SPAIN. MADRID, MARCH 14. Erma ov THE ORDINARY CORTES OF THE ISTO. A Report was read from the_Secretery of State, in Which his Excellency communicated 'Oa the •Cortes, that his Majesty continued confined to his bed, that his andes were swelled, and that the health of the . Queen was ameliorated. The Special Commission charged with .the exami nation of the exposition of the permanent deputation of the Cortes, made on the 2d instant, presented their report, in which they manifested their approbation of the efforts which had been made, in unison with the confidence of the Congress, under the critical circum stances in which Spain is placed. The Cortes approve of the opinion of the said de putation, that all the liquidated sums belonging to the public treasury be transported to Seville, and that the National Junta be charged to continue the liqui dation of what is due to the Government, and to re mit the sums to Seville. The PRESIDENT afterwards announced the conti• nuation of the discussion of the proposition of M. Galiano, on the most expedient measures to be adopted for transferring the seat of Govertuneet to Seville, also of the person of the King and legislative corps, and the necessary recautions,.consistent with the pre carious state of health of the Royal Person, together with everything which concerns the important task of preserving, intact, the Constitutional Monarchy. The Report was then read as follows: " The Commission, though pressed by the short interval of time which was granted them to examine an object of so great importance,.flatter themielves that they have foreseen the diffieulties which it presents, and are of opinion that they have decided upon the best possible means of surmounting them. " The Cortes, after having taken into consideration. the dangers of the country, decided upon anthotiaing the Government to transport itself into the interior of the Peninsula, in case of foreign invasion; this inva sion having become probable, the Cortes manifested their opinion on the necessity of the contemplated translation, and the urgency with which it ought to take place. The Cortes, after having heard the King's decision, expressed in the Speech at the opening of the present Session, which recognized this measure as expedient, knew, finally, that his Majesty had fixed his departure to take place with as little delay as possible, and they consequently thought that there remained nothing further to do than tranquilly to await the moment fixed by the Government for the execution of the projected removal. What, then, was their surprise, on seeing in the letter of the Secretary of State, of Gi ace and Justice, dated yesterday, that the majority of the council of physicians, doubtless convoked by the King in his private capacity, were ct opinion that the state of his Majesty's health would not permit him to undertake the journey, and that lie had been ordered to communicate this cir cumstance to the Congress. " The Commission which was nominated in conse qnence of this communication, participates in the sentiments of the Cortes on this subject, that is to say, their regrets respecting the unsatisfactory state of the King's health, their fears of the sad results of such an event, and the desire of averring them, and at the same time to afford the King all the attention mhich his state requires; they also partake the con eiction, that the translation in question is.indispensa ble, and becomes momentarily more urgent. Such are the opinions of the Commission, and the motives which have guided them in deciding upon the present report, the adoption of which they recommend to the consicieratiun of the Congress. " by a happy chance, of nine Members of which the Commission is composed, six are physicians, and consequently possess the medical talents necessary to their profession, and are animated with the desires common tc*ll the Deputies ; these could, therefore, consider the question under every point of view, and give decided opinions upon it ; to come to which, however, they were bound to suffer themselves to be guided rather by political than medical considera tions ; they wished themselves to examine the physi cians, who composed the Council of his Majesty, the, majority of whom appeared hostile to the project of .translation; they have weighed their motives by put ting them in the balance with those of the public in terest, .and of his Majesty himself—interests which cemmaud the departure in question. " Ou examining attentively the exposition of the physicians, - it is observed that they all concur in say ing that the King is suffering under a paroxysm of tlte gout, which, according to them, lasts three months, and that the malady is now in its last stage, that is to may, bordering on convalescence. They remark, at the same time, that net one of them would venture to answer for the consequence of the voyage under the present state of the King—a very natural ; but which in no respect proves the firm belief of danger, naturally supposing that every precaution will be adopted until the re-establishment of his health. -" The physicians, however, do not agree'upon one question, namely, whether the journey would be ad vantageous to his Majesty; but as, in so problema tical a matter, it was not easy to hazard a positive judgment, the Commission asked them whether they .thought that the motion of the carriage might ag gravate his Majesty's illness? the two Doctors, Don Juan d'Arejuela, and Dan Eugenio Arrieta, replied ne gatively, and the other five gfirmatively. It is proper here to remark that two of the latter are merely sur geons, and their opinions, consequently, ought not to have much weight in the affair. " After other questions had been put by the Mem bers of the Commission, and answers had been given • by the said physicians, the Commission were enabled to decide that the King, though indisposed, is not in a state which disables him from taking his usual nourishment or enjoying sleep. " The Commission, who know that the gout is a • disorder which attacks particularly robust men ac .. icsarianied to enjoy'all the conveniences of life—know also, by tbeivstimony ofseeeral classic authors, that - sobriety,• abstinence, and exercise, are the necessary • Mean:l'4)om cure, •sicut considering that the malady • olase King is drawing to ks close, that the removal to a milder climate, at a favourable period, and the cessation of the state of uncertainty which, by in- , cre a s ing, will be more hurtful than advantageous to his health, is of opinion that it is not impossible for the King to set out, by bestowing upon him all ne-, ceviary attention for the convenience of his Royal Pelson, and that it is not credible that a journey tk • . ..% undertaktin under such ittspeelle s , impraiticabie or li:this to ..fatai collmiquentu—r4o, in fact, history furnishes us with fsequeat examples of Geaerals and Kings; who, though"suffering under the.gout, have made long joornsys, fought battles, and discharged hard and pkinful duties,. • " The Commission would not, Certainly, propose that the respectable person of the King should be submitted to . the slightest inconvenience, if they did not think it of the highest importance. The real and grave dangers of his Majesty and the country oblige them' to choose the least of two evils. 14 In fact, the danger which menaces the King and the State is, that the enemy's troops, in approaching the capital, would produce misery and trouble, and then it would not be certain that the King, ill; would have time to fly in haste, deprived of all the necessary comforts, and being exposed at every step, which would naturally increase his physical sufferings, and affect his moral situation. Good and loyal Spaniards who love their King and country, would tremble at the idea of seeing their Sovereign abandoned to his fate at a terrible crisis, when all the elements of evil would be let loose by the enemies of the country. " Such are the powerful reasons which, in the opi nion of the Commission counterbalance the reasons of the professional men, and render the departure of the King indispensable. If his Royal Person should suf fer from them, it would be a very afflicting thing for the Commission, the Cortes, and the Nation; but it would perhaps be more prejudicial to all and to the dignity of his Majesty, that the journey should be still deferred, since the safety of the King and the country depend upon the journey. " The Commission think they ought to declare with frankness to the Cortes, that founded upon mo tives already developed, and after having heard the Ministers, that the departure of the King was never more necessary than at the present moment. The horrible plots contrived to oppose it, would be suffi cient to convince the Commission of the necessity of the measure, if they had any doubts. Let the Cortes uhibit a great character; let them place themselves if necessary, above certain considerations displaced at the present moment, however respectable they might be .at other times—let them cast Limit eyes upon the country which deserves all their affection, and let them deign to approve of the following proposal which the Commission have the honour to submit : " That a Deputation be sent ix) the King, to an nounce to his Majesty that the Cortes hope he will deign to set off before the 18th instant, and fix, be tween the present and that epoch, the precise day and hour he shall deem it proper to select for the purpose of setting out on his journey, and inform the Cortes, who will remain in permanent sitting, until his Ma-, jesty's answer be known, to act afterwards in con. sequence." By appeal nominal, the advice of the Commission WAS adopted by a majority of 10-1. against 33. A Deputation was immediately sent to the King. The Deputation sent to the King retuseied, and announced that the King was ready to set off, and had fixed his departure for the 17th instant. His Majesty, however, manifested his desire to delay the journey to the 20th, if the Cortex did not see any in convenience in the delay. After a slight discussion, the Cortes complied with the delay wished for by his Majesty. PARLIAMENTARY PROCESDI.VG& HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH td.

' A Message from the Lords announced their amain to several Isulgic and ?drat, DM CAP 0111110ON.' Mr. HUME rose to present a Petition' from the inhabitants of the town of Sydney, is the island of Cape Breton, which he considered to be of great im portance. In 1783 this colony, among many others, was ceded to this country. It was a part of our co lonial policy, that when colonies were conquered or acquired, the King should have the power of direct ing the manner in which they should be governed; but Lord Mansfield, who had stretched the Royal prerogative as far as any man with regard to colo nies, had stated, that when that power hadonce been given up it ceased to eaist. After the cession of the islands, some Of them received, by proclamation, a form of Government and Houses of Assembly; by which all laws were to be made. In Grenada, the freeholders were immediately assembled, and the others proceeded to form their Assemblies as circum stances permitted. At Cape Breton the islanders al most all quitted the colony, and there were not free. holders enough to act. In 1783, when Governor Parr received instructions from the King, he was prohi bited from introducing ant laws but those of Eng land; and it was distinctly stated that the act of the General Assembly of No►a Scotia should :have no force in that settlement. After this, encouraged by the prospect of living under English laws, the #opu,- lation of Cape Breton had increased to 20,00° per j tons. Yet notwithstanding the. Proclarnatica of the , • 'King, . an 4 the state in whidi the colony 'had re attained down to 1820,, in wits then made a count of Nova Scotia, by a Pfoclamation of the Governor- General, Sir James Kemp. Upon the authority of Lord Mansfield, he contended that this was an usurpation of the power of Parliament. The Honour- , able Member proceeded to argue that reat griev ances had arisen to the inhabitants of Cape Breton from the change of their laws and condition. With regard to the right tf property, there was a complete' anomaly in their situation. By their old laws they in herited property by right of primogeniture; whereas in Nova Scotia property descended as in France.— The Petitioners prayed to be relieved from these griev-1 ances, either by a return to their old Government, or by being allowed to remove, with a compensation for loss of property, to the United States, where they I could live under certain and fixed laws. It was im-1 possible to say that rights And laws could be thus overthrown by the fiat of the King in Council. He trusted that such a principle never had been, and never would be recognised in that House. There was an impost paid by the merchants of Nova Scotia, of two and a half per cent. from which the inhabitants of Cape Breton were specifically exempted. What then mast have been their surprise when they found them selves united to Nova Scotia, and liable to this duty by the simple fiat of the King ? Not only was this duty imposed on them, but it was increased to three and a half per centl The proclamation of the King in 1820, contained one point to which he would pm ticularly call the attention of the House.—lt stated what was false, and what was inconsistent with the original Proclamation, when the island was first co lonized: namely—that the island of Cape Breton was to be re-annexed to the Government of Nova Scotia. It was impossible that it should be re-annexed, because it had- never been annexed. The Go vernment might as soon think of re-annexing the islands of Dominica or Bermuda. By the late union, the circulation of a forced paper currency had extended to the Petitioners from Nova Scotia ; and the consequence was, that the island was so drained of its bullion that they had scarcely money enough to pay for necessary articles. The Hon. Member then recapitulated.the prayer and complaints of the Peti tioners, and said he thought it impossible for such a statement to be answered. He felt that he had not treated the subject in the way which its importance demanded ; but he hoped the Haase would consider with the greatest attention the case of so large a por tion of the community appearing at their bar, as the Petitioners now did.—The Petition having been read, Mr.WILMOT observed that if, as the Honourable Member had stated, this Petition involved a great constitutional question, he had selected a most in convenient time for its discussion, as it would have been better to have given notice of a specific motion than •to have entered into it at the length that was now done in presenting the Petition. He (Mr-Wil mot) thought, however, that he should be able to convince the Honourable Mover that he had com pletely misunderstood the case, and that the union of the two colonies was in no way unconstitutional. He might previously observe, that when the Honourable Gentleman said the Petition was numerously signed, he was mistaken. The petitioners were 250 out of a population which the Honourable Gentleman - himself had stated at 20,000. Before the preserit time not a single remonstrance had been sent from the-colony to the Colonial Department, though the anion took place in 1820; and if the authority of a Governor might be taken in opposition to the petitioneri, it seal said on ' that authority that the colonists found the union be neficial rather than not beneficial. The petition tee,l was said to have been got up in a manner which added nothing to its weight. The Gentleman who had attempted to get a petition signed, bad not been able to obtain any signatures, and he had at last only obtained authorities to affix signatures in these words --( 1 I authorise Mr. Gibbons to sign my name to a petition against the union of this island with Nova Scotia." He understood that the petition had not been drawn up in the colony in its present shape, but that the signatures had been affixed to it in conse quence of the authority he had mentioned. As to the constitutional question, the Hon. Gentleman had totally mistaken the Proclamation of 1763. That Proclamation divided the colonies which had been ceded by Fraoce t and which did not then possess Le gislatures, into four separate Governments—Quebec, East Florida, West Florida, and Grenada. In neither of these Governments would the Honourable Gentle man contend that Cape Breton was included. The Proclamation then proceeded, " We have thought fit to annex the hlands of' Cape Breton, &c. to our Go vernment 'of Nova Scotia.' Nova Scotia, it was to be observed, then possessed a Constitution, so that it was impossible that the promise of separate Legis latures, - which was held out to the four Governments of Quebec, East a ndWest Florida, and Grenada, could apply to cope Breton, which was by that very same Proclamation annexed to another Government. What proved that the Proclamation in question intended to annex Cape Breton to Nova Scotia was, that in the year. 1766 two Members were returned from Cape Breton to sit in the Assembly of Nova Scotia, though, because there were few or no freeholders in Cape Breton at that time, the election was declared infor mal. An Act of the Legislature also passed in the year 1766, for the better recovery of hit Majesty's dues in Cape Breton, which, reciting the union of that colony with Nova Scotia, declared that the dues should be I payable there as in the rest of the ptovinceof Nova Scp tia. No doubt, from the year 1784 a change had taken place ; and in consequence of the small number of in habitants in the colony, the Governor was allowed to make regulations for the Government. But the in structions to a Governor were not to be allowed to overlay the constitutional right of the colony to a share in the representation -of Malta Scotia. The measure ta:;:en in 1820 was, therefore, rather a re storation of a right. Since fiat time, lia people of Cape Breton had sent Representatives to Nova Scotia; `and in the case of one of thine Representatives, a CH tholic, whh was a favourite of the people of Cape Breton, the Test Oathi were altered, to enable him to take his seat. The people of Cape Breton had de rived various advantages from the union—as for ex ample, the' redaction of the tax on coals; and if some individuals were displeased with it, there vas not the least evidence, Measure being generally dissa ttsfaot ory. Be .sat down, Mr. Wilmot begged 0 / to allude at) a s ject it no way connected with the present subject of discussion—he meant a misrepre .sentatioa R . what had fallen from hlm last night, in *hat an Ron. ' 4 His: u*lcal Fragniatter (the Reports of Debates). le these he (Mt. Wilmot) teat represented to have said, , in speaking of the disarming of the lonian Islamic; '"r hen could not-surely justify the policy of leaving arms in the hands of a hostile population." He had never used such language; nor would he have mad• use of an expres s ion so irreconcileable with- his reaf. sentiments. The Hon. Membere(Mr. Hume) shone his head, as if he were sceptical as to the accuratr of his memory; bat surely the Hon. Member, what. ever opinion he might have of his wantof skill in ant. guing, would hardly suppose, that when the very purpose of his argument was to prove that the pa isolation was not hostile, he should declare in it many words that they were hostile. He certainle never did use the words " hostile population" in an, such sense as that attributed to him; Mr. BERNAL strongly urged the claims of the Petitioners to the attention of the House. Cape Bre: ton was settled entirely by English, the French civ4 inhabitants having s been all removed when the colony was taken in 17.58—a fact alluded to by Lord Mans. field in the famous Grenada case. It could not be contended, upon the Proclamation of 1763, that Cape Breton was put on a different footing from the other ceded colonies, and it would be quite as legal to de. prive Grenada of its separate Assembly as to unite Cape Breton to Neva Scotia. It was evident from the instructions to Sir J. Craig, in 1807. that there were to be three separate Councils and Legislatures for NOVA Scotia, Prince Edward's Island, and Cape. Breton, respectively; and, in 1784, the promise was distinctly held out of a separate Legi,,ative Assembly. The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Wilmot) said, they had no grievances to complain of. Was it no grievance for the People of Cape Breton to be taxed for the dea of Nova Scotia, or that their metallic currency was withdrawn, and that they were inundated with de. pieciared paper currency ? Was it no grievance that the laws of inheritance were altered ? He had heard, too, that the colonists had sent a communication to this country some time back, and that they wished to know how they could move the question in a Court of Law ? If they had not made any communioatioa to the Colonial Office, it was probably because they thought representations in that quarter would not be of much use, but they had now done their dtityto their own interests by appealing to the British Govern ment for protection. Mr. BRIGHT said, this was a question which in. volved the interest of all the colonies. The treatment of Cape Breton was one of extreme injustice—that colony was important from its situation—it was one of the fortresses of England—it commanded the en trance of the Great - St. Lawrence and the Fishery of ' Newfoundland, and it was an obvious matter of pia ' !icy to see that the inhabitants were attached to Great Britain by justice and by kindness. The rights of the colonies should be protected, whether they were founded on the metaphysics of the English law, or on long usage. On the motion that the Petition do lie on the table, Mr. HUME, in reply to Mr. Wilmot, observed, k that he had given notice that he intended to present the Petition as long ago as the 19th. The individual who acted as agent for the colony-was twleave Lon don to-morrow; and as he had been disappointed of . the Hon. Member who had intended to present the Petition, he had begged him (Mr. Hume) to bring k forward; which he. had consented to do, though is was sorry it had not fallen into better hands. The Hon. Mertiber for Xnaresborough, he understuod felt the question very strongly, and"wOuld, he hoped, take up the question. The Hon. Member then d.. fended the colonists from the charge of delay in find ing out that they were aggrieved, which had beea made by the Right Hon. Gentleman. A Meeting had taken place of the inhabitants at Sydney, in the month of April, which, considering the rigour of the winter in those climates, would not be thought light, to consider the Act for uniting Cape Breton to Nova Scotia, and after deliberations they had appointed a Committee to employ an agent in London, to aster tain what legal measure could be had recourse m An agent had been appointed, who had however neglected the business, and in fact lost the papers is. , trusted to him. This was only known to the cold nists in June, 1822, and then a Gentleman had been sent overhere to ascertain what could be done at the Colonial Office ; and, he had been informed, that his Majesty's Government would do nothing in the mat- ter. The Hon. Member concluded by saying, he re garded this as a very important olluestion, and he hoped that all the colonies would make common cause to support it. He would not distinctly pledge himself to bring forward any motion on the lulled, . but perhaps he might move for papers, with a - Vieer hereafter to such a motion.—The Petition *as thee ordered to be printed. THE ERITISH GOVERNMINT AND . ?Ilk POINDONSOF FRANCS. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that as he had the pleasure of seeing the Right Honourable Secretary d State for Foreign Affairs once more in his place, he should tike the opportunity of putting a question him, to which he thought that be was entitled too. ceive an answer. At the time when the madness of cattalo Powers was going to plunge a coin part of Europe into a nefarious and unjustifsebir which might extend far beyond the intentions those who were most eager to commence sidered it to be right that both Parlianwut country should deafly understand the refs' tion in which England stood with regard Powers. He therefore begged leave to ask , Honourable Gentleman opposite, whether thaw any stipulation in any treaty to which t" was a party, by which it was bound, either or indirectly, to guarantee the Crown of ' Louis XVIII. or any of his successortnif Family ?—(Hear, hear).
