The French Pipers of kfonelay possess little interest ; the official part of the filwaitetir is taken up with a series of domestic ordinanct., of no moment beyond those shores where they apply. In its non-4ficial columns thee is an article, under date from Madrid, of the Nth, which states, that Ferdinand's Government, being obliged to giro its whole attention to the affairs of the Peninsula, had relaxed in appearance its preparations against the . . colonies. " Some persons (it adds) pretend that answers " from foreign Cabinets are expected before operations " beyond the ocean are concerted." Other accounts, how ever, from that capital to the tithe contained in the Bayonne letter, which will be found to ear columns, state, that the expedition for some time preparing in the port of Cadiz, consisting of the Asia and the remains of the Spaniels navy, were to sail between the 11th and 13th fur Lima. We imagine, however, that the last accounts from Peru, and the detail of Canterac's complete defeat, will act as an embargo on this expedition ; and we think it more then likely it will not sail for the present. As these ships, however, would fonn an accession to the resources of the Independents, and be sure to fall into their hands, oe thine of Lord ('oehraue, we regret their delay from the shores of the New World. The Foreign Cabinets, we fancy, have had their plan of operations respecting these Colonies sadly disjointed by the proceedinggs of our Ca binet, and the recent declaration from the United States, and may now bid farewell to " all the pride, pomp, and circumstance" of Trans-Atlantic war. The Moaiieur, in its non-official part, also has an important paragraph on the subject of the Constitutional loans. It states, " there is a " report that the loans of the Cortes will be recognized " wide some modification. This recognition (it adds) is " deemed indispensable to maintain credit." Imperious necessity, we all along thought, woukl ultimately compel the unprincipled Ferdinand to recognise these loans; but we shall be much surprised, if any tardy and modified recognition of the sort will now avail, to restore the creditof that degraded tlovernmeht, or succeed in obtaining a new loan, either in this country or France. A scanty supply, to satisfy the craving wants of the Tyrant and his partisans, had ar rived, it appears, in the capita', from Andalusia, on the Isth ; the sum is said to have amounted to about three millions of reals, which was probably supplied chiefly by the Clergy; but will not (as the account adds) pay one-eighth of the pressing demands on the bankrupt Government. 'though the amnesty has been so confidently proclaimed by the Etoilr, as ready for the 30th, its promulgation, even still, appears uncertain. A majority of the Council of Castillo are said to be opposed to it. Addresses also were pouring in _ . from the fanatical party against its concession ; and as Fer dinand's own feelings were known to be opposed to it, it was thought piobeige that the long-expected Deeree would still be withheld, in spite of the remonstrances of the foreign Ministers. Though the war with Spain for some inontlis has closed, we find that 12,000 Spanish prisoners arc yet shut up in the serious " depots" of France—a different fate (as the account from which we take it states) from that which was promised them before Ferdinand quitted Cadis for the French camp. The property of the refugee Spa niards was all under confiscation ; and if any returned *try and avoid beggary to themselves and their families, they were immediately arrested and thrust into dungeons. The pri sons too were still crowded with human tenants, against whom prosecutions were proceeding with the greatest se verity ; all individuals partaking in the slightest degree of liberal opinions were insulted by the furious Serviles in the streets, and dared not quit their homes after the were bus, or evening bell, without the dangers of simassination. A melancholy account, under the head of Marseilles, is given of the deplorable situation of the Spanish officers andsoldiers in France, who, contrary to the capitulation under which they surrendered, arc subject to all the horrors of complete indigence. The refugees of the Faith, previous to the war, were differently Mated. The Spanish officers had ap pealed to the Dugan( of France—the modern Orlando— against this treatment, and the violation of the treaty made by Molitor. This is appealing from Caiaphu to Herod, and will be of little avail. Angouleme has no bawds of compassion for Liberals in distress. The people or Marseilles, much to their credit, had entered into voluntary contributions to relieve the wants of the tm happy Spaniards. What • load of wretchedness and suf fering has not this atrocious war dragged down on Spain aid its people ! But Angouletne has been feasting in Paris, and this ought to content the starving Spaniards. Can they feel want, while the " Hero" of France revels in Parisian luxury Lisbon Papers to the 21st reached our office yesterday. These wretched thiscitts of despotism contain nothing of sly interest from that country, and are occupied with a ling tirade against masonry and its votaries, to whose mysterious influence they impute 1/on Pedro's dynasty in the New World, and the separation from Portugal of the Brasile. A new l'agLoom°, in the person of an individual of the name of sloniz Barrett), is brought for ward, whose gut-up confession of masonry, and all its consequences, is extracted from some wretched rag called the Padre Ammo, said to be printed in a garret of this city, and subsequently circulated through Lisbon. This veritable document is entitled, " A Defence of Citizen .Boininjos Alves Branco Itlonia Barreto (a Dun with five itaines), against an imaginary crime, for which he was unjustly sentenced by the Judge (who has only two names and a half), Francisco de Franca Miranda." As the crime of Citizen Dusninjos is stand to be imaginary, we fancy his confession is pretty much of the same character: both are probably the production of the compiler of the Padre A MAIO. and have no other foundation. The Italian Fag- Lostro, when all his schemes were exhausted, and he was caged by his Holiness the Pope, in Adrian's Tomb, commonly called the Castle of St. Angelo, made a full amfesisiou of his former practices, and renounced Ina (wary as impious and heretical ; all his crimes, includ ing Lis league with La Motte, and the conspiracy of the diamond necklace, were contritely imputed by him iclely to masonry sal its principle;. The genuine defence ofd the worthy Sitar Monis Barreto imputes, in the ISM way. the independents of Brazil solely to the ‘! Craft." But k is en utter waste of time to comment on such trash an this. It is now plain, without any sort of mystery, masonic st otherwise, that degraded Portugal has lost the Brasile far ever. Her Gazetteers may impute it to " masonry" if they please, but not one stone of the edifice of her former ascendancy remains, end the state " Masons" of Lisbon will never be able to construct it again, let them labour hew they may. They may try to flatter " Don Pedro" by calling him " August Prince," and impute his utifilial die affection to the wiles of this sect, but they " waste their breath in vain." The Brazilian Emperor has enjoyed the ,sweets of power with great complacency, and appears in no dirposition whatever to make any surrender of it to his con sistent father " Don John." The new Austrian Loan, contracted by that despotic Government to discharge, with British money, a small part inked of the monstrous debt due to this country, was brought into circulation in the money market on Wed nesday ; and the terms were announced by the contractors, under which the subscribers are to participate in this new continental bargain. The takers of this loan are all most respectable ; if anything could add to the character of any monied engagement, their names and well-earned influence would do so : but we are opposed to the principle of these new contracts altogether. Amid the multitude of foreign loans contracted of late years, this is the only ono whose produce is likely to remain in this country : millions be side have been contributed here, never, we fear, to return. The present debt of the House of Hapsburgh-Lorraine to 'Cheat Britain, principal and interest, amounts, we believe, to near twenty millions sterling (an immense sum, even in this age) ; and out of this, with the enormous possessions of this rapacious power, and the plunder of Italy in her hands, she generously consents to pay, with the money of our own contributors, about one-eighth of her entire debt! and even this concession bas been I wrung from the Vienna Cabinet by slow degrees, and with great difficulty. Yet the money was advanced to Austria when she was fighting in Italy and Carinthia for 'actual existence—when her veteran warrior, Wurmier, whose head was bleached by sixty campaigns, was defeated ,sad captive at Mantua—when Alvinai, with his forces, was destroyed—when a great part of the hereditary pos sessions of Austria were in the power of her active and determined enemy, and the then youthful Napoleon was advancing through Styria and Carniola rapidly on the the t'of which as o nly saved by the radical, roccupa ron w hasty preliMinaries of Leoben. It was then—neat thirty years since—a considerable portion of this loan was ad vanc d by Mr. Pitt; and at the close of eight years of pro found peace, Austria, glutted with possessions and plunder, reluctantly comes forward to repay two millions and a half Aif this debt with our own money. Why has she not dedi lestei the revenues of oppressed Lombardy—every sequin of which is sent off to Vienna—for this purpose? At the gates of every town through the Milanese, as we ourselves have witnessed, ht .r douaniers are stationed, who exact a tribute from even a basket of eggs. The revenues of Italy went all expended by Napoleon on the country, as his vast and imperishable works will testify to long-succeeding ages. Austria drains its resources with a rapacious hand, and transmits every ducat to Vienna. Far frees skewing any gratitude for our assistance, its Cabinet has • proscribed British trade in every possible way, and fettetstlit by - the most proscriptive tuifs. The facility with which feaslgn loans to an immense amount have latterly been bad in this country, we confess, surprises us ; doubly so, iiken we con sider the teal disposition and feelings of diorneers of the Continent to Great Britain. The geetritilnlicemeni for embarking capital in this carrel ways `tits' in creased rate of interest ; but what security would there be for the discharge of a single shilling, prinei psi or interest, of these loans, if the uncertain: ~and hollow peace that now exists were dispelled to-tnerrow ? Then powers--Austria. Repots, Prussia and Fraser— ate bound together, by an express and understood league, against the greatness and Institutions of this country. They would sound the trumpet of hostility to-morrow, ;f their resources were commensurate with their inclination. The feeling that prevails through their Cabinets is nolo rions ;—tbe least observant traveller has remarked and re corded it. The poverty of the three confederated Powers is the only check that controls them : why then should they be supplied with resources by us? Why, with our bow -1 ledge of their disposition, should we furnish them with money and weapons that will yet be assuredly employed against ourselves? ltussia would have poured her bar barous hordes into the Turkish provinces twelve months since, hail she funds to supply them, or been able to pay the Jews of Poland for their contracts. Austria, also, looks for a share of this rich booty ; and both are now quiescent only from want of means. Prussia, notwith standing its family affinity, looks with an avaricious eye to Hanover, where she will match ,her armies on the first rupture. As to Frame, .the return of the Bourbons bas done nothing to ditnitrish the old hereditary enmity, if that country; and she only wants a navy to powies!at once on Cuba and the shores of Scattit AtueritSPl'Naples, too, is dependent on the nod of Austria; and Denmark, to whom we slso lent money; would probably join the northern lagers The pence now existing through the Continent is, therefore, a hollow and uncertain one: its only stay is present necessity ; it kr, like the forty der' rest front war and murder between the feudal berms of former days, which interposing churchmen obtained, and which was then called " the truce of God !" when the parties rested on their weapons only to obtain strength far new encounters. There is no man of any observation, who has been on the Continent lately, who is not con vinced the elements of hostility to this country are fast gathering. Should a war break out, what becomes of our loans? They will dissolve away— .. And, like the baseless fabric of a vision, " Leave not a wreck behind." The affairs of Ireland, it is likely, will come under dis cussion early in the ensuing Session of Parliament; when we shall hope to see such measures adopted as may tend to heal the divisions, and alleviate the condition, of that ill fated portion of the United Kingdom. There is no neces sity to waste time in lung and laboured inquiry into the can.a•s of the miseries which atTliet it. The causes are well known. The meuuns by which they might be re moot are well known also. What then are the obstacles, it will be asked, that stand in the way of their application? To what an interesting disclosure would an honest answer to this question lead ! It is in the practical application of the principles of reform in Ireland, that the whole diffi culty lies. Emancipate the Catholics, we would say, from the political disabilities to which you subject them, and which arc alike at war with Christianity and with com mon sense. In an ir.stant the patriarchs of the Irish peerage arc in alarm : the 0, Mottos sinecnrists can never, with pa lend their apostolic ear to Catholic Claims. The leading families of the Orange faction must have their em- pre of influence" one and indivisibie j" they can &kr no unhallowed band to strike the rock from whence gush sal the sprhigs of patronage. In all this, Ireland ii still governed by the enlightened opinions of the tenth ree ntry. But will this party never be convinced, that it is most unsafe, at this time of day, to set the dictates of reason and the demands of justice at defiance? Can they foolishly fancy themselves safe, while the great ma jority are rattling their chain, in their ears, and whetting in their very sight the weapons of vengeance? They may depend upon it that the interests of the community will at last find their level, and that a Government which has not these interests for its ground-work, has no real security for that allegiance on which alone it can stand. The Manners, the Bridgwater:, all the aristocratic leaders that engross the influence of Government and the dis penuat!ons of office—these will be in open rebellion against the restoration of the mass of their fellow-subjects in Ireland, to their just and equal rights. But we concur in sentiment completely with Peter Plynaley, when, in one a l his shrewd and sensible letters to his Brother Abraham:, he' says—" To a short period of disaffection among the Orangemen I confine 1 should not much object; my love of poetical jnstice does carry me as far as that . : one mum mer's whipping—only one; the thumb-screw for a short season ; a little light easy torturing between Lady-day and Michaelmas. I have malice enough to ask this slight atonetnent for the groans and shrieks of the poor Catholics, unheard by any human tribunal, but registered by the Angel of God against their trotestant and enlightened op . When the whole influence and patronage of Govern ment becomes, ms in Ireland the patrimony of a particular elate, the natural and inc4itable consequence is, and al ways will be, that jobs and tithes of every kind will pre vail, and will multiply beyond measure; justice will be defrauded everywhere, and thecharacter of the nation dis honoured ; places will be created, not according to the ne cessities of those who are governed, but of those who go vern. The latter have no other object than the providing for their own supremacy ; they have none whom they care to conciliate or to gratify, but their own friends and their own paity. Corruption everywhere fixes its eye upon its objects and iti instruments ; and the shortest mathe matical line so teach them is the course which it naturally pursues. But this course must one day haves* end. Op pression is not the end for which power was conferred. You have no right to provoke the prejudices of four-fifths of the people of Ireland, and then to pass penal statutes to keep down the tosentesent you exile. You have no right, first to trample on the mystic epithet of their faith, and then bring . out the powliarauu t litts of your authority to quiet their fury. •• , 1.

MARSEtLLgs, Dec. 23. A Commissary of Police has given an order to all the Spaniards hue to repair to Alamein within three days. The greater number bare already set sot. When there are any now arrivals the same order is given and the same destination pointed out. This mesons is not confined to the military and the refugees; It refers to Spaniards who come here, no matter from what quarter. The 6th allele of the capitulation conch ide& between the French Generals and the Spaniards for the surrender of Cordoning& is, that soldiers and others who wish to absent themselves from Spain fee any length of time, shall receive passports foe that per pose. The last day of obtaining these passports will be the 31st c next January.

Therefugeer draw, amongst whom were many of asuperior rank, and who were lowed by their wives and ch:ltiren, were reduced to the necessity travelling with resources which were not su ff icient to satisfy their most urgent wants. The young people of Marseilles, at the of being the objects of new calumnies, wished to ameliorate s much as possible their deplorable situation ; they made a collec tion, the product of which they divided amongst those who were going, and they made every effort to equip those who were deed ; they vied with each other in furnishing them with linen, clothes, shoes, etc. to protect the unfortunates hom the severity of the season. If they cannot utterly remove their calamities, they have ..t least the satifaction of mitigating it, and of giving --- proola of the humane and hospitable character which has ever ftrashed the French. We are assured thct the Spanish (hermit' have addressed themselves to the Duke of Angouleme, to ask r' him the strict performance of the capitulation appro ved of Marshal 3lolitor, in consequence of authority given him for purpose by his Highness. The Spaniards, full of confidence in the honour of the Prince, hope that he will confirm their claims, and give them the assist ance promised them by the fith snide of the above.rnentionr' treaty. It cannot be doubted that tie demands of the be assented to, when the hospitable treatment ex by sefugees of the Faith, before the war, is recollected.
