LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1836.

These three days past the Times has put
forth an altogether groundless assertion, respecting
a passage which that journal alleges there was a
design to introduce into the KING's Speech, pro-
nouncing a censure upon the House of Lords, in
consequence of the loss of the important measures
sent up from the Commons, but which passage his
MAJESTY bad refused his assent to. This morning
the Tines has had the hardihood to repeat the lie
after this fashion : " We repeat that his MAJESTY
did reject from the Speech a passage, such as
we have described, directed against the House of
Lords." Now we have authority to contradict
this paragraph in the most distinct and positive
manner. It is an absolute falsehood, without any,
the slightest foundation. No such passage was brought
before his MAJESTY, and therefore he had no occasion
to reject it.

We have received very important news from Spain.
IsTußrz is no longer President of the Council. Few
rejoiced at his elevation, and none will mourn his fall.
He rose by means of an intrigue ; he fell because dis-
qualified to occupy so exalted a position in the councils
of a Sovereign surrounded by revolutionary dangers.
He mistook obstinacy for firmness, and the implaca-
bility of his resentments for consistency. What his
honesty would have gained for him, his morose temper
and unsocial disposition prevented him from receiving.
He was respected for his principles, esteemed for his
unimpeachable moral conduct, and revered for his con-
stancy under the severest trials during the reign of
FERDINAND VII.; but his habits precluded the in-
dulgence of personal attachments, and his sentiments
shut out all approaches to warm enthusiastic friend-
ship. The only act in his public career over which
his friends will seek to draw a veil is the intrigue by
means of which himself and CortDovA contrived to
overthrow the MENDIZABAL Administration.

The Journal de Paris of Saturday night, received
this morning by an extraordinary express, contains the
following official account of the dissolution of the
IsTurttz, and the appointment of the CALATRAVA
Cabinet :

The Madrid Gazette of the 15th contains the following de-
erees :

" The Constitution of 1812 is proclaimed till the reas-
sembling of the Cortes, which will pronounce relative to the
institutions that ought to be given to Spain.
" M. Calatrava is appointed President of the Council of
Ministers.
" M. Ferrer, Minister of Finance.

" M. La Cuadra, Minister of the Interior.
" General Seoane replaces General Quesada.
" General Rodil is appointed to the command of the Guard,
charged with the general inspection of Militia.
" The decree proclaiming,Madrid in a state of siege has been
recalled, and the National Guard of Madrid is reorganized.
" The Constitution of 1812 has been proclaimed at Santan-
der and St. Sebastian."

The new Premier, CALATRAVA, i 3 a staunch
Liberal, and the personal friend of ARGUELLES and
MENDIZABAL. The proclamation of the Constitu-
tion of 1812 in Madrid ; the re-organization of the
National Guards ; and the dissolution of the late Ad-
ministration, and the appointment of another, disposed
to place itself at the head of the people, and direct their
movements—are most important events. Through-
out these trying scenes the QUEEN appears to have
conducted herself with extraordinary presence of mind.
Her promptitude has doubtless contributed to prevent
the perpetration of serious outrages in the capital.
To us there is nothing at all alarming in these
movements on the part of the Constitutionalists. They
are, in point of fact, the natural results of the conduct
pursued towards the QUEEN'S Government by the
King of the FRENCH—results which we augured,

No doubt
the King of the FRENCH is now convinced of the
short-sightedness of his miserable, peddling, pettifog-
ging policy ; but it is too late now to mend matters—
the adoption of a retrograde system is manifestly
impossible.
The Messager des Chan2bres of the same date, and
conveyed by the same express as the Journal de
Paris, contains the following important announce-

ment :
