PAIiIS, MAY 22 TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. Copy of a Telegraphic Dispatch from the Major- eneral to the Minister of IVui, dated Bocequillus, May 18. 44 The head-quarters arrived here yes- terday. The van-guard of the corps of reserve is to-day at Boitrago; The detachments which Ahisbalhad in Irolit of Madrid, have fallen back on that city. The illonrtmr- tontaitts various details from the corps of the army, which de- scribes them as making unresisted pro- c'gres info the interior of .spain, and as being receivr-d by the inhabitants with enthusiasm, the Royalist authorities be- ing reinstated in their functions. Bal- lnsteros was said to be retreating on Valencia, and his sotdiers:graduat!y de- serting hi'lI, so that the General had lost all confidellceill them. Mina was be- lieved to be retiring from Barcelona. The French having found it necessary to give further protection to the commu- .iitcatioiis along I hegrealroadfrom 1 run to Vittoria, have withdrawn part of the force enipioyed in the blockade of St. Sebastian. That place and Pampelona do not appear to be besieged. The Spanish Guerillas are now begin- ning to be so active, that aa order of the day has been published from Angouleme's quarters, forbidding the soldiers to strag- gle, and ordering strong escorts to all Convovs Acconpts from Seville to the 6th May State, that the Government has addressed a circular to all the military commanders y of the 9th and lO'i¡ districts, to hasten the execution of all the measures of arm. ing and equipping the new levies. The Dutch papers contain an article from St. Petersburg of the 28th ult. which, if true, is of considerable import- ance. In reference to the rumour of Russian troops beinij sent to the Soutli of Europe, it state.. that the Court of Petersburgh had at first resolved til. place a considerable army at the disposal of the French Government, and that evell such intention had been communicated to the French Ministry; but that all this had been given up, in consequence of a declaration from Sir Charles Bagot, the English Ambassador, stating- that the neutrality 01 Great Britain in the war be- tween Russia and Spain was conditional, and would continue only so-long as the other Powers of Europe should take no part in this war." It is added, that the Court of Vienna. had also presented a friendly note breathing the same spirit." A letter ot the 5th inst. from St. Pe* tershurgh say,, A reduction pf the army is talked of, instead of aajtugfl^ntatinit, which looks peaceable." A Brussels paper stater. ,-Lord Straugford has addressed'a memorial to, the Turkish Government, developing the fatal consequences of continuing the war with the Greeks, and recommending an arrangement by which the Greeks of the islands of the Morea, of Attica, and Li- vadia should govern themselves, and an- nually pay to the Porte a sum equal to the revenue which it has hitherto derived from these provinces. The Porte, how. ever, seems inclined to try oiice more the chances of war, and they are making great preparations for that purpose. A letter was posted at Lloyd's Thurs. day, dated Zante, on the 14th of April, which advises the arrival there of a ves- sel from the Levant, the Master of which reported, that the Turkish fleet, consist- ing of 50 vessels, had arrived at Tenedos, and that 30 ships, of different dpscrip. tions, were farther expected to the Faithful in subjecting the Greeks. TRIESTE, MAY 9.—.We have accounts from the Morea to the 2<5th of April — They state that the functions of the Pro- visional Government of Greece have ceased, and (hat a Congress has assumed the reins of Government. After the in- ptallalioij of it, which took place at Napoli di Romani, Maurocordato was elected President of the Council, in the midst of the acclamations of the peopfce. Coloco- trone has been charged by the CongresN with the defence of the Morea Odysseus has been appointed Commandant-General of Thessaly, Bdzza ris, l?pirus,&! A earnania.

A rally followed, ;¡rler(}lne scientific parries on both sides, and it Neire had astwdow of chance in the figtt, it was in this round.— Sprtn, retreated again to the comer of the ring, llir rhe purpose of unmuzzling again.

By twelve o'clock about 500 persons were a,svembled chiefly Ladies, which had a most charming effect. Lord Dynevor, supported by Lord Kenyon and Sir Watkin Williams Wynn,* took the Chair, and opened the business of the day, by catling on Mr. Parry to declare the objects and views of the Cyminrodorion, > r Royal Cambrian Institution, which he briefly did, by staling that an historical review of an Eisieddvod was published in the Book of Proceedings, toother with much other interesting matter, relative to Cambrian Litera- ture. Mr. Griffith Jones, was then called upon to state in the Welsh l'»nguii £ e what liad fallen from Mr. Parry, See. &• which he did.in a very animated manner, and was highly applauded* A Concert of vocal and .instrumental piusic was performed, when Miss Wil(iatu8,.Jiayers Smith, Parry, and Longjinrst, Messrs.

The Pmnilliul1 Singers were introduced, and they entertained the company with their very ex traordiuary and characteristic peifortnance.

Tbe various parts, however, were collected, and at the re- quest of Lord Carringfon, conveyed to his house lor inspection. The jaw-bones of the skeleton were very laree, atid the teeth all white, and in the most perfect state. The thigh bones were of immoderate size, and judging from them, the individual was supposed to have been upwards of seven feet in I,i,etght.

So much iufereqt was excited by the circum- stance, that crowds of persons assembled liound the spot, and what adds to the peculiarity of the discovery is, that about 3 weeks ago, 4 skolj?tons of a similar description were found neat the same spot.
