The Statesman. — London, England, 1823-08-18 00:00:00

••••-- • •• - II THE STATESMAN: a m! toe fa,t heir of that family must be sought out, or some oce f oo od who will swear, to the satisfaction of the Holy Allier, that we shall be governed quite as infamously as any scion of the house of Stuart could govern ! We hope these , ro iced and sceptered fools will proceed with their out rages to co mmon sense, that the world may by effectually ro used to pinion them like Ferdinand of Spain, and pre vent them from being mischievous as well as ridiculous.— Jt bedlam for its Royal inhabitants, would be the best insti. pities for contieentel Europe :—and when they next meet in Congress, if an army of :masons would march to wall. them in, and put them in strait waistcoats if they were boisterous, the tranquillity of Europe would bare some chaos of being restored. • The New Times, finding foreign hoaxes in favour of Bourbon policy will net succeed, tries one of its own this morning, against the holders of Spanish Bonds ; which having advanced to 37t, he says is " a price which in any ' creams) , be considered their utmost valve." He goes on to add, that " many years must elapse before the finances of " Spain can be placed on such a footing as to pay the haw ! est of the debt with regularity, much less to dischuge *the principal. The restoration cif the royal government doubtless, tend to improve and bring into order the It" resources of the kingdom; but when a country has so long * suffered from misgovernment and civil dissention, it " would be vain to expect an immediate renovation of its 4 , public credit from any charge, however wise of salutary." There is a pretty slave, who has recourse to downright falsehood, and wilfat lying, in the hope that he may 'deceive. The only ground of confidence in the value of the Spanish Bonds, is that the royal government may woe be restored. If by any mis chance it should loe so, the church lands, and national do• mains, pledged by the Cortes as security to the hollers of the bonds, would be restored to the church and the royal government. In all probability the bonds would be alto gether disowned; and it is certain, if they were not, that the interest would never be " regularly" paid. The Cortes, if the Constitutionalists succeed, will be soon in a ' condition to defray both principal and interest; fur the amount of the debt is trifling, and a few years of tranquillity would suffice for the liquidation. But suppose it admitted, that the principal never would be p 'id, why are the bond bolder, ins worse condition than the fondlsolders of Eng land? Our debt will never be paid. The most sanguine loyalist never hopes that it can be, in his wildest dreams of British prosperity. The King never says that it will, in any of Isis " speeehes;" and yet, in these smooth " piping " times of peace," the funds rise, and while the interest is paid, the principal is never thought about. The idea of a ' royal government, and particularly under such a thing as Ferdinand, improving and bringing into order the resources of a country, is sublimely ritlienlous. The only government that thrii es in the financial way, is America; and there they are luckily without a royal government, and make shift with a much mote economical tradesman like system: probably not being able to perceive, that to pay a great many expensive and useless officers, is the best way to ' " imp roe" resources! The sum osid, indirectly and di rectly, to the ll'ea Times for its royal and loyal stuff, is reported to be between eight and nine thonasnd pounds ; and we dare say that it thinks this an excellent mode of improving the national resources in a= royal guvernment." Arrived yesterday, from Bahia, important intelligence to the 23d ult. announcing the capitulation of that place, and constituently the subduction of the whole country of the Brazil's from the authority of the King of Portngal, and its Establishment, as a separate Monarchy, under his son, the Emperor of the Brazils. On Saturday were received letters from Caracas, dated July 3, together with files of papers from that place up to the same date. Geo. Bolivar, by the last accounts, was at Guayaquil, from whence he had sent 6,000 men to aid the Republic of Peru, and it was thought probable that be would accept their invitation to command their armies.— Maracaibo had been invaded ly the Colombian troops from Santa Martha, ender the immediate command of General Gomez (who defeated Murillo at Margarita in 1817) Ad miralPadillo having previously forced the bar °eit hMay, to cooperstewith him, and embarked Gen. Mathew with two battalions at Moporo. Every thing was tranquil in the rest of the. Republic. Yesterday, New York papers to the 25th ult. were re ceived at the New England Coifesitiouse. Their contenta are unimportant. The Commissioners for ascertaining. • claims antler the treaty with Spain, renewed their sittings at Washington on the 11th. A destructive fire occurred • at Philsdelphia.(in the not them liberties) en the Nth, by: which 20 valuable buildings acre destroyed, and • loss of property caused exceeding to,oofd dollars.

The French news from " the camp before Corunna comes dean to the 2711, alt, They there state they were roing to bombard it on the following day, that is the 2Sth, if it did not surrender. ' The Royal George steam packet left it on the 30th, two days after this threat was to have been executed; and font days after that period, the French were waiting for heavy artillery. The falsehood and pueri lities of the French papers betray their weakness still more then their inaction. TheFrenrh have had a foretaste of what will be the conse quence of their restoring Ferdinand, when they accomplish that object, and evacuate Spain, in an event which tank I place at Luarca, in the Asturias, where the French were " welcomed as deliverers," and " embraced with tears of , " joy."

This is Preach news !-- They add, of coarse, that the movement was eeptessed„ by an appeal of the Governor to the Royalist inhabitants, " who every where form the great majority ;"--bat this only shews how daring the revolutionists are, and how Wt. Ile they dread the " great majority" against them. These are the scenes that will occur in every town, when the French retire from R. A correspondent remarks that the flight of the Spanish 'Cortes mnst precede the liberation of the King of Spain ; or it might be prevented. They have long detained the King agait:st Isis will; and he would doubtless return the column /tient with regard to them. Our currespandent alsa remarks that when the Cones fly, they had better take the King a ith them, out of mere policy to prevent a pursuit; as the French blockading squadron would hardly encounter the horrible chance of sinking a vessel containing the sacred person of the ling. STOCK EXCHANGX.—An application has lately been made by Mr. Butt to 67 Charitable institutiono,demandi ng a sum , of money in their possession belonging to that gentleman, arising omit of property forcibly seized from his Stock Broker by a body of men calling themselves a Committee of the Stork Exchange. We cannot imagine bow this money, arising from time hargains,could lawfully be seized by other parties after payment, by the individuals hosing it, and how the charities can retain it. Ire trust for the hau,,er of the Stock Exchange, the house will review these ' , proceedings, and clear themselves f r om so foul a charge made by Mr. Butt, as the public are already sufficiently apprised, that if bargains made by parties are ta be thus violated by seizure after payment, there is no securty for any future claim made within the calls of that house, by any broker or party connected within kt. Such glaring acts at once doing away all confidence, toil should put the public on their guard, as well as calling forth the necessity of legislative interference, by putting down these improper proceedings, which can only he done by closing the doors or throwing them open to the public.

Nothing can be a stronger proof of the excel kat feeling in foveae of the Spaniards, which does so much honour to Scotland. than that ISI. of this subscription has been made up of contributions from 6.1. tors. chiefly from mechanics and labouring artisans.—Not a shilling was given by the Kilwinning Tories. A subscription in aid of the Spanish patriots was opened on the dth instant at Hawick ; and it gives es pleasure to state, that the Town Council of 'bat boqgb, at a meeting called on purpose, and by a vote nearly numinous, sub. saibed IQf. out of the town's funds.

AUGUST 13.—IMPOSTANT Godfrey Massey, Esq. in coosequeoce of information re ceived by bins, proceeded on Friday night with a party of the Lancers, and Mr. Smith, Police Officer, to the nergh boorhood of Newcastle, and succeeded in apprehending 10 men, charged positively with being the principals in all tke violent outrages committed in this county for the last 14 montbs--such as murders, burniags, and robberies of cattle. The information was received from one of the party, and this apprehension, it is mow considered, will completely restore the county to peace sod quiet—a matter most de voutly to be wished. On Sunday night, the same party proceeded in another direction, and also succeeded in taking taking seven more of the same gang.--(limerick Citron.) A very extraordinary miracle, supposed to be performed by the celebrated Prince Ifohenlolie or rather by the interposition of those prayers which he ordered to be offered up by the par ties on whom the miracle was wrought, is now the subject of intense thought and conversation in every circle in Dublin. — The miracle was wrought on a young lady of the name of Stewart, a nun in the convent of Ranetagh, near Dublin. In our next number we hope we shall he able to give a clear and satisfactory detail of the most respectable evidence in support of this miracle. That the evidence should he clear, and the character of that evidence of the :midst respectable kind, is ad mitted by all parties. We have been informed that Fab evi dence will be produced—when it appears, we shall give our opinion of its conclusiveness to the satisfaction of every im partial man—we say we shall give that opinion without the smallest inclination to any religious denomination wkuttever.— (The Irishman.)

The author, however, seems to be a little ashamed of this cirri, al trick, for his advertisement is in Latin, a blind which might have been of some use when the clergy were clerks, but which may now defeat its own purpose, since there are many well beet liced priests who cannot read it.
