reduction of the fifth of his income. How dif-
ferent was the treatment of different classes of
French citizens. The emigrants had their pro-
Perty confiscated by revolutionary violence ; but
the emigrants were now indemnified at the ex-
Pence of the nation. The public annuitants
suffered from an act of similar violence, in losing
tyro-thirds of funds which they had lent to Go-
vernment, and which Government had pledged
itself to repay ; but, instead of meeting with in-
demnity, like the emigrants, they were now cum-
Pelted to endure a second robbery.

hi?* MAJESTY'S persecution of the Constitu-
tionalists, whch is still carried on with unabated
rigour. The secret society of Royalists, known
by the denomination of the " Exterminating
Angel," had, under the influence of the Monks,
resolved ❑pon a general massacre of the subdued
Party in Catalonia ; but the execution of this
atrocious design was prevented by the arrest of
the priestly incendiaries who had planned it. In
t>tremadura, the Prior of Magazela had ordered
the arrest of thirty'-four inhabitants of a small
town, containing only about three hundred in the
'whole. The populace are worked up to a state
of frenzy by the Ecclesiastics, who ascribe all
the misery of the land to the displeasure of Di-
Ihie Providence because the Ncgros are suffered
to live.

A.letter from Turin expresses an opinion that
a milder system is about to he adopted towards
those persecuted men whose generous impru-

of Which his conscience disapproved, had shown
towards them at his death a forgiving kindness,

His •
vok. Majesty the Emperor has issued a proclamation, con-
t4i nig the estates of the kingdom of Poland to assemble for the
closerd general Diet, which is to year on the 13th of May, and to
, on the 13th of June, this . The proclamation con-

Another Proclamation is as follows :

all;Ze dangerous abuse which one article in the Charter has
licity.caused, and may cause again—considering that the pub-
ot the debates in both Chambers has induced the speakers to

clamed the debates degenerated-into empty declamations, cal-
to destroy the expected unanimity, and to banish the
tranquillity and' decorum which should prevail in every im-

portant deliberation—desiring to cure the evil in its source, to
prevent the necessity of all influence in elections and opinions,
and to cause our subjects of the kingdom of Poland to enjoy all
the benefits which the Charter accords to them, we hive resolved
to fortify our work, by altering, by means of an additional
article, one point of the regulations which experience has Proved
to us to be highly detrimental. We have therefore decreed as
follows :

" The sittings at the opening and close of the Diet, and those
in which the Royal sanction of projects of law is declared, shall
be public as hitherto.
" In the elections of Committees, and in every discussion and
debate in the two Chambers, they always form themselves into
a Special Committee.
" This article forms an inseparable part of the Charter.

The Jour►►al of St. Petersburgh denies the
statement iu the French Papers, that a treaty has
been concluded between Russia and Spain, by
which the latter power was to receive military
aid from the former in exchange for the cession
of the Balearic Islands. The Russian journalist
assures his readers, that " since 1814 the Russian
Cabinet has concluded no treaties but those
which have contributed to the restoration of
general peace which all Europe desired ; and its
policy is confined to the maintenance of those
principles which, in concert with the Allied
Courts, it has so often and so formally sanctioned
by its declarations and its measures."

The Nurcmburg Correspondent of the 17th
instant, arrived this morning, from which we make
the following extracts :
CASSEI„ MARCH 16.

On the 14th in the afternoon his Highness the Duke of Saxe
Meiningen, who is betrothed to the Princess Maria of Hesse,
arrived in this city and was received with great ceremony.
MUNICH, MARCH 14.
The first sitting of the Chamber of Deputies took place to-
day. The Minister of Finance, Baron Von Leichenfeld, gave
a very detailed statement of the public revenues and expendi-
ture for three years; after which the question of the printing
the journals of the proceedings in the Chamber was eoui-
dered. Mr. llacker, the Secretary, having barely alluded to
the necessity of -publishing the proceedings which had been
already acknowledged, proposed to make a contract with a
bookseller who should engage to have them printed on the
second day, at a certain price per sheet, and to furnish
300 copies for the Deputies, Public Officers, &c. at half
the price. A Member asked how the Journals should be com-
piled, whether the speeches are to be inserted at length, or only
an analysis of their contents. The first had been done in 1319
and 1822, but the printed Journals had been thus made very
dear. However, as he thought it advisable that the proceed-
ings should be sufficiently letailed, he proposed that Govern-
ment should bear half the expence. Another Member ob-
served, that the question was not the advantage of the pub-
licity of the proceedings, which any body who understood
the nature of Representative Constitutions considered as an
essential part of them ; nor was it the form in which the
journals should be drawn up, which the Chamber would itself
determine, who would know how to preserve dignity in its pro-
ceedings, and avoid diffusiveness in its journals. This last point
would be attained by Members refraining from making useless
speeches. This Speaker approved the proposal of Mr. Hacker,
only he would wish the Members of the Chamber which ought
to set the example of economy, should pay for their copies out
of their allowances ; because if they would not buy their own
commodity, other persons would be still less disposed to pur-
chase.—Mr. Hacker's proposal was adapted.

Jamaica Papers to the 9th February arrived
this morning. They do not contain any accounts
from the South American States : and the only
articles of interest are the following relative
to the resignation and the embarrassed state of
the affairs of Mr. MUIRIIEAD, the Receiver Ge-
neral of Jamaica :

ST. JAGO DE LA VEGA, JAY. 29.

It Is with extreme concern that we publish the notice concern-
ing the resignation and embarrassments of the Receiver-Ge-
neral, which we fear will occasion loss to many individuals.
There is, however, reason to believe that the public credit will
not be affected. This information, which we annex, only
reached us about an hour before our Paper usually goes

to press.
TO THE HONOURABLE COMMISSIONERS OF THE

PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.

GENTLEMEN—We have this moment received a letter from
R. B. Muirhead, Esq., Receiver-General, resigning that office,
by reason of his private difficulties arising from improvident
Loans, and undertaking Executorships. We represent the
present Lessee, and have great satisfaction in believing, from
Mr. Muirhead's statement, that his embarrassments will have
no influence on public credit ; for we have no doubt that under
any enquiry there will be found in the public chest every shil-
ling which can be claimed from the Patentee.
We have the honour to be, &c.
F. SMITrT,
G. VEDAL,
A ttornies to the Lessee.

In the Jamaica Courant of the Bth February, there is a very
long statement of the meeting of the check-holders of Mr.
Muirhead, in which it appears that his deficiency is about
80,4521. Though the Committee has with great anxiety and
earnestness endeavoured to obtain from Mr. Muirhead a clear
idea of the extent and nature of his actual losses, and the real
state of his affairs, the information received from him is alto-
gether vague and unsatisfactory; Mr. Muirhead having ex-
pressed himself to be unable, under six weeks or two months,
to furnish any other statement than what he has now given, from
his never having kept regular books of accounts, but merely me-
morandums, and those very imperfect, and his own and public
accounts being completely blended and greatly in arrear.—The
meeting was then declared by his Honour the Mayor to he
dissolved.

WESTMINSTER MEETING.—As we have to-day
given in another part of our Paper a report of
the Proceedings of this Meeting of yesterday,
and as the topic chiefly brought forward is now
employing the deliberative wisdom of the Legis.
lature, we have no occasion to animadvert on the
subject at present. That many of the respect-
able inhabitants of Westminster were present,
we, have no doubt, particularly as the majority
attended more to the temperate' speeches of
Messrs. BURDETT and llonilousE, than to the
inflammatory harangues of Mr. HUNT, and dis-
missed the latter with general marks of popular
displeasure.

The Duke of Yong transacted business yes-
terday with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE..
QuEn., in Downing-street.

The Earl of BiLMORE, who has been seriously
indisposed, we are happy to state, is getting
better.

The official documents, books, together with
the furniture, &c. of the Council Office, White-
hall, adjoining the Treasury, were finally removed
on Thursday to the temporary Council Office at
the end of Whitehall-place, on the right hand
side, of which place the official business connected
with the Council Office will be transacted till a
new Council Office is built.
