Yesterday, after the death of Vanuesa, the persons composing the troop who had perpetrated it, sepa rated; and it was not till the evening that some groups, more or less numerous, were observed at the Puerta del Sol, and the neighbourhood. At night many people met in La Fontana, and several orators delivered discourses of ♦arious tendency. Captain Nunez deprecated the event of the preceding even- 1 ing, and painted in lively colours the fatal conse quences of relating the bonds of society. Citizen Naccrohoni had before spoken to the same effect. A Valencian Clergyman insisted on the necessity of pro scribing some dozens of persons; which was seconded by N. Adam, belonging to the office of the Secretary of Finance. The drawing up of the list of proscription being agreed to, several persons began to add to it, placing upon it several Counsellors of State. Among the number were two Captains-General of the Army, four or five Lieutenant-Generals, as many Officers of the Supreme Court of Justice, the Secretary of the Finance-office, and many other persons ; and lastly, Don Javier de Burgos, editor of the Miscellanea ! and Don Sebastian Milian., co-editor of the censor. The editor of the Miscellanea being informed of this, and conscious of the purity of his intentions, as proved by 4 2,000 pages of his journal, in which there is not a line but what is eminently liberal, recol lected Athens and Aristides, and desired a copy of the list, intending to publish it to-day : but the late. n :ss of the hour prevented him from obtaining it. The list being drawn up, fifty or sixty left La Fon tana with it, at about eleven o'clock at night, pro ceeding to the Municipality. Being challenged by the guard, and answering " the sovereign people," they entered to . present their paper. It was full of erasures and interlineations, as is natural, since on such occasions there are persons who wish names to be inserted or erased. The Municipality thought the list was not regular, since besides being presented in so dirty a condition, it was not signed and accom panied by any representation. They, therefore, re commended to the bearers to conform to these for malities, and meantime to take some rest; which they did. We are glad we did not obtain the list, for it has undergone a hundred alterations to-day ; and in the last copies we have seen, the name of the Minis ter of Finance is omitted, as well as those of several other persons which were in the original. * * * In the evening, the Judge of the First Instance, Don Julian Sojo, went to the prison, and instituted in-1 quiries to discover the authors of the event. After- 1 wards the body was examined; and this morning, at , one o'clock, it was carried to the cemetery out of the Toledo gate, accompanied by the same Judge, his Clerk, and other attendants, and eighty soldiers, both horse and foot. Yesterday, a notice was published by the Political Chief, which we abstain from inserting, because it exhorts to a tranquillity which was not maintained, and because, being issued before the catastrophe of Vanuesa, it would be beside the purpose. To-day the Municipality has published an Address to the Citizens, enforcing obedience and respect to the law as the only means of maintaining social order. CORTES.-+-SITTING OF NIAY 5. The MINISTER of Watt communicates an Official Report from Major-Gen. I . Empecinado, of an action with one of the Guerillas of Merino, who retreated by favour of the night, leaving fifty prisoners, most of them mortally wounded, in the hands of the Consti tutional troops. The Mt t 4 iSTER for the government of the COLONIES gave a succinct account of the murder of Vanueskby the populace of the capital. His Excellency then declared that he had a mes. 'sage from his Majesty on the subject. His Majesty expresses hi, lively scrrow at the news of this horrible event. He observes, that if it is not punished in an exemplary manner, and above all, if it is repeated, it will be impossible to establish the constitutional system. Foreign Powers will form a very unfavourable idea of the situation cf Spain, and of the political institutions it has adopted. Expresses have been sent to other cities of Spain to pi event tranquillity from being interrupted there. The king also said in his message, that he had conversed with the troops which composed the guard of his Palace, and was perfectly satisfied with the disposition they evinced.—The Minister adds, that the Government has invited the Authorities to provide against the re currence of such events. M. A RN EDO says it was notorious, even in the morn ing, that the unfortunate Vanuesa was to be mur dered in his prison. lle asks how it is possible that the Ministry should have taken no measures to pre vent such an atrocious crime? He moves that a rigor ous inquiry be instituted. The PRESIDENT (M. Cuesta) wishes the Assembly to decide that there were grounds to impeach the Mi nisters.—The Minister of Colonies pretends that his colleagues and himself did not: think the danger so great : if they had, he assures the Assembly, they would have endeavoured to avert it. The Count de TORRENO spoke vehemently against . the Ministers. He observes, that it is not at Madrid alone, but in the whole kingdom, that the people ar rogate to themselves the right of exercising justice, or rather of drawing up lists of proscription. He asks if it is credible, as the Minister present affirms, that' the Ministry was ignorant of the plot of the factious, when there was not a single Deputy who had not cer tain information on the subject. The Minister of War invites the Assembly to be ware of calumniating the sentiments of the heroic people of Madrid. Count TORRENO proposes that a Special Commit tee shall be appointed to draw up an Answer to his Majesty's Message. • The Committee was named immediately. M. RAMOS A RISPE said the Spanish people did not wish for victories, but for justice. He accused of the murder of Vannes* the Judge Arias, who had told the people that this man deserved death, and then sentenced him to a less rigorous punishment. '4141E EVEN LNG S'l'A R. f SITTING OF THE 6TH OF MAY. The Committee brought up the outline of the An swer to the king. It is in substance as follows: " The Cortes have learned with much grief the crime which has just taken place; but the Government is invested with the power and the means necessary to provide for good order. " The Cones are confined by inviolable limits to the facul ties of a Legislative Body, and can only set the example of re spect to the laws. " The diplomatic relations which your Majesty maintains with other Powers, allow us to believe that a single fact will not suffice to give them an unfavourable opinion of our new Institutions." General QUIROGA asked why so much bustle was made about the murder of a priest, when the indivi duals who assassinated two constitutional soldiers of the regiment of Seville, so far from being punished, have not even been discovered. M. Quiroga declared that the King is surrounded by perfidious Counsellors, who conceal the truth from him. Count TOR R ENO remarked several important omis sions in the Answer proposed, which, for instance, passes over in profound silence the scenes of disorder which have filled all the great cities of the Peninsula with terror. M. GOLFIN made a vehement sortie against the Ministei s. He accused them of having counselled the King not to shew himself to the People, and with having suggested to him the antipatriotic idea of haranguing the troops, to animate them to defend his person. The Honourable Member then moved, " That a new Committee be appointed to draw up another Ad_ dress, which may make the King acquainted with the real causes of the event in question, and of all the evils whichaffect the &ate.' The new Committee was named. We have received the Madrid Paper called El Unimrsel, which, in addition to the above intelligence, contains the correspondence of General Morillo, on his being appointed Captain-General of New Castile. A letter from the General to the Minister at War, dated the 4th instant, states, that he had on the preceding night, at twelve o'clock, received the King's order to, take upon himself the command of the Army and Province of New Castile. He earnestly begs that he may be permitted to decline this high office, for the duties of which he considers himself unfit. Among other reasons, he urges the necessity of the Captain- General being acquainted with the country and the people in which his command is established, and ob serves, that besides having come from abroad, he had never before resided in Madrid. The Minister re plies, on the following day, that he had communi cated his letter to the King, but that his Majesty would not admit the validity of his reasons for re fusing the command, and insisted on his immediately accepting it. General Morillo wrote again to the Minister, stating that ile would go and take the com mand of the troops, that the service might not suffer by delay, but begging he might be allowed to resign. Having received no reply to this last letter, he went to the Palace, and obtained an audience of the King, to whom he repeated his reasons for wishing to de cline the employment, but his Majesty would not ac cept his resignation. He then published the following ADDRESS: " THZ CATTAIN-OKNERAL, TO THE IBRAVIC GARR/SOX OT MADRID. " SOLDIERS' —After having fulfilled my duty, and supported, as my honour required, the glory of our arms, I returned to my country, expecting to find it tranquil, and enjoying the benefits which the Constitution that has been sworn to holds out; but, unfortunately, some persons are endeavouring to embitter this happiness to us. " There can be no greater misfortune than that enemies of the Constitutional System should present themselves and render their destruction unavoidable. The Constitution, and a Con. stitutioral King, form the only Government suited to the Spa nish Nation. On these bases rest your felicity, that of your dearest relatives and the prosperity of the wh o l e S pan i s h Na tion.--I hoped for repose after my past fatigues; but, contrary to my wish, and notwithstanding my urgent refusal, I am under the necessity of placing myself at your head. The honour of commanding you could alone alleviate so weighty a charge. " Soldiess! lam one of you—put trust in me. I love you, because I have suffered with you. I will constantly direct you io the path of glory, towards the happiness of our beloved coun try. Let our device be the Law and the King (Ley y Rey), and let our rallying cry be ' Long live the Constitution! long live our Constitutional King" (Signed) " Iladrid, May o. " PAULO MORILI.O." LONDON. MONDAY, MAY 21, IS2I. THE rUXDS. The Market opened this morning at 75, which is a rise since Saturday of 1 / 2 per cent. Various arc ►he opinions on the above advance : some anticipate that the Budget will be favourable to the Public. There is also a continuation of a great scarcity of stock (money) in the Market, and money being plentiful, the Capitalists now employ it in the Funds. It is expected a further rise will take place before settling day, which is next Thursday. CURRENT PRICES THIS DAY AT ONE O'er nem : Bank Stock 228 228 ih —3 per Ct.

We have received, since our last, a considerable mass of interesting intelligence from abroad, re_ lacing particularly to the state of affairs in Spain and Turkey. It would give us unfeigned pleasure to discover, in the progress of events in Spain, something to allay the apprehensions which we have before expressed as to the crisis to which the machinations of a hand ful of factious men are driving that unhappy coun try ; but every arrival only brings the tidings of some new accession to the element s of disunion and anarchy. Our Readers will see, by the extracts which we have given from the ?Madrid Papers, that the story in the French journals of the assassination of the ('anon YANUESA having been followed up by a demand, on the part of the rabble, for the proscription of a number of distinguished individuals, is but too true. Nay, the Municipality of Madrid actually received the list of proscription with the greatest respect, as a thing not at all objectionable in principle, and only irregular in point of form, being in a dirty condition and full of erasures and interlineations! We may be told that there was prudence in thus turning aside the wrath of an enfuriated populace; but to what a state of weakness does it not shew the Executive to be reduced when it is obliged to listen in any shape to a proposition which sets all law, order, and justice, at defiance ? The enemies of the Con stitutional system must, in this event, see at last the consummation of their wicked projects. They have contrived by their plots, their fabricated ru mours, their petty insurrections, to produce such an alarm in the minds of the people, as has driven them to excesses for the preservation of their Con stitutional system, which can have no other effect than to endanger most seriously its continuance. —What does the KING himself say to the Cortes in relation to these events ?—" If repeated, it will be impossible to establish the Constitutional system.— Foreign Powers will form a very unfavourable idea of the situation of Spain, and of the Political Insti tutions it has adopted. Expresses have been sent to other cities of Spain, to prevent tranquillity from being interrupted there?" What else does all this mean, than that if things go on as they are doing, foreign Powers will take upon themselves to put all to rights, and that after the old fashion of restoring them to the state in which they were before, under an absolute King, and a still more absolute Priesthood? We ought ever to recollect, in judging of the real source of this growing state of anarchy under the new system in Spain, the extraordinary moderation and good temper which distinguished the first steps of the Revolutionary leaders. It is not, we may rest assured, either with them or with the people gene rally, or with anything necessarily involved in the constitutional system that the evil principle lies, but with a set of men of sinister designs, who are labour. ing, and, we fear, with too fatal success, to furnish a lukewarm Sovereign with a pretext for calling in the aid of a foreign force, or foreign Potentates with an apology for forcing this piece of kindness upon him. The accounts from Turkey are full of the alarm entertained by the Turkish Government with respect to the progress of the Greek insurrection. Were it not for this alarm, the affair would cease to have any importance in our estimation, as there is nothing, in point of fact, to make us think the power of Yesr- LANTI more formidable than we some days ago de scribed it; but the Turks, it must be confessed, ought to know best what cause they have for fear. The following are extracts from the Paris Papers of Thursday, which arrived yesterday ; the substance of the other foreign arrivals will be found under se parate heads: PARIS, MAY 17. A letter from Rome, dated May 4., states, that in I consequence of the arrival of an extrao r di nar y courier from Laybach, Baron Vincent and Count Pozzo di Borgo, appointed Ambassadors Extraordinary to his Sicilian Majesty, have returned to Laybach. According to accounts from Semlin, dated the 221 ultimo, the Pacha of Bosnia had arrived with a corps of 5,000 Turks on the frontiers of Servia, and had demanded a passage and the general disarming of the inhabitants. It is not believed that the Servians will submit to these conditions. French 5 per Cents. 83f. 55c. Bank Actions, 1,560 f. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 10. The Sublime Pulse. is nut s at invo:nt, without :onto degree of inquietude, as appears from the follo w Firman, addressed to Kiaja Bey, dated the 3h t March, 1821 : No one is ignorant of the events which have taken place* the Provinces of Wallachia and hluldav:a, and the et.nsta ti t perfidy of tha Greek nation. We must hope that ilrAvsx scia speedily restore order. It is essential that every Mutsulota should begin to accommodate himself to the eireumsrznces of the moment, wilds impose the necessity of renouncing th e charms of social life, which for a long time have become, as * were, second natur?, to resume a camp life. the pritnitn:e sta te of the nation, and to conform gradually to the manners of e:t ancestors. It is also indispensable that the 11iinisters of the pire, men in office, and clerks, should renounce all disripati,r, arid prepare for this change in manners, by providing thenicelvss with arms, horses, Scc." Te following are the words of the Katy-Sherif oa this subject: " The Infidels, who have witnessed the disorders p t a ct t iQ by the Ministers and men in otice throughout my Empire, and foreseeing that they will experience no resistance on their pa rt , have had the audacity to come to these extremities. Th at o these facts are known to all persons of rank, Ministers and others, throughout my Empire, yet I do not find that they evince tka more zeal on that account. Orders must be issued to all claw, Persons in office must repair to their posts at three o'clock,. This is not the way to dispatch business. All times are net fa t pleasure; and we now experience the fatal consequences of M. lowing the opposite rule. The mutual railleries of certain ess. disposed persons, and the liberty they take of censuring th e tar . duct of each other, have brought about a degree of ceidn ew among the llussubnans. Those who do not alter their enitn e life, who, unmindful of the precept which teaches them to re. Bard every Mussulman as a brother, cannot fail to keep up halm and to discharge their duties in a lingering and negligent w a y. To those who may come to their posts later than the time or dered, who may presume to censure each other, I will add ars no more reproaches, but I will deliver them up to the sword d justice. Let them open their eyes: present circumstances are not to be compared to the past. Religion is in question. Al f imperial intention is to gain the hearts of the true believers, sag to render myself useful to the law of Mahomet. May liters grant vigilance to all ! So be it! " Cupies of the Sovereign Will having been addressed by fi t . man to all, that the facts be communicated to the Ministers, to the Chiefs of the Militia, and to others holding offices of tnist, enjoining every one to renounce pleasure, to procure arms lad horses, and to conform in all things to the llaty-Sherif, and to be careful nut to fail" On the preceding day (March 10) the Us-Effendi had addressed a circular note to the foreign Ministers, in which he informs them that the I'oite had been compelled, by the escape of several of its subjects on board foreign vessels, to avail itself of the rights granted by Treaties, and to cause all the vessels to be searched which may pass the Straits, either to wards the Eusine or towards the ,Egean Sea; that Commissioners have been appointed for this purpose, and that the Ministers are requested to send Com missioners also to Feneraki and the Dardanelles, to assist in these searches, which, however, are not in tended to retard foreign vessels or passengers. We have also received, at a late hour this forenoon, the Paris Papers of Friday. They contain accounts from Madrid a day later in date than those which we have given in another part. The same spirit which un happily reigns at Aladrid is extending itself to the Pro vinces. At Cadiz, and at Algesiras, the people had de manded the exile and imprisonment of several per. sons of distinction, and the Authorities had been forced to yield to these criminal demands. In the battle between the Empecinado and the Curate Me ntxo, two hundred and seventy-five of the cant* tants are said to have remained on the field. Letters from the Levant, received at Paris, announce that the insurrection had taken a very serious charac- ter throughout the whole of the Morea. A great um ber of Turks had been massacred ; the rest had fled. Drench 5 per Cents. Thursday, 83fr. 55c. A Dutch Mail arrived this forenoon. The Ripen brought by it are uninteresting.
