Th. srstorri of the English Cabinet is to insulate itself,

tops. What is the result, for its honour and interests, of

cause'. The madman: If (leaven had granted his impi.
oos wish, the Government of England world have passed
into the hands of Hunt and Blar,lett ! Wanting courage to
avow an opinion, and strength to maintain it, the men who
g..vern the destinies of England have recourse to the arms
of the weak— the pen and the tongue. The vaults of West-
minster hare echoed their speeches, the offices have been
e.olted np with despctcht s. the roads covered with cou-
riers, and nothing has I eel) done which the shade of a
ritt or a Chatham would not blush to avow. But a glori-
ous exploit has crowned the lalrours of him who inherited
the inkstand of these great men—the diplomacy of:Donn-
ing street succeeded in disposing of an illusory promise
nt protection to the Corte* for a sum of 40 millions of rials;
but not a v.ssel, not a soldier, conl.l the Constitntionaliers
obtain—tbre English Cabinet withheld all but advice and
projects of constitutions.
Brit the sword of a Bourbon has broken the bonds of
intrigue. The continent of Europe has beheld with joy
the great blow strnrk by Frmee, whilst, alone in the
universe, the British nation tinows nct whether to be
rejoiced or afflicted. Indifferent, however, to the mu-

PrNoma. OCT. I-I.—The hiilitary Cominandant-General
of the Province has issued a proclamation, which declares
the Loan of Carthagena in a state of siege, for having!
refused to submit to the orders expedited by his Majesty
since his delivery, which were. that he should forthwith
recognize his sovereign authority, and deliver up the
fevers!' to his troops, or to those of his lost Christian
Majesty, to be occupied is his name. These orders had
I%een transmitted by his Excellency the Captain General of
`al-ncia and Marna. to the Constitutional Government,
on the 9th inst.• The fl ig of truce whirls entered was
stoical with iovectives: be was even fired npou.
In •thie proclamation the Governor of Carthagena is
designated by onr Governor, e traitor to Me king, and
an twenty to his Royal rights. All the bapahoos and
• companies of the Royal Volunteers are invited to assem-
ble, and take part in the siege.

Extract of a letter from Madrid, Detoiser 17.—Tier
301401 French who are to occupy the Peninsula will
distrihateil through the Provinces according to a rear
territorial division. There will be in Madrid a Marshal of
France to command in chief, but not Duditost, who appears
extremely disgusted with all- that takes place here. It is
believed that this important place will be confided to Lan.
riston. Yott will hear of the repugnance which the French
show for the extreme measures of Ferdinand. It is a fable.
When the Decree of the tat of October tame to be known
here, the Liberals were insulted, outraged, stoned, and
beaten in the streets. The French tali I out
oppose these
recesses, with the exception of the gene d'artnes, who
snatched a few nuf ritta:e men front the fury of the popu-
lace, and who next day received orders to quit illadriti.
Riego has been tried and condemned to death. (le hill
be transferred one of these days to the Town Piison. Cavia
was his Jude, the nephew of the Bishop of Ositta, one of
the Regents, and the crime in the act of accusation is the
-having voted as a deputy of the Cortes the deposition of
the King, during his translation to Cadiz, an-I the nomina-
tion of a Regency.. It is impossible to form an idea of :It:-
horrible treatment to which this unfortunate man has been
subjected. By a refinement of cruelty, worthy of the tier-
oars, the custody of his person was confided to Zaluaga,
one of the chiefs of the rebellion of the 7:h July, who took
a pleasure in tormenting the prisoner in every possible
manner. The populace were permitted, on the first day to
approaelt the dungeon in which Itirgo was confined, and to
load him with insults.
Letters from Alicant and Carthagena state, that several
detachments of these garrisons, as well as the national
militia of these two towns, an 1 of Murcia, Orihoela, anal
several others have gone to join the army of Ballasteros.
In fact, alt those who are tompromised in the Constitutional
party, have every thing to fear from the reaction which is
manifesting itself io consequence of the famous Decree
of the let October. Reposed to become victims of the
populace excited by the Monks, they will everywhere
embrace the resolution of joining the different focuses of
resistance scattered throughout the Peoinsuls.

Duet.,—At an early hour yesterday morning a sleeting
took place in &Kehl near Turnings Breen, betwixt J--
T—, Es 9 a New Iroik, and H M—, Esq.
late of the King's tlermao Legion; the former attended
by P-- W-- Esq., the latter by a Naval Officer.
It was agreed rte fire by signal. The first shot was dis-
charged without effect ; but on the second fire Mr. M.'s
ball struck Ids antagonist's chin, slightly wounding the
flesh. The snoods then interfered i • but Mr. T. demanded
another pistol is such terms as admitted of to refusal.
The demand was therefore complied with, and be was once
aterspslithi; osooded, after which as adjustment was
a with 'acted. It is said that the quarrel origi-
nated at ,a mere the preesdia! evening. in twassquetice
