from Spain, but communicate a few additional-
particulars respecting the late events in that
country which are not destitute of interest, and
are collected in a preceding column under the
head of Spain. Among the extracts is a private
letter from Madrid of the 9th of July, giving an
account of a Meeting at the British Ambassa-
dor's house, where a joint statement of the re-
cent occurrences in the Spanish capital was
drawn up, and signed by' all the Foreign Am-
bassadors and Ministers at the Court of Madrid,
excepting one, for the information of the several
Euroi.;ean Courts. It is •understood that this
solitary exception was that of the French Am-
bassador ; and as the Quotidienne asserts that the
present Spanish Ambassador at the French
Court is to be recalled, it tends materially to
confirm the report.
The rest and nearly the whole of the Frencti
Papers is occupied with the speeches of several
Members in the Chamber of Deputies against the
Budget for 1823. The discussion on the 15th was
attended with occasional bursts of intemperance,
especially when M. GIbBERT DESVOISINS openly
charged the Ministers with supplying the means
for the Spanish counter-revolution. This decla-
ration was loudly cheered by the Left, and not
denied by the Right, who only answered, when
General FOY accused them of having purchased
the counter-revolutionary movement at Madrid,
that French Bankers in that capital had furnished
the Constitutionalists with money to pay the
troops by whom the counter-revolution had been
repressed.

QUEBEC, JUNE 12.—We learn from a source
that can be relied upon, that the two Canadag
are to be united in matters of Legislature, and
that the Imperial Parliament is to lay a duty OA
our imports in order to meet the expences of the
Civil List.

We learn that a copy of the Bill, opening the
intercourse between the British Colonies nod
European States, in amity with his MAJEsTIe9
Government, has reached •town. This measure
is not of the nature formerly surmised, for it
confines the intercourse to British ships..
The Legislature of St. Kitt's has voted u pets'
tion to Parliament praying for relief from their
present state of unexampled and intolerable dis'
tress. They say the condition of the Colony is
deplorable beyond all former example, which
they attribute principally to the restrictions
which are imposed upon the intercourse of the
British West Indies with foreign States.

The injustice and inexpediency of imputing
improper motives to private persons or public
characters, when their actions are made the sub'
ject of discussion or investigation, is one of tiOe
maxims the prudence and utility of which all
persons seem willing in the abstraict to ada'it.
The benefit of its sheltering protection is loudly
claimed and vehemently insisted on by all patties
in their turn, when its practical application if
favourable to themselves ; though few evince °
sincere disposition to give that advantage t°
others which they themselves are so ready to tie
mend. In the recent case of Breach of Privilege'
it is remarkable that the ill blood which was gene.

Gentlemen to the salutary rule to which we bane
