' To-morrow Parliament meets foifthe dispatch of
business; and we cannot. but -observe, that, at the
ppening of the present Parliamentary campaign,
sisters have a-decided advantage over any former
Session wit hi Opt recolleitiOn. Two leading Mc or=
bers.in the Cabinet,. Ur, Put and Mr. Roamoi,
in addition to their aoksickw 'edged talents, and rep
spectable private character, will carry with them
an inestimable benefit. to their party, that of Ding
young mett,'ind. totally,nnslinekled-by any previously
pledged declarations,Ainding them to any specittl
line of codticr on this or' that question of foreign
policy...; and pescha,pathey api eqtn4ly
.unfettered on
most of' thelnatthms of domestic- policy that are
likely arise: With Ont meaning to assert that a
Minister would Wilfsilly act in opposition to the inte-
rests of his country for the sake of .consistency, we
are, nevertheless, well aware that the shame of
acknowledging former errors acts fatally in sealing
a man's eyes against the light of truth. While their
Opponents lose no opportunity of thriming in their
teeth, as matter of reproach, any necessity deviation-
from a former opinion, we confess that our veteran
Statesmen do, at times, stand in a most unenviable
predicament.
Another advantage, which will probably accrue
from the accession of the two Gentlemen alluded to,
is, that they can, undoubtedly, if necessary, conciliate
the alliance of the more moderate opponents of
their senior colleagues. Of the still more im-
portant change in the Cabinet since the last Sez.
sion, the accession of Mr. CANNING, we have
more than once expressed our opinion; and to
this change we are indebted for the firmness with
which our Government has resisted the views of the
Holy Alliance, views into which it was at one time
much to be feared this country would have been'
dragged. •
The KING'S Speech will be read by Conimission,
and it is expected that some Member in the House
of CoMmons will move an Amendment to the Address,
pledging this country to a more decided support of,
Spain and the Greeks. Mr. CANNING baying vacated
hid seat for Liverpool, by accepting the office of Secre-
tary of State,will not be in the House to-morrow, as he
must wait until a new writ is issued for his election
for some Borough.

We have received die French Papers of Thursday 1
and Friday, from which extracts will be found in our
preceding columns. They still continue to give •act
counts of military movements, and the Moniteur has
issued a List of the Generals appointed by the KING
to command in the Army of. Spain, under the Dike
of Armout.Ezia. Who is to have the charge off' the
Prince himself is not stated, nor is it of much corm-
quenoe, as there is little doubt that he will keep out
of harm's way.
This list of Generals appointed by LOUIS XVIII,
must excite some surprise, from the circumstance of
his having so carefully selected "men of. whom the
world never before heard, with the exception, perr
haps, of Generals CANUIti, Mouroa, and LA Roma
JAQUELIII, a branch of that chivalrous family which
'was so much distinguished in'the war of La Vehdee.
There is also a Prince of Hphenlohe;a brother, we
presume, of the miraclomonger, whine exploits in
„curing diseases form so popular a theme of Ro.

.

the time on which he will do it.
Not one of the Marshals of France has an appoint-
ment in this crusading army, though many of them,.
and in particular SoULT and SUCIIET, by their know-
ledge of the country, as well as by their military
talents, must have possessed great advantages on'
such a duty. Not one of those Generals who distin-
guished themselves in the wars of France, and made
her. name respected everywhere, has been deemed
worthy of a command; the consequence of which
must be, that the natural disaffection which the
French soldiers are known to have at fighting in such
a cause, will be increased by their having nothing
but. furious Ultras and inexperienced petit mitres
for Generals.

But we perhaps ought not to blame Lows XVIII.
for as he is evidently under a much greater restraint
than his brother Bourbon of Spain, whom he pre-
tends to liberate, and has been forced to a half dy-
claration of war against Spain against his will, it was
scarcely likely that he would be left to tlie,free choice
of his agents, which are decidedly of Ultra selectiOn.

It is said, also, that several -of the Marshals of
France have refused commands in this army; and
though soldiers are seldom very particular as to the
cause in which they fight, yet what Marshal of France
would hazard the laurels of twenty campaigns, in ac-
cepting a command in a cause decidedly unpopular,
and that, too, under such a thing as the Duc D'ANGOU•
1. RAI E ? The Marshals who are said to have thus refused
are; MACDONA LD, a brave and honourable man, and
One of the most sincere friends of the BOURBONS ;
MARXIONT, who betrayed one master, which has ever
since rendered him odious, and whose very name has.
become a term of reproach; and °mem One of
the papers states, that VICTOR has accepted. a cam-.
mend in the. Army, but this is by no means certain.

But notwithstanding all the gasconade in the French
Papers, the military preparations in France are not
'at all commensurate with the magnitude of the under-
taking, which induces a belief, very prevalent in
Pasts, that war may yet be avoided.
Some of the French Journalists feel highly indig-
nant at a letter written by General O'Donszt, expos-
ing some intrigues going on at Madtisl,, for the pur-.
pose of making. the French Charter .the COnstitutiOn]
of Spain. The obnoxious paragraph is as.
"41 A person arriving front. Madrid, and well lic,cre.
dited, has related to General ('DONNE'. the4iitrigues
and plots which are on foot to compel the King of-
SPAIN to accept the Charter--that is to say, to !wal-
low hemlock instead' of arsentt. "Thest-intripint,
directed by the Count de Pio:3A not, have their source
in the Cabinet of the Tuilleries."

I The Etoile remarks on this subject, that ."-dr.
Fiench will pass the Bidassoa only for the purpose
Of reinstating the descendant of Louis XIV. on the
throne of his ancestors. A Bourbon recognizes rho
Iright of intervention between a free King and his sub-
jects. It kto the title of the liberator, and not the
lawgiver of Spain that he aspires."
The Jturnal des Debtits says, the word of the
KING, that he wishes FERDINAND to be' free to give
his people institutions, is a sufficient refutation of the
charge•in O'DoNNEL's letter, which further states
that "Ferdinand declares with firmness that he does
not wish it (the Charter), and that if it should happen
that he accepts it, he may be considered to be as
much under constraint as he was on the7th of March,
1820, when he swore to the Constitution of Cadiz."
On this passage, the Jortrna 1 des Debats. asserts, that
FERDINAND never made such a declaration, and that
he only wishes for liberty, in order to give it to his
people. Goo preserve France and Spain from such
liberty as the Bourbons would give. They have
already been tried—been weighed in the balance,
and found wanting; and after the experience that
has been had of their wishes and dispositions, it would
be madness to trust-them. •

Trance has a sad Suspicion that. England will take
the part of Spain ; and this suspicion has been agood
deal strengthened by two or three circumstances
which are thus strung together in the Constitutionnel :
" It was remarked at the opening of the chambers,
that the English Ambassador and the Hanoverianl
Minister were not present in they diplomatic tribune,
and therefore did not officially take apart in:the ce.

bassaders.
This brings to our rteCollettionithotber eircum-
.
stance, namely, that the English Ambassador at Ma-
drid, accompanied by his principal Secretaries, was
present at the Sitting of the Cones on the 9th of this
month, when the Spanish Government communicated'
to the Deputies the answers which it had made tae the
Notes on the Holy Alliance..

arrived at Warsaw on the 13th nit. when the Cite

by NAPOLEON. The report that another Congressqf -

tioned) that the Senate of 'Hydra hid given mir
islands to the Ipsarists. We can hardly think this'
possible, yet our fears, which were already greaii
have been increased by the Greeks landirg on the.
North of the island, on the night of the 7th inst. The.
were repulsed by the Turks, assisted by some Sciote
peasants, who forced the enemy to re-embark, leaving.
behind °tie prisoner; he was brotight, completely
armed, before the Pacha, who ordered him to be
hanged."
BCIO, DECEMB/qt 1.
An Egyptian corvette, forced from Patras by the- •
wind, was returning to that place, and was still at
some distance' from it, when it saw eight • vessel,,
bearing the tiirkish flag; which made signals to it:
Conceiving them to be the Ottoman ships of bar,
approached without distrust, when the Greeks su►.
rounded it, and took it without difficulty. It is a' '
handsome corvette, of 28 guns. The Ip•atiots uhu
took it have carried it to the ishino.
DEC. 6.—The fears ut the Turks in this island
crease. daily ; they foresee a great catastrophe, and
have frankly advised the Greeks again to quit tie
island, and not to return till happier times, and en- •
Jeavour not to expose themselves in the mid,t of the
conflict between the Turks and the Greeks, their,
countrymen, as the consequences of such an event
cannot be calculated. Several Greeks have already
followed this advice, and have again left Scio.
It is certain that what is passing at [pure is cake.:
laced to confirm the alarming reports in circulation.
An embargo his been laid at Ipsara on all vessels..
Great preparations are making : besides their old
fire-ships they have built twelve of an entirely new
form, and have purchased twelve others, and, not
content with these, they are now building more.—
These fire-ships, which are lighter and almost 84
are supposed to be better adapted to the purposes•
Add to this the warlike stores they continue to accit-
ssiulate, all this indicates a storm. Where will it.
fail ? Some think upon Metelin ; but the Tuiks at
Selo are convinced that it is meant for their island.;
hence the preparations they are making and the feats
that agitate them. •
