Let us not delude ourselves as to the state in which our finances are. While France pays an annual marl button of nearly four thousand millions of reels, Spain can scarcely pay 600 millions, with this limitation, that nothing wild, ever enter the Treesury if recourse is had to a direct con tribution, or any thing similar in kind though different in name. On the other hand, the want of commercial activity, the wretch ed state of our manufactures, the situation of America, the want of the artificial wealth of circulation, which enables Eng , . land to cover a debt incomparably larger than ours, ought to haves powerful influence in preventing us from recognizing a debt which we cannot pay without depriving ourselves of pay itif the new Loan." The article expresses a very naive regret that the Cortes did not rule some months longer, es, from the ratio in which they increased the Debt, a bankruptcy would have been inevitable, whereby they would have" freed the Legitimate Monarch front an immense deficit which almost defies celculution." So much for Spanish fi nances. The Constitutional Government of Spain .deso.ves the utmost reprobation for the profligate manner in which the Loans were wasted which ought to Italie supplied them with the means of defence in the hour of peril ; but still the ere-. ditor had the national property for his security, and he could count on the consistency of the na tional organ. But with . the overthrow of the Cortes all rational hopes of creditors were at an cud. Thu law of a despot is his convenience.— This is a truth which it may he well to keep in. mind' when speculating with respect to some ether countries as well as Spain. The Emperor Alexander, for instance, may inspire the cre ditors of Russia with confidence; but who knows what sort of principles his successor may pos sess ? Those Who lend money to arbitrary Mo narch, except on the most extravagant terms, de serve to lose it. r MORNING POST.] The .French Papers which arrived yesterday. though nearly filled with descriptions of the va rious fetes given to celebrate the triumphs of the Duke d'Angouletne and the pacification of the Peninsula, contain ninny articles which prove that the stale of Spain is one of agitation fled not of peace, and that alarm is the feeling with which it is viewed, both by the emancipated Despot at Medrid, and his 64 Liberators" in the Tuileries. The Gavite tie .France informs es, " that the return of the French army wilt not hi' as prompt and as geeeral as it had been ori ginally announced." And in support of this as sertion, it not only adds, "r hat so perior orders had detained at Gerona the Ist regiment of light infan try, which wits to leave that town on the 2Gth of Nov. to repair to Mount-Louis by the ilth inst.;" but it partly explains the grounds on which those orders had been issued, by saying—" Whilst Qatalonia appears generally tranquil, there are. reasons to fear that an evil spirit exists amidst ..the numerous population of Barcelona,. and that the revolutionary lava may once more overflow from that city." That these apprehensions are not confined to one particular point in Spain is evident from the following statement, which ap pears under the head of 'Madrid in the s a me Paper :---" The Constitutional troops being still animated with an. evil spirit, Scatter alarm through all the provinces where they sojourn. —The extreme indulgence displayed towards the Liberals has rendered them more than audacious!— It seems to he certain that at Cadiz they have carlied .criminality so tar as to cast stones at the King's por trait. God grant that our Government may possess sufficient firmness and energy, otherwise we know not what may hopper), for all the ele ments of revolution still exist." With such inti mations before tire precarious situation in which Spahr is placed, one might think that the Pari sians would pause, if they possessed as much disposition for reflection as for pleasure, ere they joined in celebrating the " foil accomplishment" of the designs of France on the Peninsula. — 'Mere is such a thing as disposing of the skin before the Bear is quite dead. [rla TIMM] A IVleeting, it vr►ll be seer► by our Journal, took place in Lincoln's Inn Hall yesterday, for the purpose of agreeing to some method of pay ing homage to the memory of Lord Erskine, and it was finally determined to erect a monument. There is something excessively pleasing in these proceedings of the Bar :they reflect honour on the living, almost as much as on the illustrious dead. Great talents can perhaps be commemorated or handed down to posterity by themselves. They are to be known hereafter, by what they have done whilst in the vigour of their exist ence ; and the most Splendid external testi mony can cud but little to their renown. In this sense, Lord Erskine has left behind him the best monument of his own greatest in his judicial pleadings. Exegit monumentuol (ere poremilus But, the many amiable qualities with which he was adorned before time had shorn him of his !veins, can be► learned only from the evidence of cotemporaries. His diffusive benevolence—his universal courtesy--his freedom from jealousy— his love of kindred genius—his fascinating mirth, and graceful playfulness of manner, the► surest tests of a guileless heart ;—if these human ex cellencies do honour to the possessor, it is but little less honourable to those who commemorate them after his decease, to show that they have been sensible of their influence, and regret their loss. rsevr TIMES. 3 The French Papers which reached us yester day to Sunday morning contain little matter of ' importance. The news from Spain represents the Royalists as proceeding in most places with the{ disarmament of the late Constitutionalists, who submit very quietly. The most obnoxious have fled the kingdom, some of them with a considerable share of plunder. The Spanish Papers assert that Mina carried with him a large sum of money : this man, it must be remembered,set outin life as a com mon labouring stonemason ; so that he appears to have turned his patriotism to pretty good account. The Empecinado is not quite so fortunate : he has been arrested, and a dispute has arisen be tween those who wish to detain, and those who desire to liberate bim : meanwhile he is in pri son, and the matter is refe fred to the King of Spain. King Victor Emanuel, who abdicated the Throne of Sardinia in 1821 , has recently been attacked with a dangerous illness. — On the 3(1 instant he was so ill as to re. ceive extreme unction, but on the 4th and sth he had been considerably relieved.— We rejoice to perceive by these Papers that the French Law against the Slave Trade is not suf fered to remain a dead letter. On the 11th ult. the ship Eugenie was confiscated, and her Cap tain, Morin, interdicted by the Tribunal of Ilavre for having engaged in this odious traffic.— The Oracle tie Bruxelles pretends, that Austria and Russia would join to compel the new Em pire of Brazil to submit to the Portuguese Go vernment : we consider that Journal to be no Oracle on this subject. [BRITISH PREIS.] Ferdinand's amnesty has not yet been made public, though known to have been prepared and signed on the 28th ult. It is said to be a new roll of proscription, excluding from any present hope numbers of unhappy Spaniards concerned in the revolution ; while the grace and pardon► of the Tyrant extend, it is stated, to few indeed.' The French troops now in Spain have concen trated themselves principally in the fortresses, leaving the greatest part of the open country without a soldier, and only a few detachments to protect the road from Vittoria to Madrid. Ti►e fortresses have been provisioned by them for some moaths. Di Borgo, it is said, was to leave Madrid at the beginning of this month, deeply dissatisfied at his mission, and with a coldness between him and Talaru. He probably found greater obstacles to any cessions he sought, than he at first expected, in the bigotry and obstinacy of the Spanish Despot, and the crew who surround him; and the French Cabinet became as pro bably jealous of Russia. All the designs of Ferdinand's wretched and destitute Government on South America have, for the present, it seems, been given up, in utter, want and despair. There is no longer any mention of an expedition to Lima. The Spanish Treasury is without a ducat, and all the hopes of supply rest on the completion of a new loan in this country, a measure we sincerely trust we may never see accomplished. It is still thought, however,, that the necessities of the tyrants will oblige him to compound, and make a modified recognition of the past loans, as the only possible means of securing n new supply. Thirty to thirty-five is said to be the average amount H at which the • past loans may be acknow ledged. Mr. Rothschild's journey is still said to . he on this subject, and not solely on the ,Austrian loan. WP should be sorry to see Ferdinand successful in supplying his wants again from this country. What confidence can those who advance the money have in the re-payment, at any future period, of this loan, more than of any former one ? Spain has now no resources whatever. The former loans contracted for with the Constitutional Government had the full sane. Lion of the Tyrant ; a part of their produce ac tually supplied, within the palace, his own per- - sonal Wants and those of his family and brothers; vet he now refuses even to recognise them.-- .ilmould there be any change in the Government of Spain again, where is the security for any fu ture loan i None whatever. [MORNING licitALD.] There has been recently a dearth of foreign news—no event of any interest bus been an nounced, except the change of Ministry in Spain. From the elect of this change on the money market in Paris, it must have given rise to same favourable anticipations. These, however, ap pear to have vanished. Those who are best in formed, sad most deeply interested in the matter, augur no good from the nomination of the new Ministers,— and some letters receised from Spain since their accession to office, have placed their characters beyond all doubt.-- They are not, it appears, consistent and violent Serviles, but rather tergiversators, ready to serve any party ruling for the time. — We have already alluded to the unscrupulousness of M. Casa-lrujo—men of this kind are danger ous depositories of power. They have sins to atone for—and pledges to give of their future conduct. This wilt naturally hurry them into excessive zeal—of which they have already given some strong proofs. We are assured upon good authority, that some hundreds of the few remaining respectable Citizens of Madrid have been consigned to prison, exile, and the scaffold s since , the late conflict—not only are the secret tribunals revived and at work, but the executions secretly take place,— and the properties of those who are imprisoned or in exile are pilleged under the name of confis- cation. The amnesty so much talked of had not yet appeared. But it promises to be like that rule 'of the schoolmen which is " eaten up by the ex ceptions." An amnesty of this kind becomes a mockery, or rather something still worse—a pro scription. Ferdinand rages like a wild beast against all who have the least spot of Constitutionalism, on them. It is true that some compromised men have remained in Spain without mo l es t a ti on ; But they must be men who have purchased this base security by treason. If ever the secret history of the invasion of Spain should be written ; it will disclose a system of bribery and treason unexampled. A couple who were married last week, at hill, were detained near an hour in the church., on account 0 some difference respecting the payment of the marriage fees. ,I •- ! ...,,,.. „:, ,:. .. „.-!:,-,=,-:. .:,..•:..

SHEITIILD, Dzc. 13.—The celebration of Mr. PITT'S birthtook place on Thursday last, J. A. S. WORT. Lay, M. P. in the chair. The company was more numerous than on some former occasions, and influenced, apparently, by the zealous attachment of the Chairman to the principles of Mr. PITT, who was as hearty as ever in manifesting a regard for his immortal memory and incomparable character. lire must, to be just, give mr. and Mrs. LAMBERT credit for a most excellent dinner, and wines of a very superior quality ; and must further remark, that at no former time has there been a more general appearance of satisfaction, or a greater display of sound principle and proper feeling among the members of the Club. The proceedings were as follow After the cloth was drawn, " Noe Nobis Domine" was sung, and the following toasts were given from the chair : The King—God bless him.-3 times 3. Songs and Chorus—" God save the King." The memory of his late Majesty George the Third. The Duke of York, the heir presumptive to the Crown. The Duke of Clarence and the other branches of the Royal Family. Glee—." Come, thou monarch of the vale." Mr. Woluet.r.v said, " Gentlemen, it is now my duty to call your attention to the toast which celebrates the memory of the person in whose name we are now assembled. Gentlemen, the toast I have to give you is, " the immortal memory of the . Right lion. Win. Pitt :" and in doing s 6; I say that, as Britons, we should show overselves unthankful for the favours which have been bestowed upon us; if we did not do our best to celebrate the memory of that great man. (Applause.) There have been seasons, when, from the pressure of the times—there have been people, so weak and faint-hearted as to think he had gone too far, and was the means of bringing this country into difficul ties. But we have now gone through those difficulties; and I now ask the people of England to.say, whether they have not reason to be proud of such a man—and have reason, notwith standing the loss of blood and treasure, to rejoice at the final issue of the contest. For years, undoubtedly, we had to struggle with an enemy. Mr. Pitt said to us, " continue, persevere, and in the end you will acquire not only glory, but safety."— Gentlemen, his words have proved to be true ; no such harvest of glory was ever reaped by any country as this during the last war, and we are now the most flourishing, the most free, and the most happy state in the world. If I am told the posses sion thereof has been bought at a great price, I say it is im. possible such a struggle could take place without great sa crifices. Ilut what we have acquired is worth infinitely more than the sacrifices which have been made: and this country has reason to pride itself that it went through the contest in the war it did. Gentlemen, I now conclude by giving you-- The immortal memory of the Right Hon. William Pitt.— Three times three. The Oran SIAN then said— _ _ _ " Gentleroen,—A a this is the first time I had the honour of presiding at this Club, I got my friend, Mr Brown, to put down the toasts which have usually been drank on these occa sions ; and the next toast is one which, by some means or other, the Whigs littVe appropriated to themsaves, and which they are in the habit of giving. I am quite sure that we are as much desirous that the Rouse of Brunswick should not forget the principles which seated them on the throne of these realms as they are .1 and, therefore, I for one am not for allowing the Whigs to appropriate to themselves this toast." The Rouse of Brunswick—and may they never forget the principles that seated them on the Throne of these Realms. Duet.—" All's well." _ next," said the Chairman, " is a toast which I cannot give without making some remarks upon it—lt is the " Pro testant Ascendancy." Gentlemen—You all know that since I have been in Parliament I have voted for the Catholic question; but, I am as ready as any of you, to drink, " The Protestant Ascendancy," for neither I, nor a great majority of those who vote for the Catholic question, have any idea that our doing so will destroy the Protestant Ascendancy. The government of this country is Protestant, and the Protestant Ascendancy must continue if we mean to go on as we have done. While we vote for the Catholic claims we arc under the perfect persuasion that when we do so the Protestant Ascendancy will be duly guarded. The Protestant Ascendancy-3 times 3. Our glorious Constitution.; venerable from age, unequalled in wisdom, inexhaustible in blessings. The Army and Navy. Song and Chorus—" Rule Ilritannit." Mr. WonT LEY, itt proposing the health of "Ilia Majesty's present Ministers, said, " These Ministers were the disciples of Mr. Pitt, and have nobly followed his example." Ills Majesty's Ministers--3 time s 3. May the Principles of Mr, Pitt continue toanimate the Coun cils of Great llritain--•3 times 3. JOSEPH DIX'ON Sitx ti:r ore - , En. then rose and said, " Gen tlemen, I am extremely sorry that it does not fall to a much more able person than myself, to propose the next toast; but, I ant, however, very happy to propose the health of our worthy Chairman. I am sure you will agree, and duly appreciate with me, the honour the President has done us In accepting the chair this day. The Club fors number of years has been very desirous that this event should take place; and until the present year they have not been favoured, on account of our Anniversary being celebrated at thesame time as the London, and other I'i t Clubs. I trust the Club will feel it much better hereafter to have the Anniversary Meeting at some other period Of the year than May. After the manner in which the Chair man proposed the last toast, wishing that the principles of Mr. Pitt might continue to animate the Ministers of this Realm, I think now is a proper time to propose the health of our worthy Chalitllan. " (Great applause.) The Health of the Chairman, Mr. Wortley. , --3 times 3. %lr. WoaTLEY said, " Although I hive scarcely drank a glass of wine this evening, I mean to drink one now. I quite agree with my worthy friend who had the goodness to pinlitme my good health, that it will be better in future that the club should hold its sitting et thin time of the year. Gentlemen,—Whilo I thank you for having done MC the honour to drink my health, I can only r ece i ve in t o as a com pliment to myself from having pursued the line of duty pointed out by Mr. Pitt. Ever since I had the honour to represent this county in Parliament, those who recollect when I was proposed, and when I had the honour of being chosen, I then said I stood forward upon grounds of perfect independence. But the word independence is now used upon all occasions, and, by all parties ; and, if you are to believe the Whigs. it conslat s only in opposition to Administration. I h a ve certainly thought It my duty to support the measures of Administraeon, and I have done it independently ; I thought they wer e right; I am still of opinion that they are right, a n d I d o say, I give inde pendent votes upon those occasions. My view of Independence Is in following the feelings of your O wn m i n d in ascertaining what in your conscience you thing r i g ht ; an d then it is the business of an independent man not be moved either by the hope of reward, by the influence of governm e nt, or to be swayed by his constituents, if he cannot bring his own opinion to that of his constituents. " It has been my fate to ?tit myself in array against a great body of my constituents ; I did it, because in my conscience I thought It was right, anti I was determined to chew to the country that I would be independent. To represent the county of York is the greatest honour a commoner can receive. I be lieve, in my conscience, that the Ministers of this Country have, through the most arduous period, navigated the vessel of state with great skill ; and, in my opinion, they hare brought that vessel into safe harbour. I should, therefore, consider myself ungrateflil to myself and to my constituents, if I did not give them , this Majesty's Ministers) the support of an honest and in. dependent man " Mr. Wortley then proposed—. May the energy of the loyal ever defeat the views of the factious. Glee—" Glorious Apollo." " The next tout," said the Chairman, " is the health of a man to whom we, our children, end our childrens' children lie under great obligations." His Grace the Duke of Wellington-3 times 3. Glee—" The fled Cross Knights." The Chairman gave— The Lord Lieutenant of the West Riding, the Earl of Harewood. May we be sensible of our blessings as a people, and ever ready to defend them. The. Pitt Clubs of the United Kingdom, and the Supporters of the Pitt principles in every part of the world-3 times 3. The Chairman then proposed a worthy officer of the Club, who, from ill health, was unable to attend. Our worthy Treasurer, Mr. Eadon. Mr. WM B . ROWNELL said--." Gentlemen, I rise to do that which 1 am sure our friend, Mr.. Eldon, would have done had he been present—to thank you for the honour you have done him in thinking his health. Ilia political feeling, I am sure perfectly 'corresponds with the feelings of this company, and he has not a sentiment but: what Is accordant with its senti ments . I very much regret his abscnw, and more so the occ as i on o f i t, which is indisposition of no ordinary kind." - The Secretary of the Club, Mr. W. Brownell. W.- BROWNELL then siiid--;“ I assure you, Sir, I ans fully sensible of the flattering compliment that ias been paid me, and respectfully solicit, your and the company's accept.: ance of my sincere thanks. 11'1 thought I should not be tree.. passing too much uponthe time and patience of the meeting. F should feel disposed to make a few observations upon th e oe . easion of it. 1 must admit, however, that the political chit.. ratter of Mr. Pitt has been so often alluded to, and so frequently eulogised by the members of this Society, that almost every thing that can now be said upon it has been already anti: cipated. The opinion that he was not only the saviour of England but of Europe, that his genius influenced .the Continental States, and prompted them to resist the power of a nical usurper, has been often expressed Inv to in terms of enthusiastic applause. His attach !intent to the Constitution ? and firm adherence to the prin. I lciples on which it is established, have also been the theme of „some who are now present; and who, I hope, will meet here for 'tnany years to come, for thepurposeof paying this annual tri lute to his widelY extended an d well earned fame.—(Ap , plause.)—The present time, however, seems to me a peculuutly proper one for manifesting-our approbation of Mr. Tiis's pa. Hey. There are circumstances belonging to it that are well cal culated to justify an approval, and to spew that the principles on which that policy proceeded were essentially the causes that have led to the present, and, I will add, glorious results.—(Ap plause).—Sir, it is to the influence of such causes that we are indebted for the greatly improved and still improving state of our public affairs, is owing to them that we are in possession of privileges that other States are strangers to, that we excel in arms and arts, and have acquired a title to renown which, all things considered, I do not think has its parallel, no not even in the annals of either Greece or Rome, great as they once were, and first in the scale of e mpi res an d of- nations. To place a just value upon Mr. Pitt's principles, we ought to contemplate the effect of opposite ones, and the situatimi in which we should in all probability, have been placed, provided we had followed the counsel of the Whigs. It is my firm opinion, that to have done this would have been to ;five up the government of our public affairs, to have established for ever the Ituonaparte usurpation, and suffered it to dictate what should be our land and maritime force; nay, I question if ere now the entire in. dependence of England must have fallen beneath the over whelming influence of France, and every man in it been sub ject to some branch of the usurpation I have named.—(Ap plsuse.)—ln speaking of the higs, it is scarcely possible to overlook the wretched dilemma to which they are reduced. The genial influence of our own political atmosphere only seems to increase their malady, and make them wretched ; they are evidently distressed for want of a cause of complaint, anti would be more so if France, or Russia, or Prussia, or Portugal, and, in short, the whole Continent, did not abo und with governments suitable to their splenetic purposes, and calculated, as they imagine, to call forth the torrent of their abuse : I speak, Sir, of the ultra Whip, or what some would call Radicals.—(Applause.) —As for the Monarchs who are at the head of those Governments, the tread-mill would be much too lenient a punishment--(a laugh)—for the best, were they half so wicked as the Whigs say they are ; but surely the de signs imputed to them owe their dark colouring more to the sombre imaginations of the Whigs themselves than to any other cause ; they medit a t e u p on some di a b o li ca l scheme in the first place, and then cast about to find a father of it in the next, and whether it be the Russian or any other monarch is of no great im portance—their hatred of authority is gratified, and their was faction is derived from the abuse of elevated station. That the scurrility which is so frequently applied to foreign potentates owes its existence to a motive of this description I verily be lieve, and to prove it there are many recent examples; neither am I sorry that there are such, for Whig disappointment, or at least the expression of it, is a sort of experiment from which we may learn the increase of national prosperity. It would be strange, then, if the politics of such a man as Mr. Pitt were not the subject of complaint, and still more strange if those pa wns who support them were not sometimes scandalised. Inde pendent, as I am sure Mr. Pitt was, if caring for neither ho nours nor riches could make him so, it is a glorious tribute which is paid to his principles, that on all occasions of treason or disaffection they are never to be recognized ; they appear to the most advantage where the love of order is most apparent, and wherever there is a loyal feeling or a wish to promote the kindly influence of peace and prosperity. As a shining exam ple, generations that are unborn may have reason to rejoice in the lofty acquirements of Mr. Pitt; they may regard him as a model of imitation, as • a superior pattern of human excellence, and very justly t h ink they honour themselves by honouring him. i f I did not think that honour was thus reflected, I 'would eay farewell to all, and leave my country, if I could, as a worthless inheritance to any grumbling demagogue or dissa tisfied Whig that would accept of it—(Applause.) " I will no longer trespass upon your attention than merely to observe there is one fact which cannot well be denied, and it is that the voice of discontent has nearly ceased to be heard ; there is little, if any, complaining in our streets. How the case might have been under a Wing administration I have no great pleasure in conjecturing ; but, recollecting what fell from several of the leaders during the last session or Parliament, I am more than half inclined to think our days of lamentation would have included even this day ; and that at this very mo ment, if 1 had been desirous of proposing a sentiment suitable to the times, the least appropriate one could have given is that which appears to me th e m ost appropriate at present, and d. which, although a homely on e , with the Chairman's pemn . e sion, I will give— and ProsPeritY .
