The French Papers of Monday bring some addi tional intelligence from Madrid, though not of a later date than what we have already given. The Muni cipality of Spain presented an Address to the KING on the events of the 30th of June, in which they demand that the assassins and rebels shall be punished. " Flow," say they, " cat, we believe that such crimes ate met ely casual? We have long observed a regularly 'organised conspiracy against our dearest liberties— we have seen the evil, but it has not been remedied. —lf such climes ale to go unpunished, there will be neither military discipline nor social order, nor will the life of your MAJESTY be any longer in safety." They then assure him of the confidence they enter tain in the existing Authorities, and the hope that his MAJESTY will take such measures as the critical situ ation in which the capital is placed now demand; and they entreat him not to shut his ear to the voice of the Municipality, if he wishes his own preservation and that of those brave Spaniards who have so often shed their blood for their KING. The French ultra Royal Papers are quite au deses poir at the late events in Madrid. The Qualidienne is quite. feriou.i against FERDINAND for not having had sufficient courage and firmness to avail hitnse:f of the late opportunity of restoring despotism, and calls upon all the Kings of Europe to make a new crusade against liberty, and pour their armies' into Spain for the vurpose of making the imbecile the absolute KING. The Journal des Debuts, how ever, gives such an exposition of the conduct of the KING, as almost proves him the undisguised Chief of the revolt, and must put an end to all confidence in him. It appears that during the insurrection, and while the Guards were in unpunished mutiny, the RING sent an answer to the address of the permanent deputation of the Cortes, in which he demanded —l-1, a guarantee for his own life, which he says is threatened by a republican and anarchical faction ;- 2.317, the advice of the Council of State on the best means of inducing the Guards to return with honour to that duty from which the repeated insults of the Liberals had made them for a moment &pat t; idly, that General RIEGo should be sent to a Court Martial, for having taken the command of the Con stitutional troops; and 4th, that the Council and the permanent deputation of the Cortes should ex plain their views in respect to the dignity of the Crown and the Royal Person. A very moderate proposal truly, and to which it is said the Council of State returned for answer, that they enuld not gua rantee the safety of the KING, when a justly irritated people might attack the Royal residence to purge it from those odious saltFars by whom it was guarded; that the only 4 means or calming the agitation was os punish with the utmost rigour the rebel guards , : that the conduct of General RUGG was entitled t 0 praise, and that his MAJESTY ought not to countenance those accusations against the General which had been pub lished by a Journal sold to the • Hoty Alliance (the Imparcial); that the CoUncil of State knew no other duty but that of defending the Constitution, a duty which all its members sought to discharge. The 'KING is said to have sent a new message, stating that' in consequence of the present state of things, and the repeated outrages on his person and authority, the social contract should be considered as broken, and that he should re-assume all his rights. The Council replied, that the social contract had been violated by his MAJESTY, who possessed no rights but those which the Constitution had given him. It appears that the conspirators had principally re lied on the support of General hiourat.o, whom they expected to tarnish all his former glory by heading a band of rebels to overturn the Constitution, which he had sworn to defend. They sent Deputations to him, inviting that be would join them; but he replied, that he saw is the Guard nothing but mutineers, and ~r that he would remain at his post, at the head of the' • • regiments Of the garrison. The Coastilartionnel has an interesting letter froni Madrid, received by the post, which, however, only comes down to the sth. An enumeration is given of some of the principal measures idopts.d by the I Cortes in their last Sittings; and, among others, that relative to the distribution of commons and waste lands, which will be made gratuitously to the inha bitants of the c,untry, by means of drawing lots. , Every lot is to represent a value sufficient fer the subsistence of afamily composed of five persons ; and the adoption of the general plan for the endowment of the Clergy of all classes, from the Cardinal Arch bishop of Toledo down to the Curei of small villages. " All these measures, (it is said), when carried into execution in the Provinces, Ought to contribute very powerfully to attach the national mass to the new political system which governs Spain, and destroy the prejudices which offered aims to malevolence."— ' Speaking of the conspiracy, the writer observes— "those who were to play the first parts, hesitated at the decisive moment, and conducted themselves with such a degree of cowardice, that they thereby proved themselves unworthy of the direction of great affairs." The following ..re extracts : PARIS, JULY is. Letters from Bayonne, which were received yesterday, state, that the bands of General Quesada no longer exist. .They have been dispersed by the Constitutionalists, and their remains have taken refuge in the mountains. We are ignorant of the fate or Quissada ; it is thought that he has taken, with some of his peo ple, the direction of Gulp:moo, with the intention of embarking to return to France. -" The last accounts from Madrid have realised," adds our Bayonne correspondent. " the apprehensions which we have long entertained, of seeing the national exaspera tion carded to the highest pitch, by the continual insults given' to one ,of the-proudest people in Europe, and by the stratagems continually employed to bring them again under the yoke of the Camarillo and the Inquisition, the remembrance of Which is so odious to every true Spaniard. There ought at length to be a conviction that it is not thus the effervescence of a warlike people can be cooled. The French Revolution was a great example, of which the enemies of the Spanish Revolution ought to profit, and which should suggest to them more reserve." The same letters state, that the troops in Biscay and Navarre, as soon as they were apprised of the counter-revolutionary attempts at Madrid, burst forth into the strongest indignation, and drew up Addresses to the Government - full of drvution and energy.— Constitruion or/. Ten r.m.--We have satisfied ourselves that no accounts have arrived from Madrid subsequent to the Spanish Journals of the Bth. Private letters of the same date say nothing but that Mo ral.° co-operated in the events of the sth, in the evening. The at tempt made to carry off the King from his Palace was not made by the whole of the two battalions from the Prado; more than half remained in reserve at that post; and it is confirmed that a party marched towards Segovia to seize the arsenal. The troop which attempted to carry off the King had not a very experienced Chief, for the Royal Guards distrust their Officers; it was re pulsed by the forces of Ballasterns and Riego, but it retired in good order, and rejoined . its comrades at the Prado. There is a report current that the King had given a false countersign, by the aid of which it was hoped to justify the arrest of about 200 persons suspected of being revolutionists. By the latest news we learn that the Royal Guard at Madrid has not been entirely routed, but that they have withdrawn from the city. It is not known what position they have taken, nor whether they will at tempt any new efforts on the Capital, or that they will proceed toAndalusia, and, joining the regiment of Carabiseers that is in insurrection, communicate with the " Army of the Faith."—Cofistthitionne/. The loss sustained by the loyal but unfortunate Guards is not so considerable, nor has the blood of the Royalists been shed so plentifully as the Con a tutiosucl,'the Courier, and the Pilule, have stated. After having lost 350 men, killed or wounded, the Guards rallied out of Madrid, and the numerous de tachments of Militia sent in pursuit of them did not dare to follow them. It is believed that they will take the route of Andalusia, Where they will find brave auxiliaries in the Guerillas, and in the Royal Carabineers, who have so energetically declared themselves for the legitimate Soveleign against the ' revolutionary . usurpations. It 'is also certain that a great portion of the troops of the line in garrison at Madrid would take no part in the late affair, and that it. would have broken that neutrality if the ope rations of the Royalists had been combined with more unanimity and prudence.—Gazette de France. MADRID, JULY 6. The utmost uncertainty prevails at this time as to the intentions of his Majesty, and of those by whom he is surrounded. The two battalions of Guards and the Officers of the Royal Household have offered to devote themselves to the defence of the Palace, and have proposed to the King to take the opportunity of quitting Madrid with a safe escort, but the un fortunate Prince cannot resolve to follow their advice. '~T - - ~'j~ ' i V. .. ~. . .. "-%M, This forenoon we received a Spanish Mail, but the Papers they bring from Madrid are not of a later date than the 4th instant. They contain various ac counts from the Provinces, but not sufficiently recent to shew what effect the plot in the capital had had on the insurgent bands.—The following are extracts: BARCELONA, JUNE 2.5. From Gerona they write—" The factious swarm in this neighbourhood, and commit the greatest ex cesses. It is affirmed that their number amounts to 2,000, and that they have already some horses. The people, eAhausted by the bad harvests, and without hopes of recovering themselves, on account of the badness of the present, see their habitations plun dered by a horde of barbarians who take delight in reducing them to misery. Every body complains of the want of measures, and of the apathy of the Go vernment. HEAVEN grant that this may not pro duce irremediable evils, and that the people's minds may not at length be exasperated." On the 20th, a numerous holy of insurgents tra versed the district of Gerona, and seized the arms or the inhabitants: it is thought they were going to join Misas, in Malavilla. Oa the 21st, 2,500 insurgents were at Arbucitis, and S. Martin de Riells. On the same day, a body of them entered Centellas, where they committed various excesses. On the 22d they entered Garriga. The latest accounts from Austria represent the funds es somewhat improving. The following are the prices quoted : VItNNA, Jun. 4.—Metalliques, 79%.—Bark Shares, 7694. — July .I.—Mealliques, 79 11-16. Bank Shares, 7174-5. At a late hour this forenot n we received the Ham burgh Papers of the 12th inst. The only article of the slightest interest is the price of the Funds. lIAMISMOH.—Exchange on London 57. li.-37.

Accounts from Holland this morning state, that the Ditch Government has intimated to the Colombian Republic, that tl e moment any European Power acknowledges them, they will be the first Power to follow the example; and in the mean time, the Colombian flag will be received in Holland. The accounts also state, that M. ZEA is daily expected there. It is 'reported on 'Change this tnotning, that the two columns of Trench troops which are said to have entered Spain, were to receive the King, FERDINAND, if the plot of the Guards had suc ceeded ; but that on hearing of the defeat of the conspiracy, they recrossed the frontier. Accounts received this morning from the Coast of Africa mention, that the Slave Trade continued unabated, notwithstand ing the vigilance and activity of the British cruisers, under the command of Sir Remiss Mesita. Several vessels had, however, been captured by them. It will be seen, from the proceedings in Parliament last night, that Mr. HOPE and Mr. NlEsztlas were brought before the House of Commons, and that, after they had acknowledged themselves the authors of two letters which were decided to be breaches of privilege,they were discharged, the House not chusing to proceed any further. We are no great advocates for the assumed privi leges of Parliament, and shall be careful not to vio late them by any remark on the apparent severity with which they are sometimes maintained, or the facility with which they are at other times relaxed. The leniency of the House of Commons in the pre sent instance will, we trust, not Le without its advan tages, and, as Parliament do not chuse to go further in the business, it is to be hoped that we shall hear no more of it out of doors; but that instead of writing libels, fighting duels, and violating the privileges of Parliament, the Law Officers, Advocates, and lite rary Hotspurs of the North will return to more peace ful, and certainly less dangerous avocations ! A Petition was presented by Mr. BROUGHAM, from Mr. LAWLESS, of Belfast (the Proprietor of The Irish man Newspaper), complaining of the Orange Pro cessions in Dublin, and other places in Ireland, on the 12th of July. Both sides of the House concurred in reprobating these Processions, and some disappoint ment was expressed that the LORD LIEUTENANT had not made use of his authority to put them. down. JULY B.—Though the two battalions of the Guards submitted on the terms proposed to them, yet the Guards of the Prado could not bear the humiliation of surrendering at discretion. Their frightful situa tion has given to these unfortunate men the courage of despair; they have rallie4, forced a passage, and have traversed the Mancanarez. The cavalry pursued them to the village of toudilla, where they had killed and wounded two hundred men ; they had lost nearly the same number in the streets of Madrid. The Revolutionists, it is said, suffered considerable loss. The number of Guards who have escaped is about SOO, not including the two battalions that capitulated. At the moment that the Guards were dispersed, the King and the Royal Family were in the utmost dan ger. Fortunately, Colonel O'Doyle hastened the first to the palace, with the regiment of Dun Carlos, which he commanded, and thus prevented great misfortunes. All is tranquil. This morning the Bishop of Ma drid performed Mass on the balcony of the Great Yesterday, the Duke of YORK and the Princesses AUGUSTA andSUPHIA visited the KING. The Earl of lavEnPooL, the Marquis of LONDON. DERRY, and Count MUNSTER, had audiences of his • MAJESTY, yesterday. Born the Prizes of £2OOO Sold in Shares by J. and J.

There wa; to have been a Committee " Acre stairs" yesterday on the Highgate Chapel Bill_ namely, the Bill that is to warrant the erection of :I Chapel of Ease for Highgate out of the funds (now amounting to, nearly 1.3,000 a-year) of Sir R.

At twelve o'clock . Mr. BING was there, and thee Mr. WIIMiIItIAD on his r g .t hand : they both ardent supporters of the Bill. Mr BING took the chair—that is, the seat set ar - t for the Chairman, without, however, having been voted to it, and he retained it, for two hours, thouo there was no Committee. It required that there should be pr e sent eight Members of the Home, cr Metropolitan Districts; there was not such number, although there were several Members present who re present different parts of the County.
