[MORNING POST.]

From some cause with which we are not ac'-
quainted our regular Express from Paris did not
arrive last night. Some Paris Journals, how-
ever were received in the afternoon, but not of a
later date than those of which we published the
contents yesterday, The only additional intel-
ligence which these Papers have brought is a
private letter of the 23d ult. from Vienna, which
states that With. the exception of a few prepa-
ratory points, nothing had been settled between,
the Courts of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, and
that the delay in the arrival- of the Duke of
Wellington had prevented the opening of any dis-
cussion-respecting the affairs of Spain. We trust
that the reason given by the writer for this
omission o❑ the part of the Allied Sovereigns is
a groundless one ; and that if they did not dis-
cuss the affairs of Spain, it was not on account of
the non-arrival of his Grace, but because they
had too much sense and justice, or at least
too much consistency, to interfere in fa-
your of -Rebels against a legitimate Sove-
reign, because that Sovereign was seated on
a Constitutional Throne. The Ultras of Vienna,
like those of France, endeavour to force
certain subjects upon the consideration of
the Congress, by creating rumours that they are
to be discussed, conceiving that if they can esta-
blish that belief amongst the people of the
Continent, it will be easy to make it pass
afterwards in the eyes of the assembled Mo-
narchs for an expectation which it would be
impolitic, if not dangerous, to disappoint. But
efforts so unprincipled cannot be successful,
unless indeed those Monarchs should think
the nature and temper of the time such, that
the most solemn assurances can be revoked, the
rights of nations trampled underfoot, and the most
sacred injunctions of justice violated with impunity.
But even if they should be guilty of such conduct,
let us not share in its disgrace and impolicy. If
it really be the absence of our negociator which
prevented the rights of the Spanish nation from
being menaced, let his presence prove still more
effective towards their preservation. Let him
stand up in behalf of a people which his military
abilities have already contributed to save; and
let him acquire for himself and his country the
immortal honour of having twice rescued Spain
front despotism and oppression.

ELOPEMENT.—A letter has been recived from
Harrogate, stating a curious circumstance that
occurred there a few days since. Two Officers,
ranking high in the army, having frequently seen
a couple of pretty milliners in ashop, the daughters
of respectable tradesmen, persuaded them to take
a trip to Doncaster Races ; the parties assembled
there, and thence they proceeded with all possi-
ble expedition to London. The alarm peinsc,
given, the father of one, and her brother, instantly
posted after them, and on reaching the metropolis
made application to the Police, and a general
search commenced. Fortunately, as the father
and a police officer were sitting at the window
of an hotel at the west end of the town, they saw
the two females, elegantly attired, pass the house.
They were immediately secured ; and after many
tears and entreaties to remain were safely brought
home. One of the officers is an old enamorato,
and much afflicted with the gout ; they had pro-
vided elegantly furnished apartments for the
girls, neither of whom had seen 17 years.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—At seven o'clock last
evening an inquisition was taken before THOMAS
SHELTON, Esq.. Coroner, in the vestry-room of
St. Sepulchre's Church, on view of the body of
Mr. William Butler, aged 37, late a master
saddler, residing, at No. 35, Ogle-street, Mary-
lebone, who was found dead on Friday evening
last in the Southampton coach, o❑ its arrival at
the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, and after-
wards conveyed to the Saracen's Head Inn,
Snow-hill. He had been in a decline for the last
seven months, and went about two months ago to
Southampton for the benefit of his health, and
was on his way home on the day he died.—
Verdict—" Natural Death." The deceased has
left a wife and six small children,
