LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Ocronr R 27, 182$.

The Paris Papers of Sunday reached us last night. The
private correspondence of the Koniteur would lead us to
believe that the Government of FT. P.IH N• N D VII. can some-
times act upon principles of good faith. The fulfilment of
the promises of pardon held out to the eon:runner us and the
freemasons hes produced the best effects. The suspected
and culpable parties have readily come forward, and •
claimed the benefit of the Royal amnesty, and we are glad
tea find that they have not had occasion to repent their con-
fidence. A strange story is told in the same carrespondeuee,
respecting the Spanish Treasury : its destitution is stoutly
denied, and in order to convince the sceptical, we are as-
sured that the Treasurer-General settle-eel bankers' bills, to
the amount of eight millions of teals, to lie in his bands
over due several weeks, before he demanded payment.
Credal Jtitheits! But suppose it were so, (a fact, by-the- 1
bye, rendered somewhat doubtful by the extracts we give
from the private correspondence of the Juuelici des Dehals)
what do the advocates of his CATHOLIC NI AJ LST Y Sea to
prove in his favour by his solvency ? The King of SPAIN
estrum to pay his lawful debts. The best excuse for him is
to say that he cannot. To say that he can, but will not, is
to degrade him to the lowest depth of dishonesty. The
armerstal des pekes directs its whole force now against the
Ministers Varies and- COkll FRP. The latter is even
more unpopular than the President of the Council ; he is
eharged with using kis power as Minister of the Interior,
in the most capricious and oppreeiive manner. The
pledges given by him in ISI7, as a deputy, are contrasted
with his acts is 1821 as a minister, and the Royalists are
energetically called upon to abandon him who has aban-
doned the principles which gave him their confidence. Ile
is represented as dismissing every public servant, who has
not manifested the warmeet seal in upholding the violent
aystem on which he and his colleagues have proceeded. But
the conduct of this Breton Mwcenas, as lie is cone nip-
tutimily styled, towards scientific and literary men, seems
particularly to have roused public indignation against him.
In our extracts in another column, we give from the
Jui.rnal des Debuts some curious anecdotes of his war %lid*
knowledge. The other Papers have also powerful articles
against the Ministry. If they do not really expect a
change in the KING'. Councils, they feign excellently.

MADRID, OCT. 12.
The Decree on the Communerm, Freemasons, and individuals
who have belonged to any secret society whatever, has produced a
great effect; the number of persons who have presented themselves
to enjoy the pardon which it promises, is very FontaderaWe. It is
true that the Oovemment, on its side. observes, in the most faithful
manner, what it has promised in this decree ; and the confidence
which this conduct inspired, reclaims many persons whom fear
would bate induced to be silent on this adherenceto the revolu-
tionary system. Among the number are observed, M. EAPI A, ex-
Secretary of the Landaburian Society ; and 31. HIGATO. Chief of
• Bureau in the Department of the Minister of Finance during the
time of the Coetes who, though they were deeply implicated, re-
main undisturbesi at home, merely because they have denuunced
themselves to the Magistrates.
The severe mamma adopted by Government after the affair of
Tarifa, have restored tranquillity to the province. Some Intendants
of Police, who have *hewn themselves the from favourable to them,
have been dismissed; among the &withal arc those of Oallicia and

Estremadura. •
I have observed that alt your journals endeavour to prove that
oar treasury is completely exhausted. I know not on what they
%nod their opinions. but I will mention some facts which seem to
'hew that there is exaggeration in the assertions of the foreign jour.
aals respecting the state of our Entrees.
The Government is ely received from a banking-house at Paris
bills of exchange for eight millions or reels, viz.: live millions on
the house of Caballero, widow, and sons, and three on that of
&rota, widow, Hemsandes, and Co. All the bills were payable at
from three to eight days sight. They were presented by. the Tres-
surer.Geaeral, who was asked by the two house's to irccive the
amount before they because due; and he answered he would do so
when be wanted the money. The day of payment. however, passed,
and even some weeks hariog elapsed without payment being asked,
the house at Paris was indirectly infomied, and asked en ezplana.
lion of the two Madrid houses, which referred to the Treasurer.

him that Me bills lad not been paid. In fact, the payment has

Letters from Girona, Abaft%lla. and ()liana, state, that many

At Mortinges it was found necessary to arrest some individuals who

PARIS, OCT. 23.
We have been informed as to the commutation of the punish.
ments pronounced upon the II th August. 13::1, in favour of 37 de-
serters surrendered at Lieu tartan liar et truly. Those who were
not soldiers received full and free pardon ; two soldiers, instead of
death, are to he imprisoned for a year ; two other persona, nut voi-
ding, are to be confined for three p.m ; Lieutenant Vernet, six
years in prism ; another officer and an ex-scrjeant, imprisonment
for tin years, and surveillance for ten more ; the remainder are sen-
tenced variously to different punishments—some to six years' soli-
tary confinement, with perpetual surveillance; some to ten years'
imprisonment ; some to hard labour twenty years. IVe °moot
forbear asking why there has been such a disproportion in the
punishments inflicted? and why, of two men similarly circum-
stanced, neither of them a soldier, one should be fully pardoned,

also to shock us, to see punishments so cruel as hard labour and
solitary confinement for ten or sixteen years pronounced upon men
who were promised on the field of battle their lives or passports to

BARCELONA, OCT. 13.

Letters from Madrid, written by persons fully eniitl,sl to con.
adenee. state that the project of a new amnesty is under discus-
shm in the Cabinet, and that it will be much more ample and ex-
tensive than that of the Ist of May.
It has been rumoured here that General ISIAAINGONE has been

Some citizens of our pmvinee are ruined by contributions. At

Letters from from Cadiz of the end of September state, that at the
moment they were written, the French cruisers before the city were
composed of a brig and a smaller vessel.

PARIS OCT. 23.
_ _

The quarrels of M. CoastEnt with all the academies and the
learned societies. are known' in the capital. but their origin has not
as yet been fully understood. A celelrttcd rolessor of astro-
nomy, in the College de France, having died, the College and
Academy proposed as his successor the aatronomer hold in the
highest esteem.
31. nt CORRIERE, that is to say, one of his clerks, thought he
knew more upon the subject than all the pmfessionul nun ; after a
consultation with some intriguantu, appointed to the sitmaion
person completely itpurant of this particular study. The Astro-
nomer of tile Committees was laughed at. We sill be revenged,
said the Committees ; we will tiwec the Aciuh .ty to receive our
man. A stupid sentiment of pride, to which M. nt Cora:gni:
is a stranger, caused a letter no be lieut.!, ordering an academic
nomination. This surreptitious order produced nothing but
contempt ; here then a tin: sou blues out. The Committees
exclaim, an evil spirit in the academies ! Are they to
be reduced ? No. Are they to be suppressed ? No. We must
at lesst issue au ordinance, and render the academie places
'evocable. A thousand projects are commenced ; finally they
catch at the idea of suppressing all the pennons that are
within their reach. We know not if the plan of suppressing
twenty-four plies at the Academy has been agreeable to hie
Fleellenty„ bat they have been burning papers these few days.
diminish the Academy of Inscription by ten places, at the mo-
ment when histrwieakand philological studies are so necosary for
the defence of religion and legitimacy, is an idea worthy of 11. de
COlllll E aE, but it does not belong entirely to him ; it is a matter
of pecuniary interest and base jealousy upon the part of some mono-
polists. The 31iiiister has been again deceirell. lie is the pro.
fessed enemy of the unreasonable accumulation of places. 1 hey
deceived him when they made hint heap upon four heads twenty.
two places, fourteen of shWeb could neither physically nor morally
be tilled bywhew indiyidnals. They trust of course not be sine-
cures, and if Ibis be the case, the mural policy and bounty impose
upon the Minister the duty of distributing them equally, so an to
twinkle for as many r.B tensible. The accumulation so much de-
sired by M. de ('oapitua, the Deputy, has never reached such a
height of ridicule as it has under )1. de Connie tie, the 31Inister.

in our Paper of Monday we alitaal to a representation
which had been laid before the Supreme t:overnment of
India, by Mr. ( 'sa wrorn, the Company's Resid-nt at ::in-
capore. We have since been favoured by a friend with
rotes from the original document, which we have no doubt
will be highly accep:able to our readera.
Mr. Canwpoeu commences his representation by stat-
ing, Orr he !cola upon the capture of the provinces from
'Posey to 31ergui, to be an effectual and by no means dif-
ficult mode of carrying on the war with the Burmese.
Iht then gives a short sketch of those countries, derived,
as he says, partly from well-known European authorities,
and partly from native coantrunicationso which he consi-
ders entitled to cridit.

These districts extend from Martahea, in about 16. 20.
