SPAIN.

.TVIADRID, JUNE 4.—'l lit. plot which has just
been defeated at Lisbon was so intimately connected with that
which has long been meditated in Spain, that even those per-
sons who trouble themselves the least about politics know it,
add openly speak of it. The name of Charles V. becomes
more popular; the few Royalist troops who have retained their
arms have declared in favour of that Prince, who, according to
them, has always felt a great interest in the army.
General Copons, who in 1814 presented the Constitution to
the King, inviting hint to take the oath to it, has just been ar-
rested at Cadiz, and will be brought to Madrid. The struggle
between the Government of the King and the Apostolic Junta
would terminate, there is reason to believe, in favour of the
former, if two or three blows, like that which we are going to
relate, proved to the factious that, supported by the French, it
is strong enough not only to check them but to crush :them.
Twenty of the most distinguiShed Members of the Apostolic
Junta have been banished.; among them is the celebrated Don
Victor Saez. It is affirmed also that the Duke del Infantado
.is one of them. This act of authority has caused the greatest
sensation, and we are impatient to learn the effect it Will pro-
duce in the provinces.
JUNE s.—The Gazette of Aranjuei contains a notice from
the Supreme Council of War, that the drawing by lot of 36,000
men having been published by the Royal Orders of the 15th
and 19th of April last, the Council, to prevent the excesses
which have often been committed on such occasions, commands
the Royal Orders of the oth of February, 1796, and 9th of
June; 1819, to be circulated, which relate to those who, to avoid
serving, ,voluntarily maim themselves. The punishn-,,nt of
these persons is the galleys. Among the exiled members of
.the Apostolic Junta are Colonel Ca►iiaro and Father Cyrille..
It is reported that General Capape, who had escaped, has beer,
retaken, and shot by the French. The partisans of the Apos-
tolic Junta have given themselves the name of Antarillos (the
Yellows).
Ju NE 6.—The Dierio contains the following official paper :___.
•" Long experience has shewn that one of the causes which
has the most contributed to impunity of crime is seduction ; by
it the escape of the greatest criminals has been facilitated. In
order to prevent the repetition of an abuse which has been so
long tolerated, and the consequences of which are so fatal, his
Majesty has just ordered—
" 1. That in the prison or place in which there are indivi-
duals accused of conspiracy, or others who not being included
in the amnesty are placed under the authority of the law, there
shall be a guard commanded by an officer.
"2. That if persons who are under prosecution are in a
place where there are no regular troops or Royal volunteers,
they shall be removed for greater security to a place where there
are troops.

.. 3. Not' only the Commander of those guards but the
gaolers of the prisons are-personally responsible for the persons
confided to their
c-tre. whose flight will be considered with re-
spect to the former
.'
as
participators in the crime, and they
shall be immediately
arrFsted, and tried and punished in thesame manner asitbrecrimin aYs themselves. The number of
Corregidors of i\adid is

chosen from such as have N

:::rstitutions.
