.LONDON JOURNA . . • DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, May 23. [MORNING HERALD.] In the House of Lords, last night, Lord Laos: down asked, What we . thOught a queer 'question of the Ministers. it was to this effect—hat there been a Convention as to the military occupancy of.'s*itzerlatiti- by Austria is. well known that Switzet land once ,belonged • to. Austria.. is ,also well known, as tr principle in human na ture, that what we once have had, we aro.always hankering after, and that we never rest satisOed witti.l.we are again in .possession of that have lost. Now our belief is, that Austria,longa for the . re-pos.session , of Switzerland, part of. her ancient. dominions, and that she, will , ,leave no stone unturned until she is again master of that country. 13nt we also believe, that as : soon. as she has every thing ..in readiness to seize. on Switzerlpd,,, she will do it .without asking the i perMission 'of either Lord Liverpool, Lord Linstlown,, or John Bull himself. ,In just the s a me manner, the , French, under the Duke of Angouleme, marched int o S pa in in spite of even, Lord Wellington's remonsirances— that great general, who had bealen Buonaparte, the beater of all the European Continental, igmperors, Kings, and their Generals, What Austria finds it convenient to do as to Switzer land, we believ . eShe will do; and we think the time is fast approaching when she will again take possession of that, country, from, which William 'fell, and those whom he 'inspired with.enthu siasm,, drove the AustrianS in former times. It is singular to' see how the world 'change's, and that that which is brought about in one century, -should be liable to he so singularly' overturned in another. The best speech we have heard for a longtime least, .in our opinion----is the.,speech which Mr. Brougham made on ‘Vednesday night, and which.appeared in the Morning . herald yes tertley,. It wns.in opposition to a Bill Whieh Mr. Martin brought into the House of Commons to do away, with the horrid, unchristianlike amuse. rent of bull-baiting. The speech is so excellent that we, be; our readers to . peruse it again. It is 't Mr Itionotwr said he would take - that opportunity' of giving notice that he would opose the 13111, unless the Hon. lqember would introduce words to prevent the rich as well as "the poor 11'ot - it indulging in all those sports„ which were found -A ninflicting cruelty on,, some animals. lie was as great an enemy as any one to animal as well as human torture. But he could not see why the poor should be curtailed in their plea sures, while the rich were allowed the fulleSt indulgenee. lie would, therefore, iippoSe the Bill, unless the lion. Member amended it by introducing the words fishing, grouse shooting, partridge shooting to lin-Ming, hare hunting, &c. fie 'weak' oppose any Bill anal ,tended to draw a distinction between the . rich and poor classes.' •. :The chief reason why we ao much like this speech thut it is at knock - at cant, which is one of. the vices of this " enlightened age," as it is called : by such as wish to be designated " enlightened .roen." 'We quite agree with Mr. Brougham, in the opinion, that there cannot he the least differ. ence betyteen beating a bull, or riding on horse. back with a pack of bounds after o hare, a stag ,or a fox, until the latter aniMals break their hearts, and become a prey to the dogs and. the huntsmen. .T 4 speeches in opposition ,to Mr. Brougham's speech .were, in , our, .opinion, very flidisy, and especially those proceeding from gentlemen who are occasionally seen ot ;Meetings; for the purpose of distributing, among the ,liee.4 then the sublime precepts ,of Jesus Christ through the means of the NeW Testament, or gentlemen who if they do not appear at those meetings; take to themselves the,merit of promoting their interest by subscribing ,to them. We cannot dismiss this subject without saying, that we smiled whew we. saw, after ,this 0014 of Mr. Brougham's, the hurry with which a great pert of the house was in to get rid of .Mr. Martin's trod Mr. Broughum's Formed amendinent to tliat B i it .--(lbid.) [JAE TIME-$.3 Same anxiety has prevailed of late respec a design attributed t 9, the Itoly Alliance of occupy.. jog S w itzerliwi with its armies. A question was asked in each House. of Parliament last night upon, this very interesting subject. Allusion wad made by. Lord Lansdown end, Mr. Brougham tO ti treaty said to have been signed in March, by' virtue of which the troops of Austria were to take possession of the Cantons. But our Ministers had heard nothimr, of any such treaty or con vention, personally or, otlicially. Now this .might satisfy reasonable men, if it were not on record in what profound ignorance the same Ministers had been kept by their Allies, of , the • schemes w they meditated against the panish nation. If it he the interest of the Bourbons and the other despots to go on deceiv . Ing our credulous Cabinet, why it is plain enough that the deception will be practised, as it. has already been. The French Ministerial pa pers, we observe, deny, not that a treaty for the ucttpation of Swic4erlan4 has been signed, but that any demand has • yet bean made upon the Swiss for permission to execute such a treaty. We would out giye a straw for such denials' ordisavowals , front, those, who bad the face to declare that. the French Army of the P reete3 was only to ward , the Barcelona fe ver. ' It Is a just consequence of one fraud, that: the party who commits it is:'ever afterwards suspected of dishonesty ; and the fruit of a cri minal outrage is, that the perpetrators excite 'ahicrn for the safety of others besides their pre ,sent victims. it is natural to fear an attack on, f-hritzerland fro" the tyrants of. Italy, and the 64:1ared Vaelllks of the tipanhtrds, witether.be co use the Republic is the seat of freedom, the • key to Italy, or th e -high road to Spa in. It is curious, too, that the crusade over the Pyrenees on behalf of peace and order should fill all Po rope with disquietude, , and that the English Cabinet, whose neutral posttton ought to ,clairn for-it,uf least the proverbial advantage or " looker-on," shoul d he, 4kbat body in the whole world which sees least of what is going format!. [MORNING CIIRONICI.E.I The answer gve by Mr. Canning to a ques tion put by Mr. Itu n rne in the House of Commons last night, is of the greatest importance to the Greeks, and the cause for which they are strug gling. 'the liberal policy of.the British Govern ment, in giving strict orders that the blockades of the Greeks and Turks should be equally re:. spected, does Mr. Canning great credit,. an we hope will have most important results in Greece. It is true that on many occasions the fortresses ,in :the Morea held by the, r l t ilrlcST WhOtP.On the ,point of surrendering% have been relieved .by ,they ships...of _Austria,: and . England, which ought to have., remained neutral in the , con T. test. :We have various statements of the cell .duct of some of.,.the British. cruisers before Napoli di ; ; Romania, at ..Patras and Lepanto, which we refrain from publishing, as we hope much of the relatiens, may not,. be correct and also in hope that the late orders sent by the British Government will put Re end to such con duct. I \Nre hope,.also that the conduct of the British Consuls, hitherto, we are sorry to' state, very ittimice) to the Greeks and the cause of free dom, will also be, changed, and that, hoth by land andsea, We. shall coutemplate the Greeks as our Christian hrethren, struggling against the most odious tyranny that exists in the workL ' It is no longer the struggle of a few for their freedom, but the efforts of a w hole nation,combating single hand ed against their oppressors for libertyand existence. hitherto the obstacles have been InVny, and the separate and distinct cOmmandi of the several Chiefs have prevented that union of action, which alone can accomplish great works. Now a Repre sentative Government ;is .establisbed at Napoli di Romania, the Gibraltar of Greece, and. we are assured that upwards of 70 of the Representatives had arrived to form. a: Congress far the dispatch of business,and the regeneration of the Greek nation, and from their conduct hitherto we may look for the most favourahlo result. The surprising exer tions made by sett - redound to the honour and en- terprise of the Greeks in . a higher degree than their efforts by land.. They have converted every square-rimed vessel into a ship of war, and for the past five months their flag has been triumph ant in the Levant. Not a,Turkish flag, has been able to keep the sea. The,itifant navy of Greece has defeated and disPerSed the ancient and large force of Turkey—the Vower that, at no distant period, struck terror to'the Christian world, has been humbled by its own Christian subjects. L ettntsn enass.J We were happy, last night, to hear, for the first time, liberal sentiments, becoming this country, .avowed - towards the brave Greeks, and a respect for liberty on classic g_round,'endeared to the memory by a - thousand glorious.recollec tions—aiOwed by the ostensible Minister of, Great Britain, in his place. Mr. Hume asked the Foreign Secretary whetherhis Majesty's Go. vernment had given orders to respect.theblockade by the Greeks, where. it was bona fide existing.' Mr. arming, with,a candour and liberality that are honourable to , a :Minister, answered--that it was true, in one. instance, that a Greek blockade, according to all the laws of war, had been violated ,by a Ariti§h cruizer ; hut. it saw equally true, that, in consequence of, that viola tion, orders had been given to. prevent such en croachments for the future. :the maritime power of Great Britain is the only one the Greeks had to fear, and this declaration of the. British Minister at once frees theM from any. alarm no contest of this sort. The Austrian ; has no naval force. With "the few ships this despotic power could send from Trieste and, Venice, she endeavoured to break through the Greek blecipde, and throw supplies into Napoli di Romania, liatras, and CorinthOo the beSieged Turks ; but the Greek navy, whiCh scourecl: all those seas, was- more titan equal to any attempt of the , Anstrien,on. that ,elprogra. riq Greeks in the Morea are now awaiting, perhaps, the , closing struggle against the Ottoman „power,' n' 'the tremendous expedition , preparing:- by he barbarian Court against them. They are themselves assured of_ their success, and sing ing. the song, of. victory ; and with oily 4.11 th 11PUtrality ,on the part of the Eurol;ean'PeWers, we have ourselves no doubt that the present' et 4 tempt of. the Moslem,. like all his past,.will eticl in hi. own defeat, and the complete „triumph of the Greeks., .We hope yet to see, : that country, the scene - of' so many great and imperishable re. collections, Avitlo,ta people free and happy, and stieOce and civilization' again spreading their in. lluence through that fair and classic land. INEW TIMES.) French Papers have.been received to Wedues day afternoon, They contain ,news from th Western , Allied Army to the I,sth instant ; from the Eastern , Allied Army to, the saute date ; and 'from Seville to the ld. The ,accounts from Seville are extremely fiat and nninteresting. Some of the newly..named Ministers, have de.. dined accepting office. The"liberty of the pros's has been, clearly. evinced by suppressing one Journal, which published unpleasant, news, and ordering all the other Journals to take their information of public events, from ,nobody but the Ministers! (What say you to that, Messrs. Chropick andl'iptesl)—giego, who keeps at a cautious distance from the enemy, and who has had a pension settled on him :.for. heading the, mutiny ef I$2Q, desires to, convert the said pen sion into a eapital sum, which he protpises to employ in raising a free corps.

We may, however, from what has g one before, form conjectures of what is to succeed. The " course of events" which, as The Chronicle with ,so much naivete avows, has wholly dis couraged the poor Liberals; proves % beyond the shadow of a doubt ; that the unanimity of the Spaniards, in defence of the democratic Consti tution, was as impudent a fi ction as any that ever disgraced the columns of that prolific source of falsehood, The Old Times. The unanimity (if such,it be to be calle4) is all the other way.— h The immense majority of the Spanish nation appear to have a thorough abhorrence of the Cortes, whose name to their ears has nothing popular, and whose, power, to their eyes has no thing patriotic., [MORNING eosir.l We received last ,night, by Express, Frenc Papers to the nd instant. They contain intel ligence from Moncey's head-quarters, which pro bably reached Paris- in , the shape of a Bulletin, but was not deemed , favourable enough to be publicly invested ,witb an official character. It is therefore given in the form of letters from Gerona, dated May 15th, and , though far , from explicit, isof considerable iroportance.7-- It appears indeed frogn„ his, statements (what we all along suspected and maintained), that notwithstanding the assertions and boasts of the enemy respecting the desperate , nature of Mina's situation and the close manner in which he was ,pursued, that , active and enterprising Commander had moved wherever he pleased, without any real itnpedimentfrom his antagonists since the , moment when he., ,out-manoeuvred them, and passed into their rear. They pre tended that his communications with Millais and Barcelona had been cut off by their own dispositions ; that he was surrounded, and had only the chance of a momentary escape, by throwing himself into. Cerdagne, where he must ultimately perish for want of resources. It is now plainly admitted on the contrary, that after hav ing ranged freely behind the whole of Moncefs ,Artny and the Army of the raid], pursued but pot overtaken, he had returned unbroken , to his former positions,and was quietly" retiring to Bar. , celona," the very city from which he was for ever cut off! The Baron d'Eroles, who though closer to hiM than any others of his pursuers, never came in sight of him, and Generals Donnadiru and Curialovith their divisions, were once more hurrying by forced marches, not to complete his destruction, but "in the hope of intercepting him and forcing him to an action." It is' evident, therefore, that by the boldness and rapidity of his manoeuvres he has taken the lead of the war out of the hands of the invaders, and reduced them to act a defensive part, at the very time when on the activity of the offensive operations carried on, in that particular quarter, the fate, of the contest was considered to d epend.— Even had he gained no other, ativantage than that of stopping the advance or the enemy for nearly , three weeks, by the gallant dash which he made into his rear, without losing a single man, and probably with the acquisition of 1 man y, h e would have performed a, most signal ! and important service to his country. But it is not denied in these papers, that in the course of his march he defeated Remagosa And obtained all the other successes which rumour had as• cribed to him. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [Frain the Bury . Gazette, May 21.] The Irish Commutation of Tythe Ilill , now in progress be. fore Parliament, will, it is to be hoped, be most carefully and anxiously investigated before it is permitted tO be passed into a law ; for to us it appears a measure replete with danger to the church of Ireland,ond a Feenrsor clan assault tiponthe proper ty of the church of Bngland.. If it be acted upon in its present form payer,, because. it will award the it will not relieve the t y the clergyman a just equivalent for his right. The clergyman will then be, enriched by its operation, for it is notorious that in many; very many, parishes Ireland the incumbent does not receive a half, a fourth, in extr e me case s a t y the, of his right!, I( ,fellows then, that the la w which enfo rces th e p a y me n t of a just equivalent, will increase the burthen it p ro f es ses to remove, and enrich . rather than imnOverit the church.

It' is very delightful to talk of eonelliatiOn and liberality, and it is very easy to conciliate one man at the expence of another, and to be liberal with the property of Otheri; but:,i et honest? .The parson, for such is the phrase, is in posse t sSiott..9( a frebheld, •his title is undoubted, nothing can :shake it, yet the new'•Commutation Law would. take it from him, and nutkehirn a pensioner ; give him perhaps an equi valent,; but reduce him from , the characters . of a. territorist to a stipendiary ; leave him probably with a : somewhat larger income, but without that independent bononrable. feeling which the clergyman at present possesses in being. able to .assert as an. indefeasible right ; • in having the power to set his foot upon his own and say, " This is mine byvirtue of ,my holy office."

BRUSSELS PAPERS: YRANIEFORty MAY I2.—The French Minister :Count Reinhard) to the Germanic Diet and to the free city of Frankfort, appears to have received fresh instructions from Paris, which enjoin hint to use the greatest reserve in granting or coon-, tersigning passports for France . ; till ncrvr the legislation of all passports delivered by - the corn petent authorities of Germany did not meet with any difficulty in the office of the French Lega tion, This is not .now the case, and passports for Paris are in general countersigned, with per mission only to go to Metz, from which place the tr4veller may be sent back, or must wait there, it seems, for peimission from the police of the Capital to proceed on his journey. _ V I ENN MAY .-- 7 ( E ! rtract , from a Private .Letter,)-- 44 I have to , announce to ,you the very important news,, that Lord Stmngford has pre• sented to the Reis Effendi, by the medium of his Dragoman, a detached Memorial by order of his Government ; and that in this Memorial he developes the fatal consequences which the vio lent struggle between the Turks and the Greeks has already produced, as well as thedifficulties which would impede the execution of the plans of the Ottoman Government again to subject all partl of Greece to, its dominion. • After,the ex position of the facts, and the developements which his Lordship has given of them, he endea vours to convince - the Porte of the advantages which would accrue from an arrangement with the Greeks, and the cessation of the very fatal state of things now existing. The conclusien of the' Memorial is, that England and the other great'powers offer their good offices to terminate all the differences. " It is known that there is here a copy of the Memorial, which is forcibly drawn up, but it is kept very secret, because it has only been com municated. very confidentially. We are led to ' hope for a communication of some extract from this Memorial. " It appears that, according to the proposals made by Lord Strangford, the Greeksof the Island of the Morea, of Attica. and Livadia, should govern theMselves, and 'annually pay to the Porte a sum equal to the revenue which it has hitherto derived from these provinces. "We must confess / however,, that the Reis Effendi has not shown himself much satisfied with these proposals, and it does not seem that they will, for the present, be agreed to. The. Porte I seemed inclined to try once more the chances of war. co /t is certain that the terms of peace pro-1 poieii by Persia have not been acceded to, so that hostilities will continue.

It is, therefore, with no ordinary satisfaction we learn, that on Thursday evening the Earl of Mount cashel, with his family, arrived at Moore-Park, his Lordship's seat in this county. It being known early that morning that his Lordship was on the road from Dublin, a number of his tenan try, amounting at least to 1.000, proceeded to near Clogheen, to hail their Patron and Landlord with their sincere welcome—the honest effusion of their hearts—and their congratulation on his Lord ship's approach to his family mansion. In order to prpve how much they felt on this occasion, as soon as his Lordship's carriage entered the County Cork, the horses were taken from it, and without a moment's delay ropes affixed, which a body of the young tenantry instantly seized, .and, with their wonted strength and agility drew the carriage upwards of five miles, to Moore par.k, cheering at every step they advanced.— , (cork Mercantile Chronicle, May 19.) SCOTLAND. COURT OF SESSION, EDINBURGH, MAY IG, CASE . OF ICILTA RLIT Y. The Rev: Donald Fraser, ,Minister of Rirhill, and others,, members of the. Presbytery of Inverness, pursuers ; and John Morison, of A uchintoul, Esq. Thomas Alexander Fraser, of Lovat, Esq. aud'the Rev. Colin Fraser, defenders. The case of 'the disputed pretientation to the Chitich - of Kul tarlity, in Inverness--shire (of which fre . quent notice has been made in the newspapers), received the judgment of the Court of Session this day. It may be recollected that the Rev. Colin Fraser received a ' presentation to this parish, from the CommisSioner of Mr. Fra ser of Lovat, the indisputed patron ; but that four members of the , Presbytery of Inverness, constituting a majority of that body, have for some time resisted the settlement Of the pre sentee; upon the ground . that Lovat, thopatron, is a Roman Catholic. This opposition has led to various proceedings, both civil and ecclesiastical. At first a, . process of interdict was tried before the First Division of the Court of Session ;, but that process was ultimately diSmissed. on the, score of irregu larity, having been raised in the names of three parishioners, The Courtbemg . clearly of opinion that the' mere character o' parishioner confers no title to insist in a question of patronage. Nexecame a diseuision in the Church Courti; the object of the Presbytery being to prevent the induction of the presentee, at all events, until theissue of ,a threatened, second process lcfore the civil Courts, raised in the express name of the Presbytery itself. Of this ecclesiastical contest, the result was a judgment of the General Asseinbly of 1822, expressly directing theTres bytery to Proceed with all dispatch in the settlement' of Mr. Colin Fraser. 'rhe Presbytery, however, did not proceed as directed; and Mr. Colin Fraser was not settled, notwithstand ' ing of every effort in his power to persuade .the Presbytery to . go on. In consequence of this state of matteri, a complaint , was made to the Synod of Moray, at .their autumnal meeting, and the Synod, after full discussion, not only enjoined the Presbytery forthwith to obey the, order of the General Assem bly, but appointed a Committee of their own membeis to see that order carried into effect.
