ABSTRACT OF LATE FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS,
rcoSrISUgD

oaar IN have some qualities quite IN common with
an Administration holding its residence by no means
% far off as the Iberian peninsula. Lord Byron
talked Of
"The stern yet feeble Monarch, one or both
ssBy turns"
hu that union of ferceness with feebeness, OF rash
ness with mbecility, of counsels the crookedest
with complete impotence in their execution, is not
entirely confined TO the Court of Madrid. We
need scarcely remind our readers that the Progress
sistas 1.-THE Barnburners of SPAIN are the Narvaez
party so that the subjoined imputation is much as
if the Grange-incendaries aforesaid should charge
The Old Hunkers with getting the Cabinet here to
recall from their commands Generals Taylor and
Scott, and Danish them to Europe, under pretence
Of giving them leave to travel:
some of the Progresssa papers that General
oDonne has been recalled from the Governor GenerashiI
Of Cuba and that the Ministry along with his letter Of recall
him passport allowing him to travel in foreign coun
tries for two years. in other words banshed him for that
period The Ministerial papers admit that Gen. ODonnel
has been recalled but they say that merely because his
three years service have expired and they deny the story
of the banshmen which they say absurdy We have
known many absurdihes committed IN Spain that an add
tional one will not surprise US.
Considering that Governor General O'Donnell
Is AL 1TisHuldIl, nc only lOugIt
with distinction for Spain in one war; and that no
Lieutenant General Trist Pillow has been sent to
supersede or succeed him; and rejecting, moreover,
on the address with which Santa Anna was let in to
prepare for Gen. SCOTS front and then Paroles let
slip by TO fall upon his rear, it is easy that the
Barnburners would have at least good grounds
for their charge as their Castilian yoke-lellows.
And certainly the absurdy of fact is far from
rendering it any less probable-here and under this
reign, as much as in Spain and under the prudent
Queen Isabea's
We have not heretofore been able to place before
our readers a copy Of the following important do
cument; the precise terms of which we have been
anxious 10 see
IrALr.-The following is copy OF the protest of Car
dna Cacch against the taken by the Austrian
mander at Ferrara
"FERnARA, AUGUST 6, ls47-In consequence of an in
cden which happened Captain aukowich Of the regiment

The Emperor of Russia is, we perceive, acting to-
wards Poland just our own Gar has done towards
California, New Mexico, and those other parts of
Inc Mexican Confederacy of which we have gotten
temporary-that is, merely military-possessio
The cases, however, differ materially as 10 the le

is no legislator at all: the Kalmuck Autocrat is
giving, as he has right to give, 10 country LONG

of the rest Of his realm and as for any emil, !,
the original enslavement of Poland, Nichol.s,s
hands are not bloody with that fearful crime. Sc.
cure in hereditary despotsm, he was not tempted
TO the butchery Of any weak neighbour BY the hope
OF thereby winning fresh term Of regal power a,
only the expense of neighbor and Of subject Nj
cholas IN short, is proceeding pretty much as it is
rulers business to proceed, wherever the people
do not make it their business to stop him: so that
perhaps, after all both Nicholas and James do very
well to go on just they are doing.
But the Immediate fact which we meant TO state
is the following:
WARSAW, ArGrsr e.-'rhe new penal code, which i
10 replace the French CODE and which almost literal trans
laon Of that Of Russia will be enforced on the LIST Of Janu

the same laws as Russian subjects" 4
The Poles, however, seem, like the Santa eans
and the blessed spirits Of the Californian CITY Of
Angels, to be shockingy unpratefu. Neither Sar
malta nor American Poland has ever been much in
the habit of submitting TO any natiUe authority ,c
