LONDON, SATURDAY, N,vtunek 6, 1863.

Last night we received the Paris papers of Wednesday.
Their most impurtant contents relate to the wretched
krigdmo of Spain, in which every conceivable species of
outrage is perpetrated, under the unction of the Royal
authority. A circular order, addressed by the Intendant-
Ceneral of Police, the notorious ReFINO GoNzaLez, to
the provincial officers under him, directs them to prepare
lists of all persons in their j.riselietion suspected of liberal
opinions, or of belonging to secret societies, or who have
.bceo speakers in political clubs, or purchasers of Os-
tioral domains. For what purpose these lists are to
Ise prepared we are not informed. It is not unlikely,
ti.at on the retirement of the French, whenever that event
may take place, the tr.assacre of St. Bartholomew will be
1:-.ected iu Spain. Arrests and executions multiply in
every direction, and for every offence; and the troops have
Iseer.publiely and ostentatiously rewarded for their fidelity,
who, an March Nit), war:lured more than .SM) inhabitants
of Cadiz, when they were aiserabled to celebrate the re-
establishment of the (:o: siltation. The Journal de Toe-
Luise states, that the I:ileac:NAV° has been for upwards
et twelve months confined in a dungeon at Roa, and that
ti.e wife of the late Minister of War, Cat; z, was not able
even to pass through the gates of the Fzeurial. A para-
g:sisi: in the Inciieateur de Bat deJux seems to render some-
reset doubtful the retirement of the French from Spain at
the beginning of nest year; it affirms that in all the
kre3eh garrisons the contracts Lave been announced for
supplying the troops with N-avisions fur I 5425. The Courtier
oLserver, that tl.is iutelligene • does not agree with
the rumours of the total or partial evacuation of Spain ; but
is a tds, that well-informal peeves do not hesitate still to
a-ert. that on the lit of next January the French trcope
reit return home, with the ,i.-c?ption of such u remain in
the principal fortresses of the Peninsula, and two Swiss
regiments for the guard of FERDINAND VII. The Paris
papers Lave a full but tot very accurate abridgment of the
iris: of Mr. FAUPiTI cans. On Srnday the KING ad-
tnitted to a special audience the Board of Commiuieners
for the Direction of 11,rspitals ; the Viee-Presiident, the
Duke ma Mosivrioneuev, made a suitable address to him
MAJESTY on presenting him wall the Code respecting
lusp:tals, printed by their order; the Kim: replied in
titer` terms:--

I receive, with much pioaurr, the Cameral Cauncil and Mem-
ber of the Board of Hospitals. All the good dune Ly the Cour.eil,

Respecting the " noted Guayaquil letter," of which so
much 'has been said, the Courier of yesterday redeemed
its pledge by publishing the name of the person from whom
the communication was received. This person is Mr. J.
H. Sn ftr, who has written a letter in his own vindication,
of which the following paragraph comprises all that is ma-
terial ;
" That the stamp of extreme probability was home by the let-
ter is evidenced by the opinions of many eminent military and other
characters from that country ; who have ' unhesitatingly' declared
their conviction, that it must have been written on the spot, from
the accurate local descriptions which it contair.ed. Of the high re-
spectability and character of the individuals in Liverpool who
received, and in Philadelphia who transmitted, the letter, not
shadow of doubt can exist. Of the manner how, and the person
by 1010111, it was sent to Philadelphia from Guayaquil, neither my
Liverpool friends nor myself can, al present, say any thing; but
such measures were taken, some time ago, es a ill determine con-
clusively whatever relates to that part of the case. This, I appre-
hend, Sir, is all the explanation you, or the public, can or will
require."
The Courier makes the following remarks on this epistle
apologti ical :
" One circumstance, and an important one, mentioned by lie.
Swaim, is undoubtedly the fact, via, that all the advicet received
for some weeks subsequently to the publication of his letter, proved
the existence of a belief through a long line of coast, In that
quarter, that such an event hail actually taken place. We can also
state that many respotable individuals, who were most competent
to judge of the probability of the details which it contained, con-
sidered them to be such as to afford the strongest internal evidence
of their accuracy. . .

" Among other prisons who called upon us the following day,
we may, without any breach of confidence, mention General Say
MAItT Is. No man could be more capable of deciding on the merits
of such a paper, and he, from the perfect correctness of the geogrs.
phical positioos, as well as from the general agreement of all the
circumsmnces, felt every disposition to conaidtr the account au.
thentic.“

It is manifestly impossible for the editors of daily papers
to avoid being sometimes deceived with false intelligence.
Unless they were gifted with superhuman faculties, they
must be liable occasionally to err in their judgments, and
especially where they rely upon the respectability of infor-
mants not connected with their establishments. All that
can reasonably be required of them is, that they should use
due caution in ushering their news forth to the world; and,
on referring to the Courier of the 2tith of July, the ever.ing
on which this Guayaquil letter was published, we find that
the editor introduced it with a suitable paragraph, in which
he clearly and candidly stated the grounds on which the
intelligence rested for credibility :

" We have no reason to doubt the authenticity of this document;
but it is proper we should state, that beyond the document itself we
have no intelligence of the important event which it communicates."

We had intended to have offered some remarks in our
Paper of to-day, on the leading article of the Times of yes-
terday, on the subject of " the outcry" which they com-
plain is now raised against them," " because they do not
come forward to reply to the challenge of persons who fancy
themselves to be friends of Mr. Fa T RON' ;" but as we
mean not only to expose the subterfuge and double-deal-
ing by which this Journal is endeavouring to escape from
the deep responsibility it has incurred by the false accusa-
tions, it has sent abroad against this unfortunate individual,
and as the so doing will lead us into a discussion of greater
length than tither our time or space still this day allow,
we shall postpone the task till Monday. The letter signed
" W.," in our paper of yesterday, contained certain home-
questions, which we challenge the partners of Mr. FAUN 1 •
I. E ROY to answer, and while these facts remain tincuntra-
dieted, it is in vain for them to requ.st the public to sus-
pend its judgment till the ltith of December ; the truth
fissile, too strongly in the face of every man to permit him
to resist the conclusions to which they lead : the public
cannot suspend its judgment, so lsng as the specifis: chugs
which those tines:ions involve stand against thorn tinse-
-1 • futed We will not suffer the Times to divert the atten-
ti.:n of the 7ublie, as it is now anxiously striving to do,
from the leading points to which—and to which alone—
it ought to be directed. Let it either verify the itnpu-
tatiun, it has so publicly cast on the private character of
Mr. Fat: N•ri.t ut»-, or as publicly withdraw then,. There
is tio other alternative that in honour or in justice is open to
it. As we shall return to the subject so soon, with this
suggestion we shall, for the present, leave it.

Th! Article we have copied from the DLL Ercaing
Post. respecting the commercial prospects and general pro-
sperity of Ireland, will be read with great pleasure. The
social and political condition of that country is now better
than it has been at any period of her history. The Irish'
begin to experience the substantial benefits of the Union;
and we trust that a corresponding improvement of public
opinion will keep pace with the happy change in public
affaire. The separation of the kingdoms has been always
a favourite subject with the factious orators of Ireland;
but v.! hope that the evidence now afforded by the growing
advantages of the Union, will deprive the agitators of this
fertile topic of seditious declamation. The interests of
both countries require them to be united ; but especially
are the interests of Leland promoted by its perfect
freedom of intercourse with this enlightened, wealthy,
and powerful kingdom. If the people of Ireland remain
tranquil, they may expect to share largely in the benefits
of British capital. Manufacturing establishments will
founded, and the trade of their ports revived and
extended ; and although Dublin may nut be blessed with
a triennial visitation of the 1.-gislaturts, nor shine with
all the splendor of its brightest days, the face of the
country at large will yet smile with plenty and con.
tent. 11'ith such prosrets before her, we confess we
cannot altogether listen with patience to the scandalous
language nhich some of those who ignorantly and mis-
chievously assume to be the leader.; of the Irish people,
occasionally put forth, to tealierate their prejudices
against England, anti excite their distrust of the King's
Governinctit. We can easily see through the hollow and
reluctant praises bestowed on the firm, vigorous, and
impartial administration of the Marquis 11' rre est.E
coupled too as they are with the unqualified abuse of
every member of the British Cabinet, whether friendly
or adverse to the (latholic question ; nor thall the
coarse calumnies heaped by Mr. O'CosNci on the
London press generally, prevent us from expressing our
decided dirapprobation of the course be has lately followed
in his weekly philippics against all things English. It is
the duty of every good Irishman to strengthen and in-
crease the attachment of his countrymen to their integral
connection with England. Instead of spreading this wise
and liberal sentiment, we behold a continual effort to renew
and aggravate the worst national prejudices, and revive the
most hateful charges that fraud and bigotry ever invented
II against the English Grzvernment. In the same article,

which announces the unprecedented prosperity uf the island,
we arc told of the " deepening discontents of Ireland;" and
in order that the writer might at once give us a specimen of
his good sense and pod feeling, he alludes to the poli-
tical opinions of that otiee well-known WILLIAM 010111 TT,
who pledged his unsullied word to his dupes to broil him-
self publicly on the gridiron, if gold a..d silver coin ever
again lice:alie current in England, and who, not being now
willing to redeem his faith at that expense, has since had
the amazing assurance to declare, that because country
bank-notes arc allowed to be circulated among those who
choose to have them in preference to sovereigns, his pre-
diction has not been falsified! With this impostor, the
Irish Catholic Association have concluded a treaty of al-
liance, though the British Association, much to their credit,
scouted the proposition to identify themselves with a man
who has successively been disclaimed by every party, and
every individual, even by !lc NT.

Ilis Majesty, we understand, will come to town in the
course of the ensuing week, when the Recorder, it is sup-
posed, will make his report of the convicts tried during the
two last Sessions at the Old Bailey.
Though no intelligence has been received from any part
of the world, the public securities have not only generally
kept their ground during the last two days, but in some
instances actually advanced, the South American stock
particularly. The Colombian and Mexican rose during
the course cf yesterday about three-eighths, and Consuls
experienced a similar rise. There was a rumour current
on 'Change yesterday, that two more banking-houses in
the west end of the town had stopped payment. Though
we cannot trace it to anything like an authentic source,
yet the report is very likely to be true, as the shake which
credit has got in that loaner, by the two recent failures,
must have a strong tendency to excite jealousy and alarm ;
and these apprehensions may cause a run, which even a
house ultimately able to satisfy all demands upon its funds
may not be prepared to meet without previous warning.
Tits Cott: mil! H. —This American wonder of the waters
was, by the accounts brought to town yesterday by a
gentleman who bad been on board of her, still lying at
anchor off Margate, the weather having been too boisterous
for her to put to sea on Ilreshieselay, and the wind right
ahead ; but if yesterday morning proved moderate she was
to proceed for the River.
The Sfar of yesterday claims to be excepted from the
charge of having committed, in common with the other
papers, the gross blunder of republishing, on Thursday,
the Greek news from the Monitrur, which they had given
on IVednesday from the Journal Iles Debuts. Yesterday
the ;same mistake occurred in some of the papers, with
respect to the news from Peru published on Thursday.
Captain Norton, of the Brasil brig of war Nethcroy, has
addressed a letter to a friend in London, giving the details
of the capture of Panambnco. They do not, however,
communicate any other new fact, than a statement of the
terms offered by Carvalho as the conditions of capitulation,
and which were indignantly rejected by General Lima.
These terms were—

I. That he and his fritnids should be allowed to depart un-
molested. he payinx thtir itassage.
2. That no one should be prosecuted for his political opinions.
3. That the officers and troops should retain their conr:lssions
until the pleasure of the Emperor is known.
Upon the rtjectien of Carvallio's terms he escaped, as
already stated, on board the Tweed sloop of sear, and ar-
rived an this country in the Brazen.
General Turner, together with his family and staff, will,
it is understood, embark in the coarse of ten days or a fort-
night, on board the Posthumous, a private vessel, which
has been hired for the purpose of conveying him to Sterro
Leone, and ('ape Coast Castle. The troops which have
embarked for Africa will proceed, in the first place. to
Sierra Leone, and will subsequently sail from that s ttle-
went, under the command of General Turner. for Cape
Coast. The olive branch, it is tunkrstooll, will then be
held out to the Ashantees, who will, at the same time, be
appris:d of the intention of the Majer.General to land and
tight, should the pacific offir not at once he accepted. The
Ashantees it is expected, will not hesitate to accille to the
proposed terms, as the whole country must now be luartily
tired of war. When all arrangements are finally settled,
! the Governor will return to Sierra Leone, with hart of the
Royal African Corps, which will relieve the West In-
dia Regiment, ordered to the Bahamas and Honduras.—
General Turner carries out a rich palanquin, canopy, &c.
with other prtsents, for the King of Ashantee, in the
event of his being friendly.

- Letters from Tripoli, hi Barbary, of the gel of September,
state, that of the English travellers who left that city, for
the purpose of penetrating into the interior of Africa. Dr.
Oudni, chief director of the expedition, has died, and also
the youngest of the travellers, M. Tcol. The latter set out
at the season last year, to join the others, who were then
staying at Bornou for some throe.
On Thursday there was a pro forma meeting of Parlia-
ment, which took place for the purpose of carrying into
effect the further prorogation ordered by the late procla-
mation. The Commissioners were, the Lord Chancellor,
Lord St. Helens, Lord Bexley, and Lord Gifford. The
Commons were represented by the clerks and officers of that
House; and on their appearance at the bar, his Majesty's
commission was read by Mr. Walmsley. The Lord Chan-
cellor, in virtue of this commission, notified his Majesty's
will and pleasure that the Parliament be further prorogued
until Thursday, the Gth of January next, " to be then here
holdt n." As the Noble and Learned Lord dial not add the
weres, " for the despatch of business," another proroga-
tion is contemplated, which probably will postpone the
day of actual meeting to the behinning of February.
In consequence of the failure of the Berners-street bank-
ing-house, which possessed its funds, the Stratford Club in
Oxford-street is about to be dilmolvtd.

On Friday the Body Corporate of Bath entertained the
Most Noble the Marquis Camden, K. 6., Recorder of Bath,
with a sumptuous dinner at York House.
THE BATH SEASON—We have the high gratification
of announcing the commencement of our season under the
happiest auspices. Such has already been the demand for
houses and lodgings, that there is scarcely a house or even
suites of apartments to be obtained in Pultcney-strect, or
the other parts of the new town ; and houses are equally
in demand in other situations.—Buth Girzette.

PRESENTATION OF TILE NEW :ZECTOR OF ST. PETERS,
CORNlllLL.—Yesterday the deputation appointed by the
Court of Common Council. consisting of Mr. Deputy
Routh, Mr. Deputy Kerl, Mr. Deputy Pullen, Mr. Yel-
lowley, Mr. Brogden, Mr. Jones. Mr. Gates, and Mr.

London, in St. James's-square, attended by Mr. Alderman
Wood and the City RemenibraLeer, to ptesent to his Lord-
ship the Rev. John Page Wood (the Alderman's son), who
W 35 elected, at the last Court of Common Council, to the
situation of Rector of St. Peter's, Cortihill. Ilis Lordship
received them with the utmost politeness and attention,
expressing his full concurrence and satisfaction at the
choice the Court had made. On their return Mr. Broplen,
one of the Common Councilmen of Alderman Wisod'-

tuous dinner at hip house in Bridgmater-stplaze.
new Rector will preach at St. Peter's Church to-morrow.

The price of iron has recently experienced an extraordi-
nary rise in. Scotland. So much has the demand incrcastd
of late, that pig-iron has risen from 5/. to tif. lOs a ton :
and bar iron from 13/. to Is/. los. a ton. The iron-works
are unable to supply one-half of the demand for the Scotish
and founderies. The iron-works at Nluirkirk alone
employ more than 1000 workmen, and they would employ
double the number, if they could be procured. One fur-
nace is at present erecting, rtl feet in eircumferimee. and
about 40 feet high. There are 360 colliers constantly
raising coal for the work ; the seams are 9,7, and 3i feet
thick. A great number of workmi us' houses are erecting,
and there is a great scarcity of wrights and Masolls.—
