Front 'fuesday's FrenZT — ipers it appeals char that ! armed resistance is again organizing in Spain. That result we have long foretold. It was, we knew, impossible that the Spaniards could sink at once front complete liberty into ae utter bondage, or that any people could submit to the atrocious tyranny that now outrages all Spain. Armed bands are gradually starting up throughout the provinces; and we shall be deeply disappointed if, before three months psis away, the entire country is not again in open insur rection. The Moniteur of Tuesday details the proceedings of a Constitutional corps of forty men (whicb, however, was probably much more numerous), and who, at Ayllon, so far back as the 11th of last month, had an open encounter with the Meade and Royalists. The account acknow ledges they "made a good stand," but were forced ulti mately to retreat, having three prisoners and two men who lost their way. (In the 15th another baud were in arena at the village of Lumias, and the same Alcade had an encounter with them. The Restokrador, from which both details are taken, asserts they were put to flight. But what confidence can be attached to the szate merits of this print ? in Cordova, it appears, as open übscontent and disturbances also prevail. The Consti sutionalists in that city post up placards, denouncing tile tyranny restored by foreign bayonets, and urging to a general resistance, the people of Cordova. S-linas, the ciovernor, had offered rewards to discover the authors, and trace some horses belonging to the National Militia ; but it does not appear the offer produced any effect. These partial disturbances are only the prelude to future and inure decisive scenes. Spain will soon he one wide scene of blood and strife; all path s ton, will unite in common hatred, and war upon the French. The wretched Ferdinand, not withstanding these fearful omens, pursued his career of l infatuation unchanged. Front some recent symptoms, it would appear as if the Inquisition would be re-established to prop his falling tyranny : the latest accounts from Madrid, in the Eb.i/e, state that especial protection had recently been extended to the members of this dark tribu nal, and that Ferdinand, wishing to place under an analo gous regime the property of all kinds which belonged to the I equisition (in which arc comprehended the pensions and revenues of the Canons), has taken from the 'treasury the administration of this property, pensions, &c. and given it to the Collector-I :eneral de Espalios. This is probably but the prelude to the installation of the Dominicans in full power, in the halls of this terrible tribunal again. Nothing but the strong retnonstrances of the Foreign Ministers has hitherto delayed its restoration ; it is earnestly desired by the tyrant and the fanatics: the strongest desire is ma nifested by the present Government to uphold and keep sacred, in the hands of its numerous members, the pro perty of the church, for temporal anti spiritual tyranny go together ; but it must fall. America now yields no funds, and the immense possessions of the church arc the only resources Spain possesses ; there is no other security for any foreign loan. It was on this the Cortes relied ; and hid the confiscations been fairly realized, they would have affonled unbounded returns ; but gross mismanage ment and peculation prevailed, even among the Constitu tional party ; the funds they possessed were embezzles! and misapplied, and the country left without defence. While :Spain is thus in every thing but open insurrection at home, said her proud dependencies parted from her for ever, the French Ministerisl papers have been discussing her right to be includtsl in any negotiations that may be opened be tween Civet Britain, America, and Russia, respecting the prepoaterous claims of the latter to the entire north-west coast of America. It may he, as the ./oseea/ dee Watt asserts, that the first discoveries on this extended coast were made by Spain ; but what interest cal she have there now, or of what use could its undivided possession be to her, situated as she is at present? She gave up the leloridae, which were of infinitely more importance ; and a portioteof this inhospitabk coast would (even if accorded) be but a wretched compensation fur all she has lost in the New World. These possessions she can meter regain. The Ole decrees of her needy tyrant will cull forth nothing froan Mexico or Columbia but defiance anal emitempt.' With Portugal the result will be the same. Brazil, which refy.sed obedience to a Constitutional Government, will never truckle to the tyranny of the vacillating Don John. Neither Spain nor Portugal eats effi:ct any thing in the New World ; and they may au well discard the idle vision of rqpinod sacendancy at once. Portugal, with more re *saws than her wretched neighbour, may again attempt tiac Brazils; but the maritime force of the latter, under Cord Cochrane, is too strung to permit a hope of success., Tbe expedition could not reach those shores ; but even if, it broiled, universal oppusition would encounter it, and certain defeat and destruction he the ultimate consequences. Mora_ than forty years mince, Great Britain, after the must ruinous and desperate exertions, bad to abandon her great colonies in North America ; sin has survived the sacrifice, and saffered nothing in resource! or power ; and Spain and Parisi* must make the same coneessi F•tiettlieria Ame r:ea ham outgrown their tyranny, and cannot be' confined lay ik.any longer.

Mr. John Hunt was yesterday convicted ou a prosecu tine by Murray, the Attorney to the Constitutional .ticso dation, for the publication of I.ortl Ityron's Juk swear. Mr. Adolphus, the loninnat historian of the last reign, was on this occasion selected as Counsel against the defendant, and his tipmch was every way worthy of his established charsitvr as an author. Thine was nothing discordant about this pthowsling: the prosecution, th 3 At torney, and the Counsel, were all worthy of each other; curry thing was gerinain, and perfectly assorted. The publication in question- —a burlesque reply to the Poet Lan reattis risk, rf .1 iagnsent--pipard Ministers anti theCtown I.aw yens unnoticed ; bat Murray, thrdisiotarette4 agent . of 'the constitutiosild gang, 'immediately had A:s ntosiehards in activity, ready to " smell out a suit." Mr. Manic, the Solicitor to the Treasury, purchased a copy of the work, but did not think of prosecution. Messrs. Murray and Adolphus, however, came forward to supply the place of the Treasury Solicitor and the Attorney-General. We j have bad the characteristic speech of one-- the lengthened bill of the other is in preparation, and yet to conic. We Iliad thought the career of this confederacy of interest ed knaves and dupes was at an end ; but the ava rice of an individual has again galvanized them into a temporary existence.. We imagined Murray's five bills, for as many prosecutions, had exhausted the funds sub scribed, but it appears there was a remnant at the tail of some thousands, and the Secretary was like a Dutchman at a meal—he was determined all should be consumed. We are no advocates for this unhappy effort of Lord Byron's pen : it war every way unworthy of his genius; the satire was coarse, and the allusions, in many instances. ungenerous arnl unworthy ; but the poem was not one half so dull, or one third so blasphemous, as that of the per jurtd Laureate, Southey. Ilia di gerel came first. Lord Byron should have disdained such an imitation, and have turned from the example with contempt. But will this malignant prosecution cast into oblivion the errors of the last reign, or veil fur ever the political faults and misfors tunes of the departed Sovereign ? Can Southey's muse, or Murray's prosecution, extinguish the writings of Junius or of Wilkes? Will they blot from the page of history the favouritism of Bute, his imbecile administration, or his mercenary peace—or extinguish the memory of the ruinous war with America—or the crusade of twenty years against the revolution of Fiance, the sad effects of which this country long must feel? Why was not Southey proiesatted for his vile Hexameters, which flung ridicule the most sacrilegious on the memcry of the depart d Sovereign? His poem was worse than burlesque ; it was impious and blasphemous, and yet it passed un noticed but by general contempt. Mr. Adolphus, with the discrimination that distinguishes him, talked of " the sublime poem of Milton in praise of religion," and of Lord Byron's muse deriding all that Milton hail held up to the admiration of mankind. The genius of the great Milton was of the highest order; he soared his eagle flight into the highest heaven, while others only winged the mid way air. But if his immortal pocm be eulogised merely fur its religious character, numberless passages may be selected, reflecting on the Deity and his attributes, much more strongly than the works of Lord Byron. What can he more revolting than the great poet's allegory of Sin and Death—a disgusting picture, calculated to call forth incre dulity and horror? 'fhe birth of gloomy Death, from Sin and Satan, as described by Milton, is horribly revolt ing ; it is the colloquy of Sin with the Arch-Fiend at the portals of Hell, and is in part as follows: " Pensive here I sat " Alone; but long I set not, till my womb— " Pregnant by thee, and now excessive grown—. " Prodigious motion felt, and rueful throes. " At last this odious offspring, whom thou west, " Thine own begotten, breaking violent way, " Tore through my entrails—that, with fear and pals " Distorted, all my nether shape thus grew " Transfornicd. But he, my inbred enemy, " Forth issued, brandishing his fatal dart, " Made to destroy : I Had, and cried out, Death ! " Hell trembled at the hideous name, and sighed " From all her caves, and back resounded Death!" Were Lord Byron to write such a description ari with the disgusting passage that follows, it would be attacked' immediately by the whole host of hirelings, as deliberate ridicule of original sin, and a studied libel on revealed re ligion. But .dr. Adolphus,--the classic and temperate Mr. Adolphus-has eulogized it, and that is all-irufficient. We have from the commencement expressed our reprobation of the confederacy of which Murray is the interested Organ, and our strung lisapprobation of prosecutions of this sort. All the efforts of this association have been directed against a few obscure individuals. Mr. hunt is the first bookseller of any respectability die gang have dared to attack. 'their, past proceedings and the motives of their agent were de- 1 tailed, with equal justice and severity, in the Reamener Paper; and hence, probably, the animosity of Murray. Mr. Hunt is now tonyictcd ; and what end will his invete rate prosecution answer? The Vision qt . ' Judgment will be read by hundreds who never sought for it before, and Lord Byron will lash hypocrisy and political profligacy with in creased severity. Mr. St' •arlett's speech was a very able one I -a striking contrast to the miserable effusion of the his-1 torinn. We wish him and Murray joy of their new asso ciation— " Arcades ambo, et eantare pares." Mr. Adolphus's eloquence is most impressive in the classic purlieus of the Ohl Bailey, but little fitted for Westmin ster I I ‘ll. A s yet it has taut 'lone much for him;—the Mi nistry do not want such an auxiliary, even in the humblest By commercial letters from Calcutta, dated July 16, we learn that the demand for cotton was without any improve ment, and salts n, re confined to the natives for country consumption. The stuck consisted of about 30,000 Inaunds. The market was bare of grain, and prices were lookirg up. All European goods were very heavy sale, large stoeks on hand, and scarce any demand. Beer was quoted 31 Its. to 31 pis. per hit., but no sales ; et.chineal 511 to 214, anti copperas 151 to 14 per md. ; Swedish iron was fully good sale at 5. S. to S.

A vessel has arrived at I itzernaey, from Rio de Janeiro, which sailed front that port on the 26th of November ; but the letters whiele have reached town contain no crypts of political importance. It is said that Lord Cochrane's last cruise had proved very 511COVAft11, and that each sailor had shared prize-money to a most extravagant amount, which had attached them in the strongest degree to the Brazilians, at the same time that it held out an almost irresistible temptation to new adventurers tojoin him. We have not heard that any person has been appointed to the Clerkship of the Yells, and we hope that no new Clerk will be named to receive a pension for doing literally nothing.

This eloquent Magistrate is justly surprised that citizens called upon to perforni duties, should refuse to fulfil them, and should thus, by a voluntary fault, prolong the capacity of a woman, s ho has a right to demand to be immediately tried. M. de l'roel, in consequence, requires that the trial be deferred to the next session; that the witnesses be condemned to pay a fine, at well an all the expenses which the delay stall occasion, and that in case of a second refusal to appear, they shall be compelled by the public forte. M. Ihirs, Counsel for Made. ('hauvet, says--his client has been ten woe in prison ; that there is nothing to prevent her being tried. a written deposititws of the witnesses may be read, who, he is sure, will sat nothing more. The Attorney-General observes, that this is contrary to the law, and that all the proceeding before the Jury must be oral. The Court, attn. deliberating, accedes to the pmpositions of the Attorney-General ; pots oil the trial to the first session in February, and condemns Messrs. Lafayette, Paulin, Irieux I.amarine, and Paquin, to u line of lOU Innen, and the cape Li m.% which the delay shall occasion. . .

The female, Hare Vivier, when brought before the Court and the Jury, adopted language different from that she used before the Coen of Instruction. After the reading of the accusation, and re , calling of witnesses, her eyes were fixed upon Ilene Larnorlette, her lover, whom she hail not at first distinguished amidst the crowd of the spectators. She then burst into wars, and her webs were heard aloud. This female, who appears to belong to the most de. graded of her class, has yet left some decency of demeanor. lies figure is not agreeable, her voice is hoarse, and her utteranc e quick. She defended herself with confidence, and her answers did not want precision or clestness. When she was questioned about her connection with larnorlette, she said that she was acquainted with him about eight years ; about six weeks since, she perceived his intention of abandoning her; she then asked hint to return her a watch-chain, and some trinkets which pie had given hint ; she pressed above all things file the con tracts which passed between them, which he persisted in rejeeing ; she endeavoured to dissuade him from a marriage which would not serve him ; they passed the night usgether, and she never spoke of dagger or knife, as he had said; when she bought the knife, she did not ask (or tune sharpened at both sides ; it was then her inten tion to stab herseif or to throw herself into the water ; when she thought her lover was dead, she was determined to die upon the scaffold : when lgotiorlette did not meet her at the appointed place, she went to seek him; she found him, and took him by the arm, and said, " This is the last time that I will speak to you; come a moment wioh site. " lie folios:eel her; she placed two glasses of wine on the tal:le; lie drank one; sloe told hint that us he was going to be marriA, ke ought at least to return her the contract. " Hold," said he, showing her the ring, which he had in his pocket, " here ie she contract ; is is not yours; it is mine; I wish to sell it; if I could get six francs fog it I would have sold it long since; but they would only give me a hundred sons ; I insist sake it to another goldsmith." These insulting expressions distracted her ; her first idea wens to stab her self; she was n st mistress of her indignation; she grasped the cursed knife, and gave hint a blow in the breast. As a proof that she slid not wish to kill hint, in place of plunging the knife in, and thus destroying hint,' she drew it quickly front the wound, and would have stabbed herself if Lantorktte had not held her AM. ..e de ?ppo?.ed occur to ...a • Court JAM Thor .41i•11 ,Door maliciou Ateni ttstiot ft Othel scan fre'rio I 11 Is of IN cont. malic The President reminded her that she had given quite a differ eat i • • LAW IN? account of the transaction. l The accused persisted in her statement. t; —.• Isamorlette was the first witness called.
