The Chamber proceeded to the adjourned debate on the Project of Law respecting Public Journals and Periodical Writings. On the first article, which went to prohibit the free publication of Journals and Periodical Writings, Blaimais CONSTANT proposed, as an amendment, that the Cen , orship should not extend to publications appearing utterer than once a month. ' On the other hand, M. Mecum demanded that the law should cease to have any effect after the Electora, Colleges were convtne.l. The : . %lINISTER for FOREIGN AFFAIEi considered the amendment altogether unnecessary. Baron DENIERcAY said, the th. j ect of Ministers in bringing tor..lird the law, was to .r.troy the liberty of the cc : y ; and, the refore, he should vote for the an,r.. e,.r. • _ _ : . .q.u.%srtANl considered this as a measure which . ....nL to suspend the exercise of Constitutional rights !:c called the attention of the Chamber to et. 2 eIlii:: 1 71voi the King of Spain, upon whom a w.is imposed by the very army which he Lad ein r io)ed, in 1314, to overturn it.

The Official Gazette contains also . several Decrees, an extract from which we shall now give. One of these Decrees ordains the meeting of a new Council of State, composed as follows IX Joachim flake, President; I). Pedro Agar, D. Gabriel CisLar, his Eminence the Cardinal Bourbon, D. Andrew Garcia, 1). Martin Garay, D. Francis Zavier Castanos, D. Joseph Ma riano Almanza, I). Pedro Cevallos, the Marquis de Pedral- Llama, D. Justo Maria Sbar Navarro, I). Joseph Ayeinena, 1). Antonio Rancanillas, D. Francisco Requena, D. Estabait Vvrea, D. Joseph Lugando, lii,:cretary, and D. Juan Madrid Davila, the same. • The persons who composed the ancient Council of State, will preserve the tide of Honorary Couni.el lors of State, and all the honours and emoluments which they enjoyed. By another Decree, his Majesty accepts the re• si t ;nation of the Duke de San Fernando, Chief Secre tary of State, and appoints him his Ambassador Ex traordinary. at the Court of Vienna. D. Evarithe Perez de Castro, Minister of Spain at Hamburgh, is nominated to succeed him, and D. Juan Jabat, for mer Plenipotentiary at Constantinople, is charged, ad interim, with the portfolio of the Chief Secre tary of State. By a third Decree, the King accepts the resina tion of D. Joseph Marior D'Alos, Minister at War, and names in his place Lieutenant-General the Mar quis de las Amarillas. By a fourth Decree, his Majesty names D. Antonio Porcel, Secretary d State for the Trans-Marine Government. By a Decree, of the 14th'of March,. the King has ordained the provisionary re-establishment of all the Constitutional Tribunals exercising judicial power ; conformably to the Constitution and the Regulation of the 10th of October, 1812, it enjoins all the Mem bers of these Tribunals to take the oath required at the same period by the General and Extraordinary Cortes. A Decree of the 16th of March ordains, that the oath to the Conititution be taken by all the inhabi tants of the kingdom, in the same manner as in 1812, and in strict conformity with the Decree of the Cortes of the 18th of March in the same year, which pre scribes the mode and form in which an act so solemn ought to be executed. By another Decree, of the 17th of March, the Ying, to remove those doubts which might arise on the subject of electing those individuals who are to compose the Constitutional Assemblies, the meeting of which is immediately to take place, has declared, vi:th the advice of the Provisionary Junta, that the 3.stric persons, who is 1814. were Akades ) liesidoss, and Procurator Syndics, may be re-elected for the' present yoar.; ' .

JOUrlit GA 1141 A DI 1.1, MOLL " ()'RODS THE GAZETTE DE FRANCS.) On-the 10th inst. the Constitution was proclaimed at Seville, with the greatest solemnity. Before that day, it appears that an engagement had taken place neat Moron, between the troops under General O'Donnel, and those commanded by Riego, who re ceived a ball in the cape of his coat during the action. It is, said, that the Regiment of Nurnantia, which formed a part of O'Donners troops, manifested some fury against the prisoners, whom the people of Seville received with transports of joy. The publication of the Constitution restored everything to order. (FROM THE CONSTITOTIONEL.) Seville proclaimed the Constitution on the 10th, but them was, as in Cadii, much passion, resent ment, and rancour, in consequence of recent arbi trary proceedings. In Valencia, Elio was ready to do homage to the. Constitution—to creep through all the forms, and swear to it. But the people would not allow it, his very presence irritatA, and he retired. His. col league, Egnia, nicknamed Collailla (the little toil) has vanished—that stout champion of vigorous ex tremes, has hid himself nobody knows where. Madrid is deluged with paniphletsfrom all quar ters. From the tone of the Gallicians, Arragonese, and Spaniards in general, it is easy to see that it was time for Ferdinand to conjure down the storm. The Duke of Infantadu, who, as President of the Council cf Castile, made all Spain tremble, now descends to solicit the protection of the Journals, and prays them to make an excuse for him. So the world goes. All Spain is anitnated with the same spirit as Madrid. The exceptions arc so few as not to merit notice. The conduct of the two brothers O'Donnel, the Duke d'Abishal, and Don Joseph, has cast a momen tary shade upon our political horizon. The one tra verses La Man: ha, and seems to trace out a particu lar course for himsell—not because he wits unwiAinz, to' detach himself from the Government just termi nated, but that he is piqued at his not having the lead in the Revolution. His brother has had an unhappy affair with the troops under Colonel Riego, near Grenada. There was a fearful misunderstanding— ua ess it w.ls that O'Donnel abused the generosity of the constitutional Chief:, The conflict was at first disastrous to the troops of Riego, who bad no notion of :ighting their countrymen. But at last the peo plc &dated for Riego, and O'Donnel abandoned by his troops, took refuge in Gibraltar. The ,cenes at Cadiz 5611 remain covered with a mysterious veil. About a hundred, we understand, fell victims. The Inquisitors have been disrniz•sed to their respective benefices—for they all had benefices. The Jesuits ate satisfied with any form of Govern ment—if they but have a shore. EVE'NINi; FAA LONDON. SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1820. THE FUNDS. PRICE Of STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK : 3 per Cent.

We received two days ago a letter from Paris, stating, that " the Kist.; of SPAIN had written to " the KING of FitaNer, that lie had only taken the " Oath to maintain the Constitution of the Cortes, in order to prevent his being dethroned; but that " his sentiments remained unchanged." This state ;lent appeared to us quite incredible, and there fore we took no notice of it; for, even on the sup position that such a letter had been received by the KiNcr of FRANC; we held it impossible that the contents could have been suffered to transpire. We ought, however, new to add, that anyther letter from Paris appeared yesterday, in a respectable Morning Paper, stating the same fact, and acWing, that the KING of SPAIN, before taking the Oath to the Constitution, had " privately made out a so. 44 lemn Protest against kis own Oath, and all the " concessions consequent thereon, as not being given 1" with his free will, but wrung from him by force.* * This Protest," the letter adds,.." he sent off by a (4 Courier to the head of the family here Eat Paris j, " to be deposited in the archives, until a proper " occasion should offer for its production. But MINA " intercepted the bearer of it, took a copy, and then " allowed the Messenger to proceed with the origi " nal."—This letter accounts, but whether truly or' not we cannot say, for the contents of FERDINAND'S letter having transpired. We are unwilling to believe, that a King should take an oath with a previously avowed intention to break it as soon as he might find it safe to do so; but history furnishes a similar ex ample of want of good faith on the part of a Mo narch—not, however, accompanied with perjury.— An intercepted letter of our COARLES I. to his ChlezN, desired her not to regard any promises he might publicly come under to the Parliament party, in his then circumstances, as being ultimately bind ing on his MaJarrY. On this very letter hinged the fate of his Mansiir. CaostweLt, and his party were satisfied that no pledge of sincerity could be obtained from the KING, and we all know what was the result. We shall still hope, however, till we obtain some levidexce to the contrary, that no such letter as hasi beer. stated was ever writter by the KING of SPA ix: and that, of course, the story of such a letter hating been intercepted, is a wicked fiction. The Paris Papers . of Tuesday arrived last night, and, in a preceding column, we have given large ex tracts from them. The Project on Individual Li- . berty having passed through both Chamber% has received the Royal Assent, and is published in the Moniteur as a law. The other Project, for imposing a Censorship on the Press, is still under discussion 'in the Chamber of Deputies. The Spanish news consists almost wholly of official acts, more import- ant than interesting. We have also, this forenoon, received the Paris Papers of Wednesday. The adjourned discussiou, in the Chamber of Deputies, on the Project for subject ing the Press to a Censorship, was continued through out the whole . of Tuesday, and with an increased de. gree of asperity on both sides of the House. A variety of Amendments, too numerous to detail, were proposed, but every one of them negatived, some of them, however, by very- narrow majorities ;• and the first four Articles of the Project, which embrace its principal provisions, were adopted in the form pro posed by Ministers. The discussion was again ad journed tillWednesday,when it will probably be closed. The Bulletin of the Ktso't Physicians, issued at eight o'clock - on Tuesday morning, states, that his MAitstv had passed the preceding day well, and that his stomach complaint had quite abated. At one o'cick he gave audience to the Archbishcp of PARIS and to Prince TALLEVRAND. The Journal. des Debats contains an addition to the Spanish news of the preceding day, which is of very considerable importance. We have just learnt," says its Madrid - article, " that the Constitution was proclaimed in the Island of Cuba on the first of January ; a fact of great importance, since it proves that the combinations - of the constitutional party em braced equally Spaiti and the Colonies. It was on the first of January that QUIROCIA and the troops of Andalusia rose in insurrection:' French 5 per Cents. Tuesday, 75 fr i 50 c. A liamburgh Mail arrived this morning.

The taxes brought in during the year 1819, a lit tle more than three millions, of which sum two mil lions were produced by the direct taxes (on land, persons, and income), and one million from the in direct taxes (consumption and stamps). The ex penses of collecting, &c. amount to 11 pet cent. so that the net overplus was nearly 2,769,000 rix dollars. STOCKHOLM, MARCH zo. In order to encourage a direct trade with Brazil, our King has ordered, that when tea, cinnamon, ginger, avid pepper, are imported from that king dom to Sweden, in Swedish vessels, tea shall pay only one-half, and the other articles two-thirds of the usual import duty. For several weeks past, a rumour has prevailed in and about Paisley, that a general rising was in con templation, and that the disaffected were very ac tive in making the necessary preparations for that purFose. The report was, that large parties of Ra dicals met every night in the adjacent woods and moors, to learn the pike exercise and other military tactics. The Authorities received information upon Saturday last that an immense number of pikes, and other deadly weapons, were deposited beneath the ground in a:place called Legget's Wood, and accord ingly they went off in the afternoon, attended by a considerable number of Constables and a small party of Military, to make the necessary search, but it was without success. They again renewed their labours in the evening, having fine moon-light, either to search some other place or to ascertain whether any persons could be found at drill. Nothing, however, of the kind was discovered, neither pikes nor Radi cals, and there can be little doubt that the making of these instruments in such numbers, and the ex istence of these drilling parties, are exaggerated ac counts, if net entire fabrications. During the proceedings, the principal streets be came much crowded with people, all anxious to learn the result, some of whom were behaving in a very improper manner, treating . the Authorities, .and thel persons accompanying them, with the utmost levity. l About eleven o'clock at night, a cry got up at the Cross that there was , fire 'in Moss -street, and the mob hastened towards that place, when it turned out to be only a little hay-that was burning. In return ing to the Cross, the military were ordered to drive back the crowd, when' a number of obstinate persons were taken into the Police-office, and others much hurt by the commotion. . ' • Monday two men were apprehended in Glasgow, one of whom had a pike in.his pdssession. We regret to learn, from the French Papers, that Mr. (Sir CHARLES we presume) BLAGDON, Member of the Royal Society, died suddenly .on Monday night, at the house of Count BERTHOLLET, at .Arceuil. To-morrow, being Easter Sunday, will be ob served as a collar-day at St. James's, and the 'Jerald& and I ) ursuivants will attend with their banners in th • procession to and /torn the Chaitel Royal.

A replery has just Leen effected, on the payment of £5OO. 'The real state of the case• was as follows :—The coachman had the folly to secrete two half tinkers of Hollands gin within the vehicle; and his fellow -servant, the footman, angry at not being let into the secret, laid an information, and the seizure of the carriage and horses was the consequence. Both the servants have been dismissed. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. Lord Foley, at his house in Hamilton-place, from his seat in Worccsurshire.
