He instanced the case of the Empe cinado: and observed, that when the Secretaries of Dispatch wet e questioned on the subject, they drily observed. that his Majesty had been pleased to exer cise his powers. Here was a striking difference in the conduct of the Government. When any abuse of liberty was to be repressed, no means were neglected; but when it was required to repress the abuses of Power, obstacles presented themselves everywhere. . 1 The SECRETARY of Dispatch repeated, that the Go vernment had not received sufficient information to act upon ; and until they were in possession of the , details, they could not enter upon the question of the removal of the Authorities of Valencia. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which one of the Deputies stated, that five Officers and four teen soldiers had fallen in the conflict with the inha bitants of Pampeluna, and that a number of the latter had also been killed. It was at last decided that the measures proposed in the Report of the Committee should be put to the vote.—The further proceedings were then adjourned. MARCH 24. The consideration of the Report of the Committee was resumed, and the first recommendation, viz. that relative to the expediting of the organization of the National Militia, was, with some amendments and additions, approved. The second measure recommended, namely, the ex pediting the trials for state offences, was next dis cussed. This proposition was agreed to, and the dis cussion of the third was suspend ed.- The fourth was then read in the following terms : " To enforce the responsibility of all persons who have pre vented, nullified, or delayed the execution of the Decrees of the Cortes ' and to provide that those which remain unexecuted b e carried into due effect within the period of eight days." After a discussion of some length, it was decided that there was not ground for voting on this question. Senor CANGA then proposed that the Government should 'be called upon to inform the Cortes in what state the Decrees of the Congress remained with re spect to their fulfilment, and the causes of the delay of their execution. On a division of 67 to .51, it was ordered that Se nor Canga's proposition should be referred to the Committee on the political state of the nation. The fifth measure, relative to the appointments for the Ti ibunals, was, after a discussion of some length, negativei by 68 to 62. The President appointed an extraordinary sitting at eight o'clock for the discussion of the sixth propo sition of the Report cf the Committee. SITTING EXTR AOR DI N A ItY. The sixth proposition of the Report, relative to a message to the King, was read. After a short discussion, it was resolved that there was ground for voting on the proposition, by .55 to 44. Another division took place on the proposition, which was carried by 60 to 47. Some Deputies were about to enter the Hall during the counting, but the President ordered that they should not be admitted until it was over. The same Committee which had proposed the six measures to the Cortes was directed to draw up the Message to the King. MONDAY, MARCH 2.3. The Cortes proceeded to the discussion of the bases presented by the Committee of Finance, as pre liminary to a system of economy. The fifth basis, which is conceived in the following terms, was read, viz. " Though we are without sufficient data for ascertaining the economicat situation of the Peninsula, it appears from those data afforded by the census of products and manufactures, drawn up in the year 1799, and amended by posterior observations and approximate calculations, that the amount which may be drawn from the taxes, fixing with it the limit of the public expenses, cannot exceed 500,000,000 of reals." In the course of the discussion which followed, the Secretary of Finance stated that the Government concurred with the Committee in the necessity of a rigid system of economy. The question " Whether there was ground for voting ?" being put, was carried in the negative, by 80 to 53. EXTRA ORDI NA ItY SITTING. At a quarter past eight in the evening, the Cortes met for the discussion of the last basis of the Commit tee of Finance. Senor FERRER observed, that the Cortes having dis approved the basis which had been discussed in the morning, the Committee withdrew this, as it was only a consequence of that which preceded it. Senor Intim agreed in the necessity of withdraw ing this basis, but thought it necessary to say that the sum necessary to cover the estimates could not be re duced below 500,000,000. TUESDAY, MARC!! 26. A proposition to the following effect was submit. ted by the Deputies of Alava : • Considering the disgraceful and fatal events of Pampeluna, and the apathy of the Authorities, who did not prevent them wst pray the Cortes to Induce the G o vernment to chastise the l ife. mous instigators of those scenes, to dissolve the National Militia of that town, and, if necessary, to make so perverse a people disappear from Spain." The Ministers entered the Hall, and a dispatch, giving an account of the transactions of Pampeluna (similar to that inserted under the head Madrid), was • read. - A letter from an Alcalde stated that the dis turbance was occasioned by some labouring men and peasants, who shouted 66 Viva: for the Russians, the King, and GOD!"

KING CHARLES THE FIRST. As a companion to the verses just given, we may add the following Epigram, which is ascribed to Charles the First, when Prince of Wales, and sup posed to be addressed to the Infanta of Spain. Its authenticity was believed by the Oxford antiquary, Anthony it Wood, from whose manuscript collections we have retrieved it. D. sisnicoss ANGLIA AD INTANTAM MARIAM.

Ml.~ ' .. yß ' . _ Y -:;.,. This forenoon we received the Paris Journals of Tuesday. On the preceding day the Chamber of Deputies was still engaged in discussing the Budget, when the Minister of Finance read a new Pridet de Loi for the ensuing year. He stated, that the Vote of Credit for 200 millions expiring in March, the Government was under the necessity of calling for a supplementary vote of fifty millions to be distributed among the different Ministers in such proportions as might be necessary. M. de LAMSTiI opposed the Project as contrary.to the Charter and to the ac customed usages of the Chamber. General For wished to refer the Project to be examined in the Bureaus, which was agreed to by the Minister of Finances. — The Chamber was immediately formed into Bureaux, the Project discussed in each, and the public sitting recommenced. Some temperate discussion ensued, which terminated in the Law being adopted. These Papers contain little intelligence of import ance respecting France. It is stated from Chaumont, of the 30th ultimo, that a prisoner, who was believed to be an Officer, had some days previous beets con veyed to Clairvaur, w here he was strictly guarded, none but the jailer having access to him. The Mayor of Thouars has repaired to Pat is, to tender his resig nation, the situation of that city, and the spirit which reigns there, being such as to require a more active ' Magistrate. Considerable alterations are making i among the stations of the troops in the South of France. A letter from Chateauroux states, that on the ar rival of General Bertrand in that town, on the 17th of March, nearly the whole population went out to meet him, and afterwards surrounded his residence. The gendarmerie and troops of the line were called out to disperse this assemblage ; but the crowd en tered the court and garden, exclaiming—" Bertrand for ever !—Long live the heroes of fidelity !"—The armed force alone remained without. The General sheaved himself at the window, and replied, 44 Five le lloi," which was instantly re-echoed from every mouth. The accounts received from Constantinople, of the Ottoman Porte refusing to accede to the Russian ulti matum, seem fully confirmed. • - The following are extracts from these Papers: FRANKFORT, MARCH 25. To such as are able to penetrate the mysteries of Cabinets it seems impossible that peace can be pre served, unless the Ottoman Porte indemnifies Russia for assembling and putting upon a war footing her armies on the Truth. It is said that Russia insists upon this, and, as a part of the conditions, that she shall occupy Wallachia and Moldavia. A UCH '26.—Yesterday, an extraordinary sensation was created on 'Change, by the arrival of several cou riers at the banking-house of Bethmanc and Roths child. It is said that the latter immediately dis patched couriers to Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, and other Cities. A panic has seized the speculators in the public funds, and Austrian notes have fallen three per cent. Great events are said to have taken place in France, Spain, and Naples. MARCH 27.—Today the mystery, which for the last two days has created such a panic on 'Change, is cleared up. Couriers, who arrived from Vienna on Monday, brought the important intelligence that the Porte, in a Declaration made by the Reis Effendi to the Ministers of England and Austria, had refused to agree to the most essential points demanded by Russia. The nomination of new Hospodars in Wal lachia and Moldavia, is one of the conditions refused by the Porte. It is said, that all negociations have been suspended, provisionally, at Constantinople, by the communication of the Reis Effendi. Intelligence from Constantinople, of the 3d March, states the determination of the Sultan to commence hostilities. The death of Ali Pacha; and the birth of a son to the Sultan, had excited the spirits of the Turks to the highest pitch. VIENNA, MARCH 22. A change of the utmost importance has taken place in the Administration. His Imperial Highness the Archduke Rainier has obtained his recal from Italy, on account of the climate not agreeing with his health. It is said that his Imperial Highness the He reditary Prince will be the new Viceroy, and that he will be vested with increased powers. It is said that the Supreme Chancellor, Count de Sanran, will ac company him. It is expected that the Archduke . Rainier, on his return, will be Piesident of the Coun cil of State. A Note has been communicated by our Ambas sador at the Ottoman Porte to our Chancellor of State, announcing that the Turkish Government has interdicted all strangers from entering the Turkish Provinces, or travelling without a passport from the Mussulman Authorities on the frontiers, to 'whom special instructions have been sent. French Funds, April I.—Five per Cents. 87 f. 70 c. 88 f. 87 f. 86 c. This forenoon we received a Germin•Mail, bringing the AUgemeine Zeitung of the 26th ult. and Frankfort Papers.to the. 30th; The following are extracts s .

It i; pretty certain that Chourschid, immediately after the surrender of his adversary by capitulation, gave ord,n-i to hasten his assassination, and made use of lehme: Pacha for this purpose, in order not to violate t';? letter of the oath which he had previously taken. --Hence Chourschid caused the news of Ali's tion to be spread at the same time t% ith that of hi 3 surrender, and Tartars hastened to all parts of t*-:e Empire with the anticipated information. A mercantile letter from Trieste, of the 13th of March, affirms, that the naval combat stated to have taken place in the Gulf of Lepanto, between the :3d and sth March, was not decisive, though the Talks lost 27, and the Greeks only 16 ships.
