time engaged in the attempt to invent an inimiinhle bask-

the Neeeon by Sir George Madman, and an coked from
his opinions on the means of p ling forgery had been in-

THE BRITI S H PRESS.

LONDON,
SATURDAY, Dacsmsza 14, me.

The French Papers of Wednesday are uncom-
monly destitute of news. The all-agitating ques-
tiou of war has subsided into petty altercations
among the Journalists. The Ministerial Papers
ore extremely fertile of misrepresentations and
fictions from Spain. The answer to them is, that
the Cortes are acting with equal vigour and mode.
ration, and that General Mitt♦ has driven all the
fugitives of the Faith into France. except the few
who have shut themselves up in the fort of Urge!.
It really is not worth while to notice or to refute the
falsehoods of the Qmolidienne respecting the Spa-
niards, or of the Asatrion Observer respecting the
Greeks. We are told that the Ministers are to 'ewe w
the deliberations of Verona at Paris, and the Eui-
perms at Vienna. We rejoice that the Congress of
St. Stephens will assemble seen; and will not, with
shut doors, and under the anxious protectil of po-
lice officers and spies, but in the face of the people,
and with the knowledge of all Eu►ope, discuss the
momentous questions which involve the peace and
liberty of the present age, and the happiness of suc-
ceeding generations. When the light of day breaks
forth, the ill-omened birds of darkness slink silently
into the shade. The following are extracts from
the French Papers of Wednesday
PAID, DECEMBEL 11.
Yesterday the King transacted business with the
Miuister of the Minnie.
The Etoik, which hitherto has been at war only
with the Journal des Debars, has commenced hos-
tilities with the Quotidienne. The latter wishes for
the establishment of absolute power in Spain, and
the Eloile says, that those who impute such an in-
tention to the French Government are persons of a
(nifty and treacherous disposition. All the Minis-
terial Journals are really fighting the campaign.—
(Constitetionnel.,
IA M. Guise, Legracieux, and Cassano, responsible
editors of the Constitutionnel, the Courier Francais,
and the Pilate. who had surrendered themselves as
prisoners, before the Connor Cessation pronounced
judgment upon their appeal, have been set at liberty.
Arrangements are being made at Angouleme
for the establishment of a telegraph upon the most
elevated tower of the castle of that city.

The Journal du Nord, of the Bth instant, an-
nounces the arrival of M. de Marchaugy at Lille in
the following terms M. de Marchungy, Advo-
cate-General of the Court of Cessation, and De-
puty of the department du Nord, is arrived in this
city. We have ascertained that lie will, this day,
visit the theatre, where true Royaliats will not fail
to assemble to do homage to one of the most zea-
lous defenders of monarchy; to this magistrate.
who has so justly obtained the title of the terror of
Carbonurisse."
A letter from the frontieri of Spain, dated De-
cember 2, says—" The defenders of the Faith have
nut lost hope. The torch of royalism is not ex-
tinguished. We have gained some partial advan-
tage... The Convention exclaimed that La Vendee
was destroyed, and La Vendee appeared with re-
!newed brillisecy. Never despair of the Spanish
Royalists !"—Ntiotadienne.)
It is calculated that the number of young sol-
dirt.. who remained disposable out of the class of
Nil, and who are called auto service, is from
4.2,000 to 23,000 men.
The Quotidierine concludes a vehement decla-
mation *pivot 'evolutions in these terms
",re we sure that a new revolution would al-

ways he favourable to us, and thst, amidst the
slio( ks to which thobe changes would give
rise, one might not happen which would shake mo-
noreliy for ever ? Let us take care of that ; the
stronger revolution may he abroad, the more united
should we be in order to combat it internally. Let
us close our rooks more firmly than ever. and if.
which Coal forbid ! we should not be able to save
Europe. let us ut least save Frauce, and let her be
like an impregnable citadel, whose defenders, bound
by the same interests, by the same oath, by the
same coverage, have sworn to die rather than err-
reuder to the enemy."

MADRID, DF.CII,III2R 2.
All the Journals of the capital this day publish
the ►ollnwing letter Iron M. Martinez de Is Rosa :
" I have just read, with astonishment, in the Unfainiso4
an a►::cle translated from the Journal Iles Debate of No-
vember 13, in which it is supposed that the Codes are
divided into three parties—that of the present Admini-
stration, ur the Frallador of the 7tb July; that of Ar.
goalks, and other members of the Curies of Cadia; and
lastly, of those persons who agree with MOrillo and Mar-
tine: de la Rues, is thinking some modificatious of the Cue.
*Wittiest possible at souther time, when they would not sp.
peat to be occasioned by foreign menacer.
"The statement of the Journal isms absurd Is eV its parts,
that I at first resolved to moister, the most profound silence
as to what related to me, personally, notwithstanding every
calumaiuss imputation. Bet particularly observing that
the Freach Misistorial Journals accuse in like manner as
Spanish Journal has done, in contempt of law and ssondity,
and apprehensive that some malevolent persons might consider
my silence as a proof of guilt, I feel it necessary to con-
tradict, is the most tot Dial manner, in the face of-the sodium
and of all Europe, that part of the article which concerns me
personally. Ido nut belong to any party, and have not
stirred up any upinioas contrary to she fundamental law by
which we are governed. My principles are as well known
as the candid and steady member is which t have supported
them upon all occasions; no person hay ever had the audacity
to propose to me that I should fail in the slighted degree,
in the folfilment of my word and my oath. I consider it a
misfortune to weary the attention of the public by this de-
studio° ; but it is not my fault, if, hariag fallen back into
the class of private citizens, I am still exposed to malice sod
persecution. " MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA."
Madrid continues very tranquil. Ministers hold
the reins of Government with so firm a hand, that
it is almost impossible for the machinations of the
ultra party to impede the progressiie march of the
system. We ore most positively assured that Go-
vernment have adopted serious determinations, and
that •gents are about to take their departure to
make purchases in Belgium and in England.

Tile Landaba r lan Society continues its interesting
sittings. Young men of very good families con-
trod for the honour of speaking there.
A part of the national horse guard of Madrid
have returned from the expedition to Foncaral.
A vessel arrived from Rio Janeiro (the Phenix)
brings news that the Prince Royal has mucked at
the head of some troops to subdue the province of
St. Paul, which refuses to recognize the Brazilian
Cortes. The capital is in the greatest disorder,
notwithstanding the presence of the Princess Royal,
who has been appointed Regent daring the absence
of the Prince.

CORTES.
SITTING OF TS'S 4StH NOVEDISSII.
M. Nicolas de St. Rewind complained of the
difficulties attached by the Court of Rome to mar-
riage dispensations, and requested the Cones to
apply a remedy.
The united Ecclesiastical and Political Com-
mittees, in pursuance of the application of
MM. Canga, Moreno, and miter members, who
complained to the Cortes of the conduct of the
Court of Rome, which takes alma itself the pro-
hibition, and placing the index of several Spanish
works, desired that the Cortes decree that • foreign
Court, no matter what, cannot have the power of
interfering iu the internal affairs of the Spanish
nation, which ought no longer to endure or tolerate
what it did tolerate to the absolute authority of its
K togs.
M. Falco said the Report of the Committee
niiglit be reduced to a very brief matter, since, ac-
cording to Article 170 of the Constitution, to
remedy all inconveniences, it will suffice for the
Government to oppose the circulation of the Papal
• Bulls which should be at variance with our present
political situation.
M. \relate° said, that although mach attached to
his religion, he could not with iudiffeeence see the
Pope • pproveof a decree in which all the most sacred
principlesof the Gospel are forgotten, and the object
of which is no other than to prevent the circulation of
valuable works, in which their authors have de-
veloped just and sound ideas, which clearly demon-
strate the rights and duties of men. if this letter
of the Pope continued to circulate freely, it would
serve only to carry discord and division into families,
who would not be occupied with discussing whether
it were a letter or a mere local edict, but who would
consider it solely at a Bull from Rome, prohildaimg
sun h or such works, I vote then for the Report of
the Committee, and I regard it as an object of the
highest importance, that the Court of Rome should
know that the Spaaisb nation will always respect the
successor of St. Peter as head of the church, hut
that it will resist with vigour all those of his suc-
cessors who forget the sacred character of their
ministry of peace, end throw aside the pastoral staff
in order to gird on the sword.
M. Cangu, in • very long speech, defined his
proposition, whose object was, he said, to avoid the
scandal and wrong which this edict might cause,
which makes a violent attack uptin the inviolability
of Deputies, the national movereipty, and even the

royal authority. This Bull was treated as a loch.
edict, though it is addressed to all the Bishops ur
Christendom, of whom the Court of I{ome wishes
to avail itself as its devoted agents for attaining ti e
end it has in view. to fact, the oath of obedietr..e
of the Bishops anger unlimited with respect to the
devotion they owe bs their spiritual head, that it we.,
not surprising the latter should think he had
right to require every thing front thee, eartieulatly
in so religious a country as Spent.
The discussion was still continued,, when M.
Tutus said the Cortes ought not to bestow so rends

time ou such matters, which were rather point' of
theology thou of polities, wad st west 1,04 of ii -
terest to the eighth century. He was of opinion
had been demonstrated that the measure* proposed
by the Committee were necessary for the Consolida-
tion of public liberty. He concluded with Awe.
Mg, that the Court of Rome having recognised the
Constitutional Government of Spain, it had broke::
its sworn faith, with the view of fomenting* civil wart
and partieularly by asserting the non.inviolability
of Deputies, when the Constitution had declared
the contrary. The Report of the Committee way
approved of.

The Portuguese Charge d'Affaires was present
at the ritting. At the moment he entered a Deputy

The trial of the late Beams newspaper, for a libel
upon Jowls GIBSON. Esq. of Ingliaton, we have
given so fully, that we have left little room for re-
mark, and indeed remark is rendered superfluous,
by the ample disclosure of the facts and circum-
stances of the ease in the evideuee. Mr. Giasoi,
one of the used honourable and indepeudent men
in Edinburgh, was almost always attarkettl in the
atrocious libels upon Mr. STUART, which led to
the erath, by duel, of Sir ALEXANDER Boswett.
The !Axel in the present instance was preyed to be
wholly false, yet it amouuted to nothing lee* than
a charge of the foulest murder by the basest meAtui.
This false and fool libel was, beyond all question-,
written by some Tory who now associates with the
highest Tory Society iu Edinburgh. To the ttir-
;mode of writing such a libel he has added the iii..
comparable cowardice of reinitiating unknown. We
would not have a friend of ours uoiociiite with the
tainted society who shelter such an unparallered
assassin.

A letter from Trieste, dated November 24. says—
" A vessel from Sayre& brings letters Rohn Celia.
loots of November 16, which say that Omer Vrione
bad advanced sear to Missolongi, bat had been de.
tested there. We hear nothing more of the Greek
Deputies, who, of coarse, could never be recognis-
ed in that character. Many persons pert' doubt
their arrival and sending away from Verona. A
letter from Aucona of the 18th of November also
mentions the defeat of Over Vrisne."
Oft the snivel of Lord LIVERPOOL at the City
of London Timm yesterday evening, where beim'',
the Chair, for the first time, as President of the So.
ciety of Ship-owners, he was introduced to the Vice-
Presidents and the Committee in their private room,
wheo the list of toasts, which had been previously
arranged, were submitted to his Lordship. %Volt
the exception of one, they rum with his Lordship's
approbation. That to which he objected end d, -
dined giving was, " An open competition iii the
West India Docks, at the expirtition of the Char-
ter." From this various coot-loaning will no doubt
be drawn. One party will consoler it toi indicattic
of • favourable feeling towards the monopoly; wink
another may think his Lordship merely wished to
avoid prematurely prosiouticisig an °pluton on the
subject.—(Morning CA ronick.)
On Wednesday Mr. Huncornit applied to the
Lobo MAYOR. in the mune of the Committee upon
'Tithes, for permission to hold a meeting of the
Parishes of the City of London, in the Egyptian-
hall of the Nlansion-house. His Lordship inure.
diately acceded to the request ; but we understand
that he is not to preside, being of opinion that he
could not with propriety do so, as he is one ofShosc
empowered by the Act uf Put Innuent to decide upon
the question.
