About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon a shock-
ing occurrence took place in the house of a butcher, 149, Gos-
well-street. A lad, -fourteen years of age, servant to Mr.
Wage, was discovered in the killing-cellar under the shop,
in a lifeless state. He had been sent below for a broom,
butnot returning, one of the men went into the cellar to look
for him, when lielliscovered the lad lying on the floor, with his
neck so tightly entwined in a jack-towel, that it was with diffi-
culty he was relea,sed. The jack-towel hung to a hook. It is
supposed he had put his head through the towels and rim round
until he became giddy. Three medical gentlemen were in-
stantly called in they used every endeavour to restore *m-
um, but to no effect. •

On Friday last, the body of a young man was
found between the Bass and the shore, and brought to North
Berwick by James Shaw and other fishermen ; he is apparently
about eighteen or twenty years of age, stout made ; he was
dressed in a blue jacket and vest of the same, with metal
buttons ; canvas trowsers, and brown cloth ones under them ;
had twopence and a knife in his pocket. Should he be
recognised by his relatives by this description, they may rest
assured that he was decently interred in the church-yard of North
Berwick.—On Tuesday, Win. Robertson, condemned at the
Perth circuit court, to be executed at Cupar Fife, was conveyed
from the Perth prison to the jail at Cupar. Since he received
his sentence he has appeared 'so much dejected, as often 'to
be incapable either of thought. or action. The result of the
applications for mercy to this unflirtunate man cannot, it is sup.
posed, be known for some time.-(Edinburgh Courant, sVep,

THE LONtON JOURNALS.

IC.LTRA'CTS PROM TIIE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,
October 3, 1822'.

[THE TIMES.]

Letters. dated the 26th of July were received
yesterday from Bahia. It now appears that the
expedition which sailed from Lisbon, early in
June, and which was reported in the advices
brought by the last packet to have reached its
destination safely, 'had not arrived at Bahia by
the date above-mentioned. The expedition from
Rio de Janeiro,. despatched to the assistance of
the party contending for independence, had
also not arrived. General Madeira, the Military
Governor at Bahia, bad intelligence of the sailing
of the expedition from Lisbon, and had in con-
sequence equipped six vessels of war, to cruize
off the port of St. Salvador, in order to facilitate
the entrance of the expedition from Portugal, in
the event of its being attacked by the Rio Jane-
iro squadron. At Bahia no event of importance
had occurred, but the situation of affairs denoted
the approach of a❑ important crisis. The Gover-
nor was proceeding to strengthen himself in his
positions, and to guard against surprise on the part
of the inhabitants. The communication with the
interior was wholly cut off, and all business
suspended. It was greatly feared that the inha-
bitants of Bahia, in the difficulty of accomplishing
by any other means the independence they de-
sired, would emancipate and put arms into the
hands of the black population—a measure that
might be followed by the most disasf:ous conse-
quences to the province. It forms a striking
feature of the contest for ascendancy at Bahia
between the Portuguese and the Brazilian in-
terests, that while two armies, the subjects of
the same Power, were on the point of encounter-
ing on shore, there were two fleets at sea, nearly
equal in point of strength, in the same predica-
ment. The squadron of the Prince Regent is
despatched for the purpose of intercepting that
fitted out by the Cortes and his father the King
of Portugal ; and should the fleets come to an
action, Brazil being nominally, at least, still
under the dominion of Portugal, they would ac-
tually engage under the same flag.

[NEW TIMES.]
Monday's Paris Papers were received last
night by express. We have given some extracts
from them, though their contents have nothing
of interest to recommend them. Glancing at
Le Drapeau Blanc of Sunday last, which arrived
yesterday in the accustomed course, we notice
•the following apposite remarks on the politics of
Europe :—" The Liberal Papers," says this
writer, 64 still continue their discussions on the
posikion of France in relation to Spain. They are
agreed as to permitting the Army of Observa-
tion to remain on the frontier ; but then, on the
other hand, they require that it should abide by
its position, and 'not advance a single foot.—
They even have endeavoured to prove that
any sort of movement towards the South,
would be impolitic, unconstitutional, and
trenching on the liberties of the people. It,
therefore, now only remains to ascertain if the
Revolution of Spain has originated in the na-
tional wish, collected and sanctioned by the
Prince ; or whether it is a mere cruel excitation,
the work of some ambitious and fanatical agita-
tors. To determine this point, it is only here re-
quisite to decide the following question :
" Drunken, or mad, servants may fire the house
of my neighbour; I have a thatched house next
door ; my neighbour is about to perish in the
flames ; the incendiaries menace me with the
same lot. It is unconstitutional to run to their
aid, and snatch the torches from the hands of
the incendiaries ?"

[MORNING POST.]
We received last night, by Express, Paris
Journals to the Ist inst. They have brought
intelligence from Madrid of as late a date as the
19th ult. Ali was tranquil in that capital, where
the Proclamation lately issued by the King, and
the exertions of the Ministers to place the army
on an effective footing, and to subdue the insur-
rection, had created much satisfaction. Notwith-
standing the contradictory statements which have
appeared in papers under Ultra influence, it was
still confidently asserted at Madrid, not may that
negociations had been opened with Portugal, but
that they were nearly brought to a conclusion,
and that the result would be the march of a
strong Portuguese corps to the frontiers of Syain,
to assist in reducing the Rebels, and if necessary,
in repelling invasion. A distinguished Portu-
guese individual had left Madrid on the even-
ing of the 13th for Lisbon, bearing with him
the Ultimatum of the Spanish Government, drawn
up, it is said, with the frankness which ought to
characterise the administration of a free State.—
The interests of both countries, it is added, had
been well understood and skilfully conciliated,
and the decision of the Portuguese Ministry was
expected to be known within ten days in the
Spanish Capital. The Treaty, however, even
when signed by both Courts, could not be ra-
tified, according to the forms of the Constitution,
until a law should have been passed for that pur-
pose by the Portuguese and Spanish Cortes.—
The King had appointed a new political Chief
for Barcelona, and had selected a military
man, General Don Fernando Butron, to hold
that office, on account of the difficulties and
dangers of the times. The cause of the arrests
which took place sometime since in that city is
now explained. They were occasioned by the
sudden appearance within its walls, of a bundle
of the Revolutionary Proclamations issued by the
pretended Regency of Urgel. These Proclama-
tions were immediately burned in the public
Square by the Hangman's hands, in presence of
the civil and military authorities, and in the
midst of the shouts of the people, whose indigna-
tion could only be appeased by the arrest of the
individuals suspected to have introduced the
factious appeals within' the city. The accounts
from the frontiers only detail trifling actions, in
Wbieh, notwithstanding the boastful assertions of

the Royalists, it is evident that thelriends of the'
Constitution and of order are continually gaining
ground.
[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The last accounts from Spain inform us, that
Sir Wm. A'Court was expected at Vittoria on
the 23d, on his way to Madrid, as our Minister
Plenipotentiary at that Court. The mention of
this circumstance affords us an opportunity of
observing, that we have reason to think Sir Wil-
liam's mission at the present moment deserves
more attention than it has hitherto received from
the people of England at least. We have been
desired, indeed, to view in it some indication of
a sound and respectable system of foreign policy
worthy of the power and former character
of this country, and a preparatory step to
the total separation of our Cabinet from
the duplicity and treachery of the Holy Al-
liance. Without yielding implicit faith to these
anticipations, we believe that Ministers are
quite sick of the Continental Legitimates, and
are besides in the daily receipt of so much
odium for their domestic Administration, that they
would willingly embrace a plausible pretence for
shaking off all that now attaches to them from
their foul connexion with a set of mean and un-
principled Despots abroad. To some feeling of
this sort we would fain ascribe the appointment
of an Ambassador from this country to the Court
of Madrid, at the very time that the Holy Alli-
ance are entering into a Conclave avowedly to
discuss the question of foreign interference with
the internal affairs of Spain. We recollect, dis-
tinctly, that during the last Session, the Marquess
of Londonderry informed the House of Commons,
that the degree of relative friendship between In-
dependent States was always expressed by the
rank of the Representatives at their respective
Courts. Upon this principle we must at present
be on terms of perfect amity with the Constitu-
tional Government of Spain, and what is more
remarkable, we indicate this by sending there a
Minister Plenipotentiary at the precise period
that the French Cabinet have in dudgeon with-
drawn theirs from Madrid—that a French army
menaces the invasion of Spain, and the Holy
Alliance are plotting its subjugation ! We are
confidently assured, indeed, that the news of this
step absolutely astounded the French Ministry,
and was the cause of a serious fall in the
French Funds, which at the time was referred
to other circumstances. It is said, however,
that our Cabinet has since explained itself, by
stating that Sir Wm. A'Court is sent to Madrid,
in order to quiet the fears of the Spanish people
respecting a foreign attack on their independence,
and by that means to prevent any measure which
might compromise the personal safety of Ferdi-
nand. The French Government have thus, in
all probability, been reconciled to our conduct,
and in consequence, we understand, forwarded
a dispatch to this Court at the same time with
the Ordinance changing the name of the Cordon
de Saute into that of Army of Observation, re-
questing to know in what light the British Cabi-
net would view ,any military assistance which
France might afford to the Spanish Regency
