- A PUBLIC MEETSG of the,YRIENDS of Sir Il WILLIAM CURTIS, Bart. M.P. and Alderman, who are desirous of securing the Return of the Honourable Baronet, as one of the Representatives of the city of Lend,ri in Parlia ment, at the approaching Election; will take place TO-M9R ROW, at the London Tavern, Bisittmsgate-street.—The Oink will be taken at One &Clock precisely. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. NyEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1820. of the Spatich people is, beaotted • 00 WA-ridden; the insurrection must ultimately fail. If, on the other hand, the mass of thq, people tiriderstand and appreciate the benefits of a Constitutional Govern ment, despotism and bigotry,, mutt fall, either before this qr some future .and early insurrectionfor in surrection, it will be observed, has been, n annually returning phenomenon in Spain since the restoration. A person looking closely to the recent history of this unhappy people, will see that they are not so , debased as to be fit for, or capable of enduring the, foot of despotism or priestcraft upon their necks. It may be expedient to refer to the return of King FEiDINAND in 1814. The following is the account of popular feeling at that time, given by the Con ciao, a Spanish Journal, written with talent :- 4 , We cannot conceal it—two parties exist in Spain. The one consists of those who love and support the political reforms which have taken place—the other, of those who oppose, or hypocritically pretend to cherish them." The latter, as soon as FERDINAND touched his native soil, threw off the mask, and stigmatised their opponents with the most odious names. 'But still the Cortes and their partisans main tained their ground in so formidable a position, that FERDINAND, on his return, remained several days hesitating whether he should or should not accept the Constitution. He was, in the meantime, assailed by some of the Nobles and a band of Priests, and his evil genius prevailed. He annulled the'Constitution, and declared all who should abet it, by acting, writing, or speaking, to be rebels and traitors, whose punish ment should be death. A slanderous and treacherous intimation was given at the same time, that the Counter-Revolution took place under the auspices of England. The Ktsc; arrived at Madrid. Some creatures, hired or imbruted, cried, " Live the King, down with the Constitution." But this was not thought a suffi cient pledge of loyalty, and it u•as deemed prudent to -arrest in their beds, several hundreds of persons within a few nights. Thus, then, there was still a dread of the Cortes party. The servile cry was kept ❑p only by a miserable and scanty populace, some • unworthy Courtiers, and the Priests --not, however, all the last•mentioned, of whom some wrote and fought, and even advised the KING, in. support of the Cortes. The following passage of as Address pre sented, with great solemnity, to the KING, by the . celebrated University of Salamanca, deserves to be, recorded : Reseated on the throne of Spain, a throne preserved at the expense of such rivers of blood, your Majesty enjoys all your rights, and the Nation may promise itself a futurity which will indemnify it for the sacrilices which it has made with so moth courage and generosity. Yes. Sire, the Nation expects final the reign of your Majesty the reward of its heroic devotedness ; but if that Nation, solely given tip to it, enthusiasm in the happy event of your restoration to its wishes, has neglected to be anxi ously careful about its future political interests, the generosity of your Majesty is not less bound to fix, on solid bases, theexist euce acd the happiness of your People. Your Majesty his spoken. These bases are already fixed in an irrevocable mei ner : they rest on the word of a Spaniard and a King. Real and personal property will be guaranteed by laws which secure good order and the public tranquillity. ' Every one shall enjoy that salutary liberty, the exercise of which is the first blessing of Ci tizens, urAls.; the temperate reign of a Prince, who must be the father of his subjects. The Press also will enjoy that just liberty, which, *while it does not degenerate into licentiousness, suffices for the cJrnmunication of useful ideas. and the progress of the art , ani scienc,:s, the propagation of Which enlightens the Go vernment itself, and tends to produce that mutual respect so necesaary among all the members of society. The Public Taxes shall be fixed in concert with the Representatives of the King dom, assembled in tortes; and with Me concurrence f Flint lines, your Majesty will establish the laws, that are in future to deter mine the rights of all the Citizens." This w as not the only proof of party in support of the Cortes—an insurrection broke out in Navarre, under the celebrated MINA ; armed bands sprang up in Estramadura, Andalusia,. Arragon, Valentia, Ca talonia—and. king FERDINAND sent amongst them some troops, armed with the sword, but without the scales of justice. It should have been observed, that, by this time, he had re-established the Tribunal of the Holy (Vice, in order to restore " the 'Holy Ca tholic and Apostolic Religion of Spain to its pristine purity," which had " suffered from the sojournment of different sects, almost all infected with sentiinentsj' &c. and this is the only mention which Ferdinand has mode of his British Allies, • since he ascended the Throne ?f Spain. He pursued this disastrous policy, of placing the reins of Government in the hands of the Priesthood; and after not only the Holy Office, but the Pope's Nuncio had been re-established in the plenitude of power and honours, it was proclaimed through Spain, " that the concord between the Priesthood and the Government was secured, and the bases of the tranquillity and safety of the State, could no longer be shaken." How that has been verified, let experience decide. What year has passed with • out an insurrection? What class of the community is most zealous for a Constitution ?—The military. —lf the Cortes party was strong in 1814, how much stronger must it be now, after the provincial prisbns have been filled by the Inquisition, the peasantry harassed and plundered by exactions, military and clerical, under the sanction of the Crown, and the merchants violently stripped of their property ? It , may be said, then, that the active influential majority of Spaniards wish for the blessed protection of legal rights. They wore Catholics, as now, when they enjoyed the early Constitution—one of the freest possible—so well described by ROBERTSON. They were Catholics at a much later period, when they applauded the wisdom of their SOVEREWN ) the grindfathei of the present, in banishing dm . .looks.'

TIERNEY." We insert, this day, a Letter from the veteran Agriculturalist, Dr.TRustER, to which we entreat the attention of our Readers, as pi eliminary to other Letters on a most important subject, the best means :or increasing the agricultural produce of the king dom, furnishing labour for our numerous population, and increasing the gains of our landholders and farmers, at the same time that the prices of suste nance shall be reduced to the consumer. We have •iten endeavoured to call the attention of the Public to these important topics, and we are happy in having our intentions seconded by so able an advocate, one so well qualified to do justice to the subject. • It is undeniable that cur present system is radically wrong. We are aware that many impediments op pose themselves to any sudden alteration ; but it is imponible but that benefit must result fiom a cool and dispassionate examination; and, let us add, those who would discourage it, must have their minds . strangely warped by prejudice, or by mistaken views of self interest. Can any thing be more palpable • than the truth that, the greater the number of con sumers of any article, the greater must be the de mand, and the higher the prices for the ankles they consume? In fact, it is a self.evident truism, and yet we have men an:ong us who aim at improving the condition of the Agriculturalists, by diminishing the number of mouths that consume their products. But, forsooth, our Pcors' Rates are oppressive ! Is emigra:ion, which directly tends to impoverish the farmer, by sending away his customers, a measure calculated to prochicc riches to any class of the com marii:y ? The saying of »zeney adds nothing to the riches of the community : nothing does this but la 7 ionr—productive labour. But labour you cannot have without hands, and the more hands you have, the greater is your means of creating riches. It is complained, however, that employment can- not be found for our labourers and workmen. This complaint, when duly analyzed, amounts only to this :—We have the means of creating wealth—the only means by which wealth can be created, but we are ignorant how to apply the means to the proper end. What, then, should prudence dictate in this case ? To destroy or banish the means ? This is madness, not prudence ! Wisdom says—Look at every part of your present system: ascertain where an increase of hands can create an increase of pro duce, and apply in that quarter the labour necessary to that increase of produce. Your lands that are in culture may,.by a change of system, be made to furnish employment to your whole population, with ir.creased comforts and be nefits to the Agriculturalists. Away then with igno rant complainings and wasteful emigrations. If you bad not land on which to employ your labourers—or if already you had brought all your fields under spade cature, you might, perhaps, have cause to be wail your lot ; but, on the contrary, you have great cause to rejoice that this inexhaustible mine of em ployment, individual wealth, and general prosperity, still remains to you, a possession of which no foreign rival can bereave you. The events in Spain occupy a great share of the public attention at this moment—and the crisis is really important. The occurrence or non-occurrence of a 11!volution in the most degraded, but still one of the greatest kingdoms of Europe, must fill a large space in the eye of• Nations. To anticipate the re sult—that is, whether a Revolution will or will not take place, but little stress, comparatively, is to be laid upon the mere isolated aspett of the Insurgent or Royalist troops. All depends upon the elements of which the Nation is composed. If the great mass ••• • s • PRIVATE LETTER._ " CADIZ, JAN. 16.—The occurrences which have made a noise here within the last two weeks are very singular, though in some quarters not unexpected. We are at this moment besieged as vigorous - 1y as we were, during the time of the French. Such an event not being looked for by the Government, and as we were just at the close of the fever, we are unprovided with a garrison. All is dread and conf►ision, and the Authorities do not know what to do, dreading that the populace will force open the gates to the Insurgents, who are now estimated at 10,000 men. The first labours of the Bishop, and the terrific Pro clamations of the Governer, in some measure al layed the symptoms of ferment which began to strew themselves; but this is temporary. Mr. Isturiz, merchant, and brother of the Member of the late Cortes, a clerk of the same house, Lieutenant Pup, of the Regiment of Catalonia, curate Salcedon, No gales, Urrutia, Ortis, Ramos, and several others, who were prisoners in the Castle of Santa Catalina, have escaped with the greatest ease, and joined the Insurgents. The mails received from Madrid, by' the way of St. Lucar and round by water, are im mediately conveyed to the Head-quarters established in Los Pavellones de San-Roque, near the marine gate, and there, in the presence of the Governor, Bishop, &c. the letters are . examined, and those which are silent on political matters are then distributed to the Public. It is rumoured that the JVinistry in Madrid is divided in its opinions. " The Minister of State, the Duke de San Fer nando, and the one of Finance, Salmon, are at va riance with the War Minister, Alos, and Mate Florida, of the department of Justice. The King sticks firm to his old advisers, Bencomo and the Duke de 4lagon. As soon as the arsenal and dock yard of La Caracca was taken, all the prisoners con fined in the horrid dungeons of Las Quatro Torres, one of the worst prisons in Spain, were set at liberty. It was there Miranda died, It is said they were very numerous, and some say amounted to 1,200. Among them were many Liberales, as well as South Ameri cans. The famous Patriot called Cojo de Malaga was among them, who in 1814 was pardoned by Ferdinand in Madrid, when ready to ascend the gallows. A corps of 550 Volunteers bas been formed in La Isla, chiefly out of retired soldiers. The present leaders are beloved by the soldiers, and they are well 'paid and fed, which is not the case with those fighting for, Ferdinand. " JANUARY 17.—1 n all probability you will, ere this, have leargt of th:z unfortunate disturbances which have taken place in this country, from which circumstance it is said the Expedition, so long in preparing, will be abandoned. There are, however, more favourable accounts to-day than we have had for some time. Report is, that some thousands of the loyal party of the troops are marching from Madrid to quell the revolutionists. Whichever way it may eventually end, we shall have to turn our attention to some other means of employing the ships here, as it is said the Expedition, at all events, will be given up. The Paris Papers of Sunday,' which arrived 'this I forenoon, furnish nothing new which can be relied on respecting Spain. There had, in fact, been no new arrivals from that quarter. A Letter from Madrid, received by the last-Couriercis given in the Constitutionnel, which asserts that M. Euo, Captain- General of the Kingdom of Valencia, had been re called from his government, in order to supersede General FREYRE in the command of the• forces des tined to subdue the Rebels. We do not think there is much probability in tl.is ondit. The character of FnEvnE stands high in the Spanish' army, and if the Royal cause can prosper under any direction, it must be under his. His tardiness in proceeding against the Rebels may, very possibly, be little to the liking ' of FERDINAND and his Court ; but we, doubt not he has been able to give reasons cogent enough to sa tisfy even a despot's ear, that to hasten the shock is not the surest way to survive it. The Bishop of Cadiz addressed a Pastoral letter to the inhabitants of his diocese on the 9th of Ja nuary, and a tr;nslation of some parts of it, in the, Gazette de France, supplies the lack of more circum stantial news. It is a base lecture on the beauty of passive obedience, is which the authority of the Scriptures is misrepresented to prove the necessity of 1 submitting even to wicked Princes, and the inspired oracles are profanely illustrated by the opinion Of ROUSSEAU, who was pleased to say that a•goo& Christian must necessarily be the most pacific add -most submissive of Citizens. • The French news in the Papers now received is devoid of interest. A third Privy Council was ex pected to sit at the Tuilleries on Sunday, in which they would fix definitively the bases of the new Pro ject of Law upon Elections. Five per Cents. Saturday, 73f. 15c.

Facilities such as never before occurred to any one, not even excepting Lady WORTLEY MONTAGUE, were certainly afforded to the Author of these Letterf, and facili ties, such as it is most probable will not very soon offer to another. It is a perfect Biography of the Court of 'Tripoli ; and, while reading these pages, you are wafted into the midst of it; you make one of the crowd, with flowing robes and turbaned brows, sparkling with jewels ; you recline on conches on marble -floors, sipping coffee, or drinking sherbet; you listen.to the rippling of the fountain which plays in the midst of you ; and seem to inhale their burn ing incense, or the more refreshing perfume of their orange, citron, and jessamine groves.
