THE BATTLE.

In the first round Moss was floored at going in by a heavy
facer which set the claret flying.
2. A severe fighting round. Give and take was the order of
fightingin a rally of eight minutes, which spoiled the fastness of
both, and drew the claret in abundance. • Moss had rather the
best of the round, but both were hit to a stand still. Flowers
was dropped forward by a muzzier in front of the head.
3. This round took the fight quite out of the men. It lasted
seven minutes, and Moss received a heavy cross-buttock.
The fourth, fifth, and six rounds were tame, in comparison
with the former ones. It was chiefly throwing, in favour of
Flowers, but both their heads had been so cltanceried that fea-
tures were scarcely distinguishable.
The seventh round finished the battle in favour of Moss, in
42 minutes, by locking or unlocking his adversary's jaw. It
was a severe round, and both fought until exhausted, when the
lucky blow for Moss told Flowers was deaf to time, and he
was carried out of the ring.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

XXTRACTS FROM THE DtILY MORNING PAPERS,
October 28, 1822.

[NEW Tim Es.]
Last night we received the Paris Journals of
Thursday and Friday. Their contents are not
of much importance. The accounts from Greece
and Turkey are extremely contradictory, and
There is nothing hut rumour and speculation with
vegard to the Congress at Verona.

[BRITIEII PRESS.]
The accounts from the north of Spain come
down to the 16th. Up to that date Mina appears
to' have made many movements, but more with a
-view to barrass the Army of the Faith than to
induce a battle. This system is most judicious
if the reports of the destitute state of the enemy
be founded in fact.

[MORNING POST.]
We find in the French Ministerial Paper, the
Journal des Debars, an article under the head
Paris, and from its form evidently demy-official,
calculated to fill all the friends of Greece with
hope and exultation, for it more than intimates
that the Emperor Alexander has announced to
the Congress of Verona his intention to change
his system entirely with regard to Turkey, and
to emplay force to compel the barbarous Go-
vernment of Constantinople to make proper con-
cessions." This change of system, it is hinted,
is supported by the authority of England, and
if, as we sincerely hope, this should prove to be
the case, it will impress on the first public act of
our new Secretary for Foreign Affairs a charac-
ter of justice, sound policy, and humanity, which
will make his Ministry descend with imperish-
able glory to posterity.

[MORNING HERALD.]
There is curious correspondence in the Paris
Papers, which passed between General Eguia,
the Chief Director of the Spanish Insurgent
Committee at Bayonne, the Governor of Pam-
peluna, and the Prefect of the Lower Pyrenees,
in France. A Colonel, named Garcias, with
some other Insurgent Officers, were made pri-
soners by the Constitutionalists, at Tudela, and
consigned over to be dealt with by a Council of
War, or Court-Martial. Eguia writes to the
Governor of Pampeluna, that if the latter sanc-
tioned by I►is signature the sentence of the Court-
Martial against their lives, he (Eguia) would, by
way of reprisal, cause two Constitutional officers
of those in his power to be put to death, for each
one of the Defenders of the Faith who should have
been executed. The Governor communicated the
letter of Eguia to the Ministry, expressing his
contempt of the menace, and his readiness to
perform his public duty. At the same time I►e
addressed a letter to the Prefect of the Depart-
n►ent in which Bayonne is situated, remonstrat-
ing against the Prefect's tolerating the conduct
of Eguia, describing that personage as a decre-
pit, atrocious, and sanguinary old man, and
calling upon France, as a friendly nation, to re-
move him from the frontier. In fine, the
King of Spain, being informed of tire matter,
commands the Spanish military and political
Authorities to execute the provisions of the
Constitution and Laws against the factious, in
total disregard of this menace• of reprisal. It
is probable this subject will be matter of discus-
sion between the Governments of France and
Spain. The French Prefect is requested by the
Spanish Commandant to return an answer. It is
a gross anomaly that France, professing relations
of amity with Spaln, receiving a Spanish Ambas-
sador (the'newly-appointed Duke of San Lorenzo)
at Court, should still give shelter at Bayonne to
a person professing publicly to have military
power and con troul over the Spanish rebels on
the other side of the frontier.

• TILE KING AND A MUSEUM OF AltT.—lt is
well known that England, with all its vaunting
about Art and its love for it, is the only State in
Europe which does not possess a National Col-
lection of Pictures. His Majesty, with a view to
remove this national disgrace, is said to have ex-
pressed a wish that a Museum should he erected
to contain Works of Art, and to which the public
shall have free and reasonable access. The So-
vereign has been an ardent collector of pictures
for many years, and the chambers of Carlton
Palace exhibit some splendid specimens of
all the Flemish and Dutch Masters, and
the most choice and admirable pictures painted
during the bright era of the Italian school. These,
numerous as they are, the King will freely con-
tribute, together with the matchless Cartoons,
by Raphael, now at Hampton Court, the Two
Misers in Windsor Castle, and a good selection
from the Palaces at Kensington, Hampton Court,
and Windsor, in addition to his own. The plan
is to be carried into effect under the direction of
a Committee of Taste, and a power given to that
Committee, by Parliament, with a grant of cer-
tain funds, in order that no opportunity of en-
rich:rig the collection by purchases (either abroad
or at home) may be lost.—Chambers are to be
erected to contain the Elgin and Phygalian
Marbles, and all the rare Works of Art now in
the British Museum, so that the whole of our
national treasures may be seen at once.

[THE TIMES.]
We insert a letter addressed by Sir Robert
Wilson to his constituents, on the subject of his
late hasty dismission from France. If we were
to describe the composition of the epistle, we
should say it is neatly written, and we hope will
have its due influence with the constituents of the
gallant writer. We are as much friends to liberal
sentiments as Sir Robert Wilson—as much the
enemies of tyrannic Governments : but we do not
therefore think ourselves justified in swerving
from an even course. It is our opinion, and we
really are not able to see how it can be contro-
verted, or attacked with any appearance of com-
&on sense, that the Emperor of Russia has ex-
actly as much right to interfere in the concerns
of Spain) with all the power that his situation,

gives him, as Sir Robert Wilson has to meddle
personally—that is, with all the powers he
possesses—in those of France. It is competent
to Sir Robert, or any other man, to give an
opinion either by writing or speaking on the pro-
ceedings of other countries, their parties, or fac-
tions ; and such parties may derive light and
instruction from a communication of the sentiments
of able and intelligent speakers and writers :
but a practical interference in their concerns is
what no state ought to suffer either from
foreig❑ Princes or private individuals.—Sir
Robert may have given no just cause for his
dismission by any act or deed since his last visit.
This is a point which he knows best, and which
therefore we will not contest with him. Ours is
a general theorem. But he will have the
goodness to reflect what that party is which
he may be suspected of assisting ;—the bit-
terest enemies that England ever had—the
bitterest enemies that liberty ever had—the old
Buonapartists. We dread them not, whe-
ther they arc up or down in the world ; but we
hate them cordially ; and we know that if they
could regain any temporary influence or power,
their first object would immediately be—what it
always has been—to destroy this country. We
certainly wish for a free Government both in
France and Spain, and, indeed, all over the
world, because we know that among free
Governments, and among them only, there spring
up noble emulations, and from thence general
improvement, and a diffusion of greater happiness.
But from such a government as the remnant of
the Buonapartists (knaves and slave in heart and
soul) would set up—if they could once procure a
leader of equal talents with their last—Heaven
protect Europe ! for from such a government
nothing but mutual suspicion, envy, hatred, and
general misery, could emanate.
