MOST 1 MPORTA N I. !!!—Our readers know that
several of the linonapartean officers who went off to Spain from
this country, had returned from Corunna before the submission
of General Illost tram. We now can state the-important fact,
that a number of these officers set OW two days ago, on their
return to Spain, on board the Royal George steam-packet !
Their destination is Cadiz, or any other port of Spain occupit4
by the Constitutional troops ! The packet proceeded from th
River to I'o,•tsmouth, and thence to Jersey, which has lately
been the remkzvous of the French refugee officers. We are
in possession of many important circumstances connected with
this precious cargo of the Royal George, which we deem it pru.
dent not to mention at present!—(From the British Monitor,

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

artrads from the Morning Papers, September 8.

[THE TIMES.]
It will be observed, and not without pleasure,
that the French themselves begin to express some
apprehension respecting the issue of the blockade
of Cadiz,. We, however, should wish to have
better authority than their opinion before we be-
gin to triumph. They have been so obviously
mistaken in all their calculations or assertions re-
specting the issue of this unfortunate war, that
we are not quite content to trust them even
when predicting their owl.' misadventures.—
One thing, howver, is certaior notn, which
in liberat-
is, that'
whothee the e
Cortes succeed
ing Cadiz from its invaders, they at least have
deserved success by the firmness of their pa-
triotism, and the obstinacy of their defence. We
do not speak of the constitution which they have
formed, but simply of their resistance to a' band
of foreigners come to destroy it. Cadiz is one of
the last holds of Spanish independence, and the
confidence with which the besiegers once antici-
pated its speedy fall, and the doubts which they
now express, constitute the highest eulogy of
those by whom it has been defended. The
failure of Buonaparte, it was said, before this
place could not be assumed as a test of its im-
pregnability, because Cadiz during his unblest
entergrize was open to the sea ; on the present
occasion it has been blockaded both by sea and
laud ; Spaniards from without have betrayed ;
others, probnbly, within may be but luke-warm
in their zeal—for, opposed as we are to the
tyranoy of Ferdinand, we see but too clearly
that antiquated prejudices have some adherents
every where ; and yet the Cortes still resist—
Cadia still remains in the occupancy of true-born
Spaniards. Whatever, therefore, may be the re-
sult, the defenders of that city will not have
disgraced themselves. But there 'are other
matters worthy of consideration. Suppose Cadiz
taken, will the embarrassments of the French
terminate with the success of that enterprise ?
Suppose all the besieged places to fall, will Fer-
dinand be immediately replaced, and
heelcured on
his throne ? Will he be reseated in earts of
his people ? Alas ! to conquer is not to convert.
Success obtained by foreign arms will but increase
the national hatred against him who has been
made the pretext for the invasion. When there
are no, enemies in the field, or in fortified towns,
if ever that period arrive, the French, we sup-
pose, will retire ; and if the Spaniards shall then
be content to accept and embrace the legacies
which tvtll have been left them, of an absolute im-
becile, and a sanguinary inquisition, they will be
unworthy of their own high name, as well as ofany
thought or regard from free-born men, and inde-
pendent states. Let them sink, as they will
sink, into superstition, ignorance,, and barbarism,
till happier times for regeneration arise. But our
Opinion h, that whenever the French shall re-
tire, they will find that they have effected abto.
Cutely nothing by their unjust war; the affairs of
the Peninsula will come back to the very posi-
tion (if not a worse) in which they stood before
the invasion took place ; and the Bourbons will
have to resume their old complaints of restless
neigh boars, and the dissemination of dangerous
principles.

[M6IINING POST.]
Ala late hour last night we received Brussels
Papers to the ‘Gth inst. Their contents are nut
generally important. On the 21st ult. a' decree
had been issued by the King of the Netherlands,
abolishing- the Roma►► Catholic Society, the chief
seat of which is Utrecht, and the Catholio Society
of Belgium, .whose chief seat is Brussels, because
those Societies had been formed in the kingdom
without the knowledge and consent of the Go-
vernment, and because they' had shewn them-
selves, by divers' circumstances which were pe-
'cullarto them, as institutions, the further exist-
ence of which would influence the public trait-
in a manner the extent. of which could
ant be foreseen.

We understand that, in its Meeting of Satur-
day, the Greek Committee received a communi-
cation from the Provisional Government of
Greece. It was presented by Mr. Blaquiere,
whose recent visit to the Morea has enabled him
to collect a variety of important facts as to the
real state of affairs in tb*t.country. 'The verbal
acco►rnt given by Mr. Blaquiere, as to the pro.
gress of the war, and system.of civil and military
organization, is said to have proved highly satis-
factory to the Committee. But we will not anti-
cipate a report which Mr. Blaquiere is, we un-
derstand, drawing up for the information of the
committee, . to be presented in their next sitting.

Portugal is fast Verging to a state of anarchy
and confusion, the t cannot fall to produce the
most serious consequences. The last advices re-
ceived from Lisbon, which are fully borne out by
the testimony of persons lately arrived from that
• place, represent the fermentation in the minds of
"the people, occasioned by the acts of the new
GrOVenicrictit to be at the present moment so
alarming, that a re-4etion of the most terrible
kind was dolly expected. The indignation of the
better orders lied risen to the 'highest pitch.
This state of public feeling, therefore, completely
belies the • insidious assurance of those who
represented the late aristocracy and
mili-
tary revolution as having been effected
with the good•will and concurrence of all
classes. This was the idea inculcated by
Count Palmello, in his diplomatic Circular,
in the speech addressed to the Committee named
to frame n new Constitution, and in that of the
Marquess de Marialva at his first public audience
in Paris. IlUve, indeed, could these, parasites
havee, the assurance to maintain that unanimity of
sentiment prevailed among the Portuguese peo-
ple, when.it is well known that the sole cause of
the late re-action was bribery among the sol-
diersoind when it is moreover remembered that
the new Government, since it was instituted,
has Only been able to maintain itself by resorting
