M‘DAID. Auo. 14.—The Government has received news
from r&diz, dated the Bth instant, at which time the King
and bis aucust family enjoyed good health. Dearth and
disorder daily increase in Citlit and the Isle of Leon.
A v,l iminons correspondence has been intercepted in a
vessel which was endeavouring to escape from Cadiz, and,
en bawd of which was takes a noted revolutionist, named
3liguel Cabrera, of Nevares, ancient Political Chief of So-
ria an ,ICalatayucl.
Advice, from Ferrol state that the Tlsemis French frigate
cld El Veneador Spanish brig of war, and two gun-boats,
lave left that port to cruise off Garonne, and thus complete
the so,nrka4e of that place by sea as essentiallvas by land.
Since the flight of Quiroga, the Govermw Novella, who
succeeded him, has sent a flag of motto General Bourck,
proposing to him to sign the capitulation which had been
offered to him some days previously. This proposal has
been rejected, in ronsequenceof the change of circomatances
and the condectof the besieged, who were base enough to
tire aeon the first flag of truce. General Novella, fearful
of being taken by assault, was then reduced to the ne-
cessity of soliciting leave to send a Colonel to General 1110.
rill* to ask his :Wrier.
The answer of the Count of Carthagent not being
doubtful, the immediate reduction of the fortress, may be
regarded ascertain.
Two positive details have been collected of a crime which
finds no example in the EDDA, of the French revolution.
linworthy of the military rank, the rebel Quiroga, some
hours previously to his departure, canted 51 prisoners, who
were confined in the castle of St. Antoine de la Caminna, to
embark is a vessel from Seville, under pretext of conveying
them to a more secure place; but scarcely had these ill-
fated persons reached the offing, when they were assassi-
nated, and thrown overboard, eonforntably to the orders of
the barbarous Qniroga. The first (sallies picked up were
those elan officer and an ecclesiastic, who were bo'und haeir
to back, and had their throats tut with a sabre. The list
of these 51 victims is pnbliahed in the Gazette of this day.
Amongst them are the Brigadier of the Royal Armies, Don
_Salvador Escandon, and the three Lieutenants-Colonel Fran-
cisco Pereira, Theodore Gil, and Joseph Aragon.
Aucusr 13.—We ran learn nothing of importance here
until after :he arrival of the Duke d'Angouleme before Ca-
diz, which will take place•on the evening of the 16th just.
We malt then allow the Prince some days, either to attack
or to consider proposals of arrangements.
BLOCKADE OF ST.,SEBASTLAN, Run. 12. •
On Sunday we learnt the submission of General Billie-
teros: this news did not surprise us, as we expected it.
We, however, view it as'an event towards the pacification of
Spain. In rejoicing fur this cows oar military fired 21
guns. In an instant, the' ramparts of the town of St. Se-
bastian were thronged with the Constitutional garrison.
An officer of the 41st regiment was sent in with a flan of
truce; he bad a long interview with the officer who was ap-
paiated to receive him; but nothing has transpired respect-
tog the conference.
To day two cannon on the ramparts were fired upon the
posts of the 20th of the line ; no one was hurt.

FOURTH CORM.
Vt Ltd. FRANCS, Aug. 13.—Milans, after having concen-
trated the troops remaining to him, at Moot Blanc, has
marched on Calaf.
Karon d'Eroles from Manress, General Trornelin from
'glutei's. and two battalions which were- at 'rich. have
marched in pursuit of the enemy, the intention of whose
movement seems to be to raise the blockade of the Sell
d'Urgel. Two thousand men have just been marched hence
on Igualada to relieve the corps of Gen. Tromelin.
51ADRID, Aug. 11.—it is officially known here, that the
news of the capitulation of liallasteros had reached Cadiz
the 9th instant. Nothing is said of the effect it bad pro-
duced ; but great hopes are entertained, and the arrival of
the Duke of Angouleme at Port St. Mary must produce
iniportaet events. The King is absolutely free in Cadiz;
he lids become the salvation even of those who oppress him;
Ite is treated with consideration, and respect has succeeded
to insults. Every time he roes nut, the enthusiasm of the
peopte is redoubled, and nothing any longer stops the re
peated cries of Lire Me nit
Letters from Seville awl Port St. 51-try all sptlak of
the deliveraace of tbe. King as an event necessarily very
near at hand.

STUTTUARD, Aug. 15.—The uneasiness which the depar-
ture of the three Foreign Ambasssdors from Stuttgard
caused some time ago has nearly ceased. The friendship

which oar Sovereign +hewed on this occa's'On has redoubled
the love of his subjects. Never was there a King More po-
pular, or more deservedly so. The menageries of Ira pre-
decessor have beeo done away, to make room for more use-
Tut establishments. He encourages agriculture and the
instal arts; &ever goes stunting and never takes a walk
without having some useful object in view. —The Harass at
Stuttgard and %Yellen, and this. lustitution for the Enema-
ragemeat of Agriculture at Hoheinheim, under the direction
of M. Wertz, are the admiration of all strangers.
Ileinsissao, Aug. 12.-The Committee of die Great
Council of Frankfort bare granted the requests addressed
to it, and have refused permission to a number of foreigners
engaged in literature and politics, to reside in Frankfurt.

noise.

PORTUG L.
Recent aceonnts from Lisbon state that things there
must very shortly change, for a most powerfn I and distin
00h5.% party is cow in active operation against the pre-
sent Ministers, and it is expected that they will speedily be
overthrown. The Palmela and Pamplona system is, it is
farther stated, to shake off the British yoke, as they term
it, and to submit the Government of that part of the Penin-
sula to the influence of the Continental Despots. To effect
this, and to aid the general views of the Ministry, the
Duke d'Angonteme had been seriously solicited to march
re,ooo French soldiers into Portugal in exchange for a Poi,
topless army of equal strength, and by these means it was
expected that empleymeat sight have been obtained for the
leek's and discontented Portuguese soldiery. Mr. Ward,
the British Charge d'Affaires, however, protested against
any such proceeding. and immediately acquainted the Mi-
nister Palmela of his intentions to cease acting as British
Functionary, the moment spy foreign troops interfered in
the internal affairs of Portugal. The disposition of
the Portuguese army continued to cause the utmost un-
easiness amongst the friends of the absolute King, Mid
daring two or three days previous to the sailing of the
pasitet, repeated instances had bees given of their state of
eseitement. They were clamorous for the reappointment
of their old officers, and refused to obey the caret: aai
swags, Jockey termed them, whom the Queen's party
bad placed over them. They also declared that they had
bees der& and it was thought they were ready to follow
any Constitational leader who might again restore them to
the paths of true honour. Whilst this was the state of the
public feeling in Portugal, the Government, erected there
ander the influence of a Bourbon Princess, and of a few in
terested traitor* and fanatics, was using all the power of the
kingdom to &befit the French to strangle Spanish freedom.
On the dilated August, the brig of war Providentia, the
schooner Nymphs, and a ship- transport, sailed from the
Taps, bound to the Uuadalquiver, loaded, by the present
