In a preceding column we have given extracts from such of the French papets as we did not yesterday receive by express. They are entirely silent respect. ing Count MISSAL, of whose conduct the Paris journalists seem " weary of 'conjecture." That he has not gone over to the French, or; betrayed his country, as was so confidently stated, seems pretty certain. On the contrary he surrendered, on conven tion, a city which he could not . b,ave. defended for a moment ; and although he expresses his individual conviction that the Spaniards are . notdecidedly in favour of the Constitution, he condemns the invasion, and ha. offered no terms. which . it would be, incort. sistent with the honour of Spain to accept—or'st.lea st to form the basis of an amicable negotiation. . To talk, then, of ASIbEAL'i having betrayed his . country, or ruined the caux of Spain, is absurl It is true that the French are in Madrid— an event which could scarcely have been prevented, had the Spiniards been as ardent in favour of the Constitution as some of our conternpolalies have represented them. Had ABISSAL been stationed on the Bidassoa, and fled be foie the French, he might have l:en accused of abandoning the country to the invaders: on the con trary, he was placed in the capital, where, perhaps, more apathy prevailed than in any part of Spain ; Le kept it tranquil when the Government had quitted it ; and when at length he could retain possession of it no longer, he secured the safety and protection of the citizens by a convention, and left a force mai cient not only to see that the terms of it were kept, but to revel the attack cf the Army of the Faith un der Bust pm, arter the Convention had been signed. Those persons who calculated on Spain- making a vigorous defence, and arc disappinteJ at the present state of affairs, may lay the Lla:r.e on Antsn:tn;'at ii the national defenec•and national spirit alone rested' on him; bat whatever may have been his motive! Ise has certainly not injured Spain, or her cause: ind if the Spaniards are really in favour of the Cunstitu. tional system, they have the same means.of defending it they cvcr had if they yield to negotiation, they tan still do so, with swords in their hands and with for tresses to occupy, where the Government might.still exercise its. fanctions, and bid - defiance' to the in. vaders. Nay more, the armies, though not numerous, are unbroken ; and the operations in Catalonia must . have brought the French to respect, if not to fear the army of MINA, and consequently notto exact such. • terms as would excite a more general resistance. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. PARIS, MAY 31. " it is now said, an.l believed by same of the warmest Mends of the Constitutionalists. that Ballasteros and Morillo are acting in concert with Abisbal. It is oho said that Pampelun ., is given up, and that the other strong places are held with an understanding that they also ate-to be surrendered into the hands.r.if a new Government, as soon as it can be organized. From the manner in which the retreat of the Spanish armies has been Conducted, except that of Mina, it appears plain that vigorous resistance was never in tended. The Spaniards have not shewn any great at tachment to their-Constitution, and their conduct jus tifies Abisbarsasstrtio: , , that they care nothing about it. They sill make no sacrifices to support it, and 'seem to pt fet peace to a contest for any Constitution. Europe is fatigued with war, and men desire repoie snore than freedom. Arrncd Legislators are always tyrants; and nobody who has imbibed tire spirit of philosophy can expect to benefit mzukinci from forc ing, wiet the point of the sword, an improved Go-, weroment and a rational religion op an enslaved and superstitious people. Even supposing the above Ge nerals to be the warmest friends of freedom—and Bailastexos is a man of untainted reputation—they would act wisely, therefore, in endeavouring, under .prevent circumstances, to restore peace to their comi ty. In tenth, if the people at large do not with for freedom there is no object to. cauter.d for. From what has lately passed it is inferred that the Cortes will be unable to make any further resistance. Some bands may still rove about the country ; some towns limy hold out for a short timitilmt it is not expected that the new Regency, of which it is now said the Duke d'Angouleme is to be the head, if Ferdinand doesttut speedily return to Madrid, will have any g re* Mitilw is reducia,g, with the aid of the French 41E+Pfstilli•Otele.tei,itry to . abedituce. There may beoettosittettagotiatiass wide your Cabinet, but as, # =EvENING STAR. r .. 1 „ its declared wish is for peace, it cannot , stand on punctilios, and temporary trancLuilliti wilboilieedily restored. Your Cabinet may object to the Duke d'Ango leme being at the-head of the Government— diplom fists may find something to squabble about — but th will be no differences to cause national war fare. Events, as the French bulletin of to-day says, will now rapidly develope themselves, and the speedy and desired termination of the whole will be general repose. To obtain this is the great aim of your Go- vernment, and there is no doubt that in a short time its labours will be crowned with success.— In its efforts to maintain peace, it has perhaps been more the representative of general opinion on the Continent of Europe than any Government of the world ever was before. It is not only at the head of a majority of its pwn subjects, but seems to act, as far as the desire for repose is concerned, in unison with the feelings of the greater part of the civilized world. The only dissentients are the Ultras of both parties. From the Ultra lovers of freedom no danger - can arise, as they have no power; but the Ultra ,fanatics possess a great deal, and their intemperance and violence will oppose the greatest and only ob stacles to a general and speedy accommodation." The latest accounts from Madrid state, that•the Duc d'ANuoutue was preparing ro send two Corps of 6000 men each, to t 6 South of Spain. The oc cupation of Toledo is confirmed. Frankfort Papers to the 28th ult. reached us this forenoon. We have gleaned some miscellaneous pa ragraphs from them, which will be found in other parts of our Paper. The following are the only po litical articles they contain : • SMYRNA, AMIL is. It is probable that the Turkish fleet will be stronger this year than it was the last, %%hen it has made its junction with the Egyptian and Barbary squadrons. It is supposed that it will act on another plan, and with more rigour ; at all events, we consider the cam paign which is on the point of commencing, as deci,ive. Letters from the island of Syra say, that the 3000 banditti, who had laid the plan to-plunder that island, but were prevented by the arrival of a French frigate, threaten to renew the attempt: the inhabitants have, however, prevailed on the Captain of the French fri gate Slams to remain there some time longir. SWITZERLAND, MAY 40.• It is 'certain that Count Talkfratid, Minister Ple nipotentiary of France to the Helvetic Confederation is going to leave Switzerland; it is not known who is to be his successor. • Tranquillity is restored in the Canton of Zug. The Clergyman of Menzinguerr, who was much implk cated in the trouWes : that have taken place, has been 4ummened before a Committee of Enquiry, but he - has refused to aaswer without a special dispensation; "frOm the Bishop or the Nuncio. The Government, , firmly resolved not to recognise this ecclesiastical im munity, has had the Clergyman confined in the C;- .puc hin convent.

COURT OF CHAIVCERY-2711S DAY. LORD PORTSMOUTIL This morning the ATToRNRY-GENERAL pres'nteJ a petition on behalf of Mr. Henry Wallop Fellowes, praying that it be referred to the Master to ascertain how much has been expended since the ‘23,1 of Fe bruary last on the maintenance of Lord Portsmouth, and what Will be a fit sum for his maintenance in fu ture; together with the sums expended on the in quiry into the lunacy of that Noble Earl, and that the expense, when ascertained, might be allowe-J. Mr. T RESLOVE said, that there was another peti tion on behalf of Lady Portsmouth, pra) ing that an allowance should be made for her, and also for the expenses incurred by opposing the petition for the Commission of Lunacy. A SOLICITOR said, that Mr. Heald, who was not present, had a brief to consent to Lady Portsmouth's petition. The LORD CiIkIICRLI.OR made .no order on the Tatter Petition for the present ; and Observed, that s henever an order was to be made on it, that order would not be to allow all the expellees which may have been incurred by opposing the Commission, be cause he was of opinion that a great deal of that op position was improper; but with reference to the Peti tion on behalf of the Committee Of Lord Portsmouth, he °reeled that it be referred to the-Master to ascer tain what expeasee had been reasonably incurred in ascertaining the lunacy of Lord Portsmouth, and to ascertain what sum will be reasonable to allow for the future support and maintenance of that g 0.14, Earl u regard being had to the state of *his CirCUlll stances in life, family, t:c. HORRIBLi* CRIME. BETtLIN. MAT ts. A letter from Rostock, of the I.stb-of May, con-., tains the following statement : . . " A crime has. jug been committed heir whiCh'is surely unparallebro. A labourer, named Deektritin, lived in a house out ;of the Kipplin gate, rwith his %%ire, who was pregnant, three children, and a sister, and also his father, who still resided with his ebn: The two latter were always quarrelling, and, en the 10th of this month, they even came to lalows.. The father, who, as the weakest, had been obliged to 'yield,-.was so irritated, that lie arose in the oighti closed the doors inside, and batricadoed them and the , windows as &sit as possible. '7 He turn set fire to this miserable -abode in several. places, leaped •into the river Warne, which. flu w velose to it, and wai drowned. The house was totally consumed; and the three dren, as %%ell as the sister of the owner. not only pe ' tithed in the fiames, but were so ecimpletely reduced to ashes, that no trace of their bodies was•to be found. The man and his wife were found still alive, but in so miserable a state, that the wile,died on the 11th, and her husband on the 13th.
