THE LONDON JOURNALS. D4IILY Extracts from the Meriting Papers, July 1. [THE TIMF.S.] The continental papers . which arrived yester day describe the counter-revolutionists in both Spain'and Portugal as advancing successfully to the attainment of their object ; but with this dif ference—that those of Spain are commencing acts of vengeance, before their triumph is complete : those of Portugal, with the King at their head, .whose work may be thought finished, still pre serve the language of moderation.--We present a decree by the French Regency of Spain, which not only equals in cruelty some of the proceed ings of the horrible French revolutionists, but even adopts their provisions. All those who have assisted in the removal of the King to Cadiz are to be put to death, upon an ex post facto law of treason: their property is to be confiscated immediately, till their persons can be got, at. All the members of the Cortes, assisting at the deliberation at which the removal of the King was ordained, are in like manner to be de stroyed ; and, which' is most remarkable, simple identity of person is all that is ne cessary- to' prove at the future trial. This horrible proceeding is copied from the French Jacobins,• by whom sentence of death was pro nounce& on absentees ; and all that was after. wards necessary to conduct the accused to the guillotine MS' identity of person. If this was confessed,. the instrument of death was ready.— One would really suspect,- on' reading this op palling decree, that it had issued' from, or been advised' by, some "secret enemy of Ferditiand, intent upon his destruction ; for let it be recol lected, that' the Xing is' in the bands of those against . whoursentence of death and confiscation of property are thus: pronounced by the King's friends. Were we in the place of those' so sweepingly doomed to destruction, we should say to his Majesty, as the King of Prussia said to the Jew, " Dear Ferdinand, nothing but death shall " part us: your fate is sealed up with ours." %Vith' respect to Portugal, a circular letter from Gerr. Rego orders the Government of the King to be proclaimed - . That this document is directed by the French, .and that consequently the anti-revo' lutionary party of Portugal acts in concert with the French, is clear from the following expres sion :—" That the troops and the people ought to /4 expect at the hands of his Majesty the consti c• • tution which he will give them."—it may be apprehended that the access of Sir Robert Wil son to the Spaniards has been impeded in Perth.. gal. d'i'e have published all the tidings that have been received on this head. In a letter, however, from Sir Robert, dated Oporto, the 4th, he speaks in high terms- of Spanish prospects. [MORNING CHRONICLE:3 Three Lisbon Mail's were yesterday an nounced as having been received at the Post office, the last bringing letters and papers to the 17th ult. Ix' the three packets are several pas sengers, among whom is Don Ahura, and other Members of the late Cortes or belonging to the Administration, as well ns some Italian and French Officers, who went to Lisbon to join the liberal cause in the Peninsula. The contents of the Papers we yesterday published up to the 10th ultimo, and to-day we make further ex tracts of a subsequent date. We have seen se veral private letters ) stating that a consi derable sum was expended among the soldiery and officers—the men being paid at the rate of thirty-five shillings per head, under which engagement they revolted. Now the work is over, they do not hesitate to say that if another party would pay them 40s. a piece, they would ,be ready to undo what they have just done. We therefore wish the Absolute King joy of his acquisition and prospects. One of time first acts of the King had been to annul the decrees issued by the lute Government against Count Amirante and his followers. Previous to the entry of the King, the saloon, in which the Cortrs held their sittings, was shut and locked by un officer, at the head of a party of troops. The new War Minister had issued a cir cular, directing that the recruiting which had been ordered for the purpose of strengthening the army, should be suspended. Orders had also been is sued to restore time municipalities of the several towns in the kingdom to the footing on which they were previous to the Constitution. A Board of Censorship, composed of five Members, had also been established, prohibiting any book or paper from being printed, unless accompanied by a certificate from two of the Censors. Orders had been issued for the re-establishment of the intercourse with all the ports of the Brazils, which had been by .the Cortes suspended, as far as related to those provinces in a state of hostility with the mother country. [lthrrESlt MUM.) Tt would appear that matters -are not yet airy ' ranged between •Russia and the Porte. The Ham burgh Parrs, rece'i'ved `=yesterday state that dis. patches had hee'n rece)ved at Vienna from the Austrian Ambassador , at , St. Petersburgh, with the resolutions of the Russian Cabinet, relative to the negociations.,with Turkey. These dis. patches were accompanied by another Russian Note to the Divarq " couched in strong terms, In which several' of the, demands , of the Porte, among others the ef*uation of /he Asiatic foi'. tresses, are peremptorily rejected, and Russia, so far (ruin yielding any of her past pretensions, again demand a categorical and final answer to all the points In ilisPti(e.,We have often said that the eye of the itussian never slept upon the Turkish provinces. The policy of Russia ever has be(;11 to renew her prkensitrus at a future day, though silo may Lave beeu.lodiliged to withdraw them for a wblre. Turkey ictoo rich a prey ultimately to escape the fangs of Autocrat. Ile now regards the successes of the Greeks with an evil ey , i, and would gladly seize on any plausible pretext to Step in as an armed mediator, and dispose his hordes over the European provinces of falling Turkey. nis interference would be death to the rising liberties of Greece. He would strangle the infant freedom of that interesting people iu his remorseless gripe. The policy of Eng land is completely opposed to the plans of monstrous aggrandizement of the northern despots: She has already interposed / and should again protest against them in the most decisive manner, should the pretensions of Russia be continued. There is now little doubt that the Greeks, if left to themselves, will secure their independence. Des- titute as they are, comparatively, of power or re sources, they are more than a match for the armed rabble of their oppressors. The' speech of Mr. Gordon, the other day, at Aberdeen, re futed numberless prejudices, and gave, from the best observation and authority, a true picture of the Greek cause. There is no friend to huma nity, to religion, or to rational freedom, but must wjsh that gallant people full success ; but the af fected friendship of Russia would be fatal to them. The views of the great despot are all selfish, slavish, and interested ; opposed to the freedom of Greece, as much as they are to the independence and repose of Europe; which he has again disturbed by his intrigues. [MORNING lIERALD.) The Spanish Constitution may be said to exist in that " melancholy inverted order," in which Mr. Burke described himself in one of the most eloquent of his pamphlets. It has seen, like him, its progeny—the revolutions, of Naples, Pied mont, and Portugal gone before it to the tomb. The Constitutions of Naples and Piedmont ex pired under the operation of very natural causes —.foreign force aided by domestic treachery.— But the death of the revolution in Portugal has proved as easy as unexpected. It is obvious that the Government was feeble—but why the soldiers should turn round upon the work of their own hands is not equally clear. The fear, perhaps, of a French invasion may have had its weight with thom. The King of Portugal has promised a Constitution to his subjects, and his personal character has appeared to advantage during the short existence of the Revolution. But it would not surprise us that his promise was per- I formed' with the maturity of Counsel which has' made the King of Prussia's promise of a similar boon pass' into a by-word. Every thing in Portugal looks like the restora tion , of the old Government—so much so, that it is not unlikely a denunciation of the Spa nish revolution will be soon issued—perhaps even' a emu- &armee of Portuguese sent in aid of the Duke of Angouleme; One thing seems certain, that the refuge, at least of Portugal, is cut off from the Spanish Constitutionalists,- should they fail ;- and we know, from the events and vicissi tudes of the last war, how valuable the mere re fuge, is in a military point of view. As Spain was the source from which the defunct revolu Lions originated, so it is there that the elements of resistance are evidently strongest, and - that the most severe and Eangulnary re-action will 'follow, if a counter-revolution be effected.—` Some Paris Journal's of Saturday were received - ,yesterday, containing a Proclamation , • of.. the Madrid Regency, denouncing the Regency and Cortes of Cadiz as traitors.• But those who de nounce must first have their victims in their power. From. the history of the last War In Spain, the Isle of Leon seems to promise a secure retreat to the Cortes, for a suffi cient length of time to enable the 'Con'. stitutional Generals to act, if they have resources and are well disposed. Mina ulone has hitherto been tried. Ballasteros, who confessedly has fromiten to fifteen thousand disciplined troops, has done nothing worthy of his reputation. The Paris Journals of Saturday merely state that he is pursued by the French General Molitor.— Whatever the French Government may say, it does not act as if it looked upon the war as de cided. The formation of the Army of Reserve is hastened, and several regiments were ou their march to reinforce Moncey in Catalonia.. LMORNING 111)ST.1 The Government of Spain has not yet, since it transferred itself to its new seat, had the oppor tunity to explain to the friendly inhabitants of this distant country the principles by which its recent conduct has been determined, nor the character under which it is now desirous to be considered. Whenever this necessary explana. tion shall arrive, together with such an authen. ticated statement of facts as must be inseparable from it, we trust it will be found that the Spanish Cortes have not adopted any measure in violation of the Constitutional rights of the Spanish Crown ; or, if urgent and evident neces sity have driven them to any such measure, that they have been cautious to limit it in duration as well as in degree to the absolute demand of the crisis, We wish this so earnestly because we are persuaded that no Government can enjoy any extensive or permanent dominion over the popular mind in Spain, unless the principles of Monarchy are largely blended in its Constitu tion. If the character, the prejudices, the intel ligence, and the interests of the population of that country had been left undisturbed by Fo reign interference to assume their proper and natural controul over her political institutions, we entertain, no doubt that eventually the Mo narchical - principle would have appeared inter woven with the whole frame of her Government, in as much force as it can any where possess, without manifest injury to the welfare and happi ness of mankind.. There is, however, no error, no inconsistency which the Corte', can have com mitted, that ought to have any effect to abate the zeal or relax the efforts of the lovers of freedom on its behalf, so long as it remains the only rally ing point of Spanish independence, and possesses the influence to stimulate brave and generous Spaniards to combat against the invaders of their country.---The Regency "of the Faith," effects to be enraged at the indignity offered by the Cortes, as it alleges, to the Spanish Crown. As if any other indignity to 'a Crown could equal that of assuming its functions 'under 'the protec tion of foreign arms;' as if any other injury to an independent Monarchy, even that of its tem porary subversion, by the efforts of domestic fac tion, is not exceeded when its name and'emblams are prostituted so far as to serve for the apology and the mask for • foreign usurpation. This affectation of anger on account of the violated dignity of the Spanish Throne, on the part of a thing calling itself a Spanish Regency, but which is in truth merely a part of the camp equipage of the Duke d'Angouleme, would be only ridi culous, were it not accompanied by the fullest and frankest declaration which, since the world began, any men in authority have put forth, that the promises of moderation in which it has hitherto so much abounded, and the show of gentleness which it has vaunted so loudly, have been purely hypocritical and deceptive, and by the pretty distinct intimation that vengeance and cruelty will now be entitled to their full arrears. On reading this confession, and this threat, con tempt and honour will struggle in every manly and honourable bosom for the predominance. Let the insolent invaders of Spain, and the base puppets whose motions they direct, pursue their infamous career of perfidy and murder; Huma nity may be consoled by the reflection, that their final defeat and destruction are rendered more probable by every fresh exhibition of treachery and guilt. [NEW TIMES :1 The expresses from France yesterday brought the closing price of the French Funds on Satur day, 88f. 25c. A report was circulated in the City, that the Cortes had obtained an armistice of eleven days from the French. The Procla mation of the Regency, given in the Paris Jour nals of Saturday, renders this rumour very im probable. It denounces as traitors the Members of the Cortes who countenanced by their pre sence the deposition of the King ; orders, that the property of those who aided in his removal to Cadiz shall be sequestrated ; and declares, that the Officers and troops of the line and militia who have attended the King to Cadiz shall be held responsible for the safety of the Royal Prisoners. Nothing but strong apprehensions on this latter point can have induced the Allied French and Spaniards to treat with the rem nant of the Cortes.—Sir W. A'Court is said to' have arrived at Gibraltar, there to await the liberation of Ferdinand.-- The advices from Lisbon are to the 17th. The inconsider ' able agitation caused by the late events was rapidly subsiding into perfect tranquillity. It is said that the King had appointed a Committee of Eleven to remodel the Coustitution.—lt is stated that Private Grenadier Wilson had made his way from Oporto back into Gallicia ; but, if we are to' believe some advices ; not without receiving some striking marks of the' gratitude' felt by the people of Portugal for his volunteer assistance.. " Private accounts," says an Evening Paper,l " 6 state that Sir Robert Wilson, in returning from Oporto with his Aide.de-Camp, was very roughly handled at Braga by the populace.' Fortunately for Sir Robert, the interference of the troops, who were called out, r escued him and his Aide-de-Camp from the popular fury, which bad placed them in' ieopardy." .—Fortu nately for Sir Robert !" Fortunately for the cause of, Spain and of liberty, through out the world! Lamentable indeed would it have been that all the hard-earned laurels of the Hero of Gallicia should have been crushed and trampled under foot. Long live the Fride of Southwark and the dread of France, and long may the Spanish Campaign be remembered!, A LES, The tong - projected road from gewton to Builih, which forms a direct line between North and South Wales, and the nearest route from Liverpool to Swansea, is at length couipleied. The opening of the toad took place on the 2d inst. and as benefits of great importance arc anticipated therefrom, both to the inhabitants of the district through which it passes, and to the public in general, it was thought fit that the event should be marked by some ceremonies suits., ble to the occasion. Accordingly the Royal Dart stag_e-conch, which is to run weekly on the line of road between Newtown and Llandrindtxl "%Veils, during the summer:Months, commenced running on that day, and on its arrival at Llanbiater it was met by the gentry and a large concourse of people of the sur rounding district, the coachman and horses were decorated with ribbons, a procession was formed, and loud end hearty cheers . were given by the whole company. The party then ac companied the coach in its route, and when it came to the bridge newly built over the Camddwr, the loud cheering was repeated. They then 'proceeded on the road to Llandewi he ,at which place and the coach in e cOursaof the after the procession stopped, noon went to the place of its destination: As the lahouring men gen try, nn to` d who had worked on the road had conducted' themselves during their stay in the district , in a p eaceable, quiet, and praiseworthy na entered, into, by the gen eafrsalythsthcreiPetitirenee was ral o l f lh a e nex lY cellent dinner, which was rravided for such as were present, amounting to about one hun dred, at Llantlesvi, a repast which they gratefully partook of, and where they spent the evening with great cheer illness and good humour. The amount of the subscription also enabled them to be 'regaled on the following day with bread and cheese, and a hogshead of ale, at Penybont. All the proceedings on .this interesting occasion wer e ex ce lle n tl y co n ducted b y W. D. Field, Esq. and the Rev. E. Powell. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on Wm. Pugh, Egg. of Bvialowarch, Montgomery shire, for his indefatigable labours in effectin_g the completion of the road, through whose patriotic zeal and unwearied per severence, difficulties the most disheartening were overcome, and obstacles the most discouraging were removed; indeed his exertions were deemed to have contributed so essentially to the attainment of the object, as to be marked in a very distinguish ed manner among the proceedings of the day, his name was mentioned with no small respect, and his meritorious conduct was applauded with great enthusiasm. We feel disposed also to remark, that a portion of the road, from the picturesque part of the country through which it passes t will be not a little ad mired by those who are fond of beautiful scenery; and as the line communicates with the canal at.Newtown, which has a communication with the sea and navigable rivers and canals of the north of England, it is calculated that it would ultimately become the track of conveyance of heavy goods from the menu facturingcounties to a cons id e rable part of the sonthern portion of the Principality._ ShrewaYury Chronicle, June 27.)

BERNE, JUNE 17.—The Directing Canton has addressed the following Circular to the Governments of the other Cantons : ' " News of the highest importance, and of a serious charac ter, tending to excite alarm in our country, and to cause disor der and dangerous divisions, oblige us to make to you the fol lowing communication : " Last Autumn, during the stay of the Emperor Aletander at Vienna, Baron Muller, the Swiss Charge d'Affitires, solicited an audience of his Majesty, to present to him his respects as a Friend and Protector of the Confederation. " M. de Muller and other Members of the Diplomatic Body could not obtain the audience requested, but they received a friendly letter from Count Nesselrode, in which his Excellency informed them that his Majesty most ardently desired the hap piness of the Swiss, and professed the greatest respect for the authority of this Government. " This letter has given rise to a most criminal intrigue ; it has been falsified anti filled with the most offensive expressions both from Count Nesselrode and the Emperor. A criminal hand, accustomed to the labyrinths of the most detestable po licy, especially on the affairs of Switzerland, has given to this Note quite a different character, and circulated copies in seve ral Cantons. " llappily, the author of this forgery is known, and pro per measures will be taken to unmask him. The real Note of the Minister is subjoined; it will be seen that it contains no menace, nor any phrase which can excite the smallest suspicion of the friendly sentiments of the Russian Monarch towards S witzerland." THE AUTHENTIC NOTE. " The' under Signed has received, the Note which Baron Muller addressed to him on the 17th of September, and lost no time in laying it before the Emperor. His Majesty is chained at seeing the sentiments and wishes of the Swiss Government towards him, and takes the most lively interest in the happiness and prosperity of the Swiss Confederation. As the good understanding of all the Members of the Con federation will insure the tranquillity and happiness of Swit zerland, the Emperor hopes to find a new proof of it in the wise measures which the Swiss Government might adopt against the disturbers of public order, especially at a time when some wicked individuals have endeavoured to make Swit zerland the focus of their criminal projects. " Sept. 30, 1822. (Signed) " NESSELRODE." PALSIFI ED' PHRASE. The Confederation may depend on the support of the Em peror Alexander, by conforming its conduct to the principles followed by the four great Powers of Europe. All tolerance must have an end, especially with regard to dangerous men of all nations; who have taken refuge in Switzerland, and who found there an asylum and protection. It would be also desirable that the Federal Government should think of making some reforms in its oivn body, especially with re spect to those individuals who repose no confidence in the Cabinets of the four Powers, and who give no hope of repent ance in future. SCHAFFHAUSEN, JuNE 17.-A Journal of this city con= tains the following passage, which appears to be half official : " Public and private accounts mention as the principal propa, gator of the false Russian note, an intriguer who made himself very notorious during the French' Revolution, and whom report mentioned sonic years ago as designed for a diplomatic situa tion in Switzerland. It is much to be regretted, that the mea sures taken lry the police to secure his person have failed.— Next to hint is Barrot, lately arrested in the Grand Duchy of Baden, *ho has committed a series of the basest and vilest actions; and by the means of two passports, made out in dif ferent names, repeatedly contrived to elude the vigilance of the . poliee, sometimes assuming the mask of a Carbonaro, some- , times perhaps acting the equally dishonourable part of an emissary and informer. It is said, that in this latter capacity he reeeiVed a salary of 400 francs per month; last Autumn he was lb Lucerne,. where he wanted to indnee various persons to commit a terrible deed; but the . proposal having produced a challenge, he declined it, saying it was no disgrace to decline a challenge provoked by a difference of political opinions. It is remarkable that his name is not found on the list of persons suspected and denounced for such opinions, which was lately of: A third person of the same class is sometimes in switzerland, sometimes in the south of Germany, especially in the south_part of Baden, and last Autumn was in the north of Italy. Ke has abused the hospitality which belief in his papers procured him, to carry on the basest intrigue. A neighbouring Authority h as b een app lied to to deliver him nit, but no notice seems to have been ta.en of this application. Paw): xr•on•r, JUNE 22,---;The Hanoverian Government has issued a notice to all vassals z whose fiefs in the kingdom have been held of the Prussian Feudal Courts, o apply within six Weeks for Vtie inveatitare of those fiefs, to the Royal Chain tier of Fiefs of the kingdom of Hanover.. The King of "Wurtemberg intended entering Plankton on 'hia.way from Stuttgardt to Luis; he stopped to change horses near the city, where Baron Wangenhenn, his Minister to the Vet, Was ready to receive hint. We learn that the day before he left Stuttgardt, his Majesty received by an English Cabinet :messenger, dispatches from Mr. Canning. THE GREEKS. ME Ar 111 N ee 6 tift w g A to ß o E k ß p p la E c E a N in iN A A b l e rt r o d r ee T u ll o E n G F ß r E i n da g y S. , in Dempster's Hotel, for the above purpose, when ALEXANDER BANNERMAN, Esq. was unanimously called to the Chair, and opened the business of the Meeting. Ile had already received several contributions, and among others, he wits happy to acknowledge that o f one o f t h e Members of Ma rischal College—and it was with pleasure that he noticed the presence, on this occasion, of the Principal of that University. He then read the Resolutions and Address of the London Committee, which were loudly applauded. Mr; Lc BANNERMAN, advocate, proposed the Resolutions, which set forth, that the Greeks were now engaged in the third year of a war for the recovery of their libertytat it was the duty of every Christian coaimunity to promote their success— and that a Commitee be appointed to communicate with the London Committee, and 'to promote subscriptions. Mr. OcMIDON, of Cairneas, then rose and said, that, after what had passed, he felt it incumbent on him to make a few observations, in seconding the Resolutions, and he regretted that the subject had not fallen into abler hands. He said, " You are perhaps all aware, Gentlemen, that this is not a cause in which 'a state has embarked to acquire a greater num ber of subjects, or a greater extent of territory. It is a struggle of a whole and brave people, possessed of all the energy and courage which ennoble man, taking up arms, resolved to perish rather than submit to the inhuman and barbarous inroads of the Turks." Mr. Gordon.then entered into an animated and Flowing description of ancient Greece. We reg re t t h at i t i s impossible for us to .give even a faint outline of the substance and brilliancy of Mr. Gordon's speech, which, throughout, was received with loud plaudits. Never had any nation, he said, or set of people, been placed in so perilous a situation as the .Greeks had been. They had been opposed by wealth—fleets of regu larly armed ships—arm iea and stores of every kind; while they, on the other hand, had only a few small m erc h ant vesse l s , an d the bravery of their own countrymen to protect them. Under all those circumstances, lie need hardly say, that at the outset of the contest, no man could have contemplated thevictorious career the Greeks haVe run, or can conjecture what they arc yet able to do. He himself was satisfied that the results would be different from what was expected (he would not say wished for) by some, but he thought that, from what he had seen and known of Greece, it would soon - be almost. completely, freed from the Turks. ' Mr. Gordon then said, that the Greeks had implored assistance from this and other free countries, but, in high places it had been treated with indifference and aversion ; but I am happy, said lie, that, in my native country, I see a different disposition. If, by the assistance of this country, the Greeks shall succeed in their race for their liberty, indepen dence, and religion, we shall all have cause to rejoice, and, if they fail, we shall have the satisfaction of thinking that they did not fall ingloriously. Whatever may be the issue of the contest, the friends of the Greeks can honestly take merit to "themselves that, at all events, they have done all in their power. Mr. Gordon said, he would have here concluded, if he had not heard it said in certain quarters, that the Greeks were as bad as the Turks, and that they had been guilty of many acts of per, filly and cruelty. Now, lie would venture to say, that every man who knew him, would he the last to suppaille that he was ca. liable of vindicating any improper conduct on the part of the Greeks, or any other nation. But he denied the truth of the assertions to such an extent as had been made upon that sub ject. It must be well known (said he) that, in a war of that description, when a whole country is attempted to be put to the sword, that the war cannot be carried on according to those nice, feelings 'of honour which have always distinguished the troops and inhabitants of this country. Every thing went to extenuate or alleviate the conduct of the Greets in such a cause. They were no common or ordinary sufferers. They had personal wrongs to avenge---they had been threatened with extermination, and whenever an opportunity offered, the willingness to execute the threat had been manifested by the sacrifice of victims. The Greeks were, ao doubt, justly enrag. ed at.the,conduct of the Turks, in putting to death, impaling, and baffling their friends and relatives ; and he would not ex press an opinion whether the law of retaliation had been car ried too far.—Mr. - Gordon sat down amidst immense applause. The Chairman then again put the Resolutions to the vote of the Meeting, which were carried unanimously. After which a Committee was named, consistingof Sir Alex ander Bannerman, Bart., Mr. Garioch, 111 r. Gordon of Cair nees, Mr. Forbes of Balgownie, Mr. R. Abercrombie, Mr. P. Bannerman, Major Leith Hay, Dr. Kerr.—Mr. Alexander Bannerman, Chairman. FOR THE SUN. IRISH IMPROVEMENTS. MR. EDITOR—Much has been said lately about "doing something for Ireland ;" but I would ask, Sir, who ever did any thing for England ? Has not England made herself what she is ?—and ought not Ireland to endeavour to do the same ? But, look at Ireland even now! Look at the county of Armagh, with only 94 roods to each individual ! Look at the whole of the North, where industry and cleanliness are every where prevalent ! Then, look at the South ! but remember this, that the North is Protestant! To say what the SOUTH is would, however, be considered illiberal in this age of philanthropy. P. W. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD The pries of the 41b.
