LAST NIGHT'S OBSTRUCTION TO REFORM.
The obstruction to the reform movement, offered
last night in the house of Commons, by one party, and the
extr mrdinary dec'aration of another that the middle and
working classes do not desire such reforms as are advocated
by the reform league, have given rise to the following letter
from Mr flume, which he has forwarded to us for publica-
ton :
TO THE REFORMERS OF THE UNITED
KINGDOM.
House or COMMONS, MIDNIOIIT, MAY 23, 1818.
GP.STLEMEN,—You are aware that th; evening was fixed
for bringing forward that important motion respecting the
reform of the representation which had been decided on after
much consideration and communication with the reformers
of the country, as beet adapted to conciliate and unite the
largest amount of public opinion.
A previous motion of Lord George Bentinek's has occu-
pied the attention of the house until after 11 o'clock, when
it appeared •o myself mid friends around me that it was too
late to secure for the question that discussion to which it is
entitled; and I have therefore been compelled to postpone
the motion to the 20th June, that being the earliest vacant-
day on the order hook of the house.
The Prime Minister having seized this opportunity of
stating, in his place, that neither the middle nor the working
class of this country are favourable to the reforms of which
I had given notice, the delay will afford you, the reformers
of the United Kingdom, the means of making known your
op.nions and wishes in the usual constitutional manner.—
I remain your obedient humble servant, JOSEPH HUME.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MAY 23.—Sir C. O'Loughlen moved to-
day
to quash the indictment against Mr. Mitchel, on
technical grounds, but the motion was refused. Coun-
sel then asked for leave till to-morrow to plead,
but it was decided that the prisoner should plead
at once, and be at liberty to withdraw that plea
and demur, if so advised. Mr. Mitchel then pleaded
" Not Guilty." The trial comes off on Thursday.
Mr. 1). Reilly, whose arrest we announce elsewhere,
was admitted to bail.

ARRIVAL OF SIR 11. L. BULWER.

Dover from Boulogne, and proceeded to Loudon by
the GIL 15m. train.

NEWS FROM PARIS.

DISSENSIONS IN THE EXECUTIVE.
DEPARTURE OF THE BRITISH MINISTER

FROM MADRID.
PARIS. TUFADAT, 101
A report prevails this morning that internal dissen-
sion has broken out between the members of the exe-
cutive commission, and that it is about to fall to
pieces. Such a catastrophe is likely to he accelerated
by the nndissembled distrust manifested towards it
by the Assembly. The claims of the executive com-
mission to be entrusted with the external guard of
the assembly has been unanimously rejected.
It was announced that, in the event of the claim to
be absolved from the duties of representatives being
rejected—and it has been—the executive commission
would resign. If this resolution be persevered in,
the internal dissensions will no doubt issue in the
immediate dissolution of the present executive power.
A report prevails that M. Cremieux has resigned
the Ministry of Justice, and will be replaced by M.
Itlethmont.
Tne committee on the constitution, of which M.
Cormeuin is president, sits daily f 4. several hours.
M. Corrnenin has been authori-ed to prepare a draft
of a constitution. M. Lameniiais (who it will
be recollected lately published a projert of a constitu-
tion for the republic) has resigned his seat in the
commission. From this it may he inferred that the
ideas of the ex-Abbe are not in harmony with those
of the majority of the committee.
M. Rethmont is engaged to defend Gen. Courtaw.
M. Jules Fabre is to defend Barnes.
Deerees were s'gned jesterdsy by the executive
commission di solving the clubs of which Itarbes and
lihtterti were presidents. '1 he Minister of the In-
terior is ordered to execute these decrees immediately.
There appears in the Mora/era of this morning a
decree of the executive commission, appointing the
4th June for the election of toe representatives for
: the seats vacated by multiple elections, resignations,
and elections annulled. The number of elections thus
to be made is 49.

MADRID.—The Madrid mails of the 17th and I
18th arrived this morning, by which I received letters
from our correspondent in that capital, announcing
the fact that the Spanish government had sent pass-
ports to Sir Henry Bulwer, who was in the act of
leaving for London, accompanied by his entire diplo-
matic suite, when our correspondent closed his de-
spatches.
The pretext for sendint passports to the British ,
minister, as declared in an official document sent with'
the passports, is the alleged fact that documents
and correspondence had come into the hands of
the government, proving that Sir Henry Bul
wee had encouraged and fomented the re-
cent revolts against the government, and especially
that of Seville below mentioned, and in general that
he had intrigued with the progressist party against
the moderados. It was further added that the people
of Madrid had become so exasperated against the
British minister that the government could not
answer for his personal safety.
A serious military insurrection broke out at Seville
on the 13th, which was headed by several officers.
The captain-general of Andalusia took active mea-
sures for its repression, and after a severe conflict, it
appears that the government remained masters of the
lield,although they had by far the worst of the lighting.
They were driven out of the suburbs of Triana, in
which the revolted took up a position at half-past
two in the morning ; and their attempt to follow the
insurgents, when these retreated on the road to
Auelva, was completely unsuccessful.
No intelligence had yet been received as to the
ultimate result of the conflict which could be relied
on. The government accounts represent it however
as having ended in the complete defeat of the re-
volted.
I'.S.—Sir H. Bulwer and suite left for London on
the evening of the 18th. Mr. Otway, the principal
attache, remained iu charge of the embassy. All the
rest of the cillarlti,s accompanied the minister. Mr.
Brackenbury, the British consul, also remained.
The Conde de Mirasole was en the point of depar-
ture for London, commissioned by the government to
eater into explanations with Lord Palmerston en this
subject.
