merits made in the Paris Papers upon this subject' be correct, we cannot doubt the correctness of the King's opinion; -but if the urging of a false pretence deceive, as no doubt it has, the far greater part of those who repeat the clamour against tht Ministers, it would be wise in the King-to strip the conspirators of this pretence, which is the right arm of their strength, and by withdrawing his confidence from the present Ministers, conciliate the confidence of the great mass of his subjects,who are supposed to be now deluded. The Ministers themselves seem to entertain the same opinion, for we are assured that on the morning of the 6th inst. they in a body offered their resignations to the King. They urged the necessity of the measure to his Majesty, and it would seem that a discus sion of some length took place between the King and the Ministers. The conversation, however, was terminated by his Majesty rising from his chair with great warmth, and positively com manding them individually to maintain his post. THE LON - DdiNt JOWINALS: DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING FATEILS December 21. [HORNING POST.] French Papers to the 18th inst. have reached us. The Censors seem to have already suspend ed their labours, for not one of those numerous blanks which hitherto gaped ominously on almost every page of the Parisian journals, is at this mo: meat visible. They perhaps retired at the same time as their colleagues from office, and had no successor appointed by the Ultras, who disdain to avail themselves of the last services of an ex piring law, which they have no intention of re newing. This virtual restoration of the liberty of the Press has not yet led to the expression of any party violence, and from the general mode ration of tone which prevails, it is easy to per-. ceive that all sides are now resting on their oars, unwilling perhaps to bestow commendation, but unable to find cause for opposition and blame. -it appears by a semi-official article in a declared . . - Ultra Journal, that the new Ministers intend to act as we had anticipated, and to substitute laws for punishing the Offences of the Press, instead of those which prevented publication. The most interesting intelligence contained in theSe Papers is that which relates to the events in Spain. .1f it be 'correct in all its details, the crisis of the Spanish Monarchy is come. Like its transatlan tic possessions, the whole kingdom seems now falling in pieces, and ready to sub-divide itself into petty ,Republics or States, according to the disposition of the people in the various provinces, .cr theerambition of their leaders. Mina appears already to have rendered 'himself - independent in • Galicia ; and as he possesses the love and confi dence of a large portion of the army, we should. not be surprised to find that he aimed at more extended empire. The King, who has returned to Madrid, seems at last fully alive to the dangers of his situation, and resolved to meet them with a manliness of spirit, which, though it may be too late to conquer them, may at least produce a struggle worthy of a Monarch, and, if he should fall, the fall of a hero. Circumstances have se verely tried the unhappy Ferdinand ; and how ever great the errorsof his former course may have been, it . is impoisible not to feel compassion for " a Sovereign docimed to see empire departing gradually from him, and the throne becoming the first step tAtlie scaffold. [NEW TI3I Es.] The French Funds appear to indicate not the smallest degree of that alarm which has for years been predicted as the necessary consequence of elevating the Royalists to power; on the contrary, public credit is rather improved than deteriorated by the nomination of M. de Villele to the, Minis try of Finance; which, we confess, is more than we expected ; because the reputation of his pre decessor, M. Roy, as a Financier, was deserv edly great ; and the removal of a man of known talent from any office is apt to be followed by at least a temporary want of confidence in hisbim mediate successor. The present circumstances then afford a strong proof that the Constitutional Royalists, as a Party, are regarded in France very differently from the way in whiCh they 'Ave been represented here : their views and interests are neither in fact, nor in the opinion of the in fluential part of society, opposed to the views and, interests of the people.—lt may perhaps be not uninteresting at the present moment to retrace the snccessive changes which have taken place in the political arrangements of France since the downfall of Buonaparte. Even before that event, we had taken one view of the Party divisions of that country, from which view we have never found occasion to vary. It has indeed been made matter of private remonstrance and of public charge against us, that neither in terest nor influence could bend us from our opi- nions on this subject, or induce us to hold a lan guage to the public which in our own consciences we were convinced was alike false and pernicious. .2.,r * o4ism.;G HERALD.] This, to be.sure, does not constitute a very heivy charge on our integrity ; but we are well aware that,j4 , may subject us to the imputation of ob stinacy, unless we can offer some satisfactory ex planation of our reasons for dissenting from so many wise and grave authorities. We appeal then in the first instance to the event. We pre dicted the downfall of Buonaparte, and he fell. We predicted the downfall of Fondle, and he fell. We predicted the downfall of Decaze, and he fell. in saying this, we lay claim to no greater sagacity than belongs to any other indi vidual ; but we do lay claim to the merit, if such it be, of long, laborious, and patient investiga- Monday's Paris _Papers are chiefly taken up with pretended private letters from Spain, which describe that 'country as on the eve of a flesh revolution. ,We repeat our conviction that these accounts are for the ,most part fabrications. At the same time it is evident that a great ftrinent .reigns at Cadiz and Corunna. By the. last ac ,counts Gen. Mina had been dismissed from his command and ordered - into - exile, and was about to "obey the order, when the populace prevented his departure. The'King, however, and the Royal Family, it is said, were received at Madrid with great enthusiastn,.on theirseturn from the Escurial. 41e is made to say, in these private letters that his revolted subjects were preparing to dispose of him as the French did of Louis XVI., but that, unlike that,Prince,„ be should die sword in band at the head of his .. guards." The person who put this absurd speech into the mouth of Ferdinand' had certainly" no regard in his compo sition to what ..are called the dra matic probabi lities. .At the same time,' that unhappy Sove reign, whether through his fatilt,. or that of his subjects, is in. an afflictiug, and even perilous, si tuation. The• object of the discontented, pro -7.leSsedly, is to displace the present, and restore the late Ministry, which contained persons of known Talet.atidttationalconfidence. The perinanent de- Ptriation,Of the .Cortes has privately advised the King todisrniS'shis present Cabinet. Butthis he re ::uses to dp, until the full Cortes shall have come . l,t resolution on the conduct of the Ministers. Thls stibject was to be discussed on the 7th, the after„the date of the last - .accounts. In the .)text, therefore, we may : expect some interesting „netv . s,: Four 'of the Ministers are particularly ;':oahn:OicionS. Some of• the French " liberal", Jour . nets describe these as Judges tinder the despotic • Governinent; and still preserving the same cha ,. . StActer tor insolence and, Corruption, for which the ;tribunals were notorious. At all events, this . Admiasfration has proved itself so utterly in . coippetent to enforCe .own •authority and that ....- Orthe laws, that -it should have made its retreat ton : and we know that our sources of informa tion have been purer than those on which most other persons have relied. It is a lamentable truth that from the commencement of the Revo lution to the present hour, most of the political agents, most of the private correspondents of newspapers, most of the writers of travels and memoirs on France, have been either ignorant or unprincipled. A regular manufactory of delusion has been carried on, against which it was impos r s&to guard, but by a degree of exertion, which fetTtliought the subject deserved. [THE TIMES.] The Dublin Papers of Tuesday last announce the actual opening of the Special Commissions at Limerick—(see TIIE SUN of yesterday) — on , the 15th instant, with a detail of the formalities which attended that proceeding. The two Knights of the Shire were on the County Grand Jury. The foreman of the City Grand Jury was the lion. J. Vereker; and in each list are to be found the names of many of the princiyal families in that quarter of the kingdom. Baron M'Clelland delivered the charge in the County Court, reciting and explaining the provisions of the Whiteboy Act of 1776 ; and of the Riot Act which was passed by the Irish Parliament in the 9.7 th of his late Majesty. The Learned Judge recommended it to the Magistrates,. to ar rest any persons who might be in the secret of the insurgents ; whom also the Magistrates were bound to swear, and on their refusal to swear, to commit them to prison. He further advised, that all " suspicious" persons roving about, and strangers in, tile country, and " likely to diffuse the wicked spirit" now afloat, should be called upon to give ball, and • • • ' [BRITISH - PRESSM I%e riaular receipt of 'the Paris 'Papers" of Morxday last has added .but little to . the informa tion which 'we had previmisly collected from the arrivalS,.of , The Moniteur of the same .day by express,' , The most important part of their con tents reNfei to the, affairs of Spain -; but updi In case of refusal committed until the next Assizes These last enumerated acts of magisterial prero. is.subject we must repeat the exception which we have already taken to the truth of this in telligence.' from the palpable spirit; of .exagge sation that prevails throughout it. According to the accounts now brought by the Paris Papers, the revOlntiollaryspirit; „or at"' least the feeling of-opposition, .to the present Ministers, which bad prompted Cadiz, Seville, and Corunna to acts .of open" rebellion, .haS likewise manifested itself with.equal energy in Barcelona, Valladolid, Pampeluna, Medina.:Sidotlia, and other places ; so that the conspiracy, whatever may be its Ob. gative and duty are strong indications, it must be acknowledged, of dangerous times, and are mani festly such as must seek their justification in cases of extreme necessity. The' number of pri soners for trial in the county gaol are 49, of whom 4 are charged with murder, 13 with as sembling by night and housebreaking, e with highway robbery, 2 with having arms and gun powder concealed,2administering unlawful oaths, 12 assaulting Crown witnesses, and 12 sundry other offences. In the city of - Limerick there are 24 for trial, of whom 3 are indicted capitally. • . . i ..‘ ject, presents strong evidence that t embraces a very considerable portion of the whole kingdom. The greater part of the reguiar army, and also of the militia, are said to have declared against the Ministers ;" and very forcible remonstrances t over- We shall now have speedy means of ascertaining what repressive power belongs to the criminal law of Ireland, and how far the example of con dign punishment inflicted on the guilty will be ca pable of deterring others from an imitation of _ . stepping: in too'many instances the respect due to the' , Chief Magistrate, of the tation; have been presented to the King, requiring him to yield to the evident sense of te people, by dismissing the , obnoxiois members of his Cabinet. The King appears to be imPressed with the belief that the chauge of the Ministersis but a pretence to conceal the real object of the conspirators, and that the expulsion of the Bourbons, and the subsequent their crimes. If hunger and despair be the sti mulants which drive the whole population of an Irish county •to midnight assemblages, and to simultaneous seizures of arms, with which they expect to carry by main force an improvement of their own destitute condition, it is easy to talk of reclaiming such a people by punishing some for an example ; but it is not'easy to cure de spair by terror. It is evident that- to something formation' of , a federative republic, are the - pur- lin the nature of conciliation we must hdve re vtges•really sduglit to be attained: ' If the state- I course, if there is any rational prosp,ect cherished of permanently trariqnilliiing Ireland.

These may be looked for in laws which are not applicable to the ends of justice,—in a community, the respec tive parts of which are not sensible of having common interests,—and in a Government which, surrounded by the forms of liberty, has never yet aspired to act upon its subjects but through the instrumentality of fear. Such are not mischiefs which, appear from experience to be natural to any country existing for centuries under the do minion of the same masters. They are not merely of a superinduced and artificial character, hut so eminently artificial as to have beenk producible only by an unexampled ingenuity and obstinacy, in perverting all the arts of Government. Let the Legislature of the empire, therefore, prepare themselves, as we have said, for a review of prin ciples as well as of facts, when they undertake this most thorny and perplexing subject. With much to build up,. they will find that there is previously no trifling extent of the political edi fice to pull away, even to its foundation—a task which can .be accomplished only by.incompara ble skill, unwearied benevolence, and undaunted honesty and courage. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The last Quarter's Revenue is stated to be 840,0001. above the corresponding Quarter in the previous year ; but we must also consider what the previous two in this year were, in order to take a correct view.of the Revenue of 'the year up to the 10th of October : 1820. 1821. Quarter ending sth April £10,711,790 £10,469,177 Do. sth July 13,285, 590 12,880,552 1821. Do. 10th Oct. 13,199,962 14,040,793 Surplus in 1821 193,180 £37 5 390,522 £37,390,522. By the. above statement of the three quarters o the two years it will appear that there is a sur plus this year, over and above that of last, amounting to 103,1801.; and we are told, and believe, that the present quarter, ending the sth January,, will be. goOd ; but we fear we shall hear, when Parliament meets, that the expences incurred in Ireland, and the embodying three thousand additional men, will take away all the benefits anticipated from the excess. Let the Revenue be as productive as it may, our great great Finance Minister, some how or other, always ,contrives to employ it without either reducing the National Debt, or relieving the people from the almost intolerable burthens they have so pa tiently and so long borne.—But can it be ex pected that the agricultural classes can continue to pay their proportion of them out of their capital (for out-of capital they•have been paying their taxes ?) We think this impossible, from what we actually know of their lamentable and distressed state in many counties ; but,- at the same time, we cannot agree with what we have heard suggested as a substitute, viz. a specific tax or charge on the funded interests.—We do be lieve, however, that agriculture must be relieved, and that by a reduction of taxation, which cannot take place unless the greatest economy is adopted by whatever Ministers may rule. Notwithstand ing this is so manifest to the whole empire, many of the County-Members voted last Session for the most :shameful and extravagant Estimates, and afterwards, when called on to vote the Funds so neceSsary,• to support their own extravagant votes, they turned round on his Majesty's Mi miiters (their own friends) and voted for a Re diction of the Horse Tax, amounting to more -than 500,0001. • These Gentlemen may not meet Parliament in better humour, or possessed of more consistency, and it is, perhaps, an apprehension of them that has induced Ministers to call in the Grenvilles to their support, whom they Will, of course, bring into the field.against the restive part of the Agricultural Interests. Empty purses are very apt to open men's eyes, and itL ls not impossible that such may be brought up by. the Landed Gentlemen this Session, and that. in consequence they may • demand relief from taxation (which the Agriculturists wholly payout of their capital). If they do this, and demand economy in earnest, they must haie great weight and strength both in and out of Parliament ; and it will not he the addition of six or eight Grenvilles, headed by a Civil Doc tor at the Admiralty (an unnecessary Officer there) that will enable Ministers to resist their demands. But should they •act the part of last year' over again, viz. demand Reduction of Taxa tion,.and, at the same , thne, vote Extravag ant Es timates, we trust and hope they .will be dfeated. To follow such-a course would he ruinous to pub lid credit, deprive the Fundholder of his interest, and bring on open war between the two classes. - We deplore the present extremity of suffering of the Agricultural • Interests—an extremity to which we cannot discover that any alteration in the Corn LaWs could afford present relief. Pre sent relief must be given, and by Parliament— Reduction of Taxation would diminish the ex pence of raising produce, by reducing labour, Poors' Rates, and every other branch of expen diture,. all of which are now kept up by excessive, direct, and indirect taxation. Here, then, is the remedy, and in Parliament let the Country Gentlemen demand economy, and they • may then demand a Reduction of 'faxes to a' very considerable amount for their te nants, and they would themselves be relieved in the prices of every article they may have to purchase, equal in amount to the abatement in rents; but-if they go on supporting the shameful, shuffling system of extravagance and expedients that have been practised °Plate, they will deprive the agriculturists of legitimate relief, and the public creditor of his interest—for the State can not be - long supported by a class of persons an, nually substribing their capital instead of part of their gains,- • • COT.,ONIE3, CANADA. (non'. the Quebec Gazettes 22d Oct. to 15th Nov. 1321.) (Concluded from yesterday's Paper.) QUEBEC, N0v.1.2. We hai7e received since Moriday last, Liverpool dates to the 21st Sept, and extracts froth London papers to the 17th, via New York.—The Corn Market was rather dull at Liverpool at the last dates. The Speculators had been alarmed by ,a couple of fair days ; but as it had again rained, their spirits were reviving. Nothing that can be depended upon of the state of the English Market for Grain, as materially affecting this country, can be known before we have accounts of the months of November and December. It will then be seen whether the price will have risen so as to allow the consumption of foreign, grain,. and the effect which will have seen thereby produced., AMERICAN MAN UFACT RE3.—Great efforts are at present making in the United States to manufacture for themselves. l • I Premiums are awarded at all the Agricultural Exhibitions for articles of home manufacture. The following are some of the articles which received premiums at an Exhibition held in a part of the State of New York, bordering on Lake Ontario.— Woollen cloth, flannel, carpeting, worsted stockings, worsted I , bombazette, worsted cloth, pressed flannel, rose blankets, cot ton and woollen coverlets, bleached linen, linen diaper, grass bonnets in imitation of Leghorn, straw bonnets, bed tick, cas semere shawls, hearth rugs, fur hats, wool hats. The females of one family manufactured, within the year, 4291 yards of I cloth, 23 pairs socks, 10 pairs woollen socks, 2 pairs cotton stockings, 23 pairs woollen mittens, and one pair coverlets.— One person produced a suit of clothes, made on the day of ex- I hibition, at hiS factory in Manchester, entirely of the raw ma terials. Another produce4t specimen of cambric thread. This is one of more than a hundred similar exhibitions of which we have seen accounts in the American papers within a few months. Mr. Jefferson's policy of keeping the workshops of the United - State in Europe, seems to .be altogether abandoned. The want of foreign demand, - and the consequent low price of Agricultural Produce in such countries as the interior of the State of New York, together with the inaux of Emigrants in that quarter from Great Britain, by the St. Lawrence, will pro- - bably operate a change - in the interior of the United States, which naturally ought not to have occurred so soon, in a coun try where every person may so easily become the cultivator of lands belonging to himself: The consequence of this change will be, that the workshops of Europe will, partially at least, be transported to North America, where there is now a conti guous population of twelve millions of souls, readily commu mcating with each other by internal navigation and coasting.

Extract of a Letter from Boston respecting the sales of Clot6' of American Illanu-factuTe. " There have been large quantities of American Cloths sold in Boston within one month, and those of approved quality and colour are much sought for, and the farmer and manufacturer will, in a short time, meet with encouragement from the people, even if the Government should not protect '° National In dustry." Wool finds a ready market in Boston. Our Mer chants have imported from 100,000 to 300,000 lbs. from Europe, as much as 100,000 fine sheep would produce.

The Charlestown Ciig Gazette contains the par , - ticulars of a " highly interesting • fact," ,viz. a person born blind . receiving ,hissight at 20 'years of age. by the operation of an oculist. .;Dr. GRANT .was the successful operator, who, in. ,the presence of sympathizing friends and:kindred, instantly. gave the patient a new sense :--When the patient .first • .received the. dawn of light, there appeared such an ecstasy in his •actiott that he seemed ready to swoon away in the•sur prise. of joy and wonder. The surgeon stood be fore.him-with hisinstrnments in his hands. The patient observed him from bead to foot, and-then surveyed him as carefully, and comparing the doctor to himself, he observed- both their hands were exactly alike, except the instruments, which he took for part of the doctor's hand.--- .When he had continued in amazement for seve ral minutes, his mother could no longer bear the agitations of so many passions as thronged.upan. her, fell upon - his neck, crying out, My son s .my son ! The young 'Gentleman knew her voice, and could say no more, than = 0 me! are you my dear "mother,' and fainted !--On his recovery, he heard the voice of his dear female friend, which had a surprising effect upon him ; he appeared to view her with admiration and delight ; • and the: asked her what had been done to him -Whither, said he, am .1 carried ? all-this about me, the thing which.- I have heard so often of ? this seeing? Were you. always' thus happy, when yoU said you were glad to see each other ? Where is Torn who used to lead -me ? But methinks I could now go any where without him. Ile at tempted to walk alone, but. seemed terrified:— When_ they saw this difficulty, they told him, that until he became better acquainted with his new being, he must let the servant lead him. boy being presented to him, he was asked what sort of A creature he took Tom to be, before he had seen him. He answered, he believed he was not so large as himself, but that he was the same sort of a creature.' The of the sudden change made all the neighbours throng to see him. - As . he saw the crowd gathering, he asked his physi cian how many there were in all to be seen His physician replied, that it would be very pro- Ter for him to return .to his late condition, and suffer his eyes to be covered for a few days, for he might well remember that by degrees he had, by little and little, come to the strength he had at present, in his ability of walking, moving, -&c. and .that it was- the same thing with his eyes, which he said would lose the power of continuing to him that wonderful ftansport he was now in, except he would be content to lay aside the use of them, .until they became strong enough to -bear the light without so much feeling as he underwent at present. With much reluctance he -was pre vailed on to-have his eyes covered, in which con dition they kept him in a dark room, until it was ;.proper to let the organ receive its objects without further precaution. After several days it wag thought proper to Unbind his head, and-the young Lady to whom he was attached was instructed to perform this kind office, in order to endear her still more to him, by so interesting a circumstance.; and that she might.moderate his ecstacies by the . persuasion of a voie, which had so much power over him as her's ever had. When she began to take the bandage frOm his eyes, -she addressed him as follows :- 64 Wi lliam, I am now taking the bandage off in order to give you sight—but when I consider what I am doing, "tremble with appre hension, that though I have from my childhood lAv ed . you, dark as you were, and though you have con ceived a strong attachment for me, yet you will find that there is such a thing as beauty, which may•eninare you in a thousand passions of which yoit.are now:innocent, and take you from me for ever. But before I put myself to that hazard, tell me in what manner that love -you profess entered . your heart, for its usual admittance is at the eyes." The young Gentleman answered, " Dear Lydia! if by : seeing, I -ara to lose the-soft pantings which I -have . always felt when I heard your 'voice, if I am PO more to distinguish the steps of her I love,. when she -approaches me, -but to change that, sweet and frequent pleasure for such an - amaze ment as I experienced the little time I saw—nr if I have any thinghesides, which may take front me the sense of what appeared most pleasing to me at that time (which apparition it appears. was you) pull out these eyes before they make menu grateful to yon or undo myself. I wish for theof but to 'see you—pluck them from their Sockets,i l they are to make me forget you." Lydiawase%- tremely satisfied and delii.llited with these assu rances, and pleased herself with playing_with his perplexities for a few moments, when she with drew the bandage, and gave him sight,to his inex pressible joy and satisfaction.
