The arrivals from Madrid, which are of the 29th,
30th, and 31st December, are more important than
any which have been received from that capital for
some weeks. General LLAUDER, to whom the War
Department was recently intrusted, and who, previous
to his appointment to a seat on the Ministerial bench,
figured in Barcelona and Catalonia as Captain-Gene-
ral, contrived a plot for the dismissal of the present
Cabinet, and the appointment of himself and his crea-
tures as their successors. The QUEEN REGENT, who is
generally represented as a very vain weak woman,
and to whom LLAUDER was most assiduous in pay-
ing his Court, was easily prevailed upon, through her
fears, and the flattery of the intriguer, to fall into his
views. LLAUDER represented to her that Spain could
only be preserved from falling into the hands of the
Carlists, by the adoption of a more conservative in-
ternal policy, and the aid of foreign troops ; and that
these things could not be done, so long as MARTINEZ
DE LA ROSA, and his colleagues, occupied the
Cabinet. The QUEEN REGENT, who is more skilled
in the abilities of an opera-dancer than the principles
which ought to actuate the proceedings of a govern-
ment, and who is acknowledged by the most illustrious
personages about the Court, to have a more correct
taste in the fascinating arrangement of a set of curls,
than a sound judgment of the construction of a
cabinet, very naturally agreed in opinion with a states-
man, who saw in her only the incomparable rivalry of
beauty, wisdom,
.and wit. Her MAJESTY consented
to cashier the Cabinet the first favourable opportunity,
and LLAUDER, confident of success, talked loudly of
the impossibility of such men as MARTINEZ DE LA
ROSA and M. TOREN° continuing to hold the reins
of government. Meanwhile the Catalonian Cataline
was not idle. He drew up handbills, which he caused
to be privately distributed throughout the northern
provinces, calling upon the people to forward addresses
to the QUEEN, imploring her MAJESTY to follow the
sage counsel of LLAUDER (hiniSelf), . and thanking
her for having taken him into the Ministry. The plot
was, however, happily discovered- in time to prevent
any mischief. The arch4raitor, thinking hinaself
sufficiently secure, began to look about him for mate-
rials for the construction of his gOvernment. After
some consideration he thought of placing TORENO
at the head of the Council, as he was too po-
pular a Minister to be converted into an open
enemy. To REstrso he determined to commit
the care of TORENO'S budget ; and thus hav-•
ing as it were formed a coalition with the:Liberals,
commence with a retrograde movement back to the
system of M.•ZBA, the tool of the Royal petticoat
sempstress, FERDINAND, of Virgin-clothing me-
mory l ToRENo rejected the proposition with scorn,
and at once revealed the whole plot, with the infamy
of the contriver to the Council, and through it
to the principal Members of the Legislative
Chambers. The QUEEN, who knew nothing of
what • was going forward, invited LLAUDER
to dine with her in the Casa de Campo, where,
in the presence of the Duke of MUNOS and
several other Grandees, the Minister of War was to
give a public explanation of the course he intended
to pursue. Hardly, however, were the guests seated
at table, when TORENO entered, folloWed by his col-
leagues, and several distinguished Proceres and Pre-
curadores, and at once tendered their resignations.
The shock was tremendous. The QUEEN was . com-
pletely taken by surprise, and LLAUDER had not
matured his plans sufficiently to make any
head against.the Liberals. •The press had denounced
him as an intriguing deSpotic adverittirer ; and the
two leading Ministerial Journals had declared they
would join the Opposition, were he to be placed at the
head of the Administration: The QUEEN saw her
error, and in a moment the whole plot was annihilated.
The arrivals from Spain in which the above is re-
lated, do not state that LLAUDER stands charged with
more than the intention of causing a revolution in
the country, which his 'plan of eonserVatisin, if
carried into effect, would most undoubtedly pro-
duce. But now comes the question of by whose
councils General ALAVA made overtures to Louts
PHILIPPE for troops to suppress the rebellion in Cata-
lonia ? It will be remembered that we announced the
arrival of the General in Paris with letters from the
QUEEN REGENT demanding assistance, and that the
citizen KING having hesitated to interfere, letters were
despatched to the Duke of WELLINGTON for the
concurrence of the British Government, to which
his Grace had not returned any answer on the
31st ultimo, six days after the General's letters
had been dispatched from Versailles. Was it then by
the advice of LLAUDER that ALA.VA was sent on
this extraordinary mission ? •If so, why is he per-
mitted to continue a single day in office—or rather
why is he not impeached by the Cortes for this uncon-
stitutional act ? All parties agree that if he had suc-
ceeded, a bloody revolution would have been the con-
sequence ? Why, then, is he not impeached at once,
as a lesson to intriguing courtiers and imbecile Sove-
reigns ?

On the 31st. ult., TOREN° introduced to the
Chamber his plan for the liquidation of the home
debt. Some idea may be formed of the reckless
profligacy of former Governments, when a great part of
that debt w;ts purchasable -in the Money Alarket,
some months since, at eight and nine per cent. ! As
a copy of the project of law will -shortly reach us, we
shall not give any of the various rumours on the subject.

READ MY BOOKS

Mr. ergea.a, gpanile; ;then slienem riots in some degree restored,
said that he fully avowed the authorship est the hOok to cthieh Mr.
Hewitt had alluded; it was a book full of opinions iipciti GOfefn,=
went, which it would do the electors a great deal of good to read.
He would advise them to read the book.— Sergeant Spankie's Speech
to the Finsbury Electors.

Read my book, and there you shall learn
The readieft way your coat to turn ;
Read my book, and there you shall see
How much may be said for apostacy ;
What tho' it load the publisher's shelves,
And puzzle the critics (stupid elves 1)
What, tho' it bid the Liberals weep,
And set e'en the Tories fast asleep ;
What tho' my book do this, and more
Than ever book achieved before,
( Viz., show in each line the wit commanding,
That passeth all human understanding)
'Tis a capital book; so, Electors, pray,
Read it—study it, night and day;
For 'twill teach you, in reason's own despite,
That white is black; and black is white ;
That pensions and places are sacred things,
And kings omniscient, as Beaumont sings ;*
That Whigs, when in, are all wise and true,
But Whigs, when out,- a rascal crew
And that honour's course is easiest run,
By setting high value on Number One
Head my hook—'tis wond'rous fine,
And smells of the rat in every line ;
Since Sheil's Apostate," there ne'er was writ
A book so full of sense and wit ;
Don't talk L, of my-country's good,
I'm none of your thin-s7;f::',l=f; patriot LTood ;
My name is Spankie—my creed, to (3.*,:".-.72
Like a leech to those who hare aught to give;
So long live Ministers; shout, boys, shout,
And ring their praise---'till they're all turned out;
Then change your tune, and your sweet throats strain,
With welcoming back the Whigs again !
Should Satan himself, by some cunning slip,
Kiss hands at Court for the Premiership,
I'd be first to cry, with the courtier squad,
" Long live Lord Satan 1"—I would, by G—d 1

" Thgre's not the least limb growing to a king,
But carries wisdom in it."—Beaumont and Fletcher.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF

FINSBURY.

Without large funds—without flags, banners, music, or
coaches—by your noble discrimination, and the able services of
a small, brat compact and independent committee, have we
elected the man who will, ere long, prove to his friends that
their support was well bestowed, and to his enemies that their
prejudice was founded only on personal envy, hatred, or
caprice. Every man who has done aught in securing the
election of Waklcy, the Patriot, (from his. nominator
down to his most humble servitor) may rest secure
in the consciousness that tens of thousands of their fellow
countrymen may never probably attain to so high an honour.
This first edition of the Finsbury election is dedicated with
tho most profound respect to the King. E. A. H.

At, ad eally flour this morning the hustings were surrounded
by an immense crO*l of persons anxious to hear the declara-
tion of the successful candidttlee.
At twelve o'clock the Committee of Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY
appeared with flags, and were received with treMendous cheer-
ing. Shortly afterwards Sir S. Whalley made his appearance
in front of the hustings, and was received with cheering rin
wavieg of hats. Mr. Bulwer followed him, and experienced
an equally warm and cordial reception.
Although the declaration of the numbers was fixed for
twelve o'clock precisely, the Returning Officer, J. Sandell,
Esq., did not make his appearance until that hour,
when he commenced making up the poll-books, v hich occupied
a very considerable time. The crowd became very impatient
efter half an hour had elapsed, and there were loud cries from
the assembled multitude of " Shame, shame," and " Time."
Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY came forward, and said the Return-
ing Officer had requested him to apologize for having kept
them waiting, but an unavoidable duty was imposed upon him
by the Act, which was that the poll books should be opened
in the presence of the assembled electors, and that duty, he
assured them, would be soon performed.
A cow's horn was here exhibited on a poll, in the midst of
the crowd, decorated with crape; it was quickly passed to the
hustings, with a request that it might be hung up in front.
This was complied with, and produced much laughing and
cheer;ng, and tended to keep the crowd in good humour for
some time longer.
At about a quarter past one o'clock, the Returning
Officer came forward, and said that he was extremely sorry
that the Act of Parliament strictly directed him to
make up every one of the votes which had been given,
and not to make any return until that had been bone. That
duty he had performed, and although it was a very arduous
one, lie was pleased at being able to make such a izqurn as
had fallen to his lot on the present occasion. The coldness of
the air would, he trusted, be a sufficient excuse for the sheet-
ness of his speech. When he had appeared before them on j
Tuesday last, the day of nomination, he had requested them to I
conduct themselves with propriety while the business was per-
formed, must say, that he had never seen men come to the
poll with more ye:fitness and sobriety than the electors on the
present occasion.. This would probably be the last time that
he should appear before them, and he must say, that he had
received such a notice from Sir William Horne's committee
as should have been kept back. The notice to which he
alluded was one signed by Mr. Harris, calling upon him to do
their dirty work. He would explain to them in what manner
that notice had been sent, and why.—( Hear.) As he was
neither the Duke of Wellington nor any other of his Ma-
jesty's Ministers! with a long tail behind them, he thought
it a very improper thing of Sir William's Committee to re-
quest of them as they did, to see their voters out of the
crowd while he was obliged to preside in that box. Such
dirty work he disdained. He thought it was more the duty of
Sir William Horne's own Committee to do their own dirty
work, if dirty work it was.—(Laughter and long con-
tinued cheering.) He thanked them most kindly for the
manner in which they conducted themselves while performing
one of the most high and important duties which as English-
men- they were called upon:to perform. Their conduct not
only did credit to the electors of that borough, but to the
country at large._( Tremendous cheering.) He would not
detain them with further comment, but would finish the pleas-
work by making the .return.
The numbers polled were as follows :
Sir William Horne lBB2 (Groans. )
Sir Samuel Whalley
H. L. Bulwer 2781 (Cheers. )
Mr. Young 37B' (Laughter. )
It was only necessary for him now to declare that Sir
Samuel Whalley and Mr. Bulwer were returned as the
Representatives of Mary-le-bone in the ensuing Parlia-
ment--(Loud cheers.)
Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY came forward amidst tremendous
cheering, and said—Gentlemen, if you are affected with such
emotions of joy upon this occasion, how must I feel who have
been the instrument of accomplishing so great victory.—( Loud
cheers.) Well may you feel inebriated with joy—well may
you congratulate each other—well may you take each other by
the hand, and say, that as men you have done wt; of England
expected you to do—your duty.—(Tremendous elieernng.) But
not only have you achieved a great and signal victory in e-ending
into the House of Commons a faithful representative—tha,!: was
but half the work—but you have sent with him a colleague
a man who will go hand in hand with me—a man who wilt
strive to promote the interests, not only of the borough, but
of the whole of England, and who will study to extend sound
principles of civil and religious liberty in every quarter of the
world where the British influence extends. I told you when
last I addressed you, that I asked one signal favour—a majority
of 2000.—(Cheers.) You have given it me, and I will
prove it by arithmetic—you have given your humble servant a
majority of 1094 over Mr. William Horne—you haie given to
my no less useful colleague a majority of 979, by the simple
addition makes 2073.—(Tremendous cheers.) You have done
more than I asked. You have given me 73 as a bonus.—
(Cheers.) But you have done still more : you have read a
lesson to the Representatives of the people which, I trust, they
will never forget. The metropolis had set the example : they
had turned out the unfaithful stewards; but to those who had
done their duty, they had given them their reward—they
had elected them as their Representatives.—(Loud cheer-
ing.) Oh 1 that my efforts, whatever they may have
been—whatever they may be—wi:l leave me still a
debtor for the noble manner in which you have fought
the battle—Cheers)--you have now two representatives for
Marylebone, who, side by side, will defend your privileges.
We are neither of us very fat or robust, but we have plenty
of spirit, and you have found that it is not the most robust
frame that do the most work—sometimes the largest and
fattest horse gots lazy—( Cheers.) When you put me in the
state coach to take a daily journey twice a-day, my off-hand
colleague sadly backed from the collar—(Loud cheers)--he
eippea;,,nd all the work fell upon me—he grew vicious, and
took to kicking, and the end of him then was that
you kicked
him out--(TremetaLsoe cheering and laughter). You have
now given me as fair . Colleague as I could wish for,
and we will run like two fillies in a curricle—( Chee,es and
laughter.) If the rest of the people follow your example, sand
get such a teem, we will get the state-coach with William ths.
Reformer in it—if, indeed, he is still a Reformer—( Groans and
cheers)--we will put his lordly footman at the back, and then
the state coach will again roll along on the road of
Liberty and Reform.---( Tremendous cheering and laughter.)
Gentlemen, we must be merry on this occasion ; for though it
is early in the morning, it is excusable if we are now inebri-
ated with joy—( Laughter)—for it is not merely a triumph
here, but it is a triumph from one end of the kingdom to the
other, and the shouts of joy throughout the country will make
the enemy tremble to the very heart.—( Cheers.) Oh, I wish
for a moment we could but see what is passing in that sanctum
sanctorum, called the Cabinet—if we could see their faces
pale and long on the present occasion, as messenger after
messenger comes in with the appalling news that the cause of
the people is triumphing, and that the cause of Toryism is
being trampled under foot. I think, Gentlemen, they would
look somewhat like that council down below, which Milton
describes in his Paradise Lost.
" And sit, unite, pondering the dangers with troubled thoughts,
And each, in others' countenances, reads his own dismay."
And this way, indeed, they may well feel.—( Cheers.) I
wonder what the subject of debate may be now.—(Much
laughter.) I fancy I can make a shrewd guess. They took
office somewhere about December, and I dare say they are now
considering whether it might be possible to delay the meeting
of Parliament, and to hold office so as to make a quarter's
salary complete.—(Laughter and cheers.) I wonder if the
national accountants of the Exchequer were to cast up the
profit and loss in !..he event of a dissolution, what they would
find the result to be—a few pensions probably, a few titles, one
Learned Knight, the new Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and I
reckon his arm won't ache with .holding the seals—( Great
laughter)—but I suppose that Learnej Knight will be made a
Peer, they will thereby gain strength in the Upper House.
Another Learned Knight, that deep read man, the new Lord
Chief Baron, will also be made a Peer of; a:A another
Learned Knight, Sir Charles Manners Sutton—no, no, he is
not to be made a Peer of at present,--I have seen a paragraph
to-day that Sir Charles Manners Sutton has returned to
Palace-yard, and is to be proposed as Speaker of the
new House of Commons.—( Continued laughter and groans.)
Gentlemen is it possible that the representatives of the people
are to be insulted with such a proposition—that they are again
to be called upon to place in the chair a man who has used the
power and influence that that House conferred on him to cause
th

ie downfall of that Ministry that was supported by an over-
whelming majority ?—( Hear, hear.) Is it possible that the
new House of Commons will degrade itself by placing at its
head that man, who, honoured as he was by the
last Parliament, and who ought to have considered
that his whole dignity was to suppert its privileges,
has combined to effect its destruction ?—( Cheers.) That was
the first false step made by the last parliament, that of placing
him in the chair,—( Hear, hear)—and if the present parlia-
ment has so little sense of what is dun to its own dignity and
the country, I shall for one despair of its pursuing a good
course for the future. Still I believe that the House of Com-
mons, elected as the people will, will spurn such a Louse propo-
sition..-4 Cheers.) Gentlemen, upon the present oocasion I
heartily congratulate you upon the noble triumph y,ou have
achieved, because I firmly believe it will be beneficial to
the interests of the country, that it will promote your ow.n in-
terests—that it will give relief, civil and religious liberty, to
the Dissenters—that it will promote good Government, supply
to the hungry bread, to the uneducated education—that it will
extend sound principles throughout the world, and consolidate
and improve all that is valuable among our British institutions.
—( Immense cheering, and cries of " Bravo, bravo.")
Heartily, therefore, may we congratulate each other. Deeply
as I thank you, it is not by words I shall endeavour
to prove my sincere gratitude, but my future acts shall
be devoted to it; so that when I do appear before you again
as a candidate for your suffrages you may receive me with that
kindness and cordiality which I now carry away with me as a
lasting remembrance of to-day.---( Great applause.)
Mr. BucwEa now appeared amidst immense cheering.
Gentleman (he said), I am not fond of personalities, but I
assure you I was not altogether sorry to see a horn with a
black crape upon it stuck up in this place over my head, and I
will tell you why, gentlemen , because, if a black horn had
not been there, I should have been obliged to think you were
a set of green-horns—( Laughter and cheering)—imposed
upon by a parcel of petty tricks and flimsy contrivances, and
placed unwillingly under the obligation of having a representa-
tive in Parliament who misrepresented your opinions. As to
the other young, gentleman--(Laughter)—l should be sorry
to say anything- that was harsh, but I cannot help thinking that
when he i)alanccd last night his promises and his expenses—•
