HIGH W,\TER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. ;Morning, 7 minutes after '3. Evening, 22 minutes after 9, THE SUN. 'DEEM gtlls ()MERE FALSUM AIMEAT ? LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1820. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Monday lost. They contain the following Ac- counts from Spain :—.. " We (Moniteur) have received the following intelligence from Aladrid, dated the 16111 of March : " The Constitution was sworn to on the 10111, at Seville ; it bad been s wo: n to on the 9th, at Cadiz, its the presence of Generals Freyre and Viceneio, and of the Army. " lint the letters from Seville of the 11th state, that there had bee; s tumults at Cadiz, in which a number of persons, including Generals Campana anti Valdez, had lost their lives. This can only be atttibutcd to ignorance of the state of affairs at Aladrid. .‘ 'The Lieutenant• Colonel, whom General O'Donnel bad ceased to pursue, bad entered Cor dova, which General O'Donnel had also entered. " General Ezpelita, Viceroy of Navarre, had cans l ed the Constitution to be sworn to. Espez y Mina entered Pampeluna on the nth. " Letters from Catalonia state, that General Castanos had been arrested ; up to the last moment he had faithfully fulfilled his duties towards his King ; the moderation and nobleness of his cha racter were so universally recognized, that he was treated with the greatest respect by those wiio seized his person. " The agitation at Valencia had not been tran poil!ized. General Elio kept that Province down up to (lie moment when the orders frolii the Court were transmitted to him. IJe sought and found a refuge from the outrages of the people in the loyalty of his successor. Ile is in safety in the citadel. " Vittoria did not hesitate to recogni4e the new order of things, on learning the events that had occurred at Madrid. " But it is at Madrid that all the interest which attaches to this new Revolution is na 7 wally Concentrated, and the approach of the opening of the Cortes renders it more and viore intense. If, as it is hoped, the Deputies to the Cortes should prove wise men, there is no doubt that every thing may be arranged and con solidated for the happiness of the Spanish Nation and its King. " Evers' thing is very tranquil at present. The l!Covisional Junta, in concert with the King, are sedulousiy - occiipied with the Finances, which are in an alarming state. Since the month of January the receipts in the Treasury have been nil. An Ordonnance has been published for the recovery of the old arrears of Taxes in . the in•erval, until the systeni of taxation can be regulated by the Cortes. " It is understood that the new Minister of War is appointed. General Giron is named. lie is a mats distinguished by his merit." 11.1Aoir ID, MA RCII 16.--This Capital eon inties to enjoy the most pet feet tranquillity. The Inquisition has been aholished. The 'press has been declared free, and all the Inqui sitors have received orders to quit the Capital ; those persons also are to quit who maintained a great influence with the King. The Cortes it is hoped will assemble by the first of May. The Constirtition is now proclaimed throughout Spain. General Freyre proclaimed it in his army, before he knew what had occurred in the Capital. " The unfortunate city of Cadiz is the only one that has suffered the calarnities of civil war. On the 10th and 11th, the people manifested their sentiments in favour of the Cons t itution ; they t% ere. opposed by the garrison, lot ce was resorted to and blood was shed ; it is even said, that several houses were pillaged. The details are not known, but the greatest confusion' pre vailed in the city, where the will of the King could not be known till the 13th. " General Castanos, and his Aides-de•Camp, General Copons, the Marquess de %illel, and whirs, are to be conveyed from Barcelona to !hi, Copital, under a strong escort. It was their ar rest alone that lestored tranquillity at Barcelona, where the people were clamorous for the Consti tution. " "rbe Provisional Junta are stated to have sent Commissioners to different parts of Stioth America, with instructions calculated to restore peace ita that quarter. It is hoped that the new Republics will not he indisposed to unite with the rest of the Nation, under a Constitutional Mo narchy ; the American Delegates at London have often declared this ; Bolivar alone may oppose it, but the Chiefs of the Republic of Buenos Ayres will probably consent. "At Santander, the proclamation of the Constitution, which took place on the 13th, was accompanied by some measures of rigour; th e Governor Qaesatla was arrested, and also M. Vial, a merchant, and some other persons. " At San Sebastian, General Atizaja died of grief, at witnessing the fall of the party opposed to the Cortes." The Gazelle de France says, that Gen. Elio narrowly escaped being put to death by the multi tude, at Valencia, who loudly demanded his head. lie had taken refuge in the Citadel, but the people insisted on his being brought to trial. The following are further extracts : " PARIS, MARCH 27.—The indisposition of the King, on Friday evening, arose from au attack of gout in the stomach, which affected his respiration; His Majesty had considerable, fever in the :light, but his health was better yes terday, as appears by the following Bulletin : Sunday, 9, A. M. the King is better ; his Majesty has slept for :vve hours, the fever has . ceased, and respiration s much less difficult. (Signed) ' PORTAL, ALIBERT.' " liis,Majesty received the Ministers yesterday, and the Princes, but held no Court." Orator HUNT, whose tears of. Lancashire-men not doing him justice, made hint apply for a trial in Yorkshire, has been convicted of " assembling " unlawful banners, an unlawful Meeting " for the purpose of exciting discontent and dis " affection," by a Yorkshire Jury. Every ad vantage also was afforded him ; even the trial pro ceeded, notwithstanding be had not complied with the rules prescribed to him by the Court of King's Bench. The point is now settled that the Meeting of the 16th of August at Munches• ' to was an illegal Meeting, and the consequtn,a roust be equally clear, that the M.igistrates did right in dispersing it, and apprehtanling the President of that Meeting, and the oven tsible Leaders of a discipline(' mob, who car fled Revorationary Banners, found which, in case of need, they were to rally. The Jury have also, it may be inferred from the summing up of the Judge, shervn their opinion of the illegality of the Resolutions subscribed to by HUNT at Smith field ; and that his mode of remedying the sup. posed grievous Representation of the People in Parliament, is not according to their taste and knowledge of the English Constitution. The Grand Jury of Lancashire have again throain out the Bills preferred against certain individu,ls of the Yeomanry employe(' on the 16Th Aug., in dispersing the Meeting, and a Special Joiy of Leicestershire have deemed the . attack upon the character of the Yeomen, and upon that of the Military, for their conduct that day, a gross libel ; but still inquiry is called for; and, if granted, must not the grounds of the dithrent Julies, who have, by their verdicts in the above three instances, be fit subjects of inquiry also ? Foi have they not found, first, the Meeting unlawful secondly, the arrest of HUNT and four others, by the Magivrates, for their at. tundance at that Meeting, lawful and right ? and, thirdly, have they not negatived the charges against the Yeomanry individually ? and, tontil , ly, they have proved that the scandalous imputation of the cruelty of, the Yeomanry and Military, is a libellous composition of SirFßAxers Btraorrr, the Patriot and Friend of his Country ! ! Notwithstanding the success •of the Coalesced Rudicu/s, BYNG and WHITBREAD, in Middlesex, we still indulge a hope, that the good sense and loyalty of a majority of honest Freeholders wi:l secure the return of Mr. MELLISH. What can the Electors see in Mr. BYNG,- to give their support to him ? We hear nothing of his generosity in private We, and there is no plorninent merit in his political career. Indeed he has found that he has lost the favour of all the genuine old IVhigs, who have given plumpers for Mr. INIRL LISH, and therefore he has been obliged to solicit the faveyur, and: support the doctrines of the Bar detlites, the Radical Reformers, the advocates for Annual Elections; and Universal Suffrage. Annual Elections, while such-gangs at turbulent infErins every day insult a respectable independent Candida!e !--Universal Suffrege,• which might give such miscreants tie power of voting for am bilious Demagogues, probably from among them selves, and by that means overwhelm our arltnira ble Corwitution, framed by the wisdom, and matured by the experience of ages. Ardently, therefore, do we exhort again and again the Vectois of Middlesex to reictie their County from impending infamy, and their Country from eventual ruin, by returning Mr. MELLI!Ii to that station which he maintained with loyalty, an in dependent spirit, and unimpeachable integrity. _ _-r•~ It was our intention to offer a few observations upon the recent Trial of Mr. HUNT ; but as he means to apply for a new trial in the Court of King's Bench, we shall be brief in our remarks, because we wish to say nothing that may preju dice the minds of the Jury. We beg leave, how ever, to observe, that we lay more stress upon the positive evidence of Mr. ENTWISTLE than we do on the negative testimony of all who differed front him in the report of a particular fact. Mr. ENr- WISTLE positively declared that, on the approach ing of the Military he heard Mr. HUN"' dis tinctly say, pOinting to the soldiers, " your enemies are among you ; it they attempt to mo-: lest you, get them down, and keep them down." There is no reason to believe, that this witness was likely to invent these words, and perjure himself, to charge them on the defendant. We have no intention to impeach the veracity of those who were near Mr. flusT, and declared that be did not otter them. In the alarm of the time they might not have heard them uttered; hut their de nial is no proof that they were nut spoken. Un less Mr. ENTwISTLE, (het efore, is a character so little entitled to credit that he is supposed to be capable of perjury, we see no reason 5 0 di 3 . trust his testimony. Perhaps, in the confusion of the moment, Mr. HUNT himself might forget that he had uttered such words, and many cit cunt stances might have - occurred which prevented the other witnesses from hearing them.----As to !tic order which attended the several Processions to Manchester on the memorable (lay in quenrion, the information tv . hich we received from indabit • able authority is totally of a contrary descrip tion. We published two accounts in THE Still soon after the event, derived from an unimpeach able source, which represented the mob as ani mated by the most violent feelings, as armed with bludgeons, ikc., [tad bs insulting all the well dressed people whom they passed, particularly in two instances, when they taunted a Gentleman on wear :rg a good coat, telling hits that they Ow have that or a better. On these acconots .' V tec ly rely, but we are by no means Sit I pril that witnesses were not brought inrwa r d in pr 6 of such daring proceedings, because they et) only do so at the ha.zard of their lives, as 11) would pi obably have bt en the objects of SJlb i ((item vengeance. We k suw that one Peace•oth C was killed by a mob of the same description, a ' other severely wounded, others beaten, and nl O threatened. It therefore requires snore than ° (Hoary courage for men to come forward with titl under the menace of such impending danger• MR. CAstiztvG.—We have again to express d i regret that we have riot bad an apportuniii , inserting the l ast speec h o f t hi s Gentleman, d e l vered on the !Bth inst. at Liverpool. A corrt‘ l account of it appeared in the Liverpool Courie' which we intend to copy verbatim.
