(From the Same.)
Her Majesty the Queen Regent has been pleased to re-
solve that the note which your Excellency forwarded to the
Ministry under date of the 22d of April, of the actual
standing on the great book belonging to the passive foreign
debt, and of the sixth part, which, according to the Royal
decree of the 28th of February, may be consolidated in the
present'year, shall be published for the information of the
nation and its creditors, as is ordered by the Royal decree
of the 21st instant, in reference to the internal debt to be
consolidated.

Communicated by Royal order to your Excellency,

MENDIZAgAL.

FOREIGN PASSIVE DEBT.

It had been estimated that the amount of this debt
would have reached the sum of 1,051,000,000 reals, but
the amount of documents hitherto produced in London and
Paris reach only 1,048,640,000 reals.
Calculating, however, that they may amount to
1,051,000,000, the sixth part to be consolidated will be
175,166,666 4-6.

TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN-REGENT.

Madam,—Of all the public establishments by which a
great nation can be illustrated, none can give it a higher
title than such as are devoted to the relief of human mi-
sery, or to the reward, as far as it is possible, of the pains,
the fatigues, the wounds, and the sacrifices made by the
defenders of the country.
Many monuments mark the power and splendour of
Great Britain and France, but none claim more strongly
the attention of the observant traveller than the Hospitals
of the Invalids at Paris, and of Chelsea and Greenwich at
London : the first two offered as an asylum to the veterans
of the army, and the last to the maimed of the British fleet,
the basis of the prosperity, and even of the liberty, of that
celebrated country.

Your Majesty, in your decree of the 20th bf October,
1835, evinced the warm wish by which you were animated
to follow this noble example in the first part ; but it re-
mains to you, Madam, to finish this noble work—to extend
your Royal bounty to the sailors 9f Spain, so deserving by
their services and sufferings of the gratitude and sympathy
of the nation.

The College of San Telmo, at Seville, appears the posi-
tion best fitted for an establishment at once so philanthro-
pic and so national. Situated in so benign and delicious a
climate, on the banks of the Guadalquivir, and in the
neighbourhood of so important a maritime station as Ca-
diz, it offers sufficient space for. these illustrious veterans
without the necessity of incurring heavy expenses.
Wherefore I have the honour of proposing most humbly
to your Majesty's Royal sanction the following draught of
a decree, submitting it to such emendations as your Mel—
jesty may see fit to direct.

" ROYAL DECREE.

" In order that those individuals of the Royal Navy of all
classes who have been in the service, but rendered unable to
gain their livelihood by means of their labour, may find a
well-merited and honourable asylum where to remain for the
remainder of their days, I decree, in the name of my august
daughter, Isabella 11., and as Regent of the kingdom
during her minority—

" Article 1. A naval invalid hospital shall be estab-
lished, expressly designed for those who may become so
either by wounds received in battle, shipwreck, fires, or
by the evils of old age, contracted in constant and active
service.

"2. This hospital shall be established in the edifice
which now serves as the College of San Telnio, in the city
of Seville, and without prejudice to that college.
" 3. A commission of three individuals, wom you will
name, and with knowledge and experience in establishments
of a similar nature in foreign countries, will propose the re-
gulations proper for the government of this hospital, and
the steps necessary to be taken to carry into effect this my
Royal decree.
" 4. The same commission will suggest the means by
which the expenditure of the said hospital is to be sus-
tained with convenience and comfort to the well-deserving
invalid, without becoming too onerous a charge to the State
or individuals, in order that such may be submitted to the
approbation of the Cortes, if necessary.
Signed by the Royal hand, at the Pardo, April, 1836.
" To Don Juan Alvarez y Mendizabal."

Since Friday morning the therroo►netcr at Brighton
has been standing at two degrees below the temperature of
Christmas, 1832, and three degrees below the same period of
the following year.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.--On Wednesday a re-
spectablv-dressed, delicate-looking young woman, was brought
before the Mayor .under the following circumstances:—.Mr.
Foster, constable, said that he took the young woman into
,his
charge ou the preceding evening on the Foreshore, in conse-
quence of a gentleman now present informing him that she
was there with intent to commit suicide. Mr. John llyett,
the gentleman alluded to, stated that last evening, about seven
o'clock, he was walking on the river side, towards Hessle,
when, about half a mile above the Pottery, he saw the young
woman standing within the tide-mark, looking towards the
sea. About an hour afterwards, on his return, he saw five or
six people standing together, with the same young person.
One of them called to him, and asked him to endea-
vour to persuade her to go home. Ile in consequence
reasoned with her, and tried to induce her to leave the spot,
which she did not seem inclined to do. She did not say
much, but refused to go Witness told her, if she would not
go willingly, he should be under the necessity of applying to
some one who had the power to compel her. She, however,
still resisted. Witness then requested some of the young
men present to watch her proceedings while he went for a
constable. He eventually met with Mr. Foster, into whose
custody he gave her. Mr. Foster said she would not frivc
any account of herself; all the particulars he had been able to
procure from her were, that she came from Preston, in Lan-
cashire, and that she bad a sister named Mary Bristol, whose
husband was a hairdresser at Brighton. The mayor evinced
considerable sympathy in the young woman's behalf, and ad-
dressed her with much kindness of manner, requesting her to
state some particulars in regard to her condition, and her
motive for contemplating the committal of so rash an att.
There was every wish on the part of the magistrates, he said,
to do what kindness and humanity dictated, but it was neces-
sary she should give some account of herself, to enable thorn
to take the necessary steps to restore her to her friends. In a
low faint voice the prisoner said (as we understood her) that
she came from the Lancaster Asylum, and arrived here yes-
terday by one of the packets, th-at her name ;was Margaret
Lense, that her father was a native of Ireland, and by trade a
shoemaker; but, in answer to the question, of where be re-
sided, she said she must be excused from answering. The
mayor said it was necessary she should be taken care of, anti
that the person she mentioned at Brighton must be written to.
In answer to other questions, she said she had some money
about her. Mr. Lee, keeper of the lock-up, said that she
told the women who sat up with her, that she had been selling
her clothes during her journey to this place. She had, during
the night, several times threatened to strangle herself. The
mayor ordered Foster, the constable, to take her to the poor-
house, with directions that every attention should be paid her,
in order that a communication might be made to her friends of
the melancholy circumstances under which sho was met with
in this town.—Hull Packet.
