TO SUBSCRIBERS.
We regret the !stencil of our publication for some days.
The defect, which is CONIIIIOO to all our contemporaries,
bag teren unavoidably rained by the late boar to which
the Court vita at York, and the consequent delay of our
Expresses from that City. This explanation is doe to the
News-venders, to whom so blame eau justly attach wa cc-
count of the late delivery of the Papers. The Proprietor.,
however: who have adopted this system for the gratifica-
tion of their readers, at great additional expense, labour,
and iuconveniemer, Rater themselves that it will not tx-
tend heyoad the present week.

LON 1)ON,
THURSDAY. MARCH 23. WO.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived lett night.
There is no autlientie intelligence from Spain of
hoer date Outs that contained in the Papers of
Saterdsy.The following is given in the Journal
des Iles6ais as the reported New Ministry : PI-
ZARRO, Minister fur Foreign Affairs; GARAY.
Minister of Finance; BALLASTEROS, Minister at
War; AGAR. Minieter of the Interior; ARGUEL-
LES, Minister of Justice; VILLATICENCIO,
ter or Marine; the Count 1Y Aritsitat., or Count
MOrriJO, Minister Secretary or State.

The Fin per Cent. Comols were on Saturday
741C—Ilaak Actions, 1,455 r.

An elitism*, we understand, reached town yester.
day, bringing Settees from Madrid of the intli, which
communicate the names of some of the Ministry of
seven named by the Ktito, in conformity with the
term. of the Constitution. AGAR, late President
of the Jams of Cadiz. has -been appointed Presist
dent of the new Council bf Ministers; O'Dotto-
nue, who served in the first instance nutter Gene.
cal Gt,sttr., awl subsequently under the Duke of
WIRLIANCTOII, in the Peninsular war, has been no-
minated Miriister of War; and GARAY, Minister of
Finance. It will be recollected that GARAY lir Itt this
situation a short time aisle, in the Spanish Cabi-
net. FERDINARD, it is slated, has adopted this
step, in order to convince his people of his iletrrini.
nation to carry into effect the Constitution of
1812. It is affirmed that the number of persons
who halt! been confined foe their political opinions,
and are now restored to liberty, amounts to 4,000.

The Coronation is fixed for the nth of August,
the anniversary of his MaJitsvv's birth•day. Mr.
WEBB, his MAJESTY'S robe-maker, in liolywell-
street, has received an order for coronation robes to
the amount of 36,0001.—Many other robe-makers
in the west vid of the town are also actively em-
ployed for the same purpose. A great hustle has
in consequence prevailed in the fur market. Er-
mine has been in great demand for the last ten
days, and is now all bought up.

Mr. Lion was not so successful yesterday as Isis
friends had looped and expected. Ilia majority
over Mr. HOBLIOCSE on the day's poll was only
37, but on the gross poll his rival has, a majority
over him of sil. If Mr. Laos's friend-, there.
fore, do not on this day's poll come forward with
toore act;vity and xe,d, and give him at least a ma.
jority of NO, uo hopes can be entertained of his
final success.

It will be seen in the letter from our correspondent
of Leicester that the Court has ordered the trial of
Sir FRANCIS BURDZTT to cone on first this day.
We understand the Counsel fur the Crown mean to
go into the merits of the Manchester business, and
have summoned for that purpose several of the per-
sons now attending at York as witnesses in Mr.
HUNT'S care. Should this course he adopted, it
is probable that the trial may not conclude this
dsy.

Yesterday morning the Duke of YORK; the
Duke and Duchess of CLattEsccond the Duchess
of GLOUCEsTRR, visited the PrMeese AtIOUsTA. at
I:er apartments in.the King's Palace, in St. James's-
pitk. A number of the Nobility and persons of
distinction called in the course of the day to pay
their dutiful respects to her Royal Highness.

Yes►erday the Princess AUGUSTA and • select
party ditied with the Duke and Duchess of GLOU-
CESTER, at Gloucester-house.
The Earl rat HLREWOOD arrived in town at his
!loose iu Danoter-square, on Monday, from his
seat in Yorkshire, for the season.
