very of soul consequent upon a sense of rectitude,
which has already acquired for him the admiration, and
will ultimately acquire for him the love of his fellow-
countrymen. And yet inuendoes have presumed to
question the solidity of those principles, the unswerv-
ing determination of that courage, and the actual per-
manency of that extraordinary alteration of policy.
Sir ROBERT PEEL'S emphatic rebuttal of those charges,
uttered on Monday night, amidst an incessant interrup-
tion of cheers, is a matter of the most lively satisfaction
to all interested in the furtherance of the free-trade
principles, inasmuch as it loaves the belligerent few no
single peg upon which to hang their imputations. The
last unstable inch of ground is struck from under their
feet ; they are now abandoned to a state of the most
powerless incertitude. Nothing could be more resolute,
or undaunted, or unprevaricating than the language of
the Premier. In allusion to the assertions which had
been made as to his insincerity, and particularly the one
imputing to him the motive of retarding the progress of
the Corn Bill, by interposing a first reading upon the
Irish Coercion measure, Sir ROBERT exclaimed—" Sir,
in answer to that statement, I will only say, without any
unnecessary boast, that I shall be prepared to give what-
ever proof may be required of the sincerity of my in-
tentions." Surely such a declaration was sufficiently
clear and decisive ! "I will not deny," however, he
eontinues, " that during the debates on the question my
opinions on the subject have undergone a change, and
it is this—that restrictions which I at first believed to be
impolitic, I now believe to be unjust !—(Cheers.)" And
nobly were those acclamations deserved ; for the sen-
tence then crowned with applause was at once a testi-
mony of the real excellence of the liberal principles
adopted, and a fresh instance of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S
moral bravery in a great political emergency—and a
bravery which is exercised in one of the noblest causes
upon which statesman ever ventured. It is this triumph
of truth which we are anxious to commemorate, and it
is to this new token of the Prime Minister's magnani-
mity we are desirous of rendering some tribute.

Madrid papers of the 21st instant have arrived. The
Gazette publishes a dispatch from the Political Chief of
Orense, dated the 17th, announcing that the expeditionary
column of the commander of the province entered the town
at eight in the evening, and that some hours after a column
of insurgents, about 700 strong, made its appearance at the

dispatch of the 18th, from the same Political Chief, states
that the insurgents, finding their attempt to be without any
chance of success, had withdrawn towards Vigo. General
CONCHA was within seven leagues of Orense. The Political
Chief of Oviedo announced, on the date of the 16th, an at-
tempt at pronuneiamiento on the part of the sergeants of the
provincial regiment of Salamanca. The attempt was unsuc•
cessful, and the sergeants were arrested.
It was reported that Corunna and Ferrol had pronounced,
but it does not appear that there is any good foundation for
the rumour. Nothing has been heard of General PriO
SA3IPER since his entry into Santiago on the 11th, and the
consequent retreat of the insurgents upon Vigo and Ponte-
vedra. On the part of the insurgents this retreat was a well
calculated and prudent movement, as at Santiago they
were in an open town, while at Vigo and Pontevedra they
were defended from attack on the land side by strong forti-
fications, and they have the sea in their rear, by means of
which they can either obtain supplies or escape.
It was feared in Madrid that EsranTErto would make his
appearance either in Galicia or the Basque Provinces, which
latter are now almost bare of troops, and place himself at the
head of the movement, and in a letter from Valladolid, received
in Madrid on the morning of the 21st, it was stated that
General Nocuenas had catered Pontevedra, with a rein-
forcement of 180 men, and that the insurgents, both there
and at 'Vigo, were daily receiving supplies Irom Portugal by
sea. Four ships cf war have been ordered to cruise off
Vigo, in order to prevent any landing, and the amho-
rities at San Sebastian have been ordered to observe
the utmost vigilance in regard to all foreign vessels,
and likewise to be very strict in examining the passports
of travellers. The guns upon the batteries facing the sea
are kept loaded, and every precaution is taken to prevent a
descent being made on the coast.
Symptoms of a revolt had manifested themselves, it was
said, both a Malaga and Carthagena, and a letter from Bar-
celona, dated 21st, states a military conspiracy bad been dis-
covered there, and a number of non-commissioned officers
arrested in consequence.
The garrison of Madrid was, reviewed on the 21st by the
Minister of War and General I'EZUELA, the new Captain-
General. All the Ministerial differences have been arranged.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The
Moniteur of that day publishes the following:—
"Yesterday the King received a deputation commissioned
to present the address voted by the English now residing at
Paris, on the occasion of the attempt of the 16tu April. The
deputation consisted of the Duke of Montrose, Lord Grey,
Lord Duck., the Right Hon. M. Ellis, Licutenant- General
Sir John Doveton, and Lieutenant-t'olonel Sanndersou. The
King expressed his sense of the step they had adopted, and
requested them to convey his thanks to the subscribers of the
address."
His MAJESTY addressed the deputation in English, and
was visibly much affected. His MAJESIY, in the course of
his address, alluded to the hospitality that had been shown
to him in England, and to the cordial reception he had met
with from all classes in that country, which could never be
effaced from his heart and memory. The satisfaction of the
gentlemen who presented the address was much increased by
the following circumstance :--His MAJESTY having noticed
that the QUEEN'S name was included in the address, had
commanded the aide-de-camp in waiting to repair to her
MAJESTY, and make this known to her. The QUEEN gra-
ciously condescended to appear, and the committee were
presented to her by the KING, individually. After the reply
of the KING, her MAJESTY addressed the committee, ex-
pressing to them, in the most feeling manner, the high grati-
fication that she derived from the cordial sentiments con-
tained in the address.
The Queen of the Fitaxen entered her 65th year on
Sunday.
According to the Constitutionnel, the basis of a new com-
mercial convention had been agreed on between France and
Russia, the object being to introduce modifications in their
respective tariffs.
In the Chamber of Deputies the debate on the Bordeaux
and Cette Railway Bill was resumed on Monday, and had
not been brought to a conclusion when the post left.
The Journal des Delults states that the Parliamentary ses-
sion is at present so far advanced, that it will be impossible
that the nineteen Bills before the Chamber of Deputies can
be passed. "It is probable," adds the Debats, " that the
Chamber may vote nine projects of law—viz., the Western
Railroad Bill, which is on the order of the day, and on which
the discussion may commence on Tuesday next; the Dijon
and Mulhausen Railroad Bill, which is likewise on the orders
of the day; the extraordinary and supplementary credits;
the extraordinary credits of Algeria; the fortifications of
Havre; the improvement of the ports of France; the Bit
relating to political refugees; and, in fine, the definitive re-
gulation of the public accounts. The report on the budget
of expenses will not be distributed to the Chambers until
Wednesday or Thursday, the 30th of April. It is probable
that at the same period the Chamber will be summoned to
to fix the last day for the conclusion of the session."
IBRAHIM PACKA was received by the KING and Royal
Family, at the Tuileries, at one o'clock on Monday. Four
carriages of the Court conducted the Turkish Ambassador
and his suite. The Turkish Ambassador presented IBRAHIM,
as he is not considered as a a prince of the blood, but as a
Pacha, vassal of Turkey. It is said that InnAmm feels highly
flattered by being lodged in the Elysee Bourbon, the favourite
Palace of Napoleon, and being permitted to repose in the
Emperor's bed.

Lord and Lady PALMERSTON were to leave Paris on Tues-
day morning.
