LISBON PAPERS. ALICANT, JULY I.—Various letters from the vicinity of the places occupied by the French in La Mancha, Arragon, and Catalonia, concor in mentioning their precipitate retreat at all points.

CATA LONIA, JULY 7.—The pnblic enthusiasm is reviving, and the means of safety, which the urgency of our dangers imperiously prescribe, are • prosecuted with greater energy than eier. The in. deratigable O'Duunel is again at the head of the army of this province, the head-quarters of which are at present in Tariagotia. On the sth, there was a slight affair with a French corps, which made a sortie from Barcelona, but immediately returned. Eight Italians deserted to us, and as many more. dispersed then selves, and are expected at Molina de ltei. During this movement, Captain D. June Moreda, with the assistance of 10 rank and file, had the . boldness to approach the fortree of Barcelona, so ~ flair as actually to pass within the linos of Forte iPio, and to carry off from the very ditch 90 sheep, amidst the confusion occasioned by an enterprise of • .this sort.

THE MORNING CiIIiGNICLZ of this day his the ful•lu wing very extraordinary article: The late rosvulsiou in the mercantile world has given rue to a project of a new Joint Stork Company, with a capital of five millwas, ander tue title of 't Toe Commercial Loan and laterett Company." It is to be divided Mtn three branches : I. The Deposit /segos*, tic a genera l accommodation on real property, the profit of which to accumulate at com pound uncrest. Interest Braga, by which persons may deposit small sums, and receive the Company's bills, bearing interest. 3 Credit Braxcls, by which Subseriben may draw at 183 days, 9 or I?. atontln date, on the Company, fur three-foarths of the amount of his stock, upon his cognovit. to provide for the same three days before the period of his bills—by this hi, capital is to be made active, The plaa has litany details, and it is said that three of the first characters iodic City patronize the plan. This is gravely given in The Chronicle, without any note of sarprize, or question ; and therefore; we suppose, was gravely received by the Editor. It will, however * be read with a smile upon every countenance, except by such as having still some respect left for The Chronicle, are ready to drop a tear over its departed brightness. The Chronicle formerly had a very accurate knowledge of puliti. cal economy. It shone as one of the lint of stars in that hemisphere. /few is all this altered, aid. how du such articles as the above gut into the Paper ? It is a matter to he lamented, bielllmlrb The Chronicle is a Paper of great regiendellis and generally takes the side that Inset. Neves the tree interests of the People, which The Chronick has been well acquainted with, and has been the able advocate of.roThe proposition is so ridiculous, that it must boi.abeosehesou of some madman ; unless, indeed, it is the project of specia., later:, to take advantage of the distresses of the times, in of f ering temporary relief to lasting, to im. moveable distresses. A scheme of this sort teas set ou foot some years since by Ilawrsina, PLA Y. F AIR, and HUTCHINSON, which terminated is their uwu ruin, and that of many individuals concerned with them. We do not accuse those three persons with designing anything wrong, is the trial they made, fog. theip angered by it. Hat who cats osOunsly i for their, own &eke, make the attempt apt*, et:pectins it to prosper upon any real ' traUliCia4,o3 3 ISCh IA :re proposed ?..11."—iett • irowt; .. ~ u ~~~ ,WAy. may talk of three, or a doses, respectable cha racters in the city patronizing the plan ; but if they are respectable, it must be for their geed in. tendons; and past good conduct—it castrot be for their foresight, or even present knowledge! If they are honest, they are ignorant, be they whom they may ! If they are honest, some designing spe culators have drawn them into this scheme, for the s • 'purpose of inning - that's (the speculators') dead and immovable stud. into good bills, under what is face. tiously called the Credit Branch. The Credit Subscriber may draw on the Compaq for three. fourths of the amount of his stock. Vastly well ! There will be many a Credit Subscriber, who will be glad to sell you all his stock at three-fourths of the amount of its value, and sell you another and another stock after that at the same rate, and will live by the loss ! But if a tradesman is nut of this description, how is he to be benefited by the depo sit ? The scheme says very pleasantly, that this deposit, and getting bills on the Company, will make the Credit Subscriber's capital active. How is that ? By locking it up in a worse hole than even Heligoland ? Oh ! but the bills may be made active, when the goods they thus •represent, would have lain dead and immov. able ! But how is that to be? If it be in paying the manufacturer fur the goods, that won't move the stock ; and if it be in buying new goods, that will only bring the credit subscriber to your pawn. shop with more goods, also to he locked up! But s perhaps, the deposited goods are to be sold by the Company's managers, wholesale or retail, at Auc tion Marts, or in warehouses, or shops, or to be sent to fieligolond, or any place where you can land your goods, with or without easterners. If that is the scheme, no tradesmau will give you his go oils, (bona fideleught) for 25 per cent. less than their va ue, leaving you to sell them (if you can find a market) at your discretion, which discretion may throw away all his profit. Men who get goods on credit, never meaning to pay, or indifferent as to the matter of paying for them or not, not only may, but will come with stock, for your Company's bills, at three-fourths its value, and it mill answer their purpose; but if you are honest bow is it to answer your's, that is to say, the Company's purpose, unless you are to sell the goods at the full price of the dealer, and so get 251. per cent.? But does any. body expect that ? And does any body expect that dealers who have goods bold fide their own will put that game into your hands to play ? There is an absurdity in thuscheme, any way, that, is almost childish to combat ; and we should nut have wasted this space on it, if it had been in soy newspaper, unworthy of notice (sod Goo knows there ere several insch).—But where it ie, we fear it may be mischievous; and if The Chronicle writers will not see, it is right we should prevent the public from falling into the ditch with them ! Tau Morning Post has the following to-day " The Address to the Army in favour of the esscb-hijured Duke et YORK, certainly proceeded from no military body whatever, and his Royal Highness, in far frosts giving any counteatince to it, expressed his utmost displeasure on the oc casion. We understand it was the produratin of Mr. W. a Gratlernan of one of the Inns of Court." The essgk-injured Duke: True enough, he is injured! but who has injured him ? Why, The Morning Post, and his other indiscreet friends. I"he Duke may pray to be delivered from his com forters, for no man ever was so unfortunately coin. forted as he has been. As to the person alluded to as having written the Address, we are quite ignorant of that. But doss The Morning Post mean to say, the Gentleman wrote the Address as a hoax upon the Public ? Very well! The Public, unfortii. stately, is liable to the jest created by such kind of wit. We believe, however, that the article was written for the army ; that the plan of getting hands to it was tried, and that it failed from the hootiag odium it excited. It might nut proceed from any military body : but it might proceed, and we be. lieve it did, from Officers of rank, intending to make it the act of the-Anne, an act (as we have said) treading closely upon medley and treason ! The Lou, however, The Morale: Post says about the Dux*, the more friendly will that Paper be to his Royal Highness ; and.** his Royal Highness has suffered so sena laiArkVielallikes it would be mercy total Ail auseli.injured Prince now alone! . ~.1 —.4111!••• A lifintatitites.
