He lastly"derbanded 0) **4l decree should be-cotn-
biunicated to the Regency; in order that it might
be made known to the'provimies of the Spanish Em-
pire for their satisfaction, and :iso the world at large
es a matter of admiration.
Huerta immediately rose, and said that he had en•
tertained the same idea, and actually prepared the
form of a decree, which on the preceding day he eottl.
Municated to Capmany. The latter produced, there-
bpon, the project of a. decree alluded to by Huerta ;
which being read; was found. to be more rigorous
anr.l severe.than. that of Capmany. The latter was,
til..a.-,:fore, put to the vote, and passed by a consider&
bk majority, with the addition of this clause. • " Ex-
cepting such employs as are obtained by seniority, or
granted for notorious extraordinary
.services rendered
to the country, and whieb,
.iii the estimation of the
Cortes; shall deserve an extraordigary revrard.”'

This Decree had hardly been sanctioned, *ben
Hermido rose, and said in. an audible voice, yet wigi.
out addressing himself to any particular person, that
all this was null aticlvOld,.it being the result of a to.

multuary meeting.

The Pteaident then • tottchedithe bell, and put the
question 16 the vote—`whether the prohAsition to ob-
tain employs ought to be extended ta,one year after
the perfOiMance of the. futstrions of :deputies shall
have.ceased ?--On this.odet.tion, it was determined
that ,the deputises ought to give their .order,, by say-
ing, in 26 audible yoke, Yet; or No. .
The iitiestion put by the Ptesident was decided in
the affirmative by a superiority of 51• to 44. The
sitting Wits dosed at three in the afternoon.
SpTV.V.iEtt diri sitting was resolved
into a Secret Conatnittee•h(the whole. Congress.

About twelve o'clock the Duke Ci Orleans arrived
on horseback, in the uniferth of •a Captain•Genernl.
HC entered the portico adjetning the Session Hail,
*ere he continued about an hour, till some of ,the
Deputies arrived, and had a conference with his High-
ness, which lasted about five minutes, when the Duke
remounted his horse, and returned to Cadiz.
The Congress rose at half past three o'clock in the
afternoon. .

6.-A—The ,fittings of the 2d instant began' at 1
kali* past.ten A. M. and continued in a public man.
ner till a qparter before two, when it was ordered to
be cleared. The following persons were admitted to
take their oaths :--The Deacon of the Council of ,
Castile, and that of the Indies ; the Deacon of Or.l
tiers, and that belonging to the State, the Captain evis
nerals of the Fleet, and cf various Departments ; the
intendants of the Army and Marine. Some of the
forego;ng Gentlemen addressed his Majesty, in whose
name the President of the Cortes replied. During
the whole of the Sitting only what concerned the
CAmericas formed the subject of discussion.
A Representation from the European. Americans
was read ; in which they requested to have a repre-
sentative, or, at any rate, an exposition in the Cortes:
and, as a reason, they alledge that America contains
7J,000 Europeans, mho ;,re deprived of a representa-
eve in thi; august Assembly ; and further, they urge
their merits, and the sacrifices and gifts they have
made, as a reason why such request ought not to be
disregarded..

Several Members, both Americans as well as be-
longing to the Peninsula, spoke against the petition,
and proved the absurdity of making a distinction be-
tween the Creaks and Europeans, when they only
formed ()he. family, or one nation ; 4nd that the lot
which happened to fall upon the one, was equally
liable to have fallen on the others, &c.

There is no doubt that the said request is totally
void of propriety, and therefore it met with no sup-
port.—This was followed by several American D-
eputies, insisting tnore strenuously that the Cortes
should declare what we have already mentioned in
former papers.

N— ascended the gallery, and in his usual peint.,
rd and pleasing mariner, declared his surprise, as well
:• th,t of the Public, at seeing a deputy on his knees
; i'he gillery, entreating his Majesty in favour of the
A...nericans, as a representative of the Supreme Being.
" We do not assemble here (said the worthy Deputy
in substitute) to move the heart, but to declare the
truth I n,:r shouli even one single voice be directed
towards the people, but towards the augdst assembly
of the Cortes."

The public Sitting concluded at two o'clock ; but
they sat privately till three o'clock..—.9d dap The
Sittings began at the same hour as yesterday. The
rtnestion respecting the Americans wasagain discussed.
N--- said) that he exceedingly regretted to see
the time spent in discussing a subject which, as yet,
had no existence ; that they were bringing about the
confirmation of two Decrees of the Central Junta,
'which had not yet been read in the Assembly ; that,
owing to their want of precedents, the Cortes were de-
prived of that instruction so requisite to sanction the
said decrees ; that to him the most obvious way
ts,erned, without entering. into father discussion, to
ask information from the Council of India, Which
would give their opinion conformably to the laws of
