The Active, -, from Newry, was driven on shore on
Thursday at Liverpool, and tilled with water.

Reports had been circulated that the Talbot and Rapid
steam.boats, engaged in the passage from London to Ostend,
were lost in the late gales, but we are happy to hear they were
without foundation; the latter vessel was driven past Ostend
a short time since and got safe into Antwerp.—Nire are con-
cerned to hear that an oversew-pilot, named William Clark,
belonging to Dover, was lost with an American ship on the
coast of Holland, boundi to Amsterdam. Only one man be-
longing to the ship was saved, the rest, 13 in number, met a
watery grave. Clark has left a wife and young family unpru.
vided for.—His Majesty's ship Ramillies, lying in the Downs,
sprung a leak in the night of the 10th instant, when it was
accidentally discovered she had nearly six feet water in her
hold ; in consequence of' which she will proceed as soon as the
weather will permit for Sheerness, where she will be docked.—
The leak is supposed to have been occasioned by a bolt being
loosened under the step of the foremast. One of the amain
named Pearce, belonging to this ship, unfortunately fell fruits
the topmast yard, upon the forecastle, and died in about ten
minutes after the accident.—( Keistish Gazelle.)

About twelve months since a promise was
made to the children of the Sabbath School at
Gretna, that such of them us would ettenl for
one year without being a day absent, excppt iu
case of indisposition, should each bp rewarded
with a Bible ; and what is very surprising, ilia
whole of the scholars (about 130 in number) at
the expiration of the year were found entitled ti
the reward.

No fewer than four persons died very suddenly
in Paisley in the course of last week. One was
found dead in his bed, another in his arm chair at
the fire-side, a third dit.d nfter less than an hour's
illness, and the fourth, it is supposed, was killed
by a fall, as u considerable quantity of blood Wtx
discovered at the place where he was found.
Dewhirst, who was committed to
Horsemonger-lane prison from littion-hall, elk
Thursday last, on suspicion of having, mardered
his child, will be brought up for re-examination
next week, when some additional evidence wilt
be offered. The prisoner partook of tea after he
had been conveyed to gaol, and he was then (cu-
ducted by Mutes, one of the turnkeys, to n room
culled the strong room, where he was confined
during the night, guarded by two men, to prevent
him from committing any act of violence upott
himself. He was previously searched, but
nothing more than a large mass of papers
relating to his affairs was found upon him ;
these were returned to him. During the
night, he scarcely ever. closed his eyes

We received last night, by express, French pa-

It appears that the report which prevailed in the
City a day or two ago that the evacuation of the
Peninsula had been stopped, also obtained par-
' tial circulation and credit in the French Metro-
-polls. it arose perhaps from a statement in the
Arista, qua that the Commander-in-Chief of the
French troops in Spain had consented to sus-
pend for 20 days their retreat, having judged it
proper and necessary to wait for an aswEir to an
autograph letter addressed by Ferdinand to the
King of France. This statement and the rn-
.
mourlo which it gave birth, attracted the atten-
tion of the French Ministers, who have contra-
dicted it through their official Paper the Etoile,
in the following manner :—" We believe that
the Ariittirque has been ill informed. The eva-
cuation will commence not conditionally, but po-
sitively, the Ist December. This measure is the
result of a convention made, as we have said, in
concert between Franco and Spain, and not a
measure of recrimination or hostility, as some
Journals have pretended."—(lbid)

There were no arrivals whatever yesterday
at the Foreign Post Office, and the following
Mails were due :—One Flanders, two Dutch,
one Gottenburg, and four Hamburg. The con-
tinuance of stropg winds from the Westward has
occasioned consitrerable interruption to the inter-
course with. the Continent. It was positively
stated yesterday in the City, that at a recent Ca-
binet Council the French Government had come
to the resolution of continuing the French troops►
in Spain. The report of their being withdrawn
some days ago produced an advance in the price
of Spanish Bonds ; but yesterday, although
there was little business doing in any of the

Funds, those tionds fell one per cent., which
ascribed to the belief that the aboye resolution
oo the part of France is authentic. The Bonds
at the close of business were 22u. South Atne-

Ti Securities experienced vet), altera-
tion, and were mostly a quarter per cent. lower
than on the preceding day.—The British Funds
remained steady. at 95-!a for the present account,
and 96-H for January. .

[Tp:

In the Argos, aßuenos Aires paper, of the

21st of August, we find a curious proclamation or
manifesto of General Olaneta, 'addressed to the
inhabitants of Peru, dated from Potosi, June 20.
In this document the Royalist General delivers
his political creed respecting governments and
colonization ; and, like a true bigot, denounces
the penalties of war and proscription against all
those who differ with him even in its minor
articles. Nay, the greatest heretics in his opi-
nion seem to be—not those who deny the Nude.
mental principle of the colonial faith, the right of
• the mother country to the obedience of Pero, but
—La Sortie, Canterac, Valdez, and the party who
supported the rights of the mother country on
•6* constitutional system. It certainly would
appear to require a good deal of boldness in a
man who had himself held a command under
the Constitutional Government, and who saw
.around him other states and other parties, not
only claiming the civil freedom which that Go.
• vertutumt professed to confer, but demanding and
• asserting the absolute i►►dependence of Spain,
to declare himself not only against the indepen-
dents, but against the army and the Generals

who still held out for the king whom he pre-
tended to serve. `the principles and defence of
such a man should be heard from his own mouth.
64 1 have never," says he, 44 been constitutional;
cc and whether it was by invincible inclin►ttion,
'4 or by a conviction that this false liberty is
44 nothing but a chimera fatal to the happiness
44 of mankind, L have always respected,and con-
" stantly obeyed, the paternal Government under
44 whose protection we have lived. have al-
" ways loved ,our Kings, and venerated the
" anointed of the Lord, who have shed on
44 us a multitucle of blessings. Thence have

" proceeded the hatred find opposition of
" the Constitutionalists of Pyru towards me

" —thence I have been treated by them as a
pure Royalist, a servile, and a fanatic." But
this " irresistible inclination," this loyal ti
in-
stinct," which led him to respect the rights of
the 44 true Prince," did not prevent him from
acting under the Jacobins whom he denounces.
lie always, however, as he assures us, lamented
the evils of liberal policies, and looked forward
to the happier futurity of absolute power. The
picture which he presents to the minds of the
Peruvians, of the civil disorders and sacrilegious
horrors of the Constitutional system, seems nearly
a copy of that which was drawn in the proclama-
tions of the Urgel Regency, or the manifestos of
'the `Trappist; it would therefore bo superfluous to
transcribe any of its exaggerations. This rebellious
spirit manifested itself in the deposition of the
Viceroy Pezuela. Commencing with this act, the
General draivs up a long,bill of indictment against
the Constitutional party, and the faction which,
though opposed to him, still supports the cause
of Spain. That faction dismissed from employ.
ment all those whom they suspected of loyal sea.
timents, and! appointed to all offices, civil and
military, their own trusty adherents. " What,
" in such a case," he asks, 64 ought to be the
“ conduct of a Royalist" General ? To oppose
't4 himself, with all his forces, to such ignominious
" degradation —to die rather than consent to such
ionominy. These were my resolutions. Firm
" my purpose of supporting at ail hazards the
" rights of religion and of the King; and with
64 that caution which the danger demanded, i ar.

" ranged the means of repressing the pride of
46 those base minds whom neither love nor con-
" science could sway." At the moment when
Olaneta was forming these schemes (which before
this he kept to himself), the news of the King's
release, and of the overthrow of the Spanish Con-
stitution, arrived in Peru. The party opposed
to him had expressed rti)Jinequivocal opinion re.
specting the Spanish waer:illey had severely in-
veighed against enterprise of the Duke of Angoh-
leme,
.and the conduct of the French Govern-
ment. The sentiments with which the intelli-
gence from Cadiz was received by them cannot
therefore' be a subject of doubt. Olaneto ac-
cuses them of wishing to preserve Peru as a re-
fuge for the exiles of the Cortes ; but, be thetas it
may, he shows the strength of their party and the
weakness of his own, by the admission that the
division of troops which he commanded was the
only part of the army opposed to their designs.
After mentioning this fact, the General goes on
to state the manceuvres employed to disband his
force, to deprive him of its confidence, or to re-
move him from its command. These manceu-
vres, and the mode in which they were eluded,
ara to us of as little political importance as the
events of a fox-chase. In consequence of dis.
covering their object, he resolved to proclaim the
absolute King, and 44 to proscribe the dischiev-
-44 code of the Consitution in the provinces of Po-
" tosi and Charcas, inviting the people to unite
44 in favour of order and religion, which had
44 been impiously attacked." At the beginning
of February, he proposed to the Viceroy that he
should be allowed to command, unmolested,
within certain limits ; and the Viceroy, we are'
told, answered the proposal by detaching the j
army of the south against him. At the same
time Valdez offered to bribe him into submission
by a purse of 20,000 dollars and two employ-
ments during his life. This of course he re-
fused. At length a treaty was made between
Valdez and Olaneta, on the 9th of March, which,
as the latter in the proclamation before us de-
clares, was only a manceuvre to gain time on the
part of the former. All the stipulations of
this convention, Olunetu, according to his own
statement, strictly observed. On the contrary,
he accuses the Liberals of encroaching on
his territory, and limiting his power. Scarcely
was the treaty sanctioned by the Viceroy,
when Valdez circulated an order resuming
the military command intrusted to him by direct
stipulation. Under various pretexts, his troops
were invited to desert, his standard, and join
the forces of his opponents. At one time un
army had arrived on the coast ; at another,
Camerae required an additional force to oppose
Bolivar. The General, in this manifesto, re-
probate all these artifices, and denounces them
as the fruit of knavery and perfidy. Firm in
loyalty to his King, and confident in the sup.
port of his troops, he resolves to main-
tale his ground against the faction of the Con-
stitutionalists. 44 Convinced," he adds, " that
" they pretend to establish a traitorous Go-
" vernment, incompatible with the tranquillity
44 of America, I must overcome my repugnance
" to civil war, and avail myself of arms to repel
" it. My desire is to favour tho public wishes
" by being useful to the King, the object of my
" love,and my fatigues, It was my duty to show
to Peru the grounds which I have for maintain-
" the war which has been declared against me,
46 being ready to sacrifice myself for religion,
" the Xing, and the wise laws, which unfor-
" tunately have been contemned." In the pre-
sent state of our information respecting Peru,
it would be unwise to speculate on the re-
lative strength of the parties, or the motives
by which they are actuated, or the objects which
they may ultimately have in view. It appears
evident from this proclamation that Olaneta is
for Ferdinand and Spain—that the faction of La,
Serna, Valdez, and Contemn, are opposed to
Olaneta—and that the Independents under Bo-
livar are opposed to both. But for whom or for
what does this middle faction contend ? Not for
Ferdinaud, who refuses their services and pro-
scribes their persons—not for Spain, which is
ruled by Ferdinand—anti not for the Indepen-
dents, who deny their claims, and fight against
their pretensions.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The Paris Morning and Evening Papers of
Wednesday, which arrived last night, are not
remarkable for the interest they excite, or the
intelligence they communicate. The resolution
of the French Government ' to withdraw the
Army of Occupation from Spain, seems to be de-
finitively taken, and the Dale insists that it is a
measure of concert between the two Courts, and
that no letter has been written by Ferdinand,

to request that the French troops may be al-
lowed to remain in his kingdom. It is not un-
likely, we think, that lie looks forward to
their departure with satisfaction, in order that
he may play the absolute King in perfection.
The soldiers of, the Faith, though they must
be conscious that they owe their ascendancy en.
tirely to.,the'French, have, nevertheless, always
hated them, because the Duke of Angouleme, in
the memorable decree of Andujar, felt it neces-
sary to check the frightful excesses of the Anti-
Constitutionalists, It is a fact worthy of being
noticed at this moment, when the French Minis-
terial Papers.are labouring with so much earnest-
ness to persuade us that the most friendly feelings
subsist between the Governments of Paris and
Madrid, that the Spanish General 13allasteros
had the honour of a public audience granted
to him, on Tuesday morning, by the Dauphin,
the Dauphine, and the Duchess of Berry. This
reception, is so marked, that we cannot but con-
sider it as a. direct and open reproof to Ferdi-
nand Vtl., for refusing to fulfil the capitulations,
to which the honour of the Dauphin was
pledged. The Monitcur but a demi-official
statement of the nuthbers and distribution of the
forces that will be left in Spain. It does not
differ much from the accounts that have been
published in the other Journals. The Von.
stitulionnal argues the Spanish question with
considerable ability, and strikingly contrasts the
present language of M. de Villele's supporters
with the Minksier's declarations on invading
Spain. The memorable dilemma, by which Mr.

Canning justified the neutrality of the British
Government, is quoted—" Either the French
will not succeed in their enterprize, and in that
case it would be useless for us to take a part in
the quarrel; or they wilt conquer Spain, but if
they do, to what good purpose will they convert
their success ?" The French did succeed. They
spent 300 millions of francs to obtain success,
and what single result of a desirable kind have
they gained ? They are withdrawing their forces,
because, astheMinisterialJournals avow, " if they
had continued to occupy Spain for W years, they
would not have been advanced one step towards the
pacification of the country." This is the reason
expressly assigned in the Drapcau Blanc, M. de
Villele's organ, for the evacuation. And in
what state do they leave Spain ? M. Duvergier
de thuranne, a late Deputy, has well described
in a few words, in a pamphlet he has just pub-
lished--" The Spanish Government is adminis-
tered on the wildest principals of folly and
wickedness. The mob cry Death to the Nogros,'
and the Ministers write to the military commis•
sions, 4 Kill them.'"

[MORNING- CHRONICLE.]
The flirtation betwixt the Amiable Charles
and the Beloved Ferdinand has closed just as
was expected, for no portion of the French army
is to be immediately withdrawn from Spain.—
Ferdinand has requested of Charles the services
of the French army for a few months longer, for
they are absolOtely necessary to protect him from
the indignation of his subjects, and Charles has
complied with the request of this Absolute King.
No part of the French armed law-givers is
therefore to be withdrawn from Spain during
the winter months, and thus France must pay,
and Spain suffer, for the protection of a King
against his own people. Spanish Bonds have
consequently declined two per cent., for
strong doubts are entertained of the justice of
Ferdinand, so long 'as he is Absolute. He has,
however, a divine right to govern Spaniards as
he pleases. Portuguese Bonds are a shade clearer,
and will continue to maintain a high value so long
as his Most Faithful Majesty remains the favourite
ally of Great Britain. Russian Bonds have
been forced on the market, but still they
support their prices. Surely the partition of
the Turkish Empire ought not to render
Russian security less valuable. Yesterday the
lust instalment was paid up on the Greek
Loan. This will complete the bargain on the
part of British merchants with the Grecian Na-
tion, and it now belongs to Greece to perform her
part with equal honour. As yet certainly no ex-
ertions have been made to support her credit in the
monied market, but this evil will be remedied
when her true interests are better known.—
Danish and Prussian Bonds continued to support
high prices, both of them being above par. In
American Securities no alteration could be noted,
although a good deal of business continued to be
clone in all descriptions of them. In the Mexican
Mining Shares a further advance must be noted ;
the Angla-Mexican having been sold at 311. to
321. and the United Mexican at 291. to 301.

[MORNING HERALD.]
There are now two great agents, which move
and regulaN human affitirs—money and vapour.
The Irish Criabolics have been long trying the
power of vepour, but with little or no success.
They have, therefore, recently, employed the
other power—money, and with a degree of success
boasted, of by friends,—bewailed by enemies. The
voluntary subscription, called the Catholic Rent,
swells as it advances, enormously,—and what is
strange, no doubt, the Catholics have had a great
accession of learned and literary friends, since
the fact has become known. Even Protestant
subscriptions have been sent—probably In the
contemplation of a general election. One fact
is clear, that the Irish Catholics—clergy and
lay—are decidedly in favour of the Catholic
Association and Rent. The adversaries of the
Catholics feel, or affect to feel, some alarm
at these proceedings and denounce them. But
the Catholic Association seems to keep with-
in the protection of the law, and is unmo-
lested by the Attorney-General. It is true the
opponents of the Catholic claims advise the Ca-
tholics strongly to disclaim Mr. O'Connell and
the Rent, us they regard the success of their
claims. But they seem to reply as one General
did to another who advised him to take different
ground for his encampment-4i I did not come
here," said the former, 4' to ask advice of an
enemy."

dispute ; but the fact itself, we believe, is liable
;to none. All the preparations had been com-
pleted when the counter.order arrived ; but the
last advices from Madrid are at variance with re-
spect to the cause of this sudden change. However,
themostprobable explanation is, that which im-
plies cow :042n Oil the part of the Spanish Go.
verument. Ferdinand, who is as timid in cir-
cumstances•or real difficulty, as he is arrogant in
prosperity, would scarcely venture to oppose his
wishes to the peremptory deniunds of the French
Court : and the latter knows the value of con.
sistency too well, to depart from the lofty
tone, which, from the beginning, it has as-
sumed .on this subect. it is, therefore, pro-
habit?' that the concessions of the Spanish Mo.
narch anu to the publication of a real amnesty
and to the fulfilment of the capitulations con-
cluded between the Duke of Augouleme and the
Commander of the Constitutional Forces.—We
fear to indulge in the hope that the promise of a
Constitutional system is included in the number,
not from an opinion that it was not comprised in
the demands of the French Government,
but from a strong apprehension that the
latter has been obliged to forego this point, .at
the urgent solicitations of the Ifoly
As to the recognition of the debts contracted by
the late Cortes, we suppose that It has been left
entirely to the discretion of the Spanish Govern-
ment ;. and this would not he the most unwise
part of the arrangement. The recognition would
not render them a fraction more valuable ; and

the idea of taking them as part of a new Loan
is preposterous, as there is not a respect-
able House in Europe that would lend itself to
to such a measure. The credit of the Spanish
Government is irretrievably sunk ; and the only
consequence of the recognition of the Consti-
tutional Bonds would be to make new dupes,
whilst it placed pecuniary means in the hands of
a Government that would be sure to abuse them.
