MORNING SUN SPAIN. The following decree was issued by the Regent on the 29th ult., and which may be termed the new Constitution of the Basque provinces : " TO HIS HIGHNESS THE REGENT. " Most Serene Senor—The rebellion which was ex cited against the lawfully constituted Government of this country has been crushed ; it now becomes the duty of the same Government to establish its triumph, and to put an end for ever to new reactions. The general attri butes conferred by the Constitution of the monarchy on the Executive, us well as the special powers granted by the law of the 25th of October, 1839, are sufficient to point out the line of conduct which it is now necessary to follow, freed as it is from the obstacles which formerly encountered it in a more legitimate form, but which have now completely disappeared. The deputations of the three Basque provinces, having falsified their in cessant protestations of loyalty, raised the standard of insurrection, but startled at the cry of horror uttered by the entire kingdom, they have abandoned the country which they intended to compromise, carrying with them the conviction that the Basques would not make common cause with rebels. The administration thus became helpless, and the superior political authorities saw at once the necessity of adopting provisional measures, in order that the action of the Government should not be paralysed, and in order that the serious evils thus threat ened might be avoided by the people. Under these cir cumstances, the first consideration suggested was that of reorganization, and the Minister who subscribes this paper is of opinion that a case has arisen for the appli cation of the principle of constitutional unity, and that to this principle must now be submitted every other spe cies of institution, however previously opposed to it. " The Government charged by the 45th article of the Constitution with the preservation of public order in the interior* cannot confide this case to mere agents, who boast of an absolute independence, and who have practised an opposition to its determination of so sys tematic and uninterrupted a kind as not even to stop at rebellion. The Government, though not professing principles of such extreme centralisation as to crush all provincial and municipal interests beneath the weight of the fiscal authority, proclaims the administrative unity and the real dependence of its agents in everything which relates to the functions conferred on them by the Government : to act otherwise would be to render any system of government impassible ; and such a thing as Ministerial responsibility would have no existence. Hence arises the necessity of confiding the protection and public security in the Basque provinces exclusively to the agents of the Government. " The action of the executive power is now the only one which suffers impediments under the present system. The Legislative authority receives a new veto which is not recognised, but rather repelled by the constitution. The laws solemnly sanctioned by the Crown, after having been voted by the Cortes, in which the Repre sentatives of those same provinces are sitting, as well as the decrees of the Government, are obliged to be sub mitted to the feral pase,f and those laws, and those de crees, which happen to please the provincial authorities arc the only ones which obtain their ratification. Neither is the judicial authority exempt from the ordeal of the pase ; its judgments are contravened by the strange in tervention of a Provincial Administration, which assumes to itself the power of impeding the execution of the ju dicial sentence. " Thus the pose conspires against the harmonious di vision of the high attributes of the State, against the dignity of the Crown and of the Cortes, against the powers of the Government, and against the judicial in dependence and authority of the courts of justice. Such an anomaly must therefore entirely cease to exist, inas much as it is incompatible with the fundamental laws of the monarchy. " The 69th article of the Constitution provides that the deputies of provinces shall be named by the same electors as the deputies to the Cortes. In the Basque provinces the right of electing is limited to a very few persons, and those do not represent the country ; in the province of Biscay the election is conducted by ballot. The absurdity of such systems of franchise has the ef fect of imposing on certain families awl casts the whole weight of the public burdens, so as to render them the patrimony of a .few. With respect to the ayuntarnientos, it is not the quality of Spaniard or of resident which confers the electoral right, active or passive ; to be an elector it is necessary to be an hidalgo, or a Biscayan by origin. The modes of election vary in every town, according to its peculiar ordinances and cus toms. Thus it happens, that froze the election made in council to that effected by the ballot, or by lot, there are manifold forms of municipal organization. Privilege takes the place of general rules, the municipal offices are retained in perpetuity by a few, who seem to assume the right of transmitting them to their descendants, and that article of the constitution is of no avail which declares that all Spaniards are equally admissible to public em ployment and public offices, according to their capacity or their merit. The time has come when such a mono poly must cease. Your Highness has promised to free the people from that disgraceful tyranny by ‘thich they are bound. The 69th and 70t4 articles of the consti tution must be now seriously realised. " The Minister who has the honour of addressing to your Highness these observations, proposes their appli cation to the Basque provinces, as the necessary means whereby to preserve the constitutional unity, and to free the people from the privileges which crush them. " The judicial organization which has been established, al® well at the instance of the towns themselves as from the obligation imposed on the Government of taking care that justice should be promptly ana completely ae miaistered, has already effected remarkable ameliora tions, notwithstanding the obstinate resistance of the deputations. Biscay-, whose judicial divisions and attri butes present a chaos, still exhibits the anomaly of deal dias rendered patrimonial by fuere—that is to say, that there yet'exists there the absurd principle that the obli gation of administering justice is a right, or privilege, which can be purchased and transmitted as any other species of goods which constitute the property of private individuals. The creation of judicial districts is an exi gency of society which can no longer be deferred. The establishment of custom-houses along the coast and frontier has always been considered as beneficial. It is recommended by all the good principles of adminis tration and economy. Agriculture, industry, and corn tierce, all equally require it, and it is exacted by the ne cessity of constitutional unity. These measures are by no means of a novel kind. In the reign of Philip V., and during the preceding constitutional epoch, they were - brought into ofnct ; in order to consult the good of the Basque provinces as well as that of the entire nation these same measures must be now adopted. "But this is not all ; until a permanent 3drninistra tion for the country be organised a provisional one must be created. The attempt lately made in Guipusooa§ has produced good results. The election of an admi.listra tire and deliberative commission ought to be extend sad to the provinces of Alava and Biscay, in order that by these means the collection, distribution, and employment of the public funds may be properly secured, and that Vic political and material necessities of the people may b. I consul ted. " These considerations induce me to submit to your highness the following project of a decree. ‘ z. FACUNDO INFANTE. " Vittoria, Oct. 29, 1841. " ' DECREE.

" The following is an extract from the General Order, conferring a new decoration on the National Guards of San &bastion, for the eminent services rendered by them during the period of the late ins urrection. The Nationals of Pampeluna are equally honoured :—" His Highness the Regent-of the kingd om , desiring to afford public tes- timony of the esteem which the loyal conduct of the troops under his command merited during the events which occurred from the 2d of thg present month, when the execrable rebellion of Don Mopold O'Donnell com menced, has been pleased to grant to the individuals com posing the force alluded to a cross of distinction confor mable to the model approved of, which those who are decorated may wear on the breast in the usual manner. His Highness has been also pleased to grant the same distinction to the individuals composing the National Militia of San Sebastian, as a reward for the patriotism and fidelity with which they distinguished themselves, protecting the important town entrusted to them from the very com mencement of the rebellion now so hap pily crushed." The following is a translation of the address to the Regent from the Ayuntamiento of San Sebastian:— TO THE REGENT OF THE KINGDOM, &C. " Victory crowned your brow with her laurels. You gave peace to the country, and the Spanish people con fided to your care the deposit of their laws, their honour, and their Queen. No one is so worthy of such great and such distinguished confidence. " An impious faction tried to deprive Spaniards of their rights and of their Government. You flew to crush it, and it had not courage to await you. Your name terrified the rebels; in flight alone they sought for safety. " We remained loyal, because we have sworn to remain so, and we have never, no, not once, violated our oaths — those oaths which repose on our convictions. "A second time the pacificator of our country, we render to your Highness the homage of our sincere gra titude. Deign to receive the protestations of the pure attachment which we profess. " And if our conduct merits the esteem of your High ness, our satisfaction will be complete, our desire will be gratified. " San Sebastian, Oct. 30." (Here follow the names of the members of the Ayun tamiento.) • The article to which Senor Infante refers is the follow ing :—" La potestad de hacer ejecutar las leyes reside en el Rei, y suautoridad se estiende a tode cuanto conduce a la con servacion del order public° en lo interior, y ala seguridad del estado en lo esterior, conform() a la constitution y a las leyes."—Constitution de la Monarquia Espanola, Tit. vi., Art. 45. t Pass is the privilege of affirming or rejecting the Royal decrees, or the enactments of the Legislature, assumed by the feral authorities within the Basque provinces. " Ayuntamientos will be chosen for the internal govern ment of the towns, to be named by those inhabitants on whom the law confers the right of elections."—Tit. xi., Art. 70. § Referring to the Commission of Finance named by the Political Chief a few days since, after the desertion of the deputation to Bergara, and to which I alluded in a late com munication.

By the Tagus steamer, which arrived at Falmouth on Friday with the Peninsula mails, we have received news from Gibraltar of the 28th, and from Cadiz of the 29th ult.; from Lisbon of the Ist, and from Oporto and Vigo of the 2d inst. LISBON, Nov. I.—The ten per cent. upon the interest of the national inscriptions of the public debt passed in the Senate on Wednesday last by a majority of 23 votes against 12 ; this law does not affect the bank of Lisbon, which holds 3,800 contos de reis (about 870,0001. ster ling), of this paper as mortgages for loans, nor the Fo reign holders, amongst whom Mr. Rothschild is one of the largest. In the Chamber of Deputies the debates have been principally of local interest. The discussion of the project for the sale of national property in Madeira and the Azore Islands, is not yet concluded. On Satur day last M. Jose Estevao, of the Opposition, availing himself of an " interpellation" of Ministers, begged to be informed if it were their intention to do away with the liberty of the press, as upon a review of late Minis terial proceedings the acts of the Government were fast verging towards absolutism. M. Aguiar, the Prime Minister, assisted by his colleague, M. Rodrigo da Fon seca Magalhaes, endeavoured to answer the arguments of their certainly able antagonist, but to no effect. The queries in point, it would appear, have arisen from the numerous actions brought by Government against the journals of the Opposition press, which amount at pre sent to 47. Many of these have already been decided against the Government, and the greater number re— maining are also expected to come off victoriously ; yet no doubt remains as to the object Ministers have in view —the ruin of the editors—because by the law lately framed by them, the editors, though acquitted, are liable to costs ! It has been decided in a Council of Ministers to grant to the Spanish refugees, who so recently entered Bra ganza, a subsidiary daily pay of 240 reis (about ls. 2d. sterling) to each of the officers, and 50 reis (or 3d. ster ling) to each rank and file. Yesterday was the third anniversary of the birth of the Infante Don Luis Felipe, Duke do Porto, second son of her Most Faithful Majesty; but, being only a pequena gala, no drawing-room was held; a few congratulatory visits were made at the palace.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 6.—Prince Joseph de Chimay, En voy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Bel gium, at the Court of the Netherlands, is appointed Governor of the province of Luxemburg. It is at his own request, made long ago, and lately repeated, that the Prince de Chimay receives another distinction which was indicated by himself. After having settled his family at Arlon, the Prince will re turn to the Hague to aid the negotiations which are pending, and to take leave of the King of the Netherlands. The King and Queen went the day before yesterday to the theatre to witness the performance of the Hugue nots. They were received with more than usual enthu siasm, and the representatives of all classes seemed de sirous to manifest their attachment to the Throne, and their disapprobation of the insane attempt of some indi -viduals blinded by party spirit.—Meniteur Beige. A view of the commerce of Belgium with foreign countries in the year 1841 has just been published by the Departments of Finance. It is a quarto volume of 200 pages. During 1840 the amount of goods imported was more considerable than ever was before. The same may be said of the transit trade, which has doubled in five years. If there is but a small increase in the ex ports, this is partly owing to a difference of several mil lions in the exportation of lemons. _ _ The bar of Brussels being fully engaged in the inves tigation of the conspiracy, refer to the competent tribu nals in the neighbourhood all the affairs which are not necessarily in the resort of Brussels. GREECE. ATHENS, OCT. 20.—King Otho is luxuriating in what he calls his victory over England—that is, in having obliged Mavrocordato to resign the Ministry, by which it has fallen into the hands of Christides and his set, who are complete creatures of his own. A number of the Constitutional party determined on raising a public .subscription in order to purchase a house or a small e.;tate to be presented to Mavrocordato as a mark of their esteem, and as a mark of national gratitude for his long and valuable services to the Greek nation ; it was announced through the public papers that a sum of 20,000 drachms was already collected, and that all those who wished to contribute their mite should • I apply to Professor Negris, of th e U n i vers ity, an d a M. Agellastos, a Sciot banker. The Govern ment took the alarm at such a decided step of ' the national party. They wrote furious articles against the subscription in their own paper, the Courrier Grec. But not content with that, the treasurers were cited be , fore the police court, ordered to give up the names of all those who had subscribed (which, of course, they re. [ fused), were threatened with prosecution, &c. ; they, ' nothing daunted, declared that they would receive any subscription offered them, and formally protested against such illegal proceedings on the part of the Government. Orders have been sent to all Governors, Heads of De , pertments, &c., and particularly to the gendarmerie, to pre:rent any individual from subscribing ; and if a single ein p/os , e of the Government dare to subscribe, he will be . 4 immedistely dismissed. I h ave , however, something stranger still to relate to you of King Otho. The Mirarque Tzinos (the man so often accused of torture. &c., and against whom the British mission has had to complain so often) was tried yesterday for several illegal acts, such as having struck the Editor of one of the papers in a cowardly manner ; c , 1 having illegally tortured divers British and Turkish s ibjects, &c. The trial is exciting the greatest bi te. rest, and, from the immense number of witnesses, is lil t ely to last some days. However, what does King Otho do on the first day of the trial? He invites Tzinos to dine at ( 'calm One of the Aides-de-Camp, thinking it might be s, 'me mistake, determined (a bold thing, bye the by) to as, k his Majesty if he was aware of the circumstance that . 't he man was on his trial, it being against all rule and reg u la don that under such circumstances an employe sho u l dbe invited to Court. The King, however, replied .he •w a Btu be tried for a few " nonsensical things." lt ant ha.ppy to inform you that the sentence has just , bets i p u bl i shed in the affair of the Mirarque Tzinos, and noti vithstanding all Court intrigue the Judges found him guilty, and he is sentenced to 40 days' imprisonment ; he a sys he k nows he shall have his Majesty 'S pardon.

NARRATIVE OF THE LATE EXPEDITION TO SYRIA. • G.C.8., &c. By P. HUNTER, Esq. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Afarlborough-street. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1841. the results may be seen, and they, on their return, may spread it in their respective localities, and that this as sembly will strenuously exert themselves in its promul gation. Our readers are aware that the National Daily Bread Society is founded on the principle of col lecting money to evade the Corn-laws, and is now a numerous body. Thus, practically, the people are resolving not to obey the law, while they are guilty of no acts of violence in evading or resist ing it.. While writers have shrunk from discuss ing the principle of obedience, the multitude have in their hearts felt that they had trespassed on its extreme bounds, and had reached a point where resistance becomes a virtue. As a confirmation of this, we may add that we have received several communications convincing us that opinions such as we have stated are daily extending in the manufacturing districts. One letter, which came yesterday from Greenock, says,—" I also hail with pleasure those vigorous remarks of your's, advocating the undoubted right of the people to resist unjust and atrocious laws whenever it is in their power." Our Corre spondent follows out his principle with an abun dance of zeal, and recommends the manufac turing and trading classes to cease their exer tions, and throw the toiling millions exclusively on the land for subsistence. Strange, but serious and earnest thoughts are thus forced into the minds of the multitude, by being obliged to toil " incessantly, without being able to procure food for themselves and their I children," while those who govern the commu nity, chiefly for their sake, wallow in sloth and luxury. That such things should be suffered to continue, when every man in the country knows as well nearly what is done, and what is its bear ings, as the Prime Minister himself, is, we con ceive, absolutely impossible. The alternative, therefore, which is offered to the landowners is, to change the law in due course by Parliament, or see it and the authority of Parliament de stroyed by general resistance. At a meeting of the unemployed at Paisley, on Tuesday last, (where, we regret to say, the dis tress continues to increase, without the means of relieving it augmenting in a like proportion), Sheriff CAMPBELL " passed a high eulogium on the manner in which the unemployed had con ducted themselves during this unexampled stag nation of trade. From his experience," he said, " as a Magistrate for forty years, notwithstanding all their privations, they had behaved in the most quiet and peaceable manner." Similar testimony can be, and ought to be, borne to the half employed, and the unemployed, throughout the kingdom. Though their suffer ings have been unexampled, their patience has been unequalled. Not a riot has taken place— not an outrage has been committed, to distinguish the present from times of the greatest prosperity. At the same time the public press has not been dumb. Bold discussion has not been spared, and has, perhaps, been substituted for violent actions. We notice this feature with great pleasure, be cause it exists in connection with the removal of a large portion of the stamp duties on news papers, and with no inconsiderable increase in provincial journals. We are reminded, too, by a pamphlet addressed to GEORGE BIRKBECK, Esq., the venerable founder of Mechanics' Insti tutions, just transmitted to us, that the pre sent patience, quietness, and good order of the people are so conspicuous, after mechanics' institutions have been established for nearly twenty years, and have done much to improve the morals and minds of the present generation of workmen. It ought to be a great encourage ment to statesmen to remit noxious taxes, which stand in the way of increasing knowledge, and to philanthropists to persevere in such good works as promoting education, when they find them accompanied by such beneficial results. It is instructive also, and ought to tinge the cheeks of some of our Contemporaries with shame, to contrast the peaceable behaviour of our suffering manufacturing population with the conduct of some classes of men abroad, whom in general all Governments are much more dis posed to honour than to honour the working people. A few days ago we received accounts from Belgium of an attempt to get up a rebel lion in that country, which must have been begun in blood and war. It seemed so pre posterous, that at first we were disposed to treat it as a hoax, but the commencement of judicial investigation satisfies us of its reality. In that case military men, out of mere wanton ambition, would involve their country in the horrors of a civil war. At the head of it are Generals and Colonels, men decorated with stars and ribands, belonging to a class for which Governments scarcely think they can do too much, and who look down with contempt on spinners and weavers. From Spain also, within a month, we have had news of a formidable rebellion planned by a whole army of Generals—O'DONNELL in Pampe luna, LEON at Madrid, NARVAEZ in the South, arid begun with a cruel and bloody attack on the Palace of an infant Queen. The outrages which these much-honoured and highly-rewarded men committed and instigated, were, it is true, all professional; but they were such as, we are happy to say, have not been conceived, much less attempted, by the suffering artisans of England. France, too, thoroughly imbued with the mili tary spirit, and neither a manufacturing nor a commercial country, has of late been conspicuous for attacks on the KING'S life, for emeutes, for un ruly conduct, and for gross outrages. Cantrast ing the proceedings in other countries with the behaviour of our own manufacturing population under their most unmerited sufferings, it shines out most favourably, and should induce every Government which wishes for peace and security to cultivate commerce and manufactures rather than encourage the military spirit and reward military virtues. In theory it has long been known that commerce and manu factures are as favourable to the internal tran quillity of nations as they are to preserving peace between them and this practical illustration of the theory will, we hope, incline our aristocratic rulers, ere it be yet too late, to remove those re strictions on commerce and manufactures which are now imposed on them from the grossest igno rance or the most stupid selfishness. We will, in conclusion, direct public attention to a communication which appears in another part of The Sun, from the Rev. H. PRICE, which only does justice to the surpassing utility of the classes which the Corn-law Tories are determined to starve out of existence, and comes appropriately to confirm some of our remarks. On this day week we adverted to the Exche quer bills forgery, and to the destruction of the Arsenal in the Tower, as adding to the difficul ties which Sir ROBERT PEEL will have to en counter when he meets the Parliament. His postponement of business has not revived com merce nor improved the finances, but it has given him more to provide for with diminished means. Yesterday the Times, borrowing ap parently our suggestion, grounds on the fact that Sir ROBERT PEEL will have more to provide for in consequence of the forgery and the burning, a defence of Sir ROBERT PEEL for not having legislated during the present year. He could not then know of these two disasters, and therefore, argues the Times, it was wise in him not to make ally financial arrangements till the next session. Our Contemporary also refers to the recent ac quittal of Mr.l7_'LEon as promoting a settlement of the dispute with America, and therefore justifying Sir ROBERT'S delay. In another Ministerial raper, however, of yesterday, we are threat ened with another outbreak in Canada ; and the Herald recommended the Ministry to keep a large army on foot in the Canadas, to be pre pared for the insurrection. While the acquittal of M‘LEon, therefore, on the one hand, is to encourage Sir RonEnr PEEL to act, the appre hended rebellion in the Canadas, on the other, to keep him on the watch, and pre e.it him from going Ibrward. If he could n of take his measures in August because he did a (0 juiow how the trial would terminate, he may NEW WORK ON THE EAST.

The Morning Post will find another proof in an article which we insert from the Leeds Times, that the sentiments which it desired, of course from an upright love of truth and free discus sion, to have visited with punishment, are neces sarily becoming prevalent in the manufac turing districts. It is impossible that men should suffer poverty, starvation, and death from a Legislature, without inquiring into its right to inflict them, and without coming to the conclusion that its authority, so long as it is thus exercised, ought to be spurned. The meanest thing alive resists annihilation to the utmost of its power, and shall " man, high-minded man," suffer himself to be trampled out of existence on the plea that for him to submit to starvation now may perchance benefit the posterity of those who doom him to a painful and lingering , death? We have repeatedly informed the aris tocracy, and informed the clergy, that by their perseverance in maintaining a hideously unjust law for their own selfish purposes, they are ex posing to extreme peril the whole fabric of politi cal society. No philosophical inquirer, whose writings we are acquainted with—no searcher after the truth of political systems—has come to the conclusion that the present form of our Government is in dispensible to the human welfare. Society, which has grown, increased, and flourished, un der every fbrwi of Government, is, in all its mul tiplied and essential relations, independent of political contrivances. They have been fastened on it, in many cases, from vile ambition, and front no view to promote the public good. Ac cordingly patient investigation, in modern times, has led, in general, to conclusions unfavourable to most of our present institutions. The whole stream of modern political science and political experience runs against them. None of them have is stood the test of iavestigajAM., and are theoretically approved of. When such the tendency of opinion, it is a fatal course in our aristocracy to hazard the violent disruption o f an old and no b y pers :sting in a great longer honfonred system, wrong. Political contrivances of a 'll kinds have l'acießtl away, and it is no disparage ment to the English ,Constitution to suppose that it will pass away too. It has already undergone n.'ost ex tensive changes without nitwit violence, but im mense and almost unheard of mischief will ens ne if injnstice be persevered in, so that the people . shall have oo alternative but ruin 9r revolution. the icle Is have ° have to . state that ing held at M ancheSter on this day week, a m Counnittee was app o i nte d to organ i se t h e i. neans t i e cl:l a .el f the ro e thet - of carrying into execution this resolution : That with a view to its being shown, peaceably ta - orderly, that there is little hope of a repeal of the Corn and Provision-lams unless the people show their deter mination not to endure them, and on the orinciple that taxation without representation is unconstitutional and unjust, it is the opinion Of this meeting that the plan of the National Daily Bread Society should be put into active operation in Manchester forthwith, so that by the time of the deputations (of working rhea.) ti,ssembling, t.,, 4 4,„ . - , k 0.1..:1r ••• - = c_...

So with the Exchequer bill forgery and the burning of the Tower; if those events, whichwere wholly unforeseen in September, now justify his putting off financial and commercial reform till February, it will be thus quite impossible to tell what similar events may happen before the end of the year, and the Right Hon. Baronet will find his whole scheme of legislation paralysed by his ignorance. The justification which the Times attempts of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S mischievous conduct in post poning the relief of the people for nine months will be found on examination, a complete justifi cation for never legislating at all. At no time can a Prime Minister tell that a Tower will not be burned, or a number of Exchequer bills not be forged, before the end of the financial session for which he provides; and, on the principles of the Times, he ought never to provide fbr a ses sion of which he cannot foresee all the demands it will make. After all, the Right Hon. Baronet is going to do something; he has appointed two Commis sions to inquire into the practices in equity, and the means of levying the taxes at a less cost. He means, if his Commissioners can be brought to recommend it, to consolidate the Excise and Customs—a plan which the Whigs entertained, and made arrangements with a view of ultimately carrying it into effect several months ago. The Times is careful to inform us that these are none of the popular reforms which the people clamour for and the Whigs would grant. It is quite right; the Tories will never give the people what they wish. They will throw out a little bit of mock reform, a humbug consolida tion of offices, a new digest of equity pleadings, or some such matter, as a tub to the whale ; but the public are no longer to be deceived by mockeries of this sort, and the result of such a long delay, ending in such trifling improve ments, will only bring the strong Government of the Tories into contempt. The municipal elections throughout the United Kingdom will show the Tories that the reaction of which they have so long boasted is all on the wrong side. With the exception of the imtna culate town of Liverpool, almost every borough of any note has elected a majority of Liberal Councillors. Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Stockport, Derby, Hull, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Gateshead, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, Cork, and a great number of other populous places, have testified that they have no faith in the PEEL Cabinet, that they are not fairly represented, and that, whatever the Cabinet and the Parlia ment may do, they are resolved to manage their own affairs on liberal and rational principles. The vast population of many of these towns is calculated to make an impression even on the Duke of BUCKINGHAM. Three of them together contain nearly a million of souls, and most of them can boast of the intelligence, in dustry, and public spirit of their inhabitants. The opinions of such men are not to be despised with impunity. The French political writers are the queerest people in the world. There is no pleasing them. If the Government happen to forget that there is such a thing as law or a constitution in France —a rather common occurrence by the way —an outcry is raised by the Opposition Press; the revolution of July and the shades of the martyrs of the glorious days are invoked to witness the transgression, and an ap peal is at once made to the patriotism of the people. On the other hand if the Government is the first to set an example of obedience to the law, as in the case of allowing 2,000 men to return to their homes, whose legal period of naval ser vice has expired, nothing is heard but shouts and yells of fury on the part of the Opposi tion Press. These Journals do not conde scend to examine the claims of the seamen to their discharge ; and the fact of their being re placed by young conscripts, only provokes a contemptuous sneer. They have not sense enough to perceive that by this system France, in time of peace, makes the best provision for war, by increasing instead of diminishing the number of her seamen. Should a war break out in Europe, the men who are discharged now would be among the first to respond to the call of their country, upon the destruction of those who are to replace them. But this plain truth is too obvious for the far-seeing sages who assume the guidance of pub lic opinion in France. Were it otherwise, we should not meet with such a ridiculous rhapsody as the following in the National—a fair specimen, by the way, of the outrageous balderdash, upon this subject, which fills the columns of the Republican press of France : " The disarmament is ordained; it has commenced. That fine fleet, our only glory besides Africa for the last ten years, and which for three years made England tremble, is dissolved, mutilated. And who protests against it? A few isolated voices; and scarcely do they excite in the inert mass a feeble echo which will soon be silent. There is no longer any response in that France once so susceptible, amongst that people who, although they may have submitted to ty ranny under a veil of glory, never before submitted to dishonour. How weak, how enervated, how cowardly resigned we are become ! The Ministry is without doubt culpable, but are we nat the first the greatest cri minals ? What would the great men who lead us be if we were not so little ? How profoundly astonished Europe, which has felt the foot of our ancestors on its neck, must be at the apparent final quietude into which we are sunk ! We have been frequently told, that in 1814, the armies of foreign powers entered with a sort of timidity on our soil. Ac customed to see us in their own lands, they could hardly persuade themselves of the change of charac ters which had taken place. At every moment they expected to see this nation, so frequently victorious, rise, and with a single effrirt crush them. Even in the intoxication of triumph they seemed to be under the ef fect of a feeling of repentance for some great act of rash ness. In 1815 on the contrary, they entered boldly ; they then trod upon. a conquered land, and their inso lence knew no bounds, and just such has bean their conduct for the last year. When the treaty of July 15 was signed all Europe was affected, and there was every where a silence full of respect. As in 1814 even they who were in league against us, and who were invading our in fluence, preparatory to an opportunity for invading our ter ritory, were not free from a feeling of great anxiety. They have gone too far, said reflecting men ; they have too deeply offended a country so susceptible on points of honour. Indeed, there was a moment when France ap peared to warrant this feeling, but it was only a moment. The Government disappointed the nation, and the nation was false to itself. Europe then saw that we were conscious of our weakness and defeat, and became bold. This was a second 1815. Fear dis appeared from the minds of the other Governments of Europe in proportion as it increased here, and when fear had ceased with them so did respect. Thou came concessions on the part of France. The miserable, coward,lz , note of the Bth October, which will be the eternal opprobrium of the Minister who signed it % was the signal of the debacle. All that was now thought of was to return at any price into the family compact of Europe, and the scandalous participation of France, in all the shame which had for a year been ac cumulating upon her head, was at length crowned by the despicable convention of the 12th July, to which even Louis XV. would not have affixed his signature." The National proceeds in a similar strain of excite ment, and then adds :—" Have we now done all that was expected from us. We may suppose we have, for what more could be required ? What had we in honour or power that we have not given up ? Our old influence ? We have renounced it. Our renown ? We have destroyed it. Our army ? We have not 200,000 men that we could draw out in line of battle. Our fleet ? It is dislocated, dispersed, destroyed. It is now only a vain show, or half-effaced reminiscence?' The most important political news in the French Journals are the decrees of ESPARTERO for abolishing the fueros of the Basques, and suppressing the political Juntas formed to coun teract the late revolutionary attempt. These do cuments will be found in another column.. A Paris correspondent wrote on ti % Ast instant to the Gazette de Flandres et Artois—" 1044, Philippe was yes terday made acquainted with klo , conspiracy at Brussels. He immediately sent for M. le Hon, who, although Leo pold's Ambassador at Paris, knew not a word of tlaks , news. Louis Philippe was much moved by the cirettm stances of the abortive plot. As soon as M. le Hon had retired, the French Ministers who had been summoned, arrived. A Council wag held, and took into considera tion the measures to be taken in case the conspiracy conceived to be extinguished should break out again. Marshal Soult is said to have offered an opinion that several regiments should be sent in all haste to the fron tier, in order to awe the conspirators ; but M. Guizot, on the contrary, thought that there was no urgency. I lis said that Louis Philippe participated in this advice, and that he wrote to Leopold with the result of the Council, recommending him to act with rigour against the Revo lutionists, and promising that in case of emergency he would march troops upon Brussels." SECOND EDITION SUN OFFICE, Eleven o' Clock. BIRTH OF A PRINCE OF WALES AND DUKE OF CORNWALL. At an early hour this morning her MAJESTY was taken suddenly ill, and it was therefore con sidered advisable to send summonses to the Ca binet Ministers and other Great Officers of State. Sir ROBERT PEEL arrived at the Palace as early as 8 o'clock. The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY and the Bishop of LONDON arrived about ten. The Duke of WEL- LINGTON, the Earl of ABERDEEN, and other Ministers arrived about half-past ten. At twenty minutes to eleven her MAJESTY was safely delivered of a Prince and Heir to the Throne. We understand that her MAJESTY is going on extremely well. Information of this important and interesting event was immediately forwarded to the LORD MAYOR and to the various official Departments. (FROII OUR COURT NEWSMAN.) BUCKINGHAM PALACE, Nov. 9, 1841. This day, at ten minutes to eleven o'clock, the Queen was safely delivered of a Prince. There were present on the occasion, as at the birth of the Princess Royal, in her Majesty's room, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Dr. Locock, and Mrs. Lilley, the monthly nurse. In the adjoining apartments, besides the other medi cal attendants (Sir James Clark, Dr. Ferguson, and Mr. Blagden), were her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Lady in Waiting, on the Queen, and the following Officers of State and Lords of the Privy Council, the Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, the Duke of Wellington, the Lord Chancellor, the Bishop of London, Sir Robert Peel, Earl of Aberdeen, Duke of Buckingham, Sir James Graham, and the Marquis of Exeter (Groom of the Stole to his Royal Highness Prince Albert) On the arrival of the " illustrioug stranger" the following historical account of the " state and service" which await his Royal Highness will be acceptable to our readers : The Prince of Wales is the eldest son of Eng land. He is born Duke of Cornwall ; and im mediately entitled to all the rights, revenues, &c., belonging thereto, as being deemed in law at full age on his birth-day. His re venues, as Duke of Cornwall, have been com puted at 14,0001. per annum. The revenues of the principality were estimated, three hundred and fifty years ago, at 4,6801. per annum. This re venue is considerable now compared with what appertained to it at the time of its first institu tion, for in the time of King Edward M. the total revenue of the principality, with the Duchy of Cornwall and the Earldom of Chester, was 9,982/. 12s. 71d. " Prince of Wales" and " Earl of Chester" are titles which are bestowed upon the King's son in after years, being thus widely unlike the title of " Duke of Cornwall," with which he is born. On his creation as Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester, the investiture is performed by imposition of a cap of state, and a coronet, a verge of gold, and a ring. He holds the Princi pality by patent granted him and his heirs by the Kings of England. Till the time of the creation 'of this title, the eldest son of England was called Lord Prince. While Normandy remained to the King of England, the eldest son was always styled Duke of Normandy ; since the Union his title is Magna .Britannia Princeps. One great reason for the creation of Princes of Wales appears to have been, because the Princes, getting experience by governing their own estates, as well in time of war as in peace, might be the fitter to govern the greater king dom upon the decease of their fathers. This is very evident from the answer King Henry 111. gave to Prince Edward, his son, when he be sought his father's help and assistance agains t Llewellyn the last Welsh Prince. The King made answer—" Quid ad me ? Terra tua est ex dono meo, excita vires primitivas, fama excita juveniles, ut de ccetero timeant iniinici !" From what source the title of Prince of Wales was first transferred to the sons and heirs appa rent of England is well known, but when it be gan in them not so clearly. The Princes of Wales—of North Wales especially—being in the earlier times Welshmen, held the country under the Kings of England, and their usual title under this seignorage, was Princeps Wallice and Dominus Snowdonia. Others place the beginning of this title in Edward, son and heir to Edward 1., from the commonly accredited story of the King's sending for Queen Eleanor, who was then with child, to be delivered at Carnarvon Castle. After she was delivered, he summoned around him the re fractory chiefs of Wales, and asked them if he brought them a Prince who was most free from all kind of blemish upon his honour, and could not speak one word of English, whether they would accept him as Prince. Their answer was in the affirmative. The baby Prince was pro duced, and manhood gave him the spurs, plumes, and arms of a veritable Prince of Wales. The words of the original Charter referring to the creation, investiture by symbol, and the territo ries appurtenant to the title, runs : " De consilio et concensu Prtelatorum, Corni turn, Baronum, et Communitatum Regni nostri Anglin, in generali Parliamento nostro apud Westmonasterium convocato ipsum Edwardum Principem Walliae fecimus et creavimus et dic tum Principatum sibi dedimus et concessitnus et per cartam nostram confirmavirnus ac ipsum de ditto Principatu, per Sertum in capite, et annu lum in digito aureum, ac Virgam argenteam in vestivimus juxta morem, habendum et tenendum de nobis sibi et hwredibus suis Regibus Anglice in perpetuum, cum omnibus Domiuiis et terris nostris Northwallice, Westwalliw, Southwallhe, ac Dominio Castro, Villa et Comitatu de Caer. narvan," &c. &C. &c. The arms of the Prince of Wales are the Royal arms, with the addition of a crest of ostrich feathers, and the motto " Ich dien" (I serv e), said to have been adopted by the Black Prince, from a Prince of Bohemia, whom ha slew at Cressy. But all hands are not agreed upon this account, and a very considerable party in the antiquarian world say that the motto arose upon Edward the First's presenting his infant son to the Welsh, as related above, who have agreed to accept a native Prince from him, with the words " Eict dyn" (This is your man). The Prince of Wales is reputed in law the 1i If is . • same person with the King; to Imaginer death, or to violate his wife, and also the' Prin cess Royal, or eldest daughter of the King' 19 high treason by stat. c);:i Edw. 111., as much it s to conspire the death of the King, or iiolate.the chastity of the Queen ; the reason of which that the Prince of Wales is next in sl i c e es? iou to the Crown, and to violate his wife,m ight_ taiut , the blood royal with ba s t a rdy.
