tholic Church. Everything the Puseyites did was
right—they adhered faithfully to the rubrics, and
every ceremony offensive to Protestants was sanc-
tioned by these fathers of the Church. Even the
Archbishop of CANTERBURY, from whom they expected
some relief, dismissed them with an evasive answer; and
all men saw that there was a general combination
in the body of the Church against the Protestant
religion. The Primate of all England is generally
regarded as a person of a meek and Christian disposi-
tion—he is so quiet and imperturbable, that no man
imagines he can sanction any measures contrary to
his sacred oaths. Yet, notwithstanding several
appeals, he has allowed the heresy to go on increasing,
without taking one step to obstruct it, and has per-
mitted members of the University of Oxford—men
paid by the Protestant establishment—•to denounce
the Reformation as a great crime, and to advocate
all the most obnoxious doctrines of a religion
which he professes to abhor. These meek church-
men are the most dangerous characters in a com-
munity. While they pretend to be passive, they
are secretly encouraging egregious encroachments on
religion and liberty, and always find tools to carry
their baneful purposes into effect. To the Arch-
bishop of CANTERBURY, with all his meekness, we
attribute the entire blame of this lamentable divi-
sion in the Protestant Church. Of what use are
archbishops and bishops, if not to keep their clergy
in order ? Yet the Church is divided against
itself, and these superintendents, whenever
they interfere, only add fuel to the flame.
The only safeguard of Protestantism rests
with the people themselves. The Church is
bent on a march to Rome. The Puritans who
opposed LAUD, justly sacrificed on the scaffold, have
been scoffed at by all churchmen, but they manfully
opposed the encroachment of the clergy, and to them
the people of this country owe the glorious consti-
tution which they now enjoy. They denounced such
me❑ as PUSSY, and BLOMFIELD, and PHILLPOTTS, and
HowLET, and it remains for the laity of England
to imitate their example, and resist all perjured
churchmen who receive pay as Protestants, yet are
doing everything in their power to undermine the
Establishment, and bring the people back to the mos
nsufferable state of slavery.

Intelligence from Lisbon to the 20th inst. has been
I received, but it is not important. The state of the
revenue is every day becoming worse, and in order
to meet pressing wants: the Cortes were engaged in
discussing measures for increasing the taxes five per
cent. Some of these taxes it is said will affect Eng-
lish manufactures. In the Chamber of Peers Count
LAVRADIO called the attention of the Government to
the miserable state in which the widows and orphans
of the officers who died in the service of Don 13.6131i0
were left by the Government, their pensions being
then twenty-two months in arrear ; but the Minister
of Finance said that he lamented exceedingly that he
had no money at his disposal to pay these and many
other pensions.

We have received Madrid journals of the 17th inst.
The Gazetts of that date publishes two royal decrees,
by which ZURBANO is stripped of his rank and
honours for high treason, and he and his followers, on
being captured, are to be immediately led to execu-
tion. At the meeting of the Chamber on the 16th, a
Deputy put some questions to NARVABZ, respecting
the revolt, who replied, " That the Chamber might
rest assured that the Government was determined to
maintain order and tranquillity at any price. Gene-
ral ZURBANO, being suspected of disaffection, had, he
said, been ordered to quit Navarre and repair to San-
tander. He had given the authorities every assurance
that he would lead a retired life, and obey the laws.
The Government saw in him a General whom the
country had loaded with favours and wealth, and did
not question his loyalty. If they had called to mind
his birth, education, and past life, they might have
predicted what had now occurred.—(Applause.) The
Government is of opinion that, perhaps, it has been
ordained from Heaven that a salutary example
*hall be given to the people, and that the faithful
Spanish army shall not suffer the disgrace of
seeing their uniform borne by a rebel. It is true
that the rebel ZURBANO has proclaimed a man more
contemptible than himself, but he had not found a
single soldier to follow him, and he commands but
70 robbers. There exists no danger of the public
tranquillity being disturbed."

The following proclamation had been issued by
that sanguinary and ruthless chieftain, and it will be
fortunate for humanity if his attempt at insurrection
is thoroughly crushed. It is dated Najera,
Nov. 13 :

"ARMY FOR THE RESTORATION OF LIBERTY.
" Whilst the rulers of every constitutional country in
Europe are the guardians of liberty, we behold' Spain
oppressed, in the name of royal authority, by a perfidious
and mongrel band, who, in violation of the laws and the
sacred code, overstep all the bounds of their power,
labour only to promote injustice and venality, persecute
with fury the generous Liberal party, and stop at no in-
famy, imposture, or calumny, to attain their end.
" The moment you receive the present proclamation
you will communicate it, under penalty of death, to all
the authorities of the district, in order that all the
authorities of the intrusive Government may that mo-
ment relinquish their functions, and that the adminis-
trative authorities, both elective and judiciary, who pre-
viously exercised their functions in conformity with the
60th article of the Constitution, and before the promul-
gation of the infamous municipality law, shall bo forth-
with reinstalled.

" Whoever shall disobey this order shall be fined
1,000 douros (2001.), to be applied to the expenses of the
war ; and any officer of the intrusive Government at-
tempting to resist, shall be shot as as enemy of the in-
stitutions which the nation had conquered at the price
of sosacrifices. The same

Great interest continued to prevail in Madrid re-
specting the fate of PRIM, and the decision of the
Supreme Military Tribunal was looked for with
much anxiety. On the 15th Mr. 13m.waR, gave a
grand entertainment to the French Ambassador and
most of the Foreign Ministers. The Duke DE
RlANzmus, Queen CHRISTINA'S husband, better
known as MUNOZ, formed one of the party.
On the 16th the Three per Cents. were done at 27i for
cash, and 271 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 214 at
60 days ; the Coupons at 251 for cash ; the Floating
Debt at 64f on the Ist of December; and the Pro-
visional Debt, 51 at 58 days.

Most of the Paris papers have accounts of the at-
tempt made by ZURBANO to excite insurrection in the
north of Spain, and they generally agree that he has
failed and been deserted by the few adherents who
had joined him. The Journal des Debats says, "We
learn by extraordinary express that Zue.nAme and
his troop have been attacked and dispersed between
Burgos and Vittoria by General JAUREGUT, well
known in the civil wars of Spain by the name of
EL PASTOR. ZURBANO, with a few of his men,
seeks, it would appear, a refuge in the mountains of
Navarre, where the Captain-General of that province
is already in pursuit of him." According to the
Presse, all the persons who followed him into the
mountains of Soria deserted him in twenty-four
hours, disheartened by being isolated and. repulsed
by the whole province on which they had chiefly re-
lied, and in which they had made their first coup de
main. ZURBANO has OP I.c,
five or six horsemen left
with him. They 31;:e said to be his sons and other
relations, and
the Ebro by its fords in the environs of Fuen Mayor,
'With whom he is endeavouring to pass
flying before the QUEEN'S troops, who, aided by the
inhabitants of the couetry, are bunting him in every
direction. The Globe gives nearly the same account,
and the National admits that the insurgent band had
split into small parties, for the purpose of dividing
and distracting their pursuers.
The Messager gives the following '
from Otaheite :—" We have letters fr intelligence

right of search, and the evacuation of Magadore are
to oe the war-cries of the party
The following piece of news is given us as certain.
We have it from excellent authority, and yet we cannot
credit it. It is confidently affirmed, is positive, is true,
and yet it is impossible. Wo are told that M. Guizot,
up to the present time, has not obtained from Lord
Aberdeen the abolition of the right of search, He has
pressed and supplicated, but a firm inflexibility has been
shown him—the right of search will be maintained. We
declare that the thing is most unlikely. How is it pos-
sible that M.Guizot, who had so confidently spoken before
the Chambers of arriving at the desired result; who has
paid England the price of it two or three times over ;
who went to Windsor to celebrate the entente cordiale,
has not at least wrested this concession from a Govern-
ment with whom ho pretends to be on such intimate
friendship? It is inadmissible, incredible, and yet so it is.
However, we are not yet at the 26th of December—a
a month separates us from the speech from the Throne,
It is to be supposed that before that period, M. Guizot.
who has made so many sacrifices of honour, who has dis-
avowed our officers and all their brave seamen of
Otaheite, the blood of whom has been shed in pure loss
—who has put France under the feet of Mr. Pritchard—
who has evacuated Mogadore—s, ho has had it declared
that France was rich enough to pay fur her glory in
order to spare Abderrhaman the expenses of the war
—who, in fine, has made so many positive concessions to
Sir 11. Peel, it is to be supposed, we say, that M. Guizot
will finish by obtaining this modification, altogether of
form, in the treaties of 1831 and 1833. We therefore
persist, notwithstanding the positive assurances that have
been given us, i❑ asserting that the speech from the
Throne will announce the complete abolition of the
treaties of the right of search."
Marshal BUGIBA UD had arrived at Marseilles, where
he was received with great enthusiasm, and a grand
banquet was given to him in the theatre. On his
health being given, he made the following brief
speech, which, however, contains a great deal

" The conquest of Algeria is complete. There is peace
everywhere—from the frontiers of Tunis to those of Mo-
rocco all the tribes are in a state of submission, with the
exception of a few of the Kabyle tribes of the provinces
of Bugia and Gigelli. The most perfect security reigns
on all points. An immense progress has been made.
The revenues of the colony, which, in 1840, were only
four millions, are now twenty millions ; the European
population, which, in 1840, amounted to only 25,000,
now amounts to 75,000. It was thought, even a short time
ago, that the territory open to relations with us extended
only to the Tell—that is to say, in a zone of forty-five
leagues' breadth only. This is an error. We have now
certain knowledge that the Arab population extends to
a breadth of 200 leagues, with 250 leagues in length, a
surface as large as that of France. The Arab popula-
, Lion amounts to five millions, perhaps six. Here is an
immense future, which, perhaps, considering my age, I
am not destined to see ;' but as long as any strength
shall remain to me, as long as a drop of blood shall flow
in my ♦eins, I will devote them to the service of my
country. I repeat that peace reigns throughout Algeria.
Our enemy, driven from our territory, has taken refuge
in Morocco, and I have just received information which
I regard as nearly positive, although I have not yet any
official certainty, that Abd-el-Kader has dismissed the
small force which remained with him, and plunged into
the interior of the empire."
