atriotisin nor his integrity ; and

neither question his r-
vet we consider '•

Pres'_.tons, he might have all the virtues his
warrw in„ i,t
.c our duty to state, that according to
u
supporters attribute to him, and still be
disappointed in his oii
s expectations as far as regards the
deliverance of Spain. Our sole object is to warn him
against the folly of affecting a ministerial or diplomatic
caution with Juntas, or the individuals to whom he
may have to address himself, on the subject of Spanish
freedom. The safe course is to speak out freely and
without reserve. If MENDIZABEL. would emancipate
Spain, the Minister must be sunk in the man and the
patriot. All diplomatic cunning is treason against
the liberties of the people. The people themselves
know this, and are always prepared in cases of great
emergency, to fling those overboard who attempt to
deceive them, respecting the danger and destination of
the great vessel of the State. By openly explaining
his views to the people MENDIZABEL cannot go
wrong ; for before he has time to move an inch the
country will apprise him of the consequences. Public
opinion in Spain has outgrown the guidance of any
Minister, and therefore no Government can stand which
is not supported by it.
The publication of an outline of the new Constitu-
tion, would greatly facilitate the labours of the Cortes,
who, in the mean time, could obtain the opinion of
their constituents upon it, before the opening of the
next legislative Session. In the Municipalities it
would be discussed and examined Article by Article ;
and even the public Press of England and France would
afford some assistance in pointing out any defects in
the original draft. In fact, something of this kind
must be done, or the Spanish people will withdraw their
confidence from MENDIZABEL in a much less time
than they did from MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA and his
successor Count TOREN°.
The Paris Papers, on what authority we know not,
-state that the Portuguese troops in the vicinity of
of Spain have received orders to march against the
the Carlists, and that they are to pass through Madrid.
We regard this statement as an arrant untruth for two
cogent reasons :—First, because the Council of Minis-
ters at Lisbon has resolved that Portugal cannot, and
will not, directly interfere in the civil commotions in
Spain, without receiving instructions to that effect from
the Courts of London and Paris ; and, secondly, be-
cause M. MENDIZABEL has declined all offers of such
intervention in his address to the QUEEN REGENT.
There is no other political intelligence of any im-
portance in the French journals, with the exception of
what relates to Mr. O'CoNNELL's tour through Scot-
land, and on that particular subject our readers are
quite as well informed as the editors of the Journal
des Debats, the Journal de Paris, and the Temps.
The accredited organ of THIERS and GUIZOT gravely
assumes that we are on the eve of a revolution, be-
cause the followers of JOHN KNox wave their hats
and clap their hands in approval of the sentiments of,
DANIEL O'CONNELL. If the French writer meant
a moral revolution, we would tell him that the
conduct upon which he comments is the best proof
that can be offered of its being already effected ;
but as he only speaks of a political revolution, we
must give it as our opinion, that there is not the
shadow of probability of any such event hap-
pening in this country, during the life of the pre-
sent generation. The reception of Mr. O'CONNELL
,—the representative of the Irish Catholics—in
Scotland, reflects the highest honour on the Scot-
tish nation—now the main pillar of Calvinism
in Europe. Such an advance in Christian toleration—
such a signal movement of a whole people to a right
understanding of real religious liberty—is mare credit-
able to the men of Scotland than all the bloody
victories ever achieved by their ancestors over the
deadliest foes of their country. It is to commemorate
such victories that kingdoms should erect statues and
raise monuments ; for it is to such victories that na-
tions are really indebted for the blessings of civili-

zation.
The following are from the Evening Papers of
Thursday :
" Lord Granville has arrived at Paris, on his return from
England. Lord Harvey left Paris yesterday morning, for
Spain ; he is the bearer of diplomatic despatches. M. Bichat,
formerly editor of the Tribunal, was arrested on Tuesday
evening, just as he was preparing to set out for Belgium. M.
Estilal, his father-in-law, who accompanied him, was also ar-
rested without any writ, and conveyed to the Prefecture of the
Police, where lie passed a great part of the night.
" It is reported at Paris, that Marshal Bourmont had been
arrested by mistake, near Isclict, in Austria; but was set at
liberty some hours afterwards.
" The Pope's Nuncio has arrived at La Rochelle ; he is
coming to Paris."—Messager, Sept. 24.
" M. Bichat, ex-editor of the Tribune, condemned by sun-
dry decrees of the Court of AsSizes to several years' impri-
sonment, has been captured and imprisoned, after having long
eluded the vigilance of the police.
" M. Crevat, one of the prisoners of April, who escaped
from the St. Pelagie, has been arrested on the road to Cambray,
and brought back to Paris. Regular summons were served at
the lodgings of the other fugitive prisoners, requiring them to
surrender themselves in the delay of ten days."

BOURSE, THREE o'CLock.—The opening price of the 3
per Cents. was 80f. 60c. A false report; that Bilboa was
taken, occasioned a depression of 20e. ; but the 3 per Cents.
have since recovered to 80f. 55e. The Spanish stock is
higher.

The German Papers received this morning are filled
with trifling details of the review at Kalisch, and con-
gratulations on the harmony which exists between the
Russian and Prussian troops. The military evolutions
of the Kurds and Ural Cossacks are reported to ex-
ceed any equestrian performances exhibited in the am-
phitheatres of England and France. If this be true,
who can doubt that they are eminently qualified to
civilize the revolutionary hordes of France ? The
surpassing wisdom which displays itself by riding
upon one foot and uttering frightful yells, is
so far above our poor comprehension, that the
bare idea of it quite overpowers us. We are
told that the mock combatants throw small dag-
gers or dirks at each other, which they manage so
skilfully that they do not perforate the bodies of their
antagonists. What an admirable proof of their supe-
rior civilization l We wonder would they throw them
with equal precaution, if their antagonists were French-
men, and the theatre q thcir exhibition the Depart-
ment of the Seine ? •

We have this day reeeived a file of Jamaica papers,
to the end of May. The Despatch, as usual, is rife
with bad language. Its cqlquirl s contain little else than
tirades directed against the magistracy appointed by
the Government in England, for carrying into effect
the Acts protective of the slave population in the West
India Colonies. Mr. BOURNE seems an especial
mark for the envenomed arrows of ho4tility arid Lady
*ID. who is said to have recommended that
• - ehe abuse of this most
gentleman, is also honoured by _
valiant scribe.
