Address In reply to the-Ring's Speech. That pan,
of NU-. Peel's speech, in which he vindicated the:
attack upon Naplei; is particUlarlY singled out, and
the Journalist makes this observation upon it
After this avowal, it will be impossible for the
Inglish Ministers to dispute the right of the French
Government to interfere in the affairs of Spain."
The cause of Benjamin Constant was heard on
Thursday, by the Court. of Paris.. The Court, after
hearing the pleadings, aird aeliberating one hour, an-
nulled both appeals, but altered the punishment, con-
aen.ning M. B. Constant to pay a fine of 1000 francs.
This sentence-dries away the punishment of imprison-
ment, but doubles the fine.
The Queen of Portugal is stated to be still at the

M. de Lagarde, the French Ambassador to Madrid,
arrived safely at Bayonne on the morning of the 3d
instant. He had demanded his passports on the 26th
ult. but did not ►ec ei v e them till midnight on the 28th,
though he had ordered the arms of 'rauce to be taken
down from his Hotel ; and it was not till the 30th
that they were countersigned by the Political Chief
at Mad' id. At six o'clock on that day he set off, ac-
companied only by M. Belloc, his principal Secretary
of Legation. According to the report made by M.
de Lagarde, the 'bands of the Army of the Faith
stopped all travellers, whether friend or foe, who fell
in their Way. His Excellency met several couriers,
tiho had been stopped and deprived of their dis-
patches, and passed a courier of the English Cabinet,
Who had started thirty hours before him, and to
whom he had himself iuttusted dispatches for the
French Ministry. . _

It now turns out that the sudden march of Bessieres
and his companions on Madrid, for a special purpose,
was conformable to a plan previously arranged with
the French Government, for which SOX° doubloons
were advanced. Sensible of the moral effect that
would be produced by posse sing the King's person,
Bessieres was directed to assemble a trusty corps, com-
posed of as many disbanded men from the Royal and
Swiss Guards as he should be able to collect, and
with these he found it an easy matter to penetrate
through a secluded portion of the country, and across
the mountains, by the way of Siguenza, at a moment
when the chief military strength of he districts,
through which he passed was concentrating on the
fiontiers, and the Commander was consequently con-
fident that no material obstacle could occur till he
approached the neighbourhood of the capital. The
project was no doubt daring, but it must have been
madness to suppose that a coup de wain could have
succeeded with a large populous city like. Madrid,
where an active and well disciplined militia exists,
always on the alert. The chief part of the regulars
had been withdrawn from the-capital towards the
frontiers, the local volunteers and militia having been
deemed sufficient for the protection of the place and
the maintenance of tranquillity.
Bessieres is a Frenchman* who, not many months
since, was found guilty of forming pin of a con-
spiracy at Barcelona, for the purpose of establishing
a Republic. He was ordered to be executed, and was
actually on his way to the scaffold, when he was res-
cued by the mob. The first account that has been
since heard of him, is this of making his appearance
at the head of the " factious." It is to be concluded,
therefore, that he has now turned Royalist—but such
changes are not incompatible with the character of a
Frenchman. Ulman is a Swede, who was employed
some years ago by the Spanish Government to extir-
pate the bands of robbers which infested the province
of Estremadura. He accomplished his work with
terrible energy, giving them no quarter, allowing no
trial, but hanging them on the most convenient tree
as quickly as he could meet with them.
The King of SWEDEN, in opening the Session of
the States-General of that Kingdom on the 253 ult.
delivered a very long Speech, in which we observe
that the Presidency of the Supreme Tribunal, which
was rested in the Kiwo, is to cease, in order that the
judicial power may be emancipated from the in-
ituence of the Sovereign. It is also stated, that seve-
ral works to improve the internal navigation of the
kingdom were either in progress or recently con-
cluded. The system of the Swedish Government is
acific, and its relations with foreign Powers continue
friendly and unimpaired. The 'prosperity of the
country is increasing.
