A Scotch paper observes that Spain, with her new Constitution, approaches somewhat towards our own •ystern; and that, therefore. it is unnatural in us to wish success to the French. Now, singular as our taste may be, if it were shown to us to be true, that the new Spanish system approaches towards our own, we should not like the new Spanish system any better for that : for we do rot like to pee people shut op in their houses from sun set to sun•rise ; we do not like to see men transported without trial by jury; we do not like to see upwards of sixteen hundred men in one year, put into prison for poaching; we do not like to see three thousand new iranses building about this town, and to see the tax-eat ers rolling in luxury, while the villages are crum bling into ruins, and while the agricultural la bourers, having balf-a-crown a week, to live upon, stand shivering in gravel-pits with bits of sacks tied upon their shoulders, and with their legs wrapped round with bay-bands. Singular as oar taste may be, we do not like the Spanish system the better for any approaches that it may have made towards us.—ln one respect, in deed, the Spanish system is a young one of the English breed.: it has began with waking that most infernal of all things, a fending system. People tell us, in apologis ing for this, that the Cortce could not raise money in taxes; that they were compelled thus to anticipate the resources of the country. If this be the case, all that we can say is, the Spanish people were not fit to make the change that has been made. It would have been better to let the thing remain as it was, than to make a change, which, at its very outset, was to mortgage the labour of the child in the cradle to that hellish hand, called stock jobbers. I speak for myself ; and I distinctly say, that the despotism of Turkey would be more agreeable to me than the power of the Jews and Jobbers. I wish the Spanish people to be free and happy ; but, to be free and happy, and to be mortgaged to the Jews at the same time, is impossible. CONSPIRACIES IN FRANCE. The French papers have, at last, noticed what our stork-jobbing press has said about these conspiracies, which appear to have had no existence except in our newspapers—Things remdin in mach about the same state in France. The ievasion of Spain has not yet taken place; bat it appears that it will not be many days before it will. The Morning Chronicle tells as that the French Government have sent to the Allies, preasing them to march an army to the French frontiers. We do not believe one word of this. It is, we are convinced, totally false. We think our intelligence from France a little more authentic than that of the Morning Chronicle; and, according to oar intelligence, France never was more flourishing or more contented.—lt is not uninteresting to observe, that several persons in Paris have been tried for uttering seditious cries, and for resisting the peace officers on the day when M. Manuel was excluded from the Chamber. Among others, was a lawyer of the name of Rosen; another, Seneier, is a merchant, which probably means a shop-keeper. There were besides, a servant, • waiter, a proprietor (of houses we sup pose), and a merchant's clerk. The crown lawyers gave up the prosecution against all but the lawyer and the merchant. The former was sentenced to a year's imprisonmeot, with a fine of five hundred francs, or shout twenty pounds. The merchant was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and to pay a fine of fifty I francs, or about two pounds two shillings!—Why, the lenity of these sentences, compared with the severity of the sentences in similar cases in England ; this alone is enough to show the difference in the nature of the two Governments. Look at Joseph Swan; who had already , been imprisoned nearly three months, Sentenced by the justices of the peace in Cheshire to four year: and a half imprisonment, fur having sold what here called seditious pamphlets, and for having been present at a reform meeting, without having spoken at that meeting. Look at Joseph Swann, who has )et eighteen months of his imprisonment to undergo, and who has a wife and four children, left to starve or to become paupers. This poor man has been extremely ill during a great part of his imprisonment. There he is in his prisop yet, while Lopez Is at large and even sitting in Parliament! Go, Norning Chronicle: go, call the Bourbons tyrants as long as you please ; I will not be guilty of such flagrant baseness as to call them tyrants, and at the same time te boast about the " Classic Ground of Liberty." SUFFOLK COUNTY-MEETING. An account of this will be found in another part of ear paper. The meeting appears to have been solely for reform of Parliament; nothing very particular took place ; but we think that the petition might as well have omitted an expression of jealousy, at the "designs which " the powerful and unprincipled invaders of Spain may " entertaia against the free constitution of Ene,lancl." We think that, for the sake of avoiding ridicule, this alarm might have been suppressed ; for, it is either very gross affectation, or it proceeds from still grasser igno rance. The invaders of Spain know too well whi t our "free constitution" is, to entertain the slightest wish to see it altered.—ln the course of the proceedings at the meeting, a Mr. James Macdonald observed tbat,"he lobk ed in vain for that spirit and energy in the country gentle " men which had distinguished their ancestors." We do lot know exactly what Mr. Macdonald means; but, beg ging his pardon, we think that these country gentlemen Ad /owl i.eting. THE STATESMAN. have exhibited a great deal more energy than their ances tors were permitted to exhibit. Their ancestors never had nearly seventeen hundred men in prison in one year for being in pursuit of hares and partridges. Their ances tors were pretty well in this way, blit by no means so energetic as those of the present day. To be sure, they do not show much energy when placed before the long bearded gentry of the 'Change. They slink a little then, hut, to be compelled to slink, is precisely what is their due. Mr. Macdonald complained that " France was " rich and wicked enough to attack independent States ; " that it appeared that in the same degree that France " flourished, England sunk ; and that he should always " consider these days as days of humiliation to Eng " land." These seotiments are just enough ; but they are expressed at a time when it is useless to express them. TheY should have been entertained and acted upon, long and long .ago.—Reform, Mr. Macdonald says, is the remedy for all this; but he knows as well as I do, that there never will be a Reform u long as the Interest of the Debt shall be paid in full. To this we always come: It is useless to talk about Re , form, so long as the funding system remain what it now , is. It will not remaiu what it now is, a great deal longer ; but in what manner it will be changed, no man , can tell. Paris papers have arrived to the 4th instant, hut have brought no news of importance. The proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on the Ist were unimportant. The trial of the persons arrested for rioting on the 6th, on the expulsion of Manuel, came on before the Tribunal of Correctional Police.—One man was condemned to a year's imprisonment and a tine of 500 francs ; another to six month's imprisonment and a fine of 50 francs. Four persons were acquitted. It is now admitted even by the official papers, that one of General Guilleminot's Aides•de-camp has been arrested, under a charge of co n spiring,.and has been brought to Paris. His same is even given : it is M. de Lostande, and it is added that he was conveyed to the capital by two Gendarmes, and con signed on the lot inst. to the celebrated prison oft' ,fidiage The Journal des Debate also says, that " M. de Bois Bertrand, Commissionary-General of Police, had arrived on the 26th of March at Bourdeaux." This statement has given countenance to the supiclon that something has occurred in that quarter that has called for inquisi tion. Letters from Saragossa state, that Capsspe, Bes siere's Lieutenant, has finally capitulated with General Ballasteros. The foreign legion which was formed at .Bilboa is gone to Tolosa; a part, it is said, will proceed towards lrun. his to serve as a free company. On the departure (011ie last accounts, the Pastor was still at Iruo, where he was employed in organizing his corps. Two battalions of volunteers have arrived at Barcelona from Majorca, and ten thousand muskets of English manufac tare have been landed at Bilboa. It is thus confirmed that the Constitutional Spaniards are exerting their ener gies, and that the boasted bands of the Faith have been defeated in their attempts to regain a footing in Spain. The Journal des Debate even owns that one of their Chiefs, called Gorostidi, bail returned to St. Jean.de•Lna with only 600 men, after "an infructuous attack on Iruo." The "revolutionary Spaniards," as they are called, resident at Bayonne, lave been turned ont of that town for endeavouring to excite division amongst the soldiers of Quesada, and for having reported that Bes sirres had capitulated and accepted the amnesty offered by the Cortes. The failure of the bands of the Faith, appears to occasion some further levies on the part of the French, to prepare them for the enterprise of Invasion. . . An Army Q f Rererr•e, of the necessity of which no idea had been previously suggested by any of the Ministers, seems now about to be created. The Journal des Debut + informs us that the Ministers would (an to-morrow) on Thursday present to the Chamber of Deputies a law pro• ject, for the organization of an Army of Reserve, by anti cipation on the levy of 1823. On this the Constitution• net observes, that the ministerial evening journal an nounces, that " to-morrow, a call will be made for the Army of Reserve," which doubtless means that a law pro. ject will be presented by the Ministers, for a new levy of men. The same journal, adds the Constitutionnel, as far as we can divine its meaning, through the obscurity of its language, insinuates that we shall soon he made ac quainted with the proclamation of the Duke of A ngon leme. We regret to find, by letters from Aleppo of the 7th, 10th, and 13th of January last, that the shocks of earthquakes had recommenced in that unfortunate country with more violence than ever. FRENCH FUNDS, APRIL2.--.-Five per Cents. opened at 781.80 c. ; highest 78f. 90c., and closed at 78f. 55c. ; Bank Stock, 1,480. ; Neapolitan 5 per Cents. 671. Eschange on London—One month, 251. 65c. ; three ditto, 251. 45c. Bayonne papers to the 28th nit. have been received this morning . , which state that a mail had arrived there from Madrid, bat that it brought no news later than the 19th. From Portugal we have a despatch from Gen. Luiz de Rego, to General Miranda, dated the 17th ult. After the affair of the 13th with his vanguard, when the former encountered the factious, and an action took place on hot sides, he thought fit to concentrate the troops under his commend, and transferred his head quarters to Arainante. —For want of particulars of the affair alluded to the circumstances stated in the despatch are very obscure. All that we can learn, is, that the Cazadores had suffered in it, that the spirit of the troops is excellent, and that arrangements are making to guard the passages of the Douro, and to cut off the rebels from a retreat by Galicia. _ _ _ Accounts from Constantinople to the 25th of February state, that the fermentation among the Janissaries is not yet appea'ed, and that every body is in fear from the nu. merolts Mu'sehnans who parade the street in arms, and commit great excesses. There is no news of either a po litical or military kind. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—Up to the pre sent hottr.we do not hear of any Eipress•s having ar rived from Paris. Speculistion is now on the tip-toe in the City to know if it be a fact that the French declara tion Is in town or not. It is positively stated, that the invasion of Spain is deferred until the 16th instant.— , consols opined this morning at Tin, at which price they have been steady the whole of the morning, with little or no business doing. FOREIGN FUNDS.—In conseqnence of the non-arrival of Expresses, and the depre-sion of the Spanish Bonds at Paris, the foreign market was very heavy. with little doing. Spanish Bonds opened at 2:1;f1. Chili, 661—New Spanish, 291-01 d, 36—New Prussia, 791—01 d, 81/—Russin, 72—Danish 821—Colombia, 691 to 60. We understand, that private letters are in town from Colombi of a late date, bringing favourrble accounts in regard to the Colombian Lnai, which positively as serts that it will be ratified by the Colombian Govern ment. New York papers to the lith ult. have reached us this morning, which contain an extract of a letter from La- Ora, stating that intelligence hail been received from Curacoa, by a qdick conveyance, that Morales was be. tween Alla Gracia and Coro, in a most critical situation ; that the troops he left fur the protection of the latter place had struck the Royal standard, and displayed that of the Republic, that Generals Urdante and Mentello are marching upon him with a force that will overwhelm him. Porto Civello is cloaely invested. • By a letter from a gentleman residing at Valparaiso, the subsequent particulars have been receive I of the state of that place after the great earthquake :—" Several other heavy shocks followed, but not to be compared with the first. They continued very frequent during the night of the kith of November, and every one fled to the hill. and the shipping for safety. Many lives were lost by the falling of the buildings; hut the number has not as yet been ascertained. Nearly 300 are known to have perished, and many are wounded, amongst whom is the Supreme Ditector. Nearly the whole population is scattered about the hills in t.nts.— The English familie4,_as also the American Consuls have *all embarked on board the eiiippinx. Nov. 30.—Several slight shocki continue every day, and there hare been two this suoinisg. " Dec. I.—Slight shocks continue, but not of a serious description." THE Mixes CocaT.—On Thursday afternoon his Ma jesty held a Court, at his Palace at Bright in, which w ts attended by his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Secretary of State tor the Colonial Department, the Mas ter-General of the Ordnance, the Lord Steward. the Mas ter of the Horse, the Earl of Chiches'er, Lord Colches ter, &c. The King held a Privy Council, at which the Right Hon. Charles Grant was appointed by the King in Coun cil, Vice-President of the Board of 'tied e. The Duke of York arrived io town to dinner last even ing, from his Royal Highness's visit to the King at Brighton. Earl Bathurst officiated for the Lord President, and bad a private audience of his M .jesty, previous to the holding of the Council, to lay before his Majesty the business to be brought before the Council. Letters._ dated the 14th nit. were received yesterday from St. Petersburg. Much anxiety is expressed in them for intelligence from England, confirmatory or others' wise of the expected invasion of Spain by Prance, but ' the thought of a participation in the war by Russia does nut at present enter into the speculations of the Peters.' burg merchants. The exchange had fallen very consi derably, owing to the orders from Hamburg, Holland, and London, for remittance of money. The Congress of the United States rose on the 31 ult. , alter a session remarkably barren of interesting topics, even to the subjects , of the Republic ; and not having perfected any one measure that his attracted attention on this side of the Atlantic. The Bill for the amend ment of the Tariff intended, as the preamble slated, for " the improvement of the revenue, and the protection of domestic manufactures," which have oper %tea to the per il:dice of the artisans of this country , was lost in the - Senate in the tatter part of the Session, after having passed the House of Representatives. A treaty of coin- tome and navigation, on principles of reciprocity, was concluded between France and the United States. The Republicans are alining fu establish this principle as the basis of all their treaties, and are likely in the end to carry their point. Ou the whole, we do not recollect any former legislative session, to which in its progress there has been so little reason to advert fur the informa tion of English readers. PRESENTATION OP A PIECE OF PLATE BY TILE ELECT ORS OF CHICHESTER TO MR. iIIISKISSON. — The Right Hon. lVm. Huskisson, met his late constituents on Thursday, to receive the piece of plate intended to be presented to him. The dinner was provided at the Council House, the use of which was, on this occasion, granted by the Mayor. 'f he Corporation assembled at Iwo o'clock in the afternoon, and conferred the freedom of the city on Mr. Huskisson. About four, the compa ny began to assemble, and at a quarter before five, about 120 Gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner. After the cloth was removed, and the usual toasts had been given, the piece of plate ( vase) was tivn placed on the table before the Chairman, F. L)iggens, Esq.—The fol lowing is a description :—The vase is a model of the an tique Bacchanalian rase which was found io the ruins of Hadrian's villa at Tivoli, in the year 1777, and brought to England by Sir Wm. Ilamilton,(then our ambassador Wile court of Naples,) who presented it to the Earl of Warwick. The vase is placed on a pedestal of exquisite workmanship ; ell one side of which are the arms of the city of Chichester, on the opposite side those of Mr. Huskisson, and on the two remaining aides the following inscription— " To the Hight Hon. WILLIAM Ilusatssox, President of the Board of Trade, Treasures of his Mej-sty's Navy, &c. &c. ic. from the Electors of Chichester, in testimony of their sincere respect for his publi c'taracter. their grateful acknowledgment of his impartial attention to their local in terests, and their unfeigned regret on his retirement from the Representation of their city in Parliament. April, MD CCCXIIII " Excellent glees and songs enlivened the company till a late hour. The Chairman, with the Right lion. Gent. retired about ten o'clock. Mr. linskiss in spoke for nearly as hour, though evidently suffering from ill health, but we have not yet received an account of this gentleman. By the death of Sir John Hamer, a very lucrative si tuation in the Borough Court falls to the olisposit'on of the Court of Aldermen. The worthy representative of Castle Maynard Ward,John Joshua Smith, Esq. has (or a long period performed the arduous duties of the office for his deceased friend, and it is conceived, that es a matter of grace and favour, Alderman Smith will suc ceed Sir John Earner. Mr. Belzoni has presented to the Fitzwiiliam Museum the lid of a Sarcophagus, found by him in one of the tombs LE the Kings at Thebes in Upper Egypt. 'lois interesting relic of antiquity arrived here on Monday, and after considerable difficulty (its weight being up wards of three tons) was placed in the con: tof the. Mu seum. It was brought to England with the rest of the Egyptian monuments, which Mr. Salt, his Majesty's Consoi at Cairo, was enabled to collect, principally through Mr. Belzoni, and deposited in the entrance court of the British Museum, from whence it was removed by the Rev. G. A. Browne last week; by virtue of an order from Mr. Belzoni. The slab is composed of a angle block of red granite; its length, when entire, exceeds probably ten teet,itsbreadth is about five feet. The Sar cophagus to which this lid belongs, is, we are informed, on its way from Egypt. SHIPPINti INTELLICIENCP. (raost TIM Bo kap 6V THS NEW E:NGLA!CD corrEE-uocze.)
