PARIS. Jan. 28.-—'l‘he Minister of Foreign
Afihirts has lnfoi‘mr.d Duke de San Lorenzo, the
Spanish Ambassador,that his passports are ready.
A private letter from Paris,dated Jan. 28th says,
‘this is the most important day in the history of
France since the l‘e's‘l.0l'all()t). France, which
bears and sees nothing but what is the creation
of a revoltrtion, has declared war against Spain,
bt'C8ll?:’-8, without initiating her excesses. she has
fisllowccl her example. The anxiety of the pub-
lic about tlieopening ol the Chambers was in pro‘-
portion to the importance ofthe occasion. Ev-
ery place that cotrld be obtained at the Royal Sit-
ting. by interest or influence was engaged’; and
500 t'rancs we: e offered for at single admission.
This speech, according to the report, was re-
ceived with loud demrrmtrations of applause by
the Cl,-amber-. And the Duke d’Angouleme, that
worthy descendant of Henry the Fourth to whom
he bears :0 striking a resemblance, when he was
alluded to as the Prince whom the h_eartofLt=uis
delights to call his son, and as the leader of the
100000 l"renchmcn,who are to march andiiivoke
the God of St. Louis to preserve the 'l‘_hrone of
Spain to another worthy descendant of Henry the
Fourth, the duke assumed a valiantiztir, and theat-
rically clapped his hand on the hilt of his sword.
‘ The Emperor of Russia is about to renew his
relations with the Porte. By a letter from AtIc0-
Iia ofthe 12:lr inst. it is said that —a Russian secre-
tary of Legation was expected at Constantinople.’
‘l he Madrid papers of the 15th, announce the
powers of the Holy Alliance. they took the
road for Brayonite on the 14th. On the 13th and .
14 h a ‘number of addresses were presented to
the Cortes from public bodies, corporations,mil-
itary corps 8:c. in approbation ofthe spirited an-
swers of the Government to the Notes of For.
eign Powers. The French Minister was expect
ed soon to follow the other Ministers. The Rus-
sian Minister, reached Paris on the 25=h.
It is said, that in the event of the invasion of
Spain by. the French, Mina -has given the deadly
advice to divide the whole ofthe forces under his
command into bands of one hundred men eacli,
for the" purpose of harrassing the enemy by ia‘3€*it3‘object,tthey are ready to decree every species of
Guerrilla warfare on a grand scale.
The French ministerial paper L’Etoile, of
Vl/ednesday se’nnight, says, that t France has re-
first, by the Duke of \Vellington, and secondly
by Sir VV. A’Court.’ 'l be same paper states
that the instant the Anibassadorsof Russia, Aus-
tria. and Prussia, arrive in Paris li-om‘Madi'id,
they will be accredited to the * Regency ofSpain.’
A Madrid paper of Jan. 17, states that the
‘ greatest union prevails among all parties in the
Cortes, to resist, in case of war, the effects of for-
eigners. In the jsitifllg‘ of't-he l6'.h a Deputy

l\rI.tnitin. Jan. 13.-—'l'ite following is the ad-
(lress prest:ntet'l by the Cortes lo the King of
a
‘ Sz‘rc----'l‘lie Extraordinary Cortes. in hearing
the notes of the cabinets of Paris. Vienna, Bop-
lin. and Petersburg, which your Majesty order-
ed to be commtinicated by your ministers to
them, have unanimoiisly resolved to direct their
voices towards the atigtist throne ofyonr majes'y ,
in an expression of the feelings by which they
are animated. The Cortes would fail in their
first duty-—they would inadequately express the‘
wishes ol the people whom they repi‘cst-nt—il
theydid not declare the surprise and indignation
which they felt at the strange doctrines. the man-
which these documents contain, particularly the
three latter, as vicious in their substance, as con.
trary in their form to the principles established
among civilized nations; monstrously insulting to
the Spanish nation, to its most distinguished chil-
dren, to its Cortes, to its government, and even
to the throne ofyour majesty. The Cortes, sire.
have lion-d with sing-trial’ satisfaction, the frank,
honourable, and energetic answer which your
minister has made to those notes, and which you
have communicated to the Cortes. They cannot
but approve ofthe noble disdain with which your
government, without descending to refnze as-5,-er-
rions. notoriously false, and which had they been
otherwise, they~liad no right to prefer against it.
confined itself to a statement of the principles
which direct it—prii:ciples which the legislative
body loudly proclaims, which all Spaniai-do ro-
pear, and which they will support with the con-
stancy ofa people faithful to their promises. and
which nothing can shake wliilethey defend their
honors and independence. It does not belong to
the Cortes to inquire into the real motives ofthe
conduct observed towards Spain by the cabinets
of Paris. Vienna, Berlin, and Petersburgh, any
more than to anticipate the results ofthe answers
returned by the government. of your Maj: sty;
but, whatever may be these motives or results_
the road which the legislative body must follow.
is marked out forthem by the constitution itself,
by the avowed and unanimous opinion oftlieir
constituents, and by the. sentiments of national
honour, which, being felt so strongly by all Span-
iards, must,more particularly animate the assem-
bly of their representatives. The Cortes, in a
crisis so memorable, are called upon to exert
themselves, and are in fact exerting themselves,
to draw closer the ties which unite them to the
royal power, and to proclaim,as they do now pro-
claim afresh, in the face of the" nation,’ofihe
world, and ufpostctity, tlieirdetertnined resolu.
tion to Sustain the glory and the iiidependence ol
the throne of your Majesty, and of your cnnsti-
tutional authority, the sovereignty and the rights
ofthe heroic nation which they representiand
the constitution by which they exist. The Cortes
are bound to a.ssui'e your Majesty, and ilicy do
assure your Majesty. that to attain so sacred an
sacrifice. certain that the a Spanish people will
bear them with joy—-with enthusiasm ; and that
they will resign themselves to all possible evils,
rather t han enterintotet-ms with those who would
pretend to taint their honour, or to attack their
libe ties. —- _ g ' .
A Royal Ordinance has been issued by the
Spanish government stating, that in consequence
of claims made by England for’ indemnityrlor
captures from the merchants ofthat nation since
the year 1804-, aind~also for‘ "other damages occa-
sinned to Englisli property, and that siuliicient
timefnotbeing allowed ’for the king to come to
any resolution, therefore, it is declared to the
Consulates of Spain‘ that there have sailed from

,'l’e‘rra F itm-a and‘ Porto Rico‘, with orders to de-
jtaih Spanish vessels to the atmotint‘ of the debt.

GREAT FIRE AT Citi~:'roi~:.—'l‘lie Caledonia,
E. .\l. Donultlson, commander, left Whampoa on-
the l0;h. and the Cr‘andJl..adrone the 13:1, of
November. Ptcvious to her departure, the most
destructive fire occurred at Canton, wliiizli \t_;t5
ever kiiovt n at that place. It commenced about
9 o'clock on the evening of the lst of Nov. in a
little Dyeing establishment, direcilyNorth ofthe,
l"at'.-tories, at a distance of nearly one mile ; and
by midnight had gained so great a height, and
approaching the Factories with such incredible
rapidity, with a strong wind blowing directly
towards them, as to excite the most alarming
appreliensions. Orders were in consequence
sent to \Vliampoa. for every man that could be
spared from rlte shipping, with the intention of
levelling the Chinese buildings, immediately
connected with the factories, as the only means
ofsaving them; as it was ascertained that the
Chinese were making no efforts whatever to ex-
tinguish the fire; having but little Water, and
most wretched means ol ‘applying it, rendered
all their attempts unavailing ; and a scene of tin.
equalled confusion, and distress prevailed, in en.
deavoring to save their p"operty from the flames,
which the conlined streets, and immense throng
rendered iiiipossible. Considerably before
day-light, the destruction of the factories was
thought inevitable, and measures taken {or the
removal of the property from them. with Chop

cupyingthe front and middle factories. succeed-
ed in the rcmoval- of the most valuable goods.
before the fire had reached them ; but so so-olden
was its altl)ro-ach, that seteral of the back Facto-
ties were-enveloptd in flames before even the
specie, and most valuable goods could be remov-
:_ec,l :-——tlte difficulty being very great in obtaining
assistriiice ; and from the unfavorable state ofthe
tide, and a strong head wind, the boatsfrom the
shipping did not reach until late this morning;
when must of the factories were in ablaze, and
ill attempts to arrest the flames fruitless. The
crews were of great assistance however, in re-

the boats ; and preventing the natives from plun-
dering, which they were very intent upon, and
from the confusion that prevailed, the utmost vi-
gilance could not entirely guard against.
By noon, nearly the whole ofthe factories were
a strong gale, blowing a continual stream offire,
directly in front, to which all were exposed, in a
very confined space, rendered a longer continu-
ance oii shore instipportable; and likewise for
the safety of the boats, were obliged to withdraw
into the stream ; and from tltei-ice could only wit--
uess the unopposed ravages of the flames, which
raged vtith inconceivable fury the whole day, and
as night approached, the whole of the factories
(uptv-aids of sixty in number) including ilic firm-
lish, Dutch and Spanish Company’s establish-
ments. together with a number of the security
merchants’ l-longs, were in an entire blaze ; and
the flames extending along the shore ofthe wes.

sented at scene, strikingly grand and sublime ; but
exciting the most painful feelings at its calami-
tons consequences, and the misery it occasioned;
thousands were‘ obliged to fly to the opposite

whole of the factories by day--light the next mgr-
ning, were reduced to a mere heap ofruins; the
English Company’s building continued burning
for 2 days alter, in cor-iseqtitiice of the immense
quantity of woollen goods deposited in them; it
also continued burning along the shore to the
west of the factories, until every building was
destroyed in that direction; extending to a dis-
tance of nearly 2 miles. It was impossible to
a‘sc8i‘l.t_Illl with any degree ofaccur-any the amount
of property destroyed. The loss to the Chinese
was= in‘t:alcu'lable. lihe official report ofthe offi-

and their inability to renew them for a consider.

to the Americans was saved. The fsailorsiancil
boats of the British. and American vessels were
ordered on s'rioi'e to assist in protecting the prop.
