ADDRESS TO LORD GREY.—The follow-
ing is the address to which the letter of Lord Grey,
which we published yesterday, was a reply :—" MY
Lord,—We have heard with deep concern that the

tirement from office. Impressed with the firmest con-
viction that the country is indebted to you for the suc-
cess of measures the most essential to the public
welfare, and assured that your resignation at this crisis
would produce consequences most injurious to the
place and prosperity of the community, we venture to
express to your Lordship our undiminished confidence
in the wisdom with which you have h6ld the reins
of governmont, and our unshaken attachment to
those principles which you have so efficiently and
consistently maintained. We desire, therefore, to con-
vey to you our anxious hope that you will not be in-
duced to retire from his Majesty's councils whilst you
can continue to preside over them as you have hitherto
done, with so much honour to yourself and so much
benefit to the country."

SPAIN.

NEW ELECTORAL LAW.

THE SPANISH CO RTES.-ROY AL DECREE.

Desiring to effect without delay the meeting of the Ge-
neral Cortes of the kingdom, conformably to the ancient
laws of -the Monarchy, and my will and intention being
that, in order to re-establish the salutary institution of the
Cortes, which was formerly the shield of the prerogatives
of the throne and the rights of the subjects, the elections of
the Procuradores of the kingdom should take place in the
most easy and expeditious manner, and that, deviating p
little as possible from the ancient practice, it should be
established on a basis more broad and equitable, I have or-
dained, in the name of my well-beloved daughter, Isabella
IL, and after having heard the advice of my council of
government and my council of ministers, that for this time
the said elections shall be made in the following manner:—.
1.-OF Tun ELECTORAL JUNTAS OF AIiRONDISSE-

MENTS (PARTIDES). •
Art. 1. On the •20th of June next an Electoral Junta
shall assemble in the chief town of each arrondissement.

2. For the approachinf, elections those shall be con-
sidered as chief towns whiel are designated as such in the,
kidicial division.
Tito said Electoral Junta shdllbir coraposell—first, of
all the persons who at present form the Municipal Council
of the chief town, including the Syndics and Deputies ;
secondly, of a number of the inhabitants of the town pay-
ing the largest amount of taxes equalling the number of
the members of the Municipality.
4. Three days at least before the meeting of the Electo-
ral Junta of Arrondissement, there shall be posted up at,
the door of the communal houses (casas consistorailes) a
list, signed by the president and secretary of the munici-
pality, in which shall be inscribed the names of the princi-
pal tax-payers who are qualified to form part of the Elec-
toral Junta.

5. On the day specified the members of the municipality
and the principal tax-payers shall meet at the place ap-
pointed, under the presidency of him who exercises the
same office in the municipality.
6. The president having read the royal letter of convo-
cation, the nomination of the electors who are to partici-
pa►e for the arrondissement in the Electoral Junta of the
province shall be proceeded with.
7. Each arrondissement, whatever may be its popula-
tion, shall nominate two electors.
6. Besides these two electors, when the chief town of
the arrondissement shall,have a population of 30,000 souls,
it shall nominate another, and so on progressively one elec-
tor for every further 20,000 souls.
9. The nomination of the electors of arrondissements
who are to form the Electoral Junta of the province shall
be made by ballot, and by an absolute majority of votes ;
when the vote shall be equally divided, the election shall
be decided by lot.
_ _

10. The following may be nominated electors :-1. The
Members of the Municipality of the chief town of the ar-
rondissement, including the Syndics and Deputies.-2.
The principal tax-payers who form a part of the Junta of
Arrondissement.-3. Every person having the following
qualifications : firstly, being born within these kingdoms,
or sons of Spanish parents ; secondly, having completed
ele age of 25 years; thirdly, having resided upwards" of
12 months in one of the communes of the province ;
fourthly, proving that he is the owner of an estate, either
in town or country, producing a revenue of 6,000 reals
(1,500 f. ), or a farmer paying a rent on lease equal to that
sum, or a farmer cultivating his own land, which he can
prove produces one-half of the above revenue. If a pro-
prietor has property, either in town or country, in diffe-
rent communes or provinces, the amount of their joint
revenue shall be taken in fixing his qualification as an
elector. So likewise shall it be with regard to a farmer
who rents lands under different leases, and with regard to
a farmer farming different parcels of his own land ; fifthly,
there may also be nominated as an elector every merchant
or trader paying a contribution to the commercial sub-
sidy at Madrid-, Barcelona, Seville, or Cadiz, to the
amount of 400 reals (100 f.) In the other capitals of
provinces, or in the ports appropriated to foreign com-
merce, of 300 reals (75f.), and in all the other com-
munes of the kingdom to the amount of '2OO reals
(50f.) ; sixthly, every manufacturer who pays 6,000
ft:f.as (11"500f.9 annual mit hiJ -.nf..•.t)%at.sry_ and
every manufacturer occupying his own pre;)ertv, and
proving that it would be let for 3,000 reals (75 )f. );hall be
qualified for an elector. For this time, every :lector shall
prove the possession of the competent revenue in the same
manner as the present decree directs with regard to the
proof to be given by the Procuradores of theirqualification
in this respect ; seventhly, every. person employed by the
State upon a royal nomination, in any commune, whose
salary amounts to 6,000 reals (1,500 f. ), shall also be qua-
lified as an elector ; eighthly, the following may also be
electors :-1. Advocates called to any of the bars of the
kingdom (Colegios). 2. The attorneys and notaries of
Chamber (Relatores y Escribanos de Camara). 3. The
Regents of the University (Cathedraticos) and the pro-
fessors of sciences by royal nomination. 4. The directors,
censors, and secretaries of the economical societies of the
friends of the country. 5. The directors, censors, and
secretaries of the royal academies. 6. The doctors having
votes in the royal academies of medicine and surgery.
11. The following are disqualified from being electors—

ment. 3. Those who have any physical and incurable in-
capacity. 4. Merchants and traders in a state of bank-
ruptcy, or who have suspended their payments. 5. Pro-
prietors whose property is mortgaged. 6. Debtors to the
Treasury.
12. The act of election cannot be interrupted under any
motive or pretence. Any doubts which may arise shall be
resolved by the Junta itself, according to a majority of
voices—reserving to those who may consider themselves
injured in their rights the faculty of appealing to the Elec-
toral Junta of the province.
13. If, from any cause whatever, an election cannot take
place on the day fixed by these presents, either in the
chief town of the arrondissement, or in the capital of the
rovince, it shall be postponed to the nearest day possible

list of the principal taxLpayers.

to each of the electors nominated by the arrondissement.
16. This certificate shall be signed by the same persons
who signed the general act of election.

CHAP* ll'-OF THE ELECTORAL JUNTAS OF THE

PROVINCE.

17. Each of the electors nominated in the arrondisse-
ments shall go to the capital of the provike on the day
appointed for the election of the members o? Cortes.
18. The election of the members is to take place on the
30th of June next.
19. Previously to the election, the electors of each ar-
rondissement will present themselves to the civil Governor
of the province, and he will take their names for the arron-
dissement.

20. On the day appointed for the election, the electors
shall assemble in some place provided by this solemn Act.
21. The civil Governor of the province, or whoever fills
the office, shall preside over the Electoral Junta, confining
his interference to the preservation of the laws, and the
maintenance of order and the security of the freedom of
election.

22. The President will open the Session at the hour ap-
pointed, by reading, in a loud voice, the letter of Royal
convocation, and the list of the electors of the arrondisse-
ments who shall be present.
23. As soon as the electors of the provinces shall be
joined to these to a number equal to one more than half of
the whole, the President will pronounce the Electoral
Junta to be legally constituted.
24. The electors will forthwith proceed by public vote,
and by the absolute majority of the votes to the appoint-
ment of a ' Secretary and two scrutineers chosen from
amongst their body, and in case the voters are divided they
must decide by lot.
25. The secretary, after his appointment, will call the
electors, who will present in succession to the president the
certificate of their nomination, and the documents proving
their legal fitness to be electors.
26. Should any doubt arise as to the admission of these
documents, or respecting the qualifications of the elector,
the difficulty will be removed by the majority of the votes
of the same Junta ; and should the body be divided they
must cast lots.
27. The act of election of the deputies shall not be in-
terrupted for any motive or any pretext whatever. Those
who think themselves injured by the decisions of the elec-
toral Junta can refer their complaints to the next Cortes,
at the period of the presentation and examination of the
qualifications.
28. When all the electors shall have presented their cer-
tificates, with the documents in support of them, and that
any doubts that may be raised shall be cleared, then the
secretary shall read the list of electors who have proved
their title to the right of voting, and after this list is read
no fresh elector who comes shall be admitted to vote.
29. After the • list shall be closed, all the electors will
rise, and the president, also on his legs, holding in his
hand the book of the gospels, shall pronounce the following
form of oath .

" You swear to God and the holy Evangelists this, to
!)ellave loyally and faithfully in the grave mission which
isintrusted to you, in your appointing as deputies to the

(PRICE 7 1

Cortes, by those who believe you to be the persons moat
c2pable of supporting the, rights and splendour of the 1
throne, and disposed to co-operate for the good and rro-'
sperity of the state."
Each elector will then approach the office where the
president sits with the scrutineers and secretaries, and lay-
ing his hand on the book of the Evangelists, he will an-
swer in an audible voice, " Yes, I swear it."

The oath being taken by the electors, the president shall
say, '6 So help you God if you do so, if not may he charge
it upon you."
After some other regulations respecting the details of the
election, the next articles refer to the qualifications re-
quired in candidates for seats. The following are the con-
ditions required by the 14th clause of the Royal Statute,
Titulo 111. :

come of 12,000 reals (1201. )
4. He must have been either born in the province for
which he stands, or have resisted there during the two

the city or county district, or an isnnuity which is equal
to the half of the said reverate.

The regulations for aseertainint6- 4.tt_...ie.esaary qualifica-
tions are then added, and then, after election, a record is
made and kept in the provincial archives.
Every deputy is required to be at Madrid on the eve of
the opening of the Cortes, which will be on the 24th July.
An express arrangement is made for those. provinces
where there is no Municipal Council, as Galicia and Astu-
rias ; and a particular mode is appointed for the Basque
provinces and Navarre, " under existing circumstances !"
