THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Ex:track from t:le Morning Papers, September 23. • [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We received at a late hour last night the Paris Papers of Saturday. The Courier Francais con titirrs a curious letter from Vienna, on the subject of the approaching meeting between the great Potentates. Our. Ministers have for some time been receiving and dispatching couriers at a great rate from and to the East, and we shall probably snon , find an explanation of the cause for all this bustle. A n Engineer Officer of distinction has, we see, been dispatched over-land to the .lonian islands, to inspect the fortresses there. We are mow on the point of reaping the fruits of the pre dilection of Our Ministers for Legitimacy. IMORNING HERALD.] Last night we received, by express, the Paris Papers of Saturday. They continue to give fresh accounts of successes obtained over the Constitu tionalists. The aspect of affairs in Spain is, however, on the whole, worse than it has hither tb been. The news from Port St. Mary comes down to the 10th. At that time the Duke d'An gbilleme had moved his head-quarters to Chiclane nea r the isle of Leon. The fort of Puntales was expected to he taken without, delay,, and confi dent hopes were held out that Cadiz, for the attack on which the most vigorous preparations were making by sea and land, would soon be obliged to surrender. Should Cadiz, however, hold out for any considerable time, should the distemper that has broken out among the French . ' troops , make much progress, and Mina continue his suc cessful defensive operations, Spain may still he saved from the dominion of the French. . Indeed the quarrel between the Duke d'Angouleme and the Madrid Regency is a circumstance highly favourable to the cause of the -Constitutionalists, because the invadersolthough lighting only against one party, cannot any longer expect co-operation or support from the opposite party ; and sup pose.they conquer every place in the possession of the parties who still adhere to the Cortes, and reinstate Ferdinand in his absolute power, they will then have a -host of enemies in the bigots, - whose excesses the Prince Generalissimo tried to repress. The act of his recalling tire French Al i ulster from. tire presence of the Regency at Ma. algid is a strong presumptive evidence of the breach between him and them .having become wider than ever. [1110,11.N/NG rosT.l We received lust night, by Express, French Papers to the 21st. inst. They contain no details of the surrender of Pampeluna, but a long bul letin from Marshal Lauriston, detailing the operations preparatory to the attack, which seem to have been but little interrupted by the fire of the Constitutionalists, This and the speedy ca pitulation of a place which it had taken our army several mouths to reduce, and even then by famine, must naturally create at first sifett an im presslon that treachery opened its gates. We find however a statement, in this Bulletin, which, though not written with that intention, has the effect of rescuing the Constitutionalists and their Chiefs from the charge of having be ?rayed' their country. Marshal Lauriston rests his chief hope of success on the" weakness of the garrison," and says that he means to fatigue it by incessant demonstrations on several points,. hav ing for tau purpose commenced works on the other side of the town, so " as not to leave the gunners, in the place one moment tranquil."— There is no doubt, therefore, that besides the original want of numbers, the losses occasioned by the fire of the enemy rendered the garrison in a short time quite incompetent to the defence of so considerable a place, and that it only sur rendered' to prevent an assault which it could not have 'resisted if it had been made. it is ucfortunate that being conscious of their weak ness, the Constitutionalists should not have aban doned the defence of the town altogether, and confined themselves to that of the citadel, as they would have detained Lauriston's corps a longer time before their walls, and would thus have pre vented hint front marching to the relief of his COl:league Moncey in Catalonia. By wishing to' maintain both, they crippled their own means of ell'i%Clually resisting his first advances, and' when at the last Moment they discovered their error and wished to repair it, they probably found that the citadel itself was too closely pressed to be able to make an effectual resistance. flow that could possibly happen, however is a question involved in con siderable My'stery for, if n e mistake not, that fortress occupies the summit of a conical rock, of which it nearly covers the whole surface, and how the French could find room to dig their first parallel at a distance of 200 toises front its walls, or even to reach that spot without being annihi lated, by its tire, remains to be explained. [au ITT Hi re pis.] The future career of the Foreign Minister of this country is likely to be an anxious and a troubled one. The clouds of war are again col lecting round the cliff's of Britain, and, we fear, before long will burst upon its shores. it was eleir to every discerning mind, from the first, that the invasion of Spain, if once permitted by this country, could not terminate there; either France must he foiled her ambitious endea vours, or (if she succeeded within the Pyre. naps) her ambition would increase, and the same thirst of arrilitary domhiation attend on the white , flag that had marked the tri,coloured standard and the Imperial eagle. These an. ticipations are •tiow completely verified : bon ambition is increasing with great strides -the white flag has been dyed in Spanish blood, slid is again recogulsed by the French soldiers— • the crisis of Spain 1 , 11, rapidly approaching, and Cadit,(pressed en all sides) we fear must fall ; w ith its qurrendey,the war in Spain will terminate. Catalonia is the only province where any effective show of resistance is maintained, aud there it must cease before the Royal authority, and an over. whelming French force. The question then will be, how France is to be indemnified for her vast expenditure during this war; and more than suspicion already points to the American Colonies as an indemnity. The French Cabinet, it is said, has engaged to lend its forces to re-conquer these vast possessions for Old -Spain again; and an armed French force, it is stated, has already ap peared on the coast of Venezuela. We were not without suspicion when we heard of repeated vessels being detached, from almost every port in France, to the West India seas, and a large naval force lying off Guadaloupe and Martinique, that something of this sort was in preparation. The remnant of the Royalist forces of Spain in the Caraccas, we strongly believe, have already re ceived aid and arms from France. Morales, who has lately recovered Maracaibo and other places, never could have otherwise done so, or maintained a contest successfully from which Morillo, with infinitely greater talents and resources, withdrew in despair. One object of the invasion of Spain by the Bourbon decidedly is, a renewal of the family campact. The links of alliance between the two countries will thus be drawn together as closely as in the time of Louis the Fourteenth. With such connexion, France will not see Spain deprived of the mighty wealth, influence, and resources which flowed in upon her from South America. It is understood, and indeed now positively avowed, that the French Ministers have promised the aid of all their strength to re store the emancipated colonies to Spain. The'Ga ' wife de France, a Ministerial Paper, positively asserts that a pledge has been given by France, to restore, in the insurgent colonies, the autho rity of the mother country. In fact, says that Paper, in an article on the relative situations of France and England, " On the one hand, the commerce of England extracted from Mr. Canning the formal recognition of the Spanish American Republics ; on the other, France seems to have entered into an engagement to restore, in the insurgent colonies, the authority of the mother country." Can England look on and see the French flag triumphant in the New NVorldas it has been in Western Europe ? Can the Ministers of this country see these great colonies appropriated by the Bourbon, and their vast commerce entirely torn away from these shores? Mr. Canning, in his speech on the 14th of April, in the Lower liouse, declared," that this country would not tolerate for on instant the cession Which Spain might make of colonies over which she did not exercise a direct and positive influence." But it will be alleged the cession has not been made to Fiance, and that the aid of that coun is only given to restore the legitimate sove reignty of Spain. Yet, unless France has a vast object to attai►►, would she incur the immense ex pence attendant on the dispatch of a large arma ment to the New World ; and is it for the interest of Britain that these colonies should be restored by foreign force to the tyrannic gripe of Spain again, either to revive again the ancient mobopoly of that country, or divert its mighty commerce to the shores of ,France ? These form important and most urgent questions for the consideration of Ministers. The ambition of France is rapidly reviving; the white flag is un furled ; and a reckless soldiery, who ove, - ran Europe, are again collecting round it. Within the last few month's the French navy also has swarmed over the Mediterranean, and its tailors have been acquiring at once skill and confidence. At Verona we laid the foundation of difficulties now pressing on the country, and which probably must yet be met by war. The apprehended re sult is now seer); the mercantile interest is just ly and generally alarmed, and the► merchants of London meet, it is said, immediately, on the im portant subject which naturally interests all their attention. [NEW TIMES.] The Times has been employed to prepare the way in the City for ,a public meeting to embar rass Government by some resolutions respecting the South' American, States—we believe the mea sure will take place,; but we shall state our reasons for thinking it will not meet the sup port of the most prudent and experienced part of the mercantile interest. The policy of the British Government stands on higher ground than that of any other Government in the world for one great quality which it has evinced, under temptations and trials of the most opposite nature—we mean its consistency. Equally op.. posing the principles of despotism and of demo cracy, we have seen each apparently.triumph for a time ; and at such moments the Opposition have invariably urged 'us to deviate from the straight line of an inflexible integrity. When Robespierre and Marat were uppermost they would have had us fraternise with Regicides ; when Buonaparte was sweeping like a tempest • across the Continent, they would have had us bend and crouch before his insolent do. mieion.—South America has afforded a re. markable touch-stone of our political integrity. Since the French invasion of Spain in 1808, we have almost at any moment had it in our power ',to obtain cessions of territory either from Spain or the Colonists, as we might choose to favour the one or the other. We might have irrevocably detached from Spain her Colonies , we might have created as many and as various States in Spanish America as we thought proper, and have, secured to ourselves an absolute monopoly of their trade. Why did we make no such at tempt ? Because it was not just, it was not honest, it was not consistent with the general . Law of Nations, or with the particular ,Treaties which we have concluded with the Crown of Spain.—On the other hand, the march of events, and the progress of civilization, naturally tend to relax the bonds which attach such vast colonial possessions as those of Spain to tho Mother Conn try. We have evinced no wish to oppose this natural progress of events. A war has sprung up between Spain and her Colonies: we have re mained neutral. This is the position in which we stand, and in which it becomes us to stand. With such large territorial dependgncies as we ourselves, possess, it is as unwise as it would be unjust in us to teach other nations to foment wars between us and our Colonies. So J o n g as the struggle lasts, therefore between Spain ..and South America, , and .. so long as it is car ried on between them alone, consistency compels the British Gozernment not to interfere. We believe that that conflict is nearly at an end. Spain, exhausted by civil warfare in Europe, has not the means of making new conquests on the other side of the Atlantic ; and perhaps a fair compromise might leave to her some commercial advantages of more real value to her than an un substantial Sovereignty. [Till TIMES.] Letters and papers were received yesterday from Gibraltar to the Ist inst. inclusive. Gen. Quiroga had reached that place * from England, and. was understood to entertain the intention of entering Cadiz if possible. Sir R. Wilson remain ed at Gibraltar with similar views, as well as a great number of Constitutional officers from all parts of Spain, who were waiting for the chance of any re-action in their favour. General Zayas arrived there from Malaga on the 31st ult., after having with difficulty escaped from Riego, whom he described as guilty of many acts of violence against the inhabitants of that city, unfortunately too often needful under cases like that in which Spain is at present placed ; but as successful, also, in raising large supplies of money and provisions for his troops. The abandonment of Malaga by the Constitutional troops was not then known. It is remarkable that the Gibraltar letters speak of Ballaateros as still effective against the French troops, and as the cause of the delay in Molitor's advance on Cadiz to join Bourdesoult. The opinion at Gibraltar seems to be ) that whether the French were compelled to attack Cadiz, or sought to reduce the place by a blockade, their chance of success was extremely doubtful ; and this opinion is founded both on the state of the supplies within the city, and the numerical force of the French army before it. —Until the arrival of the Duke of Angouleme at Port St. Mary's, the French blockade had been so lax, that a large stock of provisions had been sent from Gibraltar, by - far the greater part of which reached its destination. A few vessels occasionally fell into the hands of the French, but the value of the cargoes which en tered ,was quite adequate to cover that loss. —After. the Duke's arrival, a number of gun boats were employed in aid of the squadron, to intercept the small coasting vessels destined for the supply of Catliz ; but even that additional risk could not restrain the enterprize of the Gib raltar merchants, and a few vessels still, by ex traordinary adroitness, and under cover of the night, were enabled to enter. What ever scarcity of meat existed in Cadiz, there was little doubt that the city was sufficiently supplied with corn to endure a siege of two or thre months. The French force before Cadiz, even supposing Molitor to come up in time for the general attack, would not, it was supposed, exceed 30,000 men. That advance, however, on consulting the French journals, which give accounts much later in date, we fiad not to have been made : those " oracles" have, indeed,'so studiously maintained, silence on the subject, that Molitor is almost as much forgotten as if his force had never formed a part of the " army of Spain." Without Molitor, ingouleme could not reckon on more than '20,000 effective men—a force far too weak, supposing. common spirit and resolution to exist within the walls, to take Cadiz by assault. The besieged, we also learn, were in no want ofmoney, having levied large sums from the merchants by forced contributions. In the latter end of August, the French were repulsed in an attempt to take Tarifa : surely the heroic exam ple in a place so near, will not be thrown away on the much stronger and to the last degree im portant city of Cadiz ! t The French Ultra .Tournals persist in shying that this offi cer is living in the disguise of a farmer's labourer in Hamp shire.

CURIO US CIRCUMSTANCE. -Mr. PlomPr, of Icastel, in Illanaccan, has had working in his fields during the present harvest, th re e men , w hole united ages amount to up. wards of 240 years—the age o f on e of them, with that of the hook with win c h h e wor k e d, i s u pwards of 140 years.—( West Briton. ) ROYAL PROMOTIONS. If the golden gate of preferment, says D'ls raeli, in his " Curiosities of Literature," is not usually opened to men of real merit, persons of no worth have entered it in a most extraordinary manner.—Cherreau informs us that the Sultan Osman having observed a gardener planting a cabbage with some peculiar dexterity, the man ner so attracted his Imperial eye, that he raised him to an office near his person, and shortly af terwards he rewarded the planter of cabbages by creating him Beglerbeg, or Viceroy, of the Isle of Cyprus ! Marc Anthony gave the house of a Roman citizen to a cook, who had prepared for him a good supper ! Many have been raised to extraordinary pre ferment, by capricious Monarchs, for the sake of a jest. XI. promoted a poor Priest, whom he found sleeping in the porch of a church, in order that the proverb might be verified—" to lucky men good fortune will come, even when they are asleep." Henry VII. of England made a Viceroy of Ireland, if not for the sake of, at least with a clench. When this King was told that all Ire land could not rule the then Earl of Kildare, he said—" Then shall the Earl rule all Ireland." It is recorded of Henry VIII., that he raised a servant to a considerable dignity, because he had taken care to have a roasted boar prepared for him, when his Majesty happened to be in the humour of feasting on one ! And the title of Sugar-loaf-court, in Leadenhall-street, was pro. bably derived from another piece of magnificence of this Monarch.—The widow of a Mr. Corn. wallis was rewarded by the gift of a dissolved Priory, there situated, for some fine puddings with which she had presented his Majesty ! When Cardinal de Monte was elected Pope, before he left the conclave, he bestowed a Car- dinal's hat upon a servant, whose chief merit consisted in the attentions he paid to his Holiness's monkey ! Louis Barbier owed all his good fortune to the familiar knowledge lie bad of the wiltings of Rabelais. He knew Rabelais' works, and could recite them well. This served to introduce them to the Duke of Orleans, who took great pleasure in reading that author. It was for this he gave him an Abbey, and he was gradually promoted till lie became a Cardinal. _ _ George Villiers was suddenly raised from a private station, and loaded with wealth and honours, by James 'the First, merely for his per sonal beauty. In fact, almost all the favourites of James became so from their handsomeness. v. M. de Chamillart, Minister of Finance in France, owed his promotion merely to his being the only man who could beat Louis XIV. at billiards! This profligate and ambitious Minister retired on a large pension, after ruining the fin ances of his country. The Duke of Leines was originally a country lad, who insinuated - himself into the favour of Louis XIII. when young, by making bird trips to catch sparrows! " It was little ex pected," says Voltaire, " that these puerile amusements were to be succeeded by a tra gical revolution in the Government. De Luines, after causing his patron, the-Marshal d'Ancree, to he assassinated, and the Queen Mother to be imprisoned, raised himself to a title l and to the most tyrannical power. Sir Walter Raleigh owed his promotion to an act of gallantry to Queen Elizabeth ; and Sir Christopher Hatton owed his preferrnent to his dancing !—" Queen Elizabeth," observes Gran ger, " with all her sagacity, could notice the fu ture Chancellor in the fine dancer." The same writer says," Nothing could form a more curious collection of Memoirs, than Anecdotes of Prefer ment." Could the secret history of men be traced, it would appear that merit is rarely the first step to advancement. It would much oftener be found to be owing to superficial qualifications, and even vices. MR. SADLER'S ASCENT. SHEFFIELD.—Mr. SADLER'S balloon, together with himself and his car, ascended from this town, exactly at five minutes after two o'clock on Thursday last. Mr. Sadler was not more fortunate in his ascent than his descent, which took place near Tickhill, and at no great distance from Sand. beck Park. Here he met with the most polite attention, and was accompanied by the brother of Sir George Armytage, to Sheffield, who had the kindness to convey hint in his carriage to the Tontine Inn, where he arrived about half-past nine o'clock. The Gentlemen of the Committee were here in at tenda»ce ; and it is but justice to remark, were most active in their endeavours to render Mr. Sadler all the service in their power. We subjoin the following narration, which has been furnished us by Mr. Sadler " I ascended at five minutes past two o'clock, and in t wenty . wo minutes the town of Sheffield was obscured front my view ; but for some time I had occasional views of the inclosure be neath 11)6. My ascending through the clouds was attended with chilliness. The balloon continued rising until five minutes to three o'clock, the greatest elevation being about two miles, when the reflection of the sun upon the balloon, car, &c. rendered it extremely warm. I descended at fifteen minutes past three o'clock, in a grass field adjoining a copse callA Herrings Length, about a mile from 'Tickhill." The following extract from a letter, dated Tickhill, Sept. 18, to A friend of ours in Sheffield, will show how interested both young and old appeared to be, on discovering the balloon, and its descent, about a mile from the former place and in a southerly direction•:-- I just sit down to inform you that I have had a fine race After Mr. Sadler, in his balloon, which dcecended about a mile south of Tickhill, in a grand style. We had all sorts and sizes after us, and all ages froM two years to four score ; and such tumbling into the dykes and squalling of women as I never heard in my life."—(Sheffield Mercury.) SI I ONEIikiEN, SEPT. 15;—A more tremendous rain than we had here fora few hours this Morning, is not re membered in this quarter. In the interior part of the country, the clouds seem to have emptied themselves. By ten o'clock AOC the Cowie, a stream which is chiefly dependent on moun tain rivulets, assumed a most formidable appearance; and in half. an hour after, broke through and overleaped all its banks, far beyond any former innundation, hurling. every thing along which lay in its way, swelling from a stream to a majestic river, and occupying for its bed fields of oats, barley, and potatoes, to the breadth of several hundred yards. The turnpike road north of the bridge was for some time im passable, nor was any trace of it discernible; and where but a few hours before travellers were seen pursuing their jour ney, cows grazing, and agricultural operations carrying on, boats were observed .plying in various directions. The da mage sustained cannot yet be estimated ; it must be very considerable. One field of fine barley in the stook was swept to the sea, and, much fine grain, uncut, now em bedded in sand, must be t ota ll y destroyed. A mill lately erected a little below the bridge is a - good deal damaged, the..river having forced .its houses in the fishing village o f C ow i e, s i tuate d about a quarter of a mile from the u sua l c h annel, of t h e r i v e r , were un dermined, and hurled into ruins.

Phi-. losophical Society, a memoir was read . by Mr. MAcLunE, surgeon, in which he presented a simple but satisfactory explanation of the well 'known fact that the milk which is obtained .towards the conclusion, is much richer than that which ~the cow yields at the commencement of the milking process. The dairy.maid calls it the stripings or afterings. His theory is this. He' consider; milk in the udder of an. animal as being nearly in the same circumstances as milk contained in a vessel out of her body altogether. It is without the pale of the animal's circulation, and nearly in a state of absolute rest. Its component parts, there fore, will obey the same laws in the one state as in the other. Now the cream, which is the lighter anti more oleaginous part of milk, iscends td the surface-of that which is contained in a vessel, becomes .su perna tent, and leaves the more watery and heavier portion below. In like manner be petite the part called the afterings, which re sembles cream, is specifically' lighter than the More acqueous portion of milk ip the udder, it' ascends to the upper region of that organ, and consequently is the last which is expressed during the process of milking.
