The abase which the opposition journals do not fear to make of our explanations on the affairs of the East, cannot divert us front the. duty of scrupulously enlight ening the &bile on such iesportant interests. We con tinue to oppose facts to passions, and well supported conjectures to foolish illusions. Peace and order we 0, istionmely caws:tag is %elope since 1814, thm need not be surprised at having to defend them ekes; notly againit 'dyer sae ier "rho are always the same, who on their side understand too well that wars and revolu tions are also intimately connected. This double situa tion explains their language and ours; it reveals the aciet of their fears or their desires, mid at the same time of the foresight of the Cabinets. Considering, under this point of view, the general affairs, we understand the part acted by the Opposition and the wisdom of the Governments. Men who have any memory may judge whether, during the last fourteen years, nations have been deceived by the organs of power or by those of its adversaries. The pass advises them to place all con fidence in the future; events are in our favour. This eloquence is much better than phrases. It is thus that, taking care to place before the eyes of our readers the isms, more or less favourable, which we received ham Constantinople, we have taken the precaution to warn them that it was advisable to expect in such negotia tions, cm such grounds and with such adversaries, nume rous akernatises which might delay the denoremeni, bet cannot prevent its attainment. We call to mind the conferences at Akerman, full of incidents of the same kisd of impotent resistances, of false sallies, of hesita liens of every kind, and which ended abruptly with the maple* acceptance of the Russian Ultimatum. Them must know very little of the history of the Ottoman diplomacy and the character of the Turkish motion who have not foreseen all those difficulties (fa• feu), and show some alarm or surprise at them : it is the nature of things and places, the want of foresight in these who are surprised at them. At the moment when we speak, the Ambassadors have not quitted Constantinople; thus this argument fails those who make use of it as a presage of war. But we will not tree leave them a pretext.. Let us suppose with them that the Ambassadors have departed: what is this departure, according to the terms of the Treaty of the 6th of July, which Is the only certain and inva. stable basis of all possible conjectures respecting the affairs of the East ? For the Powers do not, and will apt ever desire, jointly er severally, - any thing more than they have already desired, viz to succour Immo sky, to stop the effusion of blood, without capacity; my indemnity besi. es the gratitude of the victims, the tardy admiration of history, and the protection of Htst who watches over Kings. • to what manner does this make a war ?

As for the object of the intervention, which was an* never will be any other than to stop the effusion of; blood—this object will certainly be attained de fad if it is not yet'de jure. The armistice will exist by the fact that the channels through which reinforcements can be received are closed, the combat will !girl fr. want of cOmbatants. This is the object of the treaty.

This is the programme of the external policy, and of the diplomatic foresight of the opposition for these seven years, day by day, and with the proofs its hand. Against such adversaries, are we wrong to chew some assurance—to trust to the event, and to appeal even now froth their doubts and their at tacks, not only to oar readers, but even to their own ? Assuredly our perseverance in reproducing the same priecipleo, in supportiog the same guarantees, and in ploying the same words for the same cause, fatigues our opponents; this may be conceived; people are not always in the wrong with a good grace; accordingly we rant them much indulgence for the forms of their polarities, which cannot affect ours in any respect. The idfisiter& precedes and prepares !iamb it must adhere, to its language, always be grave and moderate. Nothing' make it renounce it. But our indulgence for the words of our adversaries cannot eitend to deceitful doe. trifles or filse'assertions. Our ditty is to point them out and to refute deem. We shall always do it with ai mock Imoderatiou as good faith. 31ADRID. Dm. to. • • . • rata/kilt coaaaawowairms, The First Regiment of the Guards has set out for Barcelona. The Minister' of War having to send to Ciralooia three Regiments of Provincial Militia, three others art being organized, and are going to be placed [ on active service. The million of piasters from the Havannab, which are expected from Cadiz, will arrive very seasonably to cover not only this expense, but also that of a little flotilla, which is to convey a rein forcement of troops to the isle of Cuba.. Nothing is yet decided respecting the return of their Majesties to this capital; but the general opinion is, th,t it %ill not be before the month of Mitch, becau►e the Queen is to pass i through Saragossa, and before that time the season will be too severe, and the roads too bad, for the accom plishment of her vow to the Virgin del Pilar. The trovernmeot of tbt United States of North Artie tics, knowing how much ours is in want of ready money and wbat sacs:Aces it daily makes to obtain it, offers a certain soft to oar Cabinet, not by way of loan, and still less as a present, but in exchange for certain privi leges for its merchantmen in the isle of Cuba. Our two last Gareltes make nu mention of the insurgents in Cataloaiit. PERPIGNAN, Disc. 15. Jep dell Estangs bas been at Perpignan for these two days. He is a man advanced in years, in complete despondency, without any thing in his external appear ance corresponding with his reputation, and he appears destitute of all resources. The official pact of the Moniteur contains two Royal ordinances: " 1. Tae rates of postage drawn up by the Directors of the Post office, according to the law of the 15th of March, 1827, are approved. "2. The Departmental College of the Jura is con voked for the sth of Feb. 1828, to choose a Deputy, in the room of Sieur Nicol de Rouchand,deceased:' CORFU, Mc. 6. General Church has left his position in the Mores, and passed to Dragouteste, in Acarnania, at the head of 5,000 men. The Capitani of that district, who bdd provisionally submitted to the Turks, join him, and hi 4 camp becomes daily more strong. There is no Turkish force in that quarter, except the garrison of Missolonghi, amounting. nitls that of Anatolie°, to from 5 to 500 men, who cannot subsist lung, as General Church has cut off their communication with Arta and Prevesa. Passengers who arrived yesterday from the Continent affirm that Chiutahi (the Seraskier, Pacha of Janina and Aninelia) had issued an order to all the Turks of his province, exhorting them to be armed, and to sleep clothed, booted, and with arms in band, to be ready for every contingency. They add, besides, that the Sultan has deposed Chiutahi, having appointed in his stead another, who is to come from Constantinople. The motive of this change is not known; some say that' ' Chiutahi has been found fraudulent in his accounts with the Treasury; others that he is to be called to Constan tinople to be rewarded, and to be made Capitan Pacha. We daily expect to hear of the fall of Scio, since Colonel Fabvier has possession of all the open country, and t h e enemies in the fortress, sassing want of pro- visions, had begun to treat for a capitulation.• The siege of Candi* continues ; an expedition also• hiss taken place against Negropoat. lbrithiee Poch* remains quiet its Modon, suffering trader great went of provisions,, and waiting anxiously for orders from his father and the Sultan to leave the country which has been so fatal to him.

In the absence of the Minister of Finance, a question arose, whether the Chamber should proceed to the dis cussion of the Resolution of the Committee•of Public Credit on the subject of the Loan proposed by the House of Wilson and Co. or should continue that of the War Estimates, the Minister of that Department being then in his place. The entrance of the Minister l of Finance put an end to this debate, and the Resolu tion of the .CoMmittee was iniitaidiately read to the Chamber. • Of this Resolution, the following are the concluding propositions : Ist.—The Government shall be authorised to accept the proposal made by the House of Wilson and, Drake, or any other that shall offer greater advantages, subH ject to the following conditions: 2d. Fust,, the Gov.ernaient shall receive in seedy money, or.in-biUr, payable in London, provided the contracting patty can offer them with the necessary se curity, from one million and a half to two millions 01 dollars. Secondly, the Government shall receive the same amount in its own paper, properly recognised and authenticated, at or below the rate of .56 per cent. Thirdly, Tobacco credits shall, amongst other Govern ment paper money, be also received in payment, Pro vided they be likewise property recognised and authen ticated. Sd. This Llats shall be repaid in the maritime Custom Houses, by the theirs proceeding from gtods imported by the contracting party, at the rate of one hunctred thousand Jolla's per month, commencing from the Ist of January, 1828, and also by tf,e proceeds of the to bacco revenue, itt one of the States of the Republic, to be hereafter nominated by the Government. 4th. The Government engage, under the strictest responsibility. to apply the proceeds of this Loan eaclu. sively to the following objects : I.t. The payment of the Dividends aaclliabiog Fund in London. 2d. The payment of returned bills. Sd. Payment of arrears of salaries and Diplomatic expenses. 4th. Payment of the Tobacco Farmers. The Itesolut , on having beta read, the Chamber pro ceeded to discuss the first proposition, which was, how ever, returned to die Committee for revision. _ _ AILTAACT 07 A LITTER, DAT= Ammo, OCT. 12. A conducta will be dispatched tarly • next week for Vera Crux, and will take abolt $OO.OOO dollars on merchants' account ) and not a dollar for Government. The Loan oith Bating is of, anti Governnient is in great difficulties ; and unless a 'pan can be made with the Mexicans, 'recourse must be bad to forced supplies, and we fear the dividends in Lnpdon will not be paid. Baringshave advanced 130,00.1. stet big, and threaten, unless they be soon covered, to throw up the business ; and unless some improvement takes place speedily, I should not be surpti.ed to see Mexican Stock fah like Colombian. Yesterday newt arrived from Jalapa of a disturbance among vie troops which have not been paid, and last night the troops hire were under arms, and a whole regiment in the Palace. 1 hate not heard of there having been any thing disccrveied calling I for such a measure, which was, most likely, only precautionary : but it sbews that all is not right, and chews great distrust on the part of the Govern ascot. That some change will take place here, is, I think, certain, and, I fear, not without a struggle.— Party spirit runs higher than ever, and the State of Mexico. has passed a law against the Spaniards, but 4, is not sanctioned by the Federal Congress. A reprfl has been in circulation, since the arrival of the news of Mr: Canning's death,that England was to loin with the rest of Europe togive these countries solidity by making them independent and monarchical, and tric Mexico a Bourbon is to mount the throne. This cannot be true. England cannot forget her honour and interest so much as to assist in placing a Bourbon in power here, when, by calling these countries into political existence, her object was to curtail their power. Disturbances have taken place to the south west, and few of the Sum can pay their shares to the public purse. There is no confidence, and - trade is not worth mentioning. We all have our stores crammed with goods, but there are not any buyers ; the Spaniards are afraid to buy, and the Mexicans have no money, and we will not give credit. It—is horribly dull, and in six. months more I shall be sick of this 'place. Six yeare-vesLienee here sickens . mie of Republics.

We ate fully assured, that liou rExcellency could intend nothing 'which could destroy or diminish our constitutional privileges. wi:bout which we cannot fulfil our important duties towards his Ma .l jesty and his people of this Province; and in this per. anion, we in all humility submit to lour Excellency that it is the incontestible right of the Commons of this , Province, to have the free election of one of their moo. hers to be their Speaker, and pet form the duty of their House. That the Speaker so elected, and afterwards presented •to the King's Rrpresentutive according to ;sage, ought always, is Imitate practice, to be coo.

For which reasons - we humbly hope that your Excellency, after having considered the old precedents, would be pleased to remain sati-fied with our proceedings, and not deprive us of the services of the said Louis Joseph Papineau, as our speaker,but that your Excellency would be pleased mime us a fa vourable answer, such as his Majesty and his Royal pre• decessors have ever given to their faithful Commons in such cases, in order that we may be enabled to proceed, without further delay, to the dispatch il the important and arduous affairs for which we are convoked.- in which we hope to give convincing proofs of our affec tions for the King's service, and of our solicitude for die peace and welfare of this province." On the List the Resolutions were proposed , and se conded: ' Ist. That it is necessary, for the discharge of the dw. ties imposed by the house, to give its advice to his MO jesty on the enactment for the laws, lot 4he peace, wel fate, and good government of the provinces, conforma bly to the Act of British Parliament, under which it is constituted and assembled. • 2.

That this House dolls persist in its choice, and that the said 'antis Joseph Papinean, Esq. ought to be. and is its Speaker.
