BOXERS.

The last and a full meeting of the fighting men and their
backers took place yesterday, at Mr. Jackson's rooms, for the
purpose of receiving back the stakes deposited for the fights.
Mr. Jackson having paid Randal 250/. of his own staked mo-
ney, and 7501. to. others. Martin complained that it had been
reported he did not want to fight; to prove the contrary, he
would fight Randal in 2-t hours, for ten sovereigns. Randal
said there was nO occasion to fight for that sum, but he would
fight him then and there for the 250/. he had just received.
Martin was silent.
SPRING AND NEATE.—On this money being given up,
Spring 'said he was ready to fight Neate from 101. to 2001. of
his own money. In the absence of Neate, Belcher was not pre-
pared to give an answer until the 150/. forfeit was paid. Spring
observed they were both well, and lie wished much to try which
was the best man. As to the forfeit, it was decided that Neate
was intitled to it, and should have it ; any law proceedings
would be met by a subscription.
HUDSON AND SHELTON.—These men met, and Josh. ad-
dressing Shelton very energetically, said—o Why a'nt we to
fight, Tom ?" Shelton replied, that he meant nothing but
fighting, and they who talked about a cross were only ofeard
of their money. It was agreed that this battle should take
place on Thursday, the 28th instant.
NEALE, the Streatham Youth, and the BIRMINGHAM
MAN, who were to have fought in the same ring as Shelton
and Hudson, will fight this day within 12 mileS of London.
Mr. Jackson produced the epistolary correspondence from Mr.
Elliot, the backer of Spring, and Martin, and also some ano-
nymous correspondence about crossing, but which threw no
light upon any thing in the cross line.

ROBRERY.—Yesterday J. Harris was brought
to Bow-street from Leeds, charged with robbing
Colonel Ds BURGH, Chapel-street, Grosvenor-
place, of Bank-notes to the amount of 600/., a
quantity of jewellery, together with a very va-
luable diamond ring, one stone in it weighing be-
tween four and five carats, about two months
Since, at which time he was the Colonel's ser-
vant. Information was given at Bow-street
Office, and Smith the officer exerted himself to
pursue him, but without success ; he was at length
discovered in a very extraordinary way. A dis-
turbance took place in the town of Leeds, and
Harris was taken as one of the ringleaders, when,
on inquiry to ascertain who and what he
was, he not being able to give a satisfac-
tory account of himself, was searched, when
seventy-five sovereigns were found, and also
the above described very valuable ring ; and.
from a variety of circumstances, he was discover-
ed to be the robber of Colonel de Burgh. He is
a particularly ungrateful robber, as he formerly
belonged to the same regiment as Col. (le Burgh,
and for an offence of which he' was found guilty
by a Court Martial, and sentenced to receive
1,000 lashes, after being tied up to receive pu-
nishment, the Cylonel begged him off, and took
him as his servant. He was committed for fur-
tner examination.

DARING ROBBERY.-Yeiterday morning, about
five o'clock, as Stracey's Oxford stage-wagger
was approaching near to Tyburn turnpike, on its
way to Newgate Market, some villains contrived
to cut through, the tilting, and extract 14 flats,
containing three dozens of butter each, and two
sacks of water-cresses, with which they got clear
off; nor was the robbery discovered until the
waggon stopped at the Green Man and Still, in
Oxford-street, notwithstanding there were five
passengers in it. A cart was observed to follow
in the rear, at a little distance, which excited
no particular notice ; but there is little doubt
but one of the gang took advantage of the fog,
and handed out the butter to his companions
in the cart.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

NXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,
November 21, 1822'.

[NIORNING• CHRONICI,Ee]

The statement, which lately appeared in the
Journals, that the Archduchess Maria Louisa had
made her appearance at Verona, has no doubt
been noticed by most of our readers. 'We have
heard that she appears there to claim from the
Allies the execution of the Testamentary Dispo-
sitions of Napoleon in favour of her Son, and that
this claim has
.occasioned very great embarrass-
ment to the French Ministers there. We merely
allude to• this subject for the present.

[MORNING POST.]
Letters. were yesterday received from Maciao,
bearing date Sept. 29, which state that the Eng-
lish residents at that place had been treated with
great Insolence by the General of the Rio Jane-
rian army (La Bata), who had landed there on his
way to Bahia. That'port is tepresented as having
been converted into a complete military depot ;
all the country people who approached the place
had- had their horses seized for the convenience
-of the soldiers, and Gen. La Bata has caused all
letters to he stopped and brought to hirn. During
his stay he caused severalbf his officers to be placed
under arrest,Und compelled•all the English resi-
dents (by sending a file of military to enforce
his orders)' to appear before him. It was much
regretted by the English there that none of our
ships of . war were off the coast to protect our
merchants, who were in consequence subject to
great inconvenience and indignity. 'The conduct
of the Brazilian General had occasioned the
British merchants at Maciao to forward a me-
- rnorial to the Provisional Junta.

[TII E TIMES. j
"More notices, though but slight, creep out re-
specting .the views of the different Powers of
Europe on the subject of Spain, and the pro-
priety of attempting to alter its, constitution by
arms, or of suffering it to take its course. So far
as we can learn, there really is but a mad party
in France—the Ultra-Royalist faction—that
Wishes for war. It is well known that that party
had -at one moment almost succeeded in carrying
its object ; its sinister efforts may therefore be
dreaded with more reason for the future. We shall
describe first, its present position, its strength, and
hopes ; and then proceed to discuss the-opinions
of the other Powers of Europe. The turn which
the late elections have taken in France is evi-
dently favourable to the war-party; though
there perhaps may be some among the new Mem-
ben who might be inclined to moderate counsels.
We hoar also of a singular organization that has
a warlike aspect. It is said that fifty men out
of each of the companies of Gardes du Corps have
received orders to hold themselves in readiness
for a long march. The whole corps consist of
four 'companies of .200 men each ; the detach-
ment, therefore, will amount to 200, and is re-
ported to be destined to accompany the ..Duke
d'Angonleme to the Spanish frontier. His Royal
Highness's presence, thus attended, has certainly
a hostile aspect.,; and though the aid of such a
detachment might not be necessary to the success
of any enterprise against Spain, it would certainly
give great countenance to the Spaniards who
have so long harrassed the northern frontier; and,
in the mean, time, nothing,- we believe, would
give such pleasure to the war party in France,
as the commission of any excess by the constitu-
tional Government of Spain, which might afford
a pretext for beginning hoitilies.

[NEW TIMES.I •
We have in very recent history a plain and
distinct pattern of revolutionary madness and-
folly, which the faction now or -lately prevail-
ing- in the Spanish capital are copying with the
closest exactness. They have degraded the No-
bility as the French Jacobins did ; they have
robbed the Clergy as the French Jacobins did;.
they have driven the King's loyal subjects to
arms by their' oppression and tyranny,and created
a'civil war, as the French Jacobins did; they
have impoverished the whole country as the
French Jacobins did ; and they will of neces-
sity be obliged to 'make a national bankruptcy,
and sponge 'out great part of the Debt they,
are now contracting, as the French Jacobins did.
The generatimpression produced by reading the
Foreign Journals of the last few days is, that
war is more.serionsly apprehended than it was a
short time ago. The English Cabinet is and has
all along been most earnest in its efforts to 'main-
tain the peace of the Continent ; but the Foreign
Powers seem to apprehend more ultimate danger
of an extended war from suffering the Repub-
licahs of Spain to triumph, than from crushing
their atrocious projects by one F‘ort but powerful
effort.

,
[MORNING HERALD.]-
If any doubt' could exist respecting the real
value of those articles in the Journal des Daats,
to which so much importance was really or af-
fectedly attached, and a sort of official character
so falsely ascribed, that doubt is now removed.
The Moniteur has disavowed and discredited the ,
authority of that Journal on the subject of -war
between France and Spain. It is not worth
while to notice the n;ma-murs or the surmises
of a rebuke being given to the erring Journal by
a Minister, or to hunt the insertion of paragraphs
and counter-paragraphs written to allay the wrath
of a Foreign Ambassador. The chace would
afford neither interest nor amusement. Suffice
it to say, that as far as the French Papers
afford any indication, the relations between
France, Spain, and the Congress, seem still
as entirely matter of uncertainty and specula-
tion as they were a fortnight since. The Moniteur
enters at some length into the question of war
with Spain as a point of international right and
of prudence. But with the exception of a con-
troversial kick, en passant, to the " Liberal "
Journals, and a feeling of hostility to the Spanish
Constitationalistsy Which oozes at every pore, the

article has all the obscurity and mysticism,
though without the depth, of a page of German
metaphysics. If any thing may be collected
from it, it is, that though France may have right
and reason to attack Spain, she also has many
reasons for not attacking that kingdom.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
Speculation is still very busy as to the affairs
of Spain. Many of the Frencl Papers, most de-
voted to the Ministry and to the Court party,
are strongly advocating the necessity of war ;
they breathe out threatening and slaughter
against the Constitutional Government of Spain,
and declare that France must interfere to put

it .down by force of arms. It cannot be denied
that France, as a nation, is strong ; her finances
are unimpaired, her debt trifling ; and she has
an army and officers' whose prowess and abi-
lity cannot be doubted. But the great ques-
tion is, can Louis, with safety to himelf,
send an army into Spain ? What may be the
consequences ? Is there no danger of that
army joining the Spaniards ? Can its allegiance
to the Bourbon family be depended upon ? This
consideration is the only obstacle we believe to a
French invasion; and by pausing Louis is acting
wisely. On the first march of an hostile army,
the Spaniards would be obliged, in their own de-
fence, to place Ferdinand in confinement, to pre-
vent its being made a tool of by their enemies,and
whether his life might not ultimately pay the for-
feit of his past infidelity, is not very questionable.
The Spaniards have suffered too much to trust him
.again ; and while with one hand and one heart
they opposed their invaders, they would, in the
natural fastnesses of the country, as well as in
,their fortresses and cities, oppose barriers pro-
bably too formidable for their enemies to force ;
and the most that could possibly be gained by the
invasion of the Peninsula would be the military
occupation of the country, at a vast expellee,
after three or four campaigns.
