Money is ntrein gie plentiful, and the continuation is ft per cent. to the nest account. we hare this morning received Paris papers of Saturday. gy adriees from Madrid of the 18th inst. Spain wears to be in a state of considerable agitation. The Prorincinl Deputation and the municipality of Itadrid have addressed his MAJarry un the subject of the iuspending dangers: they ascribe a great portion of the discontent to the absence of his MAJESTY, and to the appointment of persons to public offices, who are notoriously opposed to the Constitutional system. They recommend the return of the KING to the Ca pital, and an immediate convocation of the Cortes. Madrid is represented to have been the centre of an insurrectional movement front the ltith to the 18th inst. The declaration of the Kisc, stating, that his residence z.t the Escurial was essential to his health, hut that he would repair to Madrid as soon as he was in a state of couralesceuce, had the effect of restoring tranquillity.

No intelligence has yet been received eusirtoing the report. The Sovereigns of Austria, Russia, and Prnssia, it is sal , •re determined to maintain an armed force suf ficient to guarantee such an order of things u they we pleased to term Legiimarr Some private accounts frees the Lower Elbe affirm, that England has resolved ,on some decisive measures n ith respect to Portugal. (Gcrinad The scene in preparation for to-morrow engrosses the speculations of the whole Metropolis. By the vast majority of the people, it is contemplated with feelings of the ascot pure and generous exultation , by the small hut powerful minority. it is regarded with the utmost malignity. That the slightest symptom of disorder that may appear on the occasion, will be OH 'trued in the must unfavourable manlier, and that any opportunity that may occur, of taking advantage of the 'popular zeal, will be readily embraced. we cannot entertain a doubt. We even know, that serious ap prehension* prevail among the well informed, and wel affected, that attempts, on the pa.t of the enemies of Cie Que.ensand of the people, are preparing to be made, to excite disturbance, for the purpose of converting an intended scene of joy and triumph, into a scene of disaffection and dismay. The intimation of such diabolical designs, will, we trust, prove effec tual mean* for their defeat. Order, peace, and cau tion i annot be tt.o studiously observed. As the wee sioa is that of a religious solemnity, as well as that of a " °pular triumph, the character of both should he comb;ned, and we should therefore be careful that our good should not be evil spoken of." Are arc autborisetl to state, that the arrangements of the C 3 to-up , rtor are not nutlet the direc tion of Sir H. Wit.s,,N, but •f a Special Committee. The tumour of a change of Ministry, which we stated yesterday, obtains combotation from the inter view which took place on Saturday between Lord lial:v•.n.L6 and the KING. HIS 111.IJE,TC, it appeari, sent a Met.sace to his Lordship, and the Noble Lord had forthwith. an audience of the Kum, which, according to one account, lasted for an boor and a half: and. according to another, f o several hours. Neither the object nor the result of the conference has transpired ; but conjecture tantiot fail to refer it to some new arraogentent of the directors of hi: Jlajesty's Councils. That his Lordship wid be led to fill an active office in She rAnemplated arrantrement, we cannot, with our re collection of his avowed attachment to retirement. he rca.lily induced to suppose, but that he may he upon to afford his sanction and his aid to aim solvetiou that may be speedily made, and to t..e character of the measures that may be conse quently / mimed, we should not be disposed to doubt. What the els-mac:cc of those measures would be, it is by tn., uteaus difficult to anticipate. A meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Ann, Westminster. to Address the Queen, is we under stand to take place on Thursday next, in the Vestry Room, H. Williams, Esq. the Senior Churchwarden, Laving consented to take the Chair on the occasion. A s:socking attempt was made at Paris on the 23d inst. to murder she Duke Dacaxs. A short time after le had retired to heal, he was awoke with a smell resent- Wing that arising from burnt linen ; he was hastily getting out of lied n bets a detonating ball, which had been pl.. red in the bed, exploded and wounded him ; ano ther ball exploded in a few seconds, nearly in the same place, and the %%bole bed was enveloped in flames. He called for his valet who slept In a room over his own, but at this moment his valet was thrown out of the window into the street, and was so much bruised by his fall, that be died neat day. Nine thousand francs in mos.: v and bills were missing, on emunising the papers of the Duke. lie is in considerable pain, but his life is nut iu danger. THE STATESMAN.

Sr. Pact.'s.---The Committee met at Guildhall yes terday, and sat from II until 4 o'clock, to make ar rangements for her Majesty's going to St. Paul's.

Yesterday morning at half•past eleven o'clock, the King arrived, in his travelling chariot and four, with out-riders, at his Palace in Pall Mall, escorted by a party of the 10th Regiment of Light Horse, from Windsor. Yesterday, a great failure took place in the Stork Exchange, to a considerable amount. A very eminent ►roker least suspected suddenly disappeared. This slifference is sta•ed to be upwards of thirty thousand ptiticls; he is minus with his banker to the amount seven thousand. Some search is making after him. Two more failures took place this morning, but not to , a great extent. Tna TREASON ARTA Pt. ‘cAnns.—The Grand Jury fur the County of Middlesex, we are informe I, found ' yesterday a true Bill, implicating as an accomplice of the fugitive Feanktim, alias Fletcher, an individual, whose name is for the present concealed. A Judge's warrant for the apprehension of this person was, it is affirmed, issued last night. Satur lay's Ga:ette contains an Adilress from the Mayor, Bailiffs, and Burgesses, of the town and county of :.'cu:hatopton, assuring his Majesty of their firm at tachment to his Royal person and government, and of their determination to support the religion, Inns, and government of the country ; but humbly implores that his Majesty will nut authorize his official servants to reagitate a question which canonly tend to alienate the affections of his dutiful and loyal subjects. In every part of the kingdom the late proceedings in the House of Lords hare been the subject of as intense au interest as in any circle of the metropolis. To an nounce in a brief and comprehensive telegraphic mode the result of the investigation, a zealous publican, at Dover, of the name of John Ilistutrd, had, as we learn from a correspondent, appended to the ordinary in scriptions of his sign, the following intimation :--- "John Bull— is happy to inform his customers, that (leorgey is sal a cuckold." In consequence of a requisition, signed by several Freeholders of the County of Middlesex, fur the pur pose of considering of an address of conevatulation to the Queen, and also to petition the King for the dismissal of Ministers, the Sheriff has appointed a meeting to be held on Friday the Ist of December at twelve ►:'clock, at the Mermaid at Hackney. Leans, Nov. 25.—The Borough of Leeds is about to express, in a distinct and impressive manner, the opinion entertained be its inhabitants of the case of the Queen. For the purpose of affording that oppor tunity, a Requisition signed by one hundred and sixty three inhabitants, iu the middle and tipper classes of society among us; the signatures to which were mainly affixed the first day, has been banded to the Mayor, requesting him to call a Meeting, to take into consi deration the propriety of presenting an Address of Congratulation to the Queen, on the triumph recently audited by her Majesty and by the Constitution. To this application, which was made on Thursday. the Mayor, last night at eight o'clock replied--That his professional engagements and his business at the Court (louse have prevented him from returning an answer, but that the requlsitors shall be informed of his decision to-morrow, (this day.)

In this iw; orlant case, of which %r yesterday exalt• sively gave a ski tell of the opinions of the Judges, tlr o the time our paper went to press, the reasons assi b ited by the majority of the Court fur refusing the new trial were in every respect concurrent ant .inolar. There were four leading objet lions to the verdict Is recorded. First—That there was uo evidence that the alleged libel was published in Leictstersi ire. Second — That the publication having taken plate in Middlesex, where the crime of libel was completes', the venue ought ti be laid there, for in misdemeanours the indictment can only be tried where the offence is complete, and not t...bere it has CW11111..0001. Third—That evidence was impro- I petty rejected, which would have gone to prove the truth of the facts, upon which the libel. which was a mere com• mentsry upon those facts, was founded : and fourth— That the charge to the Jury, on the part of the Learned Judge, was partial and unjust. As to the quest on, whe ther the mere writing of a libe', without publication, v ea an offence, the Court declined to give any opiniuti, toe question not Was necessar ly r.teed Ibis case, for there was here, in fact, a publication. The Learned Judges uho were of opinion that no new trial o ight be granted, a 'dressed thtmeelves entirely la. the four points above tneut:oned, and ma.nt fined that the defend ant was clearly not entitled to a verdict. Mr. Justice Winer concurred in general with the rest of the Court in what had been said, as to admissibi lity of the evidence rejected, sod as to the charge of the Learned J edge to the Jury upon II:Slaw am I a facts of the case. The difficulty he felt, sod whie.st, from first to last, he had not been able to overcome, was, as to the direction of the Leatoed Judge respecting the publication of th.! I.b •I in the county of Leicester. 'I We was a technical objection beyond all doubt. not at ad int •rfcrine with the met is of the t as. ; bi t w tether a technics o'jecti in or nit, it wi.s such an eke: on, as upon the etosi careful consideration, he was able to get over. He should be falling from that whir'. washis duty as a Judge, if be did not avow that opit h 0 t, and give the def, n lent the full benefit of it w 'stem - it Wight he. It appeared to him that there was no pir a facie case smile out, from which the presumption could Le drawn ti a. the libel had been published in any rational sense, iu the county of Leicester. he fully admitted the right to presume guilt from Wla once establi, he 1 ; but here there were no facts p.•.(el which could justify such a presumption. It was the duty of the brusetutors to have goose much farther; they . should have called Mr. Ilickersteth to suppl y tLe deficient link in the chain of evidence , in order to show under what circumstances the libel was delivered to hien by the defendant. Without, therefore, considering the question whether the fact of putting away a sealed le:ter, was in law a publication, be was of opinion that the defendant was entitled to have had the circumstances left to the Court by the Learned Judge, put into the shape of a suecial verdict, in order that he might have the benefit of a writ of error. This be was deprived of, and on this ground he thought the case ought to go before another Jury. lint lie was not at present rill , pared to say, that the mere fact of patting a sealed letter into the Post Office was a publication. This was at least a doubtfal point, and the cases upon which the 'posit on was toimued were Nisi Pries decisions, and had net .r undergone a solemn review. His objection tto tbe v otliet, however, did not stop here. It appeared to h!tn that publisiting **l weltAngt. WI( one ratite offeoce, and consetinently that proof of writing eery efl t 1 eices•ershire, would not be sufficient to give a Jury of that county cognisance of the offence. This was his opiniun, atter the best consideration. He could see av distinction between misdemeanours and feloni s is the application of this principle; and after his Lordship had gone through au elaborate examination of the cases upon thi4 subject, he expressed himself clearly of opinion that the defendant was entitled to a new trial. The majorityof the Court being therefore against the application, the rule for a new trial was discharged. The SOLICITON-OKNIKA I then rose and said, that the Counsel fur the Crown having dispensed with th.• attendance of the defendant during the discussion of the motion for a new trial, it probable would not be ex pected that he should be called up . fur judgment this Term, not having had any notice upon the subject. The Cutler 3VIFITICR-111 was so understood, and there fore he cannot be called upon this Term. THE DAKIAG KKSCUB GANG. • 4 v t• .0 • j
