the law, are the natural consequences of civil liberty. The freedom of the press is the b ug b ear w hich frightens the I timid, the terror of all those whose interests are likely to suffer from so rigid and vigilant a censor. The question is teduced to this—whether the press is a positive good or evil ? The abuses into which it may be betrayed, the dangers which it may produce, are not to be considered of any weight against the essence of the principle., I think that the utility of the freedom of the press to be a problem resolved at the present day, in a most satis factory manner. Let France, let Belgium, let the United States, finally, little England, that classic soil of liberty, that privileged country, where social rights are known and respected—let them all bear witness to my assertion. The organization of the Urban Militia by a law is in my opinion the strongest guarantee which can be given to the nation for the protection of its rights. Let us not to be told that Government is occupied in preparing a regulation ; for what is conceded by a decree, which may be withdrawn as easily as it was issued, is not of the same value as that which is established by a fundamental law, in whose formation all those whose concurrence is essential concur. It will be said that in our Parliamentary labours we ought to proceed little by little : we should proceed little by little in that part of our Parliamentary labours which has reference to reforms. Reform indicates the existence of an abuse which it is proposed to correct ; and though it might be advantageous to correct abuses speedily, yet political reasons require that this should be done by de grees. But though this course should be adopted with re spect to reforms, it ought not to be adopted with respect to principles. A principle cannot be established bit by bit ; a principle, like truth, is admitted as soon as made known ; for the light of truth appears from the moment that the eyes are opened to see it. Besides, liberty is not a science to be learned ; it is a natural instinct im pressed on the human heart ; and man, as soon as he feels it, has a right to satisfy it, and to seek the shortest and most efficacious means of doing so. In vain reasons dawn from a theory, brilliant perhaps, but not the less spe cious, would persuade the contrary ; for it is plain that the shortest way to go from one point to another is by a straight line, and not by making several turnings. It v ill be said that the enjoyment of these rights might produce abuses in the actual condition of the nation. To forbid the use of a thing from fear of its abuse is an argument not admitted in sound logic ; for the same reason you might find fault with a general rule on account of the exceptions to it. Besides, all human things, the most useful and the best, are subject to abuses of power, to errors of compre hension, and to the excesses of the passions. Thus the arms which the assassin uses are the same as those which serve for the defence of the\ peaceful citizen. Let us carry this argument still further. Religion degenerated into fanaticism, which is its abuse, has been produc tive of the most horrid evils to society. The bloodiest wars, the most implacable hatred, the most atrocious slaughter, have often had their origin in a principle of virtue—in excess of piety badly understood. Will it be contended that on account of these things religion is an evil, and that its worships should be prohibited in all nations ? How often have we seen the sacred altars of justice bedewed with the blood of the innocent ! How often have the prisons been filled with the moans and the despairing shrieks of innocent victims ! And because there may have been judges whose ignorance, want of foresight, and malice have made them unworthy of the respectable character with which they were invested, is it to be inferred that the judicial institution is pernicious, and that tribunals ought not to exist ? Will it be said, too, that Spain is not in a condition to enjoy these rights ? When then will it be ? England and France may be regarded as the models of civilized nations. I have paid some attention to the state of things in those countries ; and though there may be a difference with respect to knowledge and enlightenment among the higher classes, and perhaps among the middle, yet that difference is not to be found among the common people, who form the greater mass of the nation. The com mon people are upon the whole, with few modifications, the same in all countries. But I will assert that the country population of Spain is not like that of the southern part of France. No, the Spaniards have a more vivid imagination, and a greater aptitude for all things ; and I also say, that with equal means they would have arrived at better results. But supposing, as I am bound to suppose, that Spain is at the present day much in arrear with respect to France and England, who will be found here bold enough to maintain that Spain in 1834 is more backward than England in 1688, the period when the fundamental rights of the Eng lish were declared ? Who will say that Spain is more back ward than Portugal ? I shall doubtless be told that the greater part of the rights includedin this petition are al ready comprised among our ancient laws. True—but how ? —as a beautiful vestment concealed at the bottom of a chest, from which we desire to take it for the purpose of giving it air. Thus, then, we ought to insist that our Go vernment should place us on an equality with those illustri ous nations which serve as a rule and a guide—with those nations which, if they have risen to the height of prosperity and greatry wi have only done so by means of a repre sentative and national government. The eyes of those nations, the eyes of the whole world are fixed upon us. What will they say if we reject the petition which has just been read to the Estate ? They will say that the represen tatives of the Spanish nation assemble in the temple of the law—for what purpose ?—to renounce their salvation, to become apostates to that faith which they ought to profess. An inconsistency so monstrous must excite the attention of the most indiffgrent. Therefore I support, as I think I ought to supporthe petition which has been read, and which I have had the honour to sign. I pray that the sentiments of my heart may be transmitted to all my Hon. Colleagues. Senor Bendicho spoke in support of the petition, and proposed the following addition :—" No law can be an nulled in Spain, in part or in whole, without the concur rence of the Cortes." Senor Santa Fe thought that every thing desired would be obtained by successive laws, and was against any decla ration of rights. Senor Villanueva, after speaking for some time in sup port of the liberty of the press, was called to order by the President, who reminded him that he was confining himself entirely to a single article, whereas the question for dis cussion was the whole petition. The Marquis de Falces observed, that in vain would principles be proclaimed if an immediate application could not be made of them. Moreover he was of opinion that in the present circumstanees it would be prejudicial to the public interest to adopt the proposed declaration. Senor Lopez spoke at great length in support of the petition. M. Martinez de la Rosa—ln consequence of the petition which is under discussion comprising so many objeots, its consideration becomes the more difficult and embarrassing. But it is not the fault of the Minissers that various demands are submitted to the Chamber at once, each of which em braces matter of the highest importance, and consequently calling for separate discussion. The petitions which are now submitted to the Cortes are indeed the same as were proposed during the debate on the speech from the throne, with this difference, which is sufficiently remarkable, that some of them were withdrawn by the committee charged with that duty, doubtless because they perceived that the Estate was inclined to disapprove of them. This is a ques tion of fact ; and on that occasion Senor Lopez exhibited a concession highly honourable to his judgment. The hon. member then said, that it was proper to withdraw a portion of the subjects from debate, because the committee had not the data which the Government wore in possession of. There was proposed to the Estate this same table of rights, for that was the name given to it. But it must be observed, that at that time it was called the table of rights and obliga tions, and that now the last part of the title, obligations, is suppressed—a circumstance which I shall presently touch upon. Although the ideas were highly laudable, because it appeared that nothing more was desired than to establish AS fundamental principles certain axioms, or what at least are thought to be so, yet several Procuradores proved that the taking the proposed course might be attended with serious inconveniences. The fact is, that the commission by the mouth of Senor Lopez expreased themselves in these words : " The Commission being aware of the force of the rea sons which both the Ministry and several Procuradores have urged, abandoned the field. If the expression may be allowed, and left the estate at full liberty to express its own opinion. The effect of thi s was t o di sa pp rove o f t h e pa ragraph as it stood in the act. Scarcely has a single month past, and again an attempt is made to present a load of pe titions in the same form and in the same expressions ; and this, though the Estate, h as a l rea d y man if es t e d i ts opinion on the subject. The petition s are indenti ca l ; the word " table" alone being omitted. The Estate did not disapprove of the ideas, for, with re s p ec t t o th e id eas , we all were, and are still agreed ; but it doubted the con venience or policy of bringing them forward at this time. The Estate, in admitting to-day what it rejected a month ago, will derogate from the character of gravity an d circum spection which forms the essential basis of every deliberative body. In the first project there was contained a para gra ph respecting the freedom of the press without previous censor ship, w hi c h th e comm ittee altered by omitting that con dition. It is clear that at that time the Estate was dis posed to approve of the continuation of the previous cen sorship, and now it i s so ug ht to make the Estate retract its decision, by aga i n su b m i tt i ng t h e same ma tter for discussion. If this attempt succeeds, there will be no stability in the judgments and decisions of the Estate, and thus the resolu tions come to by it a f ter mature deliberat i on, w ill l ose all that weight which they ought to have in the eyes of the na tion. Senor Trueb a has q uo t e d B ent h am to ensure the slow progress made in reforms, forgetting, however, that the same Bentham has, with much reason , sa id t h at th e command to reform precipitately on th e i nstant appears to be a method copied from Constantinople or Algiers, and THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEM:BER 11, 1834. that to make improvements gradually is the characteristic of wisdom and equity. But to follow Senor Trueba, England, a country which I also love, and whose institutions I admire, is precisely the country in which liberty has been acquired by degrees, and not suddenly, and in which declarations of rights were not made until long after many had been con solidated. It was only after the expulsion of the Stuarts that the constitutional edifice was crowned with the cupola of the declaration of rights, which is here proposed as a commencement. In nations which are essentially mo narchic, if that principle be destroyed, liberty is destroyed with it. Licentiousness then comes, and with it every fury and disorder. The people then call for a dictatorship, that they may be rescued from the chaos of tyranny. Of this the histories of Cromwell and Bonaparte are examples. It was far from being a prudent step in the French to begin with a declaration of rights, thereby very inopportunely imitating what a few years before had occurs in the United States, without p a yi n g a ttention to the Merence of countries and circumstances. Laws should be accommo dated to the habits, interests, and customs of nations. I may here quote the words of a celebrated man who was distinguished by many great qualities amongst his defects. When the Constituent Assembly made a declaration of the kind proposed, Mirabeau observed—" This will not last longer than an almanack—that is to say, a year." The Secretary of State then proceeded to criticise the articles of the petition in succession. With regard to the liberty of the press, he observed that he was not insensible of its benefits. It might be recollected that he had formerly proposed its establishment, and wished to accompany it as a safeguard with the trial by jury. But having af terwards seen the consequences which followed the liberty of the press elsewhere, he was convinced that the nation was not yet prepared for the enjoymentof that institution, and that it would be necessary to postpone its establishment to a more suitable time. The country was at present precisely in that sort of situation in which the English suspend their law of Habeas Corpus, and the Romans used to resort to that of Caveant Consules. If the Estate adopt this article, what must the Government do in the circumstances in which the country is placed ? How is conspiracy to be guarded against ? In such a situation legal forms cannot be strictly observed. In a word, the proposition is the same as to say " Your hands are tied, now labour ; your feet are bound, now run." He con cluded by remarking that he could easily go more at large into the reasons which induced him to oppose the approval of these petitions as they were now drawn up, but he would reserve what he had further to say until the details came to be discussed, if the Estate should allow them to reach that stage. _ After some explanations by Senores Trueba and Lopez, it was decided that the question had been sufficiently discussed, and that the voting should be nominally. The result of the division on the question that there is ground for voting on the petition was 73 for, 36 against. The question was then put on the petition as a whole, when the votes, given nominally for approving it, were 71, against it 38. The President intimated that the discussion now sus pended would be resumed next day at 10 o'clock. SEPT. 2. The Chamber of Procuradores was opened at an early hour this morning. The public, reserved, and diplomatic Tribunes were all crowded. Brigadier Palarea, whose name was compromised in the supposed conspiracy of the 24th July, took the oaths and his seat. The debate on the petition then commenced by Sig. Ca ballero reading the first article, namely—" That individual liberty is protected and guaranteed, and consequently that no Spaniard can be compelled to do that which the law does not order." Sig. Toreno then rose and addressed the Chamber at considerable length, and refuted several of the arguments drawn from the " History of England," which he considered were not fairly stated by Messrs. Trueba and Lopez, and ended by proposing, as an amendment, that the following words be substituted in lieu of the first article—" That the law in future shall protect individual liberty." Sigs. Gonzales, Caballero, Lopez, and Priest Dias Gon sales, supported the original article. Sigs. Santa Fe, La Torra; and Martinez de la Rosa, sup ported the amendment. After which the House proceeded to a nominal votation, when there appeared of the 104 Members present— For the original article 52 For the amendment This equality of votes occasioned great embarrassment to the Chamber, the reglamento not having provided that the vote of the President should decide ; and Martinez de la Rosa proposed that the question should be re-voted to morrow ; but Messrs. Lopez and Las Navas opposed that, as some of the Procuradores might be induced, by reasons out of doors, to change their opinions in the interim. Signor La Santa suggested that the question should be again discussed, as it was possible several of the Deputies might change their minds, on hearing fresh arguments, and he said such was the custom in the Cortes of 1812. This brought up Moscoso, who denied that the practice of 1812 was as the Hon. Deputy represented it, and a second voting then never took place unless it was the opinion of the House that the subject was not sufficiently discussed. La Santa, however, produced the book of the old Cortes, and his thus correcting Moscoso on such authority seemed to give great pleasure to the Chamber. A stormy conver sation then took place, which was broken by the Senhor Gonzales calling to the table the fourteen Members who had signed the petition, and requesting them to sign an amendment which he then meant to propose. This was in stantly complied with, and after the fourteen Deputies had attached their names to it, Signor Gonzales moved that the following words be sub stituted in lieu of the amendment of M. Toreno, and of the first article—namely, " That the law protects and guarantees individual liberty?' _ _ Signor Belda w said that no new discussion must take place on this new proposition. Signor Lopez contended that this was an amendment of an article already sufficiently discussed, and that the vote should be taken without any further delay. Signor Trueba contended that the question was reduced simply to this, whether the House would or would not take into consideration an amendment moved by the Commission itself which drew up the petition. The House then proceeded to vote, and out of 100 Mem bers present, four being gone away, there appeared— For the amendment of the Commission 95 For the amendment of T0ren0....... Majority against Ministers —93 Moscoso and two other Deputies refused to vote. The Sitting was then closed, and the discussion of the remaining articles postponed till Thursday. After all this inconsistency of votes, how can I ven ture to give an opinion f or m e d o n m y P ar liamentary experience in England ? Can Ministers remain in the face of such a majority ? A devil at my elbow whispers that Toreno is at the bottom of the whole, and that it is nothing but a plot to turn out his colleagues, and put himself at the head of his creatures, and form a new Administration.

If this class of small fundholders be added to the number of depositors in the Savings' Banks, they will form together a body of nearly half a million of per sons ; and if these be considered as members of families, at the low average of four persons in each family, there will be found two hundred thousand of a very humble class in society who, in themselves or their immediate connections, have an interest in the public welfare and in the permanent stability of the existing institutions of the country, which cannot be en dangered without at the same time endangering their personal and private property. Few public characters have left behind them a more interesting memorial of a useful and well -spent life than the excellent biography of the late Henry Salt, Esq., a name de servedly known and appreciated, not only in his own country, but also throughout the civilized world. His labours are inse parably connected with our most agreeable recollections of the East, on account of the valuable and important discoveries which, through his liberality and zealous co-operation with modern travellers, have been effected in Egypt—a region to which the attention of every one is at present directed, whether in a commercial or political point of view, or as intimately asso ciated with Holy Writ. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 134. An express from Madrid, bearing date the 3d inst., brings us a full report of the discussion which took place in the Chamber of Procuradores or Deputies, on moving the adoption of a Bill of Rights, the principal clauses of which appeared in The Sun of Tuesday. We then took occasion to speak of the Bill as excel lent so far as it went, at the same time observing that it was wofully deficient in not providing for the exercise of popular rights, so far as these rights ought to operate in giving a being and a tone to the Spanish Legislature. For example, it is not enough to affirm that men shall not be obliged to do any thing not commanded by the laws : it ought also to be laid down how the laws them selves are be enacted, by whom they are to be framed and executed, and by what authority the framers of such laws shall enter upon the discharge of their high and important functions. In a word, the franchise ought to be first fixed, and made the basis of the new Constitution. Now this the framers of the Spanish Bill of Rights have entirely overlooked —their Bill guarantees the freedom of the subject, the protection of property, and the liberty of the press ; but it does not provide against the enactment of laws in vio lation of the liberties of the people, and to which laws, they must be obedient—it does not guard against the imposition of taxes, to the utility or necessity of which neither the people nor their representatives are consenting—it does not define, or attempt to define the Royal prerogative, or in what way the rights which it recognizes are to be defended against the encroach ments of rank, and the abuses of power. In these particulars the Bill is utterly imperfect, and therefore, except as far as regards the inviolability of the domestic hearth, the liberty of the press, and t h e Urban Militia, the question is more about abstract truths—of first principles—than of the proper appli cation of these principles in the Government of Spain.

THE SUN IS NOW THE LARGEST DAILY PAPER IN LONDON. gentleman in support of the prt )position, is one of the most rich in thought, varied in...expression, and apposite in illustration, of any which it has been our fortune to meet with among the reported speeches of modern legislators.. It certainly exceeds any effort of mind which has yet been displayed in the Reformed Housc of Com mons. The orator descanted. learnedly and eloquently on the justice, the sound policy, the natural consequences, and the imperative necessity of the measure. Nothing could be finer than h3s distinction between the effect ing of reforms and the recognition of principles—than his repudiation of the usual mockery of expediency and delay, when the question under consideration was not the abolition of :in abuse, but the recognition of a principle. M. M. DE. LA ROSA opposed the measure in a speech as weak, sus contemptible, and as unprinci pled, as his opponent's abounded in strength, energy, and truth. He talked of the obvious truth of the principles under discuusion—of their being already re cognized as self evident in the ancient laws and customs of the kingdom—of the it sacredness—of the honesty of himself and his colleagues—of the inappropriate ness of the time chosen for discussing the merits of the.new Charter—of its; inexpediency at the present moment, and with wonderful consistency voted for its rejection. The other Ministers were evidently ashamed of the task they were called upon to perform. They held their peace, and so far they acted with discretion. But M. M. DE LA ROSA spoke what he must have mown not to be true, when he stated that the recognition of the principles, imperfectly as they are developed in the new Bill of Rights, formed any part of the ancient constitution of the kingdom of Spain. He must have known that personal liberty was never known in Spain, from the expulsion of the Moors till the abolition of the Infernal Tribunal of the Dominican, and Jesuit Monks, under the impious denomination of a Holy Inquisition. As to the old metaphysical jargon, about the seeds of these principles being scattered here and there =wig old institutions, it may be answered by observing, that the previous existence of the materials of a building is no argument against the necessity of its construction in a regular form, but the contrary. The obviousness, the justice, and the previous ap proval by the Government of Spain, of the articles of the new charter—truisms, as M. M. DE LA ROSA called them--was a poor excuse for voting against them in an emb o di e d an d tang ibl e shape. After a very animated and very able debate, the Chamber divided on the question, whether or not the Bill of Rights as a whole should be adopted, when the Ministry were left in a minority of thirty-three, the numbers being— For the adoption of the Bill of Rights Against it (including Ministers) 3B Majority —33 The Bill was then discussed in detail. On the first article being read, which guarantees individual liberty, and enacts that no Spaniard shall be compelled to do anything not enjoined by the laws, two divisions took place ; on the first the Ministers were de feated by an overwhelming majority, the numbers being ninety-five to two, and on the second the num bers were even, so that by a skilful manoeuvre the Ministers managed to throw aside the article, by voting it unnecessary. The discussion on the bill is there fore only yet begun, but there is no doubt but that DB LA ROSA, and his colleagues, will contrive to strangle it. They are as unpopular as they can be, and the rejection of this measure will render them the absolute abhorrence of all the liberal men, both in Spain, France, and England. We have received by express the whole of the Paris Papers of Tuesday, together with private intelligence from Bayonne of the sth inst. They contain no do mestic news of any importance, being principally filled with rumours respecting the movements of the Opposing armies in Spain, for the particulars of which we refer to our extracts from the French journals. Our Bayonne communication states that Don CARLOS has bethought himself of creating mi litary Orders of Knighthood, with which to sate the ambition of his ragged followers, who, of course, will be insensible to the pangs of hunger and thirst, and the fatigues of midnight flight, when their brave bosoms are adorned with a quarter of a yard of sixpenny ribbon ! We have not heard by what name the new order of Knights are to be distinguished: if they are not yet provided with an appellation we should recommend them to be called Knight's of the most Primitive order of the Shirtless Host.

' We have long desired to see an engraving from Wilkie's inimitable " Parish Beadle," and at length our wishes are gratified, and this to the fullest extent. Mr. Rainbach has done every justice to his subject of which it is susceptible. The characteristic touches of humour—the boldness, and perfect naturalness of the grouping—the little happy bit of back-ground bounded by the quaint, old village church—each and all of these, which are so impressive in the painting have been transferred with an almost literal fidelity to the engraving. Those, therefore, who wish to have a notion of what Wilkie is—or rather of what he has been, for he has now broken up new ground, and preferred failure in courtly portraiture, to success in more familiar and homely subjects— will do well to secure this clever work of art. The true Wilkie spirit pervades every part of it. Look, for instance, at the Parish Beadle, bursting with all the dignity that gold-lace and scarlet can confer upon him —the despot of the village —whose frown is annihila tion to every ragged urchin within the sphere of its influence. He is sailing along like some portly seventy-four, with a mob of delinquent itinerants in his wake—some resigned to their fate—others re monstrating—but all equally seeming to feel what a hopeless task it is to contend against autho rity. The itinerant showman and his wife are capitally executed. She affects the heroic, he the sulky, like the bear which he is dragging along ; while the monkey, who is perched on the shoulders of One of the showman's children, takes things coolly like a philosopher, knowing well that let things come to the worst, the beadle's staff cannot fall with more severity on him than his master's cudgel. The turnkey—or sub-beadle—who is represented open ing the door of the Black-hole, does so in a truly professional spirit, and with all the avidity of a good man performing a virtuous action. He is evidently exerting his utmost diligence, in the hope of extorting a condescending smile from the countenance of the awful beadle. Like all Wilkie's productions, this work tells its own story at once. BOW STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Jaques was brought before Mr. Missuuti, upon a warrant issued at the suit of the overseers of the parish of St. Nicholas, Lombard-street, for refusing to pay the sum of 40/. las., in which he was indebted to them for the mainte nance of an illegitimate child. The Parish Solicitor stated that the child was born in 1817, when the defendant was adjudged to pay 3s. a week. He paid regularly up till 1824, when he ceased. The parish authori ties had done all in their power to get the money from him, but they failed; and were now obliged to have recourse to severe measures with him for the large balance now due. The defendant was a coach lace-maker, and he believed could earn from 2/. to 3/. per week. Under these circumstances he left the case to be dealt with by his worship. The defendant denied that he could make anything like the wages stated ; he was an agent, or acted as secretary to their society, for which he was paid 305. a week, and that he de clared was all he got. The Magistrate said the parish must be indemnified in some shape; he dared to say they would not be hard upon him. It was his duty to commit him, but lie would take care he (de fendant) was liberated whenever the overseers were satisfied with any arrangement he might offer. The defendant said he could not afford much out of what he earned, for he was now married, and had five children to support. It was impossible for him to make anything like what was stated, for his trade, like others, was not near so good as jt used to be. Mr. MINSHULL committed him for the arrears from 1824 up to 1833, when the boy was sixteen years of age. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY. (FROM LLOYD'S.)

THE FUNDS. --(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK Hobart Town papers to the 30th April, and Launcestown to the 18th of April, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Hobart Town papers do not bring any information of consequence. The speculators in the Cortes Bonds are again disappointed .-_another express this morning from Madrid, and no report of the Finance Committee, which has somewhat damped their spirits. Spanish, which left off yesterday 49i 4, opened at 491, and receded to 494 ;at present 49g. Portuguese is also heavy at 81i Consols, which left off' 90 maintain the same price, with little doing at present. HALF-PAST ONE. Several bets expired this day that Spanish Stock would not be done at 50, amongst which was one of 5,000/. The above were decided about half-past twelve o'clock, when Spanish in the early part of the morning was 49k, reached 50, which de cided the above transactions. Previous to which a report prevailed that Zumalacarregui was killed in a battle, and Don Carlos had retreated into France. No doubt this report was a manceuvre to assist the above gambling trans actions ; for immediately after the bets were decided, Spanish receded again to 4ga -; Portuguese, 81k. Consols are not so good as in the early part of the day, when they were 00i ;at present they are 90i with little doing.
