Certain Tories of South Devon have been feeding the Members for that district at a place called Newton Abbot. The people assembled on this occasion ap pear to have been as obscure and insignificant as the decayed village which their task-masters selected as the scene of operations. With the exception of the Members and, perhaps, half a dozen persons claiming to rite " Esquire ' after their names, the meeting consisted of west-country clodpoles, rude and ignorant enough to serve as capital specimens of the cultivation extant during the Saxon Heptarchy, and sufficiently stupid to warrant a doubt whether they ought to be classed among that genus of the Mammalia, to which LIN- N/EUS has prefixed the title of " Homo Sapiens." With these there may have been mixed up, by way of relieving the monotony of the appearance given to the assembly by so many rustics being huddled together, a few petty, spiritless, toad-eating shopkeepers, who would rather forego conscience than custom—who have no objection to be paraded in the team of Toryism, or even set in the pillory, provided the exhibition " bring grist to the mill." The chair was filled by GEORGE TEMPLER, Esq., who had on his right hand Sir J. YARDE BULLER, and on his left M. E. N. PARKER, Esq., and of whom we are happy to report, that he showed much more discretion than generally falls to the lot of those who occupy the seat of power at the Tory grubberies. He did little more than announce the toasts set down on the paper before him. Whether it was that he did not altogether relish the part he had to play, or that he was well convinced there would be no lack of party slang and absurdity without any effort on his part, we do not presume to judge. No doubt he knew the. capabilities of the Hon. Members who were to play the chief parts in the farce—that is all we mean to say on the point. On the " Army and Navy" being given from the chair, Sir C. DASHWOOD attempted to make a speech, but was obliged to sit down after delivering himself of exactly two sentences. He is by his own con fession —though that was not necessary—a young —w e should rather say green —orator ; and speakers who commit their brilliancies to memory, are apt, when they come to repeat them in public, to get confused and break down. This much, however, is to be made out from Sir C. DAsHwooD's exhibition. He said it had been " objected to persons connected with the service taking part in the political concerns of the country," in which objection we should most cor dially concur, were all " persons connected with the service" as ill qualified as he is for the task. Sr J. YARDE BULLER next appeared upon the stage, and uttered a great quantity of nonsensical drivel. The QUEEN'S Ministers were not worthy of confidence, because (paid this Western luminary) they " acted upon the most extraordinary principle of making every question brought forward in the Cabinet an open question." Was there ever ignorance more gross, or—if ignorance cannot be pleaded—misrepre sentation more flagrant than this ? The real charge against the Government is just the reverse of that which this simple or malicious man would insinuate. The country blames them--and if they do not adopt a different course, will not forgive them—for not making open questions. The Ballot, Triennial Parliaments, and several other subjects that might be men tioned, ought all to be--and, we hope and trust, will be —open questions next Session of Parliament. And what right have the Tories to find fault with open questions ? Are they not implicated in that system ? What do they say to the great question of Catholic Emancipation ?—a question of infinitely greater im portance than any that has ever been proposed by the MELBOURNE Administration ! Was not that made an open question by a Tory Government ? The fact is, the faction fear the effect of questions being left open. It would afford, they are aware, an element of strength to the Liberal Administration, and therefore they exclaim against it, V This wiseacre then chimes into the old tune about O'CONNELL, " the man," he sagely observes. " who, by his conduct in Ireland, had endantnea the sa f e ty of the c ountry, by causing a di s meniberment of it le Thus , it appears that the Liberator has actually re pealed the union. T I M'S is certainly not generally Understood to 1 2.4 the case. The blunderina Ba ronet then goes on to the Irish Tithe questi on , Sri which s u bj ect we have it stated that th e Whigs withd rew t h e appropriation clause, " solel with a view of emb arrass i ng the settlement of a q ues t' tion of considerable importance to the peace and pros perity of Ireland I" This thick-headed personage Winds up his oration by assuming for his party the credit of being 44 the staunch adherents of their lovely QUEEN." We hear a great many pro fessions of attachment made by certain sections of the Tories towards her MAJESTY ; we .see some things in the conduct 'of others that arc not a ) Ittleit'.iaiiiinee with such professions. For example, the SeiiiiisVie - ptesentative Peers had a dinner the iaftgrate their election to their high :~- . , Y~ I` A _/•{\ _~~~~/4/ a s TIM SUN, LONDON, TIMES DA Y.

The rtimoorm of ati attempt having been made by ACIIAIET BEY to conciliate France are contradictory and improbable. The Semaphore of Marseilles and the Toulonnais both deny that the reports alluded to arc worthy of credit. Indeed the best proof of the contrary is supplied by the fact that France is making active preparations for a grand expedition against Con stantine. From Spain the Paris journals have no news of a later date than the accounts received yesterday. An nexed are extracts from them relative to the state of affairs in the Spanish capital. We vouch not for the accuracy of any statement made by the Madrid Cor respondents of the Paris papers : Several Journals have spoken lately of the plan of the party of Arguelles to appoint a Regency at Madrid. The Phare, of Bayonne, of the 9th, gives this news as coming direct from Madrid, with interesting details. MADRID, SEPT. 2.—" Great efforts are making here to excite a revolt, but there is so much dissension, that the plotters have not yet been able to bring together the two extreme parties to undertake their plans. " There is also a diabolical plan, of which I will speak more in detail when I have the requisite information. It is to deprive Queen Christina of the Regency. This project is certain, and there is no doubt that the new Ministers, except M. Pita Pizarro, are among the conspirators. The majority of the Cortes is also concerned in it, and the great difficulty is the employment of the means to attain their object. The English agents are accused of being the prin cipal instigators of this project." Marian), SEPT. 3.—The project which I mentioned yesterday is more advanced to day, and I know some of the details. The proposal will be made by the Carlo-Jacobin Firmin Caballero, who has come to an agreement with the majority. It is thought that this question will be discussed in a secret Committee, for much abuse is to he allowed against the Queen and the Camarilla. lam assured that the cases of the accusation against that Princess are al ready settled, and the French Ambassador will be included, because it is absolutely determined to implicate him in the plot, which will be alleged to exist between the Queen and the moderate party. The persons whom it intended to nominate for the re gency are already fixed upon. They are Messrs. Ar guelles, Gil de la Cuadra, Sanatra, and Caballero. All be long to the majority of the Cortes and the Calatrava-Men dizabal party.—Le Commerce. FRENCH FUNDS.—Pants, Sep. 12. Five per Cents., 1081. 45c. 40c. 5Pc. 45c. Four and a Hal nor Cents. 1 ,, 2f.

Advices from Lisbon of the 6th inst. have been re ceived this morning. The rebels occupied pretty nearly the same positions which they did at the date of the last arrivals. All fears of an attack upon the capital had subsided. The Viscount DAS ANTAS, Commander of the Portuguese Auxiliary Legion in Spain, addressed a letter to the QUEEN from Burgos, dated the 14th ult., and signed by all the officers of his division, denouncing the rebellion of SALDANHA, and offering to march against the enemies of the Con stitution. On the sth inst., Viscount DA SA BAN DEIRA returned to Lisbon from Santarem, where he had an interview with the Baron BONIFIM, then in pursuit of the rebels under SALDANHA. The Government was preparing to reinforce the garrison of Oporto, as the rebels mustered strongest in the vicinity of that city. We have no further accounts of the intrigues of the Court, or of the measures of self-preservation which the Cortes mean to adopt, if driven to the last ex- tremity. We are persuaded that the Constitution has not more dangerous enemies than the QUEEN and Prince FERDINAND ; and therefore it is of the last importance that Ministers should guard against their intrigues. Much, however, will depend upon the result of her MAJESTY'S accouchement. The birth of an heir to the crown will stimulate the activity of the rebels, and quadruple the anxiety of the QUEEN to extend at every hazard the prerogatives of the crown. Even were the Constitutionalists to triumph now, future attempts will be made to destroy the representative system in Portugal. FERDINAND is at heart a despot, and the restraints imposed upon him by the Constitu tion arc insupportable. The QUEEN is a spoiled child of fortune. Badly educated, and worse coun selled, she is astonished that her subjects should think of prefering any form of Government to that dictated by the royal pleasure. Her ambition is to queen it right royally, and her husband and court are constantly ringing in her ears that her adoption of the Constitu tion has reduced her to a mere cipher in the State. It is, therefore, not surprising that she gives what coun tenance she can to SALDANIIA, and the rebels ; though it is the bounden duty of the Cortes to supply by their firmness and patriotism what is defective in the opinions and habits of the Sovereign. General BACON continued a prisoner on the 6th. The Government still wanted him to quit Portugal, but he refused to stir before obtaining a settlement of his claims. We have no accounts of the part taken in these transactions by the British and French Mi nisters. Since the above was written, we have received a Second Edition of the Times, from which we extract the following documents furnished by our Contempo rary's Lisbon correspondent. The infamous article from the Nacional is directed against Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN, and manifestly conveys a threat of as sassination. 'We trust it will not fail to attract the notice of our Government :--. (From the National of the 4th instant.) " It is in this capital that the chief club of the Devorista party, composed of cowards and v ill a i ns , l a b our i ncessantly and openly, shielded by a foreign diplomatist, and, within his own palace. If the houses of diplomatists are inviolable, let them not be the focus of the revolutionary party. For the present we merely remark, that if the hotel of a lega tion is foreign territory, the streets of the capital are Por tuguese ground. We have already spoken clearly enough, and shall soon speak more clearly. Let us for the present be understood. Let the Government take the necessary measures with respect to this diplomatist, who is well known to all of us. The moment is critical. Indignation keeps silent in the heart of every true Portuguese. Let not des peration succeed it. " We are not enemies to the English : he is greatly de ceived who thinks we are. We have no indisposition to wards this or that personage, merely because he is a fo reigner ; but only towards those who, forgetful of their most sacred duties, unduly intermeddle in our concerns. W e re spect the English nation, but we cannot tolerate that any in dividual from abroad, whether invested or not with a public character, should pretend to dictate laws to us, at the same time that we are supposed to be independent, and that he should insist on trying to make his opinions, views, and even caprices prevail ; thus abusing the public patience which, in truth, has been exemplary. We feel no antipathy to foreigners endowed with good sentiments, whatever their political creed may be, but for this it is necessary that they should remain neutral in our country. When the question of our life of death is thki natitolal lode petActiee Is treated or—hh cotisid,ration whoo , et strain us from raising Our voices itimily against an* one who attempted to bend our necks to the odinfis kOke nF Ftwelgners.

Portuguese, be on the alert, treason is the strong weapon of our enemies! " ' To avoid bloodshed is °ter conscientious wish, but with6tlt dangek tb the Ea the; NI defend and if those Vandals, yet thirsting- for blood, be absoltitely befit tiptin following up their desolating warfare, blood we will have and ours shall not be the last that shall mingle in the same stream with theirs.' " The temporary indisposition under which the Qneei laboured a few dayg tinat has disappeared, and we are led to suppose, from the information at the Palace, that her Majesty's accouchment may not be expected before the middle of the prepent month. " Exchange upon London at 30 days' sight, 570. per milree ; discount on ex-paper money, 37 per cent. " This goes by the Manchester steamer, via Liverpool, which starts immediately. " P.S.—ln the sitting of yesterday in the Cortes, the Minister of the Interior confirmed, in a great measure, the following news relative to the adhesion of the Portuguese Auxiliary Force in Spain to the cause of the Charter. " The Spanish Auxiliary Force marching down from Braganza to join Saldanha, is composed of one Cacador and two infantry regiments, one squadron of cavalry, and half a park •f artillery. I have this moment been in formed of the arrival in town, this morning, of the Vis count de Sada Bandeira en route for Oporto, he find ing it impossible, owing to the movements of the Baron de Leiria, to reach that city over land. " N.B.—From the continuation of strong northerly winds since the departure of the Delight and Pantaloon packets, it may be conjectured that the letters of this ves sel, the Manchester, will be in London previous to their mails ; I therefore inclose you duplicates of my corres pondence and other documents sent by them. " The Diario do Governo of this day is not yet pub lished. The Nacional, which has this moment appeared, I send you. I enclose you the supplements of the Diario of yesterday." Most illustrious Sir,—On the 28th inst. we left Leiria at 4 o'clock in the morning, the weather being cloudy. On arriving at Campo du Ferin we got sight of the rebels. We immediately put ourselves in fighting order, and marked with our artillery on the main road, flanked by two columns of infantry, and our cavalry in the rear. The fir ing commenced towards mid-day, and continued very vio lently for two hours. It was kept up on some points chiefly on our left, but the enemy were repulsed on the right, where the two Marshals and their Staff had taken their position, and where the greater part of their force was united. A charge of cavalry was ordered, and on their approach the rebels shouted out " Viva, viva," some adding, " The Constitution of 1822," on which the soldiers lowered their swords, and remained stationary in front of each other without coming in contact. At this moment Marshal Saldanha and the Duke of Terceira cried out, " Baron Bomfim, let us avoid the effusion of blood ;" to which I replied, " Let your troops retire, and I will order the firing on my side to cease." This was consented to, and we afterwards agreed to an armistice, the terms of which you will find inclosed in duplicate. " I cannot in justice refrain from mentioning to your Ex cellency, that all the troops behaved themselves with incre dible valour, the Cacadores, No. 2, particularly—they may be equalled, but never surpassed. The artillery was served with the greatest precision and skill, and the officers showed a sang froid and discipline worthy of imitation ig the best troop. It would be unfair to mention names, when all exerted themselves in an equal degree, but some, from the peculiar position they were placed in, were enabled to show skill combined with valour. Among these I may point out the Lieutenant-Colonel of the .sth, Luis Borges Cardosa, Commander of the Cavalry, and the Gallant Vis count Sada Bandeira, who immediately on the appearance of the enemy, offered in his usual generous manner to lead the cavalry to the fight, which ho did with that spirit he has always evinced, and contributed much to the fortunate re sult of the day. '• It is also proper for me to mention the bravery and gallantry shown by Major F. Pedro Celestino Soares, Se cretary to the Viscount Sade Bandeira, who also offered his services to me, and did me most important services, di recting with the greatest cleverness the operations of the left wing of the line. " The staff also co-operated most efficaciously. I am sorry not to be able to mention names, as all behaved in a manner not to be exceeded. " I cannot state if the loss of the enemy is great in num ber, but it certainly is so far as regards rank, since they lost the Baron de Sao Cosme, the Cunde de Redinha, the son of the Count of Villareal, who lost his leg by a cannon shot, and the son of Monsinho de Albuquerque, who was run through the body with a lance. " We had about 40 men killed and wounded, 8 of the former, and among the latter Captain D. Jose d'Alencastro of the 4th Infantry, Jou de Sa Nogueira, and my Aide de-Camp Luis Travassos Valdes, who received some contu sions, and was slightly wounded by a sword. " I will give your Excellency more minute particulars in my next, not wishing to delay the communication of the more important events of the day. The bearer, Major F. Pedro Celestino Soares, who was an eye-witness of them, will be able to supply any deficiency. -- . - " BARON DE BOMFIM, " Campo de Chao da Feira, August 28. " To his Excellency Viscount Babeda, Minister of War. " I omitted to state that I have made prisoners five officers and some soldiers." ARMISTICE. " The undersigned agree to the following articles:— " 1. The troops under the command of Baron Bomfim shall march to Leiria, those under the command of the Marquis Saldanha to Alcobaca, keeping their position this night at Aljubarotta. "2. On the 30th inst., at ten o'clock in the morning, Commissioners from both sides shall meet at Aljubarotta, to agree as to the means of avoiding the effusion of Por tuguese blood, agreeably to the wishes expressed by the Marquis of Saldanha. " 3. Hostilities shall cease, until the contrary be declared, on either side, with forty-eight hours' notice. "BARON de BOMFIM, " MARQUIS de SALDANHA. " Camp, near Carvalhos, Aug. 28, 1837."

" Most Illustrious Sir,-1 was in great anxiety about the march of the force under the command of Baron Casal, for I had heard from the rebels (and subsequently from tie General himself) that he was at Rio Mayor, notwithstand ing my repeated requests, forwarded to him by express, not to attempt to march on by the main road, as the faction had in view to attack him in that quarter. " Yesterday night I sent my aide-de-camp, Joze Bento Valdes, and the worthy Mayor of Porto de Moz, Joao Pessoa de Amorim, to endeavour to meet the Baron de Casal, and to order him to march without delay towards Porto de Moz, and from thence with the least possible delay to this city, here to unite his forces with those under my command. They have just returned, after having tra velled during the whole night post, having met that force, consisting of 200 cavalry (including 80 Municipal Guards) and 400 infantry, and I expect their momentary arrival here. " This morning Senator Costor Cabrel, a deputy of the Cortes and Captain Guerra left this for Aljubarotta as commissioners to receive the proposals of the rebels. They have not yet returned, but as I expect they will arrive late, and I have nothing else worthy of communicating, I con clude this to enable me to send off the courier immediately.

" To his Excellency Marquis de Saldanha, &c." Advices from Constantinople of the 23d ult. have reached us. On the 20th, the SULTAN witnessed the launching of four vessels of war, built by Mr. F. RHODES, an American naval architect. The largest was a frigate of 60 guns, the second a brig of 18 guns, and the other two large cutters. The cere mony of the launch was very imposing. The astrolo gers were present to fix the auspicious moment ; and not only was the SULTAN present, but a pavilion was erected for the accommodation of his Highness's harem, from the curtained windows of which a galaxy of the brightest eyes in the East were visible. When the vessels were launched, the SULTAN sent a purse of 20,000 piastres to Mr. RHODES, accompanied with expressions of admiration for the abilities of the ar chitect. The advices from Egypt are to the Bth ult. They are, however, wholly unimportant. It was reported in Constantinople that the Russians had met with numerous reverses in Circassia, and that the Imperial Generals were so sick of the campaign, that they had jointly recommended to the Russian Cabinet a plan for establishing a peace between the EMPEROR and the mountain tribes.

DREADFUL FIRE IN THE STRAND.—THREE LIVES LOST.—This morning about a quarter before four o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Harris, India-rubber manufacturer, No. 48. It appears that the flames were discovered raging in the back part of the shop by ono of the police. The policeman immediately sent intelligence to the Fire Establishment station in Chandos street for assistance, and on the arrival of two engines, two persons were seen at the second floor window calling out loudly for help. The flames at this period was spreading with astonishing rapidity, and the confusion oc casioned by the persons that had assembled was be yond description. In a very short time a fire-escape, belonging to the Society for Protection from Fire, was con veyed to the spot, but in consequence of the persons who had brought it being inexperienced, it was of no use. The Brigade from Chandos-street exerted themselves to the utmost, but, owing to the fury of the fire, they unfortu nately could not approach the premises near enough to put up their scaling ladders, and the consequence was that the poor creatures perished. Within a quarter of an hour after the intimation of the fire, the building from bot tom to top presented one entire blaze. The fire was not got under till near six o'clock. The damage done is great ; the whole of the premises, No. 48, destroyed, and the houses on either side partially consumed. About seven o'clock the bodies of the sufferers were found in the ruins, burnt in the most shocking manner. and proved to be Mrs. Harris, her girl, about six years old, and female servant. The bodies were conveyed to the workhouse, whore they will remain until the result of an inquest, which will be held to-morrow. In what manner the fire originated no idea can be formed ; there was gas on the premises, but whether it was occasioned by that, is not known. There were eight persons in Mrs. Harris's house ; the rest, we understand, escaped by the roof, and scrambling over the roofs of houses adjoining. The engines continued to play on the ruins till nine o'clock, by which hour all danger had ceased. _ . MUSICAL FESTIVAL.-Every arrangement of itn portance connected with the grand musical display at Bir mingham next week has been brought to a successful ter mination ; and the public•mind now beats high with expec tation. The town is and has bean for some weeks in a state of complete bustle ; and the indications of a brilliant result are too obvious to be mistaken. Filled as the orchestra will be with all the great musical talent of the day—vocal and instrumental--native and foreign—the auditory, it is already ascertained, will include most of the distinguished and well-known amateurs of the country. The perform ances will, as at the last Festival, conclude with a grand fancy dress ball, for which novel preparations are making ; and if the number of characters be at all in proportion to the ample facilities afforded on the occasion, the gay and splendid throng will exhibit every variety of costume that ingenuity can imitate. The ball is patronised by most of the resident nobility and distinguished families around. We regret most sincerely to state that Mr. David Prentice, who for a period of twenty-six years conducted the Glasgow Chronicle, is now no more. He died at his house, Mainhill, parish of Old Monkland, on Thursday last. In private life Mr. Prentice was much respected ; and many individuals who knew him intimately will long retain a grateful remembrance of his generosity and warm-hearted n ess.— Glasgow Constitutional. Mr. Prec" tice was for many years the distinguished editor and joint proprietor of the Glasgow Chronicle and Jou,nal. He was grand-nephew to Thomson, the poet, and possessed, in an eminent degree, the kindness of heart and other great qualities of his illustrious relative.—Glasyotv Courier. Mr. Burnaby, who has for some years filled the situation of second clerk at Bow-street office, has received his appointment from the Home-office as chief clerk, in the room of the late Mr. John Stafford.

On Thursday the town-crier of Petersfield published the following notice :—" Notice is hereby given that Phi lip Turner, of Buriton parish, pauper, intends taking him self a wife. You scoundrels, who have any objection to this resolution, come forward and state it this day, or ever after hold your peace." Turner is upwards of seventy years of age, and is just come into possession of the means of keeping himself respectably and independently. - COMMERCIAL IN'f ELLI G ' (THIS DAY.) ri_ ch and The rner:Antile information broug,s l A by the Fi sc Flanders rnails, the only ones in town this inor.lioLr c % , a sonic interest, and that part of their contents ill frO found or to, underneath-ship letters f r om Jamaica, Lisbon , Cadiz, P .ll vt .

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS• The first steam-boat built at Antwerp will be launched oa the 14th of this month. It is to be called the Ank werpen, and is built by M.

It is to be employed in th e room of the Princess Victoria, which is to ply between Harnburgh and Antwerp as soon as the Antiverpoi fitted up, which will be done with all speed. M.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. IL—The section of the iron rail-road between Malines and Louvain, was opened yesterday morn ing : with much solemnity. The Burgomaster has anno unce(' that the committee of the iron rail-road from Brussels t° Mons, has decided that the station at Brussels shall belt' the interior of the city. It seems that the return of their Majesties will not take place till about the 15th of this month. The King 1 1 caused his thanks to be transmitted to the magistrates o Louvain for the fetes which they intended to give him en the opening of the iron rail-road. His Majesty will no t ' go again to the camp at Beve r l oo , as was expected. c " neral Hurel is to go to-morrow to break up the camp. ANTWERP, SEPT. 11.—Th e f unera l o f M.

In the present instance, that part of the ceremony was omitted. We believe the QUEEN'S health was not openly obj ec t e d to by any of the Peers ; but they sat as if they had been glued to their scats. Is this Aristocratic gallantry ? We fear we must after this agree with 13 URKE, " the a g e of chivalry is gone." Tuesday the 77,!•rts amused itself with pelting Mr. O'CoNeTELL and the Catholics of Ireland with the " dirty rags" and " bits of rotten wood" exhi= bited by a " silly and superstitious old man ftt the Va tican ;" and this morning the fliVaid—having taken rim to think Seriously of the matter—undertakes, in a most religious frame of mind, to prove that Ireland is indebted to her connection with England for the " curse of Popery !" Ireland, according to silly old Grandmamma, was Protestant before the invasion of HENRY IL—an assertion, by the way, which, if cre dited, would, in the opinion of the Tories, justify Ire land in for ever execrating a connection with this country. But Grandmamma is mistaken upon this point—having merely copied one of Parson O'SUL LIVAN'S rhetorical flourishes at a spinster assemblage of the saints in Exeter-hall. The Irish ecclesiastics who assembled in council at Cashel in 1172, to discuss the provisions of Pope ADRIAN'S Bull, never once thought of disputing the supremacy of the Holy See —and what is more—they did not introduce a single ordinance or ceremony by way of qualifying themselves to become members of the Church of Rome. Besides it is now, we believe, generally admitted, that what Grandmamm a calls " Protestantism, " was not re cognized as a rule of faith and observance by any religions community in the world before 1525—a fact which refutes all that is stated about the Protestantism of Ireland before the landing of HENRY 11. and his Barons on the shores of Waterford. Protestantism in a modified form, viz., the Protestantism of the Eng lish and Scotch Dissenters—the Protestantism which abjures hierarchies, and anointings, regal and ecclesias tical—did exist in the world long before a Church Reform was heard of in Germany; but such Pro testantism never existed in Ireland. Besides, not only the falsehood, but the absurdity of the assertion of the Herald is proved by the tenacity with which the Irish Catholics have adhered to the religion of Rome. Is it to be supposed for an instant that a nation which, when invaded by HENRY 11., possessed a knowledge of the Christian religion, "pure and undefiled," would plunge at once, and without the semblance of a struggle, into what the Herald calls the " impiety of Romanism ;" and yet endure three centuries of op pression rather than re-profess those pure and undefiled dogmas which it before relinquished ? The idea is ri diculous, and, therefore, the reasoning of Grandmamma only deserves to be laughed at. In her dotage, the Old Dame is always discovering mares' -nests. c beg the public attention to an article in an other part of The Sun, which we have copied from our excellent Contemporary the Northampton Chro nicle, detailing a case of gross ecclesiastical op pression. Madrid Journals to the sth inst. inclusive have been received this morning. They contain no intel ligence of any interest. The Cabinet continued to hold together, though neither supported by the en thusiasm of the army nor the sympathy of the people. No account had reached the capital of the victories of ESPARTERO after his junction with ORAA at Daroca. The Provincial Junta of Lower Arragon addressed a formal protest to the QUEEN, dated the 29th ult., against the military insurrection at Aravaca, which led to the dissolution of the late Cabinet. The following extract from it is levelled against ESPARTERO-who, by this time is likely to have encountered the Arra gonese advisers of her MAJESTY face to face : " Let the Government of your Majesty show itself firm and strong ; let it draw closer the bonds of military disci pline, which must be rendered the more rigid as the limits of liberty shall be the more extended—such are the warnings of history from the times of civilized Rome down to the virtuous Washington. If, however incredible it may be, there come forward a monster so unnatural as to presume to encroach on the prerogatives of the nation and of the throne, sanctioned by the Constitution of 1837, which your Majesty and the noble people whose destinies are committed to you have lately sworn with so much enthusiasm to ob serve and uphold, let that monster be outlawed and devoted to public execration and vengeance. Such are the senti ments and wishes of the audience of Saragossa, of all Ar ragon, and, we may say, of the entire nation, save a few corrupt and perfidious individuals, and the undersigned de clare to your Majesty that they are determined to use their utmost exertions, and risk their lives and fortunes, to pro mote the ultimate triumph of the liberal cause." This is fearful language in which to address a So vereign I The Emancipation, a Toulouse journal, has the foll Owing rcmaiks on the present state of Spain. Without immediate intervention on the part of Eng land and France, we fear the worst anticipations of the writer will be shortly realized : " Spain has at present, as France had previous to its re volution, its divisions into hostile classes, its Court, its no bles, its clergy, its tiers etet. Its situation is similar ; the circle in which it turns the same. It has its oppressive and wilfully blinded Aristocracy ; it has its temporising wa voters, and its traitors. It has its Dumouriez in Espartero ; its Girondins, who will ruin it as they would have ruined France. A Pretender foments anarchy and conceives hopes of absolutism in the country ; a Vendee is burning in its very bosom. Coalitions are preparing which must and will soon explode. There is no other issue from its desperate condition comprehensible but such as France found. All enemies of liberty, all base and slavish souls, all publicans and pharisees, will be driven from the soil. A convention will be called, and Maria Christina, Isabella, and all the old family of the Bourbons, as worn out in Spain as it was in France, will fall from power. Those who have conspired for the ruin of the country, those who have sold its honour and security, dilapidated its fortune and counted its blood as nought, shall meet their punishment. The people, called to arms, will proclaim liberty and equality, crush the fa natical Vandee of Spain, grow young and vigorous by trust ing its armies, Ministries, and Legislation, to hands young and vigorous, and then shout the formidable cry to all Eu rope, Spain is free Then, and then alone, will there be salvation for her." On the military movements in the Peninsula, the Journal des Debals has the annexed pertinent obser- vations : " The Carlist army has not known how to profit by the instant of vertigo and revolt, during which the constitu tional army seemed little in a state to defeat a vigorous at tack. No more have the Carlists profited by the check of Buereas to attack Oraa before the arrival of Espartero. If they have not even attempted to seize the advantages which offered, it is probable that the reason lies in their not having a sufficient strength. For a month Don Carlos has been cantoned in the mountain s of Teruel, Albar rack, and Cantavieja, master of all Lower Arragon from Belchite to the mouth of the Ebro, and manoeuvring on the skirts of Old Castile, without passing its limit. Oraa, Espartero, and Blows,' occupy Calatayud and Daroca, on the great road from Saragossa to Madrid, to cut off Don Carlos from the two Castiles. Zariategui maintains him self in the mountains of Quintanar, Ontoria, and San Leo nardo, between Burgos and Soria, where he has taken pos session of the fort of Salts de los Infantes. " Mendez Vi o, Captain-General of Old Castile watches this new focus of insurrection, and assembles his troops to attack it nearer. Espartero, on his side, watches to inter cept the commun i cat i ons b etween Cantavieja and the mountains of Soria. Affairs will remain in the same state until Espartero determines to penetrate with all his forces into the cantonments of lion Carlos, or until the Carlists imagine and execute some unexpected advance, like that of Zariategui upon Segovia. In Catalonia the Carli,ts arc almost entirely masters of the upper country, with the ex ception of San Juan de las Abadessas. Their General, Urbistondo, displays military qualities and humane sentiments which do him honour. The Baron de Meer, not having sufficient force to occupy all the strategic lines of the pro vince, contents himself with marching about, rt the head of 1,000 men, to the menaced points, and defeating the projects, of the enemy. Thus he has twice forced Urbistondo to raise the siege of San Juan de las . Abadessas. In Na. 1 /411
