'OE LONDON .101:1INAL. DAILY Extrachfrom the Morning Papers, November 15. [MOUNING CHRONICLE :I There is: a pettiness and a spirit of vindictive ness about the Botirbon Government of France, which renders it very contemptible in the eyes of Europe. When Mr. Bowring was liberated, after the most„persevering efforts to find matter of orimination against him, they were forced to declare that there was no charge to authorize his detention. With a Police, to which every thing is known, they could not substantiate the shadow of nit offence. The only thing that bears the semblance of justification for their conduct, is the Oarm into which they were then thrown with re spect to the disposition of their Army. Ono would think, then, that now, when that Army has shewn itself as devoted an instrument for any unholy pur pose r.s they could have wished for, they would be magnanimous enough to pardon M. Bowring for their groundless fears. However forgiveness is it seems much rarer on the part of those who injure, them on the part of the injured. Mr. Bowring having a most urgent call to Paris on commercial affairs, Sir Charles Stuart applied to M. d e Ch a t ea ubriand, on the '2lst of October, for a safe conduct for him, assuring the French Minister that his objects were purely matters of business, and that his visit was only for a few days. rd. de Chateaubriand did not honour Sir Charles with an answer till the 6th instant (17 s l a ys!)--'flat answer was as follows : " MONSIEUR eit lIASSADEU —J'ai reeu la lettre que votre Excellence m'a fait I'honneur de m`4crire le 21 du mois dernier, et par laquelle elle faisait connoitre que M. Bowring 'Windt obtenir un sauf conduit pour venir passer six on butt jimrs k Paris, 011l'appellent ties intOlits de commerce.

" J'ai I'honneur d'etre, &c. " CHATEAUBBIAND." —The French Government are no ' , doubt at liberty to exclude whom they please from their dominions. We do not here charge them with a positive violation of international law towards a British subject ; but certainly while there is a treaty of peace and amity between the two coun tries, and commercial relation are very extensive, it does not seem stretching the powers of Govern ment a great way to use them in this manner, to the injury of the commercial speculations of individuals, acting in good faith under these re [MORNING Pow.] French Papers to the 13th inst. reached us last night by express. With the exception of a short communication from Spain, announcing that Hos taltich and Tarragona were occupied by the French on the same day as Barcelona, and that a vessel was allowed to the gallant Chiefs, Mina and Rotten, to convey them in ►self-banishment to France, these Papers are wholly barren of politicut intelligenoe. We received last night Ilaniburgli Papers to t h e Bth instant. I t appears that the gold Minty discovered in the , great chain of the .Ural mountains in Russia, are likely to be productive. Two Members of the Commission sent to examine their nature had returned . to St. Petersburg!), and reported that they were rich, particularly those on the East side of the Ural. if these mines should be worked, of which there can be no doubt after such a re port, that immense empire, whose military force already exceeds in numbers the united armies of all the other Powers of Europe, will also pos sess within itself .the means of bringing is easily into action, .whenever caprice► or ambition may dictate, 't'i►e poverty of the Russian finances has eitherto saved the Continent from subjuga tion,; this obstacle once removed, who knows how far, before many years, the domination of the Czars may extend [N rw st us.] It is justly observed that " the independence of the Spanish Colonies irs the interest, mere or less, of every country in Europe; and Spain herself, whatever she may think to the contrary, will probably not gain th e least b y the change."— The reasoning is obviously founded on the ex ample of the United States, whose commercial intercourse with us is so much more valuable now than w lien they were held in colonial depend ence, There are, however, several points to be considered ; and as we wish for the general good of all nations, though our first duty h to our own country, so we should hope that in establishing the' independence of South Ame rica the errors which attended North Atne tken 4410'0(1CM:1: will be avoided. The first and chief of those evils we consider to btr - the bitter spirit of animosity which the revo. ktionary vrar excited between the United States and the Mother Country, and which so long per vetted the policy of the former, but which is now happily much on the decline. Any fresh hosti 'Mit-, between Spain anti her former Colonies must be attended with similar results ; and for this reLson, among many others, we trust the at 'tempt will not be made. The next Pvii WOUld be, that the South Americans should fall into the hands of a democratical faction, who would este blish Governments unsuitable to the habits and interests of the people. This consequent:At Ism Lye think likely to be promoted by a war; and, therefore, we trust, that hostilities between Spain an d the rising States will not be renewed. [BRITISH. PRESS, 'Accounts from Barcelona (now held by foreign troo p s ) to o w sth, state the occupation of Terra• gona ilostalrich on the same day the Cata lonian capital was taken possession of. Addresses were pouring its on the French King from the . Royal Courts in different parts of France, cork. gratulating the fast.decaying Monarch on the t of his arms in Spain. How small a part of the. feelin.i, or a nation d 0 Iddre9l4e9"lol as these tipeak ! lanuis will soon be insensible to all the glories of this world , his end is fast approach. ire*; and lie is hardly expected to live out the arrival of Angouteme, and the triumphs preparing a celebrate the Duke's return, He MIS expected at Bayonne on the 24th, and at Paris on the .2d December. Accounts from Smyrna to the sth October state, that the Ipsariots and Hydriotes, among whom differences had unfortunately pre vailed, had been solemnly reconciled. Forty ships of war, furnished by the isles .of Spezzia, Hydra, and Ipsara, had united in the latter port, and set sail a few days after. This squadron was accompanied by six fire-ships, commanded by Constantine Canari, already celebrated by his successful enterprises against the two former Captain Paellas. Ten other armed ships were preparing in these ports, and were to join the former squadron, which had sailed with the intention of attacking, wherever it could meet it, the grand Turkish fleet. An engage ment was soon expected, as the Captain Paella, it was asserted, would not return this season to Constantinople, but winter with his fleet prin cipally at Mitylene and Vouria. The Pilote of Wednesday states the particulars of another par tion insurrection at Constantinople, caused by a re newed attempt to crush the Janissaries. This sta• tocracy has long been dangerous to its supporters, and carries terror into the very recesses of the Seraglio. On such foundations do the thrones, of tyrants rest !—they sleep in nightly alarm of rebellion, and the sabres and bayonets that gave them power are afterwards raised, in caprice or disappointment, against them, and lead them to a temporary dungeon. [THE TIMES.] Our private letter from. Paris brings with it an interest of a compassionate and melancholy na ture. 4 The condition to which the King is re duced cannot be looked at without uneasiness. Such glaring pomp-, and such loathsome evidence of mortality in the same object I.—their union, added to their contrast, is too much for the most indifferent eye. it appears that the precarious tenure by which the poor Monarch holds his life and crown, lets had in one respect an important influence on the immediate poli tics of the Ministry. The dissolution of the Chambers is to be delayed until December, lest its effects might be too thickly interwoven with those of another expected dissolution—in the absence, tnoreover, of the Duke of Angou leme, under whose luxuriant. and gratuitous laurels the House of Bourbon calculates torsome time longer to repose. The army of Mina being on the point, n$ is alleged, of a general disper sion, like that of Ballasteros, will only con tribute to increase the prevalent confusion, the dangers of Ferdinand and his Monkish guides, and the necessity of a powerful French force to pinion the arms of the Penin sula. Riego, we fear, is to perish ; but like other heroes, his voice from the grave may re animate the sluggish race whom in battle it could not rouse. Mina's example was worthy to in spire a breast like that of the Chief now mur dered ; and it is by Catalonia that at some day, not far distant, his fall is most likely to be avenged. Mina, Rotten, Milans, &c. are, it is said, provided with means of conveyance to Fiance or England. From treachery they can. not yet hope to be secure in Spain. [MORNING 1161tAL There is hardly a o? the Constitu tional party left standing hi Spain. The other fortresses are following the example of Barce. lona. It is gratifying to find that Mina and Rotten have found a n asylum in France. The Paris Papers of yesterday stated that they had obtained permission to reside in that coun try ; but we should rather judge it more likely that this was one of the conditions of the ca pitulation. Men with arms in their hands, and In possession of a place of strength, had still the means ,of obtaining conditions. The most interesting topic at present is the fate of Riego. We fear there is no hope for him. Our accounts of yesterday stated the fact of his condemnation an the 4th. It further appears that, on the following day, lie " was brought into the chapel." The Inquisition always sacrificed its victims with religious solemnity. Two acts of cold blooded cruelty—and as impolitic as cruel —have stained the annals of Europe, since the reign of terror and anarchy ceased in France, and during the existence of a regular Government.-- 'The one was the execution of the Duke d'En ghein, under the Consulate of Buonaparte ; and the other, that of Marshal Ney, in the reign of Louis XVIII. The death of Riego, should his execution take place, will be a third and more odious one. Not a shadow of crime, legal or moral, has been produced against him in the act of accusation. All.the fables of his having burned villages and hanged Priests, vanished. Th.• on ly substantial charge was, his having voted the ap pointment of a Regency for the purpose of con veying King Ferdinand from Seville to Cadiz. — If this be guilt—if it be treason, and to be punished with death, what streams of blood will flow upon the scaffolds in Spain I—But even though he should be the only victim, it will be a memorable act of cruelty, and perhaps not unlikely to produce severe retributionlt may be prudent for King Ferdinand to give quarter — not knowing but he may yet be in a condition to fear reprisals. Spain, though subdued, is not settled. But the monk, who is the Minister and Confessor of the King of Spain, is too vindictive to forego the interlace, too inhuman to feel the horror of the act, and too imbecile to perceive its dangers. We have lied recent evidence of the remorse of Buonaparte, and his curses upon those who had advised him to take the life of the unhappy Prince. It is no secret that Louis XVIII. gave signs of regret for the death of ‘Nehand of displeasure to those who inspired him with their own passions for the moment• Re certainly made a show of reparation to the Mar shal's family. We do not expect 'that Ferdi nand should feel remorse ; but very possibly a time may come for his bitterly repenting. We ere informed, on good authority, that Ferdinand, during the Constitutional regime, effected the most gracious behaviour to Riego—that he fiat tered and fawned upon him—affected to make him the depository of his confidence. We are assured and believe that during the periods of po pular ferment at Madrid he frequently re ceived Riego, and made him the depos i tory of his fears. It was probably in reference to these meetings that Riego, on his trial, appealed to the King personally for his respectful and dutiful demeanour to him. A. religious bigot is the most implacable of human creatures, and no doubt the influence of the Monk Saez will prevail over the recollections of Ferdinand. We understand the King of Spain is himself not much imbued with religious feeling of any kind ; notwithstanding the reports of his imbecile fa natism. But he is a lazy sensualist, entirely ruled by those about him, if they but leave him to his appetites and himself ; and there is, there fore, little reason to hope that any dictates of prudence or impulses of humanity will prompt him to prevent this horrible crime. Perhaps the Duke of Angouleme leaves Madrid in such haste, for the purpose of escaping the odium of such an act of sanguinary, dastard vengeance. But he will hardly escape without bearing some sprink ling of the blood of Riego on him, in his flight. THE DUKE D'ENGIIIEN.

BUONAPARTE. J. MURAT. No: IV. 12th year of the French Republic. This day, 29th Ventage, 12 o clock at night, I, the Captain. llajor of the Light Gendarmerie, went according to the orders ofthe General commanding the corps, to the house of the Ge. neral.in-Chief, Murat, Governor of Paris, who ordered me to proceed to the Castle of Vincennes, there to wait the further orders of General Hullin, commanding the Grenadiers of the Consular Guard. Arrived ' at the Castle of Vincennes, General Itullin communicated to me, Ist, the issuing of the decree of the Government of the 29th \Tennis., this month, st a ting that the ex-Duke D'Enghien was to be, brought b efore a miliutry commission, composed of seven members, named by the Gene ral, Governor of Paris : 2d, the order of the General-in- Chief, Governor of Paris, of this day, stating' the nomination of the Members of the Military Commission, in execution of the foregoing decree..—[ flare the names of the members are again enumerated.] And the decree further states, that the undersigned Captain.

The same order further states that this Cernmisgion will assemble immediately at the Castle of Vin cennes, to sit in judgment there, without quitting the place, on the accused, upon the charges announced in the decree of the Go vernment aforesaid. In execution of these arrangements, and in virtue of the orders of General Hullin, the.

The undersigned Captain Reporter afterwards received the followiag answers upon each of the interrogatories pro potinded, being assisted by . Citizen Malin, Captain of the lath Regiment, chosen Register by the Reporter. The ac cused was asked his name and surname, age, and place of birth. He answered that his name was Louis-Anthony-Henry of Bourbon, Duke of Enghien, born on the 2d of Augnst, 1772, at Chantilly. He was asked at what period he quitted France? He answered, " I cannot say precisely, but I think it was on the 16th July, 1780." That lie had set: out with the Prince of Conde, his grandfather, his father, the Count d'Artois, and the children of the Count d'Artois, Ile was asked where he had resided since his departure from France. Ile answered, "On leaving France I passed with my parents, whom Falways fol lowed, through Mons and Brussels; thence we went to Turn, to the King of Sardinia, where we ran - mined nearly Id months." Thence, always with his parents, he went to Worms, and abeut the banks of the Rhine. " Afterwards the corps of Conde was . formed, and I merle the whole Campaign. I had before made the campaign of 17112, in Brabant, with the Bour bon corps, and the army of Duke Albert." He was asked where he had retired and after the peace inadebetWeen the French itepu blic and the Emperor? He answered, "We closed the lam campaignin the vicinity of Gratz; it was there that the corps of Conde, which was in the pay of England, was disbanded—that is. to say, at Wendisch Faestrietz, in Styria," That he after. wsrds remained for his amusement in Gratz or the vicinity, al most a or 9 months, waiting intelligence from his grandfather , the Prince of Conde, who had gone to England, and who was to let him know the reception which that Power would giVe him —a matter not yet certain. "In this interval I asked permission of Cardinal de Hohan to preceed to this country tie I.ttenlieini in the Brissaw." That for the last two years and a half he has sojourned in this country. Since the death of the cardinal he has asked permission of the Elector of Ibulen officially to takecip his abode in thie country, which has been granted to him, not being willing to remain without the Elector`e consent. lie was asked if lie had not gone to England, and if that Power did not always give him support? Ile answered, that he hail never gone there; that England always supported hint, fur that he had nothing to live on. He was asked to gate why, as-the reasons which indUced him to remain at Ettenheim no n longer existed, a he p torown posed to settle himself at Fribonrg, i the Brisgaw, much less agreeable than Ettenbeim, where he stayed only in expectation of the Elector allowing him the liberty of hunting of which he was -very fond? He was asked if be kept up a correspondence with the French Princess retired to London ; if he had them for some time? He answered, that na turally he kept up a correspondence -with , his grandfather since he had left Vienna. where he had been to accutnpany hint since the disbanding of the corps; that he equally kept up a- corres pondence with his father ; that he had not seen him, as well as he . could recollect, since 1794 or 1795. Be was asked what rank he held in the arm y of Conde ? Ile answered , Corn mender of the advanced _ gua rd before the year 1796. — Before that canipaign he ranked as a volunteer at' the heed-quarters of his grandfather, and always since 1706 its Commander of the a dvanced guard ; observing that after the army of Cantle marched into Russia, it was mustered into two corps, the one of infantry and the other of dragoons, of which he was made a ColOnel by the Emperor, andehat it was in that capacity he joined the armies of the Rhine. lie was asked if he knew Gen. Pichegru ; if he bud hail any tranaac tions with him ? He answered, " I have never I believe, seen him. I have not had any transac tions with him. I know he wished to see me.

DISTRESSED GREEKS. - MANSION-HOUSE. —Yesterday the LORD MAYOR waited on by Mr. Doxatt, of the city, a Gentleman, of great respect ability, in consequence of the Mansion-house report of what took place relative to the three Greeks who applied to his Lord ship for relief. The object of the visit was to inform the Lord Mayor that there were funtlA in the hands or the Greek Com mittee ready to be advanced fur the effectual atuastance of the petitioners. Soon afterwards a Gentleman who holds the situation of Se cretary to the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, at tended,' having derived his information from the same source, for the purpose of exonerating the Society from an imputation which was no doubt unintentionally made, but was calculated to do injury if not publiclf removed, It appeared that a Gen tleman, who called himself a Governor, informed his Lordship that the Society could relieve no foreigners except those who were in this country six fiftieths: This was quit a mistake, wad his Lordship might well have expressed his surprise at sc strange a system of exclusion, which the Society were so far from putting . in practice, that they 'were at this moment ready to give a specimen of an opposite dealing towards the petitioners. I'he LOUD NAY on said, he was glad the matter was set right, and that the gentleman who,,said he was a governor had mistaken the regulation to which belied alluded the day before, and which he (the Lord Mayor) had frequently called his at tention to in the course of the conversation. It certainly ap. peered odd, that such an exclusion front the benefits of the society should exist; but the ground of that exclusion was.not without its weight, although not calculated to jtrstify the-refu sal to deviate in cases of extremity. The Secretary said the Society never contemplated an exclu sion of the kind, and the gentleman who called himself a gover nor Must have fanciedhimself into that situation, from being a mere subscriber, by mistake, as he had shown a total ignorance of the most important rule. The Loan Ltronn observed, that the rule, as it bad before been stated to hint, ~sewed to make it a condition that those Who were - to be relieved must undergo the probation of six months' hunger. Mr. Bowring had, he said, read the report of the application of the Greeks with surprise, and came to assure his Lordship that the Greek Cominittee of Friends were posilessed of hinds intended for objects such as his Lordship had heard described ; that the three persons who had petitioned were well known to him and that committee, and had been relieved, as a letter which he held in his hand, sanctioned by the committee, would show; the publication of which he believed to be most fleet*. sary. It was as follows ;.-- My Lord—l beg leave to state to to your Lordship that ever since the arrival of the three Greeks, who yesterday' ap plied at the illansionJunise, they have been housed and board ed by the Greek Committee of the'Society of Friends ; that a passage with every accommodation was provided for them to enable them to return to the Morea, and that at the moment of the vessel's departure they deserted, and refused - to go. I hope all publicity will be given to this statement, to counteract the injurious impression which the representation of those in dividuals is likely to produce. " I have the honour tobe, my - Lord, &c. " JOHN BOWRING." Mr. Bowring then said that the three Petitioners had come over to this country with several others of their countrymen who had been refused succour or admission into any other kingdom on the Continent through the influence of the Holy Alliance; that they had been treated with the utmost kindness; and that a ship had been provided to take them back ; that the three Petitioners, when the period of embarkation arrived, de. serted and disappeared, and their companions in misfortune the fo P r et t i i t l i e o m nera to started from the River a day or two ago; and that those who deserted were now under the roof of an ndividual, and living at the charge of the Society. The Loan MAYOR thought that probably feared their treatment elsewhere would not be so indulgent as that which they had received in this country, and that they had A very natural inclination to be in no hurry to depart applyr T r i r ' e t to w l o t Bowring. n t l l ) l e A re u s them fa y oi rd o e v g i e t r t . yhw assistance.te iaelsi said,e f l an l y t T d h l a t li h t em e t y n h c e k t n c c o e e w g a a ru Friends'r isteYpwSociety h v e at l' well. advised on the previous day should be changed for that which Mr. Boviring proposed, and expressed the utmost aat i s f act i ot ; at the new light which had been thrown upon the question. GA MESTE RS.. Bo w-tyr REET..:—Yeaterday this office was crowded to excess by the fraternity of {;amblers, in consequence of information being exhibited against several or them for playing at hazard. There were six persons charged, but there were 22 informations, each defendant being .accused of several distinct offence*. Air. Adolphus was the Counsel, and Mr. Lewis Norton the Attorney for the prosecution, and Messrs. Andrews and Botch attended as Counsel for some' of the defentlants; The first case called on was that of PHA ICING THOMAS WELSH. Mr. Runt:worm, the Magistrates' Clerk, read the informa don, which serfotlit that the defendant, On a certain day, to wit, the 26th of September, 1823, in the parish of St. Martin, u„the..rields, was a pl a y er and - adventurer at a certain unlaw.- ful ftnd deceitful game called " Hazard," contr►ry to the statute of the 12th of Geo. IL Mr. AnoLpuus opened the case. Thomas Jackson stated, that he lived at Caroline . p lace, Brompton, and was a glass -cutter. The first time that ever he saw Mr. Welch play at hazard was about one o'clock in the morning of the 2bth of September, at No. 8, Oxendon-street , Coventry-street. He put two dice in the box and called a main, putting down some money at the, same time. Two or three other persons covered his money and then they played. They " set" him as it is termed. The witness here descnbed the minutia; of the game. The defendant was to all intents and purposes playing at hazard. Mr. Welch, when the witness had concluded his evidence in chief, stated that he was totally unprepared to meet the charge ; for that he was brought up at a very short notice by a writ of Habeas Corpus from Whitecros.s-street prison, where he was confined for debt. The summons was served upon him en 31onday, but he understood from some friends, with whom lie advised upon the subject, that in consequence of his confine ment he would not be called upon to defend himself, at least for the present. lie had been unable, for the want of means, as well as of time, to employ counsel, and he begged that the case might be postponed until he should be able better to pre pare himself. Mr. Mixstrum. said, if he had been aware that Mr. Welch had been without counsel, he should have been more particular in his examination of the witness; and under the circumstance s he would put it to the candour of Mr. Adolphus whether he would press the case against the defendant any mrther. Mr. ADOLPHUS said he must press the matter to a convics tion, and he had very good reasons for doing so ; but there being two other informations against the same defendant, be would make this proposition—that the conviction in the present case should not be returned until he could have an opportunity of defending himself by counsel or otherwise upon the two , others ; and if he succeeded in obtaining an acquittal, the con. , viction of this day should be withdrawn. The present chargef however, having been entered into, it must, as the Magistrate well knew, be proceeded in. The defendant was convicted in the penalty of 541.,with the reservation agreed to by Mr. Adolphus. The next case was that of THE KIND V. WALDItON KELLY. Before the defendant was called upon to plead, Mr. BOTC H desired that the witness might withdraw, and that his client might not be called to stand forward in a conspi cuous place so, as to be known to be the person accused. Tins wa s done, an d the defendant and others were placed indiscriminately togethe r ' Mr. Jackson, however, on being called, immediately pointed out Mr., or as he calls himself " Captain" Kelly, and gave similar evidence against him as to his playing at hazard at No. 0, Oxendon-street, on the 26th of September. Cross-examined by Mr. ROTCIL—I went there for the pure pose of looking for a man who owed me money. I knew he went there constantly. My motive for putting down the names of these gentlemen was Ibis: I knew that this debtor of mine could find money to stake at the gaming-table, although he could or would not pay me, notwithstanding repeated and earnest solicitations. thought it extremely probable that mail whom I saw there were in a similar situation, and I considered that such a system must be injurious to the public, and there fore I determined to do all that could be done to put a stop to it. Mr. ROTOR, followed by Mr. ANDREWS, then took an 01 3 ' jection to the information,i on the ground that the house was not described by the number, &c. Unfortunately ganiino-houses were to be found in almost every street in that part of me tropolis, and the particular house out to be pointed out, in order to give a defendant an opportunity, if he could, of contradict ing the statement of the witness, because it might happen that he was at play at the time mentioned , and yet not in the par ticular house mentioned by the witness. Mr. ADOLPHUS contended, that in the present case, a de scription of the house was not necessary. Mr. LEWIS NonvoN (the Solicitor for the Prosecution) was called, and swore that lie knew the house No. 8, Oxendon• street, and it was in the parish of St. Martin-in-the.fields. Mr. Ro l ex.--How do you know it is in St. Martin's parish Mr. NonTom.—llecause I paid the parish rates. Mr. ROTCH.—Are you employed by the informer? Mr.N 21.—1 am employed for him, but lie (1000, pay me. Elizabeth,Alf.
