the fair inmates, the peasant's 149ndogo only

came the
balling, for he only was obliged to
be more than verbally grateful. Than this a more
humiliating prostration of human reason and nature
was impossible. But happily the long, dreary, dismal,
dark, and murderous night of superstition is departing
from the Spanish horizon. The morning of a bright,
intellectual, and happy day already dawns over that
once rich, powerful, and chivalrous country. Super.
stition received its death-blow in the abolition of the
inquisition, and the day is near at hand when Heaven
will not be blasphemed by being cited to sanction
the robbery of the poor tiller of the soil, whose-
crumbs are soaked in sweat, and eaten in sorrow. The
eeelt siastical sceptre of ignorance will and must be
broken, and the people relieved from the impious
exactions of a profligate and mendicant priesthood.
The Spanish peasantry must be taught that no vows,
by whomsoever made, can sanctify acts of injustice—
that no -king, living or dead, could in the excess of

his royal gratitude bestow their children's bread on
monks or nuns—for any purpose whatsoever. As
to the conduct of the Ministry with respect to
the abolition of ecclesiastical exactions, we highly
approve of it, and we trust they will not be
deterred from so just a course by the clamour of an

interested faction in the chamber of Proceres, or Peers,
of whom the Bishops, at least, may be expected to be
the most .noisy, and intractable.

The Commission for the exclusion of Don CARLOS
and his lineal descendants from the Throne of Spain,
which was to be discussed in the Chamber of Pro-
ccres on the 3d inst. attracts very little attention in
Madrid. The general impression seems to be that
the projected law is a work of supererogation, inas-
much as Don CARLOS is already excluded by the
voice of the representatives of the people. This
likewise is our opinion ; nor can we see in what the
question of a legitimacy already settled by the nation,
and approved of by some of the most powerful states
in Europe, can be affected by an after-inquiry relative

to the councils of Spain in 1367-8, 1475, and 1719.
The Spanish nation has formally denounced Don
C A RLOS as a rebel in the face of the world, and there-

fore to sit down now to examine precedents on the
subject, looks very like a wish to justify an act of the
rectitude of which some doubts are still entertained. It

betrays weakness and indecision—an unconsciousness of
the supreme dignity of a nation which, with respect to
itself, ought ever to hold itself irresponsible for acts ap-
proved of by the majority of the people, and those who
represent them. Neither is the enactment of a law of
succession a whit wiser than the investigation of the
grounds on which to justify it. No law can, or ought
to prevent a nation from choosing its sovereign ; and
all laws are unjust in principle which enact that the
innocent shall suffer the penalties attached to guilt, or
that children shall be amenable to chastisement for the
crimes of their parents. The Cortes may for-
mally exclude Don CA RLOs, if they please,
because the Spanish nation has already so done ;
but they cannot bind posterity by their acts, and there-
fore cannot pronounce the exclusion of his descend-
ants, farther than such may be the pleasure of the

people.
We have received no further particulars respecting
the progress which the draft of the new charter is
making in the Chamber of the Procuradores or Depu-
ties, but our present conviction is, that the Ministry
will so fritter it away, in the course of the debate on
the several articles, by the substitution of phrases, and
the moving of amendments, as to render it not worth the
acceptance of the people. They have tact enough to
perceive that in Spain there is a growing disposition to
get rid of clerical incumbrances, and therefore they take
the tide at the proper moment, but the recognition of
principles is going a step too far for them. Neither do
they like to hear the word itself, being sufficiently
aware that wherever men begin to discuss principles,
they are on the straight road to a knowledge of good
government, and a just administration of the laws.

We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of
Wednesday, together with private intelligence from
Bayonne and Brussels. The Courier Francais con-
tains a letter from one of its contributors, from
Lyons, in which the improved state of that town,
since the termination of the Trades' Union dis-
sensions, is set forth in a manner that does
credit to the writer's sagacity and intelligence. The
other papers are mostly taken up with the state of
affairs in Spain, and the probable results of the ap-
proval or rejection of the Bill of Rights. The questions
of the financial report, and the war in the provinces
are likewise kept in view and descanted upon with
more than ordinary zeal. It appears the defeat of
the Madrid Cabinet on the Bill of Rights, was not
correctly reported, or was misunderstood in Paris,
as Spanish Stock fell on the Bourse so much as three
per cent., in the course of some five or ten minutes
after the arrival of the courier was made known.
How this happened, even presuming that the
Madrid Cabinet had resigned—as the French
Fundholders perhaps anticipated—we cannot un-
derstand, as those who would succeed DE LA
ROSA and his colleagues, could not bring forward
a plan for the liquidation of the public debt more
universally condemned than that of TOREN°.
The cholera is raging with dreadful violence in
many parts of Spain. Upwards of three thousand
persons have fallen victims to it at Valladolid. Vit-
toria, Palencia, and several other large provin-
cial towns are in a state of devastation from its vio-
lence. The war is being carried on, and in every en-
gagement which has yet taken place, the rebels
have suffered defeat. Don CARLOS is himself
greatly dispirited, and in all likelihood only awaits an
opportunity of making his escape to some other part of
the Continent.

We have just learned by express from Lisbon, that
Don PEDRO is dangerously ill, and that fears are en-
tertained as to the probability of his recovery. The
REGENT, with his family, left Lisbon, for his health
some weeks since, he being then in a delicate state ;
but as he rather grew worse from the use of the waters,
he returned, and was improving, about the time of the
opening of the Cortes. Within the last few days, how-
ever, he got worse, and is at present in a very dangerous
state. It is said that his illness arose from anxiety
and over-exertion in the discharge of his public func-
tions as Regent of Portugal.

Mr. TIDD PRATT has published the Poor Law
Act with explanatory notes and a copious index, the
careful perusal of which we would recommend to all
those (and they are not few) who, either from negli-
gence or wilful obstinacy, misinterpret its meaning.
The explanatory notes will be found of great use in
obtaining a correct knowledge of the Act. They ex-
plain the meaning of the principal terms used—poiyit out
