Diliuse in the (4p:rums-its the spirit which animates

you ; tell ail Frenchmen that you have seen their
father ; that he is. constantly occupied about their
happiness ; remind thrill of the fable of La Fontaine,
on the nece,sit) of union. It is my wish that all
Frenchmen should fiirm one bundle; and that the
Ginstitutional Chaster should be the tie of union. It
is impossible that there should not he differences of
opinion on various questions, while the intention is
at bottom the same, and all directed to the welfare of
the people. I trust that future Sessions mill be
guided by the same•cpirit that has animated you."

ToLesa, Dix. 20.—We read with pleasure in the

Jest Madrid Gazette, that his Alajesty's, after a due
deliberation upon the case of our countryman,

military promotion.

All the maritime cities of Spain are dreadfully
s!a•nretl at the mere apprehension of tier eventful loss
of the Trans-Attantic dominions of Spain, thoug:t m.
authentic intelligeuce yet received warrants a fear to
that extent.

'system of political and religious intolerance have at
length induced a serious, though tardy revolution in
the Royal Councils. The Council of Castile, to
%%hose consideiation the general polity of the king-
ilont was referred, has decidedly recommended a
thorough change of s`-stem ; and we know the King
loves justice, as he protes eery day.
