Motion silJressed by Gravel O'Dusenu to iba
troops in garrison at Colts. whom he exhorts not
to listen to false and idle stories. Griming thee,
" that the limes person was levered and
and that " their holy religion hid not hero
outraged." Two regiments were marched net of
Cad's, and stationed within the lines of the Cunt.
dura and the walls of the city. Their fidelity to
the new order of things was suspected, and
derable apprehensions were entertained in Morbid
in consequence of General CRUZ pia MOURfauv
having marched suddenly twins Xeres with t 5,,,.„
thousand men. In the litria's insteuelie I to
the Officer', he complains of some repreivione
disresf.ctful to the Constitution which had heto
need by one of his body guards during the night of
the 13th, in Madrid; and we are informed! in a
short note appended to the letter of instroctunis,
that the KING alludes to • riot which had taken
place at the Cla4 Lireseini. This club, our
readers are aware, is composed of the most active
portioning of the Constitution, and it iv not imprieba.
ble that if " tbe power. that he" would cutter the
Journals to notice the afteir more
we should find that some members of the debates

The troops and people of Spin are fur the meet
part devotedly attached to the ministers of their
religion, who. in consequence, exercise a great M.
fluelice as welt iii public as in priest, affairs. The
success of the present revolution. by destroying the
tremendous power of the Inquivition, and confiscat-
ing its immense wealth, threatens • severe blow to
the domination of the priesthood; and it is there.
fore to be expected that this numerous and io.
triguing body of mein should endeavour by every
means in their power to excite the people and
soldiery to • coonter-revclution, sod no preiroces
ire better calculated to edict this object then to
represent royalty outraged arid oppressed, sod
religion insulted and degraded, its property the
spoil of sacrilege. and its saileasnities the sport J.
bereir and atheism. The KING*s declaration. wo
hope, will counteract the machinations of las worst
enemies. sod preserve Spain from the vi"lence of
civil contentions, to which such proceedings must
necessarily tend.

A Committee, composed of the leading Membete
or the Opposition in the French Chamber of De-
puties, with other friends to liberty, hes been forma
rd in Peril, principally for the purpose of afford-
ing relief to persons wbo may be imprisoned I.y the
arbitrary power given to the Ministers by the
low of March last. A prospectus of • subscriptius
for this object was published, and from • letter ad.

been instituted against sorer& those who, by &Sting
their signatures to the prorpectes, girrecneistinssite

if any crime were committed, they must have beau
as guilty as the other..
