following are extracts :
CORUNNA. MAT 2.—Deolz and Velard•—Constitutinn
or Death. With the greatest satisfaction, and for that of ull
the lovers of liberty, I announce to the public the following
agreeable intelligence:—
"At three o'clock this evening there arrived in our port
the English General Sir ltobt. Wilson, Member of Partin-
ment, who has been conveyed by the packet of the same na-
tion, Milliner, Capt. Sutton, from London.
" This illustrious General, so well :mown. in Europe fur
his lose of 'liberty, comes to Spain nut merely to offer his
personal kerviees to our Government, but to manifest to it
how much disposed the English people a:e to piotect our
glorious struggle, reckoning on the constancy and the in-
tone of which so many proofs have been given by the Spa-
niards in all times. The General is accompanied by Wm.
Julian Light, Lieutenant Colonel of the Staff, and Johu
Erskine Captain, both his Aid-de-Camps; and also Anto-
nio Adolpho Marbot, Colonel of Cavalry and Staff, Charley
Thomas, Cornet, Charles Wolter, and Ensign Lewis Lud-
wig, with the slew of en'ering the French Legion forming
in Spain, under General Liviema..d, now in Seville, treating
with our Government, and in his absence, that of Colonel
Feeler.

" The General will remain some days there. till he re-
ceive important communications which he expects, and !.o
wililthen proceed to this city, to take the direction of Lugo.
to have an interview with Gen. Quiroga, and then General
Morillo.

`• The people here have manifested the most lively enthu-
siasm at the arrival of so illustrious a personate ; he na;
received with acclamations and salute; of artillery, and
they will confines to do him all possible honours. To-mor-
row he has offered to be present at the funeral honours paid
to the victims of the 2d of May, and he has enrolled himself
In the National Militia, with the officers accompanying him.
All this I communicate.

"Vigo, May I, ISe2. " JOAQUIN ESCARIO."
CACERES, APRIL 30.—1 n this capital the news of the
entrance of the French 'tato our territory has produced an
agreeable sensation. All the Patriots, whatever their
way of thinking, have united, and all renewed theiroath,
to die rather than yield to tyranny.
SALAMANCA, MAY 4. —" We have here the Politi-.11
Chief of Valladolid, with the volunteer.; of that civ.
and several others of different places. We have here
also Gen. Empecinado, who has here been joined loy
300 cavalry, and 400 infantry, tia make war on the ene-
mies of the Constitution."
BITTING OF THE CORTES OP THE 13th.

The discussion was opened on the opinion of the Com-
mittee of Commerce as to the duties which ought to be
paid on foreign goods actually imported. The Cotnmits
tee toss of opinion that 15 per cent. ought to be taken,
but without exempting from the duties of deposits, and 1
half per cent. of Consalldo.
S. SURRA oppased this opinion, contending that the
introduction of foreign goods would destroy the nation-
al industry.
S. &lA/STA contended that the trtestion was not
the introduction or non•introduction of Foreign Hoods,
but the Duties to be levied on those already intro-
duced.

S. ARGCELLEE contended that it was necessary to re-
nounce for ever the idea of manufacturing in the Penin•
sula or indispensable that the laws protecting it shwa' I
subsist, It is a fact that under the system of duties, the
manufacturers of Catalonia, Valencia, Seville, Toleio,
and all the provinces, have proceeded to manufactum.
He opposed the opinion of the Committee.
S. ISTUREt approved of the opinion.
S. Romano disapproved of it.
S. SANCHEZ approved of it.
It was finally declared that there were not grounds for
voting on the opinion by 6S against 62, and it was refer-
Fred back to the Committee.

S. UALCANO having read the opinion of the Committee
of Diplomacy on the Memorial of the Secretary of State.
as to the conduct of the French Government, and on
what was dose by the English Government to maintain
the peace between France and Spain, concluded nit's
moving—" Tbat the Government of his Majesty proceed-
ed in a manner worthy of the nation at whose head it was.
and that the war which it sustains against the unjust and
perfidious aggression of the French Government, could
not be avoided, without failing in its most sacred obliga-
tions, and compromising the honour and dignity of the
Spanish Nation."
The opinion was ordered to be printed, and the Pre-
sident stated that a day would be named for the dis.
cession.

extremity.
