French letters from Seville, tell us that " the ram

" parts (of Cadiz) are in bad condition. without arid
4" lery, without aininnnition;" that " conft,lon reigns
" in the interior I and that the population is discontent-
" ed." What, then, keeps the French out? Why do
they not march over the destitute ramparts and liberate
the King? Are they such despicable cowards as to fear
the clenched hands dr the Members of the tortes would
drive them over the ramparts 1n•o the waves ?
BULLS.—The Dukin Evening Post, in announcing
the death of Mr. Hutchinson, says he " died on Isis
passage to the East Indies alonA• with the ship:—and
every soul on board." This is the first time we have
heard of the death of either ships or soub.
The fears which the French entertain ofthe result of the
campaign in the Peninsula may be seen by the eagerness
with which they retail the meat paltry occurrences that
seem to mend their chance. The Journal des Debais,
says—" a letter from Urenada assures us that day, (the
9th inst.) 11411.:steros bad been reported wounded at
Santa Fr.

SILK Wearees.—We see that the Spitslfields Weavers
are indulging themselves with mutual congratulation's
on the respite that has been obtained for the Spitalfirlds
Acts. We would not wish to mar their enjoyment; but
we have to tell them that the battle is not pet won. Mr.
Huskisson is pled; ere to return to take the field against
then, He refused to take the amended bill from the
Lords, because he thought his duty compelled hint to
have all that his till required. Master Manufar.
torero, who are against the present regulations, know
that the House of Com:nons is in their favour ; and they
know besides what operated upon the minds of the
Chancellor, Lord Harrowby. and the other Minis'ori.l
friends of the weavers upon this occasion; and they w:li
renew their applications, upon the assurance that toe
House of Commons is with them, And that the Heuse of
Lords is well disnosed enough to recognise the /i6erdpeim
eiplesoffree trade,if it could be done without dangt Ito the
peace of the metropolis. We dill our duty to the wwc:•.,
1 and to the public, uo the discussion ; and we have recent
to know that (me arguments had their weight. It is
now an equal ditty to warn the weavers against any in-
difference to their own interests in fntare, and against
any difference among themselves ; fur if they are MI( AS
Alert anti tin4niutous as they have been, they will hint
they have rejJiet d without reason.
New Bern BiLL.—Mr. Chapman, of Bagnigge iVelle
Brewery, has handed to us a gatemen', by which it ap-
pears the only advantage which the public will derive
front the New Beer Bill, will be to pay upon every (lose
ter of malt so consumed an extra do' of 14s. O-
lin' statement is, that •• table beer at present pays a
duty of 13s. us 6i barrels brewed from the tlitarter;
o lisle the new beer, brewing b& barrels front the winter,
is to pay a duty of Zio. per barrel, or g7ll. 64. u, on the
quarter of malt. This is an odd sort of a boon to the
people; hut it is an mach like all the rest of the Treat:arty
bleseivs, that we Are not surprised at it. It was very
kind to wish the people to have better beer; be% the oh
,fret of the Chandelier nds evidently to 'rot more its tax-
ation than was paid by the of table herr,
