With regsril to Spain, we do not think It possible to change our political Monarchy. Invulnerable by ostr position, guarded by the Pyrennees, the ocean, and oar national spirit, our method is our own, and snit' only oarselres. We have 'no forced contact ith .aliy Power on the Continent, excepting Portu gal, which does not in the least disturb us. England may oppose our communication with our colonies, in ease orwar ; hut we are. familiar wit this idea, and comnlquently.it does ,not intimidate us. Spain was of more value in herself before the di:covery of Ame rica. This idea censo!es us. The king is adored by the most numerous class in the Sate. The Clergy are entirely devoted to the Government, and even the number of mal.contents is less to be feared. W e have only to dread the embarrassod state of our finances. With regard to other affairs, let foreign nations undeceive themselves. Spain exists on little, and the plethurss of luxury excite no regret in a people to whom they are unknown.

FERDINAND Of SPAIN comes very appropriately into review, at the mention of that powerful charm which we have been exercising with such disinterest edness for the renovation of the Continent. His generous and mindful spirit is showing itself in the usual way—for, we regret to say, the ru mour of his being compelled to change his met— sores with his place of residence, is not trael.a. Prisons and chains are will the lot of those wh 'dare to talk of liberty. There is soMetbing herd in this certainly, and even odr Government scrqns osy so,—but it is nothing new. We have so fresh arrivals from the Continent to day. The Paris Papers, of the 1601, the principal contents of which we communicated yesterday, and the other arrivals from Holland, have rendered the French Papers of the preceding days that were and are meriting of little consequence. In the absence of further intelltgence,we make a few additional extracts from the Foreign Journals in lltgnd., !rho proceed legs in the French Houser ie. lergisleture are still worthy of attention ; but onrchief regard must, for This being St. Thomas's-day, the election of Com awhile, be directed to the grand focus of political mon Councilmen in the different Wards of this City commenced at the usual hour, but the business had leterest—the Congress at Vienna.
