beyond my pretensions or deserts, and Qne I belieVe, surrounded
by many difficulties. But I shall not shrink from them, and
the kind feelings with which your hon'. house have determined
to grace my departure, ought to satisfy any colony that I have
been an honest man, one determined to pursue his duties fear-
less of all consequences.
" Let me, gentlemen, repeat the deep interest I shall feel in
this colony, and I pray heaven to bless all your legislative
measures, and to increase your happiness and fortunes."

His Excellency, the formal business of the day being
now over, rose, shook hands warmly with the Speaker,
and hospitably invited the members to partake of some

1 The affairs of Spain become daily more and more
im-
portant. Our recent intelligence informs us, that five or
. six embassies are broken up. Naples, Sardinia, Russia,
Austria, Prussia, and Holland, thus withhold their re-
cognition of the reigning government! The. Madrid
journals, at least La Revista and Gaceta, make no re-
' serve in stating, that the ambassadors of three of the
powers were required to demand their passports ; this of
course amounts to a virtual declaration of war on the
part of the mob-military constituted government. As a
proof of the strength of the exaltados, or extreme move-
Ment, or, in plain English, the republican party, they
had attempted the restoration of the Landaburian Socie-
ty, under another name, " Regenerators." This society
led to the former revolution, subsequent to its formation
in 1822; and as we are well acquainted with the doc-
trines and principles it then propounded, we may give
our readers a little insight into the workings of the prime
movers and the names and objects of that society, with
which, from personal opportunities, and intercourse with
highly intelligent Spaniards, we haVe long since become
fainiliar. We have'no hesitation in pronouncing it to be
the most desperately jacobinical association in Europe,—
it is the club of the "exallacion," a term of impassioned
zeal which the English language does not sufficiently
convey in one word. The exaltados are the extreme ra-
diCals of Spain. This club has been suppressed by a
focal ordinance published in the Gaceta for the present.
Mendizahal reigns supreme dictator; and the falsehoods
put forth by the military reports, respecting the defeat of
Gomez by the Brigadier Alaix, appear to be the work of
therlerafty Jew financier, to delude the people of the ca-
pita It is now established beyond doubt, that Alaix
'never cati:iedlV'tVith Gomez ; but that he met with a party
of raw dirli(44 following in his rear, whilst Gomez with

his regular troops was four or five leagues in advance,
and unable to,'' aye assistance; but this trick of Mendi-
zabal had the effect of raising Spanish stock in the
French capital, and so far answered his purpose. Not a
word of the repulse at Requenda is stated in the last ac-
counts; and if the Carlist Gederal had approached this
old fortified town, it was most probably a feint to draw
off the attention of the "constitutionalists," as we sup-
pose we must now designate them, in compliment to
Lord Palmerston and his friend Mendizabal! What a
picture of imbecility does our Spanish policy present to
.view ! Were we wrong in our assertions lately, in our
exposition of continental affairs, when we warned Lord
Palmerston of the results? The question of interven-
tion on the part of France in the affairs of the Penin-
sula, has been decided in the negative, as we predicted it

would be. The subject received its final consideration in
a private Council held last week. This we pledge our-
selves to be the case ; and the French minister commu-
nicated immediately to
„the Spanish ambassador the
grounds on which the government of the King decided
against anything more than a formal recognition of the
remaining authority of Christina, without reference to
any course the English government might think fit to
pursue. France has thus finally absolved herself from all
participation in the quadruple treaty ! This decision
cannot fail to produce a serious effect upon the cause of
the Queen Regent, or rather of her ministers; whilst
the base decrees of sequestration which have been re-
cently promulgated will inevitably have produced in-
creased adhesion to the cause of Don Carlos as the only
hope of restitution.

The French Government could hardly have been ex-
pected to involve itself in difficulties through which it
could not see its way; and .yet the decision of that go-
H,ernment cannot fail to weaken the prospects of the
reigning party, left to its own resources and to be sup-
ported by sequestration and forced loans, with a !argil
portion of the population voluntarily supporting the
cause of Charles the Fifth and the law of hereditary male
succession, despite of Ferdinand's abrogation thereof, to
gratify the vanity of a designing woman, led on by a
faction; whilst another powerful party are clamouring
for a republic, and threatening extermination to all who
oppose them, and several of the provinces and cities dis-

puting the authority of the government altogether. Such
a condition of things has not existed since the reign of
terror in a neighbouring state ; and the Regent may be
said to have been left without any party of real respecta-
bility or moral worth whereon to rely ! We have infor-

mation on which we can depend, that the entire army is

• •
imbued with republican principles—at least that portion
of. it which takes a political part, whilst the newly raised
levies are as much in favour of Don Carlos as Christina ;
nor can the fidelity of the provincial juntas be depended
upon.

We are furnished with the reports of the importan
proceedings at Birmingham, and Framlingliam in Suf
folk, simultaneously. These splendid gatherings render
a postponement of our intended observations on the
freedom of the press imperatively necessary; and as we
feel a lively interest in the success of the conservative
cause at Birmingham, we first proceed to notice the re-
sults of the meeting recently held at Dee's Royal Hotel
in that town, the particulars of which have been for-
warded to us in a special form. Without desiring for a
moment to disparage the effcrts made and making in our
own borough, we do earnestly wish to impress on the
attention of our readers, the objects of this meeting. To
our neighbours we say, here is a subject for your emula-
tion. Within five short years the black flag of revolu-
tionary tyranny was paraded through the streets of Bir-
mingham—her churches were desecrated and her morals i
broken down by encouraging scenes which disgraCed a
civilized age, and by an association with principles at
once base in-design and ruinous in execution, polluting
the very natne of liberty. That she should now stand
forth high in her championship of the cause of our God,
our Church and our King, is to us a subject of the
greatest hope, and of. high exultation. We, therefore,
with no small degree of confidence call on the
