" Dona Vista, April 7. 1831, " PEDRO." I+le tc:th of the Independence of the Empire." RIO DE JANEIRO. _ _ I'he Brazilian Papers of the last half of March :And to Bth April inclusive, give very long details of the events which preceded the late revolution. It appears that their ;Majesties, on their return from their tour in thr... provinces, were received with f•N ci.y apparent testimony of loyalty and affection ; h;:t in the night of the 13th March, an affray, :mended with bloodshed, arose between the Portu guese and the Brazilians. On the 15th March, at the most solemn entry of the Emperor, the exccssss ....ere continued ; some of the persons who accom panied on horseback committed various insolent acts, threatening the citizens with their whips if they did not cry out " Long. live the Em'eror, death to the republic." " The police are accused of conniving at the rioters ; and the firm convic tion of the generality of the Brazilians (says the I nielligenccr) is that the whole was caused by the influence, and under the auspices of the agents of the Executive. Violence succeeds to violence. No Brazilian is secure. It is reckoned a crime to show patriotic sentiments, to wear the national cock ade," &c. In consequence of these events, an appeal was sent to the Emperor, on the 17th of March, signed by 24 members cf the Chamber of Deputies. They complain of the affronts offered to the national ho nour, by strangers who think it an honour to be called subjects of Don Miguel, or partisans of Donna Maria 11. and who chiefly composed the rabble who committed the outrages on the nights of the 13th and 14th, vilified the Brazilian name, as saulted and wounded many of the citizens on pre tence of their being federalists, &c. In canclusion, they declare that the least delay may prove fatal. " Confidence in the Government is almost entirely lost, and if the outrages against which the under signed remonstrate remain unpunished, it shall, with the Brazilian people, amount to a declaration to avenge by every possible means their national honour and dignity, so unworthily stained." To this address an answer was returned the fol lowing day, declaring that measures had been taken to maintain honour and tranquillity ; and by de crees of the same day, the Emperor dismissed four of his ministers, and appointed others in their room. On the 25th March, the 7th anniversary of the swearing to the Constitution of the empire of Bra yil celebrated by every demonstration of at tachment to the Constitution. Their Imperial Majesties, who were present at a review of the troops, were welcomed with acclamations by the spectators and the soldiers; and at night the city was brilliantly illuminated. On account of the late events some fears of further disturbances were entertained, but happily they were not realised. On the 3d April his Majesty issued a decree convoking an extraordinary meeting of the general legislative assembly. On the sth April decrees were issued, dismiss ing all the ministers, and appointing others in their room. On the Gth, the new ministers were dis missed ; and on the 7th the Emperor abdicated in favour of his son, and a Regency was appointed by the members of the Chamber of Deputies, namely the Marquis of Caravellas, by 40 ‘'otes; M. Fran cisco de Lima, 35 ; NI. Vergueiro, 30. The following oath was taken by them : " We swear to maintain the Roman Catholic Apostolic religion, the integrity, and the indivisi bility of the empire ; to observe, and cause to be observed, the political institutions of the Brazilian nation to the utmost of our power, and also to be faithful to Don Pedro IL and to deliver up the Re gency as soon as another be legally installed." The Intelligehcer confirms the fact of the troops having not only refused to fire on the people, but of leaving their barracks and joining their coun trymen, which led to the Emperor's abdication. — It adds : " Ou the night of the abdication the Em peror and Empress, and the Queen of Portugal, pri vately proceeded on board his Britannic Majesty's ship Warspite, where they still remain. It is sup posed the acclamation of Don Pedro 11. will take place as soon as the Legislative Assembly shall be legally installed, there not being at present a suffi cient number of members in attendance on the Scs sions."—lntelligeneer, April 9. The several diplomatic agents at Rio had pre sented addresses to the Regency, requesting pro tection for persons belonging to their respective countries. The Regency in reply expressed their earnest desite to cultivate a g ood understanding with foreign states, and their determination to do all in their power to protect the persons and pro perty of foreigners in their country. Some later intelligence reached London to-day from Rio Janeiro and Bahia. The letters from the former confirm the belief that the infant Emperor will not be able to maintain his authority, and that after some struggle a more popular form of govern ment will be adopted. A large party unquestion ably exists, anxious to establish a republic, and it is to be observed, that Brazil has been for some time the only monarchy in the western hemisphere. Preparations for the worst were making by all the residents in Rio Janeiro, and some Britian subjects bad taken measures to quit that place immediately. The strongest assurances had, hoe ever, been given by the public authorities in Brazil of security to persons and property. The belief at Rio Janeiro was, that the ex-Emperor would proceed to France in the first instance, as he did not expect to be allowed to land in Porturral. The Ann arrived at Liver; col from Bahia, from whence she sailed on the 9th of April, states that, pr.vicars to her sailing, a revolution had broken out at Bahia. The military Lad joined the populace, who had drawn out seven propositions, the first of which was the expulsion of all Portuguese from power, and the deposing of the President. All the shops were closed, and the inhabitants were walk ing the streets armed. There was no ship of war in port at the above date. -we seen private letters from Bahia of the , They confirm the above account ; but the town was again tranquil. The Pre retired, and Joao Gonzalves Cezimbra elected. All the Portuguese Officers discharged, and their placc* reftiled by LONDON. SATURDAY, JUNE 11. ERRATUM. In the leading article on Population in the STAR of yes. terday, for " ten millions of millions," read " km millions qf men." ARRIVAL OF DON PEDRO. His Majesty's ship Volags, commanded by Lord COLCIIESTIR, arrived at Falmouth on Thursday morning, having on board the ex-Emperor of BRAZIL, who is on his passage to Cherbourg.— Don PEDRO is accompanied by the ex-Empress and a numerous retinue, and intends to proceed through France to Munich. The Queen of Pon- TUGA L is on her passage to this country in a French ship of war. To-day we are enabled to furnish our Readers with full details of the Revolution in Brazil, the largest and most fertile single territory in the world. How unhappy is the fate of Princes, that they are surrounded with such incompetent advisers, as to be unable to combine their personal splendour, with justice and advantage to the people ! But, alas ! lordly courtiers are usually worse informed than the Princes whom their own ignorance dares to instruct. The loss of the empire of Brazil to the House of Braganza, appears to have arisen from the very same cause as the loss of Belgium to the House of Orange—the employment of foreigners instead of natives. The example was recent and had no effect—and yet we hang men for example, not to Kings under moral instruction, but to men in habits of profli gacy, and then weakly wonder, that hanging one, does not reform another. Flattered then by his fa vourites, and deluded by the shouts of ragged chil dren, and the vulgar, or populace, who shout for any glittering thing his empire passed away as suddenly as that of BELTSHAZZER I Publicdiscontent may not always produce such a result; but it does so often, that KtlrG 'S ought to seek other Councillors, than stupid and ignorant Lords of their Court, whenever they discover deep-seated discontents in many po pular insurrections ; for of these, the Emperor of BRA Z IL had had warnings enough. Whether this Brazilian Court will seek an asylum in England, France, or the Azores, not withstanding the current, report may not at present perhaps he ascertained. If we may judge from l unauthorized statements, the late Emperor seeks the repose of private life ; but Princes are sur rounded by ambitious partizans, who force them to play artificial parts,; and we may, therefore, ex pect that PEDRO will not be allowed to be a cypher in regard to the future destinies of Portugal. The simultaneous revolution at Bahia, 500 miles distant from Rio, and the repeated republican in surrections at Pernambuco, prove that an infant Emperor has little chance of resisting the Ame rican predeliction for popular government ; and, in truth, the country is so vast, (2500 miles by 1800,) that we may expect it will split into three or four respectable republics. To British exports it can make little immediate difference, though it will disturb public relations and private obligations. It cannot, however, be concealed, that the security of Imperial bonds is less staple, and t'.at those who sought abroad for advantages, which our own industry has always presented to capital, will find their adventures in, at least, temporary jeopardy. The emancipation, too, of this fine country from the narrow policy of the Portuguese, and the esta blishment of civil and religious liberty, will change the current of Emigration from Europe, and seduce adventurers to establish themselves on a soil so pre-eminently fertile, and in a climate so healthful and agreeable. In a word, no country in the wold is so advan tageously situated as Brazil, for intercourse with the East and West ; and its political civilization will render it a formidable rival to the North Ame rican Stateii, in Products, Arts, and Industry.— We regard this Revolution, therefore, as pregnant with consequences to the fortunes and future his tJry of the human race. 1 t nearly completes the emancipation of both Americas from European domination, and affords free scope to the natural energies of those vast Continents. The following letter has been received from the Agent to the North and South American Coffee House, dated Bumf°. ATRU, MAlall IS. War between the boundary provinces of the Argentine Republic, and those of the Interior has actually commenced, and it will probably decide the question of predominance between the Unitarian and Federal party as yet no decisive action or any combat of great importance has occurred. The few skirmishes which have taken place seem to have been in favour of the Federal troops, and they have entered the pro vince of Cordova. The following is a brief sketch of the forces, &c. of the belligerents in this civil war. The boundary provinces consist of Buenos Ayres, Santa Fe, !Inherit's, and Carrientos. The latter province is, at present, a passive spec. tator of events, and little or no aid can be expected from F.ntre rios, that province . being in a state of constant inquietude, from the efforts of a Unitarian party in its own territory, and the Unitarian exiles and emigrants from Buenos Ayres, who swarm in the neighbouring State of the Banda Oriental. Buenos Ayres and Santa Fe are the active party in the war, and the Governments of these two provinces are decided and determined federal. The Federal Army, therefore, consists as follows : troops of Buenos Ayres, 700 cavalry, under Col. Pacheco, in active operation, in the province of Cor. dova ; 2000 cavalry and 2000 infantry, acting as an army of Reserve, on the frontiers, and commanded by the dove?. nor of Buenos Ayres, Don Juan Manuel Kolas; besides these, the Friendly Indians of this province are ready to act when called upon. The troops of Santa Fe consist of about 2,000 cavalry, including the Indians of Chaco. General Quiroga has about 300 to 400 men, which he collected in Buenos Ayres, in order to carry on a desultory warfare against the interior provinces ; and Colonels Ifarra and La Torre have nearly 500 men for the same object. The nine interior provinces now under the Unitarian sys tem of government, and over whom Gen. I'u has been up. pointed Protector, and Supreme Military Chief, are COT. dora, Santiago, Mendoza, San Luis, Riega, Catamaree, Tucuman, Salta, and Juan. The force which General Paz can bring into the field has not been well ascertained; he is at present acting on the defensive, but he has with him the flower of the old army of the re. public—the officers are of first rate talent, and all of them compromised in the system of Go vernment which he supports; he has likewise been well supplied with all sorts of warlike 'stores from Chill. 1 should think he may have about 2,000 men, cavalry and infantry, and a good artillery corps, besides contingents from the different provinces of the latter all fervent in the cause; the Protector can present a formidable front ; but this is doubtful. The Federals calculate upon considerable defec tion in that quarter, and call upon the inbakitants of the interior to join them in driving the military despots (as they are called) from the Republic. Trade, as may be well conceived,- Is in a most wretched statey—little or nothing doing. The mercantile community are out of heart, aware that if this civil war is protracted, it will go far to destroy the the little that remains of pro perty in this country. Exchange upon England 61 to 6i per paper; dollar doubloons 124 and 126, paper dollars each. The Govern ment has created 6 millions of dollars of new 6 per Cent. Stock, in order to meet the expenses of the war. The Buenos Ayres papers give some particulars of an engagement which took place, between Colonel PA CII ECO, commanding the Federals, and Colonel PEDE RN EIII , of the Unitarian party, in which the latter was routed, with the loss of fifty or sixty killed, as many pri soners, with his horses, baggage, &c. Several other engagements of a similar nature are detailed in these papers, and form the subject of three or four bulletins. We have the Prussian State Gazette this morn ing, giving the Russian account of the Battle of Ostrolenka, and preceding operations of their army. It is, as might be expected, partial and distorted.— The great conflict took place on the 26th of May; and we confine our extracts to the detail of that battle—the transactions of the previous two or three days not having much interest : On the 26th, at day-break, the army proceeded eight wersts on the other side of Ostrolenka. The Russian van.' guard consisting of a brigade of grenadiers, some regiments of cavalry, joined the army in woody defiles, where they attempted to make a stand ; but being charged with the bayonet, were soon driven out, and pursued to Ostrolenka. A division of infantry defended the town, which was taken at the point of the bayonet. Notwithstanding the fire, which broke out in several places, the Russian troops executed their movement with equal courage and precision, so that the enemy had not time to destroy the bridge over the Narew. At the same time, the hula= of the guard attacked the fourth regiment of the line, drove it into the river, and cut off the retreat of all those who did not perish by the sword or In the waves.— After these events, our brave grenadiers bad reached the other bank ; they penetrated into the columns which showed themselves, got possession of their cannon, and took up a position, by which they were masters of the road (causeway) to Warsaw. The rebels, in order to secure their retreat, and not to be obliged to peas a marshy stream in sight of the army, at tacked the Russian columns five different times, and were each time received by the Russian bayonets. Being vigorously repulsed, and almost crushed by showers of grape-shot, from the admirably served Russian artillery, the Poles desisted from further attempts. They took advantage of the darkness of the night to make their retreat; and by going a long way about, reached the cause way, which had cost them so many men. On this bloody day the Russians took three cannon, and made 1.500 prisoners during the action. Among them are a Brigadier General, four superior officers, and several subal terns, besides the wounded picked up on the field of battle, who are not included in the above number of prisoners.— Many others have been found who were leR behind in the neighbourhood during the retreat. The prisoners say that Gederal Kaminski was killed, and Gen. :Pac and HUI wounded. The immense loss which the Ruulans have caused the enemy, has been purchased by sacrifices; but they have again proved the superiority of their arms, and defeated all the projects of the rebels, who retreat with such precipitation, that notwithstanding the forced marches they had before made, they reached Rosen towards noon. At the same time, we have the satisfaction of making extracts from the same journal, admitting the successful progress of the patriot cause in Lithuania: WAns tw, MAy 31.—The Warsaw Gasettc of to day " head -quarters of ..:ur General-in.Citief acre yes today still at Prep. There were reports In circulation that General Olelgud has joined the Lithuanian insurgents, but nothing certain is known on this subject. Various reports are in circulation respecting the arrival of General Chlopicki in Warsaw. Some say he is expected s others pretend be hu already arrived, and even that he had yesterday a long inter. view with the Commander-in-chief at Praga." The Warsaw State Gazette says, detachments of our army are advancing into the province of Augustowo. On the 25th, they took the town of Augustowo, and are said to have reached Survalki on the 26th. Letters have been received, which say, that the Lithuanians bad crossed the Niemen, and taken possession of the district of Mariampol. It is said that General Jankowski is to have the command of the corps that is to operate on the line to Brsesc. The Russian Gen. Hants is encamped at Czerniegow, 15 miles South of Lublin : his cavalry operates in the country, from Kru. snyslaes towards Zarnosc. General Rudiger's head quarters were, according to the last accounts, at Dubience. Some skirmishes have occurred near Josekow, on the Vistula, and in Zalikow, in which our corps took prisoners, two Rus sian officers, and 34 privates. The same paper says that the Warsaw the day before yesterday; that he had a conference with the members of the National Government; and, after stopping a few hours, set out to join the troops on the other side of the Narew. With respect to the operations in the Province of Augustowo, the State Gazette reports, that the corps of General Sacken, having retreated from Lonna, carrying away the rich citizen Adam Benenwecki, who had caused the Russian army great injury, Gen. Gielgud, with the Polish troops, had followed the enemy, and pro. ceeded without obstacle to Razgrod ; so that the post from Crajewo has again arrived at Warsaw. was in The Warsair Gaulle of the day before yesterday says, " the headquarters of Gen. Uminski are again at Bizozing, near. Den. Denele. The news that that General had taken possession of Jeidsee, which the Russians had voluntarily abandoned, which was published by all the Warsaw papas, is not confirmed." The same Gazette says, that the Polish corps under Gen. Chlopowski, which has entered Lithuania, by way of Bianak, had, after taking, without striking a blow the town of Bielsk which was barricaded by the Russian garrison joined in the forest of Bralowica, the Lithuanian insurgents commanded by the Castello: Tysz. kiewicz." It also says, that news had been received from Augustowo, of the 20th inst. that 14,000 Lithuanian incur. gents had entered thelprovince of Augustowo; and having joined the corps of Major Puschet, had blockaded the Rus sian General Fricke, with a garrison of four thousand men, in Mariampol. Beaux, Josue 3.—The Sonieletri Gaulle has an article from Memel, which says.—" The Lithuanian Inuit. gents arc again assembling in great numbers on our fron. tiers, and appear to Intend to drive the Russian troops from Polangen, and gain the sea coast." Tit.sir, MAT 28.—Both the Russian troops and the Insurgents have retired from the frontier near this town. The first (10,000 strong), are said to have left Georgenburg, and concentrated themselves behind Newstadt. The insurgents are In considerable numbers at Teize. In the last advance of the Russian troops, they have shown great lenity to the places that were before in a state of insurrection.—Prussian State Gaulle, June 3 and 4. The above, as we have said, is Polish news, from the enemy; but it may be observed that the au thentic Polish news reaches us more directly than through Paris, for the attention which the Poles at first paid to France has been withdrawn, owing to a fatal discovery of the duplicity of the French Cabinet. The French papers do but echo the in telligence which we published several days ago; and, except in some reasonings, are of secondary importance. France, we regret to say, is now iden tified by the friends of liberty as an integral mem ber of the Holy Alliance. Italy, Poland, and Belgium, too palpably confirm the conclusion. In another column we present our readers with an extract from the eloquent speech of Mr. SYDNEY TAYLOR, upon the severity of our criminal laws, a gentleman, not only qualified by professional experience as a Barrister to deliver his sentiments on such an occasion, but who seems to possess a feeling heart, while he takes comprehensive and enlightened views on this important subject. We gave place, in the STAR of Saturday last, to the Newspaper report of public proceedings in the Vestry of St. Luke's, relative to what passed between Dr. Rica and the Bishop of LONDON, concerning the Reform Bill ; and, also, to an amended report, proceeding evidently from Fulham. There the matter might have ended ; but, as the affair has been generally noticed in the Provincial Papers, and appears to have created much public interest, we have re-perused his Lordship's (or his Chap lain's) statement, and really feel surprise at its admissions. This, and other cases, including that Of a Mr. PRITCHARD, a Partisan of Mr. NV E I. L FS LET'S, who had for several yinre held a voidable Living, merits a Parliamentary Enquiry ; for, as a a learned and able Churchman miy be a very un sound politician, we think his influence in Church affairs ought not to be directed to politics. The Bishop tells us, " that having hail his attentions directed to a report, he sent for Dr. Rica." But what was this report? —an anonymous or fictitiously signed letter of some unknown, concealed person ; are these times when such accusers of the brethren should be attended to, should be gratified with such prompt attention, by our lofty diocesans ? whose relation to their clergy, or flock, should render them their defenders and protectors. And by what authority did the Bishop of London send for Dr. Rice ? The Bishop of London knows that he is not Dr. Rice's Ordinary. Was not this, to act much like an ecclesiastical meddler, or busy body in other men's matters? And then he stated that he had no right to in terfere with the political opinions of any of his Clergy—no desire to prevent the expression of those opinions in any manner consistent with the clerical character. Was it, indeed, so important and necessary for him to state this negative to a Clergyman who is not one of his Clergy ? " But he felt himself bound to censure an application of the most sacred terms, which was little short of profane." Bound to obtrude into the jurisdiction —!o n531111H) the authority—to pronounce a cen sure, which to pronounce, belonged to the functiai of another Ordinary. And what is the application of the most sacred terms, which is little short of profane? The au thorized statement, says " the BISHOP, ha% in 2 had his attention directed to the report of a pubi.i. meeting in the parish of St. Luke," from which it appears, " Dr. RICE, the Curate, told the person s present, that their political Messiah was come " And is it on account of his having employ such a phrase as this, at a public meeting, that a man is to be stigmatized as such a gross ofethr' The meeting was held for a political purpose, in the parish of which Dr. RICE is the officiating clergy man ; where is the harm of his haring told tht , persons present, at such a meeting, that thou political Messiah was come. Who are they " that make a man an offender for a word ? "—as if nothing but profligacy of conduc t could sink a man lower in episcopal estimation than the employment of such a phrase ! Oh, how• would the profligate perpetrators of sensual, of fit. cular, and spiritual wickedness, in high stations in our Church, console themselves with such dictum trom the episcopal chair ? Then, for the Curate of the parish "to run the risk, whatever side he might espouse, of utterimr, such things—of taking a prominent part in public discussions !" We could point his Lordship to many hoary Curates, who want no dignity of cha racter, no virtues, no Christian graces, no attain ments, no qualifications of any kind, to make them Bishops, but to possess a patron of sufficient power. It might be worth while, perhaps, to enquire what the Doctor meant, more exactly, to tell the people, at the public meeting, when he announced to them that their political Messiah was come. Did he mean to tell them that the King, or the Minister, was their political Messiah ? Perhaps he did not, in the warmth of spontaneous speaking, very accurately distinguish, which he meant to de signate as occupying that very high office; or whether he ,meant to point to the King, the Mi nistry, and the Reform Bill. Yet a man could not talk such nonsense, as to tell the people that the Reform Bill was their po litical Messiah. But, if Dr. Rtca should employ such phrases in future, the Bishop will know what to do. Though not one pin may the Doctor cars for any threats, or any resentment. in port at t same W e hay' add, that tl sident had had been t had been t llrazilians. I • k I t • I • I , 1 I 4, ' t f t 1 I ) The new President is stated in these letters to be a most highly respected and influential man. Business was at a stand still, and the Exchange ' nominally at 32d. The Bahia Gazettes of the Bth and 9th of April contain, first, a proclamation from Don Luiz Paulo Aranzi Busto to the people of Bahia, stating, that they had a great number of grievances to be re dressed, which originated from Rio Janeiro, and now the time was come to assert their constitutional rights. Afterwards follows a proclamation of a new military commander, ta' ing upon himself the command of the military, and exhorting them to fraternize with the people and to maintain their constitutional rights. Then follows a decree, which deposes all the high military authorities. The commander-in-chief, Marshal Callado, is deprived of all authority, and sent on board a ship to Rio Janeiro, to account to the Imperial Government for all accusations brought against him. It also contains the several names of the new government. All the Portuguese and their families were em barked with their property; and the new Govern ment at Bahia had sent to Rio for the sanction of that Government to their acts. It is stated that about 30 lives were lost in the conflict. The de thronement of the ex-Emperor, Don Pedro, is at -1 tributed to his great partiality for the Portuguese, to all places of trust, to the exclusion of the Bra zilians, which, together with the intrigues of the priests, brought affairs to a crisis, and caused his abdication. THE EVENING STAR. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, Jima 9. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sit—When I read the foreign policy of the STA! ' my heart warms to see that there is at least one English Journalist wbo understands the real interests of his coun. try, and would sever it entirely from the trammels of the not yet extinct Holy Alliance, and connect it for all 6c• nefkial purposes with free and regenerated France. You are not, Sir, without a worthy coadjutor in the litornieg Herald, whose enlightened and able articles I read with xlmost equal delight ; but what has of late di. luted the Chronicle, As for the pandering weathercock Times, I loath it. Truly, Sir, we are in a straight about Belgium, and the Hotaxs, naturally enough, are resolved to make the most of it; and, such is the untoward biearrerie of the affair, they are aided in this, their baneful labour, by the ultra liberals of France ! Limberg Is the unfortunate tool wherewith these ill. assorted confederates are at work, to induce Belgium to throw herself upon France—there/1 adding the strength of England to that of despots in the war easy are preparing against liberty throughout Europe. _ May the film be timely removed from the eyes, both of French and Belgians ! England, they ought to know, can never suffer the incorporation of Belgium with France.-- Alas ! why do the friends of political freedom trifle with the great cause, and play into the hands of their crafty and most bitter enemies ? Can France discover no Indemnity but in placing, as it were, a pistol to the bosom of England ; and is it necessary to the security of Belgium, to obtain an entire province, carrying her into the very heart of her neighbour ? There can be no alliance between England and France, till the Belgian question is finished, and both Governments have committed themselves, that Limberg shall remain (it would be hard dealing were it otherwise) to the sorely stricken King of HOLLAND. Luiemburgh 13 quite another question : it ought to belong to Belgium. But is an alliance between England and France of no price? To me It seems paramount and invaluatl,:. It if. then, not only freedom for France, England, and Belgi um, but for Poland—glorious Poland I—perhaps also for Spain. Portugal, and Italy. England and France, combined, will speedily dissipate the storm which implacable tyranny is gathering, in contempt of the moderation of Louts Put. LIPPE, and his too pacific Ministers. Look at Austria, not only with her 150,000 soldiers in Italy, superintending the black deed done upon the brave MENOTTI ; but with her 100,000 on Ms Inn. It has been well said, " she fears Russia, but she hates liberty mon: Look to it Louts nutters, and Puree. Her troops have quitted Ancona, for Milan and Padua—the one at the foot of the Simplon—the other of the new military road over the Attila ; both lead to the frontier of France. Look at Prussia-150,000 men press upon the borders of struggling Poland, to restrain the cholera, bat also to se' se and disarm the flying Poles, and to re-equip and return upon the sane of their barbarities, the ruthless soldiers of Russia. Thorn is a depot of supplies for Diebitach, which depopu lated and ravaged Poland, can no longer furnish, and with• out which he must retire and knee her free-103,000 Pews• scans are on the Rhine, and will remain there as long as the Austrians are only upon the Ina and South of the Alps. Last, though not least, look at Spain—that riddle of Louis Philippian policy. Vital to France, either u friend or for, and easily convertible into the first, her obsiinete courage has nevertheless been suffered, if not eneeurag.d. to marshal itself under the banners of implacable absolutism and now armed and equipt for evil, instead of good, she only awaits the moment when France shall be engaged. either foreign war or domestic troubles, to repay the debt of 1823, as FZEDINAND 1104IM wish it paid. In vain has imbecility or treachery at Paris alternately flattered and deprecated the pitiful and faithless creature that governs at Madrid. Those gallant spirits who, instructed by experience, would ha" carded into the bosom of their country a solid and redone! liberty, deprived of their arms, or driven prematurely on ward by French authorities, are now presented by her minis• ten with the choice of service In French colonies, or of kittt;
