These are the real causes of the apathy cf Englishmen, and many years will elapse before the words " Spanish patriots," " Spanish liberty," and " Spanish credit," be even mentioned in England but with contempt and de rision. In all the phases of constitutional as well as des potic government, one deplorable proof of debasement stood out pre-eminent, a fixed determination to skulk from the payment of just debts. Money borrowed under one regime was disowned by the next, and even during the brief period of constitutional government, no rational plan for meeting the claims of public creditors was ever seriously entertained. Schemes in abund ance were hatched, promises of the most flattering description were held out, and every now and then some celebrated financier or money-jobber, and occa sionally a Spanish grandee, the richest of course in ail Spain, were announced as on their way toEngland to do justice at last to the public creditor and restore Spanish finances to a flourishing condition. Eng lishmen, however, were not to be taken in a tenth time; they justly regarded these schemes as swindling tricks, sanctioned, too, by the Government, and they have at last rather generally come to the conclusion, that on the other side of the Pyrenees, promises, pa triotism, and public faith, are words without meaning.

GRANT'S NEW WORK ON IRELAND, Now ready, in 2 vols. post Bvo., in cloth, IMPRESSIONS OF IRELAND AND THE Remedies for the Evils of Ireland We find, in the last files of American papers which have reached us, very intelligible indications of a desire, on the part of some of their conductors and correspondents, to get up an Anti-English ex citement—in humble imitation of that which has been cultivated with so much success in Paris, and in other of the prime cities of the departments of France. The American article, however, is a clumsy And ill-devised affair. Its spurious metal and coarse workmanship are developed on the surface. There is no glitter and finish about it, to make it pass, almost, for the gold of truth itself—like the clever Parisian counterfeits stamped "English perfidy" and " aggres sion," with the details so minutely and circumstan tially made out that they stagger the most deter mined incredulity. The mint of a petty, vindictive jealousy, a morbid and quarrelsome envy, is alone ipparent on the face of the American fabrications, unqualified by the astute and masterly suggestions of vraisernblance which the hand of the French " de signer" so skilfully introduces into his work. We have, in the Jornal do Comercio (of Rio Janeiro), details of an affair, in which the skipper of the brig Cyrus, of New Orleans, describes himself as having been overhauled, off Cabinda, by her MAJESTY'S brig of war the Alert, on a suspicion, which the skipper's own account tends to show had every probability which appearances and his conduct could give it, of the Cyrus being, in some way or other, connected with a slave-trading venture. The course which this transaction took, according to the master of the Yankee craft (whose account only is, as yet, before as), was this :—On Captain BOSANQUET, of the Alert, insisting on coming on board—the skipper (Dumas) tried to intimidate him by a little small shot of the jus pentium kind—he vowed that "a protest should be made for the captain's violation of he treaty !" The captain, very properly, persevered, .vent down the hold, and finding "nothing but water ballast" (a suspicious preparation enough for a slaving :ruize), desired to see DUMAS'S papers. Dumas, tfter some expressions of personal impertinence to the British officer, refused to produce them, and made A ,peech very much after the style of some PAUL JUNES in a melodramatic spectacle at ASTLEY'S. Captain BOSANQUET, taking no heed of this balder dash, said he must now go into the cabin and make 'urther search ; and that he believed the Cyrus had )een sold. Hereupon DUMAS (who must certainly have dabbled in small theatricals) got up a tableau 'leant after this fashion :—"lmmediately I placed the American flag before the cabin door, which was held ight by myself, the mate, and two of my men ; and observed to him that he could not step into the :abin without trampling on the United States flag." (T. P. COOKE could not have done the thing more aandily.) "The answer was, 'lt made no difference -0 him ; and he rushed into the cabin, followed by ass officer and a negro, who trampled the flag under heir feet, in presence of my crew." (The negro is capital hit, in an appeal to a Yankee public in a southern State.) " Then I said, 'Boys ! our flag is nsulted. It will cost dear to the English na ion.' " (! I) The three seditious tailors who hung 'ut in Tooley-street a brown paper placard, coin nencing, " We, the people of England," and signed •t with their own signatures, were modest and rea sonable men compared to this " awful smart" skipper, .vho thus devotes the whole English nation to thz engeance of the United States, for the disrespect 'howls to his little bit of stage property and decora ions, so uncivilly treated after the manner he had limself challenged. A demand for his log-book is net, in a like vein of ranting bombast—but the sequel is rich. The skipper and his crew had seen he British officer, his mate, and one negro, go down he hold—in spite of their protest and DumAs's oolery—and overhaul and return. But now—the Yankee boys fall back, on the skipper's desiring them -o stand to their arms—",handspikes and knives"— Ind the captain of her MAJESTY'S ship Alert turned gale (!!), and, with the voice of a coward (!), said, Stop your men. I don't want to see any bloodshed n- butchery!" Whether Captain BOSANQUET, with - hat humanity so constantly allied to the calm, but intrepid, courage of our service, did make any ob servation with a view to avert the inevitable destruc ion in which the men must have involved themselves )y more active resistance, or whether this speech so ►ttributed to him be matter of pure invention, we teed not inquire. The deliberate and palpable false mood of the noisy ruffian who tells this impudent tory, has probably been an after-thought, to resent ,ome personal chastisement administered—or some :ontemptuous notice taken, and exposure, of his in .olence, by Captain BOSANQUET. The latter taking Lway his papers, maugre all the death-and-glory •aunting of the redoubtable JONATHAN Dumas (who had just before sworn to die, in that event, " with the ensign -halliards in his hands," the New Orleans skipper bethought him of a " tarnal 'cute" move, to 'Mind a grand claim on the English Government for ;ompensation, to a tune which all the ventures of tire Cyrus would never have come up to. So, he says, •° Thereupon me and my crew abandoned her, leaving everything on board—trunks, chronometer, instru ments," &c. Now, the pendant to all this is amusing mough, "if true," as they say in the States; for mother account adds—" The Cyrus had been sold to ;orne Portuguese traders, who, immediately after the kipper and crew had quitted, filled her with slaves." [low very remarkable a coincidence that the Cyrus should have had, when boarded by Captain BOSAN • (SUET, "nothing but water ballast in her ;—no -,hing else!" Was the water intended for the slaves ? Or were the slaves procured to consume the water ? From an amusing article in the Boston Daily Times, with the taking heading n capitals of " One Thousand Mexican Tents Manufactured in Boston," we learn, that in consequence of a statement made that journal, in September last, "that a mercantile house in Boston had contracted to supply this number of tents to the Mexican Government within 30 days, ind that the contract was understood to have been Wade through British agency ;"—a real State func tionary—a Mr. DEXTER, " United States District At- torney"—had written a most affable letter to the Boston Daily Times, begging to be favoured, on the part of the Secretary of State, with any evidence that could be furnished to prove this fact. The editor, Nith much self-complacency and solemnity, does ac- cordingly deliver himself of hii information, from whence it results that the house referred to was tat of GREELY and GUILD, of Boston ;—the vessel hat carried off the tents, the Ramon de Baldo ;—and. he instrument of payment was a draft on the great house of BARING, BROTHERS, and Co., in this country. " The whole case is one," writes the Boston Times, " which reflects no honour upon the ' liberal' institu tions of our country. We should like to know 'by what right' Mexico or England fits out munitions of war in our city, and manufactures and exports in our very midst the means of defeating the gallant little republic of T exas , w hi c h i s s t r i v i ng t o maintain its national independence against the despotic Govern ment of Mexico and the insidious and grasping power of England?" This is really pretty well for the Boston Daily Times, which could see no impropriety in the permitted transport of arms, cannon, and other ordnance and ammunition, over the IRISH By the Author of " Random Recollections of the Lords and Corn inon,," " The Great Metropolis," &c., &c.

(Tjflifl k LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1844. The apathy with which the destruction of the Spanish Constitution is viewed by the people of this country, forms a new feature in the history of free States. When the Duke D'ANGouLEmE, at the head of French troops, marched into the Peninsula to put down another Constitution, and to take under his pro tection the beloved FERDINAND, who, on the approach of his royal cousin, was amusing himself in flying kites from the roof of the Custom-house at Cadiz, there WIIS a general outcry against this interference with the affairs of a neighbouring State. English men took some interest in the event, and to the last entertained hopes that such a wanton act of aggres sion would rouse the people in defence of their coun try. A similar feeling prevailed when, in 1826, British troops were dispatched to Lisbon to protect the new-born Constitution. All wished the Portuguese Liberals success, and rejoiced when Don I‘llcrEt's troops were driven acros!. the Tray-os-pontes. A wondrous change has taken place since. The destruction of the Constitu tions of both countries is regarded as a matter of perfect indifference, and the hosts of Spanish refugees, loaded with money, and openly let loose by the French Government—an act of aggression more atrocious, because less open and candid than that of the Duke D ' ANGOULEME—attracted no more notice in . England thzn the ordinary passage of smuggling hordes across the Pyrenees. This arises from no want of sympathy on the part of Englishmen. They have still the same veneration for free institutions, for municipal government, and a Parliament consisting of three states, more or less under the control of each other, and would gladly see the same bless ings enjoyed. by all th e i r ne i g hb ours; b u t th ey h ave given up Spain and Portugal in despair, and apparently have come t o t h e conclusion that in these dt, least Southe rn States are incapabl e of enjoyingdays at blessings of liberty.

The same journal also announces that toe Major-General Of Marine at Rochefort has issued an order forbidding the officers of the navy to wear mustachious or long beards." The Prince hithself is the most egregious offender in this respect. The Pattie says— "We learn by express that serious disturbances have just broken out in Gallicia." It is stated, in a letter from Perpignan, that a mili tary cordon has been established on the frontier, to prevent the further passage of refugee officers into Spain.

The number of deaths from small-pox was 54, exceeding the preced ing week by 19; from scarlatina, 88, exceeding the previous week by 7—average respectively, 17, 45. There has been a slight increase in deaths from bron chitis ; but in almost every instance the numbers are considerably below the average. The number of deaths from small-pox during the nineteen weeks end ing Oct. 19, has been very great, amounting to not less than 797. The following is an analysis of the list of violent deaths : Fracture or contusion, 8 cases. of which 3 were by horses and carriages, and 4 by falls (of which 1 was manslaughter). Wound, 2 cases (of which 1 was murder). Burns, 1 case. Overdose of Medicine, 2 cases. Drowning, 3 cases. hanging, 1 case (suicide). Suffocation in bed, 1 case. And wilful murder by means not stated. 1 case. Total, 13 males and 6 females. THIS DAY'S NEWS. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, OCT. 28.—This morning, the King received with the usual ceremony the dispatches of the Chamber of Representatives commissioned to present to him the address of the Chamber, in reply to his Majesty's speech. His Majesty made the following answer : "Gentlemen,—The object which I have proposed to myself, and which you have just defined in so happy a manner, claims our solicitude. I know that I may depend on your patriotism and your enlight ened regard for the national interest. " You have given a new proof of the sentiments which animate you by the activity with which you have commenced your labours, for w.hich'l sincerely thank you, in the name of the country." The Chamber of Representatives, after having heard the King's answer to the address, entered on the diseusssion of the project of law relative to the settlement and relief of the poor. We hear that Messrs. Van Gend sent to London not only two of their clerks, but also two others em ployed in their French office, in pursuit of the con ductor who absconded with 35,000 f., and that they have discovered and arrested him at Liverpool, with the money in his possession. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 9.—The Turkish Ministry has been made easy with respect to its apprehensions ®f the negotiation of England with Mehemet Ali, for facilitating the communication with India over the Isthmus of Suez; and Sir Stratford Canning has succeeded in obtaining from the Porte the permission sought by the Viceroy, for the conclusion of a conven tion to that effect with .Great Britain. Meantime the British Ambassador has received from Alexandria accounts which are far from satisfactory. It is said that Mehemet Ali insists more obstinately than ever on forming himself all the necessary establishments on the Isthmus, and in providing for the conveyance (of goods and passengers) on his own account. Mr. Bourne had returned from Cairo to Alexandria and had had again two conferences with Mehemet Ali ; in consequence of which he seems to have given up all 1024 i s mind. hope of inducing BELGIANhiI II F t u 0 Three r r l_ p g ßep : arcu h se R A o e t t h o s t h ? , (l) ...ith:i.i l ,:.:Loy 7 :l____v P il e leitn r o . i ci tia e e, n ip t i .., 96% ____Loan o f_ (1840) iea ***** 104 Loan of City, 1843, Four per eent....

Three wretched-looking girls were placed at the bar on a charge of stealing a loaf of bread, from the shop of Mr. Maddox, baker, Fleet-lane. They pleaded guilty to the charge, but stated that they were driven to it by hunger. Sir CHAP3IAN MARSHALL asked what part of the country they came from ? and was answered that one was from Essex. one from Hampshire, and the third from Dublin. They were unknown to the constables.

The prisoner was fully committed for trial. *MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (T HIS DAY. ) George Carter and William Smith, respectably dressed youths, between fourteen and fifteen years of age, were charged with stealing fifty seven yards of linen from the shop of Messrs. Carr and Goodall. William Ilorsford stated that as he was passing the prosecutor's shop he observed the prisoners standing together inside at the counter, making some trifling pur chase. Smith had on an ample cloth cloak. Carter was keeping the attention of the two persons serving behind the counter. Smith drew from a shelf underneath the counter the roll of cloth in question, which by degrees he drew up under his arm to the cloak, unnoticed by any person in the shop. They shortly after left together, and witness continued to follow them until he met with police-constable No. 50 of the C division. Mr. Goodall identified the cloth as being the property of the firm, and of the value of between 2/. and 31. The prisoners made no defence, and were fully com mitted for trial. CLERKENWELL._(THIS DAY). Eliza Jones, alias Burdill, was charged with breaking Thomas Burdill's arm in two places, with a poker. The prosecutor has been living with the prisoner for the last two years. Last Monday night, he was aroused from his sleep by the violent noise she made below stairs. He went down to pacify her. She, seizing a poker, broke his left arm. Having committed this injury, she went outside the door, and smashed every window in the house that was within her reach. The prisoner complained that the prosecutor had knocked her down and jumped on her; but this he posi tively denied.—She was fully committed for trial. UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Mary Bonner, Mary Williams, and Margaret Davis, were charged before Mr. Traill, with stealing a valuable gold watch, the property of Mr. Chapple, of No. 31, Piccadilly. The complainant stated that as he was, between ten and eleven o'clock the preceding night, walking along the Westminster-road, the three prisoners came up and surrounded him. In a moment one of them made a pull at his watch, and they all ran, but he seized one of them, while a policeman pursued the other two and secured them. No property was found on them, but they had not been long locked up when a woman named Lloyd brought the complainant's watch to the station house, having (by her account) found it under the gate of the Freemasons' School, the spot where the complainaot was robbed. In the course of the examination it was stated the particular place where the robbery took pl ace was nightly infested with prostitutes of the lowest order, who make a point of insulting and robbing persona passing in that direction. The prisoners were remanded till Saturday. MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY ) Dr.aarim .173.

SOUTHALL, OCT. 30.—For the time of year we had a large supply of Beasts on offer this morning ; but that of other kinds of stock was by no means extensive. Prime Mutton sold steadily, at full prices, but otherwise the demand was extremely inactive. Beef, from 2s 84 to 3s 10d ; Mutton, 2s 10d to 4s ; Veal, 3s 4d to 4s; and Pork, 2s 6d to 3s 8d per Sibs. Supply :—Beasts, 62 ; Sheep, 1,598 ; Calves, 51; Pigs, 42.

HAILSHAM, OCT. 30.—The supply of Beasts for sale this morning was somewhat more than equal to meet the wants of the buyers, hence the Beef trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. In the value of other kinds of stock we can notice no material variation. Beef, from 3s to 4s ; Mutton, 3s to 4s ; Veal, 3s 4d to 3s 104 ; and Pork, 2s 10d to 3s 6d per Sibs.

FIRE AT A PRINTING-OFFlCE.—Shortly before nine o'clock this morning a very alarming and extensive fire broke out in the store-room of Mr. Lewis, letter press and copper-plate printer, Finch-line, C orn hill. Th e utmost exertions were used to stay the progress of the fire, while messengers were dispatched for the engines. Several of the London establishment, with a good party of firemen, were in almost immediate attendance, but the fire was not extinguished until a considerable quantity of the stock was destroyed. Mr. Lewis is, fortunately, insured in the Royal Exchange Fire-office. FIRE IN DRURY-LANE.—Considerable excitement prevailed amongst the inhabitants of this locality in con ss-quence of the discovery of fire in the low e r p ar t o f the house of Mr. Mitchell, baker, Wych-street, Drury-- lane. In this, as in the previous instance, there was no lack of assistance, and the engines quickly arrived from the Farringdon-street and Chandos-street stations, but before the fire could be arrested in its progress the shop and its contents were completely destroyed. Mr. Mitchell is not insured. MR. TEMPLETON'S CONCERTS.—The Carlisle Pa. triot, speaking of a concert lately given by Mr. Temple ton in that city, says :—" Templeton is, in himself, a host. lle stands alone as the most accomplished singer of the present day, and well did he sustain his European reputation in I love her, oh! I love her;' and Still, so gently o'er me stealing.' Mr. Templeton's voice seems capable of every modulation that the human organ can attain, from the most daring and inspiring to the most simple and soul-subduing melody. He seems to labour under no difficulty in the execution of the most elaborate and refined compositions, or in the homely phrase of every-day life. It is the perfection of execu tion, exciting even the sceptical professors of the art to expressions of rapture." One of the most beautiful lunar phenomena we remember to have ever witnessed was visible here (Brighton) on Satnrday evening, between nine and ten o'clock. The day had been dull and cloudy, but the evening was bright, and the sky nearly cloudless. About nine o'clock, a light fleecy cloud passed over the surface of the moon, which was immediately surrounded by a halo of great brilliancy. Next the moon came a large ring of pale light, becoming, at the distance of four or fire diameters of the moon, yellow. This was enclosed by concentric circles of all the prismatic colours, quite as brilliant as in the solar rainbow. The breadth, however, was much greater, each colour occu pying more breadth than that of an entire rainbow, and the outer purple belt being still wider. This beautiful appearance lasted about three minutes, during the pas sage of the cloud; and several times afterwards, as other similar clouds crossed the moon's disc, the phenomenon was repeated. We ourselves saw it a second and a third time ; the second time exhibiting less brilliancy, but the third time, about ten o'clock, precisely as we saw it at first. The diameter of the halo appeared to be about ten degrees.—Brighton Gazette. Viscount Canterbury, the Bishop of Carlisle, and the members of the Rutland family, have been placed in mourning by the demise of the Rev. Thomas Manners Sutton, who expired on Sunday last, at the Roctory, Averham, Notts, in his 55th year. Re was grandson of Lord George Manners Sutton, great uncle of the Duke of Rutland. He was subdean of Lincoln, and was pre viously a canon of that cathedral establishment, and rector of Averham. CAUTION.—A lady calling herself Mrs. Crump, who with her son has been residing here some time, has decamped, leaving her expenses undefrayed. The lady is of middling stature, rather pretty, very near-sighted, and wears spectacles. The son is not so tall, and has peculiar dark piercing eyes. lie generally wears a very dark shaggy kind of coat, very long in the back, and no buttons.—Brighton Gazette.

It is satisfactory to find that the accounts received a few days back, that the negotiation with the Pacha of Egypt for the acceleration of the transit of the mails through that country had been unattended with success, are contradicted. On the contrary, it is more than pro bable that before this final arrangements have been com pleted to carry out most successfully the great object in view. The Paella's Prime Minister, Artim Bey, had acted most courteously to Mr. Bourne, and who was, at the last dates, at Cairo, negotiating, on behalf of the Post-office authorities of this country, and had with the Pacha shown every desire to forward the object. The subject of firming a railway to Suez was under attentive consideration. There are some symptoms of a want of co-operation among the Scottish public to sustain the small note cir culation of that part of the United Kingdom. A sort of foreboding is apparent that Sir Robert Peel will in terfere with the system, and that too with success. At the meeting of the Merchant Company of Edinburgh a few days since, the Chairman announced that repro entations had been made to Mr. Macaulay, their M.P., of the safety of the small note system, and of its beneficial working. The feeling, however, of Mr. Macaulay appeared to be, as reported, that Englishmen considered sovereigns better for circulation north as well as south of the Tweed, and the Hon. Member did not give any sanguine hopes that opposition to the Premier's plans of doing away with small Scotch notes would have any effect. However, it was resolved at this, as well as at other meetings, to take up firmer ground upon the question, and to crush the project at its outset. The private letters have just been delivered from the United States and Canada. The weather had become extremely cold in Canada, and there was every appear ance of an early and severe winter. In other respects we do not find anything of interest in the advices. From New York it appears that a good spring trade was ex expected, but business at the latest dates was not very active. In the British Funds to-day we have but a trifling variation to notice. Consols for the Account have been quoted at 100 and at loci. For Money the more current value has been from 99-i to lOok. The Three-and-Half per Cents. are at 102 a, and the premiums upon Exchequer Bills are at 675. to 695. The Commissioners bought Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 1024, and Reduced Three per Cents. at 99A-.

' -Niges-46terested in Spanish securities have been taken entirely by surprise this morning by the propaga tion of the terms upon which the marriage between the Queen of Spain and the son of Don Carlos. For this extraordinary information they were indebted to the Morning Advertiser, which journal some few days since announced exclusively that th e preliminaries for the marriage had been completed. What will be thought of the debt of Spain, the amount of which is at present unknown, having added to it the expenditure of the Carlists, supposed to amount to forty millions of reels, created during the seven years' civil war? The clergy property, which has been sold, is to be inscribed in the great book of the nation, thus adding enormously again to the obligations, while even now the Treasury has not an income to meet one-tenth of the demands upon it. As no doubt the terms upon which this grossly fraudulent compact has been brought about will be found in another column of The Sun, further observations are not necessary here. Of the feelings entertained in the City upon the subject more hereafter. The market for Spanish Bonds has been very heavy this morning, the above arrangement not being at all relished by the Bondholders.

THE DUNGHILL COCK -AND THE DRUMMOND LIGHT. " Mr. Drummond said a great deal of talk was made about giving scientific information to farmers, but in hie opinion the only important question for farmers was, how to .nake a dunghill."—Speech at the West Surrey Agricultural Association, Oct. 23, 1844, reported in The Sun. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—Pray was the gentleman who made use of the words quoted above the individual who invented the Drummond light f—l am, Sir, yours, &c., Ilfracombe, Oct. 25, 1844. CAMPHINE. We read the following amusing, we know not how true, anecdote of our old favourite Lablache in the Courrier Francais :—" Few are there in the world who are not acquainted with the talent of Lablache, but his occasional absence of mind. is not so universally known. The following is an instance:— When last at Naples he was sent for to the Palace, an honour frequently con ferred upon him, his Neapolitan Majesty being much delighted with the drolleries and unalterable good humour of the celebrated singer. On arriving he en tered the waiting-room, and, till called into his Majesty, conversed with the courtiers in attendance. Having a cold is his head, he requested and obtained permission to keep on his hat. Getting into full discourse with those around, he was suddenly startled by the gentleman in waiting, crying out, His Majesty demands the presence of Signor Lablache.' In his eagerness to obey the royal summons, he forgot the hat he had on his head, and snatching up another, thus entered the King's Cabinet. Being received with a most hearty laugh, Lablache was confounded, but at length recovering himself, and re spectfully asked his Majesty what had excited his hilarity. My dear Lablache,' replied the King, pray tell me which of the two hats you have got with you is your own, that on your head or that in your hand ? Or per haps you have brought both as a measure of precaution in case you should leave one behind you ?" Aft I male. detto cr►ed Lablache, with an air of ludicrous distress, on discovering his etourderie, 'two hats are indeed too many for a man who has no head.' "—Galignani's Mes- senger. INCENDIARY FIRES IN TIM EAST RIDING OF YORK , SHIRE.—We regret to state that two incendiary fires have occurred in this neighbourhood during the last few days. The first was on Thursday morning, last week, when four corn stacks, belonging to Mr. Richard Hornsea, of Wold Farm, near North New bald, together with a thrashing-machine, were de stroyed. The other case occurred on Saturday night, when some person maliciously set fire to a wheat stack on the farm of Mr. Thomas Robinson, of Ellerker, near South Cave. A very handsome reward has been offered conjointly, by Mr. Robinson and the Yorkshire Insur ance Company, for the apprehension of the offender. Hut/ Paper. Colonel de Bouffet Montauban, the friend of Prince Napoleon Louis, who has undergone four years and a half imprisonment out of five, to which he was con demned in 1840 by the French Chamber of Peers, for the part which he took in the affair of Boulogne, ar rived here last week by the steam-boat from Dieppe, for the purpose of arranging in England some important affairs which had suffered from his long imprisonment.- 13riyhton Gazette. United States' frontiers into Canada, with the avowed object of assisting and abetting the revolt of Canadian subjects of Great Britain. VAN RANSLA ER and the other brigands did not imagine, as the Yankee editor does, that oiled-skin tents were the sort of " means for defeating an enemy ;" but plundered the arsenals of their own Government for more available muni tions of war to be used against the Britishers. But let that fact—and the talk of " liberal institutions" in juxta-position with the ill-concealed and rancorous prejudice against England which pervades the whole article—let them pass. 'We will answer the editor's question by reminding him that Mexico and Great Britain are allies. But the United States and Mexico are also under similar friendly relations. Mexico herself has never recognised the independence of her revolted province of Texas. There can be no sort of doubt, therefore, on any principle of the law of nations, that the Mexican Government had a perfect right to order —the Boston house of business a perfect right to manufacture —and any British agency a perfect right to negotiate the payment for—these oiled-skin tents for the ser vice of Mexico. To Mexico, Texas stands not in the light of a " gallant little republic fighting for its na tional independence," but of a tumultuary and li centious portion of the Mexican dominions, the de facto Government and the people of which, so far from having any feelings of national independence to plead in their justification, have long been, and are, at this moment, trying to execute a dishonest sale and transfer of their allegiance, and consequently a merger of all national identity, as well as rights, on their part, to the Federation of the United States, whereof they desire to form a component element. Now, it is very true that we may be attaching too much importance to these " explosive materials" of Yankee excitability. But we look to the evil animus with which they are scattered about, not to the im mediate amount of mischief they may be calculated to work ; and we are of opinion that such indications should be noted in time, however absurd their origin. Madrid journals of the 23d have been received. Troops had been marched in different directions, and rumours of insurrections were prevalent. The capital, however, was tranquil, and NAEVAEZ was evidently prepared for any outbreak. So long as he can pay the troops—and he will stick at nothing, not even forced levies, for that purpose—he will keep down the people. Should the military chest, however, become exhausted, he will find the Praetorian cohorts throw him off, as -they threw off their favourite General, ESPARTERO. The only news in the papers is the announcement that a comedy by MARTINEZ DE La Rosa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, entitled The Daughter at Home, and the Mother at a Ball, was about to he performed at the Madrid Lyceum. Upon the Madrid Exchange of the 23d instant the Three per Cents. were at :25/ for, ready money, and at 26+ at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. were not noted. The Paris journals are chiefly occupied with the affairs of Spain, the Liberal journals, in general, denouncing the new Reform Bill, whi!e the Ministe rial Globe and the CHRISTINA Presse speak of it in terms of praise. But if we are to believe one of the Republican organs, the National, that Bill is a mere farce compared with the conditions to be imposed upon the Spanish nation by his Holiness the POPE and the QUEEN-MOTHER. The new compact has been furnished to that journal by its correspondent at Madrid. Possibly it may be founded on fact, but as it appears in no other journal, and we have no means of judging whether it is entitled to credit, we give it without comment from the National. " The Papal bull," says the writer, " arrived at Madrid on the 10th of October. The envoy sent -- by his lIOLI NESS immediately demanded an audience of Queen CHRISTINA, in which he declared that before deliver ing the bull he was directed to demand of her MA JESTY a renewal and confirmation of the conditions previously arranged for the marriage of Queen IsA BELLA with the son of Don CARLOS. These condi tions were accordingly renewed, accepted, and signed. The bull was delivered on the 12th, and on the 13th Madame MUNOZ saw her crown of orange blossom blessed by the Patriarch of the Indies. The following are the conditions of the contract between Queen CHRISTINA and his Holiness:- 1. The legislative declaration decreed in 1834 during the Administration of M. Martinez de la Rosa by the Estamentos, shall be annulled ; and the first decree, by which the eventual right of Don Carlos and his family to the Crown of Spain was taken away, shall be decreed null and void. 2. In virtue of this official act, the property of Don Carlos and of the Infant Don Sebastian, which was con fiscated, shall, with all the revenue derivable from that property, be restored. 3. The marriage a Isabella 11. with the son of Don Carlos shall be celebrated, and the Prince shall take the title of Isabella Carlos. 4. Should Don Curios choose to reside out of Spain, he shall be guaranteed in a pension equal to that enjoyed by Maria Christina, as Regent of Spain, namely, twelve millions of reels (120,000/. sterling). 5. The Spanish nation shall acknowledge all the ex penditure, loans, and obligation; contracted by Don Carlos and his Government during the seven years of war between the two rival Sovereigns. 6. All the titles, rank, employments, and honours conferred during the same period shall be acknowledged, and no one shall be prosecuted or kept out of employ ment on account of his opinions. 7. All equipments and other necessaries supplied to the troops which supported the rights of Don Carlos, shall be paid by the public treasury in the same way as those furnished to the troops of Isabella. 8. The independence of the Catholic Apostolic and Roman Church shall be acknowledged ; all the property of which the clergy have been spoliated shall be re stored, and if that should be impracticable, the property not sold shall be restored, and an annual revenue shall be given to the full value of the income of the property of which the Church has been deprived, that property, according to present calculations, amounting to 4,000 millions of reals (40 millions of pounds sterling). The writer then makes the following comment on this extraordinary document : " You will now see the reason wby the troops in Na varre were ir.creased, in order, on a given day, to pro tect the return of the family of Dun Carlos to Spain. You will see why the disturbances at Alicant and Car thagena were taken advantage of to dissolve all the Na tional Guards of the kingdom, and why the disarma ment of the citizens has been made an article of the Constitution. You will also see what has induced the suppression of the paragraph relative to the sovereignty of the people, and why article 48 was expunged, which compelled the Queen to have the consent of the Cortes in the choice of her husband; and also why article 54, which decreed the decheance of Don Carlos and his family, has been destroyed—an article pronounced in 1834 by the Estamentos, then sanctioned by Marie Christina, and now rejected by Madame Munoz. You will also see the reason for removing from the Constitution the ar ticle which compelled the budget to be annually pre sented to the Cortes, for who could dare to present to that assembly a document in which was included an in crease to the public debt of a milliard of reals to fulfil the conditions of the infamous contract of the II th of October ? If Martinez de la Rosa showed himself so anxious to close the field of public discussion; if Narvaez attacked the Deputies with a bayonet in his mouth; if all these Seids showed themselves so bold and so auda- cious; if it throws the whole of Spain into trouble and alarm; if they wish to destroy from the foundation the constitutional edifice, you will now comprehend the rea son. This inexplicable necessity is thus explained by the projects which are already decided upon. " And all this, be it known, and let the French press repeat, is done with the avowal of the French Govern ment. Everything was arranged when Christina re turned to Spain. In the absence of the Chambers let public opinion come to the aid of this unhappy country; let not your liberals be under illusion, and let them not be deceived by the deceitful calm around them. Counter revolution will not be confined within the Pyrenees; once installed in Madrid it will soon reach Lisbon, and the spirit which animates it will not stop there. The English Tories do not combat it, they regard it with a smile ; an embarrassment for us is profit for them. Conspiracy is not local; it is European, and the first prize of the suc cess of this reaction will be the recognition of the nor thern Powers. I can therefore cry out to you with all ivy strength, Tea res agitur.'" The Con.ytitutionnel gives no credit to the report of a marriage between the QUEEN and the son of Don Cmtr,os. "We do not believe," it says, " matters are so far advanced. There really exists a desire on the part of Queen CHRISTINA, of the POPE, and of the northern Powers to conclude such a marriage, but the will of Don CARLoS opposes an impediment." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers The Cofitutionnel says - m "On Sunday and Saturday dispatches arrived, which the Ministry has not thought fit to publish. They were relative to the state of Gallicia, and the movement of the troops sent to prevent and put down the Pronuncia mientos, which threaten to burst forth in several pro vinces. According to our information, great agitation continues to reign at Madrid and in the provinces. The Captains-General of several military districts demand an augmentation of force. The Government finds it impos sible to strip Madrid, where there are, however, 25,000 or 30,000 men."
