FRENCIi iNTERVENtION IN SPAIN.
P
ARIS; JUNE 4.—The Debats of this morning has the fotloiti
ing
"We are entirely igniirant as to the line of conduct which
France and England will definitively decide upon. But if, ai
the English press appears id think, the Melbourne ministry
shall refuse to aid in the pacifiation of Spain, although we shall
regret to see annulled in its prindiple effects an alliance from
which we had expected other results; still we think that Franca
will not, in that case, take upon herself alone the responsibility
of so grave a measure."
Thus the promised intervention is now abancidned; and Don
Carlos is left to proceed to Madrid how and when he may think
fit.

The questions lately put by Lord Londonderrt in the House
of Lords, and the replies of -Lord Melbourne and of the Duke
of Wellington to those questions, are considered in Franee as
amounting to a declaration on the part of England that she will
not interfere in the Spanish question: This decision has caused
so great an alarm amongst the speculators in, and the holders
of, Spanish stock, that they do not know what to be at. A great
many of them at Paris would sell if they could, bUt they are
fully aware that should they attempt to do so, they would create
a panic sufficient to send them down 30 per cent.

SECOND DEOCES-SIONSTRE.
The trial of the defenders of the state prisoners was proreeded
in yesterday. The PreSident called upon the nine defenders
who had been found guilty to address any observations they
might think fit to the court, relative to the penalties to be in,.
flicted on them. M. Sarrut, the principal editor of the lato
Tribune, and M. Trelat, addressed the court in behalf of Bichat
and Jaffrenou, the two gerants of the Tribune and liefurrnateur,
All the others refused to speak ; and Sarrut and Trelat, in so
doing, only did so in order, if possible, to obtain a mitigation
of the- penalty for the two gerants, as the real author and real
publisher of the letter were already found guilty.
It is said that Richat was fount guilty by 125 votes to 17;
Jaffrenou, by 124 to 14 ; Trelat, by 127 to 11; Michel, by 125
to 13; Ravnaud, by 77 to 6.3 ; Gervais, by 83 to 48 ; Beruard,
by 102 to $8; David, by 106 to 25; and Audry M. Puyraveau,
by 103 to 24.

and M. Jaffrenon have been condemned to a fine
of 10,000 francs and one month's imprisonment ; Trelat 10,000
francs and three years' imprisonment ; Michel 10.00 X/ francs
and one mouth's imprisonment, and the others from 200 francs
tesoo francs, and one month's imprisonment each. The sen.
tense against M. Audry de Puyraveau. the deputy; is to IA

SPEECH OF THE QUEEN REGENT OF SPAIN ON PROROGUING
THE CORTES. ' '

"Illustrious Proceres and Gentlemen Procuradores of the
Kingdom,—On finding myself. in the midst of•the Cortes, at
the solemn act of closing the present legislature, I have the
satisfaction al:ldling to mind, that notwithstanding the critical
circumstances in which they were assembled, and the 'evils which
civil discord produces, the hopes which I formed on re=establish=
ing an institution so ancient and so salutary haiie not been
deceived.

"The law promulgated against the misguided prince who
aspires to usurp the throne has completely fixed the seal of re-
probation on a cause which is at once so contrary to the ancient
laws and customs of the realm, and at the same time so opposed
to the general will of the nation, manifested by its lawful or.,
gans, and spontaneously ratified with its sacrifices and efforts:
Painful and deeply to be lamented is the prolongation of a
conflict the results of which cannot be doubtful, but which in
the interval devastates some provinces worthier of a better lot,
and prevents the consolidation of peace iu others. I rely, how-
ever, as a means of putting an end to a war between biothers,
and of establishing tranquillity over the whole kingdom, on the
resources which have been so generously an anged by the Cortes
—on the valour and constancy of the army—on the ilecisiou and
patriotism of the urban militia, and on the firmness which is
the distinctive mark of this magnanimous nation when it has
once announced in the face of the world its resolution.
"It also serves us a point d'appui to such consoling hopes, to
perceive that every day I receive fresh testimonials of friend-
ship and sincere good wishes on the part of my august allies,
whose promises, already specified in the most solemn treaties,
offer a new guarantee to the triumph of the legitimate cause.
The other powers, who have recognised as Queen of Spain my
illustrious daughter, exhibit the same benevolent disposition,
and even those governments which suppose it convenient to sus-.
pend the said recognition, have shown no intention nor desire
of interfering in a question properly and exclusively belonging
to Spain, while, on the contrary, it is but fair to expect that the
wisdom and cautious proceedings of all the cabinets will soon.
convince them that the complete pacification of all the Penin,
sula, under the pi otecting shade of the throne of my august'
daughter, is the sole means of closing the door against danger-
ous reactions and changes, and a necessary element for the,
general repose of Europe.
" It would be useless to call to your recollection the important
labours in which you have been so much engaged, and the bene-
ficial laws which will continue to the nation as an honourable
legacy from this session; if they were nothing more than the
careful examination of the estimates of the expenses and receipts
of the realm, they would serve as an infallible proof that having
begun a career of publicity and of order, pernicious abuses can
no longer exist, and that salutary reforms must successively con-
tinue to take root in the country.
In the branch of finances alone the most important rime
sures have been adopted, such as the regulation of the foreign
debt, an arrangement in itself previously indispensable for
opening the dried up sources of public credit, and for finding
(as, indeed, they have already been found,) resources for
meeting, in extraordinary circumstances; the expenses of the
state, without being obliged to oppress the people with new
taxes and contributions. If the great importance of the sub.
ject— if the variation of opinions—if indispensible delays,
have prevented in this session, already so much prolonged and
so fatiguing, the arrangement of the home debt, it will how.'
ever, serve the government, by collecting together a mass of
matter and. dales, and by removing on its part all obstacles
and difficulties; and the creditors of the state will find the
greatest advantages, when this subject shall be again presented
to the deliberation of the Corteu, without, however, preventing
that in the interval between the one and the other legislature
the government should continue to apply all the means in its
power to satisfy
.any lawful demand in the manner most equita-
ble to the applicant, and which may he considered the most fa,
vourable for establishing and strengthening the credit of the
nation. .

" But this most important object, as well as the other reforms
and ameliorations to Which the government may direct its at-
tention and its efforts, may all be sadly disappointed, if, at all •
risks, the tranquillity of the country and the maintenance ut
order be not insured ; and although Ibe desirous of blotting out •
from my memory all recollections of the events which have oc-
curred in various parts of the kingdom, I have thought it meet
that you should hear from my owu lips the expressions of satis-
faction with which I have received your loyal addresses while
offering sour 'efficacious co-operation towards obtaining that
end, which is necessarily the interesting end of developing pub-
lic industry, and at. the same time of- giving credit and stability
to the actual institutions. _ _ _

" They are the strongest cement of the throne ofmy illustrious
daughter, the protecting shield of alt the ri=ghts of the nation,
the pledge and bond of its future glory: Do you, illustrious
Proceres, and you, gentlemen Procuradores, of the kingdom,
inculcate these principles on the minds of the inhabitants of the
country; let your care and attention be directed from your own
homes to the maintenance and preservation of these principles;
and although you be not employed in the performance of the
important duties of legislators, your zeal will not be badly em-
ployed. in favour of them and of your native country."
Her Majesty having again taken her seat, Senor Martinez de
la Rosa rose and said—" Illustrious Proceres and gentlemen
Procuradores, by the command of her Majesty the Queen Go-
verness, and in the name of her Majesty the Queen Isabella 11.,
I now declare this session of the Cortes terminated and closed."
