We understand that orders have been issued from
the Treasury, to the LORD CHA.U3ERLAIN, the Board

of Works, and all to whose different departments the

business belongs, to prepare forthwith an estimate of
the expenses that may be necessary for the Coronation
of the KING, which is to take place in the approach-
ing summer.

We have this morning received letters and news-
papers from Gibraltar to the 19th ultimo. The sub-
joined letter, which notices the massacre perpetrated
in Andalusia by the military under General FRETRE,
contains some particulars not noticed in the accounts
previously received. The Bishop of Caorg, whether
truly or falsely, we have not yet the means of know-
ing, is reported, in the accounts received at Gibraltar,
to have been the instigator to this atrocity. General
Joys CYDONNEL, the same who endeavoured to en-
trap the Insurgent Chief, Rtzco, has been deserted
by 11:s troops, and is now a fugitive in the neighbour-
hood of Sr. Roque. The accounts from Madtid in
the .Gibraltar Chronicle are not later than those which
have already been laid before our Readers. We sub-
jo:n a letter from our Correspondent at Gibraltar:
" GII3RALT.IR, MARCH Is.
" On the 9th inst. a dreadful massacre took place at
Cad:z. General Eanyar. (who had been recently ap-
plinted Captaiii-Gencral of Andalusia) invited Qt':
ao&A (the Insurgent Chief) to enter and assist at the
ceremony of swcaring to the Constitution. Everything
was prepared, and th:.• troops under arms in the square
of St. Antonio. A few minutes previous .to the
ceremony, the regiment Of Grids suddenly shouted
Vfva e! Rey, and fired on the populace, of whom
about 500 or 600 were, it is said, killed and wounded.
The • Bishop of Cadiz is supposed to have been the
instigator —he has been confined, and, it is supposed,
will be brought to punishment. Every town in this
Proirince has proc!aimed the Constitution, and the

greatest part of them did it bcfoie the King's order
• arrived. General NIIRANDA, the late Governor of
Ceuta, and General VENEGAS, of Corunna, are in
this garrison ; the latter was brought into the Bay
a-prisoner on board a Spanish ship, on board which
lie had been brought from Corunna, having beers
expelled thence by the Insurgent party ; he was libe-
rated from the vmel at the remonstrance of G-aneral
Dos. General uTSZE O'DoNNEL is a fugitive ;n the
neighbourhood of St. Roque, having been entirely
de;:erted by his troops. Ilis wife is in Gibraltar,
and it is rumoured that she has been the authc.r of
a report of a vesiel from the Coast of Africa having
allnwed to communicate with the Isla de
I._,toni, without the enforcement of the quarantine
regulations ; in consequence of w!lich the Governor
(General Dos) has placed a cordo.; which still re-
mains, to the great aanoyance of the inhabitants,
and iljory to trade.—The Ante:ican frigate Guer-
t;,:re, and big Spark, sailed up the Mediterranean
On the 13th, and on the ith the Franklin, 80 guns,
Commodore STr.wAnr, for America. On the ISth
the corvette Peacock, was lying, at Gibraltar.'

The KING of PRUSSIA is said to have been seized
wi;.ll so much alarm on receiving the first account of
tl.c neir turn which affairs were taking in Spain, that
he instantly prohibited every allusion to Spain in the
Prussian Journals. The cause of this alarm cannot,
we presume, be any secret to our Readers. The
Spaniards have nobly recovered a Constitution which
was taken from them by their King ; the Prussians
have to get from their King that Constitution which
years ago he promised to confer upon them—a pro-
mise which he solemnly and deliberately confirmed
at the Congress of Vienna, in 1814, but which has
item- ye' been fulfilled ; nor have satisfactory reasons
been given to his people for the delay. The example
of a nation vindicating their rights is a catching thing;
and his PRUSSIAN MAJISTY shews the usual policy
of arbitrary power, in veiling it as much as possible
from the eyes of his subjects.

A similar alarm. but attended with a more salu-
till effect, seems to have spread itself to other quar-
ter& The Grand Duke of HESSIS-DAIRDISTADT has
;.ist issued, with all the appearance of some haste
.tbout it, an Act, establishing a Constitution for the
different territories, old and new, which are consoli-
dated under his dominion. " When the Germanic
Confederation," says his Highness, " was established,
and when the hopeeof better and more tranquil times
appeared about to be realized, we were among the
Viinces of Germany, who declared spontaneously, at
Vienna, in the face of the world, their firm resolve
