The war in Spain is excessieiy severe on the French treasury. Immense sums have been disbursed to cotrupt the people. The duke of Angm.eme made one draft for eleven millions of Francs. It is repeated that the duke df Angoulcme has promised the regency a French fleet and army to hcp Spain to re-conquer Mexico. .S .v. The Spanish Gazette, of the 16ih, contains a decree signed by the kin, which declares the Spanish grandce&i who signed the address to the duke d'AnguuU-me, to be traitors; strips them of all honors, titles, pensions, he. and sequesters all their property of uverv kind. In the third article of the decree, it is asserted that the thirty-one persons in question do not compose the grandeza of Spain, nor the majority of that order, and were without any representative character or authority. The Cadiz gazettes give us satisfactory assurances of the state of things in that city. The cortes were deliberately attending t business, and very industrious. There had been a smart affair with the French the Spaniards forced

their lines "and trampled over their

dead, until the object of the sally was

shewn himself an able soldier, and wonderful for his resources in times of danger and need. There were three days rejoicing at Laguira on account ot these important events. The long desired blessing of peace is now aoout to be enjoyed by our sister republic. May she bear firotfitrity as well as she has borne adversity ! We believe that she will. The severe trials that the people have passed through, have, at once, rooted out their prejudices, taught them the necessity and demonstrated to them the beau

ty of liberal nrincinles. Once settled

down into quietness, her population and means will encrease with amazing rapidity. Her soil, climate and position all

conspire to make her a great nation in a

very short period of time.

Under date "Paris, July 22d," it is stated that the French ministerial papers ot the day preceding had mentioned the sending in a of a flag of truce to Cadiz, requiring the cortes to surrender, and offering them terms, without noticing the result. This silence of the journals was, however, supplied by various reports, and the following is given as the purport of the answer: The cortes will listen to no terms, and will, lor the future, receive no flags of truce, They will all perish rather than sacrifice one atom of their dignity: and if they cannot maintain themselves in Cadiz, they are resolved to embark for America, carrying the king, the royal family, and all the regalia, with them If, when they have done this, they cannot escape the French fleet, they are

Annies and bands of guerillas continually harass the French. It seems to be c needed that the branch cannot take Cadiz, by force. An Englishman, named sir John Downie, appear to have been at the head of the plot to carry off the king from Seville, lie and sixteen other persons were arrested in the midst of their plans, and taken to Cadiz, where it was believed that they would all be shot. MoriUos treason has excited much feeling in Spain, and will do good rather than harm to the cause of liberty. We always suspected this infamous ravager of Colombia. It appears that there are many desertions from the French to the Spaniards. To prevent this, the wretches of the "army of faith" arc kept in constant motion round the French forces, and these are
