THE LONDON JOUItNALS.. DAI IN Extracts from the Morning Papers,. May 1. .=...-~. [MOUNI NG POST.] i. The question of the policy of the British Go- TernMent and its cantina in the late Negocia- dons, has at length been decided by the House of "Commons, after an elaborate discussion of thee long nights' duration ; and .so proud a triumph as the result afferds never bef ore crowned the wise and upright exertions of any Ministry, of triStinguished' the .Annals Of the British Par liairthtt; Mr. Secretary Canning's . , ably ;Irv mentative, and admiral eloquent speech (to which , we'regret we have not had time to do ample justice} was altogether unanswerable ;. and isi their abjectly defeated state. the Opposition were d'eilions of withdrawing their motion. Thii pro.: Polfition, howeVer,' silts rejected ; and on . the tideitien being put, Mr. Tierney and the rest of thrv'Party left their seats, and were proceed ing, as it. appeared to us, to leave. the House wltheut dividing. On seeing this movement Members on ' the Ministerial side raised thq' loudest cheers we ever recollect to have Veard within the walls of Parliament, which veetnetr to have the effect of stopping Mr. Tilwiiey and the rest of the Opposition, who after some hesitation and consultation resumed their seats. There was, we understood, no voice for M. Macdonald's motion, and only one or two against the 'Amendment ; but these one or two reitilered the division necessary, when there ap peared for the original Motion 20, and for the Amendment 372 . ; making an unprecedentedly proud and triumphant majority of 352! ! Upon this happy result we most cordially congratulate the country. So truly gratifying a termination of a debate, we repeat, has never before adorned the annals of Parliament. liow proudly and unequi vocally has the House of Commons thus recorded its approbation of, the general sense and feeling of the nation on as important an occasion as has eves perhaps engaged its attention. •• • [BRITISH PRESS.I The important debate on Mr. Macdonaldrs motion on our Foreign RelatiOns, and , the nego. eiationk at Verona', closed last night, after two adjournments, with a large majority in favour of . Ministers, on the amendment of T%r. Stuart Wort ley. Ministers, we think, made out no case, but yet we are sure their present conclusion is right, and that the policy of the country is neutrality. We are influenced by nothing Mr. Peel could say ; but this we know, that if war were once cornmmenced its expences would be terrific, and no man could calculate on either its extent or duration.' Once let its dames he again lit —those Ilat»es width once extended from the rising to the setting sun, and where is the Minister or the Cabinet who could limit its progress? Where is the individual, however powerful, could sfty, " Thus far shalt thou go, and' no farther ; here shall thy fiery waves be' staid." But though this is our calm and decided 'opinion, now that the negOciations are closed, we e hav no hesitation in again repeating, and on the maturest reflection, that these negociations com mitted the character and the interests of the country. Neither the tone or decision were used that because the influence and station of Great Britain. The power of England was sacrificed. She had subsidized in turn each and all of the Allied lowers--she gave them existence and motion in the hour of peril. The forced for bearance of France to Portugal, her unwilling professions of hallow amity to that country, merely because England wits bound by treaty to defend her, clearly show what might have been achieved for. Spain,, had our unhappy neguciations been differently conducted. There was nothing in principle to separate Spain from Portugal; their Constitution was in fact the sume : the only 'difference was, that the liberty of Spain rested on 'ancient institutions, renewed by the Corks of that country in 1812, and then recognised by every independent power in Europe. Bot we were hound to protect Por tugal by compact. Spain was open to the in vader, and the object • of the vile party who attacked' her w. 3 the overthrow, both in that country and France„ of eery thing liberal and free ; the annihilation, if possible, of all that the Itevolution in both countries had achieved ; the restoration of :tithes in one country, and the" inquisition in another---of monachisr» and tbs.) Dominicans within the Pyrenees ; anti - the extinction of•the Troprietaires of the re volution ; and fike' restoration" of all forfeited estates to the returned emigranti in France. Thesl? are their avowed and known objects. Thilug , ll . Minister's have triumphed numerically in the debale, yet never was the force of public opinion moie apparent. From both sides of the House no expression was heard but that of un metteured'exeCriltion at the atrocious attack made by Ormeit aul'aishitrary force on the liberties of a lr*e people: [MORNING It 11'1t.51.01 Notbing is thought of at this moment but the Spunish ; it is the burden of the Fo reign Intelligence and Parliamentary Proceed ins'. 'rho is one upon which one may di s claim eyel Lotingly, without throwing any new light. Upon it, or arriving at any result, Is it the objyrct to render clearer the moral character of this act* of the Bourbon Government ? [lot throughout the ' United Kinitdoni, and 'in both Houses of Parliament, without distinction of party or sect, there is taut (Sift opinion of its daring tur pitutie. The question which has Ininlnced utt unusually brilliant discussion in the (louse of Lords,—one indeed that will bold its place in British Parliamentary history, as a Striking and )ionotirtible display or Noglisu etoqueoe and English feelit g,. which has consumed threenights' eager discussion in the House of Commons ; 'this -question, we, say, though it ducible within the narrowest compass' in which a proposition could be expressed, may he delisted for ever with, ouuarrivirsg at' any conclusion. It is simply this :—Would'a more decided or (as it is called) dignified tone on the part of the Prittsh Govern aaeut, have diverted the Uourbon Adruiuistra.- tion from invading Spain ? This question is not'', a whit the nearer being settled, after all that has been said upon it. Even the essential preliminary datum i 4 liot agreed upon—viz. What were the designs and moving springs of the French Govern ment ? In the debate the French Cabinet is, de scribed from the Treasury Bench as a weather cock, perperually shifting round the compass, unable to declare to-day where it would point to-morrow.—This is, in subatance, the opinion of the Chancellor .of the Exchequer ; no mean au thority, not only from his official place and r talents, but from a certain frankness whi ch has recently marked his speeches. On the other side ,of the House it is said, the French Cabinet was secretly resolved on war from the beginning, and amused and duped the Go vernment of this country by the grossest pre- tenccs. Now, whe , :ther the French Ministers were weathercocks or knaves, it is quite clear that no increased cogency of mere verbal dialectics—no thing short of the alternative of force in the back ground—could fix the one or compel the other, in the right line of peace and justice. But Mi• nisters were, by their system, and it turns out by the universal opinion of the country, shut out from the alternative of war. In such a case at this it might really have been perilous for them to put their dignity in the fore-ground. LN Env M ES.] The debate on the late Negociations is at last concluded, and in an extraordinary manner.— The Mover of the original Address, in his reply, stated his wish to withdraw his motion, in order that the amended Address should be voted as the Address of the whole House ; but his proposal was rejected. Mr. Macdonald's proposition to withdraw his motion being refused, the Opposi tion rose in a. body with a view to retire, pro bably to prevent a division ; but there was at this proceeding such loud cheers .on the part of the Members on the Ministerial side of the House,. that Mr. Tierney and several other lead ing Oppositionists stopped, and after some hesi tation resomed their places, amidst repeated cheers of their exulting opponents. This termi nation of a debate is wholly unprecedented ; and it is curious, that at the conclusion of one of the longest debates ever known, there was not a voice in favour of ,the original, motion; and only twenty against fli t . amendment moved by Mr. Stuart Wortley, in favour of the policy pursued by the Government. ['ruE TtstEs.] The accounts respecting Spain,as derived from the French Journals and the private correspon dence from Paris, deal rather , in speculation than In facts. Nothing new or interesting has, indeed, occurred. The plan of defensive operations is said to be developed by every day's experience, and every day testifies how rigidly and how profitably the Government adheres to it. The only two occasions in which there yet has been any thing like .active opposition were' accidental rencontres. 'rho road to Madrid is entirely open' and the French army are invited to ad. vance. A Gentleman who left Madrid on the lOth ult. states, that he did not, an the whole road he. tween the capital and Vittoria,meet with 600 Con.. stitution troops. The population everywhere op peared calm and sullen, but full of confidence, and determined to offer, in the first instance, neither aid nor resistance to the hosts of the invader.— When told that the,,enemy was advancing, their usual reply was-!--" Dejan los entrar" (let them come) ; but they :11ways added, " We drove out the Moors, and we shall drive out los Indignos," as they call the French. The invaders have not yet been joined by a single person of any influence or even respectability. The nuked creatures who, at the instigation of the priests, hail their ap proach, utter shouts which sufficiently betray the impure source whence they proceed.— " Viva la Santa Inquisition" is mixed with the cry of " Viva el Re absoluto." The Army of the Faith is not acquiring numbers or rising in favour. It is an undisciplined horde, which is only useful to the French in mak ing the people prefer foreign regular troops to indigenous robbers and banditti. The doors of the houses, and the windows of the shops, in the towns and villages which they enter, are shut at their approach. f n roost cases they are in a state of rags. chIORNING £UILONICLE.J As Mr. C. W. Wynn had possession of the louse on Tuesday night, and it was of,..course knoWn that he would begin the .Adjourned De• bale last night, some curiosity was entertained with respect to the course he would take, as it might help - to solve the problem whether all the Grenvilles were, as. ". prepared for obloquy" as his Grace of Bucktnghatn. Mr.. Wynn seemed, eager _to set himself right , with, the public on this point. lle talked of the unjusti liable. aggression of the Bonrbon Government," ar.d even adMitted valiantly " that it furnished to Britain a justifiable cause of War." The bead of the Grenvilles is then deserted by his followers, none of whom seen' to have.so capacious a sto, mach for obloquy. as himself, honours are no doubt a set-off against; obloquy, and gratitude for honoUrs is also' soniething. Ills Grace is either the only Englishm a n of _his own, or an inferior raitk; whip wishes success to. the. Bourbons, or the only one, who.. dares : honestly to express his sentiments. 'The atrocious. language..,.of The Courier, which of course .has its patrons, makes us . think. that his Grace is not more unworthy of the name, of Englishman, than some others of the clast to which lie belongs, but only a less pr ofound hypocrite.; It is some thing. however, that no i one, excepting his Grace, spoken of the tlnurbolp in pi) , other . Language than that of execration. Chancellor of the Exchequer, indeed, held' them up as both fOOlB and rogues, for, according. to him,- they were never two days together of the - same mind. . The Magistrates of the Hammersmith district having resolved to suppress Brook-Green.Fair, there being no Charter to-authorise it, measures have been taken to prevent its ,being held this year.' It usually took place on the Ist of May. —Toth'll-Fields Fair has also been sttppressed. . I I N) , - - 7- MASONIC NOTICES FOR NEXT WEEK. ENGLAND. Monday, May 5, LONDON.

EAST LONDON IRISH FREE SCHOOLS Monday the Annual Meeting of this laudable Institution was held at the City of London Tavern, Bishops gate.street, when a numerous and highly respectable company attended, chiefly consisting of elegantly dressed Ladies, amongst whom we noticed several of great distinction. Prior to the Chair being taken, the children who are the ob jects of the Charity, in number 400 boys and girls, were in troduced into the room, where a gallery was ereced for the lat ter, and the former were seated behind the company. The clean and interesting appearance of the whole excited the ad miration of the company. About one o'clock the Earl of Darnley entered the room, ac, companied by Lord Clifton, Gen. Sir John Doyle, the lion. T Cligh, Sir English Dothen, Bart., Mr. Brownlow, M.P., Ford, Esq. M.P., the Rev. Messrs. Clayton, 31iher, &c, the Countess of Darnley, the Countess of Glengall, Lady Bligh, and several other Lathes. The Noble CHAIRMAN entered into a brief explanation of the objects of the Institution, observing, that those who came. forward to support it were rescuing a large portion of individuals who were born of Irish parents from vice and ignorance. The Rev. H. G. O'Doxaroonur, the Secretary, read the Report of the last year. It appeared that the average number of children in actual attendance was 200, but now it was 'up wards of 340, of whom 140 were girls, making the total number under the care of the Institution since its establishment above 1000. The plan of the Institution was to teach reading, writ. ing, and arithmetic, with the addition of needle-work in the Girls' School, which, excluding systematic religious instruc don, permitted the co-operation of persons of different religious persuasions, who were united in their opinions in reference to the necessity and propriety of general education, whatever might be their individual opinions as to the Roman Catholic religion, to which the children are principally attached, and all books but the Holy Scriptures and the necessary elementary ones were excluded from the Schools, neither was there use of any Creed, Catechism, or Confession of Faith permitted, Jeav ing the children to adopt that mode of religious worship which their parents might prefer. The Report stated, that front the investigations made by the Society for the improvement of pri son discipline, it appeared that there were upwards of 0,000 boys in the metropolis who subsisted by depredations on the public, and were daily and rapidly increasing ; that many composing this number were to be found in the district embraced by this Society, and that the lower orders of Irish population furnished a large proportion of such offenders. The Secretary concluded the Report with some remarks on the benefits accruing front the Institution. The peace and well being of Ireland, he said, depended upon the extension of education amongst the inhabi. tants. During the last year the Society had been very success ful. The Marquis of liansdown had presented the Society with a munificent donation, which had been expended in the purchasing of clothes, &c. for the children. The funds were in a state of progressive improvement, but still they were in adequate to the heavy denianda upon them. Sir Joryst DovLE moved that the Report be received, printed, and circulated, and strongly recommended the Insti tution to the charitable notice of the company. Lord CLIFTON said, the distress of Ireland was very great, and it had peculiar claims upon Englishmen ; the attention paid to Ireland last year reflected credit on the English cha. racter. He urged the necessity of disseminating education ;it would have the effect of checking the depravity which was daily witnessed. Mr. Bitowareow, M.P. said, the want of education was the root of the evil in Ireland, and to promote the education of the lower class of Irish in England would have greaa, effect. Ile moved a Resolution of Thanks to the Benefactors of the Irish 'Poor, and to the Editors of the various publications who had gratuitously rendered their assistance. A GENTLEMAN stated, that he had read an account of an Institution in Ireland, which mentioned that 123 schools had been erected for moral instruction, and that three millions of hooks had beets circulated. The Rev. Mr. Cuaa—rox delivered an eloquent address, and eulogized the Ladies' Committee. The Rev. Gentleman was followed by Mr. Mt LeEn, of Glasgow, and some other Gentlemen, who urged the interests of the Institution. The Resolutions were all agreed to, and Thanks were voted to the Chairman, when the Meeting hroke up. A handsome collection was made at the doors, and the Marquees of' Lans down, the Earl and Countess of Darnley, anti other distin guished personages, were most prominent in their munificence SPORTING INTEfaLIGENCE.

We have great pleasure in laying before our Readers the following private letter, reporting the successful progress of the Greeks in establish ing their independence. It is also rumoured, that the celebrated PAcIfA of St. JEAN D'ACRE has made common cause with them, and is on his voyage to Hydra with his treasure on board fourteen vessels under the Greek flag. The war- like preparations at Constantinople, which were stated to be directed solely against the Greeks, will now most probably be diverted to another quarter ; for certain information has been receiv ed of the total defeat of the Turkish army in Armenia by the Persians in the beginning of March. The Turks are said to have lost /5,000 men. " Conru, MAncti 24.—Since the unsuccessful attack of the Turks upon Missolonghi, the Greeks have become masters of Epirus to the Cinq-Puits of Acarnania, the whole of Etolia,- lloride, Phocia, lieotia, Attica, and Thessaly, to Pharsalia. Odysseus, who commands the Eastern Army of the Hellade ' quitted Athens on the 4th inst., to march on the side of Eubea in order to combine with the Insurgents in forming the blockade of Negropont anti Carystos. Prince Maurocordato has, it is said, appointed M. Vraillard, Lieutenant-Colonel of French Engineers, his first Aid-de-Camp; to him the Greeks are in debted in a great measure for the fine defence which they made at hlissolonghi. " Seals have been placed upon the papers of the celebrated Ap pendallis, General of the Greeks in the Island of Crete, who has been arrested, and is to be conveyed to Napoli di Romania, where his trial will take place according to the French judicial forms, adopted by the Senate. This will be the first time since the States of Passaron in Epirus that the Greeks will see the reproduction of the spectacle of a sentence pronounced by virtue of the decision of a Jury. Thus, in a country in which scarcely two years since people were hung without any form of trial, a ci vilization is awakened, which will at once bring back Greece to the finest times of its political glory. The Cretans have demand ed and obtained, for the civil and military Chief, the brave Tornbazis of Hydra, known by his abililty as a seaman, anti by a prudence, which one loves to find in a man who seems born only to command seamen. " One of the first measures of the Congress of Napoli will be to decree the pay due to the army in the last year, which it is known is to be liquidated in landed property. The property of Vacouf and the Mosques will be also distributed amongst the defenders of the country in proportion to their respective ranks, anti as much as possible according to the localities suitable to them, in pursuance of a scale of proportion already determined by a law of the year 1022."

AGRICULTURAL MONTHLY REPORT for APRIL Cold winds, anti frequent atmospheric vicissitudes, have ren dered the present a late and ungenial season. The state of the weather has been particularly fatal to the aged and the invalid; and the flocks and herds have had their share of suffering. Both fattening and store stock have been hitherto very back ward in proof ; and the ewes and lambs in the north and west, and even in districts more favourably situated, have suffered greatly. The fall of lambs was a full average, as to number and size ; hut many petished under the inclemency of the sea son, and far more dwindled away, starved from want of milk. No grass followed the turnips, which were destroyed by the frost. The difficulties of the season, however great, have been surmounted : the weather has been more favourable of late, leaving the soil in a fine friable state; and sowing the spring corn, pulse, and seed crops, is nearly finished; barley being the latest. Potatoe-planting has comm e nc e d, an d the turnip lands are likely to be in fine order. Hoeing, and rolling the wheats, have been successfully performed. Wheat, fortunately, is a hardy plant ; the general appearance of the crop is good; and, under favourable auspices, may prove highly productive, to which thinness of plant in early spring is not always a bar, per haps more often an advantage.

As every thing that relates to the Drama, in a country which produced the greatest dramatic Poet that ever existed, must be interesting to the Public, we have extracted the following article from The London Magazine for the present month. —We shall not offer any opinion of our own. It may be thought that Mr. MACREADY has too hastily given way to his feelings, and that the Critics has been too severe in his comments, bat we confess that we see no reason why Mr. MAC READY should so much repine under his situation as an actor, since the profession now tanks among the liberal arts, and since he has attained a height of popularity fully equal to his pretensions. " The following letter bears such evident marks of being in tended for the public eye, that we print it verbatim. The writer, we will venture to say, never appeared to such disad vantage before. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LONDON MAGAZINE. 69, Berner's Street, April 20. Stu—Accident made me acquainted a day or two since with your biographical account of the late Mr. lienible, in which I perceive you have, neither in a gentlemanly nor candid spirit , amused yourself, and endeavoured to prejudice your readers, by the introduction of my name. I am perfectly aware that the splenetic motives, n m io s t ta iv n es ce , s m , ill fate which condemns me to my profession has rendered htt , liable to the abuse of any person, who, gem interested er o a s y .er aee w k hic o r I have no o to co d n e trott ery i, me, sad to r ture my defamation. The vindication of my professional cha racter I leave to the independence of the leading puhlie 'jou nalists ; to whose criticisms I proudly and gratefully appeal from the attacks of the London Magazine, whfeh has (with other less respectable publications) since the accession of Messrs. Kemble, Ntrillet, and Forbes to the management of Covent Garden, most industriously laboured to distinguish Me by it* censure. I tun not weak enough to dispute your right of free into matter animadversion on my different performances; hut Yat% have stepped front the limits prescribed you by your ante, to misre present and to injure me ;—you have-chosen to assert, with' a commentary worthy the truth of your statement, that - I. ha ve been so stupidly absurd as to announce by public advertise ment that I would " condescend to play the character of Ila n ' . 41," thereby exposin g inc to the indignant censures of every individal possessed of judgment, taste, or even natural sensl bility. It has so chanced, Sir, that I have never read the advertke! molt to which you allude, and on which you found your right' to traduce, and hold me up to ridicule and contempt. Even had I been guilty of such more than childish folly, liars tal: thorize its publication, I cannot discover what appce I sin could have to your subject ; nor why it was incliipens.__ le . to the funeral honours of your friend, that his successors ??
