AFFAIRS OF SPAIN. PERPIGNAN, SEPT. 13.—. Few towns present a scene of greater in tercet than Perpignan does at the present moment; it hai become, as it were, the rendezvous of every well-wisher to Spanish freedom. The streets and coffee-houses are crowded with the victims of Ferdinand's tyranny, who arc hourly pouring in from all quarters, anxious to partici pate in the glorious work of the regeneration of Spain. In this town, as well as In all the smaller villages along the line of the Pyrenees, are established boards of commissioners, whose duty it is to insert the names and rank of those who offer their service, to see that those who possess no means of their own are provided with provisions, and finally to procure arms and uniforms for the soldiers. It is difficult to form a correct estimate of the number of men from Spain and other quarters, who have already rallied round the Spanish standard. Some say they amount to at least sight thousand, whilst others, who have equal facilities of acquiring information, would lead you to imagine they did not exceed half that number. But their partisans on the other side of the Pyrenees who only await their entr► into Spain to join them, comprise the entire enlightened portion of the Spanish population. With an infatuation which it Is scarcely possible to account for,Ferdinand and his own satellites have become the best friends to the cause of liberty in Spain,by the measures of excessive and uncalled-for severity they have of late thought fit to adopt. Instead of endeavouring at the present moment to conciliate as much as possible the good-will of the people, on which their very existence depends, they are goading them on toads of violence by the most unheard.of tyranny. If three persons are seen walking through the streets of Barcelona together, they are immediately separated. No individual is allowed to be from home after 8 o'clock in the evening, and the theatre and coffee-houses are dosed. All this is done at the instigation of the worthy repro. sentative of biz master, "PI Conde de Espana.' Scarcely a day elapses but some unfortunate being is executed on account of his political opinions. The priests acquire at the oonfessiood, front the deluded victims of the superstition they have instilled into their minds, a knowledge of the political tenets their friends and relatives profess, and with a wickedness, to designate which no epithet can be sufficiently strong, exultingly cany this information to headquarters; and thus, often, a mother unconsciously becomes the assassin of her child, a wife of her husband, and a sister of her bro ther ! The persons in whom most confidence appears to be re posed by the Spaniards in this town are Colonel Glade and Senor Miguel. To the former, you will recollect, in 1823. the MM. mend of the last fast hold of the Spaniards, the Trocadero, was intrusted ; he is a man of tried courage, and by no means deficient in military talent. The latter was Minister for Foreign Affairs in 1829; it was he who took the decisive step, for which so many cooler and deeper politicians blamed him, of tendering to the Ambassadors who called on him to effect some changes in the con- stitution, their passports. His abilities, although perhaps of rather a lighter order, are far from contemptible, and I believe him to be a man of unimpeached honour and integrity. After those two, Co lonel Miranda, who was chief of Mina's staff In 1823, is the most conspicuous. No opposition whatever baa been hitherto shown by the French au thorities to the Spaniards : they are allowed to psis even in bodies from town to town unnoticed. If this tacit sanction of their opera tions on the part of France is likely to continue, I appre. hcnd the Spaniards on this side of the Pyrenees will wait until some commotion has taken place in Spain before they enter. Should the reverse, however, be the case, they would immediately cross the fron tiers, and become as it were a rallying point for their countrymen. Their expectations of success are most sanguine, and when the dif ferent bearings of their case are duly weighed, the scale of probabl. Hiles must preponderate in their favour. No country is more favoured by Nature than Spain ; she yields, almost without toil, two harvests a year to the agriculturists; her peasants are the finest in the world, her people proverbially generous, temperate, and open-hearted. The pro. claination, purporting to have issued from the Regency, of which a trans. lation appeared in your paper, is disclaimed by the Spaniards here. Not one of those mm whose names I have mentioned were parties to it: they know Ferdinand too well to think he looks upon an oath u sacred or bind. ing. It would be the height of madness to repose confidence in a man who invariably betrayed those who trusted in his honour t to expect that by • gradual course of reform the Spanish nation could be restored to hap. pines' and prosperity is preposterous. The system is corroded to its very vitals. It is not the suppression of one or two obnoxious laws that can satisfy the Spaniards; the Government must be remodelled from its very foundation. Since I have commented my letter, four Mars, in plain at. tire, have been seen walking through the streets; they have endeavoured to bribe several of the Spanish addict' to join their party s they ofered each man three pesetas a.day, about Its. Gd. On being recognised, they' immediately quitted the town. In abouteight days I think operations will have commenced. 111 Ina enters Spain by Bayonne; it is said be is accompanied by several Englishmen. The veteran Milan', although he has lost the use of one side by a paralytic stroke, is resolved on following the army to Spain ; he is expected here every day. To whom the command in chief of the army will be confided, is not yet known. We have received French Papers to the 22d inst. They afford no intimation on the progress of the Revolution, in addition to what we communicated yesterday. A letter from Algiers will be found in the extracts, which gives an interesting account of the position of the French in Africa PARIS, BLS'S. 21.-41 great number of bills, drawn by persons in the colonies on houses in France, have not been accepted by those houses. Some merchants have even stated the grounds of their refusal to accept, which is founded on the creel that will be produced is the colonies by the news qf the events qf July. This circumstance ought to interest the Minister of Marine more than ever in those establish. mints, which are threatened with an approaching abb. No reason, as it seems to us, ought to have delayed the departure of M. Dupont, who is appointed Governor of Martinique. This General Men will not reach his destination till after the troubles. BAY OF ALGIERS, SEPT. 4.—We have conformed here, as In France, to the new order of things. In the marine, as well as in the several corps, there is a unanimity of sentiment—as there was before, with some rare exceptions, unanimity of national opinions. It has not been quite the same among the officers of the army. However, the arrival of Gen.Clausel now makes everybody sing in thesame key. The Marshal departed on the 3d in the evening, on board a wretched mercantile brig belonging to theCommiseary.general ; he had applied te the admiral fors man of wsr,who sent back answer,that if it was togo tarance,he was ready toiplace at hie disposal any shtp that might suit him; but that he did not think himself authorised to give him one if it was his inten tion to go to a foreign country. Two hours after this answer be embarked with only his two moos, one of whom was almost in a dying state, and sailed, it is said, for Mahon in the evening of the same day. At the moment of his departure a violent storm hung over the city. It was by the flashes of the lightning that we saw the with* sails of the brig, which was conveying to a distance from ue this new Marius. The most insensible hearts could not but be moved at so rapid a change in the fortunes of him who just before commanded an army of 30,000 men, and whose slightest desires were commands for the crowd of couniers, who are always to be met with in the camp as well as the Court. In the day of his misfortune his sons were his sole attendants. It was high time for a Chief of firm mind to come and take the reins here. It is impossible to form an idea of the general demoralization, the consequence of complete idleness, and of the diseases which are the consequences of it under so sultry a sky. M. de Bourman he left plenty of business for his successor, as well to re-co:pulse the army as to amain the mu which the Bey of Tlttery declared against him some days before his departure. The Bey threatens to come at the heed of 200,009 men, to punish our spoliation, and to revenge himself for our bed faith. In his Manifesto, which I have read, be appoints a Place of rendezvous very near Algiers. " There," be says in conclusion, " we may meet face to face; if it is his will, it is well; If It ls hods k is bad ; 000 is great !" However, this African bragging has caused some laceration to be taken, which were not thought of before. The Oe. , final sleeps every night is the midst of their divisions; beanies And redoubts protect our lines ; and now the ha ug hty Bey may awns with his pretended two hundred thousand men without frightening 14 . Conquerors as we are, the country is far from Waugh* to su and from being pacified. Col. fireabeville, of the Id light ment, and the Paymaster, were assassinated ten days ago a few hundred I paces from our outposts. These are the results of the system which has been adopted towards these savages, who take moderation for fear or weakness. We are sometimes very ridiculous with our due principles of philanthropy, which we try to accommodate to all climates, all nations, and all condition. We shall see the coosequinces. I shall be at Toulon when you receive this letter. Al. Massimo de Oakville re mains bee with a small division ; all the rest of the squadron returns successively to France. Titicsriu..—By the Jack otter Lantern, from Angra, to Southamp ton, private letters and files of the Models do Terceira have been re. celved. To the contents of the latter, devoid as they are of features of general importance, some interest is nevertheless attached; inasmuch as they clearly point out the spirit of liberal improvement which prevails in that solitary bulwark of Portuguese loyalty, and prove that the par. deans of Donna Maria, duly appreciate the benefits of Constitutional li berty, by their endeavours to bring into action, as much as their cir cumstances permit, the dispositions of that Charter, to which in fact the name of their Sovereign is bat a seal, and without which their loyalty were but the devotedness of fruitless heroism. The Decrees of the Regency, circumscribed as they are in their effects by the limited extent of the territory which owns their sway, also afford a striking con. trast to the retrogressive spirit which pervades the acts of the imbecile despot of the Tagus. The Regency have directed their attention to the external relations as well as the internal regulations of the island. They have established as equality of rates of customs for all nations, and have allowed the importation of tobacco, which, notwithstanding the existing monopoly (which it is their intention to abolish as soon as circumstances will permit, as they have already done with regard to soap) may be sold by the government contracter at the prices named by the owners and on their account. The late abundant harvest having amply provided for the maintenance ef the inhabitants during the ensuing year, the Re gency have permitted the exportation of wheat of last year's growth, and a cargo is about to leave the island. At the same time they are endeavouring to improve the moral and social condition of its in.l habitants. New regimental schools have been opened; the public medical establishments have been placed on more salubrious and com fortable footing ; and what is of more importance, open courts of jus tice have been substituted to the inquisitorial forms of Portuguese jurisprudence. The introduction of trial by jury is also contemplated. The first public sitting of the General Court of Justice was held at Angie, on the 9th of August, and, from the novelty of the thing, and importance of the innovation. was most numerously attended. What wig appear rather extraordinary, if we consider the supposed &sandal state of the Regency is, that they have ordered the cancellation of 201,270 U 400 reis (allowing a discount of 10 per cent. and at par, about =AIL sterling,) paper money, and the notes were publicly destroyed. be one of its Decrees the Regency declare the Government of Donna Made will not recognise as valid any contract, into which Don Miguel may have entered with either natives of Portugal, or foreigners, since April 28th, 1828, and which may in any manner affect the revenues of Porta. gal. In this they act consistently with their principles, but the justice and even the expediency of a similar declaration may well be questioned, more especially as it relates to other nations. The private knees inform us of the appearance of our two frigates off Angra, on the 22d August, The Briton approached the port and fired a gun, upon which a boat put out from Angra, with one of Count Villa Floes Aid-de-limps, the English Vice Consul, and a pilot. On coming alongside the Briton, they were asked whether the blockading squadron was off the Island ? and having answered in the affirmative, an apology was made for not allowing them to come on board, as it would be an lama. don et the rules of the blockade, and they were informed that MK Mlaof.war had been ordered to that station by Government, to prelme its traders against the piratical acts of Don Miguel's cruisers. The frigates were seen on the same evening to communicate with the blockading squadron, and have since been constantly off the land. Oa the 30th of August, one of them made a nearer approach, and exercised the men at their great guns, making use of a group of rocks, called the Fradinhos, for • mark. The Portuguese complain of the aistenes of ear frigates on the station, as they say they indirectly tend to strengthen the blockade, for when seen by a vessel making for the island, they are naturally taken for the blockading squadron, and are consequently ob. jects of alarm. The anniversary of the discomfiture of the expedition against Villa de Praia, was celebrated with great demonstrations of joy, and when the news of the French Revolution was communicated by the Jack &the Lantern, the island was one general scene of rejoicing. The volunteers particularly distinguished themselves, the French nodes, the national guard, and the Di-coloured flag, were the objects of *sit alas. The Captain of the schooner reports he was chased by a Per. tuguese frigate in company with a British man.of.war. The suspicious appearance of the Jack o'tbe Lantern may account for the latter dram. stance, as information has been communicated to our vessel of the prowling of a suspicions looking schooner, in the environs of the Asores....Plyousa Jouroal. SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Tritze.—There is the prospect of a commercial treaty between France and England, as $ consequence of the late change of dynasty, and of the recent appointment of an Ambassador in the person of Prince Talleyrand. It must be gratifying to the friends of liberal cow menial principles in both countries, to hair of any intended change of a system which limits the trading intercourse of the two greatest com mercial nations which ever existed,--of nations too, whose ports are almost within sight of each other,—to the paltry exchange of less than 2,000,0001. sterling a year. Thom are, however, other prejudices than those of monarchs to be renseved, and other interests than tee of po litical economists to be consulted, before so reasonable a proposal can be carried into effect. It was the dynasty of the French iron-founders or cotton-manufacturers, and not of the Bourbons, which lately op posed the greatest obstacles to a relaxation of the French restrictive system ; and unless this is overthrown likewise, the new (tarter, which gives internal liberty, will not confer an immediate liberty en foreign trade. Tintze.—The aisle in the laslfiof the Netherlands will not remain long undecided. The proclamation of Prince Frederick, the Commander. in-Chief of the Belgic army, to the inhabitants of Brussels, leaves their Burgher Guards no alternative but submission to his command, or re. sista:tee to his troops. It is now upwards of three weeks since be ar rived at ViWeide, within five miles of the capital, with a considerable force. There be consented, along with his br oth er, to remain till the ef. feet of the negociadon was tried. During the interval—from the let to the 21st inst.—the Government has shown the greatest forbearance, and made the most important concessions. In short, the King, in order to satisfy his disaffected subjects, has do.e every thing which be could per. form in his executive capacity, and is now consulting with the meeting of the States of his kingdom, what both can do in their legislative cha ncier. This legal and constitutional mode of proceeding ought to sa. thiy all those reasonable chimes who really desired $ redress of grlev. axes, and had no ulterior object. Those, on the other hand, who wined themselves under the pretext of putting down tumult, but with the real design of dismembering the kingdom, most now throw off the mask of patriotic guardians of tranquillity, and enter on the dangerous path of rebellion, or submit to the King% authority. The Sth and 7th articles of the Prince's manifesto are decisive on this point. The report which has been spread, that M. de Potter (whose name was we of the watch words of the original thing) had arrived at Brussels, cannot be true.— His appearance in that scene of action might expose him to more dan ga than he would be willing to incur. Being banished for sight years, (by a sentence which we have always characterised as anti, unjust, and impolitic,) his very return to Brussels, at this time of excitement, and after the seditious letter which be be published in the Paris journals, would be sufficient to convict him of high treason. But it is seedless to reason from his fears or his prudence, when we have better rd. deuce than a logical inference from his motives, that he could not have reached the Netherlands at the date of our last armeants. In the Conetilinionnel of Tuesday, he is described as having on Monday attended a banquet at Paris, in which he and his Bel gic party had offered to fraternise with the ofileas of a betted= of the trench National Guards, who were likewise enjoying their pa triode banquet at the same tavern. The scene is painted by the Preach journalist:as " grave and interesting." The two pasties happened to be dining in adjoining halls. It was proposed to remove the partition which divided them, that" the two might fraternise." The proposal was agreed to, and the Belgians gave for a toast," The monks of Belgium with France." The self .denying Frenchmen /eked ends as accession of territory ova their caps, and declined &hak the least M. de Potter then is described as having made another Memo on the patriotic modesty of the French National Guard, by a Medan Asia that Belgium would rely upon them in cos of any fen* biereanden in Belgic affairs . Again, the Frenchmen panted the aseglost by e i s=, wold willingly fight for the Belgians if thdr darn lbs them. So thi mettle now etas& mad de Peat Milli& babiy boo to eat his dinners at Paris is woe dm mum. Il ice webs fee warlike succour from his new hinds of the Podia Na timed Guard.

There have been no fewerthen three memorable conspiraties to overturn the Government. The first wu in the year 1793: the head of it was Lleberntreit, an able and energetic man, who scrupled at no moons, and, as Commandant of Vienna, had the kez . l . f all the fianes of arms, and all the wo places at his The t his fellow.conspirszers was Prandaatta the ablest of the Mallistrazea. who led by his talents the who; of his colleagues, and wu the best acquainted with the capital. Professor Riedel was another of the conspirators ; a third was Rachel, a deb mer chant. The other conspirators embraad every ekes in society, and spread over the most distant parts of the country. The plan wu the introduction of a danoaadeal Constitution ; the lives of the reigning Family were to be taken. The discovery was effected through a conspiracy in Deemart. Hebenstreit was exe cuted, and a number of the Conspirators were thrown into dungeons. Those whom their treatment had not destroyed, obtained their liberty throe h Buonaparte at the peace of Om Formic The second mnspiracy was in Hungary, and at the head of it was Bishop Mar tinowits, a man who, on account of his talents and energies, had been loaded with favours by the Emperors Joseph, Leopold, and Francis. The object of this conspiracy also was the introduction of a Democratic Constitution. The discovery was effected through a Pavane, who concealed himself in a cheat, and overheard the conspirators. The Royal Treasury was much enriched by the con fiscations. and among the many Nobles who were executed, figured Father Makk, Father bliss; and 'Father Vousigny. The third conspiracy in 1821, in Italy, is 'loin fresh in remembrance. It must not be supposed, because there is no liberty of the Press in Austria, that the people are perfectly resigned to the system of despo tism in that Empire, though, under toe crafty Metternich, despotism does not appear there in the revolting form which it assumes in Spain and Portugal We noticed some time ago a very curious work on Austria, in two volumes, published in 1829, by Dr. SchaneUer, who had been twenty.eight years a Professor in Vienna, and left the country to have the privilege of publishing his work. He says that the number of men, who think correctly, and view with disgust, High Church monkery, Jesuitism, and Feudalism, is very considerable.— It would appear, however, that at that time the leading people looked forward to the chance of a successor imbued with the siri t o a Maximilian and a Joseph, rather than to the dangerous experiment of attempting amelioration though civil conflict. The following paragraph from the work is striking : " Austria for five hundred years has led the re-action against the spirit ,of the times, almost without interruption. Before the Reformation she combated the Swiss peasantry, and attacked the Hussites with firs and sword. Since the Reformation, the has been the main stay of the ecclesi astical re-action against the Protestant principle. As this evil declined, there began with the revolution a re.action against Representative ideas. This continued and consistent struggle against ecclesiastical improve. went and popular influence, led to an almost uninterrupted and consist ent hostility to science and literary activity. This consistency has ex cited sometimes surprise, but more frequently disgust. The dread of revolutions has constantly haunted, like a spectre, the rulers, and frightened them even from the most necessary reforms. Maximilian 11. and Joseph 11. alone were benevolent and determined Reformers. A return to their ways will become inevitable." Posw.—The proclamation of Prince Frederick to the inhabitants of Brussels, which we subjoin, will impart a lively satisfaction to the friends of order in every country, and inflict an equal mortification, however they may attempt to disguise it, upon all the friends of revolu tion without exception. in such a revolt as that of which Brussels has been the scene, guilt must have been general, however distant the degrees of it in different individuals. While, therefore, the special vengeance of the offended law will fall only upon the more conspicuous and atrocious criminals, we leant front the Proclamation of Prince Frederick, that--as we yesterday anticipated—a general, and in all respects an appropriate punishment, awaits the general dis loyalty which has been exhibited. The Prince expressly states that the state of things which has existed in this rebellions city renders more distant the possibility that it will ever again be the abode of the Monarch or of the Heir to the Throne. The disastrous conclusion of the Belgic insurrection is hailed, as we recollect its commencement was hailed, with loud expressions of satisfaction, by those who still exult in the recent Revolution in France, and exult in every Revolu- Hoc so long as it bean a promise of success. This to us is, we own, incomprehensible. The failure of the projected Revolution in the Netherlands will be a severe disappointment to every Frenchman who contributed to the Revolution in his own country from any other motive than that of personal or panty ambition. It defrauds the French Revolution of a large part of the reward which its genuine partisans and efficient authors originally contemplated. It thews that the French party into whose hands the Revolution will inevitably at no distant day throw the whole power of government, to be less powerful in foreign countries than was generally imagined. It endangers, and to a great extent defeats, the French Revolution r yet do the same men who re joice in the French Revolution affect to rejoice that the Revolutionists of Belgium are overthrown. • Hzitet.n.—The present uncertain state of the Ministry cannot but be considered a very serious evil to the country, and calculated to increase that procrastinating habit which has been already so much the bane of public business of late years. Ministers, it is understood, should be preparing, in the recess, the measures necessary to be brought forward in their respective departments, when Parliament meets; but, if the Minister of the recess is not likely to be the Minister of the session, what encouragement is there, or, we might almost say, what use is there, in his prepar i ng plans, the execution of which, if likely to be persisted in, will devolve upon another? We would instance the case of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with whom the most material part of the business of the House of Commons rests. If there a ls e az one point upon which men of all parties and opinions are r it is of Mr. Goulburn's total un fi tness for that o ffi ce. If then, Mr. Goulburn's removal be, as It is universally admitted to be, inevitable, why has It not taken place ? Why is not his successor appointed, and allowed time to prepare himself for the details of his ar. duals duties ? The same may be said of others, though not, perhaps, with equal force and urgency ; and it will be truly mortifying if, when Parliament meets " for the despatch of business," no business can be despatched till this or that Noble Lord, or Honourable Gentleman, has had time to be remlected perhaps; or to prepare himself for the duties of hls novel situation. If it were a question whether the present set of men ears nary on the affairs of the country, the public would readily await the result of the experiment : but as it is agreed, on all hands, that a change, to a certain extent at least, must take place, surely the sooner it is made the better. It is surely time that the new recruits to the Cabinet should be put into training, that they may know how to handle their arms before the day of battle. Truss.—The proceedings at the quarterly meeting of Proprietors of the Bank of England, held yesterday to consider about the half. yearly dividend, are deserving of public attention. When Bank Pro prietors are called together under a positive Act of Parliament, to de clare a dividend, and when, by one of their own bylaws, they are empowered to apportion such dividend " according to the amount of the profits," can any thing exceed the effrontery with which the " amount of the profits" is concealed from them, and the power of conscientiously discharging so pave a duty withheld ? A motion (to obtain information) was resisted by the Governor on no specific grounds whatever that we could understand, but that the question was not one between the proprietors and directors only ; the Bank was to be looked at in "'a political point of view, and the influence of its operations cm the currency of the country ought to be considered, before its present mode of proceedings was arraigned; " that " the interest of the public was vitally concerned in the proceed. ings of the Bank." Therefore it is, we beg leave to say, that the pro. ceedings of the Bank ought not to be enveloped in mystery, and the public interests--" vital interests"—tampered with by men whose ma. cbinations are altogether secret. In the actual precarious and incalculable state of Europe, when each post may bring tidings pregnant with dismay to every lover of civilisation and of continued peace, we ask, ought 24 merchants (nay, we believe the secret committee of the Bank does not exceed three in number) —ought any such small body to possess the Power of raising or depeessing prices—of extending or contracting pri. rate credit—of driving gold from England, or forcing it suddenly back ...of changing, in fact, the whole face of society amongst us, and all the while demand from the nation at large, as well as from their own ern. ployets by whom they ham been immediately delegated, a blind, im plicit, and unbounded confidence in the infallibility of their wisdom and their honour We repeat, that the prerogative exacted is frightful, and the ground on which it is asked quite contemptible. Saturday evening next, the 25th inst. at half-past nine o'clock, an Eclipse will take place on the Seven Stars (commonly called the Little Bear) which will continue exactly three and a half minutes. —Ptolemy. The effect of carrying passengers upon the Liverpool and Manchester railway coaches begins already, as might be expected, to show itself very decidedly upon the old Liverpool stage.cosebes.
