. 41* FURTHER EXTRACTS FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS OF MONDAY. (CRON! THE MONITEVW.) PARTS, OCT. 1?.-At twelve o'clock this day, there was ! ,, 0.%,:i0 the cluirch st Notre Dame a solemn 'Li lh urn, in tob.-ti of gratitu•le for the happy deliverance of his Catholic Alajestv the King of Spoin, in presence of the King, the Princes and Princesses of the Royal Family and the blood. S 4 Nis.% of artillery were fired at the departure of the King from Notre Dante, and on his arrival at the Tuileries. At right the public edifices and private house's were illumi nated. (FROM TIM ETOII.E.) Puts, OCT. 12.—An i 11111 l rose multitude had assembled by no tn, on the way leading from the Tuileries to the Me tropolitan Church, to winters the passage of his Majesty, and their Royal highnesses Monsieur, Madame, and the D.tchess de Berri. At two o'clock a discharge of artillery annoonced the departure of the august personages. The air resoundel with exclamations, repeated from a thousand voices, of " Long live the King ! Long live the Bourbons! Long live the Liberator of Spain!" On alighting' at Noire Dame, the King was received by the Duke and Duchess of Orleans, and the Grand (Ricers of the Crown. The Ministers already occupied the seats • reserved for them round the Throne which had been erected in the choir, where were also a number of the Peers and • Persica. Amongst the Peers was remarked the Duke. Mathieu de Montmorency, who has so much reason to rejoice at the happy issue of the war. The sanctity of the place did not restrain the enthusiasm of the congregation. At the sight of our Monarch and hi•: augnst Family, the vaulted roofs of the Temple re echoed the exclamations of •' Lang live the King!" which weir tittered with an energy difficult to describe, and wdi,•it fur a long time delayed the ceremony. The Te jo,nr, en :antique, was executed by the musicians of the chapel. 'I lie most delightful weather favoured the King's return to the Tuileries. On the way, a population, eager to con template his Majesty, saluted him with exclamations indica tive of their affection and gratitude. Flags were displayed from all the nindows. At the Prefectnre de Po!ice, the bust of the Hero of Spain had been erected amidst military trophies and white flags, surmounted with crowns of laurel. The countenance of the august spouse of the Duke a•An g onleme brained with rapturous joy. About WO of the labouring classes of Paris have paraded the streets to day, bearing in triumph the host of the Duke d'Angonleme, crowned with a garland of laurels, and sur moomiteml with flags fleer de lies*. On reaching the Place Vendome, they placed a crown d'ison.ori dies on the head of time statue of Louis XIV. The procession made the air resonn I with acclamations of " Long live the King! Long live the. Bourbons ! Long live the Duke d'Anguuleine !" which were unanimously repeated by all the spectators. The bust of his Royal Highness was also carried to the triumphal arch of l'Etoile, where it was placed amidst trans port m of indescribable enthusiasm. Journal des Debate cites some nasmges from the di •eourse of the Archbishop of Paris, after the performance of the grand 7'e Deem, at Notre Dame, which are pecu liaily characteristic :— .. Ferdinand VII. is free, and the King of France is his ' Liberator. One hundred thousand Frenchmen assembled by his orders, commanded by a Prince of his family, 6y him whom hie heart lures to name hie roe. They marched invoking the name of the. God of St. Louie; the throne is preserved to the Grandson of Henry IV.. a fine kingdom is preserved from ruin, and reconciled to Europe, and a peace impossible to obtain by other inerbes, is' conquered by a scar the most just, time most loyal, and at the same time, the least bloody that was ever waged. Six months, dearest brethren, six months have sufficed fur the performance of so many miracles. Thanks to the King, whom God has enlightenzd ; whose lips are like an Oracle (says the Holy Ghost) ; whose mouth errs not in the judgments which he pro rounces ; whose wisdom scatters the wicked and after having vanquished them, makes them pass under the arch of triumph.—Dicinatio in labiis regis ; in jadicio non errata os ejus. Dissipat Myles rex sapiens, et incurrat super eos fornicem.• "Thanks to the Christian Hero, whose faith has sanctified en expedition already so legitimate—whose courageous feeling and holy valour have been the admiration of his soldiers, and who, in he sight of that same Africa, heretofore the theatre of P o many exploits and so much constancy, has shown to all Europe that a descendent of St. Louis, who trusts iti the Lord, is always sure of conquering the enemies of God and of Kings, were they more fierce than the Saracens, and more ferocious than the Barbarians. " But, above atl, dear Brethren, thanks to the Rock of ages, to God himself. who has instructed the unwise, that he has re , ! , teed us in the rank which he has assigned to us among is :lions, after having made us discard in a moment of anger all our iniquities ; and that the time has come when we shall receive no other laws than his own." • •• A divine sentence is in the lips of the King; he trans gressetlt not in judgment."—Prov. xvi. 10. •• A wise King acattereth the wicked, and passth the wheel over them."— Prow. MC. 20.—Who can doubt the wheel? The Archhishop addressed a speech to the King. in which he described him as " the two-fold saviour of his people, the founder of a new era, the legislator of a state fatigued by SO years of systems. now become the pacificator of nations, and the deliverer of Kings !" The king:replied— " I sensibly feel what you say to me ; you have bestowed on me praises which Ido not merit. I repeat, it is God who has done all. Let us then return thanks to him for all his mercies. Let us thank the Motner of God, the Queen of An gels, who has never ceased to give us marks of tier powerful protection."

An important error crept into one of our extracts from the French papers yesterda). In the news from the Grand Head Quarters it was said—`•The King has issued a Decree,by which be has granted an amuesty, in gene: al, to the guilty. The first authors of the Revolution are not excepted." The latter sentencu ought. unfortunately. to have been rendered thus— •• From this are excepted the first authors of the Revolution." Ours was not the only evening paper that was led into the error. BavoNsre, Oct. 7.—A1l eyes are turned upon Mina, who is not likely to yield Without a vigorous resistance. It is affirmed that he has written to the Regency, that the lives of a French Lieutenant-tieneral, of a great number of superior Officers, and of two Bishops, who are in his power, shall answer for that of Riego, who is now in prison at Madrid, under the custody of the Captain of the Guard. It was said that a Decree of the Regency was to be published in a few days, retstahlishing the Inquisition. This tribunal has already been reinstated in some places. particularly at Valladolid, where the people raised a tumult an order to have it restored. Other great cities will, doubt less, soon follow this example, especially, if we consider the addresses that have been sent ; for instance that of Saragossa. In which it is said—' The tranquillity of the nation will not be confirmed, unless the holy and august Tribunal is established; because many persons do not dare to make declarations before the ordinary Tribunals, for fear of drawing on themselves nnplesant consequences; whereas they would make them to the Holy Office, whose religion discretion is well known." listexotrrn.—On Tuesday morning lest, the °Metre of the coast guard station at Winterton seised on the beach there a large open logger, having on board about 200 half ankers of Geneva. Some resistance was made by the smugglers, and it Wsapposed that several of them were ly wounded ; and we regret to stale that the officers were very much beaten, Wag opposed to ten times their number.

Cwotz, Oct s.—We emend here atuldst the acclamations of a people fa , igued of the tyranny of the Cortes. The Grand (lead quarters ret.off to morrow to return to 3ladrid. The Royal guard will rmbeli, it is said, for Brest. M. Count de Poo:moot will remain at Cadiz with S 004) men. The King leaves Xeres to morrow to go to Seville, and afterwards proceeds to Madrid, which he will enter with the Duke d'Angouleute and the Royal Family, on the IA of next month. Ferdioand.the Seventh places the greatest confidence in the French. lie does oot cease to speak of his gratitude to the King of France and the Duke d'Angonleine. Count Bourbon Bus el will accompany him to Seville. All the Spanish troops have set off from hence, with the exception of the regiment of the Princess, which was always devoted to the King. The day of the bombardment, a battalion of the regiment run through tliP streets of Madrid crying out, " Long live the King." It was the Minister of Justice of the Cortes, Calatrava, who made the proposition for the Aosemblt• to dissolve themselves and submit to his blaj•sty. The proposition of Calatrava was adopted by a thong majority. From that pet iod the King was free. (111' A COURIER EXTRAORVINARV.) Mad: id, Oct. 9. The King, our Lord, orders the following Decree, dated Xeres, Ort. •I: Ilis alaje•ty (Tders that during his journey to his capital, no indisiduil who, during the Constitutional system was a deputy of the Cortes of the two last legislatures, shall appear within 5 leagues of the road. The same is orhered with respect to the Ministers, Coun cillors of State, :Members of the Tribunals of Supreme Jos. tice, General Command-is, Pol:ti cal Chiefs, those employed with the Secretary of S:ate, chiefs and officers of the former militia, and National Volunteers, whom his Majesty' forbids, for ever, entrance into his capital, or his Roya residence, which they must not approach within fifteen leagues. The wish of the King is, that this decision shall cot he applicable to those individuals, who have, since the enter ance of the allied army, obtained of the PI oviional Junta, or the Regency of the Kingdom, a new nomination or a confirmation of the employment they held from his Majesty before the 7th Marc% 1`. , 211. The present decree shall be cormimnicated without delay, to the General Commanders of the Provinces, that they shall take immediately all necessary measures to put it into execution. PAltl3, Ocr. I4.—The King has decided that in remem brance of the taking of the Fort Stall Petri, the ship Centaure, in which Rear Admiral Itotours' flag was flying on that glorious day, shall henceforth bear the name of Santi Petri. Az, OCT. day before yesterday the famous revolu tionary Italian Count Lunatti, came out of the fort of Urgel, with a Hag of truce, accompanied by 5 chasseurs. Ile arrived yesterday at Cerdagne. It is assured he is going to give his submission, and that of the Garrison of Fort Urgel, to Marshal Moncey. The Journal des Debuts of Tuesday contains no intelligence worth traubcribitig. Ferdinand has commenced the career which we antici pated. Vengeance is the order of the day, and the royal appetite for blood must be satiated. The amnesty pro mised, excludes the original authors of the revolution ; and in the list of the original authors of a movement common to the nation, at one period, may be easily in cluded every one whose death may be required. The amnesty at Naples was attended with sanguinary neva- THE STATESMAN. ILS. DUE. (....Holland 0 o....Hamhro 0 1.... France 0 0 ...Flanders .O 0....Ma1ta .O ♦RR.

The amnesty of the King of Portugal, bas filled the prisons with the suspected victims of despotism : —and the amnesty of Ferdinand will have similar characteristics of royal mercy, and royal justice. The Regency has been continued in its power, until the King reaches Madrid. Already we are informed that the sentence of Riego has been pronounced, and probably the first act of Ferdinand, on his arrival at Madrid, will be the sacrifice of this gallant soldier. General Vigo, in contempt of an express stipulation that he should be the prisoner of the French army, to whom he surrendered at Corunna, has been seized by the soldiers of the Faith, and thrown into a dungeln, to be dealt with also as one of the authors of the revolution. Of Quiroga we yet hear nothing ; and we trust that he has effected his escape from Cadiz, and saved Ferdinand one crime io the black catalogue of the offences of his hypocritical life. The contrast between the moderation of a revolution, completed without shed ding one drop of blood ; and the restoration of a tyrant, by the sacrifice of thousands of unoffending lives, will soon be apparent ; and the Ultras of this country may illuminate their houses on the re-establishment of the Holy Inquisition which, if not the work of their hands, is the effect of their sufferanre. One thing in the behaviour of Ferdinand pleases us. When that wretched, base, and foolish traitor to the Constitution, Ballasteros, was introduced to him, he would not look at the silly scoundrel, who held the fate of his country, and his own ho nour, and sold both to the invaders Ballasteros requ!sted a private interview, in the hope of ' whining himself into the good graces of the liberated despot ; but this was refused him. lie was made to feel that contempt was the only reward of a treason, the ad vantages of which had been gained. Its author was no longer needed ; awl was only an object of hatred, and of scorn. Such ever be the reward of villainy f May Morino, d'Abisbal, and all the half sold wretches, who attempt to I steer a midd:e course, meet with the same fate. And it is hi lily probable they will ;—fur even Ferdinand cannot value the services of men, who have sold themselves to a foreign invader. The fate of Mina, Milan., Itoten, and I.loberas, we would hope is yet in their ' own hands. Submission would be certain death ; and their country may yet want them for a third, and more successful revolution. Capitulation to the French, affords no better security ; for it is certain that if Ferdinand required them, they would be given up to his vengeance. Unless, there. I fore, they can secure a retreat, it were better for them to die with arms in their hands, and fall in the midst of their enemies—than be exposed to the studied tortures of super stitions fanatics, or to the brutal rage of an ignorant popu- Ine. To maintain the war in Catalonia alone, is beyond the chance of probability, unless those who are averse to the establishment of a despotism should rise in other quar ters, of which there is little hope, until the French troops are withdrawn. The private soldiers of the Madrid and Seville Militia, who, to the last evinced a readiness to sacrifice their lives in defenceof the constitution, have received passports to re turn to their homes, on pain of being treated as rebels.— But how many of them will reach their homes ? Tbey have to pass through the exulting Bands of the Faith ;and unarm ed, exposed to insult, and to assassination, but few can be expected to survive to give Ferdinand any future cause of fear. Why was not some attempt made to place these soldiers, who have to blush mere for their leaders than fur themselves, under the command of Al ina ? Some of the" more daring, may perhaps yet find their way to Catalonia, where the contest is not yet ended. It would seem that Mina has neither idea of surrender, nor fear of being subdu ed ! for he has declared that if !Cep be sacrificed, the li ecs of a French Lieutenant (ieneral,uf a number of superior officers, and of two Bishops, who are in his power, shall be the atonement. He is known to be a man, whose word is not given inject ; and should he keep it in this instance, the world would applaud it as an act of just retributive re venge. Accounts from Constantinople of the middle of last month, state that the appearance of Lord Byron in the waters of the Morea has occupied the Divan very much as well as the public of the capital. Letters were received yesterday from Buenos Ayres, dated the 31st of uly, which state that the convention with Spain had been duly ratified by the Congress. and that Commis sioners had bt en sent to Tucuman, Chili, and Peru, to in duce those States to accede to its conditions. Letters were yesterday received, by the way of Guernsey. from Rio dr Janeiro, to the l.ith of August, being a few days latm than those brought by the packet. They, how ever, ccntain no particular news. The Royal Commissioner Paolino, sent out with overtures by the King of Portugal, subsequent to the late c h at Lisbon, had been coin. polled to go on board a vessel in the harbour, to escape from the tury of the populace. The Rerrt of the Select Committee appointed to inquire Into the coadition of the poor of Ireland, with a view to facilitate the application of the funds of individuals for the employment of productive labour, has just been pt hard.— The Committee rernark,that the tranquil state of the North of Ireland, where the linen manufacture is esteitlished, and in those distticts of the South where it bus been intro duced, affords a proof 4f the immediate connection existing between employment and peace and the want of it and turbulence. The peasantry ti.emselves manifest every w betel! great anxiety for labour, so that those remaining unemployed is not attributable to any want of will on their part. The Report touches on what seems viewed as the chief cause of the want of employment—the excessive population.— " Various causes (they say) have been referred to, by the witnesses exa.nined before your Committee, as being suffi cient to account for the want of employment in lrelen.l. Perhaps the nearest cause may be traced to the rapid in crease of the population. In the year 1695, the population was calculated to be 1,034,102; in 1731.2,010,221 ; in 1791, 4,200,000 ; in 115114, 5,400.0110 ; and in 1621, nearly 17,000,000. The productions of industry have not increased in the saute ratio, and the command for labour has consi derahly diminished, if compared with the number of persons seeking for employment." To counteract the evils lamented, the Committee have suggested rather pal latives than remedies. As to political remedies they are silent. The Lora Chancellor has heaped places in such qnantity upon one of his lavoaCtes, it requires a Ciir to carry thew. CADIZ. Extract of a Letter from an English Gentleman long resident in Cadiz, dated Oct- IS23:— " The confusion and dismay which reigned in Cadiz, after the bombardment, exceed all description ; until ie commer.evnient, Constitution and resistan ce were on evert person's tongue; but when the shells fell into the town, all the efforts of the garrison could not prevent terro r from overpowering the hearts of the numerous inhabitants, who, panic struck, sought a refuge fram the enemy's fury. Sir ROBERT WILSON, who commanded the Cortadura and advanced lines on that side, assisted by many of our coin trymen, joined with the Constitutional Members of the Cortes, and the Ministers Cehorese. and YANDIOLA, in the most noble efforts to re-animate the people, and instil into their minds some of their own spirit and fearless courage. The brave garrison supported with discipline and velour the fatigues and dangers of the day; but the troops had suffered much from privation and fiord duty; large sums of money had been distributed among the rabble: some even of the Cortes had been corrupted; others participated in the general panic ; the KING made the most salemn assurances of mediation, and was suffered to em bark, ere the Madrid Volunteers were informed of the event, otherwise it would hare been impossible. I accom panied the retinae here; his Moszsze was received on the Mole by a concourse of French, Priests, and populace. A procession accompanied the Royal Family to their quarters, composed of soldiers, friars, officers, and rabble, armed with banner, crosses. Virgins, poniard's, torches; there was i savage joy in their countenances, as they cried " Viva el Rey. viva la Religion, muera la Nation, 'lntern s " los Negros. ' The respectable part of the French officers followed at a distance, and observed tie scene with indifference and contempt. The next day the Royal Family, with their renter attend. ants, went to the Cathedral, where in hymos, songs, prayers, mirth and drunkenness, the crowd expressed their pleasure at being . empowered to ratify their revengeful spirits. As they issued front the Church, all the dwell ings of those marked fur Constitutional principles became the prey of these hlood-thirsty " Faithful ;" the houses of many of our friends were ransacked and pillaged, and every thing which can contribute to freedom, instruction, or improvement., instantly burnt or broken to pieces in the streets, amidst " Vivas" and rejoicings ; some even of the higher class and Priests encouras;ed to the commission of these deeds, Veiaustegui, Orlando and Padre Conrad() being the most active. " The emigrations increase hourly—of 609 National Volunteers belonging to this city, .12e have already fled to the mountains of Niebla and Ronda, to escape t le ignominious death which awaits many of their comrades, who have been inzprioned, and are to be tried by &military tribunal as Constitutionals. At Xeres, San Lacer, Port Royal, and all the neighbouring villages, these violent measures have spread consternation, and hundreds of the best families have abandoned their homes, taken refer/els the mountains, and become wanderers, and almost rubbers to support their existence. The effervescence among the lower class of people is intense; authorized to satiate their passions, they hunt all those who are compromised as blued hounds on the scent, and assa'sinate them when dis. covered. The state of the country is dreadful; it surpasses all description in anarchy, contusion and bloodshed. Tic French do little to prevent these cruelties, but should thy depart, universal depopulation and desolation must ensue. 77de French, rev understand, leave already sent fast sailing vessels to Tenerifje, Cuba, and South America, to summon them to surrender to the Allied arms, and return to en. limited obedience to King Ferdinand. What influene these emissaries may have is not known, bet 1 learn fro' good authority that the L'nited States have antieipated them in their views at the liavannah, and that it is believed England will not allow them to revolutionise the Weston World. " General Downie, Col. Browne, and many other Offices confined w . th bum, have waited upon his Majesty and the Duke, and have experienced the most flattering reception. The General bus been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Genera as &reward for his services and sufferings, and the others have been attended to in proportion. Sir Wm. A'Court is expect eel, and I hear will receive the Ribband of Charles 111. for his influence in bringing übout the restoration ; his friends praise the diplomatic art he has evinced here and at Naples, in which they find great affinity. •• I fear for the lives of the brave youths of the Madrid litia, suns of the first families in the kingdom ; they had about dotted all to save their country ; health, wealth, honours, In ury, and pleasure had no charms for them without liberty—she is gone, is lost for ever ; and these young heroes will be sacri- I to the demons of revenge by fanatics on the scaffolds of despotism." DE3IERA RA . --minim.— A letter from Demerara, dated the 31st August, says— " The consequences to the negro population of the late in snrrection have been dreadful ; every where the outrage could only be suppressed Ity instant example, and those ex amides up to the present time cannot be fewer than 1,1100, and it will be a very long time indeed before the system of severity ran with safety be dispensed with. It has appeare on the clearest evidence, that every estate eastward up ani down the river, and the west coast, even to the Poineroos river, have had their agents in town. Lines of commusi• cation hare been adopted in a manner that could net have been thought of by negroes. Some of the meetings are ascertained to have been held under the control of methodist preachers, too of whom, together with the manager of one of the estates that has revolted, are in canto dy. We are at present tinder martial law, and all the WA. bitants are doing duty as soldiers : we consider our persons and property perfectly secure. The prisoners are tried at the daily court, and executed at sun-set. One circumstance had transpired which peculiarly shows the atrocious plat of the insurrection—which is, that the principal of every family was to be murdered by his own servants." Extract of another letter dated Demerara, 31st Aseast, 1823 :—" The tragedy acted by the nee roes in this cobs* approaches, if nut totally to a close, at least very near i t.— The energetic steps which were taken wahine loss of Use, prevented the execution of their further concerted pier...— The death of at least 310 uf these unfortunate men, coaled the ardour of the remaining negro rebels. Shooting and hanging, which is now the order of the day, appears no:te have been anticipated by them. They have retreated iota the swamps, and are without any kind of provisions for their subsistence. The Indians who are summoned, accord: ing to the old Dutch custom, to receive rewards for the* valour, attack them in the rear; and our brave Cclos4 Leahy does not allow any one negro to appear on limas/as- No plantations are destroyed, nor any whites murdered. but plundered only. Still the shock is very great, ardit* apprehended that the consequences will be sensibly frith* some time. For 12 days past all commeice has been at a stand. The houses are shut ma, and the town ts cm verted into barracks. Every one is in arms who is able to bear them." WINDSOR, OCT. Li.—The King-. with the usual persona of his suite, took an kiting this day in the Park tiff Royal Highness the Princess Augusta is expected at Fret more this evening, from London. The tradespeople of tar Royal Highness are making preparations for an illumina tion. His Maj.•sty took his usual airing in the Park yss• terday. Yesterday the Earl of Fir, Lord and Lady CO' per, and the Honourable Mr. Lamb took leave of the Kipp Mr. Wharton, clerk of the King's Kitchen, dropp'l dowe dead suddenly in his room on Monday evening. He bad been in the service of his late Majesty for several years, and was resnected by all who knew him.
