governors on ells war which some wretches Charlatans have declared against the Spaniards, their deliverers, is unparalleled and incredible. The Journals and the letters from the different parts of the Peninsula give fresh proofs of the enthusiasm of the people in favour of the constitutional system, which h as b een aga i n called for by th e reco llection of the installation of the Extraordinary Cortes, in 1810, in the isle of Leon. On the other hand, the approach of the Parochial Juntas, for election of Dc. puties to the Cortes for 1822, has contributed to rouse the indolent from their lethargy, to animate the patriotic energy of the vigilant, and to make the deluded desist from their op position to the salutary measures which will lead to the solid happiness of the country. By means of a Constitution which will give such advantages to all the Spaniards, while banishing all discord from'our minds, and all are united and resolved to pay due obedience to the law and to its Ministers, we leave ' those who govern us at liberty to act with freedom and prompt /less. so that being surrounded with fewer difficulties, they may fulfil their duties with more energy and punctuality. Yesterday the first parochial assemblies were held in the ca pital for the elections; that perfect order and moderation prevail ed in them which may be expected from the inhabitants of this City, who, in spite of a dozen individuals who seem to design to lead them astray, are very well acquainted with their rights and their duties, not in theory, but in practice. We repeat it again, and again, the order, decorum, and dig nity, which prevailed in these juntas, was a consoling sight for the friends of their country, and an evident proof that the peo ple of Madrid are worthy of liberty. We hope that the other towns of the monarchy have held the same conduct, that we may be able to say that all the Spaniards are free, and will re main so, beca use t h ey are worthy of li b erty. rte e Cos are still engaged in the important di scuss i on o f re Tii project of th e Committee - for the new division of the Spanish territory, The following is an abstract of the discussion on this subject : SITTING OF BTH OCTOBER.

On the ques tion that St Cristobal de la Laguna should be the capital M. Cabezas, Deputy from the Canaries, opposed this..change of the cipitil, in a long and temperate speech and proposed that the Sty of Palma should be still the capital.

'oznitf QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT? LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1821 The French Papers of Tuesday, Madrid Jour nals to the 11th, and Hamburgh Papers to the 20th, have arrived since our last, from which we five extracts under the head of Foreign Intelli gence- Their contents are of some importance, relati ve to th e quest i on b etween Russia and Urke y ; and it would appear that little hopes are t l ns tert ained of an am i ca bl e a dj us t ment o f t h e c Leren res between thos e t wo P owers .

Asa proof of an im "ement hi our commerce, we are warranted, by the fact k asserting, that at this time there is on the stocks at our different ship-yards about 4;000 tons of shipping of the first class, besides those that have been recently launched. WASHINGTON, SEPT. 22.—The Board of Claims under the Spanish Treaty is now in Session, all the Commissioners being present. This Occasion has also attracted hither as agents for claimants some of the most eminent lawyers. [From a Baltimore Paper of the 23d Sept.] Sir T. S. RAFFLES, Lieutenant-Governor of Bencoolen, Sumatra, in a letter to one of the Editors of the "Investigator," states that the population of the Batta country in that Island does not fall short of a million—that they are cannibals—that they eat all prisoners taken in war, and that the invariable l'aw for the punishment of the five capital crimes is to eat the pri soner alive.—." You may rely on the fact, and that eating alive is as common with them as hanging in England." The Legislature, about two years since, passed an Act for enabling parishes to purchase or rent twenty acres of land, for the employment of •the poor. Considering the obvious wisdom and uti. lily of rather employing the poor in productive labour than of supporting them in' idleness, we confess that we have been surprised at the little disposition which parishes have manifested of availing themselves of the powers granted by the Act. It is true that in most instances the quan tity of land specified is too small to afford ade quate relief. A parish paying twenty, thirty, or forty thousand pounds per annum in poor's rate, cannot be very sensibly benefited by the produce of twenty acres of land ! But, if these twenty acres were in many situations taken up, and a part of the poor engaged in their cultivation, the result would enable the parishes to judge of the degree of advantage which might be derived from an extension of the system ; and there can be little doubt that Parliament would be induced, by a few successful experiments, to authorize the carrying of the same beneficial practice to any extent which might be found desirable. We are glad to see that the inh-tbitants of Cheltenham are about to avail themselves of the permission granted by the Legislature, and to give the cultivation of twenty acres, by their poor, a fair trial. It is true that we do not calculate on any very striking result ; but tl..tre must be some advantage 'gain ed, unless, from the trifling extent of the farm, the charges of superintendence, &c. should ex ceed the amount of the produce. Even in that case, perhaps it is better that the industry of the poor should thus be made to support two or three families as their overseers, than that the poor should do nothing for the support either of them selves or others. It:appears to us that the principal cause of disappointment, in the employment of the poor in workhouses, has been the application of their industry to some one branch of manu facture, in which, from the more active com petition of the general trade, the low value of the labour, the redundancy of produce, perhaps, already in the market, and the expences of su perintendance, it has been found impossible to render the labour of the poor adequate to more than a very small part of their support. In the present state of the national agriculture, and from the low value of agricultural labour, we fear that a similar disappointment awaits the parishes in their agricultural attempts. On the other hand, if the two modes were combined, — if the poor were employed in raising their own food, and in manufacturing the various articles necessary for their own use, it is impossible not to see that their industry would be found suffi cient, not only for their own support, and of course for the gradual reduction of the rates, but for the creation of a surplus produce for the bene fit of their parishes respectively. It is true that a well combined undertaking of this kind would require the employment of a larger capital than the petty expedients which have hitherto ended only in disappointment ; but it is also true that the measure could not fail to answer all the pur poses which it was intended to effect. COTE OF CORK, Monday Afternoon. —The Spencer, Sir JAMES ROWLEY, has dropt down to the Spit, preparatory to sailing, as the Semiramis, with Lord COLVILLE, our new Admiral, is hourly expected. We lament parting with our old friends, the Tars of the Spencer. The accounts from Hanover of the 16th state, that the KING'S physicians had declared it to be absolutely necessary for his MAJESTY to keep his bed for five or six days. Orders were received at Carlton Palace by the last Messenger from Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, for all the domestics to be in strict attendance at Carlton Palace in the ensuing week. Upon the arrival of the dispatches from his MA JESTY, on Wednesday last, immediate communi cations were made to all the Cabinet Ministers and the Lords Justices by express. Yesterday Lord SinmotPrit transacted business at the Home-Office. It is said that the Duke of MONTROSE has re used the situation of Lord 'Chamberlain. We learn that a private party of military men are about to set out from this city for Patras, in order to join the Greeks in the Morea.—(Dub- Pcper.) MISCELLANTOU4. Ad vices came to hand yesterday from Pernam. buco to the 4th September; all was quiet at that place, but every attempt to dis cover the person or persons who shot at and wounded the Gover nor in the end of August, bad failed. We have Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 6th of Auguit. The only article in them of the slightest interest relates to the change the Gover. nor is gradually, effecting in the currency by re moving from it all the base metal, and substi tutiug gold and silver of standard value. Yesterday forenoon, at nine o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK arrived at York House, Stable-yard, St. James's, from Euston Hall, the' seat of the Duke of G RAFTON, in Suf folk, where he has been on a visit ; at half-past ten o'clock his Royal Highness entered his office at the Horse Guards, where lie continued to transact business until nearly five o'clock, and then retired to York House, where he entertain ed a select party to dinner. His Royal High ness will remain in town until Sunday, whin he will depart again .on a country excursion. It may not be generally known that all official papers connected with military promotions, ex changes,&c. are sent to Hanover for the KING'S approval, and that the Lords Justices do not exercise any authority in that particular depart ment. This will account fin the non-appearance of the long-expected military list in The London Gazelle. His MAJESTY has now witnessed the affec tionate greetings of his Continental subjects ; and, if we are not misinformed, it is his intention, before he again takes up his abode at Carlton Palace, to pay both Bath and Cheltenham a visit. —(Bristol Journal.) By the death of the Archbishop of PARIS, Lours XVIII. will have a mitre, and his Holi ness a Cardinal's hat to dispose of. In looking over the list of the Sacred College, we find a great proportion of the Members of very advanced ages. His Holiness is upwards of 79; the Car dinal Archbishop of Pirra, 85: the Cardinal Archbishop of Sienna, 81 ; the Cardinal Arch bishop of Parma, 81; the Cardinal Archbishop of Langres, 83; and several others are about 80. The youngest is the Cardinal Rodolph, John Jo seph Renier, Archduke of Austria, who, most likely, will wear the triple crown long before he reaches the age of the present Pope. In addition to the accounts we have already published of the improved state of Trade and Manufactures in every other part of the country, we have to state that the Linen Trade in Mon trose, Arbroath, and Aberdeen is so much more flourishing than it was, that every hand is em ployed, and wages have risen. The Court of Common Pleas, which had ad journed its Westminster Sittings after last term, in consequence of the preparations then making for the approaching coronation, to the 24th of this month, has further adjourned them to the Ist of November. The scaffolding, &c. erected in Westminster Abbey for the Coronation of the KING having been cleared out from that ancient building within these few' dayi; the daiTY performance - o - f Divine service has been resumed, and the exhi bition of the tombs and curiosities is' again open. CORONATION RIOT.—At the late Oxford Ses sions, eleven persons were convicted of a riot, and breaking the windows of several of the inhabi tants of the city, who had illuminated their houses in the evening of the day of his MAJESTY'S Coronation ; ten of them were sentenced to three month's imprisonment, and one to one month's. The French Papers mention the celebration of a marriage at Paris, in which the bridegroom was 92, and the bride 82. A ball was given after the ceremony, which was opened by this venerable new-married couple. THE THEATRE.---MiS S BLAKE, the new Mac heath at the Haymarket Theatre, has evidently made a strong impression on the Public. The Beggar's Opera was repeated last night, and a very numerous audience attended.—All Miss BLAKE'S chief songs were encored. She has proved herself an excellent Actress, and the playfulness of her manner was highly applauded. We understand that she sung the admirable song entitled The Wolf, composed by Mr. SHIELD, with very great success, at the Ladies' Concerts at Bath. It is so appropriate to the characters in The Beggar's Opera, that it might properly be sung by the hero of the piece, as an excite ment to his predatory myrmidons. The Exile is quite at home at Covent-Garden Theatre, and, amidst all the barrenness of Siberia, is likely to bring the produce of an abundant har vest to 'the dramatic granary. The Manager of Drury-Lane Theatre and Mr. MUNDEN have settled all their differences, and that popular Actor is soon to resume his for mer station. Mrs. CLOVER is engaged at the West London 'Theatre. The Opera will, in the ensuing season, open much earlier than usual ; the time fixed is the middle of January. . - FIRST USE OF MAHOGANY IN ENGLAND.---Dr. GIBBONS, an eminent physician in the latter end of the 17th, and beginning of the 18th century, had a brother a West India Captain, who brought over some logs of this wood as ballast. As the Doctor was then building a house in King-street, Covent garden, London, his brother thought they might be of service to him ; but the car penters finding the wood too hard for their tools, they were laid aside a time as useless. Soon af ter, Mrs. GIBBONS wanted a candle-box ; the Doctor called on his cabinet-maker (WOLLA• STON, in Long-acre), to make one of some wood which lay in his garden. Wollaston also com plained that it was too hard. The Doctor said, he must get stronger tools. The candle-box was how- ever,made and approved, insomuch,that the Doctor then insisted on having a bureau Made of the same . _ _ wood, which was also completed ; and the fine colour, polish, &c. were so pleasing, that he in vited all his friends to come and see it ; among them the Duchess of BUCKINGIIAM. Her Grace begged some of the same wood of Dr. Giunoxs, and employed W or . LA s T oN to make her a bureau also, on which th e f a me of mahogany and of Mr. WOOLASTON were much raised, and the wo o d came into general uso. VICTORY OF TRAFALGAR.

Upwards of eighty Gentlemen partook of a most elegant din ner, served up in superior style'by the proprietors of the Green Man Tavern ; the dessert afforded every delicacy of the season, and the wines were pronounced by all the company very supe rior. The following toasts were among the number : " The King," with four times four. Tune—God save the King. " The Royal Family," three times three.. Glee. " The Duke of York and the Army," three times three, .How merrily, &e. • . " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," three times three, Rule Britannia.

Campbell, Esq. l ate a Colonel in the Volunteers.) Song—" Death of NefsCon," by Mr. Jolly. To enumerate the number of lOyal toasts drank on the occa sion would he endless ; suffice to say, that on the King's health being drank, nothing but a discharge from the artillery could equal the fire. The company separated about 12 o'clock highly pleased. The Marine Band attended from Woolwich, also several professional singers from town.

THE TRADE OF THE CANAMIS. 30.—The American Newspapers halie lately announced the arrival of some portions of Timber from Lake Champlain in the Hudson, by the Canal which has lately, been cut from Whitehall, at the So*thern extremity of tlr Lake to the Hudson River near Fort Edward ; and the same Papers also state, that the naysgation of the Hudson will shortly be improved so as to admit of sloops proceeding up to the mouth of the Canal. When these works and the great Canal and its branches can. - nesting the. Hudson with Lakes Brie and Ontario will be entire ly complete, a period, which, according to eVery probability and the positive st a tem ents o f t h e American Authorities, will not exceed two years froth the present time, _the wishes of Si r I saac Coffin and his friends will be completed. Canada, nor Great Britain, will no longer be troubled with Anierlean produce and the returns passing by the St. Lawrence in British shipping. -It is even possible that in so far as the trade between the Canadas and Great Britain is concerned, it may be said to be sunk to the bottom of the seas. twe do hot think that the United States will make any di a.. tinction between the produce of the Canadas and that of the United States. We dare say that they will gladly see it put on. board Of American ships, or the ships of any other nation, to be. transported to any part of the world where it can find a market; and that returns will by cheerfully fbrwarded by. the Champlain and Eric ',Canals On paying the common fare: We do believe, that unless something is done speedily, to re move the indecement of higher prices of produce and equally low prices of imported merehandize and of the'substitutes of American manufaCtures, that this will be the course t!-at the trade of the Canadas will take in a very few . years.— . The cost of transport from all the settled parts of Upper Canada, to New York, by the Great Canal, ivill be little more than the cost of transport to Quebec, and the cost of the trare. pOrt of the returns will probably be something less. well known that notwithstanding the - duties w'ench the American Government levies on certaindescriptions of impertedmerchan disc, particularly such as are of British manufacture, goods ernrally sell as cheap, (if not clieaper).. 'at New York as at itenec and Montreal. This the American merchant is proba b y enabled to do by the profits which - he makes on his (nit:. ward cargoes, sent to any foreign market which may happen to be the most advantageous hers also forced t o th e best managemerit, and to be satisfied with the lowest possible profit, by ie very extended and active competition. The United States also now manufacture a variety. of cheap articles, suited to their own consumption, which are equally adapted to the Canadas. The hake Champlain Canal, and the improvements of the Hudsen,which We understand will be completed this season,will afford nearly as great • facilities to Lower Canada. We ques tion if the best market for the wheat of the River Chambly is not now at New York, to which' it may be exported from St. John's at very little more cost than from the Bason of Chairibly to Quebec, where there is no demand for it. The St. Law, rence, the River Chambly; with the contemplated improve, molts in its navigation, Lake Champlain - and the Iluds•an, would form an uninterrupted navigable•communication between every part of Lower Canada and New York. . It may seem strange, incredib, that the bount 'of nature. the finest navigable river in the Wo le rld, should be rendered use less as an outlet to the sea, by works of art and artificial regula tions ; but whoever will consider by what law trade is naturally regulated, the course which . we have supposed the trade of the Canadas will take, under the permanency of the existing Legis lative regulations of Great Britain, is neither fanciful nor far - distant. The only thing wonderful about it, is to see twe maritime rivals co-operating in the same result. MERCANTILE SHIPPING, &c.
