TRENCHI 3 SPritS 01')X1 r U RD AY. The jltinwrial Bordelais bi the 23d inst. has the following, of the preceding day, from Bayonne :—" In Galicia a faction has been formed, which the Count of Carthagena (General Morillo) soon destroyed, by or dering the military chiefs Cesare and Albard to be shot, and promising 20,000 reals to any one who would deliver up the insurgent canon Gerostidi, who is stirring up the country. Spain and Portugal have at length formed an alliance offensive and defensive. Estefani has been condemned to death. Letters from Saragossa give details of the terrible events of which that city has been the theatre. tt appears that on the Ba 4 inst. several national guards (Urbanos) were as wassinated by the Carlists with poniards. A circum stance so horrible roused the indignation of the Li berals to the highest pitch. On the following day they traversed the town, killing ill the Royalist Volunteers they met with. When the courier set off 20 were lying wounded or dead, and vengeance was not then appeased. The troops remained immoveable at all these horrors ; several Miguelites, however, went about the town, endeavouring to stop the slaughter by persuasion, but without appearing hostile to the Li beral party, whose exasperation is at its height. The Carlists are becoming more audacious every day, owing to the impunity afforded to them. We learn from Valladolid, that it is not possible to go out hi the evening without being insulted, robbed, or assassinated. A conspiracy has just been discovered ht the latter town. Nearly 800 men, chiefly monks, were to join the curate Merino. Several arrests have taken place; but we are assured that, even on going to prison, the Carlists insulted those who guarded them. The little band which presented itself at La Granja, seven leagues from Madrid, haw been beaten and put to flight." The Saragossa Gazette of the 14th instant says— " According to news from Portugal, the Pretender, Don Carlo, has signified to all his officers, that he was satisfied with their loyalty, but that he would not employ them, and that they consequently might take what course they thought best. Such is the result of the_ project of the Pretender's invading army." The Berlin State Gazette of the 20th inst. quotes Prussian 4 per Cents. 99k 981 ; ditto, 5 per Cents., 1822, English Loan, 103. The Qiiotidienne hits thefollowing :—" Neither Eng land nor France is disposed, it seems, to interfere in Portugal by arms, and assuredly the Portuguese will not, at the simple suggestion of the French and English Cabinets, forsake a sovereign to whom they are so devoted as they are to Don Miguel, and that doubtless because they are so little enlightened. But the Queen of Spain will send tr oo ps. Thi s suppos i t i on i s t h e height of absurdity, when the present state of Spain is considered. The mass of the Spanish people offer up wishes for the cause of Don Miguel in Portugal, and the moment troops are sent to depose him, the Carlists will give the Constitutionalists occupation enough in the interior. Thus, as far as we know, the plan of the Whigs to arrange the affairs of Portugal appears likely to have the same success as their plans for the interior, to render the people happy, by the application of the rules of liberal wisdom." By intelligence from St. Petersburgh of the 2d inst., we learn that an edict has been issued declaring the sea of Azoff to be closed against all merchant ships which have not elsewhere undergone a quarantine of observation. A letter of the 14th ult. from Nauplia says-" We learn from Samos that the inhabitants of the island are determined not to submit to the Sultan upon any terms. They have determined rather to leave the island, and send a deputation to our government, re questing permission to settle in Negropont, and there found a new city. If this be granted to them, Negro pont, from the known activity of these brave islanders, will soon be in a flourishing condition." The Journal des Debats, referring to the rumoured treaty between England, France, Portugal, and Spain, say-" We are not able either fully to confirm or to contradict the statements of the English papers re specting these important negotiations ; nevertheless, the object of them appears to us to be so completely conformable to the interests of these four Powers, that we cannot but ardently wish success to an arrangement which would put an end to the horrible infliction of civil war, and give stability to the relations of both France and England with the Peninsula." The Constitutionnel says that it can assert in the most positive manner that the treaty between the four Powers has been signed. Spain, who for some time has had 12,000 or 14,000 men, with artillery, ready to pass the frontiers, offers to Don Pedro to place these troops at his disposal as long as he may think proper, and to recall them at his demand.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 26.—0 n Thursday his Ma jesty's ship, Pallas, 42, Captain William Wal pole, arrived at Plymouth (put in with strong S.E. wind), from the West India station, last from Port Royal Jamaica, whence she sailed on the 15th ult. with his Excellency the late Governor of that Island, the Earl of Mulgrave, the Countess of Mul grave, and suite. His Lordship has returned home in tolerably good health, considering his anxious exer tions in the administration of his government. His Lordship resigned his government (says the Kingston Chronicle) and departed from the shores of it " amidst the sorrowful wailings, the deep regret, and the best wishes of a grateful and warm-hearted population. Swiftly may the gallant ship reach her destination, and deposit on the shores of happy England the many , kind hearts, fair forms, and noble spirits that she will soon bear far beyond the burning skies and the stormy at - rndephewk which mark our sultry climate," The island was tranquil and prosperous. The inhabitants pre sented an address to him On his embarking, deeply regretting that his impaired health was the cause of his resigning the government. The merchants of King ston, previous to the sailing of the Pallas, voted an address to Captain Walpole, expressive of their ap , probation of his conduct, and gratitude for the services of that gallant and obliging officer. " Thus will he (says the Kingston Chronicle), as well as the noble party who accompany him carry home to his So vereign and his countrymen, the grateful testimony of the esteem and best wishes of the inhabitants of this loyal colony." The Pallas is hourly expected to arrive at Spithead. The following is from our correspondent in the Tagus a LISBON, APRIL 12.—Little has occurred this week except full confirmation of the successes in the north of Portugal, the door of which was opened by our brave country man N a pi er , a t Caminha i and we have reason to think that there does not exist a Miguelite soldier (free) in the Entre Douro province. He was off the D ouro a f ew d ays s i nce, w i th his flag in the Eliza corvette; and we conclude, that if he can muster enough troops he will attack Figueira, which is the only port the Miguelites have on the whole coast, and that, from its extreme difficulty of access, is of little use to them. If he can effect a landing, he will soon reduce that place, though the holding it would be of little value, unless a force could be detached to reduce Coimbra also. He has not a force sufficient for that purpose. Don Pedro made a visit to the army this week, and returned yesterday. He has, in this day's Gazette, published an especial order of the day, landing every one, officers and men, before Santarem, in the north, and in the Algarves, mentioning the generals commanding by name, but not one word about Napier, to whom he owes everything that has been won from Don 'las not force enough with him.

DUTCH PAPERS. SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL. THE HAGUE, APRIL 24.—The order of the day was the debate on the three projects of law relative to the finances. The first law proposed, relative to the paying off of the Bonds bearing interest ac six per cent., was agreed to by a majority of 48 to 8. The send project, authorising the government to dispose of 6,300,000 florins stock, bearing interest at five per cent., was also adopted by a majority of 48 to 8. Lastly, the law relative to the Treasury Bonds was adopted by 32 votes4442jotes. The Chamber then proceeded to the discussion of the law providing for the eemplete payment of the in terest of the national debt due on the 30th June, 1834. Several members spoke on the occasion. Those who alien) , opposed the law were Messrs. Luyben and Van ties. They declared that they could not answer it to their consciences to pay a debt which, in a certain point of vi ew , i s no t ours , a n d which perhaps will never be repaid ; and that the distressed situation in which we continue to be does not allow Holland to continue ,to pay that part of the debt which must in the sequel fall to the charge of Belgium. Messrs. Doukir and Luzac, however, with powerful arguments, and in de tailed speeches, refuted their arguments, and main tained that, in order to preserve the public credit, it was necessary to proceed in the course hitherto pursued. In this discussion the speakers very generally ex pressed the wish that the Government would do every thing in its power to come to a final arrangement with Belgium, by which we should likewise be relieved from our state of uncertainty. The members also urged the reduction of the army, the disbanding of the militia of 1826, 1827, and 1828, and especially the sending of the schuttery to their homes. M. Donker Curtius said that the late political communications made by the Government had been seen in a wrong point of view by some members. He confessed that they discouraged the hope of a speedy arrangement with Belgium, but that the blame was not to be laid on our Government, but on England and France, as ap peared from their refusal to negotiate any further till the assent of the house of Nassau to the cession of part of Luxemburg had been obtained. The Minister of Finance defended the law, which was adopted by 47 to 6 votes. In the course of the debate, the Minister of Fi nance intimated, that after the discussion of the four financial laws in the First Chamber, the sittings of the State will be closed, and that they will not meet again till October. • DUTCH FUNDS—AMSTERDAM, APRIL 25.

By a return laid before the House of Com mons, on the motion of Mr. Lennard, it appears that in the course of last year 246 persons were sentenced to death for robbery, of whom seven only were exe cuted. A correspondent of the Journal de Frank fbrt, from Odessa, denies the reports in circulation re specting famine in the South of Russia. The Nuremburg Correspondent of the 19th instant states that the provincial battalion of Lindau, on hearing that the Poles meditated an attempt to break into Germany, probably with a view of advancing 'to Frankfort, simultaneously declared themselves ready to take up arms to oppose them. The King of Bavaria has expressed his satisfaction with the battalion for con duct so patriotic. - The Manheim Gazette says—" It is pro bable that if Berne does not send away the refugees, a cordon of Sardinian and Austrian troops will be esta blished on the Swiss frontiers. This measure may be the more promptly executed, since Prussia has given her assent to the separation demanded by the Canton of Neufchatel. This last circumstance may occasion an armed intervention, in order to prevent a dismem berment, and France may also send a corps of observa tion to the frontier. As yet, however, no step has been taken on either side." By the Columbia steam-packet, bringing the Mediterranean mail, advices have been received from Malta to the 9th, Gibraltar to the 20th, and from Cadiz to the 21st inst. A shock of an earthquake was felt at Cadiz on the 17th, and so violent that the houses were shook to their very foundations, and the inmates rushed out and congregated in the squares and open places for safety. No injury, however, appears to have been sustained. The Edinburgh, 74 guns, and Jaseur sloop of war, both from England, arrived off Malta on the Bth. Some reports were current in the course of the morning of information by this arri val of the actual entry of a large body of Spanish troops into Portugal, but we do not trace them to any good authority, nor do they seem worthy of much attention, as the first news of such a movement would reach England earlier, in all probability, by the way of Madrid.— Times. The Journals which have been seized on the occasion of the late events are the Tribune, the Echo Francais, the Gazette de Prance, the Patriote de la Cote d' Or, of Dijon ; the Peuple Souverain, of Mar seilles ; the Patriote du Puy de Dome, of Clermont ; the Courrier de la Sarthe, of Mans ; the Progres, of Avignon ; the Patriote de Saone et Loire, of Cha lons ; the Liberal du Nord, of Douay ; the Echo du Nord, of Lille ; and the Propagateur du Pas de Ca ldis, of Arras. The editors arrested are all those at tached to the Tribune and the Peuple Souverain; M. Miran, of the Patriote Franche-Comtois ; M. Crepe, of the Dauphinois ; and M. Guvot, of the Progres. On Friday evening, the Sheriff's of London and Middlesex proceeded to the shop of Mr. Penny, the printer and publisher of a weekly unstamped news paper, in Chancery-lane, and levied an execution upon the goods for 8001, being six penalties of 201. each and costs, forfeited in the Court of Exchequer, for printing and publishing the said unstamped newspaper. The informations were filed by Sir William Horne, the ex- Attorney-General, and the trial took place before Mr. Baron Vaughan. Mr. Penny had leave for a new trial, but in consequence of a technical omission on his part, he did not avail himself of his motion.

The coal mine called La Concession du Poirier, at Montigny-sur- Sambre, in Belgium, took fire on the 16th inst. The men at one time thought they had mastered the fire, but afterwards a sudden explosion took place, and of 10 men who were employed at the time in the pit only one escaped with life. THE LATE RIOTS IN PARIS.—The wounds received in the riots were not so numerous as severe. Nineteen cases were taken into the Hotel Dieu, one wo man among them, who had received a bayonet wound; of the rest six were soldiers ; amputation in the shoul der joint, in consequence of a grievous gun shot wound of the upper part of the humerus, was performed in one case by M.

But from the sample he has given as a repealer, we doubt his capacity in this respect. In the Common Council held on Saturday, a discussion took place on the Sabbath Bill, when the report of a Committee designating it as unnecessary and mischievous was agreed to almost unanimously. We believe only two hands were held up against the report, and but one speaker could be found to back Sir AN DREW. The main argument of that speaker only confirms what has been repeatedly urged, that there are men who, somehow or other, get seats in the Common Council and in Par liament, yet are so ignorant, or so blinded by the enthusiasm with which they pursue some favourite doctrine, as to be incapable of acting or speaking with common sense. One would hardly have supposed that any person out of Bedlam would have urged as a plea for the measure that it was only the re-enactment of a bill which was already the law of the land ; yet this was the reply of Mr. WILLIAMS to those who -called the bill mischievous and un necessary. If the agitation of this question only exposed the folly and absurdity of such men, we might have allowed them to enjoy their bright visions in undisturbed repose, but as their schemes have a most mischievous tendency on the best interests of religion, and would lead to the desecration rather than the due observance of the Sabbath, it would be a crime in any public journal to allow them to pass without the severest reprehension. Putting religion out of the question, the bill is the most barefaced attempt ever made by a legislator to catch within the meshes of the law the middle and lower classes, and allow the rich to escape. Instead of protecting and favouring the poor, it would impose on them the • most galling re strictions—it would leave the rich in the en joyment of their present privileges, and give strength to the often-repeated accusation, that our senators have no sense of impartiality and no community of feeling with those for whom they legislate. The glaring injustice of the measure would render the law a mere dead letter. No force, no army, ever could carry it into effect, because it is repulsive to the general feelings of the people. Im portant, however, as such considerations are, they are trifling as compared to the injury done to the very cause which these men wish to pro mote. The discussion in the Common Council fully bears us out in a former assertion, that the people, in place of obeying the law, would begin to inquire on what authority the ob servance of the day was originally founded, and whether they were not, by the com mands of Scripture, bound to observe rather the Jewish Sabbath than the first day of the week. For the one we have the example of the primitive Christians, for the other, a positive command from the highest of all authorities ; and so much at one time were some Christians impressed by example on one hand, and direct authority on the other, that, for the sake of conscience, they religiously ob served both. If the agitation of the ques tion is kept up we may expect a new sect, or rather two new sects—one joining with the .Yews, and the other, "to make assurance doubly sure," joining with both Jews and Christians. A solemn decision of Parliament on this question is more imperiously called for than a decision on the question of repeal. In his conscience (said Mr. PEARSON) he be lieved it could not be effected, and it would be more to the advantage of re ligion and morality, more to the interest of the poor, to let the observance of the Lord's Day rest where it now stood, upon the good feeling of the majority of mankind, upon the impression of early education, reverence for religious institutions, and that increase of good example in the higher and middling classes, than attempt by a new law to encroach on the harm less recreations of the poor, while it extended the legal right of the rich to violate it with impunity. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 28, 1834. Though we detest the selfishness of Mr. O'CoNNELL, who seeks to agitate, and has suc ceeded in agitating, Ireland, in order to fill his own pockets, and who has been guily of quasi sa crilege, in making the sanctity of the altar the means of extorting pittances from poor people, we have always advocated, and shall continue to advocate, the cause of Ireland. Peter's pence has long ceased to be collected in this country, and we trust that Daniel's pence will soon cease to be collected in Ireland. Never theless, we insist that. her energies should be properly directed, and her capabilities made availing. There is no country in Europe, per haps in the world, for which nature has done so much in the way of external and internal com munication. Her shores are surrounded by the sea with numerous natural harbours, particularly on the south and western coast, where vessels of any burden may enter and depart at any time of the tide, and always ride in safety. The Shannon, which infinitely sur passes any river in England, traverses Ireland for nearly 200 miles, all the way navigable, and there are numerous navigable lakes of several miles in length in Galway and Mayo, which could not only be easily connected with each other, but made to communicate with the Shannon, which itself is a succession of lakes, nature having formed basins by barriers of rocks, where a little cut only is required to improve the navigation, and also to extend and regulate irrigation. We observe Mr. LYNCH has given notice of It has been determined by the Belgian go vernment to make an iron railroad at the public expense. If the English government were to advance money on the security of the parishes in the line from the north of Scotland to the Land's-end for a railroad through the country, the interest being paid from the tolls, it would create a vast demand for labour, and render the operation of the proposed Poor Laws Bill com ‘ paratively easy. Branch roads would then be made by private individuals and companies, in every direction, by which an immense demand would be created for labour. A similar road might be made through Ireland, which would do real service to both countries. his intention to move for a committee to con sider of the improvement of Ireland, which we trust will not be longer delayed. We do not pretend to give advice, but we beg leave to present some considerations to the learned member for the town of Galway. There are three leading objects—the navigation of the Shannon—the improvement of the bogs—and the superintendence of the roads. For all or each of these we presume the learned gentleman means to propose a commission. If so, we beg leave to suggest that such commission should hold its sittings as the commission for Highland roads and bridges did in Westminster. When that commission was issued in 1802, The French Papers and private corre spondence confirm the intelligence we gave, we believe exclusively, above a week ago ; viz., that M. Burtoos had retired from the Spanish ministry, and that ALTAMIRA was his suc cessor. The Spanish troops have entered Por tugal ; and now that the treaty between France, England, Spain, and Portugal, has been signed, we may look for a speedy termination of the civil war which has too long raged in the latter countries. Both MIGUEL and CARLOS will doubtless retire, now that England and France - earnest. They may go to there were not wanting persons in Scotland who insisted that the place for its meetings should be Edinburgh ; as we doubt not persons in Ireland will now be found who will insist that Dublin shall be the place of meeting of any nr,mmissioners for Ireland.

The circular of MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA to the diplomatic agents of Spain in foreign courts will be found in another column. Don JUAN ALVAREZ GUERIA has been appointed the successor of ALTAMIRA. The Spanish funds have risen 4 per cent. The German papers state that the confe rences of the German Ministers proceed more slowly than was at first supposed and it is not impossible that some of the members of the conference may leave Vienna for a time, and their places be supplied by others during their absence. Active negotiations are on foot respecting Switzerland. An Austrian courier set out yester day for Madrid, whose despatches are said to relate to the Swiss affairs. A Russian courier has also been despatched to Italy, the diplomatic communications with which country appear to be most important. VIENNA, APRIL 17.—Five per . Cent. 97 15-16 ; Four per Cent. 88; Bank Securities I,243.—Allgemeine Zeitung, April 22. Letters from Madrid state, that thirty-four archbishops, bishops, mitred abbots, and other church dignitaries, have solemnly proteste d against the convocation of the Cortes, as set tled by the decrees of the 10th inst. This is natural, and will prove beneficial. The Spa nish church will gain as much as the English clergy did by their opposition to Parliamentary reform, or the heads of the English universi ties will, by refusing to admit dissenters on equal terms. We expected that the Dutch merchants would ere long find out their mistake in supporting so steadily their obstinate monarch. There have been strong remarks in the Chamber of the States-General on the expenses of the army, and against any further protraction of a final settlement with Belgium. The Dutch KING has been very reluctant to give up the sove reignty of Belgium—he will gain as his reward the dislike, mistrust, and reproaches of those whose good opinion and confidence are neces sary to his enjoyment of the sovereignty of that country in which he might have been beloved and revered. All is quiet in Jamaica. The Commercial Advertiser, in reference to the departure of Lord MULGRAVE, says— " We have bidden farewell to a Governor whose highest ambition while among us was to render justice to all parties, to afford protection to the weak, to dis arm the oppressor, and, by firmness and decision of character, to bring into operation, without respect of persons, the rights and privileges of the British con stitution. Undismayed, he repressed a civil war— not between bond and free, but between those whom the law of our land had made political equals. By his firmness the hydra of religious intolerance was de stroyed, party feelings were subdued, and unanimity promoted. " Three fourths, at least, of the free inhabitants of Jamaica concur in the prudential and judicious deci sions of the Earl of Mulgrave ; their hearts rejoice that, by his means, civil war has been averted from our isle, and they feel keenly the cause which takes him from us.' " A number of black females walked on each side of Lord and Lady Mulgrave's carriage, with palms and flowers in their hands. " The Somersetshire, which arrived on the even ing of the 13th, had on board the Marquis of Sligo's horses, &e." Lord MUL GRA VE has arrived in this country. In another part of The Sun will be found a petition from certain inhabitants of Fleet -street to the Courts of Aldermen and Common Coun cil praying for the removal of Temple -bar. The petition deserves attention, for it certainly makes out a strong case. The tender regard of the Church for her Dissenting brethren was never better exemplified than at the present moment. "Of the fruit of the tree of knowledge thou shalt not eat," says Oxford to the Dissenter, " for on the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt cease to be a Dis senter." " Eat of it thou mayest," says Cam bridge, " but profit by it thou shalt not with my assistance." " Into our universities thou shalt not enter," says the Churchmen, " and uni versities of thine own thou shalt have none." How strange it is, that a Church so just and mild in its conduct, should have enemies among those to whom it is only known by the modesty of its demeanour, the softness of its language, and the kindness of its acts. Were it as haughty, as insolent, and as intolerant as the old lady in scarlet, it could not have more numerous or more inveterate enemies. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. New York Papers, one day later, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, by the Lon don line packet-ship Sovereign, Captain Griswald. ' 6 GIRARD BANK, MARCH 17.—Whereas the removal of the deposits from the Bank of the United States is a violation of the chartered rights of that institution, and has brought embarrassment and distress over the whole of the county which, before that act, was in the enjoyment of unexampled prosperity ; resolved, therefore, that the directors of the Girard Bank are instructed to restore, to the proper authority, the money and deposits of the United States in their possession, as soon as the same can be ef . fected." By the Intrinsic, arrived at Liverpool, Demerara papers have been received to the Bth ult. At that period all was tranquil in the colony. A Leeward Island Mail has arrived : sailed from St. Thomas's 20th March. We do not hear it brings any news of importance. We have several arrivals from the East Indies, but of old dates. The Flanders, Dutch, and French mails arrived this morning : their contents are in general anticipated in the morning journals. The Express from Paris respecting the accounts from Spain is of some interest, confirming the entrance of the Spanish troops into Portugal, with the escape of Don Carlos from the clutches of General Rodil. It also brings a confirmation of M. Burgos having at length re tired from the Spanish Ministry, as well as an improve ment in the French and Spanish Funds :—French, 78f. 35c. ; Spanish, 28%. Up to the present hour we do not hear of any arrivals from Lisbon, which are anxiously looked for. THE FUNDS.

Mr. HUAIE held four petitions in his hand on th e subject of the Dorchester convicts, praying fort h e mitigation of the too severe sentence passed on th? st) 'unhappy men. The petitions come from Newcastle' upon-Tyne, Dundee, Lochloch, and Belfast. The the; f Alliance pressions of the petitioners were very strong; contended that the legitimate privilege of protecting tn, sc , t i only property, labour, should not be limited or puni s " by the law ; especially when the convicts, now under n't mshment, were ignorant of the rigour of the law on tli te particular subject—and their ignorance, arising from tit heavy taxes on knowledge, by which they v; e , r prevented from purchasing the acts of Parliament', The hon. member (Mr. Hume) coincided with the on l of the Combination Act in the year-824, it was tents of the petition, and considered that since the repe n a . ! very an i c i i a just to inflict so heavy a punishment on those nie, n n r db wa s w punishment that defeated the object of the la, wi e e for y always to promote order rather than take veng -anc re crime.

Mr. WARBURTON presented a pe tition from the I habitants of a place in the county of Dorset, to the sat e effect. He understood that the learned judge by wilt these unfortunate men were triedhad expressed a doub t as ,-- whether or not the law applied to their case. That had been denied by the right hon. the First Lord of the A d l ni ralty, who stated that the judge had no doubt as to t he 'fl aw but as to the quantity of punishment to be inflicted- "" e eth (Mr. W.) understood that the former statement was more correct one. ick , Mr. AGLIONBY presented petitions from Kesr te ci signed by 370 inhabitants, and from C o ckermouth , 5 t 42 4 the by four hundred of the operatives of that borough, u same effect. rad" ' Colonel EVANS regretted the conduct o f the t but unions in marching in procession on Monday c of the doubted right to look for higher On that occasion.
