of the 9th, the inhabitants of Orbaycette, in tho Spanish
territory, have just mane

Madrid ionrnals of the sth inst. have reached

millions of reals on the Stamp duties. The law

.4..mong the curious rumours circulated in
r.,:tadrid, is One of the discovery of a plot to carry
off the young QUEEN into France, of which
the EX-REGENT was stated to be cognizant.
We trust, for the sake of the QUEEN herself,
that no such plot will ever be put in execution,
lest Spain should make the discovery that
she could do without her Monarch, now that
she has got rid of the old institutions characteris-
tic of monarchy. The young QUEEN'S friends
had better leave her where she is. A better
guardian she cannot have than ARGUELLES ; a
worse one is not to be found than the wife of
Kurroz, who now makes such a noise in France.
Some people do not know when themselves and
their friends are- well enough. The ex-Regent
is of the number if she seek to remove her august
daughter from the protection of her best friends.
Fifty-eight alcades, out of sixty alcades, composing

account of one of the first Judges ordering the release

As the Madrid Government in its late decrees, issued
by virtue of a Bill passed the Cortes, had imposed taxes,
and ordered the Basque Provinces to supply their quota
of men for the army, which decrees are in-direct contra-
diction to the fiteros, a serious misunderstanding, if not a
collision, is anticipated between the Central Executive
and the Local Juntas. .

SUMMARY OF

AND
Vut)lir Opinion,

" Who runs may read."

I'ON.EIG-N.

The President of 'ihe United States has rejected the
Bank Bill passed, by the House of Representatives and
the Senate. This is stretching the prerogative of the
Supreme Power in the State to an extent which would
be clan-aerous in England. No British Sovereign would
Ine':a the odium of vetoing so popular a measure.
An attempt was made on Monday, by a man named
Papart, to assassinate one of the sons of the King of
• the French. Thank God the Princes escaped.
Serious disturbances have taken place at Clermont, in
Auverge, in opposition to the taking of the Census.
The people fired upon the soldiers, 17 of whom they
killed or wounded. .

Cries of " Down with Louis Philippe—down with
Guizot !" were heard in several districts of Paris on
Siinday night. Another revolutionary attempt was
dreaded.

PUBLIC -OPXNXON.
The Times, aware of the mischief which Tory writers
and a Tory Lord Chancellor have done to their cause in
Ireland, is now on a new tack. The following specimen
from ,this versatile journal shows which way the wind
blows :—" Apart from the misrepresentations of two
servile London prints, which, we know, can produce
sufficient tubs for their still continuing to be the vehicles
of Whig calumny, the conviction that Sir Robert Peel
will govern Ireland in such a spirit of impartial and
_ .

evenhanded justice as bids fair to paralyze paity rancour
without disparaging the just rights of any portion of the
community, is very universally entertained even in circles
not gtherivise favourable to a ConservatiVe Ministry. The
vile figment that Sir Robert's Irish Administration will
adopt a system of unprincipled sycophancy towards the
Orangemen, and plane the Roman Catholic millions under

a rampant military despotism, is as thoroughly scouted
in every intelligent quarter, as the opposite fiction
that the Right Hon. Baronet will seek to propitiate
the Romanists by unworthy conciliations, and will
treat the Protestants with supercilious neglect. Stuff
like this is believed by nobody. Even the most heated
partisans on both sides are ashamed to identify them-
selves with such a suspicion in either of its extremes.
O'Connell himself can hardly muster face for it ; and we
arc quite sure that the most devoted followers of Sir
Harcourt Lees, who in his day was certainly no very
moderate symbol of Protestantism, do really reject it
with as much contempt as they now feel for the stupid
and senseless commemorations of the Boyne engagement.
•or the nursery bugbear of the Gunpowder Plot. Nay,
the idea that the new 11.1inistry—(known as they
are to be isreconcileably hostile to repeal, and
determined to maintain the Irish Protestant church
as firmly and inoffensively as possible)—Will exercise
any other favouritism than that strictly fair and consti-
tutional sort which, wholly irrespective of religious opi-
nim, they are solemnly sworn to extend to the friends of
British connexion in preference to its foes, is beginning
to be derided by the Roman Catholic priesthood them-
selves. The symptoms of this are highly encouraging.
According to the best authenticated accounts, O'Connell's
present efforts to spread the flames of repeal for the
visionary purpose of consuming the Conservative Go-
vernment are, for the most part, an egregious failure. His
combustions projectiles, though scattered far and near,
seem to light among the people like balls of damp wadding.
The Romish clergy have, in many places, shown them-
selves to be very cool Repealers after all. Long-cherished
prejudices, how unreasonable soever, cannot be got rid of
in a few days. For our part, we believe those prejudices to
exist in a much less degree than is commonly repre-
sented; yet admitting that we under calculate their
strength, we feel confident that when the Irish people of
all creeds find themselves ruled by an honest Govern-
ment, determined that Ephraim shall have no just occa-
sion to envy Judah, nor Judah to vex Ephraim,—a de-
termination, the reality and advantage of which they will
soon appreciate,—the party animosities which have so
long distracted and impoverished them, will, at no very
distant period, be superseded by a better state of things.
The Chronicle, on the supposition that Parliament may
be prorogued without a full consideration of the Corn
and provision laws, makes the following remarks :—For
this specific object was the present Parliament called.
It has chosen to indulge in a party diversion. The con-
dition of the people and the recommendation of the So-
vereign have been postponed to the settlement of those
claims upon place and power which are the great objects
of factious combination. But the partizanship which
seizes the first opportunity for itself, need not deny
any opportunity to the people. It has done its own
work. The prize is in its pocket. The physician has
his fee. Is it honest, now, to withhold the prescrip-
tion ? However selfish, low-minded, and anti-patrio-
tic, the previous conditior.s might be, they have all
been complied with. Office was desired, and office has
been bestowed. The Whigs, it was urged; must be
ousted before anything can be done, and the Whigs are
ousted. What more would they have ? A. five months'
holiday before one night's attention is bestowed upon the
multitudes whose means of daily subsistence are in peril.
We really think that is rather too much. But they can
take it, and probably they will take it, if there bo no in-
terposition. We are under an authority that cares
as little for reason or decency as it cares for the people.
The landlord's majority, with its pliant leader in the
Commons, its Buckingham and Knatchbull in the Ca-
binet, and its Richmond over the Cabinet, has made its
demonstration, achieved its position, exalted the prero-
gative of King Rent over that of Queen Victoria,
and is now disposed to take to the fields and preserves
for recreation. The exhibition will be more gross '
and disgusting than any similar procedure by which a
nation has ever been insulted, but it is not the less
likely. It may be expected, unless timely means of
counteraction be adopted., The Royal prerogative can
hold Parliament together, and may dcs so with the
greatest propriety for the purpose stated in the Man-
chester memorial. The interference is only a negative
one. Parliament cannot prorogue itself. It only rises
by the fiat of the Sovereign. And what better reasons
can there be for withholding that than the distresses and
apprehensions of millions, coupled with the fact that no
attention whatever has yet been paid to the measures for
considering which this Parliament was convoked by the
Sovereign ? Let the people, then, become her Majesty's
advisers.

The Morning Herald, descanting on the same subject,
thus
embarked in a most factious career of opposition to Sir
ulcaotinotenm :_ptr
Tuhsley tr
Robert Peel's Administration ; but happily
its virulence
and extreme hostility will neutralise its mischievous ob-
ject, and disgust all but those whose support could only
injure any cause to which they might attach themselves.
The latest device of this opposition is a requisition to the
Mayor of Manchester, requesting that authority " to
call a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough,
for the purpose of considering the present distressed
state of the population. The Mayor has accordingly
appointed Thursday for an assemblage of the
idle, the discontented, the violent; and the un-
employed portion of the population over which he
presides, and on that day doubtless the usual
twaddle of the League will he emitted, and accompanied
by big words, loud and unmeanin threats, much gesti-
culation, and " shouts of applause." But will the wealth,
the respectability, the moderation, and the education of
the great cotton metropolis be there assembled ? We
venture to predict they will not.; they will be pursuing
their ordinary avocations in their warehouses, their
counting* houses, and their shops ; whatever may be
their opinions on fre., trade or the Cora-laws, they will
have too much respect for themselves to march through
Coventry with the League. They too highly appreciate
the value of peace and quietness to aid in again convert-
