THE BRITISH PRESS.

LON DON,
FRIDAY. °crown 19, 1821.
We have received fiansburgh Papers to the 19th
instant. It appears from them that the order for
depriving alessa of the commercial pririlegei with
which it was lately invested has been suspended,
and that it is to remain • free port until further
notice.

The Parisi Papers of Monday, from which we have
made extracts, state that the Katie has been
posed. We find from them that the negociatious
entered into by the English and Aws*ti•n Ministers,
to prevent a war betoeen Russia and Turkey, still
continue. It appears that through'their interference
several points have been settled by the acquiescence
of the Porte. The principal point that remains is said
to be • demand, on, the part of Russia, to occupy
c. rtain places in Turkey with a military force, com-
petent to maintain the religious and political state
of the Greeks inviolate, and prevent a repetition of
the barbarous outrages that have lately rli.graced
that c•+outr_y. This military occupation of the
country, if acceded to, wo►sld amount to an
actual surrender of its independence to Russia.
None but a completely conquered and helpless
country could submit to such a condition; oar is it
to be presumed that the other Continental Powers
would acquiesce in a measure calcolated fur the
sole and exclusive aggrandisement of Russia. It
has therefore been proposed to qualify the demand
of Russia, by specifying and limiting the number
of places, and having the garrisons composed of
Allusion, Austrian, and English troops.

Madrid Papers to the sth instast have been re-
ceived. They contain the following account of the
progress of the yellow fever:—
BARCELONA.
, Gros the !Vito the 25th, i•etasive, died is Borerloon, 190
lareeloorne, - 141
Sesi•ary, - 44
Teta • 300
IVote.—The above includes those who died in the
city and in Barcelonetia in four days of all kinds
of diseases but the f.cul'y estimate, that three-
fourths are of the yellow fever.
' The number of patients now in the city, Bar-
celonetta, the Seminary, and the !louse of the Vice
Queen, is 43t, being •n increase of 91, since yes-
terday. The number of deaths having been 76,
cured and recovered 13, and new cases 120. By
accounts from Mequit.enza of the 24th, 25. h, and
26th, the contagion seems to be spreading there
also, but not in so great a degree.

TORTOSA.
This unhappy town, which is filled with death in
all its parts and its vicinity. especially las Roquele,
where the contagion commits dreddfid ravages, is
worthy of the greatest compassion, and an hospital
of convalescence, confided to the direction of the
Sisters of Charity of San Vincente Paul, and young
dives, who have offered themselves for this ser.
vice. compelled by feelings of humanity. the
Committee of this Jtuit.i has for the Peewit,
time assisted it with some vinegar, chocolate,
and rice. The greatest care continues to be
taken in maintaining the cordon, and two un-
happy wretches who had the boldness to pass it,
have been stopped stud given up to the rigour
of the laws. An instance of the same kind
carried the contagion to Mequinenita, which is
now surrounded with a cordon ; this f►ct and
that some persons f►orn Tortola and its country
houses have entered Saragossa and Frig*, has
caused the Junta to declare Mequinenze infected,
Saragossa and Frage suspected, and person. coining
from all parts of that province in general subject to
ten days surveillance. The port of Malaga is again
declared suspected, a person hewing died on board
one of the vessels, though his illness was not

contagiossa.

Ali article from Saragossa of the 26th September,
seas thrre was no rear or contagion in that c.ty.—

intention tonsure, upon you the dignity of a Baroiset of the
united Kingdoms Is was a most fortunate eirculantseme that
at the period of his Majesty's visit to Irelsod the high office
of Lord Mayur of Dublin was held by a person of tttow■
prudence mid discretion, who by • happy uwioa of moderitioa
and firmness was enabled, without the merreoder or compro-

of all parties. Allow me kaiser to express the great plea-
sure which I hive felt, in noticing your active, and at the
late 'limier of the Sheriffs, soecessful siodeavolleb to promote
that liberal furheirance sad that tree bne►eieace, which
you so constantly observed and practised whilst in office.
It is of the greatest importance to Ireland, nod to the whole

The Freeman's Journal, from which we have co-
pied this letter, observer, that it is quite in unison
with his MAJerry's letter of advice to his Irish sub•
jects, and Mr. GUM.' letter of reproof to the
Lisburn Yeomanry. We trust the contents of the
Home Secretary's letter will make a proper impres-
sion upon the present LORD MAYOR, and all
those who might have been led by his very impru-
dent conduct to entertain hopes of reviving national
discord. No man can entertain a doubt of Lord
SIDWOUTM's meaning and object. He could not ex-
pressly censure the LORD MAYOR or Dublin, who is
not an officer of the Crown, and who is in fact (as
Lord Mayor) quite independent of it—but he
seize., or rather makes an opportunity to bestow un-
qualified praise on the late Lord Mayor for that par-
ticular part of his official conduct which was di►ert-
ly in opposition to the contloci of the present Chief
Magistrate, and lest there should be any possible
chance of misconception, his Lordship distinctly
refers to Sheriff SMITH'S dinner. We do not poiut
out these things far the sake of any triumph—we
disclaim every feeling of that sort—we mention them
merely with the hope of placiog the matter fairly
before the public."

The affairs of Spain, we are told by certain of our
ministerial writers, are beginning to assume a
character of deeper, and, as they add, of awe pain-
ful interest, than has hitherto belonged to them;
and it is further affirmed, with daily-increasing
confidence, that the condition of Spain is rapidly
assimilating itself to that of revolutionary Frarrflle
just previous to the murder of the unfortunate
Loos. There is more of faction thou of truth iu
these observations. Spain, it cannot be denicd.'hao
suffered occasional inquietude, as well in the capi-
tal as in various other parts of the kingdom, since
the time that the KIND consented to the establish-
ment of the Constitution of the Corks; but those
who can think of seriously comparing such partial
disturbing...a with the deep and uni►ersal agitation
of the popular force in France, thew themselves
equally ignorant of the occurrences that marked
the revolution in either country. The very dis-
turbances which have occurred in the provinces of
Spain. however dist►essing they may be to that
country in general, differ in this most essential par-
ticular from those which formerly convulsed every
part of France—that, while the latter evinced the
desperate hatred of the mass of the people to the
royal power, to the aristocracy, and to the church,
and aimed untaptivocally at the overthrow of every
principle which gives stability to political institu-
tions—the former have arisen from feelings of a
diametrically opposite character, and have for their
avowed object the restoration of the despotic power
of the Crown, with ■ll the abuses, civil and ecclesi-
astical, which have for centuries made Spoil' a
scene of domestic misery and degraded her political
estimation in the affairs of Europe. The partial
efforts made by Martino and some others to light
the flames of civil war within their country were
happily suppressed by the almost unaided force of
public opinion ; they sunk in their own insigni-
ficance: but when we know that such persons
ventured to distinguish themselves as loyalists—
that they impudently arrogated to themselves, is
one instance, the title or " The Army for the De-
liverance of GOD and the KING ;" and in every
instance affected to represent the KING as the
promoter of their enterrizes, slid that every friend
to despotic power in Spain, Great Britain, and
France fervently desired their success—what can
he more unjust than to impute their excesser, and
the necessary cousequences of them, either to the
genius of the revolution itself, or to the conduct of
the illustrious individuals, who, by promoting the
revolution, effected the deliverance of their country ?
If Spain be distracted and convulsed, the fault lies
with the enemies of the revolution. That mighty
event ors accomplialied in a manner peculiarly fur-
tunate; despotism fell sad liberty rose almost with.
out • struggle—no blood was shed, mud Spain
might at once have begun to enjoy the blessings of
security to life and property had not Courtiers and
Monks compiled to blast the fair fruits of this
glorious enterprise. Ilad the trietrehr of the ancient
System submitted themselves to the expressed will
of the nation. and heritated to disturb the general
trooquillity of the State, the provinces of Sp•ia
would have kauwa too other enemies to their tepees-
t

and that kingdom woubi now present none of those
sources of painful iaterest to which the friends of
arbitrary power in this country turn with se. much
affected sorrow, but such essnifestly real plemere.
The slate of affairs in Madrid seems calculated
at the first view to excite reflections of a different
nature. las the capital a violent spirit appears on
some occasions to have actuated a portion of the
populace, sod one or two clubs; have arisen, where
democratic principles were preached. We fiss.d;
however, that upon the first display of energy on
the part of the Governmest, the wretched few aha
distracted the capital were dissipated, the dui,.
were silenced, and the Kinn, who a few usiso!4
since was obliged to seek refuge its the retireamit
of the country, from the turbulence and insolence
of the mob of Madrid, was receitred on hie recent
return to his capital with fervent demonstrations ~f
fidelity and affection. Nothiag could shew more
effectually the weakness of the crew who dared to
disturb the public peace, and expel their Sove.
reign (ions the capital. But in reflecting upon the
circumstance, who does nit feel indignation and
astonishment at the imbecility or treachery of
Ministry who should so long suffer a portion of the
rabble of Madrid to play such fantastic tricks wish
impSinity,oud thereby endanger the security of in.
stitutious for which alone Spain can hope to obtain
regeneration ? The royalists in the provinces, and
the democrats in the capital. alike hostile in their
respective extremes to the principles of the revolu-
tion. have equally fallen before the power of she
State; and if the Government will faithfully and
energetically exercise the authority that is reposed
in its hands by the law, there is no reason for ap.
prehending the occurrence of any events so deplor-
able in their mature as those which disgraced the
annals of France. The spirit of the revolution in
the lune country is conservative, in the other it was
destructive; and, judging Irons the 'temper already
evinced by the several pobkal parties is Spain;
NMI from the events that have already occurred, we
have no hesitation in expressing our firm belief;
that if any exc.sses shall henceforward arise, they
will flow exclusively from the isitemnerate condom
of the coartiers, or the other tunnies to co stile.
