THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1839

Madrid Papers of the sth inst. have been re-
ceived, being not so late by two days as the news
communicated by telegraph of the confirmation of
the fueros, which appeared in The Sun of Satur-
day. On the 4th, General ESPARTERO arrived at
Saragossa, at the head of 12,000 men, where he found
as many more troops cantoned in readiness to march
against CABRERA. ESPARTERO is accompanied
by CABANERO one of the bravest of CABRERA'S
companions in arms, and intimately acquainted with
his mode of warfare. General VALDEZ was at
Olot, preparing to march against the Count
D'ESPAGNE, at the head of 7,000 infantry, 500
cavalry, and 12 pieces of cannon. D'ESPAGNE
was at Bergara, preparing for war, and treating
with the QUEEN'S Generals about surrendering.

There is no political news of importance in the
French Journals of Friday and Saturday, except
extracts from letters relative to the affairs of the
East, which will be found under one head in ano-
ther part of The Sun. On Thursday night the
King and Royal Family returned from Fontainbleau
to St. Cloud, and on Friday his Majesty attended
a Cabinet Council at the Tuileries, which sat for
four hours.

The accounts of the state of the crops are tole-
rably favourable. In most of the departments grain
is more abundant than was expected. Though
large quantities of corn had a; rived at Marseilles
fro►: the ports of Italy and ihe Black Sea, the
41b. loaf continued on Saturday in Paris at eigh-
teen sous, or ninepence British currency. From the
avidity with which the corn dealers were buying up
every sack of wheat brought to market no decline
in the price of bread was anticipated.
The Nationalgives the following account of the
newly-projected Spanish loan :---." Messrs. DE..
CAZES, SOULT, and other personages, whose ele-
vated political station has not changed their taste
for speculation, have conceived the idea of negociat-
ing a considerable loan for Spain. This loan would
be guaranteed by a mortgage of the Philippine
Islands to the lenders ; the proceeds to be paid up
in three instalments ; the first in ready money, to
the Spanish Government, he second in paper, and
the third when intellignce of the establishment
of the colony in the Philippines should have reached
Europe. Several meetings have already been held
to reduce into form this impracticable project.
M. DE ROTHSCHILD declined taking any part in
the affair, and M. AGUADO, who knows well that
his country will never consent to part with those
islands, and consequently does not consider the
transaction feasible, left for his estate of Chateau
Margaux to escape being importuned by official
jobbers."

Two working men were tried and acquitted on
Friday, for having said in a tavern, that Louts
PIIILIPPE was the greatest brigand of the three.
Kings who reigi.ed in Paris during the last twenty-
four years. The Governmennt would act far more
wisely, if it took no notice of the treasonable speeches
of pot-valiant tipsy operatives.
Count Pozzo di Borgo has completely recovered
from his indisposition. He pays and receives visits
every day.
General Baron de los Vallos, whose arrival we have
spoken of, was set at liberty on Friday. He was ar-
rested for having served against the power in alliance
with the existing Government. The decree ordering
his release applies to him the 21st article of the Civil
Code, and places him in the class of Spanish Generals
who have taken refuge in France.
A Journal announces that M. de Saligny, Secretary
of Legation at Washington, is appointed Minister from
the French Government to the Republic of Texas.
It is said that the. Ministry hcs just sent orders to
Marseilles to accelerate the preliminary proceedings in
the affair of M. Arnaud de Fabre, notary, who is ac-
cused of perjury. It is reported that more than a thou-
sand witnesses will be examined on the trial, which will
not appear astonishing when we add, above twelve hun-
dred documents are supposed to be forged. The Che-
valier de Feborel, formerly colonel of infantry, and
aide-de-camp to his Royal Highness the Prince of
Conde, died lately, in the 90th year of his age.—La
Gazette dc France.
The journals of the frontier are filled with details of
the brilliant entry of Espartero into Saragossa.
THE PERFECT DIPLOMATIST. All Paris is
aware of the aristocratic promotion of M. de Pontois ;
but all Paris is not acquainted with the flattering man-
ner in which this favour was bestowed. This per-
sonage had an audience to take leave. He was re-
ceived very affectionately ; and just as he was on the
point of retiring, his Majesty said, "M. de Pontois,
without doubt you are a high-gifted personage, but
still something is wanting to enable you to represent
perfectly the French Government at Constantinople."
It may be easily imagined that both surprise and mo-
desty raised several protestations in the breast of M.
de Pontois. In vain he endeavoured to read the au-
gust physiognomy before him. His Majesty enjoyed
this perplexity for some minutes, but said at length,
Yes, M. de Pontois, something was still wanting ;
and here it is." The future rival of M. de Boutenieff
received with respectful emotion the receipt for making
a perfect diplomatist. It consisted of letters patent of
noblesse. The following morning. the diplomatist's
cards were thus distributed about Paris :—" Le Count
Edouard de Pontois, P. P. C."—Commerce of Friday.
The Temps gives the following as an on a
cir-
culated after the breaking up of the last Council of
Ministers : " The passports granted to Don Sebas-
tian, and an animated declaration of the Minister of

without being impressed with the necessity that
exists for some such measure as Lord PALMER-
STON'S Portuguese Slave Trade Suppression Bill.

While the Established Clergy, the Tories, and
the enemies of education, made the country ring
with their wild clamour against the grant of 30,0001.
for educational purposes, a few of the " Shabby
Whigs" met at the Thatched House Tavern for the
purpose of furthering the object of the grant
by private subscription. We stated at the
time that her MAJEsTY's name stood at the bead
of the list for 1001., the Duke of BEDFORD'S, for
the same sum, and that a number of other noble-
men and private gentlemen had also subscribed libe-
rally. The Committee have already raised between
4,0001. and 5,0001., and the subscription goes on
increasing. While Whig noblemen, some of
them with very limited incomes, are thus sub-
scribing their fifties and their hundreds for the
improvement of education on Scriptural and com-
prehensive principles, and their example is followed
by commoners, two of whom have subscribed 2001.
each, what have the wealthy heads of the Church
done ? The Bishop of LONDON, it is true, sum-
moned his vassal clergy about the same time to
hear a lecture on diocesan schools. He could not
well do less when laymen came forward in such a
liberal manner to perform duties for which he and
his brethren are so extravagantly paid. What fur-
ther steps have been taken here or throughout the
country the public know not. They would wil-
lingly
let the subject sleep, but for these " infidel
Whigs," who will force them to imitate their ex-
ample a second time, and give a pittance out of
their princely revenues to support the rival esta-
blishment.

By the Iberia steamer, which arrived at Falmouth
on Saturday, Lisbon rapers of the 7th inst., have
been received. They contain no political news of
the slightest consequence. Robberies and murders
were so frequent, that in the hope of putting a stop
to them the authorities were having recourse to the
old method of amending the morals of the people—
namely, by affording them ocular demonstration of
the consequences of cutting throats and picking
pockets. For this purpose a gallows was in the
course of erection, and hangmen were ordered from
Oporto and Braga, while the mob-laureates
of Lisbon were busy in preparing last speeches
and dying ditties, expressive of the deepest
penitence, and the utmost horror of the
process of hanging. We need not repeat here our
convictions upon this subject. To utterly brutalize
a people, no spectacle is required but that of the
gallows, with its burthen of human guilt. This is
a truth which most Governments have yet to
learn, and yet it is one of the utmost importance
to the whole human race.

We find in a Jamaica paper of the l lth of Septem-
ber that the Governor asserted in a public document
that he had been repeatedly threatened with assasina-
tion, and it was proposed to get up meetings to call
upon him to give such information as would lead to
the apprehension and conviction of the offender. This
was thought to be a straightforward course.
The Jamaica Dispatch of the 13th September, says,
that twelve thousand dollars have been subscribed by
the merchants of Jamaica as a reward for the appre-
hension and conviction of the parties who made use of
threats of assassination to the Governor.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SATURDAY. -- We
have had a fair demand for cotton to-day, and full prices
have been obtained. The sales 3,500 bags, chiefly to
the trade.

Great disappointment has been experienced this
morning by the merchants dealing with the United
States, as well as those who expected remittances from
New York and other parts of the States.
The British Queen steamer has not yet arrived.

The General Steam Navigation Company's

a favourable passage of twenty-four hours.
LORD EBRINGTON.---The Mayor and other
inhabitants of Barnstaple have presented a complimen-
tary address to his Lordship, congratulating him on his
return.

/ Foreign Affairs on the subject of the excesses which Are
still committed in Spain, have produced a great effect
upon the little Court of Bourges. They demand pass-
ports, and dread the brutality of the old Marshal. The
Pretender abandons, or fairs the abandonment, of his
pretensions, and says he will not allow war to be carried
on in his name. It appears, in fact, adds the Temps,
"that Don Carlos has sent two secret agents to Cabrera
and the Count d'Eapagne, and it is supposed that this
is for the purpose of inviting them to lay down their
arms. The Count d'Espagne has anticipated the desire
of the Prince. As to Cabrera, the army of Espartero
and the law of the fiteros, voted at Madrid, will perhaps
in.iuce him to follow the example. The agent of Don
Carlos can only contribute to this decision. The
Capitole says, in relation to the reported demand for
passports, " We are assured that the speedy liberation
of Don Carlos has been confidently reckoned upon by a
certain party, and that measures had been taken to
convey him to Catalonia to the army of Cabrera.
Communications are said to have been made on this
subject to the Ambassador of a northern Power."

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE WS

CITY; TWELVE O'CLOCK.
A Lisbon mail has arrived by the Iberia steamer,
which sailed from Gibraltar on the 20th ult., Cadiz 4th
inst., Lisbon 7th, Oporto Bth, and Vigo the 9th inst.,
with the ordinary mails.
The intelligence from Lisbon is of little importance—
the particulars will be found in another part of the
paper•

A mail has also arrived by the Spey, from Brazil—
left Rio on the 10th August, Bahia on the 24th, and
Pernambuco on the 4th September.
Accounts from Monte Video state that Lavalzega and
La Ran de Gomez are again acting against the existing
Gavernment at Buenos Ayres. The blockade still
continued. It is stated that General Rosas has a great
number of troops under arms, and that it will require at
least 10,000 men on the part of the French before they
can force them to yield. Maranham is represented to
be in a state of complete insubordination.
A mail has arrived from Jamaica, by the Petrel,
which sailed from Hayti on the 18th October. We
have received Jamaica papers to the 15th September :
Fhe militia of this island has been virtually dis-
banded, and most persons are surprised at the order now
issued to bring out the St. Catherine's Regiment. We
have no doubt, however, that they will muster strong.
" BANK OF JAMAICA.—On Monday last, the 9th of
September, the Shareholders of this Bank held their
half-yearly meeting for the purpose of hearing read a
report of the Directors for the six months ending 30th
June. The report was satisfactory to the Shareholders,
recommending a dividend of five per cent., and a consi-
derable amount to be placed to the surplus fund.
" PLANTERS' BANK.--WC are happy to learn, the
Standard says, that the prospects of this Bank are most
flattering.
" By a late arrival from Carthagena, Bogota papers
to the 14th August' have been received, a supplement
to the Government organ of that date, furnishes the fol-
lowing information respecting the revolt of Porto :
" General Pedro Horren arrived at Popayan on the
27th of last month, and after having made enquiries re-
lative to the state of affairs in Porto, and hoping to be
able to pacify that province, and re-establish entire obe-
dience to the laws, without recurring to coercive mea-
sures, resolved to proceed to Porto on the 30th, without
taking any military force, accompanied solely by two or
three officers : should the measures of pacification not
succeed, a respectable body of troops in the province of
Popayan, will be marched in time to Porto."
We have received Demerara Papers to the 3d Sep-
tember; they are entirely void of interest.
The Barbadoes Papers to the 29th August are of
the same cast.
We have received a Rio Janeiro Price Current of the
Bth August, from which the following is an extract :
" Very considerable business has been done in the
Exchange since our last of the 19th ult. at a further
gradual advance of fully 1 per cent. ; from 31i to 324,
and even 33 was given in some instances. To-day seve-
ral amounts were passed at 321, but it left off rather
flat, and some money remained at this rate. Stocks
we have to report a decline of I to 1 per cent., viz.,
from 74 to 73} and 73 ; but though there has been
more business doing lately, the rates are still far from
being firm, and in order to dispose of even a moderate
amount of stock, a reduction of at least 1 per cent.
must be submitted to."

MANSION-TIOUSE-(THIS DAY.)

Peter Franklin, a person well known to the police,
was charged with having liclently assaulted two po!iec-
men, and threatened to " rip them open."
The prisoner said the officers had a spite against
him for finding fault with them when they went to drink
in public-houses.

The LORD MAYOR said if he could prove that, per-.
haps less weight would be attached to the testimony of
the officers, and in order to give him a full opportunity
for so doing, he would commit him for trial at the
Sasions.
