gressive diminution—it is attributable to no. other
cause. You will reply, lam aware. that the secrecy
of letters has nOt been respected under any repate.-..
Yon will, perhaps, add, that reasons of State will ea.
cure this violation. No I nothing can exclise so great
an offence. It is intolerable under all Governments—
it is hateful under a free one. Under the ancient
regime, letters were unclosed, and at the epoch of the
exile of the Parliament it was done in so scandalous
a manner, that the merchants of Rouen took.tbe re-
solution of simply closing their letters with a pin /
The reproof was piquant no doubt—(A laugh)--but
it was well meritesf. Every one laughed, but nothing
was amended. Nevertheless it was not lost upon
France. It was remembered in the Convocation of
the States-General, and all the Deputies were re.
quired to declare against the isolation of the secresy
of letters, and to exact that it should be respected.
—The National Assembly, penetrated with this prin-
ciple, rendered it sacred by the celebrated discussion
which took place in the Sitting of the 17th July, 1789.
was then supposed that the intercepting of some
letters mighediscover the authors of a plot which had
for its object to surren ler the port of Brest. Several
Deputies proposed that the letters should be opened
for this purpose. Chapelier exclaimed that the vio-
lation of the secrecy of correspondence was a crime,
and that in no case could public safety require such
a Sacrifice on the part of virtue: The most di-tin-
guished Deputies of that illustrious Assembly parti-
cipated in this idea, and it was developed by Mirabeau
with all the force of his eloquence. His speech pro-
duced such an effect, that the secret office for opening
letters was suppressed, and an interval of twelve years
elapsed before it was re-established—(Murmurs we the
right).—l allow that letters were opened under the
Government of Napoleon. That was certainly a great
evil ; but they were only opened at the Paris Post
Office. The secrecy of correspondencevwas respected
in all the country Post Offices. Now, however, let-
ters are opened in the Departments : this cannot be
doubted, since the General Councils have demanded
that letters be stamped with the day of their arrival,
and that of their departure. This proposition, so useful,
and strongly supported, has been repeated every year.
The refusal to accede to it confirms all the suspicion•,
or rather all the realities of which I have been speaksug.
I have said enough to establish that the administration
of the Post is nothing more than a branch of the Police.
The agents of the Police know that if they were not
protected by the Government, they would, for every
violation, render themselves liable to a fine of frosts
16 to 300 francs, and to exclusion from public em-
ployment for a period of from five to ten years. But
the secret bureau is supported at a great expense by
the Government. At least SO clerks are employed
in it. I can tell you who pays them the money they
receive. I can also tell you that a passage lion, the
Cabinet of the Director of the Posts leads into the
secret offices. The entrance of it is shut by a con-
cealed dhor. As soon as this is opened, we find our-
selves in the offices of persons charged to discover
the keys to the different ciphers employed in the cor-
respondence, or in the workshops of engravers occu-
pied in taking impressions on plates of lead of the
impressions of the arms and seals which are employ ed
to secure letters. These letters are finally carried to
a kind of laboratory, where there are instruments of
a very peculiar construction; close fires to melt the
wax, and cauldrons of boiling ater to loosen wafers
—(lnterruption). In short, all is mystery in this sub-
terraneous asylum, and men employed to discover
the secrets of everybody are themselves a secret to
all the world."

Extract of a private letter from Madrid, dated the
Ist of April :
" Yesterday, in an Extraordinary Session of the
Cortes, the impeachment of the late Minister of War,
General Sanchez Salvador,was-decided on. This looks
like real responsibility, and the case is one of aggra-
vated injustice. He had marked out an eminent and
excellent patriot for his victim, Colonel Serrano,whom
he had brought before the Tribunals with no other
evidence than an anonymous letter, sent by the said
Minister himself to the presiding Judge. Serrano,
however, and his pretended accomplices, were ab-
solved. To-day Riego's Presidency has ceased.—
Nothing can be more admirable, nothing more pru-
dent and dignified than his conduct in the Chair.
There has been a severe struggle for the set and Pre-
sidency and Szcretaryships. The Ministerialists have
, won the former; HayetansValdes is appointed. The Op-
position the latter, having installed D. Angel Saavedra.
"We have still unpleasant news from Pamplona.
The Liberal garrison is shut up in the fortress, and
constantly insulted by the Serviles, who speak out of
the certain aid they are to receive from the French
cordon. If our Government had any sense or energy,
they would answer the plots of the French Ultras by
sending Mina, or Lopez Banos, among the Pyrenean
Provinces, and turn these execrable weapons of con-
spiracy upon themselves ; but we have no hope of this.
We have news from Costa Firma of the middle
of January. General Cruz Mourgeon, who had ar-
rived at Panama with 'an expedition of 3,000 men
against the Insurgents, having been invited to join
the Columbian Republic, replied that he came from
Spain to assist the cause of liberty, and not to destroy
or injure it. Bolivar has named him. Captain-Gene-
ral of Quito.

We wait anxiously for the decision as to Cadiz
being declared a lice port. The Ministers will oppose
it. They had the Gacialanos, who are too stubborn
to bend the neck to any sort of oppression, and too
active to be lulled by any false and vain promises."
By letters from the Havannah, dated the 2d of
March, it appears that that port has been established
as an entrepot for merchandise of every description,
with the liberty of export and import at the rate of
one per cent. The situation of that port, its superior
harbour in all seasons, and its tranquillity amid all
the late agitations, have given a degree of import-
ance which it could not have enjoyed under the strict
monopoly of Old Spain. The average yearly crops
of assorted sugar, exclusive of Muscovado, are said
to exceed 300,000 boxes, and the quantity of coffee
exported is stated at 18,000,000 pounds.

It is now nearly a fortnight since we received the
account of the Porte having rejected the Ultimatum ;
and although the subsequent intelligence ha, not been
of that decisive character which might perhaps have
been expected, yet it has been generally confi matory
'of the rupture in the negotiations. In this expect
the accounts from Russia, Turkey, Germa!i . and
France, have almost universally coilici. Th.
Paris Journals of Sunday are entirely warlike ; and
everything tends to chew that unless some ..ecilivP
interposition of Austria and England should prevent
it, hostilities will soon be commenced. The delay may
Arise from the state of the country which we learn,
is such as to prevent Russia from transporting the
onaterid of an army with that rapidity which is es-
sential for offensive operations ; and that Turkey will
not be the first to declate war is, as we havef rinerly
stated, pretty evident from the tennur of the Note re-
jecting the Russian Ultimatum.
Some of our contemporaries rejoice at the indica-
tions of the approaching fall m Turkey ; and, wera
the de►truction of that odious despo ism to be fol-
lowed Ly a free Government, and, abOve all, by the
liberation of Greece, no one would hail the tall of the
Crescent with greater joy than ourselves; but the
members of the Holy Alliance have given too many
proofs of their selfishness and of their hostiiity to
every reform, to expect the slightest amelioration
when they become the dictators.

The Courier, after some unmeaning compliments
to the Emperor of RCSSZA, about his sincere 1. re of
peace(HEAVEN bless the mark !), adds, " should war
finally take place with Turkey, it will be be.4on, car-
ried on, and terminated, in strict accordance with
those general principles which formed the basis et'
the arrangements completed in the Congress at
Vienna." What those " general principles" ate the
Courier does not tell us; but if they are the same as
have extinguished the spirit of liberty when rising in
Piedmont, or that are now keeping Italy in suhjec-
don, or triumphing over public spirit in Naples, and
sending thousands to prison and hundreds to the gib-
bet, then we will contend that, to be consisten Aus-
tria and Russia, so far from making war on Turkey,
should support the Sublime Porte, and assist him
to put down the insurrection of the Greeks.--
But the real fact is, that if there are any " general
principles" by which the Holy Alliance Junto are
bound, they are those of aggression and aggrandize-
ment, and of a determination to repress public spirit,
and to crush evely State, the people of which dare
to think or act for themselves. These are the general
principles of the Holy Alliance, and the conduct of
Russia at the present moment is in consonance to
those principles. The insunection in Greece, excited
by Russia, affords her no justifiable pretext for making
war on Turkey; but it affords an opportunity for that
Power to indulge in the hope of realizing one of the
ambitious prospects OfCATHIMINS, that of gaining
possession of European Turkey. To such project
the Greeks would for some time prove auxiliary, but
the object once accomplished, the Greeks would be
no more an in•lependent State than Poland, or even
the Cossacks of the Don are at the present moment.
It is not improbable that Austria may be under
some engagement to assist Russia in her meditated
spoliations, in return for the aid rendered by that
Power to crush Italy; nay, Austria, may even get
some accessions of territory on the side of Hungary ;
but will the rest of Europe look tamely on while these
two Powers are thus adding to their already extensive
Empires, and suffer common justice to be so outraged
and the balance of power in Europe tiles destroyed'
