aile so little importance has been attached to the regis-
Jr% and documents found in their lodges and secret associa-
rig—while, in spite of the almost infinite number of this sect
71Spain, we are still without any other law for their punish-
"lent than the penalties enacted in the decree of Ferdinand VI.,
aq the 2d of July, 1751 ? But further, these men who corn-
aimed so many wrongs against your Majesty and the nation,
pot
_ satisfied with the manner in which they are treated and to-
a=ed, have dared more than once to take some oaths with
„LT
arrogance which is peculiar to them, and have insulted those
full of zeal for your Majesty, make a pride of having
kleas different from theirs.
They cease not to give indications of their hopes of a new
humphuse and already they begin to celebrate that triumph over
ruins of the volunteer corps, which they think reduced to
t'''"liing in consequence of the regulation to which they have
subjected. And truly they have some grounds for forming
ideas, for the union of high qualities which are required
"achnission into this corps, as well as for those who already
renPose it—the fortune and property which they must enjoy—
great number of duties which are imposed upon them, and
"wive all the limit placed to their number—all these measures
appear to be designed for the destruction of this corps, or at any
44= for its reduction to a force totally insufficient.
n," Things being in this state, on what force can your Majesty
'‘,7 for making head against the Constitutionalists, and ere-
if need be, malcontents and sworn enemies ? is this
the remains of the Constitutional army, dispersed over the
'cook of the Peninsula, and still preserving its arms to the last
Ztrenaity ? Is it composed of those columns who now enter
Pain; and who preferred being made prisoners of war to the
',2aring of fidelity to our Majesty ? Will it be composed
It' the militia and the otheyr instruments of ruin to your Majesty,
our country, to your subjects, and all their dearest rights ?
Sire, forget not the past, and do not believe, as has been
tiNnpted to 'persuade your majesty, that certain men will no
sager be what they were in the year 1820. They were, in
), what they were in 1814, and what they will always be. All
these reasons which experience has brought within the reach of
en the least clear-sighted, will decide good Spaniards who
rnloge the altar and the throne, to unite is defence of their rights
liy taking the title of Royalist Volunteers ; for this is the only
mere in which your Majesty can now rely, both from their
sentiments of honour, and the manner in which they have been
innpromised. It is expedient, then, instead of taking an op-
Po3ite course, to labour for the organization and incsease of this
rrfs, as far as this is compatible with the object and the con-
`met of individuals, without omitting any of the means proper
for this purpose, and in making use of all the reports furnished
to the Government whose interests should not suffer any injury.
" What wonder is there that the people should become dis-
trnstful when the calculation of evils being within the reach of
fiery body, no one can penetrate the mysterious secret of ad-
'rtimages ? This general opinion being taken in a contrary
sense, is of such an irresistible force, as was seen in the last
struggle for independence, that it would be rash to act
against it.
" Although it would be of great interest for your Majesty,
.1_ leave you to proceed in your natural sense, there will not
r wanting those who will think in a different manner;—
„"(.it, Sire, should this sentiment triumph over that of so
:"`LinY zealous prelates, of so many corporations, of so many
individuals who openly affirm the contrary, but, above all,
over the profound conviction of reason ? Your Majesty is
surrounded with enemies full of sagacity, constant, united, and
:forking on well-concerted plans. Your Majesty has no other
force to oppose to them but the majority of the nation con-
centrated in the corps of Royalist Volunteers. Is it then pro-
ter to destroy them, and to remain at the mercy of the enemy ?
The Council would never finish its representation if it fully
developed what it has to say ; but its wish is not to afflict the
heart of your Majesty by expressions little flattering to your
situation, while it believes that what it has pointed out is suffi-
cient to warrant a hope that the wisdom of your Majesty will
apply the remedy which the nation desires to the evils which it
°Wets, and to those still greater evils which are concealed in
its boom.
" The Council has spoken to your Majesty with the greatest
'rankness, because such is its duty ; but still more, because its
fate being identified with that of your Majesty and your rights,
malevolence cannot suspect its intentions.
" May Heaven enlighten your Majesty, by inspiring you
pith such wisdom in your determinations, that you may render
the memory of your reign eternal in the prosperity of your
People and the gratitude of your subjects. Such are the wishes
'which the Council submits to the sovereign resolution of your
ll;iesty."

We have received the Allgemeine Zeilung of the
24 inst., the Oesterreischer Beobuchter of the 27th
nit.,.t and other German Papers. They contain
i
tie Or importance' except the prices of the
various Stocks. At Vienna on the 26th of May,
the Five per Cent. Stock was at 960 ; Bank
Actions per piece 1165 c. m.—The Exchange on
Augsburg for 100 guilders current 97-h- uso. At
Frankfort on the 29th May, Austrian Metal-
liques were 98. On the 19th May the EMPEROR
'wrote a letter of condolence, in his own hand, to
the widow of the late Count STADION, the
Finance Minister. The Archduke FRANCIS
CaII:LES was received with great rejoicings on
the onst at Saltzburg, and on the 30th at Munich.

Both Houses of Parliament re-assembled yes-
terday. Mr. Secretary CANNING laid upon the
table of the House of Commons the official copy
of the late Treaty between his BLIITANNIC MA-
') XSTT and the King of the NETucitLANDs, which
appeared in this Paper about a fortnight ago.—
Mr. Secretary PEEL'S observations on the motion
of Mr. HustE, on the subject of convictions and
executions, will be found highly satisfactory.

We regret much to hear, that in consequence
of a cold caught at Epsom Races, Mrs. MERCAN-
-1)OTTI BALI, has been dangerously indisposed
with inflammatory sore throat. Just before
Putting our Paper to press, a report has reached
us that this interesting Lady has fallen a victim
to the disorder. We sincerely hope that the
rumour is untrue.

The (Dublin) Star, a very spirited, loyal and
Protestant Paper, on the 7th inst. contained a
very ludicrous parody on a grand entertainment
which had recently been given in Dublin to Mr.
O'DONNELL, the great Champion of Popery in
that city. The account was ornamented with
many illustrative wood-cuts, admirably executed.
But it is usual with that Paper to give humorous
wood-cuts on particular occasions, and if they
were the work of an Irish artist, they shew great
improvement in the arts of that country, and,
indeed, well deserve to be published in a col-
lected form.
Miss MACAULEY, whose talents in composi-
tion, as well as recitation, are well known to the
Public, has presented an Appeal to the Ma-
nagers of both the winter Theatres, requesting to
be permitted to perform for three or four nights,
in order to obtain the fair decision of the public
as to her merits as an Actress. The appeal has
been unsuccessful, and we think injudiciously so,
as her appearance would certainly attract atten-
tion, and, in our opinion, really be attended with
public approbation.
The late Mr. OXBERRY was born in London,
in the year 1784, and was intended by his father,
a respectable tradesman in the parish of Luke's,
to be an artist; but after being some time with
Mr. STUBBS, and afterwards two years and a half
in a bookseller's shop, he became acquainted
with a company who played at a private theatre,
whom he joined. His first appearance on the
London boards was at Covent-Garden Theatre,
November 7, 1807, and from that time •he be-
Caine a favourite in the metropolis.
