THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY X4lriecte from the harming ropers, October 25 [TM 7 We have received the Madrid Gazette, and the Bestaurador of the 16th inst. The addresses which the partisans of the ancient despotism have transmitted from every part of Spain to the Re gency at Madrid, are now re•priated and pro. losely circulated, being given gratuitouly to the tabble of th♦ Faith, to peruse them, if they can, which we apprehend they are as little able to do, ab to pay for them. We have translated as a bperi men of these documents, the Represen tation of the Ayuntamiento of Corunna against Legislative Chambers, and praying for the ):e.establishment of the Inquisition, to protect Spain against heresy ; and the restoration of the order of the Jesuits, for the instruction of youth. The Representation forms a sup. plement (distributed gratis) to the Restaurador of the Mit. The Madrid Gazette contains two of King Ferdinand's decrees and a dispatch from Carlos O'Domsel, announcing the surrender of Citified Rodrigo. The Restaurador has a long :article against the purchasers of church property, and a letter from Puerto de Santa Maria, boasting of a sort of theatrical change of dress which was, it seems, exhibited by the Queen of Spain and the Princesses, on their passage from Cadiz, to the great dismay of the poor Constitutionalists. The writer of that letter thus describes this act of heroism : " I have now to inform you of a sublime deed, which, the circumstances considered, merits to be recorded among those which have distinguished the most celebrated heroines. Our Lady, the Queen, and most serene Infamies, Dona Mute de Asia and the Duchess of Burs, left Cadiz in tar tan dresses (trees esoceres), with white and red scarfs; but when they were about half a gun-shot from the Cadiz batteries, they stripped off the skilfully prepared tunic of simulation, and appeared ;n scsrlet-celoured rebel, bestrewed with j:lfurs de-lie Of so large a size, that they could be easily distinguished at a considerabl e distance, thus proclaiming that they had been, and continued to be, Royalists. The Garth!. Valdes anti Oyez were thunderstruck and changed colour at the sight ! You will doubtless be astonished that these leading clamourers for " the Constitution or Deaths," should thus be taken by sue. prise, and turn pale with envy at seeing so mach firmness, coUrage, and grandeur of soul." Letters from Seville state, that the Duke of Angouleme arrived in that city on the 10th in the morning, and departed in the evening of the same day. flu did not, therefore, spend much time either in religious exercises or affectionate felicitations with the King of Spain. emu' Madrid his Royal Highness is expected to pass on to Paris. ills reception in the capital of France, and subsequent conduct, will he miters requiring close attention. One thing we believe to be certain—that if pacification %vas the object Of his onterprke, there is at this MOnient as much to do in Spain us there was at the moment when he eutered the country. The effect of a vie. terinus army, or at least an army fancying 'hell victorious, and returning from a foreign conquest, upon the liberties of his own countrymen, some may think en important consitler:4.ion. Hut, in truth, the French hs. : vo 11111C11 to learn before they can. be fre6.—(iblit) • TN ew 4.1 J . We yesterday received Letters and Papers fiout Paris to Wednesday eve n ing; their coil tents are highly important. Our Private Corre spondence affords n key to some circumstances which have occasioned much anxiety both here and at Paris—the state of the King of France's health---the late change. in the French Cabinet— and: the recognition or disavowal of the Spanish Loans.---Of each of thesis topics in its turn. It is but too true that the health of Louis XVIII. has been for some time past declining. His age is by no means extreme, for ho has not vat com pleted his (Bth year: but his corpulence and ether. CuMititulional habits are unfavourable to a healthy old ace; and the fatigues of Govern ment may well be believed to press heavily on his frame. Our Correspondent mentions an ac credited report that on Wednesday morning his Majesty • was troubled, with an indigestion which produced a sort or lethtrgic fit. This, however, 50011 went'oir, and he, recovered entirely before the evening. Every little circumstance is newts rally laid hold of to augment the apprehensions of the public in mica of this kind ; but it tines nut appear in the present instance that there was much ground for alarm. The time has past by when the very existence of the legitimate Cles vernment •ie France was thought to depend au the life of Louis XVIII. net Monarch has had the felicity of consolidating the Bourbon Throne in France, es well as of restoring it in Spain; and whenever Fate shall transfer the Sceptre from his handy to those of his Royal Successor, the change will probably be as little felt as in the succession of George I V. to George 111. Any alarm on account of supposed divisious in the French Cabinet are still more chimerical. The cause of the Marshal Duke de Belluuo's retirement, we understand' was some difference between bim and M. Ouvrard, the Ottiet . Contractor leer the Army in -Spain.— Ilse Duke d'Aegoulerne• Amid every justice to the high-:merits, the - bravery, aced distin guished loyalty of the Marshal ; but his opi nion at to•the points in dispute was favourable Ousrard ; and in consequence the /juke de thilluno •thought• proper to withdraw front the Cabitiet. his successor, the Baron de Damns, is man of most distinguished character ; brave, !Val, Of Uncompromising integrity, and of un yieldlotylirmness.- His judgment is clear and good, and. though no more than 37 years of age, he iss well. fitted for the business of the CabineL ills only defect as a Minister under a itepresen tative Government like that of France is a want of experience in public spanking. is probable that. he owes his unlooked-for elevation to the personal esteem of the Duke d'Angouleme,. whom, with so much bravery and fidelity, he, served in tho •short campaign of 1815 in the South of France; but his introduction into the Cabinet, far from disuniting his colleagues, is likely to cement still more closely their union. [I3BIIIM runs.] The interference of the Holy Allies in the internal *Mars of Spain, we were persuaded from the first, was never meant to end where ft began; and the events of every hour confirm our opinion that their interposing piety looked for its reward in ,a quarter where they wilt ere long seek to obtain it. We knew that many - persons of dis. tinguished lead and influence in France cons!. dared the war with Spain as the fore.runner of an inevitable war with England. A pamphlet has been recently published in Paris, which is circulating with considerable interest, en. titled, 41 De Pinetritabilite dune guerre pro chain° avec l'Angleterre, pretentee coons* consequence de la Gusrred d'Espagne."— There is much in It that must force it. self upon our reflection ; it canvasses, with a shrewd conciseness, the policy of Mr. Canning, and glances with a short but severe sarcasm at the character of the Duke of Wellington. It con firms in every page the opinion we have always expressed us to the danger to be apprehended to this coentry from the military ambition of " eats pierre angulaire de la Sainte d" Nance." We fear that Mr. Canning will soon have "to mix in warlike councils." The Northern Wolf turns on us every d►►y a more formidable aspect. Ought the crisis that is approaching to have eluded the calculations of the British Ca binet ? Or is it that the over-ruling influence of a great military leader made the wisdom of better men bend before it ? By whom or for whatever objects the character of Great has been compromised, the time is come t7hen she must trend back her steps, end turn egz!n into that path of honour in which alone s. groat nation can tread with safety. To meet the cr's's that is fast approaching, will require all the wis dom and all the watchfulness that our Forr7:n Secretary can bring to it. We trust that Mr. Canning has more skill than to be carried away by the current ; he has hitherto 0141111 an adroit- nes, in tacking, so as to keep always to wind ward ; if he manages the foreign interests of the country with the same address that he displays in promoting his own, they cannot be entrusted to better hands. [MORNING lIIR&LD.] For a great number of years - no Ministers have bad so much patronage thrown Into their hands as the present, by the appointment of Con suls to the States of South America. The Con suls-General have had salaries of from 2,0001. to 2,5001. a year secured to them. Mr. O'Gorman is to receive the highest salary, 2,5001. per an num ; the next, '2,2001.; the next, 2,0001. The salary of a Vice-Consul is to be 1,0001. per ann. and all are independent of their fees of office ; in countries, too, where the necessaries of life bring only nominal prices —for example, a good horse can, in Chili, be had for a few shillings. Out of 17 Consuls and Vice-Consuls, 11 have been ap pointed ; remaining Commissions (those for Porn and CVIi) will not h. filled up, it is said, until i.he r,:or. or Mr. Secretary Canning to town. Most of ~he Gentlemen, whose ep pointinents we have announced, have already left town to embark at a vary short notice ; in no Instance exceeding eight days. This huty is worthy of hying remarked, fur it argues, the nintirty of Ministers to carry into, the fullest effect the determination to recognise, thus indi rectly, the various Governments of South Ame rica. [MOKNINO CIIILONIOGE.] We have seen a letter from good authority, stating the disappointment of the European Powers with respect to the non-recognition of the money engagement' of the Government of the Cortes. We cannot conceive, however, that any thing has been done in Spain that was not formally resolved on with the concurrence of those Powers. We were yesterday favoured with the peris:ll of a letter from Madrid, dated the 11th inst., and written by tt person of very moderate politics, which states that the utmost terror and dismay prevailed,in consequence of the King's vindictive conduct. The Xerez and Librija Decrees, follow ing upon the one issued at Port St. Mary's, hod left no dotibt . as to the Royal determination, and others of the same character were expected. It was thought A heavy contribution would he ortb to be levied on the capital, us a further punishment, and collected with the utmost rigour; for- the King and his party are not in possession of a single dollar, and hosts of hungry harpies are preparing to insist on the payment of their claims for services, the moment the Royal retinue reach Madrid, having no other tneatut of • exchanging their rags for decent clothing--a ne cessary preliminary step to their parading themselves, and enjoying their new honours. —lt was thought that Me'.l.r:(l would be ut terly deserted, for such numbers of persons, in some way or o:her, had been e:nployed ity or .connected with the Cons':tutic,:tcl Govern ment, sprved ill tho militia, or were 'n the, habit of reading the deify papers (an offence which also enters into King Ferdinand's deft:l44.n of treason), that when they shell have absented themselves, few, except the rabid* and the oew heroes of the Faith, would be left in the city. The application for passports ryas unpreCodented, and the Police were actively employed in find iug oat And sending away every one whose pre- WIC* they imagined could be the least ()Wen sire to hie Majesty when he returnel to his re. generated capital. The heads of the Police expect special marks of favour for their zeal and industry. LMOUNING POST.] French Papers to the 211 inst. reached us last night by express. The Etuile asserts that the crew of a vessel which had arrived at Marseilles has seen the white flog flying an the 'trails of Barcelona: but surely if that place had surren dered, the intelligence would have been conveyed in a more direct line to Paris. The submission of Barcelona is now the only great object which attracts the attention of the French in Spain. They justly look up to it as the test of the re ality of their triumphs; for as long as that strong and populous city holds out in the midst of a mountainous province, surrounded by fortresses of considerable power, and garrisoned by brave and experienced troops, the war in the Peninsula cannot be regarded as finished. The existence of a rallying point, like the 'basis which Archi 'Medea wanted for hie lover, ivauld sooner ot later enable the Patriots to overturn the cemented edifice of Despotism, and restore the libertlee of their eouotry.--It may easily be Imagined, thorefore, with what anxiety the French Government ore waiting for Intelli gence from that quarter, and that irony thing had occurred of a decisive nature, the telegraph would have communicated it to the capital, long before the news could have made the circuit of Mar. seines and Provence. Meanwhile Ferdinand, who takes no counsel bat from his own passions and prejudices,contieues oissne Decrees to com plete the moral renovation of Spain. By a new one from Seville (which will be found amongst our extracts in a preceding , column), a com mission has been appointed to select and de termine what books Spaniards may be alhwecl to read I It is only surprising that it has not yet been followed by another, making it high treason to teach the lower classes, or any but the clergy, to decipher one letter of the alphabet. This, however, will come in due titne, and if Ferdinand should succeed in degrading the patios to his own level, be will speedily contrive to restore the blessed ignorance in which it has crawled for the last three hundred years t It appears by the official announcement of the actual surrender of Caidad Rodrigo ( with the conditional capitulation of which we were previously acquainted), that the King of Spain issued another Decree on the sth instant, ordering all fortresses and fortifie(' • posts that were still under the Constitutional Government to recognize leis Sovereign auth.)- rity, replace every thing on the same fimting as it was before the 7th of March 1820, and sub mit to the Royal troops that should happen to be nearest to them. PALACE COtilT, OCT. 24. Tho following ease excited great interest in a crowded Court. naves V. SIONTAGUIt DITItOOYNE, ESQ., AND OTZEDS. Mr. THICSIBEA stated the case. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, a poor widow, to recover a compensan ri damages against the defendant, Mr. Burgoyne, and t'se c:!ser defendants in his service, for a traipses in partially injiWag the cottage of the plaintiff; who resides at East Sheen, near the mansion of the defendant. The Learned Counsel stated that he did not wish to influence the minds of the Jury be any appeal to their passions, for he hoped thatthe trespass was not a wanton act of the defendant. Ile was not one of those persons who thought that there was a disposition in the higher classes of society to oppress their tenantry, but in this case the plaintiff had most certainly suffered much injury and wrong. She had resided at East Sheen, in the cottage in ques tion, upwards of 12 years ; and though extemely poor, ha d sup. ported herself without being dburden to any one. Mr. Bur goyne, who a few years since bad taken up his residence at East Sheen, wished to obtain considerable property in the neigh. bourhood, and became po ssesse d o f th e interest of the Widow Oaten's cottage, but possession was not to be taken for a cer tain time, and that time had not transpired when the trespass was committed. Mr. Burgoyne, however, as it would a pp ear , wished to anticipat e th e peri od, and he (Mr. Thesiger) was sorry to say, the poor woman was more th an once threatened; and in consequence, about the middle of Au. gust last, she repaired to London, to obtain the advice of her son-in-law, having first secured the windows and doors. During her stay in the metropolis, she received a letter from a neighbour, informing her that the cottage was being pulled down. On receiving this intelli gence , immediately returned, and found the am of the roof of the house were taken off, her garden trodden down, and the work. men busily employed in making alterations. She ordered the I men to desist, and called her neighbours to view the waste of her property. Her bed was so much injured by exposure to the weather, that she was unable to . sleep in it. Application was subsequently made to Mr. Burgoyne on th e subject, and he (51r. Thesiger) was sorry to find a person of his high situation In life saying—" Let her go to law. I have SOUL to spend !" A letter was next sent to her son-in-law in Mr. Burgoyne's handwriting, enumerating the injuries don e t o th e h ouse , an d observing, that if the widow would allow him to repair the house, he would give her three guineas, and she might leave at Michaelmas. Enclosed in the letter was a curious (loco ment, in which the bricklayer stated that he was ready to swear no injury had been done to the goods. Here, then, was an ad mission of the wrong done, accompanied with this bricklayer's affirmation, sent for the purpose of intimidating her. Perhaps it would be said, "they were repairing; the houset" but what; t had they to break Into and injure the house and garden as they had none ? After this, there was a proposition to refer the stouter to the solicitor for Mr. Burgoyne, but the poor woman had brought her case before a jury ; and to chew them there was no vindictive feeling, else merely claimed the sum of W. 192. The Learned Counsel concluded by obse rv i ng , that he had abstained from venting his feelings In the case, as the injury was so apparent he was confident the poor woman would obtain the redress she sought. henry Hetherington stated, that he lodged in the pinirers house. lie recollected her leaving the cottage in August last for London, to obtain advice. About three or four days after her departure, some workmen Caine to the cottage. Witness was surprised one morning to see the f oun d at i on l a id open. Some of the trees, full of berries, in the garden were pulled up, end bushes trodden down. T he house was weather-boarded in front, and the boards were pulled down. Most of the til es were taken from the roofi and the lath and plaster broken. The water-pump was also thrown down; Battey, a carpenter, and Shatter, a bricklayer, two of the defendant s , were em pl oye d on the premises. %% wrote to Mrs. Oates, informing her of the transaction, and when she returned she called her neigh hours to witness the damage done to her b e d aid furniture : the former had a quantity of mortar and ru bbi s h upon i t . Cross-examined by It r. MarrotEs.—Witness had heard that Mr. Burgoyne made en offer to compensate the plaintiff. Witness had received 5/. for the injury he sustained, but on his oath he was now 21. out of pocket, besides loss of business. Mr. Mastotus, for the defence, briefly observed that he should not call any witnesses; the defendant, Mr. Burgoyne, had acted unadvisedly, but it was clear he wished the business to be settled honourably on his part, and but for the obstinacy of the plaintiff this unfortunate action would not have been heard of. Ile must submit to a verdict against him ; but he hoped the character of Mr. Burgoyne would be considered as clear as it was before the transaction. The Judge (Buirros Mounter, Esq.) summed up the evidence, and remarked that the trespass wits certainly one of an outrageous :suture, end seldom beard of is a court of justice. The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict—Dameges 141. Ills. and costs ; cud the Foreman observed, " We are ex tremely sorry we cannot give a great deal more." Fiai.—About nine o'clock last night, a Are broke put in the front cellar of Mr. BICKSIANN, 66, Cheapside. The.house is a large one, and has very extensive premises behind. Mr. Bloc 11141f, who carries on the Wiliness of a Man. cheater Werehoasemsti, occupies the front part, and the rear is lo the possession of three indivi duals carrying cm the Scotch shawl, Norwich bmnbasiu, end Coventry Abend trades. By the promp arrival of the engines, end exertion of the firemen, the ti:lewas got completely under by eleven o'clock. The damage done„ although considerable, is not so great as under the Clr. cumstanees migla have been expected.

SPAIN. PRIVATE LETTER FllOlll UTAERA, OCT. 71 "I had promised to write to you on ruching Seville, but many interesting circumstances that have occurred, and the dullness of this town, in duce me to anticipate from hence. We reached Lebrija yesterday : it is a poor village, standing on an eminence, at about a mile from the turn pike, towards the Guadalquiver ; our journey , was very amusing; the procession may be com pared to an Avalanche, increasing as it advances, and destroying every thing in its course; the distance from Xeres is about 20 miles of almost level country, principally producing corn, with some vines and olives, near that city and Lebrija. Notwithstanding the heat was oppressive, ascended with my Patron to the Moorish Castlel which crowns the hill ; h e was a pl a i n , honest ,l communicative farmer; I availed myself of the opportunity to inquire (as usual) the state and opinion of the neighbourhood ; there seemed, according to him to be a general wish for peace and tranquillity under any Govern ment for since 1808, the farmers have been ruined by Invasions and civil wars: the French had fortified the castle, maintained a strong post there, and levied heavy contribu tions. From 1814 to 1820, the village suffered much from the continued throughfare of troops going to Cadiz to embark for South America : it was under a military Commander, and the se verest martial law could not authorize the cruel and despotic acts, he described, as executed by Abisbal's orders. We were tired, and hoped the Constitution would bring us relief, said the farmer ; but although the tithes have been di minished one half, we have taxes, and the clergy are always saying our holy religion was in danger; they would not allow our young men to join the National Militia, children to attend tho public schools, or the A 'cedes to en force the orders of the Constitutional Government, which they declared contrary to the will of Jesus Christ ; but now they have gained th e upper hand, t hey ill-use all who before did their duty, ant' we are obliged to pay them all the monies whi:.'t have been withheld by law these last three years, and all their partizans live upon us—" Sill pap!' Ull maravedis." 66 The plain from Lehrija to the Guadatquivar of about four miles iu breadth, is totally uncut tivated by the &cries of the Cortes, it was to have been drained and distributed to the poor, is equal portions, and would h ave b ecome exceed- _ . ingly valuable, as it extends for many leagues up and down that fine river. The view from this castle is delightful —some large farm-houses are scattered over the plain ; notwithstanding, in no part of Spain is the defect of rural population more strongly demonstrated than here—the soil is rich and productive, and the climate particu larly favourable ; yet for eleven long leagues be tween Xeres and Utrera there is no town or vii- lege on the road, or place where a traveller can rest with safety or comfort ; a few miserable yen tas or inns afford most wretched accommoda tion, and at the post !tenses provisions of the worst kind are extremely scarce and dear ; thus, thro' the finest country perhaps in Europe, you travel with greater inconvience and danger than in some parts of Africa. The farm houses are immensely large, surrounded by high walls, and closed with massive folding doors, resembling gaols or forti fied positions ; from 30 to 40 and even 50 labour ing men, and at least as many yoke of oxen are employed in each during the convenient season ; in summer, the common food of the men is bread, onions, tomato., vinegar,oil, salt, and water, mixed up, and forming a dish called gaspacho, and sailed; and at other seasons bread, cheese, and 'spas of bread, oil, garlick ; the cattle eat barley straw ; at sun sot the doors are closed ; fire-arms are kept in readiness to prevent surprize, large dogs are turned loose in the yard, and no per suasion can induce the inmates to receive a stranger until day-light ; the labouring into, arthritis, and lower class of people of every de scription hues their families and hovels in the town, where they live in idleness, gaiety and dirt. i was much surprized to see no cottages on the large space we overlooked; my inform. ant gave mo a satisfactory reason—" the poor have no property to any description save their wages, therefore no inducement to live in the country, but they return to their families every Saturday, and scarce go to work again until Tuesday morning." My patron told me that General Micheletti' was quartered here, with the - regiment of Guadalaxara, when Itiego proclaim ed the Constitution in the village of Las Cnbezas, he was considered a strong Royalist, but either ' from fear or intrigue, made no attempt to check the proceeding. at Arcot, excepting sending Mario, his A a id-d e -C amp, to reconoitro, wh Z joined Meg°, and then withdrew his troops to Carmona. " Desirous of visiting the cradle of the glori ous attempt at freedom, I permitted the prom -16)119 his Majesty's escort, and an inumner ' *Me herd of hungry adventurers who swarmed around to pretends' (beg employments), to regain the high road, determined to proceed direct to Las Cabezas de Sae Juan, which is situated aboit six miles from Lebrija, on the direct and cross road to Utrera ; but after the Royal Fa miry left the town, an unexpected scene (at least by me) presented itself; the soldiers of the Faith and ragamuffins who belonged (or rather had at tached themselves) to the Court, not only refused to pay for their fare, but went from house to house and levied forced charity of provisions and money from the poor afflicted inhabitants ; in a few minutes the taverns and shops were com pletely gutted, and the people of the village, unable to resist, were compelled silently to wit. ness their own destruction ; 6 the business of the day being concluded,' the fellows defiled, chaunt ing their customary songs and hymns. " From Lebrija to Las Cabexas de San Juan is a perfect level, until within a very short dis tance from the latter, when you ascend a hill on which it stands on very irregular ground ; I had expected to find something superior to the medium diets of. Spanish towns, bat found the houses, church, end Casa de Ayuntamiento inferior, being very small, and poor, excepting a few houses in the principal street, in one of which Riego had lived ; San Miguel occupied the neat. I visited them both ; the families were well-dressed, pi). - lished people, and the females quite genteel. I ' did not expect to find myself in such good soe ciety : we became friends, and an interesting girl, whose sister is married to Balcarcel, who was Riego's Aid.de-Camp, and afterwards Com mandant of the battalion of San Marcos! at Cadiz, showed me the room in which their meetings were held ; something had been at that tim e suspected by the Paton, but he kept the secret until Riego himself confided it to him ; there were only a small number of the Officers of the battalion of Asturias (Riego'd regiment) initiated into the plot, among whom were the two San Miguels, Perez, &c. 814:. Michelena had sent an agent to investigate a few days previous, but the soldiers were true to their promises ; many had suspicions, but refused to disclose them. On the Ist January, the day Axeti for the execution of the plan, after the battalion had been to church, the officers were assembled in Riego's apartment ; he harangued them in the most expressive language t enjoining them to speak frankly whether they thought the Constitution necessary to save their country from ruin ; they all answered it was, and swore to support him till the last if he would en deavour to re-establish it ; the difficulties of the ease: prize were then explained to them, and they were requested to decide for themselves ; there %ITS instantly u simultaneous cry 46 COEIItitUCIDIL o Muerte :" Riego explained his plan of pro , claiming the Constitution immediately, and marching on Arcos that night ? he enjoined them to preserve order and discipline, to prevent any person quitting the town, any injury being done to property or individuals. When I reflected upon the fate which has befallen Riego, I could not avoid lamenting that an enterprise so auspi ciously commenced, should have met so deplora ble and unexpected a termination !---' If an has , ed the example of the officers who surprised A rens, Spain would not be so unfortunate,'observed the owner of this house. The four field-officers, 14 of the Captains, and almost all the subaltern* and serjeants, have been killed, wouuded, or taken prisoners, fighting to the last ; Rine, San Miguel, Arismendi, Castro, Perez, &c. have fal len true to the cause to which they swore in this' little room three years and a half since; but their loss will be avenged,and from each drop of their blood will Spring up a Spaniard to save their country, and avenge their untimely fate. Spain will never again be a prey to despotism, 4 delta a a sus paisanos los lngletes que tungan valor y animo y que veneeremos 4 despotism° y lu ariste cracia; que la guerra parese haverse concluida pero la revolution ahora is princeipec ! y seremos litre,.' lahe old man's countenance was enli vened as he spoke, there was a prophetic smile on his features, a firmness and confidence imps. ing beyond description ; he took my hand, and I felt I participated in all his feelings and de sires, as I returned the cordial shake, bowed, and, retired.
