'ADRID, APRIL 21.

The King and Royal Family still inhabit the Palace at Aran.
joe7z. Prince Maximilian of Saxony, and Princess Amelia,
his daughter, set out yesterday to return to Germany by the
way of Valencia and Barcelona, and through France.
Ws Majesty has addressed to the first Secretary of State a
rtoYttl Decree, relative to the preservation and religious observ-
ance of the fundamental and other laws of the Spanish Mo-
narchy :
" I have learned with the most lively grief, that for some time
alarming reports have been insidiously spread, that it is intend-
ed to oblige or to counsel me to make reforms and innovations
in the regime and Government of my kingdoms, by altering
its ancient and respectable fundamental laws, and limiting my
Royal authority. It is a duty, and at the same time a satisfac-
tion to me, to contradict a fiction as malicious as it is criminal.
I declare in consequence, not only that I am resolved to pre-
leo/ entire, and in all their plentitude, the legitimate rights of
1117 sovereignty, without giving up now, or at any other time,
the slightest particle of them, and without permitting the esta-
blishment of chambers-or of other institutions of whatever de-
tonaination, which may be contrary to our laws and usages ;
but that, on the contrary, I have the most solemn and the most
Positive assurance that all my august allies, who have given me
50 many proofs of their sincere affection, and their efficacious
e°-operation in the welfare of my kingdom, will continue to sup-
Port on all occasions the legitimate and sovereign authority of
n► 7 crown, without advising or proposing to me directly or
indirectly any innovation in the form of my Government.
" I also declare, that I have taken the firm and immovable
resolution to cause the laws to be kept and respected, without
tolerating abuses of any kind, without permitting violence and
totrigue to take the place of justice, and without consenting that
'ender the pretext or appearance of attachment to my Royal per-
", and to my authority, those who shall seek by those means
to cover their disobedience and insubordination shall not escape
lust punishment. Strict observance of the laws, the prompt
execution of my decrees and ordinances, and respect for the au.
thorities, are the solid foundations of order and prosperity ;
theiz• which every Spaniard who is truly a Royalist, and devot-
ed to the Sovereign, ought to make the rule of his conduct;
asd those which, notwithstanding the acts and attempts of male•
l*nce, will secure the peace of my kingdoms, and the happi-
neu of my beloved subjects, which are the objects dearest to

InY heart."
Majesty concludes by recommending to all the deposi.
tea of his authority, to cause the laws to be strictly observed,
,v
Ithout respect to persons or circumstances. This decree, sign.
ad by the King's own hand, is dated Aranjuez, April 19, and
alltiressed to Don Francisco de Zea Bermudez.
The liberals say now, that M. Zea Bermudez, seeing the
*ettn that threatened him, has caused the preceding decree to
addressed to him, which should have been addressed to M.
.•-•‘Lornarele., as Minister of Justice. This decree may have been
li,.finted by the numerous addresses to the King, on the dis-
la of M. Ugarte, in favour of whom public opinion declares
n I
.te loudly. than ever.
Gazette contains a decree, relative to the purification of
./1` t,ouncil of State. A junta is formed for this purpose, e
thtident of which, is Gomez Calderon, formerly Memberth of
Jtulta at Oyarzun,-and the Secretary 51. Quadra, formerly
elllber of the Council of State.
„4 letter from Bayonne, of 24th April, says, " M. Ugarte is
here, and there is no indication of his speedy departure."

From the Constitutiounel of Sunday, Mall 1•)
ss MILAN, APRIL 13.
(EXTRACTED FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.)
Official news has just been received that the Emperor will
arrive on the 28th in-this capital of the kingdom of Lombardy
iHfel Venice. Notice has also been received that the Grand
Duke
of Tuscany left Florence on the 17th : we expect him
every moment.
The report in circulation some time ago that the Emperor of
tL,ussia and the King of Prussia will come in the sequel to 31i-
mh, seems to be mere credited.
Count de Bubria said yesterday evening, in a numerous
c°lllPanY, " The Italians may congratulate themselves on the ap-
Proaching arrival of the Emperor, which has been so often an-
nouncedlh„, and always deferred, for several years. 1 think I may
rm that they will be agreeably surprised at what he intends
to do in their favour. His Majesty knows the wishes and the
real wants of the Italians. He is convinced that the time is
Woe to put an end to the marasma.which keeps them in a state
of inaction and dejection, as injurious to the general interest as
I_4 opposition to the genius of the inhabitants, and the immense
resources of a country to which nature has been so lavish of her

The avowal is as curious as the observation is just. T shall
not undertake to act the Edipus on this occasion. We shall
not have long to wait for the solution of the enigma: but if were
"11 a bait, as when it was thought to seduce by the pompous
Ohouncement of the creation of a new kingdom of Lombardy
1.1,4.,(1 Venice, without accompanying it with any real effect of
'-orantage to the country, and conformable to the spirit of the
Vge, then the Emperor would be soon convinced that the Ita-
lahs tare no longer t..e h dupes of illusions, and that the time of
"Ise promises is past. We shall see.

Among the various reports in the City this
(la i
Y) t Was rumoured that, after the Coronation,
the King of FRANcE means to join the Congress
to be likely to take place at Milan.

Several Petitions were last night presented to
e House of Commons on the subject of the
Co •
tabulation LaWs, out of which a short discus-
sion
- arose. It appears that the workmen, since the
411'4 of all the Laws on the subject, have, not
used the liberty thus accorded to them with suffi-
cient discretion. They have not only combined,
bat
combined for the most mischievous objects,
.44' in order to dictate to their masters the method
.41 which they shall conduct their trades, and it
3 very obvious that, unless something be done to
reveut occurrences like these, no man could or
"`could risk 1415 property in a trade so precarious as
ulinufacturing mild be under such circumstances.
Ili
e great difficulty, however, in these matters is,
4r.steer a middle course, and, whilst the workmen
toe Prevented from forming combinations to dictate
th their masters, to take care that they are not at
tiws4rne time committed entirely to the mercy of
exiir masters. A sort of combination always does
the t among the masters—it is inseparable -from
it I. influence Property always must have, and
plin
enoug
chalicea It that a single workman has no
against a single master to obtain what it

is perhaps just that he should obtain, and which
would therefore, form a very legitimate ground
for a combination, viz., an advance of wages. The
worliman is no slave ; he is not compelled to work
longer than he pleases, or for less than he pleases;
but how little benefit can he derive from having
his will thus free if the exercise of it is to doom
him to starvation. Thus a law to prohibit com-
bination to obtain an advance of wages would, in
effect, place the %e orkman at the mercy of his
employers. But if combination is to be allowed
for one object (and it should seem that it would he
unjust to prohibit it) how is it possible to pre-
vent a combination for another ; the avowed ob-

ject may be legal, the secret object may be alto-
gether illegal ; and how to allow the one and
prohibit the other presents a difficulty of no ordi-
nary dimensions, 'and which we confess ourselves
unable to overcome. Again, if combination for
an advance of wages is to be allowed, it
follows as a necessary consequence, that the
subscribing to a fund to support workmen who
have struck for wages must be alloWed also,
or otherwise necessity would drive the refractory
to accede to the terms of their maters ; and
what security have the public that funds thus
legally collected shall not be perverted to other
purposes. Whilst adverting to these difficulties
in legislating on this-most importancsubject, it is
right to add, that we cannot sufficiently depre-
cate the line of conduct lately pursued by the
Workmen, not only towards their employers, but

towards other workmen, who have not thought
fit to join their associations. The use of force
and threats on such occasions ought at all
events to be put down, and combination, it
it exist at all, ought to exist by the mere

force of opinion only. The opinions of
roost bodies of men are in general cor-
rect, and this might give some security that
combination, if allowed, would not be turned
from its proper and justifiable intentions, viz.the
securing to the workmen a due reward for their
labours. Perhaps the annexing a punishment,
not only adequate to the injury done to the ob-
ject of their vengeance, but also adequate to the
injury the public sustain thereby, might restrain
this evil. The powers of an association ought to
extend only to the members of it, not of necessity
to cover all persons who happen to he employed
in the same branch of trade. In this restricted
form it is hardly possible that any great evil could
arise from combination, and, if therefore, the
new law were to be directed to restrain the evils
that have been found to spring from combina.
dons, rather than to restraining combinations
altogether, and if such associations were put
under the same regulations as Benefit or Friendly
Societies now are, or nearly so, it would, per-
haps, go hard to remove all ground of complaint
on either side. We are not sorry, however, that
the ancient Laws regarding combinations have
been repealed, because they were complex, in-
sufficient, and, worse than all, unjust.

DOVER, MAT 3.—The Comet and Lightning
Government steam-boats arrived here on Sunday, for the pur-
pose of conveying his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBZILLAND
and suite to Calais. The Marquis of Carmarthen, Lord Prudhoe,
Lord Hervey, Lord Pelham, Lady W. W. Wynne, Lady H.
Clive, and some others of the party, arrived last night-et the
York Hotel; and this morning about nine the Duke and
Duchess of Northumberland arrived there from Bisliopsboum,
the seat of the Honourable and Reverend H. Percy, near Can-
terbury. The party embarked about ten o'clock on board the
Comet, under a salute from the Western Heights, the Light-
ning following► with the carriages. On quitting the harbour,
his Majesty's ship 'Brazen, Captain Willis, saluted the Comet,
and, immediately getting:under weigh from her anchorage in
Dover Roads, accompanied the two steam-vessels to Calais,
with a fine breeze at west. The piers were lined with speaa-
tors, who heartily cheered the Noble Duke as he sailed from
the harbour ; and there is every prospect of their having landed
at Calais in less than three hours. It is reported that great
preparations are making at Calais for their reception.—The
Monarch, Captain Hayward, arrived yesterday from Boulogne,
with Lady Francis OrSborne. By this vessel news is received
that her Royal Highness the Duchess de Berry has determined
to pass some weeks this summer at Boulogne, for the benefit of
sea-bathing.
