SPAIN.

MADRID, DEC. 24.—The King has just ap-
pointed Don F. Bustamente, a Colonel of Engi-
neers, to be the Political Chief of Navarre.
Letters from Pampeluna are very contradic-
tory respecting the disorders in that province.
Some regard them as of a serious character, and
supported from abroad; others only as a momen-
tary effervescence. On the 16th two battalions
of Seville left St. Sebastian to march against the
factious. The Government has called out the
Provincial Militia, in order that the regular
troops may be exclusively occupied with the pur-
suit of the seditious.

The public tranpillity has been disturbed at
Badajos. A speech delivered in a Patriotic So-

ciety, by a man named de Conti, a painter, was
the signal of general alarm. This individual
read a pretended letter from a Deputy of the
Cortes, which stated that all was lost, and that
the French troops were on the point of entering
Spain, at the request of the Ministers, to enslave
the 'Spaniards 7:but the public authorities suc-
ceeded in quieting the minds of the peaceable
inhabitants, by proving the falsehood of Con ti's
assertions.

The Extraordinary Cortes have for some days
been occupied with the affairs ofSeville and Cadiz.
Several deputies spoke in favour of and against
the conduct of the authorities of those towns;
and at length in the sitting of the 23d it was de-
cided, by a majority of 114 against 36, that pro-
ceedings ought to be instituted against Don
Manuel de Velasco, Military Commandant of
Seville, and Don Ramon L. Escovedo, for having;
disobeyed 62 orders of the King, and disregard-
ed the declaration of the Cortes, as also against
all those who signed the representations.

DEC. 25.

[PRIVATE CORE ESPONDENCEI •
The decision of the Cortes, respecting the dis-•
obedience of the Constitutional Authorities ,of
Andalusia to the orders of the King, has pro-
duced a very different result from what was ex-
pected by all good Spaniards. The news re-
ceived this day from the pro,,inces announce that
Grenada, Malaga, Murcia, &c. have followed the
examples of Cadiz and Seville. The Royal Au-
thority is completely set at defiance in these pro-
vinces, and their new addresses, which have
just reached the Cortes, contain the followin4
expressions :-----44 We have all taken up arms to
" defend to the last drop of our blood our Gene-
" rals and Political Chiefs, who have had die
" courage to brave the orders of despotism."

The torch of civil war is at thie- moment burn-
ing in three parts of Spain.
DEC. 27.—A party of sixty horsemen
of the Royal Army of Navarre, well mounted,
appeared yesterday a short distance from this.
City. Their appearance filled our constitutional
authorities with alarm. The political head of
the province, who resides at Tolosa, on being
apprised of it, gave -.immediate orders to the,
collectors of taxes to convey their money and.
their papers to St. Sebastian.
Wherever his partisans have sheaved thern,
salves, they have circulated the following Procla,
Illation of the Chief of the Army of Navarre :

" People of Navarre,—You are at length disabused, and
have become acquainted with the perverse views of a small
number of ambitious and treacherous men, who, under the
pretext of establishing a wise Constitution; seek only to strike
the last blows to the throne and to religion, and to plunge the'
heroic Spanish nation into a chaos of evils and disorders. Such
should be the effects of the deceitful promises of impious inno-
vators, who, after having by an unheard of attempt deprived
the King of his legitimate authority, cannot but deliver Spain
over to anarchy. Is there a single Spaniard, worthy of the name,
who is not persuaded of the unhappy results springing from the
violent change effected in the Government which ruled over us
previous to 1320 ? All classes of the state have felt these results,
and all are convinced of the evils which menace us. Everyone
will rise against the mistakes of the new governors, and againSt
the crowd of Jacobins who oppress good Spaniards.
4, Men of Navarre,, the day is arrived when all worthy mot
should unite for the security of religion and the country, both
threatened with an imminent danger. You, who bore so con-
spicuous a part in the glory which the Spaniards acquired
in contending against Napoleon, . can you remain passive in
the approaching contest with the enemies of our faith, of
our most valued rights, and of our independence? Will you
any longer suffer religion and its ministers to be scandalous-
ly outraged ? Can you look on with indifference while• the
honest and peaceable inhabitants, who blame and lament the
odious intrigues of our tyrants, are oppressed with impunity ?
Will you consent to be plunged into the same revolutionary
abyss into which France was precipitated, and which still ex-
hales its noxious vapours ? ,\ ill you suffer our noble institu-
tions to be trod under foot, and Navarre to be reduced to
misery by a succession of enormous contributions, of horrible
imposts which,since the abolition of our franchises and privileges,
begin to press upon us, and which are only destined to glut the
avarice of certain intriguing men, who have seized on the power
at Madrid ? _ _ _ _ _ _

", Men of Navarre, your unalterable love for .the religion of'
Jesus Christ, your patriotic sentiments,_ yoUr courage. and in-
trepidity, assure me of the contrary. I already see you proudly
arming, and rallying round the standards of the faith. and of
the independence of the country, who will anew admire the
heroic efforts which will encourage all good Spaniards to Mil...
tate you. To arms, brave mei; of Navarre Live religion-1.
Live the King ! Die the Constitution!

no pay ; the soldiers of, the faith are well 'paid.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—The first Quarter SOr
sions of the Peace for this County for .the yeao
182-2, was held this morning at the. Sessions
House, Clerkenwell-green, before F. CoNsT, Esq.
Chairman, the ex-Sheriff WILLIAMS, and several
other County Magistrates.—On the Grand Jury
being sworn, they were shortly addressed by Mr.
CONST, from which it appeared that, with the•
exception of one charge of murder, the offences
for investigation are none of them marked
with any peculiar turpitude, nor is the ca-
lendar more than usually heavy. The Petit
Jury being sworn, the COURT proceeded to dis-
pose of the traverse paper, which contains a
considerable number of cases of assault, in the
investigation of which the whole morning was
occupied ; there were none, however, that con-
tained the smallest particle of public interest.
The Earl'and Countess Howe,with a benevolence
characteristic of all their actions, on New Year's
Day gladdened the hearts of nearly two hundred
children (who are clothed and educated by them)
with true English cheer, roast beef and plum
pudding, &c. at their noble mansion, Gopsall.
On Sunday se'nnight, divine service was re-
sumed at Atherstone Chapel, which has been en-
larged and a spacious gallery erected, by which
the poor of that town, who had no other accom-
modation than what the aisles afforded, are now
provided with three hundred comfortable Free
Sittings,

LONDON,
MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 1822.

The official statement of the nett produce
of the Revenue, for the years and quarters ending
Ist January, 1821, and Ist January, 1822, which
we have this day the pleasure of laying before
°Ur Readers, is highly satisfactory. The increase
On The quarter, as compared with the correspond-
ing quarter of the preceding year,. is four hundred
and Ito() thousand nine hundred and four. pounds!
The increase on the whole year is 597,224/. The im-
P, "ernent arises prinCipally from the Customs, the
crease:in that branch of the Revenue being for the
quarter
- 369,2371., and for the year 503,c211/.—
in the
-.Xcise, the increase for the quarter is
75'0521.; and for the year 181,7131. There is a
decrease' in the Stamps, Post. Office, and Assessed
Taxes, which we regret the more, since these
items may be considered as indicating pretty cor-
rectly the condition of the internal commerce of
the country. In the quarter, the decrease in the
Stamps is 38,3461.; Post Office, 13,0001.; As-
sessed Taxes, 40,966/. In the year, the decrease
is, Stamps, 42,7071.; Post Office, 71,0001.; As-
sessed Taxes, 54,5351.

Journals of Thursday and Friday, and Papers
