THE LONDON JOURNALS. TXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PATER% 111«rch 4, 1523. No11141;40, POST.) In the House of COmmons last night, the chan cellor of the Exchequer moved his resolutions *pectins the Sinking Fund, which were generally and justly approved, and consequently agreed to by the House. The EncNelopredia of Finance, it will lie seen, again figured ; away on this occa -sion.. One sees in a Pantomime, and often with feelings of uncontroulable merriment, the poor Clown not only belaboured and tormented by his avowed enemy Harlequin,. but overthrown and tumbled about by his dear friend Pantaloon. Mr. HOME, with all the drollery of that persecuted holiday favourite, comes in for the buffettings to which he is exposed from friends and foes. The Tories, from whom he ratted, lay on the lash without mercy, and the Whigs take every opportunity of avenging the disgrace which they have sustained, frinn his being supposed to be one of them. Last night the State Doctor having prescribed for the country in his usual style, got aphysicking from Mr. Baring, who stuck to him like a leech, and iave'him many a' bitter pill Mr. Baring very ably proved, in opposition to Mr. Jiuttie, the va lue and importance of a Siiiking Fund, and show ed the arguments of the far-famed Member for Aberdeen to be only fit to impose upon idiots and old women ! We shall not be so unfeeling as to dwell on the painful subject, but wishing the lion. Gentleman better discretion, we refer him to. Mr. Baring's speech, and leave him, if we may borrow one of Mr. Hume's very pithiest sen tences, to " take his change out of that." THE JESUIT9.—A Petition will be presented this evening to the House of Commons respecting the Jesuits in the United Kingdom and the Bri tish Colonies. When this most important sub ject was broached 4 ily the Biship of Chester on the 16th of April 1821, and by Lord Colches ter on the 21st June 1822, in the House of Lords, it met very little public attention. But facts have since fully proved that these distinguished personages must have had substantial reasons for their strong statements. The Petitions presented by Mr. Brownlow have caused a very" great sen satioe, as the efforts of the Jesuits have per vaded all parts of Ireland, rendering that unfor tunate country almost a land of desolation. — Should a Cornmittee of the House of Commons:be appointed to inquire into the influence and prac tices of the Jesuits, this Committee May throw such a light on the subject of the real causes of Irish miseries, as will produce the happiest ef fects ; and prove to the , world that the Orange men of Ireland are the most loyal subjects the King has in the Sister Island, although their zeal may at times have been indiscreet.—(Aid.) [THE TIMES.] The Dhnes of this day merely refers its Readers to a letter from a Correspondent, observing, that It touches Upon subjects ifi which the British nation, through its representative, is principally concerned ; and other rumours agree with the allegation of the letter. Sir William A'Court's position at Naples, when the Austrian iniquity was perpetrated there, certainly rendered him an ineligible person to send to Spain. It would be too much for that Gentleman to witness the degradation of two European cdtpital4. As to the Spaniards, we hope that they will distrust generally, whosoever offers them counsels to introduce any change into their con stitution, with a view to satisfy the foreign ene my, whether the 'advice comes in an,ollicial form or otherwise. The fate of the wretched Ferdi nand seems to be now obviously in the hands of, :be French : if ihey advance, they of course mean his destruction, in order to avail themselves of as a pretext for overrunning the country." 1540nN1N(3 lIERALD.) The herald of this day does not contain any leading article from the [NICI ILN 1 NG , CH 11.01.ItCLE4 -To enter into a serious refutation - of the opi nions of such a notoriously UnprlnClplpti man as Chateaubriand would require an apology for the insult that we should offer to the understandingi of our readers, if indeed, after the notice taken of them in the House of Commons, it were for any purpose necessary. Contempt and neglect must await them wherever the author of them is known. The impudence, however, of his pre sent conduct, and the eulogy bestowed upon him by the writers in the service of the Hour. . bons, whether of France, Naples, or Spain,, may occasion a forgetfulness that he is the wretch who excluded all the sycophants of iluonaparte in adulation—in fact, imitating the paresites of antiquity, by offering to , him almost Dl , Vino Honours. We venture to assert, that as illasphemer, Chateaubriand, is not surpassed in modern or ancient history. Nothing, however, was further from hispurpose than to bring religion into disgraci;, or to be guilty of impiety (for he has given sufficient evidence to that effect in his book upon the Genius of Christianity); his blas phemy proceeded from his efforts to gain distinc than in the Court of Napoleon—from the SEMIC Selfish motives, in truth, that actuate him at this hour. It was Chateaubriand who said (see his Preface to 41111(0 that Buonaparte was a man whom Pro vidence had sent into the world in token of his reconciliation with the human race, when he was tired of punishing mankind ! It was Chateau briand who likened the birth of young Napoleon to the Wren: of the Redeemer ! ! Xt was Cha teaubriand who brought water from the River Jordan for his baptism ! ! ! inurrtsu ritEss.l The crisis of events is rapidly hurrying on in Spain, anti the superstitious and despotic Ferdi nand, that wretched, yet cruet imbecile, is urging theut fr9t to their'gaol. When we sent our pa per to press yesterday the accounts lay before us of this being's having attempted to dismiss the Ministers of the country and dissolve the Cortes, while heiwaiteti himself iu the capital the efforts of the fugative Bessieres and his band of factious to rescue him on the presence of an invading army within the Pyrenees, to awe the Constitutionalists . of Madrid, and afford to this dangerous fanatic' an opportunity of long-meditated flight and es cape. We own we did not credit these accounts; We ,thought the atrocious attempt impossible. Much as we distrusted this perjured bigot from the commencement, and infamous as we knew his whole career to have been,. we did not imagine he could have ventured so very far—though we re collected but too well the patriots he had mur dered, and the hundreds of victims he had im mured within the dungeon's gloom—though we remembered the rack revived under his reign, and the bloody Inquisition rejoicing in his return, we could not imagine that, with the crowded throng of liberty around him, with its shouts penetrating its palace walls— with his solemn oath tecorded and registered to the Constitution, and his closing address to the Extraordinary Cortes at the termination of its sittings only a few days before—we could not, we repeat, have thought this regal hypocrite would have ventured on the act of such unprin cipled daring as the dismissal of the Constitutional Ministers, the dissolution of the Legislative As sembly, and the utter abandonment of Spain to civil faction and foreign hatred, to the daggers of domestic traitors, and the bayonets- of an in vading army, about to pass the Pyrenees for the avow ed purpose of making this sanguinary wretch single and absolute. Yet such has been the case. The despot, on the decree of the Cortes being communicated for his removal, and being ap prized of the preparations necessary for his de parture, refused to obey the deree, and signed a mandate for thedismissal of the Ministers. The atrocious duplicity roused the indignation of the citizens of Madrid ; they surrounded his palace, and but for the brave Communeros, the national militia who were on guard, his worthless life might have been the sacrifice. Iris fears, how ever, alarmed him into an instant revocation of the decree, and the . Miaisters were restored to their places. [New 'macs.] It is usually difficult to 'ascertain the real character of revolutionary events at the time of their oEcurrence. , So many conflicting passions and intrigues are mixed up with them, so much turbulence and confusion take place in their transaction, and so few persons have` the means of correct observation, even upon - the spot, that clear and consistent accounts can hardly be expected to travel to a distance. This has been peculiarly the case with regard to the late important occurrences at Madrid. That political struggles of the most serious kind have taken place, both there and also at Cadiz, is very certain ,• but we must confess, that on comparing the different statements respecting both those places, we find it extremely difficult to put our readers in possession of an accurate knowledge of the facts. We shall, however, collate the different versions of 'the same story, and endea vour to extract from them a sketch approaching as nearly as possible to correctness. The first account mentioned that Ferdinand had at tempted to dissolve the Cortes ; but this was inaccurate ; Ole Session of the Extraordinary Cortes drew to a termination, and was regularly to be closed by the King's Speech.. It was then said, that in this speech Ferdinand had d'eclared his resolution to dismiss the Ministers and prin cipal Generals ; but it now appears that the speech was drawn up by • the Ministers them selves, who put into the King's mouth what sentiments they chose ; and that he did not even deliver it in person, but sent it to the Cortes on the 19th ult. the last day of their sitting On the same day, a meeting of the Pre. naratory Junta was held to make arrangements for the first sitting.of the Ordinary Cortes, which was fixed for the Salt ult. A change of Ministry had beets previously anticipated, and was de sired, for opposite reasons, by different political parties :—the Royalists hoping that the King might find more moderate men—the Conineros, that they might force upon him some Re volutionists of their own particular class.— The Ministers, on their part, were .sup ported by the Freemasons, who had the majority in the Extraordinary Cortes; and they obtained from that Body two decrees, one authorising the King's removal from Madrid, and the other pro hibiting him from filling up the Ministerial and other offices out of the Council of State, by which means they not only excluded their rivals from power, but. left the King no practicable means of forthing a new Minstry at all. On the very day that the Extraordinary Cortes closed. their sittings, the Ministers attempted to secure and carry ofrtheir victim. They told the King he must immediately - remove from Madrid. lie re fused. They said he would be compelled. nere begins the'crisis, and here of court-, the ac counts are in direct opposition to each other. One statement says 'the seven Ministers agreed among themselves to resign, with the exception of OtIP, who should merely remain in till another Minister should he appointed • and that this task fell, by lot, upon Eget', the Minister of Finance. Another account says that the King indignantly drove the six who had personally insulted him from his presenCe and Councils. Certain how. ever it is that in the early part of the 19th a Decree of dismissal of six of the Ministers was signed by the King and countersigned by Egea. FIRE AT CIiESTER.-:-011 Mondny morning last, about a quarter before three o'clock, the coach Manufactory of Mr. Parry, in Foregate.street, again took fire. Before four o'clock the, entire range of premises was completely gutted. The buildings, property, tools, &c. as heretofore, were insured with the Sun Fire Office, to the amount Of 2,0001. but the loss, it is said, will considerably ,exceed that sum.—We are told nearly 50 car. riages were burnt, amongst them a new coach for Jones Penton, Esq. High Sheriff for the county of Angleasea. Wheat rose fifteen shillings per , load in Salisbury market on Tuesday list ; and the bakers In stantly made, a rise equivalent_ to 40 shillings, so that the gallon loaf immediately after the market, and before a grain had been ground at, the Mill, tvui advanced two-pence, making it flittrteeu pence. COMPARISON BETWEEN THE FRENCH AND SPANISH REVOLUTIONS. [From the Umpire of Sunday att.] Having mentioned, in our last number, the points of simi larity between the French and Spanish, we now proceed to the far more agreeable task of bringmg into notice the points of contrast. First, then, as to the origin of. the revolution in Spain, as differing from the origin of the revolution in France. There may be some truth in the assertion, that the abuses of the old riginie, and the necessity of some improvement, were the ultimate causes of the revolution s i n both countries. But their immediate rise, and their actual commencement, are al. together separate and distinct. Let us look to the state of things in the two kingdoms. We are ready to allow, with re gard to France, that the revolution was, in a great measure, engendered by a eomniixture of weakness, ignorance, negli gence, and numberless errors in the Government;" that "the States-general, however imprudent their convocation may have been, might have produced only useful reforms, if they had ibund the limits _ of their pow er mar k e d out by a h a nd suffi ciently fi rm to have kept them within that extent." Yet, in France, a legitimate monarch was on the throne ; a monarch, anxious for the good of his subjects —a monarch, who. had n 6. thing in his own disposition tyrannical,perfidious, and unjust-- a monarch, ever ready to conciliate and concede ; whose great fault, and whose fatal misfortune, was a want of stern and un bending resolution—an easiness of temper—an infirmity of purpose. The revolution was begun under his eyes,• which was at last consummated by his blood. In Spain, on the other hand, the nation was left to itself. The Spaniards were without a King. Ferdinand; if he had not betrayed, had left them—if he was not prepared to gain the friendship of Napo leon by the basest compliances, the most dishonourable sacri fices, he had least thrown himself foolishly and pusillani.. mously into his power. The Spaniards had no head, or none but an usurper. By themselves, therefore, and tbr themselves, the Spaniards were compelled to legislate and act. In the ab sence of their legitimate sovereign—with usurpation, and ty ranny, and national disgrace 'before their sight—with the/M -ash people as their ally, and 'with British soldiers as their companions in arms—they naturally imbibed a love of free. dom ; for freedom they fought—in the cause of freedom they conquered. They released Ferdinand from his imprisonment— they restored Ferdinand to his throne. If they abridged, con. stitutionally, the power of their King,. they gave to. Ferdinand, personally, whatever power, he might resume : and he was bound, therefore, by common gratitude, and common justice, to allow them to enjoy the liberty which they had achie ve d, and make a fair trial o f the constitution which they had chosen. Secondly. As ,to the progress of the two revolutions, we shall not waste the time of our readers, or insult their under- Standings, by drawing the contrast. We shall not harrow up their feelings afresh, by detailing the transactions of that mo s t strange and dreadful period in the history of man—the shocking indignities offered to the King and Queen before their incarce ration and death—the barbaritiei and assassinations—the daily and hourly horrors of the reign of terror—the total destruction of all moral feeling, of all principle, of all decency in men and in women—the indescribable and almost inconceivable atroci ties perpe trated by Denton, !Veva, Itebespierre and a thou sand o thers. In Spain, if the King had not endeavoured to reinstate hiniself in the possession of absolute power by overt acts, and secret intrigues ' not a drop of blood would have been shed in a civil quarrel. As it is, althoug h no humane or sober minded man can approve the cruelties of Mina, and a few more of the military partisans, or would countenance the violent ex. ceases of the Landaburian club, ive have the unquestionable testimony of facts, the authority of the first Minister, as well as of the ablest thinkers, ' and most impartial writers in this kingdom, that the Spanish revolution, on the whole, has been peculiarly characterised by moderation and forbearance. Thirdly. Can a parallel be fairly drawn betiveen the treat. ment of Louis, and the treatment of Ferdinand ? 'We say, that the cams are not parallel ; the characters of the two Kings have little resemblance ; die treatment of the two Kings hits not been the same. We very much doubt, whether, at the present mo ment, Ferdinand of Spain is under More restraint, or corn. pelled to act in a manner more contrary to his inclination, than Louis XVIII. of France: and, alas ! if Ferdinand had falleh, with all his imperfections upon his head, amotigsueli men, as the French Revolutionists, we need not ask, what would have become of him. . If ne cast a momentary glance at another part of the Penineula, which has been mixed up with Spain and. the Spanish revolution, hai4 there been no 'difference, we would in quire, between-the treatment of the Queen of France and the Queen of Portugal ? Can .we suffer ourselves to forget that the most barbarous cruelties, the grossest and foulest outrages were heaped upon the one; and that the other has been only pre. vented from doing mischief, by a method sanctioned by the ex isting laws, and necessary for the preservation of the existing government. • • Fourthly. Have the same measures' been taken with regard to religion by the French and Spank& revolutionists 2 - 'Mere is the wisest and most obvious distinction. The Spaniards may be accused of bigotry, but they cannot be accused of irreligion. They leave not been the 'appostles of Atheism: they have not converted into temples of reason the churches dedicated to their 0 on. It may be unwise to proclaim "the Catholic religion shall be the religion of Spain, and none other shall be tolerat r . ed :" but it is surely a very different thingfroni denying the existence of a Deity i n the face of the world, and treating all religion as a farce. Fifthly. The Spaniards have no farther wish than to retain In quiet the Constitution which they have framed. They have net attempted to spread their revolution, or to propagate prin ciples subversive of society. A pamphleteer, who writes under the strange title of " the Ghost of the Marquis of London derry," asserts that " the Spaniards are not revolutionists ; they are aiming not to destroy, but to ameliorate (as they thi n k) theform of the government." At any rate, they are only re. volutionists at home : they seek not to molest or Invade others, as they deprecate molestation and invasion. If they can rest undisturbed within the Peninsula, they will care little what happens beyond it. The French revolution, on the contrary, was, throughout, one tissue of frenzy at home, and interference with other powers by means of French' emissaries and French agents. France was not contented with Its internal crimes or fol. lies; but endeavoured to assimilate all the countries of Europe to herself: to amalgamate all constitutions and all re. ligions with her new system : to hug the world in the horrible embrace of fraternity and citizenship, and unite mankind by the holy bonds of Atheism, blood-shed, end convulsion. The revolution of France resembled the description of Danger in the Fairy Queen. With him went Danger, clothl in iagg'd weed, Made of Wares skyn, that him more dreadful niade ; Yet his own face was dreadful, ne did need Strange horror, to deform his grimly shade : A net in th' one hand, and a rusty blade .In the other was : this mischief, that mishap :-.- With th' one Ms foes he thriaten'd to invade th' other he.hisfriends meant to enwrap t Par, .whatn he conk}. riot kill, he practii'd to entrap. On the whole, then, it is impossible to mix up the French with the Spanish revolution to reason from the one to the other, or to pretend that the opinions which were adopted, and the measures which were pursued, in the former case, must necessa. rily be adopted and pursued in the latter, without the most com plete confusion of ideas, and the strangest abuse of language.— They were both called revolution*; anti the thingi have been supposed identical, from the identity of the name. But to say that the events are in reality the same is an. atrocious caltunny upon the Spaniards, an assertion which is only tit for' the mouths of the Sovereigns of Verona, or the ultra-Royalista of France.— We have not done with this subject t but for the present we must 'et we would conjure Eng li sh men and English Statesmen to consider that the Spaniardshave been; and areii our friends; If we must not render them assistance, let us do them justice. We must remeinber that duringthelate struggle ‘ViihNapolain, they imbibed from companionship with, us the hatred.of arbit tary power; 'and their desire ter a Repreientative Constitution. We taught them to be free, and should hardly desert them in their freedom. But awing the French revolution, that nation was our savage foe; and wished to make the war with England, a war of ex. termination. Then, too, the . tipartish and I:nglish were to gether. 6 ' Soldiers," said Buonaparte, in the early part of his career, " you are Frenchetni y?u, :are free: before you are Spaniards—Eng/idtmen...e/ooes.

Good Gon ! and. is it with men who entertained such sentt ments as these, that the Spaniards are to be compared ? We shall endeavour hereafter to prove, that the war of the French Revolution was not, properly speaking, a war of aggrei sion, on the part of England. That it was never considered in this light by the British Ministers, the official document, in answer to Napoleon's proposal for peace, dated Downing-street, January 4, 1800, will suffiently demonstrate. [Here follows the Note alluded to, but we have not space for its insertion.] Can France, then, justify an aggressive war upon Spain at the present moment, by referring to the conduct of England during her own Revolution? This question we have already a right to answer in the negative; but we trust to render the absurdity of the plea still mere plain and undeniable by our farther prosecution of the subject. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE ASSIZES, FEB. 2S. Mr. Baron GARROW arrived at Aylesbury at about half past four o'clock on Thursday afternoon, but was so much indis posed as to be unable to attend divine service this morning— Ile however came into Court at half past twel►c o'clock, and apologized for his non-attendance at Church on so solemn an occasion, informing the Court that he had been confined to his bed for three days previous to his leaving town under a severe course of medicine. The Grand Jury were then sworpo—Marquis of CIIAIiDOS foreman. His Lordship, in charging them, remarked that it was a !matter of deep regret to behold so heavy a calendar. tie called their minds particularly to the horrid murder, and took an opportunity of expressing his satisfaction at having been fhvoured with the depositions in this case by the Earl of Bridgewater, while in town, which on account of their length would have taken him a considerable time to read over. After touching on the case of the Rev. Mr. Eyre, his Lordship con cluded by remarking, that should any difficulty occur in their arduous task, he should be happy to render them any assist-, ance in his power. Several cases were tried, but none of any public interest. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, DIARCII DEN 3.-STATE OF.

Lord DEERITURST has presented to the House a petition to amen d the Bridge Acts, to provide a fund for the annuitants on the ceasing of the tolls, and, to a limited extent, for the subse quent repairs of the avenues, &c. ; and that the present tolls may be reduced one-third imrne diately after the passing of the Act now applied for.--(Worcester Herald.) A SINGULAR INCIDENT, very well describ e d, occurred after one of NAPOLE ow's great actions in Italy, when he was passing over a l fi eld of battle, before th e d ea d b o di es had been interred : " In the deep silence of a beautiful moon light night," said the Emperor, " a dog, leaping au& denly from . beneath the clothes of his dead master, rushed upon us, anti then immediately returned to hi s hidi ng - p l ac e; howling piteously. He alternately licked his master's hand and ran towards us; thus. at once , soliciting aid and. seeking revenge. Whether, owing to my own particular turn of mind at the moment," continued the Emperor, "the time, the place, or the action itself, Z. know not ; but, certain ly, no incident on any field of battle 'ever produced so deep an impression on me. I involuntarily stopped to contemplate the scene. This man, thought I, perhaps, has friends in the ramp or in his company; anti here he lies forsaken by all except has ,dog 'What a lesson Nature here prestents through the medium of an animal ! 'What a strange being isrnan l and how mys .teriouti are his impressions ! I had, without etnbtion, ordered battles which were to decide the fate - of the - army ; I had be. with tearless eyes, the execution of those operations, by which numbers of my countrymen were sacrificed: • and here my feelings were roused by the mournful bowling of a dog Certainly at that moment I should have been easily moved by a 'suppliant enemy : I could very well imagine Achilles sur. rendering up the body of Hector at the sight of Priam's tears." Yesterday 07th ult.) forenoon a fine boy,only twelie' years of age was discovered suspended by a small cord, which he had fastened round his neck. The event was almost immediately detected, and every means used to restore anima tint 'without effeet. No cause can be signed for this distressing occur rence, except that, on the preceding day, he had gone with out the knowledge of his parents; and wit . nessed the execution of William APlntare, a .catastrophe: .which' seems to have made so strong an impression on his mind us to lead to ,an other equally distressing. In the course of the morning he was observed to make some free re. • marks to one of - h is companions on the nature of' hanging." It is supposed .he had seized the opportunity of the servant's absence from_ the kitchen to reduCe his rash but too fatal notion s to practice.
