t~ tit May, 18013,. in all parts "Of the monarchy., At the sante moment) in the same mode, and without pre vintli. deliberation, proclaiming freely and spontane onsly Ferdinand VII. as their - only lawful king, most have affor , led the surest proof to all the na tions of Europe ot their constancy and irrevocable resolution. .This alone is superior to all clauseS and written docurnents. How e then, could the Con gress, who represent the,lirtnish people, depart in the smallest degree from their sovereign . mandate?* "- The Committee were also aware hew tar they ought .to be actuated by consider:Aliens with regard to foreign powers; but the Spanish nation is free and independent ; and "the Committee would hare com promised those invaluable rights, had they proceeded JD their labours with servility. The raw of- nations bad long established and consecrated this great principle,;-, that no nation had a right to interfere under any pretence in , the internal and domestic, re gulations of another. Spain has always been 'most scrupulous" in the observance of this salutary maxim. Her faithful ally can bear witness to this truth; for, in'the most Calamitous times of her revolutions, this principle was respe4ted by us and by all Europe : and at the most remarkable periods of her history, it may be seen with how much independence she ieted daring the prote&orate of Cromwell ) iti the restoration of her monarchy, and after the abdica tion of James 11. in placing Williat 111. on the throne. of England, under Audi limitations• which she. might have carried as far as she pleased, with 'Out any Other nation of Europe daring to contradict her: The dissolution of,all laws, and of all rights, by the French Revolution, was that alone which introduced the pernicious example of disregarding a policy so wise and so useful. The Committee, in their plan, have net introduced any of those sub versive principles which could cause alarm or dis quietude to other nations : but, at the same time, they could not forget, that Spain, which has been at all times the victim of the influence of foreign governments, ought now to destroy the , very. seeds of the many wars and dissensions which such fo reign influence produced." In the farther progress of the. debate the follow jug interesting account is given of the political Con stitution of Atte province of 'Navarre, antecedent to the Revolution The Senor PAESIDENT observed, that Ferdinand VII. had recognized and sworn to the sovereignty of the nation, with the greatest solemnity ; and to this it was owing that the, provincewith regard to which be took the oath, bad neither, in respect to its au thorities or its people, submitted to the intrusive 'Government, nor obeyed and circulated its orders, and what was called the COnstitution of Bayonne, as was done in other parts'of Spain. - 4 ' Your Majesty will perceive," said the President, '" that I here speak of the kingdom of Navarre, 'which I can never erase to recolleet without emo tion. In the general Cortes of that kingdom in 79a, which acknowledged • Ferdinand • VII as hereditary Prince, lie swore on the t Ith of Januaty, as did also the King his father, as his tutor, 'to observe and maintain all .the laws, ordinances, custoMs, and -usages of that Kingdom ; not to coin money with •ont the will and consent of -the Cortes ; not to miake Lim; but upon their proposition ; and the oath Concluded with the following remarkable words :- 1 Slould I ael contrary to What I have sworn, either in whole or in part,- then you, the three estates., and people of Navarre, are not bound to yield obedience in any way ; but the whole shall be null, void, and . .of no eti'eet.' Stich was the form of the .oath taken by our Kings in Navarre; as ancient as the origin of the menarety, and which has been followed with out interruption down to our days, its Cortes being held with a full attendance of members, ,their last meeting having been in the year 1800. la its consti. tution t he word Sovereign is not to be found, but that of King ; vassals are never spoken of, but subjeOs ; and, in tine-, the -Kings engage 'to maintain, ob serve, and guard,• the laws, privileges, customs, and usages ; in doing which, they- recognise the 'sovereignty of thole who made those laws. " Ltt us now shortly consider what effeds these privilege* produced upon the public authorities, and the people of that kingdom. ' When orders were cir culated in Castile for the aeknowledgment of the ' intruder Joseph ; when the public authorities there yielded to a cowardly and disgraceful manner • to the • arch:l..B of the tyrant Napoleon ; the Ceuri , • cil of Navarre, and the deputation kali) that king • -dam, though they.were in Pampoluna, of which a strong French garrison was in possession, tiotwith 'standing, replied, that they could not execute such commands ; for the choice of the Sovereign, and the establistitnent of laWs, were points' that belonged to the General Cortes alone ; that is, to the nation.— ' It is now three years since the Council of Navarre, to which I had the honour to belong,, sustained this terrible attack, which compelled us to abandon our homes and families to save our lives, in consequence of having .persisted in our refusal ; and as fiscal and defender of the lows and constitiviepi, found my self compelled'soleranly to protest against every in fraction of them. The only shield and support which the Council and Deputation of NaVarre then had, was a' convielion that all in that kingdom, even the 'very women, knew their privileges and their rights; and they , slimed that' they did so'atthe time. Such are the effects, of a clear and well-established con stitution.' After a eery long discussion, the first clause of this article was ended by t 2B votes against 24. The latter clause, (‘ and of adopting the form of government which it judges most suitable," aas re 3eolcd by 86 votes at : pion 63. //media tutissirmis.,Mis has been the apothegm which" wisely governed 'the Contra6tors of the pre sent Lottery.

The private, Letters received from the Coptinent by the last kith°lt Mail, are of the same vague and contradiaory. nature as those which have reached us for the last four months. We are told in some of them, that Use King of PRUS . SIA has 'resisted, and with. can, the demand made upon him by &ro- NAPARTE, to admit Erench garrisons , into some of his principal. fortifications. It is stated, that his Prussian Majesty bad been able-to raise an army of 140,06 men, and that BVONAPAR73 not choosing to commence hostilities against . such a force, aided by Russia, had desisted from his' &mud, and that all differences have been adjusted. We know not what degree of credit is to be given to this statement, but we are inclined to doubt it ; all the information which has reached us leads usto tbiek that a war will take place in the Mirth of Europe. We cannot, however, see, wittioUt the deepest regret, that RusSia is waiting in a war with T'ur'key, for comparatively unitnponant objetts, that -strength which should be employed to assist her indepen ., dence. Sir JAMES ShUMAREZ has, it is stated,giVen notice that he would sail with the convoy of the I,sth inst. - • The PRINCE REGENT, on the recommendation'uf the LORD LIEUTENANT, has promoted Dr. HALL, Provost . of Trinity College Dublin, to the vacant See of DrEGIOIE; and the Rev.

He has taken the exercise of walking in his suite of rooms to.clay. It was not the Duke of YOIIK 'who arrived here yesterday, but the.

The Infantry Soldiers serving in Portugal' are in future to, wear grey Oath pantaloons, with short gaiters of the Mlle colour; instead of breeches and leggings, as formerly, The Roscommon Regiment of Militia has taken the duty of Plymouth Garrison, They are a tine body of men, and the Officers extremely polite and affable. Th e Royal Lancashire went thtough the ma-, ticzuvres of a field day and sham fight at Viymoath Dock on Tuesday. Their' movements wr;re excel lent, and drew forth repeated plaudits of admiration from every Officer present. It has been whimsically observed, that though LUCIEN BUONAPARTE has taken out a Garne..Li co NAPOLEON his brother NAPOON has resolved to con ti:lnti a Poacher. To give the latter, however, the title of Poacher, is.xeally - cliaracierising his enor mons plunders in too gentle a manner. Stmm : PHARE has prophetically described the French Ty rant in more appropriate terms, where he speaks of a Cut-purse of the empire- and the A Gentleman is p.epariog on apparatus compered of two small Balloons, which will support. the weight of his body, permitting his feet just to 'touch the ground : these are joined as boys join, bladders, or corks, for learning to swim, and are to be tlistened under the arms in the sante manner, the weight of the body, being supported by the balloons ; ex pects, writ) the addition of a couple of wings, to be able to walk, ran, or fly, at pleasure. .AMasket-lock cover has been invented by an (Acct. of the Royal Marines, which affords a coin plete preservation of the priming for many hours under the briniest , rain; and possesses other advan tages superior to any contrivance of the kind hither- . adnpted. It has met with the approbation of all the Officers who have seen it tried.; am! 40u0 are now preparing, at she ekpenee of .Govurtmloot, to be sent Out to Portugal, for the use .of alp light troops at Loid WULLINQION'S artity, • :AVAi, NEVV3.

The Dryad frigate, Capt. GALWAY , was undocked last evening. The Apollo, HAM3IANT, Nlaster, that put in here a few days since in a leaky state, on her voyage from London to Malta, sailed last evening tor her destination. . At the Quarter Sessions for this Borough, held on Monday and Tuesday last, a soldier of rho North Devon Regiment of Militia, stationed in, this Gar rison, underwent a long examination, on account of several forged .Notes, purporting to be of theßank ofEngland, bei n g f oun d i n hi s possess i on ; ot h ers o f a like sort were found on his Wife, which appeared from the investigation, to have been received from the French prisoners at lhrtmoor, from whence a number had lately been issued ; and it is much tobe desired , that .some effectual steps may speedily be taken, to prevent this nefarious traffic, which there is no doubt might easily be put a stop to, if proper means were adopted;--they were bosh remanded. At the same Sessions, n carter was.examined for having counterfeit 'shillings in his posseision, and having pissed several to different persons in this town. 'On searching his house, under a plank in the floor was found between..tv. , enty and thirty pounds worth of base money, resembling shillings, which were immediately seized, and the man re mains in 'custody 'until .directions are received re specting . him from the Solicitor of the Mint.

Sir.G.,OusLav was appointed to succeed him,-came overland from Te heran to Constantinople, and• ihere embarked on board the Pomone for 'England. - • Sit HARFORD Jo> u s, by the desire of Capt. BAR BIE, left the Pomone about eleven o'clock, at which time her masts were all_gone; twenty of her main deck, and most of het quarter-deck guns, had been thrown' overboard, and the ship was striking so hard as to give no hope of her holding Much longer to gether. Nothing' could exceed the coolness and dis ciplitie exhibited by Captain BARRIE, and his officers and crew, on this trying occasion, to which in a great measure may be attribut e d the s.t6ig of the crew and passengers. On board the Pomone were thfee very beautiful Arab horses, and six goats which produce 'the fine shawl wool, belonging to Sir Haurotto Jotiss which it was found impossible to W save. . -Mr. J. utTn, Master of: his Majesty's ship rcirear, had left that. frigate a few days before ,Bbe was wrecked in the Baltie, by taking the command of a valtialle prize; which sprang a 'leak in a gale of wind, at.d was foundering, 'when her signals of distress were ix - evidentially observed by his Majesty's ship Egeria; which bore up, and tookall.her crew .out just as she was going , dawn, and brought them a . few dayi Since. into Leith.

They were last confined.in Thionville prison, the high ramparts of which they scaled. .1'1:e account they give of the .despotistu and misery prevailing in.every place under Gallic 'domination 'through which they passed, is dreaJful in the, extrenie; andthe raPture with which they set foot on gu s list) ground again -is not to be descriWd. :rOFTIt MODES OF ACQUIRING WEALTH.
