THE LONDOT JOWL S. DAILY XxtractSfrom the Morning Papers, Nov.ll, 182 b. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.) The Etoile of Tuesday gives dippinted contra diction to a paragraph in another Journal, stat ing that an armament of a most important des cription was in a state of preparation in the French ports; that its destination was said to be the Pacific Ocean, and that the command was to he given to Admiral Duperre, with unlimited powers. In all these assertions, the Etoile de clares that there is not a word of truth ; whilst it rather equivocally adds, " that if there are any preparation in our ports, they can ►ly be for the ordinary stations, which are re about this time ; and if Admiral Duper com mand, it is doubtless for one of tl ratime stations." From this equivocating , one would be inclined to suppose that there is more truth in the original statement than the Etoile may think it discreet to admit ; and we should not be in the least surpized were we to learn that France was determined to assimilate her policy to ours, in her relations to the New States' of America. In this case, she might think that a strong naval force would give additional lustre as well as increased effect to her diplomatic proceedings ; and after the change that has taken place in the Spanish Government, hostile as it is to her in terests, she must feel perfectly indifferent whe ther her conduct be agreeable or not to the views of that Power. In the meikti time, the change that has taken place in th Spanish Cabinet is as complete as possible ; or, in other words, as incompatible with the influence hitherto exercised by the French as the most hot-headed Servile could wish. The whole of that faction are said to have been ever since drunk with joy,which they manifest by committing the most outrageous ex cesses ; and as the Spanish Government seems determined on violating all obligation towards its own subjects, or towards foreign States, it would be too much to suppose that the latter would re gulate their most important interests, according to its whims or supposed convenience. [Bums!' ritEss.] We have received Papers from Buenos Ayres to the 7th of September inclusive. They reached us at so late an hour last night, and our columns are already so full, that we cannot give any ex tracts to-day. On the 26th of August the House of Representatives of the Banda Oriental assem bled at Florida, issued a declaration of independ ence, in which they expressly renounce all obe dience to the King of Portugal, the Emperor of Brazil, or any other person or State in the world. The declaration is signed by all the Deputies. By another legislative act, the Provincia Oriental is declared to belong, by the most sacred ties, to the united provinces of the Rio de la Plata : Deputies were immediately to besent to the national congres s . The Patriots had been successful in every encoun ter with the Brazilian troops : and there seemed to be no doubt at Buenos Ayres that they would be fully competent to maintain their independence. What effect the union of the Banda Oriental with the States of La Plata mny have on the Brazilian Government, it remains for time to develope.— We- hope, however, that Don Pedro has been persuaded to relinquish his pretensions, which are not better founded with respect to Monte Video than they were with respect to Chu quisaca. The Congress of Buenos Ayres has authorized the National Government to send Deputies to the Assembly of States at Panama. The treaty with Great Britain was ratified ou the 30th of August. [THE TIMES.] The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday ar rived yesterday. Those of Tuesday are still due. The Journal des DObats of Monday makes some statements respecting the late negociation of the Haytian loan, which it behoves the Com missioners and Contractors to disprove if untrue. It states that the public biddings were, from the beginning, intended to be a mere nullity ; that the Commissioners had previously entered into an agreement with the present Contractors to give them the contract at 25 centimes above the highest public bidding ; that a treaty was negociated be tween these parties for that object, through the medium of a broker, on the 29th of October; that the Commissioners fixed their minimum at the extravagant rate of 90, that they might always be above the highest public offer, and thus be en abled to - fulfil the stipulations of their private conventions ; that the intended bidders heard of this manoeuvre, and had resolved to defeat it by staying away ; that they were only induced at last to attend and present their sealed tenders, en the positive assurance that the private treaty had been cancelled in favour of frank conduct and fair dealing ; and that having come forward fairly and honourably, they were finally defeated by the faithless stratagem which they had at first denounced, and which they were afterwards as. sured had been abandoned. Having no informa tion on the subject but what is communicated by the paper in question, we cannot decide on the truth or falsehood of the above assertion ; though we must say, that by the acceptance of 80 from private contractors, when they had publicly fixed their minimum at 90, the Commissioners have exposed themselves to a just suspicion of trick and manoeuvre. Nothing,it must be owned, could be more dishonourable than the conduct above described, if the facts be correctly stated. When a prospectus for a loan was issued, and public biddings announced, capitalists had a right to, expect that as the competition was free and open, adjudication would be fair. To have a Secret engagement with parties out of doors, and to employ the tenders of the public bidders only as a means of ascertaining the rate at which they might adjudge the contract to their private friends, was an unworthy farce on a solemn proceeding, and an insult on the respectable parties who were unconsciously made actors in the scene. [MORNING POST.j At a late hour last night we received, by Ex press, French Papers to the 9th inst., and the Etoile of Wednesday. Their contents possess but little importance. Communications from Constantinople, received through Germany, state that the Russian Charge d'Affaires, M. Alin ziacki, had had much difficulty to calm the anxiety and alarm of the Reis Effendi and of the Members of the Divan, when they learned by dispatches from the Hospodar of Moldavia that the Empere Alexander was on his way to visit the coasts of the Black Sea, and afterwards to review the Russian army of the South, as well as the division in Bessarabia under Gen. Sabanieff. This feeling of alarm was what we anticipated, and what the Emperor of Russia himself must have well known would result from his visit to the provinces bordering upon the Turkish dominions. As he knew the sure effect of the step which he was taking, it is not going too far to suppose that he wished that effect to be pro duced.—lt is the conviction of this which in creases the apprehensions and displeasure of the Divan, and creates a degree of hesitation in the Councils of the Porte which cannot fail to prove highly advantageous to the Greeks, at a moment when decision and unity of action on the part of their enemies might be fatal to their cause.— The other contents of these Papers are totally without interest. The ltioniteur publishes three Royal Ordinances, appointing the Marquis of liedouvilie, Count de Noe, and Mr. Frenilly, Members of the Commission for the liquidation of the Indemnity, in the room of other Members, who withdrew under the plea of illness. The Etoile contradicts the assertions of the Quoti dienne, that a fleet was arming at Brest, and that two Regiments were raising for the service of the French Colonies. [NEW TIMES.] We have received the French Papers of the Bth, the contents of which are generally unin-' teresting. Their foreign intelligence is chiefly composed of tales of the Greek contest (whicl►, whether they come from the partizans of the Greeks or Turks, are equally devoid of authen ticity), and shallow speculations on the state of Spain and her Colonies. In a late Etoile an ar ticle appeared which bears marks of having been transmitted from Ireland. It was a long lamenta tion over the oppression practised by England against that country, told with a minuteness of de tail which, to those who are aware of the great ignorance on all foreign subjects that charac terises the French Papers, sufficiently betrayed its design. The Irish Catholic Association has, in gratitude for inserting their article, subscribed for the Etoile. We may at once plainly tell both parties—the Irish demagogues, that this open courting of foreign interference will not do them good—and the French Royalists, that it is neither wise nor honourable in them to insult a power to whose aid all the Bourbon family owe restoration to their Thrones. The writer in the Etoile may depend upon it, that his describing the Church of England us " the fantastic Christianity of a lustful and atrocious tyrant," and hinting at the close orginization of the Roman Catholics, and their certainty of support frpm abroad, will be of no effect. These things will but retard the success of Roman Catholic Eman cipation, which will be granted when the people of England think it just that it should be granted, and not an hour before. In a Brussels Paper it is stated that a change is to take place in the French Ministry, of whom M. de Villelle is alone to be retained. We must look for better authority before we belive this. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] ft has been said that the cause of Catholic Emancipation has Web/ retrograded in England. This we do not believe. The grounds on which it received the support of the most eminent Bankers and Merchants of the Metropolis, of the English Bar, of the individuals most distinguish. ed for their talents and independence throughout the country a few short months ago, remain . in full force now, and it would be libelling the nation to say that a change in the in terim had taken place without any intelligible cause. The opposition to the Catholics was the work of the Church, and the High Aristocracy interested in the distribution of its wealth, who knew, that though all the well-informed part of the community had been gained over to emanci pation, no small portion of the lower orders„and the ill-educated of the middle classes, still-re tained the notions which were entertained respecting the Catholics in former ages,, and that by a little management these preju dices could be brought into action. If the Cabinet were to determine in favour, of Emancipation, the opposition to it would not be deserving of a moment's regard ; but as long as it is not made a Cabinet measure, and the Church is allowed to array itself against the Catholics, many of the advocates of emancipa tion, who represent open boroughs, are subjected to considerable inconvenience from a part of their constituents, who, though the least intelligent, are not the least pertinacious. The cause of the Catholics is one which will always receive the support of the best-infarmed and most respectable part of the people of England. But it is a question which every person will support by words without making any great exertion in its favour. If the Silk manufaCture, or Iron manufacture, or Woolen manufacture, or Agriculture, be threatened by any measure, the respective classes will stir heaven and earth for that sacred cause which affects the pocket. But the fate of six millions of Irish Catholks is, in England, every body's question and nobody's question. It is only in a financial point of view that it could be deeply felt in this country-. A new tax to furnish means for reducing our dearifish brethren to order would be felt a thousand times more ou this side of the water than all the argu ments which Irish orators could possibly urge. The people of England are cold and phlegmatic ; their nerves are not easily shaken ; and so long as they retain a persuasion that the Irish Catho lics can only complain of oppression, they will not be much moved by all the vehemence of ora tory. The Government, on the other hand, see nothing in the present state of Europe which threatens to disturb its tranquillity, and as they know that, except in the case of war with some powerful enemy, they have nothing to dread from the Catholics; they, no doubt, imagine that they may safely postpone Emancipation till that time. [MORNING HERALD.] The system of local taxation, which has long existed in this country, has of late years grown up, especially in the metropolis, to an extent which cannot much longer be endured. At a pe riod of profound peace, when the Government has been enabled, year after year, to reduce the public taxes, those precious compounds of job bing imbecility, yclept Select Vestries, have chosen, in the plenitude of power which they ought not to possess, to increase in almost every district every kind of rate ; so that what the in habitants are relieved from in the House and other public Taxes, they find taken from them, and that even in a higher ratio in some cases, in the shape of Poor, Watch, Church, and other pa rochial burdens. We saw a few days since a very sensible letter in one of the Morning Papers upon this subject, from an inhabitant of one of the parishes where this kind of petty legislature seems to revel in a degree of power more extra vagant and offensive than any other, and should be glad to see appeals from those who feel and witness the evil more frequent than they are.— We have often recommended, and we again most earnestly do so, that Parliament would call for a return of the nature and amount of the sums thus raised upon the inhabitants of the metropolis by these most arbitrary, yet insignificant authorities. We will not venture to guess at the amount, though we have some data before us which might enable us to do so ; but we are quite sure that it would surprise the Chancellor of the Exche quer to see with what ease and to what an ex tent this system of local taxation is carried.— In fact, it seems as if it would know no bounds while it is permitted to exist, as it now does, un checked. Palaces are built for these petty Kings more sumptuous that our Courts of Justice, or even than the House of Commons itself ; and the inhabitants in many parishes, while they see new squares and streets continually erecting, and of course brought into charge, and are therefore naturally entitled to expect that as the number of prayers increase, the rate of payment should diminsh, find the very reverse to be the case; and not only at the rates upon them increased, but scarcely a day passes when sums of money by way of loans are not advertised for, to meet the demands which even these enormous rates will not discharge. So that the system of borrowing, by which the country at large has been saddled with a never-ending burden of debt, is in troduced into parishes, with a view, as is imagined, that while the debt remains, the bodies which have incurred it, and the machinery of patronage which it en genders are surf. to last. And while all this is going on, we hear of the poor in some of the workhouses being worse fed than.felons i❑ gaols; we see the streets ill paved, the mud and filth allowed to accumulate in them ; the watchmen old, decrepit, and corrupt ; and .churches built with the money of people, most of whom can find no accommodation in them, and those who can, being first compel led to pay high rents for sittings in the very place which their own money has paid for erect , ing. We do not at all exaggerate in this short summary of parochial abuses ; nor do we ex. aggerate when we say, that the system is one wholly at variance with the spirit of our free Constitution, and calls either for complete re form or entire suppression. Between four and five o'clock on the morning of Sunday last, a fire broke out in a house in Gal lowgate, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, occupied by a Mr. CHARLTON, a tallow-chandler. The flames for some time spread in an alarming manner, till their progress was arrested by the engines from the Fire Offices. WILLIAM WOODS, Esq., one of the Directors of and Secretary to the New castle Insurance Company, was promptly on the spot; and by his exertions and skill continued most effectually to subdue the raging element. It is deeply to be regretted, however, that be sides the injury sustained by Mr. CHARLTON, whose loss in tallow, &c. is full 300/., two poor men have been deprived of their all, by the burning of the adjoining dwelling-house, and a stable which contained two horses, both of which perished. The buildings, the property of a prudent man, were insured, but nothing more. Friday evening, at Wells, a lad having filled his pockets with squibs, &c. was amusing himself with them, when some person set fire to a pro jecting rocket, which communicating with the rest, the boy was so dreadfully burnt that he died On Monday. MARRIED. On the 10th inst., at St. George's, Hanover-square, by the Rev. George Burrard, A.M., Chaplain in Ordinary to his Ma jesty, the Rev.

On Monday last, in. the 81st year of his age, Mr. Joseph Thornhill, of Fish-street-hill, where he had resided nearly half a century. On the Bth instant, at his apartments in Southampton-street, Covent-garden, Mr. Rynd, formerly many years a resident at the Isle of St. Vincent. He was a native of Ireland, and never more pleased than when called Pat lird. On the opening of the Adelphi Theatre this season, in'going to the boxes, Mr. R. was robbed or his gold watch and seals, valued at 70 guineas ; in speaking of which, he good humouredly observed, It will be some time ere I give 70 guineas again for a watch for the use of otherpeople."—How true he spoke ! At Seaham Hall, in the County ofPurham, on the 4th inst., Thomas Wilkinson_, Esq. at an advanced. age. Ile was sup posed to be one of the greatest monied men in that county. At the early part of his life, he was an ensign in the British Army, and fought at the battle of Bunker's 11M, June 17, 1775. MRS. BELZONI. The efforts which have been made to engage the public sympathy in favour of this deserving and afflicted woman, are beginning to produce such effects as might be hoped for, not only from the compassionate character of our countrymen, but from the sense of national honour and justice by which they have ever been distinguished. It is but fair to mention at the same time, that of those appeals to English feeling, the person on whose behalf they were made was wholly and absolutely unconscious. She had importuned no friend for relief—she had reproached neither in dividuals nor public bodies with neglect. In silent resignation she bore her complicated mi series, doubled as they were by the heavy por tion of them which fell upon the aged mother and destitute family of Belzoni. The friends who, first interested themselves in this distressing case have since been of opinion that a simple statement of the facts which constitute its leading features and merits might be brought with advantage un der the public eye, and would certainly not weaken any favourable impressions which already existed towards the unobtrusive sufferer.—Bel zoni was, as to all the objects of vulgar selfish ness, the most disinterested of men. He was co vetous of fame, and succeeded in rendering an humble name illustrious; but his love of inde pendence and contempt for money bore, likewise, their natural fruits, for he lived unpatronized, and died, in his own words," a beggar." If this, however, was the state in which he died, and the forlorn condition to which he bequeathed his widow, the cause was his devotion to great and noble purposes, in the late prosecution of which he consumed, together with life itself, that little property which had been the indirect harvest of his earlier and unrivalled researches. The course of the Niger, which, like the ❑orth west passage, seems a philosopher's stone to the 19th century, was the grand aim of Belzoni's expedi tion to the interior of Africa in 1523. We ex aggerate nothing when we assert that he might have proceeded in respectable company, with of ficial authority, and with Government resources at his back; but fetters upon his judgment, and partnership in his renown, were more terrible than any risk or privation . from which they might have exempted him. He resolved, therefore, to sacrifice his private means, to shape his own course to stand or fall by his individual spirit and saga city ; and telling the world " alone I did it," dedicate to England the results and records of his toil, but impose upon her, also, the liberal duty of rewarding it. Enterprises of discovery into the heart of Africa have been repeated, And multiplied under the British Government. To depreciate the object contemplated by these mis sions, would be to impugn the wisdom of His Ma jesty's advisers. If, therefore, Belzoni had suc ceeded by his own resources, intellectual and pecuniary, in accomplishing that which was a darling desideratum with the State itself, the good taste and dignity of the King's Government, to say nothing of the natiob at large—could not have passed over his demands upon them. Belzo ni, after months of laborious and expensive prepa rations, bent his steps by Tangier to Morocco : there,by dint of presents with which he loaded the Sovereign and courtiers of that unchristian mo narchy, he procured the necessary official orders and permissions for facilitating his progress across the immense Desert of Zabara in company with the Moorish caravan, to Timbuctoo, the city to which no European has yet been able to find access. While waiting the departure of the caravan, Belzoni was suddenly—from no offence on his part, but from jealousies respecting the de sign of his journey, (how or by whom instilled into the Court of Fez, it is not our present busi ness to inquire,)—deprived of all his hard-earned hopes ; - the promised facilities for his expedition were withdrawn from him, and the door of dis covery closed against him where it had . seemed most inviting. With resources thuscruelly wasted, expectation mortified, and -health impaired, but nothing daunted in his purpose, this unconquer able traveller retraced his route to Tangier. De termining to get rid of the desert, and attempt Timbuctoo from the south-west quarter, he em barked for Madeira, then for Teneriffe ; and thence, by the aid of some gallant officers of the British navy, was conveyed to Benin ; where, after many anxious preparatory efforts, he suc ceeded in obtaining the sanction and kind offices of the Government, but was seized at Gata with the fatal illness which destroyed him. The state of mind in which this benevolent and grateful, as well as public-spirited and useful being met the last moment by which all human pretensions are brought to a test as infallible as it is awful, will appear from the letter which he wrote while conscious .that he was dying, and which is annexed in a note to the present article —a more 'pathetic or affecting document we have never read. The wife whom he was then about to leave a widow, had been his companion to Fez, and back to Tangier. Her whole life was an in cessant exertion in his service. She everywhere roused his friends to activity. She solicited, raised, and transmitted funds for his support : one sum of 200/., which Mrs. Belzoni procured from a liberal friend, and got forwarded to the Moor ish Minister at Fez, to be by him remitted to Timbuctoo for Belzoni, has recently been made the subject of a communication with the Trea sury, which, being misunderstood, and to Mrs. Belzoni's prejudice, we think it but just to describe more correctly. The letter of the Moor Ben Gelool (for which see note 13) acknowledges the. receipt of the above sum, and his responsi bilitY for its value. In reply to a memorial , which was some months ago submitted to the Treasury, on behalf of Mrs. Belzoni, it has been lately notified that the sum of 2001. should be at her disposal, provided she would give up to Go vernment her right to the same sum in the hands of the Minister of Morocco. Mrs. Belzoni has accepted the offer from the Treasury, and at once paid over the 2001. to the friend who for merly advanced it for her husband. This, there fore, an honest and honourable transaction so far concerns Mrs. Belzoni, whose first anxiety is to pay her husbands debts, has not been a gift, nor any thing like it, on the part of the Lords of the Treasury. They are sensible of the conve nience, and justly so, of having money at comma ° f for future enterprises of research within reach 8 Timbuctoo; and they deposit an equivalent ha re t with the person who has already lodged IP and who leaves it for their benefit in Af r f ic .,;, This isa mercantile transaction, not a donat i o n; and Ministers can be in no doubt as to the sa lli being tang ible when required, for we h a ve O r ' selves had before us a letter from Morocc o, el t ; pressing wonder that th e mone y h a d not yet be lt called for.
