The Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday, which
'Strived last night, though they contain advice' from
Madrid to the 28th, and from Lisbon to the 24th ult.
add very little to our previous stock of information
respecting the affairs of Spain and Portugal. The
Jaime's's: Debuts, it is true, has the substance of a-Note,
daivered by M. SALMON, Spanish Secretary of State for
Puteign Affairs, to Mr. Latta, the British Ambassador.
This cr mmunication, though its importance is studiously
dined over-in tie French Opposition paper, is, beymask
all comparison, -the most conciliatory that has been yet
made by the Spanish Government to ours. It speaks in
strong terms of indignation of the conduct of the Gene-
rals fur suffering the Pottuguese rebels to re-enter Spain
without putting them under arrest, and taking away
their arms. It then announces the proceeding:that are to
be instituted against them, for having disobeyed their
orders. If we are to believe the Journal des Debats, this
Note was received in a very cavalier-like manner—an
insinuation utterly at variance, as every one knows, with
the courtesy which distinguishes our diplomatic inter-
course. At the same time it forms no part of Mr.
Lama's instructions to deport himself haughtily towards
the Spanish Government, particularly in a case like the
present, where the explanations are as satisfactory as
possible. He may have often been called upon, in the
course of these proceedings, to use a very firm tone;
but there is a wonderfully wide distinction between
firmness-and arrogance,though ourPrench contemporary
is pleased to confound dem. As to the statement in the
Qaceidienrae, that the order for placing the Spanish Ge-
nerals on their trial, is a mere feint, we are excessively
mistaken, if the accused themselves regard it in this
light. We suspect too that the opinion has not met
with Much credit even amongst the party for whose
edification it was written. The most stupid or prejudiced
ultra in all France must be now aware that it is not so
easy to gull the British Cabinet, or divert it from its
purrse, as the Quolidieune pleasantly insinuates. King
FERDINAND 100 is not a man to put persons or principles
in competition with his own interests, or to hesitate a
moment between the sacrifice of his agents and can
for his personal security. He can get rid of his predict
tions and antipathies as easily as he pulls off his glover',
'when oneuthey.stand in his way; and who, that reflects
on 'chi base and tawdry staff-di whieli,the iiitellites of
despotism are almost' in every instance composed, can
blame him, or any other Despot, for trampling upon
them, when it would be dangerous to employ them
any longer?
The two Swiss regiments, which recently left Madrid,
. and upon whose ulterior destination so much rash con-
jecture has been hazarded here, as well as at Paris, are
ordered into France, which disposes of the question at
once, as well as of a report that the French Government
intended to reinforce its army in Spain. If we do not
egregiously deceive ourselves, that Power would much
rather withdraw it altogether, than augment its num-
- hers ; but such is the dilemma in Which it is placed, by
its wanton interference in the domestic concerns of Spain,
that there is equal 'danger in the two alternatives.

This morning we have received Brussels Pipers to
the 7th, and the Algenteisee Zeii*osg to the Ist instant.
In the Netherlands, a Commission, composed of four
Atimirals, has been appointed to inquire into every thing

that may hare caused the diaasteis experienced by the
. Wassenaer and Watesloo. ..The Captain who com-
tqanded the former ves,el; has 'desired that his conduct
maybe subjected to a judicial inquiry, a request that
has been complied with. From the 45th Jan. to the
Ist Feb. the number of deaths at Groningen was4ol3,
hich is one mote than in the preceding week. We learn

from one of the Brussels Papers of the 6th that Count.
SlDlVllLlEllithesans flutmearmtek4 has commissioned
we of bier filmstrip France to Subscribe 1,000 francs
towards the monument to be erected to Davie, and
another sum to the Owe anima- to the monument
TRtstA. A letter from Dusseldorf' says, that the Pro-
vincial Assembly of the Rhenish Provinces, before it
broke up, chose a Depitation of its Members to
go to Berlin, to form part of the Commission for
the revision of the Codes► which► it appears, are to,
be of a uniform character throughout the Prussian
Monarchy, notwithstanding the diversity of inte-
, rests and customs in the several provinces. But
despotic Governments do not mind such things,
whatever their subjects may feel on the occasion; and
we suspect that his Prussian Majesty will not add by
the present measure much to his popularity in the
Rhenish provinces. What is their attachment, however,
provided they pay their contributions, and furnish the
number of recruits required for his army? We learn
from Bavaria that that Government intends to send in
the Spring an experienced Miser of the Staff, to Eng-
land, France, and the Netherlands, for the purpose of
making himself acquainted with the recent improvements
in the artillery that have been made in these countries.
There is no political news whatever either in the
Brussels or German Papers, unless we make an creep-
ticrs in favour of en article in the latter, under the head
of St. Petersburgh, 17th January. and even this is rather
speculative than otherwise. It speaks of the great effoits
that are to be made in the Spring, to bring the war with
Persia to a speedy conclusion. In the mean time, the
two armies have retired into Winter quarters, with the
Arazes, which is the boundary between the two Em-
pires, interposed bet Ween them. It is confiJently ex-
pected, hostver, that the influence of Great Britain will
be exerted to prevent a renewal of hostilities.
