with enthusiasm the institittions of the- country. You.

Bessieres• stewed great firmness at the time of his
execution ; be refused to name any individual who
instigated him to rebel, but said the whole of the
Clergy, Archbishops, Bishops, and heads of' Convents,
and the principal families in Spain, were compromised;
that he had no idea of being taken. He had been as-
sured that the whole of the troops were in the same
mind, and that his retreat would always have been fa-
militated. He then said that the troubles of Spain
would not cease with him, until the Clergy were
coMpletely reduced in their influence and riches. The
King has ordered that his widow and family shall receive
the full of his pay and emoluments.
Several fresh arrests have been made, among others
the late Superintendant-General of the Police. The
Conde de Torre Mu, well known for the part he acted
in the memorable rebellion of the Guards on the Ist
July, 1822, and his capture after the 7th, has lately
escaped from Madrid. It is supposed he was con-
cerned with Bessieres, and is gone to France for safety.
Such is the penury of the State that all the charitable
institations of Madrid, depending upon assignment% on
the public revenue, have been closed. The contribu•
lions can nowhere be exacted ; even if the In-
tendants of the Provinces had force to proceed to am-.
mities, it would only provoke a gent ral insurrection.
The Custom houses produce little more than sufficient
to pay the clerks employed in theta. The deficiency in'
the duty on Newfoundland fish, by the monopoly of it,
was 170,0001. The average revenue from it before was
200,0001 per annum; it ss now put on the old system,
but it will be *Mgt time ere it produces so meth. Every
aegociation For a loaaltas proved unsuccessful.
Where there is no dependence on any one govern-
ment act, everything proposed, every book closed upon
the past and the beginning of new leaves, is but labour
in vain. The resources of the country chiefly lay in a
liberal and extended commerce, and in the vast posses-
sifts of the Clergy ; but the Clergy will neither permit
the one, nor give up any part of the other. The King
and Royal Family remove from the Granja to the Es
curial on the 22d. A party of Madrid Royalist Volun-
ceers flare left for the latter to form a gnat! of honour.

At the Council held at Windsor, on Ft iday . it was re-
[(lived to issue a proclamation. enforcing the provisions
o_the Foreign Enlistment Act. This proclamation, we
u4derstand, after noticing the happy terms of peace and
amity on which Great Britain is with the Pokers of

of those Powell with dace forinitt iubjectt, Observes,
that all acts of bostilijy by individuals, subjects of this
tealaidtgatnst any of use POVieTS,STS maculated to call
in question the sincerity of his MAJESTY'S declaration
or neutrality, and to provoke those Powers to make
reprisals on the persons and property of his MAJESTY'S
subjects. •
The proclamation next notices the war between the
Ottsman.Porte,and the Greeks,and the attempts that are
waking to fit out ships of war and privateers in British
poris;and commanded and manned by British Officers aud
sunlit), to cruise against the Ottoman Porte, which
render it necessary to enforce the provisions of the
Foreign Enlistment Act, which prohibits all his MA-
JESTY'S subjects from enlisting into foreign service, or
fitting out or equipping, in his MAJESTY'S ilominions,
vessels for warlike purposes, without his MAJESTY'S.
leave. •

His MAJESTY therefore commands all his subjects,
that they do not take any part in the said contest, nor
infringe this law ; the violatiod. of which is a misde-
meanour, and will, on conviction, subject the offenders
to fine and imprisonment.
An ships engaged for such batlike purposes, are for-
feited, and all Officers of his Majesty's forces and cus-
toms are charged to seize them wheriva they may
be found.

We adverted yesterday, for the first time, to the
alarming confederacies which have recently sprung up
among the working classes, to check the outrages of
which an Act was passed in the last Session of Parlia-
ment; and if we now return with reluctance to this
subject, it is because we perceive, in common with our
cotemporaries, the full mischief, and ruinous tendency
of the measures which the confederates are pursuing ; '
but we do not so readily see by what means those evils
are to be remedied, without subjecting one or other of
the two parties at variance to some degree of hardship.
Indeed, the tone of some of the Journalists of the
day, who are supposed to speak the sentiments of the
masters, is such as to destroy all discussion. They
say broadly, that we are threatened with another servile
war, similar to that which brought ancient Rome to
the brink of ruin. What! are the industrious, most
ingenious, and skilful mechanics of England, the justly
esteemed ornaments, and the real riches of their country,
'no better than the enslaved domestic meoials of Rome ?
—A servile war, truly I—ln what-iespect are the jour.
uey men the slaves of their masters :7:—Morally, legally,
and politically considered, are not the two parties pre-
cisely equal in their relations to each other—partners
in the same venture, in which, on the one side, skill and
labour, on the other capital and risk, are contributed,
in: order to bring the commodity, which is their com-
moo property, to market ? The only: real question
is, by what means a fair division of the profit ought
to be made, and it is not in human nature to expect
that eithcr. party should be an impartial umpire in
such a case.
We are no advocates of the misconduct imputed to
the workmen ; and we at once assert, that outrage, op-
pression, and a ai.:lent and presumptuous interference
with the property or private affairs of the masters must
at all times be put down by the strong arm of the law.
It is a flame which must be trodden our. But on the
other hand, the workmen ought not, if it can possibly
be otherwise, to be tre ded as Helots, and reduced to
the last stage of misery, by such a 'diminished amount
of wages as may be unequal to the support of their
starving families, though earned by a constant and
unrelenting submission to the severest doom ever in-
flicted on man daily and unremitting labour.
It is contended by our economists, th
,?t labour is like
any other commodity in the market—when the supply
exceeds the demand in any instance, its price must fall;
and then the commodity must go in search of a better
market elsewhere. To prevent that redundancy seems
to be one of the objects of the workmen, by checking
the admission of apprentices rather than searching for
other markets, which are not so easily found. Tire
weaver will find no market for his labour in the yards
of the ship-builder and it is both cruelty and mockery
to tell the sk:lful artisan, who may have passed the
flower of his age in learning one particular branch, that
this business being overstocked, he may apply to some
other avocation. His complaint is, that his old
master has °V us:yoked it in order, by diminished.
wages, to tandersal some other manufacturer. And
if it be answered that the master will be unable
to sell the commodity at his ordinary profit unless
wages are at such a scale, by reason of the lower price
'accepted by the foreign dealer, then the artisan may
reply, that it is a manifest hardship, if the whole mis-
fortune of higher tuaticos and consignment, and con-
sequent artificial prices, should fall on him alone.

Whether it be possible to devise•any means by which
such a complaint may be examined, and as far as may
be redressed, without the odious remedy of combination
and " strikes," is an important question into which our
limits will not at present permit us to eater. We think
it not impossible, and shall return to the 'Object at an
early opportunity.

There is certainly no pleasing some persons; they are
like the man who was flogged, and complained of the
drummer, that be struck too high, and then too tow,
continually discontented ; this is particularly the case
with the French Ultras. Milk politicians of all nations
are speaking of the skilful diphimacy of M. Da VaLet.a,
in his bargain with Hayti, and expressing their surprise
that he should have been able to dupe the President,
BOYER into a bargain so adiantageous to France, a M.
COWITELIN has published a pamphlet in PAIIS, in' which
he violently condemns the whole transaction, and the Mi-
nister by whom it has oeen so successfully accomplished.

President deigned to confide in the word of the king of
' Flung? Was it the union of the health of CHARSIs
X. with that of the Mulatto BoyEa? Our blood boils
in our veins on reading' these disgraceful narratives.
What a leson for the multitude! Why should they
patiently vegetate in misery and humility, when murder
and sedition can exalt them to such lofty destinies?"
The writer then adverts to the state of Spain, and allud-
ing to the death of Ramis:Das, he observes, that " while
a Royalist paid for a moment of error with his head, a
leader of faction, who 'has persevered in his criminal
course, is elevated to the rank of a Sovereign!"
This is absurd raving, and CIIARLSS X. knows, if
M. CM/STRUM does not, that we are all the creatures
of circumstances, to which we are compelled to yield;
and we doubt not but he thinks he has got a good
price for the recognition of an independence which it
would have cost him millions of money, and oceans of
blood, to prevent.

The French Papers List received, announce the re-
turn to Brest of the French squadron from the West
Indies, the appearance of which gave so much uneasi-
ness tb some over•sensitive persons. These Papers con-
tain no farther intelligence from Greece. Advice:
from Napoli di Romania state that COLOCOTRONI had
signed the act by which the Greeks solicited the protec•
tion •f Great Britain, but that immediately afterwards he
had declared that his signature bad been obtained by sur-
prise, and he had consequently protested ag.iinst the act.
—Primo Bay would take no part in the transaction,
and the President, CONDURIOTTIS, had refused to ac-
cede to it. It is said that he had, in very strong terms,
blamed the conduct of MAUROCORDATO in this affair.
We must receive all these statements with due al.
lowance. Some Greek vessels, it will be seen by the
extracts subjoined, have made a gallant but unsuccess-
ful attempt to burn the Egyptian fleet in the harbour
of Alexandria :
