THE STATESMA Review.) . Measures have been taken to convene a meeting of the friends of the Spanish cause, to consider of the best means to promote a subscription for their assistance. The meeting takes place at the White Swan while this paper is printing. If we could devise any one set of terms that could convey with more force than another the strong sense we entertain of the atrocity of the principle of the French aggression, and the dreadful consequences hereafter to result from it. such language we would adopt. But as we know that every honourable mind feels the impression, we hope the most strenuous exertions will be employed to assist a cause the most righteous that ever clAitned the aid of a generous and free people.—(Nor wick Mercury.) A petition hiss been circulated throughout this city, praying the House of Commons to abolish those restric tions which operate to the prejudice of the working classes, in like msnner as it has been thought fit to re• p al those which have been considered as operating in their favour—and a similar one in the neighbourhood of Wymondhstn. The former has been already signed b 67i14,and the latter by 1198 persons (Norieidafcreury) We hear that a public meeting will be held at Lewes, on Tuesday, for the purpose of opening a subscription for the Spaniards.—(Brighton Herald.) RZLIIII O OF THE SPANIARDS.—SOME Gentlemen met yesterday at Dempsey's, Sackville-street, to consider on the best mode of aiding the cause of Spanish independ once, as far as may be practical in Ireland, with its limited means and impoverished people. Sir Charles Morgan having been called_ to the Chair, a desultory conversation took place, when-it was agreed to publish an advertisement to invite the friends of the freedom of Spain to bold a preliminary Meeting on Tbersday next, at four o'clock, to take the subject into further consideration.—(Dabris Morning Post.) On Thursday there vas a meeting of the Inhabitants of Hammersmith, in the Parish Church, to propose a subscription" to aid the efforts of the patriotic Spani ards." Dr. Bowling and others handed in lists of sub. scriptions which they had already received ; they also put down their five and three sovereigns each, at the same time remarking, that they had previously forwarded like sums to the London Subscription. Nothing buts' Gold" was put down and most of those subscribers who handed in lists said, that many friends waited the result of the Meeting to subscribe " a sovereign" each at least eigainst the sovereigns." , „ • BIEtROPOLIIII ITI L I:tAII.Y . INSITILIrON: I I'. ll *" .* Tatum Diluter dans respoltiable literary establishment took place yesterday evening at the London Coffee-lionee, Ludgate-hill. ,Ahlennan Venables in the Chair. About 10 . 4 itdi*emen Fete present. After aó excellent dinner, and after the usual p toasts h ad. been given, the Qumran rose, and observed that be had great pleasure in rising to propose a toast, which , needed not any inducement that he could offer to secure to it a favourable reception from the respectable company around him; he alluded to the success of the Institution for which all prt sent felt deeply interested. He looked upon this establishment as one, which, as it would reflect honour upon the City of London, could not but elicit thd 'support bf the opulent literari of that great metropolis. Some might object, that commerce and literature could not be conjunctive, but be was one of those who thought that our youth should be encouraged to seek the rational amusements of literature as a wholesome relaxation from their commercial labours; both should flourish together, for never had the commerce of Italy attained so elevated& character as at the period when its literary supremacy was universally admitted.He was aware that there was already a most respectable institution, with the same view, in the City, but it did not possess a library of circulation, and the Metropolitan was thus possessed of an advantage that must insure its success. Liverpool, Birmingham. and Manchester bad long boasted of similar establish ments, and he could not doubt but that the City of Lon. don world folly appreciate the great accession of literary character which would be given to it by the success and permanency of the " Metropolitan Literary Institution."l The toast was drank with three times three, amid reit* , rated cheers from all present, which having subsided, The CRAiRMAN rose to propose the health of a gentle man to whom the friends of the institution were mainly indebted for its establishment, the extensive patronage already possessed, and the literary eminence it had in so short a time attained; be alluded to their Honorary Se cretary, James Jennings, Esq.—(Three times three, and great applause.) Mr. JCNNIN66, in returning thanks,congratulated the Society on the fair prospect which lay before them. The citizens of London, in rallying round them, bad proved that they duly appreciate the value and importance of Literary Institutions, both as private and individual con veniences, and as a great public good. The extraordi nary diffusion of knowledge during the present century, would, he was convinced, unquestionably lead to results of infinite importance to the bsppiness of mankind. In this diffusion our Literary Institutions, he observed, have had no inconsiderable share, and he confidently hoped that the Metropolitan Literary Institution, the au spicious commencement of which they had that day met socially to commemorate, would be one of the foremost in such good work; that it would become an ornament to the City of London, and a conspicuous example of the mind and intelligence of her citizens. The CSAIRMAN observed, that the Metropolitan Insti tution was also greatly indebted to the gentlemen who had already delivered courses of lectures in the rooms of the Establishment which were eally characterised by natural ability, scientific researc h, and sound argument; it was therefore with great pleasure that he proposed the healths of " Messrs. Wood, M'lntyre, Gurney, and Jen nings," with three times three. The Gentlemen, whose healths were then drank, seve rally expressed their acknowledgements, and promised the continuance of their exertions to promote the objects of the association ' • and Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney added that, if be should be so fortunate as to make any • fur ther chyrnical discoveries, be would most assuredly avail himself of the Metropolitan Institution as an honourable medium of communication with the scientific portion of the public. Tie health of Richard Clark, Esq. the Chamberlain of London, and of G. B. Whittaker, Esq. the Sheriff Elect, were then given, after which these gentlentee returned their thanks, as did Mr. Under-Sheriff Clark, on the toast that was given respecting the visitors. 1 1 The CHAIRMAN then observed, that havin been appointed' one of the Stewards of the day, he would willingly have transferred the honours of the chair to their worthy Chief Magistrate, who, he was happy to say, was also a member of the Metropolitan Institution. As this, however, had been overruled, he had now to propose the health of Mr. Saunders and the Stewards, with thanks to them for their attention. Mr. SAUNDERS, after acknowledging in appropriate lan guage his sense of the honour conferred upon hint and his brother Stew's ds, reed a list of 21 volunteer stewards for the ensuing year, among whom we noticed the names of Sheriff-elect Whittaker, Ald. Key, Deputy Routh, and Att wood Smith, Esq. JADES Senowtca, Esq. (Chairman of the Commissioners of Stamps) proposed "the Stewards Elect." Attwood Smith, Esq. shortly returned thanks.At abt ten o'clock the worthy Chairman left the room in company ou with the Cham berlain, Mr. J. Millard, and several other gentlemen, amid considerable applause. Mr. Sheriff-elect Whittaker was then called to the Chair, under whose auspices the hilarity and good humour of the company was maintained until a late hour. Mr. Pearman, with ab le assistants, promoted the harroonery of the evening. • Mr. Gurney here referred to his valuable inocution of the chemical blow pipe. SPITALVIELDS Am.—The Lords' Committee, ap pointed to hear evidence, in the Old House of Lords,for and against the Silk Manufacture Bill to repeal the Spitalfields Acts," on Thursday and Friday pursned their labours from twelve till four o'clock each day, re ceiving evider.:e adduced on behalf of the Journeymen against the Bill. Lord Bexley was in the chair. Dur ing those days there were examined Edward Jones, fore man to Messrs. Wilts and Rowley; Peter Keefe, journey man weaver, residing in Spitalfields; James Baker, operative weaver, same place; Isaac 6rosjean, journey man weaver, Bethnal-green, where he had lived up wards of fifty years ; John Carter, Esq., town clerk of Coventry ' • Richard Bennett, master - manu f actu rer, in Spitalfields, where he hid been in trade upwards of thir ty-two years ; George Bott, master-manufacturer in the silk trade. Spitalfields ; Thomas Holt, weaver of Spiral , fields t Wm. Webb, operative weaver, of the same place; Joseph Racine, master-manufacturer; and John Bal lance, master silk-manufacturer, of Coventry. Their Lordships adjourned till Monday, (this day) at noon, when the examination of witnesses will be re sumed. It will be perceived that, amongst those already examined, there were several " journeymen" and .. operative weavers;"—we are, of course, precluded from giving any account of their evidence. The Jour neymen's case is not yet closed ; and then there will be evidence in support of the Bill ; after which the evi dence will beeprioted--so that a postponement of the Bill till next Session is very confidently spoken of. The ceremony of consecrating the New Parish church of Poplar, will take place on Thursday by the Bishop of London. The Assizes for this County will commence on Wed nesday, the 13tb, and not the 20th of August, as stated in tnlr last. As some other alterations have been made in the times of opening the commissions of assize on the Northern circuit, we give the following corrected state ment: York, Saturday, July 12; Durham S a t ur d a y, July 36 ; Carlisle, J u ly 26 ; Nen castle, Wednesday, Tuesday, August 5 ; Appleby, Saturday, August 9 ; Lan caster, Wednesday, August 13.—(Liverpool Advertiser.) PORI 1.16 AL A. 4. -7 • • 4: 1116-. a THE CORTES.—SITTING Or JUNE 2. After some communications respecting the tranquil state of the capital, and one from Senor thseniroraltni ster of State, with a copy of his letter to his Majesty, re signing his functions. • M. B. CASNRIRO proposed that the Cortes should suspend their sittings till the permanent deputation should convoke them again, so that they should not be considered - as dissolved, and that they should make a pro test to be entered on the Journals. Senor MOURA said—" Gentlemen, the situation in which we are placed is most deplorable and melancholy. The nation desires Constitutional liberty ; it shcws this cleatly by the manner in which it has supported its Re presentatives; they have answered to the confidence that was placed-in them; the military power, instead of merely supporting (as it did in 152.0), dictates the law. In consequence it may be said that every thing is lost except the honour of the nation, and the honour of its Repre sentatives, as a French Monarch once said of a great loss." After some further observations on the present crisis,l he said the only question was, whether to resist or yield, considering that in all cases where political enthusiasm has led the inhabitants of an open city to oppose regular troops, the result is always a useess shedding of blood. He supported M. Borges Carneiro's motion, to separate without dissolving the Assembly, and to sign a Protest, which was agreed to as follows : DECLARATION AND PROTEST. " The Representatives of the Portuguese nation, now as sembled in the Extraordinary Cortes, finding themselves de prived of the Executive Power which might carry into effect 'any of their decrees, and destitute of an armed force, declare themselves in a situation which makes it impossible for them to perform the functions of their office for the objects for which they were convoked ; and as the continuation of their Sittings might lead to the danger of the nation, being less afflicted in the persons of its Representatives, without the hope of any public advantage, they interrupt their Sittings till the permanent Deputation, which continues in the exer cise Of its functions, or the President of the Cortes shaft think tit to assemble the Deputies—thus protest, in the name of their Constituents, against any alteration or modification that may be made in the Constitution of the year 1822. " Lisbon, Palace of the Cortes, June 2, 1923." This was signed by all the Deputies present, and ordered to be left with the permanent deputation to be signed by any other members who might think fit. Mr. Rekencourt presented a letter from Mr. Moors, which stated that he was rendered incapable by a sudden Indis position. Mr. Derramada protested against the conclusion of the protest. LISBON, JUNE 4.—The Diario contains a letter from the Councillor of State, Jose Ferrara Borges, to his Majesty, stating that he had embarked for England on board the Duke of Marlborough Packet. The same paper contains a Proclamation from his Ma jesty, in which he mentions the defects of the Constitution, and says he will give the nation a constitution which shalt make the nation happy, and shall proscribe those principles, which experience has shewn, to be incompatible with the durable tranquillity of the State. LisnoN, JCNE s.—His Majesty has to day made his entry into this capital, amidst the most ardent demonstrations of public joy. Te Desist, on account of this happy event, was performed in the Church of St. Dominick, by his Majesty's orders, who went there, accompanied by the Infant D. Mi guel, and their Royal Highnesses the Princesses, amidst re peated acclamations. His arrival was announced by a sa lute from the castle, and from the men of war in the har bour, which displayed their colours. This august and reli gious ceremony was attended by the principal civil, military and ecclesiastical authorities, as well as by a great numbs of public functionaries and citizens, of all classes. After divine service his Majesty returned to his palace at Rem posts by the street Ourives do Orno Roico, and with load acclamations from the populace, who took the horses from his Majesty's carriage, and drew it to the palace. The troops which had been placed since nine in the morning in the Roico and the adjacent streets, with Don Miguel at their head, accompanied his Majesty both go ing and returning, after which they went to their respec tive quarters altering repeated acclamations. The great est tranquillity was preserved during the day in oven , part of the city ; in the evening there was a general ilk mination. Thus ended this day, and which we flatter ourselves with seeing the peace and concord which have continually existed consolidated, on which all good Por tuguese must sincerely congratulate themselves. Ltsnow, JUNE 9.—A Supplement to the Gazette of Lisbon, of the 7th, contains a Decree, signed by his Ma jesty, and dated, Villa Franca, June 2, revoking the De crees of the 4th of December, 1522, against the Queen (which his Majesty says he was compelled to sign with great sorrow) and reinstating her Majesty in all the civil and political rights as a Portuguese citizen, and in her Royal dignity. His Majesty, almost immediately on his arrival at Villa Franca, wrote to, the Queen, to acquaint her with what had happened, and expressing his desire to see her re stored to her family, declaring that - the distance, and his fatigues alone, hindered him from visiting her Majesty immediately. After the above mentioned Decree passed, the infant Don Miguel was sent by his father, to present this important document to her Majesty, on which she resolved to return to Quelez • but as her Majesty could n ot remove there till to - d ay, and bad to return to Ramalhao, because the necessary preparations for her re turn could not be made, the King went to Ramalhao, to visit her Majesty, and to congratulate her on the hap py event which restored her to her family. We learn that by the grief which overwhelmed your Majesty's Royal heart they took the glorious resolution to recognise the happy Go cerement of your Majesty, restoring your Royal person and that of your august and virtuous Consort to the legitimate righ'-fi of which you have been perfidiously despoiled. " Called in consequence to exercise provisionally the fonctioas specified in the Certificate, which we likewise lay before your Majesty, we are going immediately to enter on the exercise of them, with the firm hope of meriting the ap probation of your Majesty, and of justifying the confidence placed in us. " Gov preserve the precious life of your Majesty, as we desire, and as is necessary for the whole nation. his Majesty hie just issued a Decree, ordering all the property and regalia to be restored to his august Consort, which she enjoyed as Queen. FROM OPORTO. " Smemon—With the most profound respect we place in your Majesty's Royal hand a copy of the Act which was drawn up on this memorable day, and applauded with pull. tic demonstrations of true patriotism by the loyal inhabit ants of this city.

The following are the names of the Ministers appoin • - -•=-,---- MEETING AT ABERDREN IN AID Utt' THE GREEKS. A Meeting took place at Aberdeen on Friday, lit ' 1 l ut Dempster's Hotel, for the above urpose, when • A L EX A NDER BANNERMAN, . was unanimously called to the Chair, and opened the usiness of the Meet ing. He had already received several contributions, owe among others, be was happy to acknoifleke that of one of the Members of . Marischal College—and it was with pleasure that he , noticed the presence, mantis occa sion, of the Principal of that University. lie then read the Resolutions and Address of the London Committee, which were loudly applauded. Mr. P. BANNERMAN, Advocate, proposed the Resolu tions, which set forth, that the Greeks were now engaged in the third year of a war for the recovery of their liberty —that it was the duty of every Christian community to promote their success,and that a Committee be appointed to communicate with the London Committee, and to pro mote subscriptions. Mr. GORDON, of Cairness, then rose and said, that, after %that had passed, lie felt it incumbent on him to make a few observations, in seconding the Resolutions, and he regretted that the subject had not fallen into abler hands. He said, " Yon are perhaps all aware, Gentle men, that this is not a cause in which a state has embark ed to acquire a greater number of subjects, or a greater extent of territory. It is a struggle of a hole and brave people, possessed of all the energy and courage which ennoble man, taking up arms, resolved to perish, rather than submit to the inhuman and barbarous inroads of the Terks." Mr. Gordon then entered into an animated and glowing description of ancient Greece. We regret that it is impossible for us to give even a faint outline of the substance and brilliancy of Mr. Gordon's speech, which, throughout, was received with loud plaudits. Never bad any nation, he said, or set of people, been placed in so perilous a situation as the Greeks had been. They had been opposed by wealth—fleets of regularly armed ships —armies and stores of every kind; while they, on the tidbir hand, had only a few small merchant vessels, and the bravery of their own countrymen to protect them. — Under all those circumstances, he need hardly say, that at the outset of the contest, no man could have contem plated the victorious career the Greeks have run. or can conjecture what they are yet able to do. He himself was satisfied that the result would be different from what was expected (he would not say wished for) by some, but he thought that, from what be had seen and known of Greece, it would soon be almost completely freed front the Turks. Mr. Gordon then said, that the Greeks had im plored assistance from this and other free countries, but, in high places it had been treated with indifference and aversion •, but lam happy, said he, that, in my native country, I see a different disposition. If, by the assistance of this country. the Greeks shall succeed in their race for their liberty, independence, and religion, we shall have cause to rejoice, and, if they fail, we shall have the satis faction of thinking that they did not fall ingloriously.— Wha'ever may be the issue of the contest, the friends of the Greeks can honestly take merit to themselves that, at all events, they have done all in their power. Mr. G. said, lie would have here concluded, if lie had not heard it said in certain quarters, that the Greeks were as bad as the Turks, and that they had been guilty of many acts of per fidy and cruelty. Now, be would venture to say, that every men who knew him, would be the last to suppose that be was capable of vindicating any improper conduct on the part of the Greeks. or any other nation. But he denied the truth of the assertion to such au extent as had been made npon that subject. It must be well known (said he) • that, In a war of that description, eihen a whole country is attempted to be pet to the sword, that the war cannot be tarried on according to those nice feelings of honour which have always distinguished the troops end inhabitants of this country. Every thing went to extenuate or alleviate the conduct of the Greeks in each a cense. They were no com mon or ordinary sufferers. They had personal wrongs to avenge—they had been threatened with extermination, and whenever an opportunity offered, the willingness to execute the threat had been manifested by the sacrifice of victims. The Greeks were, no doubt, justly enraged at the conduct of the Turks, in putting to death, impaling, and burning their friends and relatives ; and he would express an opinion whether the law of retaliation had been carried too far.— Mr. Gordon sat down amidst immense applause. The Chairman then again put the Resolutions to the vote of the Meeting, which were carried unanimously. After which a Committee was named, consisting of Sir Alexander Bannerman, Bart., Mr. Garioch. Mr. Gordon of Cairness. Mr. Forbes of Balgownie, Mr. ft. Ahercombie, Par. P. Bannerman, Major Leith Hay, Dr. Kerr.—Mr. Alex ander Bannerman, Chairman. TOR GREEKS AND THE SPANIARDS.-0. T.

" PROCLAMATION OF TIIE REGENCY OP TIM KINGDOM . TO THE SPANIARDS. " Sear/1/.llos I--The Regency addresses itself to you in the excess of its most poignant grief, not to excite the constant loyalty of your hearts, be- , ,se the Spa. niards cannot cease to be faithful to the , :91:1 of our Fa ther, and to our beloved Sovereign ; but to assuage the bitterness of its affliction or yours, at the sight of the evils which may ensue from the melancholy situation in which the perfidious enemies of the country have placed us. " Yon are witnesses of the forbearance, the mildness, the indulgence, with which the partisans of irrelig ion, licentiousness, and anarchy, have been treated. Yon have, it is true, sometimes deplored the impunity which men so criminal enjoy in all places ; and the Regency would even have feared scenes calculated to cause scan dal, if, convinced of your wise patriotism, it bad not known that you were acquainted with the motive of its so mild and tolerant conduct. It must be said frankly, this motive was, the liberty of the King and of his au. gust family. " Spaniards, you know it,eur legitimate and adored So vereign has been deprived of the throne of his fathers.— So horrible a crime has been committed to revenge the heroic answer of the Monarch, to the proposal to remove him to Cadiz—an answer,the words of which ought to be written on marble and brass. They will be the finest or nament of history for many ages, and they will always be engraved on the hearts of all Spaniards. " My conscience, and the interest of my subjects, do not permit me to leave this place. As an individual, or a private person, L should see no inconvenience in remov ing to another place; but, as a King, my conscience does not permit me to do ea.' " lo speaking thus, Ferdinand has manifested hi; great soul and his love of his people. A Regency, named by the most furious demagogues, has been the consequence of so much heroism : and Ferdinand and his Consort, and all the Royal Family, have been violently transfened to Cadiz ;—where that act destructive of Religion and the Monarchy arose. There the Mc porch now is a prisoner ; there is the Royal Family ; and can there be a Spaniard who can see such an event n ith out indignation and without horror. " Spaniards! Your Government confesses that it can find no expression fit to paint so horrible a crime; your —meat feels itself reduced to the eloquence of silence. The Regency of the Kingdom confounded, it is true, by se treat a crime, will not neglect to take, and it has taken firm and energetic measures to punish its authors, ' and to remedy the evils caused by the implacable enemies of GOD and of the Monarch. Prudence and tritely will govern all its resolutions. You will cooperate in so just an object, by confiding in your Government , which wi l l unremittingly pursue those whose infernal rage has filled oar hearts with mourning.'. WEECLY RIAISTILIC OF WELTH.R. The last week com menced with as gloomy a sky and as harsh an atmosphere as i ever were experienced n the month of June; and Monday was as cheerless as Sunday. Towards night, however, there were some symptoms of the wind removing from the north-east quarter, in which it bad so long and uncomfort wy continued; end Tuesday and Wednesday were miler, with the wind at South - west . On Wednesday evening , fell a shower which had bees for some time desired by the gardeners about town; and on Friday afternoon there was a very severe thunder-storm, accompanied with heavy hail. The lightning damaged a house in Whitechapel. without de stroying any of the inhabitants; but the hail killed a great number of young rooks in Essex. On Saturday, also, there were thunder showers ; and yesterday afternoon there was another thunder storm, with hail, which fell, about the mid dle of the Stratd, in unusual quantities, and with uncom mon violence. Both that and the storm of Friday were, however, very circumscribed. The quantity of mill nod melted hail fallen here since Saturday siennight, amounts to one ineb and a half. Strand, JUill SO.
