adopted by the fifty-eight were good or bad ? If in
his opinion they were bad, and if he anticipated for
them, in a full House, the scorn and contempt which
they deserved, what is meant by the reservation with
which he concludes ? M herefore saddle the " universal
scouting" with an " almost ?" But to come at once to
the point, what kept the six hundred sensible "scouting"
Members from being present at the division on Mon-
day evening ? Had they not fair warning given them
by our Contemporary on the morning previous to the
debate ? If we remember rightly, Europe was fa-
voured with several claps of the Times' loudest
thunder, portentous of the calamities which would
follow the passing of such a measure. How then did
it happen, that only six or eight Tories could be mus-
tered to resist the adoption of the Bill ? Our readers
know the only answer that can be given to this ques-
tion. The Times has lost all political influence, even
with its new masters. The Whigs are indifferent to
its abuse, as they were before to its praise ; and the
Tories despise it, now that they have revenged them-
selves upon it by making it the tool of their party.
There is not a respectable member of the Carlton Club
who ever thinks of troubling his head about the opi-
nions, threats, or intreaties of the Times, now that it
has lost its character for all regard for political principle.
With respect to the clauses added to the Bill on
Monday night, we can see nothing in them either
tyrannical or vexatious. The registration of the names
Of Newspaper Proprietors is certainly very desirable ;
nor is the necessity for such registration much less
than that of the registration of the proprietors of
joint-stock banking companies. The separate die
clause is not so important, inasmuch as the low rate
of stamp duty will enable rich proprietors to evade the
object of the law by purchasing a greater number of
stamps than they require, and after cutting off the
marks, they can employ the paper for other purposes.

The French papers of Monday received this morn-
ing bring no news of any moment from Spain. With
regard to the KING'S determination not to review the
troops on the 29th, a Ministerial explanation appears
in the Moniteur of Monday, copied from the Journal
tie Paris of the preceding night.. Ministers now
admit that a fear of assassination is the only motive,
which his MAJESTY has, or can have, for omitting
the usual ceremony of a grand review on this occa-
sion. This then is the glorious result of M. PERSIL'S
repressive system, in praise of which so much has been
written by the organs of the Government ! The
CITIZEN KING, the happy Sovereign of a free peo-
ple, cannot hold himself secure in the midst-of thou-
sands of armed men, all sworn to defend him with their
lives See here the protection afforded by barricades,
the pities, dungeons, and the guillotine ! Five years
ago Lours PHILIPPE boasted that he could walk
through France without a single soldier for a guard,
and that the only impediment to his progress
would be from the denseness of the crowds assembled
to shower blessin.n upon him. To make assurance
doubly sure, his Ministers advised him to set his
Royal heel upon the head of the Republicans, to
repress faction with rigour, and to cool the ardour of
intemptiate patriotS, by familiarizing them with the
damp atmosphere of Fiench dungeons. The KING
hearkened to the voice of his State Councillors ; the
dungeons were filled with the disaffected, and the
Constitutional Charter was wrested, in order to try
them by a tribunal which impiously dared to set itself
above the law. All went on swimmingly for three
years, when, behold ! it is suddenly discovered that
the person for whose security so many wrongs had
been advised, so many crimes ccmmitted, so many
cruelties of the-most tyrannical nature perpetrated—
cannot find in the presence of thousands of armeei sol-
diers a sufficient defence wzainst the terrors—the
moral certainty of assassination. The following is
the explanatory article in the Moniteur to which we
allude :
The Ministers have, upon mature deliberation, decided upon
adjourning sine die the review which was to have taken place
on the 29th of July. It has been asked, what was the motive
for this determination ? as if men of sense and sincere opinions
could not easily see it of their own accord. However, in con-
sequence of the wishes expressed upon this subject, we have
no objection to state what that motive really was, but with the
proper reserve which the nature of the case requires.
In the first place, there is no truth in the report that the
diplomatic corps were alarmed at the intended ceremony of
the inauguration of the triumphal arch, as likely to excite un-
pleasant reminiscences of the victories of the French arms.
It is equally untrue that the Government apprehended a de-
monstration of discontent on the part of the National Guards.
The members of the diplomatic body have neither expressed
nor even insinuated any thing of a jealous feeling relative to
the bas-reliefs of the triumphal arch ; and those who entertain
such a supposition must be totally ignorant of the relations
which exist between one state and another.
livery nation can celebrate on its own territory the triumph
of its arms, without exciting a jealous feeling, or giving cause
to any other country to find fault with them. In France we
have raised the statue of Napoleon, and no one has ever
thought of complaining upon this subject. The above suppo-
sition is therefore quite childish.
With respect to an unfriendly demonstration from the Na-
tional Guards, it is now more improbable than at any former
period ; the public mind is no longer perverted by those party
feelings which lead to inappropriate demonstrations. Even
an Opposition Journal very sensibly admits this fact.
,The
King had only to expect demonstrations of attachment and
love. It was only motives of the gravest nature, which ren-
dered it necessary to deprive his Majesty of this pleasure ; the
fact was, that numerous communications of the most serious
description, compelled the Government to act with the greatest
prudence.
The King has a love for tree National Guards, and is be-
loved by them. Their acclamations remind him of the wish
of the nation which had placed the Crown upon his head. In
the midst of its ranks he would have nothing to fear from an
army ; but the odious enemies to whose fury he is exposed pos-
sess no army, and ou that account they have recourse to crime.
Sinister projects are apprehended.
" Let us know what they are," say some individuals ; but
they ought to be aware that we must not infringe upon the
rights of justice, nor render nugatory the efforts of the officers
of the law, by a premature disclosure of facts; for if so, a
Government could never say either what it knew or what it
suspected.
It is also said—" You are spreading fears throughout the
country." But we reply—would it be prudent, in order to
avoid creating alarm, to brave the possibility of a catastrophe ?
Moreover, let us examine the extent of those fears ; the na-
tion is well convinced that it would be impossible for a few
ruffians to prevail against the general wish ; at Paris and Lyons
they attempted to set it aside by open and armed anarchy ;
they were unsuccessful, and that was the reason why their
partisans had become assassins. A party which has recourse
to such means is lost for ever. They consist of a few indi-
viduals arrived at the last stage of a frightful disease : a close
surveillance, time, and public detestation must shortly con-
vince them of their extreme weakness. But in the mean
time prudence is a duty, especially as regards those who hold
the reins of Government, and who are intrusted in the eyes of
France and of the world with a serious responsibility; they
are aware of the trust, and will be ready to answer for their
acts when the proper moment arrives. In the interval it
ought to be admitted that they must have been better enabled
than their inconsiderate censurers to solve the question which
has been agitated for the last day or two in the public journals.
NEWS FROM SPAIN.
PARIS, JULY 24.—The accounts from the theatre of war are
more and more alarming—the English Legion from despon-
dency proceeds to mutiny. The officers retire in a body, the
soldiers desert, and those, the term of whose engagement ex-
pires, refuse to enlist again.
The Foreign Legion, suffering privations of every kind, is
likewise beginning to manifest its discontent. General Ber-
nelle, it is said, has again declared that he would resign if the
Government continued to leave his soldiers without bread.
No further information has been received of the check said
to have been suffered by Gomez in the Asturias.
The Carlist insurrection in Lower Arragon is spreading in
a manner which daily becomes more alarming. That un-
happy province is traversed in all directions by the bands of
Cabrera and Quelez. A Carlist bulletin, dated from Sara-
gossa on the 17th, announces that " the former had surprised
and destroyed at Monnoyo a Christino column of 1,000 men,
and that the latter had defeated General Montes, and taken
above 1,600 prisoners." This bulletin, which is doubtless
exaggerated, is nevertheless a proof of the deplorable state of
Lower Arragon.
The Hanoverian Gazette has a letter from Berlin of the
lath July, which says :—" The attempt on the lift of the
King of the French is reported to have changed the plan of a
visit to France by two of our Princes; it has been judged that
it was by am means proper to choose for this journey a time
when there is such a violent political effervescence, that indi-
viduals do not hesitate to aim at the palm of martyrdom, in
honour of their fanatical opinions."—Messager, July 25.
