The Frcnch Aliisters are said to have determined on twCo mt!asures of no small importanice, one respecting their for,ign,. and the otler their domestic policy. The first is, the reciuction of their army in Spain; the last, the relin- quishment, or at least the procrastination, of M. VILLELE'S favourite, and we should th;nk useful proposition, of low- ering the interest on the national debt. The besetting evil of France at present, is her unjust invasion of the Penin- sula; and we know that she sees no way of extricating her- self from that iniquity anid its consequcnccs. She wants money ; the KIN, would(I wvish to indemnify the emigrants; the intended reduction of the rentes had a view to that object: the measure failed, and is to be defcrred. The dimni- nution of the army, then, is the only plausible ueccedaneun-. But how to effect that object wheln so largc a force is kept up on a foreign territory ? A part of that force is to be withi- drawn: but what will become oftherest? Itis tobe remoifed to the strong places: the troops so stationed, will ere long after the departure of the main body, be besieged. Let France recollect, that when she sent her troops-into Spain, FEnDI- NANPD notwithstanding his crimes, was treatedl with the homage dlue1 to a King. He was safe even in the hanids of his injured subiects- If he should be less safe on the re- tiremenit of the 'Vnch forces, then will the expe(litioni have effected this obje.t-that it will have brought the Spanish KING, whom it was 9-nt to protect, into greater jeopardy ; and will lhave prevented him from effecting a reconciliation with his subjects, andI arraniging with them the system of a Constitutional Government. The reduction of the rentes, it is now said, will be de- ferred for two years. The desire of the new Ki No, as the measure is unpopular, m-ay have softened the resolution of Lhe Minister in this respect. LONDON, TUlUIRSDI', OCTOBER 14, 1824.

rune Court was occuptet the wnole of the day in hearing a cause, Wayte v. Baxter," respecting the performance of an agreement ror a lease, in which there was nothin1, of public interest. DOLBY AND ANOTHIER V. LOWN1DES. Mr. AGAR, during a pause occasioned by the Vice-Chaincellor'as risiny to quit the court, said that the bill in this causc was now amended mn the manner suggested to him by the Court on Saturday, and that he would therefore now take the injunction he had then prayel, to restrain the defendant from publishing the comedy of A Woman never Vext ; ox, the IVidow of Corniill. Ar. Lowndes addressed his Hlonour and said, that he had receivea no notice of the application which had been made to the Court but through the public ionrnals. He had therefore been unable to in- struct counsel to ODpose the motion,and as His Hlonour was of opinion that it ought now to go on, he must crave tLe indulgence of being heard to argue his own case in person. The VICE-CIHANCtELLOR explained to Mr. Lowndes, that mo- tions praying for the injunction of the Court were always, by the long-continued practice in Chancery, made exparte, and granted or, the affidavits of the partics who applied for them. It was then for the defendants to move that the injunctions should be dissolved, aad upon this latter miotion the rnerits of the case were argued. When that time should arrive ir. Mr. Lowndeses case, he inight be heard in person if he thought fit; but at present the injunction must be granted. Mlr. Lowndes then withdrew, and the business of the Court, which had been suspended during this conversation, proceeded. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, ON0DAY, Nov. ,2.

The news from South Ameri...
The Times, 1824-09-02T00:00:00

The news friom South America is of a cheering tendency. OLANETA, a Royalist Gcneral, has, with his division, ce- clare(d for the cause of independlencee, and opened coininu- nications with BO!.IVAR. What adds to the value of ins accession to the Patriots is, that he had previously beaten the Spanish General CARATALLA Witll a corps of 3,000 men. This event must contribute powerfully to the final success of the Indcpendents. But, however true it is that BOI UVAR may have been greatly strengtlhene(d by OLANE- r A, and( his prospects of victory heightened, it is not true that this illustrious patriot and statesman did actually fight CANTARAc, aid( win thebattle, on the 6th of May, or cnter Lima triumpphant on the 10th; both which facts, as ourreaders Icnlow, were asserted positively in the Guayaquil letter, of wvhich, on its first appearance, we declared at once our belief that it was a forgery, though i c could not then prove the fact. However, the present ac- counts come down to the 13th of May, from BOLIVAR'S head-quarters, and say not a word of the re-conquest of Lima, three (lays, or of tlhe victory over CANTAIRAC seven days, preceding. In truth, the Guayaquil news being now clearly proved a cormplete fabrication, the Contractors for the Colombian loan, and other persons injured by it, and interested in the (letection of the culprit,are, weunlderstand, about to take the necessary measures for punishing and exposing its authors. In the case of Lord COCuRANJE, tile Stock Exchange were ready enough to push the investiga. tion to its full extent; they are therefore pled7ged, in obvi- ous regard to reputation and good morals, to lend their strenuous assistance on this occasioni.

Petitions have already be"zl pr isent-' #Parliament, and leave obtained to bring in a bill for es abli8hirdeth institution aS n joint stock company. The capital i to be oe tnillion sterling, in shares of .gO. each of which three-fifths ar c to be'r.ubscribed in England, and two-fifths in ireland. The co pterns of the company to be conlucted by 20directors, 12 of whom ar .to be nominated from the stock-holders in England, and cighr fremn the stockholders in Ireland. The principles of th s institution un. similar to the lean bank company recently formed in London. Se;veral other new projects are preparing for public notice, sanc- tiened by mnore orless degrees of respectability, and offlring more or esa probabilitis in favour of ultimate success. In respect to the numberof new schemes for the employvment of money, London, antI indiet the country in general,strikingly resembles what it was at the periodofthe South Sea .cheme, when scarcelv any project was too ab- suird to obtain suppoIt. We believe, hoivei'er, that there exists at the present moment a much greater degree of information among the public at large, and that delusions cannot be practised so easily as at the period referred to: but it cannot be too strongly inculcated on those who are the first to come forward in the announce- ment of a new undertaking that they shall at lea.t have given it full consideration beNorehand, anid that their respect- ability ought, to a certain extent, to be identified with its success. Men of character in the city are too apt to lend the influence of their names to schemes of which they can know nothing, and seldom un- dergo the trouble of any inquiry into their merits. The same names also appear too often at the head of new undertakings; for it is clear that it there are required both knowledge and responsibility, the very number of new projects with which particular merchants and capi- islists allow themselves to be identificl must prevent an honest ad- ministration of them, however strong the inclination. In the city alone there have been started, during the last vweek, the following nrew undertal,ings;.-1. A company for obtaining from Government ' grant of laud of a million of acres, in New South Wales,to be erm. ployed in improving the growth of wool. 2. An association for the sjurpose of cutting a canal actoss the Isthmus of Darien--a project, by the wav, whicls ihas been already tried, anti met with a miserable Fail,ire, though the improvements in mechar.ics have becu too great ;ince that period to pronounce it impracticable. 3. A company for wavigating the Thamnes and Isis by steam. 4. A stew dock com- sassy, for coals only. All these areuntdertakings on a very large scale, and, in the present mania that p.cvails,every dav may be expectedl to tdd to their number.
