The attempt of the Continental Sovereigns
to put down the freedom of nations, though it
has succeeded for the present as to Spain, yet
the triumph will be but for a moment. There
,\
is an empire, daily growing up in strength which
will baffle all the power of the Holy A lance
to subdue it—the empire of reason and k mw-
ledge. Before this dominion they must bow down.
To wage war against it is sheer insanity ; it is to
war against nature. Even Spain will, ere long,
work out her own deliverance ; the spirit of li-
berty is spreading itself in secret. The monks
and friars—the hungry minions of debauchery
and despotism—have recovered their fanatic sway
only to lose it soon, and for ever. The Patriots
at this moment re dispersed in dungeons by the
44 absolute Kink;" but—
" An arm more strong than shuts their prison doors
Shall burst them soon, and give them ample vengeance."
Ferdinand, and with him the Bourbon dynasty,
must fall. Spain must rid herself of the race.
A nation so ruled is dishonoured by the very act
of its allegiance. A reign of hypocrisy, of per-
fidy, of cowardice, or oppression—a reign filled
with cruelty uncalled for, and foul murders un-
provoked—is a state of things to which no people
can or ought submit.
" The God within them must rise up against it."
The murder of the gallant Riego has roused a
feeling of bitter indignation in Spain, that are
long will shake the realm to •Its- centre. That
Book of Fate is even now open, ant; the confe-
derate Cabinets may find Instruction in every leaf
of it. It had been well for Europe had they
looked into it before ; but it is never too late to
be wise.

[MORNING, HERALD.]
Thursday's Paris Papers arrived yesterday.
They► contain no fresh or interesting intelligence.
The Monideur is chiefly occupied with Royal
Ordonnances ; one of which decrees that por-
traits of certain Judges of the ancient re-
gime shall be placed in the Courts of Justice,
with those of the modern Judges, conform-
ably to au extension of a Decree of Buena-
parte in 1810. The others relate to the
keeping the registries of births and marriages.—
Preparations were actively going on for the tri-
umphal reception of the Duke of Angouleme. M.
Pozzo di Bongo, the Russian Ambassador, is ex-
pected at Paris from Madrid on the 15th of De-
cember. The controversy respecting the law of
elections and the constitution of the Chamber still
continus. M. de Chateaubriand seems to have acted
like the King of Prussia, when his Majesty found
himself worsted in argument by poor M. Thie-
intuit and Co. He has resorted to his power,
and commenced a prosecution against M. Kera.
try, the Deputy, who replied to, and it may be
supposed refuted, the sixpenny pamphlet of the
Minister. Accounts of the 21st of November
from Augsburgh, state that a meeting of the prin-
cipal bankers of Vienna had been called by the
Austrian Minister of Finance, in order to con-
sider the best means of arresting the continued
fall of the Austrian funds.

We received Paris Papers at a late hour last
night by exprets. They contain nothing. of the
slightest interest,and are.almost wholly occupied
with an account of the trial of a Madame Boar.

with having poisoned her husband. The servant
is suspected of:having been the paramour of this
lady, and that they both conspired to get rid of
the husband in , order to shake off all restraint.

to excite as much interest in Paris as Castaign's.
The Court adjourned to the following day.—

important subject was before the Court of King's

authority, amounts to nearly 15,0001. a-year.--4
