In Sheffield the poor-rates were, in 1820, 36,000; 1821, 35,000!; 1822, 19,0004; and in 1823, according to the estimates which had been made, would not be more than 13,000; being, in the course of two years, a reduction of one-third.

This reduction of taxes is about equal to the whole amount of the public debt of the United States.

BRITISH AFFAIRS.

We have carefully looked over the great mass of foreign articles lately received, to discover what had been omitted which seemed necessary to explain events happening in Europe, or that would be useful for reference; and have thought it right that the following should be inserted.

The British house of lords rejected, by a majority of 7 votes, 80 to 73, the bill, passed by the house of commons, admitting English catholics to the right of voting. Only two bishops, those of Nor. wich and Kildare, voted for the bill. It was supported by lords Liverpool and Harrowby, and opposed by the chancellor, lord Eldon.

A steam ship regularly plies between Falmouth and Corunna, in Spain. The voyage is made in about 50 hours. She also proceeds with the mails to Lisbon and Cadiz.

From a paragraph in a Galway paper, it appears that the lower orders there have begun to bury their dead without coffins,

Presents from the nabob of Oude to the king-The Glasgow frigate, (on board of which the late governor-general of India came to Europe), has brought to England, as presents from the nabob of Oude to his majesty, several articles of considerable value, being estimated at upwards of £200,000. Among them are a sword, set in diamonds, a belt, and sword knot; the latter composed of diamonds, and other precious jewels of the most costly description; and suspended to it is an emerald of great value, it being considered the largest extant, and nearly the size of an egg. The whole are landed, and will be presented by capt. Doyle to the king. A bird of Paradise alive has also been brought to England in this ship, which we believe to be the only attempt of this kind ever made with success. A bull and cow, of a small white breed, which the Hindoos worship, have also arrived as a present to the princess.

According to letters from Marseilles, the Sardi nian navy has orders to capture all the Spanish pirates, [privateers], in their power. Several vessels from the port of Genoa have already made prizes. The "corrective tribunal" at Paris has condemn. ed, to six months imprisonment and a fine of 2000 francs, the editor of the Paris paper called the Pi lote, for copying into his paper, from the London Morning Chronicle, "a pretended secret treaty concluded at Verona, between the powers composing the holy alliance."

The same tribunal has condemned the person called Lochet, a lawyer, to six months imprisonment and a fine of five hundred francs, for having uttered words injurious to his majesty, when he heard the official news from the army of Spain, cried in the streets.

prevented his voting its appointment, which circumstance he now publishes, in order that it may be known that he despises the decree of proscription made by the regency of Spain and the Indies, as it is styled, against the deputies that voted the appointment of the constitutional regency.

Barcelona, which, it is said, the French have invested, is the capital of Catalonia, and one of the strongest places, by nature and art, in Spain. It is defended by powerful castles and massy walls, bristling with the heaviest cannon, and every thing in the best condition-but yet more remarkable for the industry of its inhabitants and their devotion to liberty, for the reason that it is the greatest place of manufacture in the peninsula, and its wealthy and hard-fisted mechanics will all become soldiers, if needful. Of arms and the munitions of war, they have ample supplies-they make the first extensively, and have provided themselves with the other. In 1821 it contained 131,000 inhabitants, among the bravest and most intelligent of all Spain; and it is the grand magazine of the armies and navy of the kingdom. The words "constitution or death" is seen over its gates, and the people wear ribbons on their arms with the same motto. Morillo's letter to Quiroga.

LUGO, June 28. My dear Quiroga: You did wrong in opposing the passage of an officer, who, by my order, was the bearer of despatches to the authorities of Corogne, to whom I had given information of the events which took place in this town, on the 26th inst and in permitting those who accompanied him to misconstrue my acts, by representing my conduct as that of a traitor to his country. You know full well, as you have witnessed it, that my declaration not to acknowledge the regency, which, in conThe following was the reply of the king to the ad-tempt of the royal authority, was established on the dress of the duke San Carlos, (envoy from the French regency at Madrid), when presented-"I am highly gratified, sir, with the sentiments which you express on the part of the Spanish regency. I feel deeply interested in the success of the operations which the love of a tender offspring inspires, and who conducts the affairs of a parent, whose participation therein is interdicted by indisposition. God, to this moment, has too evidently protected the most just of causes, for us not to hope that he will continue to support it.

For my part, confident in the purity of my intentions, and those of my sovereign allies, I am firmly determined never to sheath the sword until I have given peace to Spain, liberty to her king, to Europe that repose which the commotions of your country threaten to deprive her of.

With regard to you, ambassador, I recognize the sentiment of your king, my nephew, in the choice which the regency has made of you to re present itself at my court, and I shall behold you, with satisfaction, exercising here your important functions."

SPANISH.

A London paragraph says-sir John Downie and 18 other individuals have been arrested for attempt. ing a conspiracy against the constitutional govern. ment; the discovery of this plot is owing entirely to don Bracilio Lopez, acting minister at war, and don Francisco Mancha, captain of the Seville militia.

The regency of Madrid have disignated the in. fant Don Francisco de Paul to occupy the throne of Mexico, in conformity to the treaty of Iguala!

In a Cadiz paper, don Manuel Bertrand de Lis makes known that his not having been at Seville when the cortes voted the constitutional regency,

11th of this month at Seville, proceeds from the same principles which compelled me to accept the command of this army. Determined to make every species of sacrifice, in order to repulse the invaders, and to defend the political constitution of the mon. archy, I could not acknowledge an act which has outraged the whole army.

You have likewise witnessed the opinion which has generally been expressed by those whom I have re-united for the purpose of proceeding more cautiously in this most delicate affair, As for you, giving way to the principles which have guided them, but always doubting the authenticity of the juornal which has been the organ by which they have been made acquainted with the fact, and of the private information which substantiated it, you have only conditionally acknowledged the regency. Resolved upon placing your person in security, you asked me for funds for this purpose, which I willingly granted you with pleasure, although not without great embarrassment, as money is very scarce with me; my present resources only amounting to 70,000 reals. This circumstance not permitting me to advance you more than 4,000, I promised you at a later hour a larger sum from my own personal property.

What is it you demand? Will you be guilty of the baseness not to keep the promise you voluntarily made at the moment of my departure, and without my requiring it of you? Can you be capable of blemishing your honor, and will you wound mine by listening to the lying assertions of those who insiduously spread doubts as to my integrity? have quite a different idea of delicacy; on it I am determined to hold fast, being persuaded that you will take that part which solely remains open for
