We are glad to see in the Papers of this morning,
so many declarations, confirmatory of the sentiments
which we yesterday expressed on the .question of our
interposing in behalf of Spain. We deprecated the
idea of catrying our sympathy for Spain to the
perilous extent of making war for hut. sake (not our
ovs n) against France;" while at the same time we
pointed to the "individual enthusiasm" excited at the
Sranish dinner, as a source from which the Spaniards
have much to expect. A person, who calls himself
" An Eye Witness," has sent a letter round to the
Papers, in which he states, that " the plain and in-,
telligible appeal" of the Sect etary to the Spanish
Legation was not such as ought to " be interpreted
into a call for any assistance 'from the State—
into a demand of Subsidies."—" That," he conti-
nues, " would have been irregular, as well as im-
prudent. They must have been intended for a very
'different way of assistance—one which depends upon
voluntary and individual sympathy; and cannot,
the' elute, either einbatrass the foreign relations of
Great Btitain, or impose new charges upon the
People."—Another Gentleman, who was also at the
D:nner (F. W. MyEns, Esq. of Russell-square), has
published a letter to Lord WILLIAM BENittioc, the
Chairman, in which he thus ieusibly expresses him-
self: —" My Lord, far be it from any of us to precipi-
tate the Ci.uncils of our country ; but, individually, let
us not forego the hope that Spaniards. will not fight
alone the batt7e of liberated Europe.
• • • • . • • • •

" The want of opportunity alone, the full occupation
.of every moment of Friday's Meeting, prevented my
entreating from your Lordship, and the numerous as-
sernbly then present, that a fund should be contributed
towards the foundation of Spanish Military Hospitals.
Stich a course is open to us, for there is no law to in-
hibit us from binding the wounds of the soldier, and
iolaiing him in his peril. My *Lord, it is not too late
to'do something t if we cannot lead in' the path of
glory, let us be found following in benevolence the
desolation of war—easing the pains of the sick, and
soothing the spirit of the. broken. If British valour
is, for the present, forbidden to gather laurels foithe
glory of England, let Thitish sympathy delight to
Amply balm and oil for the succour of the wounded.".
The Morning Chronicle, too, is pleased to admit
distinctly, that " a country ought not to-go to war
merely from sympathy with the situation of another,
where..its own safety an:l interests are not concerned,
because in that case there would never be an end of
war:': It seems, however, slow to admit shat the
Britisb Government has done all which it might and
ought to do consistently with a strict neutrality.—
Repeal," it says, "'the Foreign Enlistment Bill."
We need not now go into an examination of the ques-
tion, how far that measure would be consistent with
a strict neutrality, which, the Chronicle adds in the
neat breath, would soon make the French Govern-
Ment " repent its 'undertaking." It may be enough
to make answer to this demand in the Chronicle's
own words—" Spain is strong in situation, and does

not want men."

We are less pleased to find that we were not mis-
t:ll:en in saying that it seems to be the object of a
party in the country (not numerous, we trust,) to en-
courage an idea that " a Declaration of War against
France must be the consequence of the failure of our
mediation in behalf of Spain:' In the House of Com-
;mons, last night, Colonel DAVIT'S was pleased to say
that " it was only because war appeared to be almost
inevitable, not only between France and Spain, but
between France and Bngland, that he did not pro-
pose- a reduction in amount of our military esta-
blishmeno." This statement was followed by loud
calls of Hear, hear, from the Opposition Benches,
shewing that there are more persons than Mr. Dan-
MAN who agree with Colonel DAVIES in opinion.
•We were consoled to observe from the still loader
ciies of No, No, which resounded from all' pasts of
the House that the real interests of the Country are
not without advocates enough ie the House to up-
hold and enforce them,.

Mr, WALLACE obtained leave last night to bring
iw a Bill to render more efficacious the proiisions of
the Warelsoubing Act. If we understand rightly the

It is to be opposed, however,
.as we learn front a
paragraph in the Morning Herald of this day, uhich
not only stigmatizes the measure, but attributes it
to improper motives. 6' We much fear," say the
writer, 66 that this measure originates with those who
have a greater inte►est in foreign manufactures than
they have in home manufactures, besides having pro-
bably large stacks of warehouses that they *ant to
get a good annual rental for ; and, in addition, to
become Brokers for the sale of the foreign manufac-
tured goods in question."

Knowing as we, do, and as the whole mercantile
world have testified, the pure and patriotic exertions,
ofMr.WALLatoe,44 must bold up this paragraph to
the reprobation it writs. As to the Whet.% fears of
the foreign manufacturer underselling the Britiah,
manufacturer, we hold them to 'be purely visionary ;
and, for our own part, we de.ne nothing better for
the prosperity of our country than to see the produce
of British industry and ingenuity brought into,elose
and flit competition with il*prQduce of allother
lc outwits. • •

The French Papers of Saturday are only interesting
t •
at far as I elats to the state of popular feeling in Paris,
*hick has received serious exciteme:it by the expul-
sion of M. Maeuet.. By this act the Ultras, in their
fury, have. contrived to do two things, which were
the most distant frtil their intentions. They have
made an important rallying point -of 1tr.:M4r041.,
who was before only known as a stauncli:Libes al and
an eloquent debater ; and they have' united in a Close
body all the Members of the Opposition under the
banners of alarm, whatever were their previous dif-
ferences in views or opinions. flat they have done
more( they have roused popular feeling against them,
and it manifests itself in tumults in the streets, and
imprecations against the Government.

On Thursday, says the Journal des Debals; collec-
tions of people, amounting to between five and six
hundred, took place on the Boulevards San Martin
and du Temple. They were mostly of the woriing
classes, though some few among them were cf a better
condition. The gendarmes arrested 29 of them.—
Next day a crowd assembled at Port St. Denis ; they
called out " Vfve Manuel/ Vive la Charter —" Mort
a la Bourdonnaye."
64 The gendarmerie," says the Quotidienne, dis-
persed the assemblages in a few moments, but the
latter in despair at being driven from the field of their
exploits, rushed in their flight upon a party of Swiss
soldieis, some of whom were wounded by the fugi-
tives, who on their way dealt blows on all sides, with
bludgeons, knives, and stilettoes. Nine individuals
were taken up and conveyed to the guard-house, and
from thence to the Prefecture. Among thetsi were
a civilian, a physician, a merchant, two shoe-blacks,
and three servants belonging to respectable families:,

himself to death because he found no army. The
Kiaga of Chourschid Meltmed Paella, who killed Ali
Pasha with liis own hands, was appointed his succes-
