The dungeons of t!e Inquisition are open ; and, on the morning of the a general amnesty was published. On the Gth, the desertion among the troops was general. Tice witole Corps of Engineers and Sappers, v ho were at :cicala, passed over to the Insurgents. The Dlputy to the Cortes, Munor Torrero, the who proclaimed the principle of the Sovereignty People, had no sooner arrived at Corunna, than he was named Member of the Provisional Govern . meat of the Province• freyre published the Constitution at Sego c'a, an Eceesiastie had the folly to pull down one (*he placards which announced it.

French 5 pet Cents. Friday, 73 fr. 70 c. According to letters received by the Brazil Packet, which arrived yesterday, Lord COCHRANE has been twice repulsed in his attack on the shipping in the Port of Callao, with the loss of a fire-ship, and of a vessel armed with Congreve Rockets. 2.. s the ..ws," says one letter, "comes from the Chili People t .emselves, and this is acknowledged in their own (;arette, the truth cannot be doubted, but it is thought they have not told all. The San Elno and Prueba I.ad not, on the 11th, arrived at Callao." A Correspondent inquires whether the Bourbon rice of Spanish Princes ever took any oaths to the Spanish Nation on their Accession to the Crown ? and states, that he believes the Austrian race, from Charles V. inclusive, as well as the Bourbons, al ways refused to acknowledge any superiority over them in the Nation. Our Readers will recollect that tl:a Bourbons succeeded to the Crown of Spain :,:lortly after the period that Louis XIV. had re !-Avei to dispense with the advice of the Estates of France. The Spanish Cortes is an assembly of the same sort. We are at a locos to understand the cause of that " wail and lamentation" which some of the Minis terialists are setting up throughout the country, at ;he issue of the different contested Elections. It is vEmy true, that to some of the Members of the Cabi net this may not be exactly as they wiih ; but, from the long-known popular piinciples of the KING, it cannot but give the highest satisfaction to all the friends of his iNTAissTv. A new reign is a new a:ra; and those who were the personal friends of GeottoE 111. are of a different race altogether from those of GEoace. IV.—Were there no other cause to pro- Liuce a change in the spirit of the Government, this would ; and we augur from this circumstance, a more popular character in the series of measures that Ministers will, in consequence, find it expedent to propose, than has belonged to the Administration • the last Regency. We believe that some -of the Nirri,ters already feel the growing influence to which ye allude ; and the Public cannot but have remarked, t:.at Lis MAJESTY has hitherto held but very little in trcourse, since his accession, with some of the most I:;ulniuent orators among his Privy Councillors.

Friday a Charity Ball was held at Greenlaw, near Penicuik, for the benefit of the Poor of the Parish of Glencorse. The united attractions of benevolence and festivity drew together a numerous assemblage, not only of the elegalies of the neighbouring country and adjacent hamlets, but the party was powerfully augmented by Edina's fair daughters, who, besides adding to the display of beauty, assisted by their cha racteristic vivacity is keeping up the mirthful scene till four o'clock the next morning. The Countess of G tdiscow, and Lady MAXWELL, of Pollok, have humanely promoted a Subscription among the Ladies - of Renfrewshire, for clothing the l indigent women and female children belonging to that county.

We are happy to say, the utmost good humour prevails in this city. The only weapons brought into action are squibs and satirical hand-bills; except the exhibition of red herrings by the Cavendish party, to mortify their opponents, nothing else has disturbed the peace.—Lord GEORSZ LENNOt gave a dinner on Saturday to the Freeholders in the interest of Mr. CURTEIS and Mr. Buitasti..

CIL% n LES HorE, their Lieutenant-Colonel, after which the Regiment went through several evolutions in excellent style, considering the short time they have been embodied. The Rifle Company had a fine appearance. In the ranks were a number of Gentle men wearing the uniform of the Regiments of the Line to which they formerly belonged. The Corps mustered between five and six hundred. Monday se'nnight, two Ti oops ofthe 10th Hussars arrived at Perth, from Piershill Barracks.

By letters from Jamaica, of so recent a date as the 7th ult. we learn that the troops continued in a very unhealthy state, some of the regiments having been reduced nearly one half. The squadrcn on the station has also suffered severely. His Ma jesty's ship Iphigenia had sent upwards of 100 men to the hoe. • pital, and the deaths had been numerous, including one Licute tu-nt; Lieutenant IlassivroN of the Marines; the Master, Mr. 11.

We learn, by papers and letters from Montrose, that the contest for these Burghs is now considered as decided in favour of Mr. Hume. The following paragraph is from the Montrose Review: A Meeting of the Town Council took place on Wednesday, when eleven of that body voted for the Provost as delegate for the ensuing Election, and eight members voted for the Dean of Guild. The commission was then made out, and signed by a quorum of eleven, in favour of the Provost, which settles the matter as to this Burgh. Provost Kid will undoubtedly be unanimously elected delegate for Arbroath. BotL these Gen tlemen are in favour of Mr. Hume; and, as the Provost of Brechin, in name of the Council, has, by a letter w Mr. Hume, declared their intention of supporting hint, there can be no doubt as to the result of the Election. The delegate for Bre chin will be elected this day." , A letter from Montrose, dated Friday, says : The game is up here. This day the Brechin dele gate was chosen—five voted for Hume—three for Mitchell—tiko stood neuter. The Provost is chosen delegate; he had previously declared he would go with the maysity." ELGIN DISTRICT OF BURGHS. Extract of a letter from Elgin, dated 15th inst. " We have been in a state of great agitation since Saturday with our political parties, which have run high for some time past. :On Saturday morning, in Irk day-light, two of the Coun cillors in Colonel Grant's interest were picked up and packed off in post chaises to the coast side, where boats were in waiting to carry them over to Sutherland; previous to that Cul. Grant had S votes, and Lord Fife 7. The Council consists of 17, but Col. Giant Is absent, and Bailie Innes would not qualify ; the carry ing off of the two already mentioned left Lord File 7 and Col. Grt 6; the latter thee withdrew to Grant Lodge, and those for t an he former went to the inn under a guard of the populace.l Matters remained in this state over Saturday and Sunday, a subject of merriment to the inhabitants. But in the interim, it would appear, some ill-judged communication had been made to the tenantry on the Grant estates in Strathspey, who, in the course of the night, began to pour in, in great numbers, and nearly 600 marched quietly into Grant Lodge—the alarm was soon given—the drums beat to arms, and the whole town was immediately in an uproar. Messengers were dispatched to Lord Fife's estates, round the neighbourhood, to apprise the tenants, and about noon the town was crowded to excess—for several hours matters wore an alarming appearance indeed : but through the medium of *it. George Abercromby, our sheriff, and some others, the Highlanders were withdrawn about two o'clock : 100 respectable special constables were sworn n in. adinwho patroled the streets, and placed guards on all the avenues leg to the town. In the evening, report followed repot t, that the Ilighlandmen were lurking in the woods, with the intention of entering the town during the night. About eleven o'clock the drums again beat to arms. The windows of the town were all liblited with candles, and the streets with torches. The constables were kept on duty all night, such was the confusion and cOnsterna tion ; but no enemy appeared. The reports were groutolless. The fears of the night originated in live or sit pour renews( hav ing got too much drink, who were seen lettering about the woods, whose numbers were magnified into as many hundreds. At this time, for farther security, the Councillors in Lord Fife's interest were removed from the inn to the jail, where they have remained for two nights. Last night the constables were again on duty; and the town was lighted up. To-day the meeting of Council took place; Colonel Grasse* friends did not attend, ex cept his man of business, to take a protest. Lord Fife's party named a delegate viz. Major Taylor; so the matter is sa far . ovcr. It is ton go od a subject, however, to he so soon d'ne and will, at all events, elfued employment to the lan ers." r+ '1
