Inperfectly acquainted with the movements of the

enemy.
We have great pleasure in stating, that the three
first sittings of the Cortes augured well for the influ-
ence of the Cabinet. Some petitions•were presented,
charging Ministers with violations of the Constitution,
but though these petitions were supported by Senors
CALATRAVA and LOPEZ—two of the accused—the
Chamber refused to waste its time in deliberating upon
them. The Chamber has also approved of aldeclaration,
drawn up and signed by twenty-six of its Members,
for confiding the sole Regency of the kingdom to the
QUEEN alone, during the minority of her august
daughter.
The greatest harmony prevailed in the appointment
of the Committees fixed by the Constitution. That
for the improvement of the Constitution itself will not
be appointed till the whole of the Deputies have
reached the capital.
On the 27th M. MENDIZABAL read his h.naneial.
statement. He affirmed that the declaration
MessrS. ARDOUIN, of Paris, to the effect that cer-
tain dividends were to be made payable by bond 3 drawn
on Cuba was made without his authority. He had no
thought of putting off the holders of Spanish Stock
with other bonds than those drawn on the Treasury

at home.
The QUEEN was in good health, and the inhabitants
of Madrid were perfectly tranquil. The Cortes are
preparing to prosecute the war with vigour.

The German Papers received this morning state,
that on the 17th ult. the Archduke FERDINAND of
ESTE opened the Diet of Galicia. The Estates were
to continue to sit during the EreIPEROR'S pleasure.
The ex-King CHARLES X. is in good health. FEs
ramblings cause considerable annoyance to the Austrian
Government. He cannot remain content anywhere.
Advices from Cracow to the 21st speak of thc
removal of the Austrian troops as all but hopeless.
Russia, Austria, and Prussia have determined upon
crushing the liberties ceded to the Republic in 1815.
The Journals before us, as a matter of course, in-
sinuAte that such a step is necessary to preserve the
tranquaity of Northern Europe !
Letters 1 rcal St. Petersburgh, received in Berlin,
state that ithe Empaor of RITSSIA is seriously indis-
posed. The seat of hi:3 MAJESTY'S present com-
plaint is the stomach.
The Austrian Government has received a..ounts of
dangerous political societies which are now establish. 1.;:b"
themselves in Italy.

Id N,

The Speech of the King of SWEDEN an_ OR-
WAY, on opening the Extraordinary Storthing or Diet
on the 20th of October, will be found in another
column. It represents the state of the country as all
that could be desired by its inhabitants. The Ex-
chequer is full, though the taxes have been diminished
one-half since 1828.

We have received Montreal papers to the 7th ult
inclusive. As we prognosticated, no reconciliation
took place between the Legislative Council and the
House of Assembly. His Excellency the Lieutenant
Governor was therefore compelled to have again re-
course to a premature dissolution. What these
disputes will at last end in, is easily foreseen ; but
we are rzot of opinion that the present is the most
fitting time for dwelling upon consequences. We
lament the inratuation which has led to evils
of which we shall say no more than that
they appear to us still susceptible of remedy.
In the meanwhile, it will be necessary to pro-
vide for the maintenance of the Canadian public func-
tionaries—a measure which will only serve further to
exasperate the Papineau party, both in the Colonies
and the Northern country. The following is his E:(-
cellency's speech :
" This day at three o'clock his Excellency, the Governor-
in-Chief went to the Legislative Council Chamber, and being
seated on the Throne, was pleased to 'close the session with
the following speech :
"' Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, Gentleman of the
House of Assembly,—
" ' There being no longer any prospect of a good result
from the Message, which, by the commands of our most
Gracious Sovereign, I communicated a few days ago to the
House of Assembly, I hasten to put an end to this Session;
and to enable you to return to your homes.
" ' The object of convoking the present Parliament was to
make a renewed effort on the part of Majesty to restore some
interval of repose to his Canadian people. I lament, how-
zwer, that instead of awaiting the developement of those mea-
surr-.5 which are in preparation, but which, to be effectual,
must b. matured with time and attention, a more hasty deci-
sion continues to be insisted upon; and the province is even
threatened with the abandonment, by one branch of the Legis-
lature, of the duties confines to it by the Constitution. Without
dwelling on this inauspicious Twoject, I will merely observe,
that if it be persisted in, the nutatber of temporary acts in
Lower Canada, and the importance of some which are not
long hence to expire, must give peculiar etTeet in this province
to a decision which in no country endowed with powers of do-
mestic Legislation could be otherwise than a severe privation
and source of public suffering.
" Gentlemen,—l take leave of you. I will only express
the hope I am unwilling to forego, that however the political
embarrassments of the country may appear to multiply around
us, the inherent elements of prosperity and contentment which
it contains, may triumph over all adventitious causes of
difficulty.
" Castle of St. Lewis, Oct. 4."

We beg the attention of our readers to a letter in
another column from ;IT. CHILDS, of Bungay, to the
members of the Established Church in that parish.
It appears the Church authorities ac, about to re-com-
mence the proceedings which obtained for t.':Nn last year
so unenviable a notoriety. Mr. CHILDS Wag then
immured in a dungeon because he would not consent
to violate the couscientious convictions of his mind,
and he is prepared to pass through the same ordeal
again, if his oppressors shall carry their persecution to
that extent. In the address to which we have alluded,
Mr. CHILDS appeals with calmness, and in a truly
'Christian spirit, to his fellow-parishioners to interpose
and prevent the evil consequences which must result
from perseverance on the part of the Churchwardens in
their attemps to enforce a law so unjust in itself, and
so odious to the greater part of the community. This
appeal, we think, will be made in vain ; and, indeed,
we almost wish it may be so. We can imagine nothing
more calculated to hasten the extinction of Church-
rates, and similar abominations, than the imprisonment
of all who refuse to submit to such hateful exactions.
Let the Dissenters and those numerous members of
i:ze Church who unite with them in condernuiug' eccle-
siastica:
vztortion, adopt the plan of passive resigance,
and we shall soot; hear no more of Church-rates. Such
a storm would be raised against Mqther Church that
the•old crone would be glad to escape from it in double
quick time—much faster indeed than her tottering
limbs would be able to carry her.
Agitation is now the only mode by which any public
grievance can be expected to be got rid off. It is barely
possible that the Lords, from sheer stupidity—from ab-
solute doltishness—may pass Bills of which they cannot
comprehend the drift, such as the Registration Bill and
