i was only intended to give another form to an existing debt. This was a pretext to create at our expense a new debt of 136,471,284 francs. These are the honest methods religion and Monarchical Governments are obliged to have recourse to to obtain money.— Absolute power which corrupts the master and his slave, has Wiled the ancient hon our of Castile. M. Roy, the Finance Minister, was of opinion that it could not be denied that even after the Government has authorized the negotiation, it ought to exercise its superintendence as much in the general ' interest as (or the interest of individuals who might take part in negotiating the loan. lam of opinion (be said) that the Government has not ceased to lie under the obli gation to assure itself that the emisson of Perpetual Annuities by Spain is accompanied by guarantees which can be exacted ; that it is its duty to verify the proportion and quantity emitted—to ascertain if the conditions announced have been fulfilled—if the annuities uegociated are those which arise from the conversion of the Royal Loan—and,bnally, if the public are informed every six months of the amount of annuities destroyed. For these were the conditions published on April 12. 1826, by the prospectus of M. Xavier Burgos, the Royal Spanish Commissioner. The present Ministry & however, have a meaning for the words duty and public interest dWerent from that understood by M. Roy. Their duty is to bring us back. by cunning or by force, under the yoke of passive obedience; acid, in their view the public interest consists in making France within • given time resemble the reli gious and monarchical Spain, and become miserable and impotent. Things, then, are left in the same state in which they excited such just complaints ; and when the Spanish Government chooses to emit at the Paris Exchange the whole or part of the seventy nine millions of francs which it means, according to M. Offalia, to gratify us with, there will be neither publicity nor competition, both being averse to the model Government. M. Ageado conti nues to slip out the paper from day to day on the Exchange, and absorb the capital of our small capitalists with no other information than publishing beforehand in the Moniteur the quantity of annui ties to be sold, and the number to be exchanged for our hard cash, which furnishes a very strong guarantee. How will all this end? Assn such things must of necessity end —in bankruptcy. M. de Medici has left Naples for Madrid. His plan is to reduce the different parts of the Spanish debt to the amount of capital received. The Perpetual Annuities will be at 40. They being now 54, there will only be a loss, it is said, of 14. But to reduce them to 40 Is to strike off 60, end to cut away at one stroke three-fifths of the annuity. An inscription of 10 dollars, payable at Paris, will be reduced to four dollars, payable at Ma drid. Deduct the expense of commission and loss by the ex changes, and instead of receiving 64 francs, the patties will not re- ceivi2o. From the Journal des Debats of Monday. PARIS, Nov. 9. Let us corgratuiate ourselves on seeing the Quotittienne enter upon a course of such wide toleration that we might even think it is going beyond bounds. Having never been able to make us be lieve is pretended placards posted on the walls of St. Quentin, in viting Catholics to abjuration, it attacks the Protestant Minister of this city, and asks, if it be true he offers bread and money to those who will abjure; that he assembles at his house poor Catholies,and announces to them, among other things, that Catholics will be damned, &c. We are much disposed to think all these statements may be placed by the side of the placards, when even he whom they con cern would disdain to refute them. But supposing them for an instant true, we like to see the Quoridienne declare that these facts are opposed to the liberty of conscience and the equality of rights granted to different religions ; because it is evident that on these principles, and recognising the reciprocity which results from them between the different communions established in France, it would condemn such means employed by one Clergy as well as another. Its wrath, therefore, could scarcely be expressed at the conduct of the fanatic who should go into the hospital and disturb the con science of a dying Protestant. But while we rejoice at seeing toleration making advances where we should expect it to retreat, let us not stifle the zealous desire of spreading the truth by the means which charity, prudence, and respect for the laws avow; and let us not feel scandalized if we should see one of our venerable ministers of the religion, which, by gentle persuasion, and a doe regard to the faith of others, wete to l'e able to restore to the Church some of our separated brethren. — Thus did the Apostles and the early Christians propagate the Gospel. From the Courrier Francais of Monday. PARIS, Nov. 9. A report which is now current of the probable dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies, gains some 's trength from the articles pub lished in the Gazette de France. It appears to have been an object of warm discussion in the Council, and that M. de la liourdonnaye presses for that appeal to the public feeling, while Al. d' Hammy shrinks from it. The Ministers who oppose the measure produce documents, which prove that the La Bourdonnaye party could not hope, is case of a re-election, to bring in above one-third of the Deputies. However that may be, the Gazette continues to insult the majority of the present Chamber ; that is a warning to the electors, that they must held themselves in readiness.

Ts our ankle yesterday on Mr. O'Conerst., foe—" be should remind him of the old nursery proverb," mad: nis Amid remind hits. We noticed some tune since the efforts of a corres pondent in the Times—signing himself E. E.—to bolster up M. DE POLIGNAC and his party. Having proved, from his own words, Iltat this writer must have been employed for the express purpose, it is creditable to his modesty, or the prudence of our contemporary, to per ceive that he has not since appeared in print as E. E. Prom the meaner in which these letters have been treated by the Liberal Papers of Paris, we are satisfied that our comments were perfectly well-founded. It would now seem, that the POLIGNAC Administration has found another partisan : one of the Paris Correspondents of the Thies—X.—begins his letter of the 7th instant which appears this morning, as follows: " We begin to feel lees seriously the attacks on the Ministry by the liberal journals, lad easy persons believe that the Royal au thority, is appointing them, will come vlctosiovsly oat of the straggle ; set because it is in the tight, bat because hb Majesty takes every opportunity of declating that his resolution to maintain them in power is unchangeable. You will no doubt have beard of the reception which the King gave to M. de la Ferronays at his audience of leave, before be set out an his return to Italy. On that occasion, his; Majesty having turned the conversation to the attacks on the Ministry, and testiliKl his surprise. M. de la Ferronays remarked. among other things, that M. de BOUNDOIK *peered in the highest degree to have ex cited public odium by his conduct at Waterloo : the King answered, " What M. Bourmont then did, he did by my orders." It is to be regretted that his Majesty should compromise himself by such speeches, which can never add to the respect which his exalted station ought to command." Although the imprudent declaration attributed to the KING is followed by a seemingexpression of disapproval, still it is impossible to mistake the object and intention of this paragraph. Indeed, its closing sentence is so little in accordance with all that precedes it, that one would be led to suspect it had been added by the translator, who thought thus to escape the animadversion of persons, who—like ourselves—are not indifferent to the conduct and con= sistency of their more influential contemporaries. This man, whoever be is—who signs himself X—attempts to establish, by a line of argument as absurd as ' it is improbable, that the refusal of the Budget, would be an injury to the cause of liberty ! The preposterous ness of such a doctrine betrays the fountain from which it springs. He must be shortsighted indeed—or have his perception strangely vitiated by interestedness—who does not see that such a determination of the liberal ma jority would operate with electric impulse in favour of European freedom ? It would prove that the feelings of a whole people cannot be impunely sported with, and give a lesson to surrounding Ministers and Princes, of which every day's experience only proves that they stand more and more in need ! Now that England has not merely ceased to be regarded as the friend and champion of freedom, but that her inclinations are to uphold despotic forms wherever the influence of her Ministers extends, we candidly confess that the firmness and patriotism of the French constitutional opposition becomes naturally an ob ject of warm and anxious solicitude with us : and not with ns merely, but every where else throughout the kingdoms, where the love of justice and humanity prevails. It is indeed consoling to reflect, as some knowledge of the real state of popular opinion among our neighbours enables us to do, that neither public liberty nor public principle can retrograde in France. We cannot resist quoting another passage from the Correspondent of the Times— " The tendency of our liberal journals is to provoke a civil war, and a war with Europe; but, as I have above observed, these ex aggerated opinions do not find partisans, and the high price of our public funds—the general tranquillity which prevails every where —proves that the nation is not easily to be misled." As we have little doubt that the organs of a party which embraces an immense majority of the French people, will reply to this wanton attack, we shall only say— as we have often said—that it is strange such tirades should be perpetually appearing in the columns of a Journal which has derived all its influence and prospe rity from the advocacy of liberal principles. It is with no captious feeling of personal resentment, nor jealousy of its success, that we have so often noticed the extraordinary aberrations of the Times: but in the prosecution of a great public duty. We are fully aware of the motives which weigh with our contemporary to treat us with af fected contempt—thus escaping from the necessity either of denying our exposures, or replying to our charges: but it is euough for us to know and feel that we should be neglecting a sacred trust if we remained silent on the occasions which have called forth our commentaries. Nay, more; we appeal directly to the public—who may judge between us—whether such a correspondence as that which we notice to .day, could be allowed to figure uncensored in the columns of such a paper as the Times, without a disgraceful reflection upon the connivance of its silent contemporaries ? We exhibit in another part of our Paper a very in teresting statement of the progressive increase of Cotton Yarn annually exported from Great Britain since 1813 It is we believe an axiom of the political economists that the price of an article is governed by the demand, but it will be seen by the statement rcferred to, that in proportion as the demand for Cotton Yarn has increased, its value has decreased from 4s. 4d. per lb. to 17d. As a trading question merely, it will be seen that the price of the raw material has decreased in a still greater ratio ; and although, after deducting the cost of the raw material, there is relatively a less amount left for interest of capi tal, wear and tear of machinery, profits and wages, than in 1814: spinning is still a profitable operation, it seems destined, however, to involve itself in the same fatal competition which has befallen the weaving operations. Various conjectures are entertained with regard to the object of Mr. ST RAT YORDCANN IMG'S intended mission. We were naturally startled when we saw the paragraph announcing that the Right Honourable Gentleman had been suddenly sent for by Lord AB ERDZEN. We trust that the object of the mission is in accordance with the policy of the great Statesman whom England still deplores. Nothing else would reconcile us to the Right Hon. Diplomatist acting under the per sonal enemies of his great and lamented Relative. We well recollect the indignation excited on a former occasion, when it was reported that Mr. SPRING RICE had accepted a place in India immediately after the resignation of Lord LA NS DOW NE. And if we were among those who depre cated his departure, we also were the first to congratulate the patriotic Member for Limerick, on his resolution to remain at home. If we have been somewhat later than some of our con temporaries, in noticing the death of Euoaatvs Rocua, Esq. late EDITOR of the Courier, we can unaffectedly say that it has not proceeded from insensibility on our parts to the many meritorious and amiable qualities which distinguished that lamented gentleman, and justly en deared him to a wide circle of friends and acquaintance. It has been well observed of Mr. Romig by a °Mem porary, that he never lost a friend, and never made an enemy : and we can sincerely declare, for ourselves — though in political advocacy we sometimes came into collision—that we never cherished a sentiment of more unalloyed regard, than that which we entertained for him. To a gentle disposition and remarkable urbanity of manner, he joined intellectual resources of no mean description, and the moral excellences in a high degree. During the many years we had the happiness to know him, we ever found him the same—without affecta tion, and without guile. No man carried a more scrupulous integrity and punctuality than he into all transactions of business, and in his domestic life he was a pattern worthy to be copied. Mr. RocHE — we believe—was thrice married, and when we state, that he leaves a young widow and nine children to mourn the irreparable loss of such a protector, we hope that his MAJESTY'S Government — whom he so long and so usefully served—will not suffer the family of their old and tried adherent to struggle, unassisted, with calamity. We have Buenos Ayres Papers this day to the 12th September, from which, without any preliminary com ment, we make the following interesting extracts. In another section of this sheet will be found the copy of a private letter to the agent at the North and South American Coffee-house, on the same subject as these papers ; and both are highly deserving an attentive perusal : BUENOS AYRES, Am 29.

CULCOLAS FROM TUR SiCISTAXT OF TUX oovemmemrr. BUENOS AYRES, Sari. 9, 1229. The undersigned Governor and Captain-General has the honour to address himself to the Governor of the Province of ----- to communicate to him the happy termination of the civil war, as a consequence of the adjustment contained in the annexed bulletin, in virtue of which the supreme authority in the province has been established and recognised in the person of the undersigned. The Government of Buenos Ayres, in announcing itself to those who preside in the other provinces of the republic, performs the duty it has sworn, and gratifies its dearest sentiments, interesting itself not only for the preservadon.of peace and good intelligence with all the provinces of the nation, but also that the connections which unite them be animated by the spirit of impartiality, and sealed by the effect of experience. Unfortunately, the fatal scourge of war continues to afflict innocent provinces, and the voice of rea son and convenience is an effectual echo, lost amidst the clash of parties. Probably the minds of the people are not yet suffi ciently tranquillised to listen to the warnings of a Government which has been taught its errors from cruel experience, nor suf ficiently conbdent to ucrifice their passions to good faith. But this appreben.ion, which Heaven gratis may prove un founded, will not prevent the Government of Buenos Ayres from anxiously contemplating the present stateof the republic, nor induce it to remain inactive in the fraternal offices which are required in order to arrive at a point in which all the interests of the provinces may agree, and particularly that which the vital honour of this nation imperiously demands. The Government of Buenos Ayres will shortly communicate its intentions through the medium of its envoys, to the chief of this province, and will launch, if necessary, in the midst of contending parties, to take a pan in the glory of remov ing the scandal of internal commodores, to promote a sincere second nation, and to solicit among the Argentine family the compacts which may secure the internal repose and preserve the brilliancy of the glorious acts which shed a lustre upon the history of the country. But before entering upon this conduct, the Government of Buenos Ayres ought, and does declare before the other Provinces, that whilst the Republic is not constituted by a general compact formed by the free voice of the citizens, and an established Con stitution does not determine the positive duties of each province, its internal policy will be limited. Respecting that of the sister pro vinces, to recognise the Governments they establish, cables ting their friendship and good wishes ; and preserving its provisional institutions, to defend the rights of its territory and to lend its assistance to forward every thing which it considers useful and salutary for the general good of the republic, and of the provinces of Buenos Ayres in particular. The Government, placed in the midst of a vast theatre of ruins. caused by a sanguinary and prolonged struggle, and constitated in the obligation of applying itself urgently to repair the present evils, and to seek resources for remedying imperious necessities, might well justify its acting by itself, if the administration participated in the local attachments that a spirit of timidity inspires, or the experience of four lustre/ of uncertainty ; but the Government of Buenos Ayres, without sneering itself to be swayed by the enthu siastic idea of its particular interests, and with the firm resolution henceforward to take no other path but that which experience has proved practicable with respect to the sentiments which prevail in the nation, without falling into the extravagance of an ideal policy, without anticipating the course of events, and without opposing itself to demands founded on general opinion. The provisional nature of the present Government of Buenos Ayres cannot. it is true, impress upon the candid expression of its sentiments the respectable seal of stability ; but the Government believes it risks nothing when it declares, on transmitting them to his Bacellesey the Governor of the province of that it displays the well-known principles of the inhabitants of this pro• vince, and anticipates a prompt:Won which, in their view of the (peados, will concentrate the opinions of the Portasoe, when their legal representation, are freely chosen, to accomplish which the Government wW strenuously nett itself. In the mean time, the Government of Buenos Ayres promises itself the most perfect reciprodty from this meritorious province; and trusts that its expectations will not be defeated by =des into eau ; and that the provinces, viewing the melancholy vestiges of ambition and anarchy, will strive to prevent 01-4doed prlsci plc, from being made subservient to sinister purposes, or that they should again become the means of introducing new disorders tote the Republic, and that they wW substitute for the sad essays of* barren theory, institutions prepared by rellectioo. seasoned by time. and ratified by the real will of the people. The Government of the Provisos of Buenos Ayres having thus frankly manifested its sentiments to his Iseelkuey, the Governor of has the honour to salute him with his particular (aPad) V IA M ONT, • TOMAS GUIDO. To his Ilecellsocy the Gomm, of the Priebe. of . . .

In an article from Smyrna, dated the 27th Sept. and inserted in the Brussels Papers of the 1 1 th, received this day, we have a vain boast that " six years of piracy" have given to Greece a number of hardy seamen ; and consequently that they will be able to carry on the trade between Europe and Turkey, upon terms with which European speculators cannot contend. This is but a poor hope, founded upon very rascally premises.—A letter from Constantinople of the 10th Oct. informs us that, although the capital is tranquil, a feverish excitement pre vails, in consequence of the motions and interviews of the British Magnates with the Grand SuLTAN. The blockade of the Dardanelles is raised : SMYRNA. Sim 27. Sis years of ,piracy have formed a great munber of seamen in Greece ; the produce of so many years of pillage, with the resources furnished by the powers. especially France, have enabled the Greeks to equip 600 ships, which wait only for the first signal of peace, to crowd all the parts of Turkey ; and, under the protection of Russia, to profit by the free navigation of the Black Sea. They will be able to carry on the trade, between Europe and Turkey. upon terms which European speculators cannot contend with And here there is no compensation for England, still less for France. In the night of the List, the house of AL Vansaneu a Dutch merchant, in the village of Boudgia, was en tered, and completely pillaged, by a band of robbers. Twenty men, in the most grotesque attire, and well armed, entered and summoned Mr. and Mrs. V. to deliver up all their property, on pain of death if they restated. Mr. V. received several blows with the butt ends of their muskets. Ten more were stationed outside at the three doors ; but a servant escaped and spread the alarm in the village. The thieves, perceiving his flight, were in a hurry to terminate their operations ; and u the inhabitants of the village began to be in motion, the robbers fled precipitately with their booty. The value of the property stolen is 12,000 piastres. These robbers are part of an organised band, belonging to the villages on that side.—Brataseis Papers. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 10. Great attention is excited by the arrival of Admiral Malcolm on the 7tb, and Ms audience of the Sultan, to whom he was intro• duced Go the Bth, by the English Ambassador. The most strange reports bare since been in circulation. The sending of the Annids French Frigate to Toulon, seems to have been occasioned by Ad miral Malcolm's visit. The affairs of Greece an said particularly to engage the attention of the French and English Ambassadors. The Admiral will soon leave us, and for the present remain at Tenedos; but in the sequel go to Corfu. The blockade of the Dardanelles is raised, and Admiral Heydn goes to \tooth. Enos was evacuated by the Russian troops on the Bth. Since then, the harbour of that place is said to present a very busy appearance, owing to the presence of the English men of war. M. de Ribeaupierre is expected, as Russian Ambassador. Hatil Pada will set out for St. Petersburg as soon as he receives his passports. Orders are sent to Servia for the incorporation of the six districts, concerning which there was some misunderstand. ing with Count Diebitsch—i t not having been agreed whether this stipulation was to be carried into e%ect before or after the ratifica tion of the treaty. There was a similar misunderstanding respect ing the delivery of Ghlurgevo; bet both points have been quietly adjusted. It stems that the Sultan will remain for the winter in his present camp. The Capital enjoys perfect.tranquillity.—dige siseisse Sefton. We have heard a great deal about the cause of putting off the Council summoned to receive the Re corder's Report. Had it been occasioned by the in disposition of the KING, the latter circumstance could hardly have failed to be known ere this. Of the two causes assigned by our contemporaries, we confess, that it would be infinitely more gratifying to hear, that the delay has arisen from His Majesty's disinclination to come in con tact with the Common SERGEANT, than that it should be caused by indisposition. UNITED STATES.—" The present year, (says News paper published in the capital of the chiemanufacturing State of the Union, Massachusets) will be remembered as perhaps more fatal to property than any period since our existence as a nation. The investments of capital in manufacturing establishments, so far from yielding dividends, have been followed by call after call of further investments, to prevent total ruin. " Unhap pily," says this account, " he (the manufacturer) is soon surprised by an assessment of perhaps twenty five per cent. on the stock aforesaid, which, with some difficulty, he contrives to pay by procuring a temporary loan. This is the best warning; yet he is consoled with the belief that all is well,' and that he will receive a fat dividend. He is soon destined, however, to be sur prised' a second time ; another assessment is laid, and probably double the amount of the former. He is com pelled to pledge his stock for what money can be raised upon it ; and to make up the sum required, he is obliged to force a sale of his other property at less than half the cost; his air-built castle vanishes, and in the end he is ruined. Meanwhile manufactures have become so worthless, that it is difficult to find a person who will accept the stock, with its liabilities, even as a gift ; the deg raded inmates of these establishments are turned friendless and ignorant upon the world, and the only possible good that results from this mass of evil is the severe lesson of experience it always conveys to mankind." The article concludes with the expression of an opinion that the next Session of Congress " will not disappoint the just and reasonale'm expectations of the community ; and that a certain Act, passed in 1828, will, ere long, only be remembered as a stain on the national annals, and a disgrace to its projectors."—Boston Com mercial Gazette. THE CLERGY.—The country from one end to the other rings with the cry of distress ; and shall the Clergy alone be free from its severe visitation ? Shall they not yield some of their immense substance (got together wo shall not now stop to enquire) to the alleviation of the national calamity ? If they will not voluntarily yield up these strong holds of the world's wealth, they must be, and will be, wrung from them.—Newark Times. If the Duke of Wellington is so misled or deceived, as to hesitate at doing what we believe to be his duty for the interest of the State, then we should say, however reluctantly, let some other man be placed at the head of affairs who will. In the mean time let the in fluential classes of society speak out. In agriculture the landlord should speak for himself, his tenants, and the patiently ; in manufacturing districts, the masters should make their own cause known, and that of their men ; and we trust than whenever Parliament does meet, Mi nisters will at least not have the excuse of saying there can be no distress where there is no complaint, but that the table of both Houses will be covered with petitions setting forth the real state of things.— Moraing An official account has beenreceived at the Havannah, of the attack of the Mexicans on Tampico on the 20th of August.
