The Decree of the Kiug of Spain, prohibiting the
importation of cottons into that country, and subject-
ing to particular restrictions the stock of that comtno-
dity in the hands of the dealers and merchants, gave
occasion to the following application :

" Cadiz' September 13, 1814.
TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR H. WELLESLEY, K. B.

' -
MB MA,IISTY'S AMBASSADOR IX7RAORDINART, AND MINISTRR

PLENIPOTENTIARY AT MADRID.
" The British Merchants composing the factory of Cadiz,
who, in the month of July last had the honour of presenting to
your Excellency a memorial, praying your Excellency's influence
in support of the representation made by the Spanish Merchants,
relative to the renewal of the permission for the exportation of
British manufactured Cotton goods to the Spanish Colonies, again
beg leave to call your Excellency's attention to this subject, upon
the result of which depends the greater part of their property.
" Animated by the expression communicated to us by our
respected Consul, that your Excellency deeply felt the import-
ance of this measure, we patiently vatted the result of your
Excellency's influence, notwithstanding so long a period had
elapsed without any answer vouchsafed from the Spanish
Mi-
nister.

" Our surprise and alarm at the present moment will not ap-
pear to your Excellency extraordinary, upon perusing the copy
of a Decree which has been presented to us as proceeding from
authority, and which we take the liberty of subjoining.
" It is almost unnecessary to state to your Excellency, that
this unlooked-for blow must be ly felt in England, as it
excludes this branch of manufactures (cotton) from Spin and the
Colonies; but it remains fur us to make known to your Excel-
lency how much more it affects those whom the faith of treaties
has induced to hazard their properties in this country.
" A Decree so conclusive in its effects naturally prevents the
Spanish merchant from employing his funds in articles which, at
a stated period, must be given up to the monopoly authorized by
the Spanish Government, upon any terms the agents of the latter
choose to dictate.

" We have actually paid to the Spanish Government, as stated
to your Excellency in our former application, the enormous
duties on the goods so hand, persuaded that no restriction
would, under any circumstances, attach to the goods thus legally
admitted.

" The favourable footing upon which the manufactures of
France have been placed by a recent Treaty between the two
Gootniint lit 9, gave us greater reason to be firm in this opinion.
" It our cotton manufactures are not allowed to be exported
to South America, and we are prevented from disposing of them
In the Peninsula, it is obvious that the permission to send them
out of the country is nugatory, loaded a. they are with duties and
other charges.
" Sir, In this unforeseen state of circumstances we rely upon
your exertion and influence to procure for us a further extension
of the ileritad allotted for the disposal of our goods, and a renewal
of the pet mission to export to the Colonies by the Spanish mer-
chants during the limited term expressed in the Decree.
" We further beg to call your Excellency's attention to the
hostility of the prevent Decree, as it affects the British manufac-
turing interest, confiding, that in any arrangements between the
two countries, your Excellency will give to this branch of our
national prosperity the consideration so hoportant an object do-
, stands. We hare the huuqur to be, OW

LETTER IV. P
The remark I formerly made
regarding
1----
the lsenar-
rowness of the French streets will apply to those of

Paris, with the exception of the only fine street built

by Bonaparte, now called Rue-de-la,Paix. It may be
said in general that the streets of Paris are not wider
than the Strand, and not always so wide, and that
they are much siirtier.

At the sides of even some of the best streets may
be seen heaps of oyster and walnut shells, rotten cab-
bage leaves, and other rubbish, swept up against the

houses, between which dunghills, and the quick-re-
volving wheels of innumerable passing carriages, ra-
pidly driven by unskilful drivers, the foot passenger has
little chanceof escaping, and must keep a good look
out. But if the streets of Paris be dirtier, they are
better lighted than those of London, because the
lamps are larger ; their oil is better and burns
brighter; and the light is suspended, to give the best
effulgence, viz.—Over the middle of the street, as is
usual in other countries, except England. I know
not a city on the Continent that has so many lamps,
and yet is se badly lighted, as London.
There is a certain run of sights, if I may be allowed
the' expression, which every Englishman has to go
through in Paris and its neighbourhood, and these
have been so often described, that little is left for me
but scanty gleanings, and an opportunity for the rec•
tification of misstatements, or the reconcilement of
jarring descriptions of matters connected with the
French people, too often proceed from national va-
nity, prejudice, or a very circumscribed knowledge of
foreign customs and manners.
As I do not intend to prescribe any order in my
description of the curiosities of Paris, I shall begin
with the Palace and Gardens of the Thuilleries. Most
people know that the palace was so named because it
stands on the scite of an old tile manufactory, a
drawing whereof is still preserved, and may be seen
at the Royal Library at Vet sailles. It is singular
that the Athenians had a fine public garden, which,
in their language, had the same descriptive name,
derived from the like origin.
It is impossible to describe this magnificent build-
ing, so as to convey a corrtct idea of its grandeur.
Its extreme length is 1071 feet, and its breadth 108,
French measure, which is a little more than ours.—
It was begun in the year 1574, by Catherine de
Medicis, the Queen mother, infamous from the ac-
tive part she took in the dreadful massacre of the
protestant:, which took place a tew years before. In
1600, Henry the IV. completed the gallery which
connects this palace with the Louvre ; an 4 the re-
mainder was added, and the whole completed, by
Louis XIV. in 164. There is something in the ap-
pearance of the very high ru.f of this building which,
in my idea, takes off from the beauty of the whole.
' The centre pavilion, which is the highest, is deco-
rated with marble cohimns, after the lonic and Co-
rixthian orders. '1 lie interior of the palace is one of
the finest sights I ever behead. Here I must remark
that an Englishman of decent dress and manners,
will find easy access to the palace, at a suitable time ;
for the French (I care not what some persons say)
are naturally courteous to strangers, particularly to
the English. The places usually seen by visitors are
the Salle der Mai icaaax, hung with the portraits of
Bonaparte': favourite Generals, having a gallery at
top with figures in armour; the Salk du Consul; Salle
de Spectacle, and the Chapelle Royale. In the midst
of the finest ornaments and decorations ; wherever,

in short, you turn your eyes, the initial of Napoleon,
or some device of the late Emperor is sure to present
itself on the walls or furniture of the rooms.
One of the first things observed about the Thuilleries
is the fine iron gate and grand triumphal arch, after a
Roman model, which parts the great Court from the
Place du Carrourel, and on the top of whick are placed
the tour celebrated Corinthian bronze horses, brought
away born Venice. These horses are yoked to an
empty car, and led by figures representing Victory
and Peace, richly gilded over. It was intended to
place a figure of Bonaparte in the car.
The high iron rails, which enclose the Palace and
extensive gardens of the Thuilleries, are gilded at the
top, which gives the whole a rich appearance, diffe-
rent from any thing-of the kind I ever saw about our
palaces at home. There is not much to be said about
the gardens themselves, except it be the smoothness
and fineness of the walks ; the great number, beauty
and disposition of the statues in them ; and the large
orange and other trees, distributed in ranges about
the gardens to an incredible amount. They grow in
stout wooden boxes, perhaps measur;ng about four
feet each way, and diffuse a verdure, richness, and
fragrance, which are very pleasing. These trees are
kept under cover during the winter. From the Pa-
lace, which is at the east end of the gardens, there is
a fine view of the Place de la Concorde, and the Champ:
Elyrees, through a long avenue of trees, as far as the
Barriers de A'euilly. On occasions of public illumi-
nations, these gardens are brilliantly lighted up in
the following manner :—a triangular frame of wood
is permanently erected upon a stand, the apex being
upwards, to the height of 12 feet or more. A large
kind of coarse earthen saucer, filled with rape-oil,
with a very large wick, forms the lamp. These
lamps, or large lights, are placed on the frames in
horizontal rows, one above the other, in the form of
a pyramid : and although the contrivance is clumsy,
as well as simple, when every thing is arranged the
lamps cast a fine lustre, and look very well at a dis-
tance. These pyramidal brilliancies, regularly and
numerously disposed at the sides of the walks,
amongst the trees, and close by tie handsome statues,
produce as much effect as can be looked for. In the
art of illumination, the French do not certainly sur-
pass the English.
PALAts ROYAL.—This was built by Cardinal Rich-
lieu, and is in the form of a parallelogram ; laid out
in grass-plats, walks, and rows of chesnut-trees in
the centre. The front of the edifice is composed of
covered galleries, and piazzas underneath ' . but they
are very narrow, and below are generally very
crowded with people, especially in rainy weather,
which is a great original defect. The Palais Royal

is quite a microcosm of itself; sthert4n, at the F?ench
hemselves conks, any thing can hi: had to
.pamper
luxury, and to 7.44 the tr-a:ce.., appetite ; where
profligacy, avarice, and obscenity reign triumphant.
after having banished all honeur anal virtue from its
precincts. 'Ulm slips are certainly very handsome,
and well stocked; but as the proprietors pay, I am
told, an exorbitant rent, the articica ho:d are not al.
ways the cheapest that can be had. The prostimtes
who frequent these haunts of vice and debauchery,
are remarkably well dressed in pneral.
As I was walking along the narrow piazza one
morning, my "progiess was intent): t...d by two or
three men, who stocd, linked in each otters arms,
in such a manner that I could not pass on. A gen-
tleman, who accompanied me, remarked that he sus-
pected, from their dress and behaviour, they were
not Frenchmen : he had scarcely finished his obser-
vation, when we heard these gentlemen talking very
loud in the Bind-street accent. This peculiarity of
manner, added to an ostentatious profusion in ex-
I pence, though it does not detract from the known
honesty of the English character, nevertheless serve
to teach a Frenchman that an Englistiman, besides
his other virtues, must be very rich, and very unman.
nerly ; indeed I was truly sorry to tiad that this is a
general impression in France.
Nor is it to bi wondered at, when we only contrast
the comparatively starched add re.erved bchavitur of
the English, with the easy and frank manner of the
French, who certainly take more care to study the
art of politeness, which is so very indispensable to
societr. And can we blame them I.:r thinking us
very wealthy, when they see an Engl.shmin, us, ugh
a silly vanity, for eveiy trifling, article he v. i.!ies to
pay for, pull from his pocket his hand, or lntr e,
tilled with dazzling gold ? the sum, perhaps, of all
he is worth !

The last time I passed through the Ftl.tis 12.1 y al,
in company with a lady, a printed paper was put into
my hand by stn old woman, which began thus :
" Une nouvelle methode de guerir malls veneriennes
sans mercure." Let not, however, the English con-
demn the French for diwlltiten.'ss (,t mAnners, Or
London is little, if at all, behind l'Aris in all species
of wickedness, especially in libertinism.

Extract of a letter from Rome, dated August 50 :
A few days ago 1 was present in the Chords of
Louis, when the POPE celebrated Mass at tie Altar,
dedicated under the name of that Saint, at the invita-
tion of the Ambassador Extraordinary frcm his Must
Christian Majesty, Mons. Commas DC Paastomx,
Bishop of St. Malo ; which Mass was followed by a
High Mass, at which all the Cardinals, Sove.eigns,
and Foreign Ministers, &c. assisted. The object of the
embassy, which consists of the Bishop of.Ottortinsia,
Mons. L'Ausa SAMBURRY, &c. in aid of the Bishop
of ST. MALo, is understood to be, to restore the
Church of France to its ancient state ; and, ti.ubtless,
chat object is most desirable, provided there be no im-
peachment of the n, cessary act o 1 its regeneration by
the Sovereign PONTIFF, 41 1801. The circun.stances
above narrated are cicsisi,:red as favourable omens
of the approaching success of the Legation. On the
evening of St. Louis's d.i y the Amb saJor, who really
does honour to his Matter, gave a splendid entertain.

The person that keeps the machines hastened on his
horse to her assistance ; but the lady caught such a
strong hold of him, that he was completely overba-
lanced, and, with his feet at the time entangled in the
stirrups, fell into the watery element, while the horse
kept afloat above him. His agitated wife, who was
standing on the beach, rushed to his assistance, when
she was overwhelmed by the depth and force of the
billows. While, in all probability, to the sufferers, as
well as spectators, there appeared nothing but ap-
proaching death, two fishermen rowed in with a boat
in time to rescue the parties from a watery gr.tve.

ON THE DEATH OF SIR PETER PARKER.

BY LORD BYRON.
There is a tear for all that die,
A mourner o'er the humblest grave;
But nations swell the funeral cry,
And Triumph weeps above the brave !
For them in Sorrow's purest sigh
O'er Ocean's heaving hosem sent ;
In vain their bones unburied lie—
All Earth becoe.Ntes their monument!

A tomb is theirs on every page—
An epitaph on every tongue ;.
The present hours, the future age,
For them bewail—to them belong.
For them the voice of festal Mirth
Grows bushed--their name the only sound ;
While deep Rememb'ranee pours to Werth
l'he goblet's mbuury
A theme to crowds that knew them not—
Lamented by admiring foes,—
Who would not share their glorious lot ?
Who would not die the death they chose ?
And, gallant PsamEk ! thus enshrin'd
Thy life, thy fall, thy fame, shall be;
And early Valour glowing find
A model in thy memory !
But there are breaMs that Viesd with tilt*,
►n woe that glory cannot quell,
And shuddering hear of victory,
Where one so dear, so dauntless, fell.
Where shall they turn to mourn thee less ?
When cease to hear thy cherish'd name 1
Time cannot tenth forgetfulness,
While Grief's full heart is fed by Fame.

Alas! for them—though not for thee—
They cannot choose but weep the more;
Deep for the dead the grief must be,
Who ne'er gave cause to mourn before!

POLICE.

QUkEN.S.DAßE.—Yesterday C. Pianea, of Exeter-
'Change, Strand, was summoned on an information
laid against him for selling to Lavender, the officer,
on the 6th inst. six fire-balls, called fulminating peas,
'which being thrown on the ground with full force,
or pressed with the foot, explode, making a great
.noise. The information was under the Act of Wil-
liam, which makes it £5 penalty 44 to sell or utter, or
viler to expose to sale serpents, rockets, or other fire-
works." Mr. FIELDING premised that the Act in
'question was to prevent the recurrence of the mis.
chief which had resulted from fire-works, it asserting
in the commencement that people had lost their lives,
eyes, &c. by serpents, rockets, and other fire-works."
-As far as the mischievous quality went, thew fulmi-
nating peas came completely within the meaning of
the Act ; but it was a question deserving, and would
receive a good deal of consideration from himself and
his brother Magistrate (Mr. Colquhoun whether
-these bills could be called fire-works ? Mr. Banks,
.optician, Strand, then appeared mains: atria, and
-stated, that although unacquainted with Mr. Pianca,
be felt interested in the welfare of an ingenious fo-
reigner, who was at present out of the kingdom, and
consequently unable to defend himself. He (Mr.
Banks) could assure the Magistrates that these balls
or peas could not be called fire-works, and to demon-
strate that fact the opinions of three Counsel had been
taken, all of whom stated that the articles did not
come within the meaning of the Act of William.—
Them was nothing like fire in them, for their explo-
sion would not ignite gunpowder. He would prove
this, but by rather a terrible experiment. [Here one
of the peas was thrown violently against the ground,
which exploded with a flash.] The Magistrates in-
terrupted the progress of the experiments, with obser-
-Ting, that the flame which they-had seen sufficiently
satisfied their minds. They required no terrible ex-
periments. Mr. Banks said that there were various
sorts of fire or lame, galvanic,electric, &c. and ac-
cording to the present doctrine, the sun itself, which
looked like flame, and imparted warmth, was not
fire. Mr. FIELDING observed, that it must have beenn
remarked, that the Act did not restrict itself to articles
-made of gunpowder, for it never mentioned gun-
powder—it spoke of fire-works. It contemplated the
gams gastralissiraties of fire ; every species of fire that
it was in the chemist's power to produce. If these
--peas would produce fire, then came they within the
meaning of the Act. Johnson defined fire to be “ the.;
ignious element ;" and in the present instance the ig-
nious element had been elicited ; there had been pro-4
duced an ignited spark. The proof of that fact Intl
enough for the Magistrates. Mr. Commotion asked:
to what use these balls could be turned ? Mr. Banks
replied, that they were of no use except to annoy
people. But to demonstrate beyond all question the
fact that they did not produce any ignited spark, as
the Magistrates imagined, he wished to be permitted
to try the experiment which he was before going to
-make, namely, to explode one of the peas surrounded
- with gunpowder, which he said would not ignite the
',powder. The experiment had been successfully tried
over and over again at the Royal Institution, by, and
in the presence of, Sir H. Davey. [Mr. Banks then
pulled out of his pocket a large eannister of gun-
powder, for the purpose of exploding a pea in the.
centre of it, to shew that it would not ignite powder
bat the Magistrates would not allow anasperinsent
that might be of such fatal consequences. Mr. Banks
tried it, however, on a smaller scale,,by foldingabout
half an ounce of powder in a paper, inelosing .at the
same time a pea, and then pressedthe paper with the
foot, when the ball exploded, at the same time ig-
-letting the gunpowder, and binning the paper !] hfr.
Banks, confounded with the conviction 'of his own
senses, stated, that after having thus refuted himself
-he must give up the defence of the baUs ; but he
*soared the Magistrates, so convinced had he felt of.
the practical truth of what he asserted,. that he would
have willingly exploded one of the balls in a barrel of
gunpowder. The Magistrates thinking that further
proof could not be desired, pronounced the convic-
tion. Penalty £5. Mr. Piances daughter, and the
-keeper of the depot attended on Mr. iPirinca's behalf.
liATTON-GAREISN.--Blis4ireh Carter was brought
up in the custody of Jahn Burnley, the constable,
charged on suspicion of having stolen two great casts.
It appeared that the prim:raw steeled the two greet
coats, which were worth about tenor al% forouleat

an old clothes she, in Iraellidline' , and fret. the ape.
pearance of the coats it was supposed the prisoner!
could not have comi.honestly by then# One was a
drab chaise coat, d*ough lined. with many capes,
and the other a blue suttout great coat, lined with
silk, and small straps to button across the breast, they
are supposed to have been stolen out of some gentle-
man's chaise. The prisoner was remanded for ano-.
ther examination on Thursday next.
Ana Bell was examined on a charge of picking
pockets in the Coen of Requests, in Fulvmaad's-scents.
One charge wasfor stealing a pair of silver spectacles
out of the pocket of a Mr. Clarke, and a pocket-book
from Thomas Pally, Esq. of Tiehfield-street. She
was remanded for another examination.
Uneonal ALL.--Yesterday Gawp Smith, alias Verge,
was charge with breaking into the house of Mrs.
Clark, at Streatham, and stealing several blankets
and other articles of bed-furniture. The prisoner was.
stopped at an early hour in the morning, by a watch-
man on Ham-green, Peckham, with the property in,
question. Suspecting that he had stolen it, be ques-,
tioued him, and not receiving a satisfactory an-
swer, brought him to the Office. Glennon, the offi-
cer, then proceeded to enquire after the owner, and
discovered that Mrs. aeries house had been robbed.
Mrs. Clark was examined and stated, that the door
of her house was broken in the night of Friday, and
the things stolen. The prisoner was fully committed
for trial.
A man named Thomas was detected in a singular
kind of robbery, which it appeared he had carried on
to some extent, in the neighbourhood of Stockwell
and Clapham. The watchman near the premises of
Mr. Grove, near the latter place, hearing a aawiag
kind of noise in the Court-yard, went to the spot, and
saw Thomas cutting off the beU-wire. He of course
apprehended him, and found in his possession nearly
dusty wires which he had cut off the houses roand
Clapham and the neighbourhood. He was committed
for the present to give the owners an opportunity of
attending.
CHARGE OF SETTING FIRE TO A House IN SAVILLE
PASSAGE.—The immediate inhabitants of Saville-row
were alarmed, on Thursday evening last, by-the smell
elf fire and it was at length ascertained that it had
kindled in the shop of Abraham Jacobs, a sop-seller.
On investigation it appeared, that M'Carthy. the fore-
man of Jacobs, had left the shop at about ten minutes
before eight o'clock in the evening, and about ten mi-
nutes after, some gentlemen in the neighbourhood
were alarmed by the smellof fire. M,Carthy's decla-
ration was, that he had left the shop,at from ten mi-
nutes to a quarter before eight, with a rush-light safely
deposited on a tea-board on the counter, where it
could do no harm. This rush-light, after the bieak-
lug open of the door, was found erect in the candle-
stick, under a desk beside the counter, to which place
it must have been removed by careful hands, with the
greater part of the tallow melted off. This candle
could not have caused the fire, because there were no
symptoms of burning on that spot, but on the fire-
man opening the door, he found the conflagration at
the left corner of the shop, more than nine feet from
the candle, and no part of the intervening space had
suffered by it. It turned out, upon satisfactory evi-
dence, that Mr. Jacobs was in the city at the time of
the fire, and that he was fetched from thence by the,
errand boy of his brother, who resides in Saville-pas-
sage, and who was also in the city at the time. After
a most patient investigation of every circumstance at
the Marlborough-street Police Office, the Magistrate
felt himself bound to remand both the prisoners for
another examination, but with consent of Mr. Beeth-
am, who attended as solicitor for the Eagle Company,
Jacobs was admitted to bail, himself in seloo, and;
two sureties in £2OO each. M'Carthy was held to
bail, himself in £4O, and two sureties in ,6"20 each.—
The case has rxcited much public interest, and the
Office was crowded in every avenue.

INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT. CHARGE OF FRAU-
DULENT CON VIIYANCL Yesterday, Mr. John Tumor,
a builder, was opposed, on the ground that the sale
of certain houses, belonging to him, near Blackfriars.
road, to a Mr. Davis, of Lambeth-walk, was effected
by fraud and collusion, and that the deed of sale was
void. Mr. Davis denied that he understood the deed,
although he confessed it had been read to him by Mr.
Curtin, the attorney. A prior deed had been pre-
pared on instructions from the prisoner, of which the
vendee disapproved, as specifying a different sum as-
the consideration money therein from ibat agreed
upon, and which was altered on an higher stamp, to
evade a fraud on the revenue, which would wholly
nullify the deed.
It was farther charged, that the vendee had pur-
Lchased old building materials of the prisoner while in
prison, under their value, and that he hid not paid
either the mortgage debt or the remainder of the
purchase-money, and that the whole was a juggle for
dividing the effects between the prisoner and vendee,'
