bors No considerations ct good faith or
public interest stands in the way of their
present wants or ambiti Gus projects. The
dealers in public securities proceed upon
this conviction, and attach about the same
degree of value to them as is ordinarily
eiyen to the bonds of privileged persons
of extravagant habits and lacks morality.
On the other hand, the march of the
Russian army towards the South is said
to be stopped 1t seems also difficult to
conceive that "the two EmperOrs" could
obtain passage from their troops through
France. The granting of such passage
would amount to declaration OF war on
the part of France against Spain, and
would implicate Louis XVIII. in the haz'
ardous policy of the Holy Alliance.
NJ de Cazes, one of the least violent OF

The Cortes of Spain are taking strong
measures to repress a banditti and insur-
gents. Conspirators, and those who are
taken in arms, are to be tried by military
Commissions. The wretched state Of
Spanish procedure in criminal trials,
which are carried on in secret, and admit
witness the protracted investigation OF
the Cadiz massacre) of indetinate delay,
REQUIRES some amendment. But it ap
pears to us that it would have been much
wiser to have improved the general sys-
tenn than to have established odlous ex-
captions. In no case should any delay,
which is not absolutely necessary for the
purposes of Justice, intervene between the
apprehension of criminal and his trial,
| or between the passing and executing the
sentence. But, to secure despatch, it is
not necessary to have Military Commits
sions it is only necessary to have clear
laws, and simple and rational modes of
trial.
Governor Farquhar has concluded a
treaty with the King Of Madagascar, by
which any persons in that island trading
in slaves are to lose their heads, which,
| we hope, will put an end to this horrid
practice of trading in human beings.

The latest French papers give better
account Of the spirit of the NeapoGtans
than the preceding occurrences led us to
expect. Some corps of Constituencies
had assembled at Ariano, and with them
numerous individuals from Benevento,
distinguished for their liberal opinions,
united themselves. The fortress of Gae-
ia, instead of surrendering itself to the
Austrians, holds out under Gen Bergani,
and the fortress Civita del Tronto, in the
midst of the Abruz zia, is still in the pos
session of the Constituencies. So lit
tie do the Austrians depend upon the sub
mission of the Neapolitans, that they are
Fastening the march of their reserved
troops. aud various divisions are quitting
Naples to complete the subjugation of the
Calabrias and Basilicata, where the spirit
of Freedom still animates the inhabitants.
Disturbances have broken out in Sicily
Assassinations are committed continually
in Naples upon the Austrian troops The

armed bands infest the Roman States
Commercial letters are said to have been
received in London, which announce that
the Sicilians have declared in favor of the

LiUerpool, Mayl.
Events of considerable public interest
took place at Glasgow and at Edinburgh
on the Esd inst. being the day appointed
for the celebration of his majesty's birth
day. In both these places a species of
conflict has prevailed between the militia
ry and the populace; but the account,
which have been hitherto received leave
it extremely doubtful whether these con
tests have originated in some temporary
irritation, or in a more deep-rooted hos
