of the prisoners of April. The trial of FIESCIII will,
it is reported, commence on the 30th inst. The time
calculated for its continuance is about ten or eleven
days at the utmost. In this country such a Lila would
not occupy three 'days ; but the French Courts of Ju-
dicature conduct their proceedings with an apparent
view to the protraction of justice. Days are spent in
putting the most frivolous questions ; and to be present

in a French Court of Justice is to witness time spent
by legal functionaries in learning every thing but the
facts necessary to the determination of a trial.
The accounts from Bayonne are to the 17th inst. ;
but we learn nothing from them of which we have not
a superabundance nearer home—namely, vague opi-
nions, based upon as vague probabilities. CORDOVA
is said to be almost as destitute of money as the Car-

lists ; and what is still stranger, desertions on both
sides are becoming more frequent than they ever were
before. In fact it appears as if a considerable number
of the belligerents wished to exchange sides, and re-
fight their battles under opposite banners. Don
CARLOS is still at Onate.

PARIS, JAN. 20.--The naval preparations at Toulon are
not discontinued, and it is still believed that an expedition
to the Levant is intended. There are at this moment in
the roads, and ready for sea, six ships of the line, the Mon-
tebello, Scipio, Triton, Ville de Marseille, Nestor, and Al-
gesiras, and the Iphigenie and Artemise frigates., The Tri-
dent of the line, and the Cybele frigate will soon be ready,
and the Galalhe will be in the roads in a few days. It
seems certain that all the smaller vessels which are now fit-
ting out, will be attached to the squadron now in the roads.
The half official letters from Vienna by no means agree
with what some journals say of the sentiments of the Austrian
Government with respect to Spain. Far from confirming
the pretended refusal to admit the agents of Queen
Christina, announced by the Swabian Mercury, they on the
contrary speak of two letters written by the Emperor to that
Prince, and of the conciliatory intentions of Prince Metter-
nich. 7 With respect to the affairs of Don Carlos, notwith-
standing the intrigues of Russian diplomacy, and the impor-
tunities of the Italian Court, they are in the same situation
at Vienna as before. The Emperor refuses to furnish any
further subsidies, orders severe measures against the
emigrants who came to his dominions, and openly blames
Charles Albert. One of his Ministers, in reply to some
recent importunities, answered that Austria has nothing to
do with Don Carlos till he shall be at Madrid.
Some Carlists who have escaped as by a miracle from the
massacres at Barcelona, and who have arrived at Toulon on
board the Sylphe brig, Capt. del Cosamel, are going to be
sent for the present to Avignon.—Messager, Jan. 20.

BOURSE, TIIREE O'CLOCK.—The Renton, particularly the
Three per Cents., have dropped to-day. No political reason
is assigned for this ; it is rather attributable to the investing,
of capital in the Five per Cents., for which great sales are
made in the Three per Cents. The Spanish securities are
also lower, but very little business is doing in them.

MADRID PAPERS.

(From the Revista of Dec. 25.)
A few days ago, we announced with approbation and
praise that the Ministry had granted an honourable dis-
tinction to M. Laurent de Garcias, member of the French
Chamber of Deputies, and one of those who have most
favoured the unfortunate Spaniards whom ill-fate has con-
demned to wander in penury and want through foreign
lands. There are others to whom, in our opinion, the
Government ought to give signal proofs of esteem and
gratitude in the name of the Spanish nation. If we are
told that in expressing such a wish we are actuated by a
personal, though noble, attachment, or at least by a feeling
common only to a small portion of our countrymen, our
answer will be an acknowledgment of the truth of the ob-
servation ; since, if we have to be grateful for favours re-
ceived by us and our companions in toil and misfortune, our
country ought to be equally so, since they were conferred
upon her in the persons of her sons. If the benefactors of
the once exiled Spaniards had been united by private
friendship to those whom they so kindly relieved, gratitude
could be expected only from those who had been thus fa-
voured. But they distinguished Spain, the enlightened and
liberal portion of Spain, and with generosity and regard,
assisted a small and perhaps least meritorious portion forced
by misfortune to take refuge in a foreign land.
_ _

The hand which relieved, the voice which honoured the
expatriated, assisted and exalted, not a few private indivi-
duals, but a noble cause and a nation.

Pausing to name one or two persons, we will say that the
English Lieutenant-General, Sir Thomas Dyer, holding the
same rank in Spain, ought to have been replaced in the list
of our officers, in which he was in 1814, and again from
1820 to 1823. Besides the merit of liberally relieving the
Spanish exiles, this most generous supporter of their cause
possesses that of being the first who, as an ally, landed in
our country in 1808, and of bestowing considerable sums
on our charitable institutions, when he revisited us in 1821.
We find, however, that by a decree of the 30th of De-
cember last, this excellent person is justly reinstated in his
rank ; but we repeat our wish to see him distinguished with
one of those honours which cost nothing, but which, given
in a seasonable moment, are highly valued.
Merits similar to those so justly rewarded in our
friend M. de Garcias have been displayed by the Eng-
lishman, Mr. F. Freshfisld. It is incredible how
much the Spaniards owe him, and to add to his
merits it must be related how much he had to en-
dure from that discontented ill-humour in which the unfor-
tunate are so apt to indulge. We are aware that this de-
serving person must be surprised, and, in our eyes, with
reason, that Spain has not yet shown him the slightest
mark of her gratitude for all he has done for her sons.
Engaged by a thousand affections to the Spanish name,
which we would not have stained with ingratitude, we
submit this subject to the notice of the Government and to
the public opinion ; and, if we cannot obtain anything else,
we shall at least have marked out to our countrymen some
of the benefits conferred upon us, not for our own per-
sonal merits, but because we were Spaniards and Liberals
—benefits for which every Liberal Spaniard ought to be
grateful.

TALES OF THE AItTIC VOYAGER.—The pre-
sent perilous situation of our countrymen, ice-bound in
the Northern seas, has given renewed interest to this work,
which narrates with great pathos and power the perils and
pursuits of mariners in those fearful regions—the geo-
graphy and natural phenomena of a wonderful and unfre-
quented part of the globe, where every object is a marvel
and a mystery. The author, who is a friend of Captain
Scoresby, has often been a voyager in the scenes he so
forcibly describes. Indeed, of the few modern writers who
have successfully delineated the lives, pursuits, and eccen-
tricities of seamen, the author of these admirable tales is,
perhaps, the most remarkable, not even excepting Captain
Marryat. While, at one moment, the various mysteries and
secrets of the mighty deep are unfolded with awful effect,
at another, the reader is amused to his heart's content with
the playful humour of the writer, which is of the spirit and
quality of Washington Irving, combined with incomparably
more force and vivacity. We may acid, what we believe is
not generally known, that the popular drama of the
Wreck Ashore," and several others, have been taken
from this most interesting work, which, we are glad to ob-
serve, is now, like so many other excellent ones, published
in three cheap four shilling volumes.
