It os'Mertpt LONDON, MONDAY, MATCH 8. Three o'clock, p.m. ! The Paris Journals of Saturday last were received this mottling by express. The fhllowing letter from Madrid, which appears in tin: Journal de Paris of that day, contains some curious particulars of the events of the 20th and .and 21st ult.:— " Matraw, Fate. 21.—0 n the 18th, the Minis. -ten began to make preparations for removing, in pursuance of the authority of the Cortes. This pre •notture measure greatly displeased the inhabitants of Madrid. On the 19th, in the morning, the Minis ters waited on the King, and informed him that it was necessary his Majeety•should make preparations fia his departure. The King replied that lie would not leave the capital, except in the oust: of the clumsy , approaching it. The Ministers replied, that his • Majesty would be compelled to go to the place on • which the Cortes should iliitermine. The King, be ing irritated, drove them from his presence, and immediately signed the decree for their dismissal. All the lodges were instantly in .motion ; there was slastilysorganizeika kind of imago of a revolution, in which about 4200 persons, at most, took part. The • :Authorities, who are sold to•the present Ministry, remained passive. The riotous populace surrounded the Palace, and set up dreadful cries against the .• King. • 'However, the company of national militia, all Communeros, which was on guard, dispersed the mob, and saved the King's life. One of the dismissed 111 Misters, who had remained in the Palace, repaired to the King's chamber, and, giving to•the facts that colour which suited him, extorted from his Majesty decree by which he replaced the Ministers ad ink. tint. All this passed at ten in the evening, without the great majority of the inhabitants of Madrid hav ing the leatt knowledge of the transaction . " Next day every thing was tranquil. Never. dicks', the words ad interim distressed the ministe . trial party very much. It ,was necessary to show off something new, but it was wished to give to this affair a more solemn character. Two worm-eaten tables were laid out in the Plaza Mayor, and three -or four venerables of the lodges invited all' who passed by to sign a representation; in which theCotss tes were called upon to appoint a Regency; This intrigue was soon defeated by the but-ends of the militia, muskets. We now enjoy the most profound, tranquillity—the Ministers see that their triumph can only. be . ephemeral. The council of State and the permanent Deputation arc c/Mstantly assembled. The respectable citizens who were alarmed at the . late crisis now blush at having yielded to a few mi. serable wretches, and are shaking oil theirelethargy. Finally, it is believed that the commencement of next mouth will be the epoch dm* active and efft . cacious co-operation between the Legislative linty and a new Ministry, which the friends of the coun try call Mr, and which the preservation of liberty requires. Meanwhile public spirit is displayed with new vigour in the provinces. All the provincial deputa .tions show a rivalship of zeal in arming the Latta , lions of active Militia. These corps, which have always tiirtned the bulwark of our independence, will soon be ready to act en a great scale, and to occupy the posts which circumstances may render it necessary to pssign to them." Note by the editor of the Jusomal de Paris: "We owe it to our impartiality to state, that these events, which will be presented under more than one point of view, are here related by a person oaosed to the present Spanish Ministry." The Journal du commerce mentions an " oda motion" reported to have been submitted by France to the Spanish Government, according to which there is only demanded, to secure at once the trait.' quillity of the Peninsula and the perfection of the . constitutional system, that certain qualification of property shall he required of the electors, and that the misting Council of State shall assume a form and functions, which, under whatever title, may.give it a more positive and authentic legislative rank, and constitute it an upper Chamber. Oporto is now open to the admission of foreign grain. About one thousand six hundred tons had arrived, but such is the extent of the wants of the country, that it produced little or no impression on the markets. It is expected that Lisbon. will also be opened. Barcelona, we have reason to believe, is likewise open. There•is no doubt hut that scarcity exists in ail the provinces of Spain and Portugal, so that our warehouses will soon be relieved el . Loaded • THE NATIONAL HAMPSHIRE COUNTY MEETING. SATURDAY, :11ARC11 I.—A must, nun i terous and re spectable huily of Freeholders, 11„,aittl Owners, and Occu— piers, assembled on the, Cade' Hall, Winchester, lor the purpose of agreeing to a Petition to Parliament on the pr, seut Agrictiltural Distress. The High Sheriff havingzefused to convene a Meeting. Sir Thos. Baring, in cutottoction with seven other Magistrates; acceded to the wishes of till reguittionists, which circumstance 'gave a more titan ordmaty.-interest to the occasion. The Bei. Robert Wright proposed that Sir Thomas Barium should preside, which received the unanimous consent and applause of the meeting. Sir T. Barnig.siod, that after the flattering manner in which the proposition of his worthy friend had been re- • ceired, he felt that he had no oPtioo, and must, in con-, mortice; feel Monet( boom' to obey the commands of I the Meeting, and should swilionsly endeavour to!dis charms the arduous and Important duty entrusted to him, without fear, favour, or impartiality, of any kind, to the utmost of his humid:: ability--:-(Cries of " Bravo r ) and if he should receive the co-operation and assistance of the numerous and respecialile assembly he wat now ad dre:,sity.„ he should nut only esiev ill it us il il'gill priv ilege, but as a great personal pratilicatiiin, ilk ilaVisig been Called to till the sisitation.an Willett he was 110411 pl Celli.

Sir Thomas, in conclusion, said—'• Gentlemen, the present nigh Sheriff is , now here, and I have autho rity 11010 him to say, that, had the application been made to him, he should itave costreued the Alerting.- 1 was nut aware that he was in office at the tittle, and this is solely the cause of your seeing me here." 'Die itaplisiiimi was 'heti read. Mr. Marsh expressed the 6 ratiticallon which he felt that the exertions made by the late Sheriff tit prevent the fueling, had been counteracted. Mr. M. then_etnered into a variety of statements sliewing the ~rice of corn in 1790, comparing them with ihose obtained at present, and concluded by moving a petition, which was seconded by Mr. Neal. , The petition embraced many of the topics urged in other county petitions on the subject of agricultural dis tress. Among other causes of duress it -urged, an im mense standing army in time of peace—tilittecessary or overpaid taxes—unmerited . pensions---eOrrupt sinecure grants and set ersions—and last, though nut least, an enormous civil list.

Mr. Hunt then came forward, and said—Here I am once more, my lriends, after two years and a half in carceration in a dungeon, neither altered in spirit Or principles.—(Applause.) Mr. Hunt then said, perhaps at had come to the knowledge of a great number of them, that since that time a climate had taken place between hint and Mr. Cohhett, but he hoped he should convince them that no private fueling—nu perweal ani tinnily shout.' induce hint to betray the great public cause which had always advocated' since he could dia.' tinguish right from wrong.—(Applause.) He was pre pared 16 support the amendment proposed by Mr. C. although he differed from it in some minor points. He concluded bre:pressing a hope that his countrymen would soon recuver those rights which they had lost. Mr. Fleming (M. P. for the county) addressed the meeting at great ler.gth, sincerely lamenting the present agricultural depression, and' escrowing au anxiety to lend his exertions to elect its alleviation, which had done by reducing his reins, or giving his tenants 'an opportunity of throwing tip their Mimi before their • leases were expired.—(Applause.) in Parliament he had alwa)s adsocated every measure that had their interest fur its object. Mr. Fleming concluded bymov. Mg the resolutions adopted On the recommendation 01 Sir J. Sinclair at the general committee of the counties iii Scotland. • The Rev. It. Wright seconded the resolutioai.
