of iutimniatioii held lry, the majority has presented
heir continuance in their employment. A wept,
lies dppesred within the lest few days, entitled
" The Second Address of the keelmen of the River
Tyne," hut it contains nothing which has not al-
ready appeared in the farm of complaint. The
mination of the use of the spouts is the chief point
insisted on. There is, however, a singular linen.
sidtency in its very commencement. It begins with
thanking "the coal-owners, fitters, fie. whet have
renewed their agreements with their keeltnen nn
the same terms as, last year." Now. from this it
is reasonable to infer that the cause of the stoppage
was an unwillinguels on the pert of the colliery
proprietors to renew their engagements on the
same term* as the preceding year. Yet Ito conclu-
sion could be more coutrary to tooth., they have
nev.-r refuted to do so. But the keelmen are lint,
as this would seem to indicate, satisfied with this ;
they demand as a slue gra non, that the loading of
vessels at the staiths should be restricted to eight
keels, • condition included neither in their last
agreement nor in any preceding. Oit Saturday last
a petition was presented, on their behalf, by
A. Askew, E.q. of Redheugh, at • meeting of
the Magistrates of Northumberland, Durham, and
Newcastle; Lit the grievances set forth were in
themselves trifling. and. for the most part, out of
the control both of the magistracy and the coal-
owners. And what may be considered strange,
none of these grievances or condiliona had appeared
in their former documents; they seemed, indeed,
framed for no other purpose than to furnish an ex-
cuse for abstailling from their employment. One
of them was, " It is our fixed determination that
not one men will return to work until every man
is liberated who is, or may be, arrested during the
continuance of the stop.". To anch terms us these
it is unnecessary to apply argument.
On Saturday they assembled in great numbers
on the Windmill Hills, but without effecting any
change in their previous determination. Yesterday
they met again in a great body in the same place,
when it was generally conceived that some amicable
adjustment would take place. That expectation.
however, has bean disappointed. A deputation
from them, we hear, has just waited on the Mayor
at the Mansion House, and declared their fixed re-
solution to be, not to go to work till the coal own-
era consent to restrict the loading of ships at the
spouts to eight keels, to give them two guineas for
binding-money, end one guinea for a supper.
Such is the prevailing feeling among the proprietors
of the collieries. that we are persuaded if the keel-
men hold this their determination, their future em-
ployment at all is extremely problemscal.

The Cortes are not an assembly of revolutionary
origin. A decree of King Ferdinand, of 5111 May,
1808, addressed es every public authority which
ooght to be in a state of freedoms. ordered the con-
vocation of the Cortes of the kingdom to oppose
the acts of Bscnone. The extraordinary circum-
stances iii which Spain was placed permitted the
execution of the decree only in a very irregular
manner; nevertheless it is certain that all the friends
of legitimacy in Europe atittlauded when the Cortes
declared null and of no effect the abdications and
religions extorted from the Royal Family at Ri-
youne. The Cortes we►e recognised by the Courts
of London, Palermo, and Rho Jimeim, as a legiti-
mate authority. The Emperor of Russia. when he
broke with Bonaparte, in 1812, concluded with the
Cortes a Treaty, of which the third Article runs
thus:—" His Imperial Majesty acknowledges as
legitimist, the Assembly of the General and Extra-
ordinary Cortes, actually met at Cadiz, as well as
the Constitution of the Spanish Monarchy. which
that Assembly has decreed and promulpted."
That this assembly, although legitimate, has ma-
nufactured • hod Constitution, favourable to Revo-
lution+, is what we perfectly agree to; we dare even
affirm, that the enlightened Members of the Cortes
are fur from maintaining that this Constitution is a
good one. But how can we establish the principle
that the interml vices of a Constitution give Fo-
reign Powers the right to overturn, by force of
arms. • Government and an order of things which

After listing laid down this first basis of interfer-
ence, the state.men would have to examine by what
means they could succour the King of Spain; what
limpid be the dangers to avoid and the obstacles in
overcome, if there is any chance of secceisal,fig by
a pacific negociation ; if any thing can he bayed
from lime, or if it be necessary to act ; if
the different Governments ought to unite their
arms, or confide the whole to a single l'ower ?

to be exacted ? And as a good Corisiiiutien is et,.

matters; and who are &Tie:ford that we rapport,

terd•y eveniug, from Madrid, onnouoces the •rre.t
of three Minister., Pornbley, Martinez de la Rie.a,
and ---."

Letters received to-day from St. Jean Pied-de.
Port. and from the frontiers of the Aldades. an-
nounce that on the 13th a great number of officers
and soldiers of the Army of the Faith arrived from
Iraty, who stated that the Constitutionalist, had
pursued Cobra's troops to the frontiers of Fraoer.
The Liberals had immediately spread a report that
the Army of the Faith had been beaten. and that
even the garrison appointed to guard the fort h'ct
abandoned it on the tnorning of the 14th ; it Madd-
ed, that one of the Commanders of the guerilla, r.f
the three province., named Barrutia. bad separated
with 400 men to return to Guipuscott. We Ws,-
no reason to give the least credo' to these reports ;
it appears only probable that the Constittitionalist•
were on the 12th in the fort of Iraty, in force, and
that Bureau, at the bead of his hued, is going to
some other point to carry on offensive operations.
(La La Chlogidiemsee.)
We are assured that official intelligence of the Ile.
feat of the Army of the Faith lies reached Goren,-
asent.—(Courier Francais.)

But this is not the only difficulty. In 1820, all
the Courts of Europe, with the exception, I believe,
of Austria, simmered officially the letter by which
the King of Spain announced that he had thought
fit to put in activity the Constitution of the Cortes.
Not one of these answers contains a disapprobation
of this Constitution. The Court of Russia alone,
in s Note addressed to M. Zest Bermudez, gave to
understand that she blamed the military insurrec-
tion of 1820 ; but, in the same sentence, insinuated
that she disapproved the system pursued from 1814
to 1820. Nothing in these official documents an-
--simisiees the ides of an imerferenee.

It is this double set of recognition of the consti-
tutional system of Spain. which makes all argil-
nictitation very d.fEcult by which it may be at-
tempted to establish a right of interference ground-
ed On the bad principles of the Constitution—prin-
ciples perfectly known in 1812. and still more in
1840.

PARIS. OCTOBER 21.

We have indicated the series of the questions of
public right which will present themselves to the
attention of the Congress of Verona in ease it would
take cognisance of the affairs of Spain. Each of
these questions is of so grave and so compltcsted a
aatu►e. that it d a separate examination.

mu. OCTOBER 21.

In general, all interference under such a p►in.
ciple aof a dangerous example. The sovereignty
of each State would he hilated if the other
powers had the right of examining the laws made
in it. A victorious revolutionary power would re-
turn this same principle upon neighbouring Mo-
narchies, which it would invade nu the pretext that
such or such article of their Conititutions was not
conformable to the rights of man. Have we not
seen ■ Bonapa►te, when he overturned old dynas-
ties, mix up among his pretended grounds of offence
that of their bad legislation ? Let us fear, in wish-
ing to do good, lest we forge wins for those who
would do evil. Let each nation revise and modify
its laws according to its degree of civilization, its
interests, and its wants. Europe can neither be con-
stituted nor governed in common.
All the rights of Europe with regard to the Con-
stitution of Spain reduce themselves to this—first,
to defend itself spitist her if she attempted to im-
pose her political code on others, or if site assisted
those who might wish to do so; second, to give her
the friendly advice to direct well the revision of her
Constitution, which, according to various laws re-
specting it, may tyke place in 1824.

We have this day received • letter trout Urger.
dated the 14th inst. Notwithstanding the snirstrr
reports which prevailed, the Regency is still lit
Set. No engagement had taken place since the
Bth. Mine has 14,000 men tinder his command,
and the forces of Berms d'Erolles sinuunt to Ili
or 18,000 men.

In what case can it foreign Power demand with
anus in hand, the change of the political Conaiitu-
tum of another State ?

History and diplomacy present us several exams
plea of a leg. to intervention of this nature.
Austria, in 1821, interfered in the affairs of Naplts
in virtue of a formal Treaty, by which Austria, on
re•deli►ering to Ferdinand IV. his Continental
States. reconquered iu 1816 from Murat by the
Austrian armies, had stipulsted "That King Fer-
dinand should make no inno►ation iu the internal
organization of his Stater, which could disturb the
Italian States of Austria."

The Restfes opened on Mondry at 93 f. 75 rt. and
closed at 93 f. 85c.; Neapolitan and Spoutsli Bonds
touch the some.

The Emperor and Empress arrived this dry, at
nom). They were received with the discharge of
cannon, and with the acclamation• of ■n immense
crowd, gathered from every part of the province.
Thousands of armed militia, in their national cos-
tume, with colours and ►partial bomb, came to
join our corps of citizens, to forts a double rank for
the passage of our Sovereigns. On arriving at the
Palace, their Majesties shelved themselves to the
balcony. The breve defenders of their country de-
filed before them, reading the sir, at the same
time, with aka of joy.

We do not examine whether such a stipulation is
compatible with the sovereignty of the King of
Na-
ples, or the dignity of Crowns in general. It is
enough for our actual object that it exists, and gives
formally, to Austria, the right of interference in the
internal affairs of Naples. The last century saw
France, Sardinia, and the Canton of Berne inters
fere in the disturbances of the Republic of Genera,
in virtue of conventions which placed this Repuldie
under their guarantee. Every one recollect". alto.
that the right of interference has been the subject•of
very warm disputes among cabinets; it served as •
pretext to that deplorable partition of Poland, which
began the confusion of Europe, and which the pre-
sent Monarch of Russia limo wished in some sort to
expiate, by restoring to • portion of the Pules, their
national existence.

to a Christian, with much naivete, " that the Turks

FROM THE BARRI OF THR LECH. OCT. 12.

. -
There is a much more incontestable motive to
interfere in the internal affairs of Spain—a motive
which depends not on a subtle theory. but on a fact
easily demonstrated, if it exists with all the circum-
stances which public reports seem to put out of
doubt. The legitimate and constitutional Kiug of
Spam', is he in liberty. when lie does not dare go
to a country house without asking permission of the
Permanent Deputation ? Is he in safety when hie
guards and the gorrison of the capital fight with
caution under the windows of his palace? Can he
freely exercise the functions of royalty when fero-
cious cries resounding iu his ears demand the blood
of his almoners without form of trial, as in the
case of Vinuesa ? Or when a phrenetic populace
accelerates the punishment of General Elio to pre-
vent the effect of an application fur pardon ? Is
cot his dignity cruelly outraged by the insults la-
visited on a dying Queen, who is refused the liberty
to breathe the country air ? These are notorious
circumstances; I cite them as such, without inquir-
ing what is the cause—who are the authors of them ?
It suffices to prove authentically these facts by a
declaration of the Foreign Ministers at Madrid,
especially the Family Ambassadors (France and
Naples) as having by right a freer access to the Pa-
lace ; then the right and duty of Europe to come
to the aid of an oppressed Monarch will be perfectly
established and profoundly felt.
In vain shall it be said that the Cortes have no
port in the outrages on the Royal Family ; if that
is not the true question, this Is :—Have they the
power of stopping these outrages ? Can they
guarantee the personal safety of the King ? Them-
selves the playthings of the multitude, how cat,
they if they would ?
It is necessary that no legitimate and constituted
authority should be kept iu prison, or a state equi.

In 1787, another case offered itself, in which at!
the diplomatic talents of Franca were employed to
combat the pretensions of Pinola, which arrogated
the right of interfering in etre quarrels of the Starks
holder with the States General of Holland ; a pre-
tension quite inadmissible, as the Stadtholder was
the mandatory of the Republic, and the States
nerd! possessed incontestably the supreme power. The
French Ministry demonstrated these truths in its de-
clarations and its notes, but it did not support them
by army. The great revolutions of Europe made these
differences forgotten, and the old law of nations
perished whole in the revolutionary shyer. On its
re-establishment at the Congress of Vienna, there
was an opportunity for rr•establishittg it completely
on positive bases universally recognised. That
would have been especially useful, necessary even
with regard to the right of interference in the inter.
nal affairs of a State.
We have said in what manner we should have
wished to have prevented in 11314. the unhappy al-
ternative in which European policy is placed with
respect to Spain:
Ott one side the reasonable wish which every good
Spaniard participates in to see eflisced from the Con.
stitutiou of that kingdom several dangerous prin.
ciples, and to modify several vicious iostitutions
which perpetuate anarchy there:
On the other side the imperious necessity of not
violating existing treaties fluid already made solemn
declarations, the just frar of authorising a vague
