• ~: dpposed the war yet to learn the benefits thence using ? The revolution annihilated in Spain, an (with it a Con stitutional Army of 75400 men, which had . introduced' it, and which defended it ; the Spanish nation (a nation of Royalists and Christians) delivered from the yoke of a military insurrection; the army reforming itself on new bases ; the fortresses of the kingdom and Cadiz, where the revolution had its birth, confided to French men, who will know how to defend them from attacks like those made on Tarifa, if these should be renewed ; Spain, forgetting for ever, through our late-glorious in tervention, a former criminal invasion; in fine, the Royal Family and the Clergy snatched from their jailers and executioners : this as what France has done is what our army and its Generalissimo have ac. complished since they croised the Ebto. 44 How different the result if the Minister bad fol lowed the inspirations of Andujar Supreme media tors between parties who were disarmed, you would' have made both of them feel the benefits of 1 neces sary guardianship. In protecting existing establish ments, who would have turned their thoughts from chimerical cnnstitutionc." _ _ _ What, is it you, who before the war were so loud against intervention, who now give us such counsel? You cite to us the ordonnance of Andujar but you forget that when the Prince Generalissimo issued that ordonnance, the King of Spain was still a prisoner n Cadiz. The Prince exercised then all the authority which re sulted from his position, and from the glorious end which he proposed to himself, and he bad grounds to fear that the safety of his army might be compromised.l But on the Ist of October, King Ferdinand was free; and the Duke d'Angouleme was no more than the Ge neralissimo of the Allied Army—of a King who was • his telation. What would you wish that the King's Go. %Trams* should hays done?—that it should have in terpord between the Spaniards and their King, between Spaniards and Spaniards, and that it should have re established the Cortes par estantentost But, once more, we say this would be, to govern Spain though the King were free. Besides, do you think the Spaniard; would suffer such a mediation ? Was it with such projects that we entered Spain? Was it with 415,000 men le f t iu Spain that we could accomplish such designs? Open the history of Spain, and you will learn to know that nation, always so jr.ilous of its independence—always so distinguished for defending it. You are alarmed after the war, but , you were also alarmed before it. Your predictions now, ss ill prove as vain as they were then. The Constitulionnel speaks more ingenuously than you. It does not trouble itself about the safety of the Spanish Royal Family, but for the oppressed,. " who breathe but under the shadow of the protection of our min'', and who will see it retire with fear." To this we have but one word to answer: it was against the Liberals, and not for them, that our army entered Spain. As to the influence of the Cabinet of London, the re. cent events in Portugal, which the Constitutionnel cites as. an example to the French Government, everybody, knows dur4se English had not even an Ambassador in Portugal then ; and it would be to shut our eyes to evi dence, not to recognize with aU Europe, that the influ _mice *WO prevailed on this occasion was wholly exer cised by Prance, and that by her policy she has re-esta blished the Royal authority in Portugal, as she had pre. vicusly done by her arms in Spain. PERU. A mail is an iced from Brazil, bringing letters from Rio de Janeiro to the 19th of September. The packet had been detained about a fortnight, in consequence of the absence of the Emperor on a visit iota the interior, but brings no political intelligence relative to Brad. A Spanish Officer had arrived at Rio de Janeiro, who left Arequipa, in Peru, on- the 9th of July, at which date, though nearly a month later than the last ac counts from the same quarter, no tidings had been gained of the arrival of the Spanish ships Asia and Achilles in the Pacific. The reports of this Officer on the situation of Peru are not more recent, but con fi all which was stated in the last papers from Buenos Ayres. On the subject of the retreat of Olaneta from Potosi,_ it is stated that all the ecclesiastics and the principal inhabitants attended him to Tarifa on that occasion. Valdes, who was pursuing him, was de serted by his troops in such numbers, that it was not ex pected he would have men enough left, when he came up, to make in attack on Olaneta. The regiment, of Gerona had had its ranks thinned in one night by the de settioa of 300 men, and nearly the same had occurred in the other corps of Valdsz's army. Of La Serna, who, by the last accounts from Arequipa. was on the point of abandoning the cause and embarking for Europe, no mention is made ; but the contest between Valdez and Olaneta in Upper Peru is represented as an event en tirely fatal to Canterac, who, when last heard of, which was the 22d of June, was at Hoancayo, in the Valley ot Jauja, waiting the advance of Bolivar. It was fully erpected the Spanish General would retreat, being ut terly unable, in point of force, to contend with Bolivar's artily. His reinforcements. which were to have been sent on to him by Valdez, having failed him, his whole plan of operations was frustrated, and he co uld neither Tone to attack nor to defend with advantage. The troops of Canterac and Valdez were on half-pay only, while those of Bolivar and ot Olaneta were receiving dull pay. At Callao two conspiracies had occurred in favour of the Patriots, the last of which was discovered under the seal of confession, and 80 of those concerned in it were shot. "In the third," says the writer of a . letter from the place, " we shall be more cautious, and less religious." Dispatches have ben received by the Brazilian Com missioners, which are said In be of considerable ins portance as regards the pending discussion with Por tugal. We cannot but cherish hopes that the nego. ciations thus carried on will end in some arrangement equally beneficial to Portugal and to Brazil—a result which cannot but be advantageous to Great Brisaim We have received advices from Havannah to the sth ukimo. 137 these we learn, that the widow of ITIURBIDI had bop tarried to Louisiana, from Mexico, in the American :chanter United States, which vessel had since arrived at the Havannah. The Exports of sugar and 'coffee from Havannab, from the Ist ofJa unary, to the 34 of September last, consisted of 203,615 cajas of sugar, and 525,640 arobas of coffee -976 vessels entered - Havannah durin the same period, viz.-. 176 Sp an i s h, 714 %Rik% 48 'Spanish vessels of war, and 59 foreign vessels of war.

This morning we received the Afoniteur and Onlig meet Messenger, of Tuesday ; but they contain ritl in telligence of importance. The Minister at War ttans acted business with the KING on Monday. Theaccoants from Spain state, that the fears of a contagious malady in the environs of St. Sebastian have vanished. •An article from Smyrna states, that CoLocoraosi is restored to favour, and has the command of 40,000 men, with which he will attack Patras.

It is stated, in a private letter from Madrid, that a plot-for forming bands of Constitutionalists had been discovered. • Private letters from Paris state, that the French troops will commence the evacuation of Spain on the 20th inst. 'nth morning we received a Lisbon Mail, bringing Gazettes to the 31st ult. Their contents are very im portant. It appears that a new attempt at revolution' has been made by the partizans tzf the Qualm and Don Ml6O/LL. The plot was discovered: on the 25th ultimo; the troops of the gartison, and the Royal Guards of the Police were called out, and several persons were ar rested: their names and rank are not mentioned, but they appear to belong to the army. They are described as persons if deluded by revolutionary frenzy." who had " formed intrigues of the most criminal nature," and who " maliciously affect respect for the person of the Soya- REIGN, while they decry his Government ,and conspire i against his throne." The following are the details of this event, as given in the Lisbon Gauge : LISBON, OCTOBER 29. We have omitted to make mention of what took place in this city on the night of the 25th of this month, and which has given rise to so many contradictory re ports, many of them absurd, because we were unwilling to touch upon this subject till we were assured of the truth of what we should publish. Now that we have been able to obtain accurate information, we can ac quaint, our reaskrs that the movement which took' place that night, was caused by the necessity in which the Government found itself placed, to give orders for the arrest of several individuals, who, deluded by a revolutionary frenzy, formed intrigues of the most cri minal nature; but we.may be easy, since their wicked machinations were happily discovered, and those who were implicated in them are in prison, and will be tried without delay, when those who shall be proved guilty, will receive the puni,hment they deserve. In the midst of the grief which we feel at seeing that there still exist among us some degenerate Portuguese, who think of disttnThbing the public tranquillity, we have the consolation of being able to affirm, that the spirit of all the corps of the garrison of this city manifested itself, on this occasion, to be such as may be expected from troops faithful to their King and country ; and all these corps behaved in so worthy a manner, that they merited the expressions justly addressed to them by his. Excellency the Minister of War, in the Order of the Day, which we annex : " Was-Orrice, OCTOSER 26, 1824. His Majesty the King, our Sovereign, commands the troops of all arms of the garrison of Lisbon, and the Royal Guard of the Police, to be informed of his Royal satisfaction with' the discipline which they shesved in the meeting of the preceding night. as well as with the prompt execution of the orders which they received from their Officers, with a view to maintain the public tranquillity, which some individuals, unworthy of the uniform which they had the honour to wear, .were en deavouring to disturb, with a folly equal to their wick• edness, making themselves the instruments of ambitious men, who disdain no means to execute their mad designs. Majesty is well convinced of the love and loy alty of the troops of his army, and of the sentiments of h o nour which animate the officers; and against these f e elings + which are rooted in the hearts of the Portu geese, all the Attempts: of the factitibt - 1114ois fait whatever be the denomination which they adopt, and whatever snares they may make use of, since nothing but oppetsbrium is to be -expected by those who, re nouncing the first and most essential virtue of so noble a profession, that is, entire and passive obedience, launch into intrigues, maliciously affecting respect for the person of the Sovereign, while they decry his Government and conspire against his throne. " The sovereignty is indivisible, and resides only in the Person of the King our Sovereign, from whom all the authorities emanate, and to whom all his subjects, however high and distinguished be their rank, owe equal obedience : everything that deviates from this line of conduct is criminal rebellion, which manifestly ,leads to the annihilation of the Monarchy. This is the doctrine which the officers ought to inculcate into those under them, since thus only they will fulfil their essential duties. His Majesty saw in the assem bling Of the *ova rhea of this conviction, and though he does nix doubt that, under similar circum stances, similar proofs would be given by ill the corps of the army stati,ined in different parts of the kingdom; he, however, desires that the example given by the garrison of Lisbon should be known by all of them, and, being imitated, the patetnal administration of Ms Majesty will soon be consolidated, who, in his Royal benevolence, has no other care than the happiness of all the Portuguese.

OCTOBER 25.—The Directors of the Public Granary have given notice, that in conformity with his Majesty's orders, tht importation of 15,000 moyos of soft Wheat, 1,000 of Rice, and 4,000 of Millet, into the port of Lisbon, is pentitted, subject to the existing regulations ,of Alvara of the. 15th instant. THE KING. WI N DSOR. Nov 11.—The Kmi continues to improve daily from his late slight attack of the gout, which has merely confined his MAJESTY to the Royal Lodge, and not to hi; apar talents.

The Stroller was the principal performance at this House last night, the new actress, Mrs. Sracitaan, taking the part of Mrs. Holler. In this character, which as one sufficiently trying to the abilities of a publi: per former, Mrs. SLOMAN acquitted herself in a very re spectable style. Her deportment was very lady-like and becoming, and the concluding scene was sustained with appropriate art and feeling. The fine, and highly wrought acting of Youao in this interesting play is too well known to require any additional encomium.

The Loan Cumecustua, on taking lib seat this day on the bench, particularly called the attention of the Counsel to the novel, and s o his Lordship, truly inexplicable case of taperer Weston, who, came before Mm on an appeal from the decree of the Viee-eh m ,, cellor.—The suit was instituted for the purpose of obtaining ; „ I order, on the behalf of a person named Michael Bon‘fteld, to pt under a:Commission of Bankruptcy against two persons risrnA Bastnsan and Hunter, no less a sum than £17,526, or in the event of that not being allowed, that an order might issue, decreeing hi m to be entitled to prove a sum of £8,406, under the said commission, On the hearing of the cause by the Vice-Chancellor, an order issued directing an inquiry, by the Commissioner, whether t h ere was likely to be any dividend under the commissions and if ther e was, the petitioner was to be allowed to use the names of his win assignees, (he, Michael Bonfield, having also failed), i n order to prove his debt, under the Commission against Balky and Co. a completely distinct arm. How this order came to be made, did not appear on the face of the petition, 'Dd.:although his Lordship, to use his own words, had eisspleped espy rainy day, tiering site rams, in trying to make biased acquainted with its meaning, he must protest solemnly, that he had wholly failed. ilk Loedship was aware of the importance of disposing of the ease ; and he cmdd not help noticing, that in this, as in many other instants, in which he had been blamed for delay, the fault lay wholly with the parties themselves. His Lordship knew (and he spoke in go o d humour) what his predecessors would have done with such a petition, " They would have thrown it at the head of the person presenting it, and struck it our altogether." He was not, however, inclined to follow such a mime, in consequence of the heavy expense that Would be incurred; but if parties would not instruct Counsel sufficient ly to enable theni to make their case understood, they must take the consequence. " In fact,' said his Lordship, Mauling down the Peti tion," I wholly despair of that taking place here, unless the whole case is restated." COURT OF KING'S BENCH-THIS DAY. IWZAR/NG IN TIM GRAND JURIES. At the sitting of the Court this morning, and as soon as Mr. Justice BAWL!! had taken his seat on the Bench, the Grand Juries for the City and Liberty of Westminster, and Connty of Middlesex, appeared on the floor, and were sworn its accordingly. His Lord ship then addressed them, and said he was happy to find the attendance of the Grand Jury so very puttc tual, although many of theth resided at .a consider able distance. During the period of the public duty which they were now called on to fulfil, should any difficulty arise in their minds in finding some of those ' bills which may be submitted to their consideration, upon referring to the Officer in attendance, his advice would be readily 4iven, or upon .application .to • the Court, every attention will be paid to them.—His Lord ship, in conclusion, said, he was not aware that he had anything further to address them oh, as he was sure the Jury would give every case a minute colsiderazion. The Grand Juries then retired, and were ordered to give their attendance on Wednesday next. BRADLEY v. ARTHUR. Mr. BROUGHANt moved for-a -new tried in this case, on the n a nd that the cumstances staffed on the triah .at' as jirstdreati, rt of the' defendant's conduct, and upon which the claim to damages was reduced, could not be sustained: It was an action brought by Colonel Bradley against Colonel Arthur, for putting him under arrest, and keeping him a considerable time in close confinement, upon the Honduras station. The cause was tried at the last Sittings in Guildhall, be fore the Lord Chief Justice. The plaintiff believing himself to be the senior Officer, and Commander in the Garrison upon the above station, refused to obey the orders of Colonel Arthur, and was, therefore, put under arrest. The defence was, that Colonel Arthur had been, appointed Commander by. the Duke of Manchester, Governor of Jamaica, and that he also acted under the appointment of General Fuller.— The Learned Judge left the Jury to say, upon the whole of the evidence, whether Colonel Arthur was su perior Officer at the time of the arrest ? If he was, the arrest was justifiable. The Jury were also directed to consider whether the plaintiff was kept in confinement longer than the circumstances of the case required. If they thought he was, then they would give such da mages as the case might warrant. The Jury found at verdict for theplaintiff; damages £100: Mr. littocomou, in an argument which continued two hours, contended that the defendant never was for one instact placed in military command over the plaintiff.. The Loan Ouse Jusrwa asked the Attorney -General, Who was for the defendant, whether the question would no; come belga before the Court in the form of a special ease ? This case which stood ovei from i yesterday, Was remised this morning, th e Attorney.Gerteral having objected so its Wiry made a special case. r. 11/400011•11. then proceeded isf his reply, and addressed Omit their Lordships at some length, when he was stopped lit the Lord Chief Justice, who informed the Attorney-General that the Court was of opinion the case should be a special one, and it was ordered accordingly. DRAM V. wunriacta. This was an action on the case against the Sheriff of 'Middlesea,. for selling, after notice, under a writ of Seri facial, goods belonging to the plaintiff. There was also a count in trover. This case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at Westminster, at the last sit tings, when it appeared that the writ was issued to levy a debt of 411. 10s. on the goods and chattels of a per son of the name of Greathead, and that when the officer went to the house to execute it, Mrs. Greathead told him that the furniture in the house was not her husband's property, but the property of the plaintiff, who lent it to her, to get her living by doing so. A notice was soon after sent to the Sheriff not to sell the goods, as they belonged to the plaintiff, but the Sheriff disregarded the notice, and sold them. For the defendant, it was snggested that this action could not be maintained, inasmuch as due notice was not given to the Sheriff that Greathead had some interest in the furniture, which interest the Sheriff might lawfully sell. This objection prevailed, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. Mr. GOMM now moved for a new trial, on the ground that due notice had been given to the Sherif, and that the furniture having been merely lent to Mrs. Greathead, her husband had no interest in it whatever- Mr. Justice Barter.—Did you in your notice tea the Shear what interest you had? Mr. Gummy—The notice stated that the goods were the tiff's, and that the Sheriff had no r i g h t to sell them—Role Sir JAMES MACINTOSH has written a masterly Paper on International Law, with reference to the Greeks, in which " drges the importance of establishing Maritime Tribunalsin Grerc!• Ms paper tl* Gr. ek Committee have determined to transmit , witho it lons of. time, to the Provinei4d Government, 1n: New Cowls in the City were yesterday opened.
