M. let chlin was restored this morning to the society of his cu.
memos hands. Ile came out of the prison of Saint Pelagic be-
tween eight and nine o'clock, af.er a confinement of six months,
during whiel he was annoyed by many things to which a prisoner
ought not to be exposed.
On the Ilth of this month Prince d'Anglona arrived at Bayonne,
from Madrid, with his family and suite, composed of about thirty
persons, and accompanied by the Count .llntallorida ; these two
Noblemen are exiled Irons Spain. The Prince d'A..glona pro-
ceeds to Italy. We are informed that a gnat number of other
persons of flitinetion have lately arrived In trance.

It is reported that Damn d'Eroles has rectited orders to repair to
liladrid. This order is supposed ro have been caused by the con-
duct which the Baron has lately displayed towards Gen. Ilaringone
sal the French troops.

.!rt speaking of the conduct of the 'llinisterialists and Oppo-
rhonists, with reference to the present electioneering contests, the
Jusetal des Debate observes—•• Both parties are now seeking to
"411 m the ‘ietnry ; and they have an incontestable right to use
vim utmost skill in directing the suffrages of the electors, for the
Promotion of their respective Daterests. la representative flovern.
Inents the elections are the periods when the denaocratical part of
ti*Constisurou exercises its power. Nothing is more natural than
!ma popular feelings should be excited on such occasions. In Eng-
"'A, at the time of the parliamentary elections, every one ranks
himself under the twiner of his party ; the 31:nister has his a. well
a the Oppositionist. They publicly expend on both sides enormous
"Too. ann'.- at length end the contest by actually fighting on the bust.
Ings• CePt. Id as well,all inisterial Candidate, was seriously wounded
mrtueitars sinpe at the Westminster election. Our manners, hap.
poly rot us, do nut admit of such electioneering madness; but still
we here gazettes, pamphlets, and declamations. When the popular
..,Porrer sets, it is impossible that it should not carry with it its own
'not*, and express itself in its own proper language. It Is
noonsalry, therefore, that this power should not be called into action

too often, as it would lead to a ftate of &touchy. This is the ha-1
st4e why annual elections are so dangerous."
The Mouiteur, in its official part, confirms the intelligence we
announced on Tuesday, upon the authority of a private letter, that
the King of Spain had signed a decree, which grants the liberty of
a free trade with South America to all nations, on the footing of an
equality of duties. This decree, as we learn from as erratum of
the Journal des Debuts of 3londay, has been obtained by the inter_-
Vosition of France ; probably one of the fruits of the mission of the
iscount filarcellus. The following is the correction to which we
allude :

" I rnporlant Errala.—fn our number of yesterday, under the
head l'aris, we said, 'it (the telegraphic despatch) announced that
Ferdinand VII.. at the solicitation of SptliN,. for which read, 'at
the solicitation of France, had issued a decree, &c.' "
We learn from these parrs also, that the convention which re-
gulates the occupation of ;wain by French troops had been signed,
together with the treaty respecting naval prises, and the recognition
of a debt of 34 millions. These." observes the Journal der De-
hats," terminate all our private affairs with Spain."
