THE LONDON JOWLNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Dec. 3. • MUSH NUM.) 'The eye of the French Cabinet is still fixed 'en South America; its emissaries are yet prowl ing round its shores : it will not resign the at tempt to obtain a part of the rich conquests of °Cortez and . Pizarro, but from absolute despair of success. Notting will ultimately prevetit the expedition to Peru or Mexico, but the niehacts of our CabipBt and the fears of a British ileet.L- We have wets a very recent letter frorn a Spanish Nobleman, a friend to the constitutional system, within some days, stating, that naval and other stores, hi great quantities, were collecting by the 'French in Cadiz; that they had publicly avowed their determination to retain possession of that 'strong place while we Itch! Gibraltar ; and that in Cadiz the fitting outa fleet with French supplies, and French troops for South America, was also publicly talked of. The-Etoile, for some days silenced by the tone of our Journals, has return. ed to the charge on this subject. "To whom (this Journal has asked, still harping on South America) must application be made to conclude treaties l That which you to-day conclude with a republic, will to-morrow be torn in pieces by a despot." Unfortunately for the arguments of the disinterested Etoile, there is not, since the days of Iturbide, an individual despot through out. all Spanish America. Peru is now the only province where a remnant of Spanish ascendancy remains, and there it will speedily be extinguished by the presence and energy of Bolivar. Though Mexico, as the Etoile remarks,'" in the space of two years, has been a Republic, then an'Empire, and now again a Republic," infant liberty in every State has changes of this sort to pass through be• fore it becomes confirmed into manhood : and though, as this paper adds, " the cannon of the " Royalists interdict (at Vera Cruz) the free. " dom of the only port by which her relations " with Europe were maintained," this is the last struggle Spanish supremacy will ever make, of itself, in Mexico; it is the last hectic effort that precedes its utter dissolution in that fine province. 46 Time alone," the Etoile concludes by saying, " can decide the yet uncer lain fate of Spanish America." This is a truism that does not admit of contravention. Time is the mighty consummator of all things ; in its dark womb is hid the fate not only of dYnasties and kingdoms, but of worlds. The Etoile is no wi zard, therefore,in proclaiming this deep discovery; but the Etoile should have added that, of herself, Spain cannot recover a single rood of ground in the New World ; that the tyrant who now tramples on that country possesses neither ships, troops, money, resourcesf nor foreign credit ; that, unassisted, he. could not now dispatch an expedition against one of the Canary Isles ; but ,„that France has already suggested an expedition, at her cost, to remunerate her in Mexico or Peru, for her late vast expenditure within the Pyrenees ; and that means are collecting now in Cadiz ulti mately to lit out such an armament, the colours alone of ‘thich %Oil be Spanish. Whether this armament will sail, 44 time and the hour" will yet 'slow it will if this country does not prevent it. [MORNING HERALD.] ft appears from letters received by the Dutch Mail, that notice has been given at the Bank of Amsterdam, of an advance in the rates o f dis. count, from three to five per cent. That esta blishment also declines for the present making any advnnces on deposits of gold or silver bul lion. The current rate of interest in Amsterdam for private discounts varies from seven to eight per cent. The cause assigned for this sudden increase in the value of money in Holland, is the new Dutch Loan ; the greater part of which, When the measure was first projected, was ex pected to have been been subscribed for in Eng. land and other countries, but which, it is now ascertained, must chiefly depend on the home market for support. [TUE Tutus.] We learn from good authority, thht the Spanis restored Government has at length been drive the necessity of adopting some measures for the maintenance of its credit in foreign countries; though respecting the nature of those •mea tures, or the probability of their proving satis factory to the creditors, little can yet with certainty be a ffi rmed. othing could be more decided, we understand, than the disposition of Ferdinand and his Counsellors when he re entered the capital, to shake off all pecuni ary obligations incurred during the government of the Cartes. To that end emissaries, of whom M. Guebhard was one, were employed in the different cities of Europe, to announce con tracts, and circulate obligations of the Royal Government, one leading condition of which was understood to he annulling wholly the Constitu tional loans. Rut thin impudent attempt to raise money in the face of a disavowal of that common principle of honesty by which all pecuniary transactions should be governed, met with the contempt it merited, and in all instances totally failed. The next expedient of the Spanish Go vernment, who conceived this hopeful plan to have miscarried, not through its own barefaced disho nesty, but through the want of respectability in the agents, was to consult some of the more distinguish ed capitalists respecting its financial difficulties, and to urge them to an undertaking similar to that in which M. Guebhard had failed. But this was rejected with Indignation, and the point under consideration respecting the financial af fairs of Spain is now understood to be, what con. cessions on the subject of the Constitutional loans will induce the iipitalists of Europe to make further advances of money to the restored Go vernment. As this may probably become a very difficult and complicated question, some time may elapse before it is decided in a manner satisfac tory to alt parties ; but this, according to the latest accounts, was the situation of affairs at Madrid. NORNING CHRONICLE.] We have additional reasons for believing that it is tile ititention of King Ferdinand to submit a consultation to his Council respecting a general' amnesty, for the express purpose of obtaining a negative answer, as a public sanction to the con duct be is now pursuing, and conformably to the plan we yesterday stated. Canon Saez is in favour of this scheme, and he now pos sesses more power than ever he did. Wh en Pozzo di Borgo first reached Madrid, it was his intention to persuade the King to choose a man better known and of a higher character than the canon for Prime Minister ; but, as soon as he became personally acquainted with him, his opinion altered.. The Russian Diplomatist found the Canon supported by all the Clergy, and certain other indications led him to discover that both in the character of the King's Con. fessor and Prime Minister, he might be extremly useful in promoting the views and interests of his own Master. Some of the Grandees and Courtiers were in favour of the nomination of Labrador, as more experienced Statesman ; their applications were, however, silenced from the moment it was known that Saes was un• der the protection of the Russian Envoy. A material part of the mission of the latter to Madrid relates to the affairs of South America; and hence, it is concluded, that if any Congress on this subject takes place in Paris (which is yet very dubious), it certainly cannot meet so early as has been announced, as it is expected Pozzo di Borgo will take a leading part in all the dis cussions on this subject whenever they are brought on the tapis ; and it would not be pos sible for his Excellency to quit the Spanish capi tal till after the middle of December. He has still some important arrangements to make with the Government of King Ferdinand, which he com plains moves very slowly, respecting bounda ries, cessions, and certain rights of navigation, connected with the new acquisitions of the Russians in the North Paciac, that already bor der on California. There appears at present to be no demur to any thing the Russian Minister may please to demand, so great is the debt of gratitude King Ferdinand owes to so distinguished a member of the Holy Alliance as the Emperor of all the Missies, as well as to his representative and negociator, who has the merit of having been the most active and efficient instrument employed to urge Louis XVIII. to undertake a war which in the result has proved so successful, and besides re stored his Royal Relative to a power, in the exer cise of which he can dispose of half his " vast do minions. in the Now World, if lie so pleases, with out being obstructed or hereafter called to ac count by the impertinent framers of a Constitu tion, which established, as a fundamental law of the land, " that no Sovereign should have the power to alienate the smallest portion of the Monarchy, without the previous consent of the Cortes." [3l ORNI N G POST.] We expressed our regret yesterday that the differences which had arisen between Captain Willes, of his Majesty's ship Brazen, and the Government of Buenos Ayres, should have in. encased instead of being amicably settled. The grounds of the misunderstanding are described in a communication from Buenos Ayres, dated Aug. 2 - 1, to be as follows V.*" The first offence appears to have been given by this - Government, or those acting under it, by the national brig in the outer roads tiring a shot at the Brazen's boat, when boarding an English merchant vessel (the Minstrel) on arrival, the port regulations not allowing any communication until the visit is made by the Quarantine, or Custom-house boat from the shore. Capt. Willes being on shore at the time, the Commanding Officer of the Brazen sent on board the brig to inform them, that if another shot was fired, he should be obliged to return it. The occurrence was soon known on shore and shortly afterwards Captain Willes waswaited upon by an Officer of the Govern ment, to desire that he would retire from the town in two hours time, with which he complied, and then addressed the Government, reporting to them that the insults he had met with, and his intention to resent the same unless a satisfactory explanation was immediately made." In answer to this , demand, M. de Rivadavia, the Minister for the Home Department, and for Foreign Affairs, invited Capt. Wiles to land, and have a verbal conference upon the matter in dispute ; but this Captain Wines refused to do, and in conse quence, the Buenos Ay res Government determined to address itself to our Ministers at borne, while Capt. Willes proceeded to act upon his view of the case, and publicly notified " that he would not allow any vessel to pass in or out of the har.• hour, bearing the flag of Buenos Ayres, until satisfaction was given him for the insults offered to the British slag and himself." In this state the matter rested, at the date of the last udvices from Buenos Ayres. The English merchants there, naturally alarmed at an occurence which threatened to be attended with such prejudi. cial consequences to their interests, held a pub. lie meeting, and addressed a respectful memoria to Captain Willes, urging him to accede to the proposition of Rivadavia for a verbal conference It seems, however, that Captain Willes dint no feel himself justified in complying with this re quest. [N my' Times.] The question of the disphte between Captain Wines and the Buenos Ayres.Governrnent at• tracts much attention, and greatly divides opi nion in the City. We apprehend that any decision on the question would at present be premature ; but we perfectly agree with . The ,4'ourier that there is prima facie evidence . that Captain Wines was right, because he Is abused by, 'The Morning' C 1 The interests of the British merchants trading with Buenos Ayres undobtedly demand every consi deration ; but' we are convinced that they would be among' the htst men to require a compro mise of 'the National dignity, without the main tenance of which indeed our commercial supe riority would soon cease to exist. It cannot be forgotten how loudly The Chronicle clamoured about the honour of the British flag, when the question, was whethey our merchant vessels were to be allowed to break the noticed and actual blockade of Cadiz; but now that a I3uenos Ayres Ibrig begins by (Irb -, at, att English boat proceed• in& from an Enalisl7 vessel of war to an Eng. lish merchantman, The Chronicle most consist ently sneers at the " delicate honour of the British Commander.'! !—lt is also assumed by The Chronicle (for we see no proof of it in the documents yet published) that the trans action took place " in the waters of the Buenos Republic." The locality may be material, in the view which his Majesty's Government will hereafter take of the transaction. At the same time it is to he remembered that the Republic itself not being yet formally recognised by the British Go vernment, the extent of its maritime jurisdiction could still less be admitted by a British officer.to interfere with his professional duties ; and at all events it would have been prudent, to say the least in the Buenos Ayres Government, not to have pushed its supposed rights to such an ex treme as to fire on an English boat. We are quite certain that ,his Majesty's Government would not uphold any insult offered to the Au thorities of Buenos Ayres ; but we are no less assured that it would not tolerate a direct insult from those authorities to the British flag. CITY Busuless.—Yesterday the LORD MAYO it held a Court of Aldermen, for the general dis patch of public business ; and it being the first Court in the ; Mayoralty, his Lordship, attended by the Sheriff's, came to the Guildhall in state. The Sheriffs reported the state of the several gaols. The Inquest of the Ward of Farrington Within attended with a presentment of sundry non-freemen, and the nuisance occasioned by slaughter-houses : the latter was referred to the consideration of a committee, and the non-freemen to the Chamberlain. The Lord Mayor dechtred a vacancy of Chief Clerk to the Sitting Justices at Guildhall, by the death of Mr. Payne ; and the next Court was appointed for the election of a successor. Several persons were sworn, and others allowed' to be admitted, brokers, and some discharged from that office. The Court were occupied a very considerable time in hearing and investigating complaints against brokers. WIDOW Or THE MURDERED RIEGO.--011 Sa. turtles.' last, at a meeting of the contributors to the late Spanish Subscription in this' town, it was unanimously agreed that the sum of Fifty Pounds 'should be offered to the widow 'of the patriotic martyr RIEGO.-- , (LiVerpool/t/r/TUra.) DESPERATE GANG Or VILLAINS..-...We have more than once observed that Barrack-street was the focus of villainy ; a fresh proof was fureished on Friday night, when the brother-In-law of our respected Secretary of State ll—Goulbourn, Esq. was dogged by two or three villains from Bar rack-street, through which he passed on foot, to the Viceregal Lodge, between six and seven o'clock on Friday night. Colonel Bowles had passed the pond, and was between that and the Secretary's Lodge, when he was overtaken by three villains. He had observed that he was fol lowed., and took the shortest 'way,' as the night was dark. The three fellows encircled him, and ordered him to stand and deliver his money ; one of them dressed inn light brown coat, armed with a great stick, aimed a blow at him. This the Co. lonel parried. The other two exclaimed, " shoot him if he does not deliver his money." The Colo nel cried out " Murder and robbery ;" his hat was knocked off; but the villains, apprehensive of being taken, on hearing a noise at a little distance, fled, and the Colonel reached the Lodge in safety. The Magistrates have, in consequence of this dar ing attack, with their usual vigilance, placed a strong patrol of horse end foal!) the Park, who are to remain on duty from nightfall to day-light. Three men of suspicious appearance, were observ ed loitering in Blessington-street, between , six and seven o'clock on Friday evening., A gentle man who resides in that street, seat to the watch house. On the constable's arrival they were not to be found ; but on searching the waste ground adjacent, they discovered a large carpet, the pro perty of a gentleman in Blessington-street, stolen a few moments before.—(Dublin lnlidote, No vember 29.) SINGULAR MARRIAGES.---A. circumstance of some novelty in the annals of matrimony occurred a short time ago at Rugely, in this county: it was the union of two couples, whose previous . relative connexion was such as to p ro duce consequences, :a the sequel, of a most extraordi nary and ludicrous description. An old man, of the name of Martin, of I.singdon, aged 76, appeared at the altar with a girl of seventeen, as ilia intended bride ; while her sister, two years older, was led thither by the , grandson of Martin, aged 19. The carton!: results of these alliances arc as follow: The old man recognizes a brother in his grandson, and a sister in his wife ; his spouse must submit (how much saever against her inclination) to the venerable epithet ofgrandmother from her elder sister; and the young man may address the damsel of 17 as his grandmother or sister at pleasure ; while his wife may claim, as her just right, by reason of maturer age, the submis sion of her sister, or to be called Upon to exercise all the re spectful docility of a grand-daughter towards her. — (St a ff ord Hcruld.) ALARMING FIRE AT BATTERSEA.--Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the inhabitants of Battersea were suddenly roused from their sleep, and thrown into considerable consternation, by a dreadful fire breaking, out on the extensive ,pre mises called Mr. Flockton's turpentine manufac tory. The fire when first discovered, soon after three o'clock, proceeded from en out-building occupied as the spirit-room, which fortunately, however, was situated from the manufactory, but where a vast quantity of valuable stores in the business was deposited, and, from the velocity of the flames, an apprehension was entertained that the store-room might contain some combus tible matter, and cause an explosiou; but al though its ,ravages assumed ki most alarming as cendancy, and illuminated the horiion for several miles romtd, yet all fcars were soon sub sided by the above building and a stable in tho possession of Mr. Kerr immediately adjoining; being levelled with the ground. At , length a number of engines from dm metropolis, eccorn panted by firemen, arrived on, the spot, and by their. active exertions they ,precured a supply of water, and lost no time to save other buildings, but commenced playing on the burning ruins ; and the flames, by six o'clock were so completely, subdued, that not the slightest apprehension was entertained of the destructive element extending itself further., How this. fire originated is an. known, but the loss on the occasion to the pro prietor, who we understand is Mr. Kieg, amounts to several thousand pounds. The premises were insured in the Phoenix and Imperial Fire Offices, Happily not tires were lost, nor have we heard that any person received the .slightest injury. LINCOLN COUNTY ELECTION. • 'FIFTH 'DAY. LINCORT, D.E.C. I.—The exertions of each party in this singular contest are still carried on with unabated zeal. The Blues . (Sir J. Thorold's), though so very much be low their adversaries on the poll, still speak with apparent con fidence of success. They talk of the numerous promises of support Wbich they have received from several parts of the County, and they look forward to Wednesday and Thursday next for a general rally of their friends. The Purples, on the other hand, are equally confident, and (not without apparently good reason, from the numbers they have already polled) look upon the return of Sir William Ingilby as quite certain. It was reported here this morning that a proposition was made from Sir Wm. Ingilby's Committee to the friends of Sir John Tho rold's cause, the object of which was, to know whether, •in case Sir Wm. Ingilby should poll half the freeholders of the County, Th they (the rorold party) would give up the contest ? To this, we underatand, it was answered, that they would enter into no agreement of the kind, but would go on with the election as long as they had a man poll. It is a subject of complaint with the Ingilby supporters,that the contest should be prolonged,and the County con unite to be agitated b' a party who haVe no chance of success, and who are acting in the name of a gentleman who has declined to.serve. To this the .Thorold party reply,that they do not so much object personally to Sir Wm. Ingilby, as to the circumstances under which (as they allege) he has been thrust forward by an individual, who (they say) seeks to make the power of nominating 'one Member a sort of appendage to his peer age;, and they add, that had any other man come forward under siinilar auspices, they would have given him the same opposition which they now give to Sir William. Whatever motive has dictated the opposition, and expence to which it has put Sir Win. Ingilby is, we are told, already enormous; and is likely to increase considerably before the contest conies to a close. The other party have gone to very little expence. The voters who have yet come up for Sir John Thorold, have come at their own expence.—(This, though confidently asserted by the Blues, is not implicitly relied on lyy their opponents.)—The greatest expence which the Blues seem to be at, is the support of the band of musicians, who daily parade the town, accom panied by the flags and banners of their party. This, we arc told, comes to about 51. per day, and is raised by collections made at the Spread Eagle, where the gentlemen of the Thorold party daily meet and dine. It is also said that the " ways and means" to meet the expences of the placards and hand-bills of the party are raised in a similar manner. By the way, placards and hand-bills have this day poured forth in abundance from both sides. Two very long ones were issued by the Thorold Committee. One of them, which was headed Symptoms of Distress," alludes to " the sighs and groans" of the opposite party at the heavy expence to which they have been put, and ridicules such complaints so early in a contest, which they (the Purples) had not only voluntarily demanded, but which they boasted they would willingly keep open to the latest moment. The placard then hints that this " weeping and wailing, and gnash ing of teeth" is put forth for the purpose of " exciting a sym pathy at once favourable to Sir William, and prejudicial to his opponents , or for the more substantial benefit of a subscrip tion." In the second placard, a long address is made to the freeholders, pointing out the enormous expence to which the adversaries of independence have' gone,• and hinting that their p,urses will be run out before the close, of the poll.— It then calls the attention of the freeholders to the example which the friends of Sir John Tharold have set, in exercising their rights as independent electors, without resorting to any " profligate expenditure for electioneering purposes. ' The friends of Sir Wm. Ingilby have not been less active in resort. big to the same mode of," election warfare," They too, have their squibs and placards, hand-bills and addresses, in abund ance. • In one, called "A plain statement of facts," it is said that Sir Wm. came forward to rescue the freeholders, " from the toils of a man whose short-sighted ambition has been di rected only to the gratification of his own inordinate self-as sumed importance, to which he did not scruple to sacrifice the friendship and support of the most honourable men in the county." It then states that Sir William came forward on a promise in writing of the vote of Sir John Thorold, and it adds, "it could only be by some crooked and sinister practices that Sir John Thorold could, after that, be influenced to allow his name to be used to defeat the object of that promise." It then calls upon the freeholders to show their indignation " at the crafty machinations used against Sir William Ingilby, and to overwhelm with shame and disgrace that paltry fragment of the lowest radicalism, whose avowed purpose is to rob the only man who had the courage to offer himself for their service." Another hand-bill alludes to the often repeated remark that Sir logilby was contending against a body without a head. It runs thus— " AIIVE WV 01111.1111 it T UNA` aso itummrcy.--Wanted irnme d) without ears, or eyes, or even brains, will be preferred , as the t 'l l 'o 3te l l it Yi th b e y,a b ody 1 f it ' CP : :rust be indepe body v i e n ry Li so nco ft ln, A al"" head . body is determined to perform the functions of those organs for itself. It must, however, have a prominent nosey the last head which the body had having been somewhat deficient in this re spect. "N. 8.. A head with a hrozen face won't do. The late head was separated from the body, owingto the insufferable quantity of brass which it bore in its countenance. " Apply (If is letter, post-paid) to Messrs. Headless and Brothers, (late Wells and C 0,,) Spread Eagle, Lincoln." There are also numerous poetic effusions, but many of them display more zeal than tase in the composers. The poll was continued to-day till nearly half-past four o'clock ; but there were not as many polled as on Friday or Saturday. In Sir John Thorold's number there was some slight improvement, as compared with Saturday. At the close of the day the numbers were On the Day's Poll.

SHERIFF THORPEe---It is With feelings conimon gratification we have just learned, that's is in the contemplation of several Prote stants distinguished for their attachment to the King and Constitution, to form a fund by subscriptiou for the purpose of purchasing a piece of plate to that honourable, loyal, but cruelly Persed dlea individual, Mr. Thorpe, our late respected Shed riff, in testimony of the exalted sense they e nter ' tain of the purity of his official character, w ht : , filling the distinguished situation of Hi g h Sheri ° of the City of Dubin ; and in order to mark II: the most decided manner, their contempt II" abhorrence of that system, which in attac ki " g the Constitutional Rights of the subject, had I ' s ; sailed the integrity of an honest citizen, ae" would have sacrificed him as the victim to a t r: pease the rancour of an intolerant and der l4 f faction, even on the altar of the great pilla r the State—the trial by J ury.—(Dublin Antio" Nov. 29.) The following abominable case we e xtrac t from the Scotsman, and we call upon any o h° , can show light upon the little less than inferaP character of this transaction, for the sake of ja i " tice to do it—that their own wives, and daugh' ters, and sisters, may be shielded aga i ns t simil ar villainies.—Eds. F. P.—Two girls, apparent i l about the age of 14, and of most engaging or pearance, were brought to the Police Ofrlce' Edinburgh, for protection, upon Wednesday loft' under the followiug circumstances. They In' longed to G lasgow, had both been in service', but owing to some changes in the situation 0' their masters, both were thrown out of ernPleY t e s ment.
