MONDAY, MAY W.  Oun Governors appear determined to rely on the majorities they can command, by the present lamentable state of the House of Commons, rather than. defer to the wishes of the Country at large. They made the King profess economical intentions when he opened the first Parliament of his reign, and how do his Ministers fulfil his gracious intention—why, though by the alteration in the state of currency 751. is equal to what 1001. was in 1816, when the rate of the Civil List was declared to be arranged from motives of delicacy only pro tempore, and on which account many unjustifiable charges were allowed to pass uncommented on ; —though England had then in fact to support one King, one Queen, a Heiress presumptive, and a Royal Duke, more than are living now to receive their stipends, yet Ministers take credit to themselves because they demand not an increase; well may we exclaim with our immortal bard—  " And be these juggling fiends no more believed, Who palter with us ins double sane. Who keep the woad of maga to our ear— But break it to our hope."  The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday have  arrived. The Renotamee informs informs its readers than an insurrection has broken out at Jamaica, not less general nor less bloody than that which desolate San Domingo. The people ofJamaica knew nothing, of this terrible tragedy when the last accounts were sent off, and must be surprised at their ignorance when they receive their information from the Freneh Journalist, who no doubt has adapted the falsehood to the taste of his readers—The eccle amities of Spain seem violently opposed to the Constitution of the Cortes, and do not pretend to dis. semble nor conceal their sentiments. Nothing can be a greater compliment to the Constitution than the hatred it excites in the Clergy, the unaiLerable friends and advocates of the Inquisition. A priest at Ordegtma, in Biscay, burning with furious zeal in favour of despotism, had the imprudence to burn a copy of the Constitution publicly in his church, telling the spectators that it was hostile to the principles of the Christian religion. The Authorities proceeded to arrest him, but he ran away, preferring an escape to Bayonne to martyrdom ! Another meddling ecclesiastic has fared worse.— Having preached publicly against the Constitution is the town of Carceres, tl.e t..ople of the town compelled the magistrates to throw him into prison, and prosecute the offend. Mina and the civil authorities of Navarre continue much at variance, and it is supposed he will not be able to maintain his post as Viceroy. The Journal des Debals mentions a report prevailing in Paris, that the Queen of England has been for some time in that city, where her Majesty observes a strict incognito. From what we state in another part of our paper it is needless to remark there is no foundation in the rumour.  The Paris Papers of Saturday last have arrived. The Chamber of Peers was summoned to meet on Monday, to commence its proceedings, preparatory to the public trial of Louvel, Oa murderer of the Duke of Berri. Thursday last an individual was taken into custody near the hotel of the Minister of the Interior, for uttering seditious expressions, such as—long live Vapoleon—he will relurn—he is my Sovereign—l am a soldier of the Republic— Long Live the Emperor, and several other ex• travagant exclamations. The man must be some political maniac who has thus exposed himself, by
