thus placed, he would solemnly assert, this measure did not owe its origin to, or was it sought to he palmed by the influence or autho rity of any other Power whatever, lie felt and valued the ties that bound himself; he ):new the ties that bound his country to Europe ; aid he would solemnly repeat, he would prefer the rejection of the measure by the Howe, to its being carried to satisfy the influence of any other Power. Ile would deny this imputation altogether ; he would go farther, and say, the character of the House was pledga al to the success Of the measure; and he would state solemnly, that, by paltering with the Act, we wer e es p os i ng ourse l ves to the moat imminent danger. The real question for the consideration of ! the House was, whether the Act before them gave power that should be added to, or if, being already too large, they trenched more upon lib. ray than war necessary for the purpose ? He would assume that to be the feet which coincided with the recorded sentiments of the , House; and what Bill would enable the House or give the power of removing khe foreigner who was not reasonably an object of east°. cion as • violation of the public peace and tranquillity ? Where this law was put in force ' was there. not (if k was complained of) adi rect appeal to the Privy Council ? Ile did not mean to say this proceeding was equivalent to a decision at law, but did it not cast a notoriety over the entire transaction ? And it was unnecessary for him to tell the House, that in a free country, where a Minister was compelled to set in the face of day, it would be impossible for him to act unjustly, and that a foreigner would not be removed if he were rot justly suspected; and this right of appeal, though nut law, yet had all the vahiable effecip and comexpiences of law ; and thus it should be admitted, that IT Government required this Act, it could not be for the purpose of abusing it, or using it un necessarily. In the arguments used and adopted by the lion Gen- denten opposite, they had reasoned from imaginary cases. lie would state to the House a real ease which took place within a fortnight ; at that petted his Right Hon, Friend, Mr. Peel, (and he would give that priority upon the occasion to which he was in. : titled), and he were hisitating whether the Bill should he called I for, or whether it should not be suffered to expire; and from what happened at the time, he did not think he would be doing his duty if he did not propose the Bill ; and, but for his eh-' sence from the House, he would beg to ask a question of , an Honourable Member opposite, if there was any thing in the conduct of his Majesty's Government that ought to enforce his continental—he begged pardon, he bad fallen into the same mistake with the Honourable Member himself—he mean Constitutional jealousy. ((mud laughier.) lie would state facts, and he would appeal to that Noble Lord opposite him, all whose conduct was marked by the stamp of good sense, and who had I made suggestions on this subject to which, however, lie could not I agree, and he would ask him what advant age Mi n i sters wou ld pro- ! pose to di ...wirer, what temptation they could have, to pass an Act of Parliameet without any specific object? The Noble bore.. had sonic experience. he had an Act of Parliament in his own hands t he was endeavouring to obtain an improvement in the colleetioa of sine]] debts. (A laugh.) lie would call upon him to try his legislative skill in bringing a foreigner in this country to trial for treason against his own king; if he could do this, he would , be doing what was perfectly novel in the annals of law, of legit'. lation, and jurisprudence. lie had never seen a simila;enactruent in any thing that he lied read, either ancient or modern. The fret I which be would state to the House was this--n was his lot to be in formed that a plot was in agitation against the colonies of a cer tain country which he would not name, and here he would premise tha the would not mention the nature or situation of the parties—. I whether they were subdued, or /whether they were triumphant: ' but the plot dial exist, well gotten up, plausible in its object, and not deficient in its means. l'pon knowing it, lie applied to his Right lion. Friend, and by his own means of information, he discovered the remainder; they sent for the party, and apprised I hey were acquainted with the transaction, his designs, and the names of his associates. The fact of the plot was admitted ; the object of it was not denied. The party merely denied the names of his asseciates ; he was not sent out of the country • he was told to desist, to be moderate in his conduct, and lie shou ld not be mo lested.; and he (Mr. Canning) thought it his duty t o communicate to the Sovereign of the individual that the plot did exist, but he would not declare the:name of the individual. The Noble Lord, with all his skill could not have a general law to meet Insane. lie should bring forward a particular law to meet the particular case, and then lie would be obliged to bring forward the names of the individuals and the other circumstances which Minis ters haul kept back. lie hoped the Nuhle Lord would to-night, on his return home, frame an Act to meet this age, and he promised him, all his legislation about the recovery of small , debts would sink into insignificance. With the instance which' he stated, clear and fresh in the recollection of his Right Honour able Friend and himself, they could not refrain front bringing in this l%aU. The object of this Bill would be, not to let crime come to its height and vigour, hut to prevent it in its conception, and be fore the moment of its execution. lie admitted, from th e Legis lative policy of the country, which presumed every man innocent before he was proved to be guilty, this could not be done in the other departments of the country. There was another supposition about the subjects of this Bill; it was supposed there was some• thirg angelic about every foreigner that came to the country ; he was supposed to be a patriot hero of prowess it seemed to be I utterly forgotten that London " Was the needy villain's common home, " The sink and.sewer of Paris and of lane." He would not say every fectigner in the country was of this descrip tioo ; he believed there were tome of the best and most learned persons of Europe here. But if we had patriots and heroes, we had also panders, duennas, el hoc genus IMM'; we had also quacks, which was well known, he believed, at Manchester. If, therefire, it was assumed that the operations of the Act would ' bear upon the respectable classes, it would be as fair for him to as sume they would act merely on the opposite description. Would hot the best application of the law be that already given of it, not to give up the foreigner to his offended Sovereign, but to compel him to stop, and prevent the country from being brought into . trouble by our interference with other countries. There were also . exaggerations to be complained of in the mode of speaking on the subject. It was argued, that every foreigner that UMW to the country was subject to this law; this was far from being the case; a butt it would not be dotug enough, if we were morally called on by t any Power for not doing what we ought to prevent a plot, to say, " We have caught one of the plotters, and have tried him by a jury • composed of half foreigners." lie asked for the general Kin elide of legislation upon this subject, and would conclude by asking for the continuance of this measure fair the corn ; paced tinte, until, he hoped, we would outlive the period of agitation; and he would propose its duration until the danget should be over, and until the world had returned to a system of quiet, moderate, and peaceful policy, lie trusted the begis t lature would not renounce the advantage of the measure, and leave the country defenceless, as defenceless it would be without such a a system of legislation. (Loud cheers.) , Mr. TIERNEY replied to the Right lion. Gentleman in a speech, through which we lament that our limits will not enable i us to follow him. Ile said, it ever there was a speech which I looked one way while it rowed another, it was that of the Right a lion. Gendetuan'a. The Right lion. Gentleman's text was t the safety, the peace of England -140 much was the same text his own, that if any man could convince him that the Bill was ne • cowry to the peace or safety of the country, he would heartily vote for the measure. Rut he was perfectly convinced that the in . (crests of Great Britain dial not call for the Bill, and the Right I lion. Secretary had admitted that he himself hail doubts of the ne cessity for it even within the last fortnight. The Right Hon. Se ! cretary had wasted a great deal of classical research in ascertaining at whet period a nation was in a hit state to commit a rape. But, from the Revolution down to a late (late, a period during which the country had existed in great prosperity, no such law as that now be. fore the flame had been deemed necessary, a measure which went only to enable Government to worry any poor devil of a foreigner who should come into the country. (A laugh.) These men sought an asylum here on account of political differences between them. selves and their rulers : one party styled the other tyrants ; those called these rebels. If they came in great numbers some alarm might be entertained at their arrival amongst us, but when they came here by driblets, all fear of them was ridi culous ; and it was new to him to learn, that because men were oppressed at home they ought to be viewed with suspicion in England. The Right lion. Gentleman spoke of the danger which this country ran of being committed by the machinations of those emigrants, but it felt no fear of being equally compromised by the machinations of thistle despots who plotted against the liberties of mankind. The Right Honoursble Gentleman had referred to a plot he was convinced that the knowledge of it had not been obtained by any system of espionage established by his Majesty's Government, for he could not prevail upon himself to suspect them of such unworthy conduct ; but still the plot was communicated to Ministers.-and what had they done ? They told the individual whom they called before them that they would infomi his Government of it. Was it necessary that they should have an Alien Act to enable them to make such a communication ? Was the dread of a quarrel to be created by four or five foreigners a ground for the continuance of so odious a measure as this ? Was the Ministerof England justified in calling for such a Bill as the present, because a few persons might, merely in the idea of some ' roniantic attempt, rescue themselves and their families from the f4= ed condition of slaves? (Hear, hear.) It made a man's revolt from such a measure, to meditate on the misery it was calculated to entail on hapless strangers in this country. Ile (Mr. Tierney) would do justice to the Right lion. Secretary of State for Foreign Atkin, and also the Secretary for the Home Department, to say, that he believed of them they would not so degrade themselves.° as to patronize and encourage a system of espionage over the foreigners residing in this country : They would not follow and track than out ; and he would put it to the Right Hon. Secretary for Foreign Affairs, if the information which he this night su e (ed to the House was not cotnmunicated to him from some foreign Government, or through the means of its agency ? The true danger was not to be apprehended from foreigners in this country, but from the principle of the Bill itself ; teat principle was one which declared hostility against all machinations what ever. At present it was only stated to extend to the plots that foreigners might hatch in this country, but machinations might also appmr in the shape of pamphlets and publications ; and these, he would may, were the worst machinations against the despots of Europe. Nothing was more calculated to inspire an abhorrence of their I iovcmments than an accurate description of them. Should such pas; lications circulate extensively, an application would be immedi ately made to Government to stop them. Such was the effect and tendency of the principle of die present Bill. The Bight lion. (lent. had expressed himself against the principlenn which the war was in the first instance waged by France, and the sentiments which he expressed so frequently to that effect during tile last Session of Parliiunent, were those which he was sure he sincerely entertained. The sentence in the Speech of the King of France, which referred to this war, In his opinion almost amounted to impiety ; it attri buted to Divine Providence the result of the war, which blessed the endeavours of the French nation in bringing to a glorious termi nation. what was termed a war commenced on just and generous principles. If a French writer were to stir upon this text, who did not agree in the propriety of this assertion, then would France ptake applicatioe to the Ministers of this country, and b the principle of this Bill they would be obliged to attend to such tap_ w et& When the Bill did expire, as he trusted it would expire ; without the necessity for another renewal (hear, hear), he would NI that the Government, no matter who might compose it, will' but do its duty if it does not suffer it to lapse into annihilation. Ile did not look for popularity by laying down this principle; hut hav ing made this avowal an to the Bill, he should be less anxious as to its minor details. Gentlemen should recollect that, in the best Um moment. of a former time, there had been an equal claim laid by t h e pi - Mit:ion of such a power and which had been executed by, the Crown almost arbitrarily, and sometimes with the consent of i p a rliament. hut the consent which had been then given differed materiel!), from that which was now nought. 1 1 'euld the lion. ! Gentlemen compare the consent of the present Parliament to that which was given to Henry VIII ? What ! the consent. of a p ar . eament which voted the Crown absolute? lie (Mr. Canning) did not wish to say that when the Crown had +inch a power, either in. hetet or granted by Parliament, it should be at all time used ; but he would say, that power should be at all times possessed, either by the Crown or Parliament, to dad more severely with aliens than with our own subjects. Sane lion. Gentlemen, who had exclaimed against the motion, had asked why this country should be the only one to arrogate to itself this privilege • but the true question was the other way, and it must be asked, sh all this country be the only one I which does not possess it? He would defy the lion. Gentleman to quote an instance from the history of any country, monarchic or demo:retie, from the very earliest periods to the present, in which a Government consented to he without it. Why then, he would .eik, should the British Governm a ris ee the only one with out a power which occasions mightto bring into action There was another argument ngalnst the Bill, an argument that was familiar in men's mouths—it awned that such as power wan 111COUSII • tent with freedo n, but, in fact, it was the Other way. Ile had said that ell Governments had had the newer, and lie would now say that the freetot governments, more than all others, had executed it, and were to look no more to those ancient republics which had so long been o u r models ? In the re public of Sparta stranger% were conaidered no better than Helots ; in polished Athens, they had to seek out fir patrons ; and If the Alien Tax, which was severe, were not paid, they were always I committed to prison. Was it not the Came in Rome ? There strangers were allowed to remain in the city, but were there also obliged to chaotic a Imam, and were liable to be sent out in droves at the mandate of the tribune. Ile quoted these circumstances to prove d'at there was nothing inconsistent or new in dealing with aliens differently to our own subjects. Another question had been started, and it wati—Did not this country, at it s cashew periods, invite aline to settle here ? But was this country the wine now as it was then ? No ; there reseal the difference whit h was between the slave and the free—the new and the old. The Wee of Rome was at first to incites/be its population, and what wan necessity in • the beginning became jealousy in the sequel. It would be no more I absurd to say that they should have adopted IS a principle the rape of the Sabaws, when such an act was only an set of necessity in a new country, as to say that their former line of conduct, as it re spected strangers, should have remained unchanged when the city was old, and be as it existed when the city was irew. Ile would ask--Could there he an opinion contrary to this, that when • coun try underwent • change, its policy mule do the saute. That such is the ease would be ascertained by turning to the states which are now at amity with Great Britain. Whatever degree of liberty was possessed by the Ignited States, he would assert that this coml. I try was equally in a state of freedoin ; but there was this great difference in the 'notation of the two nations, the whole object of A epicene was to afford every facility to •dventur era • hut the object of England was to look with jealousy on 'all such—how we shall keep nor subjects, while theirs IS how\ to gather more. But in this unconstitutional, or, as was asserted by an Honourable Gentleman, • proof of the de generacy of the British name? Where do Englishmen travel yoga Lo Lin YU 31.11•4 int sapient° or letups of eau aalq Lays imp strangers in England hare to complain? Where, without being chained as it were by the leg by passports, end meeting with innu merable other ilifficuties. Ile (Mr. Canning) did not blame the principle, but he protested against England being singled out from among nations as the only one where aliens were meddite/ with. The power did not haling to despotic onions only--not alone toTurkey end RUSSIA. lila he would ask the Honourable Gentlemen did any one of them ever walk over the bridge of Geneva, and on what principle it is that imprisonment is suffered thee, and not inflicted by despots, but by those who had been so touch lauded by hie arithmetical friend Sismondi ? Those young gentlemen who visit this land, when they return to England are told that they roust vote against the Alien Bill, the origin of all their troubles. Ile (31r. fanning) was not prepare, to say whet would satisfy as to the present income, hut looked upon it as certain, that when the Bill expired it would he necessary that Rome power should remain. Ile row cattle to citywide? the Bill as it applied to this period, not to consider whether it Wll4 good from beginning to end, but whe ther it wan mined to the present time. lie was well aware, and prepared to say, that any danger which might be apprehended from any foreigner would not be worth taking notice of. He believed that in the very worst times there would he always a feeling in the English mind which would throw off all foreign aid, and never allow an infection to he communicated to this country. But it was nett-man , to notice what his lion. Friend had already had occasion to state, that a groat struggle was goinglin in the world, and that this country had been (and long may it be so) an asylum for theme whom political causes had exiled from their' native lands. But it was imperative on this country to write over the gate by which they entered—Here you shall be safe, but your feuds and family hatred meet not be introduced among us; you must not here forge your weapons. It was most right to make these teems- If such were not the case, what would be the conse quence? That asylum would be felt by Europe to be the place of all those who meditate the disturbing of her tranquillity. Eng lend would always afford safety to those who were driven from their home.; hut her own peace and safety must not be pnt to ha :ard. Ile (Mr. Canning) we, aware that there were sane Hon. tientlemen in the Iloilo who were of opinion, that in this etrug gbleirtyf7anerrseillti.e. p.fii,oiciLlesrlifiitioticet as 5 1 ht t t w o e ta ou k g e h t:a t n o i w o i l t d h o C u t ; banner over the heads of those who seek to overthrow the different establishments of the world- But he wouhl hay to those who so thought, that when the Ministers hail been sustained by the voice of the country, which had been echoed, and by echo echoed again, is their determination to maintain neutrality, and not to adopt the measures which such persona wished them to adopt towanfii the overthrow of establishments (nom motives he had no doubt of the best and purest nature) ; he would say to them, that their opinions were in defiance of the voice of the Sovereign, the declaration of Parlimneot, and the wishes of the public. Those who think that His Majesty's Ministers should conform to this view their fettled opinions, ought flat to try the Parliament on the eabjeet, and ascertain whether it would be wished that they Would soften down aninioeitien, or stir up angry feelings into action ; anti if they carry a vote in the latter affirmative, not only the Alien Bill, which is comparatively a trifling matter, hut the' foreign Enlistment should also go, and a new era of legislation commence. And when the Honourable Gentlemen had attained their object, when they had breught the British Parliament to raiment, and obtained the sanction of the Sovereign, they might tall find, after all, that considerable difficulties lay in their way, and it would not be to be wondered at, if, in the end, they were obliged to propose nomething like the present Bill for the benefit of the country. fie ( Mr. Canning) was assured that if that Par liament were, be their advice, 'trite of all its power, nothing would occur in this country but armaments against the powers of Europe. To chew the strength of his argument, he would put it in another way. His Hon. and Learned Friend had given notice of a motion far the recognition of the South American Colonic...l; from this ma. tion, however, he had desiated, when it was declared by his Ma ,esty's Government that any armament which sailed front the ports if Spain for the purpose of invading those colonies during the pc. tied of the preponderance of the French power in that country, would be looked on as a French armament ; and he would consider a his Learned Friend had tried other nations fairly by that rule which he had himself applied. France or any other country would dearly have the %Ann right to say to England, that any armament ailing from any English port was an English armament; this *odd be as hornet an argument from any of the Continental Pawns, as it would he from this country ; and in the present state Odic world. he telt gratified in asserting that it was the Foreign Enlistment Bill, and the Bill at present before the House, that saved it fruit this situation, Here it not for these .Sets it would be Physically impooible to prevent foreigners from making this esemtry the scene of their operations, for the purpose of emithining Ind obtaining redrew for those injuries and oppressions they had received. And he would, after this statement, ask his Ilmontrable Friend if, after pursuing a line of conduct which would make, and /ugly make, his country obnoxious to all the consequences and Mashies of war, he could consistently decline that warfare? This *wild most certaidhr be the situation of affairs, if the country was stripped of those laws to which he had alluded. It was not, therefore, for the benefit. for the advantage, or for the interests of England he wished the continuance of the measure, but he 'tithed it for the peace and tranquillity of the country. Ile would wish for the continuance of the measure, until we saw the and of those agitations which existed In the civilised world, eel which God alone knew when we should see, and for the ter. mutation of which no man was more anxious than himself ; with :he exception of these measures, we had no other means in our peen of keeping our reputation amongst the nations of the world ; ifwe gave up these measure, our character would be lost, and ."'laid of being considered the tenor, we would be looked upon as Vle laughing-stock of Europe. Ile would ask the (louse, if they mad gin up these laws which were the protection of the country, 9 incur dangers which they, voluntarily brought upon themselves? own the consideration of these eases, therefore, he would maintain . .(et it would endanger not thefreedorn alone of this country, but its ttaquillity and peace, if the foreigner who approached our capital lit suffered to violate theselaws. It was unnecessary for him to re the, the House, that upon all occasions of wars in Europe, the con *ding parties looked to this country for the sinews ; they all had keufie to the Exchequer of this country, and those who had the t i ?froul of that exchequer lent to all parties indiscriminately.

Mr. CANNING explained. Ile assured the Right Ilon : Gen tleman (Mr. Tierney) that he did not receive the information on the case he that night submitted to the Boole, either directly or indirectly, from any foreign Court. " This I assure him on my honour." TIERNEI' then desired to knew if the Right lion. Gent. obtained this information in consequence of any scrutiny or in spection he had himself instituted over the cendt,ct of foreigners? Mr. CANNING—" No." Mr. PEEL rose to reply. He was happy to hear the testimony which the Right Hon. Gentleman bore to the happy, contented, land prosperous condition of this country. After all the prognostic of disgrace—after all the prophecies of failure, it was pacifying and cheering to hear this announcement from the very persons who were foremost in indulging in these (Hear, hear, hear.) Should the efforts be renewed which had before been m ace for effecting a change in the established Constitution of the country, and more particularly of this House (('heers from the Ministerial benches, re-echoed by the Oppos ition), Tl he hoped the House would bear in mind that an acknowl mcntof the increasing pmsperity of the country had been extorted those liv whom failure and din. grace were uniformly , before predicted. The Right liou. Gentle man (Mr. Tierney) had impugned the motives of those who intro duced the present Bill, and also disapproved of its objects He stated their motives us be, not to preserve the internal tranquillity of this country, but to aid tit: continental Sovereigns in crushing the aspirations of freedom. Now he would make the most positive de claration that no compmmise had been ever made ; that uo bargain or agreement, either written or implied, had been ever entered into with a Continental Power, as to the policy of continuing or abort. dotting this Still. To the imputation of such a motive he was therefore prepared to give the most emphatic refutation and denial that the terms of language could convey. As to this country being the asylum of distress, it was u much act now as it had ever Seen. in what instance, he would ask, was hos pitality to the distressed denied in England ? (inc ease had been referred to, which occurred before he became connected woethe Home Department with the merits of that cue he was not acquainted, but he would defy any instance since he had the honor to hold the office, of the powers of this Bill having been abused or improperly resorted to. The Right lion. Gent. had contrasted those whom he called the despots of Europe with the people of Europe. These were the extreme principles to which his Right lion. Friend Alr. C.) had alluded. It was the duty of this country to adopt a middle course—a policy of neuttulity ; and aciing upon that principle, as he would refuse those who in 1821 held monarchial principle, in Spain from making this country the theatre of intrigue against the Constitutional Go vernment as then constituted, so would he equally disallow those who were then of the Constitutional party (some of whom, be be lieved, were now in this country) from making this Endand, to use an expression of his Right Honourable Friend, "the workshop of machinations against the established Government of their native country." It had been said that this measure was not enforced formerly but if not still, severer measures, such as the suspen sion of the Habeas Corpus Act, were put in force at the period al luded to. file. Wyndham did not think so sensitively on sending a subject back to his native country. Ile used to speak of it as only "drowning a fish." The Right Honourable Gentleman had cau tioned him against being the police-agent of the Sovereigns of Europe. He knew his duty as an Englishman, (too well to condescend to be the the agent of the interests of any country but his own. The Hon. hirinher for Southwark (Sir R. Wilson), seemed to think this Bill objectionable, because it exempted foreigners residing in this country for seven years . frout a liability to its enactments, whilst it fell with severity on foregoer' recently ar rived in this country. No foreign interference had prevailed in in troducing the present Bill, or such exemption would not have been made. The Right Hon. Gentleman recapitulated the arguments he had previously urged, and concluded by saying, that althOugh all foreigners should be hospitably received, they should not be per mitted by political intrigues to desecrate the asylum into which that had been received. (Hear, hear.) Lord lALTHORP briefly explained. The Right Hon. usury ( Mr. Canning) had somewhat misrepresented his undies* in the course of his address to the House. Ile admitted the prin- cilie of placing some cheek over aliens ought to be vested in the Executive Government. Ile objection was to the arbitrary power of the present Bill. lie would prefer certain regulations should be introduced, which gave the accused party an opportunity of meeting tbe charge brought against him, and, if he could, of yin. dicating his innocence. To dismiss hint peremptorily on suspicion, MLR a most oppressive and ungracious measure. The House then divided, For the second reading, 172 1 For the Amendment, 92 DUTCH MAIL. BERLIN, MARCH 23.

The Paris Pipers of Ifdduesday and Thursday re cited our office last night. lerdinard of Spain, the .d/endeat states, was to set out for Aranjuez on the 21d11,---there, i:. his summer retreat, to reflect on all the good he has lately done—to count over, at his leisure, the murders he h,.. enacted, the oaths he has viorated, and the universe! misery he has brought on Spain; tl.cre may the perfidious, tyrant banquet on the thoughts " of what men's tongues will say. Of what their hearts ttrast think ; To have no creature ton him whip living, Nor his memory when dead." The Spanish Ministers, ()falie and Colomando, it was rep posed, would accompany hint to Aranjuez. The French Ambassador, the " Ultra" 'falaru, was to leave Madrid, and resign his mission, under the disguise of a leave Of ab 'senca for three months. His residence in Spain bad been useless. Whether from want of talents or of inclination. Talent was a cipher in the Spanish capital ; his authority.. was, in faq superseded by the leg mission of the triscouite Martelius ; and all authority from the Paris Cabinet 6 now vested in Donna -nt, the French Pro-Consul, who; backed by forty thousand bayonet", is alone abso!ct... within tile Pyrenees.—The illoniten.- makes a passing allu- sion to Mexico, and to the late measures of the Congress it , that tine country, expelling the EnroPeans hem its•shores, and levying large contributions from their confiscated tdro-', perty. Another letter, the French official Ge.ierie a&! (with a coca:sled envy), "speaks in meanificent tern* of , the recepti n given at Mexico to the knglish (lons/ifs." Yes; thanks to the wisdom and the energy of our Minister, the views of France are belied in the country of 'Moetes,' zuma. The conquest of Co r t ez w ill never pass to her hands, or those of her vile vassal again. Meiieci and elk America arc fear, and our Consuls have been received as the Ministers of a flee country, whose alliance ensures protection. It appears that some dreadful "ernes hare taken place at Barcelona, where the Conatitutionalista er.;,. numerous. One of the sanguinary fanatics who have beim; urging the horrid acts of bl oo d and oppression that Ita v 4 covered Spain with misery, addressed, within oat of the churches of Barcelona, on The toth of last month, a minim from the pulpit, the tenor of which wast, the restoration pt the property of she cleric , " paired 'into olhcr hbili.f - 41newt 1820. The wretched preacher was assailed by his indict...l' nant auditory, and torn from tbo WO ; his life woulta have been the sacrifice, but for the rempt interference,pt the French geerison, who, with t Acuity, " rescued die, "pallid Monk,". and repressed the tumult s swe lli ng i n, f every 'met of the Catalonian capital.' The Spaniards have been urged by the tyrant and his partisans to the last hounds of sufferance. There are limits even in Turkey I/ova:4 which despotism cannot go; and the day of fearful reekur- ing is, we hope, at length rising over the guilty h e ads o r. this circleof fanatics and assassins. —Rav e s, the Presidtmt of the last French Chamb er o f D e p ut ies ° and who had the majority of votes in the late election, has ken 'tuned to, the same office by Louis for the present Session. • Over what an assembly he will preside !
