r AMERICA. From New York and Washingtoa Papers to the 19th ult (From the Morning Courier and Inquirer.) f• It is alleged, and we call upon the Globe for information Its to theStruth of that allegation, that a formal demand was made upon the French Ministry, by Baron Rothschild, in his capacity of Banker of the U.l4e,d States, for the indemnity voted Udder the late Act.of the Freixii Legialatiom T. this demand the Ministry a decided negative, unless -ncconi. pang&l , 7v.ith an iapfanition of the offensive language used in the message of 1835. In consequence of such refusal, Roths child is said to have inquired whether the reply was official and final,. and received for answer that if his application was to be considered official and authoriied, then the answer was of.course also to be so considered, and that it was final as to the intentions of the. French Government. Upon this Roths child-is said to have agreed that the demand should not be con sidered official, and that his communication to the President of these facts should be of an unofficial nature, accompanied with such suggestion§ for the Minister as would lead to an adjust ment of our difficulties. " This being settled, Rothschild, it is said, addressed a jet tar to the President, advising him of what had transpired, and assuring him unofficially from the French Ministry that if he would cause his approval of Mr. Livingston's letter to be offi cially communicated to the. French Government it would be considered an ample explanation of his message, and the in demnity be paid. To this General Jackson demurred, and took, as we think, a very proper and dignified position. He sa id, I w ill no t ,use any such notice of my approval of Mr. Livingston's letter to bt; given to France or any other Power. The letter was official, and has been by me publicly approved. If France will apprise me officiAlly that such approval when communicated officially to that . Government will be satisfac tory, and the indemnity in consequence be paid, I will not he sitate a moment to cause it to be do ne ; but I cannot take so unu sual a course without an official assurano that it will not lie rejected and further explanation demanded.' " The Washington Globe of the 13th ult., the official organ of the American Government, thus comments on the above statement ; " THE TREATY. "The United States Gazette of this morning avers that it has learnt what follows : " The French King and Ministers are certainly desirous of having the business settled agreeably to the treaty, but they must justify themselves to the Chambers and the nation. They, however, neither desire nor expect any explanation which can in the remotest degree reflect dishonour upon the Government of the United States. It would be sufficient that the President in his next message should express his conviction that the French King's Government had acted in good faith (and there can be no doubt of the fact), and to express hii surprise that his former message had :2eeri con strued into a menace, as the very reverse was declared ppon the face of it.' " All this, however, can be nothing more than presump tion. Until the treaty has been executed—that is, until the 'indemnity, now universally acknowledged to be due, has been paid—the President is not likely to be convinced that the French King's Government has acted in good faith, and have no right to ask or expect that he will express in his message what he does not feel. The New Courier and Inquirer of yesterday furnishes this story.' " Here the Gazette gives a long cock-and. bull story from Webb's paper about a formal demand upon the French Ministry by Baron Rothschild, &c., &c. (who was never authorised to make a demand, and never made one) and about assurances, unofficially, from the French Ministry , that if he would cause his approval of Mr. Livingston's letter to be officially communicated it would be considered an ample explanation, ' &c., &c. There is, however , no thing in these speculations and inquiries of the New York print worthy of reply ; but we may add a word in support of what Mr. Walsh has said to the United States Gazette. " This print asserts that the President should, before the first movement towards a compliance with the treaty on the part of the French King, express his conviction, that the French King's Government had acted in good faith.' Now let us see what the • good faith' of the French King obliges him to do, according to his own solemn declaration, as a man and a Magistrate. Here arc his words, signed with his own name, upon the treaty : " TRANSLATION OF THE RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY OF JULY 4, 1831, BY THE RING OF THE FRENCH. " We, having found the above convention agreeable in all and each of the dispositions therein contained, do declare by ourselves, as well as by our heirs and successors, that it is accepted, approved, ratified, and confirmed ; and by these presents, signed by our hand, we do accept, approve, ratify, and confirm it, promising, on the faith and word of a King, to observe it, and to cause it to be observed inviolably, without ever contravening it, or suffering it to be contravened, directly or indirectly, for any cause or under any pretence whatever. In faith whereof we have caused our seal to be affixed to these pres..ents. Given at the Royal Palace, the thirty-first day of August, one thousand eight hundred and thirtydone. "'LOUIS PHILIPPE. "'By the King, " HORACE SEBASTIANI.' " Let us suppose that the first violation of this most sacred and sovereign act was excusable, upon the ground that the Chambers refused to appropriate; let us suppose that the delay of the King, in the first instance, in bringing the subject be fore the Chambers, and subsequent postponement of the fulfilment of M. Serurier's promise—that the subject should be brought to the consideration of the new Chambers at the earliest possible moment—fully accounted for ;—what is to satisfy the world at large now, when the money is actually voted, for the continued violation of that covenant on the part of the King, which he has so solemnly vowed, on the word of a King,' shall be inviolable ; shall be ' observed without contravening, or suffering it to be contravened, directly or in directly, for any cause or under any pretence whatever ?' " The world will say whether the King, who has the Presi dent's express declaration that' no menace was meant by the message—whether the King, who has Mr. Livingston's several letters, disavowing for his Government the false construction put upon the message by the factious at home and abroad to torture it into insult—whether the King, who has already received through the same channels whence the message reached him the President's official approbation of Mr. Li vingston's official disavowal, twice repeated in his commu nications, does not, in continuing to withhold the payment of the indemnity, upon the plea that this point is not suffi ciently explained, contravene the treaty, not for any cause which he is pledged not to allow to operate, but for a mere pretence, which the terms of his ratification still more empha tically forbids. " The public will be able to decide hereafter, if they cannot now, what the promises and good faith of certain Kings arc worth. They assuredly are very slow in fulfilling them, com pared with Republican Presidents. The ratification by the President was as follows : " ' Now, therefore, be it known that I, Andrew Jackson, President of the United States of America, have caused the said Convention to be made public, to the end that the same and every clause and article thereto may be observed and ful filled with good faith by the United States and the citizens thereof.' " In consequence of this, the 'President and Congress at once passed the necessary laws, givin g France great privileges and benefits under the treaty, which she has been enjoying ever since, while not a dollar has yet been paid to us. " Look on this pictnre and on this'---Republican faith and promises in America contrasted with Kingly faith and pro mises in France." FROM TEXAS. " GONZALES, OCT. 3.—Your letter of September 27 has been received, and we rejoice to see that volunteers are on their march to our assistance. The Rubicon is crossed, and it is now of vital importance to Texas that we should be imme diately reinforced. " About 12 o'clock, on the 20th, the military, about 200 in number, arrived on the western bank of the Guadaloupe, and attempted the passage of the river, but were repulsed by 18 men (the whole force then in the place) ; they then encamped on the mound at De Witt's. On the Ist of October, about 12 o'clock, they took up their march and encamped about seven miles above this place, in a very strong position. " Suspecting that their object in this movement was either to wait for a reinforcement from San Antonio, or to cross at the upper crossing, about fifteen miles above, it was deter mined to attack them before their plans could be carried into execution. Accordingly, on the same night, the whole force, on foot, amounting to about one hundred and sixty men, from the Guadaloupe, Colorado, and Le Baca, commanded by Col. J. 11. Moors, crossed the river, attacked the enemy about day break, and put them to flight, without the loss of a single man. Inasmuch as we expect a formidable attack from Ugarteches, should the forces long remain idle, the determination is to at tack San Antonio, as soon as we can receive reinforcement?, to prevent this country from becoming the battle ground. This Committee, therefore, earnestly desire that you would use your influence to send to this place, as soon as possible, as many volunteers as possible. " Respectfully yours, " W. M. FISHER, Chairman. " Col. S. F. Austin, Chairman of Committee of Safety." Information, which is relied on, has been received from the Interior, that the States of Zacatecas and Guadalaxara have risen and taken up arms in defence of the Constitution of 1824, and in support of the federal system ;' also, that there arc insurgents in the State of Tamaulipas, in favour of the same cause ; also, that the Republican-General, Juan Alvarez, has gained a victory over the Government troops in the South of Mexico. • " NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS, OCT. 19.—We were delighted last night by the arrival of an express from the Brazos, by whom. we were informed of the complete success of the Ame ricans at Gan (Labshia) ; they had killed a few of the Lan cers (who are the flower or the Mexican army), and taken the rest prisoners, seized on the public store, taken possession o f 300 stand of arms and a number of horses. " General Cos's troops had departed from that place for Gonzales, and there we hope and believe he will be defeated ; as he is completely surrounded by Americans, he will have no , chance of retreat.—Yours, &c. " P. S. The stores taken by our men were worth ! 0,000 dollars; they had been landed at Copano, and destined for St. Antonio, for the use of the Mexican army. There arc now 50 men here from Tanaho, who are just starting for the seat of war ; 90 volunteers left here a few days since.:—Yours, &c. " J. CABLE." TExAg.—WC understand that the District Attorney for this district has received instructions from the State Department to keep a sharp look out in his district on the course of things tending to interfere with the friendly relations now existing between this Government and Mexico.

We have seen letters from Lisbon of the 29th ult., brought by the steamer London Merchant. The capital remained tranquil, but the position of the Ministry was very precarious and difficult, on - account of the poor state in which the treasury was.: It, is said that M. CAMPOS intends to transmit to London about 30,000 sovereigns for the payment of the divi dends due on the Ist January, and the remainder in bills upon the Portuguese agents in England. For this purpose he was in negociation with the Bank to advance him that sum, for which the Directors will draw likewise on their agents. The writers state, that even this difficulty being arranged, the new Ministry cannot succeed in provid ing the necessary funds for the payment of about 140,0001. Treasury Bonds, due on the Ist of January next ; payable in London. M. GOMEZ DE CASTRO, one of the Lords, and Secretary of the Treasury, had been dismissed ; and almost every body was convinced that the new Minis try would be obliged to give way as soon as the Cortes assembled. In the Paris Papers of Sunday, the whole of which we have just received, we find several long articles on the chances of a war between France and the United States. The following, from the Moniteur of Sunday, which may be regarded as official, is deserving of at- tention : " The Gazette de France, after reprinting the text of the article which appeared in the Moniteur of the 4th inst., ex. presses itself as follows :—' To the laconic expressions of this explanation we will add some details, the correctness of which we think ourselves able to guarantee. Yes, immediately after the vote of the law of the 25,000,000, the Minister for Fo reign Affairs did write to the Charge d'Affaires of France to, communicate to General Jackson the amendment introduced into the law, and to assure him that the French Ministry would be content with the smallest retractation. The French envoy said to hirri—' If you consent in your message at the opening of Congress to intimate that you have perhaps allowed a little vivacity to appear in your complaints, the French Go vernment will hold itself perfectly satisfied, and all will be ended.' But what the article of the Moniteur does not say is, that General Jackson did not deign to reply to these hints of the French envoy, and that it was the very day after they were made that the order was sent to Mr. Barton to leave Paris. Now, we would ask any man of conscience and of good faith, if there be a Government on earth that would have dared six years ago to treat a Charge d'Affaires of France with so much disdain ?" _ " The correspondent of the Gazette is assuredly very badly informed. It is false that the object of the communication made by order of the French Government to the Government of the ,United States was to obtain the insertion, of s4ch .or such expressions in the next Message. The Governinent.con fined itself to the official communication of the existence and the tenour of the law of the 17th of June, 1835, the duties which that law imposed or, it, and the nature of the explana tions it had a right to expect. It is false that the communi cation made by order of the French Government to the GO vernment of the United States remained without reply. The communication was verbal, and the answer was verbal. Of the same nature were the communications exchanged at Paris between the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Charge d'Affaires of the United States. The documents relative to these conferences will be laid on the table of the Chamber of Peers, and on that of the Chamber of Deputies. If it has not been possible to come to an arrangement, there will at least be nothing found in these papers to make the misunder standing between the two countries more serious than it is. Nevertheless, the recall of the Charg6 d'Affaires of the United States, coming, as it does, after the proposal of measures made last year by the President to Congress against French property, certain precautions have become necessary. Under such circumstances the French Government was bound to pre pare for the protection of national interests against any event which might arise. Such is the object of the armaments which are taking place in our ports. That object is purely defensive. There does not exist at this moment any legitimate cause of war between France and the United States, and in no case will France be the aggressor." Upon this version of the diplomatic negotiations between the Governments of France and the United States, the National has the following caustic observations : " If none but verbal communications have taken place since Mr. Livingston's last letter, it is the French Government that has set the example of such mode of nbgotiation. M. Pageot, the Charge d'Affaires at Washington, was desired to raconter to Mr. Forsyth that the French Chambers had voted an amend ment subjecting the execution of the Treaty to a reparation for the injurious language of the message. Mr. Forsyth ver bally replied that he would take no notice of M. Pageot's nar rative. Mr. Barton demanded of the Duke de Broglie ' in the way of conversation, on what d a y it would p lea s e the French Government to,pay down the money, and the Duke, in his turn, replied, like Mr. Forsyth, that he had nothing to say to such a question. " Such are, probably," adds the National, " the important communications to be deposited upon the ta bles of the Chambers, and, no doubt, the Chambers will do justice to the profound ability and undeniable sense of dignity that have been displayed in the negotiations." We are not in a condition to speak with a degree of certainty upon the result of these negotiations, but if both parties are intent upon the preservation of their own interests there will be no war.. All n ill now de. Pend upon the tenor of the PRESIDENT'S message to Congress. We are ourselves strongly opposed to a declaration of War between France and the United States because we do not see how England could remain neuter ; secondly, because we are more convinced, from the events of every day, that we, in conjunction with France, arc on the eve of a war s with Russia. Now it would be. extremely difficult for us to take the field as the ally of France against Russia, and yet to remain passiVe in the case- of a war with the United States—which at the outset would .have a powerful effect on the British possessions in the New World. Our position, in the' event of such an oc currence, would be indeed a delicate one in the extreme. There is no other news of moment in the French Journals of Sunday. PhalS, DEC. B.—The numbers of the Vapor of the 25th, 26th, and 27th of November arc almost entirely destitute of political interest. General Mina has given orders for 10,000 uniforms, and enjoined all officers who are absent from their corps to join them immediately. It is affirmed that M. Ouvrard, whose life has been so full of activity and adventure, and who had been absent from Paris since the Revolution of 1830, returned a few days ago to endeavour to obtain subscriptions for a loan opened in Hol land for Don Carlos, and to be guaranteed by the King of Naples and other powers. It is said the plan has not suc ceeded. -13 ya letter from St. Sebastian, of Nov. 23, we learn posi tively that Jaureguy ( El Pastor) has just made himself master of Villareal, a little town in Biscay, twelve leagues from Biaboa, and that two other divisions, commanded by Espar tero, have just arrived in the same country. -Other accounts,. of the 29th, say that the Carlists continue, however, to keep Sebastian in a kind of state of blockade, and that the authorities of the city seem studiously to avoid doing anything to repulse them. Perhaps it is a stratagem, for no thing would be more easy than to render the avenues •to .the place free.=-Indicateur. _ _ r- -- As soon as the Chambers meet, the Minister will ask for an extraordinary vote for credit, to cover the expenses of the naval armaments which are now making. A journal says that the expense already incurred is reported to amount to eight Mil- • lions.—/Ifessay' er, Dec. 6. - PARIS, DEC. 6.—TORTONI'S, HALF-PAST ONE.—The of ficial last price of the Three per Cents. for the 'Account:was yesterday ( Saturday) 79f. 90c. ; but it was rather a manoeuvred quotation, and immediately after the ringing of the b4l 79f. 80c. was done in the Coulisse, and then 79f. 75c. The jobbers to-day seem afraid, and the business is very unimportant. The little done has been 79f, 75c. and 79f. 80c. New York papers to the 19th inst. inclusive have just been forwarded to us via Liverpool. Copious extracts from them will be found in another co lumn. It will be seen from them, that the question of a war with France is as much agi tated in the political circles of New York and Washington, as in the salons of Paris. Inde pendently of every other consideration, we are opposed to such a war, because it would derogate from the na- tional honour of the French nation. If France resolve upon hostilities, let her, for the sake, of her own honour, precede them by a payment of a debt which she herself has acknowledged to be justly due to the United States. The debt being once recognized, cannot be liquidated by a threat or a menace, however gratifyng to the vanity of France. The only honourable and just course which France can pursue is to pay the debt first, and afterwards demand such apologies as she may think due to her. As we have repeatedly said France is too powerful, and her prowess too well known, for her to entertain fears with respect to being supposed to pay any debt under the influence of fear. If she herself labours under such an apprehension, she can easily dispel it after paying the debt. She can then demand what reparation she pleases, and if refused, she will be as able to assert her own dignity as she is at present. She will also have the sympathies of all honest and impartial Statesmen in her favour=which she cannot have, if she declare war before paying the twenty-five millions of francs due to the Government of the United States. We have, however, good grounds , for believing that he whole affair will terminate amicably. France is ev: dently is aware that she would lose more than the twenty•five 'Millions of francs by the injury her trade would sustain; and neutral parties have made overtures to Louis PHILLIPPE, which are likely to meet with prompt attention. A war between two Libe ral Governments on a question which, after all, amounts to little more than an alleged breach of diplomatic etiquette, is really too ridiculous to be contemplated in the nineteenth century. In a letter to the Editor of the Leeds Times, whit will be found in another part of The Sun, Mr O'CONNELL announces that he has not " abandoned the pursuit of the Repeal of the Union ;" but that, on the contrary, he is as " thoroughly convinced as ever, that Ireland will never be well or honestly governed, until she has a domestic legislation of her own." He adds, however, that he has been induced to postpone the agitation of the measure for two reasons :—First, " to give, in the full spirit of candour and fair play, room for the entire working out of an experiment of whether Ireland can have a just and beneficial Govern ment without Repeal ;" and secondly, because that country " is not as yet ripe for a simultaneous effort." We regret to find Mr. O'CONNELL still harping on the question of Repeal, and playing, as it were, fast and loose with it, just as the whim of the moment may suggest ; at one time leading his readers to sup pose that he has recovered the use of his , senses and abandoned it ; and at another, that he is just as great an enthusiast in its favour as ever. Far better lie dis missed the qUestion at once from his mind, and . directed his attention to matters a thousand times mere.pressing. A Reform in the House of Lords, for-instance, 'is a theme on which he cannot, bestow too attentive a consideration ; and by doing his best to fur ther this, lie will be rendering himself a much 'more efficient benefactor to his. countrymen, than if lie were to keep them in a state of constant ex citement, by buoying them up with hopes which he knows, full as well as we can tell him, never can and never will be realized. We pass by with the indiffe rence they deserve, all Mr. O'CoNNELL's crotchety notions on the subject of Repeal; but not so do we treat his remarks on " Peerage Reform," for these are worthy of most serious attention. The latter and better portion of his letter is wholly devoted to this subject, and contains his plan for reforming the Upper House, which is as follows First—l take the English Peerage, and I find they amount altogether to 421 ; there are twelve peeresses whose sons will be Peers, total 433. The Irish Peers, the greater part of whom never saw Ireland, are 202 ; of these no less than 72 are included in the English Peerage, leaving 130 Irish Peers to be added to the 433 English, total 563 ; add for Scotland 57, not being English Peers ; the otal of the existing Peers will thus amount to 620 persons. I reckon the Irish and Scotch Peers as well as the English, for they certainly should be put on a footing of perfect equality, else the Union is a mockery to them. In order to carry the Bill for the Reform of the House of Lords, it would be necessary to create a new batch of Peers, and it would be wise in that case to create a large number, suppose 180, so as to render the success of the Bill quite cer tain; it would be useful in another point of view to have a great addition to the present peerage, because there would be this important advantage, that the number of persons eligible to sit in the Upper House of Parliament being so much greater, the people would have a large range fer selection. Taking then the present Peers at 620, and adding 180, you would have 800 Peers altogether. I propose that the House of Lords should 'in future consist of 150 onl y-that these 150 sh ou ld b e el ecte d b y t h e peo pl e , out of the 800. The 800 Peers would be the sole persons eligible. The electors I propose to be the people at large. For that purpost-, I propose that Great Britain and Ireland should be divided into 150 districts, as nearly equal in point of population as possible. Each district to elect one Peer. Every householder to be an elector ; and, for my part, I should most anxiously desire that the electors should have the protection of voting by ballot. It is included in my plan. It seems to me that as the number of the eligible would be limited, the electors ought to be as numerous as possible. I propose that the number of Peers sho u ld never be less than 500. Ido not propose in any way to restrict the Royal prerogative of creating, Peers. The more Peers the King may create, the greater would be the opportunity afforled for the people of making a good choice. I propose that the Legislative body of the Peers should be elected. for five years ; one-fifth to go out annually, with the full capacity of being re-elected. - This plan would leave the prerogative of the Crown un touched. The King would have the power to create as many Peers as he pleased. The only limitation would be. in the opposite sense. There should be always 800 Peers—there are now 620. _ _ _ ..„.. This then is the summary of my plan. Let the liouse of Lords for legislation be reduced to 150. There set:l°m attend so many, except for bad purposes. Let the selection of 150 be given in districts, which may with the utmost facility be framed for that purpose. My plan would include household suffrage, and vote by ballot. We perfectly agree with Mr. O'CoNNELt. in his proposal to introduce the elective principle into the House of Lords ; but we question the propriety of his confining the Aristocratic Legislators to so - small a number as a hundred and fifty; for at ,seasons when party spirit ran high, such a number would be more likely to answer the purposes of faction than a more extended one. However, the subject is one, not to be hastily or rashly decided on; for the welfare of millions is mixed up with it, and a single false step might be productive of mischiefs which scarce a century would repair. For the present, there fore, we content ourselves with the remark that the House of Lords must be reformed, and the sooner this is set about in a judicious, temperate, and Constitutional spirit, the better will it be, both for the Peers themselves, and the country, which is, more or less, subjected to their domination. The very idea of an Upper House legislating on irresponsible principles, when the head of the State himself is, to a certain extent, responsible, and the House of Commons is subject to the most rigid responsibility, is an absurdity of the 'grossest character. This was apparent even before the passing of the Refoim Bill. How much more so, then, must it be now, when not a Session passes but its effects are seen and felt by the whole community ? A Reform of the Lords is the necessary sequel of a Reform of the Commons ; and till this be effected, the task of Constitutional regeneration is but half accomplished. 4,*t • I V! 4 - , , _cwki.nia+ We can answer. There will be no War. The Senate will not go to war ; and it is because the dominant faction believe this, that they are preparing the materials fur an excitement en the French question. Without information we cannot speak ; but from our knowledge of their crooked policy we venture to pre dict, that while the Message itse:f will be much milder than either party expect, it will carefully avoid every thing which Would terminate the difficulty, leasing the question and expla nation open. This being done, Congress will be called upon for large appropriations fee the ;limy and navy ; and, if pos silrle, an issue will be made wilt the Senate on these appro priations. If they carry, they give fat contracts, and purchase Up the venal and enterpriiing for the Executive nominee. If they fail, then we shall have a clamour about the national honour ; and all the notes which can be sung will call in the faithful to support the Executive. We have long foreseen that the Administration would keep the French question open. They will not consent to put Mr. Van Buren before the coun try upon his own merits. Ex-President Adams left his residence in Quincy, yester day, with his family, for Washington. The health of this illustrious citizen is remarkably firm, and his spirits as.buoyant as youth, especially after the recent election in this State.

I declare in a state of siege the whole district of the Cap tain-Generalship of Catalonia. 2. In consequence, the military authority absorbs and concentrates in itself the entire administration of the district. 3. Nevertheless, the authori ties actually in functions will continue to administer, except such general charges and dispositions as I may thin, proper to make. 4. I reserve to myself the power of modifying present dispositions, with respect to pe rsons and things, as long as the state of siege may last, for the better expedition of affairs. 5. A delay of fifteen days is granted, from the present publica tion, to the insurgents, during which they may lay down their arms. 6. This delay expired, rebels taken with arms in their hands shall undergo the penalty authorised by law. 7. Those who give succour of any kind to the Carlists shall be shot ; those who shall be carrying such objects of succour as arms, ammunition, or provisions, to the Carlists, shall be liable to the same punishment ; also those who provoke citizens to rebel lion. 8. Whoever holds or is the bearer of correspondence with the enemy, shall be treated in like manner. 9. Every magistrate, bOli, alcade, curate, and master of a family inha biting a hotellerie, or isolated house, in which the rebels may have taken refuge, shall be subject to the same punish ment, unless he can ,prove that he has only ceded to superior force, or that he has given due notice immedi ately to the proper authorities. 10. Fathers, tutors, masters, and heads of families, shall be responsible both in their per sons and in their property for the evils inflicted by such rebels as may be of their family or household upon loyal citizens. 11. To arrive at the payment of this indemnity, the mode of proceeding shall be simple and summary.—The plaintiff shall present his demand to the bailli or alcade competent in the matter, who shall, as well as his syndic, affix his,signature to the foot of the request, and upon the production of this docu ment the nearest commandant d'annes shall give the plaintiff a saisine upon the personal and real estate of the criminal. 12. In case such estates should not have sufficient to indem nify the demandants, there shall be levied a forced tax in pro portion to the amount deficient, upon all persons notoriously hostile to the Queen's Government. The municipality shall in this case be charged to draw up the list of the persons liable. I myself will give the final decision. 13. All this au thorities of Catalonia shall see to the execution of the pre sent decree ; all neglect or contravention shall meet with the most rigorous punishment. 14. The present decree to be published with all the necessary and customary formalities. ( Signed) The Capt.-Gencral FRANCISCO ESPOZ Y MINA. Given at Barcelona, this 29th of Nov., 1835. BiLeox, Nov. 22.—1 wrote to you yesterday ; since then a rather curious circumstance has occurred. Mr. Heyward, clerk of his Majesty's ship Rinydove (lying at Portugalette), went on shore on the sands in front of the ship to amuse him self with his gun ; straying a little out of sight of the ship, he was seized by eight Carlists, who took him off to the moun tains, telling him they would do him no hPrrn, but he mnst send on board for money to pay his ransom, since money they wanted, and would have. Mr. Heyward wrote accordingly, and his letter was instantly forwarded to Captain Lapidge, who happened then to be in Bilboa. Captain Lapidge imme diately wrote to the different Carlist chiefs in thet neighbour hood demanding his release, and directly afterwards went down the river to Portugalette ; on reaching the Ringdove he found another letter from Mr. Heyward, saying that they had marched him some 10 miles up the country, and were very pressing for the money, which they fixed at 80 dollars. After much negotiation, Captain Lapidge, finding they were deter mined not to give the young gentleman up without being paid a ransom, determined to give them half their demand, for he feared, should he refuse entirely to pay any thing, the brigands would kill him and run off. Accordingly, upon being paid 40 dollars, they returned Mr. Heyward to his friends, but they kept his gun and whatsoever he had about him. GERMAN PAPERS. ANCONA, Nov. 20.—8 y the last ships that have arrived from Greece, we have news to the 9th November. The Greek seamen, as well as the letters, express them indeed with much reserve ; but some of the latter speak rather more plainly, among which is a letter, dated the 7th November, from a mer chant lately settled in Athens, which contains the following passage:—" How do matters go on ? Admirably, say the people' in the Chancellor's office. Never were the people more satisfied, or the prospects for the future better. ' Other people say the contrary. In the month of October there was once, for five days together, not a drachm in the treasury, and but for bills from Bavaria to the amount of two millions of drachms, all would have been over." Letters from Silesia say that the fermentation in the interior is assuming a very alarming character. The Romeliots have 4,000 men under arms, several ships of the Suliots and other tribes are at their head, and nobody thinks of opposing them by force. They demand their rights— a national assembly. In the Peloponnesus there are meetings in Kalavista, Karytrar, Arcadia, Prygos, and Kalamata, where they discuss measures of unarmed resistance. ' As the Capitani in Romelia, so here the Prelates take the lead, collcct their adherents armed to be ready in case of need. They are in correspondence with the Rumeliots, and have it in contemplation to issue, a declara tion that no tithes will be paid to the Government 'until a National Assembly shall have been called, and an account laid before it of the application of the first two-thirds of the loan, and of the money which has been paid by the. country. In consequence of this the most alarming reports are spread, which still more impede the operations of the Government. The state of affairs, it is said, has hitherto been imperfectly known to the King ; but the truth has in part reached him, and after a violent altercation with Count Armansperg, he has commanded the latter to recal Koletti. This is tb-day the general report in the city, and the impression it makes is fa vourable. It is impossible for matters to go on as they have done. The Regency has mistaken its course from the very beginning. ZURICH, Nov. 29.—The troubles in Argovia, which looked and were thought to be more serious than they really were, are already at an end. The districts of Brengarten and Mure were occupied by' Argovian troops, without any resistance having been attempted. The temper of the Catholic popula tion was, however such, that it was beceSCary idendeavour to appease them by promises. The troops could not permanently effect anything against the will of the people, from among whom they are taken, and with whom they are connected. The. Great Council approved the measure of the Government, while a considerable minority declared against such approba tion, and especially M. Herzoy, the old Burgomaster, and Dr. Feer severely blamed the precipitation of the Govern ment. Upon this the Great Council, by a majority approach ing to unanimity, gave an authentic interpretation, of the form of the oath, and in fact complied in substance . with the demands of the Catholic clergy. The Great Council declared that such an inaccurate interpretation of the oath (as if it contained something contrary to the Catholic religion and the laws of the Church) was neither in its intention nor in its legal ordinance ; consequently, that from its law of Nov. 6, 1835, nothing' could or should be inferred contrary to the Catholic religion, the rights of the Church, or the ecclesiasti cal laws recognised in the State. It further ordered that this authentic interpretation should be always inserted in the regis ter of the administration of the oath. Lastly, the majority resolved to express to the Little Council the wish that the military measures should cease, in proportion as the occasion was removed. If we ask the results of this whole fermentation, they seem to be, in fact, very trifling. The best probably is, that the two extremes have again been made sensible that little is to be effected by violence. Those who, perhaps, thought of overturning the new order of thirgs have again found that they cannot stand in open combat, and the meddlers in Church affairs have learnt, that by exaggeration a contrary effect is produced.—Allgenzeine Zeitung, Dec. 2. Satunlay information was communicated to the va rious police-offices, that two young girls, Mary Anne Coatsworth and Emma Spendelow, each aged about 15, were missing. They had left their homes as usual, on Fri day morning, to attend a school in Great Quebec-street, New-road. Not having returned in the evening, inqui ries were made, when it was ascertained that they were missing from their school between 1 and 2, and were subsequently seen going in the direction of Charing-cross, in company with two gentlemen of dashing appearance. No further tidings were heard of them till Saturday morning; when Mr. Spendelow had a letter from his daughter, bearing the Oxford street post-mark, stating that she was perfectly comfortable, and in the company of a gentleman who had plenty of money ; that they were going abroad, but would return in a few years, when she would pay him a visit. No doubt is entertained' that the girls have become the victims of some villains. The police are using every endeavour to discover them. BASSISHAW WARD. ELECTION OF ALDERMAN.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Montreal Papers to the 13th November, and Quebec to the lth November, have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. (From the Montreal Papers. ) At length the usual courtesy of replying by address to the speech of his Excellency, from the Throne, by both branches of the Legislature, has been complied with, and to the exclu sion of much other matter, our columns are this day occupied with that proceeding from the Assembly. In length it does not fall short of the speech which necessarily called it into existence, and in perusing it our readers will be able to satisfy themselves, of the correctness of our previous remarks. That 'to the revolutionists much was positively conceded by the terms of that speech, they will find that a general thanksgiving for concession made pervades the whole of the address, and what might 'naturally be expected, the balance of their claims, to speak in mercantile phrase, is demanded with more than ordinary pertinacity. There is a good deal of arrogance displayed throughout the whole of this document. Thre is also much credit assumed for liberal feelings, and not a little profession of principles which almost every one of their acts belies ; and if the Cana dian discovers in the Governor's speech some little touches of " blarney," he will be willing no doubt to allow that the House has .repaid his Excellency with interest. However much we may find fault with this hypocritical and fawning address, we are much inclined to pass it over at the present moment, and reserve our strictures for that Administration whose system of concilia tion is now inducing the Assembly to refuse every one of their proposals, while it will grasp at all they may be disposed to abandon' s ; the Whig Ministry will find at the close of the present session, that no act will be passed for the payment of the 31,000/. taken from the military chest to defray the ex penses of the Government, and no permanent provision for the general expenses of the province. QUEBEC, MONDAY, Nov. 9.—At 2 o'clock the House went up to the Castle of St. Louis, and presented their Address, to which the following answer was returned by his Excel- lency : " I thank you for this address, and especially for the flat tering and kind manner in which you have spoken of myself. It will be my constant study to adhere faithfully to the line of conduct which I stated to you at the opening of the session, and I shall feel truly rejoiced to find that course promote the good understanding which it is so desirable to see re-esta blished in this province."

This was an action to recover a sum of 300/. for a breach of covenant in a lease, and for delapidations occasioned by the negligence of the defendant. Mr. J. JERVIS \ appeared. for the plaintiff, and Mr. F. KELLY for the defendant. After the case had been stated, Mr. KELLY, for the defendant, suggested that the matter should be left to the decision of agentle!non of the bar, who would be empowered to assess the amount of damage sustained, and state what sum should be laid out on the repairs of the premises. After some discussion as to the terms of the arbitration, Counsel for the plaintiff assented, and a verdict for tho plaintiff was then entered by consent. , - This being the only case for trial to-day, the Court rise at half-past ten o'clock. EXCHEQUER COURT.--(THIS DIY) HILL V. LLOYD. The plaintiff in this case was an upholsterer in Hatton garden, who brought his action against an attorney of Cheap side for the balance of an account amounting to 288/. 12s. sd• for goods furnished him in 1829, 1830, and 1831, and upon 3 bill of exchange for 201. Mr. ERLE having stated the case, called a Mr. Young, who proved the delivery of the goods, but in his cross-exP.mination it turned out that he had been a partner with t l- .,e plaintiff during two of the years. Mr. HUMPHREY took the objection, but offered to waive it if the whole matter were referred. The offer was accepted , and a verdict taken for the plaintiff, subject to such reference. MITCHELL V. JACKSON. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS stated that this action was brought by two carpenters, to recover for work and labour done upon a house of the defendant's at CheshrAnt.. They had b e en en gaged to do certain work under a contract entered into be tween the defendant and a mason named- Cheek. After they had commenced the work, they found that they were required to do much more than was speci fied in their contract ; and on the plaintiff complain ing of that to the defendant, be answered, " d—n the contract, you do your work as it ought to be done, according to the orders of myself or Mr. Izard (the clerk of the works), and I will pay you." He would prove that such a conversation took place more than once ; and that, in fact, such orders were given and acted upon. The defendant having got the work done as he wished independent of the contract, wished to stick to it when called upon for payment. How ever, he trusted that the Jury would not allow him to do so) the more especially as when the plaintiffs wanted to send in a surveyor to examine and estimate the work they had done, the defendant absolutely refused to permit him upon the premises , They had kept an account of what they had done, and under such circumstances the defendant must be bound by it. Several of the men who were at work on the house in ques tion, proved that they heard the defendant tell the plaintiffs to go on according to the orders of Mr. Izard, and he would pal them; and that he told them- 4, Not to spoil his ship, for want of a halfpenny worth of tar." Also, that the orders were all given by Mr. Izard. That finished the plaintiffs' case, the point of the items in the bill being reserved for arbitration, if the Jury found ',MI Mr. Jackson was liable. Mr. PLATT addressed the jury for the defendant. lie said the man who was sworn to have " d-d all contracts," BP' peared to have been the most cautious man who ever dealt with carpenters or builders. He' would shew that Mr. Jack' son being desirous to have his house repaired r'inteied into !! contract with Mr. Cheek for 180/. to do'all then - wanted. he was not skilled in carpentering he applied to his friend Mr,' Izard to superintend the whole of tile wink, am'A gave him di" rections to do nothing without a written contract, and, in fact! more work having been thought necessary, three or four other contracts were entered into with Cheek for : them. . Cheek P(B5 the only party with whom the defendant 'nud any thing to Of and he was actually paid the whole amc,unt .of his contracts; that was the reason the defendant reused to permit the sur' veyor to come on the premises,' for he denied that he owed the plaintiffs anything, and would not so. far admit it. He would prove further that when the plain.tiffs were in want of money while the work was going on, they; applied to Mr. Izard, cora', plaining that they could : get n'Jne from Cheek. Mr. Izar d said if they got Cheek's receipt for the money, he would Ol e it them, and they actually gave a receipt from Cheek, fo r 101., thereby showing that at was to him that they had give n the credit, and that to hirro it was they were to look. De' further, he held in his hand, and would put in the ac counts for the work now in question, which were We ° out by the plaintiffs to Cheek. From these circumstances the Jury would judge the probability of the plaintiffs' evidence . The Learned Gentleman then put in the specification O f the work to be done, and a contract entered into between the plaintiffs and Cheek, the whole of the carpenter's work to b e done for 401. Mr. Izard said he was engaged to superintend the works in question. He found the workmen standing idle, and he was not satisfied. He told Mitchell that he was not, and he wool give him 51. for his job, if he would leave it. The plaint! said he would go on with it. He was obliged to depart iron the specification. On all such occasions he made new contrac!!. with Cheek. He proved the handwriting of the plaintio Wood to several accounts, for extra work done at the house ill question. He paid Check for all the variations from the coo' tract, as soon as they were done. There was no carpenter' s work done that was not paid for to Cheek. Neither of th e plaintiffs applied for any money due from Mr. Jackson befor e Cheek was paid all that was due to him. The plaintiff then called two witnesses, who proved nothing' The Jury intimated to the Court that they had made of' their minds—they found for the defendant The Learned JUDGE said they must hear the Counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS then - replied. Because that Che e/ :, was not called, he contended the jury could not find for , defendant. His Lordship was about to sum up, when the Jury inte r; rupting, returned a verdict for the defendant. Consols for the Account, 91i.

Owing to the numerous robberies which happen in hou- 4 , c ; of bad fame, one half of which are never made public, as t' sufferers shrink from exposing their folly, the City authorit le :l in the several Wards have determined to abolish these a n other immoral practices, as far as possible. Charles Crowder and Mary Priest, his " Lady Abbe were indicted for keeping one of these dens of infamy in t Ward of Cripplegate. The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge, and enter into recognizances not to offend for one year. Several cases, of a similar nature, were afterwards d ir posed of.
