LATER FROM ENGLAND.

The accounts from SPAN, via Frame
continue to represent the subjects of Ferdi
nand as in state almost bordering on anar.
chy; and the London Courier, in the bitter.
ness OF its feelings towards liberal princi-
piles, echoes these reports by asserting, thai
"plots and counterplots, banishme nts, exc
cutions, assassInations, rapine and civil
strife daily increase" This, no doubt, is
the state Of things which despotism would
wish 10 see introduced into Spain; and it is
only because the firm measures pursued by
the Cortes have contrary tendency, that
the enemies Of liberty decry The patriotic ef-
forts Of its friends, and libel brave and
gallant nstion.-.The king and few of his
monkish advisers stand alone in their oppo-
sition TO the pubic will, and appear TO have
done every thing in their power to prevent
the convoking o! the extraordinary Cortes.
The convocation, however, will take place
in spite oil them, and thus pave the way 10
the utter determination of every thing hos
tile to the liberty of the people.

offences as members Of the Eortes may
commit by means of the Pres The new
law subjects the Deputies to the proVi-
sions of that of November 90. 1920, on Of
fences of this nature; bat directs the Ju-
rors to be taken from among the mem
bers of the Cortes, and reserves 70 the
first Chamber of the Tribunal of Cortes
the right of receiving all appeals from the
first tribunal in such cases.
The Cortes have been officially lntor-
med of the arrival at CadIz OF two Com-
missioners sent bv Gen Bolivar, to neSo-
rate with his Maiestys Government the
settlement Of that Generals Pretensions'
and the securing Of tranquility OF North
America. The circumstance, that hos
tilities were to re-commence on the Ssth
of April in that qaarter, was reported at
the same time; and deputy having NOV
ed, that government should be directed to
issue the requisite orders, that that war
might be conducted -on the principles OF
the law of nations, it was decided, that
the motion should be entertained In Sc
cret sitting
A Madrid paper (Es Uniuersal, of the
18th of May, says that, in the secret sit
ting holden on the evening OF that day,
Ministers mado report to the Cortes on
the state of the political relations OF
Spain with foreign powers; and that the
new Minister of State (Bardaji) positive
ly assured them, that there was not the
least reason to suspect that any power IN
tended to interfere in their domestic at
fairs; notwithstanding which, it was ex'
pedient to put both the army and the for
tresses on that respectable footing which
was called for by the dignity of the Span,
ish nation in the present political state OF
Europe-it seems that the War Minister
strongly supported the opinion of his
colleague.
The Cortes have approved the 9Th ar
ticle of the law-project relative to the a
BOLTON of seigneural rights, stating, in
substance, that, until the cideDdnt Lords
shall have obtained a sentence declaring
that their lands are not reversible to the
nation, and that the conditions upon
which they were granted have been com
piled with, their former vassals shall not
be bound to pay any of the payments
which they have hitherto made as such;
with this proviso, however, that, if the ca
deUant Lords intend to produce their ii,
ties, their former vassals shall find secu'
rity that, in case Of the sentence being q.
galnst them, they shall make up whate'
yer shall have become due during the in.
vestigation.
The interests of the Dutch debt, from
the llth of September last EDWARDS, are
to be paid by the Spanish government tc
the creditors, and such as had become
due previous to that date are to be carried
to the account of arrears, the government
being further directed to propose, as soon
as possible, the fairest mode of dischar,
ging the latter.
His Catholic. Majesty has refused tc
sanction the late decree of the Cortes
relative to patriotic societies, and, conse,
quently, the prohibitory law of the 22d
October last, against such societies, con
tinue in force.

they possess. The front OF one small house
alone has been let for one thousand gulueasi

dopted which promises more extended
degree Of accommodation than was at FIRST
contemplated, and by which seats command
ing perfect view OF the whole Of the out
Goor procession may be obtained at an ex.
tremeIy moderate price. This plan will
embrace the erection OF ampbitheatricsi
benches, rising gradually from within about
FIVE feet of the platform, TO the height OF
nearly ten yards; capable OF receiving with
case and comfort. nearly 10000 persons;
and running parallel for several hundred
feet, with the platform itself.
The execution Of this plan commenced
yesterday and the settle is he Garden Square
extending from St. Msrgaret's Church TO
Little Bridge street, on one side OF the plat
form-and from the corner of Great George
street to The Sessions House, and IRON thence
to the western door of the Abbey on the
other. The whole will be covered in with 4
spacious awning, completely weather tight;
and will be lined with mating, crimson
cloth, and draperies, in unison With the de-
corations OF the platform; forming as it were.
a part Of one magnificent theatre. To add
to its other recommendations The gardens i'm.
mediately behind will be fitted up with ran.
ges Of boxes or bars, retiring rooms and o.
ther places; where every description OF re-
freshment may be had upon the same scale
and with the same degree Of regularity as at
Yauxhall Gardens.
We are happy to observe that COM
mittee of Surveyors ana Architects has
been appointed to superintend the various
erections. so as to secure such degree of
strength as shall prevent accidents.

To THE CITIzENs OF ALEXANDRIA.
1t is asked, in the name of common
sense. what solid reason or motive can be
assinged for the late project of driving
the watermelon craft from the dock and
wharves, where they have always offered
their cargoes for sale. ever since the arti-
Gle has been brought to market, and OF
sending them to the most remote corner
of the town: and to the end Of wharf
where the craft cannot be in safety IN
hard winds from more than half the points
of the compass9 has any medical sages
lately discovered that water-melons sold
at the old station, has tendency to gene
rate pestilence, more now than hereto
foceo 1t can easily be established incon
trovertibly, that the neighborhood Of the
old watermelon dock, has invariably en-
joyed as good health as any other quarter
of the town; and who could take on them
selves to affirm that it is likely that the
contrary would be the case hereafter? 1t
cannot be asserted then that the sale OF
water-melons at the old place is more
likely to injure the health OF the town than
at the new place. Why then has the pre-
sent inconvenience been imposed upon,
both the buyers and sellers of that exhili-
rating fruit, which the bounty of Provi'
dence has bestowed in abundance, and
which undoubtedly is contributive to
health when not used to excess. 1t is un.
necessary to state that excess of any KIND
is injurious to health.
Besides, the owners and tenants of hou.
ses and wharves at the old station, have
taken their measures, and stipulated their
rents upon the calculation ofenjoying the
casual profits and perquisites which the
immemorial courses OF trade warranted
them to expect, all these are now to be
disappoi' ed in their reasonable expecta
ton and chances of incidental profit
they are to be sacrificed in order to fostel
some new interest more powerful in in
trigue, and their can be no doubt in the
minds of the dispassionate, but that this
is the grand operating motive for this ca
PRECIOUS and arbitrary measure. The
health of the town may be made the pre-
text, but some influential private Interest
is the real ground work. The citizens
would do we'll to look into and deliberate
ly weigh the measures Of their town
Legislators and set their faces against
these fantastical schemes, before they
successfully drive ali the trade from'the
town, which seems to be their aim.

INTERESTING TO MERCHANTS.
Among the items Of foreign intelligence
we find the following:
A Bill is now before the House OF Com
mons to regulate scceptances OF Bills OF Elk
change, and will be found Of peculiar I'M
portance to commercial men:-frst, 1t de-
stroys parole acceptanees; secondly, It en-
acts that acceptances Of Bills OF Exchange
made payable at Bankers shall hereafter be
deemed general and not special acceptances'
This Bill has grown out Of the important ae-
csion in the case Of Rowe and Young by the
House of Lords; that House having deter
mined, contrary to decision of the Court
of Kings Bench, and very large majority
of the Judges, that acceptanees at Bankers
were special acceptances, and bound the
acceptor by presentment at the Bankers on
" and not elsewhere. The greatest possible
confusion having grown out OF this decision
of,he Lords, the present Bill is brought in to
remedy it. Faf'os'
