Intelligence OF great importance has

ter:
PARIS, Feb. ga courier arrived
last aigh, from Madrid, which be lett on
the 22d INST. bringing papers and letters
10 that date. The last labors OF that bo-
dy were to provide for the transference
of the seat of government to Cadiz, or
some other town, in case the capital were
menaced by The invasion Of foreign ar
my. After The dissolution OF the extra
ordinary legislature. the ministers waited
upon The king 10 consult bin about the
execution OF The decree. His majesty
showed an invincible repugnance 10 CON
ply with their wishes. or 10 authorize any
arrangement for leaving Tie capital. accu-
sing them OF having acted contrary to his
commands in ring the proposition which
had received the legislative sanction. Al
ter declaring that ae would not comply
With the decree, be required the ministers
to surrender their seals of Office. The
decree of destitution was countenigned
by Egea, The minister Of finance. upon an
understanding with his colleagues accor-
ding to the Especlador. that any one to
whom his majesty should apply for such a
purpose would first sign the decree, aud
then tender bis owD resignation. As soon
as these events became public, great agi-
tation took place in the masonic clubs
among the partisans OF the ministers and
the party that had supported the decree
Of the Cores, to which his majesty show.
I'd such repugnance. A crowd collected
around the palace, Eociforating neaaces
against the person OF the king, calling out
tor regency, and testifying, in every
way, their Indignation at the dismissal Of
ministers and its cause. The crowd was
not great. aud appeared to be guided by
snms persons OF higher station and great
influence they would probably have
even entered and proceeded TO the apart
ments OF the king. had they not been re
strained by the grenadiels 'or militia, who
dispersed them.
That the whole has been the work
Of intrigue and corruption there can be
little doubt. The Cores bad been dis
solved before it was thought prudent to
make any attempt to disturb the public
tranquility I, was known or suspected
that bis majesty wished to get rid OF the
ministers, and 10 entrust their portieuilles
to Councillors of State The Cortes.
therefore, passed decree, that though a
councillor CT state might accept OF mill
tary appointment. he could not become
id interim minister. v ben, therefore,
the king required the resignation of the
seven patriots he must have known that
he would be without government. and
that lie must inlrust the seals 10 the chief
clerks in utlise. In this situation would
the kingdom be left while internal trou-
bles were to be appeased and foreign in
vasion resisted. II on the otLer hand, be
was compelled by popular movement to
