I do not ask him to do this; possibly they may be very unjust, and possibly, though censuring the Clergy and comrnunicimts for not having “openly and strongly protested against the unsatis- factory aud irregular manner in which the funds are said to have been invested,” he would hardly like, on reflection, without some more convincing evidence, liimselfto lead the way, since much “is said” which cannot afterwards he prov- ed.

E U R 0 P E A N . From Papers by the Acadia. SPAIN.

The Madridjournals ofthe 30th Aug. are chiefly occupied with the rtiutiriv ofthe l’riiiceza Regiu‘tent, and the horrible details ofthe execution of several of its-iioii-comriiissioticd officers.

the promises which iiidiii-cd tlieiir todt-sert il‘Olll Espartci‘o’s standard to that ofthe insurrection. The precautions adopt-

ed ou the occasion ol'tliesc executions to prevent a rising of

the troops, proved iii what abject fear the new government lives ofits own instruments. The iriutiny in the Princcza Regiment extended to 500 of the soldiers. A deep feeling ofindignation appears to have been created in Madrid by the late executions in that city, the effects of which will, no doubt, develope themselves ere long.

A serious and extensive manifestation ofpopular resent- ment at the arbitrary proceedings ofthe Lopez Ministry has already taken place in Seville, in Cadiz, and at Barcelona. The insolent bearing of Narvaez has filled Madrid with dis- affection and disgust; and the troops in 'I‘arragona have, pro- bably, followed the example ofthose in Barcelona, by turn- ing against the new Government of Madrid the same artillery ofdefection which so recently annihilated the power of Es- partero on the plains of 'I‘orrijo. The regiiireirts ofthe line refuse to act against the National Volunteers. They receive

them with reversed iriiiskets, instead offiriiig upon tliem.’

At Barcelona, the General acting for the Captain-General has apprised the British Consul that he has been corttpelled to imitate the course adopted by his predecessor, General Ai‘butlmot, namely, to abandon the Palace of his Government and take refuge in the citadel. Prim, the creature oanr- vaez, has been forced to follow him to the same stronghold by his own battalion of Reus, which mainly worked out the first act ofthe ex-Regent’s downfal, and is now denounced and prescribed by those whom he so lately corr'irrianded. Serrano, who was proposed for “ Universal Minister,” a little

time since, in the heat ofthe violent outbreaks against thel Regency, is now :inatlicitiatizeil as the most “ exeei‘able of

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1843.

\Ve are without any mail this Week, the St. George not having arrived li'om Mirnriiiclii until a late hotir on III'UI‘S— day evenintr. Her detention there was ownig to head Winds and boisterous weather. On her passage from hence to Mirainichi, she took on board, on Sunday morning last, the crew ofthe brig .Malvina, of St. John’s F. laden With her- rings, which lriid been stranded on Miramichi bar. The St.“ George left this for Pictou yesterday morning at 9 o’clock, and may be expected to return in the course of the day with the mails.

Front the Pictou Observer of Thursday last, received by the steamboat ALBION, which arrived here last evening.r from Pit-ton, we learn that the first Session of the Parliament ofCanada since the assumption ofthe gowrnmeut by Sir Charles Mett-alfe was opened at Kingston on the 28th Sep- tember. .Want Oflitiiu prevents us giving the Governor-Ge- riei'al’s speech in our present number.

Some H'lISCOIICGPIIOII appears to prevail as to the intent of a Bill which was introduced into the House ofAsseitlibly last Session, arid which our contemporary, the Palladium, seems to think was merely for the prevention of incéntharisni throughout the Island. Now, it so happens that there isno mention whatever of incendiarisiii iii the Bill. That is a crime which may be, and usually is, perpetrated in secret; whereas the object ofthe bill was, as its tttle imports, “to “provide a remedy against Electoral Districts, for damage “ done to property within them, by riotous assemblws; a'nd “ for defrayirig expenses incurred from impeding the scrvrce “oflegal process,” that is, as set forth in the bill, when “ the “service or execution of process of the law is prevented, by “the resistance or menaccs of persons unlawfully assem- “bled, and acting in concert for that purpose.” The bill was ordered to be priirted, and to stand over for1ftirther con- sideration. _

The principle on which tlte Bill is founded is conforma- ble to the law ofEngland, so far as it relates to damage done to property by means of riotous assemblages; for.it'is well known that in England the Hundred or District wrtlirn which any property is injured or destroyedby arty tumultu- ous asSetttlilage ofthe people, is compelled to iriakeutriple reparation to the parties injured, which is not only just in principle, but founded on sound policy, as it makes it the interest of every person of property within the district to exert himself to the utmost to suppress the riot, knowrng that he must be a sufferer should any damage to property ensue. How far, however, such a regulation would be ap- plicable to the condition of this Island, is another considera- tion. Even ifthe principle ofcompeiisatiou were admitted, would it be fair that the inhabitants of a whole Electoral

,dariinified by the ofibnce 1”

district should‘be compelled to make good the damage’done in any part of it? Were a riot, for instance, to take place

i on the St. Peter’s Road, where it passes through Lot Thirty- )four, and any destruction of property to ensue, how would itbe people of New London stare, when told that they were

last mail, gives a lively and interesting, but deplorable pic- j m Tmcadie, or n: [he Managua" settlement, on the South

titre, ofthe condition of Barcelona; its incessant and impe- 3 side ofthe flinsbomugh’ whv

tlioiis agitation; drums beating and trumpets sounding,Ir arms by night and by day; the women and children, even, invoking the male inhabitants to take up arms against the new Government. The Nationals, or Volunteers, and the

townspeople, had, brought up nird posted artillery for tlieg

defence ofthe position they had taken, iii the strongest and loftiest portion of Barcelona, the Plaza San 'Jayri'ie;—every

avenue to which their guns were so disposed as rotrrpletely i instant means can be adopted for its suppression,

to sweep. The strong ancient houses in all that iri'iitteditttc neighbourhood had been, in like manner, burricadoeil and fortified by their inhabitants, aiid every preparation tirade, and every means provided, “to hurl down from them, on the heads of an advancing enemy, death and destruction.” The spirit of discontent and insurrection which has thus been awakened, is kept up and excited by innumerable procla- mations and addresses incessantly poured forth by the presses ofthe town, all couched in language ofthe boldest and most sanguintu'y menace against Narvaez, Lopez, and the new Ministry. Orr the other hand, the placards promulgated by the political chief, the alcaide, and other military and citil authorities on their behalf, are torn down and trampled nntkr foot as soon as they have been put upon the walls, in the most open and contumelious manner. Vast numbers of the citizens who decline taking part in the coming contest, were leaving Barcelona with all their goods and inoveables,.iit the direction of the city gates leading to Garcia, Mataro, and other towns. Separate meetings and banquets ofthe “ Pro- gresistas” and the Republicans had been held, at which the chiefs of these parties openly avowed their opinions, their wishes, and their intentions. The latter came to a resolu- tion that it was necessary to declare Catalonia a republic, and to separate her from the rest of Spain.

Telegraphic dcspatclies have since announced the com- menceinent, in good earnest, of a counter- revolutionary movement at Barcelona. On the 2d Sept. the free colps proclaimed the ceiitraljunta; Riera being named as their

commander, and a member of the junta assuming the direc-

tion ofthe movement. At seven in the evening ofthe 3d.

DECLINE or TEMPERANCEc—It is somewhat curious that
