We have . not, 'however, yet Ewe know the Editor will not overlook this wordy '-we have not yet convinced him that he is in error: if we had, he says, (and upon our honour we believe him,) he would avow it. We ask no more ; and we are satisfied for the pre '...sent with what he has conceded in his concluding paragraph on this most interesting question, when (alluding to our recommendation to other Parishes to follow the example of the Vestry at Hinckley, by levying a rate to support those who may refuse to work under adequate prices) he says—e , With this mode of relief we are inclined to agree, and we rea dily acknowledge the humane and candid spirit in' which our contemporary has treated this melancholy • subject," Though The St.er and The Herald have not yet come into the sane views respecting all the bearings of this question, we cannot withhold the same acknowledgment from our opponent ; and if the question shall continue to be argued with the same temper, the result cannot be otherwise than beneficial to the best interests of the community.— We must, however, without waiting for a future day, put our contemporary right as to our quotation from SMITH. His words are not 4 , A man should," but A man MUST' always live by his work, and his wages must be at least sufficient to maintain him. They MUST even, upon most occasions, be somewhat more; otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not )Ist beyond the first generation." (See Vol.l, p. 102, 9th Edition ; or page 110 of BUCHANAN'S Edition, Edin. 1817.) We were therefore correct in our state ment that some Economists.-who pretend to quote as axioms, particular sentences 'of SNITHi have not done justice to his system. -They ought to exhibit his doctrine entire—not garbled. We have also to congratulate the Public on the at tention of another respectable contemporary (The Morning Chronicle) having been drawn to this most important subject. It is true we have, for the Pre sent, to rank this Paper among ow opponents on this question ; but no matter, while it shall continue to' be discussed with the same candour and temper that pervades the article exhibited in that Paper this morning. The arguments which this contemporary' advances are precisdy those that have but too long been implicitly received, without due examination, of the:propriety of allowing the price of labour to find its, own level; by which they mean, however, when the statement is fully analysed, that no efforts should be employed by the community, to prevent any artificial depression . of wages below their proper level. 'This is the real question to be discussed; nor will ive lose sight of it—and we are satisfied that the calm examination which it seems now beginning; to receive, will, eventuallY,-bring to thcrelief of the oppressed workmen, the entice intellect of the Public Press, which, whatever ignorant or selfish indivi duals may assert, is ever-, decidedly friendly to : he calls of Truth and Justice. • . - The Paris Pairs of Wednesday arrived this fore noon.—The Km°, although said to be recovered from his late attack of the gout, is still confined to his chAmbers at St. Cloud.—Five per Cents. Tuesday, 71 fr.so c. " In the general dearth, (says our Private Corres pondent), of news, the intelligence that apricots are sold in the Paris market at sixteen a-penny, is as in teresting as any other." A Flanders Mail arrived at a late hour this fore noon, with Papers to the 4th instant.—They are filled' with a long defence of the conduct of the KING OF PRUSSIA towards Colonel MASSENBACII, of which it is enough to say, that it does not contain one word in defence of the principal feature of this discredit able transaction, namely, that Colonel M. was seized by certain military emissaries of the KING or Pays sin, while resident within the territory of a State over which that Sovereign had no jurisdiction— namely, the Free City of Frankfort, and carried by force of arms out of that territory. Had the Autho rities of Frankfort acted with as independent a spirit' as those of Bonn have recently done in the case of Profess Ors ARNDT and the two WALKERS, Colonel MAssENßAcit would not now have been doomed to languish out his life in a Prussian dungeon. We have received Boston Papers of a date one day later than those last announced. Captain IlowAnn, arrived at Eastport from T nadad, rrports that, just before he sailed four Eng lish ships had arrived in the Gulf of Paria full of English troops; hound to Angustnra, for the purpose of assisting the Revolutionists. It is said to be beyond a doubt, that in all from 3000 to 4000 troops have arrived from England. The Havanna Papers received at Boston, mention, that ;a convoy had arrived at Vera Cruz from Mexico, with four millions and a half of dollars, and an im j mcnse quantity of produce. We subjoin an interesting comfnunication respect ing the recent transactions in Spain, extracted from a private letter received from Bilboa (capital of Bis cay). dated July 2'2: The proceedings against Don Onis, M. Pizarro, and M. Casa Irujo, appear principally to 'have a re ference to the Treaty for the cession of the Floridas, in which these diplomatists are said to have exceeded the will of the King. The enemies of these Ministers are endeavouring to give to this fault the colour of t reason. 'By the cession of the Floridas,' say they, the party secretly favourable to the Insurgents, had in view to give offence to England, and force her to acknowledge the Governments of Buetkos . Ayres and Chili.' This accusation is doubtless too severe ; but if the Ministers have acted without orders or even against the orders of the King, we should not be astonished at the rigorous measures taken ; against them by a Sovereign who sees himself surrounded on all hands with hidden obstacles and secret intrigues. " There has been found at Cadiz at the house of a merchant who has been arrested, some letters from London, which announced beforehand the conspiracy which was on the point of bursting out among the troops of the Expedition. It is also known that the English at Gibraltar received by express from Cadiz most exaggerated accounts of the symptoms of that insurrection ; already, according to these accounts , the coops were in full march upon Madrid. At the same time we see England shutting her eyes upon the grand armament of General Devereux and the embarkments of Colonel Macirone. It appears that Count Adisbal has discovered manifest traces of fo reign intrigues. This General having seen that he could not reckon on the disposition of either the troops or their Officers, watched for some time the movements of the disaffected, and even feigned to enter into their views. " When he had collected all the information which he desired, there was observed towards the 7th of July a particular stir in the citadel and among the troops: more than 100 Officers were arrested during the night, and these Chiefs being conducted to a place of sure custody, it was very tasy for the General to disarm and disband several. Regiments against which he had suspicions. But these Corps have already been re organized ; the number of soldiers who had taken share in the plot was extremely small. . " The departure of the Expedition only waits the arrival of news from America. If the Republic of Buenos-Ayres continues to be distracted by parties, the Expedition will probably go to the succour of Morillo, who maintains his ground so gloriously in the face of all the Insurgent Bands, of which the Isle of Margaretta or Angostura is the rendezvous. The somewhat more regular Army assembled by Mac gregor, Macirone, and Devereux, menaces the coasts of Venezuela and New Grenada. How can Morillo, with all his talent and his indefatigable courage, de fend a territory so extended against so many simul taneous attacks ? " An arrangement is spOlen of between Spain and Portugal, which will greatly facilitate the adminis tration of the Spanish Colonies. Spain is to cede the Provinces upon the East bank of the Plata to the Kingdom of Brazil, which is in exchange to cede to Spain the Government of Rio Negro and all the countries situated to the West of the River Madeira and to the North of the River Amazon. The navi gation on the Plata and the Amazon will be common to the two nations. Spain will establish at the mouth of the Amazon a commercial and military port, which will supersede Buenos Ayres, and serve as a point of communication with Peru. " They can go in three months from Lima to Ca diz, by the river Amazon. It is true that Spain, by this exchange, would lose some thousands of subjects, and only gain an immense uncultivated territory ; but it would be amply indemnified by the facility and promptitude given to its communications with Lima, that central 'city so distinguished for its. un shaken fidelity. A more direct communication would also be gained with Quito, where the Royal authority, for these eight years past has never been disputed." t, 1 .t 1 NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Vestprday morning the LORD CIIANCELLOR, ,count SIDNIOUTLI, and the VICE-CHANCELLOR, had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the PRINCE REGENT left Carlton House for Brighton. Her Royal Highness the Pim:cm or WALES is, now on her way to this country. Mr. SioAnv, her Steward at Kensington, received a letter from her Royal Highness, dated Pesaro, July 2, stating her intention to leave that place on the 4th, and directing him to send any letters which he might feel it ne cessary to address to her, to her Banker, Mr. Courrs, who knew where to forward them. Within this week, Mr. Sr. LEOER, the Vice-Chamberlain of her Royal Highness, has received a letter from her, sta ting, that she is cn her route to London, where she expects to arrive early in September, and desiring him to apprise Miss GARTII of her intention. The news of the result of the Wiltshire Election was received at TrowbriJge without the slightest manifestation of tumult ; the Bath and Frome lroop's of Cavalry have already quitted the town, but it, ltas been deemed necessary to retain the Rifle Corps till Monday, in consequence of the Fair being held the three latter days of this week. The conduct of the Military, during their services at Trowbridge, has been such as to excite the admiration and gratitude of all the peaceable inhabitants of the place. Mu• WALTER SCOTT.—We have the most sincere pleasure in stating, that this distinguished Poet and excellent man is rapidly recovering his health, after an attack, which though never attended with im mediate danger, was at one time a source of painful suffering to himself, and of consequent anxiety to his numerous friends. Sr. II ELENA.—Extract of a letter, dated May 20 : " The Governor has been very busy lately at Long wood, superintending the placing of the iron palisa does, which he has brought up to surround the new house building for BONAPARTE. About 500 men of the regiment are employed daily, at a shilling per diem each, in carrying stones and other materials for cbmpleting it. The duty is very severe, as the men who are relieved from guard in the morning are obli ged to go on working parties immediately after their return to Deadwood, and those who mount guard in the evening' are obliged to work until four o'clock ; it is thought that it will be finished in eight or nine months. So little is known of BONAPARTE, that the Authorities here have no other mode of ascertaining either his actual presence, or state of health, than by the reports of some persons who obtain a casual glimpse of him at his window, or sitting on the steps' of the billiard-room. Whenever any person sees him, even through a:telescope, he is obliged to, re port the circumstance.—The 20th Regiment are at -Finneis Plain, and are not yet allowed to mount guard at Longwood, as the Governor does not wish that the prisoner should have any communication with persons lately arrived from Europe.—Madame BERTRAND is well, but very seldom comes into camp now, as the Governor sent word to Colonel DoJoIN to have her watched and followed wherever she went to. Mr. BAXTER, the Governor's body physician, who has been ill for a long time; has been sent home, it is supposed with dispatches. The prohibition against the introduction of newspapers into the Island is as rigidly enforced as ever it was, and I have only seen two for the last four months 1" THE DICTURBED PROJECTED MANCHESTER MEETING.
