T F' ~' I rip ,~ t ~ LONDON. THE EVENING STAR. THURSDAY, 'AUGUST 12, 1819. PantcE lICI LI Tai niant-DAY.—lloliday at the Public Ogees. Every important question should Ive discussed im partially, and without passion; nor can any way be devised so well qualified to elicit truth as by hearing the parties whose views are opposed to each other deliver their sentiments in their own terms. On this principle, we give a place in our columns this day to an article which appeared in The Morning Chronicle of this morning, entitled—" On leaislotive Interfi , renee in the Regulation ?f the Prices of Lahonr.'"— To the arguments and reasoning employed in this communication, we will, in pursuing the,great ques tion .of the Remuneration duefor .L.Pii;om,r, pay every attention, as soon as we can spare time anclroum. In the interim, we must observe, that in the state ment there is nothing new : the arguments are the same that have been employed, fur years, by the pseudo-economists. There is also, throughout, a mere begging of the question, disguised. indeed, by a pre tended reference to principles, which, we venture to assert, the wrir has not studied, or it he has studied them, which he has not understood. We will go farther with this writer in admitting his premises, than he may believe possible ; and, in due lime, we shall chew that his conclusions are di rectly opposed to them. We only remark on his leading doctrine at present--that all Legislative inter ference between the employers and the employed is inju rious. We agree with him in this : nay, we go far ther than he and The Morning Chronie!e will be wil to go with us, till they shall first have bestowed mote attention on the question—we go so far as to say that a large portion of the distress that now per vades the Manufacturing Districts, is owing to Le gislative interference We are not now alluding to Sp.italfields—which might be very convenient for them in the cenfined view they take of this question; but to those /azr,i which punish workmen for meeting to regulate the prices of their labour, while the em ployers may, and do meet, as often as they please, to combine with each other, not merely to keep down the price of labour to such a scale as shall prevent the goods from being loaded with an excessive charge for wages, beyond what is necessary for the suste nance of the workmen, but, in many instances, to reduce the wages to less than half the sum required for the support ?f the laboirer. When the workmen dare to speak with each other about the remuneration which they ought to receive for their labour, the law calls it a conspiracy, and the delinquents (as they are then called) arc •isited with exemplary punishment. Bur when the masters meet to combine in a league of oppression against the workmen, and to compel them, by the paying only half wages, to become paupers for the other half, levied by assessment on the rest of the community, then, forsooth, their conspiracy obtains a softer name —it is only a meeting to regulate some matters rela tive to their own trade. It follows then, that so far as concerns the Em ployers and the Employed, the effect of Lcgidative interference has been to protect the masters, and leave the men entirely at their mercy. The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this forenoon. At the KING'S Levee, on Sunday, the Minister of Marine presented to his MAJESTY two young Princes from Madagascar, who have been sent by their pa rents to be educated in Paris. Another celebrated exile, the Duke of BASSANO, ‘MARET) is said to have obtained permission to re tarn to France. _ _ The Duke of WELLINGTON'S destination is reported to be Carlsbad, where, as our Readers are aware, a sort of Congress is about to beheld. As yet nothing• is said of any Envoy on the part of France. 'The Ultra-royalist Paper, the Quotidienne, affirms that the Presidency of the Ministry has been offered to the Duke of RICHELIEU, but refused by his Grace. The accounts from Prussia still teem with viola tions of personal liberty. At the same time that thee three Professors at Bonn were arrested, a Dr. Tor,- Litmus was taken into custody at Eloerfeld and corn • mitted to the prison of Muhlenfels. Dr. Totscsius had the imprudence to write the words sauvez-moi on a slip of paper which lie got conveyed in some man ner out of the prison. The paper was intercepted by his keepers, and the consequence has been that this Gentleman and scholar, known and esteemed through all Germany for his writings, has been put in irons. Among the persons arrested in the Duchy of Nassau, are three superior Officers and four Ecclesiastics. A private letter from Frankfort states, that at the apart ments of a student arrested at Gussen, there was a Plan of a Republican Government, of which Frank fort was to be the capital. The warrant issued by the Government at Berlin for the arrest of the three Professors at Bonn, but which has been so happily baffled by the independent , conduct of the Authorities of that place, was in the following terms 7.- 4 ' The Professors Aftsarr and WELCKER ate seriously suspected of having taken part in certain Very dangerous political intrigues, and secret associations. Their papers shall he seized by a special Commission and examined in presence of the accused, and then sent to Berlin, in order that it may be ascertained whether they contain any poli dial views upon a ftiture Constitution for Germany, on the union of the German people . w secret associa tions, or on the league of Students known by the name of Burschenschaft." The Members of the Bavarian Chamber of De puties have, on their return to their respective homes, been every• where honoured by the warmest tes timonies of the popular approbation. Their consti tuents have testified, with enthusiasm, their satisfac sion at the manner in which the Chamber defended their interests. The towns of Itatisbon and Nutern berg have particularly distinguished themselves on the return of their Deputies ; the Magistrates them• selves hastened to join their homages to those of the inhabitants. 7 i .,,, r !#. -',' t , • oil ~.L ,-‘') I , 4, v„. , ..„.. , i . , , i ; ' - li I -•-•- . . ........ . , . * p .. , is.) 1 I, F • 1 TRINIDAD. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, JUNE 15. g , We are never without political news of our un• fortunate revolutionary neighbours, and when I con template the unhappy fate of the unfortunate Inde pendents of the South, it chills the very current of', my blood ; their struggles have been long, constant, ;Ind almost fatal ; their wars have been the wars or cannibals.; the character of the Chiefs of the Royal Power who acted their brutal parts upon the theatre of the South, are of the thost gloomy complexion ; the misery suffered by the poor emigrants in this Co lony is beyond description—however, things go on gloriously with the Independents at present—the generous aid of the English has given this party a national character; the campaign, I think, will de termine the fate of the Royalists' defeat and disgrace. I had the pleasure of being introduced to Mr. B. IRVINE, the American Agent to Angustura, who, on his way home, passed some time with us, and ob-' tainal a very considerable knowledge with respect to the History of this Island : he was well received, and had much attention paid him, not by Govern ment, for you know that our Government detests the Yankees. He will transmit to the President a very favourable account of the newly-established Govern vernment of Venezuela—he resided there about eight months. The armies are reported 'to be equal in number, about 6000 strong. The Independents have about 3000 English and German troops, with ;nod Officers, all well clothed and in high spirits. The Congress is is Session in Angustura, the Government is well established, ar.d some able men at their head." Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, Prince Le 0..., POLD arrived in town, at Marlborough house, from Claremont, in his travelling post-chaise, attended by Baron HARDENBROOKE, followed by SIT ROBERT GARDINER and Dr. STOCKMAN, in a barouch. His Royal Highness and suite only remained during the time of changing horses, and ►hen proceeded through London to Barret, on his way to Sealand, where his Royal Highness will visit the Duke of MoNrriosE, the Earl of LACDEEDALE, and several others of the Nobility and personages of distinction in the north. Thursday last, Mr. Sic/inn, Steward to the Prin cess of WALES, who, since her departure from this kingdom has resided at Kensington Palace, received a letter from her Royal Highness, informing him that she was on her way from l'esaro to England, where she expected to arrive in a very short time ; and desiring him to communicate to Mr. ST. LEGER her wish, that he should immediately proceed to Ca - lids, to be in readiness to meet her on her arrival there, and that Miss GARTH and Mrs. ST. LEGER should repair to Dover, in order to be in readiness to attend her Royal Highness on her landing at that place. The PRINCESS also expressed a wish that her apartments at Kensington Palace should be prepared for her reception. The moment the contents of this letter were made known, the surprise that took place was greater than can well be expressed ; and no small degree of contusion and embarrassment prevailed among the present inhabitants of Kensington Palace. A similar surprise was, on the receipt of the intelli gence, excited at Carlton House and the other Royal Palaces, no individual belonging to which had the slightest intimation that the Illustrious Personage in, question intended so soon to come back to this coun try. At the time when her Royal Highness left England, the whole of her furniture was removed from the apartments she had occupied at Kensington Palace ; and no idea having been entertained that she intended again to return to them, some of them have since been appropriazed to the establishment of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of KENT. Under these circumstances it has been con eluded, that the idea of affording the PRINCESS an ;lc commodation at her late residence, must be altogether abandoned ; and we understand that a house, with every suitable convenience, has been provided at Blackheath, and that it will be ready for the recep tion of her Royal Highness as soon as she reaches that place. The PRINCESS has not yet arrived, but is expected very shortly. Various (and indeed some strange) conjectures have been hazarded, as to the motives that could have induced the PRINCESS to re visit a country to which it was supposed she had bade a final adieu. But the most probable reason is the suit which is now pending in Chancery, where her Royal Highness is a plaintiff, and the Earl of LIVER POOL and Count MUNSTER defendants. It is said that, in consequence of some doubts which have been entertained respecting the validity of a certain in strument on which the issue of that suit depends, the presence of her Royal Highness is indispensably ne cessary to remove the same ; and that without such a proceeding she will not be able to recover the pro perty she sues for. Since the Duke of DEvowstrtnes'arrivgl in town he has given a Grand Dinner to Lord and Lady MOR milt, Lord and Lady GitnnviLLE, Mr. CHARLES Cnvenoim, Earl and Countess of BESEOROUOII; Cap tain CLIYFORD, Mr. and Lady CATHERINE CAVEN- D(SH. Yesterday the Duke visited Chiswick, and in spected the improvements made during his absence. A vast number of statues, vases, and oilier antiques, have been sent to Chatsworth, in Derbyshire, to which place his Grace proceeds in a few dap. THE ARMY. BREVET PROMOTION.
