Letters from Berlin of the 14th instant state, that on the
preceding day a tumult of a very formidable nature occurred
In that city. About 300 individuals of the working classes—
by what motives impelled, or by whom instigated, is not
koown—suddeoly made an attack on the guard-boulse, which
was occupied at the time by not more than 80 soldiers. It
w is not till two or three detachments of the military bad been
brought against then hat the insurgents Were reduced to
submission, when several of the ringleaders were secured
and thrown into prison. The same afternoon Baron •de
Hombobit had an audience of the King, which lasted three
hours. -By letters of the IGth, trim the same place, we
learn that M. Jahn has been sentenced to imprisonment for
life by the Court appointed to try him ; hut that the King, in
recollection of former services, has remitted the punishment
ot iminisontment fur 10 years,
.and subsequent banishment
from the Pt ussian territory. M. Jahn about 50 years of
age. Two secretaries of the War-office at Berlin, who bad
quitted theii functions without ponaission, and bad received
public notice in the Gazette to resume them, both committed
suici.:e in the. neighbourhood of Altona. The reasons for
the act are not given.

"SPANISH Ate enicens—Wheu, in the year 1814
My arrival its the Capital of Imperial Spain was
tiOnounced, fatality induced ti,e restoration of
certain institutions which long and confirmed ha-
hi's bad caused us to regard as superior to
()fiers, which, being more ancient, were irrecon-
eilahle to existing prejudices, and rould not be
modified in any distinct forms. The unhappy ex-
perience of six years, , and the disgraceful evils
which went on accumulating by those means
which were deemed likely -to produce universal
happiness—the general complaints of the people
in both hemispheres, and their energetic demon-
str.ations, coovineed tue of the necessity of re-
(toeing back to that line from which we had in-
catitiously deviated ; and seeing that the general
`wish of the Nation, impelled by that principle
!leehich bad distinguished and elevated it on the
great stage of the world to that height which
it should hold among other nations, induced me
to adopt those sentiments, identifying myself most
sine. rely and cordially with them, and caused rue
to adopt, recognise, anti swear to, according to a
spontaneous preposition, the Constitution formed
in Cadiz by the General and Eetreortlinary Cortes,
and proclaimed in that City in March, 1512.
Nothing can possibly exceed my satisfaction at
lie universal relating which took place ; and the
real heroic generosity of the people, who are sus-
ceptible of errors but nut of crime, will quickly
ohliciaie the recollection of past evils. The Spa-
niards at this day present a spectacle for admire-
, tioo to all Europe, solemnly pledging themselves
to their Constitutional System, whicl, justly esti-
mates the reciprocal duties bet ween the Nation
811(i the Throne. A State so securely poised, anti
toweled on the most durably basis, on which are
bottoind alike true liberty and public credit, pro-
mising that the. new Institutious shall find their
best security in favourable and permanent scsul-s,
comliining the improved sate of science with the
dictates of sound policy, and establishing the mi-
litat y and naval strength of to Net ion on principles
which will render it the most effectually appli-
cable as circumstances shall require, and bidding;
fair to restore in all things that respect and con-
sideration which we have lost.
A new flood of light is shed across both
Spanish hemispheres, and nothing cen exceed the
refulgent brightness which already illumines, or
tile ardour which is felt from the sacred fire of
patriotbm. 1 congratulate myself as tbe {list to
feel this sweet and geherous emotion; 1 also exult
in having to announce it ; and I exhort you to
haste to enjoy such immense benefits, by accept-
ing and swearing to a Constitution which is
framed for the felicity of you and yours. 1 affirm
to you, 1 sacrifice nothing, when 1 feel that, by
coofi tuieg this fundamental law, 1 shall Secure
your happiness ; and, though it might be pro-
ductive .of evil to me, I should equally have ace
quiesced, persuaded that the honour of Majesty
should weigh as nothing when placed in competi-
tion with the public good.
" Americans T you have greatly deviated from"
she line of your true interest—you feel by this
time what your misconduct has cost you—those
immense fatigues—those perils without end, san-
guinary wars, ft ightful devastations, and the ex.
treinities of all evils. Nothing has • resulted to
you but tears and griets, turbulence and heart-
burnings, cruel imprisonments, starvation, des
structions by fire, devastation, min unheard of
horrors—results which will but entail disgrace
upon- you to future generations. What can you
hope from such ? Ileer the soothing voice of your
King and fat her. Expel that disquietude and
restless distrust which agitate you, dud replace
those in your bosom by affectionate and gene-
routs sentiments. No longer regard vengeance as
a virtue, nor odious animosity as an obligation.
The two hemispheres have nothing inherent
in them to prohibit lasting and reciprocal friend-
ships; nor is it in nature that you, who are true
brothers, can be enemies. You speak but
the sante language—you profess but the same re-
,heahossa'eillealll,"yvos 151

virtues--virtues the true
adhere to the sat Tee
sailie
are adorned by
offspring of valour, of generosity, and the su-
preme elevation of great souls. Renew with the
Mother Country those eelatious, which, for three
centuries, your progenitors, the favoured children
of victory, have laboured to establish. Renew
also those reciprocal relations whisk the new
lights of the day, amid the system of a Represen-
tative Government, require. Throw aside your
arms, and cease that destructive welfare which
has occasioned so many terrible evils, which must
be recorded in history in lei ters of blood. With
arms so wielded the lives of kindred individuals of
the same families must be sacrificed—sacrifices
which must involve self-desperation and self-ab-
horrence 1 The universal Netion actuated by try
wishes, and will enable me by, all its means to
triumph without violence' over those obstacles
which but prolong a re-ssel public calamity. We
have adopted a system mere ample in its principles,
and conformable to those Which you your-
selves have wished for ; our distinctive character
directs the reciprocal'observanee of a frark and
loyal conduct, opposed to that of a mistalvti and
too cunning policy, which by its. tale and intri-
cate combinations Call but seldom hope tor fa-
vourable results. The Mother Country gives you
the example; follow it, Atnericans, it will but
insure your present andiuture felicity ; give to
the Mother Country a ground of hope, that in an
age so pregnant with great and extraordinary
events, the love ,of order and the general good
accords with all your wills, and results front your
uniform ()pinions.
" The Cortes, whose name alone is a favoura-
ble pledge of important benefits and successes
for all Spaniards, is about to assemble. Your
brothers of the Peninsula anxiously hope, with
extended arms, for the accomplishment of their
wishes in your basting to fraternize, to unite
in conference with them as equal subjects, on
those remedies which the necessities of the
country nquire, and of your own pesticides-
ly ; the security of your persons is wive united
by the laws of National honour. and which
sacred code the country has sworn in face of
the universe religiously to observe. Rtunie,

therefore, with the frttl,ers of the country. ca3ci-
liate wise predilections of the people, contribute
to the safety of the State, fix for ever the happy
de•stinties of the two worlds, and chile yourselves,
above all, to that immortal crown which is con-
fc►red by the blessings of a grateful posterity !
What benefits, what felicity, will not this much-
desired union produce! Commerce, agriculture,
industry, science, and art, will flourish with un-
precedented brilliancy in this happy country,
and universal undisturbed tranquillity, the
precious offspring of mutual concord. Jus-
tice and policy alike prescribe this Condoct ;
and a Constitutional Government, common to
all, in which nothing unjust or arbitrary can
exist, will elevate us to the highest pitch of
prosperity to which man is capable of attain-
hug. But it those salutary counsels, given from
the receises of my heart, and if that true
.and friendly band which your dear country
holds out to you—this country, Which has pro-
duced so many of your fathers, and which has
the authority to prescribe—be not attended to,
you will have to fear all those evils which the
furor of a civil war produce—all those evils which
accrue to a State, destituted of its natural and
legitimate Government, and which result from
the insidious seductions of ambitious men, who
promote Che horrors of anarchy, with the view of
wresting into their hands the Sceptre of Govern-
ment ; those unprincipled despoilers, unknown
adventurers ; those foreign intruders, who seek
eai•nestly for occasions to sow the germs of dis-
cord and confusion—who endeavour but to divide,
and divide hut to dominate : iu fine, ell the
horrors and convulsions which States suffer in the
most violent crisis, produced by the effervescence
of conflicting political principles and passions,
will await you ! And then you will feel all those
terrible effects to be expected from national indig-
nation and a justly offended Government—a Go-
vernment most strong and powerful when sup-
ported by the people, and directed according
to the principles which actuate them. Oh ! may
such a moment of inconsiderate, obstinacy never
art ive ! Never ; for the poignant grief which it
must create could, but for a short interval, be
borne by your tender and indulgent Father,
" FERDINAND."

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1820.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Sunday last. The Chamber of Peers assembled on
Saturday, when the two Projets respecting the
Financial Accounts, agreed to by the Chamber of
Deputies, were presented by the Minister of Fi-
nance. They were ordered to be printed, and
referred to the Bureaux, and to be either
discussed or referred to a special Committee on
Tuesday, to which day the Chamber adjourned.
The Chamber of Deputies were occupied with the
consideration of its own interior regulations, and
afterwards with the discussion of the Projet re-
specting the Custoins, which was adjourned till
Monday.—The following are Extracts :
" PARIS, APRIL 23.—Yesterday the Duke sic
Fernan Nunez, the Spanish Ambassador, pre-
sented to the King, at a private audience, his
letters of recall. His Majesty transacted business
with the Duke de Richelieu and the Marquess de
Latour Maubourg.
";The Committee on the Election Projet have
appointed M. Laing to be their President.
" The Spanish Ambassador takes his departure
in the course of next week.
" The Commission of the Chamber of Peers
again examined witnesses yesterday relative to the
case of Loovel.

" M. tle Vatistninil, one of the substitutes of
the Procureur General, did not make his report
on Thursday to the Chamber of Correction, re-
specting the affair of the subscription called
National, as stated in a Paper of yesterday, by
mistake.

" Several Journals have contradicted the state-
ment of the arrest of M. Chevalier, which was
originally given in the Censeur.
" M. Brissot Thivars, bookseller, was arrested
on Friday by virtue of a,mandat from the Juge
d'lnstruction, Delabaie, and conveyed by a Huis-
sicr to the Palace of Justice, where he was
guarded by gendarmes for five hours. M. Brissot
Thivars was interrogated respecting the apercus
tristoriques which was seized on Friday at his
house; he was then imtnctliately set at liberty.
" This day M. de Noguera, the New Secretary
of the Spanish Embassy, takes charge of the At-
fairs of Spain et Paris.
" Accounts irons Madrid of the 15th instant
state, that the Government has addressed a Pio-
clama ion to the Inhabitants of Spanish America.
