For some days past nothing has been talked of
I:ere but a change in the system of our Cabinet.
As 20911 as the general measures lately adopted
by the Diet of Fermkfert ware known her, the
members of the different unreel*, Courts of Jos-
tire met together to protest 'eternity against a de-
cision of the Diet which so essentiulty infringes ou
their jurisdiction. It is asserted that the members
of the Tribunal which decides in cases el litigation
bet seen the Sovereign and his subjects, those of
the emits if Appeal and Caseation for the Onivincea
on the left bank of the Rhine, end Ouse of the
I:airaniber of Justice, have desired in a body
an audience of Prince Illardenberg, and have
la:d their complaints before the. King. They have
represented to his Majesty that by recognising the
]ate decisions of the Diet mid conforming to them,
he would 'renown* the roost sacred rights of a Sove-
reign, not excepting even that of granting pardon;
that the establishment at Mentz of a foreign trilitt•
tumid. one of whose attributes is that of trying
rumen citizens, is incompatible with the dignity
of an independent State, and in direct opposition
to the laws of Prussia. Prince Hardenberg. did
ot deny the justice of the opposition of these Magis-
trates, audit is said that he gave them a favourable
*newer. It is affirmed that the king will infaie-
distely take measures to suspend the operation of
the late decisions of the Diet, and that Coont Golz,
Our Minister to that Assembly, will receive fresh
instructions.

The rectification of the frontiers between France
and Germany on the north, is *gain put off, and
it is not thought that it will be continued before the
spring; the reasons of this delay are not known,
but it is probable without foundation that some
people attribute it to particular difficulties, or con•
dude that new modifications may he made in the
Treaty of 40th November, 1815. It were certainly
much to be wished that this matter might be soon
aminged, as the uncertainty of the froutsers hither-
to existing causes many dispute.. The great
works carrying on upon the fortresses in. Be!gins*
and Rhenish Prussia attract much attention in
France. The fresh system of defence, it is true,
his been discussed at Paris, in numerous confer..
terms, but in the course of this year nothing can be
I,done, because no food is set apart for this purpose
in the Budget of 1819; but it is intended to in-
elude • large sum for the system of defence in the
Budget of IS4o ; and if the Chambers approve it,
se cannot be doubted, the plan will finally be de-
termined upon.
We still have complaints from Rhenish Pretoria,
that the new Tilriff hinders trade. A few weeks
hack it was hoped some change would be mide in
the new Edict ; the representations made tit Berlin
were said to hate been well received. It is now con-
sidered as certain, that no modification will be
made for Rhenish Prussia, and this news has put
an end to all the hopes that were entertained.
The liability to military service is also a cause of
many perhaps ill.fotoded complaints; it was hoped
that the system of taking substitutes, as it is prac-
tised in France, would be adopted, hut this ex•
pectation has also teen disappointed. On the other
band, it is confidently affirmed that the organize-
tine% of the Courts of Justice in Rhenish Prussia
'still subsist on the same footing as hitherto.--

Our Representative Constitution will soon he
determined upon. The King bid at sn early
period appointed s Committee of the Council of
State, to tiEcomplish the impatient work. Three
of the Ministers of State afterwards travelled
through all the provinces of the kingdom. to cop•
stilt the most enlightened iiihsbitants. and to sc.
qaire local knowledge. Now 'hit the °Muscles
are removed, or on the point of being so. the King
has named n ComMittee of a few Members, of
which Prince Hardetibetg is President. to draw op
a complete prnirit of a Conititution. They
will proceed without delay, and submit the re-
sult of their labours to the above-mentioned

Committee of the Contwil of State. The lath
article of the Act of Confederation, and the well-
known Edict of 23d May 1815, are' the basis
on whirls this work will be fotinded ; and there is
no doubt that it will be calculated, without excep.
bon, on the teat welfare and wants of the
nation, and of all classes composing it. The
Prussian State has been often most unjustly re.
proached with not fulfilling the word of its
Ring ; nay, the evidence of foreign jouroals bas
gone 00 far as to assert that treasonable intrigues
had been falsely alleged to exist to have a pretext
for not fulfilling Ilse Royal promise. The Tribu-
nals may decide on those intrigues according to the
laws, but the accusation is lull miserable to merit
any thing but cotitentpt. The above unjust reproach
is wholly unfounded., The writer then proceeds to
skew the mamas which have hitherto prevented tlie
intiodiation of a general Constitution into Prussia,
for alMost all the provinces had representative Con.
atitutions of tlwir own, and the great difference be..
tween them was one of the main difficulties in draw.
ing up a Constitution for the whole kingdom, which
should be agreeable to. all. The King issued
his Edict of 234 Rimy 181. f, quite voluntarily and
befOre the Act bf Confederation was concloded, the
new war iucreised the* difficulties already subsist-
sum anti it was certainly better not to be too ieci;.
pirate„ bat to proceed coolly, and upon fixed 'sin.
ciplee, to the object in view, rather than raise in

MADRID, OCTOBER 5.
(gficcial.l
The progress of the yellow fever in the town of
San Fernando (hie of Lean), is now arrived at its
highest point, for since the 15th of September,
when the sick amounted to 1080, the number has
continually diminished, until the 24th, when the
number amounted only to 495.
The must violent crisis of the malady at Cadiz
WOW also to have passed. On the 29th the num-
ber of the sick was 4,075, and that of the deaths
62. Chichnia and Puerto-Santa-Maris, suffer
equally from this scourge. It cannot be Rid that
Rota and Xerez are free from it, although by the
latest intelligence there were only fire sick in each
of these towns, and the authorities had displayed
Au emu st activity to prevent the progress of the
dlmases by ititating immediately those who were
first affected by it.
All the other towns of the maritime province, in-
chiding Porto Real, continue to enjoy good health.

An unexpected event has mitered all the soli-
citude of the Government. Although the Junta
of ['oldie Health of Seville had, on the 18th of
September, bfficially declared that no indication
of the malady had manifested itself in that city,
the symptoms of it were suddenly discovered on the
following day in the suburbs of Santa Cruz; and
on the tltth the number of sick had amounted to
93, of whom 10 had died, and three were conva.

CALCUTTA. MARCH 16.

Accounts were received on Saturday last of the
total loss of the ship Paragon, on Saugor Sand,
doting the night of Wednesday last. She had an-
chored the same morning, but afterwards drifted and
struck on the sand. She received so much injury.
that in a short time afterwards the water could not
be kept under by the pumps; and the Captain,
officers, crew, and passengers, had scarcely been
removed ioto the Sophia, pilot vessel, when the Pa-
ragon went down, and with her an unfortunate
Portuguese seacunny, who was a pssseuger. and who

peace and internal tranquillity prevails
except in England ; the pressure of
liberality, joined to other rinses, is
resisted. It is true that ItON•PA:
Belem, but they paid very dear for the whistle'
is getting him there. It is true that the British
fought bravely in Spain and Portugal, bat what
blessings did they achieve fin those Governments ?
They drove out a King or talents and character,
bemuse he was an intruder, and they restored a le-
gitimate blockhead, whose pride of ancestry and
whose bigotry has reduced :the nation to a cipher;
ss to the King of PORTVO it., he has left his king-
dom in Europe in pawn to pay his debts, and
vow trades at the Brazils. In what manner, then,
has Great Britain been benefited by becoming a
military nation? In no manner; it has nearly
tuiue,i her ; she has grasped the shadow and lost
the substance ; her naval power, on which all her
dependance rested, has decreased, and her military
character, which was worth little as an insular na-
tion, has increased ; she has made peace on the
Continent, and covered the sea with commercial
rivals; she has given an impulse to the manufac-
tures, to the agriculture, and to the commerce of
the Continent. This certainly is very benevolent,
but it is like parting with a last sixpence in charity
to others.
ln this state of affairs, the clamours arising
horn an increase of taxation, and from • want of
employment, have become very powerful, and the
ttimultuons Meetings lately held have been sub-
jects of real alarm to the Government. Hitherto
no definitive plans have been adopted ; various reso-
lutions have been passed, and many speeches
made, yet the Reformers have made no satisfactory
progress. They talk of wiping off the national
debt, which would go to annihilate the existence of
the Government—a change of Ministry would pro-
duce no real heivefit:--• more fair and equal repre-
sentation in Par' iment might be adopted—the
overgrown pension list refight be decreased, and a
system of greater econotay adopted. These mea-
sures might allay the popular Tiny, and produce
tranquillity; but it is qoattionable whether • radical
reform can be produced in the present disordered

The numerous public Meetings in every part of
the country fur the propagation of the Christian
religion, have called forth the exertions of the enoi,t
eminent men for talent ante/virtue. It is a subject
on which the eloquence of the.Senste, the 'Pulpit,
and the Bar, has been exercised in emulation of
each other. In no instance has the &at im-
provement in the provincial Press displayed it-
self more strongly than ih the ability with which
we have seen the proceedings at these meetings
reported in the Country Papers. We have often
lamented the pressure of Parliamentary debate, and
other temporary matter, which rendered us unable
to copy, occasionally, some of those eloquent effu-
sions, and gladly embrace the present opportunity of
extracting from the Cheltenham Paper the Report

unmixed satisfaction—but ou no occasion more truly
an than on the present. lie was a very accom-
plished and rigreeablefovet —and sang his 4. amo-
roils ditties" with peculiar taste and sweetness.
There was much force and delicacy in his execu-
tion of 'the first air, " 1) had I been by Fate de-
creed ;" and the farewell song. " U hots, shall lin
language weak," was given with melting ten-
derness. Two introduced airs, " %his blooming
Rose," and •' Lone has eges," !bete finely executed,
and were loudly encored. in the former, which is
a composition of uncommon merit, Mr. Pott,ters
was singularly successful: Nis cadences were ad-
mirable. The swell of the voice, at their cons.

mencement, was richly Melodious; end the gradual
sinking of the tones, till they died away in a soft
murmur, not only delighted the ear, but sffected the
heart. Dr. Boircx's duet, 66 l'ogether let us range
the fields," was sung with firsi-rate ability. by Mr.
Pitt LI rrs and Miss M. Tam This charming com-
pOsition never produced a Mort , pleasing effect.
Much praise was lavished on the genius of thecom-
poser. and scarcely less on the merits of those who
could do so much justice to his celebrated work.
Miss M. TREE appeared. for the first time. in the
arch and interesting character of RoYette. She is per-
fectly studied in this part, which we think (fully
recollecting the excellence she has heretofore
manifested) is her best performance. We have
seen very few Rosettas, in the present day, who
could boast talent ut all comparable with her's.
She is second only to Miss STEPHENS—and, if •
just and elegant delivery of the text be considered
of importance in a comic opera (which too often tip-
pers not to be the cs.e), we must, in that respect,
concede the palm to Miss M. Toms. We never
heard the well-known sir. " My heart's my own,"
more exquisitely sung. It was loudly encored. In
the garden-scene with the amorous old Justice,
Miss %f. TREE displayed a great deal of humour.
Her description of the lover, with whom. 64 if she
ever made a slip," she should like to be intimate,
was given with good-humoured irony—and the
concluding song. " Young I am, and sore afraid,"
was remarkable for spirit and harmony. Mr. PTIII
played the part of ltustare tolerably well. He in-
troduced Moose's elegantly-written ballad, '6 Be-
lieve me, if all those endearing young charins,"
which he sung with cousiderable taste. It w
encored—but that singer most be bad. indeed, •
with such words and such an air. could not
mond an encore. Mr. Fawcsres Justice "
cock was, as usual, a highly, though not a
comic performance. The character, however,
thing, if it be not a little broad.--sod woe be
man who makes the worshipful Justice a
lover, after he has been described as following.
at out tite house, like a tame goat." Mr. Tax Lott
acted the part of Hawthorn uncommonly well.
The song, "Oons, neighbour! *e'er blush at a trifle
like this," which is addressed to the old
Justice when he is surprised making love to
Raetta, was given with strong humour. Hodge
found in Mr. ExEgy a most faithful represents-.
tire—and Miss BEAUMONT, as his abandoned sweet-
! heart. Madge, displayed a considerable portion of
Inairets. She sang her two airs very sweetly.
There was a very good house.
