CARDINAL GONSAL VI.

•. ITALY. OCTOBER Is.
Hardly anything is spoken of in our circles but the
departure of Cardinal Gonsalvi for Montopoli, in. the
Sabine territory, who it is said, had never any intention
of going to Naples for the recovery of his health. %Veil
informed persons, consider his removal from the post
which he filled under Pope Pius VII. as an irrefragable
proof that Leo XII. by no means participates in the sen.
timents of his predecessor; that he intends the restora-
tion of the ancient state of things, or rather, that he in-
teads to revive the old institutions which were abo-
lished under the late Government.
The removal of a stateman like Cardinal Gonsalvi
from Rome excites much regret. Nobody possessed
like him.a perfect knowledge of the policy which it is
necessary to follow in our age, and of what the progress
of knowledge indispensably requires. He was the con-
stant companion of Pius VII. and was indefatigable in
his exertions for the welfare of the Roman people. The
people too, as the Sovereignty is nut hei editasy, are not
accustomed to blind obedience: they discuss the duties
of a Sovereign, and a Pope who is not a second Pius
VII. will hardly gain the general approba-tkm, if he
takes measures contrary to the system of the last
Government.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER ls`23.
THE FUNDS.
STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Consols opened at 83k, I,j, and k, for next Account, at which
price they are steady. In the early part of the morning much Nisi-
ness was done: one Broker bought ,ClOO,OOO at 83k for next Acct.

It is confidently asserted this morning that the new Royalist
Loan had been taken by subscription at Paris, which has caused
Spanish Bonds to fall per Cent. Other private letters from that
capital assert that a certain party of Jobbers, connected with a party
in London, exert all their endeavours to depreciate the Spanish
Market in [fat capital, and are using all their interest with the
French Press to insert various reports fur their own views. We
bear of only one failure yesterday in the Spanish Market, and that
was not to any great extent.

Wonderful! most wonderful I—The Nem Timis,
which has so constantly opposed itself to.the Spanish
Constitutionalists, and to all deriving any claim or title
from them, has at last been brought to declare that " if
the King of SPAIN means, by the Decree of the 20th of
October, to annul all the loans raised by the Revolu-
tionary Government, he acts, in our opinion, with as
much injustice as impolicy." It then proteeds to re-
echo the observation which we made yesterday, that
however true it .may be, as M. Gueau*an alleges;
that the admission of such claims " would be una-
nimously reprobated by the Spanish nation r—thii
circumstance, amounting as it would, merely to an
unanimous refusal by a body of debtors to pay-what
they fairly owe, cannot affect in the least the justice of
the claims upon them. " A time" we are told "will
cone, when it (the Spanish nation) will listen to the.
voice of justice." The voice of justice, however, in the
opinion of the !ern 1 hues, only commands that the
(wily loans should be recogniZed," It " cannot
trace such a bona fides
.in the later pecuniary trans-
actions of the Cortes," as entitles them to be recog-:
nized ; and by bona fides, it here means, we are
told, " that honesty, which is enlightened by a com-
petent share of knowledge and common sense." Su-
perlative ncnsense I Pecuniary claims to be decided
by the degree of knowledge and common sense pos.
seised by the creditor ! We should like to know what
superiority the early Bondholders possess in these re-
spects. flow is the line to be drawn ? and who is to
draw it ? In short, the idea of such a distinction is too
ridiculous to bear a moment's serious discussion.

What the Mw Times aims at insinuating; though it
seems half afraid to stand sponsor for such a piece of
absurdity, is, that the more recent lenders of money to
the. Constitutional Government might have had com-
mon sense enough to perceive that it was fast approach-
ing to its dissolution. But if this consideration could
affect the power whip the Constitutional Government
possessed to bird the
.nation,. by its transactions with
foreigners, how would the early Bondholders fare, when
it fnay as truly be said of them, that if they had had one
particle of corn mowieuse, they might have seen that such
a Constitution 'as that adopted by the Spanish revolu-
tionists, could never work to good ;• and that, but for

the support they gave to it by 'their loans, it would.
come to its end much sooner Otani; has done?—
The truth, however, is, that all such sPectilations have
nothing whatever to do with the bona fide of 4.19' POCII`"
niary transactions in question.

The French Papers of; Wednesday, and the Etoik of
Thursday, have been received, but they contain littlel
intelligence of importance. Nothing is said of the health
of his MAJEary ; but it is stated that be did not go out
on Tuesday, though he appears to have been well
enough to transact business with the Comte de Vtut.erm
and the Duc de DounzauvlLLE, the Director-General
of the Posts.
The Monikur gives thcsenfence on General Ritmo,
but without any remark. The army, of BALLasrenos
is said to have been dispersed with order and tranquil-
lity. Marshal MoNcEY entered Barcelona at the head
of the principal part of the 4th Corps on the 4th instant,
whose fine martial appearance, it, is said, made a great
impression on the Spaniards. All the posts were
occupied by six o'clock in the morning, As soon as
the French entered by the Gironne gate, the Spa-
nish garrison marched out by the Valencia gate.—
MINA, who is said to be in a very bad state of health,
and General ROTTEN, embarked that evening in a ship
which was placed at their service; agreeably to the con-
vention for the surrender of the place. A party of the
troops of the 4th corps entered Hostalrich and Tarra
gona on the same day that the Marshal Duke of COR4
NEGLIANO entered Barcelona. •

This morning we received accounts from Bayonne to
the 7th inst. The idle story of the cession of the Ba-
learic Isles to Russia is repeated. •
BAYONNE, NOVEMBER O.
Our letters froes Madrid are of the 2nd, and we
have journals to the 4th ; the latter contain no news.
The letters speak of the arrival of the Duke of Angou-
leme almost incognito, notwithstanding the royal de-
cree, which orders that he shall be everywhere re-
ceived iu the same manner as the Infants. However,
the Royal Volunteers went in crowds to do duty -about
his person, and- the people b 1 their tries and huzzas
testified their desire to see him. His Royal Highness
was not inclined to shew himself, hut, at the entreaty of
the Duke de Guiche, appeitied for a short. time. The
conduct of the. King, nitla respect to the Duke, iti
thought very remarkable, when it is seen that he has
authorised him to nominate as many Grand Crosses and
Knights of the Order of Charles HI. as he shailthink fit..
Some fireworks were dis?lnyed before the Prinee's win-
dow, and the whole city was illuminated.
The following circumstanee,which is related as a fact;
will thew how difficult it is to form an opinion of the
King's intentions. On thesOth September, General Alava
was nominated by him to the office of High Admiral,
as a reward for what he had done for his Majesty's
libesty, and on the Ist of October he gave orders to
-arrest him, and strip him of all his emplbyments.
The eras"' si.er•ninrs sk• purifications, as atiy
ire called, has been published here (at Madrid), because
of the King having resolved to make no nominations to
any officers till he has arrived in the capital. Madrid
is tranquil, and will doubtless remain so as long as the
French troops are in fore& there. • -
Count Pozzo di Borgo has arrived to conclude, it was
affirmed. the cession made o his.Scivoreign of.the Ba-
learic Islands. The Gazette stated, that by the capitu-
lation of the 26th October between'the Captain-General
Laguna and the Constitutional General Plasencia, the
column of the EnspecinactO was inc)uded; but it-is noi
true that that Chief has acceded to this capitulation;
which, howeier, like the others, guarantees persons snd
property. We every moment ezPettehe Duke of Reggio;
General 'Oben has already arrived. - The 14th' Resi-
lient of .the Line will tome in to-morrow. The Spa-
nish exiles continue to arrive, as-well as those who vo-
luntarily quit that distraetid,conntro. •

Dutch Papers to the ISth instant, which reached us
this morning, contain the following. article on the af-
