To adopt the system it may judge most convenient and just of weights and measures. To promote and encourage all kinds of industry, and to remove the obstacles that paralyse it.

To approve of the general regulation for the police and health of the Kingdom. To protect the political liberty of the press . To tender real and effective the responsibility of the Secretaries of Suite, alt other persons in public. employ. Lastly, it belongs to the Cottes to gram or refuse its content in all those cis,* and acts which the constitution points out necessary. One of the restrictions imposed by the Consti tution upon Ferdinand of Spain is, that he shall, previous to contracting a marriage, communicate such intention to the Cortes, Ihr the purpose of ob. raining their consent; and in failure of complying with this article, he shall be virtually considered to have abdicated the throne. This restriction may appear harsh and unnecessary ; but when we con sider, that by forming an alliance with a powerful Continental Monarch, he might be able to render nugatory all the effects of the revolution, and suc cessfully subvert the new Constitution, it will be regarded as only a proper precaution. -15, F.

They contain the Madrid Gazette Extraordinau, with the list of the Junta appointed ad interim, before whom Ferdinand has taken the provisional oath to maintain the Constitution published at Cadiz by the General and Extraordinary Cortes in 1812. In conformity to the Constitution,the Cortes are to be immediately convened, before whom the King is to solemnly ratify the oath in the form which the Constitution prescribes. The patriotic Ilallateros has been appointed General in Chief of the Army of the Centre. The Spanish Ambassador in Paris has announced in the Malheur, that all Spaniards now in France, and who left their country in consequence of their political opinions, may return home in consequence of a decree of amnesty, and that they will be furnished with pass ports accordingly. The Duke de San Carlos, the Spanish Ambassador to ti:e British Court, issued a notice yesterday to the same effect, to all Spaniards residing in this country. Cu the 9th instant, Ferdinand held a Court in his Pal ce fur Spaniards, which was numerously attended. Madrid.has been brilliantly illuminated three nights successively in consequence of the late glorious events. The. Mu nicipalCorporittion has been re-established, as it existed in 18 14., under the Clines. This respectable body has purged itself of such of its Members as had aohered to the abolition of the Constitution. A Deputation of this new Municipal Corps proceeded to the Palace. and were Fresent at the taking of the oath by the King befina; the Provisional Junta.— When Close who were incarcerated for political opinions were liberated from the prisons the male factors endeavoured to make their escape. They fell upon the three centinc:s, disarmed and killed them ; but the guard promptly arrived dis charged a volley among them, when ninete2a were killed, and the othe s retreated to their cells. A letter frem Barcelona of the I Ith gives an account of that province having shaken off its fetters. The Constitution wits proclaimed on the 10th amidst the joy and enthusiasm of the people. The doors of the Inquisition were broken open, and after the unhappy sufferers therein were enlarged and put in safety, the hateful prison justly became the prey of the enraged populace. Among others who were delivered from the dungeons of the Inquisition, was the Count de Montijo, who it was generally believed was in secret confinement in Gallicia.- 1-lis flintily had even gone 200 leagues distance, to St. James de Compostello, where they conceived oe was in captivity, to welcome his emancipation The intelligence from Paris is uninteresting. On Saturday the Chamber of Peers assembled, when the Projct of the Law relative to individuals was referred to a special commission, composed of live members, after which the Chamber adjourned Sine die. IVesintimler Eleclion.—State of the Pull this day at the Final Close.—Burdett, 5,3.27—H0th0uv, 4,BB2—Lamb, 4.436. After the numbers had been announced by the High Bailiff, Sir Francis Burdett addressed tho- Electors—he congratulated them on their triumph, and in allusion to his late trial at Leicester, (a full account of which we give this day), l►e de clared his determination to move an arrest of judg ment. Mr. Hothouse followed the worthy Baronet —Mr. Lamb, from a praise-worthy wish to avoid creating disorder, did not appear at all. It is said that the Chairing will take place on a future day with great eclat. Middlesex Elmtion.—State of the Poll yesterday at the Close.—Byng, s,lss—Whitbread, .Q,700 — Mellish, 2,431. AN UPRIGHT ELECTOR.—In these degenerate times, a Journalist has more than ordinary pleasure from recording an instance of honest political inde pendence. Ait eminent ale brewer called, on Mon day last, with one of Mr. Mellish's canvassing parties, on an elderly man, who is a cooper, residing in the neighbourhood of Mile End Road, and who receives annually a considerable sum front the brewer, whose influence in this instance was relied upon. After the usual introductory induce ments had been made use of, and his vote was soli cited, the Cooper, addressing himself to Mr. Mellish, who attended the party, said—" Sir, on the Corn Rill, or the Rillion Committee, you might know better than I did, and I would bow to your judge ment ; but as to the grant of 10,0001. a year to the Duke of York, for visiting his afflicted father, that is a simple question,easily understood by every father or son, and let the consequences as respects Mr. business be what they may, d— me if I will give my vote in favour of any man who could disgrace himself by forwarding so infamous a grant." The canvassing party withdrew, struck dumb by this unexpected honourable exhibition of honest feeling on the part of this upright Elector. Mr. Curwen, in his address to the freeholders of • Cumberland,. stated that his wif: (to whom we be lieve Mr. Curwen owes the greater part of his large property) had enalat.'Led with her whole soul into the contest to resette this ccunty from that :late a boudag:, and degraded sulnuission to one under which it had so long laboured. He said that Mrs. Curwen had, the morning of the eLction, before he left home, addressed hint as follows : " I have 5,0001. in diamonds ; put them. in your pocket ; they cannot be devoted to a better cause than that in which you are new eng:tged." It is a serious fact, that the first person released, when the doors of the Madrid Inquisition were thrown open, was an Englishman, Captain Kin?. He laal been confined there fifteen days, for havi''g aided in the limitation of a design for a monument of the Constitution, which the Liherales in Nladrid were preparing to erect, when they heard what was passing in Andalusia. The Countess of Glasgow, and Lady Maxwell, al Pollok, have humanely promoted a Subscription among the Ladies of Renfrewshire, for clothing the indigent women and female chiltiren belonging to that county. From the funds raised in this way, Lady Maxwell seat to the Ito?. Messrs. Logan, Pringle, and Stewart, .51 women's shifts, 59 chil dren's ditto, 31 %vomen's petticoats, 21 children's ditto, 14 pullicat handkerchiefs, t 0 short gowns, 21 frocks, 14 pairs list shoes with soles, 10 pairs stout leather ditto, '2O pairs women's stockings, and caps, which were distributed among the poor of the parish of Eastwood, and have alliwiled a very sea sonable supply to many in very distressed circum stances Mr. Lambton having writter. to Sir Thomas Lid dell (who is now with the King at Brighton), to request his vote and interest on the present Oe• cation ; receiv►ed the following very " courtly" answer li 2 , ,t h Feb. 1520.
