TIIE LONDON JOURNALS. ISXIDACTS FROM VIZ DULY MORNING PAPERS, March QO, [MORNING CHRONICLE % ) Sir Francis Burdett, on Tuesday evening, asked 6C if it had been finally determined that this country should pursue so mean; so dastardly, as well as so unwise and impolitic a course (as neutrality), what was the inevitable inference Why, that the Government had resorted to the cowardly expedient 'of advancing the views of the Holy Alliance, by means from which every freeman and every Englishman must revolt with contempt and abhorrence." Sir Francis must be aware that it is not a new thing for the Govern alent to support the views of the Holy Alliance. He cannot have forgotten Naples—he cannot be ignorant of the assistance afforded by us to the hjoly Alliance when Austria invaded that country —he cannot have forgotten the recent justification of the Austrian invasion by Mr. Peel (who spoke the language of the majority, though the least able part of the Cabinet). The attack on Naples was as atrocious in principle as that now about to be made on Spain. Ministers think the invasion of Spain likely to be attended with more danger to the Holy Alliance than that of Naples was, and hence they are chiefly opposed to it.— The object of their solicitude is not Spain, but the Bourbons, [TUE 7131E5,] Sir" . Fiancis Burdett's speech on Tuesday night has set the public upon thinking, more acutely than it had thought before, on the.subject of the diabolical Bourbon aggression, and what it may now be feared will prove—our tame acquiescence in it. When we hear Ministers blazoning loudly their own merits, in having preserved the honour and interest of the country in their negotiations respecting this unhappy affair, and when we hear them farther asserting the great resources of the country, and its capacity to, undertake a new war, our natural inference would be, that Spain had been saved by their powerful mediation— that the Bourbons had been made to desist from their_ iniquitous enterprise, in something like the smile manner as Mr. Pitt's negotiations and arma ment in the year 1791, checked the ambitious projects of Russia, and rescued Turkey from her rapacious grasp. But whilst we hear our wealth and power represented so flourishing, and at the same time cast our eyes abroad and see Spain attacked, and, as her ,enemies boast, at the point of being overrun, just as if we were in the most abject state of distress, or, in truth, no such power as England existed at all, we are totally at a loss to reconcile such words with such events. Ministers do more than ac knowledge, they boast of the ability of the country to save Spain ; it cannot; surely, be the object of their policy to let her sink in the conflict. What they mean by the resources of the country we know not, if they are not to be applied to preserVe that balance of power in Europe upon which the independence of each part is founded : what they mean by the preser vation of the national honour we know not, if the most profligate enterprises are executed in contempt of their remonstrances. The only le gitimate exertion of power is to preserve itself unimpaired ; and none can suppose that our re lative importance in Europe will not be greatly diminished, if Spain be obliged to take the law from France. It is clear to the senses, that ex ternally the Bourbons. pay us no manner of respect whatever. Mr. Canning's Papers, we suppose, will disclose the internal worship and adoration which they ascribe to us; but we would they had displayed themselves in abstain big from those acts, the permission of which must overwhelm us with disgrace and shame. DIRITISIE PRESS.] The mighty struggle in which Spain and Por tugal are now about to be committed for the pre servation of every thing dear to them as nations, is tine most interesting to every reflecting mind. If the altars of rising liberty be overturned in the Peninsula by the bayonets of foreign soldiers, and Spain sink in the day of battle, the light of liberty may be quenchedfor ages ; the awakened holies of Italy and Germany will be no more ; the fanatic Bourbon will sit confirmed on the thrones of France and Spain, and blood flow like water throughout the latter country ; then will the dark familiars of the Inquisition re-appear, and ancient superstition renew its horrid festivals ; the Holy Alliance will reign supreme throughout Europe, and from the Duieper to. the Tagus all will be slavery and despair. That which the Courier, the New Myles, and the enemies of liberty in Spain, rely MI most, is her present want of avail able means to meet the combat that is thickening on her frontiers ; they count on her embarrass ments as the omens of defeat, and exult in her pecuniary wants as an assurance of her subjuga tion. Spain is now decidedly without present means, but she is yet rich in resources. She lost for ever by her unfortunate policy her immense possessions in. Southern America; but if her Cortes will yet be really wise, if they will only acknowledge in , form that freedom which the Colonies now actually enjoy, and recal Mo rales and his soldiers from civil murder in these Provinces, she may again conciliate the Ameri cans, and be supplied from the mines of Mexico and Peru ;‘, that army now engaged in hopeless contest would be of inestimable service to her in lier day of need at home ;• the hardy bands of Bolivar and San Martin, released from their country's cause, would throng, if necessary, to her rescue ; the privateers of South America would issue from every port, and swarm on the coasts of France ; Spain, herself exhausted, would be constantly supplied by the immense resources of rising America, and in place of being enfeebled aril paralyzed as she now is, she would be strong in every way—in men—iu money— and in shipping. [MORNING, POST. ] The question as to the armed interference of Engiaud to the approaching struggle between France and Spain, is for the present set at rest by the declaration of Mr. Secretary Canning t that there exists no specific ground which can at the present moment involve this country in war. — We needed not the assertion with which the Right Honourable Secretary accompanied his communication to . Parliament, to convince us that whenever the Papers relating to the subject are given to the world, it will be found that the conduct and the determination of the British Government have been guided by the sincerest regard to the sacred independence of nations ; to the final preservation of that salutary balance of power which affords the surest gua rantee of national independence;. to the faith of existing treaties, positive or conditional ; and, in a word, to those wise and exalted principles of policy which have distinguished Great Britain at the brightest and proudest epochs of her history. To preserve to their country the blessings of peace, without any deviation from these high and enlightened principles, was, if practicable, the imperative duty of Ministers; for although Eng land neither is, nor we trust ever will be, re duced to the necessity of purchasing peace by any timid or unworthy compliances, yet it is un questionable that a war at the present moment would be eminently injurious to her, by obstruct ing her progress in that splendid career of pro sperity in which she now bids fair to leave behind a 11 domestic 'uneasiness and all foreign competition. And if there are amongst us any, who in their honourable zeal for the cause of national hide peflence cherished the hope of seeing the war- like energies of their country called forth in the direct and immediate support of that holy cause, let theril be consoled with the reflection that whatever augments the power and resources of England, does in effect strengthen the cause to which she is pledged, and afford a new as surance of its eventual triumph. We are per suaded that the determination of the British Go vernment does not rest upon any narrow, Selfish, and exclusive policy—that its probable influence upon the final and permanent condition of Europe receives an ample share of attention—and that as the continued welfare of England and the inde pendence of the other European States are ob jects essentially combined, it is in combination only that they are pursued. iNEW TIMES.] It is with a feeling of honest pride that we appeal to the Debate of Tuesday evening in con firmation of the views which we have all along entertained of the policy befitting Great Britain to adopt in a crisis like the present. We have declared that a firm, a dignified, an uncompro mising Neutrality was the duty of Government to the Nation, and of the Nation to itself. The cheers with which Mr. Canning's declaration, " that at present there existed no specific grounds which could involve this country in war," were received, sufficiently attest the accuracy of this our first and leading principle. But it did not rest here. -Mr. Thomas Wilson, the highly re spected and independent Member for the City of London, spoke the sense of the mercantile in terest, with which he is well acquainted, when he declared himself satisfied with the preserva tion of the national honour without the hazard and difficulty of a war. Mr. Ricardo, an emi nent Member of Opposition, said he had no hesitation in declaring his opinion that it would be wise to keep out of war. Mr. Denison, also an Opposition Member, and a person of great personal weight and influence, said he was convinced the country ought, if pes sible, to avoid war, and to do any thing consistent with tho nation's honour to shun that abyss from which we had so lately escaped. Sir John New port, an old steady Oppositionist, said we must deliberate and consider deeply before plunging again into war. Clearly, therefore, not on any party views, but on grounds of national interest, which in candid minds outweigh all party con siderations, it is wise in us, as matters now stand, to maintain a strict and rigid Neutrality. But this is not a decision which rests on selfish ness or illiberality, far lesson a love for slavis and despotic principles. His Majesty's Ministers will not consider that they can justify the course of policy which they have pursued, unless they prove its fitness by these four great tests—the just principles of National Independence—due regard to the Balance of Power—the Faith of - Treaties—and the Moral Dignity of Great Britain. It is not meant to say that we should be Quixottes in the pursuit even of these high and honourable objects. We must not lavish the blood and treasure of this country for a chime rical perfectibility in the general system of Europe ; but we must weigh the burthens which war will undoubtedly impose, the sufferings it will bring iu its train, the dangers to which it may, expose us—against the solid, substantial value, and unexaggerated importance of the prize for which we may have to contend : we must take counsel neither of rashness nor of timidity, of prejudice nor of passion, but of duty, of inte rest, and of honour. [MORNING HERALD.] Mr. Canning's ,answer to the questions of Sir James Mackintosh, in the House of Commons, ►was the subject of much conversation in the course of yesterday. What falls from the lips of a Secretary of State in such a crisis as the pre bent, upon a matter so important, cannot be other wise than publicly interesting. .Yet it would have been difficult for the Right Hon. Gentleman to' express himself in such a manner as to give less information than be actually did. All that he told was already matter of notoriety. lie said there was no longer any reason, to look for peace between France and Spain. Who required to be told this ? Who could possibly doubt it, after the intelligence of the last few days from Paris and Madrid ? He further said, with reference to the policy of this country, that he saw no specific grounds which should oblige the country to become a party to the war at the present mo ment. This the .public also knew already ; for surely, if there was any ground for immediate hostilities, the note of preparation would have, ere this, been loud and unequivocal, in the ports and naval arsenals at least. If, however, he added no thing to what the people at large already knew, the very guarded and qualified manner in which he expressed himself, tends rather to set men's imaginations busily at work as to the future, than to fix a probability of our being enabled to continue at peace. If the. French, overrun Spain without difficulty, as the Austrians did Naples and Piedmont, the interference of this country would be out of the question. But suppose— and it is no violent presumption, that the Spaniards should make a good stand against the invaders, then indeed a contingency suggests itself, which, in all likelihood, would draw England into the war. Let the Spaniards but appear, after the first fair trial with the enemy, able and resolute to defend their inde pendence, and the consequence.will be their be ing supplied from this country with the neces saries of war in abundance. If their cause wears a favourable aspect, the spirit of private commercial confidence and enterprize in our markets will not be backward, and these supplies would become their chief sinew of strength,. But would the French put, up with this sort of neutrality ? Is there not a probability that the French Government might declare the coast of Spain in a state of parchment blockade ? This is no improbable stretch of presumption in the French Cabinet; and it surely is not one to which the Government of this country would submit. It would be a silly attempt to discuss the respective chances and means of the French and Spaniards in the approaching con test. There is one thing, however, which should not be lost sight of. It is, that the unimpeded advance of the French upon Madrid, and its occupation, though calculated to give them a specious eclat of success, would yet leave the issue of the waryand even of the campaign wholly undecided. The Spanish Government has made the abandonment of the capital part of its sys tem, and it would appear that it will depend upon the French themselves, whether they will or will not advance, leaving the fortresses oc cupied by the Spaniards in their rear. The mere occupation of Madrid was never looked upop as of military importance in the late war. A LIST 'OF THE MINORITY WHO VOTED FOR MR. MARERLY'S MOTION, To Repeal the Whole of the Window Tax.

This celebrated plain Was yesterday a scene of slaughter, in a battle which will stand as high in pugilistic history as any before recorded. The heroes for the day's diver sion were Arthur Illatthewson, a Birmingham-man, and Israel Belasco, a Jew, who had shew off in the London prize-ring. Liaise° was hacked at 6to 4. he assemblage was of that sort which upon such occasions we have before related; Lords and dog-fanciers, prigs and patricians, Were Coupled; such a miscellaneous group was scarcely ever seen before.. It was odds And ends against pewter platters. The sets-out were as ludi crous as can be conceived. The swells were-confounded in their bounders with dog-carts of every description, with cabbage con veyance. At one o'clock the men entered the ring, doing first their cgstors in, as a signal of defiance, add a conflicting and punish ing battle followed. Joshua Hudson and Randal seconded 111atthewson, and Belem) and Richmond officiated for Israel BelascO. _ _ _ L Both men stripped very prime, and went to work with much earnestness. Arthur showed much muscle, anti connoisseurs decided that he was the strongest man stripped. Arthur hit short, and Belasco broke his ground upon saving points. Ar thur placed a right-handed hit upon the ear of his adversary, which was returned trpoll the head without visible marks ; in a close the :Ye* slipo' down. 2. A scientific round, and much equal Aghting. It was dis covered that the countryman was not to be played with. A :smart rallying round took place with equal advantages, hits having been put about mos t w illingly. Belasco got a heavy right=handed one upon the -head, with which he. went down, rather from the effect of a slip titan the weight of the hit. ArthUr strewed first blood from the teeth at getting up for the next round. :1. Belasco placed first Mt upon the mouth, and his adversary returned short Belasco had the .worst of the round, and he was thrown. The weaving system the men were equal in fighting, but Arthur was the quickest and„strongest ; he floored his adversary from the close. .2 to lon Arthur. • The 4th, sth, and r,th rounds, were most gallantly con. tested, and each had alternately best; but although Belasco had more finished science than his adversary, yet he was over-run by quickness and i science and was thrown by strength. Baltic() practised th e hi t ; Randal with with the left hand at the body, the right guardin g t he bead with, some elfeet.; In the 7th round, wh en b ot h were weak, the men met at the rives, and became dreadfully tired. The; "reeving system fol. ,lowed, and strength gave Arthur the best of it. • It was a manly rallying round before the close, but 'Arthur in playing at the heed beat his adversary iu playing at the body. Mimeo got away froth the close work, by leaving his adversary's strength to toil itself,'.. It was nearly equal fighting until the lOtit round, when Belasco placed a flush and chattering, hit tipon the bridge of his adversary's nose,-and which, from the swelling followrng it, threatened to sew up both..the eyes. The countryman was thrown in a struggle. The ring was a deluge of clamt after this. , Both were hit to a stand still in .the 17th round. in the lOth round, Arthur recover e d a bit, and, by Josh. Hudson's ad vice, threw out the left hand at the head, which caused an extra profution of claret in the next round, when, by a finish ing:stroke, the fight was won. • • The second match was between Sampson, the Bira:inghani youth, end Hall, his townsman. - Hall was beat in two rounds. Sampson pot his body into pkoic,,end his head into Chancery in'the first round; and in the next he replenished his dose, which give him afinisher.—A bull bait finished the sport. To the Right Hon. the EARL of LIVERPOOL, K.G. March 18, 1823. MY LORD—The Treasury Minute of the 16th Jan. last, founded on his Majesty's Most Gra- cious Letter to your Lordship, whereby he pre- Lents the valuable and extensive Library collected by his late Royal Father to the British Nation, has not more than adequately expressed the sen timents of admiration which this, splendid in stance of the King's munificence and generosity has excited in the public mind ; nor asserted too much in expressing a persuasion that it will be felt as adding to the many claims which his Ma jesty already has on the affections and gratitude of his people, and will afford to future ages a further proof of his Majesty's invariable attention to the interests of Litirature and Science. It is impossible for any person to reflect on this noble act of his Majesty without being deeply affected by it, whether viewed as a tribute to the memory of the best of Fathers and of Kings, or as an offering from the Sovereign to an enlight ened people for the advancernent of knowledge. In either case it behoves us, in accepting this magnificent donation, to deposit it in a place at once worthy of the Illustrious Persons by whom it was collected, and presented to the nation, and well calculated" in all respects to promote the object which gave rise to this instance of Royal liberality. With the view of suggesting to your Lordship a suitable place for the attainment of these ends, I venture to address your Lordship,and I trust that 1 shall be pardoned for stating that I have been the more particularly induced to do so by the apprehension which the Resolutions of the Trus tees of the British Museum, passed on the Bth February, have given rise to, that it may be de termined to erect a building adjoining to, and in the present premises of the British Museum for the reception of this extensive Library. I trust, my Lord, that such a determination will not be made. The objections to it are so evident, and so powerful, that they cannot have escaped your Lordship's discernment ; and I should think it unnecessary to state them here, did not the Trus tees, in the Resolutions to which I before refer red, appear to overlook them, in their anxiety to place this splendid collection in the Museum. It may therefore be permitted me to point out, as insuperable objections to such an appro. priation, thaincenvenience of the situation of the present buildings of the British Museum, with reference to those parts of the town in which the benefits of such an Establishment are most felt and appreciated ; the defective state of the build ings, which renders it probable that a removal of the whole Museum must take place at no very distant period, and the Consequent impolicy of erecting a new building for the present purpose : on or adjoining to those premises; but, above all, the bite which the new building to be attached to the Museum must occupy, presents the strongest, and to my mind, most insuperable ob jection. Surrounded by the Museum buildings, and by the houses which encompass its gardens, and shut out from public view, the structure could neither be an ornament to the Metropolis, nor a suitable Memorial of the Nation's gratitude ; while by its want of publicity, the benefits which the Royal Donor intended the public at large should derive from his Gift, would be in a con siderable degree lessened, and probably in a few years entirely confined to the learned fre quenters of the Museum Archives. Having thus pointed out some few of the ob jectiens to the British Museum as a place of deposit for the Royal Library, I venture now to suggest to your Lordship a place for this pur pose, which, whether considered with reference to its central position, its proximity to the prin cipal seats of learning in the Metropolis, its magnificence, and suitableness for the object as connected with the Societies of Science and Arts, is unrivalled in this Country, and perhaps in the world; while , by the adoption of this plan, a building which has long been at the same time the ornament and opprobrium of this grand city, might be completed in a manner corresponding with its original design, and worthy of the pro. posed object. Your Lordship will have antici pated my proposition, and without hesitation conclude that the spot I should propose is the unoccupied site of the intended eastern wing of Somerset House. This is indeed, my Lord, the spot of all others the best calculated for the Royal Library. A sum bestowed on the com pletion of so noble a building, and for such a purpose, would be joyfully granted by the na tion at large. Let not the paltry consideration of a few thousands decide this question : the ha. pour of the country, the gratitude of the people, and the promotion of knowledge, all call for liberality on this occasion, and while hun dreds of thousands have been spent on pe nitentiaries and prisons, let us not deny the necessary sums for the completion of the most splendid building the country can boast of, and for the attainment of an object calculated to ad vance literature and science, and to promote the intellectual enjoyments of the public at large.— I am fully aware that my proposal has not no velty to recommend it, the idea of removing the whole of the British Museum having been started, and most ably argued by the ingenious writer of an article in the Quarterly Review. But if ob jections from i want of space arose t o th a t p l an , they w ill net apply in the present case, as one floor of the range of buildings designed in the original plan, would be more than sufficient to contain the whole Library ; and the want of a National Gallery of Pictures having been long admitted in this Country, we might entertain a hope that another floor of the same range might at some future time be apprbpriated for the re. ception of Works of Art. With the highest' respect, I have the honour to be, My Lord, &c. W. EAST INDIA HOUSE. Yesterday a General Quarterly Court of Pro• prietors was held, which was made special for two purposes — tint, to consider a resolution of the Directors to gran t 30,00 0 , rupees to COL CAMAC ; secondl to discuss the pt•opriety of petitioning Parliament for an eq ualization of the duties on East and West India Sugar.
