LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16, 1835.

. We direct the particular attention of our readers to
one of the most flagrant acts of oppression tow"4rds the
wife of a British officer of distinguished neat and un-
spotted character, that the Emperor WitHoLAs—or
the Northern NERO, as he is more appropriately
Ityled—has yet dared to perpetrate. The lady in
question received a short time since, while ill in bed
Of a chronic disorder of a peculiarly lingering and
painful nature, a notification from the Russian Go-
' Vernment at Paris, to the effect that she must, without
a moment's delay, repair to St. Petersburgh. Vain
were the physicians' tertificates that it would be im-
possible for her to survive the journey ; vain their ex-
press declarations that the inclemency of the season
forbade all hope of her ever reaching the Russian
frontier ; the Tartar Ukase must be obeyed ; and when
it was found that, from sheer physical infirmity, the
lady—who, we should observe, is of high rank in
her own country—was utterly unable to' obey it ;
what was the course pursued by NICHOLAS—the
humane, compassionate, cruelly belied NICHOLAS, as
the sycophantic Tories tall him ?. Why, neither more
• nor less than this at once seized on all her im-
mense Russian estates ; and thereby, with a single
stroke of his leen, reduced her to the condition of a
pauper, de pendant from day to day on the paltry sums
which, in. his exceeding condescension and benevolence
he yetfpermits-L—though how long this permission will
continue, Heaven knows I—to be transmitted to her
from a portion of the estates legally inherited from her
mother ! And this act of atrocious tyranny has been
put in force against the unfortunate Lady, because she
happens to have for her husband an officer of high
rank in the British Army, who is a Reformer, and at
the same time a staunch, and not unsuccessful, advo-
cate of the policy of the present Government ! Is this
to be endured ? Unhesitatingly, let what will ha e'ne
consequences, we say, No I In the person of :,1„-is Gal-
lant Officer, through 'the medium of 3:1 is wife, a„
affront has been put upon British b(anour, for which
Ministers must call Nic"LA`e
account. If t to the strictest
he y P°sse&`, a spark of true
manly . feeling, they will not hesitate an instant.
What I seize upon. tt,
:te estates of a Russian lady of
the very highest rank subject her to disgrace and
contimilly ; redeuce her to the condition of a mere
pauper ; drag her from a sick bed, at the most incle-
ment season of the year ;—what 1 heap up these accu-
mulated wrongs upon her head, for no other reason than
because her husband is a British Field-officer, and of
high repute among the Reformers of England ? Im-
possible ! It must not—it shall not be endured It
is not an individual only who is insulted by such bru-
tality on the part of the CZAR ; the English dia-
meter is insulted by it. A direct—del berate stigma
is cast upon the whole body of/Reformers, whether
high or low, rich or poor ; whether in the Mi-
nistry or out of the Ministry, greater than
any that has been put upon them, by even
the most hostile of the Continental Cabinets. It
ts- absurd to say that NICHOLAS intended to direct his
engeauce against an individual only. The whole facts of
ase prove otherwise. He intended by it to show the
tercontempt in which be holds the Reform Government
t'atEnePdande and that be will lose no opportunity of
von.?
_eet
xtpr6sing that contemptin whatever manner he thinks '
I:Mosteoffensive, because he feels convinced that he may
with impunity. But Lord DURIIAIq, we trust,

and

will read him a different lesson ; and impress upon the
mind of the Russian bully, the wholesome fact, that
for affronts, far less ;Ilan this, England has ere now
gone to war. Thank heaven, we are not yet reduced to
Such a state of humiliation that we must perforce submit
to every insult that a Russian despot may think fit to
inflict on us. Ye are not yet the dying lion, to be
kicked with impunity by the hOofs of the ass. England
is not Poland, nor are the. rights of a British officer to
be trampled • on, as though they were • those of • a
Czn RTO RYSK I. Never yet was there an act of despotism
that called for speedier retribution than the one we
have just recounted. The names (:f the parties interested
arc not unknown to us ; but for the present, we suppress
all mention of them, in the hope that Lord PA L M ER-
STON—who, we suspect, knows quite as well as we can
tell him, all the facts of the casemay interfere with
that prompt energy which becomes a Reform Minister
holding his high rank in a British Cabinet.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Monday have
been received, together with the Evening Papers dated
yesterday. The Gazette de France assures us that
the Opposition in the Chamber of Deputies is re-
solved, when Ministers come forward to demand an
extraordinary 'credit for the naval armaments, to move
as an amendment, that Ministers shall set aside 17lie
twenty-five millions of francs, voted in 'payment of
the American debt, as a fund, frz
tare indemnifica-
tion of French trade, fes' any losses incurred in
consequence of hostiliti'l:s with the United States. We
cannot believe thv there is a Deputy in France who
would. darn 4:(3 move such a proposition in the repro-
sentati
",e assembly of the nation. MARAT, r
Cau-
l'doN, and ROBESPIERRE made propositions more
atrocious : but none of them made any to claim pre-
cedence of this in point of dishonesty and bail faith.
We cannot believe that any member of the Chamber
of Deputies could be such a knave or an idiot as
to conceive it possible, that America could cancel
a debt by endeavouring to enforce its recovery. France
may withhold payment, it is true ; but she cannot fret-
, cel the obligation to discharge a debt, which she has
freely and spontaneously admitted to be due to the
United States. With respect to this question, the
Government of France appears to labour under a
strange delusion. BROGLIE, GUIZOT, and TITTERS
—all men of talent and of an order of mind superior
to their colleagues—cannot be presumed ignorant of
the fact that it is the first duty- of France to pay the
debt ; after which she may demand, and if powerful
enough, compel what explanations she pleases. It is
the merest moonshine to expect that America will
make concessions before the receipt of the debt, which
provoked her menaces against France. With respect
to the amendment of General VIIPAGE, foolishly
sanctioned by the Chamber of Peers, and which re-
quired an explanation of the PRESIDENT'S Message to
Congress before the payment of any part of the in-
demnity,,we find the following commentary in a
New York Ministerial print of the 18th ult., and
which is said to express the thoughts, if not the pre-
cise language, of the President
" We cannot conceive of o,:ay propositizm more insulting'
to the Chief Magistrate or to the nation. Has he not
already twice made this same declaration ? Was it
not contained in t'nat very message which the French
have seized upon as a pretence to continue their mon-
strous swindling Was it not contained in the full and
public approbation of Mr. Livingston's letter ? Is the
President now to be called on to make it a third time
in his coming message ? and if the French Government
were to say, as they might with as much reason as dictates
their present conduct, We cannot receive this, the
assurance must be made directly to us,' then, no doubt, the
-Opposition Press would be found urging the Chief Magi-
strate to make it a fourth time, rather than plunge the na-
tion into a war about a matter of form'—'a mere quibble.'
It is not a matter of form, it-is not a quibble—national ho-
nour and national interest are at stake. Mr. Livingston's
letter was the last step towards conciliation on our part—
this was the unanin-tous, as we doubt not it will be the
abiding, sentiment of the people. If the President can be
credited withe,ut repetition, the French would already be
satisfied ; and if not, we see no limit to the renewal of their
demands of satisfaction.
" As to the French King, his conduct to us has been
Pr.-deisely the same as towards his own subjects, and there-
fore perhaps we have no good reason to complain. His
reign has been one succession of broken promises and vio-
lated engagements. The patriots who elevated him to the
throne, and who have all long since fled the contamination
of his system—the shade of Lafayette, who was killed by
his misplaced confidence—an oppressed and army-ridden
kingdom—a crushed people, and an annihilated press, bear
equal witness with America to his falsehood and violence—
to his scorn of pledges and his contempt of honour.
" If we must come to it, then, let us abandon the treaty,
pay our citizens, and hide our diminished heads ; but, for
the love of common sense, do not let us befool ourselves
in the eyes of Europe by talking of the good faith of Louis
Philippe."
Now all the world must see that the Americans
have justice on their aide; and consequently are not
likely to be the first to make concessions. In fact,
*England must assume the mediatorship between these
menacing and angry belligerent's. Neither will yield
of their own accord ; and, as we are opposed to a di-
vision of the Liberal strength in the West of Europe,
we must prevent any hostilities which would divert
the armed power of France against any Go-
vernment or nation, but that of Russia. Hence-
forth, therefore, when treating on the American.
indemnity question, we shall address ourselves exclu•
sively to the British Cabinet.
There is no news from the North of Spain. A tele-
graphic dispatch has been received from Bayonne, con-
firming the announcement which happened in The
Sun of yesterday, that DON CARLOS was obliged to
raise the Siege of St. Sebastian.
" Considering that it is an act of justice to give a public
testimony of gratitude for eminent services performed to the
country—to concede honours, and to invest with all rights,
civil and political, the illustrious citizen who has established
them by his genius, defended them by his valour, and pre-
served them by his virtues—
" Art. 1. The national representation votes a solemn act
of thanks, in the name of the country, to the most worthy
General :fuan Jose Flores, as the founder, defender, and
PresonTr of the Republic.
2. He is declared the first citizen of the Ecuador, and
in the full enjoyment of all the rights which belong to an
Ecuadorian by birth.
" 3. He is named General-in-Chief with all the honours,
distinctions, and prerogatives which the old laws of Colom-
bia concede to that post.
" 4. This appointment does not re-establish in the Re-
public the rank of General-in-Chief, and is only conferred
as a special favour conceded to the merit of General Flores.
5. The present decree will be registered in all the ofOces
municipalities of the Republic.
" This is commun:-.:ated to the ExecutiVe authority for
its execution and fulfilment.

" Given in the Hall of the Sessions, in the city of Am.
bate, the 30th of July, 1535."

PARIS, DEC. 14.—A postcript to the Memorial tics
Pyrenees says :—" Without its being precisely known. for
what reason the greater part of the Carlist Artillery has
abandoned the siege (of St. Sebastian), and has hastily
departed with four battalions, only 1,500. men remain be-
fore the place. It is said that Espartero, with 9,000
men, is coming to the relief of St. Sebastian, and that the
Carlists have felt the necessity of concentrating their forces
aVOnate to receive him."

The Sentinelle has the following postcript of the 10th :
"M. Silhouette, Captain of the French Chassee Maree,
St. Martin, N. :2, of Bayonne, who left St. Sebastian yes-
terday morning at 9 o'clock, and arrived here at 4 o'clock,
states, that the bombardment had ceased on Sunday, but
that it would recommence on the day of his departure.
" A. bomb fell into the house of the Consul, and passed
through two apartments.
" The death of Captain Hardy is confirmed.
" The Carlist troops are very numerous about St. Se-
bastian.

" The French Consul at St. Sebastian told M. Silhouette
that he could not answer for him for more than four days.
He was not able to land the whole of his cargo.
"A letter from Perpignan of 7th December says, that the
Navarrese soldiers of Don Carlos have refused to serve in
Catalonia, and have mutinied against their officers. An in-
tercepted letter written by Torres, one of the Carlist chiefs,
contains several reproaches against two other chiefs,
