SECOND EDITION.

Kings as well as subjects,—governments as well as the
governed,—are amenable to its decrees. Its decrees are not
to be made amenable to the policy (f governments, or the
wishes of kings. If immortality could be attributed to any
human institutions, we should say that the simple substitu-
tion of the judge's tenure of office in this country of
quamdiu se bene geserit," for the old feeal tenure of durante
berg plac!to, bad added incalculable ages to the life of the
British Constitution.

In a country like Spain, still distracted by contending
factions, and not yet recovered from the exhausting struggles
of a civil war,—where military violence is the lever, and
roya!ty the machinery of an oppressive and sanguinary Go
vernment,—a Government, the action of which is only felt
in the fierce disorganization produced by the irregular im-
pulses of its resentments or its fears, it is natural to expect
that the office of the judge should be by no means identified
with the fountain of justice. We have lately read, however,
with more astonishment than we ought to feel, of a new ex-
cess of that irresponsible tyranny in Spain, whose excesses
seem to multiply both in character and extent in every
succeeding year. It seems that Senor VALOR, the judge
who presided at the recent trial of MADOZ, LOPEZ,
CORTINA, and others indicted for political offenc:s, has been
summarily dismissed by the Majesty (?) of Spain,
either in resentment for permitting that trial to
eventuate in an acquittal, which, if it be not
intended openly to affirm that law and justice are
mere impostures in Spain,VALOR could not prevent; or for
his having permitted the accused in the course of their
defence severely to reflect irpon her Most Catholic MAJESTY'S
most nefarious Government. Why, before any human tri-
bunal this right should not only not be challenged, but must,
in the nature of things, be constantly exercised by every pri-
soner who is not brought up for sentence instead of fur hear-
ing, in the first place—who is not gagged or deprived of the
organs of speech, or of his senses at the time of his " cora-
peering " before such jurisdiction. If he plead "not guilty"
to charges preferred against him by- the officers of an
Executive, whose acts he has resisted, be of course seeks
to establish his plea by showing in what particulars they
who persecute him have exceeded the law or their
own functions. The Judge, and the Commission, or the jury
appointed to try him, can alone be competent to determine
to what extent he has succeeded or failed in his attempt.
If they acquit the laws under which they were appointed we
must presume that they have fulfilled, not violated, their
duty by such acquittal. If they be punished by the Spanish
Sovereign for preferring to do their duty as judges to con-
sulting the wishes of her Ministers as the creatures of the
Court, we predict for all Spaniards a yet more terrible
humiliation than that which has been inflicted upon
them in the disgrace of Senor VALort. The next step
in the march of arbitrary and vindictive oppression will be
to visit personal, perhaps capital, punishment on such of-
fenders in place of mere official dismissal and degrada-
tion. If the Spanish people permit such a manifestation of
capricious tyranny as this to be directed, with impunity,
against one of the most important functionaries that can be
recognised in any civilised state—they are fallen indeed to
the lowest level of domestic villainage and slavery that ever
excited, in the countries of the neighbouring African C'oitti-
nent, the contempt or the pity of their Gothic ancestors'!

The only topic of interest, or rather amusement, iiithe
Paris papers is furnished by another letter froth that *dm-
prehensible character, Marshal BUGEAUD. His epistles
since the tad news from Algiers have been most useful in
relieving the public mind, and the last, especiallpi has
turned sorrow into laughter. This letter pretends to eXylain
the manner in which his first production got into a pekin-
cial paper, but most of the journals, according to Calienani,
" are unanimous in regarding the explanation as a mereitrick
contrived between the Marshal and the Governmiiit,' to
prevent the necessity of any proceeding on the part of.the
latter against him, and they infer that, as tlMJlarslifilis to
go scot free after this equivocal retractation, means will next
be taken to enable the Prefect of the Dordogne to *lain
away his share of this affair also. Some of ot4contempo-
raries, indeed, think it possible that the Prefect may be no-
minally made a sacrifice, but that he will be lardy indem-
nified for being made the scapegoat of Marshal
Generally speaking, the journals profess to be so Amused by
what they call the farce of explanation, that they are more sa-
tirical than violent in their way of noticing it." The Constitu-
tionnel thus alludes to the scheme for shielding both the Mar-
shal and his friend the Prefect :--" The following is a new
story respecting the famous letter of Marshal BUGEAUD. M.
DE MAhcluAc, it is said, on receiving it was so imprudent
which be now deeply laments, as to read it to a third person:
an intimate acquaintance of his. This person, considering
the letter exceedingly curious, and possessing an extraordi-
nary memory, retained it, and then wrote it out, and trans-
mitted it to the Conserrateur de la Dordogne. In this way
some alterations of no importance were ir.troduced into the
formidable epistle. On seeing the letter in print M. DE MAR-
ciu Ac, in despair, wanted to stop the journal at the post-
office, but it was too late. Whilst waiting for some other in-
vention, we leave our readers to judge of the probability of
this story." The following is the letter in question, which
was addressed to the editor of the Semaphore de Marseilles

"Marseilles, Oct. 13.

"Mr. Editor—l read ill your journal of this day a letter, which
lam stated to have written to the Prefect of the Dordogne. It
is quite true that, on hearing of the news from Africa, I wrote to
that magistrate, who is an old friend of mine, in order to request
that he would send me post horses at Excideuil ; at the same time,
I communicated to him the information that I had received re-
specting those grievous events. As I wrote amidst the emotion
consequent on first impressions, I cannot perfectly remember the
words I used in my letter; but I can warrant that those reflections
have been very inaccurately given by the individual who was
commissioned to make an extract from that dispatch (for it
is but an extract), solely, no doubt, as concerned the events in
Africa, and who must have taken upon himself to arrange in his
own fashion considerations which never ought to have found place
in such a publication. What I can loudly affirm is, that my letter
was entirely confidential, and the epanchentent of an old friendship,
which should have had no publicity whatever. I know not the cir-
cumstances that have made a letter, the meaning of which is se-
riously falsified, reach the eyes of the public. I deplore the cir-
cumstance with mutes les forces demon time et demon esprit. I
am, nevertheless, perfectly convinced that it has been done con-
trary to the intentions of the Prefect of the Dordogne, if net even
without his knowledge, by the agency of some indiscreet and ill_
intentioned person. I have the honour to request, sir, that you
will insert this letter in your next number.—Receive, Sic.
" The Governor-General of Algeria,
" Marshal Duke n'lss.v."

The following are other extracts from the papers

" Their Majesties and her Royal Highness Madame Adelaide
came to Paris on Tuesday at noon, and remained until nearly sik,
when they returned to St. Cloud. In the evening their Majesties
received the British Ambassador, the Charge d'Affaires of Spain,
Prince Paul of Wurtemberg, &c.

•• The price of bread at Paris for the remainder of the present
month le fixed at 38 centimes the kilogramme."

The following firman, dated Sept. 10th, has been addressed
by the SULTAN to the Governors of Saida and Jerusalem :
" The English Ambassador at our Court recently represented
to me that the English subjects and Prussian Protestants visiting
Jerusalem experienced difficulties and obstacles in the exercise of
Protestant worship on account of their having no church, and he
asked me for authority to erect for the first time at Jerusalem a
private church for Protestant worship within the limits of the
British Consulate. As the friendly relations that subsist between
the Sublime Porte and the Courts of England and Prussia require
that this application should be granted, I have on this considera-
tion granted my imperial authorisation, and in consequence of my
imperial decision the Divan has issued the present decree. You,
the Governors of Saida and Jerusalem, and the other fuctionaries
of Syria, when you shall know that I have authorised the esta-
blishment of a church for Protestant worship at Jerusalem, will
see that no person shall oppose it, and you will take good care not
to act contrary to my orders."

" The Archduchess Maria LouisaiDuchess of Parma, arrived at
Trieste on the 7th, from Vienna, and left on the following day in a
steamer for Venice, on her return to Parma.
" The German Journal of Frankfurt states from Cologne that
the Protestant Princes of Germany will almost immediately hold a
sort of congress by deputies, on the measures proper to be adopted
fur the protection of the Protestant religion.
" A vessel arrived yesterday at Davie from St. Domingo, bring.
ing accounts up to the 30th of August. They state that the
