SPAM% CADTZ, DECEMBER 5. • It appears that the British Amb/ssador at this Court has sent, by the English ship of war the Ca nopus, for the approbation el his Government, the plan of a Provincial Junta for this city, v..hich bas already obtained the approbation cf the Supreme Council of Regency and of the Cortes, respecting a new system to provide for the subsistence of this dis trict and its defenders. The preservation of this island, which has such weight as to the independence of the kingdom, and the hopes of its safety, and the , avoiding the danger which may ensue from the dis- I tress of the soldiers and sailors, in readeling the place I defenceless, notwithstanding all its fortificaticns, are the objects which the Junta have had in view in the proposed plan ; the principal pcints of which are as I follow :—s 4 The entire amount of the public revenue 1 of this district shall be deposited in the provincial treasury cf this city.—A loan for 40 millions of reaLs (about one million sterling) shall be opened, on the Fart of the English Government, in favour of the Spanish, under the guarantee of credit which the for mer shall give the latter for an equivalent considera tion, to be negociated by the Junta of Cadiz.—Of 1 this sum, four millions shall be applied monthly, to j increase the revenue of the provincial treasury ; but this sum on no account to be exceeded.—Both sources of revenue shall be employed solely in paying the army and navy employed in the defence of this island, for 1 the military hospitals, the fortifications, and the pay . of the Deputies of the Cortes, the Regency, and Se cretaries of Dispatch.—Since, according to the esti nnate of the .Treasurer-General, the revenue of the • 'district, even with the addition of four millions of / vials monthly, is inadequate for all the objects men tioned, the deficiency shall be made up by a fair and equitable proportion. The dish ihution shall be verk fed by the Intendant, and the Junta shall exercise its proper jurisdiction for the direction of the Provincial .11,inta, agreeably to the instruction of the Council of Regency of the .18th of April ; and reforms shall be set on foot, in order to eltabl.sh the most rigid eco nelny. The loan shall be redeemed in four years, by t qual payp ents, for which purpose the Junta shall regulate the proper pipportsons ; this district, in a j aw proportion with the other provinces, participating . in• the public revenue which accrbe from America.— l'ifti ocher contra.• tion shall be imposed on this dia.- •triet...--The Juno' alone shall have the power of lay- iris on these imposts, and also of repaying the dife. sent sums of the loin, at the appointed periods. As soon as the English Government shall have approved of the loan, this system is to be immediately carried into execution; bat not unless the loan can be accom.
