Government and the resident landlords of Ireland must immediately and earnestly emulate each other in endeavouring to afford occupation to the destitute peasantry across St. George's Channel, otherwise starvation and insurrection are not merely possibili ties, but certainties. During the calamitous history of that neglected and abused country an autumnal season never commenced with so many appalling auguries of scarcity in provisions. If anything were requisite to excite commisseration in the minds of the local and legislative protectors of the Irish population, the spectacle of rottenness pre sented by their potato fields would be amply sufficient. The thousands of acres, upon the pro duce of which that population had alone cal culated for subsistence, present an aspect of utter desolation ; miles upon miles in the neighbourhood of the larger towns, as well as of the more secluded villages, are beheld fields in which the murrain has taken such a destructive effect, that their proprietors are unwilling to submit to the expense of digging. So desperate is the condition of the poorer classes already, that, according to the opinion of a very credible eye-witness, an outbreak is unavoid able, unless precautionary measures be taken forthwith. Indeed, it would be the acme of credulity to repose in a confident expectation that thousands will voluntarily submit to the gradual and excruci ating torments of famine while there are plump oxen within reach, palatable swine worth the killing, and stores of meal but indifferently guarded. An out break under such aggravating circumstances is one of the most natural movements to anticipate. The time-honoured principle of meum and tuum is incon trovertible by a conscientious logician, but it resolves itself into a sheer absurdity when regarded by a starving populace. One by one, as the encroachments of hunger are experienced by the multitude, are the reiigious sentiments, the promptings of reason, and the kindlier dictates of the heart, subverted. And hence, instead of feeling astonishment at this notion of an ultimate display of insubordination, we confess ourselves to be somewhat amazed, and to be alto gether inspired with admiration at the patience, and the meekness, and the self-imposed tranquillity with ss - hich the impoverished Irish have sustained all their preceding sorrows. Talk no longer of the lawlessness of the Irish peasantry, of their ingratitude, of their predisposition to crime and insurrection! T e ll us no longer of their being little better than ignorant and intractable barbarians ! Their conduct during so many and such terrible afflictions; the tranquillity which was preserved even in those awful moments, in 1845, when they shut themselves up in their hovels to despair of human succour and to die ; the un repining submissiveness with which, according to the language of the Parliamentary Blue Book, on the Relief of Distress in Ireland, page 225,, they "actually subsisted on food made from the wash' of a starch yard, food but indifferently suited for pigs"—all these circumstances are an ample testimony of the capa bility of this poor peasantry for better things. "If the next crop fails us, it will be the end of the world with us !" said a labourer to Captain PERCIVAL, on the 25th of last May. Feeling thus intensely the pri vations to which they were abandoned, these simple minded people still continued amenable to the na tional Legislature. Cherishing the domestic affec tions more sedulously, perhaps, than any other race upon the surface of the earth, the peasants could be hold the sufferings of their wives and children with out resorting to violence for their alleviation. A few sacks of meal and pollard were, without doubt, car ried off from the waggons and the storehouses, but the depredation was committed by parties of habitual depravity. A bullock or so was occasionally tre panned, but the abductor was invariably some one blessed with a notoriously bad reputation. Assassi nations, and mutilations, and murders were of no unfrequent occurrence, but those dastardly sins were attributable more to distinct associations, as the Rockites, Molly Macguirism, Ribbonism, and the like, than to any affinity to bloodshed on the part of the collective community. We can confidently un dertake to say that many eminent virtues have been evinced in an eminent manner by the Irish peasantry during their grievous and protracted privations. Patience and long-suffering, gentleness of heart in the midst of every conceivable temptation to brutal force and ruffian depravity, forbearance under the most insolent neglect and subordination, when goaded on to insurrection by hunger and disease! These beautiful instances of submission to the decrees of DIVINE PROVIDENCE are a testimony of that natural piety and that innate generosity of dis position, which, if suitably responded to, would in sure, not only the happiness of themselves, but the greater prosperity of the whole empire. Even when charging at Waterloo and in the Peninsula to the sound of " Garryowen," Irish bravery was never more signally demonstrated than during these months of provisional and pecuniary destitution. Assuredly the Legislature and the landlords should correspond to these virtues in the population : such national merits should not pass unrewarded, much less be followed by an abandonment to death either by inanition or contagion. We have already expressed our sentiments very explicitly on the Government grant of 50,0001.; we have maintained that such a stunted bounty is al together inadequate for the relief of a quarter of even the existing destitution, and that, consequently, it w ould be but a paltry corrective to the vastly extended destitution which time must necessarily develop. On this particular we can now, however, rest perfectly satis fied. The Ministers, for their own sakes, for the sake of the nation, and for the sake of humanity, will have a reservation in case of any extraordinary emergency. Nothing need be dreaded from the apathy of the legislative officials. We must now turn with an anxious and scrutinising interest to the efforts of the Irish landlords for the assuaging of the miseries of their tenantry—those landlords whose Ha bilities and crippled resources have been so graphi cally delineated by Lord MOUNTCASHELL. Let them be astir for the sake of their own fair fame, and of ;heir own fair fortunes. The time has arrived in which they may wipe away the remem brance of wholesale evictions and retail illiberality. Let them avail themselves of so excellent an opportunity of rendering their names popular, of attaching to themselves a devoted and enthusiastic race, and thereby of materially im proving their neglected possessions. The Iri , h can be as intensely grateful for benefac- tions as they have already proved themselves intensely patient under privations, or as they may prove them selves intensely outrageous under a long-con tinued abandonment by their natural and national protectors. One of their priests, on seconding a vote of sincere thanks to Sir 11ouEirr PEEL, at a meeting held at Mallow, on Wednesday, declared that "if he travelled over every page of the Eng lish vocabulary, he could not find terms strong enough to express his sense of gratitude to that great and good man!" Let the Irish landlords imitate the generous example shown by Sir R. PEEL in his public capacity, and they will be rewarded with similar gra titude from an industrious and peaceful tenantry ! The Hon. Member for Limerick, the ex-martyr of the cellar, is determined to convince the public that he has not relinquished one single particle of that ob stinacy that induced him—not only in opposition to the advice ofevery single one of the Irish Members with whom he had been in the habit of acting, but in spite of the urgent entreaties, the anxious prayers of their veteran leader—to force a collision with the House of Commons, and peremptorily to refuse the slightest concession. Ho saw that a considerable majority of the repeal party, all those blessed with the slightest portion of common sense, depre cated the course he had adopted, and that if he escaped a vote of censure at Conciliation Hall it was only because the Irish are a warm-hearted people, who do not readily abandon the cause of a friend, and who will be influenced by the heart to pass, sub silentio, that which must in the strongest de gree be condemned by the head. The Hon. Member had calculated on a considerable sensa tion being excited, which should vibrate through the land from Cape Clear to the Giant's Causeway, which should arouse the strongest feel ings of indignation throughout the nation ; and that during his martyrdom he should (as one of the Young Ireland gentry expressed it) act the king, re ceiving in regal state the deputations which would certainly crowd in to wait upon him with addresses from admiring and sympathising thousands. But in vain was the hope. In vain the sojourn in the cellar— the refusal to partake of generous fare—the protest against Saxon ale—the stern resolution against wine; all failed in procuring him the sympathy that he coveted, in exciting the commotion that he desired. It is true that a few of the very young gentlemen, who had sufficient leisure to afford a visit to the Saxon metropolis, visited the cellar, and in some degree calmed by their condolence the disappointed feelings of the martyr; and that the same persons also attempted to obtain a vote of the Association approving of his conduct, and encouraging him to persevere in his opposition to the orders of the House. But, alas ! these exertions were in vain. The people, who would gladly have supported him in any legitimate contest, in anything founded on reason which could possibly prove bene ficial to his country, could not join him in his wild and ridiculous attempt. He took up a false, an un tenable position, and he could not expect that any sober-minded person would do battle on his side, when he so foolishly refused to withdraw from the unequal contest. Hence the feeling of gratitude on his part, the determination to support the Young Ireland party when they, in turn, should be guilty of conduct as absurd, as supremely ridiculous as his own. Hence his withdrawal from the Association when a check was interposed, and language, by which the entire body might have been seriously compromised if it had been patiently heard, was put an end to. Hence his refusal to accept the proffered reconciliation, to avail himself of the bridge of gold prepared for his re turn by Mr. O ' CONNELL. Hi. vanity has suffered a fear ful shock ; his self-opinion has been sadly assailed ; he thinks it better" to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven.' He must be " nulli secundus"—he prefers to preside over the councils of Young Ireland to being even the second in Conciliation Hall. He has sulkily retired to Cahermoyle to await the course of events, and he has recently been cheered by an imposing demonstra tion of the physical force repealers of the county Limerick, who headed, we regret to say, by several Roman Catholic clergymen, waited on him for the purpose of presenting addresses from the repealers of Rathkeale and Newcastle. The Hon. Member gave a detailed account of the causes which led to his secession from Conciliation Ilall, of the differences that arose in the Association : these, according to Mr• O'BRIEN, were occasioned by different causes—first, as to the propriety of the Association pronouncing an opinion in support of himself, in his struggle with the House of Commons, in which cos he stated) the jority yielded to the minority; secondly, as to the propriety of repealers accepting or holding office under the Whig Government ; and lastly, respecting the Dungarvan election. These, according to Mr. O'l3Rifei, are the real differences that have occasioned the spit in the repeal camp, and not the question of physical force. This is the roan ner in which he strives to persuade himself that he is still justified in his conduct. The chief foundation on which the Association was erected was, that its objects were to be attained only by moral force—by the strength of public opinion. On this distinct pledge and understanding many of its members joined its ranks ; and it was by a strict adherence thereto alone that the co-operation of others whose aid would be most desirable could be hoped. The sagacious leader could trace to that prin ciple the various triumphs he had obtained, the vic tories he had achieved. lie gained, by peaceful means, successes which could never have been won by force. During his entire course his great diffi culty has been to curb and control the ardent and impetuous feelings of the people. It was easy to excite them, easy to goad them on to any pitch of enthusiasm, to induce them to brave any dangers, to undergo any privations; but to keep down the excited passions, to prevent any outbreak that would effectually destroy the prospects of a peaceful and bloodless victory, that was the task that required extraordinary powers indeed, hic labor hoc opus est. It could only be done by the constant affirmation of the principle, by instantly putting down any person, whoever he might be, who would speak even of the possibility of an appeal to arms, a re course to physical force. It was not the persons who could give expression to the feeling that were to be feared, men who really mean fighting and are not al ways speaking of it, and imagining cases when they would be called on to do so, but it was the ignorant multitude on whom these harangues might have the most injurious and demoralizing effect. He was, therefore, right in at once checking their utterance in the Association, and in getting rid of those who infringed the fundamental rule of the society; and in the with drawal with them of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN we really think he has experienced no great loss. On the 24th of August Cardinal Giza addressed a circular to the Governors of the Provinces of the Roman States, coffin.; on them to adopt measures calculated to improve the religious and temporal condition of the poorer classes. The document states, that the POPE beholds with the utmost pain the quarrels, thefts, and other misde meanors constantly recurring throughout the Pon tifical States ; that the chief cause of this state of society must be found in the idle life which the younger portion of the population are accustomed to lead, and in a want of proper instruction to prepare them for gaining an honest living by their industry. His Holiness, in con sequence, in addition to his wish to see education and habits of industry generally disseminated throughout his dominions, proposes founding without delay an establishment at Rome for the education of a certain number of boys belonging to the working classes throughout the states, so that they might be, in the first place, removed from the spot where they were likely to contract bad habits ; and in the next, might form a nucleus of well-in structed, non-commissioned officers, calculated to suffice for the army required by the State. His Ho liness calls on the governors to apply to all persons under theirjurisdiction, particularly the bishops, mu nicipal magistrates, and provincial councillors, for suggestions to forward this scheme, and to indicate the best mode of raising the funds necessary for car rying it into execution. The circular, in conclusion, calls on the governors to avoid mere theoretical recommendations, and to confine themselves as much as possible to practical matters. Madrid papers of the Ist have arrived. The Heraltlo gives the following bit of special pleading as an answer to the article in the _Espanol, which we published in our paper of yesterday, on the subject of the MOTATPENSIER marriage, which the Espanol contended would be a violation of the funda mental laws of Spain and of the treaty of Utrecht : " The spirit of the treaty concluded at a time when the condition of Spain was very different from what it now is, was never to unite on one head the two crowns of France and Spain, in order not to disturb the politi cal equilibrium, to which, in past ages, more itrportance was given than in the present day ; but could that circumstance now occur even with the consent of the two nations ? Certainly not. Could the Duke de Montpensier ever be the common bond of this re- union, impossible in our age ? Certainly not ; for even, which God forbid, should her Majesty have no heirs, the Duke de Montpensier would not be, as husband of the Princess who succeeded to the throne, King of Spain, but simply husband of the Queen ; and in order for him, in that position, to inherit the throne of France, there must be such a succession of deaths that their improba bility even prevents their entering into any human cal culation. But, suppose for a moment that this extreme improbability were to happen, it would be then only, and nut before, that the Duke de Montpensier might be called on to keep the engagements by which his family were bound. This is too evident to make it neces sary to insist further on it. We must, however, establish that it cannot be deduced from the spirit of the treaty of Utrecht that the Queen, or the imme diate heir to the throne, cannot contract a marriage with a prince of the house of Orleans. We may sty as much of the literal sense of the treaty. The application made by the Espanol of the article of the constitu tion is but a play upon words, consisting in a forced and absurd interpretation which it is sought to give to the word exclude.' We admit that the treaty has now all its primitive strength. But is that the law of which the constitution speaks ? Between a law properly. so called and a treaty ti ere exists a very strong difference. The first is a document purely domestic, obligatory only for individuals belonging to the same political associa tion, without application to any other nation; the second is the international law, which mutually binds different nations, which treats them as the simple law treats indivi duals. There is, therefore, an immense difference between the meaning of these two words ; a difference such as cannot give rise to any equivocation, for it would be as absurd to call the law of Utrecht'—the treaty which bears that name, as to apply the word treaty' to the law on the press. The law is too explicit in its language to confound ideas so completely distinct. If, in a docu ment so important as the constitution, it had been wished to make the exclusion insisted on by the Espanol, it would have said, 'Those who by the law, or by treaties are excluded,' and it would not have spoken simply of the law. It is impossible to admit that in this word can be generally understood treaties. But there is more. The treaty of Utrecht cannot now have the primitive force, and a blind obedience to its clauses cannot be de manded. After the revolutions which have succeeded each other in Europe the law of succession is changed. When, not long since, we wished, on the faith of that treaty, to make a demand from England which it did not suit her to grant, the reply was that the treaty had fallen into desuetude, and that i,s clauses could not be dis cussed. But we do not wish to place ourselves in such an advantageous position. We grant that the supposi tion of our adversaries is true, and that the treaty is the law of which the constitution speaks, and that this treaty , is now in its full force. Even in making this immense con cession we do not fear being able to maintain that the article I of the constitution is not applicable to the present case. The constitution speaks of Princes against whom the law imposes the punishment of exclusion—Princes whom, by a logical consequence, cannot aspire to the marriage in queF tion, because the law cannot open indirectly the road to the throne to one whocannotarrive there by a direct and.lawful one. It is only by doing violence in an absurd manner to the clear and explicit meaning of the article of the constitution that he who has renounced is excluded by the law. It may be replied to us, it is true, in the last place that he who renounced the succession is excluded from it, although the sense of these two words be distinct ; but, by urging this illogical reasoning further one would be forced to maintain that all Princes who are not called to the succession of the throne are excluded from it, and that consequently our Queen and her family could only marry their cousins, Infantes of Spain. Th a t t h e D u k e de Miintpensier or any other Prince cannot be called to the succession, because they have renounced it, f or a mo tive founded on special questions which have disappeared with the age to which they belonged, as h as b een the case with the treaty of Utrecht, is what may be sup ported by false reasoning ; but to deduce theref rom that these Princes are excluded by an article of the con stitution would be an absurd consequence which not only does not hold good before logic and common sense, but befere the simple signification given to words in the v ? - crtbulary of the lang uag e. In torturing terms in this way they may be made to say anything." This concluding observation is completely ap plicable to the reasoning of the writer in the Herald(). Never was there a more flagrant attempt at torturing terms in order . to get up some show of a reply to an adversary. The arguments of the Herald() are so completely identical with those of the French papers on this point as to lead to the suspicion that they are all the coinage of the same mint. In the meantime the opposition to the MONTPENSIER mar• riage is daily waxing stronger among the Spanish people, and General NARVAEZ was on Sunday dispatched post-haste from Paris to Madrid. It is said that on the QUEEN'S marriage a general amnesty will be published for all Spaniards of all political opinions, the only excep tions being Don CARLOS and his sons. El 7iempo confirms the news published yesterday of the resig- nation of M. ISTURITZ, and of his appointment as Ambassador to En . gland . ; and the Esperan:a repeats the statement, ;hat there had been serious oxpiana tions on the suLject cf tie l‘loyrrENstEn marriage between M. ISTURiTZ and Mr. BCLWER. The Spanish army is henceforth to consist of ninety- ix battalions of infantry an t battalions of reserve. The Heraldo announces the discovery of another plot to disturb the peace of the capital, which being interpreted means that it would be exceedingly con venient to the employers of the Keraldo to make cer tain illegal arrests, and that it is their intention so to do. MADRID BOMA, SEPT. I.—The Three per Cents. closed at 3.5 4 1 - for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 22i cash; Passives, 61; Coupons, 201 cash. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Spanish marriages are commented on in all of them. The Ministry and Court of Franee look upon the marriage of the IN with the Due DE MOISTPENSEIR as nil juit accompli, but many persons believed that both Great Britain and the Northern Powers would protest against such an union. In allusion to the provisions of the treaty of Utrecht, which would probably form one of the grounds of such a protest, the -ifournq des Dands, in reply to the article in the Espanol on the subject, says : _ " A Madrid journal, the Espanol, opposed to the marriage of the Infanta with the Duke de Montpensier, calls to our recollection that by the treaty of Utrecht, concluded in 1713, a public uct is annexed, by which the family of France and the family of Orleans renounce the Crown of Spain, which might have descended to them under the Salic law. " We do not see how this document can be considered as an obstacle to the marriage of the Infanta of Spain to one of the sons of the King of the French ; it would not even have been an impediment in the way of an union of the Queen with a Prince of the house of Orleans, for the order of succession to the throne could not in any way be changed by either the one or other of these two alliances." The Commerce and the Courier Francais both controvert the argument of the Espanol ; and the Siecle, which enters fully into the subject, says— " It is well known that the object of this celebrated document was to prevent the re-union of the crowns of France and Spain. It results from it, not that a French prince cannot marry a 'Spanish princess, but that he cannot claim the crown of Spain in his own right. It is the same for the princes of Spain with regard to the French crown. But to arrive at the throne by the right of male succession, and to bee me the husband of a princess who occupies the throne in her own right, founded on the ancient law of the Goths, and renewed by the Cortes, are things essentially different. The Espanol, which brings forward the renunciation, forgets that it is a corollary to the establishment of the Salic law in Spain. If it ever suited France to establish that her crown might be filled by females, a French Queen would be perfectly at liberty to espouse a descendant of Philip V., provided that Prince was not King of any other country. The renunciation is inapplicable to the Duke de Montpensier; his wife is heir presumptive to the throne of Spain; she may be come Queen of that country; but unless by the ex press wish of the Spaniards, declared in a sovereign form, the husband of the Infanta Luisa would not even hare the guardianship of his children. It would be difficult in good faith to bring forward the renun. ciation against the Duke do Montpen.ier in the event of his claiming the regency during the minority of his son or his daughter; fur the regency, although it em braces the functions of royalty, is not royalty, the essential character of which is perpetuity." The Quotidienne, the Legitimatist organ, also denies the validity of the provisions of the treaty of Utrecht. " If," says the Quotidienne, " the treaty of Utrecht still subsists, with its consequences, the lawful King of Spain is CHARLES VI.; but if it has been done away with by the revolution of 1833, how can it be now adduced against the descendants of PHILIP of Orleans ?. It must either protect the Count DE MONTEMOLIN, or open Spain to the Duke DE MONT.' PENSIER. But we know from experience that re volutions care but little about being consistent." Thus all parties in France seemed agreed to treat the treaty of Utrecht as a dead letter. 1 he Republican National seems to enjoy the pros pect of a squabble among crowned heads and Mi nisters of State, and laughs, after its own sneering fashion, at the intrigues and counter-intrigues of the diplomatists of both sides : " The double marriage," says that paper, " which diplomacy has concluded in Spain, occupies at this moment the entire press of Madrid, of London, and of Paris. We admire the efforts which are ever made when the people are suffering to exaggerate the im portance of Court affairs. Well ! of what conse quence is it whether a young woman is called Infanta or Madame Montpensier ? Is the world, perchance, going to change its appearance in consequence? Is it desired to elevate t:etty monarchical intrigues to the proportions of those grand events which pro Luce new ideas amongst society, which give a more rapid rotation to the fortune of nations, and which cause the axis on which they turn to sink? Do we still live at that period of history when a royal alliance set Europe on fire, and disturbed during many years its security and its international relations? There is not, at this moment, a single potentate, however elevated or pow, rful he may imagine himself, who could cause any material alteration in the general position of kingdoms because it pleased himself to marry or to marry his children. Let us not, therefore, give this affair a degree of importance which it does nut possess. Tee only manner in which it regards us is that it pro duces the propagation of a species with which we might dispense. It was Frederick the Great who first used, at Potsdam, a phrase which has been frequently repeated There is nothing more easy to replace than a prince.' The phrase still continues true, and for tha' reason we will not complain of th ose menac i ng mar . riages." A circular has just been addressed by some of the Opposition Members of the Chamber of Deputies to the electoral body, calling on the Liberal electors to form permanent committees " to fight the battle of the registration courts," so as to enable that party to regain its lost ground. It is signed by 111.0. JhEROT, DUVERGIER. D'HAURANNE, G. DE BEAUMONT, and LEON DE AIALLEVILLE, and its object is thus de scribed by the Constitutionnel:— " This circular is not a programme; it is an energetic invitation addressed to ad shades of the Opposition, to act everywhere with ensemble, to form permanent com mittees, to examine the lists, and to keep the public mind in a salutary state of agitation. The Government wish to put the country to sleep, to close its e) es on its great interests, to divide among a small number of families the direction of the Government, to cor rupt public manners in order to extinguish patriotism. The Opposition wishes to keep France awake, to inces santly excite generous sentiments, to combat corruption, and to introduce the representative system into the na tional habits. For this object, the committees of the Left Centre and the Left remain constituted and active after the general elections, and it becomes all good citizens to imitate their example by organising perma nent committees, and taking, within the limits of the laws, every possible part in the political Oaks of the country." The name of M. THIERS is not attached to this circular, and it is rumoured that an intrigue is in progress to bi ing about a coalition between M. Tunas and M. G urzoT. Orders have been sent to Brest to prepare three corvettes, the Allier, the Somme, and the Loire to take 1,600 troops to Otaheite. The Ministers have determined that the sentence on JOSEPH HENRY shall be carried into effect. The Chamber of Commerce of Havre have received the following announcement from the Minister of Commerce : " I have received notice from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, that the Russian Government has suspended in its ports of the Baltic and of the White Sea, as well as in those of the Black Sea and of the Sea of Azof, the appli cation of the ukase of the 19th June, 1845, as far as relates to French shipping arriving from the ports of France situated on the Atlantic and on the Channel. I pray - you to communicate this fact to the merchants a your town." There was nothing done in the French Funds on Sunday.

Hitherto heat unaided by affinity has been unequal to resolving water into its constituents; electricity has been the only single agent by which this could be accomplished. But we ht ar, and we have full faith in the report, that Mr. Grove has succeeded in &composing water by heat alone ; or, popularly to express it, he has boiled water into its elements, oxygen and hydrogen. This, then, i, the second grand physical discovery in England thi year, both of high scientific importance, and both adding to the fame of their respective authors, Faraday anti Grove—Literary Gazette. Lord Henry .Bentinck has had unprecedented suc c2ss among the red deer, his Lordship having already killed sixteen stags, many of them of great size.

It is not likely, even should ha come here as ambassador, that he can do much good for those who have strong claims upon the Spanish Treasury for advances made to it. The writers of the private letters from Madrid appear to take very little interest in the paper warfare which is going on upon the subject of the proposed marriage between the youngest son of Louis Philippe and the Infanta. One thing is certain, that whether the man iage take puttee or non the foreign b indhulders sill tint be a bit better off than they are now. But it is argued in some quarters the al liance may have the elf ct of inc c as i ng the stability of the Que,n of Spit!, and that under French 4 uidanaa and rel'.eee the rev, noes of the cent] try may be further developed. Radically bad, however, as are the the e hole fiscal a rranaemerns of the Spanish station, it is extremely citrate fur whether for years to come any such improvement can be made as may yield ben: fit to its foreign creditors. The example set by P. rtugal of repudiating a portion of our obligations, will not be lost sight of probably by the Finance Minister of Madrid. The more the decree of the Government referred to yesterday in our City article is considered, the stronger are the feelings of disapprobatien expressed re specting it. The only wonder is, that any persons should invest money in the stock, even at the present reduced value. It is too much to be feared that the in fection of repudiation, for which the Americans have made themselves so remarkable, will now not only be carried out by Portugal but by Spain.
