PARIS PAPERS. EMS, SEPT. G. , --We have received by an ex traordinary courier, the Restanrador of Madrid . of the Ist of September. The Regency having established the principle that all the property belonging to the clergy, re gular and secular, shall be fully restored to them, the, purchasers. of the said property have been authorised, for this year -only, to collect the ;crops of the ecclesiastical lands, but under the express condition of payipg the rents, &c., due from the said lands to the legitimate proprietors. A decree of the Regency of the .15th of August annuls all the dispositions of the act of the soidisant Cortex, which abolished the seiguorial rights, krusett,by the name of seignorios jurisdietionales. --.(Etoile.).fit • is altogether natural for malevolence to avail Itself to the time employed in the attack of the Tratadero, and the absence of all news from Spain, now almost entirely restored to peace. In cousequence, we read yesterday that llasteros has .again taken up arms, and that Rea ß r a -Admiral Hamelin has been recalled, after an unsuc cessful attack upon Cadiz. Ballasteros,. far from having resumed * his arms, has written to the Regency. There has been no attack on, Cadiz. ;-Rear-Admiral tramelin has not bees,s dismissed,. but has resigned his command in. - . consequence of an infirmity, of which he ~has sent a certificate under the hands of his, physician. The great strategists of the opposition journals will not find our correspond ent in error in relation to the Trocadero. We - tell them that our correspondent is acquaint. ed -with Port St. Mary and the Trocadero, which these g entlemen only know . from the map, and. that- he referred not to the fort of the Trocadero, properly so called, but to the tongue of land on which that fort is placed, and which is also called the Trocadero. lie knows sell that Matagorda, and even St..l oseph, are two other farts, constructed at the point of the Trocad are over against Puntules,which is built on a point of sand, which also bears the name of Puntales, and this point is at the end of the causeway which unites the Isle of Leon. We further tell these gen! (e melt, that the English and Spaniards give the name of Trocadero to the isle which the French call Saint Louis, from the name of the fort upon it, which is separuted by a renal from that which the French call the Trocadero. The,same name given to different places has produced confu sion in the heads of the able men whom we combat. ' The Peninsula Trocadero, comprising the forts Trocadero, St. Joseph, and Matagorda, certainly shuts up the entrance of the inner port, leaving between the fort Matagorda and Pontales a channel only of about 500 toises wide. When disposed to 'give lessons, we sltuulditot expose . ourselves to receive them. A malady produc e d by excess of fatigue has obliged Rear-Admiral Baron Hamelin to quit the command of the naval force before Cadiz. This General officer has ex hibited the greatest zeal and unbounded devo tion during the whole time of the difficult coin. mond intrusted to him. lie enjoys the esteem and affection of all the Commanders of the vessels of the squadron, as also of the Generals of the land service With whoM he has acted, and 1%110 have uniformly praised his active co-operation.--- (Journal. des. D Allis.) The afficial news which the. Moniteur gave yesterday' has not had importance enough to paralyse the effect of the different reports cir culating in Paris for the last three er four days. --The uncertainty as to the events before Cadiz, which is prolonged much beyond the term at which the Treasury Journal promised important results, has given the manufacturers of news occasion to feed the avidity of those who are curious to listen to them. There is no sort of rumour which does not prevail ropecting. the affairs of Cadiz. To . ..day, for example, Ad miral Ilemelin is not the only person who has left an important command. A Lieutenant-General is mentioned as having been superseded, and eves.' the-cause of Isis removal is pointed out us con meted with the arrangements which preceded the arrival at Port St. Mary of the Prince General- Constilutionnel). • A Ithors,4ll the official bulletin from the army does not announce the resignation of Bear- Admiral Hamelin, it is nevertheless true and it was yesterday reported on 'Change, that General atorde,•oult had also resigned, ar.n that he had •hoen replaced by Gen. Bournsont.- , - (Journal des Paris). The Editor of the Drapeau Blanc has been condemned to fifteen days' imprisonment and 140 francs fine, for a letter to Frayssinuus, Grand Muster of the University, condemning the system of education in France,-(Etoile.) We.were astonished yesterday in the trial of the Drapeau Blanc, that the public Minister should have thought himself authorised by the law to take no notice of the acknowledged author of an improper article, and to direct the laws solely against the responsible Editor. It seems that M. de It Mennais, the author of the article in question, thinks as we do. in an article in the Dropeau Blanc, signori by him, herepreliends very severely the ill consequence of a proceeding which spared ilte4uthtir of a writing to punish the editor. This strticle,lar from offering any trace of the docile and conciliatory tone 'lately observed in the Bra. ;lean Blanc towards the Ministry, is ,rentarkable for its bitterness and acrimony, which, seems to prove that M. de la Mennals has tuken no :part in the arrangement- which his colleagues way have concluded.—Courisr Francais.)

BAYONNE, AUGUST 30. [EXTRACT OF • YIIV4TE LETTER - 4 "By my letter of the 28th inst., I informed you that the cutter Activt, armed by the:Revolutionists of St. Sebastian, had faUen into the poirer of the vessels of the flotilla, ably commanded by M. Villeneau. " I learn that this Commander repaired on the 26th of the same month, with his prisoners, to the camp before St. Sebas dais, in order that Lieutsnant-General Count It icard might interrogate them as to the state of the place. ' " . .I hear positively, that when it *as captured by our cruisers, the Active was repairing to Londo:i, in order to solicit succours in money, provisions, and- ammunition, in conse quence of the critical situation of the place. M. Pezaela, an officer, was the bearer of dispatches to this effect to M. Jabat, Minister from the Cortes to England, to the . Consular Agents of the same Government, and to many Spaniards, resident in London." The following is an extract of a letter from a French officer d'Etat-Major' dated Port St. Mary's, Aug. 23, 1823 : ,` I arrived here on the 10th with the Prince Generalissimo ; our troops suffered much in their march from Madrid; in La Mancha the dust was insupportable ; the towns are far distant from each other, and no 'water was to be found. The recruits complained, but were satisfied by the assurance that on their arrival their fatigue,' would end, and Cadiz be ours. His Royal Highness was well received by the priests anti populace -of almost every town, and regaled with feasts, processions, and benedictions ; the middling class of people never ap peared those, and the inhabitants of Manzsnares, El Carpio, &c., belonged to the revolutionary volunteers, and are tainted with the prejudices of the times, and fled from the revenge of the Royalists who accompanied our columns ; it has been im possible to rescue their houses and property from the effects of this feeling. " Our situation here is not quite agreeable ; the grand pro ject of his Royal Highness hits not hitherto succeeded, although threats and des mayens secrets have been employed to reduce Cadiz r. we have many sick in the- hospitals of San Lucar, Xeres, Bums, 31edina.Sidonia, and tins place; the respect able residents have retired to the vineyards and farms, as the unhealthy season approaches ; the heat is suffocating ; le prate haunts the minds of the men, who remember that last year they formed the cordon re, to save France from its effects, and know themselves to be now in its cradle; at this moment the thermometer is at ninety. " The Prince uses every effort to inspirit the troops ; his cares are incensing. Reports had been in circulation that his presence was calla for in Catalonia. His Royal Highness is sworn not to desert his followers; .he lost no time in reviewing the troops, and pointed to . Cadiz as a reward of the brave. His worms infused a new soul into the bosoms of the brave. There is but one desire in the, army—' to terminate the war.' Could we fight, victory is ours; but the position of Cealiz is unassail able; marshes and water surround it on every side; we see no enemy; some wandering bands infest our flanks and rear ; Mainchini in the mountains, and Fonfreda in the Condado, hover around, cut ofF our stragglers, but fly the moment our troops approach, and only intercept our communications. " In this cid de sac we await events ; September approaches; the Prince feels our situation, he knows the soldiers wish to attack the enemy—that our fine army already sufli2rs much from sickness and fatigue ; his mind embraces all the circum stances ; to remain or retreat would be unworthy to( French men—it would be dangerous ;to conquer is difficult. In my next I hope to give you the detail of great events." Cu ICII CuteritaTzit, .Avo. 11, 1823. 1 TO ,TaistEs Pow ELL, Esq. late Collector of Customs at this Port: • .

The object is to obviate the use of Horses. The Apparatus is made light and separable from tin' Barge, and it is found that two men can propel a barge by it, at the rate of five miles an hour.

Thal arrival of our Express yesterday frun Paris, enabled us to anticipate the content; .ht► French Papers received in usual course, a n ( as Expresses are rarely sent off from Paris on Sundays, it is bx no means probable, that we shall have any fertherinteltigence from France or Spain this day. We have nothing, therefore, to.add to the views which we have already laid before our Readers, respecting the state of af fairs in the theatre of the war. The opinion that the French have beau repulsed before the Trocadero,—that their difficulties have in creased,—and that serious divisions have even broken out i n Camp, is en tertained. It is the Duke o f ANGOULEME'S very generally useless, however, v.ith the imperfect Mama tion which we at - present possess, to speculate on these points. A few days will probably fur nish materials for forming a definitive judgment respecting the issue of tlse contest. Even if the Trocadero should fall (and as it was token b y the French in the last, war, it is very likely that it may be a second time captured)/ it will be very far from deciding th e f a te o f Cadiz. In the mean time, it must be.admitted on till hands, that the prospects of Spain are .at least...brighter than they were a month ago ; and that the inflexible firm ness and unyielding patriotism of the Constitu tional Government justify ,the hope that it will come out of the struggle triumphant, and that the freedom and independence of Spain will be established on a secure basis, either by the expulsion of the invaders from her territory, or by the terms of an honourable peace. EXPRESS FROM PARTS. CAPTURE OF THE TROCADERO BY THE FRENCH. We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday and of yesterday morning by Express, in conse quence of the receipt, in that Capital, of a Tele graphic Di:Traci), announcing the important fact of the Trocaderm having been carried on the 31st of August by the French troops. Although we lament this misfortune to the arms of the Consti tutionalists, we repeat what we have stated in a preceding article, that it is very far from de ciding the fate of Cadiz. Indeed, front the meagre details given in the Telegraphic Dispatch, we indulger a hope that the French have not even taken the whole of the forts on the isthmus, culled the Trocadero, and which must have mounted more than 50 pieces of cannon, the mber taken by the assailants, and mud have been guarded Lyn greater number of men than are stated in the French account of the killed, wounded, and prisoners.

EDlTOR—Eticouraged by the remarks made by you on Saturday, respecting the above Loan, I am inclined to•offer the following for the consideration of the holders of the bonds issued by the late Mr. ZEA, anti shall be obliged by your inserting it. As far back as the month of December, 1821, it was made known through the medium of the Press that Signor Gaul had distinctly stated at Bogota Mat " Mr. Zea had no power to rzegoelat: the loan, and that he was not the authorized Agent of the Government:" This remark was overrultAl by - statements made by the Contractors of the Loan, and to convince the public that it would be recog. nized, several statements were put forth as coming front their Agent, with 'extracts of letters from General Soublette, giving advice of Bills drawn on account of that Loan ; the delusion was kept up, even until as late a period as the lath of the last month, when a statement appeared in the Times, signed " J. D. Powles," in which the Public were told " that the time is near at hand when this truffle in false hood and misrepresentation will be at an end ; " and that the remarks of the Author of a Pamphlet, entitled . " The Contractor Unmasked," is, in every material .particular, '• UTTERLY rALsr" and " UNFOUNDED. M r. Powles concludes his advertisement by positively stating, in the Most direct terms, " that the whole of the Columbian Ministers had, by unanimous consent, decided on the recogni. don of Mr. Zee's powers to raise a Loan." The decision of the ' Senatecompletely decides that Mr. Zea had no authority to raise- a Loan ; so fur may the writer of the paragraph alluded to congratulate himself on some PART of the false sTATESIENTS [being brought to public view, and I agree with him, that the time is not far distant when more will be known. Under present circumstances, I would strongly recommend to the holders of Colombian" Bonds, the • propriety (or the necessity) of calling an immediate meeting, and request ing the Contractors to lay before them a statement of theit accounts relative to the Loan in question, as well as all Dail, ial correspondence on 'the subject, and also, to urge the necessity of their paying into the Bank of England such balance as they may have unappropriated, for the ultimate benefit of the Bond 'Holders; tor such balance cannot be considered in any other Way," thin their property, and ought not be left as a fund on which speculative operations in Colom bian Roods MIGHT be carried on, and when that amount is ascertained,.the unfortunate holders may know the chance they have of receiving even one more dividend !' If the Government of Colombia remain as inflexible as they stated they were, very little hope can be offered of more than a small part of the sum originally subscribed being returned ; for they, in disavowing Mr. Zen's powers, decide that the sum of nearloo,oool. Old 10 per Cent. Debentures (which forms a large proportion of the 1130,0001. raked by`the Bonds now in circulation,) will not be paid ; to which -add the ninnies paid to Mr. Zes for private purposes; the expences attending the Loan and various other Charges ; but they may be better eluci dated by an attentive discharge of • the duty imperiously im posed on those who not Onl7 call the Meeting, but who under take to press such questions as may be the means of procuring the best information from the Contractors respecting the appro. priation of the monies raised on the security-of Columbian Bonds.

Ms Royal Highness charges me to render an account to your Ekcellency that by the conclu sion of the convention with General Ballasteros, G oteral Andress. Qunglune, Constitutional Com mander of the Fort of Perras de Sampedro, situ.' ated near the great communication of Madrid to Murcia and Valence, and the provinces of Chin- Cuenza, Guatlalaxaraand Cuidad given in his submission, tts welt as that of the troops under his command. The orders of Gen. Ballasteros have not had the same_ result at Car. thagena and at .\licaut. It was impossible for the officers, with the ,flag of truce, to gain ad. mission. A Colonel of the Army of Ballasteros, the famous Barrow, wished to fomeut : an nsurrection owing to the pro , cribed conve flan. Ballasteros headed his troops, no one dis obeyed, and Barrena was obliged to take to flight- Two other `superior officers have also left the army. This army 'has gone into its new can tomputs. General Molitor has ordered General Bonne main, who was at Baza, to set off for Malaga, and, on his route by Ahneira, to scour the coast. At the same time he is going to posh General Loverdo front Grenada, in Malaga, where the remainder of the corps of /ayes re mains ; and it is said he has embarked, and has been replaced by Ringo, who is animating the public spirit, but has as yet produced little effect. —Not one of the officers of the etat-major of Zayas would serve under his orders, and have demanded of General Molitor their submission. Gen. Vinfort, who was still at Murcia on the 16th of last month, set off in pursuit of Torrijos, who left Carthagena with 500 men for Totana, on the line of operations lietween Murcia and Lorca. The inhabitants of Totana, at the ap proach of our troops, took, up arms, and drove away Torrijos, causing him considerable loss.— They continue, with great activity, the prepara tions against Cadiz. All means are employed to augment the flotilla to 42 gun-boats, during which time they are employed in making . the necessary reconnoissances for the future operations. R,ear•Admiral Hamelin, owing to his bad state of health, which no longer permitted him to com mand the squadron, has been succeeded by Rear- Admiral Rotours. (Signed) Count GUILLEMINOT. There is also a report from the Duke Coneg- Haim to the Minister of War, dated Torredem barra, the 30th August, of an affair at Aitafulla. Ile states our loss at 17 killed and 86 wounded. It is certain that the enemy's loss was, on the 27th and 28th, 100 men, and more than 300 wounded. For several dap past they speak of Morino, avd several persons suspect his intentions, and believe that he hits not submitted with a good %bill to the Regency ; but we do not credit the report. The Count de Carthagena, with good faith, acknowledges the Regency. He also was sincere when he joined in the conspiracy of the guards on the 7th July, and he was always on the side of the strongest party. I3adajoz has provisions for a year and a garri son of 6000 men. Ciudad Rodrigo is determined to defend itself. The Captain General of Castille can do nothing with 2000 soldiers of the Army of the Faith against the Guerillas commanded by tf.e Cure Bareo, Valdeara, Martin, Bareo, and the Empe cinado. From Guadarrama to Cebero not a Frenchman is to be found. [From the Etoile of yesterday.) Letters from Cadiz, Tarifa, :Lod Rota affirm that the Cortes have re , isted the French propo sitions, stating that they have the, affairs of Naples and Portugal still in mind, and without the mediation of England they w ill not come to any arrangement, he same letters an nounce as positive, thn t on the 18th and 19th, 60 vessels, laden with pro% isions, nod two trillions of piastres, coining frOm America, entered the port of Cadiz. No symptom of ma lady has manifested itself. It is computed that in Cadiz there are •25 thousand militia, and a fine corps of 4,800 men, well armed and equipped. N A DRID, SEPT. 2.—The movement of Gene ral Bourck, to cut off the retreat of the Consti tutional troops coming from Orense, has been attended with great success.

FOralGti FUNDS.-Nothing doing except in Spanish 13ands and Colombian.—The Spanis h Ambassador has sent a letter to the Foreign Stock Exchange, stating that he has taken off his objec tions to the new Spanish Loan for svoightv rea sons, and accordingly acknowledges it. We have pleasure in referring our Iteadera to an able and interesting communication from Mr. OWEN of New Lanark, in answer to a second at tack which has been trade upon that enlightened and practical Philanthropist, by the Presbytery of the Parish iu which his village is situated. It is probably in the recollection of our Readers, that we, some months since, deprecated the in. quisitorial power assumed by the Presbytery, of endeavouring to force the, Calvinistic Creed of the Kirk of Scotland into a private semi: nary of education. We lifted up our voice then, as we do now, against the principk ton tended for by the Presbytery, and against the right, which they seem to arrogate to themselves, of interfering with private concerns ! As to the allegations advanced by them respecting the . management and condition of New Lanark, these have relation to matters of fact, and are triumphantly refuted by Mr. Oi,vE N in th e mate- ment contained in our present paper, as well as by the united testimony of all the pettotts who have visited his establishment, from all parts of the world. Indeed, it is well known, that Mr. Owes is so far from exerting his influence for the exclusion of the Bible and the study of religious exercises from his school:, that divine worship is daily practised, and scrip tural instruction is regularly given, in 14s own family,, where his authority is para mount, and front which he could therefore have banished them at his pleasure, if he hat! been so disposed.—As one of the chief °lista/4 . s to the adoption of Mr. OwcN's Plans has been the unfounded apprehension that his syetots, would be prejudicial to religion, it is g tifying to think that every fear upon 1 0 point must now vanish before the plain and un - , answerabl e statement o ta of .facts a m cts hich he has laid before and probably du" , entertain sonic peculiar notions on religious sub jects.lf,oiricaete whatever rs i t t io a wi s : a n t : t ol i iii t ) t ys d i b s ut i: . o t l i t i b i Ise right scheme m e t o:t f i a s s o s p oti i a : t u t ::: is, however, something entirely distinct from hi s religious g op ro in u i tt o t i l 's 1 , ra be accomp anied t the practice of his arrangements, there can by nn by p p , o p h reh t e h l o is s i e on wl t t i o lat ad t o he p poi:. . tive advantages derivable from the latter 0 " I o ; f at a id as he does not attempt to I evil which may arise from the former. fears which I have been expressed upon this • gab* some unknown and urinlct:ritauji:
