ZXTRACTS FROM TUE D 1 Lir 'MORNING PAPERS, February 13, 1823. ~"~" ~ [MORNING curtosiciAe.l We are assured that the last Prussian Loan in this coontry was for the behnof of Russia, it otther not having been der; ed advisable from political motives that the latter should- appear to want so large a suit► in addition to the loan in her own name, or it having been apprehended that it would exceed the measure of Russian credit.— It is repotted also (hut. we own we can' hardly behave that the insolence of the Powers of the Continent would`go so car), that our Cabinet has been given to understand by the Allied Powers that it must choose between them and.the Spa niards, as oar neutrality would be more injurious to them than our hostility. The speeches in the House of Commons lust night, on the motfon for the revival of the Com mittee on the means of maintaining and improving the Foreign Trade of the Country, will be read with mock interest and satisfaction. Mr. Wal lace, whose services to the public all seemed as eager to acknowledge, as they were to regret his retirement, gave a view of our commercial situa tion, of a very consolatory nature. With the exceptiuu of agriculture, every other branch of i►n!ustry, he said, was flourishing ; and while, from 1815 to 1819, the general export trade of the country had decreased fotrrteen millions (official value), the exports last year surpassed very conAilerably the lust years of the %var., which were considered the period of our greatest commerci4;l prosperity.—(lbid.) [Tii v. Trams.] We have received French Papers of Monday last : they contain, as might' be exPected, an object of no slight , importance at this critkal period—namely, the Address of the Chamber of Deputies, in answer to the King's Speech. We observed, that the reply of the Peers on the same occasion contained 00 repetition of the detestable sentiment, that the Spaniards could only receive and hold their liberties from the hands and at the will of King Ferdinand. This deficiency, how ever, is amply supplied by the Deputies ; and the more democratic part of the Constitution is made to avow a principle, which, if it hrid had any real existence, they themselves who acknow- Jedge it could have had none, and consequently, would not then hove been assembled in their nail, to betray, as it appears, the principle by which they sit, to represent a free people. The Spaniards are spoken of as aiding France in breaking her chains ; and rhea they are described as incompet , nt to receive institutions conform " able to their wishes and their manners, except " from their legitimate Sovereign!" The people, therefore, may overthrow one absolute Monarch, provided only he be an illegitimate one ; but this being done, they cannot make !awl for them selves, to controut another absolute ruler : those they must take at the hands of him who is to be commuted!

A pply ing the safe test of experience to these zealous champions of freedom, let us ask if they are the men whom disastrous warfare will not tempt to despair' of their country ? Further, and above all things, let us ascertain before we listen to any suggestions from them, that they aye men in capable or employing any of die vicissitudes or contingencies of war to spread t.osi.o.n_ency and discontent (1)1.01100UL the WO, ,n 1 Order to ad vance anf object of party interest ur party ambition.

The address is a servile echo of the Royal Speech, by which the assembled Deputies pledge France to war and massacre against free and unoffending Spain, and themselves to the support of whatever measures may be adopted to desolate that country with faction and drench its soil with blood. The review of troops—royal guards and others—continues be fore the heroic Angouleme and those august Princes and Princesses whose names are insepa rably connected with so much of the glory of France for the last five-and-twenty years. The Eagles of Napoleon were formerly the ominous heralds of slaughter, but now the unsullied Lily is to be dashed with blood and to point the road to mas sacre and carnage. The Deputies talk of the naval forces of his Most Christian Majesty,which have so often afforded a timely aid'to humanity : Do they mean that humanity which has prolonged the execrable slave trade—that has dealt in the blood and tears of thousands, and of which a French' marine has been on the coast of Africa, the principal and revolting support? The pious solicitude of the Monarch is also praised, which raises temples from their ruins and is as piously about to carry massacre among. an unoffending people, and to raise trophies of legitimacy arid religion, amid the sack of cities, the cries of ma trons, and the murder of men, women and chil dren, by the bayonets of a ferocious soldiery. It appears that there had been some decline in the French funds from Saturday ; they opened on Monday at 7tif. 50c. ; the highest during the day was 77f. SOc.; and closed at 771. 75c. A loan of four millions of renter was to be brought forward, and a new levy of men added to aid the holy crusade of the descendant of St Louis across the Pyrenees. The Count de Lagarde, the French AmbassadoratMad rid,had arrived quietly in Paris; and the delegate of the Pruissian Monarch had also reached Bayonne, with no further accident than an unfounded alarm of assassination by the Descamisados. [3IIOIINING ftuttAt.p.] We yesterday received from Paris a more ample report than any that has yet appeared of the diseussion in the secret Sitting of the',Cham= ber of Deputies on the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne. We can afford space onlY for a few pointed passages, which - have scarcely been noticed by the French Papers.— MM. de . la. Bourdonnaye and Delatot violently attacked MM. tie Villele , Carbiere, and Cler mont Tonnerre, but passed with studied in. dulgence over M. do Chateaubriand, who, though brought into the Ministry by M. de vii- lele, has deserted him for the War Party, of AVIliCh 'he is now one of the most furious partisani —so far as even strenuously to oppose in the Council of State the acceptance of the mediation of England between France and Spain. Mons. Florian Kergolaye, after treating the right of in tervention in the affairs of Spain, passed on to the question of war. With reference to the concur rence of foreign Powers with France, he declared that he, for his part, saw nothing alarming in the traversing, or even the occupation, of the French territory by the Russians and the Prussians.— (At these words cries of indignation were raised by the whole Opposition, while the Right. Ride applauded the orator, and the troop of Public Functionaries in the pay of the Ministry presarved a sombrous silence). M. Kergolaye, resuming had the singular simplicity to say that the three Powers of the North interfered in the affairs of Poland, which,' it is true, had disappeared, but that, since that time, these three Powers were become more generous. PROfil'Cia - ai, - 3T)UICN'ALS. ('Front the Bury Casette of Feb. 12.) The eager expectation, the intense interest, whichthe King's speech had excited previous to its publica tion, has been amply repaid 'by the importance of its contents. The honourable line Of pnlicy resolved on by government, in reg,ird to the approaching contest between France and Spain, has extorted approbation from the most violent opponents of admi. nistration ; whilst the xeneml views of domestic policy promise the most ,beneficial results. We regret, indeed, that the agri. cultural embarrassments are not made a more prominent part of the promised amelioretions,. because we arc aTired, that the welfare of .the landed interest Is the welfare of every class of society; and` without some immediate, bold, and vi. gorous measure, must fall into such a state . of decay„ as, no enactment of the legishoure can repair. We would rather see the prosperity of agriculture a part of the general presPerity, and keeping pace with 'it, without 'exclusive exemption or protection ; hat, if exemption or pritection he necessary for the farmer, to enable, him to live, for the sake of the nation, he must have it, or his land will be untillad, and the nation ;nest starve. One remedy to the evils which press upon agriculture presents itself, abolish parochial distinctions, in regard to the poor, and let all contribute equally o their .support ; instead of being serfs of the soil, let them ha the poor of the realm, fed ; by all, acknowledged by all, and the burthen of their wants Will then herdly be felt by any. Deetnir!g the die• tress of agriculture to be a theme of paramount importance, we feel elecere - concern, that it sloes not appear to occupy alarger portion, of the attention of 114nisters, than his jesty's speech .seams to imply ; but we would not have our agricultural : friend* imagine, thet e becatuie their calamities are not paraded before the eyes of all Europe, ibr all Europe reads the King of England's speech, that, therefore their wants ere disregarded; or, that men in ,power are , insensible to the painful situation in which ' literate placed, We trust it is otherwise, and, we do look forward to the period, we liepe it Is very near, - felien farming shall be a profitable, as well as 'an honourable and useful 'employment. Whilst we regard the state of agricultore with sorrow, though nqt dismay; we feel satisfaction,, in finding 'cause to congratulate ihe cotintty upon filo prosperity of the tnanufacturing'and commercial interests ;' in:these Mete is nothing to be band hut activity anti success, "Tice state of the revenite, too, is hiqhly gretifYing, as it afflrbi prodf the InesCithpie, that, slim' much partill distress and focal . calamity are known to tikisq - yet, the country , generally, pros perou.i. ; bat still more satisfextery, in that it will eualke Ni riistera to relieve those who need relief, from a portion of tlw national hurthens.

Shall we be thought insensible to our country's honour and blind to the merits of those who govern, if we say that we are, very far from feeling convinced that there is so much cause for triumph and 'exultation, as certain partizans pretend ? We own that we consider the conduct of our government, as a thing of course they could not, never did, act otherwise than as they are now acting in regard to Spain. They leagued with the oppressed to 'conquer the tyrant who directed the force of France to exterminate every independent State in 'Europe, and they break that league because the op. pressed are in turn becoming the oppressors. No man would wonder that Britain refuses to aid in enslaving a nation which she so lately fought to enfranchise; but, that the internal ene mies Of England have been labouring to make the world be lieve that our alliance with other States was a bond for the de. struction of liberty, and not for the security of peace. The arms of this country, the nursing lap of liberty, the chosen home of freedom, may be turned against tyranny, whether that ty ranny be in the prince, or people ; may be employed' to stop the bloody' career of a crowned despot, or check the murderous march of a tyrant traitor ; but against freedom, Britain can never arm. She may not at all times be able to fight the battles of those who deserve freedom, but she can.always abstain from endeavouring to oppress them. This, her natural policy, has ever been the rule of her alliances The liberty of mankind has been her leading star, and must continue so, for the people of England are a free people, and the voice of the people is the strength of the state. But the voice of the people Is not to be heard at mob conventions and radical rows—the voice of the people is not loud, but deep—and the voice of the people, the fact is certain, is with the King, the Church, and the Laws. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF SHANCERY, WEDNESDAY, FED. 12. GOVERNMENT OF PERU. Mr. HEALD moved that the appearance which had been,, entered . last Saturd a y, by a S o li c i tor u f t h e C ourt , on h a lal ' of the Ministers Plenipotentiary of the Government of Peru , might be set aside, the same haying been entered into inad vertently, without the regular authonty of those Ministers Ple nilmtentlarY• This he moved on the affidavit of Mr. Coles who is a partner in the house of Aniory and Coles, in the city of London, solicitors of eminence, which 'stated that the de ponent being in court on Saturday, when his Lordship granted an inj unct i on on an ex-parte applicat i on against the I defendant, together with certain merchants of the city of Lon don, who were regular clients of the deponent and his partner, he went and entered an appearance for them all, imagining that the Ministers Plenipotentiary of the Government of Peru would appear together with his regular clients ; but it now turned out that, as t h ese Ministers Plenipotentiary were acting. in their public capacity, they could not sanction any thing that was not in strict conformity to the most rigid tiractice, because they would have to justify themselves to their Government at home, upon the most punctilious forms. The Loan Cridixcut.t.mt.—Vou must, at all events, alter your affidavit, Mr. Heald, because I cannot sit to hear it stated here, that an application Is made on behalf of the Ministers of the Government of Peru. I know of no Government, until the Government of this country acknowledges it as such. Mr. HEALD said, that the affidavit should be altered accord ing to his Lordship's suggestion ; a nd, t h at d one; he hoped he might be allowed to move it again ; to which the Lord Chan cellor assented. COURT OF KING'S BENCH', FEB. 12. RULE OF COURT. The fello4;lng new , rule of Court was read by the officer "That no person shall be appointed a Commissioner to take affidavits in th© Court who practices as a conveyancer, unless and that no appointment shall in future I t l t:it b e e aplttire an attorney; witltotttaaffitiavit that the party not as a conveyancer, or if he it a conveyance r , th at h e is al s o an attorney, and has taken out hi s certificate for the current year. " GAMBLING. practising THE KIM; V. ROGIER3 AND OTHERS. The defendants, Charley Edward Rogiers, Richard Bennett, Humphreys, Thomas Carlos, and Frederick Oldfield, were brou g ht up to receive the judgment of the Court, having been convicted, on the prosecution ofd Mr. John Woodroffe, Stu dent of the Inner TeMple, Of keeping common gaming-houses in Pall-mall and St. James`s-street. The case of Rogiers and Humphrey was heard yesterday.— Affidavits were ruitalmt in on behalf of the other defendants in mitigation of punishment, urging that each had a large family, and were in an infirm state of health. Alr. Cu nwooD and Air. E. LAWES addressed the Court in mitigation of punishment; and AIL C. Put ',Lin, With tonal. derable effect, in agjgrevation. The COURT deliberated upon the case of each defendant for a considerable time, and Mr. Justice BAYLEY then Proceeded to pass sentence. His Lordship commented upon the tendency of the offence of which tbe'defendants had been convicted. The Court, under all the circumstances of the cue, sentenced the defendants as follows; ltogiers to pay n fine to the King of NOM, and to be imprison. ed In Cold Bath-fields House of Correction for twelve months; Ilutnpliry to pay a fine of 2001., and to be imprisoned in the same place for two years; Oldfieid to pay a fine of 10001„ and be imprisoned in the King's Bench Prison ; Bennett to pay fine of 10001., and to n be imprisoned in the same plaee ; and Carlos to pay a fine of Wt., and to be imprisoned in Cold math. fields for eighteen calendar months. After the sentence was pronounced, the Learned Judge observed, that the Court had not made hard labour a part of the putlisitu?ets to which the defendants were liable under the late Act of robunent, ipas. much as the offence hid been committed before the Act bad pass. the Royal assent. Thi Act was to take effect front the 22d of A ugust last, and though the conviction was subsequent to that date, yet, as the offence was .prior, the Court was not disposed to enforce the powers given by the Legislature ; but the Court wisited it to ,be publicy known, that offenders of this descrip den were liable to the punishment of hard labour, which in fit and proper cases would most certainly be enforced. The defendants bowed, and were removd to prison. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Frß. 12. ifoLnnia v. ii' PLIC AND OTHERS. This was an actignof trespass brought against the defendants in their characters of CoMmissioners of Bankrupts for having committed to prison th e plai n tiff, because, 'under the commis sion, be had refused to answer questions to their satisfaction.

' ON ACARTULTURAL DISTRESS. LETTER HI. " Produce more grievous complaints " For plenty than before for wants, " And make a ticit and fruitful year, " A greater grievance than a dear ;" BUTLERS Satires. TO C. C. WESTERN, ESQ. M.P. Sitt—ln a former Letter on the Agricultural Distress of the country, in order to suit the pre vailing habits of newspaper discussions, I com pressed the very extensive objects I had to offer . to your notice so much, th a t some observations of considerable importance we re necessar ily omit ted I will, therefore, now take the liberty to request your indulgence whilst I enlarge on those subjects, which in my rapid flight I then offered to your notice. When the advocates for the redress of 44 agri cultural grievances" and the relief of their dis tresses unite the cause of landlord and tenant in the same petition of complaint, they confound two interests, which are in all essential points direct ly opposite to each other. The apparently liberal maxim of " live and let live," has, in my opinion, no foundation to stand upon. If applicable with few exceptions, to the general communion be tween landlord and tenant in former times, it can have no affinity at present. The truth is, that the parties now on both sides, by means of their agents, for they are seldom personally known to each other, make the best bargain they severally can ; but this difference is observable between them,—the farmer must necessarily have the first pickings out of the profits ; and the landlord, as a general maxim, must suspend his claim until his tenant has received that portion which will induce him to . proceed in his business. Even if the tenant has made a bad bargain in his lease, and the landlord refuses to relieve him, the te nant may be ruined, but what does the landlord gain ?—will the next tenant make it better for the landlord I—will not such conduct in the land lord consequently rather force him down .a step lower than his neighbours who'act more libe rally I—is there one landlord in the Kingdom who is not, if the times require reduction, sub ject to this state of things ;—yes--speaking of an extreme case, evert to the state of no rent whatever. I therefore, Sir, assert without fear of refuta tion, that the landlord and tenant have separate interests; and that be the prices of agricultural `produce what they may, the tenant must, in pre ference to his landlord, have profit nough from the land he cultliates, to pay his expellees ; and also a sufficiency, of interest on the amount of his capital which Shall induce him to cnitivate his farm properly. When the landlords therefore complain of agricultural distress, they in fact, do no more than represent what we all natu rally expect, that they sustain a reduction of in• come to which they are unwilling to submit; but which •from the monstrous advance of rents during the last 10 years they now can very well afford; and which is nothing more than is en dured in a greater or a less degree by almost every individual in the kingdom.
