sist in demanding- the sarrenaek of Citdii kind
of the KING and' the Royal Family, as an in-
dispensable pieliminary to a treaty ! We fell
into the natural error of concluding that the
French Generalissimo was convinced that the
fate of Cadiz and of .the Constitution was ou the
eve of being inevitably decided, when we found
that he had sent for the French Ambassador, the
Marquess de TALAR U, from Madrid. The expec-
tations which be had formed, whatever they may
have been, would seem, however, to have vanish•
ed, for we now learn, by the following important
notice in the Madrid Restaurador, that the Mar- I
Mar-
quess had received a rovocation of his orders to
repair to head-quarters, at the very moment when
he was about to set out on -his journey :-7-
" We announced yesterday that the Marquis de Talaru,
Ambassador of his Majesty the King of France to the Regency,
had set off for the head-quarters at St. Mary. We to-day
learn, that just as his Excellency was stepping into his carriage,
he received dispatches, by virtue of,which, doubtless, his jour-
ney was suspended. We gave as a fact, what was only on the
point of being done."—( El Restaurador.)

We have received the followiug comcnuttica-

lion from a respectable Correspondent, posses-
sing good sources of information. We cannot,
however, vouch for the authenticity of his pre-

sent statements :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Paris, Sept. 22, 1823.

The accounts from Cadiz state, that the in-
habitants of that City are soliciting terms of the
Duke, and that the whole affair will instantly be
concluded by negociation.
Be assured that no congress will be held.—
England put an end to that project by a firm re-
monstrance. Be assured also, that nothing will
shake the neutrality of Great Britnin. This I
can most positively assert. Yours, &c.

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this
morning at 8311 for the Account, but owing to
the absence of news from Paris, the Market ap-

pears heavy, and there are some sellers at 83 for
Money, with little doing.—A general report pre-
vails that one sail of the line and three frigates
have been ordered to sail from Portsmouth in great
haste, and that their real destination is not known.
By some it is supposed to be South America.—
Another report also prevails that a fleet is going
to be fitted out, in consequence of the intrigues

of the Russian Cabinet in the affairs of Spain. It
was said early this morning that the French
Rentes had come 90f. 25c., but I cannot trace
this statement to any authentic source.
FOREIGN :NIA !MET. Scarcely any business
doing in the above market, except in Colombian
and Spanish Bonds. The appointment of Con-
suls to South America (exclusively announced by
you yesterday), has given great satisfaction to
the merchants.

We are sorry to observe that several of our
Contemporaries, no doubt from inadvertency,
are contributing to prejudice the case of the
poor Spitalfields Weavers, previous to the next
Session of Parliament, when it is expected
that another attempt will be made to de-
prive them of their long cherished privileges.
Paragraphs are every now and then mak-
ing their appearance, in which the prin-
ciple of the Spitalfields Acts is not only
attacked, but in which it is attempted to pro-
duce the belief, by exaggerated statements and
artful misrepresentations, that the operation of
the Acts is extremely injurious to the weavers
themselves, and that it will eventually have
no other effect than to drive the manufac-
ture entirely from Spitalfields into other dis-
tricts. As a specimen of the boldness with
which assertions of this kind are hazarded,
we quote the following pithy paragraph from
Morning Paper of this day :—" Silk manufac-
tories are daily increasing in Essex, and in the
country generally."—We trust that we are duly
impressed with an idea of the magnitude of the
Silk manufacture, and of • the rapidity with
which the 'spirit of enterprise in this coun-
try effects any object of profitable speculation ;
but we confess that we were not prepared to
hear of so quick a growth of extensive build-
ings, fitted up with appropriate-,machinery and
other manufacturing apparatus, as must be the
case if they are really springing up daily, like
mushrooms, over the surface of the country!
Even, however, if there is a danger that
Spitalfiekls may be injured by the mis-
chievous competition of districts lying without the
palaof the Spitalfields Acts, we fearlessly main-
tain that the remedy ought to be sought for, not
at the expellee of the many thousands of indus-
trious families for whose protection the Acts
in question were framed, but by the extension of
the Acts to those other districts in which the Silk
Manufacture now is, or may heregiter be, carried
on ! That is the course which a prudent,
just, wise, and practically skilful, Legislature
would adopt, in spite of the drivelling and absurd
theories of visionary Political Economists.
