LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUART 9, 1991.

The French Pipers of kfonelay possess little interest ;
the official part of the filwaitetir is taken up with a
series of domestic ordinanct., of no moment beyond those

shores where they apply. In its non-4ficial columns
thee is an article, under date from Madrid, of the Nth,
which states, that Ferdinand's Government, being obliged
to giro its whole attention to the affairs of the Peninsula,
had relaxed in appearance its preparations against the
. .

colonies. " Some persons (it adds) pretend that answers
" from foreign Cabinets are expected before operations
" beyond the ocean are concerted." Other accounts, how-
ever, from that capital to the tithe contained in the
Bayonne letter, which will be found to ear columns, state,
that the expedition for some time preparing in the port of
Cadiz, consisting of the Asia and the remains of the
Spaniels navy, were to sail between the 11th and 13th fur
Lima. We imagine, however, that the last accounts from
Peru, and the detail of Canterac's complete defeat, will
act as an embargo on this expedition ; and we think it more
then likely it will not sail for the present. As these
ships, however, would fonn an accession to the resources
of the Independents, and be sure to fall into their hands,
oe thine of Lord ('oehraue, we regret their delay from
the shores of the New World. The Foreign Cabinets, we
fancy, have had their plan of operations respecting these
Colonies sadly disjointed by the proceedinggs of our Ca-
binet, and the recent declaration from the United States,
and may now bid farewell to " all the pride, pomp, and
circumstance" of Trans-Atlantic war. The Moaiieur, in
its non-official part, also has an important paragraph on the
subject of the Constitutional loans. It states, " there is a
" report that the loans of the Cortes will be recognized
" wide some modification. This recognition (it adds) is
" deemed indispensable to maintain credit." Imperious
necessity, we all along thought, woukl ultimately compel the
unprincipled Ferdinand to recognise these loans; but we
shall be much surprised, if any tardy and modified recognition
of the sort will now avail, to restore the creditof that degraded
tlovernmeht, or succeed in obtaining a new loan, either in
this country or France. A scanty supply, to satisfy the
craving wants of the Tyrant and his partisans, had ar-
rived, it appears, in the capita', from Andalusia, on the
Isth ; the sum is said to have amounted to about three
millions of reals, which was probably supplied chiefly by the
Clergy; but will not (as the account adds) pay one-eighth
of the pressing demands on the bankrupt Government.
'though the amnesty has been so confidently proclaimed by
the Etoilr, as ready for the 30th, its promulgation, even still,
appears uncertain. A majority of the Council of Castillo
are said to be opposed to it. Addresses also were pouring in

_ .
from the fanatical party against its concession ; and as Fer-
dinand's own feelings were known to be opposed to it, it
was thought piobeige that the long-expected Deeree would
still be withheld, in spite of the remonstrances of the foreign
Ministers. Though the war with Spain for some inontlis

has closed, we find that 12,000 Spanish prisoners arc yet
shut up in the serious " depots" of France—a different fate
(as the account from which we take it states) from that which
was promised them before Ferdinand quitted Cadis for
the French camp. The property of the refugee Spa-
niards was all under confiscation ; and if any returned *try
and avoid beggary to themselves and their families, they were
immediately arrested and thrust into dungeons. The pri-
sons too were still crowded with human tenants, against
whom prosecutions were proceeding with the greatest se-
verity ; all individuals partaking in the slightest degree of
liberal opinions were insulted by the furious Serviles in the
streets, and dared not quit their homes after the were bus,
or evening bell, without the dangers of simassination. A
melancholy account, under the head of Marseilles, is given
of the deplorable situation of the Spanish officers andsoldiers
in France, who, contrary to the capitulation under which
they surrendered, arc subject to all the horrors of complete
indigence. The refugees of the Faith, previous to the war,
were differently Mated. The Spanish officers had ap-
pealed to the Dugan( of France—the modern Orlando—
against this treatment, and the violation of the treaty
made by Molitor. This is appealing from Caiaphu to
Herod, and will be of little avail. Angouleme has no
bawds of compassion for Liberals in distress. The people
or Marseilles, much to their credit, had entered into
voluntary contributions to relieve the wants of the tm-
happy Spaniards. What • load of wretchedness and suf-
fering has not this atrocious war dragged down on Spain
aid its people ! But Angouletne has been feasting in
Paris, and this ought to content the starving Spaniards.
Can they feel want, while the " Hero" of France revels
in Parisian luxury

Lisbon Papers to the 21st reached our office yesterday.
These wretched thiscitts of despotism contain nothing of
sly interest from that country, and are occupied with a
ling tirade against masonry and its votaries, to whose
mysterious influence they impute 1/on Pedro's dynasty
in the New World, and the separation from Portugal of
the Brasile. A new l'agLoom°, in the person of an
individual of the name of sloniz Barrett), is brought for-
ward, whose gut-up confession of masonry, and all its

consequences, is extracted from some wretched rag called
the Padre Ammo, said to be printed in a garret of this
city, and subsequently circulated through Lisbon. This
veritable document is entitled, " A Defence of Citizen
.Boininjos Alves Branco Itlonia Barreto (a Dun with five
itaines), against an imaginary crime, for which he was
unjustly sentenced by the Judge (who has only two names
and a half), Francisco de Franca Miranda." As the crime
of Citizen Dusninjos is stand to be imaginary, we fancy
his confession is pretty much of the same character: both
are probably the production of the compiler of the Padre
A MAIO. and have no other foundation. The Italian Fag-
Lostro, when all his schemes were exhausted, and he
was caged by his Holiness the Pope, in Adrian's Tomb,
commonly called the Castle of St. Angelo, made a full
amfesisiou of his former practices, and renounced Ina-
(wary as impious and heretical ; all his crimes, includ-
ing Lis league with La Motte, and the conspiracy of the
diamond necklace, were contritely imputed by him iclely
to masonry sal its principle;. The genuine defence ofd

the worthy Sitar Monis Barreto imputes, in the ISM way.
the independents of Brazil solely to the ‘! Craft." But k
is en utter waste of time to comment on such trash an this.
It is now plain, without any sort of mystery, masonic st
otherwise, that degraded Portugal has lost the Brasile far
ever. Her Gazetteers may impute it to " masonry" if
they please, but not one stone of the edifice of her former
ascendancy remains, end the state " Masons" of Lisbon
will never be able to construct it again, let them labour hew
they may. They may try to flatter " Don Pedro" by
calling him " August Prince," and impute his utifilial die-
affection to the wiles of this sect, but they " waste their
breath in vain." The Brazilian Emperor has enjoyed the
,sweets of power with great complacency, and appears in no
dirposition whatever to make any surrender of it to his con-
sistent father " Don John."

The new Austrian Loan, contracted by that despotic
Government to discharge, with British money, a small
part inked of the monstrous debt due to this country,
was brought into circulation in the money market on Wed-
nesday ; and the terms were announced by the contractors,
under which the subscribers are to participate in this new
continental bargain. The takers of this loan are all most
respectable ; if anything could add to the character of any
monied engagement, their names and well-earned influence
would do so : but we are opposed to the principle of these
new contracts altogether. Amid the multitude of foreign
loans contracted of late years, this is the only ono whose
produce is likely to remain in this country : millions be-
side have been contributed here, never, we fear, to return.
The present debt of the House of Hapsburgh-Lorraine to
'Cheat Britain, principal and interest, amounts, we believe,
to near twenty millions sterling (an immense sum, even in
this age) ; and out of this, with the enormous possessions
of this rapacious power, and the plunder of Italy in
her hands, she generously consents to pay, with the
money of our own contributors, about one-eighth of
her entire debt! and even this concession bas been
I wrung from the Vienna Cabinet by slow degrees, and
with great difficulty. Yet the money was advanced to
Austria when she was fighting in Italy and Carinthia for
'actual existence—when her veteran warrior, Wurmier,
whose head was bleached by sixty campaigns, was defeated
,sad captive at Mantua—when Alvinai, with his forces,
was destroyed—when a great part of the hereditary pos-
sessions of Austria were in the power of her active and
determined enemy, and the then youthful Napoleon was
advancing through Styria and Carniola rapidly on the
the t'of which as only saved by the
radical, roccupa ron w
hasty preliMinaries of Leoben. It was then—neat thirty
years since—a considerable portion of this loan was ad-
vanc d by Mr. Pitt; and at the close of eight years of pro-
found peace, Austria, glutted with possessions and plunder,
reluctantly comes forward to repay two millions and a half
Aif this debt with our own money. Why has she not dedi-
lestei the revenues of oppressed Lombardy—every sequin of
which is sent off to Vienna—for this purpose? At the gates of
every town through the Milanese, as we ourselves have
witnessed, ht .r douaniers are stationed, who exact a tribute
from even a basket of eggs. The revenues of Italy went
all expended by Napoleon on the country, as his vast and
imperishable works will testify to long-succeeding ages.
Austria drains its resources with a rapacious hand, and
transmits every ducat to Vienna. Far frees skewing any
gratitude for our assistance, its Cabinet has • proscribed
British trade in every possible way, and fettetstlit by- the
most proscriptive tuifs. The facility with which feaslgn
loans to an immense amount have latterly been bad in this
country, we confess, surprises us ; doubly so, iiken we con-
sider the teal disposition and feelings of diorneers of
the Continent to Great Britain. The geetritilnlicemeni
for embarking capital in this carrel ways `tits'
in-
creased rate of interest ; but what security would
there be for the discharge of a single shilling, prinei-
psi or interest, of these loans, if the uncertain: ~and
hollow peace that now exists were dispelled to-tnerrow ?
Then powers--Austria. Repots, Prussia and Fraser—
ate bound together, by an express and understood league,
against the greatness and Institutions of this country.
They would sound the trumpet of hostility to-morrow, ;f
their resources were commensurate with their inclination.
The feeling that prevails through their Cabinets is nolo-
rions ;—tbe least observant traveller has remarked and re-
corded it. The poverty of the three confederated Powers
is the only check that controls them : why then should they
be supplied with resources by us? Why, with our bow-
-1 ledge of their disposition, should we furnish them with
money and weapons that will yet be assuredly employed
against ourselves? ltussia would have poured her bar-
barous hordes into the Turkish provinces twelve months
since, hail she funds to supply them, or been able to pay
the Jews of Poland for their contracts. Austria, also,
looks for a share of this rich booty ; and both are now
quiescent only from want of means. Prussia, notwith-
standing its family affinity, looks with an avaricious
eye to Hanover, where she will match ,her armies on the
first rupture. As to Frame, .the return of the Bourbons
bas done nothing to ditnitrish the old hereditary enmity, if
that country; and she only wants a navy to powies!at
once on Cuba and the shores of Scattit AtueritSPl'Naples,
too, is dependent on the nod of Austria; and Denmark,
to whom we slso lent money; would probably join the
northern lagers The pence now existing through the
Continent is, therefore, a hollow and uncertain one: its
only stay is present necessity ; it kr, like the forty der'
rest front war and murder between the feudal berms of
former days, which interposing churchmen obtained, and
which was then called " the truce of God !" when the
parties rested on their weapons only to obtain strength far
new encounters. There is no man of any observation,
who has been on the Continent lately, who is not con-
vinced the elements of hostility to this country are fast
gathering. Should a war break out, what becomes of our
loans? They will dissolve away—
.. And, like the baseless fabric of a vision,
" Leave not a wreck behind."

The affairs of Ireland, it is likely, will come under dis-
cussion early in the ensuing Session of Parliament; when
we shall hope to see such measures adopted as may tend to
heal the divisions, and alleviate the condition, of that ill-
fated portion of the United Kingdom. There is no neces-
sity to waste time in lung and laboured inquiry into the
can.a•s of the miseries which atTliet it. The causes are
well known. The meuuns by which they might be re-
moot are well known also. What then are the obstacles,
it will be asked, that stand in the way of their application?
To what an interesting disclosure would an honest answer
to this question lead ! It is in the practical application of
the principles of reform in Ireland, that the whole diffi-
culty lies. Emancipate the Catholics, we would say, from
the political disabilities to which you subject them, and
which arc alike at war with Christianity and with com-
mon sense. In an ir.stant the patriarchs of the Irish peerage
arc in alarm : the 0, Mottos sinecnrists can never, with pa-
lend their apostolic ear to Catholic Claims. The
leading families of the Orange faction must have their em-

pre of influence" one and indivisibie j" they can &kr no
unhallowed band to strike the rock from whence gush
sal the sprhigs of patronage. In all this, Ireland
ii
still governed by the enlightened opinions of the tenth ree-
ntry. But will this party never be convinced, that it
is most unsafe, at this time of day, to set the dictates
of reason and the demands of justice at defiance? Can
they foolishly fancy themselves safe, while the great ma-
jority are rattling their chain, in their ears, and whetting
in their very sight the weapons of vengeance? They may
depend upon it that the interests of the community will
at last find their level, and that a Government which has
not these interests for its ground-work, has no real security
for that allegiance on which alone it can stand. The
Manners, the Bridgwater:, all the aristocratic leaders
that engross the influence of Government and the dis-
penuat!ons of office—these will be in open rebellion against
the restoration of the mass of their fellow-subjects in
Ireland, to their just and equal rights. But we concur in
sentiment completely with Peter Plynaley, when, in one al
his shrewd and sensible letters to his Brother Abraham:, he'
says—" To a short period of disaffection among the
Orangemen I confine 1 should not much object; my love
of poetical jnstice does carry me as far as that.: one mum-
mer's whipping—only one; the thumb-screw for a short
season ; a little light easy torturing between Lady-day and
Michaelmas. I have malice enough to ask this slight
atonetnent for the groans and shrieks of the poor Catholics,
unheard by any human tribunal, but registered by the
Angel of God against their trotestant and enlightened op-
.
When the whole influence and patronage of Govern-
ment becomes, ms in Ireland the patrimony of a particular
elate, the natural and inc4itable consequence is, and al-
ways will be, that jobs and tithes of every kind will pre-
vail, and will multiply beyond measure; justice will be
defrauded everywhere, and thecharacter of the nation dis-
honoured ; places will be created, not according to the ne-
cessities of those who are governed, but of those who go-
vern. The latter have no other object than the providing
for their own supremacy ; they have none whom they
care to conciliate or to gratify, but their own friends and
their own paity. Corruption everywhere fixes its eye upon
its objects and iti instruments ; and the shortest mathe-
matical line so teach them is the course which it naturally
pursues. But this course must one day haves* end. Op-
pression is not the end for which power was conferred.
You have no right to provoke the prejudices of four-fifths
of the people of Ireland, and then to pass penal statutes to
keep down the tosentesent you exile. You have no right,
first to trample on the mystic epithet of their faith, and
then bring
.out the powliarauutlitts of your authority to
quiet their fury. •• , 1.

MARSEtLLgs, Dec. 23.
A Commissary of Police has given an order to all the Spaniards
hue to repair to Alamein within three days. The greater number
bare already set sot. When there are any now arrivals the same
order is given and the same destination pointed out. This mesons
is not confined to the military and the refugees; It refers to
Spaniards who come here, no matter from what quarter.
The 6th allele of the capitulation conch ide& between the
French Generals and the Spaniards for the surrender of Cordoning&
is, that soldiers and others who wish to absent themselves from
Spain fee any length of time, shall receive passports foe that per
pose. The last day of obtaining these passports will be the 31st c
next January. I f tiny persons are disposed to go to France, they
shall have the means of transport, and also a place of Nylons
and tatty. Military parsons shall enjoy a pay peoportional
their employments.
The Generals Torrijo and Sancho, on their arrival in this city,
solicited the fulfilment of this , and addressed the Prefect to
suspend the execution of the mimisfaial order until the French Go-
ate arrest did justice to their claims, or at least (in simeqnsass of
ffisnillegetitaitution to which elatost the entirelf thqSpenieji, DM-
MO Are reduced) that the necessary asailm should be given
them be so long a journey, marked out for them in sea Inclement a
sessen.• However the Magistrate might have felt far the deplorable
situation of these n Menu nate*, he could only grant a passport of indl
genoe, with small stipend forthe most oftentimes. Therefugeer
draw, amongst whom were many of asuperior rank, and who were
lowed by their wives and ch:ltiren, were reduced to the necessity
travelling with resources which were not sufficient to satisfy their
most urgent wants. The young people of Marseilles, at the
of being the objects of new calumnies, wished to ameliorate s
much as possible their deplorable situation ; they made a collec-
tion, the product of which they divided amongst those who were
going, and they made every effort to equip those who were
deed ; they vied with each other in furnishing them with linen,
clothes, shoes, etc. to protect the unfortunates hom the severity of
the season. If they cannot utterly remove their calamities, they
