LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1835.

The Speech of her most Catholic Majesty the
Queen-Regent of SPAIN, on opening the general Cortes
of the kingdom on the 16th instant, has been received
in the British capital. It is a most masterly, as well
as a most important document. The Reformers of
Great Britain and Ireland, who have been so often
taunted with their, sympathy for a pseudo-liberal sys-
tem in Spain, have now the gratification to learn that
their efforts have not been misdirected, and that the.
.
Spawn Government seriously contemplates the esta-
blishment of a political system in that country, which
shall'have for its model the British Constitution. In
fact, the very germ of that Constitution is comprised
in the projects of law which her Majesty the. REGENT
informs the Cortes are about to be submitted.to them
—namely, a sound, 'system of popular representation ;
liberty of the Press ; and Ministerial responsibility.
The people do not want—the people cannot possibly
asklor more than this, if they would preserve the very.
beirifirra -Monarchical Government. Any system of
popular representation will, of necessity, fix the dUra-
lion of the Sessional Cortes ; the time and manner of
convoking and proroguing the Chambers ; the degree

of personal irresponsibility constitutionally appertain-
ing to the members ; the sole powers of the Depu-
ties to grant or withhold the supplies ; to impose
and regulate both the amount of taxes and the
.mode of their collection ; together with fixing the
qualifications of all persons claiming a right to vote at
the general elections. The QUEEN is rightly made
to say, that the elective franchise is the basis of all
representative government. Where this right is not
recognised, or where its proper operation► is clogged,
as it was in Great Britain before the passing of the
Reform Bill, there the people can only enjoy a nomi-
nal freedom. They may be free to some extent, but
it is only by sufferance. Real substantial freedom
can only co-exist with an elective franchise, fixed on a
wide and popular basis, always co-extending with the
numerical increase of the inhabitants.
The QUEEN calls the liberty of the Press the
" soul" of political freedom ; and this liberty her
MAJESTY guarantees to the Spanish people. So-
vereigns have been immortalized for the expression
of sentiments less exalted than this. The term is
most happy, most appropriate. We congratulate
Spain upon possessing such a guardian of her laws
—such a champion of the sacred rights of her people.
The liberty of the Press is indeed the soul of popular
freedom ; the vivifier of political institutions. The
QUEEN doubly guarantees this liberty to her people ;
first when she guarantees them an elective franchise,
and secondly, when she states that a project of law
especially directed to this particular object, is about to
be submitted to the Cortes. The first is the more im-
portant; albeit her Majesty deserves the highest praise for
making the liberty of the Press the subject of a sepa-
rate article. If the people he fairly and equitably repre-
sented the liberty of the Press cannot be destroyed by
any Government. What, for instance, is the reason
why the King of the French has been so successful in
abolishing the liberty of the Press ? Is it because
the Chamber of Peers is so organized that the mem-
bers are' the slaves—die abject pitiful tools—of the
Citizen Monarch ? Is it because the National Guard is
more devoted to the person of the Prince than resolved
to defend the liberties of their fellow subjects ? Is it
because the public mind was horror-stricken and con-
founded by the crime of FIESCIII and his accom-
plices ? Or is it because the people have such un-
bounded confidence in their KING, that they think
their liberties safer in his hands than if subjected to
the examination and exposure of public journalists ?
To all these interrogatories a negative answer must be
given. The KING triumphed because the people
were not, and arc not, represented in the Chamber of
Deputies. Could public opinion only find its way
into that assembly, we would answer for the speedy
repeal of the FIESCIII laws—for the ample freedom
of the public Press of France.
The responsibility of Ministers is the third great
political project promised in the QUEEN'S speech.
As this law must, as a matter of course, include the
responsibility of all agents of the Government, its
importance cannot be too highly estimated. In
Spain the utility of such a measure is much greater
than it could be in any other country in Europe. The
long minority of the QUEEN is an additional reason
why it ought to be adopted, with every expression of
thankfulness by the National Cortes.
We have thus far treated only of the reforms which
arc about to be effected in the constitutional govern-
ment of Spain. The part of the Royal Speech which
refers to the project for putting down the insurrection
in the North, without contracting a new loan, or im-
posing additional taxes on the Spanish people, is
equally satisfactory.
The measures which haVe been adopted for the
maintenance and education of the children of those
loyal Spaniards, who may fall in defence of the liber-
ties of their country, command our admiration. We
are truly happy thus to find the Government losing no
opportunity of alleviating the sufferings to which the
people arc exposed, while endeavouring to rid them-
selves of the presence of a tyrannical usurper.
The part of the Speech which details the-relations of
Spain with foreign countries, and her recognition of the
independence of the South American States, will be
read with considerable interest. The QUEEN is not
unmindful of_ the least assistance rendered to the cause
of her august daughter; while she most carefully avoids

all topicslikely Co irritate her more lukewarm allies.
This, in the present state of the country, is sound
policy. Reproaches would avail her nothing in the
way of positive good ; while negatively they might oc-
casion considerable mischief. We arc extremely grati-
fied to learn that the QUEEN'S government is satisfied
with our observance of the quadruple treaty. In truth
we were prepared for a very different expression of
opinion on the part of the Ministers of her most Catholic
MAJESTY. Flail our first expectations been realized
in the Speech itself, we should have rather lamented
the stigma cast on our national honour,ithan complained
of the groundlessness of the complaint made by the
Spanish Government.
We have not space for further observations to-day.
The Speech, as we said before, is a most important
document, and must exercise a salutary influence on
the public mind of Spain. In fact the Carlist insur-
rection, like many other temporary evils of the same
kind, will be the instrument of establishing a great
and permanent good—of fixing the rights of Spaniards
and of giving a new Constitution to the country. The
reforms which, in the course of two years, from this
time, will be established in Spain—so established as to
bid defiance to tyranny itself to abolish them—would
.not be recognized in ten years hence, had it not been
for the Carlist rebellion in Navarre. Thus, the riddle
of SAMPSON finds a perpetual solution in the work•
ing of all political and moral, as well as physical,
agency. The cater supplies • not food and the de-
stroyer sweetness, with more moral certainty that good
follows and predominates over evil.

We have received Lisbon Papers to the 15th inst.
They bring no political advices of importance. The
following correspondence between the QUEEN and the
Members of her Government will show that the in-
triguers who infest the Palace have failed in their
attempts to oust the present Cabinet. The Queen of
PORTUGAL is completely in the hands of a faction,
which the Ministers ought to insist upon driving from
about her. We are assured that her MAJESTY is
more disposed than becomes a constitutional Sovereign
to foster such vermin :

LISBON, Nov. 13.

" Most Illustrious and Most Excellent Sir—lhave the sa-
tisfaction to transmit to your Excellency the inclosed copy of a
letter, which her Majesty the Queen has done me the honour
to address to me, as President of the Council of Ministers.
By it your Excellency will see, that the repeated entreaties
which the Ministers respectfully addressed to her Majesty re-
specting permission to resign could not be complied with ; in
consequence of which, obeying the wishes of her Majesty, the
Ministry continues to exercise its functions, so that the motive
ceases on which your Excellency desired to resign the Com-
mand-in. Chief of the Army, which by her Majesty's order I
communicate to your Excellency.—God preserve your Ex-
cellency.

" To his Excellency, the Duke of Terceira, Commander-
in- Chie' of the Army.
" Having with regret agreed to the desire of the Mar-
quis and his colleagues who represent me in the Ministry,
who solicited me, to accept their resignations, and to the
same request made me by the Marshal, Duke of Terceira,
Commander-in-Chief of the Army, I resolved to call to me,
to form a 'new Administration, some Members of the Legis-
lative Chambers, whom I thought qualified for that purpose,
who having endeavoured to propose to me a new Ministry;
honourably declared to me that all their attempts to comply
with my order had failed.
" I therefore again persist in refusing the resignation

tendered both by the Ministers and the Commander-in-Chief

same zeal which I acknowledge in all of them.

INTERIOR:

" In reply to the representation which the Civil Governor
of Lisbon addressed, through this office, on the 11th instant,
requesting to be discharged from his office, on•the supposition
that the present Ministry had retired from the councils of the
Queen, her Majesty orders the Civil Governor to be informed,
that the persons commissioned to form a new Ministry not
having been able to execute the orders which they had re-
ceived, the Ministers, obeying the wishes which her Majesty
again expressed in the letter addressed to Marquis de Saldanha,
dated this day, continue in the exercise of their functions ; 50
that the motives on which the said representation was founded
ceasing, it cannot be complied with.

We have received the whole of the Paris Papers
of Monday. Their contents are unimportant, unless
we make an exception in favour of the diplomatic
gossip on the subject of a war with America. The
Russian Ambassador had an interview with the Duke
of BROGLIE on Saturday, but no complaint was ut-
tered against the " fire, and smoke, and bounce" ar-
ticles of the Debats. Count PAHLEN has not yet
received his instructions on the subject, and his mili-
tary habits are too rigid to allow him to act without
positive orders.
PARIS, Nov. 23.—A Geneva Journal of the 17th an-
nounces that the affair of Bale (the country Canton) with
the French Minister will terminate by there being no
grounds to proceed on, the sale made to M. Wahl having,
it is said, been annulled by an agreement between him and
the seller.
We learn from a certain authority that Mr. Duchatel is
at this moment inclined to give entire satisfaction to the
merchants of Nantes, respecting their remonstrances against
the ordinances on the importation of coals.
There is nothing important from the frontiers in the
Bayonne Journals, unless it be that the Carlists have at
Bayonne a depot of 300 horses for their cavalry, which
came from France. They have likewise received lately a
a large sum of money (320,000 francs it is said),
and cloth to make pantaloons for the cavalry. Madame
Zumalacarreguy has . arrived at Bayonne from Bordeaux,
and intends to go immediately to Spain. -
The Indicateur has news of the 13th ; it says :
" The new levy continues with the greatest activity ;
8,000 men are marching to Aragon ; 6,000 to Valencia ;
and 6,000 to Catalonia, whither arms and money have al-
ready been sent. As soon as the first two provinces are
cleared of the bands which infest them, all these troops will
go to Catalonia. The funds are rising at Madrid, and
the confidence in the Ministry was daily increasing.—

TILE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

At le-n7th we have the Queen of Spain's speech, and in ge-
neral it is looked upon as a document of great importance, and
does honour to the Councils of M.' Mendizabal, both as regards
honesty, and as a well-wisher to his country.
The most important feature in it is that without new loans
or any augmentation of taxes, resources will he found, not only
to terminate the war of the Factions, and to have sufficient for
the other obligations of the State, but also to ameliorate the
lot of its creditors, national as well as foreign ; and to place
credit on a solid basis.

This being settling day in Consols, the brokers and jobbers
are chiefly employed in adjusting their Accounts, which are
going off well.
Our express from FAlmouth states that the Queen. of Por-
tugal could not form a new Ministry, and was obliged to take
back the former ones.

Consols opened this morning at the price they left off yes-
terday 91.' a for Account and for Money ; Omniurn, 4b prem. ;
Exchequer Bills, 11 13; India Bonds, 45 ; Bank Stock,
210 211 ; India Stock, 2561.
In the Foreign Market, although the Queen of Spain's
Speech is of so favourable a nature, it has not had any effect as
yet on the Spanish Funds. Active, which left off 48i 4,

The Queen of Spain's Speech has not had any effect on the
Spanish market up to the present time, owing to its being
considered by the speculators as mere promises, with regard
to the Spanish debt.

We Ilve no further arrivals from the Peninsula.

The settling of the Consols Account is going off well ; and
it turns out a Bear Account, as they are borrowers of Stock
at two per cent. for fifty days. Little business is doing in either
of the markets.

CHURCH-RATE REFUSED.--On the 30th of Oc-
tober a rate was proposed at a vestry meeting of two-pence
in the pound, in the parish of Debden, Essex ; when a mo-
tion to adjourn the question for twelvemonths was carried
as an amendment, by a show of hands. But the Curate,
who was in the chair, insisted upon tendering two votes by
proxy for the absent Rector ! This made the numbers even.
The Curate then claimed the right of giving the casting
vote, although he was no rate-payer ! By such unlawful
means the decision of the vestry was overturned. A poll
was then demanded, which took place by agreement on the
9th instant, and, after a severe struggle, terminated in favor
of the amendment, by a majority of twelve. It should be
recorded as one of the Ecclesiastical abuses which have
prevailed, that in Debden, and probably in other parishes,
it has been the practice to pay, or expend upon the children
whO attended the Bishop for confirmation, the sum of nine-
pence each out of the church-rate ! On a late occasion,
however, the wary churchwarden, foreseeing the coming
contest, prudently withheld the pay, and advanced only a
smaller sum, under a private guarantee. It is high time to
put a stop to church jobbing.
The Tories, through the affiliations of the Carlton
Club, have been at their usual dirty work with respect to
the Corporation Act. In Hull and York we perceive they
have held back, apparently apathetic, until the latest mo-
ment for serving notices of objection, which they have done
en masse to the liberal electors. The latter, not "up to"

We are happy to announce that letters were re-
ceived on Monday morning from Captain Tyler, R.N.,
Lieutenant-Governor of St. Vincent's, whose death was
stated to have taken place some weeks back. That gentle-
man was in good health.
MILITARY FLOGGING.—James Ramsay, the ma-
rine, who was sentenced to receive 2.50 lasheS at Woolwich,
for illegally selling his kit, has died in the hospital of locked
jaw. Intelligence of the event having been communicated
to Mr. Carttar, the Coroner for Kent, he immediately or-
dered that an investigation should take place into the cir-
cumstances of his death. An inquest will accordingly be
held upon the body this day.
THE ETTRICK SHEPHERD.—With deep regret we
announce that our national bard, the Ettrick Shepherd, has
for some time been in a very delicate state of health. For
the last three weeks he has been constantly confined to
bed, and at this moment his health is considered in a very
perilous state... Glasgow Courier.

'keepers, residing in Oxford, from cutting the banks of a
stream in Oxfordshire, which supplied the paper•mill of the
plaintiff with water.
