We have received Paris Papers of Tuesday. On
the subject of Spain the intelligence is of a painful in-
terest. Notwithstanding the laboured disavowal of
the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, which we subjoin,
the state of affairs in Spain seems to be distressing be-
yond measure. As the best reply to his letter, we re-
fer ow readers to an article from Madrid, bearing
every mark of authenticity, which we have selected
from the very Paris Papers which contain his Excel-
lency's disavowal.

Nothing but intripue prevails among the Spanish
Courtiers, anci nothing but discontent appears on the
countenances of the people. All the Editors of the
Spanish Papers are thrown into prison, and the
Gazate alone is allowed to be, publisigd.
C mmerce is nearly at a stand : the obnoxious royal
monopoly of tobacco has been' revived, and no cot.
tons are allowed to be imported at any price.
—ln short, with such a body of evidence before us
on die state of Spain, we must be pardoned for
doubting the accuracy of M. LAMA Doles informants,
who describe that country as perfectly tranquil.

Chevalier Gomez Labrador, the Spanish Ambas-
sador at Paris, has adlressed the following Letter to
the Editors of the Journal de Paris :

" GiNTLEULN,

66 PAW, JULY RS.

44 You have inserted in your Journal of yesterday
an article from Munich of the 16th instant, according
to which the discourses of the Spanish Clergy occa-
sioned the greatest disorders in the Cities of Leon and
Compostella.
al You will be pleased to know that I have intel-
ligence from Spain of a much more recent date, and
certainly more entitled to credit than that of the
varian Journalist who furnished you with the article
in question. Permit me, therefore, to inform you
that the disorders of Leon and Compostella have no
more reality than the disturbances said to have been
caused by the conduct and sentiments of General
Mina and the sedi:ious movements announced for
some time in various parts of Spain, whereas General
Mina is not less estimable for his loyal and chivalrous
frankness than worthy of admiration for his military
achievements, and in spite of the inventors of false
news, there is not in all Europe a more tranquil
country than Spain.
46 Yes, Gentlemen, the most perfect tranquillity
reigns in my country—the people there even enjoy a
degree of happiness superior to that which any nation
ever experienced, • for no nation has succeeded in re-
conquering its independence and its Sovereign by so
great efforts of courage, fidelity, and constancy. Con-
vinced of this happy situation of my country, I have
hitherto been silent as to the report of discontents,
which idle or malignant persons have been pleased to
propagate, and I would have been silent with respect
to your brother Editor of Munich, if, after announc-
ing a false piece of intelligence, he had not added an
atrocious calumny against my august Sovereign, and
against his Royal Highness the Infant don Antonio.
“ I had flattered myself that we were far removed
from these unfortunate times, in which Journalists
outraged with impunity, whole nations and Sove-
reign Princes ; and what outrage can be more hor-
rible than that of imputing to the uncle of the King
of Spain a declaration which would be an act of re-
bellion, and to his Majesty himself a disease which
would render him incapable of reigning ! Upon
what foundation has this miserable Journalist built
his imposture The singularity of taking news from
Spain from a German Journal, ought, of itself, to
have struck you, if you had not reflected on the bane-
ful effects which such paragraphs might produce.
66 All true Frenchmen have deplored the war of
perfidy and atrocity which their tyrant waged for six
years against Spain : they have deplored this war,
not only as unjust, but as having excited to the
highest degree animosities and hateful passions be-
tween two neighbouring nations, whose interest it is
Ito live on amicable terms with each other. Every
thing which can have a tendency to perpetuate these
dispositions, ought to be studiously avoided, and no-
thing in my opinion will contribute more to exaspe-
rate my countrymen than the continuation of the
system which most of the Journalists and other puklic
writers of your nation have constantly pursued for a
long time. Every piece of false intelligence from
Spain, and every invective, is an injury to you own
countrymen.

" I hope that you will publish this complaint in
your Journal. (Signed) " COMIC LABRADOR."

MADRID, JULY 14.

The restoration of the Supreme Council of the In-
dies gives us one tribunal more, but it does not re-
store our Colonies. The insurrections in those distant
Settlements have assumed a character so serious, that
we know not what name to give them. The Pro-
vinces or Kingdoms of Venezuela, Buenos Ayres,
and several others of the same consequence, have
solemnly proclaimed their separation from the mother.
country, and published a constitution which secures
theirindependence. This example cannot fail to reach
Mexico and Lima, which we still retain. Such are
the sad results orour political dissensions, and of that
pretended energy with which all parties mutually re-
proach each other. The present Government has
not thought it prudent to interfere with opinions
which have acquired consistency of late years.—
.—We are desirous that the administration may be
successful in all its measutes, but when we cast our
eyes on the state of the finances, and the misfortunes
of every kind with which we are surrounded, we dread
the future. The Provinces in the North arc in
disturbed state. In Castile, some disaffected persons
have set fire to some convents, into which the Eccle-
siastics were about to return—others have committed
excesses against persons merely suspected of having
lavoured the Cortes. This capital is tranquil ; but
the public confidence, and the national character,
which affects festivals and 4 certain degree of liberty,
has not re-appeared.
It is said that an order from the Minister at War,
sent at the same instant to Valencia, to Cadiz, and
another prOvincial chief town, directed a General

Officer to take the command d the troops, deprived
of their functions Generals Elio, Villavicencio, aad
O'Donnell, and ordered them to be instantly diot.—
The Court was consulted as to the execution elf skis
measure, and we are assured that his Majesty do
dared he knew nothing of it, and it is even said that
a reward has been offered for the discovery of die
authors of these supposed orders s however the case
may be, these reports are sufficient to spread want of
confidence and afflicting uneasiness.
The English Journals make war upon us--but the

English do rot know, or perhaps they pretend to be
ignorant, that at this moment a change of Ministers
would be a true revolution in Spain.
