TnE, LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, November 6, [Tut TimEs.] The late Cortes have: sent forth a defence of their conduct with what, the French call justifi catory pieces , or doCuments,' the whole of which .be found in this day's journal.. (See T a a Sul; of this. day.) The narrative, with its autho rities, is an interesting production. The chief nference. which We should draw from it is, .that the Cortes has consisted• of- individnals too scru pulous of forms, and possessing too little of the spirit of gallant daring, to act with success in re volutionary times. They say they have been betrayed by the Government, that is, by the Ministers whom themselves had sanctioned. We believe their tale ; but we cannot help recalling to mind the adage that Et : wise king never chose, foolish ministers ; and inversely, we should sus pect that foolish or corrupt ministers are some proof of imbecility in those .wbo had the ap pointment otthem. Cadiz, theti, 'has evidently been given up by treachery : so 'much less honour rill have been reaped by the invader ; and the success of the cause, as we always maintained, has been frustrated for the present by the knavery and , incompetence of those to whom it Was intrusted. [MORNING cnnoNici.E.l The Constitutionnel of Sunday and Monday contains some observations on the conduct of the English Government of lute years, and the re. Winn in which it stands with respect to the Con tinent of Europe, which are deserving of some attention. We believe rthe views taken in this article are very general on the Continent. The great Powers do England the honour of inviting her to their Councils, but this, it would appear, is rather from courtesy now than from the neces sity of paying any regard to her opinion. They are not to be deceived by Mr. Canning's flourish ing about the mighty masses. As the Eng ligh Government, ever since the ilanmerian Family were freed from a Pretender to the Throne, has been hostile to liberty at home and abroad, there would be no great cause for re gretting that successive Administrations have, by their mad and profligate expenditure, put it out of its power to interfere with the Continent, as we may be sure 'that it would never interfere to do good were the nation not exposed to suffer at home from their folly. It is by no means gra tifying to reflect that the resources of the country have bean wasted in raising certain powers to a state which places it in a great measure at their mercy. in what a different situation would England now be if she had not embarked in the war against the French Revolution, and 4011.. ERRUtOppOSed herSeif to popular rights ? - rNEW Ttsics.j Yesterday was - kept as a close Holiday at the Bank and Stock Exchange, and, according to the usual c;Abtuip, the-gates of the Royal Exchange were not, thrown open until noon. Some pri- Vitte husineh, was , done in Consols• at the p Os ceding day's prices, and also in Spanish Bonds tit at 284 to `2Bf, but the chief Brokers were not pre-' sent, and business transacted extremely limited. The parties who have brought out the Loan to the Knights of Malta continue to inundate the City jwith ,representations of the political weight infidence of that Order, We,have known etVeral it dividuols belooging to it highly respect- able men ; but as , a Corporate Body they are perfeotly extinct; and we, do not conceive that there is the slightest chance of their re-establish incnt.—lt strikes us , with astonishment, that schemes are daily put forth to. convey Blittsh Capital out of the country to fo reigning' of all countries ~ and complexions, nu man or body of men has had patriotism enough to propose a scheme for the improve. meat of lreland by means of British Capital.— StqOy we are' more concerned in the welfare of t!Ui, Irish fellow-subjects. It is uniformly at tested, that there is a great field in that country for the e mployment of capital, and that it might be employed very advantageously there. Surely we are more concerned in promoting the benefit of the people of Ireland than in promoting the wild unintelligible schemes of a Cacique of Poyais, or 4 Commander of the Order of St. John. [MORNING, fILRALD.] The last accounts at Valparaiso, from Lima, were, that an expeditioe of 5,000 men had sailed far the Intermedios. The Royalists had aban doned the attack , on Lima, as the Patriots bad, been reinforced by 3,000 of Bolivar's troops. — &jiver was daily expected to arrive at Callao with some more men, which would make the Pa triot force at Lima and Callao strong enough to sustain any attack. The Royalist forces in tipper Porn were said to amount in all to 1'2,000 .4,14. —the inert o r t h em with Cantarac, at Xauxa, slaty maw; in the interior from Lima—the re mainder under the command. of lialdev., near Arequipa. The Peruvian squadron had com menced another blockade from 1 6 2 deg. S. to c2c2 Or,. 4 20 ie. S. on the 9th May, under the com mand of Adm. Guys. ft was not generally sup posed that the Patriot expedition would succeed, as tin measures were not, conducted by any kind of system. The Government of Chili is in a very destitute state. Freyre had become un popular, and was about to resign his Director-. ship. A new Beglamanto had appeared, which cl.aesed the duties and mode of doing business. The Members for Congress had been elected, and were soon to meet. It was thought they would change the measures entirely. 'I he Council had given O'Higgins leave to quit the country — his party stilt very strong. A sloop of war and sot»fit transports bad Sailed for Lima, to bring away the Chili troops, who were said to be much dissatisfied with the Peruvian service. There was a rePort that San Martin was about to place himself at the head of some followers of Men doza—but little confidence Was placed in it. ~__.,..~v, [MORNING - POSII At a late hour last night we received Bayonne Papers to the 20th ult. Their contents are of considerable interest. They confirm what the Etoile and Quolidienne had already asserted, and represent the party of Ballasteros as rapidly gaining ground in Andalusia. His army is said to consist of nine thousand men, and to act un der his immediate command. This is rather at variance with former accounts, but it is far from improbable : for it is not to be supposed that he would submit quietly to the disgrace of having his name erased from the list of Spanish Gene rals, and if he was not too narrowly watched or too closely confined to make his escape, there is little doubt of his preferring the feeble chance of success which resistance would give to the certainty of ruin which must he consequent on patient acquiescence in the triumph of despotism. It is not to be expected, however, that he should be able to effect any thing towards the redemp tion of Constitutional freedom. Even if, as it is reported, he should make the Sierra Morena the centre of his operations, and should succeed in maintaining himself amongst the fastnesses of that extensive► chain of rnoun• tains, no lasting benefit could be derived from a partial struggle. The time is unfortunately past when Ballasteros held in his hands the li berties of his country. He might have rescued them once, by remaining faithful to the cause of which he had been for years the sworn and one of the most distinguished defenders. — That cause he abandoned, if he did not betray it ; and though it might be, comparatively, but for a moment, it was the moment which de cides the fate of empires, and which no after re pentance or after exertions can redeem. A list will be found in the following extracts, of the new Ambassadors sent by King Ferdinand to the various European States. It is remarkable that there is no appointment for England : is it meant by this omission to imply that the situation is al ready filled, and to confirm Admiral Jabat in its possession ? EBItITISH PREMI The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday were anticipated in our columns of yesterday, and there is since little of any foreign interest. By accounts from Frankfort to the 28th of October, it appears that, notwithstanding the meeting of the two Emperors at Czernowitz, there is strong jealousy on the part of Austria, roused by the ambitious designs of the Northern Au. tocrat on central Europe, and his artful inter. ference in the affairs of Spain ; Pozzo di Borgo's mission seems to have created it, and awakened the suspicions of the Atistrian Emperor. Nessel rode and Tatischeff's conferences with old Met ternich, at Lemberg, clearly stew: that Alex ander's journey was of a stronger political nature than he wished it to appear. Francis 1s said to have arrived at Czernowitz. The discussion of all subjects that could be productive of disunion with Russia will be left to subsequent arrange ment between the two Courts. Thus any meet ing between these potentates appears to be far frorn sincere, and only the hollow league of ambi tion that always characterizes despots in the midst of apparent utility. Suspicion and jealousy inter sent., and pave the way for future contention. It is ‘% ell for the repose and surviving freedom of Europe it is so. Their disunion is its best assur ance and protection. Were they strictly united in feeling and principle, they would crush with their armed strength the liberties of half the civilized world-. The last accounts from Spainov Melt will be found in the following letter from Bayonne, speak any thing but favourably of the state of the coun try, as concerns the idolized" Ferdinand. The force of Bullasteros, it is said, every day increas ed, and amounted tat least to 000 0 men ; they showed the most determined opposition to the late reforming measures of Ferdinand's Government, and destroyed the triumphal arches by which the tyrant was to pass on the road to the capital.— Ballesteros, it is- added, was about to make the Sierra Morena the centre of his operations ; there, if he can obtain supplies for his army by turning a part of his forces' into Guerillas, he may , long resist any troops sent against him, and be a rally ing point for all the disaffected through Spain. WINCICEPITER, Nov. T.—The weather during the whole of Thursday 'night was tempestuous' beyond description. Snow and rain fell in torrents, and the wind blew a perfect hurricane. the nelghb'Ourhood of Okford, its effects have been particu. .larly felt; trees haVe been torn up by the roots, in Bagley Wood and other pl aces ; and the waters are higher than ever remembered. The Worcester Mail was overturned soon after leavinOxford, by the violence of the gale: The O xford coach, which arrived here to-day, came through Ilighclere, it being unsafe to take the• Newbury • road, in . conseqUence of the height of the waters. None of the Bath coaches had arrived at Oxford this morning ; and the Cambridge coach did not go out, as some of the bridges on the road are said to be blown up., DRRADFUL ars.—Yesterday morning, about 'six o'clock, the neighbourhood or St. George's in ,the East was thrown into a state of the greatest alarm ; a fire was discovered to have burst forth in the oakum shop of the work-house of Saint George's, which raged with such fury, notwith standing the heavy rain, that in less than an hour the entire premises became a prey to the devouring element. The prompt arrival of the engines suc ceeded in preventing the mischief spreading. It is with regret we add, that several lives have been lost, as many as seven mentioned. The confusion was very great; the unfortunate inmates were seen running in every direction, imploring aid ; the scene was distressing to the greatest degree.— About half-past nine o'clock last night a fire broke out at a carpenter's shop in Bennet-street, Stamford-street, Black _ friars-road, which did con. siderable damage, but did not extend beyond the premises. An attempt to escape out of Newgate was dis covered on. Sunday afternoon : the capital con victs having cut all their rugs and blankets into slips for the purpose of ascending to the top of the Prison from the Press-yard. Informa (ion having been given of their intention, the Governor and his assistants- repaired to that part of the prison, and tin found the whole of the apparatus for this Quixotic scheme ; it was secured, and the whole of tlu convicts were im mediately locked up in tlwir cello. On Monday the gheriff3 attended, and an 6xamination took place, the result of which was three of the prin. &pals were double-ironed and put into different cell'.. MEXICO. We some time ago alluded to the discovery made by the Spanish Governor of the Castle of St. John de Ullua, of certain French agents who had been sent to Mexico, for the purpose of in triguing among the inhabitants of that country. Subjoined is the official Report of the above officer respecting this affair, transmitted to the : Captain-General of the Island of Cuba, for his guidance and information. We do not hesitate to give it as our opinion, that the discovery of the project contained in this dispatch, hastened the nomination and departure of our Consuls to. South America : • " MOST ExcELLt XT Stn--The Captain of the French frigate, Le Faroe, which entered this port together with our own, the Constitution, on landing on the 18th ult. introduced to me two persons of his own nation, whom he said he had brought on board of his vessel through the recommendation of his Go vernment, which recommendation the latter had been induced to give at the solicitation of a company of merchants, who by this means endeavoured to obtain in this country information merely relating to their commercial pursuits. The object of the aforesaid French Commander was, that the above-men tioned persons should land at Vera Cruz, with my permis sion ; and considering, that although I should refuse the re quest, it would be extremely easy for them to gain their object by landing on any other point of the coast, I shewed the more frankness and readiness to oblige them, as my con versation with the persons reenminended, excited in me some suspicions that they were not such persons as they represented themselves to be, and that their. coming here was cloaked, by some mystery, which I only flattered myself with being able to discover by allowing them to go to the neighbouring city, where, through the medium of my own agents, I should be able to watch their conduct, and ascertain the real object of their mission. I was very soon • informed, that out of sixty trunks which they landed, scarcely any of them contained mer chandize ; and that, contrary to their former professions and appearances, nearly all of the above trunks belonged to the heavy baggage of themselves and families, as the duties in the Custom-house, which they had to pay, did not amount to 50 dollars. 1 further ascertained that they brought with them bills of exchange payable in Vera Cruz, to the amount of 16,000 dollars, which were indorsed by several merchants of credit in France, and lastly by the Ministers of the Treasury Department of that nation. These facts were sufficient to confirm my first suspicions respecting the persons alluded to, and induced me to make every exertion to ascertain thoroughly the mission they were sent on hither by their Government, and for this purpose relied on the peculiar levity of the French nation, and also of the necessity they would be under of having, in a foreign coun try, and one also divided into parties, to make acquaintances in order to obtain such information as they stood in need of. My, hopes were not frustrated, and through a person on whose vera city I can rely, with the greatest confidence, anti who has seen document 4 proving the truth of his assertion, t have ascertained that the principal of them is Mr. Julian Bchmalte, a Colonel of Engineers, and a Chevalierof the Order of St. Louis, Who conies appointed Ambassador Extraordinary of his Most Christian Majesty to the Government of Mexico. The other is his Se. eretary ; his name is Achille de la Motte, and he is a Knight of the Order of Malta., The instructions they have brought over with them from the French Minister of Foreign Attars, direct them'to extend their observations respecting the bias, character, and way orthinking of the inhabitants of this coml• try, as regards the reeiption that would be given to a mem. ber of the French family of the Bourbons, who might come over to reign here ; the result of which they are to communicate to the aforesaid Minister through the medium of the French frigates, which at different periods are to arrive at this port. In case there are no hopes of realising the views of the French Government on the above subject, the aforesaid persons are in structed to make proposals to the Government of Mexico re specting a treaty of commerce 'between the latter and France. Finally, the allowances granted to these persons by their 00. vernment amount to 20,000 dollars annually. God preserve you, &c --Castle of St. John de Ullua, this 24th day of 7 Feb., 1023. (Signed) " FRANCISCO LEMAtiR. " To his Excellency the Captain;General of the Island of Cuba, &c.. &c. &c." After the perusal of this most important Do cument, our readers will know what to think of some of the recent Declarations of the . Govern. inents of England and France on the subject of South America.—(Morniv, Chronicle.) SEA MortsTett.—(Extract of a Letter from Montreal, dated Sept. 15.)---" The steam-boat, Lady Sherbroke, arrived on Friday from Quebec : the passengers on board reported that they bad been followed to within a few miles of this city by a large sea-monster; some supposed it to be the famous sea-serpent, while others believed it to be a whale or a grampus. However, all con curred that it was a fish of a very large kind, statidg the length from 35 to 80 feet. In the evening of Friday, the monster rose alongside the team ferry-boat, which plies from the Cross, (two miles below the city),, to Long Guile, and ap peared to be nearly the length•of the boat. On Saturday morning two enterprising Captains, Brush and Seymour, with a crew of eight men, went down in the long-boat belonging to the s t eam -boat. About three mikis below Montreal they had the satisfaction• to see the fish rise and blow. They immediately pulled for his track, and soon came alongside when the harpooner fixed the dart into him. Now a scene took place which surprised those who had collected on shore. The eurrent running with great rapidity, it is not common to see a boat propelled up atreapi with any swiftness ; but the whale, for so we must now call him, darted with the boat.in tow up the current, at the rate of 10 or 12 miles an hour. The whale, perhaps not wishing to approach too near the city, soon tacked about and stood down for Long Point, and remained towing the boat until near twelve o'clock, going where he pleased, and drawing the boat much faster than those in her were accustomed to travel even by steam. Finally, the harpoon gave way, and the whale for the present made his escape. The party, however, are determined to make a second trial to-morrow, when they will be better supplied with proper instruments. Hundreds were assem bled on the shore to witness the attack and cha se , ned certainly it was a novel one to see a whal e GOO miles up from the sea-board." Bannow states, that the visiting ticket sent by the Governor of Pe-tche-lee t o the British Am bassador, was crimson p a per, and of such dimen. sions, that a room of moderato size might have been papered with it. THE LATE DISTRESS IN IRELAND. The Committee who last year so laudably and successfully conducted the Subscription, for ,the Relief of the distressed Districts in Iceland, have just published a Report of the whole , of their pro ceedings, which spews the effectual application that was made of the funds in their hands to the desired object of them. Our readers will be gratified by the perusal of the following extract from this Report " After mature consideration, they wore of opinion, that they could not better apply the surplus funds, than by devot. ing them chiefly to the encouragement of a manufacture, not wholly unknown to the South of Ireland, and particularly well adapted to improve the habits and condition of the peasantry. " The manufacture which the Committee found it expedient to recommend was that of the coarser kind of linens, which had already been partially introduced into the South of Ireland by the Irish Government. This could not, in the smallest degree, interfere with the trade in the finer linens, so extensively and beneficially established in the North of Ireland. " The resolution directing the appropriation of this large grant, includes the manufacture of wool, in order to afford an opportunity for the application of a portion of the fund to that useful branch of domestic industry, where local circumstances may may render it suitable. On the western coasts of Ireland, the poverty of the inhabitants, and the prevailing humidity of the climate, render this domestic manufacture an object worthy of especial and constant attention. " Having appropriated 40,000/. to the ten counties on an estimated proportion, it was determined to confide the execu tion of this important measure of relief to the resident Gentle. men of each county, without whose zealous and active co operation no plan whatever could be permanently successful. " Trustees were accordingly chosen for each county, who were, recinested to associate for the purpose of carrying these objects into effect. To these Trustees was confided the management of the funds, and the appointment of District Committees, for the purpose of conducting the details of the business under their own immediate superintendence. A Board of Directors was also appointed in London, to whom the , Trustees are to make annual returns of the administration of this grant. " It will be seen by these regulations, and by the several resolutions annexed to this Report, that the money so appro. priated, is to be advanced, on security, upon the reproductive principle of the Charitable Loan Societies already established with success in various parts of Ireland ; the loans to be made to a limited extent, in the materials and implements of menu. facture only, and to be repayable, by instalments, within a certain period. As far as the Committee are at present enabled to f9rm a judgment, they may fairly anticipate the most bent. ficial results from this endeavour to establish on behalf 9f the poorer classes, a system of regular and profitable employment. Some interval of time however must elapse, before the experi, ment can be fully tried, and before the plan can receive the improvements An d advantages to be derived only from practice and experience. " Independently of the grants made to the Committees and ; other public bodies, the abundant generosity of the British pub: lic has enabled the Committee to extend some assistance for , the special relief and protection of the distressed female pea santrY and their children. In the distribution of this relief, several Ladies of distinguished humanity undertook personally to superintend the distribution of flax and wool, receiving bask the yarn, anti disposing of the produce of their labour, 4o as to enable the poor to continue this beneficial course of cm ployment. °iThe returns made to the Committee by these public spi. rited individuals, evince the most economical and careful ap idication of the funds entrusted to them. A narrative of the proceedings of a Lady in the County of. Mayo, reported in the appendix, affords the most gratifying evidence of the excellent effects resulting from her laudable attentions to the pcior in her neighbourhood. " Among the proposals for giving employment to the female poor; aplan for introducing a new kind of straw plat manufac ture Into. Ireland, was deemed worthy of attention. The Coin mittee were induced to give encouragement to this species of industry, by a knowledge of the effect produced by a somewhat similar experimentamong the inhabitants of the Orkney Islands. There is every reason to hope that it will become a produCtive source of , profitable employment. . The attempt is. now mak ing in the neighbourhood o. Cahir, in the county of Tipperary, under the immediate observation and assistance of the charitable association of that town. . • • " In justice to the people for whose relief these funds have been administered, the Committee have great satisfaction in stating, that the bounty, of the British public was distinctly declined, when it became no longer necessary for the relief of urgent distress. A strict account was rendered of the balance • remaining in the hands of the respective Cornmitteew to whom the funds had been entrusted. " This circumstance, together with the large surplus which the Committee were enabled to devote to the permanent im provement of those districts, affords honourable proof, not only that the leading Atte of the subscription` has been ac complished, but that the funds have not been wasted in et travagant or interested objects, The records of the Commit tee abound with the warmest expressions of gratitude for this timely relief. Impressed with the conviction that the Irish people will give substantial proofs of this, their character istic quality, the Committee may be allowed to express their firm belief, that among the many good effects produced by this great subscription, independently of its main pur pose, it will be found to have softened many' prejUdices, to have promoted feelings of mutual kindness and confidence, and to have strengthened the bond of .union between the two countries. . • • , " The records of the Committee contain also numerous proofs of the manly and patient fortitude with which the ex. tremities of' distress were sustained, and many striking' in stances in which this spirit induced the peasantry to con.. ceal the real extent of their sufferings. It may reasonably be hoped, that in consequence of the increased and kindly intercourse between them- and the natural guardians of their welfare, and of their experience of the humane and ge nerous sympathy of the British public in. their condition, impressions will have been made on the Irish peasantry. fa. vourahle to their future employment and their future trap. quillity, When the Committee were on the point of closing their proceedings, a very considerable remittance was received in this country from Calcutta, accompanied by the gratifying in formation, that subacriptions had been entered into at the dif. , ferent Presidencies and dependencies Of India. • " The British public will perceive, with careful satisfaction, assurance, 1) a t o r P as r receive eivrerothis that not only their fellow subjects in the- East have most generously proved their sympathy in the distress of Ireland; but that the. Natives of every rank and degree, have liberally c l o re n i t a r n ib d u i t t ed w the trulyill be same beneficentconsolatory that the interest felt fur their sufferings is not more ardent nor more general in England than it is in the most distant parts of the empire. " Part of this latter remittance has been placedat the dis posal of two Societies formed in L ou d on , t h e object of which is to promote the industrious thelrish employment of peasan try. To one of these Societies, which directs it the improvement of the habits and con di t i on of attention to the sum of 2,6001. has been appropriated. the Irish poor, etstab e formation of th e lished a short time prev ious l y to the formation us Society was London Committee, and it is the object of this as w e ll as o f a former grant of one tho usa d five hundred sphere of its useful exerti ons , and to pounds, to enla rge t h e nent existence.

Astrachan is just on the frontiers of Mahommedanism, a.great mart lox . all nations ; and long the. Missionaries have labour• ed there without any fruit. A short time since a young Persian Priest, who was a teacher of language to the Missionaries, became deeply con• vinced of his danger as a sinner, and was ulti mately brought to place all his dependence ea our Loan JESUS CHRIST. This conversion pre" duced a wonderful effect both on the population and on the Missionaries. On the 2d of this month the young convert was baptised, and Greeks and Turks, Persians and Frenchmen, Britons, Germans, and the dwellers in Armenia, were spectators of the solerrin scene. The service was performed by Messrs. Glen, M'Pherson, and Ross, Missionaries of the Scottish Society, ht English, Turkish, and Persian, so that all under' stood some part or other of the service. Previously to the administration of the ordinance, Miria Ma' hummed Ali, for that was his name, made a i de' claration of hi s f a i t h an d h ope i n G o n. h 8 following is a translation : " When the most high God of his boundless mercy' Pre.` rented to me the tidings of the Gospel, I read and saw that It gave information concerning 3 Saviour, whom God most high had made a propitiation for his sinful servants. I next reflect , ed on my own sinful actions, which I committed in times pest , I Saw myself a sinner, and perceived what an enemy to Ged sin must be. In myself I had no hope of life or salvation frF° the wrath of God. I then compared the Gospel with other sacred books, namely,.the Palms, the Law, and the Prophets; and saw that in sense they were in perfect unison with each other, respecting the fore-mentioned Saviour nor could I find the slightest discrepancy between them. After this I cc 3s drowning in a multitude of thoughts, but at all times I earnest' ly entreated God most high to show me that way in which Alone the salvation of the soul is to be found, and that he would per. feet his will concerning his servant. " And after some days in a remarkabl e manner , my heart and soul, and my whole frame, gave me testimony:that the blood of Christ has become a propitiation for all my sins, Po if I should at this time die I had nothing to fear. " To the praise of God, from that hour to thi s , my belief is , that Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of God, that his blood was shed for the sake of sinners, and that, except the holy books above-mentioned, there is no oracle from God.
