Extracts from the Morning Papers) Oct. 18.

[MORNING POST.]
'We received last night, by Express, French
Papers to the 16th inst. and the Dale of Satur-
day. They contain intelligence from Madrid to
the 6th, which possesses cnnsid►rrabte interest.
The efforts made by Ferdinand' to prolong the
stay of the French army hi his kingdom from the
Ist of January to the Ist of June 18'25, are said
to have been unsuccessful. That is to say, he
I►rni not obtained all that he had implored. With-
out altogether rejecting his application, Charles
X. had in part refused it. Ile consented, it is.
stated, not to withdraw his army- from the Pen-
insula, but expressed his intention to concen-
trate it on the ba►nks of the Ebro, and to leave
French troops no where beyond that river except
In certain fortresses and sea-ports. lie also annouc
ed that Madrid should be evacuated, and that its
present garrison should be sent to.Corunna. It is
added that in consequence of this determination
the wretched King, or rather Viceroy of Spain,
would no longer residein his capital, but would
follow the retrograde movement of the French
anti fix his abode at Burgos, where he should be
►oithin reach of immediate protection. Prepara-
tions ►►ere making in the Episcopal Palace at that
place to-receive him and the Royal Family, un-
der the. pretence that the King of Saxony, who
was expected on a visit to his datighter, did not
wish to go so far as the capitaL That pretence,,
however, is said to have deceived no one, for it was
impossible to believe that a father who willingly
undertook. a journey of several hundred leagues
to visit his child, should wish, for the sake of
a few, to stop short of the city which was her
seat of empire and of glory. It is more likely
that the motive ascribed for this intended remo-
val is the true one, and that Charles X.,
consistent in all his conduct, has really
signaled to the blind and obstinate Ferdi-
nand, that he must no longer rely forsupport
igainst the hostility which his own misgoVern-
va etit daily excites, on the sole protection of
Crance. To withdraw the French army at once,
ar:d altogether, would be to give up Spain to in-
stkut convulsions, and her Despot to ruin and per-
haps
to death. This of course cannot be in the
cou'emplation of Charles X., though he may,
anti probably does think, that' the loss of such a'
Prir..4 would by no means be irreparable. But
that lie wishes to teach him a salutary lesson, and
to deprive him of that confidence, which arising
from the certainty of impunity has hitherto en-
couraged him to follow no other dictates than
these of his violent passions, appears highly proba-
ble. The gradual retirement of the French troops
towards their own country on the ground of " con-
centration," is calculated to warn where we are
afraid warning has no effect. Ferdinand if he
wishes to preserve his throne, must not only se-
cure his life by following the French in their re-
treat ; he must change the wretched and san-
guinary policy on which he has constantly acted
since his return, and must restore to a people
who has known the advantages of free Institu-
tions, some, if not all those which he has de-
tptroyed.

fxr.w Tusits.l
Whilst certain 'writers would persuade us that
the object of all the Continental Governments is
to force mankind back to the barbarous ignorance
of the Dark Ages, we are pleased to see that the
Great Powers ar3 gradually adopting measures of
a mare and more enlightened policy. A Conven-
tion has been.concluded between the Emperor of
Russia and the King of Prussia to abolish red-
,
pro:ally the Duties formerly, paid on all
s'4'l7loV:di or personal property from the ter-
ritories of the one Sovereign to these of
tLe other. This Convention was signed on
the 23d of May by the Ministers Bernstorff
end M rlirenlieim, and ratified by the Emperor
of Russia on the 23d of September. This ma-
sure is the result of views similar to those which
in 1819 produced in France the abolition of the
Drat/VAL/0Mo; and both proceedings distinctly
mark the advance of the age to• true civilization.
In rude ages the Sovereig,n3 derived emolument
from many sources, of revenue alike opposed to
the principles of humanity and of justice. Thus
vessels and goods wrecked on their coasts became
forfeited to them: and thus under the title of
d'Aubaine they seized on the property -of
all foreigners dying within their dominions.—
The former of these claims has long since ceased,
and' the littler has in many instances been
modified into, a duty of ten per cent., culled an
impost of detraction, on succession and legacies
to rOreigners, Similar taxes have been imposed
in cases of dowry, donation, or einivation ; and,
in short, on all transfers of fitly:it° property
(other titan commercial exchanges) from one
country to another. These are wholly abolished
between Russia and Prussia by the Uotivention
just ratified ; for the Sovereigns wisely consider,
0144 in thus facilitating a liberal intercourse bar
tween their respective subjects, they will ulti-
mately promote the mural advantage isf both
tkingdoms.

On land too the Turkish forces have been dk .

memorable field of Marathon.' T butt: bey will sec.

Government shonld persevere in their refusal to

rifler, to attack, burn, or sink, together with
their crevib, al! neutral vessels its Om service of

the Turk Government, orders will be issued
by the other maritime states similar to those
given by our Admiralty ; and in that event the
Greek navy, the most important instrument for
' their emancipation, will be speedily annihilated.
In the 41st number of.the Hydra Gazette there is
published a list of the European vessels em-
ployed in the Egyptian expedition, from which
it appears that there are twenty-six sail under
the flag of England, thirty-five under that of
Austria, and one under that of Sardinia.
We are glad to see, that of the vessels under
the English flag, only one Captain seems,
by his name, to be a native Englishman ;*
the rest are probably Maltese. Whilst, however,
we view with disgust the conduct of those mer-
cenary and unprincipled men who have engaged
themselves to assist in the extirpation of the Chris-
tian population of the Morea, we cannot be in-
sensible to the duty of the English Government
to vindicate the neutral rights of its subjects
trading in the Levant. We may wholly dis-
approve of the measures of the Turkish Go-
vernment, but still we must not forget that
we are on terms of peace and amnity with it ;
nor should we manifest any proof of our poli-
tical morality, if, in violation of the oblige-
tions we owe, by solemn and repeated treaties,
to an old and faithful friend, we were, on the
ground that its severity towards its insurgent
subjects was greater than, in our opinion, the
necessity of the case warranted, to depart from
that even course of neutrality which we have
strictly observed since the attention of the British
Government has been directed to the contest.—
The Turkish Government knows well that money,
arms, and aid of every kind, have been freely
supplied by British subjects ; and it has several
times formally complained of what it has con-
ceived to be an undue bias on the part of the
British Government in favour of the Greeks;
but sanguinary and violent as the Turks may be,
they have not publicly announced their deter-
mination to put to death every British subject who
has given assistance, to the Greeks. If they
had, the British Government must have interfered
" for the protection of the commerce and lives of
its subjects ;" and what the British Government
would and ought to have done against the Turks,
equal justice requires that it should and ought
to do against the Greeks. It may not he amiss
to recal to the memory of our readers Nvlint
passed in the House of Commons on this subjecl
during the Session of 1523.—1 n the month of
May, Mr. Hume stated in his place in Parliament,
that it had been reported that British cruisers had,
upon several occasions of late, not respected the
G reek tlag,in the actual blockade of some Turkish
ports,aud had gone so far as to compel Greek ships
to give up English vessels, which they had taken
in the act of conveying supplies to Turkish forts;
and he expressed a hope that the British Go-
vernment would act an equal part between the
Greeks and Turks in the present contest. Mr.
Secretary Canning, in reply, said, that in one or
two instances the Government had been informed
of a violation of the Greek blockade ; but that,
in one instance especially, which came to their
knowledge a fortnight before, they had imme-
diately sent out must positive orders that the
British cruisers should respect alike the blockade
of both Powers.

[MORNING itartALn.]
Friday's Paris Papers arrived last night. A
private letter from Lisbon states that a treason-
able conspiracy was discovered there on the 26th
of last mouth. The object of the party was to
effect a revolution of the same kind with that at-
tempted by the Prince Don Miguel, and the se-
cret directors are supposed to be the Queen and
the Patriarch. A greal number of arrests had
taken, and continued to lake place. Private let-
ters from Madrid and other parts of Spain con-
tain rumours of a strange and scarcely credible
kind ; such as that 1,5°0 Constitutionalists com-
manded by Colonel Valdez, have effected a de-
scent at 13enicaolo, and defeated the troops sent
out to attack them from Valencia; that several
vessels, with Constitutionalists on hoard, had
appeared off Valencia and Almeria. But a
very obvious question suggests itself, where
have all these Constitutionalists come from ?
Not from Gibraltar nor from Tangiers. The
conjecture thrown out in the Paris Paper which
communicates these rumours appears to be well
founded. It is, that alarming rumours of this
kind are set afloat by the fanatics, to serve as a
pretext for the persecution and murder of persons
supposed of that party. These fanatics, beyond
all doubt, commit the most horrible excesses.—
At Bilbao the rabble of the Faith outraged the
public authorities—these too most decided Ser-
viles—because they interfered between the
victims and their sanguinary persecutors.

[TIIE PUBLIC LLOGEIL]
Private letters from Paris mention that impor-
tant negociations are pending there at this mo-
ment, without throwing, however, any light on
their object, and merely stating the fact with
confidence. In the French Papers, which arrived
last night, there is an indirect confirmation of
this runiour, as they speak or a conference, which
was held on Wednesday evening at the hooAo
of the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, and
at which were present the Ambassadors of all
the Great Powers, This conference lasted from
eight to half-past ten; and, besides the English,
Ambassador at Paris, our Ambassador to
the Court of the Netherlands is said to have as-
sisted. As the latter is one of the oldest and most
flied friends of Mr. Canning, his presence at
this time in the French Capital, though for the
specific purpose of congratulating the new Mo-
narch on his accession, encourages the idea that
it is connected with some object, requiring the
aid of a Diplomatist, who is supposed to possess
the emire confidence of our Foreign Secretary.—
In the mean time the rumour in the private let-
ters is not at all improbable, as, besides the para-
mount interests involved in the question of South
America, the situation of Spain herself has as-
sumed of late a degree of
_importance that is
rather ticklish for the self-constituted guardians
of general tranquillity. Moreover, the affairs of
Greece embarrass them not a ; and, %vitt',

these three questions, (lanai% like mill-stones
from their necks, they will find :t rather difficult
to keep a steady pace themselves, or to prevent
the political machine from getting swamped.
With respect to the New States of America, we
do not see that the least progress has been made
on the subject ; on the contrary, It seems to pre-
sent the same difficulties as ever; and, whilst our
Government has additional inducements to same
decisive resolution, there does not appear any
change in the views of the other Great Powers.
These conflicting sentiments are the more embar-
rassing, as our Ministry would meet Parlia-
ment under rather awkward circumstances, were
they to make no communication to it on this great
question, agreeable to the dignity, interests, and
wishes of the nation. It is therefore possible,
that the chief object of Lord Granville's mission
to the French capital is to impress on what may
be termed a Ministerial Congress of the Great
Powers, the urgent motives that call upon our
Government to put an end to its present tem-
porising policy. As the Spanish Court has just
revived its extravagant pretensions, and is even
trying to negociate a loan for the avowed purpose
of enforcing them, it places our Cabinet in the
dilemma of being obliged to choose, without de-
lay, between truckling to the Holy Ailiance,and
following that course which both honour and in-
terest plainly recommend.

[stoRNINo CHRONICLE.]
It appears from the Second Report of the
Greek Vice-Admiral, dated off Samos, that in
violation of the law of nations, and contrary " to
every principle of humanity, and of the inter-
course of civilised countries," on the 21st Au-
gust, the Greeks " dispersed forty transports of
the enemy, laden with troops, with which they
intended to have effected a landing on that part of
the island of Samos called Eariovasi ;;' that they
succeeded iii gaining possession of four, and
in sinking six, while the rest, being closely pur-
sued, were obliged, to avoid sinking, to run
aground. Who knows how many of these six
transports were English ships ? These barbarous
Greeks made no difference, we fear, between
Turkish ships and the neutrals who merely char-
tered their vessels to-the Turks to allow them to
effect an invasion of Samos. They had no right
to sink the transports, they bad merely a right to
detain them. It is true that the taking a trans-
port filled with men armed to the teeth, is, with
a vessel possessed of a crew greatly inferior in
numbers, something like the Irishman's catching
a Tartar. The Turks of a transport may con-
trive to overpower the crew that takes them. But
that is of no consequence, if they could
not detain the transports, they had no
right to attack and sink them,—they bore the
British flag, and it Is well known that it be-
comes a nation possessed of a powerful navy to
trample on nations who are ',Rich less powerful.
The Greeks, for instance, who are engaged in a
struggle for existence with a powerful empire,
may be safely injured ; and the British flag will
cover itself with immortal glory, by bullying
them in grand style. It was a very iifferent
thing when the French Admiral at Cadiz
insulted our flag.---The French are a powerful
nation, and not fond of being bullied ;
and the wisest thing our Government could do,
was not to provoke them by noticing the affronts
offered to our flan. But it is quite u different
thing with the Greeks. The only law we need
observe with them is Club law, le droll (11 plus
fort. We had a right to charter as many vessels
as we pleased to the Turks ; to land them safe
and sound on the island of Samos, or any other
part of Greece ; and any Greek who dared
to think of protecting his country from the
calamity of an invasion by sinking any of
the vessels carrying the Turkish troop.,
was guilty of the grossest violation of the law
of nations, and u stranger to every thing like hu-
manity,, The promptitude with which the Bri-
tish Government stept forward to vindicate for
its sailors the right of transporting an invading
enemy to the place of its destination, will long
be admired.

[Tiff; TorsEs.]
A new Sinn's!' Loan is gossipped ulrout for the
hundred and fiftieth time, and.we have no hesitation in pro-
nouncing it to be a hundred and fiftieth bubble. It is said,
that the contract in the present instance provides for " the
bonds being sold by commission." That, if authentic, is a
pretty clear proof what sort of a loan has been negociated.
Why should the bonds be sold "by commie:don ?" The
reason is, that there are in truth no contractors—and that not a
shilling's worth of " the bonds" has been yet subscribed for by
any capitalists whatever. When a loan has been really " con-
tracted" for, the contractors always bargain, that if the borrow-
ing Government Will secure to them such a rate of interest, and
such a mode of repaying the principal, they, the contractors,
will undertake to advance to the GovernMent so many hundred
-
thousands, or so many millions of money. That is usually the
substance of a loan contract. But what is this Royal Spanish
method of raising the wind ? Does any body undertake to
procure a single dollar for Ferdinand ? No, the undertaking is
all the other way. Instead of the lender pledging himself
to advance money upon certain terms, or on any terms, for
this faithless Monarch, he—the man who wants to borrow—
proposes to send his notes by waggon-loads into the market,
and he " undertakes" to allow a per centage to each one of hi.s
own agents who may he clever enough to hoax the public out
of' their money, by passing off; in ever such small quanti-
ties, the contents of the aforesaid waggons. Why, who is
there that may not conclude a loan contract as complete and
efrective as this ? What swindler may not whisper to his
gang, Run away, and put off in all directions as many of
our flash notes as you can. find fools to take, and keep fee
" iii every pound Y°ll client them-Of ?" This, though a novel
kind of loan-making to with Ring
Ferdinand, a
same w
hatthsetarleest
aodfvicEeu, rolpiee,
case of M. Ottebhard. Did that succeed ? On the con..
triedis it in the
trary, it is notorious that this projector, with the selemn
" contract" for a " Royal. Spanish loan" in his packet, could
not raise fig. in the British market, anti but a pitiful sum
among the Paris merchata, of whom the few that did sub-
scribe their names were tempted to do so, by the groundless
hope of a secret guarantee from the French Government.
Since the days of Guebhard, Spanish credit has sunk front the
freezing point to something under Zero. To wave the subject of
loans " raised by commission," which assume it as a certainty
that no contract exists, we proceed to state, that on the present
occasion no respectable house in London is a party to, or is even
aware of, any contract for a Joan of money to Spain. Nor,
should such a contract be taken in Paris, can it he by tnen of
credit in that capital; for no great transaction in the na-
ture of loan is attempted, without a communication be.
tween the capitalists on both sides the Channel. Either,
then, the whole story; is, according to our first hypothe-
sis, a fabricaton, or if a contract has token place, there
is not character enough among the parties signing it to ensure
the sale of a single bond upon the Exchange of London or
Paris. There seems no doubt that England and France have
united in strong representations to Ferdinand upon the neces.
shy of retrieving Spanish credit. Both kingdoms have demands
upon the Government of Spain, which, while her finances con-
tinue in their actual state of disorder and destitution, it is phy-
sically impossible for her to satisfy, The British creditors are;
clamorous for pay, and the debt to France accumulates every
hour. M. Zea Bermudez has been severely pressed from both;
