THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 25 1841.

at considerable length, that it is of no use talk-
ing about the virtues of justice and humanity,
and that nothing is done by the dissemination of
sound principles and the spreading abroad know-
ledge., unless our present ignorance were incor-
porated, as an Act of Parliament. On the Spec-
tator's doctrine the whole scheme of a Church
may be dispensed with, for that only preaches,
at best, about the abstract virtues of justice and
humanity. We were foolish enough to suppose
that the dissemination of sound principles and
correct knowledge amongst the people was of
more importance than getting the two Houses of
Parliament to pass a law. We know laws may
be formed on very erroneous principles, and may
be very mischievous ; but correct knowledge and
sound principles never failed to bring forth good
fruit. The lesson of our teachers was the reverse
of that of the Spectator. They said give the
people knowledge, let them be well informed,
and the strongholds of corruption and tyranny
will fall away -as by enchantment. To
have a well-informed people is, according
to our Contemporary, " to have a mob col-
lected around some strong ibriress that th:.‘.y
would demolish, howling with rage, and
s'aaking their hands with impotent anger, but
destitute of the implements for breaking in
and the skill to use them." The Spectator for-
gets that the whole world of politics rests on
opinion, wh'.ch will, when ripe, subdue landlords,
as it has heretofore subdued bigots and slave-
owners. We side, therefore, with the Anti-Corn-
law League, and think it is wise to preach about
the abstract virtues of justice and humanity; and
have no doubt that the devoted system against
which the indignation of the people cau be ex-
cited by an appeal to these virtues, -must fall
whenever their indignation shall be roused.
Our Contemporary says that no parley has
been demanded by the Parliamentary majority.
What then does his favourite's talk about mature
consideration mean ? Is the Spectator sensible
that it is all humbug; and does it, at the same
time, hold the charlatan up to public approba-
tion ? Was the Duke of WELLINGTON'S late re-
mark in the House of Lords, that he must look
into the Corn-law question with new light,
no advantage? Is not the Spectator in error
also when it says, that not one advocate
of a restrictive policy has recanted his opinions?
Have there not been several instances in the ma-
nufacturing districts of such recantations? Was
not Sir GEORGE MURRAY one ? Was not Mr.
DAWSON, at Plymouth, one ? Is not Lord LON-
DONDERRY prepared to recant? At the meeting
of the Blofield and Waisham Agricultural Asso-
ciation, recorded in the Norwich Mercury, we
find Mr. BURROUGHES, one of the Members for
Norfolk, using this language:—
With regard to the Corn-laws his opinions coincided
with those of the President—that this country ought to
be provided with corn at the cheapest rate at which it
can be produced ; but be did not think it could be pro-
vided with corn entirely grown in our own country now,
or that it can be made to do so on the average under all
circumstances. What would be done he was not pre-
pared to state, but he was quite sure that it was not the
policy of this country to admit foreign corn, otherwise
than under a moderate graduated scale.

We see many symptoms, therefore, of benefits
to come from preaching about the abstract vir-
tues of justice and humanity ; though we are
afraid that those who doubt the utility will not
be very likely to support the doctrines. The
Anti-Corn-law League has made great way in
the country by such preaching; and we trust it
will-not give up its scheme to try for a general
modification of the tariff under the leadership of
te Spectator.

We are glad to see that the soul of our Navy
begins to receive public attention. Timber and
iron can always be had, if there be only men to
use them. Never was the material of our ship-
ping, we believe, in greater readiness for any con-
tingency, and nothing is wanted but hardy hands
and willing hearts to serve her MAJESTY. To
get them, we must urge on the public the pro-
priety of doing justice to the seamen. Their
services must be bought at their worth and
price in the market, like the services of
any other class of men. Shall the owner
of a log, however much the country might
require timber, be secure that not au inch of
wood will be taken from him, but by contract,
and at a fair price, and shall the owner of a sea-
man's skill have no security that the whole of
his possessions—that he himself, shall not be
taken for the use of the public ? That security
is yet wanting to induce men to become seamen,
as they will willingly become when they can,
like the owners of timber, be sure that they will
be allowed to enjoy their property. Once that
security shall be bestowed, our country will
have quite as many seamen as it requires.
Whatever tends to do them justice shall have
our warmest support; and wecannot avoid, there-
fore, expressing our approbation of the order of
the Admiralty recently issued, which grants the
seamen their pensions when serving on board her
.MAJESTY'S ships. These are the rewards of past
services, and those who again serve are entitled
to the same pay as the other men filling the
same station. If they are not to receive pay in
addition to their pensions, none of them will
serve in the navy. They will enter the merchant
service, they will engage in other occupations,
and make what they can by their industry in
addition to their pensions. It is just and wise,
therefore, to allow them to keep their pensions
in addition to their pay, when they re-enter the
Navy.

The Memorial of the Sussex Shipowners' So-
ciety to the President of the Board of Trade,
is a consolatory feature in the present deranged
state of trade and commerce. Injustice, like
fever and plague, cannot long be inflicted on one
portion of society without sooner or later affect-
ing all around it. The poor starving Paisley
weavers, the suffering operatives of Leeds, and
the insolvent small shopkeepers in most of our
manufacturing towns, will soon have many com-
panions in affliction. The shipowners, many of,
whom assisted in restoring to office the Do-no-
thing Government, begin already to cry out that
unless something is done, and that speedily, they
will be ruined. The restrictions on trade, imposed
by our hereditary Legislators and a House of
Commons representing only the wealthier classes,
have depressed British shipping nearly as much
as British manufactures. Foreign vessels are•
competing successfully with our own ; and those
en ftrofi n the Baltic trade, in particular, are
tlfrr ned with absolute ruin. It appears that
of the total number of vessels employed in our
trade with that quarter, nearly two-thirds belong
to foreign countries. " This," say the distressed
shipowners, " arises from the fact that Baltic:
ships can be built, manned, victualled, and sailed
at nearly one-half the cost of British ships. The
tax alone on the building material for 100 tons'
of shipping amounts to 5001., independently of
the tax on labour and freightage of the materials
to this country." But this is not all. The Sound
dues levied on grain imported from some of - the-
Baltic ports amounts to sixty per cent.-more
if in British than foreign privileged vessels.
'nder such disadvantages, no skill, enterprise,
or wealth, can save our shipping from ruin.
The depression in one quarter must soon be felt
in another,
and iu a few years, perhaps months,
we shall find - our enterprising shipowners and
hardy sailors, the great bulwark of the country,
reduced to a state of bankruptcy and want, not
exceeded even by that of the master manufac-
turers and operatives. Do the nobles and the
landed gentry imagine that they can escape the
effects of this wide-spreading devastation ? Pro-
vidence has ordained it otherwise. "He that op-
presseth the poor to increase his riches, and he
that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to I
want."

From a brief account, in another part of
The Sun, of some statements made yesterday by
the clergyman of a Catholic church in London,
it appears that the pestilence has reached the
metropolis, and that the wealthier classes are
obliged to curtail their donations to the poor,
from the want of means.. We do not regret it.
However much we sympathise with the suffer-
ings of the working classes, we rejoice that they
are not to suffer alone. The shipping interest,

the landlords, and the millionaires even, will
take alarm, and compel- the Government to
take measures for staying the plague which now
threatens every yortion of the community.

We cannot dis. regard the appeal made to the
impartial justice of the public press by the meet-
ing of the Trades' Delegates of London, held' on
Friday night, to take into consideration the strike
of the masons at the new Houses of Parliament.
When questions, affecting the interests of large
bodies of the co,rn Inanity, however humble their
position in society, are brought fairly and regularly
before us, we are always willing to treat them
in a spirit of the .utmost fairness. If we can
be accused of a bias, from which few mortals
are entirely free:, it is of never leaning to the
side of the sire-ng against the weak, of taking
part of the pcosverful oppressor against the
helpless oppressed. But in the case of the
masonic strike, . -we have not hitherto had all
the facts sufliciettaly before us. What the masons
stated one day M:iessrs. GRISSELL and PETO con-
tradicted the netts sO that we could only advance
c^e amidst a host of clashing assertions.
But the meeting held last night was a step toI
the placilv' a full, clear, and true state-
ment of facts betinse the country. Now, all the
statements made det that meeting arc yet open
to contradiction. They are ex carte, in-
asmuch as neithm• Mr. GRISSELL nor Mr.
PETO, nor their foreman, Mr. ALLEN, arc
reported to have been present. Bitt should the
statements of Mr. WORTHINGTON, not be contra-
dicted—should the silence of ALLEN and his em-
ployers leave no doubt on the public mind of
their truth—then, speaking under that supposi-
tion, we regard the conduct of Messrs. GRISSELL
and PET° in not discharging ALLEN as
highly reprehensible. The instances of tyranny
adduced by WO:RTHINGTON against ALLEN, it'
true, are so atrociously unnatural that we find
the utmost difficulty in believing that
they could take place in a Christian Olin-
try. A young: man requests a fortnight
to go down to Manchester to bury his mothers
instead of being commended for his filial piety,
an insolent foreman restricts him to two ddys, at
the peril of losing his work. The poor young man
is expected to entomb a parent as he would bury
a dog, without being. allowed a single day
to visit her grave and commune with his
own heart. He is a poor working man, and is
therefore expected to have no feelings apart from
those of labouring; a certain number of hours for
a certain rate of wages. The next instance of
alleged tyranny it, if possible, grosser still. A
mason went to catch the last breath ofa dying wife;
he stopped to see her remains decently restored
to their mother earth, and on returning heart-
stricken to his employment is met by a foreman
who tells him to "go and die with her and be
d--d ! " Need we trouble our readers with fur-
ther instances a tyranny, so revolting to the
dearest feelings of our common nature, cited at
this meeting ? Is there any act of oppression
that could be disbelieved of a man capable of
co mmitting one or the other of those to which
w have so briefly alluded ?
The meeting of the Trades' on Friday night was
an adjourned one, so that an -opportunity will be
afforded to Messrs. GRISSELL and PET° to contra-
dict the statements of the Chairman, should they
happen to be unfounded. For our own

part, we are not in a condition to
decide upon the question one way or the other.
We repeat once for all, that what we have written
above is based on the hypothesis that the state-
ments made at the meeting are true.

It is with the deepest regret we announce our
apprehensions that incendiarism is again begin-
ning to prevail. More than one incendiary fire
has already taken place in Yorkshire ; the
Brighton Herald gives an account of the wilful
burning of a wheat-rick near Arundel; and
several other provincial Journals contain state-
ments of similar atrocities. These are ominous
signs, and such as Ministers will do well to
take heed to betimes. They indicate a feverish
and alarming state of things which requires a far
prompter and more efficient remedy than Sir. R.
PEEL seems inclined to apply—that is to say,
provided he can first obtain the permission of his
aristocratic task-masters. Incendiarism is not a
danger that lies merely on the surface; and none
should know this better than the Tories, whose
last days of power, in the year 1830, were ren-
dered remarkable by the blazing of barns
and hay-stacks all over the country.
With the expulsion of these men from office
ceased the atrocities of Swing; with their return
to Downing-street, he, too, renews his old career
of crime and desperation. Will the Tories tell
us after this that there is a reaction in favour of
Toryism throughgut the country; and that the
starving and destitute operatives are perfectly
content to wait till February for an inquiry into
their case ? Sir R. PEEL would have us believe
that they are; and when his attention is directed
to the state of the manufacturing districts; when
he is informed by those who are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the subject, that trade is not only lan-
guishing, but in many towns in a state of utter stag-
nation; that thousands who last year were compa-
ratively well off, are now unable to find so much
as a small loaf for the day's scanty meal ; —when
these facts are brought home to Sir R. PEEL,
how does he reply ? By reading some paltry
partial Savings' Banks statistics in Parliament,
which, so far from assisting his case, make it
stronger than ever against him ! As he has
resolutely turned a deaf ear to the cry of
despair and starvation that has reached him from
the manufacturing districts, we are not without
our apprehensions that, in the alarming instance
of incendiarism, he will content himself with pu-
nishing the crime, without troubling himself to
investigate and remove the cause. The following
extract from the Western Times will show that
we have not exaggerated the present distresses
of the people—

"•• The state of the country becomes every day more ap-
palling. Famine stares the masses in the tace. The
failure of the potato° crop, owing to the extreme wet-
ness of the weather, and the wide-spread devastation of
the floods, will add greatly to tho misery of a deficient
grain crop. Sir Robert Peel has prorogued the Parlia-
ment, but he has not stifled the cries of the sufferingr
millions. The approaching winter is viewed with appre-
hension by all classes."

We received last night Dutch papers up to
the '22d hist. At the sitting of the 21st—

A message from the King announced that he had
named .Nl—;Van Dam Van Isselt, the firtht candidate on
the list, President during the present session.
'A Backer, President during the preceding session,
having thanked the Chamber for the kind feeling which
it had manifested towards him, and for its co-operation
in the. leng and remarkable session which had just
closed, resigned the. chair to M. Van Dam Van Isselt,
who addressed the assembly in an appropriate speech.
,Llesaid that having been fur 12 years a Member of the
Chamber, and taken part in the most important delibe-
ratiOns,lie could not but feel gratified at his nomination,
since he must consider it as a
proof of approbation
which would encourage him to persevere in the course
he had hitherto followed,
" We had to pass," said he, " through years of trouble
and care, whiCh have .undermined the prosperity of the
country ; a new era has commenced which will be an era
of reparation and restoration."
BERLIN, OCT. 11.—Tile King will set out on the 16th
for Tegernsee. It is not certain how long his Majesty
will be absent, but it is supposed not beyond the begin-
ning of the next month. Count Maltzan, the Minister
for Foreign Affairs entered on his office yesterday, and
removed to the hotel of that department. Baron Brock-
hausen, Minister at the Court of Stockholm, is recalled
at his own request, and is expected here in a few days,
and will be appointed to another diplomatic mission in a
milder climate. It is thought that Count Seckendorf,
our Charge d'AFitires at Brussels, will be his successor
at Stockholm.

which the English
CoeExTrAcmg, Om 12.—The new armed iron steam-
boat,r:ved yeterday in our roads under the command of Lieut.
Admiralty has had built, ar-
Thinner. It encountered a violent storm in the North
Sea, and proved to be an excellent boat. Persons not
acquainted with such matters are quite surprised at
seeing how the sides of the vessel were beaten in and
indented by
the violence of the waves. All our Journals
declare very decidedly, and some of them very violently,
against any closer connection with the German Confede-
ration and the Customs Union. The Faderland con-
tains a very detailed discussion of this matter, in which,
instead of a union with Germany, it recommends
an alliance with the Scandinavian kingdom.
BERLIN, Ocr. 16.—Our cotton manufacturers hare been
complaining for some time
past that business is slack ;
sales cannot be effected. In coarse articles our manu-
facturers can compete with the English and French, but
in fine articles we are behind them, and the ordinary

goods scarcely afford any profit. There are instances
where the manufacturers gain no more than 2d. or 4d.
on one piece of cotton. Attempts have been made to
send manufacturers to North and South America, but
the English and French have the advantage in those
countries and speculations there failed. The parties
interested now think that the evil lies in the want of pro-
tecting duties in favour of our own manufactures against
foreigners, and ask for relief, but the system of reciprocity
is in tbe, way. Well informed persons are of opinion
that too much is manufactured for the consumption, as
Lord Aberdeen said, of England.

Dutch Papers, Oct. 23.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Thursday
have reached us. The following telegraplric de-
spatches with news from Spain appear in the
official columns of the Moniteur of that day :

" BAYONNE, OCT. 18.
" THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR.
" On the 14th General Ayerbe went out of Pampeluna,
and marched against O'Donnell."

" BA.YONNE, OCT. 19.
" THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR

" It is affirmed that O'Donnell has effected his junc-
lion with Urbistondo at Tolosa. Iturbe has joined Al-
cala at Hernani. Their advanced guard was at Andoain.
According to the Ministerial journal the Espectador of
/he 12th, the Regent has sent orders to Don Francisco
to suspend his entrance into Spain."
" BAYONNE, OCT. 19.
" THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR.

" On the 16th, O'Donnell gained possession of Estella.
Urbistondo was in the morning of the 18th at Tolosa,
and Alcala at Andoain. The Carlist Colonel Lanz is
scouring the frontier at Navarre, at the head of some
old officers and soldiers of his party, seconding O'Don-
nell. Affairs were in the same state at Pampeluna, in
the evening of the 17th. Ayerbe has entered the town,
and, did not march with the two battalions sent against
O'Donnell."

" PERPIGNAN, OCT. 19.
" THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 21ST MILITARY

DIVISION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR,

" The municipality of Valencia declared itself on the
14th to be in permanence, and now governs. It has de-
cided upon raising a third battalion of National Guards,
to be composed of men of the port and sailors from the
Grao. Each alcade is preparing a list of suspected per-
sons within his quarter. None but the patriots are al.
lowed to go out of the town. Entrance has been refused
to three companies of the Regiment of Savoy, coming
from Alicant. General Seoane returned to Valencia
on the evening of the 14th."
" BAYONNE, OCT. 20.
" THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR.

"Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, Alcala was tomarch to Her-
nani. It appears certain that 1,500 volunteers from Na-
varre have taken part with O'Donnell "
',MITI these despatches it would appear that
the insurrection is not so near suppressed as was
at first supposed. Hence CHRISTINA MUNOZ'S
disavowal of the " words" attributed to her by
the Spanish Ambassador. When insurrection
appears to succeed, she grows anxious to take
advantage of it. The Times, however, publishes
the following extract from a letter from Paris,
dated " Thursday, 6 o'clock, P.M.," which gives
s'. very different account of the prospects of
Madame MUNOZ and her partisans:—
" You may regard the insurrection in Spain as at an
end. The principal chiefs of it are either arrested or
have taken refuge in France. Among the former is M.
-Montes de Oca.

" The regiments which had taken part in the revolt
have submitted to the Regent, and have taken anew the
oath of fidelity to the present Government ; of these the
Regiment& Bourbon is the most important.
The entire population of the country through which
the arnlitif IKdil passed submitted.
" I wrote you:4to-day that by arrivals of the 17th
inst., from. Barcelona, the revolutionary movement in
that city continued. The Republicans of Barcelona
have made an appeal to the Republicans of France."
The following extracts include all the news to
be found in the Journals of Thursday :
A. correspondent of the Spanish frontier writes to the
Presse—" Hitherto the troops of both parties in the
Basque provinces have respected all the couriers of
Foreign Cabinets. Espartero's General (Alcala) has
become the first to fail in this respect. He stopped, at
Andoain, the last courier sent by the French Govern-
ment to its Charge d'Affaires at Madrid, and compelled
him to return to Bayonne."
The French penal code which, up to the present time,
had remained in force in the Rhenish provinces of Hesse
Cassel, has been superseded by a new German code,
which was solemnly promulgated on the 13th inst.
The collection of works of art left by Goethe, the Ger-
man poet, are to be immediately brought to public sale.
They are said to be of great value, and several German
savans are employed in preparing the catalogue.
The Vigie de t Ouest gives the following account of an
occurrence near Newfoundland :—" For many years
past, when fish began to get scarce at Newfoundland,
both the English and French fishermen have been in the
habit of fishing off the little island called Belle-Isle,
which was. considered neutral ground. This year our
fishermen were as usual fishing quietly at this spot, when
an English corvette perceiving them, sent a boat to plant
the British flag upon the island, and then insolently or-
dered our fishermen to leave, threatening to fire upon
them in the event of refusal. This new act of English
piracy has been communicated by Capt. Collet, of the
brig Hippolyte-Marie, which has just arrived at La Ro-
chelle from Newfoundland."

A Bayonne correspondent writes to the Memorial
Bordelais :—" The opposition journals have made Spain
a terrible residence for the French. Being accused of
the present evils in the country, they cannot pass along
the high road without liability to the vengeance of the
exasperated people. •In the Tertullias, coffee-houses, and
all other public places, nothing is heard but impreca-
tions against the French. The Spaniards say, 'There
can be no doubt of the connivance of the French Govern-
ment at the acts of the insurgents, since the French
journals themselves announce the fact.' "
A letter from Warsaw states that an Ukase has been
published, ordering that all accounts in Poland shall be
kept in Russian money, and that. the Russian silver
rouble shall be the standard of the circulating medium.

A young idiotic girl of Felletin, in the Creuse, being
a few days ago left in a loft, amused herself with igniting
a number of eheavieal nuatehea,. .and thereby set .fire to
quantities of straw and broom. The flames spread with
such rapidity, that great part of the most populous
quarter of the village was burnt down without the possi-
bility of saving any of the furniture and effects. No
part of the property was insured.
" We are expressly authorised to declare publicly,"
says the Journal des Debats, " that the words attributed
to Maria Christina in the despatch sent by the Spanish
Minister to General Alcala, have already been formally
disavowed by the Queen, and that this disavowal has
been addressed to M. Olozaga himself by her Majesty's
Secretary." On the same subject the Prase says—
" From sources which we have every reason to believe
correct, we learn that M. Olozaga having in another
document argued upon the same words, they have been
officially disavowed in the name of the Queen by her
Secretary, and that this disavowal has been in the hands
of the Ambassador five or six days."
The following is from the Courrier Francais :—" One
of the principal employes of the Minister of Marine, who
was sent to England a month ago, has returned to Paris,
and is preparing a report on the British navy. It appears
that he satisfied himself that, at the moment when the
British Cabinet was most vehement in its demand for
the reduction of our navy, and when our Ministry had
given an assurance that this measure would be shortly
carried into execution, the English Admiralty was giv-
ing orders for fitting out several vessels, and building
others. We are assured that England has at this mo-
ment ten more ships fitted out than she had in July last.
These facts ought certainly to give rise to some remon-
strances on. the part of our Cabinet ; but the reduction
of our navy has already commenced in nearly all our
ports, and it is not probable that it will be postponed."
Maillard and Revoil, two men arrested during the dis-
turbances in Paris last month, were tried before the
Correctional Tribunal, and sentenced one to eighteen
months' imprisonment, and the other, under circum-
stances which made his delinquency extremely light, to
the same penalty, for only five days. The Procureur du
Roi, conceiving their punishments inadequate, laid an
appeal before the Cour Royale, which was heard yester-
day, and dismissed. Revoil having, in consequence of
the appeal, been detained in prison forty instead of-five
days, was immediately discharged.
Robberies continue to be committed in several of the
villages round Pario. A few evenings ago some thieves
attacked a female servant in the garden of a house at
Ivry, and, before she could get within doors, succeeded
in carrying off some silver spoons. An attempt was made
by two men the following day to break into the chateau
of Madame du Cayla, at St. Ouen, by forcing the shut-
ters of a ground floor room ?. but a gardener hearing the
noise came to the spot, and the men, taking to their heels,
effected their escape across the park.
The Courrier Francais says :—" As certain acts of
the French Government.are not in accord with its °al it
declarations, it is our riuty to notice the contradiction.

The Minister of the Interior will, without doubt, think
it necessary to explain the following circumstance.
An inhabitant of the Basque provinces, Munagorri, had,
in the name of Maria Christina, urged the peasants to
revolt ; pursued and hard pressed, he took refuge
in France. The Commandant of Behobia, upon his ap-
plication, gave a permission to go to Bayonne, to present
himself to the Sub-Prefect, M. Ernest Leroy. Muna-
gorri did not remain long, but returned to Spain, where
ho met with his death. The Spanish Consul at Bayonne,
having learned that Munagorri had seen the Sub-Prefect,
and been left at liberty to set out again, demanded ex-
planations. M. Leroy being pressed to send this parti-
san of Maria Christina, said he had made his escape un-
known to him. The Consul was bound to believe the
word of a man who represented the French Govern-
ment, but the Sub-Prefect did not speak the truth. On
stripping the body of Munagorri there was found upon
him a passport, signed by M. Leroy, and bearing the
stamp of the Sub-Prefecture. This passport, which is
for Spain, is written at the foot of the permission which
Munagorri had received from the commandant of Be-
hobia to enter Franco. We have touched it with our
hands, and seen it with our eyes. Nothing short of that
would have induced us to give credit to a fact which im-
peaches the honour of the French Government. "It is said
that 3,000 muskets have been sent publicly from Ba-
yonne to Bilbao. We do not affirm this, for we are
unwilling _to add anything to the grave accusation which
we have made."

The Commerce says —" A movement of concentration
by several regiments is taking place towards the Spanish
frontier. Orders have been forwarded from the Minister
of War to the Lieutenants• General of the 7th, 9th, 10th,
and 11th military_divisions to send a portion of their
disposable troops towards Perpignan."
" Wo, are positively informed (says the Constitutionncl)
that M. Olozaga, the Spanish Ambassador, has delivered
to our Government a note, strongly complaining of the
conduct of the Spanish refugees resident at Paris and
Bayonne, and requiring that such of them ac are known
to be instigators of the revolt in Spain, and members of
different Committee) formed for that purpose, be expelled
from France. We are not yet made acquainted with the
answer of our •Ministers ; but it is asserted that orders
have been given for removing all the Spaniards who arc
at Bayonne, and marked as ardent' partisans of Queen
Christina, into the interior of the kingdom. This ac-
count is scarcely in accordance with the declaration of
her Majesty, made public through the letter of M. 010-.
zaga • but that Ambassador appears to be so well in-
formed of the projects of the frequenters of the Hotel in
the Rue de Courcelles, that we have reason to confide in
the veracity of the facts we relate."

The 67th Regiment of the Line, which had recently
ariivei at Lyons, has been ordered from that city to
Perpignan.
Tile responsible editor of the Pays, a Radical Journal
of Auch, in the Gers, has just been tried by the Court
of Assizes at that place, for an article on the census. He
has been found guilty, and sentenced to six months' im-
prisonment, 500 E fine, and 1,200 f. damages, to the Mayor
and Deputy-Mayors of Ana.
The Impartial of Besancon relates, that in the night
of the 13th instant an attempt was made on the life of
the Cure of La Riviere, in the Doubs, by a sort of in-
fernal machine, formed of a beech billet made hollow,
closed at each end with pieces of iron, and filled with
gunpowder and pieces of lead closely rammed in. At a
touch -hole made with a small gimblet was placed a piece
of lighted tinder, calculated to burn down to the powder
in a given time. This destructive weapon was placed at
the window of the Cure's bedchamber, and there exploded
about twelve at night. The missiles, instead of striking
direct at the bed as intended, went up to the ceiling, and
thence fell, some on the bed and others on the floor, but
none touched the destined object. Two men, respect-
able inhabitants of the commune, with whom the Cure
had had differences, are in custody under strong suspi-
cion of being the perpetrators of this culpable act.
The Liberal du Nord of Douai announces that a meet-
ing of the sugar manufacturers of the Nord and the Pas-
de-Calais, was held three days ago at the Hotel de
Flandre, in that town, and came to resolutions " for re-
sisting," it says, " the destructive projects in contem-
plation of the Government against this branch of na-
tional industry, the present state of which is by no means
prosperous." Our readers will remember the remon-
strance from the merchants of Havre to the MiniSter of
Commerce on the colonial sugar-trade, drawn up only
a few days since. _ - _

An experiment has just been made at Lyons by M.
Comaschi, tilt aeronaut, with an oblong-shaped balloon,
instead of the pear-shaped ones commonly employed. By
judiciously managing his ballast and valves he was able
to profit by several successive currents of wind blowing
in different directions, and was able apparently to guide
his balloon with facility. No accident took place, and
his descent was effected with ease. The ends of the
balloon were made flexible, and aided him greatly in his
manoeuvres.

tt e are assured that M. Olozaga, the Spanish Ambas-
sador, has delivered to our Government a note in which
he vehemently complains of the conduct of the Spanish
refugees residing at Paris and at Bayonne, and that he
has required that all those who are known as instigators
of the revolt in Spain, and that the members of the
several Committees found for that purpose shall be
expelled from France. • We do not yet know
what answer the Ministers may have made to
this note ; but it is said that orders have just
been given to send further into the interior the
Spaniards at -Bayonne, and who are pointed out as the
most violent partisans of Queen Christina. This news
by no means agrees with th© declaration of Queen
Christina, rendered public by Mr. Olozaga's letter, but
that Ambassador seems to be so well informed of the
projects of the frequenters of. the Hotel in the- Rue
d'Courcelles, that we have every reason to believe the
accuracy of the facts which we relate.--Constitutionnet
It is said that. M. Olozaga has hinted once or twice
to the French Cabinet that he was inclined to ask 'for
his passports. A Minister said this evening at the
opera that the Government was resolved to give them
to him as soon as he should ask for_them.—Temps.
