P.'scellencyl—The fury of the troops of Ballasteros

greater violence, in proportion as the joy and love of the
oeople are more warmly expressed on account of the de-
liverance of filching, our Lord, and his family. The sa-
tellites of that disorganizing faction can no longer repress
the sentiments which animate them, and their perfidious

." On the 3.1 of this month the town of Cubra was the
theatre of acts of scandal, violence, and profanation, com-

gated those acts, or at least authorised them, in concert

" The report whirls I received this morning at 3 o'clock,
and which I 1. sr transmit, will cousuannicate to your Excel

perpetrated by the assassin 'lpso at Madrid. I annex to it
the report of the commandant of the column, who left this
city to please himself under the command of General Care.
The se two documents will convince your Excellency of the
danger with which the province is menaced, if energetic
'measures he not taken to prevent the explosion, which ap-
pears to be imminent, and the consequences of which
would be incalculable. With respect to myself, yielding to
no one in love for my King, I would instantly place myself
at the head of the small force at my disposal, and chastise
the delinquents, but the duties of my situation withhold me,
and elps K thy ardent desire to wash out with the blood of
these rebels that stain with which they have disgraced their
country, or to prove, by shedding my own blood, what a
faithful soldier, who has always girded on his sword with
honour, can do for his King. Your Excellency will render
justice to my sentiments, and appreciate the fears I disclose.
I beg of you to make the conduct of the Constitutional
troops known to his Majesty, in order that he may in his
wisdom adopt the measures which are imperiously called
for by a dismayed province.

A letter from Perpignan states, that Milans left Taraga-
gona, on the 20th of September, at the head of 2,000 IDOL
L!oberas, who nas retreating before the Baron d'Eroles,
made a sudden countermarch on the 30th, and attacked
the Baron at Sidetuon, three leagues from Lerida. It is
said that the Baron's corps, which coosisted of about 1,500
or 1,600 men, was roughly handled, and that he lost 700
prisoners.
Count Pozen di forgo, the Russian Ambassador, left

A Flanders mail arrived last night, bringing the follow-
ing news from Spirt, in an article dated Bayonne, October
II:

The King,lt is said. intends, when he reaches Seville, to per-
forma netrvaine(a nine days' prayers) in honour of St. Ferdi-
nand, whose lady is in that city, doubtless in conformity with
the ancient usages. The following particulars are reported
respet ting the occupation of Cadiz. he militia and those
troops who were averse from any arrangement, and desired
to defend the place to the last extremity, were sent out of
ti by a stratagem contrived by those who wished to sur-
render. It was agreed with the French Generals that the
latter should make a false attack on the Isle of Leon ; ell
those who could net be depended upon by the contrivers of
the scheme were sent oat of the city to defend the points
that were threatened ; they perceived the snare and wanted
to re-enter, but it was then too late, and when they persisted.
they were told that they would be fired upon. There was
now no obstacle to treating about the surrender of the
plate, and the liberty of the Royal Farads.
It is now said, that the occupation of Spain by the whole
army is to be for six months; that it will then take up a
position on the Ebro, and that the French will not occupy
any other part except Cadiz, ;nd that a division will
remain at Madrid, but not do duty there. It is said that to
detach Mina from the party which might still bold out on
Lis seconnt, he is to be Vice-Roy of Navarre. It is also
said that the Members of the Cortes bare had liberty to em-
bark, and that they are gone to Gibraltar.
The letters from Madrid received to-day, of course bring
nothing new.
A Decree is spoken of, disbanding the old army, and
ordering a new organization of troops to the number of
40.000 men. Madrid is tranquil ; the French, however, are
extremely attire and vigilant, plaring sentinels at the prin-
cipal shops, and sending out frequent patroles to prevent
disorders which might end in bloodshed. The proceedings
against Itiego, who has undergone one examination, are
going on with all activity, The general opinion is that lie
will be condemned.

Letters from Madrid affirm, that Ballameros has been
arrested with his whole sta., and that they ►re to be pat on
their trial.

Mehear no mere of the ditiorder at Passage.
It is reported that there are disturbances in several parts
of Galicia, on account oldie tithes, which the people refuse
t o pay.

Ex TRAORDINARTRREMILANCES.—There are now living
and well, in Oldham-road, Menclieste r, tain brothers,
about six years old, whose resemblance to each other in
growth, make, feature, voice, and complexion has been so
exact, that it was found difficult for any one, the parents
excepted, to distinguish one from the other. Their names
are Joseph and James —. Souse time since as James
was viewing himself in a glass, he started back as if uncon-
scious df the resemblance, and exclaimed, in a tone of sur-
prise, " See, Mammy ! there is Joseph's face in the glass
looking 'at me !" It was with difficulty he could be per-
suaded of his error, or that it was his own features, and not
those of his brother Joseph he had been contensplating.--e
At the present time, one of these twins is, in a very slight
degree, lustier than the other, but the resemblance is such
as to excite admiration, and is heightened by both being
dressed alike.—(Soltos Express.)
Oa Friday night, after the workers of the cotton works
at Johnston were dismissed, two cotton spinners of the
names of Kinuointy and Smith, went to the Obi Mill dam
in search of salmon, which they expected to find in cruives,
which they imagined some poachers bad placed there.—
There was a considerable swell in the river at the time.—
When they Mlle to the dam, they stript their shoes and
stotkings and went along the top. When about the centre
of the neer, Hinnoway said he was getting giddy, and hal
and Smith caught hold of each other and were instantly I
afterwards precipitated over the dam. Smith being a dex-
terous swimmer got to land but hinnoway was drowned.
The river has been repeateily searched for his body from
abscissa till its inaction with the Clyde t but it was not'
bond yesterday torenoon. The wife of the unfortunate
man has bees is a taelaaettely state dace the death of her
husband.

VONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1823.

STocx Ex cu INGE. TWELVE o'CLoctc.—Consols opesed
this morning at

The Expresses from Paris have brought the Frenchßentes
at 90-30, and Spanish Bonds at 24 The great fall of
Spanish Bonds in the above capit4l was sensibly felt in
our foreign market this morning. The Bonds opened at
274, 25, 274, and are now 26; which is a fail since Saturday
of 5 per cent.
The falling offof Spanish Bonds at Paris, is attributed to
a Telegraphic despatch received from the King of Spain,
who, it is understood, is determined not to deviate from his
first decree in regard to the Spanish Loan.
By private letters received by the above Express, it is
stated, that Baron d'Eroles has been made prisoner by Anna,
who has sent word to the French Mar,sbal, that he is de-
termined to sacrifice the Baron, with two French officers,
and two Priests, should the Spanish Government execute
General Itiego.

Fatima, FUNDS.—There is; little or nothing doing,
eiterpt in Spanish Bonds.

An Express from Paris this morning, has brought us
Satutday's journals, of which the following are extracts:
(VROM TIIE JOURNAL DES DCBAYS.)
NEWS FROM SPAIN.
Madrid, Oct. 12.

It is thought his Royal Highness the Duke d'A ngouleine
does not wi►h to deprive the King of Spain of the honou►
be shewn to him by the inhabitants of Madrid.
Therefore he will not enter the capital at the same time as
Ferdinand.

DIAT.►ao, OCT. I3.—After the reception of a despatch
from the Major General for the Duke Conegliaso, the
Marshal set oft. for Sar►la, which is near Barcelona. The
negotiations I►ave begun, bat the Marshal has caused the
heavy artillery to advance,to bring the busiaess to a speedy
conclusion. From Sarrla the Marshal went to Hailstone, a
league and a half distant from Barcelona. It is generally
thought that the sortie which took place yesterday, will
be the last one.
The Sub Prefect of Bayonne writes, under date Oct. 13,
to the Pref. et of the Gironde :
The state of the health of the Laziret established at
Horde Labourda, near the Port of Passage, was, on the
I Ith.oul3 one sick person, and five convalescents.

PARIS, Oct. 17.—The Duke of Yentadour, Aid-de.eanmp
of the Duke d'Angoulenve, whose arrival we announced
yesterday, was received this morning by the King, and had
a peivate audience.,

The Council General of Paris, oa the proposition of
Count Chabrol, Prefect of the Seine. has solicited his (Ma-
jesty to permit the City of Paris to give afde to his Royal
Highness the Duke d'Angouleme and the Spanish
Army.
Yesterday at midnight, parsed through Paris a Courier
from the English Doverument, carrying orders to Sir Win.
A'Court to proceed to the King of Spain..
To day the Municipal corps having at their head, Count
Chabrol and M. Delavan, Prefect of the Police, was ad-
mitted to an audience of the King; after which the Count
Chabrol delivered a speech, to which his Majesty made the
follou ing answer :

" I am extremely sensible of the sentiments expressed by
my good city of Paris. 'rimy could not have given me a
greater mark of attachment, than by offering a fete, which
will be worthy of him, whom I love to call my son, and
who is the glary of France, and the happiness of my old
age."

The Royalist Faction in Spain Is beginning to avail it-
self of the libel ty given them by Ferdinaed's decrees, to
wreak their vengeance, not only upon their open ene-
mies, but opon all who do not entirely adopt their fanati.
cal creed. Not even the treason of liallasteres and his
staff, can atone for their having ones affected to follow the
Constitutional standard. We are informed, that in conse
quence of some " excesses" amongst the troop that
formed his divisios, himself and his officers are to be put
upon their trial; while one Antonio !Minas threatens to
march and chastise the soldiers, whose " fury manifests
" itself with more violence daily. proportioned to the joy
" felt by the people relative to the delivery of the King
" and his fawily." This is decisive enough of the feeling
of the soldiery ; and we heartily wish that Ballesteros,
and all of his staff who have been insist ...genial in nee-
tralisiog this feeling, may be banged op in the midst of

-
the brave soldiers whom they have betrayed. This feeling,
which is common to the Spanish army, will yet occasion

great trouble to the Royalists. The Officers who have
been weak enough to abandon the constitutional cause,.
finding themselves hated, despised, and insulted, instead or
being caressed and rewarded, will ' naturally endeavour to
defend themselves against the dangers with which they
are threatened by the Royalists, by cultivating the disaf-
fection of the troops. All those Spanish soldiers who
were marched prisoners into France, will now
be sent back again ; and they will be ready at
any time to join the renewed cries of liberty, and to avenge
the dishonor entailed upon the Spanish nation by the trea-
son and cowardice of those who should have been its de-
fenders. The French have hail nothing to boast of, but the
success of their gold. Never did any one, at the head of a
successful army, reap so miserable a harvest of glory as
Prince Hilt. Not a sprig of laurel has he gathered. The
corruption of Spanish principle was his sole object—he
never intended to array his army against the strength of
Spain. All his achievements were the result of bribery.—
It was the loan of eighteen millions which conquered
Spain. The French army was only the stalking horse of
her intrigues. The most miserable and paltry tricks were
resorted to by this Son of St. Louis, and his minions.—
The following statement of the method in which
the patriotic portion of the army of Cadiz was
treated, will furnish a good idea of the general conduct of
the French and Royalist faction : "The militia, and those
" troops who were averse to any arrangement, and desired
" to defend the place to the last extremity, were sent odt of
" it by a stratagem contrived by those. who wished to sur-
" render. It was agreed pith the French Generals, that
" the latter should make a false attack on the Isle of
" Leon. All those who could not be depended on by
" the contrivers of the scheme, were sent oat of the city
" to defend the points that were threatened;—they per-
" ceived the snare, and wanted to re-enter, but it was too
" late; and when they persisted, they were told they
" would be fired upon. There was then no obstacle to
" treating about the surrender of the place, and the liberty
" of the Royal Family." After such a trick, it is truly
ridiculous, to bear Prince Hilt informing Ferdinand, that
be owes his liberty to the brave French army. Where there
has been any contest, the French have nothing to boast of
their success:—They have beaten oo army, stormed no
fortress, executed no one brilliant project ; bat
?hey bare hired Generals. purchased fortresses,
and bribed Governors. Their pioneers did not
march w ith saws and pick-axes, but with money bags, and
bills of exchange. It is not, however, by bribing a rascal
to betray his trust, that principle can he eradicated, or
knowledge be extinguished :—and, if the Spanish nation,
as a whole, is indifferent to frecdom,it cannot be in love with
despotism; and the enlightened will always be ready to
oppose it. Riego may, perhaps, be sacrificed on the
scaffold; but it will only increase the number of those
who profess his sentiment', and, who will pant for the
opportunity of revenging his death. We are among those
who still hope, and with some reason, that the game is net
op even in Spain. The players may be tired for the tno-
meat, bat they will recover a proper tone, when, taught
by their past misfortunes, they may play with more caution,
and more energy. The Swedes taught the Russians to
conquer by beating them. France may find her le.wons to
Spain have the saute effect.

At theKingstoeAssizes last weekfoue cases of appeal were
heard againstronvictions by thatsagaciousand upright Ma-
gistrate, Mister Swebey! They included the B4;rough road,
and the Waterloo Road cases; and, strange to say, neither
Mr. Swabey himself, nor any on his part, attended to
support his convictions. After his declaration that " maey
lies had been teld about the matter," it was to be expected
that he would hive taken the opportunity of attending,
and setting the public right upon the affairs ; but, as if
cotiscio.,s that the Bench, at the Quarter Sessions, would
neither regard him, nor the evidence upon which he convict-
ed, he left the appeals unanswered, and the convictions to be
quashed as a matter of course. Mr. Tbessiger very pro-
perly remarked that" the public ought to have some pro-
tection against such a man." If he continues to act in
this way, be is not fit to be a Magistrate and intrusted
with the power of depriving people of their liberty, and
putting them to s'tch expellee and inconvenience as his
caprice may incline him. In the last ease beard at King-
ston. it appears that he had committed a tem named
Gibson, for having a pair of scissors in a sheath in his
pocket ! A Bow-street officer saw him in a crowd ; and
though he was not in the act of committing any offence,
the officer, in the plenitude of his authority, seized
and searched him. In his pocket the scissors were found ;
and this was enough to induce Mr. Swabey to commit him
as a rogue and a vagabond. Mr. Swabey did not appear
in this case hut sent two officers to depose to the great
tact, that he had a pair of scissors ; and one of the officers
deposed, that he knew the man was in the habit of
hawking linen for sale—which was the story he told of
himself; and which might•have accounted to Mr. Swabey
for the possession of the scissors, if it bad been necessary to
give any account of them, as coming tinder the head of
unlawful weapons! The officer, however, had sworn that
be suspected the scissors were intended to be used for cut.
tiny pockets. We are not aware that a mere intention, if
it did exist, to do such a thing, was any legaL crime :
bat for a Magistrate to commit on the alleged suspicion of an
officer that an offence was intended to be committed, is so
audacious a violation of all roles of justice, that the public
ought to demand either the removal of Mr. Swisher,
as incompetent, or that he should engage to at
tend some school for the instruction of adults to learn
nittle of his duty. There was a society for the
iestruction of growl-up ignoransusses ; and, if ite still
exist, and Hasty of our readers• are subscribers to the insti.
talon, we should feel obliged to them for a recommendation
of Mr. Swabey to its benefits. The worstof these matte's

is, that ignorance is a safe plea, in bar of action for
damages; .o that no recompense can be obtained by the•
injured parties.

Ten thousand stand of arms sent off by the Spanish
Committee, entered Corunna only three days before it sur.
rendered, which have faller into the hands of the French.
A cargo of powder and shot, which was to have been
shipped at the same time, was, by an oversight, delayed;
but was sent off three days before the news of the capture
reached town, and has not since bee■ beard of. The
Committee sat at the Crowo and Anchor Tavern on Thurs.
day last, and, in :he course of two or three more sittings,
we understand, they will be able to make up their accounts,
when it will be " dissolved by mutual consent."—(Morning

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN.
Stn.—The projert of the Bank lending money on mart-
cares of land, i 4 novel in its nature, and incalculable as to
its results. The experiment, it is said, is only to extend to
'he amount of two millions ; but where will it extend to, if
the project takes ? and take it will with the majority of the
debased and time-nerving land-holders of England.—The
schema, when carried into effect, will make the Bank a
Land Bank, soil should it gather strength as it goes on,
one half the land, if not all, may become the property of
this' already over-gorged and insatiable corporation. It
cannot be done without an Act of Parliament, but an Act
to that purpose will be passed. This precious scheme is
