THE I.ONDO.'i JOURNALS. DAILY tailr:CAT from the Morninz ' J apers, October 2. [Tile nstEs.] 'lllaOrid Papers were received yesterday to the nth ult. In these we have Ballasteros's ac count of the affair between himself and Riego, 'up to the flight of the General since made cap- Aye. It is observed of the iEneid, that there is but one reflection throughout the whole work, in person of the author, and that only of four kines. On the. contrary, Ballasteros's dispatch 3s made pp Of, reflections, and. the greater part Atop ,hirusplf, his own transcendent virtues and 4istaat.wisdorn. The creature seems hardly ca. Trable of feeling or perceiving that he is , a kna - ve and a traitor. Orders are stated to, have ieen issued by the Duke of Angouleme through s:;uilleminot. 3 to give up Riego to the 'Madrid At g ency. if this account be true, it is a base ) earl cruel aCt. It appears from the Same Paperb, Sista :neeting of ,the Extraordinary Cortes has 14en place. The object of their assembling sbould seem a superfluous, Care to them at the pTesent moment—it is to take into consideration' &report on the state of the nation. We are sur pzited, however, at the number of members szresent—they amount to ,1.12 ; and the King's 4pe.ech on the opening of, the Sessinfi. will be :bought curious. He is made to:Complain, in an yuligrent Emit), that the enemy will not, treat -With him for peace, unless he places himself in the midst of their bayonets.

Valdes in a coach, by which conveyance he soon afterwards retained. From the moment he landed' till he was out of hearing, he was saluted from the wharfs with shouts of" Viva la Contitucion," from an immense concourse assembled on the oc casion. A person describing his reception, writes, " that it is a pity the laws of war could not have been dispensed with, and the handkerchief taken from his eyes, in order that he might have seen the smiling and joyful countenances by which he was surrounded, as well as the abundance .of provisions on all sides. He would then have been able to return with a correct report of the state of the city, and of the sentiments of the inhabitants." /This letter was delivered to King Ferdinand, and to it, on the following day, he returned the accompanying answer in his own hand-writing. In perusing these two curious papers, we are naturally struck with astonishment at the very singular demand of the French Generalissimo, transmitted in the name of his Uncle and King, of which his Royal , corres pondent Assures him tlukt he and his Govern ment now hear, for the first time, although the 'French have been, very humanely engaged for five months in desolating this 'kingdom, and harassing his subjects. ' The Duke, in fact, demands that the ancient Cortes of the kingdom should he re-establised, ivhereas, when he and his auxiliaries first commenced the campaign, they held forth only one ultimatum, and this was, that Spain should return to the precise state she was in previous to the Revolution of 1820, when neither laws, nor Government, nor Cortes, an cient or modern, existed, and the nod of the Mo narch and theintrigues of a band of flatterers and fanatics alone governed Spain. On the original prin ciple, the Mad rid Regency and their IVland otries are acting up to the present hour, as may be seed from the docoments we published on Tuesday, respect ing the forcible ejectment of purchasers of national property, as well , as the acharnment with which the Constitutionalir,ts aye every where persecut ed. The Duke to his Royal Cousin also talks of an amnesty .; but what guarantee can he give that it will be observed by the Madrid Regency and their supporters, whose acts hitherto indicate nothing but robbery and vengeance ? Lvlalillikla POST.] French Papers to the , 90th ult. reached us list night by Express. They have neither brought the capitulation of St. Sebastian, nor the official detsils of the redaction of Fort •St. Petri. Of the latter' event, however, the Etoile contains some particitlars, which will be found In a preceding colimr. The smallness of the garrison, which amounted only to between 150 and 200 men at ':tire moment of the surrender, proves that the fort itself .was not of great lectern, though its position at the entrance of the river of Sipa Petri gave it undeniable importance. Notwith standing the., weak numbers by 'whom it was defended, it:Seams to, have supported a trernen (loll9 fite for seVatal hours. The attack was chiefly carried on by the navy,,by tlAree.thOitsand israils were fired, whilst the land battery sent only a thousand. Although the Duke of Ate.' goulerne Said to have received only ar•Verlial account .of the action from Vice-Admiral des R.otours, the Ptoile 'pretends to give the accurate amount of_the Prench loss ; and, if it be accurate, it affords another specimen of the miraculous, for it does not exceed t' One killed in the had bat tety,Attid three on board the 'ship's." Indeed Five find that the same mysterious power which convey ed the Spanish bells over the beads of the enemy whin'theystornied the TrocSdero, lest they shOilld hive - 4163 , 1HW or wounded, kindly extended the saMetood 'office to their ships, and caused the shot from the'forf to" pass over their-rigging," witheut doing any damage." An unguarded admission is made by the Etoile i when it states That the moment the fort was taken, the in habitants• of the island threw ibeenselves into Cadiz.V How came 'they to beinsensible to the blessingi of French dominion, and to display 'a spirit' so widely different from 'that joy and'rep• tore with which the Ultra Journals assure us, that their liberating armies have been and are received every where in SPain This IS the:first time that the existeuce of , popular hostility towards them has been -openly acknow ledged oprAtp, , Oclaimpd in this quarter. Had the 'truth alvidys beers toid„ it would probably be the , hundredth ; but though late it is welcome, ft aliords us the means of judging what coo& dance we are to put in the assertions of the ene my, that people at Cadiz and in the Isle of Leon are hostile to the Constitution, and f r i en dly to their besiegers; for there is : no doubt that the political feeling which prevailed 'round Santi Pedri prevails alio with equar fat-de and Sincerity in those two places, [Nto n siva , •oakt.a.j fa another part of our Paper ire the spieches which were made at the Dinner Meeting on •Tuesday, given by th e Sherlffs.—.o4Tiregus ql• yestirria,y). We were much pleased , that Mr. Canning , and Mr. ffuskisson were there. In - our opinion, nothing strengthens. a Ministry more than associating, so far As they can do it with propriety, with , those who are avowedly in opposition to 'them It shows a disposition to conciliate, which is a disposition that pleases every-one. Charles ff., on his restora• - lion, adopted this plan, and he met With mbch success. Though he was known to be profligat,., ye he so won upon the ,people, especially the , trniddling classes, that even to this day he is liked 17 them, and his memory is respected. Mr.. Waf.thtnan,, the Lord Mayor elect, every one i 'lLnovrf, has always been among what is celled, the Opposition ; yet, as far as we remember, he "has Maintained consistency. No prospect of place or petrilon, that we know of, has canted • him to swerve frorn uttering what he thought to Lbe loath, So far as poliCcal epini9ns are con cerned,..ao4 90 far lie is to be praised ; and both Kr. Canning and Mr. - Huskisson at this dinner 'indirectly land ed --- This is a new spirit which is arising in England ; it is the spirit of conciliation.; that of Onttemen the spirit- of Christianity. And it gives us great pleasure - to observe, that King George the Fourth's Ministers set so good an example.. We wish that it may be. followed, and that the mean, paltry, virulent party spirit may die away, that has been for the 1s quarter of a century so fashionable, in a coun try''-boasting of its courteousness;, its philan thropy; its humanity; its freedom of speech ; its toleration of religion ; and its Christianity. We are glad to see this spirit in the present Ministry, composed of Messrs. Canning, Robinson, Huskis son, and others ; it being much more amiable and likely to have a Much better effect with John Bull than the precise and apparently religious sys tem pursued by Mr. Yansittart, who, nevertheless, we bellete to have been ,a well-intentioned man, or he never would have been so strenuous an advocate for the continuation of the Property. Tax, though, in persisting therein, he ran the risk of losing the popular voice. He was, however, too bi gotted. England, we think, has made a good charge, provided the present Ministry only pro ceed as they have begun—namely, keep at peace—reduce the taxes gradually—permit the utmost possible political and religious liberty— getirid, by degrees, of the National Debt, and let other nations fight with each other as , much as they please, without our interfering with -them, only taking care, during all the time, to secure as many gold snd silver mines as we can, and as much of the bone of commerce as we can fairly grasp. In fact, initiating the Chinese, saying to all nations," we have got cotton, woollen, hard ware, and crockery-ware goods, coals, lead, tin ,and a variety of other useful things,which you either do not furnish, or you' are too lazy to produce, either in consequence of your hot climate et- re dundancy of food in comparison with your defi ciency of population, and we wiil receive in re turn your hides, 'wool, tallow, gold and silver, chinchillas, or any. other commodity whateyeA.r MAYOR AND SitiERIFF Or CANTERBURY. -CANTERBURY, qEris. 30.—The annual celebra tion of the inauguration of our Chief Majeetrate took place yesterday, being the feast of St. Michael : Ald. Henry Cooper, the Mayor Elect, accompanied by his father, • the late Mayor, and a portion of the Members of the Corporation, proceeded to his parochial Church, and after heating divine service, and a very appropriate sermon by the Rev. John Francis, officlitirig as the Mayorys Chaplain, they, returned to the Guildhall, when the Mayor Elect hav ing been sworn into his office, was pleased to nominate Mr. Lanford, Gent. as Sheriff: As is customary, a dinner took place at the Fountain Inn, which was plentifully supplied with venison, and other delicacies of the season. Upwards of a hundred' petiont Were present, amongst whom was the Earl of Darnley, Mr. Lushingtott, one of the Representatives of Parliament for the city, Sir John HonyWood, Bart., Mr. Gipps, several Members of the Corporation, and Other respectable inhabitants. On the health of the . County Members being drank, Sir John Honywood -rose to ekiatess their unavofdible absence. The health of the City Mem bers next followed, when Mr. Lushington rose and said, as the noble father of his Rom. Colleague • was ptesent, he should. not preface any observations on his absence, but answer lot Minn self; he couht-but compliment the worthy Mayor upon the very respectable assembly that surrot'nded . him, end as a pre. lude to his administration. he felt confident that the privil e ges and tights of this ancient city woUld,be preserved through the arduous duties of his quite ; he begged Ito return his most grate ful thanks for the many favours he hid received from the citi atria of Canterbury, and assured them, as their Represent a ti ve in Parliament, be felt the highest honour that 'Could be c on f e r. red upon any individual. ford Darnley also returned his wantien thanks as-the Representative of his son, Lord Clifton,' who fully intended to have been present that'tley..

FROM A COROSPONDENI.—A well . , !mown travelkr, some years ago, who was as great an eccentric io character as he Was : uncommon in person, had one arm, the other a talse one ; •one jeg, the other a false one ; one eye, the,other a-false one ; a cot plete.artificial set of teeth. It .was his custo►n in sitting -down to dinner in a traveller's house, to bring out his *case of useful instrumeni a, each of 'which screwed into his sham arm, to 'feed himself, vi , f. knife for %, spoon, and vitriiits other articles, for different purposes, all of. which he used with great dexte rity. There alte many trayelters at the'present day who willietollect him. One night he took up his quarters at, h retired public house in the -country, had his supper, took two glasses 'of brandy and Water, and went up to' nt itil ; having reached his room, he rang the , bell,; on the chamber-maid entering,, he desired Boots to be sent up to him; on the arrival of Boots, he held out his leg--" }hie, help me off with my boots." Th e man pulled, and "off Came the boot from the real leg. The traveller having preViously loosened the fastening of• the false leg, Boots began to try, when . off cafl,e the:other boot, leg, and all„ which not a little sofpri3ed Soots, who laid it quietly, down.

The traveller having loosene4.l the fastenings of the false arm, off came the coat with the hit) in it ; ,Boots stared with astoni4braent at the traveller, Who iiirdedi titely pulled out his false eye, and with an air placed it down on the table ; then opening his mouth, extracted the whole of his teeth : Boota by this time was all amazement, was retreating in haste from the room, when the traveller bel lows out, ".Hallo, Booti, here, unscrew my head, itud Put it on the cltait , ' The. poor fellow ran 4dwo stairs driadrtNY frightened, and, Pantidg for bteath, exclairneql to the hoSt be was sure they hid got the devil in the house, relating at 'the some time what hactoccurred ; which t:o alar me d the 'amity, ,that they wkre afraid of retiring to their 41 i. .M t• beds ; Mornin g i t sit i o u a rrived, l he .tr r g nrii4l-gl t aridr a i ell °f er their ggot Up, dressed himself, came down to brealfro.t, to all .aPPearatKe as perfeet as . if nothing had happened, took his . breakfast, offering to settle Ilia bill ; but the landlord could not he prevailed upon to take any thing, told his guest there Was, nothing to pay, he was quite welcome to all he had had, was very polite t o -Thar, wished him gotiii diorn ing, and felt happy they viere rid of hi; sable Majesty In the feria of a traveller. u.~~.~-_ A commercial letter, dated WArsaw, sth o f September, Sair s--s 4 On ak:couut of the 'very beau tiful harvest throughout Poland, the prices of all sorts of grain hav e undergone a great depression.

THE ATHENIEUM or THE LADIES' FEMALE LITERARY SOCIETY. - PARIS, SEPT. W.—There are some things in which the most partial and prejudiced English man must - yield the palm to our lively neighbours on this side of the Channel. Though, like Gold smith's old soldier, he may " hate the French, because they are ail slaves, and wear wooden Shoes"—though he may think the two Houses (even in their present state) better than the two Chem ' hers,' and may even preferroast beef and the Bill of Rightato ragolit and the Charter—he must admit that our neighbours e xc e l us i n dancing, in ballet-making, and bOnnet-making; add that in.scarcely any branch of the *fine .arts of milii nery and perfumery, we can stand a comparison. To..make up for this inferiority, we u se d to r e ly On our learning,:eind blue-stockings; but a so 7 ciety has been established some months ago .in . this capital, which 'threatens this our supremacy, where we least. thought it vulnerable. This so ciety entitles itself L'Athenie - des Dames, and holds its sittings thrice a week, in very elegant saloons in the Place Vendome, themost fashionable square„ of Paris. Before this time,. the French could. oppose to our learned eountryWomen viduals. of-theirown sex of great merit, memoir writers, philosophers, commentators, and critics, they could..hold up them as rivals, their D 004- Shia Domii Dacie (is Jr. Clarke calls her), their Sevignes,itnd their de.

The French Acadeiny may` indeed be Jealous of the rising glories of this rival institution, for warty 0! .I the old women in that old establishment must lose in a comparison with the more fair members of the new; but the dawn& des Dames need dread t. hostility from no other quarter: All the rest f, of the world, whether admitted or not to its sittings will be disposed to agree with the Secretary in his admiration of its object and , a composition, though probably felw but himself ' could have felt such high inspiration on the oc casion of expressing it as the following- passage of his speech evinces :—" 'Accomplished and charming women! After the Divinity and the Monarchy, you shall be the objects of oar purest homage : without you—without your. pre sence, society languishes and is extinguished. As the star of day re-animat e s ever y thi n g i n th e uni verse, and gives life to all nature, so you restore existence to the civilized world !" By this and several other passage% about legitimacy and the war in Spain, the reader may be led to conclude that the Secretary and the majority of the lady members are Ultras. If so, they might be ad vised to form a union with a male association of the same politics, called /a Societe des Hommes 'de Bonnes Lettres, Which includes in its number M. de Chateaubriand and other good Royalists , The public might then naturally expect to see the fruits of their learned labcults, 9r volumes of their transactions, every nine Itt on thS.

These high exploits have been regarded in land as very innocent in their tendency, andif not absoluteiy harmless, at least dangerous only to the enterpriaing indi- viclu.als who undertake them. But among a certain close of French politicians, the matter is viewed differently. Never bird of bad. omen was looked upon with more ahrm than the aailing vehicles of Messrs. Graham and Sadler by these ultra-Itoyalist augurs., Always disposed to suap.ct the friends of freedom of some profound mischief, they see in the experi. mental flights of our English Ardali, the meanSpreParing for the relief of Cadiz.
