FLANDERS AND HANBURGH MAILS.

It is said that a Trea,y has been concluded be-
tween our Cabinet ■nd that of London. by which
we are ..aa►ed -of the protection or the British

LONDON.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19. 1819.

The Paris Papers of Monday lost convey the
satisfactory assurance, that the epidemic malady
which ravages Andalusia begins at length to de-
crease. It appears by the extracts they communi-
cate from the Madrid Papers of the 4th of Novem-
ber, that tne mortality in Cadiz had diminished in
the proportion of one-fourth within the space of ten
days, and that the number of sick. which amounted
on the 18th of October to no less than 14,338 per-
son., did trot on the 28th exceed 6,960. In Seville
the malady seemed also to have abated some of its
virulence, and although its ravages had somewhat
extended themselves in Puerto Santa Maria ■nd
Xeres de Is Fontera, hopes are entertained that the
fever has passed its crisis, and that the province of
Andalusia will soon be restored to its usual health.

The King of FRANCE appear, to hove 'nippily

overcome his late indisposition, but it is cot inti-
mated whether his MAJESTY will open the Session
of the Legislative Chambers iu person or by Corn-
missiou. The Society called the Friends to the
Liberty of the Press, appear to have excited in an
extreme degree the hostility of the Ministers.
They are uo longer permitted to hold their meet-
iugs in a public manlier, ■nd the Ministers seem
resolved to invade the sacredness of private resi-
deuce to complete their destruction. For this pur-
pose they caused General TAILAYIE, at whose
house the Society occasionally held their meetings,
to be summoned before the Jorge d'lnserretion,
preparatory to a criminal process against the mem-
bers of the Society; but the General reposed upon
the Charter, and he refused to answer questions
which were not authorised by its provisions. No
intimation is given that the u►embers of the Society
have in any respect forgotten the duty they owe
to their Sovereign and country. It is, therefore,
strange, that the present Ministers of France, to
whose exertions liberty is much indebted, should
wish to persecute any individuals merely for their
attachment to a free l'ress.

Another change has liken place in the Spanish
Ministry. .Dou Joss luau, the Minister of Fi.
mince. has been restored to Isis former situation of

Director-Genend of Annuities. and the poriefewille
alike Finances has been transferred to Don Axio.
PIO GONZ•LCZ SALMON. Honorary Counsellor in
the War Deportment. Don Jose lIIAR had Inc.
seeded the celebrated GoliAT in September 1818,
and completely disappointed the expectations which
had been entertained of him. The uuly financial
measure suggested Ly him ass the negotiation of
a loom the retention of *lnch was intrusted to the
Minister of War. It is hoped that SALMON will

carry into dr.-et some or the projects which had
been devised by GARAY.

German Papers strived last night. The perk..
cations against the Jews seem not to have yet ter-
minated. Accounts from Copenhagen say, that
very serious disturbances broke nut at Elsineur
on
the same day es at Copenhagen, end that the popu-
lace threatened to exterminate all the Jews if they
did lint hasten their departure as soon as possible.
Ittis,is is said to be making rapid strides towards
the establishment of • naval power. The number
of her ships of war iv continually increasing.
It is stated in an article from Frankfort, that the
number of students in the University of Gottingen
is rapidly increasing, and that they are now actuat-
ed
by the best principles. Their excellent conduct
has attracted the attention of the Government, and
the P►ofessors have in consequence obusined honours
and distinctions. Some rumours have prevailed in
Vienna, that one of the Archdukes was to be crest-
ed King of Gallicia, but they are manifestly witb-
out any "Railway.

It iii repnrieri that hi* Highne9a the Hereditary
Prince of Ile.sa Homnoutta will be appointed
Commander-in-Chief iu Bohemia, in the room of
the late General Count ..1Z LEN AU.

flainborgli and Flanders 1114i:s have arrived,
with Pepe,. Isom the former city to the 13th, and
from Brussels to the 161 i instant. It is stated,
under the head of Madrid, that a Treaty has been
entered into by England and Spain, by which the
former is to co-operate in reducing the Insurgent
Colonies of South A rn.lrica to subjection. The
consideration which England is to receive for this
Quixotic service is not mentioned ; bat even that
omission is not necessary to discredit this ac-
count.—The restraints upon the liberty of the
press in the kingdom of Prussia have excited
great discontent and disappointment. The people
expected that it would be ;diced upon the same
footing as the press in England. It is curious
to observe the anxiety of the Continental nations to
imitate the Constitution of England as a model of
perfection, at the moment when our Radicals pro-
claim it totally defective, and Ministers threaten its
existence by laws subversive of its most essential
principles.—The Emperor of RUSSIA has returned
to St. Petersburglt from Warsew. In that country
also • laudable spirit of improvement in the state
of society is derived from English example.
Among the new philanthropic societies and esta-
blishments recently formed in the capital, are two
for the amelioration of the condition of persons con•
fined iu prison.

Last night, at nine o'clock, the PRINCE REGENT
arrived at Carlton House, from Brighton, accom-
panied by Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD.

A copy of Lord E••INOTON'S letter, announcing
Isis refusal to sign what is called a Loyal Declara-
tion for the County of Devon, is given in • subse-
quent column.

The proceeding. in the Court of King's Bench
this Term increase from day to day in interest and
importance. The political occurrences which,
during the course of the long vacation, occupied
and distracted the public mind, are in their regular
course developed in the King's Bench, to undergo
the temperate and careful revision of the sages of
the law, who, abstracted from the vulgar prejudices
and passions of the conflicting parties, will apply to
the acts of each the strict principles of justice.
The proceedings which took place in the Guild-
hall of the City of London, on Michaelmes-day
last, were yesterday made the subject of an appli-
cation to the Court of King's Beach. The circum-
stances of this case are fresh in the minds of our
readers, but they will be found succinctly repeated
in the statement yesterday made to the Court by
the SOLICITOR•GIENZIAL. Upon the facts therein
contained, the Learned Gentleman applied for
• criminal information against Mr. Sheriff PAR-
KINS, Mr. Alderman UVAIritY•N, Mr. HUNT,
and other Liverymen, for having riotously in-
terrupted the regular business for which the
Common Hall was summoned. The most sin-
gular part, however, of the complaint was, that
au insult of a very gross nature had been offered to
the Common Serjeant—a comparison having been
instituted between him and JErreates, some time
Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, mud
Lord Chancellor of England. We remember that
the Learned Gentleman was said to have been de-
signated, on the first day of the Lord Mayor's
election, by some unlucky wag in the crowd, by the
title of Little le/. It is admitted, that whatever
is intended as an insult may be received as such,
and probably for this reason the Learned Gentle-
man thought himself bound to be very indignant
at the contemptuous appellation ; but possibly had
the epithet of little been spared, and the name of
the Judge not been so unceremoniously contracted,
the Learned Gentleman would not have felt it a
very great reproach to have been compared to one
ao distinguished for !aiming, though unfortunately
so notorious for his slavish obedience to the will
of Royalty...-The Court granted a conditional rule
against the parties.

Yesterday the Earl of Livnitrooi. and Viscount
CASTLIIIMAGIII had • long consultation with Vis.
coant Stossoutu, at the Secretary of State's Office
for. the Hose Deponmenst.
