A very singular motion. was List night
made in
the Douse of-Commons, viz. for a Select Committee
to inquire into the truth of the doctrine of Contagion
ire the Plague—keeping in view the inconvenience of
the quarantine laws, which are unnecessarily strict if
the Plague is epidemic and not contagious. We hope
with. Mr. Wystr, that the Houie will pause Wore it
ventures to legislate, should the Anti-nontagionisti
succeed in making out even a plauSible case. ShOttlir
the quarantine laws be abolished, we think the Mal-
thusitet would soon be gratified with a powerful
check to an overgrown population ; the only plape
with which this felicity could be alloyed would ber
that the blind Pestilence might, contrary to the pro-
visions of their system, visit the habitations of the Bich.
hfr. DENNLTT moved for leave, which was granted,
to bring in a Bill to abolish the system of employing
climbing boys. The heart of the country goes with
him in this measure. 'We would beg to suggest to
him a remedy for the few only cases to which neither
the machine no: the ball and brush have been found
applicable—tamely, those flues which break re.

zontal portions.—Let a chain (like a stout jack-chain)

introduced, always furnish the means for attachinga

meats of a brush attached to it.

41 While endeavoutt are made to impose on Europe
And America, wish respect to the real situation or
Spain by pretending that it has at least found tran-
Laad
*tidy under the double yoke of King Ferdinand
nd the Inquisition, events come and throw a gloomy
terrible light round the abps towards which this
A-fated country is verging. Whatever care may be
taken to conceal the detail of the horrible scenes of
which the city of Valencia has recently been the
'theatre, they are proved beyond dispute, by the offi-
Adel document of which I send you a copy. It is the
literal Proclamation which General Elioithe Cover-
4sor of the Province, ordered to be printed on the
day of execution. It sounds like the roaring of a ti-
ger gloating over its prey, and afraid of seeing the
least particle of it escape. Even the King and his
Ministers disapprove of such ferocious language, and
intend, it is said, to deprive of his office, the man
who has dared to use it.

Suffer not yourselves toted any pity at the spectacle which
'has this day been presented to your Utellilbed eyes. but consider
the enormity of the crimes which brought these monsters to
daub and the shame of the scaffold. Their conspiracy tended
to no less than the subversien of the Monarchy, HP the destruc-
tion of our laws, to the muhiplication of veageanceand
by causing ri►ess of blood to flow. They wished to cover the
Spanish people with sternal disgrace, by exposing yon to appear
she accomplices of their atrocious schemes.

But they thought fit to execute them without your assis-
tance; they knew that they tong nut rec►on, either on the in-
habitants ',this city, or on the garriion : scarcely did they feel
sulkiest hardihood to trust to their own arms: they invited to
their aid assassins by profession : they attempted to open the
prisons, and set tier tbegreatest.critninals,ia order to,.perpetrate

the most heinous crimes with the co-operation of such auxilia-
ries.'—[ fow do you know that, and why, if you did know; it, did
you not prevent it PaovtosNce, which watches over you,

makes use of

means (probably the channel of

erefeedon) with supplying you with the power of exterminating
tot MIMIC, of the throne, ofxbe laws, and of Religion (perhaps
the Inquiiition), and the disturbers of Spain : It has enabled us
to surprise and to conxict the thirteen monsters whoa you have
seen expire this morning.'—{ Why not put proofs In the glisce of
all this declamation against t►e dead';--' Inhabitantsof Valeneli,
these traitors are not. the Only ones wha exist among you : they
,have partisans and satellites in the midst of veiny part of the
nation.'--{'What! had the plot extended Calker ? Why, if the
people are so satisfied with the Government

Loyal Inhabitants, SoWen worthy of Spain, you who Lave
in all times been models of fidelity to the King, of wilniiisslon
to the laws of your fathers—you whose indignation and laudable
zeal are striking proofs of your hatred of these monstois, de-
nounce 'bent all to me, and I will annihilate tkeni.'—( Why do-
' maim them in this way, when you already know who they are?
If you do not, you are accusing at random, and on the untislls
of nbscure and anonymous information; yuu ate pronouncing
clnderanation in secret, without kllowinp the parties to defend
I:themseives.]•••••6 Your happiness, your peace, are interested In
this matter. While one traitor shall exist, do not expint any
tranquillity In your houses. Until the erroneous slid per:deduct
maxims of licentiousness shill be utterly extirpated, fathers, you
will no loner have obedient children—husbands, you will have no
longer tender and constant wives ; there will be no more friend-
ship—good faith will no longer preside over commercial bar-
galns—.the laws will lose all their vigour—the very memory of
the social virtues will be effieed.'—(This picture is more accu-
rate than flattering.)

• We s►a4l end by murdering one another. The son will kill
his father and mother, If this picture terrifies you, or appears
a mere chimera, cast yesittyes qt France ; and you will find all
realized bj the history of ear own times. The principles which
destroyed that Monarchy are the very same which are preached
up by our enemies, and with whit they-seek to dtaw us to our
ruin. (It is sot Preach principles, bet the insane follies of the
Court of Modred which will destroy the Spanish Goverament,)
• Hut be not a‘ Lid ; Goo, who protects our Catholic nation.
has inspired it with the highest virtues ; and no one will succeed j
In making It forget its duties to its King and its holy religion.
For the preservation of that Religion, and for the defence
of the Throne, Chiefs of tiled fidelity abound in our provinces.'
Valencia hoot without them. As soon as your General shall hare
had breathing-time, you will see him at the head of men of worth.
• Valencia, Jan. 60.2919. (IMO • ELIO.'
-1 These sanguinary executions were preceded and
followed by a Inultitude of arrests at Valencia and in
the environs ; and by several condemnations to the
fortress, that is, the sallies of Ceuta, on the coast of
Africa, where they are so badly treated, that few in-
dividuals live two years.

".It appears that the proofs of the conspiracy were
not very strong, for Ferdinand, who is not reproached
with any taste for clemency, bad ordered a suspen_
Pan of the sentence, of .fleath ; but General Elio was
so mach in haste, that the respite arrived too late.
Among the thirteen capitally punished, twelve
were shot with their backs turned, as is the case with
traitors. The 13th, Coked Vidal, suffering under
indisposition. wilialianieths Ise place of execution
,ou a trafialkiftiliangiakeillseing the chief. It is
principally ems' the Oaten of the army, and
among the higher tanks of society, that the disaffec-
don is fermenting, and that the King is reproached
with the violation of all the promises which be had
,made on his return from France.

" They cannot conceive how, after baring caressed
Bonaparte, so far as to have requested to be adopted
by him, be could show himself so inflexible against
those who then made the most active exertions for
the deliverance of their country ; or against those
who, after his own example, yielded to necessity.
Bat cansiderationsof this kind do not affect the lower
orders, who are led by habits of submission, and en-
thrall giVen up to the inattNlC:t of the Clergy and the
Monka..,:4oiteb is the muse why se many conspira-
cies, among othats those of a Mina, of a Porlier, of a
Lacy, and lately that of Vidal, failed in their accom-
. plishment; and tutted to the destruction of their au

thors. The nation is in great distress ; their povc-7
overwhelming;his their want of money extreme; IR.:
patience and resignation, are the predominant
torts of the Spanish character; and unless eve::s
happen on which it is difficult to calculate, it is pc,.
sible that this deplorable state of things may conti•
nue a long time. '

The following statement, which appears in a Ge:-
mats Papir, deserves, if correct, the serious attettio
of the admirers of the German Dramatist :

FRANKFORT, JANUARY!"

' The death of the Queen of Ntiirtemberg has 116.
vered Germany from an o.:se,-ver placed there h 7
Russia, and Germans congratulate themselves -;;Ta
an event which will have a great influence tlior, use
existing Governments.
The Diet met. The Meech of the President, Cr ;int
Bush, was as insipid as all the rest made by hint
and the other diplomatists here. Saveral pet'tions
have been brought before the Diet, but nor.e have
been decided upon ; and it appears that thiz astern-
' blage of A mbassadorshas no other n'oject than to keep
people in expectation of things which will never be
realized.

It is expected that a very liberal Constituton
be introduced into Prussia, and above all, that the
liberty of the Press will prevail to a great degree.
The Prince Liechtenstein, an Austrian siii,ject,
whose dominions arc in Nloravia, has introducc,i a

Constitutional Government there, cornro,ed
Clergy and Peasantry. This is the more extr,:co.-th
nary, because this Prince's dominions are situated in
a monarchy where nothing has been done as yet,
either to enlighten or to introduce principles of
liberality.
The General States will meet in Bavaria. It is
generally supposed that the discussions will not ter-
minate as quietly as the Government wishes, am!
there is no doubt that several privileges of the
stets will be retrenched, and partienlarly that the

army will be considerably reduced.

All the banished French in this neighbourhood
have great hopes of returning soon to their native
country.

Kotzebue will soon leave Manheim, and return m
Russia. He has lost his character so much, by hay-
ing degraded himself to be a spy upon his own coun-
trymen for Russia, that his departure is viewed by
the Germans with pleasure. Some time back he re-
sided at Weimar, where he was employed as Chief of
a System of Espionage upon all Germany. The in-
formation which he thus collected was formed into
Reports, which he wrote in French, and gave to a
German to copy, having first taken care to ascertain
that he did understand that language. This conti-
nued for some time, until the Editor of the oppositica
Journal of Weimar went in by chance to the apar.-
ment of the copyist (with whom he was acquainted),
whom he found very busily employed. Admirity
the beauty of the writing, he took up one of the'
tors, and perceived what the subject of it was. 1
tending ignorance, however, he asked what was
nature of the contents? The copyist replied, that
could not give him the information he desired, as
did not understand French : that they were writ:::
by M. Kotzebue, who for a long time had emploie.l
him to copy them.
The Editor then requested him to send him in •
tune all letters which he received from M. Kotzebte.
which he complied with. Upon perusal they weir
found to contain secret reports of espionage upon 64.'
many, and were for the purpose of being comma,•
cated to the Emperor of Russia himself. In order'
put a stop to this practice, and to manifest
world the honourable nature of M. Kotzebue's
ployment, the Editor published them. M. kotzei ur.
enraged, commenced an action against him, in whic!-.
however, he was cast, and was condemned to pay
fine of 600 Louis, and to publicly beg pardon in I
German Papers. Such is the true character 0:
Man who has so long deceived the world.
