OCT. 1. THE NATIO mon practice. The parliament of Rotten passed an arre t against killing of calves : it was a preposterous one, and op .pesed by administration ; but it had its full force; and had a butcher dared to offend against it, he would have found, by the rigour of his punishment, who was his master. Ino culation was favoured by the court in Louis XV.'s time; but the parliament of Paris passed an arret against it, much more effective in prohihitinpi, than the favour of the court in encouraging that practice. Instances are innumerable, and I may remark, that the bigotry, inorance, false prin ciples, and tyranny of these bodies were generally conspi cuous; and that the court (taxatr,n excepted), never had a dispute with a parliament, bl:t the parliament was sure to be wrong. Their constitution, in respect to the admi nistration of justice, was so truly rotten, that the members sat as judges, even in causes of private property, in which they 'were themselves the parties, and have, in this capa city, been guilty of oppression and cruelties, which the crown has rarely dared to attempt. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. REVOLUTION IN SPAIN. CoßUxx.►, SEPT. 19.—A very unexpected event has just tak , n place here. General Porlier, who had been confined lyre by the King's orders, in the Castle of St. Antonia, ever since August, 1814, but obtained permission last month to visit the bath of Artrijo on account of his health, last night assembled the troops quartet ea at Santa Lucia, close without the gates, and entered this city at one o'clock this morning, where he arrested the Captaip General of the province, the Governor of this city, arfd two or three other persons. By three all was quiet, and a: pet feet tranquillity prevails as if nothing had happened. The following is the General's proclamation:— PROCL %MATTO,/ Annitr.ssEn BY DON JUAN' DIEZ PORLIFB TO Till•' SOLDIERS OF TIM ARMY OF THE KINGDOM OF GALLIcLt• Soldiers !—The happy nod desired day is arrived, in which, by our heroic and gl resolution, to t e begin to break the chains of the roost fatal• slivers? that has evvr been known.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PA Els, SEPT. 25.—The most common phrase in the months of the French at this moment, is, " What will be the catastrophe, Dow that the tragedy is brought to the fifth act." Their langnage borders upon the extravagance of despair ; they look upon the present mo• inent at a crisis, respecting the issue of which they are in utter dark nest, but which must inevitably throw France into a state of colivnl sion. The state of the public feeling may he judged of from the manner in which tlin National Guard, who were on duty at the Louvre on Friday mornisse, are spoken of 01'1,1)21100 Paris ; they Ore loaded with elle niAs 11 , 111 A r(prabatioss for not having supported I)sainn, soya is ashnission 10 the Faiglisli at the p int of the I).lp.tit t. The iestitt, Hwy say, would II:tvt• liven, that the of Paris would have risen noon Ilse Allies, and " delivered Franey " '[hey talk of the practicability of a general massacre without the least reserve. It is erliditi, that a plot was in the course of last week, and that several persons, whose names are not know it, have been put into pri•on ; the object wit is said to have been au attack upon all the Prussian poets Paris; for .this purpose a large hotly of the conspirators were to wear Prussian tositiirms, and gluts ove ;come, with the zreater faci lity, the Prussian troops oche:111y on gears'. considerable num ber of Priessiair un,turuis have bevai 7lisev Vfred in the house of a per. son residing in the Foet bourg st.

The soldiers . oh-erved them but did not disperse them, which, in such rases, is aloays done by the French police. Some Atiettiati' I roops have been on duty there this slay ; and to-morrow, it is said, the removal of all the Italian statues atisl paintings will be coMmencesl.
