LONDON,
SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1822.

We refer our Readers to our other columns
for the important Manifesto of the Spanish Go-
vernment, and to the interesting Debates in the
of Commons last night, particularly re-
-BPecting the recent atrocities of the Turks at
t'°nstantinople and Scio. The Spanish Docu-
4'ent also demands particular attention, as it de-
elopes officially the sentiments of Spain respect-
ing her former transatlantic possessions.—Both
Of
these subjects are highly important, and de-
mand more animadversion than we have room for
at
Present ; but we shall forthwith revert to them
with due consideration.

aria Papers of Wednesday and Thursday
have arrived. In the French Chamber of De-
PtnieS the discussion on the projet of law for the
regulation of the Customs was continued, in
which M. de ST. CRICQ, Director General of the
Customs, stated in broad terms the principle on
hich the French Government propose to regu-
14te the foreign trade of France. CC Our doc-
(g
he said " is comprized in these
cc Ws
rus purchase from others the least

" possible amount of those commodities which
cc we cannot produce ourselves, and to fur-
" nish to others the greatest possible amount
"of what they do not produce, or of
cc what we can supply them on conditions suit-
" able to them." M. SEDASTIANI approved of
the restrictive measures proposed by the Govern-
ment respecting iron and cattle, but objected to
those relative to sugars. This speaker entered
into a variety of arguments, to shew the necessity
of granting the Colonies a free and unrestricted
trade, and of lowering the duties on foreign sugars.
On the subject of the duties on iron and cattle,
he contended that the late war had increased the
importance of the iron works of France to such
an extent as to render it incumbent on the Go-

vernment to protect them by restrictions on foreign
iron ; and that the introduction of foreign cattle
on several points of their frontiers would be ruin-
ous to French agriculture. We extract the fol-
lowing passages of the report of M. SEBASTIANI'S
speech :

" The introduction of English iron by the continuation of the
present system, would be the ruin of the manufacturers of
French iron ; I vote with so much • the more eagerness for
the measure proposed by the law respecting this article, be-
cause it is with iron that the liberty and independence of nations
is defended—(laughter and murmurs on the right)—and that we
ought not to depend upon our neighbours, too often punished
for having it placed largely at our disposal:
" 1 regard also as ruinous to our agriculture the introduction
on several points of our frontiers of foreign cattle. It is a me-
laneoly consideration that this measure should re-act upon our
neighbours of Germany and Piedmont: but I cannot conceal
my astonishment as to the harsh measures ordered hythose na-
tions against the products of our soil and our industry. Tilt.),
may, without insult, without ill-humour, oppose Custom-house
measures to Custom-house measures, but a nation of 30,000,000
inhabitants, which fought for their independence and their ag-
grandisement, does not deserve so much ingratitude—(move-
ments in different senses.)
" A voice, Yes, Germany owes us much obligation.'
N. Sebastiani—" They treat in general the French Govern-
ment with a lightness truly lowering to national dignity.
" The Speaker pointed out respecting cattle an omission in
the projet, the tariff on lean cattle not being enough, and offer-
ing facilities to fraud. In this view the proposed measures woe
at least incomplete; your agriculture has made immense pro-
gress; it may still. I hope that, following the example of the
Germans, we shall soon feed our cattle with potatoes. It is ac-
knowledged that the same quantity of land cultivated with na-
tural or artificial products, which can only feed one ox, will
feed at least seven when planted with potatoes."
On the 2.6 th the debate on this Law was re-
sumed, when M. Laic E, who opened it, quoted the example of
England, in justification of severe commercial restrictions ; and
" the system of prohibition," he said, " to which the continen-
" tal blockade had given an immense application during the
" war, had been continued and even extended since the peace.
" After having been directed at first against England, and then
" against France, it had been put in practice by all states
" against each other. England, now imitated every where, had
" first adopted the system, and it was not, therefore, very re-
" markable, that, finding it enforced against her, she should be
" inclined to change her practice. She had derived from prohibi-
" tions all the advantages that she could hope for; she had ac-
" cumulated immense capitals : her industry had been so much
" developed, that she was obliged to seek for a large outlet, and
" perhaps on this account she had come to the point of saying
" now we will receive you, only receive us.' " After some other
considerations on the external and internal commerce of France,
and having pointed out the advantages which would arise by
treaties and commercial relations with new states, without,
however, expressing any opinion on the political question,
M. Leine declared his opinion in favour of continuing and ex-
tending the relations of the kingdom with the Indies, with Bra-
zil, and the Havannah. He strongly objected to the imposition
of a duty on foreign sugars, sufficiently high to enable the co-
lonies to sell their produce at 83f., as was proposed in the pro-
ject, pointing out the danger which would resent from fixing by
law an atbitrary price upon commodities. If the colonies were
gratified in a claim of this kind, he saw no reason for refusing it
to the growers of grain or possessors of vineyards. He thought
it at least doubtful whether the French colonies could supply a
sufficient quantity of sugar for the consumption of France, and
therefore if foreign sugar were prohibited, or subjected to pro-
hibitory duties, the price of the article would rise in a proportion
not to be calculated. The Ex-Minister concluded by proposing
to reduce to 25c. the duty on the exportation of wine for whatever
country destined. An interruption succeeded, when M. de
PO3IPIERES endeavoured to speak, and his opponents to pro.
tect themselves against his speech by cries of " question." He,
however, persisted, and was heard. The greatest part of his
speech consisted in the defence of a free trade. Can you
hope," said he, " that in prohibiting the introduction of foreign
" produce, foreigners will not prohibit yours ? If you can con-
" ceive such a hope," added he, " I will refer you to our his-
" tory for its frustration. In 1666, COLBERT imposed heavy
" duties upon articles of foreign manufacture; Holland re-
" monstrated, and on the refusal to alleviate them, she pro-
" hibited our wines, our brandies, and our manufactures."—
Various amendments were then proposed. One member sug-
gested that the duties on sugars from the French colonies should
be reduced 1-4th on their present amount. Another, that the
duties on sugar should be reduced to 10f. per quintal. The last
proposition was rejected.

The following are extracts :
PARIS, JUNE 20.—The Journal de Maine et Loire of the
20th instant says :—" This morning General Berton, Dela-
lande and Baudriller were conveyed from the Castle of Saumur
in the direction of Poitiers. The carriage in which they were
placed was escorted by a great part of the Regiment of Cara-
bineers of Monsieur."

His Royal Highness Monsieur has granted 500 francs for the
establishment at Brest of a School of Brethren of the Christian
doctrine.

A Courier set out on Monday from the Russian Embassy for
St. Petersburgh.

ODESSA, JUKE I.—lt appears certain that the Principalities
of Wallachia and Moldavia will not be evacuated, but that
only the Asiatic troops have been sent beyond the Danube, and
replaced by European troops. But this forms, perhaps, a
clause in the convention concluded at Constantinople under the
mediation of the English and Austrian Ambassadors. There
is still a garrison of 5,000 men at Bucharest. Our letters from
Constantinople are of the 29th May. They continue to relate
the greatest horrors, especially as to the sale, of slaves. The
children of Chio under seven years of age, whom no one will
purchase, are drowned. The extermination of the Greek na-
tion appears to be determined upon.
PETERSBURGH, MAY 14.—The exchange of couriers be-
tween our Cabinet and that of Vienna is very frequent.
The Guards are expected here immediately. His Imperial
Majesty, after reviewing them at Minsk, will himself issue the
orders for their return ; a part of the Guards will occupy the
residence, and the rest will be cantoned during the summer in
the neighbourhood.
The number of the Conservatcur Impartial, published yester-
day, contains the official recital of the disasters at Scio.
The Gazette ileademique gave yesterday the itinerary day by
day of the Turkish troops which have evacuated Moldavia and
Wallachia. It is impossible now to doubt a fact which is the
most certain guarantee for the maintenance of peace.
PAMPELUNA, JUNE 18.—Five hundred armed men are in
the mountains, in different parties, waiting a favourable op-
portunity to join General Quesada, who is at the head of 600
men at Saint Jean Pied de Port. This General has circu-
lated Proclamations, which have produced a great sensation.
BARCELONA, JUNE 15.—The insurgents commanded by
Mosen-Anton, to the number of 800 men, were beaten at Olost,
near Vich, on the 10th instant. General Milans, known in the
war of independence, left Vich, to attack them with his divi-
sion. The firing commenced at four o'clock in the morning,
and at half-past six the rebels abandoned the field of battle to
the constitutional troops, leaving one hundred dead on the
spot, and a more considerable number wounded. Six in-
surgents, taken with arms in their hands, were tried on the
following day by a Court Martial. Four were condemned and
shot ; the two remaining were spared, on account of their ex-
treme youth.
MUNICH, JUNE 15.—The measures adopted by the Bava-
rian Government in imposing very heavy duties on all articles
coming from France have now been officially published, and

take effect immediately. The following particulars chew the
vast additions made to the duties :

Old Duty.

tion, per cwt. - • - -

These duties to be levied without regard to the State from
which they are imported into the kingdom. Only some excep-
tions will be made (aftei previous understanding and agree-
ment) with respect to those neighbouring States which shall
adopt similar measures. The transit of the above articles
through Bavaria to be allowed as heretofore, on payment of the
established duties.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 26._.A cry of horror will resound
throughout Europe, when the new cruelties in Scio are made
known. All are massacred. Even the 78 Prelates, who were
detained as hostages, have been cut to pieces in the fort. The
generous French consul, Degeon, is the most to be pitied.—He
had gone into the villages and proclaimed the Turkish amnesty,
and at the same time pledged himself for the Sultan's giving
pardon. The inhabitants on this surrendered all their arms;
on which the Asiatics fell on thirteen villages, and executed a
general massacre. All fell without defenqe under the sword of
the Turks, who behaved with the most refined cruelty. The
whole island is a sepulchre ; the few women and children who
were sheltered in the French consulate are in the deepest misery.
Some Greeks still combat in the mountains, but their destruc-
tion is certain. These events have excited such terror here,
that nobody ventures to intercede for a Greek family, for fear
of being included in the same proscription.—(A/genuine Zei-
tung, June 18.)
SE MLI Ju NE 3.—Letters from Bitaglia, of May 23, have
been received at Belgrade, from which it appears that conster-
nation prevails in that part of the country. The Turks are
advancing in great force towards Larissa. The agents of the
English are said to have succeeded in inducing the Suliots and
Albanians to submit to Chourschid Pacha, who will soon effect
his junction with the Pacha of Salonicha to march through Li-
vadia against the Morea. Decisive events may therefore soon
be expected in those parts. Nothing but a miracle can save
the Greeks, as affairs now stand. It is affirmed that the opera-
tions of the Turks, both by sea and land, are directed by En-
glish officers, and that they have promised entirely to quell the
insurrection of the Greeks before the termination of the nego-
ciations with Russia.—(-11/gnzeine Zeitung, June 17.)

Madrid Papers to the 20th instant arrived yes-
terday by an extraordinary conveyance.
In the Universal of the 16th we find an explanation addressed
to the Cortes by Don RAMONLiu, who was Minister of the
Interior when General RIEOO was dismissed. This Ex-
Minister says, that in consequence of seeing a representation of
EtEGo to the Cortes, strongly censuring his conduct, and call-
ing for his impeachment, he was induced to offer this statement
for his own justification. He declares that RIEGo had no
right to make the complaint which,he did, because, in signing
the order for depriving him of the general command of Arra-
gon, he infringed no article of the Constitution, and broke no
law of the kingdom. In conclusion, he demands that if his trial
is to go on before the Commission to which it was referred, he
should be heard in his own defence.

An interesting discussion took place in the Cortes on the
15th on the State of the Nation, when the Report of the Com-
mission was referred to, and its suggestions taken into consi-
deration. Senor GALTANO said he was disposed to agree to
most of its recommendations, although he would strongly ob-
ject to receive the whole of them. He agreed with the commis-
sionin thinking that the lamentable state of the country arose
from various causes, some of which were inevitable ; that many
of the evils which afflicted them sprung up with the very Re-
form on which they had placed their hopes of ultimate benefit ;
but that others arose from the discontent of protected indi-
viduals, and were fomented by foreigners—by a foreign go-
vermnent, which the Cortes had denominated the most odious
of all Europe, because it employed its forces against a neigh-
bouring nation, which it had not courage to oppose face to face.
Senor CASTEJAN quoted a part of the report, and found
fault with many parts of the system which had been pursued
since the re-establishment of the constitution, and the delays
observed in some celebrated processes and dispositions made
by the different departments, the motives of which he could
not comprehend.
After some observations from ARGUELLES, and several
other members, the Cortes agreed to receive the report of the
Commission.

From the proceedings of the Sitting of the Cortes of the 16th
day, we give the following extract relative to the late loan :
There was read this day a dispatch from the Minister of
Finance, which stated, that m consequence of the decree of the
Cortes respecting the loan negociated between the late Minister
VALLEJO and the house of ARDO U IN, I3U,BAIID, and Co.,
there had been various conferences held with the contractors,
and the result was, that they had changed the conditions ac.
cording to the plan which had been submitted to the Cortes for
its approbation. The plan was then read. Senors Iminiz,
FERRER, and CANGA, requested a Special Commission on the
subject, and the result being against them, the Deputies
CANGA and FERRE n said, they could not concur with the late
Committee, of which they were members, because they could
not understand the subject. It was then agreed that this plan
should be referred to the First Finance Committee, to prepare
it with proper dispatch."

American Papers arrived in town this morning.
Charlestown Papers to the Ist of June. We
extract the following from them :

HAVANNA'', MAY 12.—The Commandant of the Customs
has been arrested and thrown into the I%loro, for personally as-
sisting in smuggling, and the vessel, an American schooner,
seized. His brother the Treasurer, was likely to keep him com-
pany, for his fidelity to the Revenue. These are two patriotic
young men, who obtained their offices for their vociferous at-
tachment to the Constitution. Vera Cruz is in a bad way ; the
fortress will not suffer any vessel to enter.
CunAcoA, MAY 4.—General MORALES has still a consi-
derable force under his command, and was, according to the
last accounts, on the coast, near the bite of Maracaybo. The
last arrivals from Coro bring accounts that no vessel would be
allowed to watch on the coast in possession of the Columbians
for the space of 14 days. This measure had been adopted to
prevent the escape by sea of MoItALES or his troops.
FRENCH TREATY.—I have it from what I deem an un-
questionable source, that the leading points have been agreed
upon at Washington ; the treaty will probably be for eighteen
months, on terms of reciprocal equality.
P. P. F. DEGRAND.
(Prom Degrand's Weekly Report.)

We feel happy in giving additional publicity to the follow-
ing letter, which has beeii written by order of the Marquis
Wellesley. It fully demonstrates his Excellency's anxiety to
prevent a recurrence of the unfortunate calamities that now so
alarmingly prevail in so many quarters :
" CIRCULAR.

" The Lord Lieutenant being desirous of learning the pro-
bable extent of the potatoe crop of this season, as compared with
that of each of the two preceding years ; and his Excellency hav-
ing commanded me to procure this information from the opi-
nious of intelligent and practical men in the different counties
in Ireland, I take the liberty of requesting that you will answer
the enclosed queries from
information you can procure, within a
week at farthest, and any further observations you are good
enough to communicate will be very acceptable.
" I have the honour to remain, our obedient servant,
" THOMAS RADCLIFF.

" 120, Summer Hill, June 20, 1822.
" P.S. Direct to me under cover, To Alexander Mangin,
Esq. Dublin Castle.'
QUERIES.-" Ist. Does the present extent of the potatoc-
crop of this season, in your county, exceed or fall short of that
of 1821, or of 1820; and in what proportions repectively ?
" 2d. Did the potatoe-crop in either, and in which, of these
years, exceed or fall short of sufficient supply ?
" 3d. Can you by any computation 'estimate the quantity
produced in each year ?
" 4th. What is the latest time at which potatoes may be
safely planted, so as to return a moderate crop ?
" sth. Upon equal soil, what may be the difference of produce
in point of quality, between the early and the late planting, and
as to quality, can potatoes thus produced be relied on as whole-
some food, or merely as seed for the season ?
" Have the goodness to return this sheet with your answers."
—(Freeman's Dublin Journal. )

It is calculated, from the nature of the busi,
ness still before Parliament, that the Session can,
not terminate before the first week in August.
