,cod the other ought to have obeyed, and ought ever;
le obey and punctually to fulfil the measures of his
Majesty, which have cot been carried into effect, the
Cortes being sore that this resolution will be sufficient"
for those Authorities, and all whom their ezampie has
misled, to return to their duty, without placing the

National Representation in the afflicting necessity of
adopting other measures."
The Address concludes with assurances of • the
termination of the Cortes to unite with his Majesty in
maintaining the Constitution.
A debase arose on the point Whetki4,e • tin second
part of. the Report which was presented should now
be opened and read, and it was at length decided by
114 votes to 64, that it should not. The time fixed
for the duration of the Sitting being expired, it was
resolved to prolong it for one hour, and Martinez de
Is Rosa wished to have the Sitting declared perma-
nent, thinking the debate on this important subject
ought not to be delayed ; it was, however, decided
that the Report of the Committee should be laid on
the table fur the information of the Members, and it
should be discussed the following day..
By the accounts from Cadiz, the yellow fever at
Port St. Mary's, Xeres, and Lebrija, remain pretty
nwrly in the same state.—(3ladrid Papers, Dec. 10.)

Fines.— We last week reported. an incendiary fire atl
Pioche*, 14 NOtfolk, and .we lament, ntry to have tp I
notice the reenrrence of several allitik et Alford, in,
Lincolnshire. On the 3,1 instant, about twelve o'clock
at night, an alarming fire broke out on the premises
of H. Wilson, Esq. solicitor, of that pl ice, and d,e-
stroyed four lily and one straw stacks. On the Sib
another fire broke out, at about one o'clock in the,
morning, on the premises of Mr. Richard Braim,
when nine stacks of corn and hay were destroyed. In
consequence of these fires, which there can be no ques-
tion were the work of incendiaries, the inhabitants of
Alford established a voluntary watch of twelve men, to
patrole from seven in the evening to seven in the morn-
ing ;'but notwithstanding this precautiou a third fire
occurred on the 16th inst. and destroyed a straw stack,
and a hay stack which adjoined it nould have shared
the same fate but for the exertions of the persons who
assembled on the alarm being given. The mischief
sought to be inflicted on private individuals by these
diabolical proceedings is in most cases defeated, by the
parties having bad the prudence to insure their pro-
perty, but still the events, in a moral point pf
_view,
,are deeply to be deplored.—The consequences which
ensue from the burning of property can only aggra-
vate the evils experienced, for the work ulen of the par-
ties whose property is destroyed must be discharged,
and thus much misery ensues to many honest labourers.
We sincerely hope We shall be spared the pain of re-
peating the farther spread of so desperate a spirit.—
(Nutrich Meicitry.)
On the evening of the 12th inst. a fire broke out in
the stable of Mr. Brushwood, a farmer, at Long Parish,
in Hampshire, and communicated to his dwelling-house,
and a large barn, in which were between 30 and 40
quarters of barley; the whole of which, together with
the building!, were quickly destroyed. Four Iflrses
were burnt to death. There were also consumed a
pea rick, oat den, and half a hay rick ; a very large
wheat rick was saved by the firemen, who worked the
Andover engines and the engine of the Norwich 'Union
Fire Insurance Society, which was brought with great
quickness from Whitchurch to the spot. The flakes
of fire were driven by the wind towards the ad-
joining farm-house of Mr. Colton ; this also took fire,
and was •totally consumed. The buildings were in-
sured, bukaat nay pf tliei stock.—(!Lid.)
