Liverpool POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN NOVEMBER. GREAT BRITAIN. TO event of political consequence has characterized the month at home, unless we consider as such the neutral and pacific character which our agent at Verona has happily preserved in the Congress. If this wise and necessary change in our councils did not precipitate the death of Castlereagh, it may perhaps be regarded as a consequence; and hence the change of Castlereagh for Canning has proved auspicious to the welfare of Britain, and the happiness of the world. Considerable fluctuations have taken place in the funds during the month, arising from reports from Verona; and many active jobbers have been ruined. No change for the better has however taken place through the country, which, drained of circulation, and the means of local purchase, by taxes, rents, and assessments, for non-resident receivers, exhibits a degree of domestic distress, which, we are assured, ex ceeds conception. We call the attention of our readers to the first paper of this Number, which illustrates the proximate causes of this distress, by tracing the actual operation of the machinery of our social system. In the administration of the law during the month, the public have been surprised at the sentence passed on one Bridle, late keeper of Hlchester Goal; the charges against whom had led to the appointment of a commission, on whose report he was first dismissed, and then prosecuted by the Attorney-General. He was convicted of a very aggravated misdemeanor, in confining a prisoner in a damp cell, putting him in a strait-waistcoat, and applying a blister to his head by way of punishment! The exposure of such enormities, committed by whomsoever they might, and the difficulties of bringing this class of offenders to justice, seemed to imply the necessity of an exemplary judgment; but, in consideration sideration of certain affidavits to general character of magistrates and others, and of the man's having lost his place, he was sentenced simply to pay a fine of fifty pounds. FRANCE. The King of France has, by a Royal Ordonnance, suppressed the Faculty of Medicine in Paris, on account, it is stated, "of the shameful disorder which took place in the Sitting on the 18th of November." We learn from private letters (for the journals are almost wholly silent on the subject,) the following account of this disturb. ance:-The Abbe Nicole, who is rector of the Academy, had no sooner appeared to address the young men, than the cry of "A bas les Jesuites!" and other offensive expressions, were attered. The Abbé could not be heard, and M. Desgenettes, who tried for an hour to get a hearing, could not succeed. After this tumultuous conduct had continued for some time, an end was put to the Sitting; and the rector, on going out, was saluted with still stronger testimonies of disapprobation. By the decree for suppressing the Faculty of Medicine, five-and-twenty of the first physicians and surgeons of Paris, who were professors of the different branches of medicine, have been deprived of their places, and four thousand students of the means of instruction. The course of lectures which had commenced was stopped, the doors of the School of Medicine were closed, and the young men were apprised, by a handbill, that they could no longer pursue their studies at Paris. How serious a limitation this Ordonnance has been of the means of study, may be gathered from the fact, that there existed only three Faculties of Medicine in France, those of Strasburg, Montpelier, and Paris. In order to obtain the degree of Doctor, or the diploma of Surgeon, it was necessary to study at the schools of one or other of these places. The number of students was of course greatest, and the professors the most eminent, in the capital. The young men, assembled here from all parts of France, and even of Europe, by the eminence of the professors, and the convenience of hospitals, &c. amounted this year to about 4000. SPAIN. The Spanish government has transmitted to all the provinces the most rigid orders for the prompt execution of the resolutions adopted by the Cortes, which have granted considerable funds for fortifications, manufacturing arms, and for preparing a formidable war-materiel. The Spanish provinces will soon present the spectacle of a vast arsenal, as France did when she was attacked by foreign powers. This great movement has, besides, the advantage of giving employment and support to the poor,the only class from which fanaticism recruits her instruments. In the Sitting of the 14th, the Cortes authorised the Provincial Deputations to make requisitions for remounts of horses for the cavalry and artillery, in. order to accelerate an important operation, which has already been successfully executed in the 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th, Military Divisions. The regiments of Saguntum, the Queen's, and some others, have been in this way completely remounted in the course of a few days. The Provincial Deputations are to make advances for the payment of the just value of the horses to the owners; and the government is, without delay, to reimburse the Deputations from the funds specially granted by the Cortes. It is announced as certain, that the government is about to confer on Mina the title of Commander-in-Chief of the three army corps of Catalonia, Navarre, and Arragon. Generals Torrijos and Velasco will serve under him as Lieutenant-generals. The first army will be increased to 40,000 men, and the other two to 10,000. All these forces are to be united by the 1st of December in the line of operations. The other Spanish forces, with which are incorporating with great activity the new levies, are about to be rendered movable, and placed on the war footing, to form garrisons, and to be ready to take the field, and to join the army of reserve, which will be promptly assembled in the case of foreign menace. In all towns of the kingdom private companies of Constitutional Patriots are organizing, in imitation of the corps formed at Madrid, in conse, quence of the events of July last. Moreover, the embodying of the volunteer militia is every where carrying into into effect with incredible activity. In the towns of Malaga, Alicant, and several others through which General Riego passed in his late journey, artillery companies are besides forming. In imitation of the Greeks, the Spaniards are endeavouring to nationalize their theatres, with the view of aiding the popular enthusiasm. By a Royal Decree, theatres are everywhere established. The publication of dramatic works, founded on national history, is encouraged; and nothing is neglected to associate the progress of the fine arts with the progress of liberty. General Mina has published a proclamation, in which, for the last time, he offers an amnesty to those men whom ambitious chiefs have seduced into rebellion. He grants them to the 20th of November, and it is not till then that he is resolved to give the last blow. The General hopes before that period to recall a great part of these misled men to their duty. He does not forget that the rebels are Spaniards; but he declares that he will be inexorable to those who will not profit by the amnesty. In the Sitting of the Cortes on the 13th of November, Signor Canga made a motion to prevent the circulation of a Papal Bull, which condemns several works published by Constitutional writers; and the motion was adopted by a large majority. PORTUGAL. The speech of the King of Portugal, on closing the sittings of the Cortes on the 4th inst. is highly satisfactory, and proves him to have far more sense than those sovereigns who oppose themselves to the lights of the age.-"The glory of kings," says his majesty, "is inseparable from the happiness of their subjects; and he who presides over a free nation, is as happy as those are miserable who rule over slaves." The sitting having been opened at a quarter past eleven o'clock on the morning of Nov. 4, and the deputation prepared to receive the king in the usual form, his majesty entered the hall at half past eleven, preceded by the deputation, accompanied by the ministers, secretaries-of-state, and the chief officers of his household; and, having seated himself on the throne, he delivered the following speech: 1 "GENTLEMEN-At the moment when you are going to close your labours in this Legislature, I come to congratulate myself, with you and the nation, on the wisdom of the legislative measures which you have adopted for the reformation of the social edifice. My attention is naturally fixed on the political constitution, a fundamental law of the state, which I'swore to voluntarily and deliberately, and which receives this day the sacred promise of all the citi zens. Yes, gentlemen, they must feel a virtuous pride in beholding the rights of man, as a member of society, established on principles as solid and durable as eternal morality: the throne, built upon the law and the prosperity of social institu tions, supported by the sublime power of the divine religion which we profess; the safety of individuals and property combined with the interest and security of the state; the agreement, the harmony between the rights of the citizen and lus duties; the civil liberty of the individual, and the well-being of society, guaranteed by the responsibility of the public fanc tionaries, and by the just fiberty of the press. Ah! gentlemen, what a sum of happy results do the conditions of our social compact promise! "Faithful representatives of the nation, you embraced the whole extent of the meditation prepared the work of the ConWhile research and wants of the people. stitutional Code, your care provided a remedy for the evils that most urgently re quired it. Thas the administration of jus tice and finance, the restoration of publie credit, commerce, navigation, agriculture, manufactures, public instruction, and philanthropy, received the impulse of wisdom and patriotic zeal, which characterizes and distinguishes the regenerators of a nation justice and order with which the plan of in an enlightened age. To the spirit of the political regeneration of the monarchy was conceived, we owe the relations of friendship and interest which happily subsist with foreign powers, and very partien larly with the constitutional and represen tative governments of both worlds; and. I have particular satisfaction in being able to announce to you, that the most positive declarations of the governments of France and England have fully secured us against the fears of any attack upon our independence. "To this same wisdom, and to the mea sures of conciliation with which you have endeavoured to maintain the integrity of the United Kingdom, and to strengthen the fraternal ties which bind us to the Portu guese of Brazil, the dissenting provinces will owe, I hope, the return of their tran quillity, and of the blessings which they cannot expect but from their union with the Portuguese of Europe. This subject. gentlemen, awakens recollections which I would not deeply afflict my heart. touch on it were it not so intimately con 2 nected nected with the march of your labours, and with the right it gives you to the national acknowledgment, and to my particular gratitude. The glory of kings is inseparable from the happiness of their subjects, and he who presides over a free nation is as happy as those are miserable who rule over slaves. This is the measure of the satisfaction which your illustrious and useful labours give me. They open a boundless career of prosperity and glory to the noble Portuguese nation, whose fate is essentially united with mine, "You are going, gentlemen, to receive from your constituents the congratulations and benedictions to which your services entitle them. Carry to them, at the same time, the certainty that my care and solicitude continues to be devoted to the welfare of the nation; assure them of the sin cerity of my intentions, and the consistency of my proceedings, of which you have been eye-witnesses; and, if it should be necessary, inspire them with true love of their country, which binds them to sacrifice every thing for it, and teach them, that sincere adherence to the constitutional system essentially consists in obedience to the law, and in love of order and justice, without which the best institutions cannot prosper. In this manner, continuing to in struct and to edify, you will enjoy, in the public gratitude, the just reward of your glorious labours; and the generous nation to which you have consecrated them, by following the course which you have traced out for it, will become, by the perfections of its social institutions, the model and the envy of other people." The king, rising, said-"Long live the sovereign congress!" At fifty minutes past eleven the king withdrew in the same manner as he entered; and, the deputation that acFelqueiras, the secretary, stated, in the companied him having returned, Mr. name of the deputation, that his majesty, on taking leave, had desired that they would assure the congress of the constituent Cortes of his particular thanks for all the delicate attentions which they had shown him, and that he would at all times be the firm defender of the social compact which the Cortes had decreed, and in co-operating with all his power in the prospe rity of the Portuguese nation. At five minutes past twelve the president closed the sessions, saying:"The general extraordinary and constituent Cortes of the Portuguese nation close their session this day, the 4th of November, 1822." GREECE. The Provisional Government of Greece has acceded to the proposal of an armistice, made by Chourschid Pacha; but on condition that he should evacuate Thessaly, and that those fortresses in the Morea which have still Turkish garrisons, as well as Arta and Prevesa, shall be immediately given up to the Greeks; when this is done, the Greek government consents to a' suspension of hostilities for six months. His majesty having concluded his speech, the president rose to reply, in the name of the assembly; and, in along and eloquent discourse, developed the hopes which the nation might justly conceive for a constitution so fortunately established, without any of those internal convulsions which have afflicted other states, and with the most perfect concurrence of all classes. He touched on the affairs of Brazil, which he still hoped might be finally arranged to the satisfaction and interest of all parties. His excellency dwelt on the gratitude due to his majesty for his sincere and steady co-operation in their labours; observing, that they would gladly have proclaimed him the father of the country, had not that noble title been prostituted by flattery, and conferred, to the horror of huma-affirms that many of the Turkish inlianear Candia, confirms this news, and nity, even on the tyrants of Rome. bitants refused to leave Canea, and He concluded with Long live King declared they would embrace the John VI. the house of Braganza, the Catholic and Apostolic religion, and Christian religion. the Portuguese nation!" MONTHLY MAG. No. 375. SO Chourschid has sent a Tartar to Constantinople to inform the Porte of the state of things: the Pacha has thought it prudent to retreat with the remains of his army towards Macedonia. The defection of the Albanians, who were with the Turkish troops, and have now joined the Greeks, has given the last blow to Chourschid, who has no means to rePorte sends him another army, sume offensive operations, unless the Canea, the capital of Candia, has capitulated to the Greeks; and when the last vessel sailed (25th of October), a French frigate, with part of the garrison, was entering the port of Smyrna.
