The issue of the Trial at York, and the facts which
were there 'satisfactorily established respecting the
peaceable demeanour of the immense multitude as-
sembled at Manchester, on the 16th of August last,
are now the subject of general conversation, among
even the highest circles. The general opinion is, that
Lord CASTLEREAGII, and the other Gentlemen who
have been the dupes of false information, cannot,
in their private character, submit to the stigma that
now attaches to them, but that they must, in vindi-
cation of their personal honour and integrity, satisfy
their parliamentary friends that they were indeed'
impo.ell upon, and were in no respect whatever the
inventors of the falsehoods which, it now appears,
they, in their simplicity, were made the organs of
uttering.

Mr. HuNT arrived in town yesterday morning,
and his Liven notice of his intention to move for a
new trial, or to set aside the verdict, on the follow-

iug grounds:

1. That the Resolutions passed at the Smithfield Meeting
were not evidence, and ought not to have been admitted as such.
2. That the fact of the Yeomanry having killed fourteen per-
sons, and wouuded 613, was evidence, and ought to have been
admitted.
3. That the verdict is contrary to law.

4. Thu the verdict is contrary to the direction of the Judge.
S. That the verdict is contrary to evidence.

6. That one of the Jury was ngt a Freeholder.—And
1. That the Jury consisted of Magistrates procured and packed
by the Master of the Crown °See.

The conduct of Judge BAYLEY is universally ap-
plauded—his temperance, c. dura.e, moderation,
and impartiality, have, indeed, never been exceeded.

The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this morning.
The only intelligence they contain is from Spain.
Two Decrees hare been issued by FICHDINAND, rela-
tive to the Finances. The first bears in substance,
that the KING had always desired to separate the
direction of the Public Credit from the Adminis-
tration of the Treasury, but that superior circum-
stances had prevented him from realizing this wish.
" At present," says his MAJESTY, " I do not wish to
delay, for an instant, putting in execution Article
355 of the Constitutill, which I have sworn to, and
which prescribes this separation." It is in conse-
quence ordered, that henceforth the establishment of
the Public Credit is separated from the Treasury.--,
D. BEItNARDIN• TEIGNES ?RAD°, and D. ANTONIO
BARATA, wilt) had been named b the Cortes Admi-

ristrators of the Public Credit, resume their functions.
The second Decree, after reciting the 338th and fol-
lowing Articles of the Conctitution, which orders the
Cortes to fix the annual amount of the Taxes, an-
rounces, that consicLring the nemsity of meeting the
expenses of the State, the K ENO, by the advice of the
Provisional Junta of Government, maintains the exist-
ing system of contributions, until the General Cores
can assemble. The KING declares, that he has taken
the most prompt measures for accelerating their as-
sembling ; and that, in the meantime, as the existing
Junta of Finances presents nothing in its attributes
which is contrary to the Constitution, it shall conti-
nue to fulfil its functions. This Junta is to prepare
a work en the Establishment of the Contributions,
which will be presented to the Cones.

Madrid continues to enjoy the most perfect tran-
quillity. All the Members of the late me-holy In-
quisition have received orders to quit the capital,
and several persons who exercised an undue ascend.
ancy over the KING, have been alto removed from
about his person. As soon as the intentions of the
Provinces are known, it is- meant to convoke the
Cortes, who will meet, it is expected, about the Ist
of May. GtaoN, an Officer of distinguished merit,
is said to have been appointed Minister of War.
All the accounts yet received announce the adop-
tion of the Constitution throughout the Provinces.—
It was proclaimed on the 9th at Cadiz, in presence
of Generals FREYRE and VILLA Viti.x.tecto, even
before the events which had taken place in the capital
were known ; but, according to letters from Seville,
of the 11th, this event did not take place without
some fighting between the people and the garrison,
in which not less than sixty persons were killed.—
Among these unfortunate victims to the new order
of things, were Generals CarepANa and VALDRLe..-
The KING'S adoption of the Constitution would be
known at Cadiz on the 13th ; and this, it was confi-
dently expected, would put an end to all divisions,
and restore union and tranquillity to the city.
At Saint Andero the Proclamation of the Consti-
tution was not made till the 13th, and was attended
with some measures of rigour. The Governor, Que.
save, M. VIAL, a merchant, and several other
persons, have been arrested.
At Saint Sebastian General ARIZAGA is said to
have died for grief at the triumph of the Cortes.
At Sarcelona, General CUMIN. bat not been
