HIENCII PAPERS. PA niii, JAS. 14.—The fanatical journals continue to make a great noise about a pretended violation of the French territory by the Spanish troops. Now let us see what this offence, which has called forth such violent complaints, amounts to, according to the statemeufs of all private letters, and the journals published in the provinces adjoining to that in which it is pretended the violation took place. It appears, tiieu, that on the 29th of last month, after an en grgement bi.tween the Constitutional troops and the bands of the Faith, in which the latter were defeat ed, as usual, and fled, part into France, and part to Viskaolin; Assurs, at the head of 200 men, presented theMselves at a village common to both countries, and demanded guides frotn the French to point out their mud. There is nothing hostile in this proceed ing; indeed, it seems to indicate a desire to respect the French soil. It was for the local authority to grant or refuse the guides; and in the latter case. if their refusal were disregarded, to protest against such conduct ; but it appears that in the absence of the Mayor, his Deputy made no scruple to furnisq the guides who were demanded. Whether this functiottary has done right or wrung, it is nut con venient to discuss here; besides, the Prefect has • already eic.ded that lariat, by suspending him; all that we wished to do was to show that Cul. Assurs had not committed the offence fur which he is re proached by the Qaulilienne, the Dade, and the Drapeau Blanc, with a violence and coarseness, of which, fortunately, the French journals afford few • examples. Well, the Spanish troops having performed their march, arrived at Valcarlos, where they completed the defeat of those enemies whom they had previously routed. It is certain that Captain Armingol, the assassin of Col. Cruchaga, was killed in the action. As many as could escape in the confusion fled into . France, whither no attempt was made to pursue them • -• new proof that the Spanish troops never enter tained the design of violating the French territory. A letter from Bayonne, dated the 7th, gives the r {lp followin g details on the result of Gets. O'Donnel's • • expedition • " The attempt of Gen. cr Donna in Navarre has had the consequences which we expected. On the was • • 30th of last month that General was violently in- V.. . 4 suited at Estella by his own soldiers, who were worn • • 6 ,, • sot by the marches and countermarches he made them perform. The commandant Jauuito had an interview with him, and represented to him the dis content of the men, and their wish to risk a battle with she Constitutionalists. O'Donnel showed his instructions, by which lie was directed to confine himself to harassing and fatiguing the enemy. When Jaunito repeated this answer to the soldiers, they loudly testified their disapprobation; and O'Dunnel, whose health was considerably injured, apprehending that the minds of 'his soldiers would become still further exasperated, resolved to give up the com mand, and to return to France, by the way of' St. Jean-Pied ele-Port, along with some of his officers. It is said that he arrived at Bayonne yesterday, but this we cannot confirm; we only know that there have arrived at the St. Esprit, 24 cavaliers of the Faith, who, it is said, served him for his escort. We know not who will be his succeaor, nor whether he will have one. " The accounts from Navarre announce, that the position of the armies is such, that we every moment expect to hear of the complete defection °fate troops of the Faith, concentrated as they are in the moun taMs, and completely surrounded by the Constitu tionalists. On the 2d, 120 of Jaunito's soldiers presented themselves to the Alcade of Alegrin, to claim the armistice which was granted to them. " A commercial house of this town bas been com missioned by another of Vittoria, to negotiate with the .vents of the Faith, for the ransom of six indi viduals, who were taken us hostages and carried into the mountains. The demand wade is 12,000 pias tres, and the half of that sum has been offered. In ccinsequence of the want of money, there is little Lope of these unfortunate captives recovering their 1110' liberty. They belong to the commune of Credo, in Ita l ia. This is not the first time that our town has been made the theatre of such a shameful traffic." MADRID, JAN. 8.--The communications to be made to our Government in the name of France and the Cungreits of Verona have been expected here with a lively anxiety. The public mind was agi canal, but no symptom of trouble was manifested. Hostile intentions towards us, rather than actual hostilities, were expected from the Powers; and, should war even take place, the confidence of the Spanish people in the means the country possesses of rendering all the attacks of Europe abortive, con tributed much to the calm and tranquillity which contiinied to reign in the midst of the sort of crisis in which we are placed. On the stl), the Ft each Ambassador delivered to our Government the copy of the instructiuus of the French Minister. This note produced little sensation. The notes of the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian s 4~ i t • "0 9 I, 1 r C • THE- NATIOVAL REG Ministers. were delivered on the 6th. A report was at first spread that the Ruitsittn note was less mode rate than those of the other Powers ; but it was stxm learned that the notes were common to the three Cabinets The Spanish Ministers have referred the notes a France and the three Powers to the Council of State, in order to have the opinion of that body on the an swers to be given to these notes—answers which will 'te well considered, and will give a fresh proof of the excellent spirit which animates the men now at the head of affairs in Spain. It appears that the Council of State is to join to itself a certain number of the Deputies of the Cortes taken from the parties who exhibit the different shades of opinion remarked in thot assembly. The attitude of the Ministry and of the Cortes create in the people of Spain a feeling of confidence and security, which does equal honour to the Ministers and to the Congress as to the na tional character. Every one is perfecly satisfitl that that the replied of the Cabinet of Madrid will be so framed as to preserve uninfringed the dignity of ' Spain, at the same time that they will, by their mo deration, remove all. pretext for hostilities, which Spaniards will always be ready to repel, but which they are far from meaning to provoke. The Municipality has addressed a fresh repre sentation respecting the authors of the conspiracy of the 7th of July, and their accamplices. In this writing the municipality recites the measures which it has taken to forward the course of justice against these individuals; and it also reminds his Majesty, that it was only upon receiving a formal promise that the traitors should be punished, that the militia consented to separate and retire to their homes on the 12th of July. The address concludes with a prayer that the King will command the proceedings which have been commenced against the conspirators of the month of July to be conducted with activity. representation of a similar purpose was made by the Landaburian society on the sth, upon the motion of General Itiego, who said the rigour of justice ought not only to visit those individuals who have been placed tinder arrest, but also those who have hitherto escaped all molestation. The regiment of the cavalry of Aiming*, which condutced itself so gloriously on the 7th of July, has departed from Madrid. On the dsy previous to its departure, in the square of Reeollets. After the review, the soldiers demanded with loud cries to be led to the square of the Constitution. Having arrived there, they surrounded the stone of the Constitution, and renewed their oaths to die in de fence of their country, and the laws which they enjoy under the Constitution. The air resounded with cries of " The Nation ! the Constitution ! the National Congress, and the heroic people of Madrid! the Constitution or death !" Our journals continue to be filled with relations of the operations of the constitutional forces des patched in pursuit of the factions. The troops of General Torrijos and Mimi have been particularly mentioned as haviiig made the enemies of the con stitution suffer considerable losses. The latter are pursued in all directions, and are not permitted to have a moment of repose in any place. A curate and two other leaders of rebellious bands have been arrested in Biscay. The constitutional troops exhibit the same activity in Arragon. The fortress of M:quinenza is closely blo:kaded. The measures for enforsing the levy which has been decreed by the Cortes are conducted every where with regularity, and, in many of the pro . vinces, with enthusiasm. Eight hundred recruits have set out from I% , ladrid to join the army. Similar detachments are on their march in all the provinces for the same destination. They sing patriotic songs, in passing through towns. Ativices from Rio de Janeiro to the 81st October were re.•eived on Saturday. On account of the re luctance of the Emperor to sanction some new mea sures proposed by the Ministers, they had all ten dered their resignations, which were accepted. The persons however applied to to succeed them, hay ing all declined office, and memorials for their resto ration having been seat in by the citizens, the old Ministers, after only two days absence from power, were all reinstated in their functions. A procla mation, dated the 28th of October, had been issued at Rio de Janeiro by the Emperor, avowing the intention to disdains all connexion or union with Portugal, unless within four months the indepen dence of Brazil is acknowledged. The Archbishop of Canterbury was attacked sud denly when on a journey into Nottinghamshire, on a visit to his sister, accompanied by his lady and daughters. He was taken ill at Alconburv-hill, in Huntingdonshire, and the attack was so alarming, that his Grace did not proceed on his journey,but returned to Eaton, in Bedfordshire. His Grace procureil medical advice there, and the medical gentlemen of that place accompanied the Atchbishop to Lambeth Palace, whese they arrived on Thurs day last. H:s Grace was pronounced out of danger on Saturday, _...• R FROM LAST ATIGUT'S GAZETTE. CROWN OFFICE, SAW. la. MEMBER returned to serve in this present PARLIAMENT.

Sixteen County Meetings are about to be held. and to assist those who intend to oppose any propo sition to defraud the fundbolder, as well as to con vince those who arc inclined to advocate such a measure, we again submit the following statement founded on incontrovertible facts, which we gave nearly a twelvemonth ago:—" A gentleman died in 1788 possessed of 2,0001. per annum, leaving behind hint two sons. To James, who was the elder, he left his funded property of 1.0001. a-year. To George he left his landed property, then on lease at a rental of 1,0001. which leases expired in the year 1793. Each was satisfied with the arrange ment, and from the advance that took place in the price of stocks from 1788 to 1792, James was thought by nun, to have the best of the arrange ment : but in 1793, the war broke out, and things took a different turn. James's income continued the same, and as all articles of consumption during the war advanced to double the price, and his 1,0001. a-year, could purchase no more than 5001. would have done is the year 1788, it was virtually a tax of 50 per cent. upon his income. George was a prudent man, raised his rents when the leases ex pired in 1793 at once 50 per cent. which he let on leas: for 7 years, and before the 7 years were ex .11. ~..44 0
