SPAIN.'

[From the Universal of the:2olh of Febriary..l
e have seen a copy of a decree of his Ma-
jesty, given on the evening of this day, and con-
firmed by the Minister of the Treasury, in which
is stated the dismissal of the other six Ministers.
We are assured that Senor Egea reiterated in the
sequel the resignation which he had given in ;
and that the Ministers had next morning agreed
not to refuse to sign the same decree, in order that it
might not at any time be said that they wished
to force the King to keep them in their situations.
The knowledge of this fact spread with rapidity
throughout the capital, and produced, even in
the most peaceable men, an alarm whiCh it is not
easy to describe. The constitutional bodies were
assembled, find took measures necessary to
.pre-
vent liberty from being endangered, and public
tranquillity from being disturbed. 'lt is now
eleven at night, and an immense crowd is running
through the streets, attracted by curiosity, or
agitated by fear. Such are the :Aessings,procured
for us by those perfidious counsellors who induced
the King to take such steps. Spaniards, the Con-
stitution grants prerogatives to the King; but at the
same time it invests you with rights. The greater the
danger, the greater should be your constancy, and
the greater will be the glory you will acquire in
the eyes of all Europe, if you succeed in surmount-
ing it. Spaniards, be united, and prove again
to your enemies, that intrigues like these serve
only the more to unite you ; and that our pro.
deuce is sufficient to preserve us from all the
precipices down whiet they endeavoured to
throw us.

[From the Universal of the 21st of February.)
Though there were yesterday some retnains of
the agitation which prevailed, during the pre.
ceding night, we can state that public tranquil.,
lity was in no way disturbed. All judicious men,
all who have good intentions, are convinced of
the zeal and enlightened patriotism of the per-
manent deputation, and of the prudence of the
Ministers %rho have again put themselves at the
head of affairs, and, they rest tranquil in the full.
confidence that no plot which our enemies may
form can find the Government, unprepared.
The Ayuntamiento has this day published the',
following proclamation
" People of Madrid,—.The Constitutional Ayttlitamiento
having, ut► so many occasions, witnessed your firm attachment.
to the Fundamental Code of the monarchy, would not do you
justice if it for a moment doubted the magnanimity of your
sentiments, or that obedience to the laws and respect for the
constituted authorities is your motto. The heroic people of
Madrid, who have given so many and such repeated proofs
of their courage, certainly merit that the Constitutional Ayuti-
tamiento should rely upon them with the most entire con.
ti deuce.

Of one thing only itis necessary to warn you, and that is,
that you do not give ear to the suggestions of the enemies of:
your liberty, who, disguised under the mask of pure and zealous
patriotism, seek to abuse your confidence, in order that they
may succeed in, their iniquitous schemes,,and plitnge you into
an abyss of misfortunes.
" FRANCISCO FERNANDEZ DE .IBERA.
" Madrid, Feb. 20."

When we yesterday stated that the Secre.
Aeries of Dispatch had resigned, .we were misin-
formed, since it appears that his Majesty speaks
merely of relieving them from a burden. We
regret to have to recur to this very disagreeable
fakir, but we are impelled to it by our love of
truth, and' our wich that .the nation should not
trttribute to the Ministers, weakness which would
be unpardonable under existing circumstances,
and in contradiction with the patriotism which
they have manifested in returning to occupy the
seats they had left.
There are several dispatches from the Conde
del A bishal, describing his pursuit of time insur-
gent bands. The last dispatch is dated Awoke,
Feb. 18. It states that the factious had divided,
one part under Bessleres flying towards Siguenza,
and the other, under Ulman, towards Monreal.
There were about 1400 with the former, and
1000 with the latter. Both parties were actively
pursued. ilessieres at first appeared to intend
to- fortify himself in Siguenza, but on the ap,
proaeb of the Constitutional troops he fled towards
Alienza.

At halfliast 10 o'clock last night, the Muoici.

At this very moment, I inform Evaristo Sin Miguel, Don

(Signed) " 'MARIANO 41013 A."
The Municipality immediately published the notice.
The following letter front Madrid, which sp-
.
pear,s in the Journal de Paris of Saturday, con.
tains -some curious additional particulars of the
events of the 2,oth and erst tilt.
MADRID, FED. 2l,(Pr•ivule. Letler.)--The
following is the explanation of • what you may
have seen in the journals on the subject of the
Ministry:—
" The parties were in piesence. The Freemasons and the
Conununeros had fur some days been carrying on a brisk war.
The former wished to preserve the Ministry, the latter wanted
a Ministry composed of patriots selected from all classes.
Each party laboured at its object with equal ardour. On
the 18th, the Ministers' began to Make preparations for re.,
moving, in pursuance of the 'authotity of the COMA.--:.
This premature Measure greatly displeased the Inhabitants
of Madrid. On the lgth in the morning, the Ministers
waited on. the King, and informed him that it was necessary

his 'Majesty Should make preparations for his departure.'
The King replied that'be would not leave the capital, except in
the case of the eneniv'approaching it. The Ministers replied that
his Alajesty would-be compelled to go to the plate on which
the Coney should determine. The King; being irritated; drove
theta from his presence, and immediately signed the decreefor '
their dismissal. All the lodges were instantly in motion ; there
was hastily organizeda kind of image of a revolution, in which
about 2do persons, at most, took part. The authorities, who
.are sold to the present Illioistry„'reinained passive. The riotous
populace surrounded • the Palace,. and set up dreadful cries
against the King. However; the company of national militia,
Counnuneros, which was= guard, dispersed the mob, and
saved- the King's life. One of the dis Missed Ministers, who
had remained in the Palace' • repaired to the King's chamber,
and, giving. to the facts that colour which suited him, extorted
from his Majesty a decree by whiCh he replaced the Ministers
ad interim. Al] this passed at ten in the evening, without the
great majority .of the inhabitants of Madrid having the least
knowledge of the transactions.
" Next day every thing was tranquil. Nevertheless,' the
words ad interim distressed the, ministerial party very much.
It was necessary to show oft'somethingnew, but it was wished
to give to this affair a moresolemn character. Two worni.:eateri
tables were laid out in the Plaza Illnyor, and three or four ve-
rierables of the lodges invited all who passed by to sign a re-
presentation in which the Cortege were. called 'upon to appoint a
Regency. This intrigue was soon defeated by the but-ends of'
the militia muskets. We now enjoy the most profound tran-
quillity. The Ministers see that their triumph can only be
ephemeral. The Council of State and the permanent Depute-
non are constantly assembled. The respectable citizens who
were alarmed at the late crisis now blush at having yielded
to a few miserable wretches, and are shaking off their lethargy.
Finally, it is believed that the commentement of next month
yin be the epoch of an active anti efficacious co-operation be-
tween the Legislative Body and a new Ministry, which the
friends of the countrreall for, end which the preservation of
liberte

corps, which have always formed the bulwark of our inde-

occupy the.pests which circumstances may render it necessary
to assign to them..

it .to our impartiality to state, that these events; which will be
presented under more than one point of view are here related
by a perion opposed to the present Spanish Alinistry.' "
.-The Journal du Commerce states, that at Cadiz,
Alicant, Carthagena, and Corunna, privateers
are in readiness to set sail,. but that they will not
receive orders to do so till the French have set
foot in the Peninsutii: •_

.[Prom the Mayo Diarie of Madrid.]
cc MAnato, FEB. l .—Oh, heroic people of
111adrid ! how many admirable proofs of wisdom and patriot-
ism have you not evincedl how many times have you saved
the country ! - The night of the 19th February is immortalized
in Spanish history.• On that night you broke the chains that
had been forged for. enslaving the nation. You drew the King
front the precipice ; you dellvered him from the snares which
*his perfidious .eouuSellors laid for him fi,)alty, you have crown-
ed the work of regeneration, by proving to our enemies, that if
the Spanish people hay.:t power,:they also have foresight—that
if they can recover their freedoin, they also know how to avoid
the evils by which they are threatened—that their giury consists
in obeying the laws, preserving order, and respecting the boun-
daries which reason and - justice set against the impetus of
patriotism.

"Our enemies-will not now say that the Government is main.
tained by the efforts of a faction : the whole Cortes approves of
the. Ministry. Can the Legislative Body, which represents the
Spanish nation, be denominated a action ? certainly not. A
whole nation is not a party ; it is the general will, and the conduct
' of the Ministry being approved by the Conesit is approved by
the whole nation. Heroic people of .Spain,, do not vacillate ;
you now see the plan of ybur enendei. Be convinced that the
dismissal of ti Ministry which is levying such a superior force
to resist tyrants and to presorve.our liberties, can, under present
circumstances, have no other view than to frustrate their plans,
disorganize the country, and place its *tale disposal of the Duke
d'Angouleme. But on what occ&Sionitaveyou ever been sepa-
rated from the ;Ministers ? Whenever such a separation has
taken place--as, fbr example, at titv closing of the Legisla-
ture—yoir have always suffered severe misfortunes; for
your enemies wall knew that you ,• were deprived of the
pilot whO might save you from shipwreck—namely, the na-
tional representation. But never was there a moment so criti.
cal as the present. The Ministry have arranged many plans
tbr frustrating the designs of the Holy Alliance. In dissolv.
ing,the Ministry, there is great risk of obstructing our various
channels of defence. At the present moment, it is found ne-
cessary to overturn the Ministry, in order to facilitate the en.
trance of the French into Spain, and to enable them to reach the
capital without obsturction. Perhaps the dismissal of Aline,
A bisbal, Ballasteros, and the other brave men whom the
present Ministry has placed at the 'head of our herok troops,
Is already determined on. Oh ! heroic people of • Spain,
you have triumphed over your enemies! For sonic days'
past, infamous public papers and an mlibUs tribune have
been preparing this catastrophe. Observe ' that Bessi4es
made a counter-march in order to approach the capital; but
his vagabond followers were cat 'to pieces by our valiant
troops. Observe, that from the Escurial of Madrid, and from
other points in the vicinity of the capital, a new band of fee-
tious has arisen at the very critical moment when thoughts
are entertained of removing a Ministry which has boldly op.
posed the iniquitioua views of the Holy Alliance. You See the
concurrence and connexion of all these circumstances. You
thus see unmasked all the designs of your enemies; but your
patriotism and the incomparable national militia have triumph.
ed over all. Observe, likewise, the two last numberi of the
Zurriago, in which was unfolded the plan of the 19th,; and
as an additional proof, for tour days previously, the editors de-
manded their passports for ,Estreinadura, not, as it is presum-
ed with the 'design of proceeding to that province, but to
shield them from the suspicion that would have been excited
by their sudden departure from 'llladrid, fearing your revenge
in case of the failure of their plan. You remember, too, that
one of them concealed himself in order to pentode his Col.
leagues that he had been assassinated by order of the Ministry.
What was the object of this deception ? I leave It to your pe-
netration to discover.
" Spaniards, lovers of . your country and your liberty, let us
be united, and you shall triumph. Let us'form a close alliance
among ourselves, and we sh be invincibl4, Our wise Cortes
in the approaching session will take means, without in any
degree curtailing the political liberty of the press, to prevent
those scandalous personal attacks which have cast a stain on
our glorious revolution."

°PROCEEDINGS 01' TIIE CORTES.
MAARID, FEN; • 1 7.—The Cortes proceeded to
the consideration of the Report of the Special
Committee of Amnesty, the Members of which,
on the view of the proposition of the Govern.
merit, were of opinion that it should be acceded
to in the terms expressed in the fallowing article
" Artiele.—The Cortes grant amnesty to all the factieus,
their chiefs, or leaders, V/110, having arms in their hands, shall
lay them down, and preF•nt themselves to any civil or military
authority before the Ist of April wit, in order that they May
return to the bosom of their families, where they shall be in
no manner molested for having borne arms against the nation ;
the Government being authorized to employ such of them as
wish to engage in the war against the enemies of the country,
in whatever kind of service may be thought proper."
Senor Adair did not object to the report in substance, though
it was not entirely conformable to the proposition °Me • Go-
vernment. The wish expressed by the Government was, to be
authorised to receive propositions from the factious, and to
act according to 6.olll)4am:ea and public convenience ; but
the Committee has restrained the Government to one particular
form—that is to say, to granting amnesty to those who have
borne arms against the country. 'There are many others who
have net confined themselves to this crime, but the government,
being authorized only to
pardon one particular offence, cannot
the others. Thus the wished-far object cannot be obtained—
Dessieres, for instance,
efaa-paidoned fora- capital offence at
Barcelona, add his punishment was changed to perpetual ha..
literal spirit of the article, only, be pardoned for having takio
nishment. If he accept the amnesty, he will, according to the
Up arms against the Constitution. lie therefore wished the
amnesty to be rendered more ample. •
Senor Arguelleioliserved, that theCommittee,inateactof limit.

ing the powers asked by the Government, had extended them.
Full latitude was given to the term amnesty, which the Go-
vernment had suggested, and the Committee bad adopted.
The .object of the Measure- Was •to unite the minds of all
Spaniards. It was notorious that discord did exist, and that a
considerable number of Spaniards had taken part in it. The
termination of 411. civil discords was an amnesty. -That divine
invention, if he might so name it, had arisen among the Greeks,
was followed by the Romans, and has been often imitated by
modern nations. It would perhaps be said, that this measure,
to a certain extent, protects and encourages crimes; but when
illusions are carried so far as to produce civil discord; it is no.
cessary that parental authority should adopt a course calculated
to stein its progress. It is said that the article does not refer to
anterior offences ; but that was unnecessary, because a nation
'which has the generosity to pardon the most atrocious offence
which can be committed against it, will not noticethoee of an
inferiormature. This amnesty, too, presents a triumphant an-
swer to those who accuse us of being a sanguinary faction. He
considered himself happy in rising to speak in support of the
amnesty on this account--that he had no relation or friend in
the tanks•of the factions. It was not, theretbre' in consequence
of any interest of that kind he spoke; he ielt for one far
greater—the interest of his country.
Senor Macau thought that it would be better to frame the
decree in the manner proposed by the Govermnent.
The Secretary of Grace and Justice and Senor Galiano spoke
in support of the Report of the Committee.
Senor Septiem—The amnesty is proposed to be granted to
bands of factious, protected by a foreign Government, and in-
stigated by the clergy ; but eighty out of the hundred of these
facaious are persons who have been guilty of the most atrocious
critets, committed before the revolution, and do not deserve to
be pardoned. If pardoned with respect to the State, they ought
to remain accountable for the injuries done to third persons.
It should not be forgotten, that by pardoning four or five thou-
sand rebels, forty thousand patriots might be alarmed. Thus
the amnesty might give birth to more fatal discords than those
which it is expected to suppress. The factious, on returning
to hie village, will perhaps reside next door to the citizen on
whom he has committed aggressions. Will the latter look tran-
quilly on at the impunity given to his enemy ? The speaker
afterwards said, that he would have approved of the Report of
the .Committee, had it empowered the Government to rexive
propositions from a band which wished to capitulate, but he
could not give his support to the general pardon.
Senor Arguelles observed, that had the Committee proposed
what the last speaker had suggested, it would have been no-
thing leis than leaving it to the option of a chief, commanding
three or four thousand factious to enter into negotiations for.
himself, and not for others : this was precisely what the Com-
mittee wished to avoid, by proposing an amnesty which would
be common to all.

Senor Soria spoke in favour of the Report of the Committee,
which was then declared to be sufficiently discussed, and was
adopted.

SITTING OF FEBRUARY 16

The followitlg proposition, which had been submitted by
Senores Salve, Reillo, Salvato, &c., was now read :—" As the
extraordinary powers granted to the Government terminate to.
morrow, though not their of and as thelimits which should
be given to the last grant of power for conferring commissions
or appointments on Councillors of State is not specified, we re-
quest that it may also cease from this day forward.
Senor Buez opposed the proposition, observing, that as cir-
cumstances had not varied since the authority was given by the
Cortes to the Government, he saw no reason tor withdrawing it.
Senor Soria.—The authority granted to the Government to
employ Councillors of State, though very convenient for the
public service at'the moment it was granted, lieu become very
prejudicial on the Cortes being
.dissolved. It might then be
abused by putting other persona in the offices occupied by the
present Minititers. I wish that the whole nation should under-
stand the circumspection with which we are acting on this sub-
ject. I support the proposition.
Senor Falco.—The Cortes cannot have forgotten the
i power-
ful motives which induced them to grant the authority n ques-
tion to the Goverment; and I would ask whether circumstances
have since, in any way, diminished the force of those motives.
—On the contrary, I conceive that we are on the eve of a
great crisis, and consequently that the authority granted to
the Government should be continued, in order that every per-
son capable of serving the public cause may, if necessary be
employed.
Senor Salva—When it was first proposed to the Government
that Gen. Bellasteros should be qualified for assuming a midi.
tary command, Senor Argitelles suggested that it would be
more proper to grant the authority for employing Councillors of
State in general terms, than to limit it to the employment of
that General • and, having opposed this suggestion, it was re.
plied to me diet the matter in question was merely a personal
dispensation, and not a repeal of the law : there is, corm-
.quently, nothing inconsistent in the Cortes saying that the au-
thority shall now cease. ,
Senor Alunarriz was against the proposition.
Senor Ferrer (Don •Joaquin.)—The Deputies who oppose the
proposition say that circumstances have not changed' since the
authority was given to the Government, but this they have
not proved, and I, on the contrary, think they have changed
much. Are they ignorant that there exist the germs of conspiracy
which it has not yet been able to extirpate ? Since the year
1820, it has constantly been observed, that at the conclusion of
every Session some symptom of conspiruoy has appeared. Is
there any Deputy who has not, within these few days, seen se-
ditious proclamations and incendiary papers, which have for
their object to damp the zeal of the citizens, and to cause di-
visions among them ? Can they be ignorant of the talk of a
change of Ministry ? Can it be doubted, that if this change should take place, and other persons less patriotic should oc-
cupy the places of the present Ministers, that the authority in
question might be greatly abused ? There are communtca-
non* from Paris, Gentlemen, which assure us that we have
nothing to fear from the foreign bayonets, but every thing from
the void which is marching hither for the purpose of corruption,
and exciting new conspiracies. Besides, it is neceesary to re-
collect, that what is now proposed is only that this authority
should cease in the interval between the dissolution of the Ex.
traordinary Cortes, and the opening of the ordinary Legislature.
When the Ordinary Cones meet, the Government will apply to
them for the power, if it be necessary.
The subject was declared sufficiently discussed ; but Senor
Arguelles proposed the following addition The appoint.
merits which the Government has for various commissions being
allowed to subsist."
The Resolution thus amended was adopted.

SITTING or FEBRUARY 19.
The Secretary for the Home Department handed the President
a sealed dispatch, containing the King'sf speech for the closing
of the Session of the Extraordinary Cortes.
'Having opened it, the Secretary read his Majesty's speech,
which was as ft:MOWS 3
" Senores Deptities,—On closing this extraordinary session,
I take pleasure in expressing my satisfaction and gratitude for
the decision, disinterestedness, and patriotism, which have
marked your proceedings.
" It has been necessary to make some sacrifices of men and
money to remedy the evils of the State ; and the salutary effects
which it is hoped these sacrifices would produce,
_correspond
with the einctual manner in which they were conceded. The fac-
tious, who meditated the overthrow of the fundamental law of
the State, are retreating before the valour of the national troops.
That junta of perjured men, styling themselves the Spanish
Regency, has disappeared like a cloud of mist ; and the rebels,
who counted on triumphs so easy and secure, now begin to feel
the sad result of their disorders.
" The troops who so gloriously support the national cause
are worthy of all praise. Among the rewards which victory
has secured to them, they must experience no small satisfaction
in seeing that the Extraordinary Cortes has been occupied in
granting them a system of regulations analogious to the funds.:
mental code by which we are governed. This measure, which
is already considerably advanced, is to them a certain guaran-
tee that the civil and military laws will speedily be placed on
a footing of harmony, and that there will be an end to that
pnilict between them which gives rise to so much dissatisfac-
tion and discord.
" Other measures, equally useful, have distinguished this
extraordinary session. The regulation of the police, the law
for recruiting, the powers granted to my Government, with the
view of consolidating the constitutional system, and some other
points which have come under the consideration of the Cortes
during this period, attest the assiduity and the finnnesit with
which the representatives of the people repay the confidence of
their constituents.
" Some of the days of this Session will be celebrated by the
pure patriotism which they Have presented. On those days
have been decreed recompences to those whose conduct on the
7th of July entitled them to the gratitude:of their country, and
on those days the principal chiefs who figured in that memorable
event have appeared at the bar. The sittings of the 9th and
lth of January are distinguished above all the rest, and will
form the chief splendour of these extraordinary C,ones. The
voice of national honour. resounded in the atiblimest manner
in the sanctuary of the laws, and every Spaniard was pepetrat-
ed with the conviction that nothing can equal the happiness of
possessing a country.
" Some diplomatic relations have been interrupted during
the sittings of these Cortes ; but these misunderstandings be-
tween cabinet and cabinet have increased the moral force of the
nation in the eyes of the civilized world,where houour, probity,
and justice are professed. On seeing that Spain does not capi-
tulate her degradation, a just idea will Ise formed of the
firmness of her character, and of, the happy infittertee of their_stitutions by which she is &rov erned.
The King of France has declared to the two Chambers of
the legislative body his intentions with respect to Spain. Mine
are already public, and are avowed in the 11103 t solemn Ulan-

ner. Valour, decision, cor.stancy, love of national inilepe
dente, and the increased conviction of the necessity tiptoe:
ing the national code of 1812—these arc the vigorect answe
which the nation must give to the anti.social principles expre4
ed in the speech of the most Christian Monarch. •
" The circumstances in which the public affairs are place
are of a serious character ; but there is no occasion to Le apr
p
hensive for my Government or for the Cortes. My firm al
constant union with the Deputies of the nation will helle secu
