The issue of the Trial at York, and the facts which were there 'satisfactorily established respecting the peaceable demeanour of the immense multitude as sembled at Manchester, on the 16th of August last, are now the subject of general conversation, among even the highest circles. The general opinion is, that Lord CASTLEREAGII, and the other Gentlemen who have been the dupes of false information, cannot, in their private character, submit to the stigma that now attaches to them, but that they must, in vindi cation of their personal honour and integrity, satisfy their parliamentary friends that they were indeed' impo.ell upon, and were in no respect whatever the inventors of the falsehoods which, it now appears, they, in their simplicity, were made the organs of uttering. Mr. HuNT arrived in town yesterday morning, and his Liven notice of his intention to move for a new trial, or to set aside the verdict, on the follow- iug grounds: 1. That the Resolutions passed at the Smithfield Meeting were not evidence, and ought not to have been admitted as such. 2. That the fact of the Yeomanry having killed fourteen per sons, and wouuded 613, was evidence, and ought to have been admitted. 3. That the verdict is contrary to law. 4. Thu the verdict is contrary to the direction of the Judge. S. That the verdict is contrary to evidence. 6. That one of the Jury was ngt a Freeholder.—And 1. That the Jury consisted of Magistrates procured and packed by the Master of the Crown °See. . - The conduct of Judge BAYLEY is universally ap plauded—his temperance, c. dura.e, moderation, and impartiality, have, indeed, never been exceeded. The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this morning. The only intelligence they contain is from Spain. Two Decrees hare been issued by FICHDINAND, rela tive to the Finances. The first bears in substance, that the KING had always desired to separate the direction of the Public Credit from the Adminis tration of the Treasury, but that superior circum stances had prevented him from realizing this wish. " At present," says his MAJESTY, " I do not wish to delay, for an instant, putting in execution Article 355 of the Constitutill, which I have sworn to, and which prescribes this separation." It is in conse quence ordered, that henceforth the establishment of the Public Credit is separated from the Treasury.--, D. BEItNARDIN• TEIGNES ?RAD°, and D. ANTONIO BARATA, wilt) had been named b the Cortes Admi- ristrators of the Public Credit, resume their functions. The second Decree, after reciting the 338th and fol lowing Articles of the Conctitution, which orders the Cortes to fix the annual amount of the Taxes, an- rounces, that consicLring the nemsity of meeting the expenses of the State, the K ENO, by the advice of the Provisional Junta of Government, maintains the exist ing system of contributions, until the General Cores can assemble. The KING declares, that he has taken the most prompt measures for accelerating their as sembling ; and that, in the meantime, as the existing Junta of Finances presents nothing in its attributes which is contrary to the Constitution, it shall conti nue to fulfil its functions. This Junta is to prepare a work en the Establishment of the Contributions, which will be presented to the Cones. Madrid continues to enjoy the most perfect tran quillity. All the Members of the late me-holy In quisition have received orders to quit the capital, and several persons who exercised an undue ascend. ancy over the KING, have been alto removed from about his person. As soon as the intentions of the Provinces are known, it is- meant to convoke the Cortes, who will meet, it is expected, about the Ist of May. GtaoN, an Officer of distinguished merit, is said to have been appointed Minister of War. All the accounts yet received announce the adop tion of the Constitution throughout the Provinces.— It was proclaimed on the 9th at Cadiz, in presence of Generals FREYRE and VILLA Viti.x.tecto, even before the events which had taken place in the capital were known ; but, according to letters from Seville, of the 11th, this event did not take place without some fighting between the people and the garrison, in which not less than sixty persons were killed.— Among these unfortunate victims to the new order of things, were Generals CarepANa and VALDRLe..- The KING'S adoption of the Constitution would be known at Cadiz on the 13th ; and this, it was confi dently expected, would put an end to all divisions, and restore union and tranquillity to the city. At Saint Andero the Proclamation of the Consti tution was not made till the 13th, and was attended with some measures of rigour. The Governor, Que. save, M. VIAL, a merchant, and several other persons, have been arrested. At Saint Sebastian General ARIZAGA is said to have died for grief at the triumph of the Cortes. At Sarcelona, General CUMIN. bat not been able to remove the prejudices which the people had conceived against him. Onlhe 10th, he Went out of his Palace, quite alone, into thomidat of the people and thesoldiers, wbo had assembled to proclaim the Constitution, and advancing with a book open in his hand—" This book which you see," said he to them,' with a strong voice, but considerable emotion, " is the Constitution of the Spanish Nation, published at Cadiz in 1812 ; it is this to which I swear before you."—These words were hailed with cries of " Long live the Constitution !—Long live Religion !—Long live the King !" General CASTANOS had himself the prudence to yield up the Civil ord Military Power to General VILLACABSPA. He appeared forgotten. On the 13th, however, an extraordinary courier brought the news, that the KING had sworn to the Constitution, and that at the same time General CASTANOS I General CoroNs, and their partizans, were confirmed in their employments, The people, informed of these events, crowded to the Palace, whither the Bishop and his Vicars also repaired. VILLACAMPA appeared at the balcony with CAS TA NOS, and they embraced, but immediately cries were heard cf, " Long live Villactunpa ! Perish Cas tanos I" VILLA CA Si PA. called out that the past should be forgotten, but the people rejoined that they did not want CASTANOS any longer. The altercation lasted about two hours. At last, nothing could be heard but cries of! " Down with Castanos!--Down with the Bishop and his Vicars I—Down with General Corns and his myrmidons!" VILLACANtPA succeeded in maintain ing tranquillity, and sating CASTANOS from the yen geance of the people, by means of a numerous de tachment. A Junta of Citizens, named by the people, and prisided by VILE, ACAMPA, immediately asiern bled,. and decided, in order to escape the worst• of evils, that General CASTANOS, his Aides-de-Camp, General COPONS. t 1 .1:1 Marquis DE VILLEt., XIPEL, the Administrator of the Lotteries, and some others, should leave Barcelona, and be conducted, under a good escort, to Madrid. This decision was announced to the people, and since then all has been tranquil. Vittocia did not hesitate a moment in recognizing the new order of things, as soon as intelligence arrived of the events of Madrid. In Valencia there has been a considerable degree of agitation. General ELIo had managed to keep that province in subjection, until the nnomert Of the KING'S orders for the adoption of the Constitution ar riving ; and had so irritated the populace by his con duct, that he was obliged to take refuge in the cita del from the fury of the people. . He remains there protected by the honour of his successor. • Colonel' RIEGo, whom General O'Dossit. had ceased to pursue, has taken up his quarters at Cor dova, where he has been joined, on terms of the most perfect amity, by O'llosNxt.. • The Provisional Junta have represented to the KING that he ought to remove from his service the, seventy persons who, in 1814, signed an Address to the KING for the subversion of the Cortes. Many of these persons are already out of the service. 112 Indicator of Bourdeaux, of the 22d March, has the following paragraph Yesterday, to wards six o'clock at night, an Englishman of dis tinction, named G !tow ES (we suppose GnosE) accom panied by a secretary and a valet-de-chambre, were stopped here, on their way from Paris to Sp:Cul, for several hours, in virtue of superior orders.— This stranger travelled in a berlin and four, and was preceded by a courier. It appears, that after the exa mination of his papers, he obtained from the Autho tities permission to continue his journey, which he did immediately." A Dutch Mail arrived This forenoon, with Papers to the 25th instant. The following are extracts : HAGUF, MARCH !3. SECOND CHAMBER OF TILE STATES-GENERAL, MARCH 22. In this Sitting was read, by order of his Majesty the King, the modified Project of the four Laws relative to the Public Expenditure, and to the ways and means of providing . for it during ten years, com mencing with the year 1830; and also to the Ex traordinary Expenditure and Ways and Means for the present year alone. The Expenditure, as fixed in the diurnal Budget, is diminished about eight mil lions, and is now estimated at .59,875,052 .florins the Extraordinary Expenditure is augmented in the' same proportion, and is now estimated at 21,311,481 florins. The Ways and Means proposed are nearly the same as before, but with the difference, that two-thirds of the receipt of the Duties of Customs and Excise are placed in the. Ordinary, and one third in the Extraordinary Budget. A Memorial was also read, sent to the Chamber by his Excellency the Minister of Finance, to clear up and explain the Financial Laws, as now re-mo delled ; stating, among other things, the reasons for which certain sums are placed among the extraordi nary expenses, and other information, for the re moval of various objections that may probably be made, all to facilitate the examination and discussion of these most important laws. FRANKFORT, MARCH Is. It is affirmed that Count Saul Schauenstein will be at Frankfort before the 10th of April; and that there is nothing to prevent the Diet from resuming its Sittings on that day. We learn, from good autho rity, that a circular letter has been sent by the Bawa• rian Government at Spiro, by which t)ie Justices 1 of Peace of the Rhenish Bavarian Provinces are • did►, penned from answering the questions which may be put to them by the Central Committee' at Meat. Whether it be from obtaining explanations respecting the democratic intrigues in Germany, or for any other information against Bavarian subjects,. the Ba varian Government not - only orders all such informa tion to be refused, but releases the Justices of Peace from all personal responsibility on this account. The Irish Papers, received this morning, mention another act of singular atrocity committed . by the Rabonmen. - On Monday se'nnight, a body of them, to the number of about three hundred, went to the house of Mr. WALKER, of Belleisle, in the County of Ga!way; and there being nobody at - home but the Ladies of the family, and a young lad, eighteen years of age, the ruffians broke the windows, destroyed the furniture of the house ; and, but for the interference of some of the ringleaders, would have consummate d their villainy, by cutting out the tongues of the young Ladies!. The Ladies, it seems, were suspected by the i ßiblonmen of having disclosed their signs and oaths. Tuesday, the Duke of YORK held a Military Levee, at his office in the Horse Guards, as Commander in- Chief. It is his ',VA.:Eyries pleasure that the South Tyne Yeomanry Cavalry shall henceforth i;ear the name of the 4. Tyne Yeomanry Hussars." Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Cis - a itcgcs left town for Frogmore, on a visit to the Princess Au ousrn for a few days. The Princess SOPHIA passes her time in strict. se clusion, admitting no visitors, with the exception of Prince LEOPOLD, but her Royal brothers and sister. Her Royal !Ii mess has latterly given directions for the sale of all her horses, those for the saddle as well as the carriage, and she has also reduced her domes tic establishment to the lowest possible scale. The Princess AUUVSTA is on a•visit to her Royal Highness at present, and they frecitrently take a carriage-airing in the Park, attended by General TAYLOR. . _ Prince LEoPoLiz dined with the thiclicss of KENT on Tuesday, at the . King's Palace, KenGingtun. His Royal Highness in general visits the Duchecs daily when in town. Yesterday, Prince and Princess ESTERNAZY ga v e a most magnificent dinner, at their noble mansion, Chandos House.

A frigate is ordered by Government to be in readiness :it Dover on Saturday, to receive his Ex cellency the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR and suite, as his Excellency, with his travelling retinue, will leave his house in Charles -street, Berkeley-square, on Saturday morning, for Dover. Mr. HaNRY HARRIS is returned from Dublin with out having been able to come to terms with the Pro prietors and Creditors of the Theatre, to whom Mr. HARRIS offered a rental, which, it seems, exceeded the annual profits of the House upon an average of ten years. _ _ The site of the New Theatre to be erected by the Proprietor of the present Theatre in the Haymarket (which is to be pulled down after the ensuing season), is to be opposite Charles -street, in the Haymarket. It will be a small convenient Theatre, so as to enable the audience to see and hear with comfort, and will be completed for the season ls2l. The following is a list of some of the performers already engaged:— Messrs. LISTON, JONES, TERRY, J. RUSSEI.I., Dtrße-- •BT, MTS. GIBBS, Mrs. MARDYN, Mrs. LISTON, Mrs. 'GARRICK, and several froM the country. The Livetpoel Mercury publishes a number of Let ters from a Gentleman at York. In these Letters the applause at Mr. HUNT'S question to Mr. HOLTON, wh:•ther the. people in the Court were linked toge ther ? is described as having had an effect on the ear like lightning to the eye ; Mr. HUNT'S speech is mentioned as most improssice, and it is said, that at one period he " melted the Ladies, and four of the Jurors to tears 1" FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.
