tes*nt ZAAlishmentXer yet had; and as such we say,
GOD speed his efforts !

The Paris Papers of Sunday are unusually barren
of intelligence from the North of Spain. Letters from
Bayonne of the 21st inst. state that Don CARLOS
was at Estella waiting the arrival of supplies, which
were to be forwarded through the secret agency of
France. It was also reported that the Pretender had
considerable funds at his disposal, and that the POPE
and the King of SARDINIA had mutually engaged to
furnish him with whatever sums of money he might
require. Now this we look upon as idle rumour. Neither
of these Princes are in a condition to supply him with a
single florin. The revenue of Sardinia is scarcely suffi-
cient to defray the necessary expenses of the Government ;
and the poverty of the Royal family is too well known
to leave room for any question of relief coming from
that quarter. And as to the POPE, we know that the
revenues of the Holy See are expended in the prose-
cution of public works, and that the navigation of the
Tiber would have been completed ere this, had that
Prince been in the possession of funds adequate to the
support of a sufficient body of workmen. That Don
CARLOS has been supplied with money at various
times, we well know ; but the sources whence he drew
it were neither of the States just mentioned. France
has been the right arm of the Carlist rebellion► from the
very commencement. France, Russia, and Prussia
supplied the funds which hitherto supported it. They
may, on some occasions, have made use of the agency
of Sardinia, but it was in the same way as a banker
makes use of the services of a confidential clerk.
We can state with confidence that the Pretender is
now aware of the utter hopelessness of his cause.
The trifling dissensions among the Constitutionalists
at Seville have terminated as little to his advantage sis
if they never had taken place. The arrest of Colonel
OSORIO, the tool of the central Junta of Andalusia,
manifestly proves that the people are determined to
support the Government of M. MENDIZABAL. The
Usurper has now no hope of support from any quarter,
and could he disband his troops without danger to him-
self, he would most Willingly retire from Spain.
The Temps states that the substance of the note
said to have been delivered by our ambassador, Lord
GRANVILLE to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, on
Monday the 19th inst., relative to the quadruple
alliance, was handed about on the Bourse on
Saturday, and was the subject of much conversation.
It ran thus :—" The Treaty of Quadruple Alliance
created special relations and respective obligations be-
tween the contracting parties. Amongst these obli-
gations was the imperative one of supporting, by all
its moral influence and countenance, the Government
of the Spanish QUEEN, with whom this treaty was
concluded. This treaty did not give to any of the
contracting parties the power of interfering with the
form of Government, which it might please the QUEEN
of Spain to adopt. A change of Administration in
that country could not modify the nature the en-
gagements entered into by the alliance. It was for
this reason, that in the present crisis, England thought
it necessary to lend all its influence to bring about an
arrangement between the Juntas and the Ministry of
M. MENDIZABAL. It was with regret that the
English Government saw that the French Ambassador
at Madrid had withheld his support and countenance
from this arrangement ; that, on the contrary, lie
seemed to stand in dread of it ; and although a frie►,dly
hand was not extended towards the Pretender, ne-
vertheless that arms and ammunition were allowed to
pass the frontiers into Spain, contrary to the stipula-
lations of the Quadruple Treaty."
Count VIGIER has addressed a letter to several of
the Paris Journalists, in which he denies that any such
disgraceful scenes, as those reported to have taken place
at a Ministerial banquet given by him, actually oc-
curred. He threatens to prosecute the Courrier Fran-
cais for a libel ; the report having first appeared in

that paper.
The Minister of War has addressed a report to the
King, dated the 19th instant, relative to the defence
of the French frontier, on the side of Spain. It is of
no political importance, and appears to us to have been
suggested by the note addressed by the British. Go-
vernment to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The
new arrangement will effect a saving in the expendi-

turc of the army.
The following extracts are from the French Papers
received this morning. We refer particularly to the
list of Journals under the harm of Government prose-

cutions :
PARIS, OCT. 24.—We have received by express the Ma-
drid Journals of the 16th, 16th, and 17th. The accounts
from Andalusia continue to be equivocal.
The Duke of Orleans is on his way to Toulon. He left
Paris on Friday evening. The Duke of Nemours accompa-
nied him Fontainbleau. The Duke of Elchincren, the youngest
of the two sons of the illustrious Marshal Ney, a most pro-
mising young officer, accompanies the Duke of Orleans.
The Queen of the Belgians yesterday received a great num-
ber of ladies. The Duchess de Dino, who arrived at Paris
yesterday, was among the number of visitors.
M. de Talleyrand is expected at Paris.
M. Thiers had a very long conference with the King yes-
terday afternoon.
The Council of Ministers met yesterday, at one o'clock, at
the Foreign Office.
Marshal Gerard has returned to Paris. He is seldom seen
at the Tuileries, and it begins to be observed, that the visits
of Marshal Lobau are also less frequent.
The Minister of France to the Germanic Diet is now at
Paris ; he has had an audience of the King.
M. de Saint Aulaire is positively to set out for Vienna the
day after to-morrow.
To-morrow will be a busy day at the Court of Assize. The
Quotidienne will be tried on an accusation of exciting hatred
and contempt of the King's Government.
The Bon Sens, already under accusation for copying an
article from an English Paper, will have to defend itself
against an accusation of attempting to disorganise the arn.y.
The Reformateur will have to argue on its appeal against
the sentence which condemned it. It is also accused of en-
deavouring to excite disobedience to the laws, and hatred and
contempt of the King's Government. The Charivari and its
printer, M. Gregoire, will appear on an accusation of ex-
citing to overthrow the Government, by publishing a number
of its Journal printed with red ink. Lastly, Messieurs Sar-
rans and Latapre will be called on to explain an enigma, the
solution of which cannot fail to be piquant.—Messager,
October 25.

Our readers will find, in another part of The Sun,
a letter addressed to us by an Officer of the British
Army, on the subject of an Order from the Horse
Guards, which appeared in this Journal of the 7th
of September, and which commanded the publication
of a history of every regiment which has in any way
distinguished itself in the service of the country. We
can only account for our having omitted a previous
notice of this important document by a repetition of
the old woman's plea before Minos and his coadjutors
on the infernal Bench—namely, that we were so much
occupied with the affairs of others, that we had no
time to think of our own. Unlike the old woman,
however, we have had more than the morals of a
parcel of flirts to watch over ; neither have we sub-
stituted the gratification of invidious caprice for the
discharge of our duty as public journalists.

No body of men in this country has such good
grounds for complaining of the past neglect of the
Government as the privates of the British Army.
Individuals among them have occasionally been pro-
moted ; but, generally speaking, their services have
been forgotten as soon as performed. The reason of

this is -very obvious. It is entirely owing to the
withering influence of an hereditary Aristocracy, who
for centuries have been accustomed to regard the com-
mand of our naval and military forces as the inherent
birthright of their younger children. There were
three ways in which brave men might be com-
plimented on their valour. The first, by flat-

tering speeches delivered at the head of the regiment ;
the second by medals ; and the third by promoting
out of the ranks the individuals distinguished for
their soldierly achievements and gentlemanly conduct.
Austria, Prussia, and Spain adopted the last of these
ways, to stimulate the military ardour of the troops;
while England meanly contented herself with reward-
ing the most important services with thanks and me-
dals—rewards which the more generous spurned, when
they reflected upon the character of hundreds of indi-
viduals to whom they *ere extended. The ardour of
our common soldiery has been constantly chilled by
the jealousy of the Aristocracy, to whom every prefer-
ment from the ranks seemed an invasion of some
Lordling's hereditary possession.
His present MAJESTY, acting in the liberal spirit
of his illustrious brother the late Duke of YORK, has
generously resolved to have justice done to the military
guardians of the glory of England. The tardiness of
a measure so equitable may be lamented ; but we are
confident that there is not a martial bosom in the
British empire that does not throb with gratitude to-
wards the Monarch to whose individual sense of jus-
tice it is wholly ascribed.

The Government, however, ought to be prepared
for more than a bare publicity of the distinguished
bravery of certain regiments. Where it is possible to
reward important military services which have hitherto
met with no sympathy, or where it is discovered that
individuals yet survive, the glory of whose deeds form
the bays which entwine aristocratic brows, it is essen-
tial Co justice that means be adopted for honouring
such individuals, and rewarding such services. 'Bet-
ter leave the veteran to die unknown to, or forgotten
by his country, than to excite just expectations which
are doomed to be disappointed, or to inspire hopes
never to be realized. We hate war—we tremble at
the idea of the horrors attendant upon it ; yet are we
devotedly attached to the best interests of our brave,
magnanimous, and we may even add, without exaggera-
tion, invincible army. It is because we consider such
a force essential to the preservation of our liberties,
and the protection of our commerce, that we feel our-
selves obliged to censure abuses, which if suffered to
continue, must detract from its high character, and

greatly impair its efficiency.
On referring a second time to the general Order, re-
ferred to in the letter of our Correspondent, we are in-
clined to think that the censure which he passes
upon the way in which it is drawn up is ex-
tremely harsh, and, under all the circumstances, perhaps
uncalled for. We have read over the Order very care-
fully, and we cannot detect in it the omissions which
his letter purports to point out. The Order does not
expressly say, that the names of such officers as have
received no other reward for distinguished services than
an honourable mention in the general or district Orders
of their respective regiments or divisions, shall be re-
corded ; but the whole tenor of the document goes to
show, that the omission could not be made consistently
with a fulfilment of the command therein contained.
But as doubts are entertained on the question by mili-
tary men—we care not on what grounds—we shall
here republish the general Order from the Horse
Guards, leaving to the public the task of examining
it carefully, with a view that justice-L-ample justice—
may be done to every legitimate claimant for military
distinction :

" GENERAL ORDER.
" HORSE-GUARDS, 1835.
" His Majesty has, been pleased to command that, with a
view of doing the fullest justice to regiments, as well as to in-
dividuals, who have distinguished themselves by their bravery
in action with the enemy, an account of the services of every
regiment in the British army shall be published under the
saperintendence and direction of the Adjutant-General; and
that this account shall contain the following particulars :
" The period and circumstances of the orginal formation of
the regiment ; the stations at which it has been from time to
Mime employed ; the battles, sieges, and other military opera-
tions in which it has been engaged, particularly specifying any
achievement it may have performed, and the colours, trophies,
&c., it may have captured from the enemy.
" The names of the officers, and the number of non-commis-
sioned officers and privates killed or wounded by the enemy,
specifying the place and date of the action.
" The names of those officers who, in consideration of their
gallant services and meritorious conduct in engagements with
the enemy, have been distinguished with titles, medals, or
other marks of his Majesty's gracious favour.

" The names of all such non-commissioned officers and
privates as may have specially signalized themselves in action ;
and

" The badges and devices which the regiment may have
been permitted to bear, and the causes on account of which
such badges or devices, or any other marks of distinction have
been granted.

" By command of the Right Hon. General Lord Hill, Corn-
mandin,g-in- Chief.
"JOHN MACDONALD, Adjutant-General."

We trust that no person will be suffered to assist in
carrying this Order into effect, who has not previously
given proofs of being fully competent to the discharge
of a duty so important to all ranks and classes of
British subjects.

LITERATURE.

CO WPER' S WORKS. Vol. 1.
Baldwin and Cradock, London, 1835.

Without entering into the disputes of rival pub-
lishers or rival editors, we may honestly say that this
edition of Cowper's works, judging from the volume
before us, bids fair to become quite as popular as any
of them. Indeed so far as mere style, and a judicious
handling of materials, go, we think it may not unfairly
challenge a superiority ; for there is no writer of the
present, scarcely indeed of any age, who can impart
such an irresistible charm to biography, by the rare
magic of a fluent, easy, and elegant mode of narration,
as Dr. Southey. Of him it may be said with quite
as much justice as it was said of Goldsmith, that
" he touches nothing that he does not adorn ;" and did
we need additional proof of this, we should find it in
his present introductory Memoir of Cowper, more par-
ticularly in those portions of it, where he describes the
rise and progress of that malady which perverted, and
for a season wholly laid prostrate, one of the finest in-
tellects that the Deity ever bestowed on man. It is
impossible to read this part of Dr. Southey's biogra-
phical sketch without a shudder, though tO a certain ex-
tent, and very judiciously we think, he allows the dis-
tracted poet himself to be the recorder of his own
malady. The Memoir is profusely interspersed with
extracts from Cowper's correspondence, a fashion
which Moore has adopted in his Life of Byron, and
Southey has done well to follow, thereby, breaking, as
it were, the still-life of a continuous narrative, and
giving it a vivid, dramatic character. With equal
skill he has introduced brief biographical notices of
many of the authors—Bonnell Thornton, Coleman,
Lloyd, Hill, and others—with whom Cowper was in-
timate, or with whom he was in some way or other
mixed up, in his early manhood, when he was a
Templar, endeavouring to qualify himself for the law.
The passing notice of Churchill—once a star in lite-
rature, and the idol of the future Calvinist's youthful
admiration—and of the famous " Nonsense Club,"
of which Bonnell Thornton was the " life and soul,"
are extremely entertaining, and contain much matter
that will be novel to many of our readers. The next
volume, we suppose, will conclude the Memoir of the
poet, when Dr. Southey will of course furnish us with
a critical estimate of his genius, which no one is so
well qualified to appreciate. The book is got up in
very handsome style, and embellished with two strik-
ing engravings of Cowper and his mother, which it is
painful to look upon—conveying, as both do, so vividly
that there is no mistaking it, the most unequivocal indi-
cations of insanity.

GOLDSMIDT'S 'V OW.

" I do declare most solemnly, that should it ever be my misfor-
tune to meet Daniel O'Connell in private society, I will leave the
room in which he may be, stating publicly that I do not choose
to hold, even indirectly, intercourse with a man whom I hold in
such intense abhorrence—No, never will I consent to dine in his
company."— Vide Mr. N. Goldsmidt's Speech at the Leicester
Conservative Dinner.

Tho' Brougham should beg, and Melbourne pray,
And the Whigs should, one and all,
Down on their knees, by night and day,
To beseeeh me to recall
That oath of oaths I took in pique,
O'er a flowing Leicester can,
I'd swear again, as I swore last week—
I NEVER WILL DINE WITH DAN

Nay, more than this, should I ever meet
(Which, God forbid I should do !)
The horrid wretch, in Square or Street,
I'll lick him black and blue ;
Others may cant, and then recant,
But that is not my plan,
I ne'er say " shall," where I've once said " shant"—
So, I NEVER WILL DINE WITH DAN ! !
No doubt my vow will make a stir,
And lower the three per cents.,
Depress the Whig barometer,
And shake all faith in rents ;
I heed it not ; come weal, come woe,
I'll stick, like an honest man,
To the oath I swore four days ago—
I NEVER WILL DINE WITH DAN !!

No, sooner than dine with one, alas !
Whose heart's as hard as a brick,
I'd consent to wear the ears of an ass,
And the horns and tail of Nick
My wits may fail, my fame may die,
(If such fame possibly can)
But again I swear, 'fore God on high,
I NEVER WILL DINE WITH DAN H

" Council Chamber, Whitehall, Oct. 24, 1835.
" Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of his Majesty's Most
Honourable Privy Council to forward to you, for the informa-
tion of the Chairman and others, subscribers to Lloyd's, the
enclosed copy of instructions, which were transmitted to his
Majesty's Consuls in the Mediterranean and Levant, in June
last, in consequence of masters of vessels not providing them-
selves with the necessary documents; and I am to state to
you, that such omissions still frequently occurring, from hence-
forth all vessels arriving in the United Kingdom from the
acknowledged quarantine ports, whose masters shall not have
provided themselves with the requisite certificates, will be re-
quired to perform quarantine, and to have their enumerated
goods removed into a lazaretto, there to be opened and aired,
as directed by the 13th section of his Majesty's Order in
Council of 19th July, 1835.
( Signed) " W. L. BATHURST.
" To W. Dobson, Esq., Lloyd's."
The following is a copy of the instructions to Consuls :-
46 Foreign Office, June 30, 183.5.
" Sae,—The Lords of his Majesty's most Honourable Privy
Council have stated to Viscount Palmerston that several irre-
gularities have occurred at the quarantine stations in the United
Kingdom, in consequence of Masters of vessels arriving from
different ports in the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and the
Levant, without having been furnished with bills of health, and
the necessary certificates as to the origin, produce, and manu-
facture of the cargoes ; and their Lordships have requested
that Viscount Palmerston would instruct his Majesty's Con-
suls to furnish the Masters of all vessels sailing from the ports
within their district with bills of health, together with a cer-
tificate, upon the back of such documents, specifying whether
any and what part of the cargo had been received on board in
free pratique from the shore, or whether from the Lazaretto,
or transhipped from any other vessel.
" I am accordingly directed by Viscount Palmerston to de-
sire that you will act in conformity with this instruction, and
that you will cause proper notice to be given to the parties
interested.

" lam further directed by Viscount Palmerston to state,
that it would be most desirable that all bills of health fur-
nished by British Consuls should be drawn up in the English
language.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have only an arrival of a French mail this morning,
with ship letters from Santander of an old date. There is,
consequently, a great dearth of intelligence in the City. An
express from Madrid, of the 20th inst., is, however, expected
every hour.

Lloyd's books exhibit several losses and damages done by
the late storm, but not to the extent that was anticipated.
