They have lost all the manly dm rider 'whiCh the Revolution confetred ,upoo them; haire been remeasured by their Royal tailors for all the vices and frivolities of " the old regime." . In Catalonia, the French army must be in a waning con 'ditlon, since they only venture to boast that they keep Mi-' i in check. Now as they are the invaders, it would seem rather his business to keep them in check ; only that , he does more than this, and they do less. The-very last accounts describe him as attacking them, assaulting their bead-quarters, and bearing away all before him in a contest of four hours duration. We wish that every other French officer had been as wen matched as Marshal Moocey. We regret to perceive that a tone of despair begins to pervade our more liberal journals, and that the suontiasion of Ca die is spoken of as probable. To the eternal disgtite of this country, we have done but little indeed to prevent such a result. We have neither encouraged by our applause, nor assisted by our means, to any adequate ex tent, the cause of the Spanish Revolutionists. The very reasons whicb were assigned in excnse for our apathy, were those which should have excited us to the greater ex ertion. It was said to be impossible that Spain should succeed. Those wbo wished her success, should have been the more anxious. to lessen the impediments in her way. It was said that Spain was unworthy of freedom. At any rate, it would have been a noble endeavour to teach her to be worthy of - it. But there was no immediate paltry ad vantage to stimulate the cupidity of the richer order of Englishmen- Ibis is a land of enterprixe ; but gain must be its object. As Cowper says—" We travel far, indeed, but not for nought." Policy, reason, and justice, have no charms, unless they can find a ready and a profitable market. Such feelings will be regretted, when it is too late. When Spain and Portugal shall he placed at the disposal of France,—an event which the soppression of the revolution in Spain, must necessarily produce, both our no-rchants and our statesman will learn, that an early interposition to preventmischief, would have been the bail means of meeting it. We have not before noticed the case of Mr. Swahili the Magistrate of Union 'Mall, having committed a man and woman to the Honew.lif Correction at Brixton, on the charge of a watchman . ..if indecent exposure of their persona on a dark sight in the vicinity of Waterloo-Bridge ; but since Mr. Allen undertook, on Thursday, to justify Mr. Swabey's conduct, and to state that be would have acted in the same way, tinder the same circumstances, we must ask Mr. Allen whether be would have acted legally, or if Mr. Swabey has done so. The value of the testimony :Oa watchman in such a case is well known ; and although 'the en7airy has brought forward another person to corobo rate the watchman's story, they do not make tent a case in ;sitiel the Magistrate was justified in applying the severest (provisions of the Vagrant Act towards individuals against whom no offence bas' ,'proved. To place any divert itions.ry power in the bands of the greatest ornaments of the Bench is dang'ernns enough ; but to vest any in the hands oi s a Police Maeistrite, with such Police Magistrates as we !are, blessed with, is siOnstritte indeed. • These persons were committed under the Act whiett ordeinsench a pnnishment for a public exposure of the person, with the design to in 'soh. Now, at worst, this was t h e reverse of such an ex posure. Tire parties themselves, if they were about to coon mit any offence, supposed themselves screened by the dark. .floss. They did not intend to expose themselves to the watih men, or to anybody else) nalleat whatever other legal penalty might attach to them; they were 'clearly eat of the provisions of the Act under which they have been doomed to the - penance of the tread mill. To patch tar ore Magis trate's ease, an officer is said to have heard the man acknowledge that he intended to bare committed an offence; hist this (if true) has sothing to do with the matter. The offence for whieb , the:r tint •now suffering punishment. was neither cointhineet nor Contemplated ; end the Mavis trate has been guilty of ailing under a statute which dues not apply to the case.

RICARDo. It was with great regret we perceived it stited in an evening paper of yesterday, that Mr. Ricardo had paid the .last debt of nature. We have often bad occasion to differ with his political and financial conclusions; but to his ta lent and good intentions we have ever been anxious to do &Nastier. As a member of the Senate, he has ef fate! great public good by the manly stand which he has coo N. .stautly same against persecution fbr opinion, in white,* hieguise.it might mask itself, for the furtherance of its ob. ject: In this sense be has been truly a public benefactor; "All that trethwantsis the liberty of appearing;" and when force is no longer armed against reason, the right will ea sily prevail. If Mr. Ricardo's merits be estimated by this " standard of value," all the wayward opinions upon the value of any other standard, will be overlooked ; and his name will never be mentioned without esteem for his bene. volenee, and respect for his The following are the testimonies which our cotempora• ties have been urged to pay to his memory:— (From the Courier.)— An account reached the City yesterday morning, by express. of the death of David Ricardo, Esq.. M.P. for Partarlington. at his seat in Moo ' cestershire. .He died, it is said, of meter on the brain, We knew yesterday he as alarmingly ill, and teat several of his brothers bad left London express to see him. if. was a man of distinguished abilities, and as a political economist he had the faculty of discussing the intrlcite principles of that science with singular acuteness and per spicuity. His writings upon those sabjects, indeed, consti toted almost as marked an era as the celebrated work of Adam Smith. His authority in the !loose of Commons upon all.questions of trade and fioance was latterly very great, from tne clear and logical manner in which he al ways urged his arguments. Hie death will be much re gretted as a public man, dud still more by those who knee► him in private. (From the 'lmes.)—We have to regret the death of Mr. Ricardo, a man distiuguished among his cotemporaties f.e the general spirit of curious and refined investigation with which he prosecuted subjects in any manner connected with finance. It is not, indeed, very clear to our jtvignieht, that he succeeded in establishing env economical principles of great importance which were betire undiscovered : but Mr. Ricardo has this praise-Lhe has contributed heyon most individual , of his time to raise and dignify the cite. ratter of a smolt-chant; be has blended science with trade; fie hacthrown a robe of intelligence and theoretic know. ledge over the daily occupations of the counting-house ; he has. again, both acted and reasoned in the two•fuld relations of an agriculturist and a financier, and ra •y be said to have so disposed the several lick, in the chain of life with which hat was conversant. as to make them reflect, when the occasion demanded it, a powerful light upon each ether. (Faost The Afornbig Chroitiek.)—The country and his friends have to lament the loss of this enlightened, amiable, and truly virtuous- Senator. An express arrived in town yesterday morning, with an account of his death, at his seat in Gloucestershire. The disease is said to hare been water on the brain.. Political economy remained nearly in the state in which it was left by -Smith, till the appearance of the writingsof Mr. Ricardo. To him we are indebted for the discovery of many important principles, and for the correction aid modification of many of those laid down by his great pre decessor. But in the brief notice to which we most now tonnes ourselves, we ran only allude generally to his merits as a political economist. without attempting a specification of them. As a Senator he stood alone, sad we know not.whether be will hews any successor. Before Mr. Ricardo, we had able, practical ihatesmeo, great orators, and brilliant wits; but he is the first alas who carried Seto the Horse of Commies a clear philosophical head. and an Inflexible determination never to deviate in NW slightest degree from any of those criaciples, the troth of whieh he bed once ascertained. With such a de termination, he could not possess ertensive influence is the Parliatasatery genes of the word, because in a popular assem bly inkeeneesen only he purchased by occasional sacrifices to the opinions and even the prriudieet of others. But his disre gard of ell-the meows of otataininradventitioes consideration, revs hientreet -weight with the well informed, poth le the Rouse and throughout the country. Forty years ago. mitre even Fhb's. with all his financial and brilliant deciametian, could not obtain a !tearing Yoe any thieg beyond the routine of every day polities. Mr. Rimed° would have been totaby disre garded. The digesion of knowledge throughout all chases of the country has MOW bee■ MO great, and the philosophi cal eltirfidetiosse of Mr. Ricardo ofpoints in political economy. delivered in the most anpretendiag manner, and unrelieved by any thing extraneous. were listened to by the Slothe with a respectful attention. indicative: at sit eveuts of a due sense of the velum. and importence of knowledge. He was the repre sentative of an age when the arts of tide/Age have lost mock of their influence, through the general adieus:anent of intel lectual power. In the House es in conversation Mr. Ricardo possessed great presence of mind, and readiness in expressing his sentiments on all the subjects with which he was comer sant. He was often extremely happy in his retorts on those , who opposed themselves to his views ; and sums of his 'remarks on Sir Thomas Lethbridge, and ocher sons of the soil, appreoached'ever wepigrammatic point. The example of so 'mat+ simplicity and singleness of purpose, so putt arid conyant a love of truth for her one sake, would in time, we doubt not, have been still more beneficially felt in the Assembly to which he belonged. We regard therefore his death in the light of a great ra tional calamity. His talents, though of the first order, may be sooner replaced than his virtues. Let us hope, however, that some man of independent fortune, snot endowed with high powers of intellect, which he considers as a trust for the beneft of his species, will rise up among its to tread in his footsteps. Mr. Ricardo is supposed to have been worth npwards of half a million when he retired from basin-ss. He was reutarkably successful, hardly ever sustaining any loss. — I ndeed the system on which he proceeded in some tn. - secured him against heavy losses, though it al. - him from pining much at any one time.
