Madrid and placed himself al the head
of a few armed partizans, to deliver the
king, from the capacity in which he was
held by the Ministers. In consequence
of this. Ferdinand had issued a procla-
nation, ordering summary punishment

should not surrender at discretion, with
out naming any individuals. Swiss

The Paris papers Of Saturday, says
the London Courier OF the Soth August
Gcontain further accounts from Spain,
of the same gloomy and foreboding cha
racter as the previous ones. There e.
vidently has been discovered some ex-
teusiye and serious conspiracy in the
southern provinces of the Peninsula;
but nothing is allowed 10 transpire, by
which il can he known with certainty
what are its objects. According to some
accounts incredible as the thing appears,
Ferdinand is regarded as too liberal in
his sentiments, and therefore the bigots
in religion and politics, wish him re-
moved; according to others, he is too
legitimate in his notions, and 1t IS against
his tyranny that his subjects are plot
ting. The real truth is, spain has no
government; we had almost sold, no
King; the country is broken up into Sc
parste factions. and parties; each aim
ing at exclusive projects, and each at
tempting their accomplishment, as OPP
portunities arise, Amid anarchy and
confusion like this, arrests take place
rs a matter OF course, but they take
place in vain; the prisons are filled with
yictims-but in vain; the general frame
ofsociety is loosened, and we can only
look for repeiitions of the same scenes
Of violence. till that ordeal is thorough

has manifestly TO undergo, before she
can arrive at state Of permanent tran
guilty"
Application has been made to several
eminent houses in Madrid to furnish
provisions for large body of French
trsops, which it was contemplated to
march into Spain. The opinion in the
capital was that Ferdinand had agreed
TO grant constitutional charter, which
the French army is to see respected.

CADiz, Aug 9.-The letters which
we received to-day from Seville, dated
the 7th inst bring the following details:
A great fermentation prevails in all
the towns of Upper Andalusia, but par
ticularly at Cordana, Ejlca, and Sevil-
lie. In the first OF these cities, numerous
arrests took place on the night of the 9Th,
all of persons distinguished by their
rank or their riches 1t should seem,
however, that their arrests are founded
on motives of great Importance, for on
the sth they began at Seville, and have
been continued every night Among the
persons arrested, who already amount
to one hundred and eighty-nine, are the
Marchioness de Tebares and her whole
family, the Prior of the Consulate Of
Commerce, Andueza, the rich mer-

The Portuguese merchantmen, Notre
Dame de la Luz, has just arrived here
1l9 days from Manila, with cargo
valued at above 100000 piasters, and
the American ship Chance, from st
Blcise, with another rich cargo, includ-
ing 1850 bags indigo. Thus our mer
camille marine, which was already re-
duced almost to nothing since the eman.
cIpation of America, will be destroyed
by the Columbian privateers, which
compel our merchants to have recourse
TO neutral vessels.
