LONDON,

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER c 2,

We have received the Pans Papers of
lost, and Madrid Papers to the lEttli of Lt•t
month. The Mcdlid Papers, in speaking of th.•
elections of Deputies now in progress through cer-
tain districts in the kingdom, notice in terms of
satisfaction the good order and c•onatits►tioaal spirit
with which they are conducted. In the Paris Pa-
pers, however, we find articles of intelligence frau,
Madrid and other places, professing, for the mist
port, to be extracts from private letters, in which
the proceedings at thr elections are repvesented to a
light far less flattering to the hien& of constitu-
tional liberty. These accounts speak of tiros/nil or!..
rages of a violent nature committed by the ronfht.-..-

and Elclia, where the constitutionalists are accused
of having displayed extreme violence, without aiiy

iVitmled in the perversity of part:- spirit to mint
much attention.

At the elections in Parapeltina a quarrel arose
which was near being attendrel with disastrous coo-
sequences. An unfortunate apothecary, kinersa
by his zeal fur the constitution, liappeneJ to no-
dergo a caning, which the officers of the girrisuo
chose to consider as a direct attack —not upon the
constitution of the apothecary, but upon that of
the Spanish Monarchy. As such they resented v.
Some evenings afterwards the drummers, in bestioir
the retreat, were assailed with stones, and tits
soldiers instantly ran to vents, and were upon the
•point of sallying out upon the town's people, when
the arrival of their officers repeessed their indiges-
tion, and preserved tranquillity. The office's.
however, complained that the Municipality lout
taken no measures to preserve the troops from being
insulted, the Municipality threw the fault upon the
Political Chief. who, in his tun►, reproached the
officers. The Captain-General demanded the dis-
missal of the Political Chief, and the whole town
was in a state of agitation until the answer of the
Government was received, which commanded the
removal of the provincial grenadiers from the city.

The accounts from Barcelona respecting the pr.:-

itself to other places. It has reduced Mequinenza
almost to a desert. The precious statements, %her/.

proofs of its virulence, but there is something still
more shocking in the total cessation of them whey
we are told that death has ceased its rivtittts in the

It is very distressing that day after day we should

racer of the disturbances in that port of Ireland
leaps by every successive arrival to deepen in sm.-
city, as if the crimes already committed had
speed to give a more desperate fearlesmiesv to t!e
criminals, and to nerve the arm of guilt. The pre-
pence of the great military force winch has been
assembled in the disturbed districts has not pro-
duced es yet any sslatary elticts; it cannot acetyl
the progress of a moral poison which arises from a
relaxed habit of society. In the midst of all the
bustle of military moveincids, Rousts are plundered
of fire-arms, iltriats of petsonal violence are insp.
heutly and alarmingly communicated, und obno3:-

has dour nothing to cheek this evil spit it, and ii.
fact can do nothing. If indeed the Rini ins who lc-
