| According to these papers, the &c OF
Liberty in Spain, has 90 prospects OF st5tfess.
Ii appears certain that Morillo, has abzI1on-
ed the Constitutionalists, and accounts from
Madrid of The 10Th of July, assert that be has
actually Joined the French, with 5000 of his
troops. II SO, this will be an unexpected and
heavy calamity to the Spaniards.
DETECTION OF MORILLO.
By letter received in England it appears
that on the 21st of June, Morilo was within
so miles of Corunna, with a force of IL to
5000 men, tolerably well equipped, and said
to be in good spirits. In letter TO Quiroga,
dated at Lugo, 28th, he complains that his
messenger to Corunna, had been stopped ;
states that it was we'll known that he would
not recognize the Regency, which was es-
tablished al Seville. He had been determin-
ed make every sacrifice to defend the polite
al constitution of the monarchy, but he could
not recognize the acts at Seville, wherein it
was attacked at its foundation. He had still,
however, determined to resist the invasion,
unless the French consented to a proposition
which he had made to Gen. Bourck, to sus-
spend hostilities and agree to an arfnistice,
during which Gallicia and the other provinces
should be left free until the King and the ma
ton could adopt the most suitable form of
government. " But how" be asks, g can |
resist invasion, if you are forward TO separate
public opinion from the force | have to en-
ploy."
The object of this letter, was to invite Qui-
roga to unite in his plans but il seems did not
produce that effect.
On the LIST of July, Morillo addressed a
proclamation to the inhabitants and troops of
the 4th corps, assigning at length the reasons
why he could not recognize the acts of the tu-
multuous Regency at Seville. the principal of
which is that the Cortes had no right by the
constitution to declare the King in a state Of
moral incapacity, in the manner they did. He
complains Of the excuses which have since
occurred, speaks of the satisfaction the peo-
pie had manifested at his propositions for Sc
curing peace to the proVlnce-L'' But Quiroga,
who agreed with me respecting that Regencr
who promised to take no part in the affairs,
asked permission to embark quietly for anoth-
er country. pretending that he could not sup
port such acts-Don Altonio Qutroga inter

wrote friendly letter to him, in which sought
to bring him back to reason, but my counsels
have been fruitIess. The authorities have
answered no better to my expectations.-" Pro-

suhordination, threaten you with pillsge and
