SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The only topics of interest in the Flanders Papers of Saturday, which strived last night, are the extra ordinary impression cleated in tho insurgent die. tricts by the King's speech to the States-General on the 13th inst., the precipitate measures of re sentment adopted by them, in consequence of the manner in which their conduct is described or al luded to, and the lit mer attitude of renewed loyalty exhibited by the provinces and towns which Nape hitherto resisted the contagion of disaffection. No thing could be more temperate or foth , ating than the language of the Royal address, and nothitig could be more considerate anti constitutional than mittee of Public Safety justly object to the use of the word '"tumult " as tipped ' to the first move ment in their city, when they themselves pleaded , that tumult us the ' original justification of their present armed attitude? For the first week of their present insurrection . (that is, from the 26th of August to the 4th of September), 14e citizens of Brussels, of Liege, and of other towns which followed their example, kept within the Woods ~ of lege', order e —loosely interpreted. They armed themselees ostensibly to protect public and privete property, they drove out the King's troops on pte- Itiat of preventing that amino of blood which must have ensued fromAti,upprehentled collision between the military ssed • the 'Aver ordersr . --they assutned the eoiotire of their province, though hostile to the linion of the kingdom, in order (as they alleged) to put dowoforeign colours hostile to the dyin t sty,...- they appointed a provisional Government, which, , . • by delegation, treated with the son of their King, and eent deputations to the King himself; but all this Was done under the show of respect for .the laws,—love of order e -=loyalty to the Monarch; and the Government, unwilling to shed blood, seemed afraid to tear off the mask, lest, under it, they should disprove the features of au armed rebellion, which their honour and'iltity would compel them to combat, at any expence of life, or hazard of national • tranquillity. The KinO, by thus shutting his eyes to facts, end trusting to professions,---by treating with armed insurgents, under the guise of respectful petitioners,—by giving safe conduct to their envoys, by permitting arms to be transported for their Use from one part of the kingdom to another,---and, finally, by agreeing to their detnands as far as lay in the power of the executive, has so far sanctioned their past proceedings. Whether he acted from the impulse of fear, or the feeling of weakness,— . -Whetber his conduct was dictated by policy or humanity—by prudence or generosity, he :.bus thus precluded hint self from declaring the late proceedings rebellious 'or punishing thei r aut h ors as re b e l s . I n adopting this humane course, the King has, no &Ott, shown a wisdom equal to his clemency ; but this equive cal character of the Provisional Government yid armed organization of the insurgent' towei must soon cease. His Majesty has called together the States-General to decide on their demands. Havlng thus done all that he could do, he has acqeired a right not only to their obedience but to their grail vide, till their denntedi are rejected. , It was fior in his power to alter the fundamoutul law so as to suit their views, .without violating his own Mithse-- s without a bretteh ef.his eoropact with his peotile, and of his treaties with•hieallies,—withour, to feet, like Charles X., forfeiting his title to the crown which lie has hitherto worn . with so much berme to himself and advantage to his subjects. Having submitted the question fairly and without reserve to the judgment of the Slates-Generat,the only com petent nuthority,—promising his concerrence in tiny measure .WIWI they may recommend, he has iies ()Hired a double right to the renewed confidence end , obedience of the disaffected,while the negative vote " ' Of the legialative • Chainbers, (should their vote be. negative) will justify hiM in the eyes of the World- for excrcisiug summary :severities against those who may still contest his . authority, united. with that of Abe Legislature. : They will find it . ' impossible any: longer to ' appear in the double character of loyal petitioners and armed insurgents —of defenders of the dynasty anti enemies of the fundamental lavitof citizens pretending respect for the - kines• rights; and barriceding their streets against the K i ng's trOops,--protoding their regard for' the House of Grunge, and substitu ting tut illegal flag fer'their Grange colours I . It is extremely pro treble that the States-General now ussetalettat the Hague may take some step to u'ealore order and to ,prevent the: spread of insurrection previous to the , :consideration of the momentous question now silb ' .mitted to them for separating the two divisions, of • the kingdom. •The latter process must neceissarily be, long. Though unhappily the majority of the pressnt deputies should vote in &veer of a separa tion,.the matter would not thus be settled. .fly the 220th article. of the fundamentul laW,' the project paseed in the States-General would hove to be sub mitted to the provincial Matas, who ttroreqeired to send an additiottal number of member*, erputl to those already in theeChernher ! tied chosen . in the same manner.

Now Nl dinand not having recogni;ed the French daveria • scent, must be effected with a worse fatuity thitn that of Charles X. himself, to imagine that he (Fer dinand) had any shadow of right to remonstrate or even communicate with a Sovereign whose exiat enee he has refused to acknowledge. There Is, , on the contrary, no semblance of compact ex pressed or implied between two parties, one iof which has virtually excluded the other from the pale of legitimate communities, so that France is at roll liberty, should such "be her pleasure, to deny that Ferdinand is lawful King of Spain, and to yield her suffrage to any other , candidate for the throne of that much injured and degraded realtn. Again, they would assure us with equal gravity and modesty, that of all the Spaniards who have flockW to their country, from Flanders, France, Griot Britain, and Germany, there have been only 200 its• sembleil among the Pyrenees ! which Pyrenees, tie it recollected, form a mountain range (allowing for sinuositie) of at least 400 miles : that the sevei•al chiefs are disputieg with each other touching plans of military operation,—that Mina (God save the mark !) will not join the enterprise until success is in fallible, he, Mina, being at Bordeaux, while social other Generals are at Bayonne, St. Jean Pied de Port, &e.;—that the patriots are too attach a larmed to invade the Peninsula very shortly ;H and that Ferdinand, on his side, has plucked up, so Much courage from beholding the weakness arid timidity of the liberals, as to have prevailed on the Archbishop of Toledo and the Monks to furnish him with an army of 60,000 men, that lie may valetiroutly giye battle to the above 200 refugees and their huff intimidated Captains. So contemptuous are his Majesty and his Camarillo, moreover, tots liras these 200 miscreants, that they have,, as we are. Wormed on the same high authority, reinforced the garrison 'of Pampelutia with 1,200 men, sent precautionary orders to every Captain-General throughout the kingdom, and done divers other acts, proving beyond all question the truth of the statement transmitted from M. sea Bermudez to a contemporary,--to that a Government far weaker than that of Ferdi nand would " despise," aye, despise! the projeOts of the constitutional Spaniards. We shall just acid a few words by way of hint to the propagators of these absurdities, admitting that our brethren of the English press are very fur from being chargeable with the invention of them, and that they are only duped by knaves who resort to their columns.;— lst. It was alleged by , the Apostolicals, ,on the 12th instant, at Paris, through the medium the Journal du Commerce, that the orders from the French Government to prevent the further assembling of Spanish patriots in the Pyreeees bad been despatched by telegraph on the day before,—viz. the 11th. It is now asserted by the same accurate historians, that the order (so desputched on the 11th) had reached the Pyrenees on Me .sth. This beats the Manchester steam-couch hollow ! 2d. It is said that the Spuniards collected to enter Spain amounted to only 200 individuals, and that they bad not ventured to mike an attack on Spain I We verily believe it. We arc thoroughly satisfied that no attack tor Spain, by a mere numerical force from without, war ever dreamed of by any Spaniard in his right senses, as the proper instrument for effecting the liberation of his country. But, have the Gazettes in the pay ; of Ferdinand counted the Spaniards prepared 'us well for. military as political action within the boundary of Spain itself; or the names and numbers of the distinguished statesmen and soldiers, who, in defiance of the Camarillo, have crossed the Pyrenees,and arenow helping to organize that resist less national force, before which the Giivernment, while we write, stands confuted and paralyzed ? We have said long since that;the train is ready ; for the hour or day in which the match was to be ap plied, we held that it was not of so much cense quence as thUt . the' thing should be securely dove. Whether Ferdinand yields to force or terror, yield he does ; and the Monks and Carterville will no longer be slifistitutes for a Cortes. Let us repeat : it is in the heart of Spain—in towns and provinces from Hord, to south--thdt the movement towards a Constitution works straight onwards. The Pyre nees are but a gate through which the exiles rejoin their countrymen every hour. The organization is no less political and moral then warlike. God for bid, for the completeness and stability of the good cause, that it were otherwise . ! However, even the eret itures 'of Ferdinand announce to us that his Ma jesty will be sure " to yield when he sees force and reason united against him." We firmly believe in the veracity of that,riaice prediction, and congratu late' the politic Monarch on the certainty of having it speedily and abundantly fulfilled,--4 mss. We alluded on Saturday to the probability of the plans of the Cabinet- having been deranged by the death of Mr. Huskissoa. It seems to be admitted by those who are most attached to the Duke of Welliegtnn,that without materiel change in his Ste, he will not be able to conduct the business of the country in Perliument to a successful issue, I n a pamphlet just published, under the title of " Go verment without Whigs" (in which, bp the bye, an avaricious selfislmess is tiscribed to Mr. Brougham, that forms, we conscientiously believe, no part of his character), the defectivenes s of the Administra 'tion as at present constituted is admitted. " It is no doubt ( , ass the writer) highly desirable that among the members of the Adminietration, should •he found men capable of enforcing in d e b a t e w h at lima` been planned in Council, of sustaining their own measures 'against the attacks of sophistry, and de. monstratiog, to ,the satistiction both of Parli intent and the wountry, the faltiCY "of those arklimeton by 'which their conduct is assailed, and the inexpediency Of those Measures which are brought forward for the pur pose:of thwarting' their .Administration ; but it is by no Means necessary, nor indeed do we consider ,it desirable, that a Ministry should be arined with such powers of liar- Caltn as that of Mr. Broughatn, for the purpose of scaring un honest, thought nervous opponent; nor with the flowery eloquence of Lord Malaria, with *bleb to deekout a fan. riful but unfounded theory ;. noryet whit-the stately style and sounding sentences of Lord Grey, for the purpose of giving a false appearance of dignity tosentiments which 4e in themselves trite, common place, and ignoble. We would gladly see a Ministry.such as the present invested with the popular appenflase of showy declaination ; it would certainly facilitate the progress of measures for which, however, their own intrinsic, merit must eventually make way ; it would uuniusttd.the adtriiration of those whojudge with out they u s a b le of thought ; and, above all, it would pre scot the woe of tints! so moots complained of during the last Session, by enabling them at once to silence those who were encouraged by the absence of superior speakers, to iinpose their own thread-bare orations on the House of 'Commons ; and to crush those unworthy assailants who only hole,ed the stag whet, they are sure` that he will not turn to bay." This is pretty well from a friend. But the truth is, the Ministry last South)&were not only without ellichiet debaters, but witlint men acquainted with tilh,busiliebs of their departinenta; and the famous Sugar achesno of the Chancellor' of the Exchequer was of itself enough to damn eny Administration. Measures ought to be thoroughly examined in all their bearings before -being eubmitted to the Legis latute. The.author of the paMphlet above alluded thinks h e , has a salve for • the Administratioo, in the exclamation that, " Mat! the age of eloquence, like that of chivalry is gone; there is but one man itr:the House of Commons who is really an orator." But surely, if the' only one orator in the [loose a Commons, there is more than one man of business. The Ministry were' as lame in business talent as. in oratory. Plat the Duke of Wellington should be advereo:;to an union with the Whigs we can easily coercive, for he wishes trOie the head of the AdMimstration, and not a mere share bider in the firm powerfully connected. But there was not the same objection -to an union with Mr. Iluskissoe and his friends; and it has always struck us that his Gram, in allowing private pique to stand in the way of such an union, displayed a want of political discernment. The Government without Whigo" was printed before the knowledge of the melancholy end of Mr. Huskisson and, as we'be. lieve this pamphlet to be really and truly a sort of Ministerial Manifesto, it may not be amiss to view While we regret the fate of Mr. Huskisson, we cannot but inquire how it happened that the steam carriage which caused the dreadful accident was not stopped before it bad conic in contact with the un fortunate gentleman ? In all the accounts which we have seen a great deal is said about the alarm created in the mind of Mr. Huskisson, and of the persons in whose company he was, at the sight of " the Rocket" coming on with portentous velocity, while they were standing on the railway, near the carriage of the Duke of Wellington. We are told of the various ways in which the persons who were so circumstanced endeavoured to escape front the threatened danger, some of them getting into the carriage, some scrambling round it, and others clinging to the frame-work, but all leaving the un s happy Mr. Huskisson to his fate, although an in vx id, who bud lately risen from a bed of sickness, and could not he supposed to possess either the vigour of Mr. Holmes or the activity of Mr. Cal craft to enable him to escape the approaching ruin. While this was going on, and while among those admirer's of mechanical enterprise, suave quo veut was the principle of moti on , why lid not the person in command of the Rocket put an end to their apprehensions and to the danger at once, by instantly stopping the machine ? Could he do it, or could he not ? The writers who describe the engines praise them no less for their power than their manageable nest. One of our correspondents said they were as easily managed as ponies, and he could hardly be lieve but they were endued with animal life. An other said they more deserved the name of creatures than of machines—meening thereby, we presume, that their action seemed rather, the effect of volition than of any mechanical arrangement. Why, thee, was not this manageable , quality displayed under circumstances so well calculated to call it forth,— What would be said of a coachman who, on seeing the alarm that the swiftness of his hOrses caused to a group of persons so circumstanced as Mr. Huskis son and his friends were, did not atop them before one of the party was crushed under his wheels ? We observe that the finding of the Coroners Jury does not attribute blame to any person, and we are willing to believe that the engineer did all that lay in his power; but it makes us have no very high idea of the controul , under which these steam carriages are which we were told were as manageable as ponies ! The living creatures that draw carriages, not being machines, sometimes run away, and become more fu rious by the attempt to restrain them; but 'team, carriages, if once the principle of immediate con troul over their action be obtained, are always,' of course, capable of being instantly stopped. Now as it was some time, according to all the published statements of this tnelaticholy affair, before any miss chief was done, that Mr. Huskisson and his friends saw-the Rocket approach, and exhibited by their actions the sense of•great peril, why, if it were only to prevent confusion and ,quiet their apprehensions, did not the Rocket, we again ask, immediately stop This wants explanation, and , that expiate'. don was not given Oil the Coroner's inquest, where it eppeurs, only one witness, and he a Nobleman, was examined.. There were,, we apprehend, many plain mechanics who could have given a better ex planation of the matter than the Earl of Wilton; but we suppose the Coroner considered aristocratic evidence of so much more , value than plebeian testimony, that, in a case in which ten Or twelve cotitmoners would have - been examined, their, information was rendered unnecessary by the statement of a wholly Lord. But it may turn nut that all the published accounts of the accident and the report of the inquest are incorrect, and, instead of Mr. Haeltisson having seen the Rocket, and the conductor of the Rocket having seen him some time before the fatality, it may have been that the whole thing happened without any previous time for preparation, in which case, indeed, no blame could rest either on the conductor, or the machine which he was rip pointed to guide or control, There is another point on which we must be excused in, making an obser vation, and that is on the conduct of the Directors, .who insisted upon proceeding with their "triumphal procession" while the unfortunate gentleman who had just received his death-wound, was carr i e d bleeding end mutilated from , the scene of their "glory." On this occasion the refusal of the noise of Wellington to proceed in the first instance, did him credit. It was a matter of decency and goad tote, if not of humane consideration for the feelings of those most interested in the fate of the distin gui•hed sufferer, that the pageant sh ou ld h ave cloied at the moment, and on the sprit, where the irreparable calamity had occurred. We o n ly reg r et that the Duke did not adhere to his first deter mination, ands persist in refusing to sanction the indecorum of further'perade, instead of allowing. hinistelf persuaded out of his humene and proper intention; nd consenting lobe dragged along —the rimming Chief of a melatieholt triumph— the leading 'attraction of a "spiry" goesse e w ith funeral gloom. The Duke, however, In is great measure, repaired this error by net returning to Liverpool to the "grand dinner," and th e e allowing the'Directers to have that "enjoyment" to them selves, along with such guests us had' the Unenviable stoicism of being able to indulge at the festive beard, while the keel! of Mr. Huskissen might lie said to be sounding in their ears. It seemS the Duke was told by Some of the. Directors that the people would be diseppointed if the procession did not move on after the accident. We trust the-people of Megpiahester, or any other p ar t of England, h a ve not fillit'an inhuman indifference to del:amity as to prefer Rho*, and ,parade, end ostentation:, after such a mournful event, to'the decent sorrow,- and the deep sense of religious humility by which it ought to have been followed.

A similar accident occurred at an hospital in Montpellier. A sr4ake, measuring three' feet'two inches in. length anti three inches tindra quarter round tle body, was, on Monday last; killed hi the cellar . of Mr.-Ittcnattostsw, surgeon, of Roberbbridges«—Stteatt eitivertiatra A certificate of the second marriage having been produced, a warrant was granted, and on Satin day morning the party accused, who is a young man of very respectable appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. HALLS, and was formally charged with having feloniously intermarried with Elizabeth Barker, his first wife, Julia Coates, being living at the time. The prisoner gave his name as stated above. The second wife them Came forward, and with some degree of emotion stated that on the I lth of August last she was married to the prisoner by licence, at the parish church of St. Mary and Nicho las, at 'Beverley, in Yorkshire. The witness here produced a certificate to the above effect, and added that since her marriage with the prisoner she had ascertained that he had another wife living. Ledbitter, in reply to a question by the Nbigis trate, said that the first wife, he had reason to sus pect, was out of the way on purpose to avoid coming forward. Mr. HALLS observed that it was a matter of very little consequence whether she came forward or not, if her marriage with the prisoner and the fact of her being in existence could be proved in evidence. A certificate of the first marriage was then pro duced, by which it,appeared ; that in _the month of December, 1824, the prisoner was married to Julia Coates, at the parish church of St. Mary Abbotts, Kensington. The prisoner, who declined to say any thing in his defence, was then remanded to give time for the p►o ducrion of the necessary witnesses. On his removal to the lock-up room, the prisoner had an interview with his second wife, in presence of her brother and the gaoler. The meeting for the first few minutes inclined to the pathetic, until the accused spoke of having been betrayed, and Up braided the , young lady with having placed him in his present situation. This accusation called forth an angry reply; in the course of which the prisoner was charged with having a third wife living. The gaoler, however put an end to the altercation by re moving the young lady and her brother from the nom, and leaving the prisoner " to think on what had passed, anditgh alone." the proposal which it contained. Dis Majesty de scribed the first movement or rising at Brussels on the 25th and 26th of August, us a tumult, or riot, accompanied with pillage and conflagration, which no regular Government could permit ; and did not the present armed reformers of the fundamental who now resist his authority, use the same language ? What was the pretext on which they at first tolled for arms ? what was the alleged reason of their organization into a civic guard, but to subdue disorder and protect property ? Did they not oe this account claim the coufidence of their fellow. citizens, and receive the thanks of the general Go- VelliMellt through the Crown Prince ? The policy of demanding the redress of their own grievances, or constituting themselves into guardians of the na 'tional rights, was not thought olio the first instanee, otherwise their rising must have been taken for it conspiracy with the mob whom they pretended to quell, and, instead of being tlie restorers of public order, they were themselves the original disturbers. When they had procured arms—when they had re lieved the King's garrison from the duty of protect ing the peace of the cupital,—when they had disci plined their troika and counted their numbers, they .then thought of entering into treaty with the Go . vernnient, and of stipulating for the restoration of tranquillity in exchange for the redress of their wrongs. They had plitioned without arms for years, and they allege that their petitions wtre disregarded ; they now tell us that they petition with arms—arms which they had got by occident, but which they refuse to lay down till satisfaction is ob tained. How, therefore, can the Brussels Coin- the manner in which Mr. Huskisson is mentioned, as a sort of key to the sentiments of the Ministry regarding him. "No two parties can be more widely separated than the Ultra-Tories and the Whigs; and though Mr. Huskisson effects to be seized with a new inclination to the party of Lord Grey, who, by the bye, was the bitterest enemy his friend Mr. Canning ever had, that gentleman and his party are alike separated from both extremities by barriers which the Tories will not, and the Whigs cannot overleap. The present Ministry alone stand in a position to which each party can add strength without a sacrifice of cha racter. Tory and Whig alike, have only to moderate their views, to conform to the party in power; they must change them altogether, in order to amalgamate with one another." This is as much as saying Mr. Huskisson and his friends would find their acount better in joining the Duke than, in joining either Whigs or Ultra-Tories; and it is supposed by those who attend to the signs iof the times, that the death ,of Mr. Huskisson will tend to accelerate the uniop of his party with the Administration. The difference between Mr. Ms kisson and the Duke of Wellington was personal rather than political; and the loss which the small band have sustained in their leader, the value of which they would still prove to his Lace, and the absence of ell personal grotin4 of objection to them will, we suspect, lead to a speedy agreement. A correspondent, who has access to good information on these points, shares these views :—" The melan choly deudi of Mr. Huskisson," he writes, " may remove many personal objections, Arising out of pride, irritation, and rivalry, existing between him self and the Duke of- Wellington, to the junction; of his party with the present Cabinet. It is probable that the death of their leader may affect that party towards the Duke of Wellington, and himself to wards them. After a decent interval we . shall probably see this union of strength effected. Hew far the pledges of their intermediate votes (since Mr. Huskisson was cashiered) may render such a junc tion difficult, or dissolve it when made, time only can reveal; but undoubtedly the loss,of the personal and moral influence of Mr. Huskisson, whether a coalition is or may not be effected, in all tplestitins of trade and commerce, is irreparable."—Morni'ng Chronicle. takes possession of the mind every thing else must give way. This was the idol that was worshipped, and in whose train the Duke of .

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW STREET. On Friday night application was made to Mr MINSIJULL for a warrant against a commercial tra veller, named Christopher Thomas Johnson, who was charged with bigamy. Ledbitter, the officer who applied for the warrant, brought forward two females, and stated that they were the wives of the accused. One of them is a plain•looking woman, at leait 40 years of age, and the other, who is rather pretty, and did not appear to be more•than kO, was dressed in part of the finery which she had worn on the day of her marriage, which took place about six weeks ago. The ladies upon coming, for the first time, In close contact, eyed each other with looks of anger and contempt, and the younger of the two, who proved to be the last wife, observed with an indignant toss of her head, that her rival was " old enough to be the mother of poor Mr. Johnson, who was scarcely three and twenty." This bitter sarcasm was instantly repelled by the wife 'de facto, who cuttingly observed that a young miss who could fall in love with a man and marry him after a week's acquaintance ought to be deceived, and was undeserving of pity. " 'Tis false, Madam," exclaimed the second wife, " Mr. Johnson kept company with me for ten days before we were married.' This dialogue, which was ca rr i e d on i n an un d er tone while the Magistrate was looking over some documents connected with the charge, would most probably have risen to a much higher k , y but for the interference of Ledbitter, who prudently stepped between the parties and endeavoured by soothing words to voften their resentment. Upon reading the certificate of the first marriage, Mr. MiNstuum having desired the second wife to step forward, asked her if she were ready to prove her marriage with the accused ?—The young lady hesitated, and after a short pause, observed, that although it was not 'a pleasant thing to be deceived, she had no wish to hurt the young man. She, how ever, could never think o f li v i ng w i t h hi m aga i n. "No," exclaimed the first wife, " take care you shan't, Miss !" The brother of the younger fethalo here came for ward, and said his sister was prepared to give the necessary proof of h er marriage with the accused. It was, he observed, an unfortunate business for his sister, who had married a man of whom she knew nothing, without the knowledge or consent of her family and friends. IJAWON-GARDEN. Mary Ann Grths, alias Stevens, one of the principal witnesses against Smith, who was tried for the murder of Long, the policeman, was brought before the' Magistrate by inspector List, who said, that at an early hour in the morning she was found in Eagle-street, Red 'Lien-square, in a state of intoxi cation. She sa►d that it was her intention to return to her friends at Swansea, and lied written to them to meet her. in a few days. She said she could not re main in London, for she was in danger of her life, in consequence of having. given evidence against Smith. When ~ she left the Court on Friday, she was fol lowed by some of Smith's friends, and one of them, who was attired in the dress of a baker, attempted to cut her throat with a knife. Some persons came to her assistance, and the man escaped. Mr. LAING said, be bad mentioned her case ! to several of the Magistrates, and they had expressed their readiness to assist her. He recommended that she should be sent to the House of Correc don wail something could be done for her.
