PAWS PAPERS.

PARIS, MARCH 27.

The King yesterday heard mass its Ins apart-
ments. His Majesty has suffered a slight indispo.
sition, which has not been attended with say ill

consequences.—(Morritestr.)
It was on Friday that the indisposition of the ,
king was manifested by retching►. His Majesty
then frit v►olent pangs of the gout in his stomach,
which rendered respiration very painful. On Friday
night and Saturday he was worse, and his Majesty
had a I►igh fever. Yesterday his health improved.,
as the bulletin of his physicians ►hews.
On the gist of March an Englishman. named
Crowe, passing through Bourdestsx, accompanied
by his secretary and valet de chambre, was arrested
at the hotel whe►e he alighted. In about two houp
he received permission to proceed, and lie Mime•
diately departed. Ile was ou his way from Paris
to Spain, was travelling post, and to expedite his
journey was preceded by a courier.
MADRID. MARCH 16.

Two Royal Decrees have just appeared relative
to the fitiativer. The first imports in substance,
that the King had always &eked to separate the
direction or tli! public credit from the odroisoi
stration of the Treasury, boot ti►s% circuumasKarlied

',ferruled the resliviiK of his wish.
At present his Majesty declares. I wish not to
cause a moment** deiny to the execution of the cc.
tick 353 of the Constitution to which 1 hare sworn,
and which prescribes this separation. " It is iii con.
arquence ordained, that from this moment the esta-
blishment of public credit is separated from the
Tressury. D. Bernardino Trines y I'redo and D.
Antonio Barata, who had been stained by the Cortes
Administrators of Public Credit, will resume their
funciious." _ _ .

The secoud Decree, after having repealed the
338th and subsequent articles of the Conuitution,
which directs the Cortes to fix the annual amount
of the taxer, a tttttt truces that, considering the ne-
etosity of covering the expeuires of the State, the
King, after hating informed the Provisional Junt■
of Government. cositinues the. existing system of
taxation, until the General Codes can assemble.
His Majesty declares that he has taken the most
prompt measures to accelerate their meeting.
This capital conp ato enjoy perfect tranquil-
lity. The Inquisit has been abolished. the
press declared free, and all the inquisitors have re-
ceived au order to quit the capital: all those Milt-
viduals who exercised a great iailluence over the
King have also bees removed. It is wished that
the Cedes should be convoked for the lit of May.
The Constitution is now proclaimed through' all
' "Spaid; anti *Geneva' Fr( re published it iu his
army, before knowing the events at the capital.
The unfortunate city of Cadiz is the only one
which still suffers the consequences of civil war.

The 10th and 11th of this mentl► the people gave
a loud expression to their sentiments in favour of
the Constitution. They u►et with oppaUtiou in the
garrison; arms were again etuplo3ed, and blood
shed; it is vitro said that some houses were pillaged.

TILE BRITESI-UPRESS.

LONDON,
F WAY . . I ti..

His Majesty's Ministers owe it to the integrity of
their own characters, mid as some atonement to the
public fur the delusion which their speeches and
acts were calculated to produce, to express in some
striking manner their displeasure at the disinge-
nuous practices of those who abused their confidence
upon the subject of the melancholy events at Man-
cheste►. The evidence produced on the trial at
York—the observations made by the Judge on that
occasion—and the verdict of the Jury, prove how
very grossly the Government had been deceived.
Every one was aware that the Ministers neither
spoke nor acted, with regard to the proceedings at
Manchester, but upon instructions derived from
ethers on whose veracity they relied, and it was
never imputed to them that on a subject so mo-
mentous they purposed wilfully to mislead the Le-
gislature and the public. In being deceived, they
experienced only the common fate of human stature,
but they have now a glorious opportunity of re-
deeming their involuntary error, and of acquiring
It title to public esteem and gratitude, by express.
iug their indignation at the conduct of those who
practised upon their unsuspecting credulity.
_ .

We know not whether the Law Officers of the
Crown will think it proper to snore for judgment
upon the verdict obtained against Mr. HUNT on
the fourth count of the indictment ; for as the
Jury acquitted the Defendants upon the important
cherge of the conspiracy, and of all evil intention,
the judgment *Mt trite present verdict can award
only a nominal penalty. Mr. HUNT has indeed
signified his intention of moving for a new trial,
upon the grounds, we understand, that evidence
net properly admissible was received against him,
and evidence rejected which he conceived necessary
for his defence—that the verdict was contrary to
the evidence—and that hie Jury was not fairly con-
stituted. The country has been already Sufficiently
agitated by the unhappy events to which the trial
referred, cad as vengeance commit be the object of
any well-ooestituted tinged, we think it would be
of advantage if all further legal proceedings con-
cerning those events were now droplet& by mutual
consent. The manner in whisk
.the subject has
been treated by. the public, will, we trust, operate
as a wintery caution to all bodies of Magistrates
and of yeomanry iu the empire, slot to interfere
rashly and violently with the rights and liberties of
the peuple. This object, we are convinced, not.
withstanding the very ill-advised einumendations
bestowed upon the conduct of the Civil and Mili-
tary Authorities at Manchester by the KING'S Mi..
Marrs, has been as eftetually uttuined as if two
or three of the Magistrates and of the yeomanry
had been retested or the murder of those who
, perished in consequence of their rash and cruel pm.

lie. Meetings of the people were held in se. 1
veiiirpa. rts of the country subsequent to the 16th 1
of Assam. M all of which the proceedings of the
Magististeiandyeeimary of Manchester were se-
warty censured. but us Magistrate or soldier un-
dertook to disperse them. On these reversl mem
sons the people acted with as much decorum and
good order as prevailed on the fatal field at Man-
chester ; and the business of their meeting being
occomplislied, they separated as peaceably as they
did on many similar occasions previous lo the
hhachester meeting, and as they would undoubt-
edly have dose at Manchester. had the Magistrates
evinced less seal and more discretion. We sin.
cerely believe that those Magistrates (with the ex-
ception of one who now enjoys the reward of his
zeal) have often wished that the fatal occurrences
of the 16th of August had never happened—that
they had been less pftcipitate, and bad reserved
the exercise of their strength until some symptoms
1 of a 'mischievous spirit had been manifested by
the people.

Paris PAWS of Monday last have arrived at our
office. The King of FRANCE has been seriously
indisposed. His MAJESTY was first attacked on
Friday, when he experienced violent pains of the
gout in his stomach, which almost prevented respi.
ration. During the night of Friday his MAJESTY
became much worse, and on Saturday he laboured
under a high fever, the veins still continuing, but
on Sunday the fever abated, and respiration became
less painful. The following Bulletin was joined at
nine o'clock on Sunday morning:—
" ne" King is better. His Majesty slept for Imo Imam.
The fever bat abated, sad respiration is meets teal painful.
(biped) " PORTAL ALHIERT."

At eleven o'clock his Majesty was enabled to re-
ceive the visits of some members of the Royal Fa.
roily. and heard mars it► his apartments. At one
o'clock the Ministers and some of the grand Dig-
nitaries of State were admitted to hia Chamber.

The illossilear speaks of the KING'a indisposi.
Lion as slight, and not likely to be attended with
any ill consequences.
These Papers contain some further particulars
of the progress of the revolation•in Spain. The
public press of Madrid begins already to exercise
its new-born privilege, and expresses opinions upon
public affairs with some degree of freedom. Two
periodical publications have been already cons-
ommed in the capital, and no doubt they will soon
be succeeded by others in all parts of the kingdom.
We stated yesterday that Cadiz had declared
for the Constitution before au account of the events
in Madrid had reached that city. The zeal of the
inhabitants, no longer capable of restraint, over-
powered every obstacle that opposed their wi►hes.
They encountered some resisinuce from the giant.
son, and received the fire of the troops, by winch it
is said about sixteen people were killed; but the
friends of the Coustitution were eventually suc-
cessful, and on the 9th of March the Constitution
was proclaimed in Cadiz, in the presence of Gene-
rals FREYRE and VILLA.VICENCIO, and the other
Generals and Admirals of the army and uterine
united. In the excesses which unfortunately either
preceded or accompanied this event some house.
were pillaged, and lives were sacrificed to the in .
flamed fury of the populace. Among the victims
are mentiuucJ the names of Generals Comma
and VALDEZ. On the toth General FREYRIL
caused the Constitution to be proclaimed at Seville.
The greatest tranquillity prevails at Madrid, and
inured the only part of the Peninsula which has
hitherto suffered airy ill consequences from the revo-
lution is Cadiz, which, as the Moaitewr fairly re-
marks, mutt be attributed to the want of intelli-
gence in that city of what had occurred in Madrid.

A Flanders 51811 arrived last night with Paper.

The letters from Lisbon received yesterday state.

that the Government there lad detached a vessel
with all the particulars of the Spanish RevuhiTom
to the Court at Rio Janeiro. Fears were ewe,-

in their preseut Coostitution.

The Middlesex Election terminated yesterd.,v
by the resignation of Mr. ME.t.t.tsu, the MI, :
serial Candidate, and the consequent return
Mr. BYNG and Mr. WHITBRICAD. The result
this contest has +hewn the strength of the WI.
interest in the metropolitan county in a very f.-
vourable light, and proves how deep an interest 11e
freeholders have felt in the political occurrei,er•
the two last yeast. Lawg possession of his ir.e.
and extensive acquaintance with his consfitioenis
ample fortune, liberal disposition, and polished man-
ners, could not atone in the peruse of Mr. MEttriin
for his devotion to Ministers. The public are at
length beginning to appreciate the character of the
present Cabinet, and to perceive how
the Members of it are to watch ocer the actiun
of a Constitution founded on principles of Ebert.
Nothing. however, in the contest became M .
MeLhasn so much as his conduct on his defeat.
The good temper with which he bore it. trod the
kindness of his manlier. elicited the plaudits of
even his political opponents. Of the teas Membris
of Parliament returned fur the threesections of the
metropolis', and fur the metropolitan county, seven
are decidedly the friends of constitutional 11—
berty; and of the remit' • g three, there are 140,.
who profess themselves to be perfectly independent
of ministerial influence. Upon this statement ae
beg leave to congratulate the nation in general.

points of satin, crowned with black dowers. Black aster
slippers, sod grey kid gloves.
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.
Amongst the bead•dresses we remarked a cermet* for the
breakfast table of white cypress gauze, ornamented simply
at the crown with white satin regal points. The Pluritlia
headdress for the evening is use of peculiar elegance : this
head-dress consists of the most delicate Rowers of white
crape, forming a light and beautiful front unmoved to the
bead ; while the hair is raised behind It on the summit, its
the most rich and tasteful manner: this i• adapted fur the
youthful beauty. For the more mature and dignified, the Sul.
tans turbots stands unrivalled : it is formed of white satiu sod
folded crepe or gauze, and is ornamented by a moat superb
white ostrich feather. The Persian imp of black velvet is also
extremely beautiful : it is made something in the style of the
Mime Princess, Of the Aladdin cap: the Chinese squares
are edged with very marrow roslasua of white satin, and a
rich bandeau of pearls finishes it neat the face, with tassels
&pearling on the right side. A dress hat of black satin,
with Weiser baud, sad ornamented with a heron's and two
fux•bruah feathers, is much wore at dinner parties.
