retrospect of the Spanish war, excited a strong sensa-
tion, and particularly the concluding phrase.—" All
Frenchmen, whatever may be their opinions, have their
share in the new glory France has acquired: for onv
party it is spotless, for it adorns a legitimate throne;
for the rest, it is without danger, for it will not destroy
liberty." This is the more consoling when it is known
that the expression emanates from Government. The
article bears the stamp of M. de Chateaubriand's stile;
indeed, there is almost positive evidence of its being his,'
and it is universally attributed to him.
is The Decree of Ferdinand is likely to have consi-
derable effect on all Loans made by the Cortes. It is
supposed that he will not recognize them. There is a
curious circumstance attached to this Decree; it is not
countersigned by any Minister, but by—his Confessor!

We have received to-day the following accounts from
Bayonne:

BAYONNE, OCTOBER 7.

Our letters from Madrid have arrived this morning,
and bring abundance of particulars respecting Port St.
Mary and Cadiz, which are of no importance, being an-
terior to the deliverance of the King of Spain. It is in
vain to attempt to reason on an event which gives rise
to so many different conjectures. The only thing that
is thought probable, and is generally believed here, is,
that England has employed its intervention. All eyes
are turned upon Mina, who is not likely to yield with-
out a vigorous resistance. It is affirmed, that he has
written to the Regency, that the lives of a French Lieut.-
General, of a great number of superior Officers, and of
two Bishops, who are in his power, shall answer for
that of Riego, who is now in prison at Madrid, under
the custody of the Captain of the Guard.
This ftmous prisoner was insulted as he passed through
Disposa Perros, where he was made to leave the car-
riage and put into a cart. At Val de Pena: the po-
pulace threatened to hang him at the balcony from
which he had harangued them only a short time before.
Bessieres has arrived at Madrid, for the purpose, it is
said, of forwarding the organization of the Royal Vo-
lunteers. It was said that a Decree of the Regency was
to be published in a few days, re-establishing the Inqui-
sition. This Tribunal has already been reinstated in
some places, particularly at Valladolid, where the peo-
ple raised a tumult in order to have it restored.
Other great cities will, doubtless, soon follow this ex-
ample, especially if we consider the addresses that have
been sent ; for instance, that of Saragossa, in which it is
said—" The tranquillity of the nation will not be con-
firmed, unless the holy and august tribunal is esta-
blished ; because many persons do not dare to make
declarations before the ordinary tribunals, for fear of
drawing on themselves unpleasant consequences; whereas
they would make them to the HolyOffce, whose reli-
gious discretion is well known."

Letters have been received from the Havannah,
the contents of which have excited some surprise.—
The island of Cuba is willing to acknowledge the
Constitutional King, but it wishes to declare itself in-.
dependent if the King regains his absolute power.
The prisoners of the garrison of St. Sebastian passed
through this city yesterday. The Officers of the Staff
of that garrison, as well as of Santona, have walked
about the City for two days. Both places, it seems, sur-
rendered for want of provisions and ammunition. The
disorder at Passages is diminishing, notwithstanding the
heat, which has again prevailed for these three days.

In the afternoon of Monday, Mr. Secretary CANNING.,
left Gloucester Lodge, on his way through Oxford to Cirencester,
and thenee to Saltrunt. It is said that the Right Hon. Gentleman
purposes remaining two or three days at Cirencester, on a visit to
the Earl Barttuasr, and that he will remain somewhat longer at
Sarum, on a visit to the Earl of Moister.
The Princess AUGUSTA, attended by Lady MART
TAYLOR, dined wish the Princess Soma of Gwucesxea, at Black-
heath, yesterday.
The Princess SOPHIA visited the Princess AUGUSTA
yesterday.
Mr. Inviso, M. P. is arrived in town from Scotland.
LIONEL HARVEY, Esq. and H. G. WARD, Esq. set
out yesterday on their mission to Mexico.
In addition to the appointment of Mr. LIONEL Hill..
YET, who is placed at the head of a Commission to in-
vestigate, in all its bearings, the situation of Mexico, we
have to state that Mr. WARD (the son of the late Clerk
of the Ordnance) is appointed second Commissioner on
the same mission.

Ds Line, Family, and Suite, for ditto; Sir D. IL Buts, Bart.
Viscount Reesman, M.P. from Lowther Castle, fee the seat of Mr.
Piusoi.g, in Selkirkshire.
Mr. BROUGHAM has taken a very courteous mode of
thanking those worthy persons, who, hearing that he was
ill, made inquiries after his health, to be thought polite.
His answer is as follows :
We are happy to state, that Mr. Baononair (who is pestered
by inquiries after his health) is perfectly weU, and was prevented
from attending the Nottingham dinner, by the extraction of a tooth,
rendering it imprudent to travel during the night in the wet weather."
EILTRAORDIN A RY PRODUCTION OF APPLII.S.—In April,
1831, a small graft of a non-such apple tree was inserted on a golden
rennet ; which had for many years grown on a wall fronting the
S.S.E. in the garden of the Rev. Mr. Tneoersoe, at Newbattle Manse.
This season there are on the above graft 98 full grown apples, within
the space of very little more than two square feet of the wall, the
length of this remarkable cluster of apples being only forty-one
inches, and the medium breadth of it seven inches and a quarter.
The Duke and Duchess of BucKixonase passed three
days at Malvern, last week. The noble visitors rode round the
hills, and expressed themselves highly gratified, and regretted they
could not devote a longer period to the enjoyment of the beautiful
and romantic scenery. They returned to Cheltenham, and thence
proceeded to the family seat at Aylesbury.

they met near Inishannon, but the police having
arrived, they
,precipitately left the ground, and met
within a short distance of Bandon, where having taken
their places and the word being given, Mr. S. fired,
which Mr. D. declined doing, and both of the parties
walked off the ground.
