into the hands of General RODIL. The
circular of MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA to the
diplomatic agents of Spain in foreign courts
will be found in another column. Don JUAN
ALVAREZ GUERIA has been appointed the
successor of ALTAMIRA. The Spanish funds
have risen 4 per cent.

The German papers state that the confe-
rences of the German Ministers proceed more
slowly than was at first supposed and it is not
impossible that some of the members of the
conference may leave Vienna for a time, and
their places be supplied by others during their
absence.

Active negotiations are on foot respecting
Switzerland. An Austrian courier set out yester-
day for Madrid, whose despatches are said to
relate to the Swiss affairs.

A Russian courier has also been despatched
to Italy, the diplomatic communications with
which country appear to be most important.

Letters from Madrid state, that thirty-four
archbishops, bishops, mitred abbots, and other
church dignitaries, have solemnly proteste d
against the convocation of the Cortes, as set-
tled by the decrees of the 10th inst. This is
natural, and will prove beneficial. The Spa-
nish church will gain as much as the English
clergy did by their opposition to Parliamentary
reform, or the heads of the English universi-
ties will, by refusing to admit dissenters on
equal terms.

We expected that the Dutch merchants would
ere long find out their mistake in supporting so
steadily their obstinate monarch. There have
been strong remarks in the Chamber of the
States-General on the expenses of the army,
and against any further protraction of a final
settlement with Belgium. The Dutch KING
has been very reluctant to give up the sove-
reignty of Belgium—he will gain as his reward
the dislike, mistrust, and reproaches of those
whose good opinion and confidence are neces-
sary to his enjoyment of the sovereignty of that
country in which he might have been beloved
and revered.

All is quiet in Jamaica. The Commercial
Advertiser, in reference to the departure of
Lord MULGRAVE, says—
" We have bidden farewell to a Governor whose
highest ambition while among us was to render justice
to all parties, to afford protection to the weak, to dis-
arm the oppressor, and, by firmness and decision of
character, to bring into operation, without respect of
persons, the rights and privileges of the British con-
stitution. Undismayed, he repressed a civil war—
not between bond and free, but between those whom
the law of our land had made political equals. By
his firmness the hydra of religious intolerance was de-
stroyed, party feelings were subdued, and unanimity
promoted.
" Three fourths, at least, of the free inhabitants of
Jamaica concur in the prudential and judicious deci-
sions of the Earl of Mulgrave ; their hearts rejoice
that, by his means, civil war has been averted from
our isle, and they feel keenly the cause which takes
him from us.'
" A number of black females walked on each side of
Lord and Lady Mulgrave's carriage, with palms and
flowers in their hands.
" The Somersetshire, which arrived on the even-
ing of the 13th, had on board the Marquis of Sligo's
horses, &e."
Lord MUL GRA VE has arrived in this country.

In another part of The Sun will be found a
petition from certain inhabitants of Fleet-street
to the Courts of Aldermen and Common Coun-
cil praying for the removal of Temple-bar. The
petition deserves attention, for it certainly makes
out a strong case.

The tender regard of the Church for her
Dissenting brethren was never better exemplified
than at the present moment. "Of the fruit of
the tree of knowledge thou shalt not eat," says
Oxford to the Dissenter, " for on the day thou
eatest thereof thou shalt cease to be a Dis-
senter." " Eat of it thou mayest," says Cam-
bridge, " but profit by it thou shalt not with my
assistance." " Into our universities thou shalt
not enter," says the Churchmen, " and uni-
versities of thine own thou shalt have none."
How strange it is, that a Church so just and
mild in its conduct, should have enemies among
those to whom it is only known by the modesty
of its demeanour, the softness of its language,
and the kindness of its acts. Were it as
haughty, as insolent, and as intolerant as the
old lady in scarlet, it could not have more
numerous or more inveterate enemies.
