SOLEM QUIS DIOEDE FALSUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, FRIDAY, MylY 23, 1823. IVe have taken some further extracts from the Paris Papers of Wednesday, the principal con tents of which we were enabled to insert in our columns yesterday, by the arrival of our Express from Paris. We have received no further intel ligence from the Armies in Spain. We extract the following important article from the Dutch Papers received this morning. Our-Readers will observe that it is confirmatory of all that we have said respecting the condi tional neutrality of England in the war between France and Spain : " ST. PETERSBURGII, APRIL 22.—The reports respecting the march of our troops to act as auxi liaries in the South of Europe, are contradicted by persons who are believed to be acquainted', with the secrets of diplomacy. These persons say that the Court of St.Petersburgh had at first resolved to place a considerable army at the disposal of the French GOvernment ; that with this intention not only had communications been made by Count Pozzo di Barge to the French Ministry, but even that orders had been sent to various corps of troops stationed in Poland ; that all this, however, had been given up in conse quence of a declaration from Sir Charles Bagot, the English Ambassador, stating that the neutra lity of Great Britain in the war between France and Spain was conditional, and would continue , only so long as the other Powers of Europe should take no part in the war. The Court of Vienna is said to have delivered a friendly note, breathing the same spirit to the Russian :Go- . v e rnment, which not a little cont r ibut e d' to stop: the measures at first resolved upon by our nistry. Austria exhibits a very wise policy; by endeavouring, to prevent the dankers which would ensue from a general war in Europe. • gf The Minister of Wathas, summoned to the capital several stair-officeri from the Southern and Western Armies, to receive new orders,. which they'are to carry to their respective head-' quarters. It is positively affirmed that Sir Chas. Begot has received from Count Nesselrode; Mi .rdster of Foreign Affairs, a very long note in an swer to the communication which he had made to .the Russian Cabinet, in the name of Lord Strang. ford. It is added, that his Exc'ellency has for.i warded this note to Constantinople, by way of Odessa.' We have also received,,this morning, Bayonne Papers to the 17th. We subjoin the only article which they contain of any interest : " BAYONNE, MAY 16.—Letters received to day from Vittoria, speaks of the continuation of the blockade of Santona by Zabala.—The letters received tosday. from Saragossa state, that the Royalist descamisados commit all kinds of acts of vengeance. " A traveller, just arrived from Pampeluna, affirms, that the garrison of that place had unex , pectedly made a sally with 1,000 men and four cannon, bad attacked the French troops, and bad returned into the place, taking with them a good number of prisoners. " Letters from Catalonia, this moment re ceived, do not confirm the previous statements of the flight of Minn, but say, that according to his favourite system of tactics, he had taken about five or six thousand of his best troops, and entered La Cerdagne, where he had inspired general consternation. Meantime Mar shal Moncey had been obliged to turn round and accept a battle, for which he was not prepared, in the neighbourhood of Fi gueras, into the citadel of which Mina threw some troops to reinforce the garrison. Mina afterwards crossed the Ter, and when the ac counts came away be was at !tip°ll." A Gentleman who has recently arrived in London from Andalusia, informs us that the greatest enthusiasm in favour of the Constitu tion pervades that Province, and that the, inhabitants of all descriptions are flying to arms, 'and are determined to stake their lives and pro perty in the cause of their country. He adds, that generally the whole of the South of Spain is warmly attached to the Cortes, and that any disposition towards the French is confined to some of the northern districts. We hear that an Express has arrived from Paris this morning, bringing the prices of the French Funds, it is said, 89f. 45 c., and of Spanish, at Paris, 46 to 461. We are sorry to see, from several recent Oh eussions in the House of Commons, and particu larly from those on the Bill for abrogating the regulations" of the Spite!fields Silk Manufacture, that the mischievous fallacies generated by a spurious system of Political Economy, have been almost universally adopted by the Mem bers of the Legislature. It has of late be come the fashion to decry all legislative interfer ence with the concerns of the people, and, because it is possible that the enforcement of compulsory regulations may in some instances have been in judicious, to hold it as an incontrovertible pro position that all regulation is equally injurious, unwise, and unjust. In opposition, however, to the strong current of public opinion on this sub ject, we venture to maintain the converse of the proposition, and to contend that the degree of pro sperity enjoyed by the nation always has been and always ' must be in proportion to that of the skill with which scientific principles are applied to its concerns, and the adaptation to them of REGULATIONS well devised and judiciously combined for the attainment of given and un derstood results. No absurdity can be greater than that of inferring from the presumed fai lure of legislative interference, in any number of cases, that. all interference is therefore necessarily vicious ! Even if every Legislative enactment for the direction or the protection of navigation, trade, manufactures, or agriculture, had hitherto been found mischievous in practice, the failure would not justify the assumption, as a principle, that all regulation is injurious, but on the contrary would only prove that the particular regulations so ascertained to be objectionable ought to be rescinded, and that other and better regulations, (rained with the additional knowledge obtained by a more extended experience, should be sub stituted in their place. The fallacy, if pursued to its utmost extent, brings us to this conclusion, that the best Government is no Government whatever; and indeed there are not wanting those who, have gone so far as to lay it down as an in controvertible axiom in political science, the Governments should content themselves with the collection of taxes, and should their People to govern themselves ! But Is t not, on the contrary, demonstrable, tha the perfection of Government would be the uni versal application of the regulating principle to all the great and complex machinery of the national interests, the parts of which, from the absence of skilful regulation and adjustment, so frequently operate in counteraction to, and in collision with, one another? In the very MC of the Spitalfields Weavers, it is admitted, that many advantages have been derived from those regulations which are now so generally condemned as obnoxious. It Is Ad mitted that the Legislative interference with their concerns has diminished the disputes be tween the manufacturers and their workmen, — has kept down the poor's rates i —and has ren dered the weavers, if not always prosperous, at least more prosperous than they would otherwise have been, and generally contented. The only evils which are alleged to exist under the present state of the law, are attributed to the absence of the same regulations, for the other seats of the manufacture, as those which have been so long in operation for Spitalfields. Is it not the obvious remedy for those evils, then, to extend the operation of the Spitallields Act over the whole of the Silk Manufacture of the king. dorn, rather than to repeal the Act'entirely.— Even Mr. WALLACE'S Warehousing Bill con. nue* the protectiou of the Silk Manufacture against foreign competition. The alleged evils , arising from the unequal state of the law within the kingdom, therefore, may be obviated as well by a general enactment, as by the repeal of the particular and partial Statute now in force.— All the competition which can be excited, by inducements to improve the mechanism and skill, and the texture and economy, of our manufactures, should be encouraged ; but we question very much the policy which exposes to a ruinous com petition the value of the human being himself. The blanket manufacturers of Heckmendwike, in Yorkshire, for a time enjoyed an unfair and a most pernicious superiority over their competitors, because they paid a large portion of the wages qf their work peopk out of the poor's-rates ! An enact ment for the general regulation ofwages would have prevented this gross injustice to the parishes,— this ruinous advantage over the blanket manufac-, turers of other districts,—this wretched mode of payment for labour, so debasing and demoralizing in its influence upon the labourers!_WTe hope that Parliament will grant a Committee for the special investigation of the case of the Spitalfields Weavers. We are opposed to the further progress of the fashionable doctrines, however, not so much for their sake, as for that of the great prin. ciples of our navigation laws and of our com mercial system, which are involved in the deci- sien, and upon which depend the continued se curity, prosperity, and power of the British Empire. Limiroor, Mty 21, Half-past Eight o'Olock p.m.—Arrived the Resolution, from New Or. leans. Oil' this port are two ships, one supposed to be the .Nestor, LEE, from New York, which ship passed Holyhead yesterday. ABUSE. OF TUE PRESS.—It iS slloCking to ob serve the virulence which debases the glorious freedom of the Public Press. A Morning Paper speaks as follows of the present King of FRANCE, who, merely as a Gentleman and a Scholar, as well as one whose misfortunes entitle him to esteem and respect, and whose political errors, at his advanced period of life, may rather be imputed to his advisers than to him6elf :—" The BOURBONS seem to have .a cordial attachment to all the abominations of the ancien Regime; and the old Epicure who now fills the Throne will, no doubt, gloat over the accounts he receives of the sufferings of the unfortunate wretches within his dungeons."—ls such language consistent with the dignity of the British character ; and would it be tolerated in France, if applied to the British Monarch! ARRIVAL OF TILE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF SANE WEIMAR. The Prince and Princess:of SAxl: WEIMAR arrived in Lon. don at an early hour yesterday morning from' abroad, on a visit for some time to the Duke And Duchess of Clarence. The Princess is sister to' the Duchess of Clarence, and was in England about 'three years since. The Prince is the son Of the Grand l i hilte of S axe W e i m e r , an d thi s is the first visit of his Serene Highness to England. The Prince and PrinCos, accompanied by their infant Princesses, one of them three and the other five years of age, embarked on board The Fox tiacket, at Ghent, and owing to a favourable wind - they arrived'abont .12 hours sooner than they were ex pected. An express arrived in London about 11 o'clock on 'Wednesday night, announcing the approach of the Rix packet and, in conseenence,, the Duk e o f - Clarence's carriages and servants were dis Patched to the Toler-Stairs. . At three o'clock their Serene highnesses proceeded in the'lloyal Carriages to dui King's Palace, St. James's'. The-Duke and Duchess of Cla. rence arrived in town yesterday morning nt 11 o'clock to meet their Royal Relatives. Yesterday the French Ambassador transacted business at the Foreign ()nice. Yesterday theDukes.of.Yonx and CLAIIENCE visited the KING. Yesterday the Duke of WXLLINGTON had ati audience of his MAJESTY. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE arrived in town yesterday morning front Bushey -park. It is reported that the Prince POLIGNAC has been appointed the French Ambassador to the British Court. It gives us great pleasure to ho able to state, that the KING is so far convalescent as to have signified his intention of being present at Ascot Races. The Races ure this year fixed for the 10th of June, instead of the first Tuesday after Trinity Sunday, as usual—an alteration rendered necessary by other Turf arrangernents.-01/orn ing Ilerukt.) So plentifully laden are some of the gardens with fruit, that from four apricot trees in a gar den near Hammersmith, on Tuesday, the gar dener pulled one hundred and finely four young apricots, in making room for the fruit, that is was deemed advisable to preserve on those four trees. St?unman CIRCUMSTANCE.—A gentleman late ly deceased left to a friend, among a variety of other property, a chest of tools with which be had been accustomed to amuse himself. The leg a t ee having no use for the chest himself, sold it to a Quaker living near Brighton, who on examining it, found in a secret drawer 130 guineas• He immediately waited on the Gen tleman, saying, " Friend, thou didst sell me a chest of tools, but thou didst not sell me thy money—here are thy 130 guineas." The satisfaction of the other party at this consumma tion may better be imagined than described. ALMACICS BALL on Wednesday evening was most bill. Bandy attended ; dancing commenced at eleven o'clock, and did not cease till nearly five yesterday morning. There were upwards of 500 persons of the first rank, distinction, and fa• shion present. POETRY. BIRTH-DAY. HY 11103tA8 1110011 E. " 3ly Ilirth-day"—what a different sound That word had In my youthful years ; And how, each time the day comes round, Less and less white its mark appears ! When first our scanty years are told, It seems like pastime to grow old, And, as Youth counts the shining links, That Time around hint binds so fast. Pleas'd with the task, he little thinks flow hard that chain will press at last. Vain was the man, and false as vain, n° said, " were he ordain'd to run His long career of life again, He would do all that he had done."... Ah ! 'tis not thus the voice, that dwells In sober birthdays, speaks to me ; Far otherwise—of time it tells, Lavished unwisely, carelessly__ Of counsel mock'd—of talents, made Haply for high and pure designs, But oft, like Israel's incense, laid Upon unholy, earthly shrines— Of nursing many a wrong desire— Of wandering after Love too far, And taking every meteor fire, • That cross'd my path-way, for hit star ! All this it tells, and, could I trace Th' imperfect picture o'er again, With pow'r to add, retouch, efface The lights and shades, the joy and pain, How little of the past would stay ! How quickly all should melt away— All—but that Freedom of the Mind, Which had been more than wealth to me ; Those friendships, in my boyhood twin'd, And kept till now unchangingly ; And that dear hothe, that saving ark, Where Love's true light at last I've found, Cheering within, when all grows dark, And comfortless, and stormy round !

This Court was full to an overflow yesterday, the bill of fare having held out that Spring and Neatc would be there.— Spring was present with his arm in a sling, from one of the knuckles of the right hand having been hurt in the recent com bat, and he had . also. a discoloured eye, which a friend of his gave him by accident on his return to London. Neste has not arrived. in London. The sparring was for the benefit of Shel ton. The principal sets-to were as follow : Shelton and Belcher's was a fine specimen of seience, with a strong mixture of give and take. The exchanges and counter.. hitting called forth much applause. Towards the latter end, Belcher was floored by a left-handed bit on the head ; but in the next rounds he dealt out punishment, and became even with his contemporary. Randall and scroggins had a merry set-to, and if Scrogtrins could not keep at equal quickness, his rnerry-andrew tricks caused much merriment. Little Brown and Stockman worked away in real fight. They contended for a stake some time ago, and it was brought to a wrangle. In this turn up there Wa s muc h equality, but Brown got his cork drawn. It was altogether a specimen of - their fight, and in reality it was one w i t h t h e gloves. Neale 7 and Burke made a good set-to, as also Spencer and Whitehead, and others. Spring appeared near the concluainn, and was most cordially received. He apologized for not setting-to, as announced in the bills, in consequence of the l ame h an d. dr. Jackson paid the 4001. battle-money of the late fight to Spring, to convey to his backer. CORONER'S I NQUEST.—Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was held at the King's Arms, Barbican, upon the body of a wretched woman named Mary Martin, who died the day before, and respecting whose death certain reports were in cir culation in the parish of St. Luke, to the prejudice of a respect.. able pariah officer there. The accusation against the officer amongst the lower orders was no less than that he had murdered the deceased, by heating her on the head and body in so cruel a manner that she lingered for five months, and then expired in Nr i ony, of a deep f rac t ure o f t h e s k u ll and a wound in the arm. The evidence adduced afforded no confirmation of the rumour, but went to chew that the deceased died from disease • and the Jury,immetliately returned a verdict—Died natural :kat& Prince Leopold had a nbttnerous party last night at Marlbo rough House. The Bishop of Lincoln entertained a distinguished party at dinner yesterday, at his house in Connaught-place. Lord Saltoun entertained large party at dinner yesterday, at his house in.

Yesterday was a most interesting, day to the natives of the Principality of Wales. , An Eisteddvod, or Meeting of Bards and Minstrels, was held at the Freemasons' Ball. By twelve o'clock about 4tio persons were assembled, chiefly Ladies, which had a most charming effect. Lord DYN - Evon, supported by Lord KEN - YON and Sir WATxxxs Wmuaars WYNN, took the Chair, and opened the business of the day, by calling on Mr. Parry to declare the objects and views of the Cymnarodorion, or Royal Cambrian Institution, which he briefly did, by stating that an historical review of Listaldvod was published in the Wok of Proceedings, together with much other interesting matter, rela tive to Cambrian Literature. Mr. Fritlith Jones was then called upon to state in the Welsh language what had, fallen from Mr. Parry, &c. &c. which he did in a very animated manner, and was highly applauded. - - - A Concert of vocal and instrumental music was perfortned. when Miss Williams, Masters Smith, Parry, and Longhurst, Messrs. Parry, Collyer, .1. Smith, Atkins, and 'Tinney, exerted themselves must successfully. Mr. J. J. Jones on the pianoforte, and Mr. O'Davis, on the Cambrian pedal harp, pertirrmed a very beautiful duetto.— Prichard, Harper to the Gwyneddigien, played Pen Maw, with variations, on the Welsh harp, in a manner that drew down universal applause. About a dozen i'caninion singers were elevated at the back of the orchestra, who sang after the manner of the ancient Bri tons, in alternate stanzas, which quite astonished and delighted the audience; they were accompanied on two Welsh klarps, and the effect was exceedingly national and pleasing. Be tween the first and second Acts of the Concert, the . Noble President announced that the Society's Medal had been awarded to the Bard singing his Poem "Lacan," who was de sired to declare himself, if present. An interesting pause here ensued—when no one answering to the name, Lady Dynever invested Sir W. W. Wynn with the Aledal as Prosy for the successful Candidate, who is supposed to be the Rev. Walter Davies, of Manavon, Montgomerysh;re. Lady Drx•Evoa next presented Mr. T. Jones; of Long acre, a handsome Gold Medal, for his Prize Poem on the revi val. of the Cyntnirtnlorian. The Pitysinrsrw then announced, that two English Essays had been received on the subject proposed by the Society, viz.—" On Ancient Genealogies us illustrative of the Laws anti Customs of the Britons :' but the Authors had not entered so fully into the subject as they might have done, it was there fore left open for another year. To mention all the musical pieces which were admired, would be to enumerate almost all. Masters Smith and Parry sung most delightfully a duet, " The Rovin g Mi nstre l s ;" Mr. Atkins sung a tine song, called " Friendship, peculiar boon of Ileav'n " composed by Mr. J. Jones, Mus. Ilac. Oxon. J. Smith, "Tile death of Llywelyn ;" and Dyer, " Sweet Home;" Miss Williams, " Prince Ma. dog's farewell=" Master Longhurst, " Little Cupid." Many tine glees and chorusses were given with great 011.4, chiefly selected from Parry's Welsh 'Melodies. About three o'clock this very interesting meeting was closed with. our national anthem of " God rare the King," verse and chorus ; when Lord Dynevor invited the members and friends of the Institution to honour Lord Kenyon with their company at the anniversary dinner, which would take place at five o'clock. - • - • ANNIVERSARY DINNER. A very numerous Company assembled at the Ilall by six o'clock, when Lord KENYON took the • Chair, supported by Lord Dynevor and Sir liratkins William Wynn, &e. &c. Many loyal and patriotic toasts were given, followed by songs, duets, and glees, by the professional" tlentlenien who aung in the mornin g . i t is impossible to do justice to the man. ner in which the Noble Chairman presided. ; Pe entered into the spirit and conviviality of the day with that dignity and aff.t- Unity, which ever characterize the true Nobleman. It being the birthday of the lleo of Wynnstay, afforded his Lordship an opportunity of enlarging on the connection ex. !sting between that family and the Principality ; and how much the Welsh School, in particular, was indebted to the /louse of Wynnstay. Sir IVatkin returned thanks, observing, that from the various engagements, : military . , &c. had occupied his time, he had never an Opportunity of visiting the classic ground of Greece and Italy, till lately, and he was proud to say, that he bad the re met w i t h a IVelailwrian, who was con sidered one of the first sculptors of th e age . Lord Uynevor proposed that Sir C. 'Morgan should be no. urinated to succeed Lord Ker.yon, as President for the ensuing Eisteddvod, observing that the meeting of the welsh Bards would next year b© attended by all those who felt a IOW) ,grul veneration for the land that g ave t h em 'bi rt h ; The Pennillion singers were introduced, and they entertained the company with their very extraordinary and charsecteristio performance. The whole of the arrangements of the day were extremely well managed and Mr. Parry's health, as the conductor, was drank with the moat distinguished applause. When the N'oble Chairman gave the Gmyneteagein Society, the Secretary, Mr. firiffith Jones, returned tha n ks, both itt the Welsh and English languages, which drew down universal approbation. Thus ended this very interesting Meeting, which ,refiects credit on the Royal Ctunbrian Institution, and the 'natives of Ctunbria in general. • 111V-zeitTen Vwyn ltrleell byte byth y bo M."
