LONDON,
SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1823.

However tardy may be the arrival of confir-
matory accounts of certain articles of early in'
telligence, which have been excldsively comma'
nicated to the Public from time to time through
the medium of this Paper, our Readers will see
that the truth of all our statements is gradually
established. In THE SHY of the 20th ult. we
announced, on the highest authority/
that accounts
had been received from Madrid of the Minis"
having appropriated to the public service the
Cussu del Credit° Public°, although the Cortes
had on a previous occasion nobly resisted Pr"
position for resorting to that violent measure'i
On the following day, (the '2lst), we announce(
that the dispatches received by Government flora
Lord FITZROY SOMERSET confirmed the seizuro
of the Cass°, and that when the last accounts left
Madrid, the Ministers bad prepared a list Of I'6r'
sons who were thought capable of contributing

dlatoerdntm'n Morning Herald of
17th this dayv nI
to a forced loan.

" In addition to other extraordinary measures which the 6?-
adridti se
t.,,hiccohsanyinss
vernment has adopted to procure funds sufficient to enable them
to effect the removal of the Government to Seville, it is under;
stood that they have recently resorted to ways and mean'°
a vigorous character, which, if executed by private indiv:
duals, would have been called robbery. 'They have seized
all the deposits of money which were in the Credito pubbcyr
pledging the Treasury of course to refund the amount'
Those who understand the state of the Spanish finances gear:
to suspect that this pledge is not worth five per cent. This is, I
fact, adopting upon their own responsibility an important part
of the measure which they lately submitted to Cortes for uni
ing all the effects and p p
property in the hands of the Credit°
Public° available to the exigencies of the State--a uleasure
which the Cortes scouted—in public debate—but which the
party that governs that body, as well as the Ministry, must have
since sanctioned,
if not suggested, to the extent to which it has

been carried into effect.
" But this is not all--there is a society of sheep-ewnera.,eite.
blighted in Madrid whose interests are managed by I'.
mittee for the general benefit. The flocks are sent every Year
to pasture in Estremadura, anti when the season comes they
are removed to the neighbourhood of Segovia,
lad shorn.--
This society is called the Mesta, which literally meant) aeocl
beta
ra
of regulations for the government of agricultural Pero
transactions. The Mesta had a deposit with hs ba
of about one hundred thousand dollars, and within the°
three days, fiasco, the Minister of the Interior, sent an
order to the Bankers to deliver this deposit to Ofieera'
whom he named, upon the faith that the whole amountl4
gether with the interest, shculd be paid by the Treasury. 11%
chest in which the money was deposited had three Jocks, saw
only one of the keys was in Madrid. The Minister ordered the
officers to bring away the chest itself, which a2cordinglY leas
done. There are several other deposits, which aro likely to
*

meet the same fate."
In a Second Edition of THE Su of the 2511)
ult., which was discredited and ridiculed by the
New Times and the Morning Chronicle, we
that dispatches had been received by. Govern
meet, and by the Austrian Ambassador, from
Vienna, containing news of vital importance
for the
re-
lative to the march of a Russian Army stated

French frontier.
The Morning Clironkle of this tiny says, in itl
leading article,
" At a time when it seems to be understood that the sacceOf
of the invasion of Spain will greatly depend on the extent
the
aid afforded by Russia, it becomott of importance to
know'

answer to this he would merely say, that if lie pleased he
might and could carry 150 tons of goods in the Lord Melville
to Calais to-morrow, instead of passengers.
Sir JOSEPH YORKE—What ! in the cabin ?
The CIIAIR3I/ix—No matter where, whether the freight was
live or dead stock, he could carry and procure that amount of
tonnage. He had once, indeed, carried a cargo of Admirals,
and found it to answer very well. As to the formation of a
smaller establishment, he--would submit that the books shopld
remain open for an eitended period of time, and when that
arrived, it would then become a consideration whether a suffi-
cient sum was raised whereupon to establish a CornpanY of
corresponding extent.
This being acceded to, the motion was put from
the Chair,
whether the books should remain open until the Ist of August
next, which was carried'; Sir -I OSEPII YOR=E being the only
'aissentient.

A second motion was then submitted and carried, relative to
the circulation of letters to the present subscribers, informing
them of its being optional with them to continue or withdraw
their names.
Thanks having been then voted to the Chairman, whore'
turned thanks, the Meeting adjourned.'
