FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SPAIN. MADRID, OCT. 4. The civil war, which threatens us, is approaching fast. The govern ment, for some time perplexed and uncertain, is now bent on the slop tom of a complete system of terror. This is equally employed against the Liberals and the Apostolic& Our Gazette of Saturday contains the' most bloody and savage decree, by which his Majesty declares subjected to the penalty of death, any of his subjects implicated in plans directed to the establishment of a different form of government, or to the faci litating to the emigrants the means of accomplishing a similar object, or giving them advice& or any sort of communication contrary to the views of his Majesty's government. This sanguinary decree has produced a very different effect to the one intended by the government: it has been received with scorn and indignation, and works powerfully in the public mind towards the desire of a change. Last night a dread. ful occurrence took place r—the Abbot of the convent of Saint Basil was found a corpse in his bed, the bead separated from the body, and a mattress over him. He was a moderate man—he was generally es teemed, and bad °magically preserved many Liberals from the Apos. tolled' wrath. He had lately forbid his own friars to say mass, on ac count of their licentiousness, and it is believed he has been assassinated by them. The King has lately shown some distrust of the Royal* Volunteers. On the first of the mouth, the anniversary of his sore& from Culls, it was customary for them to escort the King daring a pub lic promenade. It has not, however, taken place on the present occa sion. The fact is, that he, as well as his Camara* are in the most terrific and disturbed state. Our Captain General has been dismissed. It is attributed to a misunderstanding with the Minister of War.— Letter is the Herald. EXPRESS FROM PARIS THIS MORNING. The Paris papers of Wednesday, and the Massager des chasebres of Thursday are received. The following are extracts, as given in a second edition tithe Ewald this wording. (From the Meuager of Tbunday.) A telegraphic despatch, sent by the Prefect of the North, from Lille this day, October 12, announces that the Belgians have refused to ad mit into their territory the various detachments of volunteers who are endeavouring to effect an entry. Their gendarmerie and the Urban Guard ate stationed on the frontiers for that purpose. (From the Colutitutionnel of Wednesday.) In the late sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, M. de Tracy Laid the following amendment upon the table of the President of the Chamber. The requiring security from public journals is suppressed. Any jourli nal or journals which shall not, within a month from the date of this notice, pay the tine or floes, to which they may have been condemned, shall cease to exist, and the editor shall be incapacitated from acting as such for any other paper, until the fine has been discharged. The Stamp Duty has been suppressed; it will be replaced by a Patent Duty. The Patents will be divided into two classes, according to the amount of annual subscription, namely, 1,000 francs for those which require a subscription of 60 francs and under, and 2,000 francs for all those who may exceed that sum. The Post-office charge shall be one centime on each small sheet, and two centimes for every large one. This amendment having been proposed upon the first article. it is probable that upon the continuation of the debate it will form the sub ject of 31. Bayou's discourse. From Le Temp of Wed:sudsy. THE APPROACHING ELECTIONS. One hundred and thirty new elections are about to take place. This will be a trial, from which several advantages may be drawn. There will be now afforded an opportunity of judging of the suppression of double votes, and the change with respect to age. A alculation may be made as to the exact measures which ought to be taken for aiding the national welfare. Legislative powers will require more indep enden ce and effect from the moral dm racier of the newly-elected Members, and by the reliance in their exertions in a Chamber not sufficiently numerous to be powerful, and which, heretofore, was content with mere acts of transfer. The re-election or rejection of some of the fano donuts@ will show the force of public opinion, and will make a distinction between such public offices, which the law was unwilling to establish. The Chamber of Deputies thus organised will afford a sure ground of comparison to the Crown, in order to fill up the vault. des in the Chamber of Peers, and which is expected to have the aristo cracy of the age faithfully represented. A budget, the outline of which must be modified in an essential manner, will be carefully prepared, as there has been su ffi ci e nt ti me t o a ff ect that object. The firm verdicts of the juries will tranquillise public opinion, which the apprehension of the laws being abused, and the suspicious conduct of some of the magis trates, has kept in a state of agitation. It is also to be hoped, that the affairs of Belgium will be settled in such a m anner that the Belgians may enjoy alithose national privileges which they are entitled to, and that Europe may have a guarantee for securing a lasting pesee, which all its Oovanmeuts are equally in want of, and which was the principal pound for increasing our army. (From ,Le Moniteur of Wednesday.) Pears, OCT. 12.--To-day, at one o'clock, the King received, in a private audience, his Excellency M. Lam btuschini, .Archbishop of Beryte, who presented to his Majesty the letters of his Holiness tbe Pope, accrediting him in the character of Nuncio of the Holy Apostolic See, at the Court of France. Count Gustave de Loewenhielm, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway,who also presented to his Majesty letters from his sovereign, accrediting him in that character at the Court of France. AI. Lunbruschini and Count de Gustave Loewenhielm were presented to the King byCouotMole, Minister and Secretary of State for the department of Foreign Affabs,who afterwards presented them to the Queen,and Prince, and Princesses of the Royal Family. The same day Colonel Soilage, charged by his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Baden to transmit to the King the reply of his Sovereign to the letter, notifying the acne sion of his Majesty, was also received in a private audience. The Na tional Guard and gendarmerie arrested yesterday in the neighbourhood of Rarnbouillet, 10 or 12 individuals, who are strongly supected of having formed part of the gang which robbed the Nantes mail. They had and upon a man who passed through the forest in the morning. His thigh was broken by the bail. The persons a rre s t e d are we ll known as bad characters. Their object, they said, was to make money. The investi gation continues, and every thing leads us to believe that none of the malefactors will escape public justice. Front La Quotidteane of Wednesday. Letters from Frankfort state that Austria has transtnitteed to M. Ot wrack her Internuncio at Constantinople, a note concerted with the Ca binet, authorising her Minister to advise the Divan to accede to her re quest which will be made by General Guilleminot, to recognise the King of the French ; but on the express condition of the immediate evacuation of Algiers, an evacuation already promised to England. Letters from Stlitgatd announce that, according to the last resolutions of the Germanic Diet, the Wurtemberg contingent for the Army Confederation is being formed. The Casette of Hanover denies eflicially what has been stated in 1100311 OMANI papers, that the public tranquillity had been disturbed. They daily expect the orders of King William IV. to furnish the Hanoverian army with its full cam plettment. The Germanic Diet, at one of its last sittings, voted the min of 10,732 florins for the expenses of quartering the Austrian troops, who, on the Ist of November next, will arrive at Mayence. S (From the Journal du Commerce of Wednesday.) The Prefect of Bouches.du.lthone has made known that the Consul. General of Austria at Marseilles has received an official despatch, an. bouncing that his Government has recognised that of Louis Philip I. We are not yet in possession of such information at Paris. Frogs the Courier Frames& qf Wednesday. Disturbances took place in the City of Breslau on the 28th Sept. but they were ptumptly suppressed by the Burgher Guard and the garrison. No person was killed or wounded, but many houses, Inhabited by Jews, had the windows broken. Disorders of the same kind broke out at Manheim on the 24 Oct. They were also directed against the Jews, and were quickly suppressed.

This question is of the highest importance, foe it comprehends the fun amanita point of the system of government. It cannot, therefore, be sufficiently bed and examined. In th e first what is understood by a federative state P—lt is the union of many states or political powers, consecrated by treaties or con slitutions, which connect, more or less, their interests together. It results from this definition that the wad " federative" has only a rogue sense es long as one does not express in what the federation con suns. Is It composed of sovereign 'tams, or only of erevinces not move reign in their territory, which would have their internaladministration with provincial states, but subject. as to the rights of sovereignty, to the general interests of the country—to the General Assembly of the States? This should be dearly understood. We must suppose that it cannot be contemplated amongst us to con stitute each of the provinces of Belgium a separate sovereignty, united by a treaty of federation, as the old republic of Holland was formed ; forkre should soon experience the troubles and divisions which were the principal cause of the deecv of the latter states. Alf one afterwards examines, :with reference to Internal government, the consequences which result from this division of a country into little sovereignties, we shall meet with difficulties at every step. Should it be proposed to execute some great undertaking, such as the construc tion of canals, roads, &c. it would be necessary to obtain the consent of all the provinces through which the canals must proceed. One of those provinces, however, is interested in preventing the execution of these undertakings whic h are useful to the interests of the country, and opposes it. There are no means of extorting consent but by war. The enlargement of the canal from Brussels to Wellebroeck might be an instance of the truth of this assertion. Antwerp is evidently in terested in preventing the port of Brussels from receiving vessels capa ble of performing long voyages, although Southern Brabant, Hainault, and Namur. would derive advantage from it. Fresh difficulties present themselves with respect to taxes, charges, national property—such as fortresses, their maintenance, their defence, he ; and even with respect to the booty taken from the enemy. Let us remember, that at the commencement of the 17th century, when Holland had hardly gone through half the period of war which she endured in order to obtain her emancipation, troubles arose between Holland and the six other provinces. Holland contended that each pro vince should exercise sovereign power in its own territory, and that thenceforth the other provinces should net be permitted to Interfere with what was done in her territory. These unfortunate discussions were continued during the duration of the republic with more or less in. convenience. Scarcely had the republic of Holland obtained the recognition of the state as a republic before new disputes arose because the Dutch pro. vince wished not to adopt the resolution agreed upon by the other states relative to the disbanding of troops. The dispute was carried to such an extremity that arms were resorted to, and the city of Amsterdam inundated the country around to a considerable extent, as a defence against the army, preferring to subject itself to a considerable injury rather than submit. It was likewise owing to internal troubles chiefly occasioned by the dissidence of the provinces, that Holland found it impossible to support her fleets, and that in the war of 1780 her commerce and her colonies became the spoil of the enemy. Let us then reject every measure, every proposition, which may lead to rivalries and disorders. The President Henrion de Pansey is right in saying that municipal authority is unknown in France. He desires to create it :it is the wish of the nation. However, Belgium, although formed of provinces not sovereign, each separate province may adopt the municipal system in every thing which concerns the internal administration of each of them. Thus cities would have their magistracy appointed by the inhabitants ; they would regulate their expenses they would have their Internal ad ministration. The provinces would thus have their States nominated by the inhabitants, with authority for all the province. Thus would be united the advantages of intentsl liberty and external force, in sup. port of enterprises which require the concurrence of all parts of the nation. J. B. STEVENS, Advocate.

With reference to the commission intrusted with the preparation of a constitution for Belgium, and to propose an ordinance to regulate the elections of a national convention. Taking into consideration that the conven:ion summoned to determine with respect to the interests of Belgium ought to be a true national re. presentation, it is therefore now necessary to adopt a direct and liberal system of election ; " Nevertheless, taking into consideration that circumstances demand the prompt assembling of the convention, end that a system of election which should retain nothing of the foundation of the ancient electoral system would occasion delay, and that the mode of election in which we shall now is only temporary, " It is " I.

The new magistrates congratulated these ele the hePPY revolution, which had regenerated the magistracy, mid restored to jus. dim its lustre. The members of the bar summoned to take put to tke Court end Tribunal de Premiere instance were presented to the old ' magistrates still retained, who received them with the utmost cordiality. The assembly was extremely numerous. The corps of muds, the amps of balmier% in full arouse, assumed the places appointed for them. The members of the bar reassembled in their usual place of meeting.; At eleven o'clock the cortege quitted the grand saloon, and pro ceeded according to the order indicated by the programme to the ball of audience in the Cuur de Cessation. A numerous assemblage of the public filled the galleries and occupied the hall. The greatest order prevailed, and was not broken for an iustant- The court and the tribunals being seated, M. de Guteheneree, the pre sident, declared the court opened, and directed the principal registrar of the court to read the decrees of the Provisional Goverunent, which in stitute the court and tribunals, and recompose their persona/. The Registrar-in-Chief read these decrees, and, under the direction of the President, proceeded to call over the names of the members of the Court and Tribunals. All the members of the Court answered the call, except Messrs. Counsellors La Cone, brother of the ex-Minister, and Ipperseel, who sent a medical certificate. M. l'Avocat-General Baum. hazer, absent, and M. Geller, Commis-Greffier, sick, in consequence of a wound received on the days of Sept.

M. le Juge Deboune and M. le Substitut Morel.- All the members of the Tribunal de Commerce, answered the call except Messrs. Previnaire and Grellet, absent from town, and M. Van Gelder, absent on the public service. M. Petirjean, Premier Avocat-General, addressed the Court at some length, on the subject of the late revolution, and, in conclusion, invited the President to proceed to the installation of the court and tribunals. M. is President expressed himself in the following terms:— " Gentlemen,—Justice is the foundation of society: public tranquil lity rests upon this basis. Nothing contributes more to the prosperity of states than a pure and speedy administration of justice ; it secures order, union, and peace ; it is, as has been observed by M. le Premier Avocet-general, the most stable support of all government. " The Provisional Government, which preserves us from anarchy, has had the sagacity to perceive this great truth it has rendered a most important service to the nation, by making the administration of justice the object of its earliest cares, and by preventing the evils which a longer obstruction of its progress must necessarily produce. We offer up the most ardent prayers that our fine country may speedily enjoy all the pre cious advantages which ought to be the result of this wise proceeding, and that it may attain all the happiness of which it is so worthy. " In the discharge of the duties assigned to us, we shall continue to use all our efforts to perpetuate the reign of the laws, and the indepen dence of the Magistracy : in order to accomplish an object so desirable, we confidently reckon upon the zeal and constant co-operation of our , beloved and honourable colleagues. " We declare, that the Court and the Tribunals de Premiere Instance and de Commerce, of Brussels, are installed." SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Catosici.z.—We learn from a gentleman of honour and veracity, arrived from Belgium, that the Provisional Government maintained its popularity, and that the Belgian army was daily receiving reinforcements, and completing its organisation. The amount of armed force at the command of the Provisional Government had already attained to nearly eighty thousand men, completely equipped, and nothing less than the conquest of all the Belgian towns would satisfy the demands of these patriots. Throughout Belgium good order and tranquillity prevailed. Neither arms nor provisions were wanting. So much for the misrepre sentations of the present state of Belgium and Brussels, put forth, with " vain" design, in the Government Newspapers. The enthu siasm said to prevail in Holland for the Royal cause is much exag gerated. Cniontcx.r.—Our belief in the preservation of peace rests on the inability of the powers of the Continent to go to war. Those mote immediately concerned may bear no good will to the new order of things in France, and under any other circumstances than the present would have entered Belgium, but they dread their own subjects more than the danger from the new order of things. While, however, we rely on the embarrassments of the Powers, and the pacific disposition of the Duke of Wellington (who is known to have made strong repre sentations to the French Government against the allowing Frenchmen to take part in the affairs of Belgium), we cannot shut our ears to the language of individuals connected with the foreign em. busies here. They urge that these Governments are beset with dangers, and that the example of successful resistance is producing effects which win drive them to desperate courses. They urge, too, that Russia is like the devil at the ear of a sinner, constantly tempting them to accept her aid. The Russian Government is under a sort of neces sity of making war. The army cannot be with safety left in peace ; and the Russian landholders are notoriously disaffected. On the other hand, the Germans would to a man rise, were the Russians to attempt to cross their own frontiers. However, the principal difficulty is to come. We shall soon see how Austria conductshaself in her trials. I t cannot have escaped the most obtuse observer, that much of the present embarrassment in the political world arises from the mixing up family affairs with matters of government. For instance, the connection of the Stadtholder with Prussia led to the invasion of Holland, under the countenance of Eng. land, at the commencement of the French Revolution. At this time, the connection of the Prince of Orange with Russia is also a source of alarm. Thus the nations of Europe are considered as so many family estates. Well might Jefferson exclaim, on the invasion of Holland by Prussia, that this system of a separate Royal carte, of which the families marry only into each other, is pregnant with dreadful evils !'think only ors whole Continent being involved in war on account of a single famill I -lf this be the age of intellect, it is also the age of quackery. We have all sorts of new and strange projects devised and submitted for public encouragement daily, upon the most generous, noble, and disinterested principles, the beginning, middle, and end of , which are explained by the one word, subscription. Among the most recent of the ingenious contrivances, which me to afford John Bull the pleasure of patriotically getting rid of some of his superfluous cash, is the design of erecting a " national monument" to Shakspeare. Now if ever there existed a writer, whose " name should be his monument alone," it is the Bard of Avon, whose works are as imperishable as the lan guage which they enrich and adorn. Well might he have exclaimed at the close of his immortal labours, like the Roman poet, but with a more jus tified confidence in the eternity of his own fame Bugg ma . sueseshias sera perennius I But there are, among the great and alio. eat classes of this country, many who would readily subscribe to raise • statue to a celebrated poet or artist when dead, who would not be equally generous to promote his interests when living. This is the country, be it remembered, in which Dryden, who certainly next after Shakspeare and Milton, was the greatest and most original poet th.tt England has produced, died in a state of abject poverty ; the country in which Otway and Butler—the one never surpassed in pathos, the other never rivalled in humour—perished of absolute want. Even the Scotch, who are now so enthusiastic in paying posthumous honours to the indig nant shade of the inspired and neglected Burns, allowed that ex quisite master of the Dale reed to accept the unpoetic livery of an exciseman, or starve. In short, the spirit that stimu lates men to ite a display of their veneration tor departed genius, while they are negligent of living merit, is not a generous sympathy for mental worth, but an ostentatious affectation of patronage, which vanity alone inspires. Of this vanity there are always cunning and needy pro. ' jeetora ready to take advantage, who convert it into the prolific source of " jobs." We admire not the " liberality" of the post marten peeress of genius, as they may be called. They deny the means of living to those to whom they afterwards erect a tomb. They are literally of that elms who " are asked for bread., and give a stone l' They would not put oot a hand to assist the noblest nature that was ever born to extend and adorn the empire of literature or the arts, while it struggled for a great renown with adverse fortune and the ills of life—but when its glo rious agonies have terminated, when it has reached the heights of its intellectual ambition, and achieved immortal fame, then they come forward to obtrude their assistance where it is no longer required. Talk, indeed, of a subsaiption for a national mo nument to Shakspeare_a poet whose fame, pursuing its own career, without any aid but what was derived horn its own intrinsic excel lence, has become so resplendent and universal, that we migh t almost with as much reason talk of r a i s i ng a monument to the sun ! a monu ment connected with the fine arts is said to be wanted, we deny it. One of the noblest monuments of that kind ever raised to the memory of a poet was the splendid work known by the name of " Boydell's Steak speare." That was not, however, the work of a little junta propping their spurious generosity upon a public subscription. It emanated from the energies and resources of the truly pauiotic and public-spirited in dividual by whom it was devised and executed. To accomplish that work, he.called upon the talents of such artists as Sir Joshua Reynolds, Nortbcote, Fusel', &c. What sort of patronage did the public give it ? Until this as be satisfactorily answered, it woold be better to be silent another " national monument to Shakspeare." Ttrocs.—The pamphlet published a few web ago, and entitled, " What has the Duke of Wellington pined by the Dissolution r made, as is recollected, and as the author intended, a noise is the poli tkal world. Prom the resolute,—ney, Germ party spirit in which it was campseed, and the acute and sarcastic power exhibited is every pep of it, there was little probability that the Foramens et ministers would take altogether without resistance the chastisemeat inflicted on them by the anther.
