We Dertee of the Regency of the 23d of June, drew his
conclusions, soil called for judgment in the manner and

velvet from performing this act of humanity. It was the,
Advocate of the Paupers who defended him. The Decree
hated by the King at Seville on the 221 Oct. has given
rise to wine hope that a more moderate system of Govern•
to-alt may bs established in Spain. Nevertheless, a great
bomber of the merchants of Madrid, Cadiz, and other
places are setting out for foreign countries. To these are
-aer be added, Dot only the Grandees, and other wealthy
individuals cited by the King's decree, but also several
others who think proper to emigrate without being affected
by that &tree. The Council of Castile has cslcalated and
represented to his Majesty that thecapital taken out of the
countey by these persons will amount to at least forty-five
millions of lielvy piaster (piastres fortes.) Private
letters hew Estresnadura state positively that in the
.pat-affair"! towir-pillte in that province, the French,
11migh reinforced by the 28th regiment and some artillery
hum the capital, suffered most severely. The advanced
road, together with fire pieces of artillery,
was taken. The Constitutionalist army in Ester-
o/mines shows a determined spirit of resistance, and its
'umbers are hourly augmented by the soldiers of Banes-
term jt is particularly amongst the cavalry that this
patriotic spirit shows iiself with greatest energy. II Iron
de Caromlelet, who commands the cavalry, is a most firm and
determhseil enemy of absalnte power. It is said that there
has teen a serious misunderstanding at Saragossa between
the Royalist Mirales and the French troops; it is edited that
several men bare bten killed on both sides. An expedition
W America is talked of here, the command of which into be
given to General Quesada. From letters from Cadiz it ap-
pears that the King has ordered all those recently em-
ployed by the Constitntimial Government to retire to their
native towns anti villages, being finally dismissed. Tt eir
route is to be indicated in their passports, and they are not
to approach within twelve leagues of Madrid. The cause
of the rigorous measures exercised by General Mumma
towards the Governor of Cadiz, was, that besides the
persons he had already arrested, he was de ermined to
imprison all the officers of the City Militia, several persons
employed by the late o..yeinment, a great number of the
Madrid Militia, &c. &c. It is said that General Bournsont
grounded his opposition to those a to on the Duke
d'Aogooleme's decree of Andujar. General I,stre and the
Duke del Parque have been set atliberty. In consequence
of measures taken by the French lis I, the battalion da
la Lathed del 10 de Marro, organised at Seville, which
alreadr landed upon the pier, his not been allowed to
enter the city, end has been ordered instantly to reimbark.
This has been a subject of sincere satisfaction to the Consti•
tuthwalists.

just begun to feel the inspiration of Intoxicating *Alum.
In a contest between such parties, and fin or six to one
against the elder and impotent nation, nothing but mis-
chief can be anticipated; and this jeopardy on our part is
,materially encreased by the temptation which our yet
remaining advantages offer to others. America is am-
bitions of plucking the naval wreath from our foreheads.
France is anxious to rival as is colonies and commerce.
The Emperor of Russia is so elated with having twice con-
quered Paris, that the possession of London itself, some-
times, becomes a ' der/4w* ;with him--when he
relnembers the tens of 'tab who' were. ready
to prostrate themselves bersue•_sth carriage, as be

"magnanimous deliverer of the Continent." To oppose
the possible coosequences of such a genaral rivalry, what
have we in reality left? Mr. Catnip% will give us a speech!
Lord Eldon offers a tear! Lord Liverpool will whine
against too many mouths one day, and against too much
food asiother. Mr. Robinson will cast up our accounts;
and Mr..Haskissob will roach for them. Then, for a

nsge, übe perpetual !" This is all we can expect in the
way of domestic policy. As to foreign business, Mr.
Canning may draw the long-bow in his office,
and send messages, remonstrances, aid protests, as fast
as they can be penned, to every quarter of the globe " saying
to one, go sad to another come:" and being obeyed by nei-
ther. We are told that the good people of England are quite
contented with this ; that like an old cilia's. tired of news and
business, they are only anxious' for a quiet retirement from all
the business of this world. It would be well enough, if this
nrniable disposition could be entailed open all the world; but
a nation of Quakers would have as little chance of repose, in
the midst of the Government of the Holy Alliance,as a mouse in
the company of a hundred grimalkins. •

The compliments occasionally paid to oar system of
repreamt.tion by the leyal party,• are often amusing.
What, for instance, can be more lively than the following
morsel from the New Times, on this subject:—
" Under the tyrant limy VIII. the English Parliament
" was a model of servility and baseness; ander the well
" meaning but misguided Charles 1., the Parliament laid
" its parricidal hauls on the Constitution, murdered the
" King, and enslaved the people. Pros-Rance has
" graciously en tbled as to redeem these errors; and we
" now possess a Parliament, which answers its legislative
"purposes more fully, fairly, and eietsally, than any
" similar assembly does, or can do, in any other nation."
The worthy Dr. Slop has long•been cleaned the ablest
proficient in the art of " armies'," that we bare ever
heard of ; and we think, from -the last sentence of this
qnotation; that he will shortly be able to furnish materials
for a new system of "lying made easy." It is fast possi-
61e that 9 Parliament like sere might fairly and effectually
represent the people, when the parties happened to agree;
best it could not fatly repreient a people, of whom not a
iftieth part have a share In the electioste. France is fat

sUi. of Deputies has much more of the popular spirit in
its composirion. Their deputies have more manliness
about them—and the opposition is a genuine oppoiitionl

by a majority of interested hirelings; and in its results,

Lion of America, where every interest is comprehended;
and where the opinion of the people is the law of the
state := is not that a feller representation, than one which
is in tlie bands of perhaps a hundred borough-mongers?
And fur the earlier part of the quotation, we are fearful

that the name onilenry needs only to be changed, to
adapt it to all stages of the English history, except the
present : —when the virtues of the ministry, and the inde-
pendence of the legislatore, are as obvious as the eocreas•
ing prosperity of the coontry, and the miming resources
which we shall find, when Mr. Canning takes up his
shield to throw over the intere.ts of a wondering world.

A morning paper furoisbei—soute particulars relative to
the capture of Santi Petri, which would, if true, disgrace
both the French army and the Spanish garrison, by a degree
of infamy beyond conception. It is said that the French
bribed the Spanishsoldiers to murder their officers,while the
French made a false attack to cover the alarm : and their
horrible scheme was put in execution. The murderers of
Wear. are innocent men, in contrast with the fiends who
tempted, and the devils who executed such • rourdvots,
business as this. We would tot gillingly believe that the
Bonrbtunt eerld find tools Tor inch villainy.

We are happy to learn that the recent horrible murder
has led to the exposure of a considerable number, (it is
said 200) of those pests to society, called gaming-houses.
At present, the trade carried on in them, is nearly un-
polluted ; but there is no doubt that it will revive again'
when the public mind has been some time directed,to other
objects. The information obtaioed by the Magistrates,
however, ought to be puhlislsed. It is sahl, that gem-
' Ming cannot be prevented; that as fest as one
house is put down, another will be opened; b.
although there are desperate knaves and incorrigible fools
who will proceed in spite of all warning, and in defiance
of all obstacles, there is another elsss, namely the unwary,
♦ho might be preserved from destruction by a full exposure
of the evils that awaited them in such scenes. What
hinders that a list of all notorious gambling houses should
4 published weekly, or monthly, as an appendage to the
" Hue and Cry." Whoever, thee, frequented themotould be
parties to their owe ruin, sad meld hardly Meese any but
themselves for the conseqnences. This would also intineid-
ala the iarelarate gamester, who moot rid himself of the

itch for handling the dice-box or the cares. They would
be obliged to sneak into their haunts, as if they were
entering brothels; and the embarrassment to the manage.
aliment of business under such restrictions, might render it
muds more difficult to hod persons to open
speculations.
