LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE NIORNIZ,G PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Post.l PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Extract of a Letter from a British Officer, dated on the Ganges, July 17, 1818. " Since the general tranquillity of Europe, /a ction events may, perhaps, have had somewhat ruore of interest with you than they have iisnally lio‘seeil ; and we have certainly furnished you a pretty thick succession of late. The upshot has heeu quick, and very comfortable for us. We remain with extraordinary advantages acquired, purchased too, so to speak in sucl, a matter, at a very cheap tate ; and oar successes have been a blessimg to an immense population. The ignorance and the turbulent habits of some petty Chiefs may still occasion temporary but limited interruptions of the public tranquillity ; but such speedily and easily repressed, are very different politic uneasinesses from the systematic rapine so long carried on by everyMahratta Power, as well as by those ruthless and untamable freebooters, the l'indarries. Thank Heaven, that scourge of Hindoostan exists no longer, nor can it ever re appear, if there continue to be a decent energy in our Government. That this necessary vigour will be hereafter forthcoming is more than can be safely predicted. In reviewing the annals of our Gov,rinuent,. there seems to have been at almost all times in it an inherent tendency to go to sleep in too confident or unreflecting security or uncon- During this slumbering, the native Stales recover strengh, fashion their resources, and con ceit new intrigues with each other ; till at length the busy hum of preparation ' arouses us from the lethargic nap. It is possible that our Noble Governor'-General might have been induced by this habit of our Councils to have dozed away It is term of superintendance in chief, as exemplarily as any Governor that ever preceded him, had nut cet ut. matters been nearly ripe for the long-premeditated mischief, at the period of hi , arrival among ns; and that a certain dull note of surrounding hosti- li!y had not infested his pillow, and awakened ap prehension and reflection. What he foresaw has Callen ont ; what he , prepared for has happened ; and what he early promised to you has been ful- filled in all. But as no man is a prophet in his own conwry, t shall be agreeably disappointed to find that this able and indefatigable Man, and-suc cessful Administrator and Commander, is allowed by you in England to have been weather-wise,' and provident for you here. I will may add, that as tar as my near observation enables me to judge, every prospect here is favourable, and, just all that I would wish it.' It most now be the noble task of :he Governor-General and Pre sidency here, to make the future product and re sult answer to the present appearance and our expectation, which will, I depend, be the suc- cessiul base and labour of our present Chief, be fore he leave us to take and enjoy the honourable and tv,H -earned rest and ease his encrejes, perse- verance, and great soiccess, so highly ►merit." CObibPIRACY AT BUENOS ATRES.--A Mr. Ai`Con4), who resides at Buenos Ayres, writes to his kiend at Salem, tinder date of the 19th of August, as follows :—" Since you left here; something of a rim,r e has occurred wtiar will be the consequence I know not. i t appears that a combination has been formed, in which are some of the most respectable citizens in Buenos Ayres ; their intention was to secure the Di rector and Principal Officers of Government ; a plan was laid to take the Director of the road to his Kinter on Thursday last ; a Serjeant of his body guard bad agreed to execute the plan; but, after receiving a good sum of money with a pre tence of bribing the remainder of the guard, he pocketed the cash, and made known the whole affair ; in consequence of which several of the party have beets arrested and are now in close confinement. I am fearful that much blood will be shed before it ends."—(lbid.) After what we have more than once positively stated, in contradiction of the wilfully false state ments of some of our Cotemporarks, we certainly did not expect that any further attempt to deceive the public with respect to pretended changes in the Administration would be made, even by those who deal only in falsehoods of their own inven tion, and who dare almost daily to contradict un doubted facts. Yet sta ange to say, the same false statements were yesterday unblushingly reiterated from the same unprincipled quarter ; anti there fo!e do we feel ourselves called upon, in order to guard even the unthinking few against such base artifices, to state that there is not, nor ever has been, the slightest foundation for any of the assertions thus audaciously made, nor has any thing whatever occurred that could by possi bility he construed to give even the semblance of probability to any such events —(Mid.). [The Times.] The Ministerial Aff6irs of France being settled on their present foundation, we suppose no very important alterations will take place in the Re preseutatives of Foreign Governments at that Court. As the Ministry is in essence and spirit unchanged, those who have to transact business with it, will in ail probability remain the same. Hence all rumours of the retirement of Sir Charles Si hart are at an end. The designation of a cer tain Noble Lord as his successor certainly sprung out of a belief that an Ultra-Royalist Ministry would be formed on the dissolution of the old one, to which Ultra-Royalist Ministry his Lord ship's opinions were thought most congenial.— The matt therefore, it was conceived, was ready, if die Party hail been ready to receive him. The French are indeed aware of Lord Harrowby's patty attachments, which he has not been stu dious to conceal.—As to interference in the af fairs of foreign States, people may, no doubt, v rsh for the prevalence of one party or one set of principles ever another, according to their own views of general utility, as we do with re spect to every State in Europe; but that is all_ tiiat should be allowed or tolerated. The French themselves, when subject to Buonaparte, unlucki l; gave . too strong an example of domineering in toregin capitals; but this system should have \Ve received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday last, :They announce the unexpected death of the Queen of SPAIN. After her Majesty's death, the child of which she was pregnant, was brought into the world by means of the Caesarian operation, but it only lived a few minutes. The following are extracts : "CHAMBER OF PEERS—Surma or MONDAY, JAN. 4. " The Order of the Day was read for the de velopment of the proposition made in the Sit ting of the 30th December, relative to the Duke de Richelieu. " The proposition was developed by its Author, he Marquis de Lally Tollendal, and the discus ion was opened according to the regulations on he question, whether it should be taken into consideration. Previously, however, the President commu nicated to the Assembly a letter from the Duke de Richelieu, stating, that though very tar from de clining any testimony of approbation which might be conferred on him by the King, he could not consent to have on his account any addition made to the burdens that pressed upon the nation. The taking the question into consideration was combated by some Members, on the ground of the incompetence of the Chamber, and the danger of the consequences. It was defended and supported by other Peers. " The Chamber decided that the proposition should be taken into consideration. " The proposition, after being examined by the Bureaux, will be discussed at the next Sitting. " CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. PRESIDENCY OF M. RAVEZ. " Several resolutions proposed by M. Dumei let, for making new regulations with regard to Petitions, were ordered to be taken into consi- leration by the Bureaux. " The Chamber in Secret Committee heard the development by the Baron Delessert of his pro position, respecting the Duke de Richelieu. " A letter from the Duke was read by the President, similar to that communicated to the Peers. The proposition was opposed by M. de Pontet, and supported by M. Froc de IR Boulaye, who vvartuly eulogized the Duke de Richelieu. It was then ordered to be taken into consideration, and referred to the Bureaux. " PARIS, JAN. s.—His Excellency the Duke de ' rernan Nunez, the Spanish Ambassador, had the linotsi t yesterd4y of deliiering to h\Majesty Autograph Letter . trOm hi s Sovereign, nnouncing the death of her Majesty the Queen of Spain. " The Court will go into mourning in conse quence, next Wednesday, for 21 days, 11 in black, and 10 in white. " The Queen of Spain died on the 26:h ult, at nine in the evening, in consequence of repeated attacks of llemiplegia, which she survived only 22 minutes. After her Majesty's demise, the Caesarian operation was resorted to with the consent of the King, for the purpose of endea• vouring to preserve, the foetus, which had been recognized to be an Infanta ; but every care proved fruitless—it only survived a few mi. nutes. This melancholy event was announced officially in The Madrid Extraordinary Ga zette of the 27th ultimo. The deceased Queen Maria Isabella Frances, who was born at Lisbon the 19th May, 1797, was the daughter of John VI. King of Portugal, and of Charlotte Joachima of Bourbon, Infanta of Spain, sister of Ferdi nand VII, of whom the deceased Queen, his con• sort, was consequently niece.

" MADRID, DEC. 27.—(OFFICIAL ARTICLE.) " The 26th December of this year, will be a day of eternal grief for the Spanish Monarchy, on account of the loss of a Queen endowed with the most eminent qualities, and who was at the same time the ornament of the Spanish Throne, and an example of all the domestic virtues. " At nine in the evening, the Queen, whilst in bed, and conversing with some of her attendants, was suddenly seized with a convulsion, which lasted for two or three minutes. Her Majesty came to herself, but remained in a restless state, and was almost immediately attacked by another convulsion. The convulsions from this moment continued without intermission, and notwithstand ing the best remedies were immediately resorted to, 'all were in vain ; the convulsions continued for about 22 minutes, when the best of Queens expired. `• The deplorable death of her Majesty having been notified, the Cmsarian operation was re sorted to, with the permission of the King. The child, which was an infanta, was bap tised at the moment of its extraction, but notwithstanding every care all the means used to preserve its life proved fruitless ; the Infanta ex pired in a few minutes. " These sad events have plunged in the most profound grief the King our Master, who loved the Queen with all the tenderness that her virtues and qualities deserved. The misfortune has not less afflicted the most Serene Infants, and parti cularly the most Serene Infanta Donna Maria Frances d'Assise, who has lost in the Queen the most virtuous sister. The whole Court, on learn ing this afflicting intelligence, gave proofs of the profound grief which it experienced for the loss, of a Sovereign, who was its delight. The unfortunate weep the loss of an august and bene volent mother, whose liberal hand was always open to relieve them. The Arts have lost an illustrious protectress, who delighted in support ing and encouraging them. Nor is there any class of people to whom the day will not be one of sorrow and lamentation. " These afflicting- motives have induced the King, our master, to order a Court Mourning for six months, commencing this clay ; the first three months, deep mourning ; and the last three, half mourning."—(Madrid Extraordinary Gazette.)

" It is reported that Talcahuana is evacuated by the Royalists, and that part of them have re turned to Lima, and the rest to Valdivia.

Our private accounts from France, on which we depend, state that the people of Pads are no t recovered from the surprize excited by the sudden change of Ministry. What accounts for the ir dismission, viz. want of harmony among them' selves, may be applied to the sevezatparties W l . ' which.the rie\ple are,eivirred ; no,Partir caryel sr anOtf4r, and distrust prevails s to a censiderabi g degree even among the individuals compositig each of the Factions. In this state of fear, je B ' lousy, and suspicion, the Government finds a ten?' porary safety ; but if they could possibly a ct in concert, the impolicy of so hastily withdrawing the Allied Armies would most probably he 5 0 ° demonstrated in a new and dreadftil Revolutiou . This, we are assured, is the real state of thing 9 in France, but how long this balance of Partie s is likely to continue is a melancholy considers' tion ; for if the JACOBINS once obtain predonli' nance, the result will be radical reform, annual elections, universal suffrage, and all the horror' of anarchy and carnage. The report in some of the Morning Paper's' which we noticed yesterday, stating that Mr ; CROKaR is going to India, is, we find, just 81 destitute of foundation as all the other rumour s of Ministerial Changes which we have so olte° contradicted on good authority, but which bars been so often repeated with unblushing pertina city. This Gentleman, we are assured, is lo t likely to leave the Admiralty, where experience , added to Areat talents, have rendered him morn; eminently useful. We feel great pleasure in stating, that HAYS' LAND ADDINGTON, Esq. the eldest son of the late Right HOD. J. IL ADDINGTON, is appointed a Commissioner of Stamps. We understand, that it was the last request of the departed Gentleman, that his son should have some provision under Government ; and from all that we have heard of the Gentleman thus appointed, we are convinced , that his own talents and attainments will fully justify the nomination, independently of what is due to the memory of so amiable, intelligent, and faithful a servant of the Public, as his rever ed and regretted father. Mr. HAVILAND ADDINGTO was some time employed in a Diplomatique caps' city abroad, and conducted himself with such ability and discretion as well entitle hi m to the confidence of Government. ended with the war, the object of which was to render States really independent, which, so long as he continued, were subject to the most degrad ing foreign dictation. Whilst the Army of Oc enpation remained also, we seemed to claim, by Treaty-, the right of repressing such principles, and opposing such measures, even in the heart of France, - as might 'endanger the tranquillity of contiguous States. But the retirement ofhat army is an open relinquishment of the controul which we held by compact ; and no Foreign State night to attempt to exercise by swill!) that influence which it has openly and avowedly given up. [New Times.] The latest accounts from Paris represeut the price of the renfes as improving. On Monday last they left off at 67-80. From this circumstance some people seem inclived to augur well of the stability of the New Ministry. We are sorry to say that our impressions are by no means in uni son with such an anticipation. The speculators in the funds at Paris no doubt rejoice at the no mination of the Abbe Louis, and hence great ex ertions will probably be made to mark his en trance into the Ministry with an improvement in the price of Stocks. The impetus thus given will bring forward capital in some small degree, and thus' occasion a temporary demand. So far the change of Ministers may benefit the Stock holders. 0 ,,* Our Correspondent X.

The truth is, that there was no!hing peculiar to any of the Morning Journals of yesterday. Far from intending to relinquish the plan, the satisfaction which we find that it affords to our Country Readers, will induce us to make it a permanent feature in our Paper. THEATRICAL REGISTER.
