LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1833, The accounts from Spain in the Paris Papers of Monday, which arrived this morning, are very favourable to the QUEEN REGENT. A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne announces the entry of SAARSFIELD into Vittoria on the 19th instant, but the details are not communi cated. The rebel authorities of Bilboa also appear, by the precautions which they are tak ing, to be apprehensive of the speedy arrival of the QUEEN'S troops. It is stated, however, that there are bands of rebels in nearly all the provinces. EL PASTOR entered Irun on the '2oth inst., and immediately recalled the authorities who had been expelled by the rebels. It appears from a paragraph in one of the Paris Papers that the French force on the Spanish frontier consists of 5,000 men, and four batteries of artillery. The French funds had risen.

No cause can be sa't' to be lost whilst the principles of patriotism remain fixed in the bosoms of its partisans, and every attempt to uphold it, although apparently useless at the time, may prove a step towards the silent but gradual accomplishment of its triumph. With this view we now give a synop sis of an article in the last number of Le Polonais, a monthly work published in Paris by Count 'PLATER, one of the most distin guished of the Polish patriots. The English public, accustomed to religious toleration them selves, and to admire it in others, will, in this condensed view of the persecuting spirit of the Emperor NICHOLAs, perceive the determination which he entertains to root out not only the political freedom of the Poles, but even the religion of their ancestors. 1. The suppression of the churches of Piles sjow, in Volhynia, of the Calmadules at Pezaysc, in Lithuania, of the church of the Capuchins at Winnica in Podolia, of the church of Boremla, in Volhynia, of the church of the Franciscans, and several other churches at Krzemieniec, in Volhynia, and the substitution of the Greek form of wor ship in most of those places. 2. The following facts, among many others, show the spirit of violation and spoliation in the Polish churches : During the war of independence, the peasants, who had taken refuge in the church of Oztniana, in Lithuania, and the priests at the altar, were massacred beneath the roof of that sacred building by Russian soldiers. At the forced evacuation of the convent of Capuchins, at Winnica, in Podolia, whilst the monks were pet forming their last ser vice, and a preacher was exhorting the congregation to moderation and resignation, the convent was entered by the Russians, who, with naked swords, fell upon the people, dragged out the preacher, destroyed the pulpit, and introduced Greek priests. The convent of the Daminicans at Kraanobord was sacked on the 2d of June, 1831, and its prior, la ho was 70 years of age, put to death by the most horrible torture. 3. The Bishop of Worniakowski, of Lublin, impri soned, and dragro d from dungeon to dungeon, for an en tire year. The Bisbo )of Wilna exiled to Siberia. Twelve priests, of Luck, in Volhynia, imprisoned and degraded from their office, for administering the sacrament to Polish prisoners, who were mortally wounded. All the monks of the Convent of Pocz +jou compelled to serve as private soldiers in the Russian army. The Abbe Szer scinski, a man of 60, and the Priest Dydkowski, con demned to the most rigorous punishment ;—the sentence of the former commuted, however, by the Emperor, in a decree, containing these words—" The accused, in consi deration of his great age, shall lose his nobility and his fortune, and be sent to Siberia, where he shall serve as a private soldier for the remainder of his days." 4. All private places of worship prohibited by ukase; parents forbidden to educate their children by tutors not previously examined and approved by the Russo-Greek University of Charkow ; the children of Polish parents, one of whom should be of the Greek religion, to be brought up in the Greek faith ; all the Catholic semi naries, except that of Wilna, the ruler of which is a creature of the Russian Government, suppressed ; no Catholic priest allowed to deliver a sermon not previously approved of by the Censors ; the Prince Sanku zko, the pride and honour of his country, after having been condemned to pass his days in the mines of Siberia, to which he was compelled to go on foot, with his head shaved, and attached to a file of criminals, denied the consolation of a priest of his own religion before his de parture, with the observation that, being a serf of the Emperor, he could no longer profess any other religion than that of his master; several thousand children torn from their parents' arms, and forcibly educated in the Roman Catholic religion ; 500 of the 1 3 ) , lish prisoners of war, who had been sent to work in the dock yards at Cionstadt, after having been forced by the authorities of Prussia to return to Poland on the assurance of an am nesty, flogged daily, for several days, for refusing to work on Sundays. These are a few only of the persecutions of the Autocrat of the Russias—of that humane and benevolent Monarch, who caused Lord PAL MERSTON to be informed that the British Go. vernment should be astonished at his clemency and magnanimity. Behold the proof ! We have received Hamburg Papers to the 19th, and Frankfort Papers to the 22d inst. Their contents are not important. The troops of the Pacha of EGYPT arc stated to have com pletely routed the rebels in Candia. The dates from Constantinople are to the 25th ult., at which time the Ambassador appointed to the Court of St. Petersburgh, on a special mission, had left Constantinople with a numerous suite. An article from Vienna states that the Con gress of foreign Ministers, which is to be held at Prague in January next, will probably sit for a month, under the Presidency of Prince METTERNICH. The New York Gazette of the 4th, contains important intelligence from Jamaica. The dates are to the 13th October inclusive, which is nearly ten days later than the direct intelligence received in London from that Island. The House of Assembly met on the Bth of October. The speech of the Governor, Lord Mtn,- GRAVE, and the reply of the Assembly, are stated to be mild and conciliatory, but neither of these documents is given. The discussion on the Slave Bill was expected to be very warm, and the session generally stormy but there was not that excitement in the island which was expected. The slaves con tinued quiet. The inhabitants of Dover are, we understand, about to apply to the Duke of RICHMOND to he allowed to participate in the advantages derived by the metropolis from the recent ar rangement with the French Post-office. At pre sent a letter addressed by a resident of Dover to Paris, is first brought to London, from whence it is forwarded, there being no bag made up for Paris in Dover; and the same delay is expe rienced in the receipt of letters from Paris. As very little inconvenience, if any, would be sus tained by complying with the wishes of the inhabitants of Dover, it is to be hoped that the Duke of RICHMOND will, with his usual atten tion to the interests of the public, give orders for the transmission direct of letters from Dover to the French capital. The Dover people also complain of the high rate of postage from their town to Canterbury, a distance of only sixteen miles, for which 7d. is charged, whilst the postage to London, which is seventy-two miles, is only Bd. At Margate also there is cause of complaint against the Post-office. A letter from Margate to Broad stairs, a distance of only three or four miles, is, we are told, first sent to London. A similar want of accommodation is experienced by the inhabitants of Merstham, a village containing several highly respectable inhabitants, on the road from London to Brighton, and distant only eighteen miles from the Metropolis. If a letter is put into the Post-office at Brighton for Merstham it is conveyed to London, although the mail passes through that village, and is not delivered until the second morning. These are little details of affice hick ought to be attended to, without plaguing that Postmaster-General ; but, having directed the notice of his Grace to the existence of these little derangements of a machinery which is justly the admiration of Europe, we trust he will not hesitate to rectify them, and make the machine perfect. The following paragraph has lately been going the round of the papers : " COURTSHIP IN AMERICA.-CobbAt says' The girls are beautiful and un,ffected : perfectly frank, and, at the same time perfectly modest ; but, when you make them an offer of your hand, be prepared to give it—for wait they will not. In England we frequently hear of courtship of a quarter of a century ; in that anti-Malthusbin country, a quarter of a year is considered rather lengthy!'" COBBETT does say so, but CoBBETT does not see or say how lovers in England are to be put upon the happy footing they find themselves in America. Why is it that young men in the middle ranks of life in this country are slow at offering marriage ? Why is it that our young women are not forward in accepting it ? Why do the first now so often prefer the vicious indulgences of the metropolis to the pure hap piness of domestic life ? Why does the joyous youth of the latter, buoyant with hope and life, gradually subside into the haggard, peevish, and disappointed old maid ? Why do both sexes now look more to the pecuniary resources of the objects of their choice than ever they did before ? Are our girls less beautiful, less unaf fected, less frank, less modest, less fit to be happy wives than the girls of America? Are our young men insensible of their charms ? Are they less enterprising, less industrious, less fit to be the mates of such admirable women as the English undoubtedly are, than the Americans ? Are not the men and women of both countries descendants of a common stock ? Can you answer these queries, Mr. COBBETT ? Can you tell us the cause of the comparison between the situation of young people in America and Eng land being so much to the disadvantage of the latter ? When you were a young man, that is, a marrying man, the causes which make court ships " lengthy"now a days, were not so much felt; but prudential considerations, you tell us, made you delay your marriage for some years. In case, however, you should think there was any thing peculiar in your own case, ask all the young unmarried men of your acquaintance why they do not take a partner. We will venture to say, that the answers of nine out of ten will re solve themselves into a complaint that they " cannot afford to have a wife." Such an an swer to such a question is unknown in America ; but why ? There, every man who chooses to use his hands can obtain a superfluity of wholesome food. That is not the case in England, and " cannot afford to keep a wife," signifies that the means of a comfortable or respectable live lihood are precarious, that profitable employ ment for willing hands is difficult to be found, that there are many competitors for it,—in short, that " the field of production" is not extensive enough to take up the labour which has accumulated in the market. Mr. COBBETT'S grand recipes forour evils, if we mistake not, are reduction of expenditure, and what he calls au equitable adjustment. The first is a good thing, but it has a limit : the second would be a rob bery, barely disguised under its hypocritical name. We will suppose, however, the whole of the National Debt to be spunged off, and our taxes reduced by the whole amount of the interest, what would be the consequence ? All those who now live upon the interest of the money they have saved would have to starve, and those who borrowed it of them would be relieved from the charge of supporting them ; but this does not diminish the bulk of suffering existing in the country. Supposing that no shock was given to credit by an " equitable ad. justment," which there inevitably would be, the act would only be easing one class to burden another. And the ease would not last long, for many of the taxes would find their way into the pockets of the owners of land and houses. Where taxes were taken off which relieved in dustry, the people would be benefitted by an extension of employment in that line of indus try; but this benefit would at best be limited in amount, and would not be felt at all in th e shock which property would receive from such a step as robbing the fundholders by means of an " equitable adjustment." The question is whether we have not the means in our power of giving the future as well as the present genera tion boundless employment, and therefore th e means of almost boundless happiness. We have capital, we have labour, all we want is a field in which to employ them. The surface of our cultivatable soil we are not able to extend, but our manufactures admit of an extension which would absorb every idle hand from the land's end to John O'Groats. We are ready to manu facture, foreign countries are ready to send us food, but Mr. COIBETT and his friends come forward to forbid the exchange which both parties desire. This is the secret of the " lengthy" courtships of this country. This is the secret of the difference between the happy fate of American women, and the anxious care or pining misery of our own. G. 11 Treat hopes are entertained at Vienna of the success of the proposed navigation of the Danube by steam-boats, since, by the examination that has been made, it seems that the river presents no obstacles below Bel grade. Count Stephen Szechengi, the author of a work on Hungary, has the merit of conceiving the plan of steam-boats between Pesth and Constantinople. We have heard from various quarters that the potatoe crop this season has been very defective, and, in consequence, the price of this invaluable esculent has been extremely high compared with the price of oatmeal. Considerable purclives, at 9s, 6d. and 10i. per boll, for the Newcastle market, have lately been made here and in Brechin ; but, as the price has now fallen considerably in the ports on the Tyne, th e r e i s a prospect that it will spee dily resume its natural level in this quarter.—Montrose Review. --NEWPORT, Nov. 23.—0 n Thursday morn ing eloped the daughter of a very respectable farmer, in t hi s I s l an d, with a well known Lothario of this town, a dealer in diamonds. On approachin g t h e town, the fair fugitive alighted from the gig of her ad m i rer i n order to walk through to avoid all suspicion, but it so h appened that a relative of the young lady, a knight of th e c l eaver , whose employment calls him up somewhat early in th* morning, chose tie very read for his r am bl e which she had taken. On discovering the mistake, she made what is termed by sportsmen, " a double," which excited the sporting propensity of the worthy knight, who ~ imme diate) y gave " Yoik,—stole away. No further chase was made, and, we understand, the happy pair made for Stoke, near Gosport. where Hymen's chains were firmly riTetted. 4' 2f 12!4 28% 10 SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY FROM LLOYD'S.

Montreal papers to the 3d November, and Quebec papers to the same date, have been received at the North and south American Coffeehouse. (From the Montreal Papers.) The following is an extract of a despatch from Mr. Stanley to the Administratio❑ in Nova Scotia :—. " Downing-street, June 28. " Sir,—Since I received the Seals of this Department, a letter dated the 6th March, from Sydney, Cape Blew., addressed to my predecessor, by Mr Charles Ward and the other Gentlemen appointed by a Committee, has been put into my hands, with the petition to his Majesty from the Island of Cape Breton, which is enclosed, praying the restoration of the Constitution granted to the Settle ment by his Majesty King George the Third. " I have laid before the King the petition which has been sent home, and have received his Illajesty's commands to intimate that, with every desire to ply the earliest attention to the reasonable re presentation of any portion of his subjects, the question is considered to be of far too grave a charact-r to he dealt with otherwise than in the most formal manner. It would he proper, therefore, that the petitioners should he informed that, with a view to bring forward the claim which they have advanced into the most aff-ctual and cor rect mode, their petition should be drawn up, and addressed to his Majesty in Council, and that they should be ap. prised that the case will be heard by Council. ~ G. STANLEY. " To the Governor of Nova Scotia." Admiral Sir George Cockburn, Lady, and family, were to embark at Halifax on the 17th, for Bermuda. (From the Quebec Papers.) Matters of deep interest, affecting the trade of the Canadas, are 1 ikely to engage the attention of the Committee of Trade. The high tariff of the Court of the Vice• Admiralty has been recommended to their particular attention ; also the correspondence to be conducted with Mr. Bliss, their commercial agent in London. Sixty-six square-rigged vessels were in the port of De merara on the 18th September, waiting for cargoes. THE FUNDS.

HALF-PAST ONE. We have a report of an expre•s from Falmouth, stating that the Mexican packet was off that port, bringing fa vourable information from that quarter ; also that two millions of dollars may be expected. This has caused Mex'can Stock to improve about two or three per cent. We surmise that there is some arrival there from Portugal, as Portuguese Stock is lower. All the private letters from Paris confirm the entrance of Saarsfield into Vittoria, but his succes has not im proved the Spanish Stock, it being conjectured that the Queen's party will now be strong, and will not require any foreign assistance, and that Zea will be firm in big situation. Consols may be quoted at 88i buyers for January Ac count, and 888 sellers for Money.

By the letters from Hamburg the price of gold is 434 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 94 ; and the exchange at H =burg on London. at short, being 13 St it follows that gold is 12-32 per cent. dearer at Hamburg than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 134 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 1041. per ounce for standard gold gives an exchange of 25 49 ; and the exchange at Paris on London, at short, being 25 324, it follows that gold is 16 25 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAM.) HOCKLZY BANTOCK. In this case, a Question of great importance and nicety presented itself, relative to the practice of the Court. The petition was presented for the purpose of having it referred back to the Master to review his taxation of the bills of costs which had been paid by the plaintiff in the case, in order that what might appear to have been over paid to the gentleman who had acted as his solicitor in the institution and conduct of the suit might be refunded under the direction of the Court. It appeared that a person of the name of Pattison, being an attorney-at law, in Essex, had instituted and substantially con. ducted the suit in question, which was a bill for the administration of the testator's estate, through the agency of Messrs. Brooksbank and Farne, and having ob tained the common decree for the accounts of debts, &c., it was referred to the Master to tax all parties their costs ; and Pattison had actually received payment of the b:11 of costs, which were taxed by the Master, as if he had been duly admitted a solioitor to practice in this Court. It turned out on investigation, however, that Pattison had not filled that character, and it was now admitted that even the agents whom he had employed in town to con duct the cause had never been apprized of that circum stance. Mr. PEMBERTON appeared in support of the application, and contended, on the authority of various decisions, that Pattison, not being a regularly admitted solicitor of this Court, could not, even through the agency of persons fill ing that character, institute and conduct a suit in Chancery, or, if so, that he was to be allowed in taxation not all that he had been out of pocket, but only what he had paid to the Clerk i❑ Court oti behalf of his client. Mr. BETHELL appeared on the other side, and contended that, under the language of the statutes 25 and 34 of George 111., it was competent for• Pattison, being an at torney at law, through the medium of regularly adin.tted solicitors as his agents, to act in a suit as he had done in this case, and that he was therefore entitld to the ordinary costs as between solicitor and client, which had been allowed and paid to him under the Master's report. Hier HONOUR, after reading attentively the worts of the Acts to which lie had been referred, said he had no doubt whatever on the subject. It was as clear as language could make it, that an attorney could not practice in ti .e name of a solicitor, by an agent, although a solicitor could act through an agent in the name of an attorney. The attorney Pa tison did, in this case, conduct the business of his client as solicitor, while he did not fill that character, and when even the agents he employed were not aware of 0 e circumstance. He was therefore only entitled to those costs which the plaintiff was legally compellable to pay in the present state of the authorities. If lie (the Master of the Rolls) were now to make a precedent, he would be disposed to allow Mr. Pattison all the sums of money which he had been out of pocket in behalf of his client, but he was bound by the decisions ; and he could only be allowed in taxation such sums as he had paid to the clerk in Court. He should therefore direct a reference to the Master, 0) review bis taxation in that respect. Mr. Bunn and plaintiff, and soinetimea from the P alone.

Sittings at Guildhall, be•ole the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.) MAUEE V. TLIOSIPSON. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stet, d the case for the plain iff. It was an action brought by the owner of a vessel. called the Guardian, to recover 491. 15s. sd. from the defendant, who was employed as his broker, under the following circumstances :—The ship was employed in the West India trade, and the defendant, as the 'wok. r, bad to receive the freight, and hand it over to the plaintiff, but in his account there was found a deficiency of the sum that was now claimed by the plaintiff. It was intended by the defence to prove that the money now claimed was due to the defendant, as his commission upon the freight. The defendant had ob tained a freight for the ship for two voyages to the West Indies and hack in 1830, through the medium of Messrs. Alves and Steele, who were brokers. The custom of the trade would he proved to be 5 per cent, commission on an outward and 2 per cent on the homeward voyage ; and also that where two or more brokers were employed that commission was to be divided between them, unless a special a , _ireetnent was made to the contrary. These commissions had been paid to the defendant, who, however, had detained the further sum for which this action was brought. Witnesses were called to prove the statement of the Learned Counsel. Sir J. SCARLETT, for the defendant, contended that by the custom of brokers his client was entitled to the amount which be had detained, for there bad been no special contract. Several witnesses were called to depose to the practice of the trade. The case was not concluded when our reporter left. SHERIFFS' COURT, MIDDLESEX. (THIS DAY.) FREEMAN V. ?AGANINI. Mr. CHARLES PHILLIFS opened the case. The de fendant was the celebrated violinist, and the plaintiff was employed as his secretary and assistant in his negotiations with country managers, as well as in transacting his busi ness in town. He was extremely sorry that the defendant, whose services in this country had been rewarded by a sum of 30,0001., being at the rate of something like 2001. per hour, should have dragged the plaintiff into a court of justice to establish his claim to the paltry sum of 30/. I for upwards of a month's services of the highest value to the Signor. That something was owing to the plaintiff even the defendant admitted, for he had allowed judgment to go by default, and they were now met to assess the value of the services rendered by the plaintiff to the defen /haat. The Learned Gentleman then entered into a state ment of the facts of the c Ise, .as they were afterwards proved by the following witnesses : Mr. Cooke examined.—ls Director of Music at Drury Lane and Covent Garden Theatres. Retnem• hers Paganini giving four concerts in July last, at Drury Lane Theatre. Saw plaintiff occupied concerning them, being the active person managing for Paganini. It was necessary that he should be present at rehearsals, and be was so, his proficiency in the French language render ing him useful. Mr. Freeman also prepared the pro gramme of the concerts. The preparations for the concerts lasted a fortnight. Witness expects to lead at one of Paganines approaching concerts, but notwithstanding the', he should say that a guinea a day would be sufficient on ordinary occasions for plaintiff's services ; but consider ing that the defend ant was a stranger, unacquainted with the residences of the artists to be employed, &c., two guineas per day would not be unreasonable. Mr. F. eeman was perfectly competent to discharge the duty he undertook. Cross-examined—Mr. Freeman had not, to witness'', knowledge, been connected with the musical departm nt. Mr. Fteeman is a law stationer. Witness saw Mr. Freeman half a doz.n times during the fortnight above mentioned. He consulted him upon drawing up the programmes. Ooe uninterrupted day would he sufficient s t , o lf ma p ic e e rf a p orEa ro e g d, ram th m e e, p e e x r c f e o p rm ting anc w es hat w ll er l e . Paganini left to Freeman's discretion. The skeleton programme was made by Signior Paganini and Mr. Brown ; but it was filled up by Mr. Freeman. He W 45 obliged to take those who were willing to perform. They were unlike ordinary concerts, there being a number of volunteer singers. Witness was not himself aware of plaintiff doing anything but assisting at programmes. He was on the stage during rehearsals. During that fortnight, Mr. Freeman's time was occupied three hours per day, to wit ness's knowledge. Any parson acquainted with the French language would have done as well as the plaintiff. Be -examined.—It was necessary for Paganini to have some confidential person to refer to who could speak French. Mr. Charles Jones examined.—ls supervisor of cheeks at the Theatres royal. Recollects the concerts given by Paganini in July. It was his duty to deliver accounts of the concerts to Mr. Bunn and Mr. Freeman. The first account was not satisfactory, and plaintiff required, on the part of defendant, an account of every person in every part of the house, and whether they had psid or not. Tois was made out, and was satisfactory. It was neces sary that the person employed by Paganini should be a trustworthy and honourable person, of some skill. Large sums passed through his hands. Witness knew no one but Mr. Freeman in his transactions with the defendant. Cross-examined.—Mr. Freeman acted as interpret r between witness and Paganini. Mr. W.
