was, agreeable to notice given by Mr. de
Neuvilie, performed at St. Patrick's Church.,
yesterday morning, commemorative OF His
Royal Hlghness the Duke de Berri. The
hour fixed for the commencement OF the SER
vice was ten O'Clock, but for some time pre-
vious numbers OF persons had began to en-
ter the church, anxious to secure seats TO
witness the ceremony. When the service
commenced every part Of the church was so
crowded, that, Notwithstanding its late en-
largement, probably not more than half the
number that presented themselves, could be
accommodated Such. indeed, is the uni
yersal esteem in which the French minister,
Mr.. Hyde de Neville is held at the seat of
government, and elsewhere in the United

ANOTHER MAIL ROBBERY AND DETECTION.
A young man, by the name of Smith Davis,
having previously, as he supposed, succeed
ed with one, of the mail drivers, to divide
the spoil, made an attempt to rob the mail
this morning near West Farms. General
Baily, the post master OF this city having
been informed by the driver of the plan, and
of the time fixed, every thing was prepar-
ed to secure The robber Mr. Wiley, clerk
in the post office, and Mr. Curtis, one of the
marshals, went out to New Rochelle on Sa
turday afternoon, where they remaEed un-
til the eastern mail had arrived. Davis,
provided with keys, got on the box with the
driver, and Mr.. Wiley and the marshal took
seats inside. After Davis had opened the
mail. and taken out several bundles Of let
tiers, the signal was given, and after an In
effec:ual attempt TO escape with one of the
bundles, he was secured by Messrs. G. and

REVOLUTION IN SPAIN.


Blythe arrival this forenoon OF the ship
Henry capt Devoll, in 45 days from Glib
raitar. we learn that the United States
frigate Guerriere, capt. c. b. Thompson,
and Peacock, capt. Thomas Brown, had
arrived in the bay. from Gaeta, and the
Franklin "a, and the remainder Of the
SQUADRON was expected daily. The last men-
toned ship, it was said. would soon sail for
America.
To Mr.. Bourne, belonging to the Navy,
who came passenger in the Henry. we are
indebted for the following account OF the
progress of the revolution in Spain.
Enclosed are the four leading procla-
nations of Quiroga, commanding the con-
stitutionalists, and note from an lntelll-
gent friend of mine at Gibraltar. communi
eating the principal facts OF the revolution
lists success.
g We left in the morning of the 9Th ult.
The consiitutionalists had possession at that
time. Of Algesiras aud ST. Rogue. and were
advancing on Malaga. They shed no blood
aud had used no violence. They were
welcomed every where by the people, and
expected impatlenAy at the large cities "a

had established his head quarters about half

way betweenSt Rogue and the Rock. he
had few troops. and they were dwindling
fast by desertion. Twas whispered even
that y this butcher of Valencia was conni-
wing at the success of the constitulionalists,
by way of saving his own head. A letter
from gentleman who had just arrived on
the frontier OF France, after travelling thro'
Spain from Gibraltar, represents the whole
people as constitutional.
/" The revolutionary troops were in fine
order, well clad, AM well fed, and well
paid; every thing they received was paid
for. Not a soldier had been billetted on an
Individual, without bis consent"
The following is the letter spoken of above,
addressed to Mr.. Bourne. while at Glib
raltar.
'sMr. Bourne-The four proclamations
OF Gen. Qairoga herewith sent, will give a
pretty accurate history of the revolution
which has broke out in Andaiusia, and threat
ems to extend through the whole kingdom OF
Spain.
The revolt was at ARGOS, on The Cd inst.
by the army under the command OF Count
Cauderon, who was to command it against
Buenos Ayres. The Count was arrested
and imprisoned-the army placed under
the command of Quiroga, who immediate
", without opposition, marched through
Port St. Mary's to Cticlana, and thence to
the isle of Leon, proclaiming the constltu-
ton in all places, in which he was heartily
joined by the people.
In Leon, he possessed himself of the town
of San Fernando and Isla, where he cap
mred all the stores collected there for the
grand expedition ; he then captured the ma
val arsenal of Caracas and ship OF the
line and other vessels stationed there, win
a number of navy officers. who were I'M
prisoLed. Thus commanding all the strong
holds around and completely master OF the
bay of Cadiz, he was to go against that city
with all his force, at night, on the 28th inst.
and II W believed there would be no oP-
position. He was supplied with every thing
&. ca. aputed, on the 28th our latest accounts,
to have 81 900 men.
