[MORNING HERALD.]

Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated Sep.
(ember 27, 1824 It is to-morrow that the
battalions of the Royal‘st Volunteers are to set
out for the Escurial, where they are to mount
guard upon the Palace, the Ist of October, the
tinatirly. Until versary
their return, they will enjoy an of the. King's arrival at Port St.
wi
increase of 25 sous a day in their pay, contri-
buted by the principality- of Madrid. The gay
and elated espect of these men,
forms a striking
contrast with the sad and despairing looks of
numberless respectable families now traversing
the streets on their way to exile ; for the
Police are indefatigable in driving from the
city the wives, children, relations, and even
(Heeds of the refugees at Gibraltar or in
England, under pretext that these latter
make use of the former to spread iatelligeuce
and reports tending to encourage a spirit hos-
tile to the present Government. The police
also continue to make daily arrests of persons
implicated, or supposed to be implicated, in the
affair of the Ex-Minister Cruz.----Yesterday the
Marquis de Giraldi, a distinguished Military,
Officer, was put into confinement ; and the day
before, the Army Intendant, Aguilar y Conde,
was brought In here under a strong escort,
manacled like a criminal, and is now confined
in the seminary of the Nobles, where several
other chambers are preparing for • State pri-
goners, whose arrival is shortly expected, as it
appears the provincial police are emulous of the
activity of their brethren of the capital, and have
laid their bands upon several persons of note.
The execution of the Constitutionalists still goes
on vigorously. There have been put to death
here several prisoners taken from a Guerilla
party which exists in the neighbourhood of Ta-
ra:igen ; and letters from Andalusia and Murcia
are filled with accounts of military executions
that have taken place at both these points.—
Accounts from the Captains-General of the Pro.
vinces state that the organization of the corps of
Royalist Volunteers is going on with consider-
abletctivity all over the kingdom, as well us in
the capital, where his Majesty has contributed
largely from the privy purse towards the equip-
ment of the 4th battalion of Royalist Volunteers.
Rapid progress is also making in the formation of
the Royal Guard, of which there are already
three cavalry regiments organized ; and it is ex-
pected that before the close of the year, these
troops will amount to six or seven thousand men.
•The loan proposed by M. Zea Bermudez is the
'Chief topic of conversation here to-day. It is said
that the terms offered by the banking-house,
whit!) I mentioned in one of my last letters, hav-
ing been submitted to the Council of State, were
rejected in their first
,s4ting, because, it was re-
quired to recogaize liefirtrthe loans made to the
Cortes ; and, what is. not a little singular, this
same Council is occupied, by order of the. King,
in framing the project of an expedition to the
Colonies, whilst,
a
reject the only tthe they
possible offer
thetaselves of enabling their Government to
give even a commencement of execution to such
a project.' I mentioned to you, some time ago, a
note presented by the Foreign Ambassadors here,
praying his Majesty to restore to their civil rights,
and to fix pensions upon the most deserving in.
dividual of those known under the name of Af.
rancesados and that his Majesty had referred this
note to the Council of Castile. The result is, that
htialevel4dlesecilialsre'may grant them an
ttlittehaKtitolig:sA Majestyttorneys of the Council,
amnesty, but nothing more. The value of
the Royal amnesty is sufficiently known not to
call for a great effusion of gratitude upon the
occasion. It is pretty generally thought that M.
Vincenti will replace M. l3allesteros as Finance
Minister. M. Vincenti has a very high character
as a financier, and is probably the only man in
Spain at present the mostcapable of tilling so dif-
ficult en employment. M. Zea I3ermudez has
suspended' the •notttination to various consul.'
ships made by M. Silazar, who held, ad interim,

the Portfeuille of Foreign Affairs since the dis.
missal of Count Ofalia. It is thought that the
Duke del Infantado will be sent by the King to
Paris to congratulate Charles X. on his accession
to the Throne. Since the King's arrival at the
Iscurial his health has considerably improved ;
but that of the Infanta Maria Francesca still
continues most precarious. In a consultation
held upon her case the day before yesterday, a
new method of treatment was proposed by the
celebrated physician Castello, from which great
hopes are entertained."

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
Our contemporary of The New Times very
kindly tells us that " we ought not to meddle
with subjects on which we are so incompetent to
treat as the Law of Nations."—We are not, of
course, equally well informed on all the matters
which solicit our attention, and it would be pre-
sumption in us to claim a knowledge of what is
called interpational law, a subject to which our

attention has been only occasionally directed,
equal to that of our contemporary, whose life has
been devoted to the study and practice of it.—
It was hardly generous, however, in so learned a
Theban as our contemporary, to throw his Doc-
tor's bonnet in our face, as it were, in order to
heighten still more his superiority, by adding the
force of awe to the force of argument. It is an
old trick of Lawyers to browbeat the unlearned,
as if, says Lord K limes, in his Principles of Equity,
41 the knowledge of law, like the hidden mysteries
of some ancient deity (ought to be) confined to its
votaries; ns if all others were in duty bound to
blind and implicit subthission." So far does our
contemporary presume upon his superiority, that
he seems to think the Greeks may be cruelly
wronged, because there is no man here fit toargue
with himself. Our contemporary may be com-
pared to a man who runs with a drawn sword at
a man who is only provided with a stick, telling
him, it does not become you, without equal arms,
to resist me ; be so good as to keep down your
stick, and let me run you through the body !
However, it sometimes happens in other laws as
well as the Law of Nations, admitting always
the propriety of calling that Law, which the
strong may refuse to obey and the weak
cannot enforce, that skilful lawyer, with a
bad cause, is beaten by an unlearned litigant with
justice on his side. This we humbly think will
be the case at present. The justice of the Greek
cause will enable us, humble though we be, to
triumph over one of the most learned Civilians
of the age, all whose skill gill be utterly
thrown away on the disgraceful cause which Sir
F. Adam has entrusted to his skill. If our in-
competency is an overmatch for our contempo-
rary's learning and experience—if he who has,
no doubt, often made the worse appear the better
cause, and procured many a triumph to injustice,
can yet do nothing for Sir Frederick Adam,
all men of sense will only think the higher of the
Greeks. In fact the question, which our Con.

temporary has taken so much pains to perplex, is
a very simple one indeed. It is one which,
without going to Egypt for cases, may he very
easily understood. In fact, many a butcher's
dog in this metropolis, will decide the question as
soundly as our Learned contemporary. If, while
two of these animals are at strife, a third inter-

Peres. the dog against whom the new corner di-
rects his energies will endeavour to bite him in re-

turn. The 'Dirks and Greeks are combating each
other, certain Englishmen and Germans take the
side of the Greeks, and prepare themselves for
death, or impalement, or worse. Certain► other
Englishmen again join the Turks, and by so doing
justify the Greeks in treatink them exactly as
they would treat Turks. If English sailors
transport Turkish soldiers to Greece, they are
hostilely employed against the Greeks, and
both they, and the Turks whom they are con-
veying, may be attacked, captured, or de-
stroyed. They renounced the protection to which
they are entitled from their Government, the
moment they entered the Turkish service, and re-
ceived wages from the Turkish Government. The
ships which bore the Turkish soldiers through the
deep were as much Turkish as the horses bearing
their bodies to the battle on land, which they
might obtain from Englishmen, would be Turkish.
The ships, and the men who navigate the ships,
may unquestionably be captured or destroyed) at
the discretion of the Greeks.

The Gentleman, who, after having been fifty
years united in the bands of wedlock, is said to have forgot that
he ever was married, must have been blessed with a wife of ten
thousand.

Most of the cotton-works in this town have now

been shut up for a month, and we regret that
there is yet no prospect of . the operative cotton
spinners coming to a right understanding with
their employers. One proprietor has engaged
weavers for his wheels at set wages of one guinea
a week ; and anxious to attain a business so much
better paid, in every point so superior to their
own, the men are paying great attention, and are
coming on.far beyond the proprietor's expecta-
Hons. The cotton-shinning, we are informed, is'
by no means so difficult to learn as many people
suppose. With six days' teaching, experience
only is necessary to complete the spinner.—
(Glasgow, Chronicle.)
Simrnons,,the Bury horse-stealer, who k will
he recollected, swallowed a quantity of arsenic when under ex-
amination on his first apprehension, still continues speechless,
and,,until very lately, it was impossible to make him hear.
These defects, it is now believed, are the consequences arising
front the eff'ects of the poison, and are not feigned in order to '
escape the vengeance of the law. The prisoner has lately re.
covered a slight sense of hearing on one side; but the poison
continues to prey upon his constitution ; and such are the
symptoms, that it is thought to his other crimes he will have
added that of self.murder.—(Esrex Herald.)
EAGLES.—Yesterday morning an
eagle
_and a vulture, which were kept in Mr.
Brooks's yard, near the School of Anatomy, in
Blenheim-street, got loose from the chain that. is
fastened to their leg, and flew on the top of the
wall. Their appearance excited some curiosity.
The vulture was.secured, but the eagle flew into
the street: A carman.. who was passing, cut at
the bird with his whip, when it mounted into the
air. But übable.t.o maintain its elevation, it soon
descended, , and. alighted in Marlborough-street.
Several persons endeavoured to secure it, when it
again toot :flight along Marlborough-street and
Poland .street,. and was secured-in the latter with
some difficulty, and taken to the Doctor's house.
