FOREIGN INTEJ:LIGENCE. SPAIN. 'Madrid Letters, and Papers have been received to- the 12th inst., together with the KING'S SPEECH,' read at the .chis'e of the Cortes, on the 9th, of . which we subjoin a translation. .An official article announces that a general meeting of the Shareholders of the -Philippine Company is to be held at their chambers in Madrid, on, the ensuing'l6th December, at which the Finance Minister, Canga Arguelles, was to assist, to take into consideratiOn the Decree issued by the Cortes, on the 19th - October alt. Accounts from Cadiz, of 28th ult. mention that the brig Dili gent, with Cochineal, cocoa, and specie, had ar rived- from Vera Crui. The Constitution had been enthusiastically proclaimed in almost every part of Mexico. In Cuba, the elections for De puties to the Cortes were going on. A corps of 6000 volunteers had been there organised and equipped at their own expence. The 9th inst. presented to the people the solemn and inte resting spectacle of the prorogation of the Cortes, the, period , for the recess having arrived. On the -meeting of the 'House two dispatches from ,the Secretary of State were read,' one notifying that the King was unwell with a bad cold and hoarseness, and the other that he bad instructed. his Ministers to hand over to the PreSident of the Cortes the Speech which,' in conformity to the' 123 d Article of the Constitution, was tto be read at the time: of' closing the Cortes . . Those' articles relating to the' forMalities with which the Sittings are to be opened and CloSed Were then read, which being ended,!the Ministei of the In terior spoke: as follows.: 4 '. The Congress has heard the dispatch .announcing that the Secreta ries, of Government have received orders to place in the hands of the President the . -Speech which his Majesty addressesAo the Cortes. This is. the Speech, and I have the honour to present The Speech was then read, and immediately af terwards the President announced,. " that in conformity to the regulations of the Constitution, the Cortes close their -Sittings this 9th day of No vember, 18t0." When the Deputies entered the streets, they were_ received with every token of regard and esteem, and in the evening the City was brilliantly illuminated. The Deputies were preparing to : return, covered with the. benedic tions of the capital, to their respective provinces, where the heartfelt thanks of their constituents equally awaited theta. Thus terminated the first Sitting of the:Cortes, which had commenced un der the most awful circumstances, but, by dint of firmness and perseverance had overcome all, op posing obstacles. SPEECH OF MS HAJEcTr, READ IN THE SITTING OP N0V.,9, BY THE lIIESIDENT OF THE CORTES. GENTLEM EN DEPUTIES'---/ have the satisfaction to manifest to the Cortes the pleasure I derive from the result of the first period of their Sittings. During their continuance, I have fre . qnently experienced sentiments of regard, inspired by the zeal and wisdom with whichthe Congress has laboured to consoli date the public feliCity, and the lustre of the Throne, which is. ,inseparable from that of the nation. I myself have promoted - 1.1;v prorogation of the Sjt tings„ as prescribed by our fundamental . laws, sensible that titC esta!tli,:lou ent of our political sytste:mi at the tregioning,,reqoires more timea - nti greater lahours,and also well convinced oft he advantages oft his prorogation,as regards the progress of the important business of the anterior months. I feel thankful for the generosity with which the Cortes have provided fur the wants and decorum of my house and those of the Royal Family, and Lcannot but applaud the frankness and j astice with which, in solemnly acknowledging the oldigat tong and c harges - of the State„tto v base approved the in•tispetisilt,le• means of discharging thetitt thnS laving the foundation of (tor ne ional credit and lutureqelicity. -These wise measures, with others intended suitably to organize the land and sea forces, to facilitzlte theeirculation of °or territorial riches, to remove tril opposiogobstacles, to establish, a planof finance,such as may re concile the interests of the State with those of the people,have beenohirets of the iners:antapplicatinwaild continued exertions of the Congress, anti rendered thrtn deserving of the universal estimation of Ftrope,•and the just gratitude of the kingdom. At the sans, time, I cannot hot assure you, that my heart has been filled with gladnes, on beholding the measures of pru dent generosity and inthilgence with which the Cortes have endeavoured to heal the wounds of the nation, anti efface the rementhrance.of the evils by which it had been rent, opening the door of reconciliation to error and obstinacy, and at the same time still leaving alive thesweet hope that you will henceforward continue animated by the same noble senti ments, in order to cement the constitutional system on the bases of fraternity arid reciprocal love of all Spaniards. By this means the solid power of the nation, and of the mo narchical authority be which it is directed, go on i net easing, and at the same time that improvements in our internal situa tion are preparing, we acquire more founded rights to the consideration of Foreigu,Governments, all of whom continue to give me proofs of their friendly dispositions. Every day congratulate mygelf, more and more, on governing a people in worthy and gent roils. I have co operated in the glorious enterprise of their regeneration, anti in the laudable efforts of the Cortes, through the proper means of the Royal l'reroga tiee; I have dictated the measures suitable for the execution of the Laws, and I tin not doubt time will give great force and vigour, to our Institutions, and .that. those advantages which already begin to be realised, will progressively increase. Confirmed by the lessons of experience, I thus hope to he en abled to express myself to the Representatives of the Nation, when, after resting front their labours and -fatigue, they again assemble in the ensuing Session, in,order to continue the un dertakings they bare left "poiditik, and as hitherto success fully to anomote the public tprosperity.—San - Lorenzo, Nov. 7, 18.20. (Signed) . FEKDINAND. HAM BURGH' PAPERS HAMBURGH,'Nov. account from Naples of the. etst Oct. states, that the Palermitans required 'the English Consul-General (M. 'Lindemann) to have the English flag hoisted on all the forts, and til . 4eelitTe the W;lrule is;and under the protection of England. They impertanea him so ranch, that he thought it advisable to leave the City and retire to the Country. • , SroCKI-101.Nr, Nov. 3. 7 -A few days ago 40 aterchants -and . bankers of thiS city were sent foe by the Secretary of State of Finances and Commerce, in older to explain how the unex pected rise of our course of . exchange, on foreign countries (upon Hamburg!), from 122 to lie in one week) could have been caused, and to hear what the Government was disposed to do, in case they could not, or would not, guarantee that the operations should be more steady during the winter. M. Schwan, of the house of Scion and Co., in the mune of all the merchants present, answered the remarks and representa tions of the Secretary of State, point by point. On the fol lowing. post-day the course remained the same as it had been, but there were few bills to be had.

SOUTHWARK MEETING. ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN, AND PETITION TO THE HOUSE OFI,OMMONS. Yesterday a meeting of the InhabitOts, house= holders of Southwark, pursuant to a requisition, was held in the Town-hall. At-half-past twelve o'clock JoirN PRINCE', Esq. High Bailiff, took the Chair, accompanied by Sir R. Wilson, Charles,. Calvert, Esq. Mr. Alderman Wood, tsx.rtho 'were received with loud cheers: The Deputy Bailiff then read the Requisition ; after which, Mr. TiromAs MOULDEN said, that before ad dressing the meeting he had to infoßn them, that in consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Solo mon Davis, it devolved upon hint to move the Resolutions, and as an Englishman he was proud to do so. Ile had 'the honour of meeting her Majesty at St. Omer's, with a distinguished English friend ; he then proffered her Majesty the use of his house, for it was then, both here and in France, supposed that her Majesty could not land on the English coast. As a proof of this, he was told that " the cannon at Dover were loaded," to which he replied, that 44 they Were loaded to protect a just. cause." Her Ma jesty did collie to England, and threw- herself on the protection of Englishmen. After a few other obseTvations on the propriety of the 'present meeting, and - paying some compliments to the Members for the Borough, he concluded bymov log the first seven Resolutions, 'which went to congratulate her Majesty, to_thank her friends and supporters, and to petition the Mouse. of Commons not to give their support to Ministers.. JottN , EetacE,•Esq. most cordially: seconded . the Resolutions, which were then Put anld car ried with acclamations, as was also an Address to her Alajesty. On the motion of thanks to Alderman WOOD being carried, the -Alderman rose to address the Meeting. He observed that he had hitherto considered it right to absent himself frrn public meetings; he had, ho wever, come thereon the pre sent occasion, as he had property in the I3'orough, and was likewise a freeholder. lie would avoid entering into any detail, as they might have im portant business to attend to. lie was in posses sion of facts of great importauce, which perhaps might not, and ought not to be made public, but it depended on her Majesty's Law Advisers whether this should be the case or not. He_ was in possession of documents to prove that bribery , to a great extent had been carried on. The con spiracy had been .commenced in England, and he was afraid the money came from vote pockets of the people_ . ; for in the coffee-houses abroad persons were found ta, slander the Queen, some of whom had 20Q . /. per annum, and had been honoured' with titles., . Possessing these facts, and, docu ments with the strong declaration of her Ma jesty, drat nothing should prevent her coming to England to assert her innocence ; with these do cuments in his possession, if he had not, done what he had done, be would have beett unyrorthy of the name of an Englishman. He' could de clare before God and his country, that he had no political bias, or any other feeling, except a wish to secure the esteem of his feltOw country men. The Thanks of the' Meetino- r , were then voted to Lady. Ann Hamilton, on whose Conduct and character Mr. Alderman Wood passed a high eulogium. CLIARLES CALvErrr, Esq. M.P. said, he had to apologise. for not attending the last meeting, in consequence 9f being a considerable distance in the country. The worthy Member then anim adverted on the subject rately before the House of Lords, and agreed with the Resolutions, in thinking that her Majesty was innocent; for, dur ing a period of three years, they had not been able to prove one act of adultery. He thought, that instead of there being a minority against the Bill, there was a great majority against it. Mr. Calvert then entered into a scrutiny of the divi sion, and concluded by observing, that he should have another opportunity of addressing them. Mr. Alderman Woof) then 'withdrew, as he had to attend a Committee for managing the pro cession of her Majesty to St. Paul's. Sir ROBERT WILSON, in rising to address the meeting, 'expressed his satisfaction in attending one which was §o much in unison with his own feelings. They had heard the statements of Mr. Moulden•and Alderman Wood, and he was sure every person was convinced of the innocence of the.- Queen. Her Majesty's Counsel, as, men of honour, were firmly of opinion that she was inno cent. He next adverted to the transaction at St. Omer's, 'and observed, that her Majesty had refused to accept any residence which would add to the burthen of the people, whereas Royal mu nificence had provided every suitable accommo dation for every branch of the Royal Family. The Petition to the House of Commons was then read, and agreed to. Mr. ELLICE mov'e n d that it be signed by 24 per sons,and be presented by the two Members. • Mr. CALvEtur was sorry to differ frour:the-last speaker; but if the Petition was sigued'by only 24 Persons, it would be received onlyn as the- e tition of that number. The greater thcv number of signatures was, so much Would be the weight of the Petition. , Sir IL WILSON agreed with his worthy Col league respecting the number of signatures. He then expat?ated on the necessity of removing- the presentMini,sters, and also of having Parliamen tary Reform. It was then agreed, that the Petition should he signed by the Inhabitant Householders. Thanks were voted to the High Bailiff, Mr. Cal vert, and sir R. Wilson, who severalty retUrned thanks ; after which, the meeting was dissolved. BETIINAL-GREtN MEETlNG.—Yesterday 4 Ge neral Vestry Meeting of the Inhabitants of the Parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, was held in the large room of the Workhouse, for the purpose of considering of the propriety of an Ad dress of Congratulation to her Majesty on the abandonment of the s proceedings against her, and on the glorious triumph of her cause over perse cution and perjury. Mr. GREgNWOOD, the Head It has been erroneously reported that a Speech by Conititission NI ill take • place in Parliament this day, and has been so stated itrsome of the Public Prints, but we can assure our Readers that no such Speech will take place, and if any thing important of interesting shall occur in the Proceedings, we shall communicate it in a Second Edition. The determination of HER MAJESTY to Visit St. Paul's has excited much uneasiness in those of her friends who act from the impulse of honest feelings, however it may gratify others who sup port her cause from Party spirit. It will cer tainly excite great agitation in the Metropolis, be very injurious to tradesmen, and a great inter ruption of industry. There is really no occasion for this public exhibition : Devotion is meek, humble, and unobtrusive. We wish that HER MAJESTY would extricate herself from her 46 Wooden Oracle," and consult that understand ing which is ascribed to .her, though she has suf fered feelings of resentment to triumph over it. She has many friends in the Country, who act from sincere conviction of her innocence ; but she will certainty rebate their ardour in her cause if slid appears to mix an ostentatious homage to the Divine Being with any considerations of Party. Let her every Sabbath day visit her Parish ChUrch at Hammersmith, and in so doing she will set a good example to the vicinity, and excite no disturbance in the Country. We hope, however, to hear that the Congregation in that place will not rise on her entrance into the Church, as they did before, as in such a place nothing but the proper forms of religious worship should be observed; and they ought to reflect that the Supreme Being is no Respecter of Per sons, but regards their dispositions and motives, not their rank and station, which are nothing in his sight. It is some satisfaction to us, however, to learn, that no addition will be made to the Service ; that no Sermon will take place on the occasion, nor any Hymn be performed, that all may pass in the usual forms, and peace and order be the sooner restored to the Metropolis. We understand, of course, that her MAJ EST Y'S name will not' be introduced in the Liturgy on this oc casion, whatever may hereafter be determined by the proper Authorities. We received this morning the niris Papers of Monday last. The following are extracts::— " PARt9, Nov. 20.—The King held a Court yesterday, which was brilliantly and numerously attended ; amongst the per sons of distinction present, were the Pridce de Talleyrand, all the Ministers, the, Dukes of Ragusa, Trevisc, Albufera, &c. &c. &c.
