We know that we have not been singular in m ilting every act of the Spanish Government since ve orle, by their loyalty and bravery, aided by ibe rous exertions of this country, succeeded io bring. FEepr4At,DbacktotheThrone. Never did any pee). leceire so ungrateful a return for loyalty and duty Cieir Sover, ign as the Spanish Patriots. Never in lily country was there exhibited a system of more Idiberate and sanguinary tyranny than has been nerciied over the Spanish nation by a cold-blooded nt bigot, acting under the influence of the worst me n ; or rather transferring the whule executive ' over into their hands, and suffering them to glut private vengeance for real or supposed slights, 1 , i n juries inflicted on their sacred order. That any people, participating In the common (fl oe:ledge of the nineteenth century, should continue submit to such debasing and clegrtdim sksery, -or a s i ng le day longer than absolute necessity might !ommand, was not to be believed. Even a Rosa. Noma MARAt, a BONAPARTE, can reign by terror ,illy for a few years ; how short Must be such a reign finder such a creature as a FERDINAND ! None but the most ignorant and brutalized of mankind could 'ong submit to be the victims of such a system, guided rd directed by such a Government. We hare been for some time in daily expectation the unprovoked persecution and cruelty exercised .ver the P.sttiots, would at last urge some individual resist the lawless exercise of power. From an In :ident which occurred the other day the state of the public mind could not be mistaken—we allude to the ::vt-clivei of the Friar against the Spanish Patriots, Then he was reminded by a Cavalier, among the Iturers, that this was not preaching the Gospel, and :fie effect was so electric that the whole congregation cm up in a body. quitted the church, and at last de. ;.royei the house to which the Priest had retired for It now appears that in one quarter at least the re. slitance has broken out in optn revolt. By the Co !mil/ Mail, which arrived at a late hour last night, counts have been received, stating, that an or :anised insurrection, headed by the celebrated Gene. r.:l PORLIIM, has broken out there. Our private let leis are to the 24t1i, at that time every thing was as tranquil as if nothing uncommon had occurred—only ti;e people were, each in that own sphere, meting rteir influence to gain adherents, not merely in th, it immediate neighbourhood, but in places mr , rr distant. Whether any previous concert with other quitters had been settled for a general rising, we have nGt yet the means of ascertaining i but in the present state of rnblic feeling in Spain, we would not be surprised :hunid the bold step that has been taken at Corunna, even without any previous concert, prbve the nwan of exciting ether provincts to Like the field in main t,n.ince of their just rights.

" I have just time to advise you that the brig !d, 0, Captain CHANCELLOR, is this evening arrived, in three days, from Corunna, and brings an account an insurrection in Gzilicia. A Proclamation has tit( issued by General Don Juan Diez PoBLIER, commanding in that Province, declaring that FERDI NAND VII. by his iniquitous conduct, is unfit to reign, a; d calling on all the other Provinces to join him ar.4his army (which are unanimous in the cause) to tia'Jlish the Cones and Junta : the adjoining Pro maces are said to be quite in opinion with that of Callicia, and that the next acceuots are expected to be that the cause is general throughout Spain. Co runna 'lO/45 illuminatc d. in consequence." is CORUNNA, SEPTEMBER IF. A very ur.exprcted event has just taken place here. G neral Porlier, wbo had been confined here by the King's orders, in the Castle of St. Antonia, ever since Aogust, 1814, but obtained permission last month to tit.: the bath of Artrijo, on account of ltis health, last night assembled the troops quartered at Santa Lucia, th without the gates, and entered this City at one .Vtlock this morning, where he arrested the Captainr Gracral of the Province, the Governor of this city, and two or three other persons.: by three all was quiet• aad as perfect tranquillity prevails as if nothing had happened. —The followtm; is the General's PRoci.AmATtoN, ADTMESSED BF GENERAL nos WIZ I.ORLIER TO THE SOL ERSOIP Tili!

Nobody b ignorant that the Wog, eurrouhded by unjust and avaricibut Countellon, has consented toi anti eicentxd, a 'proscription so atrocious, that even the irra tional have trembled at it; the Most iligstrious and deserving men have been the first victims of it. Delivered, by this means, from those who had preferred the general good to their own in terest, they ttpned the flood-gates of despotism, and the nation was in a moment inuodated with the furious torrent. 44 Such, So:diert, Is the mass of evils and misfortunes that we have suffered ! contempt, divrace, have been the recompense they love given us t the diesokulon of the bas, punishments, contributions, duties (les rosaries, las tarries), and, finally, the depressird and discouragement of agtieulture and eomniere , !

" l o come out of a situation so desperate, and which scan daiit.s all Europe, we need but to be resolved. We, if the case iv proper:), eonsi4rced, are the oppressors of the country; since :hese a►ms, intended only to combat the enemies of what is good, have been turned, for tit's year past, against ourselves and against our fortune and interees. , " 1)c) not fear in attempting this enterprise—the armies of other Powers, since conducted by cea;e Nincev, endowed with the most splendid virtues, far from opposing our just eanse, It is rather g-early to he hoped that they will maintain and support, :t. Yes! we have before our eyes most strikieg testimonies of this !flail, which have made us conceive the ntnet Oath-ging hopes. They have disapproved from the very beginning the ems. duct of King Ferdinand, and with a noble and generous unani. miry, they have finished, by excluding him front the European alliance, having previously left no naEans untried to divest Hui from error, and fromehe precipice —all has been in vain. " In this situation, no alternative remains to us bet to take to ' arms. Let us remove from his side those wkked counsellors— let us re-establish the Cortes, ant let them determine the system which is to govern us; and meantime, considering the nation as abandoned and destitute, the l'rovinces, in imitation of this most noble kingdom of Gallicia, will appoint their internal Jantas to govern theta till the convucation of the Cortes. " Henceforth the valiant soldier, the man of talent and of real merit, shall meet with a solid recompence —art I, agriculture, and Commerce, shall resume their 113Cielnt splendour—the national • wealth shall recover the sante channels which formerly nourished it—the soldiers and other* Employed by the public *hall be ponce tua ly paid—ghe scale of justice *ball return to that equilibrium of force which is the foundation of the tranquillity of the State.

Today we received tic Paris Papers of Wednes day : they announce /i l tiary, four. ministerial ap pointments, viz. the D.uc de Rtutaucti, for Foreign Affairs and Premier; BAUM De MARRO'S, Milliner of Justice and Keeper of the Seals ; Comverro, as Minister of Finance ; and Count VAUBLANC, as Mi nister of the Interior. Among these names, that of the Due de Riots. I.:Eu stands highest in point of integrity and honour, acid what ii no scull . praise his character itis never been *wined by his participation in the infamous Rm. lution which finally placed the still mote infampusßo- N A P.% It It FE at the head of affairs in France. His declit• ration to the Ramo, that he woul.l not sit at the-same with Foucue, sufficiently marks the pinky of his mind. • _ _ _ _ BAnne Dc MAIM' , the next Minister no the list, wa: employed during tho old regime as an Intendant in the Colonies : he sit afterwards in the Council of Ancients, but was ordered to be deported on suspi cion of Royalism, at the same time with Pictutonn and his paity. On his return to France he accepted an office under BONAPARTE, as Enperor, it is true ; but his charactet was always very fair. His office was that of First President in the Court of Accounts, in which Lousl XVIII. continued him in 1814. He followed his M.i . ksty to Ghent, and vigorously op , posed the 14te re.usurpation. Convcrro, the new Finance Minister, was a lawyer at the commencement of the Revolution, and has since tilled a number of offices of State with tolerable &edit. He was one of those who signed Bosm- PARTE'S forfeiture of the throne in March 181+, as a Counsellor of State, in which capacity Lotus XVIII. continued him. We find him recalled into the ser• vice of BONAPARTE, however, by a Decree of the 25th at March last, but . it is understood that he never served. Count VAUBLANC, the new Minister of the Interior, was a Member of the Legislative Assembly in 1792. He is a man of mild manners, but possesses a firm . character and an enlightened mind. He never de. traded himself by ministering to the crimes of the Despot, although his talents were frequently put in requisition. He filled of late yelts the'comparatively humble situation of Prefect of the Moselle, and dis tinguished himself on the return of the Dotranina by a Proclamation to his department lull of good sense and moderation. Thus it will be seen that the new Preach Ministry contains no particularly marked character, against whom the shafts of ridicule or the sarcasms of indig. nant and outraged humanity could be directed with effect. In this respect a great advantage has been gained, and we have no doubt that the Parisian EA. tors speak from good authority when they assure their Readers that the dismissal of BONAPAItTF'S senile crew has been Considered by the Allies as a pledge of good faith, and is likely to produce a cot.. respondent alleviation of the burdens of the French people. Foveae has not yet set ow for Saxony, nor has NEY been put upon his trial. Another hint is given the former, tiat the Chamber of Deputies may pro. bably stop his mission, by recommending a revision, . . . of itis past * conduct before the tribunals: 'The this Date of OTRANTO has not Oblitetated the recol lection a the eiitues of Fouctsk the Conyentionalist and Am& of Mantel 1 An annual awing of neatly two millions of francs ii promised by the abolition of Foucstes odious of fice of Generalissimo .of the 'Spies. The rrcnch King has, we trust, at length discovered, that the Liberty of the Press will effect all that it wanted, by represint plots and inoriett'ons with argument and common sense; and ahbve all, by making the Go. vern s ment acquainted with the state of public opinion better than the myriads of caves-droppers who swarmed in every house in France under the glorious and trialy honourable patronage of S avant, FOUCInt and Company. Frenchmen would do well to recol lect, that this very system of ettimete has done much to degrade the national character, and to demoralize the individuals of their natitn in the ryesol all Europe. —flow glorious is the sr etacle of tl:e parlour of an English eat:-house, where every individual is heard with manly freedom, discussing the merits of the Ministers and Legislatute, aid settling the affairs of Europe his own way, a hen contrasted with the shiver ing and half-starved banditti ex%orted in a French cabaret, with one of Fouork's MQUiCe•li in the corner, watching every shrug of disaflectiou I And yet this is the system which rout::lF. and his friends wished to continue in France. it was, in short, a modifica tion of the reign ot . terror. PARIS, SEP fEMLIER 26. The great point to which the Public now direct their attention, is the ensuing opening of the two Chambers ; immediately after which, it is expected the Declaration of the Allied Sovereigns will appear, which, it is hoped, will restore that repose to the nation, which every heart in it is so much in need of. It appears there is shortly tq be be a grand review of the Prussians, and another of the Austrians. It is again reported that the camp at Geniis is formed. The Allied Sovereigns do not leave Paris yet ; great preparations are nevertheless making for their reception at Geniis. The Emperor Alexander it seems has received a deputation from Poland, soliciting the re-estabiish meat of the entire Kingdom. The Swiss Cantons have ordered away all the French whose political opinions were against the House of Bourbon. The King of Sardinia has reclaimed from the Go. vertiment the restoration of the works of art taken from Turin and Piedmont. The forts of Bitche, Sitchtenbhurg. and Petite- Pierre, are declared by the Allies to be in a state of blockade. The Duke of Orleans has arrived in Paris, for the I I porpon of attending in his place ill the House of ' P 4111 09 and we may suppose the principal points arc expected to be immediately settled, as his nighties, has not brought either. the Llnchess, or any of bib amiable family with him—having the intention per hapi of returning to England to bring them as soon as circumstances, permit. The Duke of Orleans was sent for express by a letter from the King, to be pre sent at the opening of the two Chambers. The garrison of Caen is composed of only 4000 Prussians. The roads to Normandy are covered by Prussian troops, marching on Paris. The Prussian garrison at d'Angers has received an order to march to Paris. There is but small garrisons at d'Antin Sanlieu, and Senlis. Great quantities of stores continue to arrive at Dijon, destined for'tbe camp at Geniis. FROM ?HZ CIA,ETTI PARIS, SEP intuit U. The King has nominated— The Duc de Richelieu. Minister and Secretary of State in the department of Foreign Affairs, President of the Council of Ministers. Count Barbe de Marbois, Peer of France, Minister and Secretary of State in the department of Justice, and Keeper of the Seals. Count Coteau°, Councillor of State, Minister and Secretary of State in the department of the Futaaces. I M. de Barante, Councillor of State, is intrusted, /tar interim, with the Portfolio of the Interior, until the arrival of the Count de Vaublanc. [The Official Gazette also contains two Royal Ordonnances—one ordering payment up to the 16th September of all advances made on account of all irregular corps called out by BONAPARTZ t but de claring, that from that date all allowances whatever shall cease. The second Ordonnance authorizes the City of Paris to raise twelve millions of francs, by way of loan, in order is meet the payment of its share of the war contributions.] 7ROM THE GAZETTE DE PLANE& PARIS, SEPTEMBER 27. The change of Ministry, and the names, which are so well known, of the new Ministers, have trail quillixed mens' minds greatly. Some persons even, who think themselves well-informed, say, that the guarantee which this new organisation offers to the Allied Powers, has already induced them to accede to several propositions which they had with pain re fused previously. It is generally asserted this evening, that Baron Louis retains the Ministry of Finance. Some prison: pretend that the Prefecture of the Police stiall be suppressed; that part of its attribu tions. which is purely relative to the Police, will he confided to a Buremt Attsched to the Ministry of Gt. ntrAt Police, and as to the rest they will be restored ti the Prefecture of the Departmeut, from which they acct siCiached at :the time of '4411. Dubois .dnd Frochet, then. Prefetti, of lire Police and of Departments, a struggle in which Frochet had aln:ost always f4ilod. It ii said that there- will' result from this suppression, it iaiing of one million 800,000 francs. ft is thcoght that his Kijeity will not appoint any Minister of the Household. Our misfortunes are great. very great, htit, never theless, sie must not anticipate them. nib riwv 'iin we ate still on their pedestals the Watts de Medleis, the Lacoon, and the famous Torso. The Tran•fignrarion, and several other pictures, were still in their place yesterday. Marshal Periguon arrived at Paris this evening, from his Government At Toulouse. • We learn from Angouleme, that the department of Charente has already received a considerable num ber of soldiers who have quitted the corps to which they belonged. The soldiers exhibit a proper spirit. We cannot say as much, howeier, for some of the officers; but measures :ire taken to check any bad dispositions which they vti.ty show. FROM THE JRURNAL DRS MATS. Yesterday, In the evening, we received the follow ing Note, hut too late to insert in our Journal: • u The Dike of Orleans, having been called upon by a letter frusn the King, to be pi eseat at the open ing of the next Session of the two Chambers, set nut ins7antly from the country seat which his Serene Highness occopies near Loudon, with his family, and 'has arrived at Paris. The Duchess-and M olemor selle Orleans, as well as the young Princes and Prin cesses, remain in England." Yesterday evening at nine o'clock the Duke of Or leans visited the King, and to day his Highness et 'sited the Duke and Duchss of Angouleme. We are assured tat several of the Articles which were the most burdensome on France, and req.rird in the ultimatum of the Allied Powers, are mciirilied Or suppressed. As we have • already announced, the Prus.ian armies are concentrating on Paris. Prior... Biticiii:r is here, and his head-quaners have been ..i:tini•irely transferred from Caen to Vcr sallies. We are ;issurri that the King of Prussia will have a general review of his troops in the environs of Paris, and that he w:ll set out some da)s After this review.

These troops yin :ed. that city on the `24th or 'lsth.

It is composed in two Generals, five Brigadiers, the Commandant of :he National Guards at• Rome; and presided by a Palate. The last Pantpidet of M. CAri:ot is signed with his name, and dated from Cerny, a link town near Etampei, where he has taken up his residence. A Dutch Mail has arrived, but its contents are a repetition of detaiis similar to what we have kit ►uu,e time been receiving—the state of the lr.iii;iers the 'warfare there carried on—tae rejoicings et the establishment of the Monarchy—and tire gelierar jay diffused by the fact being ascertained that alt ►he unignuments of art stolen by the French tlieves are packing up at Paris to be returned to the proper owners.

There was a party of select sad particular friends invited upon the occasion. Earl BATHURST had an audience of the Paine REGENT yesterday, at Carlton House.
