LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1836.

Advices from Madrid to the 13th inst. have been
received. The Spanish Cabinet has at last been com-
pleted, aft:.:r an interval of sixteen months, in which
one ad interim Administration succeeded another so
quickly, as nearly to destroy all public confidence in
the Government. We regard the entire re-construc-
tion of the Ministry as a most important step towards
the restoration of peace in the Peninsula. The fol-
lowing is a complete list of the Cabinet :
Don JOSE MARIA CALATRAVA—President of
the Council, and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Don .ToAQ Iti MARIA LOPEZ-Minister of the
Interior.

Don JOSE LANDERO Y CORCHADO—Minister of
Grace and Justice.
Don JUAN ALVAREZ Y MENDIZABAL—Minister
of Finance.

Don RAMON GIL DR LA CUADRA—Minister of
Marine mid Commerce.
The Marquis of RoDlL—Minister of War.
A Cabinet composed of such excellent materials
may be expected to render good service to the
cause of Spanish liberty and independence. CA-
L A TRA VA, the President of the Council, is a
sound lawyer, and an honest man. With all
the true pride of a Castilian, he resolved, from
the instant. her MAJESTY called him to her councils,
to appeal to Spain herself for the means of her deli-
verance from ecclesiastical domination and regal des-
potism. The Home Minister so distinguished him-
self as an opposition leader in the Cortes, in which
MARTINET. DE LA ROSA and TORENO figured as
Premiers, that it is quite needless to dwell upon the
ardour of his patriotism, or the splendour of his ta-
lents. The other Ministers are all men of the greatest
integrity—men better known in Spain by their
deeds than by their professions. The Cabinet,
moreover, is doubly strong, in consequence of its
members being well acquainted with the duties which
they are respectively called upon to perform. Thus,
the President of the Council, is an eminent lawyer ;
the Minister of Finance, is, individually, one of the
ablest financiers in Europe ; the Minister of the Inte-
rior, is a lawyer, and a magistrate of great talent and
experience ; and the Minister of War, is a veteran
officer, whose fame as a soldier has travelled over
Europe. A Cabinet so composed, will not only
prove efficient for the management of the internal
affairs of Spain, but will also be capable of watching
and counteracting the treacherous movements and
shufflings of Louis PHILIPPE, and his Doctrinaire
Ministers.

But the main prop of the new Cabinet is MEND

ZABA L.

The very fact of his re-accepting the direr.

tion and management of the finances of the country,
will restore a confidence in the Government which
will not be confined to Spain. His name is a suffi-
cient guarantee for the good faith of Spain, as far as
regards financial transactions.
The new Minister of Finance is not disposed to
spend his time idly. He was scarcely a day in office
when he had procured 10,000,000 reals, which the
placed at the disposal of the Minister of War, for the
use of the army of the North. This money was to
leave Madrid on the 15th inst., under the care of ra
strong escort. He also prepared two very important
decrees, which appeared in the Gazette—the one
appointing a Commission to execute the Royal decree
of the 25th January, for the sale of all conventual pro-
perty remaining intact ; the other appointing a second
Commission to inquire into and report upon the best way
of abolishing the Spanish Tithe System. The Mi-
nister in this decree refers to France and Portugal, where
Tithes have been totally abOlished, as proving the
-fact that religion is not necessarily dependent upon the
maintenance of an impost ruinous to the agriculture
interests of every country where it is established.
The Marquis of CAMPUZANO has been appointed
Ambassador to the Court of Paris. His Excellency
was to set out for that capital in a few days. Senor
AGUILAR had accepted the embassy to London. His
arrival here may be daily expected. MINA has been
appointed Inspector-General of the National Militia.
An attempt was made by some French agents of the
police to prevail upon the populace of Madrid to pro-
claim a Republic. The fellow who set the example
was seized by the National Guard amidst the laughter
of the people, who neither cared for nor sympathised
with him. The French Government only wants a
dretext to quarrel with Spain, and this the Doctrinaires
ope soon to effect by means of spies who will endea-
vour to make dupes of the people, by pretending that
they are emigrants banished France in consequence of
the liberality of their opinions. MENDIZABAL will
know how to deal with such wretches.
We have no news of any political importance from
the provinces. General SAN MIGUEL has obtained
some important advantages over the rebels in Lower
Arraaon. CABRERA has refused to join GOMEZ,
so that the latter Chief cannot maintain himself in any
of the positions he has gained. On the 12th inst, he
was in the neighbourhood of Requena.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Wednesday have
been received. Their contents are very unimportant,
being principally made up of the abuse of -Ministers by
one party, and their commendation by another. Ac-
cording to the Opposition Journals a worse Cabinet
could not heve been selected ; while the semi-official

prints laud it to the skies as composed of men
worthy of universal esteem. Our opinion upon the
subject is well known. There are but two names on
the Ministerial list for which we have the slightest
respect. The rest are mere synonymes for political
apostacy.
M. LOUIS VIARDOT, whose article accusing the'
King of the FRENcrr and several Members of the
present Government with attempting to stir up a
revolutionary war in Spain in 1830 appeared in The
Sun of Monday last, has addressed a letter to the
Paris journals in answer to the contradiction to his
statement, which was given officially in the Journal
des Debats of Tuesday. In this letter M. VIARDOT
re-asserts that 100,000 francs were taken from the
Royal purse and handed over to LAFAYETTE, to aid
the Spanish refugees in their enterprise ; that the
money was given after an interview at the Palais-Royal,
at which MM. ODILLON BA RROT, DUPONT,
CHEVALIER, and LOEVE WEIMARS were present;
that permission was given to the emigrants to tra-
verse France without passports—to form armies
at Bayonne and Perpignan—and to raise mili-
tary rations. M. VIARDOT further states, that
his object in publishing these facts is to put the
Spanish Constitutionalists upon their guard ; and he
concludes by challenging the Government to prosecute
him as a libeller, in order that he may have an oppor-
tunity of completing his revelations on this subject.
There is no other news of any importance in the
French Journals. The Government has signified to
Marshal CLAUSEL, that the reinforcements for the
army in Africa cannot leave Toulon for some weeks.

Letters from Constantinople to the Ist inst. have
been received. They notice a rumour of several severe
engagements between the Circassians and the Russians,
in which, unfortunately, the Circassians suffered the
most dreadful losses. It is stated that the Russians
have succeeded in hemming them in on all sides, in
addition to effectually cutting them off from all inter-
course with Constantinople. We have reason to fear
that this report will be confirmed by the first authentic
intelligence from the East.

We have no accounts of an important nature from
the Turkish capital. The SULTAN has ordered his
effigy to be stamped on all coin which shall henceforth
be struck by the Imperial Mint.

The Report of the proceedings at the great Reform
MeetinL, held in the town of Wicklow on Monday
last, which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, is full
of interest. Nor is the interest thus excited confined
to one political party. It must be felt by all—by the
few who are opposed to the liberal policy pursued ty
the Government towards the sister-country, as well as
by the many with whom " Justice to Ireland " is at
once a rallying cry and a deep-rooted abiding senti-
ment, prompting to action, mixing itself up with all
the affairs of life, and giving what may be called a na-
tional complexion to the whole conduct.
This devotion to the cause of their country is one
of the characteristics of the Irish people. Other
nations cherish the feeling of patriotism as a duty—
with the Irish it is a passion, and has often hurried
them into acts which prudence would have forbidden,
and which have furnished their cruel oppressors with
a handle for still further oppressing them. The
Wicklow Meeting is a proof that the Irish hare seen
the wisdom of curbing that impetuosity of temper
which has been the source of so many evils to their
unfortunate country, and of acting, not by uncon-
nected, irregular, and therefore ineffective efforts, but
on a systematic and well organised plan of operations
—such a plan as, while it includes within its circle the
great mass of the community, shall combine deter-
mined and sustained vigour of exertion with a strict
observance of the laws, and a settled conviction that
constitutional modes of agitation are the speediest, if
not the only means, by which they can overcome the
obstacles that stand in the way of Ireland's regeneration.
Let every county of Ireland follow , the example of
Wicklow. Let the nobility and gentry show the
people that they feel, for them and with them, and are
ready to do their part in vindicating the honour, and
redressing the wrongs of their insulted and injured
country. Let this spirit of mutual co-operation among
all classes, in the common cause, generally prevail, and
be prudently directed, and Ireland wants no assistance
to work out her own salvation.

The gnat Reform Dinner of West Somersetshire,
which took place at Taunton on Wednesday last, and
which was attended by upwards of five hundred of
the bona fide owners of the soil of the county, and
of its respectable yeomanry, the real and positive con-
stituency of the district "—we quote the language of
the Report—is a triumph for the cause of Reform
e o nn u an
which not a dozen Conservative Meetings will be able
to neutralize. There was no such wholesale gratui-
tous distribution of tickets as took place lately at
Newton and ; no tricky artifices resorted to
for the
purpose of procuring an imposing numerical ar-
ray ; the
Somerse s Hi'i re Liberals assembled voluntarily in
such
that sufficient accommodation could not
be found for them
leave the tow/Ir disappointed
; and hundreds " were compelled to
at not being able to pro-
cure
even standing-
room ro
om in any of the apartments.' ,
This, we presume,
is the re-action about which the
Conservatives talked so loudly at Newton I Why can-
not these men have the' decency to hold their tongues,
or if they must needs•prattle, at least prattle in such
vague generalities that there
, can be no answering,be-
'any P°Sittve or particular
them ? The
cause there can be no unaerstatdi
furnish a Conservatives never hazard
statement, but the Reformers instantly
two since
refu-
tation to it. For instance, but a week.. 0,.
in favour of
they positively asserted that a re-action
Toryism had taken place throughout the country ; and
scarcely has this lie, spoken in the North, had tirne.to
penetrate to the South, when forth step the Somersetsbire
Reformers, to prove by their zeal and unanimity in the
good cause, the flagrant character of the Munchausen.
In a few days Liverpool
will supply the Tories with an-
other striking proof of re-action ; after which the faction
will, we suppose, drop the cry, from very shame, and

possibly get up in its stead a long, wolfish howl against
O'CONNELL and his Republican supporters. They
are welcome to all the advantages they can derive from
the revival of this stale clamour. It will be but a use-
less expenditure of breath, and recoil on its authors
as effectually as did the Carlow business, the shock of
which, it is evident, they have not yet got over.
We look on the Somerset Reform Meeting to be
the most instructive comment on the pet Tory phrase
" re-action" that has been put forth since the close of
the Session. The remarks made by the different
speakers on the late behaviour of the House of Lords
are particularly conclusive on this point. What said
Mr. SANi'ORD on this prolific theme ? "No one
could reprobate the course of conduct their Lordships
pursued more strongly than he did ; it had been un-
wise, improper, unconstitutional." What, Sir Tim-
MAS LETHBRIDGE ? " Was it not wise and con-
stitutional, if the Lords were in the wrong, to place
them in the right by the force of reason ? They
had got the Commons reformed, and if it were
found necessary that the other House also should be
reformed, let them go to work properly, and they would
achieve that point also." What, Mr. LEADER?
" The obstacle to improvement is a many-headed
despot, called the House of Lords. This being the
case, it becomes our imperative duty to inquire into
the constitution of this body ; many good friends to
Reform shrink from such an inquiry ; it is, however,
weak and childish policy to blink a question which,
sooner or later, must be forced on us to answer and decide."
These, it is to be observed, are the sentiments of men
who are influential not less from their rank in society,
than from their intelligence and familiar acquaintance
with the real feelings and interests of the community.
They are not Radicals who express themselves in this
emphatic manner, but moderate Reformers, who
are naturally averse to extreme organic changes,
but who, at the same time, will not shrink from
grappling with them, whenever the necessity for
such collision arises. And this necessity . they
plainly tell us, has already arisen ; and that, con-
sequently, it is our bounden duty to insist on such a
change in the Constitution of the House of Lords
as shall make it harmonize with the spirit of the times.
After this, let us hear no more about Tory re-action,
for the phrase always absurd, is day by day becoming
more preposterous in its absurdity.

Our readers will find in our columns of this day the
copy of a Return to an Order of the House of Com-
mons, of the names and titles of the Bills thrown out,
or rendered nugatory by the Lords, since the opening
of the last Session of Parliament. The Peers ought
not to fear a revolution ; for judging from this speci-
men of their handiwork, the organ of destructiveness
is largely developed in the skulls of a majority of our
hereditary legislators. The Radicals are no match for
the titled Tories in the work of wholesale destruction.
Here, for example, is a list of thirty-four Bills—aye
and good Bills too—all burked by the Lords : and
now, how many of these Bills do our readers suppose
were returned in a mutilated state to the Commons ?
Exactly seven ! All the rest were kicked overboard
without the formality of an amendment. We have no
intention of speaking harshly of the Lords ; we only
wish to impress upon them that men, however exalted,
who are not afraid to play such pranks, ought to have
nerve enough to laugh at the popular cry of Peerage
Reform. They ought at least to be consistent, to
convince the world by their demeanour now, that they
foresaw and despised the consequences of their legisla-
tive conduct. There ought to be no skulking behind
the religious and monarchical prejudices of the mob,
on the part of those who never open their lips in public
but to revile the people, and their legitimate organs.
In the list of Bills rejected by the Lords, we find
the names of several for which no person acquainted
with the constitution and spirit of that assembly could
expect a different fate. Thus we find the Bill for re-
moving difficulties which constantly arise from the
confusion in the calculation of time, between calendar
and lunar months, was very naturally rejected whole-
sale by the Lords. Now no person who knows any-
thing of the House of Lords could expect that the
Peers would adopt any measure, merely because it
would put an end to confusion, by whatsoever or by
whomsoever influenced. Their Lordships' policy is
totally the reverse of that which aims at the removal of
difficulties in any shape. We must consult Lord
WYNFORD as to whether all matters connected with
lunar influences do not especially come under the ju-
risdiction of the LORD CHANCELLOR. We know
that Lord ALVANLEY entertains such an opinion ;
and that, acting upon that conviction, he voted for the
rejection of the Lunar Months' Bill. There was no-
thing exclusively Whiggish in this measure ; it would
not have strengthened Ministers in the least ; it pro-
vided for the distribution of no Crown patronage ; and
yet it was rejected by the Peers. Why ? Because it
would remove a mass of legal confusion, and so fa; di-
minish the expenses of litigation.
The Jewish Disabilities Bill is another of the mea-
sures which the Lords consistently enough rejected.
If the reason be enquired, we can easily give it. The
Peers are alarmed for the safety of the Church of
Christ. We have a Divine assurance—the pledge of
HIM who liveth for ever and ever—that the Founder of
our holy faith would himself protect it ; and that its
spirit was love, and its fruits the charity which acknow-
ledged all men brethren and equals. The Peers, how-
ever, in the excess of their zeal, doubt the efficiency o'
Omnipotence in the instance of the Jews. A Jew
merchant is a harmless creature in a religious point of
view ; but a Jew Lord would circumcise the State.
Parliament is the only Tory House of GOD ; keep it
Christian in name, and the country, though half filled
with Jews, must be pre-eminently righteous ! Had
the Bill for the Removal of Jewish Disabilities passed
the Lords, the stain of religious intolerance would
have been wiped from the brow of England justice
would at last have been rendered to a race remarkable
throughout the world for their obedience to the laws of
every State in which they are located—the principle
that men ought not to be punished f'or their religious
opinions, when such opinions are consonant with the
principles of social order and an observance of the
laws would have been established—and the State itself
would have received an accession of strength in the
closer union of its Christian and Jewish subjects. But
these considerations were of a nature to cause the
Lords to fling out the Bill in the manner which they
have done.

As to the Bills for the abolition of certain religious
Tests—which had the effect of making good men ene-
mies of the Government, and bad men hypocrites ; for
abolishing Bribery at Elections ; for the appointment
of charitable Trustees in Boroughs ; for Reforming
abuses in the Common Law ; for Legalizing Mar-
riages by Priests between Catholics and Protestants ;
and for Reforms in the Management of the Post-office

—it could not be expected that they would receive the
sanction of the present House of Lords. These Bills
were calculated to benefit the people, and whatever has
atenclency to improve the condition of the people must
diminish the power and influence of a feudal Aristo-
cracy. The House of Lords must undergo an organic
change before the people can hope for the removal of
those enormous abuses which disfigure the social aspect
of the country.
Th-

le Marquis Graham is about to lead to the hy-
meneal altar a very young, beautiful, and highly-accomplished
lady.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.--The new literary
season is likely to be one of great interest from the value as
well as the number of new books. MR. BENTLEY, OF NEW
BURLINGTON-STREET, leads the way in both respects. From
this publisher we have just received Major Skinner's " Over-
land Journey to India," and Cooper's " Residence in France,"
and we are to have in a few days a new work by the celebrated
author of " The Sketch Book." Mr. Washington Irving's
new production is entitled " Astoria." Many important works,
including narratives of voyages and travels, biography and his-
torY, are announced by Mr. Bentley. In the literature of fic-
tion, also, this publisher has in progress new works by almost
every distinguished living writer.
VIOLET ; OR, THE OPERA DANCER._" We
had not run carelessly," says the Examiner," over a few pages
of this work before we were struck with the portraiture of cha-
racter, and we soon recognised the steadiness, the distinctive-
ness, the keeping of a superior hand. As we advanced in the
story, we found more to admire in the vigour of its conception
and the skill with which it is wrought out. The author is well
read in the book of life. Violet is no common-place tale.
The circumstances of the story, which are conceived with great
judgment, render it original, and furnish the materiel for the
exercise of the author's power. The characters in the novel
are presented in admirable distinctness, and preserved through
out with dramatic propriety."
