THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts front the 31([7•7 - iirs - i - Papers, Nov. 9, 152.5. [SEW T[M Es.] We.said last Friday, that the Letter of Mr. Canning to M. de Los Rios was a masterpiece of argument; but we could only speak. of. its .sub stance—the form, mutilated and barbarised, by a dpu.ble translation, and that from no very expert pens, presented nothing of that combination of energy, terseness, • and elegance, for which the State Papers of Mr. Canning have been always remarkable. We have, therefore, made it our business to procUre, anti we have the satisfaction of exclusively laying before our readers, an authentic copy of this memorable doctitnent, as it was transmitted to the Spanish Ambassador.— (See another column of stantly "be seeti;'on a conipariscin'with•the former pLiblication, that the genuine letter was not:only far more classiCal in its sty le, but that the reason ing was rendered more cogent and conclusive by the proper 'choice and connection of the -terms applied. Thus, in the very first paragraph, we 'find Om translated copy concluding almett, uniti teiligibly—" On that decisive event, as it ap pears to be, the undersigned can only say that it will be a great satisfatition *to the British Government that it takes place 'before , ' its intentions are announced` respecting the other countries of South America." Now the-" de cisive event " here spoken of is the issue of the events referred 'to by M. Zea some months before, whiCh issue ,had taken place-when Mr. Canning wrote; ;and the issue was the very con trary of ia expected by M. Zea. Mr. Canning, therefore, thus expressed himself--" Of that de cisive issue,-as it appears to be, the undersigned' is directed to say that it is a great' satisfaction to the 'British Government. that it had actually taken place before the intentions of the British Government towards Spanish America were an nounced." We cannot give a stronger proof of the necessity there was for laying this important letter before the public in its true shape than is afforded by the comparison of these two passages ; in the one the British Minister is made to talk vaguely about some future event ; in the latter he-speaks' with 'certainty and confidence, refer ring to an event already past, and which could deitlier be denied nor evaded by the party whom he was addresSing.—lndeed t4tis is the character of the Note throughout. It presses fact upon fact, and authority upon authority. It first proves distinctly that in treating with the New South American States, Great Britain had viiilated no positive obligation of any Treaty which hound her to Spain ; and then it demenstrates, with equal clearness, that the general principles of ternational law did not prohibit the course which his Majestyldeliberately pursued.' But we are detainining our Readers from an examination of the Note itself, a single perusal, of which will show more forcibly titan any words of ours can do, that it was truly a Response sans- replique. [THE TIMES.] A Paris correspondent assures us e on what he considers good authority, that the health of the young Duke of Bordeaux has much deteriorated of late--that he suffers from a scrofulous distem per—that one of his legs is in a state which causes great anxiety, and that his immediate relatives do not now rely upon him with so much confi dence as formerly to continue their august dynasty. Thus the French have cause to appre hend that the " child of miracles," as M. de Chateaubriand called him, may not live to - pro.' long the race of St. Louis,and that his prerriatbre decay may spoil many a bright anticipation, or falsify many a fine prophecy. But the most cbrious part of our correspondent's letter remains behind. The whole family of the Bourbons; as Might be expected, are thrown into alarm,' and the old King, like a man in panic, is said to have adopted the desperate resolution of (guess reader)—of --marrying again, and giving France another chance forgoodgovernrnent. The illustrious lady who is destined for the honour of his hand is stated to be a Princess of Saxony, and ividqw of the Grand Duke of Tuscany., Though both in the same state with respect to widowhood, the age of the'Princess is . Very different from that of her intended husband . ; he being, we believe; about and he just 65' on Thursday last. The match would thus resemble, in point of the ages of the Parties, and - their previous deprivation of Connubial bliss, the viceregal nuptials which-have lately spread so much •hilarity over the sister island . ; the Viceroy having the advantage of the King, or the King of the. Viceroy, by only two years.—We alluded above to Thursday )ast— the birth-day of Charles X. On that day' many flattering addresses were delivered, and of course many sage answers returned. On former occa . sions " the child of miracles" was always men 'tioned or alluded to in this bandying of birth day compliments with the Throne, but on Thurs day„ last he was as much, forgotten as the little King of Rorne. Whenc,e can .this for getfulness have proceeded, bfit from the pro. spect of another " child of miracles?" Nay, is not this theory confirmed by the 'following re markable expressions in one of the Icing's an sweis---expressions wirich the courtiers are said to haveapplied to his intended matrimonial en terprises I must not only occupy myself " with the present happioess,or my people, hut " prepare their future felicity. This " future " felicity" was snpposed to 'be a Charles XI. We thus giVe the report current in the political circles of Paris;and some of the grounds on vvhich it rests, without pledging ourselves for its truth.

Zea 'Bermudez, and the appointinent of -the Duke of infantado to the functions of First Minister, and Secretary of State, are officially' announced. The notice is so dry and concise, that it is impossible 'to found upon it any conjecture respecting the fate of the discarded Minister ; but that it will not be an exception t o the general rule, which his Catholie Majesty haS followed. in matters of this kind, it is only reasonable to . Presumne.. As. Fen-dinand has at last attained his beau ideal of Go -I..erntnent, and acquired - a person after his - own heart for his Chief Minister, we may.expect ex traordinary results, such is no..dnubt will throw all the former passages - of •his reign - completely into the shade. It be a• perfect time of Jubilee for the Monks, acid it wilt'be no 'longer reckoned a trime . in a loyal and pious Spaniard to cut the throats of the Negroes, and commit a whole Lodge of Freemasons to• the flames.— •Energy,of purpose, and firmness of execution; in hunting down the Constitutionalists, still be the characteristics of the new (Adel' of things ; and the lives of that ".accursed sect" will be held more vile than those of the wild boars that are kept in the preserves of his Most Sacred Ma jesty. This is nothing but just and reasonable, for the latter conduce to the amusement of that amiable and considerate Monarch ; whilst the former nerve to• annoy him bg their visionary schemes and senseless jargon, about public good' and national regeneration. • However, the new Ministry purpose .giving other proofs of their energy; arid though a forced loan is not men tioned, it is probable that it will be one of the first expedients resorted to, as this is a mode of replenishing , the treasury particularly congenial to the fiscal notions of Ferdinand, besides the pretext it will give him of 'punishing the mer • chants, who, almost to .a matt, have the abominable taint of liberalism. But as the system would be - imperfect, unless the same energy, by which the management of domestic affairs is to be dis tinguiShed, were to - be extended to the foreign policy of the kingdom, a formal and peremptory demand, it is confidently stated, ,has . .been made to the French Government to withdraw its troops immediately, and to abstain.from all ftirther in terference in Spanish 'concerns. The Moniteur, it is true, takes no notice of this application; but this omission does not in the slightest degree invalidate the account, particularly as it contains a paragraph, which indirectly confirms it. It announces, for example, that the camp near Per, pignan was raised - on the 22d ult., and that time troops who occupied -it had marched into that town, where a - part of them were provisionally quartered in the Citadel, and the rest billeted on the inhabitants: EMO II NINd POST.) French Papers to the 7th inst., and the Etoile of Monday, reached us last night by Express: They ,are chiefly filled with accounts of the re joicings which took place on the King's Saint's day (which is generally kept in France instead of the birfhday), and of the speeches addressed to his Majesty by various public Bodies on that occasion. T hough the Hay tian Commissioners have succeeded in obtaining better terms for their Loan than any of the white States of South Ame rica, yet as even those terms did not• supply ~them with more than twenty-four out of the thirty mil lions of francs which were wanted ; they have taken upon themselves to pay ..the first six millions down at once, and to let the Company clear the rest by monthly instalments. A letter from Rio de Janeiro given in . One of these l'apers, states the important fact that the Emperor Don Pedro had written to. Bolivar that he would send a Deputy to the Congress at Panama to represent the empire and defend the interests of Brazil.—. l Mr. Stratford Canning had passed through Lau saline on the 31st. ult. on his **ay to Italy and Naples, where he was ,to embark for Constanti nople. A work has lately appeared in France, ‘‘4o J . the Greeks and their present Situation," in which it is asserted that the last visit of Prince Metternich in Paris was occa sioned by the report that the King • of France and the Duke of Angouleme began to feel some compassion towards the Greeks. The Ails= trian Diplomatist, it is added, came purposely" to implorethem to delay all the interference for an other year, on the assurance that . the campaign then ping to begin would be the last, a decisive blow being about to be struck." That deciSive blow was the expedition of Ibrahim, which was. expected to annihilate the Greeks, but which has only served to try their constancy, to exercise their valour, and to terminate their dissensions. [Bitl-Tlll PRESS.] lye have 'cicelved letters from Rio de Janeiro, dated the 16th of September. Our correspon dent states, that the .Brazilians are very well sa tisfied with the result Of Sir Charles Stuart's di plomatic labours. The merchants confidently look forward to a general improvement in all branches ' of commerce. It was expected that the treaty between England and Brazil would have been made public on the 15th, but it had net appeared on that day. The.only difference, according lo repot, between 'this and the. former arrangement with ,the Portuguese ,Govern ment, relates to the abolition of the Slave Trade, which the Emperor of Brazil; it is un derstood, binds himself to reduce gradnally.every Year until it be completely suppressed. The term fixed for the entire abolition is ten years. When the treaty with Poittigal was published, on the 7th of September, the rejoicings were universal and enthusiastic. There was one of.the grandest Court days yet known at Rio de Janeiro. The most distinguished honours were rendered to Sir Charles Stuart. He was the first presented to the Emperor, whO received him in the most„cor dial manner. The splendour of his Excellency's appearance excited general' admiratiOn. [MORNING CHRONICLE] The . French claims to excellence in war lave occasionally been questioned ; as cooks they are pot even nniversallrallowed a superiority over their neighbours ; but, as dancers, they are by pniversal confession unrivalled in either hemis phere. Our' readers may well judge of our asto nishment when, on opening the Constitutionnet of Sunday, we found a paragraph, which our readers yvill see in another column, stating that the Clergy of France have determined to interdict the peasantry' from dancing. Interdict the French frOni dancing! What, in .God's name, do the Priests intend to do with them? Dancing is as much associated with all - our ideas of a French man as tnrtle with our ideas of an Alderman:— Who'could put such a thought into the heads of the P4iests ?—Make Methodists of the French ! treach them to walk as if they were going to the gallows, and to draw back with pious horror, from the spectacle of a fiddle! Surely, surely, the experience of the lait thirty years, one should think, might have taught the Priests" that the energy ora Frenchman cannot possibly find a safer outlet than from • his heels. Why the eleciiical conductor is not a hap Pier inven tion for drawing down the ,thunder than danC ing is for drawing the Frenchman's energy downwards. If the heels are 'placed under restraint, the hands may be the more active, And the Priests cannot surely have'forgotten that they have suffered more from the hands than the heels of their countrymen. We imagined that a sour envy of the happiness and enjoyment of others,was peculiar to England. But it seems that "111-nature, like every thing else, is catching. Mr. fluskiSson has in vain tried to establish an interchange. of Manufactures. between the two countries, the exchange of bad feelings has esta blished itself with the utmost ease. A cracked fiddle animating two or three pair of heels will now, 'it seems, be as great an abomination in the eyes of 'God and man in France as in England. It will tin longer be. ". . . . gay land of social ease, ' Pleased with thyself, whom all the world can please." Ode thing, however, consoles us in this—As the English.liate 'the French cordially, it is not im probable that when we see sourness taken up by them, we may leave it off ourselves. Who knows but fifty years hence, the " surly Frenchman" and.' . ‘ bland and courteous Englishman" will be the fanguage , of the world ! [MORNING HERALD.] THE BREWERS, with an eagerness of avarice which probably, in the end, will help to defeat-it self, have thought proper to issue a notification to the Publicans that they have raised the price of beer five shillings per barrel ; and the publicans, nothing loath, have immediately doubled the rise upon the consumer, to say nothing of the profit which accrues upon adulterating a higher priced article. Of course it would be beneath the dignity of these lords of the mash-tub to as sign -any reason for this measure. On this occa sion 14y are wise in not attempting to do so ; for we wllit venture to say that a more unreasonable, unjust, and uncalled-for step was never taken by any body of men. But admitting it to be as just as it is. unjust, as fair and righteous as it is unfair anal iniquitous, does it not speak 46 trumpet tongued" for the necessity of breaking down this hydra of monopoly, and of putting an end to a power of taxation among individuals, utterly un known to the'Legislature itself ? for no Minister ever yet dreamt of sending out his mandate for increasing a tax, or of even calling upon Parlia ta do so, without first producing the public accounts, and showing some cause for it. Yet here are those persons, whose overgrown wealth makes them absolutely dangerous to the State, sparing one day from their fox hounds, to as semble in conclave, and, with a stroke of their_ magic pen, levying a contribution- of nearly a million per annum upon the community. We shall, perhaps, be told that barley has risen in price, and- of the crops having failed. These people know very well, though great partof the public may not, that after such a harvest as - the last, the increase upon the barley in the couch, during the process of malting, is such as more than to meet any increase which has taken place in the price of the raw material ; and as for the hops, they know, too, that not one handful of the new crop has been used in the stock in hand upon which this tax is laid, and that there are secrets in trade by which they well know how to apportion the use of the article according to the price. But has. there been no decrease in the price of horses, coals, &c.? Has there been no increase in their trade, and consequently in their profits, owing to the prosperity of the country, and the increase of its population ? Have they also received no benefit from the large repeal of public taxes which a re turn of peace has afforded ? And ought not these, and other causes combined, to have produced beer at a much lower price than the public have ever had it ? In short, -we defy them to shew that there are any plausible or apparent circum stances (real ones there are clearly none) to jus tify one half of the rise which they have thought proper to make ; and even were that so, they were enjoying an enormous profit - before, which would well have borne a considerable reduction without thus doubly taking the public. We regret this measure the more, because it is an impost which falls principally upon the labour ing part of the community, and because its •evident • tendency will be to drive them still more to the use of ardent spirits, the demoralizing effects of which are but too apparent. But we have said (and it is no small consolation to think so), that such a step will in the end go far to defeat itself. The public rriind and that of the Government are but little inclined, we believe, to support the system any longer; and we are not without hope, that this arbitrary and uncalled-for proceeding will hasten the long-expected measure of opening this trade, and ridding the community of a mono poly more injurious to its health, its morals, and general welfare, than any-which exists in the civilized world. Mr. Huskisson, we know, has had . his eye upon these gentry for some time ; and, we trust, will not allow the next. Session of Parliament to elapse without striking an effectual blow atthe root of this bane ful and - .oppressive system. Indeed, we do,' not know of any measure which would give more eclat to the close of the present Parliament than one which should afford to the public an exemption from one of the keenest and most mortifying exactions that can be imagined,— a system, in short, alike hostile to public liberty, health, and happiness. We had intended to say a word or two upon the Parliamentary conduct, of brewers themselves, and ai r the inconsistency of seeing them bawl ing air liberty in the House of Commons, while they practise such tyranny out of it—but this topice we shall reserve for atmther opportunity. MELANCHOLY CASUALTIES.—We have.received a letter from a correspondent in Rikeel, dated ' the 29th ult., which 'gives Us the first and only intimation we have had of a melancholy catas trophe that occurred off that coml.' on the `night of the 46 of October. There was, it appears, on the night in question, a great number of boats, belonging to Cooley, fishing for herrings in the bay of Carlingfotd, two of which separated from the others, on perhaps •an expectation of getting more fish on a different route. The night was unusually stormy, and all the hoats that got safe into harbour threw out their fish, and made every , effort to ,save their lives. It is generally sup posed the others risked their lives rather than lose their fish. No trace could be found of the two boats that had separated• from the fleet, for two days, when the bodies of the ten men who manned.them were found at the bar. Another boat in the harbour of Derryogue, about two miles to the east of ,Cranfield-point, had gotten so much fish that it was found necessary .to put two of the men on the shore, in order that the boat might ride the waves until they could have light next morning to unload her: No blame can be attached to the two men who went home, for, what is somewhat ominous, they cast lots who should go anti who should stay. The wind was blowing off the sea, and as the tide arose the reverberation of the waves against the rocks dash ed both men and fish out of the boat, within about two perches of the shore.. One man was dead before he was driven on shore, and the other lived four days. He has left a wife and small family to lament his loss. The other was a young man, and the principal support of his mother and sisters.—(Newry Telegraph.) NEW MODE OF GROWIN-G POTATOES.-Mr. Walker, of Fermoy, has successfully practised a new and extraordinary mode of cultivating this root. It is well known to farmers that potatoes in pit—the general mode of keeping them in this country till they are wanted for use—throw out a great [number of shoots in the spring. From some of these shoots, in the beginning of last April, Mr. Walker cut as many knots or joints as they afforded, and planted them in drills in his garden, as if they were cuttings of the potato itself, or skillanes, as they are provincially termed. The stalks from these joints appeared in due time, were of uncommon size and luxuriance, and preserved their verdure to a . late . period of The season. The crop was dug out a few days since, and was very productive. This was the second experiment of the kind which Mr. Walker had tried, and he is so well satisfied with their result that he intends to cultivate an acre in the same manner next year ;- to the whole process of which he will invite the attention of the neighbouring farmers as publicly as possible.—(Cork Paper.) IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT IN TALLOW CAN. D LEA.— Every one knows that innumerable at tempts have been made to refine tallow, so as to give it those desirable qualities that render wax so agreeable. The great superiority of wax con sists in its melting point being considerably higher than that of tallow, and -hence the property of carrying a much thinner wick, which does not re quire snuffing, and bearing a brighter apd more • sprightly flame. After many years of laborious study and experiments, Mr. Matthew Grange, of Charlemont-street, has succeeded in purifying tallow so perfectly, that his candles have been frequently substituted for wax, and have passed for such at the parties of people of distinction.— They burn slowly and steadily, the wicks are thin, the flame is of a lively colour, and they show a considerable transparency towards the top. In this process of extreme purification of the tallow, Mr. Grange attained another object of great mo ment—the candles are free from smell. He has, indeed, been so uncommonly successful, that it seems to be almost in-.possible to make them ap proach nearer to wax.—(Freeman's Journal.) COURSE OF EXCHANGE, Nov. 8.
