As it appears the sole object and attention of the Ooi
vernment at present is directed to the.abolition of the
Constitution and its effects, so all the improvements, of
whatever nature or kind, whether arising therefrom or ,
projected by the Regency, are treated in the same light,
as innovations, or a departure from the position of the.
Government as previous Eo the7th of March, 1820; and
consequently are or will be suppressed. A late decree
of his Majesty abolishes the Ministry of the Interior. ,
The Secretaries and Clerks are to return to their former
employments. By this, the Minister of Grace and Jus-
tice resumes his eontroul oser the Police, which recedes
to its former limits. One reason is assigned, and a sub-
stantial one in the present times, that of diminishing the
charges upon the Treasury. The same arguments may
be advanced for not recognizing' the loans contracted
with individuals by the Constitutionalists; besides the
inexpediency of, and the really no occasion there was
for making theta-.-which in Met are truths; for if the(
Members of the Cortes-had been disinterested, notiseeit-
ing their own private fortunes out of them, and a little
less fond of change for the mere sake of change, they
would have found sufficient money at home, without
borrowing from fitreigners.on ruinous terms.
By leaving corantoreo in the sante state in which they
found it, instead of their general prohibitions, the cus-
tom-houses would have produced them annually, or in
the three years, equal if not more than the sums bor-
rowed during that time—besides avoiding theincrea,e
of one of the greatest eras that Ifflict Spain, the con-
traband trade. Almost all the innovations of theCtittes
may be reflected upon in the same way; and let people
suppose what they will, it nevertheless is a fact, that the
country is in a much worse state from their measures
than previous thereto. Promises and benefit were held
out which were not, and in the nature of things could
net be fulfilled. The people hasebeen utideoerrtd, and
Are now glad to compound for absolutism, tranqaitlity,
and the prospect of returning to what they were before.
Under these circumstances the question of the loans, in
which so many persons are involved, becomes a most

Interesting and important one, and seems to arise up
before all others. The decrees of annihilation, the pre-
sent impoverished state of the country, and the security
the Government finds itself in of being undisturbed, do
not predict their easy recognition, and it is likely we shall
be left an indefinite time in conjecture. The Sparta
Government was never noted for its prbmptitude in
allowing claims, however just. The negociadon of
this affair will therefore, require the nicesetrainageinent.

CADIZ, OCTOBER 21.
The greatest alarm and affliction reigns amongst the
inhabitants of this. city, in consequenie '4 die ettsitraty
arrests made by the Sp-aiiish Governor Don Carlos Fabre
d'Aunoy. Testerday General Litre; Military Coin-
mandant of Cadie during the siege, Was arrested, also
the Duke del Parque, notwithstanding the promises that
had been made to them. However, last night, at eleven
o'clock, Count de Bourmant sent to the Governor, to
request that be would come to him. On his'arrival, he
asked hith from whom' dinenated the ordeit in collie&
quehce of which he had Made these arbitierfitrettia'
The Goviernor replied, that it was in virtue of s secret,
orders lie had received to that effect. Count Bout-
mont required to see those orders ; the Governor
-refused to shew them. count Bou'rznoht then de-
clared that he should brit peitlit a repetition of such
arrests, unless he saw speeific orders fir* so doing,
signed by his Majesty, and that if in two hours he did
not receive a positive explanation iii writing, he %honk'
order the Governor to quit the town. The latter replied
that he would execute the secret orders.he had received
without communicating them to him (the tount), and
that he would not quit the town unless by fOrce. At
four o'clock in the morning Count liourmont sent a de-
tachment of forty grenadiers to the Governor's house,
with orders, to contloct bins eittside the gates of the
town, which was aecortlitigly executed. It is iinpo' tsi-

Yesterday the LORD Mairoft and Cite Officers, with
the usual retinue, proceeded to the Exchequer in star.
At an early hour every avenue leadin.; us Grs!lc::.allisi,
was crowded. At half-past eleven, the Lou.: N/ ayor
(Alderman Wain-miss) ari ivied at Guildhall in his psi- •
vote carriage, followed by the 11 e LORD Nla von, and
entered the Hall. At twelve o'clock, continued cheering
announced the arrival of Alderman Wnon, who drove
up in his private carriage, and mediAtely after the
state-carriage was drawn up in front of Guildhall, by
six beautiful bay hihses, and teas followed by the lag
Lord Mayor's private-carriage drawn by six dark bays
beautifully decorated with scarlet and white ribands.
'the hirness worn by the horses in the state cal nage was
quite plain, with heavy brass buckles. Shun after twelve,
the men in armour, and a number of beautiful horses
to corm the procession, arrived. A number of City
officers and special constables lined the way between
cullhall and the gridge, At it little more !lima half-
iit"tWelve, the. Loen—Attvoste entered the .state-ear-
nage, accompanied by the Sword-bearer.ansi.Chaplain,
and the. Procession Moved slowly on. At Eisuq-lane,
the Goldsmiths Company, with a band of !I:entwined
the Procession, which moved on to she east Ade of
ißlackfriais'-sbridge, where the LORD MAYOltalighted,
`and embarked on board die City-barge. The brass
hale armour seemed to attract the greatest degree of
•public attention; it had a very splendid appearance.
The coat of mail is superb, as is ;he spear and trun-
cheon: there is a whole shoe of bras (solid), aud brass
stirrups to the saddle; every point pi e.ents a lion's head,
neatly worked ; the helmet is remarkable lor good %ork-
manship. There is a rising leaf in tie centre, support-
ing a rich plume of feathers, and on the sides vat Sous
inscriptions. The armour contains 7,000 scales, etclu-
sive of the points. On the shield is the Rose, Shams ock,
and Thistle, covering its surface, and its dimension is
small. The horse's bridle was also studded with ro,,ei.tes,
which gave it a very brilliant appearance. At halt-past
three the Procession was again observed returning d •wn
the river. The sudden sharp firing announced the ar-
rival, and his Lordship disembarked; it was with diffi-
culty he could ascend the steps for the crowd. At the
Obelisk, Bridge-street, the Procession was joined by the
Anabassadors, Judges, and Members, who had been in-
vited to the banquet at Guildhall; and at the corner of
King-street, the LADY hlaxonass, who cause from the
Mansion-house, joined the Procession in a most splendid
private-carriage.
THE DINNER.
At half-past four o'clock the clangor of trumpets an-
winced the approach of the new LORD MAYOR to
Guildhall. He immediately afterwards entered,
_pre-
ceded by the Sword and Mace-bearer, and attendee by.
the usual City Officers. The LADY
,MAYORE 8 kept,
her state in the Council Chamber, where the Doke of
&melt, and several pater vihitUrs of. rank, were ultra-
dUCed to her. At six o'clock the Loan MAYOR pm-
ceeded from the Council Chamber to the Hall, which
was most brilliantly illuminated. 'file tippet end of the.
Hall was ornamented with a splendid (down ; the lower.
end with a vivid and beautifully Froportioned sum, each
formed of gas. Two large,_and.one smallgas.chande-
her, depended from the roof. Tasteful testtiiiiis of leas
were disposed along the walk; and; at a considerable
distance belbw the festoons, Waren it'As lustre's Shed a

Dr. Lushington, Count Pecchio, Al. Schlegel, &c.
The company having partaken of a banquet, which
comprised the most delicate and costly viands, the
LORD MAYOR rose, and drank the health of the as-
sembly, assuring thest that they were most heartily
.welcome.—(Apseause.) .
His Lordship then proposed the health of se Thet,
'KING," With three, times three, which was received with
shouts of enthusiasm,
Song, " GOD save the King."
The LORD MAYOR then rose and observed, that the
toast which he was about to give would, he was certain
be hailed by the acclamations of the whole company.
However some individuals might affect to consider the
proceedings of this day as a mere matter of show and
pageantry, it was evident that their ancestors did not
view it in that light. They looked upon the free election
of the first Magistrate-of the City, of London, and won
his solemn inauguration, as ntattets of deep imporAance,
and most intimately connected with the preservation of
their rights and liberties—(Arplause). Kings batl.lll4

effects for the people—(Apptause). His Lordship then
expressed the great satisfaction he felt at the numerous .
ittendance of the Learned Judges, and concluded 'by
proposing The health of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex," with three times threes—The toast was
received with enthusiasm. .1
The Duke of Suasitz, in returning thanks for the hmi i

to be called on to say something of hhuself, because he'
must either speak in self-commendation, or else avoid.

case many would inst.:rep, he inclined to suppose that'
he had no merits which he could bring to public view—
. (Applause). To Lis fellow-citizens he retailed his best
acknoeledgmenis fur having raised him to an office of.
so notch import-eller and he was mere particularly
gratified by the very prompt and honourable manner
in which he was elected—(elppleure). It was a matter
of high satisfaction far him to find, after a long series
of exertions in the cause of the people—after a long
struggle in support of those popular principles which
he should always maintain—after all the false asser-
tions and unfcunded calumnies which had been thrown
out against him—it was a matter of high satisfaction,
on the day of his election, to see himself surrounded in
that Hall by as large an assearblage as he believed it
ever contained, front whom not a whisper of censer e, not
a murmur of disapprobation w as lieard to fail (Applause).
He had been on the present day apprised by one of the
learned Judges of the high and important duties he was
celled on to perform. He well understood the nature
of those duties, but still he was glad the learned Judge
had called his attention to them; because he thought
that he could not be too often reminded of their flag-
eitoide. He felt the responsibility of his situation, and
he {also felt that the manner in which the office had been
bestowed on him rendered it still mote imperative that
he should attend sedulously ro the performance of- its
various duties—(Applause). It was therefore his firm
ieteation to devote all his mind, all his exertions, all his
application, to the discharge of the functions with which
he had been entrusted, in order to preserve unimpaired
that geod opinion which his fellow-citizens were kind
enough to entertain of him—(Applause). He knew the
difficulties that were connected with the situation; but
he trusted that he should he found constantly using
every exertion in his power to preserve all the rights,
privileges, and humanities of tire City of London ; 'at
the same time that he took care never to thrget the liber-
ties of the People, irons whom all power emanatede--
(Applause). It was by the extent of public liberty, and
by tire tree exercise el public opiuion, that the country
had risen to its pi e.L•eilt eminence ; and he hoped ir would.
continue to maiatain that enviable eminence over the
surrounding countries—(applause). He most sincerely
thanked his fellow-citizens for the good opinion they
entertained of him. They had imposed on him a most
important task, and by his correct performance of it he
would endeavour to procure that good opinion which
he prized so highly.
Toast—* The Wooden Walls of Old England," with three
times three.
Tune—" Rule Britannia." -
Tire LORD MAYOR said he rose to propose a toast,
which, he was sure, the company would drink most
cordially. Feeling that impression, it was unnecessary
that he should detain them by any preliminary obser-
vations. The toast he alluded to was the health of his
predecessor in office. That Gentleman had discharged
the duties of his office in a manner that gave perfect sa-
tisfaction to those who came immediately in contact
with him, toad which was not less agreeable to his fel-
low-citizens at large. Ile should, therefore, without
further preface, propose
" The health of the late Lord Mayor," with three times three. •
The toast was received with much applause.
Alderman HEYOATE shortly returned thanks; after
which he proposed
" The health of the Lady Mayoress and the Ladies," with
three times three.
The toast was drank amidst the most lively applause.
The Loan Mayon lose to express to the company
his grateful thanks for this additional mai k of kind-
recs. lie could assure those whom he had the honour
of addressing, that the Lady Mayoress would make
every exertion to please and satisfy those individuals who
might be induced, flora time to time, to partake of
civic he y.
The Lorin MAYOR then proposed " The health of my
Lords the Judges."
The Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT briefly returned
thanks on behalf of himself and his learned brethren.
Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT then proposed " The
health of the late. Lady Mayoress," w ith 3 times three.
Alderman I IEYCiA TE returned thanks.
The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of Lord
Nugent"—on whose constittitineal and isatriotic l tinci-
-I'les he pronounced a vet y high eulogiom.
Lord NU'.IENT, in returning thanks, cengraitilseed
the City on having selected for their Chief Magistrate
so independent and indefatigable an individual.
The health of the lien. H. G. Bernet was then given,
with tin ee titres three.
Mr. BENNET expressed his acknowledgements with
ardent manifestations of regard for the Lord Ma) or.
" Sir .lames Mackintosh."
Sr JAMES rose immediately to congratulate the City
on its choice of a Chief Magistrate. It was a proud day
for the Corporation of London. It had now risks head
a man, whose consistency, independence, and public
spirit, for a long series of years had heed put to the se-
verest test, and had never been found w anting. Long
might they thus clearly discern their true interests, and
in return possess the protection of a Nlaeistracy pure
and disinterested in ptieciplc, firm and inflexible in at-
tachment to their civil and religious liberty—(Applause).
The LORD MAYOR then proposci " The healths of the
Sheriffs. Messrs. WHITTAKER and LAURIE."
Mr. Wurrreeeet.—My Lord Mayor, I am much in-
debted for the honour which you have done me. In
taking upon myself this office, I could have had no
other object than the wish of a closer intercourse with
my fellow-citizens, and could desire no other reward
than their approbation. No man can be more fully
aware of tune diligence and vigour, the manly spirit and
teddy knowledge, necessary to the perforniance of my

!office; Lilt I till pledze myself to one more essential,
than them all, and that is a sialous intritt;on. 'As tol
PPlitics. (of which something haq.been said), I have of,
course my• own feelings, at' every man ought to have
in this free country ; for Milong as the men. of England
think for themselves, so long. will the liberties 4
Err2,land live, and when they•pelish, may we perish to-1
getl Bat 1 sliseli not forget, that if independence of hearts
rre -amongst the first principles of the citizen, the first
duty of the Magistrate is impartiality. My Lord, 1'
now beg-to offer my congratulations upon the happy ,
unanimity of this day, and the presence ofso many per-
sons distinguished by their country, of so many of our
l
kind and iespected fellow-citizens, and, tho Ugh last,:
first in all our feelings, of that splendid assemblage of,
be.inty which has this day made, as long may it make,
the honour and ornament of our festivity.

Mr: Sheriff LAURIE professed himself highly conwli-
meated by the kindness with which the announcement
of his health-and that of his worthy colleague had been
received. fie felt highly honoured by the situation
which i.e held; and he should endeavour to evince his
sense of that honour by doing everything whilst in office
to promote the beneficent intentions of his fellow-citizens
and protect their best rights—(App/ausej.
The Lotto MAyoa proposed the health of the Com-
mon Serjeant; which was drank with loud applause.
The Commog SERJEANT begged to return his thanks
for the honour done him, which was not leks gratifying
than unexpected. He was proud of the situation lie
held in the Corporation, and he rejoiced to see that of his
Right Honourable Friend, who had acquired the situa-
tion by the uprightness of his conduct and the esteem
of his fellow-citizens.

The Duke of SUSSEX proposed as a toast, " Prospe-
iity to the City of London, and the trade thereof," which
was drank with loud applause.
The company were so numerous, and some of them
so unruly, that considerable disorder took place on their
retiring to Council Chamber. The barriers were
broken through ; several persons were knocked down,
and considerable havoc followed among the china wares.
At length Mr. Sheriff LAUMS addressed the crowd, and
after remonstrating with.them' on their conduct, suc-
ceeded in restoring order.
The Ball, which succeeded, was kept up to a late hour
with much spirit.

The new attempt on the past of Spain to bring her
South American Colonies again under subjection, na-
turally enough excites alarm among the monied men
who have embarked their capital in Loans to the Re-
publics ; for although we think there is no prospect of
Spain preventing their independence, yet the payment
of the. Loans may be long delayed by the expense which
a new war against them must occasion. Of the right
of Spain to recover her lost possessions there can be no
doubt'; but the policy is very questionable, and the
prospect of success more than doubtful. But that is her
affair, and not ours. Our opinions on the subject were
stated yesterday; and a contemporary of this morning
takes the same view, in the following observations:

" To the South American States we wish all. imaginable pro-1
sperity : but we really do not see what business we have with the
quarrel between them and their mother countries. Let the Portu-
guese, if they please, send another expedition to Bahia ; or the 1
Spaniards send one to Peru. Let the Continental Powers hold a
Congress, if they plea*, to settle any abstract question on the obe-4

. . _
dience due from a distant Colony to a Power which is utterly un-
able to afford it any protection. Our business is to attend to our
own concerns, to husband our resources, and to maintain an im-
movable neutrality until British interests are attacked—•then woe to
the assailant !—Meanwhile we shall gain more by one year of peace
than all the Continental Powers would by ten years of war ; if we
could suppose them all so insane as to unite their forces for the
purpose of conquering South America —a notion which no wise man
will for a moment entertain."
' The folloAing letter from Paris states very confidently
the force to be employed by Spain, but we suspect it is
overrated, and I have much doubt that Morimin will
have die command of the expedition.
s The vessels of war already mentioned as about to sail from
Cadiz, arc to be 'augmented by two other frigates and three cor-
vettes;:mad transports are to be hired or purchased' in the different
ports of Europe (as theSpanisk Government may be able to raise
money), for the conveyance of 20,000 infantry, and 2,000 ca-
valry, to South America. Morillo (the old campaigner hi that
country) is to have the command; and those Spanish soldiers are
to be selected who have already served in that part of the world,
and are therefore seasoned to the climate. This will answer the ad-
ditional purpose,'of removing from Spain those troops whOse stay at
home might prove inconvenient ; and the tranquillity of the coun-
try, it is supposed, may be safely intrusted to the French. The
expedition, it is intended, will proceed in the first instance to
Havannah, hi order to form a junction with Geceral Morales
and his army, which it is calculated may amount to 2,500 men.
Cuba being established as the centre of operations, the choice of the
country to be first attacked will be left to.the Commander-in-Chief;
but it is supposed that Mexico will be the scene of the first attempt,
both from hi vituvnity, and because in that country Span will fiod
very powerful auxiliaries in the aristocracy and the priesthorid.
Spain is to offer what she may think a bribe to the other !redone of
Europe, by issuing a manifesto or state document, in which it is to
be announced, that she will admit foreigners, to a certain eitent, Cc
participate in the commerce of those Countries, declaring her own
objects fully attfined by recovering the sovereignty over them."

This morning we received Frankfort Papers to the
'sth inst. The following itre extracts : • •
NUREMBURG, NOVEMBER t. •
. Accounts from Vienna of 'the 28th, inform ni; -that

is generally asserted,
_that the differences between the
Porte and Russia ate adjusted, and that all European'
vessels, without exceptiont are to be hni.:clorth at libeiNty
tv,spaa the Bosphorus, to and from the Black Sea: It
tv4;ld'be.highly advantageous to the trade of foreighers
Z.thts should prove to be the case, but nothing has yet
°centred to confirm it; for not ocly the vessels of
unprivileged.nations are not allowed to pass through
the Bosphorus, but even the ships of those nations to
whom the navigation of the Black Sea is guaranteed by
solemn treaties, are detained and searched in the most
arbitrary manner. The meacure ordered by the Divan,
to unload foreign vessels, continues to be executed, and
it is only by payment of large sums, that some Captains
succeed in escaping it. It is promised that this abuse
shall soon be put an end to; but will the promise be kept?
The latest letters from Turkey state that the Captain
Pacha's fleet has entered the Dardanelles, to return to
Constantinople. They do not mention any engagement
between the Greek and Turkish fleets. The latter has
thrown supplies of provisions and troops into the for-
tresses and castles which the Turks still possess in so:»e
of the islands. A fermentation still prevails among the
Janissaries at Constantinople, but a• open mutiny has,
yet taken place.
The squadron of the Pacha of Egypt has returned
from the coast of Sandia to Alexandria. The chief
places in the island are held by the Pacha's troops, who
are amply provided with everything necessary, and
may hold out a long time.. The Pacha exerts all his
efforts to prevent the fortresses from falling into the
hands of the Greeks, as the island is now annexed to his
Government. The whole of the open country and the
mountains are, however, now in the power of the Greeks.
Letters have been received from Verona, whickfully
confirm the preceding accounts of the dreadful devas-
tations which -have ensued beyond the Brenner,. and as
far as Verona, in consequence of heavy rains, and the
melting of the snow► in the mountains, by south winds.

Hamburgh Papers to the sth instant reached us this
morning. One of them contains the following article
on the subject of Spain, which is quoted as from one Of
the Netherland Journals :

When, in 1822, the Cortes introduced a Grand Livre
on the plan of the French, their intention was thereby to
simplify the financial system, to dispense themselves for
the moment from the repayment of the capitals, and
lastly, to concert into a perpetual annuity the older
paper currency which they had recognised (and for the
payment of which sums were assigned in the budget),
Among this old paper are the loans raised by Spain in
Holland. According to the deerees of the Cortes, al
considerable amount of these Dutch bonds was delivered
to the Cortes—they were immediately annulled, and
the owners received instead five per cent. bonds'
according to a certain proposition. The question, is'
how the rights of those persons are to be secured, who'
confiding in the legitimacy of the Sparribh Goaernment,
have purchased web bonds of the Dutch debt and have
exchanged them for five per cent. perpetual annuities,
which King Ferdinand's ordonnance has now declared
null and void."

The Paris Papers of Saturday, with the Etoik of
Sunday, and accounts from Bayonne to the 2d instant,
have been received. The latter, on the authority of a
letter from Seville, of the 22d October, says, " It is re-
ported that Ballasteros is arrested; this seems very pro-.
bable." The following extracts- are from-the Paris
.
Journals:
