Whenever the Government of his Holiness may re¬ ceive from that of his Majesty the King of England and Hanover, the usual no¬ tification upon the change that has taken place with the Royal Person in question, he will consider it an imperious duty to pay to the Queen of England all the ho¬ nours due to her. (Signed) C. CARDINAL GONSALVL The provisional Junta at Madrid are on the point of sending Commissioners to South America, to treat upon terms of accommodation. The houour recently conferred on Sir Walter Scott was not merely a tribute of respect to his extraordinary talents, but may also be considered as a mark of the private esteem in which he has been long field by his Majesty, from whom it ema¬ nated, and from whose hands the Card some few years ago received a handsome gold snuff-box, containing a miniature portrait of the Royal Donor. The Constitution of the Cortes was proclaimed at Bilboa on the S9th of March, amid the acclamations of the people notwithstanding the opposition which was at first evinced to the adop¬ tion oftheucy government. The King continually expresses his satisfaction at having accepted the Con¬ stitution, and his regret at not having doue it sooner. He has become very popular, and gives audience to all who mm to see him. The Cortes were to meet on the 9th of July.—The Peninsula sends 149 De¬ puties ; thirty Americans, takeu from the number found in Spain, will repre¬ sent the Colonies. Civic feats take place every day at Madrid.—The Dukes and Marquises are eager to join in them, and are proud to receive the title oi citizens ! Ferdinand has breveted Quiroga, Rie- go, and Areo-Aguero, (Chiefs of the in¬ surrection,) Field Marshals. By a royal decree of the 25th March, addressed to all the authorities by the Minister of War, alt individuals compri¬ sed in the proceedings instituted against Field Marshals Esposy MIna, Don Juan Diaz Porlier, Don Mariarro, Renovales, Gen. Lacy, the Commissary of War Vin¬ cent Richard, as well as in the proceed¬ ings at Valencia in 1817 and 1819, and others of the same nature, have been re¬ instated in all their honours and occu¬ pations. Accounts have been received that Ge¬ nerals Freyre and Villavicencio had been arrested at Cadiz, accused of being the instigators of the affray, and of having given orders to the troops to fire ou the people. They were both in prison, wait¬ ing their trials. The province of Galicia was in a great ferment, the militia were arming, and n camp of observation was forming at V il- lafranca; they will remain under arms till the great work of the Constitution is accomplished throughout Spain. Great excitement existed at Valencia on the 19th and 20th of March. The people naturally irascible and vindictive, had demanded the head of Gen. Elio, who was shut up in the citadel. The ci¬ vil and military authorities could scarce¬ ly restrain the fury of the populace. A cotter had been dispatched to the island of Majorca, to bring home the deputies and other persons of distinc¬ tion, who had been exiled. The Madrid Gazette of March 30, contains the following decree by Ferdi¬ nand :— " As the Constitution to which I have sworn is the fundamental law which rules the rights and duties of Spaniards to¬ wards the throne and nation, considering that those who refuse to recognize the law of the land, thereby renounce the protection which it grants them, and the advantages which society acknowledges, as also the privilege of living in the ter¬ ritory of the country, 1 declare, conform¬ ably to the decrees of the General and Extraordinary Cortes of August 17, IS 12, that every Spaniard who refuses to acknowledge the political constitution of the monarchy, or who, in sv.eariug to it, does so with restrictions contrary to the spirit of this charter, is unworthy of be¬ ing regarded a3 such ; that he be legally deprived of honorary distinctions, civil employ, emoluments aud prerogatives, and separated from the territory of the monarchy ; and if he be an ecclesiastic, he shall be deprived of his living. I en¬ join, under the strictest responsibility, on all the political chiefs and other Consti¬ tutional authorities, the cxecntion of this my decree.

Some letters from the north speak of an approaching war between Russia and the Ottoman Porte. The Emperor Alex¬ ander is at the head of 800,000 soldiers, and the time is perhaps arrived when he can boldly accomplish the vast designs of his illustrious grandmother. England is not in a situation to oppose projects which ought to alarm her ; Prussia, a prey to real fears, aud to an interior fermenta¬ tion, can oppose no obstacles to them ; Austria cannot attack the Colossus^ with¬ out exposing herself to lose Gallicia, and to see Italy freed from foreign domina¬ tion : and France, the ancient ally of Turkey, is certainly not in a position to defend the empire of the crescent. The governments are, every where*, in bad intelligence with the people. Never could Russia have chosen a more favour¬ able moment to aggrandize her vast es¬ tates. Every where the oligarchies sur¬ round the thrones, and it is the most fa¬ tal support they can have. Romei Feb. 10. According to letters from Cairo, the celebrated Ali-Pacha with a considera¬ ble army has conquered Palestine, and a body of troops have already entered Je¬ rusalem. From Spain.

Captain Quincey left Cadiz on the iqth of April, at which time all was quiet in that city.The Troops that had fired on ihc inhabitants, had been difbanded, and fent to St. Marys. The inhabitants had armed themfelves to be prepared, fliould they again be attacked by the military.

THE QUEEN. The report of the Ipeedy arrival of the Queen, is (till more ftrongly prevalent, and is now combined with certain rumor* of confequent changes in Adminiftration. I We are ftill incredulous as to the inten¬ tion of her Majerty to reviik this country, and are yet lels inclined to give credit to any rumours of Minillerial changes. It is faid that the Queen has appointed Mr. Brougham her Attorney-General, and has inverted him alfo with fome other authori¬ ty, which flie 13 underftood to have a right to delegate, but which has not been fuffi- ciently explained.

The foregoing fummary and cxtraft«», are from the London Sun of the evening of the 19th. The following items, which we have not before published, are from o- ther late paper:., received at this office. An alliance, by marriage, is talked of between the Royal Uoufe of Audria and Pruffia. Private information from Rome, dates, that the Queen of England has lately a- dopted a plan of retirement thai alraofl a- mountR to entire feciuGem.

It is reported, (fays the Traveller) that a fort of Congrefs will be held at Verfailles on the 25th current, of a few confidential friends of two illudrious characters, at which her Majedy will be prefent in per- fon. A noble Earl, always high in the confidence cf the Princefs Charlotte, has had a private audience of leveral hours du¬ ration with his Majedy, and immediately afterwards fct out for the continent.

Several arreds have taken place at Glas¬ gow, of perfons fo refpeftable that the papers forbear to mention their names. A Lionefs, and three fine Odriches, have been brought from the Mediterra¬ nean, as a prefent to the King. The Ribbon men are far peaceable in Ireland.

The viftims of the madacre at Cadiz* on the icth of March, were 372 men, 39 women, and 27 children killed, and about 500 wounded, a great number of them fe- verely. A letter from Spain dates, that Colo¬ nel Infantes, of that army, on felicitating the King that he had acceded to the vvidi- es of the people, told his Majedy ** that the tioops would retain pofleffion of the Ifla. until the meeting of the Cortes. Ha¬ ving taken up arms for the good of the na¬ tion, it was to the Cortes alone they would reftorc them ; at the fame time, that in afting thus the army had no particular ob- jeft in view, but the defire of confolidating the conditutional fydem, and dtflipating fome fears that weie entertained." By a declaration of the Junta, all the refugee adherents of Jofeph Bonaparte are privil¬ eged to return home, and repoffefs their property. A private letter dates, that the daff officers of Cadiz have been deprived of their rank, and are to be tried for the occurrences of the 10th of March.—The Ruffian, Pruffian, Greek, and all other veffiels at Cadiz, with the exception of the Britifh, have been fent back to their res¬ pective countries. The Englida veflelfl are not only regularly paid their freight, but ordered to hold themfelves ready to put to fea ; whence it is inferred that all idea of fending out an expedition is not yet abandoned.

The trials for K 'h treafon, of Thiflle- wood and other- commenced, at the Old Bailey, on the 17th ult. ThiAlewood was condo&ed from hi» cell by a private pafTage under the court. He manifefted much fcrious abiti"£tion of mind, until the arrival of the judges, when he darted from his reverie, and . fcended the (teps with n firm and fteady ;lep. He had on a black coat, blue tr wl'ers, and boots. He requefled a feat, which was allowed him. After the jury was lwotn, tt»t lord chief jullice Abbott, flridtly forbid the publica¬ tion of the proceed'ng-s on thfi or any of the trials, until they fliould all be difpofed of.—The iudidment was then read, nnd | the pleadings commenced, the attorn* general having gone into a very W J pofition of the charge. adams's evidence. There were several stares in the room apparently just cut, and Thistlewoodexl pressed dissatisfaction that Kradburnhad not brought Ihc ferrules to put on the staves—meetings after this took place twice a day. up fo the 23d of February —Witness ptoI lected being at one meet¬ ing about 10 o'clock before the funeral of the late King—Harrison said he uh. dorstood most of the soldiers would be out of town at the King's funeral, as well as the Police Officers, and that he tho't this would be a good opportunity for kicking up a row.—Thistlewood acqul. esced, and suggested a plan for seizing two pteccs of cannon in Gray'slnn-lane and six in the aittttety ground; if this were well managed, they might be id possession of Loudon before morning— even if an express should be sent to Windsor for the army, by the time they arrived in London they would be too ti¬ red to do any tiring, and that they might even prevent any order leaving London to communicate \; ith Windsor. On Sa¬ turday U/th February another meeting took place in Fo\ court, and it was thea agreed that Wednesday ihe 23d should be the day of operations; and Thistle* wood stated the determination of attack- tag Ministers separately at their Houses^ .Ai.-ohf;rj (1r<;n ,vi re eOns'uidlV'dluil^jd^ fortius 6* West end job."-------It wasa|j<t agreed thai the Mnnsion-houseshouldbe takeu possession of, as the seat of the Provisional Government.—Thistlewood suggested that arms should be provided immediately, in order to preeeot surv prise ; and Brant added, that if an OS- cer presumed to make his appearauce he would run him through the body.— 'feeling, (one of those engaged in thij transaction) was to set (ire to different buildings in different parts of the Me* I tropolis, while others were employed id various other places. Brunt said, that whatever lot fell upon him to do in the "West end job" if he Jailed, that man should die upon the spot. To this wit¬ ness expostulated, aud Brunt added, that if he displayed any cowardice he should be run through. At the same meeting it was suggested, thatFuraiyal'i Jnn should be burnt down, and it was observed, tli.it rt would make a good firt. On Monday, the 21st of February, ano¬ ther party was held at witness's who communicated what he had heard from Hobbs, the landlord of the White Hart Inn, respecting ihe Police having infor* niation of their meetings. This caused great wrath, and they accused him of throwing cold water on their schemes. The following day, at another meeting, a man of the name of Edwards commu¬ nicated, that a Cabinet dinner was to be held at Lord Harrowby's house the next evening. They all expressed their )oy at the news, and Brunt said, **lMlbe cl- -d if I don't believe there is a God — I have often prayed that these thieves might be all together, in ordertobe reor¬ dered, and now he has heard my prayer." Thistlewood added ; that it would be* rare bout to murder them all, and imme¬ diately drew up a plau to carry it into execution. He wab to get the door open himself by knocking, to rush in, and throw hand grenades among the Minis* ters, and lo murder good and bad.—If any good were Minns? them, thev wertt , n% £k: n hUi ittu 1 . Kitpiiig ouu compa¬ ny.—Ings was to be one of the foremost, and to had on the rest. He determined to say to Lord Sidmouth, " Here is my Manchester Cavalry," and to say to his followers, " Lead ou citizens, do yonr yoai duty." He determined, with his own butcher's knife, to cut off the heads of every one of the Ministers, and to carry away those of Lords Castlereagh and Sid¬ mouth in triumph. It would also be necessary to go to the Telegraph over the water to take possession of that, and to prevent any communication going to Woolwich ; that, in the mean time a provisional govcrumeot might be formed, aud steps takeu at the seaports, especial¬ ly Dover, Brighton and Margate, to pre¬ vent any one from leaving the place with¬ out au order from the government.— Brighton, he said, was the most impor¬ tant. An armed force must be sent there, and he further added, that the present family had inherited the crown long enough, and it was of no use for the. new king ever to think of wearing the crown. Brunt and in^saflerwardscame IB, aud thf plan was communicated to them : but they disapproved of it, and said that nothing short of the assassina¬ tion of the ministers would satisfy them. Brunt told witness, two or three of (hem had drawn out a plau to assassinate mi¬ nisters, the first cabinet dinner they had. On Tuesday, April IS, Joseph Hall, an apprentice to Brunt, testified that the prisoner frequently came to Brunt's house, lie once saw twenty poles in the room. On the IJd of Feb. he saw his master and others put new Hints into pis¬ tols. He procured for his master six sheets of cartridge paper, and saw a pike head and a sword. At six in the eveu* ing, Brunt went away, and at nine re¬ turned very dirty and much confounded. He said to his wife, " It is all up, I have saved my life, and that is all." Just as he had ^aid that, another man came in, and Brunt shook hands with him, ask¬ ing him whether he knew who had In¬ formed. Tin- man answered 4 uo.' Brunt was arretted the next morning.
