TUE LONDON JO qRNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Sept. 6, 1825. [MORNING HERALD.] King. Fe'rdinand and his Government have re ceived at least a respite, if not more permanent safety, from the capture and death of Bessieres. The insurrection appears to have been- more de ficient in contrivance and ability than in resources. Bessieres did not want money, and priests, pea sants, and Royalist volunteers, joined him in con: siderable numbers. Add,to this, that the troops sent against.him in the first instance, joined the revolt; or refused obedience: But there was no previous organization or concert—nothing more than a mere cry of 46 Death to the French !" " Live the Inquisition !" and, 6 6 Don Carlos King !" The mere rabble and refuse of fanatics, malefactors, and such other persons, which were brought together by this cry, dispersed as sud denly on the first panic, and Bessieres was left almost alone in the hands of his pursuers.— The Commandant of Madrid, with little more than' a thousand men (the Journals say five thousand) whose fidelity was secured by the payment of their arrears, had no difficulty in, putting down this insurrection. which ap peared so formidable. It is not likely that the brother of Ferdinand had cognizance of the de sign. He is said to possess more frankness and capacity, as well as a more austere fanaticiSm than his Royal brother. He must therefore have known that, wholly unsupported abroad, and with only a desperate factious minority at home, he could have no real and well-founded hope of being placed on the Throne in the room of Fer-' dinand. The insurrection may be regarded as defeated. All movements of the kind must have at least a first success of a brilliant and striking character. But here there was neither capacity nor design, nor a single incident worth notice, and the leader himself upon- whom so much depended has been abandoned, captured, and executed. - The monks and Priests have re tired and shrunk back, and the public authorities are afraid to bring them to jus tice. A proclamation or instruction has in con. sequence been issued, declaring them amenable as traitors like the laity. Some Constitutionalists arrested on suspicion, have been set at liberty. There is even a disposition shown by the Spanish Ministry and the French to conciliate them—by the common and single tie of their hatred of the fanatics and serviles. But there is one circum stance which, ,if it be truly stated, shows that neither adversity, nor danger, nor escape from danger, nor the lapse of time, can mitigate the relentless cruelty of the Spanish Government. The papers announce that the Chief called the Empecinado, after two years' imprisonment,, has been put to death. It is to be hoped this may be incorrectly announced, as it was stated lately that Ferdinand had commuted the sentence of death to imprisonment for life. [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the 4th inst. and the Etoile of Sunday 'reached us last night - by Express. As they do not yet contain any intelligence from Spain of a later date than the Telegraphic Dis patch which announced the execution 'of Bes sieres, it" is impossible to know what effect has been produced in the Peninsula by that act of decision and policy. It appears that on this oc casion some Constitutionalist Officers tendered' their services to the General appointed to reduce the Rebels, who accepted them and found them useful allies in the pursuit and almost immedi ate capture of l3essieres and his accomplices. It is not one of the least curious phenomena of the .present disordered and agitated state of Spain, that the Despot Ferdinand should be forced - by the treasons and iusurrections of the Ultra Royalists, to seek a refuge in the arms of. the Liberals, - w horn he has so unrelentingly per secuted, and in some measure toplace himself at their head, and to become their visible chief ! The intelligence from Greece in these papers continues to be of a favourable character. The affairs of the Morea are represented as drawing to a close, but a close propitious to the cause of patriotism and .liberty. A young American, whose name alone ought to be a tower of strength in a country struggling for national. independence, Mr. William Washington, nephew to the great and immortal Liberator of the United States, had arrived at Hydra to engage in this sacred war. " This young artillery officer," says the Constitutiopel, " inheriting the virtues of his uncle and filled with enthusiasm in the cause of the Greeks against the Barbarians, has taken post in their ranks and immediately set off for Napoli di Romania." The other contents of these Journals posseSs no political importance. The loss incurred by speculators in consequence of the fall which has taken place in the French 3 per cents. since the first day of their emission, is calculated by the Arista, que at no less a sum than . fifty millions of francs. It - seems that England is not the only country from which gold is" exported. A post chaise drawn by three horses, had several times of late passed through Valenciennes. Its frequent appearance at length excited suspicion, and it was stopped on the 30th ult. early in the - morning at the gate of Mons. The. conductors declared that it be longed to Messrs. Rothschild ; but the power of that name did not check the Custom-house officers, who persisted in making a search, and found thiyty-one gold ingots, weighing 615 kilograms, and. worth 2,000,000 francs, which were seized, together with the carriage. [TII E TIMES.] We stated yesterday some details respecting the financial . transactions consequent on the re cerit treaty between Prance and President Boyer, who, it appears, according to the report of the Fri-nch Commanding Officer, was much more conciliatory in his proceedings—that is, a more tractable and gullible , negociator—than the - three honest reptlblicans whom he had first appointed . to treat in his nanie on behalf of Hayti. Diffi culties had arisen between th e black Commis sioners and the white—the former would not barter away the money and commerce of their countrymen so freely as was wanted, until he whose duty ought to have impelled him to guard the national interests with peculiar jealousy and determination=the Chief Magistrate himself— threw up the game; and if not wilfully, fatally at least, by making such an enormous sacrifice 'for a verbal recognition of a noto rious fact, has led them to conjecture ,that France po,sessed the ability to resume by force what she sold for so immense a profit ; and that as she succeeded in extorting treasure, she was equally qualified to extort an equivalent in power, to become again the mistress of those who bribed so largely for their liberty. Either Hayti was not so strong as we had hoped, or Boyer was what it might seem unmannerly, without positive proof, to call him. The feelings, however, of other Haytians, besides the worthy diplomatists whom the President superseded in their A-fis sion, are described to have been honourable, as their judgments are sound. " Charles X." indeed was one of the toasts at the grand din ner given by Boyer to M. Mackau aitd his brother officers, on occasion of celebrating this disgrace of the Ilaytian counsels ; but there was also a toast of a different character proposed with much emphasis by a " distinguished" member of the' Haytian Senate :—" May we never cease to " feel in ourselves, or to impress on our poste " rity, that we owe our present situation, our " existence as a nation, free and independent, " to the aid given us by commerce, from Dig " land, America,. and Germany." This senti ment shows spirit as well as discernment, and must have communicated a relish, nothing short of wormwood, to the bumpers in which no doubt it was swallowed by a certain portion of the com pany. Had we been citizens of the free state of Hayti, we know what would have been our thoughts of the individual who presided at this feast. [NEW TIMES.] We have more than once bad occasion to no tice the two Newspapers set up, by the Mecha nics, the Artizans, or (to speak more elegantly) the Operatives. They are both filled with vile trash ; and as might have been expected, they deal in the most disgusting abuse of each other. One of th:ln almost insinuates what ought not to be listened to but in a Court of Justice. The other, with a just indignation, repels this base malignity, but what does he say next ? With cold-blooded se riousness, be actually suggests that poor persons, who cannot maintain their children, should be allowed to strangle them as soon as born! Or if this should be thought too harsh a proceeding, that the parents should at least be permitted to sell their children ! Th.se are your patrons of the poor—your friends of the human race ! Some what comically the author of this execrable stuff talks, a few lines lower down, of " staking his literary reputation." The stake, to be sure, is too small, to contend about ; but the point on which it is ventured is, if possible, still more insignificant : it relates to the philosophy of a tailor who has scribbled sonic observations on Mr. Huskisson's speech. This Knight of the Shears, we understand, is also a sage of the Pmtlophonic school. lie, or one of his dis ciples, was lately expatiating on the utility of slaughtering all the infants that might be born between- this and the year 1830. " The only objection," said the orator, " that I can see to the plan is, that it might produce, in many in stances, a milk-fever among the mothers." " Not at all," replied one of his auditors drily, " the calves of the country might bp employed to draw off the superfluous fluid, and ,you would no doubt lend your assistance with the rest." [BRITISH PRESS.] The depression of the Money-Market seems fast wearing away ; the atmosphere of the Stock Exchange, which has foronany days past been so gloomy, has again brightened, and the " busy hum" of speculation is nearly as audible as ever. This proves that the causes which created that depretsion were, in their nature temporary.— Among other causes has been assigned that of the Bank restricting suddenly the amount of its discounts. We, however, doubt if the late depression arose out of any such operation. We are inclined to refer it—although not excltr sively—to a very different origin. The ex pected remittances from the continent have not arrived, in many instances; with the regularity that was expected. Great mercantile houses have consequently been, many of them, embarrassed for the moment, to meet the engagements to which those remittances have been'appropriated. This must, of necessity, have created a tempo. rary embarrassment, and thrown the parties upon resources which would tend to create, if not a scarcity of money, at least, that pressure for immediate accommodation, which, in its , effect, is equivalent. As the foreign remittances arrive the face of things improves, the elasticity being restored by the removal of the pressure. This we think sufficient of itself to account for the recent fluctuations, without having recourse to any athey solution. That the ext. gency we have adverted to might bring more bills to the Bank to be discounted than might appear to the Directors to be legitimate mercantile pa per, w e can readily conceive; but that the Bank, either now or at any time, would limit its issues to an amount less than the public occasions re quirk!, is what no man who reflects at all can be lieve ; on the other hand, it is clear that the Directors would soon increase their issues to a ruinous excess if they measured their accommo dation by the demand, without due regard to the solidity of the parties applying for it. rTIIE PUBLIC LEDGER..] We have received the Paris Papers of Satyr day, and the Etoile of Sunday. They contain no news from Spain of so recent a (late as that conveyed by the Telegraph, which announced the .capture and execution of , Bessieres. The detailed account would not probably appear be fore M on d ay ; t h oug h t h e e ff e ct of this intelli. gence, even in its present stinted form, is perc e p 7 ttble' in the improved and ithproving state, of the Rentes. As the 'conspiracy, for which that ad venturer ha§-suffered, was directed against the French as much as against Ferdinand, the for mer will regain their influence in Spain, which had been rapidly subsiding before, and which, in her present deplorable circumstances, can only be exercised for here benefit. The French Government, too, has been long sensible of its error, in restoring the old despotism without making any provision to check the passions of its ignorant and fanatical retainers; and it was the attempt to correct this blunder, which in duced the Serviles to try to dethrone Ferdi nand, as an instrument of the French, and to set up a tool of their own in the person of his brother, Don Carlos. However the former will now take his revenge ; and as he does not dislike the spectacle of a grand moral lesson, the penalty he will inflict will be fully equal to the provocation he has received. As the priesthood have taken a prominent part in the conspiracy, and as his zeal for their interests has been more the effect of policy than of reli gious fervour, he will mulct them handsomely now that he has them in his power ; and, whilst he is thus gratifying his natural• propensity to violence, he will unconsciously promote the in. terests of humanity. However, we' think more favourably of him now, than we did before ; and if any thing can reclaim him from his ar bitrary way, it is the discovery he has just made of the designs of the Ultra-Servile party against his person and authority. The Con stitutionalists, even when they had most cause of complaint against him, never plotted against his life ; and they always repelled with horror the idea of compelling him to abdicate. Both designs, however, are perfectly familiar to his pretended friends,par excellence, of the Throne and the Altar. The failure of. their late plot will only render them more circumspect ; whilst they have in their fears an additional motive to remove a Monarch, whom they cannot trust any longer, and who, they are well aware, cannot confide in them after the disclosures that have been just made. How ever, the King has them now so completely in his power, that he may crush them entirely, if such be his will; and as he has only the other alternative left of being crushed himself by this execrable faction, it is possible that a regard for his personal safety may induce him to do, what a sense of duty, aided by the reclamations of the French Government, could not have extorted from him before. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MR. WOMBWELL AND HIS LIONS. UNION -HA L L .—The owner of the lions Nero and Wallace, which were brutally exhibited at Warwick this summer, at tended yesterday before R. J. CHAMBERS, Esq. the presiding Magistrate, on the authority of a warrant issued' at the instance of a tradesman named Ott, which charged. him with an assault committed under these circumstances : It appeared that on the last day of Camberwell Fair the com plainant went to the Menagerie, of which Mr. Wombwell is the proprietor, and inquired if the two royal animals were to be seen which had been recently engaged in a conflictmith the bull dogs at Warwick, and on being answered in the affirmative, he paid the demargl and entered the exhibition. In. descending the steps within the show, he perceived a man upon oneof the cages, whom he supposed to be about feeding the animals, for the lion Nero dashed to the top of his cage, and roared as if he were uneasy. SeVeral persons who were inside were attracted to the spot, and, after a few moment's, Mr. Ott, having observed. some persons going round the cage, he followed them, and found, when he had got outside, that it was the door •of egress. Not having satisfied his curiosity, he endeavoured to return, but was prevented by Mr. Wombwell, who appeared to be.. stationed there. The complainant represented how he had mistaked the door, and trusted that he should be permitted to see the exhibi tion. He was then_told that he could not enter by that door, and not being willing to go away Without indulging his curiosity, he endeavoured to push past the proprietor, who immediately seized him, and called to another person, whose name is Haines, whom lie instructed, in no very gracious terms, to give the com plainant a good beating. Th e m an th en d ou bled, - his. fist, and struck the complainant on the mouth, which bled profusely, the latter not being able to defend himself having his arms pinioned by Mr. Wombwell. They, however, soon released him, perceiv ing that he was a good deal hurt by the blows, and he was driven out of the Menagerie, not a little surprised at the brutal treatment be had met with. On explaining at.the place where he had paid (the person who received his money having recognized him) in what way he had been treated, he was per mitted to enter without again paying; and on presenting him self before Mr- Wombwell, he asked' what apology would be given for the very rough usage he had experienced ? Mr. W. said that he had lost 501. last year at Bartholomew Fair, by people rushing in at the egress door witho u t p a yi ng , an d he was determined not to permit any person to enter through it again. The complainant then observed, that it was but poor consolation for him to hear an idle story about other people's acts; to which Mr. W. replied, that lie was not accountable for what his own men did, who happened to be intoxicated.— The complainant finding that lie was not very likely to obtain any satisfactiOn for the injury he had 'received, took a view of the wild beasts and quitted'the place. The following morning he obtained a warrant against Mr. W. • for the assault, but it was not executed until Friday, he being in the . country with his show. Not knowing the name of the man who struck him, he did not obtain a warrant against him. Mr, Wonibwell, on being asked, said the man's name was George Haines. _ _ The Magistrate ordered a warrant to be issued aghinst Haines, and called upon Mr. Wombwell to produce two re spectable housekeepers (who immediately appeared) to answer the charge at the sessions. His Worship said that Mr. Womb well's conduct towards the complainant was as bad as his treat ment towards his wild beasts, he having held his arms to pre vent him from defending himself. [MORNING CIIRON'tCLE.] By the regular post we yesterday received the Madrid Gazette from the 20th to 24th ult., from which we subjoin an extract,- intended more to shew the feeling prevailing in that unhappy country than to record any political occurrence of. a new and eventful nature. The account of Bessieres' seizure and death • was communicated by telegraph, consequently the official notice of that event is of a more recent date than the, pa pers now before us ; but we have so long been ecclusively indebted to the French papers for Madrid news, that any thing direct from thence is doubly acceptable. The manner in which the pious Ferdinand treats the Freemasons found in Spain may be edifying to some of our readers:— , OFFICIAL ARTICLE. " Royal Decree, ordering the Freemasons taken in flagrante to be punished within the third day, conformably to the Laws. " A lodge of Freemasons having been seized in the city of Grenade, through the activity and zeal of the. Police, in the,act 'of holding their dark meeting, clothed in their ridiculous gar ments, and surrounded by the instruments and emblems used by this reprobate sect, the enemy of the Altar and the Throne ; and it being proper to punish in an exemplary manner, and in conformity to the laws and my Royal Decree, so shameless an audacity on the part of these criminals, which . has scandalized my faithful and religious subjects, 1 have thought tit to decree as follows :—Art. Ist.- All the persons seized in the flagrant act aforesaid, in the Freemasons' Lodge of Grenada, shall, within the peremptory term of three days, after the publication of this my Royal Decree in the said city, undergo the punishments im posed by the laws of these my kingdoms, and more particularly by my Decree of the Ist Au gus t, 1824 (meaning death.)-2d. All who may be hereafter apprehended, in whatsoever part of the kingdom it may be, in the same manner as those of Gre nada have been, shall be tried and punished in the same per emptory term of three days, &c.—San Ildefonso, Aug. 21, 1132.5.—Signed by the King. THE WEATHER. EXTRACT from a METEOROLOGICAL JOURNAL for Auo. 1825, kept at the OBSERVATORY of the ROYAL ACA- DE MY, Gosport, Hants:— "The first Part - of this month was wet, and the latter part generally dry. After a considerable decrease in the tempera ture of the air the latter part of last month, the thermometer in the shade at two p. m. on the Ist inst. indicated 86 degrees, that I% within half a degree of the maximum heat fox July ; but the sky at that time was nearly overcast with a mixture of electrical modifications of clouds ( - Cumu/oJtratits) which con fined the heat downwards ; the air was sultry in the night, and refreshing showers of rain, so very desirable after a month's drought, following on the 3d and eight subsequent days. The rain continuing at intervals through the latter part of the month was very beneficial in the recovery and growth of the fruits, vegetation, and grass ; and it w as fortun a te for the har vest people in this neighbourhood that most of it fell in the nights, consequently they met with scarcely any interruption in the completion of an abundant corn harvest. " The aggregate of the spaces described by the fluctuations of the mercury in the barometer this month is small, about the one-fourth-more than that of last month ; and 'the relative changes are less in number than those in July, which shews the. steadiness of that valuable instrument. It is a curious fact that the evaporation this month does not amount to quite half so much as in :the lireceding month. In consequence of the dry ness of the summer, the fruits in general have a much better flavour than for some years past ; but although plentiful, they are mostly stunted in growth, from the dryness of the ground, and the deprivation of necessary moisture. " The mean temperature of the external air this month is very nearly a degree less than that of last, and one degree more than the mean of August for the last eight years. 'Notwith standing the rains, it appears from the mean temperature of Spring water, that the ground has this month acquired an addi tional heat of degree; and it is nearly 1 degree warmer than at this time last year. " In the night of the 10th inst. from nine till twelve o'clock, there was a fine display of. twenty-two meteors in different di rections, but mo s tl y towar d s t h e N ort h , and many of them left sparklibg trains behind them. " Much gossamer has prevailed the latter part of this, and nearly the whole of last month. " The atmospheric and meteoric phenomena that have come within our observation this period, are one solar halo, one rain bow, forty m e t eors , li g h tn i ng an d t h un d er on t h e 2d and iptb, and sheet lightning in the night of the sth; also four gales of wind on different days from the S.W..

DISTURBANCE AT TREVOR CHAPEL. --- QUEEN-SQUARE—Yesterday G. and N. Vassey, both shoe makers, were committed, in default of bail, charged with in terrupting divine servine, and annoying the congregation, at Trevor Chapel, Knightsbridge. on Sunday evening. It appeared they went in drunk, while th e Rev. Mr. Morrison was reading prayers ; and having been placed in a seat, in about five mi nutes one of them rose and left the Chapel, and the other put his hat on and stood up in a pew. His brother then came back, and some altercation and struggling between them took place, but they were at length persuaded to quit the Chapel. in a short time, however, they returned again, made a noise at the door, used most abominable language, and offered to fight several members of the congregation. During this uproar the service was suspended 20 minutes, great terror was excited among the ladies, and above 100 persons quitted the Chapel.— The prisoners did not shew the slightest coStrition, and a prose cution was deemed necessary, therefore, to prevent a recurrence of the circumstance. THE CI-DEVANT LADY COCKBURN. • MARLI3bROUGH-STREET.—Yesterday, Lady Cockburn, alias Mrs. Ventura, was brought before Mr. ROE, charged with unlawfully pawning a watch and some bed furniture.— This woman, to whom it appeared on the trial of Ventura for bigamy, Sir James Cockburn had been married, and who after wards was married to Ventura, was in a state of the utmost poverty and distr ess . Th e landlady, with whom she had lived tor years, was the accuser. She had lost a watch and some articles f household furniture, and suspecting the prisoner, proceeded to search her drawers, and found a duplicate of a watch which had been pawned. As the pawnbroker was not present, and the watch could not be identified, her ladyship was remanded till a future day. MISCONDUCT OF.A COACHMAN. , Bow- STittET.— Yesterday William Wentworth, the driver of the hackney-coach No. 237, was summoned to answer to the complaint of a gentleman, named Hamilton, for wilful misbe haviour, in being drunk and abusive.—lt appeared by the state ment of Mr. Hamilton, which was corroborated by another , entleman, that having gone to Charing-cross, to meet some ladies who came by a stage-coach from the country, he called a hackney coach to convey them. and their luggage to their town residence. The defendant's coach being the first on the stand it was drawn off to the pavement by the Waterman, and'the ladies and the luggage were safely deposited inside be fore the defendant, who was drinking in a public-house, made his appearance. The moment Mr. Hamilton 'saw him, he ob served that he was very drunk, and he told him that he .was unfit to have the management of his horses, and that he should put the ladies into another coach. The defendant immediately began to abuse him, swore that he was perfectly sober, and well able to manage any'pair of horses in the ,kingdom, and upon Mr. Hamilton's, attempting to prevent him driving off, he said he would give him " a damned good hiding." He en deavoured to get his horses into a gallop, and in doing so drove from side to side, so that-the coach was in imminent danger of being overturned. The ladies, one of whom was extremely aged, screamed violently and begged him to stop, and he continued to whip his horses until Mr. Hamilton and the gentleman who Came forward to give evidence, at the risk of their lives, seized the reins and checked their further _progress. A great crowd collected, and irwas with much difficulty the ladies could be got out and conducted to a coffee-house, and the luggage pre served. The elder lady was much hurt by being shaken about in the coach. In addition to this the defendant demanded and took a shilling for the hire of his coach. The coachman, in his defence, declared-that he was perfectly sober on the night in question, and that, though he might have been a little nettled at being told that he was drunk when he knew he was quite the contrary, no man could be mote civiller than he was, for he never gived the gemman a miss word. Sir R. BIRNIE said lie had abundant proof to the contrary, and convicted the defendant in the penalty of 20s. and costs.— Mr. Hamilton gave the moiety of the penalty to Sir Richard Birnie's poor-box. - HoRsE-STEAtiNo.—The crime of horse-steal ing is still carried on to an amazing extent, and scarcely a day passes that information does not reach Bow-street Office, of one oL more horses . having been stolen. OR Sunday night five valuable horses were stolen f'rom a field near Edgeware, belong ing to a Mr. Thompson, of Kilburn, who we believe had the cale , of them.- They were valued at about 700 guineas. One of them was stated to be the property of Chief Justice BEST. ROBBERY OF_THE SOUTHAMPTON BANK.—On Thursday John Johnson and J. hardy were examined at Brighton, charged on suspicion of having stolen the South ampton Bank parcel of Messrs. Trim, Kellow, and Pritchard, (containing nearly 2,0001.) on Wednesday last. The 'prisoner Johnson passed one of the 5/. notes to Mr. J. Walker, linen draper, of St. James's-str ee t, i n payment for two Silk hand kerchiefs, and Hardy another 5/. note to Mr. Buckwell, in payment of a - gold watch key. By the promptude and judg ment, of Mr. Walker the prisoners were apprehended. A third 'person, who has since disappeared, was previously seen with them, when they offered a similar note to a tradesman in the new road there. The prisoners were separately searched, and on the person of Johnson were found one five pound note of the Southampton bank, four sovereigns, and some,silver ; on Hardy, forty-four five pound note of the same bank, nine 11. notes of the different Brighton banks ,(obtained in change' in the. morning), thirt een sovere i gns an d a h a lf, six half crowns ; and a bank p ost bill f or 50 / ., w hich , i t a pp ea r e d, h e had obtained from the Ohl B r i g ht on B an k, in exchange for tin five pound notes of the Southampton Bank, which notes were also p ro d uce d .
