BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 14.

His Majesty, by a decree of the 2d of August, in
near 300 articles, regulates the organization of scien-
tific education in the northern provinces. Another
decree will be published for the southern provinces.

Lots= DE BLIONAPARTE.--CODintUre is at vari-
ance in regard to the motives which have given rise
to this extraordinary publication; but we think they
are quite apparent from the following introductory
lines :--"" This publication will not have the eclat, nor
make the noise, which French frivolity has always
a pleasure in attaching to my smallest actions.
The sincerity of my acknowledgments, the veracity,
the details, and the result of what the French have
seen of me, may, it is true, establish my culpability
in tl:e eyes of the vulgar : but what matters this ?
I have no dread of public opinion. It is at all times
the slave of force and genius. 1 write to instruct
in inkind, and not to justify myself. lam perte .
satisfied with my own conduct. I have been all
I wished, and every action of my life has been done
with pleasure."— Introduction, page IS.

' The letter of ten or twelve lines which has been
Ilmerred in th. foreign Join's&ls as that which
Foucus orhiressed to the Kira, en his resignation,
is not suthentic. That which he really wrote is
far more respectful and much longer. Among
other things, speaking of his vote on the trial of
Louis XVI. he states, that it will form the subject
of his repentance during his whole life, and that his
binaesTY's bounty towards him, and the esteem with
which he has been pleased to honour him, in elevating
him to so eminent a place, could alone efface that
stain. Fjr some months previous to the decisive en-
gagement of Waterloo, it is reported, aild believed
without doubt at Paris, a secret correspondence was
carried on between Female and the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON. It was owing to TOUCHE, it is said, that
BoNapalm did not attack the Allies sooner. He
always set his face against BONAPARTE'S setting out
for the army, alleging t- at he could not, in the ab.
sense of the Emperor, answer for the tranquillity and
secusity of the capital. It was through TOUCHE that
LONAPASTE came to the resolution of liberating the
Doke of ANGOULEME. Thus though the Duke of
OTRANTO has not escaped disgrace at Court (which a
wise man should indeedlaugh at) he enjoys his life
and a princely fortune.

w To J. P. Weerisen, Esq. Secretary to the Waterloo Sub-
- scrip ion.
gg Stn—l have the honour to inclose to you, for the

by di.o6r.ce or lung aunts from their native country,
mid mat their feelings are in unisim with their coun-
trymen at horde on all occasions, but particularly on

lenig, and so highly beneficial to it, to Europe, and
to the whole civilized World. '

SPAIN. -

The great length of the details received by the
Corunna Mail of yesterday, obliged us to abridge
some of the Proclamations: They are so remarkable
for the ferocity of the exultation 'of the bigotted
agents of a bigotted Government, over the fall of
the man whose momentary success had filled them
with terror, that diet ought not to be lost : and we
have therefore given them entire in our columns this
day.
The fate of the brave, the patriotic, but perhaps
inconsiderate PORLIER, and the firmness with which
he met his fate, will never be effaced from the recol-
lection of his countrymen. But for the patriotic
exertions of this brave young man, FERDINAND
ev.;isks rit haws Loon without a ernwn. Plow*
occupied in tambouring petticoats for the idol
which he and his priests adore. In return, this same
FERDINAND has caused the death of a traitor to be
inflicted on him. The sufferer judged correctly of
the feelings of virtuous minds when be told his wife
that the death they might inflict could dishomer oak
the wicked To die in the cause of troth and hu-
manity •" covers the good with honour and glory."
To want of previous concert, ate failure of Post-
men's enterprize can done be ascribed. He had not
time to make the requisite aKangements. The public
mind all over Spain was ripe for a revolution, nor
can it be long prevented ; but without something like
a plan, it rarely lYippens that the concurrence of
mere contingencies effect what is lest unprovided for.
Our private levers all agree in stating that the army.
even that part of it which has been loudest in its cries
against treason and traitors, is ripe for a revolution;
but the priests l—the priests I—the priests, to a man,
all over that country, are the enemies of freedom, of
virtue, of truth, of genuine religion. The next time
the Patriots venture nn a movement, they will, recol-
lecting the part these men have acted on the present
occasion, probably not forget tle obligations they
have laid them under to lore them.

Our letters ein regitlar series down to the de.l
parture of the Pack:t from Cot onus, but we shall
in addition to the leak' from Vigo [see the STAR of
yesterday] only give the follov‘ written soon
after the insurrection, from which our Readers will
be able to form some idea of the alarm into which
the FiIIIDINANOISTO were thrown. They either them'
selves circulated, or knowing how well they merited
the anger of other Powers, they credited a report
that 15,000 British troops were coming against them.
Is there a man in this e•untry who would not rejoice
to see the fears of these bad men realised ! But we
Iforbear--,

" CORUNNA, SEPT. so, tsIS.

44 I wrote you by Packet on Sunday the 24th (see
the STAR of .sth October), from which you would
learn the termination of the efforts of PORLIIIR and
his partizans to put an end to the present system.—
The return of Sr. MARFA to the Captain• Generalship
of this Kingdom of Galicia, has been succeeded by
the arrival of 5000 troops, which entered the town
on Tuesday (the 26th) ; and at noon on the same
day arrived General ?omen, and Captains Per*
and Cones, as prisoners, under a military escort.—
I had an opportunity of closely observing them for a
quarter of an hour. Their passage through the town
to the doors of the prison destined to receive them,
did not disappoint my expectation of witnessing in
their upright, firm, and determined manner and step,
a consciousness that in their attempts they had done
chat which was strictly justifiable and correct; and
that they felt nothing of the shame of criminals in
their altered state. A military commission is ap-
pointed to try the traitors (as they are called), which
has been sitting to-day ; and it is expected that POR•
ma and several others wills be condemned to death,
which will doubtless be carried into execution with.
out delay. At least sixty Officers have been arrested
and thrown into prison; they are bronght in almost
every day—this morning five arrived.
" Many idle rumours are afloat; amongst others*
that the English are coming with a strong fleet and
15,000 men, and are expected to land at Vigo, or
in this port. Whether these 'rumours are to be attri-
buted to the hops or fears of those who circulate
them, is a matter of &mufti, but certain it is, that the
one above-mentioned, either originated with, or has
been. freely mentioned by pretty high authorities here;
and, as if there might be some reason to expect such
a thing, there bas been grot bustle here for three days
past, planting cannon in !very fortified part, and
even in many parts where there are net any fortifica-
tions at all. General CARO, the brother of the Mar.
quis ROSIANA, is certainly coming here to replace the
present Captain-General, and with him a conside-
table force.

u PORLIBR had reached Ordennes, about twenty.
six or twentycight English miles from this piece, or
2-thirds of the way to Santiago, when at midnight, on
ifriday, the serjeants of the regiments who Were with
him, having combined together, surrounded the

-.
'

house in Which he was, and took him and** Maas
prisoners : the leader of this gang has been made Cap-
tain for his able services, having previously fingered
some cash -from a codas clan of people, whose
purses are generally pretty well lined in this country.'
" It was last night stated publicly at supper, in
the presence of a great many Officers and others, by
a person from Santiago, that if PORLIER had arrived
(here, he would have been instantly joined by every
soldier in the place; and the people here do net
scruple to say openly, that all the Officers now here,
who talk so largely about traitors, treachery,
loyalty, Uc. &c. if PoRLIER had not been betrayed
in the way he was, would have joined him to a man,
and been glad of the opportunity; but I have heard
and seen a little of Spanish Officers. It is, however,
a certain fact, that the serjeants who effected this
business, are scouted by all classes of the army, and
are ashamed to skew their faces. An Officer of
Marines told me yesterday that one of them was sent
to receive some orders from him, and the rascal never
once looked him in the face, but appeared snore like
a thief that, had escaped the gallows, than any other
character he could describe.

44 PORLIES had intimated to the Merchants, the
he should want a million of reales (or fifty thousand
dollars), which would have been provided for him
in two days. Mr. --, a most respectable man
here, had provided him a considerable amount, and
in consequence has been compelled to take Frendi
have: one or two others of the Merchants, known
liberakt, have also thought it prudent to adopt the
same came. At the beginning of the week, a de-
Vutation of Merchants waited on the Captain-Gene-
ral, and told him, that as they should have had to
provide Powell with a million hai he remained,
they would make him the same offer, to be levied,
tiro rata, on the Merchants, Shopkeepers, and utbcr
44 Amongst other things which occurred on the
day the Revolution broke out, was a precious
specimen of the influence of the Priests: they
sent round to all the families in the town, desiring
(visa. commanchn:) them to come immediately to Con-
fession on such an important occasion; and threaten.
ing with every thing that is terrible those who should
neglect it—non•uhrolution, excommunication, and worse
than that, no doubt. Whether any food for the I/0/5
Inquisition has arisen out of this or not, I cannot
say ; for as secrecy is one of their doctrines, it is very
difficult to learn facts of this kind.
46 I enclose you various Proclamation' whist' have
been brought forth by this affair."

The following are the Proclamations, on occasion
of the Lite events, of which we yesterday gave extracts

" Faithful and Loyal Ga!titian., brave and honoured Soldiers
—Yoe have reaped the fruit of your loyalty, your presence alone,
without umheathing the sword, has placed in your hands the
perfidious traitors. The wbple world would have beheld pro-
digies of valour if you bad load to measure y our arms with the
of the infamous rebel. Noble sereasts du no: merit to be stabled
with vile blood; the glory.is for you 3 but the Chiefs of the Spa-
nish armies, the illusaicurs Patron St. lag°, had reserved this
victory for himelf. His city and his holy temple were threat-
ened with being profaned by the execrable footsteps of a traitor,
and he who thought to enchain you, enters the city to-day, ar-
rested, anti amidst the publit: hatred and execration. Enjoy the
fruits of good order and peac4, and expect from so jugt
rc-
reign the recompense of your Imalty.
" The Military Governor, Jose, Peace.
" Santiago, Slid September, 1845"

" To Messieurs, the Commandant, Captains, ikc. of the illus-
trious territory of Tubeyros—The capkal city of Santiago, a'id
the whole Oallician people, bless your loyalty .utd love to yo.ir
Sovereign. No province in the kingdom yields to you in t b_se
sentiments, which are the character of all the Gallkians; but
for you was reserved the glory of being the first to hasten on the
wings of your love to the succour of your capital. On the same
day that the report of the rebellion sounded amongst this people,
it was represented to us by your worthy Chiefs, the lac. D.
Manuel Bodine, and D. F. Pettey% that they would place at
our disposal 5000 valiant Oallicians, trained and crowned with
laurels in the wars which they waged with the tyrant Napoli c.:,
during his invasion of this kingdom, and in less than four day-
they had assembled 3000 men. Happy proximity to Santiago,
how will you be envied by all the GaUicians I Console your-
selves, illustrious Patriots, for if those of Tobeyros anticipated
you, it was as your representatives, and to share with you their
glory. The tutelar Patron of Spain, and the glory of this most
faithful kingdom, took it upon him to dispel the storm by the
arrest of the traitor and his officers; and satisfied with your
' seal for the houour of his holy temple and city, he would not
keep you from the labours of the harvest which you had so gene•
rously abandoned. I, In the name of your Sovereign, give you
all, and each in particular,the most entire thanks; and shall take
are to make hint acquainted with your loyalty.
" Joss,. Pane, Military Governor."

" I should not fulfil the duties which are imposed upon me
by the conduct of this must noble and faithful people, in the
late moments of tribulation, if I hesitated a moment to express
to them, in the name of the King our master (whom Con
preserve), my gratitude and eternal acknowledgments. Yes
loyal Commie, you are, without doubt, among the most faith-
ful subjects of the King, and the most sage and prudent. I do
not flatter you. From the horrid and unjust confinementconfinement I
have seen you, hew imitating the heroic virtues of your loyal
Junta, and despising violence, threats, and the force which the
traitor Porlier had infamously seized. Yea ridiculed the ephe-
meral hopes which he had conceived of involving you in his
wicked treason; from thence I have admired your heroic vie.
.toes, end the deep but terrible silence, which stilltd, as it
were, the volcano of your loyalty and fidelity iNand how dif-
ferent has been the conduct that you have observed at the lit n
moment that this volcano was able to bunt the bounds which
had contained it.
" Oat of breath, you flew with the velocity of lightning—
you proclalined anew the adored King whom you have in your
hearts, and did not cease to cry out, till, oyellowing with de.
light, you saw me, embraceetne, and your tears, the mast
tender and sincere team bathed my cheek, and flowed in union
with mine.

44 What happy moments! How glorious for you and for me!
I can Acid :411 adequAte expression fur them; you deserve every
