several times repulsed the ferocious Empecinado, has experienced a great misfortune. The in habitants having learnt that this Chief of the Brigands again designed to take the town, went to meet him ; but they proceeded to too great a distance, of which the Empecinado took the ad vantage, and having entered the town, he caused the houses to be pillaged, and set fire to the Place. The whole of the street of Moros was reduced to cinders, with the convent of St. Francis and a number of other edifices. It is said that 170 persons perished in the flames. The number of killed is more considerable. The Ein pecinudo caused the sick to be murdered in the Hospital. _ [From the Journal lee Dasts.l PAItIB, 0CT.29.—1t is natural that the pub should be anxious to know the results of the great events which are passing in Spain. The facts do not develope themselves but by a successive action. The telegraph could inform us of the zlews of a victory ; but it cannot send us the art;cies of a Treaty. Is it imagined that, a few days after the taking of Cadiz, all the affairs of Spain are arranged ? All that we can affirm is, that the advice of the King, and that of the Prince Generalissimo, has obtaind a happy irlith• euce, and has produced a consoling result. It is that the Decrees of Port St. Mary, Xeres, and Seville,—Decrees imprudently sanctioned, but caused by the provocation of the Revolutionists, have already been modified, in conformity with a policy more calm and more generous. They are now occupied in a Convention, which is to regulate the military relations between France and Spain. This Convention, dictated by a common interest, defines conditions, which, without being burthensome to France, will be advantageous to Spain. We have already said, and we repeat it again, that the example given by our King will not be lost. He wishes Spain to have a solid and tem perate Monarchy, calculuted to maintain the ho nizsur at►d faith of the public, and to effect the "'establishment of order, by which the credit of the State will be regained. Certain persons affirm that England has ac knowledged the independence of the Spanish Colonies, and has notified it to all the European Pore rs The English Ministers, after a long delibe ration, acknowledged the necessity of having agents in the principal ports of Spanish America, to protect the extended commerce of British sub- lects ; but they wish to evade that which could be interpreted as an acknowledgment of the in oetzeondent States de Ado, and therefore state, that the letter s of credentials given to their agents are merely in this form To the per sons having power and authority at Mexico, la Buenos Ayres, 4-ct kc." Now, not only has the alleged notification not been made, but the acknowledgment by Eng land has not taken place ; and how can it be believed that England will agitate all at once a question of that importance, when the formal admission to their independence of five or six tle 'v States, containing 17 millions of inhabitants, Wb ald be' an event which might considerably affe ct th e b a l ance of power between the nations.? "n e Must b e i gnorant of political affairs, and of tbe intimate alliance of all the Cabinets, to be lieve that one State would pronounce alone on a question which interests them all, which will cer !aiillY be the object of a solemn discussion, and 111 %/h id* Spain must be consulted the first. 43 to the email expedition preparing in Eng tt,' it is evid en t t h at i t h as no ot h er o bj ect 'an to carry two or three regiments to the Lt~glish Colonies, particularly to Demerara, Iv . h ere the revolt o f t h e Negroes has not been less ouangerons th an t h at of the Antilles.

One o'Clock.----Yesterday being Settling Day in all Foreign Securities, some failures, as was expected, have taken place, particularly in Co lombian Bonds, owing to the great fluctuation since last Settling Day ; we also understand that an attachment has been laid on the Poyais divi dend by MACGREGOR'S creditors, which has caused no small confusion among the holders of that stock. The following Notice from the Portuguese Consul was this morning posted at Lloyd's : " PORTUGUESE CONSULATE, OCT. 31, 1823, " Sin—l beg to apprize you, for the information of the Mer chants and others interested in the Trade with Portugal, that his Most Faithful Majesty has been pleased to order the fol lowing Duties, and this Decree, to be in force from the 15th October, 1823 :—On Colonial Produce 30 per cent. ad valorem. Rice from the Brazils, and the Portuguese and African Settle ments, 30 per cent., calculated upon a value of 3,600 Rs. the quintal.

Some of the Mail Coaches had not arrived at the General Post Office at a late hour this morn ing, the roads having been rendered impassable by floods. DEATII OF CMARLES GRANT, ESQ.—We have received the melancholy tidings of the death of that highly esteemed East India Director,Cli:luL Es GRANT, Esq. Ile did not retire to rest till about four yesterday morning, and at six he was a corpse. The disorder was spasms in the sto mach. Not one of his family was present to witness the distressing scene, only his medical attendant and butler were in the house, Mrs. Grant and family having for some time resided at Dartford, in kent.—After filling some of the most responsible civil offices ha Bengal at an early part of his life, with great credit to himself and advantage to the East India Company, Mr. Grant was, in 1794, elected a Director of that honourable body, and frequently sustained the weighty and respon sible situation of Deputy Chairman and Chair man of the Court of Directors. His astonishing and persevering industry, aided by a most vigor ous understanding, and an inflexible integrity, ren dered him an invaluable member of the Court of Directors, rho will deplore his loss. Mr. Grant was more than 80 years of age, and so recently as six o'clock on Thursday evening was of ficially engaged at the East India-House. Mr. Grant was a native of the North of Scotland, and possessed considerable estates in the county of Inverness, which he represented for a consi derable period in Parliament. We are desired to contradict, in the most po sitive terms, the paragraph which appeared in the several Morning Papers, and was copied into THE SUN Of Thursday, respecting the Lady 'to whom Captain PARRY is said to be so deeply attached ; whose name has been so improperly brought before the public, and whose conduct, we are assured, ought to have exempted her from such improper intrusions upon domestic tranquillity. There is no foundation for a paragraph which appeared in this and other Papers, a few days ago, stating, that the late Earl of BRIDGEWATER had left Sir CHARLES Lone 24,000/. a year.-- The fact, we understand to be, that he has left to his brother, the present Earl, who has long been resident in France, an annuity of 18,0001. a year, and to his niece, Lady Lorin, 4,0001. a year. On Tuesday Mr. Wynn, the President of the Board of Controul, had the honour of introducing Cunts- TOPMER MILLEK, Esq., to an audience of his MAJESTY, at Windsor Castle, previous to his leaving England, to assume the duties of the Lord Chief Jusuceship at Cal. cutta, in the place of Sir HENRY BLOSSET, deceased. His MAJESTY was graciously pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood upon the Learned Chief Justice. Sir CHRIS TOPUER and Lady PULLER, with their family, will sail from England in one of the Company's ships, in the course of next week. Admiral Sir A. COCHRANE arrived at Liver pool on Wednesday morning, in his Majesty's brig Partridge, and landed under a salute. The Spanish Deputy,ZuLurrA, has arrived hi London. The new POPE, it is said, intends to proceed on a tear through England and Ireland !! ! (Dublin Freeman's Journal.) A Letter, dated St. Petersburg'', 3d October, says, on Tuesday last (30th Sept.) the funeral rites of the late Imperial Comptroller, Baron von K A meeN-HAustm, were performed with great pomp and cermony in this capital. The Baron's death, which took place on the 22d, was occa sioned by the injuries he received on being over turned in his carriage a few days previously. The body having been embalmed, will ultimately be conveyed to the mausoleum in the family do mains in Livonia. The Baron leaves one of the largest private libraries in Europe, which, it is presumed, will become the property of a younger brother in Livonia. The ci-devant Queen FREDEIIIKA, of Sweden, arrived with the Princes and Princesses, her children, at Lausanne, on the 24th ult. FASHIONABLE CHANGES.

Kendall, from South America, are among the late arrivals at the Marine Hotel. RAIIISCIATE, OCT. 29.—This deservedly favourite place was scarcely ever known to be so well filled with fashionables as at present. In truth, our seasons , get later, and instead of their closing as of old time at the end of October, we have every prospect of being full till December, for as soon as the good houses are vacated, they arc immediately re-occupied. Our arrivals are very numerous, and the balls, concerts, and routs, unprecedentedly gay. We are gratified to see our worthy Patron Sir William Curtis, return to his mansion in such improved health, and we shall be still more so, to hail his return to his native land after his intended voyage to Naples, whi ther he goes as soon as his new schooner yacht can be got ready The last Concert at Sackett's Marine Library was attended by most of the fashionable in the place, and the Quadrille which generally follows, was kept up with great spirit until a late hour.

LONDON LYRICS. THE WATERING PLACES. ( From Mt New Monthly Magazine, Nov. 1.) " Awake, arise," bold Neptune cries, " It scandalous and base is To lag behind, when half mankind Frequent my Watering Places."— " "ris passing odd, blue-bearded god, That men should thus turn otters ; With every due respect for you, I never liked your waters. " If 'twere my lot to build a cot, Or dome of Chinese pattern, It should not verge upon thy surge, Joint Devisee of Saturn. The very trees, that own thy breeze, Seem by the favour undone ; With inland bend, like me, they send A longing look tow'rd London. " The man who stops in sea-side shops, like Donaldson's or Lucombe's, In hopes to find food for the mind, Soon fiat's he's not at Ilookham's. The libraries that edge thy seas, Are fit for boys in short hose : Their gewgaw shelves bear tops for twelves, And paper kites for quartos. " Sandgate may do for those who woo The leaden god of slumber. O'er Bognor Rock the sea-gulls flock; I'll not increase their number. Who loves to hide should go to Ryde, Full equi.dismal Cowes is : And poor Eastbourne appears to mourn Her runaway Sea Iluuses.' " To Btoadstairs they may post away, Who think It famous cheer is With gun and shot o'er fields to trot, 14fonopolized by Ceres. Southend's too nigh, and they who hie To Scarborough too far get NVorthing's all tides, and all ChesPvide`i Mud-carted into Margate. " Tow'rd Rottingdean who walks the Steyne, A bold and jutting work sees, Which aims, by spars, and chains, and bars, To fetter thee, like Xerxes. But, Son of Ops, the pile that stops Thy waters in their gushing. May quit its post on Brighton coast, And walk away to Flushing. " See yonder yacht, with paddling trot, And rolling Lichfield Sam's gait, Unload, at eight, its motley freight, To skim thy surf at Ramsgate. I once swam near her Lighthouse Pier, Than moist Leander madder, But, watn'd by Time, no more I climb For Angels Jacob's ladder. " At Hastings, if her frisky cliff' Would be more staid and sober, The gods I'd thank to pass, dea r Frank, With thee a blithe October. But from her brink new rocks may sink, '1 he next time blows the wind bad : And I below her chalky brow Be sepulchred like Sindbati. " Thus, billowy god, my muse has trod Thy forelands, creeks, and mountains, And, could I boot us light a fotit, I'd seek thy briny fountains. But gout requires more inland shires, The limb, that last-night felt numb, instinctive clings to mineral springs__. Adieu, I'm oil for Chelt'nham !"

It is so unpleasant to censure, that we should forbear to say much on the subject, even if we had room at present. As a whole it did not appear to us to be a masterly performance. It Was indeed much applauded. Actors, however, should not take the suffrages of the ignorant for popularity. Mrs. Buss was really highly respectable in Lady Macbeth. The part was throughout well conceived, and supported with dignity and force. Et is gratifying to see an actress, in the very prime of life, with such strong claims to public encourage. cent. Mr. WA ',LACK was so good a Macduff, that we should like to see him is Macbeth. He is among the very few actors who do not imitate the starts, pauses, tappings, hotels, &cc. Sec. which have in a great degret injured the modern stage, and which would have been hooted from it at a wiser period. Pores Banquo was judiciously supported. COVENT GARDEN.—Mr. YouNa, for the first time, ventured last night as Penr u in The Wheel of Forlune. He kept the excellent original in his eye ; but while he followed the correct outline of that regretted original, he obeyed his feelings, and avoided all servile in& .tation in the detail. The rest of the Characters had such adequate support from Messrs. CoOPKR, W. FARREN, AABBOrr, FARLEY, EGERTON', BLANCHARD, Miss FOOTE, and Mrs. FALICIT, as to deserve a larger audience. A recent letter from Frankfort says, the cele brated naturalist, the Prince of N Euwiro, it is understood, shortly undertake another voy• age to the Brazils. Ills object, which is purely philanthropic, is to extend the boundaries of science in those distant territories, a labour in which the zeal and talents of the distinguished tra. yeller have already been crowned with consider. able success. It is further reported that he will be accompanied by Mr. von Buot, another cele brated naturalist, of Berlin. Thu French Papers state, that one Michel, a clopmaker at Dijon, in the Department of the Cote d'Or, who has twice been sentenced to death for murder, had rontrilied to elude the vigilance of the G ens d'Armes, and was at large. The Minister of the hitt!liar has in consequenc e offered a reward of 3,000 francs (1"201. Sterling) for his apprehension.

Mr. Stanton is perfectly recovered. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURTS OF CHANCERY (THIS DAY). This being the first Seal of Michaelmas Term, the Courts resumed their sittings in consequence, The Loan CuANcEr.r.on appeared in excellent health and spirits, and took his seat at half past ten o'clock. A few motions only were disposed of, possessing no public interest ; some cases were also adjourned till the next Seal, by the consent of all parties ; and the Lord Chancellor having intimated that he should be unable to at tend on Monday, rose in half an hour. The VICE-CHANCELLOR also took his seat at half-past ten o'clock, and continued hearing motions throughout the morning. His Honour appeared in excellent health. "COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 31. - THE XING v. CLARK, OTHERWISE JONES. Mr. MARRIOTT opened the case for the prosecution, and stated that this was for a libel of an impious and blasphemous nature against the Holy Bible, to which the defendant had pleaded not guilty. Mr. GURNEY addressed the Jury. He stated that the book in question was published by Carlile, at 55, in Fleet-street, up wards of 2 years ago, but it was not on the part of the prosecu tors a stale prosecution, for it was delayed by the defendant him. self, who for a long time refused to give his name, and rather than do so, lie went to prison for a considerable time. Now the book in question was entitled, " Observalions on Letters to a Friend, on Evidences, Doctrines, and Duties, of the Chris.. than Religion ; by Olinthus Gregory, LL.D. of the Royal 3lilitary Academy, Woolwich. In a letter to the Rev. Wm. Wait, A.B. King's-square ' Bristol. By Richard C ar lil e ."--- The Learned Counsel would riot occupy the Court's time with., either reading the blasphemo•:s paragraphs (which would have to be read by the Officer of the Court), or by any comments upon it., for it would appear to every man, immediately on being heard, to be precisely what was. stated in the declaration, and u n j p o tbri tt is i be , such as the law of the country could not possibly sutler to go i n ci rlon was then called upon, but no answer was made. After the Court had stopped nearly ten minutes, without the witness maki ng his appearan ce , The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE told the Jury, that from what' he had read of this publication he had no doubt of its blasphe mous nature, but of the character of the defendant they could know nothing. • Mr. FRENCH appeared for the defendant, and stated, that he meant to admit the publication, and then to defend the publisher. The Coy RT—Then, Gentlemen of the Jury, you must fad the defendant Not Guilty. The verdict of Not CON was accordingly recorded, and in about two minutes afterwards the witness arrived—but was told he might take a walk home again. MERCANTILE SMITING.

The Second held them to A .smart ehsce of about four miles, and entering the confines of tii4 town for shelter, was evil-taken and kilted ut the back of the Richmond Arms Inn, on the North Level.
