army, which it is absolutely resolved to make ad-
vance towards the frontiers of Portugal. But it
listens, to a more august and clearer voice. The,
peace of the Peninsula will not be interrupted in
spite, and perhapsy because of the wishes manifested
by the Courier.'

(From the Courier Francais of Monday.)
(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
MADRID, AUG. 2.—An order has just been sent,
to the Ist regiment of the line to proceed imme-1
diately to Arragon, where some disturbances have
occurred. Orders have also been sent to the 6th
andlith regiments to proceed by forced marches to
Andalusia. The stations of these regiments will be
occupied by the provincial militia of Cordova, Ecija,
and Guadix, who will, for that purpose, be re-em-
bodied.

It appears that the proposed Treaty between
Spain and Portugal, under the mediation of France
,and England, has not been ratified, because the Por-
tuguese Government has represented to the Cabinet
of St. James's, that Spain has not given sufficient
guarantees, and that the Royalist volunteers, who
are almost innumerable, are calculated to excite se-1
riot's alarm. If these associations are to remain con-
tinually under arms, Portugal will be obliged to
have recourse to her ally, the English Government,
for such a military force as, added to her own, will
• be sufficient to, counterbalance that of Spain.
The extraordinary couriers last from Lisbon, in-
duce us to believe, that so far from the Army of Ob-
servation being dissolved, it will, before long, march
to the frontiers of; Portugal. In fact, the last news
from Lisbon is anything but satisfactory ; and the
Apostolicals, both within and without Portugal,'
who continue to make. the greatest efforts to over-'
turn the Constitutional system, might now take ad-
vantage successfully of what is passing among our
neighbours, to persuade our government to advance
its army to the frontiers, which would greatly en-
courage the enemies of the Charter. This conjec-
ture appears the more probable, as the Army of
Observation is kept up to the same number, and
notwithstanding the want of troops in Arragon and
Catalonia, the government. prefers calling out the
Provincial Militia to taking away any portion of
this army.

LONDON,

THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16, 1827.

To-day consigns Mr. CANNING to his last

Lome : to-day places him side by side with the

great and the good of past ages—with PITT and
Fox, and others of that richly endowed school

of eloquence in which his mind was first formed

and nurtured. Already, while we pen these

.words, an immense crowd is pouring forward it
,the direction of the Abbey, respeCtfully deter•

mined, at whatever inconvenience, to pay theirl
last tribute of gratitude to the memory of the illus-
trious dead. This feverish excitement must, how-

ever, soon subside—the sharp edge of afflictioi

I(must be worn away--common sense resume
her rights, and the merits of GEORGE CANNING,
beheld no longer with the eye of prejudice or
partiality, obtain their fitting level. And this is
all that remains to consummate his unequalled
reputation. His whole political career was

nee broad and direct appeal to the com-
mon sense of his countrymen—no shallow

pompous coxcombry—no prosing egotism—

no eternal mouthings of sincerity and plain

dealing, deformed the fair pages of his elo-
quence ; all there was manly, liberal, and consis-
tent ; a cultivated surface of fancy, spread over a
rich substratum of common sense. While, there-

[Ore, we mourn his demise—while we mourn the

extinction of those graces which shed lustre
alike on the policy and the literature of England,
pride blends with our regret that they will as-

suredly be imperishable.

Peace then to the Manes of GEORGE CA

NiNG ! A few hours--and his last resting place

will be restored to its wonted solitude—the voice
of mourning will be hushed—the vaulted floor

will cease to echo with the thoughtful tread 01

stranciers but what time shall suffice to

obliterate the recollection of the gifted
Statesman from the minds of those who

have this day witnessed his interment ?-
