THE LONDON JOURNALS. VXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERSi April 4, 189.3. [TIIE TIMES.] French papers in their due course f up to Wed nesday, are arrived; and their contents are, like those by which they were preceded . , totally silent respecting the commencement of the war. When will these Bourbons commence the work of mis chief ? the world will. begin to asky with some impatience. The speech of M. de !Allot:Mon naye will be read with some interest. The sub ject which called him forth was the finance law of the year, and his first assertion was—(lle is a 'war-bigot and an Ultra) , —that a budget present: ell in time of war was not sufficient for a pence establishment ;• This, if it be a fact,- or any thing like a fact, is a curious one. The Bourbons and their Ministers, we suppose, means the Spaniards to feed the war which preys upon their vitals. Who - would not support Roy= alty at such a rate ? M. de Labourdonnaye talks of the triumph of 'top:list' principles like a Frenchman—that is, like one who does not understand the subject. Surely all that can be wished in favour of Royalist prin ciples under a ConstitntiOnal Monarchy is their equiponderance with the other powers of the statev The triumph of any is fatal to the rest, and to liberty. When the orator talks of the King of Spain as dragged from dungeon to dungeon, he speaks the language of exaggeration. There were Spaniards, indeed, braver and better : , than fifty Perdinands, who had defended their country during his slavery in France, and who were on his return dragged from dungeon to dungeon — from Spanish dungeons to African dungeons.— There were. Spaniards,' whose sentences of ac quittal were altered into sentences of trans• venation and death. But that period, we hope, is passed,—it was a grievous one. M. de Labourdonnnye complains, that an army " full " of ardour," remeins inactive on the frontier, and asserts that it is subject to the usual evils of inactivity, and that it begins to want necessaries. Respecting the ardour, some proofs of a very equi vocal nature have appeared lately; but were it ever so ardent, a circumstance has occurred which may be allowed to make it pause. It bare longer journey to take than wait at first ima gined. A man may be prepared to go to York ; but finding suddenly that the person with whom he wished to speak is removed to Edinburgh, he is obliged to take more baggage, and loses at least a day mere in increasing his preparations. Ferdinand was at Madrid : he is now at Se ville. There was a clamour in the Chamber on M. de Labourdonuaye's assertion that the arm was in want, but the assertion was repeated.-M. de Villele followed. A t the beginning of his speech he confined himself to the dry question of finance : the end was more interesting. Re talked of France approachinK to the point at which she would he liberated from difficulty ; described that difficulty as springing out of an un certain but transient situation—that of menaced 'war; uncertainty being a state of all others most painful to Frenchrnen. All that s% can infer from this galimatias of words anti obscurity of sentiment.ls, that the war has up to this moment been uncertain, at least that the French have so esteemed it ; and that the uncertainty is now at the point of terminating : but which way the termination will be, the oracle saith not. [NEW T 1 Al 13.] Paris Papers' and letters of Tuesday evening Nye been received, as well as the rilote, bearing the, tlate of Wednesday morning, most re markable fact which they notice is a violent Opposition speech by M. do Lubourdotmaye, a royal It Member of the Chamber of Deputies, denouncing M. de Villele for want of due energy and decision in conducting the war against M. de. Labourdonnaye is a nobleman of distin guished loyaltb-one of the heroes of La Vend&, —the faithful—the glory of France ; but in thus promoting divisions among the friends of the mo narchy, he is unconsciously, but most power fully, promoting the cause of revolution. On the other hand, we grant that M. de Villele's error is an excessive caution ; but he is a man of unimpeachal4 integrity anti of unquestionable talent. It is no alight triumph to the itoyal cause to possess now, for the first time, such a union of qualities in a Prime Minister.---The French Royalists have nothing, to fear from the Revolutions either of their own country or of Spain, if they will but be united among them selves. Let them renounce their contemptible squabbles in Ow Chamber of Deputies, and turn all their attention to' the composition of their own civil and, military power, Let them remove every suspicious character from the army—let them replace in office every indi vidual that was turned out by De'cazet These two points tire indispensable to shew to Prance and to Europe that they are sincere, honest, and consistent. Generzl Guilleminot continues with tbe-Dulte d'Atigoulente as Chief of his stoff.-- This is another perplexing fact. •If it be true, us generally asserted, that this Officer is an avowed Liberal, and that be has surrounded himself with men of still more equivocal sett timents In politics, it does seem very strange that he, above all ethers ' , should be placed in so responsible a situation. Upon matters' of this kind we are weary of speculating.— tlie Allied Governments have in their turns' app'e•aretr to be possessed with an absolute mania for employing or countenancing the men of the ilevolution. Ney was a favourite of the Rm. peror or Russia : England successively patronized Poucbe, Talleyrand r and Decaze ; and to this hour the Chiefs of the Neapolitan and Piedmon tese Carbottari are flattered and caressed by many of our Nobility. These facts. will stnngely puzzle the political speculators of a future era. ' [MORNING cuttomet.,F.i The. conversation which lately took place , be tween Lord John Russell anti Mr. Canning in the Hem . of Conimons, has given rise to some curious 'specillations. hi, the Official Cazettes of the French and British Governments. The Journal des Debuts (M. de Villele''s Paper), an swers Lord J. Russell's question by stating, that "' the four Allied Sovereigns have declared ht the most formal manner their resolution to take requisite measures against any Revolution what soever which might menace the legitimate order established in France,- of which the dynasty of the Bourbons is the basis. . . . and that although neuter in respect to the Spanish revolution, England still continues a party to the defensive alliance against Revolu tionists in France." These phrases require some examination in order to arrive, not at their in tended, but at their trttc meaning. It may be true that England has entered into a defensive alliance against revolutionists in France ; but it does not follow that she has engaged to up. hold the Bourbon dynasty, or rather Louis the XVIII. and his immediate family. A case exactly explanatory of our meaning exists at this moment. Louis XVIII., and the Priests who sur round him, are at this very moment conspiring to revolutionize France. The bed-ridden King of France and his crazy relations are turning every stone to find the means of exciting the people of France to- substitute for a miserable and wicked Government a rule of wisdom and justice. It is against these people, then—against these stirrers up of rebellion, that England has entered into a defensive alliance. But her Allies : they have already violated the Treaty, and are urging on the incendiary Government of France to create a revolution. Revolutionists are those who cause revolutions. Is there a man of common sense in Europe who will say, that if a revolution should occur in France, it will not have been caused by Alexander and his creatures, the Pozzo faction at Paris ? Then England is pledged to oppose herself to these people. IVe can assure M. de Villele that this is the way in which the people of England will interpret the treaty into which it is said that England has entered. So much for the Journal des Mbats [BRITISH PRESS.] We have the Paris Papers to Wednesday morning, with the Evening Papers - of Tuesday ; they contain, in fact i nothing of importance.-- The remnant of the bands of the ferocious Trap pist, on the frontiers of Navarre, has been en tirely rooted and disperied. The French Ca binet is said to have received a letter in Ferdi nand, the King of . Spain's own hand-writing, and countersigned by our Ambassador, Sir W.A.'CoAtrt,• requesting the King of France, to suspend any hostile movement on Spain. Feeble us such an effort us this would be on. the part , of Eng land, and little as any thing coming from . Fer dinand would now be attended to by the party ruling in Vrancey yet .we should not he surprised if such a communication were gladly seized on as a pretext for withdrawing from a contest now . seen, by every well-informed officer in the French army,, to be ruinous. Report's prevailed at Boulogne, that the differences be. tween, both countries had been arranged, and that a telegraphic notice had been given to that effect. Mr. Sharp arrived in the express boat, is ith dispatches for our Foreign Minister ; and on stating the fact at the Custoin-house he was 14110 at Ance t and procectivd on to London with the greatest. rapidity. The French papers of the 31st March and Ist April, are almost wholly occupied with the debate on the Blidget. Their columns are filled with a loefg and vehement speech, by the ultra La Bourdonnaye for whose heated feelings of furious •Royalism, even the present insane preparations of the French Cabinet are too slow. La Boar donnaye remarked 64 on the tardy and indecisive policy of M. de Villele with regard to Spain, and on the failure of his promises when lie entered the Ministry, that Royalist principles should obtain a signal triumph." Infuriate as this speech is, , it yet discloses some 'truths'. It depicts the vacillating policy of the French Cabinet well, when it talks "of the ambulatory diplomacy placed in the rear of the army, to watch for a moment of weakness, and to seize a conciliation by sur prise."' M. de Villelo replied to this speaker,. huti'onfined himself almost whdlly to the de fence of the Budget on financial calcUlations. He closed by saying, " 1 ,limit myself to these ex planations, the only ones which would be worthy of you or of ourselves " (which was generally applauded).—Private letters from Bayonne of the `,26th March state, that the murderous Trappist was entirely defeated near 'run, and returned to Bayonile, followed 'only by one ser vant. The campaigns. of this enthusiast have been singularly successful. Questida, who passed the frontier (this letter says), baatilso beeftcorn pletely routed. Ballasteros had arrived at At.So btritinn on the '2oth: Every thing in Spain speaks determination and energy. Foreign invasion seems to' have united all parties,-Lit has been the grave of faction. The most prejudiced observer must now see, from the situation of that country, and 'the state of. the French army, that conquest is of t of the question, and that with modetate aid Spain can effectually defend her independence without any armed interference by this country. .The liberties of the greater part of Europe rest on her sword, and it is well that the struggle abides with this gallant and high-spirited people. In their hands- and keeping'the deposit is safe. [MORNING} POST.] A controversy has Arisen between the Frettch Ministerial Joutnal, the Journal des Debuts, and others, with respect to the obligation of England, in virtue of existing treaties, to.loin in protecting the Bourbon Government of France from the danger of revolution, if such protection should be come necessary. It is a somewhat ridiculous cumstance attending this controversy, that the claim to foreign protection shoeld be asserted by the organ of a Government, which at the present moment,not content with the tranquil and undis puted enjoyment of its domestic sway, is setting itself up as the censor and corrector of. neigh horning States, as the possessor or a certain infal lible standard of constitutional excellence, ax the owner and the forcible distributor of its own ex quisite notions of political perfection,—The as. iertion of the French Ministerial Journal that England has engaged to guarantee the Throne of France to the Bourbons, might be sufficiently answered by referring at once to the several treaties by which the European Powers have . re corded their engagements, and exposed them to the inspection of the world, and by requiring the passage . in any of those treaties to be pointed out which any degree of ingenuity can possibly pervert into such a stipulation. We have care fully perused the treaties, and have been unable to find a passage which admits of this construction. And as to any secret treaty, we have the ex press declarations of Lord Liverpool and Mr. Canning that none such exist. One of our co temporaries of. yesterday, indeed, affects to doubt whether the assertion of the Journal des DAeds, unsupported as it is by any thing in the treaties which have been made public, may not be justified by some secret treaty with which the leading Members of the British Cabinet are un acquainted, or which they dare not openly avow. This insinuation can spring only from the very extasy and phrensy of faction.. In truth it de serves no answer. We are indeed persuaded there are few Englishmen who would doubt the solemn as sersion of any single Member of the British Cabinet on such a subject, if opposed —we will not say by the assertion of a French Journalist,- having in view a special' and imme diate purpose—but if opposed even by the so lemn attestation at the foot of the altar of the whole French Court and Government, from the highest to the lowest individual who furs any thing to do with either. [NIOIININC Paris Papers of Tuesday were received yes terday. The proceedings on Monday in the Chamber of Deputies are of some interest. M. de la Bourdonnaye again attacked the Minister Villele with great vehemence. It may be proper to mention, that M. de la Bourdonnaye is the chief of the extreme Ultra Royalist party, which is. greatly irritated against the Minister, espe cially for the tardy and temporising course pur sued by him with regard to Spain. It appears from the speech of his assailant, that M. de Villele, when hoisted into office on the shoulders of the Ultras, promised that the Party 64 should obtain a signal triumph." With the exception' of the Ministers' slowness in invading Spain, one' would think that he bad redeemed his pledge. The' elections have been reduced almost to a nullity. Should the system, continue, the Chamber will be as completely packed at the end of five years— when the whole Deputation' will have been changed—as the Legislative Body of Boonaparte. The Journals have been placed completely at the mercy of the Government. The patronage of Administration has been• liberally bestowed upon the Ultra party, and the Missionary Priests and Jesuits receive rather homed° and protection.— M. de la Bourdonnaye, however, it appears, will content himself with nothing short of drawibg the sword against the interests and institutions of the Revolution, and against all persons in any way connected with it. lie dotnands that the Press should be wholly extinguished, and the various officea given to " devoted and energetic" Ultras. The practicability and prudence of his views are very questionable ; but it must be admitted that he has the merit of frankly avowing them. Ife culled the Charter "an odious gua rantee of revolution ;" he thinks France might be brought back to the old regime, and makes no 'secret of his wish to hazard the experiment—to which it is probable the Minister pledged him self, whilst yet an aspirant to power. The most important part of hit speech is that fn which he confirms the reports of the unprovided state of the army of the Pyrenees. " You have had," he says," six months to prepare, and already your cavalry is in want of forage, and the most urgent want is felt on every side." Several voices in stantly exclaimed that this was false ; others said that, even if true, it should not be spoken. But the orator persisted,• and concluded by de claring that he should vote against the Budget, in order to mark his disapprobation of the sys. tern of imbecility and temporising pursued by the Minister. BUILDING GROUND kr IIASTINGS.—OD turday afternoon, a portion of the West Cliff, 243 feet in length. and BU' feet in width, was sold by auction, and fetched the enor, moils sum of nineteen hundred and ten pounds, and the hewing down of the rock, before it can be built upon, we are informed; will cost more than half the above amount It would thus ap. pear that Hastings may compete with Brighton, or - the most favoured among watering places, in the value of building. ground; for we doubt it en instance can he adduced where property of this kind has realized a higher ptlce.—(Brighton Ga,tette,) DREADVUL Acclngwr.—Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, as some bricklayers were erecting a scaffold at the house of Mr. Joynt, situate at .

The present losses under which the cultivation of the West Indies is carried on, cannot long be maintained ; they must speedily reduce both planters and merchants to in evitable and irretrievable ruin. The law passed in the last Ses sion of Parliament, to permit an intercourse with the United States of America, and other countries upon that Continent, seems likely to effect little at present, further than the supply ing of our Colonies with lumber and provisions, and taking a small quantity of sugar and rum in exchange for them.— This, however, will do some good, and in time we may hope, the taste for rum in the United States will, in some degree, re vive. The other Act, to' allow the produce of the West Indies to be shipped directly to Europe in British vessels, was passed more in conformity with the'principles of the Boar& of Trade, than with the view of- benefiting the West Indies who have as yet received no advantage from it, and are not likely, to de rive any, Unless re fi neries should be established in the West Indies, a branch of business not in the power of the planters time, which it opt„fromeonthsuemweasnt But of knowledge, measures, ledge,ofpointael,oafnwdhtiliche indeed holds out some little immediate relief, and the other, 'something in process of tune only, are yet totally insufficient to arrest the impending mischief. This can only be done by more active and certain remedies, viz.—lst. By a higher duty on East India sugar, so as to keel) it out of the home con sumption until the sugar of the West ladies beat a remunerat ing price, which cannot be estimated atiess, in time of peace, than 455. per, cwt., exclusive of duty. 2dly. By diminishing the-duty as the average price of sup' , diminishes, exacting only what the planter can afford to pay. The operation of such a mea. sure would be to• increase the home consumption when sugar is cheap, and to make the Government, as it ought in fair ness to be, a partner in the prosperity or adversity of the _planter. Silly. By diminishing the duty in Ireland, where the population is numerous, but poor, and therefore, cannot afford to consume much sugar at the present high duties. 4thly. By granting, when tram is too low, an increase of bounty in pro 'portion to the diminution of the average price. This, if the bounty be sufficient and persevered in for a few years, would enable the British grower of sugar to undersell the planters of Cuba and the Brazils in the markets of Europe, and therefore compel them instead of ourselves to reduce their cultivation. Besides rescuing our own Colonists from ruin, it would do more towards the effectual abolition of the Foreign Slave Trade than any other measure which perhaps it is within our power to em.' , ploy. These means of relief are the leading ones that appear now to be practicable to avert the destruction of the Bntish Nest Indies, Whose cultivation of sugar must other Wise be re duced to the quantity requisite for the' home market, and if East India sugar be allowed to occupy it, the cessation of the cultivation of sugar altogether must in them follow. As attempts are now making, and hopes have long been en tertained by the private traders to the East Indies, to sup plant the West Indies in furnishing sugar for the consump tion of Great Britain, and very erroneous statements in their suppott have lately been advanced in so important a place as the llouse of Commons, it is material that a right notion should be entertained of the advantages derived to Great Britain from the Colonies in the West Indies. It has been there said that the difference between the prices at whieh East India sugar can be imported, and West India sugar sold for, is so much taken out of the pockets of the people of England to' be put into the pockets of the planters of the West India. Let us join issue upon the assertion. It is not intended, however, as our adver saries do, to form an account with only one side, but to pro- duce both sides, and to strike the balance of profit or lost to the Mother Country. East India sugar, it is known, can be imported, the inferior sort at 20s. per cwt., and the best at 40s. Let us, therefore, take the mean for the average; and Calculate that East India sugar can be supplied to the people of Great Britain at 1/. 10s. per cwt. East India sugar, however; is Tess sweet than West India sugar, in the 'proportion; it launder stood, of two to three. The people of England, for the same quantity of sacchatitie matter which 1 cwt. of West India sugar contains, would have to purchase 1 cwt. of East India sugar, costing them 2/. 55.. ;. and therefore they' Would still pay the very same amount for their year's consumption as' for West India sugar at such it price as would give the planter a remu iterating profit. We' will, h owever , for the sake of argument, suppose the sugars to be the same in quality ; we will also sup pose the advantages totheshipping,merchants, &c. would beper fectly equal, and, that the effect would be merely to displace those , who now have the trade, for the purpose ofgivmg it to those who' e O n f i t s l oe i e fl vt E ebs a i s g t ten ln ndt; t r l . yittaotf:r operation,atl(ll o e e a tuiina c o untry out eo v : iv : y e( fi n y t a lo t l t ea t i nr a ly . to do good do not possess short, that nothing more is wanted on the o rr t o h pe inf ty as w • ou th w e turningptoa r t i t • be, that it might be enjoyed hy those who - have now no pre. perty ; by , which trifling changes, in both eases, their re. spective advocates assert, the country would be a prodi g i ous gainer. The qatentity of British plantation sugar annually unported, Nee returns to the House of Commons-, in 1821 and 1822) is about 3,700,000 cwts. The part of it which enters into the home consumption, from the same decuments, may be computed at about 2,500,000 cwts. the remaining 1,200,000 cwts. being exported as raw and refined. This ,2,500,000 cwts., if the planters were getting a remunerating price, ought to be sold at an average of 455. The excess of this above 305., at which East India sugar may be imported, would be 15s. per cwt., equal to a sum of 1,875,0001. according to the • notions of the Honourable Member, and asserted, as we tinder stand him, to be taken out of the pockets of the people of Eng land to be not into those of the planters'. ft is; - however, to be observed, that the average price of West India sugar is at this moment a mere trifle more than :10S. per cwt. But we are willing to take the debtor side of the account at a remunerating Value of sugar. Now let us aseertain what the West Indians are creditors by. Alieut 200,004 casks of auger are annually • imported from the West Indies. Most of the proprietors are resident among us and spend their incomes here, as much to ' the advantage of the farmers, manufacturers, and shopkeepers of Great Britain and Ireland, its those who se ' incomes are de rived from lands or funds of this country. The proprietors of sugar estates in Jamaica, and probably in some of the other islands, have most of them considerable penns, or grass farms, which raise oath, for the sugar estates, and are dependent for their prosperity upon them. There are ooter proprietors of panne, whO have no sugar estates of their own, end many, of them are resident in Great Britain. The incomes of these must be added to those of the earners of estates, and could not forM, if sugar were at a remunerating price a less aggre ga t e o f p ro fi t an d expen di ture t h an 4,00 0,0001.1 • sterling a year. This large sum goes Out of the pockets of the ' planter, into the purses of the people of England. When sugar is selling . for less than 4155. the income and expenditure of of the planter is diminished in proportion to the difference of price, so is also what is said to be taken out of the pockets of the people of England, which at this moment the average price of 'West India sugar being very little higher than would be paid for East India sugar, we may call nothing. To this s um on t h e credit side of the account, must be added the amount of the ex. ports' of British manufacture. to the West Indies. They are stated by Lord Liverpool, in his speech on Lord Latuidown's motion for a Committee oh the Foreign Trade of the Country, on the average of sit years from 11114 to 1819 inclusive, to have Item 5,434,714 The present limited means of the plante r an d his dependents, it is probable, will not allow of the same ex portation for their use, biit only a small part of-it can be dis. permed with. Ilowever, as we cannot say what the defalcation, on an average of years, will be, it will be safest to t a k e it at what his. Lordship has made it. Add it to the 3,000,0001. of expen. diture of the Welt Indians at home, and .you have no less a sum than nearly eight millions and a half annually put into the pockets of the people of England by the West Indians e in re turn, if the statement be still insi s t e d u p on , fez. their paying a liberal price for their West India sugar. Deduct 1,875,000/. from this sum, as the honourable .Member would probably wish to he done, and the hahince in flivotir of the people of Eng land, by their connection with, the British 'West Indies, Will be found to be no less than 0,500,0001. sterling , a year, an amount which leaves mo rational hope th a t G reat Britain can ever discover the means of supplying herself with sugar up on more advantageous terms. But , in truth, the whole eight millions and a half is profit, considering the difference of qua lity, the peOple of this country would still h a V e t o nay as much for t heir sugar, if the supply were to change hands,because they niust use more of it. But the planters of the West Indies, as we have shewn, have. a right to be considered as Englishmen, 'and though their pro. perty Is situated; at a distance of 4000 miles, they are neverthe. less entitled' to the same protection in their persona and fortunes, as our brethren in Great Britain and Ireland. They have been encouraged by the Proclainations of ,the Sovereigns, anti the acts of the Parliament of England, to possess their estates. Prom the time they have owned them, they have paid quit.rents to the Crown of Great Britain fOr their l a nd s , an d st ill cont i nu e to do so. They have expended for their fortunes upon them. And is it now stated as ajust principle of Government, that they should be Sacrificed, by the creation of a di sa d vantageous competition, ' to the conquered people of ilindooitan, who exclusively own the soil 'of India, who difnr from us in colour, and.are Gentoos in religion ; entitled, as a conquered nation, to no benefits from his Majesty, but such as flow spontaneously from his will ? And we humbly hope-that' hone will ever be granted to them by the King, or the Parliament, to the injury of oth er su bj ects , not conquered in war, but Englishmen., enticed by his ancestors upon the throne, as their proelainittions witness to emigrate, for the advantage of Great Britain, and possess what they hold in the 'West 'Julies. SPRING ASSIZES. KINGSTON, ArRIL 3. JONES v. WILSON AND OTHERS. This was an action brought to recover damages for forcibly entering the plaintiff's house, and taking thence a considerable quantity of household furniture. Mr. MARRYAT stated the case to the Jury. The plaintiff was the occupier of a house situated 16, Salisbury-crescent, near the Kent-road, which he rented of Mr. Bradbury. The defendants, Wilson, an upholsterer; Benham, a furnishing ironmonger ; and Turner, a looking-glass manufacturer, had in October last supplied the plaintiff with a quantity of house hold furniture. On the 26th of that month, however, the de fendants, with a numerous body of people, collected in front of Mr. Jones's house. Admittance was demanded, which being refused, the doors were broken open, and the house en tered. The furniture was speedily removed from the pre mises, some being let down from the windows, and the rest taken out at the door. It was for this conduct, the value of the property, and the injury done to the house, that the action was now brought. Francis Sewers called, and examined by Mr. Serjeant Law Es—l resided at Salisbury-crescent, Walworth. On the 25th October, about nine in the morning, I passed by the plaintiff's house; I saw there several persons trying to ope n the outer gate, in which, a ft er a short time, they suc ceeded; the door was broken open by force ; the defendants and others entered e the goods were brought out by . the persons assem bled, some of them were put out at the window : at this time there were about thirty persons—afterwards from 200 to 500 :•a person looked out of the window, and the defendant Wilson said to him,—" Come down and undo the door, you swindler V' then addressing the mob, he said, " there is a nest ofswindlera here." Another witness was put into the box to give a similar ac count; but Mr. GURNEY stating that it was not his intention ' to dispute the facts as already proved, he withdrew. Sampson Marshal called and examined—l lived a t the plain tiff's house and occupied a few rooms; the plaintiff did not take his meals in the house s he or one of his brothers usually slept ho there at night.
