• k • FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 23.—The Portuguese press ma kes some complaints of M. Van de Weyer, who is given by way of Mentor to the young consort of Donna Maria, but it seems that the recriminnations do not stop at the counsellor, whom King Leopold has commissioned to attend to his nephew. They even go so far as to say that the situation of Prince Ferdinand has become so unpleasant at Lisbon, he thinks of absenting himself for some months, under the pretext of family affairs. It even appears that the word divorce has been uttered. But we must wait for the meeting of the Cortes. A. morning paper speaks of the project of establishing a Vice Royalty at Algiers ; one of the Princes of the Royal Family would reside there, with the title of Viceroy. But the journal in question takes care to inform us, that this is at present only a project, which must be maturely considered. A journal mentions some facts which seem to confirm the reports of a movement of Austrian troops towards Lower Italy. Scarcely any passports are signed from the Austrian States to the Roman dominions. French and Swiss commercial travellers, who wanted to go on business to Bologna or Ferrara, have been obliged to wait at Rosigo the pleasure of the Imperial police. Many persons suspected of liberal ideas have been arrested. The Styx arrived on the 18th at Toulon, having on board General Davremont, who had been sent to Oran, where he was to take the command, in place of General Letang. The Sphinx, which is gone to Bona, takes no troops, but only despatches. General Bernelle, who commanded the Algerine Legion in Spain, is gone on board that vessel, to put himself at the disposal of Marshal Clausel. The battalion of sharpshooters of Africa, organized at Pau, of 244 subalterns and privates, and 18 officers, set out on the 18th for Aix. At the moment of our going to press we have no letter from Bayonne, but the journals of the South confirm what we have said of the probable arrival of Espartero before Bilboa by the 18th. The Indicateur of Bordeaux says he was to come with 16,000 men.-Journal du Commerce, Nov. 23, 2d edit. SIEGE OF BILBOA. Accounts from Bayonne, of the date of the 19th inst., contain the following intelligence :-Letters from Durango of the 17th announce, that in the morning a tremendous firing was heard in the direction of Bilboa. The weather continued to be extremely boisterous. It appears by intel ligence from Hernani of the date of the 18th, that on the evening of the 17th Bilboa was attacked on four points at once. The following is, according to a letter from Zornosa, dated the 16th, the exact position of the Carlists before Bilboa the trenches arc made, ad the bat teries completed, in spite of the bad weather. The at tack will positively be commenced to-morrow. Our bat teries are placed mach nearer to the town than they were during the last siege, and are thus distributed-first bat tery, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Trovo, near the river, about 40 steps from the gate St. Augustin, four pieces ; second battery, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel * * * * to the left of the first, on a small hill 500 steps from the forts St. Augustin and Mallona, a mortar, a field-piece, and two howitzers ; third battery, commanded by Colonel Urrieta, and directed againt the forts of St. Augustin and Mallona, three pieces of artillery ; fifth battery, commanded by Cap thin Simoes, placed in front of the promenade of Campo Volante, to prevent the advance of the enemy's steam-boats in the event of their forcing the passage guarded by two other batteries (one on the heights and the other in front of the bridge of Lucana) ; sixth battery, placed on the other side of the river against the old town, and commanded by Captain Mello (Portuguese)-making a total of I 7 pieces of artillery directed against Bilboa, together with three ad ditional, placed at the entrance of the river. Another ac count states that the besieged have surrounded the town with a triple mound on the side of St. Augustin. Most or the streets have been partially pulled down, and formidable barricades erected. The garrison keeps up incessantly a murderous discharge of artillery and musketry against the besiegers. The Carlist battalions are to support the ar tillery in the attack. Major-General Goni commands the first iiivision, and Brigadier Zariategui the second. FRENCH FUNDS.-Pnats, Nov. 02.

A report from the Minister of the Finances, on the ac counts from 1828 to 1834, was referred to the Committee appointed for the revision and examination of accounts. A proposition for submitting to the Committee of Public In struction the plan of education adopted for Queen Isabella 11. having been adopted, M. Pretel de Cozar proposed that the maximum of the salaries of public functionaries should be fixed at 40,000 reals ; that one-third should be deducted from the emoluments of public functionaries en joying a salary amounting from between 25,000 and 40,000 reals ; one quarter from the emoluments of those in the receipt of between 15,000 and 25,000 reals ; and one tenth from those in the receipt of between 8,000 and 15,000 reals. _ _ The Chamber then resumed the debate on the proposi tion of the War Committee. By the terms of the article 6 the Committee proposed that the provincial deputations should be charged with the maintenance of the troops in their respective provinces, according to a convention to be previously entered into with the governor, and . that, fur that purpose, they should dispose of or der s upon the trea sury, and, also, of the amount of legal fines. The first part of the article was adopted, and likewise the 2d part, with the . amendment that a regulation shall be framed to fix the mode of action of the provincial deputation. The article 7 was then adopted, and several amendments to the propoSi tion were referred to the War Committee. These proposi tions from the War Committee were then adopted to the following effect :-Ist. The decree of the General and Extraordinary Cortes for the creation of the order of St. Ferdinand is again in vigour. The Government to be first consulted on the mode of carrying the degree into execu tion. 2d. The Minister of War shall be required to lay before the Cortes a collection of the decrees and ordinances relative to the retiring pensions and indemnities granted to military men. 3d. Tho recompenses destined for the army may be applied. to the National Militia, and to all Spa niards who may in any mode contribute to defend the cause of liberty.--Adjourned. NOVEMBER 14. The President now announcedtothe Chamber that the report of the Special Commission on the reform of the Con stitution was about to be read. M. Saiva, one of tha secretaries, then read the report, which embraces the three following propositions : " 1. .All proposals for a reform of the articles of the Constitution must be made in writing, and supported and signed by at least twenty Members. "2. Every proposal of this kind is to be read in three consecutive sessions, and supported by the author, and without any question as to whether it is to be admitted to discussion it is to pass the Committee of Reform. " 3. For the approbation of anv reform in any article or articles of the Constitution, an absolute majority of votes is deemed necessary." There was some difference of opinion amongst the mem bers of the committee regarding the last proposition of the report. On the first and second they were unanimous. With respect to the third, four members proposed that it should be as follows :—" For the approbation of any reform of the Constitution, two-thirds of the votes are requisite." The first and second propositions of the report were at once agreed to. When the third was read, Al. Vila rose and said, that as one of the committee, he was pleased to find that all the members were agreed as re garded the Ist and 2d propositions ; but that he and three others had felt themselves obliged to dissent from the majo rity on the third, because they conceived there ought to be sonic difference between an article of the Constitution and a common law, since a law can at any time be varied ; but that to change . the Constitution, it is at least necessary to follow all the rules prescribed by the Constitution itself. M. Antonio Gonsalee supported the opinion of the ma jority of the committee, and stated that in the critical cir cumstances of the nation the most important measure that its representatives could adopt would be the formation of a law or constitution , and that the will of the people had been loudly expressed in favour of this proceeding. The Honourable Deputy referred to the revolution of 1830, and stated that tile French Chamber at once passed the charter without waiting for the arrival of all the Deputies ; the necessity of establishing at once a fundamental law in Spain was equally paramount, and in the same manner ad mitted of no delay. 'The Minister of Stale (Senor Calatrava) supported the view of the majority of the committee, and maintained that the actual Cortes were.not of the nature prescribed by the constitution for its reform ; that in fact they were Consti tuent Cortes, as such were convoked, and as such had the power of framing a constitution. He therefore, not as a Minister, but as a lover of his country, called upon the Chamber to reject the opinion of the minority, which he conceived would retard the reform of the constitution, of the necessity of which there seemed to be but one opinion amongst those who were thoroughly acquainted with the wants and wishes of the country. After a few words from M. Olozaga, who also spoke in favour of the opinions of the majority, the Chamber di vided, and there appeared for the opinion of the majority 89, and against it 20. 15TH NOVEMBER. The Session of this day presented no interesting feature, and at three o'clock the tribunes and strangers' galleries were cleared, and the Chamber held a secret Session, which lasted until nearly seven o'clock. 16Til NOVEMBER. The following communication, comprising three clauses, was thus presented to the Cortes by Government :—" Ist. The Government requests that Deputies may be appointed Ministers, and obtain Government employments. 2d. That the Cortes decree the suspension of those formalities re quired by law for the arrest of delinquents, and empower Government to banish from the Peninsula, and confine in the adjacent islands (the Balearic and the Canary islands) such persons as may endanger public tranquillity, and the security of the State. 3d. That the excesses of the press be taken into consideration, and that a law be promulgated which will alike insure the liberty of the press and -the safety of the State." COMMISSION OF COMMERCE AND FINANCE The united committees of finance and commerce have carefully examined, in consequence of the resolution of the Cortes, the exposition laid before them by the Secretary Minister of Finance, respecting what has occurred relative to the suspension of payment of the half-yearly dividend of the foreign debt due on the Ist of this month. It results from the papers which the commission have had before them, that the Government of her Majesty, hop, ing at first in the resources produceable by the Royal de crees of the 26th and 30th of August last, and afterwards in the effects derivable to our credit from the glorious'vic tory of Yilla Robledo, conceived on the 24th of Septem ber last the project of effecting a negotiation in London or Paris, with the object of payment of the said half-year of the capital of 60,000 of reals,in exchange for Spanish Trea sury Bills repayable in the island of Cuba within three rears, viz. 1837, 1838, and 1839, or 20,000,000 each year, by the admission of the said bills in the receipts of one half of the import and export duties there payable. And that for the purpose Don Mateu Durou, the Spanish Con sul at Myonne, was commissioned to proceed to the places already stated, with powers and fit instructions, but which having taken place shortly before the unfortunate invasion of the chieftain Gomez into Andalusia, the Government, fearful that the negotiation respecting the island of Cuba would be unsuccessful, informed the said Commissioner, in a letter dated the Ist of October, that the postponement of the said payment being indispensable, be should offer to the holders of the bonds, instead of money, bills of the Spanish Treasury, at six and twelve months, with -5 per cent. per annum interest, authorizing him, at the same time, fcr the purpose of neutralizing in part the fatal effects of this announcement, to realize, if it were possible, on the basis of the instructions communicated on the 24th of Sep tember, a fund of 20,000,000 reels, to be invested succes sively in the purchase of the bonds of the Active and De ferred Spanish debt, and to be deposited in the Bank of England, with security that they should form the anticipa tion of the money, and until they shall be reimbursable by the revenues of the Havannah. That, the circumstances becoming more and more aggravated by the entrance of the rebels into Cordova, and the consequent abandonment of all hopes by the Government, Durou, by instructions com municated on the 7th of October, was ordered to insert in the English and French journals a declaration to the effect of stating the causes which incapacitated tile Government from paying the half-yearly dividend, and offer to take up and exchange the coupons for Treasury bills on the said terms, together with the most solemn assurances of pre viously doing all that was possible for the payment of the said bills in money. That, in the interval, letters had been received from Durou, dated the 6th and Bth of October, stating the dif ficulties of effecting any such operation in Paris. to which the Government on the 13th of October replied, ratifying, as its only resource, the order given on the 7th, to which he ought strictly to have conformed, and that which the Government relied on the exact compliance of its arrange ments, the said Commissioner Durou, although he had re ceived on the night of the 15th the despatches of the Mi• nister of the 7tb, took the resolution, from a notion that his powers were sufficient to warrant him in so doing, to apply to the payment of the half-year the original scheme respecting the negotiation of the 60,000,000, by inserting in the journals of London of the 17th, and afterwards in those of Paris of the 18th, an advertisement, in which the offer was made to the holders of the bonds of the Spanish Foreign Debt, to the end that the payment of the interest clue on the Ist of November would be effected in Spanish Treasury Bills of 120, 240, 480, and 1,920 dollars, divided into eight equal parts, with interest of 5 per cent., payable in six months' date from the Ist of May, 1837, and which bills were to be admissible in the payment at the custom houses of the island of Cuba of the import and export duties to all persons whatsoever holding them, the said Durou, moreover, having ventured to promise that the said bills should be received in payment of any loan which might be made in foreign countries for the service of the Spanish Government. That in consequence the Government bad disapproved of the offers and promises as made by the said Durou without authorization or formalities for the purpose, and maintaining the measure of the 7th of October, for which purpose it bad arranged that notice should be pub lished in London and Paris of the declaration prepared on that day. The exposition of the Secretary Minister of Fi nance concluded, after it had promised itself that the Cortes would be pleased to declare, that from its contents it was clear that no provision was wanting on the part of the Go vernment to arrange in the best mode possible the payment of the sum due on the Ist of November, nor was it to be charged with the variation of powers therein observable, nor with the want of fulfilment of its arrangements, and it solicits from the assembled Cortes the necessary approba ; tion of the declaration of the 7th of October, of the pro mises therein contained, and the consequent authorization for the issue of the Treasury bills. The united committees, therefore, in consideration of the data already specified, and considering that another measure is not possible in the present circumstances, al though such measure were devisable, to remove the detri ment endured by our credit from the inevitable suspension of the half-year's dividend due in the month of Novem ber, has the honour to propose to the Cortes, to be pleased to declare— " 1. The Cortes being informed of the communication made by the Secretary Minister of Finance, relative to what had taken place as to the deplorable suspension of the half year's dividend of the foreign debt due on the Ist of this month, and having with great regret seen that it has pro duced no effect, notwithstanding the efforts of the Govern ment, as well in consequence. of the unfavourable circum stances lately occurred, as from the immense extraordinary expenses which arise on account of the civil war, originat e ing in the considerable increase of the armed force, and con sequent torpor of the receipts of the public sales : .4 2. For the purpose of remedying in part the preju dices caused to the creditors of the State and to the national credit, the Cortes approve the proposal of the Government to exchange the coupons of the said half-year, which ought to haveebeen taken up in money, for bills on the public Treasury of six and twelve months half each, with 5 per cent. per annum, in conformity to the special notice of the Government on the 7th of October last, declaring furthr that the payment of the said bills shall be publicly and re: giously effected under the strictest responsibility.

She is a schooner, under Portuguese colours, having on board 337 Africans. Th e alarming scarcity of provisions, so unusua l at t hi s period of the year, vilven now prevails throughout the island, is deeply felt by tile inhabitants of St. George's ; and the stock of flour in hand at the present moment is not more than adequate to meet a few days consumption.

THE SUN, LONDON , FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1536 BRIGHTON.-THURSDAY We are sorry to state that about 50 of the apprentices of the Good Hope estate, in the parish of Port Royal, left the property yesterday in a body, and proceeded to Spanish Town, to complain to the Governor. A circular has, however, been issued to the stipendiary Magistrates, not to permit bands of negroes to absent themselves from their homes, but to send a deputation to his Excellency, who will willingly listen to their complaints. In this case we have no doubt they will be sent back in charge of the Police, with orders to the Special Magistrate to try them, and to make good the labour their absence has occasioned. This morning the King and the Duchess of Gloucester took a drive before luncheon. His Majesty also took a car riage airing this afternoon, accompanied by Lady Falkland. This morning the Queen, accompanied by the Earl and Countess Brownlovr, the Hon.i Miss Mitchell, Hon. Miss Eden, Miss Wilson, Hon. Captain Curzon, Mr. Hudson, and Hon W. Ashley, walked up the Marine Parade to the Terrace beneath Kemp Town, where her Majesty remained for some time, and subsequently took a carriage airing on the Cliffs. The Princess Augusta, accompanied by Miss Wynyard, took a carriage airing this morning on the Cliffs before luncheon. Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, accompanied by his tutor, and the Hon. Captain Curzon, walked out this morning. His Majesty gave audience to the Lord Chamberlain and Sir Robert Gordon yesterday. The Rev. J. R. Wood left the Palace this morning for London. Their Majesties entertained at dinner yesterday evening— Prince Esterhazy and his son (who arrived a short time before at the Norfolk Hotel), Lord and Lady George Sey mour, Sir Hamilton and Lady Seymour, the Earl and Countess of Wicklow, Major-General Sir John Elley, and Sir James Reynott. Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar takes leave of their Ma jesties next Monday, and proceeds to the Military College at Sandhurst to pursue his studies. The following distinguished persons have called at the Palace this day :—Prince Esterhazy and his son, the Earl and Countess of Surrey and Lord Fitzallan, the Earl and Countess of Sheffield, Lady Bankes, Sir Robert Gordon, Major-General Sir J. Elley, Lord and Lady Colville, Mr. and Mrs. G. Byng, and Vice-Admiral Donnelly, on leaving. IRELAND. Dublin, Nov. 23. GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND.—An extraordi nary meeting of the Association was held yesterday at the Corn Exchange Great Rooms, in order to enter into new arrangements to insure the success of the popular candidate at the approaching election for the county of Longford. The Secretary, Mr. French, read the proceedings of the last day's meeting ; also the plan as laid down by Mr. O'Connell, for regulating the business of the Association. A great many new members having been first admitted, and several subscriptions handed in, Mr. O'Connell rose and addressed the Association at considerable length. The following abridgment from the Pilot supplies a summary of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's speech :—" I give no tice, that on Thursday next, I shall move to have inspectors of registry sent down again to the country, to arrange for the forthcoming registry at the January Sessions—(Hear , hear)—and I will also move to have half-a-dozen of first rate agitators sent down to the county Longford—yes, well trained men, who know their business. There is no county in Ireland, not even Carlow, that has suffered more from the cruel persecution of Tory landlords than Longford. The poor people have suffered the most grinding and heartless persecution that ever was heard of from men who pretended to the greatest sanctity. Great praise is due to Luke White, for coming forward to take his place in the front of the battle. I repeat it, that too much praise cannot be given to the White family, for the noble and the manly conduct they have always pursued when a battle was to be fought for the liberties of their country.- If we keep in the Melbourne administration, we must get what we seek for ; we owe much to Lord Mulgrave, but it is through the instrumentality of Lord Morpeth we received it. Never was there beard of in the annals of profligacy and corrup tion, anything so shamefully corrupt and degrading as the conduct of the corporation of Dublin. It is said that beyond the lowest•depths of hell there is a deeper hell to be found. So, beyond the lowest depths of depravity there is still something more depraved to be found in the corpo ration of Dublin. I will not be twenty-fours in the House of Commons at the beginning of the next session, until I put a notice on the books, to have the conduct of the corporation of Dublin inquired into. I will move for an inquiry into the mode of making freemen ; and I would like to see if Lord Lyndhurst himself would get up and say that be would protect such fraud and corruption.—( Hear.) We must in crease our majority in the House of Commons, and that will put down the nuisance of the corporation system. We have, beyond a possibility of doubt, Carlow liberated.—(Cheers.) We will give Bruen an opportunity of goinc , about his busi ness—he may go to the Zoological Gardens for show ; and I will venture to say he will not find a baboon there half !-o ugly as himself.—(Loud laughter.) If Youghal be in danger, whose fault is it? I will tell you that it is the fault of the Duke of Devonshire. I tell the Reformers this, that if the Duke of Devonshire has any dislike to me I will withdraw my son from Youghal, and let them send down a Ponsonby or a Cavendish, and, notwithstanding the small constituency, lie will be returned by a majority of fifty—the popular party would support him, and it would not cost him a penny. Let the Duke of Devonshire be what he professes to be—namely, the friend of the present Administration—and Youghal is safe. Then there is Athlone, where we will turn out a Tory. There is Kin sale ; we are safe there. Cork and Drogheda will return Reformers ; the Orangemen will surely be kicked out of those places. We will triumph, too, in the counties of Do negal and Cavan ; and in the county Down, one of the Members, at least, will be a Reformer. I now come back to Longford, and I call upon the people to rally round Luke White. It may be that Mr. White will be returned without a contest, though it is said that they have sent to England for money, which they expect from the Carlton Club. They will hardly get it—the Dublin election cost the Club too much, and they did not get value for their money—the Dublin election cost me sixteen thousand pounds, although I had not to pay for votes, nor even the candles which were burned in the Committee-room ; those who sat round them paid for them. We did every thing with economy, and yet it cost me that sum ; and I don't think I exaggerate, when I say that it cost my opponents and the Carlton Club fifty thousand. Mr. O'Connell con cluded by moving that it should be referred to the Com mittee to appoint persons to canvass Longford for Mr. White. After some further proceedings having relation to the representation of Longford, the meeting adjourned till Thursday. Mr.:O'Connell's motion in reference to the rebellion-writ system did not go on in the Exchequer on Monday. We lament that the reason was of so painful a nature. The accounts which reached Dublin cn that day of the state of Mr. Maurice O'Connell's health were such as to preclude his afflicted parent from appearing in a Court with any prospect of doing justice to the important cause.—Pilot. The situation of Accountant-General to the Court of Chancery has been bestowed upon Mr. Samuel Barrington. We regret to announce the death of James Trail Hall, Esq., King's Counsel, and Chairman of the c ounty of Cavan. It is rumoured that Mr. Dickson is to be the new Chairman. The month's mind for the late Mrs. O'Connell, will, we understand, be celebrated in Dublin on the first of Decem ber next. On Thursday a hostile meeting took place near Wexford between Mr. B— and Dr. B—, the former seconded by Mr. ll—, and the latter by a friend from Dublin. On the word being given, Mr. B— received his a dversary's fire, and discharged his own pistol in the air. The misun derstanding grew out of a love affair, in which Mr. B— figured as the gay Lothario ; and his high-spirited antago nist, Dr. B—, thinks that his pistol was certainly charged with only Cupid's pellet, as its contents—instead of making a due impression on the love-sick swain—dissipated into ,hin air. COURT CIRCULAR. A meeting of the Church Commission was held yesterday morning. There were present the Archbishop of Canter bury, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Lincoln, Mar quis Lansdowne, Viscount Melbourne, Lord John Russell,. and the Right Hon. H. Hobhouse.

It is understood that his Grace will pass the Christmas holi days at Strathfieldsay. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.--A new burletta, in two acts, entitled Delicate Attentions, from the pen of Mr. Poole, was produced at this Theatre, and we are happy to s ay, with perfect se :cess, The plot is as simple as can be imagined. Mr. G agerly (Strickland) of the mature age of fifty-five, has fallen in love with the fair daughter of his landlady Mrs. Bustle (Madame Sala) realizing the pro verb, "no fools like old fools." Miss Bustle's affections happen, however, to be placed on an exquisite tailor, named Hobnil (Parry) ; Gingerly finds himself unequal to the task of disclosing his passion to the young lady in person, and in consequence adopts the mode of showing his attach ment by certain " delicate attentions," in the shape of p re . sents of flowers, &c., all of which arc placed to the account of Snip, his rival, who in the end gains the band of Miss Bustle, to the dreadful annoyance of old Gingerly : he re tains, however, nerve enough to enable him to bespeak a repetition of his delicate attentions. This smart trifle w as played admirably well ; the burden of it is laid on Strick land's shoulders, who in the character of Gingerly, exhibited much of that rich and quiet humour for which he has been justly celebrated for a considerable time past. The other characters, though subordinate, were equally well sustained, and the piece was announced for repetition amidst loud and undivided applause. The Carlton Club, which still occupies apartments pro. tern. in Dover -street, will resume the occupancy of their mansion in Pall-mall at Christmas, when the alterations and improvements, now in progress, will be completed. A new wing has been added to the mansion, and a new private dining-room built, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1836. Letters and papers from Madrid to the 17th insl lave been received. Their contents are very interest ing. The treason of General Ron'', is now placed beyond a doubt. When the Deputy, CARDERO, whom the Cortes sent to notify to him his removal from the army appeared before him, RoDIL refused to allow him to speak a single word—declined to touch the Ministerial despatches—and swore violently that he would order CARDERO to be shot if he dared to tamper with the troops. The Con. Deputy appear ing to pay no regard to this ebullition of rage, RoDIL ordered him to be led from the camp in custody of two officers, telling him at his departure, that he would re tain the command till he had beaten GomEz, after which he would return to Madrid at the head of his troops, and settle all accounts with his enemies. CARDER() next proceeded to General .ALix, who played over again the part of RODIL. He told CARDERO that he would not resign, and did not care a rush for the menaces of the Cortes. If they desired to know his opinion of their conduct, he wished them to be informed that they would much better discharge their functions by sending him rations, shoes, and money, than by troubling him with their contradictory orders. On the 15th CAR DERO returned to the capital, and related to Minis ters all that had occurred to him. A Cabinet Council was instantly held, after which the Cortes sat secretly for several hours. The result was that the Gazette of the following morning contained two Royal De crees, the first depriving RODIL of the command of the army, and removing him from the office of Minis ter of War—the second revoking the Royal Decree of the 16th of September, which had conferred a num ber of honours and privileges upon the Marquis of RODIL. If these Decrees produce no effect, it is un derstood that Ministers will have recourse to a sentence of outlawry. It is difficult to understand the real in tentions of RoDIL in thus driving affairs to extreme ties. If he seek only a pretext to go over to Don CARLOS, as his past inactivity would lead many to suppose, his being outlawed by the QUEEN'S Govern ment must utterly destroy his moral influence. As he has done nothing to improve the discipline of his troops, who were in the most wretched state of disorganization when CORDOVA quitted them, he has no hold upon the affections of the men, and therefore cannot hope to compromise them in his treason. The utmost he can hope to accomplish is to cause them to remain for a few weeks in a state of total inaction. This has been hitherto his policy. During the thirty days imme diately preceding the 12th inst.,lwhile GOMEZ was carrying fire and sword through the richest cities of Estremadura, RODIL contrived to keep his division nineteen days confined to their quarters, without offer ing to move half a league against the enemy. Our own opinion is that RODIL wished to adjust the ba lance between the QUEEN and Don CARLOS with so much nicety as to render his own weight only neces sary to give a preponderance to either side. RODIL like CORDOVA tried the stale trick of a divided alle giance, till he might learn which party would purchase him at the highest price. In the midst of his nego ciations with Don CARLOS his treason was discovered in the capital, and as the Pretender refused to stipu late expressly for a declaration in his favour, it is most probable that the discarded Minister, if he escape with life, will take shelter in that receptacle for all traitors to the Constitutional cause—the court of the Citizen King. RoDIL had fancied that Don CARLOS, having suffered so much from his vigilance on a for mer occasion, would purchase his defection at any price, but the Prince had learned not to fear him, and besides was sensible how much his tried fol lowers would resent being superseded in his favour by a traitor. RODIL was not ignorant that Louis PHILIPPE was at the bottom of several intrigues for placing DON CARLOS on the throne of Spaiii. This added to his anxiety to come to terms with the Pretender ; but, on the other hand, it cooled the ardour with which the Pretender would have received his first overtures. The General intrigued—waited— and sought every means to amuse the Cortes, till matters were decided upon between himself and the Pretender. Suddenly a storm is raised against him—he is denounced as a traitor —deprived of his command—and invoked to answer for his conduct before the bar of his country. What will be the final result of this affair is more than we shall undertake to determine. There no longer e xists a doubt of the Commander-in-Chief 's treason, and, to all appearance, ALAIX is deeply implicated in it. nit The Cortes have acted with becoming dig y throughout this affair. From the bold front assumed by them we may conclude that they posse ss the phy sical force necessary to bring the refractory General i and his partisans to condign punishment. General R IBE IRO, second in command to RODIL, has been , appointed to supersede him i - and a considerable por PUBLIC SALES-THURSDAY. By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, at the Mart. The leasehold premises of Messrs. Harding and Lepard No. 4, Pall-mall, East, and No. 26, Great Suffolk•street, held for 27 years, at reserved rents amounting to 554/. 3,000 guineas. The residence, No. 25, Great Suffolk-street, adjoining, held for the same term, at 1311. 95. 4d.-5501. A freehold sporting residence, and four acres of land, at Wood Speen, three miles from Newbury, Berks-920 guineas. The freehold and copyhold Thorn Estate, Shimpling, be tween Bury and Sudbury, Suffolk, comprising the farm re sidence and three farms, producing 4451. a year-9,700 guineas. The perpetual advowson and right of presentation to the rectory of Shimpling, the tithes extending over the whole parish of 2,500 acres, producing, with the glebe of 83 acres, 5601. a year ; also a residence, &c. ; present incumbent aged 69-4,600 guineas. The freehold Trimsaran Estate, four miles from the market and sea towns of Kidwelly and Llanelly, South Wales, comprising 700 acres of pasturage and arable land, with the anthracite or stone coal beds, and other minerals below ; a family residence, cottages, and buildings-50,000 guineas. The effect produced on the town by the publication of a novel, called " Sydenham," will long be remembered. In this work the absurdities of modern society, and the eccentricities of modern characters, were laughed out of countenance in a tranchant style. Beau Brummel figured deliciously ; and the early life of Brougham, the maturity of Canning, and the declining days of Sheridan, were displayed in a most penetrating vein of satire. The talents of the author of this remarkable fiction have lately slept ; but the public will be glad to hear that he is, about to issue from his retirement, and to produce a new novel, to be called " Lionel Wakefield ; or, the Life of an Adventurer." On Saturday last, a dinner was given to Mr. Forrest, at the Garrick Club, at which Mr. Sergeant Talfourd pre sided. Amongst those who honoured Mr. Forrest by the invitation, were his great rivals in the art which he pro fesses—Mr. Charles Kemble and Mr. Macready. It is rumoured that the little work which has just appeared, entitled " The Floral Telegraph," is from the pen of Captain Marryat. The idea is a very ingenious one, and may very naturally be supposed to have suggested itself to an active and inventive mind like that of the Captain's. It is perhaps not generally known that the code of Naval Signals in use in the Merchant Service is his, and " The Floral Telegraph" is a beautiful adaptation of the same principle to communications by Flowers, suscepti ble of endless variety, yet perfectly unintelligible except to the initiated. There is such a strong rumour of Parliament meeting a month earlier than usual next Session, that several of the Nobility's Christmas parties are now assembling ; while many families are staying temporarily at the watering place 3 instead of keeping house in the country for a short period, MEMORIALS OF MRS. HEMANS.—This inte resting work, which has just appeared, is written in an ex cellent spirit.. Mr. Chorley has introduced Mrs. Hemans to us in a new light—all the reading world knew that she was a writer from whom to model—he tells the reflecting world that she was a Christian, whose example was one to follow.

Thus ' 10/. 201., or 311/I', for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS. ~'=r'' "k ~.~ :~- &C rl Lion of the division under ALAIx: have gone over, and joined the standard of his successor, NARVAEZ. A summary of the proceedings in the Cortes, from the 12th to the 16th inst., will be found in another part of The Sun. It will be seen with pleasure that Ministers go hand in hand with the representatives of the nation, in laying the foundation of a reformed system of Government. The improvements in the Constitu tion will be such as to satisfy all moderate persons of the higher ranks, while they will not be suffered to infringe on the rights of the electoral body. There is no longer a doubt as to the satisfactory settlement of the Regency question. The latest accounts from Bilboa are to the 18th instant. The siege was then continued, with every hope of success on the part of the Carlists. The city was hemmed in on all sides, and deep trenches cut, so as to facilitate the operations of the besiegers. ESPARTERO had not made his appearance, and EGUIA had calculated that by the 19th he would be master of the city. Without timely succour from without, the fall of Bilboa was regarded I as inevitable. It was stated on 'Change this morning that letters had been received from Madrid, dated the 15th instant, announcing the offer of h loan of four millions sterling to the Government, by certain banking-houses in that city. The parties offering to advance the money proposed to the FixancelMinister (MENDIZABAL), that the repaY mcnt of the loan should be secured to them on the reve nues of Cuba, and that the whole debt, together with the interest, should be liquidated in 15 years. If these terms were agreed to, the loan would be taken at 60. Nothing was mentioned on the subject of the Finance Mi nister's answer to this proposal, if in reality it was ev" made, which we are very much inclined to doubt. 'The revenues of Cuba are already mortgaged for as much as they will yield for ten years to come. As th e agents for the South American colonists have stil3ll - to pay the mother-country a large sum for the recognition of their independence by the Cortes, we presume that MENDIZABAL will commence with his new credit in that quarter. The whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday have been received. They contain a letter in the form of a charge, from the Archbishop of PARI S to the rectors of the Archdiocese, forbidding them to comply with the requests of those wh ° may solicit them to offer up solemn masses for the soul of CHARLES X. I-fe allows them to pray for the deceased Monarch, but not publicly, lest the public peace should be destroyed, and scandal be thus brought upon the Gospel Ministry. The more mode,. rate among the Royalist party approve of the conduct of the Archbishop. The commutation of the Prince DE POLIGAC S sentence of imprisonment for life into banishment for twenty years is ridiculous. The poor Prince c annot be expected to survive his past sufferings for half thit . t time. Banishment for life would not affect the dig' posal of his mortal remains ; and we cannot a ssign, any other motive for the sentence now passed upon 11 . 0' It is understood that the Prince will take up his future residence in this country. Marshal CLAUSEL has issued a Proclamation , ad : * dressed to the inhabitants of Constantia, forbidding • them to defend their city against him, and declaring , that they are subjects of France. He refers to tbe presence of the Duke de NEMOURS as a proof lively interest which LOUIS PHILLIPPE takes in their happiness I The old Marshal evidently find s himself, in the predicament of the painter, who saw the necessity _ of labelling his portraits—" this is a lion"—" this a dog." of the We find in one of the Tory papers of tills m orn.• ing, a report of the proceedings of an association which was formed last year by certain Tories residing in the Borough of Finsbury. The object of the as sociation was to look after the interest of the party in that populous district, and if possible to revive it after the disastrous, not to say mortal, shock whi , h it had - received at the last general electtion. W e are vei l far fr om fi n di ng f au lt with this mode of :procedure. Though we reprobate the means which the Tories Cm' Ploy so unscrupulously to gain their ends, yet we luti st say that their restless activity and indefatigable per severance, even, as in the present case, under the mo ss discouraging circumstances, are worthy both of praise and ithitation. We cannot, however, we are happy to say, ,congra' tulate them on the success which has attended their efforts in this instance. Indeed, we are almost sur prised that they should have ventured upon a Itel 343 ' t at all ; for with all their skill in making out a plausible case from the slenderest materials, they exhibit Toryis m in a pitiful plight indeed in the quarter -which the/ have chosen for the scene of their operations- The re gistered voters in the borough of Finsbury, if we are ne mistaken, amount to between 9, 000 and 10,000. Ile° many of these do our readers imagine have joined t be , high-sounding "Finsbury Conservative Association? About four hundred, says the Report I This is trilY a meagre proportion of the electoral body—scar ce r . out-numbering Sergeant SPANICIE'S Committee; when we duly consider the Tory acceptation of word " about" which the concoctors of the iteii°!;:4l so happily employ, we must make a handsome dedtieltoi tion—probably not less than one-half—from this 11 0 0 " - 44 4 ble totality. 40, The plan adopted—we should rather say P ro P Qse. —by the persons who took the lead in the Associtiinl was to divide Finsbury into five beats , each beat to P 9 , :,t e under the jurisdiction of a Committee. The y bave: '!. however, not been able to carry this plan into -ffect From some cause or other which has not been e plained, they have not deemed it expedient to ext e t n he their exertions beyond the Holborn district., leavipg other four divisions, which are by far the more.PeP lons ones, to take care of themselves.
