Since the memorable commencement of the Penin sular war, when the Grand Duke of BERG was nomi nated to the temporary government of Spain, when CHARLES and the Prince of the ASTURIAS were at Bayonne, and JOSEPH, King of Naples, was hurry ing towards Madrid to assume the Spanish sove reignty, the political position of that country has never been one of such dramatic embarrassment, and the passions of the Spanish population have never been so universally aroused, as at this particular moment. With the first announcement of the in tended marriage between the Due DE MONTPENSIER and the Infanta LUISA the latent nationality of the Spaniards was developed. Since then every moment has served to elucidate still more remarkably the intense indignation with which the populace regard that alliance. The Progressista protest was re sponded to by thousands, of all degrees of political opinion ; signatures accumulated with astonishing rapidity. The public journals ut tered no quibbles of discontent, but pronounced them selves against the proposed arrangement in language of the most scornful emphasis, and in terms of the most decisive hostility. Notwithstanding the interference of Bens-d'armerie, and the seizure of newspapers and other similar endeavours to prevent these ebul litions of violent sentiment on the part of the citizens, Madrid has been throughout in volved in a general paroxysm of indigna tion. Nor have the provincial inhabitants of the Peninsula been backward in their expressions of rage. From Badajoz and Seville, from Saragossa and Ayamonte, the antagonism of the capital has been answered with alacrity and earnestness. So bitter is the feeling entertained by the people, so furiously do they yearn for the preservation of their nationality, that every o pportunity is seized, and TilE SUN,_LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1A46. every incident, however trivial, is grasped for the purpose of evidencing their repugnance to the diplomacy of the French Government, and their de termination, at all hazards, to prevent the realisation of the intentions of King Loins PHILIPPE. The Afrancesados are men abhorred. The Gallic race are derided with the contumelious title of " Ga hachos ;" the unfortunate postilion of Count BRESSON mobbed ; and in the columns of the Espectador the following ejaculations are uttered, after a stern condemnation of the proceedings of the French Government " Let the Duo de Montpensier come at once to live among the populace of the 2d of May, among miscreants who only breathed robbery and pillage. Let him come to live among Spaniards who honour themselves by being set down by the French as robbers tmd criminals. Let him come to Spain, and see how he is received. And when, in passing through the Prado of Madrid, he directs a look to the Campo de la Lealtad, and asks what are the ashes which that tomb contains, there Hill not be wanting some one to answer him, ' Here are the remains of those who, with the cry of independence, conquered and humiliated France." Such are the sentiments entertained throughout every corner of the Peninsula at this juncture, and precisely at this juncture new occurrences transpire which tend to plunge the nation into yet greater em barrassments, and threaten a series of the most start ling and gigantic catastrophes. _ _ _ By express intelligence we are told of three mar vellous events—events, however, so linked together as to amount to something beyond a mere coincidence. Don CARLOS has escaped from his place of confinement —his eldest son, the Count DE MONTEMOLIN, has im mediately afterwards escaped from Bourges ; and, as if to consummate the whole, and to throw everything into the most inextricable confusion, General CABRERA has escaped from Paris. What may be the consequence of all these striking and unexpected proceedings, it is impossible to picture to our selves by the wildest stretch of the imagina tion. Catalonia will unquestionably be the arena of some ecluircissement. Every eye is turned in that direction; and the disdain that is now rankling, and the fury that is now smouldering in the bosoms of the Spaniards, will inevitably evince themselves upon the very earliest occasion. Circumstances have lately occurred which render rather dubious the futurity of the entente cordiale. The various Go vernments are regarding each other at this moment with the most vigilant suspicion. Selfishness has betrayed itself through many of their agents, and a consequent withdrawal of confidence has evinced the insecurity of their previous reliance upon a common integrity among nations. Throughout the uncertainties which envelope the affairs of the Peninsula, it is impossible, how ever, not to recognise the subjoined facts; they are so glaringly manifest in themselves as to preclude any necessity for heir demonstration. First, the bulk of the Spanish population is resolute in its detestation of the intended marriage. Secondly, arrangements have been made both in Paris and Madrid for the speedy performance of that ceremony. Thirdly, the French Ambassador, and many of the French journals, have intimated the determination of France to complete the arrangements already made for the espousal of the INFANTA to the youngest son of their Sovereign. Fourthly, the Spanish people in thou sands, and several of the Spanish journals, have declared that that union shall be opposed by the voices of the multitude; and some have even proclaimed that it will be rejected by an appeal to arms. Fifthly, the principal leaders of the Carlists are at liberty and prepared to advance their own cause in this period of general uncertainty and disaffection. These facts are altogether indis putable, and from them may be drawn certain inferences as to the next move on the chess-board of the Penin sula. The paramount consideration at this juncture is, whether the Spaniards are, or are not so thoroughly infuriated by the attempt which is being made to join the hands of the INFANTA and the Due DE MONTPENSIER in contradiction to - their wishes, as to welcome any one, or any event which may offer the most likelihood for its prevention ; whether in that case the cause of Dan CARLOS may be regarded as a popular cause, and the success of his adventure be looked upon as identical with the preservation of the nationality of Spain. Those are the considerations which force themselves upon us by the very nature of recent occurrences. One grand fact is beyond all question—namely, that the Spaniards are impressed with a conviction that the proposed alliance would tend to rendering their country little better than a colony or dependency of France. holding this conviction, they are inspired with a deep and burning resolve to maintain the integrity of their native land. Upon this troubled and passionate multitude will devolve the duty of dictating the destinies of a great empire. Before that biassed and prejudiced tribunal will be tried many diverse claims ; and upon the decision there pro nounced will depend the wretchedness or happiness of millions. Let Spain be only loyal to herself at this crisis, and her better destiny will be accom plished ! Scarcely has the feeling of horror and indignation by which the public mind was thrilled and inflamed at the melancholy death of poor WHITE, and the expose that took place of the fearful system then in force with respect to corporal punishment in the army subsided—scarcely have the exertions of the friends of humanity been successful in procuring a diminu tion in the number of lashes that can legally be in flicted, and, it is to be hoped, in giving a death-blow to the abominable practice in one branch, at least, of the public service, than circumstances have been stated, which, if well founded, will doubtless excite similar feelings, and lead to a temperate, but firm demand for the total abolition of flogging in the navy as well as in the army—an appeal which we sincerely hope may be responded to by the authorities at the Admiralty as promptly, and with as much de ference to the national voice, as was evinced by the veteran Commander-in-Chief of the army It has been said—we know not with what truth, for the secresy maintained respecting naval punishments, their infliction without any trial or investigation, at the mere will and pleasure of the commanding officer, and the impossibility of the cries, the groans of the sufferer being heard beyond the bounds of his ship, or by any disinterested persons, who are not sub jected to, and under the command of, the person by whom the flagellation had been sanctioned and directed, prevent us from being able to vouch for the accuracy of the statement—that in one small ship on the Mediterranean station, mounting less than 20 guns, the lash has been more frequently used in one year than in all the other vessels on the station with in four times that period; that from March, 1845, to May, 1846, a period of 14 months, upwards of 2,000 lashes have been inflicted, on a crew which has never consisted of more than 120 persons liable to so degrading a punishment, and that the cat has been called into operation on the most trivial occasions, and for the most trifling offences. It is also said that four of the lieutenants appointed to that vessel have prayed for removal to other ships, and that they have been re moved accordingly. The paymaster and purser have in like manner requested a change, which re quest was acceded to—the clerk had run, and that in fact there is not a single subordinate officer or man on board who would not be glad to get away, almost on any honourable terms, where the cries and groans of the bleeding sufferers are but seldom hushed, where lacerated backs are exhibitions almost daily afforded. We have said that we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the details; we do not therefore give the names either of the vessel or of the commanding officer; but it is sufficient for us to say that such things are possible, they are tolerated and sanctioned by our naval cede. Everything is submitted to the discretion of the com mander; there is but one restriction, he cannot direct more than 48 lashes; but within that boundary there is no limitation to the exercise of his caprice or tyranny. It must also be borne in mind that the instrument of torture used in the navy is much severer than that adopted in the army, and that forty-eight lashes de livered by a boatswain's mate, " selon les regles," are considered fully equivalent to two hundred in the other service, a number which it is now known has frequently terminated in the death of the sufferer. We have, therefore, a power, which may be one of life or death, entrusted to the discretion, f‘:,r sonth, of an individual, Zn ' the army an offence must at least be charged, and an oppor tunity of vindicating himself, of putting forward his defence, must be afforded to the soldier, before he can be subjected to this horrid torture—this brutalising degra 'ation. But our gallant sailor has no such safeguard; his innocence avails him not. His anxiety fully and efficiently to discharge his duty— nay, the most perfect and admirable perform ance thereof, may be insufficient to protect him.; he may not have even the poor satisfaction of being heard in his own defence, of uttering one word of explanation or justification of his conduct, or in deprecating the horrible cruelty of which he is to be made the victim. No; a trifle of this kind must be left to the discretion of the commanding officer. The spirit, the heart of a brother Englishman is to be crushed and broken ; the manly and honourable pride of character, the most desirable to be obtained, cherished, and preserved, must be cast away ; and all for what ? —to pamper the pride, to keep up the eonsequence of a heartless despot. Is there anything in the epau lettes that confers infallibility on the wearer immedi ately on their attainment ? Is the possibility of error or mistake forthwith taGn away? Is there such a magic about them, that the welfare, the happiness of hundreds are to be handed over to the tender mercies of the possessor, without the interposition of any check or delay, which may give time sufficient for the great man to recover his temper, to get rid of the fit of passion which may assail the captain as well as the inferior officer, and render him for the time unable to command himself, much more those placed under his authority ? If all commanding officers were fitted by nature for command, this discretionary power might be useful, might safely be entrusted to their hands ; but, alas ! they are but men, and sub jected to frailties that fall to the lot of ordinary hu manity. There will be about the same proportion of discreet and well-disposed men that there will be amongst a like number of persons picked at random from the multitude; the result of this great discre ; tionary power, therefore, is frequently to pro duce petty tyrants, who torment their sailors into desertion and drinking. The perion who acts in this manner is not in every instance an ill-disposed or badly inclined man, he may not desire unnecessarily to torture those under his command, he may be merely a fool—a zealous fool, anxious to discharge fairly his duties, to wield with impartiality the tremendous powers placed in his hands; he may be prejudiced on particular points, hot after unimportant minutia, on the execution of which, he may, perchance, con sider the fate of his vessel, nay, of the navy, itself may depend, and in the enforcement of which he may !most injudiciously use his discretionary powers. Let our readers peruse the opinions of Sir CHARLES NAPIER—a man whose every thought and sentiment must command the most profound respect ; let them look to his admirable work on " Military Law and Flogging," and they will see that we have not gone to so great a length in deprecating this vast dis cretionary power as that distinguished and gal lant veteran. What he has said of command ing officers in the army will also apply to those in the navy with still greater force, as there is not in the latter the same controlling power of immediate publicity, and the force of public opinion to check and control its abuse. It is still worse in the navy for another reason ; in the army, every soldier must voluntarily subject himself to the discipline—must submit himself of his own free will and accord to the code of laws by which he is to be governed. But this is not the case in the navy; the man may be torn from his family and friends, he may be forced into unwilling servitude, and, without having done any act to deprive him of the rights and pri vileges of a British subject, he may be-rendered liable to punishments of the utmost stringency and severity, of the most degrading and revolting character. These things must no longer be suffered. We trust that an explanation will, without delay, be afforded as to the truth of these rumours, and that if there - is the slightest foundation therefor, a searching inquiry will be instituted into the causes that led to such a result. We trust that the Society for the Abolition of Flogging in the Army and Navy will not be idle. Here is an opportunity afforded to them of rendering the greatest service to the cause of philanthropy. We feel certain it will not be ne glected, but that the circumstances will be closely investigated : to their hands We commit it for the present, assuring them of our zealous co-operation in any steps which may be for the benefit of our naval brethren. A letter from Breslau, published in the Emancipa tion of Brussels, of the 16th, confirms the accounts which had been previously received, of another out break in Poland. " The account," says this letter, "of disorders having broken out in Galicia and the free state of Cracow are confirmed. The authorities have, in consequence, adopted extraordinary measures of repression. There are constant patrols of detach ments of light horse, and the innkeepers are formed into a civic guard. At Cracow a cannon accompanies the patrols. The nobles of Galicia have taken refuge in Cracow, and the landholders of the republic seek shelter in the towns from the apprehended attacks of the peasantry. All political discussion is forbidden in Cracow, under p-sin of corporal punishment. The Peasants of Galicia refuse the feudal service, or avenge themselves by incendiarism." On the 7th the King of DENMARK arrived at Schleswig. The people were perfectly oalm, but re ceived him without any demonstrations of loyalty. A Berlin letter cf the 12th says :—"ln conse quence of the establishment of special night traibs by the French Northern Railroad for the purpose o: forwarding the letters, and organising a service of estafette from Aix-la Chapelle to Hanover, which will correspond with the first train leaving the latter city for Berlin, the letters which will leave Paris at seven o'clock in the evening will arrive at Berlin at five o'clock in the afternoon of the fourth day, or twenty-six hours earlier than formerly, and will be delivered the same day. Letters sent from Berlin to Paris will arrive in eighty-three hours." It is proposed to establish a new bank in Vienna. A letter from that city, dated Sept. 8, says—" We shall soon have a new bank for loans opened here. The National Bank makes advances of only two thirds upon public securities, exacting four per cent. discount. The other funds, such as joint-stock shares, are excluded from this advantnge, but the Savings' Bank grants loans upon them at 4i or 5 per cent. The new bank will be supported by the State. The legal interest will be 5 per cent. There is great talk of a new loan to meet the expenses of the public works proposed by the Government, and which will exceed 00,000,000 f. This sum will suffice for the principal railroads, and should there be any surplus it will be applied to the construction of railroads to the frontier of Bavaria." At a conference of the Ecclesiastical Chapter lately held at Mosback, in the Necker, the following reso lution was unanimously adopted :—" That the new head of the Catholic Church, Pope Pius IX., Laving manifested in his wisdom, matured by age and the spirit of GOD, an intention to promote the welfare of the Church and of the State, by useful reforms called for by the wants of the age, the conference propose:, as follows :-Ist, The Ordinariat is requested to ad dress itself to the head of the church through the archbishop, in order to obtain the assembly of a na tional German Synod. 2dly, The Ordinariat is requested to put in force in the present diocese the institutions of the diocesan synods, conformably to the resolutions of the Council of Trent." Accounts from Bologna state that great prepara tions are making in that city for the celebration of a grand fete in honour of his Holiness POPE Pius IX. Itossim has composed the music of a Te Drum, to be sung in the Cathedral on the occasion. Accounts have been received from Lisbon to the 9th. Count DAS ANTAS ; Commander-in-Chief in the province of the Minho, has completely defeated and dispersed the Miguelites on the height 4 of Pico de Regalados and of Aboine, and had devised a plan by which the troops from Valenca, Oporto, Braga, and Chaves were, by a combined movement, to attack Father Casmino's band of Miguelites. This band is composed of Spaniards, and the Holy Father desig nates himself, somewhat blasphemously to our think ing, " the Defender of the five wounds of Cilium" Madrid papers of the 12th have arrived. The hatred of the Gabachos, as the Spaniards now contumeliously denominate the French, is increasing every day in intensity, throughout the length and breadth of the land, and Frenchmen are publicly in • suited in th streets of Madrid. In spite of the exer tions of the Political Chief, the petition against the marriage of the INTANTA with the Due DE AIONTPEN-. SIER is daily receiving additional signatures, as it is taken from house to house by trusty emissaries. Similar petitions have arrived from Barlajoz, from several towns in Biscay, Ayomonte, and Huesca. In the meantime TRISTANT, at the head of a Carlist band, is ransacking the villages and towns of Lower Arragon ; and in addition to the escape of Don CARLOS, which we mentioned yesterday, we have now to announce " the escape of his son, the Count DE MONTEMOLIN, in whose favour Don CARLOS resignel his claims some two years since, and of the noted and dreaded CABRERA. These three person ages are probably ere this in Spain. In the mean time the preparations for the marriages go on., The Tiempo states that Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS is to be appointed Gener o of the Spanish armies, with General PEZUEL his aide-de camp. NARVAIII, who was at Bayonne on the 13th, en route for Madrid, has probably arrived there ere this. The session of the Cortes is not expected to last more than eight days. The Espectador of the 12th publishes an appeal to th:i Spanish nation against France, which it says " is our debtor for the blood of our fathers." It is un necessary to add that the paper was immediately teized. GONZALES BRAVO, having done all the mischief in his power at Lisbon, has returned to Madrid. • MADRID BOL9A, ►SSEPT. 12.—The Three per Cents, were done at 361 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 221 ; the Five per Cents. at 23; the Debt without Interest, at 7; and the Coupons at 21, We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Constitutionnel speaks of the marriage of the Duc DE MONTPENSIER as a dangereuse etourderie that may cost France dear.. " Never," says the Con stitutionnel," had the design of marrying the INFANTA to a French Prince, before the QUEEN had heirs, been communicated to EnOand. It appears, on the contrary, that this delay and condition, stipulated by Lord ABERDEEN, had been tacitly accepted by our Cabinet. This sort of verbal convention was one of the results, good or bad, of the cordial understanding. Yet, without giving due warning, our Government has suddenly come to the resolution of marrying the INFANTA at the same time as the QUEEN. We have seen the effect produced in England as well as in Spain, by this unexpected determination. Mr. BUL WER exchanges notes to express his surprise and dis content. He opens, as it were, the doors of his embassy to all Spaniards who disapprove of the marriage, and almost publicly tells all Madrid that he has deemed it his duty to protest, without even waiting for his Government's orders. A great effervescence has arisen at Madrid. A foreigner who has witnessed all the &mutes and revolutions that have agitated the capital of Spain during-the last ten years, writes that the agitation has never been so great as at present. At Paris Lord NORMANDY uses towards M. GuizoT a language which greatly resembles a protest. The discontent extends to all parties, and almost the whole English press. The QUEEN her self, if we be well informed, thinks it proper to write also, and writes with marked coolness and singular bitterness. She is answered under the influence of similar feelings. If this be not a rupture of the entente cordiale, we know not what the words good understanding' and politizal accord' can mean." On the subject of the note alluded to by the Con stitutionnel, we find the following in the Presse : " A report has been in circulation during the last two days that ,an angry note has been addressed by the British Cabir et to out Government on the subject of the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier with the Infanta Donna Maria Luisa Fernand& Certain information, which we believe to be accurate, permits us to declare that this report is unfounded. The departure of the Duke de Montpensier for Madrid is definitively fixed from the 25th to the 28th of this month. The King left toas;n this morning for La Ferte Vidame, where he is to pass some days with his family. The Minister of the Interior likewise quitted Paris this day, for his estate at Lagrange, in the Gironde, where he intends to remain a month." " These facts prove,"says this sagacious authority, " that at this moment there is no serious subject of negotiation in the upper regions of the Government, as some persons affect to suppose." The French garrison at Otaheite is to be largely reinforced. The Flotte, _which on all colonial and naval matters may be considered as an authority, says— "Reinforcements, much more considerable than were at first expected, are about to depart for our establish ments in Oceania. The new governor, Captain Lavand, is Laid to have strongly insisted on obtaining those rein fercements. It is certainly full time to overco:ne the ettibarrasinictits that, accompanied oor ime:illation on those shores. Commander Lavand has shown himself' very firm and re.olute. Ile maturely weii , l,ed the diffi culties of the situation, and demanded the necessary means to consolidate our dominion in Oceania. This appears to its a good omen for the future. It is, in our opinion, a becoming answer to the unfounded kupposition of a few journals, wino asserted that M. Lavand was opposed to our retaining those possessions, and that he was sent to evacuate them. The fc,rees concentrated at Otaheite on the arrival of the expedition will enable the new Governor to operate on a greater scale, and effect, The first thebe speedy to pacificati on o f t h e pr i nc i pa l i s l an d . he ojebe attained should be dheestablishment of a central point, both secure and tranquil, from whence it will be easy for us, in the course of time, and by peaceable means, to propitiate the deluded population of that archipelago. The settlement we have com menced in those islands was naturally attended with many obstacles. We there found English influence deeply rooted, and the religious education of the na tives was also hostile to us. An establishment cannot flourish from its outset under those circumstances. Barbarians, on every point of th e g l o b e , i n C aucasus , Algeria, New Zealand, &c., invariably offer a desperate and sometimes heretical resistance to the r invaders.

ESCAPE OF COUNT DE MONTE• VIOLIN• and GENERAL CABRERA. The Count de Montemolin, eldest son of Don Carlos, has escaped from Bourges. General Cabrera has clandestinely left Paris, and arrived at Rouen on Sunday evening, the 13th. In the night he left that city in a carriage, accompanied by a friend, and took a route towards the sea, where he, no doubt, had a boat waiting to take him to Eng• land for Spain.—Chronicle. Our readers will remember that not long since the intention of the King of the French to visit Queen Victoria during the present autunin was announced in the London as well as in the Parisian journals. We at the time made inquiries into the subject, and found that such was the declared intention of Louis Philippe. We have now, however, to state, that no such visit is to take place ; the idea is altopther abandoned. 'We speculate not on the causes of this departure from previous arrangements --we state only the fact, leaving it to others to estimate its significancy at this particular juncture. We are in debted to a Paris correspondent of high rank for the first intimation of this change of purpose on the part of the King of the French.—Observer. ACCIDENT FROM A THRASHING MILL.—On LlES day forenoon, a ploughman employed on a farm, near Bridge of Earn, whiL, superintending the driving of the thrashing mill, got entangled with a part of the ma chinery, and was so seriouly injured, that it was deemed advisable to Convey him to the Perth Infirmary, whither he was immediately taken. One of his legs was dreadfully mangled, the flesh having been literally torn from the bone, and sadly hacked. The surgeons of the infirmary entert a i ne d f ears t h a t amputation of the limb would be necessary, but they delayed a day in hopes that it might be retained to the sufferer, and yesterday another day was given with the same view. The poor lad is bearing up wonderfully.—Perthshire Courier.
