[Morning Post ]

We are now enabled to state the progress of the late Gene-
ral Election up to last Saturday evening. The proportion
between the Lis and Outs runs very clue,-, being, as far as
could be made up to the above period, 13t new Members re-
turned, and tan old ones, either retired or not returned.
The general result is, that about one-sixth, and not more, of
the late Parliament, has been changed, and, upon the most
accurate calculation that can be made, Ministers have gffli,„rei
Irons eighteen to twenty, instead of losing fifteen, as pre-
dicted by the Party Chronicle.

• CATO-STIt EET CONSPIRATORS.

The Police Reporter whose account ae published yesterday
was premature in stating that the Counsel named were re-
tained ; they have at present only been mentioned by the
friends of the prisoners as gentlemen they would wish to bare
to defend them. He is likewise incorrect in stating that Mr.
HAnwa visited the prisx;,rs in the Tower on Monday. He
saw on Monday some of those in the House of Correction,
and yesterday morning went to the Tower to see the seven
there courined ; but the Lieutenant not having received any
instructions from the Clerk of the Council .or Secretary of
State. ile.;lined obeying the mandate of the Lord Chief Justice
AraaoTr, and Sr. HAHMER was not ailowed to see them until
he commuoicat'ed with the Home Secretary As soon, how-
ever, as his application was made known at the Secretary of
State's °dice, Mt. Honnouss sent directions for him to be
perniittsd to visit the prisoners, and yesterday afternoon and
.L.ver“:lg he sac then: all .11 their separate apartwents.—'ftie

'We received this morning the Yar:is 'Papers of
Sunday last. In the Chamber of DepUties, on
Saturday, after hearing a Report on Petitions,
the discussion was resumed on the 'Projet re-
specting the financial Accounts, and Was again
adjourned till Monday. They contain no fur—
ther news from Spain. The following are

extracts :

‘‘ PARIS, APRIL 9.—Yester4lay the King gave
a private audience to the Minister of the Grand,
Duke of Baden His Majesty also transacted bu-
siness Kids the Duke de Richelieu and with Mar-
shal Macdonald, Grand Chancellor of the Legion
of Honour. The King will not hold any Court
this day.

" The number of persons confined in 'the dif-
ferent prisons of Paris, Civil and Military, was,
on the 4th inst., 4,8G2 ; the !oral in January last
was 4,591.

" Letters from. Aix-la-Chapelle, the authenti-
city of which we can guarantee, confirm to us
not only that there is no cptestion as to any as-
AcrubliNg of Troops,' or any Army of Observation,
but that on the contrary, a great number of fur-
loughs have been granted.—(Journal de Paris.)
" General O'Donoju on taking the command
of the Army of Andalusia, issued a Proclamation,
calling upon the troops to maintain discipline
and subordination, and to become united its senti-
ment and feeling.

" Events in Spain take a turn more and more
serious. The King's brothers have been obliged
to take the title of Citizen. ;Several pro-
vinces still refuse to recognize the new Con-
stitution. The finances are in the most de-
plorable state. The Government lids ob-
tained some motley by confiscating the property
of some Members of the Itruisition; but this
resource is precarious, and the penury of the
Treasury will render necessary general measures,
of which it is impossible to foresee the results,—

Of the 22d Marrb IBn, B3 f, —c."

This inor,,ing we [rceived le,ters from Bom-
bay, dated A be 7th 01 November. They speak
with coufidetice of the result of the Expeditioi,

against the Pirates, and that every prei,aration
was making there for a further reinforcement to
he sent. The Orion, which had just arrived, was
immediately put into requisition, to proceed up
the Persian Guiph. The expedition which had
sailed consisted of about twenty ships, and they
were determined to punish the Pirates for their
depredations, and afterwards make them pay ho-
tnage to the Company. The cholera morbus still
raged in Bombay and its vicinity, which had caused
great devastation among the Natives, and some of
the European troops had suffered considerably. A
severe gale had been experienced at Madras on
the 2lst.,in which several ships had been driven
from their moorings, and others on shore, but no
lives had been lost. The Native Chiefs up the
Guiph appeared much discontented and were as-
sembling troops in all directions.

THE FUNDS.—This is settling day for the Ac-
count ; but so little business has been done, and
the fluctuation so trifling during the whole ac-
count, that the day passes over the same as usual.
Consols for Money are 68n, with scarcely any
business doing—tor May 69i. Up to twelve
o'clock no defaulter was declared, and from the
trifling differences to settle none are expected.

The Proceedings at the Chester Assizes, of
which we have given an ample report this day,
are of so important a nature, in the present situa-
tion of the Country, that they will be read with a
strong interest by the People in general. The
Trial of sir C. IVOLSELEY, and HARRISON, the
Parson, which commenced on Monday, was not
concluded at a late hour that day, and it Kral
thought likely to last lunch longer.—The Counsel
for Sir C. WOLSELEY is Mr. PEARSON. FIARRisoN
defends himself, and was speaking when the
Express come off.—The Sentence of Death was
on the same day passed on 111'1 rusts and Baticß.
The case of the latter was much more favourable
than that of the former, who boldly avowed and
seemed to glory in his guilt, and if mercy can
properly be extended to Lim, he will no doubt
receive it.

IThe rebellions Proceedings in Scotland, which
have now been so happily, we trust, suppressed,.
and which must have excited anxiety in every well-
disposed loyal subject throughout the Country, are
treated by The Morning Chronicle and The Old
Times with the same coarse ribaldry, the same
pretended doubts of the extent of the danger, and
are made the same source of abuse on Government
as those malignant Papers have displayed on the
rebellious Meeting at Manchester in August last.
Wehave availed ourselves of a Letter from Glas-
gow which appears this day in the New Times,
which all good men will rejoice to hear is said
to be. " pushing from its stool " the Old Times.
This Letter fully confirms all the accounts which
we have received from the same quarter. The
poor shallow Politicians of the Morning Chronicle
and the Old Times are only capable of judging
from events ; and because the danger, as we have
reason to believe, is now over, they seem to think
that there was no danger at all, or at least none
equal to the alarm which it excited. But, sup.
posing that a simultaneous rising had taken place
in several quarters, who can tell what the
ti
result might have been ? Universal conster-
nation—the National Force.must have been em-
ployed in various directions, and in the general
confusion new bands of rebels might have corne
forward, and the ultimate issue might have been
fatal to Government. We style the Morning Chro-
nicle and Old Times shalloW Politicians, because
they have not discernment enough to see that
they would be overwhelmed in the mass of gene-
ral ruin. Not that their mischievous qualities are
not upon a level with their weakness, but they
seem.to think that if Radicalism were to become
ascendant, they would be spared on account of
their strenuous and persevering efforts to promote
the cause. They might also have vanity enough
to suppose, that -in a general insurrection they
tnight

" Ride in the whirlrind and direct the storm;"

but they are poor tame feeble Scribblers, with all
their rancour, compared with the Wool.Erts, the
HullTs, the COaBCTTS, and the host of Radical
Defamers, who have been happily checked by the
wisdom of the Legislature. The Letter from the
New Times, we can assure our Readers, is we'll-
founded, and we. feel it to be our duty to give it
increased circulation. The Magistrates and Mili-
tary in the disturbed districts in Scotland, have
acted with exemplary forbearance, as well as with
all necessary vigilance, firmness, and vigour.—
The same commendation is in all respects doe to
the Magistrates and Military of Manchester, so
basely abused by the Morning Chronicle and Old
Times; and the Scotch Magistracy and Military
must expect the same abuse in the same degraded
Journals. Tire Chronicle of this day says, '' the
panic is completely over, aA business is IIuVY

'going on as usual ;" as if the consternation witicb
prevailed, attended by a regular attack on IL6I
Military, and the bloodshed which ensued, were
a mere panic, and not too well-founded an alara4,
If " business is now going on as usual," to Mhani'
is the neighbourhood and the country indebted,
but to the active zeal and determined spirit oi
hoe Magistrates and Military who will probably
be reviled to-morrow in the Chronicle and the Old
Times, though the latter is silent this day?
we shall watch their movements, and bold (heal
up to the indignation of the Public.

PROPERTY TAN.---There is a paragraph among
our usual Extracts this day from the LONDON Jowl.
NALG, taken from the Morning Chronicle, grounded
upon a report, which has often been in circuits,
tion, and which was yesterday very prevalent id
the City, We shall not notice the shallow reageo•
ings and venomous predictions of that Paper 3 but
we have no scruple to declare that a PRovsamTsx.
duly carried into effect, and operating leoientli
upon the inferior ranks of Society, would be bighlf
beneficial to the Country, and tend much to the
reduction of its burt hens. The People in general
louk up with full confidence to the Earl of Limo
root., whatever various opinions his colleagues map
excite, and we therefore trust that the Noble Lords
with that firmness which he has always manifesto
ed in support of right principles and just mead,
sures, will bring forward such a Tax, unawo
ed by the'clamours of Party, or the objections
of Avarice, and he will eventually be rewarded
by the gratitude of his Country, the best reward
that his enlightened and liberal mind can require.

CORN-EXCHANGE, APRIL 12.—We hare not had any fresh

Monday's prices all other sorts may be considered full 11.
