THE HARVEST IN WALES.—Much injury has
been sustained in North Wales, in consequence of the wet
and tempestuous weather, having now continued during
three weeks. In the upland parts of Montgomeryshire,
Merionethshire, Flintshire, Denbighshire, and Carnarvon-
shire, the greater part of the corn crops is still not har-
vested. Much that has been harvested is in bad condition.
Between Ruthin and Wrexham several fields are not yet
reaped, and lamentable is the condition of numerous fields
of oats and barley that, have been cut many days, but are
still ungathered. Near Oswestry race-course eighteen acres
of barley are =gathered. A warning to farmers, in a fickle
climate such as that of Wales, not to neglect the advantage.

SPAIN.

THE MADRID PRESS ON THE
•
OPINIONSPRES I;ENOT
E OF THE COUNTRY., .1.
tte of September 18.)
(From the Madrid Gaz.:.
The exposition of the Minister f Finance to her Ma-
jesty the Queen Regent, graciously teet,lived and adopted
by the supreme authority, contains an entire system of go-
vernment, for it comprehends elements most e'ssOtial and
necessary to our present situation—to wit, the throne of
Isabel 11., the fundamental laws, the union of the Spanish
people, the homogeneousriess and responsibility of fhe Mi-
nistry, and the termination of the fratricidal war which now
afflicts the country, without other than national means ;
enshrinement in wise laws of the rights which emanate
from the very essence of representative government, and
which serve for its support ; the definitive and honourable
settlement of the situation of the individuals belonging to
the corporations of regulars, and the creation of the public
credit. Indeed, it appears to us that not one of the vital
questions which now agitate European society is omitted to
be touched upon in this programme.
It has been by some objected to this exposition that it
;6 nit sufficiently detailed ; but in a document of this sort,
in a Ventral declaration of policy, it is impossible to descend
to pa-rtiodar.:. It is enough, if it manifest the tendency
and spirit, ‘o,lcil is to animate the Government in all its
operations. The nail ieularity, the absence of which is com-
plained
be the, object of the laws about to
of, will natural)y.
be proposed nod discussed, And when the time arrives, the
subject matter of those laws Will be analized even in its
most minute bearings.
As a general principle, it is right to draw a distinction
between the end of Government and its ;nodes of action.
It is a duty to declare the first freely and wiihdistinctness
—as has been done—though in no greater degree than to
satisfy those inclined, to join the Government will be di-
rected. Hence the promulgation of the programme of
the policy of the Government, before the complete for-
mation of the Ministry. It is considered necessary that
the immediate agents of supreme 'power, should under-
stand the line of policy adopted, and the end to which
all the operations of the Government are to be directed,
before they form a part of 'the Administration. It is
indispensable that they should know the feelings of the
Throne, before connecting themselves with it ; for such
is the distinctive character of representative Governments
where the system of policy is first declared, and is followed
by the selection of men whose opinions coincide with the
spirit and 'tendency of the declared policy. But truly,
while as yet all the members of the Government have not
been brought together, and while one of them, indeed, is
employing in the Basque provinces his eminent services in
our cause, it is impossible at the present moment to publish
a detailed programme of policy, or to perfect the work of
Ministerial organization, which, even in countries further
advanced in the career of politics, demands a deliberate and
impartial consideration of circumstances and of men.
The modes of action, that is, the particular measures and
laws which have to be adopted, in order to insure the de-
sired end, cannot be struck out on a sudden ; nor do they
exclusively depend on the Government of her Majesty ;
for though they confide, and justly confide, in the assurance
of their propositions meeting the approbation of the Cortes,
with regard to those details the declaration of which is de-
sired, there may be so much divergence of opinion as to
render indispensable the modification of their measures, if
not in essentials, at least in points of minor importance.
And how can a Government provide against all these mo-
difications ? Simply by not descending to particularize, nor
offering, nor pledging what it is not certain of performing or
fulfilling.
The Government of her Majesty is firmly resolved to
ad; up to its programme, and this assurance should satisfy
those who are friendly to the throne of Isabel 11., 6:pub-
lic liberty, and the prosperity of the country. The means
of carry in these principles into effect will be developed
g
and discuseed as the Ministry advances upon its difficult
but glorious career. The maintenance of the public cre-
dit will be the paramount and constant object of the
thoughts and cares of M. Mendizabel : versed in those
difficult combinations which now-a-days form the ground-
work of the political porver of nations, he trusts that .the
experience of the twelve years he has passed in England
and France will not be found unserviceable to his coun-
try. Public credit, like a timid (I;unsel, flies the presence
of disorder and licentiousness, and iziggard of its gifts, dis-
tributes them only where union, concord, and the mild em-
pire of the laws prevail.

(From the Journal des Debats, and apparently written by
M. Thiers.)
It would be difficult to specify in what manner the pro-
vincial movement, which has determined the formation of
the new Ministry, has even conduced to an extrication from
the difficulties amidst which the Queen's Government seems
to us placed. If even we compare the condition in which
M. Martinez de la Rosa left affairs, on resigning, with that
in which M. Mendizabel finds them, the comparison will
certainly prove favourable to the former, though the war
was not prosperous in Navarre and Biscay. We think
that M. Mendizabel may succeed in his task ; but it is a
very heavy and uncertain one. The difficulty he already
meets with in forming a Ministry proves it. It is avowed
thai. among the men already-selected, or with whom negoti-
tions ii,;,vebeen commenced, there exists rather a unanimity
of feeling klian of system ; that is to say, that the happiness
of Spain, liberty. the union of Spaniards, the august and in-
nocent Isabella 11., are spoken of with an effusion of the
heart, but that no understanding has been come to as the
practical means'of securing that happiness, organizing dietliberty,
liberty, and consolidating the throne. That is clearly owing
to the arrogance of the juntas, against which a declara-
tion is impossible, and which must be induced to lay down
their arms, since to disarm them, or censure them for having
taken up arms, is not contemplated. Those Juntas, on the
other hand, arc at variance as to the objects they aim at.
M. Mendizabel's manifesto and expositions will be well re-
ceived by them, since those documents exclude nothing, and
admit of any construction. It is when ay application of
their contents shall be come to that we shall be able to
judge of the Ministerial system, if any exist.
However, we shall applaud the men that extricate Spain
from the present chaos, whoever they may be. We had our
own notion of Spanish affairs—our personal preferences and
systematic predelictions ; but the independence of Spain
has always been respected, both as concerns men and poli-
tical systems. Whatever may have been urged to the con-
trary, France has neither constructed .nor subverted any
Ministry at Madrid. It is-a justice to be rendered to the
able Ambassador to whom the interests of France in Spain
remain entrusted. Though we have our doubts about it,
M. Menclizalael is perhaps destined to restore the finances
pf Spain, to fix with firmness the boundaries of power and
liberty, to reconcile the authority and safety of the young
Queen-t; Throne with the developement of her subjects'
freedom. ?Such arpcars to be his object, and it is our
dearest wish. • The wak:s of affecting these objects are se-
condary points ; but Frakice: has a right to hope (and if it
should be necessary, she vv,auN know how to prevent the
contrary), that those means 0103 present nothing opposed
to her interests and her policy.

(From the Ministerial Moniteur du Commerce—a Journal
under the controul of M. Guizot anti his friends.)
M. Mendizabel is situated just like de Toreno, and
is now compelled to oppose the untraetable supporters of
the Constitution of 1812.
It is attempted to explain, and represent as a mere omis-
sion, his, impolitic silence with regard to France, in his letter
to the Queen. For our part, tine .do not put up with such
an excuse in presence of the pompous culogium he has
passed on England alone ; but the French Government
will
not abandon an allied and unfortunate people, launched by
the manufacturers of constitutions into a deplorable anarchy ;
and, in spite of M. Mendizabel's -admiration of a hazardous
system of reforrit, founded upon Radicalism, we are far from
a,ppreheutling that England would afford efficient assistance
to a reform effected in Spain under the influence of the con-
stituents of 1812. We have warmly inveighed against the
negative answer of the French Government to the formal
demand of an intervention twice made by Maria Christina's
Government ; yet, such is our conviction as to the necessity
of that intervention, that we have threatened M. Mendizabel
with France's noble vengeance, when he shall have ex-
hausted all his abilitiei in combating the two anti-national
factions. That vengeance he will have to submit to, if he
have to appeal to ti.o magnanimity of the allied Power,
which he has so disdainfu-1y omitted to mention as an
Theample of a generous, and, above all, a frez nation.
day that Spain shall be able to e.njoy, under the shield of
France, the slightest part of our liberiies, she will have re-
covered her rank in Europe as a nation, and to 14. ranee only
shall she be indebted for it.

The Fire-offices in London calculate upon one alarm
of fire every day, and 32 serious fires every year.
STRASBURG.—A violent storm has greatly in-
jured the magnificent cathedral of Strasburg. Columns
were sheltered, and masses of stone torn off by the light-
ning-, fragments of which struck the neighbouring houses,
and caused considerable damage. The cost of the neces-
sary reparations is estimated at 7501. sterling, Aiet
Com-
mittee has long been appointed to ascertain the propry
of erecting a conductor to this beautiful edifice, which has
been so often injured in the same manner, and now, proba-
bly, their deliberations will be conclusive.
During 1834, there were imported into Russia
300,000 volumes in foreign languages, which is
.20,000
more than in 1833. There were published 728 national
works, and 116 translations, exclusive of 48 periodical
journals. In these pnblications are not included 113,200
copies of different books for instruction. In 1834 there
were founded 94 establishments for education, including th 3
Univer?ity of St. \Vladimir, at KieW.
