TO THE SPANIARDS.

" Sear/1/.llos I--The Regency addresses itself to you
in the excess of its most poignant grief, not to excite
the constant loyalty of your hearts, be- , ,se the Spa.
niards cannot cease to be faithful to the ,:91:1 of our Fa-
ther, and to our beloved Sovereign ; but to assuage the
bitterness of its affliction or yours, at the sight of the
evils which may ensue from the melancholy situation
in which the perfidious enemies of the country have
placed us.
" Yon are witnesses of the forbearance, the mildness,
the indulgence, with which the partisans of irreligion,
licentiousness, and anarchy, have been treated. Yon
have, it is true, sometimes deplored the impunity which
men so criminal enjoy in all places ; and the Regency
would even have feared scenes calculated to cause scan-
dal, if, convinced of your wise patriotism, it bad not
known that you were acquainted with the motive of its
so mild and tolerant conduct. It must be said frankly,
this motive was, the liberty of the King and of his au.
gust family.
" Spaniards, you know it,eur legitimate and adored So
vereign has been deprived of the throne of his fathers.—
So horrible a crime has been committed to revenge the
heroic answer of the Monarch, to the proposal to remove
him to Cadiz—an answer,the words of which ought to be
written on marble and brass. They will be the finest or-
nament of history for many ages, and they will always be
engraved on the hearts of all Spaniards.
" My conscience, and the interest of my subjects, do
not permit me to leave this place. As an individual, or
a private person, L should see no inconvenience in remov-
ing to another place; but, as a King, my conscience does
not permit me to do ea.'
" lo speaking thus, Ferdinand has manifested hi;
great soul and his love of his people. A Regency,
named by the most furious demagogues, has been the
consequence of so much heroism : and Ferdinand and his
Consort, and all the Royal Family, have been violently
transfened to Cadiz ;—where that act destructive
of Religion and the Monarchy arose. There the Mc-
porch now is a prisoner ; there is the Royal Family ; and
can there be a Spaniard who can see such an event n ith-
out indignation and without horror.
" Spaniards! Your Government confesses that it can
find no expression fit to paint so horrible a crime; your
—meat feels itself reduced to the eloquence of

silence.
The Regency of the Kingdom confounded, it is true,
by se treat a crime, will not neglect to take, and it has
taken firm and energetic measures to punish its authors,
' and to remedy the evils caused by the implacable enemies
of GOD and of the Monarch. Prudence and tritely will
govern all its resolutions. You will cooperate in so just
an object, by confiding in your Government, which will
unremittingly pursue those whose infernal rage has filled
oar hearts with mourning.'.

WEECLY RIAISTILIC OF WELTH.R. The last week com-
menced with as gloomy a sky and as harsh an atmosphere as
i
ever were experienced n the month of June; and Monday
was as cheerless as Sunday. Towards night, however,
there were some symptoms of the wind removing from the
north-east quarter, in which it bad so long and uncomfort-
wy continued; end Tuesday and Wednesday were miler,
with the wind at South-west. On Wednesday evening,
fell
a shower which had bees for some time desired by the
gardeners about town; and on Friday afternoon there was
a very severe thunder-storm, accompanied with heavy hail.
The lightning damaged a house in Whitechapel. without de-
stroying any of the inhabitants; but the hail killed a great
number of young rooks in Essex. On Saturday, also, there
were thunder showers ; and yesterday afternoon there was
another thunder storm, with hail, which fell, about the mid-
dle of the Stratd, in unusual quantities, and with uncom-
mon violence. Both that and the storm of Friday were,
however, very circumscribed. The quantity of mill nod
melted hail fallen here since Saturday siennight, amounts to
one ineb and a half.

CURIOUS PAISNOMKNON. AT SCARBOROUGH: 00 TOP
day. the town of Scarborough was visited with a kind of
hurricane. It was first seen to commence at a small villages
near Faisgrave, about a mile from Scarborough ; its appear.
anee was like a cloud—it passed off the turnpike-road,*
direction towards the sea; passed through a pianist's* sod
tore up two of the trees ; then passed on the seashore, led
shattered a machine (called • Camera Obseara, which iatl
just fitted for exhibition) to pieces. It then approached*,
bathing machines, and carried about a dozen of them JO
the.ses, leaving them destitute of their wheels; them peg*
into the harbour, and cast away two or three of *ern,
which happened' to be in its direction, taking am
the pier, and crushing two or three cobbles nearly:al
it then burst against the end of the pier, but
no lives were lost—( York Herald.)
