LISBON PAPERS.

ALICANT, JULY I.—Various letters from the
vicinity of the places occupied by the French in
La Mancha, Arragon, and Catalonia, concor in
mentioning their precipitate retreat at all points.

French troops, with the loss of a number killed,

CATA LONIA, JULY 7.—The pnblic enthusiasm
is reviving, and the means of safety, which the
urgency of our dangers imperiously prescribe, are
• prosecuted with greater energy than eier. The in.
deratigable O'Duunel is again at the head of the
army of this province, the head-quarters of which
are at present in Tariagotia.
On the sth, there was a slight affair with a French
corps, which made a sortie from Barcelona, but
immediately returned. Eight Italians deserted to
us, and as many more. dispersed then selves, and
are expected at Molina de ltei.
During this movement, Captain D. June Moreda,
with the assistance of 10 rank and file, had the
. boldness to approach the fortree of Barcelona, so
~ flair as actually to pass within the linos of Forte
iPio, and to carry off from the very ditch 90 sheep,
amidst the confusion occasioned by an enterprise of

LONDON:
SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1810.

THE MORNING CiIIiGNICLZ of this day his
the ful•lu wing very extraordinary article:
The late rosvulsiou in the mercantile world has given rue
to a project of a new Joint Stork Company, with a capital of

five millwas, ander tue title of 't Toe Commercial Loan and
laterett Company."
It is to be divided Mtn three branches :
I. The Deposit /segos*, tic a general accommodation on
real property, the profit of which to accumulate at com-
pound uncrest.
Interest Braga, by which persons may deposit small
sums, and receive the Company's bills, bearing interest.
3 Credit Braxcls, by which Subseriben may draw at 183
days, 9 or I?. atontln date, on the Company, fur three-foarths
of the amount of his stock, upon his cognovit. to provide for
the same three days before the period of his bills—by this hi,
capital is to be made active,
The plaa has litany details, and it is said that three of the
first characters iodic City patronize the plan.
This is gravely given in The Chronicle, without
any note of sarprize, or question ; and therefore;
we suppose, was gravely received by the Editor.
It will, however* be read with a smile upon every
countenance, except by such as having still some
respect left for The Chronicle, are ready to drop a
tear over its departed brightness. The Chronicle
formerly had a very accurate knowledge of puliti.
cal economy. It shone as one of the lint of stars
in that hemisphere. /few is all this altered, aid.
how du such articles as the above gut into the
Paper ? It is a matter to he lamented, bielllmlrb
The Chronicle is a Paper of great regiendellis
and generally takes the side that Inset. Neves
the tree interests of the People, which The
Chronick has been well acquainted with, and
has been the able advocate of.roThe proposition is
so ridiculous, that it must boi.abeosehesou of some
madman ; unless, indeed, it is the project of specia.,
later:, to take advantage of the distresses of the
times, in offering temporary relief to lasting, to im.
moveable distresses. A scheme of this sort teas
set ou foot some years since by Ilawrsina, PLAY.
F AIR, and HUTCHINSON, which terminated is their
uwu ruin, and that of many individuals concerned
with them. We do not accuse those three persons
with designing anything wrong, is the trial they
made, fog. theip angered by it. Hat who cats

tendons; and past good conduct—it castrot be for
their foresight, or even present knowledge! If
they are honest, they are ignorant, be they whom
they may ! If they are honest, some designing spe-
culators have drawn them into this scheme, for the

tiously called the Credit Branch. The Credit
Subscriber may draw on the Compaq for three.
fourths of the amount of his stock. Vastly well !
There will be many a Credit Subscriber, who will
be glad to sell you all his stock at three-fourths of
the amount of its value, and sell you another and
another stock after that at the same rate, and will
live by the loss ! But if a tradesman is nut of this
description, how is he to be benefited by the depo-
sit ? The scheme says very pleasantly, that this
deposit, and getting bills on the Company, will
make the Credit Subscriber's capital active.
How is that ? By locking it up in a worse hole
than even Heligoland ? Oh ! but the bills may
be made active, when the goods they thus
•represent, would have lain dead and immov.
able ! But how is that to be? If it be in paying
the manufacturer fur the goods, that won't move
the stock ; and if it be in buying new goods, that
will only bring the credit subscriber to your pawn.
shop with more goods, also to he locked up! Buts
perhaps, the deposited goods are to be sold by the
Company's managers, wholesale or retail, at Auc-
tion Marts, or in warehouses, or shops, or to be sent
to fieligolond, or any place where you can land
your goods, with or without easterners. If that is
the scheme, no tradesmau will give you his go oils,
(bona fideleught) for 25 per cent. less than their
va ue, leaving you to sell them (if you can find
a market) at your discretion, which discretion may
throw away all his profit. Men who get goods on
credit, never meaning to pay, or indifferent as to the
matter of paying for them or not, not only may, but
will come with stock, for your Company's bills,
at three-fourths its value, and it mill answer their
purpose; but if you are honest bow is it to answer
your's, that is to say, the Company's purpose, unless
you are to sell the goods at the full price of the
dealer, and so get 251. per cent.? But does any.
body expect that ? And does any body expect
that dealers who have goods bold fide their own
will put that game into your hands to play ?
There is an absurdity in thuscheme, any way, that,
is almost childish to combat ; and we should nut
have wasted this space on it, if it had been in soy
newspaper, unworthy of notice (sod Goo knows
there ere several insch).—But where it ie, we fear
it may be mischievous; and if The Chronicle
writers will not see, it is right we should prevent
the public from falling into the ditch with them !
Tau Morning Post has the following to-day
" The Address to the Army in favour of the esscb-hijured
Duke et YORK, certainly proceeded from no military body
whatever, and his Royal Highness, in far frosts giving any
counteatince to it, expressed his utmost displeasure on the oc-
casion. We understand it was the produratin of Mr. W.
a Gratlernan of one of the Inns of Court."
The essgk-injured Duke: True enough, he is
injured! but who has injured him ? Why, The
Morning Post, and his other indiscreet friends.
I"he Duke may pray to be delivered from his com-
forters, for no man ever was so unfortunately coin.
forted as he has been. As to the person alluded to
as having written the Address, we are quite ignorant
of that. But doss The Morning Post mean to
say, the Gentleman wrote the Address as a hoax
upon the Public ? Very well! The Public, unfortii.
stately, is liable to the jest created by such kind
of wit. We believe, however, that the article was
written for the army ; that the plan of getting hands
to it was tried, and that it failed from the hootiag
odium it excited. It might nut proceed from any
military body : but it might proceed, and we be.
lieve it did, from Officers of rank, intending to
make it the act of the-Anne, an act (as we have
said) treading closely upon medley and treason !
