DECREE VII.

Looking at the present condition of the finances,
and the necessity of consolidating definitively the
credit of the country, it is proposed to decree as
follows :

Art. 1. The whole of the Spanish debt, of which men-
tion is made in the preceding decrees, shall be reduced
proportionally, and according to its assigned price one-
third—those debts which are provided for by diplomatic
treaties always excepted.
Art. 2. The other two-thirds of the debts to be con-
verted into a deferred stock of 100 parts, of which one part
shall be drawn yearly for a hundred consecutive years, and
the winner to receive 3 per cent. upon his claim ! !
Art. 3. The whole of the Spanish debt shall be called,
without exception, the national debt, and shall be entitled
to receive a uniform interest of 3 per cent., to be paid
fractionally every four months.
Art. 4. There shall be created a sinking fund of 1 per
cent. upon the whole.
Art. J. This decree to repeal all former ones upon this
subject.
The Government is becoming unpopular. There is
a general complaint that the Queen has been sur-
rounded by creatures of the Ministers. Thus General
Quiroga, upon his return from so long an exile, and so
much suffering, has been allowed to remain eight days
at Aranjuez, without seeing her Majesty, and at last
he returned to Madrid in entire disgust. Several
other refugees of rank have been exposed to the same
slights.
A report has been prevalent here for some days
that the Curate Merino had been taken by Colonel
Albuen, who has been known to be long in pursuit of
him, and shot, but it is not generally credited.
The Russian Ambassador has at last quitted Madrid,
and at this moment there is not a single representative
of any one of the Holy Alliance Courts in this capital.
From a calculation which has been made, it would
appear that the reduction of Evora, in Portugal, cost
this country eight millions of reals, and the campaign
generally upwards of twelve millions. "It is, however,
generally considered as money well bestowed.
The troops of Rodil are already on their march to
suppress the insurrection in the northern provinces.
It seems certain that this General is to succeed Rue-
sada, who will be made a Procer or Peer.
BAYONNE, JUNE 11.—It is stated with confidence
that before the 15th instant there will be an accession
of 8,000 men from Portugal to the Queen's forces in
the north. The insurgents cannot long stand against
such numbers. The Junta of Navarre is now sitting
at Elisondo.

M. San Miguel, Minister for Foreign Affairs in
1823, has arrived at Madrid. A Te Deron, was
chaunted upon hearing of the amnesty granted by
Don Pedro. The factious in Castile are much dispi-
rited by the downfall of Don Carlos, but they do not
yet give up their hopes. The priests exert themselves
to keep up the spirits of their party as much as ever.
Events of importance may be expected.

square, on Tuesday, the 17th inst., by the Rev. David

DEATH 'OF DOCTOR DOYLE—We have
received intelligence of the death of the Right Rev.
Dr. Doyle. He departed this life yesterday at his
residence, Carlow. The death of this great and good
man has been long anticipated, though some hopes
were entertained that upon the appointment of a coad-
jutor he might have discharged from his mind the im-
portant duties of his station, and have removed to a
more congenial climate, but it pleased God to will it
otherwise, and he has departed, leaving few men his
equals in eminent talents, or true Christian philan-
thropy. —Dublin Mercantile Advertiser.

A rich tanner has just died in Paris, leaving
a will, by which he imposes on his heirs the obligation
to bury him in a well-tanned hide, with the tools be-
longing to his trade. He also requires that a monu-
ment should be erected to his memory in the centre of
his establishment, in order that he may be in the midst
of his workmen even after death.

Whilst the magistrates of Hertford were
sitting in Petty SessiOns the other day, they were in-
formed that a young man intended to offer his wife for
sale in the public market. By order of the magis-
trates, the town-clerk and constables repaired to the
spot, in order to apprehend the parties. A crowd had
assembled to witness the sale, but the husband was
not forthcoming at the time appointed ; and on the
taepnpdeeadr anc
purchaser,e of f the
wahuotmh o rsiht iee s
h,
at hde h
efarisr -
en-
deavoured to make off. They were, however, stopped
by the constables, and taken before the bench, where
the lady evinced some symptoms of fainting. She
had somewhat of a delicate appearance, but her in-
tended purchaser, a man of the name of Henry Har-
rison, possessed a person of Herculean strength. The
husband shortly made his appearance, and announced
his intention of selling the woman if he could find a
purchaser, and as he was anxious to get rid of her he
should not ask much, but would knock her down to
anybody for half-a-crown. He was cautioned by the
magistrates, and told that he was committing a breach
of the peace, but he still persisted in his intention of
putting up the lady for sale. He stated that his name
was George Falkner, that he was a rag and bone
merchant living at Westwick-row, that he married the
woman about four years ago, and had left her nearly
three years. He had always found her a bad bargain,
and had therefore come to the market for the express
purpose of selling her, which he was determined to do,
for half-a-crown, if anybody would buy her. The
bench ordered him to enter into his own recognizance
of 9.0/., and one surety of 20/., to keep the peace till
the sessions, when he was liable to be indicted ; in
default of which he was committed to gaol. On the
parties leaving the Court-house, they were followed
by a number of persons, who hooted and pushed them
about until they were obliged to seek shelter in a
house. The woman has been seriously ill from the
injuries received.
