tee did not meet on Mosby, but on Tuesday the
tusion was to be resumed on the projet respecting
repression of the offences of the Press. A Flanders
arrived last night with Brussels papers, which
tale intelligence from Ceustaatinopk to the 19th
of a very warlike complexion. These accounts
ag similar to what we had formerly received, it
tecessary to detail, especially u &deices are said to

her version of the accounts which came by the
of Hamburg, and are dated a fortnight before.—,
accounts state that the Porte had delivered to
ritish and Austrian Ambassadors a Note respect-
the Russian ultimatum, which was of a very pa-
nature. The Porte desisted from its demand of
immediate delivering up of the Oreek fugitives,
declared its readiness to evacuate Moldavia and

Monarchs might preserve peace, and take care

tees. The eompliments the Kieg bestows up.n them
on his relactaat parting iftli them, will have little
tendency to recommend them to the •favour of the
people. An Inquiry into their eandoet will probably
' be one of the first objects to Which the attention of
the next Cortes will be directed. One of the Madrid
journals. alluding to this subject, observes—" The
Ministers are only suspended from their functions un-
til the approaching meeting of the Ordinary Coney,
which is the period at which they must render an ac-
count or their transactions. In fact, a total discharge
might bare relieved them from their responsibility.
to which they will be mere closely held by a mere sus-
passion. The next Cortes will net be disposed to
spare them ; and we ire fond to believe that Minis-
terial responsibility will nut be found altogether ilk-
gory in Spain."
The Cortes is proceeding in the enactment of a pe-
ed
cede. Oa* article subjects to a fine of from 15 to
130 dollars, and from three months' to one year's im-
prisonment, any person, convicted of libel on the Con•
• whetheaby invective or satire; but it is ad-
ded, "If this offence should be committed by a public
reactionary, or by an ecclesiastic, regular or secular,
exercising his minietry, the fine should be doubled,
with an imprisonment of from eight months to three
years."—The Territorial Audiencia of New Castile has
sentenced John Anderson. a native of Dublin, to one
year's imprisonment and expulsion from Spain. for be-
ing engaged lea conspiracy against the constitutional
system of government.
A report was recently circulated that G 1 Riego

11th instant, in which his Majesty signifies that in
commemoration of the man affecting proofs of at-
tachmeat to his Majesty's person and family, given
by the faithful Haaeveriens during his late visit, his
Mstesty has resolved to decree the introduction of a
national cockade: it is to be black with a yellow
and white border, to be considered as an emblem of
attachaseat to the Royal boss*, and of true patriot-
ism, and a mark of honour for all those who are en-
titled to wear it. All persons in office are to wear it
in their hats, and all native or other subjects of the
kingdom of Hanover, who have completed their 20th
year are allowed to wear it. The right of wearing it
is to be forfeited by cowardice is the presence of the
enemy ; by illegally quitting the service; or by crimes
which are punished by hard labour in the house of
correction; and other similar penalties.
