Another French journal, Le Pilate, gives a very dif-
ferent account of the state. of public feeling in Spain,
and we trust a more correct one, for leaving all spe-
culative points out of the question, we should despise
any country equally powerful with Spain, that abet-
ted invasion, or even tamely submitted to it. The
Pilate says--

" Letters from Cadiz, of the Ist, announce that the National
Guard of that town, to the number of six thousand men, ire ex-
ercised every day in uniform, and that it will meet death sooner
than fall again under the yoke of despotism. Foreign menaces
have at last put all Spain in motion, and if the invaders have not
large corps of the army to encounter they will not find the
fewer enemies on that account."

The Brest squadron, which put to sea on the 15th
February, has suffered much from the weather.

The French Papers contain several articles of intel-
ligence from Trieste, Corfu, &c. all highly favour-
able to the cause of the Geeeks.

A vessel from Corfu brings news that Corinth had
capitulated, but that the garrison had not departed,
for want of British vessels to transport them.
News from Missolonglii state, that the approaches
to Prevesa and Arta were in the possession of the
Greeks. NIIIITAF, the terror of the Mahornetans,
had joined ODYSSEUS, and waited the arrival of the
force under BOZZARI, to try a comp de main against
Larissa, and possibly Salonica. The force of the three
Chiefs amounts, it is said, to 55,000 men.
An article from Ancona, dated February 28, says
that a ship from Corfu brings the important news of
the surrender of Patras to the Greeks, after an assault,
ohthe 15th of February. The Master of the ship as-
serted, that the news had been brought a little before
his departure, by advice sent by express from Patras
to the British Governor of Corfu. The Greeks had
in this affair 800 killed, and 400 wounded. The
Turkish garrison were put to the sword. This place
is one of the must important in the Peloponnesus ; it
was under the command of Junta. Raclin, one of
the best Generals of the Porte.

Acro Corinthus is said to have capitulated on the
6th of February; and the Turkish garrison, which
had been reduced to 1200 men, are to be transported
to. Asia Minor.

Philadelphia Papers have arilied to the 26th ult. NOZALIS
took possession of Truxillo on the 30th of December; his force
consisted of 'UV men. lie is said, however, to be now com-
pletely surrounded by the troops under Generals Pais and Mos-
TILLA. The Colombian squadron bad the complete command
of the sea.

Private letters from New York say that the Amendment to
the new Tariff Bill has bsen thrown out of Congress.

In the House of Commons, last night, the Warehousing Bill
wept through a Committee, and the Report was ordered to be
brought up on Monday. On the question being put of the
House resolving itself into a Committee, some discussion arose,
but the motion was carried by a majority of 74:—for it, 82—
against it, 8. In this discussion xot a single objection was made
to the principle of the Bill. So happily does Mr. Wattaca ap-
pear to have bit the golden mean, between precipitation and
delay, between zeal for judicious reform and care of vested in-
terests, that, small as the opposition to the Bill was, the Mem-
bers who spoke on the subject may be nearly equally divided,
into those who objected to the restrictions retained as being too
few, and into those who condemned them as too many.—Mr.
RICARDO, the leader of the theoretical economists of the House
of Commons, and Mr: MARRTATT, one of our most enlightened
Merchants, both spoke in favour of the measure. The amend-
ment moved was to obtain more delay, that the parties whose
interests were implicated might have time to examine the matter.
To this Mr. WALIACR replied, that " the Bill had been three
years before the House, and five times printed."—Can any man
believe that any important interests are likely to be injured by
the operations of this Bill, when the persons now demanding
delay have not, during all this period, made up their minds as
to what they ought to complain of ?

The -Morning Paper which has censured this measure, attri-‘
butes the want of timely opposition to the manufacturing cities
not being represented. But although Birmingham, Leeds, Man-
che►ter, and other towns, do not actually send Members to Par-
liament, there is a very large proportion of mercantile Gentle-
men and proprietor% of manufactories in the British Legislature.
In trutb, no interest is actually better represented than the ma-
nufacturing. Collected in towns, capable of forming combina-
tions, and of exciting alarm by their clamour, the Manufacturers
and Capitalists have at all times bad a very powerful and de-
cided influence in the Legislature. Such complaints, therefore,
appear both unreasonable and unjust. If their interest was at
all likely to be injured by this measure, Petitions, before now,
would have poured in from all parts of the Empire; and their
clamours would completely have drowned the more feeble voice
of the scattered and careless Public.
In opposing the observations of the, limber for Yorkshire,
who asked that the manufacturers of woollen cloths might have
the same privileges granted to them as is extended to thoie of
linen and silk, Mr. IVattace was understood to state, that he
departed from the principle of the Bill as to these two articles,
because they had been long bolstered up by bounties and pro-
hibitions, which it would not be politic immediately to remove.
Great hopes, however, are entertained, from the flourishing state
of these manufactures, that in a very short time neither our il-
ium nor silks will require to be exempted from the operation
of this Bill. This appears now to be Sir Joan. NEWPORT'S opi-
nion as to Irish linen, and lie stated this opinion also to be gain-
ing ground in Ireland. The hope of still farther improvement
in the silk trade is founded we the fact, that at present ten times
more of this article is used in the manufactories of England than
in Lyons, the principal seat of the silk manufactory of Franco .

The Cuas..cmioa of the EXCUZQVItit proposed last night the
Resolutions on which he means to found what ws may in a spe-
cial manner call a Bill for the good of the Poor. The object of
it is to procure for the humbler classes malt beveragenot &spate=
