We received this morning the Paris P. -rs o Monday. There is no fresh intelligence respect. ing the question between Russia and Turkey, bu the accounts from Spain are somewhat interest. ing. A private letter from Madrid, of the 23d, states that the insurgents in Catalonia and other quarters have been defeated, and that in the sittings of the Cortes of the 20th, 21st, and 22c1 ultimo, numerous petitions were presented from the mi litia of Madrid and almost all the provincial towns, offering to march against the insurgents. One of them waii signed by General RIEGO In the Sitting of the 22d, as a volunteer. the Cortes rejected, after a very animated discussion, by a majority of 82 to 48, the project of Martial Law proposed by the Special Commission for the repression of insurrection.— It was opposed on the ground that it vested too great a power in the hands of the Government, and was compared to a" two-edged sword," which, though well calculated to subdue the resent evils, might be used as a powerful instrument against the Patriots and the liberties of the country. The Special Commission, however, was instructed to propose other measures, and to submit to the Cortes in a few days a new project of law, " as severe and energetic as the former, but the appli cation of which could only reach the Serviles and the foes to liberty." On the same day the Cortes passed a resolution by a majority of 103 to 2, declaring " that they have seen, with sovereign displeasure, the neglected state in which the Government has left the Navy ; and that the responsible Minister shall be required to account for his conduct in not haNing carried into execution the Decree of the Cortes of the 14th of May, 1821." An ar ticle from Pampeluna re-asserts that the KING has ordered an army of 30,000 men to march immediately to the Pyrenees in three divisions, to be commanded by Generals BALLASTEROS, MINA, and the Marquis of LAZAN.

The only news we have from that quarter is the fre quent military revolts at Monte Viedo, and the arrival in this River of a French squadron, bound, it is said, to the Pa cific. The Commander of this squadron thought proper to address a letter to our Government, in which, under instruc tions from his Government, he asks the suppression of priva. teering; and the answer he received was, that privateering had already been suppressed.'

[From an Upper Canada Paper, May 11 Advices from Newfoundland describe that Colony to be in a state of extreme distress. Among the lower orders, it is said, few are able to support themselves. Many, it was feared, would perish for want. The Governor has intimated that a sum equal to that raised by the Colonists would be contributed by the Government. The Motion for the Renewal of the ALIEN ACT is a proof that Mr. PEEL looks at this Coun try, and all Europe, with the eye of a vigilant and profound Statesman. It is estimated that the number of Foreigners now in this Country amounts to about 25,000, but we believe that they far exceed that number. When it is consi dered that the spirit - of reform and revolution is prevalent all over the world, but particularly in Europe, we have too much reason to remem ber the words of the Poet : " LONDON ! the needy villain's general home, " The common shore of Paris and of Rome, " With eager thirst, by folly or by fate, " Sucks in the dregs of each exhausted State." The authority of all Continental Governments is at . present doubtful and precarious, and even their very existence, in a great degree, depends on the expulsion of dangerous characters from their respective countries. Such characters have too often found a shelter here, and they area pt to insinuate their revolutionary doctrines, if they fear openly to avow them, wherever they go. The Nation, therefore, may well rejoice that a man of Mr. PEEL'S station in society, who stands in no need of official emoluments, should be thus ani mated by public spirit, and induced to accept of place for the chief purpose of serving his country ; and that he possesses talents, knowledge and ac tivity calculated to render him one of the most useful, efficient, and distinguished supports of the national honour and security.---The proposed renewal of the ALIEN BILL is, indeed, a measure of essential importance to the safety of the State, for we have domestic traitors enough among us, and therefore cannot too vigilantly guard against their co-operation with the dregs and off scourings of other countries ; happy are we, there fore that the measure is in such able hands as those of Mr. PEEL. The attempts which have long been made by foreigners to entrap the artizans, manufacturers, &c. from this country, have long been a subject of complaint, but the practice exists to a greater degree than our Government seems to be aware of, and the miserable victims who are thus en snared are suffering under the most inhuman op pression. We have inserted a letter in our fourth page this day, from an old Correspondent, to whom we have been indebted for many valuable communications. It holds out a lamentable warning to the lower classes of our Country, who might be tempted to carry their ingenuity, skill, and knowledge into a foreign • State, where they will be employed no longer than they are wanted, and exposed to severe ill-usage, even while they are necessary to their avaricious and unfeeling master, who will dismiss them without resource when their services are no longer required.—Our Correspondent gives the name of the person from whom our credulous countrymen have experienced this barbarous treatment, but we suppress it, in the hope that our Government will deem it an act of duty to bestow its most vigilant attention on this subject from motives of common humanity, as well as on the ground of national policy, more particularly at the present moment, when we seem to be threatened with the enaction of measures which threaten the de struction of our commercial greatness as well as of those naval bulwarks which made us the glory of this country and the arbiters of mankind. The celebrated mineralogist, Abbe HAuY, died at Paris, in his house at the Jardin du Roi, on Saturday last. The prorogation of Parliament will, it is un derstood, not take place before the middle of July. The business before it might easily be terminated earlier; but. it k said that Ministers wish to prolong it, in order to prevent the KING from going abroad, which he cannot do till the Session concludes. The expences which must be incurred by the Royal travels are considered extremely objectionable in the present distressed state of the country.--(The Times.) Directions have been given to hold in readi ness the Royal State barges to-morrow at Vaux hall-bridge, by ten o'clock in the morning, whence the KING and a numerous suite, among whom are the Duke of YORK, the Prince and Princess of DENMARK, the Prince and Princess ESTERIIAZY, the Lords of the Admiralty, and many other distinguished personages, will pro ceed by water down the river to view the Docks. Should the present favourable weather continue, , the ships in the riv er , w ith co l ours fl y i ng, w i ll present a splendid appearance upon the occasion. (British Press.) Sir F. BUItDETT is said to have again visited Mr. HUNT, at Ilchester Gaol, with a view to obtain some further information relative to certain transactions in the Gaol, elicited during the late investigations, whereon the Honourable Baronet intends to ground another motion in the House of Commons. Mr. HUNT has ordered half a ton of hisfamous breakfast powder, packed in half pounds, to be sent as his Subscription for the relief of the suf fering Irish; five hundred weight has been ship ped for Cork, and five hundred weight for Limerick. This will afford three meals a day for a week, of wholeseme and nutritious food, to 2,240 persons, at half a pound each.—(Bath Ga zette.) FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

His Lordship instantly and most willingly consented; and it was fixed that the Con cert shall be given on the 12th inst., under the direction of Sir George Smart, and under the immediate sanction of the Lady Mayoress, the Dowager Duchess of Rutland, the Duchess of Wellington, the Marchioness of Salisbury, the Marchioness of Lansdown, &c. &c.

From a Weekly Periodical Paper now publishing in Glasgow, called " THE PROTESTANT." AN OLD STORY VERSIFIED. A careful shepherd had a flock Of thriving sheep— . his only stock : Their pasture he with walls surrounded. As wolves throughout the land abounded. Great were his pains, his labour long, To make the barrier high and strong ; Yet often, as he went to sleep, The wolves broke in and slew the sheep. At last he finds his work complete, No entrance left but at the gate ; His flock protected and at peace, Began to flourish and incre a s e : Till, full of years and honest pride At his success—the shepherd died. A son succeeded, mild and kind, Of liberal and gentle mind, Who wish'd, indeed, to save the sheep, And yet the wolves in humour keep. Him the submissive brutes petition To pity their forlorn condition • Of their primeval rights denuded, And from the pasturage excluded, They vow'd, they swore, their alter'd mind To sheep had long become so kind, They would'n't put a tooth or foot on The choicest, fattest leg of mutton. Their ancestors, they all confessed, Of harsher notions were possessed ; Had often broke the shepherd's wall, And made the sheep in thousands fall ; Spread and death and desolation round, And stain'd with blood the blushing ground. But they, kind souls, h a d ot h er kidneys, As noble as Sir Philip Sidney's. Mild as Melancthon, they would keep And help to feed this flock of sheep. The shepherd, fearing such a trial, 'Was resolute in his denial ; Till, byfalse friends extremely puzzled, He let the wolves in strongly muzzled. Pared from each foot was ev'ry claw, And twenty straps bound up each jaw : Each wolf was forced an oath to pass, He would eat nothing there but grass. The wall was levelled, and the meeting 'Twixt wolves and sheep was graced with greeting : One would suppose, through all the plain The golden age was come again ; Sheep join'd with wolf hard names to call The builders of the levell'd wall. A few bold watchmen dared to cry Against this frightful novelty, And said it soon would come to pass, That wolves would think all flesh is grass, And, in their plenitude of power, The silly feeble sheep devour. These warnings all are given in vain, Within the fold the wolves remain: ,The watchmen meet contempt and hate, As " born two hundred years too late ;" Vile bigots, who, for private ends, Would disunite the new-made friends. Meantime, the claws which had been cut Grew strong and sharp on every foot ; Some of the straps are old and worn, And others from the muzzle torn : Slender and few those that remain Give tenfold discontent and pain; Till, as an useless, galling " brand," `They're all drawn off with gentle hand. Then starts the shepherd from his sleep, Resolv'd to save the trembling sheep; Suspicion chews, and late takes care New straps and muzzles to prepare. • But vain is all precaution now, The grim wolf knits his horrid brow ; The muzzle he rejects with sdorn— 'And on that melancholy morn Destruction rages through the fold, The sheep are slaughtered, young and old. In vain for help the shepherd cries, Amidst his butcher'd flock he dies, And curses, in his hapless fall, THE DAY HE MOVED ISIS FATHER'S WALL. Sat Sapienti Verbum.

HORTON, Esq. President, in the Cha'r, assembled at the Old Cock Inn, to avow and to record their veneration for the memory of that illustrious Statesman, the Right Honourable WILLIAM PITT. It is impossible to express the devotion of all present, to the memory of the Great Patriot, which was shewn in every way that can best denote gratitude and sincere esteem. This Club is increasing in numbers, and the attendance, which was most respectable, would have been still larger, had it not been for the unavoidable absence from home of many Members.

The anniversary was celebrated at Sheffield,- Huddersfield, Scarborough, Manchester, Lancaster, Blackburn, Bolton, Bir mingham, Leicester, and numerous other places in the kingdom, with that harmony and conviviality which the occasion could not fail to inspire. And it is highly gratifying to the adher ents of Pitt to witness and indulge so ardent andgeneral an im pulse and to manifest, by joining in a tribute to his memory,an unshaken attachment to those principles which have been so firmly established by that truly great man, as to uphold the Sovereign and the country amidst the unparalleled shocks of the stormy and perilous periods we have witnessed.
