LONDON, THURSDAY, Drcsmsta 1, 1825.

The Paris Papers of Monday and the Etoile of the fol-
lowing day have been received. The judgment of the
Royal Court with respect to the Conitituti9nnel had not been
given. On Monday M. Msamnou was heard in defence
of the Courrier Francais. An abstract of his speech will
be fottnd in another column.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA, it appears, had quitted
Presburg hastily, in anger, on account of the strong
language in which the Hungarian Diet had stated their
grievances. An answer expresstse of the imperial dis-
plec•mre was returned a few days before the Em re noa left

would arrive in the course of the day. Immediately all the pope.

tion of any kind should be made for his reception, and that none of

apartments. We are now certain that their Majesties will stay the
whale winter among their faithful subjects of Vienna. The
Qom* and Princess of Bavaria us expected in eight or ten days.
We cannot give any very satisfactory news respecting the Hun.
gorier Diet. It is no Wager a mystery that the grievances addresdtd
to ilia in the name of that assembly were stated in a min-
ium calculated to displease. Sane days before the departure of his
Majesty horn Presburg, the Diet received the royal resolution in an.

stantsal, sad drawn up with great energy—that it will he printed—
red that the dignified language in which it is conceived will meet,
in general, the greatest approbation. It is affirmed that it was drawn
up by one of our mast distinguished statesmen.
We have received letters from Constantinople by the courier de-

This was a kolyday at the Bank, but still there were
large bargains done for to-morrow, and the Account trans-

actions were also very heavy. At the commencement of

• piece between the Bulls and Bears, in which the latter
went triumphant, and consequently the quotations declined,
for money to-morrow to nil, and for the Account to 83;11.

The restoration of the Pope's health, which is the subject of
'general satisfaction, may be considered complete. The 'smilaxes
which he gives, the business which he transacts, sufficiently prove
that he has regained all his strength t and the decrees which ema-
nate from his wisdom prove his ceaseless solicitude for the good of
his subjects.

It is announced that the King of Spain left the Escurial on the
22d instant to return to Madrid. It is added, that his Majesty will
arrive at the Prado, two leagues from the capital, soon after the

Faithful Majesty, has arrived at Lisbon. lie has been received
with the customary formalities. 'f he presentation of his credentials
will be delayed, in consequence of the state of the King's health,
who still suffers too much to be able to keep up. M. de Velum,
who has held the situation of Charge d'Affaires to Spain since the
departure of the Duke de Villa Hermosa, is recalled to Madrid,
and will be replaced as First Secretary to the Eirbsssy by M. tie
'lea, brother to the Minister of that name.

Letters from Lisboa, undeiTlXOf the 12th instant, state,
that an extraordinary Council of S:ate was called at dlufra. to

encourages the belief that the King will be advised to may this
treaty.
At the latter end of Octobes M. Castellojattached to the Spanish

bearer of a courier's passport. given by the Spanish Ambassador
at Paris, the ((overt:yr of Christianatadt would not permit him to

SPAIN,

Extract of a private letter from Madrid, dated Nov. 17,
1112.5:
+ as The Minister h disappointed many of the UitITA by his
mem d there is ground for here, that, if be continues as he
Woo, n luny yet be rescued front the fate which menaced her.
He has annulled many of the demo; against the Constitutionalists
which were passed during the Ministry of M. Zea ; who, it seems,
had not sufficient influence to contend against the fanatics, and has
declared to the Foreign Ambassadors that he desires to see the
interests of the Church and State identified with those of Civil and
Religious Liberty. Every thing here, however, sad throughout
the country, is in the most wretched stare. The roads are covered.
with banditti, who now carry on their depredations in safety, the
volunteers by whom they were frequently routed having been in
most places deprived of their arms, which they were ton prone to
use against the defenceless Constitutionalists. The condition of
the army is desperate--desertion and rebellion are very common.
We bear from N'alencia that the garrison of that place has re-
volted, from the want of rood and similar events are to be ex.
petted in many other places. You have perhaps heard that the
crops have been much injured by locusts; so extensive was the
calamity that the Gazette contained a circular from the Council
of Castile, pointing out the means to be adopted against these ene.
macs. In many places they have made the face of the country
barren. The new French Ambassador appears ro Fe rather in
favour, notwithstanding that he is said to be the bearer of a warm
remonstrance from France, and indeed of an Oat:vaunt. Two
days after his arrival at Madrid he had a private audience of the
King, at which he explained to him the views of France. Imme.
diately afterwards the following was circulated among the Spanish
Grandees, as an authentic abstract of the principal points in the
French ultimatum. I send It to you without undertaking to vouch
for Its authervicity, but it is so generally talked of here, that there
is reason to believe that in essence. at least, it is correct.

•• let. The immediate payment of twenty-five millions of francs,
the first instalment of the debt due to France, and already consider-
ably over due.
•• 2d. The publication of a full and entire amnesty to all persona
who were promised protection by the French Authorities.
" 311. The appointment of Commissioners to treat with Com-
missioners from South America, on the subject of the recogni-
tion of its independence, under the mediation of France, or of
any other European Commercial Power, to be approved of by
_France, it being considered by all the Commercial Powers of Eu-
rope that a further delay must be inimical to thairinterests. It is
understood that the basis of this negotiation wont, bb a liberal dou-
tem to Ferdinand.

" dth. Such an arrangement of the finances of Spain as would
present a guarantee of the debt due to France. This being done,
and a constitutions; charter promulgated, the French troops to be
withdrawn, bid the French Oovernment to bind Itself by treaty,
wish the concorreoce of Xngland and re rtugel, td lend troops
to assist the King in the event of any attack upon his constitutional
authority."
Titan is a great deal of discussion here about the Vign Bay
scheme, for recovering the galleons that were sunk in the reign of
Philip V. An extraordinary courier arrived here last week, with
Intelligence that some of the ships had been discovered entire, but
buried up to the gangways in mud, so that it will not be an easy
matter to raise them ; but as it is proposed to work slowly by means
of the diving bell, the treasure may be got out, if it be true, as re.
ported, that they are whole. It is, however, • question hare, whe-
ther much, it not all, of the treasure was not removed before the
vessels were sunk. It is true, indeed, that there is no record of this
sort in the Spanish treasury, and the Ministers declare the contrary;
but as Ferdinand has all to gain by the experiment, and nothing to
lose, it is not likely that he would he candid enough to slate any
doubts which he mien feel on the subject.

A letter from Alvarado, of so late a date u the lvt Octo-
ber, bag the following extract:—" Several vessels of we
have come out for this Government, and are now off the
Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa, waiting to attack the Relevo,
daily expected from the Havannah witb supplies; and if
they should succeed in beating it off, the Commander, Gen.
Coppinger, will soon be under the necessity to surrender.
Besides, a frigate and two brigs of war have arrived from
England.

The Eioile publishes the decree of the Peruvian Go.
vernment against the commerce of Spain. extending the
confiscation of Spanish goods to the vessels which carry
them as wcU as the goods themselves.
_ _

A letter from Leipsic states, that as scon as they knew
in that city of the failure of the house of• Williams, of
London, one of his partners, who had been at the fair to
make some considerable purchases, attempted to put a
period to his existence, but was happily prevented by some
of his friends.—Etoile.

The letters received from St. Petersburg)] attracted great
attention yesterday. The weight. the contents, and mea-
surement of goods imported into Russia, must now be
put in the body of the bill of lading, and if tin re is any
error, it will subject the ship and cargo to confiscation.
This very extraordinary and new regulation will throw still
greater difficulties in the way of the commerce of this
country with Russia.
Accounts from Elmina, a Dutch settlement near the
English fort Cape Coast Castle (Africa), dated 18th
September, state list the Dutch Governor h so incensed at
the English General. Turner, who charged insti-
gating the natives in the late attack on the English settlers,
that he will immediately proceed to Holland to lay the
whole affair before the Dutch Government.

We have received Quebec Papers to the Ist instant;
They give no intelligence worth extracting. -Os* of rheas
papers mentions, that during the hoe awful fires, not
only has the whole surface of the earth been burnt up,
but that in many cases the earth has been burnt to the
depth of two and four feet. It recommends this fact to the
consideration of the men of science in England.
The last letters from Lisbon mention the arrival of two
English line-of-battle ships, the Spartiate and Albion, in
The Tagus, on the 9th ; the Spartiate from South America,
in a very leaky state, with her main-mast sprung, and
making nearly two feet water an hour; she was met with
at sea by the Albion, which kept company with her, and
saw her safe into Lisbon. The Albion being from Gib-
raltar, was put under quarantine. and still continued ao
when these advice* came away. The Superb was to sail
in company of the Spartiate, for England, on the 20t1eof
last month, and, from the prevailing winds, may be hourly
expected.
THE COTTON SPECITLATION.—A Boston Paper of the
4th November says—" We have seen several private letters
from New York, which mention that extensive failures,
growing out of the late cotton speculations, were daily cog-
curing in that city ; the bank had positively stopped dis-
countingland confidence was impaired, and a general gloom
prevailed in the mercantile community. One letter from
a commercial gentleman says, ' The merchants along
Trint and Pearl streets are cracking like parchetl corn.'l
It is stated that the debts of five of the mercantile heuses,
which have recently failed in New York were estimated
at 2,500,000 dollars, and that the available funds would not
exceed 76.000 dollars."

The East India Company haireontributed to support
mercantile credit in the present en t gency. The Directors
were On Tuesday applied to to discount bills to a large
amount drawn oft them from China, and having several
months to run, which they literally consented to do at the
rate of 4 per cent.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

TRI.IL OF THE COURUIER FRANCAIS.

On Monday, M. Merillsou, the Advocate for the Cour-
ritr Francais, was loud before the Royal Court of Paris
in defence of his ciients. After having noticed the diGicult
circusnatances undtr which be appeared before the Court,
Monsieur M. proceeded as follows:
" Rchlion alone is the pretext of the attack upon my clients, and
yet they have never denied the doctrines nor the revelation of that
religious nor the historical facto connected with it '--they have re-
spected its do trines, its mysteries, and the hierarchy devoted to its
.service. Whet reproach, then, can be made against the journalist ?
He is reproached with what is caned his hypocrisy,—that is to say,
his circumspection, his prudence, the discretion and respect with
which he spoke of things which he was bound to respect-with his very
innocence. Be la reproached with rot having been sufficiently cud-
pablein the eyes of those who have attempted to put an oust to the
Motorcars of legal opposition. The first accusation of tendency rested
upon 182 articles, the preceding process included 80 articles, and
now, when 16 months have elapsed since your last judgment. that
is to say, upon four hundred and eighty numbers of the Journal,
the public Ministry bare reduced the obnoxious snicks to 83.
The public 31inistry does not deny the false miracles, the lictiiotts
relics, and the canonizations at Home, which have not been ad-
mitted in France, yet we are prosecuted for saying that there are
false miracles and fictitious relics. The Ministry acknowledges
that Ecclesiastics may have committed faults, and yet, because
we relate the faults of some Ecclesiastics, we are accused of having
stated before the Ministry what they have stated after us. The
public Ministry complain that we do not, like them, admire cer-
tain Ecelesistiod Corporations ; and yet they carrot deny that
Catholicism may flourish without Monks and without the Sot.
bonne. You hare heard a great deal of the Trappists, or the
lirotiters of the order of .Charity, of the Missionaries (freers ig-
norantinr), with respect to whom we have meationed only a few
objections. and on this head we are told the discussion is aban-
doned. But nothing has beeo said to you of the Jesuits, whose
ambition we have exposed; yet it most be apparent to every body
that the re.estoblishment of that society is the only motive for the
plasm process; and because the joumals are and will be an
obstacle to its re-establishamot, it is found necessary to attack

thew. ' What you ray is tpricent., what sou is true, but you
Int/Mien is criminal.' Th It this langulge which is addressed to
us. Whatever may be the Idea formed of the accusation which is
submitted to you, the insult will be of great durable importance.
It is a cone, d'essai of the ecclesiastical power to render the Clergy
invulnerable. to place as impenetrable veil between their faults and
Ifeeblitity. It is the supplement to the Law of Sacrilege, and
that by d-grees we shall succeed in aecacing le the agents of au-
thority impunity under the penalty of a process of tendency towards
sedition, while the Clergy will be made filially mate by the threat
of a prosecution for tendency towards irreligion."
The Court having heard M. Mcrilliou to considerable
length, adjoitrued the cause until Motiday next, when he
will resume his argument.
