LONDON, TUESDAY. SimlD 7, INA.

V e have received through our Paris Correspondent some!
%,..ry extraordinary communications from Spain. Ile says
trzdy, that " the facts stated in them are beyond doubt
either absolutely groundless or singularly disfigured Of ex-
,74erescd by the fears or interests of these who are eon-
t: rel in these events." Our Correspondent adds, that
ti.:• readiness with which these rumours have been
I. 4,eved chews the sentiments of the prevailing party, and
I.,:riatra of tue Spanish Government itself, with regard to
Eugland ; and in that pointiof view the contents of these
Liters well deserve the attention of the English Govern.
iner.t.7 We have only to add to what our Correspondent
siy that the French censors have suppressed the matter
row publish. One of the largest of the hideous recent
po Ts in the constitutional journals of Paris was occasioned
by the trasureof the article which follows :

( ►car Paris Cotrespientent may well say, that the excess!
despotism displayed by the public functior.rnies in
I must app.sr incredible on our side the water.
•! t..; is always a lurking dread of public opinion, that
even allne who are the moct willing to walk in the
corruption h. h afraid and &t horned of being seen
74. N'itt.ttr. and his party. in the very height of
t.• • : arbitrary reign, are yet most anxious to keep from
it i•ub!ic eye and from the public ear, the measurts which
ne well know must brand them !•ith contempt, and co-
s. :Lem with dishonour. It is the office of the Cals4re
1. i., ep secret not only the system they are pursuing re,ni,
1..,' t:at which they mean to pursue. when their }resent
t. r, the Count trAarois, ascends the throne of France,
a•• event which cannot be far distant. The present Mi-
►.•:ury are declining hourly in the public confidence. and
leading object is to withhold from the nation at large
a:I knowledge of their proceedings; therefore it is, as wel
bare said, that they permit no reflections to appear in any
is the public journals, either as to what they are doir.g, or
what they intend to do. The Committee of Ow Censure
ha Ye consequendy their pruning knife perpetually in their
hinds, and they employ it to an extent the most revolting,
and with a spirit the most intolerant. But the end of all,

this will c: me; and we eonfas we do not await it without
alarm. It may lead to events which, to use the words of
Du as " open a New Iliad of rem to Europe."

The present state of the public mind in France, combined
with the revoking system of policy pursued by her present
riders, cannot fail, we think, to lead to some disastrous
result. The period is near at hand which must try the
strength of the opposing parties. M. Villele and his
most devoted adherents in the Ministry have prests.4 for-
ward
with a violent effort towards the destruction of the
punk jars, and of all that freedom of thought and action
which invigorate the liberties, while it perpetuates the
strength, of a nation. But this their process of despotism
will assuredly have its re-action, and they will not be able
Ito stand the shock; this re-action, it is to be feared, will
bring with it all those miseries of civil discord which neces-
sarily attend a convulsive struggle for power. By a timely
prudence, this concussion may yet be avoided: an ex-
emplary zeal, manifested in an opposite direction, might
yet bring back the spirit of affection and loyalty; but it is
hardly in human nature that we are to look for this sort of
wisdom. An Ethiop Minister does notichange his skin,
nor a leopard of the Royal Menagerie bis spot, with one
whit more facility than an Ethiop or a leopard of the
common herd. The present public functionaries iti
France are men of that cast of mind and character, that
can only exist by crushing the principles of liberty in every
direction, and checking the development of everything
like manly and independer.t feeling. Their conception
cannot reach to what are the ultimate interests of the Go-
v; rnment as bound up with the interests of the nation.
Their system must be a mass of corruption. It is only
in the fermentation of such a mass that they can bring
their natural energ.es into play. It is their servility that
purveys to their ambition. To suppose of such men that
they could become, under any circumstances, the friends
of liberty and the allies of patriotism, is to look for such a
conversion as the world never yet saw, nor, we may safely
add, ever will rec.

Lcuis XVIII. is perfectly well aware that his end is ap-
proaching. His condition has long been such u to have,,
estinguil.bed all hope. His death, however, will produce
no change in the system of Government. The coronation
of the Count D'Aerols will not be the first year of hit
reign. He is already, and has long been, for all practical
purposes, cL•rolate King of France. His present Mejesty
has long been unequal to the conduct of public affairs,
though by no means ceasing to feel an interest in them.
Here it is that the great danger lies. if there was any
prospect that the Prince who must spetdily mount the
throne would tale a more generous view of 'hinge—that
he would act on more enlightened principles, and proceed
in the spirit of a more liberal and conciliating policy—then
indeed the present oppressive system might be bone with:
then would be the supporting consolation, that it would
be soon at an end. But, unhappily, there is every prospect
that the same course of administration will be acted upon

with redoubled vigour—that all liberal institutions will be
repressed with a still more r -ecipitate seal, and that the
dominant power of the present Ministry will display itself,
if pa:Bible, in a still more insulting spirit of aggression.
This it is that gives room for apprehension as to the sta-
bility of the Ileurbon dynasty, and which puts at risk the
tranquillity of Europe.

It terms to be the opinion of some of our contemporaries,
that in proportion to the desirableness of events should be
the doubts raised with respect to their occurrence when in-
telligenee of the facts is received. No sooner does the news
of some victory gained by the Greeks or America., reach
this country, than the ingenuity of the parties to whom we
allude is tasked to shew that the news cannot possibly be
true. A thottsand physical obstacles are stated, which at-
mor.strate the utter'grountlksaness of the report. It is, it
must be admitted, in some respects, an eligible mode of
prophecy, always to augur the worst. If the prognosti-
cator happen to be right, he has, at least, the melancholy
pleasure of self-satisfaction. Ile refers to his accomplished
predictions with oracular importance, and, perhaps, ex-
cites afresh the mixed wonder and alarm of his ad-
misers, by foretelling future and more dreadful dis-
asters. If, on tho other hand, he be mistaken, his
blunders are forgotten amidst the general joy, and
his mortified vanity saved from reproach by the ge-
nerosity which success inspires. We are induced to
make these remarks, in reference to what has lately taken
place with regard especially to the Greeks. The capture of
Ipaara by the Turks was believed at once. It was too
horrible not to posses every qualification to entitle it to the
meat absolute credence. Some journals even secretly
chuckled at the massacre of the brave islanders, and
tauntingly asked, where was the " Taunted heroism of the
modern Greeks ?" Others, in a strain of wit, not less
exquisite, speculated on the fall of Greek scrip. But
when the news of the defeat of the Capitan Pacha
came, there was na end to the enumeration of reasons
why the Turka could not have been beaten. The fact,
however, Is now happily beyond all doubt; and we
have fur seine time been in full possession of the details
of this melt valiant enterprise. The modern Greeks have
again proved facir "heroism" in the face of the world.
'f hey have shown that they know equally how to conquer
and how to die fur their country. No page of history,
ancient or modern, records actions more transcendently
glorious than those performed by the Ipsariotes in the de-
fence of their island. We bare several times adverted with
disgust and indignation to the assistance rendered by the
aeents of the Iloly Alliance to the Turks. It would
leer, from the accounts we publish in another column, that
one of these wicked naffiekere in the spoils of the murdered
Christines has mat with a fate not more shocking than
jest. We know of no crime mare revolting than that
which he was engegal in perpetrating when the hand of
death smote him. Let any man reed the Effle of the
Meemheans, which was posted at the gate of the
srag'io, when thz " troph:ce' of the Capitate Pache
were received by the brutal Sultan; let any man. we re-
peat, peruse that brutal and blasphemous outrage against
the sacred religion we profess, and against all the forms
and decencies of deilised life, and having, if his patience
would allow him, passed to the conclusion, in which these
cold-blooded barbarians relate the indignities they had of.
fered to the senseless remains of their victims—let him say,
whether for a moment he Call !mita:: in praying for the
downfal of the Ottoman th4atisitt, or in giving his aid,
in whatever share it can Le tendered. to drive them back
to the deserts from w`eicit they issued. only to spread deso-
lation and perpetuate the most ruthless system of fanati-
cism and barbarism with which any portion of the human
race was ever afflicted.

We learn by a letter from Corfu, dated the Ist ult. that
two of the piratical cruizers, by whew depredations various
vessels had suffered along that coast, Lila been captured
and carried in here. It was also reported at Corfu, that
others of theta had been taken and brought into Zante.
From these cepturea, and the measures that had been taken
to put an end to such piratical depredations, it wag ex-
pected that no further annoyance would b: olf:red to the
grad of those parts fur some. time to come.
