THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Jan. 9. [NEW TiteEs.3 Tueiday, being Twelfth-day, was a holiday at Paris i . the Exchange there was closed ; no price Rentes, and of course no•expresses thence to uur own Stock Exchange. In consequence, Consols yesterday remained steady : their closing price 'was 88i. Spanish Bonds closed at 2414 ; cototnbian at 624-3; and Chilean 762-6. MeK ie:44 Mine Shares were done at 61 prem. and closed at Sf prem. A failure to some extent was yeSterday announced in the City ; and it took place under very aggravated circumstances. The de4ciene,i-es of the insolvent are reported to be extremely large ; and it is believed that he has 6'itiitted the coutilry with the fruits of his dis 110fiest speculation.

The Journal des Debdti , con= titioe.i . to hold the most pacific language,' and the rapid and unprecedented advance of the French. tutids shows that no doubt is entertained of its sincerity.•'" - Slf r e have seen during a nicinth," says that Journal, " both in Eng lish•and french Papers such absurd statements relatively to the political. situation of Europe and the plans and negociations of Cabinet's, that we have not thought it necessary - to-point out their contradictory and ridiculous na ture: Amongst these were the reported occupation of the Balearic Islands by Russia,and the prepara tiOnS for war of England. The Jobbers of the' Stock Exchange and the speculators in elections will prove equally mistaken in their calculations; never was Europe. more .pacific, or the internal and external tranquillity of States more surely established, than at the present moment" This alitision- to the-" external tranquillity of States" Fannot.be-misunderstood. It is clearly-meant as a fresh contradiction. of the rumoured intention of FraUce and her Allies to join Spain in an attack on: South America. , That a new light is broken in upon the Councils of European -Monarchs since the sentiments of England respecting the independence of the New World have been re echoed by the United States, becomes every day snore probable. Those who were deaf to the claims of justice, are disposed to pay more at tention to those of prudence, and to abstain from an'-etiterprize • which could never rP-establish despotism in America, and might shake its exist ence in Europe. [BRITISH PR ESS.I • T.he Moniteur of Tuesday, in its non-official part, states, under date from Vienna, the 25th of gecember, that a mutual understanding between Russia and the' Porte again prevails, effected through the Austrian Internuncio, who succeeded ln making the Reis Effendi most comfortable on 4fie subject of the Russian hordes stationed in Podolia Volhynia, and the neighbouring pro-1 vinces; and that a pert of these mercenaries who were cantoned in Bessarabia, the pro vinCe which adjoins Turkish Moldavi,), hay -srik been withdrawn. to more distant can e T lents from the urkish frontiers, the Divan, it adds,.became doubly satisfied. The result of stll.,Was,„ that through the disinterested negocia.- Cons, of ,Baron Otteafels, the Austrian Inter nuffoto, hermony was in pi.ospect again; and the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia, it was ex pected, would be evacuated by the Turkish bands. This consummation, however, we very udi.doubt : Turkey is now in anything but good temper with her Grecksubjects, and little inclin ed go make any concessions to Russia, whom she esteems the author of the revolt. In proportion Rs the designs of Austria herself are growing, Ifiongei 'on thest; provinces, this pdwei. is over rating her part of apparent disinterestedness, and affecting only to be anxious that her confederate (Russia) and Turkey should b e t erms o f amity. -The 'destiny of the latter power is, how. eFer, drawing fast to its close ; and we may now venture to assert that the independence of Greece is ultimately assured.

We believe that Russia will not make the at. 'tempt, because she dares not make it. She must reckon on laving her expedition captured, tier ports all over the world sealed up, her commerce ruined, her produce rotten, her nobi lity bankrupt, and her immense empire parlysed in the movements most essential to life. But the Journal des Debats furnishes an argument against attacking America by arms, which goes to prove that other prospects are entertained quite as ex travagant as any which it might have been the purpose of a Russian fleet and army to realize. — We are told that this military project presents the absurdity of rendering useless" the measure of pacification which will doubtless be attempted." What are they ? It may be guessed at least from the context. IMORNING HERALD.] A considerable decline took place in the Bri tish Funds yesterday. Consols for the Account, which opened at 881, having declined to 88} ; but before the close of the day the Market re vived, and Consols for Account were done at 884. A failure to a considerable extent was an nounced on the British Stock Exchange yesterday, and it is attended by some extraordinary circum stan&s. The defaulter, a Mr. C-, having made large purchases of Money Stock, took his Stock, paid for it by cheques on his bankers, and, on the cheques being presented, it was found there were no assets to meet them. Mr. C. hav ing absconded, it is supposed that he has sold the Stock he got by his fraudulent cheques, and walked off with the money in his pocket. We understand that he got Stock from one person alone to the amount of 4,000/., and of other per sons he borrowed Stork for a few days. If he has actually sold all the Stock he had got posses sion of, he must hare put many thousand pounds into his pocket. We understand that means have been resorttd to, to endeavour, if possible, to prevent his leaving the country. [MORNING crinoNicLE.] From the private advices we have received from Madrid, we understand that the Spanish Ministry and their Master are placed in so very awkward a situation that they can neither ad. vance nor recede a single step. The present men in power would, long ago; have given in their resignation in disgust, if. the Corps Diploma tique would have allowed them, for they find it utterly impossible to contend with the Church, the triumphant and prevailing party, at the present moment, in Spain. After the most unwearied exertions and repeated deli berations, they have not influence enough to carry through an amnesty-decree, to which they would not feel ashamed to affix their signatures, or that would not make them the l a ughing•stOck of all Europe. The Monks and Friars, the only men in whom the King really places Confidence, tell him that, if he excepts, and thereby grants pardon, to those who took any share in the Revolution of 1820, or subsequently upheld it, he will not only authorise simil ar attempts hereafter, but also render himself resp o nsible to his Holy Mother, the Church, for s uc h an ac t o f mistaken beneficence. On the other h an d, his Ministers tell him that they cannot obtain the loan of a ducat, if he does not acknowl e dge his old debts and offer some specific guarantee ; so that, between the pillar and the post, th e poor man literally does not know what to do. S e veral expedients likely to reconcile thes e clashing ex tremes have been thought of, y et none h av e been adopted. At one time it was attempted to prevail upon the King to annul his .Port Mary's Decree, and adopt a more conciliatory policy ; but the instant the Church wa s de clared to be in danger, the idea Was laid aside. —The Clerical party are compl: tely on the alert, and hang together. Not a soul enters the Palace without the circumstance being im mediately known to them, and they undermine every thing that is not in .their immediate views. The Loan question is one that gives them consi derable uneasiness, for the moment a guarantee is talked of, they take the alarm, as they consider it levelled at them. Casa.-Irtajo lately told the King, that it the Clergy were so much opposed to the re-establishment. of national credit and the consequent influx of funds, he had better apply to them for a patriotic loan, distributed through the medium of the- Bishops, according to the means of the respective convents, chap. ters, and ecclesiastical persons under them. .The proposal alone was denounced as a heinous sa. crilege, and the Minister forced to resume his old ground .and trust to Providence. After all ; it was thought Canon Suez would be. again re, stored to favour, and very soon resume his seat in the Cabinet. . LITERARY LETTER TO A SCHOOLMASTER.

We have receive d the Carthagena Gazette of the 25th Oct. which contains the following ac count of the entrance of BoravAo, into Lima : PERUVIAN REPUBLIC. DON JOSE BERNARDO TAGLE/PRESIDENT OF THE RE- PUBLIC OF PERU, &C. In the exercise of the power, I ordain as follows : " The vessel which conducts his Excellency the President of the Republic of Colombia, being in sight of Callao, he will soon arrive at this Capital, and it is necessary, therefore, tha t the public, whose idol is liberty, should prepare to receive' with the greatest demonstrations of joy, the Hero who has done so much for it, and whose presence must be productive of great good to the country. Therefore— " 1. All the Troops of Peru and the Allies shall form imme_ diately with their Bands in the road to Callao, near the Gate, to do the fitting honours to his Excellency, the Liberator of the Republic of Colombia. " 2. The inhabitants of all the streets of the Capital shall assemble immediately. 3. On the entrance of his Excellency all the bells shall ring, and there shall be a discharge of 22 guns in the Artillery Park, to be repeated at sunset ; and at seven of the night an illumination shall take place, with ringing of bells. " Those whose duty it is shall watch over the execution of this order. The Minister of State in the Department of Go vernment shall give an account of its fulfilment. " Given at Lima, the Ist Sept. 1823. " TAGLE. " By order of his Excellency, the Count of SAN-DONAS." ENTRANCE INTO LIMA or ins EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT LIBERATOR or COLOMBIA SIMON BOLIVAR. On Monday morning entered the Port of Callao, the Libe rator of Colombia, whose coming was so ardently desired by us, moved by our exigencies, at a time the most opportune for the critical circumstances in which we were placed. It is im-, possible to express the excess of joy which this arrival, as soon as it was known, caused in the capital. A thousand national colours were in an instant waving in the streets, and the uni versal applause, the public hopes and patriotism were expressed in a thousand manners. The Chief of the Republic, and the most distinguished officers flew to the port to meet him ; the civic bands, and the . regular troops lined the avenues, and the people, intoxicated with delight, flew from every quarter to gratify their desires with the sight of the hero, the most sin gular model of constancy, who has so long occupied Fame with his name, his misfortunes, and his victories. Thanks to Heaven, exclaimed some, in the midst of their enthusiasm, now uni formity and a correct opinion have established themselves among us; now he is arrived who will trample on the proud neck of that anarchy which threatened to devour us; his name alone is sufficient to make the seditious to tremble. Let the Spaniards come now, said othersi Bolivar is with us, and there is now nothing to fear ; he alone is worth more than an army.__ As greatin his misfortunes as in his triumphs, he learned, in the school of adversity; to propitiate fortune, and, as the reward of his constancy, victory now directs his steps. The pride.of the Peninsular Satraps will be humbled—the spirit of their troops will be depressed, the moment they hear that the Libe rator of Peru has reached this Capital, to sustain . our cause, and has promised not to sheathe the sword so long as a single tyrant remains in America. It is well known to his compa nions in arias in Boyaca and Carabobo how exact he is in keep ing his promises. " The impatience of the people increased every instant, and they could not be gratified till the third hour of the evening, when the suite began to be discovered at a distance.—There were then no limits to the patriotic phrenzy ; and amidst the discharge s of artillery, the ringing . of bells, and incessant shouts of vivas, he was conveyed in triumph, as it were, to the house destined for him. There he was received by a Commission of the Sovereign Congress, composed of six individuals from its bosom, who, in felicitating him•on the opportune arrival, congratulated also themselves and all th e Peruvian nation. He was afterwards accompanied to table by the President of our Republic, the Chiefs and Principal thorities, a nd there, amidst the general applause, nothing was heard but repeated rows for the eternal alliance of the four sections of the Continent, gratitude towards the valiant aux iliaries, admiration for the Hero of Colombia, love for our Chief, and execration for our Tyrants. Yes, now that the new Hercules has come to cut off the growing heads of the inf erna l . Hydra of the Despotism which has so long devastated this vast hemisphere, it will disappear for ever from among us. In the mean time, receive, generous Hero, these sincere demonstra tions as the first fruits of the gratitude of a people who admire, love, respect, and place all their hopes on you. Weighed down beneath the enormous load of all the Spanish force concentrated in its, bosom, it was the last to b rea k its chains, and extenuated now it scarcely resists the efforts of its despair and its fury. Be the Liberator of Peru as you were the Liberator of your beloved Colombia, and add this new praise to your glory, South America has also her Vashi Let the world s e e that ngton. The civic virtues which since the revolution of the Swisa Cantons, appear as if they had been buried with W illiant Tell in Europe, have, revived among us ; they first a ppeared in North America, and in you they have placed their thron e : in you who, glorious with the title of first Soldier of America, Were the defender of the laws, and are proud of being at th e same t i me t h e i r s l a ve / whilst your soul, alone equal to itself, is satisfied with deserv ing the honours which it refuses, and only'exacts as the reward of its labours, the liberty and glory of the nations." DON JOSE BERNARDO TAGLE, PA . .ESIDENT OF THE Er - PUBLIC , OF PERU , & c. " The Sovereign Congress has decreed as follows " The Constituent Congress ot . Peru, desirous of avoiding in time by all the means dictated by prudence; the terrible evils produced by civil discords, especially iwheri there are ex ternal enemies to combat, and having the highest confidence in the President Liberator of Colombia, Simon Bolivar, whose personal protection the Sovereign authority has solicited as die only means of consolidating our country' s liberties, : Particu larly since the last Spanish aggression, have decreed as fol lows - • . . • . 1.

This action was brought to recover the sum of 12,0001., alleged to be lent by the Hope insurance Company, of which the plaintiff is the chairman, to a gentleman concerned in the East India trade. It appeared, that while the defendant was absent from this country the sum in question was raised by Mrs. Millings and others, to whom he had given a power of attorney, on the faith of a mortgage , which he ultimately refused to execute. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE held that a power of attorney did not authorise an agent to, borrow money ; but the plaintiff relied on letters of the defendant to show that he had recognised the loan, and applied the proceeds to his own use. The defence, besides the denial of the recognition, was founded on the circumstance of the defendant havng part ners, who ought to have been joined in the action. It was, however, contended, that this loan was an individual transac tion, and also that the defence was precluded by an order of Ur. Justice Holroyd, made on the amendment of the pleadings. Payments, reducing the claim to 8,008 t., were also proved. The Jury, under the direction of the Loan CHIEF JUS. TICE, found a verdict for the plaintiff for 3,008/., subject to the opinion of the Court on the points of law relied on by the Counsel for the defendant. SOUTHWARK SESSIONS. Yesterday these Sessions commenced before the LORD MAYOR, the RECORDER, and Alder man J. J. SMITH. AN EXTRAORDINARY YOUNG THIEF.- Thomas Lunn y, a mere child, was indicted for stealing a waistcoat piece, the property of Thomas Bell, a tailor, of 99, Tooley.street, who stated, that his front window had been broken on the 19th of September, and the waistcoat piece stolen through it. The son of the prosecutor stated, that he heard a noise at the window, and saw the prisoner and another, drawing the article through a hole in the window.

Bove-STREET.—,SINGULAR ATTEMPT AT FRAUD.— John Williams, a, seafaring man in appearitnee, was charged with attempting to obtain, by certain false pretences, the sum of eleven shillings,. of Mr. Daoiel Jones, of Gibson -street, Lamheth, tailor, with intent to cheat and defraud hini thereof. It aPPeared that early yesterday morning tile prisoner went into Mr. Jones's shop And looked. nver . sortie. sailor's chitties, and told Mr. Jones that he was one ,of the crew who lately returned from the Northern Expedition, and had 279/. wages to receive that day at Somerset - House, but wanted some respectable. person -to go with.

BURGLARY AND ROBBERY. A few nights since the great cotton warehouse, No. 22, Bucklersbury, near Walbrook, was broken open by some persons unknown, and robbed of property to the value of from 3,0001. to 4,0001. The circumstances attendant on this affair, under its present complexion, are not a little remarkable, and have excited very general attention. About a month previous to the rob bery, a man who had been employed in the con cern as occasional porter or warehouseman, had been discharged for inebriety, neglect of hilli ness, and other improprieties of conduct; subse quent to the dismissal of this man, an anony mous letter was addressed to the proprietors,. obscurely hinting at some plan by which injury. was meditated, either against themselves per sonally, or against the establishment. From the unintelligible style of this letter, it was utterly impossible to draw any direct iufe rence as to its immediate import, or to form an idea what might be the plan which the writer hinted at in so loose a manner. A threat.' ened injury of some sort was plainly held out ; yet it would seem, from the manner in which the intelligence was worded, that it was given rather in the way of a friendly monition of impending danger, than as an idle or mischievous freak but still the anonymous correspondent did not think proper to point at the precise attack in tended ; he did not state either time, place, or manner, nor yet did he venture to afford the threatened victims of this intended mischief any mode of escape, or any further information which. might enable them to meet and frustrate the plot formed against them. The communication was, therefore, thrown aside as unworthy of no tice, and forgotten. Some days previous to the robbery, there had been a large arrival of British' and foreign manufactured goods, which were de livered in at the warehouse at Bucklersbury, which completed the stock to its usually extensive complement. On the Saturday night subsequent to Christmas, all the doors and other entrances were secured in the customary manner, wad the entire place and the property therein were left in a state of apparently perfect safety; but on the Monday following three of the doors ~ v6te found open, and an immense quantity of goods - , which formed a part of the recent arrival, was missing. The magnitude of the rob bery induces us to notice the items particularly, as it will afford a more correct idea of the bulk•of the plunder :-1,340 bandeaus and turnovers; 280 silk and cotton shawls and scarfs ; 43 pieces printed calico; 102 pieces book and mull mus. lin ; 30 pieces jaconet muslin ; 50 pieces imita, tion India muslin (these were packed in a large tin case, similar to an Indian cotton bale); 24 flounced robes, various patterns. How it could be practicable to carry off such an immense quan tity of goods, of rather a bulky description, dur ing the night, and in a populous neighbourhood, without the cogniaanceand concurrence of the sur rounding watchmen, we are utterly at a loss to gine. The only light that has been thrown on this. strange affair, as yet, is by the information of a watchman, who states that on the Sunday morning, when the robbery is supposed to have taken place. between the hours of 1`.2 and 1 o'clock, he saw a hackney-coach standing at the corner of Buck . - lersbury, nearest to Walbrook ; the coachman and the Walbrook watchman were then in con versation, and ultimately went off to drink at an adjoining public-house, in the company of a woman who treated them. The property was missed on the following morning; and . it is theref ore assume d, t h at t h e watc h man was lured from his beat by this stratagem While the goods were being removed to the coach. After a lapse of nine days, the proprietors come forward with a public announcement of the robbery, and offer a reward (501.) for the appreheiiiion and conviction of the parties concerned. It would seem from the wording of their bill, that they had studiously avoided a disclosure of their own names, no mention being made either of the per sons robbed, or of the per'sian by whain this' ra ward will be paid ; but a reference is made merely "at the premises." Those gentlemen have, we doubt not, a very sufficient reason for this air of secrecy, though we cannot pretend to divine it. fn regard to the anonymous letter, our information is merely oral ; we do not there fore pledge ourselves for its accuracy. The rest it in the authority of the printed bills placarded in the public offices. The whole affair is as yet involved in much mystery. A native of Morocco, who accompanied Mr LANCASTER to Ireland, found the Irish language perfectly intelligible, and was himself ithderstood by the people. The same person could converse with the Welsh, but.not so readily. Last night, as one of the Blackwall stage coaches was returning to town, at the Corn mercial-road, near the turnpike -gate, it receiv e d a sudden jerk, by which one of the► outside pas, stingers (apparently a sailor, who seemed .to be a little intoxicated) was throw❑ frOM his seat into the street, and the wheel passing over his foot, so shattered it, that after being conveyed to the London Hospital, immediate amputation became necessary.
