This province enjoys the greatest tranquillity, and there it

heads of justice.

LONDON.

MONDAY, JULIi 15,
Letters and Papers have been received from Ma-
drid to the 6th instant. The disorder which mani-
fested itself on al'3llst last, on the return of the
Kuica from proroguing the Cortes, has led to a mu-
tiny of the troops, which may produce still more se.
'ions coo•equences. Irritated by the insults of the
populace, who never ceased to reproach them u sup.
porters of Oespotism, four battalions of the royal
guards, wfatlunting to between 3,500 and 4,000
men, niwitniek. and withdrawing themselves from
their officers. •marched to the Prado, where they
raised the staadard of revolt, demanded rations,
and appointed delegates to treat for them. The
private letters state, that up to the eveningof the
6th no accommodation had taken place. Frequent
interviews are said to have taken place between the
KING and his Minister., in which the latter strongly
urged his &Linty,' to sanction with his name the
promulgation of some official document, declaring
his ditspprohation at the conduct of the guards, aad
,designating thus by the titleof rebels to their cove.

An apprehension, to which the vacillating cone
t of the KING gave some cause, appears to have
been entertained by the Ministers, that FERDINAND
might suddenly adopt the resolution of placing him-
self under the protection of the refractory troops ;
and they urged him, therefore, to repair to some
place of safety, where his person, should the troops
be incited to so daring an attempt, might be secure
from seizure. To this proposition also the KING
returned a decided negative, with the remark, that
his guards were faithful, and that be had nothing to
fear from them. Private letters express a confident
opinion, that although the country be in a convulsed
state, without money, credit, or confidence, the
Constitution will stand firm against all domes-
tic attacks. No dsogerous disaffection exists except
what bas been evinced in the royal guards, unless
it be in the breast of the KING himself.

Pars Papers of Thursday and Friday have been
received. The KING has had a slight cold, but is
reported Much better. The sccouuts from Madrid
come dose's may to the 3d, and are divested of the
interest which they would otherwise possess, by
later and more authentic intelligence from that
capital.

An attempt on the part of the Greeks to carry
Napoli di Romania by storm is stated to have
failed, from want of concert in their operations.
The Commander of the English vessel of war the
fifedka, is said to have compelled the Greeks to
reltore an English vessel, captured for a tiolation
of the blockade of Canea, in Crete.

The reran opened on Thursday at 9t f. 45 c.
fell to 91 f. 20 cs and left off at 911. 30 c. _

A Lisbon Mail hu arrived with Papers to the
29th nit. They are principally filled with discus-
sions in the Cortes, on the additional articles to the
Constitution of Braid. The Committee, to whom
the /object had been referred, declare in their
Report, that an absolute union between the two
kingdoms was impossible, and recommended that
there should be two Assemblies of Cortes, one in
each kingdom. After two days' discussions the
further consideration of the subject was adjourned.

His Majesty's yacht the Royal George, Cando.
dore the Hon. Sir CHARLES PAGET, will go out of
Portsmouth harbour to-morrow. Sir CHARLES has
returned to his seat, Fair Oat, after inspec►ing the
progress of he► equipment. His M.►arsTY is not
expected to embark before the first week in Au-
gust. No intimation has been given that it is his
MAJESTY'S intention to go to Scotland in his yacht,
as stated in London papers this week.—(Ha*p-
shire Telegraph.)

The Dash& Freeman's Josernal of Thursday
last. received at our Office, has but sue para.
graph on the subject of the distress io the:south-
west of Ireland, but this paragraph is terrific, and,
although brief. speaks volumes of misery. It !lays--
6. We understand that one hundred and forty persons have
died of starvation and fever in one pariah is the minty of
Mayo, during the short space of ten days. The greatest
anxiety prevails in Dublin to ascertain the particslarv:.: this
intraordinary calamity."
If the tree be judged by its fruit', the anxiety
which this appalling intell.gence must excite will
not be less in Enghut:: than it is in Dublin. The
parochial collsctions, in obedience to the Kroci's
Letter, pour in rapidly for the recruit of the nearly
exhausted coffers of the Committee sitting at the
City of London Tavern. The whole amount of
subscriptions received is upwards of 150,00 W.

A letter dated Kingston (Jamaica), 27th May,

cient ballist, they were upset with their passenger..
