Drc.9.—There are people who will absoliitely persist in affirming that we are to be invaded by the Calmucks, and among these, people there 'are individuals who. attribute the arguments of those .writers who endeavour jo dis pel the apprehensions of such a danger to an in tention of relaxing the energy of the Spaniards. Last night, in a patriotic society, there was a person who_expressed this absurd and extraor dinary idea, • falling at the conclusion of his dis course into the usual theme of persecution and extermination against a certain class .of persons. By what fatality have individuals, known only for their furious extravagance, the unhappy pro pensity to speak in public, and to seek to exalt the vindictive passions, which may be of such horrible consequences to their country seems that the English Minister this morning re ceived a courier from his Government: CADIZ,' DEC..,). -At one o'clock in the morn ing of this day, a colJection • of people was ob served in the Square of the Constitution, and groups of people, thechief subject of whose con versation. was, ,that it was proper to remove, from ecclesiastical employment, from the admi nistration of justice and various civil offices, those who held them in this city, and who had noto riously ill conducted the.nselves in the preceding period, or were disaffected to the. Constitutional system. The Ist Alcade appeared to calm this tumult, and at first seemed to succeed, but about noon there' was a convention at the gates of the Chapter-house, where three individuals entered and declared to the first Sypdic, N . vho was there with several Magistrates, that. the people who were assembled desired, the return of. General' Rafael del Reig6 to this:eay, and. that.speedy justice should be done in the cause relative to the events of the' lOth of March. At this time the Alcade arrived, and together with the Syndic, requested these individuals to inform the peo ple that the Municiiiality, 'which was to - meet, immediately, would take their petitions into con sideration, and deliberate what was proper to be' done, according to the Constitution and the Laws. At the request of- the three individuals the Alcade and the Syndic went into the Balcony, and . ad dressed'the persons assembled, to the aboveeffect, . adding, that the mode of representation which they proposed was not conformable to the Con stitution. Their harangue was interrupted by a general cry of Justice, ,Justice.! which; being ap peased they made other observations,. on which, as they seemed more peaceabh:, the Alcade went into the street, and . persuaded them. of the confidence which they ought to have in their Mu nicipality, whieh,; in . a. popular authority ,would not neglect to attend to subject which was con sidered to be itnportatat tO the welfare and sectirityof the nation and the people;, and that therefore tltey ought to be appeaSed and to. retire, whiCh they in fact did. Some time after this their' Political chief arrived, who, with the Municipality, held An txtraordinary Council on these e"vents,.wl►iclh' lasted till four o'clock, and was adjou-rned till six. At present the greatest tranquillity pre vails.— All has ended Without Any excesses.. The authorities have displayed a degree of zeal and energy, which does them honour. The riotous . seem to have intended to irritate the people of Valencia. His Excellency the political chief O'llonoju has issued an excellent Proclamation on this occasion, in which he says he•considers it an high honour to be appointed Governor of a city which was the cradle of the Constitution, that he had persuaded himself that if it might be necess'ary, at his time of life, to give the citizens advice ; they would, never want reproof. tate events, however, renders it necessary for hien to warn them not to tarnish their glory, by deviat ing from the tight path ; and though he is per suaded that this will suffice to make those few perso►►s, whose i►idiscretion has . carried them too far, desist from their designs ; he must provide for the public tranquilliCy, and consequently fol bids all tumultuous meetings subverSive of public order and tranquillity. DUTCH AND FLANDEItS PAPERS. FR kNKFORT, DEC. 14.—A Nuremberg Paper has an article, dated Lower Saxony, which says, " A 'report is spread of a marriage ,between the Crown. Prince of Sweden and a Princess of a family, which is related to the most ancient and powerful Royal Houses, and to which the Swe. tthilt nation seems particularly attached." STOCKIIOLNI, DEC. s.—One of the Journals yesterday contained a Royal.Notilication, dated Nov. 4, stating his Majesv's reason for purchas , ing several real estates, both manufactories and land, in various parts of the kingdom, and ap pointing his anent, Mr. Forelins, to act in the Courts of Justice in all cases in which his Ma jesty, in consequence of theseTurchases, may be involved as'an individual. DRESDEN, DEC. 4.—Our army is very shortly to be reduced as far as is consistent' with the obligations of the kingdom as a Member of the German Confederacy. According to the expres sion of our venerable Sovereign, in a country which cannot be great 'by its political strength, the army is injurious • when it is too numerous; as those who follow the profession of arms are lost to the arts lind sciences, which are the true means of:making a country p'rosperous, and its inhabitants happy. . DEc. 20. 7 --The accounts from Ger many, received this morning, state, that the Court of Berlin has appointed General Natzmar to go as Pruss,ian Commissioner General to the Austrian army.in, Italy. It seems that a Russian Officer of rank will likewise go to 'ltaly in 'the same quality. This measure would seem to prove the participation of Russia and Prussia in the war-against the kingdom of the Two Sicilies,/in case that Power should not accede to the last proposals made to it by the Allied Sovereigns. DEc. 15.—Our accounts from Trall'pau . of thQ gib, :tato, that the confei-ences between the Ministers are ' very frequent, and that it is ,supposed they will be terminated about the 15th of this month - . - 2 DEL 10.—General Baron Wimpfen has passed through this city, coining from Trop pau, and going to join the army in Italy. During his short stay, he ordered his camp equipage to be sent .after him.--Many Officers of-rank are also gone to Italy, whence another body of light. , troops is going to be sent. It .seems the cam paign ; Will be opened at the beginning . of Ja nuary, if the negociation with Naples should fail. HANovEit, Dec. lg.—The gross revenue of the kingdom of Hanover, from Ist of July, 1820; to Ist of July, 18-21, is 'calm lated at 3,104,007 dollars and the net, revenue, after dedue fion of the expences of collecting, &c., at 2,603,03-2 dollars. Of this situ 1667,0-22 dollars ; are required for the army, 781,467 dollars .for the debt of the States, and only 159,541 dollars for other expences. If the gross revenue for the year 1820 to 1821 should not prGve to be greater than that of 1819 to 1820, there would be fur 1821 to 1822 a new deficit of 639,526 dollars. ANOVER,DEe. I.—lt seems that a considerable number of subalti.rn officers and privates belonging to the late German Legion have been, within a short period, to-London, to apply in person to the English Government for pensions. In con serpience of which the English War-office has issued an 7 official'declaration, that" in future, no claim of this nature shall be attended to unless it is first sent to England by his Royal.t-lighiless the Oldie - Of Cambridge as Colonel of the late German Legion: and an answer is returned from thence, that the claims of the applicants shall be inquired into." The men "lave . lately been to England would have been ex .posed to the g reatest misery had nut the British Government provided for their support in England, and given them a free passage home. :MUNICH, DEC. 11.—Our two Academicians, Drs. Spix and Martins, arrived here last night, from their voyage to Brazil; they tave brought two children, belonging' to the savage tribes on the river of the Amazons. Their extensive and valuable collections in natural history are expected at Hamburg!). AMERICAN PAPERS. We, have received New York Papers to the Ist inst., which contain the important intelli gence of the consummation of the ilaytian Re volution, without further bloodshed. After the revolt of the troops at St. Mark's and the Cape, and the death of Christophe, the several quarters of the North declared rapidly for the Govern .ment of the Republic, and the only resistance which continued to be offered to President Boyer was by the fortress of La Ferriere, near the Cape, to which the remainder of Christophe's family had fled, and by some troops under the command of General Romain (Prince of Limbe), .who- had taken post in the mountains of Gros Monte, near Gonaives, with the assumed title. of General-in-Chief. The fortress of Fer dere appears, however, to have been, at list, quietly given up to the Republican troops, to gether with the members of Christophe's family, and the whole of the ex-King's treasures, &c. On this Romain also made overtures to sur- render to President Boyer, on condition that himself, and all with him, should be admitted to the privileges of Citizens of the Repub lic. To:this proposition Boyer readily acceded, and a eonference was appointed between Romain and the chief authorities of the Cape on the one hand, and Plenipotentiaries from Boyer on the (Altar, the happy result of which was communi cated to the inhabitants by the following, Pro clamation, signed by a great number of Magis.- Crates and Generals, with the name of Romain at the: head : EPUBLIC OF HAYTI.-LIBERTY, EQUALITY, AND 11413EPENDENEE! ADDIESS TO THE PEOPLE OF HAITI. Citizens, Soi * diers—The undersigned Magistrates and Ge nerals announce to you, %sill) the most lively joy; that they have just .made a solemn deelaratiost, that there' exists this day, iu Hayti, only one Government, and only one Consti tution.

Then let us repeat a thousand times these cries (pledge of the happiness and . _safety of the coon - try), Vice Ia Republic - ie de Hayti ! Vice Independence! Vice Liberte et Egalite !

Boyer, with his army, consisting of 20,000 Men, entered the Cape ,on the day after this Proclamation, amid general rejoicings. .•- • A spirit, of economy has already manifested it self in 'Congress. Two Resolutions have been submitted in the House of Representatives, one for reducing the compensation to Members of Congress, and officers underGOvernment, the other for reducing the military peace.establishment. To the former of theSe it was objected that it did not go far enough, that it should be. more 'general and comprehensive. It was accordingly ordered to lie on the table for further consideration and re ceiving amendments. The • latter, which is in unison with a-Resolution of the Senate in the last Session, was carried without division or debate. WEEKLY RETROSPECT. cc Write me down an ass !" says Dogberu in e play—" I move that the Answer to. , the Com , _ _ mon Council Address shall be entered," says one of the Vise Men of the East, "' with a cen sure on Ministers for giving such advice to the KING!" Indeed ! and so said Glendower-•--cc I can call spirits from•the vEsty deep"—" But will they come," asks Hotspur, " when you do call ; them ?"—Aye 1 there's the rub ! Lay it op thick, Gentlemen—lay it on thick, before St. Thomas's Day, or the 21 st day of December will be as bad as the Ist of April, should men of sound loyalty and high respectability stand forth to rescue the City of London from the • domination of a fac tion !-- 7 -But the 21st is past, and behold you have gained a radical victory ! The Censure of ,the City. Well !—and in City phrase, what does the stun total amount to Foreigners - and people at home who know nothing of the Metropolis,of Britain, and of the world, eXcept,that it extends from Hyde Park Corner to Blackwall, and' from Islington to Newington Butts, may indeed suppose that' au Address, carried up from the Mayor and Cor poration,speaks the 'opinion of the million and a half, the eighth part of the population of Eng land, living within those limitS. But what is the fact ? Look at a modern map of LONDON, generally so called, and •coMpare the extent of the City with the surrounding space ! Why, tis but a drop in the ocean, Highgate-hill to the Peak of Teneriffe, Primrose-hill to Highgate, or a Chine orange to Lombard-street! When the city, indeed, occupied three fourths, or sally one half of the metropolis, then its opi nioii, fairly taken, must have been allowed great weight in the political scale ; but now,. when it contains only eighty thousand of the immense mass of congregated life spreading into three counties, nay almost into four, and when that eighty thousand, from local causes, is known to be diminishing, we 'Mist not let ourselves be de ceived by' high sounding Words, nor take the decrees of Guildhall for the voice of a mighty people Besides, were the whole of the Liverymen of LONDON to meet in the Civic Forum, their num= ber would not exceed twelve thousand ; and of that number, with the exception of a few of high mercantile consequence who enjoy the Free dom by birth-right, or who have procured it personally by apr benticeship, or by purchase for the sake of ,Corporation humours, Corporation dinners, and political purposes,' of what does the body of Freemen, Liverymen, and Common Council consist, but of retail dealers, tradesmen, and mechanics—men, no doubt; highly respec table in their proper sphere, but who .derive more consequence from their connexion with the Charter than 'they can impart to it ! The simple . fact is, that to sell a yard of tape, between Aldgate and Temple-bar, a man must be free of the City ; but he may sell the piece of tape uncut, as a wholesale dealer, without leave or license. Let us look then among the most re spectable - dealers in London, and count how few are obliged to join the Corporation. Nay, even' . of those. who enjoy Civic honours, there are some who appear ashamed of City locality as a residence. I' the olden time, wise men came from the East ; and now we see absolute wisdom himself start from the vicinage of Labour in vain hill or Addle-street to wanton iii the zephyrs of South Andley-street ? .Shall we then now be told of the weight of City Addresses carried by packed Courts or by a. factious few,—where noise, clamour, ribaldry, and even bodily assault are• put' in practice, to diSgust the well , judging, to silence the Moderate, and to terrify the timid ? Shall we consider their dicta as the fair opinion even of the resi dent population within the walls, adding thereto Farringdon and Cripplegate Without ? Shall we at once submit the fate of this mighty Empire to the opinions of Civic Assemblies thus consti tuted, 'and at once permit Goo and MA.GoG to tumble Minister's from their seats, :and insult the Throne with impunity If not'.--then so much for - City Censurel ! !

" DIII AN, Uee. ti.—:l report is at this moment circulated here, that the Austrian army has passed Llic Pu is three 15i0I1S." The conduct of the Whig Politicians at pre' sent betrays all that gross inconslstency which may be expected from men. who have no mo tive of action but hatred to airy GOvernment in which they - are not permitted to hold a share. Fa some time-past the arguments in the chief Orgalt of Party, The Morning Chronicle, have been di' rected against any interference in the Affairs of Naples. Very lately Ministers were exhorted to refrain from lending any assistance to .A.u.310 in her alleged intention to beat down the Revolt'. tiou at Naples, either by arms or subsidy,. ad Austria herself was cautioned against any such intention, lest she should import principles that would lead to similar consequences at Now our Ministers are reproached -with havins supinely regarded the fate of Poland, which thel say-ought to have been restored to a state of it dependence, and they are advised to embroi l this Country in a dispute with Austria, by givin% our support to the cause of- the Revolutionists in Naples. Such are the contradictions and absar' . dities into which men will plunge themselves? who are actuated by no impulse but that of self' interest, and the- malevolence which arises frog . ' disappointed ambition. Ministers have enough upon their. hands at home, and that, we presume/ will be sufficient to prevent them from a need' less interposition in the concerns of other States/ except as they may be bound by an inviolabl e regard to treaties and a diie' sense of nationa l honour. Ministers have to oppose the progres s of a revolutionary spirit, which has long been.a t work openly and insidiously, and which has re' cently availed itself of popular infatuation on lamentable topic, in- order to bring contempt., e' t the Sovereign, and to overthrow the Throne an d the Altar.
