IU LONDON fOURNALS. DAILY • Extracts from the Morning Papers, Des. 23. CMORNINtit CIIRONI cLt.] The Paris Papers of Saturday contain little in telligence of any interest. An extract from the Memorial Bordelats gives a curious picture of the present state of Spain. It is said, in so many words, that the attempts of the Corps Diplo matique to induce Ferdinand to govern Spain upon any thing like rational principles, can only be productive of civil war, and that tranquillity can only be obtained by the entire destruction of the Liberals.—The Constitutionnel, in noticing the presence of Messrs. Baring and Rothschild at Paris, says—" They are in negotiation for the new Loan of Spain, hut it is not believed that the affair is yet concluded. The lenders, it is said, exact for security Ecclesiastical Estates, which.they would administer themselves, under the guarantee of France."—An administration of Ecclesiastical Estates, under a Government re stored by the Church l Diplomacy never had a harder task on its hands, even with the aid of 40,000 French troops. Letters from Greece state that the Greeks have experienced a severe logs, in au attempt on the Turkish fleet. Having succeeded in ap proaching the Turks, near Metelin, they sent two fire-ships egainst them ; but the wind un fortunately changing, these ships were driven hack on themselves, and no fewer than twenty three Greek vessels were destroyed. Had the liind not changed, few of the Turkish vessels ;you'd have escaped.--(ibid.) [vie Times. .1 The subject of chief interest to-day is the Spanish loan—that is, the loan to 1w advanced to Spain by foreign contractors. Our, correspond ence relating to the matter will be found interest. ing. We believe , we may say with certainty, that nothing is yet decided on. The contrac tors are said to require, as a condition, that the independence of the South Americen States be acknowledged : in which case mousy may be adcanced, and the monasteries saved. We should not be dissatisfied with such a political corn pyornise on the first instance,, though we are firmly persuaded that the conventual property must fall at last., God forbid it should be other- 1 rsdse ! Indeed, Spain's resources from the new world being cut off, wo• do not see how she can proceed without some change of property at home. We would wish her to esta blish a respectable parochiable Clergy, well-paid, and capable of instructing the people : and as to monks, friars, and nuns, we would eradicate the race, by gradually appropriating to the exigencies of, the Snits the funds applied to their support. We subjoin the letter of our Correspondent re ceived last night by express:— " Palos, DEC. W.—The, plan to which r al luded on Thursday as being under discussion, for lie vine, at once Spa eish fitthecet, and termincting every hostile projea t South America, Is substantially correct. It Was proposed to the French and Spanish Governments by certeie ban kers, who would be willing, under certain condi tions, and with certain guarantees, to carry it in to execution. The advances which they would snake, if their propositions were accepted, would be sufficient to indemnify France for her exer tions in the pacification of Spain, to pay the sum due by Spain to Great Britain for losses incurred in the West Indies, and to enable his Catholic Majesty to meet his financial difficulties , with out dislodging the Monks, or selling their cmtvents. Their propositions are—that Spain should acknowledge, withoet reserve, the independence of the South American States, and transfer to the new Company all the rights whieh she at present claims. It is well known, for it:sweep, that the Government of the mother country had groat property in machinery, &c., fur working the mines ; that in Mexico and other provinces his Catholic Majesty possessed estates, palaces, and other kinds of Crown pro perty. All those would,be ceded to the company of contractors. To this company likewise would be ceded all the advantages or grants which the dif ferent States would be willing to afford for the general acknowledgment of their independence. There are still Spanish troops, for instance, in Peru ; Mexico is not yet tranquillized ; and none of the provinces enjoy that peaceful security to which they would attain, if they were assured that no hostile attempt would he made upon them from Spain or Europe. In order, therefore, that these troops might be withdrawn, and this se. entity established, all the provinces might be in duced to make . a contribution in money, which would go to indemnify the contractors, The French end Spanish Government have hinted at the possibility of establishing a constitutional go vernment in South America, and placing at the head of the different States Bourbon Princes or Infantas. To this the framers of the plan, or the contractors, object. They refuse to advance them money on any other condition than the absolute independence of the States as they now. exist. Mr. Parish is gone to Vienna, to lay'the propositions of the contractors before Prince Metternich.— The plan will require a long time to he matured.; A congress must finally decide on its adoption. What will England say to this? " December t. 20, 0 p. tn.—Nothing has yet been filthily settled as to the loan to the Spanish Go vernment. An operation of such 'magnitude as the advance of 700,000,000 of reels (or, about 7,000,0001. sterling) to such a Government as that of Spain, is not to ,be concluded in a day. It demands much negociation, and many previous guarantees. It is not, therefore, supposed that any final ArrangPment can be made for some weeks. The convention concluded between theFrenchaud Spanish Governments, for the military occupation of Spain, is on)y in the first instance ford six months. Not that there is the least probability that the military occupation of this miserable and disorganizect,coutatry will cease at the end of that peril, but, it was thought better that the term ihotitil be frequently renewed, rather then at first be' long. The,reasona fur this preference are two- fold. England might have expressed some alarm at a prospective occupation of two or three years, which would have placed the ports of Spain in the hands of the French. Governmenyand made the Peninsula a kind of French colony; and Ferdinand, relying too much on the protection of his allies, might have shown himself less accessible to con siderations of prudence. By the present arrange ment, on'the contrary, the state of Spain, and the expediency of its military occupation, coming under review at short intervals, France places herself under the necessity at each separate re newal of treaty of satisfying her neighbour that a farther interference is necessary, and gains the advantage of being able to threaten Ferdinand with a premature withdrawal of aid, if s by ob stinately persisting in measures of irritation and tyranny, he should render himself unworthy of it. The theory is plausible—let us attend to the practice." LNEw rntEs.l An Express was received yesterday from Paris with, the closing price of the French Funds, 92f. sc. on Satutday. The French Papers are barren of intelligence. The private accounts as sert, that there continues not the slightest pros pect of uny arrangement being concluded with respect to the Spanish Bonds. The prices in consequence were yesterday so low as 29,1, for the Bonds of 1821, and for those of 1824, 181; the former subsequently closed at 26H. We are assured, from very good authority, that there is no foundation for the report of the Austrian Go. vernment being in negociation for another Loan, or to increase the amount of the one just com pleted. [stoexrxo eos.r.] French Papers to the 21st inst. reached us last night by express. They notice the arrival of Messrs. Baring and Rothschild in Paris, and throw some light on the object of their journey and the nature of their proceedings. This ob. ject is said to be the negociation of a new Spnnish Loan, and not, as it had been re ported, the settlement of some differences which had arisen in the late arrangement with Austria. Whether the recognition of the Loans to the Cortes formed one of the conditions of that now proposed (and it ought to be the first) is not mentioned ; but it is stated that the negotia tion was not likely to be brought to a speedy conclusion, as the securities required by Messrs. Baring and Rothschild were ecclesiastical pos• sessions in Spain, to be administered by agentsof their own under the guarantee of France, and Ferdinand neither liked nor dared to touch the property of the Clergy. The. French Government also conceived that it had made sufficient sacrifices for Spain, and felt little disposition to become a party to any arrange ment of which it might have ultimately to bear die %vhole responsibility: Such were the difficulties attending the transaction, and though they may not prove an insurmountable bar to its success, they cannot fail to create considerable delay. There is no doubt that under the pressure of the moment, and in order to be relieved from a state approaching to absolute want, Ferdinand tvoulti agree to recognize the Loans or the Cortes, if he were not deterred by the threats of the Royalists, who declare that i: he " had the misfortune to do so, a new explosion would imme diately take place." The influence of a power, which can no longer be known by the denomina tion of Northern or Eastern, for it extends be. neath three quarters of the Heavens, and is now stretching itself towards the West—the influence of that Power, which has set itself in declared opposition to the advancement of the human mind and the progress of Constitutional freedom, has also been used to overawe the wretched Despot, who, if the Cortes still existed, and he fell into their hands, would immediately pronounce himself liberated from captivity, and would an nul every Decree now issued, as the work of fo reign dictation. No doubts are entertained that Count Pozzo di Norge has postponed his de parture from Aladrid with no other view than that of watching the King whilst the hour of temptation passed by, and preventing him from sanctioning measures which Russia considered likely to encourage future revolutionists. [MORNING lIERALD•j A. letter from Castile states that the Constitu tionalists have been driven, , by the excesses of the Royalists, to an absolute state of despera tion. Guerilla bands are forming in every part of that province, for the purpose of plundering the Royalists, and destroying the Servile priests. Soanet, an officer in the Spanish militia, and a man who has hitherto borne a high character for milness and humanity, being driven, by the per secution of the priests, to take up arms in self defence, has formed a guerilla band in the the neighbourhood of Valladolid, that is making dreadful havoc among the Servilea. —This Rum states, in a letter to a reli t tion in England, that he sees he must finally fall a victim , to the ferocity of the Royalists, but that he is determined not to perish without de stroying as many of his and his country's enemies as may fall in his way. Accordingly, he and his band entered a little town near Rueda, in the beginning of the present month, where they found assembled thirty-four. Priests, whom they put to death, and afterwards withdrew to another village, for the purpose of hunting down more Churchmen. Another letter from Vittoria states, that a Priest in one of the Churches on a festive day, addressed his congregation to the following effect :—that he was surprised that they should have so little steal for the service of God to suffer the revolutionists to walk unmo lested in that sacred place, and insult by their presence the Church of Christ. He called upon [them to avenge the rights of their God and their King; and finally 60 far excited their evil pas. sions as to cause them to go to 4the house of a highly respectable Liberal, whom they stabbed in a thousand places, andlifter dragging him through the public streets literally tore him to pieces.'We are also informed. by a letter from St. Sebastian, that the French and Spanish troops are constantly quarrelling, and that numbers of the French are assassinated almost.every night. in the mean tiro the guerillas, in considerable bands, are threatening the town, while their numbers are daily increasing by deserters from the Royalists of St. Sebastian, who fear the retaliations of the. French. [BRITISH P Est.] The festival in Paris for the degradation of Spain Is still prolonged. New fetes and banquets succeed each other daily. The civic Me bration at the Hotel de Ville was to be suc ceeded by a military banquet, at which Angou leme was to be present, this day, the 23d. Three hundred and sixty covers. were to be spread out, and the Duke's procession from the Tuileries was arranged amidst illuminations and all the glare of a conqueror. The King had granted a pension of a thousand francs to Honein, the father of the young man shot on the first day of these tinsel festivities. The unhappy cixcum stance produced a deep effect in Paris, and there is yet some fear of public indignation even in that capital. Accounts from Madrid to the 11th December state, that Irujo's Ministry was any thing but popular with the Royalist party ; they call the Foreign Minister a Freemason, Ileredia an difrancesado, Salazar a Communero, and Cruz a Postelero. The epithets of these men are of very little value ; but it skews the spirit existing among the ferocious tribe.— Ferdinand appointed this unstable Ministry from compulsion, and was almost instantly so dis 'satisfied with them, that but for the same foreign interference, the tyrant would have dismissed them in 24 hours. The Memorial Bordelais, a furious Ultra Paper, asserts, that the diplomatic corps are deeply mistaken if they hope to form a li beral Ministry in Spain; there is, this paper asserts, no room for them. The two parties, of Royalists and Liberals, are so utterly opposed, that there never can be any amalgamation amongst them. This is a happy and encouraging state of things, promising long happiness and tranquillity toSpain. By forming round the King a liberal Cabinet, he will lose (the Bordeaux'Paper asserts) the sup port of the clergy and the people—that is, of the monks and the rabble. To quiet Spain, the Ultra , Journal prescribes no mode but restoring every thing to the state they were in previous to the revolution. The Brussels Oracle states posi tively that the celebrated Order of the Knights . of Malta is to be re-established, with all its for mer privileges, by general consent of the confe derated Monarchs. INTREPIDITY OF A 80y.—.4 Robber Shot.— On Monday night an attempt was made to break into the dwelling-house of WILLIAM HERRICK, who resides at a lodge near Enderby. It ap. pears, that as the eldest son (a boy about 15) was returning home from the village about eight o'clock in the evening, he observed two men sit ting upon a stile, who inquired of him the way to. King's Stand, saying they understood that Mrs. King,had parted with the servant man, and they were going after the place. When the boy got home he , told his father of the circumstance of his meeting two ill-looking fellows, and as the house had been once attempted before, the boy, without taking any notice, took his gun, which had long been usefully employed in frightening sparro.VS, and got it ready to give any one a warm reception. On going to bed, and looking through his window, to his great surprise he observed the same two men making towards the house . with a hay-fork ; he ran down and alarmed his f►►ther, who slept in a room on the first floor, and instantly returned to his window and shouted to the men, who were at tempting to force open tha door ; one of them (a tall lusty man), on hearing this, presented a pistol, which only flashed in the pan ; the boy, nothing dism►►yed, pushed the muzzle of his gun through a pane, fired, and severely wounded him. A great quantity of blood was discovered in the morning to have been shed on . the road, particu larly near a stile which the marauders passed over. Notwithstanding the indefatigable exer. tions of C. L. Smith, Esq. and the principal in habitants of the village to discover them,, they have not yet been taken. It is a singular cir cut»stance that a large mastiff, which it was sup posed no stranger dare approach, never once barked, but was found tied by a halter to the wagon hovel.—(Leicester Chronicle.) _ SANGUINARY AND FATAL Dure.—The fol lowing is an extract from a letter just received by a respectable Gentleman in Liverpool ; it is dated Charleston, S. C. Nov. 8. After speaking of the rancorous spirit excited by the electtons, the writer proceeds thus :—" Our Newspapers teemed with abuse, and several instances oc. curred of personal collision ; one of these I was in a measure compelled to witness, the most tragical and heart-rending in its result. In consequence of some expressions used by Mr. E. P. S. (a Member of our Bar, and who you recollect married a daughter of ), a challenge passed between him and. Mr. G. C. G. youngest son of General G. A meeting 'took place on the morning of the "fith ultimo. Four shots were exchanged without effect, except the balls passing harmlessly through their clothes.— At the fifth fire, Mr. G., after receiving a wound through both thighs, shot Mr. S. in the abdomen. Thelatter died the next day in the most luirrible agony, and leaving a wife and two or three young children in rather a dependent state; whilst the former is still confined with his wounds, with the probability of being seriously injured for life. I never witnessed a duel before, nor should I have gone to this, had I not been earnestly desired by Mr. M. to accompany him as one of his friends. The scene was awful I —My head absolutely reeled under the sus. pease and anxiety of mind during the interval between the firings; and at the lust dreadful moment, when both lay stretched upon the ground and weltering in their blood, within a few feet of each other, my feelings were unutterable. But a little before th e y w e re laughin g and chat tins; with their companioos on the ground, and summoning all their energies for the deadly com bat. The transition of one moment prostrated them helpless before each other. The sensation produced in the city was prodigious, as the ters on which they w ere b roug ht from P ort John son were carried throu g h th e streets to their re spective residenc es . The crowd almost blocked up the streets."—(Liverpool illercurN) • CLOCKS AND WATCHES. Striking Clocks, or clocks which strike the hour, are first mentioned by Dante, the Italian poet, who died 1321, as then common in Italy.— And about the same time, the famons clock house opposite Westminster Ball was furnished with a clock to be heard by the Courts of Law, out of a fine imposed on the Chief Justice of the King's Bench, in the 16th year of the reign of Edward I. (1288.) A new great clock for Can terbury Cathedral is mentioned to have been put up also in 1299, and to have cost 301. The next mention of horologic!, or clocks, is in Rymer's Ryden!, where there is a protection of Edward 111. (1368) to three Dutchmen, who were orlogiers. That clockrnakers were really wanted at this period, may be inferred from the following lines of Chaucer, when he speaks of a cork's crowing:— " Full sikorer was his crowing in his loge, As is a clock, or an abbey orloge ;" by which our old poet means to say, that the crowing was as certain as a bell or abbey clock. For although we at present ask so often, " What is it o'clock ?" (meaning the time mea surer), yet it seems that in the fourteenth century clock was often applied to a bell, which was rung at certain periods, determined by the hour-glass or sun,dial. Nor ,does there appear any passage which alludes to "a clock by that name, earlier than the 13th of Henry VIII. Lydgafe, there fore, who wrote before thetime of that Monarch, says— Wl' • / will myse e s o ar or °ore To-morrow early.' Prologue to the Storyf of Thebes. And Shakspeare, in • his Othello, has the same term, which proves its me to have been retained as late as the reign of Elizabeth : " He'll watch the horolege a double set If drink rock not his cradle." The faMous astronomical clock made by one of our countrymen (Richard of Wallingford) in the reign of Richard 11. continued to go until the reign of Henry VIII., at which time it is. men tioned in high terms of admiration by Lelanch This celebrated piece of mechanism was called Albion by the inventor. ," WATCHES are not of such ancient invention as clocks, but were made much earlier than has been generally supposed. This fact was proved some years since by a discovery made by some labourers, who, being employed at Bruce Castle, in Fifeshire, found there a watch, together with some coin ; ,both of which they disposed of to a shop-keeper of St. Andrew's, who sent the watch to his brother in London, considering it as a curious piece of antiquity, and from whom it came into the possession of his late Majesty. The outer case of this very curious relic was of silver, raised, in rather a handsome pattern, over a ground of blue enamel ; with the cypher, very indistinct, of it. B. at each corner of the en chased work. On the dial place was written Robertus B. Rex Seottorum, and over it was a thin, convex, transparent horn, instead of the glasses which we use at present. Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, to whom this watch evidently belonged, died in 1318, a date far beyond that generally assigned to this species of invention. What is singular, this watch is not much larger than those now in common use. In the 16th century they were made much smaller. Derham (in his Artfficial Clock Maker, pub lished 1714) mentions a watch of Henry VIII, which was still in order; and Dr. Demainbray affirmed that he had heard both Sir Isaac• Ne wton and Demoivre speak of this watch. The Emperor Charles V. (Henry's contem porary) was so much pleased with these time measurers, that he used to sit after his dinner with severalof them on the table, his bottle be fore him in the centre, and when he retired to the monastery of St. Just, he continued still to amuse himself by keeping them in order, which is said to have produced a reflection from him on the absurdity acids attempt to regulate the mo tions of the different powers of Europe. Some of the watches used at this time seen) to have been strikers ; at least we find in the Me moirs of Literature, that such watches having been stolen, both from Charles V. and Lewis the Xlth of France, whilst they were in a crowd,the thief was detected by their striking the hour. In most of the more ancient watches, particu larly those in the late Leverian Collection, and that of Mr. Ingrom Foster, catgut supplied the place of a chain, whilst they were commonly of a smaller size than we use at present, and often of an oval form. And Pancirollus informs us, that about the end of the loth century, watchek were made no larger than an almond, by a man vrhose name was Mermecide. From these, and many other imperfections, they were not in any degree of general request till the latter end of Queen Elizabeth's reign ; accordingly, in Shakepeare's Twelfth Night,Mal volio says,— I frown the while, and perchance wind up my watch,• or play with some rich jewel." In the 3d of James I. a watch,wes found upon Guy Fawkes, which ho and Percy had bought the day before, " to try conclusions for the long and short burning of the touch wood, with which they had prepared to give fire to the train of powder." In 1631, Charles the First incorporated the Clockmakers ; and the charter prohibits clocks, watches, and alarms, from being exported, which sufficiently proves that they were now more com monly used, as well as that we had artists of our own, who were expert in this branch of the business. About the middle of the 17th century, Huy gens made his great improvement in clock-work, which produced many others from our own coun trymen ; the latest of which was the introduction of repeating watches in the time of Charles the Second, who is said to have sent one of the first of these new inventions as a present to Louis XI V. The former of these Kings was very curious with regard to these watches; and an old person of the trade, many years since, was heard to say he remembered that the watch-makers (particu larly East), used to attend whilst he was playing at the mall, a. watch being often the stake. And a more curious anecdote still, of royal attention to watches, is told in Dr. Derham's Clock Maker :—One Barlow had procured a 1 3 ' tent, in concert with th e L or d Chief Justice Al lebone, for repeaters; but Quare (anothernlake r) making one at the same time, upon ideavhe haJ entertained before the patent --was - graat' d James the Second tried both, and giving the pre ference to Quare'j and it was notified in Eh' Gazette. In the succeeding reign the reputation of ti English work in this branch was such, that in lb' year 1698, an Act passed, obliging the quik'T 'to put their names on watches, lest discreditabß ones might be sold abroad for English. " The oldest clock we now have in England, that isOP . : posed to go tolerably, i s of th e y ear 1540, t h e initial lettetio the makers name b ei n g N. O. It is in the Palace of Hal° Court."—(Derham's Artificial Clock maker.) The late Lord Orford had a clock in his p os ' session, ,at Strawberry Hill, which appears by the inscription to have been a present from Henry the Eighth to Anne Boleyn. Payne' , Bishop of- Winchester, likewise gave an astrono• mica! clock to the same King. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE or BREAD. H_nricte ' The pi ice of ti n 41b.
