Letters from Madrid contain rumours of the follow. ing changes in the Ministry;—Zambrano, Minister of War, to be replaced; Salazar, Minister of the Marine, by the General Apodaca; Ballasteros, in the Finance, by Erro; and Salmon,in theForeignOffice , byLoyanoTorres. Calomude has just now required all the papers con nected with the former report, relative to the establish aunt of the Inquisition, which he wishes to establish, in fact, in order to maintain his authority. Zambrano has placed before his colleagues a spirited writing upon the state of Catalonia; his Excellency thinks that measures to suppress the insurrection cannot be too hastily put in force. M. Silmon supports his opinion, which is not that of M.M. Ballasteros and Salazar. _ --- Extract of a letter from St. Ann's, dated the 20th instant :"."

For the first cliys •Er June, the walks had a most beautiful appearance, and the Pimento planters thought their fortunes made; in a week after scarcely a particle of bloom remained on the trees. A more beautiful bloirm, or a more total failure, I never witnessed; still, from the taking of the two first blooms, find the fine rains, we shall not be so very badly off; I expect to make half of an average."

RICII4, Ano. 28.—A dreadful misfortune happened here yesterday, at the Central House of Correction, between three and four o'clock in the evening. An underground canal has been recently constructed for emptying the sewers, and some of the prisoners were employed in opening the ma'n sewer, in order to facili tate the discharge into the canal. The two fist that went down were suffocated on the spot ; four of their comrades who hastened to their assistance were suffo cated in like manner, while attempting to draw the others from the sewer.. A seventh men pot out in a dying condition. The quarter of the town in the neigh boerhood of the house was infected with the stench which sew from the opening, which no one thirst ap• proach, for fear of experiencing the same fate as thesis wnhappy men who had fallen victims to it, and in whom no signs of life could be discovered. The seventh poor prisoner who was snatched from death died during the night. The other six could not be got out of the sewer until several pounds of chloruret of lime had been thrown in, for the purpose of absorbing the gas, and destroying the mephitic air that exhaled from it.— Journal des Debate.

A circular has been addressed to the Bishops of Ca• talonia to engage them in exhorting the people to tranquillity and obedience to the laws. The Minister of Grace and Justice, who signs it, says that his Majesty has learned with the highest displeasure, that instead of appeasing the troubles, several Bishops have more or. less directly fomented them. The Cellists of Catalonia have abundance of money, and give 40 francs bounty to every volunteer without arms, 80 francs to those who bear arms, and 1(10 francs to every cavalry man who comes mounted, armed, and equipped. They admit men without regard to their political opinions, and among their levies are many Constitutionalists. They speak of a popular movement, of which Sara- gossa has been the theatre. Here, as elsewhere, the agents of police had not seen clearly, and the Royalist volunteers are animated against them. For positive details, the courier, who is to arrive to-morrow, is ex pected with impatience. We receive from the kingdom of Murcia very afflicting accounts of the misery of the population, caused by the drought, which has burnt up the crops. The establishment of a consulate for the commerce of Madrid has experienced great difficulties. M. Angulo pleads old age, and M. Andres Caballero bis infirmities, as pretexts for not acting. The news of Mr. Canning's death' has given a mo , mentary joy to the Apostolics, which was allayed by I the nomination of his successor. The objects of the Apostolics in raising Catalonia, is supposed to be that of raising the nation, and precipitat ing it on Portugal, to raise Don Miguel to the throne. A Royal decree, of the 10th inst. orders the Military Intendant of Catalonia to raise money for the use of his division on all the funds in that province, civil, mili tary, or ecclesiastic ; and dectees the penalty of death to any who may attempt to frustrate the contribution. The Minister of War has just announced to the Cap tain General, that by the 26th of the current month he will have in Catalonia at his diposition 10,000 men of the best troops of the army, infantry, cavalry, and ar tillery, which, it is supposed, will be force sufficient to restore tranquillity. It is certain that the troops already sent have en. countered and beaten the insurgents on the 18th inst. between Balagues and Certierax There reigns in the greater ism of the cities of Catalonia the most unheard of disorder. Sometimes the pretended Regency,—.' sometimes the central junta, send nominations, crosses, fades (of promotion), diplomas, Ike. all in the name of g Ferdinand—.." slave," they say, " of the police, and, would you believe ?" of the Liberals." Those who are :educed to accept such honours cannot easily with , draw from the insurrection, and, being anxious to take possession of their appointments, are in no small hurry to turn out the real functionaries ; hence strife, disorder, fights, and the total suspension of administrative action, judicial, military, and financial. There is no more mention of Charles V. in Catalonia. The only cries are" Vive le Roi Absolu," a A bas la Po lice; and " Vive 1 InquisiiiO4." FROM THZ GAZSTiIt DI FRAHM DAVID 3EPT. 4. PARIS, Sem S. The journals have announced the seizure of a Narra tive of the Funeral of M. Manuel. None of them indi cates the presumed cause of this measure. May it not be found in the inflammatory speech of one of the ora tors who addressed the crowd round the tomb? If this discourse is culpable, which it• ?s not our business to de. cide s several questions will be raised in this affair; the first is, to know whether none but those persons are to be looked to who kindly declare themselves the authors of the work—that is to say, whether the system of re sponsible editors is applicable to pamphlets as well as to newspapers! The law will decide. At all events, the wish which we may be allowed to form, after the nu merous complaints which have been made of the viola tion of the sepultures which were trodden under foot on this occasion is, that the Administration may think of providing by positive regulations that the asylum of the dead may not become the arena of party, which might be easily prevented, by admitting only the family and chosen friends of the deceased about the coffin within the burying-ground. Another question will arise: it would doubtless be asked to what degree the tomb or the hearse may become a tribune for harangues, from which whoever pleases may be permitted to agitate the multitude? There are legal en ictments respecting publications delivered aloud in the midst of mo . :s. and there are funerals which unhappily assume that charac ter. The respect due to religion, to the dead, and to the public tranquillity, replies before hand to all these questions. _ TheMoniteur quotes from the Gazelle de Francs, dated Monday (second edition), an article positively de nying the assertion that an Algerine corvewy of 22 guns was cruising off Cape Si. Vincent :--4. We find no men tion of such a ve.sel," says the Gazette," in our letters. The ships that sailed fr om Brest have passed Cape is Vincent, as well is our cruisers, without seeing this cor tte ; it is not known that any one is at sea ; all the ports of Algiers are blockaded ; the merchantmen sail. ed with convoy, and this corvette, if it really were there, instead of being a cause of alarm, would be only an e and speedy prize to our men of war.

West Smithfield, where the Fair ii now held, was in ancient times a place of considerable importance. The Hospital of St. Bartholomew, founded in 1102, by Rahere, a pleasant merry Gentleman, who was called the King's Miniatrel, stood on the East side. King Henry H. granted to the Prior the privilege of a Fair, to be kept yearly at St. Bartholomew tide, for three days. To this Fair all the Clothiers in England and Drapers of London carried their goods, and had booths within the church•yard of the Priory. A Court of Pie Powder (Pied Poudre) was held during the Fair for the recovery of debts and contracts, as it is held at the pre. sent day. The Priory was surrendered in the 30th of Henry VIII. The spot where the clothiers and others assembled to sell their good's is called Cloth Lis at the present day, and the Lord Mayor proclaims the Fair en or near the original ground. Time, which changes all things, seems to have given a right to intro. duce goods of every descriptien, and to h*. licensed plays, interludes, &c. Smithfield was set apart in aides times for military exercises, justings, tournaments, sad great triumphs before the Princes of the Realm and Nobility. In 1362, Edward 111. in the 96th year of his reign, held a grand tournament s during th e fi rst fi ve days of May. The King, Queen, and most of the Chivalry of England, were present in Smithfield, which was the scene of the contest. The Knights of France, Spain, Cyprus, and Armenia, came on ' the occasion to request the aid of the King of Eng. land against the Pagans,who had invaded the Christians. —ln the forty-eighth of the same reign, the celebrated Alice Perrers (the King's mistress) rade as Lady (shim Sun, from the Tower of London, through Cheap, ac• companied by many Lords and Ladies, every Lady leading the horse of her Lord by the bridle. When they came to Smithfield, a tournament commenced, which continued seven days.—ln the 14th of Richard 11. ac cording to Froisart, Royal Just. and Tour naments were proclaimed in Smithfield, to begin on Sunday after the Feast of St. Michael. Many foreigners came, and among tI em appeared Valerian, Earl of St. Paul, wbo had married King Richard's sister, the Lady Mani, also Wiliam, the young Earl of Austria, son to the Elector of Bavaria. At the day appointed there issued from the Tower, about three o'clock, sixty coursers prepared for the tournament. Each was rode by an Esquire of Honour. Then came sixty Ladies of Honour m o u nte d upon palfreys, and every Lady led a Knight by a chain lof gold. The Knights had their armour adorned with white harts and crowns of gold. They came riding 'through the streets of London to Smithfield with trum ' pets and music. The King and Queen came from the Bishop of London's Palace to see the Just. in which ( many noble courses were run to the pleasure of tLe be. holders. In the 17th of Richard 11. several Lords of Scotland came to gain honour by dismounting Engliih adversaries. The Earl of Marr challenged the Earl of Nottingham. They rode several courses, and the Earl of Marr was thrown, both horse and man. Two of hi s ribs were broken. He was carried out of Smithfield, but died• before he could reach Scotland.—Sir P. Da. rell, banner bearer to the King of Scotland, challenged Sir Piercy Courtney, the King of England's banner bearer. They ran several courses, and gave over with. out victory.—ln the twentieth of Henry the First, a challenge was fought in Smithfield, the King being present, between Phillip k Beanie, of Aragon, Knight, and John Ansley, an Esquire, of the King's House...-. They came into the field armed. The Knight with his sword, and the Esquire with his spear. The Esquire cast his spear which the Knight avoided. The E quire then took his axe, and made the Knight drop his axe three times. The Esquire drew his dagger and would have killed the Knight, kid not the King cried " hold," and so they puted. . The King made John Ansley a Knight, and the Knight of Aragon offered his armour to the Conqueror at Windsor.—.We might add the battle between the Bastard of Burgundy and Lord Scales, in the reign of Edward IV. and divers challenges arising out of legal charges, which were fought in Smithfield, but the above will suffice to spew how much the exhi bitions of former days - excelled the annual scene of nesse and folly which we witness at the present day. y.

The St. Omerians, the English, and the Belgians, who inhabit this town, are in the highest state of excite ment, in expectation of the arrival of King Charles X. which, it is stated, will take place next week. Tole town has less the appearance of a French than of an English or Dutch one. The streets are wide and ex tremely clean, the houses are large and comfortable.— true that at any other time, except at this moment, it has a look of dulness about it, which one would sup pose might deter people from fixing their residence; but, in consequence of the kindness :hewn to foreigners by the inhabitants, the Cheapness of habitations and provisions, a great number of English families have fixed their abode in this place, and many of them have lived here for these ten years. There was formerly a celebrated English Catholic College in this town, to which most of the individuals intended for the Church resorted, and the children of the principal English Catholics were sent over here, or to Douai, to com plete their education—among these we may mention several Dukes of Norfolk, Lord Peters, Dr. Poynter, and the late Mr. John Kemble—But at the Revolu tion this fine edifice was sold, and has since been a hospital, and then a manufactory. There are, however, several excellent boarding schools, principally in tended for the education of the English Catholics. St. Omer is situated in an extensive plain that was formerly a marsh, but now exhibits every appearance of fertility, being covered with fruit trees, vegetables, and torn. There are two or three extensive manufactories within the walls. The one which merits the greatest attention lis the clay pipe manufactory belonging to Mr. Fiolet ; from six to eight hundred men are constantly employ ed, and from eighty to one hundred thousand pipes are manufactured daily. They are sent to Holland, the ' I North of France, and to most of the sea ports in the kingdom. The establishment is well worth a traveller's notice. 'There ha magnificent ruin at the extremity of the town ; it was formerly the celebrated abbey of! St. Bertin. Daring the Revolution it was demolished, and, with the exception of the principal tower, 240 feet high, nothing remains but an immense heap of broken stones and bricks. The camp is situated about two miles and a half from St. Omer, and seventeen or eigh teen thousand men have been employed daring these six weeks in erecting batteries, digging trenches, and strengthening the fort that was erected last year, called the Fort of Enriaghen. If the allied armies were in hostile array on the French frontiers, and were about , to invade their territory, greater activity could not be , displayed than is strewn in the preparations now going forward to entertain his Majesty with a mock fight and an attack upon a (supposed) fortified town. The men are frequently kept at hard labour from six o'clock in the morning till eight at night, and we are persuaded they would have to encounter less fatigue in a real campaign ; but as there is no danger attending this species of warfare, a double portion of hard work is allotted to them, in lieu of the certainty of getting hard blows. Yet these timulaires of fighting are attended with serious consequences—at the grand manoeuvres! that took place yesterday on the heath, between the camp and Sr. Omer, a mine—which was, of course, only intended to skew the young recruits whAt fre quently happens in a real attack, unfortunately exploded before the time, and a dozen soldiers! wartopmely wounded. A great number of English, from BA ls, Lisle, Ghent, Arras, and even Paris, have arrived to witness this innocent warfare. The hotels are crowded, provi sions have doubled in price, and it is no easy matter to procure a bed-room, unless, indeed, you consent to pay about four times as much for it as you would at any other period. The fair daughters of Albion, some two hundred of them, are seen walking about the neigh bouthood of the camp admiring the French gaudy uniforms and martial appearance of the military, who seem not a little proud that so many beauties should feel desirous of witnessing their evolutions. The French Officers phew the greatest attention to these fair stran gers, and every possible accommodation is afforded them to see the sights. There are to be half a dozen balls, concerts, dm during next week. His Majesty is to occupy the magnificent hotel belonging to Monsieur That which has hitherto afforded the greatest enter tainment to the Ladies is, in witnessing the dances per formed by the soldiers. On one side of the camp you will see a party of the natives of Provence exhibiting their agility in the graceful and lively quadrilles peen li.ir to that people; in another a group of youths !loin Languedoc or Auvergne amuse you with their fantastic quick movements, encouraging and exerting themselves with their voices—.
