TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extrath from the Morning Avers, May 4. 1340 RN 1! , 7 - 13y . the arrival_Of the Britannia,: at Cork, from Sierra Leone, we learn that fetters have been re from thence, bearing date the 11th of The only 'mention they make, of- Sir Charles`M'Ciirthy is, that it had ex-cited , great surprise_ among the inhabitants that no , accounts Triad been received of a late date from thtit,Ofer, whose return was expected at the end of the pre cedinti month, and who was consequently consi derably over time. 'this remark naturally leads to an apprehension that the melancholy intelli gence, via Barbadoes, will prove' but - too - correct, Whilst at - the same time it may be_ deemed some what singniar, that from the 30th ofJenuary (the -date of the intelligence from Accra) to the 11th of,March, no accounts should have reached Sierra • Lone of the dreadful diSaster.•We • fear, how ever, t tt this circumstance tiffa'rdi,ito ground for disbelieving the' intelligence : :Sierra Leone being so 'far to' the windward, that - it-sometimes. takes a vessel many .weeks to beat up to it frorrOhe Gold Coast. Before the aboli -tion of the Sive Trade, the warlike propensity of - the Ashatiteesi was exercised in *kidnapping in / -ctirsions tippri 'the 'territori e s of nations further in -'the interior; their captives w ere disposed of FentWillealers, the agents and filerids of 4... -- the whites. a loss of their accustomed- traffic ' l4 ; , -was ignoralitotscribed to. the Fantees, Who,' in • • , -rousequenc.s, became - the Object of their resent. ,anent ; and ,it will be recollected that it was in 1807 that they, for the first lime made their ap- Fsy yearan . ce on - the CoaS,t, when, after utterly de. -- feating the Fantees, they got. possession of the : - Dutch : fort of Cormantine, and subsequently ....:atticked the British fortress of Annamaboc in .•,great force, from whiCh they were repulsed, 7- - thotigli the garrison Consisted only of about : thirty persons. Near 10,000 of the Fantees - were massacred by the ...kshantee force in this --expedition.' In 1811 they again invaded this unfortunate' territory, and subsequently, in the :l e • year 181t5, just previous to Mr. BOwdich's :.sion. The A Shantees then blockaded Cape -Coast Castle, and the Government having averted imminent danger by advancing a large sum in gold, on account of the Fantees, earnestly re --quested the African Committee to authorise and -enable them to venture an embassy to deprecate -those repeated calamities, to conciliate the Monarch of Ashar tee, and procure, if possible, an extension of commerce.. The result was, the mission of Mr.-James and . Mr. Bowdich, which closed in the treaty .since violated by these bar barians, from *hem, we fear, it will now be very - difficult to obtain any reasonable terms. [THE TIMES.] -We have seen an interesting memorial to Go vernment from the merchants who are endeavour ing to establish a competition midi the French in the valuable gum-trade of Senegal; of which France has, since the peace, enjoyed'an almost absolute monopoly. It appears that the French traders have employed slaves exclusively, in all the labour carried on by them at Senegal ; white the English are by law compelled to make use of free labourers only; and that the increasing suc cess and prosperity of the French settlements in that quarter are closely connected -with an active prosecution of the brutal slave-trade, which tempts the native Chiefs to abandon a traffic in produce, for a traffic in slaves—interrupts inces santly the peace of the inhabitants, and renders hopeless all attempts to civilize and improve them. Our merchants, - therefore, describe their claims upon the protection of Government, as powerfully enhanced by cobsiderations of "a higher character than 'those which belong to the immediate be nefit of commerce, and they ask accordingly for some e&ctusl tnethod of securing the opera tion of the Act 3 Gee. IV., c. 43, .which gives the exclubive'suppty of gum Senegal to the British merchant, and excludes the article Shipped from France—the law being now evaded by a ship ment of the gum from 'France to •Atherica in French vessels, and a re-shipment in British vessels'to the ports Of togland from America.— How far Ministers may regard this question as atifording opportunity for the full application of the principles, of free trade, or fora modification Of-or exception to those principles, we cannot determine. It is Clear that the surrender of Se negal to France, or of any other spot upon the coast of Africa once in our possession, was among that , myriad of otTences against the best interests of England and of humanity. which 'will, to the end of time, be brought against 'the memory of our incapable and unfortunate aegociator of the peace of -1814-and 1815. tnnyrtszt Pla.ss.j Alittle 'time will disclose whether any projects are really meditated by France against the inde pendence of •Brazil and Spanish America. The presence 'Of so many French vessels in those seas' is certainly in itself a subject of strong suspicion. Our force, we trust,' will be .increased . sufficiently, so as .effectually to check any attempts that might be meditated by Vineleis:mi„i stry in that quar ter of the world. We •vould trust nothing 'to the faith -df that Cabinet, and - Yet, with the im portant financial arrangements now making with British capitalists, on Which so much depends, urn which a single breath of hostility ‘„ „vita tyre rturn„ it is strange that any attempts of This doubtful description should be made on the part' rtf France, which - the Slinistry of that country must know cauld.not pass without the peremptory demand from us . of immediate explanation. 1 1`11e Etaile of Sundarnotizes this subject markedly, anti denies positively that there is-any foundation for it. The' *English Papers, the - Dale says, oir The'faitli of pretended 'letters "from Rio Ja neiro,, lave given currency in London 'to news from Should appear That the Frp_ncir force , on the l iazil gtation h as b een i ncre nsed,aud, oasea' to 3 .. 8 %Oar. We can affirm (the Paris-' men add" that 'this•news is without any foun; th et i om , `Th e 'force in those seas, which los not been augmented for teveml years., is onl y there to protect oar - totikeree, and'often even that of other nations; the late events of Per nambnco and' Para have proved the necessity of it. The Mali states that the ColOsse, which the Courier pretends was then at Rio, Was 'laid up in orditiary at Brest. The state of these Colonies (this paper concludes by saying) onight perhaps call for an augmentation of the French force at these different points ; but while we admit whet it might be proper to do, we are bound to Speak the truth as to what exists. We place little reliance on the statements of the Ethile.. Our best assurance lies in' the powier and relotYrces of this country, and our superior naval strength. [km rusts.; The agitation which lately prevailed in the Money Market is rapidly subsiding; and the Funds had yesterday nearly reached the quota tions at which they were previously to the recent alarming reports ; Consols having clos ed at 964 for the account, and the other funds bearing a proportionate advance in value. —The expresses from Paris have brought the closing price of the French Funds on Satur. day at 104.10., on which day the private let ters state the financial project for the re. duction of interest payable on the Rentes to have been carried by a larger majority of the' Chamber of Deputias than was gene. rally expected. The Foreign Securities in which the late depression took place, have re covered, and much business was yesterday done in them at the following prices :—Colornbian ilonds•at 90i, exclusive of the Dividend, and the Scrip at 3} premium ; the Scrip of the Mexican Loan advanced from 8i to 10 pre miern. The price at which investments were made here for the French Rentes was 104. 25. A t length the last hope of the duped and credu lous holders of Spanish Bonds both in Paris and London has vanished. Those people deserve in general but little commiseration; for many of them even now appear less displeased with the knaves who imposed on them, than they are with the friendly monitors who warned them of he fraud. Let them call to mind the audacious falsehoods by which they were 'first tempted to venture their money on the credit of the Cortes. Let them remember how distinctly the bankrupt state of the Spanish Finances was Stated on the one hand, and with what unblushing impudence it was denied on the other. We by no means justify the King of Spain for the course which he has pursued ; because we have all along de clared our opinion that he is equitably bound to a reimbursement of the money advanced before the infamous 7th of July, 18Q2. But King Fer dinand's injustice (if it be such) does not in the slightest degree extenuate the villainy of those who originally contrived the scheme of loans which they well knew never could nor would be paid ; but which served them as means to defraud the public. [MORNING CIiROIYICLE.] • The truth of the intelligende respectinr the defeat of Sir Charles M'Carthy is doubted by The New Times.—" The stiteMent (says our Contemporary) is given in a Barbadoes Paper of the gOth of March ; it was brought thither bj 'a merchant brig, called the Elizabeth, and states that' the battle was fought near Succondio, which is to the westward of Cape. Coast. The account is given in two different letters, one from Accra, of the 31st of January, the other from an officer of the Owen Glendower, at Cape Coast, on the Bth of February. We know that the 0 wen Glen dower sailed on the sth of January, with an in tention of running down to call at Gape arid proceed thence to search the harbours and rivers of Benin-and Biafra. We know also that Brigade- Major Rickets accompanied Sir C.M'Carthv from Sierra Leone to Cape Coast in Novetnber ; and the name of Major Rickets is given as severe ly wounded in the Acera Letter. Still thi s does not appear to us very conclusive ; and there are some , circumstances a little - suspicious in the story. It is rather singular, that if a battle was fought on the 21st of January on the Gold Coast, the first account of it should reach this country from 13arbridoes. Barbadoes it a place sylle-re any news unfavourable to Sierra •Leone, or its' Governor, would easily find credit. Accra, too, is a place where the Dutch party would be likely enough to invent hind - news."—Our contemporary proceeds to notice the circunistande of the death of Belzoni, while the Sierra ',veil Gazette of Jan. 24 mentions his recovery, and starting out on his enteprise with every hope of ultimate success. From the details elsewhere given respecting Belzoni's death, the doubt raised on that circumstance is unfortunately removed. With respect to the first news of a battle on •the 'Gold Coast reaching England from Barbadoes, we understand from naval from that this is easily accounted for. The reason of the oircuitout route is this :—The calms which prevail within a few d'e►grees of the equator, end the trade winds, make it 'necessary for vessels coming from the coast of Africa to England to proceed to .the southward of the line, and run so Air to the westward before they haul to the northward, as to make some one of the We►st India Islands. In fact, merchant ship;freqtrently touch at one of them. It would appear, then, that no conclu sion against the authenticity of the information of the defeat on the coast of Africa can be drawn from its hating reached this country from liar. badoes. The Courier thought proper, a few days ago, to contradict a statement in The Chronicle, that Mr. Lushington .was going out to Bombay. We can assert with confidence, that the statement was perfectly correct.; and Mr. Lushington's Constituents were to assemble (at the time we are now writing) to determine on his successor.— ," By the bye, where does The Courier pick up its intelligence ?"—(ibid.) ;[MORNING -HERALD.] Tice 'House of Common's yesterday resumed their lahours,, after the long Easter recess. There was an uncommonly full attendance of Members, 49 is e ll as of professional persons in the lobbie s , '8" . Many petitio ns were _ presented, togeth er , with Bills regarding the various /few Loan, An.; unity, and other Joint Stock Companies, that have sprung , up in the City, in Manchester, in Dublin, and other places; ivid the promoters of such Bills have a. good deal of extra trouble, expence, &C., as the finite for presenting petitions for private Bills regularly elapsed in March.-- The parties now have to present " petitions for leave to present petitions to bring in" the Bills ; and those " petitions for leave to present petitions," have tobe ref er r e d to pri va t e Com mittees. By granting the prayers of such peti tions, praying for leave to present petitions, and they are seldom refused, the customary forms of Parliament, and the previous six months' notice of intention to apply for private Bills, are dis ponied with; whether wisely or not, of course time must slew ; but by such forbearance re specting the enforcement of their own standing orders, the public have not those long previous notices of projected private Bills which were heretofore held to be such sacred safeguards of individual and local interests. Besides, by thus acquiescing iu these petitions for leave to present petitions, even a month and more after all private Bills were ordered to be in the House, or they were lost for the present Ses sions, there is a vast accumulation of the business of the House. The business of the Private Bill Offices has commenced anew, es it were ; and the bringing up petitions and the forwarding of what is termed the " private business" of the House, now occupy till about seven o'clock every evening, whereas they Used to be dispatch ed in one hour (instead of three hours !) after the meeting of the House. This is another remark able change in the character of Parliamentary proceedings, in addition to that of the decline of long speech making. The gallery and the pas sages leading to it were last night crowded to ex cess by those interested in the numerous " joint stock" petitions and Bills brought forward ; and by divers well-known faces and persons concerned with the " Foreign" Market, who were anxious to learn what might be said regarding foreign affairs—the French fleet and disasters in Ashanfee. Mr. Canning was in his place by five o'clock. In the House of Lords an important notice was given. .The Earl or Lau derdale announced that he should this day apply for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the " Spite!. fields' Acts," to remove all restrictions on the Silk Trade; and his Lordship added, that he should then state his reasons why he thought the total repeal would be preferable to the partial repeal (which had been adopted) of those mea sures, and would be more beneficial to local and general interests. A curious petition was pre sented from Sir John Shelley Shippey, of Kent, laying claim to the dormant Peerage of Baron de Lisle, praying an investigation of his claims, and that he may be forthwith summoned to attend in his place as a Peer of Parliament. lie traced his descent from Baron de Lisle, who was summoned to the Parliament by Edward 111. The petition had been presented to his Majesty, and on Saturday last Mr. Peel signified his Ma. jesty's pleasure that the petition should be for warded to and investigated by the House of Lords. A Lisbon letter, received by the last packet, mentions that the Council of War held on Gen. AvILEZ was the subject of general conversation, and had given rise to very severe remarks. The following are the leading particulars connected with this affair, as described in the words of the, letter above alluded to:— 1 ‘ Gen. AVIL E Z was always kn own as an intrepid officer, a strict discipliniarian, and extremely punetual in the observance of orders received from his superiors. lie is, besides, a Patriot, and welfare of his - country at and has al wa y s h a d the honour heart.

This firmness and consistency constitutedhis present crime, a l t hough -actin g in concert with the KING him self up'to the very last hour, and this tiinie those he then op posed have not forgiven. He has, in fact, been an object of bitter persecution ever since the counter-revolution was effected in Portugal, although it was through hit cool and deliberate conductthat the etftision of blood was preVented, and in all ppro. bability the pillage of the capital. At length, by a Myst Order, dated Aug. 27, 1823, he was directed to be brought to a court-martial. Six of his own colleagues were named to . form the Council, and one of the Ministers was appointed - President. The charges preferred against him by this Tribunal_tiere in fact the tnost glorious actions of his life, and he was even re proached for having saved the feiv Portuguese troops in garri win at Rio de Janeiro, when the revolution commenced, on which occasion he prevented the breaking out of a civil war, by yielding to circumstances it was out of his power to cc/in teract or controul. The whole of the charges preferred agafnst him proved the malignity of his enemies, and tended to evince in a still stronger light the probity o f hi s con d u ct. At the fourth sitting of the Council, he w as , for the first time, called in and examined, and he then availed himself of the opportu nity to skew that by withdrawing the few portuguese troops he had with him from Rio de Janeiro, he not only saved them from useless destruction, ,but also • prevented the horrors of a civil war, in which, most probably, all the European residents in Brazil would have perished. At length, three of the Members of the Council, although pur posely picked out for this trial, courageously voted in favour of his innocence ; whilst the other three, with the Minister at their head, condemned him in the most attrociousmanner, and thus, by a majority of votes, a disgraceful sentence was pro. bounced. At length, after warm debates in the Supreme , Council of Justice, his sentence was commuted into the loss of his rank, and one year's imprisonment in the Castle of Vide.— The whole proceedings have excited the utmost indignation in every reflecting mind, as they spew the crooked policy and in justice of those who stand at the head of affairs in Portugal."

ANCIENT AND NEW MEXICO. Mme. EDITOR—Under this name a most inte resting iixhibition has been opened at the Egyptian Hall, in Piccadilly, by that most indefatigable investigator of nature axed her varied productions, Mr. Buttocx. The Museum, to contain which the. CUTiOtIll edifice above men.tioned, was pur posely erected, was deservedly admired, not only for the many curious specimens it possessed, but still more for the perfect manner in which they were preserved. We did not hesitate to think that the sale, and consequent dispersion, of this valuahle collection, must be 'sincerely regretted by every lover of natural history, and more especially, by all parents desirous of giving their children an insight into the varied wonders of creation. To Mr. Bullock we were some time ago in. debted for the opportunity of seeing the Lap lander and his Rein Deer, and now he offers the public, what we do not hesitate to consider as the most curious and interesting spectacle that has yet been afforded in any country of Europe ; and one 'which, we are sure, the philosopher as well as the mere idler will be equally anxious to attend. It affords food for all tastes ; and the superficial observer, or other deep investigator of nature, will be no less pleased with the natural productions exhibited in what Mr. Bullock terms Modern Mexico, than 'the antiquary will feel gratified by examining the hitherto unknown monuments of ancient Mexico.— The present period Is highly favourable to a.n ex hibition of this sort. Not only does there exist at the present day a laudable spirit of research, but the New World is assuming daily an interest with the Old World, which it had not hitherto possessed. Long borne down by the oppressive yoko of the Mother Country, Mexico has 'at length made a bold, and, we sincerely hope, a successful attempt to establish its political inde pendence. This alone would render whatever has any relation with it a matter of no common interest. To Great Britain its emancipation cannot but prove of the highest possible import ance, since it must open a new channel for her commerce, and consequently give an additional stimulus to the industry of the manufacturer, and to the speculations of the merchant. In this regard, the advantages to be derived from this intercourse being mutual, they will be, no doubt, duly ap preciated by either country ; and from Mr. B.'s account of the facilities afforded him to explore the hitherto sedulously concealed treasures of Mexico, there can be no doubt of the anxiety of the pre sent Mexican Government to procure the good will of Great Britain. Certain it is, that this hope, together with the spirit of enterprize now suddenly called into activity, have given already to that country a stimulus, from which the most beneficial advantages may be with justice antici pated. Already, according to Mr. 8., are British capital, machinery, and industry actively em ployed in the immense field which has been thus opportunely laid open. - Under these circumstaaces, every attempt at giving the British public a correct notion of a country, hitherto nearly unknown, is deserving of praise and of encouragement. Towards giving an idea of what Mexico actually is, much has been done by Mr. B. in collecting the various quadrupeds, birds, fishes, plants, minerals, ar ticles and dress, &c. which fill the room appro priated to the elucidation of New Mexico. The animals and fruits are preserved in his best.style. ' They are curious in themselves, and the fishes, but more especially the delightful tribe or hum ming birds, are new, and beautiful in the extreme. Among the mineralogical specimen, the beauty of the novel forms of many of the crystals of quartz and of carbonates of lime, will not fail to attract the attention, and awaken the admiration of the mineralogist. . If the room destined to exhibit all that remains of Anci e nt Mexico be less splendid i n i ts ap pearance, it is not less interesting as t o it s con tents. The antiquary will find h ere as many - object s of wonder and of novelty, and no less matter for deep reflection, as the naturalist meets with in the other apartment. In the latter, the eye roves with delight upon the luxuriant pro ductions of a tropical climate. In this, it gazes with amazement upon the sombre, and somewhat terrific, but highly curious remains of a once powerful empire. The documents of its former state of civilization are thus suddenly brought to light, after lying concealed and nearly forgotten during the lapse of three successive ages. When the surprise of the beholder, at thus finding him self suddenly placed amidst the ruins of , Mexico, has somewhat subsided, and he more leisurely and attentively examines the idols, the statues, the hieroglyphics, the sculptured stones, the pyramids, &c. that lie around him, he must be immediately struck with the unsuspected pitch of perfection .to which the Mexicans had carried' the arts, and consequently with the degree of civilization which they had attained. Many more, + and no doubt equally valuable documents of this people, might now have been 'brought to light, had not the ravages of the followers of CORTEZ, in the first instance, end the destructive zeal, as well as 'the policj , of his successors, com bined to plunge the History of Mexico into complete obscurity, from which it will not now ever be able to emerge. This unfortunate cir cumstance must be certainly deeply regretted ; yet is it 'a matter of great consolation that the li beral spirit of the present existing Government has enabled Mr. 13. to bring forth documents which must have otherwise 'remained for ever concealed. They are, no doubt, in themselves a truly valuable acquisition, since through him alone can we form any Ming like 'a correct idea of the degree of civilization which the Mexicans 'had attained. That their profciestey in 'stapture far surpassed any notion I formerly entertained, I most readily avow. I could itnagine their pro. ductions somewhat superior to these of the South Sea Islanders, but was not in the leak prepared to find them equal, if not even superior, to those of the ancient Egyptians. Many are wrought in the same materials : the proportions of the human figure are Irot more intotrtvt in the one than in. the other, and the superidrity or the Mexican artists consists in having given 'a greater and a. • more varied eipression of counte l nince to Aso figures, than are to be'met with in - the works of the generality of th e E gypt i an . I n most respects, the similarity of style, of attitude, of bead-dress, is peculiarly striking,and - is certainly as' singular as It must be unexpected. NOr is thiirnostextn" ordinary coincidence confined to this, it exist* equally in the sculptured stone, in , hieroglyphic I- - writing, and even in th e st u p en d ous pyram id But, and as if to render this people still more ha explicable, if the edifices, the statues, &c. of so cient Mexico bear so strong a resemblance to those of ancient Egypt, the form of worship, the monstrous idols, its sacred caves, bear a re semblance equally remarkable to the disgustieg worship of the Ilindoos!! These facts, thus Un expectedly brought to light, must afford ample matter for reflection and give much room for conjec ture; but it is probable that the cause of this re semblance between two ancient nations, which are themselves, by , some authors, considered as hav ing the same origin, will yet remain a mystery, which the want of sufficient documents cannot permit us to fathom.
