TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers•, July 3. [BRITISH E3S:j e The Careens Papers received yesterday give a melancholy representation of the state of Peru. They complain that a " veil of mystery" has been thrown over the proceedings of the libe rator, Bolivar, in that country, and ascribe the silence of the Bogota Papers to the disastrous re sults that have followed the military exertions of the Peruvians throughout the campaign. The Colornbiano, a well-written Journal, published at Caraccas in the English and Spanish languages, asserts from information derived from its own sources, " that the Peruvians have been uni formly unsuccessful ; that the army of Santa Cruz has been utterly destroyed ; that Canterac is in undisputed possession of Upper Peru, with augmented and well-disciplined forces ; and that the sole hope of Peru now rests on the troops and resources of Colombia." The editor then raises the question, whether it is advisable for Colom bia to continue the war in Peru, not as auxiliaries but as principals. He fears that in the exhausted state of the Republic this would be too great an effort. It was the work of fourteen years of continued bloodshed and suffering to liberate Colombia. Who, then, he asks, will venture to fix bounds to a contest in a foreign country, se parated from us by natural barriers, and deficient in moral energy ? and he argues, that as Co lombia neither can nor ought to be the sole in strument of liberating Peru, the Colombians endanger their own security by attempting to become so, and retard the developement and prosperity of their own institutions. If the Pe ruvians, as this writer states, be indifferent to their liberty and independence—if their troops have " fled the enemy with the timidity of their native lama," we must conclude with him, that icwould be the height of impolicy to prolong a distant and expensive war, for the sake of a people so unworthy of the blessings of freedom. That Colombia would be in danger if the Spa niards were suffered to remain in Peru, is satis factorily disproved ; and that seems to be the only plausible argument for an active participa tion in the Peruvian war. [mottNimo HERALD.] The recognition of South American Indepen• deuce, so far as the petitioning for it is concern ed, appears to !lava met with its death-blow at Leeds, the third town to which the petition• mongers had proceeded. This shows the good sense of the Leeds people; they know that com merce wants no protection ; they know that trade best protects itself. " Let us alone," said the French merchants to Colbert, who wanted to know what he could do for them. So we say to the merchants of England, Let the Ministers alone in this South American recognition rifles tion. Do nothing.—The Ministers know the people they have to deal with on the Continent ; the drawers up of Petitions do not. The 'Mi nisters know how vulnerable we are in Ire land, the \Vest Indies, Hanover, Belgium) the Cape of Good Hope, Canada, the East Indies. The Ministers are aware, that if they begin to interfere with Spain and Portugal's Colonies in South America, the Holy Alliance may interfere with Hanover and so forth. In all probability it was this question that caused the Ministers to close the Parliamentary doors so suddenly, for fear they should be forced to say more upon it than they wished ; but the peti tionmongers cannot or will not see the compara tive situation in which England is placed. Some argue, that because the United States have ac knowledged the independence of these countries, we should ; but there is no analogy in the two cases. The United States have no East and West Indies, no Hanover, or any thing to fear, in re spect to foreign possessions of any description. If they had, the United States would act differently, for there is not a meaner Govern ment in the world. We should remember therigrmtrole addressed to Mr. Luriottis, one of the Greek Deputies, when he upplied,in the name of the:Greek Patriots, to the United States, for even a little countenance to their endeavours at becoming • independent' of the , Turks. And why , was this ? The - United States' President would nitturally say, in considering such applica tion, if we side with the Greeks we shall have , the Turks against us ;• and the loss of trade to Constantinople and Smyrna, would be to us in. finitely greater than the gain, on the other hand, would he of • the Greek islands all put together. In this South American question, we are decid edly of opinion, that the Ministers should not suffer themselves to be goaded on by the people, in the way our ancestorial :lovers of Usurious Loans goaded on George the Third. lf,in conse quence of George the Fourth suffering"himself to ber goaded on -by these petitionmongers, he Should :make a mistake, and by a premature ac knowledgement of the Independence of the Spanish - Colonies, should go to war with the Holy Alliance, the .very first year of that war ironic! cost 100,000,00 W., the interest of which, at five per cent. would be 5,000,000/. entailed for ever on our children; and our exports alto gether do not exceed 7,000,0001. Our object should be Pence, in order to.a gradual lessening of the taxation, so that England, as in former times, may bear comparison, more than she now does, with other nations, as to the price of the articles of life. -As to. Whether these countries 'are or are not free of Spain, it is a matter of no moment' to us, in a trailing point of view, fur they ,only produce- about three- articles—hides, cotton, , and tallow and if the •South Americans were not to send-us any of thdliiiarticles, we could get 'them In abundance elsewhere. rTHE TINiIII.I The F rf ;i i ch Papers otUrecirtegany, %thich ar rived last night, contalts .. the corringinfi of the io 'tereating debate op thel4penc - es of the Sploish campaign, and the otptit'oillinary mismanagement or the public &Huy 'which di , tiogeilsbed it. 'After all ,tholoYators : who had inscribed Their 'names tfll r pitak for or auainst the project of lasi fur granting the supplementary, credits hat'. fincsbed. M. de Martignac, the Iteporter of the Commission, made his final summary, and ad mitted, in the most unqualified manner, that there had been great extravagance and great dishonesty in the expenditure of the public treasures during the war. He concluded by declaring, however, that Ministers, in the liquidation of the accounts, would not pay what was manifestly unjust—that incapacity would be removed, and knavery punished.— Before the Chamber came to a vote, M. de la Bourdonnaye, the leader of the Ultra opposition, asked M. de Villele a few questions, which led to the following extraordinary admission on the part of the latter—that he, namely M. de Vil lele, considered all the three Intendants em ployed sdccessively during the campaign, as po sitive knaves, or of suspicious honest) , ; that the first was guilty ; the second guilty, though in a less degree ; and the third, not entirely free from corrupt conduct. These three Intendants, ac cording to the, order in which M. de Villele wished to apply his censure, are M. Sicard, M. Regnault, and M. Joinville. The opposition leader, while he admitted their common corrup tion, dissented from the justice of this graduation of the scale, and declared his conviction, that if the first was liable to remaches, the second was more guilty, and the third a thousand times more than the second. But another question of M. de la Bourdonnaye led to a more extraordinary avowal still on the part of the Minister of Finance—namely, that this guilty second Intendant, M. Regnault, is now the audi tor of his own dishonest accounts, and is actually sitting at the head of a commission at Toulouse, passing the very bills which attest his corrupt conduct. This avowal, which was drawn reluc tantly from M. de Villele, and only after llamas, the Minister of War, had been appealed to, struck the Chamber with astonishment. It did not, however, prevent the passing of the project of law, hich was adopted by a majority of 234 to 69. We have often had jobs at home, but we can scarcely match the French Commissariat jobs in Spain.— The great majority obtained by the Minister in this case, evidently lent him their support on the pledge that strict inquiries would be instituted into malversations ; and from an opinion that, although malversation had existed, the public service should not be interrupted by refusing the estimated credits. [NEV TIMES.] The Mot'le of the Ist instant - has come to hand. It contains nothing at all explanatory of the late rumours of a change of Ministry in France. There is indeed an article which afflicts to contradict the assertions of the Liberal Papers on this head; but it seemed involved in that studious obscu rity which implies that there is something to conceal. We do not understand, for instance, whether the Etude means to deny that M. de llamas has resigned the War Ministry, or whether it be merely meant that his resignation is an in sulated fact not likely to be followed by others of a similar complexion. The most important fact noticed in this Paper is the division of Monday, when there appeared in a House of 303 Members only sixty-nine votes against the grant of the Supplementary Credits. This would seem to afford an inference that M. de Villele is as strong as ever, at least in aid Chamber of De puties ; but it must be remembered that the pre ' sent question is only as to the propriety of cover ing with a credit the expenditure which has ac tually taken place. The case may be different When an examination has been made into the de tail of charges. Even M. de Villele himself seems to admit that there have been immense peculations ; but he promises that they shall be looked into, and punished. Among these poll tied storms the Funds seem to go down but very slowly. They were on Wednesday 102 60, both for money and account. [NIOUNING POST.] The proceedings in Trinidad on the receipt of his Majesty's Order in Council for regulating the future treatment of slaves and promoting their manumission, have grieved and somewhat sue prised us. - With the tone o f the petition to the Governor (which we inserted yesterday) to sus pend the Proclamation of the Order, there is loss cause to be dissatisfied than with that of certain speeches said to be delivered when that petition was proposed and agreed to. Fur every reason able apprehension of n'egro insurrection, the horrors of which we duly estimate, it is meet that allowance should be made in judging of the sen timents ascribed to planters resident in our Wes- tern Colonies. But even the just fears of those Gentlemen must not be suffered to protect the absurd principles which they occasionally ad vance from exposure and chastisement. They certainly labour under the grossest delusion, whether as regards the theory or practice of politics, in imagining that the state of any por tion of his Majesty's subjects is, or even, has been, by law immutable. The general will of the Empire constitutionally ascertained and declared, governs all things, including the fate of the Negroes in the West Indies. In a general sense, too, the Government of this country must he as much awake and as interested in the wel fare of the Colonies—as vigilant to prevent real danger to the lives and properties of the Planters as the largest proprietor of slaves and sugar estates. The diqance, indeed, at which those possessions are placed may render mistakes in le. gislatiug for them more possible than in legis lating for the inhabitants of the United Kingdom, and so far as the Colonists may contribut e t o en lighten Parliament or the Council on the actual state of affairs in the West Indies, such efforts : are not only praiseworthy, but desirable and ex pedient. With respect to Trinidad, however, it appears to us that the facts in posses sion of Government, previous to the issuing of the Order in Council, which seems to have created the lute display of terror and intemperance, fully warranted every provision in those admirable in structions. The simple object in view is to'en. courage the manumission of slaves, and of coarse, where manumission has been naturally pro gressing, there is both the greatest reason to' faci litate its extension, and the greatest eertah k ty, o f success, and security in doing so. Let us see then what, according to the Papers laid before the House of Commons in the Session of 182.3, was the actual state of the coloured population of Trinidad. It is as follows : Free. Slaves. Proportion. In 1818 - 10,655 a 24,848 . Ito 2 1.3 1821 - 13,388 - 21,719 - Ito 1 2-3 From other parts of these Papers, it appears that in the 14 years between 1808 to 18/3, the num-, ber of manumissons in Trinidad 1331, or about 1-18th of the whole coloured population, while in Jamaica during the same period the manumis sions did not exceed 1-50th of the black inha bitants. [MORNING CURONICLE.] We had yesterday an opportunity of reading a letter from Madrid, received by the last post, written by a Gentleman of considerable know ledge and observation. After going into a com plete exposition of the financial state of Spain, which he represents to be as deplorable as can possibly be imagined, he comes to the conclusion, that the Spanish Government cannot any longer go on without a Loan, so great are the arrears due to the Military and Public Functionaries, and so clamorous are the creditors of the State. From these premises, and the fact that no Loan can be negociated in France, he proceeds to assert that recurrence must be had to Eng land, and consequently that the Constitu tional Loans must be acknowledged, directly or indirectly, or some equivalent allowed for them. From motives of false pride and obstinacy, the evil day is put off—but it must come. The si tuation of the King is really precarious. He has expended all the money which the cathedrals, ecclesiastical chapters, and the fanatic hoarders, were able to scrape together, and he has spent and squandered it in pursuits which have been attended with results totally opposite to those fondly anticipated by the lenders. Plenty and prosperity were expected to follow the overthrow of the Constitution, and it was thought that every one concerned in this great and pious under taking, will be crowned with laurels, emblazoned with ribbons and crosses, and loaded with wealth. In short, it was confidently hoped that the church militant would become pre-eminently triumphant, and that the inquisition would inevi tably be restored. The reverse of all this, however, has been the case, and the King's late auxiliaries cry now out that they have been duped and sacrificed. The Monks and Friars who had taken arms to join in the crusade against the Constitution, — and who had gone up to tl►e cap►tal to join in the scramble for the loaves and fisher, have been stripped of their epaulettes, and politely sent back to their convents, under the pretext that offence cannot be given to the Holy See, by patronising men who had been carrying on war, whilst their calling was one of pence and brother ly love. In fact, nothing, it is said, can equal the chagrin and disappointment of the Servile party, and they lay the greatest share of the blame to the account of the French, who, they conceive, have been a complete bar to the re alization of their humane intentions. They say that the French have taken to themselves the whole credit of the campaign, and now thwart them in their schemes of persecution.. They have gained an undue ascendancy over the King, and the Councils of the country, and they are even irreligious enough to pro tect and favour those Constitutionalists who have remained behind, or taken refuge in those towns in which French garrisons are placed.— Hence have the pulpits, in those parts of Spain which are not immediately over-awed by the presence of Bourbon legions, begun to ring with anathemas against the impious invaders, of a Ca tholic land, and in the Confessionals they are held up to execration. The very same party, in fact, which, two years ago, united against the Constitution, is now forming against the French, its real overthrowers. The latter have taken the alarm ; this spirit of hostility has been denounced to the King, and he has felt him self compelled to write to several towns, re questing the people to view the French in the light of friends and benefactors, and conse quently to lay aside all animosity against then). This spirit of hostility nevertheless increases, and the military commanders have at length found themselves compelled to write to Paris, com plaining of the ingratitude of the Spaniards, and their distrust of their benefactors, and actually demanding mere troops. If things go on thus, strange things may yet be expected in Spain. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. MARLDOEOUOIf-STREET. -3 1r. ROE, the Magistrate at yesterday occupied for a considerable ti me i n the eoxrnceai was s on of a young man who was brought to the office I n a h a ckney-coach, upon the following singular and extraor. di n ar), charges:— The prisoner presented perhaps the most remarkable appear- ance that ever was exhibited at a poljce-office. He was dres sed i b n r o a at tic g a r u l i e d t 4a c c e k , e a t raiicrholfy crimson embroideredeloth and troar up the sides with broau gold lace also, a black stock, a shacco, or light dragoon's cup, boots and long brass s tirs, and his eyes streaming with tears. He is a remarkably soerniziented ornamentedw.ith aright genteel figure, very fair complexion, a n d wears mustachios. Being placed at the bar, Mr. Cooper, horse-dealer and livery-stable keeper in Grosvenor-mews, came forward and stated, that the pfisoner came to his stables about ten days ago, and presented his printed card, " Henry Cate C'onyers, 9th Lancer," saying he had just been appointed t o that regiment, and w a s preparing tojoin, for which view he came to purchase 2 horses for the ser vice. Mr. Cooper showed him several, and he pitched upon two, for which he agreed to pay 160 guineas ; but saying that he was going to stop in town sonic days, and would not use the horses about the streets, he requested to have a pair of hacks for himself and his servant. Mr. Cooper happened to know the servant, who bad been only hired the day before by the prisoner, and he let him have the horses, which he has been riding about for several days, while, in the mean time, Mr. Cooper was preparing horse-clothes, saddlery, &c. for the prigoner, according to his directions. On the last occasion, however, that he called, Mr. Cooper happened to get a peep at the prisoner's shirt, which appeared to be of a very dark Colour for an officer of the 9th Lancers ; and although he knew the Conyers' family in Essex to be highly respectabk, he began to suspect something wrong, and inentioned his suspicions to a person who had been in the service of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, and who now holds a situation in the revenue. • This person went with Mr. Cooper to the War-office, where they were informed that there was no person of the name of Convent in the 9th, nor was there likely to be; and that upwards Of fifty persons had already been to the office enquiring about the saline person. Upon this, Mr. Cooper said that he had no - doubt the prisoner was a swindler, and determined to secure hini when next be called. The prisoner, however, had fioteallettsinte, nor had Mr. Cooper heard any thing of him until that morning. —A servant ocitr. Cooper's happened to be on business at the Horse Baaaar in Portland-street, when he saw the prisoner strutting about in his present dress, arm.ind arm with a gentleman now present. The servant told the pri soner that he would insist on his coming to speak to Mr. Cooper about the purchase he bad made, and accordingly they all got into a coach and drove to Mr. Cooper's, who immedi ately brought the party:to this office. Mr. ROE then ordered the prisoner to be searched, and on unbuttoning his beautiful laced coat,' a most extraordimiry sight was exhibited, realizing the most extravagant caricatures of the 'Tandy tribe. His shirt was not dark, but black, and almost in ribands, and there was no waistcoat to hide any part of it.— 'On proceeding further, Plank, the chief officer, who searched I' him, found is his trowsers-pocket a pistol loaded to the muzzle, and primed, and a large bottle of laudanum about half-filled. Mr. East, a tailor, residing in Duke-street, St. James's, next came forward, and said that a servant whom he had formerly known as living with a gentleman that dealt with him, called on him and said that he' had just been hired to Captain Conyers of the.9th Lancers, who wanted an entire fit-ont to join the re giment, and wished Mr. East to have the job. Mr. East ac cordingly waited upon the Captain at the Bedford Hotel, in Covent.garden, where he appeared to be living in very great style. The Captain, who is the present prisoner, confirmed What the servant had said, and gave Mr. East an order for 701. worth of uniform, &c., , for the 9th Lancers ; part of the order was executed, to the amount of about 201., and the things de livered to the prisoner at the Bedford Hotel, who told Mr. East that when the order was completed he would give a check upon his hankers for the whole amount; but when he next inquired for the prisoner at the Hotel, he found that he had decamped, and he saw no more of him until he saw him by accident pass_l ing with Mr. Cooper in the coach, and he followed him to the office. The rest of the order Mr. East said was completed at home, and the things being made for so slight a man as the prisoner, they were totally useless. John Smith, a groom, residing at No. 10, Circus-street, stated, that some months ago the prisoner, who then called him self Lord De Montfort, and occupied a house splendidly fur nished In Glocester-place, applied to Mr. Young, the manager of the Horse Bazaar, to purchase two valuable horses then to be sold, the property of Sir Thomas Malcolm, and actually did agree upon terms for the horses, saying also that he wanted a groom, and Mr. Young sent the witness to his " Lordship," who immediately hired him at a liberal wages, clothes, &c. The witness referred for his character to the Earl of Oxford and Lord Harley, with whom he had lived, and the prisoner called on their Lordships, and took up his character ; but when wit ness next went to Glocester-place, he found that his new mas ter had decamped, and since then he had seen nothing of him until that morning• at the Bazaar. The gentleman who was walking in the Bazaar with the pri soner was now asked by Mr. RoE, what lie knew of the pri soner, and what his own name was ? The Gentleman said, that really he was so shamefully duped by the prisoner, as he now clearly saw, he should feel obliged to be excused entering at all upon the subject. Mr. Roe, how ever, insisted upon an answer to his inquiry, when the Gen tleman made, as well as we could bear, for he spoke in a whisper, the following statement :—His name, if we understood right, is Captain NVilson, and he said that he met the prisoner sonic days ago, accidentally dining in the same coffee-room at the west end of the town, and having got into conversation, the prisoner told him that his name was Paget, that he was the nephew of the Marquis of Anglesea, and he had just been appointed to the 9th Lancers. II eying a high respect for any member of that family, Captain Wilson not only became in timate with him, but introduced him to all his respectable friends in town, with many of whom be had dined, and even slept at their houses • and no circumstance whatever excited his sus picion, until Thursday last, when he was invited by the prisoner to dine with him at Brunet's Hotel, Leicester-square ; but after dining in a most sumptuous manner, and drinking a good deal of champagne, the bill was called for, when suddenly the prisoner discovered that he had not drawn an intended check that day upon his banker, and politely requested Captain Wilson to defray the charge, which he did, to the amount of five sove reigns all but 4s. He met bins again that morning in the ex traordinary dress he now wore, which is not the dress of any regiment in the service, and walked with him for a short time in the Bazaar, when Mr. Cooper's man accosted him. The button's on the scarlet jacket were here examined by Plank, and found to bear the inscription—" 13th Native Ben gal Infantry." Mr. East said, that this part of the dress did not belong to bins, but the crimson trowsers did. The prisoner here said, that lie got the jacket that morning from a Jew in Newport-street, with whom he exchanged his own plain clothes for it. Plank here observed a small pocket which had escaped his search, and putting his hand in, took out 3 paper, in which was contained two checks, one for 351. and the other 25/., in these words : " Sudclifr, June 24, 1024. Please to pay George Halls, Esq., or bearer, thirty-five pounds, which place to my account. "EDWARD MARKLAND. "To Messrs. Ilatnmersley and Co. Bankers, London." Mr. ROE here observed that this purported to be the sig nature of Mr. Markland, the Magistrate at Queen-square office. There was also in the paper one of those imitation bank-notes issued by lir. Macalpin, the hairdresser in Threadneedle -street, for 000/. At this period of the examination Mr. ROE called upon the prisoner to give some account of himself, when he stated that his real name was Henry Lowe, that his father is Mr. Thomas Lowe, a merchant, having his counting-house at No. 115, i v io a le w r o i r t r . Thames-street, e h e e t, h i a m n s d his el fii a d private b ee ri placedlo ttis at by hne h l i a sfa r. th p er lac i e n , the office of Mr. Elston, a merchant, No. 20, Basingliall. street, but not liking confinement, he went home again to his father's house, where he remained until a month ago, when he ran away, and enlisted as a private soldier in the 78th regiment, and was attested at Queen.square office, before Mr. Markland, the Magistrate ; but when he got to the depot of the regiment, the Adjutant told him that his constitution was too delicate, and foot soldiering would soon kill him ; and having got a furlough from the Adjutant, lie came to town to get his friends to buy him off, but be had not been near any of them yet. Ile had no doubt, however, that his father would pay all the demands upon him if he were made acquainted with his situation. Ile said that the._ witness Smith was mistaken in saying that he had hired him as 4 groom several months ago, for he was then in the counting-house of Mr. Elston. Mr. ROE asked' him what his age was I—He said 17 this month. _ _ - - - - The Magistrate asked how he came by those checks on Ham mersley's bank ?—He replied, that he wrote them himself, merely for his amusement ; but he had no idea of making use of them. He took the name of Mr. Markland from the Court Guide, but he would have as soon taken any other name. Mr. ROE observed that it was much more likely that he Made the imitation from Mr. Markiand's signature to the at testation. • As to the imitation bank-note found on him, the prisoner said that' he got if from 'Mr..Malcalpin, on whom he called a few days ago to have his hair cut, in company with a Mr. Shapruniere, the son of an Officer of marines, with whom he is acquainted, and who lives in the Albany-road. Mr. ROE asked him what his object was in carrying a load ed pistol and a bottloof laudanum lie replied, that his determination.was, if any person should lay bold of him, to put the pistol immediately to his own mouth, - and blow his brains out, and the laudanum he Intend ed to drink. In-f a ct, he had drank half the conteits of the bottle the night before at Captain Wilson's house, where he slept. eitptain Wilson acknowledged that he did sleep at his house. Mr. ROE now referred to the Directory, and found that Mr. Weston is the merchant's name who lives at 115, Thames street. The prisciner, in explanation said, first, that his father was a partner of Mr. Weston's ; andi again, that he was only ma naging clerk to the establishment. • Mr. Rot said, that this was a case which required strict in vestigation, and ordered the prisoner to be remanded for fur ther examination, upon the charge• of obtaining goods under false pretences from Mr. East, the tailor. The difficulty now was how to send the prisoner into a pri son in the extraordinary dress and appearance he exhibited; and the prisoner himself feeling the full weight of this ob. stacle, and crying as he continued to do during the whole exa mination, roared out, " For God's sake, will any body lend me a coat ? It was ultimately derided that a messenger should be dis. patched to his father's for a change of dress, and if not pro. cured, then he must only figure away as he is in Tothillfields prison for a few 'days, It was observed in the Office that this young man, if dressed ' in plain .clothes, bears a resemblance to young Robinson, Mr. Abraham's apprentice. The pistol, checks, &c. are in the possession of Plank. The' ex-Director-General of Police at Hesse- Cassel, M. de MANQEir, is still at Fulda, where he is closely, guarded by getidafmes. The Se= cretary-General of Police, and his two assistants, are imprisoned at Cassel. According to rumour, these, fun:tionariea' are ,charged with' having been concerned' in'the anonymous letter's which threat ened 'the life of the Elector.—(Journal du ()Om. merce.) KINDAR BURIAL-SERVICE. During the funeral ceremony, which ii solem* and affecting, the Brahmins address the respec tive elements in words to the following pur- port : O Earth ! to thee we commend our brother • of thee he was formed, by thee he was sustained, and unto thee he now returns ! 0 Fire ! thou hadst a claim on our brother : during his life he subsisted by thy influence in nature; to thee we commit his body; thou em blem of purity, may his spirit be purified on en tering a new state of existence. O - Air! while the breath of life continued, our brother respired by thee ; his lost breath iq now departed ; to thee we yield him. 0 Water! thou didst contribute to the life of our brother ; thou wert one of his sustaining ele• ments. His remains are now dispersed ; receive thy share of him, who has now taken an ever lasting flight.—(Forbes's Oriental Memoirs.) The traitor BALLASTEROS is now said to be aboard what may be called the French Political Hulks in the port of Cadiz. After being excepted from the amnesty by the grateful FERDINANDi he took refuge in that city. He had no sooner arrived than he was insulted by both the parties into which it is divided. Being in a coffee-housei he was called traitor by some constitutional offi cers; and attacked by the mob on leaving it, he was obliged to take refuge in the French head• , quarters. He complained to the French General of the danger to which his life was exposed, and was requested to leave the garrison, that his pre sence might not excite disturbance. The only menus of safety was to put him on board a ship sailing for Gibraltar; but having learned that he would there be exposed to greater dangers, he declined to proceed on his voyage. He now, therefore, remains under French protection in the harbour. METEOROLOGICAL JOURNAL. BY IL BANKS. PUILMAPHICAL INSTRUMENT MAKER.
