Besides, let us be just, my brethren; open your eyes; open your ears and hear me in good faith. la hat have you seen in the course of three years? Have you seen the liberty of the press? What a victory for impiety I What a triumph ! It has pretended to derogate from the eighth precept of the decalogue, in which (loil and Nature condemn insult, ridicule, sneering, scandal, calumny, mordacity, and , evil speaking. Is it not SO ? And what sor t of lustre has this conferred on our nation ? But by the bowels of Jesus Christ, what lustre can you expect from a 3lentlibel, flour a Legarda from a Sanchez, from a Mutro zabal, the Editors of the Liberal Guipuzcoana, the most accre dited journal of all those of Spain ? Do you know, my brethren, those wh o I h ave named ? To undeceive you, know then that the first is a chattering mongrel advocate—a river in words, but a drop in understanding; the second, an escrivano ; the third, a physician.. and the fourth a musician.—Will posterity beli eve t h at such Lye been able to pasi in cultivated Spain for sages? I have limited myself solely to the Liberal Guipuzeoano, that from these premises you may without violence draw the legitimate consequences. You have seen the tribunal of the faith exterminated—you have seen the company of Jesus exterminated —yo u have seen the monasteries and convents suppressed, their revenues' robbed, the ecclesiastics turned out, the mistress of the nations a slave, and no longer free - -you have seen your political chiefs erected into Popes % and driving from their cl o i s t ers t h ose w h o h ave taken the veil—you have seen the fifth command of our Holy Mother the Church—you have seen (the heavens obscured with such a deplorable trans formation)—you have seen a marble stone respected, venerat ed, and deified I 0 my (Ion! the respect and adoration which is so justly dear to ou, has been usurped from you by tablet or stone erected in a y public place. My brethren, do you ponder on what you hear ? Is it not all reality ? This and no other is the felicity which is promised you by this accursed race, C m the nation be happy which offends God's only son ? Can a n a ti on w i thout faith an d religion be happy? My breth ren, open, I repeat to y ou , y our eyes; yet you may avoid the fatal gulph whi c h awaits you without remedy • abandon those satellites of Satan, and come to me or run to t he Royalists who are nearest to you. Do this without delay: so invites you r your humble brother the Trappist. Vittoria, April 14, 1823. FR. ANTONIO AIARANON. PROCLAMATION OF BROTHER ANTONIO • MARANON. GENEROUS AND SUFFERING SPANIARDS.

We have been favoured with the following Dispatch, dated yesterday, at Paris : TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH, dated Paris, May 2. The Minister of the Interior to the Mayor of Calais. Sin—The advanced guard of the 2d Corps entered Sarragossa on the 25th. " The Citadel of Jaca is in the hands (est au pouvoir) of the King's Army. The Revolu tionary Chief has been arrested, his troops have surrendered." The apologists for the unjust aggression of France against Spain, or rather the instigators to the perpetration of that iniquity, and the eulogists of the atrocious system which fiies Veen organized against the liberties and independence of nations, have consistently manifested the same hatred to the free institutions and the patriotic Govern ment of Portugal, as to those of the Spaniards. Nothing can more clearly prove the real motives by which the enemies of Spain are influenced, than this association of Portugal with her in the vituperation of the abettors of fanaticism and ar bitrary power. The pretexts for the invasion of Spain ,are, that she had fomented revolutionary movements in Naples,&c.,—that her civil commo tion* compromised the tranquillity of France; — that she had afforded protection, and encourage. ,—that her soldiers had more than once violated the French territory—that she holds her King and his ment in their projects, to disaffected Frenchmen ; family captive, shorn of their ancient power and influence in the State ;—that no national institu tions can be legitimate which are not established by the sole will, or at least with the unrestrained concurrence of the Sovereign,—and a long etcetera of other causes of hostility, the whole of which have been proved to be either false in fact, or equally monstrous and untenable in principle.— But, notwithstanding the triumphant refuta tion which has been given to all the fabri cated causes of offence alleged against Spain, still they have afforded and continue to afford to her enemies, something like a series of pretexts for their own injustice, -or at least their repetitive serves them as a never failing resource against the absolute silence which must other wise have been imposed upon them by a cor rect exposition of the question. So far, there , fore, it has been possible to preserve an ap pearance of difference in opinion, and of opposi tion of argument, on the case of Spain ; and so far the aggressors, as well as the aggrieved, have been enabled to assert the justice of their own cause. In the case of Portugal, however, there is not even the shadow of any one of the unreal offences which are alleged against Spain. It is not even pretended that Portugal has kept up a correspondence with Revolutionists in any part of Europe. It is not pretended that her in ternal condition has compromised the interests of any one of her neighbours. It is not pretended that she has given undue protection or encourage ment to the proscribed or disaffected of other countries. No Power has complained of her having violated its rights, its interests, or its territory. Her just and Patriotic KING has nobly concurred with his People in recogniz ing and establishing, if not in originating, those Institutions which he perceived to be conducive to the prosperity and happiness ,of his dominions, and he has manifested by all his actions, private as well as public, the sincerity of his attachment to that consti tutional system which he had sworn to maintain. There is not even a pretence, therefore, on which mpt to justify their can endeavour t o tn the l i e g n h e i m t y i seorf within Portugal can a t theyte conceal the real and only motive of their hostility to the Peninsular nations,—a motive which is thus laid bare to the light, and is demonstrated to be nothing but a repugnance to the progress of rational freedom and intelligence, and a base and unworthy preference for the rigour of despotic power and the debasing ascendancy of ignorance and superstition, over the exercise of limited and well-defined authority, and the fostering influence on the human faculties and charac ter emanating from liberal and popular insti tutions. If we are asked for the proofs that the Portuguese are as obnoxius as the Spaniards to the adherents of despotism and the abettors of an iniquitous war, we answer, that although it is true, that, in consequence of the high pro tection of England, no denunciations were ful. ; minted against Portugal from Verona; and that) although it is true that from the same cause Fiance has disclaimed all intention of pushing her armies within the Portuguse frontier,—yet that it is not less trot that the insurrection in . Tras os Montes was the work of Foreign influence and of Foreign Gold ;--that trigues are still carrying on in Lisbon, by 'emis saries, who are knozcn and obseered, for re-kindling the smothered flames of civil war in the Portu guese territory,—that the Portuguese Government has been openly maligned by the profligate jour-' nals both of this country and of the Continent, — that the strength of the Traitor AMARANTE and his rebel hand, on the contrary, have been by the same parties grossly exaggerated, and the dispositions of the Portuguese nation notoriously misrepresented,—that the superior force, and de votion, and successes of the Constitutional Army, on the one hand, and the discomfiture and ruin of , the insurgents, on the other, have been uniformly, loudly, and pertinaciously denied, until the ex pulsion of the rebels from Portugal, and the pursuit of them into Spain by the victori ous Constitutionalists, have rendered the con cealment of the true state of affairs no longer possible ! These are some only of the innumerable proofs that Spain and Portugal are equally detested by the authors and abettors of the atrocious attack now perpetrating upon the former Kingdom. We say nothing at present of the eagerness with which they endeavoured to intimidate Portugal from making common cause with Spain, though their cause is obviously one and the same,—of the anxiety which they evinced to obtain a declaration from England that she would not inferfefe for the protection of her an ciesit Ally, if she should be endangered by the proceedings of France,—of their joy at finding that the English Cabinet does not consider itself bound to assist Portugal, unless she is first actually attacked ! , These are indi cations of feelings and wishes, and projects and views, which cannot for a single instant be mis understood ! That question, however, is likely to be brought to an issue, upon which they have not calculated. The routed Portuguese Insurgents, pursued by the victors, are in flight through Spain towards the Army of the Duke d'ANGOULEME, who is extending himself by Palencia to meet them. If he should present a hostile front to the Portuguese Constitutional Army, and interpose between them and the rebels, Portugal will be engaged in a war %Odell she has not sought, but which will have been forred upon her by the enemy ! h there any , man, in such a case, who will say that she is net entitled to call upon England for the fulfilment of the stipulations of their alliance? Spanish Bonds were done this morning at 36 without the dividend, which is equal to 381 as compared with their value a few days since.— This great advance in the price of Spanish Secu rities is nothing more than we expected. When the departure of FERDINAND VII. for Seville took place, Spanish Bonds were as low as 26. On the day when it was known in London (March 29) that the inhabitants of Madrid had offered no opposition to his MAJESTY'S departure, the price of the Bonds was only 27i. The tranquillity of Madrid, however, on so trying an occasion, ap peared to us so decisively favourable to the cause of Constitutional a Spain, that we said in our Paper of the same day, "We do think that Spanish Bonds are at this moment of greater real value than has been attached to them for the last three or four months."—The events of al most every day since, and the present price of those Securities, have confirmed the accuracy of our opinion. We extract the following front the Dutch Mail, received this morning : , " Tuatfs, MATICU 22.—Tunis has concluded a treaty of peace and commerce with the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, by which that state is to be placed on the same footing as the most favoured nations. Besides the merchandize of various descriptions imported in the ships of different nations, two Tropolihari ships brought Negro slaves, a Sardinian vessel brought Christian slaves from Smyrna, and an English vessel Christian slaves from Constantinople. " VIE wwa , Arat t. 14.—1 t is said that M. Le Tatischef will shortly return to St. Petersburgh. Nothing has transpired re. lative to his negociations. We now hear nothing of the depar. ture of the King of Naples. It is reported that he will wait Ihere for the result of the war with Spain, whi c h w ill d ou b t l ess be soon ended." iPROM A CORRESP ONDENT .] STOCK XCHANOE, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 784-a, and went up t 4-1 . 5 6 4, with a brisk Market and some , business doing. The Express from Paris has brought the French Funds from 85f. 50c. to 86f. The private letters from the above capital state that Sara. gossa was taken on the 26th ult. but do not bring any further information of consequence. A report. still prevails that a negociation is an the tapis between France and Spain, and that our Government will be the arbitrators. FOREIGN MARKET.—Great bustle and much business was doing this morning in the above Market. New Spanish Bonds opened at 331 oud rose to 36, went down again to 354. ROYAL AQUATIC EXCURSION; PORTSMOUTH, MA : 4 : I.—We are gratified to learn that there is a certainty of his MAJESTY'S visiting- out port during the summer.—His Majesty will embark in the Royal George. the Officers of the Apollo being appointed to her, and the Of ficers of the Royal George have most of them other appoint menta. The mooring ordered to be laid down will be at Spit head, Cowes, and Southampton water, it being the King's in tention to keep in smooth water within the Wight, at the commendation of Sir W. Knighton. FASHIONABLE PARTIES. PRINCE EASTERIIAZr3 GRAND BALI. AND SUPPER.—. His Excellency opened Chandos House on Thursday evening , which was attended by upwards of three hundred distinguished fashionable. The grand suite of drawing-room were thrown open ; the principal one was appropriated for dancing, the floor was fancifully chalked, it was most brilliantly illuminated, and was decorated with numerous pots of flowers. Dancing commenced about eleven o'clock. The supper, which con sisted of every . delicacy, was prepared in the grand dining par lour. The wines and dessert were of the choicest description. The company did not break up till half-past five yesterday morning; among them were, the Foreign Ministers, his Royal, Highness Prince Leopold, Duke and Duchess of Leinater, Duke and Duchess of Argyll, the Ladies Pagett Marchioness of Lansdown, Duke of Devonshire, Marchioness Conynghain and Lady E Conyngharn, Countess of Harrowby and Ladies Ryder, Duke of Wellington, Lord Granville, Lord and Lady Morpeth and Misses Howard, Duchess of Montrose, and Ladies Graham, Countess Cowport, Sir Joseph Copley and Miss Cop.. ley, La d y Ellenborough and Miss Law, Earl of Fife, Sir Wm. Elliot, ,ountess Bathurst, Lord Gwydyr, Lady Macfarlane, Lord Alvanley, Lady E. Campbell, Lord A. Hill, Duchess of Wellington, Marquis Graham, Mr. Heathcote, Lord Palmer. stone, Sir G. Talbot, Mr. Howard, &c. The Earl of Lansdale gave and elegant entertainment on Thursday, at his house in Charles -street, Berkeley-square, to the Duke of Montrose, Marquis of Camden, Lord Lowther, Sir G. and Lady Beaumont, Lord F. Bentinck, Sir H. and Lady Davy, Sir C. and Lady Long, Sir A. Hume, Bart., Mr. and Lady Ann Bagot, Mr. and Lady Caroline Pawlet, Mr. Hebre, Mr. Tomlin, Mr. 'Warren, &c. ARTISTS• GENERAL BENEVOLENT INSTITU TION. The Ninth Annual Dinner, in support of this truly excellent Institution, took place yesterday in FreentasusW Ball. The Earl of LivEnpoot. wat in the Chair, and several other Noblemen and Gentlemen filled the upper table. The other tables were also fully occupied by Gentlemen of well known talents in Literature and the Fine Arts. We -regret that our limits preclude us from entering into particulaN.— The Earl of LIVERPOOL briefly, but forcibly, touched on the importance of the Fine Arts in a national point of view, and warmly recommended this Institution to the patronage of the Company, and of the Public in general. Lord Pomni ET, Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, and other distinguished persons, expressed similar sentiments. Among the toasts were—The King with four times four. The loyal Anthem was then sung. The Duke of York and the Army, followed. Then the Duke ' of Clarence and the Navy. The Duke of Sussex, the Patron of the Institution ; the Royal Family in general ; the Earl of Liverpool. All these toasts were given with three times three. The Noble Lord again rose to thank the company, and repeated his recommendation of the Institution. The Artists General Benevolent Institution was among the toasts that of course were received with peculiar applause. Sir Thomas Lawrence and the Royal Academy, followed, and that Gentleman, in a zealous yet modest speech, expressed his thanks for the honour, spoke with zeal in favour of the Institution, and promised his warm support of it during life. These toasts were likewise received with three times three. Other toasts were given, and equally well received, but we have not room for detag.—The most agreeable part of our duty is to state, that the contributions of the company present, before the Noble Chairman left the room, amounted to upwards .of 6441. After the Earl of Liverpool left the Chair, Mr. TURNER, It. A. wax unanimously called on to fill it. He obeyed the universal desire, and kept up the good humour and conviviality of the Meeting. Mr. SoANE, who is never wanting, or rather who is always prompt on occasions of benevolence, and who hapre viously subscribed, then addressed the Chair, and statetUhat he had a contribution to present in a purse, given by four Ladies, who were zealous for thr welfare of the Society, but whose names motives of delicacy would not permit him to mention. The purse contained twenty guineas, and after It w a s ernp tied by the Treasurer, Mr. Soane retained it as a relique of female delicacy and benevolence. In the course of the evening the health of Mr. Young, the Honorary Secretary, was given, and also that of Mr. Denham, the auditor, and r.- ceived with warm and well-merited applause, as they are both zealous supporters of the Institution, and have eminently con tributed to its welfare by their respective exertions. The Gallery was filled with Ladies, who seemed 'highly gratified with the general entertainment, and they also were the subject of a toast with three times three. Messrs. Ilaoanu tinter, TAYLOR, PARRY, and other professional Gentlemen, enter tained the company with songs, glees, &c. with instrumental accompaniments .of the flageolet and pianoforte. We have seldom attended any public occasion equally calculated to do honour to the human character, and we cannot conclude this brief statement of a high intellectual and convivial banquet, better than by the oft-repeated, but admirable and applicable lines of Dr. Joirwsox : " Hence then shall calm reflection bless the night, When liberal Pity dignified delight, When Pleasure hr d her torch at Virtue's flame, And Mirth was Bounty with an humbler name." ANOVER•SQUA RE Rooms.—Mr.W.K'NYVETT'S annual Concert in these Rooms was last night well attended, as might be expected from his private worth and professional merit. Mr. VAUGHAN was unable to attend on account of a severe hoarseness, and Miss PATON continued to be too much indisposed to assist on the occasion. The whole was well selected, and was performed with so much correctness, taste, and judgment, as to afford a fine Musical treat. We have not room for particular notice, but we must add, that there was a very agreeable intermixture of Vocal and Instrumental ex cellence. ARGYLL Rooms.—A novel Entertainment was last night _presented to the public at the these Rooms. Mr. PUILIPE PISTAUCCT, whose reputation for reciting Exienl..,. poraneous Poetry is great even in the country which gave birth to this species of amusement, highly gratified a numerous audi tory in the capacity of Improvisatore. Mr. PisTituccr is, we believe, the first of his profession who has visited this country. Ile is a bold declaimer, and appears to possess considerable aptitude for the task whichi he undtrtakes. The first subject on which he declaimed at some length, and in a succession or pleasing versification, was Orestes. As he proceeded, he sp.., peared to catch enthusiasm from the subject, and displayed with much force the different passions of remorse, rage, and despair, which alternately agitated the heart of the parricide. Our limits will not allow us to follow the Improvisatore through the various subjects which were proposed by the company, but we, should particularly , notice the description of Ugoti n o i n th e Di l ingeon He acknowledged the difficulty of treating this sub ject after the able versification of DANTE, but as he proceeded his difficulties sunk before him, he appeared animated by a poetic furor, and rendered ample justice to the subject by the able expression of his conceptions on this terrific story. Duets, Trios, &c. by CA.sIPORESE, DE BE G N is, and other performers from the King's Theatre, agreeably diversified this entertain meat, of which we may anticipate a repetition, as front the gratification which the audience appeared to derive from the efforts of Mr. Pis'ritucci., we have every reason to suppoffe that his success will be proportionate to his merit. It being generally understood that his JESTY was so much better, the inquiries ceased yesterday. Yesterday morning the Duchess of CLARENCE went to Kensington on a visit to the Duchess of KENT. lIIRT/L--At his Royal Illghness the thtkoof C nr, NMM'S, Bushy Park, this morning, at live o'clock, the Countess of ERROLL, of awn and heir. We are enabled to contradict the rumour which has been so industriously circulated respecting the amount of property left by the late Mr. NowxiNs, It. A. It is not true that he died possessed of 300,0001. ; his property is estimated at 150,0001., and the statement of the Legacy'of 50,0001., said to have been left to his MAJ EST Y is equally without foundation. ~ ~ ' 7 ';':•:. ::'"N 1 . .. . ,To ~4 ;.,. „,, ~...._ 1 s . ‘ . -. ~4,,. , :r'Afie• 1. , i , . r" I N Ii• ~.s.g , , c ,:i.'"l . ~. ...::*- 7 . -411' . . „ 0 1 1 1 :N , , ~ r l, 1 " .- vs - ' ,------' 1 , 4 , t • , t a -4% , . i",
