The Consort of the King of England embarked
in the course of this month at Marseilles, and land.
ed at Monaco. She had a very fatiguing journey
from Genoa to Leghorn, along the Riviere, partly
on horseback, partly in boats, and partly in car-
►iages. At Leghorn she received the news of the
death of George 111. sent express by one of her
friends. She immediately assumed the title of
Queen of Great Britain, both in the signature of
her letters, and from all the persons composing her
suite. After a short stay at Leghorn, she pro-
ceeded on her journey hither by the way of
Florence, where she merely changed horses,
and arrived on the Slid in the evei.ng at the
Porta de Popolo, where she delivered the piss-
port with which she had travelled in France,
and which was in the name of the Countess of
Oldi, one of her Ladies. She alighted at the
Palace of Lucien Bonaparte, which she had hired
for a month. This Princess liar no guard of ho.
pour before her house, nor Imo it been observed
that the Hanoverian or the English Minister has

Yesterday the Ministers of the German Powers
held their 18th conference. The intended journeys

SAXONY, SIAIRCIS 6.
However laudable the object may be which the
body of German manufacturers are now attempt-
ing to obtain from the German Princes, there are
some objections against it; a satisfactory answer
to which is the more certainly to be expected from
the German Commercial Union, as doubts have
been raised in many quarter~, even by persons in-
terested, concerning the possibility and advantage
of the plan.
Ist. To encourage and support the German ma.
nufactures, the Union desires that the German
Confederation *hall either wholly prohibit foreign,
especially English nu factures, or lay so high a
duty on them, that the German manufacturers not
paying this duty, may be able .to sell at a good
price, and maintain the competition with the
English.
Supposing that the English dealers have hitherto
thrown sway their good. below the cost price, which
no honourable taisitufactiirer can afford to do after
their example, yet Oho accidental circumstance
should not he made a reason to deprive 111 l s of
',Germans, who are lint manufacturers, from buying
Jahat they want at a cheap rate, as the good of the
larger body.of the people must nut be sacrificed to
that of one class..
Yd. The German manufacturers prophecy the
total 'Mita a most numerous class, iii short, of
all the Getman mimufacurers, unless the imports•
tion of foreign, end especially English gouda,• is
hindered.satabove stated.

LONDON,
TUESDAY. MARCH 21, 1820.

The Paris Paper. of Friday lest afford, as we
expected, it satisfictory explanation of the circum-
stances attending the sudden resolution of the
King of SPAIN to summon the Cortes of the king-
dom, and to adopt the Constitution. It seem■
that the decision of the KING was hastened by the
unexpected defection of O'Domnet, Count de
l'Abisbal. This General marched from Madrid on
the 4th instant, with the distinguiThed regiment,
the Imperial Alexander, commanded by his bro.
ther, Colonel O'DoNNEL, for the apparent pur-
pose of escorting a convoy destined for the army of
Andalusia, and proclaimed the Constitution of the
Cortes at Ocana. a town distant ten leagues from
the capital. In this enterprise O'Dostist., it is
said, was joined by a regiment of cavalry. One of
the Paris Paper., which in its zeal fur legitimate
monarchies is extremely indignant at the resolu-
tion in Spain, endeavours to affix upon O'DONNEL'S
name the imputation of treason deeper then ordi-
nary, for it affirms, that ou the morning of his de-
parture front Madrid lie kissed the King's hand,
and assured his MAJESTY of his determination to
shed the last drop of his blood in defending his in.
teresta. But O'Dottnar.'s attachment to the
Constitution never was a matter of doubt. for he
was a member of the Junta of Regency when the
Constitution was decreed by the Cortes in Hilis
and the Ordinance for its publication bore his sig-
nature.

To this incident the sodden decision of the KING
is attributed ; hut indeed the expression of public
feeling in Spain was so formidable in its nature,
and so decidedly hostile to the existing form of
government, that FERDINAND could not, with •
prudent regard to his personal safety, venture much
longer to withstand its impulse. The troops under
General FREYRE, in Andalusia, although still in
appearance ranged beneath the Royal standard,
could with extreme diff►culty be restrained by their
superior Officers from passing over to the camp of
the Constitutionalists, and such was their temper,
that no reliance could be reposed upon any part of
them for the support of the KING'S authority. in
the mean time the revolutionary spirit pervaded all
the provinces of Gallicia, Asturias, Biscay, Arra-
gon, Navarre, Murcia, and Grenada. The Con-
stitution was proclaimed in Sarragnssa, the capital
of the kingdom of Arragon, on the sth, in a most
imposing manner, for the solemnity was sanctioned
by the presence of the Marquis de LAXAN, Cap-
tain-General of the Kingdom; Don MARTIN DI
GARAY, Counsellor of State, and late Minister of
Finance; with several General Officers and prin-
cipal Magistrates, all of whom took the oath re-
quired by the Constitution. The overthrow of
arbitrary power was effected at Oviedo, the ca-
pital of the Asturias, with no less facility; and
also at Pampeluna, the capital of Navarre, which
place Mix♦ was rapidly preparing to invest.—
The proclamation of the Constitution, however,
happily prevented hostilities, and MINA had
all the happiness of a triumph without witnessing
the waste of human lives.

When the decision of the KING ass made known
in Madrid, a mingled concourse of troops and citi4
seas, amounting to upwards of 40,000 persons, sure
rounded the Royal Palace, add expressed with load
acclamations their gratitude and loyalty to the
Kum, end their devotion to the Constitution,
The KING frequently appeared in • balcony, and
received the most flattering testimonies of his peo.
ple's love. Dispatches were instantly forwarded to
the troops in Andalusia to apprise them of this
!nippy event, and intercept the progress of haul..
lities. Orders were also transmitted that all pertains
imprisoned on accnunt of their political opinions
should be instantly liberated.
On the 7th inNtant the Grand Inquisitor received
from his MAMMY in Council a notice, in the
KING's hand-writing, signifying to him that hie
functions had ceased, and that the hydration ao
longer existed, conformably to the fundamental
laws of the notion; and on the 9th the seven Mi-
ni:ten required by the forms. of the Constitution

were appointed by the KING. Out of these Minis.

judicial cruelty in the punishment inflicted upon
a wretch of the name of DUNA N. This man hay.

having had both his hands cut oft. In another part
of our raper will he found a similar instance of
brutality, copied from an American Journal.

We here received New York Papers from the
10th to the 19th of Feb►uary. They contain no
intelligence of importance. The proceedings in
Congress are of merely domestic interest. We re-
gret to find in a country that prides itself on the
mildness of its Ira', a case ohm unfortunate wretch
burned alive, in pursuance of • judicial sentence on
• conviction of murder. We have copied the ac-
count of this horrible punishment from the Ando:al
Advocate, ■ New York Paper.

In the cage of the trial or Mr. HUNT and others,
of which we give a continued report this day, same
of the Treasury journals have already began to
comment upon the evidence. This conduct is per-
fectly in unison with the contempt of delicacy, de.
cency, and deference to justice, that characterises
that degraded class of the public prints. It may,
however, be pleaded in mitigation, that the present
is the only opportunity in which • stupid and igun.
rant Editor can interfere. It will be too late for
him to put forth his nonsense when a learned and
enlightened Judge comes forward to sum up the
whole of the evidence in his charge to the Jury.

All the Dublin Papers received yesterday concur
in stating, that the disturbances in the West of Ire.
land have begun to subside. It is justly observed,
that if the gentry of Ireland will watch over the
conduct of their tenants, and attend to their in-

the country would soon he materially improved.

WEST INDIA TRADE.

THONAeII, JANUARY 74.
Trade is nearly reduced to nothingness with reapee t to
sales. The Porto Rico coffee crop, which is setting in, lease•
but few hopes for specolatiem, the enormous price of 22
dollars bevies beets paid fur by American supercaegoe..
The means in which these people carry um their business
remains a riddle to me; the goods imported by them gene-
rally sell without a profit, if not with loss, sod their remit-
tances consist of colonial produce, purchased at She hughe.t
price alba market, which they always spoil,and cannot be
disposed abut al au immense loss. The moue ironic is car.
tied oa in Porto Rico, St. Duntiogo, tbeSpassish !taro, Cuba,
and, 1 presume, the Bruit.; and what becomes of this
quantity of produce, which the United Siate• do not by far
consume? 11 is reshipped fur England or our cuutinentLl
places, and the ultimate event of such transactiohs is at-
counted for by a report of 3,000 bankruptcies uoviug tatted
place in the Usion duriug the last year.
The last rise of eight shillings fur coffee in !modem must
be owing to the hurricane; the injury sustained by sissy
agricultural island is trifling in the whole, and further
statements will make this article return to a much lower
prier. Some snow planters still flatter 16'1,15,h-ea with
.getting the high prices of last year, but will be dedippoiated
if the article dues put gain more favour in Europe, which
not very probable, and if the West India merchants rill
prove sensible. The whole crop of Santa Cruz, which on
an average can be calculated at 4h,000,0001b. must go to
Eopenlasigeo, where they realise about five della' s per cot.
A profit of 7to has been made of late, by *radius them

POllO Rico tobacco, a remittance fur Holland and r.
many, is collected in April, May, sad June; the price gybe-

excellent tobacco, by far the best known, which Government
