Tlie gracious carriage which has distinguished Cu AELES Y. tawards all parties since Lis accession, has render,:d him decidedly the most popular Sovereign who ever sat on the Itiktch throne. The apprehensions and suspicions of those who dreaded his reign arc rapidly ceasing. If there be any who disapproveof the Kt NG'S conduct, it is a certain kn st of periani who hoped exclusivsly to enjoy his favour. ',lle marked attention which his MAJESTY has bestowed en several members of the Opposition has even alarmed the t dr9it. Our Correspondent sends us the following STY:Jae:CS, illustrative of go: Ktrufs feelings t "PARIS, OCT. 4. * At. OaSiturday, after the appearance of M. PR CHATEAU 1 ELAND'S pamphlet, he had an a• adience of the KING, Uzi', lasted above an hour. Yesterday (Sunday) the .: i ls see of his MAJESTY WaR very brilliantly as well as nu gnorous4 attendcd. A great many Members of the Op ,position of both Chambers were present. The KING ad # •sirzssed himself in the most affable manner to M. ROYER COLLARD, and continued talking with him for some mi .'s:Lt.:a. When he was gone, the Kt xc asked :11. nz TA 1.1.EY.• '' risen who the Deputy was thr.t he had been conversing ar . ..:la ? ` Sire; said M. nr TALLEYRAND, 'it WAS M. P.orrn Ca tr.a.cn.' ' Why did you not tell me sooner,' • re;.-Jiced hiJ MAJESTY, ' that I might hare given him a ' • --- Letter reception' (je trira:i fiat ~n Dien mcileur ac euril)• I thought; replied M. ..t TaLLEYSIAND, 'that your MAYESTY had recollected. him ; but will your MA-. ifarY permit me to make kr.own by letter the obliging words you have spoken to me respecting him ?' Yes, certainly,' said the Ktso ; write to him what I have said, and express the sentiments of esteem and affection I feel towards him' (Oai arks, eerier lei ee que je ?lens de roes dire d quake y respression des sentiments destine: et croffictisn qxe j ai pour lei). " Whatever may have been said to the contrary, I can assure you that M. Decazz met with a reception equal!). -favourable. Nothing can exceed the popularity of the Ktna and the Dattrut x. Tbc removal of M. de Vit.te is confidently expected. Perhaps no one act has contri buted more generally to increase the Ktso's popularity than the happy reply he made to General EXCELKANS:— ' General, I forget all that has passed. The only thing that I wish to remember is, that when you received from Bonaparte an order to pursue me, you Exec' on a different road to that which I pursued.— end L.s coadjutors. The last !cuts frdtn Madrid state, that the police were snaking arrests every hour, i and that she royslist volunteers are more turbulent and I persecuting than ever. A royal decree has been istued against seditious end satirical writings ; the offenders are to be imprisoned at the discretion of the Crown. One ar tick of the decree extends this punishment to "all persons who purchase, distribute, copy, read, or hear read, any such productions, without giving information to the police ; and to every shopkeeper, druggist, chemist, confectioner, or others, whir shall envelope the articles of their trade in any printed or manuscript copy of the Session of the Cortes, or of the journals or pamphlets of that odious period." The rabble of Madrid, who have, since the restoration of the absolute monarchy; been quite violent in their zeal against the negro:, have latterly begun to murmur against i the Government. During the constitutional system, and for a short time afterwards, they were fed by the monks gratuitously, in order to purchase their services, and they were accordingly the loudest in their outcries of jcy at the execution of the unfortunate Rano ; but now that the supply of provisions is withheld, these feel:ngs are changed, and they are ready to vent their indignation against the priests. It is hardly to be.conceived by those who know not the fact, what an important body is the rabble of the Sitanish capital to those who have political projects to ac e Anplish. Like the Lazzoroni of Naples they constitute au overawing power, without whose consent no change can be made. All the foundations of society are uprooted in that miserable kingdom, and " chaos is come again." This frightful picture, however, is, we fear, too faithful a specimen of the discipline, i•y means of which it is in tended by the Northern Allies to perpetuate the empire of " legitimacy," and to secure " the conservation of social order." The French Government, we suspect, will, crc long, repent their interference; and every honest man must wish that they may. The conduct of France towards Spain has been a tissue of fraud from the very first. And what has she gained by sending her armies into that kingdom ? What has that kingdom itself gained by her military assistance ? Look at the finances of Spain : her Exchequer is beggared ! Where are gone the commerce, the capital, the credit of her merchants? Where the spirit, skill, and industry of her people? ii - here are the resources to be found from which she can recruit her revenue? The guilty effusion of the blood of her best subjects will assuredly be avenged ere long upon the per. Edious FzaDzxaxD. Already all the streams of public wealth, and all the sources of public welfare, arc annihi lated. If CllAttLtS X. would show himself sincere in his attachment to the principles of rational liberty, let him evithdraw the French troops from Spain, and thus arrest the progress of a despotism as sanguinary and vindictive as ever scourged the human race. The interests of mankind impose it upon him as a duty: by adopting this line of policy he would earn for himself a character that would be worth wearing; he would give to the throne of the Bone Sows the stability of a rock, by giving to it the affections of his people, and the confidence of enlightened Europe. The Journal des Delats of Monday corroborates the intelligence of the defeat of the Turks at Samos. It seems too true that the gallant CANAIIIS has fallen the victim of his heroism. The loss of the Infidels amounted to 94 vessels of all descriptions, including the flag ship of the CAPITA'S PACTIA. There must be an end to all hope of subduing a people, who, in order to eiNct the destruction of their enemies, do not hesitate to destroy themselves. In such a state of things, most truly may it be said, that— " gvary bondman in his own hand bears • Tbs power to shorter: his c:ptlyity." _ _ - . The cause of the Greeks is the cause of Christianity and civilizttion against imposture and barbarism. It is holy in the eyts of every believer who looks on the Cross as the sign of his redemption. We sympathise, therefore, with the fortune of the Greeks. We exult in their suc cesses, and we are dejected at their disasters. All that can be reclaimed of their fine country from the brutal yoke of the Alshometans, is a positive addition to the general mass of human happiness, and a sup towards the extirpation of the most benumbing fanaticism that ever impcdcd the pro. gress of improvement. (EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) Vanier, Sam'. 15. The following are the details of the affair of Santos, which or. turfed on the 19th and MIN August : " Ten thousand Turks disembarked at Samos on the 12th Aug.. ' and were destroyed by the Creeks. They could not be relieved in sufelent titre by the Captten Pacha. lle found himself attacked at that moment by the Greek squadrons, which employed every means of destruction in their power. The hauls ended with the loss of the:: fire ships on the pint of the Greeks, but not till afta they had produced the effects expected from them. They also lost three armed brigs, and, what was fa them more lamentable, the immortal CAW Ailts, who had already achieved the glory of destroy. ing two Capitan Pachat. or Grand Admirals. " The loss of the Turks has been an Admiral's ship, com manded by Kw: ru, the Capitan Pacha, who was blown out of the water by the ef.reets of a fire.ship, commanded by CAVARZS. The infidels had the mortif.ation of seeing destroyed before their eyes, 94 frigates, corvettes, brigs, and fire.ships, burnt and sunk, wrecked or taken. Such Is the end of the expedition sent from Constamir.ople, and the same fate awaits the Egyptian fleet, if it trusts itself from Rhodes. Ic another column we give a document which will more explei4ively describe the state of affairs in Spain than any tornincntwy we could write. A few days ago we alluded to ac cfgeial order issued by the new Minister of Police, Cob z auts, fcr the extermination of the Constitutionalist. ltav Correspondent might be supposed to have given the aiocurnsat a colouring of his own. Our readers may now judge for thorns:lves, whether we exaggerated its purport. Coveasza is a fu:inat:s and sanguinary Servile, and we have uo doubt that when he enjoins his agents to eater savaate the Constitutionalism he fully intends that they should carry Lis order into execution. During the wildest penal of the reign of terror in France, no instrument of a sn ore atrocious 6.112Cet was sent forth from any of the revolutionary bales; and in thawing the comparison we caanot help observing, that the Jacobins had an alarm ing invasion to !lead in excuse for their enormities, whde the wretches of the Faith in Spain have no ter_ ram to alarm them. exereialng their power as they do under the immediate protelion of a foreign army. Gorr ?A LES &Chastely threatens with death every man who shall deviate a single La: 1: om the path which he prescribes !

He was, without doubt, a man of considerable address and capacity. In a public document written by Bottvan, after the overthrow of the ephemeral throne of illesico, the Colombian Liberator drew a pa rallel between the Ex-E:-.:poror and BONArAnTz. These were desarlbed as the two mast extraordinary men of their age. Batt van was led to class them together, from the importance which he naturally enough ascribed to his own country; for certalnly, in the eyes of posterity, BONAPAIITZ and Irons:as will occupy a widely different space.

It would certainly be doing injustice to the public here to ascribe the interest it takes in great political events to regard for its mercan tile interest only, and to accuse it of indifference to all everts which do rot immediately affect it. If the late change in the head of the French monarchy may be considered is this point of view. yet the sympathy it shews at this moment in the unnappy fate of the Ex. Empcler, IT tee cennot well be explained, except from the personal regard which that remarkable man inspired during his visit here Las:Spring. Persons who at that time me: with him in company, arc quite at a less to explain the rashness of his last en terprise, beemse, in private intercourse, he showed so renunkable a degree of understanding and prudence, that when the newspapers had placed the object of his voyage beyond all doubt, they could not btlp being persuaded, that he would not commence the csecti• tion of his extensive preitcts without a probable hope of success. He had given us here to understand, that the lower classes of the people and the clergy were sincerely attached to him; and though he by no means explained his views, he had excited such a preen. judice in his favour, that his traraient appearance wits sutlici:i;t to tasks people ascribe to him plans of the greatest importance, and to take it ter granted, that toe first steps, at least, would not be eithote success. The death of Loris XVIII. more titan any other event, reca:s to the recollection of our politicians the remarkable epoch about nine years ago. -hen the conclusion of the Holy Alliance laid the foun. dation o: the present grand system of European policy. At that time people 'were pretty generally persuaded that the dura tion et the compact depended on the characters of rho august con. tracting parties, because it was an expression of their elevated sen timents, and the result of a diplomatic negotiation. We then ob served that it evidently escaped the notice of the crowd, astoilisheti at the veatness of the object, that it prir.ciple true in itsne under whatever form it may have been called forth into practical politics, always carries in itself the pledge of its duration, as on the other hand all treaties dictated merely by the necessity of the niornent have within them the seeds of their dissolution. Of this truth, which is placed beyond doubt by theory, sad the experience of ages, we have had again an opportunity of cony:nein ourselves, tor, since that remarkable penod of the Holy Alliance, a complication of relations took place, which the momentary interests of the several states united by the Alliance, scented to have so involved, thst nothing but a means almost unknown in ancient dipletnacy, vie, the strictest injunction of the moral law, that is to say, an absolute disregard of all 'clash motives, could give the parties concerned sutiicient energy to neglect all their interests, and make them subordinate to the gene. rat objects of the Alliance. But even these actual evidences of un. shaken consistency...the persevering adherence to this principle, were not yet sufficient to convince all the seet7qCS, and they always returned to their original assertion, that the present SVllture of the great Cabinets could nut be permanent, because it entirely depended on the personal character of us august founders that consequently the cattle:, resting on its foundation must fall to ruin as soon as one of its supporters should submit to the common lot of mortality. This time is now come, and every thing indicates that incredulliy still be again put to shame. The death in question is, indeed, too recent for any one to pretend to calculate beforehand with ma. them:ideal certainty, an its possible consequences. But as far as a fact which passes before our eyes can authorise analogous con ' elusions, there is no reason to apprehend any shock to the general ' system from that melancholy event. WI allude to the opinion, already expressed, in fact, by the majority of our mercantile world, which, as matters row stand, is of considerable weight. All our spa. culators who were in expectation of a decline in the fords have b_en deceived, and immediately on the arrival of the news, an causer dinary activity was observed: the demand exceeded the supply, and funds of every description immediately rose. It is reinark. able that at the samr moment the former scarcity of money hes suddenly coastal ; most transactions are done for ready cash, and discount has fallea to Si percent. Though the French funds, since the r:.oper.ing of the Exchange, ate noted r• her lower than private accounts had stated them, it seems certain that the change of the Monarch will cause no change of system in the administration of France, and the public funds continue to rise in our market. FASMONABLP INITLLIGEACE. It is now a considerable time since we adverted to she ruinous policy of the Dutch Government, in laying on a duty of 45 per cent. of their own valuation on all British goods imported into Batavia and their other ports to the eastward of the Cape, and this, too, in the very teeth of their own treaty, by which it was stipulated, that the ships of the respective nations should reciprocally be admitted to each other's colonies on terms of mutual accommodation. The recent advice* from Java confirm the fears we ex pressed as to the operation of this measure on our coin. !tierce in that quarter. As we foresaw, ships have found it impossible to land their cargoes, though the markets would otherwise have been rather favourable. This measure of the Dutch Government, though the source of inconvenience to us, in the first instance, must, like most other very cun ning schemes, redound to their own disadvantage in the long run, as its obvious and necessary tendency must be, to make our new and rising colony of Sincapore the great entrepot of commerce in the eastern Archipelago, as Euro pean goods will be brought there in English bottoms, and , smuggled thence by the Nlai!.ya to Java, an island so eaten sive, that the whole fleet of his Netherlatidic N/AILSTIC could not protect it, or insure the collection of the duties ; so that, in fact, irstead of receiving 16 per cent. ad valorem, as they used to do, they will not receive one single farthing of commercial revenue. DOPER, Ocr. r. Yesterday the Right Hon. the Earl of Liverpool held a Harbour Sessions in the Council Hous:, when his Lord ship's cousin, Robert Henry Jenkinson, k.eq. Deputy Go vernor if Dover Castle, and Sir John Wm. Head Brydges, lint. M.P. took their seats as Members of the Board. Arrived last evening from Calais, the Due du Boterdeaux steam vessel, bringing Lady Spencer, and Lady Dawson; and the Sovereign steam vessel from Boulogne, with the Earl of Westmoreland, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery Mait land, and Mrs. Biaekall. Arrived this evening at 'Wright's Hotel, the Marchioness of Salisbury and Lady Elizabeth Nlouck, from Calais. by tht. Medusa, and the Countess de Rolle, by the Monarch. This morning two privates of the 17th lancers, of the names of Briscoe and Henderson, who had deserted from Deal Barracks, were apprehended at the Cross Keys ale house here, on a capital charge of felony, in having entered the Barrack-room of Captain Scott, an officer of the 17th, stolen various articles of plate, wearing apparel, and a pair of pistols. They had sold part of the property in this town, particularly the pistols, which WIT said to be worth CO!., for 11. At the time of their appreherston they were apparelled in the clothes of Captain Scott, and had so dis figured themselves, by cutting off their whiskers and mus tachios, that the sergeant who was sent after them was a quarter of an bout in their company before he recognised them. One of them is said to have been a commissioned officer, and is highly respectably connected. They were both sent to Deal gaol. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, the Duke of Clarence, accompanied by Captain Fez, left his residence at Bushy, for Portsmouth. The Duchess of Clarence and the Duke of Meiningen came to town yesterday afternoon from Busby. Yesterday the Duchess of Kent entertainca the Duchess of Clarence and the Duke of Aleiningen to dinner, at her apartments at the King's Palace, Kensington. In the evening the Royal Duchesses, accompanied by the Duke of Aleinineen and' the Princes. Fecdore, honoured Covet::- garden Theatre with their presence, for the first time this season. The Duke of Rutland has the Duke of York, and a dis tinguished party of visitors, M his seat, Clieveley Park. Mr. Secretary Peel left town yesterday morning for Ringwood, the seat of Mr. Baring, on a shooting excursion for two or three days. The Right Hon. Stratford Canning arrived on Monday at Gieillon's gotta, Albemarle -street, from a short tour In the Netherlands, and not from St. Petersburgh, whi ther he has been sent by some of our sagacious contempo raries, before the time when his presence for the special purposes on which, as we hear, he is to be employed there is required. CIIELTEN11•111, SILFT. s.—The visitors have been very changeable lately, as to arrivals and departures. The ar rivals have been numerous since Saturday at the Imperial Hotel and Boarding-house, the Plough Hotel, and Fisher's Boarding-house and Hotel. The weather has been very 1 unfavourable lately, so much so that the banis attending at the King's Old Veil and the Montpelier Spa have but rarely been able to play. Mr. Kean commenced an engagement of eight nights at the Cork Theatre, on Thursday, with Richard the Third. The Southern Reporter says—" Remembering how at tractive the announcement of this eminent performer in that character had proved but a year before, we felt sur prised and pained, on entering the house, at seeing it almost deserted." TOIQUAIi.—The sheltered situation of Torquay with its new Episcopal Chapel and elegant ball-mom, combine to make at a place of great attraction, and we understand the rapidity with which the lodgings are already filling, give a fair prospect of gaiety sod goodly company during the winter season. Lords Clancurry and Kilcoursie, the Hon. Hely Hutchinson, the Dean of Bristol, with many others of rank and fashion are among the recent arrivals. On Saturday, the wind blowing a heavy gale, considerable apprehensions were felt by the inhabitants of this place for the safety of an old fisherman and his son, a boy of eleven years old, who were known to hare gone to sea in a small boat before the hurricane began, but had not returned. They were at length seen at anchor in Midport Bay, in a most perilous situation, with the sea continually running over them. A humane attempt to rescue them was made In a pleasure boat, but failed. Mr. Robert Slade then, with touch difficulty, got oft: a trawl, and happily suc ceeded in dragging the sufferers on board, the boy without injury, but the old man very much exhausted. During the late war, wlien the continent was forbidden to English travellers, Lady Oxford took a passage in his Majesty's ship Redwing, from Alinorca to Sanlinia. Sitting ene day tired of the ocean anti sky around her, she asked Mr. Campbell, the master, to lend her a bock. Ile descended to his cabin and brought her Ladyship asplendid edition of Paradise Lost, with plates. The subject was too grave for Lady Oxford. " Have yOll no lighter read ing than this, Mr. Campbell," said Lsdy Oxford. " Oh, yes," was the reply, anti Milton was soon subs:in:tea by Roderick Random, with which her Ladyship seemed pleased. " Why :lid you offer Milton," said Sir John Sinclair. " Because," said Campbell," she and her daugh ters are as lovely and tempting as so many Eves—and I wished them just to see how easily men could lose a world through such women, before they go ashore, that they may work no mischief to the old King of Sardinia." The Emperor of Austria must have had similar feelings to the worthy master of the Redwing and ingenious illustrator of the Poems of Ossian, when be forbade Lady Word his territories. Festeasie or Da. Darts.—Yesterday, at two o'clock, the remains of the late Dt. Davis were removed from his own house, at Clapham, to the place of interment, in the family vault under the New Church at Kennington. Be sides a number of private friends and relatives, the funeral was attended by moat of the leading Gentlemen connected with the Royal Universal Infirmary for Children, of which Dr. Davis was the founder. The hearse was drawn by six horses, followed by ten mourning cinches with four horses each: besides these we observeil a number of private car riages belonging to Gentlemen, the personal friends of the deceased, or others who deemed this last token of respect it tribute due to I:ia numerous virtues. Among ethers we observed the carriages of the Lord Mayor elect, Alder.nan Lucas, Mr. Skinner Turner, Dr. Welshman, &c. &c. &c. Distressing as the death of such a man would have been at any time, it . was most emphatically so at the oreeent fro tne.nt, when the Institution over which he hid watched with such care, and which by the most unremitting assi duity and labour he had finally placed upon a permanent fentne, was about to be made available to the poor, whose sincere friend he had ever shown himself.
