PhOTESTAST PET:TM:VS.—A Protestant petition, in favour
of Catholic Emancipation engraved and impressed upon vellum,
was yesterd mornidg laid upon the table of the Cltb-room,
Bibernian Hotel, by -William Bayly. of forelands, Esq. It is
'Signed by amitral of the leading Nobility connected with Ireland,
and has already obtained the signatures of almost all the County
Protestant gentlemen now assembled et this city, in attendance on
'line diorites. We understand that Protestant petitions will be sent
up to Parliament from every part of Ireland next Sessions, and
that they will bear the signatures of by far the latter portion of the
intelligent Proteatants of the caunty.—fc/nrftr (Kilkenny) Jour-
nal. Jury 30.
On Friday morning last a woman, of the name of Jordan, who
was brought up in the Established Church from her infancy, died
within one mile of the town of Longford. From conviction she
wished to become a Catholic, and called for the Priest, when her
husband said, be would shoot any Popish Priest who would dare
to come there. The parson went to visit lin before her death, but
she made a motion with her hand to him to keep off, so the poor
woman did rot get the benefit of any clergy. This was the fourth
Protestant who became a convert to the Catholic faith in this neigh.
bourhood within these three weeks past; all are now dead. She
was the daughter of an apostate priest, of the name of Sweeny,
who became a proselyte to the Established Church about 40 years
ago.—DrsAlirsi Freeman's Jo:.rnal.
It is With extreme regret we have to record the death, by drown.

. This regretted young gentleman, who had but a few days ago at.
maned his 21st year, was on a visit with his onele, the Rev. Mr.
...Digby. of Landenstown, near Naas. On the morning ot"flitirs.

si the canal, that she saw a gentleman strip about an hour
- • go into the water. On proceeding to the place, his
Oda were found, but no sign of his person, till about three
Wigs after, when his body was taken up with all appearance of life
extinct. Mr. Digby was a young gentleman of great promise, and
had just completed his College course; lit had but lately been put
in possession of considerable property ; and, it is said, was on the'
eve of forming a most respectable matrimonial Cooo,36oll.—Dalin

The struggle in t re Spanish Cabinet between the partisans
of M. ZCA and M. CA LOSI REIR is not decided, nor does
it seem probable that it soon will be. Each of these
Ministers, though quite opposed in their respective systems
of government, enjoys to all appearance in an equal degree
the favour of the Kt,eo. M. CA LOYARDE iS supported by
the Priests and violent Rlalists, and will most likely
prevail. Because M. ZEA inclines to a moderate course,
he is represented to aim at the ruin of the Monarchy. The
failure of his endeavour to obtain a loan in London (no
fault of his, by the by), is said to have given " the final
blow to the public credit" of Spain. Hit object is stated
to be, " to reduce the Kim) to the dreadful necessity of
subscribing to every thing proposed to him." The fact is,
that " the final blow to Spanish credit" was given by the
Kix° himself, and that very party who charge upon M.
ZEA the commission of the deed which he has only dis-
covered. FERDINAND must submit "to the dreadful ne-
cessity" of adhering to his engagement, or he must sub-
sist, if he can, on the bounty of the Priests, or the sale of
licenses. The latter is the only expedient left to bring
single real into the Royal treasury, unless, under the name
of forced loan, the gcvcrnment proceeds at once to seize
the property of its unhappy subjects.
[From the Qvgidieswe of Monday.],
PRIVATE CORRZSPONDENCE.

MADRID, JULY 21.
The Royal Family is at St. Ildefosso, whither the two Minister',
Calomarde and tea. have accompanied the King, which proves
that his Majesty yet hesitates respecting the decision which he shall
come to with regard to the systems adopted by their Eicellencies,
each of whom enjoys equal favour. This crisis cannot last long,
because M. Zea has on his aide the moderate party, and perhaps
even the Liberals. M. Calomarde, on the other band, has a much
greater number of part6:-..as, at the head of whom we must place
the clergy.
Messrs. Zes and Ballisteros, by their various proceedings, by
their proposals (constantly rejected and always repeated) to effect a
loan atalagous to our unhappy situation, have given the final blow
to our public credit. They have made Spain appear in the eyes Of
Europe as a country which offers no kind of security, and with
which London cannot treat. The real object of the President of the
Council, who directs everything. and takes advantage of the abso-
lute nullity of the of Finance, is to reduce the King to the
dreadful necessity of subscribing to everything proposed to him ; in
consequence the two Ministers whom I have just mentioned, think
only of granting privileges ruinous to the treasury, and for the
•
grant of which certain UM, are paid to the Government, which
thus derives a temporary but ruinous advantage. It is probable
that the protectors of this sort of speculation will be most bcnefitted
by thorn.

A license has just been granted to one Gaviria, contractor for the
bull fights, and a dealer in oxen, for the sum of ten millions of
Teals, (four millions in ready money and six millions in bills of ek-
I change on himself) authorising him to import into Spain, in foreign
vessels, six hundred tons of English manufactured cotton goods,
free of duty. It is estimated that Gaviria and his associates (sill--
posed to be three in number) will gain ten millions each.
An infinite number of licenses has been granted to import into
Spain, in foreign ships, sugar and cocoa, not Spanish produce ; this
dilapidation of the revenues of the State, and this preference given
to the English, takes place at the very gates of your France, to the
detriment of its manufactures. Here they pretend to be angry with
the English ; but in reality they are begged to be so good as to
accept the few piastres in cash, which the smugglers have for-
gotten to export by way of Billies, Betlajoz, &c.
Since the Ministry has appointed an Englishman director and
sole contractor for the sale of salt cod in Spain, the revenue which
the sale of that fish produced is reduced almost to nothing, whereas
the duties on that article, which Mr. Ballisteros has tripled since
the new contract, formerly yielded thirty millions annually.
The same Englishman has made an arrangement with the Mi-
nistry to furnish tobacco to the Royal Manufactory at 134 piastres
per quintal, which costs at Gibraltar only fii. In case this generous
speculator (so he is called in the circular letter sent by the General
Board) should suffer any losses, the Government will place in his
hands the mines of gold, silver, and iron, which arc known as the
most productive.
