LONDON, FIIIDAY, Fasau4av I, 1824. Toesday's Franc'le papers, and the Mode of Wedaea4 day, reached us last night. They do not contain a single article of the slightest interest. The state of Spain continues will the same ; wretched, oppressed, and des- tnuee, tyranny and misery are felt everywhere. The Res- terrador of the seid has a letter from Villaesyo (in Old Cathie), stating that the 11,iyalict commandant in that little town, hid succeeded in organising there, as well as in the other communes around him, 3,000 Tolun- teas, armed and equipped to support the Throne and the Altar—that is, the foulest tyranny and the grossest superstition ; for in Spain these designations are syno- nimous. Where Ferdinand and his Ministers will find funds to pay these bands, is another question. The Visoointe Marallus bad been sent from Paris to press a financial arrangement with the Spanish Cabinet; but though the Constitutional loans were recognised to-morrow, would any capitalists in Europe contract with such a Cabinet, and lend largely on such security? If France is looking for the immense sum of 40 millions of francs,—its expenditure within the Pyrenees in the last campaign,— where can the Spanish despot, or his followers, find such a sum, with a treasury that does not contain a piastre. The emancipated Colonies will prclably be looked to after all, at the only means of supply, and the highest bargain made for the acknowledgment of their independence, if they will make the sacrifice.

It is sufficiently annoying to see the Chancellor rise, at two o'clock, from the hearing of a cause, on the issue of which a whole family perhaps de pend for existence—under the pretence that the tables for dinner have to be laid in Lincoln's Inn Hall—and gravely state that he has no Court to sit in; as if he could not command the Rolls' Court awing the whole forenoon, or the Exchequer Chamber in Westminster Hall, or half a dozen other places, if he were inclined to do so, and let the appeals of the suitors to his Court go on. But Lord Eldon's feelings are never interested, except where his oafs interests are involved, and then the melting mood comes on ; he can then weep most plenteously. To him it is a matter of no consideration where the poor ha rassed suitor finds refreshing fees for Counsel on each day's protracted hearing, or means to meet the monstrous expense created by the delays of whole Terms ; while the venerable Sexagenarian quits his Court for the ease of Ha milton-place, and recruits his appetite, by the walk, for the There is yet some prospect that Spain may be brought to relinquish her claims of supremacy over her emancipated colonies, and by • solemn concession acknowledge their ind e p e ndence. Overturn to that effect are said to have been made to our Cabinet, an answer to which has now probably reached Madrid, and the important decision may therefore be soon expected. Such a recognition would be 'luxuries of a Cabinet dinner. }le has little feeling or re flection for the situation of those who pine in anxiety and want, with all the misery of hope deferred, which makes the heart so sick. The unhappy parent may be stretched on his bed of care and illness, and his children hang round his fevered couch, without education, and almost without bread, wh'de their appeal remains for months, and years, awaiting Lord Eldon's dubious decision. How feelingly his Lordship can speak of his own anxieties and cares, with oriental wealth, and a monopoly of power and influence about him ! —how pathetically be can dwell, with the heavy drops of sorrow in his eyes, on any temporary endurance of his own ! But has he ever tetired from the Cabinet Council or the Cabinet feast, and thought of the unmitigated wretchedness of the many whom the delays atnl expenses of his Court have ruined forever ;—the agonized father, who has left his children orphans; the mother, who has seen despair and want gradually thicken around her home ? These are not the dark visions of fancy; they are the gloomy realities of every day's occurrence. Lord Eldon might prevent them, in a great degree, were he so disposed ; but he ap pears immoveable; and we do therefore anxiously hope, that the Legislature will at length ibterfere and remedy such cruel abases. The question was brought forward by Mr. Williams, with equal judgment and ability, during the last Session : inquiry will have enabled him to add many afflict ing cases to his roll of heavy hardships since. If the Chan cellor has not strength or time to devote to the important bu siness of his Court, and the despatch of the appeals depend ing thee, be ought to maga ? or be temored : we know of nothing about hlm; either as a Minister or otherwise, that we could regret for a single Instant.

On Friday, the 12th of December, a French vessel arrived at Pernambuco from Rio Janeiro, bringing an account of the Emperor having dissolved the Cortes ; and by the same conveyance some of the Pernain buco Deputies returned to Pernambuco. This caused a great sensation, and a very numerous meeting took place at the palace, to consider of the measures to be adopted in conse quence thereof. The meeting did not separate until six o'clock at night, and it was decided that Deputies should be despatchtvl to Rio do Janeiro to the Emperor, to com municate with him relative to his late proceedings. No thing further of importance occurred excepting the election of Carvalho, the Intendant, as President rro tempore. It was understood at Ptrnambuco that the Government there would wait the result of the communications to the Em peror before they adopted any decisive measure.

Colombia, Mexico, Chili, Pent, and the La Plata, are, to all in tents and purposes, completely independent ; the very wildest dream of the imagination could not fancy that any effort by Spain would be successful in restoring her lost supremacy. The terms on which she would make the con cession of freedom would probably be the payment of a large sum by the five colonies into her exhausted treasury. The sacrifice by them would be a wise and prudent one ; for the acknowledgment of their independence by Spain would be followed by that of every other Power in Europe. The question of their virtual independence, it is true, an no longer be disputed ; but this recognition wculd set it at rest for ever, and insure their domestic peace and prosperity : considerable benefits would also ac crue to Spain herself; her commercial Intercourse from Cadiz, and other ports, once so great, would again re vive, and be met with favour and protection in the New. World. She could not exercise that despotic monopoly which for so many centuries fettered the trade and re sources of these fine provinces; but the industry of her merchants would meet more than a eatrespondiug return for any exertions they might make; and Spain, In a free and unrestricted trade with her emancipated Colonies, might receive again a portion of the unbounded wealth of Mexico and Peru. No expedition that wretched country could despatch from her shores could now 'possibly make any impression in those regions. She might protract for a while the lingering contest round Cape Horn, and enable the remnant of her followers to hold a solitary for tress on those distant shores, but her dominion in the New World is for ever gone ; any effort she can now make is rift!) , the last flaring of the candle before it sinks in darkness in its socket for ever : she may much better, there fore, resign the hopeless effort at once. We are persuaded, however; that but for the determination of our Cabinet, and the declaration of /traffics, Spain would have been aided by the Continental Powers in one despairing effort for dominion, end that a . powerful armament would before now have sailed fram her ports and those of France, against Mexico or Colombia. But the menace of an American and British fleet has paralysed that resolution, and negociation is the only weapon left in the feeble hands of the Spanish Cabinet; a few mouths, I therefore, will probably witness the reluctant acknow ledgment of independence in the Colonies, and the sceptre of Spain be for ever broken in her bands. The effect pro duced by the appointment of Consuls for this country to those provinces has been already of the most favourable description. Different commercial houses in Jamaica were preparing to establish branches in Colombia, with which the intercourse was always very great; and the British trade through the Atlantic ports of that one great republic alone, was expected soon to reach to the enormous amount of five , millions sterling. With such prospects now within reitek! what may not be expected when this splendid portion et. the New World settles down into permanent tranqailik i ; and all the unbounded sources of its wealth and rodeo. tiveness are unlocked and in full motion? Admiral Sir'''. L. Halsted and family, and his Majesty's Contrairdooseo, the Consuls-General, and some of the Consuls for Colombia, were entertained at Barbados by Mr. Cavan, of that Island, during their stay of one day : their arrival in the New Wield bed produced confidence andipstimal activity. The commerce of this great country rosy tans, in prospect, be' said to be unlimited ; vast as it Is at present, no bounds can be assigned to its future extension. The Eastern and Western Worlds are both flung open to us, and the sails of our merchants crowd every sea. It is now we are beginning to feel the unexampled blessings of repose, and to recover from the effects of those mighty efforts that shook all Europe, and extended our name and glory through every part of the habitable world. May those , blessings, and that tranquillity for which we paid so great a price, long endure ! It is the int•nest of other nations, as well as ours, that the ravages of war should cease, and social arts and industry take, in their turn, their peaceful triumph. Last night there was no debate. The Lords were not summoned ; and, in the Commons, there were not, at half past four o'clock (the usual hour of business), members sufficient to constitute a House. This is the policy of Ministers : occupied at their offices in important business during the day, they are naturally anxious to escape the fatigue and anxiety of protracted discussion in the Com mons' House at night, when the war of words can be! avoided; and if the Opposition Benches are not fuller than Brookes's, Mr. Holmes, who is the recruiting -sergeant of the Treasury, and sometimes called the whipper-in, will 1 1 nut sulfa a House to be made. This is the system by which things are managed at Westminster. In fact, it is next to impossible to make a full llouse, except on a night when a trial of strength takes place between both parties., We have seen Lord Edenborough discussing the Marriage Act, in the House of Lords, last Session, to an audience,' within the Bar, of five Peers—two of them spiritual, and the other two temporal—who were half asleep, while the Chancellor almost nodded on the woolsack.

Far a long w ile the martial law reigned in these Isles ; now the laws of quarantine, equally severe, have succeeded them. We hope, however, that these ruin ous and vexatious measures, as well affecting commerce as the whole inhabitants of the neighbouring Isles, will not be long endured.

There is much talk in this capital of the ordinance which relates to the permanent councils of war, and it is asked where is the public force that will be charged to had their efforts in executing the orders of the Council ? For it is most notorious that there are in surrections in all the provinces, and that it will be very difficult to make the people return to that state of passive obedience from which jt iv always so dangerous to rouse them. We do not think it belongs to the privileges of the French troops to be come the executors of these military commissions; and, as we hare not (we may almost say) any national troops, it will be absolutely necessary to require a certain class of eitirens to sup port these new authorities. For, in recalling the troubles which exist in the Provinces, it is certain that they are very serious in part , of Andalusia, and especially in the environs of Valencia.— At kspinas there has been a rising among the Canooniers, which evinced itself in the districts there.

CoLoowE, From tl2O report of the C6lllmlssioners, relative to the liqui4lation of the ciaitn‘ of the Rhenish provinces of the Prussian 3lotiarchy, originating in the period when they were in the hands e• France, it appears that the whole amount of the claims recognised in the yeah 18'11 and 111211. was 3f.X17,741 francs; nearly 2v minimal are claims, for which a lie claimants ha titles, and about 6,410,611111 claims fur which no legal title could be prodticed, but which are allowed as equitable. REDUCTION IN TUE RATE or BANK INTEREST.—.. Little more than a year ago the Banking Companies of Scotland reduced the rate of interest from tour to three percent., and they have now, it is said, come to the reso lution of taking oft' another ptr cent.; so that the new rates will be as tcllows On money at present lodged in sums not exceeding ISIVOL, in terest to be allowed at 2 per cent. On money deposited on accounts to be opened, where the sum exceeds I,INWL 2 per cent. On suns under 1,9001., 3 per cent. to be allowed as at present. These are the terms of this Bank of Scotland—terms to which the other companies are expected to adhere, with some immaterial differences, that bear verry little upon the general principle. Nay, it is even said, that Sir William Forbes and Co. have apprised the public, that, in future, they will allow no interest whatever upon sums exceeding 5,0001. —l)einyi•ies Courie r. We believe that resolutions to the effect alluded to have already been adopted by the other great Banking Com panies in Edinburgh. Indeed, so great is the difficulty in making profitable investments of capital at present, that according to the information of a correspondent, bills of undoubted credit have been discounted in Glasgow at Xi per ceut. —See/so/am : _ _ Glasgow and Paisley geods are sold in Nieseow as cheap as in this country, all smuggled of course, but regularly stamped with the marks of Ilnasian manufacturers.
