THE LONDON JOUIZNALS• IIXTIIACTS mom TUE D %MY MORNING PAPERS, January 3, 18'23. [MORNING POST.] The French Papers are generally barren of Intelligence, and must continue to be so, until an answer shall be received from Madrid to the late dispatch. This can hardly be expected be fore the expiration of ten or twelve days ; for though M. de Villele's note was sent last week, it is not to be supposed that the Spanish Go vernment would give it a hasty reply. In matters of such vital importance to the whole country, time must be granted for consideration ; and a week is but a short period to allow for the discussions which will no doubt take place on the subject. It was not stated' when the note appeared in the illoniteur, to which branch of the Government of Spain the French Ambas sador was to communicate its purpose, or a copy. Had it been directed to be laid before the King, it would have been a distinct acknowledgment that he was still his own master, and not in that state of supposed captivity which forms one of the grounds of complaint against Spain. To address it openly to the Cortes would, on the other hand, have been an indiscreet admission of their authority, which it is one of the objects of France and the Allies to dispute.. In order to steer clear of those difficulties, a middle course seems to have been adopted. The note ,was ad dressed to neither, but to the French Ambassador, at whose discretion the mode of communication was left ; and it was believed that he would con tent himself with giving notice of the arrival of such a document ; and waiting till a formal request should be made by the Spanish Govern ment to bey informed of its contents. In this manner it was considered that the dignity and free-agency of France would not be compromised, and that she would remain at liberty at any sub sequent period to give what interpretation she pleased to her conduct according to circumstances. Meanwhile the lingering hours of expectation are spent in discussion and contentions by all the French Papers, with the exception of the Mont tour, which is too dignified to mix with the com mon herd, and only speaks on great occasions. LMOUNING CiIItONICLE.I Duc. B.—Before this reaches you, you will have seen and commented on the Note ad dressed by M. de Villele to our Ambassador at Madrid. There never was, perhaps, an official paper more vague and indefinite in composi tion and construction. But it could not be other wise. It was utterly impossible, after all that has taken place, to retract at once all the foolish things that have lieen said and done in opposi tion to the views of M. de Villele. But rely on it there is now no notion of an immediate war between this country and Spain. Should even the Ultimatum of the Powers be refused by the Cortes, and the Ambassadors of Russia, Austria, and Prussia leave Madrid, ours is not required to do so. As to the Ultimatum itself various conjectures are afloat, but I do not pre tend to know what may be its decided character. It it is couched in the shadowy language of M. de Villele's dispatch, the Spanish Government will find it difficult to understand it, and the Ambassadors be puzzled in their line of action. It is, however, to be supposed that some positive demands are laid down. [namsit Paco.] • The whole object of the 'French Government since the commencement of the Spanish Revolu tion has been exclusively to prevent a fresh revo lution in France. The other branches of the Holy Alliance were sufficiently remote from the scene to direct their attention to the general con sideration of revolutions, and to put forth their de nunclatfons against political changes. M. de Mont morency was the representatiTe of France at Con grass, and returned with: resolutions which the French Government so far refused to adopt as to oblige M. de Montmorency to quit the Fo reign Department. Two things seem - to us to be clearly established by this fact :—first, that M. de Montmorency returned with different opinions from those which lie had carried to the Congress; secondly, that the French Government is less disposed for war against Spain than the Congress. The note of M. de Villein was the result, of a solemn decision of the French Cabinet.not to declare war or to provoke war with Spain in the manner prescribed by Congress and advocated by M. de Montmorency. To this plain view of the case it would be perfect folly to oppose an asser tion that war may yet be occasioned by the rela tive situations of France and Spain. Could any termination of the discussions at Verona. and Paris have prevented this possibility ? being a positive act, would have been the only unequivocal decision for our Ultra reasoners : peace, being only a negation, cannot settle their ingenious doubts and assure their troubled spirits. [TU TI mrs.] The Journal des Debuts contains an article on the late changes in the Ministry. In this article M. de Mo►►tmorency is spoken of with the most mark ed respect, ag we should conceive, by the present Minister, or at least in conformity to his will. Still the argument remains the same : if the ex-Mini star had been of the same temper, on the neces sity of immediate war, wit!► those who continued in °dice, why did lie tender h►is resignation ? or why did not ti►e rest, being equally ardent for war, adopt the same step, if causes over which they had no control)! prevented the execution of their WibliCS, and go out with Montmorency ? It is now also the fashion, we perceive, of the war party, to praise M. de Chateaubriand, person undoubtedly entitled to all praise he stowed upon him ; but if he had been (as is insi nuated) equally ardent for war with Montmo rency, how could he conscientiously enter a. Mi idstry which the oilier through conscience had quitted ? There is a reason so obvious, why the present Ministry speak with respect of their late colleague, and why they travel to the utmost verge of their principles in menacing Spain with war, that it would be airectatiou to attempt concealing it. The Chambers are sum moned for the 28th instant; and to speak with entire decision upon that subject, upon which, after all, it rests with the Chambers to decide, would be premature, or rather 'precipitate.-- Neither does it indicate any doubt in the present Ministry, respecting the opinions of the Chambers on war or peace, to, leave the subject as much untouched as possible for their deliberations; respect for the Legislative bodies required so short a suspension. But we are not the more in clined on that account to believe the two Chambers capable of opening afresh the wounds of Eu rope, of endangering the tranquillity of the French king dom, and of exposing the new Government to the risk of an overthrow before it was consolidated, for the sake of interfering in the concerns of their neighbours. We would give M. de Villole all the advantage he can possibly derive towards securing his majorities, by the use of conciliatory language towards his late colleagues, and a me nacing tone against the Spaniards; but it is an absurd contradiction in the war-bigots, at once to abuse him for his pacific principles, and still to affect to infer from the articles which he is supposed to sanction, that he is equally hostile to Spain with themselves. [NEW TIM ES.? Consols for Account left off yesterday at 80} Spanish Bonds also have again dropped ; they were done yesterday below 55. The illoniieur of Tuesday contains au Ordounance convoking the Chambers for the '?Bth of this month, which is above a week earlier than they were expected to assemble. A Correspondent judiciously con eludes that the policy of the newly arganised Cabinet (if we may so speak) will not be fully developed till the meeting of the Chambers, and even then will take its hue in a great mea sure from the prevalent sentiments in those august Assemblies. If we were to faim any conjectures from the tone of the Journal des 1.). bats, we should say that M. de Villele was much less pacific than' certain persons have repre sented him to be. That Journal contains an article likely to produce au impression some. what different from some of its late produc tions. Its great object is to shew that M. de Villele firmly adheres to the determi nations concerted with the Allies at Verona, and -that he will " concur with them , in the most energetic measures, if the essential inte rests of France continue to be compromised."— It is justly observed that the Allies do not de mand of Spain any thing positive. They re quire that she should not pursue a coarse which is alike'prejudicial to herself and to all the rest of Europe. The French Note has been pub- lished. It certainly contains no positive de mand, and holds out. no positive menace. The writer in the Journal des D6bals asserts that the Notes of Russia, Austria, and Prussia are not more specific. And yet it is tolerably certain, that If the Government of Spain treats all these warning Notes with contempt, the consequence must, sooner or later, he a subversion of that Go vernment, either by civil warfare, or by foreign invasion. [MORNI NG HERALD.] The Paris Papers of the 31st ult. contain but I little intelligence, and rather provoke speculation upon the vertiginous politics of the French Ca binet, than throw any light upon the subject.— The Duke de Fitzjames, an ultra Royalist Peer, and descended, we suppose, de la main gauche, from James 11. is mentioned as the successor of M. de Chateaubriand, to the Embassy of London. The Chambers are to be convoked on the 28th. It is in timated in the Journals as probable, that the public mind and the money markets will continue 'more or less unsettled until then. There is an article in the Journal des Dbhats, the supposed —indeed admitted, organ of the Villele party, to which some importance will probably be given. Its main object is to convince the world that the difference between the retired Minister and Iris successful rival in the Cabinet was trilling.— " All," says this Journal, 64 that is permitted to conclude from the retirement of this Minister is, that on an. important point of discussion, his manner of viewing it was not completely in ac cord with the result of the Council, and that, as we said ut the time, by a sentiment, the very exaggeration of which is a virtue worthy of the highest praise, he has yielded to his personal feelings, without ceasing to be united id heart, views, and principles, with those from whom he separated himself." The shallow vagueness and ambiguity of expression in the first part of this sentence must strike the reader. It must be predi cated, with indisputable, though rather Jesuitical truth, of persons separated from each other by a very wide chasm of opinion, that they did not 44 completely" agree. The remaining part of the period is the best commentary upon what goes before. The more ardent Ultra-Royalists, who wished an immediate invasion of Spain, are en• raged at the retirement of M. de Montmorency, and the attendant disappointment of their hopes. Their opposition in the Journals, from the state of the French Press, is not openly or angrily expressed. It is 44 not loud but deep." Their animosity is not time less violent, but rather the more so from their both being recently but of one party. Now, the purpose of the Journal des bats is evidently to disarm and conciliate this party. Conciliation is the great tactic of M. de Villele. In this instance we doubt his success. He would 44 throw out the tub to the whale," by giving them hopes of war. But these hopes are not likely to satisfy them" after the substance has been snatched from their ►rasp. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. ( Prom The Dublin Correspondent, Dec. 28.) Addresses to his Excellency the Lard Lieute nant are pouring in from all parts of the kingdom. Men who never felt or thought alike upon any public occurrence, on this occasion boast a common feeling of horror united with in dignation—perfectly uniform, general, and national.--Nor is this concord limited merely to the feelings alluded to—it is just as general resPecting the admiration which has been pro &teed by. the conduct of the illustrious person at the head of the Government. Every day seems to increase the national interest in the character of this distinguished Nobleman, and what has been approbation with some has warmed into applause and panegyric intensely indulged has matured into expressions of affectionate attachment.- Whey who looked coldly at the measures of the Government a short time ago, because this was a variance distinguishable in them from what bad been I usual, are beginning to relax in the penury of their commends. tion ; for at last they have discovered that the state and con. dition of nations have their mutability like other things... that times and circumstances exact their compliances like other more simple necessities—that the diffusion of propertyc and the extension of education, produce great though very silent changes in the very substance of society—and that what may have been endurable as a custom or an observance, or as one of those civil rituals which are sometimes prac tised in a certain stage of civilization, becomes unsuitable, and often injurious in another and a more generally improved state of things. With this impression spreading and deepening in men's minds, many have been led to agree with us in opinion, that Ireland has long left that period behind, when any purpose conducive tQ interest or advantageous to national character could be effected, by periodical celebrations of the triumphs of one portion of the people, or the discomfitures of another—that, as a nation, we now touch a period of intelli gence and liberality, when we are bound to lay out our schemes of national prosperity and honour upon very different principles from riotous remembrances of civil wars, or puerile comme morations of intestine feuds. Those injurious and offensive habits have had their day ; but the present times disavow them —and all suture times must disown them ; until it shall be established as a fundamental maxim, that the more anger, strife, discord, and repulsion which prevail among a pestle, the greater and the happier they must become. It has been foreseen by many, that the practices to which we have been alluding must have an end—that they could not co-exist with the spirit of the present times ; and perhaps no better season could be selected for a mild and decisive disap probation of them, than the commencement of the reign of one of the most accomplished, as well as the most paternal Sove reigns that ever wore the triple Crown of the United Kingdoms —and , during the Lieutenancy in Ireland of one of the greatest Statesmen that ever shed a lustre upon high rank, and the greatest stations under the Royal. authority. • The first step has been taken in this important and necessary interference of the Executive -= and it will be persevered in with vigour and deter mination ;—and all silly evasion of its design, or absurd oppo sition to its operatiop, can only involve prejudice in difficulties, and obstinacy in perplexities. Policy and justice have pro nounced judgment upon this case—and from that judgment there is no appeal. While we have always contended for the neceeeity of suppressing all public manifestations of party spirit, which keep . alive heart-burnings among the people, and revive dissen sions that trouble the public quiet, and retard. the progress of morals and civilization, we are tar from approv ing of a vindictive species of policy which several of our contemporaries think proper to recommend. We desire it public quiet and public order; and, for the particular enor mity which has arisen out of the measures taken to preserve both, we shall see without sympathy the malefactors suffer the severest award of criminal justice ;—but many of our contem poraries are not satisfied with those matters, but call aloud for the suppression of Ortiner. Societies, mistaking, perhaps, their own habitual prejudices for a sense of public policy—just as the w off, went sent to school, could only learn the letters which for med the word agnas—Orangeisms forms the invariable sub ject of their reciamatious. But the history of Ireland :thews how little can be don e by the power of the most tremendous laws, when opposed to religious feelings and principles—and it is the purpose of the vleilosophy of history to go a little beyond dry facts, and to ex tract from them the honey of their wisdoM.— They who have our national fate in their keeping, know how to read aright the lore of history, and our counsel upon the sub ject is nut wanting. The grace with which Alderman Nugent was received by his Excellency on a very recent occasion, ap pears to have surprised a few, but we apprehend it is because they have listened too much to party tales, and exerted too in dolently their own understandings, that they are to attribute their wonder, and not to the circumstance itself. The Lord Lieutenant recognizes no distinctions of party—neither the flashy Protestantism of the Anti-Union Alderman, eor the calculating Catholicism of the most interested declaimer : with those extremes or with the softer distinctions peculiar to reli gious politics,liis Encellency does not meddle; for, as we have repeatedly affirmed, he does not attempt to set up any party, or to p u t do w n any party—his object manifestly i s, to govern all parties with an even and impartial hand—to prevent any one from troubling or injuring the other—to compel, if necessary, a cessation front all provocatives to -pub lic disturbance—and 'to enjoin, as fur as the force of of precept and example can hope to effect so happy a purpose, conciliatory habits among the great divisions into which differ. ent religious creeds have cast the people—mild, and generous, and placable conduct to each other—such as the general interest specially calls for—such as real religion, under all its modifi cations, inculcates and commands. The fanatic, in one case, may • snarl, because he thinks the King's Representative is going too far—and in another because he is not going far enough. Both are in error, because their prejudices are the guides to their understanding. Every other description of per sons, who haVe besets touched with a true sense of what is for the honour and interest of' this suffering country, are ready to do homage to a policy which avoids such irreconcilable ex tremes. DREADFUL FIRE. s lFrom the Dublin Mercantile Advertiser of Monday.] Y esterday morning, between one and two o'clock, an alarming fire broke out at the shop of Messrs. M'Donnel and M‘Cabe, oil and colour merchants, No. l'2B, North King-street, and from the highly inflammable nature of their stock, the whole premises soon presented the appearance of an entire mass of flame, threatening destruction to the whole neighbourhood. By the prompt at tention of Mr. Quinton, of the Pipe Water Office, an excellent supply of water was soon obtained, which enabled the fire engines of the Imperial and Sun Insurance Offices to play with considerable effect, so as to prevent the further progress of the devastating element.-- About this period it was discovered that the flames had communicated, at the rear, to one of the adjoining houses (Fagan's, a baker) ; this circumstance caused much alarm, and great fears were entertained for the safety of the entire range, the engines from the street not being able to afford much assistance, and it being imprac ticable to supply them with water at the rear.— The scene at this time was one calculated to excite the most. powerful emotions. The middle of the street, fora considerable length, was literally filled with the " little furniture," which the miserable inhabitants of the adjoining houses (most of them room-keepers) had removed ; the halls of the houses at the opposite side of the street were observed to be generally filled with wretched women and children nearly naked, whose , cries were most pitiable. On going to the rear of the house, we were much pleased by the admirable arrangements of the firemen. The fine new engine of the Imperial Insurance Company having the advantage of a great length of hose, which was brought round by Brown street, was enabled to play on the rear of the adjoining premises in the most effective manner, and soon quieted the fears of the inha bitants, who were most clamorous in their thanks and blessings to the active agent of the Imperial, Mr. JAMES PYM, jun. The Engineer of the Sun, from the roof of an adjoining house, gave the most effective assistance. The Sheriffs, with a large party of Police, horse and foot, were early in attendance, and unceasing in their efforts to preserve order and regularity. We are happy to say that no lives are lost, and that we have not heard of any accidents, but lament to cld, that none of the parties are insured, HENRY THE SEVENTH'S CHAPEL. The restoration of the outside of IlEmny the St MTH'S CHAPEL, is at length completed, the scaffolding at the west end, which was the last part of it that remained to be done, having been now removed for some weeks. To those who admir ed this elegant pile, even in its dilapidated state, it must afford great gratification to witness so elaborate a work conducted to its close, and that in a way which not only reflects the highest credit on the talents of the artist employed, but on the liberality of Parliament, which voted the necessary .supplies for carrying it on. As our readers will no doubt feel entertained with some account of the nature and progress of this re storation, which combines a good deal of inte resting and useful information, we shall make some extracts from a recent publication on the subject, with the sight of which we have just been favoured, and which we know is no where else to be met with. The publication to which we allude is by Mr. Cottingham, architect; who has given a series of plans, elevations, sections, and details of it, from actual admeasurement, ac companied by a memoir, furnished entirely from the communications, official and professional, of the persons concerned ; and which we have no doubt will soon meet with all the distinction and encouragement which so important and valuable a production deserves. The rapid decay of this building appears, for many years before a restoration of it was at tempted, to have caused the expenditure of con siderable sums for its repair. These had been usually supplied from what was termed the "Fab rick Fund" of the Abbey. But the fire which happened in the roof of the church there in 1803 (just as the Dean and Chapter were about to com mence a repair of the . Chapel on a large scale), and which occasioned them a loss of nearly 4,0001., put it entirely out of their power to do any more for it; and it at length became in many respects dangerous. In this situaton the late worthy Dean, Dr. Vincent, whose attention to the con cerns of this Chapel appears to have been un ceasing, and to whose exertions the public prin cipally owe its restoration, addressed, on the be half of himself and the Chapter,a Memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, accompanied by a letter, requesting permission to state to them different proposals which had been made for its repairs, as also to give in an estimate of expence, in order to procure their recommendation of the matter to Parliament. This request being acquiesced in, the Lords of the Treasury directed a letter to be written on the subject to the Committee for the Inspection of Models for National Monuments, &c., fo,r their advice as to the best mode of con ducting the repairs, as well. as opinion respecting the probable amount of the expellee. In their answer, the Committee offer any ad vice and assistance, but decline giving an opinion as to expence; a petition was therefore prepared in June, 1807, and presented to Parliament, statiug the decay of the fabric, and its immediate need of reparation ; that the Dean and Chapter wished the repairs " to proceed gradually, and for that purpose solicited a grant of 10001. an nually, and 10001. extraordinary for the first year, to meet immediate exigencies ; and that they wished to be placed under the directions of the Lords of the Treasury; and hoped to receive their instructions from the same authority. Mr. Wyatt, the architect, being examined in consequence of this application, reported that it would be difficult to fix the exact amount of the rfecessary and the ornamental repairs ; but he conceived the first would cost about 14,800/., and the latter about 10,4001., and that they might he completed in about three years. And his esti mate being taken into consideration, 2000/. was voted to begin the work with, accompanied by this remarkable observation of the Committee-- That grants for purposes of this description did not seem to come strictly within the class of be neficial grants made to individuals, or to bodies corporate, as in tha present instance the money was to be applied for, and was to be expended solely to prevent the dilapidation and decay of a great national monument of ancient taste and magnificence, consecrated to uses of a public na ture ; being the burial place of the Sovereigns of these kingdoms, and which came immediately within the notice and observation of the two .ilouses of Parliament." A number of interesting queries were put to Mr. Gayfere, the Abbey mason, by the Dean of Westminster, and Dr. Bell, immediately on this grant being made, relative to what stone the cha pel was built with, and what stone would be fit test to be used in the repair, according to the parts about which it should be employed ; whe ther the masonry was so totally decayed exter nally that the whole must have a new ashlering; what would be the thickness required for such ashlering or outward covering ; what would be the price to begin with of restoring a pair of the turrets, with their flying buttresses and tier of windows between ; whether the range of pin nacles at top, represented in old prints, ought to be restored to give the building its original beauty, and generally as to the then state of the masonry throughout the Chapel ? To all these satisfactory answers being return ed by Mr. Gayfere, and the Dean having re quested that the repair might be put under the direction of the Committee for National Monu ments just mentioned, a meeting of the gentlemen composing that Committee met at the Deanery House, 'Westminster, February 3, 1808, the llon. Charles Long (now Sir Charles), in the Chair, and Messrs. Wyatt and Gayfere in at tendance ; when, after certain inquiries as to the sort of stone best to be used, and the opi nion of the Committee being given thereon, Mr. Gayfere was directed to go to Bath, St. Alban's Abbey, Woburn Abbey, and other places, to inquire into the different qualities of the stone used in those places, and report thereon ; and that gentleman accordingly left town for the purpose on the 99th of February, and returned to town on the 9th of May following. Mr. Gay fere's report is extremely curious, and being accompanied with letters and documents, is rendered particularly interesting to the archi tect' and antiquary. The screen in the nave of St. Alban's Abbey, he fOund executed in the Tot tenhoe stone, in the highest state of preSeremikly and seemingly imperishable for internal work ; c b a u y t e t d h . e T exterior he sto stone r o t f s e o x t p h o e s r e d placesto the wt ai ) r i • sited had different defects, and he finally fou nd the finest stone, and most fit for the work, at the '9 quarries on Comb Down, south-east of Bathota d having ascertained the prices, and other pada. ) , lars, he entered into an agreement with th e owners, for a certain quantity to be immediate) ! sent to London. i t ande de cayed. The first cargo of stone, after several delays shipping it off, was unfortunately lost in its OP sage. This, and some further calculations asie r expence, had like to have spoiled the intended restoration altogether. The Committee x of ilia ; . House of Commons determined on the repair a certain parts only, and but for the steady resolned and representations of the Dean,we should inem a i of the present beautiful restoration, have pee; mere piece of patchwork. l'hat gentleman coati' ing this determination completely at variance W the former directions given him, ordered Mr.Get' . I fere,"unless stopped by the injunction of theiloaer of Commons," to proceed in the repairs as oriO't, 'laity intended by them, and he accordingly. gan the restoration of the first turret, on the 15P ! of the 3 July that of March tyear( 1810. (1809), and finished the sit e* on . Such is the account of the progress and impf ments at the beginning of this great work. le 1 ; account goes on to detail various examinattol , the Dean, &c. by the Committee of the Hower Commons, in consequence of this procedure Op', out their order, on the Chapter being obliged t t,i apply for more money ; in the course tif win e ' , there are a number of interesting statement l °': The cost of restoring the first turret which begun, termed, by way of distinction, the" Tower," was up to the time of the examinattOPV, about 1,039/. the flying buttresses not being thell' completed—(this included workmanship onlyttl, not stone), and the cost of carving up to the'llt; was 1161. The value of the wrought stone on the premises for the repair, was 8681.195. dt,'i The money that had been voted was expeadt and there was a debt of 3001. incurred. The .! suit of this examination 'proving satisfacti)l„ 1,500/. more was voted to ca rr y on the work, a second turret was begun andfinished in less thet seven mouths. From this period the supplies repair proceeded regularly, though not sfit ll " 7 some observations as to expence. The angular dow at the east end, was begun, Jan. 26, 1811,1 finished on the 11 th of the following June. I ' l Dean's order to begin the upper parapet, is date March 19, 1811. Other remaining parts rief . begun and finished, with the like dispatch, not: the year 18'21, when the lower turrets at 1 7; south-west corner were finished, and the wha work finally completed, with the exception of ttP:l west front and its turrets, now also perfectlY l4 :', stored.
