THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, March 27. • [MORNING CLIRONICLIE.I The ambitious and long-formed projects of the Queen of Portugal, leagued with her hopeful son, the Infante Don Miguel, continue to occupy the attention of the Portuguese, and several let ters, brought by the last Lisbon packet, which we have had an opportunity of perusing, mention that very serious consequences are anticipated.— Besides the proclamation found on the corners of the streets, openly inviting the people to join in demanding a Regency, and the consequent de position of the King, a circumstance to which we have already alluded, we find that indirect over tures- bad been made to the several officers in command of regiments and battalions to join in the same plan, the particulars of which they are said to have communicated to the Government. All the domestic feuds which ha►e for such a number of years existed between the King and his spouse, are revived at the present moment, and as it was the party opposed to the King (whose chief offence is now alleged to be the sin cerity with which he adhered to the Constitu tionalists to the last) that was most active in the late re-action in Portugal, they are emboldened to hope for success in their present enterprize.— The Queen's supporters are found among the No bility and Higher Clergy ; but the King is be loved by the people and soldiery.—We find that the frigates Princess Real and Amazona left the Tagus on the sth instant. Their destination is unknown. At the same time, the armed ships Galatea and Triton sailed for Angola, with a new Governor and 200 troops on board, and also the armed brig Providence, for the Cape de Verde. rfIIZITIIII4 PRESS.] The French Chamber of Deputies met on Wednesday. The Etoile contains a short but characteristic account of their first sitting. The few Liberal Representatives who dared to take their seats among a mob of Royalists are stigma., tised as the " Faction of Sixteen ;" and soon af ter Benjamin Constant entered the Hall, ♦oices were heard to exclaim—" 11 faut les refouler sur la montagne"—" We must thrust them back upon the mountain," alluding to the party of Robe spierre, Couthon, and the sanguinary faction who filled those seats in the days of the Convention. This is a tolerable earnest of the feelings and fu ture career of the party now congregated together as Representatives of France. What may not be anticipated from such a Chamber at the close of its Session ? A loan to the unparalleled amount of 3,300,000,000 of francs, or 132 millions sterling, has, it is said, been contracted for in Paris by Messrs. Baring, Rothschild, and the French banker, Lafitte, to enable the French Ministers to commute the present 5 per cent. into 3 per cent. Stock. The arrangement is so extended, it is said, as to apply to the discharge, if necessary, of the entire national debt of France ; that is, that part of the debt which stands on the Great Book of France a present acknowledged, for the amount was much greater previous to the Revolution ; but two thirds of its then existing amount was suspended or suppressed by Napoleon's celebrated Decree of " Tiers Consolides," under which the holders of Stock held warrants for one-third only of their claims ; the remaining two-thirds were to have been conceded at some future day : but Buona parte subsequently - contrived to extinguish those claims. In the conversion of the five per cent. stock into that of three, the present holders are expected to take the threes at 75 francs for every hundred ; if they object, the Goverment, it is said, by means of the loan, will pay them off, the three great capitalists undertaking to supply the im mense funds for that purpose. Mr. Baring was o n his way to Paris, for the purpose of conclud ing the arrangements. Bargains in the new Stock were already transacted in our money market yesterday ; and the French 3 per cents. were selling in the afternoon at 80, thus bearing a premium of 5 par cent. This is a pecuniary ar rangement to an amount hitherto unprecedented; the sum is of startling magnitude, and one we should have conceived it almost impossible for individuals by any effort to supply ; but the ca pital and daring speculation of this country is now equal to almost any thing. Thus three in dividuals, two of them British merchants, will hold in their hands the entire debt of France. The undertaking is, indeed, a mighty one. [MORNING POST.] The Bill which makes the Slave Trade piracy was passed last night by the Commons, after having received from Sir James Mackintosh the tribute of praise to which a measure so important to the interests of justice and humanity was duly entitled. " Nothing," said the Learned Member, " could augur better for the cause than the cir cumstance of the two English nations on both sides of the Atlantic having taken the lead as they had done in this business. Their example, he trusted, would shame other countries into giving up that traffic to which they had hitherto so obstinately adhered. If England had been the first to abolish the trade, America had been the first to declare it piracy, and he rejoiced that neither could claim the whole honour of effecting so much for the destruction of the Slave Trade. The North America❑ natives inheriting on the sea the skill and courage of their parents, were jealous of their maritime character ; but even in this re spect they had something of their pride in the cause of humanity." The Bill was afterwards taken by its distinguished authors, Mr. Secretary Canning, attended by a crowd of Members, to the House of Lords, where it went immediately through a first reading. The Commons then resolved them selves into a Committee, in which a Resolution, propcsed by the Attorney-General, was adopted for giving compensation to certain Officers in the Courts ofJustice, whose situations or emoluments would be taken away by the County Courts Bill. The last business of the night was a Committee on the Custom Acts, in the course of which the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed aßesolution, which was adopted, for making the reduction of the duty on the importation of Foreign Wool gradual, ' and laying one on the exportation of British long wool, to meet the wishes of the manufacturers who feared that if English long wools were ex ported, other nations would be able to rival us in certain branches of commerce, which at present they had not the means of doing. According to this new arrangement it is settled, that on the 10th of September the duty shall be reduced three pence, and on the 10th of December two pence, leaving only a duty of one penny upon Foreign Wool. The exported long Wool of British growth to be subject to an ad valorem duty on the raw material of 16 per cent. [MORNING HERALD.] The documents relating to the slaves (pro duced by Lord Bathurst on Tuesday) were dated May 28 and July 9. Had this taken place in a leas enlightened age, it would have been looked upon as a favourable omen ; for the 28th of May was the birth-day of William Pitt, the advocate for the abolition of the Slave Trade, and the 9th of July is within a few days of the memorable day of the American Independence ; the Bill for the Abolition of the Slave Trade passed both Houses of Parliament March 24, 180$, and on the 25th, at half-past eleven o'clock in the morn ing, it received the Royal Assent. " Thus passed," says an able writer , " after a twenty years' hard struggle, during which th e fi e ld h a d been disputed inch by inch, and won at last by the arms of reason, this Magna (Marta for Africa, in Britain, wider the Administration of Lord Grenville and Mr. Fox—au Administration which, on account of its noble exertions on be half of the oppressed African race, will pass to posterity, living through successive generations in the love and gratitude of all the most virtuous of mankind." [VIE TIMES.] Paris letters of Wednesday, which we received yesterday, contain some curious facts respecting the opening of the Chambers, and some import ant information respecting the present temper of the Court of Spain. King Louis XVIII. was rolled in his chair from his apartments in the Tuileries to the hall in the Louvre, fitted up for the Royal sitting, as on the two last occasions of opening the session. It will be recollected, that till within these two years his Majesty met the Legislative Bodies in the Hall of the Peers at the Luxembourg. The infirmities which induced him to alter this arrangement, and to order his Peers and Deputies to assemble before hire nearer home, manifested themselves on Tuesday in a manner to make the throne an object of pity during one of the most august pageants of Royalty.— Whether urged by Ministerial policy, or led by personal fondness for display, his Majesty had resolved to appear in public when evidently un fit for the fatigues of a public exhibition. Ilis memory, which has hitherto been very good, seemed entirely to have deserted him ; he read his speech in an indistinct hesitating manner, and with the air of a man who attached no m eaning to the words which he uttered. .While the names were calling over, and the subsequent business proceeding, he fell asleep several times, notwithstanding the continued though deli cately concealed efforts of the Duke of Blacas, his first gentilhomme in attendance, to keep him awake. On the day of this melancholy ex hibition, news are said to have arrived in Paris, that Ferdinand had issued a Decree equivalent to a military amnesty, and had given the pledge of the speedy publication of an amnesty em bracing all classes. This decree determines the situation of all those who have served in the Con stitutional armies as officers or soldiers, whether they voluntarily abandoned their standards, were made prisoners of war in the field, or were in cluded in any of the numerous capitulations with the French. A general pardon is extended to them—a pardon for resisting foreign aggression ! and no restrictions with respect to their place of abode are imposed, except that they shall not in habit Madrid, or any of the places of Royal resi dence. But as they might be dangerous to the state,if left free to settle where they chose, while deprived of every means of support, a hope is held out that - they may be again recalled to active service ; and a pledge is given, that in the mean time all officers, from the rank of captain up wards, shall receive the half of their former pay, and all subalterns two-thirds. Such is the ar rangement formed with respect to the Constitu tional troops—such are the promises and engage ments of the Government to reconcile them to the existing order of things. We suspect that they know Ferdinand too well to place any re liance on his pardon, and are too well convinced of the ruined state of his finances to expect any thing from his liberality. [NEW TIMES.] By the expresses received yesterday from Paris it appears that a plan for reducing the rate of in terest upon the National Debt has had a favour able effect upon the public credit in that city, the ltsnts having risen to 102 f. 50c. Thus in the space of nine years the public sipurities of France have advanced in price one hundred per cent.! a result which even the most san guine could not have anticipated. There was much business done in 'the Funds during the whole of the day, in consequence of the fa vourable accounts from Paris ; Consols advanced from 944 to 94k, which was the latest price for the Account. some further transactions took place yesterday in the anticipation of the New Three per Cent. French Stock, which were taken at the advanced price of 75 to 814, the latest price being 79-1. This, upon the mere specula tion that such stock will be created, gives strong proof of the stability of French credit at the pre sent moment. French Scrip also attained a pre mium of 16 per cent. We do not understand that Mr. Hurtado has yet announced on what conditions he is willing to gratify the good people of England by accepting a Loa❑ of their money. It will be somewhat difficult, we fear, to get him to pocket more than two or three millions ; for his delicacy, no doubt, is such that he will insist on paying the old Loan out of the new one ; and, moreover, leaving us some of our own money with which to pay ourselves in terest ! Giving all due credit to the liberality of those worthy foreigners, who are so kind as to ease us of our superfluous cash, we are nevertheless glad to find that the market is not leftto them ex-' elusively. For a long while nothing would go down but loans ending in an, such as Neapolitan, Colom bian, Chilian, Peruvian, Poyaisian, &c. But now we find plain English schemes beginning to take, and every day brings out a. new one under more or less promising appearances. A plan, under the designation of a " Philanthropic Loan Bank," was made public yesterday, and promises to meet with much success. The plan is said to have been brought into execution through the benevo lent exertions of Mrs. Fry. A DAY IN MADRID. [ FROM AN ANONYMOUS TRAVELLER.] I wa k e ____ , tis four o'clock in the morning! the whole broad street Of Alcala is spread before me with all its Churches, Palaces, and Convents ; while at the further end, the shady walks of the Prado form a sublime sight, baffling description. The matin bell announces early mass, the streets become more animated ; veiled women in black, men in long brown cloaks, with cedissalas, wear ing their hair in a kind of net work, h an ging low down their backs. The doors of all the balco nies open, and water is sprinkling before every house. Now the goat-keepers, with their little herds, enter the gates, crying, "Milk, milk! goats' milk ! fresh and warm !" There I saw market women pass by with their asses loaded with ve tables ; bakers with bread in carts of Spanish reed ; water carriers and porters hastening to commence their day's work; while, with a hoarse voice, two consequential looking alguazils pro claim thefts committed in the preceding night. By degrees all the warehouses,shops,and booths, are opened. The publicans, (tabernecos) expose their wine cups ; the chocolate women get their pots ready ; the water-carriers begin to chant their " Quin beve ?" (who'll drink ?) and the hackney coach and chaise drivers, with mule teers, take their stands. Soon the whole streets re sound with numberless criers—" Cod, white cod! Onions from Garcia ! Walnuts from Biscay ! Oranges from Murcia ! Hot smoaked sausages from Estramdura ! Somatos, large tomatos ! Sweet citrons ! Barley water ! Ice water ! A new Journal! A new Gazette ! Water melons I Long Malaga raisins! Olives from Seville! Milk rolls ) fresh and hot! Grapes! Figs, new figs! Pome granates from Valencia :"—lt strikes ten ; th e guard mounts : dragoons, Swiss regiments,Walloon guards, Spanish infantry ; and the general cry is, " A los pies vin Donne Mamula !" " let us go to Mass." All the bells are ringing, all the streets are covered with rock roses, rich carpets hang from every balcony, and altars are raised in every square, under canopies of st_a t t l e , . 01 1 , h a e pe i r ) na r ! o di c rn e r s oa s bg io ee i ss ) sets out. What a number \\hatofneatolittlefp p riests and angels w ith wings, p asteboftra covered with of f f s cr a o i l n d ts lro ,) wc'iatcille powdered tr bob swarmswigs, how many beautiful girls, all looking pleasant, and all mixed in groupes.—The clock pro claims noon. We return through the square of the Puerto del Sol. All their ifas, raffles, have begun, all the hackney waiters are busy, and the whole square thronged with people. One o'clock many love-apples, —we are called to dinner ; a great deal of saf fron, plenty of oil and pi mento,wine from la Mancha, all of Xer e s and but Ala ! What a fine thing is Spanish cookery. La ti s iale ies n t g) a a ! La siesta ! Sonores ! A deadly silence is in all the streets ; all the window shut ters are put oP) or the curtains let down ; even the most industrious porter stretches his length on his mat, and falls asleep at the fountain, with his pitcher behind him. At four o'clock every body repairs to the bull-fight, to the canal, or to i the Prado ; all s gaiety and merriment, one equi page after another at full speed, to those pla*ces of diversion. The Puerto del Sol becomes as crowded as before, and the water carriers and orange woman are as busy as bees. Thus passes the afternoon until the dusky shades of the even ing close in at last. Then all the bells again ring, Spaniard says the prayer of salutation and Virgin. Now all hasten to the tertulrv.s and theat res , an d i n a f e w minutes the to every the once more resounds in every street. rattling e c arriages ia lamps before the images of the Virgin are already lighted, the merchants and dealers have illuminated their houses; and shops, and the sellers of ice-water a nd lemonade their stalls— e very where are seen rush-lights and paper lanterns on the tables of fruit-women and cakemen. Meanwhile the crowd in the square has prodigiously increased, and it is soon full.— In one part you bear the soft sound of the guitar, in another a female ballad-singer tells in rhyme the tale of the last murder committed ; in a third a thundering missionary attempts to move the hearts of obdurate sinners, while the light-footed Cyprian corps carry off his audience by dozens. Soon passes the rosary and tatto, with music, and the equipages return from the theatres. It grows still later; the crowds begin to disperse—by one o'clock in the morning the streets are all still and quiet, and only here and there resounds a lover's solitary guitar, through the more solitary gloom of the night. All else sleep in the quiet repose, which even nature her self enjoys at night. lITDROPHOBIA.-Alr. MEATON, cowkeeper, of Back-fields, Tothill-fields, and his brother-in law, went into the Artillery Arms public-house, Westminster, about five months ago, and during the time they were there a little dog ran into the room and seized the brother-in-law by the heel of his boot. Mr. Meaton took the dog off, and killed him on the spot, in doing which the animal bit him slightly on his finger. Mr. Meaton took no notice of the wound, which appeared so very trifling, and it soon healed ; but on Thursday morning about seven o'clock he was suddenly seized with very strong symptoms of hydrophobia. Medical aid was instantly called in, but notwith standing every aid that could be used was called into exertion, he only lived until yesterday morning, when he died in the greatest agony.

SURREY ASSIZES, MARCH 26. Sarah Wharmby was indicted for stealing at Petersham, ° II d the 21st of February, a quilt, value 201., a scarf, value AL, an other articles, the property of Charles Bayley, Esq. in " dwelling-house.—Mr. THESSIGER opened the case for the prosecution. It appeared in evidence, that Mr. Bayley, the prosecutor', was in India ; that his wife, Mrs. Bayley, took a house 1 1 , Petersham last year for her health, where she died in the lat to end of last month ; that the prisoner was her nurse,. of whom the deceased always spoke in terms of the highest praise. The prisoner in her defence said that the property in que stl° , 4 had been given to her by the deceased, with strict injunctio n to her not to disclose that fact. Mrs. Jones Burdett (and other witnesses of the highest 1 ; spectability) spoke to the character of the prisoner, of vib ° , she had been in the constant habit of hearing Mrs. BaP ci speak in terms of the warmest affection and regard, and saY! that she never could repay her for the assiduity and attenq with which she had watched over her during an illness of 611- teen months' duration of the most distressing nature. The medical Gentleman who had attended Mrs. Dal during her illness corroborated these facts, and further stat e as did Mrs. Jones Burdett, that the deceased was a LadY ° very generous habits. Mr. Justice BEST summed up the evidence, and dwelt uP °l ; the improbability that articles of such a nature and rarity those, for the stealing of which the Prisoner was indicted' should have been given to her by the deceased ; and also ta u the attention of the Jury to the contradictory statements o , , t .r ea prisoner upon her being applied to for an account of the artic' in question. The character which the prisoner had recei/ e u i was in every respect credit a bl e t o h er , b ut i n t hi s i nstan ce co l d avail her nothing, unl ess th e J ury cou ld enterta i n any d o ubt " her guilt ; which he could not suggest.
