detivered during the Ses,sion, and noticcs the great
prepqratioLs making for the reception of the future
F.ropress of Brazil.

New York Papers to the 18111 ult. have been
received. It would appear from the following
extract that a Spanish force had landed on the
western coast of Mexico, to the number of about
2,000, being probably the expedition that sailed
from Manilla. The defeat of BA RnA DAS at Tam-
pico happily relieves the Mexicans from any
anxiety with respect to this new force :

ANOTHER. SrAreisif IlivAstox.—lt would seem that
the report of a landing on the western coast of Mexico,
from Manilla, was well founded. The Vera Crus .N.C.10.•
CiOSO, of Sept. 21, says—" We are authorised to announce
officially that the enemy has made his appearance on the
shore of the Pacific, and disembarked at Port Angel, in
the State of Oajaca, advancing as far as Pochutis, about
20 leagues from Oajaca city. The number of his troops
is not ascertained, but, judging from the vessels which
brought them, cannot be very large. Our own opinion
is that this small force was only intended to create a diver-
sion from the principal point of attack. Be this as it
may, the Government has taken the most efficient trea-
sures for the preservation of this precious continent, and
ere now it is probable the new invaders have been com-
pletely annihilated."
El Censor of the same date says,." We know that his
Excellency the Vice President has received orders, at his
bead-quarters in I-In anantla, to descend with his army to
Jalapa; but front the above news, nevertheless, he has
probably received orders to proceed to Telmacan, from
whence he may succour Oajaca and that State in case of
need.

" As he has energy and activity, we have nothing to
fear, not only from 8,000 or 10,000 Spaniards, nor even
from 40 or 50,000. Opinion cannot be more strongly
pronounced against-so tiete4ahle a cause, since with very
insignificant exceptiims, all the inhabitants of the Republic
detest the Spanish Government."

We have received the following from our
?aril Correspondent :

PARIS, DEC. 5•
" The French Minhtry have, within these two days,

adopted a measure somewhat extraordinary, for the pur-
pose of supplying an antidote to the statements in the Libe-
ral Journals of the last week, which asserted in broad
terms that it was in the contemplation of the Cabi-
net to reeomm.nd the promulgation of an addi-
tional act to the Charter, in virtue of what is called

the constituent power of the Crown, for the purpose of
modifying- the law of elections, with a view to secure a
Mini-terial majority. They first published a sort of ma-
nifesto in the Moniteun conceived in any thing but
courteous terms, accusing the Liberal Journals of abusing
the public mind by the most audacious falsehoods, and
concluding as follows
" In spite of these seditious clamours, the Ministers
" ' will not deviate from the straight line of honour. and
'" duty ; they will show themselves worthy of the Prince
" ' who has chosen them ; they know his immovable de-
" termination to consolidate tha institutions which were

" granted by his august brother. The Charter is a pledge
" ' of peace to France, and a monument of glory to the
" ' Ilouse of Bourbon. The Ministers will strengthen the
" liberties which it consecrates, and will make the rights
" ' of the Crown he respected."'
‘• As the Moniteur is not in itself a very efficient me-
dium of circulation, the plan adopted for giving the most
extersive publicity to this rew profession of faith, was for
M. Mangin (who is still Prefect of Police, although the
Courier and other London prints have had him for some
time removed from office) to address a letter to each of
the leading Opposition Journals, requiring them to reprint
the article from the Moniteur, in obedience to a law,
which compels a public Journalist on the requisition even
of a private individual, who has been named, or alluded
to in his Journal, to print and publish the explanation
or defence of such individual. It is really quite amusing
to observe the variety of temper and of manner in which

this requisitio'i has been received by the different papers
to whomit has been addressed. The Journal des Debuts
does not atteml.t to disguise his extreme reluctance to ad-
mit the manifesto into his columns, declaring that the de-
mand of M. Mangin, on the part of the Ministry, is an
unreasonable exercise of arbitrary power. The new paper,

The Times, which profeses to be supported by seventy ,
members of the left side of the Chamber of D puties, sup-
presses the letter of requisition, but obeys the mandate it
contained, by inserting the obnoxious manifesto, but intro •
(hieing it in such a manner as to appear a mere object of
criticism in the midst of its usual leading article. The Con-
stilutionnd again takes another course, &daring that he
would not, on any consideration, deprive his readers of the
benefit of the new light promulgated by the Mmiteur, and
asserting in a note that the leter from M. Meuugin had.
arrived arter the mibisterial article had been for some time
in types.
It is row currently reported that when this measure
was agitated in the Cabinet of Sunday last it had occa-
sioned rather a lively discussion between Messrs. Cour-
voisier and Chabrol on the one band, and Messrs. de Po-
lignac and Guernon de Ranville , on the other ; the
two former having nrged the necessity of disabusing
the public mind as to the reports in circulation
' during the previous week ;—while the two lat-
ter opposed it in terms which were not quite agreeable
to the Keeper of the Seals. Thus the discussion rested
untirednesday last, When it was again taken up,"and the
propriety of the publication having been admitted by all
parties, the task of preparing the projected article was
entrusted to the new Minister of Public Instruction.
When produced, however, it was so little to the mind of
M. Courvoisier, as to create another scene of rather an ani-
mated character, at the end of which, as is very generally
believed in well informed circles, M. Courvoisier is stated
to have tendered his resignation. This rumour has ac-
quired additional credit ft om the announcements which ap-

peered in last night's Gazette, the one stating that
M. de Salvandy of the Journal des Debuts, and
of the society entitled " Help yourself, and Heaven
will help .you," after giving in his resignation
as a Codittillor of State, had been rector: d to his
functions; and the other that M. de Cormenin, a'member
of the Committee appointed to re-organize the Council of
St rte, had been named as the reporter of that Committee.
As both of these nominations, although ostensibly pro-
cee.ling from the Keeper of the Seals, are known to be
personally unwelcome to M. Courvoisier,it is inferred that
his resignation must follow, and M. de Renville is already
spoken of as his successor.
" The Count de Rayneval has just set out on his em-
bassy to Rome. He travels, it seems, by way of Berne,
which has given rise to a report that he is entrusted with
a commission of some delicacy, on the subject of the Swiss
troops in the pay of the French Government. A variety of
considerations make these foreigners an eye-sore in this
country ; one of which, and not the smallest of them, is,
that their pay and appointments are considerably better
than those of the native French regiments. if it were
M. de Raynevers commission to negociate for an absolute
revel of the Convention with the Swiss Cantons, under
which these troops are retained in the French service, the
measure would bring the Crown and the Cabinet into
some degree of popularity. It is said, however, that his
efforts are to be directed only to the reduction of the pay,
and that on the consent of the Cantons to its equalization
with that of the tioops of the French line, the term of
the Convention is to be prolonged for 27 ye,rs.
Although I do not perfectly agree with the corn,-
sponihnt of the Morning Chronicle, who speaks with so
much confidence of a dissolution of the French Monarchy
within a much shorter period than that of the Swiss Con-
vention, yet it is not to be denied that an undeviating ad-
herence to Ultra Royalist principles is the course best cal-
cul tted to bring about the revolution which this writer
contetnplates. It may be true that this is the last Royalist
3littistry which France is ever to see, hot things as extra;
ordinary have already happened in the wathl, as that
Prince de Polignec should himself bscome the patron of
moderate, if not of liberal, principles, which would cer-
tainly give a very diffrrent aspect to the stability of the
House of Bourbon from that which it at present enjoys."

We have received much instruction from an
article on the present state of Spain, in the last
number of the Foreign Quarterly Review,
