mebmeollarlo Ann trourobralilo IPoste. LONDON, SEP. 12. THE Paris papers to Monday's date have been received. From their contents it would appear that the wheel of political movement in Spain seems likely, at no very distant day, to come full round" again. A most serious and extensive manifestation of popular resentment at the arbitrary proceedings of the Lopez Ministry, has already taken place in Seville, in Cadiz, and at Barcelona The insolent beariug of the treacherous Narvaez, since his successful intrigue against Espartero, has filled all Madrid with disaffection and disgust and the troops in Tarragona, have, pro- bably. by this lime, followed the example of those in Barcelona, bv turning against the new Government of Madrid the same artillery of defecton whicl, so recently annihiliated the power of Espartero on the plains of Torrijon. The regiments of the line refuse to act ajjainst the National Volunteers. They receive them with reversed muskets, instead of firing upon them with the cheers of a fraternizing welcome, instead nf discharges from field-pieces loaded with grape, or destructive vollies from small arms. At Barcelona, the General acting for the Cap'ain-General has apprized the British Consul that he has been compelled to imitate the course adopted by his predecessor, General Arbuthnot, namely, to abandon the Palace of his Go- vernment and take refuge in tl|e citadel. Prim, the creature of Narvaez, has been forced to follow to the same stronghold by his own battalion of Reus, which mainly worked out the first act of the ex-Regent's downfal, and is now execrated, denounced, and pro- scribed by those whom lie so lately commanded. IT Serrano, who was proposed for "Universal Minister" a little time since, in the heat of the violent outbreaks against the Regency, is now anathematized as the most "execrabte of traitors," as "a perjured villain" and the "infamons assassin of the immortal Torrijos!" Vast numbers of the citizens who decline taking part in the coming conlest, were leaving- Barcelona with all their goods and moveables, in the direction of the city nates, leading to Garcia, Mataro, and other towns. We are not disposed to augur, from ihis passing con- trast of the venial deficiencies of Espartero's Govern- ment, with the despotic and barefaced excesses of that administered by Lopez and Narvaez, any immediate or powerful tendencies of popular opinion towards a reaction in favour of the Regent Yet it cannot be denied that the whole course of passing events in Spain is just that which the Regent himself might desire to witness, if he be really anxious, in good time, to bridge himself back again to the slippery heights of that dan- gerous power, between which and his own person he has so recently placed a large expause of the Atlantic ocean. We cannot vvithold a sigh for the miseries and devastation which, too probably, arc again about to be visited on the peaceable inhabitants of some of the most important and flourishing cities of Spain, ere the game of unprincipled ambition and factious treachery shall be played out, among the reckless adventurers into whose hands she has fallen.—The private accounts from Barcelona, of the 5th inst., state that Prim and his force withdrew on the 4tb to some distance from the city, which enabled the Nationals of Sabadal to enter the place. Echalecu, Summoned by Prim to fire upon the positions occupied by the insurgents had refused obedience to his orders. Mataro, Vinaroz, and other districts had declared for the Junta. That assembly had decreed the penalty of death against all individuals guilty of robbery or attempts against the personal security of the citizens.—The letters from Madrid, of the 4th inst., describe Seville as in a state of consider- able agitation. A large party there had hoisted the banner of the Central Junta. They were kept con- stantly under arms. Madrid was tranquil.-The do- mestic news in the Paris papers is oflitile interests. By the arrival of the packet ship Liverpool, Captain Eldridge, we have been put into possession of New York papers to the 16th ult. inclusive, the day of her sailing. They are. however, only one day later than those received by the Acadia. The Provincial Parlia- ment of Canada was to assemble this month The Great Western steamer having been twelve days out, as she left New York on the 31st alt., and the Hibernia nine days on the voyasre from Halifax, which port she would leave on the 3d inst., we arc in hourly expectation of much later intelligence. The accounts by the latter will be sixteen days more recent. A letter, dared Gibraltar, August 28th, posted on Saturday at the North and South American Coffee House, states that accounts had been received there that the splendid American steam frigate of war Mis- souri, unfortunately caught fire on the 26th ult., and was bnrnt down to the water's edge. She bad on board the new Ambassador sent from the United States to the Emperor of China, who with crew was saved through the active exertions of her Majesty's ship Locust. 50,000 dollars on board were saved, but nothing else. The fire was occasioned by the com- bustion of coals on board. DEPARTURE OF HER MAJF.STY FOR OSTEND.- Yes- terday three vessels of war—the Warspite, a twenty- eight gun-ship, and the Grecian brig, hove in sight, and the inhabitants concluded, from the arrival of these vessels, as well as from the preparations made on board the Royal yacht and the Government steamers, that her Majesty would leave next day for Ostend, and they were not mistaken. At all early hour all the steamers were ready, the steam up, and the men in their best dresses prepared to man the yards. About half-past eight her Majesty left the Pavilion, accom- panied by Prince Albert, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Liverpool, and her usual suite; and at a quarter to nine a general salute from the battery, the ships of war, and the steamers, announced that her Majesty bad left the pier, and embarked on board her favourite yacht, the Victoria and Albert. Crowds had collected along the shore, the vards of all the ships were manned. The morning was fine, and the display altogether was very effective. In a few minutes the vessels were all under weigh, and in a little more than half an hour, owing to a haze on the sea, the Royal yacht and all the steamers were out of sight. They were steering towards the Downs, where the Royal squadron would join the ships of the line, and remain during the night. Her Majesty leaves the Downs to- morrow morning with the tide for Ostend, where she will be received by the King and Queen of the Bel- gians and the Princess Clementina. During her pro- gress to the Downs the Royal yacht was to visit all the bays along the coast, in order to enable her Majesty to survey the beauties of the coast. The Gazette of this evening states, that her Majesty has been pleased to permit the 22d (or Cheshire) Regi- ment of Foot to bear upon its regimental, or second colour, and also upon its appointments, the word Sinde," in commemoration of the distinguished gal- lantry displayed by the Regiment in the campaign against the Ameers of Sinde, in the early part of the present year, 1843. The Naval and Jlilitary Gazette says-" We have reason to believe that the promotions consequent on her Majesty's maritime trip will be on a very limited scale because, as these trips will, we hope and trust, be henceforth repeated annually, it is obvious that a recurrence of extensive naval promotions would not only create a jealousy in the sister service, but raise an outcry on the score ef expense. As much as can be done, compatibly, will no doubt be effected by Lord Haddingtotv Having several inquiries on this. subject, we think it right to warn officers and their friends from forming expectations which might reasonably be in- dulged, if the occasion of the Sovereign's visit to her fleet were to be considered as a rare and special, instead of a periodical occurrence." Amongst the subscriptions for the Nelson dinner to the Greenwich Pensioners is a tender of any sum under 50/. by Admiral Sir Philip Durham, the oldest Officer alive who wall present at the glorious battle of Trafalgar. Mr. P H. Muntzbas resigned the commission of the peace for the borough of Birmingham, in consequence of a misunderstanding between himself and the Secre- tary of State for the Home Department. The person calling himself the Duke of Normandy is now an inmate of Horsemonger-lane gaol, and intends to apply to the Insolvent Court for relief. He places his debts at 5,000/ and on the credit side, after putting down large estates of immense value in France, inherited in virtue of his mother, Marie Antoinette," there is the item, 41 All my right and interest to the throne of France as the lawful son and heir of Louis XVI, late King of France."
