meat to the Constitutional Gove►nttment, nor from uowillingnew to hazard life and property in the cause of stational independence. The causes of that subjugation must be attribsted to the nits %misspent and tardy conduct of the executive in every thing connect'd with the war department ; to ionipaissaty of supporting the fatigues of obstinate midst*: to his despondency under the reverses of file threats of the Allies, and the procla mations of your Majesty, although his loya)ty, patriotism, and attachment to the national honour 'ate unquestionable; finally. to his declining to re tire into Calabria, and completely abandoning its one day the notion and its resources to the enemy. Had it uot been for all three circumstances, the nation 'would have koown how to defend itself, in spite of the errors that had been committed, and notwith standing the disbanding of hoth corps of the army. It is therefore most falsely that the Ministers at I.aybach wished to attribute the easy and rapid •wwcceases of the Austrians to the total want of at sliehoieut in the Neapolitans to the Constitutional Gmteroment. Dots the disbanding of Prince !p -igtail's army prove that the Greeks are indifferent to their emancipation from the Ottoman yoke ? If, Si►e, it be true, eta has beers asserted in several • journals, that the nation was not at all desirous of II constitution—as the •moll number of those who licocleinsed it are now in prisnu or in exile—why no not the Austrian troops evacuate the kingdom, oust allow your Majesty to reign peaceably over the tiebollotioti of the Two Sicilie., who idolize the absolute " paternal Government ?"

Public opinion has been *ktionely manifrsted against them. Those who were Irolit forward and active among them have been taken the authorities and the inhabitants. Their : 1 orts may now be regarded as terminated. for the , troops which left Vitioria have returned to that lace, and General Lopez is expected this evening at Ps head-quarters at St. Sebastiau. The last e ff o rt :.„ 1 . these wretched men, who have been misled by • perfidious counsels, was this day made at Bert. Their intention was to get possession of the post of • the Spanish Custom-house, but they were vigorously repulsed by the Hammier., at the head of whom Was M. loirbaraniendy, formerly one of Mina's of . &ere. They had several killed and wounded.— Pive or six of the latter, of whom two are Curate., hive gone into the French Lazaretto of Behovie. in older .to withdraw themselves from the inevitable fate which awaits them in their own country. MADRID, DECEMBER 24. The news from the interior is not satisfactory foe the persons who love tranquillity. Cadiz, Seville, Campus, Caritidgena, Murcia, .atc., are still in • state of disobedience tower& the Government s which is nut a good example ; but it is probable that every thick will be tranquillized by the die. . missal of the Ministry. This change, which may soon be expected, is absolutely necessary for the interests both of the throne and the nation. The Benedictine Monk, Mauro Iglesia, one of . Merino's officers, has been executed at Burgos. He ~resisted almost to the last the offers of the Bishop to administer religious consolation to him, bemoan lie had persuaded hicuself that the people would steliver . MURCIA, DECEMBER 18. The day before yesterday the population of tbiv city and the troops of the gurrivoil publicly ea presoid the desire which they have lung cherished to imitate the conduct of the inhabitants of Carib*. Kerte, in refusing to obey the orders of the presoot Alinistry. 'A commission was appointed by the people, foe t::e.-purpose of suakiug known this deteraiiiistiamto Oa- Authorities, who met the inhabitants and rem made, acquainted with this intention. The Geyer. war. the Bishop, and the General commanding the province, accompanied by two battalions of the local militia, two battalions of the line, the provin cial battalion of Malaga, the Garda Costa, and an immense multitude. proceeded to the Plaza tie la Coristitucion, and there, amidst viva for the Con stitution and constitutional King, vowed the downs fell of the Ministry. There was not for a wooers the slightest disorder. An Address was drawn asp to the Cortes, to give an account of this event ; and• a courier was dispatched to Carthagetia to announce to that city that Murcia acceded to the Confedetss tan of Cadiz, Seville, Corium*, and Carthagena. SHAMA, DECEMBER 25, [EXTRACT OI • MUTATE LITTER.] I send you an account of a little affair which made a bustle here last night. The Curate Gue tale, who was formerly a Guerilla Captain, having renounced his clerical functions, and collected rt ! DU mbar of banditti, made his appearance in the'dilW. triet of Bi I lama yesterday. He ordered the Alcalde. 1 - to furnish him with forty rstious of provisions, soil to assemble 200 man neat day, either voluntarily dv by force. The Alcilde replied, that he should be p'inetually obeyed ; but immediately dispatched U. courier to our Political Chief, with an account whit had happened. As soon as the news was known, a considerable stir was observed among our anti constitutionalists. In the lime mean time the draw. • .bddge.iu front of the arsenal was raised; the MI.. lithe assembled voluntarily, the most active part peoc.r'eding to reconnoitre, while the rest guarded she arsenal. The horse-guards bivouacked in the rims de Is Coustitucion. and afterwards proceeded . to the powder-works, situated about a league hence. near the moiniatery of the Desert, and gr . rived in time to prevent the banditti from geitnig possession of that establiehinent.

The Insurgents in the north-east of Spain, Who affect to call themselves Royalists, and the champions of the Church and the KING, have been encountered by the KING'S troops and defeated. A party of them was driven upon the French cor. don of health, where they were ►ether severely handled. These disturbers are organised by monks and churchmen, who, to say the truth, have no cause to love un order of !Mugs which has deprived them of the means of their ordinary indulgences. It must be admitted that the KING endures their present hostility to the constitution with a forbear ance truly parental. If the rioters in the south . ern States, who ►efuse io obey the Royal authority if exercised by the present Ministers, were to take up arms and appear in the field to an amount not nearly so formidable as this " Army of the Faith" is represented to be, we • should instantly hear of a Royal Message to the Cortes, deploring the ca. !amities of the Peninsula, and exhorting the asseosbly to adopt vigorous measures for preserving the integrity of the constitution. For our own parts we must confess that we ever doubted the sin eerily of FEantu•sio, and this suspicion leads us, whenever we read of a " Royalist" insurrection, to believe that the rebels are well assured that their at. tempt receives in private the full meed of Royal upprobatios. • The intelligence from the East is of a far less warlike character than we have been for some time. accustomed to receive. It is repeated with increas ed confidence, that in consequence of the exertions of the Elm:year) Ambassador% especially those of Great Britain and Austria, the Ottoman Porte has been induced to signify its tardy acceptance of the Russian uhi►aotans. It is, however, to be observed, that al.hough this piece of information comes to us from various quarters, it is still but a repetition of the one tale, which might have had its origin in Vienna for some mercantile or other speculative purpose, and having been thence diffused to every part of the world, it meets us now in different ver sions, varying according to the character of the several mediums through which it has been trans mitted. There is added to the report in the Quoiidiersne a further staiernent, that the Grand Seignior, apprehensive of the ill effects which •tiro decision of his Government in this particular might . have upon the Janissaries, • had caused a Manifesto to be published for the purpose of appeasing these . banditti. An Evening Treasury Print, sivlsyse notions of Science and political economy hive never brew very remarkable for their wisdom, begins to talk about • renewal of the Property Tax as st measure highly bentficid—not merely to the retainers of the Tresisury, but actually to the coniinunity at Large 1 This writer too has the hardihood to assert that he is thoroughly convinced, from all Isis " iss. gullies upon the subject, that sui.li a 4iaaacial tuctsure, if it were proposed, vtuuld writ 0b..4b,a1- most ansnimous rapport from the coaatry." This INP conjecture is the some writer whose grievous sins against common sense provoked the mildness even of Mr. VANSMAIT'S temper tome time since to denounce him in the House of Commons, and to put the public upon their guard against sup posing that upon matters of finance his nooions had any thing in common with those of the CHAN ceLLoa of the EXCHEQUER. The recollection of the very 'wholesome though severe chastisement which the Courier then received from Mr. VAN. SMART, prevents us now, ■ud no doubt it will hare the same influence upon the general readers of that Piper, from supposing that In the present instance he writes under instructions. We must admit, however, that the notion of relieving the distresses of the country by imposing • Property Tax, is worthy of the profound policy of the pre sent Ministers. It is not very difficult to imagine the extent of the circle within which the writer in the Courier has made " his inquiries," if indeed he ever made any, respecting the advsntsges of the tax and its presumed popularity. There is not a man in the civil depertmenti of the• Government, or one seeking for employment, who would not tell him thit a Property Ts: offered the most effrctual means of siring the country. But assuredly it is not at ■ moment like the present, when we are 'hewn so annual revenue of more than 50 millions. with a promise of further increase, that we should be told of the expediency of adopting the terrific plan of enlarging the sphere of taxation, and of heaping upon the shoulders of au overburdened nation a system of impost the most odious iu its nature ■nd the most oppressive in its effects that could be possibly devised. Upon the subject of onr financial system, a Paper of yesterday morning, with an affectation of mystery not very unusual in its column►, insi nuates that some plan is in contemplation which, if the reports be true, will give the public creditor great cause to complain. This very same plan has, to the best of our knowledge and belief, been in contemplation—if the reports in the same Paper were true—every year, at least since the return of peace, preparatory to the developement of the ex penditure dud the ways and means of the year. It is a kind of periodical ►umour which visits us about Christmas, or the beginning of the new year, and has at length acquired all the in veteracy of • chronic malady. That there is as little foundation for the assertion now as on any former period we entertain not a shadow of doubt. The faith of the Government it too deeply pledged to justify any suspicions that a measure will originate with the Ministers for re ducing the rate of interest without a compensation to the holder of public stock; and we may remem ber that when in the Session of Parliament before the last some Member, of the House of Commons very itjudiciotoly started such a proposition, it was indignantly scouted by the majority of the members present. The Addrem.of the Farming Society of Ireland I• the Marquis W ELL/WILEY, and his bold ship's answer, are given in our extracts from the Dublin Papers. The hitter document derives peculiar interest from the light which it throws upon his Excellency's future government. His first public document cannot be considered as com mon place: it may be presumed to have been pre.. pared with care, and that the principles which it professes are those which he is resolved to maintain. it is therefore satisfactory to find him declare that it is not less his inclination than his bounden duty to give every aid tO the Progress of "that wise and necessary system of general retrenchment which has been adopted by his Majesty's Government and by Parliament, and which is as essential to the true dignity of the Crown, as necessary for the security •of the State, and for the interest and welfare of the people." This pledge would have been still more satisfactory were the system of retrenchment more general. The retrenchment adopted by Govern ment would be more complete . if it extended to the heads of office, and the salaries of great place•hold era were reduced in the same proportion with those of their inferiors. The Freeman's Journal, in its comments upon the answer to the Addre►s, says— " Let means not incompatible with the laudable economy now enforced be suggested for extending and perfecting Our agricultural knowledge--let landlords be taught, if they have not already learned, that their true interests must consist not in the nominal amount of their rent-roll, hut in the 'Wu , sion of comforts among their tenantry through the medium of moderate rents—let the impoverished cultivutor of the ►oil be relieved fiona th e h 66666 ing annoyance of tithe farmers and ecclesiastical pinta— let the laws be enforced by eu upright and active Magistrscy and au rfbeient police—end let a good system of moral education he diffused amongst the poor, slid we cannot hesitate to Ull bwering for the permanent tranquillity and future prosperity of Ireland. We trust it has been reserved for the Noble Marquis to accomplish a " consum mation so devoutly to be wished." We cannot but augur favourably both from his well-established character as a statesman, and from the responsibility under which he lies to his KING and his country. The dark clouds we trust are dispersing, and the dawn of happiiiesa and peace about to open upon Ireland." _ .

The Vienna Papers of the 26th December do not say any thing of the lins.issi uhimatrm having been accepted. But this silence is not surprising, as that intelligence did not arrive at Vienna till the night of the 25th or 26th. From the estafette who brought it here, we also learned that Prince Met ternich had received a letter from Constantinople, stating that the Persians had made peace with the Porte. DaacEt.osti, DECEMBER 25. In the evening of the 16th the greatest disorder prevailed at Murcia ; the populace and the garri • son, it is said, have united, and declared that they will follow the example of Cadiz, Seville, &c. They have in consequence sworn not to obey al l order of the Administration, and that they will fly to the defence of any province which should be at. tached or menaced by ministerial despotism. A courier was immediately dispatched to Carthagena to announce this determination, and to desire that Murcia might be included in its confederacy. THE BRITISH PRESS. lIMs dies.
