THE SUN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1839.

doubtful problem how long the people will regard
obedience as a duty. The letter headed " Chartism
in Sheffield" will be found on several accounts
worthy of perusal.

The Tory Press has not yet done with the alleged
treason of General MA RoTo, and the pretended
participation of our Government in the crime of
that officer. An Evening Contemporary, following
the slimy trail of the Times, unblushingly repeats
the falsehoods of that journal ; but with a mock re-
gard for the national character, pretends that the
people have " separated themselves with sufficient
distinctness from the Ministry which at present
happens to be in office," to escape the imputation
of any share in conduct so disgraceful. It is some-
what curious that apostates always exhibit the
keenest sense of the enormity of treason. This is
no doubt done to separate themselves from a class
of oflenders distinguishable from them only by their
comparative innocence. A traitor to his Prince is
by no means so detestable a character as an un-
blushing political apostate. Treason may result from
the resentment of a hero, and is not incompatible
with the love of country, and a sincere though mis-
taken regardto the interests of mankind; hut apostacy
is a plague-spot which at once contaminates the
whole moral being. But, leaving these truths to
the reflection of our Evening Contemporary, we
proceed to the correction of the gross falsehoods
attempted to be pawned upon the public by the
Times. We repeat, then, that Don CA RLos was
himself the very first person to recommend General
.MAROTo to open a negociation with EsPARTERO
and the British Commissioners, for the tranquilliza-
tion of the Peninsula ; that the Pretender dis-
tinctly stated the conditions upon which he was
willing to resign his personal claims to the Crown ;
that he was privy to all that passed before the 26th
of August, the clay on which the Carlist council
' was held, at which he denounced MAROTO as a
traitor ; and finally, that although the whole was
a contrivance of CARLOS to obtain a pretext for
the murder of MAROTO, without exciting an in-
surrection in the army, neither MAROTO nor the
English Commissioners entertained the remotest
suspicion of the Pretender's treachery, MA-
RoTo discovered his danger only in time to
save his life, and give peace to his country.
The real traitor was CARLOS, who, to glut an insa-
tiable craving for blood—to effect the butchery of
his General without' perSonal danger to himself, de-
livered over his army to the QUEEN-REGENT. The
Pretender either forgot, or Was riot aware, that the
Basques were heartily sick of ihim and his cause,
else he could hardly have been such a fool as to
venture to make experiments upon their attachment
to him. But however it was, he was himself the
traitor—himself the concoctor of his own ruin, so
far as that was accelerated by the Treaty of Bergara.
CAttLOs wants the talent, hut not the will, to be a
successful villain on an extensive scale. His genius
is of the snake order. He might manage the
concoction of a plot, but he wants the courage for
appearing on the highway. In the excess of his
cowardice he had recourse to the tedious process of
digging a pit for MAROTO and—he tumbled into it
himself.

The French Journals are still without any poli-
tical news of engrossing interest. The accounts
from Spain continue to be satisfactory. In the
Moniteur of Monday we find the following tele-
graphic despatch :

" BAYONNE, SEPT. 21.
" THIS GENERAL COMMANDING 'IHE 20TH MILITARY DIVI-

SION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR.
" Espartero has proceeded to Patnpeluna, where a
grand reception was prepared for him. He has left a
brigade in the valley of Bastan. Urdax and Vera are oc-
cupik•cl by the Queen's troops ; the inhabitants remained
in the villages, and many of the soldiers have returned to
their homes and resumed their labours. Estella and Allo
are still held by the Carlists, who have declared that they
will make their submission only to Espartero himself."
Don CARLOS and his consort arrived at Bourges
on Saturday. A Commissary-General of Police
was to proceed there by. command of the Govern-
ment, to keep a close eye upon the movements of
the Pretender. The following particulars relative
to the family of the Pretender, from the Courier
Bordeaux, are not without interest :
" Notwithstanding Wednesday was the fast of Quatre
Temps, considering the fatigues which the Prince and his
family had undergone, meat was prepared for them at M.
Coupat's residence ; but, the attendants reminded the
Duchess de Beira of its being a fast-day. Her Royal
Highness replied that she had a dispensation from the Pope,
and partook of a cutlet. Don Carlos also ate some meat.
The Pretender appeared to be much depressed, and
spoke very little. The only thing he uttered was a sar-
castic observation on the vigilance of the Magistrates,
who were unable to prevent his getting into Spain when
he was last at Bordeaux, on his way to put himself at the
head of the insurgents of the four provinces. tie was
informed that this could not apply to Baron Sers (the pre-
sent Prefect), who then held a similar office at the other
extremity of France. The countenance of Don Carlos is
without expression ; the features of the Duchess de Beira,
on the contrary, are full of expression and haughtiness.
She is evidently suffering from her reverses, but bears
them with resolution. 'We have only come into France
because we have been driven here by the bayonets of
Espartero. We have yielded to nothing but superior force.'
Don Sebastian has lost the sight of one eye; both he and
the Prince of the Asturias are much cast down. One of the
guests at breakfast having politely inquired after the
health of the former, attributing his state of weakness to
the fatigues of vvar—' To the fatigues of war,' replied Don
Sebastian, sarcastically ; ' I have not taken ung part in it
for the last two.years I' The Duchess de Beira made many
purchases for her toilet at Bordeaux, having, it seems, in
the precipitation of her flight, brought wits her only the
garments she had on. While they were changing horses
at Latigon, several Carlists knelt to the Pretender, and
kissed his hand ; but he appeared to receive the mark of
homage with perfect indifference."
The Moniteur announces that some disturbances
took place at Lille, on the 21st instant., and that
twenty persons were arrested. In the department
of Sartre the arrival of the new Prefect operated
as a check upon the movements of the Corn rioters :

The Plume contains the following letter :
" PERPIGNAN, SEPT. 16.—The Queen's troops have
been well received in the mountains, because the inhab...
tants are filled with extreme indignation at the conduct of
Count de Espagne. By his orders, above a thousand
houses have been burnt at Geronella, Begs, and other
villages.

" It is believed that the Count de Espagne is inclined
to come to an arrangement. It is said that he has sent to
request the English Commissioners to repair to Berga
Some persons believe that he is thinking only of means to
withdraw to another country."
The Eco, of Aragon, says :

It is positively ii.nown here that Cabrera has sent orders
to Nice, to purchase for him a magnificent estate, the
revenue of which is one million per annum. This pur-
chase has just been made through the agency of a Cation,
and great preparations are making in this estate to
receive the new proprietor."
The Journal of Saint Gamlen; of the 16th inst., con-
tains the following intelligence :—" An important capture
has just been made; it is that of the famous Canon Tr;stany,
brigadi7r in the service of Ihn Ca: los, who came from
Catalonia to join him, and was endeavouring by aid of a
disguise to return to that province.
" Tristan), and the men who accompanied him are confined
in the prison by order of the sub• prefect, till he shall receive
instructions from higher authority.
" Tristany was one of the roost ferocious and odious men
of the cruel bands of Catalonia."

We have announced, says La France, that M. Decazes
had had a long interview with Louis Philippe, and that an
important mission would doubtless be confided to him.
Persons wbo are well informed say, that the Grand Refer-
endary is going to Spain to confer, in the first instance,
with the Duke de la Vittoria, and then to proceed to
Madrid, to negotiate a certain matrimonial affair which
C,,unt Mole had in contemplation, and which Maroto is
said to have rendered more important.--Le Commerce.

French have six ; but though our presence there '
indicates hostility, our ships are on the peace esta-
blishment, while the French ships are on a war
footing. Besides this, France has -two broad pen-
dants flying, but we have only-one—a clever Con-
trivance, by which the Government saves ten shil-
lings a-day, probably to make up the pension of
some future SFRING RICE, or Lord Mount-
Sparrow !

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY —We have had
a dull market for cotton to-day with a slight tendency to
a decline in prices. The sales about 3,000 bags.
Extract of a letter received at Liverpool, from Mar an.
band, July 15 :

‘, There are accounts here of Caxias having been taken
by the rebels on the Ist inst. It also said it was sacked and
great excesses committed, but although very likely, we
believe there are no certain accounts. All the troops that
could be spared from the city, in fact all the regular forces
aitd even some of the local, have been in the country the
last two months, and we have to defend us only some Na-
tional Guards. There is every probability that an attempt
will be made on this place, and we do not expect it will be
successfully. resisted. Many of the shopkeepers aro pack.
ing up to embark. There will be difficulty in loading the
Wilberforce and Sherbroke. No cotton arriving-,."
MARANIIAM, Ace. 4.—Accounts from the country con-
tinue very unfavourable. It is said the rebels have left
Caxias, and are coining down in three divisions to attack
this place. There are probably 1,200 men here to defend
us. We do hope the attempt will ❑ot be made ; every.
thing is bustle, confusion, and military. The English
Consul has sent to Rio Janeiro to request a vessel of war
may be sent up. No cotton arriving, and the Wilberforce
will not leave before the end of this month, and then pro-
bably not loaded."

Caraccas papers received state that the President of the
Republic has appointed Dr. Alejo Fortigne to replace
General O'Leary as Commissioner for the settlement of
the Venezuelan debt with the British creditors; he is also
accredited as Minister Plenipotentiary to her Majesty
Queen Victoria.

THE FUNDS.

Although of late a very great preasure for money has
been experienced, and more particularly among the com-
mercial community, we are happy to find that in last
night's Gazette there was not a single announcement of a
bankrupt. This has a good appearance. and provos that
our commerce is on a more solid foundation than • gene-
rally anticipated.
The exportation of the precious metals from the port of
London for the week ending on Saturday last, consist( d,
according to the official returns, of 82,000 ounces of silver
coin, of which 80,000 were shipped to Gibraltar, and 2,000
to Hamburg; 774 ounces of gold bars to Hamburg, and
1,150 ounces of gold coin to the same place.
The Foreign Exchanges were rather lower yesterday,
and few bills at the Exchange to be negociated. By some of
the brokers it is thought that the exchanges are high
enough to prevent the gold going out of the country.
It is generally expected that the civil war in the north
of Spain being terminated, our commerce with that part
of Spain will be re-established, particularly by the old
Spanish ho uses who have resided for a number of years in
London.

CAPTURE OF AN EAGLE.---Early on Monday
morning one of the keepers of the Girddeness lighthouse,
Mr. Black, was alarmed by a sudden and rust ling noise on
the dame of the building, and, on going round the balcony,
he found that a bird of some kind bad been att ratted by th e
light and sought refuge from the storm. He then, at great.
risk, mounted the dome, and found a formidable looking
customer entangled about the cupola. The legs being
uppermost,iMr. Black at once laid hold of them and suc-
ceeded in capturing a bird of the eagle species, which mea-
sures no less than five feet across the wings, and about two
feet from the tip of the tail to the point of the bill. It
is of a brownish-grey colour, with white neck,. and has a
beautiful crest on its head. It appears to he quite tame
and very young. The bird is evidently " a foreigner," and
is now in the possession of u gentleman in this city. Con-
sidering the situation in which the eagle was found, it is
truly astonishing how Mr. Black contrived to capture it.—

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

There has been a fair return of English Wheat and Flour this
week, but very little of any other sort of English grain. Of
Foreign wheat and Oats the quantities have been good. The
weather has been again changeable, and Wheat fully maintained
Monday's prices, with a fair extent of business in English par-
cels. For other grain more money was asked, with little doing.
Flour met a fair sale at the late advances.
