FROM THE UIiIrERSAL OF JULY 1.

" On the evening of Saturday (29th ult.) when.his
Majesty went out to his promenade, a militiaman,
provoked, according to some, by the seditious cries
of a woman, or, according to others, without any
provocation, broke forth in expressions no less sedi-1
tious, which excited the displeasure of a soldier and
a drummer of the Royal guard, who gave him two
blows. This occurrence, which in any other circum-
stances would have excited no attention, was bruited
abroad in all parts of the capital, embellished, per-
-I,verted, and exaggerated in the most alarming tents.
The prompt precautions taken by the Authorities,
however, prevented the public disturbers from giving
effect to their criminal suggestions. The solemnity
of to-day (30th ultimo), and the deptrture of the
King to the Hall of the Cortes, gave occasion to
such persons to advance their objects. Imprudent
provocations on one side, and want of patience, or
even a bad spirit, on the other, cause] a conflict, not
between the corps of the guards and the people, but

t•et‘l•etha a **fry small. nainber of instigators, and
about as many soldiers; who, neglecting the voice of
their Chiefs, endeavoured to avenge w ith their arms
the insult which was offered them. This second at-
tempt had, however, no result, thanks to the activity
of the Authorities; but this evening, the lainented
death of the First Lieutenant of the Guards, Dpn
Nastiest° LondabUrn, took place, in consequence of
fresh provocation.
At this hour (nine o'clock) all is quiet; the garri-
son is under arms, and the Goaernment has taken the
necessary precautions to prevent the malcontents, both
in the capital and provinces, from executing their pur-
poses. An immediate inquiry has been ordered by
the King, into the death of Londaburu, and provi-
sion made for his children."
FItcNI THE ESPECT.MOR OF JULY 1.
" The event of Saturday, in the arcade of the Pa-
lace, which relates to the militiaman, who was pur-
sued and wounded by some drummers of the guard,
because he shouted viva: to the Constitutional King,'
gave a sad presage of the succeeding day. Accord-
ingly, at the hour appointed for the departure of his
Majesty to meet the Cortes, groups, composed of the
enemies of the Constitutional System, in whose
countenances wire observed joy and defiance, took
their station at the foot of the principal staircase.
His MajeAy descended, and at the moment of his
entering his coach these persons shouted repeatedly,
and with enthusiasm, viva el Rcy rieto (Goo save the
unadulterated or absolute King). Some of the same
gang introduced themselves tato the ranks of the
guards, and excited them to otter the same cry. At
the same time others cried out Long live the Con-
stitutional King!' One deluded per Son uttered Viva
d Rey absoluto!' and was immediately arrested by the
Authorities. This had scarcely happened,when about
eighteen or twenty soldiers of the guard approached
the group who were shouting to the Constitutional.
King, and, drawing their swords, threatened their
unarmed fellow-citizens. While this was going for-
ward his Majesty returned from the Cortes, and en-
tered his palace. The crowd was great, and the
numbers who shouted the Constitutional King in-
creased. A portion of grenadier guards attacked the
multitude, and inflicted several wounds and bruises.
The Officers exerted themselves in vain to restrain
their soldiers: their exertions deserve the highest
praise; Casasola, one of them, was trampled upon
and severely hurt, while exerting himself to maintain
order. The Captain• General, who was confined to
bed by indisposition, hearing what was going forward,
rose, mounted his horsy; and appeared at his post, and
the Political Chief spared no fatigue to restore order.
In consequence of these occurrences, the guard at the
Palace was doubled, and we have heard with horror
that the excellent First Lieutenant of the Guards, Don
Mamerto Londaburu, whose virtues and love of liberty
were well known, has been barbarously assassinated
by some of his own soldiers, whom he was endeavour-
ing to restrain."

The Kix° has been prevailed upon finally to deter-
mine to visit his Scottish dominions this summer.

His MAJESTY will. proceed thither early in August,
and will go by sea, in his yacht; for which purpose
the necessary directions were issued yesterday from
the Admiralty and the LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S office.
—Thus it would seem that the paragraph which re-
cently appeared in a Morning Paper has not been
without effect : in fact, it had in it more than met the
eye of the uninformed reader, and was not written
without due deliberation, nor published witlwtt an
imprimatur.—Morning Chronicle.

remains quiet."
Accounts from the Brazils state, that there had been some
disturbances at Pernambuco on the 6th of April, caused by the
light battalion, which, however, had been quickly suppressed by

ceira, all was quiet.
Extract of a private letter, dated Trieste, May, 14, 11122..
" We have seen arrive in our port thirty European families,
who effected their escape from the Isle of Scio; they are now
performing quarantine. According to their report the massacre
surpassed all imagination. It is ascertained that 11,000 men I
with arms in their hands were killed, and, it is added, 4000
strangled in their own houses. The women are transported to
Asia and the Christian children are to be brought up in the
Mahometan religion. After deluging the Isle of Scio with blood,
the Capitan Pasha sailed for Samos, which he has destined for
the same fate. Chourschid l'acha, who was to have accom-
plished a total extirmination, is harassed on all sides."

seriously injured ; two fine children were killed, and two women
