'- • • . ft appears from tows articles of Madrid intelligence, given in the French papers, that Bertran de Lis, who used to be a speeker in the Landahurian Society, has plthlished a vindication of his condwct is ilk respect to it Task which he nude to King Ferdinand, just before that ' Monarch resolved to dismiss the Ministers. Bertran de. Ids states, that Ferdinand expressed a reluctant)! to leave Madrid at a time when there was no danger to render his departure necessary. Hisliajesty also obierveti, that his premature departure might damp public opinion, and, afford an opportunity for casting imputations on the Ministry; that if he were to remove from Madrid to ■ a small town, it would appeir that he *as not free; and that it would be said he was controlled by a faction; of , which pretext, foreign and domestic enemies might avail themselves. Such, it seems, is the story told by Bennie de Lis. Is he a dope himself, or does he presume upon the credulity of the people of Madrid, to whom his ex planation is addressed? MADRID, Fan. 23. 7 -Whilst intrignes for a choke of Ministry were going on at Madrid, they were also car ried on at Lisbon. The following is what is contained on this subject in the Universe( of this day :—We have is our hands a letter from Lisbon, dated Feb. Li, written by a person whose word can be depended upon. This states that there has bren discovered in that city a very powerful intrigue - for overturning the present Ministry, aryl particularly /11.'1 1 1NRIttRO, Minister for Foreion Af fairs, to restart! him, without doubt, for the dignity. and great success with -widen this experienced diploinatist has been able to defend the, national honour and.* in•= terests of his country, in the late negociations that 'he hid' bail with- the British Cabinet. The coincidence of two' plots so much alike at Madrid end Lisbon, exactly at the same time, should call the attention of all worthy men, and of sincere friends of the glory, prosperity, independ ence, and reptile of Vpain ; bat the intrigue of Lisbon has been disconcerted just in the same way as that at , Tholsid. The two Ministries appear firmer than before the attack." BAYONNE PAPERS. Bayonne Papers, which have arrived to the Rd inst. I continue to state that the most formidable hostile prepa rations are in ts state of great forwardness on both sides, and every appearance portends a most dreadful conflict. The inhabitants of Saragossa have again sworn rather to bury themselves under tile ruins of their walls, than sub mit to the French. The fano% ing are the last iccounts: " Bayonne, March 1. " It is well to know that there is a plan at Madrid to prevent the removal of the King, which may succeed if the Ministry has not sufficient strength to baffle. Mean time Bessiires does not lose sight of the capital. He bad several engagements with Abisial on the Stith, 17th, and 18th, in which he even gained some advantage, having taken 300 prisoners, including 50 cavalry. On the 20th about 60 wounded arrived at Madrid, which feriae, the reports that were ei reulated on the 19th of a complete vic tory having been gained by Abisbal. This last despatch.of the 18tb, from the environs of Sigueaza, announces that the army had evacuated that city, sad was at Medici Celi. lithe Constitutionalists do not make Mute to rein forre Ahisbal, a second alarm Is to be apprehended for Madrid, because Bessieres becomes daily stronger. A report has been circulated that he had detached a division on the road of Samosierra, and the last Extraordinary Courier, who passed through Bayonne the day before yesterday, con hurled this nests; we do sot, however cre dit it, but rather thick is must be Merino and his bawl. " It was the son of the Earl of Hopetoun who lately passed through Bayonne, coming from Madrid; and not Lard Fituoy Somerset, who has not quitted that Ca ll pital. ' UAn Expeess, received yesterday evening by the Cote. mittee of the F..ith in this city, positively states that Bessieves was on the 25th nit. at Soria, anti that the greater part of his division w. 5 proceeding towards the Ebro, in the directieo of Etudel, Alfara, and Logrono. He had sent the must pressing orders to collect immedi ately on the banks of that river all the troops of the Faith that could be disposed of. The number of soldiers under him is considerable; for he brings with him 6,000 conscripts, besides his division. which is 5,000 strong.', . MAI -- ARR. DVS. I ARR.

Lv TOE LORDS, on Friday, there teas nothing worthy of notioe•whicb did notafterwards come into the Cott atorfs, the same day;' where Mr. Peel described the Act ,abOat to be pissed for the sale of public property, callet' . erearn-properly.,lf. we.bitd any thing to do with this 'matter, that Bill sheitld never pass vriilio — ut a famous good Stir' being'ina . de against it.

Sir 'l, . • • :, Lethbridge, and even bli. Hume drought that in the •, preterit eirceiristweees of Moto:Wry, it might net be -.de to redness the arm, to What it was in 1792. What, then they have some notion of war, have they! How nicely the Ministers manage this matter! How. clever, to get the great thundering army voted while people's miu Is arc bothered with the question between peace and war ! There mill be no war Sir Thomas; or if there be, you need not care a straw about "openers ; for all will be paid honestly in good hard paper-money. Only, the good of the joke will be, that all the establislnnents will be voted while we are balancing between peace and oar; , and then there will be no war, and no good bard paper money. I, like a foal as I was, gave the Jews a glimpse of this good hard papa-money. too soon ; and now they are crying for peace just as loudly as they Cried for war before. There was a Mr. Jones who said that the sala ries were rather too low than too high, and that we wanted a large army to keep the colonies that we con quered diving the war. This word conquered is a favo rite word. "We conquered France," and now the French are going to conquer Spain ; and the glorious debt that we conquered will effectually prevent us from moving-hand or foot in defence of Spain, unless we pre serve national faith inviolate by paying the interest of that debt in good hard amignits. Mr. Denmun intitnated that he was now going to be absent for some time, and that he therefore would take that opportunity of expres sing his abhorrence of the principle upon which the French were about to invade Spain. He went so' far as to nay that he trusted that we ihould be at war the uno• meat the French crossed the Pyrenneea. The Ministers said nothing. Mr. Canning, the Courier tells us. was at home With A " smart attack of the gout"? The Ministers said nothing upon this warlike subject ; but Hohne Sum ner, the well known member for Surrey, who was sitting upon the same bench with the minister., got up cud dis tinctly reprobated all idea of going to war, at the same time that he paid no very high compliments to the Spa niards or their constitution. lie said that "their con " stitution was no more like liberty than their bonds " :erre like property." The ministers beard this from their own bench without saying one si4gle word; and for our parts, we do not think that Hohne Sumner would have said this if he had thought that it would have been displeasing to the Ministers. Sir W. de Crespigny - (from the oppo.ition side) agreed with Hahne Sumner ; and, while the dinner-fight turned oat to be very pacific ; while no one there even hinted at war; certainly in the House of Commons nothing hap pened that was not decidedly on the side of peace.—lt is very curious how the war cry has died away. You would have thought that the Old limes and the Morning Chronicle were ready, _three weeks ago, to fight •up to their knees its blood.--They are become as gentle as doves ; and each seems to have the olive branch in its mouth. How right were we, then, when we said that the noisy speeches and the bullock ing Paragraphs would produce no effect! How right were We, and have been, all the way through. The truth is, we have had common sense to guide us, and have not been under the influence of stock-jobbing inter ests. The papers which we have named, and, indeed, all the whole tribe, were in a rage with the French for haring marred their stock-jobbing projects. They were, boiling with anger against the Bourbon., beams' the Bourbons - had caused a disturbance in their tratfick. While this rage was upon them, they bellowed fur war ; but when they began to grow cool; anti espnially when they began to look at the assignata which we proved to them would be the conarquence of war, then they took council from their prudence ; th m they changed their tone; and we are convinced that they Wm.,' i now not be for war,thongh the French were to take posstosign of the Isle of Wight. All is completely changed; and we should not be at all surprised to hear these same papers 'expressirig their wish that the French might hare ear cm! These papers have nothing really at heart but their own stock-job:ing trausactioas, and their trade in paragraphs and advertisement. ; and the pen' Spaniards will time, after all, that there are no prints in E ngland, ex cept those which are under Olt intluence that will main tain the jasticc.of their cause.—To a certainty the dinner never would have taken place, if the time for ordering it had been a week later. The dinner was not intended to rouse the people in behalf of the Spaniards. It was in tended to draw forth a ouster on the side of one of the political caba's ; on the side of the anti-orange cabal; but that cabal •having been quieted by a reconciliation somewhat like that between Peach= and Locket, the dinner certainly would never have been ordered if it had not been ordered before that reconciliation took place. Little do the Spaniards know about the real cause of the dinner. Little do they know how to estimate the motives of the parties ; and, like all person, in a similar situation, they will be very dttScult to be undeceived. td BOURBON WAR. •1 1 be sgirthge at Paris cirrus to bove.heett fal)crredky' nothing of any consequence. M. Maotiel is expelled for the session ; which is quite as well as being irrspri• soled fur the "..c.siont as Sir Francis Ilatdctr was. They were both wired by syldiers ; one in the Chamber, and the other in his own Noose ; so that this" classic /mond of liberty" a; Sir James filarkintosh, in his sickening style, cells the co entry where Joseph Swann is irnpri oa ed, and where men are . shut up in their houses from salami to sun-rise, and whence' they can be trans ported without trisl by jury in con.equence of a bill that was first driWn up by the Brest srliig Mr. Grattan, and intended to be put in force I y the whig min'stry; y ea , this clank ground of liberty," of uhirh Sir 'James pratil , dat the dinner, cast siA`a membrrs of the minority turned out by members of the m . ..jurity, just as e:fectually, and a greet deal more quietly then the same thin 7, was done in Prance. We, for our part., like this rrench Chamber ; we like the furious quarrelling that takes place in it ; it shows the niefarts to be hi earnest; it shawl the thing not to be a Awn ;it ,how that the I parties are really diridete: and that it is not s sham di vision for the sake of cheating the people. In short, this Ch.tinb?r of I.) , pniies in Frani., s: cm es if they really were - chosen by a part of the people, at any rare ; and •npt as if they were a. set of some . stupid and same crafty, and: alkfalse,treatares crammed inj the Chimber by ,the -cotnwrlnt of the devil knows who. • •Wo like this ~ i f . Chawbet; and we at tl.r 'rave observations wliizts the corrupt =I villainous stock jubbiug press in Lond e wake upon the indecurousuttra of i proceedings. We like such indecorousness; we should not like a set tittaxe cheater.. The rest of the news from Paris is of trifling im port. It seems that the grenerals are srtting out for tile armies; and we may expect to bear of their mitering Spain in a vet) , short space of time.—There stems. to have been not the smallest effect produced by the holly.. ing sp echrs and rairagraphs in London.—By this time the French are perfectly siiisli:d that we shall not in.tir 7 fere in the war. By their manner of talking, one r u ined suppose that they never expected that we should inter fere. They seem to miderstand the state of oar affairt exceedingly well : a great deal better than it seemato be understood by thou who, three weeks ago, were bawling foe use. Paris Journals to the Bth inst. have arrived since oar last. They auttlit the exist's:weer gonaiderable agitat'm in the French Capital; though it is a subject on IWO: they evidently abstain, either through choice or l:Ar, front dilatin:r. The Boulevards are the chief scat of the disturbances, and one which took place on Wedneslay evening near the gate of St. Denis seems to have occ sioned considerable alarm. The people assembled in large 'mutters, and shunted," Vice Manuel!" " k:ce Liberter Having been driven from that post by the Gendarmede,they reassembled on theßouleurd of Fun dy, where they found themselves, however, in a erase condition, Lye whilst the Gendarmes pressed upon them' on one side, the troops of the line advanced on the other. Some of them, it is said, were take piisontrs, and the r et escaped to the boulevard of the Temple, where ti.er set up the cry, not only of Vice Mannet," but of „ .F‘t• cm so the Spaniards." The Serjeant of the Nation 4 Guard, who with his party refused to obey tl.e rash order to turn 51. Manuea out of the Chamber, is a lace man.- facturer of the name of MIIRCIER, and has become ent:- nently popular. Many deputies of the Opposition N oi r ,' at his house to thank him for the fruitless and decision ogilch he displayed on that occasion ; and is t e Nation a! Guard in general is known to be actuated by the same spirit, no measures have been taken, either by the Insju rtity of the Chamber, or by the Government, to call him to account for his conduct, lest offence should be given to the whole body, to whom it had bees origin- ally intended to entrust the police of the capital daring the war with Spain. In the Sitting of Thursday last, the law toe makinrthe veterans disposable during the war came 10 be discussed. There were no Del:oldies on the Left Side; only a few 31embers were seen on the Left Centre, and the atten l ance of those tt as merely for the purpose of debluing that they would not ,spea,k on the project submitted to the Chamber.
