The greatest impediment arises fro, the poverty of peens in many of our villages, who watt means to pay the instructors of their ails' siren: but as mote pmeperoas circumstances may rea son bly be anticipated in proportion to our internal sere ray, this inconvenience will disappear in time. A very serious obstruction also occurs to the advance • ment of ouraehools, in the want of masters and school books-, -This - arises - from 4bn-ignorance- sin -which the pfuplejhavetinea sone ander the colonial system. By the 15th article of the said law of the 2d of Au gust; thi Executive was empowered to establish in the • principal cities of Colombia, experimental schools of mune instruction. The Government has the satisfac tion tts announce to Congress, that this excellent me thod, so conducive to advancement in the rudiments of education; has been established in the capital of the Republic, and has thence extended to the provinces. Since the month of January, 1822, the Executive es tablished a well organised system for the • purkose cf extending the benefit of these schools to the capitals of the provinces, the cantons, and parishes. The people have received this new institution with pleasure, and the Government thinks it will extend itself at no distant date even to the obscurest hamlets. Thus the people begin to experience the enormous difference there is between •an internal Government and that of a n a tion 2,000 leagues distant from us. The Spanish Government did . .not endow one school in the course of 300 years, and that of the Republic employs itself in advancing public - instruction, and in disseminating general intelligence, even in the midst of war, and the roar of its cannon. LIBERTY OF TUE PRESS AND ITS JuDGEs.—The law establishing the liberty of the press has been strictly complied with. In those provinces and cities in which printing establishments are to be found, all subjects are published freely, the measures of Government are ani madverted on, and the great political interests of the nation discussed. Some excesses have resulted from the liberty of the , press, and such are inevitable ; but their authors have been brought to trial, and restrained within the limits prescribed by law. The same law has introduced among us trial by jury. The 48th article has proved defective in practice, since it is extremely difficult to obtain even a just condemnation, when two concurring votes can absolve any writing, and six are necessary to condemn it. As yet, all authors who have been tried have been acquitted, with the exception of one; and it is probable the same will happen in future. The Report then goes on to state, that some altera tion in the law on the liberty of the press is necessary. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1823. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHaNCK TW KT, V E'O'CLOCK.

' The king of SPAIN, the Journal des Debats informs us, " was at Aranjuez on the 12th instant," and in that place, and on that very day, " was to issue the important Decrees which Spain expected from him." To this it isl added, by the Etoile, " that the Ministry was to be de finitively constituted, and that Don VICTOR SAEZ would cease to Ge Minister, in consequence of his being the KING'S Confessor: . The Qatotidienne goes larder, and affirms that FEE.' DINAND had actually ' 4 issued the several anxiously ex pected Decrees, whicrli would be published the day of hi'. public entry into Madrid, which was expected to take. place on the 19th. Now what can these important," these ' , anxiously ' expected Decrees" concern ? What new turnvf affairs is to be expected from the Monk SASE ceasing to be Mi 'nister. Sazz,we know, was the grand adviser of those vio lent and unjust decrees, issued by the King of SPAIN at Port St. Mary, revoking the general amnesty which his MAJESTY had proclaimed before his departure from Cadiz, and disclaiming all the acts of the Constitutional Government. Has his MAJESTY, then, been at length convinced of the stecessity of recalling these decrees, and dismissing the pestilent adviser of them? We think this by no means unlikely, and that the next ar rivals will, in all probability, bring us authentic intelli gence of such a - modification of FERDINAND'S obnoxious decrees, as will testae his credit on 'Change at least. The recognition by FERDINAND of the loans to the Constitutional Governsnent, will, after all however, be but a concession to his pecuniary necessities, and as it does not apparently originate in a sense of justice, may not be very highly estimated by the capitalists of this or any other country. This mort - king we received Lisbon Papers to the 9th inst. The Lisbon Gazette contains a necessary correction of one of its mistatements, relative to the entertain ment given by the British Admiral, Sir HARRY NEALE, to the King of PonTWAL. The foreign Journals, like some of our contemporaries at home, ate perpetually insinuating that our Government rejoices at the turn affairs havetaken in Spain and Portugal. At one time we are told that Sr Wriuram A'Couar congratulated the King of SPAIN on his liberation, whereas he only, repaired to the Spanish Court to resew his diplonsacia . functions, which had been suspended. liflike manner,, the a' a British Admiral in prcertdlng ast.ebtsa• tainment for the King of Poarunaiywhisi 44 4:0- a wish to visit the vessel, Is tortured into a feast to tele x trite thetestaration of hii bfAineihr to the plenitude of his rights, The .

The following LISBON, NOVEMBER The Gazette gives an account of an entertainment given by Vice-Admiral Sir Harry Neale, on board the Revenge, to the King of Portugal, which it states was, intended to celebrate the restoration of his Majesty the plenitude of his rights, as inherited by his miser tors ; but is a succeeding number it states, that the pro► ceding article was incorrect, the entertainment having no political object, but being given only in conseciate Of his Majesty having expressed a wish to see the ship, where the Vice-Admiral of course received him with the honours alwaykpaid to such illustrious visitors. Majesty was accompanied by the Infants and Infant and was received on board by the diplomatic body, awl a splendid company of Ladiet. and Gentlemen: there was a ball, followed by a magnificent collation at three o'clock, of which above 200 persons partook. The health of the King and the Royal Family, of the Kings of Great Britain and Spain, and of the Allied Sove reigns, were drank with enthusiasm, the ships of war in the harbour (except the Revenge) firing Royal salutes. The dancing was then resumed, a profusion of refresh ments were presented, and his Majesty %skit his com pany left the ship at six o'clock. The vessels in the harbour were handsomely adorned with the flags of all nations, and the Revenge was-finely illuminated. LISBON, NOVEMBER 7. The Gazette states officially, that the immense damage done by the inundations in the month of Febluary, in the north part of the Kingdom, have been repaired; and the works, to secure tho-ctuntry against , similar calami ties, are restored in a manner far superior to what they formerly were ; so that the inhabitants are far better se cured than ever; and they ore astonisheil• • at seeingl works finished in six Months far exceeding what, on former occasions, have cost years. The expense amounts to 19,240 mibees. The inhabitants of Triaidade, in the district of Mon coroO, having represented to his Majesty the distress to, which they are reduced by the conduct of the deluded troops called Constitutional, who had cruelly reduced to ashes their poor dwellings and all their furniture on the 12th of April (this year), because they shewed them selves faithful to their King and lawful Sovereign ; his Majesty, as the father of all his subjects, ordered as in vestigation to be made, and it being estimated that the sum of 2497 milrees was necessary tarebuild their dwel lings, ordered the Corregidor of Moncoroo to issue that sum from the Royal coffers of hisdistrict for the purpose, THE KING'S CO WIT. • Yesterday, at half:past twelve o'clock, his MASIST7 arrived in his travelling carriage, at his Palace in Pall• from bis Palace at Windsor, and soon afterwards, 'the Kura held a Court, Alkh was atieuded The Lord Chancellor, the Tint Lord of the Trea-vtri the Se cretaries of Slice for the Home and Colonial Departments, the First Lard of the Admiralty, the'Master-General of the Ordnance; l the President of the Board of Trade, the President of the Board of Cuntroul, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Clams eellor of the &chequer, Viscount Sidmoutb, the Lord Chief Jos.

The Royal Charlotte, Captain Godfrey, sailed from Southampton, at eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning the 29th ult. for Jersey, with a valuable cargo of bale pods. She bad seventeen passengers on board, includ ing four women, and the' crew amounted to seven or eight men and Wis. On Thursday evening the Charlotte had scarcely got through the Race of Alderney, when the wind freshen ing from the same point, she was obliged to put about, and repass it, when the Captain determined to lie . to for the night. About four o'clock on Friday morning, when all on board, except the watch, were buried - in profound repose, a tremendous hurt icane came on from the N.E. with such violence and rapidity, that the Char lotte was nearly laid upon her beam ends, her bowsprit and sprit-sail yard were carried away, and many of her sails torn to pieces. A scene of indescribable terror and confrision imme diately ensued. 'The waves, already agitated by the violence of the tempest, rose mountains high, and broke upon the vessel, threatening at every rude assault to overwhelm her; the bulwarks were dashed to pieces, the compass knocked out of the binnacle, the lights extinguisr.ed, the sky-light of the cabin broken to atoms, and the cabin halt filled with water. With the utmost difficulty some of the sails were taken in: the sailors worked with alacrity and vigour, and the Captlin never once quitted the helm ; but every effort was in vain, the vessel *as driving at the mercy of the tempest upon a lee shore, and all hopes of saving her were at once abandoned. In this dreadful situation, when every moment was expected to be the last, day at length dawned, and the despairing sufferers beheld themselves driving furiously on a reef of. rocks which extend some distance from Cape la Hogue on the coast of Normandy. In this fearful situation, it was deter mined to run her on shore, the only chance they had of saving their lives. In a few minutes the Royal Charlotte grounded on ledge of rocks, about 200 yards from the shore: half of the keel was knocked off by the impetuosity of the first shock, and she continued beating so violently thit it was expected she would go to pieces every moment. Happily, hots ever, the tide *as ebbing, and the shore' was lined with crowds of people, anxious toairord every assistance in their power. The storm continning with unabated violence, and the waves running mountain high, it was impossible for a boat to approach the vessel. The end of a hawser, 'however,. was thrown from the vessel, which being car ried by the waves towards the shore, was eagerly caught by several men, who, with the greatest intre pidity, ventured out a considerable distance for that purpose. - It was then fastened on shore, and a cradle was suspended to it by the crew of the Charlotte, from which a rope was idso.thiOWn to the people on 14nd: One person at a time then entered the cradle, which was drawn towards the shore, and when emptied of its burden, was drawn back again for a fresh freight. In this ingenious manner the passengers and crew were individually taken out of the Charlotte and conveyed safely to shore, without being eves wet by the waves which raged beneath theni. Nothing could "exceed the kindness and attention of the French towards the. un happy.suffer ers. While their lives were yet in jeopardy, the activity, courage, and address of tl.e former, at tempting to save from destruhion their helpless fellow beings, exceed all praise; and when they at length suc ceeded in rescuing-them from a watery grave, they la visbed-upoo them many acts of kindneis . and attention. lb'EW REVIL W.
