von 1 Woo 1 0 ; rij o e t avoids war of the worst character. France in possession of Spate ancttßeetugel, WOuld'erierease the influence of Despots in holy allianee, who. wouldebe most anxious to surround and sub due bin , island. France had no rightto keep an army on the . 1 frontier to menace Spain, and the:English 31inieter should have been tee last to „testify the existence of such en army Engitcricl; however; appeareneto have no voice upon the sub ject.• The great Lorci•Chatham once said, a sword elaould not he drawn in Europe witlicsitelie knowledge of England. The Missistere' eflhe present- day did not wisheeediave any con tnntl Oget a State in the very act of etaployitee , hostile forces es strike - ineldiously •at her heat and dearest, interests. War Was 'unqueNtionalaly an evil of , the greatest magnitude; but there wee such a thingess national honour, :which ought to he held at a ll e e ents . ' He considered• national honour to be B actificed by the couree puesued , by Ministers. Never before, sincelneland was Engiand, would this country have tamely looked on whilst France over-ran Spain. But the High Ho. nourable Gentleman had said a maritime war would make the wet popular in Prance. This was now to his ears ; for he had the authority of many of the great commercial interests in France, ceps-Deed in their petitions, for supposiug the cone traeye as he was led to believe that the apprehension of the evils which would result front a maritime war, made the present contest unpopular, its they looked to its bringing on eventually a naval contest. He did not consider that a was' now declared. by this country-would be a war against France. It would' be a war merely with the Bourbene, who tyrannised over France. To shrink from such a centest was, in his opinion, dishonoucable and cowardly, and could not but tend to the injury of the Co untry. Such was not the policy which had been pursued in fornler times: 'lle remembered the words which had been used by'one great man in praise of another great mats. They came to ibis, that Lord Chadians so governed the country, that while with one hand he wielded the Sovereignty of England, with the ot h er he struck down the Bour b ons o f F rance . — Chang e t h e position; and te . firbela narrator, as the present G overnment, with on e hand, kept down the democracy of England, while the other sustained the Bourbons in France. The course taken by this conuntry in the late negociations, Ou ght to have b een wholly different. England ought to have said to the Bourbons-.-" You know we are your friends —you know how much we have done for you. We wish ,Y Ol 4 well, an d are anxious to see you rema i n w h ere you era; but if you persevere. in actions like these, England must of necessity becom e your adversary:" This was the language, w hich, m his judgment, ought to have been held. A strong line of conduct could as well be taken with the snoviter motto, as in any other way, and had this been. done, he was satisfied that the Peace of Europe might have been preserved. ,Nothing could have been more unfortunate—no failure could have • been more complete than that of the English ,Ministers in the tilted b y E n late negotiation. He contended that Spain bad beets unfairly gland, and far from thinking the honour, and - dignity of this country had been properly upheld, he was-of oPinion that the part we had taken was dishonoareble to our national c h a r acter, and he anticipated it would after all plunge the co untry in a war under wee unfavourable circumstances t hen those tinder which we s h ou ld h ave entiercel inter the contest. if w e bad at once made common cause with Spain.

In the midst of the tumult an Adjournment 'sees moved, we believe, by Mr. WYsex. The proposal for en iitijourtment eras vehemen t ly opposed. INIr. C. W. WYN N said, as there seemed no prospect of Tinging the debate to a close that night, he thought st advisable that the House should then adjourn. Great opposition was m a d e to t h e a dj ournmen t, a nd the ' cries o f " No, no "e-..“ Withdrawee_ , te a on" . ---" Order," . ace became louder than ever.

If more must attempted they would ultimately be foiled, and they come to the 'debate to-morrow, fatigued, perhaps, wiels two hum' discussion on the question of adjournment, yid thtirrneetioe four dsvisions.

Aftt a short pause, during w hi c h t h e cr i es o f " Go on, go were l ou d , the motion for adjourning the debate wasp withdrawn, on the understanding that it should go on to its conclusion. C. WYNN wished, as briefly as be could, to state hie ;` 4 " 01 ; for preferring the amended Address—The Right lion. 'lnlet/tan proceeded to address the House for some minutes, lo ut the crie s of "Ad j ourn," " Withdraw," and "Go on," were so exceedingly loud, that nothing beside. could- be (lisl e ti netlY heard. " •%. BROUGHAM said, as he had been some measure the came of th e mot i on f or an Adjournment• of the Debate being ( 4 "awn, he would now, as circumstances were different rote what they were before, be rea to act a different part a tal if that motion were renewed it should have his feeble sup ! .

On ":""t grounds therefore he moved that the debate should be vourned, Marl The Members instantly rose and began to retire. Some re , was made from the Opposition side of the House which eta not be heard in the Gallery. aetr. LITTLETON appealed to the candour of the House if veeetendttet deserved to be the subject of a suggestion like that ',v i tt' it had been . thrown out.

" FXRPIG2:AN, Aram t9.—The day before yesterday a battalion of the division of the Baron d'Eroles set out for Cerdagne. Yesterday another battalion set out for Saint Laurent de Cenians, and to-day the Baron, with three bat talions, marched upon Boulon. It is presumed, that the day after to-morrow these three divisions will be assembled in Cate lonia on the same spot. " To-day, about half-Past 11, General Donnadieu arrived. At two, he set out for the head-quarters of the Marshal. Ile left here his Aides-de-Camp, and his equipage. " After all the oscillations which have prevailed, both in the movements of the troops, and in the service of the different ad ministrations, it appears that they were not yet ready to enter Catalonia, but superior orders pushed our troops beyond the Pyrenees." " The enemy is entrenched at the bridge of Molins; the bridge is broken up as well as the road. Two thousand *,Nli quelets, armed like light infantry, without havresacks, having nothing but muskets and eartouch boxes, occupy the defile; they form the advanced guard of a small corps, Which is este ! blished with artillery on the Black Mountain. " In Cerdagne the enemy occupies Molina and Delver. " APRIL 20, EIGHT, 4.11.-iresterday, at nine in the morn ing, Count Curial sent a detachment of cavalry and infantry to reconnoitre, and ihninediately afterwards the division marched• It is said that the brigade of General Vasserot is marching upon Cast ellan. "All the men able to hear anus have left Jonquere. There only remain females and old men." Bayonne Papers arrived this morning. The following are extracts : 44 BAYONNE, APRIL 22.--Letters from Pampe luna, which are still allowed to pass, say that the Governor is resolved to defend himself to the last. The place is very far from being yet closely in vested, and some time will pan before the siege can be commenced.—lfeavy artillery must be brought before it, as well as before St. Sebastian. A soldier, who has just arrived from the corps before that place, says, that nothing is yet in train to attack it. Meantime the bivouac was detestable. The country is destitute of every thing, and the distribution of the rations not very regular. Only single individuals can approach the walls—any number, however small, is fired at. However, measures are arranging for the re gular conveyance of supplies, but the expellee is very great. 46 We cannot imagine how it will be possible to feed the number of horses that will he with the army. Vessels laden with grain continue to arrive here ; they are more wanted at Navarre. The army will have more resources h► Castille ; but still the provinces it leaves in the rear must have a force left to occupy them, and this force must be provided for. 4 g We have just this instant received letters from Spain and Madrid to the Nth. They speak of all that is doing in thg ißterio,r to make a good defence, and to repel fore? 1)y force. All these provinces are punished In an exemplary manner which seek to impe4e the me sores ordered by the government. Thus a heavy fine has been imposed on Ciudad Real, and at Counigua a de cree has been published ? which orders the pro perty of the young men who have j o j ti o t h e royalists to be put up to public sale. " The army of Count Abishal daily re cei ve s reinforcemen;s, especially of Cavalry. Some factious have shown themselves in the environs of Medina Sidonin, but the judicious measures taken by the Political Chief have cougteracted their pint of disturbing the country. The 'news of the entrance of the French army, into 17t Spain had not caused any sensation. at Madrid. — ,The hands of Bessieres, Ulnaan, &c. are reduced to nothing. The entrance of the I,?ortuggese 'troops .into Spain is again talked of.". [FROM A CORRESPONDENtri Srocx EXCHANGE, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 77- 1, at which price they remain steady with little doing. The Ex presses from. Paris bring the French Funds on Monday at tile closing 84f. 75c. They were done previously at 84. 30. Spanish New Bonds 381 to 39. Old Bonds 44. A report prevails on 'Change that Saragossa has surrendered to the French ; but the account rests on doubtful authority. Consols have just been clone at 771.4. FOREIGN MARKET.—This being settling day for all Foreign Stock, all parties are chiefly oc cupied in settling their acconnts. At the close of the Market yesterday two defaulters were an nounced, one a Portuguese and the other a Hebrew ; the first of some consequence, but the latter to a small amount. This morning we un derstand another failure has taken place, said to be a French House, to a considerable amount. ; Spanish, Bonds opened at 33 After another Wag and deeply interesting dis cussion, the debate on Mr. MACDONALD'S motion , was again adjourned at half past one this morn ing. The debate will be resumed in the House of Commons to-night. How must those few pet;- sons, in this country, who have either so igno rantly mistaken the true interest and policy of Great Britain, or who have so basely pandered and prostituted their talents to the further, once of the iniquitous views of the French Go vernment, as to instigate them day after day, and month after month, to the perpetration of that criminal aggression against Spain, which Is .now in progress,—how much, we say, must these persons be now ashamed of themselves, when they find that not a single voice has been heard in the English House of Commons, but in the loud and indignant expression of one coffin= sense and feeling of abhorrence and reprobation of the unprincipled, unprovoked, and perfidious outrage against the rights and independence of nations, which is so notoriously involved in the French invasion of Spain ! The English Public, and the Civilized World, will rejoice at Mr. PEEL'S ho nourable disavowal of the construction which M. de CHATEAUBUIAND put upon what the Righl lion. Secretary had said on a former occasion re, specting the intervention of the Allied Sovereigns with the Neapolitan Revolution,—or rather of the inference which the French Minister had drawn from those observations in favour of the intervention of France with the Government of Spain. The Right Honourable Gentleman, however, has at length proclaimed to the world that he fully participates in the sentiments of his Colleagues, Lord LivEnroor., Mr. CAN NING, and the CHANCELLOR of the E_,NPIIE. : QUER, on the Spanish Question, He has distinctly separated the cases of Spain and Naples. Ha has, with the high sense of honour and the liberal spirit of a British Statesman, admitted that the Spanish Revolution was ne cessary for the safety of the Spanish Monarchy ; and he has not hesitated to apply the epithet " iniquitous" to the conduct of France; Is there any man who can suppose it possible that neutrality can be long maintained, under those feelings of excitement which now obviously agitate the whole British nation, in common with their Government, unless, indeed, (what we have good reason for believing to be the case), our neutrality is the implied condition on which the Continental Allies of France are to abstain from assisting tier in the War ? It is evident that the debate is protracted in the House of Commons, not from any ex pectation that there will be s Oong divi sion against Ministers, but from the , anxiety with which so many Members of the House are desirous of adding strength and golemnity to the grand Protest against the conduct of France, which the proceedings of the House in fact constitute. The effect of the Speeches, when they are known abroad, will he deep, ex , tensiiT, and permanentt The answer to inquiries yesterday after the tlealth of the KING was MS MAJESTY is better." A Meeting was held at the Rotunda Rooms, Dublin, on Thursday, at which a large majority decided in favour of the application of Mr. 0 w EN'S Plans to lreland.—Thanks were given to Mr. OwEs for his benevolent exertions in behalf of the Iri s h peasantry, and thp Meeting, by buzzes and acclamations, cheered that Gentleman, who mildly and unostentatiously bowed hii thanks.
