LONDON,
fRIDAY, Dacamssa .6, me.

Dr.•Jonteson he. observed, -on a certain -occa-
sion, that " whatever may be the object, there is
something despicable in a trick." 'ls it possible to
conceive the Holy Alliance to have descended to a
trick—aye, and a trick for the lowest and most
execrable of all objects ? Let os try the possi-
bility. The Holy Alliance would have put•dowu
the Spanish Revolution as promptly and as effee-
wally as they have put down the Neapolitan .Revo.
lotion—but they could not. They marched at once
against the child, and valorously extinguished its
puny -energies; the parent they have looked angry
at, complained of, bitterly abused, and filially
threatened. Is it from their love of justice and
their magnanimous sense of bosour that this re-
markable distinction has proceeded? The Revo-
lution of Spain preceded, and, in fact, occasioned

the IRevot of Naples. But ratlioNt Cele-
brated the uies of the latter Rests Oho nearly
two years a The preceding and causative Re-
volution is only uncrusheds bet unassailed up to
this hoar. id the bowels of the Holy Umpires
yearn with more tender and impatient fondness over
the errors of lovely little Naples ? And were their
affections for rough, untameable Spain. subject to
their sober discretion until now, when reflection and
u good conscience have awakened them to the calls
of high and solemn duty ? No doubt thin is the
true account of the eager rapidity with which
Naples was rescued from the grasp of the monster,
and of the t low and sullen movements for the de-
liverance of Spain. Yet ell men have not faith,
like the simple ones of the A'ew Times and the
Courier. We, confess our misgivings and unbelief.
lf, then, the. Holy Alliance abstained so long,
because of the .great strength of Spain, what advan-
tages does the present moment offer for an attack ?
Has Spain become weaker ? Have the Alliance
,become stronger? The entire annihilation of the
A rmy of the Faith, the vigorous but temperate
measures of the Cortes, and the constitutional en-1
thusisom of the people throughout Spain, must be
a sufficient answer to the former question. Ott the
other hand, it will hardly be contended that the
• violation of the Chatter in France, the military oc-
cupation • of Napless the progress of discussion iu
Ciermany, and the glorious struggles of the
Greeks, have ber4ed the cause of the Holy Al-
liance, extended thi /sive of the inonerchicalpriss-
ciple, of rendered •absnluie power amiable. Is it
the death of our late Minister for Foreign Alisits
that is to account for the rigour of the prudent Po-
tentates ? Perchance he was hostile to their de-
signs, as indirect and illiberal; sad his successor
has been so charmed by their magaificent projects,
sod the splendid humanity by which they are hal-
lowed, that he zealously advocates their desires.
Directly the reverie is the truth. When the Mar-
quis of LONDONDBIRY died. the Alliance de-
sponded—when Mr. CANNING succeeded, they
yielded themseslee op to despair. not every
man living say that this is only giving them credit
fur common observation and common sense ?
Now then fur the trick. When all hope of lighting
was abandoned, it was resolved to threaten. By in-
ducing France to seem eurger for war, snd by offer-
ing their approbation and support against the Spa-
nish Constitution, a mighty alarm would be spread
throughout Europe, the priests would preach, and
the Journals would publish every species of eulogy
on the Alliance, and of calumny upon the Constitu-
tion, and perchance—perchance—it is worth trying
—the last resource—perchance, the Cortes may be
frightened into concessiots and stipulations.
Hence the portentous preludes to alarm from Ve-
rona, the big rumours in Paris. the glorious gas-
conade of Treasury Journals, and the final decla-
ration of Congress. It will be said at once. that
this is not only a despicable but a sbortroighted
trick, for the failure of it cannot be concealed, and
must at once bring immeasurable contempt and in-
dignation on its pitiful Hatboro. But this is not
quite the fair view of the consequence. Sir Jolt's
Fulasiff never chewed more dexterity or impu-
dence in denying the real design, and evading a
fair conclusion, than the Knight* of the monarchical
principle. Should Spain make uoconcession, it is
easy to call a manly answer a concession; or if that
be impossible, nothing ran he simpler than to say,
" Oh! we were in a mistake; we thought the Royal
Fatuity in dangtr ; we rejoice that they are not,
and we see co necessity for ungrateful bloodshed."
It is quite beyoud our reach to enter into another
, object of all the rumours and alarms which hat
been insinuated if not directly imputed. It is,
that, in this difficult time of peace, the Ministers
of certain csruntries try their luck in the trickery
of stockjobbing. But this is monstrous—we will
not canvass its credibility or look into its unfathom-
able atrocity.

We cannot seriously believe that France is in-
fatuated enough to invade Spain. Can the silliest
emigrant who ever supplicated the Virgin, and be-
stowed execrations on the Revolution, suffer him-
self to think that all the Powers of Europe con
invest Louis XVIII with the means of victory
over Spain, which NAPOLSON wielded so skilfully
Surely the pretensions of NSPOLSOW were as plau-
sible in themselves, and as admissible in Spain, as
those of Lours. The Emperor proclaimed de-
struction to the Inquisition—the KING makes war
against the Coostitution. Bat we are enabled to
give BON APA ITV* own statement of his views, and
kis most striking account of his failure :

The Courier of yesterday pours forth that petty,
sandy, rapid current of loose words for which its
pagea are remarkable. " Nothing of freedom but
the name—principles that tend to *hake all allegi-
ance, and to unsettle all attachment to the mo-
narchical form of government".--these are the
Courier's apologetic terms for France. It is a
grievous pity that our rich Treasury cannot afford
inducement enough for a writer that should under-
stand the English language to advocate their
cause. This pretender to composition talks of
the name of freedom without the substauce, as
a nuisance to be put down by foreign inter.
terrine ; yet the wont evil arising from the nuis-
ance is, that It unsettles attachment to the mo.
narchical /firm of government. Let him, for
the credit of our Government, be sent to school,
and learn that " name" is as good a word as .6 form,"
and that " nothing of liberty but the name" is less
• nuisance than the " mona►chical form" of despo-
tism. In another paragraph, the spoiled and pert nun-
hug utters these words :—" The success of the Con-
stitutionalists, under the ferocious MINA, is con-
firmed." Now, really, we are disposed to believe
hut the uneducated scribe hesitated in darkling
doubt whether he should use " fearless" or " fero-
cious," and that he preferred the latter as more
expressive of consummate skill and undaunted
courage in Mins. It is a great pity that the
Treasury Journal should be so deformed., A cele-
brated northern writer did on one unhappy occasion
apply the epithet truculent to the best-hearted of
men, the late Mr. W. HITBRBAD; but the Courier
cannot be supposed to write under the influence of
such turbid and ruthless passions. The analogy
which the Courier has found between the Army
of the Faith sad the Greeks, arid between the
Spanish Constitution and the Ottoman Govern-
ment, surpasses all praise for in►ention. Again we
lament that so brilliant a genius should lack the
knowledge of word..

Extract of a letter. dated Valparaiso, August 7 :
Ini‘ Our naval commanders seem to be sent here
only to make money, and it must be admitted they
attend to their business : the American Commo-
dore also attends to his, which he seems to think is
to protect American trade. He has declared that
he considers the blockade of the coast, as decreed
by the Government of Lima, to be informal and
; and that he will protect American ships in
their intercourse with the coast, nor suffer any to
be seized if he can prevent it. The consequence
of this declaration is, that British merchants are
shipping their property to the coast in American
vessels, and seeking the protection under the flag
of the United States which their own does not if•
ford. An effectual interference on the part of the
British commanders was made in the instance of one
vessel seised at Lima—she ass released, and a large
amount of motley being on board was transhipped
to a vessel of war—being again seized, we do not
hear any further trouble was taken about her."
We merely state the following important fact for
the present, leaving it to our reader, to draw from
it the necessary consequences:—" Preparations are
now making in Toulon fur the reception of a fo-
feign fleet."—( Morning CAroniek.)
We understand that a number of vessels in the
different ports, ■nd particularly in the Rive►, are
nearly ready to avail themselves of the earliest in-
telligence of hostilities, and to sally oat, provided
with Spanish paper., against the French traders.—
( Hwang Paper.)

Some of the last E►ening Papers stated. that a
fleet of observation is to he seat into the Mediter-
renews: this is an error, founded probably on the
exertions now at last malting, to fit out a squadron
to act against the pirates in the western seas.
In the year 1669 no less than forty vessels, whose
burden was upwards of five thousand tons, were en-
gaged by the merchants of the port of Bideford,
Devon, to trade to Newfoundland; but this year
there is not a single vessel so employed.
From a.Pltiladelphia Paper of the 2d November:
A gentleman just arrived from St. Bartholo-
mew's reports, that during the month of September
several vessels had errierd at that place from differ-
ent arts of the United Slates, each having •boot
twenty ,passengers, mostly Creoles and Negroes;
abet being some time in port they commenced re
cruising men, issued proclamations, and avowed
their intention to revolutionise Poets Rios, of which
information was given to the Governor. In conse-
quence of which several persons were •nested,
amongst whom are two merchants, on suspicion of
being concerned in the above expedition. The yes•
eels had left St. Bartholomew's with the excep-
tion of one schooner, which was Seised bs the
firoveroor."

The various statements relative to the forthcom-
ing tragedy at Covent-garden we believe to be
generally incorrect. It was written four yenta since
for this theatre. and the two leading characters were
allotted to Miss O'NxtLl. and Mr. MACIEAOY.
Upon the retirement of that highiy-gifted actress
it was withdrawn. and has since been withheld by
the author, in the expectation of Miss F. H.
KELLY'S attraction, to whom the berouse is now
consigned. Green-roona criticism is bold iis anti-
cipating even more complete success to her repre-
sentation of this character than to her excellent
Juliet. The scene of the tragedy is laid in France,
and the subject turns upon the civil wars which
desolated that country after the massacre of ST.
BARTHOLOMEW.

When Lord ERSKINE mode his defrost at the bar,
his agitation almost overcame him, and he was just
going to sit down : " at that moment," said he, "'I
thought I felt my little children togging at my
gown, and the ides roosed me to an exertion of
which 1 did not think myself edpable."

Having copied from a Morning Paper the para-
graph alluded to in the following notice, we supply
the explanation ulso :—" A certain, Morning Paper
made another notable discovery yesterday, quite in
ih own way, not too mach encumbered with the
matter of fact, in an article which told us•that the

The celebrated whip about which so much has
been said, and which was awarded to E. L.
CHARLTON, Esq. is arrived at Lotlited Park,
and is placed among the numerous trophies
which belong to its present worthy owner. It
is of very sutique appearance, but by no means
" a splendid trophy." The handle, which is
very heavy, is of silver. with a ring at the eint
of it for • wrist-hand, which is made of the
mane of Eclipse. Tile upper part is like all tithe'
whips, except the lash, which is made of the tail of
Eclipse. It iv reported now to be the ideuticul
whip which CHARLES 11. (not Gaosea II.) wait
in the habit of nding with, and which he presented
to some Nobleman whose arms it bears, as being
the owner of the best horse in England. This
gave rise to the challenge which for many years pro-
moted admirable sport on the•turf, till his present
MAJESTY won it with Astrid, in the year 1787, in
whose possession it continued till Mr. CHARLTON
challenged for it this autumn, with his celebrated
horse Mosier Henry. If possible, we shall present
our readers with a foe simile of it on a future oc-
casion, with some account of the arms, that they
may ascertain who was the Nobleman to whom it
was originally given.—(Hereford lomat)

Lost night the opera of Guy Maimering was per-
fornied to a crowded audience. Mr. BIAHAN ep.
peered in the character of Henry Bertram, and in.
traduced the two favourite songs of the " Last
words of Marnsion," and "Loge's yowl Dream,"
both of which he gave in a strain of enchanting
melody. " Scots who ha'," can now hardly be
ceinsidefed on introduction, it has been so loag also-
fisted with this opera, end so universally admired.
Miss Poesy as Julia Mannerly, and Mrs. Mia-
mi as Lacy Bertram, gave general satisfaction.
Dominic. Sampson was a difficult character for Mr.
HASLET to attempt. It is a favourite with two
*tasters, who have made impressions not to be easily
removed. His countenance possesses neither the
pedantic mecum of the one, nor the comic gravity
of the other. RATNER', Dandle Dinmont, if we
erfeetit i little overdoing at his tint view of Meg
Inert!tier, is a most excellent performance.
After the opera a new farce, entitled Old sad
Young, was presented for the first time. Its chief
merit, tusked its sole object, consists in affording an
opportrenity- fur displayieg the versatility of that
aserptieleggirl, " little CLAIte FSEIREft." Her plot,
if an It may he called, is this :—Mr. Wilton, a
godly, infirm, precise old bachelor, and admirably
tiersorsated by Mr. TEM, having been early in
life crowd iseloee, enjoys a life of single blessed-
ness In the delightful regions of Richmond. His
next of kin is a beautiful niece, who ha., contrary
to his consent, =tarried' en bike" of the name of
memlway, who meats at Lisbon. According to
she established and long.cherished custom of
each wayward old gentlemen, he considers dis-
obedience to hie will • crime of too great enor-
mity ever to be forgiven, and for snotty years he
holds so communication with her •r her husbend.
However, as he descends the vale of years, and his
infirmitira press upon hint, he makes some inquiries
after his niece; and by mine strange mishap he is
informed that she is the mother of ten beautiful
children, sod in great distress. The old gentle-
man's heart relents, sod be resolves to have the
whole family home to live with hieiond accordingly
writes for them; but it &urines' that instead of ten,
his niece brings home ouly sae child, a daughter.
In order to deceive the uncle, whose heart is fixed
upon the ten children, and to humour his whim,
little Matilda (Miss Ftlllialt) personates the charac-
ters of several tittle boys, her supposed brothers,
and plays such tricks sod mates such disorder in
the house, that when the old gentleman is ultimately
oudeceived, and finds in reality that Matted of nine
noisy boys, there is only one quiet and interesting
child, nothing can exceed his satisfaction. In order
to effect this consummation, so desirable, Mite
ristigit appears in a variety of characters and
dresses, after the manner of Mr. MATIIISWI, and
Ames off with eclat in all. It affords a wider
tinge for her juvenile talents than Little Pickle,
bet the character does not contain so mail effec-
tive poiats, nor are the tricks so ingeniously con-
trived. However, her successful performance ions
entirely new character, at least proves Ibis, that the
extraordinary impressions she creates are not (he

The new opera of Maid Marian was repeated
last night, and the petformers having become wore
perfectly familiarised with their respective parts, it
went of somewhat more lightsoniely than on its
gesproduelion. The trilling alterations that have
boss made have not gone far towards its improve-
most. Of the dialogue—that portion of it, at
Wit, which was extracted from the novel of the
MIN name—there was little or no cause to com-
plain ; retrenchment therefore in that quarter was
little to be desired. But, for the music, it is, as
we more than hinted before, in some parts by ao
means of an agreeable quality, and yet nut a
single note—not one solitary crotchet, or quaver,
will Mr. litenop, in his goodness, withhold. And
accordingly, the audience being considerably less
numerous, and of a more genuine play-going cha-
racter, was not so lavish of applause ma on the first
night, but made a just and proper discrimination,
by bestowing it only on those performers whose
effort. realty deserved it, and on those passages of
the drama and those pieces of the musical composi-
tion which were most entertaining and worthy of
notice. The mug. " Let us seek the yellow shore,"
and the trauma, " To arms! 'tis Freedom calls
*pots IA? Brace," by Miss M. TRU, and her duet
with Mester LONCIIIURST, were of that description,
and obtained the honour of an encore.
On the coticlusiun of the opera, and after the au-
eouncement of Kamm and Juliet for this evening,
Mr. Assort apologised for the inability of Mrs.
CHATTIRLET, through sudden indisposition, to up.
pear ie the afterpiece, The Two Pages of Fre-
derick the Great, sod craved the indulgence of the
audience fur Miss BeriubsoliT, who had, from the
shortness of the notice, but little time for the
study of the part. The incident which gave ocean
woo foe the change was, no doubt, exceedingly to
be reretted; but, el far as Alias BBAIIIioNT was
concerned, the ease, vivacity, gracefuluesa, and pro-
priety with which she sustaiired the character thus
unexpectedly thrown into her hands, rendered all
apology supes (Nona.

A Paper of yesterday informs its readers, that Gene-

modious retreat is the leu surprising, as we find
him described in the Gazetteers as measuring seve-
ral Spanish miles in circumference. This reminds
us of a remark made by a maiden lady of strong
Auti-Galliean prejudices, who was passionately

Morning Paper, somewhat lax in her geography.
