LONDON, FIIIDAY, Fasau4av I, 1824.

Toesday's Franc'le papers, and the Mode of Wedaea4

day, reached us last night. They do not contain a
single article of the slightest interest. The state of Spain
continues will the same ; wretched, oppressed, and des-

tnuee, tyranny and misery are felt everywhere. The Res-

terrador of the seid has a letter from Villaesyo (in Old
Cathie), stating that the 11,iyalict commandant in that

little town, hid succeeded in organising there, as well

as in the other communes around him, 3,000 Tolun-

teas, armed and equipped to support the Throne and
the Altar—that is, the foulest tyranny and the grossest

superstition ; for in Spain these designations are syno-

nimous. Where Ferdinand and his Ministers will find

funds to pay these bands, is another question. The
Visoointe Marallus bad been sent from Paris to press a
financial arrangement with the Spanish Cabinet; but
though the Constitutional loans were recognised to-morrow,
would any capitalists in Europe contract with such a
Cabinet, and lend largely on such security? If France is
looking for the immense sum of 40 millions of francs,—its
expenditure within the Pyrenees in the last campaign,—
where can the Spanish despot, or his followers, find such a
sum, with a treasury that does not contain a piastre. The
emancipated Colonies will prclably be looked to after all,
at the only means of supply, and the highest bargain made
for the acknowledgment of their independence, if they will
make the sacrifice. We give below all that the .211,miteur
and Etaik contain of any moment :

into a premature grave. It is sufficiently annoying to see
the Chancellor rise, at two o'clock, from the hearing of a
cause, on the issue of which a whole family perhaps de-
pend for existence—under the pretence that the tables
for dinner have to be laid in Lincoln's Inn Hall—and
gravely state that he has no Court to sit in; as if he could
not command the Rolls' Court awing the whole forenoon,
or the Exchequer Chamber in Westminster Hall, or half
a dozen other places, if he were inclined to do so, and let
the appeals of the suitors to his Court go on. But Lord
Eldon's feelings are never interested, except where his
oafs interests are involved, and then the melting mood
comes on ; he can then weep most plenteously. To him
it is a matter of no consideration where the poor ha-
rassed suitor finds refreshing fees for Counsel on each
day's protracted hearing, or means to meet the monstrous
expense created by the delays of whole Terms ; while the
venerable Sexagenarian quits his Court for the ease of Ha-
milton-place, and recruits his appetite, by the walk, for the

There is yet some prospect that Spain may be brought
to relinquish her claims of supremacy over her emancipated
colonies, and by • solemn concession acknowledge their
independence. Overturn to that effect are said to have
been made to our Cabinet, an answer to which has now
probably reached Madrid, and the important decision may
therefore be soon expected. Such a recognition would be

'luxuries of a Cabinet dinner. }le has little feeling or re-
flection for the situation of those who pine in anxiety and
want, with all the misery of hope deferred, which makes
the heart so sick. The unhappy parent may be stretched on
his bed of care and illness, and his children hang round his
fevered couch, without education, and almost without bread,
wh'de their appeal remains for months, and years, awaiting
Lord Eldon's dubious decision. How feelingly his Lordship
can speak of his own anxieties and cares, with oriental
wealth, and a monopoly of power and influence about him !
—how pathetically be can dwell, with the heavy drops of
sorrow in his eyes, on any temporary endurance of his own !
But has he ever tetired from the Cabinet Council or the
Cabinet feast, and thought of the unmitigated wretchedness
of the many whom the delays atnl expenses of his Court
have ruined forever ;—the agonized father, who has left his
children orphans; the mother, who has seen despair and
want gradually thicken around her home ? These are
not the dark visions of fancy; they are the gloomy realities
of every day's occurrence. Lord Eldon might prevent
them, in a great degree, were he so disposed ; but he ap-
pears immoveable; and we do therefore anxiously hope,
that the Legislature will at length ibterfere and remedy such
cruel abases. The question was brought forward by Mr.
Williams, with equal judgment and ability, during the last
Session : inquiry will have enabled him to add many afflict-
ing cases to his roll of heavy hardships since. If the Chan-
cellor has not strength or time to devote to the important bu-
siness of his Court, and the despatch of the appeals depend-
ing thee, be ought to maga? or be temored : we know
of nothing about hlm; either as a Minister or otherwise,
that we could regret for a single Instant. During life he
boa been parsimonious, selfish, and intolerant. Could a
successor of ability and indiogry be found to replace him,
we should be glad to sea Ws high functions cease to-
morrow,

We are happy to announce that the King is almost en-

though it left his Majesty too much indisposed to be able
to attend Divine Service in the Chapel on Sunday. The

inquiries respecting the King's health, is still numerous,

In consequence of Sir F. Blake having commenced a
canvass foe the representation of this borough in the (then)
next Parliament, the party of Sir John Bereaford held a
meeting, and came "~ss the resolution of acting together, and
of inviting anotbnicandidate. On Monday evening last
another ineetiqr was-beld at the Three Tuns Tavern, at
which place a trait number of persons attended, and en-
tered into a re on to support any Candidate the Corn-
injure appointed bribe meeting migh• bring forward. Sir
David Milne was proposed to the party; but in conse-
quence of their refusal to support him, he declined a can-
vass for the present. The arrival of a gentleman to offer
himself for the representation is daily expected ; and Sir

Letters dated the :21th of December, were received on

Junta had paayed a decree, ordering every unmarried Por-

By the Tolson. arrived here yesterday (Monday, 2d inst.)
from Pernambuco, we have received intelligence to the
16th of December. On Friday, the 12th of December, a
French vessel arrived at Pernambuco from Rio Janeiro,
bringing an account of the Emperor having dissolved the
Cortes ; and by the same conveyance some of the Pernain-
buco Deputies returned to Pernambuco. This caused a great
sensation, and a very numerous meeting took place at the
palace, to consider of the measures to be adopted in conse-
quence thereof. The meeting did not separate until six
o'clock at night, and it was decided that Deputies should
be despatchtvl to Rio do Janeiro to the Emperor, to com-
municate with him relative to his late proceedings. No-
thing further of importance occurred excepting the election
of Carvalho, the Intendant, as President rro tempore. It
was understood at Ptrnambuco that the Government there
would wait the result of the communications to the Em-
peror before they adopted any decisive measure. The Me-
diterranean, which also arrived here yesterday (Monday,
2d inst.) from Pernambuco, has brought advice' to the
2Sth of December, and we are happy to say, that when she
