The' following letter from Madrid
throws considerable light on the Dolce
d’Angouleme’s journey to Seville, and
also accounts in a very satisfactory man
ner for much which was before obscure
nod unintelligible. 1 lie letter (-“ays the
London .Yes:*) appears to us to bear e-
very mark of authenticity :—•
“ Madrid, Ju'y 2:S.—'The Duka of
Angouleme began Ins march this morn
ing at day light, for Seville and Port St.
Mary’s ; lie takes with linn what re-
nmitfed here of the guard?- and other
troops, in all about 1000 men. Gen. Mo*
Iitor is to j 'in him at Cordova j and on
the. 20ll) of nest mon h it is presumed
they will arrive at Seville.— 1 he Duke
of Keggio remains here with 3t)00 men,
and Gen. Quesada’s division will come
in a* soon a? the men are clothed.
“ The decided object of the D ike’s
journey to the south, is to enter into a
negotiation, if possible, with the peo
ple.of C.adi.4...-Xhc FrejacUurcjiaaipT.
dined to treat upon a liberal basis. Siv
months ago, nothing would do short of a
surrender of the King’s person, and the
dissolution of the Government; offer
ing on their side, merely to guarantee
the lives and property of the Members
of the Cortes (with certain exceptions)
and-, other Liberals; and proposing to
give pensions to such ot them as would
cboose to reside in France. But now,
that the intrigues ami plans ot Russia
have pretty well developed themselves,
the eves of the French Government
have been opened, and its policy to
wards this country lias undergone a visi
ble change.
“ The Duke of Angouleme has bad
little or no influence with the Regency.
“ The Russian Ambassador seems to
direct all their measures and operations,
and it is evident that iie has been doing
every thing in his power since lie came
here, to induce the Regency to act as if
i- were totally independent of the 1 ranch
Government. I know that offers of Rus
sian troops have been made for the pur
pose of re-establishing the absolute mon
archy and the Inquisition.
■ The French begin also to feel that
their forces are inadequate to subdue
the Peninsula ; they dread the resist-
anr« uU.Irt, Gudiv is mo shift ofoflerimr.
and the delays which would ari-c from
attempting to reduce, by mere blockades,
tty» other fortified towns which are in
possession of the Constitutionalists.—
More than nil they fear, that if they con
tinue much longer to be involved with
the Constitutional parly in this country,
t:fey will greatly facilitate the objects
which Russia has in contemplation, and
afford her time to consummate her plans.
These reasons have operated with so
nnich force upon the French Govern
ment, that it has been resolved, 1 am
told, to request England to step in as an
arbitrator between tbe Duke of Angou
leme and the Cortes ; and it is conti lent
il- believed that an arrangement will take
plyice as soon a? the Duke ot Angouleme
a, rives before Cadiz.
“ I imagine, however, that his Royal
Highness will first see what he can do
without the interposition of Great Bu-
tain. lie is sanguine enough to believe
that the Government nf the Cortes will
have confidence in his own offers, and in
the promises which heijwill make thorn.
You may rest assured that Iih Royal
Highness will find himself disappointed
in this respect. The people of Cadiz
must have some other guarantees if they
treat at all ; they must have the guaran
tee of England, and they will negneiale
only through tier mediation, when the
time for such a transaction shall arrive.
“ The a; rangetnenls w hich are likely
to be entered into are the following .—
Art Upper Chamber, or rattier perhaps
u Senate, after the plan of America ;
the King to have an absolute veto, and
the 92d Article of the Constitution.LoJig.
pa=sed inio a law. The '>Article
you are aware, refers to a qualification
in property to entitle persons to become
candidates Ibr a seat in the Legislature,
but as the constitution now stands it is
suspended as to its effects.
11 If more than these concessions he
demanded, or even if these he not nego-
mated for through the interposition of
England, they will he demanded in vain,
and every attempt at negotiation will b"
fruitless until Cadiz is reduced to the
last extiomity either by famine, or bom
bardment from the sea.”
THE LATE LORO t.WSTLF.r.EAGU
Lord Byron. in his preface to the
Continuation of Don Jnan, thus speaks
of the late Minister of-Great Britain.
*• That he was an amiable man in pri
vate life, may or may not be true ; but
with (bis tbe public bare nothing to do ;
and as to him nting his death, it will be
time enough when Ireland has ceased to
mourn for liia birth. As a Minister, !,
f,r one of millions, looked upon him as
ihe most despotic in intention and the
weakest in intellect that ever tyrannized
over a country. It is the first time in
deed sinco (tie Normans, that England
has been insulted hv a Minister (at l< ;nt)

serve as soma consolation to the nations,
that their oppressors are not happy,
and in some instances judge so justly ol
their own actions as to anticipate the
sentence of mankind. Let us heat
no more of this man ; and let Ireland re

Of LordC’s. successor, Sir. Canning,,
Byron remarks :
“ Canning is a genius, almost an uni
versal one, an orator, a wit, a poet, a
statesman ; and no man nf talent can
long pursue I tie path of bis l ate prede

told that lie could not he admitted to see the
King, to transact any business or carry on

pointed on the prorogation of that body.—
It was, of course, iri his former capacity that

The following is from Cadiz:
Cadiz, July CL—This morning arrived
at the entrance of our port, the American
frigate Congress, which brings mil the new
Minister Plenipotentiary, [Mr. Nelson,] of
that nation to our government—hut, being
denied an entrance by the French blockad
ing squadron, they were otiliged to alter
their course towards the- Straits, (cl Estrc-
eho.) A short lime after, a vessel sailed
from this Bay, under tho American flag, it
which went the Charge d’Afisirs f Mr. Ap
ph too] of that nation, who resides in tliis
place, and having reached the Admiral’s
ship, for the purpose of being informed
what motives led him not to permit the en
trance of the frigate, was simply answered
that the frigate had gone to Gibraltar. This
conduct nf the French Admiral appears to
os so much the more strange, as only a few
days ago lie permitted a Portuguese vessel
of war to enter the port, which brought on
hoard the* Minister Plenipotentiary of that
nation. Posterior to this, wo have also
seen an English frigate ni rive in port. What,
then, could have been the cause of this odi
ousexception towards the American frigate?
It can be, doubtless, nothing el.-e hut that the
American government is not a monarchy.

By tlie new British ship Balia llookh, Capt.
Stewart, which arrived yesterday in the tin-
paralleled short passage of 23 days from L
verpool, we have received our tiles of Lon

to the 7th, and Lloyd’s lasts to the Oth.
The difference's between the ultra royal
ists and the Duke d’Angoub-me seem to in
crease. By a decree issued by the Duke
from Aridujar he has almost suspended tin-
Itegem-y at Madrid. The latier appears to
act u ilh pressing und alarming iulcmpei aui e,
and to give more trouble to the French than i
the arms of ihe Constitutionalists.
Negoeiations were going un at Cadiz, the
result of which was uncertain. An answer
from Ferdinand to Aogouiem • is published,
but its genuineness is doubted in London.
A grand attack upon Cadiz is menaced by

breaks out. it is nul likely tola- sarei-.;-;fa!.

Ferdinand to the communication of the Duke
d’Angouh-me, has been looked fur here willi
great anxiety. It appears that this answer
destroys all hope of arrangement. ' Il was
given on the 23d, the l ist day of the term
granted by his Royal Highness, and it is said,
is couched in very strong language. The
King who wrote it with his own hand, de
clarer, if we nre accurately informed,
" 1. That he has never ceased to enjoy
personal liberty until tlie period of the i n
trance of the French troops into Spain.
“ 2. That the blood which lias been shed
in this unjust war, will recoil upon the head I
of Louis Will, and all Frenchmen.
*• .3. That lin y are responsible before God
for all tlie evils that may happen either to
Ferdinand or his family.
“ -I. That the King relies confidently, upon
tile intervention of England.
“ This answer was to be communicated'
to all the Ambassadors.”
Vigorous proceedings are in consequence
in progress towards subduing tho place.—

London, Sept. S.
The Paris papers of Tuesday, and the E-
toile of Tuesday evening, have reached us
but there ii no intelligence in them of much
moment. There seems to tie a pause in the
march of events, which is tilled op hy mutu
al preparation for some great lif-nt. it i-
no longer doubtful tint 1 lie propositions

ry to tlie 23th August, three d.tv* beyond
the period granted for deliberation, and these
accounts desciihe only the increased activi

ing carried on. It is now said that the 28th
was to lie the day for making the. attack
and that upwards of a thousand cannon, of
the army and tmy, will lie opened at < no

■ amission ot the besieger* them*elves, dial
they experience no ineon-ideralde danger
