We received Spanish Papers this day to -thel
24th ult., and we subjoin the contents:—
" CORUNNA, MAY.l5.—The. Political Chief
has published an explanation of his conduct dur-
ing the late events, which have filled with con-
sternation all those who retain any ideas of order
and justice. He says in substance, that being
informed that the faction which had declared a
civil war in.the provinces of Burgos and Alava,
had ramifications in all the provinces of the Mo-
narchy, and that in this province attempts were
making to arm people against the system, he
ordered the persons whose-names we have before
mentioned to be arrested and sent. to this city,
till their papers having been examined, they
should be delivered to their respective Judges.
" The sudden ebullition of popular zeal com-
pelled the authorities to the deposition of cer-
tain persons, against whom public -opinion was
.the most loud. The others will be delivered to
the competent Judges as• soon as possible, except
such as are not implicated in the suspicion of
conspiracy by any proof • in his hands, and he
mentions 6 persons, .all of great respectability,
who have been already set at liberty. The peo-
ple may be easy, he adds, as the plan of the,
factious is wholly disconcerted) and the authori-
ties on the alert.

44 CADIZ, MAY 14.—The 168,000 reals re-
maining in the hands of the Committee, of the
subscription of the 10th March, have been di-
vided with the approbation of the Municipality
among 60 families belonging to persons killed;
and 202 families of persons wounded on that day.
46 MADRID, MAY 23.—The Decree of • the
Cortes against sending money to Rome, is officially
promulgated. The first Article says, The pay-
ment of money, or any thing equivalent, to Rome
for the Bulls of :Archbishopricks, Bishopricks;
Matrimonial Dispensations, and all other rescripts,
indulgences, and Apostolic favours whatever,
shall entirely cease.' The second article gives to
his Holiness the sum of 9000 hard piastres per
annum, as a voluntary gift, over and above the
sums stipulated in preceding Concordats—the
Cortes reserving to themselves to increase this
sum if .the nation shall in future be able to do
so. By the 'third article, the Government is to
• take the necessary steps to prevent this change in
the mode of obtaining matrimonial dispensations
from causing any delay to the prejudice of .the
-pastdis iiit,erested; 'This law is. to. be prestwied

to His Holiniis in the most respectful manner, sb
as to cement harmony and good understanding
between the two powers, which the Cortes desire
to maintain, to whom the Governor will give au
account of the result."

Jamaica Papers- arrived this morning to the
24th April. The following are Extracts :
" KINGSTON (JAMAICA), APRIL 23.—Accounts

heve been received from Panama, that the An
frigate was daily looked for from Cal-
lao with the deposed Viceroy PEzuELA, and that
SAN MARTIN was advancing rapidly, with a daily
increasing army, towards the capital.
44 Previously to the sailing of the Albion from
Cuba, an American schooner, called the Frank-
lin, arrived at that port from New York. The
Captain states, that on the 13th inst., off Cape
Maize, he fell in with Commodore Amy's
squadron, consisting of five sail of vessels, one of
which fired two shots into the Franklin, and
brought her to. The Captain was ordeied on
board, when he was put into irons, and the boat
sent back for the passengers' luggage and let-
ters. Commodore AUKY ordered every thing to
be examined, and broke open. all the letters:
after detaining them three hours they were again
sent back to the Franklin. Two Spanish,
schooFiers, their prizes, were- in company ; one
of them had 300 slaves on boards- Commodore
Atrity was anxious to dispose of the slaves to the
Captain of the Franklin."—(Rosal .Gazette of
April 21,.)

Letters from Buenos Ayres of the Ist February
mention, that shortly after the arrival of Mr.
FORBES at that place, Judge PnEvosT was or-
dered to quit Buenos Ayres in twenty-four hours :
be took refuge on board an American brig, until
an opportunity offered to convey him to Chili.
The cause assigned for this conduct on the part
of the Government is, his expression of illiberal
sentiments respecting this young and struggling
people.
[ Extract of a Letter from Callao, Nov. 22.]
" The Macedonian has received on board the
wounded of her boats' crew, six in number, two
having been killed ; one of the wounded is not
expected to live. Several Americans, who have
been imprisoned on shore, have been sent off.
Wo are now allowed to receive our cargo within
about half a mile of the shore, and to receive it
from their boats into ours ; but no English or
Americans are allowed to land."

We understand that Mr. SCARLETTYS Bill on
the Poor Laws has excited much attention
throughout the Country, and is deemed likely,
if confirmed by. Act of Parliament, to be pro-
ductive of consequences very different from what
the Learned Counsel, with the most laudable
views, of course, must have expected. It is pro-
bable that the active duties of his profession
have too much occupied the mind of the able
and eloquent Advocate, to allow him duly to
examine and reflect on a subject of such mag-
nitude, importance, and complexity. If he had
no other matters to engage his wind than his po-
litical duties as a Member or Parliament, there
ran be no doubt that his talents and general know-

ledge would enable him to frame-a plan suitable to
the subject, and calculated to be highly benefi-
cial to the country, but for the reason which we
have mentioned it can hardly be supposed that,
amidst his constant business as a Barrister, the
Learned Gentleman should have leisure sufficient
to contemplate the subject, and devise a measure
of comprehensive legislative utility.

THE KING'S CORONATION.-The day reported
now to be appointed for the Coronation of his
MAJESTY is the 19th June. This morning orders
were issued by the Dean and Chapter of -West-
minster, to engage more workmen, so as to be
able to complete the interior of the Abbey
by the 30th instant. The preparations are
,00ing on with the most surprising rapidity.—
'!'he -.Heraldic insignia is being prepared by some
of the, first Artists in the country. The Coronets
to be worn ,by the Peers are nearly all com-
pleted. The Barons and Viscounts are mostly
made of metal gilt; the Earls and Marquesses,
of silver. gilt ; and the Dukes of pure gold—
their appearance is splendid beyond description.
—lt may be proper to add, that there is only
one platform erected in the Chancel of the 'Ab-
bey, on which the lingo will he enthroned. At
the last Coronation there were two, one four,
and the other two feet high, on which GEORGE
the 'Third and his Royal Consort were crowned.

CHT.JRCHER'SCOLLEGi.-The proceedings on the.
information against the Trustees of this College:
will now, we u4Orstand, be proceeded in witht
every possible diSpatch; the further answer of
the acting or managing Trustee having been re-
cently put in, in consequenco of the exceptions
taken to his former answer. We do not believe'
.there is adq truth in the report that an attempt.
has been made 'to appoint NEW Trustees pending
this suit. • The 6rcumstances of this case, and the
peculiar situation of some of the Trustees, must
render it a matter of great delicacy and risque
to venture on a speculation of that nature. Nei-
ther do we attribute much importance to the visit
to the College on Monday last, as we are satis-
fied- that not any change of system will be at-
tempted to be adopted, but under the express di-
rection of the Court of Chancery.—(Pctersjic/d,
6th Junc,,1821.)

The house of Commons will adjourn from to
morrow till Wednesday next, for the Whitsun

tide recess.
Yesterday the Marquis of LONDONDERRY had
a long audience with the KING.
The Letters from France concur in stating,
that incalculable damage has been done to the
vineyards by the sharp frosts and hail-storms at
the close of last month, particularly in the nights
of the 28th and 29th. Several vineyards which
promised an abundant vintage are laid waste, and
wines. arc now on the advance,
