r 4 PIRIT OP THE LONDON JOURNALS. The louse of Lords was more than usually .'rowded last night, in the understanding that the Duke of Clarence vas to deliver his sentiments en the subject which now engrosses the P.tttntion of the country. A report had been for some days in circulation that his Royal Highness Wit I; adverse to concession; and this report caused as much regret to the well disposrd as the report that the Duke of nberland had thrown the weight of his reputation int- the scale of liberality. The puke of Clarence put Pn end last night to alt uncertainty with respect to his Sentiments respecting concession, and also respecting the conduct of the Opposition. " I rise, my Lords," said his Royal Highness, " Ir?ratsr it has beets remarked there is among his Majesty's Minis ters now ilk union of sentiment on this subject. I wish, vny torrils, that the Ministers had been so united in 1826 ; but the persons who were then his Majesty's Atititotrs were not unite!i, and we have gone on to the t' went time. It they bad Jaen united in 1804, it would have been a great advantage to both Englatri. and Ireland. From that pecied, my Lords, my opinion has been invariably favour able to what is falsely called Catholic concession , —llear, hear)—which is not concession to the Catholics, but rather an Act for altering their prr.sttlt state of degrada tivn—and nothing else. When the great measure shall came before your Lordships, I pledge myself to prove that it is net concession to the Catholics, but a removal of de- gradation. nnti the.. surest means of cordially uniting toge ther vignt millions of people.—(Cheers.)—Nory that I am on my less I shall say, that in reserving for myself to state any opinions more tit length hereafter on this question, I shall give that support to his Majesty's Ministers which they deserve from every man against so unjustifiable, if I m f r not say so infamous an attack." The Duke of Cumberland seems to have consi dered himself more particularly bound to notice the word infamous, for he deviated that " he felt it to he his imperious duty to express his opinion de cidedly upon this subject, and he hoped, therefore, that his Noble - Relation (the Duke of Clarence) would not take it unkind in him, when he endea voured to give utterance to the 4*tonishment he tell when he heard foetidly! motives imputed by 'hat Noble Person to those who were hostile to the Catholics, and his still greater astonishment at the =fair attack raade upon him pers4enally, and upon others, by the applicaiekn tit the term infamous to their opposition." 'roe Duke of Sussex very justly observed in . answer, that " if his Noble Re lative applied these words of cond - 2mnation to his own conduct, that was his own taste; all he (the Duke 01 Sussex) could say, in justice to his Noble Brother, was, that he did not mean any personal offence to his Noble Relative. When, however, a Message came from the Crown, recommending to Parliament the consideration of the question of Catholic Disabilities, in a constitutional way, and in such a manner as may be found consonant with the safety and security of the Protestant Chureh, and the rights and liberties of the people, it certainly was not at all extraordi nary his Noble Brother should express his sur prise at the course pursued by many Noble Lords, in their opposition to his Majesty's declared wishes and intentions, and that he should characterise that conduct as base and infamous," The Duke of Cla rence observed, in explanation, that his " Illustrious Relative had spent so touch of his life abroad, that he had quite forgotten what was due to the free dom of debate in this country —(Hear, hear, hear.)" When strong language is employed to characterize ordinary matters, the impression is the very opposite to that sought to be produced. But there are oc casions when the language employed cannot be too strong. To endeavour to prevent the tranquilliza tionof a l!terr,e portion of the Empire, by the perpe tuation If disabilities, painful], because degrading, to one-third of the inhabitants of the United King dom, for which no intelligible ground can be urged, tonnected with the security of the remainder, and to appeal for the furtherance of that object to the ignorance and prejudices of the lowest rabble, is a course of conduct of which no good men can ap prove. The Government, in not bringing forward this question before, and those who oppose the Government, now that the question is brought forward, are by no means in the same predica meet. A Government may, even when convinced that a course is advisable, pause before entering on it, from the dread of the power of faction, arming itself with the ignorance and prejudices of the mul titude; but the faction is not in itself justifiable, because its anticipated efforts might serve in some sort to justify a Government. A Legislator will always count on crime ; an Administration in criti cal conjunctures on faction ; but crime and faction, though always to be counted on, are always to be condemned. However, the Administration having determined at length to attempt the pacification of the empire, what can we say of the opposition which has been so prematurely and so violently dis played, but that it is factious ? What can it be called but infamous—if the object be bad, and sought after by bad means ? If we can suppose that the opponents of Government are not them selves aware of the consequences of their conduct, then we might find in their want of understanding the only justification which can be offered for them; but this defence they will not thank us for.— Morning Chronicle. The sooner that the great measure shall be for mally introduced into Parliament the better, were it only to give the other, though inferior, interests of the nation a decent chance of receiving some at tention from the Legislature ; and to save the lives of a few dozens of unhappy Brunswickers, whose fever, if left much longer to prey upun them, will infallibly he their death. That the question, though not formally, is in substance carried, all the rational part of society has long been convinced. On this point the most ardent Catholics, and the most sober minded Protestants, are of the same opinion. So far, therefore, as the " Titus Oates" gentry are con cerned, it is pure humanity which leads us to wish that the question may settle down from one of eager discussion into a subject of historical recollection, and that the poor creatures who run about in quest or " No Popery" meetings, may also " settle . down" from raging maniacs into common-place and insigni ficant fools. Why is it that, notwithstanding all the brag and sputter of " No Popery," the convic tion has within these fourteen days changed into an intuitive and deep-rooted consciousness, that the ful ness of times has come—that the event is ac- complished and irrevocable ? Simply because things are what they now appear—because the strength of the King's Government, and the real disposition of those classes in which resides all real power, are de veloped and are not to be resisted—because the late arrogance, the threats and outrageous fury of the Orangemen, were supported by no real strength or principle of animation,—because the bones of the faction are marrowless, and the sounds now heard are but feeble echoes departing through its roofless and hollow tomb. It is grateful to the enlightened portion of society, and must be a source of inexpressible satisfaction to his Majesty and his faithful advisers, that while the opulent, populous, industrious, improved, and mighty towns of the north of England have declared themselves, when ever the occasion offered, in terms of strong encou ragement to the policy adopted by the Crown, it proves almost impossible to get up in any quarter, and by fair means, even the semblance of an anti- Catholic meeting. A laughable instance occurred yesterday in a metropolitan parish,—that of St. Stephen, Coleman-street,—where the notable expe dient had been tried of summoning a certain quota of parishioners, to be determined, not by the situa tion of their dwellings, or their amount of property, or contributions to the parish rates, or other tan gible description as inhabitants, but by that very clear, customary, and legitimate criterion, their sen timents on one political subject ! Yes, the pa rishioners of St. Stephen were called together by public summons, to assemble in the vestry-room of the parish, and from that common seat of public business were to be excluded all such of the pa rishioners, should they amount to nineteen-twen tieths of the whole parish, who had not graduated in the school of Titus Oates, and been admit ted Bachelors of No-Popery•. This, however, would not (16. I'tr. Freeman declared indignantly against so absurd and insupportable an abuse of the parish summons: he moved an adjournment of the I*l eeti hat is, a defeat of the trick. His motion was seconded, and though the intolerants had had full time to concoct their scheme, ah:l the liberal party had not been eppriied of the nature of it, Mr. Freeman').; Motion teas carried by a majority of to IJ. We now turn to scenes more distant, and to equally edifying results. Lord Chandos— who aims, we suppose, at establishing for himself a sort of fame rather different from that long enjoyed by the living patriarch of his family the enlightened Lord Grenville- , --has Made two attempts in Bucking hamshire to etasperate that class of minds which he was more competent to inflame than to instruct, and to bring their satellite fury as evidence of the state of public " .Ipiiiion" (opinion !) against the Ca thoncs. En one of these instances, the Noble Lord having given a public no-Popery breakfast, rode into the town of Buckinghatcorted by hundreds of his ovvutenartr:, , , and occupied the Town-hall in such fern als bade defiance to all attack by mere numbers. After some twaddle fi om three or four intermediate speakers, Lord Nugent rose, and delivered a manly and admirable speech in reprobation cf the means by which these meetings had betagOt up, and of the evils of which they it'ere calculated to be pro ductive. H Lordship, in reply to one assertion of Lord Chandos, imputing certain expressions to his late Majesty, descriptive of his extreme repugnance to a law for relieving the Catholics, dedared on his honour that those seoids had never been voken! The repot has always been, that George 111. had tota Lord Grenville that he could " lay his head on the block, but had not courage to break his oath," and this in reference to emancipation. To this tale, and evidently on the authority of Lord Grenville himself, Lord Nugent has now given a flat cnntradletion, verified by his word of honour. The public may form some idea of the dexterity and diligence with which the Buckingham meeting was packed, and of the sort of intelligence which prevailed there, when we state that Lord Nugent was the single individual sufficiently independent of Lord Chandos to hold a hand up against the resc•lu tions. The second exploit of the r oble Marquis was at Aylesbury, where, with views no doubt most kind _and amicable towards his uncle, he worked hard for a public dinner, which was ordered for 100 persons : just 35 attended Is this enough of Lord Chandos and his doings?—Tinies. The plan said to be in contemplation, of pur- chasing an estate for Mr. O'Connell, is an admirable contrivance for disposing of the balance of the Ca. tholic Relit; while it holds out a tempting boon to future 'Agitators not to despair of a reward, providing they take care to sail star enough the wind, not to be cut off in their voyage. This termination, too, of this " unlawful impost," as the Duke of Wel lington has called it, will not, we should think, he lost upon posterity, or even upon the Irish people of the present day, when the subsiding of the present excitement leaves them time for reflection. Here has ber•n a taxation raised upon the whole Catholic community, under the shallow prete,lee of its being for the benefit of that community, to protect them from oppression, and such like ; nearly every farthing of which will have found its way into the pockets of those who suggested it. The silly sheep will find that they have been shorn indeed, and that the lawyers have taken the oyster, shell and all. If this be not so, let those who have held the purse-strings publish their accounts. If we are wrong, let us have the figures to refute us. Till that is done we shall continue to believe that the Rent has been, front the first—as it is now avowed to be at the last— an estate in fee. —Morning Herald. We hope that, in the din of political contention in both Houses of Parliament, the consideration of the domestic interests of the country will not be lost sight of, or postponed to so late a period in the Session as to make it impracticable to effect any good. Among other things the stale of the law requires the most earnest attention of the Legisla ture. That subject has been of late years pressed upon Parliament in a way that shows the absolute necessity of some practical reform. Last Session two commissions were appointed to inquire into the state of the law, and report thereon to the House of Commons, with a view to some measure for its improvement. To one of those commissions was intrusted the task of reviewing the laws relative to real property. The other was to inquire into the practice of the Courts, mid devise some method for the correction of the abuses of the present system of special pleading. It was stated, not long ago, that one or both of them would report early in the present Session. The earlier the better—some com mencement cannot be too soon made in so neces sary and beneficial a work as that of the reform of our legal system. The question of the laws of real property is, indeed, a difficult and complicated subject, and it will require sound judgment, as well as bold capacity, to reduce the chaos of prin ciples affecting the tenures and interests in land ed estates to .order and simplicity. But the subject of special pleading is one of more obvious inconvenience and of easier reformation. The ab surdities of this part of the administration of the law are so glaring, its repugnance to justice and common sense so plain to the most ordinary under standing, that it would be only wonderful how it could have maintained its ground so long, if we did not know that it is the interest of a larger class of persons to perpetuate this great reproach to our judi cial system, on account of the profits that are de rived from it. If the most subtle and crafty lawyers had conspired together to invent a jargon, which should be better calculated than any other, since the wra of the " confusion of tongues," to mystify the proceedings of Courts of Law, and render justice perplexed and uncertain, they could not have devised a more effectual one than that of special pleading. Its general tendency is to overload with the most profuse and cumbrous verbiage the plainest cases, and so to entangle every judicial proceeding in a web of forms, that it is impossible to infer from the merits of a case what the result will be, and thus the ends of justice are defeated, to support the "glorious certainty of the law."—lbid. It is stated in an Evening Paper, which has oc casionally displayed some knowledge of passing events, and sometimes perhaps pretended to more than it had any good ground for entertaining, that " the King, our true Protestant King, has declared within forty-eight hours, that he still entertains the sentiments which he avowed to Mr. Canning in the month of June, 1827, and that if his faithful people will rally round his throne, the slightest inroad shall not be permitted upon the Protestant Constitution of 1688." Now, we have no means of knowing whether his Majesty has or has not given utterance to such sentiments " within the last forty-eight hours ;" but we do know, what evfiy one must feel in perusing the paragraph in question, that if his Maje2ty did give utterance to such sentiments, they were uttered in the ear of pri vate confidence, and not intended for that of the public, and that he who communicated such in formation to the Paper in question has proved himself a greater traitor to his Majesty than if he had openly conspired against his crowu or life. But, to be brief on the subject, we do not believe that his Majesty ever gave utterance to such senti ments ; for, in the first place, our gracious Sovereign is not yet so woe-be-gone with years as to entrust such a declaration as that which we have reported, to those who would have made it known contrary to his will—in the second, he deliberately, and after much reflection, affixed his seal to the solemn recommendation to the Legislature to Emancipate his Roman Catholic subjects ; and in the third and last, it is not characteristic of the illustrious line of ancestors from whom he is descended, to give utterance to any sentiments but those which they actually entertain. These are our reasons for disbelieving entirely the exclusive information of our Evening contemporary; and were more . required, some of a still graver nature might readily be ad duced. I n what relation to his subjects, in fact, would such a declaration in private, with a counter declaration staring it in the face in public, - place the first Magistrate of the kingdom ? Would the pic ture of such inconsistency gratify those who would still have it that his Majesty is adverse to the Catholic claims; or would it at all exalt his Majesty, either in the estimation of his subjects, or of foreign powers. And what also, let us ask, would be the situation of the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Peel, and the rest of the Cabinet, were it to be proved that they had either extorted, by force or intrigue, a declara tion from his Majesty to which he was repugnant, or imposed on the Legislature a, the sentiments of the King, opinions which lie did not entertain. — We leave our readers to judge both of the mea sure of perfidy of which the latter must have been guilty in such a case, and of its consequences to them both severally and individually. For our own - part, though we have deemed it necessary to say thin mita, perhaps unnecessarily, in defence of his Majesty, arid his Majesty's Ministers, we consider the assertion as a pure day-dream of some hot ' headed Anti-Catholic, who, like a drowning man, would catch at a straw, to support himself in his last extremity. His Majesty is still in possession of sufficient vigour of mind to give the lie to any such imputation on the exercise of his undoubted prero gative ; and we have too much faith in his Majesty's Ministers to suppose for a moment that they would have taken such a decisive step as the proposal to admit our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, to a par ticipation in the rights and privileges of British sub jects, without not only maturely weighing the con sequences of the measure, but obtaining the full and deli!ierate approbation of his Majesty.—Morning Advertiser. THE LATE EARL OF BRIDGEWATER. The two most remarkable events of the last few days here have been the death of the Hon. and Rev. Francis Egerton, Earl of Bridgewater, and the re presentation for the benefit of M. Laurent, director of the Italian Opera. His Lordship's demise, with out inspiring much regret, has caused considerable disappointment to a number of persons, who, from their long and assiduous services, (and, from his Lordship's bodily infirmities, caprices, and over weening vanity and pride, these must have been hard services indeed), expected a substantial and generous mention in his will. Such, however, has not been the case. Of many of these persons he has made no mention at all; and even those who have been remembered have but small cause to bless kis Lordship's memory. One instance will suffice as a measure for the rest. A faithful servant, who had been attached to him for four-and-twenty or thirty years, has been left the magnificent bequest of 1,000 francs (401.), not a year, but, as the French say, une fois pa c. Even his Lordship's favourite dogs, of which there were a great number, and which were, during his lifetime, cherished like lordlings, being fed with the most delicate morsels from their master's table, and often from his own hand, were allowed to dream away their luxurious existence upon velvet carpets and tapestried sofas and chairs, and went out to take the air in his Lordship's coach, with a plumed, belted, and gold-embroidered chas seur behind, have not been left even the fee simple of a franc to keep them in bread and water. A very large portion (it is said 150,0001.) of his Lordship's disposable property has been left to the British Mu seum, for a comparatively futile and useless purpose, viz. the formation and conservation of a collection of autographs, amongst which his own signs-manual and manuscripts would, of course, occupy the first and foremost rank—for the deceased seemed to have formed a most exaggerated idea of his own im portance, either as a benefactor or ornament to so ciety, or was actuated by a most inordinate passion for posthumous fame, to attempt to secure which he has been at no little pains and expense. In order that some remotely future age should at least have a chance of knowing that a man called Francis Earl of Egerton existed in the nineteenth century, he caused an immense number of medals, with his bust on one side, and his name, title, &c. on the other, to be en closed in thick glass or cbrystal, and hermetically scaled. Numbers of these were sent to England, America, various parts of the Continent, &e., to be deposited in foundations of public buildings, under the piers of bridges, and thrown into fountains, lakes, and rivers. One of the last drives he took in and about Paris was for the purpose of flinging, or rather of having flung, in his presence, a number of_ these enshrined medals into various parts of the Seine Alas 1 poor human nature !—Morning Paper. The exterior of Whitehall Chapel is under going repair, parts of the stone-work having become con siderably defaced. Divine service, however, continues to be performed in the interior. BUONAPARTE.—The Emperor, in conversa tion at St. Helena, said, " When I landed at Cannes all the Parisian Journals announced the event in an article commencing with ' Rebellion of Buonaparte;' five days after they began with General Buonaparte is at Gre noble ;' eleven days later, ' Napoleon has made his entry into Lyons ;' and, in twenty days more, ' The Emperor is arrived at the Tuileries,'"—After his return to Paris in 1813, Napoleon reviewea his troops two days following in the Place de Carousal. He recognised amongst the spec tators Mademoiselle Mars, who had pressed forward nearly to the ranks in order to be able better to observe the scene before her. Napoleon, coming up to her, said " What brings you here, Mademoiselle Mars ; this is not a place suitable for you." " Sire," answered the witty actress, " I am tired of seeing the mock heroes of the stage ; I am here to contemplate a real one."—Furet de Londres. AGGRAVATED RAPE.-On Sunday evening last, a most brutal attack was made upon the servant girl of Mr. Atkinson, of Hay Close, in Hutton. She had been on a visit to Kendal, and was returning home, when she was accosted on the road by a wretch, saying, be wished to see her home. She said she declined his company, and quickened her steps ; when he immediately threw her down, and holding a knife to her bosom, threatened her life if she resisted his hellish purpose. She called out for assistance, and made all the possible - resistance she was able, when other two of the villain's companions came up, and held her down by turns till the brutal deed was accom plished by the whole three. The names of the villains are Fisher, Jennings, and Shepherd, three well-known despe rate characters, the two former of whom were apprehend ed, and underwent an examination on Tuesday ; Shepherd has made his escape, but the hands of justice will soon overtake him.— Westmoreland Advertiser. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Prom the Gazette de France, dated Feb. 22.) PARIS, FEB. 2l.—The Ministerial Journal con- I tains the following article :-- " A Journal has stated that Count Pozzo di Borgo had notified to the French Cabinet the intention of his Government to continue the war against the Porte ; that this was the object of the audience which his Excellency had obtained of his Majesty; lastly, that Count Portalis had made communica tions to the Russian Ambassador, after which naval preparations had been ordered at Toulon. " We are authorised formally to contradict all these assertions, there is not a shadow of truth in any one of them." FRONTIERS OP SERVIA, FEB. I.—lt is asserted at Belgrade, that the Divan has formally accepted the Declaration of the Three Powers, and delivered to M. Jaubert an official document relative to this re ' solution.* On the other hand, it is said that the proposals of Russia for an e xchange of prisoners, which at first appeared to have been favourably lis tened to by the Porte, have been since rejected for reasons which are not known. if the first of these reports should be confirmed, the pacific relations between France and England on the one hand, and the Porte on the other, may be considered as restored. Letters from Constantinople say, that Husseim Pacha has received orders to repair to the camp of the Sultan, to take part in the deliberations respect ing the operations of the approaching campaign : at all events, it seems that thei Turks will persist in the system of defence which they have adopted, and without otherwise concerning themselves about the occupation of the Principalities by the Russians, confine themselves to the defensive, and to the sup port of the fortresses, when the Russians should re-- cross the Danube ; that they will afterwards pro claim a general arming of the people, in its fullest extent, as soon as the enemy's columns advance across the Balkan ; and, lastly, in a general battle in the plains of Adrianople, decide the fate of the Empire. The enthusiasm of the Mussulinen is still the same ; they are impatient for the return of fine wea ther to recommence the campaign. It appears that notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather for this last fortnight, skirmishes take place every day with alternate success, on the bank of the Danube, between the Turkish garrison and the Russians.— We know hardly any thing of Bosnia; tranquillity appears to be completely restored there. The same tranquillity prevails in Servia ; and the most oppo site sentiments seem to be kept in check by fear. (From the Journal des Debats of Saturday.) PARIS, FEB. 21.—Let us hope that this state of tranquillity and happiness will not be lost, either on the temporal heirs of Leo XII. or his successor, and that the influences which have survived the vene rable Pontiff, will continue his reign, during the short vacancy of the Holy See (the last conclave only lasted twenty-five days) ► then it will be defi nitively filed. This, then, is the danger ; and it is the greater, as it threatens the tranquillity of Europe and the independence of Italy, that intrigue should taise to the Papal Throne, a man exclusively devoted to the House of Austria. What an increase would that give to the deplorable influence of M. Metternich, in a country the finest provinces of which are already delivered to the Austrian domination--a Pope who would be one instrument more of the meditated en ' slaving of Italy ! At the voice from the Cabinet of Vienna we should again see those disturbing doc trines and those turbulent men, whom the wisdom of Leo XII. and the rare skill of his Minister had at least restrained within certain bounds. It would be a strange misunderstanding to suppose that Aus- • tria, in wishing to have a Pope of its own, de sires to have a moderate Pope, best suited to the interests of all Powers. On this point, the interest of Austria is separated from that of all other Catholic States. It has so prepared its measures as to pro tect itself from the usurpations of the Court of Rome, but at the same time direct the threatening action of the service of the Church' against other Governments. The Court of Vienna has the wise policy of appointing no Bishop, without requiring from the newly-elected person that he will not eom municate with the Court of Rome, and thus it protects itself from the power of the Church. It would be rash to hazard any conjectures as to the event of the conclave. 'Who will he Pope ? We know not ; but of all those who aspire to the Papacy, it would be difficult to say who will be Pope ; but of this we are quite sure, that one is re quired who still continue the system of peace, jus tice, and charity, so happily pursued during the short period of his pontificate.
