LONDON : if( XD AtOItNING. NOVI:AIBER 2S, 1842. Whatever may may be the case with the landlords, ty tenants seem to be corning to their senses. At a recent meeting of the Coggeshall .terrieul- Aural s oc i e ty, Mr. FISHER HOBBE S 6aid lie agreed with Mr. Hanbury that the times were hiding dark against them. When they heard in frriotis quarters that the Premier was sa7ing no Minister could stand without giving up the Corn laws—when they heard in other directions that there were eight persons going over to America, sent out by the great house of Baring, to show them how to cure their pork to advantage for the English market — when they heard that something must be done in the spring of the year, it led him to think the saying of that great patron of agriculture whose health they had drunk was coming to pass, and that having got the end of the wedge in they would drive it home. In travelling through the country he did not see a parish which might not be increased a coomb . per acre, and that would more than find food for the increased population for years to come.—(Cheers.) Bat when they looked to the waste lands, and the miserable way in which their grass lands were managed, he felt that they might break up one-fourth of th at grass land, and the remainder, if well managed, would be sufficient to find beef and mutton for the country. — (Hear.) Much had been said about drainage and long leases, but let the British farmers do what they could, they must have some protecgon. What they wanted was confidence.—(Hear.) It could not be expected that if they had not confidence men would lay out one-fourth of the fee-simple of the land, which they must do to well cultivate it before they could produce a crop of corn to feed the population of the country. That being the case—the population depending on the land for the support of the poor and for tithes—he thought there ought to be some settlement of this unfortunate question, in order that they might be en abled to go on farming with success. He feared, if they went on in this unsettled state, they would feel the effects of it for many years to come ; for where was the man that with justice to his family could go on and make the improvements that he did four years ago ?—(Hear, hear.) They saw where a man had the opportunity he was " whipping the land," and it must be so, for the landlords were afraid to give leases, and the tenants were afraid to take them; and therefore there was nothing bnt depression and misery in agri culture. That is most important, testimony, It shows that under the protective system, which has in flicted such injury on every other interest, the lend is but half cultivated. It proves that the cultivation cannot be, and will not be much ini proved, till the Corn-law question be settled ; and it tells the public an 'alarming tale of coining depression and misery!; of 'landlords being afraid to give leases, and tenants afraid to take them, without which, the most intelligent agriculturists say, there can be no improvement.in agriculture, unless confidence be restored. That brings the question to a narrow issue. Can the,Legislature, by any law, by any means in its power, restore or give that confidence except by totally abolish ing the Corn-laws Before answering that ques tion, let us lay before the public some more testi mony to the same effect. Mr. HOBBES spoke in Essex ; at a meeting of , the Anti-Corn-law League in Manchester, on Thursday, Mr. PRENTICE made this report of Cheshire : When the farmers were once fairly led to consider the qiiestion, they said, " No moderate fixed duty for us ; we have been humbugged long enough ; we have been promised moderate slides and jumps, and every change has only made us worse. Do not let us have any more of this moderation. If there is to - be a change, let us have it at once. Let us have total repeal—(Hear, hear)—that we may make fresh bar gains with our landlords, and start with a fair chance of success." The energy of the League was doing much to convince them of the necessity of re peal, even where their lecturers did not go. Landlords and tenants were both getting tired of this eternal agitation, and they said, " These Manchester people are so determined, that they will never stop short till they get the whole ( - )f the Corn-laws swept away.—(Applause.) The League has made things a great deal worse for us with this constant agitation ; we are tired of it, and cannot do with it any longer • and as these men will have total repeal, let them h ave that, and have done with them." Then these men were astonished at the idea of 50,200/. being raised in a few weeks ; and when it was exprained that our tracts were bound up in every missionary and other magazine, Whig, Tory, and Ra dical ; that one at least would be sent to every free holder and elector in the kingdom ; how the lecturers were going into all the agricultural districts, and how the country was to be agitated with tenfold energy of purpose,—they said, "We cannot stand it ; let us have done with it hear.) So much for the Cheshire farmers. Here is a report of what a farmer, in the south: of Sorrier setshire, said— Why, gentlemen, it be no rarer gone than a fort night, since the proprietor of a large estate down our way sent for me to come to him. Well, I went. He know'd I farmed a good bit of land ; he know'd I had money to lay out; he know'd I had laid out money on my land ; he know'd I grew. the best corn, and turnips, and worzel in the county ; he know'd I was reckoned an improver of land. Gentlemen, I am one that tries to make the most of my land. This landlord know'd it. He said. "Now tell me what you will give for such a farm, if I give you a lease, with liberty to improve it as you like ?" Says I, " Sir, I am much obliged ; but tell me first what the prices of my corn and cattle will be when I have improved your farm, and I will tell you the rent I can Tay." To this the gentleman replied that the questionof prices was now in a manner settled ; the' Corn-law was settled; the tariff was settled; and prfeeS would soon be settled: • " Corn-law settled ! tariff settled I prices, settled!" says I. " Why, the whole three are unsettled ;. we have had nothing but unsettled prices since we had a Corn-law, and I. sup pose never will have. You won't let the Corn-law alone, and you can't let it alone ; and it won't settle prices if it were let alone. No, no, Sir," says I; "no taking of bases with matters as they are now." So to this the gentleman replied, " Well, but it is your opinion that land ca n not be properly farmed without a lease, is it not ?" " Oh, yes, Sir," says I, " that be • my opinion, sure enough, and my experience too ; but land must be badly farmed, or go without farming, afore I touch it on a lease in such times as they we nod. live in." That I did, gentlemen. I tOld,this landlord my mind; I ben't :geared to speak to nobody; I pay my rent and my taxes, and my debts, and care for nobody. So as I said already, cheapness is a relative term. Things don't be too cheap for them as buy, tnayhap ; but they be too cheap for me." There is not only panic, therefore, there is dire confusion, amongst both tenants and landlords ; the latter cannot let, and the former will not hire, their land for any length of time. No man will take a lease till he can tell what the price of corn will be; and no man can tell that, because no man believes that Sir ROBERT PE L's settle ment of the question will last a year, or, if it do last, that prices will not fall lower than ever they were before. The single question now is, put ting humanity, justice, right and wrong, starv ing or feeding the people, out of view—the single ps question urtend alan end of r to A l landlords sand m expediencynt i.cafrori i ie s , Can the Legislature Anti-Corn-law tha awa t gi a ta n t y l Lin a% a v r i ld t as ucan make will last five years? We are sure that it cannot. Omnipotent as it foolishly boasts itself to be, and as people still more foolishly believe it to be, it can only put an end to Anti-Corn-law agitation, and give. confidence and security 'to both farmers and tenantsi.by totally abolishin g the law. . . The sliding scale is universall3 T conileinn e d. Can the Whig nostrum of a fixed duty, however moderate, be substituted for that? It cannot. The Parliament may enact it—the Parliament cannot maintain it; that is beyond the power of Parliament. Sir ROBERT PEEL himself has declared that the first dearth would extinguish it. But at present our ma nufacturers are everywhere exposed to a keen competition, which they cannot sustain, under a heavy load of State taxes and a tax for the 'landlords. It is impossible, there tbre, for them to cease agitation against a fixed duty. In every season of distress it would be renewed. The farmers would be perpetually harrassed by doubts and uncertainty, and a fixed duty can ho more be maintained than the sliding scale. To the farmers themselves such a duty would be a great injury. It would enhance all the ex penses of cultivation. They are now too, and would be still more then, exposed to competition. If the community had food enough with foreign supplies in a bad season, in an abundant season it would have a great deal to spare. The farmers would want to export ; they would be unable, and they would suffer deep distress. En a short time they would clamour for the repeal of a . duty which kept their produce from corn petitirr, in the foreign markets with the produce of other countries. I 1. We take itfor granted that the public will never consent to A bounty to compensate a fixed duty, though that i;as been recommended by 'one of the most celebr.zted political economists of the day as its indispensable accompaniment. But if neither sliding scale nor fixed duty can settle this important question, p u t an en d to ag i tat i on , and allow both farmers and. landlords to make their bargains by those permanent relations of cost, of supply and demand, which determine prices with the regularity of a law of nature, what remains but the total abolition of the un just law? The sooner that be effected, the sooner will landlords be able permanently to let their lands ; the sooner will leases be taken, and the I sooner will those improvements be made, which, on the testimony of Farmer HOBBES are neces sary, and can be made. By the abolition of the Corn-laws, which cannot much longer be averted, we shall gain a great deal' more than free trade— we shall gain a full and complete knowledge that the power of the law-maker is much more li mited than the public supposes, and we shall thereafter endeavour to ascertain what he can accomplish before we tolerate his perpetual med dling , with things he does not comprehend. The Convocation of the Scotch clergy broke up on Thursday, after continuing their sittings, with closed doors, for seven days. As far as can be ascertained, the meeting resolved to adhere to the principle of Non-Intrusion t to transmit a memorial to the Govern ment to change the law in accordance with their views, and in the event of this request not being com plied with, to withdraw and break off their connec tion with the State. The total number of clergymen present was 470, and of these not more than 250 were established ministers, being about one-fourth of the Church. At the conclusion of this affair Dr. Chalmers, Dr. MParlane, and the Moderator, had ab sented themselves. We regret to learn, by the Dutch papers received last night, that a fire broke out in Batavia on the 23d of August, which destroyed property to the value of 2,500,000 florins—about 200,0001.

CONSTANTINOPL - E, Nov. 7.—intelligence, through. indirect channels i has ,been received here of very se 'rious disturbances in.Lehanon. It is stated that the Druses and Alaronites, having joined ,their forces, en countered the Albanian mercenaries of the Porte at Beshare, not far from Tripoli, slid after a sanguinary conflict, put them completely to AO. route. Accord ing to some accounts, upwards of 600 Arnatits fell a sacrifice to the just vengeance of the moud'Aineers, whose patience they had exhausted by every sp . C.ies of outrage and brutality. The affair is said to have originated in a premature attempt on the part of the Turkish authorities to disarm the Maronites. In the intoxication of victory, the latter, it is added,, were 'guilty_ of some excesses, and plundered the caravan, .on . 'its way to Damascus. Nearly all the property, how ever, was subsequently restored. The ceremonies of the Beiram, chiefly owing to the unfavourable , state of the weather,„ went off very heavily this year. There was one novelty, however, which has excited general attention and remark, and that was the appearance of a few regiments, horse and foot, in a very superior state of equipment. Two regiments of lancers, in particular, had a dashing and soldierlike demeanour ; their horses were of a fine Transylvanian breed, and they rode them well. It is a pity that with such materials.for forming an army the Turks should yet have made so little progress. With the exception of these few regiments, got up for dis play, and as a pageant to amuse and delude the young Sultan, the army is certainly in a less efficient state than it was in the time of the Sultan Mahmoud ; and that, for the simple reason that less control is, exer cised by any chief mho has the advancement of the service at heart. Promotion depends more than ever on faVour and caprice, and the medical and commis sariat departments are abandoned to the grossest mid versation and abuse. Last winter at least ten thousand out of thirty-five thousand troops in garrison here perished from cold, starvation, and neglect. The following is from Bucharest, under date of the 27th of October : " The intelligence of the deposition of our Prince has produced a profound sensation here. ll,is High ness had returned, after his tour of inspection in the interior, on' the evening of the 20th. Yesterday, the 26th, being the anniversary of his accession to the throne, which he has occupied during eight years, after taking leave of M. Thischkoff, and providing himself with a passport far Vienna, he set out for the Austrian State, resigning by a formal act, couched in the most appropriate terms, the reins of authority to the hands of a proVisional Government, composed according to the prescription of the organic statute of three Caimacams, viz., the Chief Logothite of Justice (Michael Cornssko), the Chief Vornick of the Interior (Theodore Vacarssko, dit Fortuna) and the President of - the Supreme Divan (G eorge Philippesco) ; who are to direct the affairs of the country till the election of a new Prince by the Aivemble generale extraordinaire, which must be concluded in the course of two months. The Turk (Safvet Effendi), who is the bearer of the hatti-scheriff, arrived the day before yesterday at Giourgavo ' where he is to perform quaranti ne . " The Spa then- Constantine Ghika; younger brother of the Prince, who returned some months ago from his journey into Austria,..continnes still to exercise the functions of Commander-in-Chief. The town has not ceased to enjoy the most)perftct tranquillity; still an unusual degree of movement is perceptible among the great Boyars, who aspire to the Hospodaria, and who are already canvassing for votes. The number of candidates is not less than seven, without reckoning General Kisseleff, whose name has been also put for ward; viz., M. Stirbey and his brother, George Bi besco (both absent), George Philippesco, Alexa n d er Philippesco, (lit Find; )e ' Alexander Villara, Jean Cam piniano and Manuel Baliano." Ir i),- .N.

The Howe sailed for Salamis on the 9th, where it is expected she will winter. The Alecto arrived from Patras and the lonian Islands on the 12th, having suffered such damage in her engine case as to oblige her to depend upon her canvas for the last two days, and to render it very likely that she will have to be sent to England in the spring. The Polyphemus arrived from .Marseilles on the night of the 12th, bringing the overland London mail of the 4th inst. The Oriental arrived a few hours after her, and proceeded on her voyage to Alexandria on the 13th, on which morning the Medea arrived from Alexandria, bringing the Bombay mail of the 15th ult., the important news by which I forwarded you, ria Marseilles, by the Locust, which left on the after noon of the same day. The Medea returned to Alex andria on the 14th. The Polyphemus carries the in termediate mail to Gibraltar this afternoon.

She has since sailed for Southampton. LISBON, Nov. 21.—Little or no alteration has taken place lately in, the aspect of political affairs. The Royal Palace, which ought to be the abode of tranquillity and peace, is still the theatre of scenes wholly derogatory to the character of the Queen's household. The 'Counsellor`and'bosoni friend of the King, Che valier Dietz, who resides with him, is at daggers drawn with Costa Cabral, and open enmity being dis played, all is anarchy and confusion. A list has been going round to obtain the signatures of the principal officers of the army, in order to petition the Queen to dismiss the Ministry. It appears that the Cortes, which were to have opened on the Ist of December, have again been pro- rogued till January. The Ministry, formed as it is, has a radical aversion to the Parliament, and with the natural; presentiment -that its presence cannot be in ' any way grateful to it, owing to the many offences heaped upon it, is endeavouring by every stratagem to postpone the conjunction. The Government gained a victory over the com bined opposition in the Lisbon election yesterday, to .supply five vacancies for Deputies for the province of Estremadura. The Ministerial candidates elected are Baron de ChanCelleiros (M. A. de Carvalho), by 80 votes; J. Elias da Costa e Silva, by 80 ; Silvestre PinheirO Perieira, by 82; Pereira de Mello, by 80; and .

The results of the election for Deputies to fill the remaining vacancies in the provinces are not yet known ; the weather has been foggy and rainy, so that the telegraphs could not work this morning ; there is little doubt, however, , that the Government will carry the provincial elec , tions. It is anticipated, as a matter almost amounting to certainty, that the. Minister of Foreign Affairs will . be returned for both Oporto and Braga, that of Jus tice for Braga and Villa Real, and that of Marine for Villa Real and Castello Branco. For the province of Alemtejo, Cordeiro Feis, a Bank Director and the Local Judge of Portalegre, are the Government can didates, and are expected to be returned. Prince Joinville left yesterday morning for Rio de Janeiro, in the Belle Poule frigate., with the two cor vettes, under a Royal salute from the forts and ships of war, which the Belle Poule returned by a running broadside. The wind having become contrary, they are not yet out of the river, but were this morning at anchor in Paco d'Arcos bay. The Iquala corvette will return, after accompanying the Prince out of the river. The Brazilian frigate, and Portuguese cor • vette, the Don Joao 1., sailed for Rio this week ; the • brig of war, Don Pedro, has been sent to Madeira • with some succours from the Government for the re • lief of the poor who have suffered there from the in t undation.

A. proclamation issued by Lord ELLENBOROUGH at Simla, on the Ist of October, has been re ceived at the India House, which removes all doubts as to the evacuation of Affghanistan. The British forces are to retire within the Indus and the Sutlej rivers, and the AtTghans are to be left to settle their own affairs. His Lordship further announces that he will not interfere with their selection of a Sovereign, but will re cognise any Government approved by the Aff ghat's themselves, which shall appear desirous and capable of maintaining friendly re lations with neighbouring States. Though we may condemn the bad taste displayed by the Go verndr-Generalin animadverting withsuchseverity on the policy adopted by his predecessor, we cor dially approve of the resolution to evacuate that country, and support only the Chief elected the people. Indeed, there was no other ration "I course to pursue. To keep the Aff o•hans in subjection, an army of . fifty j thousand men be required to be kept up at the distance of a 4 0 .ousand miles from di . the seat of Government, and at an c'''.N:DC nture totally disproportioned to the object in v:ls'• With the Indus as the boundary of the Indian ter ritory on the west, and several military, stations on its banks for protecting trade, as Well aS checking the incursions of lawless tribes, England may secure her possessions in the East against all invaders. We have convinced the:Affghans that . ' she 'is able and willing to maintain , her' rights, and that no foreign Power, hoWeVer distant - or difficult of access, can brave her with impunity. This is one of the noble results effected by the suc cessful march upon Caubul, and will not apply to that country only, but to every chieftain' and potentate in Asia. The country, therefore, cannot be sufficiently thankful that the first orders given by Lord ELLENBOROUGH to retreat with disgrace were disobeyed by Generals POLLOCK. and SALE, that all the prisoners have been re covered, and the honour of the country and the character of our brave troops been triumphantly established. For this, there fore, the Duke of WELLINGTON deserves great praise, and his conduct forms a noble contrast to that of the weak and pusillanimous Governor- General. But is it fit that a man who could commit such a blunder should be intrust ed with authority over such a vast empire We have no security that it may not be repeated, and, by some other, new freak, thelhonour of England and [the stability of our Indian possessions be compromised. Some import ant movement evidently is in progress in the Punjaub, and may require great skill and judgment. Can any man give Lord ELLENBO• ROUGH credit for either of these qualities, or for that courage and grasp of mind requisite for any great and complicated undertaking? Accounts have been received by the Levant Mail, from Constantinople to the 7th inst.; from Beyrout to the 30th ult.; and from Smyrna to 9th inst. Syria was said to be tranquil, though, according to some accounts, an attack had been made on some Albanian troops in the Lebanon, by a body of Maronites and Druses. We believe this to be the same rumour which reached Bey rout, and which was published some days since. The Seraskier MOUSTAPHA PACHA had left on the 28th to return to Constantinople. In that city public business had been suspended for a week, as all classes had devoted their time to religious ceremonies. • Mercantile reports from the Persian frontier mention rumours of an inroad, and counter-in road, made by Turkish and Persian Khurds upon the territory of both kingdoms; but the Pacha of DIARBEKIR having refused to compromise his Government by advancing his regular troops, the affair ended, as it commenced, in a mere bor der feud. The accounts from Lisbon are favourable. The Government had carried the election of five Deputies to supply the vacancies caused by death, and at the elections in the provinces they would. be equally .successful. A brig-of-war had,been sent to Madeira, with relief to the unfortunate persons who had suffered by the late floods., Ai Committee bad been formed at Lisbon, with the Marquis of FATAL at its bead, to collect sub scriptions, to which their MAJESTIES have con tributed liberally. From Spain we have no biter intelligence than that published on Satur day, but some further details respecting the dis turbance at Barcelona will be found in extracts from the French papers. We bare received Brussels papers of Saturday, which contain the following important document relative to the increase of import duties. It was presented to the Chamber, by order of the Go vernment, on the 10th : The importation and transit of cattle of all kinds, and hor ses , w hi c h are suspected of being diseased, ar e prohibited ; and, in order that the prohibition may be more easily inforeed, the number of offices through which they may be imported is dhninished. The new project proposes to raise the duty on coffee, now Bf, to 10f. per 100 kilogrammes. The duty on eatables, such as preserved vegetables, truffles, game, poultry, &c., now charged at 2 per cent. on the value, to be raised to 2.; per cent. The duty on cast iron, and pig iron, to he raised from 2 francs 12 cell times per 100 kilogrammes, the present duty, to 4f. The exception made by the law of the 16th of June, 1839, in favour of the iron of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg, is retained. Salmon and other fresh water fish to pay 12f., instead of (31. 36c. per 100 kilogrammes. Oysters, lobsters, crawfish, and sea crabs, to pay, instead of 6f., 15f. per cwt., with the exception of the oysters and lobsters intended for the reservoirs and oyster-beds of the country, which shall continue to be admitted at the old duty of 6 per cent. The duty on tobacco is also modified. The Govern ment proposes to raise the duty on European leaf tobacco from sf. to Bf. per 100 kilogrammes. On those of Brazil, Virginia, Maryland, and North America, from 2f. 50c. to sf. On those of Porto Rico, St. Do mingo, the Havannah, Oronoko, Columbia, and the East Indies, from of. to 101. On other leaf tobacco, from 3f. to 6f. Manufactured tobacco in carrots, pow der cut, &c., to pay 35f. per kilogramme, instead of 30f.; and a duty of 15 per cent. ad valorem on cigars to be substituted for the present duty of 1001. per 100 kilogrammes. . Most: of the Paris papers are occupied with the disturbances at Barcelona. The Commerce says, notwithstanding the obscurity in which this movement is involved, it appears certain that it proceeds in a great measure from the plans announced of a change in the customs' -duties. The Journal des Debats gives a succinct account of the late events, without hazarding any opinion as to the cause of the insurrection, or the _plans: of the leaders. " Hostilities," it saYs,, which were suspended by the departure of the troops from Barcelona, appear ready to commence again. The Junta has claimed the intervention of the French and English Consuls. The Consuls proceeded at first to the fort of Montjuick, where they were informed by the Governor that they should apply directly to the Captain-General. A deputation was then ap- pointed to proceed to VAN ETA LEN'S head-quar ters, which was composed of two Consuls,. two members of the Junta, and two members of the provincial deputation. The General replied, that he would not commit any act of hostility against the town, provided no attempt was made to cut off his communications with Mon tjuich, where he dispatched 2,000 men and a quantity of provisions. It was not believed at Barcelona that the insur gents would remain inactive within the walls of the city. They spoke of raising four corps, com posed each of several battalions, to be employed in blockading Montjuich, and keeping VAN HALEN in check. In case the insurrection ex tended to the remainder of the province, the Captain-General, who has but 0,000 men under his command, would he obliged to retreat to Molina del Rey, on the road from Lerida to Saragossa. It is already announced that several towns have followed the example of parcelona. General ARISTIZABAL, who commands at Girona, having received orders from VAN HALEN to join him as quickly as possible with all his disposable troops, the city of Girona took the opportunity of his departure to rise. We find, likewise, by our letters, that the Junta of Barcelona had re ceived deputies from Mataro, Sabadell, and Reuss, the three most industrious and. commer cial towns in Catalonia." The National contains the followi4-sEnsible remarks on the folly of the attempt, and the course which the REGENT should pursue:— It is sufficient to read the last news to perceive that the victory embarrasses those who have gained it. A movement planned and prepared by a political party may produce political consequences ; Whereas, one caused by a violent local discontent, stops of its own accord when the conflict is over. Although we learn that some small towns of Catalonia have declared for the Junta, we do not see in that circumstance any symptom which can Seriously lead us to believe in a general revolution. To induce the other provinces to join, and even to interest deeply Catalonia itself, it would have been necessary to proclaim principles, to make an appeal to the sympathies of the people, to take refuge under the ancient municipal rights, so dear to the entire nation, to display a new standard, and to join 'in the work men already known 1 y their' political character, their power, and their he. fluence. 'Nothin , like all this has been effected. The Junta appears to proceeed• by chance, and is making, we are informed, the utmost efforts to unite with it influential men without distinction of opinion. . . . We persist, then, in thinking that the present Govern ment will not be shaken by these events. The per soris who have been'.desirous of overturning the Re gent-will; no doubt; have 'Merely contributed to strengthen . his power. We regret these murderous conflicts, which, in our opinion, can only produce, in the present state of political feelin g in Spain, a re action dangerous to liberty. The duty of the Re gent, if he re-establishes order, will be to be ware 'of being led away to severity or vengeance. For our own parts, we shall recommend to the sincere friends of the Spanish nation, that moderation which calms down the"feelings, and those easy concessions which strengthen' power by making it popular. , Barcelona tettar, in the same journal, the date,or 'which ie. not 'given, says All the streets were barricaded. The troops have sustained great losses. Two colonels, a lieutenant , colonel, six or seven commandants, 15 captains, and more than 100 inferior officers. The total amount of killed exceeds 500. The people have also lost great numbers. The bombardment from the fort of Mont juich has not done any great damage. The French Consul has afforded protection to his fellow-country men, and has also been serviceable to many Spaniards. The Junta has taken measures to preserve order. It grants, without hesitation, permission to all persons who do not belong to the town to leave it. The pass port is in the following terms :—" Junta of Barcelona —Suffer to pass out through St. Anthony's Gate Citizen —. The Nation and Liberty." It is the 3d battalion of National Guards that has suffered most from the fire of the troops. Zurbano, in his sheep skin jacket as usual, determined to make himself con spicuous. lie charged down the street of Fernando VII. at the head of the cavalry, but the charge was so badly executed, that he lost a great meny men, and received a brasera which nearly killed him. It is said that he has gone to Tarragona, to bring in the soldiers from that place. Under the date of the 18th, the P resse has the following from Barcelona:— The Burgos provincial regiment, with Colonel Llegat at its head, has come into the tov, n to join the insurgents. A report is current that Zurbano has caused two republicans to he shot. If this should prove to be true, General Zavala, who is in the hands of the insurgents, will undergo the same fate by way of reprisal. I open my letter to add that the guns are at this moment firing for the news which has ar rived, that Sarragossa has declared in favour •of the insurrection. The following is an extract from a letter re ceived by Messrs. GRAFroN and Co., the gas con tractors of Paris, from their agent at Barcelona, dated Nov. 18 : Everything is again tranquil here, and business is going on as if nothing particular had occurred. The Provisional Junta is actively endeavouring to profit by a success which has taken Why surprise. It ia send ing emissaries to Saragossa, Valencia, and Tarragona, in the hope of being able to create a similar movement. Should it succeed, adieu to the ancient kingdom of Arragon. Spain will lose four of her richest pro vinces. The Junta has sent to us to express its satisfaction at the manner in which the service of lighting the streets was performed during the three d a y s . The fact is, on Tuesday, and particularly Wednesday, the lamps were lighted amidst vol leys of canister-shot, nor did we cease until the balls rolled about the lamp-posts. The in habitants are hourly expecting the surrender of the celebrated fortress of Montjuich, which is situated upon a very high hill, commanding the town. On Wednesday we were honoured at the gas works with a few shells, which fortunately burst in the air. You will probably be astonished at the ease with which thelttoops were vanquished. -- Alas! for weeks theY had , boen , almost starvingoind when the conflict took phteelbeY lia& not an hour's provision in any of the barricksi and the, National Guard is com posed' of the waking classes, who are well armed . and haVe plenty 7 oPammunitiop. When the troops capi tulated they received from the town provisions and a Month's pay. During the whole of the insurrection there was no political rallying cry. It was a deadly conflict between the troops and the National Guards, without reference to party or politics. A letter from Perpignan, in the Gaze t . e de France, states that 500 men were killed at Bar celona in the conflict of the 15th ; that the movement was combined with one which broke out on the same day at Solsona and Lerida, and that, although the people at Barcelona respected private property, all persons holding offices under Government who ventured into the streets were massacred. Since writing the above, we have received the Paris papers of Saturday, from which Al fol lowing are extracts:— PERPIGNAN, Nov. 24.—The Junta of Barcelona, on the 21st instant, created some battalions of Na• tional:Tirailleurs, and has issued a proclamation to the army, inviting it to join them. Such persons as hold Government situations are to be allowed .to - : retain their places, if they recognise the authority of the Junta. Some alarm WRS excited on the 20t1h at lencia by the news of the rising of Barcelona, whisk arrived in the night time. 13AYONNE, Nov. 23.—The intelligence from Sara gossa on the morning of the 19th, announces that there was nothing new. The insurrection of Barce lona was known there. Great uneasiness was felt at Lerida, on the 18th. The _National publishes the following letter from a correspondent at Algiers, dated NoY,-15:--:-..1 The official reports have already informed '5": ( : )111 ,Jerti and in much greater detail than the subject de - 9 0 t o manded, of the result of the late expeditions; but' . : ar usual, it was necessary to compensate for t he insi To nificance of the events by the grandiloquence of t, - 111„,,a accounts.
