BRUSSELS, MAY i.

The Secnnd Chamber of the States met to-day for
the first time since the 24th of March, and after the
usual preliminary business was gone through, the
President stated that he had received a Message from
his Majesty, accompanying a Project of Law, which
contained the said 18 Articles, divided into several
paragraphs, which was not read to the Chamber ;
this Project contains the new system of indirect Taxes.
The Clerk read the Message in the Dutch language.
The Message explains the grounds of the law, and
skews the advantages of the new system, which is
the result of the Labours of a Special Committee.—
The reading of the Message, which was referred to
the Sections, took three quarters of an hour; it was
then read in French.

Spanish Papers to the 23d ult. contain the follow-
ing intelligence:

MADRID, APRIL so.

In a letter from Seville, of the 14th, we find the
following passage—" A short time after the arrival
of the Post, with news of the reverses of Naples, the
sound part of this population were in motion, and,
proceeding with a band of music to the Court-house,
demanded, that as the persons disaffected to the Con-
stitutional System insulted the good, they should be
arrested, and obliged immediately to depart, in the
same manner as those at Barcelona. This was in
fact carried into execution. The persons included
in this measure being the following :—Arcediano de
Niebla, the ex-Inquisitor ; Esperanza, the Canon ;
Sesta Carovajal, Colonel ; and Serjeant-Major of the
Provisional Militia, Elol ; and several Canons."

A Mail from Oviedo has arrived, and it is said,
that several suspected persons have been pointed out
there, with a demand that they should be obliged
to leave the city, to which the Authorities consented.
We learn, that in the Secret Sitting of the Cortes,
on the events at Valencia, the question did not regard
the criminality or innocence of the representation of
the Municipality, but merely to transmit it to the
Government, to take such measures as the nature of
the case demanded.—Miscellanea, April 21.
APRIL 22.—1 t seems that the Government has re-
ceived, by an extraordinary courier, who arrived
here to-day at noon, a dispatch from the Political
Chief of Alava, stating that a band of factious per-
sons has formed itself an that Province, commanded
by one Pinedo, a Notary; and that he had taken the
most active measures to exterminate them. This
will doubtleis be soon accomplished, these wretches
having chosen for the theatre of their Quixotic pro-
jects, a country which is eminently Constitutional ;
end surrounded by others, as Navarre and Rioja,
in which the best spirit prevails. The National Mi-
litia alone are sufficient to put an end to this new
farce. It is said, however, the Government, being
desirous to re-establish at once the public tranquil-
lity, which has been so much disturbed in the Pro-
vinces of Burgos, and those adjacent, by the machi-
nations of the ill-disposed, has ordered the columns
of Grenadiers of Old Castile to be assembled at
Valladolid.

By accounts from Ceuta, of the 11th of April, it
seems that the party of Muley Zied is very strong in
the Empire of Morocco, that he has been proclaimed
at Fei, Mequinez, &c. that be was to enter Fez on
the Ist with 10,000 men, that it as said he would
be joined by another brother with 8,0(X) men, and
match to Morocco; that lied had done no other
harm in Tetuan than taking with' him the former
Governor and one of his sons, ezacting 35,000
piastres from the Jews, and beheading 35 Moors of
the opposite party, whom he had taken prisoners.—
Nothing was known of the proceecEngs of Mulct' So-
Email, the old Emperor, at Tangier.
