The ,birth of this PRINCE: (the PRINCE of
liouttixt:st) is a circumstance to which the '
.g.:Yatest interest is attached by the friends of the
tioyal Family of France ; but we really cannot
see what increase of solidity it gives to the throne,
uo,eti we consider that the tine family of the
/juke of Ont.t.ofs were fully adequate to the
prt.servation of -the name and- honours of the
itourbons. Poor child ! he comes into the
surrontided by enemies who, we are told,
advised and attempted his destruction even in his .
mother's womb. • It is not likely that even his
presence will calm the angry passions of the French
people, or teach them to regard the govern-
ment of his family with less ardent hatred than
is now too generally entertained against them.—
his enemies are of the true Jacobin strain, whom
nu sense of generosity or pity ever induced to
iiesist from their enterprise ; his father sunk be-
:wadi the knife of an assassin, and the enterprise

him. He was born amidst alarms
and dangers, the blood of his murdered father
spiiiikled his mother in her pregnancy, -and the
' uaiiappy .Princess has ever since lived in a state

cluded from the eyes of strangers, taught to be-

-We received last night SeAstsu PAPERs to the
19th ult. It will be seen by
:their contents that
the ARREST of General RIEGo at Madrid and his
sLibSequent banishment created much alarm and
distrust throughout the country. Had not the
Goternment displayed -a happy mixture of.firtn-
tie.* and moderation, dangerous consequences
Might have ensued. But most Commanders of
places and provinces had fortunately imbibed
the same spirit, and in the line of conduct which
they adopted, did not go beyond the real neces-
sity.' of the case. Thus peace was preserved
ai:d confidence restored, without any measure of
greater severity than the removal of a few Offi-
e4i,s from their stations. The Cortes have lately
takvd a variety of important subjects into conside-
rition. A project of law on the liberty of the
Fress, consisting of nine heads and 76 articles, has
been read a first time, and ordered to be printed.
The minute of a Decree, declaring that every
foreigner-settled in Spain, and possessed of pro-

and obeys the Constitution, has also been adopted.
A general Tariff of Customs has-been ordered to
lie drawn up for the whole Spanish Monarchy,

Lint it does seem cruel that the lovers and patrons
of experimental innovations should forget in their
revels another class of persons who have made a
Leld effort to recover their liberties and give a
-Constitution to their country. The want of
access detracts not from their merits ; for they
yielded to physical power, and postponed per
force fln glorions design of liberating themselves
from slavery, and the land of their sires from the
despotic chains of legitimacy. Why then do the
2:oklenten, gentlemen, and ragamuffins of this fes-
tival omit the glories of the galley slaves of Civita
among their tributes of applause ? Did
not tiny rise in arms against the Laws and Au-
thorities of the State ? Did not they attempt to
burst their fetters, imposed by tyrants ? Did not
call on their countrymen to join them in the
sacred, cause of reform and freedom, of einancipa-
