Some will cry, " Vote for the Blue," some " Vote for the Yellow - 1" But I say to you, I , l4Ntilf, vote fot those whom you know to be loyal, and hones', and virtuous, and well educated ; fur men whose prosperity depends upon the welfare of the Coont , y, their property consists of (finds, cotton-mills, shops and warehouses, or personal talent ! On such men you n►ay depend 3 and though they way perhaps differ iu opinion with each other, about sonic of the minor details of State affairs, yet such difference will be wholesome in its effects, and will be the best safeguard of you. comfoits and liberties. Opposition you most have. it is the breeze of political health. But trust not those who ntakeOpposition a trade or a stepping-stone. Judge of your Candidates, not by present pro fessions, but by paet actions, if they have already been in the House, and by their private character and public conduct, if yet untried in politics. Trust not the needy declaimer, and spurn the pro fuse protniser. Ask not for pledges—past conduct is the best pledge—but if any come to you who have made great promises and done nothing, scout them at ()nee, whether they profess to he Tory or Whig, or whether you yourself' are Whig or Tory. Above all things, choose men whose self interest it is to keep things as they are, with per haps a little mending, instead of fellows who live only in ti, whirlwind, and - whose only chance lies in a change. I have said, " Ask not for pledges ;I' yet there is oNe which I should wish to put to each Candi date—" Will you promise to raise no obstacle, either as Landholder or Legislator, in the way of a gradual redric•ion of farms, according to the eircuntstances of the times ; and will you pro anise not to turn away a small tenant as long as be pays yott a rent, or offers you a rent equal to . that of t he overgrown farmer or land speculator I" Ile who promises this will best consult his own interest, as welt as yours. Let us suppose that on an average every farming family consists of a husband and wife and seven children. Now, on a small farm of one hundred acres, these will all be industriously employed, besides one or two cot lagers' families.

SOLEM VIS 91C1:41E AIJIMAT ? • LON DON, ruEsi)A Y, MARCH 7, 1520. We have received this morning the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday last. In the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, the expected report front the Committee of Petitions was made by M. DUPONT de Mutat, who stated that it invludesl 442 Petitions against the new Election Projet but it did cot produce ,the interesting discus sion Which Lad been anticipated. The proposi tion of the Committee was to pass to the Order of the Day upon five of the petitions, the langusgeof Which was disrespectful, and to refer the rest to the Committee on the projet respecting Elections. M. MESTADIER moved the Order of the Day, upon the whole of the petitions, and this motion, after some observations front M. JOBIiZ, M. CASTEL 111AJA, and General LAFAYBTTB, was agreed to without a division. In the sitting of the Cham ber on Friday, 141. RIVISR6 reported trout the Committee on the projet respecting 'individual liberty. The Committee proposed numerous amendments - , having for their objects to detail the specific offences for which persons should be liable to be arrested upon a warrant, signed by three Ministers, and to introduce a variety of regulations fur the purpose of ensuring the publicity of the arrest, and the bringing the party to trial within a limited peliod. The discussion upon this report was ordered to be opened ou Monday. The fol lowing-are extracts;— NEWS FROM. SPAIN: (From the Gazette dc FEUIiCt of Friday.) " We have. trceived accounts from Madrid, of the 24th February. They state, that dispatches bad been received by the Government from Gene ral Joseph O'Donnell, dated Malaga the 20th. " From Algesiras, Riego marched .upon Veger, from whence he set out the 14th, to return to the Camp of St. Hoch, passing by the moun tains ;. he marched upon Malaga, by Estepona, where he had an engagement on the 17th with some of the Royal ttoops. The 18th, his rear guard was attacked by General O'Donnell, near Marbela. It had been announced at Madrid that this rearguard had been destroyed, but it is known that Riego entered Malaga the 18th, in the e%ening. The next day he was attacked in the subtob of Trinidad, which be defended during the whole of the day. In the night he quitted it with precipitation to porsue•his march to Grenada: General O'Don nell, after allowing his- troops some tepo.:e, put them in motion on the 20th, to snatch against Mega, all the authorities of Malaga abandoned the city on the approach of the malcontents. " In the three engagements which the Royal troops had with the Rebels, the latter sustained considerable loss, and General O'Donnell had the oppoi).unity of experiencing the' fidelity of his troops, whose bravery augured damns* success for his Expedition. A new proof has arisen out of these last affairs, that the inhabitants take no part in the Rebellion. "No courier had arrived from Malaga at Madrid. " At the Isla de Leon, every thing was in he same state ; the last news from Cadiz was up to the 19th. Several persons had been arrested in that city, but it remained faithful to the King; and the Insurgents continued to in trench themselves in clack position ; the can noniers, however, continued to keep up a de structive fire upon the works which they were endeavouring to establish. " According to accounts from Biyonne, dated be 26t ii February, it was currently reported here that Mina entered Navarre on the 24th or 25th. (From flu Journal de Paris.) " A letter from Cadiz of the 15th February, contains the following news " General Cruz was still at Chiclana with the First Division of the Royal Ar my, and bad bad no engagement. The Se cond Division had left Poet to Real to encamp a league from thence opposite the arsenal of Ca caeca. General Freyre visited the Camp every day, and a 'battery constructed in the last war had been repaired by his orders to cover it. Lieutenant-Colonel Riego, after having levied contributions to the amount of 10,000 piastres at Algesiras, marched between the lOth and II di upon Veget, from whence he appeared to wish to return by Fredina to the Isla de Leon. There Thad been no information since respecting his march. • " According to letters from Madrid, dated the 23d, General O'Donnell bad written from Malaga, the 201 h, in the morning, stating that he bad pursued Riego in his march to Veger, and had had with him several engagements, in which his ttoops gave proofs of bravery and fidelity. The Rebels were beaten ; they entered Malaga reduced to a very small number, and they precipitately quitted that city in the night of the 19th, sti,ll more reduced.

A Council was held this thy at the Home De partment, which commenced early, and continued long. It is said to have related to the course of proceedings to be adopted for the trial of the 'State Prisoners, a further clue having, we under stand, been discovered, leading to the develope ment of their ulterior object. Letters have been received this morning from Barcelona, dated the 23d ult.; "they mention, for the first time, something respecting the Insurrec tion, but not as explicit as we should wish. The horizon, they say, is very cloudy, but still hopes are entertained that commerce will not be affected, as the Army in the Revolted Districts maintain the greatest order and regularity, not the slightest excess being committed by any of the troops be longing to it. There is a long and malevolent attack upon Government in The Morning Chronicle of this day, because it has been stated, in what are styled the Ministerial Papers, that the proceedings in CATO STREET were connected with designs having the same objects in different parts of the Country. The fact is indisputable, and, The Chronicle itself cannot have the hardihood to deny it. A strong presumption of this tact appeared in the eager ness with which many persons, in several country places, pressed to the Post Offices, in manifest expecta►ion of hearing of some great impending event. The Chronicle has the folly as well as the effrontery, to style the advocates for the security of our unrivalled Constitution in Church and State, " Ministerial Radicals." This is, indeed, the height of impudence in a Paper which is thoroughly Radical, and which, by its daily •t -tempts to throw ridicule on Monarchy, its con stant abuse of Government, and its insidious in- stigations, has encouraged tl►e infamous herd of the COERETTS, the litinTs, the WOOLERS, the Cast (-mesa &c. &c. and has, we doubt not, strongly tend ed to produce that very Conspiracy which has been so providentially defeated. The incessant abuse of the k •ii g of SPAIN, and its daqy miorkepresen" '-rations of he state oXzhatto.untry,„l.l4,tsot! iiz our opinion, proceed from any peculiar hostility towards FERDINAND the Seventh, but toward s Monarchy itself, which it thus attacks under A pretended sympathy with the sufferings of the Spanish People. The Chronicle itself knows nothing of Spain, but, gratifying its own demo" cratical feeling, readily gives credit to the account* of fugitive traitors whose only chance of returning to their country must arise, as we have ofte o said, from a general insurrection, which they ara therefore straining every nerve to excite, and in which they are assisted by The Chronicle, tbs t admits without scruple, and with an utter eon- tempt of common decency, the most venomou s libels upon a King in amicable alliance with Grea t Britain. • The Chronicle styles a band of Umbels the Constitutional and the National Army. OW it will soon have the mot tification to hear, that tut s boasted Adfional Army has been put do was by 6 real patriotic and loyal Army. It is cations t o see the anti-monarchical character of The Cisrf'' nick upon every occasion, important or triflivg• for it has this day endeavoured to strengthen its opinions, by a passage quoted from a speech Mr. 13%0UGHAM, the man who congratulated bi g country on the death of its Sovereign, one of 0 ° most wise and virtuous Monarchs that ever gracs 4 a Throne ! It is fit that suck a Journal s houla be the panegyrist of Mr. BitouGtwa ; but 016 venture to hope, that there are few men in 0 6 country besides that Gentleman; who would ot 4 consider themselves as libelled by its commend ? tion.—We need only refer The Chronicle to 01/ Madrid Letter in The Times of this day, and whicj i we have copied, iu order to skew the Editor of former Paper the moderation of his f av ouri i° Spanish Patriots, his " Natiotial Army" in fs t ' gesiras, and of course what the Country in g e# ss neral might expect if they were to become masters. They seem to be exact connterparis the French Revolutionists, who practised esc r i species of spoliation, tyranny, and carnage. We yesterday stopped the Press to give, tit Second Edition, a brief but an authentic acco"" i of the latest intelligence flout Spain. The m 4 repose entire confidence in that acdoto it ' which we reprint this day fur the sake of ° tit Country Readers. We have inserted two artiel ° among our daily Extracts from the Loudon JO mils, taken from The Times of this day 4 the 611 of which tends to confirm the substance of. 01 1: Second Edition of yesterday; but we cannot feeling much surprise that the second of 111°' articles, in which the Paper seems to espreis t opinions of its Editor, should differ so tu ateris t ; from the information contained in the first. can assure the Editor that his first article O P/ prises the truth, so far as it agrees with tb eill ; formation which we yesterday stopped the r fe st t.) communicate on so interesting. a subjec t the real state of affairs in Spain. We recommend to the attention of Governs° and our forthcoming Legislators, the etteel li l l observations relating to the state of farming in 11' 6 , country, in the Letter from our valuable COff spondettt IGNOT'US, to whose loyalty, knowl e4 4 in 0 good sense, and ittfOrmation we have often bets indebted.
