The Funds hare had a rally this morning, aid that withont any particular reason except a few pur chasers. Consols which left off yesterday at ;a have been done at 77g. They are now shoat this price, sellers. In the Hesse °Mord, last night the Earl of DARN- L'T moved a series of resolutions, relative to certain transactions connected with the Stationery Office In Irelan I ; but on the understanding that the matter was in a course of investigation, his Lordship declined pressing his motion. In the House of Commons, only thirteen or fourteen Members having assembled at four o'clock, an adjournment of course took place till to-morrow. Whether the Honourable Members who the day before had extorted from the Ministers the re peal of the Agricultural Horse Tax, were seeking lei sure to consider what other hurdlerss it was expedient for them to propose to have removed front a suffering people, we cannot p.csume to say. This, however, we will venture to assert, that if they happened to be so employed, and have resolved to persevere consistently in following up theplan of relief they have commenced, they have never been engaged in a pursuit which can more redound to their honour, or from which they 'can obtain more satisfaction and applause. What they have already done, little as it is in the way of redress compared with the load of taxation and grievances with n►ich the country is burthened, is sufficient to indicate bow much more they could easily do if they con• tinue united and animated with a similar spirit. But if they stop in their career, and inconsistently relinquish t►e vantage ground they have gained, all that they have dose will only serve to convince the country how much more wonid have been done, were its representa tires returned in such a manner as to render them more independent of Ministers, and identified with the interests and feelings of the people. Lofty as the language of Ministers may be when they are compelled to condescension ; though they talk of " the abandonment of this tax as a proof of the earnest desire of Minions to do all is their power fur the alleviation of the public burthens I" and tl.ough they hope " that the country would receive u itli pleasure the boon that had been conceded," still Cary are made to feel that the p►wer of the public purse, which they affect to open or to shut at pleasure, i• actually In the bands of the House, and that they are constitutionally dependent for the supplies they ad minister on the discretion of the Commons. The tiss;scaLiasa of the Excttagt•xa said that " be bad reserved Ids *seem to the Bill at first, in order to ascertain that the majority really was in Cron,. of the repeal of the tax." So far hie language oAs strictly Parliamentary ; but be is said to bare added, what, if the. report of his speech be correct, can not he admitted to be equally formal, "that from what be bad heird dace the debate took place, be bad so longer any doubt upon that subject." Even the Cutocceuma of tilt EICHVaCift must, it seems eon sent to learn the seselfuents of a asajority of the House ~' • in sons! Ivey time is different from the Metal organ of its joindals ; Hie as oar Reporters ind the public in ' general take occasion, by means that are deemed irre gular, to become acquainted with the proceeding of the Mew and the speeches of its Member. Be that as it may, the enancatt.on sabjoiaegli "Oust beln the case, it was not for him to tel up his individual opinion, notwithstandlag the respect able manner in which it was supperted, against that of a substantial majority, and he should therefore no longer oppose the repeal." This style might, as we hinted yesterday, have bee. partly suggested by po licy, fur the purpose of conciliating those country gea times who are usually supporters of Ministers, and inducing them to acre* to the grant that was after wards to come under discussion. But whatever were the views with which it was adopted, it is plain that it proceeded from the pressure of necessity. It is manifest that the Ministers were not only completely outvoted, but in fear of k defection of their Meade. It is an evidence that where the Members are deeply in terested in a matter against which they feel the mea sures of Ministers to press with severity, they can easily obtain the point for which they contend, though it bad been declared impossible to be relinquished. To the importunity of an individual member, however, convinc ing his arguments or strenuous his perseverance, a Ministry in the plenitude of their power may refine to , yield the minutest fraction of their plans. But his repeated efforts, though lost upon them will not be altogether lost. 'lle grievances of the people and the necessity of retrenchment become by such exertions impressed upon the minds of other individuals; by sympathy they unite, and by union form a phalanx that subdues resistance. The boon extorted on the present occasion is io itself but trifling. To the far users it will afford no sensible relief But indirectly it may prove of incalculable value. This reduction of half a million of revenue would, as Lord Mg.roN ob- served, be productive of half a million of economy in the general expenditure. From long experince it is ascertained that Ministers will never submit to retrenchment till it is forced from them; but when once they are made to begin, in earnest, with the work, one knows not to what extent they may be made to carry it. Even the improvident grant to the Doke of CLanatern will in this way have its use ; for the payment not being contemplated in the Ways and Means, mast be drawn from sources which re trenchment alone can supply. The CMANCILLOR of the ExcHlQl:ra must now avail himself of the hints of Mr. Hems, and, as in the case of the repeal, give up his reserve when necessity compels. Already, if we are well informed, he has begun to act upon them sugges tions. It was stated with confidence on Change, this morning, that the army is to be reduced 10,000 The following communication explains the occasion between Merino and the (leneral Esipechisde EXTRACT or A LETTER IPROM MADRID, JCR' 5. On the 26th May, a detachment comumuded by an officer who was in garrison at Tordules, was attacked by Merino with 100 men, half cavalry and the other part infantry. After a vigorous combat of two hours the curate retired on Cebreros. On the 27th, General Empecinado retired to Aranda, where he united his detachments of the regiment of Jaen and marched on Inu to join the troops under Colonel Chemin, where he received advice of the attack at Tordules, as well as a letter from Merino to the commandant of the detachment who was in garrison and the answer of the latter. The following is Merino's letter:— " It is much against my will Mr. Commandant, to shed the blood of a Spaniard, and to act contrary to oar religion. In consequence of which, I summon you to surrender at discretion. Yon are well acquainted in what manner the other prisoners have been treated. JEREME MERINO." •NIIIW ER. si I must inform you, that I also regret, as well as yourself, to shed the blood of a Spaniard ; and I also think myself as good s Christian as those who accom pany you. In regard to what you demand of my laying down my arms, I have only to say. they have been confided to me by the nation, to whom I am faithful, and above all, I shall never surrender to a set of villains, but will resist as long as I have a drop of blood left." After Merino received the above answer, he ordered the detachment to be attacked, wbo re sisted until all their ammunition was gone. and then took to the bayonet, but at length were overpowered and obliged to surrender to Merino, who had the cruelty to shoot them. The moment General Empecinado received accounts of this affair, be wrote to Merino the following note :- 11 ` The infamy you committed on the 26th May, on the National Volunteers of Catalonia, has filled me with horror, as well as the troops I have the bonour to cow mand. This action only belongs to you and your base satellites ; and has given to the whole nation a proof of your dastardly conduct. I cannot abstain from is forming you thet if you persist in your assassinations, I shall retaliate on the wives, children, fathers, bro thers of any of your infamous band, that may in future fall into my power. " Head Quarters, Fontioso, May $O." Orders have been sent to the 2d Battalion of Cats lonia in icarrison at Vittoria, to unite to the Ist Bata lion, and to form a moveable column in the province of Burgus.—The soldiers of that regiment have demanded from the authorities to pursue Merino. Since they learned the fate of their countrymen at Torqueles, they have sworn to give them as quarter. The last ■dvices relative to Ypsilanti state that hie actual force amounts to 12,000 men of regular in fantry and 8000 of cavalry, besides whom, he is fol lowed by irregular troops, Pendants and others to the number of 40,000; sod that the country supplies him abundantly with provisions. 13y these accounts we have a full confirmation of our former statement of the capture iu the Archipelago of forty vessels laden with grain and other articles from Rgypt. des tined for the Turkish arsny. The Milan °assume adds, that one of the four Turkish frigates lately t!aptured by the Ureeks had 890 bartelsof gunpowder • ea boned.
