The arrivals of most kinds of Corn arc moderate. The
weather czmtinues very fine, and the Wheat-trade remains dull
at hardly so good prices as those of Monday; Barley sells very
heavily ; Beans and Peas are unaltered ; the trade for Oats: is
still in almost a stagnant state, and the prices are still lowe-.

Irish Oats, 450 ; Foreign Oats, 450 qrs.; Flour, 5,300 sacks.

StlDDEtar DEATlN—Yestprday about 3 o'clock
an Inquisition was held at the Flying Ilorse public house,
Wilstn-street, Finsbury, before J. W. U x mix, Esq. upon the
body of Thomas Walton, who resided in horseshoe-alley, aged
66 years. It appeared that the deceased was a watchman in tt e
parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, and had spent a considerable
part of his life in that situation. It further appeared front the
testimony of Charlotte Ball, that he complained of slight in.
disposition last Friday, and on Saturday morning he was dray •
ing a truck along 'Wilson-street, and when opposite the watch-
house he suddenly dropped in the street, and after Wu/T=llrd '
into the watch.house instantly expired. The Coroner read a ,

LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY

Extracts from the ifloiTtizvg Papers) Aug. '25.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
We
,ore informed that the Greek Deputies in
London have received dispatches from their Gos
vernment, placing beyond all doubt the reported
successes of the Greeks since the fall of Ipsara.
The Dutsh and German Papers received yester-
day led us to expect this official confirmation of
these highly gratifying rumours. The Christian
population of Greece is not about to be exter-
Initiated, or reduced to a bondage even worse
than death, in order that the barbarous and fana-
tical Musselman may glut his revenge for their
brave . and glorious resistance of his detestable
yoke. It appears, from the accounts that have
reached us, that this great, and, we trust, final
and decisive naval victory over the Turks, was
gained by the united few of the vessels of
Hydra, Spezzia, and Ipsara. The latter had
joined the combined Greek flotilla in. June, and
therefore were not destroyed, as formerly report-
ed, on the capture of the island. As soon as the
Turkish troops were debarked, the Greek flotilla,
consisting of 25 sail, attacked the fleet of the
Capita!' Paella, and in a short time defeated it
with great loss. Many of the smaller vessels
and three frigates were Aitken, and the remainder
comgelled to save themselves by flight. The
troops who had been landed fell into the aveng-
ing hands of the victorious Greeks, who inflicted
upon them the condign punishment of their crimes,
in the very hour and on the spot where they had
consummated their guilt. The surviving Ipsa-
riotes, the few who had taken shelter in the fast-
stesses of the island, had withdrawn with their
families, and whatever property they could em-
bark, to the Continent, not judging it prudent to
expose themselves to the consequence of another
invasion by the yet formidable power of the Turk-
ish armament. It was intended that the .Ipsuriote
refugees should be seated at Napoli di Romania.
The Siuniotes, it now
,appears, had not submitted
when summoned to surrender by the Capitatt
Pa-
cha., On the contrary, they had rejected his over-
tures with contempt and indignation,and were mak-
ing the must vigorous preparations for their defence.
Previously to the sanguinary transactions at
Ipsara, the Turks had been repulsed at Sciathos,
according to the official dispatch, with a loss of
2,000 men, the whole number lauded being
either killed, drowned, or captured. 'flue Egy p-
thin squadron had also been defeated at Lysani,
in Candia, w ith considerable slaughter. The
prospect of the Greeks, therefore, upon the
whole, are not such as to give any solid reason
for dreading the ascendancy of the Crescent.
The disaster at Ipsara, far from depressing their
ardour and dispiriting their exertions, had only
taught them the necessity of union, and inspired
them with increased energy and enthusiasm. Tito
news from "pram •had-nts sooner spread:- through
the Arehipelago,thineevery decked vessel of what.
ever size, was launched to annoy stud barrio the
enemy on every side. The patriotic devotion of the
Ipsariotes had warmed every breast, and raised
to the highest pitch the loftiest sentiments of fear-
less zeal. I t is imputed to the agents of some of the
confederated Powers of the holy Alliance, we
hope without foundation,that they have furnished
every kind of assistance, however base and dis-
honourable, to the Turkish 'xpedition. They are
charged with having negotiated the treachery of
the Albanian Schy peters, and with having ac-
tus Ily piloted the Mahometans to the very place
of their disembarkation. We learn, too, with
great surprise and measureless disgust, that
among the transports attached to the Capitan
Paella's squadron, were ten Russian and fourteen
A estriau vessels. Surely it can form no part of
the objects of an alliance, professedly based on
the Christian religion, to give such aid as this for
the extermivation of a Christian people, who have
suffered for ages the brutal oppression of an in-
IWO yoke, because they would not desert their
?ere and holy faith.

[NEW TIMES.]
'For some days past there has been a gradual
decline in the prices of Foreign Securities, which
circumstance we are inclined to attribute in part
to the immense amount brought forward, and in
part to the instalments now accumulating to so
large an amount. One of those alarms to which.
the holders of these Securities appear peculiarly
liable prevailed yesterday afternoon, and to a
greater extent than for some time past. There
was no intelligence in the course of the day sufli.
• ciently important to produce any variation, but
the decline appears to have been caused by ope.
rations within the Exchange, where a larger
quantity of this description of property is on hand
-than there is a demand for, and the public begin
to be more cautious in making their invept.
merits than formerly. The variation which took
place yesterday was chiefly confined to South
,American Securities ; those of the Continental.
Powers preserving a tolerable degree of stability.

diseount-of 1O per cent.; and the Bonds were

[Thu Time
Among various schemes for subjugating the se-
parate provinces of what once was the Spanish
Monirchy, is said to be that of dispatching cer-
tain Bourbon Princes on expeditions across the
Atlantic, The missionary stated to he first on
the list for Mexico is the Infante Don Fran.
risco, youngest brother of Ferdinand VII.
We must assume it to follow, by some Hatt].
ral law, that 'Loyal personages gain upon the
hearts of mankind in the direct ratio in which

they are exposed to minute as well as general
observation. There are, it must be admited,
very high Authorities even in England Who seem
to be swayed by tin opposite belief ; but in the
particular case of Princes so gifted, so educated,
and so inclined, as are notoriously those of the
House of Bourbon, if there be not some moral
gravitation like that to which we have alluded,
and under which, in correspondence with the laws
of the material world, the attraction between
Prince and people increases of necessity as the dis-
tance between them becomes less, it is not quite
clear to us by what sort of reasoning a mission like
this of Don Francisco Paulo could recommend it-
self to the councils of the Holy Alliance. NVhat
are the qualities of this Prince ? We have heard
that he is less imperious than Don Carlos, and less
base in every way than another of his relatives ;
but is ho a man of genius ? If so, will he
be suffered to act on his own views of the
real interests of Mexico, and of the spirit ma-
nifested to him by the inhabitants on the spot? If
he be a man of parts without power, or of power
unlimited, without the skill to direct it—much
more, if he be a poor half-taught creature, sent
out to execute the mere letter of instructions
emanating from the Court of Madrid—that Court
from whose preceding councils the whole mis-
chief which it seeks to repair through the agency
of a tool of Royal birth has arisenr—then, most
probably, the itinerant Infante had better spare
himself the mortification of the certain failure
which awaits him. But Don Francisco does
not go alone : he takes with him officers,
priests, and bulls of excommunication—papal
arms, in use from the 9th to the 16th cen-
tury. The military Staff which attends his
Highness is to lead the Mexicans to the field ;
the Staff-Ecclesiastical is to drive them. Much
might depend on the judicious employment of
two such engines, if they were composed of better
stuff: but there already abound in the country,
Mexican Chiefs who will not be superseded by
Spaniards in the command of native troops ; and
Mexican priesthood, who will not easily suffer
the monopoly they HOW enjoy of wealth and in-
fluence to be encroached upon by Spanish Friars.
Thus are new foundations of national jealousy
laid in the very outfit of the reported expedition;
whose object it ought to be to remove, or
narrow the grounds of those heartburnings
which already exist. That Mexico, or any
other American province, will ever again sub-
mit to the sordid caprices and cruel sacri-
fices imposed upon it by a European Government,
to the same extent as Spanish America has
hitherto endured them from the tyranny of Spain,
is to us, we own, a most improbable speculation.
The appearance of one bearing the title of
'' Prince of the Blood Royal," a sounding name
in the ears of many people, many at firstond for a
short time, draw some idlers to the standard of
the Bourbon Ambassador; but the thing is not
likely to continue : he ,can give them nothing
solid or satisfactory which they do not possess
without him and in spite of him. As for the
splendour which surrounds a Royal personage,
that, too, is of brief duration it dazzles, like
that of a glowworm, the inexperienced eye ; but,
like the glow-worm, how menu, on examination)
is the insect which it often accompanies !

[MORNING HERALD.]
It is not improbable but that one of Ferdi-
nand's brothers will proceed to South America ;
but we should think that Mexico, being in the
possession of, the Patriots, would be one of the
Wit places to which he would venture. Peru is
much more likely, being, it is understood,
again in the possession of the Royalists. But if
the Spanish Government are able to procure me.
ney, ships, and arms in England, is it not more
likely that Don Francisco would proceed with
the Spanish fleet and army es Generalissimo—or'
as Ferdinand's Viceroy, armed with powers to in-
quire into and redress grievances generally ?
This would be giving the expedition an imposing
appearance. 'IN would probably be also furnished
with powers to arrange terms with the several revo.
ludo:wry leaders in South America, or to purchase
them, as the Spanish Patriots were purchased,
and to grant a general or partial amnesty as he
might see occasion. It is more than probable,
if, under such circumstances, he were to sail from
Cadiz with a powerful fleet and army, that he
would restore the Colonies to the Mother
Country, at least for some time ; for the in.
surgents, as the people of Spain call them,
do not appear, at any one place, to have much
military or naval force to oppose what may be
called an imposing legitimate power.—Besides,
it is more than probable that a Royal Spanish
force would command the help of the priesthood.
England was not so circumstanced in the latter
respect when she made efforts to keep her
North American Colonies. She had no priest.l
hood at her command, and her colonists were far
from being religious enthusiasm as we suspect
a great proportion of the South Americans are.--
A !together, the circumstances are different, and
we must fear for the result, should the Spa-
niards succeed in raising the means, and should
the expedition be commanded by any thing like
the same description of skill that Morillo exhi-
bited some years since, when, with a very small
and badly appointed force, he contrived to pre-
serve for so long a time such large tracts of coun-
try to his master. As to the (ideation of Loans,
if the Spanish Government succeed in raising one
it would of course put an end to the raising of
any more in England for the Patriots : and if
they could not get •n but with English money,
then there would soon be an end of the affair.

[MORNING POST.)
Two of the murderers of the Sheas, out of a
great number of accomplices, have been at letlgth
detected, and convicted of one of the most barba-
rous atrocities recorded in the annals even of
Irish crime. Tice murder, we may recal to ge-
neral recollection, was perpetrated in the south of
Ireland about two years back, by burning to
death an unfortunate family of the above name,
with their whole household, &e. in their own
dwelling ? If we remember well, the victims on
that occasion amounted to ten or eleven
and it was surmised at the time that the.
Sheas had subjected themselves to the dreadful

♦ettgeance they suffered by some or those farm-
ing speculations so awfully denounced by Capt.
Rock 'aud his adherents. It now appears, how-
ever, from the evidence of the witnesses on the
trial of the two men just found guilty of the mur-
der—(and the Judge who presided declared his
opinion to the same effect)—that the only ob-
ject of the band who attacked Shea's house,
was to obtain fire arms— and that the horrible
catastrophe which followed, accidentally arose
out of the obstinate refusal of the inmates
to comply with the demand of the White-
boys. So much being admitted on all hands,
we would willingly, for the credit of hu-
manity, indulge in an inference still less san-
guinary, and conclude that, perhaps, in setting
fire to Shea's house, it was only meant to extort
by that species of torture the arms which he so
resolutely withheld, without depriving him or
any of his family of their lives. The resistance
too which may have been made would most
likely, if known, explain the motives for the
atrocities ultimately committted by the miscre-
ants, who so wantonly assailed an apparently
harmless family in their dwelling at the dead of
of night, and as the intention at the outset was
not murderous, in this way such a diabolical
result might be accounted for. In mentioning
these circumstances we wish not in the remotest
degree to extenuate or palliate the barbarity in
question. Upon that we trust there is not a
second opinion in the United Kingdom ; but
we would, from the foregoing facts, fain impress
this conclusion—that thvemoval of the oppres-
sive or vexatious grievances which the peasantry
of Ireland have so long endured, would, by re-
moving the occasions for inflaming their furious
passions, in a short time eradicate those sangui-
nary propensities so ofte❑ and so frightfully il-
lustrated in the conduct of the lower Irish to-
wards each other, as well as towards their supe-
riors and towards strangers. It will likewise
have been observed how in the iostance under
immediate considuratiou, one murder is 'made
to generate one or more additional murders,
in Ireland. The dread of slipilar fate to
that which befel the Shear alone prevented
the criminals from being brought to justice
almost the moment after they perpetrated
the act ; and unquestionably if thii,witnesses on.
the recent trial had done their duty earlier, or
less circumspectly, the murder of some of their
dearest relations (supposing- themselves rate)
would either have avenged the discovery, or pre-
vented its extention to, the whole of the gang.—
The true reined.); for all these evils is the eradi-
cation of private and' pnblic abuges in the sister
country, and the amelioration of the condition of
, the poor—as. well as of their habits and prin-
ciples. The
.system at present pursued by his
Majesty's Government in Ireland cannot fail to
produce this reform, and- when it is 'effectea we
shall not hear of such savv,e crimes as those
which have so repeatedly disgraced, and for so
loug a period, the Irish annuls and character.

[MORNING CIIRONTCLAq
From the contents of the French Papers it is
very clear that a considerable fermentation pre-
vails in Spain, where the dissatisfaction may. yet
assume a formidable appearance!. The French
certainly have little to expect from the irritated
Spaniards, if they once again get arms into their
hands. The natural abtipathy of the latter to
foreigners begins to display itself, in every part
of the Peninsula, even among those whom the
French not long ago called their auxiliaries. The
national prejudices are now revived even among
the Serviles, who imagine that it is the iu-

tendon of the k retie!' to retain permanent pos-
session of their Catholic country. The Liberal
party detest them, _because they consider that
Bourbon intrigues have stripped them of their li-
berties, and lnought degradation upon the nation.
They attribute the tyrannical acts of Ferdinand
to the French, because whatever they opposed he
has not ventured to carry into effect, and they
particularly quote what has happened with regard
to the re-establishment of the Inquisition. It is

a well-known fact that it was the intention of the
Clerical party, which has always guided the
councils of the King, to re-establish the Inquisi-
tion, as the best possible means of eradicating
free principles; and establishing a strong des-
potism. In the King's Council, every thing
had been agreed upon, and the Monks and
Curates were clamourous because their fa.
vourite measure was not carried into exe.
cation. The fact is, the French were
afraid of the Indignation of Europe, should
the re.estahlishment of the Inquisition in Spain
have been one of the consequences of their inva.
sion.—They therefore informed the King, in the
most peremptory manner, that they would riot
consent to its re-establishment, and the project
was laid aside. On every other act of injustice
and oppression they have looked with indiffer-
ence, us if they did- not care in which way
Ferdinand satiated his vindictive rage. Many
of the prisoners of war who, a few months
ago, returned from France, guaranteed by
their capitulations, when they reached their
homes, were arrested by order of the King,
yet, although French honour was implicated in
this breach of faith, the most profound silence
was observed. It, in fact, seems to have been
the object Of the French to insult and humiliate
the Spaniards by every
means in their power, and
this, at length, has produced the general cry of
revenge. It is 'not now a question of either,
Constitution or C:rrtes ;, it is a national feeling
of hostility against foreign aggressors, and this
feeling has created in Spain a greater unity
of sentiment than has hitherto existed since
the war against Buonaparte. This is the real
feeling displayed in Saragen, notwithstand.
ing the studious mariner in which the French
seek to disguise their details. The affair of Tarifa
also is by no means such as the Paris Papers
represent it. In the town and bay of Gibraltar,
it is well known, that numbers of Spaniards had
assembled, flying from dungeons and persecu-
tion. Those who were deprived of means,
dragged out a miserable existence there, many
living on board of vessels in the harbour, exposed
to all kinds of privations. The smugglers from
the mountains of Ronda and neighbouring dis.
tricts, who flock to Gibraltar in formidable

partiei, and carry off immense quantities of goods,
which they laud in open day, and in defiance
of the detachments of troops set to guard the
coast, sympathised with their suffering country-
men,
,and have often shared their purses with
them. Towards the beginning of the month, a
general order was issued by the Governor of
Gibraltar to expel the Spaniards, with very few
exceptions, and having no alternative, the most
bold and daring of the Constitutionalists actually
joined the smugglers, in order to effect a recon-
noissance on the neighbouring coast, where they
knew they bad many friends, and at the same time
co-operate in the landing of a large parcel of goods.
What they had to expect, if they were caught by
either O'Donnel or the French, they perfectly
kne w ; but there was a large party hastening to
join them. A letter from Gibraltar, dated 2d
instant, mentions that they were then looking
with their spy-glasses at the Itondu mountaineers
descending to join them and support the ope-
ration, which leads us to believe that it is
not a small detachment from either Cadiz
or Algesiras that will venture to come to
blows with them. In all probability, they
would only retain Tarifa till their goods were
landed, and then move on towards the mountains,
and trust to chance. The smugglers are all
Liberals to a man, and from their numbers, and
hardy mode of living, they are very formidable.
If pursued, they fly to the rugged and almost in-
accessible induntains of Ronda, where they have
abundant supplies of provisions. In the lower
parts of Andalusia the Condado de Niebla, and
some parts of Granada, a strong feeling prevails
against Ferdinand anti the French, and there
also many Constitutionalists have found an asylum
in defiance of the persecuting spirit exer-
cised around them. There are some towns
Ihich have refused to admit Royalists among
them, and the Audiencia of Seville has not dared
to punish 'them. The party which landed at
Tarifa is headed by one of the bravest and most
determined men in Spain, Colonel Valdez.--
1 f and his comrades can penetrate into
the interior, and hold their ground for a
little while, they will lead the French a
pretty dance ; at all events it is a cu-
lions circumstance to see constitutionalists and
smugglers unite in a political scheme, and some
interest must 'be felt respecting the result of so
singular an union. The French anticipate an
attack upon Estapona, and with some reason.—
This is the most servile town on the whole.of the
Mediterranean coast, and the Ronda mountaineers
have long wished to punish its inhabitants. They
have, indeed, ou one occasion, assembled for this
very purpose.
