LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, ias4•

Our City article contains a rumour of the tendered
resignation of the Madrid Cabinet, in consequence of
the opposition the Ministry experienced respecting the
Bill of Rights, and that the REGENT has refused to
accept it. We hope this information is correct, as it
cannot fail to convince Ministers of the slightness of
the tenure by which they retain their places, and of
the necessity of acting more in accordance with the
liberal spirit now dominant in the Chamber of De-
puties. At all events M. DE LA ROSA and his
official colleagues are already more than convinced that
they are more indebted to their superior tact, and the
lumbering regulations of the Reglamento, for their
continuance in power, than either to their popularity
out of doors, or their strength within ; and that nothing
is wanted to hurl them from the benches which they
now occupy, but a simplifying of the standing orders,
so that Ministers may not be able to manage an en-
trenchment behind them. They may depend upon it,
the lesson which they are reported to have been taught,
if it has not yet come, will shortly be verified, unless
they pay more regard to principle, consistency of ac-
tion, and the wishes of the Spanish people.

The repeal of the Voto de Santa Jago, which was
agreed to by the Spanish Cortes during the sitting of
the Chambers on the 31st of August, was followed by
a liberal intimation on the part of the Ministry, to the
effect that they were prepared to recommend the abo-
lition of another ecclesiastical impost, which pressed
heavily on agriculturists, namely, the Voto de Santa
Anna. We do not know to which of the St. Armes
—for their name is Legion—this grateful offering was
devoted, but we presume to her who is known at Rome
as the wife of JOACHIM and mother of the Virgin.
But the ♦ery existence of such an impost is
enough to fill the mind of the reflecting with
not the most agreeable ideas of the intelligence of
the Spanish people. It is a link of the most galling

chain that ever fettered human nature, and which re-
solved itself into this simple proposition, that in the
same proportion in which it should please Heaven to
shower down mercies on mankind, ought man to be
miserable. There is a myriad of mournful reflections
linked to the very name of each of these clerical exac-
tions. To the poor, deluded, blind, ignorant Spanish
peasant, no calamity could be greater than any
extraordinary interposition of the Deity or his angels,
in behalf of h=is country. If a Saint, clad in martial
costume toolic the field in defence of a land so celes-
tially belove 3, and defeated whole armies by a single
brandish of his sword, the poor peasant found his
labour taxed, the fruit of his fields carried off, and his
helpless of.f3pring left to struggle with hunger, and cold,
and nakedness, in order that the saints should be ap-
prised of his great gratitude for, to him, a ruinous., and
by him an unsolicited, service ! If a saint of the ;softer
sex tl-,ought proper to guard, with more than ordiinary
care, the gates of a nunnery, so as to prese."ve
from the rude licentiousness of a victoricrus arm Y
