SITTING OF THE 6TH OF MAY.  The Committee brought up the outline of the Answer to the king. It is in substance as follows: " The Cortes have learned with much grief the crime which has just taken place; but the Government is invested with the power and the means necessary to provide for good order. " The Cones are confined by inviolable limits to the faculties of a Legislative Body, and can only set the example of respect to the laws. " The diplomatic relations which your Majesty maintains with other Powers, allow us to believe that a single fact will not suffice to give them an unfavourable opinion of our new Institutions."  General QUIROGA asked why so much bustle was made about the murder of a priest, when the individuals who assassinated two constitutional soldiers of the regiment of Seville, so far from being punished, have not even been discovered. M. Quiroga declared that the King is surrounded by perfidious Counsellors, who conceal the truth from him.  Count TOR R ENO remarked several important omissions in the Answer proposed, which, for instance, passes over in profound silence the scenes of disorder which have filled all the great cities of the Peninsula with terror.

He earnestly begs that he may be permitted to decline this high office, for the duties of which he considers himself unfit. Among other reasons, he urges the necessity of the CaptainGeneral being acquainted with the country and the people in which his command is established, and observes, that besides having come from abroad, he had never before resided in Madrid. The Minister replies, on the following day, that he had communicated his letter to the King, but that his Majesty would not admit the validity of his reasons for refusing the command, and insisted on his immediately accepting it. General Morillo wrote again to the Minister, stating that ile would go and take the command of the troops, that the service might not suffer by delay, but begging he might be allowed to resign. Having received no reply to this last letter, he went to the Palace, and obtained an audience of the King, to whom he repeated his reasons for wishing to decline the employment, but his Majesty would not accept his resignation.
