THE LATE Qer.rx's SEttv•sTs.—The report of the resolu-
tion for allowances to the servants of her late Majesty the
Queen Navini• been brought up,
Mr. 1115311 suggested that as vacancies occurred in the
95,0001. pension list, her late Majesty's servants should he
charged OH that fund, and the consolidated fund he relieve d
Gum the charge now about to be brought upon it.
Dr. LUSH INGTON said lie was happy that her late Majesty'
servants (of the lower classes) had not been forgotten by Ids
Majesty's ministers ; hut it was painful to him to observe, that
thought the lower classes had been provided for, all her erode-
deatial servants of high rank, bad been passed over in silence.
Ile thought they should have been provided for, as the late
Queen's servants had been. Many of these individuals, after
having served their late royal mistress for six or seven years,
or longer, were um., by tire loss of their salaries, reduced to
the greatest inconvenience ; and such was the melancholy state
of her late Majesty's pecuniary affairs, that there was not sutli-
rient to pay to her servants, the arrears of wages due to then,.
He trusted these circumstances would not escape the attention
of Parliament.
Mr. LOCKHART complained, that whilst some of her late
Majesty's servants were entirely pAssed over in silence ,otl,u rs
were extravagantly provided for.—M. fur instance, Intel
an unreasonable pension of .1001. a year.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said this allow•
once was assigned to M. Sicard during her Majesty's life.
Dr. LISHINGTON observed, that the services of M. Sicard
were of many years standing, and be had be, n highly esteemed.
Mr. S. WORTLEY trusted that provision would be niad•
for all her late Majssty's servants on the same scale as fur the
servants of Queen Charlotte.
Mr. IcROUGHAM agreed in ibis suggestion. The course
recommended by the mentb, r fcr Yorkshire would be the most
holionable one fur the public. One of these iodividutis had
been about her Majesty for 50 years.
Mr. S. WOItTLEY alluded to the case of Sire. Cell as
one elaiming attention ; in the progress of the hfil he
ahculd
certainly propose a provision fur the rest of her Majesty's
establishment.
Dr. LL:BIIINCTON said, he could not, with a due regard to
public economy, support other recommendations.
Mr. C. W. WYNN said, this wonld be the first time that
this house had taken upon itself to originate provisions and
grants to the servants of the Royal Family, without a distinct
previous recommendation from the Croon.
The res,ileition was agreed to, sod a hill ordered sceordiogly.

MUTINY AT MADRID,
The Madrid papers of the 211, 3tl, and 4th inst. con-
tain the following intetesting narrative :
Th... King hail Oise(' the setsion of the Cortes on Sun-
day the 30th tilt.; in consequence of UMW impritdeni
coitilnet or insolent exprentons of a party of the guards
the evening previous. the public ttt tt d was considerably
agitated utt the morning- of the prorogation; on the
Ktng's leaving his palace to go to the hall of the legisla-
tive assembly, the shouts of " Liberty and the constitn.'
lion" on the part of the multitude, were met by the sedi-
tion' watchwords of arbitrary power on the part of (come
soldiers; this citillict of political acclamations led to
blows between some of the guards and the citiuns ; and
lit endeavouring to cheek the violence of his men, the
hie Ili a lamented and meritorious officer (Lantiainiru)
was sacrificed to the fury of military insubordination
iu
the palace, and nearly untler the eye of the Kling. An
order w 35 i tttttt ediately issued to bring the assassins to
jostler, and the citizens 'were assured that the daring
atrocity should not go unpuuished; but the public anxiety
and terment did not immediately subside. The militia
were called out, the garrison remained under arms, and
every precaution was employed by the civil authorities to
pre.eitt disorders, and to mature confidence. Nothing
bother occurred during the night of Sunday, or the
whole of Monday. the Ist inst., though it svas evident
the piddle aporeitension still continued, and Mat neither
the minds of the citizens, the soldiers, the numicipal au-
thorities, nor the Court, had ret(Acrill their settled calm.
Rumours were illthISITR)ll5ly spread by the servile ene-
mies of liberty and order, that the King considered his
life in danger, and that he had in conserve rice deter-
mined to seek refuge in the Prado, or to Lice from the
capital. The liberal papers on the other hand, threw
suspicions on the views of the Court, and indulged in
severe invectives on the temper and spirit of the house-
hold troops. Towards the evening of the 2,1 these ex-
ciaments hit so wrought on the minds of the guards,
that four I ft :lions, amounting to ;between 15011 aim
9000 men, i..vinced symptoms of insubordination; and
and alter displayitig much disorder and tumult, raised the
standard of revolt. As if by previous concert, they de-
serted the posts where they were stationed on guard, and
two battalions front the quarter of St Isabel met two
battalions from other quarters, and having taken up a
basilic position ou the parade around of the guards, pro-
ceeded to the Prado, where o.ey had held out for inure
than 24 bouts whet the last accounts came away.
even have made regular demands of rations, tout have
appointed delegates or commissioners to treat about a
surrender. That surrender cannot in any circumstances
be much longer delayed, or civil war cannot be prevented.
The mutineers, instead of bring encouraged by the ap-
probation of their fellow citizens, or andioriz.d to hope
for their support, seem as isolated 17.t0n them as if they
were a foreign enemy. These things cannot fail to strike
the least attentive reader, in the accounts which we have
'received of these distressing though not very alarming
traitsactions. First. the union and excellent spirit of the
cis it authorities, and the orderly disposition of the gene-
ral body of the inhabitants; second, the courageous pa-
triotism and unfaltering loyalty of tile militia; and thud,
she desertion of the infatuated soldiery by nearly all their
oilieers, who cannot be, like them, induced to believe
Drat they can serve their King by overthrowing the coo-
sititutiou which ensures his rights while it limits his
powers. At the same time it is proper to state that notch
suspicion is entertained of the seintitients of the King
from the conduct of those troops, who, as they preteild
to act front a regard to his interest and an attachniet,t to
his person, would not certainly contravene his will or
oppose his principles, if honestly. and decidedly pro-
nounced. A passage front the Untrerstd, a paper dedi-
cated to the support of ministers, speaks of money em-
pl( ed to seduce the troops to the :imam of despotism ,
and whence could this motley conic but through the
Court or its partisans?—
We proceed to give a copious abstract of the news in
the three days papers which we have received:—
MADRID, JULY 2.—The Secretary of War WWIe
yesterday to the commandant of this district as follows:
—" The King having learnt the horrible and scandalous
outrage committed on the person of the officer of his
royal guards of infantry, 1). Nl,mrerto Landaburte, appa-
gently by a few soldiers of the sarue guard,and executed
within his royal palace, renouncing all the respect and
consideration, due to his royal ;tenon, to public justice,
and to the discipline which has always distinguished
these corps, has resolved, that without, the least delay
your Excellency draw up all todiciment against the an-
tours of the scandal, mil proceed against them accord-
ing to the usual ruler."
The Political Chief of Madrid has addressed the fol.
low iitz Proclamation to the inhabitants :
" Fellow Citizens,—The prudent conduct which this
heroic. capital hos observed the distigreenbte occur-
' tliCeb yiSlertlay, is worthy of the gieiiiest praise, and
imposes upon toe the ditty ul declaring 40. 'lime is na

" Distrust the alarniing which are spread at times by
the malevolent, under the mask of zeal; experience Must
have taught you by dais Hine that they ale commonly false
and txaggerated. The fundamental law of this state
points out the way of punishing and repressing every kind
of excess; and the distressing event of yesterday will be
iniestipted with the greatest activity, cud the Jelin.

had assembled in their respective.quaners could not re.
strain their troops. The constantamal junta had assem-
bled likewise, and waited for the reattlittion of his Ma-
jesty for an energetic representation to repress the tumult.
Vince battalions of infantry and a squadron of cavalry
of the National Militia were underarms, resolved to de-
fend liberty if it should be attacked. It was about I I
o'clock when the guard of the militia announced that
two battalions of the guards, who were iu the quarter of
Isabel, were its movement. The militia remained within
their Tr determined to be passive, if no act of
hostility took place ou the other side. These two batta-
lions proceeded to join the other two, and having obtained
an accession of vatious parties of he same corps, who
hamlotied their posts in the garrison, forced the gate
of San Fernando, and proceeded to the parade of the
guards. Ills Excellency, General 1)on P. Morino,
mum:Aid:int of the district, who displayed on that
occasion a heroism worthy of Greek and Roman fame,
sallied forth to meet the deluded met), and to dis-
suade them from their rash enterprise. " The King
(they replied) has fled to the Prado, and we wish
to defend him." "That you may be convinced of the
contrary," said the General," and learn how much yon
are seduced and deceived, let four soldiers front each
company come along with me, and they will see how
Iris Majesty remains secure in his royal palace, and how
highly he disapproves of the conduct of the revolters."—
The troops agreed, and the General conducted the dole.
gates even to the King's chamber, where his Majesl
told them, that he confided in the attachment which
they manifested to his royal person, but that it was India-
' pensable they should return to ordination, that they
should obey the authorities, and re-establish order, con-
cluding that he wished they should return to their com-
panions with these exhortations front him. Gen. Mo-
rino mounted his horse, and returned to the battalions
in the pirade, where, upon being seen, he was saluted
with crizs of " Loug Inc our General 1 Long live Mu-
rillo." But as he heard also among the exclamations
voices calling out, " Long live the absolute Kiug," he
replied with remarkable firnmcss, " No, not so—the
whole army and all the nation have sworn, for the good
of his Majesty himself, and the welfare of his people,
to observe the constitution, and I shall surport it at all
hazards, and in the face of every danger.' " Let your
Excellency place yourself at our heat," they replied,
" and you will give us one day of glory, by destroying
that infamous race, (the Decurnis2dos) who have endes
voured to destroy your reputation. Read .oe
of this morning, and you will see the crimes of the
whole liberal faction, with their wicked intentions."—
" In vain (replied ,Morilla with great calmness) in vain
would you require me to stain my career by such an
outrage on the constitution which we have sworn to
maintain. 1 can easily despise four pedants, who en-
age in writing more front hunger than from patriotism.
\V hat would be said, it 1, who have grown old in bat.
tles, and have procured for my country some days of
glory, should place myself at the head of mutinous
troops, to attack a people who confide in our loyalty amid
honour. Finally then, listen to the order of your Chief,
otherwise I must abandon you." It appeared then that
some of them were proceedniae' to detain him; but his
Excellency, despising the risk which was indicated by
certain seditious cries, turned the reins of his horse, amid
proceeded at a regular pace to the house where the
King was. Ills Majesty had there conferred upon him,
ad interim, the command of the two regiments of Roy
al
Goards. The Junta had taken new measures, and
collected 800 muskets, which had been abandoned in the
quarters of the guards, whence they had been stolen by
the lowest of the people. In the mean time all the
garrison was under arms, and animated with the best
spirit. On pausing in front of the hall of the junta, the
squadron of cavalry del Principe cried out—" Long live
the liberties of our country, and perish the perjured mu-
tineers." This cry spread like an electric spark among
the troops—the disbanded officers, the ex-guards of St.
Jeronimo, and the officers on half pay, presented them-
selves, and received the muskets from the junta. Many
of the country people also armed themselves. The mu-
tinous battalions remained some hours on the parade,
and then rented to the hill of the Prado—their force was
about 1,500 men, among whom there are very few
officers. The troops tit the garrison have confined them-
selves to observing the motions of the mutineers; the
Captain General is talking the best dispositions to pre-
vent the revolt from spreading; and the Government,
before resorting to force for reducing it, employs all the
means in tts power to obtain its object without blood-
