'EMALE REFORMERs


the Manchester Observer, by the secre-
tary of the female club at Stockport, who
is indignant at the Liverpool Courier.
The preceding part relating to the for
nation of said society, we omit.
Ertract--' We hope the Liverpool
Courier will not start from his seat
when he reads the declaration * rules OF
the Female Union Society; which de-
clare that we will instil into the minds
of our children what he calls revolution
airy principles, but what we call princi-
piles which will safely carry them
through the maze of political ignorance
which now pervades the circle of the
high orders.
On behalf of the committee,
MARY HALLAM, Sec.
Union Rooms, London place,
Stockport, July IA, 1879"
To the Editor Of the Manchester o.
Server.
SRI send you the following !" Rules
of the West of England Female Union
Society, to show that the flame of liberty
from the north has reached the west"
Your most obedient servant,
ANXIOUS.
That we assist the male population
in recovering their invaded rights and
in obtaining full, free, and fair repre-
sentation in parliament, by means of
house-holders' suffrage, annual parlia-
ments, and election by ballot. That cv-
cry female, on being enrolled a member
OF this society, pay down one shilling J;
and continue to pay one penny weekly,
SO long as she shall remain member.
That the unmeaning distinction of
wing and tory, be not entertained, but
that we train up our children in the in
vestgation of measures, and strongly
persuade them that no man ought to be
entrusted with power any length of time
which should enable him to abuse it.
That our representatives should be elect
ed by Private ballot, as the only means
OF annlhilating corruption. That every
county, according to the number of cleo
tors, should elect their share of repre-
sentatiyes.

Letters from Madrid, dated the 10th
lnstant, mention that Don Luis Onis,
the late Spanish envoy in the United
States, the negociator of the Florida
treaty, and the expected successor of
Casa YruJo, had been arrested in Val
ladolid, where, il will be remembered.
he had received orders to stop, on his
way from Paris to the capital Casa
Yrujo had been conveyed a prisoner
from Avila to the convent of Miravel,
which, we believe, is situated in a Sc
cluded spot, not far from Avila.
Three judges, under the immediate
superintendent of the king, have been
commissioned to investigate the charges
brought against both Yrujo and Onis.
King Ferdinand seems determined to
make an attempt to exculpate himself, at
least as far as the public is concerned,
from any blame in the Florida transac-
ton.
A letter from Cadiz, dated 9th July,
mentions that 10 sail of transports, with
troops for the West Indies, were order
ed to sail, viz. 6 French vessels, Rus
sian, 2 Spanish, and English. Their
destination was kept profound secret,
though it was given out that they were
intended for Havana, in consequence of
the misunderstanding respecting the
Florida treaty. This body OF men has
been detached from the grand expedi-
tion, which it was thought, could not sail
before September,
Letters received from Gibraltar, dated
9th inst. state that an alarming revolu-
tion had broken out at Cadiz. The
troops had refused to embark for South
America. Gen. O'Donnel, the com
mander in chief, was at the head of the
instruction. The troops were on their
march for Madrid. Gen. Don had re-
ceived the particulars at Gibraltar, by
express from Cadiz.
The arrival of the packet ship Amity,
Maxwell, at New-York, in SO days from
Liverpool, furnishes London dates to
the goth, and Liverpool to the 5lst July.
The intelligence (via London) from
Madrid, of the 10th July, relative to the
arrest of Don Onis, cannot be correct, as
we have an arrival at Philadelphia, direct
from Cadiz, bringing Cadiz papers to
the Doth July, and Madrid Gazettes to
18th July. In these it is stated that
6 Don Onis had reached his estates in
Old CASTLE, and was expected at Mad
rid about the 28th, the day fixed for the
