nd to call forth the distinct expression of public opinion
n the subject.
The Committee feel that their cause owes much to those
pq:!ioner, n hn, in the last Session, addressed Parliament
with such pr ,mptitude and effect. They trust ti,-t the
same arnot pleadings nil% he renewed at an early period
of the next Session. They trust that, not only from the
same places which have already raised their voice in the
sacred canes of justice and *humanity, but from every
county and every town in the United Kingdom, one ener-
getic and concurrent appeal will be made to both Houses
of the Legislature, in behalf of our enslaved fellow-sub-
jeets ; praying that they may he admitted, at the earliest
safe and practicable period, to a prticipation in those
ci%il tights and privileges, and in those moral and religi-
mt• blessings, which are enjoyed by other classes of his
Majesty's subjects: and that this nation may not be per-
muted to incur the farther guilt (now that oar eyes are
opened to the flagrant iniquity of such a course of conduct)
of daily augmenting the miserable victims of an unjust and
merciless policy, by subjecting the children, who may
I:creafter be born, to the same state of abject and degrad-
ing botidage to which we have been the criminal instru-
ments of reducing their progenitors.

PARIS PAPERS OF WEDNESDAY.
ARMY OF OF THE PYRENEES.

REPORT OP THE PRINCE OP TIOTIENLORE TO TIIE MINISTER

OF WAR.
" Burgos, Sept. 16.
i hasten to send to your Excellency a copy of the capi-
filiation of Santona, which I have just approved. The con-
ditions are the more advantageous, as the superior officers
and others.wbo acknowledge the Regency, will notpreserve
their employments, rank, honours, distinctions, and pay,
unless the King or the Regency consent. I cannot on this
occasion too highly praise General Se'Helfer, who does not
cease to give proofs of his zeal and great military talents.
" According to this capitulation, the officers and soldiers
who 'hall not acknowledge the Regency, shall be sent to
France by era : but few of the men will be in this case, The
grv.ater part of the garrison is composed of militia, who
desire to return to their homes, and 1 do not doubt but that

. „
many ot the soldiers sill desire to serve in the Royal
tt oups. Accept, &e.
(Signed) " Louts, PRINCE or Nimmons,
" Commander-in-Chief of the Third Corps."

the French General had Dreposed), and should not be
tOoligett to Morn till the 26.11. He shall go to Burgos,

Madrid, I% here he shall speak with whomsoever he pleases:

M. litor. time capitulation of Ferrol, Corunna, and Vigo, the
(love; roc shall begin to deliver the place to the French the
very day the cfficer returns. The liith article provides,
that Spaniards, not soldiers or functionaries, who have
t":1:en refuge in the place, shall receive passports to return

or other, shall be molested for the political opinions he has
m3ilifested to the day of the occupation by the French
troops.
