PARIS PA PERS. poisonous plants of treason and perfidy ; and you will not hesi tate one moment to forsake the banners of rebellion. And you, provincial militia, torn front your homes and your peace-. ful pursuits, to defend a deceitful liberty which has been for you only the slavery of death, can you hesitate ? No. You are Spaniards, and you will wipe out in one day the stain yo u have inflicted on the militia of our ' country, which in all times was a pattern of loyalty. " Hasten into our ranks you will there find friends and brothers, who will help to restore liberty to our King and hap.. piness to Spain ; but, if you remain deaf to this last appeal if you obstinately persist in a fruitless resistance—you may tremble at the punishment which will overtake you in a few days. ' " VINCENT DE QUESADA. " St. Jean de Luz, March 10,1823." " To the Inhabitants Ville Three Biscapan Provinces. " Companions and Friends !—When you did me the honour last August to Choose me for your Chief, I was at the head of the valiant and faithful Army of Navarre, Which I at that time commanded.. Pissive obedience, the Chief duty of a soldier, caused me to give 'up this post. I directed my steps towards France, when my heart desired to be united Kith you, and pleased itself with admiring your triumphs and your constancy. I laboured to procure you succours by every possible I have succeeded in my efforts, and yon'will very soon see me at your head. You have heard, Comrades,: the august words of the wise and virtuous Louis XVI I 1., Chief of the ancient Dynasty of the Bourbons, words which all France have repeated with en thusiasm. A hundred thousand soldiers, commanded by the Duke of Angouleme, the son of his heart, are ready to rush at the first signal on the Spanish territory. They do nut come to domineer over us, but to bring us peace—mot dictate laws to us, but to give liberty to our Sovereign, that he may re-establish our ancient laws and usages. The son of St. Louis is coming to restore the Throne of Ferdinand : he desires to establish In its ancient splendour and dignity the holy religion of our fathers, proscribed at present by a few impious men—he comes, in fine, to restore us that happiness of which the treason of' some per. jured soldiers has deprived us. " The white flag will heal the wounds which were m a de by the eagles of the Usurper. Receive it, comrades, as the signal of peace; let us open our arms to our brothers; let there be no other rivalry between them and us than the rivalry of loyalty to our Sovereign, of discipline and order. Yes, they are our brothers. There are in Europe at present only two nations ; one composed of impious wretches, who, under the name of liberty, aim at destroying altars and thrones, and overthrowing social order • the other, composed of religious and loy a l men , the friends of legitimacy; one conspire in their secret and dark meetings, to destroy every thing which is sacred In the uni verse; the other is represented by the Holy . Alliance, the mug. nonillions Princes of which proclaim aloud the Conservative principles of order, " To signify bow much the arrival of thi s fl ag oug h t to be agreeable to us, I have, with my Staff, adopted a white mask on the upper part of the arm, which will be the ern blem of our indissoluble alliance. I hope that all the Chiefs and officers of my Corps d'armee, and the Administrations of those countries through which we pass, will hasten to imitate our example. " It will not be enough that we give the F r en c h a b rot h er ly welcome; it will be more glorious for us if they are only the allies of our and the spectators of our triumphs. Hasten, then, to take up arms, inhabitants of the three Provinces ! come and assemble round the flags of honour and fidelity. The va liant and magnanimous .'Merino and tabula, and the noble Trappist who is to add me with his courage and his Councils, is for us. These 4 will be your models and guides. I will en deavour to render myself wo r thy o f th em and of you. Soldiers, inhabitants of the three Provinces, you also are Spaniards i unite, he valiant and orderly, and very soon we shall break the chains which weight heavy on our King and our country. • " VINCENT DE QUESADA.

The town'and fortress is now also placin4 in the best state of defence. PARIS, MARCH IB.—The Journal de Toulouse amtains the following paragraph under the head of Figueras, March 5 : In Lerida, the fortifications are repairing, and provisions .for a year are preparing for its impregnable fortress. A battsliotv of patriots has been formed there, independent of the militia intended to defend the place in case of a siege, Flying .parties of chasseurs are also forming, to pursue any rebels who .may make their appearance. The lots have been drawn for recruits for the army, and on this occasion patriotiam has completely overcome the deep-rooted repugnance of the Catalonians to tins species of service, . Tickets and Shares are Selling by Err ON, Stock-broker, 2, CORNHILL and LOMBARD-STREET, where all Busi ness in the Public Funds is transacted with fidelity and dis patch. - " General Mina, who has visited every part of the province, is exprcted here in a few days. It is said that in a short time he will have in Lam pou rdan alone, 12,000 infantry and 1,0(X) cavalry, with Out including the active and volunteer mi. litia. Passports for the interior are given to all suspected persons. It is in contemplation to re move all the Judges of 1819, as well as the Politi cal Chiefs and the Generals who have not given sufficiently strong pledges of their devotion to the Constitution. In short, the Communeros look forward to a political regeneration, such as ought to have taken place in March, 1820." The Gazelle de France yesterday described an attempt to cause a conflagration at Toulon as the result of a dreadful plot, the object of which was the destruction of the arsenal and even of the town itself. The article which, appeared to be official, because the news arrived by telegraph, has excited great alarm. The matter is now ex plained—that is to say, a journal last night gave the lie to the story, and described what had happened in the following terms " The fire was first discovered at three o'clock in the morning of the 11th, in a wooden hut, 12 metres long by 5 wide, situated to the west of the 'Pigou Here of the port. A part of the hut was employ, ed as a depdt for carpenters' tools, and another part Sias appropriated to the reception of articles used in ship-caulking. The hut was entirely destroyed, and the fire communicated itself to the Pigou- Here ; but that being a stone building, and vaulted, it afforded an opportunity for checking the flames, and about half-past four the confla gration was completely got under. The damage is estimated at 5,500 francs. The naval com mandant has directed an inquiry to be made into the cause of the fire. Suspicions have fallen upon some galley-slaves, who were employed during the night in draining the ditch la Baliene." Yesterday, about fifty young gentlemen, be longing to the late province of Bretagne, who happened to be in Paris, proceeded to the house of M. Manuel, the Deputy for La 'Vendee, to express their satisfaction at his conduct in the sittings of the 3d and 4th of March. MANSFIELD-STREET, CAVENDISH-SQUARE.

A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of Bank Stock was held yesterday at the Bank of England: The CnAinstax proposed a halflyearly dividend of four per cent. and accounted for the reduction of one per cent. by stating that there had been an important diminution of the usual profits of the Company. Mr. GONDItY, in opposing the reduction, observed, that the general body of Ptopnetors could not but greatly, and with reit , . son, be dissatisfied with the sweeping statement given by the Chairman. Admitting the propriety of reducing the dividend in proportion to . the redoction of the profits of the Company, and vice versa the rise of the former with the increase of the latter, yet surely it was but reasonable, that the Court should be put hi possession of a detailed account of those profits whose insuffi ciency was the alleged cause of a reduction in the present half. yearly dividend. If' the Di rectors wou l d come forward with a satisfactory statement, they would find the Proprietors ready to agree to any reasonable relinquishment of an adequate portion of their dividend ; if, however, they were still determined to keep the Proprietors in the dark upon this important subject, theyinust not be surprised to meet with considerable opposition to their measures. —Ile, for one, was dissatisfied with the an.; candid conduct of the Directors, kind should therefore propose, as an amendment, " That there be paid to the Proprietors, the usual half-yearly dividend of 5 per cent, on the sth April next.' Mr. NEsIIITT shortly seconded the Amendment, and express= etl himself equally, dissatisfied, as to th e non - pro d uct i on of ,pa . perm, with the Hon. Proprietor who had just sat down. A PROPRIETOR said, that the simple question for the Court to decide upon was, whether or not it was satisfied with the conduct of a body of Directors, who, for a long series of years, had been proved to h ave b een actuated by the most laudable and honottrable feelings towards the great body of the. Proprietors. He, for one, could not see any reasonable ground for questioning the policy of the proposed reduction, and he thought either, that the verbal assurance of the diminution or the profits should be satisfactory to the Court, or, that the Pro:. 1 prietors should proceed to the election of a Court of Directors, to whom they could better confide their interests. Mr. I' o two shortly opposed the reduction. The Court ultimately divided upon the Amendment, when there were— Policies may also be effected for the whole term of Life, by a limited number of yearly payments.

Among the Petitions on which a report will be made in the first Kitting after the 19th are the following from the mer• chants of Havre; 2, from the merchants of Berdeaux ; 3, from the inhabitants of Bethancourt (Aisne) ; 4, from the inhabi tants of Annoy (Aisne); 6, from the inhabitants of Havre; 6, from the merchants of Lille ; 7, from the merchants of Rouen ; 8, from the inhabitants of (hives (Aisne); 9, from the merchant ship-owners of Morlaix ; 10, from the inhabi. tants of the 'ports of Dinie and Pontrieux. The Petitioners express fears as to the consequences of war, which may prove prejudicial to commerce ; and they pray for the maintenance of peace. On merely reading the repartee the Sittings of the Cortes, held since the memorable 9th and 11th days of last January, and re.. fleeting on the attitude Spain has assumed in so short a period, it will be seen what an extraordinary efilet has been produced therein by the several Notes addressed to our ooVerninent by the Cabinets of liolyAllianee ' —the (*titian boldness with whi c h they have been answered; the firm and dignified manner in which they were rejected by the Congress ; at Well as the sens a ti ons excited by the rumours of war w ith France, the hostile prepata. tions observable in the Pyrenees, and the arguments used against and in favour of the probability of the Invasion taking place. 'When some persons eipected to see the Citizens of this great nation most divided, now it is that they ate seen most united ; now it is that an inexplicable serenity is remarked ; nothing is beheld on all sid es l as t preparations for defence ; anti we find national hymns swell the noise of the workshops, where cannon, stores, and arms of all kinds, are preparing to equip our valiant sons, who will ne ver b en d t h e i r nec k s to the humi liating yoke of foreigners, and who have always kept the oath they haveltaken. Scarcely had the Spanish Congress pronounced their solemn determination, recorded in their Sittings of the 9th and 11th o f January—scarcely had th e French Ambassador quitted the capital of Spain, when the presentiment of an immediate war United in such a manner the minds of all Spaniards, that in a few days we beheld a new battalion of volunteer militia raised in Madrid, and this, together with the rest, offered to go off' to the Pyrenees, if th e country was thr ea t ene d; numerous Gene irals and officers who had earned their reputations in the war of independence hastened to offer themselves to march to the point of the greatest danger, and to sustain their eauntry'a rights pro. claimed in the Political. Constitution of the Monarchy, and to repel all foreign aggression and immediately afterw ar d s thou sandeofpatriots followed their eiample. There are now already forma 52 bands of guerillas, capable of taking the field, if necet sity requires ; and that spirit of union and calm firmness which prevails among the worthy Representatives of th e Sp an i s h na tion and•the Members of the Oovernment, is beyond descrip tion. The same sentiments also prevail among all the people t as is seen from the numbers of addresses sent up to the Cortes and Oovernment, by all the bodies of the army, navy, active and local militia, public functionaries, literary corporations, clergy, deputations, municipalities, in short, by all classes and individuals in the State. The Pilote of yesterday evening contained the following letter, signed by 150 citizens, officers, sub-officers, and privates of the four legions of the National Guard :-- " TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE PILOTE. " SIR—We have read with attention the Order of the Day of March 7, 1023, addressed by M. Polissart de Quatremere, Colonel of the 4th Legion, to the officers and sub-officers of this Legion, in which he tells them they have heard with just indignation of the conduct of Af. Mercier on the 4th, in re fusing to obey the order given by Captain Fremont to seize M. Manuel, Member of the Chamber of Deputies. On the contrary we declare, far from having felt the senti ment which is attributed to us by the Colonel at the courageous and patriotic conduct of M.

In Gerona a workshop has been opened to mount the large quantity of gun-carriages we have here, and already this is in a very forward state. A comp a ny o f vo l unteer artillery has been formed, which already does duty, and several other vu. lunteer corps are also prepared for active service.
