Yesterday, at half-peat three in the afternoon, their Majesties and their Royal ifighnemes returned to this copula. The garrison and local militia formed a double line for the passage of the august family, who made their entry amidst the oedema.' Lions of an immense multitude, who evinced their attachment by the most ardent demonstrations of j"y. (From the Gazette de France tel' Suaday.j The following is an extract of intelligence which has just reached us from Barcelona, down to the 6th December : " Several incendiary pamphlets, in which moor. rection is openly advocated, have been distributed in profusion; the C.aptatii-General has, rather clan destinely, introduced 300 soldiers and warlike stores into this citadel, in which the Commandant of Barcelona has shut himself up. As soots as this event was known, the militia caused a general our. ter to be sounded, and spont sly assembled to the number of 4,000, shouting • Death to the Servile." " An attempt was mule to surprise Mont-Joey ; but this failed. The Commandant of this fort, and he who commands the citadel, replied, that they meld not d. so_ without an order from the Captain-General. An officer was dispatched so de. mend an order to this effect. The answer is ex• pected with impatience, and great ferment pre. voila. The most disastrous consequences will enevi tably follow if this order be not granted. The populace are very vehement, and openly avow their intention of repulsing the anthorities, should they present themselves to re-enter Barcelona. " The election of the ftegidars at Salvia gave ►ise to violent coinasotions. The Preside►►t of the As sembly was ill-treated, and struck ; a conflict with knives took place, in which many were wounded. The militia have been dispatched to restore order, and we are yet a ignorant how things have ended. " All et es are turned towards Diego, who has sliewn himself in various points of Catalonia, and who is now said to be at Mauves." BAYONNE, DECIMIIIIII 8. /From tAs Quitidiewne.) Ou the 11th ult.

Four thousand troops of the line, and six thousand of the regular provincial militia, are ordered to march to the fron tiers of Gs!brio. and assemble in the vicinity of Astorga.

From this author, however, we collect, that the Royalists are firmly attached to the principles of the Constitution; that in parties. ler they admit, in its fullest extent, the doctrine of ministerial responsibility, the perfect iadepen dence of the two Legislative Chambers, and fire liberty of the press. Upon the point of a pre. censorship, it may not, perhaps, be uninteresting, on account of the recent events in the Chamber of Deputies, to transcribes few of M. de CmArsikti- BILIAND . II opioions, as they were avowed io the year 1816. Their justice and propriety are too generally applicable not to render them at all times valuable: " As long," he observes, " as the press shall be is bon dage, the Deputies have a right to consider Miaisters as responsible for its errors; because in this ease the Censers are the person to blame, mid the Censors are nothiug bat the agents of the lifinisters." " lo a constitutional monarchy the powers of the Mo narch and of the Legislative Bodies must be anisisteat sad balanced. But if you throw the press into the scale of the Ministers, and permit them to employ it exelesively is their own favour, they will soon turn public opinion against the Chambers : the balance is destroyed, sod the Cooatitstion in danger." " I also beg to observe, that Goveromeata sire set naafi. toted for the exclusive see or profit of Ministers. There are others also who have some little interest in them. If our Mi nisters dislike the sisooyaeee which t►e freedom of the rem may produce, they should go sad live derv/here ; a free Go.

" A Anal and sot unimportant ronsideratiso be Ministers is, that the liberty of the pre*/ relieves tbrot from an irk. some responsibility to Foreign Powers. Thy would be no Mager pestered witb those diplomatic notes obiels lim argil genes of a Crow, or the igooremee of &aeon, ecomilmolly brim doom apse dim." These paragraphs, taken from the writiogs of one who has been frequently called the Apostle of the Ultra-Royalists, must hove the effect of removing some of the prejudice which exists against that party, as if they were hostile to freedom, anal must rebut much of the charge of inconsistency that has been urged against them, as if the act of with drawing the law of the censorship were so aban donment of their firs principles; indeed we litetr met a writer who asserts more forcibly then dose M. de CHATSAVIIIRIAND the absolute necessity of maintaining the freedom of the press, as if it were the life and moving spring of a constitutional go. vernment. The expressions he uses are remark ably strong : such as, " that which is above all things necessary is the liberty of the press; let us lose no time in claiming it." Again, " without the liberty of the press there can be no represeu tative government." And in another place, after warmly commenting upon the rights of the public to control the conduct of the depositaries of power, he add►, " How shall the Ministers end the Chem bers ascertain the public opinion, if the press, the tongue of the people, be not free ?" So much interest is attached at the protest moment ►o the probable views of the new Ministers in their do mestic policy, that we shall make no apology for having recalled public attention to this work. It was considered at the time of its publication as the announcement of the principles and political views entertained by the putty of which M. de CHI. TEAUSIIIAND has alweys been considered a pro minent member; and if the passages we have now extracted upon a most important subject, which the new Ministers have mode the chief feature of their policy, will contribute in any degree to gra tify public anxiety, we shall not have taken this trouble in vain. We have received the Dublin Papers to the 17th instant inclusive. Preparations were making at the Castle and the Phcenix Park for the reception of the Marquis WELLESLEY and Mr. GOULEURN. We confidently expect that they will find the slate of the country mach less frightful than it has been repre. rented. The alarm in the city of Dublin has mani festly declined, and the fortifications, of which so much has been said, amount to nothing more than the erection of u ehevaux-defris on the top of the Bank for its protection against thieves who might attempt an entrance from the roof. " We have not heard," says a Dublin Paper, " that those famous things, the Monello Towers, are to be manned, nor do we now hear that it is in con templation In barricade the city. On Sunday last workmen were employed in fabricating planks, and on Tuesday the alarm was again at its acme. We have no objection, as we said twenty times, to proper precautions; but we have every objec tion, nor have we been backward in expressing our opinion, to the systematic alarm of which this city has been the theatre until within the last few days, Some timid or credulous spirits might have given ear and tongue to the monstrous reports iu tirade. ploughshare or his shuttle. Fur the tranquillity of this part of the country, therefore, as well as fist that of the metropolis, no sensible man entertains, or affects to entertain, the slightest apprehension. In Munster, as might naturally be expected, alarms are more general and systematic. The state of Limerick and Tipperary gave too much room and possibility to these stories. But so eager and injudicious are they, that they seem to have overshot the mark, even on this their favourite ground. Several specimens have already b een given. In Cork, districts have been described as in a state of insurrection, where • single outrage had not occurred—men were murdered, who raver felt a blow—houses were burned, which had nut a slate removed from the roof—and arms were seized, where no arms had ever been. The story of a post boy, and of the mn►dered dragoon, related in our last, with its coutradiction, (tallish ample testimony of the prevalence of this system.-- la Leinster and Connaught every thing is quiet—all the horrible stories have died away, and the people of these provinces are now wondering at their oleo fears. In one word, it does not appear to us that any part of the kingdom is really in a state of dis. turbance, with the exception of two counties— Limerick and Tipperary. There have been seta of outrage, it is true, committed in I other places. but they are solitary and *gated. and by no means connected with a gamma system." We shall be anxious to hear the report of the Marquis W on the State of Ireland, which will be returned, most probably, to Perlis went soon after the meeting. It will be no diffi cult matter to the scrutinieitig eye of the Nbble Marquis to find out, that the dearth of a circulat ing medium is the primary cause. and that the tithes and the rapacity of the middle-roen are the finishing ones. of the present discontent and di,. turbances.

It is confidently stated that Lord MELVILLE has expressed a determination not to vacate the Admi ralty; that Lord LowDONDlteltir is to be railed to the House of Lords; and that Mr. Part expects to have the lead in the House of Commons.

The Moniteur of Monday last has arrived, bet upon the subject of the recent changes in the French Cabinet, or upon the course of policy, foreign and domestic, which the new Ministers mean to pursue, it offers no intelligence of sly interest. The accounts which it contains from Spain are very unsatisfactory, inasmuch as they shew that the public mind in that country labours under a very alarming state of excitement, and that some revolu tionary explosion is at least apprehended by many persons, although there appears nothing very precise to justify a terror so extravagant. The only well founded alarm seems to be one on the part of the Ministers that they must lose their places. To this point, indeed, the public mind in Spain is very earnestly directed, and from all that has hitherto appeared of the conduct of the present Ministers, the Kixo and country would, as it seems to us, suffer but little evil if they were compelled to give way to better Ines and more energetic measures. It is possible, certainly, that the clamour against the Ministers may be nothing more than a pretence to conceal ulterior and more violent purposes; but when, as we are told, officers of high rank in the army, commanding bodies of troops who entertain similar feelings, require the dismissal of Ministers as the only security for the public peace, and when two of the most populous and by far the most important provinces of Spain, Andalusia and Gaels, declare that they will not recognise the KING'S authority until these Ministers are dies missed, it is not wise in the KING to balance be tween the certainty of a civil war, fur which he is very ill prepared, and the support of a set of Ministers who have not the ability nor the means to render his power formidable or his person respected. We cannot, however, form any fixed opinion upon the state of parties iu Spain, or upon the actual condition of that monarchy, for it is impos sible not to see in every account that comes from it teeming with alarm an evident disposition to exaggerate and distort every occurrence. We turn therefore with pleasure from the consideration of the matter to a closer view of the affairs of France, which, under the present aspect, offers to our mind a fir more interesting subject of inquiry. A change of Ministry so extensive and decisive as has been so suddenly accomplished in France, naturally implies an equally extensive and decisive change in the principles which are to govern the future march of public affairs in that country. The Royalists have hitherto tasted so little of the sweets of power since the restoration, that they have out had sufficient eisportuniey of letting the world per. crier and appreciate the objects and character of their government. Out of power they have never ceased to complain that the true interests of the KING and of France .have been sacrificed to what they call the system of revolutionary interests, and which, as they pretend, concealed but imperfectly the ulterior object of • change of dynasty. They have always affected to believe that the KING, who was meant to be the victim, has also been the dupe of the conspirators, and it was iu support of this presumption that they somewhat affectedly pro claimed their resolution to save the KING in spite of himself." They also have asserted that one of the principal means employed for subverting th e ' , se pa thr one was the destruction of the church, and they thence inferred, as • necessary consequence, that if tite monarchy were sought to be protected, the power of the clergy should be enlarged, mad an identity of interests established between the throne and the altar. If the principles, however, of the Royalists be sought us in a system, they will, we Ismer, be fumed moat fully and witisfectorily de ' tela iu the celebrated work by M. d e CHA rllrn 14,D, eu TAe Maar cAy according to the cimr ter." That work has beep always lauked to by 1 ,. :4:i 1 )141 thry thy / r Fi I r I
