THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY

Extracts from the Morning Papers, Nov. 10.

DRIMU BRE99.]
The Paris papers of Sunday, which arrived
hit night, are nearly as destitute of general in-
terest a's the journals of the French metropolis
have been for some time past. Excepting some
details of the Greek victory over Dervish Pacha,
which we have extracted from the Conslitutionnel,
they contain no foreign intelligence whatever.--
the subjects of domestic importance on which
the lucubrations of the editors have been employ.
ed, are the evacuation of Spain, and the arrest of
M. Cousin, The Journal des lThbats has a hol-
low and sophistical article respecting the former;
the object of the writer is to justify the invasion
of the t French, and throw all the blame of its
failure on, the Ministry. " How different," says.
he 44 would have been the result, if the Ministry
had faithfully followed the generous intentions
of the hero of An'dujar !" This is rank

nonsense, and, we should hope, adulation too
gross for the Dauphin. If that Prince has
any setise of political wisdom or justice, he
must long' ago have repented of the share
be had in delivering over the people of Spain to
the wild fury of Ferdinand VII. That kingdom
is VOW only whit it was predicted the 'Merritt.-
owe of the French would necessarily render
it. gnt, though we thus strongly condemn
the invasion, do we maintain that the French
troops thould be at once and absolutely with-
*awn, leaving the country a prey to every
violent and revengeful feeling ? Certainly not.
. As they •have ;tonally interfered, they ought, be-
fore they evacuate the Peninsula, to institute some
rational system of Government. They have un-
justifiably enough constituted themselves the
guardians of social order, but the obligation of
their ()Mee is not less strict and severe than if
they had lawfully assumed it.—The commentaries
on the arrest of M. Cousin are sound and eloquent.
Our readers have already been made acquainted
with all the facts of the Professor's case, through
our Correspondent. The Papers add nothing
new to the statements in the private letter we
ithablithed yesterday from Paris.—ln the Etoile,
dated Monday, there is a communication from
Smyrna, in which the writer speaks of the war
between the Turks and the Greeks as if nothing
had happened since Midsummer. We are told,
with amusing gravity, that Dervish Pacha, with
i0;000 ['nen, will remain at Zeitouni till the
Egyptian expedition is disembarked in the Morea!
if the Greeks had suffered the Pacha to await
'with patience the arrival of the Yieeroy's forces,
he would have been a very harmless enemy, if he
Lad undertaken no operations until his Egyptian
auxiliaries had been at hand to support him.

had been pleased to appoint, and the King
of Naples to approve the appointment of, three
rmrfuns to act as Provisional Members of the
Chamber of Commerce at Palermo—a situation
or no emolument. Two of these persons, it ap.
en7itti and Rossi, had declined the in.
..tended honour, at first without assigning any de.
tornsinate reason, and afterwards on the score or
pretence of ill-health : whereupon the Governor-
General issues an address, expressing great in.
dignation that any subjects of his Neapolitan
Majesty should reject the Royal favour, and
excuse themselves from the duty of serving the
*ate in any situation to which they may be raised
by his IVlajesty : and not only so, but. actually
waking the self-denying gentlemen, Rossi and
Leuzitti, accept and e►►ercise the functions of the
.office conferred on then►, whether they will or
no. " Some," as Shakspeare says, " have great.
ssess thrust upon them." All that we can say
is, that if his Sicili►rn Majesty be served in the
other offices of State as he is likely to be served
b 7 these aspirants after dignity, he may certainly
'trust to the zeal and fidelity of his servants, in
any case of public emergency. The homely rug.
lisp proverb says, that " one man may lead the.
" horse to the pond, but a hundred cannot make►
him drink :" the Governor-General of Sicily
has made Res' and Leuziti members of the
Chambers of Commerce, but can be make them
do good in that station ?

The city wax agitated yesterday by various
rumours, not one of which, we believe, is entitled
to the smallest degree of credit. To persons
possessing either know ledge or information, they
are sufficiently refuted by naming them; but it
is melancholy to observe how many persons allow
themselves to be influenced by such mere fabri-
cations, and suffer in their fortunes through their
credulity and stiant of understanding. The ru-
mours alluded to were—the immediate assembl-
iag of a congress at Petersburg,' ! (in the midst
of winter) to settle the affairs of Greece ; the
sailing of an expedition from Cadiz against some
part of South America,; and extensive prepara-
tions at Ferrol, making for a similar purpose.
For the first of these rumours there is no founda-
tion of any kind. At Cadiz, we believe, there may
have been collected, with infinite difficulty, two or
three ships of war of the smallest class, which
are to be employed in protecting the commerce
of the Mediterranean against the A lgerines, who
have recently declared war against Spain, and
whom the degraded state of that country has per-
mitted to attack and plunder her traders with
impunity. With respect to Ferrol, the latest
letters from that place merely mention that a
greater degree of activity in
• y prevailsthe arsenal,
and that one or two ships on the stocks, which
had been abandon 4.1 ,nte ordered to be completed.
It would be an unpardonable affront to the, good
sense of our reartertr generally, to take the trouble
of refuting such sOf-ftvideat. fabrications • but it
is our duty, possible ito protect those' who
have property at stake frorrythe consequences of
believing them.—(Mirl.),

The Paris Papers of Sunday are nearly barren
of intelligence. The Journal deg Debges, ad.

verttceg to the approaching evacuation of Spain
by the French Armies, asks, 44 what guarantees
the present state of Spain offers for the mainte-
namr„e of public tranquillity, and for the safety of
the Royal Family of that country ? What Fi-
nancial resources—what military means are left
in the hand of King Ferdinand to consolidate and
defend his authority ? Alas, a gloomy and most
alarming future presents itself to the mind. We
have been parties to a policy at once very weak,
very capricious, and very ill suited to conciliate
men's minds, and pacify a kingdom. Destitutions
and nominations, week after week,lists of proscrip-
tion,in the form of amnesty, regulations of purifica-
tiou,more impracticable even than pi tiless,and lists
of suspected, pqnprising a whole people, and a
Police which, m its inconceivable proclamations,
denounces the lukewarmness and disunion of its
owa agents ; such are the elements of peace which
we leave behind us on quitting Madrid." Such
are vitae of ,l!fi) fruits of the glorious triumphs of
the French. C-thers will immediately follow.
The parties whom the presence of the French
now restrains, arc sharpening their daggers, as it
were, to plunge them in each other's breast the
'first favourable moment. Thus the French will
have- the fame of having, at, an enormous ex.
pence,' excited an insurrection, and overthrown
an established Government, and deluged the
whole country with blood. But then the
King of France has obtained an army ; and
compared with such an object, what is
this waste of life, this extremity of misery,
and the ruin of a large kingdom ? What are
millions when weighed in the balance against a
legitimate King !—lt appears from these Jour-
nals that the arrest of M. Coussin, the tutor of
the Duke of Montebello, at Dresden, by the
Prussian Government, has excited a great sensa-
tion at Paris. We refer our readers to a letter
from our Paris Correspondent, for a key to this
transaction. It appears that the Minister for
Foreign Affairs, as soon as he was informed by
M. Royer Collard of the arrest of M. Coussin,
lost no time in urging warmly his immediate libe-
ration. The insolence of Prussia, in arresting a
French subject in an independent kingdom, has,
it seems, excited a keen indignation in France.

NEW TIMES.]
There was a rumour in circulation yesterday,
that a Spanish expedition sailed for Mexico from
Cadiz on the 13d of last month. The report de-
serves no credit, and can receive none from per-
sons who possess even moderate correct informa-
tion with regard to the state of Spain.

e question whether the French will imme-
diately , evacuate Spain now engages some atten-
tion. rho following article is extracted from
the Journal du Commerce, which, however, is
far from an unquestionable authority on such a
subject :—" The evacuation will commence at
Badajos on the lbth of November. The garri-
son of that place will proceed to Cadiz to join
the troops already there, and will thus form a
body of 10,000 men, who are to remain in Cadiz,
and the command of whom will, it is asserted,
he given to General D'Orsat. Ten thousand
more will be divided between the fortresses of
Corunrin, Santona, Pampeluna, Urge!, and Bar-
celona. The rest will leave Spain. The march is
to be conducted so that the movement may be ter-
minated by the end of the present year. Some
persons, however, still pretend that all these ar-
rangements are made merely with a view to inti-
midation, and that the evacuation will not take
place, because the dread of it will force the Spa-
nish Cabinet to alter its conduct. They add,
that in such case the Army of Occupation, so far
from being diminished, will be reinforced by
troops, who have received orders to approach the
frontier"--(I& d.)

[sin PUBLIC LEDGER')
Advices were received yesterday from Con-
stantinople, dated the 11th ult., which confirm
the account of the total destruction of the
Turkish fleet, with the exception of the Captain
PShip and two frigates, which lied re-
enteredillca's tle Dardanelles, though in a very shat-
tered condition. The rest of the fleet, the most
formidable which the Porte had fitted out in this
war, had either become a prey to the flames, or
fallen into the hands of the Greeks, who, at the
end of a most active campaign, have a much
larger naval force than they had at its commence-
ment, on account of the many valuable prizes
which they have made. Thus they will be enabled
to open the next under better auspices than ever ;
and thePorte,with hopes proportionably depressed.
The last disaster which the Turks had suffered,
as it was also the greatest, took place on the 6th
ult. at Mitylene; and the terror, which it caused
in the Turkish capital, is said to have fully cor-
responded with its magnitude. Accounts re-
ceived yesterday, through two other channels,
agree with the above-mentioned statement,
with this difference, however, that they reduce
from three to two the number of Turkish
vessels, that have succeeded in gaining the
Arches, and one of these In sinking condi-
tion. This intelligence was brought by the
Malta mail of yesterday ; whilst news of a simi-
lar import has been received from Mnrseilles.—
t is moreover stated in the latter, that the num-
ber of prisoners made by the Greeks, was so con-
siderable, that every family in Napoli di Romania
have now a Turkish slave. We almost suspect
that the contest is approaching to its close ; and
that a bloody catastrophe in the Seraglio will be
the signal for offering terms of pacification to the
Greeks, on the principle of recognizing their in-
dependence.

[MoKNING FONT.]
An Express brought us last night Voris Jour-
nals to the Bth inst, and the Eioilo of Monday.
Since the determination to evacuate Spain has
been definitively taken and openly avowed, the
Ministers have
.been assailed with more fury and
with less justice than ever, by all the Opposition
Papers, Royalist as well as Liberal. The Journal
des DZbais admits ,that the measure will relieve
the Frencb‘finances, but questions whether it. will
not compromise the honour of the ♦t French po-
licy." It then demands to know " what guaran-
tee the present state of Spain offers for the main-

tenance of public tranquillity and the personal
safety of the Royal Family : what financial re.
sources, what military means are left in the hands
of Ferdinand to consolidate and defend his autho-
rity ; and whether a most gloomy and alarming
futurity does not present itself to the mind of the
most cool and impartial observer ?" These ques-
tions, with the exception of the last, cannot be
affirmatively answered. Guarantees for public
tranquillity in Spain, financial resources or mili-
tary means there are none ; but on the other
hand portents of deep menace abound. " Weekly
dismissals and appointments," continues the Jour-
nalist, " acts of proscriptions under the shape of
amnesties, regulations for purifications not less
inexcusable than merciless lists of suspicions
individuals, comprising the whole people, and a
Police, which in its inconceivable Proclamations
exposes the indifference and disunion of its own
agents, such are the elements of peace which we
leave behind us on quitting Madrid." There is
I unfortunately much truth, or rather, all is truth,
in this threatening picture of the state of the
Peninsula. But instead of ascribing the exist.
ence of Jo many evils to the present French Mi-
nisters, who, to do them justice, were unwilling to
engage in the war against Spain, it ought to be
attributed solely to that Ultra Faction which
gave them no rest till it had driven them, against
their better judgment, into that most impolitic
and iniquitous contest. The consequences of
wanton aggression are now falling back upon
the heads of the aggressors, and the calamities
and dangers which we announced would be
the results of the Invasion of Spain, and which,
though made a pretence for that measure,
did not exist when It took place, have but
followed as naturally us water flows from its
spring. The Ultras are therefore unjust in
charging the Ministers with the present distracted
state of Spain, and they ought to recollect that
no one spoke louder than they did against that
very Ordinance of Andujar, which is now the
object of their enthusiastic commendations. llad
the cannon of the Bidassoa, which they heard
with so much delight, never been fired,
Spain would still be happy and at rest, and
France would have a friend in her neighbour in-
stead of an injured enemy.'sVhat the boasted inter-
ference of Louis XVIII. has made the Peninsula,
and what benefit France has derived from that
outrage, will best be shown by the statements of
the Ultras themselves, who had hitherto contend-
ed that every unfavourable report on the subject
was invented by the Liberals for the purpose of
misleading the Public. We therefore continue
our extracts from the Journal of the discarded
Minister. "If any provinces; such, for instance,
as Catalonia or Biscay, enjoy greater tranquil-
lity, it is due to the higher degree of civilization
which their inhabitants have attained. But to
what state are reduced some of the interior
and eastern provinces, where bands of volunteers
exercise an authority superior to that of the
laws, which other armed bands might wrench
from them ? Are we ready to re-enter Spain at
[ the first intelligence of it fresh movement ? Or
shall we remain mere spectators of it? It al)-
pears that in order to get out of a difficulty,
we try a new chance without knowing what we
should do if it
,happened to fail. This then
is all the fruit which after such high expec-
tations, our,slcllful strong, and wise Ministry,
has derived from the exploits of the Duke of An-
gouleme and the victories of the French armies.
With the exception of the personal liberty of the
King (Ferdinand) we are not more advanced than
we were at the crossing of the Ebro. What do we
say ? On oue important point we have even retro-
graded ; for we have successively discredited time
influential individuals on whom we had found our
hopes of re-organization ; we have lost the little
ground which we had gained in the affections of
the Clergy and the people, and we leave nothing
behind us save the remembrance of an irreproach-
able discipline."
