A few official copies of the Don Carlos loan were exhibited
on the bourse, but with an air of mystery. The names of the
Amsterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, Frankfort, Vienna, and Ber-
lin correspondents are left in blank, and are only communi-
cated in a whisper.
The total of the loan is 125 millions of francs (five millions
sterling), at 65f. for five francs interest, or 650 f. for a nominal
bond of I,ooof. giving 5 per cent. interest.
The loan is to be divided into twenty series, of which one is
to be drawn every year, and be paid off at par.
These are the prominent features of the loan :
As a guarantee for the present loan, his Catholic Majesty
pledges all the revenues of the kingdom.
The Government will receive the bonds at par in payment
of customs duties, and to the extent of half those duties.
Care is taken to amuse the good easy souls who are inclined
to advance their money to Don Carlos, that it will be received
only up to the 20th August, and that interest will be paid from
the Ist June, 1834.

BA YONNE, JULY 27.—Don Carlos slept three nights ago at
Elisondo. An engagement was expected for the day of the
Queen's fete. _

The Commander of the Artillery of St. Sebastians, who
bad been cashiered, has gone over to the factious. He is at
Elisondo. .

(From the Journal de Paris, Aug. 1.)
Government has received to-day a telegraphic despatch from
Bayonne.
In that town two engagements were spoken of as having
taken place between the Queen's troops and the insurgents :
the details are not yet known. The only certainty is, that in
consequence of these engagements, the insurgents have ap-
proached still nearer to the frontier.
The treaty of commerce between France and the Grand
Duke of Nassau, contained only one clause binding upon this
country, viz., a reduction of duties on mineral waters ; this
reduction was included in the Customs Bill presented to the
Chamber of Deputies on the 3d of February 1834. As this
Bill was not discussed, the reduction was confirmed by an or-
donnance of the 2d of June last. The Grand Duke, in order
to avoid the obligations imposed upon him by the treaty, had
recourse to the singular pretext that the reduction, although
realised, had not been confirmed by a law in the first session of
the Chambers.
The sloop of war, the Sappho, the brigs Orestes. Lutin and
Hussard, the schooner Hirondelle, and two armed trincadours
have sailed from Brest and R9chfort, to establish a chain of
cruisers upon the coasts of Biscay, and intercept by sea all
transports of arms for the insurgents. Several English ships
of war have been ordered to the same destination.

Vice-Admiral Grivel will shortly proceed to Brest, to in-
spect the materiel of the fleet now in that port. This mission
was unexpected, and it is the first of the kind that has taken
place since the peace, at least, at Brest. It will lay open the
extent of our resources, which we are aware are little in har-
mony with the appearance of prosperity in our port.
( From the Gaceta de Madrid, of July 24. )

GIJoN, JULY 13.—Great satisfaction has been experienced
here at seeing the English brig of war, the Saracen, from
Lisbon and Corunna, pass in the direction of Santander, in
order to join another brig and several vessels which the British
Government have sent to cruize in sight of our coasts, and to
assist, in case of need, the defenders of the legitimate cause
of the Queen our Lady. This demonstration, even if it should
prove to be but a demonstration, will produce the best effect,
inasmuch as it is a manifest proof of the friendly sentiments of
the British Cabinet.
The third and last preparatory sitting of the Deputies (Pro-
curadores) took place on the 23rd of July. It opened at half-
past ten.
The sitting was opened at a quarter past ten, and after the
qualifications of various members had been examined, the Pre-
sident and Secretaries proceeded to the nomination of mem-
beis of the deputation to receive the Queen in the vestibule of
the Chamber of Peers ( Proceres) at the royal sitting of the
next day, the 24th, and to conduct her Majesty back, accord-
ing to article 25 of the regulations.
(From the Mensangero de las Cortes, of July 25.)
To-day several arrests have taken place in this capital.
Among the prisoners there are some persons of note, such as
the Duke of Saragossa, Don Lorenzo Calvo de Rozas, Don
Romero Alpuente, the Belgian General Vanhallen, Don N.
Olavatria, and Don N. Albinalita. Various reports are in
circulation as to the causes that gave rise to these arrests ; we
will give every information to our readers as we shall be able
to obtain authentic particulars.
We have heard that the council of Government holds a
meeting extraordinary to-night.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1834.

The public business in the House of Commons is
expected to be got through by Wednesday next, and
on that day week, or the Thursday following, Parlia-
ment will be prorogued. The Session has been pro-
longed a month, at least, by useless discussion since
the Easter vacation, and a week or two by the late
changes in the Ministry. Next Session we hope to
have Parliamentary business (lone, like other matters,
in a business-like way.

We understand it is very probable that Mr. FRANK-
LAND LEWIS will be the Chairman of the Central
Boafd under the Poor Law Bill. The other Com-

missioners are not yet named.

We understand that a deputation of Scotch dis-
tillers are to have an interview with Lord ALTHORP
to-day, for the purpose, as we are informed, of praying
the Noble Lord to equalize the duty on Scotch and
Irish whiskey. We also learn from private accounts
from Scotland that the crops have sustained no
damage from the late heavy rains. The harvest pro-
mises to be very plentiful.

We cannot part with the rejection of the Universi-
ties' Admission Bill, without some further observa-

tions.

The University of Oxford has told us, by its
mouth-piece, the Duke of WELLINGTON, that the
Universities of England are corporations—that every
student, by matriculating, becomes a member of the
corporation—and that, as corporations, the Universi-
ties have a right to manage their own affairs. But
have the heads of Colleges—has the DUKE, as their head
--forgot the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, by
which every other corporation was opened to persons
of every religious persuasion—and are these two cor-
porations to form an exception ? But it is said they
are religious corporations, and the object of their in-
stitution is the maintenance of the religion of the
State ? But is this really so—or where is it found to
be so ? And if the object of these institutions was
to maintain the religion of the State, how came the
Roman Catholic religion to be overturned in England?
But, even if the teaching of the religion of the State
were the purpose of these institutions, is the religion of
the State taught there—and, even if it were, is it the
only matter taught, or that ought to be taught ; and
even if the religion of the State were to be exclusive,
is every branch of education, whether of art or of science,
to be exclusive also ? Can the heads of colleges, or
the Duke of WELL I NGTON be so little conversant with
the Christian dispensation, as to contend that that dis-
pensation is exclusive? Has not our SAVIOUR said
Thou shalt love the LORD thy GOD with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
strength ; this is the first, and great commandment :
and the second is like unto it ; Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself" ? And has he not told us who
is our neighbour, by the parable of the good Samari-
tan ? And has he not said that he came to preach
the Gospel to the Gentiles as well as the Jews ? Fi-
nally, is there anything exclusive in the precepts which
he taught ? On the contrary, did he not direct the
knowledge of them to be extended to all mankind ?
Further, are the heads of colleges, and the Duke
of WELLINGTON as their head, so little conver-
sant with the Thirty-nine Articles as not to know
that one of them says, " Although the Church
be a witness and a keeper of holy writs, yet it ought

not to decree anything against the same, nor besides
the same ought it to enforce anything to be believed
for necessity of salvation." And that it is further
declared, that " it is not necessary that traditions and
ceremonies be in all places one, or utterly alike ; for at
all times they have been diverse, and may be changed,
according to the diversities of countries, times, men's
manners, and so that nothing be ordained against
GOD'S Word." And is it to be said that a Scottish
student who has received a bursary to Baliol is to be
refused the privileges conferred upon his countrymen
by the founder of that College because he is a Presby-
terian ? and if a Presbyterian Scotsman is to be ad-
mitted to Baliol, why not a Presbyterian Englishman ?
But the Heads of Colleges by his Grace of WEL-
LINGTON further conteud that their privileges rest
upon an Act of Parliament. The particular Act has
not been mentioned ; but we presume that the 13th
Eliz., c. 29, was meant, and so these learned Heads
might have contended tha t the privileges of the Uni-
versities rest upon the patents of that Princess and of
her Royal Father recite 3 in that statute. But if the
privileges of the Univwsities have been regulated by
one Royal patent, or by one Act of the Legislature,
may they not be regulated by another ? Is it to be
maintained at this time of day that the Corporations of
Oxford and Cambridge may not be regulated by Act
of Parliament, as well, as every other Corporation in
the United Kingdom.? Is learning, or are the means
of learning, to be exclusive ? Are members of the
Church of England alone fit to be taught the arts and
sciences ? When tile form of the religion of Scotland
is Presbyterian, and the form of that of the majority of
the people of Irelarbd is Roman Catholic, is it to be
said that it is fit that a Scottish Presbyterian or
an Irish Roman Catholic should not be permitted to
become a student at Oxford or Cambridge, unless he
changes his creed ? And though the Chancellor,
masters, and scholars, are the name by which either
University is to be called, what voice have the scho-
lars in any corporate act ? They are the alumni who
go there to be taken. care of by the heads of colleges ;
and are neither capable of interfering, nor allowed to
interfere, in the affairs of either university or any of
the colleges.
Upon reflection we think the manly mind of the
Duke of WELLIKGTON will be ashamed of itself
for having become the instrument of putting forth
such sickly trash, even though he was supported by the
Head of -the Church and a Prelate of some notoriety.
His Grace has the merit of having put the finishing
hand to the removal of civil disabilities on account of
religion. But such disabilities have been remoKed in
vain if the instruction is to be withheld which is to
render their removal valuable.

The speech. of the Queen of SPAIN, which we
published on Saturday, has given the greatest satis-
faction in Paris and will, we are certain, be equally
well received in this country. It is unquestionably the
best Royal Speech, both in the information which it
contains, and the line of policy which the Govern-
ment intends to pursue, that has come under our ob-
servation. It explains everything ; exposes the real
state of the kingdom, and the necessity for taking
immmediate steps to restore peace and tranquillity,
and improve the national finances. We are particu-
larly happy to learn from accounts which we have
received this morning, that the Chambers purpose
giving the most liberal interpretation to the clause in
the speech, which refers to the public debt, and that
means will immediately be taken to satisfy all foreign
holders of Spanish Bonds and other securities. This is
just the right way to begin. Nations as well as indi-
viduals are morally bound to pay their debts ; and a
violation of this obligation is as sure of being followed
by ruinous and degrading consequences in the one
case as in the other.

The express which arrived this morning from
Spain, containing the particulars of the detection
of a radical conspiracy in Madrid, Tortosa, and Va-
lencia, has created a considerable sensation in the city.
It is supposed that only a part of the plot has been
discovered, as the principal conspirator, PALAFOX,
who has recently been created Duke of Zaragossa, is
well known to be a man of extraordinary energy, and
possessed of much inflence in Barcelona, and various
other districts in Spain. ZARAGOSSA'S principal asso-
ciates were ROMERO ALPUENTE, a leader of the Demo-
crats in 1812 ; VANHALEN, an officer who served in
Belgium, and CALAO DE ROYA s, a man of the most vio-
lent ultra-radical principles. The object of the conspirators
was not the invasion of the QUEEN'S Government, but the
restoration of the Constitution of 1812, by which the
power of the Sovereign would be greatly, and in the
present condition of Spain, dangerously abridged. One
of the most striking features in the Constitution of
1812 was, that any law thus approved of by the
Cortes, would not require the Royal sanction to render
it binding on the people.
The conspirators, who were promptly seized on the
night of the 24th ult. by order of the Cortes,
are closely confined in the Saladero. It is not
yet determined when they shall be brought to
trial, but every means has been taken by the
Government to discover all who were in any way
connected with the plot. Several were being seized,
some on suspicion and others on private information,
up to the very hour at which the despatches had left
Madrid. None of the conspirators were connected
with the Carlists.

Buenos Ayres Papers of the 12th May, and Rio
Janeiro of the sth June, have been received Their
contents are entirely pacific. Senor RI vAnAvIA ar-
rived on the 28th April at Buenos Ayres from France,
but was ordered on board the French vessel imme-
diately on his landing. There is no further mention
of him in these papers.

The House of Representatives assembled on the sth of May,
when Senor Mayer was nominated President, and Senor Pintos
Vice President. On the 7th the session was formally opened, and
a message from the Government was read.
The Government states that the relations with all friendly na-
tions are unchanged. It regrets that the British Government has
not given a satisfactory answer to the protest against the violent
occupation of the Falkland Islands, but still does think that the Bri-
tish Government will, in the end, yield to the justice of the claim
of Buenos Ayres.

The German papers, received this morning, contain
no news of importance. The Archduchess MARIA
THERESA, daughter of the Archduke CHARLES of
AUSTRIA, is to be married to the Crown-Prince of
BAVARIA.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

THIS DAY, MONDAY, AUGUST 4.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes past Twelve.
Mr. F. SHAW presented 32 petitions from places in the County
Down, and several other petitions from various places in Ireland,
in support of the established Church.
Several petitions to the same effect from places in Hampshire
were presented by Mr. SCOTT.
LAW REFORM (SCOTLAND.)
Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from the provost and
others of the royal burgh of Renfrew, infavour of law reform. The
petition detailed the grievances and evils of the present system, and
stated that unless some change was made in the mode in hich
justice was administered in the Court of Session in Scotland, there
would be general and increasing dissatisfaction among that people.
The Hon. Member here alluded to the report of the Commis-
sioners, which recommended that some material reform would be
made in those Courts, and that it was to the situation in which those
excellent local Courts, the Sheriffs' Courts, were placed that much
of the dissatisfaction existing against the ourt of Session might be
attributed. He thought that in the formation of the Commission
to which he had alluded, it would have been wise in his Majesty's
Government to have added one or two gentlemen of the English
Bar as component parts of it. The Hon. Member then presented
a petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Greenock in favour
of the Bankruptcy Bill.
Mr. HUME hoped that during the recess his Majesty's Govern-
ment would turn their attention to a reform in those Acts, which he
thought was much required.
Mr. MACKEN ZIE said the report of the Commissioners of
Law Reform in Scotland was under the consideration of Govern-
ment at present. He could say nothing with respect to the Bank-
ruptcy Bill.
The petition was then laid on the table._
