News was remind yesterday, of some com-
motionskiail , character, in Valencia. The
eivit4titt44llitarY oaties have been long in op-
position to each other, and the strongest anintlities
have prevailed. It now seems that an affray occurred
at a Public Meeting at Villa Real, on the 25th No-
vember, which was attended with disastrous con-
sequences. Three persons were killed by the sol-
diery who fired upon the populace,.and ten or twelve
were wounded.' What produced the disturbance 1,
not known, but a detail of the whole business was
sent by both sides to Madrid; an what seems a little
inconsistent is, that the Civil Authorities who refuse
to acknowledge the present Ministry, demand, ne-,
vertheless, satisfaction floes the Government.
The following is the copy of an Address to the
King float theVasions regiments, both men and Offi-
cers, including the militia as well as the regulars.—

look upon you as the Sovereign and Father of the Spanish Na-

we are resolved ever to preserve our filislobedience. Be assured
that the display of a little timely vigour and decision will destroy
at once the hopes and energies of your enemies, and ours.

The Municipal Body of the City of Murcia is
divided on the present state of affairs: part are for
adhering to the Government, and cart for refusing all
obedience to the authority of the present Ministry.—
The consequence is, that the place is iu a state of
complete anarchy, which will soon be subdued by a
considerable military force, which has been sent
thither from Alcantara.
We hear of several places where the King and his
Ministers have been burnt in effigy, and even so near
the capital as Almegro, in Ca,tile, and Val de Penas.

Extract of a letter from an Officer on the Staff of
General D'Evaitaux, dated Caraccas. Septeuthei 20:
" Amongst the various measures to which the
deliberations of the Sovereign Congress have given
rise, the removal of the Vice-President, Narino, was
of the greatest importance to the British interest,
numberless circumstances having. proved him deci-
dedly hostile to them. His place is now supplied by
Don Pedro Castillo, a man of known talents and un-
doubted patriotism. It is only an set of justice to
General D'Evereuz to add, that, but for the firmness
and dignity displayed by him, Narino might still
have been exercising his tyrannical sway, to the in-
jury of the Republic and individuals. As the facts
connected with the affair may reach Europe in a mu-
tilated shape, I beg leave shortly to relate them.
" The widow of an English Officer killed during a
former campaign, having repaired to Cucuta for dse
purpose of claiming some morties due to her late hus-
band, applied to Narino, by whom she was treated
in a manner the most cruel and insulting. Finding
that no redress was to be obtained, and that Narino
threatened to send her out of the country, she ap-
pealed to the General, who instantly espoused her
cause, and called upon Narino for an explanation of
his conduct. This application was answered by Ge-
neral D'Evereux being placed under close arrest, and
confined in a place which had previously served as a
barracks. On stating his case to the Congress, the
National Representatives took it into immediate consi-
deration, and discussed the proceedings of Narino, who
was in consequence forced to send in his resignation.
Dun F. Penalver, the late Minister of the Republic in
London, particularly distinguished himself during the
debates, and contended that " the Congress could not,
without compromising its dignity, accept the resig-
nation of a man whom they were about and ought to
turn oat of office.
" Anticipating his disgrace, Narino had made ar-
rangements for the removal of the General to head-
quarters, and sent him off under an escort a few days
before that event took place. As the injustice of
Narino's conduct had preceded the General, he was
received with acclamation and every mark of respect
due to his rank, in all the towns through which he
passed. To prove how highly the Supreme Chief
approved the General's conduct, he ordered General
D'Evereux to meet him at Barquesemeto, where his
reception was of the most flattering description. Al-
though your Mend's behaviour throughout this busi-
ness has greatly increased the friendship of the Li-
berator towards him, and added wonderfully to his
popularity, he has insisted on being allowed to go
througk the forms of a Court Martial, in order that
no don & may remain on the minds of the Public as
to the motives which have actuated his conduct from
the commencement of this affair.
" Several of our Officers have received valuable
appointments, and are all in high favour with the
Government. Colonel Young, who distinguished
himself so much as Chief of Paez's Staff, has had
his rank confirmed, and is named Inspecting Field
Officer of all the beautiful %Wiles of Tuy, having
seven tOWIIU in his district; he has also got the corn.l
mand of the battalion Del Sur ; Boyd is his Major
of Brigade. Colonel Hall, author of Travels in
Cauada and France, and who is really an honour to
his country. is placed at the head of the Engineer and
Topographical department. De lieinboldt has got
the command of by far the finest regiment, namely,
the Tiradorcs. I regret to say we have lost many
brave fellows dining the last campaign ; those who
remain have been nobly treated by the Supreme Chief."

STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'OLOCL
This is a Holiday at the Bank, but the Stock Ex-
change is open. ,The Stock-brokers , assembled on
'Change yesterday, it being a Holiday at the Stock
Exchange; a considerable fluctuation was produced:
Consols fell to 76 ys, but re:overed to 77 before the
close of the market. This morning
change was crowded at an early hour. Consols
opened at 7714. A respectable Broker purchased
between.two and three millions at that price, which
tended to improve the market to 77%.

The French Papers of Sunday and Monday last
reached us this morning. The Chamber of Deputies
met on Saturday, to hear the Report on the Petitions
ititich was presented by M. de SALLARERRIN many
of which were of the most trivial nature; aa.l chew
bow much the French have to learn respecting the
really iMportaitt duties of a Legislative Assembly.—
A Lieutenant of Dragoons presented a Petition for
the price of two horses which were killed under him
in October, 1813. The M INISTIR Of WAR had offered
to pay him for one, but this did not satisfy him, and
he, therefore, appealed to the Chamber of Deputies.
Au Ex• Lieutenant petitioned the Chamber to use its
influence in procuring for him the decoration of the
Legion of Honour. An Ex-Comptroller of Direct
Contributions at Paris, demanded to be reinstated in
his office, from which he had been dismissed for de-
tecting some abums during the financial Ministry of

M. Corvetto, in 1815.
When these and similar Petitions bad been disposed
of, M. B. CONSTANT rose to develope the proposition
which he had deposited in the Bureau the preceding
day, for preventing Ministers who were Deputies
from being on Committees relative to accounts and
finance, the duties of which, he contended, were in-
compatible. He did not impute any but the most
pure miitives to the Ministers, but it was their hs.
terest that the pecuniary means placed at their di,c
posal should be abundant; while, on the contrary, it
was the duty of the Chamber to reduce the expenses,',
and to vote only for such as were absolutely necessary.
The only objection, he conceived, which could be
made to his proposition was, the usage of England ;
but he would shew that the cases were not analogous,
and that the Chamber of Deputies did not in the
least resemble the English House of Commons.—
After he had spoken at some length in favour of
his motion, M. DUDON mounted the Tribune, and
said, such a law as that for incapacitating certain
Deputies from sitting on Committees, was an inva-
sion of the rights of Electors ; and that at all events,
if the proposition were adopted, it was so important
that it should be made the project of a distinct law.
He concluded by demanding that the proposition
should be rejected.
M. Darius rose amidst movements of impatience
in the Chamber, and called on the Deputies to enter-I
min the motion.
On the question being put the Chamber divided,
when the majority of two-thirds voted against the
proposition being taken into consideration.
This decision created much agitation to the left.
The Chamber then proceeded to the nomination
of two Vice-Presidents, in place of Messrs. Ville.
and Corbieres.
M. CASIMIR PiRRISR opposed the scrutiny, as the
Chamber had not accepted the resignation of those
two Members.

Considerable confusion followed, and bravos sac,
ceeded each other from the right and left, when any
of their partisans spoke. A scrutiny was at length
taken, when Count dela Bourdonnaye had 143 votes,
and Count Chabrol de Crousol had 88; but none of
the candidates having the majority required by law,
a new election became necessary, which the President
proposed ; but the Chamber, by a general voice, de-
ferred it until Monday. The public sitting was
closed at five o'clock, when the Chamber went into
a Secret Committee.
The reports from Spain in the French Journals are
len exaggerated than usual, and are confirmed in
some particulars by Papers direct from Madrid.—
According to private letters of a recent date from
that capital, a strong persuasion existed, in quarters
where the best information was attainable, that some
of the Ministers at least, on whose weakness and in-
discretion were charged the disputes in Andalusia,
must retire from office. Among the returns of tbe De-
puties to the Cortes, it happens, singularly enough,
that Ritmo has been chosen one of the Members for
the Province of Asturias. The other Deputies, one
of whom is ARGUELLIS, are firm Constitutionalists.
The election of Mao° is justly considered an event
of some importance. By taking his seat in the Cortes,
he will cease to be the centre of disaffection in the
"cnentry, and his influence be diminished to a single
vote in that Assembly. The report circulated in Paris,
of two Spanish regiments having fought in Andalu•
sia, is shewn to have been wholly without foundation.
If the intelligence respecting Turkey does not add
much to our previous information on the subject, it
tends in a great measure to confirm it. While the
Russians are making preparations which indicate the
