BADAJoz, august 81.
The following royal order directed to has
excellency the marquis d. la Romano, has
been transmitted to him by Don Martin
Garray -
81 In the midst of the great cares and at
tentions which he supreme governing jua-
ia of the kingdom has taken to follow with
activity and frmness the defence of the
country, it has never lost sight of the salu-
tary reforms which the nation earnestly ex.
poets, which it's actual situation requires,
aud which must be the foundation gifts fu-
ture prosperity. One of the grestest OBJ
iects which now claim its attention, and
which ought to occupy it with the greatest
activity, is the tonyocation of the Cortes,
the most inportan. object which can or
ought to employ The supreme junta. The
more important the Object is, the more ne
ssary is ;he experience, of those who COM
pose. that assembly and rs in discussion
of such magnitude, it will be expected by
the nation that all should concur, his ma
irsy has been pleased TO grant that all the
deputies shall give their assistance. 1t will
therefore be necessary, in consequence OF
this sovereign and general determination,
that the marquis de Ia Romano separate
himself from his troops and co ne to this ci-
ty, to exercise the functions of representa-
tive of the national body, though it is GER
tainIy most difficult to place az their head a
chief of .qu,l experience and achievements.
Considering, however, the state OF the
kingdom OF Gallicia, and the principally of
As,uTias, the iunta, after mature delibcra-
ton, has determined that the marquis snail
transfer his command to that general Of his
army whom he shall Judge most capable.
l communicate to your excellence the or
der of his majesty, for its fu!iiment, advis-
iag at the same time that the command OF
the army cannot, with propriety, be trans
ferrtd TO the major general de Comb Gle
Noronba, hccaus= he being second COM
mantlant genera! i, G,liicia ought always to
remain in that Kingdom
In consequence OF this royal order the
marquis de ia Romano has signifled that he
has conGded the command OF the army to
: the major gen. Don Gabriel de Mendoza
bal, and that of The kingdom to the Condo
di Noronba, Cd commandant gen. and pre-
sident Of lis royal audience.

SEMLtN, August s.
We are informed that the English minis
ter. Mr.. Adair, has addressed to the Refs
E,Hcnd several demands on the part OF his
court, which have been communicated to
an extraordinary Divan, in which the grand
seignor has presided.
Silence is observed with respect to the
nature of the propositions made bythls min.
lister bu, it is believed they are supported
bv threats, which seem to have produced
great sensation, and which, 1t Is said, arc
made to compromise the honor OF the Otto
man Porte.
