The Report is now pub lished in the form of a pamphlet (together with the additional facts, also submitted by the, same Gentleman to the Committee), and we have no doubt a perusal , of it will create general interest in favour of the brave and suffering peOple who aro the objects of the author's solicitude. It is written in a pleasing style, and contains so much useful information re spectine the present situation of Greece, that it must command attention even from those (if any indeed can be found) who feel indifference as to the result or the present contest between the Greeks and their ferocious opponents. It is easy to obsehre that Mr. Blaquiere is a most zealous and able advocate for the cause of the Greeks ; but his zeal does not appear to lead , him into the slightest departure from plain facts. The he gives in a manner which, almost intrin sically, proves their accuracy. His conclusions are offered distinctly from his facts ; so that the reader is always enabled , to agree with, or dissent from the conclusions of his Author upon the lame circumstances do which they both proceed. We repeat that, as a work containing local inforrna lion alone, this Report is well worthy u public notice ; but when we connect it with the cause in support of 'which it is put forth, we cannot but heartily wish for its extensive circulation, being convinced that that circulation will not fall to promote that sacred cause.

The French Division command ed by the Baron de Damns took possession of the fortress on the morning of Monday the 29th. It is probable that information Of this event would have reached Paris •a day or two earlier, had the at-( mosphere been clear; but we learn by our Private'• correspondence, that on Monday, Tuesday, and Wecit*itlay last,:tbe air wail 50 thick 'and foggy near, Paris that the Telegraph could not work.

Other reports were, that Badajoz had opened its gates to the Royalists, and that the Revolutionary General Lopez Banos bud submitted to the 14..1 gency. The great , probability that these events I must Soon take place, may have caused their real occurrence to be anticipated; but we do not believe that any authentic advices to that effect had reached Paris on Thursday morning ; certainly on Wednesday evening, when the Runes closed at - 90 f. 40c. The last month has . been marked with events completely decisive of the 'Revolutionary cause—the Troca. dero and Fort‘St. Peri have been taken; the hero of the Revolution, has been taken pri soner, and his whole army annihilated; 2,000 Spaniards laid down their arms on the 16th ult. in Catalonia; and, 'finally, the important for trowel; of Santona, Pampelnna, St. : Sebamtian's, and Figueraa, have all surrendered I—What chance what shadow of a chance, is there left to the Revoiutionary cause 2 MOANING,FIERALD.] Papers and Aetters ofVednesclay and Thurs day were received yesterday from Paris.

T ‘ he - Regents and their. partisans appeared to thirst. for the blood of - 'liege, with whicii, most probably, they will be gratified,-as there ismo lougetreason tolloubt his baing given up to the Spanish Authorities. A version of his capture is ..put forth in the French Papers, evidently with the view to represents him as a prisoner, not of the. French, but of the Spaniards of the Faith. Th e story- al together is like a bad melodratne—not only un . true, but improbable. Some of the French Jour. nals eontinue to exhibit the Regency. and thtz Chiefs of the French army as at variance; Marshal Oudinot, Duke of lteggio, who coin mends, the first division occupying liaclrld, stated to be so disgusted with their Itighnesses x as to wish for and solicit his recall. The for, lrecognized by Commissioners duly authorized from the King of Spain, before he had re moved from Madrid. The two parties might split afterwards upon the final conditions of the ! peace ' and go to war again ; but each has recog- Inized the other as .a substantive Power, compe tent to treat, hy the undeniable fact that they Nye treated together, and concluded a conven tion.. Should the French succeed, therefore, in obtaining possession of King Ferdinand's person, they never surely could be dishonourable enough to prevent him from ratifying this convention, in order that they might attempt to seize one of the provinces no longer his to give. The next document, being a supplement to the preceding, is the legal authorization of theG overnmentof Buenos Ayres to ratify the before-mentioned convention, and also to admit thereto the other South American States ,Chile, Peru, &c. The last is a law,or a law project, authorizing the Government of Buenos- Ayres to assist the Constitutional Government of Old Spajn with the same sum of money to resist the French invasion, as the two Legisla tive bodies of France had then voted in order to carry it into execution.—The propriety of our appointing Consuls to the late revolted States of South America is proved by the convention now made public, if, indeed, she appointments did not spring from a secret knowledge of the convention. ' tress of Figueras is said to have capitulated. The precise terms are not stated. Lopes Banns is stated to have agreed to a convention in the same terms with that of Ballasteros. But it is only before Cadiz that events of any material interest may be looked for,. An attack seems , hourly impending by '"la rod land ; and it is reite rated, for the Itogfiedth time, that all was consternation in -- Cadiz and the Isla. It is likely, however, that, at least, there repre sentations are, at last, well founded. The treachery or imbecility of the leaders of the Spanish troops, and Governors of some of the fortresses, mu s t have caused confusion and dismay among the besieged, were they even better provided than they are with the moral and erial resoumps of defence. It ap pears from Spanish Journal, published in Cadiz, that the consternation had extended even to the leading Members of the Cortes. They seem divided in opinion on almost every point but the desperate situation to which they are reduced. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [From the Dublin Correspondent.] THE REFORMATION AND MR. COBBETT. PART W. What has England gained by the Reformation ? We have endeavoured to compress answers, which, in any or, dinary development of the Subject, would occupy volumes, into the most brief abstract possible. We have endeavoured to gather a subject of innumerable ramifications and collateral accidents into a few points—in the attempting of which, per. haps, it was impossible to avoid obscurity. Breris CM Wore °lacers:sit . ). In announcing the third volume of Laplace's int_ mortal work, a French man of letters observed as follows t—" It is about two centuries since a man of genius, whose researches had discoveretiand established, by irrefragable proofs, the motion of the earth, was condemned to perpetual imprisonment, as a heretic, by the tribunal of the Inquisition." There wee no ex presspanegyric upon the Reformation intended by M. Blot; yet he could not have delivered any more emphatic. Knowledge would have been heresy all over the world, had not the Refor. nation taken place...and Locke and Newton may have suffer ed as well as Galileo. The event which freed the Itt4Mo4:olnd front such a deadly enemy to knowledge as Roman CO • ,us once was, could not but have brought a full share of ti us. trious dispensations to that country, in which it struck the deepest and the most vigorous roots for the last three centuries. When the spirit which incarcerated the philosopher was beaten down, and the light let in upon its dark and gloomy cloister— liberality,. free inquiry, phil osop hi c i n d uc ti on, and all the othe r " tribes of mind" that are the children of the Reformation, asserted the liberty of intellect. The spirit of the Reformation it expreised in the 1;604 whi c h it produced ; and whatever evils arose while it wail strug gling its way, and chasing down the shades of intellectual darkness, are to be altogether ascribed to Its antagonist powers —to the gloomy age in which this mother of light revealed herself, and to the chaotic principles which wore then ferment. ing in the world. AU the passions were then in arms, and the very worst endeavoured to obstruct the emancipation of religion and reason—happily for .llngland, notwithstanding Air. Cob. butt's complacency to Illonks and Friars, without etrect—un. happily for other countries, with too much. The objects con: templated by the tirstiteforrners, demonstrate Etta vary salience of the Reformation ltalif, they struggled -for their frtedopt against the infallibility of the Popes ; they disavowed all grounds of their belief but the sacred writings; they argued, and rea soned, and fought to overthrow that scholastic divinity, which was the essence and support of the Roman Theology, and which stood between the light and religion and reason. The liberty of thought - was the golden right to which the &forma. don opned the way; and upon that right rests,and mustier ever rest, as a proper and natural basis, the civil liberty of mankind, That liberty of thought was employed in contemplating reli. gion—in establishing the proofs of it—in the interpretation of the Holy Scriptures—in philosophy 'in !science. It had to op.. pose the prodigious array of censures, 'prohibitions, rind ants. tilt:MSS—as well at the active and vigilant inquisitors employed by the Church' of Rome to ekelude light &Om the grind—and this at a period when, -like Galileo': discovery, the establishing of every new truth was an act - of:heresy, was sa critne, for the punishment of which - thepower of the secular, arm was invoked. Let us only reflect on this, end on the consequent exposures of humanity in the sixteenth century—And what shall we think of the intelligence or candour of that .politician by profession, who doubts that England, gained any thing by the Reform. tion P If this immortal event, es we are bound to: consider it, had not flirted its way through all its restraining impe. diments—if the art of printing had not ,given stability to its conquests over .ignorance anti , superstition—if the gigantic despotism which `lorded it over fettered minds - rind enslaved conscience*, had not iliad the circle of its tyranny con tracted—what would England be now ? Just what three. fourths of Ireland exhibit—bigutted and poor, fanatic and contentious, in love with fratulv and fables, seduced byttnira des, and deaf and blind to the real ,interests,of country or of liberty—just what the South of Germany appears to our eyo at this day just what Sicily isovhen the wooden .Saints are ex. hibited in solemn-ceremony to stop the boiling torrents of lava Issuing from 'Mount 'Xtna. Dlr. Cobbett can see no good in a country'whichhas Acts of its 'Legislature to restrain' seditious works ; but who, before the reformation of ~ E nglend, - dare publish any works in which religion or ,government were die. cussed ? It was at Rome that the first censures of hooks were devised—sold - 411 the .oovernments devoted to' the 'Holy See have scritpulously adhered to the example. was the cele. batted Leo X., whosk munificence and literature have been so much • extolled by some of our liberal; - historians, that, in 1515, promulgated 'severe - reetrictions upon the printing and publishing of books - ,:,translated from the Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic. This wiekilse Pontiff; who, et the. time in which Luther's writings and those of his adherents were with the most terrible Anathemas prohibited front being read, no matter as the subjects of *Web they may treat, 'do not scruple to threaten with excommunication all who should condemn the profanzpoems of Arioeto; or interrupt 'their Circulation. Is this' hill title to the panegyric which he'reeeives 'from some of our-British Literati ? The spirit which prohibited theyeading of ,works written upon any subject; by 'Members of the Refo rme d •Chttrch-sehTeli forbad e t h e tranekting of any works' from 'the Greek, Hebrew, or Arabic languages, yet exints' - inSPainy even to this day, in Italy, and in all the Austrian States, where heavy fetters are imposed on the liberty of writing and thiuking—in Southern Getmany, where the Goverdments are continually re newing the penal regulations against reading-hooks written by heretics, or by,Wital—inlreland, where the power of the it u . man Catholic Clergy t is exerted to prevent the reading of t h e a nd the rev e l at i on h e l i e s mikknown for tire salvation of' his creatures. The spirit of Ca , itself, eb ratheriryti,huganktnhoewylexialigoeultd)riutoolidi.bc; from the sseretl'fount tholieisni is- one thing—the. spirit of the Reformation another.

AN ADDRtSS OR - THANKS TO TILE ILLUSTRIOUB, ENGLYIIHMEN, AND GENEROUS LADIES OF iONDOE, WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE LAWFUL rmuyou AND INDEPENDENCE OF THE SPANISH MONARCHY. Englishmen ! Lovers of Liberty Ladies of London l—Re ceive the homage of thenks which Spanish gratitude offers -to you. Your Meeting of the 13th of last June, and the noble emulation with which your enlightened matrons zealously seek to relieie the wants of our afflicted country, whilst it calls upon us to return yoU our most grateful•thanks, evidently shews to the world that the freemen of all nations constitute only one family. Let those willingly bend their knees before tyrants, who, by converting themselves into slaves, by their acts degrade man. • kind so far as even to drag chains, and spontaneously submit their necks to the yoke of an infamous league. We, in the mean while, disregarding the deceptive splendour of golden chains, faithful to our oath, and immoveable in our resolve, will brave death with glory, rather than allow ourselves to be yoked to the car of infancy. In what, Liberal Britons, does the fatal Alliance of the Despots resemble our sympathetic and beneficent union ? They assemble in order to decree death and exterrnination against the human race; they consider themselves 31inisters of the Almighty, and authorised to raise the standard of vengeance against peaceful nations ; they laugh to scorn the sacred rights of nations; they call themselves arbiters of the fate Of other men, as if they themselves belonged to another species ; they forget that it was the people who first raised them up, and since sustain them. and that those vain titles, derived from three, and shrouded in superstition and barbarity, when opposed toee rights of nature, are in themselves null. We profess the Spanish dctrie that the law is the pres... shin of the general will ;s o we wish n ex that in the ey e o f t h e law all should be equal ; that personal security and property should be respected ; that as man is free t o thi n k, b e should be equally so to expr e s s his sentiments, under the responsibility due to the laws and public morals; . that virtue should be honoured and esteemed; that the guilty should not be exempted' from the punishment d ue to h is cr i mes; that no one should be the slave of caprice, or the ambition of others ; that the. authori ties should be answerable for their own injustice, and that the powers of the State, without iivality, should be occupied i n the preser va ti on of pu blic order. Of these objects which is the one that can b e d eeme d incom patible with the dignity of Thrones? Which is the one that does not directly contribute to the felicity of the human race? Which of them is opposed to the grand ends and sublime plans of. the Author of Nature ? Tremble, tyrants ! The die Is cast, and your own fate Is de cided. Your attempts to stifle the light by encouraging the clashing of parties, and impoverishing nations in order to sub ject and vilify them, cannot prosper. The P ublic pres.s has already shaken you r p ow e r , an d you will yet - be compelled to regulate your conduct by that rule prescribed by the Eternal 'Wisdom, which protect knowledge, and avenges the wrongs of j oppresed nations. Even were _you now to conpier, the inhuman • rigour of pro. scriptions and the horrid sp ectac l e o f ecaffolds, the trophies of your victory, would pass away as the fleeting flash of lightning. Be assured that from our monitory graves, from each drop of our generous blood, restoring and conquering armies in favour of' the Representative s y stem , will still rise up., Your effOrts against reason and justice .cannot be lasting, and in the end must prove unavailing. Our cause , is the . listen and know, cause of God. Gud p ro t ects it, under his shield the people sustain it, and even your own deluded troops, as soon as the charm of superstition is broken, as soon as the price of bribery is consumed, will know that you have deceived them, by caus-1 ing them.to take up arms against themselves. - What Government„ what civilised people, is Ignorant of the axiom, that every nation po ssesses t h e right of choosing the in.. .

Your sophisms, therefore, will not suffice to justify, even In the eyes of people the moot barbarous, the present invasion of Spain.

We de spise the imputatio ns o f those who attack us with arms derived from falsehood and calumny. They accuse us of holding our King a captive • whereas the public, as well as the free and spontaneous acts of his lilajesty, ofthemselves, destroy this foolish imposture. The very aggression of the•Fretielleite binet confines him, together with ourselves, in the °Witting= Island—and there unites us by the most sacred ties ? Why do they not fairly publish what the whole of Europe already knows, that they sought to wrest him from us, in order toren, der him tributary ; or convert him into a despot ? Their 1$ the crime, and in order to gild it over, they seek to defame by false allegations. That we guard and preserve our King is most true; but for what purpose ? In order that he may not be robbed from us by those who, being our enernieat cannot be his friends. We maintain him independent of It fo reign dominion, because we dread the slavery to which he was borne away by the advice of weak and unwary counsellors during the first French irruption. We gave him freedom in Se ville by preserving him from the French armies, which sought to wrest him f rom us , and tear him from the arms of loyalty, in order to consummate their perfidious plans ; and we are re solved to bestow the same freedom upon him now, in spite of the fresh attacks which hypocrisy sought to hide and Provi dence has been pleased to discover. We, therefore, alone pre, serve our Monarch in a state of freedom, in opposition to per. fidious invaders ; we alone preserve for him that glorious sceptre unstained which he derived from his people's love. Who can pledge to Spain that our beloved Monarch would, by the rivele of his glory, be allowed to sit on his throne, if they could once get him into their o wn h an d s ? W e appe al to public re port—hut we will draw a veil over what it may not be pro per to divulge. N a pol eon once d ece i ve d the badly advised' Prince ; and we Spaniards should be fool-hardy indeed, if, after that lesson, we were to consent to see him betrayed and sported with by others not less invidious than the above tyrant, of Ins prosperity and ours. It is the obligation of faithful sub.. jects to guard their Princes from actions which implicate hie, own dignity, ag. well as the security of the State. Even if we were not bound to this, as we in facture by our ancient laws, it would he sufficient for us to know that the rights of nations, as well as nature herself, ordain the preservation of honour, of in. dependence, and liberty. in both Kings and kingdoms. Can you deny this, infamous eggressors! You will not doe to do it, because you are unable. Po attempt it, were to IfOr der you the objects of scorn. You aspire, at all hazards, to consummate your plan, without b e i ng di smayed by its injus tice, or withheld by the iniquity and vileness of the mean* you are compelled to employ. Yet, after all, you will not sue ceed. Nations fighting for those rights bestowed upon them by the Author of Society, cannot be conquered. Defence in this case is an impulse derived from that Providence which governs the world, to whose throne the cries and tears of the oppressed have already reached. Slaves, headed by robbers, cannot triumph over free men, much less by trampling upon and destroying the oppressed; much lens by paying, ds price of disloyalty and perj ur y ; muc h l ess by calling in to their aid the deluded, who soon may be undeceived and recover themselves, and discover the disasters which a deceptive hypo crisy had hidden from them. Let us leave to their own degradation those who seem satisfied with it, as well as those who aspire to nothing else. The British, as lovers of freedom, and the Ladies of London, whose heroic acts and sentiments do honour to the cause of moderate (lover*. meats, will ever live in our grateful memories, and from us, set well as our children,...-from the whole of Spanish posterity will they receive the praise due to virtue. We return you the tribute of our thanks ; tie Prize the worthy example you hold forth to civilized nations; we are certain you will continue to us the aid ofyour wisdom, of yottr manly mind, and of your moral power, and that you will net* lose sight of, but rather cherish, our determination never tie suffer the Fundamental Code and the Monarchy to be wrested from us.—Cadir, &c. &c.
