LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 22, 1827.

The French Papers of Monday, and the Etoile of
Tuesday, have been received. Their contents are only
important as furnishing additional proofs of the hypocrisy
of FI4RDINAND in making professions of peace and amity
towards Portugal, while the Spanish Clergy continue to
foment the war by all the means in their power. Notwith-
standing their repeated discomfiture, they appear to he as
aPtive as ever, for we now learn by the Quotidienne that
"the Spanish Clergy have given new proofs of their de-
votedness to the cause of Monarchy, by offering to the
KING'S Prime Minister, M. CALOMARDE, a present of
600,000 reals (150,000 francs), to be employed in
the expellees of the war in the event of Spain
being forced to undertake to deliver Portugal from the
Yoke that was about to be imposed on her." Nay, it is
further hoped that this pious example will he imitated by
all classes, and corporations, in order to relieve FERDI-
PiAND from 'having recourse to Loans ! We have all
along stated that there was no faith to be placed
in any assurances made by FERDINAND, and every
het of his Government only confirms more strongly
our original opinion of his perfidy, and the bigotry of the
Priests, at whose instigation the aggression upon Portugal
had been attempted. So long as FERDINAND could get
loans from others, the Priests kept their money; but
Imw that the continuance of their oppressive
Power is threatened by the establishment of a li-
beral Constitution in Portugal, they readily furnish
money for prosecuting the war of intolerance. But the
reign of superstition has had its day—the progress of li-
beral opinion is fast opening the eyes of the people to
their own degradation, and the perfidious conduct of the
Government under whose jealous -tyranny they have so
long suffered in personal comfort, moral feeling, and
Rational character.—The Quotidienne also contains some
Pretended correspondence from Corunna and Ferrol, in
Which it is asserted that the English had been making at-
tsrnpts to incite insurrection on the frontiers of Spain, by
Means of the Spanish Liberals, and that therefore
FERDINAND, like a good General, hastened the
E" try of the Portuguese refugees into Portugal, deter-
mined to strike the first blow. But there is no end to the
mgenuity of the Priests, or to the perfidy of their King.
It is said that the Marquis de CHAVES has retired to
Valladolid and that the rebels were in strong force in
ra-8-04-Monteg, but this requires confirmation. Extracts
he found in another column.

Frankfort Papers of the 14th inst., and the Allgerneine
e"ng of the 19th, have been received this morning. It
4PPeara that the Russian corps on its march to the
Caucasu°, has received orders to halt.
It is
hut the said that FABVIER has taken possession of Athens,
details of the enterprise are not given :
