IDAN, SEPTEMBER 2, 1836.

24th of October. The dispositions of the Constitution of
1812 will be observed. Such is at least the general opinion,
which does not attempt to conceal the embarrassment which
must result to Government from the confusion between the
principles of the Royal statute and those of the Constitution
of 1812.
The French Embassy is put into mourniug, and an immense
crowd who hasten to inscribe themselves at Madame de Ray-
neval's, testify the high esteem in which her husband was held,
and how much he is regretted.
MADRID, AUG. 23.—The renewal of a law upon the freedom
of the press was a necessary consequence of the proclamation
of the Constitution of 1812. The Ministry have thought
proper to observe the one decreed by the Cortes of the 22d of
October, 1820. This law allows all Spaniards to write and
publish their opinions without first submitting them to the
Censorship, excepting only works which treat of the Scrip-
tures or the dogmas of the Catholic religion.—Espanol.

The Paris papers of Wednesday have all been re-
ceived. The KING has not yet succeeded in the re-
construction of the Cabinet. It is generally believed
that M. GUIZOT has agreed to accept office under
Count MOLE ; though the Temps asserts the con-
trary. According to that journal, GUIZOT seeks to
have the Duke de BROGLIE appointed President of
the Council. Baron PASQUIER is mentioned as likely
to be appointed, if GUIZOT take office with him ;
but the rumour is not regarded as credible. THIERS
is about to revenge himself upon the KING by retiring
into Italy. Were he to remain permanently there,
we presume his Most Christian MAJESTY would not
be inconsolable. It is not the absence, but the pre-
sence, of the little bustling ex-President of the Coun-
cil, that fills his MAJESTY with apprehension.
The following extracts are from the journals :

PARIS, AUG. 30.—At a very late hour this morning nothing
was decided respecting the new Ministerial arrangements.
The composition of the Ministry even appeared to be less ad-
vanced than it was yesterday and this morning.
The accounts which we published yesterday of the fall of
Calatrava's Ministry, are not confirmed. Nobody wishes more
than we do, that these reports may be false. We must say,
however, that we have them from good authority.
A fact which we can to-day state as certain is, that the af-
fairs of Don Carlos are in a very bad state. Disorder and
desertion are in the army of the Pretender. The defeat of
Ituralde is at most a decided advantage. On the other band,
subsidies do not arrive—the finances are in a most deplorable
condition. _ _

Everything, therefore, leads to a belief that we are ap-
proaching the end of the war in Navarre.
The news of an approaching journey of M. Mendizabal to
London and Paris, is wholly destitute of foundalion.—La

BOURSE, QUARTER TO FOUR.—The Rentes showed a ten-
dency to rise at Tortoni's, and were nearly at 80f. 15c., but at
the Bourse the first price was 80f. 10c., and they are now at
that price, sellers. The Spanish Active Stock opened at 301,
and is still at the same price. In general the brokers are oc-
cupied with the settling of the French securities ; • the options
were settled at half-past two ; those turning out at 80f. sc.
have been abandoned, and this lowered the Three per Cents.

PRIVATE LETTER, DATED MADRID, AUG. 22.—" The Mi-
nistry is not yet completed, though it is confidently asserted
that the Finance Department is about to be confided to Men-
dizabal. I have no means of ascertaining what are the views
of the new Administration, with regard to the meeting of the
Chambers ; but it is generally believed that they will be pro-
rogued to the middle of September. Rodil takes the com-
mand of the army of the North, and Garcia Cambo is to be
Minister of War ad interim.
It was said yesterday that a clue bad been obtained to the
hiding-place of Isturiz, as well as Galiano, who are believed
to be still concealed in the capital. I have seen letters from
Valencia, which state that 2,000 Carlists have gone over to
the Constitutionalists. The details have not yet arrived."

The Bath Chronicle of yesterday sounds the tocsin
of Toryism, as thus :—" We have authority to state that, at
the next vacancy which may occur in the Parliamentary repre-
sentation of Bath, a gentleman of influence, connected with
our neighbourhood, will offer himself on the Conservative in-
terest." Then follow some panegyrics on the Tory aspirant
for the honour of representing Bath. It is rumoured that a
canvass has been begun for a Reformer.

MAGAZINES.-CONTINUED.

METROPOLITAN.

The Memoirs of Prince Lucien Bonaparte, which
are very properly placed at the head of this Number,
are full of delightful reading. In speaking of the
Reign of Terror, the Prince expresses his abhorrence
of the acts of Robespierre and his blood-thirsty crew,
in terms of the most unqualified abhorrence, and shows
how adroitly his Imperial brother, while panting for an
opportunity of signalizing himself either in the field
or the Cabinet, yet resolutely refused to bare any con-
nection with, or accept promotion under, the auspices
of such reckless tyrants. " They offer me," said
Na-
polcon, speaking one day to Lucien and some other
friends,—
" They offer me the place of Henriot, Commandant of Paris.
lam to give my answer this evening. Well, what say you to
it ?" We hesitated a little. "Eh ! eh," rejoined Napoleon,
"but it is worth the trouble of considering ; it is not a case
to be enthusiastic upon ; it is not so easy to save one's head
at Paris, as at St. Maximin. The young Robespierre is an
honest fellow ; but his brother is not to be trifled with ; he
will be obeyed. Can I support that man ? No, never. I
know how useful I should be to him in replacing his simpleton
of a Commandant of Paris ; but it is what I will not be. It
is not yet time ; there is no place honourable for me at present
but the army. We must have patience. I shall command
Paris hereafter."
This prophetic observation was made by Napoleon
at a period when he was yet comparatively obscure'
and when not even the wildest dreams of imagination
could have justified him in the belief that he should
ever wear a crown. It would really almost appear that
-the curtain of the future had been undrawn, and a
dazzling glimpse of his glory purposely revealed to him,
in order to give him encouragement to proceed. That
Lucien's Memoirs could have been penned by none
but an arrant Frenchman, the following naive touch of
innate, but unconscious, vanity, abundantly betokens :
" We would sooner brave death than the hisses of an
assembly, or of the multitude. We sacrifice too much
to the pleasure of being applauded." This sentiment
is French all over. An Englishman would never have
thought of promulgating it. " The Dog Fiend"
forms a chapter or two of an historical novel by Cap-
, tain Marryat. It is lively, and humorous, but not
equal to Peter Simple, either in conception or execu-
tion. " Church Goers," by Richard Howitt, is a
pleasing poem, full of grace and melody of versification.
The " Temptation," a prose tale, contains one or two
striking passages. The Review of " Chorley's Me-
, morials of Mrs. Hemans" is interesting, chiefly from
its extracts. Our " Actors" has a gossipping biogra-
phical sketch of Kean, Macready, and Tyrone Power.

This little publication thrives apace. Every monthly
part we receive is more interesting than the one which
went before. Nothing is left undone to supply its
pages with the prettiest tales, the most interesting
anecdotes, and the liveliest bon mots. Books, old and
new, are ransacked for it, and, in short, no pains is
spared to make it what it is—that is to say, very enter-
tainina.

be said by us. It will be completed in five more Num-
