The 5 conservative principles" of the Holy Alliance ap. pear to be not only flourishing, but spreading. The public prcss, that common enemy of tyrants, after being effectually muzzled wherever a legitimate could set his finger-after being put dow7n in every corner of the old world, except in ,he yet unripe dominions of Great Britain, is now in a fair way of being extinguished even there-not, indeed, by a ,ke.ct intermeadling of the Holy Allies, but through the operatioe of some Instinct, akin to those which havo :1 ready warned the Monarchs of the Continent to beware of that danger, which, beyondt all others, if not opposed at an early stage, must finally and inevitably destroy them. In India, and now, it seems, in South Africa, both portions of the British empire, the press has been demolished, Our first wish is, that India, by whatever Tneans, may be enlight- enedl and set free. If, however, there be some shadows of argament raised upon the question of a free press in India, and thosevanislh in a moment before the light of truth, what can be conjured up by the bitterest enemy of free discussion, as an excuse for dreading the political conse- quences of a press at the Cape of Good Hope? What.popa- lation is to be excited there ? What confederacies of Ma- hometan or Hindoo potentates? The high-minded Hot- tentots, and Caifres so emiinent in arts and arms !- these are to be stirred up by English newvspapers to shake off our military dominion ! If not the wretched na- tives, what power is it that Lord C. So3SEBRST shrinlks from, when he employs a censorslhip (as reported in this day's Times) for putting down the public press? The English settlers! the Dutch boors ! the military garrison the naval cruisers! If his Lordship's acts were such as would not bear the light when fairly described and trans- mittel to England by a local newspaper, it would be pos- sible to understand the bearing of such an exercise of authority; but is it, we must ask, essential to the main- tenance of order and quiet in every British colony, that all those laws which protect at home the personal rights asnd property of the subject, should be superseded at the Gover- nor's pleasure ? WVe invoke the representatives of the people, now dispersed, to consider well these matters at their next meeting. HIow long is it, fromrI the first symptom of mortification at the extremities, before it preys upon the heart H

Of this Prince, who wajthe father of the Due -d'Enghien, an anecdote is related, which shows a trait of singular ,delicacy. On the death of his father the Prince of Conde, the title -fell on the Duc de Bourbon, but as he has no family, he refuaed to assume it, saying, " I ari not worthy to be the last of the Condes."

There arc no politic,tl news of murch interest in these papers. 'Plie following are extracts from the Etoile, dlated Sunday:- " PARIS, Nov. 13. " The Constilutiou,,el states to-dav, that the troops which eva- cuate Syain are going to form an Army of Occupation at Bayonne. We know not whence the correspondents of that journial can have taken such a piece of news. The evacuatlion of a part of Spain is at measaure take: in concert, cxectuted witl a good understanding, and not a measure of recrimination and( hostility. The French troops quit that part of Spain whicl they can leave without danger; Cadiz, Barcelona, which are the points whiere a force may seem the more ne- eess.ly, remain occupied; and 10,000 French at Cadiz answer to the King of Spain for the tranquiliity of that part of his kingdom) vlfech theSpanish troops cannot yet occupy. Two Swiss regiments at Aladrid are more than sufficient to mnaintain oTder til the Royal Guard shall be organizedl. The 15 months during wlhich Spain has been occupied by the French, have snot been lost for tho establishment of internal order. All was pro- vided for with regard to the departure of the troops who withdrew: all isconcerted between France and Spain fbr the stay of those that remain. " Letters from Mladrid in'brm us, says tha I.c/he dui illidi, and thefriends of the King will not hear it without lively regret, that in conocquence of the mortifcations experienced by Baron D'Eroles, tfat worthy t;eneral Officer is attacked by a mental disorder. which time and the aid of art will, it is hoped, relieve."

A ne oun sat to-day at tile Old Bailey New UCoRrt. JoAun Bukock- was opposed by Mlrs. Broadfoot, a tailor's widow, for a debt of 161. It appeared that the insolvent who was clerk to a soap-manufacturer, bad dealt with Mlrs. Broa3foot's husbanid fir some time, and subsequently with her, (sbe continuing to carry on the business), and paid his bill annually, until 1823, when, in con- sequeence of bad health, he was obliged to go to Brighton. WVhile there, he wrote to Al rs. Broadfont in Septemnber, ordering a suit of fashionable clothes to be sent to him, and diTecting her to send the bill at the same time, deducting the discount. The clothes were sent accordingly; but the insolvent being 'abli7ed to remarin longer at Brighton than he could bA spared, lost his situation, and was not able afterwards to pay for themn. The COURT thought that the insolvent had acted dishenourablv to- wards this poor woman. In ordering an expensive suit of clothes, with an intimation (for that was what was meant by telling her to deduct thediscount) that they were to be paid for immediately, at a timne -when hehad no probable prospect of being able to do so. He was, therefore, ordered to be remanded for four months from the date of lihr4r his petition: part of this perlod, however, has already ex- pired. Peftr Coniyn, Esq., who was in the commission of thc peace for the county of Clare, in Ireland, was opposed by Air. Watkins, a tailor. The insolvent stated, that during his rRother's life-time lie lhad been in the receipt of 4001. a-year, derived from a farm and an an- nulty, which, upon her death in 1822, passed from him to his uncle Mfr. M'Namara. But he possessed a bene?lcial interest in sevea leases in that Part of the country, which, upon its being restored to perfect tranquillity, woull be sufficiently valuable in a short time to pay the whole of his debts. He had also lodged a bond, upon which judgment had been entered, for 6001., in coutt, which be had every reason to believe, from the respectability of the party who had executed it, would be paid off. The COURT directed the insolvent to be discharged forthwith. The other cases in the paper being disposed of, the Court rose at half-past 12 o'clock. INS?LVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MomnAy. Nnv. R.

Extract of a Ietter from tbe Agents to Lloyd's at Laguayra, dated the 25th of April:- "We enclose directions for making and entering this port, drawn out by Mr. (C. Dunnirg, mastcr of the John Catto, who knows the coast and port well and the information, we are certain, will be of ereat use to strangers:- ' SAMINwG DtRgCTIONS FQt ENTERIXG TIHE PORT OF LA- OU AV RA. La>uayra, according to the su%rvey of Fidalgo, lies in lat. 10. .7. north, and long. 67. 0'2. dest, from Greenwich, which position seemns very correct. "V Vesse'ls from St. Thomas~,Barbadoes, &c.. in running for t6is harbour, should shape their course so as to make either Blanqailla to the east, or Orchilla to the %;'est. Both these islands are tolerably high, and mray be seen ti or I leagues off. From a fair birth be. t-ween them stecTing dowvn thef ought to endeavour to make in with the main land /; or 7 leagues to windward of l,aguayra, and then run alone shore for the roads. t " The land in the neighbourlhood of the port is very high. It 3ises gradually fromt Cape Cord,ra to the famous Silla of Caraccas. " laguayra, in e- ery direction from the sea, appears to) be imme- diatelv beneath the Silla. The; tow n and fortifications (which are whitc) may be seen distinctlv at five or six leagues' distance. Cape Itianco, about four miles to the westward of Liguayra, is otnly a small tongue of lan(d; and strangers approaching Laguayra mu.-t not depend upon making it as a cape, without they are close in zshore. and within three or four jeagues of it. " The land between Gape Cordera and Puerto Cavello may be approached without the least danger within two miles during the dav; but from sunset to eight or nine o'clock in the morning, during which timc there is no breeze, vessels should give it a widle birth-say six miles, lest the swell and curtent, both of which have a tendency to t3.he shore, should drive themn on the rocks. It is highly neces- Nary to obsetve this, as instances are not wanting of shlips driving past the harbour in the night. " Vesscls making L,aguayra in the evening should haul their wvind in time, for fear the wind s4ould fail then3 before they come to an anchorage. 'The town of Laguayra is .ituate on the easternmost part of a small bay. Goods are lantled and slhipped by mcans of canoes or b3ats holding abtout two tons, fiom a wootlen pier, which runs out *anom the middle of the town. This operation is sometimes difficult, and often verv dangerous on account of the surf. " Vesscls 6ound to the anchorhnc must be careful to have as many of their square sails furled as 'they can p9ssibly spare, and a gooil s-ope of both cables in readiness, as the regular breezes are generally very strong, and the ground in miany places foul. Chains are to be recommended. CSigned) " C!ONSTABLE DUNNING, Coommarsdink the English schooner Jo/in Catto. "Laguayra, Fcb. 7, 1824." CO LOMBIA.

The Times, 1824-07-23T00:00:00

The paragraph in tie Etoile, which we noticed yesterday more for amusement than as considering it entitled to any serious notice, has drawn forth long and laboured luoGu brations from some of our cotemporaries. In our judg_ ment, the Etoile and its Ultra neighbours of Germany are working to very little purpose; when they fancy that the Englislh nation, whatever may be the bias of the KING'S Ministers, will suffir itself, under any pretext, to be involved in the meslhes of the Holy Alliance. We long since published intelligence conveyed to us, tlhat in all pro- bability no troops under the control of this Governiment, Nvhether British or Hanoverian, would be sent to Lisbon to act under the orders of King JOHN. The despatch of a naval armament, reinforced by marines, few Eiiglishmrn, observers of the course of foreign politics, will object to, inasmuch as tbe 'establishment of our gallant navy is rather perhaps below the level of the times, than open to censure for extravagance. But with regard to these Ultra Royalist specuiatioiis concerning the mission of Count Muxt&raT to Pil Ce METTERNIC t'S diplomatic circle atJohannisberg, the first idea of collecting. Hanoverian troops for a voyage, of in- terference, no matter ofi what side of the question, viith the politics of a distant Power, did ne doubt appear to. have placed the Count and the German Cabinet of GEORGE IV. ini a pitiable sort of dilemma. If the consent of that non-descript the Germanic Diet, were, by its consti- tution, indispensable to the legality of the proposed arma- ment issuing from a German state, (and the Diet, of coarse, would be ready enough to set up such a pretension), it is obvious that Prince METTERNICH and the rest of the legi timates would clog their acquiescence with conditions tend- ing to give the Anglo-Hanoverian expedition to Portugal a colouring favourable to the views of the Holy Alliance. How, in case of the Hanoverian troops being sent, our Government could manage to force upon the world their own construction of thle measifre, in opposition to that of the Austrian Minister, we have yet to learn. Prince MET- TERNICH would say-I sanction your enterprise, because it is a virtual recognition of the doctrines of the Holy A1liance. Mr.CANNING cannot accept the authority zo expressed, send off thc troops, and theu turn round upon Europe-" I have "tespatched an army to Portugal, but it is not in confe- "deracy -with the Holy Alliance or its principles"-that wouldl be a breach of faith to the Alliance. To keep faith witlh them, on the other hand, he must break it to the British nation: so, with regard to this Hanoverian army, we suspect that, as Puf descrilbes it, Miinisters may have fel themselves "at a dead lock." The grand hope is, that they will follow throughout, the advice which, from the first, we ventured to offer them-namely, to steer clear of the trap whlich had been laid for them, and, except as a preventive of inyasion from other quarters, to shun), as they would disgraee itself, the proposed occupationi of Portugal.
