LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 16, 1829.

The Election of a Member for the University
of Cambridge commences this day. Mr. CAVEN-
DISH is the popular candidate, and has for his
supporters all the intellect, the respectability, the
rank and Whiggism of the University. Mr.
BANKES on the contrary—poor Mr. BANKES—
the lost hope of the Ultras—the straw at which

the drowning Intulerants catch, as though it were
(and the mistake is natural) a block of wood—
Mr. BANKES is upheld by those stiff pedan-
tic divines and schoolnien, whose principles
are as old fashioned as their coats, and
who for the last twenty or thirty years have
known little more of the world than what

they may have been able to glean within the
walls of their Colleges, or the narrow limits ,of
:heir Rectories. The %Try sight of these Uni-

versity Ultras is a curiosity; they arc formal,
simple-minded, self-opinionated, and incurably-

intolerant anomalies, mesa who have little in corn •
mon with the world, but the mere faculty of
breathing, and who, over their choice wines in
the Combination-room—a place of sacred re-
sort, which they arc far too orthodox to
neglect—are in the daily habit of 'nosing over, the
High Church principles of PITT, and that
promising young statesman, ELDON.

And these are :the Electors—these the Nes-
tors on whose shouliers Mr. BANKES is to be
born triumphantly to St. Stephen's ! Absurd
idea! We entreat our readers only to take a
peep at these grotesque incarnations of intoler-
ance. We intreat them only to put themselves

inside the Telegraph, hurry down to Cambridge,
which they will reach at a most convenient op-
portunity, and if, after an attentive scrutiny into
the different persons, manners, modes of thought,
and habits of life of Mr. BANKES'S supporters,
they still pronounce them fit judges of what a
representative for Cambridge should be ; we
agree with all our heart and soul to eat them.

The Paris Papers contain no news from the
theatre of war in the east, but they have some
particulars of a late attempt to foment a partial
revolution in that focus of sedition, Catalonia,
in the west of Europe. The real grounds for
this affair -seem to have originated in a base
scheme planned by Count D'ESPAGNE for en-
trapping
General MILANS, and other Constitu-
tionalists of distinction, who had sought and
found an asylum in France from the persecution
of FERDINAND and his " beloved" tools. The
following is an extract respecting this affair:—

(From the Journal du Commerce of Saturday.)
Pants, Jumg 12.—The Journal of Perpigndu pub-
lishes the following note respecting the arrest of General
Milans ,
Some Spaniards were surprised and arrested on/ the
34 instant in a barn situated at the foot of a mount/tin of
the Albires, near the commune of La Roque, wh;elt bor-
ders on Spain. They were seven in nurrstr' ar4ed with
guns and pistols. Among them was General leAilans, who
there was reason to suppose was at IMontpelie;;.
It was known that insurrectionary traOvements had
taken place at some parts of the frontier/ of Catalonia.
Some bands had even been seen on the top y the mountains
and alarming reports calculated to paralise our commer-
cial intercourse with that cout4ry en itinually circulated
on the frontier of the Eatern Pre .s. !Measures of
pm-out:on had been ordered for som , jAys put by Daros

Romain, Prefect of the Department, in order to calm the
minds of the people, and to prevent any interruption
public security, or any violation of the territory. This
magistrate was making an excursion to convince himself of
the execution of his orders, and happened to he .at La
Roque at the time when General Mantis was arrested.
The latter was conveyed in a carriage to Perpignan, and
lodged in the infirmary of Dr. Carcasonne."

The insurrection spoken of in this note, on the Spanish
territory, bad rather a serious appearance. It is said that
the inhabitants of Massanet, Agullana, Darrius, St. Lau-
rent de la Mouga, Campredon, &c. had taken arms, and
that the stone of the constitution had been set up at Man-
resa ; but, on the other hand, the Count d'Espagne was
on the frontier with a force sufficiently considerable to ex-
cite fears that this attempt might have fatal consequences
for those who may have been engaged in it.
(The Gazette de France and the Messager des Chain-
bres contain no foreign news.)
