They are impor tant insomuch as they prove that the mutinous at tempt of the Guards to effect a Counter-Revolution was not an insulated enterprise, but that it was con nected with a general plan, prepared by foreign in trigue, and intended to break out at once on so great a variety of points, as to compel the Constitutionalist s to divide their forces, and leave them no main body to resist the approach of a regular army. In its eager ness to give the most favourable colouring to the affairs of the Royalists, the Qstotidieane betrays the existence of a conspiracy. It shews that if insurrec tions have manifested themselves in numerous places, they all did so at one and the same period, corres ponding with the rebellion of the Guards, and before its issue could possibly be known. Such regularity could not be the effect of chance ; it was the work of design, and as the rising was instantaneous, so will have been their downfall on learning that the Guards had been defeated, the authors of the plot exposed, and that the KING himself had become the active prosecutor of those, who, if they did net act under hi positive orders, were proceeding in the execution of their dark machinations with his privacy and appro bation. It seems that the intention was to carry him off to the Pyrenees, whence he would have re-entered Spain at the head of the French army, miscalled, at a time when 41 contagion has long ceased to exist, a sanitary cordon. Madrid still remains tranquil ; aid the intelligence from the Provinces is favourable. ! The insurgent Carabineers who entered Puerta Real, did not stop there for fear of being surrounded ; it seems that they have proceeded towards the moun tains of Toledo, where they will not be more secure. Advices were daily reaching Madrid, from the most distant provinces, of the good spirit of the troops, and the resolutions of the people in favour of the present order of things. The recent events in Spain prove that the Spaniards are a great people ; in almost every other country in Europe, popular commotion leads to outrages on pri vate property ; but this was not the case in Spain; the triumphant party never abused their success; and it must be said in favour of the defeated Guards that in their flight they committed no excesses, nor were/hey guilty of any plunder or rapine in their route, or on the unarmed peasants among whom they took up their quartets. • SPAIN. The Pads Journals of Thursday and Friday have been received, The discussion of the Budget still continues, in the Chamber of Deputies, to give rise to much political and even personal animosity. On Wednesday, the charges of the :Foreign Mi nistry being moved, a warm debate ensued on the situation of the Peninsula. General Foy, in an eloquent speech, often interrupted by plaudits on the one side, and murmurs on the other, called upon the Ministry to beware, lest their conduct in Spain should pro duce the same effect as the Manifesto of the Duke of Brunswick in France. The lot of the southern nations of Europe, he main tained, would have been very different, bad France, the reign ing family of which was allied to those of Spain and Naples, frankly and nobly placed itself at the bead of a confederation of Constitutional States. It was the duty of Constitutional France' to prove to other nations, that a Representative Govern ment, faithfully carried into effect, was the form best adapted to reconcile the dignity of the Prince with the libetty of the People. Instead of this, the Ministry of France had opposed the rise of freedom, and endeavoured to create confusion on the other side of the Pyrenees. He would not, he said, speak of the 7th of July---ite IPOuld not speak of the sending of chests of money or eases of flails to the North of Spain—he would not call attention to the euencidence which existed between the revolt at Madrid and the appearance of Quesada's bands on the frontiers. Other facts would furnish a proof that the Ministers of France were responsible for the blood which had been shed in the capital and on the frontiers of Spain. Under the false and ridiculous pre text of a cordon sanitaire, they have assembled a real army. If the yellow fever bad been the cause of this movement, would the precautions have been multiplied exactly eight months after the fever had ceased? Why do we receive every day, for seve ral months past, from officers and soldiers of the cordon sonitaire, letters which announce that the order for passing the frontier is hourly expected? Do you believe that the mutineers of the Prado would have executed their criminal projects if they had not been promised assistance from France? But the mass of the Spanish nation is moderate, and strong, because it is unanimous. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. de Moeratoaaricr, replied to General For at great length, and with considerable asperity denied that the oordon sanilaire was established for any other purpose than what its name indicated. On the following day the debate was resumed,when NI. Baaeszroua attacked the Ministers with great severity as to the proceedings now taking place in France, under the name of re-establishing religion. The present Ministry (he said), after having given so many examples of fraudopf deception, of chearing—after baying outraged so seriously public morality and religion, which both rest on justice and good faith—this same Ministry demands from us large sums for the re-establishment of this religion-(Murmon on the right.= Order 1') Do they think to succeed by vain external ceremonies, by the building of churches, the endowment of Bishoprics, the foundation of seminaries)— Of far greater avail would it be to give an example of the vir tues of probity, of justice, than to seek to persuade us,. as was the custom in " the good old times," that a bad action—that a crime shonlel be bought off by the founding of a church, or the endowing of a Monkery. We shall soon have more Priests than soldiers, and we shall assuredly not be the more virtuous on that account. Already sixty thousand cover the soil of Viaisce, and yet they dare complain of their insufficiency, of their scarcity ! More than four hundred religions houses seople our towns, and they are every day sought Co be increased. I do not examine whether this crowd of priests, monks, and noes, is sufficient ; What I know is, that these men and their auxiliaries live at the expense of those /oho work, of the useful etas► of society, to which they give in exchange catechisms which contain, in so many words, the obligation of paying tithe and obeying the Seigneur.—(Murmurs on the right. On the left, It is true.') --Primary instruction is only set down in the Budget at 50,000 francs, while to nuns, monks, &c. is given 1,205,100 francs. The seminaries (of Jesuits) cost 940,000 francs ; the parsonages 200,000 francs, besides what the Communes pay.— These parsonages are often superb houses; the Commune is ruined tolodge the pastor sumptuously—(Murmurs on the right). The State pays for ecclesiastical buildings 2,200,000 francs, not to speak of what it costs the Communes." The Constitutionnel contains an account of the pro ceedings in Math id previous to the 7th instant ; and states, that on the 3d an Address was presented by forty Deputies to the President of the Permanent De putation of the Cortes, in v Mich they say : " The undersigned only see two means of saving the country, and they beg the Permanent Deputation to employ them. The first is, demand that his Majesty and his Ministers shall range themselves by the side of the loyal citizens ; the second, in case of their refusal, to declare them in a state of captivity, and to provide for the public administration by the means pointed out by tution. If the Deputation does not accede to this do. undersigned, protest in lace of their constituents, that On the 14th inst. the KING appointed a Special Military Cemmission, composed of the Officers of the garrison and the volunteer militia, to try the authors and accomplices of the late revolt. The Commission immediately commenced the most active investiga tion. The accused were divided into four classes:— 1. The Officers; 2. The soldiers taken whilst firing; 3. The soldiers taken arms in hand ; and 4. Those arrested without arms. The Commission had in formed the militia that it hoped to conclude its pre paratory labours in three days. • Numerous Addresses and Petitions are presented to the KING and to the Ministers, soliciting the prompt and complete purification of the King's Household. One Petition, signed byi 343 patriots, and supported by the Municipality, demands, first, that the militia should remain in a state of war, until the authors of the insurrection should be punished ; 2dly, that all the individuals composing . the Household of the King and the Princes should be exiled from Madrid, and replaced by others. The arrests and banishments continue in great number. Besides the Duke del INFANTAPO banished to Badajoz, and the Marquis de las AMARILLAE to Grenada, Lieutenant-General the Marquis of CAS-. TELAR had been exiled to Carthagena, Lieutenant- General Count de CASSAMA to Valencia, Field Mar shal D. T. LONGA to Badajoz, Brigadier D. J. SAN CHEZ CISNEROS to Avila, and six other Military and Civil Officers, of high rank, to Grenada. The number of Royal Guards taken prisoners amounted, on the, 11th, to 1223, but 300 more had been brought in by the 15th. Those who had not been overtaken had surrendered themselves to the Alcades of the neigh bouring villages, to avail themselves of the amnesty which had been proclaimed.

The Portuguese General who commands en the frontier of the Province of Alen-Tejo, has offered to march in favour of the Spanish Liberals. This pa triotic offer has been received with gratitude. The cause of the two countries is the same. The Ktso - has changed many of the Officers imme diately about his person, and is thus likely to recover his former situation in the public confidence. The Marquis of SANTA Citrz entered on his office as Di rector of the Royal Household on the morning of the 14th. "It is said," adds the Universal, " that the persons attached to the ICING', household have re ceived notice that great reforms were intended, and that the past conduct of many of the Royal servants had endangered the honour of the KING, and the security of his Royal house." The Political Chief of Madrid, who had tendered his resignation to his MA aRSTY on the Bth, had been requested to continue his functions till the public tranquillity was completely restored, and had consented—.an answer to the calum nies published against him by theultra liberal Journal. The triumph of the Constitutionalists in Spain, the tranquillity which continues to reign in the capital of that kingdom ; and, above all, the abortive efforts in the Provinces to overturn the Constitution, must be matter of as deep chagrin to those ultra Journalists of France and England, as it is of sincere gratifica tion to all who wish well to the cause of liberty. In vain have they endeavoured to excite the People of Spain to revolt ; in vain have they foretold the mas sacres and burning which were to visit Madrid after the 7th of July—all is still tranquil,, and the Go vernment is strengthening its power by its wisdom and moderation.

Various causes are assigned for the unexpected delay of the marriage of Prince Oscar and the Princess of Leuchtenburg (daughter of Eugene Beau harnois). Some attribute it to the absence of the King of Bavaria, who is at Baden, and others to the repugnance of the Princess to abjure the Ca tholic religion and to embrace that of Lutheranism. Without doing this she could not become Princess Royal of Sweden, or at least she would have great difficulty in being one day acknowledged Queen of Sweden, where the religious laws of the State are ri gorously enforced. It will be recollected that -the present King of Sweden, father of Prince Oscar, was obliged to abjure the Catholic religion on his arrival in that Kingdom. A Swiss Journal states that a Greek Deputation has arrived at Venice, where it is under quarantine. - The object of its mission is unknown.
