IfttlN, Au G. 16.—The Captain-General of Guipuzeoa,
M. Blas Tourras, who bears to liberated France an irrecon-
cileable hatred, has thought proper to interdict the entry to
the port of St Sebastian, to all vessels bearing the trico-
loured flag. He also opposes the sailing of those in port
who have hoisted those colours. Two Bayonne vessels
loading grain have been in consequence detained by his order.
The inquisitorial commission established here for inspecting
letters from France, and forwarding to Government all those
of a political nature, •continues actively its mission. We
learn that on the 14th great fermentdisplayed itself at Vittoria.

road from India pr., Rio Janeiro ; but as, they are

Great Britain. The Vice Consul of the latter nation being
desirous of conversing with the Captain of one of the cap-
tured vessels, the Velocity, went in a boat on board ; but the'
officer who commanded the prize would not allow him to
enter. The Vice-Consul insisted, appealing to his public
character ; but the Portuguese officer threw a pitcher at him,
and would have continued. to act with the same brutality,
had not the Vice-Consul retired in haste. He complained
of this conduct to the Government, and required immediate
satisfaction; however,• up to to the present moment, he has
not received any answer to his despatches.

MA DR ID, Auo 12.--The Cabinet Councils succeed bars
without interruption ; or rather the Council is permanent
since the events of Paris have become public. If one may
give credit to the rumours in circulation, the Council is di-

Cortes ought to boo-assembled immediately, a mean!,

1 - V ITTOR I A Auo. 14.—The news of the events in Paris
land their results have been for the Alavese a source of most
extravagant joy and delight. They are the general subject
of conversation ; and on comparing Spanish indolence
with the heroism of the Parisians, the former bears
universal blame. The inhabitants go even so far as to vent
vehement reproaches against the rapacity of the Government,
and Ministerial oppression. The mere sight of a sword in
Vittoria would be sufficient to make the whole population
rise, they only want a chief to direct them.

is not quite so Biala-

The intelligence from France to-day
factory as that which we have had to communicate for the
last few days, as it appears that the elements of discord are
beginning to be developed in the Chambers. The letter
of the Prince de POLIO NAC will be read with interest by
all parties ; and we hope its subdued, yet dignified
tone, will have effect on the minds even of his
enemies in France. The general sentiment of the nation,
we really believe, not to be favourable to that harsh
spirit of revenge,which sometimes gains a kind of credit with
the public, under the misnomer of stern, inexorable justice.
The French, when not inflamed by specious demagogues,
appear to be not cruel in their nature, but, on the con-
trary, generously inclined to lenity ; and, if the present Go-
vernment shall continue, we have little doubt but the prayer
of the Prince de POLION AC'S address will be successful.
If the Government are prudent, in our opinion, they will
dispose of the question as rapidly as possible ; for the
fate of the Ministers, if brought to a tedious trial, will only
protract the agitation of the public mind—and that is an evil
of the greatest magnitude, opening a vista of probable
misery, of which no one can see the extent. The wisest
policy would have been, to have allowed all the Ministers
to escape ; for what would the punishment of these three
or four individuals effect, towards consolidating the advan-
tages of the revolution ? absolutely nothing—while the
effecting a speedy tranquillity would have proved of the most
essential importance. Let us hope that the Committee, to
whom the appeal of Prince de POLIO N AC is submitted, will
view the matter with temper and prudence ; for France re-
quires, to borrow a phrase from the Doctor, at present,
anodynes more than stimulants.
We are apprehensive—dreadfully apprehensive—of
French needy genius, and French tendency to excitement—
for the one may act on the other, and produce fatal results. It
is interesting to observe how the greatest blessings have some-
times a tendency to produce the greatest evils. It is well
known to all who have examined the French population
in their own country, comparatively with the population of
this country, that we exhibit generally ignorant, un-
informed minds ; and they, on the contrary, minds well
instructed, and, to use one of their own words, spirituelle.
So far it may be supposed they have the advantage ; but from
that advantage may be deduced perhaps the vicissitudes in their
political history, and the singular vacillation from all that is
magnanimous to all that is degrading. Paris teems with men
of ability, and men of the first literary acquirements, who from
their numbers must be poor, and ready for adventure. The season
of popular excitement, is the season when talent, without
adventitious influence, finds a ready market. Let us
imagine a country with a population from temperament
peculiarly excitable, and subject to be excited by
those peculiarly gifted to excite. Let us imagine all ds•
barriers which interrupt in other countries, and have been
during the late reign interrupting in France, the intercom-
munication of thought, suddenly thrown down ; and we may
then be prepared to form some idea of the state which may be
now expected in France. One of the STUARTS' we believe
J AMES the Ft RST, said prophetically, that his successor would
" get his bellyful of Parliaments yet ;"—and we are not
without apprehension that the successor of CHARLES may
experience even some inconvenience from the liberty of tho
press.

On venturing on this remark, we must caution our
Readers not to imagine that we are adverse to the
freedom of the press. On the contrary, as we rejoice
in the great victory, winch ins been achieved in France,
so also do we rejoice in the freedom it has obtained.
But while anxious for its permanence,we cannot avoid perceiv-*
ing the difficulties which might reverse it, if the utmost pru-
denceas well as ability, be not exerted. It is our zeal in the
cause which produces our timidity.
