LONDON, SATURDAY, MAT 29, 1821.
By a letter from Madrid, dated. the 12th of May, we
have learned the mum and extent of the recent move-
ments in the Spanish Cabinet. BA Lt.rsre nos, the Minister
ist Finance, is displaced. He is succeeded by Vince NTz.
CAMPO SANGRADO is appamted to the War Department,
Mid ARJONA is to be Minister of Grace and Justice. It
*odd be ridiculous to hazard any conjectures as to the
Issas ssr consequences of these changes. Under a system
to purely absolute as that of FERDINAND VII., and with
• &weir of his character, no administration, howevee
*tank disposed and ably gifted, could render any im-
portant service to their country. There must be some is-
atitutions for the defence of person and property, baton
Spain can raise herself from the misery by which alms is
overwhelmed; but such institutions are incompatible with
the arbitrary reign of the rey neto.
Several petitions were presented last night in the House
of Lords for and against the Equitable Loan Bank, and
after their Lordships NO una race agreed to the provisiai
recommended from the Throne for the Princess Ai tams.
DRIN• and Prince GEORGE, Counsel were heard against
the Bill for the incorporation of that Company. On the,
question whether the Counsel should be called in, there
was a division. The numbers were, 30 for the noisy ask
so against it. At nine o'clock, the further bearing elf
Counsel was postponed till Monday. In the House at
Commons, the order for the further consideration of theJ
report on the Irish Elective Franchise Bill was discharged,
in consequence of the rejection of the Catholic Relief Bill
in the Upper House. A hope was expressed that the
Elective Franchise Bill might be brought forward again,
as a substantive, and not an auxiliary measure.
The Royal Meszage was afterwards considered in a
Committee of the whole House. The proposed Grants
were each for 6,G001. yearly. No objection was urged
the increase of the Duchess of KslCT'll income, which ip
was admitted on all hands was much too small ; but semi"
diversity of opinion was manifested with regard to the Grant
to the Duke of CUSIDERLAND. Mr. GIPPS moved as an
amandasent, _ _ _

that it should be required that the Prince
Oroaos should be educated in Great Britain. This amend-
ment we* stegatived by • majority of 79 against U.
Mr. Secretary CANNING and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHTPUta both assured the House that the grant should be
applied to the education of the young Prince in this coun-
try; and therefore the amendment could only have implied
rt !Section on the sincerity of his MAJESTY'S Ministers, or
the disposition of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, to comply
with the wishes of the nation. The grant was carried by
a majority of 10.5 against .53.
Mr. BROUGHAM'S Resolution against the promotion of
the Puisne Judges was postponed. The House went into
Committee on the Judges' Salaries. Mr. SCARLET'? moved
an increase of 2,000/. a-year to the salary of the Lord Chief
Justice of the King's Bench, but the motion was negatived,
without a division. A proposition was afterwards brought
forward respecting the increase of the retired salaries of the
Judges; but the subject was finally adjourned, in cond.
deration of the lateness of the hour an& the thinness of the
House. Mr. HUME, however, would not suffer the oppor-
tunity to pass without an attack on the enormous emolu-
ments of the LORD CHANCELLOR. The CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHeuurft showed satisfactorily that the whole of his
Lordship's income as Lord Chancellor and as Speaker of the
House of Lords, amounted only to the net sum of 13,0001.
or 14,0001. This is certainly a widely different result than
the friends and followers of Mr. Hume have been in the
habit of repeating after each other, as they do so in many
other things equally correct and well-founded.

CITY, FRIDAY EsEstito.
In the middle of the day, there were some considerable sales of
Consols, which produced a trifling depression, but we should say
upon the whole they exhibit quite u much firmness as could be
expected, when all the recent circumstances connected with them
are taken into account. The Money Bargains were done at 891 LI
and those for time at 09 i 4. The effects of the settling day, as
far u paying money goes, may be considered as having passed
away. Brokers, and others, were busily engaged is the early part
of the morning in paying and receiving balances, the results of
operations with reference to that eventful day.
In the Foreign Market, a marked gloom continues, and *very
description of Securities are exceedingly depressed. Old Spanish
Bonds were at 23f, and the New at 18. Greek Scrip was lower
than ever it has hitherto been ; it was at 84 dlicount. Colombian

Honda were s; a, and Mexican Scrip si i. Brazilian Scrip wu
1 discount ; and Danish ditto 3! 1 discount.

There was nothing doing in laisaires, excepting a few Bargains in
Pasco. Peruvian at 10 j f.

The prices of Coffee, Rum, and Sugar, were all dem, and th•s
articles *ere all in demand.
The Duke of Cambraie arrived on the I3th instant at
Emden, and on the 17th at Brewers, on his tour to visit
the districts that suffered by the inundations.
Princei Leopold honoured the Dowager Countess Poulett
with his company on Thursday evening.
Letters from Paris, received yesterday, state tlsat the
Marquis of liastings has landed at Nice on his way to this
country.
The Mayor of Rheims is to be made a Peer of Frdnee,
on account of the Coronation's taking place within the
limits of his jurisdiction.

The Dutch Papers received yesterday state, under date
of Corfu, April 26, that the army besieging Navaritto bad
been defeated, and compelled to retreat under the cannon
of Motion. The defeat of liedsehid Pacha is confirmed.
Letters dated the sth April have been received from
Sierra Leone. They announce the satisfactory intelligence
that the troops were very healthy, and that every thing was
going on well.
bust! STAMP Orrte r.—The rumour of an intention, on
the part of th• Lords of the Treasury, to abolish this esta-
blishment, is without foundation. Some changes may
hereafter take place, with s ♦icw to assimilate its manage-
ment to that of the English department; but nothing has
been yet determined on.—Dsiblis Fressvon's Jostens!.

they wee, not, foe its to dead any
of justice. This was in the reign of Qum s Asps 64:rlead%
signified to the Colonists that their petition should be attested to.
Notwithstanding this, however, the charges of Govirnenat were
not supplied from the fund, which was diverted to ether assents,
in which it had been continued down to the present time. The
decline of cultivation of trade, and all the energies of the Colony,
might be dated from that period, In eons-quence of the unfair
operation of this tax. lie did not medtion these circumstances
' relative to the origin of the claim, because he meant to
ground his Resolutions upon them, which he did not, but
by the brief historical sketch he had given them they might
know the exact position in which they stood. All the appeals
they had hitherto made to Government had been unsuccessful ;
but on account of alterations which had lately taken
_place, he
thought they were called upon for a renewal of their efforts. In
a communication ht had had with the Secretary of State for Fo.
reign Affairs, it was intimated to him by that Right lion. Gen-
tleman that he had his Majesty's authority to state, that no further
grants of pensions, such as had hitherto taken place, should
again be made on the lii per cent. fund; but that it was In.
tended to apply it to the support of the Episcopal Church &a-
-1 blishment, then in contemplation for the West Indies. Thb took
place in the course of last year. Now he (Mr. Carrington) took
1 this to be nothing more or less than an admission of the fact of the
former misapplication of the money. This subject had been con-
sidered by others, besides in tenoned , itnd consequently perhaps partial,
individuals. All the historians that had ever written on the
West India Islands, in speaking of this tax, had reprobated not
only the principle of its imposition but also its application. An-
other point for their consideration was, that as times altered,
so did circumstances, and so also ought laws depending upon those
circumstances. When this tax was established in the island there were
few others besides those of the landed interest, and of course it could
only operate upon them ; but now other classes and interest* had
sprung up, equal in wealth to the other, and yet who did not contribute
their proportion to the revenues of the colony. 'I his, however, was
only a portion of the injustice consequent to the tax. To return to
the declaration of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, he thought it
so extraordinary that he thought proper to send in a declaration to
the Ministess of his Majesty's Government against the permanent',
application of the money to the supply of the Episcopal Church.
Not that he objected to an establishment of the kind, which would,
of course, prove equally beneficial to whites and negroes, but he
thought it unjust that a fund raised from one or two comparatively
poor should be applied to det-.2 the Church Establisheeent of the
whole of the Wet ladies. T e Church Staab, Maim had bum

which excluded them tram Ihe benefits of sway ef the fate alter-
ations. Thews new cireustmeances, he thought, warranted them in
making another effort. Against this it may be Wt, that all their
applications had hitherto bent made without smarm and indeed
he felt himself boui.il to say, that the Colonial Secretary had told
him that it was tmpossible to cotkply with their wishes. It might
be said to be indiscreet to make a new application after such a de-
claration as that, but lie must beg leave to say that he entertained
too high an opinion of the mind and talents of the Right Hon.
Gentleman to suppose that a new application would excite any ill
feeling, lie was not discouraged by the unsuccesa of their past
efforts, which were defeated from mere want of combination among
themselves, and which he hoped would not be the case again. It
would be impossible, without injuring the cause for ever, to rest at
the present time. T',.. present proceedings were merely preparatory
to an application to Parliament, which he hoped to be seconded not
only by this meeting and those interested residing in London, but
also by aid from Liverpool, Bristol, and other places, that they
might encourage the colonies to hope for the best.
This speech was listened to with the most profound attention and
evident satisfaction. _
___

The Resolutions were then read, expensive of the sentiments
of the Meeting, and resolved to present an Address to Ministers,
beseeching them to cast their Attention towards it.
Mr. Retool', Agent for Antigua, Nevis, and other islands, rose
to second the Resolution. He was glad to see that they seemed to
be aware that union among themselves was absolutely necessary.
This was the time to press their claims—for when once this fund
became appropriated to the Episcopal Establishment, it would be
impossible to make any sherations. They themselves, as had
been justly observed, must come forward, and aid the necessarily
feeble esertions of their agents. The historical circumstances
relating to the islands he represented, were not very different from
those relative to Barbadnes. The Government which imposed It
on one imposed it on the other ; •and although the island of An.
tigue had not, like Barbadoes, had the conditions inserted in
their Act, yet there was tie doubt that the grant in the other islands
was under the same terms and conditions, viz—that it was to
be apppplied to the internal purposes of each. There was, no doubt,
cosraidsrabk distress felt all over the West Indies, but no where to
nab a as Is Antigua and Nevis. The island of Antigua
bad been to begs loan of 10,0001. from Government, with-
out which it could not possibly have supported its negro popula-
tion. Distress in $ like degree prevailed in Nevis. After a few
more observations the Honourable Gentleman sat down.
Mr. Penance observed, that although the duty was only 4i per
cent. on the gross product, yet the tax amounted to 10 per cent.
on the net product. lie was sure that not above 8,0001. came into
the Exchequer, and yet it was a most grievous burden to the Cola
fists, from the manner of its collection.
The Resolutions were then put and carried, after which Mr.
Carrington read a Memorial to be addressed to Ministers, founded
on the Resolutions. This, after a few verbal observations, was
also agreed to, and ordered to be left for signature at the tavern.
The Meeting then broke up at half-put four.
_ -

The Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells has promoted the
Rev. Geo. Vanbrugh, LL.B. Rector of Aughton, to a Pre-
bend of the Cathedral of Wells.
The Gentlemen of Galway are doing much for the
relief of the poor in that country. They are distributing,
flaxseed in large quantities to those unable to purchase it.
Mr. Kean commences an engagement at the Dublin
theatre on the itllth of June, and will be followed by Miss
Foote.
At the annual Whitsun meeting of the Bedford Level
Corporation on Wednesday sen nig It t, Thomas Orton, Esq.
was elected a Bailiff, in the room of the late Lord Esrdley.
There being three vacancies in the number of Conserva-
tors, by the death of Owaley Rowley, Esq., the resigna-
tion of Sir Henry Banbury, and the elevation of Thomas
Orton, Esq. to the office of Bailiff, a poll took place, when
the Hon. Mr. Twiasleton, Thomas Spooner, Esq., and
John Hibbert, Esq. were duly elected.
By the accounts laid before the House of Lordson the
14th instant, it appears that the Revenue Establishments
at the West India and London Docks, amount to
79,9161. 16s. 11d. per anntun. If, therefore, the establish-
ments at the St. Katharine's Dock and the South London
Dock should be on the same scale, Obey will add to the
patronage of Governwient at least 50,0001. per annum.
According to an official statement, there were born last
year, in the remote province of Werinland, 4,936 children,
of which 453 were illegitimate. The deaths were 3,021 ;
among which were 7 suicides. The marriages were 1,44%
and there were 890 divorces. In the town of Christine-
lisimm, there were twice as many divorces as marriages !
Such a result surely indicates a change in the general mo-
rality of the people, which is in direct contradiction with
the simplicity and Innocence for which the inhabitants of
the Swedish provinces have been celebrated for ages.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. -
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FRIDAY, MAY 2t:
THE SING r. SOLOMON.
Dam alsisaton, the defendant in thin indictment, was tried on a
chavissaf perjury, in the evidence which he bad given in a trial
Casa v. Davis, for an assault, at the Common Pins, Guildhall,
bat Diassalmr. On the occasion of the assault, it appeared that
Oshos, Os prosecutor in the present action, had used most abusive
%Swarth
•= Davis, which Davis, a young athletic Jew,
set by the assault. At the trial Solomon had stated in
Ida Mimes that Cohen had spit at Davis; and denied that at the
tient ar the quarrel he had said, " Give it him, it will all go in
one expense." The assignments of perjury were made on these
IMO statements.
Several Jews were called ; but to disprove the first or these state-
ments, there was only the oath of Mr. Cohan himself against that
of the defendant, and in respect to the other, the witnesses varied as
much from each other as Solomon did from them all.
Mr. Costnott SERGEANT, for the defendant, addressed the
Jury, but thought it unnecessary to give any evidence.
The LORD
CHIEF JUSTICE summed up very briefly, and the
Jury immediately returned a verdict for the defendant.
INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, FRIDAY, MAT 27.

IN THI MATTER OT JOSE CAYETANO DE BEEN•LES.
Mr. Coots made an application to the Court, upon the affidavit
of the above named Insolvent, for leave to file his petition and
schedule therein, the time allowed by Act of Parliament for filing
the same having expired.
The petitioner is a prisoner in White Cross-street prison, and
charged in custody for the sum of 20,0001., the aggregate amount
of his debts being 38,0001. To meet these demands, tb "
nsolvent's
available estate appears to be 30,000/. beyond . claim of
190,0001. due to him by the Spanish Government, for advances
made by him during the administration of the Cones. At
the time the applicant was committed to prison, he had
3001. in his possession, a considerable portion whereof he had
since expended in the payment of rent, taxes, servants' wages, &c.
The affidavit further set forth, that when he was first committed,
the applicant had not the slightest intention of applying to that
Court for relief, as he had property to a large amount, which was
available to his creditors. It further appeared, that the petitioner
had offered to convey the whole of his estate and effects to his
creditors; but the attempt at compromise had to his astonishment,
been rejected. Upon these grounds it was that he was reluctantly
compelled to seek his liberation from prison through the medium of
this Court.

The Commiasioners, after conferring for a short time, granted the
applicant's prayer, on condition that he pay 3001. into court upon
filing the docpmenti, which condition Ali. Holt, the insolvent's
solicitor, intimated would be in instantly complied with.

MANSION-HOUSE.
CITT 81111NDLERS.—Since the last account given, under
the hoed of hfuosion-house, of the practices of the notorious City of
Ladae 1/110/ of swindlers, the Lord Mayor has received a number
of mmusseitetions, stating circumstances of deception on the part
of the accused, similar to those already detailed.
We are happy to say that the most determined intention exists
amongst the tradesmen in the city to give the utmost assistance in
their power to those who have been thus robbed and abused.
The Rev. Mr. Mummery, who is charged with felony,
being pronounced in a state of convalescence, was removed,
on Thursday, to a vessel which is to convey him to North
Shields, for trial.
Yesterday lumping the three Regiments of Middlesex
Militia were called out, for the purpose of training and
exercising. The Royal Westminster Regiment, com-
manded by Colonel Clitberow, assembled at Brentford ;
