measures to put an end to the attempts repeatedly made to pro•luce a civil war In Spain. A Courier bar. arrived at five o'clock in the morning, with despatebee announcing that the revolted Carabiseers had been entirely destroyed in Andalusia by the militia of Be yalanee. A private letter also received in Paris stated, that besides the Duke de Flnfantado, 128 in dividuels, who were the chiefs of the conspiracy, had been arrested, and that all the plans formed to carry off the King, and to effect a counter revolution, would be shortly laid open to the world. It was also ex petted that an estraordinsry convocation of the Cortes would take place. AU public and private iticountt broadly intimate that proofs have at last two *b umped, by the Constitutiooalists, of the complicity of the King and the agents of Prance, In all the con spiracies formed against the peace of Spain and the. existence of the Constitution. According to the, Paris papers, more French troops, principally artil tillery, ere now marching towards the Spanish frontiers.--Itespecting the affairs of Greece or Russia these papers are silent, but they contain a letter from Constantinople, dated June 10th which states that the Persians had made great pro gees, in Armenia, and menaced Kars as well as Entities. The Turks, however, boasted of baviog gained a great victory in the Pachalik of Bagdad, and re•t.rken Suleintanich. They also asserted that the wrath of Ceti- n had visited the Persian town of Kermit:ol4h with a tremendous earthquake, in which 30,000 inhabitants had perished. Letters from Aleppo. however, seemed to show that the Ilr•atenly wrath had not fallen on the Persians alone, as they announced t►at two•thirds of the city of Mecca had been destroys I by an earthquake.—The French Deputies are proceed ing with the discussion of the Budget fur 1823. On Saturday on the order of the day for resuming it he lag read, M. Te x and other Members opposed the prnjet, on the ground that the Budget of 1823 so:- passed t►at of 1819 by 36,622,394 francs, while the revenue of the country was diminished 30 millions. Trfollllll enlarged at much length upon the abuses 1► which, he said, were out of all proportion with the ser vices performed ; and, if the Mini were really die . loosed to economy, they would be more zealous in re • forming the abuses which had crept into every part of of the administration. The discussion was further ad journed to the Monday following. Colonel Daisy, who had heea most severely treated while in prison, was set at liberty on the 13th inst. by order of the Chamber of Council, perhaps lest it should be said, that lie had died in prison. He was carried to his huuse in a litter, and fainted twice on the way. PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT. IN I LIE Lonns.—The Creepy to Animals Dill re ceivoil a notification of its being thror a oat in a day or two, as Lord LtrsurooL said he disapprovod of this perty/egisfation, which would interfere with men in their ordlaary moral i!uties. The Smell Note, which was read 4 third time and passed, brought up the Earl of CAILNAIIT':N. WWI, ►aviag said, that he approved of the Bill as the means of keeping afloat the country_ paper, proceeded to say, that the cash measures had been the great cause of the distress in agriculture; that it wu out the seasons which had produced the ruin but the changes in the quantity and value of the currency ; that the Ministers when they were cons• plaining rf the evils of plenty should recollect that we had prayers for plenty in the Liturgy ; that in former times, peace and war had nothing to do with prices ; that they were frequently higher in times of peace than in times of war ; that the priers, after having fallen in 1814, 1815 and 1816, rose again upon fresh issues of paper coming out in 181 7 ; that the inability of the yrcple in Ireland to pay r..nts, tythes and taxes, arose principally from the change in the value of money, and that this change has breo the principal cause of the present famine ; that the publics creditor wu al preseet paid too much, and especially if be hail lent bis money after the depreciation began ; that it was right, therefore, that this should he rectified ; that if the p t measure (Pers.'s Bill) were pushed to its fall extent, it would go the length of confiscating, at no distant period, great portion of the landed proper ty of the Kindom, for that it would transfer from the hands of the Landlords and families the whole of their • poseessioss into the hands of other..—We cougrato late his Lordship upon Lasing been so close and:at rewire a reaticr of the Register. lie did well s but if he bad made an acknowledgement of it, he would hove l done better. Lein, however, one of the " education of the country," he doubtless tliouolttsuch an acknow ledgement not suited to his d i ts e-nity.—llis Lordship had some notions tof his owl. The jet of which was, that the cirmalating 14e4itms, ought by another Batik reolfic".on to bt ftrooght Lack to what it was when agriculture flourished. So, you see, his Lordship is not for •or Kent:alg mode of reducing the int of the Debt, which, observe, could net be adopted @sigh ort a rgform of the Parliament This is always the choker with the Whigs. It is good enough, to be sure, to bear tbrm, who are really the originators of PEIL's Bill, and who bated and badgered and torment ed the Ministers till they passed it ; it is very good to hear them crying out murder against this Bill ; bat it is still better to hear them, crying out against this plain and honest proposition of the County of Kent, while they recommend that old backslid rice of fraud, a depreciated paper money. We hare no laud ed estates corselets. We may never have any, and we may have some. But, this we can say with perfect sincerity, that if we bad them, if they were the place of our birth, and were covered with growing young trees of our own planting, amongst which were endless broods of game of our own rearing and presery ing, we would rattler are the whole eoadaested, sod ourselves bundled into the road, than see adopted tbr measure recommended by Lord CA RRRRR ; that see the labourer again robbed of his carsiogs is order to draw masses of money together to hues Banker► and Attorneys, sad to sweep away the eemosat of the swell farms which the cruel system of paper tow) has starred to remain. We applaud the mower of Lord Livearoos. Al far as it related to t►is point. Hi Lordship said, as he ones before said t that it sods better at oice, °poly sad candidly to expose oar al fairs, and to pity so much in thepoessi, this resort to the trick of a depreciated forme,: This is jest what the Coesty of Kist prayed far. His Lordship. said, that this (the somuntra reeonmeseded by Lord Caassattvow) was, " a less honest way Bias by a di .. mieetion of the interest." Thee, thee, what be comes of that charge of fraud, which Joon Stems (CARRINGTON) brought against the people of Kest I aid what becomes of that " counter pedtios" witch KNATCHOULL Omitted a few days ago, aid tl natures to which (about thirty in member) we will issert in our paper of to-morrow, and chow what a pretty sort of petition this was to pat is oppositlea to that of the whole Comity of Kent? Lord CAIX/lIIVON did not perceive, Nor has 51r. W sauna. Sir Famine SCRIM T. Mr. ATTWOOD. or any one of ROOM who are for a return to the fruadukat paper-mosey, reflected es the consequences of such return? Do they thick. that we can retura to that accursed thing, and go on quietly with it as we did beton? Do they think, that an act which would to fact declare the nation ramble to pay is COl4. would not have all the sleets of a Bankruptcy. Tb• Minister says it would. He says it would bo I tial Bookroptcy. Not jest MN my Lord: it you he a %hole Bankruptcy; aid coafosioa would fallow, el coarse. To keep up legal tender after welt May would be a Bankruptcy. To make Borough Bask Notes a legal Mader in exchange for cowry rags would be a partiof Bankruptcy; and, Lord Live.- POOL, though you do set seem to think it, the Small Note Bill which you were just thee passim/. is a part repeal of Pluses Bill, and is, 'edged, a partial Bank ruptcy, since it acknowledges an liability to retire to the ancient currency of the country.—Lord Cessna ' vox, though he has read the Register with sash !au ; dable industry, has suffered Ma mind to be pessled by the botheration of the Jews and Jobbers. He said that at the present moment the market price of gold was under the Mist price. and, therefore, the paper currency was now more em/smile time veldt — Strange that his Lordship should not have attended to the refutation of this error in the ten Lollar to Landlords. Let him read one of those letters. which was written is a snug little farm beam. lying Mesa ea the borders of his Lordship's estate in Hampshire; iet him read the tame Letters addressed to Lord Lt yea root, last March; and then we think he winding the dander-headed trash of Rica coo into the ire, and that be will see, that pld as merchandise sad gold as currency are very Unfired% things., Vs will then be able to saconnt for wheat being at a high pries when gold is at a low pries, and for gold being at shish price when wheat le at %low prier, and for exactly the opposite of these ; for bed beet frequently takes place. He will, then, see, that gold. as carrency is ludas:teed by the paper with which it circulates. But, to sit short the matter with him, if he will take gold as the stead ard, then he has no right to com p lain of the effects of Penes Bill ; for, at the time of passing that Bill, gold was only about fuer per cent, or four and a half per coat. higher is price than it le now ; and oomoritng to his Lurdship'e owa gopdard. the slim** otsbelea reary produced by glass Bill, ass leas ithostight prices only four and a half per cent. His Lordship mast reject Rtctutno altogether, or fellow him all through. This Small Note Bill is DOW passed. The legal tender, which once got into ir, has been frightened out l it by us, notwithstandisg the d ec la re d resolution :Ar. Pascoe Gasrarzu., who once said, that he would move for the re-it:onion of the clause. This Bill has never been rioted ; but we dare say that good kind Old ANonaw Sreanam will sell it ne when it comes out in the shape of an Act; ANDROW will hardly keep the law to himself. It is No. 1. of the steps is repeal of Poses Bill ; and oar readers shall have it. Tillt Commis there was no house again The Members seemed tired of the Iblag. But, the troll is, there is nothing more lobe iniginated. The things that are yet to be finished, have been agreed on. We imagine, that the Selsion has been drawled out, mer.ly to give time to see what turn the affairs of Ireland would take. There will be little of tare In them, we suspect. We can see no reason (as we said some days back) for a cessation of the jandae; for, as we shewed io our paper of Monday, and as is daily proved from all qu , and from persons of all descriptions, the famine does not arise front scarcity ! Oar readers will recollect, that, about tea days ago, Mr. GouLacix said, that the reports of the state of Ireland were "satisfactory." This agrees pretty well with what is sow positively stated is the Dublin Papers; namely, that a hundred and forty persons hare actoally died recently of starvation, in one part of one county This *hews, too, what re liance we ought to place on the Ministerial Statements . It is an undoubted fact. that food was so cheap as it is row in Ireland, and even in the parts, where the famine rages ! This we have upon the authority of statements in Parliament; and, upon the better au thority of Export Lists of corn and meat. When' therefore Is the famine to rears Advice. from Barcelona of the 3d inst. united yea. terday, which state that the 'force of the insurgents In Catalonia was still extremely formidable, so that the communicadon with the rest of Spain was render ed uncertain. The accounts do not, however, speak of any recent action between the contending parties. An article from Frankfort, brought by the last mail from Holland, states, that a private letter had been re allied from Constantiuopte, dated the 11th of June, which represents that city as tranquil ; but that the Porte seems determiaed to strike a blow at the Rus sian trade in the Black Sea, by prohibiting the tie noes,. who used to carry on that trade under the Ras sign Bag, from navigating the Eaxine. Letters from Santiago de Chili of the 11th Merck. I received by way of Buenos Ayres, state that General San Martin embarked on the 7th of February for Guayaquil, to bold a conference with General Bolivar. Troops bad left Callao by sea for Arequipa to attac► La Serna, who had retired on Cuzco. In Chili all was tranquil. The predatory chief Benavides had been taken prisoner and executed. Some troops welt about to embark to take possession of the island of Chiles. The exportation of wheat bad been prohibit od, on acsount of the failure of the crops.
