lightened, are exiled from that city. All who have offended
him, either by actively engaging in the Revolution, or
passixely submitting to it, be deems his mortal enemies ;
and the French do not hesitate to call hint a ferocious
blockhead, who will not take one reasonable step to pre•

There is no opening his eyes to his own situation; and
many who wean earnest for his liberation, from a this.
taken idea that it would tranquillize the country, now
most heartily wish that he was skit up again.

The war in Catalonia still continues. Nor has all
resistance ceased at other points. There are reports that
Murillo, although treacherous to the Cortes, is not disposed
to tram himself to the generosity of Ferdinand. Ballasteros
is represented as being more actively in arms against
Ferdinand, than he ever was against the French ; stud his
troops are admitted to have declared openly in favour of the
Constitution. We thought it probable that the liberation
of the King would only increase the dificalties of
the liberating army, and this has proved to be the case.
We wish the present had been made sooner to the
French, since be was delivered op to them at last; because
the necessity of guarding the King kept many men from
port. shire they coed have been more useful, If they had
not been plagued with the royal 6wriheis, the Cortes in-
stead of abutting themselves up in Csdis and Seville,
where they could do nothing for the constitution, might
have dispersed themselves in the various provinces where
their influence lay, and roused the people from their shame.

by the renewed despotism of Ferdinand, than it could ha*
been by the greatest energy of the revolutionists. Men who
are lasensilile to reason, are yet alive to the injuries they re-
ceive. They can feel a blow, who cannot comprehend an
argument; and the renewal of the oppressions of the Court,
will work wonders upon the sensations of the people.

The French Minister of War has been exiled fro*Parie,
on se embassy to Vienna ; and a distinguished ultra. Damn
ban been made War Minister in his stead. This has led
some to the conclusion, that the French ultras are about to
raise the cry of "Long live the absolute King ;" and that
this is a preparatory step to the abrogation of the charter,
and the restoration of the national domains to the clergy
and to the 01. l nobility. This object has always been
avowed by the ultras, as extremely desirable; and the sue.
cess of the French troops in Spain has induced them to
think that the results t the revolution in France may be
as easily overthrown. Whether they calculate rightly or
not, we cannot pretend to determine. The people of most
conntries seem base enough to submit to any thing which
their master, think fit to propose :—and from the race with
which the Bourbons were forced upon the acceptance of
France, it may be inferred their s'avm Will submit to any
degree of insult and plunder.

It is confidently reported that the Marquess de Casa-
treks. well known from his long and noted residence in the
United States, is to be the new Ambassador of his Catholic
blajesty to the Court of St. James's.

A negoristion which is now going on between the Bank
and a certain Nol.le Duke for between three and four hum-
tired thousand pounds of the sum which they are about to
invest on mortgages, will serve to guide ns as to the effects
likely to rtsult from this new system., The Noble Duke in
question is one of the most p rtent of twitr floronghmongers,
returning S or 9 ileuslwrs to the House of Commons.—As
the Bank will have the complete contronl of the Estate.

influence which this eontroul gives in the election of
Alembers, just as a late Senator whose death is such a
national lox-, obtained his seat by his power over its Irish
estate. We may be snre that the Rank, in trying out their
money, will give a preference to the estates of great
Boroughttiongers; anti them can be little diffienlty iw
anticipating the use they will make of the influence thereby
obtained by thern.—(Mornimg. Paper.)

term •' Spanish" Antericainto the circular from the Fe
reign Office, notifying the appointment of Consuls, is now
said to have teen an oversight on the part of the clerk %elm
prepared the letter for signature, and that expression, which
it nes justly apprehended would prove offensive to the new
Governments, is not found, we are assured, in the diplomas
or credentials of the Consuls. A degree of dexterity was
requisite, however, on the other hand, t t avoid the intro-
domion into the diplomas of any tern s by which a recogli-
tion of independence might be implied. No mention is -
made, for example, of the Republic of Coismbia,of Chile.

ANOTHER ATTACK ON TUE Dean.—Cork, October 17.--
We understand from a rrspeetable source, that on Wed-
destlay last, the Church-Wardens of liatbcormack, at-
tempted to prevent the interment of an elderly gentleman
(Mr. o.lllamgan) according to the usual forms and erre-
utooies of Catholic hum jai. It is stated to us, that the
Church-Wardens, oo being ;tat, rrogsted as to their autho-
rity. declared, that they a tett ou the express order of the
Lord Risky of Clapp! We arc happy to learn that the
no-i elitism at•empt was frustrated by the cool determination .
of db. Roman Clergymen,who,reEardless of theist Ee4rtiiget
I derruplion.procer• eI in their pious prayers for t t
of the soul of their der-ased Chri.tiau brother.—They. no
dote 1. acted en the kial opinion of one of the best lawyers
tf the country, than whom no ore was better capacitated
to give senor, correct advice, as he knows in full detail all
the penal stature of his country.—Expecting to bear from
our respectable Correspondents in that quarter. as account
of all the circumstances of this disgraceful affair, we shall
ne any further observations for the present ; met*
;deeming it our duty to thank the attendant Clergy's's for
:the creditable example they have given.—(cork Chrosick.)i
