. ~ :s0 MUTINY AT MADRID, The Madrid papers of the 211, 3tl, and 4th inst. con tain the following intetesting narrative : Th... King hail Oise(' the setsion of the Cortes on Sun day the 30th tilt.; in consequence of UMW impritdeni coitilnet or insolent exprentons of a party of the guards the evening previous. the public ttt tt d was considerably agitated utt the morning - of the prorogation; on the Ktng's leaving his palace to go to the hall of the legisla tive assembly, the shouts of " Liberty and the constitn.' lion" on the part of the multitude, were met by the sedi tion' watchwords of arbitrary power on the part of (come soldiers; this citillict of political acclamations led to blows between some of the guards and the citiuns ; and lit endeavouring to cheek the violence of his men, the hie Ili a lamented and meritorious officer (Lantiainiru) was sacrificed to the fury of military insubordination iu the palace, and nearly untler the eye of the Kling. An order w 35 i tttttt ediately issued to bring the assassins to jostler, and the citizens 'were assured that the daring atrocity should not go unpuuished; but the public anxiety and terment did not immediately subside. The militia were called out, the garrison remained under arms, and every precaution was employed by the civil authorities to pre.eitt disorders, and to mature confidence. Nothing bother occurred during the night of Sunday, or the whole of Monday. the Ist inst., though it svas evident the piddle aporeitension still continued, and Mat neither the minds of the citizens, the soldiers, the numicipal au thorities, nor the Court , had ret(Acrill their settled calm. Rumours were illthISITR)ll5ly spread by the servile ene mies of liberty and order, that the King considered his life in danger, and that he had in conserve rice deter mined to seek refuge in the Prado, or to Lice from the capital. The liberal papers on the other hand, threw suspicions on the views of the Court, and indulged in severe invectives on the temper and spirit of the house hold troops. Towards the evening of the 2,1 these ex ciaments hit so wrought on the minds of the guards, that four I ft :lions, amounting to ; between 15011 aim 9000 men, i..vinced symptoms of insubordination; and and alter displayitig much disorder and tumult, raised the standard of revolt. As if by previous concert, they de serted the posts where they were stationed on guard, and two battalions front the quarter of St Isabel met two battalions from other quarters, and having taken up a basilic position ou the parade around of the guards, pro ceeded to the Prado, where o.ey had held out for inure than 24 bouts whet the last accounts came away. even have made regular demands of rations, tout have appointed delegates or commissioners to treat about a surrender. That surrender cannot in any circumstances be much longer delayed, or civil war cannot be prevented. The mutineers, instead of bring encouraged by the ap probation of their fellow citizens, or andioriz.d to hope for their support, seem as isolated 17 . t0n them as if they were a foreign enemy. These things cannot fail to strike the least attentive reader, in the accounts which we have 'received of these distressing though not very alarming traitsactions. First. the union and excellent spirit of the cis it authorities, and the orderly disposition of the gene ral body of the inhabitants; second, the courageous pa triotism and unfaltering loyalty of tile militia; and thud, she desertion of the infatuated soldiery by nearly all their oilieers, who cannot be, like them, induced to believe Drat they can serve their King by overthrowing the coo sititutiou which ensures his rights while it limits his powers. At the same time it is proper to state that notch suspicion is entertained of the seintitients of the King from the conduct of those troops, who, as they preteild to act front a regard to his interest and an attachniet , t to his person, would not certainly contravene his will or oppose his principles, if honestly . and decidedly pro nounced. A passage front the Untrerstd, a paper dedi cated to the support of ministers, speaks of money em pl( ed to seduce the troops to the :imam of despotism , and whence could this motley conic but through the Court or its partisans? — We proceed to give a copious abstract of the news in the three days papers which we have received: — MADRID, JULY 2.—The Secretary of War WWIe yesterday to the commandant of this district as follows: —" The King having learnt the horrible and scandalous outrage committed on the person of the officer of his royal guards of infantry, 1). Nl,mrerto Landaburte, appa gently by a few soldiers of the sarue guard,and executed within his royal palace, renouncing all the respect and consideration , due to his royal ;tenon, to public justice, and to the discipline which has always distinguished these corps, has resolved, that without, the least delay your Excellency draw up all todiciment against the an tours of the scandal, mil proceed against them accord ing to the usual ruler." The Political Chief of Madrid has addressed the fol. low iitz Proclamation to the inhabitants : " Fellow Citizens, —The prudent conduct which this heroic. capital hos observed the distigreenbte occur ' tliCeb yiSlertlay, is worthy of the gieiiiest praise, and imposes upon toe the ditty ul declaring 40. 'lime is na liberty without restrict 10 IDC that. respect, confi dence in the author ities, anti the care *kick every man ought to take to avoid, as tar as in him lies, whatever niay esa.perate tile public mind, or introduce division, will t rust rate all Chic attempts of the enemies of order and ul just liberty. " Distrust the alarniing which are spread at times by the malevolent, under the mask of zeal; experience Must have taught you by dais Hine that they ale commonly false and t xaggerated. The fundamental law of this state points out the way of punishing and repressing every kind of excess; and the distressing event of yesterday will be iniestipted with the greatest activity, cud the Jelin. quenti punished whit exempla , y justice. " Nladrid, July I.' MADRID, JULY 3.--The occurrences of the I isf two tlays Ilave proved wit it we haie ()lieu said, that when Ildscrly is thought w date4.er, and the Constitution is public s i drit gives new force, and greater proorgiea ul pattiotisin awl ellIIIUSlablll are displayed.— On we Ist mere occurred notioug worthy of considcra• non, btu l(oWartis Ilitre was observed its the of smite batialious ul tie guard, symptoms tit tL uition and insubordination. Tile body of Mliccrs w ho TIIE NATIONAL REGISTER had assembled in their respective . quaners could not re. strain their troops. The constantamal junta had assem bled likewise, and waited for the reattlittion of his Ma jesty for an energetic representation to repress the tumult. Vince battalions of infantry and a squadron of cavalry of the National Militia were underarms, resolved to de fend liberty if it should be attacked. It was about I I o'clock when the guard of the militia announced that two battalions of the guards, who were iu the quarter of Isabel, were its movement. The militia remained within their Tr determined to be passive, if no act of hostility took place ou the other side. These two batta lions proceeded to join the other two, and having obtained an accession of vatious parties of he same corps, who hamlotied their posts in the garrison, forced the gate of San Fernando, and proceeded to the parade of the guards. Ills Excellency, General 1)on P. Morino, mum:Aid:int of the district, who displayed on that occasion a heroism worthy of Greek and Roman fame, sallied forth to meet the deluded met), and to dis suade them from their rash enterprise. " The King (they replied) has fled to the Prado, and we wish to defend him." "That you may be convinced of the contrary," said the General," and learn how much yon are seduced and deceived, let four soldiers front each company come along with me, and they will see how Iris Majesty remains secure in his royal palace, and how highly he disapproves of the conduct of the revolters." — The troops agreed, and the General conducted the dole. gates even to the King's chamber, where his Majesl told them, that he confided in the attachment which they manifested to his royal person, but that it was India ' pensable they should return to ordination, that they should obey the authorities, and re-establish order, con cluding that he wished they should return to their com panions with these exhortations front him. Gen. Mo rino mounted his horse, and returned to the battalions in the pirade, where, upon being seen, he was saluted with crizs of " Loug Inc our General 1 Long live Mu rillo." But as he heard also among the exclamations voices calling out, " Long live the absolute Kiug," he replied with remarkable firnmcss, " No, not so—the whole army and all the nation have sworn, for the good of his Majesty himself, and the welfare of his people, to observe the constitution, and I shall surport it at all hazards, and in the face of every danger.' " Let your Excellency place yourself at our heat," they replied, " and you will give us one day of glory, by destro y ing that infamous race, (the Decurnis 2 d os ) who have endes voured to destroy your reputation. Read .oe of this morning, and you will see the crimes of the whole liberal faction, with their wicked intentions."— " In vain (replied ,Morilla with great calmness) in vain would you require me to stain my career by such an outrage on the constitution which we have sworn to maintain. 1 can easily despise four pedants, who en age in writing more front hung er than from p atriotism. \V hat would be said, it 1, who have grown old in bat. tles, and have procured for my country some days of glory, should place myself at the head of mutinous troops, to attack a people who confide in our loyalty amid honour. Finally then, listen to the order of your Chief, otherwise I must abandon you." It appeared then that some of them were proceednia e' to detain him; but his Excellency, despising the risk which was indicated by certain seditious cries, turned the reins of his horse, amid proceeded at a regular pace to the house where the King was. Ills Majesty had there conferred upon him, ad interim, the command of the two regiments of Roy al Goards. The Junta had taken new measures, and collected 800 muskets, which had been abandoned in the quarters of the guards, whence they had been stolen by the lowest of the people. In the mean time all the garrison was under arms, and animated with the best spirit. On pausing in front of the hall of the junta, the squadron of cavalry del Principe cried out—" Long live the liberties of our country, and perish the perjured mu tineers." This cry spread like an electric spark among the troops—the disbanded officers, the ex-guards of St. Jeronimo, and the officers on half pay, presented them selves, and received the muskets from the junta. Many of the country people also armed themselves. The mu tinous battalions remained some hours on the parade, and then rented to the hill of the Prado—their force was about 1,500 men, among whom there are very few officers. The troops tit the garrison have confined them selves to observing the motions of the mutineers; the Captain General is talking the best dispositions to pre vent the revolt from spreading; and the Government, before resorting to force for reducing it, employs all the means in tts power to obtain its object without blood- CRUELTY AND INJUSTICE IN IRELAND. Sir Robert Wilson, in his Speech against the re newal of the Insurrection Bill for Ireland, men tioned the fbilowing occurrence—we do not give it because it is the worst we have known, for we know that thousands of cases, each of ten times greater atrocity, could be verified, but because the one in question was recently alluded to by so good an authority, who was an eye-witness. The frets alluded to by Sir It. Wilson, were as follows: " Mr. WI iglit, a teacher of French, hearing that Mr. Fitz gerald, High Sheriff of Tipperary, had received sone charges of a seditious nature against him, waited un Mr. Fitzgerald, who, without investigation, sentenced him to be dogged, and then allot. The unhappy man suren dered his keys to have his papers germ:tied, prute r : ling his innocence. Next day the unhappy man was dragged to a ladder in 00'11nel-street, to undergo his sentence. lie knelt down in prayer, with his hat before his fAce. Mr. Fitzgerald came tip, dragged his hat froin him ad t r ampled on it ; seized the man by the hair, dragged h and trampled Ott It ; .tize'l thc man by the hair, dragged hiisii to the earth, cut him across the forehead with his sword, arid then had ads stripped naked, tied up to the ladder, and ordered hint filly sashes. Major Ittal, an officer in the town, came up as the fifty lashes were completed, and asked Mr. Fitzgerald the cause? Mr. F. handed the Major a note, written in French, saying lie did not Mauch understand French, though he understood Irish, but he (Major nil) would find in that letter what would justify hilts in flogging the scoundrel to death. Major Rid read the letter.—He found it to be a note addiesserl to the victim, translated in these words :—' Sir, I am ex tremely sorry I cannot wait on you at the I appointed, bring miavoidahly obliged to attend Sir Laurence Par /1011A. Yout'a, Baron De Clubs. Notwithstanding ibis translation, which Major Rial read to Mr. Fitzgerald, lie ordered tiny lashes more to be inflicted, and with such peculiar severity, that the bowels of the victim could he perceived to be convulsed and working through his wounds. Mr. Fitzgerald, finding he could not contiene the application of his cat-o- ' tails on that part without cutting his way into his body, ordered the waistband of his breeches to be cut open, and 50 more lashes to be in flicted there. Ile then lett the unfortunate man bleeding and suspended while lie went to the barracks to demand a file of men to come 111111 shoot I • : but being reinsert by the C aniline Officer, he came back and sunzlit for a rope to bang him, but could not get one. He thr n ordered him to be cut down and sent back to prison where lie was confined in a dark small room, with no other Our !inure than a wretched pallet of straw without covering, and there 1w remained six or seven days without medical assistance. Sir Robert's object in referring to these transactions, of all of which lie was an eye witness, was to skew that the system of violence had been protected by the Government of the day and that the rewards con ferred on the actors of those scenes had given encourage ment to the lawless treatment of the Irish people; whilst the Government of the present day, instead of eradicating the evils by suitable remedies, pursue the system recom mended by the High Sheriff."

Milthorp, Poole, York, His Royal Highness the Duke of York, we un derstand, has made•over his estate at Oatlands, with the growing crops, &c. to trustees, for the p a y ment of his debts. The Trustees are the Earl of Lauder dale and Col. Stephenson. By terms of the arrange ment, all debts not exceeding 501. are to be paid immediately in full. We can find no feelings but those of contempt and abh orrence for a man, who, with an income of more than 50,0001. a year, can allow executions to be constantly out against him at the suit of tradesmen, who are absolutely ruined by his delay of payment. The will of the late Countess Fitzwilliam was proved in the Prerogative Court, Doctors' Commons, on the 26th ult., by Earl Fitzwilliam, who, as hus band, became administrator, with the will annexed, there being no executor appointed ; nor is it stated by what deed or power her Ladyship was enabled to exe cute such an instrument. It contains very few legacies, the chief of which is '2,0001. to Lady Ca roline Dunda% The personal estate is sworn by his Lordship to be under 20,0001.; but there is no dis position of residue. The will is dated Wentworth, 110th July, 1817. The Duke of Buckingham, who recently spoke of standing and falling with his tenants, has since ads dressed circular letters to them, requiring all arrears by the lit of July, or compulsory measures would be taken against them. 1
