In the French papers of the 20th July
it is stated that the army beseiging. Cadiz
had retired from St. Mary’s to Xcrea, in
consequence of several reverses which Gen
Bourmont had experienced in the vicinity
of Seville. Letters from Bayonne of a lau
dato, represent the guerilla parties as si
active and entei prising in the . vicinity ol
Madrid, that the Duke d'Angoulemd was
at one time In dunger of being carried <-fl
by a party of them while promenading in
the iiivirons ol that city. On the authority
of letters from the same place it is staled
that the “Prince had given ot dors to Gens
Bordesoulle and Bourmont to withdraw
from Andalusia, and tu concentrate (licit
troops in the neighbourhood of Madrid, tin
tranquility of whieh does not seem to be
secure.—Some even pretend that secret or
ders have been given for the whole army
to return beyond, the Ebro. It,' is further
added, that Gen. Bourck, having suffered
severely, has retreated lo Valladolid; and
that M. de Marlignac is going-immediate
ly to Paris to give an account of the slate
affairs in Spain.” Other letter* say . that
the number of sick in the Trench army
was increasing to an alarming degree.
The British Government has refused
acknowledge the Regency at Madrid. Mi
Canning, in his answer to the Duke oi
Angouleme'i letter ou this subject, says—
-The King having a minister resident neat
his Catholic Majesty, cannot receive
communication of this description', and 1
therefore rqtum your letter, which I do hot
consider it my duty even to lay before bis
Majesty.” ■ .- •
The British Parliament was prorogued,
the I9lh,tq the 30th July. In the King’s
Speech on this occasion, be regret, that his
efforts to preserve the peace of Eprope
havo been unsuccessful, and atates that lie
continues to reccive.from all foreign paw
ers assurances of their aniicable’disposilion
towards England.
The London Sun of July 21 aayt, “(he
next accounts from Cadiz are 'expected to
announce the liberation of.the King.” . ,
Mordlo bad delivered up Lugo to the
French, The French enteted Villa Fran-
cx'without meeting with an enemy, and is)
they have also taken CordoVa.
It is said in Frcocb papers that two' re
giments under Zayxt had gone over to the
French.
It was reported Gen. Sarsfield had alao
gone over tp the French.
A French despatch Irom the camp be
fore Saint Sebastian says, that Negotiations
have been entered upon, but were broken
off. -The garrison would have given up
the fortress, but wishes to march us with
the honors of war. The commander of '
blockade replied, that be would take p
session of the fortress, sod that the -garris
on should be priaanera,” -
The French bad commenced the I
bard meat oj-Corunna, which wu deft
by Sir R. Wilson, who la said to have
men to oppose 4500. The account* Hum
this place are to the 15th Inly. Itwahpro
t Weired for« r —- r - ■
cavglry by previous law ; certainly this is
new mode of protecting and encourag
ing “ volunteer corps of cavalry,” and one
for which 1 foci assured the members uf
the Clistliam Hussark will not feel grate*
ful. And as a reward for this exemption
of subordination to superiors, and for this
reduction of military service, a further re
ward of perpetual exemption in timet ol
Peace is offered to such as serve ten years
in the cavalry. Let it not however be sup
posed that so moderate a reward for such
important dtttiee was satisfactory to Mr.
Berrien. He knew too well the perils and
privations to which lie was Subjectiog them,
and he modestly asked and claimed a per
petual exemption from road and jury duty,
to all such as shall have served ten yean
in his cavalry. How- like charity is the law
for - it biesselh him that givelh, and him
that receivelh.” Mr. Berrien appears lion-
ever, not to have forgotten an old ntaxim
that power in the hands of a few, can be
more readily controlcd than in the hands ot
many, and he has consequently taken care
to remove from the privates the election ol
their . commander of aquadron. It is but
seldom we find.so much caution in protect
ug ones self from his Iriends. And file
introduction of Such a clause whilst it vio
lates the general tenor of our militia laws,
proclaims in strong language the doubts
which Mr. Uetrien entertained uf tl)e dis
positions of tho body of cavalry in '-the 1st
iivision to place him at their head, but it
was understood that lie could be elected by
the officers, and he therefore placed the
election in their hands. From all the cir
cumalances it appears, that Mr. Berrien’s
main object in introducing the offensive
law, was bis own political aggrandizement,
and that whilst he should be legislating for
you, fellow citizens, he was legislating for
himself and Ins friends. Upon such con.
dticl-I shall make no lurthec comment.—
The (acts arc before you fellow citizens,
and you will judge for yourselves.
The next act of Mr. Berrien which I
shall examine, is, that of his having become
the advocate of the U T S, Bank against our
Banks. Upon this there has been much
activity on the part of Mr. Berrien’s friends
deceive you. Isay on the part,tf hie
friendt, for I cannot think that be has mis
represented his own conduct. It bas been
industriously circulated that Mr. Berrien-
declined lor ten days to give sn answer to
the application of the U S. Bank for the
purpose of permitting the State Banks to
employ him. This is not the fact. Mr.
Berrien' was efigaged by the U. S. Bank
before the demand for specie was made of
the State Bank, and if. he had not been
thus early engaged, be would have been
employed by the latter. The Directort of
both the Stafe Banka were anxious to on.
gage him, and nothing prevented it but J>h>
previous agreement with the V. S. Batik.
From this it is evident, that he not only
became the advocate of the U S Bank,
but be waa also its profeeelonal adviser aa
to the measures - which it should pursue
against the Mate institutions. Now fellow
citizen*; I do contend, and Lthlnk you will
bear me out in the opinion, that a member
off hetegislature cannot consistently with his
Itiends have fully admitted tbeimproprittf
of his conduct. Now, however, with i
wonderful versatility they contend, that ib
Berrien’s object it* embarking in the cicw
of the U. S. Bank, is to coerce the Stau
Banka to resume specie payments. Thu
at one Ume exculpating his conduct, andx
another, applauding It as highly benefietal
to the community. Each statement 3*hov<
ever, equally erroneous. It is known tots
all that one grest cause ol the present pe
cuniary distress of thiscommunity,Soviet
to the exertions making by the Bank* to
resume specie payments in the fall. To
this end, they have required large reduc
tions upon accommodation paper,and hare
almost wholly declined discounting no
paper. The great reduction in value ef
our property, is owing to the scarcity tf
money thus produced. It must bu evident
to every one, that the embarrassment! cf
this community must be in proportion to
the embarrassments of the Stete Banks.
The course produced by the U. S. Bid
is certainly calculated to increase that to-
barrassment. That course must comes!
the State Banks, not only to continue their
reductions, but also force them to dediu
discounting new paper. Such a policy tout
greatly inciease the present scarcity i
uuncy, and in that way further lenen the
value of our property, and if the system
should be persevered in, h' is difficult *
foresee the great extremity to which st
shall aU soon be reduced. But let.it net bt
forgotten that with the increase of out pe
cuniary distress,litigation will also increase,
and whilst the capitalists will get your pn-
peny at one fourth what it cost yoo, then
will be abundant gleamr-gs-for ti-e gentle
men of the law, from the attorney loth)

It seems that many of our leading Fcde-
ralists, have discovered that I am miiitf
