DiIAY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,

January 11, 1522.

[MORNING HERALD.]
'the accounts from Spain direct, and through
the Paris Papers, are of the 27th, three days
later than the last arrivals. Nothing can be
mos, gross than the arts resorted to by the
French Papers to -exaggerate and distort
troubles in that kingdom. The same
stories are repeated for several days from dif-
ferent quarters ; and there are, in the corre-
spondence from distant places, those treacherous
coincidences, which are the surest proofs of
faliehood and fabrication. The best argu-
ment _of the spuriousness of these accounts is,
that though the Spanish Journals are confess-
edly free, even to licentiousness, yet they con-
tain nothing of the armies',.battles, massacres, Sz.c.
related by the private correspondents. Spain, any
time for months past, has been on the eve of a
convulsion—yet she appaars no nearer to it at
preient. Then again, all has been anarchy and
confusion among the Ultra-liberals, Whilst the
Armies of the Faith" have been carrying all
before them; yet does it appear, upon an im-
partial view, that, in the former case, there is
nothing beyond an organised insubordination to
resist an incompetent, and probably ill-inten-
tioned Ministry—whilst in the latter, some bands
of plunderers have merely alarmed a few villages,
and then fled before the military power. The
following is the real state of the Spanish pro-
vinces, as we collect them from the extracts of
Spanish papers (in opposition to the private
letters) given in the " liberal" Paris Journals. The
Political Chief of Cadiz published the address
of the Cortes, and the appointment of new. A-
uthorities, civil and military, in the room of those
who had been rejected, and was ready to submit,
when the news of the continuance of the Minis-
try in office excited fresh ferment among the
people, and, for the preservation of tranquillity,
he suspended the execution of the order until
further instructions from Madrid. In Murcia,
there was nothing beyond a mere scuffle be-
tween the soldiers and some of the inhabitants.
Every body knows how easily occurrences of
this kind are exaggerated. In Navarre, the
" Army of the Faith" has been wholly broken
up. by Gen. Lopez Banos. It was commanded
by a priest of Pampeluna, named Lecarra,
-who has fled to the mountains. The following
blunder shows the lengths to which false accounts
from Navarre have been carried. The name of
ore of the " Chiefs of the Faith" was blazoned
forth in the Paris Papers as a great Guerilla
leader under Mina during the war of invasion.
It turns out that there is not, and that there was
no such leader—the name appertaining to one
of the public promenades of Pampeluna.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The state of Spain appears to be very much
disturbed ; but it is very evident that by far the
largest portion of the evils which the excesses
and crimes of individuals bring upon their coun-
try, is to be attributed, not to the promoters of
the late revolution, but to those pretended friends
of undiminished Royal power who seek to over-
turn the Constitution. How far the great mass
cf the people in any part of Spain concurs in the
views of the factious upon either extreme of po-
litical feeling, it is impossible to' collect with any
degree of certainty. We are told, indeed, that the
entire population oithe cities of Cadiz and Seville
is unanimous in refusing obedience to the present
Ministers of the Crown, and that generally the pro-
vince of Andalusia shares the determination of
these cities. Valencia is also said to entertain
the same sentiments. On the other hand we are
assured, with equal confidence, that Biscay and
Navarre have resolved to denounce the existing
Constitution, and to assert the empire of abso-
lute Monarchy. The King seems to maintain
much firmness in these difficulties, and upholds
the Ministry in spite of the vote of the Cortes.
The Cabinet, encouraged by his spirit and em-
Loldened by his favour, has taken measures to
.restore the tranquillity of the State, and for this
purpose troops have been moved towards the dis-
turbed points. The Republicans of the South
and the Royalists of the North are alike enemies
to the Constitution, and the power of the Go-
vernment is directed with impartiality and
equal energy against all parties who, under
whatever denomination, may have suffered their
zeal to deviate from the strict line of moderation
that is prescribed 1y the King.and the Cortes.

We stated yesterday that a.:Board was held at
the Treasury on Wednesday, to take into consi-
deration the reductions at the different public
offices, and a minute was signed by Lord Liver-
pool, &c, that thoSe who now. setire should re-
ceive an allowance "according to the scale men-
tioned to their Lordships' letter in the year 1821.
Thi4leductionis•s/. per cent, upon original sala-
tiei, 'and 10-i. per cent. upon the increased sala—
ries; the'surns thus deducted to form a superan-
nuated fund,- applicable also to a provision for
the widows of officers in possession of• salaries
thus reduced. From the difficulties in the way
of this arrancement, and the strong objections
raised to it, we think it probable that this plan
will receive some furtherand material rnodifica-
,tion.—( Ibid.) •
