lowing announcement in the supplement df the Gazette
of the §lst tilt

• ,
" Her Majesty's Gov ernment possesses no official intelli-
gence of the unfavourable encounter which is supposed to have
taken place in the neighbourhood of Jadraque. All that Go-
vernment knows is, that in consequence of the arrival at Gua-
da!axara of an artillary soldier with the alarming intelligence
that our troops had been defeated by the Chieftain Gomez, the
authorities of that city adopted the determination to remove to
Meals, and to take the public treasure with them, which they
since have done. The Government hastens to give this intel-
ligence, the only one that it has received, in order to tran-
quillise the public and calm its natural uneasiness, and offers to
do the same when it obtains further information. Government
doubts not that the next news will be the complete dispersion
of the Carlists, if the positions occupied by her Majesty's
troops be taken into consideration. Brigadier Puig Samper
writes from Sepulveda, on the 27th inst., at six o'clock, p.m.,
and nine at night, that he was in communication with the
Queen-Regent's regiment that went from this to Segovia, the
Commander of which offered to join him on the 28th on the
high road to Bougnillas, and that the column of the guards
which left Madrid for Aranda was in movement and in combi-
nation with the rest. The third division of the army of the
North, under the orders of Brigadier Alaix (who commands
in consequence of General Espartero's illness), was at Pena.
randa, and was to have left for Riaza on the 28th. General
Manso was at Almazan on the 26th, with the troops under his
immediate command, and finally, this morning early, the
column that left last night under the orders of Gen. Barutell,
arrived at Alcala, at the head of which the Minister of War
(Rodil) will by this time have placed himself.
'• Whatever may be the truth of the assertion of the artillery
soldier, there is no motive that can justify the fear which has
seized some persons in consequence of the alarming reports
that the enemies of the Constitution and of our august Queen
have been pleased to propagate. The Government watches
for the safety of the State, and will subject the conduct of
the authorities of Guadalaxara to a rigorous judicial investi-
gation."

This communication, with the still more cheering in-
telligence of the following day, entirely succeeded in
restoring the confidence and good humour of the peo-
ple. RODIL returned to the capital about noon, but
not before ascertaining that GOMEZ was in full retreat.

The Cabinet, though still incomplete, is doing all
at present within its power to put down the insurrec-
tion, by preparing for a vigorous effort during
the autumn. Still its policy is too timid, and
too vacilating. To put down the rebellion mo-
ney alone is wanted, and to obtain money Minis-
ers propose the sale of the Church and Crown
lands. This is beginning at the wrong end. The
first act of the Government ought to consist in the
seizure of the church plate and jewels throughout the
kingdom—the one to be melted down and coined, the
other to be sold to meet the exigencies of the State.
The Saints would be easily persuaded to spare the
Government the use of their silver and gold represen-
tatives for so sacred a purpose as that of restoring
tranquillity to the coun try of the pious donors. If
found inadequate to supply all the wants of the
State, the Crown jewels might be borrowed along with
the moveable wealth of the Church, till the tranquil
state of the country would permit the sale of the Church
lands at something like a suitable value. Unless the
Government acts in this way, promptly and energe-
tically, the Priests, as on all former occasions of a like
kind, will bury the treasures of the Church, and so its
real riches will be for ever lost both to religion and the
State. The horror with which the monkish orders re-
gard the desecration of pixes, chalices, patens, cruci-
fixes, and the like, will prompt them to risk their lives
sooner than permit them to pass into the hands of the
officers of the Mint.

The popularity of the QUEEN daily increases. She
now constantly:appears in public without either guards
or outriders. Wherever she is seen the people as-
semble in crowds to bail her with cheers.

Don CARLOS has addressed the following decree to
;he Spanish people :

UNIVERSAL MINISTRY-DEPARTMENT OF
GRACE AND JUSTICE.
ROYAL DECREE.

Always desirous of putting a speedy and happy end to the
horrible disasters of the present contest, which is obstinately
maintained by a party combating without any kind of right,
that which has incontestably come to me by my Crown, and
employing all its remaining impiety and ferocity to annihilate,
and if that were possible, the Holy Religion of Jesus Christ
to destroy morality, overthrow the principles of social order,
and lay waste arid ruin my beloved country, sacrificing to its
frantic and sacrilegious fury the Ministers of the Sanctuary,
and the peaceable and honourable inhabitants ; my royal and
paternal heart has thought that the first means to allay this
effect of the anger of God, so justly excited, is humbly to im-
plore his divine mercy to continue to shed his benedictions on
my army and all my faithful subjects. In consequence, I or-
der that in all the churches of the kingdom, which are not un-
der the yoke of the usurpation, public and secret prayers be
put up, invoking the powerful intercession of the Holy Virgin,
under whose guardianship, by the special title of Virgin de los
Dolores, I have placed and again place my army and the whole
kingdom of the King.

PARIS, SEP. 10—The Constitution of the Cabinet is 1101
yet complete. The Moniteur has not yet published the nomi-
nation of the Ministers of War and Commerce ; neither is the
successor of M. Gisquet known officially, and the ordinance
appointing M. Ramusat Under Secretary of State is still de-
layed.
The Bayonne papers contain no mention of any important
military operations. The Queen's troops are collecting about
Estella, and the Carlist General Villereal has his head quar-
ters at Arcioneaga. Rodil has not yet arrived at the Army
of the North, as was expected.

Brussels and German Papers have been received.
Extracts from them are scattered over our columns.
Some of them are very interesting.

Toryism appears nowhere under so revolting a form
as in the town of Liverpool. In most other places,
it displays its hideous features with a certain degree of
shame, as if it were conscious of its own deformity.
There all the evil properties of the pernicious system,
unrelieved by a single good or even seemingly good
quality, are concentrated into a focus, and spread their
blasting influence through the whole frame of society.
In all its operations, it prefers the base to the honour-
able course, as more congenial to its nature, and more
suitable to its corrupt purposes. It has even pro-
ceeded to such a pitch of depravity as to hire aban-
doned and perjured ruffians, to calumniate the private
characters of those whose zeal for the public welfare
leads them to oppose its nefarious designs. Every-
thing, in short, which elsewhere is held sacred, is
there trampled under foot by the relentless ferocity of
a desperate and unprincipled faction.
Had the Tories of Liverpool been made of the usual
materials of humanity—had they not been case-hardened
and conscience-proof—they would by this time have
seen the error of their ways, and have made all the repara-
tion in their power for their misdeeds by repentance
and amendment of life. The dreadful castigation in-
flicted on them by their townsmen at the last municipal
election would have produced a beneficial effect on
almost any other set of men under the canopy of
Heaven. This was the first opportunity which the
people of Liverpool had ever had of shewing their sense
of the conduct of their Tory rulers in the concrete, and
of manifesting the regard which they entertained for Tory
principles in the abstract. They embraced it. They
kicked out every one of the Tory corporators : not a
mother's son of them was allowed to pollute the
reformed Corporation with his presence. Where
Toryism had reigned uncontrouled and rampant for
generations, so complete was the clearing out, so per-
fect the fumigation, that not even the smell of a Tory
was to be traced.

But that which makes good natures better always
makes bad ones worse. This chastisement, has been lost,
or worse than lost, upon these castaways ! Instead of
opening their eyes and softening, if not converting, their
hearts, it has exasperated their already rabid hostility
to every thing liberal and good. They have not, hap-
pily, the power of doing mischief which they had for-
merly. They cannot now plunder the one part of the
community to corrupt the other ; but by what they
can do, they shew plainly enough what they would do.
You may draw the fangs of the viper, but you cannot
extract the venomous disposition. The reptile, if you
come in its way, will still display the impotent in-
veteracy of its nature, by hissing and forking out its

tongue.

The dying moments of the late Corporation, the
close of the reign of bigotry and corruption, were ap-
propriately signalized by an enormous act of embezzle-
ment. Upwards of one hundred thousand pounds
were taken out of the funds contributed by the mem-
bers of various sects, to endow the religious teachers
of one sect ; and so artfully was this wholesale piece of
roguery managed, that it is a very doubtful matter
whether restitution will ever be made. Being turned
adrift soon after the perpetration of this infamous job,
their next attempt was to get hold of the docks, out of
the proceeds of which they intended to pension Lord
SANDoN'S voters, well knowing that without resorting
to some such expedient, that sprig of nobility must go
to the wall at the next election. Here they failed—
thanks to the parliamentary exertions of Mr. E. STA N •
LEY and Mr. Ewa RT. Their next exploit was to destroy
as far as they could the usefulness of the Corporation
schools, which from being, while under their manage-
ment, hermetically sealed against all but the members
of the Established sect, have been, in the true spirit of
Christian charity, thrown open to all without distinction.
The pretence under which they try to veil their
enmity to a plan of education, which is calculated to
soften sectarian asperities, and, by bringing the young,
of various religious shades, daily together in one place,
to make them feel that they are all the children of one
father, is like the cause in which it is urged—hollow
and hypocritical. These rigidly righteous men cannot
reconcile it to their scrupulous consciences to let
children go to any school where extracts from the
Bible are used ! The Bible, say these pious and con-
sistent reasoners, is the best book in the world ; but
extracts from it are most pernicious to the minds of
the young Unless, therefore, the Bible be used
entire, we will do all in our power to ruin your schools.
It is hardly worth while to expose such absurdity as
this, or we might ask these worthies how it happens that
in schools on their own plan the pupils are made, almost
every day, to skip certain portions of the Bible ? We
might also beg them to let us know how long it is since
they thought it dangerous to circulate the Bible
without the antidote of the Prayer Book along
with it, and abused, in their usual foul-
mouthed way, every person who advocated the
circulation of the Holy Scriptures without note
or commentary ? We might enquire, moreover,
what they think of the Archbishop of DUBLIN, and
other dignitaries of the English Church, who, on the
recommendation of Lord STANLEY introduced the
same plan-the truly Catholic
plan—into all the na-
tional schools of Ireland, where it is working ad-
mirably ?
But the truth is, that it is the successful working
of the " schools for all" which they dread. They would
wish to keep up sectarian differences, and to infuse into

Copious extracts from the French Journals of Fri-
day and Saturday—the whole of which we have re-
ceived—will be found in another part of The Sun.
With much that consists of little more than mere spe-
culations upon political events, there is great deal of
really important matter in these Journals. The Cabi-
net, as will be seen, is still incomplete, and there is a
possibility of its undergoing further changes before the
Departments of War and Commerce are filled up. The
new Ministry is unpopular with every pay, and a spirit of
discontent begins to be manifestcd, which threatens to
work the downfall of something more than the rickety
Administration now called into temporary existence.
Marshal SouLT arrived in Paris on Friday—so at
least states the Journal du Commerce—and yet no-
thing appears to have been done with respect to the
vacant Ministerial appointments. M. TH l ERS left Paris
in high dudgeon. He will probably not return to
France before the meeting of the Chambers. The KING,
though apparently indifferent, is not at all unaware
of the danger by which he is assailed. He knows
well that he is standing on the verge of a fearful preci-
pice ; nevertheless, he will peril all, sooner than give
up a jot of the power which the virtual abolition of
the Charter seems to have given him. With a politi-
cal blindness perfectly inconceivable in so shrewd a
man, he has his eyes constantly turned towards one or
other of the great Northern Powers, in the vain hope off
obtaining succour in that direction. He deludes himsel_
with the hope that by the adoption of a Conservative sys
tern of policy, he will yet succeed in wiping out the stain of
usurpation—forgetful of the fact that he is personally
disliked by almost every Sovereign in Europe, and
that the first use the Northern despots would make of
his system, provided France succumbed to its estab-
lishment, would be to declare the grandson of
CHARLES X. King of France. England—whose
countenance alone sustained him upon a throne to
which the pure patriotism of the brave citizens of
Paris raised him—is now treated with supercilious
indifference, in order to conciliate the.. friendship
of Russia, who merely uses him as the instrument
of her dishonest purposes. But the day is not distant
