that his diminished authority and power were 'no
longer adequate to so great a labour, and that he
could still less. intrust it to the Prince of Asturias,
who, during a tumultuous Government 'of , lOrty
days; commencing and ending in a revolt, had
brought the Kingdom on the brink of ruin ; it was
then that this Monarch resolved to retire with his
family into France, and wishing to give his subjects
a last proof of his paternal affection, he renounced,
on the sth of May, his Crown and his Rights in
favour of his Majesty the Emperor of the French,
and notified his ad of renunciation to the/Supreme
Council of Castile, on the sth. -
4s; This Prince of Asturias', informed of the clan-
tress which surrounded the Kingdom, followed the
example Of the King his father. On the loth of
May he solemaly ceded all his rights to the
Throne. A second aCt of renunciatien, addressed
on the 12th to the Supreme Junta, by this Prince
and the Infantes Don Carlos and Don Antonio, re-
leases the Spaniards from all their obligations to-
wards them, exhorts them to he ill repose, and await
their felicity from the benevolent disposition and
power of the Emperor.
" These hopes will be fulfilled. ' The Emperor is
full of esteem for the noble charaeleaof the Spanish
Natiob. He desires the felicity and glory of so
beautiful a Kingdom. No Province shall be dis-
membered.' The Monarchy shall be independent ;
the tenets of its religion, and the splendour of its
throne, shall be maintained.
" The Dynasty which reigned in Spain is about
to be replaced by a new Dynasty,. and Spain hails
these great changes with confidence. She reads
her future destiny in the prosperity to which France
has risen under the reign of the ~.i-leperor. Tran-
quillity is assured in the Capital; and in the Pro-
vinces the inhabitants and the French troops live in
friendship. ' •
" All the public Bodies, both Civil and Military,
have presented themselves to the Lieutenent-General
of the KingdoM ; and the arrival of the new Sove-
reign, whom the- Emperor has destined'for it, is
expected with impatienees"

AccOnnts have bean received from the West In.
dies, dated Barbadoes, June' 3 ; and, we are sorry to
add that they contain by no means the same pleasant
intelligence as the former. The sickly season was
setting' in very!early itt ill the Islands, and in mist of
them the troop had_begun to suffer, and several offi-
cers had died.

The 4th battalion of the 69th regithent had arrix-
ed from the Cape of Good Hope ; the 13th regi-
ment was expeaed from America ; the, York Ran-
gers from England. The inhabitants in the different
Islands were uneasy about the black troops.
The new Commander in Chief, Lieutenant-Ge-
neral BECKW ITH, had commenced very auspiciously,
and was likely to he extremely popular; the ge-
neral wish was, that he might not be superseded from
home. •

The 25th regiment continued very healthy at St.
Kitt's The regularity of the men, and the system
of discipline kept upAot this fine old regiment, were
Likely. to ensure its continuing healthy.
Lietit.-Colonel BOWYER, the Deputy Adjutant-
General, and nephew'of 'General BOWYER, died at
Barbadoes, as did Major M'DONNELL, of the Scotch
Royals. The last recruits sent out had unluckily ar-
rived i►n the unhealthy season, and just' when the
yellow fever was commencing its ravages.
It were much to be wished that among the seve-
ral improvements going forward in Westminster,
some substantial
,and decorative buildings were de-
signed and erected for our Courts of Law. A Square,
upon the principle of Somerset-place, would be the
. best adapted for such a purpose, where each of the
four Courts might form a central edifice on each
• side, and the adjoining parts be allotted as chambers
for the Judges, and as offices appertaining to the t-e-
-spe6tive Courts. The scite might very well be fottbd
between Somerset-place and the Temple, Cu the
side of the river.
