We copy the following from Bells Lon
,op weekly Messenger Of March IS.

An, article from Italy contains point o.
intelligence Of some importance, 'nasmuen
a. Il appears to confirm very probable OPT
non that the powers of Europe will give a
timely attention and interpositioa in the at
cars 81 Spain. Ii is prudent they should DO
so provided only that such interference De
made with due respect TO the rights OF the
n.opie as well as to the interests OF the
kings. The article to which we allude,
s,lates, that his grace the duke OF Yelling
ton will shortly be charged with Almost im.
nor,an, political negotiation; i Is stated
thai he is 10 confer with the ambassadors OF
the other great powers at Paris, respecting
the affairs Of Spain, and that he will then go
10 Madrid to lay the result before the Spa
n,.b government. The ambassadors It IS
asserted, would receive special instructions
from their courts, and that this important
business would be treated With entire unanl-
nifty by al parties. \,
We must only express our hopes, tina. u
ferdinand be retained upon the Spanish
throne, the people viii have some better Sc
curity Tor bis adherence to any royal charter

LOWER CANADA.
Some difficulties appear TO have arisen Pc
tween the administration ofthe government
&c Lower Canada and the Provincial Legs
lature. On the 18th ultimo, the House o.
& As.smblv passed certain resolutions in regard
- an error-in the writ of election for the
county Of Gaspe, The precise terms OF these
resolutions we have not been able to ascer-
,aiu., as the papers containing them have not
been received. But from subsequent pup
lication, il would seem, that the House re-
solved that they were incompetent to tran
sact any business, because the writ nad MOI
bsen returned, and because the Member
from Gaspe, had not taken seat ~ .ae
House. Avery singular conclusion indeed
that because single member was not IN ms
seat. Or because by accident, single coun-
~ was not represented, the Legislature
must stay its proceedings. :
On the Goth of April, the Administrator Ok
,he government addressed the House oil as
senbIy, as follows;
0entlemsn Of the House Of assembly:
regret exceedingly that the renewal oil
the Acts of the Provincial Parliament, TO
provide for the support Of Foundlings, IN
sane persons, &c.--ior the Agricultural 3d.
e;e,,es of the Province for the Admlnlstra-
.;on Of Jus,ice--and for the preventing OF
the spreading OF contagious aud infectious
diseases, which deemedit necessary to re-
commend to your consideration, has teen
prevented; and the pablic deprived OF the
benefits which they would have derived from
these acts by your resolutions; which my
duty constrains me to say, donot admit to
be in any respect well founded.
To which that body made the following
reply
Resclred, nemine contrdcente, that it APP
pertains solely TO the House TO judge the
question Of competency or incompetency,
without the Intervention or concurrence OF
any other branch Of the Legislature.
The Montreal Herald, among many other
remarks, says. ''these proceedings, If pro-
ceedings they can be called, will be read
with amazement
