We are glad to see in the Papers of this morning, so many declarations, confirmatory of the sentiments which we yesterday expressed on the .question of our interposing in behalf of Spain. We deprecated the idea of catrying our sympathy for Spain to the perilous extent of making war for hut. sake (not our ovs n) against France;" while at the same time we pointed to the "individual enthusiasm" excited at the S r anish dinner, as a source from which the Spaniards have much to expect. A person, who calls himself " An Eye Witness," has sent a letter round to the Papers, in which he states, that " the plain and in-, telligible appeal" of the Sect etary to the Spanish Legation was not such as ought to " be interpreted into a call for any assistance 'from the State— into a demand of Subsidies."—" That," he conti nues, " would have been irregular, as well as im prudent. They must have been intended for a very 'different way of assistance—one which depends upon voluntary and individual sympathy; and cannot, the' elute, either einbatrass the foreign relations of Great Btitain, or impose new charges upon the People."—Another Gentleman, who was also at the D:nner (F. W. MyEns, Esq. of Russell-square), has published a letter to Lord WILLIAM BENittioc, the Chairman, in which he thus ieusibly expresses him self: —" My Lord, far be it from any of us to precipi tate the Ci.uncils of our country ; but, individually, let us not forego the hope that Spaniards . will not fight alone the batt7e of liberated Europe. • • • • . • • • • . . " The want of opportunity alone, the full occupation .of every moment of Friday's Meeting, prevented my entreating from your Lordship, and the numerous as sernbly then present, that a fund should be contributed towards the foundation of Spanish Military Hospitals. Stich a course is open to us, for there is no law to in hibit us from binding the wounds of the soldier, and iolaiing him in his peril. My *Lord, it is not too late to'do something t if we cannot lead in' the path of glory, let us be found following in benevolence the desolation of war—easing the pains of the sick, and soothing the spirit of the. broken. If British valour is, for the present, forbidden to gather laurels foithe glory of England, let Thitish sympathy delight to Amply balm and oil for the succour of the wounded.". The Morning Chronicle, too, is pleased to admit distinctly, that " a country ought not to-go to war merely from sympathy with the situation of another, where..its own safety an:l interests are not concerned, because in that case there would never be an end of war:': It seems, however, slow to admit shat the Britisb Government has done all which it might and ought to do consistently with a strict neutrality.— Repeal," it says, "'the Foreign Enlistment Bill." We need not now go into an examination of the ques tion, how far that measure would be consistent with a strict neutrality, which, the Chronicle adds in the neat breath, would soon make the French Govern- Ment " repent its 'undertaking." It may be enough to make answer to this demand in the Chronicle's own words—" Spain is strong in situation, and does not want men." We are less pleased to find that we were not mis t:ll:en in saying that it seems to be the object of a party in the country (not numerous, we trust,) to en courage an idea that " a Declaration of War against France must be the consequence of the failure of our mediation in behalf of Spain:' In the House of Com ;mons, last night, Colonel DAVIT'S was pleased to say that " it was only because war appeared to be almost inevitable, not only between France and Spain, but between France and Bngland, that he did not pro pose- a reduction in amount of our military esta blishmeno." This statement was followed by loud calls of Hear, hear, from the Opposition Benches, shewing that there are more persons than Mr. Dan- MAN who agree with Colonel DAVIES in opinion. •We were consoled to observe from the still loader ciies of No, No, which resounded from all' pasts of the House that the real interests of the Country are not without advocates enough ie the House to up hold and enforce them,. Mr, WALLACE obtained leave last night to bring iw a Bill to render more efficacious the proiisions of the Warelsoubing Act. If we understand rightly the It is to be opposed, however, .as we learn front a paragraph in the Morning Herald of this day, uhich not only stigmatizes the measure, but attributes it to improper motives. 6' We much fear," say the writer, 66 that this measure originates with those who have a greater inte►est in foreign manufactures than they have in home manufactures, besides having pro bably large stacks of warehouses that they *ant to get a good annual rental for ; and, in addition, to become Brokers for the sale of the foreign manufac tured goods in question." Knowing as we, do, and as the whole mercantile world have testified, the pure and patriotic exertions, ofMr.WALLatoe,44 must bold up this paragraph to the reprobation it writs. As to the Whet.% fears of the foreign manufacturer underselling the Britiah , manufacturer, we hold them to 'be purely visionary ; and, for our own part, we de.ne nothing better for the prosperity of our country than to see the produce of British industry and ingenuity brought into,elose and flit competition with il*prQduce of allother l c outwits. • • . . The French Papers of Saturday are only interesting t • at far as I elats to the state of popular feeling in Paris, *hick has received serious exciteme:it by the expul sion of M. Maeuet.. By this act the Ultras, in their fury, have. contrived to do two things, which were the most distant frtil their intentions. They have made an important rallying point - of 1tr.:M4r041., who was before only known as a stauncli:Libes al and an eloquent debater ; and they have' united in a Close body all the Members of the Opposition under the banners of alarm, whatever were their previous dif ferences in views or opinions. flat they have done more ( they have roused popular feeling against them, and it manifests itself in tumults in the streets, and imprecations against the Government. On Thursday, says the Journal des Debals; collec tions of people, amounting to between five and six hundred, took place on the Boulevards San Martin and du Temple. They were mostly of the woriing classes, though some few among them were cf a better condition. The gendarmes arrested 29 of them.— Next day a crowd assembled at Port St. Denis ; they called out " Vfve Manuel/ Vive la Charter —" Mort a la Bourdonnaye." 64 The gendarmerie," says the Quotidienne, dis persed the assemblages in a few moments, but the latter in despair at being driven from the field of their exploits, rushed in their flight upon a party of Swiss soldieis, some of whom were wounded by the fugi tives, who on their way dealt blows on all sides, with bludgeons, knives, and stilettoes. Nine individuals were taken up and conveyed to the guard-house, and from thence to the Prefecture. Among thetsi were a civilian, a physician, a merchant, two shoe-blacks, and three servants belonging to respectable families: , The Members of the Opposition baia not yet re-. sumed their seats in the Chamber of Deputies, for the 19 and 15 black balls, •on some recent divisions, are, believed to have beeA thrown huddle urn by sutvie of the Ultras, who wished sib Witeir that there 16as' an opposition. , The Chamber of Peers lure occupied themselves very much concerning , the-err:hien °(m. suirtzt.

SEMLIN, FEBRUARY 39. Dehelal Paella, successor of Chourschid Prclin, put himself to death because he found no army. The Kiaga of Chourschid Meltmed Paella, who killed Ali Pasha with liis own hands, was appointed his succes sor; but has refused. The Porte then chose Gavan oglu, of Nissa, to command the army, with the title of Seraskier ; but there is no longer any a r my. of La rissa, and the Greeks are masters of TheSSaly. FRENCH FORM.
