THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts. from the Morning Papers, May 30. N w His Royal Highness the Duke of Angouleme entered Madrid on Saturday last, the 24th, at nine in the morning. Ills advanced guard had occupied that capital on the day preceding. — These two facts may serve to explain a little article in The Morning Chronicle of yesterday, which was conceived in the following terms : " We regret to learn, that the Geueral Meeting for the relief of Spain, announced for Monday next, is to he postponed till the ensuing week." A very wise and prudent resolution ; only for the words tc till the ensuing week," we appre hended we ought to read 44 sine The , Times too has already begun to rat. " If'' the Spaniards are to be so subdued," says that consistent Journal, 44 they deserve no better fate." Now, this might wend pretty well, if it had not been said before ; but we were told in January and February 1821 that the Neapolitans were heroes, Hans, prodigies of va lour, and miracles of patriotism. In the April following they were conquered ; and then The Times found out that they " deserved no better fate." Tlie fact is, that what we have said and repeated over and over again—whit we have been abused, slandered, and calumniated in the most base and infamous manner for asserting, now turns out to be true. We have bad to encounter not merely popular prejudice, but the opinions of men whom we most highly respect —we have had to oppose the errors of all parties, and to make -a sure and certain sacrifice of our own interest—or else to 'abandon the great and paramount duty of a Public Jonranlist : ---the speaking of the truth. It will at least-be granted that we did not do our duty by halves,—The false and calumnious iosinuations" against- our motives, for doing what we have done, pass by us like the idle wind. We disdain to notice ma lignity so vile, and folly so prepostOrous. But the justice which we Claim of our friends, as well u s of our foes, is to look back upon our opinions and see whether they were not cor rect—to examine our statements and say whether they were not true. We know well that we have been called Ultras, Serviles, Ministe rial Hirelings, Pensioners of the Bourbons.— All this moves us not a jot more than the scur rility of Ilene or The Times. It is our pride to know that we have written more and longer ill support of the practical principles of true Li berty then any other living Writer, be he who he may.—Especially have we laboured to pro mote the cause of real freedom in Spain ; and not less within the last twelvemonth than we did Nvidle Wellington was wresting tho Peninsula from the gripe of Buonttparte. We say distinctly and decisively that Louis XVIII. has conferred an inestimable benefit on Europe by putting an cmi to the tyranny of the Jacobins in Spain ; but if he should attempt to go further, and to subject Spain, directly or indirectly, to his own authority, then, we say as decisively and as distinctly, be ought to be resisted by the whole power of ling- land, and sooner or later he would be made to desist from his pretensions. We certainly do not apprehended that the present French King, or any of his successors in our time, will engage in so rash and perilous an enterprise. We believe that France wilt cordially join with England in securing to Spain a free and independent Govern ment; because it' is as obviously her interest as it is her duty to do so. Not that we desire to see either England or France too, busy in tinker ing up a Constitution for a third country. Let us at length be wise enoukh to learn that all na tions have their own ideas of freedom, their own habits of enjoy meet. their own views of prospe rity and well-heistg. The Jacobin faction being lut down in Spain, King Ferdinand ought to be eft as much as post,ible to Spanish counsels; and the path pointed out by his own Proclamation in 1814—a path from which he ought never to have swerved—is that which we should now wish to see him to follow. [MORNING cnitoNtet,c.] By letters lately received from Seville, we regret to learn that the town and places adjoin ing are not so. Constitutional as vie had hoped they were, and that the. Cortes were in a critical situation owing to the change of Ministers, in consequence of their having expressed a desire to negnciate, which it was feared a majority would second. Indeed our letters add that the French expect to settle every thing in a few days. We lament that such a termination of so gallant a struggle for liberty should be expected ; but our information is of that nature that we cannot with hold it. We hope the expectation will not be realized. If, it be, all we can say is, we hope the Cortes will meet their deserts ; for , in that case it ‘vill be difficult to equal them in baseness and imbecility. A great dent of mystery still hangs over the affair of Abishal, for it appears that the exist ence of a plan to write to him through the me dium of Montijo was known both in Paris and London three weeks ago, and ,also that Abisbal's answer would be published as soon as it was re ceived. Had he been inclined to serve the in terests of the French by treason, on a grand scale against his country, he would have kept the cam mend of his army till the French got near Ma drid; yet, on. the 29th of April, he sent oil nine squadrons of cavalry to Badajoz, conformably to the orders of Government, a quantity of powder, and 200 prisoners belonging to the revolte'd Guards. There is something very curious in this affair. Time will chew what it is.--(ibid.) [BRITISH PRESS.] The Courier triumphs in the idea that the meet ing to aid the *Spanish people is indefinitely de. ferred. This is a feeling worthy of this paper, which exulted in the butchery of the Greeks by the savage Turks—in the enslavement and op. pression of Italy; and that for years has slander. ed and vituperated freedom, wherever it raised its bead throughout the world. But in this instance the Courier reckons without its Isost. The meet ing of the friends of Spanish liberty is only de ferred to bring it forward with greater effect and energy. There has been no intelligence from Spain to damp the best hopes of the friends of freedom ; on the contrary, every-post speaks increasing effort and resistance against the in vaders. Whether Abisbal is a prisoner or still free, his defection lessens nothing of the con stitutional strength oT ,Spain. Mina, Banes teros, Morillo, the Empecinado, and the Pastor, are still in the field, and each day their forces are increasing. All that is wanted in Spain are arms and money. With these, her population, devoted to the Constitution, would unite in thou sands. The cause is one every way worthy of Me support of this great country. If liberty be crushed in Western Europe, Britain will stand alone amid confederated tyrants, and her quar rel will be the next. We hope to see the intended meeting here most numerously and re spectably attended. It is a cause from the support of which no friend to liberty and ra tional religion should be absent. If Angou leme succeeds in Spain, the gloomy despotism bf the faithless Ferdinand, and the horrors of the Inquisition, will be revived. Already the dungeons are filled, and the reign of terror has commenced wherever the French troops have penetrated. The bloodhounds of the Faith have been let loose to carnage ; and Saragossa, filled with murder, is only one dreadful example of the scenes about to be acted all through Spain. The game bloody tragedy will follow wherever the ecclesiastics and monks have returned, with the ruffians of the Faith as their sanguinary executioners. The deeds of these wretches, and the objects of the faction who have invaded Spain, are abhorred by the people of this country ; they are opposed alike to their political and religious feelings. The courier is not the organ of the people of England, or of any respectable portion of that people. Its vile rind venal principles are utterly foreign to their hearts. Their wishes accorripany the Spaniards in their present glorious struggle against foreign force, and in their chivalrous resistance to one of the most atrocious attacks ever directed against the rights and liberties of any nation. This country rescued Spain, by unparalleled exertion, from French thraldom before ; and though the Ministry of England may not commit the i re sources of the nation by a formal war, t is in our power to afford the Spaniards 'the most essential aid. Apathy under the pre sent state of things in Europe would be disgrace ful to this country. We hope therefore to see in the coming week a meeting assembled worthy of this great city, and of the sacred cause in support of which it is about to be convened; and we trust that meeting will not stand alone, but will be a signal to the entire country to meet and unite, for the same great purpose, and afford efficient aid, by its generous contributions both in money and arms, to the brave Spaniards,aad thus defeat the objects of the_ confederated despots now leagued against that country, and united to trample down liberty throughout Europe. [MORNING POEM] The Petition to the House of Commons of the individual now under prosecution for a libel as the publisher of the " Vision of Judgment," a poem forming part, as our Readers probably may recollect,of the first number of the Liberal," in which that Gentleman complains of the manner of striking the Special Jury by which he is to be tried, is deserving °Nome notice. This Petition was presented by Mr. Hume, and gave rise to some conversation, during the progress of Which that lion. Member expressed his intention to submit a measure next Session to improve the method of striking Special Juries. Whether the method to be proposed . may be more free from objection than that now in use, may be very rationally doubted. At all events it is clear, from the si- Jence of those who most' warmly attack the pre sent course, that the practical evils which result from it are yet to be discovered. We are not, however, disposed to contend, that even theoretic imperfection, in a matter of this importance, ought to he, disregarded. Purity in the administration of justice ought unquestionably, to be rescued as far as possible, from any dependence upon in dividual character. if there is any way left open by which partiality may even approach the stunt 'Wary of the laws, the most effectual bulwarks should be erected to repel the unhallowed intru sion. Those who loudly declaim against a sys tem so favourable as they allege to the commis sion of injustice, and at the same moment confess themselves unable to produce an instance in which injustice has been actually committed, are pro. liably not quite aware of the conclusion to which their statements necessarily lead. A conclusion honourable to the character of Government, in exact proportion as their denunciations of this source of possible abuse are well founded.—The more easily the temple of Justice might have been invaded, the greater merit in having kept it so entirely free from profanation. We believe that there has never existed in the world a Go. vernment so incessantly assailed by libels the most gross, malignant, and atrocious—never one to, which the feelings of resentment and hos tility against certain classes of political writers could have been more natural and excusable; —yet with all these provocations, and with the full means of secure and easy vengeance (unless_ the complaints are altogether ideal), we find by the unanimous acknowledgments of their adversaries, that they have disdained the device of placing in a situation of great public importance a subservient officer, and have committed the interests of justice to one whose integrity and impartiality are allowed practically to countervail the defects of the system he, su.- perintends. The popular complaints of the system of striking Special Juries, when thus considered, shed a lustre upon the character of Administration, in which it would shine more glorious than In ,the fullest splendour of all its other excellent and noble" qualities.,Some rays of this glory, however, ought we think to f a ll upon the character of the English people. The 41°4 inspection of an acute and enlightened nation is more constantly and jealously directed to wards those departments of the national affairs, where, from theoretic imperfection, abuses may obtain their easiest access. Public opinion directs its most anxious cares, and exerts its utmost force, wherever the public interest seems to be the least effectually guarded. We are not quite certain that this watchful and active spirit, in a nation like England, should be left without its appropriate objects; and it is this, among other reasons, which leads us to think, that in its eager ness for speculative improvement, it frequently pursues a doubtful good. [Tut TIMES.] Sir Henry Parnell has given notice s that he will this day move as an Amendment, on the se cond rending of the Irish Insurrection Bill, " For the appointment of a - secret Committee, to " inquire into the extent and object of the dis " turbances existing in Ireland." Ministers are not fond of secret or any other Committees, except for purposes of their own. Had their object at present been to exaggerate an existing evil, with intent to apply some novel mode of restraint and severity as w cure for it, they would have produced their Green Bag—that expedient which never fails them; and would have named some score or so of persons to inspect it, the , most renowned for readiness at the discovery of crimes and punish ments. But the Government is not yet run so hard. The mischief need not—alas ! it cannot —be exaggerated, nor can the system of coercion already employed be exceeded, inasmuch as un der it every inhabitant of Ireland is, at the dis.. cretion of the Lord Lieutenant, placed beyond the protection of the law. What harshness, indeed, can outstrip the imprisonment of a family in their own house after nine o'clock every evening—and this at a season of the year when much useful work might be performed, after that hour—unless it be the turning people out of their houses, setting on fire the deserted dwellings, and driving a whole population, as in the year 1798, to take re fuge in that rebel camp;where, if found, they are shot,or turned over to the , hangman ? Now, it is because the actual state of Ireland sets all ex aggeration at defiance., and because Ministers have DO remedies to propose but such as are old and inef fectual that we are-anxious for the success of Sir 11. ParneWs motion—for the institution of some new method of inquiry—for an attestation and descrip tion of facts, by some authority less suspected than that of men in office—and for the suggestion of some remedy (if that should be practicable) not composed exclusively 01 1 hemp and gunpowder. See what has been done in Ireland ; and how much remains to be effected. All Europe has advanced in the tuts of civilization, and in the en joyments of life, Ireland alone excepted. A fourth part of the globe—the whole continent of America—has been, morally speaking, creat ed—has grown from infancy to manhood in the last three wonder-working centuries, which yet have worked no other miracle like that of re.. .raining Ireland what she was at their cor n - , in , nc , inen t— one d eo o f m isery, turbulence, and confusion. It is inconceivable how much the forms and the names of things have changed— how much the exterior of variety has been re sorted to, for, by, and against, that singular nation ; and in whatever concerns the substance of their condition, how they stand unaltered ! Repeated conquests have produced no inter mixture of the people with their conquerors.— The Reformation and the Revolution, whence England dates all that she enjoys, were barren gifts to a barbarous and ill-fated 'race ; from the first they drew no light, from the last no liberty. In 110 one phasis, and under no cir cumstance, has' the institution of a Parliament answered, with regard to Ireland, the ends for which it was established. Before 1782, it was a slave to the English merchant ; from 1782 to 1800, a slave to the B r iti s h Mi n ister. — Separate - from that of England, it gavo no independence to its countrymen ; merged in that of England, it has failed to, bring with it their affections. The Catholics are more dissatisfied than before they were partially made free, because the lowest orders of Popish pea santry, at once savages and vassals, were let into the constitution, while the nobles and gentlemen were shut out. Yet, the excluded part is loyal, while the favoured are insurgents against the laws : these insurgents have but one aim—it is to make war upon property of every Aenomina tion against the State, as such, they have no de sign. They are destitute of leaders to make them formidable, except as banditti ; but in their character of banditti, they are more for midable than. if they assumed the name, and carried on the operations, of a rebel army. By any measures which they have yet proposed, Ministers, it is plain, have touched only the surface of this dreadful malady. The Commutation-bill, which report gays will be thrown nut, might have some tendency to do gond hereafter. But M rtGoul burn's I nsurrectionA ct will only lay thefoundation of another such act, and of others hereafter, in end less progression ; it is mere force, which always reproduces force ; and we want wisdom. If a committee be the seat of wisdom, we trust the Proposition Will not be at once rejected. 'THE SCILLY IsLANDs.—In consequence of re presentations lately made to Government, respecting the die- . tressed condition of the poo r of the Oil Islands, the Lords of the Treasury have granted through the Commissariat 100 quar ters of corn, to supply the most necessitous with food ; and have authorized the advance of 1001. far die purchase of cloth. ing, &c. Yesterday, according to annual custom (on the .9th of May), all the in-pensioners at Chel sea College appeared in their new clothing, and at one o'clock they were all mustered in the great square; where they were review ed, and, fired. a feu de joie in honour of the '(h y---all had boughs or oak in their hats.— They were afterwards regaled with bread and cheese in the Great Hall and each of them was 'supplied with half a gallon of strong ale. The first toast from the officer who commapdeds was, " The Memory of the Royal. Founderi" which was drank in solemn silence. " The King and Rival Family" were afterwards drank, und prayer for the King was read by the Chaplain. On Wednesday seven men fined in the Police Court the sum, of ss. each for distributing hand. hills on the street', that being declared a nuisanca by the Police Act.--(Edinhurgh Even. Courant.) ROYAL OAK DAY. THE TWENTY.NINTIIOT MAY says the author • of a loyal work, printed in 1678 t ' is celebrated upon a double account ; first, in commemoration of the birth of our Sovereign King CHARLES the Second, the princely son of his Royal Father Charles the First, of happy memory, and Mary, the daughter of Henry the Fourth, the French King, who was born the 29th day of May, 1630; and also by - an Act of Parliament 12 Car. It., by the passionate desires of the people, in memory of Ills MOST !lA/TY RESTORATION to his Crown and dignity, after twelve years forced exile from his undoubted right, the Crown of England, by barbarous rebels and regicides. And on the Sth of this month, his Majesty was, with universal joy and great acclamation, proclaimed in London and WestminSter, and after throughout his domi nions. The 16th; he tame to the Hague; the 23d, with his two brothers, embarqued for Eng.' land ; and on the 25th, he happily landed at Dover, being received by General Monk, and some 'of the army, from whence he was by several voluntary troops of the nobility and gentry wait ' ed upon to Canterbury ; and on the 29th, 1660, he made his magnifiCent entrance into that em porium of Europe, his stately and rich metro polis, the renowned city of London. On this very day also, anno 1662, the King came to Hampton Court with his Queen Catherine after his marriage at Portsmouth. This, 'as it is birth. day, is one of his collar-days without' offering." It was the custom, some years since, to deco rate the monument 'of Richard Pendrell (the King's preserver), which stands in the church yard of St. Giles in the Fields, London, with oak branches on the annual return of this festival ; but the custom, from the increasing distance of time from the event, has been of late discon tinued ; and the vulgar demonstration of respect for the day is now chiefly confined to the wear., ing of gilded oak leaves. Pendrell's Monument, which is not generally known to be in existence, still remains perfect near the east corner of the church, and is care fully kept.up' by the parishioners. It is proba, ble that he was an inhabitant here, as the name occurs at various times in the parish books, (lu ring the reign of Charles IL, and one of the Pendrells is also mentioned as being overseer. The inscription on the monument may be interest- . ing to the reader. It is as follows " Here lyeth Richard Pendrell, preserver and conductor of his Sacred Majesty King Charles IL, of Great Britain 7 after his escape front \Worcester Fight, in the year 1651, who died Feb. 8, 1671." " Hold passenger,:_here'sithrouded,in this hearse.. UnparallePd . Pendrell tbro' tile universe. Like when the eastern star from iletiv'n gave light, - To three lost Kings, so he in such daft; night To Britain's Monarch, toss'd by adverse war, On earth appear'd a second eastern star : A. pole a-stern in her rebellious main, A pilot to her Royal Sovereign . Now to triumph'in fleavin's eternal sphere, He's hence advanc'd for his just steendge here ; Whilst Albion's Chronicles, with ',matchless-fame Embalm the story of great Pendrell's name." The Royal Oak was standing in Dr. Stuke ley's time (1724),Inclosed with a brick wall,but almost cut away in the middle, by travellers whose curiosity led then to see it. The Doctor thus notices it in his hincrarium Curiosuni. 44 A bow shot from Boscobel House, just by a horse track passing through a wood, stood the Royal Oak, lute, which the King and his companion, Colonel Carlos, climbed by means of the hen roost ladder, when they judge it no longer safe to stay in the house; the family reaching them vic tuals with the nut-hook., The tree is now inclosed in with a brick wall, the inside whereof is covered with a laurel, of which we may say as Ovid did of that before the Augustan Palace,' mediamque tue here quercum.' Close by its side grows a young thriving plant from one of its acorns. Over the door of the inclosure I took this inscription, which is cut in marble " Felicissimam arborem gnaw in asylum potentissimi Regis ;Awl' 11. Deus 0 M. per quern reges regnant bic crescere vo luit, tam in perpetunm rei tantte memoriam, quam specimen iirmte in reps fidei, muro cinctam posteris commandant Basi lius et Jena Fitzherbert.—Quercus Arnica Jovi.", " The King, after the Restoration, reviewing the place, curried some of the acorns, and set them in St. James's-park or garden, and used to water them himself." . In, 'Carolina, or Loyal Poems, by Thomas Shipman (1683), ace the following: thoughts on 'the subject : " Blest Charles then to an oak has safety owes ; The Royal Oak ! which now in songs shall live, Until it reach to heaven with its boughs ' • Boughs that ' for loyalty shall garlands give. Let celebrated wits, with lautel crown'd; And wreaths of bays, .boast their ttiuMphant,brows; • I will esteem myself far more renown'd, In being honour'd with-these oaken boughs. The Gerd of the Druids hover'd here, Who.under oaks did Britain's glories sing ; Whicksinco in Charles completed did appear, They gladly came now to protect their Icing." " They are hastening the preparations for his Majesty's reception into the City," says the Ater- curius Publicus, of May 24, 1660, which will be as magnificent as possibly the time will permit. 'Fite Lord Mayor, Alderman, and chief officers, with choice citizens of ail companies, to the num ber of about GOO, all go out in horseback, babited in velvet and other costly apparel, with chains of gold, rich liveries, Scc. The streets from the bridge to Temple-bar, are to be guarded, on the one side, by all the forces of the trained bands; on the other side, by the liveries of the compa nies, 84c. ; the houses all the way towards the streets, are to be covered with tapestry and other hangings. " Divers maidens, on behalf of themselves and others, have presented a petition to the Lord Mayor; wherein they pray his Lordship to grant them liberty to meet his Majesty, an the day of his passage through the'city, clad in white waist coats and other ornaments of triumph." There follows an account in a subsequent paper, of the King's progress to town from Dover, and the Royal procession alluded to At Blackheath the King reviewed the corn pany, uho were all drawn up ready to receive him, on whom he bestowed various compli ments, and was greeted in return " with loud sitoutings and rejoicings." At night there were various bonfires rnath.op the heath, " and one more " Vesta Angio-Romapa." temarkable than the rest of , his bigness ; where the States arms were burned." At St. George's-fields the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London waited to receive him mrder a magnificent tent, where the ceremony of delivering and redelivering the city state sword took place. From thenee the procession went over London-bridge to Whitehall-place. All 'he streets from the,bridge to Temple-bar were richly hnng with tapestry, the companies lining the way in their liveries, with banners and streamers flying. The dresses of the numerous Nobility, citizens, &c. composing the procession, or otherwise in attendance, are described as par ticularly superb, some being in velvet coats, with their footmen and liveries in purple; others with buff coats, silver sleeves, and greeh scarfi ; one troop .had blue liveries and silver lace ; another red, another tawny, and so on. The Liverymen of the different Companies were all dressed in black velvet coats, with gold chains,' with their footmen in liveries, of red and white, pink and white, blue, yellow, and other colours. The Lord Mayor wore his richest robes of office, and the Aldermen their scarlet gowns and gold chains. The King rode between his two brothers, the Dukes of York and Glouces ter, under a magnificent. canopy, followed by a troop, bare, with white colours. The solemni ties of the day were concluded by an infinite number of bonfires, and among the rest, in Wes terminster, was a very costly one, where the effigies, adds the account, " of old Oliver Crom well was set upon a high post, with the arms of the commonwealth, which, having been exposed there awhile to the public view, with torches lighted, that every one might take better notice► of them, were burnt together." The character of Charles 11. was composed of very different materials from those of most men. Adversity, which is generally acknowledged to be the best monitor in the Government of life, seems to have had little effect upon him, unless we admit the , probability that he might have acted, with still greater impropriety, had not Boscobel Wood, and the Royal Oak, sometimes reminded him of his almost miraculous steps to the throne of his ancestors.. It is said by his enemies that he had an unaccountable partiality in his very early age for a billet of wood, which he was in the habit of carrying in his arms during the day, and sleeping with at night. " On Monk's coming to London, 1659-60," say the Aubrey MSS., " his countryman Sir Ralph Sydenham went and dined with him, and after dinner told him yt. GOD had put a good op portunity into his hands kinuendo) for restoring the K.; to which he gave an indefinite answer, and sayd he should doe like an honest man. Wc yt. were Sir Ralph's acquaintance, were longing for his comeing home to supper for the Generall's answer, who kept him till 9at night. He after the K's restoration got him made master of the Charter-house." And in further proof how cautiously the Ge neral acted in the business of the Restoration, it is added, " He, G.M. lay in Draper's Hall, in Throgmorton-street. Cot. Massey (Sir 'Edward afterwards), and T. Morrie, every day were tampering with G.M. as also Col. Robinson (afterwards Lieutenant of the Tower), whom I remember they accounted not so wise as King Solomon, and they could not. find any , inclina tion or propensity in G. M. for their purpose, so to be instrumental to bring in the King. Every night late, I had an account of all these tran sactions tt-bed, and I remember in the maine, they were satisfied he nor , intended or designed the K.'s Restauration when he came into Eng land, or first came to London, than his horse did ; but shortly afterwards finding himselfe at a insse, and that he was (purposely) made odious to the city, and that hg ;was a lost man by the Parliament, and that the generalitie of the cittie and countrey were for the restoring the King, having long groaned under other governmems, he had no way to anvil himselfe, but to close v,ith the cittie,"&c.—(llky 29.)
