| TO THE NATION.
Spanards Three days have elapsed since ad
dressed 10 you my voice-the voice OF the Chief OF
the State attentive only 10 It's weltare-the voice OF
a soldier who has fought for his countryside
voice OF him who swore 10 dedicate every thing to
the preservation OF the laws, Independence and IL
berries OF the country Since then the evil ex-
pands-the audacity Of those Who falsely invoking
! the name OF the law, hoist the standard Of rebel
hon. and persist In opening an abyss under our feet
increases daily. Osght TO be satisfied with al
dressing you second time 10 show you the since.
rlty OF my principles, OF which no honest man en-
tertalns any Doubt To-day my duties are greater;
my ponucai conscience tells me that cannot ac-
compish those principles unless go out personally
10 combat the enemies Of my country-to over
lurn the sacrlliglous standard under which the
turoers OF the public peacelare sheltered.
wen OF Liberty and OF the Constitution and
Liberals OF good faith who desire the complete
generation OF your country you have already seen,
clearer ihan daylight, that these movements all
ct reaction and revenge. Their object is TO snatch
from you the fruits of the glorious revolution OF
lsO-to precipirate you into anarchy, so TO pave
The way Tor servl,ude. And ought the Regent of
,ne KINGDOM TO remain inactive when the black
tempest OF the political horizon OF Spain Is raging!
! This is what the enemies OF our country would
! wlsh-those who take pleasure in its humiliation
those who are preparing It's chains.
On two like occasions have left the capitalize
present rs more critca greater the perils which
this soldier is going 10 tace; and the more his valor
and consisncy will increase-the courage and spirit
OF those who may consider me as the banner OF our
liberties will be greater To day, more than ever,
am going 10 prove myself deserving OF distin-
gulshed tile Yes, brave liberals will not dis
appoint your hopes
| Spaniarcs! To-day the Constitutional Regent
again promises you that ne will not deliver W. TO
belon and anarchy the reins OF the stare. To- day
swear most solemnly that will tread, with firm
foot, on whatever obstacles may be opposed TO the
liberty the grandeur and the glory of nation

Constitution, long live Donna Elizabeth, the I'd Con-
etitulional Queen OF the SPANS

FROM CHINA Some news from China, though
not quite so late has been heretofore received we

The steamer Vixen, from Bombay and Singa-
pore, having on board Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm,
with the ratification of the treaty, arrived at Hong
Kong on the l6th,an at Macao on the 18th of April
HelnIng, Chinese Lieutenant General, arrived
at Macao from Canton, accompanied by Woo,
Tseln, and Chang Panlung, and had an interview
with Sir Henry Pottinger The object of his visit
was said to be to dlssuade Sir Henry from his in
tentlon OF proceeding TO the northward, on the
arrival Of Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm it being
probable that the Commissioner Keying would have
set out for Canton, Immediately on hearing of the
death OF Eleepoo, and that the business would be
retarded aher than expedited by Sir Henry's pro.
ceeding, as he had proposed, to Shanghai. 1t was
in consequence determined by Sir Henry to await
the arrival OF Keyng, and it was expected that
the notifications would be exchanged at Hong
| Kong
Sir Henry Potunger had applied to the home
government for hi srecal and had expected to hear
by the January mail of the appointment OF success
sor, but the government had beeniunwilling to dis
pense with his services, and he would accordingly
remain some time longer in China. 1t was said that
the supreme control over the whole of the British
naval and military force in China was To he nlaced

| U. S SHr CONSTELLATION,
| MACAO ROADS, April, 1S43. :
Since last wrote, Commodore Kearney has ad-
| dressed a communication to the Vlceroy OF Canton
| relative TO American claims and interests, and sub
sequently had personal interview 1t is said, with
| the Kwhan chou too.
The Viceroy guaranteed that an indemnity for
the losses of citizens in the riot OF last Decem-
| Der should be paid in three months. The Hong
merchants had previously named four, but their pro-
| posdls were made in so vague manner that the
gentlemen interested were apprehenslye that an at
| tempt might be made 10 evade the claim altogether,
particularly as that body Is about to be dissolved
aereeably to the provisions Of the late treaty. The
Viceroy, we understand, assures the Commodore
OF the continuance OF The friendly feelings towards
the United States which he had expressed a for
mer OCCASION inquiries what privileges we desire,
and informs him that he has already written 10 the
Emperor upon the subject OF American commerce,
and that on the receipt of instructions, he would
probably be able TO meet him personally. Another
| communication from the Commodore to the Viceroy
| is in the hands OF the translator, TO be tor
/ a lnn. hnr hin
place. the tenor OF which has not yet become public
| 1t is understood that the Commodore, not being
fully authorized as diplomatic agent, and not hav-
ing received the Instructions requisite from his Go
| vernment In such capacity, and having already
proracted his stay until the term OF enlistment OF
large proportion OF the crew Is nearly EXPIRED pro-
poses to sall for the United States 10 few days;
| IL is not impossible that new circumstances may
arise TO modify his movements.
On our arrival, should II not have been done pre-.
viousy, as is certainly 10 be hoped, we trust that
il the facts we believe, the Government will
at once see the expediency OF sending out suita-
BILE diplomatic agent duly appointed and instructed
to negotiate with the highest suhories OF the En-
pire, for such commercial and other privileges as
we believe would now be accorded.
We learn that Captain Belcher, late of the Sulpha
Surveying ship, has been ordered by her Majesty's
Government to make survey OF the japanese
coasts and seas. We know personally Capt. Bel
cher to be daring, and in some respects reckless
mao, and iii by no means improbable that unless
special pains taken TO prevent It, the contempa-
teQ survey may ledo 10 uOstluucs UetWeen nef
jesty's Government and Japan. 1t would be well
| TO, whatever public agents our Government may
think proper TO send out az our successors, to be
properly instructed in view OF any contingency that
may arlse-it might be done in general way, with
out interfering at all with the policy or operations
Of Great Britain.
The ratification of the treaty with China, on the
part of her Malesty's Government, arrived at Hong
Kong on the 10Th umo, and the exchange OF rati-
6catons, which is necessarily postponed for the pre-
sent, in consequence OF the decease OF Eepoo, (le-
pu) will take place on the arrival of Kehying,

told, has without doubt been appointed this 10
