as a Deputy, moved the Order of the Day. M. IN.
Cevelles spoke against the alterations proposed in
the Law of Elections by Ministers, which he pro-
nounced not a reform, but u total subversion of the
Charter. It was not only the present Petitioners,
but Thirty Millions of Petitioners, he said, would
remonstrate ag,ainst the measure. Other Deputie.,
spoke in favour of the Petitions, and others against
them, and after some further debate, the proposition
of M. do Chavelin, for the adjournment of the dis-
cusion to the following day, was adopted, and the
Chamber adjourned accordingly.
An expedition was under orders to sail forthwith
from Cadiz, with reinforcements to the army on the
Spanish Main, consisting of La Legere, .4 L guns;
the Arethusa, of SG; the Hercules, of f 22 ; and the
Ilyrena, of 16 guns. They were ordered to be at
sea within one week at farthest, front- the ‘2311 ult.
Accorttng to adviees from Madrid, of the 3d inst.,
Btigadier Vargas, Secretary to the Board of General
Inspection of the Militia,• and Captain Dominguez,
one of the Clerks in the same department, have been
arrested on suspicion of having been concerned in
the fabricated orders, issued some time since for
calling out the Militia.. The yellow fever has en-
tirely disappeared at Cadiz and its neighbourhood,
and the only deaths which have lately taken glace
are attributed to common disorders. .

We have just received the Bulletin of Thursday
evening, 8, P.m., which, we regret to say, holds
out no promise of amendment in his Royal High-
ness's health• .

Iris reported on the Stock Exchange, that it is
the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
to fund seven or eight millions of the Exchequer
bills, and by prevailing on the Lank to hold over the
sum for which he stands. pledged, to enable him to
go on with the same temporising system .as he has
hithetto acted on, for another year, by merely tak-
ing-twelve milkons from -the sinking fund. Exche-
quer bills have now been done at a premium, after
a lapse of many -months, but not exceeding one
shilling. This chews the continued abundance of
money in the city, which is even greater than at
the beginning of the week; but the funds are,
notwithstanding, neurly
.one per cent. lower
The appmaching time, when the bank will
be compelled to pay their notes in. bullion, in
duces a number of individuals to sell large quan-
tities of stock, under the idea that a considerahle
scarcity moeey will- arise from this circumstance.

We have received a Jamaica Cunrani of the Bth
of November, from which ..we extract the following
articles of intelligence :

thence, and that there was a free ingress into the

arrived with letters from- Lima, saying, that the
Spanish vessels of war from Cadiz had arrived off

j annoyed the Royalists' vessels, immediately made ofli
I Information is derived from the Victory, of Lord
I Cochrane having taken s brig, culled the Rose,
