DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, September g 9,

[TIIB TIMES.]
The French Papers and Spanish servile cor-
respondence give way to a savage exultation at
the capture of Riego, and threaten him
with, their fanatical vengeance. We, on the
other hand, religiously trust that the heads of
hostages in the powpr of the. Constitutionalists
niay be destined to answer for that of Riego.
His transaction with flullasteros is again referred
tV, but still•unexplained, nor does the official ac-
Count ascribed to Molitor succeed in making the
story more intelligible.

An article which we published from a Caraccas
newspaper is calculated tofis the attention of our
ciOntryaien Upon' a Subject to which we have al-
ready called it—namely, the possible designs of
tile Bourbons against the infant States of South
America. Tbe'editer of the, Colombiano alludes to
two circumstanceof which the whole people of Eu-
rope are in poSsession :—the pledge of the French
GOvernmentlOassist the Spanish Royalists in the
re.conquest of the old 6:denies of Spain ; and the
pledge of the British Government to "resist the
appropriation of any of these provinCes by his
Most Christian Majesty. That France will strive
to redeem the pledge she has given to' ;the Spa-
nish ROyalists, we .have a better guarantee than'
French honour; for it is the direct interest and
policy of the "Muse of Bourbon
,to attempt a re-
conquest of the 'South American States. . How
far the promise of the English Ministers will be.
realized, is quite another question. They will
shuffle out of it, probably,' by some means or
other; for many are the inbtilities of a contract-
ed and temporizing spirit.—(lbid.)

LMORNING
The Moniteur of. Friday contains a Telegraphic
Dispatch, dated Santi Petri, Sept. 20, at seven in
the evening, announcing that the Fort of Santi
Petri had just been taken. Some idea of the
difficulties the 'French have yet to encounter be-
fore they enter Cadiz, May be formed from the
following account, of- the defences of the Island
of Leon in the War of Independence. There
Were the batteries between the city of Cadiz and
Puntales, the Castle of Puntales, the Fort of
Matagorda (until blown up aria abandoned), the
bilferies towards the Cortadura, that fort, Torre-
gorda, batteries of Arillo and Santivanez, Camera
Point, batteries on the Bay from thence to the
Caraccas, that Arsenal, batteries in its rear, se-
ct* English and Portuguese lines, batteries
covering the Salt Marshes -to Suazo Bridge, the
tete-'iid.t-tiort( of which considered one of the
strongest known, Portazgo, flanking works, and
towards the right batteries rotrimanding the

[MORNING POST.]
Bayonne Papers arrived last night to the 21st
nst. Their contents would be of considerable
mportance if implicit faith could be placed on
:heir correctness. But they have so often given
us mere speculations for facts, that most of their
statements must now be received with caution.
That the- fever-at Passages may have broken out
afresh with greater violence, after having been
apparently subdued, may very likely .be the
case, as the event from its proximity could
hardly escape being accurately known. That the
whole garrison of Bayonne :was sent across the
Pyrenees to assist in bringing the garrison of
Pariipeluna safe to the French territory, is also a
fact- which it -would be ridiculous to doubt, as it
could not be asserted in the :Journals of the.
place unless' it had really occurred. It also
proves the difficulty whiCh the French expe-
rienced to " protect" their. disarmed prisoners
against the brave and generous hostility of the
armed .volunteers of the Faith. But when these
Papers travel us far as Cadiz to tell us what passed
on the 7th and Sth inst. in that city, which has no
commtinica tint', or but a very precarious one, with
the rest of Bpain, we can only say that they state
what is probable, but what requires confirmation
before it can be believed. They inform us that
seditious groups of soldiers, mixed with the
mob, went about the streets, crying that it was
necessary to capitulate, as it was not possible to
make a defence : that Valdez, whose firmness
is equal to his decision, had the soldiers taken
up, when they laid the blame on their officers,
who., had ordered them -to act as they had
done, and had also distributed money amongst
the people ; and that these officers, to the num-
ber of eighteen, one of them a General, and two
others Colonels, were immediately arrested,
tried, and shot. The effect of thii severe mea-
sure is said to have completely changed the
soldiers' minds. They set up; we are 'told, the
cry of " the Constitution or - death," and even
went under-the King's windows and charged
him with being the first cause of the treason.—
The Madrid and Cadiz militia surrounded the
palace to protect it, and fired a few shots, which
had the effect of dispersing the soldiery and re-
storing order. We are also assured that Gen.
Alava had been sent out on the 9th to the
Duke of Angouteme's head-quarters, to declare
that no 'further propositions should be lis-
tened to, and that the Duke had in consequence
ordered the Isle of Leon to he attacked. The
latter part of tw.stateMent is, we know, incor.
rect. : the former may, perhaps, be true, as the
French have just reversed the story, and given
the honour of the refusal to their Prince Gene-
ralissimo, which shows at least that all parties
concurred in conSidering that nothing remained
but an appeal to arms.

these republics will not be a sufficient protection
to our merchants ; an imposing naval force should
immediately be sent into those seas; and the in.

prosecution of any ambitious designs in this

claration of war, and opposed with the whole
strength of England.

[NEW TIMES.]
We have received Sierra Leone Royal Gazettes
to the.26th of July, and Private Letters to the
31st of 'the same month. The measures which
with unwearied perseverance Governor Sir
Charles MacCarthy .takes for the improvement
trade, are daily producing some beneficial
effect. A mission some time since undertaken
under the Governor's auspices, by- Captain
Laing, to the country of the Soulima Soosoos,
has induced a number of men of that enter-
prizing nation to engage in a trade of gold, ivory,
with' the . Colony.- Some petty Chiefs in
the ioterior, bad endeavoured to impede this com-
merce, but it was hoped that their efforts would
remain Without effect. The British Merchants
and Traderi at Bathurst, on the River Gambia,
express their gratitude for the benefits conferred
on them during- his Excellency's stay at that Set-
tlement. The Sierra Leone Editor states that
four French ships of war-had cruised for above
.a
year in those.seaa to prevelit Slave Trading, but
had not taken a single priie : and hence he very
roundly charges the French Ministry with insin-
cerity in regard to the abolition. We should be
sorry to be obliged to join in that charge against
Statesmen of undeniable ability and sound Royal-
ist principles; but the fact above stated in the
Sierra Leone Paper is certainly startling ! A
Portuguese Slave Trader, called the Sinceridade,
taken with slaves on board (but restored !) was
afterwards detained, and the Captain and part of
the crew sent to Lisbon to be tried for murdering
the Supercargo.
