An examination took place yesterday, which on its present
imperfect state, we should think it very unfair' to the party
accused to publish in detail. One gentleman, Charged another,
an officer in the army, with having seduced hitt wife during
hie absence on the Continent, and stated, that on his return
he went to the lodging. of the seducer, and was there
engaged in a personal struggle with him, when a friend of' the
seducer, a naval officer, entered the room and distherged a pis.
tol, which wounded the landlady of the house in the leg so
severely that she was unable to attend. Whether the pistol
was discharged accidentally or by design was not clearly proved,
and nothing was said In reply to the ex-parte statement of the
complainant, as the accused persons were recommended to re-
serve their defence till a future period.—They werrcommitted

[Tut Tisits.l
Since the execution of Riego, and the entrance
of the King into Madrid, there is a suspension of
eeivs from Spain. We have but little doubt,
however, that Crop of folly, and perhaps of
cruelty, is ripening during The interval. His
Majesty is said, in the letter which we subjoin, to
have determined upon disbanding the Royalist as
nwe us the Constitntional Army. If the French
were fernoved, we should wish for nothing better.
Let him trust himself to his faithful and loviug
'Objects. But it was the disbanding of an army
in the confidence of good intentions that first
roved injurious to the Cartes :-
44 Pants, Nov. 9.4.--The Government courier
from Mildrid has to-day brought intelligence
him that capital to the 17th inst. Three days
had thus elapsed sirlfe the solemn entrance of the
King, and nothing was known of these important
decrees by which his return was to be signalized.
It is even said that his Majesty oh4tinately resists
all proposals to bind himself to forgiveness; by
the puialicntion of an amnesty, anti is determined
to retain the privilege of executing ns many of his
subjects as he pleases. limning the latter part
of his journey, and since his arrival in the ca-
pital, he has been hardly plied by some of the
at ents of France, and even of the Holy Alliance,
,dismiss his Minister Confessor, but Ott this
point, likewise, he has hitherto been inflexible.
His conscience, which is in the keeping of the
Confessor, will not permit him to part with the
Minister. The less fanatic Royalists and the
Foreign Ministers have not, however, as yet
given up all hope of being able to effect a change
in the Spanish Cabinet, by; firm, or perhaps me-
nacing, represeutations. Ilion!) his Majesty
has neither published an amnesty, nor announced
his intention of giving any form of constitutional
freedom, he has decided on other measures of
great importance. He has determined, for in-
stance, to disband both the Royalist and Con-
stitutional troops, and to create an entirely new
army, as he has found the doubtful allegiance
of the' latter not more formidable to the continu-
ance of his power than the disorders, oppression,
and pillage of the former. This measure, it is
expected, will excite great discontent among the
'rasgamuffins of the Faith, and lead to demands
and remonstrances on the part of the fanatics of
all classes. I'm order to avoid the necessity of
bearing complaints which he cannot redress, or
solicitations with which he cannot comply, his
Majesty has been recommended to retire to the
17,,eurlal darting the execution of this measure.—
In the intervalr between time dissolution of the
existing army, and the creation of anew one, the
French troops are to maintain order in the Pe-
uinsula. Tins reports, therefore, of their coming
home itt any considerable OUMbers are entirely
destitute of foundation. General Bourmont,
who commanded at Cadiz after its surrender,
has arrived at Madrid, and taken the corns
mend of that garrison on the 15th instant.
—The French Army of Occupation will be
generally intrusted to Generals of Ultra 'prin-
isiples. Gen. Gailleminot, who has been regarded
as the Mentorof his Royal Highness the Duke
of Angouleme during the campaign, and'who had
a right to expect a high appointment from the
friendship and popularity of his patron, is neither
to remaiu in Spain nor, France. Ile is to be no-
minated Ambassador to Constantinople, and will
thus he removed from any chance of profiting
by the successes which are supposed to be partly
owing to his services and counsels. The Ultras
were afraid that it might be found necessary to
create birri,Ministe.r of War bad he returned to
reiride in Paris. l'ozzo di Borg°, the Russian
Minister, is soOn expected from Madrid. Ile
is afraid to make it known that he can be spared
from Paris. The knowledge of this secret may
be dangerous to his permanence in the French
Mission."

[MORNINO. POST.]
We received last night, by e4press, French
Papers to the telth inst. Their contents are go-
nerally insignificant.• Viscount Chateauhriand
having published a small pamphlet, in which
he eloquently defends the proposed dissolution
of the, Chamber and the establishment of sep-
tennial Parliaments, all the Ultra Royalist Jou-
rnals have fallen foul of their late idol, and en-
deavour to overturn 'his arguments, which they
represent as neither wise nor jest, hut which
they cannot easily controvert. The Quolidienne
is suddenly grown an alarmist, ,and pretends
that a measure which it recommended a few
weeks since (when it thought that its own
friends would either compose or command the
Ministry), must now be attended with great in-
conveulenee, if not danger to the peace and well-
being of the community and the throne. " There
was in society," says that Paper, 44 none of those
anxieties which require to be soothed and set at
rest, and the announcement of a measure, the ob-
ject of which was to cause inquietude® to cease,
hes on the:; contrary created thew. Public
opinion has necome alarmed at not being per-
mitted to remain tranquil, and at being treated
as if it were not so." It is remarkable
" that the strongest argument used by the
Ultras to dissuade the Ministers from their
intenthm, the complete subserviency of a
Chamber renewed by annual fifths, and the moral
certainty that ono elected for seven years will
he far mere independent. The letter, indeed, is
represented as alinost inconsistent with the ino-
principles, and the act of rendering it-
self Septennial, as an act of "Sovereig,rity, if not
of esurpation.'"fhese Papers announce officially
that the island of 'Majorca had received the new
Governor brought by the French, but appointed
by Ferdintadel. They also contain a pretended
ankle from Gibraltar, abinniling' with the
grossemt,fabelemis, respecting the conduct said
to have. been adopted by the British Governor
towtirtls the Spenliti Refug-ees. It is not teue
that tiny lind received orders to leave the gerri-
Sint hours. They have met with thee, re-
eeption doe to misfortuee, and will continue 'to

receive ample proof that Britain exercises hospi-
tality not only on her own shores, but wherever
her standard is planted.

[rim TIMES.]
Consols' varied yesterday but in a trifling de-
gree. They opened at the high quotation of
841 for the Account,. were at different periods
ofAhe day 841 and 84;1,, but closed as they
opened, S 4. Much business was done in the
English, bUt:little in,the Foreign. Funds. There
is a general opinion that the former will continue
.to improve ;- especially as so many of the Foreign
:speculations, which promised vast profits, have
turned out to be ruinous. The great source of
confidence on the part of those who anticipate
a further advance in the English funds, is the
persuasion that the peace of Europe rests on
a secure foundation. South America has
ceased to be a bugbear ; and the assurances
given to the Shipowners by Mr. Catmint? and
Mr. Huskisson, that the maritime' preparations
of France had been greatly exaggerated, appear
to have removed every graund of alarm. French
Rentes were yesterday bought in our Market at
90, and the Scrip has advanced to I:}' premium.
The Colombian. Bonds advanced.l per cent., and
the other foreign securities generally (except the
Spanish) appear to be rising In price. In the
present state of things, however, the speculators
scarcely find it worth their. while to go to the ex-
pence of Expresies, and it was understoOd that
none arrived in the course of yesterday from Paris.

the sequestration on the property of the Catholic
Greeks to be removed, and this too in language
of the most insolent description. It would ap:
pear from the letter, that in the Case of one of
'the islands, the French had actually had recourse
to force in support of their pretensions. Our
Catholic brethren in-ireland,„who dislike paying
Tithes or Taxes, now know to whom they can
apply. if the French have a right to protect
the Catholics in Greece, they must have a right
'to protect them also in Ireland.—Nothing can be
more infamous than this attempt of the French to

to take the part of the Turks. The time was
when such conduct as the above would have been
noticed by our Government.

0111.111 Sn pttEs.:l
The ilionlicor of Sunday contains an accoun
of the submission of Majorca, and, we suppose,
of all the Balearic Isles, to the absolute Govern-
ment of Ferdinand, through the intervention of a
French squadron. Pozzo di 13orgo has come, it
is said, to :Madrid, to treat for the cession of
these islands, or the most extensive of them, to
Russia, that 'ambitious Power wishing to obtain
a permanent :footing irt. Middle Europe, and
a port in the Mediterraneaa. What does Alex-
ander offer in return for the grant ? His armed.
hordes, probably, to coerce, if necessary, the
tyrant's discontented subjects. Money, which
Ferdinand now wants, he has none ; the Auto-
crat was obliged to supply his own neCessitiesvy
a lean in this country. The systs,m of terror is
in appalling operation in Spain. Moro than 20
persons, Members of the Contitutional Munici-
pality, have been placed under surveillance. The
list commences with the name of the Marquis
of Santa Cruz, and includes the Count de No-
blessas and many other distinguished indivi-
duals. Thi, is only, we suppose, the first step
agoinst the proscribed; other measures are to
follow. The AlOniteur has accounts from Gib-
raltar to tho 6th, which are to be received with
caution ; and as a proof of the feelings of the Go-
vernment of this country towards the unfortunate
exiles, we should .be sorry to think true, they
state that the Spanish emigrants had all, withth.
'exception of General Alava, received orders to
leave the place in 24 hours, and that the new
Consul. appointed by the absolute .Government
had arrived, and entered on his office, while the
agentunder the Constitutional system had quitted,
with all his family. Gibraltar may be crowded,

FOR THE SUN.

SPANISH COLONIES.
Ma. EDITOR—CouId we suppose for a moment
hat the French Ministerial Journals speak the

real sentiments of the Cabinet of the Tuileries,
then should we deprecate the tone which they
assume, as better calculated to disturb, than to
consolidate, the peace of Europe. At first, inuen-
does were all they ventured upon ; but em-
boldened, probably by their success in Spain, and
mistaking the neutrality of Great Britain, for an
avowal of weakness, they have at length proceeded
to a more open mode of warfare. The simple
fact appears to be this,, independent of other
causes of dislike, that the Holy Allies view with
particular jealousy a country, enjoying a free
constitution, and, whose enlightened population
openly reprobate the very basis of their alliance.

The liberal sentiments of our Ministers have been
too openly avowed to be misunderstood ; and
those sentiments, the only ones a British Ministry "
can entertain, naturally awaken a spirit of en-
mity in the minds of the partizans of political
bondage, or of absolute authority. But to what
will this enmity tend ? What is the ultimate ob-
ject of the implied rumour of the French Journals.?
To deter Ministers from acknowledging the hide-
' pendence of the Spanish Colonies, and securing the
immense commercial advantages, which a friendly
intercourse with those countries must procure ?
That such is their real motive; seems highly pro-
liable ; but that such a line of policy on the part
of our Cabinet is highly justifiable, is much more
certain. The paramount duty of a Ministry is
to neglect no fair and honourable means of ad-
vancing the interests of the country ; and now,
when the inclination of the continental powers,
to throw any possible impediment in the way of
British commerce is evident, it is incumbent upon
the British Government to divert this great
source of our national prosperity into another

channel.
But, say the French Journalists, by recogeiz
ing new states without the concurrence of the
mother country, and without the assent of neigh-
bouring powers, you act in opposition to equity,
and even to policy. This is surely strange doc-
trine ; and comes with a very ill grace from a
French Journalist. Was it, we may ask, with
the concurrence of Great Britain, that France,
that Spain, that Holland, embraced the cause of
the Americans, when acting in open . rebellion
against their mother country ? Before these con-
scientious and prudent politicians condemn the
conduct of any Cabinet, let them reflect, upon
the line of policy pursued by their own Cabinets,
under circumstances precisely similar, end let
them cease to uphold a doctrine with which their
own political conduct has never accorded.
We will readily concede to. the French jonr.
nalist that the Holy' Mlles nreconsistent in their
views, and in their plans of keeping down the
spirit of independence by force of arms. It is
not their inclination, but their ability that we
doubt, in the present instance. It is much easier
for them to carry their armies from one end of
the Continent to the other than to transport them
across the Atlantic. Moref especially, if they
have to contend against the naval power of Great
Britain. The task of subduing distant colonies is
one of difficult execution. If England could not
reduce the Americans—nor Buonaparte, in the
plenitude of ,his power, subdue the negroes of
St. Domingo,. we are justified in considering any
similar attempt as equally uncertain of success.—
The Holy Allies may, it is true, bend their aid
to the mother country, but whether this aid will
prove as efficacious us the Etoile seems to imagine,
may be very reasonably doubled. They would
find many difficulties in their way. We ima-
gine that the heats of a tropical climate, might
prove no less fatal to the troops of some of the
Holy Allies, than did the frosts of Russia to the
forces of Buonaparte.
We are next recommended not to be hastily
deceived by the hope of commercial advantages,
and seriously asked if there are not in the great
States of the old world, minds more cool, that
reflect on objects of such general interest. The
success that has hitherto attended the commer-
cial speculations of British merchants, proved by
the importance which this commerce has, obtained,
will, we trust, suffice to quiet the well meant ap..
prehensions of the Dade- upon this matter : and
we thank it for, the kind interest it seems to take
in the welfare of our. Merchants. As to the
question that is put to us, we can answer it with-
out the least hesitation. We are well aware that
there are, indeed, wise heads enough among our
friendly neighbours, who reflect upon this import-
ant. subject, and it is because we do believe that
they are, not blind to the importance of the
matter, that we rejoice at the clearsightedness of
our Ministers.
