PAPER IN LONDON.

gentleman in support of the prt )position, is one of the
most rich in thought, varied in...expression, and apposite
in illustration, of any which it has been our fortune to
meet with among the reported speeches of modern
legislators.. It certainly exceeds any effort of mind which
has yet been displayed in the Reformed Housc of Com-
mons. The orator descanted. learnedly and eloquently on
the justice, the sound policy, the natural consequences,
and the imperative necessity of the measure. Nothing
could be finer than h3s distinction between the effect-
ing of reforms and the recognition of principles—than
his repudiation of the usual mockery of expediency
and delay, when the question under consideration was
not the abolition of :in abuse, but the recognition of
a principle. M. M. DE. LA ROSA opposed the measure
in a speech as weak, sus contemptible, and as unprinci-
pled, as his opponent's abounded in strength, energy,
and truth. He talked of the obvious truth of the
principles under discuusion—of their being already re-
cognized as self evident in the ancient laws and customs
of the kingdom—of the it sacredness—of the honesty
of himself and his colleagues—of the inappropriate-
ness of the time chosen for discussing the merits of
the.new Charter—of its; inexpediency at the present
moment, and with wonderful consistency voted for its
rejection. The other Ministers were evidently ashamed
of the task they were called upon to perform. They
held their peace, and so far they acted with
discretion. But M. M. DE LA ROSA spoke
what he must have mown not to be true,
when he stated that the recognition of the
principles, imperfectly as they are developed in the
new Bill of Rights, formed any part of the ancient
constitution of the kingdom of Spain. He must have
known that personal liberty was never known in Spain,
from the expulsion of the Moors till the abolition of
the Infernal Tribunal of the Dominican, and Jesuit
Monks, under the impious denomination of a Holy
Inquisition. As to the old metaphysical jargon, about
the seeds of these principles being scattered here and
there =wig old institutions, it may be answered by
observing, that the previous existence of the materials
of a building is no argument against the necessity of
its construction in a regular form, but the contrary.
The obviousness, the justice, and the previous ap-
proval by the Government of Spain, of the articles of
the new charter—truisms, as M. M. DE LA ROSA
called them--was a poor excuse for voting against
them in an embodied and tangible shape. After a very
animated and very able debate, the Chamber divided
on the question, whether or not the Bill of Rights
as a whole should be adopted, when the Ministry
were left in a minority of thirty-three, the numbers
being—

For the adoption of the Bill of Rights
Against it (including Ministers) 3B
Majority —33
The Bill was then discussed in detail. On the first
article being read, which guarantees individual liberty,
and enacts that no Spaniard shall be compelled to do
anything not enjoined by the laws, two divisions
took place ; on the first the Ministers were de-
feated by an overwhelming majority, the numbers
being ninety-five to two, and on the second the num-
bers were even, so that by a skilful manoeuvre the
Ministers managed to throw aside the article, by voting
it unnecessary. The discussion on the bill is there-
fore only yet begun, but there is no doubt but that
DB LA ROSA, and his colleagues, will contrive to
strangle it. They are as unpopular as they can be,
and the rejection of this measure will render them the
absolute abhorrence of all the liberal men, both in
Spain, France, and England.

We have received by express the whole of the Paris
Papers of Tuesday, together with private intelligence
from Bayonne of the sth inst. They contain no do-
mestic news of any importance, being principally
filled with rumours respecting the movements of the
Opposing armies in Spain, for the particulars of which
we refer to our extracts from the French journals.
Our Bayonne communication states that Don
CARLOS has bethought himself of creating mi-
litary Orders of Knighthood, with which to sate
the ambition of his ragged followers, who, of
course, will be insensible to the pangs of
hunger and thirst, and the fatigues of midnight
flight, when their brave bosoms are adorned with a
quarter of a yard of sixpenny ribbon ! We have
not heard by what name the new order of Knights are
to be distinguished: if they are not yet provided with an
appellation we should recommend them to be called
Knight's of the most Primitive order of the Shirtless
Host.

POISONING FISH...In reference to a late occur-
rence in the water in the interior of St. James's Park, it may
be useful to state that the throwing of anything into the water
of any preserve, pond, &c., to intoxicate or destroy the fish,
is an indictable offence, and the party or parties convicted are
liable to transportation.
