Bayonne Papers arrived last night to the 18th inst.
They state, on the authority of letters from Madrid. that
a ready made Constitution, sent by the 14'i-each Govern-
ment to Spain, had been communicated by the Marquis of
Talaru to King Ferdieand, who immediately hid it
before his Priests, by whose nnanimons advice it was
rejected. 'lt is even added, that so dissatisfied were the
Royalists with the interference of France on this occasion,
that plots were formed against separate d.visione of the
Army of Occupation, the discovery of which led to the"
issuing of a general order to the French soldiers to he upon
their guard. Ferdinand is said to have condemned to
the galleys for ten pars all the individnals who
had filled the post of Alcad-s during the time
of the Constitution, a sentence which included the Mar-
quis of Santa Cruz. Several ladies had been exiled, or
tined and sent to prison for several years at Pamplona
and Saragossa, for having sung liberal songs under th,
Constitutional system, and expressed themselves hostik
to absolute desps.tisor.

The late Revolution in Brazil is another of those occur-
rences whirl, belong to these extraordinary times. After a
long sleep of ales, the growing k now ledge of mankind has, at
last, in almost all countries, rowed a spirit of resistance to
superstifiun and tyranny, which may indeed for a time b-
impeded in its march, hot which, in spite of all op-
position, will. and mast, finally trinmpli. --•The
British American Colonies, first started in the ra..e
of independence, and succeeded in establishing it
on the firmest and the widest basis. The spirit of
freedom crossed at len.rth the Atlantic, aid in 1749
I made Louis the Sixteenth tremble un his Throne. The
faithful historian, who may register the frightful deeds
that disfigured the annals of those eventful times, will not
fail to notice, that th, re never were a people. struggling
for liberty. more goaded to swathes*, by foreign conspi-
racies, and internal treachery, than the French, threnghout
their revolution. The Cartes of Spain, more cautious t,
avoid what legitimate hnotanity calls the cruelty of France,
then willing to take prompt and vigorous measures for the
liberation of their tountry, have lost the great cause
which it was once in th-ir power, and at all times, their
duty, to defend. Vet the friends of rational
freedom, have Ii tie to !egret from the choice o
the Holy Alliance, in supporting Ferdinand as the abso-
lute ruler of Spain. If such a man as this, of whom it is
difficult to say, whether be is more distinguished for per-
joule., cruelty or cowardice, is to he field a sacred legiti-
mate, the chances certainly areAthat Spain may again try
a change, which, however unfortnoate, they hwe the
satisfaction to know, cannot possibly render their con-
dition worse then at present. Be, however, what
he may, he is undoubtedly the model, which
his legitimate Brother of Brazil, has taken for
his copy. This Brazilian King or Emperor (for ail his titles
are of his own creation) like his worthy legitimate Father,
after swearing and resweariag, that liberty was the God of his
idolatry, and the great object ufihs Rule the happiness of his
people, has by a sudden and truly legitimate process, preceded
by neither complaint nor notice, surrounded the Hell of the
Brazilian Cortes, with an armed fore, supported by cannon,
dissolved in twinkling his free Constitution, sod cent the leading
members aboard of shit., destined to sail fur Goa, the Paradise
of the list Indies, wheie they may learn at their leisure, the

" The General Court Martial which a semided at the

of the Londou Missionary Society, closed its proceedings
on Monday last, when the same were transmitted to Isis Ex-
cellency the Commander-ha-Chief. The sentence has cot
transpired ; but we should judge, from the tenor of the
following General Order, that the guilt of the accused is
fully established :

"• GENERAL ORDER.
••' Adjutant-General's Office, Head-touters, George-

Town, Nov 28.11/423. -
" The members. composing the General Court Martial
which assembled at the Colony-honse on the 13. h of Octo-
ber last, for the trial of John Smith, of the London Alia-
sionary Society, and which continued by adjournment to
the 24th of November. and whereof IJientensnt-Cotonel
Goodman is President, will return to their duty, the
nature of the proceedings bring such as to render it im-
perative on his Excellency the Comm older in-Chief to
transmit theut for his Majesty's consideration and uliiinste
decision.'
" Mr. Smith was removed from the Colonv-house, whets
he has hitherto heels confined, under a military guard,
yesterday mottling, to the new gaol, where the 21st
Pusileers took the guard, tasted of the militia, in the

for trial."

of Mr. Soane, who had gone down to Windsor by Royal com-
mand, Mr. Britton, to whom ancient architecture owes so
much, took the Chair, and en able and eloquent representative
he proved himself. A great variety of toasts were given by
the Chairman, each preceded by an impressive and appro-
priate introduction. We have seldom heard so neat and an
eloquent a reply as was made by Dr. Hirheck, after the Chair-
-2340 had given •• Success to the Society of Mechanics." After
the !welds of Mr. Suave had been drank with great enthusiasm,
Mr. Graham proposed the health of Mr. Britton, and enu-
