BUENOS AYRES AND BRAZIL PAPERS

BCENOS AYRES, JULY 27.—We stated, in a former
rnimb,r, that a revolutionary movement had taken place in
the country districts of the province of Cordova, headed
by the Commandant Castillo. It at first threatened serious
consequences, the malcontents having mustered nearly SOO
men. They have, however, been entirely put down by the
forces under the command of the Governor of Cordova
(Reinate). Several of the chiefs belonging to the revolu-
tionists were taken and shot. Among them was Com-
mandant Arredendo.
There is no recent intelligence from the other provinces
of the interior, with the exception of Santa Fe. A bul-
letin has been published from the Governor of that pro-
vince, Estanislan Lopez, dated the 10th inst., stating that
with 200 Santafecinoes and 34 Abifones (Indians), he bad,
on the 2d, succeeded in surprising a body of hostile In-
dians in their tolderius ; that be had killed 42 of their
warriors, taken four prisoners, and that only one escaped ;
besides which he had recaptured from them eight white
women, and taken nearly 200 Indian women, of all age.,
the whole of their horses, two flocks of sheep, and a small
quantity of stock cattle. From the report of the captives,
the rest of the Indians had gone to the southward, under
the command of their cacique Ambrosio, upon a ma-
rauding expedition.
Governor Lopez further states, that having reconnoitred
the country for a great distance in all directions, and not
finding any Indians, he bad returned to his head-quarters.
Butmos AYRES, Ana. s.—Don Victorio Gareca de
Zuniga, Minister of Finance, and Dr. Manuel Vicente de
Maza, Minister of Grace and Justice, acting ad interim
as Minister of Foreign Affairs, have assuredly tendered
their resignation.
We are at a loss to account for the delusion under which
our Governor labours— that he cannot see into the
wicked designs of his two false friends, who, while they
extol his virtues, patriotism, and services, traitorously aim
blows at his reputation.
Ana. 7.—The Governor has at length acceded to the
reiterated solicitations of Senhors Zuniga and Maza, and
accepted their resignations, as well as that of Senhor Gar-
rigos, Chief Officer of the Department of the Interior.—

-BUENOS AYRES. Auc. 3.—An address has been pub-
lished from the Governor of the province of Santiago de
Estero (Felippe Ibazra) to the inhabitants thereof, in-
viting them to join with the other provinces in the ope-
rations now going on against the hostile Indians :
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
PROVINCE OF BUENOS AYRES.

In the sitting of the 25th ult., Senhor Anchore pro-
posed a motion, which was referred to the Committee of
Finance, viz., That the Government be requested to
place before the House as soon as possible an estimate of
the public expenses for the ensuing year of 1834.—Bri-
tisk Packet (of Buenos Ayres), Aug. 3.
His Excellency has also called to his Councils Senhor D
Manuel Garcia as Minister of Finance, and to hold ad
interim the departments which are vacant. We highly
applaud his choice, SenhorGarcia being distinguished for iris
patriotism and talents, his extensive financial knowledge,
and his long experience. He is also fully impressed with
the importance of the expedition intrusted to the illus-
trious General Ilosas. A Ministry composed of such men
would be everything that the country could desire. But
we apprehend that, without Colleagues of the same prin-
ciples as his own, it will he impossible for him to do the
good that the public has a right to expect from him, and
we therefore fear that he will hesitate to join an Ad-
ministration, of which Senhor Martinez is a Member, well
knowing that the continuance of that gentleman in office
would be contrary to the wishes of the great majority of
the province, and be the origin of incalculable evils.
Aun. B.—We were not mistaken in supposing yester-
day that Dr. Garcia would refuse the office of Minister of
Finance. I❑ a letter to the Governor, he declines the
offer, observing that he has bef ire stated to his Excellency
Lis opinion of the measures, which he thinks indispensable
in the difficult situation in which the Government is
placed. The Governor has, however, refused to accept
the excuses of Senhor Garcia. _ _ _

His Excellency the Governor has appointed Don An
tonio Martinez Fontee, Chief Officer of the Department of
Finance, to sign the documents of the Department of the
Interior till it is filled up. This decree is signed Hen-
riques Martinez.—Diario of Buenos Ayres, Aug. 8.
Rio DE JANEIRO, AUG. 26.—The Regency, consider-
ing that it will be impossible, in the short interval to the
3d of September, to complete the law on the budget, and
that which is to improve the circulating medium, has
decreed, in the name of the Emperor, that the session shall
be prolonged to the 20th of September.
AUG. 27.—His Majesty the Emperor, accompanied by
the Princesses and by the Regency, gave an audience on
the 25th in due form to Mr. Henry S. Fox, who pre-
sented his en dentists as envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary from his Majesty the King of Great Bii-
tain to his Imperial Majesty. After the speech which
Mr. Fox made in our language, and the reply of his Excel-
lency the President of the Regency, his Majesty, with his
natural affability, and with a firmness that could not be
expected at ltio early age, addressed to the British envoy
some obliging expressions in the English language, in his
apartment.
AUGUST 28.—The Regency has sanctioned a plan for
the fo.toation of a company of native and foreign mer-
chants for the purpose of estahlishizg communications by
weans of steam boats with the ports of the north and south
of the empire.
AUGUST 29.—Official accounts from Marailham of
,Tune q, and from Ouro Preto of August 14, state that
those places enjoyed perfect tranquillity.
SEPTEMBER. 3 —A notice from the Regency to the
Editors of the Correio Official informs them that it has
been observed that in the non-official articles they do not
adhere to that decorum in the language which was ex-
pected from them, and if they do not refrain from per-
ao.naltties and expressions which are contrary to the dig-
ityyof the Government, they will be deprived of the per-
mission that has been given them to call their paper by
that name, and to print at the top the Correio of the
Empires—Correio Official, Sept. 3.
A NTwznr, OCT. 28.—We learn that the steamboat
plying between London and Antwerp will, henceforward,
take the mails to England.
BausstErs, OCT. 29.—During the absence of their
Majesties, the care of the Prince Royal is confided to Major
Capiatimont Colonel Wilm,rs, accompanied by his aide-
de.eamp, set out last night for Z,ondhoven, where the
negotiations are to be resumed for the reoflief

Meusef the garri-
son of Alaestricht, and the navigati by
Belgian boats. with despatches from
An English Cabinet Messenger,
Vienna, passed through Brussels yesterday morning, on
his way to London.

- -
STROUD.—Reform has done vvonclers for
this borough. The town is materially improved in
appearance, and is brilliantly lit with gas; two new
assembly-rooms are building, one of them at a cost of
3,900/.? which is to include a public library and Magis
tratists,nrolo. The clothing trade is very brisk, and :be

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1833.

The Paris correspondent of the Times in a
letter, dated the 28th inst., says—

" The affairs of Spain have so wholly engrossed public
attention for the last three weeks, that other still more
important matters seem to be quite forgotten, and are quite
unattended to. Meanwhile the absolute Sovereigns of
Europe are conspiring in silence against the liberties of
mankind, and one of these days some manifesto of theirs
may come forth to take by surprise those who have
ceased for a time to think of the dangers of a new crusade
against liberty. It now appears quite certain—l can say
so on authority on which the greatest reliance is to be
placed—that the meeting of the Sovereigns at Munchen.
gratz has given rise to deliberations on the means of put-
ting an absolute stop to the progress of liberalism beyond
the countries ruled by free institutions, and that it has
been agreed that when the evil so much dreaded by them
has reached a certain extent, they are to risk everything—
a war with the rest of Europe, and insurrection among
their own subjects—in order to put it down. The preli-
minaries of a treaty for this purpose have already been
signed between the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, Russia,
and Prussia. It is stipulated that liberal institutions
shall be tolerated only in France and Belgium (Holland is
not honoured with the presumed enjoyment of any), and
on no account, and by no means, are they to extend
their influence beyond the frontiers of these two countries.
Every means is to be employed in order to impede the
circulation of French newspapers on the Continent, and
great caution is to be observed as to the admission and
stay of French and Englishmen on territories which may
suffer from such a contamination. The treaty will pro-
bably be ratified and exchanged in the course of two or
three months."

We are not usually disposed to attach implicit
credit to the statements of Paris correspondents
and it is only when there are corroborative cir-
cumstances within our own knowledge that we
pay much attention to them. In the present
instance, however, we have not the slightest
doubt of the correctness of the writer. It agrees
with what has reached us from other sources ; it
harmonizes, if we may apply such a term to ma-
terials of discord, with the entire policy of the
Holy Alliance ; and it is confirmed by the pro-
fligate truckling of the French KING, who,
alarmed lest he should incur the anger of the

Munchengratz despots, by encouraging the spread
of liberal ideas, exercises a constant vigilance
over the refugees who, in more hospitable days,
when the juste milieu Government had not
stifled the principles of July, had obtained in
France a temporary refuge from their persecutors.
We are told by the correspondent of the
Times that liberal institutions are not to be per-

'flitted to exist, except in Great Britain, France,
and Belgium ; and that when an attempt shall
be made to extend them, the Holy Alliance will,
at any risk, attempt the construction of a barrier
against the influx of liberalism. Are we to be
grateful to these beneficent Sovereigns, who,
when they put the world under their ban, make
an exception in favour of the sixty millions of
France, England, and Belgium ? Will not
Lord PALMERSTON, and Louis PHILIP, and
the King of BELGIUM send letters of thanks for
their generous consideration ? Is it nothing to
be permitted to enjoy our own laws—to eat our
own bread untaxed, except by our own autho-
rities—to possess still the privilege of eating
ourselves free-born Englishmen, and shall we
not worship the moderation—the forbearance—
the generosity of the Sovereigns who offer
us safety for ourselves, provided we meddle not
with the affairs of others? France, under the
peaceful reign of a D'ORLEANs, is grateful—
Belgium is the same ; why, then, should Eng-
land hesitate? True, indeed, there was a time
when Englishmen did not receive, but dictated
commands. There was a time when Russia,
Austria, and Prussia felt grateful to us for not
opening the floodgates of liberalism upon them ;
but
those times no longer exist. 'We are re-
quired to be grateful for favour, where we com-
manded obedience, :Ind to bow in thankfulness
where we patronized by condescension.
Seriously, however, we will ask whether such
an arrangement as that which the Holy Alliance
proposes is practicable in the
ipresentg la nd preserve
state
Europe ? Can a country like El
its own liberal institutions if liberalism is to be

excluded from every part of the Continent (for
let it be observed that France and Belgium must
soon fall if the principle laid down by the Holy
Alliance be acted upon)? Of what avail would
be a Reformed Parliament in England—nay,
how far would even the influence of public
opinion prevail if the old Tory leaven could
once again get into power, and with that most
unconstitutional weapon of tyranny—a large
standing army in a time of peace—again attempt
the violation of our liberties, assured as they
would be of the support in the hour of need of
all the continental despots ? If it be necessary
for Russia, Austria, and Prussia, with all the
nations under their control, to unite for the
maintenance of despotism, is it not equally
necessary for Great Britain and France to
attempt the extension of liberalism so as to form
a counterpoise to the Holy Alliance, and pre•
serve what is called the balance of power in
Europe ?
If the Emperor of RUSSIA has been per-
mitted to enlarge his possessions, and to extend
his power, with the almost avowed purpose of
one day becoming the dictator of Europe, may
• we not endeavour to extend our own moral and
. political influence, so as to prevent the coining
of the day which would annihilate all free
institutions ? If Austria, Russia, and Prussia,
with the countries under their dominion, are
to be in alliance for the maintenance of despot-
ism, may not France and England insist upon
the establishment of a counterpoise, which
would include Spain and Portugal, as well as
Belgium ? And have not France and Eng-
land a direct interest in encouraging every
effort which the Poles and the Italians may
make to escape from their thraldom, so as
to increase the force of the alliance into which

they should enter for mutual preservation ?
According to the compact between the Mun-
chengratz despots, even Portugal is not to be
free—Spain, certainly, is to remain under the
grasp of despotism. Is not this a declaration of
war against free principles, in the two or three
countries which are temporarily excluded from
the ban of the three absolute Sovereigns, since,
without such an alliance, it would be impossible
for them to retain their own free institutions ?
If the statement of the Times correspondent be
true, the people of Great Britain and France
will do well to insist upon a more honest and
fearless course on the part of their Governments ;
and, above all, upon such assistance being given
to the liberal cause in Portugal, as must, by
its moral influence over Spain, lead to a con-
stitutional change in that country.

-A Morning Paper states that the Marquis
of FUNCILAL has ceased to act as Ambassador
from the Portuguese Regency to the British
Court. This is a mistake. The Marquis still
exercises the ambassadorial functions, but they are
more honorary than responsible, and he receives
no pecuniary remuneration from his Government.
The real business of the embassy is carried on
by the Chevalier DE LIMA, who acts as
Minister Plenipotentiary. By a recent decision
of the Portuguese Government, there is to be
no fixed Ambassador here from Lisbon, such
an appointment not being in accordance with
the system of economy laid down by the Portu
guese Minister of Finance, M. DE CARVALHO_

We understand that the report of Colonel
HARE having been appointed Consul-General'
at Lisbon is unfounded. There is some reason
to fear that the objectionable appointment, to
which we alluded a few days ago as being in
contemplation, will be persevered in.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this
morning. They contain accounts from Madrid
of the 22d inst., at which time it was known
that the priest MERINOS had organized se-
veral bands of guerillas in the direction of
Lerma and Aranda. Other Carlist move-
ments are mentioned, but they do not appear
to have been of consequence. Near Rippoll,
and at Talavera de la Regna, the Carlists
had been attacked and defeated by the
Government troops. Andalusia, Estrema.
dura, Valencia, and Murcia remained tran-
quil ; and a telegraphic despatch was received
in Paris on Monday, announcing that tran-
quillity prevailed in Barcelona on the 26th,
and at Gerona on the 27th inst. Count
D'OFALIA had been displaced from the
Mi-
nistry of the Interior, and been appointed Se-
cretary of the Council of Government. His
successor in the Ministry is M. BURGOS, of
whose political sentiments we are ignorant.
The private letters from Paris speak in a tone
less assuring than the Journals. Intelligence
reached that city on Tuesday, that C u EBILLAS,
a former chief of guerillas against the French,
and afterwards one of the leaders of the army
of the Faith in 1822-23) had taken the field
for Don CA ItLos. The Marquis of TORRE-
ALTA, lately appointed Member of the Junta of St.
Sebastian by General CA STAGNON, and the Duke
of GRENADA, a grandee, had joined the Car-
lists of Biscay. An engagement took place at
Tolosa on the 22d inst., which terminated
without advantage to either party. On the 23d
inst., however, the attack was renewed by the
Carlists, who were defeated.
It was reported on the Paris Stock Exchange
on Tuesday afternoon that an officer of the army
of observation had arrived in Paris, bringing in-
telligence of an insurrection in the Asturias, but
this report requires confirmation. It is stated
that CHARLES X. returned to Prague on the
19th inst., after having had an interview with
the Duchess de BERRI, in which she did not
succeed in clearing up her character in the opi-
nion of the Ex-Sovereign.

The report of the Committee which sat last
session on the House of Commons' offices and
fees now lies before us. It exposes a system of
public plunder as rank as any which grew up
under the long reign of Tory misrule. There is
hardlynot
anofficer connected with the House who
hasi been in the habit of receiving unautho-
rized fees and gratuities to a large amount, all
for what they ought to do in the regular
course doing
of
their duty. The uninitiated part of
thee public
of
be surprised to learn, that by
an
unauthorized fees, the wages of
means
ic
these
several of the doorkeepers and messengers of the
House have actually been raised to nearly
1,0001. per annum. Let it not be supposed
that any particular talent or qualification is ne-

cessary in the holders of these situations. The
whole of their duties consists in opening doors
and carrying the printed papers of the House,
and before receiving their lucky appointment, '
they were valets or small shopkeepers. Different
Members of the House have long complained
of the extortions of these gentry ; but reluctance
to oppose long established abuses, however
gross, have hitherto restrained Members from
corning forward to cleanse the offices of the
House of Commons of the accumulated corrup-
tions which defile them. The Reform Act has
broken the spell, and Mr. GUEST, the Member
for the new borough of Merthyr Tidvil, by
obtaining the appointment of the Committee of
last session, has added another proof to the
many already existing, of the benefits the
public may expect from that activity which the
boroughmongers so much lamented when they
opposed the renovation of the Constitu-
tion. The Report of the Committee, how-
ever, although it goes a great way, does
not, in our opinion, go far enough to satisfy the
public. The sa'aries of most of the superior
officers of the House of Commons are recom-
mended to be fixed at too high a scale, and
we fear it is one which the Members of
the House will not on that account be dis-
posed to reject. They are brought into daily
contact with the parties, and it seems to be act-
ing unhandsomely to be sparing of salary when
you have not to pay it from your own pocket.
We will recapitulate some of the recommendations
of the Committee. It appears that, previously to
the passingof the 30th Geo. 111., the emoluments
of the Speaker, excluding plate and outfit, did not
exceed 3,0001. pet annum. By that Act
a salary of 6,0001. was attached to the office of
Speaker. Besides this salary, the Speaker has
an official residence, and receives an al-
lowance for coals and candles, costing 5001.
per annum. On every new election of a
Speaker, it has been the practice to allow
him 4,000 ounces of plate (or about
1,4001. in lieu of it), and 1,0001. by way of
outfit, both being allowed as often as he may be
re-elected ! As the chief officers of State
receive only 5,0001. per annum, the Committee
recommend that the salary of the Speaker
should be reduced to that sum—that he
should have no allowance for coals and
candles, and no grant for plate, but that he
should have an outfit of 1,0001., and an
official residence, tax free. Instead of a
service of plate being allowed each Speaker,
it is recommended that 6,000/. should be laid
out in plate which should belong to the public,
each successive Speaker having the use of it.
This is the principle adopted with respect to the
plate of our Ambassadors. Formerly each
Ambassador had a service given him, but now
here is a service attached to the office. The

Speaker's Secretary is recommended to be paid
a salary of 5001., ,instead of being allowed, as
now, to receive, in the shape of salary and fees,
9931. The recommendation of the Committee,
with regard to the chaplain of the House, is
that which has pleased us most. His duty
consists in simply reading prayers at the sitting
of the House, for discharging which laborious
task he has hitherto been remunerated by the
House, requesting his MAJESTY to bestow
upon him some preferment in the Church, and
after having said prayers at the table of the House
for three half years, it has been usual to give
him a prebendal stall at Windsor, Westminster,
or Canterbury. The Committee consider this
an improper practice, and recommend the pay-
ment of a salary of 2001. per annum. The
Clerk of the House of Commons formerly received
from one source or another 10,0001. a year, but
late in the reign of GEORGE 111. a salary of
3,5001. was attached to it, as also an official
residence worth 5001. per annum. The Com-
mittee propose to reduce this to 2,0001.; but
we confess that we think that exactly double the
sum it ought to be. The other Clerks of the
House are recommended to be 'educed in a
corresponding manner. The havoc made
among messengers, doorkeepers, &c., is greater
still ; gentlemen with 8001. or 900/ a year,
being reduced to 3001. and 250/. The
total saving which will be made in
the House of Commons' offices, if the re-
commendations of the Committee be adopted,
will be 18,459/. The proposed salaries are, in
all cases, liberal, and in many are higher than
the nature of the duties to be performed ren-
ders requisite, but we nevertheless shall be well
content to adopt the proposed plan with all its
faults.
