GENERAL MORILLO,

[The following Letter of General Moatr.Lo,
in justification of his conduct at Madrid, on the
night of the 20th ult., appears in the Journal
des Debuts of the 7th inst.]

" It is painful for a citizen who fulfils his duties, and for a
Military man, full of honour, who has often faced death in the
field of battle, to appear criminal in the eyes of the public, and
to see his opinion attacked in the most cruel and afflicting
manner. In listening to the clamours of an infuriated popu-
lace., and the thi;..ats of blood and proscription of wh;cli I have
been the object within these three days, it would appear either

that great crimes have stained the memory of General Morillo,
or that the authors of these infamous reports have forgotten the
principles of justice which distinguish the Spanish people.
" In the night of the 20th inst. I received several reports from
an officer stationed at one of the posts of this capital, who
sent me notice, that his guard was surrounded and insulted by
a number of ferocious men, wito• had already thrown stones,
and in many other ways outraged the national aims, which I
am proud of having the honour of commanding at this critical
period.
" He who does not know the deep impression which such
reports make upon a Chief, the importance which a military
man gives to every thing which can hurt or outrage the arms
which his country has intrusted to his charge, and the effer-
vescence which agitates all minds, in these important movements
(and mine in particular, who thought that I perceived the
public safety compromised and in danger), be alone will be
able to cast reproach upon my conduct for the recant transac-
tions, and it is only on that day that he can represent it as
horrible,' &c. &c. I shall net descend to minute details ; it is
sufficient for me to say, amid the grief with which I am afflicted,
that in many facts I have been calumniated. I injured no one,
and I suffered no one to be ill treated. I bore much abuse;
and if I bad been such as wickedness and bad faith have repre-
sented me, horrors of another kind would have signalized that
night, already too calamitous.
" The man who, at the head of the military force of this pro-
vince, has always conducted himself as a citizen—he who, in all
his actions, has breathed only a love for the liberty which we
enjoy—he who, in the exigencies of authority, cannot be reproach-
ed with committing the least violence--he who constantly has
watched night and day over the public tranquillity,—such a
man.. I say, ought not to be pourtrayed under such horrible co-
lours, nor see himself condemned without being heard.-
" Public men, who proceed in the path of duty, have in all
cases a claim upon public consideration and respect; and in
geeing myself placed on a level with those traitors who endea-
vour to overthrow the edifice of their country's freedom, I have
a right to complain and to appeal to an impartial and sensible
public against such injustice.
• " My public life has been stained with no crime ; my heart is
pure and ardent for liberty ; I have conducted myself at the
head of the military command of New Castile with the same
frankness and good faith with which I commanded the brave
men whom I have so often led to battle. I appeal for the evi-
dence of this to the whole nation. I pray, then, the men of
elevated sentiments to enter for a moment into the situation of
one so conscious of his own integrity. I ask the nation if men
who have served it since they first drew breath ought to be
judged with such intemperance regarding an incident so
misrepresented. •
" I shall content myself, therefore, for the present with de-
claring to the public, in the most solemn, manner, that injustice
may afflict, but it will not humiliate General Morillo.

" I assure them at the same time, that I will accept of no

command till this affair has been brought to a trial,—until ;-ny
conduct on the present occasion has been represented under its
true colours. (Signed) " PABLO MORILLO.
Madrid, Aug. 24."

In letters from liamburgh of the 4th instant
it Is stated, that thirty young men of the lower
class left the city on that day for Frankfort,
being engaged to fight in the cause of the Greeks.
They were to receive their enlistment money,
with their further orders, on their arrival at
Frankfort.

LANDING OF HIS MAJESTY.
POST-OFEICES- 'MILFORD, SEPT. 9, 182,1.

I have the pleasure of informing you that his
MAJESTY, our beloved KING, is just arrived in
our harbour. The Royal Yacht, with the stand-
ard flying, is coming to anchor opposite the Nel-
son Hotel, where thousands of spectators are
already assembled to view 5o delightful a sight
as that of our beloved Monarch.

dated 9th intt, One P.bl.

" The Squa.dron,.with the KING on board, all

has just put in here."

The Paris Journals of Saturday, which -arrived
this morning, contain no additional intelligence
of any importance. The passage of couriers
through Berlin is represented to be very frequent.
On the 30th ultimo, an Austrian Cabinet Mes-
senger arrived at that capital, from Vienna, with
dispatches to the Prussian Government. The
same day, Baron d'ALTENsTitN, a Member of
the Privy Council, set out for Dresden, and a
messenger from the Court of Wirtemberg passed
through Berlin, on his way to Pttersburgh.
According to very recent advices, the Cossacks
stationed on the frontiers of Moldavia have re-
ceived orders to hold themselves ready to march
at a moment's notice.

A private letter from Augsburg states, that
though detachments of Janissaries are stationed
at the entrance into the suburb of Para, at Con-
stantinople,to prevent the populace from entering
that quarter, and though guards are placed to
protect the principal Frank merchants, yet, in
spite of all these precautions, the Ottoman Go-
vernment cannot prevent the recurrence of fresh
mu3sacres. A number of Greeks have again fallen
victims to the fury and cruelty of the Turks.
The Pacha of Broussa, who was ordered to
march to the Danube, has not yet set out for
that destination ; and other troops, who were
directed to proceed by forced marches to Mol-
davia and Walachia, still remain in their forme r
positions. It appears that Lord STRANGFORD has
undertaken to transmit the answer of the Porte to
the Russian Ultimatum to the Cabinet of St. Pe-
tersburg, through the British Minister at that
Court. The Porte has dispatched a duplicate
to the Russian Cabinet, accompanied with fresh
complaints against the Baron DE STROCONOFF.
The Emperor of AUSTRIA presented his Hots-
NESS, on the 14th of last month, with a superb
and highly executed collection of impressions of
the most remarkable cameos in the Imperial Ca-
binet of Antiques, wilich is celebrated for con-
taining the greatest rarities of this kind. This
collection is to be deposited in the Library of
the Vatican.

ST. PIERRE, MARTINIQUE, JUNE 26.—The
Colosee, Admiral JURIEN, arrived here from Rio
Janeiro, states that the Prince of BRAZIL entered
.the Hall of the Sitting of the Junta at Rio with
a regiment at his back, and after commanding
the National Representatives to disperse several
times, and they having refused, he ordered the
troops to fire, when 57 were killed and wounded.

PROCLAMATION• -

TO THE EUROPEAN SPANIARDS IN COLUMBI t.

" Spaniards! you are informed by. your Com-
mander in Chief, that we shun peace—that we
have violated the armistice—that we hate you.
Your Commander is wrong ; it is the Royalist
Government who thirsts for war. We, have of-
fered you the, olive-branch through our Deputy
in London, under a federal treaty, and the. Duke
of FRIAS, by order of the Spanish Cabinet, re-
plied—that it is absolutely inadmissible.
" Spaniards! is it not your Government who
demands our submission at the expence of your
blood? Is it not your King who spurns you, by
hurrying you on to an inevitable sacrifice ? The
Government of Colombia, has not infringed the
armistice, except in quartering its troops within
tbe.city when it was impossible to keep them
alive beyond its environs. In this, and in this
only, we_ have overstepped the boundaries of

the treaty, while in many instances we hare
been harassed, w ithout any indemnification for

the offence.

be inflicted on whomsoever attempts to violate
it, and you shall be respected even in the excess
of your thirst of blood ; you came to slaughter
us, and we pardon yon ; you have converted
your afflicted country into a barren waste, and our
most ardent wish is to restore you to your own.
" Liberating Head Quarters, " BOLIVAR."
Barinas, April 28."

The Bermuda Papers of the 7th July state,
that Mr. ESTEN,.the Chief Justice of that Island,
who had been suspended from that important
situation by Governor Lumr.EY, has been rein-
stated by his MAJESTY, and has returned to that
Colony, where he received a congratulatory
Address from the iciitahitants of the town of St.
George.

The judicious view of the case, which the
Opposition Writers have been so insidiously and
malevolently labouring to confound, in order to
mislead the public mind, taken from The Preston
Sentinel (see our first page), is a striking ;roof
of the utility of our Extracts from the PnovlN-
ct AL JOURNALS, the Editors of which are distant
from the vortex of faction, and have leisure to
reflect on the nature and course of events.

The .departure of Baron STROGONOFF may be
considered as the certain signal of hostilities between Russia
and Turkey. Connected with the relations of these two powers,
a singular fact has just occurred, which decisively marks the
wishes, if it does not indicate the policy which will be pursued
by France, in the event of the, war having commenced. Some
Of the impressions of -" The Journal des Debats," received in
London yesterday, contained the following passage at the
conclusion of a letter dated Odessa, August 14:—" We are
assured that, from accounts brought by Baron STROGONOFF,
it appears that the greater part of the Ottoman fleet has been
captured by the Greeks. It is even supposed that the Admiral,
CARA ALI, has shared the same fate."—Other copies, however,
of " The Journal des Debats," and amongst these was the one
received at.our office, presented a BLANK SPACE, instead of the
above paragraph, denoting that the conclusion of the letter HAD
BEEN SUPPRESSED BY THE CENSORSHIP !—lt will be re-
collected, that in this Paper, some time since, (July 26), we
stated, "•It is very natural, or at least it may be very politic,
in the present financial circumstances of France, that every
effort should be made by that Government, THROUGH THE
3IEDII;H OP A RESTRICTED PRESS, tO induce the world to
the actual state of the relationsbetween RuSsia and the
Porte, and the probability of hostilities between them."—We
accompanied the statement of this obvious tuth, with a hint,
intended to caution private individuals in this country from
embarking their property in the French funds, at a time, when
the Government were evidently employing every art to keep
them at an unnatural elevation. The truth and justice:of our
remark, and the propriety of the advice with which it was ac-
companied, are made manifest by the suppression of the para-
graph, respecting, the capture of the Ottoman fleet. Whatever
may be the speculations of -a few great capitalists, we repeat,
that the great body of persons who possess disposable funds,
will find•it to be the best and wisest, as well as the most secure
poliey, to invest their money in British securities. , Their own
interests, as well as those of the people at large, and of hu-
manity, will be most effectually promoted by retaining. AT
HOME that capital, the judicious employment of which, by
stimulating all the great branches of the national- indus-
try, is calculated to carry us forward in the career of pro-
sperity.--It matters not, as far as the conduct of the French
Government is concerned, whether the reported capture of the
Turkish fleet be confirmed or not. That Government em-
ployed the TELEGRAPH to announce the REPORTED destruc-

',ion of Smyrna BY THE TURKS; and it PROIIIIIIITS

the JOURNALS from giving the USUAL PUBLICITY to a
reported advantage over the Turks BY THE GREEKS !—The
SUPPRESSION or THIS INTF.LLIOENCE, true or false, tine,
quivocally betrays their anxiety to keep the FrenCh people in
ignorance of the real state of affairs in the East of Europe ; and
confirms us in our sanguine hope, that era now the brutal Turks
have been forced to retrograde before the avenging arms of
Russia.—Should it be otherwise, and the Greeks are abandoned
to their fate, under the flimsy cover of stipulating for an am-
nesty on their behalf, the baseness and PERFIDY of such
a transaction will be an eternal stain on the character of the
existing Governments of Europe. If the provision of an am.
nesty be rejected by the Greeks (and who does
.not wish that
they should nobly perish to a man, with arms in their hands,

fighting for their independence, rather than return to the ac-
cursed dominion of the Mussulmansy—if the AMNESTY be
REJECTED, their subjection will be their EXTERMINATION,'
by the blood thirsty barbarians who have more than once medi-
tated their general massacre ! —and all that the Greeks will
have gained by the interference of Russia and other Powers,
will be the immense addition to the difficulty of their arduous
struggle, incurred by the great preparations made by the
Porte in the contomplation of a Russian war—preparations
which will be rendered wholly available for the suppression of
the hapless Greeks. If, on the other bend, the Greeks 'should
accept the amnesty stipulated for, it is easy to see that they will
be exterminated, if not by the sword, by the more cruel, though
slower process of a despotism which is traly infernal. The
atrocious Ordinance of OMAR EL RHATIB, which deprives
them of arms, and even of the use of a walking stick, has been
revived and this unhappy people, stripped of every means.of
resistance, would soon fall one great victim to the ferocity of the
barbarians who delight in nothing more than in imbruing their
hands in Christian blood.

ADJOURNED INQUEST ON R. HONEY.—The
Jury assembled at ten o'clock this morning, pur-
suant to adjournment ; some time after, the CO-
RONER and Mr. ADOLPHUS arrived. The latter
Gentleman stated the evidence would occupy at
least seven hours in reading. The proper Officer
proceeded to call over the names of the Jury,
which being done, Mr. GREEN, one of the Ju-
rors; said it was their wish to retire for a quar-

tn. of an hour ; this bein, acceled to, Me,
ADOLPHUS rose and stated that he understood
some conversation 'had taken place relative to
the evidence given to prove that Colonel
CATENDISH had not been out of the Barracks oa ,

~.partic-ttlar,, day, and the Learned Gentleman
observed, this was„aluNkilke ; he had been out
on that'day, 'arktwas ready to "atte,nd,itie Jury,
if they desired, for the purpose of any explana-
tion. The Jury did not think it requisite. They
then retired. After a short interval, the Fore-
man returned, and informed the Coroner_ that
several letters had been received offeringtesti-
mony to further elucidate the business. The
Coroner said, they might call more witnesses if
they pleased. The examination of a person
named Gon.uos was then entered into, and was
proceeding when our Reporter left the Court. .
