r i FROM ENGLAND.
New- Fork, AjriV 6-By the arrival of
tha packet ahip Columbiat-CapL Rogers,
in 27 daji from Liverpool, the editors of
iKe Nsw-York Daily Ad vertiserhavs
received London papers to the evening
of the 4th, and Liverpool to the 6th of
aiarcrt, Dotn inclusive.
The affairs of Europe are assuming a
more . serious and interesting aspect
The papers contain Paris dates to the
8th and Madrid to the 2d of Februa
trv. The session of the Extraordinary
Corses was concluded on the 19th of
FeDTtrary, and the last act wjpich they
nassed provided for the removal of the

soon as the dissolution had taken place,
the Ministers waited upon the King for
the pu pose of consulting him abou the
execution ol tne uecree; dui ne snewea
stro 3 repugnance to comply with
ttheit mows, or to make any arrange

' others ensued a crowd gathered round
the palace, who threatened violence tq

uia juDgm consequence oi uie uisuua
sal of the Ministers; After some time,
the Minister of, Finance, who had re
raained with the King, prevailed with
him to reinstate ;tho Ministers, by which
tranquillity was restored. vv
. As the history of these events is de.
toiled Ujhe Spanish articles of toteMi
grace, we think there is every reason
tbeJifTe,that this affair ha originated
t j tatrigue between the French Govern
meat and Ferdinand. That weak prince
was well aware, thatons strong ground
of. interference on t the part of France
was. that the Kina of Spam wus not free,
and therefore his y cousin Bourbon of
France considered it not merely an act
of kindness and good neighborhood, but
of duty o interfere ,ia his behalf--The
justification for, this meditated outrage
upon national independence being placed
upon this footing it, became a matter
not merely elimpbrtance, but of nects-
sity, to establish thfact t,hat thi King of
. pain1vas not free.' Accordingly, the
country being threatened wiih invasion,
the Cortes could do no less than 'pro
vlJe a retreat for the? Royal Household
iniaseithey wcr' threatened iwitlj, the
approaches of a hostile army. , The de
cfee of the "Cortes, for this object furnish
d him witli the opportunity--he seized
'', it, , refused, to aid in its execution,, and
dismissed his ministers. a This, as might
' . ave been and undoubtedly was cxpect
. ed, produced tumults and threats ot vio
lence, and in the end, his Majesty found
himself under the necessity of replacing
the Ministers and this is called an act
. bf force, and the London Courier, which
vef since the dissolution of the Con
' f cress of Verona has cone all lengths with
France and the HoTy Alliance, asks
who will now say that the King of
Spain is free, when it appears' that he
dare not even dismiss his Ministers?
' Threatened and punished as the Span
ish nation now is, and goaded; on to. a
kind of political madness, we ' should
not be surprized to find them -ere long
: engaged in, most sanguinary contest.
I Should the nation be well satisfied that
their Kingj whilst so loud in hisprofes-
. sions of attachment to the constitution,
and ,:thef freedom and independence of
f the other powers to- invade- his domin
ions, and restore the former , despotism
of the "government," we shall Jook for
ward to scenes of violence and blood
shed. . And in our view; France and
her associates will be accountable for
nj thing of this kind that may , ensue.
In the French Chamber W)eputies
on the 26th 6f February the discussion
, on the 'project of ! a law relative to an
, extraordinary credit of .'one hundred

Mr. Broushara. teeing; the Right Hon.
the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in his
place, begged to bejpermitted to put a
question to him. The accounts lately
received in England of a debate in one
of the French Legislative Chambers,
had excited universal attention, in con
sequence of a speech, which it seemed
had been delivered there by a member
of tlie French Ministry. The object
of his present enquiry was to ascertain
the accuracy ol a statement made in
the speech of xh&t . Minister, ' whom it
was unnecessary to name, and whomhe
might be permitted to distrust. The
speech he alluded tor contained two
statements respecting the policy of En
gland; the hist would have it appear
that England had, on one occasion, ap
proved of the principle of aggression
on the part of France; the second, and
that to which he wished particularly to
call the ttention of the Right Hon.
Gentleman, was a passage in a note of
the Duke ot Wellington to the Congress
at Verona, in which ne expressed tne o-
pinion of this Government that the mea
sures ot precaution adopted on tne spa
nish frontier were not ebiectionable
The one was ' innoxions: the other ' was
contrary to the sentiments contained in
his Majesty's speech, and to the feeling
unanimously expressed by both houses,
of Parliament. . He hoped to find, as
he was prepared to believed, that the
more harmless ol these statements, was
that justified by fact. He .wished to
know, whether that statement contain
ed tlie whole truth, . of whether only
parts of the communication had been
picked out by the French Minister, the
sense of which would be ' modified by
tlie accompanying documents? ' vv , ' ; I
. Mr. .Secretary; Canning-The ac-;
count received, of the speech of the
French minister in the Moniteur. 'the oft
ficial paper of France, is correct so far,
as I know. But unquestionably ' the
passages taken from the notes of this
government, had been torn from a very
long note, in which the sense of them
was greatly qualified. That this might
be, gentlemen can easily conceive. For
instance, if it should be declared that
precautionary measures against Spain,
under such and such" circumstances
would be right; but dh the contrary, if
matters were so and so, the case, would
be wholly f different such . statement
would have a very different signification
from that whicji would belong to it if "it
stood alone. v The extracts, contained
in the speech which has been mention -
ed, are correctly given;, oui m uie
course of a long argument,', every ' gen
tleman accustomed to write or to speak
must know, that an admission is some
times made for the purpose of contrast
ing or contradicting it with another. - j
Mr. Brougham remarked, nothing
could be more candid than the conduct
of the Right Hon; Gentieman."The
statement of one, thing standing, alone,
might bear a very different construction
He would put it Jo the Hon.' Gentle

the French government employed them-
selves in making garuieu siateiueuw ui

Mr. jsecretary canning it wouia
be acting disingenuously by the Honor
able and learned , Gentleman, " and the
House, pot to confess that the hopes
heretofore entertained by his Majesty's
Government of preserving peace are
materially diminished but not destroy
ed. ' So long as a hope remains I cer
tainly am ot opinion 1 (I offer it only
as an opinion) that it is inexpedient

MrBrougham said he had no more
to say at this time, put that the state
ment of the right honorable Secretary
was so candid and satisfactory, that he,
for one, should feel his discretion bound
up for the present, and in the keeping
ot the Uigbt Hon. Gentlenr-i . 1 1 .

" Spain- Intelligence of great Impor
tance has been received from Madikl.
The details will be collected from the
following letter:
I'aru.Icb, 8. A courier arrived
hut night from Madrid, which he left on
the 224 inst. bringing papers and letters
to that date. . The termination of the
session , of . the extraordinary Cortes
took place on tlie ' 19th inst. ,- The last
labours of that body were to provide
ior tne transference oi the seat ot uo-
vernment to Cadiz or some other town,
in case the capital were menaced by th
invasion ot a loreign amy. Alter the
dissolution of the extraordinary legisla
ture,; tlie Ministers ..waited upon , the
King, to consult him about tlie execu
tion of the decree. His Majesty show
ed an invincible repugnance to comply
with their wishes, or to authorise any ar
rangements for leaving the capital, ac
cusing them of having acted . contrary
to his commands in making the proposi
tion which had: received tne legislative
sanction. ' After declaring that he would
not comply with the decree, he requir
ed the ministers to surrender their seals
of office. The decree of. restitution
was countersigned by Egea, the Minis
ter of Finance, upon an understanding
witnms colleagues, according to tne ex
nectador. that anvone to whom his Ma
jesty should apply for such a purpose
wouiq.. nrst , sign;, tne, decree, and men
tender his own resignation. '..As soon
as these events became public, great a
gitation took place in the masonic clubs,
among the partisans of the Ministers
and the party, that had supported the
decree of the Cortes, to which his Ma
jesty showed much repugnance ; A;
crowd collected around the palace voci-
lerating menaces against ine person pi
the kingalling out fora Regency, and
testifying, in every way, their .indigna
tion atthe dismissal of Ministers,, and
its cause. The crowd was pot great,
and, appeared to be guiiled by some peri
sons pi higher station, and great intiu
encethey would, probably, -have even
entered and proceeded to the apart
ments of the King had they not been re
strained by; the grenadiers or J militia,
who dispersed them. r
- " That the whole has been the work of
intrigue and 1 corruption, there can be
little doubt. ..The cortes had been dis
solved before it was thought prudent to
make any attempt to disturb the public
tranquillity. It was known or suspect
ed that his Majesty wished to get rid of
tne Ministers and to intrust tneir port-
feuillcs. to ppjanciUors of State j 'Tlie
Cortes tlierefore, passed a decree, that
though a Councillor of State might ac
cept ot a military appointment, he could
not become ad interim Minister. i When,
therefore, the King required the resig
nation ot the seven patriots,' he must
have known that he . would be without a
government, and that he must intrust
tne seaia to tne cniei cieras in omce.
