An article from ft:? (_< ntinoutal pa- perSj contains a point of intelligence of some lorportance, in as much as it ap¬ pears to confirm a v**rj probable opinion, that the Powrrs of Europe will given timely attention and interposition in the affairs of Spain. The article to which we allude states, rhai his grace the Duke of Wellington will shortly be charged with a most important political negotiation ; it is stated that he i* to confer with the ambassadors of the other great powers at Paris, respecting the affairs of Spain, and rtot he uill then goto Madrid, to lay the result before the Spdnish government. The ambavsadors, it is asserte^ would leceive special instructions from their ourts. and that this important business would be treated with entire unanimity h\ all parties. 'I he character of Ferdinand, as we know by undoubted authority, is that of a weak but well-in top tinned man ; a man regular and extremely simple hi all the nabits of bis private life,—without pride, without extravagance, and with a due ci/f&uittienf fo wh.*f He conceives to be the interest of his country. But all tliese ^ood cjualit!e*> are spoiled by au invinci¬ ble levity of nature, which renders him Ute pipe to every linger that approaches him. He is always the slave of one fa» vourite or other, and has no system but that ot the last adviser. The counsels of his minister: are undone by the wish* s of his wile, or his private friends and com¬ panions, and thes/- aurtiin are in their turn dissipated by the ^rave remonstrances of nis cabinet. It is impossible that a des¬ potic monarchy can be well governed by a king uf this character, and his fall will become a lev on to all future kings, that they ieign for other purposes and other ' bjeets than the indulgence of their own caprices* Ferdinand, however, so far as respects hN own disposition, is not a i)rant, (hough hi- varying sy-tem has gi- vfin him the air of being so. He is in one v\ord a weak man. — IVevkly Messenger. Letters from Dole, (France,) state that a horrible crime, attended with pe¬ culiar circumstances, has been commit¬ ted at the village ■. f Ougney. A woman who was travelling with a considerable .im of money about her, stopped at an inn and asked to remain there for the •ligftti Th»* mish-ess ol the inn and her two sons immediately formed a plot to rob and murder hier, and fixed on the middle of the nighft toexecute tlu-ircrime. Their gue^tin the meantime became sus¬ picious, either on account of the sum of money which -he Iliad, or by being struck with the badness of the phisioguomy of ,ier hosts, and comld not conceal her ap¬ prehensions. In order to encourage her lh" mistress of tltie house promised to 'eep with her, t< tiling Iter at the same rime, that she woe ♦id sleep in-ide.

It lias been communicated to us that a number of strangers, emissaries, we be¬ lieve we may call them, were passing through the country, instigating the peo¬ ple iu the Manufacturing Districts to arm ; and we feel it to be our duty to put the public, particularly the distress¬ ed, upon their guard against their dan¬ gerous machinations. April 2. For several days the peaceable inhab¬ itants of this town have been kept in a state of great agitation and terror, from the alarming indications in the neighbour¬ hood. We present the following state¬ ments to our readers exactly as thev have been given to us, only premising, that we collected thera on the spot from the individuals to whom the) refer, and that depositions to the same effect have, we believe, been laid before the ma4i>trates. The Civil authorities have suspected some time that arms were clandestinely intro¬ duced into the neighbourhood ; but not¬ withstanding their vigilauce, they were unable to ascertain tht fact in a satisfac¬ tory manner. On Tuesday lart, a par¬ cel from Birmingham arrived by the Re¬ gulator, addre-.-d to ** John Payne, Castle-gate, Hudderstield," which exri- d'd i|»,' >ti*f*utff(Htv v4 *1 XV*.' .I.....-1 Deputy Constable ; who thought it pro¬ per 10 wait the arrival of the person who should call f r it. Towards -evening, a notorious Radical, named Gill, enquired [or the package* Whitehead) who was in attendance, came forward and desired to know its contents. The answers of Gill were evasive, and very unsatisfacto¬ ry. It was opened in his presence, and iound to contain a sword, two brace of pistols, three bayonets, two bullet-moulds and two gun-locks: an invoice wasenclo- sed, from which it appeared the charge tor the sword was 5s. for the pistols, per brace, 10s. the bayonets and gun-locks 1 Id. each, and bullet-moulds id. A let¬ ter was alio found, soliciting further commands, and stating that the hurry with which the articles were required, prevented them from being exactly ac- cordiug to order ; that those sent were of a superior quality, but in the present instance, were invoiced at a reduced price. Gill was immediately apprehend¬ ed, and the following day he was exam¬ ined before the Magistrates ; the account he gave of the parcel was, that Fayne is a Higler, at present from home, who re¬ quested him to take charge of it till his return ; he was held to bail to answer any charge that may be brought against him at the next Assizes. " This occurrence naturally excited the apprehensions of the Magistrates, and early on Friday they received infor¬ mation that great numbers of the lower class iu the neighbourhood were armed with pikes andpisMs, and that in the course of that night, an attack was med¬ itated upon the town, when a signal was giifuii) Jynumirrtnu piUomtni tii'dualL-sui1' liOO men- With the promptitude and alacrity which they have manifested on many former occasions, every arrange¬ ment was made for the security of the town : a detachment of the 85th foot, under Capt. Welling, and 4th Dragoons, under Capl. Sibthorpe, were held in rea¬ diness to act at a moment's notice ; and late in the evening the Yeomanry were called out and the other precautionary measures adopted. The signal, a sort of lire-balloon, wasohservedabout2 o'clock on Saturday morning, in the direction of Castle-Hill, near Almondbury ; and several parties of men, iu regular order were seen, in different directions, ap¬ proaching the town. One division came so near as the Marsh turnpike, a short distance from the new church. None of them, however, entered the town, hav¬ ing, it is supposed, received intelligence of the preparations made by the Magis¬ trates.—Two large bodies assembled on Uarkisland Common, and proceeded on their way, as. far as Lindle} Moor : but not beingjuiucd, as they expected, by some other parties, they returned home and dispersed quietly, except firing guns, &c. on their route. " A circumstance occurred the same evening, which convinced the Magistrates that their apprehensions were not ground¬ less. About eleven o'clock a gentleman who lives near Cooper-Bridge, was re¬ turning from that place to Middletou. accompanied by a Game-keeper, and three other persons, whom they had ac¬ cidentally overtaken. On arriving At the Obelisk (or Dumb Steeple, as it is usually called) uear Kirk lees, which our readers will recollect, is the place where the Luddites irudex-voused, previously to their attacking Mr. Cartwriglu'sMill, they passed about fifteen men in a square or circle, apparentl) in close consulta¬ tion. Two of the party, named Bravely and Smith, turned off into the new road, aud the rest proceeded towards Cooper- ^ bridge. They had not, however, gone 100 yards, before they hWtrd their late companions calling for help. " On returning back, and entering the road, they were surprised to see a iium« bcr of men, sitting under ahedgeor wall, each armed with a pike or spear, and near them was a quantity of the same weapons, about 200, heaped on the ground. The gentleman, who was sep¬ arated from his companions, took up one of the pikes, and was proceeding to ex¬ amine it, when one of the men struck him, and he was attacked by several oth¬ ers. x\t the same moment a number of persons, at least sixty, came ovei an ad¬ joining wall, armed in the same manner. The gentleman felt alarmed at his dan¬ gerous situation, and attempted to make off; while doing so, a pistol or musket was discharged after him, the ball of which whizzed close past his head. la the mean time the rest of the party were attacked and beaten- One of them, na¬ med Tolson, received several wounds, particularly one in the left side, and is now under the care of a surgeon. " During the whole of Saturday (the 1st instant) the military and civil power were on the alert. A number of addi¬ tional special constables were sworn in ; and several seizures of pikes and other arms were made in the neighbouring vil¬ lages, particularly at Almondbury. In a house at the latter place, a quantify of pike staves, great numbers of which had been cut from the neighbouring planta¬ tions, were found concealed. Some of the pikes, or rather spears, we have seen. They are of very coarse workmanship, the blade about nine inche.s long, sharp pointed, and having at the broad end a &crc*;, kVitu tvliicti ifi . ate h»>tUH'UiiMjU> a pole about seven feet 1 *ng. Parties i»f horse aud foot patrolled the town and neighbourhood during tha whole of Saturday night, and two men) were apprehended at an early hour on Sunday morning, the 3d instant. A large party was seen assembled on Saturday night about four miles from Huddersfield, in the neighbourhood of Hartshead, but they had dispersed before the military were apprised of their meeting. The town and neighbourhood were tranquil during the whole of Sunday, the 2nd instant, but several apprehensions were espected to take place in the course of last night. The Following person* are in custody, on charges connected with these pro¬ ceedings :—Joseph aud Benjamin Bar¬ ker, of Mirlield ; John Lindley, of Mir- field : George Barker, of Colne-Bridge; and Joshua Hirst, of Deightou<—Leeds Intelligencer. ThiStls&oodt—The following account of Thistle wood is published in a morning paper :—Tistlewood is a native of Horn- castle, in Lincolnshire, arid was born in the year 1770 ; hi- father wa< land- steward to an ancient family in that neighbourhood ; he was placed at an ear¬ ly period of life with an eminent English schoolmaster, to be educated as a land- surveyor. This pursuit in life he after¬ wards declined following, and at the age of 21. became a lieutenant in a militia regiment ; soon after this he married a young lady of the name of Bruce, resi¬ ding near Bawtry, in Yorkshire, who was possessed of property amounting to^300 jjer .xiiiiuui. flMt&UbwoiiU1 Jtr-MunmJ' ihfc- commission in the militia, and obtained another iu a marching regiment, with which he went, at the commencement of the revolutionary wars, to the West In¬ dies, where he soon gave up his commis¬ sion, aud afterwards proceeded to Ame¬ rica ; there he resided for some time* when he obtained a passport for France, and arrived there shortly after the down¬ fall of Robespierre. At the peace of Amiens, he returned to England. Wty Office, March 27.—Major General Sir Henry Torrens K. C.

Private letters from Spain, euable us to lay before our readers an account of the important facts which immediately preceded the acceptance of the Constitu¬ tion by Ferdinand. From the begin¬ ning of the present month to the 8th, but especially from the 6th to that day, dis¬ patches arrived in rapid succession from the Provinces, which convinced the Go¬ vernment of the impossibility of support¬ ing any longer the system of arbitrary power. They were too well apprised that the conflagration which broke out in the Isle of Leon, was making a general progress throughout the nation, and the intelligence was assuming every instant a character more alarming. It was then that the news of decisive events put an end to the last hopes of the expiring des¬ potism. The crisis was awful—and just at this moment, when all was desperate, the King suddenly accepted the Consti¬ tution. When this conclusive measure was de¬ termined on, the Duke of Infantado. Pre¬ sident of the council of Castile, one of those who had been most conspicuous in overturning the Constitution, addressed Ferdinand in the following remarkable
