ST. JEAN DE Luz, APRIL 7. The army
marches in three divisions—one upon Tolosa,
direct for Madrid, one upon Pampeluna, and
another upon St. Sebastian."

The Frencb Papers of Thursday have also
arrived, The. /11ot:deur contains a Royal Ordi-
nance dismissing the Mayor of Brest from his
office, for the Proclamation in which he attacked
the conduct of the Swiss Guard. The Portu-
guese Ambassador is said to have left Paris,
having received an order from his Government to
ask for his pasports as soon as the French should
declare war against Spain—his Excellency very
properly considered the Duke of Angouleme's
proclamation as such declaration of war. Letters
from Perpignan, quoted in the Constitutionnel,
state, that Saguntum, the fort of Murviedro, had
been retaken by the Constitutionalists.

The French demi-official Paper, the Journal
des Dkbals, quotes the whole of our Second Edi-
two of the 4th inst., in which we announced
that the French Declaration had been received
in Loudon,--that the French, Government had
made urgent representations to our Cabinet on
the subject of privateering,—and that there was
of
no truth in the then prevalent report that the King
had SPAIN written a letter to Louis XVII[.
deprecating the commencement of hostilities.—
On the second of these topics, relating to the
representations of France, respecting
privateer-
ill, the Journal des &buts subjoins the follow-
, ing important note
We
can give positive assurances that the
propositions al.
iis
hided to by Tut Su sr, were so framed as to be perfectly con-
tent with the dignity of the French Government, and that
they have for their sole object measures which are still more
rondurive to the common interests of the commercial nations of
Rurope than to the Particular interests of France."

Communications to be made to Parliament on

tained in the Second Edition of Tut SUN of the

pc'veq is impossible. Cardinal Spina, who ap-
is ared at Vienna as the Pope's Plenipotentiary,
of4ire4dy selected for his successor as Secretary

fetters
the from Naples say, that the King of
Wo Sic:U.les is not expected to return to his

dominions for some time. It appears, on the
contrary, from letters written by persons in
his suite, that his Majesty intends to re-
main the whole summer in Germany, and
that he will take the waters at Carlshac.—
The latest accounts from Venice (to the 26th of
March) state that the negociation between Jus-
suf Pacha and General Colocotroni, for the ca-
pitulation of Patras, were far advanced, and that
the surrender of both Patras and Lepanto to the
Greeks may be depended upon if the Turks do
not receive any succour by the Ist of April.
" ST. PETERSBURGIE, MARCIL 18.—No branch
of manufacture has made so much progress in
Russia as that of woollen clothes, especially those
of the inferior and middling,qualities. Not only
are the army and the navy clothed in cloths of
Russian manufacture, but the government has every
year at its disposal an excess of some millions of
yards, which it cannot purchase. In order to pro-
mote the manufacture of cloths of a fine quality,
his Majesty has just ordered the establish-
ment of a manufactory at Moscow, for the
dyeing and preparation of cloths, which is di-
sided into three sections, and contains one di-
vi;ion appropriated to the construction of such
machines as are most approved in Europe.
One hundred and fifty pupils, of all ranks
and conditions, will be admitted to this institu-
tion. Two hundred and fifty rubles are to be
paid annually (besides their clothing) ; all the
other expences to be defrayed by Govern-
ment. The terms of apprenticeship is two years,
and the duration of the establishment is fixed
for six years, by the end of which time, it
is hoped, that it will have qualified a consider-
able number of peasants to be at the head of ma-
nufactories, which, being opened over the whole
Empire, will diffuse the true principles, and the
most approved practice, of their art. An able
Minister is placed at the head of each section,
and the general direction is confided to M. Ileuten,
counsellor of manufactures."

On Monday night the documents and papers
connected with the late important negociations
with Foreign Powers, on the subject of the war
between France and Spain, will be laid before
Parliament. The production of the documents
will be accompanied with an exposition of
the conduct of Ministers, and of the principles
which they have taken for their guide, in
the delicate and diff►cult circumstances in
which they have been placed by the recent mo-
mentous transactions on the Continent.--On
Monday night it is probable that Ministers will
also be again closely pressed on the subject of
the engagements which this country is under
with reference to the maintenance of the Bounnom
Family on the Throne of France,—and not only
as respects positive, engagements, but as respects
the present dispositions and probable policy of the
British Cabinet, if circumstances should arise
to place the security of the Bourbon dynasty in
jeopardy.
As to the past conduct of Ministers, in all the
transactions and negociations with which the
promised documents are connected, they cer-
tainly come before Parliament and the Country
under this peculiarly unfavourable and disadvan-
tageous circumstance, that their efforts to pre-
serve the peace of Europe have been unsuccessful.
However honest and sincere, however strenuous
or persevering may have been their exertions
to counteract the influence of violent councils,
and to prevent the execution of dangerous,
desperate and unjust projects, by some of
the Powers with whom this country is iu
alliance, still it is impossible for them
wholly to remove the prejudice created by
the notoriety of their failure, or wholly to
satisfy and conciliate minds which are irritated
by the mortifying and humiliating convic-
tion that in their bands, whatever may have
been the real cause of their inefficacy, the in-
fluence, the exhortations, and even the remon-
str:►nces of Great Britain, have been employed
in vain.

If even the Friends and Supporters of Ministers
will find it difficult entirely to escape from the
prepossession created by the unfavourable termi-
nation of the negociations, we may rest assured that
there will not be wanting some amongst their politi-
cal adversaries, who will tenaciously cling to that
unfortunate point alone, and who, overlooking all
the considerations of prudence or of policy, which
may have induced, Ministers either to preserve a
tone of moderation during the progress of the
discussions, or to abstain from plunging the coun-
try as a principal into the contest at their close,
will not fail to attribute their want of success to
the timidity and even to the insincerity of their
language, if they do not go so far as to charge
them with a flagitious and wilful sacrifice of the
honour and dignity of the nation.
We trust that Ministers, however, have it in
their power to make out such a justification of

themselves, as will, when the heat and passion
of the moment have subsided, eventually sa-
tisfy all cool and impartial persons, not only
of the propriety of all the steps which they
have actually adopted with a view to the
prevention of a_ war, but also of the wisdom
and justice of _the considerations by which
they have been influenced, when they re-
solved on abstaining from further measures
after they had ascertained that the rupture be-
tween France and Spain was inevitable. This
may be regarded as another peculiarly disadvan-
tageous circumstance attending the predicament in
which Ministers are placed,that at the conclusion of
an unsuccessful negociation, they have to justify
themselves not only for what they have clone,
but for what they have not done ; and that even
although they should triumphantly establish the
propriety of the former, they are precluded
by the nature of things from making that irre-
sistible appeal to facts which could alone silence
and abash the pertinacity of hostility and reproach
for the latter.

But while we are thus desirous of bespeaking
the candid and dispassionate judgment of the Pub-
lic in favour of the conduct of Ministers, we cannot
refrain from expressing a hope that no part of
their justification will be made to rest on any
degree of reliance which they may have been
induced to place in the good faith or Professions
of moderation on the part of France. In spite
of all the unprincipled endeavours which have
been made by a few degenerate Englishmen
to identify the cause of Spain with that of
an alleged general conspiracy against all
existing Governments and Institutions, and
against Religion, throughout Europe, the Public
can never forget the high and spontaneous testi-
mony which Lord LIVERPOOL gave in favour of
the Spanish Revolution at the opening of the
Session of Parliament. The French Govern-
ment, it is true, has been loud in its accusations
of that Nation which it had marked out for sub-
jugation ; but its accusations have been hitherto
unsupported even by a shadow of proof. The
organs of a violent and tyrannical French party
have exhausted every term of abuse and re-
proach in their virulent efforts to stigmatise men
whom they have determined to destroy. Their
anti-British coadjutors in this country have la-
boured to excite against the Spaniards those
very feelings which as Englishmen ought to
stimulate us most warmly to offer them our
friendship and assistance.----But,

Amidst all -the exclamations and the ar-
tifices of perfidious violence and malignity,
the unimpeachable and the authoritative decla-
ration of Lord LivEn POO r.,---the unequivocal,
unsolicited, unanswered, and unanswerable evi-
dence which he gave before his country and the
world in favour of the insulted and oppressed
Spaniards, has blazed as the light of truth itself
before the eyes of the English people,—has never,
even fora moment, been obscured by the vile fab-
rications with which the enemies of Spain have
sought to extinguish its authority,—and has
effectually preserved the British Nation from
being misled by the delusive pretensions and in-
terested statements of those who would not hesi-
tate to place their country in a position equally
incompatible with its own honour and interests,
and with its duty to civilized socie.ty.
We shall resume this subject in our next.

AFFAIR OF HONOUR.--A Meeting has taken
place between Lieut.-Colonel Cll---RCII—LL, late

fire of his antagonist, but did not return it. The
cause of quarrel is supposed to be of a domestic
nature.
