raised the whole country, has ■ot received it 01401
recruit, and the monks and priests who wen tto hive
game forth, still remain in great members upon the
frontiers. Several have returned here." A letter
from Vittoria of 29th April, written by one of the
Oacers attached to the household of the Doke of A ogon-
leme to his brother in Paris, says, " His Royal High-
ness is to leave Vittoria on the sth of May, to stop four
days at Burgos, and to arrive at Madrid on the 20th."

There are accounts in the French papers from Madrid,
but not of a later date than those mentioned yesterday,
repeating,what was stated before,that Count Abisbal was
preparing to leave the capital with his army, and that
the emigration from Madrid continued, and all the valu-
able effects that were in the capital had been sent to va-
rions strong places in the Peninsula. The General has
pointed out the cantonments which are to be occupied in
the neighbourhood of Madrid, by the different corps of
his army. On the 18th ult. he made a grand review of
the 3d year of operations, of which be has the command
in chief. The different corps =atoned in the environs
of Madrid were summoned to be present at this review,
which drew all the population from the city. After hav-
ing defiled on the bank of the Mangansres, the troops
manoeuvred till evening. These troops Led a fine ap-
pearance, and displayed much ardour. The 18th, in the
evening, the pieces of cannon began to arrive there, and
the artillery baggage, which was in the depot of Segovia.
The Political Chief of Seville has addressed a Pincla.
(nation to the inhabitants of that city, felicitating them
on the good spirit which they have displayed under re•
cent circumstances. The Militia of Madrid were re-
viewed on the 14th ; the review was very splendid, and
it furnished to the inhabitants of Seville a new opportu
nity of manifesting their enthusiasm for the Constitution.
Accounts from Cadiz of the 9th, say that General
Riego had been received there on the Bth, with the
greatest enthusiasm : he made a short speech to the
people, recommending unanimity, and strict observance
of the Constitution, for which every Spaniard on gbt to
shed his blood.

The intelligence from France is unimportant. It only
details the fetes given in Paris to celebrate the ninth An-
niversary of the King's return to his capital. lo the
evening all the public buildings were illuminated on the
occasion, as well as some private bosses. The Funds
are not quoted, as the Exchange was closed on account
of the Fete.

STOCK EXCHANGE, 12 o'CLocx.—Consols opened this
morning at 791181, and at the latter price, they remain
steady. The Express from Paris this morning, brings,
it is said, last Monday's prices of the French Rentes,—.
89, 50, and Spanish, 40. The rise of the French Funds
bas contributed to Improve our Market.—Letters direct
from Madrid of the 24th, received yesterday, state the

Letters of the 234 ult. from Madrid mention that the
people and local authorities expected the French to ar-
rive there in about a week from that date, every obstacle
being removed that could impede their advance. Count
Abisbal, in all probability, would withdraw his troops
towards Estremadura, in order to be ready to operate en
the Bank of the enemy. Upwards of 20,000 persons had
quitted the capital with their valnables, and so fixed had
been the determination of sacrificing the town for the
moment, that the appearance of the white flag would be
a subject of exaltation. The Spaniards conceit e that
when they can get the French safely pined in Madrid,
and in the centre of the country, they will be able to act
with efficiency on their flank and rear, brr cutting off their
supplies and communications and carryies on a guerrilla
warfare on the most harassing system 77
Letters from St. Sebastian of the 24thyspeak in the
most enthusiastic terms of the defence made by the gar-
rison. The first sally, they mention, was extremely gin-
rious, and the French must have experienced great loss.
Several others have subsequently been made, with great
effect. They have provisions for five months, and are in
receipt of supplies by sea. These letters add, that in
their attacks on Legrono, the French lost 1,400 men,
• circumstance that had created some surprise and alarm
to the Duke d'Angonleme. The garrison of St. Sebas-
tian is composed of three regiments of infantry, viz.
Union, Valencay, besides several companies of artillery,
in all upwards of 3000 men.
The following are extracts of letters received yester-
day from. Madrid and Seville:—
" MADRID, APRIL 21.—The proclamation of the flew Re-
gency organized under the auspices of the French Govern-
ment has just arrived here, and has filled every one with as-
tonishment and indignation. Ilan the object been to excite
in every Spaniard the most irreconcileable animosity igainst
our invaders, nothing more effectual for the purpose could
have been prepared. To atter a formal disavowal of all the
acts of the Spanish Government, political and administra-
tive, sines theft% of March; IWO, is to compromise, and of
course make an enemy of, every respectable man in the
country. Had a different course been pursued, the French,
in entering Madrid, might have met many friends, and still
more persons disposed to wait the result of the Government
to be established by them, believing it to be founded at least
on liberal principles. Mote will now be no persons of note
or tespectability to slippbrt the r..•-klovernment, or to give
it consequence in the byes ef the iii:esple. There Is scarcely
a house the inhabitants ief which are not removing or prepar-
ing to remove from the espitalt All the members of public
offices, the bureau, and thertfithileipal administrators, quit in
the present week.'.
" SZVILLS, APRIL 19.—A question is in agitation here re-
specting the removal of the King to Cadiz, not on account of
any danger that threatens the Royal person, but, it Is said,
owing to some distrust that prevails respecting the militia,
and the want of harmony between them and the regular
troops, In consequence of which some tragical events are ap-
prehended. it has been judged necessary to establish pa-
trols of horse and foot, both within and without the city._l
With regard to the King's inclination, it is said that he is
unwilling to quit Seville, and that he ventured to declare so
to several persons who have lately been introduced to him.
Rut the most important topic under discussion is the
expected changes lathe Ministry. On the I eth in the even-
ing, a secret meeting took place of the chief members of the
Cortes now In Seville, In which it was determined to pro-
pose to the King's acceptance, as Minister, Calatrava in the
first instance, and that Sancho should afterwards be united
with him if possible, with the power of selecting their own
colleagues in office. This step has arisen from a persuasion
that the present men Its power hare acted imprudently in re-
jecting the mediation of England, aid that at the present
moment Ministers Must be selected who incline to the policy
of sitemptieg an amicable accommelation with France.—
Whether this end will be answered by thi Mmation of the
ew Ministry Is still it, be proted.".
