The Asstrian Observer says that it WIN generally affirmed at

It•rahim had °feted to the besieged an honourable capitulation.
The Guerrero Spanish ship of the line, which sailed from Cadiz
a.'.-t:• three months ago, has arrived at San Yugo de where
It oined the expedition assembled there. under the command of
G-neral Don Laborde, commander-in-chief of the Spanish naval
Ince in. the Antilles. This General, one of the most able of
Cie Spanish naval officer•, as well known for his fidelity as for him
general knowledge, writes, under the date of 6th of April last, to
tie Vice-Consul of Spain at Bordeaux, to acquaint him with the
important intelligence of the arrival of the Guerrero.
It is thought, with some foundation, that General Laborde left
San Yago in the course of April, to go with his squadron to the
coasts of the Colony ; which renders improbable the statement so

undertaken against the Isle of Cuba, by the 31exicans and Co.

LIBERTY-EQUALITY.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Arbil. 9.
To the Citizen Editor of the Official Bemire, the Telegreph.
tETW.—" We have the pleasing satisfaction of %form-
ing you that his Excellence, the President, by one of the
Coble and laudable actions which are serfitroilizi to him. has just
glesals favour of she public tremor, ikbeereowse of one year of
her salary. being the sum of 40,000 poles. which will be added
to that destined by the potriotism of the Haytian people to dis-
charge the national debt contracted with France.
" His Excellency, informing the Legislative body of this noble
determination, said, • I must add here that pecuniary sacrifices are
10.0 trifles to patriotic citizens, when evoy good Haytian should
be always ready to perish. if necessary, in Me defence of his liberty
and of the independence of his country.'
•• This example was worthy of the elevated character of the Chief
wbo presides over the destiniesof Hayti. It has accordingly produced
among all the &leathers of the Chamber of Representatives the
national sentiments of admiration, which we hope will be always
reit by all our feliow-citizer.s, who, on this important occasion, will
not fail to show themselves worthy of belonging to a free people,
and worthy of the celebrated man who has so many claims to the
national gratitude.
" Persuaded that this information exam* fail to be received with
Crest satisfaction by all friends to their country, we invite you to
iosert it in the next number of your journal.
Accept, Citizen, zeta assurance of our affectionate sentiments.

The frequent reposta of the alerting. of different Coo-
• paws which appear in our colunins,'Enuat naturally tarn
. the attestion of our readers to the hiatus of these 'no-
c‘ationt during the last six months. Many of these So-
cieties; the shams of are now so Pull, aerreektetl,

bore an extravagant premient a few months ago. The
cense of the change is not one which requires any depth of
investigation to discover. The phiusible prospects which
raised their value in the market to such a degree, have
been discovered, in many cases, to be futile, and the conse-
quence has been that all their shires have suffered a depre-
ciation. That depreciation; we will venture to say. has been
as much below the true value of these shares as the former
premium had succeeded it. This is the natural consequence
of hopes buoyed up beyond their natural level, which must
always sick at last into an undue depression. There cannot
Ise the Jew doubt of the imprudence and impracticability
of many of the schemes on which these Societies ware
founded ; and there can be as little doubt that the shares
of many of them, the ohjecei of which were really feasible,
and likely to become profitable, were pushed by unprin-
cipled speculators much beyond theiereal value, by bolding
out hopes of excessive profits, which could never have been
realized. It was to be expected that those who dreamt
of having cent. per cent. for their money annually,
would he speedily undeceived ; and it was not likely
that those who had twee feasting on such golden hopes
would sit down To:dented with six, eight, or ten
per etnt., Which many of these establishments will proba-
bly ht enabled to divide on their capital. If the reaction
had iken confined only to impracticable and ridiculous pro-
jects,
.its effect would have been most beneficial ; but un-
fortunstely it seems likely to sweep away in the same tor-
rent all that is really useful and advantageous. Some of
these projects minted to the improvement of our own Coun-
try—to ,promote its agriculture and manufactures, and to
improve its internal communications. The objects of these
were ceetainly of the moat desirable nature ; yet they are
likely, if the present spirit continues, to be consigned to the
same neglect and oblivion which will more deservedly be
the fate of those which are triffing and impracticable. Per-
haps some difficulties might occur in the accomplishment
of their objects ; but that should not discourage us. Some
difficulties have been found in the construction of railways,
and the test schemes talked of at one time have been aban-
doned. We have inserted in another part of our Paper of
to-day an account of a railway on which success has been
attained, and in which also the means of (mallet and greater
success are pointed out. A few objections were started to
the constructions proposed, and men concluded immediately
that the whole scheme was founded in error; forgetting that
all schemes must be liable to objections, and that it is not
the wise man's business to give way to such objections, but
to exert himself to surmount them. For our parts, we lament
the damp which has been thrown on these schemes ; we yet
hope to see rail-roads to an the principal places of the
kingdom ; and we would even venture to think that the
principle of the inclined plane, though somewhat decried,
will be found useful in their construction. There are seve-
ral other species of projects to which we cannot now refer:
but we would make a few remarks on those whose object
was io improve 'foreign countries. We consider these as
extremely useful, and we do not by any means agree with
the clamour which has been raised, about sending money
to make canals, &c. in America. If the countries in which I
this property is invested are such as are obliged by their
situation to keep on good terms with us, we consider
British property thbre to be as safe as in England. This
is the case in all maritime countries. Schemes of this sort
would give us a species of colonies without the expense of
garrisons, and would enable us to raise productions by
British capital, and even by British industry, which could
never be raised with our own soil and climate. It would
secure our Government also a strong party among the
,population of these countries, in consequence of the num-
bers of the native population which would be in the em-
ployment of British subjects. These schemes, however,
will not all prove abortive, and even those which may
turn out to be useless in themselves may lead indirectly to
trimly admirable results, in the same way as the search for
' the philo-,apher's stone is said to have been the cause of
most of the early discoveries in chymiatry. To the period
of the South Sea scheme, or rather to the preceding period,
many of tbis noblest discoveries of the last century may be
I referred.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

The firm sate in which the Public Securities closed yesterday
occasioned an advance on their opening this day. Consols gra-
dually rose to 84 buyers; having reached this height by the
artifice; of the bulls, they immediately became sellers, and a re.
action took place, and Consols declined to 1103 3 3 3; they subse-
quently rallied to 003 3. and closed at ON. No rumours having
been circulated, these fluctuations were occasioned solely by the
operations of this market. In the other Stocks there was a slight
v.triation ; the 3 per Cents. Reduced varying 733 to 794 ; 33 per
Cents. Reamed, 84 3 1 ; Consols for Account, 1301 3 I f 3.
The Foreign and Share markets continue without any varia-
tion worth mentioning.
The accounts received from the manufacturing disuiets are More
favourable than they bare been some time past; a marked im-
provement having taken place.
Money was by no means plentiful.

The Proclamation which his Majesty signed on Thum-
day for dissolving the present Parliament was issued
yesterday, and consequently the Dissolution has already
taken place. If the writ for the election of leltrbers
reaches the Borough before twelve o'clock this day, then
the polling for Southwark will commence on Thursday;
if after twelve, it will not begin till Friday. We under-
stand that the City Election will commence at the earliest
periOd that the law will allow of after the receipt of the
writ by the Sheriffs.
Live a Imo 1., I.—This day the friends of Mr. Hus-
kisson met,. agreeably to advertisement ; John Gladstone,
Esq. M.P. called to the Chair. The Bight lion. William
,kluskiateas was proposed to be reauenet‘sew Mehrber in-the
miming. Parliament for this Borough', when a series of
resolutions' was proposed and carried, and the thanks of
the Meeting to Mr. J. Gladstone, Esq. were moved and car-
ried, for his conduct in the chair; after which a number
of carpenters who were in the room raised a cry of " No
II uskissonl Gladstone for ever !" Mr. Gladstone made some
reply, which was inaudible, when many of the Meeting
retired. A carpenter immediately got upon the table, and
read (from the Liverpool Advertiser of June 25, 1825),
parts of Mr. Huskimon s speech in the House of Commons
on the subject of Combination and Free Trade, &c. after
which a feeble shout was raised, " Gladstone for ever!"
and the Meeting broke up.
We understand the returning officers have fixed Mon-
day, the 14th inst., for the day on which the election will
commence in this town.—Liverpool Advertiser.
We have seen the bust of our distinguished Representa-
tive, Mr. Huskisson, which is executed by our young towns-
man, Mr. Ward. It does the artist great credit, and we
sincerely hops that his talent will be duly appreciated and
adequately patronized by an enlightened community.—Li-
verpool Advertiser.
• SILK 'Peens.—The following is the present state of
the Silk Trade in Taunton, so far as the weaving and
its dependent branches are concerned :—The number of
hands employed in this manufacture previously to the
commencement of the present distress, was 1,737 : of these
there are now (May 22) in full work, 310; in half work,
810; in quarter work, 60. The number of persons dis-
charged by the different manufacturers, and now out of
employment, is M 7. The Committee for the relief of the
distressed weavers have distributed to 400 persons, for
twelve weeks past, 20F. weekly, in bread and money. The
parochial expenditure for the relief of the poor has, on an
average, for the last six rnearbs, increased 6/. per week, and
for the last three. months, Ti. 151. per week.
