SPANISH STATE PAPER. THE KING. • "Slice the period when Divine Providence, in consequence of the spontaneous and solemn re siguation•ot my august father, placed me on the throne of inv. ancestors; of which the kingdom took the-:oaths to . me as heir by its procurators assembled in •Cortes, - -aecording to the law and custom of -the Spanish nation, practised in the most rimote periods ;' and since that happy day on which I entered the capital amidst time most sincere demonstrationS' Of affection anti loyalty .with whieh time people of Ma . f i 'd came out to re ceive me, this display.of love towards my Royal Person making a deep impression .on the French hosts; who., under. the cloak of friendship, had advanced as far as that city, being a presage of ;What that heroic ,population would.one day per-, form for. their King, and for their honour, and giving that example 'which the other parts, of the kingdom have nobly followed : tiner,that.day, determined in mv royal mind to 'reply to senti ments so loyal, and to satisfy the great obliga tions which a Bing is iindem towards his subjects; to tl:dicate my whole time to the discharge .. .of such august functions, and to repair the evils the pernicious influence of a favourite bad caused in the preceding reign. My first labours were directed to the testoration of various Magistrates and otkr persons, who had been arbiti:arty :;e -moved from their functions ;- but the difficult state of `affairs, and' the perfidy , of Buonaparte, film the cruel effect of which I wished, by pro-' ceeding to Bayonne, to preserve my people, s . careely allowed time for moire. . The Royal Family being .ussernhied- there, an atrocious attack was perpe trated_ on the whole of it, and particularly on my pei-son, unetinalled in the hiStory of eiviliSed nit tions, both in its circumstances and in the series of events which took place there ; hntl the sacred law of nations In lug there violated in the high est degree. I was deprived of my liberty, stripped of the government of my kingdoms, and conveyed to a palace with mysvery dear brother and uncle, which strved as a sort of honourable prison for about the space of six years. Amidst this afflic tion, I had always present to my mind time love and loyalty of my people ; and the consideratiQn of the endless calamities to which they were ex posed, formed• a great part of my griefs ; inna 'dated as they were with eiteniies, neatly destitute of ail menns.of resistance, without King, and without a Government previously. established, which _ might put in motion and unite at its voice .the force of the nation, &reef its impTilse, and avail itself of the resources of the State, to com bat the forces which simultaneouSly invaded the Peninsula, and had treacherously ' ot possession of its principal fortresses. In this lamentable si tuation, as the only remedy that remained, I is sued, as , well as could, while surrounded by force, .the Decree of the sth of May, I SOS, ad ,dressed to the Council of Castile, and in defect of it, to any other Board or Audience that might be at liberty, 'in order that time Cortes might be cOnvoked,.who had only to employ themselves on _be spur of the monacht,in raising the taxes and supplies necessary for the defence of the king dom, remaining permanent for other events which might occur but thiS My Royal Decree unfortu nately, was not know there ; and althOugh it was afterwards known, the -Provinces provided for the same olieet, as soon as time accounts reached them cf the cruel •tragedy perpetrated in Madrid on the .memorable 2d of May, by the Chief of the French. troops, through the instrumentality of the Junta's . which they.created. Next took place the glorious ,battle of Biyien : the French fled as far as Vit., toria, and all the Province's, with time Capital, proclaimed me anew, King of Castile and Leon, u, the metropnlis, with the same . formalities as the Kings, ny august predecessors. This is a re cent tact, • of which the medals struck in all parts afford tiemonative proof, and which the peo ple through whom I have pa.sed-sittee my return !rum France have confirmed by the effusion of tints which moved the sensibility of my heart, where they are engraved never to be effaced.— From time deputies nominated by tbs Juntas, the Ce.,:r4ral Junta was formed ;,. who exercised in my lioyal name ail the Bowers of Sovereignty, from September If3oB, till January 1810 ; in which month was established time first Council of Re gency, in whom the exereite of• that power con . tinued till time '24th of. September of the saute year : en which day were installed, in the Isle of Leon, the . Cortes, .called General and Extraordi nary, when 104 Deputies took the oaths, in which they engaged to preserve for me my dominions as their Sot ereign ; all which appears from the act certified' by . the Secretary of State, Don Nicolas Maria de Sierra. But these Cortes, asseinhled in a mann& never used in Spain; even•in the most arduous eases, and in the most tor • buieut times of.the minorities of Kings, in which the .Assetn bly, of Procurators wont to be more numerous than n Vie 'common and ordinary Cortes, were nut called the States cif-the 2V it and. Clergy, although the Cent-rat Junta had so ordered, this Decree having- been akfully concealed front -the Council of Regency, and also the fact that the".lunta had assigned to it the Presidency of time Cortes, a prerogative of the Crown 'which the ltygelicy would not have left to the de eiSion of the Congress, if it had been acquainted there with. In conseveuce of this, every thing remained at the dispoial-of the Cortes: who, on the very day m*their installs- Con, and by way of commencement fa:their acts, despoiled ins of my Sovereignty,: which the same Deputies had only a little befire acknowledged, ascribing - it nominally to the nation, in under to appropriate it to themselves„ and then, npon such usurpation; to dictate to. the nation such laws as they pleased, imposite; upon. it the yoke by which it sho.uld recei):c''them catnin;lsotaly a new •Con slitutioa, which the DePuties established without authority attic provimies; Pv"Pte; or juntas, and vi:ithout the know ledge,uf those provinces, which were said tote represented by substitutes froaa Spain and the Indies. This Constitution ..they sanctioned and piihrished in 1812. This first attack up .on the prerogatilres of the Throne, abusing. the mime of the Nation, became., as it were, the basis of Inauy other' attacks w hi c h f o li o elIfit;• and, In spite of .the repugnauee of many o p ti o , re iips of the inaority, thee were adolltell, a iol raised to the raoI: of laws, which they called firodern.entat,by means of thesliouts, threats, and violence of those who at , teirded_ ju the 4:a of the Corior, which 'they 'ul.frated amid .terrified; and that which was iu froth the - work of a fat ivu, v...as clothed with the specious mask of, the .q - eneral will and for such Will, that of few sediCrous pel:Sons,Twho in Cadiz, and afterwards ill ;Madrid, (,cetLt.ioued alliiction to all 1,;••pod_ citizens, node their own to pass. These facts are so no torious, 'that there is scarcely' ;ivy one who, is ignorant of -then: ; and the very (if theCurte.efurnish an.tpleproof . t f thym. A wode of making laws so forekn to the Spanish nation, ga . vt. occ,sion . an ferati6ri of the good laws under which, iat olLer theses, it war> respected and la truth, aluttot • all the feint., of The ancient Cenititutient of the Monarchy were innovated even; and, copying the revolutionary and democratic principles of the French Constitution of 1791, they sanctioned, nut the fri7zdamentu'l laws •of a moderate Mon veley, but those of a popular Government, with a Chief, or Nlitistrate, their mere delegated executor, and not. a King, although they gave him that name, to deceive and seduce the unwary and the nation. Under the-same want of liberty, this new Constitution was signed and sworn to oand it is known to all, not only what passed With regard to the respect able Bishop sif Orense, but also the punishment with which those Were threatened who refused to sign and swear to it. " To prepare the public mind to receive such novelties, especially those regardlog my ROyal Person and - the peeroga tires of the Crown, the public ilrernspapets were resorted to as a means, some of which the Deputies of the Cortes con ' ducted, and alinsed the Liberty of the Press, established by them, to render .the Royal Power odious; giving to all the rights of Majesty the name of despOtisni—making'King mid Despot•synontmous terms, and &Bing Kings - ?grunts; while :it the same tithe they cruelly persecuted every one who had the firmness - to contradict them, or to dissent from this.revas hationary and seditious mode of thinking; and in every thing democracy was affected, the Army and Navy, and . all other establishments, which, from time immemorial, had been Called - rope!, being stripped of that name, and national sub stituted, with which they flattered the people; who, however, in spite of these perverse arts, retained, by their natural loyalty, the good feelings which always formed .their racter. Of all this, since I have happily entered the king dom, I have seen acquiring. faithful information and know ledge, partly frenn my own observations, and partly - from the public Papers, in which, np to, this very day, representa tions of my arrival. and my character are impudently chym e laced, so gross and infambus in themselves, that even with regard to any other kodiviiinal they would constitnte very heavy offences,: worthy of severe notice and punishment.-- Circumstances sn unexpected leave filled inyeheart with bitter- . !less, which could only be alleviated by the demonstrations of alleetien fret all those who hoped for my arrival, iu order •that by my presence' an end might he pnt to these calamities, - And to the oppression in which those were who retained in their minds the remembrance of my person, and sighed for the true happiness of their country: " I swear and promise to you, true and loyal Spaniards, at the same time, that' s syn - pa th iee with th e evi s.witich you • have euffereel, you shal l stet be disappointed of your neble,esi pectatihns. Your sovereign wishes to ire so on your account, and this he places hie glory, that he is the Sovereign of an heroic nation; whet by their immortal deeds have gained the eldinirathin of the world, and_ preserved their liberty and 110- nol.le.'• I abhor UTIA detest despotism; neither the intelligence eieurcultitation of the nations of Europe could now.hudure it ; nor Zia s :Spain were its Kings ever despots.

COAINIOIq HALL CORN LAWS=BLOCKADE OF NdRIVAY Yesterday a very numerous ,Meeting of the Li very of London was held 16 Gnil uirail, pursuant to requisition, to take into consideration the gobs tions of the proposed alteration in the Corn Im portation Laws, and the 13lockadt ,4 of Norway.— The Crier having read the requisition, The LORD MAYOR said, he had received two re..;. quisitions, numerously signed, for two distinct purposes ; he therefore hoped that they would af ford every Gentleman a patient hearing, as no thing could give such dignity and effect to any public proceeding as temper and modera,tibo. Mr. WAITHmAN said, this Hall was called on A case of great emergency—the Bill in Parliament respecting certain alterations of a Most mataial nature in the present Corn Laws. Ile was aware that lhe subject afforded opportunity for courting popularity, by an appeal to the passions, rather than the judgement of the people ; but that lie should avoid as far as he was able. It had been said in Parliament, that this alteration was not intended to raise the price of bread ; but although that might not be the intention of the promoters of' the measure, it was evident it would have the effect of raising the price of Corn, and come , trendy of every thing else ; by• which means we should be deprived of the benefits of peaces and suffer all time distresses of a state of war, by keeping tip thz"..present exorbitant rents of lands. No man had more respect for the landed interest than, he had ; but the evils of the late war had fallen on the manufacturiog and mercantile class; while the 'landholder Was obtAning exorbitant reins; and he therefore contended, that there was no such extraordinary Measure necessary to secure the inierest,4 of time Landed Proprietors. Were we"to congratulate time Itegen on the corn - - elusion of 'a calamitous war, without heing able to enjoy any of the blessings 'of peace ? Were we to destroy the social Connection bet Ween peace and plenty ? , Were we to.look tan. no 'diminution of public expenditure, nor for any repeal of the Property- Tax, the most nefarious, and degrading of all that had been laid on time nation ? Ile was aware that all . these things could not lie done at once ; bat,' as they were to be alone, would not the into est of the landholder be placed on a fair. tooting ? It was not to he exi m eeted that 'the House of -Peers, being entirety composed . of the landed interest, would he very eager to resist this measure, which would tend so touch to their in terest.: their only hope would be from the Lower I House of Parliament. This - measure - would en hance time price of labour, and would therefore deprive us of the power of a soceessful-competi . - /ion with foreign markets. To protect their trade and commerce, the,foundaf-ions of their national greatness, hecalied upon them to agree to cer tain Resolutions, which he then react, and on Which lie-proposed to found the Petition to-Par liament. It was but justice to the landed Gen tlemen to say, that 'the exorbitant rents were given them by speculators ; hediad heard. of many that- ;had not raised • their rents at all, and of others that had taken measures to lower theirs, so that their tenants might be enabled to live on their farms. Mr. WniirE seconded the motion. This was - . 11 Measure so obnoxious to the interest of the trail ing and manufacturing bodies; that it only required to be seen to be most hateful and disgusting.— ' The promoters of this Meastire called it a Bill to Encourage Agriculture ; and, by a singular per version of the powers of reasoning, they said, it was to lower the price% of Bred, by raising the price of Corn. It tvas-ter starve its now, in order that we should be better fed hereafter. This -put hint in -mind of the-map who wished to teach his horse-to live without food, tiTit the aniival died before the experitnent'was completed._ so'would it be with us if this . ineatire were to pass.' 'lie denied that this would assist the farmer ; for his interest could not be worse served, than by de stroying the trading interest. This measure Would keep the quartern loaf at fifteen-pence ; the spechlatOrs would come in; and raise it, greatly higher. He could not alp ee 'to . the eu logium of his worthy friend oh the landed interest; for when any Charitable subscription teas on foot, for the poor of our own, or the distresses of,other countries, it was from the trading and manufac turing bodies that they must look for the Money. He wished Niel:lon. Baronet, the reputed father of theißill, had confined its benefits, as he origi nally intended, to Ireland, and left us poor silly Englishmen to go on in our old way. The. Bill itself cartied a lie.on the face of it; for, instead of its being called " A Bill to-Encourage Agrict& tune," it should have been entitled '' A Bill to Destroy Trade and Manufactines." lie .would not fatigue them by going into any dry calculations - on the subject ; their own understandings would be sufficient to spew that this Measure - would be ruinous to `trade and commerce, and only raise the landed interest on the destruction of the other branches of the community. Mr. doer,-late Caudidate for Bristol, spoke at great length on the same side. The Resolutions were then read and agreed to, Mr. Alderman.Wooo came forward to propose a PetitiOn to Parliauie►it founded on them. The measure now before. Parliament, he said, could have nu other effect than that of raising the prices a bread, and that at a time when France was able to meet us with manufa,:tures in the foreign market at a rate much lower than a•e•conld. He concluded by moving that the Petition' be read. • Mr. FAVELL seconded the Petition.—He had felt most reluctant to making this a subject of discussion in a popular assembly ; blit be had, 4n reflection, felt convinced, that an appeal to the public opinion on this measure was become ne cessary. He was ready to agree in all the com pliments paid by the. worthy Mover of thiS don to the landed interest. He was ready to acknoWlylge the. obligation which the country at large was under to thc Russells and the Ca vendish es of former dap; and he should most sin cerely regret any idea going abroad that time was a wish to-separate their interest from, and to, sa crifice it to, the manufacturing. interests--no such wish existed ; - theonly feeling Naieh actuated, the opposers of the measure 1.7. as a desire to promote, as `far as possible, the genehd interest of the public. Ptition was then rend, agreed to unanini , iltatotilettil to 13 - e pi'dc-i!eci_ td th‘e House of CommOus by the City rtepresentatives. W.
