TION !

Now JOHNNY, many of your friends, will, no
doubt, be very profuse of their advice to you
iipoll tbis occasion. Some will sAy, " Choose

Whigs"—others may say, " Choose Tories."
Some will cry, " Vote for the Blue," some
" Vote for the Yellow-1" But I say to you,
I,l4Ntilf, vote fot those whom you know to
be loyal, and hones', and virtuous, and well
educated ; fur men whose prosperity depends
upon the welfare of the Coont,y,
their property consists of (finds, cotton-mills,
shops and warehouses, or personal talent ! On

such men you n►ay depend 3 and though they way
perhaps differ iu opinion with each other, about
sonic of the minor details of State affairs, yet such
difference will be wholesome in its effects, and
will be the best safeguard of you. comfoits and
liberties. Opposition you most have. it is the
breeze of political health. But trust not those
who ntakeOpposition a trade or a stepping-stone.
Judge of your Candidates, not by present pro-
fessions, but by paet actions, if they have already
been in the House, and by their private character
and public conduct, if yet untried in politics.
Trust not the needy declaimer, and spurn the pro-
fuse protniser. Ask not for pledges—past conduct
is the best pledge—but if any come to you who
have made great promises and done nothing, scout
them at ()nee, whether they profess to he Tory or
Whig, or whether you yourself' are Whig or
Tory. Above all things, choose men whose self-
interest it is to keep things as they are, with per-
haps a little mending, instead of fellows who live
only in ti, whirlwind, and - whose only chance lies

in a change.
I have said, " Ask not for pledges ;I' yet there

date—" Will you promise to raise no obstacle,
either as Landholder or Legislator, in the way
of a gradual redric•ion of farms, according to the

on an average every farming family consists of a

We have received this morning the Paris Papers
of Friday and Saturday last. In the Chamber of
Deputies on Thursday, the expected report front
the Committee of Petitions was made by M.
DUPONT de Mutat, who stated that it invludesl
442 Petitions against the new Election Projet
but it did cot produce
,the interesting discus-
sion Which Lad been anticipated. The proposi-
tion of the Committee was to pass to the Order of
the Day upon five of the petitions, the langusgeof
Which was disrespectful, and to refer the rest to
the Committee on the projet respecting Elections.
M. MESTADIER moved the Order of the Day, upon
the whole of the petitions, and this motion, after
some observations front M. JOBIiZ, M. CASTEL-
111AJA, and General LAFAYBTTB, was agreed to
without a division. In the sitting of the Cham-
ber on Friday, 141. RIVISR6 reported trout the
Committee on the projet respecting 'individual
liberty. The Committee proposed numerous
amendments-, having for their objects to detail the
specific offences for which persons should be liable
to be arrested upon a warrant, signed by three
Ministers, and to introduce a variety of regulations
fur the purpose of ensuring the publicity of the
arrest, and the bringing the party to trial within
a limited peliod. The discussion upon this report
was ordered to be opened ou Monday. The fol-
lowing-are extracts;—

NEWS FROM. SPAIN:
(From the Gazette dc FEUIiCt of Friday.)

" We have. trceived accounts from Madrid, of
the 24th February. They state, that dispatches
bad been received by the Government from Gene-
ral Joseph O'Donnell, dated Malaga the 20th.
" From Algesiras, Riego marched .upon Veger,
from whence he set out the 14th, to return to
the Camp of St. Hoch, passing by the moun-
tains ;. he marched upon Malaga, by Estepona,
where he had an engagement on the 17th with
some of the Royal ttoops. The 18th, his rear-
guard was attacked by General O'Donnell, near
Marbela. It had been announced at Madrid
that this rearguard had been destroyed, but
it is known that Riego entered Malaga the
18th, in the e%ening. The next day he was
attacked in the subtob of Trinidad, which be
defended during the whole of the day. In the
night he quitted it with precipitation to
porsue•his march to Grenada: General O'Don-
nell, after allowing his- troops some tepo.:e, put
them in motion on the 20th, to snatch against

Mega, all the authorities of Malaga abandoned
the city on the approach of the malcontents.
" In the three engagements which the Royal
troops had with the Rebels, the latter sustained
considerable loss, and General O'Donnell had the
oppoi).unity of experiencing the' fidelity of his
troops, whose bravery augured damns* success for
his Expedition. A new proof has arisen out of
these last affairs, that the inhabitants take no part
in the Rebellion.

"No courier had arrived from Malaga at

Madrid.

" At the Isla de Leon, every thing was in
he same state ; the last news from Cadiz was

up to the 19th. Several persons had been
arrested in that city, but it remained faithful to
the King; and the Insurgents continued to in-
trench themselves in clack position ; the can-
noniers, however, continued to keep up a de-
structive fire upon the works which they were
endeavouring to establish.

" According to accounts from Biyonne, dated
be 26t ii February, it was currently reported
here that Mina entered Navarre on the 24th or

25th.

(From flu Journal de Paris.)

" A letter from Cadiz of the 15th February,
contains the following news
" General Cruz was still at Chiclana
with the First Division of the Royal Ar-
my, and bad bad no engagement. The Se-
cond Division had left Poet to Real to encamp
a league from thence opposite the arsenal of Ca-
caeca. General Freyre visited the Camp every
day, and a 'battery constructed in the last war
had been repaired by his orders to cover it.
Lieutenant-Colonel Riego, after having levied
contributions to the amount of 10,000 piastres
at Algesiras, marched between the lOth and II di
upon Veget, from whence he appeared to wish to
return by Fredina to the Isla de Leon. There
Thad been no information since respecting his
march.

• " According to letters from Madrid, dated the
23d, General O'Donnell bad written from
Malaga, the 201 h, in the morning, stating that
he bad pursued Riego in his march to Veger,
and had had with him several engagements,
in which his ttoops gave proofs of bravery and
fidelity. The Rebels were beaten ; they entered
Malaga reduced to a very small number, and they
precipitately quitted that city in the night of
the 19th, sti,ll more reduced. General O'Doti-
