polkieal *Malice contcted with the members of the
secular and regular Qergy, is produced by ivvolts-
tionary predilection, we ‘ought to behold in it the de.
filbrable result of that opinion, just or unjust, but fatal
in its consequences, by which the ideas of religion and
ignorance, of monachism and fanaticism, are associate.]
_• in the minds of the people. It is unhappily true, that
the Catholic. Clergy is no longer anywhere at the
Inrighiof its authority, and that if it has lost its influence,
* • it is to be attributed rather to its faults, than to the
-philosophy and the doctrines so artfully expounded by
revolution.

Let us come, however, at once to the Monastic Go•
♦ernment in Spain. It is possible that it may be vicious
in many respects. In consulting the History of the
Church, we see that in the best and noblest periods of
its existence, it felt itself bound to work a complete re-
• form in the religious orders, which had been corrupted,
• • and had forgotten their destination in a long repose. It
was thus that Sr. Bernard re-established discipline in
the majority of the monasteries of his time. A similar
revolution produced by the church itself is always salu-
tary. It prevents men of religion from Falling asleep
in the forms of their creed, and obliges them to pene-
trate into its spirit. The monastic life is the highest
degree of perfection to which man can exalt himself.—
It realises, in a Christian sense, that to which the Py-
thagoreans and Stoics of Pagan antiquity had aspired,
although imperfectly. Frivolous Minds can alone mis-
take the sublime virtue and ideal beauty of these insti-
tutions. The most tyrannical illiberalism can alone,
undettake to disperse, by violence, men who have
wished to meet together in the bosom of prayer, and to
practise abstinence in common. We admit, that when
these institutions do not fulfil the objects for which they
were created, they no longer de.erve either consider*.
Lion or esteem. It is not to fat Canons, nor to Monks
wbo have grown corpulent in undisturbed indolence,
that we can pay a veneration which is due to virtue atone.
We have e'en to defend the Monastic Government,
both against the false doctrines of utility, entirely mate-
rial, which are erculated under the title of industrialism,
and again t the administrative maxims of ministerial
• bureaucra y; in short, against the attack, of Protestant.
ibm and democracy. But at the same time we•cannct
sefiain from pointing rut the great abuses which have
been introduced into this very Government. These

, abuses will draw down its ruin eves in Spain, the very
Catholic ; even in Portugal, the very faithful ; even in
• the midst of the triumphs of the monastic cause, if it
does not work out its own regeneration, if the Sovereign
Pot t ff does not take into serious consideration the actual
situation of the tegular and secular Clergy. There is
no medium for the Priests ; either they will be the first
of men, owing to their sanctity, combined with all the
light of intelligence—owing to their evangelic simplicity,
combined with all the capacity of mind; or they will
• be the last, if they compromise their creed and their re-
ligion by their ignorance, by their mere externals of
faith, by a disgraceful indolence.
The misfortune of the Monastic Government in the
•
Petiosula is less owing to the rust which is attached to
it, to the abuses which have been introduced into it,
than to the skill with which a patty of the political
ft tends of absolute monarchy have displayed in trumpet-
tng i;s virtues and its faith. This party, which has
every thing to lose and nothing to gain, is scarcely
composed of any thing ease than courtiers, or lavoureis
of the ancient regime. Constantly defeated by revolu-
-604, because it rests upon no social principle, and be-
cause it only seeks its pea sonal advantages, its momenta, y
alliance with the Clergy has given it ae name of
" Apostolic." Placed in the very face of lkeralism.
and ..rniel eutitefy with its system of absolute monarchy,
it will not under s'and that 4 n aaminittatiee ord. r might
procure to it an ephemeral existence. It sepal ates it•
lions Miiii,taialism, whit': would give it some consis-
tency by means of fi•caliti. This latter patty finds itself
thus reduce) to fight against the ancient regime, with-
. out being. Ale to conciliate revolution. It is equally
impossible lot it t,) make common cause e ith the Clergy,
10 whom at has attached in vain, for the scient e of States
wen turning only in the sphere of an order founded
upon finances, armies, ani police, cannot form a union
. with an order r 111101 al and religious ideas, which belong
to a social composition different from that of the age.
A J urnal has called the raising of the buckler of the
Matt:pis de Chaves an intrigue. It has been with re•tson
rr marked, that it is a singular intrigue which couli arm
the anti revolutionary party of the Peninsula against
the revolutionary party. The affair, connected as it is
with the in,titutions, and the ideas of a whole nati n,
re,ents,itaelf under too important an aspect to come
• under this denomination merely. There is, doubtless,
itutigue in all that passes in Spain and Portugal, but it
is that pet petually existing intrigue by which courtier,
• and statesmen endeavour, respectively, to raire them-
*elves to power. The statesmen, on their part, have
their it tions of order, economy, and good administra-
tion: they can tench!. a nation materially strong and
• powerful, but they will not go beyond that, and will not
permit any action upon the mind of the people, because
their political lever is not sufficiently poised upon na-
tional manners and institutions. A thousand obstacles
embarrass them, a thousand contrarieties vex them,
which they have not been able to foresee, from want of
a sufficient knowledge of the sources of public right,
and for want of having sufficiently fathomed the moral
and intellectual movement of mind. This is the result
when it is attenvted to make good order consist only
in eke regularity of administrative mechanism.
Witb respect to courtiers, or the advocates of absolute
power, tittle is no compensation for the danger of the
agitations which their influence may produce is a State.
With them there is no settled political doctrine. They
pursue a system of favouritism, ill.disguised under the
pompous denomination of absolute monarchy, and
make a vain declaration of the pripciples of legitimacy,
gelid* do not go to the bottom of things. Assuredly
a. throne cannot be surrounded with too much eclat ;
bout at the same time, 4t cannot be encompassed by too
much power. Real power, however, cannot arise from
fanaticism ; it grows, as in England, oat of an ancient
Peer age, seek of spair still possesses in the magnificent
itistitutioas of bur grandees, however it may be cnavated
. by favousitism, and tbeuneertainq of a system of Aso-
lute monarchy. A King is strong m the full strength of
his tubjeets, and ttot in their gradual decay.
It is necessary to know how to distinguish things,
and especially to avoid declamation, which cannot fur•
nisllkany solid instruction. Let us not rise up blindly
qefmst the monachial regime of the Peninsula ; there
is it a real force, a moral capacity worthy of respect.
Let us not, however, allow ourselves to be led away by
a frivolous enthusiasm, for after the cruel mistakes we
have experienced, we should rather feel that er.thesiasm,
Wis, but profound, equal, and less impetuous, which is
the best /Alpert olds akar and the throne.

Witco' Or tux rouges Vinistasi
Nollait Flatas—The discussion about to be opened
to you, imposeeon us the obligation of making known
to you the actual situation of our relations with. the
States whose interests are more particularly connected
with the late events. This is tbe_duty which I come to
fulfil before you.

N At the time of the, entry of the French Army 1100
Spain in 1823, the English Government demanded and
obtained from France, the promise that no hostility
should be committed with respect to Portugal, and
declared that it would consider itself obliged, by former
treaties, to come to the aid of that Power if it were
attacked.

" At the time the late troubles broke out in Por-
tugal, a similar declaration was made by England to
Spain, and communicated to France as well as to all
the great Powers of the Continent, and it was agreed
that Spain should undertake nothing against Portugal,
and that on her part England would watch that .Por-
tugal committed no act of hostility against Spain.
We owe it to truth to say, that England has ful-
-1 pled the obligation which she took upon- her:44 and
that on their part all the Powers have not ceased to
act with a common consent. towards the Cabinet of
Spain, to induce that Power not to furnish to Portugal
any subject of compla7nt.

" However, at the very moment when that Cabinet
gave its assurance th,t the arms takeri-from the re-
fugees shoirld-be given up to the Portuguese Govern-
ment; at the moment when orders were given that the
refugees themselves should be removed from the fron-
tiers, these men have entered Portugal in arms, and this
sudden attack has been ac:ompanied by circumstances
which leave no doubt as to the co-operatiCin of some of
the Spanish authorities, who luad been charged with the
execu ion of the order to disarm and dispels:: the refu-
gees among the interior provinces.

" France, which had the greatest r ason to preveni
all hostilities on the part of grain,--France, sel3cll
had the most right to b: listened to,-.France, whose
intervention should have inspited Poitugal and Eng-
land with the greatest security as to the fulfilment
of the engagements of the Spanish Cabinet—could not
remain indifferent to events. which made appear in a
manner so evident, either contempt fur its counsels or
the impotence of its influence, and the King's Govern-
ment had immediately to testify its disapprobation by
recalling its Ambassador froit: Madrid. France does
not contest with England the tight resulting (*tom its
duty—the right imposed on it by a long bet ~f treaties
to go to the aid of Portugal. It will continue its
efforts to prevent the renew al of acts which have
authorised the measures taken by the Brit;sh Cabinet -
it will omit nothing to prevent st rupture baween.
Spain and Portugal, and it hopes to succeed ; it has
alteady taken with regard to the Cabinet of Madrid, iu
concert with all its Allies, steps :he most likely to attain
this object. It continues to receive front the British
Cabinet the mast positive assurances of its entire co-
operation. Nothing which has taken place up to the
latest events authorises the• King's Government to raise
any doubts on the sincetity of these assurances : on then
part, the Ministry: of the King are-firntly determined
to advise his NJ ajesty to refuse his support to tie Spa-
nish Government, it, by its own' fault, it puts Portugal
under the necessity of assuming a hostile attitude!
towards it. •

" France cannot, then, be reduced to renounce the
arivantages of peace, except by circumstances which we
are far from foreseeing. Her good f.aith a .1 tier dignity
would not permit tier to support so unjust and pas.
%innate acts, which 'have only taken place in contempt
of counsels which hive been given, And ',manses which
base been made.

' It is by thos following the rules of justice—by
respecting the faith of treaties, and the rights of other
Powers—that France preserves al her advantages for
sustaining her own rights, and even those of Spain,
should she be unjustly attacked.
d' It was by defending the principles of order and
legitimacy, that England came out victoriutis from the
long and sanguinary contest which she sustained against
the French Revolution. The same success will attend
use if ever we should, in our turn, ls,called upon to
defend the same principles." •• f..

It is reported, that yeiterday, in, the discussion on the
Address, the Minister fur Fore* Asks made to the
Chamber of Peers a declaration on the subject of Spain.
In this declaration, the Minister for Foreign Affairs
complained, as England has done, of the conduct of
Spain towards Portugal, and officially announced the
recall of the Marquis Demoustier. It is said that Baton
Pasquier spoke, and that Viscount Chateaubriand
delivered a very energetic speech on the speech of
Mr. Canning. But the Chamber having decided be-
fore hearing the speaker, that no speech should be
printed, the public will unfortunately be deprived of
the knowledge of this debate, which, however, it is so
important to them to know. As it appears by the offi-
cial bulletin, the result of this debate was the sending
back the Address to the Committee, which will, at two
o'clock this day (Wedue,day), present another project
to the Chamber.

TRUK THE arms, DATED TIEURIDAT. •
The discussion yesterday in the Chamber of Peers engages uni-
versal attention. The Minister for Foreign Affairs declared yes-
terday to the Chamber of Peers, that the French Government had
recalled its Ambassador from Madrid, in order to testier to the
Court of Spain its formal disapprobation of the suriport which
the Spanish Authorities bad given to the enterprise of the
Portuguese refugees. The Minister tuned himself to chew
that France had acted on this occasion, with respect to Por-
tugal, In the same manner that England, in 1823, had acted
with respect to Spain. England then prevented all aggression in
favour of the Spanish Consdtutionalists, oo the part or the Ports.

This meaning we have received by Express the Paris
Papers of Wednesday and Yesterday's Etoite. They
solve the problem of peace or war, as will be seen by
the substance which we give of the Speech, delivered by
the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the Chamber
of Peers,, on Tuesday last. The disclosures, sihich he
made on that occasion, fully acquit his Government of
having instigated, or even connived at, the attack upon
Portugal; whilst, in speaking of its authors and abet-
toi s, hi% language is as strong and indignant as that em-
ployed by our own Ministers. It is clear both from the
matter and manner of his discourse, that the Spanish
Government must not count upon the sympathy,
much less upon the protection of that of France,
should it pursue a reckleu course of policy at this mo-
j ;bent, and prefer defiance to reparation. It is also
certain that the French Cabinet fully concurs in all the
measures taken by our own with respect to Portugal;
an it would further appear, that these measures were
taken with the approbation of all the other great Powers.
Whilst N e rejoice at this concurrence, we are persuaded
that it is a tribute to the enemy, as much as to the,
wisdom and justice of those proceedings; and if we are
correct in this opinion, it shews that half measures are
not only unsuitable to the dignity, but detrimental to the
interests, of this country. By their promptitude and deci-
sion in the present instance, Ministers will probably stifle
a most alarming cause of danger at its birth; whereas,
had they adopted a temporising policy, the evjl might
bare gone on increasing until it would require an im-
mense expense of blood and treasure to put it down.
In the meantime, it is confidently expected that the
immediate effect of those proceedings will be to bring the
Spanish Monarch to his senses ; and it is highly probable
that he till sacrifice his present Ministers to his own
jpersonal convenience) and to the hope of saving his fa-
vourite scheme of government. It is also very likely
that she Governors-General,who supplied the Portuguese

rebels with arms, will be disgraced, and, perhaps,
punished, it being a sound maxim in Spain, to throw
the agents overboard, when their conduct has placed the
Master of the State Vessel in a perilous dilemma.—
FiRDINAND may thus obtain a respite for the
system he has established ; but that such a scheme
of government shall last much longer, it is pre-
posterous to suppose, and, in fact, the supposition
is inconsistent both a ith the guarantees that will be
required by Portugal, and with the existence of her liberal
institutions. It is impossible that despotism can co-exist in
One country, with liberty in the other ;nor, indeed, is it
possible, that the two Powers can cultivate friendly re.
lations with one another, unless their institutions assi•
milate in some degree. There can be no pledge of solid
peace for the Peninsula, and no security for the rest of
Europe, until the Spanish Monarch be induced to re.
model his Government; and as circucustauces fit lION

'emniefttly• favourable to such 'a purpose, In us
that they will not be neglected.

The follctiting Private Letter was received in iowti
this morning:

PARIS, 'Zebuboar, D. 20, Tulare o'CLoott.
The discussion last night in the Chamber of Peers did not ter.
tulnate till half.past six o'clock : it was, consequently, too bite te
dispatch to London its result, virisliony chance of arriving on the
following evening, in time to be useful. Its result was of the own
' pacific tendency.

The French Ministry predett the utmost zeal in their eadeatrim
to prevent hostilities betwedn Ranee and England.
News are. anxiously looked for ever, moment from Madrid. Pa
French Ministry entertain the full expectation, that as soon as
hostile declaration of England, backed with the indignant ten
'trances of the French Cabinet, shall have reached that capital,
Camarilla will be thrown into consternation, and Feanision wg
endeavour to appease the storm by sacrilcing to it bi. intriguing
oilers. Even this may not be sufficient to evince the sincerity ey
his future intentions, but it is probably all that he can do in tic
fin/ instance, as an atonement for his past conduct.

As a condition of the zealous co-operation of France in protecti:i
Poifugal from the hostile aggression of Spanish fanatics, the Pre..ca
Cabinet has required of the English Ministry that they shall not i,%,
upon the coast of the Peninsula thiexiled Spanish Coneirutionali•ts
Tbdi, in order that General Lonna, that the Captains-General sib„
aided the insurrection of the Marquis of Octets, that the towthu.
rities of Aymonte, who encouraged the rebels of the Algarves,
and that the Governor of Badajos; who supplied arms to the to.
aurgentsof Alentejo, may be dismissed, or punished by their owa
Government, Alms, Tannings, Qutactoo, and their friends, m
not be sent to overturn the existing Government of Spain, ors,
niche disturbances which must compromise the safety, of the French
Army of Occupation. I shall make no reflections on this fact.
Pout o'CLoce.—l have just seen a Gentleman, who has gives
me further details of the discussion of yesterday. Dastas bey.s
the sitting, by declaring that France was in perfect under,tand:i.g
with England on the affairs of Portugal and the arrangentents
of
Spain. That a certain faction in Spain bad, by its cuipable intrigues,
fomented disturbances in Portugal, which nobody more desired to
see terminated than himself, and that his Most Osmium MA.:
lISTT, being dissatisfied with M. in MONSIIIRS, his Ambassador at
the SpanishCourt,bad recalled alm.This declaration Is now printing.
M. Baron de Ras/aunts defended Mr. Camino; and the Eng.
Usti Ministry, in their language respecting France, and the con.
sequence of the French invasion of Spain. If any thins war
too strong in Mr. CANNING'S speech, it should be ascribed
to the beat of debate, and the hurry of extempore speaking.
—When M. no CHATEAU/GUANO was about to ascend the tribune,
with his speech in Ids hand, M. Di Ponrecont.aor, a Member of
the Liberal Opposition, rose and asked the Chamber to decide that
their speeches should not be published. He assimilated the met:.
ing of the Peers to discuss the address to the secret sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies. M. CHATEAU/INLAND objected to this cot-
cealment, but submitted that his light should b.: put. under a
bushel, and read his harangue as he bad Written it. It was to
the following effect : —He said that the declaration of tte
Minister for Foreign Affairs was, in his opinion, pne 'of !Iv
strongest diplomatic documents which existed, perisaps, in the
whole word. Ile declared that the enterprise of CHAVES was
real rebellion, and the overthrow of the Portuguese Charter
would be a great calamity. The declaration of the Minister DAMAN
he said, justified all the vehemence of Mr. Cansomo-'s Speech. It
accused the Spanish authorities of perfidy. In fine, it would give
England the right of making war on Spain, if England thought such
a war useful to its interests. Mr. CANNING might declare that war,
and support Its justice,on the Speech of a French Minister, If
England invaded Spain, FasansaND might tell the French 'Geneeals
that a French Cabinet had sanctioned such invasion; that the
French Cabinet had recalled its Ambassador; that it had train.
mitred severe notes to Spain, might be well. But why let the
public into aft these secrets ? In short. whatever may be the wrongs
aid blindness of Spain, has FELD/NAND ceased to be a Bourbon,
and have we shed our blood and spent our gold In Spain to ',nide
ourselves to be the denunciators of FtIiDINAND the Address, as ,
drawn up by the Duke Da Levis, was entirely 'clanged'. The
paragragh about the Press was entirely rejected. The paragraphs
about Spain and Portugal, and "our Allies,' were likewise struck
out, or completely altered. In short,,this poor Addrese was so
mailed, that it was thought better to make a new one than to
mend it. It was, therefore, sent to the fittreasii. with an order to
draw up a new one. This one was presented aklay. It's fate I
have not yet heard.--rrensess

This morning we received Sc. Petersburgh Journals
to the Sth instant, and Dutch Papers to die 20th instant. The
former contain only matters of local interest; and the latter present
as little attraction for thjnf:nneral Reader. It is stated Wider the
head of Brussels, that el Snivw, who resided there, had re.
cvived orders to return to England, his Regimens forming part of
the expedition destined for Portugal
We learn from Munich, that a new rude of regulations has been
just published in Bavaria, which are said to be favourable to the
trade of that kingdom.

We have great pleasure in stating that there is a con-
siderable improvement in the receipts of the Revenue of
the present Quarter. The improvement has rapidly
continued lately ; and there is the most cheering pros-
pect, that when the accounts are finally inade up, on the
10th of next month, that they will afford infinite satisfac-
tion, and show that the returning prosperity of the coun-
try is likely to speedily terminate our present distress. As
a proof of the improvement, the receipts in one week of
the Quarter were greater by 1100,0001. than the corres-
ponding week of last year. The improvement is not
confined to the Excise, but it is also considerable in the
Customs.

The intelligence from the manufacturing districts
would seem to warrant the conclusion. that theindustry
of the country is returning rapidly to its former state,
and that the prosperous state of the Revenue is sympto-
matic of a general prosperity.
