PARIS PAP EM.

• I.Frm the ConstitutiovaLl
PARIII .ttle• Memorial Vordelois
there ice the following rather curious -article on
•
the affairs of Spain :
" Manntni• Dec,: 1 L—The Royalists are ox-
tremely. dissatisfied. with. the composition of the
prPSetit. Ministry. They.. •pretend that Casa-
rojo is ft Freeniason, Ileriedia a Liberal and an
Afraneesacla, Salazar a Commiiero, and Cruz a
PaNtelaro, It is othle4that the King wished:to
dissolve this Ministry twenty-four hours lifter its
formation, but that the diplomatic; hod y suc-
ceeded in dissuading him from it. lt is said also,
that a preeicher has spoken from the pulpit
against the preaent Ministers ; but this last news
is spread by the Liberals, who have also propa-
-.gated the report, that more then 100 persons
int-
vriaoited for political offences have been massit-
credby the people of Grenada. The diplomatic
coups is such deceived if it thinks •that it can
establish a liberal administration in Spain. There
is no medium ;.'the puniest are
.so opposite, that
there never can exist the slightest fusion between
them. If the zealous servants of the King are
surfeited with insulta, there may readily ensue a
viva war, such us. is desired by tho Liberal. party,
Which,.knowing its own weakness and its present
prostration, has' no other means to accomplish its
bbject than to resort to intrigue to establish de-
mocracy, while it Appears to love the Royal Co.
vernmeot with a liberal administration.
" This party well knows, that in rendering the
'King liberal it takes away the affection of the
clergy and the people, whoure his natural supports.
But if the wish is to consolidate the Throne, thee
Government must be -re-established in all things
as it was previously to the Revolution, because
the time for making reforms has not yet arrived.
The principal object of the Cabinets of Europe
bas been to consolidate the Royal power, but it
(Tees not belong_ to them to effect our happiness."
The Otwle of Brussels contains, on the Order
of Malta, an article from a correspondent, whirh
concludes. thus : " It is certain that the Order
will be re-established, the decision of the Mo-
narchs is no longer doubtful On this point ;
changes Will be made in its ancient, that it may
more easily recruit devoted adherents ; however,
a.,rairernentr still remain to be taken to insure,
it a sovereignty. This last measure will he ac-
complished in the course of the year 18'24, which
will become the era whence we will date the re.
establishment of the Order of St. John of Jeru-
salem. This we do not fear to affirm." .
Congo, Nov. 1b..--The Pacha of Scutari has not yet aban-
doned his enterprise 'against Missolonghl ; nmrtheless, the
Greeks have given him several cheeks. Having advanced upon
the rear of the Pacha, while he was marching towards Etolia,
the Greeks occupied the mountains which separate Acarnania
from. Etolia; .after that, they made several movements, the re-
sult of which has been, that the communications of the Pacha
with the fortresses of Arta and Prevesa have been completely
cut oil: A train of artillery, which the Pacha wiehed to convey
into Etolia, and which was destined for the siege of Miss°,
longhi, together with its escort, has fallen into the hands of the
nreeks—they also took possession of an immense quantity of
ammunition. The corps of Turkish troops, commanded by
Omer Vrione, and which was to have joined the ',ache of Scu-
tari, has been completely defeated.

BARCU9NA, DEC. 11.---The following is the
text or the mandament addressed by the Bishop
of Barcelona to the priests of his diocese, to
which We before alluded :
" To prevent the evils which mistaken zeal or the impru-
dence of ,certain men may occasion, I order and command—
" 1. That no priest, secular or regular, whatever may be his
Maas, degree, or dignity, do introduce into his sermons politi-
cal topics or .ttuestions, as so doing is prohibited by several
top] ordinances.
"2. That no priest do employ in his sermons any expree-
filOrle which may tend, directly or indirectly, to trouble public
order, to provoke diSohedience to the King our Lord; to foment
dissension, resentment, hatred, or vengeance.
" 3. If any priest contravene the two preceding regulations,
he shall not only be deprived of the faculty of preaching, but
shall be besides condemned to a suspension, of longer or shorter
duration, according to the degree of malice or imprudence in
the expressions he may have used.
" it is not to be presumed, that by those regulations I wish
to limit that evangelic liberty which belongs to the Christian
preacher. God forbid that 1 should have such a thought.
Neither will I take any step on vague reports, and without the
full ascertainment of fads. lam aware that there are ears so
delicate as to consider as instigating to hatred and vengeance
every expression which may be directed, not against persons,
but against the errors and vices which govern them.
" This will be to meet further reason to proceed with great
circumspection in the confidence that the Lord will guide me,
in reeompence for my earnest desire to succeed, and to contri-
bute to the, general good. May it please the Lord to inspire
with a holy zeal the eloquence of all preachers, end to prepere
by a true fidelity the hearts of all the faithful to hear with
profit the words which God hitnself tremenits by the organ of
Ilia lifinistrs! •

" The Curates, 'Episcopal 'AdministiatOrs, Regents, and all
other superiors, shall rear! this circular to their communithat,
and to all sicolar and regular, within their pan>.
chial to.) shall inform moot their having so done.
