LONDON, FRIDAY. NOVLMBIR 11, 1995.

Last night we received the Paris Journals of Tuesday ;
those of Monday also had arrived in the course of yester-
day. From the latter we have given extracts in another
oelumn. We subjoin the few paragraphs. of political
interest we find in the papers of Tuesday.
The private correspondence of the Journal des Debate
draws a melancholy, but, we fear, too true a picture of the
state of the Peninsula. The Apostolic party have now the
unlimited command of public affairs, and it is to be appre-
hended will frightfully abuse the power they possess.
"f he overthrow and expulsion of M. Ze A appears to have
been wholly an intrigue of their hatching. According to
the journals of the South of France, which, from their
preximity, have the best means of information, the success
of the ascendant faction was achieved by an offer to re-
plenish the exhausted coffers of the Royal treasury. The
Memorial Bop-de:ale states the sum of about twenty-five
millions of teals (about 230,0001.) as the amount offered
by the Clergy for the dismissal of M. ZEA ; but the
I ndicutear de Bordeaux, with more probability, asserts that
the price of the negotiation wu forty millions of
reels (about 400,000/.). 11'e can easily conceive that, in
the present distrtss of the Spanish Court, such offers would
hardly be rejected. If the moderate party could have
given more, M. ZEa might yet have kept his portfolio.
King Fsantoanp had no dislike either to him personally,
of to his political system; but neither had he any affec-
tion for one or the other. Spain, therefore, la again aban-
doned to the wildest excesses of party rage. I: seems that
the first act of the new Minister, the Duke de I'INFAN•
IADO, was to hold a council to consider the propriety of
(whin upon the French Governinent to withdraw its
troops. So intent are the Apostolic party on the removal
of these foreigners, whose presence restrains their fury,
that it is stated they have even offered to raise, upon the
revenues of the Church, a sum sufficient to liquidate the
claims of France for the expenses of FERDINAND'S deliver-
aace from the Cortes.

The Courrier Franrais affirms positively that vessels of
Agar are building at Marseilles, for the service of the Vice-

- -
roy of EGYPT. The keel of a frigate of 44 guns is laid.
The Marquis de Ltertoir, lately returned 6om Alexan-
dria, superintends the progress of these preparations for the
extermination of the unhappy Greeks.

PARIS. Nov. &
Scarcely way the declaration of the Companies, who offered only
76 for the liaytien loan, known on the 'Change at London,
when the American nix per cents. fell to 72; and since the luau
has been contracted for, HO is asked, at 24 per cent. premium.
The news which we find to.day in the Qtuiiiiiiemire, of the for.
mation of two new regiments for the service of the Colonies, is
entirely false. A new regiment of the line (the Slit) has just em-
barked. for the Antilles, amidst cries of Vire k Rai !
The fall which the public funds have experienced at Amsterdam
is attributed to a project for a loan of fifty tnillions of florins,
which the Government of the Netherlands is supposed to intend
to contract, for the service of the Colonies. The speech on the
opening of the Session seems to indicate some measure of this
kind.

We learn from Cnrunna, says the FcitUte de Metre, that •
dreadful hurricane has done great damage on the coasts of Galicia.
A vessel, on board of which the French Consul in that city had
embarked, has totally perished.
According to our eorrripondence from Germany to-day, the last
letters from Constantinople say, tbat M. Minriacky, the Russian
Chargé d'Affaires, has had great trouble to calm the agitation of
the Reis Etrendi and the Members of the Divan, when they learnt
by despatches from the Hospodar at Jury, that the Emperor
Alexander was going to visit all the coasts of the Black Sra, and
afterwards to review the Russian Army of the South, as well as the
divisioe in Bessarabia, under General Sabaniett.

',From the j011,X41 des Debate of Tuesday.]
(PRIVATE CO RRRRR ONDENCI.)
MADRID, Ovr. 27.
The Ministers went to the Escurial yesterday morning, to hold
their first Council under the Presidency of the Duke de Flnfantatio,
and returned this evening with him. To-day it is reported that the
nature of this sudden meeting was an affair of the highest import-
ance, and which, if it is true, is of a nature oot only to change the
face of the relations of the Peninsula with France, but also to pro-
duce an essential alteration in those of the first rank amongst them.
selves.

It is asserted then, that the Duke de l'lnfantado convened his
colleagues, In °tiler to propose that France should bevequhed to
withdraw her troops, and that the Apostolic party, from whom
this proposition proceeded, foreseeing that the impossibility of pay.
fog France what is due to her would be objected to their project,
have previously framed a plan of raising Ow amount required upon
their revenues.

However this ma 7 be, the Intramontane party are firmly resolved
to get rid of the trench troops; and, for that purpose, they will
borrow, on their revenue of 120 millions of francs, such rums as
may be necessary, should the question be reduced to one purely
of cash.

Alarm is general among all persons belonging to the moderate
party. General Crux and the Count d'Espagne, Reehaeo, the Su-
perintendent of Police, several Ilembers of the Consultative Junta,
and, in general. all the individuals who supported If. 'Lea, receive
every day anonymous threatening letters.

We bare received the Brussels Papers of Wednesday.
They are wholly without interest. The following para-
graph is from the Austrian Observer:—

VIENNA, OCT. 29.
The latest accounts front Presburg state, that the rheumatic
fever with which his Majesty has been attacked has considerably
abated, and all the symptoms give reason to expect his Majesty's
speedy recovery. His Majesty had slept well the last two nights.

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 extracts to-day. On the I,6th of
August the House of Representatives of the Banda Oriental
assembled at Plorida, issued a declaration of independence,
in which they expresriy renounce all obedience to the King
lof Poarucat., 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 be sent to the national Congress. The
Patriots had been successful in every encounter with the
Brazilian troops : and there seemed to be no doubt at
Buenos Ayres that they would be fully competent to
maintain their independence. ‘Vliat effect the union of
the Banda Oriental with the States of La Plata may have
on the Brazilian Government it remains for time to de-
velope. We hope, however, that Don PL.Dge has been
persuatled to relinquish his pretensions, which are not
better founded with respect to Monte Video than they were
with respect to Chuquisaca.
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 on the 30th of August.

Yesterday we received Calcutta Papers to the 12th of
June. They contain despatches from Brigadier-General
MACDEAN and Commodore Hay ES, giving an account of
the operations by land and water, which terminated in the
occupation of the island and town of Ramree, in the Arra-
can river. It appears that the enemy had evacuated the
island, after having, with great judgment, constructed de-
fences, in contemplation of being attacked. Quiet posses-
sion was taken of the island, in the name of the British.
Commodore IlavEs speaks highly of the value and im-
portance of this capture, as well as of the town and fort
of Sandowey, which were subsequently taken possession
of by the same forces, without any opposition from the
enemy. - - - - -

Atioverture for peace, it will be seen, had been made
by two Chiefs enjoying the confidence of the King of Avg.
Some English gentlemen were also on their way from Urn-
tnerapoora, with proposals direct from the golden-footed
Monarch. We may therefore expect that the war would
be concluded at once by the submission of the enemy.

The Times of yesterday has a very curious article on the
subject of Mr. Iltsitssos's late visit to Paris, which,
although evidently manufactured in Printing House-
square, it lays very gravely before the public, as if it had
actually arrived in an envelope from head-quarters, and
from a Correspondent too, who, judging from the minute-
ness of his detail, must have had the power of placing
himself at any tin)* invisibly, either at the elbow of
Citaituts X, or in the pocket of M. De Viurtr.

" A Paris Correspondera," says the nmes, " with whose
means of knowledge toe are saiiefed, and on whose veraeily we can
rely, has informed us of the total failure of all attempts, at present,
to form a commercial treaty with France. The main object of
Mr. Huskiunn's missiun has therefore been as completely from.
trated as if be had asked for the cession of Bordeaux, Brest, or
Marseilles."

Indeed ! On what authority, we will ask, Las it ever
been affirmed, that Mr. Husaissow went to Paris on any
such mission ? Au affair of such vital importance to the
manufacturing interests of both kingdoms, as the establish-
ment of a commercial treaty, is not likely, we should
think, to be undertaken by an English Minister, without
the matter having been at all officially adverted to, either
in Parliament or out of it, and without our merchants being
at all previously consulted as to arrangements, in the policy of
which they have so deep an interest, and in the result of which
their all may be at stake. Such solemn conventions are not
usually entered into with so little preface, and with such
careless preparation. No man is better qualified than Mr.
II sa MON to adjust an international compact in matters
of trade, on terms mutually beneficial to both kingdoms,
but he is the last man to undertake such a missiosi:without
having well weighed, beforehand, the chance of being
foiled in the objects of it. He is the last am to propose

such stipulations as would be no more likely to be acceded
to than if he had " asked for the cession of Brest or
Marseilles." He was too well acquainted with the parties
he had to deal with, to expose either himself or his mission
to any such rejection. No on• knows better than Mr.
Huss:22ox, that the stability of any commercial treaty
must depend on the benefits to be derived from it by each
party; and he would not, therefore, propose such terms as
would expose him to return on a sleeveless errand.
We have next a detail of the advantages under which
Husstssot: entered on his mission :

"lie was known to bo our Trade Minister, and a great authority
00 all questions of trade; and haring made a long stay in France
at gi former but less distinguished period of his life, he was well
acquainted with the French character, and could the more easily
address himself to French prejudices. Mr. Iltramslos availed
himself of all theme advantages—and, ashia miss was intended,
in the first instance, rather to sound the Court the Ministry
lib
than to make any distinct propositions, he was led to ascer-
tain their bias, without alarming their interests or their jealousy."

Why, how is this? Mr. Hesstssow was just before
charged by this Paris correspontlenwf the Times, with
whose means of knowledge they are Angled, and on whose
veracity they can rely, with having " totally failed in all
his attempts to form a COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH
Fan NC 6," and the British public are now to learn, from the
same veracious authority, that Mr.llttsK tSSON " went rather
to sound the Coital. and Me MINISTRY Hula to make any
distinct propositions !" On what authority is Mr. Beasts-
sox so held up to his country and to Europe as making
himself the instrument of so disingenuous and degrading
a purpose? How is it that he is to be first represented as hav-
ing been intrusted by the British Uoveniment to negotiate a
commercial treaty with France, in which he totally. jailed,
while, in the sante instant, be is stated to have gone there
without intending to make say distinct propositions, but
artfully to sound the French Ministry—to avail himself of
his previous knowledge of the French character, to address
himself to French prejudiecs—and " to as-certain their bias
without alarming. their interests .4- their, jealousy !" Is this
an errand for a British statesman ? Is it thus an upright
and honourable British Whister is to be made by a public
journalist to play the counterfeit, and to present himself to
the French Government as authorised to negotiate a commer.
cial treaty, with no other view than secretly to get at the
policy by which their Councils were guided, and to profit
by whatever intelligence their unguarded confidence might
enable him to turn to account?

To give this pretended private information some stamp
of authenticity, the writer affects to enter into detail : he is
as minute in his relation as if he had been all the time at
Mr. HussISSON'S elbow ; in fact, every thing that passes,
whether with his MOST CHRISTIAN MAJESTY, or his first
Minister, is all within the sight and hearing of this Times
Reporter :
"From the KING he met with the most kind reception, and the
most attentive hearing, but swilling more. Fur every matter of
business his slstEsor r continually referred him to M. DE V/L.
LELE, in whom he appeared to place implicit reliance, and who
appeared to enjoy his entire nonti&nce. Ilia expressions of MAI-
, gation to the British people for their services to himself and his
family never terminated in any suggestion for a more beneficial and
lees restricted commercial intercourse. fil. DE VILLELE, on the
other hand, though apparently cordial in the expression of his
feelings on all questions of I.ttropean politics. put himself in on
attitude of defence whenever the commercial relations of the two
countries came on the carpet, and acted with as much caution as if
he had been playing a losing genie with a skilful antagonist. Be
spoke of the prejudices of his countryinen—of the difficulty ef ad-
justing the different interests of the classes of manufacturers and
agriculturists to a new- system—and of the opposition he might
meet with in the Chamber at a time wheu lie hall so wady other
affairs of importance to manage. In short, the end of their con-
ferences generally amounted to this--that nothing at present mold
be done.'

Now there is nothing in all this that,might not be de-
scribed as passing in Paris, without the writer's being out
of the sound of St. Paul's clock. It requires no very long
line of sagacity to fathom the sentiments of the French
Government, were any negotiation to be actually set on foot
for a COMMERCIAL Treaty. They would grant no privi-
leges to (heat Britain, in the affair of buying and telling,
on any thing like liberal terms of reciprocity. They have
no notion of any such union of interests, nor would they
make the slightest sacrifice to consolidte them. Whatever
they did would be done in the jealous spirit of mercantile
monopoly ; by this spirit would M. DE VILLELE be go-
verned, and the KING would be governed by M. De ViL-
cm. England at no alight cost reinstated the BocanoNs,
and for this service the French Ministers would profess
themselves most grateful, but they would not be disposed
to gush their gratitude so far as to encourage British manu-
factures. All this, and much more, might have been told
without the fabrication of any private intelligence, and
without traducing to the world either die conduct of Me.
llessissox or the character of the British Government.

CITY, THURSDAY EVINIXO,

Transactions to a considerable extent took place in Con-
sols. The price declined materially from the commence-
ment to the close of the Market. At the opening, Consols
were 873, buyers, and after fluctuating during the day
between the intermediate prices, they closed at I, sellers.
Some large sales were pressed towards the conclusion of the
day. An attempt was made to revive the Pruth story, and
other reports, equally improbable and idle, were set on foot,
as is generally the case when prices arc depressed. Ex-
chequer Bills were Is. to 3s. premium.
'1 here still continues great inertness in the Foreign and
Share Markets, and this state of things was of course not
amended by the decline of Consols. Greek Bonds were
231, and Old Spanish ditto, 163. South American Secu-
rities are also unaccountably depressed. If they were ever
worth holding—nobody doubts their intrinsic value—surely
they were never worth so much at any former period since
the creation of these Stocks in the English Market, and yet
we find Colombian Bonds reported at 72 13, Mexican Scrip
at 9 f f discount, and Guatemala ditto at 51 discount.
Brazilian Scrip was 9 13f discount. Russian Bonds were
911 for Money, and for the Account.
A few bargains were done in Anglo-Mexican Shares at
2S In, in the Bolivar Shares at IT, and in those of the
United Mexican Company at 11 104.
The sales of Sugar were limited in extent and languid in
price. Coffee also went or heOly, but the quotation re-
mained firm.

A Lisbon packet arrived yesterday, bringing letters from
that capital to the 24t4i October, but their contents are
wholly unimportant to the public.
The Astxtrian Observer, of Octo:yer 29. has the conti-
nuation of the Journal of the siege of Miss()!alight from
the Bth to the 17th of September. Nothing important had
taken place. From the accounts of prisoners it appeared
that the Turks were in distress for provisions, that great
despondency prevailed, and that many Albanians deserted.
The latest accounts state that they were preparing to spring
a mine under Bastion Bozzari, and intended at the Rattle
time to make another general attack, in which 2,000
Turks, speciall7 paid for the purpose, were to take the
lead. Such was the information given by a prisoner.
The Hague Gazette contains an appeal to the inhabit-
ants of the Northern provinces of the kingdom of the Ne-
therlands, to Airtn a fund for the support of the Greeks in
their struggle for their independence.
The brig Columbian, Captain Geddes, made the pas-
sage from Lima to Pernambuco in the short space of forty-
nine (lays. It is worthy of remark, that letters forwarded
by this vessel reached Liverpool in 104 days front Lima,
via Pernambuco.

Lieutenant William Noton, Adjutant of the !twine
Battalion, who is stated to have been the only passenger
on board the Ogle Castle, landed at St. Ilelena on the 17th
of September, for medical adrift. On rejoining the ship,
hie state of health was such ttiathis recovery was deemed
past hope. It is generally thought, 'from what is stated in
private letters, that he could cot hare survincd to reach
