LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 14.

The attention of Europe is intensely fixed on
the proceedings of Congress, and the friends of
liberty are unanimous in unfavourable anticipations
—the affairs of Spain are, it is said, to claim the
distinguished attention of the great Despots, and it
is believed that they will restive to three upon the
Spanish people an absolute Government in lieu of
their Constitutional form—if such be their determi-
nation, they will doubtless attempt to enforce those
resolutions by their armies—if they Jo, we hope the
!poniards will uphold the credit of their ancestors,
and teach those meddling, brutal tyrants what it is
to interfere with a people in whose breast tha pure
flame of liberty is glowing—we wish that each
army may be commanded by its Swereign in person,
and that every man may find a grave in the country
to which they would dare to di.nate—it may be said
that " the soldiers are not to blame"—that " they
rust do as they are ordered"—to which we would
reply, that they heel better turn their bayonets
against the breasts of their employers than suffer
themselves to be the instruments of tyranny and vil-
lany. If the temerity of these crowned Ruffians
should overcome their cowardice, and they should
pretend to dictate to England how much or how
little of power her King should be allowed, they
would find too late that spirit which would over-
whelm them, and their armies would either be im-
molated en masse, or return in fragments defeated
and disgraced. The Spanish nation will have an
opportunity of immortalizing itself, and we ardently
hope it will make the most of it.

Sroc EICRANCE, SATURDAY, TIMER OTLOCIC.—Very
little business doing here this morning. The think has advanced
In: Dissenters money to Government, and have judged it best
to apply • portion of the Sinking Fund to pay them oil in
eight instalments, lifter which the Sinking Fund will resume
its operations in full—and we are assured the purchases will
be equal to foar millions. Consols are and for the No-
vember account b2l.—About eleven o'cloc► the new Peruvian
hoini appeared in the Foreign market. For a length of time we
bare not witnessed so much confusion—numerous were the
bidders—followed up at least by a crowd of two hundred per-
sons, dancing about front one part of the 'Change to the other,
bellowing out as if a ruirmagerie of Bulls aid Bears were let
loose on the prblic. The premium it bear* up to to this hour
is eight per cent., and eagerly sought after. A great deal has
been done in the new Spanish Bands, which have lowered this
morning.

General Barton was executed at Poictiers, nn the
ith instant—the firmness and calmness which he
displayed during his imprisonment continued to the
last moment of his existence, and his death excited
the general sympathy of the spectators. Dr. Caffe
committed suicide some hours befitre the time ap-
pointed fur his execution, by wounding himself with
a deep instrument in the groin, and cutting through
the erural artery, in the presence of two gend.ames,
by whom he was guarded. Sange and J.iglio have
been sent to Thonars strongly guarded, where they
are to suffer death.
