as w'.ll as Al tl!e other—Min/s4rs, had regnired the
Spani.lt Cabinet to explain its intentions tespecting its
Arrerican possessions, and that the Ambassador of,
France had demanded tilwayment of the amount of,
the two first instarments'dne to the French, insinuating,
that othereise the French Government might very likely
resolve to withdraw its troops.
If the most complete agreement and the most singu-
lar conformity did not prevail between the Journals
whicl, have gisen these news, how could it happen that
they united in uttering facts which are false. in terms
that are nearly identical ? If it is to give them informa-
tion in this manner that they, pay a correspondent at
Madrid, they might very well save themselves this ex-
pen•e, since lie for lie, it would be m re easy and less
expensive to fabricate them at Paris themselves.

" Several letters from Madrid announce the arrival of
an express in that city coming from Gailcia, with the
news that the English Company which has undertaken
to seek for the silver on board the vessels stink at Vigo,

"DECREE DISAPPROVING ThIC CONDUCT OF TUE PRE•
S/DENT OP THE PROVINCE OP DIARANHILM TOWARDSI

TILE EDITOR OF THE JOURNALreALLED" THE GEES JR7

" The dispatch. of the President of Maranham, dated
June 4, has been laid before his Majesty the Emperor,
in u Mich he relates the conduct he had pursued with J.
A. Garcia de Ahranches, Editor of the Journal called
the Censor, at length forcibly embanking him for Lis-
bon ; and so rash and unauthotized an act being by no
means justified bT what is stated in the aforesaid dis-
patch /elating to the sentiments published in the above-
mentioned Journal, notwithstanding they seem to tend
to destroy established order, and much less so by the
motive alleged of the said Editor having attacked the
conduct of the Marquis de Maranham (Lord Cochrane),
as if it were forbidden by law to censure him ; his Ma-
jesty hat, consequently, thought proper to disapprove
of a prneeeding so unjust, and one that discovers in him
who carries it into execution, either a perfect ignorance
of the legal forms applicable in similar cases, or a cri-
minal d• termination to trample under foot rights gua-
ranteed by the Con.titution ; and he, therefore, com-
mands that,-through the medium of the Secretary of
State for the affairs of the Empire, the same should be
made known to the aforesaid President, at the same
time reprimanding him very severely for having con-
ducted himself, in this aff4ir, in such a manner as could
only meet the approbation of a Government actuated
by self-will alone, and not by regard for the laws.

The greatest consternation prevails in the City this morning,
owing to the stoppage of payment of the Banking.bouse of Sir
Prima Pots, TUORNTOX, and Co. in Bartholomew-lane. They
cleared everything on Saturday evening, but stopped this morning.
Their connection is very large with country Banks. In come.
queries of the above disaster, Consols opened at es; for the Ac•
count, and were done at 84g ; and are now at Ha a. The above
failur► has caused a general alarm IO Oil City.
An Express has arrived front- Nail, end it is said the Three per
Cents. come lower.

In the Foreign Market things are lower, but not in proportion
to the fall of Consols.
