B onne of the 23d inst., have reached us. Great
fears are entertained for the safety of Malaga, in
.consequence. of a revolutionary conspiracy disco-
vered in that city. The disorganisation throughout
Spain was general, and seriously alarming. No
event of importance had tarken place in the northern
provinces.

Several of the Paris Papers state that prepara-
tions are in progress for repressing by force of arms
any rising in the capital, for which the stagnation
of trade and the present deranged state of the Go-
vernment, . afford but too serious apprehensions.
Parks of artillery, according to report, have been
introduced into the barracks at St. Denis, and two
other military stations around the metropolis ; yet, '
adds one of these Papers, though the minions of
the Court may have advised violent measures, we
cannot believe for a Moment that such med councils
will be listened to, or that the Court will follow out
to the last the dangerous policy adopted by the
Ministers of Lours XVI. and CHARLES X.
These arc certainly ominous phrases, which one
sould hardly have expected to see in Journals so
closely watched and so kept down• as those of
France have been for the last two years. But the
reason is obvious : the public writers hear their
sentiments echoed from every quarter of the king-
dom—they know that hardly any Jury would con-
vict them of libels either on the half dead Ministry,
now become a bye-word, or even on the Court that
supports their, and that under the existing state of
excitement any attempt to indict them before the
Chamber of Peers would recoil on the heads of
those who should be mad enough to advise it. The
sentiments expressed at Rouen, the most influential
town, next to Paris, in France, on the occasion of
the dinner given to MM. LAFITTE and ARAGO
on Saturday, and the wild enthusiasm with which
hey were received by an assembly of eight hundred
persons may be taken as a fair specimen of' public
feeling in other towns, and chiefly the'eommercial
towns of the - kingdom. The dinner was in exact
imitation
.of political dinners given in this country.
One of the theatres was fitted up for the occasion,
Stewards Were appointed, and toasts given ap-
plicable to the important topics that now agitate.
France. In one instance the programme varied
from that adopted in this country. After the
Chairman had taken his place, and the guests
were seated, a collection was made, and about
1,500 francs collected to buy bread for the poor
thrown out. of employment. The first toast given,
amidst solemn silence, was, " The Constitutional
KING" (au Roi Constitutionnel), and thunders of
applause accompanied the closing words of the
Chairman—" a toast to the Constitutional KING,
and to the. Charter of 1830." The healths
Of the two Members were then given, when
they • made speeches, which will sound ra-
ther harsh on some cars. " What," said
M. LAFITTE, " has been the result of the days of
glory and prosperity which, a few years ago, were
welcomed by the admiration and hopes cf the
world ? We have been called revolutionists. Yes ;
we are friends of the revolution established in 1830,
to prevent new revolutions. It is said, tire country
%vial:es peace and we wish war. The country (hies
not desire war, I admit, but it will not purchase
peaca at any price.—(Loud cheering.) France
wants neither a war of principles nor a war of con-
quests, but war, rather than abandon our principles.
New Ministers, entrusted with the defence of
France, will you at the same time serve France
and the Crown ? If so, recollect what I have
again and- again told your predecessors, the contract
is binding on him who receives 'as well as on him
who gives—if not—not, as say the Arragonese."
And M. ARAGO, in an eloquent speech, drew a sad
picture of France now al compared with what she
was in 1830. " France then," said he, " showed
herself magnanimous—shie renounced conquest—
she wished to be surrounded by friendly neighbours.
Look at the map of Europe and it will tell you
what France, so noble, so. glorious in 1830, is in
1839." These are only a few specimens of speeches
which have already produced an effect beyond the
boundaries of Rouen.

Letters from Brussels of the 27th instant, with
the Journals of that Capital, have arrived this morn-
ing. The Opposition Prints, as a matter of course,
are indignant at the hasty decision of the Senate
upon the Treaty of the Twenty-four' Articles, but
they are clearly unsupported by public opinion. The
following description of a scene, and a report of
a speech in the Senate during the sitting of Tues-
day, is all that we can find having any claims to
novelty or general interest
M. Beke Beke, on being required to give his reasons for
abstaining, declared, that not having assisted at all the de-
bates' he could not conscientiously vote.
The President then rose and said—" Gentlemen, I too
should make known to you the reasons for which I have
refrained from voting. I have not voted against the
project.—( Here the President became much affected.)
I beg your pardon, Gentlemen, I am much agitated—
lam a Limburgeois. I have not voted against the pro
ject ; because, in my opinion, its rejection would amount
to a declaration of war—a war, which would in the first
place cause the blood to flow of those who have excited so
much interest in this body—a useless war, without the slight-
est chance of success, and I would never provoke a war which
would destroy our nationality. • I wish to sae a Belgium
existing even in the interest of those portions which are
torn from us. I did not vote, Gentlemen, because it was
impossible for me to assist in an act which will separate me
from those whom I have long known—men who were my
friends and neighbours, whom I love, who love me, who
have always favoured me by their kindness—to whom I owe
the honour of sitting among you. I could not assist by my
vote—you will understand me, Gentlemen, and the Senate
will do justice to my feelings.---(' Yes, yes.') My coun-
trymen too will, I hope, render nee the justice to believe
that I have done everything in my power in their favour."
