rending communications speak for themselves,
and any. confluent from us wOilld be siiperfluous.
It appears by advices from Bayonne of .the
27th of June, that an assemblage of 2000 men,
composed of Spanish refugees and adventurers
of all descriptions, collected at St. Jean Pied de
Port, had crossed the frontier, wider the pompous
title of " Army of the Faith," and after dis-
arming a post of 50 national guards, had pene-
trated to the vicinity of Estella, which the
Spanish constitutionalists occupied in force.—
Spanish troops and the disposable militia of Na-
varre were marching from all directions against
these insurgents; the passes in their rear have
been occupied by strong detachments, to prevent
their return to France, and, General LOPEZ-
thNos had arrived at Vittoria, and was pre-
paring to attack them in front. It was expected
that this " Army of the Faith " would either
be forced to surrender, or be surrounded' and
destroyed, 'without a chanceof escape.
Private letters from Spain, received in London
yesterday, give satisfactory accounts of the inter-
nal state of Spain, very different' from the
exaggerated statements of insurrections contained
in the Ultra Papers of France.
There is no intelligence of interest respecting
France itself. The Chamber of Deputies have
adopted the various articles of the new Tariff,
and have now only to vote on the whole law.

Philadelphia, New Orleans, and New _Bruns
wick Papers arrived this morning. The follow
ing are extracts :

( From the Philadelphia Paper to the 11th June.)
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,JUNE7.—Authentic intelligence
has been received at this Department, that the King of
HOLLAND, by a decree of 20th March last, has ordered that
the charge of pilotage shall be the same in American and Dutch
vessels within his States; and that restitution shall be made to
the parties of all monies that have been `paid on account of the
additional imposition.
PORT-AU-PRlNCE.—Accounts, of the Bth May, represent
the market at Port-au-Prince in a very deplorable state.—lt was
expected that the return of the President, and of the troops,
would have had a favourable influence on commerce, but these
expectations have been disappointed.
[Extract of a Letter from an Officer on board the Macedonian
Frigate, dated Havannah, May 10.1
" We arrived here on the 28th ult„_ after a tedious passage
of 26 days ; nothing of much importance happened during our
voyage. Last Saturday night an American brig, while at
anchor under the Moro, was attacked by a boat filled with
men, but were repulsed, and three of them were wounded.
The police of this place is so wretched, that the greatest villains
escape punishment even if they are caught. On Friday even-
ing two men were assassinated. Yesterday there were three
cases of the yellow fever in the town, but our crew are remark-
ably healthy. There are at present 100 sail of American yes.
sels In this port."

Ministers are determined not to allow the
Opposition to claim the merit of their future
measures of economy. We suggested to Earl
GREY the idea that his intended Motion, for the
further reduction of Taxes, might come, with
more effect in the beginning of the next Session
than at the close of this, after the work of re-
trenchment, that had been thought for the pre-
sent practicable, was already concluded. Or ra-
ther we inferred that it was from his Lordship's
experience and prudence in Parliamentary war-
fare, that he had come to the determination of
withdrawing his Motion, and of reserving it
until the aspect of affairs should indicate the ap-
proach of measures, which, though matured and
put into operation by others, he might by a little
dexterous management contrive to represent as
originating with himself. Mr. HUME has pretty
successfully manoeuvred in this way in the House
of Commons; and it is but reasonable that the
party should resolve to have the advantage of
similar dexterity in the Lords. The Minis-
ters, however, have contrived to be before-
hand, for once, with their crafty oppo-
nents; and, though Earl GREY has abandoned
the formidable attack which he meditated in the
Upper House, and though Mr. HonuousE's
attempt to storm the 'Window Tax was defeated
in the Commons, they have taken the precaution
to announce their intention to continue the opera-
tions of the pruning knife in the next Session of
Parliament, lest the Opposition should have the
opportunity, by an early clamour, of contending
that the future voluntary concessions of Govern-
ment had been wrung from it by the force of
their eloquence, and the vigilance and power of
their patriotism and zeal. In the debate last
night on the Army Extraorclinaries, Mr. AR,
BUTIINOT stated, that's Reductions were to be
made, which would appear next year, to the
satisfaction, he hoped, of, the House and the
country. It was 'the determination of Govern-
ment to make reductions, wherever they were
practicable, as the country would see to its satis-
faction, in the course of the next Session !" This de-
claration, be it observed,is no loose and general ex-
pression ofa disposition to economy,but is an express
pledge to make reductions in the next session, to
the satisfaction of the House and the country ! The
Opposition have to thank the imprudence of Mr.
HUME, in putting a forced and unfavourable con-
struction on the language of the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER, for this distinct avowal having
been drawn from Ministers.—We heartily con-
gratulate the country on the prospect which Mr.
ARBUTHNOT has presented to it. Whatever may
be our opinion of the effects of taxation on the
national ind'ustr'y, it is most gratifying to
find, that, though the country is labouring
under agricultural and commercial distres4,
its financial prosperity is progressive and se-
cure,—that though it is struggling with some
domestic difficulties, it is with an increasing re-
venue from diminished taxes,—in a high state of
public credit and with an efficient battery di-
rected against its debt,—in a condition to assert
its rightsand to maintain its independence abroad.

The meeting of the Lords of the Treasury,
which was to have taken place this day, to hear
the claims of the parties to the booty captured
by the army of the Deccan, under Lieutenant
General Sir THOMAS HISLOP, in the late war in
India, has been postponed, we find, to Thursday
next, owing to the indisposition of the Earl of
LIVERPOOL, which confines his Lordship to his
room. On Thursday next, however, we under-
stand the parties have been directed to attend again,
when no doubt is entertained that this long pend-
ing business will be fully heard and decided, as
great anxiety prevails in India on the subject.
