I ■: LONDON. TEURsi Di-r, Oct. 4. 4 CCORDING to the French papers of j Monday last, which arrived this morn- ing, the public authorities in Madrid are beginning to act with more energy than they have hitherto done. .1 The Superior Political Chief (San Martin) had prohibited by procla- mation a display of the portrait of Riego in the streets, and a procession, which it was naturally feared might be made subservient to the schemes of the seditious. The porn forth, and the procession also but the troops were called out—the portrait was made prize of by the Political Chief in person—those of the mob who assaulted the soldiers were answered by the buts of the muskets-and we are happy to conclude the account by adding, that the club de FontanioiWas closed by the civil magistracy, after some of its most furious orators had been, to the peril of the Alcade's life, seized and lodged in prison. Gen. Morillo has re-assumed his post of Captain-General at Madrid. The King of Spain returned to his capital on the 22d ult. amidst the general acclamations of the people. On the following day, his Majesty I declared himself highly satisfied with the firm- ness which had been displayed by Morillo and San Martin, the Commandant and Political Chief of Madrid. The Cortes had commenced I their sittings. Letters from Monte Video to the 1st August were received yesterday. They state that pro- vince to have declared itself a portion of the Brazils, on condition that 6000 European troops shall be maintained by Portugal for their pro- tection. Hayti gradually assumes a station which en- titles it to the notice of civilized communities. The reduction of that portion of that island, with all its inhabitants, under the dominion of Boyer, which lately languished under the tyranny of Christophe, justifies the expectation that in the room of blind ignorance and turbulent ferocity, \^e shall ere long behold it the seat of sober Government and Christian morality. A system of public instruction has been instituted and encouraged by Boyer, and the documents which illustrate the origin and infant progress of the establishment for that great national object at Cape Haytien, will inspire an interest in every well-disposed bosom. A chamber of Commerce is also on the point of being organised at the Cape, which will sensibly contribute to foster and improve the intercourse between Hayti and foreign countries, iu itself a grand source of civilization.
