SUNDAY, MAIM! 46.

The Paris papers of Monday reached us yesterday.
They contain the Madrid Gazette Extraordinau,
with the list of the Junta appointed ad interim,
before whom Ferdinand has taken the provisional
oath to maintain the Constitution published at
Cadiz by the General and Extraordinary Cortes in
1812. In conformity to the Constitution,the Cortes
are to be immediately convened, before whom the
King is to solemnly ratify the oath in the form
which the Constitution prescribes. The patriotic
Ilallateros has been appointed General in Chief of
the Army of the Centre. The Spanish Ambassador
in Paris has announced in the Malheur, that all
Spaniards now in France, and who left their
country in consequence of their political opinions,
may return home in consequence of a decree of
amnesty, and that they will be furnished with pass-
ports accordingly. The Duke de San Carlos, the
Spanish Ambassador to ti:e British Court, issued a
notice yesterday to the same effect, to all Spaniards
residing in this country. Cu the 9th instant,
Ferdinand held a Court in his Pal ce fur Spaniards,
which was numerously attended. Madrid.has been
brilliantly illuminated three nights successively in
consequence of the late glorious events. The. Mu-
nicipalCorporittion has been re-established, as it
existed in 18 14., under the Clines. This respectable
body has purged itself of such of its Members as had
aohered to the abolition of the Constitution. A
Deputation of this new Municipal Corps proceeded
to the Palace. and were Fresent at the taking of the
oath by the King befina; the Provisional Junta.—
When Close who were incarcerated for political
opinions were liberated from the prisons the male-
factors endeavoured to make their escape. They
fell upon the three centinc:s, disarmed and killed
them ; but the guard promptly arrived dis-
charged a volley among them, when ninete2a were
killed, and the othe s retreated to their cells. A
letter frem Barcelona of the I Ith gives an account

of that province having shaken off its fetters. The
Constitution wits proclaimed on the 10th amidst the

joy and enthusiasm of the people. The doors of
the Inquisition were broken open, and after the
unhappy sufferers therein were enlarged and put in
safety, the hateful prison justly became the prey of
the enraged populace. Among others who were
delivered from the dungeons of the Inquisition,
was the Count de Montijo, who it was generally
believed was in secret confinement in Gallicia.-
1-lis flintily had even gone 200 leagues distance, to
St. James de Compostello, where they conceived oe
was in captivity, to welcome his emancipation
The intelligence from Paris is uninteresting. On
Saturday the Chamber of Peers assembled, when
the Projct of the Law relative to individuals was

referred to a special commission, composed of live
members, after which the Chamber adjourned Sine
die.

IVesintimler Eleclion.—State of the Pull this day
at the Final Close.—Burdett, 5,3.27—H0th0uv,
4,BB2—Lamb, 4.436.
After the numbers had been announced by the
High Bailiff, Sir Francis Burdett addressed tho-
Electors—he congratulated them on their triumph,
and in allusion to his late trial at Leicester, (a
full account of which we give this day), l►e de-
clared his determination to move an arrest of judg-
ment. Mr. Hothouse followed the worthy Baronet
—Mr. Lamb, from a praise-worthy wish to avoid
creating disorder, did not appear at all. It is said
that the Chairing will take place on a future day
with great eclat.

Middlesex Elmtion.—State of the Poll yesterday
at the Close.—Byng, s,lss—Whitbread, .Q,700—
Mellish, 2,431.

AN UPRIGHT ELECTOR.—In these degenerate
times, a Journalist has more than ordinary pleasure
from recording an instance of honest political inde-
pendence. Ait eminent ale brewer called, on Mon-
day last, with one of Mr. Mellish's canvassing
parties, on an elderly man, who is a cooper, residing
in the neighbourhood of Mile End Road, and
who receives annually a considerable sum front
the brewer, whose influence in this instance was
relied upon. After the usual introductory induce-
ments had been made use of, and his vote was soli-
cited, the Cooper, addressing himself to Mr. Mellish,
who attended the party, said—" Sir, on the Corn
Rill, or the Rillion Committee, you might know
better than I did, and I would bow to your judge-
ment ; but as to the grant of 10,0001. a year to the
Duke of York, for visiting his afflicted father, that
is a simple question,easily understood by every father
or son, and let the consequences as respects Mr.
business be what they may, d— me
if I will give my vote in favour of any man who
could disgrace himself by forwarding so infamous a
grant." The canvassing party withdrew, struck
dumb by this unexpected honourable exhibition of
honest feeling on the part of this upright Elector.
Mr. Curwen, in his address to the freeholders of •
Cumberland,. stated that his wif: (to whom we be-
lieve Mr. Curwen owes the greater part of his large
property) had enalat.'Led with her whole soul into
the contest to resette this ccunty from that :late a
boudag:, and degraded sulnuission to one
under which it had so long laboured. He said that
Mrs. Curwen had, the morning of the eLction,
before he left home, addressed hint as follows :
" I have 5,0001. in diamonds ; put them. in your
pocket ; they cannot be devoted to a better cause
than that in which you are new eng:tged."
It is a serious fact, that the first person released,
when the doors of the Madrid Inquisition were
thrown open, was an Englishman, Captain Kin?.
He laal been confined there fifteen days, for havi''g
aided in the limitation of a design for a monument
of the Constitution, which the Liherales in Nladrid
were preparing to erect, when they heard what was
passing in Andalusia.
The Countess of Glasgow, and Lady Maxwell, al
Pollok, have humanely promoted a Subscription
among the Ladies of Renfrewshire, for clothing the
indigent women and female chiltiren belonging to
that county. From the funds raised in this way,
Lady Maxwell seat to the Ito?. Messrs. Logan,
Pringle, and Stewart, .51 women's shifts, 59 chil-
dren's ditto, 31 %vomen's petticoats, 21 children's
ditto, 14 pullicat handkerchiefs, t 0 short gowns, 21
frocks, 14 pairs list shoes with soles, 10 pairs stout
leather ditto, '2O pairs women's stockings, and
caps, which were distributed among the poor of the
parish of Eastwood, and have alliwiled a very sea-
sonable supply to many in very distressed circum-
stances

Mr. Lambton having writter. to Sir Thomas Lid-
dell (who is now with the King at Brighton), to
request his vote and interest on the present Oe•
cation ; receiv►ed the following very " courtly"
answer

li 2,,t h Feb. 1520.

spirited answer :

been aide for an opet.h.g for the cavalry to pass !filmset'.
I had ie. knowledge of the purpose for whirls the cavalry
advenced. I have no feil2loll to suppose that Mr. limit
bed. A large body of special constables were near the
caval,y, out they remained stationai y. I did not see any
resetetaistes accompanying the cavalry. 1 think Mr. Hunt
said, " Give (hem there cheers; Be brut." This was
before the cavalry were in the crowd. I think the time of
giving /twee threw was before the cavalry even halted.
1 think there mere no directions given for cheers alter
they lisd advanced into the mussel. The cheers were °sec
before they began to advance. I did not remain on the
hustings till Mr. Hunt was arrested. I left them when the
cavalry had advanced ten yards into the crowd.

and went through the people who wile near them, to the

Mr. Jostler Bayley eats,. that to ask what was done by

Mr. Hlllll did not persist in the question, but observed,
that he emeadeitil be had a tight to ask queations as to
