From the New York American, Jelly III
LATE FROM EUROPE.
The ship New FORK, Maxwell, arrived this
morning from Liverpool, whence she sailed on
the 18th ultimo. We have our London papers
TO the evening of Saturday, 3lst of May,
inclusive, together with Lloyd's lists. The
complexion ut the news, save in that item
winch develOpes the treason of count D'A bis
bal, IS such as previous accounts had led us To
expect. The French army entered Madrid
on Tie esd of May the duke d'Angouleme
IN person on the 2Ith. regency, to be COM
posed of the dukes De San Carlos and Del
lnfantado, and of our old acquaintance, the
Marquis de Casa Yrujo was to administer the
government in the name of Ferdinand, until.
in the language of the French ulras that
monarch was restored to his rights and liberty
The duke del lnfantadu, is reported however
to have declined serving as one of the regents.
The course of operations seems to have been
thus as the French army approached the
Spanish capital, Abisba, who had been
charged by the constitutionalists with its de-
fence, was tempered with ny MoNTIJo. Abs
bal, having then determined to evacuate Mad
rid, issncd his proclamation, of the sixteenth,
which taken by itself does not prove much
against him, and then retired. On the 2lst,
force was Withdrawn, and the entry Of the
French, the seryle general Bessieres endea-
Voured to force Ills way into the capital, hut was
repuIsed by the city militia, as is said, with
great loss. Of Abishal's conduct no satsfac-
ry explanation is given, and even as to his
fate, the accounts, according to the Times, are
contradictory that paper adds
q" Some say that he has been seized by his
soldiers, and is to be tried by Il court martial.
tTc believe it WAS never expected that he
should defend Madrid he is said to have
marked out Esremadura, as the place where
military operations might commence with
success We also suspect, that without virtue
enough 10 he a patriot, he had wanted courage
- be decisive traitor. IF so, he will have in
Cured the hatred and will be exposed to the
vengeance ofhOth parties"
Other snrmisrs are, that count Abisbal's
detection, 10 which MorillO, Ballasteros, and
even Nina, are supposed to- have been priyy,
vas a concerted scheme by means ofwhich a
door of accommodation with the French
would he more readily opened and we
shall not be surprised 10 find the conjecture
which we some time since lazarded confirm
ed, that the arrival Of the French at Madrid
might lead To immediate negotiations
IL other parts of Spain noihing discouragng
- the Spanlards had occurred On the con
>
the details will he found in another place the
Spanish troops obtained a decisive advantage;
and as 10 the victory which. in his /" Bnbadil'
despatch, general Donnadieu claims to have
ohtainrd over Mina's forces in Catalonia, we
suspect few more such would ruin the
French general. As far as we can make out
Nina would seem TO have bafllcd his pursuers
and TO have thrown himself INTO Barcelona.
The French funds had declined, owing, as
is supposed to the intention which had been
announced ofncEOtiatDg a new loan oftweniy-
ave million rents in other words, of borrow
ING FIVE hundred millions francs a sum ex-
ceedng the whole debt Of the United States :;
aud that all for the pleasure of imposing, or
trying to- impose, an absolute King on the
Spaniards.
The disturbances in Ireland continued I'M
ahatcd.
According to M ariirle from the Timcs.thrre
would seem to he determination on the par,
OF the holy allies tU Interfere even with the
freedom Of Switzerland, by compelling her
10 restrict the liberty Of the press and to Danish
from her bosom the uniortunates of other
nations, to whom she afforded AN asylum
Thus daring and insOIent have the cOIleagued
tyTants become.
SEVILLE, May 3-On the eth Of last
mnn'h, The political chief Of the province as
sembPd by order of the government all the
troops in the place of the constitution, when
the declaration Of war against France. as IS
sued by our unfortunate monarch, was read
10 them. The revolutionary rhodOmOniade is
worthy Of men who had fixed themselves at
the most distant part of Andausia, and who
intend TO go to a greater distance when dan.
ger approaches.
A few days ago q meeting Of the corporate
bodies Of The city was held at the town hall,
when long audience was granted H. the mi

for The favourable reception they met with on
