Extracts from the Morning Papers, July 23.

(MORNING ERA r.n.l
Tuesday's Paris Papers, with the Etaile, dated
Wednesday, arrived last night. The Etoile has
. once more South Amerivan intelligence from
Madrid. According to this news, Bolivar, com-
pletely diseomfitted by the RoyalistS,, had atm-
cloned Peru altogether, anti made the best of his
way to the Colombian territory. In order to re.
piove any doubts or suspicions of this intelligence,
.the-French Journal gravely declares that it is
derived from eye-Witnesses ; but as these letters
are no‘ referred to—which.might afford ground of
.cavil against their evidence—all objection is put
ar► end to by the declaration that the account of
the defeat of Bolivar has been published in the
Madrid Gazette!!. There is but little else worth
particular notice in these papers. The discussion
of. the Budget still continued in the Chamber of
Deputies, with, as usual a strong tide in support
o'l4 Minister.

[Nov TIMES.]
We are informed that another attachment was
yesterday laid upon the moneys raised for the
ColombitmGovernment in the hands of the con.
tractors. This attachment differs from the former,
inasmuch as the individuals constituting the Go,
vernment are now sued, instead of the" Govern.
merit of Colombia"—no such Government,or any
other of the South American States, being re..
cognized in our Courts of Law. It is now con-
tended that the individuals above alluded to are
responsible, like any other individuals, for con-
tracts entered into by them, or by their agents
duly authorised. It is asserted that debts to a
large amount have been incurred by such agents ;
and the question will speedily be determined as
to the liability of the individuals sued. We
understand that the parties included in the' pro-
cess hie—Simon Bolivar, F. P. Santander, Jose
M. Strabo, P. Goal, D. B. Urbanego, J. M.
Castello, and P. B. Mendez. The claim is made
by,a Mr. Walton.

D4011:2•11t40 CURONICLL)
Ass 'article under the head of Mentz, or
Mayence, 13th July, which appeared first in
a Frankfort Journal, and was thence copied Into
the Paris Journals (see extracts from the Etoik
iu ;The Chronicleof yesterday ), has created a con.
sidera hie sensation. It stated some truths, which
could not fail to be very unpalatable to the
Wore liberal part of the Administration. The
dispatching Count Munster to Johannisberg, ,
charged with a negociation, having for object the
sending a Hanoverian force to Portugal, is repre.
rented as most glorious for Prince Mkternich. " By
this step," it is said, " the English Government
does homage to the conservative principles of the
Oply Alliance, and implicitly recognizes the
right of interference which it so-decidedly con.
Amnia doing the 150anish..war." NOthing can
be.more true, and It is cutting, precisely because
itis.true. No one can doubt whence this pnra-
Iltraiilt issued ; :or whence the contradiction is.
sued which the poor Frankfort Journalist has
been obliged to insert, (see Extracts from the
. Paris Papers in The Chronicle of this day), after
the original article, had, served its purpose.—
" We'll re within-lied," says the Gazelle of Frank-
fl4rl, " to declare,, that the article dated Mayence,
July, 13, in our No. of the 15th ofJuly, contains
wily Abe and fictitious statements." False and
fictitious statements ! The Julse and fictitious
statements are the consequences drawn from the
embassy of Count Munster, that the English
Government thereby does homage to the comer-
online principles, of the Holy, dilliunce. Why
the contradiction, instead of serving as an antidote
to the original article, only gives en additional
sting to it. Prince Metternich knew very well,
that—the inference drawn from the presence of
Count Minister, at Johannisberg, sins the only
Wo'f6 which any man of common sense could draw,
and the contradiction is something a-kin to Lord
Peter's attempt to palm a brown loaf en his
brothers for excellent mutton.

[THE nstes.i
The paragraph in the Doile, which we noticed
yesterday more for amusement than as consider-
ing it entitled to any serious notice, has drawn
forth long and laboured lucubratious from some
of our cotemporaries. In our judgment, the .Toile
and its Ultra neighbours of Germany are work-
ing to very little purpose, when they fancy that
the English nation, whatever may be the bias of
the King's Ministers, will suffer itself, under any
pretext, to be involved in the meshes of the Holy
Alliance. We long since published intelligence
conveyed to us, that in all probability no troops
under the controul of this Government, whether
British or Hanoverian, would be sent to Lisbon,
to act under the orders of King John. The
dispatch of a naval armament, reinforced by
marines, few Englishmen, observers of the
course of foreign politics, will object to, inasmuch
as the establishment of our gallant navy is rather
perhaps below the level of the times, than open
to censure for extravagance. But with regard to
these Ultra Royalist speculations concerning the
mission of Count Munster to Prince Metternich's
diplomatic circle at Johannisberg, the first idea
of collecting Hanoverian troops for a voyage of
interference, no matter on what side of the ques-
tion, with the politics of a distant Power, did no
doubt appear to have placed the Count and
the German Cabinet of George IV. in a pitiable
sort of dilemma. If the consent of that non-
descript, the Germanic Diet, were, by its
constitution, indispensable to the legality of
the proposed armament issuing from a Ger-
man State (and the Diet, of course, would be
ready enough to set up such a pretension), it is
obvious that Prince Metternich and the rest of
the legitimates would clog their acquiescence
with conditions tending to give the Anglo-
Hanoverian expedition to Portugal a colouring
favourable to the views of the Holy Alliance.—
How, in case of the Hanoverian troops being
sent, our Government could manage to force
upon the world their own construction of the
measure, in opposition to that of the Austrian
Minister, we have yet to learn. Prince Metter-
nich would say—l sanction your enterprize, be-
cause it is a virtual recognition of the doctrines
of the Holy Alliance. Mr. Canning cannot ac-
cept the authority so expressed, seed off the
troops, and then turn round upon Europe—" I
" have dispatched an army to Portugal, but it is
" not in confederacy with the Holy Alliance or
" its principles"—that would be a breach of
faith to the Alliance. To keep faith with them,
on the other hand, he must break it to the
British nation : so, with regard to this Hanove-
rian army, we suspect that, as Puff' describes it,
Ministers may have felt themselves " at a dead
lock." The grand hope is, that they will follow
throughout, the advice which, from the first, we
ventured to offer them—namely, to steer clear of
the trap which had been laid for them, and, ex-
cept as a preventive of invasion from other
quartet'', to shun, as. they, would disgrace itself,
the proposed occupation of Portugal.

[BRITISH PRESS.)
We have received advices from Corfu to the
21st of June, bringing us important intelligence
with respect to the lodgement of the Greek
Loan at Zante. On the I gilt inst. a Proclama-
tion was issued by the lonian Senate, declaring
the decree of the Greek Government, fur depo-
siting money within the lonian territory, to by a
violation of the neutrality which it was their de-
termination to maintain. The lonian Government
will not suffer its shores to be used us a depot for
money or warlike stores by either of the con-
tending parties, and it denounces the full penalty
of the existing laws against such of its subjects as
shall allow the loan to be deposited with them.
If the offenders be aliens, they will be banished.
This Proclamation is,. to say the least, founded
on a very strict construction of the principles of
neutrality. If the lonian Senate are right, the
British Government must have given the Porte
just cause of oar in suffering the loan to be
raised in this country ; for surely it will nut be
arguilli,at:y wasaatit tislrmoely
oprercrimioal to take rare that
the rr
applied, than it was, in
the first instance, to raise the loan.—During
the late Spanish war, the Cortes openly
raised money in England, and nu one
dreamed that it was a violation of the., strict
neutrality his INlajessy's Ministers professed.—
Why, then, should this objection be now taken
against the Greeks ? The }Metope to confound
44 money and warlike stores" will not avail the
lonian,Senate ; nut that we know of any inter-
national law which prohibits the supply of war-
like stores by neutrals, to contending parties,
who may choose to purchase them. But if money
is now to be declared coutraband, it. will be ne-
cessary to inquire into the character of every
bill of exchange drawn for or upon the subjectsof
every belligerent power, and offered for payment
in the neutral territory. Besides, us yet the loan
has not become the property of the Greeks. It
belongs to British subjects; and it is only while it
remains their property that it is to be deposited
at Zante or Cerigo. We arc afraid that this
hasty and over scrupulous interference of the
lonian Senate will • have the effect of putting the
Greeks and their creditors to considerable 'newt-
venience. The decree of the legislative body,
will give the utmost satisfaction,. as to the dispo-
sition of the Greeks themselves, with -respect to
the loan. Not a shilling is to be applied to cover
former ex petters. The o bole dedicated
to the future charges of the struggle. Tile earn
which Colonel Stanhope ascribes to the Gret.k
Legislature, respecting the appropriation of pub-
lie money,' is strikingly exemplified in the fulness
of the, terms of the law, and in the obvious anxiety
to prevent the smallest [forting of the money from
being appliedloany purposesdifferent from those
for which it rs borrowed.
