be certain that it will not fail to make an equitable mention of the particular circumstances that accompanied this event, and that it will transmit them to posterity. The Holy Charter of our predecessors, the sublime Constitution, which, in 1812, saved the country from Ibregn oppression, which supported the tottering throne of Ferdinand VII., our Lord and King, and prepared the ruin of the gigantic conqueror who subju gated Europe—this constitution was solemnly proclaimed for the third time within these walls, which served it for a cradle. It ought never to disappear from the midst of us, if we are jealous of our real interests, if we truly love liberty, and if we are anxious not to cover ourselves with eternal opprobrium in the face of the nation who will, ere long, follow our example. The following is a succinct recital of what took place :—The spontaneous movement of the National Guards and the whole body of the people began at the Place St. Anthony, at half-past 10 at night. The enthusiastic cries of 'The Constitution for ever !" Order for ever !' were the only rallying signs by which the Liberals recognized and distinguished each other. On hearing these cries, and the alarm-bell, the National Guards of the first and second bat talions of infantry hastened to their posts, and there remained under arms, as well as the third battalion, which took up a position in the Place of the Cross of Truth, and the battalion of the National Brigade, which drew up in front of its quar ters. It was agreed to appoint Commissioners, taken from the National Guards, to make known to the Civil Governor the project resolved upon by the corps to proclaim the Consti tution of 181 9 . These Commissioners were very favourably received by that worthy magistrate, who began by ascertain ing whether this wish was participated in by the people and the whole of the National Guards. Never shall we forget the energetic speeches delivered by M. Urquinanona on that memorable night, or the frankness with which he expressed to men as free as himself, and as worthy to hear the truth from his lips, the delicacy of his position, his engagements towards the Queen's Government, his man disiterestedness, and lastly, his desire to renounce the superior. command of the province. The warm acclamations of the National Guards cf all classes stifled his voice. The people and the National Guards pledged themselves to abide by the prudence and decision of M. lir quinanona, whose mouth, which knows how to speak with such firmness qnd dignity, never pronounced an oath in vain. In consequence of the unanimity of the whole population at C a diz, this day, at two o'clock - in the afternoon, the Consti tutional Charter was proclaimed with the greatest pomp. The I National Guards of all classes, the battalion of the 'Marine Brigade, and an immense concourse of persons of all ranks, assisted at this solemn act:— " Citizens, we have ;lis day renewed the sacred oath to support the charter, which our fathers founded in this city, then besieged by the phalanxes of the first captain of the age. This charter has been torn from us twice, by the perfidy of the Absolutists, seconded by the hordes of miserable tyrants who already sleep in oblivion and contempt. Let him who would dare to fail in the solemn engagement we have just made, to live free by the Constitution, or die in its defence, be declared perjured man, and let him die an infamous death. Let us defy the cowards who may dare to attempt to rob us of our Constitution ! That sacred charter contains nothing that is not Spanish—nothing that does not recall to us an epoch of glory and patriotism. It would have by this time establisbrd the happiness of the country; ii the genius of evil, taking ad vantage of our divisions, bad not turned the Aurora of our hopes into days of horror and mourninZ. Inhabitants of Cadiz, be unanimous ! and let us, who have been the last to raise this glorious cry, be the first to assume, to ourselves the glory of demanding the Constitution. Let us protect the Throne of Isabella IL, who from henceforth will rely only upon the Con stitution. and let us keep her from the infernal snares laid by the s•ztellites of the Pretender against her safety. The nation is ready to follow our example, all Europe will admire us, and without doubt the day is come when our hopes are to receive their accomplishment by the triumph of liberty, and the ex termination of all the tyrants." The following is a statement addressed by the National Gulrds of Cadiz to the Civil Governor, now political chief of the town : • " Sir,—All the corps of National Guards of this town arc unanimous in their thoughts and wishes. which are the same with those of the whole population. They repreent to you their conviction that the country has only too min•li groaned beneath the intolerable load of Ministerial arbitrary plea sures and aristocratical despotism, whiA have not only brought them to the brink of - precipier , s, but have-ren dered powerless the heroic cl7%rts made by this unhaipy country to win its freedom, to conquer Car and to 0-, tabs the political rights it prizes so highly. Fatigued by suf fering. and by asking for their rights is vain, they doter trained to gain them by conquest. and to enjoy in peace whit so lawfully belongs to them. To this ea'ect they assembled on the night of the 28th, in the respective quarters of each battalion, resoled not to separ...te, nor to lay down their arms, v;ithout having proclaimed by oath that they would defend the sacred charter ;given by Spain to h e rs e lf i n 1812, when she was irritated and cheated out of her rights, and when she feared not the thunder of the cannon of the con queror of Marengo, so justly admired by the nations of Europe. Thus Cadiz, always heroic, always magnanimous, has desired that so national a demonstration should not be marked by the disorders which often accompany popular commotions. Tranquillity has been maintained, as you have witnessed. The National Guards desired not merely the pro malgation of the Constitution of 1812, they hoped to see you at the head of the movement, that public tranquillity might not be disturbed, and that evil-disposed persona might not attempt their culpable &signs. You desired, Sir, to be allowed to weigh well the declarations of the deputies, and to be certain .that they represented the feelings of the National Guards. Thia certainty being acquired, you declared to them that. being employed by the Government, you thought yourself obliged to resign a power which you could no longer main tain, and that you might think of retirinz into private life. It. was then that the commissioners, as faithful or gans of the wishes of all the National Guards of the coun try, informed you that the public good required you to answer to the confidence displayed towards von. You have heard the wishes of all the National Guards, fh.d you have seen that this body elected you Political Chief of all the provinces of Cadiz by acclamation. The National Guards, who have already expressed to you their desires orally, now repeat them in writing ; and beg you to put yourself at the head of the heroic movement of this province, and to swear with them to the Constitution of 1812. They beg of you also to form a Junta of Government, which may decree all the mea sures required by our situation. They also beg of you not to leave your post until these measures shall have been sufficient to put an end to the divil war. " BERNARDO DARRAN, Commander. in. Chief o: Ist Battalion.

The interest of this Diary," observes the Edinburgh Evening Post," arise 4 from the minute and faithful details which it supplies respecting the arcana of excluaiveism—the machinery of fa shionable' society; and in this respect it must be looked upon as one of the most attractive and successful productions of its class. It has an air of vraisemblance which nothing but an intimacy with the scenes and characters enfolded would seem capable of conferring. The book, therefore, will, and ought to, be read as a picture of society of a high order; and, in deed, in a literary point of view, it must be regarded as a work of decided talent. To-day the Central Criminal Court Sessions com mence. There are already 270 prisoners in Netvgate for trial, and there are many more under remand at the police offices; it is expected the session will be of long duration. CATARACT. ---A very useful and important little Treatise on this afflicting disease, is announced in the list of our advertisements. Its value consists not ko much in the happy manner in which the subject is rendered interesting to every description of readers, as in the disclosure of a method of completely removing it, and restoring sight in its early stage, and without the necessity of a tedious and rigid prepa ration, by an operation which gives the patient scarcely any pain, requires neither confinement nor applications, and leaves no mark or disfigurement in the affected eye. LAUGHABLE CURE FOR FITS. —Thursday after- • noon, between three and four o'clock, a gross impostor, who is in the habit of exciting public sympathy by falling down in fits, pursued his usual avocation in Holborn, near to St. An drew's Church, when a hackney-coachman came up and ex claimed—" Let the poor devil lie down on thi s straw." The man was laid down upon the straw, when he kicked and dis torted his countenance in the most violent manner, until the Person who provided the bed brought a light and set fire to it, the heat of which caused the sudden recovery of the poor and afflicted man, who, as if by magic, jumped up, an d w i th a countenance of the most rueful description, started off with the fleetness of a greyhound, amid the laughter of at least two hundred spectators. CAPT. CIIAMIER'S " BEN BRACE—THE LAST OF NELSON'S AGANIENINONS.” " The songs of Dibdin, (ob serves the Morning Post), exercised a considerable influence on the sailors of his own day ; and if anything in print can re• vine the spirits of ocean chivalry which animated the souls o. Nelson's and Collin wood's heroes, it is the work before Ben Brace.' Simply as a Novel it is delightful—lull of ad- venture, fighting, and fun—and as the Chronicle of the glo rious career of our greatest naval hero, is entitled to our best praise. To all who have any spark of patriotism, any touch cfpoetry, any taste for nautical adventure in their composi ..on, we strongly recommend Captain Chamfer's Ben Brace.' George Cruickshank's spirited illustrations confer an additional claim on the present edition." On Monday night, between 10 and 1 9 o'clock, an Irish gentleman, of the name of Nagle, passing- the Rue Va rennes, was attacked opposite the hotel, belon g i ng to M a d ame Adelaide, by two men, one wearing a redingote and the other a blouse, and wounded so dreadfully with a knife that his intes tines protruded from his body. On hearing his cries some persons were coming up, upon which the ruffians fled without having time to rob him, which no doubt they intended. The operation rendered necessary by the wound was extremely painful, and we regret to say that but slight hopes are enter. tamed o his recovery,— Galignani. IRELAND. DUBLIN, AUG. 13.—CENTRAL INDEPENDENT CLUB. — At the extraordinary General Meeting of this body, held yesterday, Mr. O'Connell addressed the members at great length. He began by condemning the course of observa tion adopted by the press generally respecting the rejected registration clause in the Newspaper Stamp Bill, a clause which Mr. O'Connell contended was just, and should have formed part of the Bill. "It is evident,". said he, " from the very fact of the Lords having disagreed to the retaining of this clause, that it was for the good of the people, else my Lord Lyndhurst would not have given it the kicking which he did. He knew that if the bill passed with such a clause in it, the public would have been able to detect their enemies." There should be no anonymous writing. The Report of the Managing Committee of the Central Inde pendent Club of the Citizens of Dublin to Daniel O'Con nell, Esq., M.P., was then read and unanimously adopted. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then again ad dressed the meeting in a speech which we regret our limits will not permit us to transfer to our columns. Mr. O'Connell began by alluding to the decision of the Dublin Election Committee, which, said the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, " exposed themselves to an obloquy which no other Committee of the House of Commons ever did before, for they reported that there was no evidence of bribery or corruption apparent on the part of the petition ing- candidates, though at the same time it is to be recol lected their having expressly prohibited us from giving any such evidence as would go to show that there was nothing less." Mr. O'Connell then proceeded to deprecate all ri valry and jealousy as between the different public bodies having a common interest in the promotion of civil and religious liberty. "No matter in how many distinct par ties they may be working, they should consider themselves amalgamated all into one great body, each from his own sphere contributing all he can towards the success of the public prosperity and the great national interests of his 'country." After expressing a hope that the county of Dublin would emulate the spirit of the citizens of Dublin, Mr. O'Connell referred to the decision of the Lord Chief Baron Joy with respect to the admission of freemen. " There never was a more preposterous decision, and I trust (said Mr. O'Connell) that I shall be able to see the day when I will overhaul this decision in the House of Commons. Yes, I may as well speak out—come what will, I will impeach the Chief Baron for it. I have from •my privilege a right to move for an impeachment. This is a. decision made by one - of those men whom Lord Angle sey sent us, and yet Lord Anglesey wondered after this That he was unpopular in Ireland. But I will not fail to impeach the Chief Baron if I live to be in the House of .Commons." Speaking of the favourable condition of the elective franchise in Dublin, he said, " We have now this vast majority—a majority of 1,500, one half of which, at least, is certain to be available." With regard to the effect of the Justice Rent, in advancing the liberal interests, " 1 look (said Mr. O'Connell) to the progress of that national measure with anxiety, not with doubt, because of the aid it will furnish to liberate ourselves from that condition of slavery to which we have been so 'long submitting." —(Cheers.) Counselling the country to look to the regis tration, Mr. O'Connell assigned as a reason, why the Re formers should be stirring, that it was not impossible that during the prorogation of Parliament, an attempt might be made to set up Tory power again. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then proceeded to remark on the observations which we felt it our duty a few days ago to offer in opposition to an opinion expressed by him at a public meeting, Mr. O'Connell's declaration was to the effect, that the majority of the English nation were not in favour of equal justice to Ireland, upon which we joined issue . The hon. member for Kilkenny rejoins, " I saw in The Sun newspaper whirls reached me this day, an article blaming me for saying that a majority of the people of Eng!an . l are unfavourable to Ireland. The Sun blames me in a double way ; it says, first, it is not true that the majority of the English people are in favour cs the Tories, and even if it were true it MIS not discreet in me to sty so. Oli 1 but I am always fond of the truth, whether it is indiscreet or not; I have no 1% ish to blind the people ; I must speak the truth ; I must say that the majority of the English people are unfavourable to good government for Ireland, and I tell it to their shame. lam able to de monstrate it fully, and I tell it for the purpose of showing the necessity of redoubling our own exertions. By what argument prove the majority of the English people to be in favour of Ireland ? Why, to be sure, if they count heads and noses, it is possible that the") , may not be a majo-. ray against •just ice to Ireland ; but that is not the way to judge. I judge by a particular class, and that is a class of voters ; I look to the Chanties fifty-pound clause. I was last year at Newcastle-upon-Tyne—l was Well received there. I remember the candidates for the election ; one of them, Captain Blackit, said he would settle the titheS for Ireland ; but Hodgsoii said, I won't give corporation reform to Ireland. Ireland was not by him considered worthy of justice. Well, these men at Newcastle-upon-Tyne returned the Tory by a majority of forty-eight ; certainly it was a small majority, but then it proves whether the majority of the people there were for justice tts Ireland. And what is more, I can tell you that that majority was swelled by those who call themselves Radicals, and some of them are the worst Tories in England.. lam a Radial' myself=—l am for universal suffrage—l am for the vote by . ballot.—(Hear.) I am for vote by ballot ; I am for universal suffrage ; I am for having Parliaments every two years, or at furthest every three. I for doing away with that abominable pecu niary qualification to render an individual fit to be a Mem ber of Parliament. I would wish that any man who had the approbation of his fellow men should have the qualifica tion most requisite to represent them ; and if he was a poor man, let no one tell me that lie is not a fit person to he returned to Parliament. The fact of his poverty would be to me a perfect demonstration that he must be distiu guished for more exalted public and private virtues than any other, and the suffrages of those who knew him longest and best onglit to be his highest recommendation to scat ih --the -Legislative Assembly.—(Loud cheers.) I am for all these things, and I therefore do think with re gret that thin spirit of hostility which is manifested against our cause in a great degree in England should be at all in existence ; and from this spot I. tell The Sun it would be better for it to use its talents and its energies in endea vouring to conquer that spirit, than to be deluding it self and the people with the hope of assistance, when that hope is so likely to be disappointed. It is better honestly to warn of danger than to lull ourselves into a false expectation of support. They say that in England a majority of the inhabitants are in our favour. But I will ask upon what occasion has that feeling induced practical ell-hrt for us? When did the people of Engliind stand up for our rights as we did for them ?—(Cheers.) Did we not battle for Parliamentary Reform for them? Have we not struggled always well and devotedly in their behalf 9-.--. and I do say it with pain, but with justice, that we have not received any suitable return from them. —(Cheers.) I ask The Sun what did they do for us when the fell Coercion Bill was introduced ? Did they come for ward as they ought to repudiate such a heinous measure? I recollect seeing some of the best of those who professed to be on our side, who appeared favourable to our cause, in close consultation with Judge Crampton on the • sub ject of that Bill, taking his opinion on it, no doubt a very impartial and unprejudiced one. Ido therefore complain of the people of England. We might have had some sym pathy from them, but we have had no valid support." In connection with this subject, and after taking an his torical review of Ireland as under the sway of England, Mr. O'Connell said,—" All these things confirm me the more in my position, that we must not look to En"fand, for in addition to those there is that latent, national dislike, un accountable indeed, but which we know, unfortunately, to be true, which renders our hopes of assistance unfounded." He then observed upon the harshness with which free states have generally treated conquered countries, adding " Let the English people return the Tories at the nex t e l ec ti on , if they wish to see injustice to Ireland continued, and we say they are giving us grounds, unanswerable grounds, upon which to start another question, meantime, for the present, I am here agitating, agitating, agitating.—(Cheers.) rgo hence, indeed, immediately, but I anticipate I will be in frequent communication with my friends here, and my " voice from the mountains" will not be more inefficacious because I am amongst the fiistnesses of my native hills —{Cheers.) I have not been able to prepare my address to the English people as I could wish since my arrival in Dublin, but it will not be the less stirring, exciting, or ef- fective when I sit down to my desk after hearing the echoes of my excellent beagles pursuing their game through the romantic dells of Kerry on the one side, and the reverbera tions of the broad and stormy Atlantic coming, in moun tain masses, to break upon the iron-bound cliffs of my native shores on the other.—(Loud and continued ap plause.) I augur well from what I have seen since I came here. The Catholic Association, mighty and powerful as were its after efforts—(Cheers)—it was a rickety and puny bantling in its infancy, although the gigantic strength of its maturity was unparalleled in the annals of national regene ration.—(Cheers.) The General Association, now in the third week of its existence, is double what the Catholic Association was, even in its second year.—(Hear.) Besides, the Catholic Association was a long time before it numbered many Protestant gentlemen in its ranks. Ultimately, how ever, out of the 14,000 members which composed it, 1,400 were Protestants.—(Cheers.) One noble feature in the General Association is, that it is only by accident I, or any body else, can know who are Protestants and who are Catholics.—( Hear.) lam convinced that more than one third of our present numbers are Protestant, and some of • our largest subscribers are Protestant.—(Hear.) Our funds are augmenting, and I see the numbers of Irishmen.' of-all religious persuasions; swelling our ranks daily, and from the universal, national feeling which appears to actu- ate the inhabitants of this country, of all classes, I am con fident it will be a far more influential body than ever the THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1836. Catholic Association us." The Hon. Gentleman sat down amid the most enthusiastic cheering, and left the room im mediately after he terminated the address, of which the above is but an outline. The General Association met on Thursday, which is to be the day of meeting in each week for the future. Mr. O'CONNELL moved that the appointment of the county reporters of registry should be fixed upon at once. He would take upon himself to report for the county Kerry, and during his absence he would have frequent communi cation with the Association. His son would undertake a similar duty in the borough of Tralee.—(Hear.) He then moved that the committees and all the officers of the Association should be appointed by ballot. There were two tithe martyrs at present in Dublin, and as during their absence their families might suffer severely, if unable to get in their crops, he moved that a sum sufficient for that purpose should be sent to them out of the justice rent. The reg istration in the c ity i s i n f avour o f th e f ac ti on ; but th e Lberals have only to stir in order'to secure victory. IMEAICIC MEETING.—Some of the first men in the county assisted at the meeting, and the expressions of con fidence in, and gratitude to, the Lord Lieutenant, were unbounded. In the course of the proceedings it was dis tinctly stated that the unprecedented general peace of the country was solely . to be set down to the credit of the .course of impartial justice pursued by Lord Mulgrave and His• Majesty's Ministers. To this fact Mr. Barrington, the Crown Solicitor, and Major Vokes, Chief Magistrate of .Police (die best authorities certainly that could be pro duced), bore unequivocal testimony. It is the same in every part of the South and West, as well as in the home counties. Thanks to the Orangemen, Ulster forms an ex ception. But only give us two years more of Lord Mul grave's Administration, and we shall have also to celebrate the tranquillity and prosperity of the North.—Dublin Evening Post. LOST IN THE Fon. !—Pursuant to ancient usage, at an early hour this m orn i ng th e L or d, M ayor or Dublin, ac companied by the High Sheriff and the city officers,' set out for the purpose of perambulating the city's boundaries. On these occasions they go, at low water, a considerable distance out on the strand, for the purpose of " throwing the dart" into the sea, to establish his Lordship's jurisdic tion. Their " Honors" were busily engaged in this cere mony, when an appalling fog came on, and the tide was beginning to rise. Their " Right Worshipfuls," after per forming this ancient ceremony, turned round to proceed.to terra firma again, but, lo! everything was invisible, and they could scarcely see an arm's length before them, and were for some time in a most terrific state of alarm lest they should be completely surrounded by the flowing tide, and sink to rise no more. What. a Corporation Reform would be there, my countrymen ! But, as good luck would have it, they took the right direction, and arrived safe on dry laud, but not until a few of them felt a little like what Sancho Panza did once upon a time. COURT CIRCULAR. The Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount Melbourne, Lord John Russell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Poulett Thomson, Mr. Fox Maule, and other Members of the Admi nistration, were present on Saturday at the annual fish dinner at Blackwall. A 'Cabinet Council was held on Saturday afternoon at the Foreign-office. It was attended by Viscount Melbourne, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount Duncanoon, Lord John Rus sell, Viscount Palmerston, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl of Minto, Sir John Hobhouse, Lord Holland, Mr: Pon lett Thomson, and Viscount Howick. The Council sat an hour and a half. M. Hununelauer, the Austrian Charg6 d'Affaires, transacted business on Saturday at the Foreign•office.

Lord Clonelg left town on Saturday for Toubridge Wells. WINDSOR-SUNDAY. Yesterday morning a part of the Queen's private Band sere naded Tier Majesty beneath her room window on the East Ter race, on the occasion 'of her natal day. A little after one o'clock a large party left the Castle for Virginia Water, in fourteen cf the Royal carriages, the servants in sear:et liveries. The King, the Queen, and the Princess Augusta were in the first carriage; Prince Ern es t o f H esse Ph i l i ppsthal, Earl and Countess Brownlow, Earl and Countess Howe, Lord and Lady Fredetiek Fitzclarence, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Sir J. and La-Jy Gore, Sir Andrew Barnard, Sir C. Thorn ton, and other visitors and members of the Household followed. At Virginia Water the Royal party were joined by many visitors of the neighbouring gentry, who had the honour to dine with their Majesties. An early dinner was served at four o'clock - in the tents to two hundred. The two bands of the regiments stationed here were in attendance, and per formed a number of favourite pieces. As the different toasts were given Royal salutes were fired from the Belvidere Fort, and the frigate on the lake, under the direction of Sir Charles Thornton. Some of the Royal party were afterwards rowed round the lake. Their Majesties and party returned to Windsor about half past eight o'clock, et which time almost every house io their route was illuminated. The weather being very fine, the illu mination had a beautiful effect. Their Majesties were enthu siastically cheered in passing through the town, and also on the banks of the lake, by a very numerous and highly respect ableassemblage. This morning the Rev. Mr. Gossett performed divine ser vice in the private chapel within the Castle to their Majesties and Household. The Queen attended divine service this evening in St. George's Chapel. The service was chaunted by the Rev. Mr. Butterfield. The musical service was Russell's, in A. The anthem, " 0 where shall wisdom be found" (Dr. Boyce), was sung by Messrs. Salmon, Harris, and Mitchell, with ex cellent effect. SPORTIN G INTELLIGENCE. STOCKTON RACES.—THURSDAY. A Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each, h. ft., for two vrs old; colts, Bst. 31b ; fillies, Bst. T. Y.

HEMANS.—The forthcoming Memoirs of Mrs. Hemans will contain interesting particulars and traits of her private character, with a variety of letters written at different periods to the celebrated literary persons of her time. It is riot perhaps generally known that the gen tleman under whose auspices this work appears, and who was her personal friend, gave, at the time of her decease, some brig notices of her, which were copied into most of the perio dical prints, and excited that desire for further information which the present publication will so amply gratify. ATTRITION OF IRON.--The following singular calculation is not only curious from the research and attention necessary to verify its details, but also as a proof of the won derful traffic that must be going on in a country where such results are daily taking place on only one of its public thoroughfares :—lt has been calculated, by an engineer of eminence, that every four-horse coach deposits 12 pounds of iron in every 100 miles of its journey, and that, consequently, assuming the number of coaches passing daily between London and Birmingham alone to be 20, the weight of iron deposited during every transit exceeds 250 pounds.

On Saturday the ATTORNEY-GENERAL brought in three Bills, the object of which is to amend certain. defects in the Municipal Corporation Act. As the , particular points to which these Bills refer are not of a political character, and as the principles involved hi them have already been discussed and sanctioned by both Houses of Parliament, it is expected that no opposition will be made to their being passed without going through the ordinary for►ialities. To facilitate their progress, the Standing Orders of the House of Commons will be suspended, and no doubt the same course will be pursued in the House of Lords, when. the Bills get there. The first of these Bills relates to . the administration of justice. The second makes temporary provision for the boundaries of certain boroughs, repealing so much of the Act for regulating Corporations, as providQs that the metes and bounds of every borough and county named in:the said Act, shall include the whole of the liberties of such borough and county by land and water, and refixing the boundaries as they were before the passing of the said Act. The third is intended to provide for the better administration of the Borough Fund, by enlarging the powers of the Mayor and Council in certain cases, and rendering it obligatory on the Council to transmit to one of his MAJESTY'S 4 Secretaries of State an annual account of the receipt<:, and expenses of the Corporation, an abstract of which is to be laid before Parliament. Madrid Journals to the 7th inst. have been received, from which copious extracts arc given in another part of The Sun. They detail the particulars of an insur rectionary movement in the capital o❑ the evening of thod, the object of which was to proclaim the Con stitution of 1812. This commotion was quashed at the very commencement by General QUESADA, famous for his street victories over brawling boys and revolu tionary water-carriers. On the morning of the 4th, Madrid was proclaimed in a state of siege, though not the slightest symptom of disaffection was apparent. Of course the Press was not suffered to escape un scathed. The first act of the Government was to pro hibit the publication of the Eco, the Nacional, the Patriota, and the Castellano—all Journals advocating liberal principles. This decree was followed by another for dissolving the National Guards, in order that that force might be re-organized conformably to the Ordi nance of March 1835. We have carefully examined the various accounts o: this insurrectionary movement in Madrid received by our Contemporaries of every shade of opinion, and we have come to the conclusion that the whole was but a trick of the Government. In the first place the Royal Decree declaring the capital in a state of siege is dated the 2d inst., and countersigned the 4th, so that it was drawn up, and ready one clear day before the slightest disturbance, or even the rumour of a disturbance, took place. Again, QUESADA had all his preparations made, and the streets barricadoed, before a single con • spirator made his appearance. Lastly, the National Guards, on whom the suspicions of the Government would appear to have fallen, did not employ the arms in their hands against any person, notwithstanding the gross provocations which they received from QUESADA and his satellites. To make this evident, we subjoin a copy of the decree, pledging ourselves for the correct ness of the date for which the correspondents cf the Times and the Chronicle are both vouchers : " MADRmens—The publi c t ranqu illi ty h as b een a lt ere d by some individual s , who have forgotten the good sense and prudence which characterises this heroic population. " The majority of the meritorious National Guard was sur prised by the beat to arms (generala), which was ordered by those who had no authority for it. Thus arose the meeting or formation of the battalions. " In this state has the following royal decree been communi cated to me. " Her Majesty the Queen Governess has been pleased to direct to the President of the Council of Ministers the follow. ing royal decree:— In consequence of public tranquillity being disturbed, and threatening disorders like those which have taken place in other parts of the Monarchy, and after hearing the advice which for such cases the Councils of Government and of Ministers have given me, I have decreed, and do decree, the following Ist. The town of Madrid is declared in a state of siege, and all its authorities under the command of a superior military one. 2nd. A military commission is formed, which will try the offenders of sedition, and every one who may happen to commit any kind of crime, until the state of siege shall cease by a fresh royal decree. Do take notice, and' order the needful for its fulfilment. It is subscribed by the royal hand. By royal order communicated by the Secretary of State of thq Borne Depart. ment, I transcribe it to you for government and corresponding elects for its fulfilment. God save you many years. " ALE SANDRO OLIVAN, Under Secretary, " Senor Civil Governor of this Province. " Madrid, August 2, 1836. When I announce to you this sovereign determination, my authorit) has ceased to exist ; but at the same time I cannot help to recommend to you good order and submission to the laws, without which it is impossible that the state of siege of this great population could cease: " MARIANO VALERO Y ARTETA. " Madrid, August 4." " Civil Governor. We would impress the fact upon the minds of our readers, that no disturbance took place, and that no rumour of a disturbance was circulated in Madrid be fore the evening of the 3d, and yet the Royal Decree, declaring the City in a state of siege is dated the 2d. But it may be argued that the mistake of the date was the consequence of extreme haste. Admitting this, how was such an order conveyed to the capital in the course of five hours, the QUEEN being then at La Granja, forty miles distant ? No Member of the Cabinet, no Courier, no Messenger of any kind, pro ceeded or was dispatched to La Granja, from the com mencement of the emeute till after the City was pro claimed in a state of siege. How then was the Royal Order conveyed so expeditiously to the Civil Gover nor ? But it is a waste of time to follow up this inquiry. The truth seems to be that the Government planned the whole affair as soon as it was ap prized of the doings of the Constitutionalists at Cadiz. Its objects were probably these desired to convey to the Constitutionalists, in the least offensive way possible, the determination of the REGENT not to adopt the Constitution of 1812. It sought, moreover, to impress them with a conviction of its strength anti its clemency : with a knowledge of the facility with which it could disarm opposition, and its readiness to confine itself within the bounds of moderation in the repression of an insurrectionary spirit. Such is our opinion of the recent occurrences in the capital of Spain—an opinion which is confirmed by another order of the Government, permitting the re-ap pearance of two of the prohibited Journals. If that opinion be well founded, we think the game now played by IsTt.uz is an extremely dangerous one. No go vernm'ent ought to concern itself with plots which is not so absolute as to have the power of disposing of its secret agents without regard to public opinion. Besides, if the Spanish people are resolved upon having the Con stitution of 1812, any opposition to it on the part of the REGENT will only accelerate the triumph of the multi tude. With the single exception of MALAGA, the Constitutionalists have conducted themselves with a degree of forbearance which will go far towards con vincing other countries that they are well qualified to exercise the privileges for which they are now con- tending. Such a measure as that which the Government is supposed to have had recourse to on the evening of the 3d, aie never wholly inoperative. If it fail, the in evitable consequence will be, that the Constitution will be proclaimed in Madrid. Plots, when unsuccess ful, are generally fatal to those who have recourse to them. It is usual on such occasions to proclaim the triumph of the enemies of order : it would he more correct to report that a crime had been committed which would never have been dreamt of, but for the unnecessary jealousy and idle suspicions of the Go vernment. Since the above was written, we have received the Messager, together with the other Paris papers of Saturday. This journal asserts, on the authority of a letter from Madrid, dated the 6th inst., that on that day a real outbreak had taken place at Madrid, the people no doubt incensed at the unnecessary precau tion of the Government. After a few hours fighting the troops under QUESADA evinced symptoms of a disposition to join the Constitutionalists, when an armistice was concluded, and order was partially re stored. We learn from the same source, that Count DE HAYNEVAL offered the QUEEN a safe asylum in France, provided she would persist in opposing the recognition of the Constitution. M. ARGUELLES is said to be at the bottom of the plan for proclaiming the Constitution—a measure to which he would not have had recourse, had the elections proved unfavourable to Ministers. We give no heed to such rumours as this. M. ARGUELLES has no need to resort to plots or conspiracies, in order to make the Spanish nation acquainted with his views. In a word, we cannot vouch for the authenticity of the re ports published by the French Journals. They may be correct, and there may not be a word of truth in them. The Frcnch Government only is correctly in formed of what is taking place in Spain ; but it declines to publish any part of the intelligence which is hourly conveyed to it by telegraph. A powerful section of the people of England is preparing to aid the Spanish nation in its struggle for the re-establishment of the Constitution of Cadiz. While we write, a meeting is being held at the Crown and Anchor, presided over by several Members of the Legiskture, the object of which is to encourage the Constitutionalists in their efforts to re-assert the inde pendence secured to them by this celebrated charter of their liberties, by convincing them that the sympathies of this country are enlisted in their favour. The pru dence of such a proceeding may be safely questioned at the present moment. If the Constitutionalists in Spain be not so strong in numbers and resources as they are represented, it is cruel to encourage them in a career which must terminate in their own destruction. If, on the other hand, they be found all-powerful, it were wiser to attempt to direct their proceedings by a regular address, than to hurry them into the commission of excesses by the passing of some four or five laudatory but abstract resolutions. Copies of those about to be submitted to the meeting held this day have been forwarded to us. We shall ; give them in the order they stand upon the paper, with a word or two of comment upon each : " That in 1812 a liberal Constitution was established by the free will of the universal Spanish nation, then contend ing for its independence, in concert with Great Britain, acting as an ally of Spain." This resolution is merely declaratory of a fact, and therefore we shall pass it over without much notice. It contains however an assumption which truth does not warrant—namely, that the Constitution of 1812 was established by the free will ?f the universal Spanish e nation. There were thousands of Spaniards who detested the Constitution from the moment it was first spoken o f i n S pa i n ; tens o f t h ousan d s o f Spaniards were wholly ignorant of its purport then, and continue so to this hour; and there were more than a million of subjects who were indifferent as to its very existence. The second resolution is as follows : " That the Constitution, after being temporarily sup pressed by the treachery of Ferdinand on his restoration, and happily re-established in the year 1822, was only to be put down by a foreign force of 100,000 men, under the Duke of Angouleme—thus affording an evidence of its practical strength, and its adaptation to the wants and wishes of the Spanish people." - That the Constitution could only have been put down by 100,000 French bayonets is another some what unwarranted assumption. Had the tyrant FER DINA ND known how to distinguish between an insti tution and the authors and supporters of it, he would have succeeded in putting down the Constitution with out the presence of a single foreign regiment. But his insane :wickedness paved the way for the re-esta blishment of tl Constitution, though it succeeded for a time in ridding Spain of the presence of its most powerful supporters. The third resolution runs thus:— '° That this Constitution has high claims on the respect of the people of England, as being founded on an exten sively popular representation, giving to every Spanish citi' zen the right of voting for electors in the Primary Electo ral Assemblies, though modified by the fact, that it is mil)? the electors thus chosen who finally elect the Deputies." In this opinion we most heartily concur. The fourth resolution is thus drawn up : " That the principal defect alleged against the Constitu tion of 1812—that it is without a House of Peers—is " t one on which the people of England are at this moment disposed peremptorily to insist." This is decidedly going too far. The people Of England are not disposed peremptorily to insist upon any particular form in the legislative organization of the Spanish Cortes. All that we seek for ourselves is the responsibility of the Peerage, not the dissolution of the Upper House ; and it would be strange indeed if we were peremptorily to insist upon obtaining mor e for a people less capable of exercising their political functions with discretion. Besides, the question of two Chambers or one, is altogether one which the Spanish people have an exclusive right to settle among and for themselves. The fifth and last resolution is one which we shall leave to the consideration of the public That this meeting hails the declaration of the Consti tution of 1812, in like manner, and for like reasons, as it re joiced in the occurrence of the Three Days' of July► 1830, in France, and as affording the only human probv bility of restoring peace in Spain." We cannot close these observations without o bsery ing that we have always, and on every occasion, e%' pressed ourselves in favour of the Constitution .°I 1812. We doubt, however, the possibility of est''' blishing it at the present moment, without exposing Spain to the danger of a war with France. We ar e greatly mistaken in our estimate of Louis Pill' LIPPE'S character, if he consent to the establishmen t of such a Constitution so near the French frontier.
