manner, and In the public square, before a
very numerous collection Of people. He
said that all was lost in Spain, as il appear
edbeyond doabt that the King was afree-
mason; that in such state OF things the
object ofall Spaniards, who were the friends
Of their country and of religion, should be
to place On the throne the Infant Don Car
los, whose good principles, and whose
Catholicism, were well'known. All said
he, five could, with the assistance ofGod,
effect 10 imporanta change, the state of
unhappy Spain would not yet be quite des-
perate. Here therefore is the principle Of
Legitimacy attacked by the very persons
who ought to defend it.-[IRdicateur de

The following account is from Seville,
under date of the 9TH Of August. For three
days arrests are continually made here.
Nearly two hundred are already in coBfne-
lnent, and all the prisons are filed, orders
have been given to the superiors Of con-
vents, to place at the disposal of the
civil sntliority all such parts Of heir-re-
spective houses, as they have no immediate
necessity for. Among the persons arrest
ed are a great many monks, who held Off
ces in their converts, and also canons. IL
would appear that these arrests have refer
ence to some plot Of great importance.
Similar proceedings have taken place at
Cordova, and as it appears, simultaneously,
with those of our city. At Cordova, as
here, monks, canons, and other individuals
of considerable wealth, form the great ma
lority of those who have been arrested.
PARIS, AUG. 20.
The Etoie Of this evening gives the fol-
lowing news from Spain:-
"On the 10th ofthis month General Bes-
sieres Quilted Madrid privately, with the in
tention to put himself at the head of some
psrtizans, and 10 deliver the King of Spain
from the captivity in which he is held by
his Ministers. We learn that on the 18th
three companies of the Regiment of San
tiago, cautioned at Jetafe, took, with Bes-
sieres, the direction Of Brihuega.
"From the accounts received, il appears
that Bcsseres presented himself before
Brihuega, in the name of the King, and
that, after having passed in review the Roy
alist volunteers Of that city, to the number
of 80, he caused them to lay down their
arms, of which he took possession, with Il
hundred partisans who followed him.
"Ihe three companies of the regiment
Of Santiago who had believed themselves
to be marching in the name of the King,
under the order OF their Lieutenant Colo
mel, Comes, returned to their duty imme-
diately upon discovering the truth.
" Bessieres did not stop at Brihuega.-
II is believed that he has proceeded for Ar
ragon, where he hopes to find partisans.-
But orders are every where issued, and it
is expected that he will be arrested in a
very short time. Two columns, consisting
of nearly 1900 men, infantry and cavalry,
with four pieces of cannon, have gone in
pursuit of him.

CO imand of these troops. -'

ROYAL BEcREE.
"Tbe scondalous insurrection which has
| taken place at Jetaie, and which has been
caused by the desertion of two officers OF
the FIRST Regiment of Cavalry of the lire OF
Santiago, who had carried off six soldiers
and as many horses, and whose example
has been followed by three entire compa-
MES of the same Regiment, has called fer
my sovereign attention, and has convinced
my royal soul of the necessity for taking
energetic measures to ensure public tran
guilty, and the repose of my well-beloved
subjects. Thus, whatever be the pretext
for this ebcllion--whatever the means eR-
ployed in the seduction of the troops, the
guilty ought to be punished in an exem-
pary manner. With this view | have de-
creed rs follows -
"Article /. Ii to the first orders intima-
ted by the Generals, Chiefs, and Officers OF
my troops, the rebels shall not surrender at
discretion, they shall be summarily exc
cuted.
80. All those who shall unite and make
common cause with the rebels shall pun
ished with death.
"3. TO the Rebels who may be taken
with arms in their hands, only time to pre-
pare to die as Christians shall be granted.
"a. All persons, military men or others,
who shall elsewhere render themselves
equally culpabie Of the crime of rebellion,
will incur the penalties recited in the pre-
ceding articles.
"5. The scrgeants, corporals, and SOL
diers, who shall deliver up their rebelhous
chiefs and officers, shall be pardoned.
"lou will see that these presents be
executed, printed, published, and distribu-
ted in such manner as TO render them
generally known.
