'LEM QUIS PICERE FALSLIN AUDEAT LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 3, 1823 The intemperate an V reno l t d disgusti ng v i o l ence of the Chambe r of Deputies, during the discus. lion of the project for granting the War Credit of 4 hundred t nousl which has b een so tumul y interrupted by the fu r i ous zea l of the Ultras against M. MANUEL, is strongly contrast- I d by the digni fi ed patriotism, the noble comp°. e s4re ) and the wise unanimity of the Spanish °ll es, in the discussions which have been ren ,:ered necessary by the critical circumstances of krtuCountry, the res u lt o f w hi c h involves the i t 4 II ") the hon our , per h aps the lives, of the —"ln bers of the Cortes, as individuals, as well, as the 'preservation of the', national independence and the security of the Constitution. Never were the principles or the fortitude of auy body of men subjected' to n more severe trial ; and never have the unconquerable firmness of public virtue, the' calm and deliberate characters of political wisdom and integrity, been more honour. ably manifested, than by the Representatives of the Spanish nation, throughout that arduous period of their legislative labours which has just been terminated, and which has well entitled them to the appellation of ILLUSTRIOUS. Talk of " moral contagion" indeed ! While the scenes that have been exhibited in the French Chamber reflect in delible disgrace upon that body itself, and are only calculated to exc it e correspon di ng feelings of disunion and violence in the French nation, and the aversion and contempt of surrounding states, the Cortes of Spain has presented a spec. tacle which ought to have the , effect of uniting all Spaniards for the defence of their country,— which entitles it, to the respect and admiration of civilized nations,—and indeed justly deserves to be regarded as an example for the le gislature of every free people in the world ! Which is most worthy of the respect of Europe, and of the veneration and confidence of the na tion in which it exists,—which is the " nuisance that ought to be abated,"—the dignified Cortes of Madrid,—or the riotous, assembly to which the functions of legislation have been committed at Paris ! Spain indeed has been the theatre of physi cal evils, chiefly engendered within her bosom by a poisonous foreign influence; but it is in France itself- that the moral contagion appears to rage with a destructive fury,—and it is there, rather than in Spain, that new institutions seem to be required, more in accordance with the interests of the people, and with the spirit of the age than those of which France is at preseut possessed ! Yet. it is Spain that is exposed to danger, while France is preparing to triumph over the ruins of Spanish liberty. But the Spaniards have just es caped one imminent peril, prepared for them by their domestic enemies, which we trust is an earnest that their good genius will carry them with triumph through the iniquitous foreign conflict into which - they are about to be forced. The Session of the Extraordinary Cortes having terminated on the kith of Febru ary, the KING, on the following day, suddenly DISMISSED Ills MINISTERS ! It is'not our wish to speak of the motives or the object of this pro ceeding, at the first moment of the interval be tween the Sittings of the Extraordinary and the Ordinary Cortes! it is sufficient that the burst of public opinion which instantly followed the event, induced the KING to reinstate the Mini- sters ON TUE SAME melee ! If there, was any design, therefore, to paralyse the measures which are in progress for the defence of the country, and to deliver it up defenceless to the French invading army, that design has been frustrated ! We trust that our own Government has not been calculating on any unconstitutional mea sures being adopted in Spain, for the pa r _- pose of preventing a war. We are quite cer tain that it.would view, not only with horror; but with alarm, any . proceeding which was like ly, if a war dons take place, to insure a success ful issue for France. On the contrary, we can assure our Readers, that several measures are in progress which indicate that Great Bri tain is preparing to take part in the contest, if it' should be unavoidable ;—and what that part will be, it is needless to specify, after the ex plicit declarations which have been made by Ministers themselves. Amongst the measures al luded to are those which are necessary for putting the i iirtilloy force in a state of efficiency; and it is believed that there is an intention to call out im mediately the militia—a step which will of course render the whole of the regular mili tary force of the country disposable; Eng land, therefore, -is ready to resi, not to facilitate, the execution of the designs st of France upon the Spanish Peninsula! But still, the pri vete letters from Madrid, all concur in re presenting the dissatisfaction which universally prevails there at the conduct of the English Minister pit the Spanish Court. It is said, that the tenor of Isis instructions was known and spoken of publicly at Lisbon, early in the last month, as has been noticed in the recent French Papers. If he has been directed to de clare to the Spanish Government, that it is the wish of the British Court that Spain should consent to a modification of her Constitution, in order to pacify the French, such an Intl- Illation, though' it may have proceeded from an intense anxiety for the preservation of peace, would be, under all the circumstances of the Spanish question, highly discredittsble to the Bri tish Government.

The English Ultras are' using every effort to counteract the measures of Lord LIVERPOOL and Mr. CANNING, and the recent news from Madrid has so raised their hopes of a successful oppo. sition to them, that they have ever began to speak openly'of their strength, and of the line of conduct which they mean to pursue under the present circumstances of the country. We for bear at present'from saying more on the subject, but shall shortly resume it. . . It was. rumoured . last night, and indeed the report was hawked about yesterdaTevening at the West End of the town, in some newspapers, that the King. of Semis; had been deposed. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK EXCHANGE . , Half-past 7'zoclCe o'Clock— T,he Spanish and French information has caused a. grMt bustle in the city this morning. Two or three 'good purchasers appeared. in the above 51drket which was the cause of Consols getting up. It is the opinion that MANUEL'S firm per severance in the Chamber of Deputies at Paris, and the manner in which the populace received him, will cause the French Government to pause a little before they enter Spain, as well as .the energetic measures of the Cortes at Madrid, which cause a general opinion in the city that war with Spain will not take place so soon as was at first apprehended. Consols opened at 721 4 I, were done at 731, went down again to 794. The price of the French Funds at Paris on Sunday is already known. FOREIGN MARKET,There was a great buctle n the above*Market ; but not much doing. THE KlNG,—(Brighlon, March 2.)---The KING contiuues to enjoy good health,--The Duke of YORK took a carriage airing on Friday, and was s e v era l h ours on horseback before dinner, yesterday.—Th e answer to enquiries at the Palace, to learn the state of health of the Com mander in Chief is—" His Royal Highness. is well ; but yet fuels weakness owing to his late indisposition." CAPTAIN PARRY'S EXPEDITION.—It is strange thlst several of the , Country Papers insert the recent erroneous account of this intresting Expediti on , t h oug h we have contradictede it from the highest nuthority,and asserted that no account has bees; .or can. be received for mouth's to come. MR. O'MEARA.--This Gentleman has pub. lisped an Answer to the Charges in The Quarterly Review in a Morning Paper of this day, which, so far as relates to the causes of his dismission from the Army and Navy, in som e degree appears t o h e satisfactory. B u t h ow will he get over the difficulty of reconciling his " holding with the hare mid Too tling with the hound," while at St. Helena, in re. vealing the secrets of the BUONAPARTE9 to Sir HUDSON LOWE, ill order to court his favour, though he was at the same time concurring in all th e com pl a i nts made against the Gover nor by NAPOLEON and his Cortege . 2 How will he also reconcile his private abuse of Mort. THOLIN ) &c. with the high eulogiums which he passes on the Count iu his printed work? O'MEARA. has shown the same inconsistency in his letter of this day, for he affects to throw cen sure and ridicule upon Mr. CROKEIt in one part, but in another he says " the reader need scarcely he apprised that when Mr. J. W. CROKER acts, he is directed by higher Powers." Why then does he appear to condemn Mr. CROKER for obey ing the orders of his official superiors ? The Spanish Ambassador has contracted with one Manufactory only for the supply of Twenty Thousand Barrels of. Gun Powder, which are to be shipped for the Spanish Army with the least possible delay. A vessel left the river on Satur. day with Five Thousand Stand of Arms on board, which are intended to be landed at Corunna. This is the second export of arms for Spain within a very short period. The Duke of WELLINGTON is on a visit to the KING at Brighton. The Pincess of KENT, the daughter of the Duchess of KENT, is at remarkably tine interesting; child, Her Royal Highness will complete her fourth year in May n ext . The Princess speaks the German, as well as the English lan guage, remarkably well.

TUE .ARTS.----To the honour of the Medical Profession, and the friends of humanity, Mr. NORTUCOTE is employed in making copies of his fine portrait of that great ornament of the 'human race, Dr. JENNER. The same Artist will in crease his high reputation by an admirable Picture of The miraculous draught of Fishes. The Figure of Outt 'SAYIOUR, in particular, seems to be tou c h e d w i t h a hall owe d pencil, and the whole is worthy of the awful subject. Mr. YANDENUOPP, who certainly did not ex . perience the reception which his talents deserved in the metropolis, is performing with success in Edinburgh. He is a very judicious actor, and enters with strong feeling into the meaning of his author.

It has been stated that Mr. RALPH A HERNXTII Y, the north country pedestrian, sta rte d at t h ree o ' clock on Friday after noon, to go on foot from Oxford-road, to the fifty-sixth mile stone on the Gloucester-road, and return in twenty.eight hours. The umpire upon the occasion has furnished our informant with the particulars of one of the greatest travelling feats ever before recorded. The pedestrian started at the rate of six miles an hour, accompanied by one horseman only, to keep incog. us much as -possible . Ile went through U xbridge, a quarter before six o'clock (fifteen miles), and he stopped and. refreshed at twenty-five miles at forty minutes past !revel o'clock, and ate a chicken. Ile halted two hours, at forty-five miles, and did half the distance in thirteen hours twelve mi.- nutes, and returned to his quarters at the forty-five miles at a quarter before six on Saturday morning. After being well rubbed, he went to bed, and started again at e i g h t n u tolerably well. He did the next thirteen miles in three hours, and beat time so as to l eave him nine miles for the la st three hours, which was the worst part of the match:— He ~ won, by extraordinary perseverance, with four minutes to spare, nearly blind with fatigue. We repeat, it is tiro greateit thing accomplished on pedestrian record. The Turf is about to experience a severe loss, in the seces sion of the Earl of 3tinnfon:l anti iVarrington.

THE ROYAL. NAVY. PORTSMOUTU, MARCII 1.--. We hear that Lord Exstoura has made a most zealous °fret of his services to command a Squadron of Observation, in which he hopes his rank may not be a hindrance ; as, however few the ships may be, he should think it no derogation to hold the appoint ment. This is so ch ara C ter i st i c of his Lordship, that we believe it to be true.,His ajesty's ship Active. of 46 guns, Captain 'Andrew • King, arrived this day from Jamaica, Vera Crui, and the Havannah—twenty-seven days from the latter place. She has bimight a small quantity of treasure on merchants' account, and some invalids from the squadron. Among the. latter are Lieutenant Corbet, Royal Navy, late Surinam, and Lieutenant Whiting, of the Royal Marines, late of the Hy perion. When the Active left Jamaica the squadron was healthy. She remained a month at the. Ilavannah, during which but very few acts of piracy had been committed, though it was not considered safe for merchant vessels to sail without a convoy. Two merchantmen, the Olive Branch, bound to Jar sey, and the Lovely Maria. for London, left the Havanrah in company with the Active. Mr. elloary, of the Speedwell , dwell tender had been promot e d b y R ear -Admiral Sir Charles Rowloy, and appointed to the Sur inam , i n t h e room of Lieut. Corbet. • His Majesty's ship Briton, 46 guns,_ Capt. Sir M urray Max well, C.B. 'B o r d ere d to b e fitted for a foreign station. The Conway, 46 guns, Capt.

A fine male Panther has also been landed front her, anti sent off to Sir Ro bert Heron. The Con way sailed this morning for Chatham, to be paid off, • and the Cameleon for Sheerness, to bring round men for the Pandora. Captain Charles Strangways is appointed to command the Clio, 18-gun sloop, just commissioned at, Chatham Mr. George Poivlett is appointed Purser of th e Parthiam Capt. Clavering (late Pheasant) is appointed to the Griper aloop.ofwar,:fitttotx.at.Deptfortia-aind Mr. Join' Marebsot is ippointed Purser of her. Recruiting Parties have been sent out, for the purpose of raising men to complete the corps of Royal Marines to the number resently voted by the House of Commons. About 702 men will bo required for that purpose. It is expe cted that a British squad ron o f o b servation will be fitted out, in the event of hostili;-ies between France and Spain. Arrived on Sunday last, the Pandora sloop of war, Captain Win. Gordon, from Sheerness, with volunteer seamen for ships fitting at this port. The Heron, J 8 gun sloop, Capt. Greville, came into harbour on Tuesday, to be paid ofr, and laid up in ordinary. On Wednesday, the Ringdove, 18 gun sloop, Captain G. F. Rich, sailed for the fl'est - India station taking dispatches for Ilear.Adiuiral Sir Charles Rowley, and Commodore Sir Edw. Owen. Then Harrier, and Rifleman,. 18 gun sloopt, have been brought down the harbour, to be prepared for commission. The . Egeria, 24 guns, Capt. S.
