U is said that A‘lmiralVillaviceneist had left Cadis. Zg e d e i 4 l, on the t 7th ult., to take the gener a l di "lioo o f the naval army.. Some diustisfaction h as kes repress ed at this no mination, as it is supp o s e d b e was partly concerned le the disorders of th e 7;h: or,if n ut so, he is b:.ttned for not endeavouring „ re press thew. The Manifestoes of O'Donnell serve hut little to re eq.. the unfavourable impression against him. There is a national guard organizing it Cadiz, tt e interior wirier of the city. All per sons o r o!notari:y took part in the recent affairs to enrol themselves. This patriotic will retii3llo embodied until the period of 1 %; rocritu:i•mal organisation of the army. M. I,.. r erin, the King's Lieutenant of Cadiz, will be the toininalftirr. S o nar fresh changes have just taken plate in the Mi. e i str e. M. AremPlles, one of the must dirtingnished ~! . rs of the Cartes at Cadiz, hots been named Minis ter isf Grace and Justice, in the room of M. 'Torre, who lad h-ld the 'Wolin since the 9th March. Mr. John Jasat is named Minister of Marine, in tle p l a ce 41 M. Salazar. . Pt. Marcia Herrero* has been appointed to the Mi si.:ry f the Interior, the place lately occupied by a. 'The Sesaion, but not the labours, of the new Par tial:rut imminent:ea yesterday, a-len Slr. Mennen* SCITt.N was re-elected Speaker of the House of Coin sans, 1 , z 1 gt.n , lentan discharged the important 4,:!ito of h;: !nation, during the last, and part of a former Pavilament, with seal, temper, and impartiality, all sides concurred in regardinz him as the fittest per son fur tii!ing the Chair, and his nomination was di.- Moil: heti by a degree of unanimity which affords the lost evidence of his merits. On Thursday next, the lino will come down to read his speech in person, sal a new anti magnificent throne has been prepared in the Home of Peers for his reception. Till then but lade insight can be gained in the course of policy 'thigh is ItLely to he pursued by his MAJESTY'S Ministers ander theappailing circumstanees of the times—circum stances which their blind obstinacy and unconstitu tional tueasures have so powerfully served to a : ..rgravate. If, indeed, the past alone were considered, but little hope could be entertained for the future and with all it tr disecsition to make allowances for the frailties of human nature, we cannot say that we anticipate any wry sa'atary change. There Is a possibility, however, that the lessons of experience may at lase penetrate, and partly dissipate the groat mass of poli tical prejudices under which successive Atltninistra tMal have lab.m.etl erer since the Pilot, " who did sot weather the ~torn," replanted the principles of des potism ht tI soil of constitutional freedom. '1 his poasibiiity is indeed a fetid)! anchor to on: hopes : hat as it fits within the scope of human nature, It may still he cherished as a pleasing dream, a distant T;Itill of st Eden. (tom whiels folly awl .hilt have hither.) excluded us, and into whi, h wisdom and patriotism may still perhaps re-contyuer oar aimission. Anxiously therefore shall the coun try await ae -üblication of his MAJESTY'S Speech, and the Address Toted by Parliament in reply.— Should the former disappoint the hopes of the nation, if ardent o is'les can be termed hopes, the other will, we trust, prove balm to its wounded spirit. Parlia ment. we arc juolv told by Ministerial writers them selves, is caite.l u on to resign all thoughts and fmlings of:. If, and to legislate alone for the euretry, sad the times. Parliament will take the advice: Fes • itt rt ab to•ste doeeri, though not probably in the sense tairler)to al by Ministers, who confound the ex istence 'heir Adolinistration with that of the Throne, the Conatry, and the Altar. Parliament will separate the chaff from the wheat. It will not attend to the interests of men or parties. but to those of the people; and by regal sting the interests of the people in a just aml constitutioual manner, it will most effectually Love those of the Throne and the Altar, and contribute to remove the difficulties and dangers of the tunes. (►Boat TUt LIVERPOOL PAMIR, Ark IL 20.) In addition to what we hare inserted in the fourth pale, respecting the intended rising at Huddersfield, arc accounts from different pieta of Yorkshire, all of which (sterile in stating, that attempt at a erneral rising has ■ot been confined to Huddersfield, or its aeighboarhood. It appears, that the rioters had se tt:lllv fixed on Wednesday se'nnight fur a general and simultaneous rising in all the Northern Districts ; se ver.al men are already committed to York-castle for high treason, anti arrests conflates daily. (IRON TITS PRESTON CHRONICLE.) We are informed by a rorrespondent, in whom we place great reliance, that a nocturnal meeting, or sister of the Rioters, living is thr township of Weel l'a. Witbnall, and Houghton, about eight miles from Milltown, took place in the night between Tuesday and Wednesday last ; but nothing could be learnt of t 1 nature or object of the assembly.

With respect to the commercial affairs of Spain in general, nothing would be done until the de liberations of the Cortes had commenced. Amounts from St. Sebastian, of the 10th, state, that the different Customs in the several Forts of Spain would not be established mill the assembling of the Cortes is July ; business, it was expected, would be Mattis' till that period.

Ihe Royal Chair of State is of a simple form, hut very richly cushion ed, lined with purple velvet, and gilt. On either side, allowing sufficient space fur wo attendant dignitaries, rise two Corinthian columns, splendidly gilt from the base to the capital, and ornamented with a spiral wreath of oak leaves. The canopy is richly deco- rated, and is surmounted by the Royal Crown. The view of this part of the house front the bar is magni ficent to a high degree, and gives an arkequate im pression of the dignity as well as the splendour of the regal office. The benches for the lairds are all new ly covered with a• arlet doh, the butts are cus►ioned iu the most finished style. The fluor is covered by a rich Turkey carpet, and the sides of the house beneath the tapestry are lined with starlet. We were glad to observo that the most diligent care has been employed in preserving and repairing the old tapestry. Ihe house has altogether an appearance of grandeur which is strongly contrast, d with the business-like simplicity of the House of Commons. Tuts NSW PROM RELATIVE To THE Ltw OP ELEC.

KINii‘TON, Fen. 25.--The followin.: particulars, respecting the operations of the contending parties on the Main, have been promulgated in this city, from Curacoa. Bolivar took Calabora un the sth instant, by surprising Morales, the Spanish General, who re tired to Odes, where the former followed him, and, after hard fighting. took that place also. Morino was waiting at Valencia, with 4,••00 troop•, for. Mo rales and himself to unite their forces, and make a grand stand. Part of Bolivar's division had arrived at Savanos of Ocautate. Letters from Uihraltar, of the 27th ult., mention, that the tiovernment schooner had returned, with a favourable report of the state of the plague in Africa. The deaths in Mumma did not exceed 21 11 or 300 daily. In Mogadore they were reduced also consi derably, and were trona twelve to fifteen daily. The cordon, established by Oeneral Don, between the Spanish dominions and tlibraltar, was removed on the 29th of March, and a free intercourse with Spain was established. On Thursday lest, the Eagle cutter, Captain Ede, brought into Harwich a fine new lugger, having on board 56 half-strikers of spirits, with some tea, tobacco/ @wane painted paper, and U men. Monday the Jessie, with 179, and the Thomson packet, with 108 passengers, sailed from the Cane : the former for Prince Edward Island, and the latter for St. John's, New Brunswick. About ten days ago, the Adeona also sailed for the latter place, having on board 111 passengers ; so that no less than 998 emi grants have been carried out by Dumfries vessels at this time. Of these emigrants one-half at least are weavers from Langholm,Cumberland,and other places, who not being altogether unacquainted with rural em ployments, have very wisely exchanged the shuttle fur the spade, the axe, or the cross-saw. The other half of the emigrants is made up of labourers, ploughmen, and small farmers, many of whom have seen better days, and who doubtless felt many a pang as the shorn of the Solway were receding from their view, and making the Land of their nativity only an imaginary point on the verge of the horiron.

Pst . i's S. uoot..—The annual display of the talents of the sltolars upon this fonntlatio:t, took place on Wednesday la..t ; the Duke of Sussex, and many perons eminent for their rank and station, honoured the meeting with their presence. It is but jnAtice to say, that on no occasion hare we witness ed a more gratifying exhibition of the kind the speeches were generally delivered with correctness, and with due feeling, animation, and force Where so many deserve high praise, it may appear invidious to mention by name one or two individuals: yet we cannot refrain from noticing the prize c positions by Judge and Pratt. They were delivered with much spirit by their authors. The jolt adaptation of the speeches to the iv-culler powers of the several scholars, evinced great discrimination and judgment in the Illicit Mester, Dr. Skath, to whose talents and assi duity the school is in no small degree indebted for its present state of advancement.

LANCASHIRE ASSIZES. rum. CON.--GILL, ESQ. V. &osier. np. Mr. SC•RLVIT opened the Ci to the Jury, and afterwards proceeded to the examination of witnesses. The first witness called proved the marriage of the parties at Liverpool, in October, 1608. John Homier, Esq. then deposed to his acquaintance with the defendant, who had married a lady eon- . siderably of der than himself. Witness said the families of plaintiff and defendant visited each other. He was intimate with all the parties, and had ample oppyr• tnnities of noticing their ennthiet; he never saw tLe slightest impropriety in the conduct of Mrs. Aubrey towards Mrs. lu 11 , nor in that of Mrs. 0111 towards any man. Witness's last visit to Mr. 0111's was October last, when he and his wife spent a few das there; and though be observed an estrangement in the manner of Mr. OM, he did not observe the *Ugliest abatement of affection in Mrs. f ill, who appeared t., be a peculiarly kind and affectionate wife. Befor.: and after marriage plaintilf had resided in Mont gomeryshire, and, three or four years ago, he reside-I for some time In Herefordshire. During h:s visit i.• plaintiff, in October last, plaintiff told witness that, in 11417, having desired 31rs. (1. to meet him at Wm. cester (he having been in London), he disguised him self, and detected Mrs, U. in as appointment with d, - ltrintabr,vittant Ole 118 teed her It the Inn. and received a letter from, which, as soon as she bad read in the street, Mr. Aubrey drove out of town in his gig. Witness knew of Mr. OA stispielon previoos to this. Subsequently, witness told Mr. (1. that Mr. Aubrey was desirous to ehter into an explanation with him, and to satisfy his mind. This Mr. 0. declined, much to witness's surprise, as Mr. 0. had expressed himself fully satisfied of Mts. o.'s guilt, and had do. sired Mrs. o.'s relations to send for her, bat she had refusAl to quit the house. Ann Morgan, wife to Mr. Ui coichman, depose., to h.tving seen Mrs. U., at the latter end of 1817, go down a dirty lane to the bark-door of Mr. Aubre's house at Hereford, which she entered; witness ha.' preciously seen Mr. A. look up and down the Ane.-• She described Mrs. o.'s dress. Too other witnesses deposed to a lady, dressed as Mrs. U. had been described, entering the back-door o! Mr. A.'s house at the time stated. Ellen Lewis was a mast important witness. She stated that she lived a year and three quarters in the service of Mrs. Wainwright, in Wild Marsh -street, He- reford ; her house was opposite to that occupied by Mr. Aubrey ; he entered to the house in the year 18t/. Witness knows the drawing-room ; one of Mrs. Wain- ' weight's upper rooms commands a view Into this mom. Witness knows Mrs. MIL has seen her in the street, and has seen her go into Mr. Aubrey's house many times, perhaps a dozen, at different periods of the day ; at ten o'clock, half-past ten, and eleven o'clock in the morning. There was seldom any person with her; upon one occasion she saw Mr. (1111 with her, and sometimes her female servant was with her, and sometimes her I the one. Witness has seen her go fee -1 quently alone; the times she went the latest was when she had somebody with her. Witness has seen Mrs. Gill Iboth In the lower and upper roons e llset move frequently in the latter. Upon one °cosies she saw Kr. Ashiey lean towards her to kiss IsertAke was sitting in a chair, and did not wive, but tubes., moot state po sitively whether he did kiss his twist. Witness said when Mrs. Bill left the house, Mr. Aubrey attended her to the door, in a different manner from what he did any other lady. Being desired to explain is what this difference consisted, witness said he talked to her at the door, and it seemed to witnesses If he was apes:r ing to her concerning the meeting with her again. They generally remained some minutes in converss• i . 1 lion before she quitted the house. *itness then Jai.'. ! that in January or February, Ilil 8, Ike sew Mr. An i brey and Mrs. Bill in the front rows logetber.
