LONDON, FRIDAY, FEaau•AY 13, 1824.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, with the Etude of Wed-
nesday, reached our office last night. Great exertions, it
appears, are making in the provinces of Spain, to organise
Ferdinand's guard: enlistments were taking place at
Madrid, and in the capitals of the provinces, for the pur-
pose. Constant tumults (as the French papers call them),
it appears, vet take place, and tranquillity throughout
wretched Spain is far from being established. " A slight '
tumult" (the Nositeur says) took place at N'illacagnas,
but was put down by the firmness of the Meade. On the
20th of January (this paper adds) the Liberals of Pena-
sands de Braeamonte acted also in a menacing manner, to
which the people replied: a battalion of royal volunteers
left Madrid to restore submission. The two Castilcs (the
Muailear adds) are the great seat of insurrection: these
provinces (it says) were nearer to the focus of the revolu-
tion; it was in them the revolution had at one time
assembled its most faithful satellites, and they have left
(the Ministerial Paper states) fatal traces of their power.
The news front the frontier provinces, and from those
on the east and south (it adds), are highly satis-
factory. Deep discontent, we know, prevails through
every part of Spain, and is it only partially kept down
by the soldiers of France, who hold military occupa-
tion of that miserable country. "It is affirmed,"
says the Elude (how often has this paper made the
same statement!) " that the Decree of Amnesty will be
soon published with the modifications prepos..,d by the
Council of State and the C mined of ('astile, whom his
Majesty consulted on the subject. The distinctions so often
mentioned by this bigoted print are then once more alluded
to ; but months have passed away, and the amnesty has
not yet appeared. The French Cabinet, however, has cer-
tainly been pressing it ; and M. Marcellus was sent to Ma-
drid to supersede Talaru, for the purpose. The conces-
sion of this necessary measure in consequence, it would ap-
pear, has at length been made by the Spanish Ministry
and Ferdinand, and will probably soon appear, filled with
at many exclusions as the bigots, from whom it is extorted,
can contrive to introduce. It is char that any measure of
this sort will be wrung from the fears of the tyt ant and his
satellites, and not voluntarily conceded. The Journal des
Debuts states the recognition of a debt of thirty-four
millions of francs by Spain to France; but that it has
not pledged for the payment of this debt any of the
sources of its revenue. The acknowledgment, this
Paper asserts, is a simple one, without mortgage of any
sort—without (the French Paper adds) even any prospect
of future discharge. 1% hen all the details of our inter-
ference in the affairs of Spain (the Journal des Debuts con-
cludes by saying) arc known, and the convention by which
the French troops occupy that country signed and made
public, the generosity with which France has acted all
through to Spain will be seen and acknowledged. 'f he
Constdationne/ asserts that the salt duties of Arragon and
the customs at Miranda arc "hypothecated" for the slow
discharge of the this ty-four millions. This country (the
same Paper says) is also a creditor for twenty-two millions
