THE SPANISH INTERVENTION.
The. Journal des Cabals, in a long article on
die Spam-lt intervention, s'lys: —“It appears cer
la.n dial the following me is ■ res were a o tied by
the Council of Mblisters helo a t the Toiler es on

three ship* of the line, seven or eight frigates,
and as maty light vessels. England will, on hex
side, send at least the same number of ships.”
And in amifeer pan of the same article it further
observes:—“lt is thought that within two or
three wcels the mini' er of French volunteers
will amount io about 3000 in Paris alone, who
will be sett in small detachments to B ivonneand
will pass tie frontier m the course of n. x; month.
About, fiftr applications on the-part of officers

Thus it appears that France will send a very j
respectable auxiliary force to the assistance of ;
.Spain, u.klt r the immediate sanction, if not the i
coi.trol of the French, government. We stated, I

FUNERALOFTHELATE MR.CORBETT.
T’he funeral of this gentleman took place at
Farnham, on Saturday last, at half past 2 o’clock.
To this town, which is 3d miles from London,
many of those desirous of attending the I literal
repaired in the first instance. As, however, the |
procession did not make it® appearance there mi. j

WIL.MA ’.T GOBBETT.
The decease ol this distinguished p.artiz.an
writer, was announced briefly in our last paper.
He is said >o have retained his faculties til! the
very last moment, mid to have died with per
fect composure.—The Morning Chronicle liras
sketches bis ij'e and character:—
In an account of himself, io be found in (lie
c election of the works of Peier Porcupine, Cob
belt fires that he was born in ITfifi, As, how
ever, we have derived ihe ah-sve p irtionlars from
Ins family, there can be no doubt of their accu
racy, and it would appear, therefore, that he was '
inaccurately informed as to the particulars of b;s
early life, < n ius return to England from Ameri
ca in 1 Sill. Cohfaett was a self-taught man, in
the true sense of tiie word. His father posses
sed a small piece of ground at Farnham, in Sur.
rey, and Cobbett himself was brought up as a
common agricultural labourer. Jn 1782 he quit
ted his father’s roof and repaired to London,
where he succeeded in finding employment in
the -office of an attorney. Having enlisted as a
common soldier, lie was sent to Nova Scotia, and
attained the rank of serjeant major. On the re.
tarn of the regiment to England, be became in
volved as prosecutor in a court-martial, hut did
not await the issue. He left England for France,
and sailed from a French a port to the United !
Slates, where he main ained himself for some
time by teaching English to Frenchmen. — At <
that time the French or democratic party in A- I
mericc, were loud in their abuse of England, ar.d <
Gobbett was induced to espouse the cause of his
mother country. He published a succession of 1
patnohi is, under the assumed name of Peter 1
Porcupine, written with great force and vivacity. 1
some of which were reprinted at the time in En- 1
glatpri
, ' He was convicted of a libel against Dr. Rushes r
and subjjcted to heavy damages. In ISO 1 he
returned to England, and established a morning j
paper under the title ofThe Porcupine, in which 1
he warmly supported Mr. Pitt. That paper, 0
however, soon failed, and he soon afterwards ee: v
op the Register, which has been .continued to
the prise:.t lime. Coboett commenced his
career as a public writer in England under very
favorable circumstances. lie was powerfully
patronised by the ministry. Mr. Wya.iham went
oven so far in the House of Commons as to de
clare, that a statue of gold ought to bo erected
i to him. His health was drunk at tory dinners
throughout the Island. His letters on lire sub
ject of the Treaty ol America produced a great
sensation both here and on the Continent. Os
this production it was said by the celebrated S-wiss
historian, Muller, that it was more eloquent than
i«oy thing that had appeared since the days ol
Demosthenes. It is generally undersmo 1, that
Mr. Ihn gave offence in some way to Cobbetl,
for on ids return power, Gobbet t lost no op
portunity ol attacking Ins ministry with gre it bit
terness. Os Mr. Wynham he long continued to
speak favorably, ant to him he became hostile.
From a church and a king a man, Coobctt be.
c.imc.in ISOb, a radical- In 1810 ha was sen
tenced to two years imprisonment it* Newgate,
and a line ofjCiOtrd. From an idea that he would
he deprived of his liberty, under an anticipated
suspension of ilie habeas corpus act. he left En
gland for America m 1817; whence he returned
when the suspension terminated. It had long
been a great ohj 'ct of l.is ambition to sit in ilia
house of Commons, and after the passing ol the
reform bill ire was .returned iortfldham, through
the influence of .Mr. Fuller, an extensive man i
ficfurer at Tiidmorden. By his death a varan y
takes place for Oilhatn. We have merely no
ticed a few of the incidents in Mr. Cobtiia’s life,
j In fact he has been continually before the public
during the last r Tty years; and his Register is
so complete a record of all that he has said and
done, felt and thought; that there is n > man, per
haps, of whom s i little can be told (hat wouldj
be new to any class of realms.
\ Cohb’ett was, perhaps, tiie greatest eg.r.ist'lhat
ever lived: and as every ihiug that he did, and
every sentenced that Ire uttered, was important
jin iiis own estimation, tie is the c >n?tvu t.ieine
j of his voluirtious writings. It would be vain to
deny that William Oobbett was one of the most
,powerful writers that England hasever produced,
fie fell keenly and observed accurate ■}’, and lie
ncVer failed to make a strong impression on ids :
readers. His lust register, published on the 13 th I
inat., is.»s animated aehis first American punt- I
phlet, published in the full title of youthful vigor.

We laid before our readers a few weeks since, j
a vote given by ‘Judge Dougherty in 1831),’ up- I ■
on an amendment offered by Mr. Bell of Twiggs, 1 ,
to the B 11 then progressing for the survey and 1 ,
distribution of ilie Cherokee country, containing 1 ,
principles wholly subversive of the St to Sov. ,
ereignty—principles which if recognize! an ! j ,
enrrie I out by the Stales, would ut once, place j ,
in the hands of the Federal Government, unlinii j f
ted and undefined power. f
We did expect some reply from the trie:: Uof j
Judge Dougherty, but so far as we have seen, r
not one word has been said. I' has neither (
been denied, palliated or justified, and lest it [
may have been overlooked in the columns of ■
our bumble sltee', we copy it again, that it him- i r
seif or his friends have any thing to sn v imau tae |
! subject, tliev may have ample time to do so. jj,
O.i the Ist day of December, 1830. 'see J nr- j a

“ And he it further enacted. That nothing in j 0
this act contained sh i i be so constructed, as to ; t
authorize ihe Governor to order me . irvev ars | v
to proceed with ihe survey as centemplafcd by j j,
this act. until he shrill he satisfactorily inform'd „
by the President of ihe Un ted .States, that the \ r ,
public force of the United States will not be j p
employed to prevent said survey and oecu- j
P In support of this amendment, Judge Dough- : ,j
erly’s vote stands recorded as an evenasnng n
monument of h;9 widi- gness fi> to a, |[
government without lirniianon of powers. ’ I a
' Suppose it had passed, m what alt.tude would : a
Geo-mi have stood to the * edera! Government ? | lr
We answer, in die menial and ! P-»s, I t .
lure of supplicating that government to permit I a
her to do that which was reserved to her in the j
Constitution, and of making tne Federal G;v- ol
ernment the sole judg; of the right*.and powers 4
of the State. U this I‘deni, ■a ? \ es, rank ti
federalism, and in the very face ot tms most w
flagrant act ofeubiniasmn, the friends or Judge u|
Dougherty are denounctng Judge Schlev as a ai
federalist. If ' hc enem as of Judge .Schley (a
will fasten upon linn, by as good evidence, one 0 ,
single act of federalism as strong as the ra ?e j CI
here-staled against Judge Dougherty,we pledge j a ,
ourselves to abandon him. n ,
That the-State shou.d not do what she had a ,
the clearest right to do under the Constitution, j j
without leave first had and oh'ainsd from the j n ,
Federal Government, is enough to startle Timo- I t '
t |,y Pickering and Harrison Gray Otis- j ai
Ye T'oop men of 1835, who shouted Troup | i!<
and the Treaty, what say you to tins? When ' m
Troup commenced t!ie survey, was he “ satis j di
f.tctonly informed." And when the President di
threatened to “ prevent it wiili tne public force I of
of the United States,” iiow then ? Why Troup | to
v< ry “satisfactorily informed" Mr. Adams that tpi
no should prosecute the survey, that he should.-
orgamze the military force of Georgia, and
and treat Mr. Adams’s men •• as public enemies."'
' roup’s doctrine and measures wore repub.
■ lean, Judge Dougherty’s must bo federal, for
the two area? irreconcilable as light and dark,
ness. Bui how will the doctrine of the amend,
mrn: stand in comparison with nullification ?
Nullification says the Slates retain all their
original sovereignty—that a single State can
; rightfully exercise “ unlimited discretion in the
I choice and use of all means”—that she can nul.
iify an act of the General Government and avoid
ii-s operation within her boundaries, &c. &c. <fec *
and yet the milliners themselves are sustaining'
as their candidate a man who would place the
.Statu m the attitude of a supplicant at the font
stool of the Federal Government; who would
say to the Slate, you shall not exercise your own
rights without permission ! O tempura, O mores!!!
