SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS., The cause of Reform goes on and prospers. There are, undoubtedly, strange things said, and by strange people, en this important subject, more especially by some of them, touching the probable effects of the Bill proposed by his Majesty's Mi nisters. One, for instance, whose opinions on mili tary questions ought to be received with much &- ference, has told us that the reformed Parliament will chiefly, if itot exclusively, be returned by the shopkeepers of England. Whether his Grace of Wellington, to w born this happy prediction has been attributed, mean t to express an aristocratic slight ton ards the middle gasses of his countrymen, or a compliment to the nod taste of Buonaparte, who called us "a natio: ," of shopkeepers; or whether the gallant Duke es aisidered it a fair manoeuvre to " blow the coals"' 1 7 etween the agricultural and com mercial bodies, amt I so deprive Ministers of part of that support whit/ has been so profuse ly furnished them by the l a ne e d i nterest of the kingdom, it is not our business to pronounce. If the last men tioned was the • Noble Duke's object, sure we are that it h a s b e e n signally defeated. In no sing le county throught rut t h e U n i te d Ki ng d om has there been an oPe' n meeting held, at which the slightest ewe, sition worth mentionin g „o "as made-- no tie Fri, eciple of Reform, for that is wholly out of t .h e t ion, but—to that precise quality and measur e of ILeform which Ministers have embodied in theii, Bill Ts► the other instances of ardour and unanietity manifested by the leading counties of (Great Brit ain on behalf of Government on this or 'ssioun, we la ve now to add that of the county of -an extensive county, eminently agricultu ral, veld rated for Toryism, and so difficult to rouse to the e• tertion necessary for a public meeting, that a correspondent informs us it is forty years since the county of Sussex was before called together for any politic Al object. The unusual extent of Sussex, from • east to west, in comparison with the distance 'from the coast to its northern limit, seems to have brobv el it into two separate communities, in so mut' s that the public meeting, held on Thursday last at Lewes, was unheard of by a considerable ' number of Magistrates and country gentlemen, even up to the morning of that day. Notwithstand ing which, there was a full attendance of men a the highest distinction and first properties of county, who all (with one, not very for 'at idable, exception) concurred in a cheerful and iirited support of the entire measure of Reform - oposed by Ministers. Lord George Cavendish, sal I became so old a member of an illustrious house; Ott ask the lead in these constitutional proceedings, to ad moved, after a liberal and sensible speech, the dslress to his Majesty, which was ably seconded by asrd George Lennox, the Noble Lord treating with acorn the sophisticated nonsense of this being a '-"Aryolutionary" law, instead of one whose direct teredesacy was to save the kingdom from revolution; Wed.. -rieier that he would at tend in his place at every kri, progress through the House, arid that Iw ,e w 0, ol h o 4A ipport it in every clause," (that is the tsetse policy), ,or risk by any alteration the safety Mr. Partington, in ,f the whole 0104 i-sure pro posing a petition to Cite House of Lords, asked the shrewd and very vertireaot question, which, indeed, has nes er received a eecoaci answer within our me -I:mory from any disinterested men, " whether there -wire any abuses in our system requiring correc lion ?" We shall take the liberty to ask, in passing A second question—viz., whether those abuses are likely to be corrected by the same sort of Par diament under which they have sprung up and lion rish,edr' Lord William Lennox supported the former speaker. The only "exhibition" of the day was the unfortunate young gentleman who represents the pro prietol of Gattonas.ilr. Shelley,—a gallant specimen of a Tory stripling, we admit, and exceedingly adapted to various exercises, as well perhaps of mind as body, but monstrously misplaced among representatives of the people of England pretending to have any particle of communion with that people in political feeling or intelligence. The lad, how ever, had been trained at a public school, and stood up to be badgered wiiiiout flinching. Mr. Shelley's lamentation over the disfranchisement of the poor, not one of whom, let it be remeiabcred, is to lose tbo personal enjoyment of his vote (unissz he be a non-resident elector), and his father's (Sir John Shelley.'') advertisement to the people of Lewes, denouncing the " disfranchisement of one whole order of the State 1 ," meaning the order of righ boroughmongers, may 47 laid together in amusing, juxta-position, as a proof that the Shelley family are somewhat difficult to plea,e. s it Godfrey Webster and Mr. Kemp hunted down poor Uetton unmercifully. A petition to the House of Commons was voted after that to the Lords. The only inter ruption to the satisfactory progress of the meeting, was an attempt by a set of stupid or mischievous radicals—instigated, we presume, by some Tory incendiaries—to ingraft their otvn revolting extra vagance on the proceedings of the day; but the trick was obviated by the joint good sense of the High Sheriff and of the bulk of the assembly, and the main questions were carried in a spirit short of unanimity by the single dissent of the worthy repre sentative for Gatton.—Times. The trials at the Old Bailey always afford a prac tical satire on the state of our criminal laws. In that Court, at the close of the Sessions, the solemn ceremony of passing sentence of death on a large number of convicts takes place--sometimes as many as thirty or forty persons appear at the bar together, to receive, for crimes materially differing in malignity and magnitude, the wholesale sentence of extermi nation. This would be a very awful proceeding, if it had not necessarily become a mockery. We say necessarily, because it is the inevitable result of the progress of civilization that the laws which ore so profuse of blood should be rarely carried into effect. Enlightened opinion, controlling judicial power, saves humanity many of those disgusting spectacles of human sacrifice, for inferior crimes, which were some years ago of frequent occurrence. If the criminal laws cannot be generally or uniformly executed, why are they not made conformable with the advanced spirit of civilization ? If they were generally exe cuted, every Court of criminal justice in the realm, to which belongs the power of trying capital of fences, would be a great abattoir, or slaughterhouse, in which crowds of human victims would be periodi cally immolated by a moat compendious system of legalised butchery. At the late special commission in Hampshire no less than 101 persons were capitally con victed; but what power in the land would dare to offer up this human hetacomb to the Moloch-sp:rit of our criminal law ? It has been well observed that the prevention of crime is better attained by certainty than severity of punishment. Laws which cannot be uniformly executed are bad in principle and in effective in practice. Under such a system offenders are naturally taught to calculate on the chances of escape ; while those who are selected from the mass of capital convicts to perish on the scaffold suffer not by the defined and certain authority of the law, but are too often the pitied victims of arbitrary dis cretionwaintdh a j:d ud ic i i v al caprice. Hence Judges are bided with con u te s responsibility , As and the laws are brought into long as enaetmenta denouncing death to ra ffe ri n t e . es inferi o r to those of the most dangerous and enormous magnitude disgrace our Statute-book, pauniseuemproportion of crimes, de serving of severe punishment, not justifying the extermination of the otfereseent will eyes of con- 1 eiderate and conscientious /*nor : go altogether unpunished, from the repugnance- ~ jured p arties to put human l ife in p eril, where the sentattle,! o f the law betrays more of the character of vengeance than the spirit of just i c e. It is not an unesnximanprac tice of jurors at the p resent day, especially in this metropolis, to strain points of conscience In e imo „ r l of humanity, and to contradict the evidence by their verdicts, in their enlightened abhorrence of sanguinary punishments , A remarkable instance of this occurred at t he p resent Sessions, in the case of a youth of sixteen, who was charged with feloniously breaking into a dwelling-house arid steal ing a watch. The evidence clearly showed that the person who stole the watch must have broken into the house to obtain it. The watch was found on ' the prisoner, and he admitted before the Magistrates that he had stolen it. This offence, though unae companied by any violence, or even alarm to the in mates of the house—for they did not know that a thief had entered the house, until the next morning —is punishable with death, and the Jury not thinking it a case where life ought to be sacri ficed, returned a verdict finding the prisoner guilty —of what ? only of having the watch in his posses sion ! When told that this was no offence, and that they must re-consider their verdict, they, after some hesitation, returned a verdict "guilty of stealing," which mitigated the crime into one not capital, as they said nothing about the breaking. The Judges were not satisfied with this, and Lord Tenterden having asked " How could the prisoner have stolen the watch if he did not break in ?" the Jury at length returned a general verdict of guilty, recom mending him to mercy. Why should the spirit of the laws be thus at variance with the consciences of jurors? —Morning Herald. It cannot have e.caped observation that .the enemies of Reform have, since the first ebullition of their wrath, entirely changed their ground. At first they declared their uncompromising hostility to it, in whatever shape, or under whatever guise. The very word was water to their hydrophobia. But now the case is quite different—they have quietly passed the Rubicon—and, with the exception of the Duke of Wellington, are unanimous in admitting that some Reform is necessary and unavoidable, and their hostility is confined to the particular measure of Ministers alone. We do not, we confess, attach much value to these sudden conversions. Men who can desert their deliberate opinions so hastily are entitled but to little credit for their conversion, especially in a case like this, where there is too much reason to suppose they only change their ground by way of a feint, to alter the nature of their attack. But, supposing them to be sincere in admitting some Reform to be necessary, why do they not tell the country openly and fairly what their plan would be? They mean something or they mean nothing. We—uncharitably, perhaps—suspect that they mean nothing; but if something, why not let us know what that something would be? We should like to see the late and present Member for the Uni versity of Oxford, for instance, laying their heads together to concoct a Bill which they shall offer to Parliament in lieu -of that of Lord John Russell. If we mistake not, they must stumble grievously at the very threshold. flow would they get over the preamble ? What would they make it to declare ? That Parliamentary Reform was necessary ? or that borough nomination was necessary, and their beau ideal of constitutional perfection ? No, the people may depend upon it that the boroughnaongers have no plan but that of a determination to defend at all hazards their own usurped possessions. They may admit that some Reform is necessary, but they do not mean it. Like the image-makers for the.great goddess Diana, their only hopes and fears are di rected against those who would break in upon the profits of the craft. If this be not the case where was their conviction of the necessity of " some Re form," when instances of the mo't notorious corrup tion gave them the opportunity, as in the case of East Retford, to have transferred a rotten representation into the wholesome anti thirsty channel of Birming hate, Manchester, Sheffield, or Leeds ? To them freedom of election is as hateful, on the one hand, as revolution on the other; and if they now change their ground, and talk of the necessity of some Re form, it is only because an open hostility to all Re form is too preposterous to be endured, and because this seeming candour may, as they imagine, enable them to work covertly and more effectually against this unextinguishable object of their bitterest hatred. Let nnt, then, any part of the public—above all, let not independent, but timid or hesitating, Mem• bers of Parliament—be deceived .by this seeming state of half-conversion to which the enemies of all . Reform profess to have brought themselves. With the view of defeating the present measure they may promise 11$ great things in its stead; but the one thing needful they will Dever be brought to yield, at least of their own accord—,we mean the rotten.bo rough system, through which alone they live and move, and have their being. Without the disfran chisement of this nest of corruption any measure of Reform must be worse than useless; and to expect the prosent possessors of these fruitful sources of gain to them, and of logs to the rest of the com munity, to relinquish them, is to look for self-devo tioth in t quarter where nothing but the basest selfish ness has ever I et prevailed., --Morning Herald. In the Sitting of the Frertith Chamber of Dept], ties, of the 4th, the speech of M. Mauguin Gone tainea much that was deserving of more considers, tion thkn W s copld bestow on it yesterday. We have this day given it 14 length from the Constilu tiound. It appears to us that M. Manpin has made out a strong case for the French agaraL.t he Great Powers. He has shown clearly that France did not arm tlll these Powers compelled her, by putting their armies i.e 4 wg.r footing; and he has shown, moreover, from a variety pf circumstances, which, taken together, must arty convictioo tH orgy un prejudiced mind, that the Absolute Powers had it in co4templ4tion to attack France. " I will oot -po i " he says, " either of the bloody struggle from 1792 to 1814, FyiF the diplomatic struggle from 1814 to 1880. • I will not ape,* 0 the dop.trines of Vienna, Verona, of Laybach ; I will say nothing of the popular principles persecuted or destroyed at Turin, at Naples, Madrid. These facts are known to you. We may draw, however, from them a grave conclusion. The same men who directed tt. c e Ir4hinets of Europe are still in power ; they have the same interest?, cpd they must be subject to the law of our nature. Men do ao: rapopace the doctrias which they have entertained for forty years. However, it was pur Revolution of July was so pure, accompanied by so mutt. 41A:ration and courage, that perhaps they have opened their eyei, pppsented to see in France a Government to which they hear na4 ii9A will. Let us see whgt is passing in Europe, and if these heads of the European Cabinsts have renounced their doctrines in as far as regards us. At very moment in which the repOrt of our Revolution was spiepi thßogh Europe, the arming began siz.rywhere. It will be said this was dicta:ed by prudence. Be it so. Pat we did not cause any alarm ; no cry for war had yet been beard 4-3 this tribune. Were these armings, however, I ask; mere meas. - J.:T.; of precau tion ? Let us examine facts. In October Prussia marches; Russia negai,:igcs in Poland, and wishes to make the Poles their van-guard ;gainst France; and if you doubt the intentions which direct 4 these military movementa, I appeal to the documents discovered at I,Ye,r -saw ; I appeal to the speech delivered by the English Mi nister at the opening of the Parhament of England ; I ap peal to the speech of Lord Wellington in the House of Peers. Thus, at this early period, at the very moment when their language to us was peace, and approbation of all our movemea., their resolution was already taken, the war was imminent. The diplomatic language s indeed, afterwards changed, and we recei./e4 the most positive as surances of peace. Poland had risen.* Taking all these circumstances together, we think it clear that there was a foul conspiracy of the Sovereigns against France, We were persuaded, at the time the speech of the Bute of Wellington alluded to was made, that this Government was a party to the conspiracy; and we have not a doubt, that among the other blessings resulting from the change of Ministry, one was that the conspiracy was thereby paralysed. The frank arid manly .declara don of Earl Grey, and the cc r lial manner to whits he expressed his wish that France and England should be friends to 001 other, must have stricken terror into the camp of the ,zopsyirators. How far the Duke of Wellington's Government sv s pledg , cl to supp - st th,;^ despotic Governments, may no ncw be easily known; bat it is clear that he was with them heart and soul; and t: tit he looked to the sub jegtiots of the French for the prostration ol , his own countrymen. The heavy responsibility tbep of withdrawing the nations (torn their peaceful purl s fia u e: l i go t sso f s n , cles a se n wsa d ro f c c o thoh n n v et leetr absolutethpi e ng ecsioi u: lc o oat p ve e e . into aodw,o o fc n , th e i is; great car(' f e to from have thei r b a t e a e n n t m d a e d p er ts7nWtteirthfuthhe mdents, of their con: pledges, it i a t ss w u o ra u n ld ce h s av o e f peace, when they saw preparations for wa e c y c er l. y where around them. France, then, has been n pelted. to make warlike preparations, corresponding to those of her.neighbours. M. Sebastiani seemed to say that the King of Prussia had refused to allow a passage to the Russian army through his dominions before the Poles baffled the Russians; and if this be the case, it would go far to establish that Prussia had ceased to belong to the conspiracy. With re spect to Austria, a curious circumstance was stated by M. Mauguin, namely, that the keeping from the knowledge of M. Lafitte, Ex-President of the Council, the despatch of the Ambassador at Vienna for two days, that led to the breaking up of that Ministry. lie admitted, that though the p reset) , Ministry had been formed on the principle of avoid ing war at all hazards, it bad since seen the neces.ity of changing its opinion. M. Mauguin contends that France has no choice in the case of Austria—that war has been forced on her. The most important part of his speech, perhaps, is that in which he ex amines the question, whether an offensive or a de sensive war would be most advantageous to France ? A defensive war, he observes, may suit a p oor country, intersected by mountains ; but in the case of a rich and open country like France, a defensive war cuts up its industry, and enables the invader to turn its resources against itself. Besides, he very justly observes, the enemy would renew the tactics which led to the desolating warfare of La Vendee. The presence of an invading army would embolden the disaffected to rise. This speech of M. Mauguin may be looked on rather as a sort of justification of France to Europe, than an accusation of the Mi• nistry; for he seems satisfied that the Ministry have determined on war. Indeed it is impossible to ar rive at any other conclusion after what has taken place in Italy. War is unquestionably one of the greatest of evils ; but we fear in the present posture of affairs it is inevitable.—Morning Chronicle. SPAIN. (From the Madrid Gazette.) The King, our master, has been pleased to trans mit to me, under date of yesterday, the following Royal order : " The infamous and audacious incursions that the rebel faction has dared to consummate in various points of the kingdom, the unexpected events at Cadiz and at the Isla, and a multitude of criminal acts of simultaneous penetration in several places, have fully convinced my Royal mind of the exist ence of a club of revolutionists, who, to put into execution the plans devised in other countries by the directors and agents of secret societies, omit no means of realizing the iniquitous work thus pre pared for them. Trite it is that the results of such attempts have been such as must necessarily have been expected from the valour and decision of my troops,—from the frequently-proved loyalty of the Royalist volunteers,—and from the intimate convic tion, that when recollecting a period of odious me mory, the whole kingdom feels that its felicity and tranquillity depend on the preservation of its ancient and venerated laws, and on the throne on which God has placed me, and where the love and true fidelity of my subjects have repea'edly preserved me. hi every direction the revolutionary hordes have been beaten and destroyed. Every where loyalty has rejected . with indignation the flattering promises of perfidy; and finally, in all parts the people have manifested their disgust at the plots and artifices which have been introduced for the purpose of , seducing their love and respect from the Govern ment and religion of their ancestors. But notwith standing thee facts, by which I can deduce the ephemeral bases which sustain the calculations and machinations of the ill-affected, a wise policy dictates to me moreover the obligation of preventing crime, and has convinced my Royal mind that to obviate the seduction of incautious persons into a participa tion of its commission, the penalties hitherto esta blished by the laws and Royal orders 'against the' perpetration of such atrocious and criminal attempts are not, nor can be, sufficient to deter them, if ante rior to their application, the forms and solemnities adapted to tranquil times are to be observed. With this view, and considering the measures which, under parallel circumstances, I judged it expedient to decree a Royal order on the 13th of January, 1824, I have in compliance with the opinion of my Council of Ministers been pleased to resolve, among other things, the following:— " Art. I. From this time forward a permanent and executive military commission shall be esta blished in Madrid. _ . fc Art. 2. Similar commissions shall be esta blished in the capitals of the provinces, where their respective Captains-General shall judge them op portune, " Art. $. These Commissions shall be composed of a President of the rank of Mariscal de Campo, or Brigadier, of an. Assessor, who in Madrid shall be an Alcalde de Casa y Corte, at the selection of thp Cpptain-General of New Castile, and in the Kovinces, thp Minister of the Chanaillerist or Au. diencia, to be nominated by the President of the Commission, and of six stiffragans of the rank of Brigadier , , Colonels, or Lieutenant-Colonels, to be proposed immediately by the Captain General of this province s and the others when they shall sub mit to me, for my Sovereign approbation, the nes cessity or propriety of organizing the Commissions in the provinces under their respective commands. " Art. 4. To each of these Commissions there shall be 44010 the number of fiscals and secre tar4.s, as the ainount of pro ! : - .esseq may induce the President to deem requisite : he shalt 'propose them to the Captain-General for his nomination, and they are to be of the rank of Captain. " Art. 5. All persons shall be subjected to the jur;sdiction of these military Commissions, who, from the date of their respective installations, do commit the crimes provided for in the Acticles 4,5, 6,7, 8, and 9, of my Sovereign decree of the Ist of October last; it being the duty of the Sup,erir)tendent-General of the Police to remit to the Captains-Genesal (whve they may be organized) the lists mentioned'in Art. 6, of thg said decree, for the application to the culprits of the punishment there expressed, with such others as they may de serve fur former act; but the criminals referred to in the Istaitiele of the said decree, shall be pu nished in the [mode and to the extent there ex pressi,d,. " Art. 6.

" Art. 7 to 14 relate to the forms of process. " Art. 15. The punishment of death, when con firmed, xhali be carried into effect by the public ex ! ecutioner, should he he at hand; if not, by the troops according to subsequent arrt,ingemarits. " Art. 16. All persons who may be charged with the cr;roe, - ; within the cognizance of the military corn : missions as expiersed, become deprived of their privileges, whatever may be t4ir Faals, state, and condition, without any exception ; for this oh:. ject, I set aside all orders, laws, and royal patents, 'whiz!) apt in opposition to it. Should the culprit be an ecclesiasti c , it is my will, that although the commission sh a ll institute his process, it shall be conducted according to my Royal decree of the 1:11 . cf S f eptember, 1815, which remains in force. "'Art. 17. States that the commissions are not to adjudicate beyond the primes expressed in articles 5 and 6, with the circumstance of their being com . 'flitted after the organizatiOn. Art. 18.

(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) " MADRID, MAnctt 24.—From 200 to 300 per sons have already been arrested in Madrid ; among whom, I am just informed, but hays not time to as certain the fact before the courier leaves, are the Dukes de Frias, and de San Lorenzo, the Marquis de Santiago, Beringas, Regato, besides many other persons of distinction and note. The Government have, I understand, at last succeeded in discovering a plot which has been a long time in progression, in which these persons are implicated, and which had connexion with the Cadiz affair. I expect much will come to light in the course of a few days, as it is whispered that their " cipher," &c. is likewise in possession of the Government. Arbitrary as I ex pect this decree will be considered by you, I assure you it is far from giving satisfaction to the Ab solutists. They complain that its operation cannot effect the extermination of the Li berals, against whom they wish to insti tute a " terror," by an indiscriminate massacre of them all. Fortunately, this faction are at daggers drawn with the garrison of Madrid, whose jealousy is excited by their arrogating to themselves a right to the defence of the King's person. The Royalist volunteers, the elite of the faction, amount here to about 3,000 men, and as they are permitted to keep their arms at home, would, I am morally certain, ere this have carried their wishes into execution, but for fear of the Royal Guard, whose numbers reach about 10,000 men. We have heard nothing yet of how affairs are proceeding in Andalusia, but I ob serve that the authorities of Cadiz have given the troops at that place 44,000 rials, which of course is a very useful counter-bribery. To-day's Gacelci has a decree which includes " robbery" among the crimes to be adjudged by the military commissions. This may be a useful check on the Apostolicals, who have taken opportunity of late, on many occa sions, to rob, under the cloak of wreaking their po- . litical vengeance. This decree is likewise useful, as it meets all the circumstances of an intention to rob ; and many assassinations have occurred la.ely in the s•reets late at night, and the victims are, ge nerally, suspected Liberals. In reading over with attention the decree of the military commissions, I do not think that foreigners are inclujled in its pro visions, but many people consider that by article 16 they are." (From the Madrid Gazelle of the 26th of March.) TO THE CAPTAIN GENERAL OF THE PROVINCE. " SlR,—The King, our Lord, having consented to this proposition among others which the Council of Ministers have submitted to his Majesty, he has been pleased to determine, that in each of the quarters into which this capital is divided there shall be ap pointed a military commandant of the rank of field officer, an Adjutant of the rank of subaltern, who having under their orders a serjeant and twenty Royalist volunteers of the battalion of this capital, shall maintain the tranquillity of their respective quarter, and watch the conduct of the persons who, enjoying " military privilege," * (fuero ntilitar) may enter or reside in their district; they shall act in concert with the commissaries of police, whom they shall assist,in conformity with the instructions which, with the shortest possible delay; I shall transmit to your Excellency. By Royal command, T make this communication to your Excellencyjor your informa tion, and that, for the convenience of the service, the officers to be intrusted with the duties of this com mission, may be immediately selected for his Ma jesty's approval. (Signed) " ZAMBRANO, " Madrid, March 11. " Minister of Ware" (EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) " MADRID, MARCH 28.—An individual was ar rested on the 24th, for crying " Viva la liberta" in a coffee-house, being in a state of intoxication. He was condemned by the military commission, and will be executed to-morrow. This arbitrary and cruel proceeding combines ene circumstance; which has no precedent—namely, an execution in the holy week. The prisons are crowded, and %‘ e anticipate many similar scenes, as arrests are made every night. " Though part of the conspiracy is discovered, I am led to believe by the Liberals, that the grand scheme remains intact. How true this may be, I am not able to judge, but certainly since my resi dence in Spain, 1 have never observed this party ex press its hopes so sanguinely as at this moment, which is the more extraordinary from the check they have just received from the Government. At Cadiz an extraordinary vigilance is pursued by the police, particularly towards foreigners who art ive at that place. An English officer arrived there from Gibraltar, and notwithstanding the protection of the British Consul, his papers were seized, and he was ordered away. He ultimately received permission to proceed to Seville, but was ordered to keep him self at home (the Consul's house) during his stay at Cadiz, on pain of being arrested if met in the streets. This is occa%iened by the public demonstration ex hibited in favour of the refugees at Gibraltar, which had caused the Government to look with much jealousy upon Englishmen," (From the Madrid Gazette of the 29th.) On the 22d three of the accomplices in the assas sination of the illustrious Governor, Don Antonio del Hierro y Oliver, were shot in the back. The police of Algesiras having discovered that three of Manzartare's companions, and among them his second in command, Don. N. Campos, were to embark from the neighbourhood" of that town on the evening of the 15th fur Gibraltar, succeeded in apppehending the criminals. There have besides been ; taken, 13y different parties of troops and royalist volunteers, other seven rebels,. who had dispersed' and concealed themselves. Tltese with the three befocp mentioned, were conveyed to the Barrios, to be shot on thp 22d, at four in the evening. 4 .' This alludes solely to foreigners (evidently aimed at the French) who are by law gluier the jurisdiction of the Captain- General. Ap opOnt, which had nearly proved fatal to f l ue little hoy, occurred yesterday afternoon at that part of the Serpentine river where the late Lord Ittynts lost 144 life a short time ago, and which, from the open unpro tected state that it is left in, moat be always liable to lead to similar disasters. The poor little fellow to whom the accident h ippened was playing at battledore and shuttle with a boy about his own age, and in his thoughtless Ar qiety to ca'ch the shuttlecock before it fell, he actually ran over the bank into the river, and was put of sight in a moment. A foreign gentleman, whq was passing near p g , spot at the time, very humanely plunged into the water after him, aid with the ass'stance of a large New foundland .dog which he had with him, very speedily saved the poor boy from a watery grave.

PARIS, APRIL. O. (From the Times Correspondent.) It is not true, as you will see in some of the Journals of this morning, that the Russian Ambas sador, Count Pozzo di Borgo had received an ex traordinary courier from his Court, on the night be fore last, with important intelligence, which in stantly led to the convocation of the different Am bassadors at the French Court ; but it is true that he despatched a special courier to St. Petersburg)) last night. That courier conveyed, not the note of the French Government upon Italian affairs, for Oa! was communicated five days ago to the different em bassies, and in substance, as I have mentioned in a tinnier letter, announced that France will not permit Austria to occupy the Roman or the Tuscan Stares, and that a categorical answer is required forthwith upon this subject from the Cabinet of Vienna. The despatch sent last night by Count Pozzo di Borgo to his Court, conveyed the intelligence received from the Russian Embassy in London, of the opi nion of the English Ministers, upon receiving the notification made to the British Government, through M. Casimir Perrier, jun., of the views re specting Italian affairs entertained at the Court of the Petals Royal. It is understood here that the British Iklinistets have strongly recommended the appointment of a Congress in Rome, to atrange the existing differences, and that all the Ambassadors of the principal Powers have enforced this recommen dation upon the French Count. There is also rea son to believe that if Austria assents to a speedy though not an immediate evacuation of the Roman States, France will be induced to consent to relax in her first demand. The Austrians had not entered Rimini on the 25th, as some of the evening papers of this date mention. The Gazetta di Bologna of the 26th merely states, that they are approaching Rimini, on their march to Ancona. A demand has been made by a special messenger, that the patriots should re lease Cardinal Benvenuti, but they have peremp torily refused : he is with their army at Ancona. The Austrian Observer, which arrived this day, and is, as you know, the official organ of Prince Metternich, touches, with evidently a most scru pulous caution, upon Italian affairs, and merely gives in the most abridged form, the facts of the advance of their army. The trials of the heated zealots, the students, and ex-National Guards, who are in custody on charges of street insurrection, commenced at eleven o'clock this day, before the Paris Assize Court. Accord ing to some rumours last night, the mob were this morning to have asserted their sovereignty, and in terposed their might, against the controul of the law over the passions of these young men ; but their trial has brought no insurrection, nor is any martyr dom reserved for the enthusiasts, although some of the indictments are for capital charges: they must, I believe, be contented with the eclat of fine and imprisonment, when convicted. Seventeen young men were this day arraigned before the Court. The trials of some of them com menced, and they are expected to be continued from day to day for three weeks. An additional Judge and supplemental Jurors were nominated to look on and act, should illness interpose to withdraw any member of the regular bench or jury during so pro tracted a proceeding. The King's Advoeate opened tile proceedings; but it is superfluous, in this early stage of such a trial, to narrate over again the particulars of the noisy tumults of December and February. When ever these trials assume any point of interest, Ilshall report them. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. Office of the Lord Chamberlain to the Queen, Queen's-house. St. James's, April 8, 1;31.

(Frets the Lonticrs New Price Coirrext of yesterday.) SUGAR.—The Sugar Market opened (after the holy days) on Wednesday, and the good Sugars continue to go off freely, but there are not left more than about 2,000 hlids. and trs. in the imparters' hands, all the rest of the stock belongs to refiners, grocers, and a few parcels of very old Sugar ; the estimated sales are in consequence limited to 1,200 hhds. and trs. during the three days of businem this week : the prices are still higher than the preceding week. In the Refined Market the transactions have been very limited ; they are chiefly fine goods. This day the request for fine goods for home consuniption is again brisk, and the prices are ls. a 2s. higher. Molasses 245. FOREIGN SUGARS.—This day 202. chests, mostly Rio Janeiro, the white 255. a 295. 6d., former prices, 28 Bahia low to mid. white 21s. a 248.,. 12 Pernams 28s. a 28s. 6d.

There is no alteration in the Coffee Market. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Rum Market has been very heavy ; the purchases are quite inconsider able. Brandy and Geneva are equally dull. At a late hour to-day several sales of strong Rum for export are re ported, Demetara 35 over 2s. sd. Haar, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The prices of Tallow on the spot are entirely nominal, the last realized price was 47a. ; for arrival in September the quotation is 40s. The Commissioners of the Navy have given notice to the contractors they want an addition of 1,000 tons of Hemp to the late contracts, which, is, we believe, already com pleted without any material effect un our Market prices. Flax is little varied. TOBACCO.—Further sales of Tobacco are reported, the ord. 2 d. a 24d. Ous.—There is little variation in the prices of Oil since last week, but there is not so much business doing. COTTON. —The Market is steady, but Without briskness.

RVE.—Rice is lower; sales of Bengal at 15s. WooL.—The Market is still quiet, taut there are a few more sales than last week, and those at good prices ; the holders are firm, as the stock must be found to be very short before the-new clip can arrive.
