connexions ,s human reason can calculate. Here, then, are additional reasons for desiring that this war may not break out.—But of what weight are reasons! All that we can promise our readers is, that they shall be in possession of events as they arise. [.From the Constitationncl.] Between two arid three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the Syndics of the Exchange-agents ap peared on the Exchange., and declared that the llews from Spain was more favourable, that it was ascertained that the Infants of Spain would not lle put on their trial for the affair of July 7, and that even an .amnesty was granted to all those who had been accused in consequence of the vents of that day. Lightning is not more rapid than was the effect of this semi-official communication. The funds immediately rose to 88, and after. the Exchange 'they were in demand at 90. Such is the most striking answer to all the adventurers of counter revolution, who for eight days had been uttering . cries for war, and who rejected all peace with Spain as a concession to 'liberal principles. But this was not enough. The Etoile of Tuesday evening, obliged to beat a retreat, instead of secretly devouring the humiliation to which its =retrograde march reduced it, still ventures to insult the - constitutionalists, who have always considered war as a scourge for France, and who have dared, even under the harrassing fire of 'daily prosecution's, to maintain that peace was a tylessins,r. We have received to-day, by express, news from Madrid up to the. 6th at noon, and the . amnesty spoken of is not then announced. All that we learn from them,-after an attentive read - ing of the most ardent speeches in the Cortes, is . that the names of the King and of the Princes . were never once mentioned in these political din, .cussions. It is only from certain French Journals, -such as the Etoile, that -we learn that there was -ever any question of implicating then in any legal proceeding. We are far, however, from wishing to reject any news announcing a sincere reconciliation among .the Spanish Patriots. The Constitutionalists at all times have been equally opposed to Ministerial despotism, absolute - power, or the inquisition. They are, therefore, all equally odious to the fanatical advocates of counter-revolution : and 'the very divisions which have broken out in Spain are, perhaps, the work of men who can no more pardon the friends of the Constitution of 1822, than the framers of it in 1812. • For the rest, the Etoile, which two days ago was boasting that •the rebels of Urgel were figuring in its-ranks,-announces to-day, as a very fortunate event, that thejudicial,prosecutions in Spain would be directed against none but the eleven military taken with arms in their hands. - What appears to us equally probable with the news from Spain is, that the news from Ve rona of the sth of November does not confirm all those hostile symptoms that were believed to exist, or that were wished to exist, in the private . letters of October...3'h Moreover we - had asserted that the rumour of • war had -depressed public credit—that a single .pacific word would promptly recover it. Our adversaries, on the contrary, maintained that war would 'raise the funds. They have called 'for war with all their heart; we have protested • against it with all our strength. .Let the world now judge'between the Consti •tutionalists and the friends of counter-revolu tions. France will know who they are that wish 'for disturbance—who they are that wish for repose. -The following is the last night's postscript of the hitherto warlike Etoile. After having first announced that a complete amnesty was announc ed, it adds— ,..Cornmerciai-letters, received this morning - in Paris froth Madrid, announce that on the 2d the visit to the prisons took plate with the formalities prescribed by the laws. The pri sorrers being interrogated, multiplied charges against the fiscal Parades. All the-vouchers for the suit (dossiers) were lull of inaccuracies and irregularities. " The visiting magistrates - prepared from them a proces ver bal, and addressed reproaches to the fiscal, Parades, so severe, that be found himself s 9. ill that he could not assist at the visit. Other letters of the 7th of November say, that M. Parades has been suspended from his functions; that the.list of his pro scriptionS has been annulled, and that prosecutions sill be directed only against-11 military men taken With arms in - their hands on the 7th of July."* As to what relates to M. Parades, and the Mi nisters accused by him, the -following is an ex tract of the Report made to the Cortes .on the 6th by the Special Commission, at the instance -of M. Garelly, Ex-minister. It will be seen that the only question related to the incompetence of the-fiscal, without formally pronouncing on the merits of M. Garelly. ',Here the Constitutionnel gives a brief but accurate abstract of the Report, which will be found more fully in our article un der the head of " Spain:" I We see with pleasure that our adversaries, hi therto so hard to be pleased, find, in a piece of •this . kind, a motive for concord between the two countries, the very idea of which, a few (lays .ago, was criminal in their eyes. We are not ac customed .to see their humoUr so easy and accom .modating, and we sincerely congratulate them on . a conversion which we were- far from expect ing. To conclude, a .private letter which has just been communicated to us, and which comes from good authority, would lead us to presume' that certain pretensions on Majorca, sufficiently disagreeable to a great maritime power, have no Ic . ss contributed to these pacific news than the dis grace of the Fiscal of Madrid. Vie are assured that explanations have been -demanded on the subject of the expression Re gency of Spain, used in speaking- of the Ou'vrard loan (now the Rougemont loan), seeing that the French Government hitherto has recognised but one Government in Spain—the Royal Govern ment at Madrid.—(Constitutionnel.) [From the Journal (le Paris.] An official prospectus has given confirmation to the news which we just published respecting the loan proposed by M. Ouvrard on account of the Regency of Urgel. We were also correct in stating, that the amount of the loan was four millions of hard piastres (the piastre of .sf. 45c.) It might at first be supposed that the news of the conclusion of such a loan was well calculated to give consistency to the reports which have been lons o :eres * The .21f4iteur of Wednesday and the other Ministerial ...kmrnals, copy this paragraph in a :Try prominent manner. or many days: but hitherto nothing has occurred to prove that the loan has been com pleted. It is only certaiu that an appeal has been made to the capitalists; and it may be supposed that they, taking a lesson from the account of the changes, will demand guarantees of repayment more certain than the triumphant bulletins of the Regency of Urge', which represented Castelfolit to be an impregnable position as long as it was not attacked, and who, now that it has been taken by the troops of the King of Spain, declare it to be an unimportant-place. We are fully persuaded that the proposed loan is not supported by any official guarantee ; be cause, in fact, no pledge of that nature could be given by any constitutional Government before the Chamber had assembled, and the Budget had been voted ; and, on the other hand, there is not the same security in the guarantee of an absolute Government. Therefore, the prospectus of M. Ouvrard appears to us likely to experience the fate of many other prospectuses with which the capital is inundated every day. The had effect, however, that it will produce, will compel our Sinking Fund to hasten its operations. A Journal has noticed the absence of the Pre sident,of the Council from the diplomatic dinner by the Maitre &Hotel of the King. This cir cumstance is unfortunately too well accounted for by the death of the father of the Minister to per mit of any political conclusions being drawn from it. We believe that the correspondent of the Echo de la Sarthe has been too hasty in stating that certain individuals would play distinguished parts at the opening of the next session. The obstinate silence of the Mondeur may at length re ceive a favourable interpretation ; for if it has merely been desired, during six days, to consult public opinton on a grave question, as that opi nion has been clearly expressed, perhaps the re sult will be definitive against those persons, who can never expect to obtain the public approba tion in favour of violent measures. If this be the explanation of the enigma which has inte rested every body during several days, we can not but return thanks to the Minister who has provoked or permitted the experiment. P.S.—The rise of the funds confirms the conjectures which we have hazarded in the above article. It is now proved that the warlike tone of certain JournalS was all to no purpose. The dupes whom they have made may thank them for the loss of their money; the violence of the Journal des Debuts is abated, and the constitutional writers, who never ceased to rely upon the wisdom of the King, have found all their hopes realized. Can it be a question, after the experience of the past, which party entertains the most pacific, most loyal, or disinte rested intentions ? This is truly the age of dupes, for the journals at 'least; their after-thoughts have been exposed, and henceforth we shall know what credit is to be given to the declarations of certain papers who, under the pre tence of a desire for peace, would disguise their cruel indifference for the misfortunes of the Greeks. Deaf to the voice of ,religion, and blindly opposed to every species of li berty, they have endeavoured ,to excite war in the South, whilst they affected to dread it in the West. Religion s ill doubtless be as fortunate as liberty ; one will be assisted by the efforts which were prepared against the other—at least we hope so. As to the domestic consequences of the crisis which has passed, let us hope that they will henceforth induce a certain party, whilst pursuing their absurd detires, to respect the Royal wisdom, and the honour of the French nation. We received last night a letter from Bayonne, dated the 7th of November. The following are the most interesting particulars which it sup- plies :--- " Quesada is still here; .it appears that he no longer desires to proceed to take the command of the Army of the Faith in Navarre, and that Charles O'Donnell also refu ses t o tak e the command of IL We understand, however, that thiSpart of the insurgent force is completely, dispersed since . the • affair of 'Los Arcos. All the peaSants who composed part of It have return. ed to their homes, and refuse again to quitthem. The soldieis who lcft,France to join,this corps are in reduced numberg . on the enreme frontiers near Irati, and we expect them here soon. All thepreparations which were being made in Bayonne for the supply of the Army of the Faith have stopped since Que sada arrived 'here." The Quolidienne labours hard to show that the rise in the funds is to be attributed to the mere natural force of circumstances, and not to a ministerial intimation, and consequent belief on the Exchange, that there is to be no war. It exerts itself to -show that war with Spain ought to give stability tok i rench credit, 'lotto weaken it. The Moniteur of Wednesday contains a Royal Ordinance, the object of which is to conciliate the military : it bestows some privileges of pay on such soldiers as shall volunteer to continue their services after the expiration of their regular term, which the ordinance calls a laudable devo tion to the state. The Monitcur quotes the article from the Etoile (referred to above), and ascribes the rise in the funds to the news contained in it having been communicated to the exchange brokers on the previous day. A private letter from Madrid of the ith inst. is given in the Journal de Paris. In noticing the abandonment of the prosecutions for the affair of the 7th of July, it says— " Although this important decision has been principally owing to the appeal of some of the persons arrested, yet, if we may believe the reports in circulation .on the .subject, consider ations of high importance, submitted by certain foreign agents accredited to our Court, have been the more immediate cause. Malevolence alone has spread there, as it no doubt has done in other places, alarmingreports respecting the safety of the Princes. Observing the accusations directed by the Fiscal against persons of high official employments, it has been inferred that the Infantas would be attainted in their turn. I can assure it has never been contemplated to put them in accusation.— I may even add, that the thought has never presented itself to any of the existing authorisies—i. e. the present Ministry.— There has been a trifling commotion here, apparently directed against the person s i n cus t o d y , b ut the authorities having time ly inforniation, the assemblage scarcely amounted to twenty persons, of whom the greater number were promptly arrested and conveyed to prison. The affair was so unimportant, that on the following day it was not known in several quarters of the city." PARIS, Nov. 13.—A Council of Ministers was held to-day at M. de Villele's. When the Council broke up, a Messenger was dispatched to Verona. The Marshal Duke of l3elluno, Minister at War, arrived to-day from his country seat to Menais. His Excellency assisted this evening at the Council which w.ls held at M. de Villele's. The revolutionary journals announce to-day as a thing nearly certain, that some changes are about to take place in the Ministry : they even go so far as to mention the Ministers who have tendered their resignation. It is obvious that these absurd rumours are intended merely to affect the elections ; but, doubtless, the electors will not be the dupes of the manoeuvre, which is too palpable todeceive any one.—(illoniteur.) Yesterday evening, at an earlier hour than was appointed, the King transacted business with the Minister of Marine. In the morning his Majesty tranPncted business successively with M. the Marquis de Lauriston, Minister of the Household, the Count Corbiere and M. de Villele. The king did not go out. HAGUE, Nov. 10. The following is the Message sent by his Ma jesty to the Second Chamber of the States- General, with the project of a Commercial Code for the kingdom of the Netherlands : " To accelerate, as much as possible, the introduction of a national legislation, we send to your High Mightinesses the project of a Commercial Code for the kingdom of the Nether lands, divided into projects of Law (Bills). " This important work was originally entrusted to lawyers • of great eminence, and well versed on this subject, who, pro fiting by their own experience, and by the commercial laws, both of our own country and of foreign nations, drew up a code, which, after the happy change in the order of things, having been altered in some points has received the approba tion of the Committe e s, w hi c h, i n the two great divisions of the kingdom, have considered and judged of it?' (The Message proceed x to state, that besides the two books now presented, there was a third, but as that book relates to matters connected with the general organization of the tribu nals, which is now under discussion, it is withheld for the pre sent, having in fact no necessary connection with the other two books.) BRUSSELS, Nov. 7.. SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL. The Minister of Finance brought down the project of law, regulating the second part of the Budget of the expences of the kingdom for 1823. It is ranged under two sub-divisions, amounting, the first to 15,888,380 florins ; the second to 9,6;13,579 florins. The Decree of the Governor-General of our East India possessions for the purpose of facilitating and en couraging the trade of these countries, is now published at length.: the following are abstracts of the principal articles:— " 1. All goods being the produce of places in the Eastern Archipelago, under the Government of the Netherlands, or in the territory of Indian Princes, and people in amity with that Government, may be imported into Java and Madura, entirely free of import duties when brought by Netherland ships, or. native vessels, placed .on the same footing, directly from the: place where they were produced, and without touching at any fbreign port.—But, " 2. If brought by foreign ships, or even by Netherland or native vessels, not direct, and not without touching at a foreign port (as well as all other goods not comprehended in Art. 1), they are to pay the regular duties on importation into Java and Madura. " 3. The general export duty on goods for Java shall be 2 per cent. ad valorem, estimated by the current market price, whether exported in Netherland or foreign ships, or to a Ne therland or foreign port ; thos e g o o d s .b e i ng excepted respecting which special regulations are, or may be made.

The remaining articles, making 17 in all, relate to the Coast.. ing Trade of Java and Madura, and to that of the other pos sessions,of the Netherlands in India. FRANKFORT, Nov. 7.- 7 -The news from Greece is still con tradictory. Earlier accounts from Thessaly stated th a t J ussu f Aga had arrived at Larissa with the Turkish garrison of the citadel of Corinth, and added that the Turks and Chourschid Pasha himself were greatly surprised at the scrupulous fidelity with which the Greeks had observed the terms of the capitula tion ; but there are now accounts from Larissa, of the 13th of; October, which make no mention whatever of the arrival of, Jussuf Aga and the garrison of C or i n th ; an d i t i s t h ere f ore apprehepded that the news of the surrender of that fortress, which would be so important to the Greeks, was premature.— If, hOiYever, it be true, as reported from Belgrade, that Chour- schid had left Larissa and retired to Bitoglia, the Turks, who may still be in the Citadel of Corinth, can hardly hope to be relieved. NaiSTERDA st, Nov. 12.—Exchszge on London, 39 11 to 39 10-:—Two months, 39 9. . . FRANKFORT, Nov.' 8.-Ve now know by authentic ac counts from Marseilles of the'2.7th October, that the Volunteers ,or Philhellenes have met with no - .hindrance , whaieitr in em barking fOr Greece. The whole story from Freiburg. has. no other foundation in truth th an th at some , who lately were on their way were refused. admittance to the French territory, on the supposition that the embarkation. for Greece would not take place. FRONTIERS OF ITALY, OCT. 28.—8 y the post of to-day we received the latest accounts from Greece, by priVate com munications from the coast of the Adriatic Sea. They confirm the preeeding information that we had obtained, and add some new particulars. The combined Greek squadrons, they say, really have taken, many Turkish ships of war by an able manoeuvre, cutting them off from the rest of the fleet, which could not prevent it.-- Seven Turkish ships were taken on the 27th September, and the Turks in their subsequent retreat to the Dardanelles burnt several themselves, which could not keep the sea, to prevent them falling into the hands of the Greeks. There is no news of the arrival of the Turkish fleet in the Dardanelles ; nor is there any truth whatever in the report which has been industri .ously spread of their having landed troops at N a p o li d e Roma nia, the garrison of which has derived no advantage from the fleet,except a supply of provisions, part of whi c h, h owever , f e ll into the hands of the Greeks. The friends of the Turks them selves are now convinced that the place must surrender. That the Greeks are again in possession of Corinth and strictly block ade Patras we knew before. A later account affirms that the Turkish corps which was assembled near Corinth, and which is estimated at 5,000 good troops, had succeeded in passing the isthmus, and had taken. up an advantageous position in the South of Livadia, in expectation of reinforcements from Thes sally and Negropont. At Negropont the Turks were nume rous,' and eager to fight. A Moreote corp s was a d vanc i ng f rom Corinth into Livadia to attack the Turks. The following are the latest accounts from Epirus :—Arta is still in the possession of the Turks. Prevesa, Parga, and the other fortresses situated on the coast, have like wise Turkish garrisons ; and, on the land side, are either not blockaded at all, or very inefficiently. The Pacha of Scu tari had endeavoured to reconcile himself with the Porte by the mediation of Omer Brione; but not receiving any favourable assurances, he continued his armaments, and acted in concert with the Montenegrins. It is not known whence he draws the considerable funds which he has at his disposal. AUGSBURGII, Nov.A.—llis Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Sweden passed through this city yesterday, on his re turn for Italy. The division made by Maurocordato from Acarnania against Thessaly is more serious than was at first supposed. All the Greek troops which at first seemed destined against Arta have marched towards Pyrrha, and again threaten Tricola, while the well-known Diamanty has taken up a position at Alapona, in Eastern Thessaly. All these movements harrass Chourschid Paella, who lately advanced from Larissa for Thomako, with intention of again penetrating into Livadia. A Turkish body of reserve is on the Peneus. We have no particulars of the further operations in those parts. BUCHAREST, OCT. 6.—This morning the ringing of all the bells announced the entry of Prince Ghika, who heard Mass in the Church of St. Spindioni, and then entered the city in great state, amidst an immense concourse of people. After all the Corporations, Guilds, &c. had passed, came twelve Arabian stallions, richly adorned with gold and silver; and then followed the Prince, riding on a fine Arabian stallion, surrounded by all the great men of the country, wearing the hat and the sable pelisse presented him by the Sultan. It was a magnificent sight; joy animated every countenan ce , and the people saluted the Prince with enthusiasm ; the two Princes, his sons, accompanied him. The Prince then ascended the Throne, wearing the Kuga on his head, and the Finnan of the Sultan was read by the Divan Effendi, first in the Turkish and then in the Wallachlan language ; but on ac count of the great distance we could not understand a word of it; only, as the name of the Pacha of Silistria was mentioned several times in the Erman, we conclude that he is to have sonic share in the affairs of Government. The entrance of the Austrian Consul, who Immediately pre'. ceded the Prince, his spread: universal joy. The Boyars are gradually returning, the houses are repairing, the warehouses opened, everywhere new animation is evident, and the good cha racter of the new Prince promises to this desolated country a return of prosperity, for which we shall be indebted to the wis dom of the Sovereigns. SPAIN. 3IADRID, NOVEMBER 7. On the Ist instant, as soon as the routine bu siness which takes place at the opening of the Sittings of the Cortes had been gone through, a letter from the Minister of Grace and Justice was read, stating that Don Nicolas Garelli, late Se cretary of State, had addressed a memorial to the King, praying that his Majesty would be pleased to refer the same to an Extraordinary Cortes. " In this memorial (says the Spanish Papers) Senor Garelli states that he has learned, as a public and notorious fact, that it has been resolved:to imprison him and the other Secretaries of State who were in office with him in the latter end of June and the Ist of July, in virtue of the precautions considered ne cessary by the Fiscal, who directs the investigation into the affair of the rebel Guards who left their quarters and entered hostilely into the capital on the morning of the 7th of July ; and that the pretence for this intended imprisonment is founded on the conduct observed by the said late Secretaries of State on those occasions. lie also observes, that, far from fearing the result of any process, he is most desirous that his guilt or in nocence should be clearly and distinctly manifested : but the constitution has pointed out how and when prosecutions are to be carried on against Secretaries of State before the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, which are duly to take place when the Cortes declare that there is ground, as in other criminal causes, for instituting a process—the which explanation is presented to the Cortes in order that they may be pleased to take into their considerrtion this important point, and decide as to them shall seem good. " His Majesty has thought fit to submit the above memorial to the deliberation of the Cortes Extraordinary, who are ex pressly authorized to take the same into consideration." The Secretary having asked, whether it was intended that the memorial should be referred to a committee, Senor Sanehes thought it unnecessary to appoint a particular committee, as the memorial might with propilety be referred to the committee already specially appointed on the affair of the 7th of July. Senor Adan was of opinion that no committee was necessary. It was necessary for the Cortes in the first place to determine whether there was ground for proceeding. He did not think they were yet in a situation to take cognizance of the business. It was true that Senor Garelli had held the situation of Secre tary of State, butlie was also to be considered in that of a pri vate individual. Senor Canga observed, that for that very reason the matter ought to be referred to a committee. It was said that the me morialist was now in the character of a private individual ; but that was what happened to every Minister on his re signing. The President stated his opinion to be that the memorial might be referred to the Committee of Legislation. Senor Arguelles supported the opinion of Senor Canga. lie concluded by saying, that theonly security which now existed in Spain for a Deputy, a Minister, or any public officer, is, that the Nation will not abandws any man who may hare the misfortune to be placed in such a situation as Senor Garelli. After some further debate, it was ordered-that the memorial ant, the letter of the Minister of Justice should be referred to a special committee. The following Deputies were chosen for the committee :—Senores Santafe, Tejeire, Baiges, Calderon, Salva, Villanueva,-and Garoz. On the 2d a document in justification of Senor Garelli, pre sented to the Cortex by his wife, was referred to the above com mittee. In the sitting of the sth the committee made their report, which is of great length, but the following is its substance : " After recapitulating the grounds of Senor Garelli's com plaint, and the particulars of the proceedings for constituting him prisoner, the committee state the principl:s of the law re specting infractions of the constitution to be that the Secretaries of State shall be atcoUntable to the Supreme Tribunal of Jus tice, but that it is necessary that the Cortes should previously declare that there is reason for instituting a process. " It is now asked whether, when a person who has been a Secretary of State is put upon his responsibility for acts done in his Ministry, the same rules are to be observed as if he were still in office. This admits of no doubt. The accused, under 'such circumstances, must be proceeded with as if he were ac.: tually a Minister. In the same manner as the Cortes acted in 1814, when a Deputy had failed in his duty of representative of the nation, the Supreme Tribunal of Justice ought now to act in taking cognizance of a charge against a late Minister for transactions connected with his official duties. The case would be very different, did the question relate to any common crime committed by a Minister while in office. The present charge is not like that of assassination, rape, or any injury which might be committed by a public man without any reference to his of ficial situation. The criminal code enacts various penalties against public officers for neglecting or wilfully delaying the execution of the laws, and also the redress which the public interest requires (articles 451 and 507). In various other ar ticles penalties are inflicted for not prosecuting delinquents, and against those who prejudice the public cause—against those who assemble to concert the means of opposing the laws, or who resist their execution, or take measures to frustrate them. The Minister who may have conspired against the security of the State, or the Political Constitution of the Monarchy however slight and however confined to himself the designs, must be guilty of all the above enumerated offences, and many others besides. From these premises the Committee deduce se veral axioms : "-1. That to require the responsibility of a Minister or of a person who has been a Minister, it is necessary that the Cortes, before any proceeding whatever, should declare that there are motives for instituting a process. " 2. That the Supreme Tribunal of Justice ought to take cognizance of the charge. " 3. That the same Tribunal has to take cognizance of all criminal causes relating to persons exercising the duties of Se- cretaries of State. " 4. That the crime of conspiracy in a Public Functionary, and more particularly in a Minister, never can be regarded as common and private, or considered separate from the questions which his official situation involves. " 'With regard to the complaint against the Fiscal Paredas, on the ground of incompetency and violation of the Constitu tion and the law, the Committee conceive that there is no rea son to enter into the consideration of these questions, as they are points on which the competent tribunal can decide.— Finally, the Committee confine themselves to suggesting, for the deliberation of the Cortes, as the ultimate result of their opinion— " That the documents be referred back to the Government, in order that the doubt which it is expected the Cortes should remove may be more regularly stated, and more explicitly ex pressed ; or that if the papers he not referred hack according to the nature of the case, that the Fiscal shall conform strictly to the Constitution and the laws, from which it is clearly to be deduced-1 Th a t a f ormer Secretary of State ought , ° a l : case of his being put on his responsibility, to be tie d ° t same manner as if h e were exerc i s i ng hi s office. 2 ' o f. public functionary can nev er b e p rocee d e d against for the. fence of conspiracy committed during the period of his W id/11 office, except in the quality of a functionary. " The Cortes will be pleased thus to resolve, or in other manner as to them may appear most proper."---Madri Nov. 4. On the motion of Senor Galiano, the report was ordere d f 9 be printed.
