The news from.Spaintootttaining no new facts
or inidents, is made up of gloomy
,forebodirms
and fearful apprehensions. Letters dated the
6th ult., and received from Cadiz yesterday, by
way of Gibraltar, are of. the above complexion.
Grief may paralize the faculty of invention, and
therefore, perhaps, it is, that, the imagination
or the recollection of the writers cannot travel
beyond the now hackneyed expression of
Francis 1., which is thus parodied All
is lost, even our honour." Yet Cadiz, we
know even from the French themselves, ha&de-
fended herself for. a fortnight at least since the
date of the letters; nor was any immediate ex-
pectation held out of its surrender or capture.—
Another epistle, without signature,, but under•
stood to be written by a member of the Cortes,
and addressed to Spaniard in this country, has
the following passage :--" Henceforth call.your-
" self a German, Swede, a Russian, by any
44 name rather titrin that of Spaniard, which is for
" ever disgraced and dishonoured. The affair is
44 over; and it is my intention to embark on the
" first occasio4 that presents, itself, to seek an
" asylum Smith America." The Swede's,
Germans,‘or Russians, may thank the gentleman
for the honour intended them by the assumption of
their names, but would probably all of them pre-
fer confining the rights of citizenship, to the na-
tivOs of their own country. We are, however,
glad that some,Spaniards are sensible of the ge-
neral disgrace. In one of the Morning Papers
are two letters, supposed to have. passed between
the Duke of Augouleme and the .King of Spain.
They contain nothing new, except a recommen.
dation by the Duke to the King, whom be rani
44 his Brother!" to convoke the ancient Cortes
as loon ;as he shall be restored to liberty, which
recommendation the. King, being still in bondage,
thinks a very foolish one. We have some doubt
respecting- the genuineness of these productions.

[BRITISH PRESS.
Tuesday's French papers are wholly desti.
tote of any interest. The menaced attack OR the
Isle of Leonia yet lingering away. The Etoile
possesses no further intelligence from Angou-
leme's head-quarters, beyond the gossip that the
camelion traitor, Wanted°, dined on.the /Ist of
September with Angouleme ; and that Daperre,
the French Admiral, on obstacles being started
to the projected attack and its success, replied,
46 the word impassible is not French." This, as
the courier Francais remarks, is a stale reply, and
has been already put into the mouths of fifty
Generals. ft was re-heated, and served up by
the French sailor, at Angouleme's table, and
made a good dish of flattery for the Bourbons.—
It is again said, that an order of the bigot Duke's.

Spanish Authorities, and that lie was on hir way
to Madrid, under a strong escort. if !deg° be
murdered by the wretches into whose' hands
he will be now delivered, nothing will wipe
his blood from --Angoulerne's' hands ;',,ori
the moral rouraii alone wilt rest; ='enti all
Europe' will point to him is guilly:
sweeping decree of death has already been
issued by ,the fell Regency against the' Cortes
and ail their adherents; and to recognize then,
merely is now all that is sufficient, under that
hellish decree, far the axe'to fall on their heads.
Riego!s doom, in their ruffian hands, would there-
fore be fixed at once. But how does this vile
conduct of Angouleine's suit with the Andujar
Decree of 'not two months since I What con-1
sisfenc'y 'is there in both t Or did he then think
to cajole the Cortes into' submission ; and has lie
thrown off the mask of moderation with
creased success ? But will the Regency .presume,
to execute' the Spanish Chief without the
Mandate of; Ferdinand ? and will he,' even in
the French camp, sign the death-warrant of a matt

tamiliarity,r---whom he invited in Madrid repeat-
edly to the Palace, and sate most unreservedly

7th of July, isi2, restrained the fury orthe po-
pulace in the capital, when the Guards failed in
the attack on the Palace, and protected Ferdinand
and his family from their indignation. Does Fer-
dinand possess the taste for blood as well Its the,
dissimulation with which he is charged? and were
all his vows. And oaths to the Constitution us
yet dissembled ? Lauriston, formerly a high
Buonapartist, but now as devoted & Servile, has
violated, it is said, the terms of capitulation at
Patnpeltsua, and imprisoned several of the Ma-
bitants for Constitutional principles. The true
spirit of the, faction that urged the war ic now
breaking out ; every day discloses it. The
Noniteur contains, in its official part, a re.
port of Duperrtt's bombardment of Santi Petri.
Every action of the French Jives for days in the
columns of their papers in inflated exaggeration.
Duperro swells out his detail as if it were
the preparations for the attack and capture of an
enemy's fleet. We regret, however, to say that,
whether from treachery or some other cause, the
bigoted Bourhon and his Janissaries have as yet
been but too successful within the Pyrenees, and
the Spaniards, with the exception of Catalonia,
lutve not fought as they should have done in such
a cause.

to his Majesty's subjects in generalt, 'pasts-

Act of the 4th year of his present Majesty, it is
/muted, 46 that if any petson should occasion any
kind of obstruction or -annoyance ht or upon any
street, lane, square, yard, court, alley, passage,
or place ; or shall obstruct or incommode the
same, &c. ; the persons so offending shall for-
feit any sum not exceeding five pounds ; and
that' it shall be lawful for any constable, &c.,
without warrant, to seize the persons so offending,
and convey' them before any Magistrate, to be
dealt with according to law."—The notice then
adds his Lordship's intention, that in case of
the practice complained of in the preamble of
his notice being continued, he shall put the Act
of Parliament in force. This appears to be,
another ,attempt to strain some of the re-
cent notable Acts of the Legislative, to ap-
ply to what it was never intended that they
should apply to. Surely half a dozen or a
dozen persons have an undoubted right peace-
ably, to assemble together in the broad day, in
the middle of a public court, which is no thoroug-
fare, and there transact a little business, with-
out its being called an offence under the Act of
Parliament alluded to: but the real truth of the
matter is, that the Stock Exchange Committee,
(who are, no doubt, the real movers in this busi-
ness) think that if they can carry their point in
the present case, many of the jobbers who now
assemble in the court, will be compelled to get
themselves made members of the Stock Ex-
change, and thus have to contribute their
subscription towards the support of that esta-
blishment, as well as to submit to its very
arbitrary laws. Whether the Lord Mayor will
put his threats into execution, remains to be seen ;
but during the whole of 'yesterday the jobbers
remained in the court, as usual, quite unmolested,
and it is questioned whether the Stock Exchange.
Committee, backed by the Lord Mayor, al-
though they bark so loud, will dare attempt to
bite.

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

[From the Bristol Observer of Oct. 1, 18231

" What is it but a map of busy life?"--Cowmen.

Six years have' elapsed since we submitted .our
pretensions as Journalists to the PUblic ; and, with a full re.
collection. of the professions with which our career waccein-
merteed, we can review our labours with a pleasing consei-
ti
oneness that they have been fairly realized. We stated that we
were perfectly independent inPrlietaly;toanbdrewsk‘'
a have
lailie shown
with
ourselves to be so, by being alike
the Quixotic but well-harnessed Radicalism which at one
period was to be met with in our streets, or to apply the curb
or the lash, as the case might require, to that blind andhlund.
erine LoYaltrwhieh, by. indiscriminate civility to the powers

presentthem,lhas but too often brought a good cause Into dis.
repute. ~ As Tories,. who are not unable, on proper oacaaions,
to assign good reasons .for -our Political faith, we. havemain.
tabled our independence not . leis firmly than our principles:,
and hence it has happened that, whenever The .Bristol 06,
server has chosen to speak omit its voice has been neither un-
heard nor unregarded. We reerilleet also that we, were amongst
the first who endeavoured to place in their proper and favour-
able light the claims of the Agriculturists; as domestic and be.
neficial employers of British lehour end capital, to the same
Legislative protection which other Manufacturers enjoy;
it when those worthy persons,: not satisfied with having
tained justice, began to run riot, and to fancy them.ol
Ives, on account of the sympathy which their case
had excited, a privileged class for whose benefit all
others 'were to be taxed, we were. early in adminis.
tering, it first friendly admonition, and, when the milder ap-
plication had proved unavailing, gentle correction, The MI
-
mediate purpose,however, of this Address, is to state that,
having established ThC Bristol Observer to please ourselves.
we are about to discontinue it for the same good reason, or, in
ether words, because it demands more attention than,ifor some
months past, we have been enabled to bestow upon tt, Whilst
other and new arrangements render it improbable that we should
in future be even as mindful of its claims as we have been ;
end it is alike inconsistent with our habits and feelings to allow
it to sink quietly into the slumbering dulness.of a loosely4on-
ducted Provincial Paper.• We have been, ileum-tied that we
might dispose of it. to advantage; but we devote it rather to
honourable death than to inglorious existence, from the same
motives which prompt a kin master to indulge with a brace of
bullets the favourite limiter, which has' for several seasons car-
riodd him with • pleasure, safety, and reputation, rather than
devote him by sale to the chance of starvation and drudgery us
a hackney roach-horse. We beg, to thank our friends, and
they have been neither few nor indifferent, for the support
which The Bristol Observer has received, (which hits every
year enriched us rather than otherwise,) and to inforrOthent
that it died this. morning—our Readers will doubtless add,
" universally lamented."

*.• We are induced to insert the preceding article, on 'ac-
count of the liberal and manly tone in istoich the Proprietor
declares the extinction of Ins Paper, and as a warning to those,
who, tempted by the extraordinary success which has attended
certain London Journals, and the awn:nous prices for which
the Copy-right has been sold, might •be. led to expose them-
selves to disappointment, and perhaps ruin, by embarking in
'kind property. If in large a commercial city as-liristol,
a loyal and spirited writer, after a trial of six years, has not
found sufficient encouragement to proceed, and lies probably
expended 3 vast sum in the endeavour to obtain for it a perma-
nent establMmerit, has at length inflicted a death warrant
on his Paper, the melancholy circumstanea presents a striking
lesson to those who are disposed to venture on similar specula-
tions. Many events may contribute to the temporary success
of a Public Journal, :but when it changes hands in conse-
quence of the death or discretion of its former Proprietor* .the
resources of its proseerity are often Withdrawn, the property is
PrnPnifionably deteriorated, and the new speculators not only
suffer bitter disappointment, but; are perhaps finally involved
in severe embarrassments.
