It is stated, in a letter from Lisbon, that Ad-
miral PARKER has been recalled, and that he
is to be succeeded by Admiral GAGE. The
report of this change had excited great interest
of Lisbon, where Admiral PARKER is, from
the countenance which he is supposed to have
given to the Aliguelite party, very unpopular.
No notice of the reported change has, however,
transpired here in any official quarter.

The apparent inaction of General SAARS-
FIELD is attributed, in the Bayonne Corres-
pondence of a Ilorning Paper, to the refusal
of some of his officers to act against the Carlists,
except upon a guarantee of considerable amelio-
rations in the present system of government. It
is not improbable that a feeling of this kind may
have been manifested by some of the officers of
SAARSFIELD'S army ; but it is only fair to
suppose that SAARSFIELD himself may have
encouraged such a manifestation. The conduct
of this General throughout the revolutionary war
justifies a belief that he would not hesitate to
avail himself of a favourable opportunity to
establish a Constitution in Spain, and it is not
improbable that his inaction proceeds less from
the want of means to cope with the Carlists
than from a desire to compel the QUEEN
REGENT to revoke her manifesto, and promise
a convocation of the Cortes for the purp3se of
establishing a Constitution, in which all that
was good in the Constitution of 1812 might
be retained, without those extreme points which
raised an opposition to it among moderate men
throughout the country. It will be remembered
that the Revolution which led to the Govern-
ment of the Cortes came from the military, and

there is no extravagance in supposing that they
are now preparing a similar movement. In
countries where free institutions exist, the in-
terference of the military is to be regretted, but
in a country like Spain, where the only educated
persons who have the power of putting down
the abominations of a bigotted and persecuting
priesthood are the officers of the army, we
should rejoice at any manifestation by the
military of a desire to bring about a change of
system.

We shall, on an early day, give an account o

(M. stands for 111inisterial. L. for Legitimatist, or Carlisi
Lib. for Liberal.)

We have received from a Paris correspond en
the subjoined list of the newspapers published
in the French provinces. They amount in
number to 200, of which about one-fourth have
no political character, and may be considered as
mere local vehicles for advertisements, and ac-
counts of the state of markets. The remaining
147, however, are all political, and are thus
divided :—Ministerial 52, Legitirnatist 36, Libe-
ral 59 ; giving to the Czalist and Liberal pro-
vincial press a majority of nearly two to one
over the Ministerial prints. This numerical
preponderance is very important, considering the
difference that exists between newspapers in this
country and in France. In England, newspapers
are sometimes started as mere mercantile spe-
culations, and the politics are regulated by
caprice or chance ; so that, although as a whole
the newspaper press in England may be fairly
taken as the barometer of public opinion, there
are exceptions to the rule, which do not exist
in France. In that country, a newspaper
is always started by a party for political pur-
poses, and as it is sustained (in the provinces
at least) by none of the intrinsic charms of a
Newspaper as to arrangement, agreeableness of
contents, or outlay for news, which characterize
our own Provincial Press, it depends entirely
on the strength of the political principles which
it advocates for its support. It appears, there-
fore, that in the French provinces at this moment,
taking the press as the indication of political
feeling, the opposition to the juste milieu
system is in the proportion of 2 to 1, and we
are warranted in supposing, that if any circum-
stance were to occur to render an union between
the Liberals and the Carlists possible, the juste
milieu system could not exist a single day.
Such an union is not so impossible as some
persons imagine. The liberal press in the
provinces sends forth 59 papers, the Carlist
only 36. Assuming, therefore, that the in-
fluential portion of the population is repre-
sented by those papers, the Liberals have a
majority of five to three, and knowing that when
they should have made use of the Carlists as in-
strutnents to overturn the Ministry they would find
little difficulty in keeping them down, strengthened
as they would be by a large portion of the juste
tnilieu, which would always adhere to the
stronger side, the Liberals might not hesitate to
adopt the old maxim of " the end sanctifies the
means."

make some more minute conclusions than we
are able to do from the paper before us, which,
however, as a statistical authority, must interest
such of our readers as take an interest in French
