FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY 7.

Accounts from the frontiers of Spairt announce,
that all the Militia Regiments in the two Castiles,
Gallicia, Biscay, `and the Asturias, had received or
ders to assemble, and to be ready to march at the,
irst signal.
The accounts from those parts of our provinces
which have suffered from the inundation, daily be-
come more favourable ; the watbrs are every where
subsiding with more or less rapidity ; those of the
Yssel, which is quite free from ice, kave fallen coo-
sidesably, so that all fear of farther danger has va-1
nished. Every exertion is making in our provinces to
relieve the misery of our unfortunate countrymen,
who have lost their all 5y the late disasters; it causes
real satisfaction to see that the result answers the
zeal of the friends of humanity, whose efforts are di-
rected to this salutary object. His Majesty has as-
signed from his'privy purse a further sum of 10,000
florins, at the disposal of South Brabant.
STUTGARD, JANUARY 50.
The following account from Frankfort has been
published :—" The affair respecting the claims of the
Jews in our city to civil rights, appears to be draw-
ing to a conclusion. The following are stated to be
the particulars :—The Jewish 'Community shall pay,
for the acquisition of civil rights, the sum of 250,000
florins, for which the Jews shall be authorised to re-
• side in any part of our City, with the exception of
some quarters which will be forbidden. They are
also enjoined to reside on the left side of the streets,
towards the end, near the gates of the City. They
shall be called Israelite Citizens. They shall remain
excluded from all public employments and dignities;
but the exercise of all trades is permitted theme Those
who desire to follow commerce, must produce a cer-
tificate, or diploma (indenture of apprenticeship), to
prove that they have zegularly learned it. There
shall be annually granted fifteen licences of marriage
to Israelite Citizens, and those who obtain such a
permission, must purchase the rights of citizenship.
If he marries a foreigner, she must have a portion of
at least 10,000 florins. It is said, that the JeWish
Community at Frankfort makes no difficulty of ac-
quiescing in these conditions, except that which ex-
cludes them from public employments. However,
this extension is but just ; because, not to- speak of
other reasons, the capacity to obtain public offices
absolutely implies the full possession of the rights of
citizenship in their full extent; and, as long as the
Jews enjoy this tight only with certain limitations,
their claim to public employment is null."
Though we quote this article from a German Pa-
per, we are far from believing it authentic ; but ra-
ther consider it as a foolish persiflage directed against
the Senate of Frankfort and the Jews of that City.

PRIVATE LETTER. .

"CADIZ, JANUARY 16.

" Since the Bth, nothing very -‘-iportant, in a mi-
litary point of view, has taken place, but the system
of police every day becomes more severe. Several
arrests of great moment have taken place. Notwith-
standing all this, secret intercourse is kept up with
the Insurgents, and though under great difficulties,
an important affair is preparing. If we durst, the
Insurgents would be received with open arms, but
those favourable to them cannot commune with
each other, so many eyes and bayonets are upon
diem. In short, martial law prevails, but all will
not avail. Though slowly, the work will go on. It'
is not only the nature of the cause, but the good con-
duct also of those openly-engaged in it, that inspires
confidence. The National Troops ate united to each
other like brothers, and no threat or promise of FER-
DINAND can sever them. They are now practising a
lesson they learnt long ago. They are besides com-
manded by military men of known reputation and
merit, and also of exemplary conduct. GUTIEREZ
and GROCES, Artillery Officers ; ARCO-ARCM:IIO.
Colonel of Engineers ; with the two brothers, SAN MI-
GUEL, all know their duty well. QGIROGA, Colonel
of the Regiment of Asturias, and who fordniately
escaped hence and joined them, is a veteran, and
to his military talents adds a fine and engaging per-
son. He is prompt and extremely active. No dif-
ficulty or danger ruffles his temper. By spontaneous
acclamation he was declared Commander of the
army, under the title of General in-Chief of the Na-
tional Army (ad interim), protecting the meeting
of the Sovereign Congress. They want for nothing.
—By the fall of La Caraca, as well as by the num-
bers daily flocking to them, they have bad the valu-
able acquisition of several Civilians of talent and
experience. The Press is the only privation under
which they labour. They lead us to expect that their
example will he followed in many other points of the
Peninsula, whither emissaries were immediately sent.
It is known they have a strong party among the
troops commanded by the Agents of the KING, and
possibly of this fact the latter are not insensible.—
fay the bay of Sand Petri they have received several
vessels from the Barbary shore, loaded with provi-
sions, fruit, &c. Sand Petri is an interesting point,
owing to its locality. It is a fortified island at the
mouth of the river of the same name, mounting °I
heavy cannon on a battery en barbette. lii the left
angle ate two mortars, and in the opposite one are
four 18-pounders, level with the water. The bay
forms a kind of horse-shoe, and capable of containing
a large number of vessels. This will be a most con-
venient spot for the South American privateers cruiz-
ing in this quarter. In the Castle their State prisoner,
are confined. Admiral VILLAVICENCIO is at a loss
what to do with his fleet, which soon will be in want
of water and provisions."

from the importance of the subject, we have no doubt
will meet with a very extensive circulation; particu-

solicitous to use the most simple language, divested,
as far as possible, of technical and scientific phrase-
ology. It is entitled The Mother's Medical Assistant.

wards of £4,800.

.The Chamber of Deputies had a public meeting
on Monday. After deciding on a number of Peti-
tions, of local interest, they proceeded to the con-
sideration of the Project of LAW for the definitive
discharge of the possessors of National Domains
from all claims on the part of the Government ; and,
after a brief discussion, the Project, with a slight.
amendment, was adopted. The Chamber then re-
solved itself into a Committee, to hear the develope-

to the King, praying his Majesty to present a Law
upon the Organization of the National Guard, and
that of M. MANUEL for a similar object, relative to

SPAIN.

(FRO!f THE XIONITEUR.)

A Letter from Madrid, of the 29th January, con-
tains the following details:

" General Freyre Was to commerce his movement;
on the 25th. It is now demonstrated that Cadiz
will not fall into the power of the Rebels, and that'
the moment approaches when they will be dispersed
by force and by their own divisions, which may
render the employment of force less deplorable.
Dissensions exist among the Chiefs ; some very warm
personal altercations have taken place between Arco
Agnero and Banos, Commandant of Artillery—a'
duel has been the -coragequence. Already a diminu-
tion has been made in the pay, which excites dis-
content and desertion. The arrival of General Freyre,
with an imposing force, will do the rest.

Qn the 22d, at Cadiz, an Officer at the Theatre
cried out Long live the Constitution of the Cortes !'
This provocation excited the greatest indignation.
The Officer was recognized as the person who caused
the death of the unfortunate General Solaro, on the
entry-of the French into Spain. It appears that he
has been the victim of his audacity and of the.po•
rular fury."

BATAVIA, AUGUST 7, 1819.

The following is an account given in the Batavia.:
Courant of the 31st of last month, of the affairs of
Palembang:
" Mr. Muntinghe, who has been for some time
Commissioner at Palembang, has returned from that
plate, on board 'his Majesty's schooner Emma, in
order to give the Government an Account of the state
of things there, and to propose means to punish the
perfidious conduct of the Sultan of Palembang,
Mahmood Badroedin.

" This Prince, who has been restored by thelGo-
vernment of the Netherlands to the dignity of which
he had been deprived ever since the events of 1811,
went so far, during the stay of Mr. Muntinghe in the
interior of Palembang, as to form a plot, the object
of which was the repetition of thelroubles, of which
Palembang was the theatre some years ago.
" Numerous bands of,,,Malays, and other stran-
gers, continually disturbed the Officers of the Dutch
Government, at the secret instigation of the Sultan ;
and, '*hen Mr. Muntinghe, on his:return to Palem-
bang, required that the latter should prove his inno-
cence, by giving up some Chiefs, as hostages for his
good conduct, he threw off the mask, and suddenly
attacked the detachment stationed at Palembang,
whose bravery repelled the attack, and drove back
the assailants, with great loss, into the fortified Dale'
of the Sultan. • •

" Want of aramunition'obliged our people to ab-
stain from any further enterprize against the Sultan,
and to 'return to the neighbou;ing Island of 13.inca,
to wait for reinforcements from Java.

" In consequence of this resolution, our people fell
down the river of Palembang on. the 15th of June,
and after the troops had landed on Banca, the ships
took their station at the mouth of the river to pro-
tect that part of our territory."

New York Papers arrived this morning to the 16th
January. The following are extracts :

that coffee would probably continue at 22 cents. but
that sugar would decline; it also states, that the
United States schooner Lynx, on her late cruize,
touched at Havannab, and that it was generally sup-
posed by the inhabitants, the she had come to ap-
prise the American merchants of the probability of
an immediate war, and to aid in removing their
effects. Two days after, the arrival of the PREsr-
DENT'S Message removed their fears, and caused
much rejoicings. There are many Americans con-
fined in the fortresses and prisons at the Havannah,
having been captured in Mexican and Florida priva-,
teersi they suffer much from their treatment.

MEETING OF THE PRIENbS OF SIR

WILLIAM CURTIS.

A Meeting of Bankers, Merchante and others, of
London, WAS held yesterday at the London Tavern,
for the purpose of inviting Sir W. CURTIS to become
a Ca:Wl:late for the City, and to consider of the best
means to be adopted for securing his return at the
ensuing General Election. There were from 500 to
600 persons in the room. W. MANNING, Esq. M. P.
was in the Chair.

Mr. MANNING said, he bad been extremely anxious,
on the present occasion, that one of the Aldermen of
the City, or some individual more immediately cone
netted with the Corporation than he was, should have
been called to the Chair. The part he had already
taken in a Committee for the purpose of again bring-
ing Sir W. Curtis Into Parliament, was as a private
individual only. Since, however, it was the pleasure
of the assembly he addressed to call upon him to
preside publicly, he was equally gratified in obeying
the voice of so respectable and numerous a meeting
of his fellow-citizens. He should, therefoie most
cheerfully do his duty in the best manner he could,
and only hoped for the kind indulgence of those
whom .he addressed. He concluded by heartily re-
Lemmencling Sir W. Curtis as a fit and proper person
to represent the City of Loudon in l'irliament—
(Applause). '
Mr. J. HALL then read the Resolutions—(for
altich see the front of our Paper).
Sir C. S. HUNTKR in rising to propose the first Re-
solution, said, it gave him the greatest possible hap-
piness to see their old and worthy Friend,' the Ho-
nourable Baronet, again introduced before them as
a person not only fit, but well entitled, to represent
them ill Parliament ; and it was with equal gratifica-
tion he could assure the Meeting, that Sir William
Curtis was most anxious and zealous to come for-
ward and ,seek their suffrages—(Appiamse).—Much
had been already done for the attainment of this pur-
pose ; and when he kneW how desirous the great
body of the mercantile community were to be duly
represeated, he had no doubt of their ultimate suc-
cess. II: had been their Representative and servant
for roa-.y years, and had done much good. If he
was once more returned, he had no doubt be would
eminently distinguish himself, and prove useful in
the highest degree.
Alderman ATKINS, in seconding the Resolution,
observed, while he had had the honour to act in Par-
liamen: as colleague of the worthy Baronet, he found
him an upright and most efficient Member; and, if his
health permitted, he still considered him as the most''
fit person to represent the City of London: and as it
was essential to have eminent mercantile characters,
to act for the City of London, he for one should do
all is his power to promote the 'objects of the Meet-
ing—the return oC Sir William Curtis.
(i. BLACKMAN, Esq. proposed the second Resolu-
tion, and it was seconded by Sir C. FLowEst.
Mr. JACKS, in proposing the third Resolution, said,
he had long witnessed the career of Sir William Cur-
tis, as an old Member of thi Corporation. lie gave
his hearty concurrence to every word which had
fallen, either in his praise, or as to his fitness to re-
present them in Parliament. There never was a time
when it was so necessary to have high mercantile
characters in such a situation ; and while he would
talk of the faults or virtues of individuals, he trusted
that he should never again see so few real mercantile
men in Parliament—(Hear, hear!)—He was c•n-
vinced of the lamentable deficiency which had for
some time existed in this respect. Sir J. Shaw had
communicated to him the fact, that when he was in
Parliament, so great was the attention paid to the
mercantile interests, that one hundred days. out of
three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, were
devoted to that purpose. In the return of Sir Wil-
liam CA tis, the Meeting would not only have the
Corporation interests, and the interests of the City
generally preserved, but the great mercantile inte-
rests of the country at large.
FELIX CLAY, Esq. seconded the Resolution.
Sir C. FLOWER proposed, and Sir F. DRSSANOES se-
conded the fourth Resolution.
Alderman ATKIN's mentioned,.that the Resolution
called on the, Livery to Jispense with the personal
canvass of Sir William Curtis. This, he thought,
looked arrogant, and suggested, that the Meeting
do respectfully recommend to the Livery to dis-
pense, Ice.' The alteration was agreed to.
Mr. W. WARD proposed the fifth Resolution, and
Sir M. BLOXAM seconded it.

The CHAIRMAN then suggested, that before they
proceeded any farther, they should obtain an answer I
from Sir W. Cuttis, whether he was ready to be- I
come a Candidate for the Representation of the City
of London ? •
A Deputation was immediately sent to the worthy
Baronet for this purpose.
Ir. S. DIXON, during their abse%ce, observed,
next to the desire for returning Sir W. Curtis to Par-
liament, he was most anxious that the City should ,
be represented by real men of business. And while
hs had nothing whatever to'say against .the private
virtues or characters of the present Members, be did
not hesitate to say, that they were totally unac-
quainted with great mercantile questions.--( There
v:eve here loud cries of " Name, name r but Ms call
Wqs put dawn by as applause and hisses). Me hoped
the feeling would go abroad, of the necessity of hay-
ing high mercantile men to represent the City of
London in the Legislature; and that those who ap-
preciated Sir W. Curtis in this character would zea-
lously exert themselves, and not split as they had
done before ; to the great injury of the cause, and the
los; of his Election.
It. 11. MARTEN, Esq, wished to join most heartily
with those who had plezeded him, in urging the re-
turn of mercantile men as Members for the City. It
was only mercantile men who could represent mer.
c.tutile interests (Hier):—But the Meeting should
j look at their choice of a IV:Taber in a political point
L'''' ti view. They had arrived at a crisis when. the Con-
'> ctivition of the Country required that it should not
i..ily be preserved, but balanced ; and the Represent-
a.ives of the People should be decisive.- Men, too,

A led :-at:sfied in affording cold common-place sup-

VI Alder cc Wood and Waithman might still vote as
they pi eased : but there was little doubt of the line
Fa
vi conduct Sir Wm. Curtis would pursue--(Hear).
..,

The Livery ought, therefore, to decide inaitrtiny)
and give their old and tried- Reptesentative their
warmest support—(Hear, honr)L
The Deputation having returned, Mr, HALL real
the answer of Sir W. Curtis (which tat else he:min
another dart of our impression). It was received with
shouts of applause.,
Sir CIARLIi PRICE proposed the next Resolution,
which was seconded by Sir WILLIAM LEIGHTON.
Mr. MANNING proposed that a Committee should
sit daily at the London Tavern, in order to carry the
object of the Meeting into effect.—Carried.
Sir' CHARLES PRICE moved the Thanks of the
Meeting to the Chairman, which was carried with
great applause; and MT..MANNIKG returned s. , thank
Sir CLAUDIUS HUNTER informed the Meeting that
Sir Wm. Curtis, at the desire of a great majority of
the room, would shortly make his appearance. The
worthy Baronet soon after entered the room, amid
shouts of applause.
• Alderman ATKINS proposed a Resolution, to the
effect that the Committee should be an open one, and
constantly sitting. Every friend of Sir Wm. Curtis
should hare free access, progress ought to be reported,
and every thing well organised, in order that they
might obtain their object, and once more receive m
their bosom the worthy Baronet.
..Sir WILLIAM CURTIS (having recovered from'the
feelings which appeared to affect him when he first
entered the room) said, that having done him the
honour to call him forth again upon the public stage
of life, in order to represent them in Parliament, he
had most gratefully obeyed the summons. He had for
twenty-seven.years, he trusted with honour, repre-
sented the Livery of London. His political life was
well known to them all. It might be supposed that
he would now seek repose ; but seeing the state of
his country, so long as he had mind and power t.
act, he should fight to protect het, and maintain her
great Constitution. That Constitution had not only
been attacked, but its overturn and destruction media
tated altogether. As long, therefore, as he had a
voice, he should raise it in defence of his King and
Constitution—(Wear, hear). lie trusted the Meeting
would give him credit f. - his feelings on the present
occasion, agitated as they were by gratitude and
kindness. He was unable to address there as he
could wish, for " what the heart felt, the tongue
was not always able to express"--:(App/ausfs). It
was his intention, when helost his Plection eighteen
months since, to have retired altogether from pub-
lic life, but it was now impossible to resist the
imperious call upon him by his fellow-citizens.—
If they placed him, therefore, in the situation of their
Represtntative, all his obligations, and the best ser-
vices of his remaining life would be due to them.
No man on earth would stand up firmer than he for
the peculiar rights and privileges of the City of Lon-
don. In other matters, he would think for himself.
If he were to say, that he would not attend to the
opinions and wishes of such reflecting men as the
Livery of London, he should do wrong. But the
House of Commons was a deliberative assembly; ar-
gumeas were there brought forward and discussed.
It was from such discussions and oppositions that
truth was elicited. His mind was' not prepared to.
make a long oration. He felt much gratified by
their Resolutions, and considered himself bound to
come forward. If they exerted themselves, theie
was no doubt but their object would be accomplished
(Applause).---The Meeting then adjourned.

t pleadings in this cause, which have occupied
the court during several sittings were now concluded.
The LORD CHANCELLOR deferred giving judgthent
till he should have read over the papers.
At the rising of the eOurt, Sir I,Tatkin Lewes ad-
dressed his Lordship on.the subject of asuit in which
he' was concerned. He said the question at issut in-
volved the disposal of property
to a very large
amount, and therefore it was of importance that it
should be decided as early as possible. He begged
his Lordship to fix an early day for the hearing of
this cause.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he Would do any
thing in his power to oblige Sir Watkin Lewes, or
any other suitor; but he could not conscientiously
bring on this cause (Lewes v. Morgan) out of its
turn, while there were so many old appeals to be
disposed of.

had refused both applications: The names of Mrs
Thompson, Mr. Fearon& Mr& Hurcomb, and Mr. Ste-
vens, were among the requisitionists ; and this depo-
nent, although not present, swore he believed these
persons principally concerned in exciting the disturb-
ance vrhiclielayed the election of Lord Mayor.—
Mr. Sheriff Bothwell, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Browns
also swote, that these persons, Mr. Waithman god
Mr. Parkyns, were concerned, and combined to ob-
struct the election. Now, with regard to MP% Hur;
comb, the fact charged again.t him was contained in
the affidavit of Mr. Brown, namely, that he had heed•
seen distributing a certain hand-bill, in Guildhall, to
kir. beau. Now Mr. Dean swore, he received no
hand-bill from Mr. Hurcomb; and a Gewlemart,
named Coutes, who-was with Mr. Hurcomb, also
swore, that he did not see Mr, Hurcomb deliver any
hand-bill to any one. Mr. Hurcomb was alsO accused
of having stood in the way, and prevented dill, the
Hall-keeper, from fixing up the boards containing
the names of the Candidates for the office of Loral
Mayor, as was usual, on the hustings; but Mr. Hill
declared, in his affidavit, that no such circumstance
took place. Against Mr. Hurcomb, therefore, be
submitted, the Rule must be discharged. Mr. N.
Brown, one of the City Marshals, in Ills affidavit, de-
tailed 'a great deal of matter relative to riot and con-
fusion, which, even from his statement, was not con-
fined to one side: but Mr. Brown went. on to state,
that as soon as the Lord Mayor and Aldermen re-
tired, Mr.Waithman ru§hed forward to take possession
of the front of thehustings, witliMr. Thompson ; and
that Mr. Thompson laid violent hands on the Com-
mon gerjeant, who was remonstrating with him, upon
which the deponent came forward to protect him
from violence. Now the affidavit of the Common
Serjeant did not corroborate this fact—he complained
of no violence from Mr. Thompson ; and Mr. Thomp-
son, on his part, totally denied it, but said he was
seized by Mr. Brown, who was pulling him back,
whilst Mr. Henry Hunt had hold of the other arm,
pulling him forward, till he was considerably alarmed,
being in ill health at the time, for his personal safety.
Mr. AldermanWaithman also swore, that he did not
precis forward, as described by Mr. Brown, but kept
at the back of the hustings, till he saw the violence
offered to Mr. Thompson, when he came forward to
speak to order. Mr. Denman then proceeded to read
and comment on the opposite affidavits of the two
Sheriffs, Bothwell and Parkyns, from which it ap-
peared, that the;e Gentlemen had taken different
views of the lase, and each had acted on his own
opinion, and were neither of them free from blame.
He would next come to the Common Seijeant's
'affidavit, in which his Learned Friend complained
of having been treated with disrespect by some of
the defendants; and it appeared, that in consequence
of some observation made by Mr. Sheriff Parkyns,
the Common Serjeant declared aloud that be wished
yo hold no conversation with him. Here, then,.
was a complete cut between the Sheriff and the
person who should have been his legal adviser.
Mr. Hunt was described by the Common Serjeant as
having held him up to contempt and ridicule, by de-
siring the persons who surrounded him on the hus-
tings to stand back to the right and left, that the Li-
very might see the Common Serjeant, who, though
he considered himself as so great a man there, was
only a junior Counsel at Westminster-hall.. This,
perhaps, was not very courteous language; but surely
there-was nothing so very degrading in being o ju-
nior Counsel in Westminster ; and he must re-
-peat, that he could not but regret his Learned Friend
having' been betrayed into the irritation he had been.
With respect to what had been said by Mr. Waith-
man, Mr. Parkyns, Mr. Thompson, and the other
defendants, as to their determination to proceed to
discuss the Resolutions held by Mr. Thompson, they
were expressions used whilst contending for what
they considered as a legal right. With respect to the
defendant, Mr.l3timstead, there was nothing to affect
him except that- he seconded the Resolutions. Mr.
Alderman Waithman's affidavit expressed his 'firm
conviction that the Livery had the right to discuss
public grievances when called together fur the election
of a Lord Mayor. He had heard that several of the
Livery, dissatisfied with the Lord Mayor for refusing
to call a Common Hall, had determined to erect
huitings and hold a meeting in Guildhall-yard, and
in consequence Of the rumour he addressed a ietter
to the Livery, strongly recommending them-to refrain
from such meeting, as they would' have the oppor-
tunitt of meeting in their own Hall on the 29th of
September. They did accordingly refrain froth such
meeting in Guildhall-yard. The affidavit then pro-
ceeded to detail the transactions in Guildhall,• and
denied any violence of conduct on his part, or that, he
in any way insulted or attempted' to degrade the
Common Serjeant; nor did he, as was stated in some
of the affidavits on the other side, use the following
expression—” Hunt, Hunt, tell Thomscai to stick by
them and give way to no one"—and he also denied,
in positive terms, having had any share in drawing
up the Resolutions, or any intention to prevent the
election of a Lord Mayor, as was ultimately the
case. The Learned Counsel then went through the
other affidavits, which were numerous and volumi-
nous, and, on the whole, submitted that' it was per-
fectly clear that all these individuals had acted on a
'conscientious persuasion that they had the right. If
they had it not, yet he trusted this Court would not
now treat them as criminals by granting an informa-
tion, but would send them to a Grand Jury, the most
convenient tribunal for enquiry.
Mr. BROUGHAM followed on the same side, as
Counsel for Mr. Thompson, ante submitted that if on
this occasion their Lordships should grant an Informa-
tion, they would by that decision bring on themselves
every little petty corporate political quarrel in the
kingdom. They would open the doors of Westmin-
ster Hall to every Common Hall, who Would have
nothing to do in future but to create a riot amongst
themselves, and make the Court of King's Bench a
Court of Appeal, to decide the quarrels of all the
Common Councils and Common flails in the Empire.
He now contended, that in making out the present
[case? the prosecutors had not laid before the 'Court
;he best evidence they could have got. Their strong
point was, the usage and custom of the City of L. ,n-
Oon; yet they had- not got the bet authority they
might have done; namely, that of ,the Recorder.—
They had not even- given that of the Common Ser-
jeant, but rested on the opinion of the Town Clea
