WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1820. FUNZILIIL n wts Lant hisaurr.--No business done at the Stock Exchange of Pub& Offices. The solemn spectacle is this day presented to us of a whole Nation mourning in the deepest since rity and anguish of heart, the loss of a Father and a Sovereign. Tonight all that remains of our late revered MONARCH mill be consigned to the cold and silent mansions of the dead The display of affliction on the interment of the lamented Princess CHARLOTTR, universal as it was beyond all precedent, was scarcely more remarkable than what we see exhibited around us on the present occasion. AU the shops in the Metropolis are closed ; business of every kind's suspended; and the Churches are filled with persons of all rinks:. clad in deepest, mourning. The great bell of St. Paul's, and the bells of all the other Churches, are tolling ; and the Union flag is lowered half-mast high on the Tower, the Admi ralty, the Parliament House, and other public build ings, as well as on all the shipping in the River. At eleven o'clock, the Right Hon. the Lo RD MAYOR, accompanied by several of the Aldermen, Sheriff RoriivrELL, and the RECORDER, went in State from the Mansion-House to Saint Paul's Cathedral. The servants of the Lord Mayor ltd Sheriff were all clothed in deep mourning. We stated Tester day a rumour that has not yet been contradicted, and we believe cannot, that on Friday the Law Officers of the Crown made a Report to the Cabinet Council on a case laid before them relative to an Illustrious Personage, and that it was their unanimous opinion, that an indictment upon the facts could not be supported. This opinion, it is said, was signed by the ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR GENERAL, and his MAJESTY'S ADVOCATE GENERAL. —And, in a Second Edition, yesterday, we stated a rumour prevalent in high quarters, that a most serious difference of opinion, as to certain measures of the last :importance, had existed between his MAJESTY and his Ministers; that it was even said, that the differences had proceeded so far, that on Monday night a change of the Advisers of the Crown was reported to have . been resolved on, and that the Cabinet was sitting on matters connected with the Report of the Law Advisers, and circumstances rising out of it, at the time our Second Edition was putting to Press; but that we could not vouch for the truth of the differences alluded to, having pro ceeded so far as rumour stated. This business vas the subject of general conversa tion yesterday afternoon, and many rumours were, in consequence, in circulation. Whatever was the result of the deliberations of the Cabinet, nothing was suffered to transpire in anything like an official form. It is important, however, to notice, that nothing is announced publicly,•but that the Cabinet Council sat till half-past four.—That is—no change has yct taken place. It is understood, however, that on the Report of the Law Officers to which we have alluded, the Cabi net had decided, unanimously, that no process for divulge could be agitated; but report says, they had "submitted to his MAJESTY, that a short Bill might be brought into I': rliament, with a probability of its passing the two Houses, declaring, in its preamble, that as their .3lajesties had been separated, and had lived separate, for several years, it was not expedient that the QUEEN should have the ceremony of Corona tion. And if this should pass, that her MAJESTY might be inclined, on a suitable provision, to remain abroad."—lf this be correct, it would appear that this middle course has not been thought sufficient, and, among other rumours, it has been reported that Minis- • ters, unwilling to take upon them the responsibility of agitating the question of divorce, after having re cc-ived the above opinion of the Law Officers, had tendered their resignations. It was this rumour that gave so much interest to the Meeting Of the Ca binet Council yesterday, as it was inferred that, if the opinion and re.>olution of the Cabinet were not acceded to, their resignation would have been re : ceived yesterday. By the Official Court Circular it only appears, that the Council sat from two o'clock till half past folir. No change, ,therefore, has taken place, and the conclusion is, that the idea of an in dictment, is . abandoned for the present. 1 would answer no good purpose to repeat all the idle and unfounded rumours to which these circum stances gave rise yesterday. One statement, how ever, should be noticed :—lt was said, that the Mar quis WELLESLEY was sent for to Carlton Palace, and that the 'Noble Lord had an audience of the' KING. The inference endeavoured to be connected with this was, that his Lordship had been consUlted as to the propriety of forming a new Administration; and; no change having taken place, that it had re sulted from his interview that no new Administration could be formed which could be expected to come to a different decision on the Report of the Law Officers of the Crown. The Marquis was not at Carlton Palace. Since the foregoing was written, we have learnt, from a quarter likely to be as well informed on what is passing as any person not in the Cabinet, that on Monday evening the present Ministers were abso lutely out of 'place. The LORD CHANCELLOR and another Minister having waited on his MAJESTY that evening,- and reported the decision of the Cabinet-re specting the QUEEN (on the Report of the Law Of ficers), his MAJEsTr is reported to have said, that " that being their decision, he must look out for new Ministers." On this declaration, the Ministers bowed and withdrew. • Yesterday morning Lord CASTLEREAGH had an interview with his MAJESTY : w hat passed is not known ; nor whether the KING or the Ministers gave way ; but only that this was followed by the meet ing of the Cabinet, as we have stated above, and that Ministers are again in pbae, ~ We hie further been infortne-a, that the Report of the Law Officers was, in substanck 4. that, under the Statute of Edward 111. the Crugnx could not be tried for High Treasdn."—All the other circum stances are still covered with a veil.

Yesterday morning, M. hives, a Spanish General Officer, entrusted with a diplomatic mission to: United States of Amerita, arrived at Paris. He left Madrid on the 3d, that is to say, lubsequently to all the letters and Gazettes hitherto received, which are not later than the SI st ult. The Spanish Embassy, and probably the French Govorninent, have accounts of what passed in Andalusia after the 26th, and it Madrid after the 31st ult. to the-3d inst. The fol• lowing are details, which appear to have escaped the usual diplomatic reserve. The insurrectional movement, of which Cadiz was the theatre, on the day of the 24th, ought not to be regarded as a fortuitous event, or one of little im portance. A part of the garrison, joined by a num ber of the inhabitants, formed the tumultuary assem blage ; exclamations of " Long lice the Constitution and the Cortes r served as the rallying cry. They went towards one of the gates of the city, in order to open it to the insurgents ; who, on their side, made demonstrations of attack, and seemed only to wait the success of this movement of the inhabitants: The gua'rd posted at the gate were nearly two hundred strong, and received the assailants with a volley of musketry the combat was short, but bloody. The Chiefs of the commotion disappeared ; they effected a safe retreat, either in the city or out of it; they have not been arrested. The spirit of internal dissension is not extinguished ; it is only restrained. The Governor feels himself in a situation of the greatest embarrassment. The au thors cf the commotion, among others Colonel San tiago Rotalde, belong to the principal families of Cadiz. The latter is married to the daughter of a Lieutenant-General of the Royal Marines. The Royalists put great trust in the Marines, whose fide- 1 lity various measures have been taken to confirm ;' but things may take such a turn as to render their assistance necessary on board the ships. General Villa-Vivencio, who commands the squadron, wishes, at all hazards, to prevent the ships falling into the hands of the Insurgents ; were such an event to hap pen, the consequences would be incalculable. The bead-quarters of the Royal Army were fixed to be at Xeres, on the 27th ; General Freyre was to be there in person on the 28th. The distance between Xeres and the bridge of Suazo. before the Isle of Leon„ is ten Spanish leagues, or about sixteen post leagues. It is impossible not to perceive a great slowness and much hesitation in the march of Gene ral Freyre; the Court is very uneasy at it. A report was current at Madrid, that an advanced guard, of between seven and eight hundred men, of the Royal Army, bad had an engagement with the Insurgents, at a league's distance from the Isle of Leon; and according to all that appears, after ex changing some rounds of shot; the soldiers of Freyre passed over to the other side. No letter from Andalusia has arrived at Paris by the last Courier.—Ceostitutionnel. The French Consul at Cadiz has addressed a let ter, dated the 18th January, to the Members of the Chamber of Commerce of Bayonne, in which he an . nounces to them, that the Quarantine of Observation which had been imposed on that City, had ceased , since the. 15th of this month, and. that the Commer- at MI the' nu tat of the vr 'cial relations between it and the etterior established.—Monifeur.
