FRANKFORT, July £3.——It is generally said,
in our political circles, that the present situa-,
tion of the Peninsula will give rise to ajietv
European Congress, to be held at Vienna in
the month of October next. It is also added
that not only the Powers of the first rank, but
likewise those of the second and third, will
assist the approaching Congress. The object
of this general assembly will be to fortii into
Stattttes, the great inaxims ofthe Holy Alli-
ance, giving them the form ofa code, which
will be recognised by all the States, as estab-
lishing the public rights of all nations.

Ballastcros ; that on the 927th Grenada was oc-
ctipied ; and that on the ‘.’8th, Gen. Ivloliter
completely defeated Campillo. On this sate-
ment the Pilote pbservcs. that the same oili-
cial Journal announces that Ballasteros was
oti the 20th at Jaeii, surrounded on all sides :
then how can it be possible that he was on the

from Jaen, and defeated by Gen. lilolitcr ?—
\Ve also read, that on the 28th Gcn. Moliter
completely defeated Canipillo—this is a man-

‘We received last night :1 Madrid Gazette of
the 29th tilt. the contents of which are of
lunch importance. The French coinniander
has at length been forced by the condtict of
his Spanish auxiliaries, upon a measure which
goes at once to simplify the cliaracter ofthe
war, and direct to its proper aim the patriotic
feeling ofevery natural born Spaniard. We
allude to a ‘ general order’ published at Mad-
rid at the moiiieiit of the Duke d’Aiigoiilenie’s
departure, which is in fact a iiiilit.ary seizure
of the whole of Spain by the French troops:
and an utter subversion of every shadow of
authority placed hithc-rto in the hands of
Spanish subjects. Here then, it is no longer
Ultra against Liberal, or servilian against the
constitution——it is France against Spain, as
-it was twelve years ago, in the time of Napo-
leon Bonaparte. The Spaiiisli monarchy is
now parcelled out among six lieutenants ofa
foreign invader. All Spanish ftinctionaries
are bound to obey their comuiatids. The su-
preiiiacyofFraiice is declared even over those
provinces in which her soldiers have not a foot
of ground on which to repose tlieiiiselves—
and the language of an universal coiiqucror
employed before a conquest has been any

Tlle'C0llollllltl0llI1llSlS appear to be in force
near Madrid. On the evening of the 30th Ju-
ly the garrison of Madrid were alarmed by
the app(‘.al'l'tl‘l‘CC, near the gates ofthe city, of
a body of constitutional troops. The French
and Royalists beat to arms, a.iid the Consti-
tutionalists retired. This circumstance will
serve to show how far the people of Spain are
from being conquered by the foreign troops
which have overrun the country.
The Paris Constitutionnel contains an arti-
cle dated Pcrpignan, July Slst, giving an ac-
count of an afiiiir which occurred on the 25th,
in which the French had the worst of it, los-
ing many officers and men. French accounts
say,thatthe garrison of Barcelonais constant-
ly making sorties, Wlll(‘.ll annoys their troops

the service is very hard and occasions much
sickness. They will ])l'.')l)ill}ly find the _ser- .

complisl-ted.
It is said that Marshal liloucey, dishearten-
ed at tlie'little' success which has atteiidcd all
his efforts, has written home to express his
anxiety to retire from the contest. , /
It was reported on ’Change, in Paris, on the

clares that “ the decided objectoftlie Duke's
journey to the South, was to enter into a ne-
gociatiou, if possible, with the people ofCa-

treat on a liberal basis.” The letter adds-—
“ The Russian ambassador seems to direct all
dent that he has been doing every thing in his
power since he came here to induce the Re-
gency to act as if it were totally independent
of the Frencli government.”
The Paris Moniteur of the 3d of August
giving an account of an action which lasted
upwards of three hours, between ,a part of his
army and a column under Gen. Milans. Ac-
cording to this account the Spaniards were
driven from their position, after an obdtirate
defence. “ It is aftirmed that his loss is pret-
ty consid_erable, and that he had many wound-
ed.” The French, however, have been tortu-
nate as usual, for in this hard fight off} hours
they had only FIVE killed.
The letters from Corunna dated the 20th
of.luly, state that the garrison and inliabit-
ants were in excellent spirits and lull of eti-

there was no want of provisions—tbat the

the besieged had only four killed and fifty-
two wounded. On the other liaiitl, the Paris
Ministerial Journals of the 4th August, con-
tain accounts, dated 18th July, from French
ofi‘icei"s before Coruiina, who claim “ a coni-

the purpose of putting an end to the civil war
existing in Spain, preteiitling that‘England

Fires in .Mui'ne.—Since the first settlement
ofVVisc-asset, its inhabitants have never wit-
nessed a scene so truly awful in appearence
or calamity so destructive in its consequences
as the great fire last Tlitirsday. About 40’-
clock P. M. we were alarmed by information
that the woods in the west part of this town
were on fire, and the flames rapidly approach-
ing otir dwellings.-—-Tlie scene of destruction
from which‘ the alarm proceeded, was iiealy 3
miles west oftliis village. The gale, which
had been blowing from that direction, had now
increased by the intense heat, to the violence
ofa liurricane, bearing along willi it clouds of
smoke anti dust, that defied the rapid approach
of aid. Our case was different frotn the most
destructive fire in a city, where the unhappy
sufferer may generally secure his retreat and
find a welco-.iie asylniii in the dwellings of
the opulent. But here retreat in most instan-
(res was highly dangerous, in some, impossible.
One elderly female was burnt to death in the
atteinpt—aiiotlier, under circumstances where
female delicacy would conceal apprehension,
saved herself by dccending a well, into which
she had previously thrown a chest and bed,
atid from the top of which she had cleared the
coinbustibles which surrounded it. A lad,we
since learn, was killed in attempting to leap a
fence. Some who had humanely gone to the
reliefoftlieir neighbours a short time before,
returned but to view the. ashes of their own
dwellings under the painful appreliension that
their families might be buried under the smo-
king rtiins. It was an appeal to the most ob-
durate heart, to see the frantick mother with
her alfriglited children, running to and fro
through a burning forest, witliont a prospectof
retreat or hope of refuge. Such was this fire,
which in the short space of two hours, leveled
with the ground buildings, trees and fences to
the extent of seven miles in length, and three
in breadth. It might well be termed a flaming
wliirlwintl, spreading before it dismay and de-
spair, and leaving behind it nothing but the
last consolation ofthe wretclied—-the safety of
their own lives. While describing our own
distresses, we are not tiiiniidftil of‘ otir neigh-
boring town-——Alna, where the fire, we are iii-
foriiied, desolated a space ofiiearly 3 miles in
length, and 2m breadth, and was attended
with all the afflicting circumstances we have
described above. '
