The new - Minister, Don Cevallos;• convinced of the •ratal effects likely to result from the systeM of. persecution, has presented to the King an ener getic memorial, 'advising him to' put an end to the ari est hurl persecution of the Liberates, and to grant a lull atatieity to all his subjects expatriated for political . opinions of • whatever kind. it is said, that kis illajesty has very favourably .received these representations." England says' she is dissatisfied with us. Mr. Canning, continues-to reside at Lisbon, af fords food for conjecture to a small number of politicians, who continue obstinately to think that Spain has a part to play beyond her natural limits. Certain it is, that the presence of an Ambassador ({hitherto engaged in the weightiest affairs. of Eng land) at a Court without a Sovereign, and de pendent on the dispatches to be received from the Brazils, is a phenomenon calculated' to excite the curiosity of politic-taws. ` ~ '•r -- -N - BRUSSELS PAPERS. VIENNA, J. 15.—The belief is, au amicable agreement upon the grand affairs before the Con greSS continues to prevail. From all sides it is repeated; that all the parties approximate, and ti)at the conclusion is at hand. A tew days ago, a great Prince and Statesman %vas mule to say, 00 the occasion of a ball, that in three days all the great points would be settled, and in three weeks the Corgi ess at an end. All' parties. without: any exception, promise themselves that the Congress will he, over in a month. The day before yesterday some circum stances led to a •supposition that the Emperor Alexander was preparing to depart, but we hear Tiotti chat-he intends first to use the waters here. It is, however, by no means believed that he will stay till the affairs of Germany are settled, but rh,tr go assoon . as the general concerns of Europe are decided on. The ;:tEtins of G-Jrmany are indeed under djscus siorr, ()tit. till Poland, Saxony, and the left bank of the Rhine are disposed Of; they are in the back ground. • BONN, JAN. 19.—The bead-quarters of the Saxon ~orp are to be removed on the 21st from this city w Cologne. 11. mnußun,•JAs.l7.—One of the papers pub lished aThran , , that an offensive and defensive - al -lirm3e has been concluded between the Ottoman Porte and One of ttie great European Powers, .b3h!y France).

Europe. Sir S.

" The fulfilment of this'obligation which the necessity of defending my honour prescribed me, did nut ten give me any fear, because I was convinced that no criminal act could be justly imputed to me, and becaase I was too well assured of the purity of my intentions in all I have said or written`, to fear the 'consequences under a Prince whose justice I always ad-' mired. " Being now actplainted with the Members of the Court- - martial who are to judge of my conduct, hill of confidence in their justice and enlightened sentiments, I come to declare to you Count, that.

SUN-OFFICE, 11Au-rAsT ON o'Ccvox. Brussels Papers to the 27th have just arrived : they contain a curious Political Catechism, but nothing worthy to delay our publicatio►► for in:. sertion. Since . our last publication Paris Papeil to the : 27th, Dutch and German to the 21st, Vienna dates to the 16th, Madrid to the 12th, and Naples to the 7th have reached us, and form a consider -able portion of our contents this day. From their perusal it will he seen that as the denouement ap prOaches, every report tends to confirm us in the opinions we have undeviatingly enforced in the Su N. The pacific conclusion of the Congress, the settlement with. regard to Poland and Saxony, and the.asPect" of affairs on the side of Italy, are all precisely what we have anticipated. The Duke Of WELLINGTON will, !Cis believed have little more to do at. Vienna than sign the Treaty, ma tured by his distinguished predecessor, Lord CASII:kREAGH. It is a happy incident that he who3e sword brought the war . to so glOridus an issue should employ his pen in the termination of as splendid a Peace as ever gave repose to Eu rope and 'dignity to Great Britain. The affairs of Switzerland may now lie consi dered as settled. The Swiss Confederacv forms an independent State, divided into 22, Cantons. The disputes between Berne and the Pays de Vaud have been arranged by giving to the former Bienne and the Bishoprick of Basle. itlit inters have, as usual,. Written circular let ters 'to their Parliamentary Friends, requesting most earnestly and most particularly" -their at tendance upon the 9th. Some Wiseacres have fan cied from this, that the Talents will 'divide on the first night, but foolish as they are, they will not expose themselves so much as this. , If they have just sense enough to boast of their strength with out displaying it, they will do well enough, though we anticipate a most glorious mortification to them, and triumph to the Country from Lord CAS TLEREAG irS Exposition. A Morning Paper states, that Mr. CROKER is about to be removed from the Admiralty, but is not sure to what other office lie is appointed : We can solve its doubts ; the Admiralty is not going to lose the services of so vigilant and able a Secretary... The prospect of a continuance of the frost for a few clays longer, by.whieh the navigation of the Riper would'probably have been inipeded, put the Coat Speculators in high spirits, and fore►ed a preteXt. for their anvanclu L t l i tieCC5: 2 . 1*3 of life six or eigtit shillings a chaldton, al though the fact nottnions that-the wharfs and barges in the in ves' . are quite crarnined, and bun , - dreds of ships unsold. The sudden, and rapid thaw will, however, counteract their nefarious designs, and 'probably the Public, in spite of these Monopolists, will be able to procure Coals at a price something like that at which a peace freight entitles tbein to purchase. At a Meeting of Landed Proprietors of Bed fordshire, Resoluelons in favour of the PARNELL System of Corn Laws were agreed to. Mr WHITBREAD alone opposed th!:.se Resolutions, and thus at last this Political Gentleman has made up his mind upon the important topic which had no effect in gettingiii3 voice during the past Sittings of Parliament. Better late than never, however ; but we trust he will also allow Porter to. come down to a Peace-price, to prevenr the imputation that his patriotisni is not pure, seeing that; as mat ters now stand, he gains in malt what he loses. in meal. At a select Catholic Meeting in Dublin, on Monday last, it was. agreed, alter a long debate, in which the Agitators 'proposed the Duke of SUS3EX and Mr. WIPTBREAD, that Lord DO 7 NOUGHMORR altd.Mr. GRATTAN should continue to be intrusted with presenting the Catholic Pe tions to Parliament.--Anotner • Meeting was beld on Tuesday. At one o'elock Lord 1, - i'iNGALL, and two gentlemen and a boy, entered the Chapel. On being called to the Chair, lie declined, because, faith had been broken with him, on the subject of the Veto. He disapproved; the Resolutions, and retired amid a torrent of hisses ; a just reivard for his past services—a tit retribution for the import ance he has conferred on the set of disloyal per sons so ably pourtrayed in Mr. CURRAN'S Letter. O'Costiott, of Relanagar, was then unanimously called to the Chair. Resolutions for unqualified emancipation were moved, and, carried with enthusiastic acclamation.—ne following Letter was read from Lord DONOUGHXDRE " K nockl•Py, Jan; 21, 1815. " Draft Stu,---,lt appearing from the reports, in the last Dublin Papers, of some late proceedi.ho in the Catholic Conttnitt4s,' that it is to. btimade a matter of debate, at the Aggrr.gdte Meeting on Tuesday next, whether I aui again. to be entrusted with the care of their Petition, I have great sa tisinetiou in availing myself of the opportunity, which is thus afforded to me, and for which I have anxiouFq sought for a considerable time 'past—of withholding nuyseif altogether, from any share or responsibility, in the future management of their addresses to Parliament. _ " 'lcannot -submit to the degradation of becoming the Par liamentary Automaton of any Mau; or number of men, how-. ever respectable the dcnorninat ion which they may assume; nor of subjecting myself again to the other side of the alternative, and to. the necessity of _continually standing vet my defence, against misrepresentation .and calumny, where I could have no possible object, but a sincere and ardent desire to deserve well of that important class of my-fellow subject S—for whose complete admission into every Constitutional privilege, unre strieterthy any jealous reserve; unincumbered by any itegrad ing stipulation, I have never ceased to raise my feeble voice. :" As I think it questionable', from the proceedings of the late Catholic Committee, AS they hive been represented in the public prints, whether Lard FrsoAta. may consider it to he fitting' fur hint W preside at the Aggregate Meeting on' Tuesday neat, I NW:. not atitlrcssed this letter to. his Lord ship, but to yourself, with my request that you will' have the goodness to Laud it to the Chairman, whoever be may he. is public paper, before the connueuceluent Of the proceedings • of the day.

" EDWARD IIAY, Esq."‘ An Aggregate Meeting was to take place on Wednesday.the 24th, when no doubt the same Roman Catholick Resolutions which deny the spiritual supremacy of the POPE, and the tem poral supremacy of the KING ; and set up a few factions speech-making individuals above boll', will be carried nevi con. General Sir 11. CALVERT, Adjutant-General, to the British Forces, is expected at Portsmouth in the course of this week, to proceed from thence upon a special and confidential mission to Ame-.. . rica. Friday evening Mr. FISHER, the King's Mes senger, was sent 'with dispatches from .the Fo reign Office to Viscount CASTLEREAGH. The Earl and Countess of LivEßPoot. and fa mily are expected in town to-day•for the season. On Wednesday the Earl of LIVERPOOL will en tertain all the Cabinet Ministers in town to dinner. Persons recently arrived from Leghorn assert, that the finances of the, Sovereign of Porto Fer rajo arc extremely embarrassed, and that he is at this moment selling some of the 260 pieces of cannon which he found in the - isle of Elba. The report of an - intended duel hetween Co lonel's QUENTIN and PALMER, in France, .is en titled to no credit. Colonel PALMER certainly did not leave England for any I , uch purpose ; and-had' Colonel QUENTIN entertained any %visit to meet Colonel PALMER - , he- had abundant opportunity of expressing himself to that effect long beforfy the latter left town for France,"the more express ly as the parties had not been bound over to keep the peace.—(Morning Post.) Large orders have lately been given for the American market.

CIM::D OF THE PARTY AND ITS ORGAN. invectiye against the ftwics RE GEE: is not abuse. Insulting - tirades against . every Sovereign and People allied to Great Britain, is not Abtit:e. , The niost bitter abuse of Ali►►isters is not abuse. Painting the Head of - -the Govertnn►ent in the most odious colours is not scurrility. Personal invective and venemous slanders against every man who differs from them in pl)litical i 3 not abuse. Defamation of the. British. Character, and 113-• persions upon the British .Nation, (especially if authenticated by forged foreign signatures) is not abuse. Low language, vulgar navies, malignant epithcts, assumption of superiority, and vain-glorious pre tensions to treat others with contempt, are ►iax symptoms of a disposition to scurrility and abaisc. PER CONTRA. A single hint against the. oinnipoteney of the Talents is violent abuse. An insinuation that'PERDINAND MENDEZ PIKTO" was but a type of the Morniqg Chronicle, is ieuro rility. The refutation of ealuninies meant to degrade' our Native Land, and the -exposure of falsehoods invented to libel honourable individuals is scaw dalous sctirrility, and unpardonable abuse. Any doubt of the rropkrtic infallibility of tle Plirty is blasphemy—'' He. that : dohLts shall t1:--d," says Lo VETER, in the Tale of c; amid the Chronicle, which is but a Tab for Olt' Whale, says the same thing.
