THE LONDON JOURNALS. Extracts from the Morning Papers, October 22. [BRITISH Par.SS.J Sunday's French Papers are destitute of almost any intelligence ; but it is clear resistance has not ceased in Spain with Ferdinand's restoration and the dissolution of the CorteOrt. etten,, the floVertior of Barcelona, has deterthihed, it is as serted, to bury himself undeV the ruins of BarCe lornt sooner than surrender; and the officer who ceinniunds in Sett d'Urgel, though confined to his bed: by a severe wound, has formally declared he will not yield the fortress while he has an ounce of provisions, or until a .practicable breach is made. The spirit in which things are now con duced in Spain may be dedulmi from a single Wiance :—a gardener, of the togit of Abisbal,of Ow name of Barret, who had served in a Consti. tutionalhattalion, and had escaped after the ca. 140lation of Llers, was assassinated at Ampourda, a , petty village in the neighbourhood of Abisbal, bye party of the Faith banditti, and his head placetl, in the night, on the window of his wife's chamber. This horrible atrocity has filled with indignation and disgust the entire population of that part of Spain, and carried alarm through the preVince. Ferdinand had arrived at Seville on the Bth ; , illuminations and joy by the rabble, this same who insulted the Cortes on their departure,greeted the entry of the tyrant into the capital of the south of Spain. There, it is said, he will remain some time. The memory of Madrid is not gratelul to him : he will find his calculation deeply disap pointed, however, if he expects his toad through Spain to lie smooth before him. The ConstitU.; tional bands are not yet disarmed'. The state. rneuts of I)'Eroles' defeat. and capture appear confirmed by the last accounts from Perpignan. The:Ultra Journali are silent upon it, as they invariably have been on all affairs of the sort, except to alter their whole character. Every Eye will be now turned to Catalonia. There, as during the entire war, the only stand is at this moment made. But we fear an overpowering 'tench force will be sent under Lauriston into that province, anti that Mina and his brave coal. itlOrs beneath the weight of numbers. ~~ h gY V ~ ~&!i ~~~Y [MOIINtNO POST.] The intelligence contained in the French Papers is still more important than it is varied ; not indeed in a military, hot in it political point df view. The removal of the Duke of Bellow) from the situation of Minister at War is a most remarkable event. llad it occurred before the opening of the contest, it might have been the result of personal intrigues and secret ambitions; but coming us it does at the close of a campaign, the success of which may in u great measure be ascribed to the effective, footing on which be hid placed the army, we must look for higher causes than the competition and importunities of rivals to justify the indiction of disgrace upon a' meritorious public servant at the, very time when he and the whole nation expected that he would, be rewarded. „These censerore fear, can only be found in the complete triumph of the Ultras over their moderate colleagues in the VrenchNlinistry, and in the adoption of prin. eiples of Governnvent which will not allow men connected with the revolution to hold any sha l l in the administration of the State. It is worthy or notice that the Ordinance which gave the si tuation of the Duke of Belluno to the Baron de Damas (chosen no doubt because he belongs to an ancient family), was preceded by an Extraor dinary Council of 'Ministers holden at M. de Vil !tiles's, at the close of which the Minister for Fo relp Affairs (Viscount Chateaubriund) waited on Monsieur and remained with him till eleven at night. There is no doubt that the proposed dis missal formed the subject of discussion both in dee Connell and with the King's brother, and it seems 'very doubtful whether it may not be fol lowed by others, for the Ministers of Marine and the , Interior are also mentioned as functionaries " who will not retain their places." If this epu rityou.bnetlected, little difficulty will be found to bring down France to the level to which the reatored Ferdinand is fast reducing Spain. That 'the war in the Peninsula was urged and underteken by the Ultras with the view of ac quiring the means of annihilating the French Cbarter,is every day growing more apparent. The temporary success of their areas, or, to speak more trnly, or their gold, now leads them to scorn dis gulst,,and they begin to ettst out of their ranks, as unworthy intruders, the constitutional allies to whose blindness and assistance they are indebted more than half their triumph. Should they find that public iedignation does not express itself with energy against conduct its op posed to the principles and declarations of the Charter as to the best interests of the country, they will proceed in their rash ca reer till the wish expressed by the Marquis of Talent on presenting his credentials to the King of Spain at Port St. Mary's be realized, and France and Spain be " united its one nation," unfter the iron sceptre of absolute Despotism. That such a consummation would be long borne bythe people is however, we trust, not to be ex pected ; and that England would tolerate such an „ , union of• the two 'countries as the Noble Maltptis tecomniende, is' also what:neither policy 4100 Patilvtisor would allow. [MOONING- ClittONlcLE.] The financial difficulties in which King Fur. &nand nod his Spiritual Adviser, Confessor, and Minister, have involved the wretched Spain by tlu Decree of the Ist instant, have already been pointed oat in The CAronieie,and 'are felt on the Steifk-Exthange, 'both- here and at Paris. lie hus`°in fact, utterl)i , destined' his 'credit and re ., aotiiities,.tind more than'doutded iiis expences; bjf confirming the appointments and . claims of all the hun'g'ry adventliMrs,'*ho '4urrotinded Y is trim pliant inulkiforial car.

Go vcrulani4l4oolicited' ,and accused of having rpupparieti ,, revolotionary and democratic plea. I , , sures ; as far as relates to some of these Govern ments, the charge may, perhaps, be unjust, as they will be found to have rather aided and abetted secretly the attempt to overthrow what publicly they pretended to acknowledge ; but the people of these countries acting under the faith of treaties, were induced to embark their properties on the faith of the connection, and are exposed to very material losses by this arbitrary departure 'from faith and good principles. A question arises out of the political chaos in which Spain is plunged, of no small importance.— NV hat will be the conduct of the Spanish army now in . possession of Lana ? Their force is small, resources they have none ; they can neither recruit ' where they are, nor obtain supplies of any description. Hence their inability to remain in their present-state, or to act for ,themselves. From whom can they receive assistance ? or to what side incline to escape from certain progressive destruction if they do not obtain it ? La Serne, Canterau, anti Valdes, are violent Constitutionalists ; they re volutionized the Peruvian army, expelled Pe tuela, Cevallos and his adherents from the Vice royalty, chief command, and country, and be came even more compromised with Ferdinand anti the ancient despotic system than even the troops of the Peninsula. From the free Government they have received honours and rank, as a reward for those services then declared highly praise» worthy. All these preferments are now annulled, their conduct is reprobated, and they are virtu ally termed traitors. Thus, although French emissaries may have hastened to intrigue in the Pacific, if England were equallY active, and the real state of affairs in Spain were explained to them by persons who merited their confidence, and knew their characters and interests, it is more than probable, indeed it is certain, that the edifice of Peruvian emancipation would be completed, and that this small re mains of the Spanish Constitutional army would prefer uniting to support the cause of independ ence than to becoming the tools of Frenchmen, or the slaves of the Spanish absolute Monarch.— From the latter they have nothing to expect but the fate of their unfortunate comrades, whilst under the Peruvian Republic they may aspire to the glory and honour of becoming its saviours and protectors, and to the reward to which their services so justly entitle them. ' [Maw Times.] We have received the French Papers to Sun day. The Journal des Di:bats contains part of a Note .of Count Nesseirode to Lord Strang _ ford relating to the 'negocintions with the Porte.— The general tenor of this Note, as far as it has been published, is pacific; and upon the whole it' seems to afford some hope of amelioration to the affairs of, Greece, without a prompest of hostilitiei between Russia and 'Turkey. The King of Spain arrived at Seville on the Bth inst. Ite was received by great crowds with acclama tions, and in .the evening there were illuminations and other rejoieings:—On our Stock Exchange the confusion of the holder* of Spanish Stock etintitrues to increase ; and they.are selling at al most any rate. The Bonds of 1821 were in the course of the day at e3+, and closed at • atin. tntilvideal, we are assured, who bought 90,0001, worth at 63{, actually sold the whole of them yesterday at 931. This Gentleman must at least regret that .he did not attend to the reasoning of The Neu Thies.—ln the afternoon the prices, somewhat improved, in consequence of a letter said to have been received from Paris, and stating that the Bonds had risen 4 per cent. on Sunday—which, if true, proves that the French are less mindful of the Sabbath than we are on this side of the water. Colombian Bonds Wave suffered a little from the rumours of 'assist ance to be given by France to Spain to reconquer the South American' Colonies. These Bonds closed at 54f. 'We'have already said that we do not believe France will engage in so Quixotic an enterprise. Portuguese Scrip has recovered and is at per. Poyais 'Bonds if I The exami— nation*at the Mansion-House seem to have given the death-blow to the 'finances of his Highness the Cacique of Poyaiii The other Foreign Se curities were a shade lower than on Monday ; but the British Funds continued steady. [Twa Times.] A circumstance occurred upon the Stock-Ex change yesterday which deserves some notice, and will lead us into 'a few remarks. It appears that the fall of Spanish Bonds has been so sen sibly felt by, a race that, indeed, feels very eery. at) , on such subjects—namely; the money ad. venturers—that one of the (seriously, we pre sume) proposed that steps should be taken to in duce our Government to Interfere in their be. half, and "to move Ferdinand the Magna. nimous to alter his determination, and to sanction that loan which has been contract. ed by his enemies for what he thinks his ruin. A rational proposition, certainly! What would the Complainants in this case wish Ministers to do 1 We will ,answer the question for them— sacrifice the national interest in order to Indem nify them in their speculations, which bad no. thing bur self in view ! Por how are Ministers to approach Ferdinand, in order to induce him to, burden his people with the repayment of a of a sum of money advanced for his debasement ? Why, certainly, with some proposition of an ad. vantage to counterbalance the great loss which it is proposed to him volunterily to incur : and how that Is to be done but at the expence • of the British people at large, by the sacrifice of some ) Interest, or the relinquishment of sepia 4.4i1f br'theirs, we defy the wit of man to dilicover. We must, perhaph, threaten his Ma. jetty;` and how is the threat to be' enforced, Oa , cordition not being fulfilled, ,but. by our blood or treasure ? Another loan is uPcfri 0 11 ),taPis., we heiar ; the consideration of which, heing prospec. ,• title, will greatly illustrate our reasoning upon thtit which is past. We beg leave to.ask t who ther the British Government, acting on., their own behalf, have ever yet been , able,to induce oroblige the Emperor ,of Austria to Ray the ban which he contracted, and for. which they arf guarantees ? I f 004 how, interfering in. an tali in which they are disinterested. spec,. tators, are they to expect success ? It is said that his Imperial Majesty is now actually en gaged in contracting a loan among British sub jects, to repay the debt for which their Govern ment is responsible. Certainly men have a right to advance their money for any object they please not prohibited by the laws .; but if neither prin cipal nor interest of this debt shall be paid, which we firmly believe will ere long prove to be the case, is it credible that the lenders will have the impudence to come to Government, and apply to them for relief? If they do, the answer is ready—" Why, we could not obtain our own debt from this man, what right have you to ex pect that we should undertake anew the unplea sant office of dunning him for yours?" And to any foolish and impertinent application of our Government in such a case, the reply of his Majesty would be equally on the surface " This is no affair of yours, I have already " been sufficiently pestered by your demands " heretofore ; leave me to deal as 1 can with my " own creditors." [MORNING HERALD.] The cause of the Spanish Constitutionalists seems to be at an end, now thatthe French have obtained possession of Cadiz. It is understood that the efforts of the Cortes were paralysed by the want of money. The people of Spain, though in many instances apparently extremely enthusiastic In favour of the new order of things, yet when taxation was proposed as a means for carrying on the war, almost invariably refused to furnish their quota. The Cortes tried the system of Loans, but our readers are already aware of their want of success in this respect. It is supposed by many, that the existing Spanish Bonds are worth nothing; for that the restored Government is not likely to acknowledge them.: This idea may, however, have been put forth 1.3 y such as are not, but who may wish to be, possessors of those Bonds, at low prices, with the hope of selling them hereafter at a considerable profit. Others, we hear, who are holders of the Bonds yet entertain sanguine hopes that the Government will eventually ac knowledge them. On a subject of so doubtful a nature, and were a great number of people are interested in various ways, it is difficult to form a proper judgment. It would be certainly a very lucky speculation for any one to purchase things of this description at 25 or 3Q, which should eventually rise to the price of par, or 100; besides being all the while in the receipt of good interest. But speculations of this na ture may be called gambling, and are almost as much to be reprobated as any one entering a gambling-house for the purpose of staking a small sum with the hope of winning a large one. The principal difference is, that, in one case, a man enters the gambling market in the morning, and the brokers do not ply him with in toxicating liquors, though too many of them w ill administer to his hopes, that they may derive their quarter per cent. commission on the pur chase of whatever uncertain thing they think their customer may, in his cups, or his dreams, have fancied over night. But In the case of the noted gambling-houses, it he well known to be the practice togive copious libations in the first instant thank: gamblersmay be incapable of knowing what they are doing. It has been said, that the late Mr. Ricardo had been frequently remarkably lucky io speculations of this' nature, and that his immense fortune was made in consequence. It ought, however, to he remembered that, if one man gains by schemes of this sort, it is at the expense of others, who, as a necessary con sequence, lose. How many have waddled out of the Alley, and are called " Lame Ducks," in comparison with one who has retired rich ? —But we do not keep in remembrance the former; all our ideas are fixed on the latter ; nay, in general, the memory of the unlucky, and therefore ruined schemers, are by us held in ab horrence ; while the fortunate man, or he who, through his life, may have had the forti tude to realize (as the Stock-Exchange phrase expresses it), is, comparatively, worshipped. Whether the French will retain possession of Spain for any term of years, is a matter to be seen hereafter. It is too probable that they will hold that country, under one pretence or other, and very likely with a large army, which the French Government may find it full us conve nient to keep in a foreign country, as run the risk of keeping it at home, for It might bring about another Revolution. But whoever has read much of history must know, that nations rarely, if ever, relinquish their hold of such countries as they may have conquered. England has got possession of immense possessions in the East Indies under one pretence or another ; and whatever may have been our professions in the assistance we rendered one state against another, there is no sign of our allowing the native Princes to recover possession of those territories into which our troops have found their way. What the consequences may he even tually to England, iu a political respect, it Is hard to tell. Rut our hopes are, that the Ministry of England may remain at peace as long as they can. —lt is time enough to go to • war when we can no longer avoid it. We should scarcely think, however, that. the French Bourbon Government would dare to think of provoking a war with us; they would not have much to gain by so doing they would put even their very existence as a family, holding the Crown of France, at stake, by provoking us. The Bourbons must feel uneasy at the attitude of Austria, possessed as the Government of that country is of young Nape. leou. It is the interest of France to have Eng land for an ally, if it be only to keep in cheek the growing power of Russia. Some years ago, w h e n the . late Judge Gnose was presiding during the A.ssizes at 13ury St. Ed!. mud's, a dog which happened to have followed 'some one into Court, gave tongue rather loudly ', at the same time with one of the, Barristers., Im. mediate-1y there was a c ry 0f 44 Turn that dog put t" but his Lordship, yam in this instance ,showed himself to be a good Judge, dryly said, 64 Turn out , the man he belprip ,tcsl!it 44l we shall soon get rid 'of the dog." CHARACTER, OF FERDINAND VII. The character of the present KING of SPAIN is not generally known in Europe, notwithstand ing the conspicuous proofs he has given, more particularly on the last free ebullition of his rage, of cherishing some of the vilest sentiments which ever dishonoured the heart of any man. He is a strange mixture of opposite qualities, which con found our judgment, when we closely examine him, and conjectures are exhausted, as to which is his predominant passion. At seeing such a be ing occupy a throne, and regulate the destinies of a great nation, we are disposed to take a very melancholy view of human nature. Brought up from his infancy by priests and domestics, by turns flattered and persecuted, the object of irreconcile able hatred, and of enthusiasm, which almost reached adoration, bandied about betwixt his fear of his mother, and the praises of his cour tiers ; Ferdinand appears a two-fold being, unit ing all the asperity of a tyrant with the coward ice of a slave'; ferocious and proud in prosperi ty, condescending and base in misfortune ; the enemy of his own friends, when these are no longer of use to him, and always ready to punish those who have sacrificed themselves in vain for him ; mean in defeat, implacable in triumph, and always led by some hidden motive, which he keeps in reserve to falsify the one he assigns for his conduct. His strongest resolutions are al ways conditional ; and when he induces any one to commit himself, Ferdinand does it with a view to forsake him in a moment of danger or defeat., When he was informed, on the morning of the 7th July, that the guards who had devoted them selves to his cause were vanquished, he replied in these words, worthy of Caligula Let them have patience ; I am still Constitutional King." Ferdinand has the art of deceiving the most pe netrating and most observing eye; what a great Poet has said, should be said of him—" That art itself is nathre." lie carries in his pocket the order for the exile of a Minister with whom he familiarly jokes. In the circle at Court be com pliments a man whose disgrace he has just order. ed, and he smiles on the public walk at him whom he has just before pointed out to the po lice as a public enemy. The word country has no signification for him. He congratulated Joseph on having defeated 8,000 Spaniards in the battle of Ocagna, and now he thanks the Duke of An gouleme because he has conquered his kingdom. At Valencay, he asked of Napoleon, as a favour, to take him for his adopted son ; and, when he transacted business, for the first time, ,with the Ministers of the Constitutional Government, he told them he knew the Constitution by hurt, and that he would never permit it to be violated. The following verses of an ancient Spanish Co medy have been applied to him : " Con las reradoras rera, Con las habbuloras habla l Con las jugadoras juegit Col lam bailadoras bails." Ferdinand has no elevation of character—no grandeur in his views. In- business he troubles himself only about trifles : he seeks only the ridi culous side of a subject, and stops at the most useless details. As soon as he is spoken to of the public good, of extensive plans, of profound con ceptions, ho is seized with 'ennui, and like the character drawn by a celebrated poet-L -" Soupire, etend lea bras, fescue roeil et s'endort.” His extraordinary vivacity requires continual ali ment, and as he can digest nothing solid, a large repertory of anecdotes, of nonsense, of the re porta' circulated in the town, must always he pro. vided for his occupation, and amusement. lie doel not know a single word of the services that have been executed for him, but he knows by the secret history, the scandalous adventures of all those who are about him. His desires are either ignoble or puerile; he loves puppets and glitter, and every thing which can amuse the eyes. In his garden there are no Greek statues,. but pagodas and •Cliinese bridges. He sent away from his Palace the fine paintings which orna mented it since the reign of Philip V. and had them replaced by stained paper and costly draz peries. One artist indeed r atid only one, he has largely recompensed; and he painted a plc ture full of ridiculous caricatures and,disgustiug. horrors. Ferdinand does ,not love the.people but the populace, and was never more happy, than when he was surrounded by Manolas clothed in rags, who spoke to him freely, as if he lied been their friend. The washerwomen of Ma drid, who are accustomed to see him walk on the , borders of the Manzauares, where they perform their work, live on the footing of the greatest familiarity with him. They call him Cora de Rosa, S'alada, and he smiles at them -and waves his handkerchief in token, of satisfaction. One of the most prevailing qualities of I?erdinaud's mind is distrust. He believes that nobody ever comes near him but to deceive him, or force him to grant them favours. His favourites are only on good terms with him for very short periods, because the most trifling circumstance makes him dislike them : and when a man whom he has emboldened by familiarity speaks boldly to him, he sees in it a sign of ambition, and he'gets' rid of the danger by banishing the man. All those who have shared his misfortunes who as sisted him in inf a ncy, w h o h ave aided hirn in his enterprizes, have been persecuted by his orders. He sent Ecoiquoi, who , gave him so many proofs of his attachment, Yargita, the possessor of all his secrets, and IVlacanar, the instrument of his vengeance, into banishment. - He gets rid of an old friend in the same ,roanoer a; of an old piece of: furniture and when the person is nut of his sight he is effaced from his memory. The gift of love has been refused to Ferdinand by nature ; his heart is a stranger to those senti ments which embellish thelife of man, and Booth' his misfortunes. It was supposed that he loved' his second wife very tenderly, but he was amusing himself playing nine pins at ,th e m omen t th a t h er bode' WAS :takhw place. He was .the irrecon.. cileable enemy of his brother,., until this latter quarrelled at 'Lome with his wife, and.the Prince of 'Peace, aud. then he wrote the.most affectionate , letters to him, and made him.puperb presents.- - ` Ferdinand: will become.ithe,greatest enemy • of those wlso.buve placedlim above the laws *hkh he swore 4o execute. , :He will spoil the. work of hi, benefactors, and repay them with the black* est ingratitude. lie is forging for himplt the chain which sooner or later he will wear in the eyes of all Europe, and his most implacable ene mies do not wish him any greater evil than the prosperity he is about to enjoy.—(M. Chronicle.) The late protracted wet weather has greatly damaged the potatoe crop on wet land in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, and in some fields it is not worth digging. The turnips, except on dry soils, have nearly completely failed.—The harvest work around Lanark has been going on well. It was supposed that it would be mostly concluded this week, if the weather keep good. It gives us pain to state, that another atrocious MURDER has been perpetrated in this quarter of the country. On Friday last the body of a woman was found on a hill in Glentanner, on Deeside, in such a state as to leave no doubt of. her having. been murdered. A man with whom she was seen travelling on the day preceding is suspected as the murderer ; but we are sorry to say that he has as yet eluded the search which is making for him. An investigation, we under., stand, is just now going on by the Procurator Fiscal for the County into the case.—(Aberdeen Journal.) A respite for fourteen days arrived on Monday se'nnight for Walter Graham, at present under sentence of death in Perth gaol. The Chief Magistrate immediately announced the circum stance to the unfortunate culprit. A singular circumstance occured on Sunday morning at the church of St.Botolph, Altlersgate. Two persons, apparently of humble condition, were marrying, at the altar, and the. Clergyman had arrived at that part of the ceremony, where he says, " Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife ?" when the bridegroom making no reply to this question, the clerk said to him, " You must answer, I will." Instead of doing so, however, he fixed his eye intently on the, clerk, and exclaiming , " I will ?—but l wo'nt !" took up his hat, and left the church. Ile was followed out by a person apparently to expostu late with him, but they were seen no more. The poor girl was quite overcome at the fellow's base ness, and it was some time before she bad re covered sufficiently to leave the church with her friends. EXTRAOILDIWAItY AND SINGULAR PROCREATIOX.“--. There is now living in the neighbourhood of Bollingtous. Cheshire, a man of the name of Joni( JAcksow; the follow ing particulars of whose history, together with that of Ice were related by himself, and can be easily substantiated relates, that he was married the first time in the year 1763, to, one Betty Brown, by whom he had 12 children-6 boys and 6 . girls. In 15 weeks after her death, he married his present wife, who before their marriage was a widow, and had had +5 chikiren, which were then all living ; by her he had 22 children in - 20 years andtifi weeks, the time and circumstances of whose birth were equally singular, and probably unp rece d ente d. H e hi re d a cow from a neigh bour every year during that period (in which he had but two different cows), and in three or four weeks after the cow had calved, each time his wife was delivered of ' a child; but in the 21st year the cow had two calves at the same time, and his wife was then p regnan t ; t h e peop l e i n the: neighbourhood began to predict that his wife also would have two children, which in about three or four weeks was realized • in the birth of two boys. When he took them to tliC Church at Presbury to be baptized, the Minister smiled (as he had had 52 children baptized there before) and said, " Well, John,' have you another?" " Yes, two, Sir," was the reply. " Well, what must they be called ?" " Abraham and Isaac," said , John. When the c hild r e n h a d b een baptised, and the ceterriony was over, :the Minister said, " Well, John, we should have another, and call it Jacob :" anti, faithful, as in times past, hi! about 12 months a f terwar d s , J o h n ' s w i fe blest him with ,i”ither boy', which was' called Jacob r so that he had 33 children bap,. tined in Ptcstbury church, 23 of whom in the space of 22 Yenta. • —( Stockport Advertiser. • COURSE OF EXCHANGE, Otcober 21.
