FRENCH PAPERS OF MONDAY. •., Pants, Ara. 25.—A Ministerial Journal printed at Bor deaux. announces that reprearwations had been made on .the snhject of the orders which h Ave been riven, in conse• quence of the Ordonnance of the Dike nEArtrottleme, dated *Ambler Anent 8. If we may believe the Correspond-• ent of ike.lonrnalists. the exerutioa of this Ordonnance !moth" snspentled provirsiooally. „Ike diplomatic corps, it is irae.l,•has shewa a disposition to withdraw, if this 41rdennanee Wit* revoked, a new proof to be added to those of the Dihats, to . demonetree that there prevails a hatmony between the Dnke of Angduleme and the Re gesey.

This unexpected news' t h e publication of which was made without the ether '!.ntliorities being informed, inspired the peaceable ich"'itants with some uneasiness.

The d 4y before yesterday, our Lady's day, several writings were posted op by unknown persons. During the day the Constitutionalists and some ex-militiamen, rendered auda cious by impurity, manifested some satisfaction, evidently with the intention of insulting the Royalists. At the cum. mencement of night a French patrol a ted three inilivis duols, among whom was a volunteer of the royal militia, accused of having insulted the Liberals, hot it is asserted that they endeavoured to strike some Constitutionalists with a stick. The French were conducting them to the town prison, but a group of people who followed required that they should be conducted to the prison of St. Antonia. the guard of which is confided to the Royal Militia. The French would not listen to them, and soon met with ono thee mop of the inhabitants on the old bridge, who after setting two of the ()Hannan at liberty, conducted the third to the prison of Saint Antonia. The French then retired to the square. The French Commandant arrived soon after with a larger detachment, and made his men draw op with fixed bayonets. The inhabitants and Royal Militia took up aims on their side ; the disturbance then became so great, that something aerions was expected ; bat the Magistrates soon assembled, and immediately took measures to secure public tran quillity ; in effect. they prevented bloodshed. It was resolved Unit the French should return to their quarters, and that the patrols shortid consist of the royal us& tia.After that the order of tbe town was not disturbed, and we hope we shall never sees day of mourning such as the Cons ati!ntionalists desire. In the meeting which took place between the Munici pality and the French General, the latter agreed perfectly with the local authorities, mud has even placed at their dis posal the troops ssloich are at Mhos, M..lesolence will not fair to profit by these circumstances to circulate the must absurd and the most lying reports; hot what I have mitten to you is the truth, and l can guarantee authenticity of these details.

The Regency continue to visit the prisons; they have ordained the liberation of those individuals Rho were confined only on account of political opinions. One hundred and forty have been delivered from the prison of Conte, and '23 trout Oat of Ville. Aunese 19.—The news of this morning is, that after the cspitidatiotrof Zayas and his troops. the Authorities of lila laza embarked, and that the Royalists have taken posses sion of the town in the name of the Regency. (PROM THE JOURNAL DRS DeRATS CONATANTINOPLII, July '9s.—We have been exposed to some new alarms, but they are passed. 'the Jansen. vexed that it was resolved to disband them, set fire to the Turkish quarter called Casein, Bscha and the Arsenal, while they were pillaging the hotel of the Aga of the Janissaries; the fire extendrd itself to the palace of the Captain Paella, who was absent, two st.irehonses tilled with sails, &c. A ship of war at anchor in the Arsenal broke loose, and set sere ral vessels in the canal on fire. The Aga of the Janissaries hastened thither, and by his prudent measures bindere I the progressof the fire, and at length extinguished it. The lire bail already communicated to the 'mat Sittirnani and menaced the quarter of Feast., when the activity of the Aga checked it. The Sultan has made him a present of 25,1)0(1 piasares.— Thirty soldiers, taken in the fact of setting houses on fire, were punished with death. It is supplsed that 1500 houses are consumed. Another letter of July 25th, estimates the number of houses burnt at ',it'd°. and adds, that since July 15th. Ikere have been partial burnings almost every day. They are particularly directed against the property of the Mr. DIAS, much bated by the people, who believe they are the cause of the bad condition in which the ale sirs of the P.ire are at present. The Sultan five days after the great fire repaired in pomp to the palace of the Grand Vizier, to ask the Brand Vizier to assist at a Ilrand Divan. This measure is not in general adopted, but in the most stormy times.— The present Sultan has only had recourse to it twice before. The tenths of this Divan are not known, but it appears that the most energetic measures were resolved on against the disturbers of public peace. SPAIN. Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated 18th August:— " The Duke d'Aneouleme arrived at Port St. Mary's. on the 16th inst. at night, which is eight days sooner than what was proposed when he left this place. An opening has been made for entering into negotiations, but the oo vernment at Cadis have declined entering into them with out the mediation of England. Ultimately, France mug accept of these terms, and if our tiovernment coines forward, I have great hopes that affairs will very soon be am aged. " The communication with Cadiz is now rendered very difficult in consequence of the blockade, both by sea and by land, being rigorou.ly enforced. " I have already mentioned that all persons taken up and confined for political opinions had been liberated at Burgos, and that this was only a prelude to the same general measure throughout Spain, and a confirmation of what I have previously announced, that France had adopted a more liberal policy towards this country. inclosed, I now hand you a copy ofthe decree given by the Duke d'A °got'. lease. ordering the liberation of all persons confined for po litical opinions, and particularly so of militia men. This is the gengml measure alluded to above, and. very severe it is igainst the Regency. and is direct contradiction to all its former decrees in which the Dare del Inf,asstado has been strongly supporta by the Russian Ambassador. The order, bawever,bas been acted *pm and several persons bare been liberated. The Duke de Reggio, at the request of the Re gency, has suapeaded the pablicatioa, printing, Icc., until ',Answer is received freak' Deke.d'Augoarems. In the peas time, a sort of parfial amnesty has been published in yesterday's Ossetia, of which I sea you oboltarewith, which proves that the Regency bale thought proper to costae a Ott Satatcoman. THURSDAY EVENING. AUGUST 29, 1823. STOCK EXCHANGE, 12 o'cLocn.--The chief business doing/this morning, is settling accounts. Consols opened at S2H, and 822,'3, for next account. The Expresses from Paris this morning have brought the Itentes ;,t D . 2, Si, Spanish, 42 to 43. The decline in the French lands was owing to reports in the above capital.-- A private letter by the above Expresses, states that the gatrigm of Cadiz, hall made a sortie, in which the French lost IMO men. Other letters state this: it Was expected that the affairs of Spain wetild soon be settled. FOREIGN 51.aaust.—A great deal was doing this Mfr. particularly in Spanish bonds. One eminent lie. brew Broker alone bought :AM. New Spanish 371:—Russia, SB:l—Columbist, 681—French Scrip. 41. We received this forenoon, by express, the Pilote of yes terday morning. The intelligence it communicates is o( more than usual interest. By the despatches of the Duke I of Reggio, it appears, that the brave garrison of Coritnnal had been at length compelled to enter on a parley ; but that the terms for which they were struggling were such as were consistent with the firm attachment they had shown to the' Constitution, and with the noble spirit they had displayed throughout the siege. The account of the Duke d'Angou leme's arrival at Port St. Mary's, is confirmed; and the news of the death of the Pope is announced from Lyons by a telegraphic despatch. The intelliz..nce we may now ex tract froroCadizonnsi, it seems, be of the highest importance. The following are extracts from the papers received : 'ME STATESMAN; little and enter into the views of Prance, notwithstanding the Work of The Rossini' Nliniatersto the contrary."

MADRID, AUGUST 19 —The Regency has received news from Cadiz of the 12th lust.; the Royal family enjoyed good health. (FROM TUE PILOTS OF TIM 27T11 AUGUST.) The Course of Exchange and itentes have lowered about 30 cents., but we do not know the cause. This slight di• minution may be attributed to the reports generally spread, that a sortie has been made from Cadiz with the whole of the force of the garrison, and that an alfsir has taken plice in the neighbourhood of Madrid. (canal TIE ETOILIt OP Tersnsr.) ARMY OF TILE PYRENEES. Report how Maishal Duke of lteggio, to the Moister of War : 'Madrid, August M. Lientenant -General Rourck renders me an account of the 13th, of his operations on Carunna, by a letter to the lowing purport : In the night of the 10th and 11th, the Garrison of Co rnelia tired briskly on our troops, but fortunately did not do us much harm. Several houses were damaged about our head-quarters. The magazine of tobacco caught tire, but was soon extinguished. About 3 o'clock in the morning, a white flag was seen hoistet! on the covered way, and a 0•1 g of truce came to as breathing peace; out at the same time exhibited high pretensions. I must confess, however, they have done their duty. They wished to put themselves un• der the protection of the Duke d'Angoulerne, and would not hear a word about the Regency of Madrid, till the issue was known of the affairs of Cadiz, and the orders of the King of Spain. The whole of yesterday was taken up in parlying. I sent, them my ultimatum; that I would enter Comma either as a friend or an enemy. _ _ SIX O'CLOCK AT 7IIGHT.—A person, invested with powers, has this moment arrived, after having bad a conference in the town, and 'am persuaded that the garrison of Corunna will put themselves under the orders of General Morino. Two o(fieers of the garrison have been sent to that Oeneral to inform him of what has been agreed upon.

An article in the former, from St. Petersburg, while it proves the at'achment of the Auto crat to the principles of the Holy Alliance, is extremely so licitous to have it believed that a certain expose, which was nnderstood to be a manifesto of the Russian Cabinet, on the application of those principles to the state of Spain, was entirely a fabrication. The King of Prussia, it appears, whole he professes to grant a Constitution to some of his subjects; is careful to have it known that none of them shall abuse it by discussion. An article from Berlin, of August 19,informs us that the well know•nJuurnalfekate is prohibited in the Prussian dominions, by an corder of the Ministry. At Copenhagen, it is stated that the Rates of Insurance have risen considerably in .con sequence of the communications of the Regency of Madrid. From Stockholm, we learn that Baron Bat tram, Secretary of State to his Majesty Charles XIII. died on the 11th Instant. The Diet is expected to sit till the end of October. On the 11th there had been a discus sion its the Chambers of Peasants and Citizens, on the Gots Canal. A grant of 100009 dollars in addition to 300,000 previously voted was acceded to. It appears they manage works of this kind in much the same manner there, as they are managed here. According to a letter in one of the journals, the expense of the sluice at C.jelonare was confi dently estimated al 351,725 Rix-dollars, Banco, of which sum 270,092 had teen empl led ; and the directors now state that, to complete the work, there is required no less a soma than 516,627 more. By the Genoa Gazette we learn, that the king of Naples arrived in his capital on the 6th inst. The following are extracts from the Hamburg papers, to the contents of some of which we have previously referred : ST. PETERSBURG. AUGUST o.—Count litalgari is again ■P3 pointed Charge d'Affaires from his Majesty the Emperor to his Catholic Majesty. So long es this Monarch shall continue a prisoner he will he accredited to the Regency of Spain. The Conservateur Impartial has an article dated Frsnefort on the Maine, 21st of last month, to the following effect:— `• English, French, and German Journals have repeated, on the credit of the Bremen Gazette, an article dated from Saint Petersburg, 12th June, which is relative to the affairs of Spain. and to the manner in which the Russian Cabinet consi ders its influence on the rest ..f Europe. As none of the St. Petersburg Journals has published this article, we hare rea son to believe that far from having any official character, as the Journal des Debuts of the 17th of July affirms, it is a fa brication from beginning to end." Ili. Majery the Emperor is expected at 11loscm on the 2d of next month. According to an opinion confirmed by his Mujesty,all Monks are at their request allowed to leave their convents; they re turn to their former temporal situations, but lose the rank, property, and honorary distinctions which they had before they took the vows. I.lrd Douglas, who is attached to the British Embassy, has left this city. The pertinacity with which the "211onarchicel principle" is pressed against the comm in sense of the world, will be at least of this service; that its absurd and monstrous pw tensions will be correctly appreciated ; and the certain re. suit will be, that the feelings which might have been in different to its progress, will now be arrayed against it in the most mortal enmity. Even in England, where the I , monarchical principle" is suspended between the Brie tocraey and the democracy, as Mahomet's coffin between heaven and earth. *enlist; been recently a strong deter mination of public feeling towards the demiicratic point; and many wbo have hem; amongst the most energetic of the reformers, are now become passive spectators of the .struggle _ .1 for reform. under the conviction that a mere rola* of abases, if it were practicable, would not be of •so much value as is genet- sliy sop,' •-t • asmuch as the root of the evil would be left in the system, and the abuses might spring up again as rankly as before. This is, perhaps, the natural •consequence - of that pertinaci. ous denial of any Reform, however slight, in which-the faction in power seems determined to persist. The failure of Lord John Russell's last motion on the subject of Reform, has had a decided effect, in producing the conviction that reform is unattainable—that no demand fur it will ever be listened to, in the slightest degree—and that the Parliament will pay no attention whatever to the wishes of the people in this respect. This policy of the Tory faction, is favour. able to the exchange of the principles of refoon to those of a new modelling of the whole system. If nothing will be conceded„to the public, until the public assume an attitude in which they can take what they please to demand, it is entail], that with the power in their hands to take all, they will not . be satisfied with but apart. The case is other wise now ; or at least, it has been otherwise There was a time, when an appearance of a reform ' which would have left corruption as powerful as ever, would have satisfied almost every individual in the country, without impairing the power of the Borough faction ; because the reform would not have been extensive enough to have affected the "standing majority" of the men who stick at nothing. Prior to the discovery made up•sn the death of Mr. Pereeval, that talent, and character, were not essential to an Administration ; any concession in favour of reform was not to be expected from a Minister; because it was imagined that a majority of some hundred was requisite to enable an Administration to remain in office; but when the Lord Chance/I°r and Lord Castlereagh found that a ma jority done would do as well for their purposes as a ma. jority of four-fifths of the House, there was an end to the apprehension of popular displeasure, which served to keep the ambition or avarice of a Minister within cer tain limits. Then it was discovered that public indigna. Lion did not carry with it - half the terrors of an ordinary wasp's sting, any conception to public opinion would hat. been ridiculous; and since that period, every session has lessened the probability of a Perlisinentary Reform of Abuses, until it is now perfectly understood, by all, that the Parliament will never reform itself; and when it is reform. ed by the public, should that event ever happen, it is quite as certain, that the pnblie will not consult the taste of the Parliament, either as to the made, or the degree, in which the reform shall he effected. The usurpation that maintains itself to the last, is like a town carried by storm. It is too late for capitulation when the brea:li is practicable, and the ramparts are carried ;—so that tyranny should blame Itself for the Revolutioss which it produces. On the Contineut, their truths are beginning to be very perfectly en lerstood ; and wherever revolu tions take place in futare, they will not be accompanied by an end• arose to conciliate the despotic principle, or to blen I what is impossible to unite. If the "allied Sovereigns* were wise enough to bend before the spirit of the age, sot to anticipate what their subjects will not fail to demand, they might wear crowns, and be called Kings, for emus years, perhaps for some ages yet to come ; but as to beim; Kings, it is quite another matter. The Spanish mode of keeping Kings, while the royal menageries Sue kept open, is likely to become a favourite in more countries than one: —and the " allied Sovereigns" may rest assured that their method of inforcing the "moaarehical principle" is the best'usethod of extinguishing it for ever. , We should really like to know sew sitnation Mr.o anning really holds in his Majesty's service. We are aware that be is called Foreign Secretary, and that his name is of to the docuua'•nts of the Foreign Correspondence. But, is this all? Is be onlyfirst clerk io his office, and does he wait for all his instructions from men who neither think with him, nor agree with him, upon any point of Foreign Policy. Mr. Brougham said the Lord Chancellor was the Prime Minister. Is he Secretary for Foreign Affairs ioto the bargain? The conduct of Sir %V. A'Court was so con• teary to the avowed policy oldie Ministry, that he should have been instantly recalled, when the news of his belraci• our at Seville reached England, and some one ac• credited to the Spanish Government at Cadiz, who might have done some credit to the declared neutrality of this tiovernmen'. Sir William A'Court, on the contrary, has been the most determined ens• my of the avowed policy of his masters ; and report dors him great injustice if he has not lent himself to thein.rignes of the enemies of the Constitutional system. It was Lis duty to Lava remained with the actualAathorities, to whom he was accredited. It was his duty to have gane to Cadiz; and, bad he done so, an I performed the part of a British Ambassador with spirit and fidelity expected from suet character, we should never have heard of the Naval Block ade o: Cadiz,. The very presence of an English Minitter would have prevented the enactment of such a miserable farce; and the intercourse that be would have maintained with his Boverntnent officially, would have given the Cortes an offi lel means of communicating with other portions of the globe. It is said Mr. Canning disapproves of the conduct of Sir W. A'Court; we can readily believe this. But why does be not resent it? Why does he not remove such a man? It his business to do so ; and there is abundance of reason for it ;—but has Le the power? Is he not opposed, on most questions of vital interest, to his colleagues; and has the opposite party sufficient power to negative all his wishes on the subject ? If so, what is Mr. Canning but a puppet in the Cabinet ? What is he, but the mere tool of some secret influence, to which he mist submit, if be wishes to retain his place? We cannot be aware of all the springs that move the Court; but we are satisfied there is ono chord at least, that beats in Ligon with the tone of the Holy Alliance; and to this, we are satisfied, is to be attributed the condenension of oar Court, and the sib mission of Mr. Canning to s system which be mast abhor. 1.1 1 - 1 1111 r. crPcm plei. the p His pectei text Oni ter ga On 1 ?dr.
