tbe Slilh "f February, the discussion on the
project of a law relative to an extraordinary
credit ef one hundred millions, was resumed.
The debate which ensued was turbulent in

of uproar throughout the day. This was
occasioned by the speech of M. Manuel,
w'in contended that the war was urjust, anil
d -approved of by the nation. The iniuis-
rid members waxed warmer and warmer
i M. Manuel proceeded to dev elope, the
policy which had been pursued by Fiance

The minister interrupted |tim at every

A voice on ,the right—This is dreadful ;
we cannot endure such flippant language.
M. Manuel.—So legitimate ! You amici .
paled mv intention. It was the intervention
of foreigners in the Revolution, that led to
the fate uf Louis XVI.
M. Lctuaisons—You are justifying regi
cide !
M. Forbin d’Issarts—It is the language of
the convention.
M. Manuel—IVhat caused the fate nf the
Stuarts? It was the protection uf France
which placed them in opposition with public
onimuii, and prevented their looking to tile
English nation for supnrt. Must l say that
the moment in which the dangers of the Hoy
cl Family of France hud become Hie most se-
ri. a as, i cits after France, revel at ionary Fi a ace,
felt ill it it was necessary to defend herself by
new strength, and by an energy wholly new!
Scarcely had this inconceivable sentence
been littered Ulan a general movement of in
dignation was manifested by the entire light
:,ide, and the spectators in the. tribune, liv
en sume members nf the left evinced their
disapprobation. The members of the right
simultaneously rose and demanded that M.
Manuel should be called to order.
RJ. tlld .President.—It is impossible to to-
I'irate such language, lie has said in allusion
t'i an event which all France deplores, that
the nation was bound to act with redoubled
uergy.
M. liem ircay—M. Foy and Mi Girardin,
(successively)—“ He did not say- so.”
M. Forbin d'L.- u ts—You do well to deny
—you blush to av«w.
M. Hyde de Nenville—It was clearly a
tsitence of horrible import.
hi Furbio d’Issarts—It was a wish for
He death of Feidinaud.
The members of the right side quitted
thir places, declaring that they would not
aain sit in a Chamber where sueii a man
cold speak his sentiments, and be the apy-
igist of regicide.
M. llyde de Nenville rushed to IheT.i-

saent called upon him to resume his seat, as

11. Hyde de Neuville declared, that uu-
ib- such eircumstanee the observance of
forms was an absurdity.
lJuring this contention, M. Manuel stood
with crushed arms, signifleantty surveying
the right side.
M. Croy de Snlire—“ His unseemly pos-
b't'e adds to the horror of his language.”
M. Manuel was assailed with indignant
reproaches from the members on the right ;
“nine of the Members oil the left reeriinina-
' il, and the Chamber was a scene of un
exampled uproar. The President’s efforts
to restore order were ineffectual ; he put on

At four o’clock the silting was resumed.

DINNER TO MU. CLAY.
On Satureley last, a number nf the citizens
uf Philadelphia invited HENRY CLAY,
now on a visit to this city, to a dinner, at the
Western Hotel. Between eighty and ninety
gentlemen partook of the entertainment,
which was served up at four o’clock in the
afternoon, and was, in every respect, wor
thy of Ihe occasion. Among the guests,
were bis Excellency the Minister from Mex
ico, and his Secretary of Legation, his Ex
cellency the Minister from Brazil, and the
Honorable Thomas J. Roughs, one of the
Representatives of this State in Congress.—
Mathkw Caret, Esquire, Presided', assist
ed by the Honorable Joseph Hemphill
and Samuel Mifi-li.n, Esq. ;w Vice Presi

prevailed ; and the following toasts were
drank, interspersed with songs :
1. The President of the United States.
2. Tlio Union—Perpetuity to it.

12. Our Distinguished Guest, Hemet
Clay. [Twelve cheers.]
Mr. CLAY rose to return thanks to the
meeting. He should feel, he said, that he
was perfectly inexcusable to the stale of
which he was an humble and unworthy
citizen, if he did not, even at the hazard of
trespassing on their own precious usages,
publicly make his most respectful uckncHV
lodgments Ibr the distinguished notice M hick
they had taken of it, in one pf the toasts re'
cently drank, and in Iih own person. A
for himself, if he were made of stone, la
could not he insensible to the very flattering
circumstances in wlu< h lie found himself;
to the unexpected and unmerited but nigh-
!y distinguished honor which they hud ta i y
pleased to confer upon him. For the A) alt,
he could offer only his sincercst thanks, and'
the assurance of a lasting and grateful recoil
lection. Whilst I am up, continued Mr!
Clay, with your permission, ! will take the
liberty of proposing a sentiment, on which I
am quite aura all American hearts will be
cordially united. It u ill be an allusion to
a subject on which you have just expressed
the most lively and enthusiastic interest. 1
might, indeed, without going beyond the
Atlantic, derive a lit topic, to present to*
your consideration, from the established and
notorious patriotism of the statu of Pennsyl
vania ; from this city, its well known sci
ence, its flourishing literary institutions, its
munifleent patmnagu of the arts, its rich
commerce, its rising and interesting manu
factures. But, in the selection of that which
I mean to submit to you, I feel perfectly
persuaded that I shall find a full justification
in your magnanimous sympathies and your
generous philanthropy' More than ten
years past have the people of the United
States felt and manifested the deepest inter
est in the. success of the struggh s of Spanish
America, throughout all its fortunes and
vicissitudes. These honorable feelings wt re-
excited by their abhorrence of a foreign do
mination, by their love of liberty, and by
their high and just estimate of the inestima
ble priv ilege of self-government.
The encouraging progress of that great
cause is such as tu lead irresistibly to the
speedy consummation of the independence
of all of the Spanish provinces. It is a most
remarkable dispensation o' Providence, that
Spain herself is now called upon to .main
tain, on her own fair fields, the very princi
ples which she combatted on the crimsoned
plains of Venezuela ; and to sustain, in her
owu behalf, against a presumptuous foreign
dictation, tliut right of self-government
which she would have denied to her provin
ces. The same principles which interested
our wishes and hopes, on the side of the co
lonies, must now urge us to cherish a solici
tude fur the success of the parent country.
And how has the Spanish government bro’t
dow n upon the devoted Peninsula the venge
ance of France ? lias it menaced France
with invasion ? Has it sought to propagate
in the bosom of France free principles, to
disturb there the quiet rule of the Bourbons?
Has it set up new and alarming principles
in the international law? Has it aimed to
aggrandize Spain at the expense if her
neighbours ? No! No! No I What then
is the offence of Spain? Her institutions
wanted reformation ; a shocking mass of a
buses had been accumulated, during tin-
lapse of ages ; she was swimming in corrup
tion. Sensible of Ihe disadvantages of her
polit ical condition, she has sought to correct
them ; to purify her government, and to ad
apt it to the great object of social happi
ness. ller revolution lias been characterised
by no excesses, sullied by no atrocities,
stained by no blood except that which has
been shed at the instigation, or with the
countenance of foreign powers. She has
moved on slow, and measured and digni
fied, with a mildness like that of the bright
sun of her delightful climate. And France
comes tu chuck iier in her noble and patri
otic career. Ami tor what purposes, and
with what principles ? She breaks the un-
Ihreatened peace, that she may have peace !
She appeals to arms, that she may not have
war ! She would restore the absolute sway
of the monarch, and, I suppose, all the bles
sings of the inquisition !
The Bourbons of France, the modern
Stuarts, enter Spain, sword in hand, with
the principles of the divine 'ight of kings,
and of the non-resistance and passive obe-
djencu of the people, as their motto ; prin
ciples which our British ancestors, a century
ami a half ago, successfully combatted, anil
which lost to one of the Stuarts his head,
and to the w hole race the three kingdoms.
With what little benefit does history hold up
to these Bourbons its instructive examples ?
One pleasing effect upon the people of this
country, with regard to this war, will he,
that unlike the late wars of Europe, it will
create no divisions of opinion among us. In
spite of all our partiality to France | in spite
of all the grateful recollections with which
her inline is associated ; in spite of our sin
cere desire to maintain with her especially
the most amicable relation**, there will be
here but one felling and one hope as to the
issue of this wanton and unprovoked con
test. We shall, in regard to it, be n all fed
eralists, all republicans all Spanish ; mine,
no not one, French. We may be disap
pointed in our ardent wishes. Spain, turn
by her unhappy disseiilions, may lie over
whelmed. Tim scene at Naples may be re-
exbibited in the Peninsula.—Ami I confess,
when 1 contemplate Die appalling power
which i-> about tu tie exerted to subdue her,
that I tremble for tlio event.
We may be, destined to behold the afflict
ing spectacle ol the extinction of tiie light of
liberty in the land of Homer and Leonidas,
and in the adopted country of Columbus ;
and all Europe uiay be encircled in the thick
and dark mantle of inexorable despotism.
Whatever may be the issue, we shall, at
least, have the consolation uf cherishing our
own principles, and of giving all that is con
sistent with oor posture, and our institutions
to communicate, oor fervent prayers and
our best wishes fur cvi ,y people wherever
situated, whether in the old or new world,
who are struggling to establish and prcser.u
their liberties. And, in all the changes of
human affairs, let us clingy with a closer and
fonder embrace, to our own excellent go
vernments, and be thankful to the kindness
of Providence, for having removed us far
from Dm power and influence of a confed
eracy id' kings, united to fasten forever the
chains of the people, and for having given
us the blessing of a confederacy of free
states, united to secure the liberty and to
promote the welfare and happiness of mil
lions of freemen. But I have already de
tained you too long from the sentiment
which 1 would propose, and w hich, though
already drank, will bear repeating again and
again. It is:
“ Success to the cause oftlie country tin
der whose auspices the New World was
discovered.”
This address was received, and the toast
drank, with the most fervid expression of
deep feeling for the glorious cause of Spain,
so interesting to the whole human race.

; THE GALE.
r Trenton, (Ni vv-Jnrsev,) March 31,
l esteioJay, thuMuth, we experienced one
d the severest storms of rain, hail, and
snow, within our recollection. Tiii-
>viml Mew fresh from the south early tu
the Dionnug, and soon alter sunrise
brought with it gusts ol rain ; but haul
ing |u the eastward, Ihe gale was attend
ed with sleet, snow and hail—and gradu
ally veering tu the nurilt, increased in
,pd)Ver and violence, till it blew a tie
inendou* gale, pros rating trees itml fen-
ens most exposed tu its I'oice. From ten
lo one o’clock the gale was at iti height,
ami blew with uncommon violence—li
continued however thioughuut the day
n most violent tempest—and with a stea
diness and foicu seldom witnessed in this
part of the country.
During the height of the storm, about
1 o clock, tlie Steam Boat stages from
New-Brunswiclt, came on with the pas
sengers for Philadelphia. A most me
lancholy disaster held one ol them, pas
sing through Bloomsbury, just below this
pluce. \\ bile the driver checked his
horses in turning out to avoid a fallen
tree in the road, a large Lombardy Pop
lar was precipitated upon the stage con
taining seven passengers, and crushed it
to the ground. One of the |iassengers
was instantly killed, & three others bad
ly wounded. 1 he deceased, we are in-
lormwl was n Circus Rider, by the name
of Burslcin, from New-York, on Ins way
to I’hiladelphia ; the two others must
severely injured, M'Cletland and Clark.
(Jnc of whom, with the corpse of the de-
crascd, lies at a neighboring house,
where they were taken in as soou as
cleared Irotn the wreck. The driver
and horses escaped without injury.
On viewing the wreck oftlie stage as
it now lies crushed down in the road, by
the heavy ar ms of the Lombardy Poplar
completely covering it, it seems almost
a miracle that any one therein should
have escaped instant death.
This morning, although it is the 31st
d?y of Spring, the scene around us pre
sents the dreary aspect of the depth of
winter. The snow continues to fail, but
the gale has ceased. We look with anx
ious concern for news from the seaboard
—If,the storm was equally violent there
as in the interior, we may well expect
melancholy details ot the loss of lives and
destruction of property from that quar
ter.
Nf.w-York, April 1.
— —— — Foul and fierce
All \t inter drives along tha darken'd air.
The weather during the whole month
of March has been extremely variable,
and the greater part of the time very
chilly ami cold, if not severely so. We
had a few days of pleasant weather last
week, and Saturday 29lh ult. was so clear
and mild, as to afford promise that the
earth would soon ti-c again as from the
grave, into fresh life and beauty. But
He who rides upon the whirlwind and di
reels the storm, has ordered it otherwise.
Instead oftlie “ vegetable woild burst
ing into life, and waving its hues, ami
spreading its fragrance around,” the
earth is ngain thickly clad in the dreary
vestments of winter: On Sunday morn
ing 30th ult. about 9 o’clock, commenc
ed by far the severest storm that we
have experinced since January, 1821.—
The stton fell gently at first, but it in
creased as a driving wind arose from the
E. N. E. which by 12 o’clock blew al
most n hurricane, fi the atmosphere was
literally daikened by the snow. Such
was the quantity, that had it not been
moift, by the aid of the wind it would
have completely blocked up Ihe street*.
The storm continued furiously through
the day, anil without much abatement
during the nigld also. Towards morn
ing tho wind shilled to the NT. N. W.,
and the snow eohtinued to fall until this
morning. We fear from the direction
of tho. wind, that great damage has been
sustained by those mariners who were
unfortunately on Die coast, when the
storm commenced ; and such is the ad
vanced season of the year, and the quan
tity of snow that has fallen, that we
may anticipate great destruction among
mills and bridges, from the freshet that
must almost inevitably ensue.
Il was indeed a dreadful storm, as will
be seen by the following chapter of ac
cidents and disasters, which probably in-
cludes but x small number of the whole.

As a striking proof of tire violence of
the wind on Sunday, we have only to ob
serve, that the balls of snow falling from
Die trees on the Battery, at tire moment
of coming in contact with the snow on
the ground, were kept rolling by the
force of the wind, until some of them ac
quired nearly the size of a barrel—se

MILr.r.DGKV IM.K, TUESDAY, APRIL 22.
(£/” All arrival at Nmv-Yurk from Liver
pool brings intelligence from Madrid lo the
83d February, from Paris to the ifith of the
same month, and from London to the bill,
ultimo. The bloody strife between France
;wid Spain bad not begun, though every pre
paration for it by both nations was actively
jrogrussing, and there seemed to be less pro
bability than ever of averting the evil. The
proper season for military operations had not
in tact fairly arrived. We must remember
(as is well observed by an American ediuv)
that the lufly heights and wood covered
eminences of the Pyrennees were clad with
snow at our latest advices, and—whatever
may he. the impatience of a Prince of the
Blood ora crowd of courtiers who press for*
ward for feathers tit lea-—these are natural
obstacle* to the march of an army.—M r. Can
ning, the British minister, declared in Parlia
ment, on the 28th, Feb. that," it would be dis-
ingeiiious not to confess, that the hopes here
tofore entertained by his Majesty’s govern
ment of preserving peace, are materially di
minished, but they are not destroyed."—
That it is tile fixed determination nf the Go
vernment of France, tho’ in opposition to the
popular feeling, to wage war against Spain, is
demonstrated by the speech of the minister
Chateaubriand, in a debate on tile propositi
on before the Chambers, for voting a supply
of money to carry on the war; lie said “ Our
interlereiiee (in the affair* of Spain) has no
other object than to destroy all the anarchy
which has plunged in fire and hlnod whole
provinces, which demand their King, their
God, and their religion; and if it had been
permitted to England to repel French con
tagion, shall we In: forbidden to repel Span
ish contagion ? (Sensation in the Chamber.)
The King of Spain is only a prisoner in bis
palace, as Louis XVI was before be ascend
ed the scaffold. Another such assassination,
and wo shall have established, by precedents,
the code, the custom, of raising people against
kings. (Bravos on the right.) War then is
indispensable—it is preferable to this state
of demi-hostilities, which lias all the incon
veniences of war without its advantages, and
which exposes oursoldiers to all the insinuati
ons of the agents of disorders.” M. De Vil-
lele, (who, we believe, has not been classed
among the blood-hounds) declared that he
thought peace preferable to war, but he
thought also, (hat in die situation of Spain
the maintenance of peace was impossible,
and that, at all events, it would be more
dangerous than war.
The King of Spain, who is doubtless a
traitor to the Constitution and to his people,
was nigh falling a sacrifice to their resent
ment, Irom his opposition to a decree of the
Cortes, adopted as a measure of precaution
in the event of invasion, for his removal, and
the transfer of the seat of Government, to
Cadiz. It will excite no surprise and but
little sympathy, if this imbecile monarch,
who owes to Die generous Spaniards a debt
of gratitude greater than he and his posteri
ty can di*charge, shall yet, as the reward ol
bis treachery and ingratitude, become the
victim of popular fury.
t?" The choice of the next President
seems to create at present more interest in
Virginia than elsewhere. In North and
South Carolina very little is said on the sub
jeef. The more than ordinary excitement
at this time, in Virginia may be attributed, we
siip|>nse, to the circumstance of their electi
ons for members to Congress and Die State
Legislature taking place in all this month—
the result of some of these elections depend
ing a good deal on the preference given to
one or the other of the candidates for the
Presidency. An opinion is expressed in the
Petersburg Republican, that Mr. Adams, (and
nnt Mr. Clay) stands next tu Mr. Crawford
in the good opinion of the Virginians.
The following General Orders were
issued from the Adjutant-General’s Of
fice, Washington, on the CClh ult.
“ In commemoration of the highly
distinguished services of Major General
La Fayette, in the war of American
Independence, the President of the Uni
ted States has been pleased lo direct that
the new fortress of the first clas*, recent
ly finished at (he Narrows, below New-
York, shall be called and known by the
uame of" Fort La Fayette.”

SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.
The Hurrisburgh Intelligencer of the 1st
inst. remarks upon Gen. Jackson’s Reply to
the citizens of Dauphin county, Penn.-—
Harrisburg is the capital of the state, and in
I Dauphin county.—The IntelligenccrdeclaTes
that by the address from that county (as it
has been pompously termed) “Gen. Jack-
son himself has been greatly imposed on,
and Die people oftlie U. Slates grossly de
ceived.”—The following circumstances are
then stated lo support this curious allegation:
[ Eneiuirer.]
“ The meeting in this place, out of which all
this noise and hustle has grown, did noi, from
the best information that we can get, consist
of thirty suitable inhabitants; and pail of those
attended out of mere curiosity, li was made
up nf (lie shreds and clippings nf all parties,
and therefore was no way entitled In the ap
pellation nf a democratic meeting. A young
ca/ituiii of militia, from the country, (whom
we understand rather fell in by accident,) was
made chairman ; and an ex lieutenant of the
U. States army was made secretary. A con
siderable committee of correspondence was
appointed—many of whom were not present
to accept or reject the appointments—one of
them a few days after, however, authorized us
to announce that he declined the honor ; but
we thought the meeting of itself was too unim-
portant to occupy our columns with. But, by
unceasing perseverance, it has been pushed
into'notice, beyond w hat was expected. A
committee was appointed lo draft an address
[to “ the people of Die United States; ' and on
that Committee was oneyoung man of consid
erable talents; and truly we believe he has
spared no industry from the hour of his ap
pointment, to the present moment But truly,
it isne ridiculous, to send forth the proceedings
f that 3iacting, as the volco of tbc pcor'n nf
Dauphin county, as it would be for the c,jin-
uilUider of a corporal's guard to i-sue order*
fur a bridgiido. We venture to say, that it (he
voice oittie yeomarny of Dauphin county were
taken to morrow, not one out of i,-u would
prono'qjrc for Ueueral Jackson tu be President
of tlie U. Suite# ’
