It should really appear that the French (ercipiendis exeep/is) are going to quit Spain ; and the Paris journals, each in its respective sense, are cloquent and argumenta- tive on the subject. Thle Journal des Dehats dreads the return of anarchly and the reviyal of the Liberalparty. The Constilutionnel, on the contrary, fears for the Liberals, wlhom the presence of the Freneh troops protects from massacre. " Leave them all to themselves," we again say. If the Constitutional party cannot defen(l itself, theni has its attempt to impose a limitedl inonarchy been premature and ill-judlgedi, and its members must suffer the ordiinary fate of unsuccessful reformers. With respect to the Royalists, also, or Ultra-royalists, or by whatever other title they are designated, they have obtained all that they asked-the liberation of the Ki;xe&'s person: they, there- fore, have been long witlhout a pretext for opposing the re- turn of the foreignier. WVe think the Spaniards will know by this time-if any thing can enlighten their stupid pride -who it was that drovc the French out of the Peninsula before. 'Flie period fixed for the evacuation, accordinlg to treaty, is the ist of January approaching-an awkward thr,e for the passage of the Pyrenees: and it still appears that the i nvaders are to retain some of the strong places. *Ve wish to see the foreign force removeil, and Spain left to herself. 'Whatever then may be her fate, we shall be content. If slie shall prove unable to work out for herself a free conisti- tution, that inability will prove her unworthy of it. Ty- ranny, Popery, and the Inquisition, will have sunk her sons below the level of free men. 'I'lhere let them remain, till some happier occasion slhall awake their genius andl ener- gies. As soon, however, as the foreigner shall be with- drawn from the Peninsula, we trust that the Spanish re- fugees in this and every other country wvill thinik it their dIuty to press homewarld, andI take a part in the troubles (if we mulst so call them) or afftirs of their country. The Journal des Debets thinks that there will be danger to the Royalist party from the evacuation of Spain. Wheni will there not be that danger ? Wihen will the period arrive, at which those who have iniro(lueed a foreign army into their country tbr the support of their cause, can safely con- fide in the love of their countrymen, and deprive them- selves of their foreign.protectors? We answer boldly- never, till all those by whom the entrance of the foreigners wvas oppooscl arc massacred. If the French, therefore, mean to leave Spain trariquil, in their sense, anil the despotism secure, let them begin the wvork of lestruction to-morrow. 'I'heir stay upon any other terms loes but augment the dlanger of their departuire. 1. FADON. RIDAY rA. NO VEMB fr? 12. 1824.

Sir-The interest which has been excited in behalf of the Spa- aish Refugees and their cause, so ably advocated in your journal, has induced rmei in order more fully to urge the necessity of contri- butions by the Enirlish people, to notice a subscriptioB which is novw zommenced at the Old Parr's Head in Dactors' Cmmons, by afew tricnds and neighbours, who usually meet at this house in the ever- ilg. The plan adopted, is one whicl, for its simplicity and noveltv, can hardly fail to recommend itself. and consists in a smaU box fixed over the fire-place in the room with the following inscription: -" Donations on behalf of the Foreign Refugees." Any sum, however small, is thankf'ully received, and to.day five pounds will be transm itted to the Lord Mlayor, at the Mal sion house, for the use of the suffering Refugees. By inserting this letter in yb e paper, it may have the effect of produting, by similar methods handsome sum for the alleviation of the distressed and much in- iured Snaniards. I am.

Lettcrs were received yestprday from Valparaiso, dated the 28th of May, wvhbich contain intelligence from Limna of the 4th of that motntli. The Captain of a merchant-ves_. el,.vhiclh left Callao on the ,9th, had brought information that the Indeperident troops had advanced on the 4th to >7itbill a few leagues of Lima, and that a general cngage- ment was expected; but this statement is not fully borne out by the contents of the letters of that date from iLima, which mnention that BOLIVAn, according to thle latest ac- counts of him, continued in his head-quarters at Truxillo. It appears likely, therefore, that the troops seen in the vi_ ciuuity of Linsa were only his guerilla parties, wvho are men- tioned in the last Panama papers to have been ranging the country, andl even to have enteredl Lima itself witlh impunity. The Lima letters add, that tthe gene- ral engagement between BOLIVAR and CANTARAC, on whicli the fate of' Peru would dlepend, was expected to take place in the course of the month of June. It ap- pears that the port of Callao was vigorously blockaded by the Peruvian squa-dron un(ler Admiral GuisE, whose ships, in bravado of the Spaniards, often advanced witlhin reach of the batteries, and fired shots at the castle. 'l'he Valparaiso letters state, that the Quintanilla schoo- ner, a piratical vessel, which had long been committing depredations off that port, hadl been brought in, detained by La Diligence, a French corvette of war. She was taken o2f Quilea, on the coast of Peru. The Commander of f is Britannuic Majesty's ship Cainhridge hatl previously re- ceived communications from the British merchants at Val- paraiso, complahining of the injury sustained to their com- merce by the Quintanilla, to which the following reply was given, addressed, for the merchants, to the English Consul for Chile:- " His Majesty's ship Cambridge, Valparaiso, Mlay 24, 1824. Sir,_I have this moment had the honour to receive your letter of yesterday's date, respecting the seizure of the Bruce by the Spanish armed vessel the Quintanilla, and therefore requesting protpcticn for the Brisislh vtssels trading to the intermediate ports between Cal. lao and Valparaiso. " In reply, I am happy to be able to assure you, that I have al. ready taker nieasures for the recovery of the Bruce and detention of the pirate, antd taken such other means as are mnost likely to give securitv te British property on this coast in future. "It is not in my power at this moment to spare a ship to be ex. clusively employed at Qaiilca, but by the arrangement I have made of men cf war, one will be off that port every 15 or 20 days, both for the purpose of giving protection to the trade, and of embarking such remittances as you may from time to time have ready to embark.

Fight Between Spring And ...
The Times, 1824-06-09T00:00:00

At a few minutes past one yesterday, the pugilistic con- test, in theineighbourhood of Chichester, which was to de- cide the championship, as it is called, of England, began between Spring anti Langan. The latter had been already comnpletely beaten by Spring, at Worcester, several months ago but his countrymen, the Irish, pretended that he had foul plav, and got up another battle. It is quite evident that he had not the remotest chance of success: for though he fought 77 rounds, the superiority of Spring was so evi-_ dent, even in the 7th round, that the betting was (in the slang language) " a guinea to nothing;" and m the loth (though, by the way, it seems an anti- climax), " the Bank of England to a nutshell." Lang,an diplayed courage, but the length of the fight vas principally owving to the forbearance of Spring. Langan was at last beat into a state ot insensibility, and the contest ended after an hour and ' minutes. The courage of the cumbatants is a mat- ter wvhich can admit of no dispute: the quiet spec- tators who made their gains, by the exertions of ot'her men's courage, we suppose wlll be con tent to be thought rather knowing than brave. If we thought prize. fights tended to prodluci or nourish a manly spirit amnong the people, we should be among the frst to promote them; but when we look back to the tough old English character lonig before the prize-ring was heard of, we see no reaEon to think tbat English Yalour needs the excitement of large gains; andv we do not like to see jobbers and pick-packets assume to be. the best patrons of that invincible hardihood whose surest fouadation we apprehenld to be self-respect and .freedom.

The papers and letters brought .by the Jamsica packet, and which are dated up to the 18th ult., were delivered yesterday. They containi little intclligence from Co- lombia and Peru. The head-quarters of 13OLIVAR had been removed from Truxillo to Pativilca, a place about 70 miles to the north of Lima, and his advanced guardl ha(i penetrated as far as Pasco, within a very few miles of that city. CANTARAC, the Spanish General, who by the last accounts was moving on Lima with a consider- able force from the southward, had rctreated on hearing of BOLIVAR'S advance, not feeling himself sufficiently strong to place the fate of Peru on the issue of a battle. This cir- cums-ance had left Lima open to BOLIVAR, as so few troops remained in the city that he could take possession of it whenever he pleased, though, as it is not a military position, it might be inexpedient for him to do so, until also able to regain possession of the fortrcss of Callao, which, as will be recollected, was lost early in the year through the treachery of the black troops. This port, by the latest accounts, was closely blockaded by the Peruvian squadron. CANTARAC, it is stated, was expo.ed to considerable difficulties in his retreat, owing to the activity and talent of General MILLER, a British officer in the Colombian service, commanding a small corps of cavalry and guerillas, wlho harassed the rear of the Spanish General, and cut off the straggling parties of his troops. If these account3 can be depended on, affairs are obviously in a favourable train for the success of BoI- VAR and the independence of Peru.
