The BZIT/1111 razes commenced publishing yesterday morn ing at lin o'clock. LONDON', THURSDAY, Novxmaza 18, 1824. The French Papers of Monday came to hand last night. Tlie principal news they contain is respecting the Greeks, witose military successes rival their naval glories. The o.o.,titsrliinind, in reference to the arrest of M. Cocsist, c•;rtends that there can be no longer any doubt as to the existence of a general European Inquisition, of which Pans is the centre, though the first oflice has been estab lisi:ed at Mayence. "It is bound together," continues the h:•.itor, "by a secret and active correspondence with fume, Madrid, and Lisbon. A Police, wholly political pe•haps in its origin, has gradually assumed a mystical xitaracter, and at first intended to be directed only against revolutionists, has finally made war upon the best and wisest :rieuds of liberal ideas, and the most enlightened it'sciples of modern philosophy. This Police, arising front a coalition without an example or resemblance in history, sets, like all secret commissions, but with a power, juris diction, concert, and promptitude, which none of them ever tad. It has fallen into the hands of the most intriguing and mischievous of men, devoted fanatically to the t-iumph of their system, and the establishment of universal despotism." A letter we have received from Geneva,relative to the proceedings of the Central Commission of Mayence, states some facts, which, if they be correct, as our informant assures us they are, would induce us to believe that horrible crimes are perpetrated by the Germanic Inquisition. We are unwilling to carry our alarms and suspicious to the extreme length to which this information would lead them, but why arc the proceedings of this tribunal shrouded in darkness and mystery, if they be lit to see the light ? The following is a translation of the letter we Lave received from Geneva, by way of Paris : I have been informed by a person intimately connected with a Prussian refugee, who is now at Aran. (from whence he will pro bably noon be driven,) that the latter had assured him, that the Judiciary Commission of Mayence had lately cot.deruncil 34 Wl ',duals, accused of bolding meetings for conspiracy, raccoon de 4...-n2esdelisagogipses.) and who are to be secretly executed, one the other, in the differ...tit fortresses where they are confined. some of them. it re believed from all appearances, have even al. p,ady been executed. This Prussian refugee, who has unveiled tb.s dreadful mystery, has himself reason to expect, if not the same vestment, at least a most severe imprisonment. Ile is, I ant told, C:Jtely watched, in Switscrl.tri, by a Prusviln Colonel. • • Me King of Pitt:9min, who is at present the most violent and t'..e most alsrmcd 31ember of the holy Alliance, him insisted that • .:titans of Bask should disih'ss the two Prussian Profeaeora, ✓ 3 for Mice years have been employed in the I.lnivmity of that et,. The Council appear determined to refuse to comply with • &mend; but there is ever ) reason to believe that they will, r •rTrtheleri, be compelled to nerd their Prof away." rile official despatches of liottear.'s action with the l'ayalists, which our readers will find in another column, not materially vary from the account we gave yester day, from the Jamaica Papers. The rencontre took place at Keyes, a town about 110 miles N.E. of Lima. C N.. • star: seems to have ben desirous of avoiding an engage ment. but the advance of the Colombians was so rapid Oat the Spanish General appears to have been compelled, it, order to cover the retreat of his infantry, to hazard a tirrnish of cavalry. No material result on either side tulloweJ the conflict. CA N rat It A C AUCCCelled in en 'Sling his infantry to take up a position at Jauja. without losing any prisoners. 'rile Colombian despatches claim the victory in tenni absurdly hyperbolical, and calculated to lead us to doubt that the disasters of their enemy have bees as severe as they think proper to represent. CA N.• va,adac bears the character of being the best cavalry officer in the Spanish service, and we dare say, when we hear his moved of the fight, we shall find that it will be described as a masterly and successful manoeuvre to save his army from being forced into a precipitate battle. 'f he design of the Spanish Commanders appears to be, to draw 801 IVAR into the middle of Peru, and not to risk a general fight, till be shall be so situated, that, in case of de feat, he may be utterly destroyed before reinforcements can reach him. On the favourable disposition of the Pe ruvians he can place no reliance. It is evident that the first reverse would be his entire ruin. The skill and caution which have hitherto characterised his mi litary career, will not, however, we trust, desert him in his present arduous campa;gn. It is something at least that the Royalists have fled before him, and that, the first time be has drawn his sword in Peru, it has been victorious. The present age will certainly be recorded in history as one of the most remarkable periods in the progress of so ciety. It is not long since, when a cordon of French troops were posted on the Spanish frontier, and blood was uhl to flow in the Palace, that the King—the present worthy Fla niNar: o—busied himself in embroidering petticoats and other decorative under-garments for the blessed Virgin; and according to the last advices from Constantinople, as will appear by our Paper of yesterday, the Garai]) SPIGNIOIt, at a time when the Turkish dominions are Irocking with the convulsions of a revolution that threatens to annihilate his empire, issues an Edict to regulate the toilet of the Turkish women, whose graceful locks, it seems, are suffered to descend in ringlets below the Mus sulnian line of chastity, and whose under-petticoats show more of the ancle than is allowable by " the holy law." The Imperial Firman prohibits their wearing embroidered . firidgis, and indulging in gay colours : the Turkish belles appear not merely to have " lengthened their chain a link or two," but to be proceeding to extremes, which will soon set the KOUAN at defiance. " They have not feared," — the Finnan proclaims the shocking fact with becoming se riousness and alarm—" they have not feared to go to the public walks with extraordinary veils, which suffer their faces to be seen." Should this dire infection of vanity be suffered to spread, there is no prophecying where it may end; if eyes and noses are to be displayed, there is no say ing what may be shown next. "It is evident," says this sumptuary Edict, " that the Government must put a stop to such an irr eg ularity." And it proceeds accordingly to denounce the wearing of the aforesaid embroidered fe . and the wearing of veils so contrived as to show their faces. " Such conduct," says the G R•N D Simonton, " is equally contrary to the divine law and to my will." The Turkish Ruler, no doubt, ascribes the Greek superiority, and his own disasters, to the vengeance of the Prophet, drawn down upon the Government by these arts of dress—these overwrought labours of the toilet; and above all, to this longing after admiration, which makes the Turkish coquettes so adjust their veils as to suffer their checks to see day-light. That his war like efforts, therefore, may be no longer crippled by these over-ruling causes, it is made imperative on all husbands to take care that their wires do not appear abroad in a dress "irreconcilable to delicacy and honour, and unsuit able to Mussulman women." " You, my Cadi," says the Firman, " will transmit the present order to all the Imans, to be published in all quarters; and you will exert the utmost diligence to hinder the women from going out in a cortamc which our Imperial will has forbidden." This pious proceeding of the Ga•w Teal will, no doubt, arrest the progress of the Greek empire, which, we msy expect, will be reduced in proportion to the curtailment of " the embroidered ftWdg.;s'"Flie execution of the Patriarchs in cold blood r:quired this atonement: and peace may now be soon expected to reign throughout the whole domains of Islamism. ♦l'e give to-day rather a curious article from the Ame rican Papers, relative to the spread of the Orange system to the United States, and its natural consequences, public disorder and tumult. There appears to have been, on the great Orange anniversary, a regular &Wray, quite in the spirit of the proceedings that used annually to disgrace Ireland. The Orangemen matte preparations to outrage the feelings of their Catholic countrymen, and the latter resolved, in order to prevent the offensive celebration, to commence hostilities in the enemy's quarters. The ring leaders on each side, equally guilty of a breach of the peace, were convicted, and at the close of the Sessions attended to receive the judgment of the Court. The Recorder of New York made a sensible athlrtis to them on the ex treme absurdity and impropriety of their conduct, and trusting to the effect of his admonition, only bound them to be of good behaviour for twelve months. We have in this affair a striking instance of the inveteracy of the feel ings in which the party schisms of Irishmen have ori ginated. All these persons had left country most probably with an intention of never returning to it again ; they had taken up their residence for the rat of their lives, under a Government and among a peo ple who have nut the slightest connection with the events they wished efilinnively to commemorate. Yet we find the United Irishmen, on the one side, and the Purple Marksmen on the other, as ardent and uncompromising in their mutual hatred, as if the battle of the Boyne had been fought only last year. The American Courts have wisely determined to put an end to the mischief at once, by a mild but firm and impartial administration of justice against both the parties. These trans-At lan tie proceedings are nut wholly unworthy of observation at home. If we see these prin ciples of " political fanaticism," as the Recoyler of New York very properly termed it, operating in the United States with sueli force, where there arc no excitements bat " idie remembrances and antipathies," what must he the danger to which the peace of Ireland is neces sarily exposed front such a source ? Bow much stronger should be the measures of repression used to prevent the continuance of these party feuds in the country which gave them birth ? But the same course of even handed justice should be followed. If there are those iu Ireland who aim at unlawful objects (of which by the way we have as yet had no proof), let them be deprived of all pretext■ for appealing to the passions of their countrymen, by raising an outcry that the law is unfairly administered ; that whilst it crushes with unsparing severity the crimes of the Catholics, it passes over v.ith impunity the offences of the Orangemen. We have, in the present condition of that country, the best evidence, that a system of Government which extends to all the Kt sn's subjects the blessings of equal protection, without reference to the creed they profess or the %Mimi to which they may belong, is the only system calculated to ensure from them cheerful obedience to the laws, and an undisturbed state of public tranquillity. Never was an experiment more successful than that which the Marquis West est.!: If has made for the pacification and prosperity of Ireland. Let us not be deceived then by the exaggerated accounts we hear of the growth of party feelings among the mass of the population. There are perhaps some increased THE BRITISH PRESS. manifestations of warmth from the leaders; but we believe, notwithstanding all the efforts that are made to give a high colouring to the political appearances of the day, that there has been no period within the last fifty years, when disaffection or discontent had so few followers in Ireland as at the present moment. It is one of the consequences of this decay of party feeling, that those whose power and importance depend upon their pre valency should exert themselves with tenfold violence on each side of the question ; but let us not therefore, in spite of the restored peace of the country, be cheated into the opinion that the mass of the Irish people care any more for the agitators who arc at work amongst them, than the citizens of New York cared for the United Irish men and Purple Marksmen, who had their annivcr sary riot across the Atlantic. Let his %scares Go vernment persevere in the sound policy they have adopted towards Ireland, and its good effects will every day become more obvious. The connection between the two islands will become closer, the capital of Great Bri tain will put into activity the industry of Ireland, and we shall then find the natives of Erin as docile and well-disposed at home, as, with some occasional character istic ebullitions, they are abroad. We cannot too earnestly deprecate any return to that crooked and mischievous sys tem which would expose five-sixths of the population of Ireland to be fretted and exasperated into insurrection by the outrages of a handful of Orangemen and Purple Marks men, fcc the sake of enabling these persons to uphold pre judices and antipathies which the safety and welfare of the empire now require us to strive to forget. Dining the whole of yesterday, upon the Stock Exchange, the bears were labouring in their vocation to depress the Mexican funds. The intelligence of the defeat of Cantarac was diminished into a mere skirmish of advanced posts, though in some private letters we have seen it is called "a most splendid and brilliant opening of the campaign." It was then stated that the election of Victoria tothe presi ' dewy had ruined the whole Republic. The same opinion would, no doubt, have been maintained, had Bravo been the successful candidate. South American securities fell for a time in the middle of the day, but towards the close of the market recovered themselves altogether. Our own funds were throughout the day nearly steady ; they lost a little in the early part of the (lay, which they afterwards recovered. With respect to the alleged misunderstanding between the agent of Messrs. Goldschniidt and the Mexican Go vernment, we will only remark, that the great anxiety manifested in some quarters to give currency to the news, excited a suspicion that the parties to whom we allude were more anxious to make others believe what they saw than to show their own conviction of its accuracy. Let not the American bondholders forget the artifices that were practised about eighteen or twenty months ago, to beat down the Colombian securities. These artifices are by no means to be imputed to the respectable firms who have contracted fur these loans, or any of the eminent commer cial houses who have been original subscribers, but to a set of speculators, who, in nine cases out of ten, have net been actual bondholders to the amount of loot. sterling at any period of their lives. Tut Mr arc AN Loa xs.—Accoraing to some letters re ceived yesterday front Mexico, a misunderstanding has taken place between the Government of that State, and the Agent of Messrs. Goldsehmidt, who had refused for some reason to indorse the bills drawn by the Mexican Minister of Finance, upon his principals. In the exercise of his discretion, he sent forth the Notice we subjoin, to which the Government replied, by sending instructions to the Mexican Minister and Consul iu London, to withdraw from the hands of Messrs. Goldschmidt and Co. all the funds belongirg to them, and to place them in the hands of Messrs. Herring and Co. We understand, however, that all the bills of the Mexican Government on Messrs. Gohlschmidt have been regularly honoured; and it was rather believed, at the close of yesterday, that their Agent had exceeded his instructions. The following is a copy of the Notice issued by him in Mexico:— " INTELLIGENCE (OR NOTICE.) " No separate agreement having been entered into between the Supreme Government of this Republic, and Messrs. B. A. Gold. schmidt and Co. of London, of the nature treated of in Article 9, of the Contract for the Loan made in London, the 7th of February of this year, by the said house, and Don Francisco de Baja Alt goal, the method stipula:cd in the Articles 6,7, and 10, for the payment of the instalments of the said Loan, shall be rigorously conformed to, as the same may become due, and consequently Messrs. B. A. Goldschmidt and Co. are rut obliged (or bound) to accept, nor will they put their signature for that purpose, to any bill that may be, or may have been, drawn by bin Excellency the Minister of the Treasury, on the aforesaid house, and on account of the aforesaid instalments." Letters were yesterday received from the City of Mexico, dated September 18 : they ate not altogether of favourable complexion, as the following extract will show " After a contest for the Presidency, which was for some time conducted with much good humour on all sides, but which, towards the close, displayed much acrimony, Vittoria has been elected. This circumstance has given great satisfaction to all true patriot,: ; but I cannot conceal from you that there is yet a strong par.y wh are supposed to be favourable to Spanish interests, but who call themselves moderate Constitutionalists, and who have shown them. selves decidedly adverse to the election of Vittoria. They hive consequently dune evay thing in their power to cause a public dis turbance, in which they have failed; hut one unpleasant come. quence of the election is. the disgust with which it has filled an excellent and prudent Minister (.11latuani, who, with the 3liaisters of War and Justice, are retiring from office." The absurd reports about Iturbide were again current yesterday, and policies were done for 14,0001. It is rather singular, that the beliLf in his existence was so general, even in Mexico, at the beginning of Attimst, that the Go vernment was compelled to republish the account of his death, under the curious title of " Circumstantial Account of the Death of Iturbide, for those who do not believe it." The Gayela de Colombia of the 29th of August contains a long and very curious article headed Colombia and Peru. It is a laboured defence by the Vice-President Santander (who in the absence of Bolivar is charged with the execu tive functions) against the imputation of having neglected to send reinforceuunts to the Liberator, in Peru. It ap pears that though Bolivar has for nearly a twelvemonth been urgently demanding 3,000 men, 6,000, 12,000, nay, as many u 16,000, yet only a few hundreds have from time to time been sent: nor would the Colombian Congress pro bably ever have forwarded him any imisortant aid, had it not thought itself safe in the protection of that policy whieb was avowed by the Governments of this country, and of the United States. We have received Gibraltar Papers to the 26th ult. but their contents are not very important. Some very until voutablet weather had b • n experienced about the 19th, which had done considerable damage to the shipping at Girgenti and the neighbourhood, consisting chiefly of Spa nish and Dutch vessels. It was reported that an Algerine corsair was in the Straits cruising a4aiust the Spanish flag, and that it had made several captures. Business was very dull at Gibraltar, and there was a glut in the market of almotA all kinds of manufactures. The neighbourhood was rather unquiet, and considerable bands of discarded soldiers infested many of the roads of Andalusia. We hear, from good authority, that the Members for the counties of Sutfolk and Norfolk are arrived in London, for the purpose of conferring with the Huard of Trade on the subject of the late London ktfturns of Barley ; and it is said that the subject is already before the Attorney-Ge neral. As a specimen of the frauds which have been practised, we need only state one of the acts by which the average of the sixth week in the London market was made 25,79'2 quarters, at 46a. sd. A return was made of 2,400 quarters bought of Ford and Co., at .19s. Messrs. Ford and Co. have made an affidavit that they have sold no Bar ley this season, and have bought only 1,000 quarters at 495. But, in spite of these proceedings, it is confidently believed, the Ports will not open.—Bary Pus/. Great supplies of timber have been received at Plv mouth, and indeed at all the yards, in the course of tile last summer. Africa, Dalmatia, America, &c., have fur nished their several supplies, and thus the consumption of British timber is considerably and wisely lessened. A company has just been funned, whose object is to erect a regular communication between London and Great Yannouth, by means of steam vessels, of from 5450 to 300 tuns burthen. FASHIONABLE I NTELLIGEH CB. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford left town yesterday for Brighton. Earl Spencer arrived yesterday evening at his house in St. James's Place, front Hr.

R.N. ; Mrs. and the Misses Carpenter; Pane, Lag. and the Misses Pearse, for Yorkshire. Yesterday the Duke of York, the Duke of Sussex, and the Princess Sophia, visited the Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Augusta. The Princess Augusta took an airing in her carriage yes terday, and paid a visit to the Duchess of Kent at Kensing ton Palace. The inquiries after the state of the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday were very numerous. The answer given was, that her Royal Highness was much better. Yesterday morning the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lady Sarah Robinson and family, arrived at their resi dence in Downing-street, from the scat of Earl Verulam, at Gorhambury, and left town about five o'clock for their residence at Beckenham. . Mr. T. Moore, the poet, was among the Wilt/hire fa shionable, who attended the Devizes Assembly last week. It is said that the proprietor of the Haymarket Theatre means soon to open his house again with a respectable corps of performers, under the protection of the Lord Cham berlain. We understand the proprietors of the Morama are about to open it at Liverpool and Manchester, where suitable buildings are erecting at great expense, and to which places the pictures are removal. It is expected to open in both towns the first week in December. _ A Mechanics' Institute is forming at Ipswich. From what is very currently reported, it seems to be al most beyond doubt that an attempt will be made to effect a charge in the representation for Northumberland at the next erection.—Newcartle Chronicle. We have authority (says the Dublin Freeman's Journal) from Mr. Henry Grattan to state, that it is his intention to offer himself as a candidate, at the next general election, for the city of Dublin; and he has though: it advisable to make this early intimation, in consequence of an active and secret canvas now going forward. which might be pr.judi cial to his interests, it' his friends were not apprised of his determination. The Rev. Charles Woulfe was educated by the Rev. Mr. Richards, at Hyde Abbey School, Winchester, where at fourteen years old, he wrote a Prize Poem on the Death of Abel, after the model of the prose German writer, Gessner • he thence was removed to the Dublin University, where, for r the first time, the lines of General Sir John Moore (shortly after) appeared, and of which he was by I all considered the author ' • lie was then ordained, and placed in the curacy of Castle Caulfield, in Armagh Diocess, but from his delicacy and constant application to the duties of his parish, he contracted a decline, and died about two years back. He preached a remarkably excel • lent sermon, which we believe is now in the hands of a gentleman in the south of Ireland. It was intended by some friend to publish this little production for his benefit, after he was from ill health obliged to resign his curacy, but his death arrested their good intentions.—Cork Southrt is Rep,,rice. blesses. Cusstai:as AND Co.—A general meeting of the creditors of Nlessrs. Chambers and Son was yesterday held at No. 160, New Bond-street, for the purpose of in specting a statement of their affairs, and to determine upon what measures should be pursued, in order to ren der the assets available, in the most expeditious and eco nomical manner, to liquidate the claims now outstanding upon the partnership. A wish was expressed that the meeting should be of a private nature, as it related solely to the interests of the creditors; we therefore abstain from furnishing any particulars. It was stated some days back that the Recorder would make his Report in the course of this week, or very early in the next. It is now understood that the Privy Council is to be summoned to meet at Carlton House on Saturday next, when the King will come to town for the purpose of receiving the Report of both the September and October Sessions. The Grand Duke of Tuscany has never signed a death warrant since he came upon the throne. At the sale of a Clergyman's effects, lately deceased, in an adjoining county, his library was sold for 31., and the liquors in his cellar for 381 f. 155.! It is said that Mr. M'Adani's plan of road-making, to be effectual, should have the upper coat of material laid full ten inches deep. In streets of much traffic this should he still more ; instead of which, the stones are laid so thin in some places, as scarcely to conceal the mud and rubbish they are bedded in. The King of Prussia has applied to the same Gas Com pany which has engaged to light Devouport to light Berlin with gas. The town of D -vonpert is about to be lighted with gas. The new Victualling-office reservoir, to be constructed on the hill near the battery at Stonehouse Point, is to con tain 12,000 tons of water, fur the use of the shipping at Plymouth. It is intended to establish a county hospital at Bury. CORPORATION or Heaerono.—At a meeting of our Corporation, on Tuesday last, the freedom of the city was sold to Mr. Pritchard, tailor, of Elgiu-street, and Mr. Win ter, better known as Spring, the Champion, for 33/. 10s. SI each. Petitions were presented from Walter Wilkins, Esq. Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq. of Downton Castle, and Mr. Benjamin Lloyd, an old and respectable trades man of the city, in the usual mauneri to purchase their freedom ; but to the shame and disgrace of the members composing the majority of the meeting, they were rejected ; Mr. Wilkins is the respectable member for the county of Radnor, and Mr. Knight, the President of the Royal Horticultural Society of London ; and we should have thought their rank and respectability would have entit'ed them to a favourable consideration with this sapient body. But it seems the person who takes the lead at these meet ings, imagined that the above gentlemen were disposed to support the independent candidates for the representation of the city. All the rsw members of this corporation have, it seems, been chosen by the gentleman alluded to ; and of course they are entirely subservient to, and at the will of their halt. ('an we, therefore, be surprised at their rejecting Mr. Wilkins, Mr. Knight, and Mr. Lloyd, stud admitting Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Winter? If the freemen of Hereford du not bestir themselves, it is evident that the representation of this city will eventually become as reveetable and independent as that of Penryn, Gatton, or Old Sarum ; as we find that the leading member of the corporate body has only to make known his sovereign will, to cominand, at all times, as great a majority as that which on Tuesday last submittedl to his dictum.—Herejiml In dependent.
