.LOND3N, MONDAY, JANUARY 20.
Three o'clock, p.
The Paris Papers of Kiley arrived last night by
express. of which the following are extracts
PAR'S, JAN. I7.—The courier who watt the bearer
•o* the decision of the Spanish Government arrivi d
here last night. The four notes have been ill-
received, and the Charge d'Affaires of Russia, Aus-
tria, and Prussia, have demanded their passports.
There is•yet no courier from M. de la Garde.
We give a rapid sketch of the sitting of the Cortes
of the 9th of January.
M. de San Miguel aseendcd the tribune, and first
read the instructions which the French Government
;tail addressed to the Count de la Garde, as well as
the answer which the Sitanish Government had
amide to these communications.
.The cl7icial anninunicstions of the Cabinets of
;Russia, Prussia, and Austria, were then read.

The reading of these papers was interrupted by
.the repeated clamours of the spectators of the galle-
ries. and even by noise among the Deputies.
M. San Miguel observed, that as the documents
which had been read contained no deterinina'e pro-
position, the Government of his Catholic Majesty
did not think proper to reply in a categorical man-
ner to communications which consist merely of a

tissue of false suppositions, invectives, and calumnies.
lie added, that the Government proposed to i.,site
manifesto, in which would be faithfully traced the
history of the Spanish revolution, and of the conduct
which the Government had constantly observed.
_ _ _

M. San Miguel concluded by saying, that he now
intended to read the instructions which he had ad-:
dressed to the Spanish Charge d'Affaires at the
Courts of the before•mentioned •Powers, a copy of
which he had transmitted to the representatives of
those-Powers accredited at the Court of Madrid.
The Minister then read the instructions which he
had addressed to the Charge d'Affaires at the Court
of the Emperor of Russia.
The reading of this document was followed by the
•
greatest applause, both from the deputies and the
spectators in the galleries. Amon., the latter were
al:ernutcly heard the cries of " Live Spain ; Live
the Sovereignty of the People ; Death to Tyrants!"
The President culled to order, and said, that the
Cortes, utter having taken cognizance of the commu-
ukations made to the Spanish Governmont •by the
.abinets of France, Austria. Prussia, and Russia,
declare that no modifietaion shall be made in the

COUNTY OF WEB- EFORD MEETING,
On Friday Friday last, the Earl of Somers, the Lord Lieutenant
of the County of Hereford, convened a meeting of that county,
after the High Sheriff had refused it, in obdicorie to a requi-
sition most respectably s geed.
At eleven o clock, the Earl of Somers, who agreed to pre-
side on the occasion, came into the Town-hell of Ilerelord,
accompanied by the principal gentry of the county, sod a large
multitude of farmers, See.—ln the WI of the groupe were
Mr. Cohhidt and two other geodemen ; they succeeded iu
obtaining • place as the elevated part of the Hall, where the
principal personages were situated.
The business of the day was mmpened by the Clerk of the
Pence for Herefordshire reading the requisition.
The Burl of SoMLIta thew came forward and adverted ge-
nerally to the prevailing • riculieial distress, and the necessity
of appealing to the legislature fur relief. He strongly iacele
extra the necessity of unanimity, and recommended the meet-
ing to discard from amon4 them any person or persons who
appeared disposed to divert their attention Gem the strict
business of tee day, namely, Agricultural Relief; whosoever
attempted to du so, they may be sure was no real friend to
their imereet.
Mr. Parresnau. tame forward and proposed, after a few
prefatory ahs,rvetious • series of resolutions, which were
seconded by Sir H. floskyne.
When the resolutions were read reriutim, and put from the
chair,
Mr. COBVEIT came forward.
The Earl of SumEas,—Sir I take it for granted you are a
freeholder.
Mr. Conarrr.—Certainly I am, my Lord.
Mr. Cosatvi then proceeded to make such a speech as he had
done at Norfolk, and to immerse, by way of amendment, a si-
milar petition to the one carried et Norwich. He was received
by a .urge party is the Hall with applause, and by another
large party with marked opposition. He, however, proceeded
to inveigh against the sapimitem of the landlords, who suffered
the Jew brokers and jobbers to get possession of their estates.
tied said, that according to Mr. Peregrine Courtessay'a late
pamphlet, the Government would du nothing in the way of
relief looked for by the agriculturists , he pointed out the Crown
lands as a good source of fold for the people to look to; the
church property would yield a million, the sinecure men would
be made pay, and after all this was dime, they might then come
with a good grace to the fundholderc but not before. He ridi-
culed the conduct of Government in taking a mil ion for building
churches, and another million for building penitentiaries for
ladies of nut a very stout resisting disposition, and haring in
the penance-house, for companions, bullies and tools.
The Rev. Mr. Sanylisies, Mr. Davies, the Rev. Mr. Lilly
and other gentlemenessverely arraigned Mr. Cobbett's
life, and pointed out the inconsistency of his public conduct'
they a. id they did not want such au assistant as an itinerant
polmtimod tinker, and that he tided have spared himself the
trolble of coating into Herefordshire, *lsere they had gentle-
men enough, of every politicsl sentiment to discuss their local
interest without a stranger's advice.
Mr. CHARLTON ['mitered a petition which, after setting out
the estreme distress of all agriculturists, solicits .immediate
investigation into the causes of it—censures the lavish expen-
diture of Government, and the resine•Stion of cash payments—
praye a suspension of all einecures and pensions—the abolition
of the sinkiug fund, and time confusion of placemen trim seats
in the House of Commons. Tar petition, after considerable
discussion was ultittiatQly adopted, Cohbett's being negatived.
Mr. Coeuhr r, conceiving that his resolutions were carried by
a bleier .of hands, has expressed his deternimmition that he will
petiuou the !louse of Cosstmons idt the subject.

Constitution prat-Linnet! at Cadie in the year 1812,
except such a measure shell be called for by the
tmanimous voice of the nation, and shall be adopted
in conformity with what is prescribed by the funds-
mental cods.
After this speech M, Galion° rose. This deputy
desired one of the S, eretaries to teed a proposition
which he wished to submit to the decision of the
Cotter. The oljee. of this proposition was to re-
quire that the Cortes should address a messoge to the
Kitig, in which his Msjesty should be informed of
the declaration made by the Congress. In the mes-
sage it was proposed, that the King should be as-
sured that the Cortes wee resolved to make every
possible sacrifice for maintaining in its full integrity
the Constitution of 181 2, Ali well as the splendour of
the Constitutional throne; that the Cortes would
furnish to the Government every a'sistnnce neces-
sary for repelling every hostiie attempt on the part
a the Powers whose notes had been read ; and that
all Spaniards would contribute with pleasure to an
enterprise which had fur its object to defend the na-
tional liberty and independence.
A great part of the Deputies rose, and wished to
speak in support of this proposition.
The Proeident observed, tl'at the unanimous vote
of the Deputies ia fhvour tyl the motion of M. Gali
ono rendered all discussion. on the subject at that
moment unnecessary.
M. Anguelles rose. After infitrming the Cortes
with what indignation he lied heard the notes of the
feur Powers read, be observed that the consideration
of M. Galiano's motion ought to be adjourned, that
it might be made evident to all Europe that the re-
solution to which the Congress was Aunt to come
was not the result of a momentary impulse.
The Cortes adopted the motion of M. Anguelles.
M. Gaiiano then addressed the Minister fin Fo-
reign Alluirs. After assuring him that he did not
with to irqaire item matters which the Government
might perhaps be under the necessity of keeping se-
cret, he asked whether passports had been given to
the Miuistcrs of the Powers whose notes had been
read.
M. San Miguel answered in the negative. He
even eppeareil inclined to enter into farther particu-
him ; but he was interrupted by M. Gallen°, who
tignided that he was satisfied with the Miuister's
eply.
At the those of the debate, all the deputies rose,
:and the cries of " The Constitution! the National
I.l.l.Tendenee I" were alternately repeated.
'111.! Presiec.it adjourned the sitting.

The Lieut.-Generalship of the Ordnance having
been vacant upwards of four months (by the decease
of Lieut.-General Sir LII. Oakes), is now supposed
will be titled up, as the Duke of Wellington
liliterettarned to his rtficial duties as Master General
of that Dsmartment. ft is not known that soy
officer is yet selected fur the vutianey. The patent
salary and cmolittnouts are considered to be about
2,0001. pa aintutn.
Paintoesvias tissavr.—On Tuesday evening, between
Lee and nix o'clock, four girls, under fourteen years of age,
whose parrots reside in rue Wantlotvottli•roail, agreed le as
• each other to the tidinihing meadow, fort e purpose of
engaging in the exercise of sliding. On their way thither they
wet with a youth, ageti afoot 16 years, the 6011 rola Mr. Murky,
a revecial,le engineer, residing Defy Kennington-Cress, who
eeemoonieil them also. They had scarcely, however, ventured
on the ice, when it broke, and the eldest, a hue girl, unable to
preserve herself, was sinking very last. The youth oliserving
her perilous situation, hastened to her issiotince, but in his
laudable endeavour% he himself fell in. With great presence
of ' d Inc -till kept last bold of in r, and at length succeeded
in twinging her out of the wino ; yet, drenched ins he was, he
would nut leave the object of his preservainin Audit be had taken
her tome to bee Mends, nearly periolied with cold, and met
with such reception from them an his exertions required.
Ditesoltti. frittit.—Yesterday coo • g, at four o'clock, an
nlartiiiiig use litot.e net at a cheesemenger'a shop, at the COlll-
- or the W al% in ih-road, apposite the Elephant and

In consequence of the intense hoot, it was dillieult to obtain e
speedy supply of water. The liand-itillnial engine was the
tint that salved, and the Beacon the second, and by the exec-
lions of the illre:11R11 Slid firemen, and sener.ll other engines
having arrived, the atobea were tot innately extinguished with-
out spreading further desolation. The property, happily fur
those who experierivett the c.lainity, was insured.

There is scarcely any thing doing in this market. the norther
complete :y preventing the landing of the main from the remeis
in the River, and the supply consists entirely of a few land sam-
dles which have been brought up. The price of grain of all
escriptions is nominally the same as on Friday, but no businea
worth noticing is doing. There is a grrat accumulation of grain
of all aorta on boud rue rowels. but it is impossible to land It.
