and before fifteen days we shall be dt Madrid. The two
(Astiles are admirably disposed in our favour; and oar
advanced guard will loon encounter the corps of the
Citrate Ilferino. Andalusia is on the point of rising;
and we shall not be astonished to have soon an ithport^
ant communication from Madrid. Molitor marches to

Saragossa. The left flank of Mina will be tilde com-
pletely turned. The capture of Siloam, and the agi-
tation which exists in the kingdom of Valancia, have
placed the Constitutional Army In Cantlooia in so Queasy
a position, that many persons think that Mina will retire
behind the Ebro." The Moils abounds, as usual, in re-
ports favourable to the views of the invaders. Among
other things, it is alleged that the members of the Coun-
cil of State in. Madrid have drawn up a protest ageigst
the removal of the King; that the Municipality have
concurred in this measure, and. have declared for the
French. It is also stated denim reWl partisan biltidesi
has destroyed the Constitutional division commanded by
General Rotten, and threatens the Sea d'Urgel, the
speedy surrender of which is anticipated. An article
from Bayonne states, that it is generally suppose&
that the army will remain in position on the Ebro
for some time, in order to observe the impression
wl•icb the news of the actual invasion of the Penin-
sula will produce on the minds of the people. The
same article contains the following IdditlQh ; "the bands
of the Faith have not been increased 'by ihy recruits
from the interior. What causes astonishment Is, that
hitherto no Spaniard of distinction, either among the
I Nobles or Priests, has yet presented himself before the
Junta." Communications from the seat of Wei, are, it
appears, soon to experience a cessation. The following
singular explanation of this occurrence is given, in the
Journal des Debate: "The whole attention" (of the
imey, we suppose), "is turned towards Catalonia, where
the decisive operations are about to take place. Accord-
ing to the calculation of marches and movements, no-
thing can be decided, save in the latter days of this
swath, during which the corps d'armee of 'the Duke of
Augouleme must necessarily remain stationary. We
shall, therefore, be probably eight days without receiving
any important news from the army. We make this ob-
servation in order to prevent, as far as it is in our power,
credit being given to all the reports which the impatience
of curiosity, and the cupidity of stock-jobbers, will not
fail to invent." The discussion of the Budget in
the French Chamber of• Deputies, at last termi-
nated in the Sitting of last Tuesday, when the whole
law was passed by a majority of 265 to 15.—M.
de Frenilly then submitted various propositions for the
future regulation of the Chamber, the chief object of which,
Is evidently to compel the seceding Opposition to return.—
For, among other articles, it is proposed " that the refusal
of voting, after having been three times called 'panto do 50
by the President, shall deprive a Member of the Representa-
tive character," and that " voluntary absence from the
Chamber, without a legitimate cause" shall produce the
same effect. M. F. Giordau, merchantofl3ordeaux, was ar-
rested on the 26th inst.; motive unknown.

Lisbon papers to the 13th instant, received this morn-
ing,
give a detail of the military proceedings going on
in pursuit of the factious. The most recent accounts I
from Oporto state; that the head-quarters were re-
moved from Villa Real on the 7th in the morning, and
were to be at Murca the same day; that Amarante was
in the neighbourhood of Torre de Chama, and that D.
A. Silveira, who proclaimed himself Commander of the
vanguard of the French army, was at Mirandella. It is
said that every thing would be decided in two days ; but
the most probable was that the ex-Count would escape
as be could, net having means to defend himself
and tight. A supplement of the Dierie states that
the Constitutional troops entered Mirandella on the Bth
in the morning, where they were well received. The
rebels were retreating towards Brsganza. Several of the
officers taken by the rebels on the 13th had escaped from
them, disarmed the escort which guarded them, and got
Into Spain, where they were every where received with
the greatest hospitality. General Pauspelonahad escaped
from his guards. On the 21st of last month, 28 French
emigrant officers landed at Corinna to combat in the Pe-
, ninsula for the cause of liberty, and who. gave the
best information respecting the spirit which prevails
on the subject among all the French oioers. The
Diario contains a convention between Spain and Portugal,
for the reciprocal delivery of deserters, condemned crimi-
nals, &c. The 4th article authorises the armed force of ei-
ther country to pass the frontiers In pursuit of rebels, who
may fly into the other; such entrance would not be con-
sidered as a violation of the territory, and the dill and
military authorities, to assist each other reciprocally it de-
stroying such bands. which are generally lb* enemies of
both kingdoms. Sigaed by the King on the 18th March.

PRIVATE CORitERPONDENCF...

• •
Pasts; Amur 23.—Lefters were yesterday received from
Madrid to the 10th inst. l must premise, benvever, they
come from a tinarter which has all afongidespondsd. A good.
deal of ferment is described u prevaifing.in shot capital
The patriotic party had been considerably weakened or
disorganised by the departure of the Coortp the Cortes,
and Militia. Abiabal was exerting himself to the utnicist
to preserve order, and inspire confidence; btit, notwith-
standing all his efforts, the Uonstitutiosalists could not
be re-assured, nor the absolute-poser Junta suppressed.
It is even said that cries bad been heard in favour of
the French, and plots were hatching to invite their
approach.
The affair at Logrono was very serious. The Coniti:
tational troops, being the rear of liallasteros's army, be-
haved with great spirit. They first fought in defence of
the town without its limits, and when driven from this
position, barricadoed the streets, and fought from the
houses. They were at last repulsed with considerable
loss on both sides,
The French army of the west will not leave its present
position till the sth of May. It is in want of materiel,
and wilts the success of operations in Catalonia. The
Duke d'Angouleme does not calculate on arriving at Ma-
drid till the 25th of May.
The Journal des Debats the other day contained some
remarks on the papers lately laid before Parliament, and
on the ".indiscretion" of exposing some parts of the cor-
respondence to the eyes of the public. The phrases em-
ployed have more than a general meaning, and will no
doubt be perfectly understood in their application by our
Embassy here, and the Ministry at home. They allude to
the following anecdote, on which you may place complete
reliancer—On Wednesday or Thursday last, Sir C. S.
called upon M. de Chateatibriand as weal, but was not
received in the usual manner. The common forms of ci-
vility were scarcely concluded, when the Minister began
to reproach thq Ambassador in no very measured language
with revealing more to his Court than be was diplomati•
tally bound or authorised to do. " You come here," bald
he, " Sir C., in a forenoon, and, without any official busi-
ness, engage so in talk on political affairs; you the.
write home to Mr. Canning the result of our conversatioa,
and Mr. Canning chooses to lay your letters on the table
lot the House of I.' nnsnons. I beg that this intimacy, so
Awed, may end ; and that, unless upon special business,
you only attend my weekly parties along with the other
Ambassadors." So saying, these diplomatic persons
closed their political gossip; and Sir C. is not any
longer to be among " the most favoured Ministers.
I have not heard how our Minister bore the reproach, I
or if it is likely to produce any other effect, either at
home or abroad, than saving a little of Mr. Canning's
time, and a little superfluous trouble to the Secretary of
the Embassy.
In consequence of information the French Ministers
have received respecting the exigencies of the new Spa-
nish Regency, it itas been determined to a.sign 2,000,000
francs for the support of their dignity, until they tee in-
stalled in Madrid. There has been a species of Spaniard-
bunting among the police of late, and every Spaniard
who refuses to take the oath of allegiance to M. Erro,
the Archbishop of Tarragona, and his coadjutors, is or-
dered to quit the kingdom. Two or three days ago,
'some young men, from Buenos Ayres even, who were
placed in an academy in Paris, were told by their pre-
ceptors that they must either swear allegiance to the
Spanish Junta or leave France. They preferred the lat-
ter alternative.

Peals, APRIL 23.= They wrt77B from Frankfort the 13th
April.—The refusal by the Holy See to confirm the nomina-
tion of the Prelates, presented by the Princes who signed
the Concordat (Wurtamberg, Haden, Nassau, and the two
Hesses), has caused uneasiness among the Catholics of
Southern Germany. It appears that this refusal Is chiefly
owing to the opposition shown by some of the Prelates de-
signated, to the Ultra-montane principles. We lean here
the change of religion of a whole Commune of the Catholics
is the Grand Duetty of Baden. The Seigneur of the village,
Ai. de Getaraingee, embraced the Lutheran religion, and a
hundred families followed his example. The cause of this
resolution was the Ecclesiastical Authority wishing to clus-
piece the Cure from which the Commune would not sepa-
rate themselves, and he became a Lutheran.—(Courier
Francais.
The Journal des Debate publishes an article from
Bucharest, March 31, which states that orders had
been issued by the Porte for a general levy of all Mus-
schwa between the ages of 15 aid 50. 'ibis measure is
said to be intended for tbe re-conquest of the Mores, but
it may have a double object in view, for the Porte is also
said to have given a new Note to the Austrian Internun-
cio as a supplement to that confided to Lord Strangford
for Count Nesselrode, in which it renews all its old pre-
tensions against Russia.
Mr. Arthbuthnot's houshold have moved from Down-
ing-street to Whitehall, and Mr. Lushingtou's houshold
from Cleveland-square to Downing-street.

the House, in the Committee of Inquiry, that will com-
mence its investigations on Friday, May into the con-

committed to the custody of the Serjeant at Arms, and
thence sent to Newgate. The infiiry is expected to oc-
cupy a fortnight.
NATAL ACADEMY OF Mustc.—Kisto's THIATIta.—
The Concert for the benefit of the Royal Academy of
Music, took place at this Theatre on Thursday evening.
It is long since so great a musical treat has been afforded
to the Public, and every part of the lionse was crowded
to an extreme. All the most celebrated and musical per-
formers, both vocal and instrumental, at present residing
in England, contributed towards making this the most
splendid Concert that has been witnessed for years. The
Performances were divided into three parts. The first
consisted of selections from Dr. CROTCH'S Oratorio Pa-
lestine. The second and last were composed of Airs,
Duets, and Chornsses from the most celebrated Authors.
The whole was highly effective and entertaining, and we
congratulate the Public on the benefit the Institution I
will experience from the Vary numerous attendance last'
night.
