THE SUN, LO _ZION, FRIDAY, AtGrST 21, 1835.

Prelate observed last night, among other piquant I
absurdities, that he was " prepared rather to for-
feit life itself," than to be a party to the in-
justice of the Appropriation Clause. How valorous
—how disinterested I Yet if we remember rightly,
this same Churchman made this same remark in one
of his pamphlets against Mr. CANNING. He
was prepared, he said, " rather to forfeit life itself,"
than consent to Catholic Emancipation. Alas, we all
know how well he followed up his threat of martyr-
dom ; and the people may depend upon it, that his
present threat is just about as likely to be realized.
No, no. The Exeter Apostle is not exactly the sort
of wood out of which martyrs are manufactured.
Non ex quovis ligno fit Mercurius. The good
Bishop has too many good things in his eye, to
think of martyrdom just yet. The world will not lose
the benefit of his anointed presence, till he has lost
all chance of London or Canterbury. But were even
the worst to befal—were he really in downright earnest
to accept the crown of martyrdom, still we are far from
of opinion that the people would be inconsolable in con-
sequence. GOD knows, we can spare a Bishop! It is
only one clerical cormorant the less. Pray, what did
the Right Rev. Prelate mean by talking of the want
of public principle of his MAJESTY'S Ministers ?
Surely he should be the last person on earth to hold
this language I A charge of such a character comes
with the worst possible grace from the rankest apostate
of the day. But be this as it may, principle or
no principle, we can assure Dr. PIIILLPOTTS, that
the people will adhere steadily to Government. They
will sustain them in all their difficulties ; confirm them
in all their good resolutions ; and take care that they
win the day, even though the House of Lords should
be annihilated in the struggle.

In the House of Lords last night, on the motion of
the Earl of RADNOR, the Polls at Elections Bill was
read a third time ; as also was the Oaths Abolition
Bill, on the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND ; his
Grace very sensibly observing that, " in the greater
number of elections in this country, the administration
of these oaths was not demanded, and he believed they
were never called for, unless to gain time for some
political object."

The Orange Colonel FAIRMAN was last night
ordered to be committed to Newgate—a punishment
not worth speaking of, inasmuch as the imprisonment
can scarcely be of more than a few day's duration.
Hardly will the Gallant Colonel have walked into his
Majesty's gaol, than he will receive permission to walk
out again. Mr. HthiE, however, has very properly
resolved that the matter should not rest here ; and ac-
cordingly gave notice yesterday that he would this day
make a motion, having for its express object to obtain
possession of Colonel FAIRMAN'S official book. We
trust the House will be successful in its endeavours to
get hold of it, though we must confess we have our
doubts.

Brussels and German papers have been received.
Some alarm was excited at Vienna by reports of dis-
turbances at Berlin, which happily turn out to be
totally groundless. The German Journals are almost
entirely filled with accounts of the preparations which
are beins_, made for the great Review at Kalisch. The
King of HOLLAND will not attend the Review, as was
reported in the German, and repeated in the French pa-
pers of July; but his second son will meet the Sovereigns
of the North when the reviews are over at the camp, in
an olicial capacity. There is no intelligence of the
slightest importance in the Brussels Papers.

By the Mexican mail this morning we have papers
from Vera Cruz to the 25th of June ; they bring ac-
counts of the return of SANTA ANNA to the above
capital, where he was received with great pomp and
honours. The papers also state the number of the
army of the Republic, the expense of which amounts
to 9,372,875 dollars.

We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of
Wednesday, with full reports of the proceedings in the
Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday. On Tuesday
the Committee appointed to examine the Ministerial
project of law for the abrogation of the liberty of the
Press, presented its Report to the Chamber. Several
amendments were proposed, all framed with a view to
render the working of the measure still more atrocious !
Instead of softening down the harsh features of the
Ministerial project, the Committee has with a fiendish
ingenuity proposed clauses, which, if adopted, will
empower the Minister of Justice to suppress every po-
litical Journal in France. The Report of the Com-
mittee has already produced a strong sensation in the
public mind in Paris. The leaders of the Oppo-
sition are in a state of frenzy ; the Press
has resolved to take the opportunity now left
it to proclaim its aggravated wrongs, and the ingrati-
tude of its arch-enemy; and the people everywhere be-
gin to understand how deeply their interests are impli-
cated in the proceedings which are now going for-
ward. In fact we are fully persuaded that France is
fast approaching towards the brink of another revolu-
tion, and if the crimes of a Sovereign are in any case a
justification for such a catastrophe on the part of the
people, we are most sincerely of opinion that France
will stand acquitted of any guilt, in the judgment of
God and man, which .she may be presumed to incur
by the deposition of King Louis PHILIPPE.
The Paris Papers of Wednesday devote a large
share of their columns to the present aspect of
affairs in Spain. We regret to find that among
the liberal party the increase of crime almost
exceeds credibility. The misetable Monks—many
of them men stricken in years—are most exposed
to the cowardly attacks of ruffians shouting at the
top of their voices " the Constitution of Cadiz."
Of course we should be the very last to as-
sociate in any way a love of liberty—even to Repub-
licanism--with crime of any sort ; but it is a source
of deep regret to us that villains should succeed in
veiling their cruelties under the mask of Constitutional
liberty. The Journal de Paris published a second
edition on Tuesday, with the following bulletin, which.
is copied into the Morning Papers of Wednesday :
" General Colerby, Governor of Tarragona, has taken re-
fuge in France, in consequence of disorders in that city simi-
lar to those of Barcelona.

" During several days the Carlist insurgents have come to
disturb and annoy the company of Urban Guards; who defend
the bridge of Beholaia. Yesterday they attacked them in a
most lively manner, and fired on a French detachment, which
was in observation with ordered arms. One of the balls fired
by them broke the musket of a French soldier, and lodged in
his cross-belts (!) The Commander of the detachment or-
dered the fire to be returned instantly, and as the Carlists were
posted in the houses near the bridge, his two pieces of artillery
sent them eight bullets. The firing was nevertheless conti-
nued up to nightfall between the Carlists and the Urbans.
The latter had only one of their number wounded—the Cap-
tain, who received a ball in the foot. It is not yet known
what loss the Carlists suffered from the fire of the French de-
tachment and the two pieces of artillery."
The Spanish authorities have endeavoured to bring
to justice some of the insurgents engaged in the late
insurrectionary movement at Barcelona. Six of the
ringleaders have already suffered death for their mur-
derous excesses on that occasion.
Letters from Bayonne state, that on the 10th inst. a
second insurrection, more dreadful than the first, broke
out at Saragossa. The GOVERNOR of the city is re-
ported to have been killed in attempting to repress the
tumult at the head of some troops. The insurgents
then proceeded formally to expel the Magistracy, who
were obliged to quit the city. The troops were like-
wise expelled, after which the populace proclaimed
the constitution of Cadiz, and, in the name of the
QUEEN, appointed a Junta to govern the city.
There is no other intelligence of any importance in
these Journals. The Temps, in a brief article states,
that the trial of the prisoners of April having termi-
nated for the present, the diplomatists who had been
re-called to assist at the trials, will resume their sta-
tions at the several European scats of Government.
The KING has no fear of the absence of the other
Peers on the trial of FIESCHI, and therefore the at-
tendance of the mere creatures of his will is no longer
necessary to secure the triumph of the Government.
Above all, France requires to be represented at
Vienna during the Congress at Toplitz, that capi-
tal now being the focus of German intrigue.
It strikes us as peculiarly strange, that the

I French Journals should have entirely overlooked '
the Ukase, recently issued by the Emperor of
RUSSIA, for raising recruits throughout the northern
part of his dominions. The Ukase recently promul-
gated calls for five recruits out of every thousand in-
habitants, so that, at the very lowest calculation, Russia
is about to increase her army to the number of one
hundred and twenty thousand men ! Does this por-
tend no danger to the liberties of Europe—no desire
to unfurl the black standard of the North over the
highest minaret in Constantinople ?

BOURSE, THREE O'CLOCK.—This is another blank day,
with a total stagnation of business in French as well as Spanish
securities. The latter, however, are falling in price. A
total absence of speculation is the result of the news from
Spain.

We have been favoured with the following letter
from St. Sebastian, dated 15th August:—" The
English troops stationed here are already fit to com-
mence their campaign. They made a sortie yester-
day evening, under the command of Brigadier General
CHICHESTER, as far as Igueldo, but returned without
meeting any of the Carlist guerrillas. The Spanish
regiment of Jaen, and two rifle regiments, have just
arrived from Bilboa, whither they were sent when that
town was besieged by ZUMALACARREGUY. We
are waiting for three more regiments, and in a
few days General JAUREGUI will commence his ope-
rations. You well know by this time that upwards of
of 3,500 men are already arrived at Santander, which
will act likewise against the enemy. Lieutenant-Ge-
neral Ds LACY EVANs is expected daily."
