THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Eltraets from the Morning Papers, Dee, 17. [THE TIMES.] The Paris Papers of Sunday lait contain no political intelligence of importance. The trial of the widow Loamle and her son, for the mur der. of ,Illadame Jerome, terminated on Saturday night. Lecoup, the son, was declared guilty on all the,questions submitted to the Court the mother was acquitted on the question of implicit, tion in the assabsiation, but convicted of having concealed the articles stolen, with knowledge of the holnecide being wilful. Both the prisoner:, were condemned to suffer death. A long ordi tiaiee for regulating the fetes and rejoicings which were to take place on Monday last, in ce tebration of the return of the Duke of Angou leme, is given in the Journal des DOW:. The Spaniards are still harping upon their pos sessions in the " trans-Atlantic Continent. In an article in the Madrid Gazette of a late date, they assert, what we should not have expecte d, the sovereignty de facto of the ancient possessions. One of their arguments is of a singular kind : it says, that the money with which the merchants of Upper Peru pay for the cloths of Britain is ornamented with the effigy of Ferdinand VII. If the writer had ever been in France, he might by a similar argument have proved that country to be still in the possession of Buonaparte ; as, not only is the chief coin ornamented with his effigy, but it is even called by his name, Napo leon. A. variety of little districts, with pompous titles, are summed up as still appertaining to the mother country. This is like augmenting the honours of the King of England, by styling him Prince of Petty France, and Autocrat of Ped ler's Acre.—(ibid.) [I4OItNINti cuttorticti.] No adVices had been received during yester day, by private express, from Paris, but as the date would haVe been on Sunday, no disappoint 'meat bad been experienced on the Stock Ex change,. amongst the speculators. The Post 'Office Mail, however, arrived from France, in due course, by which letters have been received from Constantinople to the 11th ult. At that period the capital of the Ottomans enjoyed tran quillity, and it was generally supposed that amicable relations had, ut length, been re. ;wed betwixt :the two Legitimate Rulers of the Russian and Turkish Empires. It was also rumoured that the Captain Paella's fleet had been attacked in the neigh boerhood of Salonichi by a detachment of the Grecian fleet, which attack had not only been repulsed, but, it was also added that twenty-eight of the Chris tian ships had fallen into the hands of the Barba rians,-though not until the crews had escaped in their boats. Letters, however, from Constanti nople, of the nth Nov. make no mention of this reverse, but on the contrary state, that the Turlthit fleet was in a Wiest,deplorabla coadition, havhig severely buffered by famine, and all the consequences which naturally result from habitual filth and irregularity. The independence of Greece is hourly gaining strength, and the interference alone of Russia can prevent its final triumph. [BRITISH' PRESS.] Sunday's French Papers and Ike Mode of Monday reached our office yesterday. They contain almost nothing of any public interest. It Is stated, under the head of Constantinople, November the Pith, that all the differences be tween the Ottoman Porte and the Christian Powers were finally adjusted, and that the Sul ten, by a firman dated ILI. 3d, ; had ordained the re-establishment of all the relations with Russia on their ancient footing. The latter Power has de ferred it.r designs on the Turkish empire only,for a while; its eye will still rest, without sleeping, on them,and its hordes yet rush upon these provinces, like famished wolves ravenous for spoil. The medi tated plan was probably concerted with Alexander at Czernowitz, but dissembled until the lit day for execution arrives. In the interval, the de spats have been extending their impotentmenaces to the Brazils ; and the Eioile of Saturday says, that the Austrian and Russian Ambassadors had received instructions from their respective Go. vernmeuts relative to despatches from Lisbon, transmitted by Baron Binder, the Austrian Mi nister, to the Court of Portugal. These relate, of course, to the fruitless mission of the Portuguese Conenissioners. Those instructions, the Etoile adds, are said to have been communicated to our Cabinet, to ascertain its views, if the pre sent En,peror of the Brazils stiould persist in retaining his title, which would force the Great Powers to adopt measures for reducing it under the dominion of Portugal, in conformity to a re solution ; which is said to have been taken at Czernowitz, by the Emperors of Austria and Russia, eot to recognize the independence of the Brazilit‘tis. What measures can these Powers adopt againtit the distant Empire of Brazil ?—, Where theit navy—where their resources for such an eqeditiun ? if this country disapprove the crusade, and menace opposition, dare they stir a * single step, or send a French or a Russian ship o 4PA. ? It is fortunate for the liberty of the civilited world that the resources of the con federated Despots are so unequal to their vieus. Were it otherwise, they would endea. tour to ,hold universal man in chains, and tread out the last spark of liberty throughout the world, LMORNINt, HERALD.] I arrivals in the course of yesterday from P4rit, and Madrid throw no decisive light on the policy or projects of the new Spanish Ministry, at least as to their plans of domestic administra tion. Their foreign policy seems to be some what more visibly formed, Many circumstances tend to induce a belief that, they are fully re solved to attempt the subjugation of. South Ame rica. Thu Male quotes from the official journal of Madrid an article which treats very superci- Howdy the lucubrations of some of our London oontemporaties on the subject ; and then goes on to assert, that the mother country has still a strong hold, not only in the affections of the people, but in the very territory of South America,. especially in Peru. We incline to doubt the fact, as most persons we think, would, after looking over the map of that vast section of the globe, and comparing the somewhat obscure and inconsiderable places still possessed by the Spaniards, with the,states and territories that are beyond all question independent. We also ob- Serve, by an extract from a Coracpa Paper, re ceived through the American Journals, that 13o liver was vigorously disputing the footing pos sessed by the Spanish troops in Peru, and that he hoped soon to attain his purpose, and---a new Cincinnatus—ba enabled to turn his sword into a plough.shnre, or cultivate cabbages, like the Emperor Diocletian. As to the resources of the mother country in the affections of the people, it is a point not so easily determined. One thing is certain—that if Spain possesses Ole affections of South America, it is not by de serving them. But this, it must be udmitted, proves nothing. There is nothing meritorious in the Inquisition—or in Don Victor Saez—and yet the state of abeyance of the one, and the retire. went from office of the other, find persons who express affection and regret, both at Madrid and Paris. Another reason, in addition to this semi ' official notice of the Madrid Gazette, for suspect ing that the Ministry of M. Casa.frujo means to attempt the subjugation of America, is that such I I is notoriously the wish of the Emperor of Russia, whose influence turned out Suez, and appointed his successor. Perhaps his Imperial Majesty has on hand another half dozen rotten ships, which he wishes once more to dispose of to his Ally fmr the conveyance of his troops across the ocean. rfs;w Tneits.j The Madrid Gazette of the 4th instant gives a long and laboured answer to the assertion so fre quently made in England, that the South Ame rican Colonies are de facto independent ; and it enumerates several extensive districts, particularly in Peru, where it asserts all the inhabitants to be decidedly attached to the Spanish Government. It is extremely difficult for persons either in Spain or in England to ascertain how far these statements are _founded in truth ; but taking it for granted that even a large part of South America acknowledges the Sovereignty of King Ferdinand much larger part certainly renounces his authority'; ,the countries are torn to pieces by factions and civil wars, and to bring them under any sea of subjection to the Mother Country would . demand exertions infinitely be yond any that Spain can make. The scrupulotis good faith which our Government has shein throughput the whole dispute between the Mother Country and her Colonies, ought to be most highly appreciated by the Spanish Government, when it reflects how very different a conduct Spain pur sued in 1779, when she interfered . between us and our Colonies, and joined the. coalition which compelled us ,by force of arms to recognise the independence of the latter. It would, there fore, he wise in the new Spanish Cabinet to avail itself of the good dispositions of England as a mediator to .negocinte a peace with the different portions of South America ; and Without disput ing whether they are independent de jure or do facto, to, endeavour to convert the independence, which sooner or later must happen, to the advan tage of both parties. Principles of Government analogous to those of Europe may by pacifh . : rtr rangements be established in South America, and even particular bonds may unite the Spanish and South Atherican Sovereignties ; but the vain 'attempt to re-establish the ancient ascendancy will only prolong a state of anarchy, which must be pernicions to the cause of good govertmsent all over the world. What we say of Spain we say of Portugal'. Two attempts have been made to persuade the Brazilians, whose country has been so long called an Independent State, to sink back into the rank of a Colony : the only effect which. is a prosecution of that idle project c an produce is to drive Northern Brazil into repu blicanism. [MOONING POST. I The Meeting in the Hall of Aricaln's Inn on Monday evening, for the purpose of voting an appropriate tribute to the memory of Lord Erskine, seiiiis to have occasioned very general digappointment. The signatures of so runny eminent Barristers to the requisition, created, we fear, an undue eXpectation of abundant oratory, as well as of abundant contributions in celebra tion of the acknowledged talents and virtues of the distinguished individual whose recent, death is so sincerely lamented by his Lordship's kindred and friends. How the failure happened to be so signal) notwithstanding the zeal with which the subject was previOusly forced upon public notice, can only be accounted for, we think ) on two grounds : In the first place, the, prosperity of the country is so-universal, and the satisfaction of all classes of the people with his Majesty's Government so perfect, that although the, name of LordErkine is associated with almost i every poPular topic of declamation, t was at pre sent considered an unprofitable waste of time stud speech to descant on themes which could find but a partial or feeble echo in public sentimeht. In the second place, his' Lordship, if we may so express ourselves, had outlived himself, although he was still contemporary with his own fame. It is now nearly 17 yiars since Lord Erskine may be said to have retired from professional, and with it,l from political life, 'and during that long period,' when so . Many of the present generation have reached and enjoyed the Manhood of reason, and so many, of those who flourished in the hr:ght cit. ree'r of his Lordship's day have sunk before him into eternity, we believe there are very few public acts indeed of this Nobleman upon record, which posterity would with to see inscribed on his tomb, or upon which a prudent but rapper : would endeavour to sustain his reputation, ai a Lawyer or a 'Statesman. We therefore deem the present, to be an unfortunate conjuncture for expressing the real opinion of the country on Lord Eskine's great and unquestionable Merits. Those who remember hi, splendid -tri umps at the bar are small in number, and have , lost most of the ardour with u hich either his fiery eloquence or their own passions the l n in-H spired them; and those who only recollect his later and declining years find' it di ffi cult to esti. mate the glory of 'his former life, while its efful gence is obscured by events still present to their imaginations. These reflections lead us to the conclusion that Lord Erskine's fame or talents should not be appreciated by the result of the Meeting in Lincoln's Inn Hall on Monday even ing. We should rather say, that it was at least unkind towards his Lordship's memory to convene such an assembly, if it were not intended to take the trouble of stating the grounds upon which the profession were required to express an opinion of his character, and having convened it, to render the occasion a subject of jocularity by the insipidity and heartlessness of the pro ceedings.

TRAGICAL SCENE had nearly imbrued with blood the benches of the Court of Assize. ,A namedman, naed Martial, was accused of theft, corn mitted in an inn . ; strong proofs were accumu lated againet him, which the able defence of Leturade could not destroy. At the moment when, after the finding of the Jury, the AdVo. cate-Gen. required sentence to be pronounced,the accused drew out a small knife and struck himself four times with it on his' breast, but the point not being sharp enough could not penetrate his Clothes. The accused nevertheless fell; assistance was immediately offered, and it was discovered that ho ha,d no wound. lie was sentenced to live yours, imprisonment.—(French Pver.) MCLANCRoLY CIRCUMSTANCE.—A: Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday before ThoreA.S STIRLING; ESq;, Coroner for Middlesex, at the Fortune of War Tavern, Camden Town, on the body of Mr. James Waters; of Lamb's Conduit-street, who put an end to his existence Under the melancholy circumstances detailed in the following evidence :—John Lea, the foreman to Mr.lthodes, the well known dairyman, stated, that he was walking across Francis Fields, Kentish Town, about eight o'clock on-Friday morning last, and, on approaching a large oak tree, he saw a man, as be thought, standing at the foot of it, apparently in an attitude, waiting to shoot at some object, but on arriving at the tree he found the deceased with a 'cord round his neck, one end of which was tied. to an arm of the tree. The feet of the deceased touched the ground, the cord having stretched considerably, after the deceased had -sus. yended himself. The body was quite c01d...-. Witness procured assistance,' uod, haVing:cut it down s he had it removed in a shell, which he got ,at the workhouse to the Fortune of War Ta vern—The above was corroborated by other evidence ; and a respectable : tradesman, who said be was the brollter-ite-law of the deceased; was examined to spew that the unfortunate man was insane, and detailed facts which satisfied the Jury upon that point. The deceased was an 'ex tensive poulterer, and the failure of some:specu. lotion at Kentish Town, which had occasioned him very Considerable.embarrassment,is assigned as the cause of the rash act.

The Magistrate said, what are you He answered, 1 am the son of a General in the army, and I, unfurlunutely, received a liberal edUcation, which led me to associate with thoie who, like myself, were infatuated with theatrb. cals ; the result of which was, that I went. on the stage,. and have, latter been travelo ling about the country seeking engagementi. At some towns I was retained for a short season, at other places, where the Managers had not room for me, the company raised a subscription to help me on the road to the next likely station. 'His hopes led - him to Windsor, but not finding 'a company here, he was reduced to the humiliat• in situation in which he was apprehended.

SPAIN. (Freon el Restanrador of the 6th instant. ) or THE LOANS OF THE' SOI-DISANT CORTES. It may appear useless to our readers, that since the hand of the -Monarch , confirmed the sentence against the Revolution, declaring all its acts null, we should ;call to :memory one of those which were most criminal, namely, the Loans. Never theless it is not so.. Some foreign journalists announce the arrival.of a courier with the intel ligence of their recognition; brokers and interested persons'applaud this happy news, and,disseminate it with ell possible activity. .The Restaurador, which observed silence with regard to manoeuvres which affected the value of the _ Loans on the Exchange of London, -which knew Jhat-the joy of these sanguine speculators was premature—which, without going out of Madrid, followed the secret manoeuvres of bankers ,who were , endeavouring to get rid of some mil linos by raising a false opinion of the credit of the paper, which remained without value in their coffers, Must . now speak out, and convince. all that the restoration having been effected, it would be an unpardonable error to recognise the' Loans. The RevolutioniSts knew well that a nation, loaded with a debt more than 11,000 millions of reels, crippled'in its industry, and exhausted by a disastrous war, could not meet the immense ex.. pences' occasioned by these dilapidations. The Restaurador will make no observation on the Want of authority in those who contracted the Loans; it will pass over in silence their malver sations, without any diminution of the national contributions being thereby occasioned, to say nothing of the augmentation of what is called the Civil List, and an increase of expenditure amount ing to 40,000,000 realS: It will abstain also from observing on the moral influence which the recog. nition of a debt, the offspring of crime, would have in Europe. Tet how is it possible that these topics should not attract the attention of all those to whom GOd has 'confided the direction of na tions. In vain would the arms which the revolt'. tiOnists took up against their King and their country have been wrested from their hands, if the loans with which they . endeavoured to ac complish their guilty designs were recognised. In such case the fate' of I:Grope might depend on the liberality of a banker, whom nothing might restrain from granting loans to other, revolutions. It would, be, moreover, an absurd contradiction to recognise the sacred right of intervention, de daring at the same time that the persons who had been despoiled Of their authority had legiti mate right to contract these debts. These reflections are so obVious that we have seen the value of the loans.diminished in proper. tiou as the French army advanced to the Py renees, passed the, l3idassoa, entered Madrid, and sat down. before Cadiz. The fury and venom with which the old creditors viewed the contract of the Regeecy with the banker Guebhard, must have been remarked by all: who .possessed his numerous bonds, which ti ere regarded as mere marks of. no value in trade, and only as a me., morial that there was a revolution in Spain in 'lB O O. I t was solely by dint of intrigues, false intelligence, and handfuls of paper money and gold lavished in all quarters, tilt they were able to prevent their bonds from being reduced to a mere nominal value, instead of remaining at the price' of TT: This would not have been ,the case with the' Royal ,Loan, , the : greater security of which consisted in the legitimacy of the parties who contracted it. And what purpose would it Serve ;to recognise the loans of the Cortes ? We cannot , shut our eyes. to the, state of our public finances. While France pays an annual contri bution of about 4,000 millions, Spain can hardly ralse'6oo, with this additional circumstance, that ilany.direct:tax were imposed, , nothing would enter the treasury similar in kind, or any other ) ; in short, though different in name. Again, the want of activity in our commerce, the wretched condition of our manufactures,the situation of Ame rica,•the .wantotthose artificial riches produced by rapid circulation, which in England are sufficient to cover a debt incomparably greater than ours, Must have ' a n immense inflUente in preventing the. recognition a; debt which not only. MHO be paid, but the recognition of which would an• nihilate the new Loan. The Restaurador cal culates that, at most, 100 millions of reels can be'assigned to the public credit. Now it these Nada are not suflisient. for Ahnpayment 9f the legitimate debts which press on the nation, and the strictest economy will be necessary in other quarters to'cover them, whitt would be the eon sequence- of -recognising the debts. of the Cortes, which exceed two thousand millions—whence are the funds to ,come for paying it off? Ought its payment to'be preferred to other sacred debts, and, above all, to the Royal Loan, on the 1.4, gious payment of which our . credit depends? We, must stop here, to place, in a clear point of view, one of the sophistries of those Who pique them tithes on the honour of the nation, which they think will be compromised.. if the constitutional debts are not recognised. Who will lend us money, they say, unleii w e act in such a way as will shield our credit from reproach ? Who ? He who acknow.. ledges, that it is better frankly to disavow 0408, originating in rebellion, than toexpose ourselves to certain bankruptcy, by sanctioni ng d e b ts w hi ch we cannot cover. In the oth er 'case, it wo u ld have been desirable, th a t i n st ea d o f t h ree years and a half, the anarchial facti on s h ou ld have reigned a few months longer, which, by follow lag the traces Of that which enslaved France vs n would have concluded He it by a bank ruptcy ° ' and delivering the ligitim a t e Monarch from a burden which can scarcely 'be calc u l a t e d.

It is trues that the money which the Bankers of Paris and Lon- OM lent, with so much liberality, to the ReVolam tionists of Spain, did not serve to pay 'numerous hosts to alarm all Europe, like those who banished the French clergy, and conducted to the scoffold the just Louis XVI. his heroic Queen, and the virtuous Madame Elizabeth, and so many other' daily victims.
