MADRTD, FEBRUARY e, To-night we hold the pen in our hand to denounce to the nation the insult which has been offered it by some malcontents in the persons of some of its most illustrious Representatives; but expressions fail us to ' paint with sufficient !once the enormity of such an outrage; and, on the other hand, we think lye shall do a signal service to the Spanish nation by dowel ing from it this scandalous proceed i ng , a ri d prevent in . g. as far as depends upon us, its reaching the ear of foreigners—particularly of those who are labour ing.unceasingly for our ruin. Other journalists have anticipated us in giving an account of this event, rind we have no doubt that the promoters of so disgrace ful an outrage will boast of it as a triumph. Those journalists who have related the circumstances have, more or less, misrepresented them. The most im portant of those circumstances are the insulting ex pressions offered to some Deputies of the Cortes on leaving Congress yesterday, and the attempt to pull down the house of Count Torreno, threatening him self with death—the house of Count Totreno, which affords an asylum to the widow of the martyr Porlier, whose affliction these barbarians endeavoured to in. crease by adding to it the death of her brother. But let us see what is the motive for such rage, and what those men have done who, on former occa sions, were the favourites of the nation—who were considered as the firmest pillars of liberty, and who, as such, were marks for the sarcasms, the invectives,' and even the menaces of certain persons. This, this is the whole of their offence—they love liberty—they endeavour to prevent its degenerating into anarchy —they know the most secret intentions of our enemies —they frustrate their efforts, and are resolved rather to die than to suffer their criminal projects to succeed. This, this is the crime which renders them odious in the eyes of those who seek to destroy us. EXTRAORDINARY CORTES. • SITTINO OF FEBRUARY 5. • The PRESIDENT ordered Articles 75 and 76 of the Regulation to be read, and after they were read, spoke as follows it is with much pain that I see myself under the necessity of recalling an article of your re gulation ; but the Cortes and the Public know how impossible it is to be silent in the face of the events of yesterday. , Let us undeceive ourselves—the bul wark of the Constitution and of our liberties is the Cortes. There cannot be Cortes without discussion, and there cannot be discussion if the Deputies are not free to express their opinions. What more could our enemies desire than disorders of this nature? Placed in this chair for the third time, I shall die, but I shall die bearing witness to the whole world, that if years of persecution for defendin the liberties of my coun try have not made me succumb, neither shall I suc cumb at the sight of greater risks. Unfortunate Spain, at a time when the persons of its Deputies are not respected. If they are thus attacked, what shall we hope for? Those are declared enemies of the Constitution who do ant re pest the National Repre sentatives. In these critical circumstances the Public ought to be informed, that at the first noise in the galleries I shall end this sitting; and I should like wise desire that some Member of the Congress would excite its zeal by a proposition on the insult offered yesterday to the National Representatives, not only with a view to the preset ration of their persons, which would be of small consequence, but to preserve the National Representation and the Constitution." There was read the following proposition of Senor GALICIA PACE: _ _ —•-- - " In consideration of the events which happened yesterday, I request the Corms to order that the Secretaries of State be called immediately to Congress to give information on the means taken by Government to avoid the result of these events, and the pre cautions that hive been enforced to maintain the public tran quillity, and to agree to those which belong to the power of the Cortes." This proposition was not admitted to discussion. There was then read the following proposition of Senor CEPER:): _ " That a diepatch be sent to Ministers, requiring their im mealiafi attendance, to inform the Cortes of the occurrences of yesterday on the rising of the Sitting, of the insults offered to va rious Deputies, and of the means which had been taken to pre vent their repetition." Its author then said—" During the course of yes terday I was witness of a scene which exceeds all the horrors I have ever seen, and, in the midst of my mis fortunes, which are well known, I never experienced A pain like that of yesterday. I saw, in some sense, ' my country threatened with slavery ; for what can he hoped for the preservation of freedom, when the Na tional Repre..entation, to which the Public have trusted their lights and liberties, is trampled upon? Let it not be supposed that I blame the Spanish people, or even the people of Madrid. They are not capable of an outrage of this nature. The Deputies who have received the powers of the nation have not contracted any greater obligation than to preserve the Consti tution: and how tan they do se, if they may be trampled upon with impunity ? Those Deputies who were yesterday insulted exposed their breasts to the daggers of assassins, out of love for their country ; but can all the Members of Congress be supposed to possess the same firmness of character ? Those who brought about the scandalous scene of yesterday are declared enemies of their country, and have inflicted la deeper wound on it than the rebels who lift their hands against it. I cannot but recall the indignity committed in the house of the widow of Porlier—of that hero who was sacrificed for his country, and whose name is written in this august place as a testi mony of national gratitude. That house was pulled down, because it sheltered Count Torreno—the illus trious Deputy—whose sacrifices and services need no praise of mine:' The Hon. Deputy concluded by pro. posing to adopt the Resolution stated above. Senor SANCHO said, that all the National Repre sentation were insulted in the indignity offered to their colleagues yesterday.—" It is as much an insult to shout viva. to a Deputy for his opinions, as to cry " Death" to him ; and, therefore, satisfied with the approbation of my conscience, I equally despise both. If the Deputies are net free to express their opinions, there is no longer a Constitution. But are the Cortes really without liberty? I am far from beihg of this opinion. But Congress ought to consult its own dig nity, as well as its freedom, and to exterminate a mi serable faction, which is only of importance in pro portion as it excites disorders.' In the opinion of this Deputy, the infliction of punishment was more ne cessary than the calling for from Govern 'went. He concluded with the following motion:— " That a Commission be appointed, which, after con ascribed all this to the feebleness of Govern's.— _, had taken no precautions to prevent, on the prov. dax, scenes similar to those which had occurred thile days before. He declared his respect for the Count de Torreno ; and said, that as soon as he heard of the insult offered him, he sallied forth from his house, determined to die by his side. " As a Deputy, and as Quiroga (said he), I cannot but declare it is op OA, nion that the Congress should instantly dirett thp Authorities to fulfil their duties, and to procure re spect for the laws." Senor RAMON= bore testimony to the small num ber concerned in the attack on the two Deputies. Senor MARTINEZ de la Rosa said, that he would not have spoken on this occasion were it not to tes tify for the zeal with which the Authorities acted in extending their protection to MM. So much were they disposed to afford him all the defence in their power, that he was himself obliged to countermand the troops they were sending to guard his house. He did not, however: think that the Cortes ought to en tertain the question, unless submitted to them by Government. The occurrences of the preceding day had sufficiently shewn the weakness of the disor ganizing factions, which had no other means than their audacity. They would disappear before firm ness and prudence. Conde de Tonaesto.- 41 My view of the subject is the same as that expressed by Senor Martinez de la Ro,a. It is certain that our persons, alone were in sulted, but in them an insult was offered to the whole of the National Representation. The house of a citi zen, of a Deputy, which formed the asylum of the widow of a Porlier, has been forcibly entered. Sonic of my servants were maltreated and wounded. Per haps those who committed this attack have been in stigated by some of the persons who contributed to the tragic end of Porlier, and by whom I was perse cuted even in a foreign land. I might name some chiefs of assassins, whom I know, But what can the Cortes do in this affair ? On this point I think with Senor Martinez de la Rosa, but I do not concur in his declaration, that he wool; present himself un armed to the poniards of the assassins. If they re turn to attack my house, they shall not enter it un less they take it as they would a fortress. Let us then proceed tranquilly with the discussion of the Law Project. If there should be any doubt of certain abuses, in which the Press has no slight part, the events of yesterday must remove it. I must add, that I have nothing to complain of any of the Autho rities, since they all did their duty. I know not what was the intention of the mob, but it is certain that they had purchased ropes to bind me with. The thing, however, being passed, I do not believe that 1 have any personal danger to fear. The Authorities have sent more troops to my house than are neces sary to repress any disorder." Senor SANCIIO.- 41 I envy the virtue of Senor Mar tinez de la Rosa and the Conde de Torreno, for cer tainly there is great virtue in disdaining popular faiLe, and in that firmness of character which they exhibit. It is not, however, a personal question with them, but with the Cortes. Yesterday the whole National Representation, not single Deputies, was attacked ; and the Congress is bound to spew the interest it takes in seeing the Constitution and the National Represen tation respected. I insist that the Cortes cannot look on this affair with indifference. It is said that the Cortes have not failed in their duty ; but though that should be the fact, it is not the less necessary to inves tigate the origin of the evil. I attribute no weight to what has been said by Senors Martinez de la Rosa and the Conde de Torreno against my proposition, because I perceive that their oppo,ition arises from delicacy. The Cortes are bound for the protection of their inviolability, and for the sake of decorum, to investigate the matter." Senor CALATRAVA.—" The Cortes must not delay the adoption of energetic measures. I who consider it a disgrace to have maintained an opinion conform able to that which the authors of this outrage affect to entertain, solicit and demand such measures as are absolutely necessary. There exists amongst us a fiber ticidal faction, which serves the views of foreigners, and labours in their pay to destroy the Constitution of Spain. This faction must be extingui..hed; for if that be not done, great will be the hazard which the coun try wilt have to run. When two illustrious Deputies who have done so much for the cause of liberty in Spain are insulted—when the whole National Repre sentation is insulted—what is not to be feared if such excesses be not repressed? Yet those men who yes terday committed so horrible an outrage have the au dacity to call themselves Liberales ! What, they Li bet-ales Infamous wretches. The liberal-man respects the laws, but they have openly violated them. What Liberal would break into the house of a Citizen, of a Representative of the Nation, in which a person so respectable as the widow of General Porlier resided? They Liberales! Be who they may, they are traitors; for such the law declares all those to be who in any way attack the liberty of the Cortes ! What ingrati tude does this outrage manifest. To attack the house of a Deputy, who has a thousand times exposed his life for the cause of liberty, and in which the widow of him who died so boldly for the cause of liberty had taken up her abode! I hope the motion will be approved ; if not, I will propose another." Senoj ZAPATAv-.-di Those who, while they invoke Liberty and the Constitution, endeavour to destroy both, are the greatest of traitors. Those vile assassins who yesterday insulted the Congress, and in particu lar two of its most distinguished Members, have been instigated by some ambitious men, destitute of talents or virtue, for such alone could engage in similar disorders. They wish by disorder to destroy the pre sent Cortes, because they have the audacity to found the most foolish hopes in the next Congress. Yester., day I heard from the base mouths of some of them the cry- 4 Live the next Deputies!' I consider it to be the duty of the Cortes to take the most efficacious measures for repressing disorders so fatal to liberty." Here the discussion was closed, and the motion of Senoi Sancho approved. The following Deputies were appointed to foirn Under the present cireum. A er my delicacy compromised subject. I make this sacrifice with pleaiore, and care very little what notice my con duct in this respe:t may excite. My principles and coaiduct are well known.

On occasion of the unhappy circumstance that oc .curred at the Maiquerade, where an attendant of the Prince was taken ill and died, in consequence, as is supposed, of poison, the Police has published the following : " To obtain means to trace the authors of the above dreadful circumstance, all those who were at the last Masquerade, are hereby summoned to appear, within forty-eight hours, before Mr. Wende, Councillor of Police, to register their names ; and those who shall not appear within the time here specised, if it is in the sequel discovered that they were present at the masque rade, will be arrested as suspected persons."
