PARIS, NOVEMBFR_42O.

We have received the Spanish Papers too late to
be able to Atarislate their contents for this
j.turnal. Our Bayonne Correspondent writes us,
let the Madrid courier was stopped *bout a league
o the other ride of Vittoria by a baud of about a
dozen individuals ; it is thought they are the head
of a counter-revolutionary party. The continued
stay of the King at the Escurial has produced some
sigiestion in Madrid ; the Cortes, nevertheless, ter-
n nati-a their Session rso the 9th, without tier pre-
te2tce of his dlajrsts•.—(Gozette de Prima.)

tPRIVATE CORRESEON DEN t E.)
Tile courier from Madrid sus stopped yesterday
between Miranda and Vittoria, by a troop of twelve
armed men, who seized the dispatches of which he
,4jS the bearer.
Ou► political situation is such as to excite the
n•ost lively disquietude. The above event may
C •uvey some idea of the disorder+ which begin to
alarm the peaceable. It is asserted that various
armed bands are already tritsertiog different pro.
Boers. A great majority of the clergy, whose in-
terests are annihilated by the constitutional stem,
err making, it is said, every effort to org.niar a
(mendable uppositionond the struggle: between the
Iwo plait' may be productive of very deplorable
coeimetiiietreeli.
I'.S.—At the moment that I close this letter, a
rres.eoger is passing, charged to convey to Bayonne
the commercial coresponderice. which has hreu de.
timed up by the armed band who stopped the
rum ier. The Irate retained Air remainder of the
disjcelses.— (loaned de Pikis.)

SPANISII PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCTOBER 14.
Oct the 26th of last month, in the evermig, three
soldiers belonging to the forts it the entrance of the
Black Sea. tired their pistols at the door of the
Palace of the Russian Ambassador in Bujitkdere,
and by their cries and menaces 1.. ified all the ies-
liabitaitts of the Cape. Count Sirogonoll ordered
the Janissaries to seize the disturbers of the public
tranquillity. An affray ensued, in which one Janis-
sary was mortally wounded, and one of the ►oldiers
taken prisoner—the two salmis escaped. The ',li-
mier was detained in the bands of the Janissaries
till the arrival of the Gore' iit.r of the nearest fort.
to whom the affair was rerouted; but before he
came, fifty of the soldiers (Jurnaks), armed from
bead to foot, appeared before the,Palace of the
Ambineseidur, and demanded the release of their
comrade. Baron Strogonself refusing, they Ono-
coed to massacre all that opposed them, and to
burn the village. They were preparing to execute
their threat•. and to force the gates of the Palace,
whet' the Ages, who lead been sent for, arrived.
The . !or delivered his prisoner to one of
them, snaking him responsible for leitn; but this
Aga had not the courage to oppose the soldiers,
Hod let them carry off their comrade in triumph.
Stone troops of Ilostatigis restored order, and
bivouacked for some da) a such nights before the
Pailattr. The next non•t.ing Baton Strogonoff
demanded sati•factiun. 'flee Commander of the
Bustangis first made hies so apology in per-
sort, and the Interpreter of the Porte wrote to
him to the same aft ct, in the name of the Bent
Effendi ; meantime inquiries were made privately,
whet sati►faction the Ambassador required. But
Baron Strogonotf declared the letter of the Inter-
preter to be insufficient ; lie expected so answer
from the Mini►te's to the note lie had presented,
and it was for the Porte to determine, without de-
lay, the nature of the reparation. Hereupon the
Iteis Effendi himself wrote to him, that nice of the
chief officers of the Porte would wait upon him to
make ati upology. Difficulties now muse respect-
in,' the musk of the officer, the l'orte msturally
se. king; to avoid, as far as po•sible, the humiliation
to which it was to submit. At last it yielded, amid
on the inst. the Grand Marshal of the Empire,
with one of the chief officers of the Grand Master
of the Ceremonies, waited on the Atubas•adnr—
the first in the 'mote or the Sultan, the other Oa the
name of the Ministers—and offered the proper
apology, with the usual present of fruit, Bowels,
sweetmeats. The Chief Governor of the Forts
was deposed, several superior officers of the Juinaks
had the same fate, and to privates were straggled.

CARLIMIIS, NOVRIIIIIIII 11.
Oar Casette or the 9th coutains the following
passage, in an apparently official article, respecting
the trial of the Queen of England :—" When Mr.
Brougham, the queen's Solicttor•General, •peaks
in this trial (on the affair of Baron Von Eudr) of a
Germsn despot, he insults the Prince of a country
which is in the possession of • free constitution, the
excellence of which in the host essential points is
universally acknowledged, and will hardly be dis-
puted in England. But if he believes that witness
to have been withheld by compulsion from appearing;
in his cause, he has not reflected that neither com-
pulsion nor sickness are necessary, but that a senti-
ment of disgust at such Advocates mast keep every
moral-minded European remote from that scene."

CASSEC. NOVEMBER 9.
It is well known the the Elector has prohibited
the Journalists of Hesse, upon pain of beta% fined
rod forfeiting their licenses, front inserting any arti-
cles relative to Spain, the Two Sicilies, and Por-
tugal. Ile li.s extended this prohibition to ail
ar-
ticles rontatniug reports of the trial of (lateen Caro-
l:or of England, and in which I here are expressions
calculated to violate the respect due to persons of
elevated rank. Hitherto a Commissary of Police
had exercised the functions of Censor of the poli-
tical Journal of Cassel, but he had frequently suf-
fered articles to pass which had not bird the appro-
bation of the Sovereign. It if Slow 51firtne-t1 olvit
the Elector has just token upon himself the Cen-
sorship of our Gazette. M. Mealier, one of Isis
Counsellors, is obliged daily to read the proof
sheet to his Ito)al Ilightirt-11, who decides on those
articles which shall receive the impriAatur, and
thin., which are to he modified sod suppressed.

What surprises all strangers who have soy know-
ledge of the system of our Government, is to see
that our tribunals are the most independent and
most just 111 Germany. The sentence passed by
the high Court of Appeal in the cause or the
French General Adm. is a fresh proof of their im-
partiality. This Court has just confirmed the sen-
tence of the Tribunal of the First Instance, a lach
reinstates the General in the estates which he pur-
chased in our territory during the existence of the
kingdom of Westphalia, and allows also his claim
to damages upon the Chamber of the Grand Duke's
domains, for the losses winch that Chamber has
occasioned him by disputing li:a title to the estates
in question.

PROROGATION of she SPANIS3 CORTES.

Madrid papers and letters to the 12th inst. have
been received. The Cortes were proiogned no the
9th. On the meeting of the House two dispatches
from the Secretary of State were read, one notify-
ing that the King was unwell with a bad cold and
hoarseness, mud the other that he haul iiedrucied his
Minister, to hand over to the President of the
Cortes the speech which, in conformity to the
133.1 Article of the Constitution, was to be read zit
the time of clmirn; the Cortes. Those articles lA-
luting to the formalities will' which the sitiiii!ev are
to be openvd and closed were then read, tvlach be-
ing ended, the Mini:ter of the Interior spoke us
follows:—" The Cougiefs has heard the dispatch
surioulicing that the Secreturifs of Gove ..1
have received ord.rs to place in the hinds of the
President the speech which his Alujeety aiddresscs
to the Cortes."
It was then rest] as follows:

the first period of their sittings. During their continuance
