PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, uxucti 24.
Laurel was taken yesterday morning from the
prison of the Couciergerie, and conducted under a
strong escort of gendarmes to the place where the
Chamber of Accusation of the Court Royal bolds
its sittings. Ile here underwent a new examination
before the Commissioners of the Chamber of Peers,
and the Attorney-General Bellart, and was after-
wards confronted with several witnesses who were
previously examined in the original proceeding.
Nothing has transpired of the result of this pro-
cess, hut every thing announces that it is approach-
*tug to au tad, and that the Chamber of Peers,
constituted into a Court of Justice, will slimily
proceed to the trial.
A Radical Journal announces that the populace
of Madrid repaired to the Palace of the Eoglish
embassy, and broke its windows. if this news be
true, this violation of the laws of nations, this out-
rage towards the representative of an allied Power,
must excite an apprehension that the demagoguts
in Spain are laying aside the moderation so much
extolled by Mir friends in Pori!, and are deliver-
ing themselves up to deplorable excesses.—(Ga-
zelle de France.)
The Madrid Gazette of the 14th of March con.
tons several Edicts relative to the administration
of justice, dated the 12th.
" Tbe sing desiring to give to this administration the se -
tivity necessary fur the psek tranquillity, anal required by
the brneficeut principles sanctioned by the Constitution of
the Spanish 3loitareby, has re-established the Supreme Tri-
bunal of Justice, instituted by the 259th Article of the said
Constitution."

" Considering tilt re.establipliment of the Supreme Tri-
bunal of Justice incompatible will. the Constitution of the
Tribunals known under the tinnic of Councils, the King has
commindril their suppresgion."

The Councils coinri.o-rl in thin Edict are the
Councils of Camille, the of Order., anti of
Finances, coml.-flog alto;;ether of 300 Comm-Hopi.
The Council of the Inquisition, already suplintoitil,
cotoisted only of 36, and the ancient Council of
State, which 16 al.o extinct. of 47.

" It was on the evening of the 12th, at four o'clock. that
the stone of the Custstitutiun was re-established in the Great
Square, with the greatest solemnity. The assembly was nu-
merous and brilliant."

" The Kiug has token for his Confessor P. Marina, a
canon of St. Isidore, 3it ecclesiastic who rnjo,s the highest
estimition at Ooliticl, and rt commend, d by the moderation
of his principles and his intelligence"
The cuutier from A orialosia of the 7th had not
Arrived at Nlddrid ou the 13t1i, because it hail been

capital had pronounced itself.

GERMAN PAPERS.

BERLIN. MARCH 7.

The papers published in the Official Gazette,
chewing the exis.teoce of irsoloionaiy sores u s,
give rise, it is true, to various opinions; hot all
unprejudiced persoosmust allow that these, though
often absurd ex pi easions of inexperienced youth,
prove a great corruption anionsf, the teachers which
it is highly necessary to retnedy. The contagious
insanity mast have spread far, when children pat.
tend to reform states. It is asserted that during, the
late carnival, forty students, in a Prussian University,
appeared ut a nmsqueratle in the most indecent
dress, or rather s:o arcto, HMI conducted themselves
in a most riotons manner. %%re wholly mt.s the
modesty of the German youth, of which we used to
boast. Tlw papers relative to M. De Wette are
very much read. People are surprised to find him
a Professor of D!vittity, saying, that he does not be.
litve himself all that he wrote to tlie mother of
Sand, in a letter of condolence. De says, one must
not so strictly adhere to truth.
The new retrenchments in the army will amount
to the sum of 7,000 dollars per ununm for each bat.
taboo. It is intended to make on the whole a
saving of two millions.--(frankfort Papers to

LONDON.
TUESDAY. MARCH 28, 1990.

Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last have
arrived at oar Office. Loynd, the murderer of
the Duke Ds Beauty, has undergetw another ets-
mivatioo, the result of which has not transpired.
but it is thought to be final, and that all the pre-
paratory proceedings being now nearly completed.
the trial of the assassin will shortly take place be-
fore the Court of Peers.

Every day furnishes some further decree from
the King of tirstn, who, in unison with the senti-
ments of his Council and the wishes of the pros
tile, proceeds unceasingly in the work of demo-
lashing his own much-loved system of arbitrary
power, and promoting the establishment of the
fret Constitution. By i decree of the 14th of
March, the KING has stipprersed all the various
tribunals known under the name of Councils, and
bas, in their place, erected the "Supreme Tribunal
ofJustice." and the accestar authorities required
by the Constitution of the Cotter. The powers or
this tribunal are very ample, and extend to all
parts of the Spanish monarchy. It takes cogni-
zance, by way of ripen', of all judgments pros
notinet'd by any other Court of Judicature ; hears
sod determines impeachments preferred by the
Corks against the Ministers of the Crown ; investi-
gates all causes of suspension and deprivation of
State Couto' hors and judicial officers ; take. cog-
nizince of criminal cases against Alinisters, Cows-
iollors of State, and Magistrates, upon charges pre-
ferred by the First Magistrate. &c. The members
of this Court have been named, and are the same
us were appointed by the Council of State on the
I4th of May, 1814.
It may perhaps be important to souse of our
merchants to know, that by 'a circular letter of the
Li•li of Match, addressed by the Minister of Finance
to ad the. Directors of Customs, the exportation
Gtr of all duty, whether Royal or municipal, is
permitted front the ports of Spain of all sorts of
groin, brandies, wines, vinegar, and liqueurs.
M'lth respect to the freedom of the preoi in Spain,
we are vattfully apprised that the Juntas of Ctne
sursbip, notwithstanding their ill-sounding name,
are a stroug stcntiry ler the liberty of public writ-
ing. Tho Cortes having reserved for the future
11. liberation of the National Assembly the qua-alias
rehoise to the institution of the Trial by Jury in
Spain, were mistilliog iii the mean time to leave
the fit-edam of the press without some safeguard ;
they therefore established a Supreme Junta of Cen-
sorship, the members of which must be persons of
cousideration, and especially literary men, wholly
ifolependt nt of the Goverianent, and nominated by
the Cartes. Should any writing be deenurced by
the Authorities, it must be first submitted to the
Junta of the province. Should the Junta, on ext.-
'vitiation. conceive that the writing is lint an abuse
of the freedom a the press, all prosecution instantly ,
ceases ; but should the majority of the members
eidertaiii a data-tilt cpinion, the author or pub-
Itsher is apprised of it, mid is permitted to defend
himself by welling. Should his defence or excuse
be deemed satisfactory by the Junta, lie is acquit-
ted ; but if the Junta decides otherwise, the defend-
mot, who still continues at large, may tippet)l to the
Ss.pretne Junta, and it is Hot Isnot the Supreme
Junta has derided against him that proceediogs
stricly legal call be instituted.
These official accounts from Madrid prove Ihe
facility with which the King of SrAIN
accommu-
dates himself to the new order cf affairs, ootwith-
siandiog his public assurance to the people a few
days before the necessity of his submission ap-
pealed so strongly to his sense if danger, that he
had been long labouring in vain to effect some re-
form in the administration of the kingdom, but
that lie bad found the obstacles opposed to his ex-
ertions altogether inviticit le. It is easy for °ate pos-
sessing the sweets of power to shake his seise head
sod say. that the exist tug system is to exquisitely
formed that the alteration of a single point must de-
s!: ay the *hole fabric. The people of Spain hale
so far assented to the re:monis% of their rule's,
and admitting the impossibility of a partial reform
in the system, have determined to remove it alto-
gether, sod in its place establish one founded upon
other principles. Such must generally be the
result of in obstinate refusal so correct gross
and glaring errors. The deformity of ■ few parte
is unfortunately assumed by the unthinking multi-
tude as the character of the entire, and a moderate
partial reform no longer enters their contempletiou.
It Ss the part of prudence to turn the errors of
others to mar's own advantage. The cry for radi-
cal reform bad -Hewer been beard iu England had
Pal iament wisely removed some of the grossest
absurdities that divorce our representative system.
The strongest appeal to the public had been want.
ing had the elective franchise beets traisaferred
long since from Old Sarum, or such dilapidated
boroughs. to the flourishing lawns of BirmAtegleim,
Leeds, Imul Manchester. The Meets of escaping
danger, however. come never_ too iste,..o4 we
therefnee look forward with ei feeling of anxious
hop; to the next Session of Parliament, when we

Moderation and tranquillity Mill prevail IN the
capital of Spain, but the Ultra-Royaliet Jonnwils
of Paris threaten us with le &aviator, intelli-
gence from that •nhappy country." They look
hack to the events of the French Revelation, and
believe !kat Spain must follow is every instance
the condo. t of her neighbour ; not reflecting
upon the iciest differences between the national
character. of the Spanish and French people. the
absence a foreign interference iu the affairs of
Spain, awl the mutual moderation and confidence
hitherto apparent on the part of the Spanish troops
and their Kris*.

An article from Vienna speaks of the airier&
nary sensation produced in that capital by the se.
count of the Cato-street conspiracy in Loudon.—
It seemed to produce, says the writer. a kind of
horror and stupefactioti," acid was instantly adopted
as a proof of the connexion subsisting between the
discontented throughout the various nations of
Europe. It is asserted that the intelligence of
the London conspiracy, and of the insurrection in
Spain, exercised a great influence over the assembly
of the Congress, and the Ministers 'lnstantly de-
voted themselves to discover the measures most ef-
fectually calculated to cheek the revolutionary
fever that seemed to actuate some countries in En.
rope. Their solicitude for the safety of Europe
leads these Ministers into very vain labour, if it
induces them to form any projects for securing the
tranquillity of England, nr preventing the revolu-
tion in Spain. The one is in no danger of bring
disturbed, and the other is beyond the control of
the united power of Germany.
Au account of the sudden revolution in Spain
will be immediately transmitted to the Caracas and
Buenos Ayrer, with the copy of a Proclamation,
representing the benefits of this event as belonging
equally to Americans and Spaniards. l'he pro-
since* of South America, however, are lost to the
Mother Country without the possibility of being
recovered.
