SITTING OF NOV. 23.

The debate on the Law to Prevent Smuggling was continued.
The debate on the Penal Code was began.

syrrlG OF NOV 24.

The debate on the Penal Code was continued. None of the
articles proposed wen: brought forward to be discussed sepa-
rately ; the debate has hitherto been on the merits of the gene-
ral question.
In the Sitting of the 25th, the first article was read, with the
paragraph lately proposed by the Committee, which runs thus :
" As crime is any act, committed or omitted voluntarily and
wilfully, with a bad intention, and with violation of the law,
every voluntary act, contrary to the law; shall be presumed to
be committed wilfully, and with bad intention, unless the con-
trary be proved by the author, or clearly appear."
A long debate arose on the propriety of this definition of a
crime, and the discussion was suspended till the following
Sitting.
MADRID, Nov. 24.—The Government has received an ex-
press from Andalusia ; we do not know the object of it, but as
we have so much experience of the originality with which the
fait-headed people of Seville have invented the method of imi-
tating the hot-headed people of Cadiz, we presume that it may
relate to some patriotic constitutional effort not to receive the
new Governor-General sentby the Government, and to keep the
present one, who is more to their taste.
The local militia of this city are prepal ing a representation to
the Government, drawn up with those Constitutional senti
ments that do honour to the individuals composing that body.
—Perhaps we may be able to publish it to-morrow ; but we
cannot do less now than inform our readers, that the militia,
and the immense majority of the people of Madrid, have the
sense and courage to resist the had examples of the perverse men
who tyrannise over several capitals of the provinces.
NOVEMBER 25. —The National Loan not having been filled
up in the time appointed, it is said that the Minister of Finance
has made a contract with the houses of Ardoin and lAfitte,
of Paris, and of Hope, of Amsterdam, who are fir furnish
one hundred and forty millions of reals, to be converted
into inscriptions, at five per cent. interest, -the 'loss of the
paper being fixed at Ca per 1000 ; the Dutch Loan, and that
of last year, being to be converted into inscriptions in the same
manner.

Nov. 27.—The following is the representation addressed by
the city of Cadiz to the permanent deputation of the Cortes, ac-
quainting it with the events of which the Minister of War gave
an account to the Cortes :
" TO TIIE PEIIMANMZT DEPUTATION 07 TIIE CORTES.

" The fatal future, which the deputation of this province
announced to the permanent deputation in the repres 'ation ad-
dressed to it in the night of yesterday has been re. ,zed—not
with the dreadful excess to which the conduct of the Ministry
might have given rise; but in a painful manner for every peace-
able citizen who desires nothing but order, calmness, and
tranquillity. At the time when the report was circulated that
Baron d'Andilla had arrived post-haste to take possession
of the military command of the province and government of
the garrison, agitation manifested itself among the citizens, who
ran to the Authorities, entreating them not to permit the execu-
tion of the Ministerial Decrees. They founded, their opposition
on the fact, that whatever was the private conduct of d'Andilla,
they did not knew whether lie was devoted to the constitutional
System, and still less whether he had given ,positive proofs of
his attachment,wbich would permit them to surrender to him this
fortress, one of the most important in Spain. This just dissatis-
faction increased in an astonishingdegree, when the public was in-
formed of the secret manoeuvres which had led to that arrangement
of the Government : they have been so tortuous, that they. dis-
honour the elevated posts occupied by Ministers. The Ministers
have, therefore, committed an offence of the gravest responsibility
against good faith and the dignity of the King, who never could
desire that Ministers invested with his confidence should, by
their intrigues, shake the confidence of the nation reposed in
his Majesty 'on the faith of his solemn promises. On this sub-
ject, the deputies to the Cortes from,this Province were charged
by the Civil and Military Authorities of Cadiz to present the
representations addressed to the King, demanding the dismis-
sal of Ministers, and that the command of this Province, and
the Government of Cadiz, should not be given to any but men
who were devoted to the constitutional system, as has been de-
scribed. When the deputies, after having fulfilled their duties,
and entered into conference with the 31inisters to learn the re-
solution of his Majesty, and to communicate it to the Province,
as they had been instructed to do, and as it was- proper to be
done, and when the deputies hoped to receive from Ministers a
definitive answer with the clearness and frankness which distin-
guish a just Government, they concealed from them the pre-
cipitate departure of Baron D'Andilla, as if he meditated a sur-
prise or a coup-de-main, imitating the conduct which an able
General would follow to get possession of a hoitile fortress, or ra-
ttier acting like General Villavicencio, when he brought thither
the chains of despotism. This conduct towards the deputies and
the city of Cadiz has set the seal to every thing which preceded
it, and has given an irrefragable proof of what the nation has
said of the Ministry, when they decreed it an enemy of their in-
stitutions and their liberties. Such has been their hostility to ,our
i ights, that if they committed only the last felony, it authorizes
all cities and villages not to trust the present Ministers, and
gives them the right of refusing obedience to the orders
which should emanate from them, and which might coin-
promise the tranquillity in this province, since the supreme law
is the safety and liberty of our country. The permanent De-
putation, as interested in the national safety, should be convinced
of the necessity of the resistance which, on grounds so sacred,
this province opposes to every order emanating from any Mi-
nistry which shall not have given positive proofs of its firm ad-
hesion to the constitutional system. In conformity with this ex-
post, and convinced that it is difficult to paint the degree of in-
dignation to which the inhabitants of this city have risen, we
hope that, to avoid the fatal consequences which may now be
foreseen, the permanent deputation will exert all the powers
with which, in a case of such importance, the Constitution has
invested it, by preserving our country from greater calamities
than any which it has hithert6 experienced.
" With this object, and that you may demand from Ministers,
culpable to so high a degree, the responsibility enjoined by the
Constitution, let" all the Authorities of this place address this
representation to the permanent Deputation of the Cones.
" Cadiz, Nov. 17.'
[Here follow the signature of the Political Chief Jauregtiy,

of all the Officers of the troops of the line and nulitia, and of
all the municipal, administrative, and judicial Authorities.]
The representation of the city of Corunna to
the King against Ministers is • couched in► terms
as strong and intemperate.
Although the minds of the people are much
heated in all parts of Spain, we are without
alarm regarding result of the events which
at this time occupy public attention. Some mea-
sures, conformable to the demands of public
opinion, and announcing frankness and attach-
ment to the Constitution on the part of the De-
positaries of Power, will soon calm the prevalent
discontents ; and it is generally believed that
the agitation which we experience will ultimately
only serve to give lustre and stability to constitu-
tional principles.
It is affirmed that the permanent Deputation
of the Cortes, always faithful and invariably at-
tached to constitutional principles, has resolved
on not giving any answer to the representation of
the provincial Deputation of Cadiz, until it has
ascertained in a clear and precise manlier the in-
fractions of the Constitution of which Ministers
have been accused ; and that, in this case alone,
it will make a report of them to the future Cortes ;
but as long as only vague accusations are ad-
vanced, without being supported by any proof,
the Deputation will abstain from any act which
may in any manner tend to change the Constitu-
tional system.
It is reported that the Ministry will be dis-
missed, which is very probable ; and in this case,
it is said that General Riego will be ordered to
come to the capital and occupy an eminent post.
His presence alone will be an important event.
Addresses arrive from all quarters against the
Ministry.
It is reported that Mina is marching o❑ Ma-
drid with 30,000 men.
The news from the Provinces is very unsatis-
factory.

(BY AN EXTRAORDINARY CONVEYANCE.)
MADRID, Nov, 27.

The representation of the town of Cadiz to the permanent
deputation of the Cortes has been inserted in the journals of this
day, and has excited a lively sensation. At the same time 'it
was made knoWn that the inhabitants of Cadiz had refused to
receive the Baron Andilla, who had been sent thither in the
quality of Commandant-General. It was generally expected
that these events would be the object of a communication to
the Cortes, and, in consequence, great numbers yesterday
thronged to the Legislative hall. A few minutes after the
opening of the sitting, one of the Secretaries, by order of the
President, read the following Message :
