- -.. ANSWERS OF THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT TO TIE NOTES or THE AIi•ASISADOIS OF //LANCE, AUSTRIA, PIVE/14, AND LUSIIA. --smillea— On the 9th inst. the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs stated to the Cortes that the government had received from the Courts I,fParis, Vienna. Berlin, and St. Petersburg communications, to which it has jut replied in the manner which seemed to it most convenient, and most analogous to the national decorum. He then ascended the tribene,and read the note communi cated by the French Governraent. He afterwards read the reply of the Spanish Government to that note, which Was conceived in tbe following terms:— TO THE MINISTER, PLENIPOTENTIARY OF HIS MAJESTY AT PARIS, he.

Russia, and Austris, and said: " The Government of his Majesty has considered that it was neither becoming nor just to reply to these Notes, be tame they are full of invectives, calumnies, and suppositious directed, not precisely against the nation, but against those who govern, and against the individuals who have co-operat ed to Oaf regeneration. " The Government of his Majesty, having knowledge of the conteoto of these Notes, has thongbt it becoming, (re serving. however., the right to publish its principles and the justice of its ca‘ise in a sincere exposition of the history of Our RetOlUtion), to declare. in the most decided tone, that it a Ather recognises, in any manner. the right of intervention, nor admits the necessity for any foreign Cabinet to meddlo with its affairs.

Yesterday, the General Committee, appointed to pro mote a Meeting of the county of York, to take into coo videration the propriety of presenting a petition to the Legislature, for a Reform in the Commons House of Parliament, assembled at 12 o'clock, at Etridge's Hotel, in York. in order to form the preliminary arrange ments for the meeting, convened by the. High Sheriff to be held on Wednesday next. Lord Milton and sere ral other members of Parliament were present. The dis. cussing were continued for several hours, with the tit. most cordiality and good understanding, and the tone and spirit of the proceedings meant to be submitted to the meeting are such as cannot fail to be satisfactory to everyfriend to the cause of Reform. The Resolutions will. we understand, be moved by 11r. Fawkee, the zealous and able advocate of Parliamentary Reform, to whom the country is indebted for having contributed so essentially to arouse them from that state of apathy into which they had fallen previous to the movements that were made in Yorksbire.—(Lecda Mercury, Janu fay 13.) The North and East Ridings of Yorkshire are suffer ing their full share of agricultural distress; and we have unquestionable authority for saying, that at some of the late rent audits the landlords have not received more than 10 per cent. upon their reduced rents. The large farmers are in a more deplorable state than the small ones, and the rents best paid are for farms not esceeding a hundred acres—and for thie.simple reason there the farmer himself and his family do the princi imi part of the work , and h e h as littl e to p a y f or labour. Atm facts 'pay serve to set the landlords a tbinkiog.— (Ibid.) • A SHIPPING INTEMIURNCE. MAL, Jaat. 20.—Arrived and sailed for the River, the Max.

The Selsker, Hill, from Lisbon to Portsmouth, is wrecked at North Reist ; the crew and a great part of ha cargo saved. a Earl Bathurst arived in town yuterday for the season, and afterwards tranaute.kbaslaus at his Gies le Dawning Street, We have heard with pleasure that the Committee for =s oaping the collection for the sufferers by earthjeake inSyria; bare already forwarded a second sum of 1,0001. to their tree. sorer at Constantinople, to augment the credit aforesaid for Mr. Consul Barker to draw upon from Syria. By letters received yesterday from Halifax, bearing date to the 4th ult. we learn that considerable spprebeasloo* were entertained there for the safety of the October packet from Falmouth to that port. This vessel is the Bootee poiliet, *Mahlon Falmouth for Halifax ow the 16th of Oete bei het; and had Sot arrived at her destination up to the dare' of As Sd. nit, although she was considerably over His Majesty is said.to have given the Royal Library, collected by the late King, to the British Museem.— This splendid gift is mid to have bee, accompanied with as autograph letter to the Earl of Liverptioloht his cha racter of tryst°. of this national establishment. The library -consists of 90.400 volumes historical and geographical part (especially the Atlasses) is parties lady valuable. Whes the late King come to the throne, there was not a single volume: be bought the whole 90,000 out of his privy nurse. The following Ministerial changes have, we under. staid, been determined on t—Mr. Brugge Bathurst re. tires. Mr. Vansittart takes the Duchy of Lancaster Mr. Frederick Robinson is to have the Chancellorship of the Eatetequer; and Mr. Heskisson is to succeed Mr. Robinson as President of the Board of Trade. Other changes will, of course, be necessary.—(Atornag CAroniek.) COUNTs MIICTING.—That this once proud country, should have been reduced by misgovernment to its pre sent state of distress did at one time appear incredible to easy people, though the thing was as certain to happen, as effects to follow their causes. Foreigners are now able to appreciate the extent of British misery.— The Petition of the Norfolk meeting aseetiatins the at test of the evil. Nothing but the severest *offering amid have driven that meeting to adopt the recommen dation of measures which would merely relieve the pre sent sufferers, by shifting their butheos, with accents lated weights to the shoulders of others. Oh ! that the people of Norfolk, the Tory met! of Norfolk, had twine forward In time, before itaffering bad driven them from their propriety: and may the example ol this extravagance urge every county in the kingdom to steal the twee of anarchy which certainly is about to overwhelm us, if redrew of grievances be not pro duced by Parliamentary Reform. Experience shews us that nothing else can check Ministerial extravagance — at Court, in the country, and in the colonies, which preys on the vitals of the country. The ministers must, as the house is constituted, grant almost any thing, that is demanded, to men who nominate members; and in this respect, nothing would be gained by a change of ministry, if the new ministry were ever so well inclined ; —to keep themselves in place they would rather have to make fresh jobs to purchase additional support. It is with pleasure we Inform our readers, that this comity is about to come forward in the work of reform; that a requisition to the High Sheriff, to call a county meet. ing to petition the House of Commons for a reform id that House of Parliamen-, is in a course of signature; and we would fain hope,reduced although the yeomanry of Cumberland are, from their once flourishing condi tion, that they retain spirit to bring them to the bust. legs, and to sound in the ears of their oppressors the eternal truth that liberty and property flourish and de cay together.—(Carlisle Journal..) AGRICULTURAL DISTRICM—A requisition has been presented to the High Sheriff of Carmulbensbire, to convene a meeting of the nobility, gentry, and free. holders of the county, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament to adopt measures for relieving the agriooltsral lister Sat from the great distress under which they at present labour. The meet ing will take place on the 28th inst.—(BrisMl Mercury.) Turnas.—The Award in the long depending reference between the Rector and Vicar, and the Parish Offi cers of Burwasb, in this county, was confirmed at the Quarter Sessions of the Peace, hoiden hese on Friday last, and the rate made for the relief of the poor of that parish, on the 16th day of September last, ordered to be emended, by reducing the Rent of the Cheat and Small Tithes, from 9121. 14s. 6d. to 5001. and the rate to bantered accordingly. This confirms the long es. tablished practice of rating all property in a parish at rents which they are worth to let by the year to indif ferent tenants, clear of all parochial taxes.—(Serer Ad vertiser.) The town of Boras, in Sweden, was destroyed by fire ea the 20th ult. It had contained more than 2,000 in habitants, and only twenty houses were spared by the devouring element. The legacies bequeathed by Bonaparte to several persons is France, amounting to four millions of francs, were to be paid from funds deposited with Lafitte the Banker, previous to Buonaparte's second abdication. The money was vested in the hands of the French oo %liniment, until permission to pay the legacies was ob tained from the Ouardians of young Napoleon and of his mother, the ex-Empress. That permission, it is said, having been given, the legacies have been paid to the parties. Mr. Abernethy, it is avid, has addressed a letter to the Secretary of Slate, on the absolute nuessity of re pealing the late Act of Parliament which subjects resur rection men (as they are called) to severe punishment for violating the sanctity of the tomb. Under the torment re strictions dead bodies are become very scarce in London. and some of the dissecting rooms are absolutely without an adult subject. By the Freeman's Journal of Thursday, we learn that a meeting, called in the county of Cavan, to address the Lord Lieutenant on the late outrage, was dissolved by the vio lence of the Orange party, without coming to a vote on the address. The small pox has for a considerable time pest committed dreadful ravages in this city; and we regret to state, that although the benefit of vaccluatiou Is offered gratis to those who cannot afford to pay for it. such is the unfounded pre judice still existing against that admirable remedy, that numbers are at the present moment suffering under this loathsome disease. On Sunday last, ill persons were buried in M. Michael's dumb-yard, who had died of sioall-poz.— (Coventry Mercu ry.) TH STA'IUMAN: THE WEATHER. The rigodr of the frost very rapidly increased between Saturday and Sunday morning. On Saturday morning at eight o'clock, the the r mometer in the Str a nd, f ront which our reports are taken, stood at 29: and en Sunday at the same boor it was at 12. This was a degree to which it bad not sunk for many years, and was the ino,re rensarable as the wind had at that time turned round to the south west ; but we are Informed, by an old and accurate observer (Mr. Cary, of the Strand) that, about twohttid twenty years ago, when the thermometer fell to 4iffeits, the wind was in the same quarter. The extrime de }free of cold, during the pre ceding night, as we have ascertained from night ther mometers, kept by Mr. Jones, was but little lower. A thermometer of that kind, at hie house, at ebarieg cross, stood at 11 degrees, and another, at his house, at South Lambeth, stood at 10 degrees. A third, at Pentonville, we are assured, was so low as se ven, and, a morning paper, with the accuracy of whose information we are, of course, unacquainted, states the degree to which the mercury fell at East Orin stead, to have been fire. At a futere opportunity, we shall take occasion to show, from the beat authorities we can consult, the low degrees at which the thermometer bas been observed, for the last half century. In the mean time, we can state, that the lowest degree we have within that period, is from an observation of die Rev. Gilbert White, of Selborne, whose accuracy and fldeHty were well known to every naturalist. In the summary of the weather, from the year 1768 to 1793, annexed *obis Natural History of Selborne, it is recorded, that on Masher 10, 1784, the thermometer was 1 degree Wow, 0. On Sunday, the thermometer, in the Strand, to which we have referred was as follows : At eight o'clock, 12 ; at one, 24 ; and at eleven at night, 18. Yesterday, at eight, 20 ; at ten, when it might have been exp ected to rase, as the day h a d advanced, only 18; at one, 4; and at eleven, 30. This day, at eight, 30; and at one, 32 •, with the mer cury In the barometer rising, and indicating some change in the atmosphere. Accounts from Palls. from the 19th Inst. state that the Seine bad been frozen over, and that the weather had been far mere severe, and the changes more madden and extraor dinary than In this country-. A private letter from Paris says. that on Tuesday last Reaumur's thermometer was 12 41qtreee below the freezing point, (or between 6 and 7 of Fa he ll) and the river appeared a field of solid lee ; whilst on the very next day the Mercury was only one degree below the freezing point, and the river bad begun to any. PROVINCIAL ACCOUNTS OF THE WEATHER. (vlOll Tat wasT BRITON.) Within the present week, the winter has set in with greater severity than has been remembered is this county for several years. In the early part of the week. there was a fall of snow, since which there has been a hard frost. The communicatioas between the different towns have not, however, become materially interrupted, aid the mails have hitherto arrived with more regularity than mid well be expected in the state of the roads. (FROM Tat BRISTOL lIIIIRCURT.) A poor lase, whose support was from selling matches, sad the casual relief of the humane. was a few days past band deed in an oat-home belonging to a farm near Chepstow. His death is supposed to have been occa sioned by the want of sustenance and extreme cold. (PROM Tea Sussex ADVILITNIRR.)-•-EXTRACT On a Ltrass 1/11911 KUTIOPRNII, JANUAR! 17rn, 1523. Fier many years we hare not experienced so great a fall of snow as on Monday and Tuesday last, and there being little or no wind, the snow fell without drifting ; bat on the nista of Teesday, the wind blowing pretty fresh. caused the snow to drift, so as to render the roads in many places impassable. The mail cart, on its arrival on Wednesday morning, though within a very short distance of the post, was obliged to take a circuitous route before it could reach its destination. “ The snow, in many places between here and Will ingdon, it was found necessary to cut through, and some gentlemen in a post chaise, travelling the lower road from Hailsham, were under the necessity of procuring a farmer's team to drag them through a large drift; we are, however, happy so add, that we have beard of no accidents." [FROIA TEE CARLISLE JOURNAL.] • The slight indications of ice, and showers of small hail, alluded to in our last, have since Increased to a se verse and settled frost, with much snow: which on Sun day night began to descend slightly, but accumulated little before Wednesday and Thursday, when a heavy tall took place, by which the earth has been deeply co vered, in many places to the depth of two feet, and the roads so obstructed, that on Thursday the London mai was two hours, and yesterday above five hours lat r than usaal. At present the snow showers have entirely subsided, the bard frost continuing, with a clear and se rene sky, presenting a striking resemblance to a Cana dian winter, without the excessive cold of that severe climate. On Thursday morning, as the Edinburgh mail was on its way to Carlisle, the accumulation of snow near to Mosspaul occasioned the horses to stumble, when the coachman, endeavouring to recover them, slipped off the foot board, which was covered with ice, and falling on the rowl,the wheels of the coach passed over his legs. by which both Andes were dislocated. He now lies in this city, in a state of much suffering, but in a fair way of recovery. (PEON Till NEWCASTLE CHRONICLE.) After several days of threatening aspect, a severe storm of snow set in on Tuesday night, and has con tinged itith little intermission ever since, particularly daring Wednesday . night and Thursday. As this storm has been accompanied with a violent gale of wind from the eastward, the snow has beea so drifted as to render the roads in this neighbourhood nearly impassable. In the Northern part of the county they have been quite blocked op, the mail from Edinburgh, which should have arrived at 1 o'clock on Thursday, had not arrived at a late boar on Thursday night. After waiting till five o'clock on Thursday afternoon, the South wail was at that hour dispatched for York. The stoppage appears to he north of A Inn ick, as the coach from that town arrived about its usual tiuie.—The coaches from the south have been delayed somewhat beyond their usual time, but we understand they cape rienced little difficulty except on tlateshead Fell. The Exmouth, which slt , oyYlJ have arrived on Wednesday evening, did not arrive till mid-day of Thursday. The west mail also of Thursday hail not arrived at a late hoar on Thursday night. It is to be feared that we shall hear of severe disasters at sea, as many ships were, at the commencement of the gale, on the coast. Sonic of them have succeeded in putting back to Shields, but os Thursday, we understand, • large ship, distnasted, was seen riding between Tynemouth and and Culler coats. _ _ FRIDAT Monntso.—The snow cot.tinued to fall bee. vilyduriog the whole of last night. The Mail from the north arrived at a late hour, and one of the north coaches at three o'clock this morning. The wail from the south bad not arrived when this paper was pot to press.

Arrangements are made for the King leaving Brighton for London, a few days previous to the day appointed for the meeting of Parlia ment, to held a council, and to open the session of/de faming in state, by a speech from the Throne.
