Nevertheless it is very necessary that, whilst Government pays the greatest attention to every thing which relates to the well being of the troops pod officers of the atmies, military discipline an.' the Royal Orders should be maintained in all their force; because without discipline and order, not only is not an army in a condition to make head against an enemy, but it becomes a prejudicial hurdles' to the State which suppOrts it. 4f The General in Chief, therefore, hopes, that the Generals and Officers of the army will, on their part, ;take every possible effort to cement and maint:.i►t, in its vigour, discipline according to the Royal Or ders, on all occasions of service ; assuring them, that et the proper time when, with the greatest satisfac tion, he shall call the attention of Government, praising their conduct on all occasions, he will not fail to point out any want of attention on the part of the Officers in the fulfilment of their respective duties with respect to orders, as well as all want of discipline and good order in the troops. All which I transmit to your Excellency by order of his Excellency the Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, for your information, and fulfilling as far as it concerns you. " LOUIS AVIP.II-!EFIN." The paper entitled 47/ ribuna del Pueblo _siano.4 (the Tribune of the Spanish people) corit.tins obser vations at considerable length, on the I) scree of the Cortes of the 6th of January, passed on the applica tion los solicidudes of Lord Wellington's constituting him General in Chief of all the Spanish Armies. The writer observes, that every good Spaniard must cer tainly, at all events, support the Sovereign Congress. We may attack its errors, byt we must be careful not to destroy the institution. At the same time, we sitould assert the liberty of speaking like freemen, and gieinting out to our representatives what we conceive st be errors, that they may amend them. All insti tutions are composed of men subject to the imperfec tions of human nattne- In fine; the nation which has Dot a representative body, cannot be Free. The writer r then proceeds to animadvert on the above-mentioned Decree, which he affirms, places Spain under a inili tary government, and is not onjv contrary to particu lar articles of the Constitution, but to its whole intent, 'since it providcs fundamentally, that all the authori , ,ties. shall be responsible for their conduct. But who does not see that the General who commands the army of another nation, vhose Government may com municate to him orders contrary to those he receives from o?rs, is morally incapacitated from exercising any authority in our army, unless it shall be said that ,our' orders are to give way to his ? Who does not !perceive, that to confer such authority on a persun who cannot be deprive,' of it without the danger of involving the nuion in a new war, is bath impolitic Sand unconstitutional ? Jf this General should commit an y error, he cannot be made resporbible for it, unless will voluntarily submit himself to the judgment of to law. It may, perhaps, be said, that according to the expression of the law, Lord Wellington is responsi '-le ; that responsibility must be nugatory, ',hen the law has no power to enforce it, without kiAling a tivil war. If it should be said that whoever is ac luainted with the virtues of this Noble General, can n doubt but he mill act according to the law, it ust be admitted that his responsibility does no; de- :nti upon the constitution, but upon his own probity, 66 In the most despotic form of Government,. the irince-may be virtuous, and not oppress.his suljects; int maims the form of Government be changed, the :itizens cannot call themselves free.

The more free .en are, the more jealous will they be of their liber its, and the more carefully will they avoid whatever lay enitinger them. ti What Englishman would endure to see such as we have granted to Lord Wellington, ited in his country to a foreign General ? If there ere one, he would not only be unworthy tp be an Iglishrnan, but to be a freeman. And can it be 'ondered at that a Spaniard should entertain the ate sentiments? and Are there souls so degraded as 44t Only not to entertain them, but to consider it as crime in others that they do entertain them?

Calvert, Esq. W. Lowndes, Esq. Hon. Thomas Grosvenor J. H. Smith, Esq. Lord Arthur Somerstt C. Dundas, Esq. Earl Gower I W. Smith, Esq. W. Egerton, Et+ LOCAL iOICENS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER' moved the second reading of the Local Tokens Bill. Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON made some observations, which were principally directed to Ire land, and in speaking of the distresses there, he allu ded to a meeting hel d in Dublin, for the purpose of petitioning the Legislature on the subject. He was not an advocate for local tokens, but he would sup* port the extension, as he considered them preferable to nothing. He concluded by asking what substi tute was proposed for local tokens ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to the Noble Lord's qttestion, said, that the Noble Lord might recollect, that he had before sta ted his belief, that before they would be called in, a large supply would be issued by the Bank ; and since his statement, the probability of such issue had been considerably strengthened. Mr. FITZGEItALD said, that although he con curred in the opinions of his Right Hon. Friend on the subject, as fai as related to England, yet it was possible, from the greater degree of distress which prevailed in Ireland - , that he might be inclined to take la different view of the question as it related to that country, and ultimately propose a measure different ' from the present, in order to alleviate that distress, as it was affected by the want of a circulating me dium. The Bill was read a second time. Mr. PONSONBY wished to ask a question of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for Ireland. The Right lion. Gentleman had said, that though he partly agreed with his Right Hon. Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) yet he should perhaps be under the necessity of proposing a very different measure fey Ireland. He (Mr. Ponsonby) thought the House entitled to know what were the reasons which would induce him to propose the measure, and also the na ture of the measure to be proposed ? He supposed the Right Hon. Gentleman would not object to in form them. Mr FITZGERALD said, his difference in opi nion with his Right Hon. Friend arose from the dif ference in the circumstances of the two countries.— In Ireland, the distress was very great; they had no Jocal tokens—only a sort of silver note—a kind of arrignais ; he therefore did think to bring in a Bill to extend the circulating local tokens to Ireland—no: with a view to depreciate the currency of the coun try, but to supply the place of a worse medium.— He said this, speaking merely the opinion of an indi vidual, and his suggestion must be considered. in no other light. Mr. WHITBREAD supposed, that his not un derstanding the Right Hon; Gentleman, arose from his own want of comprehension. He did not see, holding the office which he did, how the Right Hon. Gentleman could call his opinion the opinion of an individual, any opinion which he gave in that House, mist be considered as the opinion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for Ireland, he having assumed that office. (Hear, /gar.) And he had spoken of the general circulation of Ireland, as so base, sq low, as to consist of nothing but a parcel of paper ateig nate ! lie, however, proposed to supply them with local tokens, but without fixing their value—that was, metallic assignats instead Omer ones. The Right Hop. centlensan had confessed that great distress prevailed in 4Telind 4 and that the state of the two countries wuk so different, and their disorders so dis similar, that they required rwo ithyrielaat, (A laapi.) TO Chancellor o(the Thackeiuer anticipted lw lis44 . P * of silver from the Bank, and his hopes were bett et grounded now than when he last spoke of the jest, but still he should vote for a further extension the Bill until he saw the issue, and he should adve n to this point in the committ ee . H e w i s h ed to kn 3., whether the plan of the Chancellor of the Exchequ e for Ireland was digested, or whether it was ma t h floating as the measures purported to be so diff e . tent, he thought,it would be desirable that the Chan. cellar of the Exchequer ehonld postpone his measur e until that of the Right Hon. Gentleman should brought forward. Mr. FITZGERALD had stated the distresses , Ireland to be great; but if his recollection :erred him, he had not used any word that implied • paper was the general currency of the country ; all had said was, that such was the circulation of tarn, 'islar parts of the country ; he was now aware of indiscretion of using the word anignatr. The present Bill applied to the local tokens in England—thus Pere none in Ireland. He had been obliged to refute their importation at Waterford, unless they paid o duty as wrought silver; not because they would rate against paper, but because they could not other, wise be legally imported. He might agree with necessity of extending the Bill, and yet deprecati principles, which he had shewn, by postponing hi s sent to it to the last moment. With the siews enter, taincd by the Gentlemen opposite, he did not see ;- they could object to the extension of local tokens Ireland.—He had made his first observations in sequence of the remarks of the Noble Lord (A. milton) on the Irish Meeting, and with a view to form Gentlemen opposite, as well as his friends him, of the real state of the case. Atter a few words from Mr. VANS!TTA/IT, Poesoene, and a remark in rather a warm tone from Mr. FITZGERALD, I Mr. WHITBREAD said, that he hoped the W Hon. Gentleman was nut vexed by the questions to him, for in the situation in which he WAS plan he m•_ist expect a great many mere, and the He would expect answers. The Bill was ordered to be committed on Fri' nets.—Acijourne4. THE EVEgING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, ISI3. Marquis WELLINGTON, as will be been•from our extracts from the Cadiz Papers, has not taken upon himself the office of Generalissimo of Spain without incurring the illiberal censures of some of the Spa, nish Journalists. Their chief objection against his Lordship is—that he is a foreigner : than which they could not adduce a weaker argument, or a stronger proof of the imbecility of their own minds. They do not call in question his Lordship's genius, his mili. tary skill, or experience; because these indispensable requisites for a great Captain have been *acknow ledged even by his and their enemies in the field. The forget that the history of the world furnishes abundance of instances in which distinguished fo. reigners assumed, nay, were invited to take the corn. mand of armies far snore respectable than those of Spain. But are these weak melt prepared to stew s that they can furnish their army with a Captain-Gee neral of their own nation, capable of directing its energies in the tremendous conflict in which they ate engaged? Have they not had many yearsexperiencs of the disasters, disgrace, and ruin, which have at, tended the common interests of the Peninsula and of Europe, in consequence of a want of cordiality is the operations of the armies, or their Generals t We shall dismiss the subject with one short observation; the event which has called forth the illiberal reflec tions of the Spanish Editor, affords a convincing proof that the Nation is regenerating, for the senti ments which he utters are totally incompatible with the great interests which his country has at stake. A Mail reached town this morning from Corunna, in seven days. It brings no intelligence of a promi. nent interest, with the exception of 4 continuation of the rumours that the French are preparing to abandon the Peninsula. The following are extracts from the Papers brought by this conveyance :—. - " CORUNNA, JANUARY 22. " Letters from Villa Franca del Vurgo say, that on the 17th eighty infantry and thirty of the enemy's horse arrived at Astorga, and without doing any in jury left it, taking with them the Constitutional Al cade, Signior Salvadores, and other persons, as hos tages for the payment of the contribution demanded of that city. " In the very streets of Bilboa there has been a terrible slaughter of the French, who, to relate this surprize, burned the bridge. " By persons. arrived from Segovia, we know that znany French troops have marched from Madrid in the direction of Valladolid and Burgos, from whence we are assured the intrusive King was preSting tQ set out on the 23c1 instant," 44 CORUNNA, JANUARY 29. " The intelligence lately in circulation, that the French had arrived at Oviedo, is unfounded; as let+ ten of the 24th state, that nothing new had occurred, not only in that city, but throughout the whole prin cipality ; that they may have arrived at Santander is probable, although we are not sure of it, becanse on the 2d they were, in number 2000, within t 1 league and a half it.
