New Fours, 102 Cnus. for At. 104 Lou: Anglo Lowery To•kel► ,K2V LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 14. The attention of Europe is intensely fixed on the proceedings of Congress, and the friends of liberty are unanimous in unfavourable anticipations —the affairs of Spain are, it is said, to claim the distinguished attention of the great Despots, and it is believed that they will restive to three upon the Spanish people an absolute Government in lieu of their Constitutional form—if such be their determi nation, they will doubtless attempt to enforce those resolutions by their armies—if they Jo, we hope the !poniards will uphold the credit of their ancestors, and teach those meddling, brutal tyrants what it is to interfere with a people in whose breast tha pure flame of liberty is glowing—we wish that each army may be commanded by its Swereign in person, and that every man may find a grave in the country to which they would dare to di.nate—it may be said that " the soldiers are not to blame"—that " they rust do as they are ordered"—to which we would reply, that they heel better turn their bayonets against the breasts of their employers than suffer themselves to be the instruments of tyranny and vil lany. If the temerity of these crowned Ruffians should overcome their cowardice, and they should pretend to dictate to England how much or how little of power her King should be allowed, they would find too late that spirit which would over whelm them, and their armies would either be im molated en masse, or return in fragments defeated and disgraced. The Spanish nation will have an opportunity of immortalizing itself, and we ardently hope it will make the most of it. Sroc EICRANCE, SATURDAY, TIMER OTLOCIC.—Very little business doing here this morning. The think has advanced In: Dissenters money to Government, and have judged it best to apply • portion of the Sinking Fund to pay them oil in eight instalments, lifter which the Sinking Fund will resume its operations in full—and we are assured the purchases will be equal to foar millions. Consols are and for the No vember account b2l.—About eleven o'cloc► the new Peruvian hoini appeared in the Foreign market. For a length of time we bare not witnessed so much confusion—numerous were the bidders—followed up at least by a crowd of two hundred per sons, dancing about front one part of the 'Change to the other, bellowing out as if a ruirmagerie of Bulls aid Bears were let loose on the prblic. The premium it bear* up to to this hour is eight per cent., and eagerly sought after. A great deal has been done in the new Spanish Bands, which have lowered this morning. _ . _ General Barton was executed at Poictiers, nn the ith instant—the firmness and calmness which he displayed during his imprisonment continued to the last moment of his existence, and his death excited the general sympathy of the spectators. Dr. Caffe committed suicide some hours befitre the time ap pointed fur his execution, by wounding himself with a deep instrument in the groin, and cutting through the erural artery, in the presence of two gend.ames, by whom he was guarded. Sange and J.iglio have been sent to Thonars strongly guarded, where they are to suffer death. Ilia Majesty the Emperor of Russia has given orders to publish ut Warsaw the Papal Bull of the 24th of June this year against the Carbonari. The order is addressed to the Committee of Public In struction, which hag aecor,:itigly published the Bull in the newspapers of Warsaw. TAXATION BY .STEAM. -/t steam-engine is about to 1)r erected at the Stamp-office, for the purpose of working oil stamps with greater ease and rapidity., A letter front Pisa says, tut Lord By roa gone to Genoa, fur the purpose of embdrking tor the Unita States of America. r - THE NATIONAL REGISTER The East Indiamen. w►ll in future occasionally touch at Plymouth. Some gentlemen in the service of the East India Company have been inspecting the store-houses at Turn-chapel, Catwat'r, prepa ratory to tbe establishment of a depot there for stores, is for the use of the Company's ships which may be put into the harbour. kIEDUCTION OF INTLREST.—TWO banks in Pres ton has given notice, that the highest rate of inte rest they will in future allow, will be 4 per cent., and that they shall discount bills of exchange after the same rate. Despatches have been receired from the Duke of Wellington, who arrived at Vienna on the 30th ult. His health was rather improved by the journey, though he had been bled since his arrival. Letters dated the 15th of August, were received from Port-au-Prince. The deputies to the Legisla tive Assembly for the Spanish part of the island, lately added to the dominions of President Buyer, had all been elected. It is stated as a curious fact, that these deputies, though so recently the subjects of a Government sufficiently despotic, entertained principles so liberal, or rather so democratical, that they meditated the introduction ofsome law for mo difying the power of the President. Gea. Romaine who had been detained as State prisoner at Leogane on parole, it is said has been shot by secret orders from the Government. It was supposed he had been detected in earning on secret cortespondem.e with the north, with a view to revolutionize that quarter. 'I he Second Report of the Selett Committee of the !louse of Commons upon our Foreign Trade has been printed. The Committee have selected, as the first objects of their investigation, the Light Dues, Trinity Dues, Ballastage, Surplus Pilotage, and the Ittmsgate and Dover Harbour Dues, which appear to be burdens pressing heavily upon the navigation and commer:e of the country. Nlr. Lushington and suite embarked at ohan on the 2I St tilt. on board his Majesty's revenue cruiser .Sregl, Captain 11. Dundas Watson, fur the purpose of making a survey on the Custom-houses in the north of Scotland. We underatand that a contract fitr a loan to the new Goverrment of Peru has just been concluded by a London mercantile house with the deputies recently atrivcd fiom Lima. It was offered io the first instance ►o the contractors of the Columbian loan, and the negotiation was nearly terminated when, from some eatse yet unknown, the ratifica tion was withheld, and a new treaty entered into by the house which has taken the contract. The amount of the loan, and the terms on which it has been taken, have nut hitherto transpired it is Un derstood, however, that they are 16;411, considering that the presence of a very pttwerful Spanish army in Peru siill forms u serious obstacle to the-cstab lishment of its independence, and consequently to the existence of the present Government. Under the first treaty, the price was to have been 75 for a stock bearing 5 per rent. interest, but it is supposed thJ te:ms of the present contract much exceed that price. No portion of the luau has yet been brought into circt.lation. NW/Jowl, OCT. 8 —lt has blown a very heavy gale since Sunday lust. Early on Monday morning a brig was discovered by the people at St. Aan's lighthouse, at the entrance of this harbour, in dis tress, drifting to leeward, unmanageable ; and be tween 11 and 12 o'clock she came on shore with a tremendous crash, midway between the lighthouse and West Dale. Six poor fellows, being the mas ter and crew, were seen sin deck, and heard crying bitterly tier help, but none could be aflimled them, and by the first great wave they were immersed in the deep, and in instant sunk to rise no more.— About 30 casks of butter have been picked up; the letters have Britain—painted thereon ; the the casks of butter picked up are branded-11.. Lucas, Cork. It is conjectured here, that she tvas called the Britannia, of Bristol, an old vessel employed fur many yeats between that port aad IVaterford. CoLLEf6 or SURGEONS.—From and atier Ist of January, 18:23, not any canditlate fitr the diploma, who have not regularly attended three or more courses of Anatomical L..etures in London, Dublin, Edinburgh, or Glasgow, will be admitted to exa mination. Letters from Bahia, dated August 3, represent that place as in a must unsettled state—every shop closed, all busineas suspended, end the place turned into a complete camp. The militia hail been placed tiard duty, and every Waillien disarmed and pro hibited Irma leaving the walls. The Prince Regent had declared open war against all the European troops is the provinces, and every Mea were adopt ing to repel the expected attack from his threes. The tr.,nsact' in the Fotei,4n Stock market have been Litely immense, Imo the fluctinv ions al. most unexampled, owing, chitfly, to the new im pulse given to speculation ly the members of the Stock Exchange, who now act in common with the threign brokers, and, from their superiuz boldeabs and enterprise, on a much larger scale. --• _ 325 Ministers, have determined to make the Blue Ribbon, vacant by the death of the late Lord Lon.. douderry, a peace-offering to the Marquis of Hert ford. The present Marquis, it will be recollected, was not permitted to succeed, his late father in the Lord Lieutenancy of Warwickshire, which was im mediately on his death transferred to the Earl of Warwick. A letter from Rouen states, that the damage donut • to the cathedral by fire is not so extensite as was at first imagined. The greater part of the church has not suffered at all ; and though the pyramid is de. destroyed, w:iielt it will require a long time sir rebuild, there is no other injury which way nut be speedily repaired. Extract ofa letter from Calais, dated October B. " CALAIS, TUESDAY, OCT. B.—t have scarcely time to is form you that Mr. Bowring (a merchant of Isondon),.citure from Paris on Saturday, and was abet to step into the Dover packet about noon on &today, when the commireary of police conducted him and his portinauteau to the Dote! de Ville.

The object of the Lords of the Admiralty, in sending-the Cao crater to sea at this season oldie year, is to stem brio, in smite weather, what advantages are to be derived from the peculiar manner of building shi l ls on this principle. It is conjectured that the destination -of the SC rhizapulans. alfariisr, and Grecian.- is •colinected - with die present saute of affairs w South America, where, from rife etm tending state of parties, the British interests may require prow. tion ; and also with the pitaciescomnritieti now our commerce in the American and West Indian seas, particularly at Cuba. where, it has been charged upon the Administration, our com merce has been abandoned to the ruinous depredations of pirates, or the huinnia ing protection of the French and American navies. The delicacy towards Spain, in whose ports throe marauders Imr boor, which has been stated in extenuation, cannot be any longer listened to; but these glaring ()Mmes. the existence of winch brings an opprob,iurn on the administration and the country, must he put down.
