THE LONDON JOURNALS. DMIX xtracts from the Morning Papers, November 26. [Tut Tisits.l Since the execution of Riego, and the entrance of the King into Madrid, there is a suspension of eeivs from Spain. We have but little doubt, however, that Crop of folly, and perhaps of cruelty, is ripening during The interval. His Majesty is said, in the letter which we subjoin, to have determined upon disbanding the Royalist as nwe us the Constitntional Army. If the French were fernoved, we should wish for nothing better. Let him trust himself to his faithful and loviug 'Objects. But it was the disbanding of an army in the confidence of good intentions that first roved injurious to the Cartes :- 44 Pants, Nov. 9.4.--The Government courier from Mildrid has to-day brought intelligence him that capital to the 17th inst. Three days had thus elapsed sirlfe the solemn entrance of the King, and nothing was known of these important decrees by which his return was to be signalized. It is even said that his Majesty oh4tinately resists all proposals to bind himself to forgiveness; by the puialicntion of an amnesty, anti is determined to retain the privilege of executing ns many of his subjects as he pleases. limning the latter part of his journey, and since his arrival in the ca pital, he has been hardly plied by some of the at ents of France, and even of the Holy Alliance, ,dismiss his Minister Confessor, but Ott this point, likewise, he has hitherto been inflexible. His conscience, which is in the keeping of the Confessor, will not permit him to part with the Minister. The less fanatic Royalists and the Foreign Ministers have not, however, as yet given up all hope of being able to effect a change in the Spanish Cabinet, by ; firm, or perhaps me nacing, represeutations. Ilion!) his Majesty has neither published an amnesty, nor announced his intention of giving any form of constitutional freedom, he has decided on other measures of great importance. He has determined, for in stance, to disband both the Royalist and Con stitutional troops, and to create an entirely new army, as he has found the doubtful allegiance of the' latter not more formidable to the continu ance of his power than the disorders, oppression, and pillage of the former. This measure, it is expected, will excite great discontent among the 'rasgamuffins of the Faith, and lead to demands and remonstrances on the part of the fanatics of all classes. I'm order to avoid the necessity of bearing complaints which he cannot redress, or solicitations with which he cannot comply, his Majesty has been recommended to retire to the 1 7 ,,eurlal darting the e x e cution of this measure.— In the interval r between time dissolution of the existing army, and the creation of anew one, the French troops are to maintain order in the Pe uinsula. Tins reports, therefore, of their coming home itt any considerable OUMbers are entirely destitute of foundation. General Bourmont, who commanded at Cadiz after its surrender, has arrived at Madrid, and taken the corns mend of that garrison on the 15th instant. —The French Army of Occupation will be generally intrusted to Generals of Ultra 'prin isiples. Gen. Gailleminot, who has been regarded as the Mentorof his Royal Highness the Duke of Angouleme during the campaign, and'who had a right to expect a high appointment from the friendship and popularity of his patron, is neither to remaiu in Spain nor , France. Ile is to be no minated Ambassador to Constantinople, and will thus he removed from any chance of profiting by the successes which are supposed to be partly owing to his services and counsels. The Ultras were afraid that it might be found necessary to create birri , Ministe.r of War bad he returned to reiride in Paris. l'ozzo di Borg°, the Russian Minister, is soOn expected from Madrid. Ile is afraid to make it known that he can be spared from Paris. The knowledge of this secret may be dangerous to his permanence in the French Mission." [MORNINO. POST.] We received last night, by e4press, French Papers to the telth inst. Their contents are go nerally insignificant.• Viscount Chateauhriand having published a small pamphlet, in which he eloquently defends the proposed dissolution of the, Chamber and the establishment of sep tennial Parliaments, all the Ultra Royalist Jou rnals have fallen foul of their late idol, and en deavour to overturn 'his arguments, which they represent as neither wise nor jest, hut which they cannot easily controvert. The Quolidienne is suddenly grown an alarmist, ,and pretends that a measure which it recommended a few weeks since (when it thought that its own friends would either compose or command the Ministry), must now be attended with great in conveulenee, if not danger to the peace and well being of the community and the throne. " There was in society," says that Paper, 44 none of those anxieties which require to be soothed and set at rest, and the announcement of a measure, the ob ject of which was to cause inquietude® to cease, hes on the:; contrary created thew. Public opinion has necome alarmed at not being per mitted to remain tranquil, and at being treated as if it were not so." I t is remarkable " that the strongest argument used by the Ultras to dissuade the Ministers from their intenthm, the complete subserviency of a Chamber renewed by annual fifths, and the moral certainty that ono elected for seven years will he far mere independent. The letter, indeed, is represented as alinost inconsistent with the ino principles, and the act of rendering it self Septennial, as an act of "Sovereig,rity, if not of esurpation.'"fhese Papers announce officially that the island of 'Majorca had received the new Governor brought by the French, but appointed by Ferdintadel. They also contain a pretended ankle from Gibraltar, abinniling' with the grossemt,fabelemis, respecting the conduct said to have. been adopted by the British Governor towtirtls the Spenliti Refug-ees. It is not teue that tiny lind received orders to leave the gerri- Sint hours. They have met with thee, re eeption doe to misfortuee, and will continue 'to receive ample proof that Britain exercises hospi tality not only on her own shores, but wherever her standard is planted. [rim TIMES.] Consols' varied yesterday but in a trifling de gree. They opened at the high quotation of 841 for the Account,. were at different periods ofAhe day 841 and 84 ; 1, , but closed as they opened, S 4. Much business was done in the English, bUt:little in,the Foreign . Funds. There is a general opinion that the former will continue .to improve ;- especially as so many of the Foreign :speculations, which promised vast profits, have turned out to be ruinous. The great source of confidence on the part of those who anticipate a further advance in the English funds, is the persuasion that the peace of Europe rests on a secure foundation. South America has ceased to be a bugbear ; and the assurances given to the Shipowners by Mr. Catmint? and Mr. Huskisson, that the maritime' preparations of France had been greatly exaggerated, appear to have removed every graund of alarm. French Rentes were yesterday bought in our Market at 90, and the Scrip has advanced to I : }' premium. The Colombian. Bonds advanced.l per cent., and the other foreign securities generally (except the Spanish) appear to be rising In price. In the present state of things, however, the speculators scarcely find it worth their. while to go to the ex pence of Expresies, and it was understoOd that none arrived in the course of yesterday from Paris. NottNitio cuttoNtct.E.l Our readers will find in another, column some authentic information respecting the affairs of Greece—(see another port of TILE Su tO. It will be seen from a letter addressed by the Captain of a French frigate to ,a Greek Authority of one of the Islands, that the French do not limit their right of, interfering with foreign nations to cases in which free Constitutions have been establisheth M. Orandpre maintains that all who profess the Catholic religion are under the protection of his Sovereign, and' he boldly intimates that if any taxes or duties are exacted from them, he will have recourse to' force. lie peremptorily orders the sequestration on the property of the Catholic Greeks to be removed, and this too in language of the most insolent description. It would ap: pear from the letter, that in the Case of one of 'the islands, the French had actually had recourse to force in support of their pretensions. Our Catholic brethren in-ireland,„who dislike paying Tithes or Taxes, now know to whom they can apply. if the French have a right to protect the Catholics in Greece, they must have a right 'to protect them also in Ireland.—Nothing can be more infamous than this attempt of the French to paralyze the Greeks, by encouraging part of them to remain neuter, and thus exciting divisions among theme: It would be more manly at once to take the part of the Turks. The time was when such conduct as the above would have been noticed by our Government. 0111.111 Sn pttEs.:l The ilionlicor of Sunday contains an accoun of the submission of Majorca, and, we suppose, of all the Balearic Isles, to the absolute Govern ment of Ferdinand, through the intervention of a French squadron. Pozzo di 13orgo has come, it is said, to :Madrid, to treat for the cession of these islands, or the most extensive of them, to Russia, that 'ambitious Power wishing to obtain a permanent :footing irt. Middle Europe, and a port in the Mediterraneaa. What does Alex ander offer in return for the grant ? His armed . hordes, probably, to coerce, if necessary, the tyrant's discontented subjects. Money, which Ferdinand now wants, he has none ; the Auto crat was obliged to supply his own neCessitiesvy a lean in this country. The systs,m of terror is in appalling operation in Spain. Moro than 20 persons, Members of the Contitutional Munici pality, have been placed under surveillance. The list commences with the name of the Marquis of Santa Cruz, and includes the Count de No blessas and many other distinguished indivi duals. Thi, is only, we suppose, the first step agoinst the proscribed; other measures are to follow. The AlOniteur has accounts from Gib raltar to tho 6th, which are to be received with caution ; and as a proof of the feelings of the Go vernment of this country towards the unfortunate exiles, we should .be sorry to think true, they state that the Spanish emigrants had all, withth. 'exception of General Alava, received orders to leave the place in 24 hours, and that the new Consul . appointed by the absolute .Government had arrived, and entered on his office, while the agentunder the Constitutional system had quitted, with all his family. Gibraltar may be crowded, end not be able to afford a permanent refuge to so many unhappy exiles as have fled from Fer dinand's tyranny ; but surely some respect ought to be had for their situation, and they should not be driven away destitute sink : hopeless at a few . hours' notice. Angouleme's head-quarters were, on the 18th, at Vittoria. His view of Spain, H as he now !mimes through it, and , beholds the tyranny that every where shrouds it, Must be most flattering 'to his feelings -- The 'French troops, their business being com plete, were returning to France ; the 4th corps . was on its march -on the 13th. Lauristort was at Perpignan on` the 14t1 . 1 ; and after having had an interview with' he Prefect, departed immediately, !Miens, the celebrated Constitutional'. General, hart gone to Fiance to reside with his family. We are happy to know- that Mina, Rotten, and Mans, artheyond the'tyrartt's power. The de tails given by eyes-witnesses of the horrid murder of Itiego Made the blood run cold. The san guinary tyrant, the cause of these atrocities, was, it appears, about to leave Ma d rid for.the Even - lie does not find himself comfortable in the capital. • CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. --There is 110 W in a garden ;It Merthyr a jargonelle pear.tree, that is in blossom for the third time this year. Prom the first blossom it bore a fine crop of fruit ; tho secouti blossmn came on before the first crop of fruit was gathered ; and thew is now on the tree, a second crop' of fruit and a third crop of fine blossom.— (Cambrian.) FOR THE SUN. SPANISH COLONIES. Ma. EDITOR—CouId we suppose for a moment hat the French Ministerial Journals speak the real sentiments of the Cabinet of the Tuileries, then should we deprecate the tone which they assume, as better calculated to disturb, than to consolidate, the peace of Europe. At first, inuen does were all they ventured upon ; but em boldened, probably by their success in Spain, and mistaking the neutrality of Great Britain, for an avowal of weakness, they have at length proceeded to a more open mode of warfare. The simple fact appears to be this,, independent of other causes of dislike, that the Holy Allies view with particular jealousy a country, enjoying a free constitution, and, whose enlightened population openly reprobate the very basis of their alliance. The liberal sentiments of our Ministers have been too openly avowed to be misunderstood ; and those sentiments, the only ones a British Ministry " can entertain, naturally awaken a spirit of en mity in the minds of the partizans of political bondage, or of absolute authority. But to what will this enmity tend ? What is the ultimate ob ject of the implied rumour of the French Journals.? To deter Ministers from acknowledging the hide ' pendence of the Spanish Colonies, and securing the immense commercial advantages, which a friendly intercourse with those countries must procure ? That such is their real motive; seems highly pro liable ; but that such a line of policy on the part of our Cabinet is highly justifiable, is much more certain. The paramount duty of a Ministry is to neglect no fair and honourable means of ad vancing the interests of the country ; and now, when the inclination of the continental powers, to throw any possible impediment in the way of British commerce is evident, it is incumbent upon the British Government to divert this great source of our national prosperity into another channel. But, say the French Journalists, by recogeiz ing new states without the concurrence of the mother country, and without the assent of neigh bouring powers, you act in opposition to equity, and even to policy. This is surely strange doc trine ; and comes with a very ill grace from a French Journalist. Was it, we may ask, with the concurrence of Great Britain, that France, that Spain, that Holland, embraced the cause of the Americans, when acting in open . rebellion against their mother country ? Before these con scientious and prudent politicians condemn the conduct of any Cabinet, let them reflect, upon the line of policy pursued by their own Cabinets, under circumstances precisely similar, end let them cease to uphold a doctrine with which their own political conduct has never accorded. We will readily concede to. the French jonr. nalist that the Holy' Mlles nreconsistent in their views, and in their plans of keeping down the spirit of independence by force of arms. It is not their inclination, but their ability that we doubt, in the present instance. It is much easier for them to carry their armies from one end of the Continent to the other than to transport them across the Atlantic. Moref especially, if they have to contend against the naval power of Great Britain. The task of subduing distant colonies is one of difficult execution. If England could not reduce the Americans—nor Buonaparte, in the plenitude of ,his power, subdue the negroes of St. Domingo,. we are justified in considering any similar attempt as equally uncertain of success.— The Holy Allies may, it is true, bend their aid to the mother country, but whether this aid will prove as efficacious us the Etoile seems to imagine, may be very reasonably doubled. They would find many difficulties in their way. We ima gine that the heats of a tropical climate, might prove no less fatal to the troops of some of the Holy Allies, than did the frosts of Russia to the forces of Buonaparte. We are next recommended not to be hastily deceived by the hope of commercial advantages, and seriously asked if there are not in the great States of the old world, minds more cool, that reflect on objects of such general interest. The success that has hitherto attended the commer cial speculations of British merchants, proved by the importance which this commerce has, obtained, will, we trust, suffice to quiet the well meant ap.. prehensions of the Dade - upon this matter : and we thank it for, the kind interest it seems to take in the welfare of our. Merchants. As to the question that is put to us, we can answer it with out the least hesitation. We are well aware that there are, indeed, wise heads enough among our friendly neighbours, who reflect upon this import ant. subject, and it is because we do believe that they are, not blind to the importance of the matter, that we rejoice at the clearsightedness of our Ministers. A. P. FRENCH SLANG.—It will be remembered that when M. MANUEL refused to leave the Chamber, except by force, a nobleman who commanded the detachment of the national guard employed in the service, called out to one of the men Empoig. nex le, (literally, lay your fists upou him.)--The word, which, though uttered by noble lips, is a vulgar one, was not soon forgotten. In•altnost all companies, and in all circumstances, occasion was found, for more than six months, to introduce the favourite exp re ssion. Since the trial of Cas ming, and the discusions about: the poison of acetute of ma; phine, another expression has been , a.dded to this temporary dictionary of slang.— When a dull play or a bad actor fa:igues the au dience at a theatre, you immediately hear on non morphine; when a dandy tries to entertain an im patient fair with his silly compliments or untnean inoi g r p ih r i a n t e tsle;when a stops him 7)(4lexclaimingitake s p u on e m an Ultra journal, and, i n stead of Hews, finds a long rhapsody about 44 IVgitilnfiey" or• the Inquisition, be yawns, and ends the process by declaring that he is morphi THE REV. C. C. COLTON. [The following statement has been communi cated to us from a quarter upon which we can rely. There certainly does appear to be some mystery in the disappearance of Mr. Colton.] The Gazette of the beginning of this month, announced amongst the Bankrupts, " the Rev. Charles Caleb Colton, late of Princess-street, Soho, wine-merchant ;" and the second meeting of his creditors has taken place without the Bankrupt appearing, or any information respecting him being fortvarded . to the Commissioners. Previously to thp declaration of such Bankruptcy, Mr. Colton had been entirely lost sight of by his friends in town; - since May 29. He was neither to be found at his residence; for to be seen at a tavern near St. Martin's-lane, where he was accustomed to meet some select friends, nor even to be heard of any where arming his acquaintance. Though this occasioned some surprise and inquiry, it did not excite alarm, on account of Mr. C.'s ec centric habits, and as he had been frequently known to leave London for a short. period, without any particular prepara tions for his journeys. Nor did his absence produce any particular notice till the Bankruptcy to the surprise of all who had any knowledge of Mr. Colton, appeared in the Ga zette. Though Mr. C. had speculated and largely too, at times, in the Funds, in purchasing wines, bullion, paintings, am; he was never viewed as other than a man of ample means. lie was, what may be termed an ostentatious man, for he fre quently displayed on his fingers diamond rings worth two or 3001., or more each ; a thick and long gold chain from his waistcoat pocket, passing ever a portion of the coat to his watch;, and if he wanted a note, he would select it from a bun dle, or a sovereign he would draw a handful out of his pocket. These peculiarities he.would observe frequently in the course of one evening. He was an ostentatious man, entering com pany for the sake of conversation; but he had always much money about him (and in this peculiarity he was like the late Mr. Wreare, with whom Mr. Colton was acquainted.) t :For some time it was supposed, and given out, that Mr. Colton had gone to Calais ; but what :was the authority or motive for such statement cannot now be ascertained; but it answered its object, if it restate() from design, as it put an end to the inquiries of his friends about him. Time continu ing twelapse ' and then the bankruptcy being proclaimed; but still without bringing tidings of Mr. Colton, some anxiety was felt b) his more intimate friends ; and this anxiety be came the stronger after the murder of Mr. Weare. The last time Mr. Colton was seen, lie was at Epsom Races in corn, pony with Mr. Weare ; inquiries lead to the belief that Mr. Colton had been to the gambling-room in which Wean was interested, and which was frequented by the Thurtell party. It is known ho had been in such company. Besides Mr. Colton's knowledge of many of the gamblers' doings, his constant prac tice of having much money and property about his person, ren dered him an object on whom such men as those who con spired to murder Mr.NVeare might have had and executed dreadful designs. On Saturday last, the second meeting of the creditors of Mr. Cohort took place before the Commis sioners of Bankrupts, at Guildhall. Assignees were to have been chosen, arid Mr. Colton was to have surrendered himself; hitt neither proceeding took place. Many interesting circum stances were related in the course of the examinations ; but, as far as they support particulars above stated, especially regard ing Mr. C's habits of generally appearing' with much property and money about him, they need net be repeated. There were also sonic curious statements its to the manner in which Mr. C. had engaged in various concern: ; such as to his being an ex tensive wine ,dealer, the proprietor of. a celebrated " wine mart," the proprietor or part proprietor of several coffee-houses, especially of one in Cornhill ; the real owner of an extensive shoe mart at the west end of the town; &c: &C. The docket for the Commission of Bankruptcy was struck on the application of Mr. Pratt, a paper dealer, who of comae is the petitioning creditor. The . debt, which is considerable, was for paper supplied for " Loran." The act of Baoltruptcy is, in disappearing from his lodgings in Princes-street, on and af ter the 29th May tart. He , left borne that day to go to Epsom Races,. he was seen at those, races aeon-in-arm with Weare, the Thurtells (according . to the statement of another per son) being also of' the party ; but though his trunita, pro perty, &c. were left at his lodgings since that period, the landlady, down to the present hour, declares that all in guiries to learn any thing about Mr. Colton have been vain.— The same was stated to be the east, with his mother, sister, &c. ; and in the course of the day .a Mr. Wrightson was mentioned as having seen Mr. Colton in . October last; but Mr. W. did not appear before the Commissioners. According to the statement related from Mr. W., Mr. Colton. was then on his way to Paris via Calais; but had this been the ease, as a Gen tleman who knew Mr. C. observed, would the inquiries of his relations aud.friends have been altogether vain, as Mr. Colton's brother-in-law, a Clergyman, is now resident in Paris, having lived there and at Versailles for a long time past ? No rela tion, no friend (it was stated before the Commissioners) could give any account of Mr. Colton after his appearance with Mr. Weare on the Epsom race-course, on the 29th May last; and ,; yet , inquiries had been . instituted' in every direction ; but as Wrightson had been mentioned, the Hon. Mr. Law (one ,of the Commissioners) suggested the propriety the Solicitor to the Commission calling on that individual, to ascertain what he knew about Mr. Colton. Among the creditors were a wine merchant, whose demand wad forupwards of four thousand pounds; butt, as be said, that he considered Mr. Colton to have bought the wine,to *ell again (which a Clergyman could not do), be was not then allowed to prove. Mr. Delafons was admitted to prove for 3241. for dia monds alone, which Mr. D. considered, calculating _from the prices charged, pot to have been bought for sale, but for use or presents. Mr. llawley proved to the, WIWI/lit of upwards of 8001. for jewellery, snuff-boxes,Srinkets, &c. Mr. Valpy proved for 18/..for the printing of a Poem entitled Napoleon." Se veral other debts, &c. wereproved, some of them on Bills of Exchange, that became due in June last ; but neither Solicitors nor Notaries could, in endeavouring to get them paid, ascertain any tidings of Mr. Colton. It was stated, soon After Xay, that Mr. Colton had taken lodgings in the Edgeware..road ; but what lodgings they were, never could be ascertained, or whether he took any such lodging.

FRUIT TREEL—The growth of weeds round fruit trees recently transplanted, does them great injury, and diminishes their fruit in size and quality. SONhINI, in his Bibliotheque Physic°. Economique states, that to prevent this, the Ger mans spread on the ground, round the fresh trans: planted trees, as far as their roots extend, the refuse stalks of flax, after the fibrous part has been separated. This gives them surprizing vigour. No weeds will grow under flax refuse, and the earth remains fresh and loose. Old trees, treated in the same manner, when languishing in an orchard, will recover and push out vigorou? shoots. In place of the flax stalks, the leaves which fall from trees in autumn may be substi tuted, but they must be covered with waste twigs, or any thing else that will prevent the wind from blowing them away.

V MELANCHOLY SUICIDE. Yesterday a Coroners' Inquest was held be fore CHARLES JEMMET, Esq., at the Bear and Ragged Staff, Upper Ground-street, Blackfriars, on the body of Tho mas Wadi, Esq., aged 20 years, who shot himself at his lodge ings, in Hatfield street Stamford-street, on Saturday,rnerning last: The deceased was a native of Ireland, and had been educated at Trinity College, Dublin. Having served his terms at King's Inns, in Dublin, he came to London about a morth ago, and entered as a law student in the Middle Temple. 1 1 ; was a person of most amiable disposition, and an accoraPll4" scholar. Mrs. Caroline Linstead, wife of Mr. Linstead, of N o. 66, Hatfield - street, deposed, that the deceased had lodged in her house; that on Saturday last, at about 12 o'clock, as she " 1614 3 in the front kitchen immediately underneath the parlour w hi the deceased occupied, she heard the report of a pistol, which was followed by the noise of something heavy falling 0! the floor; that she instantly ran up stairs to the parlour, an d Saw the deceased lying on e floor apparently dead, and that then; was a great quantity of blood in the room that she went up to the deceased. and lifted up his arm, which dropped lifeless; that she then sent for a surgeon, who his arrival said the deceased was dead. She added, that p istolp lay on , the cariet near the deceased ; that the blood flowed copiously from nig mouth, and - that she believed he had fired the pistol into hit mouth. The Coroner asked whether the witness bad seen any thing in the conduct of the deceased previously, which led her to sup pose that he was insane? The witness said hehad appeared very low spirited, but Ttt . ticularly on Friday last, after she had given him some letters, great agitation. He sat up which came by the post from Ireland. - Upon that evening, on going into his room, she saw him crying, and apparent i ll not go to bed until 2 otclock in rise morning. The letters had been given to his friend, also a student in the Temple writing letters, and she believed at Mr. Joseph Lowdell, a surgeon, deposed that he examilu" the body of the deceased, and found that a bullet bad entered the bark part of the palate, and, he believed, reached the brain' The left eye was bloodshot, and the figures were distigureil.--' The bullet had not One through the head, but there wa s little doubt it hadcaused the_ deceased's death.
