Too 1V0.4 of Brunie poblialias what it calla a serious announcement so the subject of our relations with Epain. Eoglead, that ancient troubler of the nations, inwardly mortilied at seeing the Spanish Government penis< in its expeditioe against the Moon, has onagbt and found a pretext for annoying t►s Cabinet of Madrid. " With a bitterness an " worthy of a great nation, she now claims from " Spain payment for the we:Wisdoms furnished at " the period of the cis.l war in the Poulain'''. The " Spanish Government is inclined to yield, in order " to tots from England all pretence for acts of vie 1' lease; yet, as bed reasons have never been want ° lag to England for getting up a quarrel, there is ▪ mason to fear serious complications, oothwithatand * lag the drain of Spr;a to yield." There is not a word of truth in this elaborate statement. no claims of England upon the Spaniel, Govern ment, far from being an afterthought suggested by the war with the Moon, were urged a year ago, while Lord Maussastrar was at the Foreign-aloe. Since that time the two Governments have been in com munication upon them, and Spain ham admitted a liability of half a million sterling, only some minor sums remaining to be settled. There is thus some prospect that a debt long due is at last about to be paid : but the war with Morocco has certainly had no connexion whatever with the settlement. OWN hundred and nine British man-of-war's men mat t• the county poi foe three months with hard labour. This is the way in which the seamen of the United Kingdom are encouraged to enter her Muse is service, in preference to the desolats liberty of the mercantile marine. At first sight it wear a singular solution of the great problem now occupying all patriotic minds, and taxing the ingenuity of the Government itaslf—how to man the nary ? But these 109 men were found guilty of mutinous behaviour and insubordination ; they are justly punished, and no one who respects law and discipline will impegn the sentence of the court, which. considering the gravity of the charge, wet rather lenient than otherwise. Less than fifty years Be a very different punishment would have been indicted upon the delinquent seamen of H.M.S. Princess Royal. Assuredly it is no balkier of ours, nor have we the slightest inclination, to indulge in maudlin sympathy with misconduct, or to display unwholesome pity for offenders ; we have too much region for law, ashore or afloat, and we set too high a value on discipline, to be ready to make excuses for riot or disorder, under say pretext, or with soy allowance. Nor can even that tilmderness for the tailings of JACK which we freely own, persuade us that wrong is right became it wears a blue jacket. After this declaration, we are at liberty to expel= our full meat to the prevailing opinion that the cam of the seamen who have just been sent to Win chester Gaol is an exceptional one, and that. after a doe and proper vicdieatiou of authority, the prerogative of mercy may well step in without pre judice to the decision of the tribunal, and with great advantage to the national interests. We will even venture to believe that the gallant Asses against whom the convicted men did not rebel would ass without displeasure the deplorable ii.cident which hos marked the close of the Princess Royal's cons- manors blotted out by an act of pardon, and the poor fellows—who, if not moresiamed against than sinning, werecertinaly the victims of the most inexplicablemis andentaading—reetored tat►est evict of their country seder correction eviler than disgrace. The eircum- Maness of this untoward Weir hare doubtless been attentively fo!lowed by oar readers, and we need net repeat them in detail. We have found it impos. able to neaps the conviction that • very serious responsibility lies at the door of the Port-Admiral, who first gave leave to half the crew and then with drew it altogether, when the men were actually at the dock-gaiec This is the consequence, some will say, of putting gallant old gerlesea of the last ceatary into amused at oar naval porta, long after a sew elms of seamen and a new school of amra lave succeeded to the old discipliaanans mpaagwtly described by Captain Sir ADOLPNIIII BUD,.

I and officered, and respectably manned, bursting into violence and disorder in Portsmouth Harbour, and disgracing the service by an exhibition of open mutiny. The Port-Admiral may have had his new»s for keeping the crew of the Princess Royal on board while the ship was preparing to pay offi but what reasons he can have had for baulking "bony men or their run ashore, and harrying them beek as board front the dock-gates, it would be sa tisfactory to an ignorant, but not unjust, British public to be informed. There is no clam or order of shore-going men that we know of who would endure such tricks upon their patience, and such tests of their good behaviour, without murmuring ; and we are not aware that lace, who has been serving four years on a foreign station, and cooped up on board ship for weeks, with the pleasures of the " Point" crowding thick upon his soul, is lam eager to stretch his legs when he has only to jump ashore, or less susceptible of disappointment and vexation if his feelings are unamerearily played with, than the rest of his fellow-creatures. We must say we think the MIMS of the Princess Royal have good ewe to feel hurt at this sudden conversion of seamen into convicts by the nod and beck of a venerable Port-Admiral, who labours ander the disadvantage of not know ing his own mind for five minutes to gether. We don't foe a moment pretend that the seamen who are now lodged in Winchester Oaol eight not to have returned on board ship in the sweetest of temps, the happiest of dispositions, sad the chearfallest of spirits, content at least with blessing the Admiral In sulky silence ; but men will be men, and mailers will be sailors, end after a four red semmissicm Portsmouth is pleasant, and the shore ie sweet. Discipline must be preserved, and disturbanse must be punished, but when authority is satisfied it behoves us to implies whether authority has been discreetly and prudently exercised. When • correspondent of the Deily News," Natitious," writ. lag as • mon-d-war's man, with the experience of twenty jean' sortie% on the difficult question of man aing the envy , pointedly Wed, " What do admirals or past-captains know of the wants or wishes of a • asaman !" we acknowledge we were not prepared to interpret his question in a literal sense. One would suppose that there must be some reciprocity of feeling and some mutual sympathy among all rank s in the service. And so we believe there is nowa days, in tolerably happy ships. Bat between an ad miral of the very old school and ship's companies of modern days the sympathy is evidently imperfect, and the mutual understanding sadly at fault. The mis fortune is, the public fail to perceive that it is idle to offer tempting belts to the better clam of seamen if a well-trained NOW, on the eve of paying off after a long soanieniem, are liable to be driven to desperation by the changefal humour of • Welty Port- Admiral. " Nearly all seamen," writes 'Nasdaq's,' " feel and think differently to what they did Mess "or twenty years sines. It is the small things In a " ship that maim slimy or happiness, and until they " an attended to, and a real interest taken in the " welfare and comfort of the men, the Berries will " never be popular." All the bounties in thewerld will MVO.' fill our ships with anything better thee a pack of tinkers sad tailors, cabmen and poachers, if true seamen are not well treated when we get them. True seamen, it mast be »membered, are no lovers of lax d;eciplize; they do not even like an 0601 r who le not strict and stern in duty ; but they look for rsasooable indulgence at reasonable times; as, for instance, when the ship is alongside the dock yard jetty, fitting out, or paying off, they object to be treated ea if they were " made of different " materials " from their officers, and as if a ship were a prison. It is difficult to exaggerate the bad effects of such a scandal as this of the 12th of last November at Portsmouth. It will rankle in the naiads or a whole generation of enso-of-war's men, and be growled and grumbled over in every ship of every squadron. How can we be surprised that not a twentieth of ear national seamen come from the merchant service, sad that thousands take the first opportunity of leaving the Navy, if, in addition to the smaller but scarcely lees bitter grievances of half allowance of grog, of shrivelled beef and oily pork, of poor diet and bad cookery, of sickening deficiencies in the " doctor's department," of the forted servitude of pensioners, and all the crewels& of complaints which our correspondent "Nauticus" has enumerated—if that worst of all grievances, arbi trary confinement on board after four years' service, is inflamed by • Port-Admiral into disorder and mutiny, and then sent to cool in a common gaol P It is to be hoped that these refractory seamen will at any rate be kept apart from any contact with civil misdemeanants; so that when their term of imprieas mint has expired they may be set free without that feud loss of self-respect which is part of the expiation of civil Grime.

(PION 01111 OWN PARIS, TIIUDAT The Pays, which was yesterday a little in the arrest of events, now announces that not only Eng land, bat Austria, Preens, and Sardinia have sent in adhesion to the Congress. Contrary to an assertion of the Morning Past, sent by telegraph from Lon don this morning, the Pays says that Count de Reekberg, the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, will be the first Austrian plenipotenti►ry t M. de Schleinits will represent Prussia. The Sardinian plenipotentiaries are not yet appointed. A Turin letter of December 4, in the Prom, says that Mancini has published a letter severely criti cising General Fanti. M. Muriel says that in 1848 he was greatly deceived about this officer, who had just than returned from Spain with a military reputation not borne out by fact.; that Fend stands quite apart from the revolution, and is merely the king's general," and that Central Italy cannot reckon upon his being staunch. He is no doubt a friend of Italian independence, and a very honest man. But, adds the letter, he is so bigoted to ideas of military discipline, that if he were ordered to fire upon the people of Central Italy, he would do it without hesitation. It is reported that M. Empie, the ex-inansger of the Theatre Francais, has been appointed Inspector- General of public libraries. The post, which was originally created for M. Romieu, as a consolation for the loss of the direction of the Beaux Arts, has not hitherto been filled up since his death. The upward movement at the Bourse has met with a alight check to-day. There was a vague rumour of an insurrection in Hungary and Venioe, bat other wise there was no political news to affect the market. It is not surprising when we consider that within the last four or five days more business has been done than during the whole month of November, that there should be considerable fluctuations. The Rents closed for cash at 71fr. 10c., with a fall of 260., and at yesterday's price, 71fr. 36e. for account, Mobilier left off without change. Spanish Mobilier fell 2fr. 60e. The Orleans Railway fell Mr. 76e. ; Northern, 6fr. 26c.; Eastern, 7fr. 50c.; and South ern, 7fr.6oc, Lyons and Western lett off without change. The Prom says, in its weekly commercial review : blear the latter end of November basins, has broom a Ittl. moors active. People still hesitate to risk capital to say great extent, but a disposition to nuke spoonistive m ambos is now, at length, observable. Pievinelal agents have made their appearance in Paris this weak to @sleet aseortments the we year's day. Thies is a decidedly hi greased demand for exportation. The last pickets from the United States brought several orders for Paris and Lyons; Gormsny also, which for • long time held aloof, has now resumed her relations with French houses. The principal Ashok to a real revival of business is the high price of most articles. Bow matarials an still very dear, and notwith standing the long dead season which trade has had to go through, the price of the annual labour has risen. Buyer@ still hesitate to pay the prices salted, but as stocks are every where eztremely low, and manufacturers generally aro only working in execution of spedlic orders, they are la a posi tion to make their own terms.
