LONDON,'JOUJINALS. On %ACTS FROM TILE DAI LIC • MORIstING P OPEitc, February 9.7., 18'23. . A ' [MORNING POST.] We have to congratulate the'country on the proud and gratifying Statement made last night to the House of Commons by the -new Chancellor of the Exchequer, respecting the flourishing state of the Revenue, and the consequent certainty of a.great reduction of Taxation. Let, those who have fatigued the public with tales of bankruptcy ,and ruin„who have given a voice to the Debt, and made it say to the British' Government and Peo, pie, thus far shalt thou go, and no farther ;" who have- laughed with scorn at the very idea that we retained any seed of prosperity, or could display, when called upon to do so in a just caue, the energy of an independent nation — let all the scoffers at our past glories,, the pro phets of our speedy downfall, read the clear and triumphant Statement of Mr. Robinson, and if they have not patriotism enough to rejoice, let them. at least have sufficient wisdom not :to betray their mortification. it appears from .the able and comprehensive view which the Chancellor of the Exchequer took. of the 'linunces of the year, and. the general outline "'of the measures. of relief which-he expressed his inteetion to adopt, that there wilt be a Surplus of Keyenue in 182 amounting to .more than -Seven millions . sterling. Five of these are to go to the Sinking Fund, to be applied to the reduc. thin of the National Debt; the remainder to be given to.the public in a large remission of Taxes. The 1V indo w Tax is to be reduced one half. — The Duties on a certain class of Male Servants, those on occasional Gardeners, those on the lower Taxed Carts, and those - on Ponies, under thirteen hands high, are to be altogether repealed; and in consequence of the wants and disastrous condition of Ireland, all the Assessed Taxes are to be taken.off from that suffering part of the British Empire. It is most gratifying to know, that notwithstanding the reduction and repeal of . Taxes, to the amount of more than two millions, the indications of increasing prosperity' are such that the Revenue of DM is expected to prove equal 'to that of 18c22. [THE tines.] The new Chancellor of the Exchequer opened hist night his plan of Finance for the year. The time will not allow of our discussing it much at large: suffice it to say, that the people seem to receive their chief alleviation from themselves, — Their efforts in trade, manufactures, and com merce,, have given to the existing taxes an excess of reduce over previous calculation to , the amount of two millions, bei,ides the five millions really calculated upon last year, and appro priated as a Sinking Fund. This sum, therefore, of five rtaillions, remaining as before, there are still the two millions, which may be remitted from the taxes, and the revenue, even if it shall met improve farther, will remain as before. Our readers will see in the Right Hon. Gentleman's Speech the quantity and kind of each tax that is to be reduced. [NEW TIMES.] The French Jurisprudence, relative to Stock jobbing transactions, does not seem to be clearly settled. A Monsr. Coulte had employed as brokers, on different occasions, M. Martin de Linigchimp, M. Mussard, M. Sandrie, and M. Auge, who paid difterences for him to a considerable amount on speculative purchases and sales, the seller having really no stock to deliver, and the buyer not being : prepared with money for the purchase, bad it been required. The brokers sepa. rattily sued. Coulte for the money, first be fore . the Tribtfrial of Commerce, which de cided in favOur of them Coulte appealed to one of the Chambers of the Cour Royale against the judgment in favour of Longchamp, which was for '22,500 f.; bUt the judg ment, was affirmed . by that Chamber. Be ap pealed to a different Chamber of the Cour Rook against the judgments in favour of Mussard, Sandrie, and Auge, which were for 70,000 francs, Nibeni after a long argument, the Court pro nounced in favour of Coulte, on the ground that the bargains, being all gambling transactions, and forbidden by law, the brokers who conducted them had no legal ground of action against their principal, inaSiutith'as - they, did not, in our ordi nary phrase, come into Court with clean hands. The judgments being thus opposite, the matter will be brought for final decision before the Court of Cessation. Lstonistrso cuttomer.c.j We are quite aware of the difficult situation in which ministers have been placed by the impolicy of the course pursued up to a comparatively re cent date.—Nothing proves more that the course in question was impolitic than the circumstance of England having already, according to Mr. ' Canning, made us strong rom6strances as any that can be made without their having had the desired effect ; for if things had been properly managed at the settlement of Europe, the remon. strance of England could not have afterwards been disregarded. As it is we are aware that great caution is necessary lest we should, with out intending to become subservient to the views of the enemies of Europe. Let us bear always l i p mind that money is the great Obit at present ; that though Austria could squeeze gold out of Naples, tlO power can squeeze it out of Spain ; that, as was observed by Talky. rnud, the expellee of the war must be defrayed by France, for Spain cannot defray it ; that the French soldier must be fed in Spain at the ex pence of France; that the Austrians and Russians, if they move, must also be paid by France. The nature of the country supplies Spain with a cheap defence, and without departing from neutrality, we can 'easily supply her with the chief means of that defence. The be coming formal parties to the war might entail a ruinous eapence on us, while it would again make the ArOrieins the carriers of Europe. 'The in vasion of Spain, and the calamities of it hich it must be productive, are little calcult!te4 to sub (lite the obstinacy of the people, against whom the mighty of Europe may yet try their strength in vain. With respect to Mr. Robinson's state ment, it u 4v . ill be seen that if was received very fa 141ratilOii lit he 'respect it must be admitted he has a great advantage . over his predecessor; he can be heard, which the other sel dom was, and never Without a great effort on the part of the listner. But . Mr. Robinson has also been always distinguished by the candour of his statements (his candour indeed sometimes amounts to naivete, as witness his famous admis sion in the debate on the Postintistti-Generalship tact year), and we were therefore prepared for the advantageous display. he made last night.— The just tribute which he paid to the virtues and good disposition of the great body of the people was creditable both to his head and his heart ; and we hope it will not be without its influence on those underlings of Government who have long made it their business to calumniate the people, chiefly we believe-because they thought this would be acceptable to their patrons. • [BRITISH PRESS.] The Chancellor of the Exchequer made his long-promised statement last night on the finances of the country, and the reduction. of taxation, an nounced in his Majesty's Speech at the opening of the Session. That expensive bubble, the Sinking Fund, is to remain untouched to the amount of 500,000/. for the purpose of supporting public credit. The Right Hon. Gent. estimated the whole surplus of the year at 7,200,0001. from whicholeducting the Sinking Fand of five millions, there remains a sum of 2,200,0001. applicable to the purposes of economy and reduction of taxation. The Assessed Taxes, as at present existing, were stated to be 5,900,0001., off which the Chancel lor of the Exchequer proposes in the Horse and Window Tax a reduction of 2,200,000/. The remnant of the Assessed Taxes in Ireland he proposes to repeal entirely. This conces sion was most favourably received by the House, and will be greatfully acknowledged in that country ; but it ought not to have been delayed to this late period. The Window and Hearth Tax ought years since to have been repealed, and when it was done, a costly but paltry rem nant of assessed duties ought not to have been re tained, merely to preserve the expensive machi nery of collection and the patronage attached to it. The repeal of even 2 millions two hundred thou sand pounds of the Assessed Taxes in this country wilt be a sensible relief, but why not repeal the entire of these odious duties at once ? why not now perform an act of justice, which, sooner or later, must be conceded ? why, in the present state of distress, shonldithut bubble, the Sinking Fund, swallow up 5 millions, when the necessities of the' people imperiously' require that. it should be de voted to their relief ? The whole of these inqui- sitorial anti heavy imposts, which press so afflict ing'', on the community at large, should be got rid of, unk; with them the swarm of collectors and others salaried upon them.

EDlTOn—Circumstances, in themselves apparently the most trivial, have often led to the detection of crimes, thus shewing the hand of an over-ruling Providence in bringing the perpetra tors to justice. The assassins of Mr. Brierton too long, through the aid of their ghostly father, eluded the most unremitting researches of the most active Magistrates, and even baffled the skill of the Learned Attorney-General ; but a conversation, accidentally overheard by a youth of seventeen or eighteen years of age, .at length developed the whole iniquitous transaction. On the circumstances being revealed to an indefa tigable Magistrate, he set off for the neighbour hood of Father Sylvester O'Sullivan, Parish Priest of Knockacoppal, accompanied by a strong military force, both cavalry and infantry; with the former'he nearly surrounded the entire Parish, placing sentinels of the latter at the houses of perions most suspected. Ile then, about three o'clock in the mor►►ing, went to that of the Priest, accompanied by the Officer commanding the Dragoons ; and, on their being admitted, his Reverence joined them, evidently much alarmed. The Magistrate explained to him the nature of his visit, and the precautions he had used to pre vent escape; therefore he called upon him, as an act of justice and humanity to the innocent, to re veal to him the names of those persons who had embrued their hands ire the blood of Brierton ; but the Priest replied, that he could not, without im plicating his whole Parish. Some escaped, a number were apprehended, of whom five were tried at Tralee on the 7th of August, convicted on the clearest evidence, and executed. Bryan Maguire, the bearer of the Mail, a part of whose depositions I gave in my Third Letter, was examined on the trial, and confirmed what he had before sworn. One of the other wit nesses, an approver. named, Patrick Shea, swore that Wm. Healy, one of the prisoners, knocked Brierton ofF his horse by the blow of a pike on his bead, and that in the presence of the priest. Daniel Sullivan, a youth of 18 years of age, who had been rather a spectator of than an actor in the dreadful scene, corroborated the testimony of Shea in many points, and gave very clear evi dence on others. This last named witness has since declared, that having been placed on a wall, he saw the' priests (Father S. O'Sullivan and his coadjutor) near to the unfortunate vic- tint not more than five minutes before he was shot; but that, when the gun was levelled at him, there was a rush of the crowd to get out oT °danger, and he then lost sight of the priesti. It was also proved on the trial, that Brierton had been ordered to say his prayers (Maguire had before gone through this ceremony to the satisfaction of. the crowd) ; and, after repeating the Lord's Prayer, he declared that he could say no more; npen which the multitude" cried out, as with one voice, " lie is a rrotestaot, murder him !" and he was murdered in a manner unekampled even among savagvs—one arm severed from his body by a scythe, his skull fractured by pikes, and his bead merely banging by a piece of shin, and several pike and gun-shot tvounds in his body ; so that so shocking an object was scarcely ever before exhibited before a Coroner anti Jury. It is worthy of notice, that Arthur O'Lpary, one of Father flock, the leader of the party, and one of those convicted of the murder, first proposed to cut off Brier ton's ears, and let him go ; and for this purpose he produced a pen-knife, but this was objected to by a man not yet tried, on the, ground, , 4 ,‘ that if allowed to escape, he would bang the whole parish ;" upon which O'Leary ordered another man to shoot hint. I shall now, in coolie-unity with the promise in ray last Letter, chew that Father . O'Sullivan had not fallen in accidentally with the Insurgents, as he wislres the world to believe, but went on pur pose to meet them, mut that by appointment.— One of his flock, lately apprehended, has con fessed to a Magistrate, that he went to the Priests' house, at seven o'clock in the morning of the fatal 25th of January, with a message from his parishioners and other insurgents, requesting he would attend kmeoting ' to be holden at o'clock on that day at Shannagh Cross. What was the result ? Instead of giving information to the Magistrates in his neighbourhood—instead of sending notice to ilillarney, to Milistreet, or rocitabeg, all military stations, though be .had been apprized of it five hours before it was to take place--he sent his vestments to the house of Mr. O'Sullivan, near to the place of ren dezvous, and he himself, " Punctual as Lovers to the moment sworn," attended the Meeting, accompanied by his coad jutor—not it is evident for the purpose of admonish :ing those rebels, but to' s anc ti on , by hi s p re s ence 'and thatof his colleague, their illegal and tumultu ous proceedings, which terminated in a most bar barous and foul murder, though poor Brierton's rencounter with them was entirely accidental. The sante man, on being asked by the Magistrate if lie thought the priest could have saved the life of Brierton, said he was convinced that he .might ; for, that, had he threatened the multitude with excommunication and withholding the rites of, the Church, scarcely arty would have ,had Abe courage to have resisted his authority; but, in that case, had he appeared among them ;II his'vest meats, then in a house near to the place, it. would have insured inst an t o b e di e nc e . But- I would ask, for what purpose did this priest send his vestments to the place of meeting, if not,' by mockery and prof ana ti on o f religion, t o sanct i on the unhallowed p rocee di n gs of the insurgents ? Their aid was not called in to save the life of a heretic, or his own flock from the perpetrati on o f murder. After all this, what opinion can we t fo o rm po o b f lish thebuisnpeaxraolollepleaAtory letter in th e C or k of thi s pr i est, • quick discernment; . Mercantile Chronicle of tl a te rt 2J i t d h e o c f ei l v i' i e o l g trt a ta i r o yj i or f Mr.wha tPlfutinksect°t'ns'istitinrontli:temiaid, and profound legal knowledge. I have shewti, I doubt not, to the sitisfactiou of every impartial reader, from the conf e s s i on ' o f Priest' O'Sulliva n t o ;he 'Magistrate anti the Officer of .Dragoons —from the declaration of one of the - assassins, " that, if aliOwed to escape, Brierten would hang the whole- Parish"--and from the confession of the bearer of the mes- sage to the Priest on , the mort)ing, of the 25th of January,-- 7 th. s at, to a man, his flock wad plicatM flie - d`roadful transactions of that day. 1. have also sheivn, in the'same clear manner, the part he acted on the fatal lay ; and let the world judge how far his own statement, published in the Letter alluded to, is entitled to credit ; or how far he merited the apology made for him in the HoUse of Commons by the Attorney-Gene. ral,, And now having stripped the portrait of the'Parish Priest of Knockacoppel of its advan titious ornaments, and Mr. Plunkett having, in the last month, spoken in the highest terms of the conduct of the whole Romish Priesthood, I shall exhibit a few more of those holy men in their proper colours, for the information and admira tion of your English Protestant Readers. A man who had been sworn into the White boy Association, having incurred the suspicion or displeasure of his party, they broke into his house, beat him in an unmerciful manner, and destroyed' much of his property. He was on his way to the house of Mr. Leslie, a Magistrate, to lodge informations against them, when he was met by the Priest of the Parish, who ordered him not to go.; adding, that if they did not behave them selves better, he would himself go to Mr. Leslie. Another Priest, who suspected a prisoner of the intention of giving information to a Magistrate against his party, questioned him upon the sub ject, telling him that if he should inform, he, the Parish Priest, would not give him the rites of the Church;, and that he would allow him one week for consideration, at the end of which, if he found him •TRUE, he would administer the Sacrament to him. A prisoner, who bad been one of Walter Fitz maurice's party, the celebrated Capt. Rock, con fessed to a Magistrate that having been invited to a wedding near to Abbeyfayle, be there met his said captain, and a company ;of from 40 to 50 per sons, consisting of opulent farmers and their fa milies. The officiating Priest entered into con versation with Fitzmaurice, and said, " This is the time to put down the tyrants that. oppressed them, and hoped he,. Fitzmaurice, would exert himself fo do so." Fitzmaurice replied, that there shouldbe nothing left undone on his part, and things would go on better, but that they were short of powder. The Priest told him that there were a numberof farmers, then in the room, who had influence in Cork, and he, the Priest, was sure they svould procure him any quantity of a o i f ite it d , , a a n t d tl n ie ot sa t m o e be ti fi m r e in d g e a s t ir ra in n g d l o i m im , to b v e d - " c c r a r h e e f ul as he beard they did in the night time;" when Fitz maurice desired him " not to speak so free in so large a company, as perhaps many of them were not up."----The same prisoner also declared to the Magistrate that he was present at a meeting of Whiteboys at the house of L. Hartnet, at Abbeyfayle, where Walter Fitzmaurice, and Ed ward Roche, an opulent farmer, and also a Cap tain ltoc::, were present, when they said they would defeat the Government by keeping up a committee in every parish, who would be ready to act at all times, whenever opportunity offered.--I cannot avoid here remarking that this was the very system adopted by the Ribbonmen, of establishing rommittees through. out the country, as stated •by the Attorney. General on the late trials at Dublin : yet the Learned Gentleman declared, that there was no understanding or co-operation between them and the Insurgents in Minister, though each society had the same objects in view—subverting the Government, and extirpating the Protestants of the Country. Having stated the conduct of five Priests—the two O'Sullivans, the Priest in the neighbourhood of Abbeyfayle, and two others, in opposition to Mr. Plunkett's sweeping eulogium on the entire nomish Priesthood, lately pronounced in the Sessions House, in the City of Dublin, I think it but justice,to state, that one individual of the order had acted a conscientious part. A man, named Michael Nolan, who had been present at the assassination of a witness in the County of Limerick, went to confession, when the Priest in formed him that he would neither hold commu nication with him, nor give him the rites of the Church, unless he should' go to the Magistrates, and disclose'all about the murder. The result was, Nolan gave information, and the murderers were brought to justice, he appearing as a witness on the trial when, on being asked, 44 would he have given the inforination, if that advice had not been given to him," he said—" on his oath, he would not." Baron Pennefather, in alluding to this part of Nolan's'testirnony, 44 where this meritorious Olergyman most properly fulfilled his sacred functions, in refusing to give the rites of the Church until he should reveal the names of the murderers," added, " he felt surprised that, where many others must have had simil ar occa sion to call upon their Clergyman, it should have been so long kept secret ; one would think there must have been a spell over this most atrocious deed ; ?or it must be presumed that no clergy man would communicate with persons under an acknowledgment of soch a crime." Were ,I to enter upon remarks on, and to draw conclusions from, this most important incident, it would lead me into too great length, having al ready trespassed upon your valuable Paper ; therefore I shall postpone both to another op portunity. I shall only 4t present make one brief observation on the &tat at Tralee of the assassins of Brierton. It was attempted to prove an alibi on the part of William Healy, but fail. ed. Now, Sir, as it had been positively sworn, that he had knocked Brierton oft his horse with his pike, In the presence of* Sylvester` O'Sullivan, as that Rev. Person was in Court iduring the whole trial, and as Healy had been one of his flock, why was not. the Priest brought forward on the part of the prisoners, if it had not been apprehended that Oinething might have been elicited in his crotii.examination - not, very fa vourable to the priestly character? Justice 'and humanity called for his testimony, which could not have been considered as " a breach of confidence" between the Priest and his dock ; and, bad ho invalidated the evidence in Ilealy's case, he would have done so as to the other four.
