VISI3ON,MAIL and SPANISH PAPERS. [RECEIVED THIS 'MORNING.] 14/5110N,Ancu 9.4.--The Sittings of the 'Cortes continue regularly, without presenting any thing very remarkable or interesting. In the Sitting of the 16th, the order of the day wan the Decree for the Abolition of Feudal Rights. The first- article relates GI personal services.— Some Deputies spoke of the oppression which, to their own knowledge, various parts of Portu gat.suffered ; for which reason they wished that all a , ach services, howev.er called, should be abo lished. in this debate, Senor Brito observing, that .these 'Services were founded on the right of property 3 Senor Bento Pereira do Carmo re . "I do not allow, and never will allow, 'that the Aiberty of man is the patrimony of any article,' and the second, were re ferred back to the Committee. :The Decree was finally discussed in the Sit tine., of the 20t1►, and it was finally passed. An in:.iet.-Inity is to be allowed for personal services arising .f:'om onerous titles. Senor Guerreiro observed, that on various oc ca:sions he had proposed that the events of the nth Auzust and the 15th September should be eeclared legal, arid begged a day might be fixed to discuss the Project and the additions that had been made to it. One of the Members of the Cotnmittee said, they had not the necessary do curne.nts to decide on the degree of merit of 'the ' various persons engaged in these events. After some debate, and an impressive discourse_ by Manuel Antonio de Carvalho, who thought on this when the inhabitants of the great city of -.- Lisbon come to manifest their sentiments of gra titude to the Sovereign Congress, it seemed pro per to solemnize it by the legitimation of the acts , on which the salvation of the country had de pearled, and to declare those well deserving who had concurred in those acts, leaving their . 'different services to be classed afterwards. Senor Guerreiro requested that they should proceed to the appel nbminal to declare the Acts of the 24th Aug. and 15th Sept. legal, which was unani -mouSli done; there being . 90 Members present. In the Sittings of the 21st and 23d, the expected arrival of his Majesty, or some other Members of the Royal Family, was mentioned', the• Go-. vernor of the Port of Lisbon' having asked • in structions how to proceed in case more than six . foreign vessels should arrive, and hoW he should - receive his Majesty. It was resolved, that if his . Majesty _should be accompanied by foreign ves - eels, their entrance into the port might be sus , peaded for a few hours, which Would be no.vio ' elation of any Treaty. :It was asked by some deputies, what should be done in case his Ma jesty, or other Royal personage, should refuse to lake the oath to the Constitution ; but it was an improbable case, and as the Cortes had declared themselves permanent on such an occasion, they would decide upon it. MADAID, MARCII . 4 0.-7 Our situation begins to 'grow interesting, - because questions of the highest • interest to the prosperity of this country are now • 'brought forward. This is the - time to give new . - and greater interest to the public papers by tak ing' part in their important debates and contribut . lag to the deciiions of the Weighty affairs, on the Emil regulation of which the consolidation of our • liberties essentially depends. 'We cannot refrain from making some observations on the project of 'the celebrated Vinueia, whose plan of conspiracy • 'has been read to the Cortes ; it is the most extraor dinary monument of stupidity and madness. The extravagant 'and ridiculous proclamations which :he forged in the'narne of Kutossi, Hogat, and -other *creatures of his imagination, are master pieces of wisdom compared with the famous plan of revolution which he meditated. According to this plan the operation was to commence by the .. /iing's laying an unworthy snare for his Ministers rand Counsellors in orthr to arrest them, with the assistance oldie Infant Don Carlos. This idea alone is a proof of the 'bareness . Of the ideas of the author; for in the first place.it supposes the 'King capable of breaking his most solemn oaths • arid promises, and then in co-operating in an in. famous deceit unworthy we will not say of the nobleinind . of the King only, but of every man is who not loaded with crimes and opprobrium. *The plot it - seems was to be communicated to none bet the. King, the Infant. Don Carlos, the Duke de 'lnfant - ado, and the Marquis de Castellos. When the King had enticed the Minislers• into the* Square; Don Carlos was to . enter' at the - head of a body of the guards, - and arrest therniall; . The D'ul:e de l'lnfantado was to place himself at the lead of a battall'on of the guards, stationed at .Legariei, which, with the regiment of the Prince, seas to occupy the gates - ef the City and the pub- lic places, and • invite the people to say Long lire Religion, the King, and the. Country Death to the' Constitution !' A new municipal Junta was to be formed, who were to go in pro cession to - overthrow' the Stone of the Constitur 'lion, and' to have that fundamental Statute burnt - by the . executioner. How could the author of 'the plan conceive that the Infant Don Carlos would lend himself to sncli, a plan, or that the Duke de l'lnfantado would have accepted the once assigned to him, or that lie .would have sliCceeded in it if he *had accepted it. . The a*frore plan, it is evident, could • never be ex ecuted, and it is therefore not necessary to ex .amine any of it, except the measures which he says . ought to be adopted, in case of . its.success. The sum and suhstance of the whole is, that - we ought to return to 'a state of despotism ; to the . InquiSition; the .Jesuits, the ethvery, of the-Press, and the like.—The whole plan and the'Report of the Conithittee, to whom it. 'vests referred; are ordered to 'be . piiiited.----(S 4 ,a7iish Papers - ,; /Lfar..:l4 22.) . . TIMBER DUTIES. TO THE RIOIIT HON. THOMAS WALL'iCt, &v. &c. Sin . --I take leaie most respectfully to inform you, that in your speech _and report to the douse of Commons of the 29th ult, on .the Timber Trade, as „stated in the Newspapers of the 30th ult., you.omitted,in your calculations, to make a pro vis:ort • for the fifty thousand,mcn and their families, which your proposed alteration of duties en Timber will deprive of profitable employment, and reduce to pauperism, viz. ten thousand seamen, twenty tlecusared shipwrighti and others, employed in providing and preparing materials fdr the build ing, repairing, eqUipping, &c.- of 200 thousand tons-of shipping, 10,000 manufacturers, and 10,000 agriculturists, necessary to supply them with clothing and food,fiaaking in the whole 50,000. From your own statement, I cslculate the quantity of Tim ber imported from British . America, to be 253 thousand load per annum ; this will reqiiire'abOut. 200 thousand tons of Bri tish shipping; but if that trade were protected, equal to its. alue to the State, it is fair to conclude, that it might be carried an nually to 400 thousand loads of • Timber, including masts and deals, and which would occupy about 300 thousand tons of shipping; but, as 1 said before,". make my calculationa from your own data of 253thpusayd loads, which employ about 200 thousand tons of shipping,. ten thousand seamen, and forty thousand other persons in this country, 'as aforesaid . ; I also mean to contend, that while our present national burthens re main undiminished, no' English ship can profitably compete with a foreign vessel fn the NOrtherre Timber' Trade, nor can: a man turned out of profitable ,employment by your proposed Measures, get"re-employed ina.ny other calling,, while our pre sea foreign policy continues, as .we are over. Sull in every branch of industry throughout the Empire. The following is, I. presume, a pretty fair statement of. the consequences of yout.propos:%Valteration in the duties ore Fo reign and Colonial Timber, viz.:-- . FOREIGN Tju3z..72.

This is the case with our Colonial Timber Trade still the Statesman- who omits to make those enlculations must al ways be Wandering for -correct data on which to found good measures for promoting his country's welfare.—Perhaps the folloWing extract from the United States' President's speech, just received, will convince you and your colleagues of your errors (as relates to your foreign policy,) mote than a practical pattiotie'Erigliihmen Can do :--,".Without : relying altogether on the precarious resources of Foreign Commerce, I am satis fied that internal Duties and Excies, with corresponding ports on Foreign articles of the same kind, would, without • irn-• posing any serious burthen on the people, enhance the price of produce, promote our manufanfitres, and augment the Revenue, atthe same that they made it more aeCure and permanent."--- The President saes the„value' of •carrying Trade .to hiS coup try, which it enjoys, and of whichOnitaSt India Charter and American Treaties deprive us. Still he is too wise to depend on .precarious Foreigie ,Comeneree, „beyond what necessity demands. Lk' our Mizasteri do the same;andiiiir Country will soon rise to prosperity. And I have to add, . that I was surprised that the ghost of the late great WM. Prrx, the great Father, the great ME evieex, his late colleague, and .the late great NELSON, did not riie up - ih battle array, and in an atti tude "Of defenee,,when you pronounced the words " that we had fifty thousand seamen more than were necessary," and spoke of destroying them and raising them again, as if that could be done with as much ease as a man would set up a- pack of, nine. pins, to knock dawn and put up again. The ground-work Of . this very ship - ping interest occupied the anxious care and eker cised the wisdom of our forefathers for ages, to the great ex- Pence of the nation: And are all to he destroyed by a dash of a pen, for the purpose of making experiments on a theory that neve: existed in practice, but among Barbarians, and in the minds of its authors ? For, why should we not have fifty thou sand seamen more now than in 1792, when we are one-third more poPulour,; and leave four times more national debt to paY, which requires four times more active• bees to gather- honey for the State, and why should shipping or any other property of the British Empire fe.el distressed, when our sources of wealth require five times our present population, ,and five times our Present idle shipping to do them justice.

A. few days will decide to which tirte ment most credit is due. The Report; .of the. Special Committee of the Spanish Cortes on the State of the Nation will be perused with consid erable interest. The following are extract's,:--:- " PARIS, Arm'. 2. " The accounts from Niples which have.sqc cesSively arrived for some days at Paris,. were of so strange dnature, and pfesented so many cop tradicationszand. incoherences, that the distrust theynaturallyexcited necessarily produced re serve in publishing . them: Now, however, all doubts aro removed . the Neapolitans have opened ,their gates to the Austrian, and yester day a'Sdiiii=official journal announced, on the authority of alelegraphic di4ttch, that the Aus trians',entered Napleg on the 23d of last month'.

It has been recognised nei ther by the people on whom its leader's reckoned, nor by the army .which they have in vain sought .to Mislead. Four days after it had commenced they proved unable to divert its course. -The revolution has already' turned against them. Events which the'y'did not suppose possible--the resistance of the Kiag—his refusal to receive la* from his subjects-:-the firm and bold mea sure of his" abdication—changcd the situation of our affairs. " TheDuchY of Savoy has remained at 'pettee, a stranger to all the public troubles: The city of Chamberry has been me naced by the want' of discipline in some of the troops, whose superior officers have always maintained the most prudent con. duct,. but• who Viere seduced by the deceitful promises of the Albeit= officers, entirely gained by the deteitful prothises of the Conspirators. tut the prudence of our Governor, Count Ab - dezeno, in removing these disaftbcted troops, has saved us Picini the dangers that menaced us. Yesterday the brave chtii setirs of Savoy were itssestbleti, when the Governor read to them the Proclamation of . the Duke of Genevois, amidst repeated cries of - Live the King,' and the acclamations of the people. " Orders haVe been issued to assemble at Chamberry .the provincial contingents of . the brigade of Savoy. At the head of thOe troops the Governor is confident, not only that he will Be able to maintain order in SavOy, but also that he will render iniricrtant service to the.xoyal cause. ,t‘ It is gratify,ing to be able to state, thitt - all those personwho nour4 by the, King with his esteem and confidence have rival led the zeal and activity of our Governor.

The revolters, - - without hoi4; 'Without resources, possess only the citadels of •.Slessandria, in which they have "shut up soldiers of arms, driven from them by the mass of their brethren in 'rairi; and some students, whose enthusiasm will soon be ex tinguished by fatigue and privation, as well at by their foresight of the lot that awaits them." • " FRANKFORT, MARCH 27. [EXTRACT. OF A PRIVATE LETTER.] 4 .‘ The arrival of Price Hardenberg at Rome was so unexpected, that his carriages were com pelled to wait for four hours-in the place d'Es pagne before suitable accommodation could be found for the first Minister of the Prussian Mo nnrchy. M. Niebuhr, the Prussian Minister ac credited at Rome, was ignorant of the arrival of Prince Hardenberg until he saw him. ;The Chancellor has held long conferences.. with M. Niebuhr and with M.

" VIENNA, MARcu 22. • " The troubles'of ‘Valiachia have rendered pre cautionary measures necessary on the part of our Government. Orders have been given to fortn.a corps of observation on the frontiers. The -regi ment of imperial hussars which was at Temeswar has already marched for that destination. All the corps of the Austrian army are about to be placed on the footing of active service. Our So verehyn's intention is to terminate the war as speedily as possible. The forces which we shall have in Italy in three weeks will amount to 150,000 men, and-will, besides, be reinforced' by Russian troops. There is now no longer any doubt on the success. of our arms in the kingdom of Naples. The resistance of the enemy was faint and insignificant on every point. The corps of the Prince. of •Ilesse Hornbourg had no Or ca sion to fight. All the prisoners which were takers afterwards sent ..to their homes.

The Special Conunittee.of the COrtes appolikt ed to consider of the intern Al-security of the na tion has made a report, throu,:;h the medium of Senor Calatrava, of which the following is the substance : 44 A systematic series of plots exist for the over- . throw of the constitution.' These plots are die reeted by a Supreme Junta, under which are secondary juntas. Central points for similar plots have been established by Spanish refugees, particularly at Bayonne and at Paris in the rue de Richelieu. Many rich members of the clergy take part in this coespiracy. It has skew' , itself openly on three occasions :-1. In the month of June last, when it was attempted to disturb the Session of the COrtes. 2. In the month of November, during the residence of the 'King - at the Escurial. 3. At the commencemeot of the present Session on the dismissal C of tinnis ters who had evinced so much zeal in the rnaiete nance of the new institutions.' The obfect these plots is the re-establishment of absolute power. It was proposed .'among the conspirator s to take possession of his Majesty's person, or e ve' to set up another in his place. The late Minis ters had traced, out all these machinations, and it was on that account that their going out of ( Alice was proclaimed as a triumph by the evil dispese' h But the plans of the conspirators have hithert° proved abortive, in consequence of the excellen t spirit of the army and the national m7litia• 46 Among . the docuthents in support o f this re pail is a plan ofaeounter-revolutian, in the hoPti writing of Vinuesa, and one: of his , ,,vising.

If your reasons prevail ,against Reason, and against practical experience of its-inutility, the best expedient will be, to assist you in your measures, in orler•the.sooner to cause the . evil to work its own cure,' with a view of being relieved from . our present crippled state, and of recovering our wonted energies.
