111 E ,LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY tracts from the Morning Pqpers)November 13. [Thr. TiMES.TJ We present to-day a great mass, of Spanish news, of as much importance as might be ex pected at. the conclusion of the first act of the Peninsular revc , !ution. Mina, as we stated on Tuesday, has ratified the surrender of Barcelona, and the place will have been taken possession of on ,the 4th instant. Tarragona and Dosta!rich follow, we may almost say, of course. It is impossible to blame the gallant Mina for what be has done ; but it is somewhat ominous that he should have been acceding to the absolute Mo narch at the moment when Ballasteros was ex claiming against the ingratitude with which his occesbion had been rewarded. In the mean time, however, it is proper to mention, that Ferdinand has suspended all proscriptions or deportations till he reaches Madrid himself. — .We shall praise this act when we know the result. James the Second sspended the execU tion of the Duke of Monumou.th till he had ,seen him, and humanity would have augured well from the interview : the subsequent execution, therefore, of the Duke did but evince more strongly the ,cruel nature of the King. The Grandees of Spain have signed a liatterinend dress to the Duke of Angouleme on his victories over their country. It appears by the French papers, that Prince Talleyrand ostentatiously displays himself at Court, and is every-where well received, even by the Duchess of Angou letne. Are we to infer from this that he is acquitted in the judgment of the French Court of the active partimputed to him in Savary's work, in the destruction of the Duke d'Bughein? ENEw Tunes.] It was some time ago stated that there were two classes of Bankers at Paris who were dis posed to contract for a Loan to the King of Spain. One set insisted as a preliminary that he should recognise the former Loans ; the other that a he should not. By private letters of Mon day from Paris.. we learn, that in the latter class was a M. Cassart, who was finally ac cepted as. Contractor by the Spanish Govern ment. It is said his Broker brought out the Bonds for a new Loan on Monday on the Ex change at Paris; but that they were very ill • received by the holders of former Bonds. This' circumstacce, added to a report of Ballasteros having issued a rebellious Proclamation, rather seemed to cast a damp on yesterday's market. Spanish Bonds of 1821 fell to 26.1 0 and those of Bernales to 181. Consols closed at 83-.—Two failures were announced yesterday, which created some interest—one of extensive business in the West India, the other in the Baltic Trade.—lt is 'ascertained by the accounts from Paris, that the two vessels, the Perk and Arethuse, arc bound icr the fiist instance to Teneritfe, where a num ber of French vessels captured by Spanish cruisers had'been taken, in order to prevent their being condemned, and passing from the reul owners; whence these frigates will proceed to Mexico. [MORNING POST.] Paris Journals to the 11th instant reached us bra night by Express. They inform us that the fate of Catalonia was decided, the French having taken possession of Barcelona on the 4th instant, conformably to a Convention concluded on the id. General Vasserot had been appointed Go. vernor of that important place, the submission of which, attended as it was to be by that of Tar. raliona and ilostalrtch, would be most unfortu nate if there were any truth in the reports brought by private letters from Paris yesterday, that" Bal lesteros and his,. Army had positively hoisted the standard of revolt against the King of Spain."-- Nothing of this kind is stated in the Papers, but they mention contests which are said to have taken place between . the French and the -soldiers of the - Faith at Saragossa, in which the latter had had some wounded, and bad been compelled to retire 'from the town, with their Chief Miralles. This is not the first •time that disturbances of the same nature have eccurred to Saragossa—they happened long be fore the liberation of the King, and itis not sur ittising that the. spirit from which they proceeded (that of persecution towards the Constitution ilista)oliould have caught fresh activity from his example, and broken out into acts of still greater injury and violence. The Duke of Angouleme, after having reviewed the French troops at Madrid, and received the congratulations of the Civil and Military Authorities,. tegether with a most servile address from the grandees of Spain, quitted that. capital at one o'clock, P. M. on the 4th instant, on his return to France. If he should have inade no stay at Bourdeaux on his way, we may expect to hear .by the next urrival of his having reached Paris. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Our readers will remember, that on the French entering Cadiz, we were told by the French Papers that two fast-sailing ships were dispatch ed" rom that port on a double destination. They were in the first place to proceed to the Canaries, • in order to rascue the French prizes captured by Spanish privateers and carried thither, and then they were to proceed to South America, to com municate 11w happy news of the liberation of Fer dinand. These vessels actually sailed form Cadiz on the 4th instant, 45 Teneritie is only six or eight days sail from that port, they • ought to have arrived there on the Itth at farthest. Now, we have letters from Tone riffe to the 'list, inclusive, up to which date no such French ships had arrived. The inference, ,therefore, is, that the mission to the Canaries is it mere colouring, and the ships have been or tiered to proceed direct to South America. This proves two things Ist, That the French Press is used by the Government in practising decal). and,%dly, that France must have designs on t South America, which are., at least, of more im portance to her than the rescuing the property of French merchants carried into Teneriffe, tp a large amount, from the hands of the privateers. It is not, however, so much French force that we demi in America as French intrigue. We must never forget that the French do not meet us in South America as an enemy that we can grapple with, but act through.the medium of a part of the population of the respective States. They count on the clergy for instance, who in some of the States have still great power and great influence, and we may be sure the Monks and Friars will always be on the side of despotism and misgovernment. We are much mistaken if ere long the French do not give a new turn to things, both in Mexico and Colombia. — The extensive emigration of Spanish Constitu tionalistis to South America, will also neither benefit the Independent Cause, nor promote the English interest. Deceived in their fond hopes of the regeneration of their country, the failure of which they attribute as much to the faithless and Machiavelian conduct of the Eng lish Government, as to the imbecility of the Cortes, and the treachery of: , their leading men, the Constitutionalists now entertain the most bitter enmity towards England. As far as their influence in South America extends we may be sure it will not be exerted in our favour. [MORNING ligitALll.] Accounts from Gibraltar to the iSth were re ceived yesterday: The members of the Spanish Cortesond other leading Constitutionalists, who had taken refuge, resolved upon closing their ca reer with au act of authority which accords little with the want of energy they showed in the ex ercise of power, and the impotent condition to, which they are at present reduced. Their reso lution is to issue a Manifesto, declaring that Fer dinand, by the violation of his pledges and his oaths, has forfeited all right and title to the throne of Spain. This step proves either of two things—or perhaps both—that the refugees have no hope whatever from the clemency of Ferdinand, and that they contemplate the possibility of a re-action in Spain. A variety of opinions are expressed by persons arrived from Cadiz and Gibraltar, as well as in private letters, respecting the causes of the failure of the Spanish cause. The most general one is, that the inertness of the Spanish charac ter, and of the late. Ministry in particular, was the great evil, and that the Cortes, as , was not at all to blame. Some vio lent measure—others that may be called ener getic, were proposed, after the arrival of the Government from Seville, at Cadiz ; but the imbecility of the Ministry defeated every thing ; and the Cortes, being a deliberative body, did not dare to exceed its own attri butes by encroaching upon the Executive. Among the measures suggested—and which, perhaps, might have kept the Constitutional cause alive still—was the continuance of the Regency. But the Ministers wanted courage to hazard so de cisive a,step, and the idea of giving offence to England was urged by them among other grounds for their opposition. There was a sort of blind delusion, even among the well-informed of the Spaniards to the very last, that England would not look quietly on whilst France was taking uncontrouled possession of Spain. I t does not appear that the honesty of the Spanish Mini sters can be fairly questioned. They have even by their Bight, and by their utter hopelessness of being allowed to return to their country, proved the want of any understanding between them and the French. But they were wholly inadequate to the crisis of Spanish affairs. No one of them was a man of any political expe rience. They knew but little of the practice of political business ; and whatever might have been their dispositions, it is now generally said, and even admitted by some of themselves, that their accession to power was fatal to the Constitution. The preceding Ministry bad more decision, more energy, more ardour. So well aware were the. French even at this, that when the change of Ministry was pending at Madrid, hints were thrown out by the French agents that the removal of one party,and the succession► of more moderate men, might lead to pacific arrangements. But woe to those who are so weak as to take counsel of an enemy ! One of the strong holds of Mr. Pitt upon the people of England was the undisguised eagerness of the enemy to see him removed front the helm of the State. We are informed that the Spanish Ministers were by no means unsuspicious of the duplicity of Ferdinand, and the probability of his breaking every pledge, and revoking every promise, upon getting into the safe keeping of the French. They obtained these pledges from, in order the more effectually to de grade him, and in the hope of their being by pos sibility available at a future day, rather than with any hope► of protection for themselves. The last Cadiz Decree of Ferdinand happened to be shown in the presence of some Constitutionalists soon after his departure ; half the paper chanced to remain blank ; one of the leading persons present observed upon this, that the blank was left for a new Decree of Ferdinand, revoking the rormer. [BRITISH PRESLI The career of tyranny and blood in Spain is running to its goal with rapid wheels. The fiat of lUego's murder has at length been pronounced, and Angouleme, who handed him to his blood hounds, in whose clutches he now is, has been named by the tyrant, Duke of the Trocadero.— Ferdinand, it appears, does not wish to scent lUego's blood ; and, therefore, while the deed of death is enacting, he will remain at a distance in Toledo or Aranjuez. If it were an auto-dale, in which a score of victims were to die in flames, the despot, with his family, would be present ; but a single mur der, and of a man with whom, is his Palace on the Manzanares, he so often sate, and smoked, and jested, calls " busy meddling memory" up again, and provokes recollect►ons w hi c h even he would fain be rid of. There is an all wise Providence who,, for his own inscrutable purposes, suffers these things, sometimes, for a sparer, to, go, on ; but sets them down in his ine vitable lists, for future retribution.. Ile will remem ber those days of blood, and visit them yet on the tyrant with awful retribution. The Minister and his hell-hounds may run riot for a space, covering Spain with proscriptinn and massacring its pa triots who are still within their grasp; but foreign bayonets cannot always keep down the spirit of resistance. Vengeance wilt be treasured up for :future day, and the period will "again arrive when Spain will rise against the tyranny that tramples it, and the tyrant and his familiars will call in vain for that mercy, which their relentless hearts denied to others. What a double tie of disgrace does the Title of the Trocadero bring with it, both to the heartless imbecile who has devised it, and to him on whom the desig nation has been conferred ! What must that man be, who seeks to perpetuate' the dis grace of Spain by a record of this descrip tion ? and what feelings must Angouleme himself have, to re ceive the worthless favour from such hands? The modern Nero seems to be urging his measures to the 46 very crack of doom." Could he be obeyed, Spain would be now only one vast prison -house, and the scaffolds in every province would float in blood. The scenes of terror D'Aunoy was enacting in Cadiz fully display the spirit of Ferdinand's Government. Arrests were thickening under his secret man dates in every quarter, until arrested by 13our mont. Latre,,the ex-Constitutional Commandant, and the Duke del Marque, a Member of the Cortes, were both arrested on the 20th, and but for the interference of the French General would have been hurried off , to dungeons at Madrid. If any thing can rouse the fallen Spaniards, it will be execrable rind outrageous tyranny such as this.— rhey must • see that, with the tyrant who now reads on Spain, there can be neither faith, nor rust, nor mercy, expected.. suc' BOXING. ORAND BATTLE between J. HUDSON and WARD, FOR ♦ STAKE OF TWO HUNDRED SOVEREIGNS, TUESDAY, • AT zfiOOJAMY nunsT. Much interest has often been excited by pugilistic exhibi tions, and the plains of Aloulsey has been the spot where no vices have often tried their skill. The present combat excited more than ordinery interest, from the character and the forts of the men. Ward was considered as a man of between thirteen and fourteen stone weight,. a Jon Belcher . Qf his day, ,an out. arul-outer ; but he had once done wrong in fighting a cross with Abbot. Ile is a fine figure of a man, about five feet ten : and Josh Hudson was the only man Ward's friends cut out for him to exercise his skill. Early on Tuesday morning the road was thronged with specu lating, and a parcel of every other character, from the Senate to Charley's Westminster-pit, and the Stock Exchange to Petti coat.lane. Joshua appeared in the ring well kept, with every fighting man at his station. - Ward did not come to the scratch for some time. Josh complained enegetically of being kept on the cold ground, and at length Ward appeared, and they shook hands. The seconds were Snringand Belasco for Ward, and Randall and Peter Crawley for Hudson. ' Average betting, 6 to 4 on li r a rd, After shaking hands in the finest condition, an amateur ob served truly, that Ward, when his arms were doubled up for first hit, was considerably the heaviest man. He was all bones and muscle. Hudson, on the contrary, looked • more like an Alderman after feasting, and showed neither bones nor muscle. What he had were emerged in fist. Round 1. Both Wm, but Josh. made the play by a left handed hit, which told as slightly as the one returned upon him. A hasty exchange of hits, without any harm. Fastness was the order, and Josh.. was thrown from a close. :3. Ward's neck was scarrified by the ropes in the struggle for this fall. Josh.. made the play, and his adversary retreated into the corner a-la-liandall. Josh. followed up to make fight,' hut Ward evaded him, got away, and made a rally, and pasha head of Josh. in thegraap of his left hand, And .weevers with the right ; Josh. was undermoot in the fall films the close, and Ward, smiled with confidence. Two to one on Ward--a begging. 3. A real fighting round, both having the roast of them. Josh. advanced up to his adversary's head, as a game buffer would at a bull, and a terrible hitting rally at the nob alone followed.— Ward shewed himself the best at tactics, and. hit and got sway with surprising dexterity. In t h e grapple Josh. was again worsted and floored. The blow caused the fall, but it was not considered a knock-down. • The fight was considered half over, although Ward shelved first claret from the knock, as Caleb Baldwin termed it, meaning the nose. 4. To give an adequate description of the manner in which this round was fought is n ot within the means of our inform ant. Josh. made die play, and Ward, best upon his legs, used his ability to avoid him. NVhen they met in contact, the most manly courage was displayed, and the hitting was heavy. After rallying at each othereti nubs until the Chancery suit was doubtful, josh. had a turn in return, and Ward was thrown weak, with his 'feet been the lower ropes. A Westcountry man called out, " Why what be e a struddeling far 9"—The odds kept up at 2 to 1 on Ward, although both were piping. 5. A round without 'mischief, from tiresome toil, and both down. 6. Hudson made the play again most undauntedly but Ward lilt, got away, and had the best of fighting. Hudson ran in wild, and notwithstanding the word " Steady" from one of his seconds, he shoved as much manly treasure as a gallant tar would in boarding an enemy, but after exchanging blows in and out of rallies, Josh. was floored. 7. Ward placed a good hit upon his adversary's throat, Josh swallowed the claret arising therefrom. Ward broke his ground to all parts of the rin.—n amateur sang out, " Don't break out of the ring.") In a bally it was equal fighting, but Josh threw his adversary. Hudson's superior feeding shewed itself the piper him ; he put himself first in the attitude of sin. enraged Bil lingsgate virago, and then folded his arms; taking care of his distance from the enemy. Ward was too tired for offensive, operations, and Josh. said, " 'Why not stand to me, and fight ?, I don't want to stay here a week." At the turn to be placed a good left-handed body hit, but he was thrown. ;:Josh. was bleeding a light stream from the left eye, but he grassed his adversary. 10. In this round Ward placed repeated hits on his adver sary's head without being returned upon. Josh. was bleeding and. c nearly a nkr. He had o chne in the round, and he was flooted.— b 6 li to e 1 on Ward,' and it was thought the fight was over. 11. Josh. made a lucky impression upon Ward's right eye, which he rolled about in true harlequinade. • 12. Hudson under every disadvantage made the play, and had the best of the round. The forlorn hope was the order of fight ; Josh. nearly blind, and the other as weak as a kitten ; Josh. got an easy fall. 13. This round won Hudstin the battle. The hit in the eye, with many other bodily bruises which a Sessions lawyer could not enumerate, tried the thorough breed of Ward ; but how. ever good he was hit to dorsc in divers places. 14. lie had a trial in this round but a push would have won it., Josh. gave away no chances but bit for the last floorer, and on Spring getting his man on his knee his head dropped mo tionless, and he was deaf to the welcome word of " The umpires proclaimed Hudson the winner. Both had their quantum of punishment. Josh went to dub and was bled, and the looser was worst of the two. Hudson awoke out of a kind of ten minutes' trance, anti said to a p pal---" Jack, I've got five guineas, my winning against Lennys winning, go and hedge to it, and put two or three into my pocket, as you can't lose." ItEetanics.—lt is said Hudson won by goodness alone, and he is the bravest man that ever peeled since Cribb, in his day. There is no denial about him—he will serve as well as he served ; and to his extraordinary pluck he has a constitution like a Margate pony. Ward like most other Pr°ficient 3, has been too much in the sparring school, where he has been taught to mind his }tarries, instead of his pupil instructing him at the turn loose, lle proved himself a most expert boxer, and may be considered very formidable as a brave young math—Aare): the Jew, heat Lenny a ft e rwards. Five to four on Lenny, who had no chance. The ring was broke, so that the spectators and conveyancers were so blended together that an imperfect sight from the waggons could not be had. Aaron is a good little man, full of pluck and science, and too heavy for his antagonist. FATAL ACCIDENT. -- OD Monday last (the init.)

EDlTOlt—Necording to the doctrine zea lously piopagated by the apostle of Jacobinism and of Radicalism, which I apprehend to be one and the same thing, Liberty and Equality, are the unalienable right of al,l men. Those words have no doubt a pleasing sound, and are well cal culated to convey to the unreflecting multitude the idea of something inexpressibly just and highly advantageous. But before it yields implicit faith to the truth of this doctrine, the cool and reflect ing mind may be allowed to make some enquiries into the precise signification of these talismanic words. A. state of absolute liberty is a chimera, wholly incompatible with the disposition and passions of mankind, and as little to be found amongst the wild Indians of America, as amongst the more civilized nations of Europe. The very idea of it is incompatible with any notion of social order, and its partizans must either be prepared to admit that a state of anarchy or barbarism is the most conducive.to human happiness ; or that what they preach is altogether impracticable, and therefore absurd. The advantages immediately , derived from society are too obvious to bear a de nial, whilst it may be safely asserted that man is essentially and instinctively a social animal. Scarcely does he enter into life than he begins to feel his dependence, and this sentiment accoms panies him throughout the whole of his career, and terminates only in death. The feebleness of his infancy places him under parental autho rity, while ,his passions, his necessities, and his weakness, in a more advanced age, com mand his submission to the laws of social order. No sooner does he begin to reflect, than he finds it for his interest to be obedient to the laws which procure his individual advantage, whilst they secure the general welfare of the community. These laws do not deprive him of any portion of liberty, that can in the least tend to his own comfort ; they merely restrain him from doing that to others, which if done to himself, must prove contrary to his interest, or destructive of his happiness. Man enjoys all the freedom of which his condition in this world is susceptible, when his property, his person, and his life are effectually protected by laws, which permit the practice of every virtue, and condemn only the vicious and criminal propensities which too fre quently sway the human breast. As long as man remains exposed to the baneful influence of his passions, an influence to which he must be ever more or less subjected,his absolute liberty would prove injurious to his fellow-creatures. How, indeed, are we to reconcile self-interest, ambi tion, avarice, with absolute liberty ? Are not these passions the main spring of our actions ? And must they not ever prove destructive of ab solute liberty.? The wild Indian, it has been said, is born free. True; and he roves freely through his native wilds, and he will seek in his native woods the means of satisfying his appetite : but whilst he boasts of his freedom, will he turn a deaf ear to the suggestion of avarice ? Will he fail to resent the encroachment of another tribe, no less free than himself ? No, we find this pursuit of simple nature, this unsophisticated child of liberty, no less avaricious, no less ready to oppress his neighbours, and far more barbarous and sanguinary, than the most cruel oppressors of the human race. The freedom which he claims for himself, he denies to others ; and like the revolutionary demagogue, he talks of liberty, whilst he dooms his fellow men to captivity and death. The idea of perfect equality is no less absurd, and still more unnatural, than that of absolute liberty. Some shadow of the latter may be found in nature ; but of the former, not the least trace can be discovered. The productions of nature are not more varied than are the mental and bodily qualities of men : and where this is the case, how can perfect equality exist. Men are all born equal, says the deniocratical advocate. Yes, men are indeed all born equally to contend through life against passions, which it is their own interest to subdue ; and find in the grave the term of all their worldly hopes and fears, to re ceive in another world the punishment or the reward, which their actions in this will have merited. In this, and in this only, consists their perfect equality ; in every other respect, it call net possibly exist. But, it may be added, that - men are all born with equal rights. True again. Then are all born to inherit those rights which social order has assigned to each individual mem ber of the social body ; and claim from the laws protection for their person, and the free enjoy ment of their own property. These are the rights of men; and these are rights which he enjoys as long as he remains an honest man, anti a faithful subject. But, if we may judge from the conduct of the French Revolutionists, they gave to the word equality a very different signification In no country, indeed, and under no form of Go. vernment did less liberty and equality exist, than under that which took for its motto, " Liberty, Equality, or Death." Where VMS liberty, whey one opinion alone was tolerated ?

Is it an empty name, or useful only as an instrument of discord ? No, there does exist a national equality, that which alone should satisfy the utmost wishes of a reasonable being. It is the equality which the British Constitu tion grants to every subject; which distributes justice with an impartial hand to every 'class of citizens, which protects the poor and the lowly, as well as the rich and - the great of the land. May every Briton duly impressed with the truth, turn a deaf ear to the voice of popular demago gues, and ever cheerfully lend his helping hand to support the venerable fabric with the existence of which, his peace, his happiness and his pro sperity, are essentially connected. A. P• DAMP WALLS.—The following method is red cemmended to prevent the effect of damp walls upon paper in rooms. Line the damp part of the wall with sheet-lead, rolled very thin, and les' tened up witl small copper nails. It may be jai' mediately covered with paper. The lead is not to be thicker-than that which lines tea-chests. Mr. AMIN'S Method of Preserving Iron and Steel from Rust. —Greasy and oily, or resinous) substalices have hitherto formed the basis of the different preparations proposed and employed for this purpose, but in the former, •when rancidity - an acid l i a s t p te r r o , dux e d n whi ch dry corrodes comest e i i•o o n n ; are apt to crack, and thus afford an inlet to moisture.-- But melted caoutchouc, or India rubber, found to possess peculiar advantages in pre' serving the surface of iron from being acted on by the atmosphere, arising from its little sus ceptibility of chemical change when exposed to the air, from its treacly consistence under all ordinary temperature, from its strong adhesion to the surface of iron or steel, and, at the same time, from the facility with which it is removed by a soft brush charged with warm oil of turpen tine. The finger, or a soft brush, are the most con venient implements for applying the caoutchouc; and as soon as the article has been covered, it ought to be set up ou end, in order that the ex cess may drain, which will take place in a day or two. The temperature for inciting caoutchouc is nearly equal to that required for the fusion of lead. Rice GLUE.--An elegant cement may be made from the rice flour, which is at present used for that purpose in China and Japan. It is only ne' cessary to mix the rice flour intimately with cold water and gently simmer it over the fire, when it readily forms a delicate and durable cement, to p p t t+ ps e t e rl i obluiltyaadimlsiwraebrilnygnadlalpttheed pfourrij)ooisieilsnogftcoogmetmheorn tasteful ornaments which afford so much ernploc card, &c. in forming the various beau tiful an meat and amusement to the ladies.
