religion winch they proress. Thus, then, the
Catholic religion is proclaimed intolerant by men
who call themselves its defenders, and deli-
rious fanatics who proclaim in the Peninsula this
sacrilegious opinion, find complacent echositt a
country which reckons amongst the greatest be-
nefits of its new social organization the tolerance
granted to all modes of worship. Such is, tile
progress of the Journals opposed to us. They
began by making an apology for absolute power,
leaving out the Inquisition, but the Inquisition is
to have its turn, and it will also find its apologist :
the Drapcau Blanc has opened the way.
[PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.]
Diet, charged,
Ju 6.—The Committee of the Germanic
Diet, charged, as it would seem, with the execution of the
measures decreed at the Congresses of Carlsbad and Verona, for
restraining more and more the liberty of the press in Germany,
has, after the signal victory obtained over one of our Journals,
the German Observer, declared war against another of our
public Journals. It seems that all that is published in the in-'
dependent kingdom of Wurtemburg has become to the Diplo-
macy assembled at Frankfort so many intolerable thorns that
must, at whatever price, be torn from the Germanic soil.
The Journal now eliminated is intided 'innate, Universelles
Politiques ; It enjoys the general esteem, its principal Editor is
a publicist highly distinguished by his talents, and not less
honoured for hie moral qualities. The 'Editor-Proprietor is
M. Cotta, celebrated in the annals of bookselling, and who
has certainly never been accused of hostile intentions towards
any German Government. But unfortunately there has been
found amongst all the irreproachable pages of the iinnaks
a single article, which bears this title—Les Diplomates, and
which has excited the strong resentment of the Committee of
the Diet.
According to the declaration of the Committee,. this article
is incompatible, not only. with the Monarchial principle im
general, but also with the individual security of every State of
the Germanic Confederation, the important class of public
functionaries being treated lightly and without consideration ;
the author, moreover, attempting with extreme arrogance to
throw contempt upon diplomacy itself.
The Committee add, that' although its Members belong to
the class of Diplomatists, and that it cannot thus appear to de-
cide in its own cause, it nevertheless considers Itself bound to
declare that this article is of the number of those of which it
ought to take notice as wounding the hdnour of the Diet, and
of the principal Sovereigns of Germany, as well as of their
Ministers.
All those who have toad here the Annaks Universalles, and
they are not a small number, are at a less to conceive how a
!dissertation, which appears to them very innocent, and free
from all blame; eon produce a sensation so different amongst the
high employ4es of the Diet of Frankfort. No person is named
in the cruntnated article, it deals in nothing' but "generalities,
and, as in all classes of society, there areindividnals possessed
of talents and virtue, and others who want them, it is not easily
discoverable how what is said of bad diplomatists (of whom
however, none are pointed out) can wound the good.—Tints
we are convinced here that our Sovereign, who has contracted
with the people of Wurtemberg, a social pact, in which some
liberty is guaranteed, and which permits opinions to go forth,
through the medium of the press, that wound neither laws nor
morality, nor indiriduals,---we are convinced, that after having
permitted the suppression of the German Observer, his Majesty
will insist at the Germanic Diet that it should grant peace to
our other inoffensive Journals, and not adopt without examina-
tion the advice of its Committee.

INTELLIGENCE FROM CORUNNA

[From the Diario ConstHuvional de la Carolina of Spiltlay,
July 13.
CORUNNA, JULY 12.—General Wilson having,
on his arrival at Comma, known that the new
Regency of Seville had, on its arrival at the isle
of Leon, restored to the King all his.Constitu,
tional authority, wrote to the Count of Cartha—
gemt (Morino) to inform him Of .the event, And
to desire that as he was charged with distribut-
ing aid to the patriotic Spaniards defending their
Constitution, they might unite to secure the
ternal peace of the province, whatever might be
the opinion of the' Cortes as to Legislative mea-
sures, so as to oppose the foreigners invading
our country.
The Count of Carthagena did not accept this
proposition, but on the contrary. suggested to
General Wilson to counsel the Spaniards in ge
neral to submit to the enemy, and, notwitl►stand
ing the. restoration of authority to the King, ti
disobey the Cortes. • General Wilson having re
ceived this answer, transmitted it to Genera
Quiroga, with the following letter :

" Snron GENERAL—I have the honour to send your Ex.
cellency copies of the Correspondence which has passed be.

- -
tween the Count of Carthagena and myself.
" Your Excellency will see that I took advantage of an op-
portunity which appeared favourable to penetrate the views of
the Count of Carthagena, and to re-establish the harmony and
union so desirable, and on which depends the general safety.
" Unfortunately the understanding between General Moral()
and the invader opposes invincible obstacles.
" I shall conclude, that all sacrifices which a stranger can
make, and which honour permits, 1 shall always be ready to
offer in behalf of the generous Spanish peoples but, in the pre-
sent state of things, and in the situation in which I am placed,
I can do no more than repeat my determination to suffer the
same lot as the Spaniards, he it what it may.
" I pray your Excellency to receive the assurances of the
high consideration, &c. " ROBERT WILSON.
` Corunna, July IQ, 1023."
Every preparation was making at Corunna for the defence of
that place.
