the same period by the General and Extraordinary
Cortes.

A Decree of the 16th of March ordains, that the
oath to the Conititution be taken by all the inhabi-
tants of the kingdom, in the same manner as in 1812,
and in strict conformity with the Decree of the Cortes
of the 18th of March in the same year, which pre-

ought to be executed.

On-the 10th inst. the Constitution was proclaimed
at Seville, with the greatest solemnity. Before that
day, it appears that an engagement had taken place
neat Moron, between the troops under General
O'Donnel, and those commanded by Riego, who re-
ceived a ball in the cape of his coat during the action.
It is, said, that the Regiment of Nurnantia, which
formed a part of O'Donners troops, manifested some
fury against the prisoners, whom the people of Seville
received with transports of joy. The publication of
the Constitution restored everything to order.
(FROM THE CONSTITOTIONEL.)
Seville proclaimed the Constitution on the 10th,
but them was, as in Cadii, much passion, resent-
ment, and rancour, in consequence of recent arbi-
trary proceedings.
In Valencia, Elio was ready to do homage to the.
Constitution—to creep through all the forms, and
swear to it. But the people would not allow it, his
very presence irritatA, and he retired. His. col-
league, Egnia, nicknamed Collailla (the little toil)
has vanished—that stout champion of vigorous ex-
tremes, has hid himself nobody knows where.
Madrid is deluged with paniphletsfrom all quar-
ters. From the tone of the Gallicians, Arragonese,
and Spaniards in general, it is easy to see that it was
time for Ferdinand to conjure down the storm. The
Duke of Infantadu, who, as President of the Council
cf Castile, made all Spain tremble, now descends to
solicit the protection of the Journals, and prays them
to make an excuse for him. So the world goes. All
Spain is anitnated with the same spirit as Madrid.
The exceptions arc so few as not to merit notice.
The conduct of the two brothers O'Donnel, the
Duke d'Abishal, and Don Joseph, has cast a momen-
tary shade upon our political horizon. The one tra-
verses La Man: ha, and seems to trace out a particu-
lar course for himsell—not because he wits unwiAinz,
to' detach himself from the Government just termi-
nated, but that he is piqued at his not having the lead
in the Revolution. His brother has had an unhappy
affair with the troops under Colonel Riego, near
Grenada. There was a fearful misunderstanding—
ua ess it w.ls that O'Donnel abused the generosity of
the constitutional Chief:, The conflict was at first
disastrous to the troops of Riego, who bad no notion
of :ighting their countrymen. But at last the peo
plc &dated for Riego, and O'Donnel abandoned by
his troops, took refuge in Gibraltar.
The ,cenes at Cadiz 5611 remain covered with a
mysterious veil. About a hundred, we understand,
fell victims. The Inquisitors have been disrniz•sed to
their respective benefices—for they all had benefices.
The Jesuits ate satisfied with any form of Govern-
ment—if they but have a shore.

We received two days ago a letter from Paris,
stating, that " the Kist.; of SPAIN had written to
" the KING of FitaNer, that lie had only taken the
" Oath to maintain the Constitution of the Cortes,
in order to prevent his being dethroned; but that
" his sentiments remained unchanged." This state-
;lent appeared to us quite incredible, and there-
fore we took no notice of it; for, even on the sup
position that such a letter had been received by the
KiNcr of FRANC; we held it impossible that the
contents could have been suffered to transpire. We
ought, however, new to add, that anyther letter
from Paris appeared yesterday, in a respectable
Morning Paper, stating the same fact, and acWing,
that the KING of SPAIN, before taking the Oath to
the Constitution, had " privately made out a so.
44 lemn Protest against kis own Oath, and all the
" concessions consequent thereon, as not being given
1" with his free will, but wrung from him by force.**
This Protest," the letter adds,.." he sent off by a
(4 Courier to the head of the family here Eat Paris j,
" to be deposited in the archives, until a proper
" occasion should offer for its production. But MINA
" intercepted the bearer of it, took a copy, and then
" allowed the Messenger to proceed with the origi-
" nal."—This letter accounts, but whether truly or'
not we cannot say, for the contents of FERDINAND'S
letter having transpired. We are unwilling to believe,
that a King should take an oath with a previously
avowed intention to break it as soon as he might find
it safe to do so; but history furnishes a similar ex-
ample of want of good faith on the part of a Mo-
narch—not, however, accompanied with perjury.—
An intercepted letter of our COARLES I. to his
ChlezN, desired her not to regard any promises he
might publicly come under to the Parliament party,
in his then circumstances, as being ultimately bind-
ing on his MaJarrY. On this very letter hinged the
fate of his Mansiir. CaostweLt, and his party were
satisfied that no pledge of sincerity could be obtained
from the KING, and we all know what was the result.
We shall still hope, however, till we obtain some
levidexce to the contrary, that no such letter as hasi

beer. stated was ever writter by the KING of SPA ix:
and that, of course, the story of such a letter hating
been intercepted, is a wicked fiction.

The Paris Papers .of Tuesday arrived last night,
and, in a preceding column, we have given large ex-
tracts from them. The Project on Individual Li-.
berty having passed through both Chamber% has
received the Royal Assent, and is published in the
Moniteur as a law. The other Project, for imposing
a Censorship on the Press, is still under discussion
'in the Chamber of Deputies. The Spanish news
consists almost wholly of official acts, more import-
ant than interesting.

We have also, this forenoon, received the Paris
Papers of Wednesday. The adjourned discussiou, in
the Chamber of Deputies, on the Project for subject-
ing the Press to a Censorship, was continued through-
out the whole. of Tuesday, and with an increased de.
gree of asperity on both sides of the House. A
variety of Amendments, too numerous to detail, were
proposed, but every one of them negatived, some of
them, however, by very- narrow majorities ;• and the
first four Articles of the Project, which embrace its
principal provisions, were adopted in the form pro-
posed by Ministers. The discussion was again ad-
journed tillWednesday,when it will probably be closed.

The Bulletin of the Ktso't Physicians, issued at
eight o'clock- on Tuesday morning, states, that his
MAitstv had passed the preceding day well, and
that his stomach complaint had quite abated. At
one o'cick he gave audience to the Archbishcp of
PARIS and to Prince TALLEVRAND.

The Journal. des Debats contains an addition to
the Spanish news of the preceding day, which is of
very considerable importance. We have just learnt,"
says its Madrid-article, " that the Constitution was
proclaimed in the Island of Cuba on the first of
January ; a fact of great importance, since it proves
that the combinations- of the constitutional party em-
braced
equally Spaiti and the Colonies. It was on
the first of January that QUIROCIA and the troops of
Andalusia rose in insurrection:'
