LONDON JOEJIINALS. F 11.074 THE u %MY /410(tNINC; P.lPEttql February I'2, 189. j. "~~ ~~• [THE Trmes.l Mr% Canning is to take his seat to-night, when it l expected that some questions Will he put to him respecting the foreign concerns of the coun try, and the part we are taking, or are likely to take, in the lamentable contests springing up. — The condurt of M. de as avowed by him self in the secret sitting of the Chamber T deserves the most vere terms of reprebensio‘i with which :t can he branded., It was charged upon him as a crime, that he had not Leen zafficiently prompt in commenchq; the open massacre of the Spaniards, who were forming for themselves a Constitutional Coven: me t ; and this charge Ire refuted by stating that though' he had not, indeed, invaded Spain openly, he had secretly fomented rebellion there, and had paid and organized the Spanish rebels. V can hardly contemplate the treachery., the melty, and the general atrocity of this conduct without horror ; for it is to be observed, that the stme Man and his friends who stirred up and totcittl these troubles in Spain, alleged their eg ioelice as a proof that the Spaniards were dis ttriiteti. and as a reason for invading the Pen insula l And this is M. de Villele, and the rench Minis t ry—friends o"rdligion t J ~... [sew TIM r.S.] A. report was yesterday' afternoon prieureat the City, that a Counter Revolution had taken place at INladrid. We cannot at all vonch,for its authenticity ; but w'e certainly shall not be surprised if such an event occurs ere many weeks have passed over our loads. From every in quirf that we have made, we are s'atisfi'ed (and it is out duty to state the truth to our Readers) that the great majority of the Spanish Nation are adverse to the Constitution in its present form. n h, lieve, indeed, that the very framers of it now repent as bitterly of their work, as Mr. G rev liemiet would repent to see his friend Cobbett C s plan of It eform carried into effect,andCobbett Ili! it in.cousequence,matle Prime Minister.—The C9nstitutionne/ and the Journal du Commerce have put into the mouth of M. de Vill6le lan guage ww hick we are convinced he never uttered. They hate made him, in fact, accuse himself of having excited a civil war in Spain. Could not have said thk, for it is not the fact. It will ite remembered that the Constitutionnel and the Jo/4nm/ du Commerce are Papers devoted to the revolutionary faction, and that they are speaking of what passed at it secret sitting of the Chamber of Deputies ; ‘so that there is no means of check ing, their statement by one more accurate and authentic. The real fact is, that a civil war has been existing in Spain , with more or less Violence for above a twelvemonth ; and that the French Cevernment would never have interfered in it, had not the prevalent faction at Madrid first sent emissaries all over France to stir up rebellion, and openly received the fugitive French traitors with applause and reniuneration. _. _. W,~, . ~--... Caavrisn rungs.] Notwithstanding the tenor of our private letters from Paris, we still cannot alter our opinion that the French Government will not carry their war like attitude into actual hostilities. It is said they liav(- gone too far to retreat, but excuses enough will not be wanting to set them free from their professions if state policy should ultimately be found to stand in the way of them. There is one secret which those versed in the politics, whether of the French Cabinet or of any other of the Cabinets of Europe, are not unacquainted with, which is, that the reigning party is not always the ruling party. If the Ultras shall be compelled to abandon their position, they will. soon find a plausible plea for retreat. We bad not time to offer in onr paper of yesterday the observations which w intended should accompany the admi rable and impressive spdech of 'Prince de Talley rand, delivered on the .accasioti of time Chamber of Peers taking into consideration the project of the Address to be presented in answer to the King's Speech. If it is Within the competence of reason to persuade the Monarch of France and his advisers that. to league with any allies, holy or unholy, for the purpose of attempting the sub jugation of Spain, and the extinction of that pa. triotic enthusiasm that pervades it, is to rush upon their own ruin ; if it is within the faculty of human reason to produce this conviction, this speech, at such a moment and, from such a man, must. produce it. - [hi 0011 Na neat,tr.o.] The-lust arrivals from Paris leave the question of the invasion of Spain in stalls quo. Like a fixed weathercock, the war-trump still points steadily to the Pyrenees. But if they throw no light upon' this topic, they do, most abundantly, on the policy and the actual position of the French Cabinet. Nothing CV* be more despicable than the one—nothing more• humiliating than the other. It is very easy to prove this. An Address was moved in the Chamber of Depu. ties, in answer to the King of France's Speech. A Violent opposition to it was instantly alerted, not, as, might be expected, by the party called " Liberals," but fry the fanatics of the Ultra party, ‘vho attacked and taunted M. de ViNle, with bitter asperity for not having long since attacked Spain, instead of allowing her time to prepare the means of defence. Th e charge Was at least straight forward and con sistent. What was the answer of the Prime Minister ? Did he account for the delay by the, •imoHance of the measure---the COtpinnitiCatiOns With foreign Powers.—the necessity of due de liberation ? Nothing - like it. tie plainly avowed that his mind was made up fignt,the beginning, but that he affected hesitation, because France herself was not prepared for the attack,—and that he bad, mu the mean time, stirred urinsur. rection itt Spain,—supplied the insurgents With arms and money—obserVing, en passant, that the most extravagant demands were made by the bandit Chiefs. This needs no commentary. is it to be wondered that Sir Charles Stuart was 4isgusted with the intrigues -and duplicity of the French Ciiiiinkj j , after this unprecedented. avowal. [atouNaNG. rum] Finding the majority of the French Chamber irresistible, and too timid to resort to the vigor ous measure of a dissolution, M. de Villele now comes forward to contradict all that he has said, written and;hone hitherto, and claims credit for a degree of infamy, of which we are unwilling even yet to think him. capable. He tells the Chamber, that if he appeared so long opposed to %Yet', and deceived Spain and Europe by pacific, declarations, it was 44 because war was not then possible," and that he is now eager for the contest, 44 because a hundred thousand men are j assembled at the foot of the Pyrenees, and it is necessary to attack the South, in order to escape the North." And in order to obtain pardon from the Vltras for having delayed to gratify their thirst for human blood, he assures them that at the very time when lie professed peace and amity towards Spain, and lamented in the Journal des ;Winds the civil dissentious to which that coun try was:a prey, " every thing which could be done against the Constitutional system was done. ft was difficult to supply the extravagant de mands for men and money made by the Chiefs of bands ; but assistance was given them, insurrec tion was stirred up wherever it was possible."— Was ever a system of blacker deception and deeper criminality practised ?—or, if practised, unblushingly. avowed! The enormity of the enilt is .really astounding, if it be recol kcted that the very insurrections . which the French Minister noW proclaims have been " stirred up by France," have also been made by France the ground of the war which she is preparing to wage. If that. war was con sidered unjust when regarded merely as a wan- Jon interference in the internal concerns of an in dependent State, what character does it assume after the revelations of the French Minister ? Is not a monstrous attempt to punish Spain for broils and calamities which France has in cted apjon her ? [MORNING CHRONICLE. j The disclosures made in the Chamber of De, Duties on Saturday kill not soon bo forgotten in this country. It is now openly avowed by Villele that the disturbances in Spain have all been fomented by. France, and that his own ma. festa Got; of a wish for peace was altogether assunied, with a view, to. make the requisite pre parations with greater facility. We confess we are not a little embarrassed by the non-chalance with which the French Ministers make these avowals. They must either calculate greatly on the favour or the fears of our Ministers. ' A secret understanding would . go a, good way •to explain the matter, but we cannot bring ourselves to think so meanly of Lord Liverpool and Mr. Canning, as to, suppose them guilty .of such baseness But it is nut pleasing to think 1 that even these fantastics should presume so much on our supposed inability to oppose them, as to hold so insolent a language. One thing must result from the disclosure, that from henceforth no public writer in this country will dare to insult his countrymen by a word in favour of Bottebon ttoyalists The situation of the country may dictate neutrality to the Government ; but the feelings ()Hite people will not be the less decided. However,.without. even departing froth neutra lity, Ministers may, if they chose, afford a most effectual aid to the people of Europe rigninst these tyrants. • New Plan for the Translation of Languages.— , - Several ingenious plans have been suggested for the support of foreign correspondence, by means of a general or universal character ; but in all these, there is much to be acquired and remembered, as well as a thorough acquaintance with► the principles of grammar. A system fully suitable ►►as been conceived, it is said, by a simple arrangement, to obviate every dial catty. The dictionary now proposed will enable persons to correspond with foreig►►ers of whose language they have no knowledge; and to trans late, freely, every species of their literature. — And two persons possessing this dictionary may carry on a private correspondence, which cannot be comprehended by those who have even access to the same dictionary. By this diction ary, it will be only pastime for children to translate English works into the languages of 1 ndia.and China, and their works into our own. In fart, it will unlock the knowledge of the world, and communicate it to all, the most un informed as well as the profoundly learned. In addition to these peculiar` ,dvantages it will a saver 1111 the purposes of any other dictionary. EXTEY , IVE BURGLARY.—Monday evening the house of an elderly infirm lady, named Cosnol.n, residing in Beaufort-row, Chelsea, near Batter sea-bridge, was entered by robbers in the follow ing manner. About half-past seven o'clock in tire evening, the old lady and her female servant, who constitute the whole family, were silting by the fireside, in the parlour, at needle-work,when they heard a noise in the wainsceit, as if some persons Were scraping' the wall in the next house, ,which was under repair ; they considered it to be the bricklayers at work, and took no notice of it. About half an hour afterwards the servant went up stairs to fetch something from her mistress's bed-room, when she found the door barricaded inside, so that she could only cpn it a little, on doing w hich she heard a great rush in the room, and she ran down stairs, calling out murder, thieves, &c. The neighbourhood was soon in an uproar, and many persons went up stairs, when they discovered, the room in the greatest - con fusion ; articles of apparel were strewed about, and every drawer and othe`r depository were broken open ; on further: examination it was discovered that the robbers had- effected Their entrances from the next house, by means of mak ing a breach in the wall, about IQinches square, sufficiently large to admit a man. The robbers succeeded in breaking open the plate chest, from which they stole a great quantity of plate, two handsome suits -of jewels, trinkets, and other property, to the amount of nearly 1,000/, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. WARSAW, JAN. 23.—This morning early his Majesty the grnperor left this city to return to St. Petersburg. On the 20th there was a grand review of all the troops in garrison here, at which both the Emperor and Prince Constantine wore the Polish uniform. BERLIN, FEB. I.—The disorder of the Mini ster of State, Von Voss, took so alarming a turn that all medical aid was vain, and this worthy Statesman was snatched from his country on Thurs. day, Jan. 30, in the sixty-third year of his age. There is not at present the slightest conjecture respecting his successor as President of the Mi nistry ; but, considering the extraordinary press of business, it is probable that his Majesty's choice will be shortly decided. His Majesty has been pleased to confer on M; Von Gentz, in Vienna, the insignia of the Order of the Red Eagle of the Second Class, set in diamonds. ST. PETERSBURG, JAN. 21.—0 n the represen tation of Count Gurjew, Minister of Finance, the Council of the Empire has resolved that the value of the silver rouble shall 'be continued for this year at 3 roubles, 60 copecs. There never were such complaints in the commercial Nvorld as at this time of the want of ready money and credit ; our manufacturers complain equally of want of demand for their goads. Several of them have discharged half their workmen. 11A FEB. 4.—Three English mails, viz. those of the 21st, 9.40, and 28th of last month, have arrived here by way of Holland. BATAVIA, AUG. 31.—8 y order of the Governor General no licenCe shall for the present, and till precise regulations are laid down, be given to vessels not belonging ta the Dutch possessions in India, to take in cargoes and to clear out from Samarang or Sourabaja.—Reports have been re ceived that a ship, supposed to be English, was cast away on a rock near Goea, one of the islands belonging to, Sumanap. No part of the cargo was saved, but the crew got on board a ship that was mder sail at a small distance, and which afterwards directed her course to the South. THE PACHA Or EGYPT. The following is a description of the character of MAHOMED ALI, the Ruler of Egypt, who is so much attached to the English Nation, as given in the Travels of R.tc Wit,sox, .Esq. through that country : " I paid my respects to the Pacha in the suite of the British Consul, and, on, this occasion the Consuls of other nations were received. The place in which the audience was given was a rude building, humble enough for the ruler of such a kingdom. A band of music, the sound of which was grating to the ear, played on our entering, and a numerous retinue of Turkish and Arabian Idaves were present, whO were arranged before the Pacha in a semi-circular form. His High ness honoured us with a seat next to himself, who sat cross-legged in n. corner, tipon a Persian carpet, resembling an English hearth-rug, and smoking from a Turkish pipe, nearly seven feet in length, the mouth-piece of which was superbly mounted with diamonds, and •behind him Stood a slave fanning off the flies which annoyed him exceedingly. At this interview, by means of nn interpreter who understood the I talian langUage _ _ he entered into a long gonversation, making many judicious inquiries respecting' Great Britain, particubirly the extent of her population, re sources, and the strength of the army and navy. The attachment of the Pacha to England is uni versally known, of which there, could not be a stronger proof than when he inquired of the Consul for the Consul-General at Grand Cairo, and directed him to write to him that he was at berty to send to the King of England all the cu. riotities in. Upper Egypt he could collect, pro; vided he only left a few for himself to look at, by way of amusement ! hle shifted his convey sation in a moment to that of commerce, and the prices of grain, of which he appears to have just as competent a knowledge, from being himself a merchant, as any one in Mark lane, London. In short every sentiment this man uttered provezd him to be possessed of a mind wonderfully acute and discerning, and it was observed by some of our party when he put the questions, that they were so important and difficult to answer at the moment, that it would have: been requisite to furnish them with a list some days previous to the interview, in order to consider the proper replies they called for. " Rammed Ali is about 50 years of age, and owes his elevation to courage, combined with talents ; his intrepidity was remarkably conspi cuous in the attack of Rahmainch on the banks of the Nile,in conjunction with the British Army. Ile appeared to me, however, to be , further ad. vanced in years, which probably might arise from those fatigues inseparable from a life of activity, and the operations of war. Notwithstanding that be is a stern administrator of justice, he is considered as naturally humane, and though tributary to the Porte, perfectly independent, and no Pacha is perhaps in existence, of whose pow or and popu larity the Grand Signior entertains a greater de gree of jealousy." After other inter sting remarks, and particu. larly on the protection be affords to travellers INIr. Wilson concludes with the following, hint which we hope will not he lost sight of cs 111 conclusion, having said so inuch respec ing the present. Paella, I may be allowed to eA press a hope, that his growing powers, great re sources, and increasing popularity, added to those benevolent and patriotic dispositions by which he is actuated, with the estimation in which he hold* the British nation, will be duly appreciated by the government of this count, , end that pru• dence will be exercised to preset re a proper un derstanding with Nahomed Ali, who governs se veralmillions of _ ro pi e , end in which 11.0 t only our political and commercial interests, but tho , ,e of the antiquarian and traveller; appear to be most deeply interesteu.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEn. 11. TIIE KING, OW TIIE PROSECUTION 01' SIR HUDSON LOWE, V. BARRY O'MEARA. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL before the arrival of the Lord Chief justice, who was sitting to try undefended causes at Guildhall, rose and moved for a criminal information against Mr. O'Meara, for a libel on Sir Hudson Lowe. Mr. JusticeYr.tY begged the Learned Solicitor to wait till the Court should be full. At a quarter after 11 o'clock, the Lord Chief Justice came into Court. • The SoLTEITOII-OENERAT, then renewed his application to the Court, in nearly the following terms :—I am to move your Lordships for a rule, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against a person called Barry O'Meara for several libels. I make this application on behalf' of. Sir Hud son-Lowe, late Governor of the island of St. Helena. The libels of which Sir Hudson Lowe complains are contained in a book, or rather in two volumes, entitled A Voice from St. lie lena, or Napoleon in : Exile. When Buonaparte was conveyed to St. Helena, Mr. O'Meara was, at his request, appointed his surgeon, and continued to act in that capacity for about two years. When he was Appointed— . The Loan CHIRP JUSTICE.—Pray, Mr. Solicitor, how long has this work been in circulation ? The SOLICITOR-G ENERAL.--It was' originally published some time ago, but a new edition has very lately been put forth. The LORD CHIEF JURTICE.—When was that edition pub lished ? • The So LICITOR-dENERAL.—In November, my Lord. The LORD CFlltr JusTxcE.—And are you applying now on the ground of offensive matter introduced for the first time into that edition ? The SOLICITOR.GEWERAL.—CertainIy not for the firs' time"; -btit I should submit— Mr. Justice BAY LE v.—When was the first edition pub, lisped ? The Some iTon-G ENE nea.—l belieite in the summer, my Lord. I would submit, my Lord, that it is the perseverinre petition of an offence of this kind which may compel an inaivi. dual libelled to Seek that redress which at • first he may think. needless. Sir.fludson Lowe, the party aggrieved by these at. tacks, might at first suppose thatthe calumnies would fall still born from the press ; he might conceive that they would pass .unnoticed bY the world ; but when he finds them widely dif fused;- and his character assailed on every side, he may feel it due to himself to contravene slanders, and to seek protection for his good name. When Mr. O'Meara was appointed to the situation of surgeon to Buonaparte, it was expresely stipulated that he should retain the character of a British officer; that he should be subject to the regulations of the British service ; and that he should receive pay, not from Buonaparte, but from his Sovereign, While he was engaged in this employment, he ap pears te have been studiously collecting materials for those libels of which Sir Ilildson; then the representative of Ids Majesty, .and engaged in a most arduous and delicate duty, had reason to complain. After a considerable time it was discovered that Mr. O'Meara , had been concerned in forwarding letters from 13nonaintrte's suite to Europe, and he was accordingly sent hom e On his return he preferred charges against Sir 11. Lowe, which were referred to the Admiralty, and underiVeat an exa. ruination, the result of which was that the accuser was dis missed, freer) his Majesty's eervice. This (Matthaei took place, not on any , charge brought against him. by Sir li. Lowe, but professedly and distinctly on the account which he himself gave of his own conduct during .his residence at St. Helena. This circumstance enkindled, or at least heightened, those feelings of hostility which induced Mr. O'Meara to give a &lie colour ing to those measures which Sir HONOR Lowe, in a situation replete with difficulty, had conscientiously adopted. lie com plained that a great part of this work was filled, not with direct and manly charges, but 'with insinuations of great oppression, exercised by Sir Hudson Lowe towerds his prisoner ; and that these insinuations were frequently placed in the mouths of per-, sons who were how prevented by death from denying that they ever used theni. Of the persons to whom the author referred, and of whom he now spoke in terms of the most exalted eulogy, he had form er ly holden very different language. lie now re. presented sloutholon as a person of rare virtue; but formerly, in letters . naSir Thomas lteaci,ire hadheaped en this individual terms of the coarsest abuse : had designated him as aca noto. rious liar ; had re p resen ted hiM as actuated by the most paltry Malice ; and cautioned British officere. against the malicious perversions of the character of Sir Hudson Lowe, of which he Was perpatuelly gailty. lAA Cases, whom lie now praised, he had familiarly termed " the Jesuit," and had expressed the m Th os e t sa u n e le qu d a i l fr i e fi r e e d ne a e bh o o f rr st e y n ie ce wn e s f re h m is ar i ka ind b e le rhd j a n n his pr f o o ceed mier in a % present mode of characterizing Bertrand and others. Bat that of which Sir- Iludson Lowe chiefly complained was a direct in sinuation, repeated in various forms, that lie desired to shorten the life of his:prieoner, and that he employed means to attain that atrocious purpose. With this. view, he, in one passage, represented` Buonaparte as informing bial that Sir 11. Lowe hail proposed to dismiss O'Meara and substitute 31r. Baxter in his room . ; and that he urged this proposal twice, with great earnestness ; but, as adding, that he refused it, and " never tem so horrid a countenance" as that of his gaoler. Now Sir 11. Lowe well recollected this conversation, in which he propased, not that Mr. Baxter; who Was the principal of the medical establish ment of the leland, should take the place of O'Meara, but that his additional skill should be employed to remove the disease under whieh Napoleon was labouring. In another of these extraordinary an malignant libels, he repr esente d Sir Hudson Lowe as expressing himself respecting his prisoner, in the pre. sence of' Major Texer, who Was since dead, in language which he must have been insane to titter before witnesses. In other passages he represented Buonaparte as speaking to Sir Hudson Lowe, in language to which only one meaning could be ascrib ed; alluding to the fate of Edward IL, and speaking of him as !clking like "ahe hangman of the principality," and as a ho. man fiend. Ire stated that when lie requested Buonaparte to see Baxter, he replied " ; he is too nearly connected with the Governor, and.the Governor is -- ; he rende rs adieus all that passetaihrough his hands." The LORD Cher?.' uszict.—Does your affidavit state who is the publisher? The Some IT OR -GENcßeia.--.Yes, my Lord : wepure.hased a copy of Mi n i it vveels ago, and h e h as made an affidavit stating that 'Air. O'Meara is the author of the woe*, and that the last edition wasaarblished under his sanction. Mr. Justice Br:BT.—Did you not know that he was th e au thor till then 'l . The Soucyron-OENErtm..—ln a popular sense we cer tainly did; in a legal sense we did not. In another passage Mr. O'Meara charged the Governor with confining him within the berths allowed to the French prisoners ; but he forgot to mention the reasons for that restriction—that he was detected in conveying a snuff-box contrary to those regulations which were considered requisite. lie attempted anxiously to get beck a letter, because he knew— [Here the Jiedges consulted togethe r , an d t h e S o li citor-Ga. neral paused.] in a few minutes The LOUD ciIIEF jlJsllcc said—We are considering only of the lateness of the period in whielt this application is made.
