LONDON,
AIONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1823.

In our preceding columns we have given co-
pious extracts from the foreign journals received
since our last. The intelligence from Bayonne
more than confirms all the preceding accounts

respecting the feverish and disturbed state of
Spain, and proves that scenes of outrage
and bloodshed have already taken place to a
frightful extent. An article from Port St.
Mary acknowledges that the ships of war at
Cadiz are making ready to depart for South
America. It has been for some time known
that an expedition has been preparing at that

port ; and it is now understood by well informed
persons in London that it will consist, besides the
;l►ips of war, of four or five thousand men, des-
tined to reinforce the Spanish Royalist army in
Peru. If that force is entirely Spanish, and is
Wholly eq►►ipped and maintained at the ex pence of
the Spanish nation, there can be no objection to
Its, proposed employment. If, on the contrary,
any foreign power is really concerned in this
intended attempt to compel the ci-devant Spanish
Colonies to return tinder the dominion of Spain,
the manner in which it will be viewed and
counteracted by the English Government is suffi-
ciently understood.
We will mention in connection with this sub.
ject, that letters have been received from Gib-
raltar of the Ist instant, which state that
a ♦ery strong British squadron is collect-
ing there. The writer asserts that almost every
'lay a frigate or a two-decker arrives to join the
fleet, neither the destination of which, however,
nor the motive for assembling it, is yet known.

We have received a letter from our Cor-
respondent at Paris, dated the 16th instant,
detailing to us his personal observations as to the
manner in which the Parisians treated the order
to make a general illumination in honour of
the Duke of ANcsour,Estes triumphs in Spain.
.15 on the former occasion, for celebrating the
'safe return of the Prince Generalissimo to Paris,
'not one third of the City was lighted up
in honour of his victories, from which our Cor.
respondent very justly infers that even the suc.
"cest of the aggression upon Spain has not recon-
'oiled the Parisians to its flagrant injustice. We
are glad to learn from the present commit.
14cation that no lights nor other mark of
courtesy were exhibited at the house of the
Sritigh Ambassador. The character of England
lhou.e in the darkness and gloom which envelop-
"e(t.the residence of her representative at the
-French capital. Our Correspondent thinks it is
Singular, that the Embassy should have thus
Inarked its dis?pprobation of the illumination,
although it had on the former occasion.presented
'before the gate of the Ambassador's residence
the intitial of the Duke's name surmounted by
a crown in coloured lamps. But that act of
Courtesy could only be considered as persanall,y
complimentary to the Duke of ANGOULEME and
to the Royal Family of France, on the occasion
of his return to Paris. The last illumination, on
the other hand, was in honour of the recent
military and political events which have erected

in Spain an arbitrary throne -supported by
foreign bayonets ; and most sincerely do we re.
joice that the Ambassador of this country has
distinctly marked the sentiments with which
that atrocity has uniformly been viewed by the
British Government and the British nation. We
shall give our Correspondent's letter to.morrow.

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened at
86i, and soon after the Market appeared heavy,
and they were done at 86. There were several
sales in the earlier part of the morning, but to
no grent extent.—The Expresses from Paris
bring the French Rentes at 921. sc.—Spanish,
2.8}.—Exchange, 25. 55. It do not hear of any
particular news from the above Capital. It ap-
pears, by Private Letters from Paris, that
Austria wants a Loan of three millions for her-
self, besides the two millions five hundred thou.
sand for liquidating her Debt to England. As
yet there are no positive accounts of the
result of the negotiations at Paris for a
Spanish Loan. Indeed, some of the Gen-
tlemen who went over on the above trans-
action are expected in town to-morrow or
Wednesday. The letters of Friday state that
the King of FRANCE was again indisposed, which
was the cause of the French Rentes lowering on
that day.
FOKEION MARKET.—There is scarce any thing
doing this morning, except in Spanish and Rus-
sian Bonds; the former opened at 261, with a
heavy market, which it continues up to this hour.

By recent letters from Demerara, it appears
that an attempt has been made to poison part of
the Military stationed in that Settlement, but
which providentially did not succeed!

(From the Glucose, Courier, Dx. 18.)
TRINIDAD.—PLOT DISCOVERED.

Courier Office, half:past one o'clock.

Just as we were preparing to go to press we were favoured
by a commercial house in town with the sight of a letter from
Trinidad, receved by the ship Africa, arrived at Bristol, and
dated Oct. 51, containing the following unpleasant particulars
from that colony :

A plot for revolt by the slaves of the quarter of the island,
named Diego Martin (situate towards the Bocas Channels) had
been discovered on the 29th, to take effect on the Ist Nov.
Some of the ringleaders were apprehended—the militia were
called out. They form a powerful military force, and were
considered adequate to overawe the spirit of rebellion.
It was not then known whether the same spirit extended
to other quarters. The minds of the Negroes, generally, were
greatly agitated, by incendiary reports circulated that their im-
mediate emancipation was determined upon by Great Britain,
and the measure only withheld by their masters.
" \Vith regret, but not surprise, we learn those accounts.
We stated the other day that 20 regiments additional would not
be sufficient. May our fears be vain !"

On Saturday evening arrived at Portsmouth his
Majesty's ship Jupiter, 60, Capt. Gro. A. WESTPHAL, from
Calcutta, whither she took the Right Hon. Lord AMIERST,
Governor-General of India, and suite, who landed at the Pre-
sidency in good health on the 30th of July, after a pleasant pas-
sage of four months and 16 days : the run from the Cape
to Madras was done in the short space of 33 days. The
Jupiter left Lord and Lady Amherst in good health, on
the 19th of August. General Sir Alex. Campbell, command-
ing the forces at Madras, had been dangerously ill, but was de-
clared out of danger previous to the sailing of the Jupiter, on the
26th of July. Commodore Charles Grant, was at Madras, in the
Liffey : the Sophie, 18, Capt. Ryves, had sailed for Trincomalee.
The Company's ship Atlas, Capt. Maine, was to leave Madras
for China, on the 2d of August. The Jupiter left the Mauritius
on the 16th of October. General Sir.Lowry Cole, suite, and
garrison, were all well ; and had been joined by Colonel Guy
Le Strange and family, from England. George Smith, Esq.,
Chief Judge of the island, lied died suddenly. The .Ariadne,
26, Captain Moorsom, left the island on the 2d of Octo-
ber, for Madagascar, on an official visit to King Rands-
ma. The Jupiter arrived at the Cape on the 26th of Octo-
ber, the Hon: Company's ship Thames in company, which
ship was to sail on the 6th of Nov. for England. The Larne, 24,
Capt. Maryatt, and Slaney, 20, Capt. Charles Mitchell, had
arrived at the Cape, and proceeded on to the Indian station.—
Commodore Nourse had left Simon's Bay, in the Andromache,
to visit the eastern parts of his station. The Delight, 18, Capt.
Hay, sailed on the 6th of Oct., With dispatches for the Mauri-
tius. The Espiegle, 18, Captain Chapman, was under orders
to proceed with the Colonial Commissioners of Inquiry, to
Algoa Bay and the Mauritius. Captain Owen had not been
heard of since he left Simon's Bay, on the surveying expedi-
tion along the eastern collet. Lieut.-Col. Frazer, of the Cape
Corps, was dangerously ill, at Graham town. The Jupiter left
St. Helena on the 9th, and Ascension on the 14th of November,
but had no communication with the shore. The Driver, 18,
Captain Bowen, was about to sail for Rio Janeiro, to undergo
repairs. The Jupiter has had a stormy passage home of precisely
four months. She has brought dispatches and letters from the
several places at which she touched. The dispatches were landed
on Saturday evening, in charge of Captain Alexander Ellice,
R.N. (late first Lieutenant of the Jupiter), who immediately
proceeded with them to London. Major Stratford, Military
Secretary at Madras, and Colonel Hutchinson, from the Cape,
are passengers. The crew of the Jupiter were severely attacked
with Mokra murbus, but by the skilful and great attention of
the surgeon, they all happily recovered except tour seamen.

Prince LISOPOLD, the Duchess of K FNT,
Princess FEODORE, the Prince of LtIMENUEN,

tainment in honour of the anniversary of his
