The people are inquiring what has become of General Eliu, the most inveterate agent of the most cruel despotism ; and of M. Emits, Captain• General of Grenada, not less abhorred than his colleague. While Spain has been restored to this happy state of things, our stupid Consul at Bayonne has continued to publish and circulrte the• most absurd reports of the various defeats of the lithely, on the authority of letters said to have been received from Malaga, Madrid, Cadiz, Curogne, and Santander. To the details already given, respecting the members of the Provisional Junta, we are enabled to add the fol lowing:— M. de Mechuaean, Bishop of Valladolid, was particu larly odious to the Inquisition, who prevented the King from appointing him 31inister of Grace and Jmatire. M. de Larilizaliel was Member of the Supreme Tribunal established by the fortes: he is author of an esteemed work upon crimes and punishtuents. M. die Vali!mores, Prefect of Valencia in 1,414, was iserseented by Elio and other intriguers, who urged the King not to accept the Constitution. The Count de Taboada, ancient Counsellor, is also esteemed for his talents as well as his principles. Col. Sancho, still very young, excites the respect or even• one. M. Tarrins was Prefect of Avila tinder the fortes. 31. de Pegnele was at the same period Minister of disci el. 31. Crespo was one of the Deputies. This as , easlilage of omen dear to the nation is a most I.ivour.tbie augur•. American papers arrived this morning to the 29th February.—The following is an extract of a letter from St. Thomas's, dated Ist Fe4ruary : The grand expedition destined to the Ntaine hail not sailed from Marizaritta. 31arvatio Montilla is the Com mander in Chief of the force., who is an experienced othrrr, having served With Bonaparte. The expedition is Loom! for La linira. The army and naval squadron united will exceed 15,000 men, with stores, ■utmani nitiun, &e. tieneral Bolivar left 3largatitta some time since fur his head quarters on the Apnre. The next ac count, you may expect to hear of the final success of the Patriots, ant! the entire po.session of the Maine. Tl•is expedition has been raked and equipped, and will be in operation in les; than three months from its contemplation : tvh the great Cadiz armada, of which xa touch has been said, yet remains in Cadiz, and more than half its original force have fallen victims to the fever. witted to their decision, whenever those matters are connected, in the most remota deletes, *kb the object of their fears. In such cases, if justice be imperfectly done, the blame lies with those who, having it in their power to try the alleged offence in another county, choose the very place where opinion has manifested itself so strongly as scarcely to leave any doubt of the result. It is evi dent, from the admission of the upright Judge himself, that Sir Fitsarcts might set aside the verdict on the ground that the alleged offence had been couttuitted and ought to have been tried in Middlesex ; that if real justice had been intended on the part of the prosecutors,•! they would not have qui..teil the precincts of Westminster 11.10. There, however, then must rime at last; for the Honourable Baronet will, no dolib*, avail himself of the opinion delivered from the Bench, and move for as a of judgment. At a distance from all those irritating circnntstances which bias the minds of men, iniper reptibly to themselves, the result will, Ate trust, he widely different, and the country will have to rejoice, instead of tamrn•ini, that such a charge should have . been brought a_ainst her most able, most faithful, and most actiie Patriot. Whilst Revolutions are changing the fire of nations abroad, one, less sudden in its :aeration—less compre hensive in its nature, but not less certain in its results, is gradually, and almost ifspen eptibly, accomplishing its:•!f in this country. The minds ot• stern Irate expe .riesenal a great an.! important change. Deep-rooted parkediees and antipathies have creased to exist, though their extinction is yet too recent to be openly acknow le4lged ; fur consistency is still the COUI/011 idol, and m►en sunt:nua to preserve its attributes long after they have discarded its worship. Reform is nu longer the dread of the higher classes, though it may still re tuain the object of their misrepresentations. In their hearts they feel its necessity, and in their moments of sincerity and confidence, they confess it. They differ, it is true, as to the mettle and extent of its operation; but they declare that it ►venal hr alderman,; and that, in order to prevent the task f falling into other hands, they are u illing to become Reformers themselves. This is an important admission: little to be trusted till it shows itself beyond the secrecy of private assurances, and prroltices public and tangible results ; but important, because it reveals the constant and mighty progress of the good cause, and announces the certainty of its ulti mate triumph. If the truth of this assertion be doubted, on account of the of me:mores directed by the last Parliament against our liberties, we appeal us those very measures, as convincing proofs of the rapid advance of liberal and patriotic sentiments through the great mass of the fiction. For had not public opinion assumed a degree of unanimity alarming to the tools of corruption, they would not have thought it necessary to the existence of their system to pass hews of so desperate a character— laws which rend asunder the veil of policy so long and so artfully spread over the real nature of their designs, and expose thew to the worhi in all their nakedness and deformity. Neither would they have had. recourse to the unwise, but, iu a public sense, Arteriole expedients, in the laborious travail, and, as all England expects, cer eainaleortion of whirls they are now painfully and trent bli aptly engaged to. They wo aid Batt Lira WO& AIWA to dun getotil to he tried fur offences which they have not yet been able to prove by evidence. They would not hare ex pos'! the weakness of their cause to all mankind. 'I teey would not have deceived Parliament, by an assurance that inquiry into the Manchester transactions was not necessary, because the whole case would be investigated when the trial of the alleged conspirators %Imola take place, whereas evidence on that part of the subject, by far the most important, has been authoritatively re jected. lastly, they would not have attempted to wreak their vengeance on ar. individual, whose manly and patriotic spirit forms a distinguished, and therefore an offensive contrast with the weakness and servility of their own. They would not have made the just indig nation, which, not an Englishman alone, but every man worthy of the name of man, millet feel on hearing that multitudes of his peaceful brethren have fallen victims to their confidence in the strength of that C'oustitution by which they fancied themselves protected—they would nut have needle the first ungnanled, but natural espies ' stun of that indignation a• charge of sedition, and the ' object of a State prosecution : They would not have run SO decidedly counter to all the feelings of no), and the sense of their country. But strong necessity was upon them. Partial murmurings had ceased; the universal yoke rose in thunder, and t he universal indignation might strike in thunder too. The storm was awful. It rolled on the surface of our waters in darkness and in terrors. The powers of the State scented shaken t lout where could they look for support?—To a sincere and salutary union of interests with the people. This was the true remedy— , the impenetrable shield—the panacea of the times—but it was nut then to be thought of. Deleperate measures ap peared the only rocks of safrt•. They might break the concentration of the tempest, and once disunited, hawse ' dering masses might be easily repelled and dissolved. Desperate measures were therefore. adopted, and their I success appeared complete for a time. But they have created a new source of dangers. They served as auxiliaries to the weak at the hour of battle, but in that of triumph they are become their master". They have a re-action of their own ; and that re-action begins to be felt. The result of lluN T 5 trial, should even the ver , diet lathe Jury differ from that, which on reading the evidence the u hole nation leas already pronounced, will be the first blow struck at thepreseut system of men mid • , measures.

Repoli? oN CUltitENCY.—llt is believed that the evils which are felt in those sect' of the Union where the dis:ress is most general, will not he extensively relieved by the establishment of a national currency. The sufferings which have been produced by the efforts that have been made to resume and continue specie pay ments, have been great; they are not terminated, and must continue until the value of property, and the price of labour, shall resume that relation to the precious, metals which our wealth anti industry, compared with those of other States, shall enable us to retain. Until this shall be effected, an abortive attempt, by the sub stitution of paper Current'''. to arrest the evils we are suffering, will produce the most distressing conse quences. We gave at full length yesterday the irerortant trial, which has terminated in a verdict of Guilty against Sir FRANCIS DI:RI/ITT. It has grieved more than surprised the public. That in a county. lately the seat of disturbances, and, at this moment, under the operation of restrictive laws, a charge of seditious writing should be established by th• carscientions rye dist of a Jery, is neither astonishing ror unnatural. Jurors, whatever testy be their integrity, cannot totally discanl the feelings excited by the circumstances of agitation and alarm in the midst of which they have been placed. They see danger in every shadow, and hear a foe in every , sound.

This was an action brought by Andrew Fountain., Esq. against the defendant, who is a horse-dealer, to recover back the sum of being the price of a horse sold by the defendant to the plaintiff, which proved bi cions, and unfit to draw in double harness, the purpose for which the horse was purchased. The plaintiff also sought to recover the sum of 20/. 16s. 'JJ., being the horse's keep. It appeared in evidence, that the plaintiff, having lost one set his coach-horses, had applied to the defendant to procure him another to match the retuaiuing our; the de. fendant in consequence sent to the plaintiff a horse to snatch, but that proving unsound,was returned to the de fendant,who was permitted to keep the money paid for it (75'.) ; for the purpose of procuring another. Shortly ,tier he did procure another, which was sent to the plaintiff's stable. The plaintiff on seeing it, express-NI ins perfect approbation of the horse's size, coloar. &c. and requested to hoots whether it would go in double harness—the de fendant replied he did not know, he had no doubt it would ; he had tried it in single harness, an I found the horse per fectly gentle. The horse was then put to Mr. Fountainc's carriage, anti driven about the lawn before his loon e ; the horse was quite quiet ; Mr. Fountaine expressed his satisfaction, and paid the defendant IW., which, in ad dition to the former 751., made tiSt, the price of the horse. About ton days after, the horse was again put into Mr. Fountain's carriage, sod after being driven a short way, lie showed symptoms of vice, and afterwards kicked very violently ; of this the defendant ass informed, who recommended to Ms. Fouataine's c Edel man that he should give the horse a dose of physic, and then rub his bit with oil or vitriol, which would make the horse so ill he could not kick.
