LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [The Times.] Yesterday tnoroing dispatches -mere received at Fad liathurst's office, from Malin rind Gibrattar, and aim st the Admiralty, from the conlowooling Naval Officer on that station. The Aid survey ing vessel, Captain Smith, had retu rne d f rom a complete examioation of the shores of the Adri e ,vhich he had been assisted by some An stlian Officers, sent for that purpose from Vi enna. The Weymouth store-ship Will to bring home a cargo of timber for the use of the dock yards, from Trieste. The German Mail communicates, in an article dated Warsaw, two letters, whiCh are said to have been written by Kosciusko, within a year or two of that bero'sdeath:--one addressed to Priucetzar torinski, the other to the Emperor Alexander, on the subject of a re-union under a single denomi nation, as they arc already under the same scep tre, of all those provinces of ancient Poland con tained between the Vistula, the,Dnieper, and the Duna, which acknowledge the Russian stv,i7 . _ This measure, which was very naturao7 an o bj ect clear to the heart of the PoHO.. %trio', is said to !; 7 '-' ll ?,!* "me ;n the serio us contem •cl th . e Elr.',7elor. It wou ld restore, if not the indeprnuence, at leas: the integrity of th great kingdoM of roland, with the exception of tialicia, and of that trifling part which still remains to Prussia. Thus all the acquisitions made by the Russian Empire towards the West, throughout the course of the last hundred years, would nominally re-unite themselves with that vast accession tat Polish territory which re sulted to Russi a f rom t h e Congress of 1814. Tile pride and national spirit of Poland might indeed be soothed by such a compliment ; nor does there appear sufficient reason why the jealousy of the Russians should be roused by an arrange ment which would mark more distinctly to the his'orian's eye the power anti magnificence A ccr g to the Muscovite Empire, from the progressive 4sccudancy of her Councils and her Arms.—(Mid.) [New Timm] It 'ref very currently reported yeiterd4y that an ripress had arrived from Liverpool wlii.•lh s. sled the failure of seven, helms there. This did not cause the impression which might have Keen expec!ed ; as the Public seemed prepared for the news, eOnvinced that if it was not now really the case it would soon happen. With re spect to the payment which we stated was to he made at the India House by the Tea Trade, it appears that a request has been made by a certain number of - individuals for an extention of the time of payment for thirteen days. The House granted the indulgence required, upon those who had the benefit of it paying interest ; but allowed that it should he optional for those who liked, to pay immediately ; which it is said has been done by a great majority of the trade.

'tie Chamber of Peers assembled on Tuesday to receive the projet respectin g adopted by the Chen►her of Deputies, which was referred to the Bureaux, but nothing appears to have taken place with refer ence to the proposition of the Marquess de BAR- . THELsmY, for praying the KING to present a pro jet for modifying the LVA , of Election. The precise nature of this last mentioned propoSition is still involved in much oi►scuriry, it not be ing explained in any of the Journals, nor does it seen► to have been at all developed by its au thor in the Chamber, for we find in the Moniteur of Tuesday, a speech published, delivered on the oecasiou by the Marquess de LALLY TOLLENDAL, in which he expressly calls upon the Marquess. de BAITHELIIMY, either to withdraw the propo sition, or to render it clear and intelligible.—The following are extracts : " Palm, Fea. 24.—Yesterday the King receiv ed the Foreign Aolhassadois and Ministers.

Whereas a Convention between the United Status of America and his Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and ireland,was made and concluded at London, on the 20th day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, by Albert Gallatin, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary o f the United States to the Court of France, and Richard Rush, their Euvoy Extraordinary and Annister Plenipotentiary to the Court of his Britannic Majesty ; and the Right Hon. Frede rick John Robinsr,n, Treasurer of his Majesty's Navy, and President of the Privy, Council for Trade and Plantations, and Henry Goulburn, Esq. one of his Majesty's Under Secretaries of State; fully authorised and empowered by their respective Governments : And, whereas, the said Convention was duly ratified by his Royal High ness the Prince Regent, in the name and on the behalf of his Britannic Majesty, on the 2d day of November, in the year of our Lord One Thon sand Eight Hundred and Eighteen ; and by the President of the, United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate thereof, on the 28th day of January following ; and whereas the ratifications of the two Governmen'ts were ex changed in the city of Washington, on the 30th day of the present month of January, by John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State of the United States, on the part of the United States, and the Right Hon. Charles Bagot, i bis Britannic Ma jesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary, near the United States, on the part of his Britannic Majesty; the articles of which Con vention are, word for word, as follows : [We have no room for the Articles this day ; they are partly described above; we propose to give them on Monday.] Now, therefore, be it known, that I, JAMES MON ROE, President of the United States, have cause►l the !sir! Convention to be ►t r ade public, to tie end that the same, and every clause and arti cle thereof, may be observed and fulfilled, With good faith, by the United States, and the Citizens I hereof, In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my [L. S.l hand, and caused the Seal of the United States to he affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this thirtieth day of January,in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and nineteen, and of Independence the - forty-third. JAMES MONROE. By the Pre s ident. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, Secretary of State. As our Readers must be surfeited by the fulsome adulation which Sir FRANCIS BURDETT daily pours upon 11r. Llouriousa, and Mr. HOBHOUSE, in return, pours upon the Baronet, we conceive that we ought not to load our Paper with such offen sive trash. It is said that a matrimonial connexion is about to take place between the two august H ou s e s, and this rumour may be conceived to account for the extraordinary exertions of the Baronet. The report has been stated in a News paper, •as well as" by private cireulation. We ourselves know nothing of the fact, but if it be well' founded, the Electors may judge of the Public Spirit of both parties.—With respect to the Yellers who stand in front of the Hustings, roaring abuse against all who vote for Mr. LAMB, and who will not suffer that Candidate to be beard, it would be lolly to suppose, judging from their appearance as well as their conduct, that they are not hired for the purpose. They consist of the most savage Desperadoes, who could not spare time, unless they were hired for the occasion.—We see and near what they do by day, and we rudy conceive what they do by night.—lt is highly to the cre di t of Mr. LAMB that such miscreants should b e hi s op ponents. We respect the very lowest persons wh o are industriously employed, but we m ust b o l d in alt. horrence the brutal band of Burdetlites, who render a scene o f outrage g ie r i stc i e l f: s l ti t n o gs a e c v i e v r iriz d e a d y Country. It is not to be supposed that there is even one real Elector among this JACOSINICAL BANDITTI. 111. • EIO.3IIOUSIS yesterday vented abuse again upon Mr. Fox. The Whigs therefore have a new stimulus for exertion. The Baronet cried peccavi for his recent scurrility against the Editor of The Morning Chronicle, who, for what he before said, migfit well style him foul-mo?ltLed Declaimer !". The Baronet and his Protege went last night in a hackney coach on a round of visits to many low Public-houses, where, no doubt, if they did not procure fresh Voters, they supplied themselves with a new Relay cf Ruffians. • STATE OF THE POLL YESTERDAY.

It is said that the Government of France are now fully sa tisfied that neither foreign commerce, nor do mestic manutdc►ures, furnish so sure a basis of political power as Agriculture; and have resolv ed, therefore, to direct their principal attention to the improvement of Husbandry in all its branches. 'l'be plan they have formed for that purpose seems to he well designed, and cannot fail to produce very important Consequences. ritIVATE AND AtTTIIENTIC CORIIF,SPOND:Cirt. cvs PARES, FEE 22.—Witbin three little mouths ,he have h a d th ree li tt l e Mi n i sters o f Finance. l ily Count C ORVETTO was too t i m id to atternPt itss grand pl an , even possessing the conviction o f success.
