MADRID, JULY 23.

It is said that the Government, desiring to place
the army which is assembling in Catalonia under
the command of an experienced General, who shall
be exclusively occupied with the direction of the ml.
litary operations, thinks of appointing General Es-
poz y Mina to that important post.
The King has been pleased to accept the resigna-
tion tendered by Don Nicolas Gareli of his office of
Minister of Grace and Justice. The department of
Secretary of State is confided, ad interim, to Senor
Ilsuz, the chief Officer in that department, and that
of Grace and Justice to Senor La Santa.—Universe!.

Orders have been given by the Government to
exile from the capital thirteen or fourteen persons,
dismissed from their employment ; among whom are,
the Count de Torre Musquinez, D. J. Mosquera y
Figuerosa, Trancisco de Lelia; and D. Bruno Valla-
vino, D. Philip Sobrado, D. Maria de Segovia, for-
merly Councillors of the King; and D. Clement de
Cavia, Secretary of the abolished Inquisition. Orders
have also been given to the Ecclesiastical Vicar of
Madrid, to send away immediately to their respec-
tive Churches, all the Canons who have come with
the royal permission, if it has already expired, or as
soon as it shall expire ; and especially those who have
came without permission, as is the case of D. Jose
Manuel &coveda and D. Tomas Gonzalez, who are
ordered to quit Madrid in twenty-four hours.

We know also, that the strictest examination is set
on foot for the purpose of removing immediately
from Nladrid various other persons, wh• it is more
proper should reside elsewhere.— Universe!.
Some of the Deputies to the Cortes, residing in this
capital have addressed a long and energetic repre-
sentation to the permanent Deputation of the Cortes.
They complain that though a fortnight has elapsed
since the cause of the country obtzined a most splen-
did triumph over a most formidable plot, nothing
has yet been done to secure the fruits of the victory.
If, say they, the enemies of the Constitution had
triumphed, the most detestable institutions favourable
to despotism would have been established, the prisons
filled with the innocent, and the scaffolds dyed with
the blood of the virtuous.

The Patriots have triumphed, and the germ of the
conspiracy subsists--its agents and favourers are in-
triguing anew ; and all, encouraged by impunity,
animated by a spirit of revenge, labour with double
ardour, with more caution, and perhaps with more
certain hopes of an approaching victory. The good
look on themselves as marked for victims, the pro-
vinces fear new attacks, and these distrusts and just
fears presage a violent c•)mmotion, which it is neces-1
sary to prevent. Those who subscribe to this repre-
' sentation would be wanting in their most sacred duty
if they did not declare to the Permanent Deputation
that it is time to put an end to so many misfortunes,
and to avert greater disasters by obliging the execu-
tive Government to appoint, without delay, a Minis-
try which may merit the confidence of all Spaniards,
and insure the public tranquillity. The present Mi-
nisters do not enjoy this confidence; their want of
foresight, their disingenuousness even to the Cortes
themselves, which, with excessive generosity, invested
them with unlimited power when they did not con-
descend even to answer the remarks and questions
addre4sed to them in public and private sittings by
some of the undersigned Deputies* have eaused the

whole nation to regard them with suspicion and
contempt.

The undersigned, as the Journals of the Congress
prove, foresaw the evils over which a triumph has
happily been obtained, though hitherto without any
fruit; they foresee from the same causes greater
disasters, and lay them open to the permanent De-
putation, demanding a speedy and efficacious remedy.
They know that the regulations confine within very
narrow limits the attributes of the permanent Depu-
tation: but these extraordinary cases cannot be fore-
seen by the law ; and it must not be forgotten, that
the first of all laws is the safety of the People.

The permanent Deputation is now the image of
the national representation, and ought not to be inert
and passive in such imminent danger and critical cir-
cumstances. It is necessary to form and consolidate
a Government capable of insuring tranquillity, re-
storing confidence, re-animating public spirit, de-
stroying the root of the conspiracies, and confound-
ing the ill-disposed. And (if the general opinion is
to be followed) the Extraordinary Cortes should
be convoked to make reforms and take vigorous
measures to destroy the wicked and inspire Europe
with respect.—(Signed by forty Deputies).
