commented on in the Public Journals, and had a most tappy effect upon the people. The Archbishopric of 1 ,1 3 ;i 0 ,;1, now vacant, and the Prince Bishop of Liam I , s been n ominated by the KING to fill it. This is c onsider d as a death-1)low to Ow refractory prirsts, :11 ,; tb, ry where their conduct, ill..tead of raisin g I ' it. imp , rtance in the eyes of the people, has tended t) Ja i; thrly into a state Of contempt. ,A) a specimen of the means resorted to for placing ov conduct of these men in a proper point of view L e ; 1:.• the people, we suhioin the following remaik, I ,l l ,..l!sfied in olio. el the Junto ils, as an er A LET ILA FAOM PARIS, 1 1., rived with pleasure your promise to give m^ pait , culars of the S.ltings of your Shut:, t;;lieral, which the Journals of this country will n.•t furnish in the way 1 could wish.

His Majesty arn v e d, being preceded by the Pt inces of the Blood, anJ followed by Madame, the Duchess d'Angouleme. In the Chancel were all the Ecclesiastics of Paris.— The Bishop of Chalons officiated. The Archbishop cf Rheims, the venerable head of the clergy, remains faithful to his King, to the Church, and to honour. 'De Bishop of Langres, the Cardinal of Bayane, the B;;hop d'Evreux, M. de Chateaubriand, and the Doke of 11r'glie, were of the number of Peers present. Amongst the Members of the Chamber of R:i•re:entativcs was found the Prince Amcdee de Thoglie, the eldest brother of the Bishop of Gand.— His ilf9rt Ghristian Majesty, the pions I) rughter of 1...:1;s XVI. the Trench, the most distingu.shcd by an invio!able attachment to the religion of their an. cestPrs, the west of the Clergy, were all reunited at tno Ibot of the Afar, to implore the b:nediction of 0: At nr upon the labours of an Assembly w hich swe.irs with its King to maintain with all its rwp, a Coto,titutiomil Charter, which consecrates t.e .iberty f relit i• universal tolerance, and Nu 1 ri3hts, witi:unt dirinction.

" Such are the Ist, sth and 7th Articles of the CI trier granted by LouisXVlll. in 1814 (entitled ' ' i i.e Fut,ii: Rights of Frenchmen'). Ain pct every one present at the ceremmny hal a:•oJy promised to GOD, on the Holy Evangelist:, tO tome, and to cause to be executed, this law; nod ;wey to suffer it to be vielatei, elud..d or abolished. T;i:s sacred engagement they came, in some manner, to renew in the holy plate ; where a Peer of France con- Emil his oath that be would celebrate the mosran rst mysteries cf the Catholic religion . to-day Princes, LT's, and Deputies, will take the oath individually. " At th.s moment I called to mind the pitiable but dan:ertons libels, of whiji you sent me a collection, rill which have excited so many troubles wirh you. tr reface in the sentiments of two people so near to each other, is, indeed, a subject Of cad tefiectir,n.

I shan add but - one word more: the Prelate, the of these ' scam! dons quarrels, is the son and at:.4,• 11 ot illustrions French warriors, of noble d, respected and beloved. His brothers in France swear obedience and fidelity to the same laws which fool;sh mandates have proscribed in your etetintry.— If the Prince de Bitootaz had been a Bishop in his own country, we should have counted him in the number of the Peers of France. Episcopal views and pretensions aside, he is as recommendable by the qua lities of his.heart,. as he is amiable as a man .of the world. His birth. his talents, his elevated mind. his literary acquirements, would have called him to the discharge of the most eminent functions: with you he is, and cannot be, at most, but a Bishop. At Paris he would most probably have voluntarily sworn with us to maintain the Royal Chart r, so heretical in the eyes of the fools, whose impulse he now be lieves it to be his duty to follow. Why does he de. base himself to act the part of their patron f He knows well, although he write: u not eficially, that there is nothing so stupid is the world as Theologiaos of a certain University. He knows also to what ex(ent, suspicion td bad faith and criminal projects aside, many respectable Ecclesiastics, placed under his au thority, lament his errors; they are not all turbulent, ungrateful, intriguing, and incorrigible, as those worthless men who are seized with his spirit, and which drags them Lau an abyss in which there is nothing but shame. " It is to be lame►;ted, that Goo has not always t;iven judgment and vivaLity of imagination, and splendid talents and f►rmne ~ s of character, in 'the same measure; by whicti fatality, he, who in France would be an honourable man, in simply following :he in-ehistible torrent of public opinion, enjoyed . (pally by his venerable lvethren and himself, takes upon bin►self to rule the public opinion in so bad a way with another people, and to speculate on the number of weak and designing minds ready to account him a prothet, and to inlist under his standard. " What , pitiable pride, wh:►t miserable ambition. to desire to be canonized by ignorant and madly pr;;!sts and silly devotees, at the eapene of appearing, in the eyes of the rest of the nation, nothing but a ............... I willinot finish. I am to, much l►u miliated to see a French Gentleman at the head of , uch miserable beings. I wish him no other evil than a Cardinal's hat, or an Archbishopric in France. He would very soon become again far removed from tour of five priests, of whom I have knowledge, that which he ought never to have ceased to be." SPAIN. By a Mail from Coronna, wh;i h arrived this day, we have received accounts from that (0 ACC to the 19th instant. We sub,oin an extract : CORUNNA, OCTOBER 19. The following Proclamation has been addressed to his Majesty I y the Bishop of Orense. in favour of the Officers implicated in Porlier's insurrection : " Tie Bishop of Orense would felr to abuse the royal piety of your Majesty, if it were not via OW, tising above all the many virtues which adorn your M.ijesty, it encourages him to hope every thing from your M.ijesty's paternal and most benign hcArt. The Bishop kno.vs that the crime which has already cost the life ,)f the principal author and some of his com panions in his infamous project, dos not admit any apology, and even excludes every petition ou the part of men. For that reason he presents himself to your Ma jesty's royal piety in tie character of Nlinister of a Crucified Goo, who supplicated to the ETERNAL FATIMIt for tivisa very persons who crucifiA him. This divine clemency of Jesus CIINI3r, our King and our R.de.mer, it is that he pr.mnits to your Majesty, to temper ycrir just indignation, and to obtain their life and a commutation (of pu•iishment) in favour of the Brigadier Dan Ramon Romay and all the ac complices of this so criminal cause. In respect of this unhappy Officer, for whom this letter has been requested of me, by one who serves your Majesty with honour an ti fidelity, what is expressed in it and his intentions may lessen his crimes and as for the ethers, ignorance, ideas of glory ill understood, the p:ecipitation and ardour of youth, dazzled by false light, and erroneous principles, that they were no t wholly gone astray, justice may. without any injury, be tempered and mercy made to tune in full splen dour, and its imitation of the King of Kings, manifest more and more that your Majesty is a just King and full of clemency. _ _ " I must not detain the attention of your Majesty. T. e vole gun seems to be appeased—Gallicia has shewn and proved its fidelity; an exemplary punish ment has been inflicted : let bloody punishments then cease; let your I►lajesty give life to him will gave it for your Majesty ; and as we constantly pray that out trespasses m.ty be forgiven, as we forgive those who trespass against us, we tender ourselves guilty of ►reason to the Divine M.ijesty by disobeying it s and not neglecting to do thus to our enemies.

A long Proehtmat'on has alio been presented, in the name of the Chiefs and Ogieers of the of Proviocial Creaadivs aid of the Infantry :it [►Monterrey. They state, that hum the time of Por lier's unhappy and crimilml attenyt, their Leers have been filed with a des:re to rethess the in my done his Majesty, and at the s:are time r:ith conside rations of the unhappy cod of those who, to their misfortune, have been the instrumcOts of that plan. That confiding in their tried fidelity to his Ma jesty, they venture to appeal to his mercy in favour of those unfortunate men, whose built' they readily acknowledge. r That his Majesty has always acknowledged the services of the army during his captivity, and that perhaps among the armies Of his Majesty those may be considered as having the greatest claim to his Ma ! • lesty's munificence who now groan in prison, on ac count of the attempt of Pot.Ler. That the Petitioners have been, as ancient com rades, witnesses of their valoor and their siifF.aings for his Majesty's glory ; and if this l'etiGoa should not move his Majesty's heart, be would lose the flower of his subaltern Officers, and with them the experience of men who acknowledge their faults and errors, and whose gratitude may one day make them a model of fidelity. That their death would be no addition to the dis. grace they have already suffered, being led about St. Jago us the worst of criminals, thrown into dun- geons, and treated in the same manner at Corunna ; thus suffering dishonour, worse to a soldier than dr:Wt.—That nothing is less worthy of a King than revenge, and nothing more worthy of him than de mestey.—They, therefore, beg him to pardon these persons, in consideration of their former sviviccs and sufferings in his Majesty's cause. Coruuns, °ciao. it, 18!5. A letter frism Burgos, dated October 2d, says, " The Aladrid Gazette announces, that since the ar rest of I'urlier all is tranquil in Galicia. Persons who think themselves well informed assert, howeter, that there is still some fermentation in that province; but it is hoped that it will be appeased in consequence of tl.e disgrace of Escoiquez and Ostalasza, one of wliGm is s..id to be raited to Carthagena, and the other to A licatit. It is with gre.tt satisfaction that the nation sees those two m n removed from the of his Majesty; sea it is gent-tally livlics.3.l that this disgrace is the commencement of a new system, which will be more satisiat;:ory to the wishes at the 'Litho..."

In Galicia the revolution still con tinues t 4,000 have assembled in Trey, crying out for the Constitution, in continuation to the enterpria of Ponuta. They are commanded by a Naval Of ficer of known bravery. Two expresses left Madrid, one atter the other, with orders and cc,unter-orders respecting the fate of Poaur.a. The first was the bearer of ordet s purporting that as soon as the Coun cil of War was ended, whatever was the sentence, 'it should be immediately est euted, without its being ap proved by his NI.t.II6STY Whit!) is equivalent to a death-warrant signed by his own hand. Toe second stated, that his Majesty should be consulted, but this arrived ton late. This must have aris n out of by pocrisy, evil doings, or tear. We have also received letters from Bayonne of the 12th. Several persons had arrived there ftous Co. rulina, as it were; escaping miraculously. It appears that twenty of Kncora's Officers have been ordered to lie shot.—The Spanish army on the French Iron. tiers; is in the greatest distress and even despair. The Officers are starving with hunger, living on only two rations of &calla° (salt codfish). All deeply deplore the unfortunate issue of P IRLIER'S attempt. The following particulars concerning the seizure of the unfortunate General Poetics, at Santiago, were communicated by Captain CASTOR, Commander of the Speedy packet boat, which arrtved at Falmouth, on the 15th instant, from Corunna :—The clergy of Corunnahavinggiven the sum of ten thousand dollars to the Subaltern and Non-commissioned Officers of the troops remaining them, after the depatture of General Poutza, they agreed, for that sum, to seize his person, and bring him back, which they executed in the following manner :—They marched out as if to his aid, and arriving nn the night of the 30th ult. at the house where the General with the Officers of his personal Staff were at supper, the srrj••ants (of the corps) only, drew their swords and ass.ided him; he fought in the room tor some time, but nvtrpnweted by numbers, he delivered up his arms, and was c.►r ried into Corunna a prisoner, throw': into a dungeon, and in three days afterwards hanged! This being the Anniversary of the KING'S accession to the Throne, the Park and Tower Guns were fired one o'clock, agveeable to annual custom. When BONAPARTE subtitled Prussia, after the battle of Jena, he not only drove the Royal Family from Berlin, but seized and sent to Paris every article of plate, furniture, linen, jewels, &c. which they pos sessed.
