drid. We do not doubt but that the speech will con-
tain much which shall influence public opinion in this

country.

(Extract from the Madrid Gazette of the 12th inst.)
Calumny, which from every thing extracts poison, as a
venomous reptile from the most wholesome vegetables, con-
tinues to propagate suspicions respecting the future pro-
ceedings, since it has not been able to do so in regard to the
past nor the present acts of the actual Ministry, all the in-
dividuals of which profess the firmest adherence to the pro-
gramme of the 14th of September. It imports little to
know where may be the repertory from whence these sus-
picions have come forth, whether it be from the fund of
personal malignity, or from the articles of national or foreign
papers. But it is absolutely necessary to caution simple
and honourable men against these impositions.
None are ignorant that when the Ministry was installed
on the 14th of September, there existed no precedent of
government for him who then alone composed the whole of
it. His patriotism, the services he had rendered to liberty,
and his personal qualities were known, but not so was his
system or his means of government. The man was known,
but not the Minister.

In those days the nation was divided, the unity of admi-
nistration had ceased, and approaching dissolution and ruin
threatened. The rebels, while their daring increased, were
about to bring under their yoke another province, the most
warlike in Spain ; finally, all was misfortune and disor-
ganization.
The Minister did not delay in investigating the remote
or proximate causes of the evil. He did nothing more than
study the nation and its existing wants. After he had exa-
mined and learned them, he said " The Government is in
want of the co-operation of the people of all classes and of
unity of administration ; the people require a representative
monarchy whole and entire." This was the basis of the
system, which her Majesty was pleased to approve of on the
14th September—this is the polar star of her Government.
All those things which have been called " concessions"
are nothing more than corollaries from this principle—rigo-
rous consequences of the principle of government which
bound the union of divided opinions with the satisfying the
wants of the nation. This principle has constituted the po-
litical character of the President of the Council of Ministers
during the whole of his life. If some will call it a " conces-
sion" to a system of Government conformably to the no-
tions of him who proposes such, we shall not dispute upon
the words provided that it avoids the idea of " co-action
which is usually connected with that of political concessions.
The nation accepted the programme of the 14th of Sep-
tember; what were its promises? A compact m.nistry—
destruction of the rebellion—responsibility of ministers—
freedom of representation—public credit. What means were
proposed? First, that the Government would never depart
from the line of the law ; 2d, that there should be promul-
gated a new law of election as well as other urgent ones—
principally for the support of public credit—and that new
Cortes should be convened to revise in union with the Crown
the Estatuto Real.

We shall, therefore, now inquire from the mind the most
liable to suspicions, provided the individual be capable of
good faith, what one of those promises which it has been
possible to comply with during the short space that has oc-
curred since the re-establishment of the unity of Adminis-
tration has not received at least a beginning of execution ?
What means pointed out for fulfilling them has been
omitted ? The Cortes are about to. assemble, and to them
will be presented the project of the electoral law, and others
of great impartrnce. Thus, even before the peace and the
reconciliation of all the Spaniards has been settled, the Go-
vernment has proceeded with giot strides towards the ruin
or the rebellion ; and this faction, the opprobrium of the
age we live in, bears within itself the cause of its destruc-
tion. The existing Ministry is the most compact that can
exist, and if it be not as yet complete, the cause is the
scrupulousness necessary. to. seek out concord nt elements,
and the difficulty of finding them. What is there, we re-
peat, which was capable of being done which has not been
done ?

The Government which has triumphed over discord,
without employing force or shedding blood, or instituting
trials, or making any persons Unhappy, and which has
ad-
vanced so much in the noble but difficult career which it
has undertaken, merits that "its Intentions shall be sus-
pected," to have facts, certain and positive facts, to ground
those suSpieions on, and not. mere vague reflections. This
Government obtains the eminence of the Throne and of
the people, since without that, without the noble and loyal
character of the nation, without the sublime sentiments of
her Majesty, the Queen governess, it could hardly have
piloted so near the port, in the midst of suclf frightful tem-
pests; the vessel of the State. They who seek to deprive
it of the public opinion which it enjoys, by mere suspicions
not founded in actions but in extrinsic cavils, expose them-
selves to well merited ridicule.

The Government will fulfil that which it has promised,
since it has fulfilled it hitherto in all that was possible ; it
will fulfil it, because its political creed is in harmony with
its promises ; it will fulfil it, because whatever it has pro-
mised is glorious for the throne and useful for the coun-
try ; it will fulfil it, because if it failed in its promises and
defrauded so many and such lawful hopes, it would cover
itself voluntarily and without any utility with ignominy. If
more guarantees be required, where is the I\linistry who
can present them ?

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

The whole of the Paris Papers of Friday and Sa-
turday have been received. They are chiefly filled
with letters, and extracts of letters, from Madrid, of
the same date as those received in London last night.
They bring some unimportant advices from Bayonne
and Bilboa, of which the purport is favourable to the
Madrid Government. The copy of a speech—pur-
porting to be a draft of the speech prepared by
M. MENDIZABAL for the Regent—was handed
about in Paris on Saturday, but we are confident it
was every word a forgery. We shall, therefore, take
no further notice of it.

CITY: TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Quebec Papers of the 27th October, received this morn-
ing at the North and South American Coffee-house, contains
the opening Speech at the Provincial Parliament of Lower
Canada.

The Moniteur contains a decree of the Court of
Peers, authorizing the prosecution of FIESCHI and
his accomplices for the crimes of treason, murder, and
attempted regicide.
PARIS, Nov. 20.—The King and Queen, and the Royal
Family passed yesterday evening with the King of the
Belgians.
The Austrian Ambassador had an audience of the King
to-day.
PARIS, Nov. 21.—The departure of the King and
Queen of the Belgians, which was to take place yesterday,
is again put off. They have, however, both recovered—
the King from his fall, and the Queen from her severe cold.

Jamaica Papers to the 11th of October, and New Brunswick
to the 17th of October, are this day received at the North and
South American Coffee House. The Jamaica Papers say—
" We have lately been blessed with most favourable rains ; but
the hopes of the planters are not raised in proportion. Our
crops will be on the ground, and of these a large proportion
will remain. Lord Sligo is said to be packing up his heavy
baggage ; but whether his Excellency is going to take another
cruise to the Mediterranean or not we are unable to state.
We understand that no communication has been made by the
Government, on the subject of the destructive duty on East
India produce ; or of the proposed Legislative measure to pre-
vent any other produce, but that which was of British growth
in the East, from having the benefit of such removal. The
avowed determination of the Government to adopt such a
measure has, we learn, induced those who were before so cla-
morous for the removal, to consider it of less importance to
their interest. We are happy to state, that the Marquis of
Sligo is in good health."
The Portland election took place on the 28th ult., when it
was understood that Mr. Barrett would represent the old and
virtuous parish of Portland. The New Brunswick Papers do
not contain any news of consequence.

In the Foreign Market, up to the present hour, there is not
much animation, all the speculators being anxiously waiting,
the arrival of the Queen of Spain's Speech ; although it is an-
ticipated by the Express from Madrid to the 15th inst., which
states that the Speech was in circulation there on the 14th
inst. The Minister declares that he will have no recourse to
a loan, and hopes to consolidate the credit without adding new
taxes. In regard to foreign affairs, he says he has the strongest
assurances of support and friendship from the Quadruple Al-
liance.

Mr. Barton, the American Charge d'Affaires, will leave
Paris on Tuesday for Havre.
It is said that M. de St. Aulaire has written of the deep
impression made in Germany by the speech of the Emperor
Nicholas. His letters dated Frankfort say that there is
everywhere one unanimous cry against it ; and that the in-
fluence of the Emperor Nicholas in Germany has received
a shock from which it will not soon recover.

LORD MUL GRA VE.—A requisition.to the King's
County, for the purpose of convening a meeting to ad-
dress the Viceroy, has been forwarded to Lord Glandine.
Who the devil, I beg to know,
• Is my Lord Glandine?
He is an Orangeman, and High Sheriff of the King's
County, and has declined to accede to a requisition signed
by one Nobleman, two Members of Parliament, several
Justices of the Peace, and several large landholders.
"See," says the Dublin Evening Post, " see what power
your Orange Sheriffs have in suppressing the expression of
public opinion ! But the meetinc, will be called neverthe-
less—resolutions will be passed and' an Address voted."

A few weeks ago, it was the intention of his Grace
the Duke of Devonshire to pass part of the winter in Italy,
and to reside partially at Florence. It seems his Grace
has postponed his tour, at least for the present, as he still
resides at his princely seat, Chatsworth. and continues to
visit his relative, the Hon. Mr. Cavendish, M.P. for North
Derbyshire, at the ancient palace, Hardwick Hall, near
Chesterfield, so much renowned as being one of the resi-
dences of the unfortunate and much lamented Princess,
Mary Queen of Scots.—Doncaster Gazette.

It is to be hoped that this circumstance will make the
interests of Vienna and Berlin more and more sensible how
necessary it is to follow a conciliatory line of policy towards
France and England, for in this alone is henceforth security
to be found for the civilisation, commerce, and prosperity of
Germany.-Constitutionnel.

DEVIZES ELECTION.—A complete Saturnalia is
fixed on in the neighbourhocd of Devizes for Wednesday
next—the day of the Devizes election. Never were so
many invitations given to the inhabitants of the town—par-
ticularly to the smaller classes of voters—as during the past
week ; and, strange as it may appear to many of our readers,
all are for Wednesday next : whether to shoot, to course, to
partake of legs of mutton and trimmings, at Melksham, at
Trowbridge, or elsewhere, all the invitations are given for
early on Wednesday morning, and by persons who are
almost unknown to the parties invited.—Wilts Herald.

A Protestant meeting was held on the sth inst. in
the Highlands of Scotland. The report of the proceedings
in the Aberdeen Observer concludes thus :—The Rev. Mr.
Carment then addressed the meeting, and in a very impres-
sive manner called upon all those who were determined to
stand by the Church of God to rise, and to hold up their
their hands to heaven as a pledge that they were ready even
to shed their blood in her defence. Every individual in the
Church rose and lifted his hands, and we feel convinced that
there was not a man present who did not at that moment
consider himself bound, by the most solemn declaration in
the sight of God, to sacrifice his life, if called on, in defence
of his National Church. It was determined immediately to
form an Association on the same footing as those in other
parts of Scotland, and a day was fixed for holding another
meeting to draw up rules, and enrol members. This ex-
ample will be followed by almost every parish in the
Highlands.
INC ENDIA RlSM.—Another diabolical act of this
description has occurred at Buckland Brewer, in the
neighbourhood of Torrington. The outhouses of Mr.
John Caddy, a respectable yeoman of that place, were dis-
covered to be on fire on the night of Wednesday last, and
were consumed, together with five valuable horses. Mr.
Caddy had recently received a threatening letter intimating
the intention of the writer to destroy the premises by fire,
so that no doubt exists but it is the work of an incendiary.
A reward of 300/. is offered for the discovery of the of-
fender or offenders who lately set fire to the outhouses at
Horwood Farm, in the adjoining parish of Frithelstock, the
property of Mr. Norman, which we hope may lead to the
conviction of the perpetrator of the crime.—North Devon
Advertiser.

Letters and Papers from Lisbon- to the Bth instant,
have been received. The residue of the Auxiliary
troops destined for Spain were in a state of perfect
equipment, and then only waiting orders to march
against the Carlists. Nothing further was known re-
specting the expected nuptials of the Queen of POR-
TUGAL with the Prince of SAxE COBURG.

The supporters of Mr. Roebuck are making the
most indefatigable and persevering exertions to raise money
sufficient to erect a school-house, for the purpose of edu-
cating the children of the various classes in this city who
may approve of his system. Upwards of One Hundred
Pounds were collected at his lecture, on Friday evening at
Todd's Ride, and the surplus or profit upon the Tea party,
at Is. per head, at the same place, on Tuesday, will be de-
voted to the same purpose.—Bath Herald.
THE O'SULLIVAN WRECKERS.—We make the
subjoined extracts from a communication addressed to the
Dublin Evening Post :—" You will be surprised to hear
that the Killyman boys are determined to keep their posi-
tion ; they are not be put down, or dismayed by Lieute-
nants of counties, benches of Magistrates, or any other
local authorities—' death rather than dishonour ;' they are
resolved at all perils to maintain their character. A num-
ber of those maurauders on Sunday evening last amused
themselves by insulting and breaking open the doors of
peaceably-disposed Catholics in the very neighbourhood of
the parish church. Two Catholics were killed, without
any cause or offence whatever on their part, within the last
two years, almost on the same spot, the one on his jour-
ney to the fair of Donoughmore, the other a boy of about
fourteen years of age, the son of a man named Hagan, who
lives in the townlands of Bovain. At the present time the.
Catholics of Killyman cannot rest quietly or securely in
their beds at night. The Killyman Wreckers have been
ringleaders in every wicked act that has been committed in
this country for years. Ask the people of Maghery who
pillaged and destroyed their pretty little village, they will
answer, the Killyman Wreckers.' Ask the people of
Anagha who burned their fourteen houses, they will give
the same answer, the Killyman Wreckers.' The citizens
of Armagh, to their loss, are also able to tell something
about the boys. There is not an Orangeman in Killyman
that is not in the possession of arms, and that does not
know how to use them as well as any regularly trained sol-
dier in his Majesty's service. Let the Government look
to this. While men are permitted to hold arms who use
them exclusively in the destruction of their neighbours' lives
and property, neither peace nor tranquillity can be ex-
pected."
THE SIAMESE TWINS.—The following is a letter
addressed by the twins to the Albany Evening .Journal:
On board brig Resolution, bound for London, Oct. 13,
183.5.—Friend Weed, we have taken passage for London,
and at a very short notice ; but we cannot go without
saying to you, farewell! This sudden separation from so
many kind, good friends, almost unmans us. We have
reason to feel a deep, a lasting gratitude to many, very
many, persons in the United States, for whom we€hall ever
cherish in our memories a joyful recollection. Many, many,
and most grateful thanks, kind friends, for all your atten-
tions and civilities to the twin brothers of Siam. We hope
to have the pleasure of sometimes hearing of and from you.
Please to make our respects to your family, and to Mr.
Landon, of Congress-hall, The Doctor joins in our adieus.
Yours most sincerely, Chang-Eng."—New York Paper.

It is said that between Liverpool and Manchester
the traffic on the canal has rather increased than diminished
since the railway has been in operation.
