OCTOBER 24, 6 o'cluck in the evening.—An estafstte has just arrived, with an order to the Colonel of Artillery commanding the park, to set off for Barcelona, and to direct the remainder 'of the park (eoisisting of 150 large pieces, 200,000 bombs, grenades, and other projectiles) to be convoyed after him b ..farted marches. ORDER OF THE DAY. "'The happy effects ,which were anticipated from the deliver , 'since of the'King of Spain are beginning to be felt in Catalonia The tints of den d'Errgel have just capitulated. It was on the at six o'clock in The morning, that M. the General Baron Hotel, chief in command of the siege, took 'possession of them in the name of his Catholic Majesty. The Governor, Vigo., with PO men Of the •garrison under hem, dreading the hatred • of their countrymen, - have solicited•to be sent into France, as prisoners of war. They will arrive at Perpignan on the 27th inst., and on the 28th they Will march onward for the interior of the kingdom. One hundred and eighteen officers of the regiment Laredo, who had declared submission to-King Per& nand VII., have solicited atuA, obtained permission to return to their homes. " A considerable quantity of artillery and ammunition was found in the forts of the Sea d'Usgel. There was also * supply of provisions for along time. "- It is confirmed that the garrison of Lerida has sent corn rnissioners to Madrid to take the King's orders: hostilities are suspended, until their return, and every thing indicates - thitt they vrill teat be recommenced. " aegoclatton is on 'foot smith the' Constitutional Chiefs of, Mendota,' for the surrender of that fortress, and it is probable that it will not be long ere it acknowledges the authority of Ferdinand. This belief is the more to be relied on, seeing that &pry thing is ready for the siege, of which Mina and Rotten are inforincd ; and moreover, they are fully aware that they must not now seek their salvation in the force of arms.

CARBIONA, OCT. 23.—At nine this morning the King, Queen, and Infentas, departed from Seville amidst the accla 'nation of innumerable crowds. They Slept at Alcala de (ha dales, at the instance of the Marquess de (Jendol, who served them with a splendid banquet. At half-past five in the even ing they reached this city.

[PRIVATE LETTER.] GIBRALTAR, OCT. 16.—We are crowded with the unfortu nate Spaniards who have taken refuge here to escape the mil*. ries of a dungeon, or the tortures of the bloody Inquisition.— Among them are upwards of sixty of the most distinguished Deputies of the Cortes, as Valdez, Alava, and Infante*: W rap; Yandiola, Alanzanares, and Calatrava, are also here.... They seem much at a loss to,select a point of retreat and tecu. city. 'At flritit was their intention to hi . Ve gine, over to Ceuta, and maintained themselves ',as Constitutionalidti; but having practised a reconntOsance, the want of 'supplies, and .inadq• quitry of the works to withdtAnd a siege, induced them to abandon the project, as they knew they might imme diately expect to be attacked by ‘ all the French disposable force, who no doubt would be more happy to have such an excellent plea far obtaining possession of that highly important fortress, which they might hold as a convenient check on this garrison. There is a warm feeling - among the inhabitants of the rock in favour of these unsaccessul Patriots. John Bull participates in their sufferings, and seems inclined io alleviate them, and revenge their cause, would the policy of our Go vernment but give an opportunity of checking the rising pride and power of rival France; the navy in particular are loud for war ere it be too late, and before the French seamen acquire expe rience and confidence. We have had many French men of war lying in the Bay ;on their first visit-they worked in an extraor nary unseatnanlike manner, but are no'w improved. I dined on board the French frigate Guerriere the other day at Algeci ras, and was most agreeably surprised to heai them sing the Spanish Cnnstitutional songs with great life anti spirit; the whole of her crew appear to be animated ',ty liberal sentiments, which they shewed a few days since in so strong a manner, on being ordered to attack the island of Tarifa, that it was deemed prudent not to carry the orders into effect. Sir Robert Wilson arrived here a few days line° from Cadiz and Tarifa ; he was at first undecided as to his future destin atitm, but has determined at last to return to England, in the first packet; the Spaniards insinuate, he wished to negociate, but I think the circumstances of his situation and elevated character will, on the contrary;- have impelled him to an op posite line of conduct ; however, all these battles will doubtless be fought over again by his friends and constituents, and due credit will bt given him for his actions and . sacrifices. There never war stitch an influx of Contrabandistas to Gib raltar.;. they take advantage of the disorded which every where prevail' throughout Spain, to smuggle with impunity. From Cada, we lam, ail the prohibitory commercial regu lations have been revived, allurtf;aV the French watch their exe cution, excepting when it iniplitfatee any of their own vessels. They are also repairing the fortifications with great activity; t he breaches formed by the sea are almost closed up, and it Is understood they intend to erect a fort on the Puercas, or rocks at the entrance of the harbour. These precautionary steps a indicate strongly that the occuption is not quite of such a tem porary nature as many would wish to believe. THE MURDER Of' MR. W. WEARE [FURTHER AND LATEST PARTICULARS.] EXAMINATIONof MRS.PROBERT and MISS NOYES. We mentioned in a former Paper that Mrs. Probert and Miss Noyes were to undergo a private examina tion before the Magistrates, for the purposeof ascertaining how far their -stories coincided with the statements of the prisoners in custody.—This examination took • place yesterday, at the house of Mr. Court's:tem:xi at Watford, but wns conducted, from prudential motives, with great secrecy. All the Magi stretes, who have hitherto exerted themselves on this painful subject, were present, as well as Sir CHARLES Poor.r, and several of the principal inhabitants of the neighbourhood. Mrs. Probert and her sister were taken down to Watford on Monday night, in separate post chaises, the former in the cus tody of Bishop, the Bow-street officer ; the latter under the careof Simmons, a local constable . They did not reach the Essex Arms till 12 at night,. and it was then announced that the Magistrates were forthwith to enter upon the examination. After some time, however, it was noti fi ed , that the proceedings were to be deter red till the next day. Miss Noyes seemed to be much more sensibly affected than Mrs. Probert. She cried almost incessantly, and was g ratly depressed. After having had tea in the same apartment with. the officers they retired to rest in separate chambers, in whi ch they .were lo cked up for the night ; Miss Noyes intreeted tha t she might be allowed to have alight during the night ; but this was refused, as well as a sub sequent request that the chamber-maid might be allowed to sleep with her ; she in consequence spent the night in darkness, and, we understand, in the greateet agony, not venturing to go to bed at all. In the morning t h e y break fasted again with the officers, and soon after ten were conducted on foot to Mr. Clutterbuck's house. We understand, that the great coat worn by John Thurtell on the night of the murder has been found, with the lining of the sleeves cut out, as if for the purpose of removing the marks of blood ; there are such marks, however, on other parts of the coat. It is also rumoured, that the bloody clothes of Weare have been found in the lodgings of some of the parties. It appears that Probert, after he was in custody, told Mr. Field, the landlord of the Artichoke, that on the night of the murder, he put Hunt down at the end of a lane near the Lime kilns, on the road from Elstree - to Badlett, at which place he had agreed to meet John Thurtell ; anti that he afterwards drove on through Radlett to his own house. On his arrival there he saw John Thurtell, to whom he mentioned that he h ad left Hunt waiting- for him ; on which Thurtell said, " Oh, I've done the trick without him." Prnbert then said he must went back for Hunt, and he did accosdingly turn round, and went back for hint in the gig. It would seem from tite inquiry on the spot that John Thurtell drove Weare past Probert's cottage, down (Jill's Hill-lane, as hr was seen at a turning in .the lane at eight o'clock, by a man who noticed the distressed state of his horse." Thurtell had then got out of the gig, and seemed to be feeling in the breast of hie great coat for -something (now supposed to be the pistol) and it believed, bet for the interrupt ion he received, he would have effected his purpose on this spot. Finding himself disturbed here, however, he drove on d own the lane till he arrived at the place where the dreadful tragedy was performed. This was about eight o'clock, as Freeillart and his wife, who heard the report of the pistol, followed by the grottos, and the man who met the parties, both agree. The acetic of action was nearly half a mile from Probert's house, and after the murder was accomplished, the victim was drawn through the hedge into a turnip field, where the body remained till it was subsequently removed to the pond in the garden. The bushes in the hedge —the maple-tree close to the spat—and the fence, all bore marks of blood—which have since been cut off by the curious visitors. The lane in which the deed was dune would not admit of two gigs to pass, and hart a singularly wild and romantic appear ance being overshadowed with trees. Men are now engaged in widening it, and the place through which the body was taken has a georned quite a di ff erent appearance. After Thurtell had committed the murder, he must have gone to the end of the lane before he turned hie horse---this was not more than a dis tance of two or three hundred yards. Proberee cottage is now in the possession of the Sheriff, but it is visited by many persons. .? It has a must wretched and deserted appearance. There is a large kitchen on the ground floor, with a parlour and wash-house. The patlour is a small roam of a very low pitch, and is not well furnished. It still contains the couch on which Hunt lay on the morning after the murder ; and the chintz covering of the squab is stained with blood in several places. Mr. Mason, the Magistrate, and the Coroner, were there yesterday, and noticed this CireUtti stance. The bed rootlet are of the most homely description, extremely inconvenient, and very small. We understand that before Probert occupied the place, it was used fur a private still. Previous to that, sonic years back, it was occupied by Mr. Heath, the Barrister, as a shooting box. The grounds are beautifully romantic, and tire capable of being made ex tremely picturesque. The walks and trees, however, of late, have evidently been let to run wild. The pond is of consider able lengths, stretching from the house to the end of the grounds. The upper part, towards the house, :e shallow ; but the lower end is wide and deep. It was drained on Sunday, but no new discovery was made. From the house no view of the pond can be obtained ; and the parlour door looks in a contrary direction. lodeed so thick are the trees and shrubs, that until you get to the pond side you cannot perceive it. The place where the grave was attempted to be dug has been pettier filled up ; it is not more than two feet deep, and then collies a strata of strong brick earth through which it would have been impossible to have penetrated without great labour. The pond in which the body was ultimately found is up. wards of three miles front Probert's house, end within a quer ter, of a mile of the Artichoke, at Eistrec. What appears s ingular is, that the murderers s hould have chosen this deposi tory, when they actually passed over a bridge which crossed a pond of wster of infinitely greater magnitude. It is clear that the body never could have been carried front place to place, and finally thrown into deep water by one person. As a proof of the unfeeling depravity of Hunt, and of his " Tarpon-like" qualities, we have to state, that while he was in irons, last sieek, at the Essex Arms, in Watford, previous to his examination before the Magistrates, he sung a celebrated song ; and while he was at the Artichoke, during the sitting of the Coroner's Inquest, he could scarcely ho restrained from pursuing a similar course. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.] Hunt and Probert arrived at Hertford jail between four and five o'clock on Sunday morning„ in two post-chaises, and well guarded. John Thurtell, as before stated, has been confined there since Thursday last. The visiting Magistrates have or dered the three prisioners to be kept separate ; that they be double-ironed—and that no person whatever be permitted to see either of them, unless by the special order, or the pre sence of a Magistrate —excepting the Chaplain to the jail. —The arrangement of cells was discussed in the presence of Hunt and Probert, on their arrival yesterday morning. On the Magistrates' order being alluded to, Hunt betrayed con. siderable alarm, and entreated that he might not be kept in solitary confinement. " Why should you tear being alone ?" was asked ; the reply was evasive, Hunt only observing, that he should greatly prefer the company of three or four persons. Although it is determined to keep the prisoners apart front each other, it is neverthess ordered, that two men should al ways be with each, and Hunt's desire is, therefore, at present complied with ; he is in one of the rooms usually devoted to female prisoners, of whom there are none in the gaol at this time. On Sunday the three prisoners attended Divine Service ; they were in three distinct pews ; the text was appropriate ; " Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God." A pin might have %teen heard drop during the service. Beyond mute attention nothing peculiar was observable in the conduct of the prisoners. John Tian-tell has written to a Mr. Jay, a respectable attor ney at Norwich desiring his early attendance. He still denies all knowledge of the murder ; but when the Coroner was de tailing to a third person in his presence the mangled state in which the body of Mr. Weare was found. Thurtell betrayed evident constraint of manner, and was obviously affected, although he seemed desirous of assuming the appearance of in difference ; his mouth was distended, his eyes were fixed and strained, and there appeared a manifest conflict between the re solution to conceal, And a supp res s ed propensity to coin , municate. Thurtell indulges greatly in arrioklng ; anti in the absence of visitors hisipipe is his constant companion. He expressed much satisfaction at the expectation of Air. Noel having the conduct of the proeecution. Thurtell has written to a friend for " Phillips's Speeches," to amuse him during his imprisonment; and when the Rev. Chaplain observed, that he could put a book in his hands that would be mote serviceable to him, he remarked that he wanted " Phillips's Speeches," to enable him to draw up his defence, which he meant to deliver himself. Thurtell indi cates by his conversation an aversion from dwelling upon the horrid and desperate transaction of Friday week. If it be mentioned, he maintains a sullen silence but if any other subject - be started, he breaks out into a hurried pursuit of the question, as most anxious of obtaining a momentary re lief from the thoughts of the murder. He continues to pro test his innocence, and endeavours to shift the onus on Hunt; he says that he lent Hunt a good suit of black on the evening of the murder, that he might appear respectable at the cottage; these on the Saturday, he says, Hunt pulled off at his (Thur tell's) lodgings, putting on an inferior suit whic h he lent him ; the better clothes Thurtell put on the day he was taken ; and. accounts for te pistol being found in the coat.pneket by stat ing that Hun t left it there, having murdered Weare with the fellow to it, which was found underneath the hedge. Probert appears perfectly wretched, anti extremely depressed. He wishes his wife to see him, but he has been dissuaded from an interview. He yesterday observed—" I itm sure Thurtell's life will be taken, and I am afraid my own will too."—" Not if your statement,(Which we have already given) be true," re plied his spiritual adviser. Here a pause ensued, but It did nut elicit any observation in reply. Probert, however, rather courts than shuns the subject of the murder, and, unlike Thur. tell, abstains from entering upon any other topic when started by another. Monday Hunt was in better spirits than he has hitherto been, and expressed his " conviction that his evidence would be taken, anti that he should be acquitted." If he should be admitted an 1 approver (which, however, we apprehend, may not be the case). he will not by put on his trial. ,tie appears to be an ignorant and ill-informed roan. Early in life John Thurtell went to sea. On returning to this country lie obtained a Lieutenant's commission in the German Legion, then serving in Portugal, and, as we believe, still en joys the half-pay of that rank. On his returned from Portugal he commenced business at Norwich, in the trade of that city.— there he became a bankrupt, and never obtained his certiti eau. He then came up to London, and took the Black Boy public-house, in Long-acre. His own name did not appear ae the ostensible landlord, but he had the sole management of the eo p ee ro.......wideli Was' also ultimately unsuccessful. A. house was then taken in Wetting .street, where the Norwich trade was carried on by J. Thurtell, but in the name of his brother. The destruction of thole premises and several other houseiley, tire—the action brought against the County Fire Office—and subsequent Indictment preferred by that establishment, will. be in general recollection. Warrants against the Thurtells on the Bill of Indictment which was found, are now out against them. From the time when the house in %Vatling-street was burnt, John has continued to reside at the house of his brother, the Cock, in the Haymarket, which is now in the possession of the assignees, un d e r the Commission of Bankrupt against Thomas Thu rtell. John Thurtell is 32. years of age. In the course of yesterday many applications were made fur a eight of the prisoners. So nic of the a pp licants were of high rank, but they were. refused. Prohert has written to a friend, begging Messrs. Adolphus and Alley may be retained as his Counsel. The public have heard of a house in Manchester -buildings, and the name of Woods, as that of one of the intended victims, has been also mentioned. This young man, who was paying his addresses to Miss Noyes, received a letter front Hunt, two days before the murder, requesting him to hasten to the house, where a lady, for whom he ode) collected rents, was re presented to be in a dying state. ()n entering the passage, Thurtell struck at him from behind the door with a pair of dumb-bells; the blow fell on the arm of Hunt, who exclaimed, Curse yoo—you have hit the wrong man, you rascal."— Woods immediately rushed out by the balf•opened door and ran off. He was pursued by Hunt, but succeeded in effecting his escape. It is surmised, and may be possible, that Thurtell was prompted to this attempt by jealousy. It is stated that house's had been taken by Thurtell and a gang of desperadoes in Manchester-buildings and Cannon-row, situations which, front their contiguity to the River Thames, were every way calculated for their atrocious intentions. Their avowed object was to • inveigle persons under simulated pre -11 tencee, who..were known to be the bearers of smite worthy of plunder, to these abodes of murder, teal there, first to aesassi , nate, and then cleepoil them of property they had about than. Private information was received by Mr. Noel, the solicitor, yesterday, that the moment Mr. \Vcare'a death was putliety mentioned, A person who was known to be acquainted with the 'Thurtell's, and who lived at Kensington, suddenly disappeared, and has not since been heart of. Mean s have been taken to prevent certain persons on whom suspicion rests front obtaining passports for France, and the utmost exertions arc making to secure the parties, against whom warrants have been issued. Thomas Thttrtell, who is at present in custody On the charge of defrauding the County Fire Office, was formerly a Lieute nant in the Royal Marines, and in the year 1811 left his Ma jesty's ship Adamant, then bearing the flag of the late Rear- Admiral Win. Albany (lawny, in Leith Roads. In tide ship he served two years, during which time the ship formed one ot the celebriited expedition to Welcheren, under the Earl of Chat hens. He shortly afterwerde relinquished his commission, and commenced far Mer upon an extensive scale, renting a farm of tour hundred acres, at a rent of WO/. per annum. Becoming, insolvent !'ruin the pressure of the times, or more probably front want 01' judgment, lie wee compelled to compound with his creditors. He subsequently took a public-house, called the Cock, in the Haymarket ; and, wishing, to avail himself of his brother John's knowledge of the silk trade, he took premises in Watling;-street--purchased various quantities of bombasins, Norwich crapes, &c. and the whole concern, although the pro perty of Thomas Thurtell, was left to the manaeonnent of Julio, who, from being tin uncertiticated bankrupt, was incapacitated front carrying on business himself. We understand that the unfurtnnate Mr. Martell, sen. has arrived in town in a state of ag-ony which is not to be desciihed. Yesterday Mr. Hunt, the vocal performer at Covent-garden Theatre, and brother to the unfortunate with his guilty coadjutors in the murder of Mr. %%retire, called at the Coach and Horses, in (2000 k-street, to make further in quirks of the lendlord, Mr. Tetsali, into the late dreadful afiltir, and eeemed anxious to know whether there were one or two gigs left hie house on the Sunday after the murder. lie was told only, one. lie appeared deeply afflicted at the awful situa tiun of his unhappy brother. TO THE EDrron Or THE SUN. Sin—A statement having - a ppeared in an Evening Paper of Monday, which has been adopted by most of the P epers for of this deceased Mr. kVilliarn Weare, 1 b e g of yoti,: o make public, m orning, in which my name 14 coupled with hunate that the whole of the statement as regards Mf. Weare and my self, is false. The proceedings against Messrs.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant, (heat Ormond-street, Nov. 4 . R. H. GRAHA THE PORT ST. MARY DECREE. A. curious, and though strange, by no means incredible account has reached us through the medium of a letter from Paris, descriptive of the circumstances that preceded, ,attii the causes that left to, the celebrated ilegree , issued by Fel.- dinand on his first landing at Port St. Maiy's from Cadiz, in which he annulled all the acts of the Cortes, in direct opposition to a decree made public on the preceding day in Cadiz. At the period of issuing the lat ter decree, his Catholic Mijesty was under the influence of certain wholesome feelings, which suggested to him that his present safety might be endangered, and his future credit affected by a contrary conduct. He knew that his invaders or allies would advise him to tem perate measures, as they could only hope to be repaid for the expences they had incurred, by maintaining Ferdinand's character for jus tice; and he believed also, that on the Duke of Angouleme alone he would have to rely for the funds necessary for the mere retainer* about his person, and to support something like the dig nity of a King. Ferdinand was therefore com pletely humbled, and disposed for mildness and lenity, when he placed his foot in, the boat that was to convey him from Cadiz. An unexpected friend was, however, at hand, prepared to supply his wants, and to encourage in him a perseverance in those principles in which he had been edu cated, and on which he has all his life acted. This was no less a person than the noted M. Ouvrard, the ostensible contractor for the Regency loan, who had put forth from Port St. Alary's in a boat to meet the King, and who, as we are informed, fell in with the royal vessel in the middle of the bay, and was graciously per witted to come on board. He there made a di rect tender to Ferdinand of a sum, in money, amounting to 9,000,000 francs (about 80,0001. sterling), with protnises of further aid to any ex tent he might require from the leaders of the ultra-Royalist party in Paris, provided he would annul, in the most unqualified manner, on his land ing at Port St. Mary's, all the acts of the Cortes. Various arguments were adduced by M. Ouv rard to obtain the King's consent, the principal of which was the necessity of extinguishing the hope of all future revolutions, by chewing that all those capitalists who ventured to assist them with money would be ruined if the cause did not ulti mately establish itself. The offer of the mo ney, which M. Ouvrard is said to have tender ed in money and notes, overcame all the good resolutions of Ferdinand, and procured his unhe sitating acquiescence in a measure so congenial to his natural disposition. On his landing, he had an immediate interview with the Duke of Angouleme, in the course of which money was tendered by the latter to Ferdinand toany amount bemight require; but he was iliformed,to his great surprise that he was already supplied to an extent equal to his wants. The obnoxious decree was issued in opposition to the more liberal policy Inculcated by the French Commander, and thus the intrigues of the ultra faction at Paris, secretly encouraged and support ed by the Russian Cabinet, triumphed over the .better system which policy would have extorted, and created a schism between Ferdinand and his deliverers, who fount in this conduct their first punishment for presuming to interfere in the affairs of an independent nation.--( Times.) MATERNAL AFFECTION. Amidst the different forms under which woman appears to the eye of man, none is more favour able to her than that of a mother. Of all the passions that sway the human breast, few are more proper, none is so respectable, as maternal affection. It is no doubt truly delightful to gase upon the budding charms of a youthful beauty. The sight of a young and lovely bride, about to confide the happiness of her future life to the man of her choice, awakens feelings of interest and of sympathy ; but the sight of a mother bending with all the warmth of maternal fond ness over her child, forms a picture far more in teresting, far more admirable. The heart of man may indeed feel the exquisite loveliness of this picture, but neither his pen nor his pencil can give an adequate representation of its real beauty and sublimity. it is not only the imme diate object before his eyes that warms his soul and awakens the bust feelings of his heart.— These sentiments, powerful as they may be in themselves, are still strengthened by the recol lection of the beloved being who gave him birth, who nourished him with her milk, who guided his infant steps, who watched over his earliest slumbers, and whose smiling face ever met his opening eyes. As maternal care is the most important of woman's duties, so it is that for which she shows the earliest disposition. Whilst the virtuous boy courts the most noisy ; the most violent exercise, the more quiet girl, dresses her doll, or carefully puts it to rest, and thus prepares her self to discharge the duties of a mother. The boy may take occasional notice of an infant, but the girl alone will fondle it, will nurse it, and c h e erfully dandle it in her arms. The boy will exhibit the sincere but rough expressions of his affection ; but the girl alone will display the so licitude, the patience, the softness, which mark the future mother. What reflecting and feeling mind can witness this 'instinct, without blessing the providence that bestowed it ; without loving and admiring the interesting being upon which it was be stowed ! Great no doubt is the force of pa ternal affection ; but great as it may be, it is still inferior, far inferior, to the love which a mother feels for her child. She who can behold the babe feeding on its mother's bosom, or see her fondly watching over its cradle, with out indulging mingled feelings of veneration and of gratitude, is a monster, fit only to live, not amidst time most ferocious animals, for they are alive to the sentiments of maternal affection, but alone, amidst solitudes and rocks, A.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. - We have received by' Express the' Etoile and the Pitote of Yesterday, as also the Journal dee Debats of Monday, which, however, does not contain any thing worth extracting. The paw states that FERDINAND, yielding to the sug• gestions and advice of counsellors more wise than those who dictated the. Decrees of Xeres, Sc‘cl has at length consented to grant a Constitution to his subjects, which may be some consolation to them for the indignities and sufferings that they have been compelled to endure, and may afford to them some protection against the recur rence of those oppressions of which they have been the victims. This is nothing more than we have always expected would be the result of the exertions of Sir Wlt.t.tax A'ConaT, after the resumption of his diplomatic attendance on not' DINAND. We know that the English Gov ment had resolved on exerting all its lade' ence to prevent the permanent re-establish' ment of arbitrary power in Spain, not less front a just regard for the interests of civiliz ation, than from a comprehensive view of the true interests of FennimAzer, himself, and a generousanxiet y to pr (P. mote the happiness and insure the tranquillitf r the Spanish nation. The French, to whom the 0U settled condition of Spain would ffurnishppretextfor continuing their military occupation, had Oa for many reasons for encouraging, or it best for opposing but a feeble and Will"re resistance to the dangerous career on which FERDINAND entered after his arrival at Port St' Mary. The' English Ambassador, on the ce ll " trary, having no motive but those arising fo ni t at sincere and deep interest in the wehu r- , Spain, and in the independence and stag of its Government, can hardly have failed teini‘ ; se ri, press FERDINAND and his immediate nay 01 1 1 however great the degree of their infatne the with some respect for views and op inien " se . adoption of which is so essential to their nvl curity, and to the prosperity and pence °f op country.
