'rim LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, October• 30. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We understand that the instructions carried out by the diplomatic Agents and Consuls to South America, are in substance as follow :—The diplomatic Agents are to proceed forthwith to the respective seats of Government, and the Con suls to their several destinations, the latter in the character of private individuals. The for. mer are to enter into commercial treaties, and e stablish a political understanding conformably to the limtructions they carry out. If they sue. co.ed, and the South American Governments consent to the , residence of Consuls in their ports, the functions of the latter will then com. Tornce, and every six months they are instructed to send home a Report of the imports, exports, productions, &c. of their several.. departments. The diplomatic agents are to send over a Report Qtl the organization and state of ,the country. from Colombia this Report is to be brought over by Col. Campbell, and Col. Hamilton is to re. main behind, and if th e treaties are confirmed by Government and the independence of the country acknowledged, he is then to receive the ap poh:ttnent of Char om gt: he 1 d'Affairefs. October The salaries of a ll c ommence fr toth o. 1)4011,NING HsuAt.a.] Our readers will recollect that we have lately published several articles and communications respecting our commerce with the Canadas, and the differences of opinion between the officers of the Upper and Lower. Provinces, as to the pro per construction of the lute Canada Trade Act. The result of all which was., that American mer chandise, in American bottoms, was excluded from the _ports of the Upper Province, and ad. mitted to those of the Lower, After all, that Ms been said, and the assurances that had been given from Montreal, we were not a little sur p4ised last week at the news of the seizure of se veral American boats laden with ashes at the lat ter place. The Montreal papers, however, re ceived this morning, have surprised us again— but more agreeably. The Courant of the 31st ult. says, " We are authorized to state that his Excellency the Governor has given a positive order for the'release of the boats and property in question without any other reference to the law, than the positive opinion of his Majesty's Attorney• General, as giVen.to the officer of the Customs at the Coteau du Lae, in favour of the legality of such importations, which had been authorized by custom in this port for many years previous to the Canada Trade Bill being enforced. Line T tst es] We have translated a long article from the Spanish Paper called the Bestaurador,(see another port of' Sys this because it shows, in an open and striking manner what are the views of that royalist faction which the arms of France have now made predominant in Spain. Princi. v ies are avowed, and strenuously maintained, which would disgrace the darkest ups of ty. runup and superstition. Inextinguishable hatred between the subjects of the same state is hailed as the surest proo f of good government ; ncharity which can endure . to see a Catholic same and p rotestan t living in peace Under e roof, is denounced as one of tho.most mon strous of cr imes. 'What a triumph' fOr France ! She has co ntributed the full for of her 'power ful empire to extinguish the light of liberty, just 01 it was beginning to dawn. She has condemn ed, as far as in her lay, a nation of 12 millions of people, to -utter ignorance of the very first prin ciples of civil virtue and happiness. This is a crime not merely against national law, but against hums nature. The barbarous nations who con federated to the destruction of the Roman Em. hire obeyed the natural impulses of want, and destroyed only what they were not knowing enough to appreciate: bat for F rance, in the 19th century—for France, boasting h e rself to be pre eminently civilis,ed, enlightened, and even free —for such a nation to strain every nerve to pre• vent:another front enjoying even a taste of the saute advantages,' argues a depravity or moral as Well political principle, with which even Vandals would 'have blushed to claim kindred. As to the Spaniards themselves, we hardly know whether we ought to deprecate that course of cruel and bigotted Government to which they seem to be doomed : we fear that nothing but the-most grinding oppression will rouse them from their present state of national degradation. advice will perhaps succeed in checking the violence off . Vordittand's passions, and if advice has no power, representations of a more serious nature, backed by the authority of this country, may be attended with greater success. Dir,..w Times.] Another depression took place in our Funds yesterday, which has excited considerable inte rest. Without any apparent cause, there con tinues to exist upon 'Change a degree of anxiety ) which every little rumour acts upon, and an ap prehension that this country will betome involv ed in political disputes with the Continental Powers respecting the future Government of Spain. Another, and more effective cause for the daily agitation in the Funds, is their present high prices, which, should any dis pute arise, must be materially reduced before they could sink to the ordinary prices of a time of war. Consols have varied near one per cent. They were at 83k, clos ed at 82f I, and very extensive sales were made after the usual hour of business at 82.1 I. Nothing but the exces. sive sensitiveness which prevails on the Stock Exchange could give even a momentary weight and currency to scientific rumours at the pre sent moment, when the grand object of all the Governments of Europe is to preserve tranquillity ; nor is there any thing in the most respectable advice* from Pads which gives the slightest countenance to such reports. It was asserted by some persons yesterday, that intelligence had been received of the positive refusal of King Ferdinand to acknowledge the Spanish Loan in any manner whatever. Here we are once more under a necessity, which has very often arisen, of referring to the New Times for accurate information. It. will be seen from the Private Correspoadence in that Paper of Satur day last, that the representati ons of the French Government were sent off from Paris for Madrid only last Saturday se'nnight. We need scarcely add, that it is impossible an answer to them should have been received. It is very odd that with the plain facts bef ore their eyes people should be so easily deceived. The prices of Spanish Bonds maintained a firmness at between 26 and 27. The transactions in the French Rentes were done at 90f. with the exchange 25. 79. To add to the alarm prevailing in the City, there happened to be more than usual inquiry 'or warlike stores upon the Baltic walk, and the Aces we understand are on the advance. . and with the spring the friends of liberty, with better determination and experience, might be again strong Ili the field ; but we have so often had our best 'expectations disappointed that we are almost afraid to entertain a hope for Spain. DIPLOMATIC PAPER. EXTRAORDINARY CASE of DELUSION. {MORNING eos.r.] The ;toile an d Pitote of Tuesday reached us last night by Express. They contain but little intelligence from `:pain, and that little possesses 110 particular interest or importance. TA.mbassa he King was holding Courts at Seville, and our - dor, Sir William A'Court, made his first appear ance there since the 11,?storation, on the 14th instant. The 'Unite triumphantly asserts that his Excellency " had congratulated Ferdinand in the name of the King of England, upon his happy liberation!" This, we are convinced, must be an ultra fabrication ; for how could Sir William, who knew that the Government whom he represents always considered Ferdinand free agent, admit that he had been a prisoner And how could he congratulate him on storation to liberty without making that admis sion ? The fact is, that the 14th inst. was Fer dinand's birth-day, and was kept as such ; and that the compliments usual on such occasions were pa id by Sic William as well as by the other Ambassadors, without any reference to the events which have lately taken place. Thho e King of Spain has changed the Mters w hitherto represented him at the various Conti nental Courts. With respect to England no new a ppointment has be en made. Whether this is to be considered as a confirmation of the existing one, or as a sign that he dues not wish to culti vate an, intimate connection with this countrbe y, can not yet be ascertained. Whatever may r oe, the motive, the return of Sir William to his post cannot fail to preduce beneficial results. His S re reams!' PRESS. 1 The French Papers of Monday morning or even i n g contain little of any interest. Ferdi nand's emancipation has co ntributed nothing to the general tranquillity of Spain. The Consti tutionalists are still active, particularly in Estre madura, and in severe' provinces the French are now not acting at all. Quesada and Villains have been able to make no head against the followers of the Constitution in Estremedura. The Ewe cinado had leftMondijo some time since to march on Caceres, where he was at first opposed by musketry, but subsequently succeeded in enter ing. Landers, the Political Chief, j oined him with four hundred volunteers, and Truxillo, which was undefended, would, it WAS supposed, be the next object of his attack. A dispatch from the Captain-General of that Province affects to give details of successes by Larochejayulin over the Constitutionalists; but it appears that this Ge neral bad retired to Toledo, for the purpose of escorting Ferdinand to Madrid ; and the last letters from Bayonne assert, that e was Pa so pressed by the Constitutional forces of lencia and others, as to be obliged to retreat to Toledo with heavy loss, leaving numbe rs rs of his wounded behind him at Talavera. action with the French General took p l a ce near the Bridge of De Giraldo, on the 4 29th of Sep tember, and on the 14th of October the Ernpeci nude was in full march on Truxillo, almost w ithin a day's march o f the scene of action. The French appear comparatively passive fora while, as if they wished Ferdinand to feel how little can be done by his followers of the. Faith, to whom the Constitutionalists are every way superior. The Pilote has a paragraph on this speculation :----" SOITIO persons (this paper says) " look on the present conduct of the French " army in Spain, which takes no part in the " events of the war in Estremadura and Amin " Whin, and which appe ars to abandon the Army lc of the Faith to its own force, as'a proof of the " disapprobation 'signified by our Government " respecting the acts which have signalized the " beginning of Ferdinand the Seventh's ad " ministration." It is clear the French Govern ment cannot approve of the insane acts of the tyrant; they are calculated to arm all classes against hitn,and rouse universal hostilityall through Spain. The country cannot settle into tranquil lity beneath such tyranny ; it carries confiscatim proscription, and terror among thousands, ar arms the bands of despairing multitudes for the individual safety. If the French troops wi drew, the reign of the tyrant would not la: day. The Constitutionalists would be su. perior and triumphant oven in Madrid, and the wretches of that capital, who now howl for an absolute King and t he Inquisition, would then tune their throats to their former cries, and shout as loudly for the death of the tyrant and the restoration of the Constitution. A gene ral armistice is stated to have taken place in Catalonia, to wait the effect of Ferdinand's man date of surrender to the different garrisons. Mina and Rotten, it is asserted, have parleyed to gain time, but are resolved to defend the province to the last and hold out Barce lona and Montjui while they have an ounce of provisions : better far for these deter mined Chiefs to fall in the field of battle, than perish like the unfortunate Riego, 'on the stones of a dungeon, or by the e xecutioner's hands.— Ferdinantl's orders pppear almost every where disregarded ; Carthagena and Alicant have both refused to open their gates on the tyrant's procla mation and summons, and they are places of great strength. Spain has hitherto been abandoned to her enemies, and the Spaniards made no stand for their independence ; but still, if those yet in arms can hold out. the winter, the French troops could act but- very partially during that season, ( From Madam Du NOVEICS Letters. ) The following story will appear to you incre dible and fabulous ; and perhaps I need not as sure you that I had great difficulty in believing it ; but as I had it from the lips of the indivi dual who forms the subject of it, and as he was a visionary, I attributed it to the effects of a dis turbed imagination. The event (at least as far as this person's mind was concerned) occurred in our day, and is attested by many in the city of Nismes. The tale is thus told. Mr. Graverol was alone in his study one day about two o'clock in the afternoon, when a stranger was ushered in ; as soon as he was seated, a conversation started up between the two. The stranger addressed Mr. G. in elegant Latin, saying that he had heard his learning spoken highly of, and he had come from a distant country to converse with him on things which had embarrassed the ancient philosophers. After Mr. Graverol had replied suitably .to the compliment offered to his talents, some very ab struse subject was introduced and handled in a scientific manner. The stranger did not confine himself to the Latin language, but he spoke Greek, and some Eastern tongues, which Mr. G. also understood perfectly. The latter was astonish ed and delighted with his guest's profound infor mation ; and foi• fear some person should cull On him and interrupt it, he proposed a walk, which was readily acceded to by the stranger. The day was delightful, and you know there are some beautiful walks in the neighbourhood of Nismes ; they left the house with the design of going through the gate, called the Crown-gate, which leads to some gardens, and a very fine avenue of noble trees. But as Mr. Graverol's house was a considerable distance from the place above men tioned, they were obliged to cross several streets before they reached it: During the walk Mr. G. was observed by many of his acquaintances-- lie being well-known in the city—to use much gesture, and he was also noticed to be speaking at intervals : what added to the surprise, was, that no person was seeu accompanying him. Some of his friends sent to his wife, expressing their fear that he was deranged, describing the manner in which lie was noticed to pass through the streets. She being greatly itlermed at intelli gence so extraordinary, dispatched several per sons in search of him; but they could not find him, as he had gained the shady walks outside the city with his new acquaintance, After expatiating on the subjects of ancient and modern philoso phy, and reasoning on the secrets of nature, they entered on the wide fields of magic and en chantment. The stranger argured with great in genuity and power, but lie exceeded the bounds of probability; and Mr. G. cried out " Stop, stop ! Christanity forbids us proceeding to such lengths—we should not pass the prescribed boundaries," lie had no sooner said this (at least according to the narration spread abroad) than the stranger vanished. Mr. Graverol being at that moment at the extreme end of one of the avenues, which was terminated by some pali sades, was compelled to return the same way he went. On turning round, and not perceiving his companion, he became greatly alarmed, and ut tered a dreadful shriek, which brought some men, who were employed in pruaing the trees to him. When these people perceived how pale and flighted lie was, they gave him some wine which they had in a flagon, and used all the means they could devise to restore him to himself. As soon as he recovered his recollection, he inquir ed if they had noticed where the gentleman had gone with whom he had been walking. lie was very much agitated when these good people in formed him, that no one was with him when he passed uncler the trees where they were at work; neither had a single individual be'en in his corn pany since he came in their sight, and they had , observed him some distance before he :cached them. They added, moreover, that when he pass ed, it struck them as being somewhat singular that he should he so deeply engaged' in apparent conversation, although he was alone. Mr. G learning this, went immediately home, where he found his house in disorder and alarm concerning the reports which had reached his wife. lie then related his adventure. When the story was noised abroad, it was publicly asserted all over the city, that the Devil had visited Mrs. Graverol.--Ile was a very gentlemanly man and an advocate, and related the circumstances to me as I have detailed them. When h'e concluded, he said 44 this is accurately what happened : you now are acquainted with the facts as well as myself, and you may exercise your judgment respecting d them as shall best seem fit. And all that I can ?ir add is, the stranger was a very learned and elo ,th- quoit man, and reasoned like a philosopher." st a Mrs. Lowruznnounn, the venerable widow of the celebrated painter of that name, who resided so long on Hammersmith Terrace, still lives in the house of her departed husband. The house is finely situated on the bank of as b ea utiful a bend as there is any where along the Thames, excepting . , perhaps, Richmond ; and the memorable 'land scape painter, who was so remarkable for the astonishing brilliancy of his colours, delighted in his residence. The house faces Barnes, has a view of Chiswick, and looks on the grounds on which Brandenburg House formerly stood. The widow is 71i years of age; but she has good health, and is so re markably gay and intelligent, that her conversation is much courted. The remains of her husband are deposited in a tomb in Chiswick church-yard, about half a mile off; and Ilogarth's tomb appears in the same church -yard, at a short distance front Loutherbourg's. w ~~ y .,..~~-' CAUTION TO 110TEl•KEUEILS, SLC.--- , A young man of genteel address, wearing sometimes a frock coat, and' occasionally a white great coat, white hat, &c. about silt feet in height, lately in troduced himself to a respecpible Coffee-house in the City, as a nephew of a respectable public character ; he swindled the Proprietor of small sums of money under various pret nces ; reee senting that he has lately married a young L pr ady of 10,0001. fortune ; on which statement he intro duced two' women of immoral character; and finally decamped without paying his bill, and op. parently without a farthing in his pocket. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. The following letter is said to have been sent from Cadiz to a certain Foreign Secretary by one of his secret agents, who received it from a valet de-chambre, who found it in the pockets of his Catholic Majesty : " TO MY BROTHER THE KING OF SPAIN. " I have received your letter, my Brother, or rather my Cousin, for we are so related. Thank God, you will soon be out of the hands of your rebel subjects, and at this I rejoice much with yeti, both as a parent, neighbour, and friend, being entirely of your opinion as to our legitimate and sacred power. \%r reign by the authority of God, who has given us sub jects, and we are responsible to nobody but God for our actions, and to the priests, as you and I agree. From this it is an indubitable consequence that we ought never to receive the law from our subjects, never to treat with them, or at least never regard ourselves, as engaged by any such treaties, they being all null and void by divine right. It is the last degree of humiliation in persons of our rank to make promiies to our sub jects and to keep them, as our ancestor of gloriois memory, Louis XIV. very properly said, and he knew his business as a King. Under his sceptre the French never murmured, what ever taxes might be imposed on them. To whatever state of misery they were reduced, not one of them in his life dared to breathe a word. He took their last sou to build his palaces. make war, and pay his mistresses ; that was actually to reign. Charles 11. of England did nearly the same. Restored to his throne like ourselves, after twenty years exile and the death of his father, he declared loudly that he liked better to submit to a foreign King, the enemy of his country, than to treat with his people, or consult them on the affairs of the State--sentiments worthy of his rank, and his blood, and of his name. I who write this to you my cousin, might be the greatest King in all Europe, if I had only chosen to act in accord with my subjects. Nothing was more easy ; but Heaven preserve me from such baseness. I obey Congresses, Princes, Cabinets, and very often receive very embarrassing orders, that are always very in totem, which I obey, however ; but what my people desire, and what. I have promised them, I never do ; I have so much pride of heart, and so much of the dignity of my race. Let us my cousin, preserve this noble pride with regard to our sub jects ; cherish our ancient prerogatives, and govern according to the manner of our predecessors, never listening to any body but to our valets, our mistresses, our favourites, and our priests. This is for the honour of the Crown. Whatever may happen, perish, say I, all the people, rather than divine right. " On this subject, my Cousin, I agree entirely with all your sentiments ; and pray to God to maintain you in them. But I cannot approve of your repugnance for that species of govern ment, which is called representative, but which I call recrea tive ! there being nothing in the world that I know of, more amusing for a King, without mentioning its usefulness, which is not trifling. I love absolute power, but thia—for my interest —this is a great deal better. There is no comparison between them ; and I very much prefer the recreative system. The representative suits me remarkably well, provided I appoint the Deputies, which, very fortunately, I do in this country'. Representation, my Cousin, is an El-Dorado for us ; money er is shoe erect upon us. Ask my Nephew, .Angouleme ; we nev count here but by millions, or rather, we never count at all, since we have got Deputies for ourselves ; a majority in ad vance, which costs but little. lam sure its oes not cost me so much in a year, for the whole majority, a Madame du Cayla costs me in a month ; and by means of this I have as much gold as I please—money without measure or strait ; and the we please—that is to say, what our courtiers please. Divine right is not in the least injured. We still do just what departed Brother " Your Cortes have disgusted you with deliberative assem blies, but one example proves nothing. My also did not agree with them, but this did not prevent me again having r ecourse to them, and I find myself well off by so doing. Will you be a poor unhappy wretch like him, who, because lie wanted fifty millions—what misery!--fifty thousand millions would be no greater embarrassment to me than a pinch of snuff! I wa. - . of the same o pinion as you are of before I visit ed England. 1. did not at all like the representative system ; but there I learned what it really is. It' the Grand Turk had the least notion of it he would seek no further, and would make I.his Divan into two Chambers. Try it, my Cousin, and tell me your opinion. You will soon see that your colonies, your gal. icons, your Peru, are poor things compared with this inven. tion, or with a budget discussed and voted by your own Depu ties. You must not allow yourself to be frightened at such words as liberty, publicity, deputation, representation, &c. ; these are all for our benefit ; their, advantage to us is immense, and the danger nothing, whatever may be said to the contrary. A comparison will make this quite clear to you. The forcing pump, or better still, a Papin's digester, which supplies you every minute with a rich sou p , if you know bow manage it, but which bursts and does mischief if you are ignoranti int, of it, is a complete type of t he r e p resentativ t more stem. It is only necessary to hea t it to a certain po neith ernor less, which is very easy. This is our Minister's duty, and the soup or the produce is a thousand millions. After this, tell me of your absolute power which produced my late bro ther. How mach ? three or four hundred millions a year, with great trouble. Now each budget is a thousand millions, and no trouble about the matter. What think you of this, my Cousin ? Come, come, give u p y our anti p athies, and m ake a family dish with us, is nothing like it. We will help each other to prevent accidents. " If you had had this repretentative slow pace at the time of the revolution of the Isle of bean, you would not have wanted money to pad your troops, who would not then have aided the revolutionists. I too should not have had to send assistance to you, not to expend a hundred millions to extricate you from this embarrassment; not that I reproach you, my Cousin, with this trifle; among friends every thing is in common. The money and the blood of my people belong to you as mach as to me : do not spare them in time of need—l„ can supply you wits ten times as much if necessary' without inconveniencing myself in the least, and without it costing you a single farthing. I shall not require you to r eimburse me as I was made to reim burse my friends—this was asort of villainy on the part of my Allies. On the contrary, when I restore you, I shall give you money as well as your subjects, as much as you please—l give money to all the world, and pay for every tiling. I paid for my restoration, and I will pay for your's, because I have plenty of money, and a great deal of complaisance, also, for those foreign Sovereigns who keep me from receiving laws from my people. I pay them when they come here, and I pay you when _I come to you—occupied or occupying, I pay fur the occupation. I paid &Chen and Platoff—l pay '1)1 milk and Ballasteres. I pay Cabinets and Powers. I pay Cortes and Regency, I pay the Swiss. After paying all these people, I have still enough to keep not only my ;Nerd, a house , which , is here, and which is very well and very different from that of my prdecessor ; but also mistresses, who naturally cast me some thing. The Budget answer* for all, and this is that repteien tation of which in your country you are so much afraid ; this is silliness and prejudice, my Cousin, there is nothing in the world so good. • "'l'o put up this machine in your country, and put it in mo tion, without danger to your Royal person, I will send you, if you please, M. de an admirable man, or some other of our friends, with a dozen * prefects. Trtiat to them, in a very short time they will organise you two Chanibers and a Minis try, behind which you may sleep in safety, while they are making money for you.
