Those would grossly deceive Ferdi. nand who should advise him to object to swearing to the Constitution,. (composed of the ancient laws of Spain) which is the firmest basis of his own throne, and of the future prosperity of the nation. A Con stitution revered by all true Spaniards, even those who speak against it, for . they also perceive its ad vantages, but personal interest makes them oppose it. The Constitution was not made in a hurry, but solemnly sworn to by all the people with good faith, and a conviction of its advantages, both to the people and to the King. Those would deceive Ferdinand who attempt to persuade him that the Spaniards will recede from the steps they have taken; or that it is an ill-founded maxim which says—" the people is the true support of the throne." The Capital expects from Ferdinand the happiness both of Spain and of the ultra-marine Provinces : Ferdinand, the Constitutional King of Spain, these words are better than an army, to restc.re peace in the new world. But if Ferdinand should be deceived by flat terers—What can we hope from the Americans ? This doubt occasions great evils in the two worlds. Who causes them ?—Not Ferdinand. We know the purity of his heart—the rectitude of his intentions ; but he is a man, and may be deceived. Another article observes, that it would be the height of ignominy, if in a nation which has been a model for Europe, and shewn such firmness in this terrible conflict, four individuals should be able to say to millions of Spaniards, sic vet, non vobir, &c. DUTCH P4l PERS. The following is the result of the deliberations of the Diet at Idswold, upon our Constitution, up to the 19th of this month.: " Norway shall be an hereditary limited monarchy; the kingdom free and indivisible ; the Regent King. ‘ 4 The Lutheran is the established religion of the State, but the professors of every other religion pre serve their liberty and privileges. The King has the right of making War and peace, and the right of pardoning. " The people exercises, by its representatives, the legislative authority, and the right of levying the taxes. " The judickd power is always to remain distinct from the other branches of government. " Henceforward no hereditary privileges shall be allowed, either to persons or corporations. " Industry and civil occupations shall not be sub jected to any new restriction. " The pre s s shall be free from all restraints," We soon eip:ct the plan of the whole Constitution, drawn up according to these basis. - .. -6 ' - es 1!

A number of persons dressed in mil►tary habits went through the streets, begging and striving to excite the pity of the passengers by lying tales. The General of Division commanding the French troops in Pari • has therefore advised the inhabitants not to d►vert their benevolence from the truly unfortunate, to assist those wretches, whose im posture is so much the more culpable, a 4 Government has taken care that the allowances shall be distiihu ted with the most scrupulous exactness, at the diffe- , rent Barracks and Hospitals, to those who ale entitled to them. On the 28th of April, at half past four in the mar, ning, there were felt at Inspruck two strong shocks of an earthquake. The motion was in a direction from east to west. Several houses ;n the town were damaged. A decree of the 9th of M.ty directs, that the seventy one chests of papers from the Diplomatic Archives of Holland, and deposited in the Archives of the Mini ster for the Foreign Offices of F.-ance, shall be re stored to the Dutch Government. A decree of the 9th of May directs, that there shall be restored to the ten first Spanish families, the ob jects of art, and other property, which were sequeste red by the former French Government, in c.ntormity with the decree of the 12th November, 1808. The Duchy of Parma, with its dependencies, given to Princes Maria Louisa, and her son, Prince Napo leon Chat les Francis, contains about 3b0,000 inhdbi. tants. The revenues are estimated at four tuillions of francs. By an ordinance of the King, dated on the .sth of May, 114 Majesty says—. Is We hoe had presented to us in a Council of State, the Conventions between France and the Al lied Powers on the 23d April last, and ratified on the 25th by our dear Brother, Monsieur, Son of FrAncet in ourabsercc; have t-b seen,e ne r a it was the intention of the High Powers, as the y a:i 'tanideuwteneanisv(itfhtiltheel"..g.rengajte°smt satisfact ion, clearly expressed, to give to France as soon as pos. sible the enjoyment of the blessings of peace, even be. fore all the provisions of it had been stipulated. We have fixed our particular attention upon the Bth sir tide of the Convention , in "Aid% the All ied Powers, in consequence of their friendship for France, ezpre.. their wish to put an end to military requisitions from the moment these Provinces shetild be delivered over to the legitimate power. It is not therefore witheni astonishment that we have learnt, that, though the royal authority be now the only one recognised in France, and subsequent to the delay necessary for the ratification of the Convemion. of the 23d Avri i . the Commanders or Intendants of the At mies of Car. Allied Powers, have continued to require war CO!.: tributions, or to exercise very extensive requisitions . that even in some Provinces they have proceeded to anticipated adjudications of wood, and sales of move. ables belonging to the State. We have the happy assurance that such measures are contrary to the in tentions of the Sovereigns assembled in our Capital, and that they wish to terminate with generosity a war undertaken not against France, but for the safety of Europe. We have thought, therefore, that we owe it to the Allied Powers themselves to maintain by our authority the execution of the Conventions of the 23d April, and to prevent any of our subjects from taking part in measures which would be violations of the Conventions. We, therefore, decree as follows ; [The decree orders the foreign troops to be supplied with necessaries, but the orders are to be given by the King ; and no orders ate to be obeyed which shall proceed from the Commanders or Intendants of the Allied Powers].
