THE SUN, LONDON, 76U1SDAY, AUGUST 25, 1835.

not tell ; but our opinion is that it was drawn up be-
fore the insurgents had laid dowp their arms :

" ROYAL DECREE.
" Considering the serious interruption which the public
tranquillity of the capital has sustained, and convinced of the
urgent necessity there is for its re-establishment completely,
and on solid foundations, inasmuch as the general welfare of
the state and the safety of the throne of my august daughter,
the Queen Donna Isabel H., are concerned in it, I, in her
Royal name, as Queen Regent of the realm, have decreed as
follows :

" Art. 1. The city of Madrid is declared in a state of siege ;
consequently the superior military authorities will assume all
the powers which belong to them, and all other authorities
will pay due obedience to their orders.
" 2. All the servants of the state, military or civil, even
although they may belong to the Urban Militia, who do not
appear at their respective destinations immediately after the
publication of this my Royal decree, shall suffer de facto the
privation of their employments.
" 3. All laws and Royal decrees inconsistent with the pre-
sent are suspended until the reason for such suspension shall
cease by the re-establishment of public order.
" Signed by the Royal Hand.
" San Ildefonso, August 16.
" To the President of the Council of Ministers."

It is probable that so many repetitions of an insurrec-
tionary movement in the capital, will compel the Govern-
ment to adopt less tardy measures for quelling the insur-
rection in the North. For several months past nothing,
has been done towards increasing the army, or provi-
ding for the clothing and victualling of the troops.
Such indifference must fill the public mind with dis-
trust of the wisdom and firmness of the QUEEN'S
constitutional advisers.

Letters and Papers from Lisbon to the 13th inst.
have been received. The following official decree ap-
pears in the Diario de Governo of the 12th :---

In the case of Mr. Abernethy, the Lord Ckancellor granted the
injunction, although there was no manuscript ; but ultimately that
decision was reversed. He (Mr. W.) thought it was a bad case
indeed, if persons were not to be allowed to publish for the benefit
of the public. The lectures of men connected with St.
Bartholomew's Hostpital, who were paid- by the public for the
delivery of those lectures upwards of 8001. a-year. If the Hon.
and Learned Member would so frame a clause as to enable lec-
tures to be given, and then published, he should not object to the
Bill.

After some observations from Mr. RUTHVEN, strangers were
ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there ap-
peared—.

For the clause .
Against it
Majority for the clause
On clause 4 being read,
Mr. PRYME objected to the clause.
Mr. WAKLEY concurred with the Hon. Member for Cam-
bridge in opposing the clause. There should be a distinction made
between public and private lectures.
The clause was then put and agreed to.
The other clauses with the preamble were then agreed to, and
the House resumed.

Mr. WILKS gave notice that on the third reading of the Bill,
he would move the insertion of a clause for the purpose of including
sermons in the protection afforded by the Bill.
OATHS ABOLITION BILL.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
this Bill was read a first time.
COMPENSATION TO MR. BUCKINGHAM.

On the motion of Mr. TULK the Order of the Day for the
second reading of Mr. Buckingham's Compensation Bill was read.
Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE moved that Counsel be called in and
heard against the Bill.
Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE and Mr. WIGRAM appeared at the Bar
as Counsel on behalf of the East India Company against the Bill.
Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE addressed the House at considerable
length, arguing that Mr. Buckingham was bound to obey the laws
of the Indian Government for regulating Newspapers, and that not
having done so, he had rendered himself justly liable to all the con-
sequences that followed.
