Accounts from Xeres de la Frontera, of the 24 say

they died crying, " The Constitution for ever." The
intriguing party exert all their efforts at Court to pre-
vent the King from issuing an anmesty, on which,
however, he does not think any more. Thus tl new

nothing to remedy the evils that oppress the kingdom.

TheTganization of the Royal Volunteers is going on
rapidly in Spain. 7141—e—iiniiiia oncalTihnsikitiointed
a Special Commission, .charged with the enrolling and-

Commission has addressed a Circular to thaMayors:of,
Districts and the Curates- Of i'mishes,c4lling upon thim
to return, with all possible expedition, -Rai of the inha-
bitants, from the age of twenty to fifty inclusive. The
only exceptions are persons already inscribed -on the
muster-rolls of the Royal- Volunteers, or who may no-
tify their wish to be so inscribed, paupers and ecclesiaitics.
These lists are to be used in fixing a tax,which is t.be
apportioned to the means of each inhabitant, and ap-
plied to cover the expense of arming and equipping the
volunteers. The tax Ns ill be purely 'voluntary, and no
person will be compelled to contribute. The'cOnstriis-,

and the necessity of consolidating the throne of Fa&

ing an imposing national force, will prove powerful mo:

minot is oh the point of setting out for Constantinople;
it Ambassador. As. this. honour hay been forced
tiros him Isy Wiser a curious and loak-contrived stra-
tagem, the history of it may not be uninteresting.
Whilst General Guilleminot was in Spain, a ques-
tion arose in the Council of State relative to the no-
mination of an Ambassador at Constantinople—a place
that had been a long time vacant. M. de Villele wrote
to the Duke d'Angoulenie, stating that the Ministers
did not wish to fill up this important post without
first ascertaining it-his Royal Highness did not wish to'
-name some of his friends. The Duke mentioned the
offer to GetkeralGnilleminot, who replied that, having,
never been employed as Ambassador, he was not
sore that its functions would suit him. 44 No matter,"
said All* Prince, 4! I shall put your name upon the
list ; and if you should be chosen it will be still time
enough to refuse." General Guilleminot was accord-
ingly put upon the list, together with General Bour-
desoult and .another, and thus the Commander-in-
Chief and the Major-General were out-generalled by
Ministerial manoeuvring. When the Duke and General
Guilleminot wished afterwards to avoid this nomina-
tion, the Minister appeared to be quite astonished, and
declared that it had taken place only in 'consequence of
the. desire manifested by his Royal Highness; and
added, that at present it was too late to revoke it, for,
as the Journals had; made a party affair of it, the Mi.
sister would have the air of yielding, and making a
concession derogatory of his dignity."
