SPAI N.

MADRID, JA.S. —An express has arrived to-
fromSevilleovith news that on the 15th the pub-
lic tranquillity was again disturbed. It hating been
known that an express had arrived from the
capital, a part of the people collected before the
door of the house of the Commandant General,
Don Salvador Sebastian, desiring to know the

contents of the dispatches. This officer, at the
, same time that he satisfied the wishes of the cu•

rions, admonished them that they ()vitt not to
assemble in numbers to require the publication of
Isis correspondence with the Government. This
admonition was taken as an insult, and a report
wits maliciously spread, that the Commandant
had given orders to fire upon the people. On
this ground the Municipality assembled Commis-
sioners from the regiments and from the people.
:tad demanded that the Commandant should resign
biN office to Major General D. Carlos Gonzalez
de. I3arcena. This was done, and D.C. de Barcena
the following day published an address to the
citizens expressing his pleasure at the termina-
tion of the agitations which had so tang disturbed
the Worthy people of Saville, by their constancy
maintaining their iinprescriptible rights, and
by the energy with which the Municipality had
guarded them.

In the Sitting of the Cortes,,the opinion of the
Special Committee was discussed, which was
c;arged to examine the Memorial of 1). Manuel
Francisco Jauregui, dated the Ist of this month.
The majority of the Committee thought that Don
Jauregui could not be legally called to.accOunt,
and proposed that this Memorial should be re-
lerre) to the Government. This was signed by
ti-; fie Mewhers. Tike other ~two Members, Se-
pars Ramonet and Giraldo, who formed the mi-
noritl of the Committee, thought that the Me-
morial of 1). Jauregui wa's the result of his dis-
obedience to the orders of the Government, that
Eis case was Hot different from that of the Com-
mandant General and Political Chief of Seville,
against wham it was declared there were grounds
to institute proceedings, for which reason. they.
thought that the Cortes should declare there
were grounds to require responsibility of D...Tau-
requi. The majority and minority had each re
tained their opinions after the new Memorial of
D. Jauregui on delivering up the command to
D. Romarati. Senores Gauli, Conde de Torrend,
Martinez de la Rosa, and some other Members,
desired to speak against the opinion of the majo-
rity ; and SenoresGasco, Calatrava,Vadello, and
Palana, in favour of it. -
A. very long debate ensued, in which the ad-
vocates for the opinion of the majority dwelt on
the well known. patriotism of Don Jauregui.
The subject being declared sufficiently dis-
cussed, it was decided by 71 votes to 55, that
there were no grounds to put to the vote the
opinion of the.majority of the Committee. It
Was .decided (by the appel nominal) that there
were grodnds to put to the vote the opinion of the
minority, Which declared there was reason to in

stitute proceedings against Don iauregui ; and,
finally, this opinion Iv as approved by 70 votes to 48.
A communication. was made from the Govern-
ment, stating that. Don Fiancisco Paulo Escadero
haying 'resigned the "office of Minister of Marine,
his Majesty had been.. pleased.to appoint to that
office Don Francisco de Paulo .osorio.

In consequence of the favourable turn which
affairs have taken for.some time past, both in the
North and South of Spain, it seems that orders
have been given to seven regiments of militia,
which were ordered to be put under arms, to re-
turn to their homes.

DEVON COUNTY MEETING, FEB.

AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.
A County Meeting was held this day at the
Castle of'Exeter, to consider the present state of
the Agricultural Interest; Sir JOHN DAVIE, Bart.
High Sheriff, in the Chair.
Among those present-Were Earl Fortescue (Lord Lieutenant)
Lord Clifford, Lord Rolle, Hon. Newton Fellowes, Sir T. D.
/Wand, Bart. E. P. Bastard, Esq. M.P., S. W. Pole,
Bart., Colonel Pell, S. F. Milford, Esq., E. P. Lyon, Esq.
&c. &c.
The limn bnEarrr having opened the busi-
ness, and the Requisition having been read, the
following Letter from the Duke of Bedford was
read by the Under Sheriff :
" Woburn Abbey, Jan. 28, 1822.
" Selt—l perceive by the Exeter Papers, that you have, in
compliance with a requisition, numerously anti respectably
signed, convened a Meeting of n County of DeVon on Friday,
the Ist of February, to take into consideration the propriety of
petitioning Parliament on ;:se present alarming state of the
agriculture of the country.'
" Had I been in Devonshire, I should have felt it to be my
duty to attend this meeting, but as it is impossible for me to be
there, I must apologise to you for my absence ; and in doing
this; I cannot refrain from expressing shortly my view of the
momentous question about to be brotight under the considera-
tion of the county of Devon, I have endeavoured to divest
my mind of all party feeling, as it is the duty of every man to
do on Such an occasion, and on the most deliberate and unpar-
'dal review I can take of the state of thlcountry, I shall ex-
press freely. the conviction of my mind as to the causes of tile
difficulties under which we labour.
" The accounts. I receive of the universal distress under
which the extensive and once opulent county of Devon is now
suffering, are indeed melancholy, and as the county is now
about to meet for the pus-pose of petitioning Parliament, it is
incumbent on us to, encleavtair to discover the real cause of that
distress, and to find out an adequate remedy.
" The main cause is, in my opinion, an oppressive and bur-
thensome taxation, pressing heavily on all the sources of our
national industry, and paralising all our efforts to-struggle
against this overwhelming evil : the remedy is equally obvious;
a reduction of taxation, retrenchment of all useless expenditure,
and a strict and rigid system of economy in every branch and
department of the Government, and to this alone should our
petitions to Parliament be confined. Without going into the
various causes that have been assigned for the distress which
now weighs so,heavily on agriculture, or the remedies that have
been suggested, I cannot refrain from cautioning the county
against that delusive mode of relief which has been so much in-
sisted upon—protecting dtiti2s—this is a project so utterly incon-
sistent with sound poli, y, that I cannot but rejoice to see that
the more enlightened amo-igst our farmers are daily opening
their eyes to the fallacy of it. The English farmer must be
enabled to maintain a competition with the foreign grower of
corn by other means than forcing high prices ; there is moreover
something odious in the principle of levying a duty on the food
of man, and thus raising by artificial means the price of such
an article of the first necessity as bread corn.
6"faxation is the main cause that prevents the British culti-
vator from competing with the corn grower on the Continent,
and the overwhelming weight and pressure of taxation which
affects not only the farmer, but every class of the community,
must be removed. Agriculture is the principal source of a
nation's wealth and prosperity, and when that is crippled and
depressed, the depression must extend through all parts of the
population.
" It would be entering into too wide a field of discussion to
examine the various causes which have brought us into our
present difficulties; it will suffice to say, that we must look
chiefly to an improvident waste of our national resources—to an
extravagant expenditure of the public money—to a lavish dis-
regard of every principle of economy ; grown into a system,
long pursued by the Executive Government, and sanctioned by
a confiding House of Commons.
'" One thing alone can secure us against a recurrence of this
mighty evil, and this is a timely and salutary reform of the
Representation of the. People, iu the Commons House of Par-
liament. I have long thought this, and every day's expe-
rience confirms me more and more In the truth and soundness
of the opinion.
" May I request that you will have the goodness to commu-
nicate the contents of this letter to the meeting on Friday next.
" I have the honour tp be, Sir,
" Your very faithful and obedient Sersamt,
(Signed) • " BEDFORD.
" Sir John Davie, Bt. High Sheriff of the county of Devon."
Earl FORTESCUE then carne forward and said,
that although the contents of the Requisition
were in unison with his own feelings, he had no:-
thing whatever to do with its signature or pro-
mulgation ; at the same time he would not for-
bear expressing his satisfaction that such a meet-
ing had been called. The subject for which they
were met he considered to be one of considerable
difficulty, and he trusted it would riot be rendered
still more intricate by the introduction of any
irrelevant matter. He did not feel himself com-
petent from his habits and situation to' be able
to enter at large into the various parts of .this
most important subject. •He could not say to his
own satisfaction which of the many remedies pro-
posed among the politicians of the day was the
most effectual. Neither did he expect to find
relief from this-meeting ; but when all were alike
suffering, it was.not only proper that they should
state their grievances, but it was incumbent upon
then' to petition Parliament for relief ? and he
hoped that the petition which he now had the
-honour to .present to• them would be agreed to
unanimously, as the circumstance of its being the
unanimous vote of the county would certainly in-
sure its weight with the Legislature. The Noble
Earl then proceeded to state to the meeting the state
of the
.expenditure of 1792; and after shelving how
completely incompatible were high taxation and
low, prices, he pointed out how fallacious the
idea was, that any relief can, be given to the
farmer by any Corzi Law whatever, while the
debt and expences.of the Government take away
Such an immense portion of the produce of the
industrious part Of the community; that although
he was not himself prepared to say some regula-
tion may not be made with regard to the impor-
tation of corn, still he thought such regulation
must be. inefficient. He had heard of a plan to
reduce the interest of the fuudholder, and if the
meeting had not much sympathy with that part
of the community, still to reduce those who had
bought funded property previous to 1792 would
be unjust ; he thought that a loss should not fall
upon them; and to ,divide between the two,
would be, in his opinion, extremely difficult.
A few years- ago, if arty individual advanced
the opinion that the Bank Of England paper
was depreciated, he was treated as a visionary,
and paper, said many individuals, is as good for
all the purposes of life as gold. But then comes
what is called the Bank Restriction Act, and
all the gold disappeared ; the consequence was,
that a still larger issue of paper was necessary,
and as the extravagance of Government proceed-
ed, the issues of Bank paper were exactly in pro-.

portion ; at last their depretiation Was so apparent
that it was necessary to pass a..law to make Bank
notes' a legal tender. The Bank thus usurped
the power of the King ; he only has the power
to coin money from gold and silver, but the Bank
coined money from- paper!.! When then, the
peace came in 1814, another law was made to
prevent the Bank returning to cash payments,
and although an. iss•ie of gold coin took, place,
they were rarely to be tnet with, and very soon
vanished altogether. In 1819 comes Mr. Peel's
Bill, which obliges the Bank to pay all their notes
in specie to May 1823, and until that time the
produce of the country. would continue to de-
cline, and the only efficient plan in his opinion to
give relief to their sufferings was to lessen the
taxation. Ile then proposed the following Peti-
tion for the adoption of the Meeting :
vve desire humbly to call your attention to the overwhelm-
ing distress which has spread itself over every description of
persons connected with the landed interest, and which, if not
speedily arrested in its progress, threatens to involve the whole
community in one general ruin. We do not presume to point
to your wisdom the measures whiCh may best conduce to our
relief,. but we venture to express our opinion that it is nat to be
derived from any system of protecting or prohibifory duties,
since the evils of which we complain' arise from. causes wholly
different from those to which such remedies can apply.
" Without entering upon any discussion of the causes which
have produced the low prices of every article of agricultural
produce, it remains only to adjust the Means of the agriculturist
to the existing state of things, so as to enable him to bring the
produce of his-industry to market, with a reasonable profit to
himself and with consequent advantage to the country.
" We see no prospect of this object being effected, liut'by
relieving him from the Imrthen of those taxes which bear most
directly upon him, and thus in some degree assimilating his'
condition with the Cultii'ator4 of the land in other countries,
where the fiscaltdanands of Government lie less heavily upon
them.
"So far from presuming- to suggest what . particular taxes
might come within this scheme, we freely allow that oar local
habits render 'us incompetent to take so comprehensive a view of
the general interests of the country • we therefore humbly sub-
mit that subject to the wisdom of those whom the Constitution
has v.-sted with the legislation of the whole kingdom.
" Having submitted to your consideration-the state of the ac-
tual cultivators of the land, we cannot overlook the condition of
the Landholders, Clergy and other Titheholders, who are of
necessity sharers in the same distress, and who with reduced
means cannot possibly sustain the same weight of taxation
which they have hitherto done.
" To effect these purposes, that is, to affbrd protection to the
most numerous, the most useful; and most respectable portion
of the community, which is the'only legitimate end of all taxa-.
tion, it is in our view become necessary to have recourse to an
extraordinary reduction of our public establishments,
Naval, and Civil, and to apply the severest economy to the ad-
ministration of' those which may be suffered to remain, and fur-
thee to use an impartial and unsparing hand in paring down to
the present level of relative value all those incomes, from those
of the highest to the lowest individual. in the State, which arise
out of the Public Expenditure.; to such measures alone we can
look for any real and substantial redress, and we rely with the
fullest confidence on the wisdom and power of Parliament for
the accomplishment of .our expectations, by turning their im-
mediate attention to our well grounded claim on their interpo-
sition on our behalf."
Lord ROLLE seconded the motion, and pledged himself as
a Member of Parliament, to give the subject everyconsidera-
tion, and to support the prayer of the petition in the House of
Lords.
It. W. NEwarAN, Esq. M.P. for Exeter, then addressed
the meeting. lie did not conic to the meeting with an inten-
tion of obtruding himself upon its notice, and therefore begged
its indulgence while he addressed a few words to
the meeting;
at any rate lie would state that if his address-was not eloquent it
should at least be honest. The Meeting had heard from the
Noble Mover of the Petition a clear state of the case, that ex-
cessive taxation is the cause of all our sufferings. But Ministers
said they could not do without the immense establishments of all
sorts which existed in the country, and these establishments
could not be kept up without .this most extravagant amount of
taxation. What, however, was their conduct as soon as Parlia-
ment refused some part :of the supplies—they reduce their ex-
penses directly, although-they had before stated that it was im-
possible to go on with a Jess establishment than the one which
at that moment existed. He would tell Ministers to 'cut their
expenses down to meet-the present currency—reduce your army
and navy and lessen the Civil List. The army is four times as.
large now its it *as in 1792, and the nhvy is moth too exten-
sive for the present means of the country. He would not enter
into the subject of the currency—that he thought had been
already satisfactorily done by the mover of the Petition, but
would conclude by stating that the Petition had his most hearty
concurrence.

The Hon. NEWTON FELLOWES did not wish to disturb the
harmony of the meeting, but could not help observing, that he
thought that the petition did not go far enough. fie contended,
that by objecting to the petition he should not go out of order;
but he did not mean to do so ; he only wished. that measures
should be adopted to prevent a recurrence of those very des-
perate evils of which the country so loudly and•so feelingly coin-
plained unless this was done, the meeting would be nugatory.
If the cause of the disease was left, what guarantee had they
that the same thing would not occur again ? As the only way
to prevent this, he begged leave to move, as a rider to the peti-
tion, the following resolution :
•" That you will institute an inquiry into the state of the re-
presentation of the Commons' House of Parliament, and adopt
a timely and salutary reform."
Mr. A. G. C. Tv CKEII said that the expenditure of the Go-
vernment must be reduced ; he would allow Ministers one half
more than they had in KW, and let one-third of the taxes be
removed. He should beg leave to second the rider of the Hon.
G en tlem an .

i%lr. J. Rom) contended, that nothing could be done without
reformed Parliament ; petitioning the present was of no use.
The good old ship Britannia was among the breakers ; it was
the duty of every one of the crew to endeavour to save her from
being wrecked upon the sands of corriiption, which must inevit-
ably be the case if they did not do their duty. to themselves.
Lord CLIFFORD said he thought it desirable that unanimity
should if possible be obtained; when he signed the Requisition
he did not expect that the subject which the rider embraced
would have been introduced. He, seemed inclined to consider
its introduction out of order.

This produced a reply from the: Hon. N. FELLOWES, who
said that the state of the Representation was one of the causes
of the agricultural distress, and certainly it did come K ithin the
object of the Requisition.
Mr. C. fIAmr.YN, Colonel PELT., and the Rev. W. P.
THOMAS, stated their opinion that Reform was the only effec-
tual remedy.
Mr. BIRD proposed that the meeting sh mid give three times
three, for J. Hume, Esq. which was given accordingly. He
had also another move to make, that they should give three
times three, for Reform.

After a few words from Earl FoRTESCUE, accounting for the
absence of Lord Ebrington, the Under Sheriff read the Peti-
tion, and it was proposed to the meeting, and adopted. The
rider of the Hon. Newton Fellowes was then put, and those
who favoured it were requested to hold up their hats, when it
was detrared to have beerrca-rried in -the affirmative.

Sir T. D. ACKLAND declared, that he would not undertake
to support the prayer of the rider in Parliament; and Lord
ROLLE protested against-it altogether.
Mr. BASTARD supported the petition without any hesitation.
Thanks were voted to the High Sheriff,• and the meeting se.
parated.

A statement was in circulation on Saturday,
that intelligence of the surrender of Callao to
SAN MARTIN had arrived. It rests on the au-
thority of letters received from Paris, which
mention that a Santa Fe Gazette of October had
reached the Deputy from Columbia, who has
resided in that capital since the termivation of
his mission to Madrid, which announces the-fall
of the important fortress above mentioned. The
account is sufficiently circumstantial, and it is
said to have been communicated by the Secre-
tary of General SAN MARTIN in a dispatch to
the Governor of Guayaquil; buy, on the exa-
mination of dates, we think it barely possible j

that it should be true. Callao was in the pos-
session of the Royalists on the 13th of September,
and, allowing them to stand a siege of only a
few days longer, the account could scarcely
reach Santa Fe, having first been conveyed by
sea to Guayaquil, in October. On the other
hand, we think it ought not wholly to be discre-
dited.—(llorning Parer.)

Office, to recover a sum of 211. for Surgical attendance on, au;'
21.155. Gd. for medicines furnished to the father of the &fen',
ant. •It appeared from the evidence of a Mr. Davis, who keel"
a Lock-up House in Dean-street, Soho, that the father of
defendant was taken in execution for :3 or 4001., and whilit i;
custody, -had cut his throat, in two places, with a razor ;
that he (Mr. D.) sent for Messrs. Morgans, who dressed t,"'
wounds, and attended Mr. R. for a considerable time afterwaroP':
Mr. Davis sent for the defendant, to communicate to him wh,:;
had happened ;-and he having arrived after the first operation
been performed, was told by Mr. D. that it would be necessa%'
to procure some person to sit up with his father that night ; '
which he replied, " Let my father have every attention neecso-,
ry, and I shall pay for it. • One,of the plaintiff's was preSebt
at this conversation, and sat up with Mr. E. that night. IVV; -
•D. relying on this promise, had furnished lr. U. with severo'
necessaries, which the defendant had subsequently paid for.'
Mr. Morgan, a surgeon, the brother of one of the

proved
entitled to five guineas if they lied done nothing.ilic
than performed the first operation, and that the whole
charq

had visited Mr. Ridout three, four, and five times a day for d
first fourtpen days.
Dr. Stevenson proved that he saw the wounds, and considerc.A
the plaintiffs ought to get ten guineas for the first
-operation, "r
they had never after visited Mr.. ftidout• lie thonght: tht'
whole charge moderate.
The .SOLICITOR-GENERAI., for the defendant, conteno
that he was not bdund by the. words proved to pay for the•tin't
operation, and that the charge for that must be
.deducted fralu
the bill. He also submitted to the Jury that, coupling the
words spoken by the defendant with Mr. Davis's statement;
" that-it would be necessary to have some person to sit up
t
night" the defendant was not bound to pay for more than the
night's attendance.
The CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury, who immedisOf
