Lord HASTINGS it was protected by that etiliHeM
tatemnan, though it occasionally discussed the mea-
steas of Government with freedom, though in a
ealr and temp:fate spirit. No sooner, however, does
the Oca'Yerniof-General embark for England than the
se'itior Memberc,f Council, acting as Govcrnor-Gcncral,
dt~rs dot Oh' Mr, I3veKlNGltAm's devoted head, the
vials of that itfatii ohieli he had been obliged to bottle
dli sVhile tinder the coutfvl of a superior. The Minister
of. did 4-:l4iir.e+ 64 Scotland lu Calcutta—the head
in fact of the PresiNt.ii*n Church in India—was
appointed to the-office of Clerk ftit the supply of sta-
tionery to the public departments. ill!. BUCKING-
HAM made a few remarks, couched in the most rrifide-
rate language, pointing out the incongruity of the
pastoral office with the duties of the appointment alluded
to, and a day or two after received an order from the In-
dian Government to quit India in two months ! ! !

Not satisfied with this, the Council next proceeded
to suppress Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S Journal entirely,
and thus effectually confiscated a property from which
he was drawing a revenue of between 6,000/. and
8,000/. per annum, and which was far from overrated
at 40,0001. This is a brief statement of the main
facts ; and we ask if ever there was tt case more im-
periously calling for redress ? No defence is pre-
tended to be set up—no one presumes to say that
what was done was right—the whole of the proceed-
ings are resolved into the power vested in the Indian
Government I No law, it is said, was violated, as if the
great and universal law of equity went for nothing !
We shall only add, that Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S claim
to compensation was sanctioned last Session by the
unanimous decision of a Parliamentary Committee
appointed to investigate the matter—that a Bill for
carrying the recommendation of the Committee into
effect was brought into the House of Commons,
and read a first and second time, and would have
passed but for a point of form which had been omitted.
This was towards the end of the Session, when it was
too late to introduce a new Bill. The application will
be renewed in the Session about to commence, and we
trust it will be seconded by the hearty exertions of thoss
both in and out of Parliament who are inimical to the
exercise of arbitrary and unbridled power, and who
believe that the liberty of the Press—now happily esta-
blished in India, where the good seed sown by Mr.
BUCKINGHAM has sprung up and flourishes—is one
of the greatest blessings that any nation can enjoy.

We have received the whole of the Paris papers of
Monday. We were right in our anticipations yester-
day, respecting the Carlist account of the result of the
engagements of the 16th and 17th inst., of which an
official notice appeared in the Moniteur of Sunday.
The Carlist General EGUIA has officially communi-
cated the details of these engagements to the Pre-
tender's Minister of War, by which we learn that Ge-
nerals EVANS and CORDOVA, at the head of 2,000

men, fled like wild harts upon the mountains, as soon
as the sacred oriflamme of Don CARLOS was un-
furled. This happened on the first day, when the
Christinos were the aggressors. On the 17th, the
troops of his most puissant Majesty the King of
ONA TE were the assailants ; but as the battle had not
concluded before the despatches were made up, a little
mystery hangs over the events of the evening of that
day, which will be dissipated a 3 soon as the Onate
correspondent of the Herald finds an opportunity to
chronicle his reveries on what might have been the
result of these sanguinary engagements. But our

readers must not feel alarmed for the cause of the
QUEEN and Constitution. The victory claimed by
the Carlists is a fiction from first to last. There was
a skirmish on each of the days mentioned, and on both
the Carlists were beaten. The party headed by Con-
DO VA and EVANS amounted to little more than a
fraction of the troops stated by the Cailist General,
and moreover were only engaged in a reconnoitring
expedition. .

The only articles of moment in the French journals
relate to the recent trial of the prisoners, and the con-
duct and designs of Russia. The Debats considers
that the trials have been of immense service to the
Government, because they have proved to France that
there is a power in the country—a recognised judicial
power—superior to the laws ! What would Eng-

lishmen say were we to comfort them by such an as-
surance with respect to Great Britain ?

PARIS, JAN. 25.—Don Carlos has ordered the forma-
tion of a Foreign Legion, composed of deserters from the
British Legion and from that of Algiers. It is said that
there are already 240 men as a nucleus.
The news of the taking of Guetaria has been circulated ;
but letters of a later date from the environs make no men-
tion of it.

A letter from the banks of the Bidassoa of the 18th says,
that the authorities of Irun had hindered for the last two
days any person from passing through that town for France.
On the 12th of this month the Carlist Generals of Na-
varre and the three Biscayan provinces received 22,000
uniforms for their battalions.
The last official Gazette of the Carli3ts contains the fol-
lowing decree of Don Carlos :
" His Najesty has been informed that there is in France
a great number of fugitives belonging to the provinces of
Navarre and Biscay, who, after having served in the ranks
of the rebels, have become sensible how criminal they were
in taking up arms against their legitimate Sovereign, and
who now desire to return to their homes.

" His Majesty has, in consequence, granted pardon to all
those who, whether they have served as Peseteros, Chapel-
gorris, Flanguadores, Chasseurs, or under any other deno-
mination, shall, within fifteen days from this date, present
themselves before any lawful authority. There will be no
exception, but in the case of those who may be accused of
some crime besides that of having leant their aid to the
rebellion.

" As there are also, in several parts of France, deserters
from the cause of loyalty, his Majesty has been pleased to
grant the same pardon to all who, within the same time,
shall present themselves to the CoMmandant of their pro-
vince ; fathers are, however, warned that if they do not do
all in their power to recal the deserters, they will suffer
such punishment as his Majesty shall be pleased to inflict
on them.

" Given at the Royal Palace at Onate, the 9th January,
836."

General Alava will only take the place of the Duke de
Frias at Paris for a short time ; be will soon return to Lon-
don, where he is still accredited as Ambassador. The
Marquis de Casa Iruga will be the Minister Plenipotentiary
of Queen Isabella in France.—lliessager, Jan. 25.
