; rliE LONDON' JOURNALS. DAILY • &trade from the Morning Papers, D.C. 19. (MORNING POST.] The French Papers to the 17th inst., which reached us at a late hour last night, are again Ved with descriptions of new fetes to celebrate lite triumphs of the Spanish campaign, or rather io eve them a degree of importance which they 100 110 t intrinsically possess. As notwithstand , istg the fondness of the Parisians for public ex , bibitioes, the pompous entry of the Duke d'Au , goaleme had produced but little effect; some thing of a more solid nature was provided on Monday last, and whilst the capture of the 'fro , *Aden) was acted by the military in the Elysian fields, distributions of eatables and wine were made various places to the multitude,whosp loyalty was wonderfully excited by the gratification of their stomachs. In the afternoon a grand dinner was given to the Princes by the City of Paris, at the Hotel de Ville, which was attended by Monsieur, the Duke and Duchess d'Angouleme, the Duchess •f Berry, and the Duke and Duchess of Orleans, and their daughter. The Municipal Body having received the Royal Visitors at the foot of the stairs, the Comte de Chabrol addressed them in a com plimentary strain, which drew the following reply "from Monsieur I n the little which I am about to any, you will infer from the emotion which I experience that I cannot express all my senti ments. My son's glory belongs wholly to France and to the army, since he went in obedience to the orders of the King to fight, conquer, and pacify." The banquet was followed by a theatrical sketch, in honour of the circumstance, and by a brilliant ball. In an immense chamber, called the Hall of the Garden, lighted by six thousand wax tapers, upwards of six thousand persons were assembled in the richest and most elegant dresses, and the scene is stated to have been most magnificent. Thus was splendour em ployed to weaken or efface the remembrance of political iniquity. Drortrwso cnitorricmi No information has been received from Paris later than what was known, and the speculators in the Consols, which opened yesterday at 86i L, have coesequently been permitted to devote one day to reflection. During this account, although the Jews have severely smitten the Philistines, still it is not their interest entirely to destroy them. The Bulls appear inclined to close their accounts, but the Bears, although vanquished, are not deficient in game, and feel no inclination to allow their opponents to retire from the contest without punishment. Great efforts have been made to obstruct the retreat of those who have benefited by the late considerable advance, and a decline. of z per cent. in the value of the Consuls has been the natural consequence. The last price was 86 sellers, This alteration lets been occasioned by the state of the account, for there is not even a rumour in circulation calculated, in any respect, to. change the popular opinion. Money also con (inties to be extremely abundant. During the last century the highest price of the Three per Cents. was in June, 1737, when they reached 11 . 07, and the lowest price of. the Th re e p er Ce n t. 71taduced, was on the lit of June, 1797, when they were sold at 47. The public debt is as. Completely an article of commerce, as are corn, Apirits t or any other more tangible property. It is subjected to changes in its value, in proportion to the rate of profits. When the rate of profit it high; the price of stocks must necessarily be low. [THE TIMES.] The affairs of Spain being arrived at a pave, the public attention is removed to the late trans. Atlantic possessions of that country. Are the French to conquer those also ? [tumour states, that they are paving their way to intrigues on the spot ; and' we are vary certain that they are striving to justify the attempt here, by very false representations of the condition of the countries sipiest which they are suspected to meditate aa eaterprize. Vessels arrived from Vera Cruz and the Havannalt bring intelligence of the arrest of the *french General La Motte, and of several spies of‘the same country, in Mexico. They are said tii have been discovered in a treasonable corres pondence with the French Ambassador at Wash. Linton, and have been thrown into close confine relent, Various accounts unite in the statement, that all Frenchmen had been ordered to quit the entintry. With respect to the other point, it - is only necessary to glance upon the extracts which we present every day from the noYalist journals of France, to per itelve how studiously the writers represent the revolution of the South American States as Unde. Wed, nod the party in them attached to the do minution of the mother country as yet in force. YV,rt should lie content to fouud our policy upon thii their statement, and to say, if Old Spain finds fry adherents in her late trans. Atlantic posses. itons so numerous, let her, by their assist. once, recover her dominion. We should be con tent to carry on our commerce equally with Old &id New Spain, as With any other two indepen dent belligerents ; but the necessity of calling in Franc*, proves that without her the contest is decid ; en d Fr i ance has no more right to interfere for the destruction of the independence of New Spain, thaw we have to interfere for it, protection. erance pretended, on her invasion of the Petits• sole, that the reformation of the Qovernment Was not couselidated-7that the people, as a 40Eib were. 6011 in love with ao Inquisition IVO, RS OS4O. ging ; the result of the war has pcovecthp falsehood of those pretence s, for tAe ICtm is ,set: .free, and yet French troops of r c e ssity,, be, left in the Peninsula, to pre,sfaye th,ott ordqr of things to which , it had tipeu spid the Spaniards were so well dia» posed. In like unqnoer, should the trans,At. tantic states he brought io that submission to tileir late Sovereign, Ferdioana, of which it. Is odd they are desirous, and of which they contain IT many pArtisnus„ by means'ot,a, Freuch,arrny, it wilr PP, 0104 drat` : k:reLlCtr.trOopS pre. no. cessary to retain theirs in an allegiance so dear to their hearts—that is, Old and New Spain would both belong to Trance ! We must beg leave to ask, if it is likely, or even possible, that we should see this unmoved ? We find that Mi nisters are increasing our army, and we have said nothing upon this subject, from the in sinuation thrown out that the West Indies was the position for 'which the additional troops were required, owing to the precarious state of those islands from the agitation of the Slave Trade. We hope, however, that France will not let one unmerited success lead her to at tempt a second enterprize of an equally unjust character. It was thus that Buonaparte went on from iniquity to iniquity ; but his course was well sustained; and yet Moscow, where he failed, is not so far from Paris as Lima or Peru ; and the intermediate regions of water are ours. [l.l KM TIMES.] By our Private Correspondence from Naples It appears, that the Minister of that country, M. de Medici, is attempting to adopt a system, which appears at first sight injurious to our commercial interests ; but which, as our Correspondent judi ciously points nut, will probably benefit them in the result. M. de Medici has the reputation of being an able politician, and has introduced many sa lutary reforms in the Finances; but on the par ticular subject to which we are now adverting, his conduct illustrates the adage— A little knowledge is a daniiirous thing. —During the usurpation of Murat, M. de Me dici retired to England ; here no doubt he saw with admiration the wonders effected by manufacturing industry ; he was but too sensible that the prevalent defect of his coun trymen was indolence ; and therefore, like an honest man and a good patriot, he be came anxious to promote manufactures, as a mode of rousing the energies of the Neapolitans, and drawing forth the resources of the nation. Pre mature measures for this purpose, however, will counteract the intended effect. The appre hended prohibition of English manufactures is already producing a greater demand for them ; and if the Neapolitans should be thrown on their own manufactures for a supply, it would be so inadequate to the demand, that the prices would be raised enormously, and an im mense stimulus given to contraband trade ; and after all the exclusive system must be abandoned, from an absolute want both of skill and capital in the Neapolitan .manufacturers to furnish their countrymen with the articles which use has mi. tiered necessary.—We have no right to blame the motives of the Neapolitan Minister ; they are such as a patriotic Minister in any country must act upon ; but his want of sufficient experience in the practical part of commercial'policy has led him into an error, which the force of circum stances will, ere long, compel him to abandon.— Naples is an agricultural country, with few or no great capitalists. She must devise means of ac cumulating capital largely from the products of her soil, before she can, to any great extent, succeed in manufactures. [MORNING} URRALD:j We recently noticed a Decree orthe Austrian Government, dated Milan, and denouncing con fiscation of property and civil death against all Austro-Italian subjects absent without leave, who should not forthwith return.—Some further light has been thrown upon this despotic measure, by private accounts, and by the French Journals. The Paris Constitutionnel gives the names of fifty, or nearly fifty persons, affected by this Decree. They are for the most part persons distinguished by rank or talents, andmany of them fathers of fami lies, What is the Offence by which they have incur red this sentence of attainder . ? I t appears that they are to a man, persons against whom there is not even an accusation. In acts they are not only uncompromiaed, but unaccused; But their opi nions were suspected—they knew themselves to be obnoxionsand they thought it prudent to withdraw themselves, for a. while, froni a Go vernment having the power to send them with out trial to the dungeon or even to the scaffold. Many of them had taken refuge in Switrerland. The Austrian Government forced the unhappy humbled SWiss to drive them out of the Can tons. After this, some went into Spain, which of course they have since abandoned. Many sought refuge in the Netherlands, and some few in this country. The Austrian Govern ment finding that' it could no longer reach them r --for the kingdoms of the Netherlands has hitherto had its - independence respected--more, perhaps, on sufferance than security---the Lom bardo Venetian Government, we say, seeing that the persona of the victims were beyond its reach, has issued this decreed us a formality for the spoliation of their property.. It is well observed by the Paris Journal, to which we have referred, ,that this degree is hut the revival, mutatis mutandis, of the formulary by which the Terrorists, in the French li,evolution,, plundered the emigrants. It is a fact that the Austrian Government is , sadly distressed for money. But. this fact, in stead of affording any palliatinn, only renders the decree rnera(4 6 4 ll by removing all doubt of it* object and motives. This is a sort of cruel raga. City to which any regular Oovernment,profeasing to, respect municipal justice, and acknowledging . any thing like ,regular law, should bins,' to re sort. To strip the innocent children of their inheritance, on ,the ground. of the guilt of the parents, Without any other proof of crimina lity —or even any. charge, than mere ranee--is an outrage . upon the hateful And cruel principle of, attainder, which is Itself 'scarcely consistent with hiunane and civilized legislation. It. is, true that an alternative is left to these tibientees. They are invited ,to return to their domiCile. The . invitation is not unlike that of tho gaoler tO the,: prisoner in 114psure for 'Meaittre', "Master narnordo—carne end be hinged Master Barnardine." They may well be excused coinplyingwitit ft in. the re.a,sonable apnrehenaion if not of banging, at leant of heing thrown into a dungeon for the remainder of their *jives. It is true the Austrian Gevernment may justify itself by the example of that of Turkey. ,But the Grand Seignor has the merit of doing theta things "without Aisguise, or mincing the matter. He makes no pretensions to, and does not recognize the notions of justice and humanity which prevail in Christian Europe. [BRITISH /MEM] Many of the West India Islands seem to be, deeply agitated by the late discussions in the British Parliament, and without its doors, in this country, on the subject of negro slavery ; and in Jamaica, the greatest of our posses sions in the western hemisphere, most violent resolutions have been passed on the subject. At one meeting in the parish of St. Anne, in that Island, those who assembled say—" We con sider ourselves justified in calling on Parliament —on the British nation, to pay us for our posses ' lions, or leave us at liberty to offer our elle " glance where our personal safety can be secured by the observance of legal enactments." At another meeting, at Port Royul, the language of the resolutions is even still more strong and in dignant : those who dictated it must, like Bel cour, 44 have had the sun vertical at their birth, " and been swaddled in the hottest glare of his " meridian beams." They proclaim, " That 44 they spurn with merited contempt and scorn 64 every malicious and calumniating accusation of 46 cruelty and oppression towards their tenantry, 44 who are infinitely more happy than many Eng " lish labourers, and whose comforts and protec g‘ tion can bear no comparison with the wants 66 and miseries of thousands of free-born men " in Ireland, whose moral and political deem " dation never moves the philanthropical friend 66 of the Negro. We have never yet called on " the soldiery to fire on the slave, and, but for ‘‘ the deJusion of our enemies, so unfortunate a 44 necessity would never occur." The furious vio lence of these Resolutions outruns every thing like good sense or reason. We will not dwell on the sophistry by which the sable slave is mildly called a " tenant ;" but the Resolution forms a bitter satire on the extended pauperism of Eng land, and alludes, in language doubly cutting because but too true, to the bondage and miseries of that the Irish peasant. But neither the po verty of the labouring classes here, nor their un exampled wretchedness in the sister country, can form a plea for the continued slavery and sufferings of the African thousands in the western isles. We allow there is something most alarming in the present situation of these Colonies, and the spirit that notoriously prevails in Jamaica and other places among the negroes themselves; but that this has arisen from the discussions in Parliament, founded on the numerous petitions of the Aboli tionists throughout England, and on which Mr. Buxton, in May last, brought forward his motion for a gradual extinction of slavery, we must ex pressly deny.—lt may be that some of the friends of this great measure have been too enthusiastic, and suffered their warm zeal to exceed their judgment, without which, the object they seek, in place of being a blessing, would prove a san guinary curse—svould bring misery to the hapless negroes themselves, and float the West India Island with European blood. THE GREEK CAUSE. The University of Cambridge has nominated a Branch Committee to superintend the applica tion of a Subscription in ,favour of the Greeks. The Chancellor of the University (the Duke of GLOUCESTER) has transmitted a hundred guineas to this Committee. The following are the names of the Gentlemen forming the Committee. We subjoin also the Address which they have put forth : Ckstanthoz BRANCH CO4MlTTEE.—Professor Hewett, M.D. Downing College (Treasurer); Professor Dubree, M.A. Trinity College; Professq.

The Committee deem it expedient, at this time, to call the attention of Membern of the University to the interesting object which they have In view. In doing this, they,appeal in the most earnest manner to those sentiments of humanity and religion which animate the bieasts of their fellow-countrymen. • The contest now pending offers, on end *hand, the pleasing prospect of liberation from unexampled tyranny to the country of Homer and Plato, of Ali Wades and Solon ; on the other hand; if the Crescent be triunphant, either Christianity will be extirpated from those fair regions where the Gospel was first propagated, or its professors will be involved in calamities still more. dreadful than those under which, for these four tenturien, they have groaned. That this afflicting dilemnia must occur is evident to every one who is acquainted with the civil and seligious policy of the Ottoman Government. Very few years have elapsed since' a Proposition for .exterminating the whole Greek population of Turkey was entertained by the Sultan and Divan at Conittatiti: nople. The inhuman treatment experienced by the wretched Isles of Seto, Crete, and Cyprus, together with the bloody mas: sures committed in the principal cities of the Turkish Empire, fully demonstrate how undiminished is the persecuting spirit 'of Maliornetanism. • The ur s unlike other conquerors, who, amalgamating with the vanqu'ished, impart equal privileges and submit to equal laws, have separated themselves from their Christian, subjects by the most odious demarcation of tyranny and oppres. lion; by which act they have renounced any rights which con quest may be supposed to bestow. ' . If any persons have been hitherto discouraged fronafrording assistance to the Greeks by the degeneracy of thif national character, let us reflect s that howeverdeteriorated that character may have been at the tune of the Turkish conquest, its degene racy. was at least perpetuated by the intolerable state of servi tude to which the nation was reduced. But the increasing spirit of knowledge of patriotism, and all the social virtues, which has been conspicuous for the last half century among the , Greeks, aff'ords, in this instance, the best answer to objectors. - If others have withholden their contributions from an idea that the cause is hopeless, such fears muse now be dispelled by ,the very'cheeringaecounts received from the seat of war, and published by the London Committee. The greatest part 'of Greets Propria is released from the odious presence of its tyrants; and. the standard of the Cross now waves upon every citadel'of Pelorionnesus, except those of Coron, Motion, and' Petra'. Shall we then sufFer this country, so Interesting by its Mane's. tions, to relapse into the bands of ruthless liarbarians, when by our own contributions we may enable its legitimate defenders to enter upon the next campaign with the best prospect of corn *Ling its liberation Fn conclusion,. the Members of the Cambridge Committ ee beg to disclaim in this Address, as well as in all their acts, con. nected with the cause of Greece, the remotest reffeence to politi. 'cal parties and opinions ; whilst they earnestly hope,. or rat h er confidently expect, that in theseseats of Classical and lt s li g i o " Education, they shall not plead in vain for the Greek Against the Barbarian, for Liberty• against oppression, for the Gross against, the Crescent, Cambridge, Nov, 20, 1823. GENERAL MINA. [From the Taunton Courier.l TAUNTON, DEC. 17.—0 n Saturday afternoon this illustrious General poised though .this town, in his way to the seat of T. CLIFTON, Esq., at Hatch-court, about five miles from this town. It having been ascertained that this dis tinguished exile intended to sojourn a few days with his wor thy host, a requisition was signed by a number of the respectable inhabitants of the town, requesting the Bailiffs to convene a Meeting as early as possible, " For the purpose of taking into Consideration the expediency of testifying their respect for the Spanish patriot, General Mina, by inviting him to a public dinner :" a very numerous Meeting was accordingly held at the Guildhall yesterday morning, at 11 o'clock, at which it was resolved that a deputation, consisting of the Bailiffs and Requi tionalista should wait upon the General to assure him o f th e respect of the Meeting for his exalted character, and to invite him to a public dinner. C. POOLE, Esq. (one of the Bailiffs) rose, and having stated the object of the Meeting, said—" Gentlemen, it would not be come me, being your Chairman, to support the expediency for the proposed measure ; nor do I feel so disposed, when I see near me many of my Requisitionists who are able to do it with more effect than I could. But I think I may be permitted to con gratulate my colleague and you on the probability of an unani mous feeling prevailing on this occasion, whatever m a y b e our political feelings ; for those must be pleased to show their re spect to General Mina who approve of the conduct of the Corte*, and of the cause in which he has been engaged ; whilst others, who must deem his politics too popular, and tending to en danger the safety of a mixed government, must be gratified to offer their hospitality to a distinguished officer and stranger, who, by the aid of our brave countrymen, successfully fought against Buonaparte, the disturber of the repose of E ur op e .-.. (applause) ;—and all must admire the courage and fidelity with which he supported the standard he hoisted, whether it led to fortune or exile.—(Applause.) Dr. KINNLAKE then proceeded, in a very eloquent address, to propose a series of Resolutions, the tenour of which was, that the inhabitants of Taunton should testify their high respect for the gallant patriot Mina, by inviting him to a public dtnner'of good old English fare. The resolutions were ably supported by Dr. Blake, Mr. Bunter, Captain Melluish, and other Gentlemen, and carried with perfect unanimity. Soon after the proceedings at the Guildhall had terminated, a deputation of several of the most respectable inhabitants, with white wands, accompanied by a great number of persons who joined them, several of them bearing flags, proceeded out of town to meet the Spanish General, whose visit, it had been intimated, might be expected at noon. About one o'clock, the gallant Mina was drawn into town by a great body of the people, who had loosened the horsei from the landau in which lie was seated, and in which be was accompanied by Mrs. Clifton, Mr. Clifton, and the General'. secretary. The most enthusiastic acclamation resounded in every direction as the carriage passed through the streets. The windows were throng ed with spectators, and ejaculatory benedictions were profusely showered on hie name. A number of largely printed placards appeared with the Spanish complimentary salutation, " Viva mil awn el valvroto Mina !"—" The brave• Mina—may he live a thousand years I" Branches of laurel and handkerchiefs were waved by the fair hands of the ladies from the windows, as the illustrious stranger proceeded. The bells rang merrily, and the liveliest demonstrations of welcome and respect were manifested. On arriving at the Literary Institution, the dis. tinguished visitors alighted, and ascended to the reading-room, where they remained upwards of an hour, in the course of which a number of the inhabitants were introdwed to the Gene ral by Mr. Thos. Woodforde. Among those who had this ho. nour was Miss Waring, daughter of Mr. Waring, the Spanish Consul, whose proficiency in the Spanish language well qua lified her to sustain the interview. After expressing to those about him his sense of the cordiality with which he had been so unexpectedly received, the noble General and his friends left the town, and returned to Hatch Court, where the requisi don to accept a public dinner was delivered to him, to which the following answer, in Spanish, was returned, for the trans lation of which we are indebted to Mr. E. Norris:— " General 3lina has had the honour of receiving a letter from the members of the Municipality of Taunton, inviting him in their own names, and in that of the inhabitants, to a public feast, on Thursday, the lath instant, or any other day he may appoint. " The mental and bodily state of General Mina suit little with arrangements of this nature. The ill state of his health obliges him to observe a very strict diet ; and from the unfor tunate circumstances which have brought him to England, and seeing the present lamentable and degraded state of - his un happy' country—having left his wife, parents, brother, arid friends, still there—being, as he now is, on the soil of consti tutional liberty, and considering how many Spaniards have just lost it—the most appropriate sentiments in which he can indulge are those of grief and mourning. These reasons have decided him to refuse any public demonstrations of kindness of which he scarcely dares to flatter himself worthy. " Thus impressed, General Mina hopes the above gentle men will have the goodness to dispense with his acceptance of their invitation, which he appreciates as though he had been enabled to accept it; and assures them that the honour they ,have done him, the satisfactory expression of their kindness, and the distinction shown him to-day by the inhabitants of Taunton, will always be regarded with gratitude, and live eter nally in his memory. (Signed) " ESPOZ NINA. " Hatch Court, Dec. 10." " Hatch Court, Dec. 16. " Gentlemen,—lt is with the greatest regret I find it will be impossible for my gallant and patriotic friend; General Mina, to have the honour of accepting your most kind and flattering invitation to a public dinner on Thursday next, and I trust you will generously accept those excuses he feels obliged to make to you. " For - myself and those friends with me whom you have in cluded in your invitation, I have to beg you to accept our sin. cerest thanks, and your permission to decline it ; as, so long as General Mina remains my guest, it will be impossible for us to leave home. " I hare the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your most obedient humble servant, " THOMAS CLIFTON. " To the Bailiffs of the Borough otTaunton, and Gentlemen of the Requisition," &c. &c. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE. - A circumstance of a most extraordinary nature has lately occurred at Brighton. In January last a shoemaker residing here died, having a short time previous to his death pointed out' a box in the room ai containing th e property of which he 'was possessed. This box a few hours afterwards was opened by his daughter-in-law and a female servant 'who kept his house, when they found in it a pocket-book containing 14 so. vereigns, and some stamped papers, which they did not examine closely enough to ascertain their nature. Having closed the box, they went out for the purpose of ordering a coffin, and on their re. turn diicovered that the papers had been abstracted from the box, but that the sovereigns were left. The poor man was buried, and nothing further was Beard until about three months after, when certain promissory notes, four in number, and amounting in the whole to•the sum of 904 were presented for payment to a builder of this town by an attorney, also residing in .this Place. These notes, it should be observed, were payable to the deceased, and not ' having been found since his death, it Was inferred that they were the same with the stamped papers • thus strangely missing from his box. Inquiries were of course made of the attorney as to the way in which these notes had come into his hands and he stated that they had been given t o hint by a daughter of the persons (Jews) in whose house the deceased had lodged.' The matter slept until about a week or ten days ago, when application was made to the Magistrates, and the dau . ghter being forthwith apprehended, on a warrant issued by Sir D. Scott, she underwent a private exainination be. fore the Ilan. Baronet, •in the cour se o f w hi c h she prevaricated and contradicted herse l f most grossly an d i n a variety of ways. 'At the termination of the hearing she was remanded, and given in charge to a peace -officer, from whose custody she unfortu nately in the course of the day contrived, with the assistance of ' her father, to escape. Th e l atter person was next t a k en u p, and therebeing no evidence brought forward to implicate him in the transaction of the bills, he was 'detained for aiding the prisoneee escape, and given in charge of the same officer—. from whom, orange to tell, he also succeeded, by means of fiollle dexterous manoeuvres to get a wa y.

STORM ON WEDNESDAY NIG111: [FURTHER PARTICULARS.] In Gower-street (we believe at No. 48) stack of chimnies fell down, and broke through the roof of an adjoining house, when a nurse and child very narrowly escaped destruction. The daraage in the neighbourhood of Pentoseei le wee very great ; a number of walls and palisading were blown down, as were some housalateli erected. In a small house adjoining Westml.' ster-road, the upper part of the house was foieed in upon the inmates, who were in bed, and severely injured by the ruins. Such was the extreme violence of the wind, that many of the stroll poles used in the scaffolding of the new building. now erecting at the British Museum were sitar ped in pieces. An iron cowl placed on the top of a chimney, at Goslings' the bankers, in Fleet' street, was lifted several feet from its position, and fell in the road, but did no damage. A, house at the corner o f George-street, Tower-hili 4 had a stack o f chimnies blown down. On Tower' hill a large tree which stood opposite to the public' house called the Round-about-House, was blown down.
