MADRID, APRIL I.—(Private Letter.)—Yes-
terday, in an Extraordinary Session of the Cortes,
the impeachment of the late Minister of War:,
General Sanchez Salvador, was decided on. This
looks like real responsibility,—and the case is
one of aggravated injustice. lie had marked out
an eminent and excellent patriot for his victim,
Colonel Serrano, whom he had brought before
the Tribunals with no other evidence than an
anonymous letter, sent by the said Minister him-
self to the presiding Judge. Serrano, however,
and his pretended accomplices, were absolved.
The interest taken in this question is very eager,
as Serrano is one of our pu'rest and most enthu-
siastic Liberals.

Our Ministry pursues its career with deter-
mined step and evil augury. They have again
added to their streugth by a number of new ap-
pointments, and the list just published of Politi-
cal Chiefs and Military Commandants is made
up of names noted only for their attachment to
this corrupt faction. Among them is llezeta, the
bosom friecd of our Prime Minister, who is made
Political Chief of Granada, and this shortly after
having attacked with a stiletio a printer, who
refused to give up the name of the author of
some anonymous paper in which he was attacked.
A number of the Ex-Deputies are in the list,
consisting of those who supported the Liberti-
cide Laws, with which they closed their la-
bours, and which they gave us as an inheritance.
To-day Riego's Presidency has ceased. No-
thing can be more admirable, nothing can be
more prudent and dignified, than his conduct in
the Chair. There has been a severe struggle for
the second Presidency and Secretaryships. The
Ministerialists have won the former. Hay etansVal-
des is appointed. The Opposition the latter, having
installed D. Angel Saavadra. Thus, in fact, all our
grand questions are decided—and the two par-
ties seem so exactly balanced, that every thing
is determined by ttvo or three Members, whose
principles are doubtful, and who are wafted
t; bout by the impulse or the intrigue of the
m~~me..t.

We have still unpleasant news from Pamplona.
The liberal garrison is shut up in the fortress,
and constantly insulted by the Servile:, who
speak out of the certain aid they are to receive
from the French Cordon. If our Government
had any sense or energy, they would answer the
plots of French Ultras by sending Mina, or Lo-
pez Banos, among the Pyrenneau provinces, and
turn these execrable weavonl of conspiracy upon
themselves ; but we have no hopes of this.

We have news from Costa Firma of the middle
of January. General Cruz Mourgeon, who had
arrived at Panama with an expedition of 3,000
men against the Insurgents, having been invited
to join the Columbian Republic, replied, that he
came from Spain to assist the cause of liberty,
and not to destroy or injure it. Bolivar has
named him Captain-General of Quito.
We wait anxiously for the decision as to Cadiz
being declared a free port. The Ministers will
oppose it. They had the Gadalanos, who are
too stubborn to bEnd the neck to any sort of op-
pression; and too active to be lulled by any false
and vain promises.

CITY BUSINESS.-Yesterday a Court of Alder-
men was held at Guildhall, for the general dis-
patch of public business.—Several persons were
sworn, and others allowed, and some discharged
from the office of brokers.—NEWMAN KNOWLYS,
Esq. Recorder, was unanimously elected Steward
of the Borough of Southwark, in the room of Sir
John Silvester, Bart. late Recorder, deceased.—
A poor girl of St. Margaret, Westminster, was
admitted into the School of Emanuel Hospital.
—A Court of Common Council will be held this
day, to consider the steps necessary to be taken
in consequence of the appointment of NEWMAN
KNowL-vs, Esq. Common Serjeant, to the office
of Recorder.

CITY OF LONDON NATIONAL Scmoor.s.—On Sunday
last the Anniversary Sermon in behalf of this excellent In-
stitutiOn was preached at St. Andrew's, Holborn, by the Lord
Bishop of LONDON, before his Royal Highness the Duke of
York, the Patron ; the Right Hon. Lord Kenyon ; John
Whitmore, Esq. the President; Mr. Alderman Bridges, who
was the only Alderman that attended ; Fred. Webb, Esq. and
others of the Vice-Presidents, the Stewards, and Committee.—
In this spacious and beautiful Church a most respectable
and crowded congregation was assembled ; among whom the
orderly demeanour of the hundreds of poor children who at-
tended, their strict attention to their religious duties, and the
admirable manner in which they bore their part in the. service
of the day, were the theme of universal praise ; and we are
happy to learn that the success of the Right Rev. Preacher's
forcible appeal was evinced by one of the largest collections
which has ever accrued to the funds of the Institution. On
the Duke of York's quitting the church, he was received by the
multitudes who thronged the whole surrounding space with
every testimony of respect and affection ; and it was only by
the remonstrances of the Treasurer and other gentlemen con-
nected with the institution, and by their representations of the
sacredness of the day, addressed to those immediately in the
line through which his Royal Highness passed to his carriage,
that they were persuaded to refrain from loudly cheering him.
It is equally gratifying to the feelings of Englishmen to see
the people actuated by such a spirit, and to behold the second
member of the Illustrious House of Brunswick upholding the
Constitution in Church and in State, by his patronage of such
an institution as we have here brought to the notice of our
readers.
