We this day give at full length the speech of M. de Villele in the Chamber of Deputies, in justifica tion of the projected aggression of France and Spain, and we do so because we are convinced that nothing we could say in condemnation would go so far in the exposure of the views of the French Govern ment, as the absence of solid grounds of excuse, which will be found in the speech of the Minister in viestion.—ln almost every point, what he asserts as fact is falsehood—from one end to the other he _ We have received United States papers to the Ist inst. The 'National badlisencer of the 29th contaias the appnintment of Ministers to the new Government of Spanish America. Gen. Atilrew Jackson has the mission to Mexico, With the titles of Envoy'Extraordinary and Minister Plenipaen tiary ; the rest have only the latter designaton.— The news of the meditated aggression on Split) by France had reached Washington, where, and in the United States generally, a lively interest is taken in the question. " The European news," sus the official paper, " is of such a diameter as to leave us little room to doubt that the alternatives of war or disgraceful submission have been presented to the Spanish nation. Should this news be covfirmed, and Spain prove tree to herself, she will have on her side the best wishes of the people of thiscountry, to u hose feelings nothing can he more revolting than the interposition of fitreign bayonets in the domes tic dissensions of any people, particularly when the avowed olject is .to compel them to change their form of government." THE N cw.Jutue.—Mr. Sergeant Hulloek wagon Saturday last sworn in as a Judge—this ceremony has been deferred, in consequence of the learned Sergeant's name having been included in a Com missioner under the late inquiry respecting Lord Portsmouth.—The promotion of Mr. Sergeant Hul lock to the Bench makes, necessarily, a certain vacancy in the lead on the Northern Circuit, which would instantly be filled up by SOIAC barrister of equal standing, unless Mr. Brougham wefts, on the spot to take his chance of the advantage to Which his talents fairly entitle him. Mr. Brougham is thus compelled, in justice to himself, and in the duty of securing, by his exertions, his independence of character, to leave the I louse of Commons, at a .moment when his eloquence is. tabling fresh dignity and force to the cause of civil liberty—and he is thus compelled to be absent, because the Lord Chancellor does not choose to give the due rank to a man who disdains to harter his principles for any personal advantage. The profession, of which Mr. Brougham is so distinguished an ornament, ought to • feel the slight put - upon him an an injury to their entire laxly. • PlltiCar OFF ST. DOMINGO•ExtraCt of a letter from Aux Cayes, dated Jan. I :—" Yesterday 1 arrived from Jame': the day before we sailed, the master and crew of the brig I'm° &eaters, of New berry Port, ur.ivcd in their long boat, their vessel having been captured the day previous, uut above 12 miles from the harbour. The mode of capture is rather novel, and should be made known, as, should the pirates be driven away front Cuba, this neighbourhood offers great shelter as well us phut der :—The vessel was a schooner of 80 tons burden ; bhe sent her boat with four men to the brig, stating they were in want of water, and as a matter of course they were supplied, during which they re connoitred sufficiently to satisfy themselves that the brig %would be an easy capture. The boat soon re turned, and the brig was again boarded by arimal men, who drove the crew below, and fastened down the hatches; and the poor fellows were kept in this situation twelve hours. The'inaster was then or dered 'on deck, and was desired to deliver all his money, or they would hang him. He gave them 500 dollars, saying he had no inure ; they were nut satisfied ; but being anxious to get oil into some bay or other, they ordered the master and crew off in their boat,. with only the clothes they had on." A public dinner is to be given next week to their Excellencies the Ministers Plenipotentiary from Spain and Portugal, and to the Duke of San Lo renzo; the Itigrit Hon. Lord William Bentinck, Lieutenant-General, M.P., ace. in the chair. The object of the intended dinner, it is understoml, is to demonstrate on the part of the British public their participation in the sympathy expressed by both Houses of Parliament in the fate of the Spanish Peninsula. A requisition to the High Sheriff of Essex, to convene a meeting of the county, to take into con sideration the distressed state of agriculture, is in the course of signature. Various resolutions have been framed by the authors of it, together with the rough draft of a petition to Parliament. The re quisitionists complain, that fier some years the receipts of a farm have been, and still are, wholly inadequate to the expences; so much so, as to cause the utter ruin of thousands of farmers, and rapidly exhaust the capital of the moat opulent and industrious. The petition urges the House to take their case into im mediate consideration, and the chief' object of their prayer is the total repeal of the malt duty. A cstavoy of Indlion. front Cadiz arrived at Madrid en the Bth ult. It was conveyed in 21 wagznus. " like a tall Bully rears his head and lies," and yet our readers will see how poor a case he makes out, aided as he is by falsehood and misrepresentation. The prohibition of exportation of arms and am munition to Spain has been (to the honour of our Government) removed, by an Order of Council— one thing more they have to do, which is to repeal the Foreign Enlistment Act, and then Englishmen may legally be again the means of defending the li berties of Spain against the arrogant assumption of France—perhaps the only difference may be, that in the first instance they did it in opposition to ambi tious ability, while in the second they will do it in opposition to unmixed stupidity. THE FUNDS, SATURDAY. IIALP-PAST Two &CRAWL Three expresses reached town from France this morning, bringing the renter at 81f. 65e. Yester day, being settling-day in Paris, the Bank of France had given previous notice of their readiness to take in Bull acconnts—to which must be attributed, the present high quo:ation. So large a Bear account has never yet been known in Paris. Private letters concur in representing the accumulation in the Bank of 'trance of specie and bullion, as amounting to between thirty and forty millions sterling. Notwithstanding the favourable prices of the French Funds, Consols, which opened at 73, gra dually declined to 7'2l3—the market heavy. But f.r there being, daily, Beers of money stock, Consols could not have been sustained. There is, in fact, at present, an actual scarcity of floating stock of every description, the monied iukrest having gene rally got out. Hence, the amount of money lying unemployed in bankers hands, is enormous. The great Bull accounts being however, now pretty well cleared off, the principal Joilbers have their hands at liberty fur fresh speculation. Fonetost.—Spanish opened at 32—now at 31. — Scrip 343-35 di:. Foreign is generally flat, and little doing except in Spanish. Private advices from the frontiers of Catalonia, state, that the most energetic measures of preps. ration are making in Barcelona, where all the men from twenty to forty-five years of ago, are called out as a local militia; and that the utmost vigilance is exerted to prevent all avoidance of this service. Similar activity is displayed in reference to supplies of provisions. All persons possessed of wine, brandy, and oil, if the quantity of oil exceeds 80 quartals, or if the other articles exceed l'our loads, are to make a return of the quantity under a heavy pe nalty. The insurgents of the Lampourdan are utterly dispersed, and the chiefs are flying into France. So complete was the surprise at Barga, that Misas escaped from a window nearly naked.— A body of French volunteers are under organiza tion at Figuera, and they arc to receive the highest pay. The Spaniards receive very freely into the ranks all who THE BRITISH NEPTUNE. An arrival from the Spanish Main at New York had brought accounts of the recovery of the province of Coro by Morales. Mexico is described to bt in a state of anarchy; Vera Crum and the neiglibour ing provinces having declared for a republic it op. position to the despotic Government of hut'We, and a contest of some duration being likely to ensue. . 60 LONDON FASHIONS FOR MARCH.
