E LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from die Morning Papers, Oct. 27. PllEss.] The Paris Paper of . Sunday reached us last asight.. The private correspOndence of the '3lO - Would lead us to believe that the GoVerti ruent-Of Ferdinand VII. can Sometimes act upon principles of good faith. The fulfilment of the promiseS of pardon held out to the communeros and the freemasons has produced the best effects, The suspected and 'et' Ipa ble parties have readily come forward, and claimed the benefit of the Royal amnesty, and we are glad to find that,they have not had occasion to repent their confidence. A strange story is told in the same correspond ince respecting the Spanish Treasury : its desti tution is stoutly denied, and in order to convince the sceptiCal, we are assured that the Treasurer. General suffered bankers' bills, to the amount of eight millions of reels, to lie in his hands over due several weeks, before he demanded payment. Credal Judaus ! 13ut suppose it wereso, (a fact, by-the-bye, rendered somewhat doubtful by the extracts we giie from the private correspondence of the Journal des Debats,) what do the advo cotes of his Catholic Majesty seek to prove in his fevour by his solvency ? The King of Spain re fuses to pay his lawful debts. The best excuse for him is to say that he cannot. To say that he can, but will not, is to degrade him to the lowest depth of dishonesty. The Journal des Dkbuts directs its whole force now against the Minis ters Villele and Corhiere. The latter is even more unpopular than the President of the Council ; he is charged with using his power as Minister of the Interior, in the most ca pricious and oppressive manner. The pledges given by him in 1817, as deputy, are contrasted with his acts in 1824 as a Minister, end the Royalists are energetically called upon to aban don him who has abandoned the principles which gave him their confidence. Ile is represented as dismissing every public servant, who has not Ma.; nifesied the warmest zeal in upholding the vio lent system on which he and his colleagues have proceeded. But the conduct of this Breton Maecenas, as he is contemptuously styled, to wards scientific and literary men, seems particu larly to have roused public indignation against him. In our extracts in another column, we give from the Journal des Debuts some curious epee , dotes of his war with knowledge. The other Papers have also powerful articles against the Ministry. If they do not really expect a change au the King's Councils, they feign excellently. [MORNING POST.] An express brought us lust 'OO4 French Papers to the 95th inst.- and the Eloile of Monday.— Their contents are not devoid of interest. It appears by an article from the Upper Elbe, that our surmises with respect to the reported illness of the Emperor Alexander were not erroneous, and that it was at the moment wholly. political. It is now admitted that important news from the West of Europe, and nut indisposition, had mtde him change his original intent and de. tontine to return to his capital sooner than be had proposed when he quitted it, which is exactly what we pointed out at the time as the real state of the case. It is added, however, that late ad vices from the same quarter had been conveyed directly to him without passing through St. Petersburg!), and had occasioned him to re name his former intention and to pursue his journey. This seems to have been the case ; for Wired of coming back we find that he had pro. ceeded from Tembow to Orenburg, " where he bad arrived in good health." What was the na. ture of the ndvices which had so influenced the determination of the Autocrat is not mentioned ; hut we now suspect, that instead of relating to the non.evacuation of Moldavia, the first was simple communication of the death of Louis XVIII, The event had been anticipated with so much dread by the Members of the Holy Alliance as likely to be followed by attempts to overthrow the established order of things in France tint it is not surprising Alexander should have thought it necessary to return when lie heard of its having taken place. But when he 'afterwards learned how the reign of Charles X. had begun, awl that instead of meeting with any oppositiOn, it had been signalized only by the union Of all parties in one common feeling of loyalty and affection, he of. course saw that the peace of Europe was not in danger, and that he might safely prosecute his tour through the distant provinces of his vast eistiptre.—These papers contain intelligenceb from fipain to the 14th inst. A. new Act of Amnesty is said to have been discussed in the King's Coun. cil; more comprehensive in its nature titan that of the Ist of May, which was only a crockery of the name it bore. If this he true, it is the result of the late representations of the French Government, and creates a hope that will. don of Charles X. may produce in Spain a por tion at. least of , the benefits which it has already conferred upon his own people and country. ETHIL Ip the remarks which we made, and must con tinue to make, on the soldiers not committed by any kuown law of England for the riot and as sault at Chelsea, we must again disavow any wish to 'aggravate the offence itself, or to subject the offenders to an extraordinary severity of punish ment, if the military should suffer them to be tried, anti a conviction take place. Our com plaint is at the violation of the Constitution, by the operation of a standing army during .peace.— ile riot and assault, it appears, were committed 50 rung ago as on Thursday,the 14th inst., during which a Magistrate was insulted, threatened with death, and put in danger, other peace ofil(*er* wounded, and it was for some time uncer tuin murder had not taken place. The of- Afemlers were not brought up to the Police Office 'for commitment till Friday, the 22d instant, eight days after the riot. Where were they, WO Oi l Outing that interval ? The civil power does gppear to have had hold of them. — Monstrous as the thing would once Nive l seemed, the civil power dared not follow titer'''. Murder might have been committed—it was uk. , . certain for several clays that mrtrder had not been committed ; during those days, the laws of- the country were in abeyance ; the Magistrates issued no warrants, the peace -officers of• the country dared take- no steps for the apprehension of the offenders, because they were. soldiers. As soon as 'the offence is committed, the offenders are taken into their barracks: those who follow them to prefer a complaint are. insulted. When the offenders are at last brought forward for ex amination,-their officers bail them; and take them back with them into the barracks. These are the very practices of the Przetorian Guard at Rome. Their castra stalivis, or barracks, were on the confines of the city, by the road which led to the Emperor's villa: there they lived in military pomp and haughty subjection to each other; but insulting, maltreating, and heating the wretched citizens, whenever they pleased, and retiring into their fastnesi for protection and security. We entreat the classical reader to peruse the 16th Satire of Juvenal—Quis nurperare queat felids, prwmia, Galle, Militith ? *---tee 'will therein find the very description of the Chelsea riot, and the Knightsbridge Barracks..

Were they not, on the contrary, kept in the bar racks, and out of the reach of the civil magis trate, for eight days, during which period it was uncertain whether they had not committed mur der, but very certain that they had committed violence against the persons of several of his Ma jesty's subjects ?

[NEW TIMES.] Yesterday there was a variety of reports upon the authority of the letters received from Paris by the French Mail, which was the only arrival, from the Continent. Rumours of a change of the French Ministry were mentioned as prevailing in Paris, and that the Duke Mathieu de Mont morency was likely to be appointed to a seat in the Cabinet. Another report which more immediately affected the money market was, that instead of any alteration in the French sys. tern of finance as existing at present, in order to provide for the claims on behalf of the Emigre nts, a Loan would be required, and which, it was stated, might be obtained upon advantageous terms. These reports were generally considered to rest on feeble grounds ; but the price of French Funds declined one half, per cent, and the Scrip of the last Loan still more; Consols were opened at 96ii closed at 95i 6 for the Ac count.—The accounts from New York produced many sales in Mexican Bonds, which declined from 62i to 61i. All Funded Securities were slightly depressed, but no-111 teration of importance took place beyond what we have. noticed. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] Letters were received yesterday from Odessa, dated the Ist instant, which contain the import. ant intelligence that a conspiracy, which threat ened to be extremely formidable, 'from the num ber of persons implicated in it, had been happily detected at Constantinope. The object of the conspirators, who, when they were plotting against the security of the State, filled some of the highest offices, civil and military, at the Porte, was , nothing less than the dethrone tnent of the Sultan ; but what their ulterior plans were is not stated. Though this news will excite very little surprise in the pre sent critical circumstances of the Ottoman Empire, it is so far highly interesting, as it serves to chew the profound impression which the successes of the Greeks have made on the minds of their enemies. The last ad vices, which were received ut Odessa from the Turkish capital, are dated the 27th ult.; and they state, that the agi tation occasioned by the discovery of the conspi racy *had by no means subsided, which was ac counted for by the discontent apparent amongst the Janissaries, who were, moreover, strongly sus pected of having favoured the views of the conspire turs. Most of the latter, however, have been seized, and no doubt was entertained but their punishment would correspond with the crime of which they were accused. The Sultan is said to have dis, played, in this perilous emergency, his usual energy and presence of mind ; but this new in stance of his firmness is only a precarious gua rantee that it will not be soon exposed to a trial perhaps more severe, particularly as the reverses sustained by the Turkish arms were ►iot known to the full extent at the date of our intelligence. We must observe, however, that another respect able house in the City, has received letters from Odessa of the same date as the foregoing, and that they make no mention of the conspiracy. (MORNING CHRONICLE.] We have not heard whether any person, was killed or wounded in the affray which took place on the 20th instant, at Bexhill, between the blockade men and the smugglers. Much firing, took place. As th e slain a re h owe v e r, certainly generally thrown into the marsh ditches, after these midnight skirmishes, there is always a temporary :uncertainty as to those who may have renew during an indiscriminate It is said that a blockade man received a douceur of fifty pounds to allow tile smug gled goods to pass whilst he was on guard. He • . .• has since deserted. The evening was very still and quiet; owing . to this circumstance, the trans• action was overheard and detected by the neigh. bowing centinOs. We find also, that about 'a fortnight since, on the day of the Hastings races, when many boats with passengers were passing and re-passing by the sea-dorii towards the course, a small vessel approached the coast, arid was fired into, whim a poor seaman, of the name of Cobbey, was shot in the shoulder; many days elapsed •before the ball was extract ed, and we still fear that be must be a cripple for the rest of his life. It is possible that the small vessel in question might have had smuggled 'goods on board, but we doubt very much whether any one is warranted in firing, until it he ascertained whether the goods be or be not contraband, on . a mere suspicion ; and we also - doubt if the blockade men are warranted in firing until there be an actual refusal to surren der the goods, accompanied by resistance. On this occasion, no one on the shore could know any thing of the nature of these goods. [MORNING lIERALDI We learn that a curious scene has been exhi bited at a meeting of the Galway branch of the Irish Bible Society, held last week. His Grace the Archbishop of Tuam took the chair, and two Clergymen, supporters of the Institution, were heard in commendation and furtherance of its object. A Roman Catholic Clergyman, named Daly, now presented himself, but the Archbishop peremptorily refued to hear from him a word— clamour and confusion of course ensued. A mo tion was made to remove the Archbishop from the Chair, which he refused to put, but at last abdicated and retreated, and the place of meeting was surrounded .by a' military force of the 10th Hussars. The Assembly, however, did not disperse—the Chair was taken by a Protestant Barrister, and several resolutions, moved by Protestant Gentlemen, were put and carried.— These resolutions were in substance condemna tory of the Right Rev. Chairman's conduct— complained of the calling of the armed force, but bore testimony ,to the good conduct of the troops, and lastly denounced as mischievous the proceedings of the Hibe - ruian Bible Society. We should add, that an address to the Lord Lieu tenant, on the calling out of the military, was also agreed to, and forwarded to 'Dublin. Sup posing this sketch corredt, and we have reason to believe' it is, there can be but one opinion of the tendency of these meetings. The Society, instead of carrying the olive branch, are scattering firebrands, if one may venture to be a' little figurative at an humble dis tance, in speaking of these great dealers in me taphor. ror the last few months, their peregri. nations and meetings have produced nothing btrt confusion, discord, and religious animosity. The Catholics, especially the poorer and more Igno rant, have taken the alarm at what they consi der an attempt to proselytize their children— and, indeed, nothing but hardihood or hypo crisy of no common 'stamp, could venture upon a denial that proselytism is the object. Well, then, how does the queition stand ? This Society professes to rely for success upon f ree di scuss i on and the force of truth. In this instance we find all the world—Catholic as well as Protestant — invited, 44 kindly Invited, 'to attend the meet ing —this done 'by public advertisement and by handbills. Now, upon what pretence of fair ness or propriety can these gentlemen insist upon having the game entirely to themselves— hating only one side heard—and thrusting the .indiscriminnte use of the Bible " without note or comment," down Protestant as well as Ca tholic throats, without tolerating one tittle in op position. It is a favourable symptom, even that the Catholic Clergy should enter the arena of free discussion, and stake their creed upon the issue. It proves not merely a sincere and confi dent conviction--but more enlarged and liberal ideas—and as to the rectitude or obliquity, or absurdity of their opinions, any person who has paused, or can p ause , f or a moment even o f lucid interval, upon the wild and various digressions of religious and philosophical be lief, in the progress of the human mind, will regard with tolerant, undogmatical (if one may use the term) indulgence, tenets the most different from his own—and even the most repugnant to his own notions of speculative truth. We are informed that the members of this Society, mean henceforth to confine its meet ings to themselves. They had better—much better —vote their own dissolution. Proceeding in the dark will only increase suspicion and odium. Fieatly—religion, io a country like Ireland, should be left wholly to the parents, in any system of public education. But, in truth and fact, education is not the object of these gen. tlemen. They are just as hostile to knowledge as the Catholic Clergy—the only difference be. ing, that the latter would engraft Catholicism— the former Methodism, upon ignorance.

Conscious o f his own imperfections, he called ati upon a young medical friend, to ascertain, if possible;the nature of the questions he might be asked. He was informed of the utter impossi bility of even guessing at what might be requir. ed ; they might be the most simple, or the most abstruse; but for your comfort I can tell you eight out of twelve are returned.—" You can at least," said the Tyro, " put a few to me." He did so; and found him extremely deficient.— The thing, however, must be done; and a few days since he was ushered before the Learned Doctors. Mr. A-----, the eminent Surgeon, presided. The first question put was—" Pray, sir, how would you pass a catheter?"--Our novice was irresolute, and the question repeated; when with the utmost simplicity he replied-- " with great care and attention, Sir, as laid dawn in your Lectures."

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 21;. LIBEL. 31011.NTNO HERALD.—DILINCAN v. THWAITE AND oTPIIIIII. In this case au action was brought by the plaintiT, who is an attorney residing in New Inn, to recover from the defendants, who are the Proprietors, editor, and printer of The Marling Herald newspaper, compensation in dameges for injury sus tained by him in consequence of two libels,purporting to bee report of proceedings which took place at_ Bow-street Polio Office, before Taos. HALLS, Fsq. one of the Magistrates of that Office, on the Bth and lAtli of July 1823, and which libels appeared in The Morning Herald newspaper on the 10th and 16th of July 1823. - The libels stated; ". that the plaintitfun derwent an examination at Bow - street P ol i ce Office upon a charge of assault upon a child named Anne Chartres, with in' tent to violate her person ; that the evidence displayed such a complication of disgusting indecency 'as prevented them (de. fendanoil from going into detail; but, the libel added, that it was but justice to the accused to stare that he denied the assault, and that the child prevaricated in some measure. The defendants first pleaded the general issue ; and, secondly,' w that examinations had taken. place at the l ' u bli c Officeat Bo' street, on the Bth and 15th of July 1823 ; that the examination did display disgusting indecencies that the alleged libel was s fair, true, and correct report. of that exanainatiou—that it was inserted as public news in a news a. the defendan ts had no malicious motive towards the plaintiff in thing 6" neivs 3nd that they merely gave what they as proprie t ors fair report of a paper felt themselves entitled to give , a and first plea, of an open and public examination at a Public Police Office , In one of these pleas the defendants demurred for their in 4 sufficiency. Mr: PaTrrstass this day, in support of the demurrer, con' tended, that according to the • defendants' own admission, the would call their opinion of the proceedings proceedings, must fall to the ground, because talibel did not contain the examinations at length. He also nded, that , the defendants could. not now place upon the record the deposi tions at large of the surgeons, Ik e. , in order toitts ll fY w hat its stating the libel to be a full and true report of the even admitting that the defendants would be justified in resort ing to such evidence in another case, he contended that in the present case the defendants had no right topublish an c-parfe proceeding before a Magistrate.

THE RETURN from TRANSPORTATION. About nine years ago a man named Finny, alias,Billy Morgan, was transported. Ile had been what is called an out-and-onter amongst the thieves, and had been con cerned in several cart and waggon robberies. The Police had had their vigilant eye upon him for a -length of time, and at !last succeeded in catching him in a cart, to which he and two othei thieves had transferred a large piece of cloth, in the neighbourhood of the Angel Inn, 'lslington. He and his as sociates were transported. The conduct of Finny, who was so named in consequence of• an apparent defect in the hand, !which, however, was benefited by the deformity giving him :the power of rapidly grasping the property of others, was un exceptionable at New South Wales. He worked hard, and be. came possessed of nearly two hundred dollars. The period of his transportation (seven years) having expired, he was deter• mined to return to his native country and reform altogether. But how to effect this was the rub. Ile was apprehensive that he would' meet with some impediments at home if he did not ap pear independent, and therefore resolved at all hazards not to spend . a shilling of his honestly earned property until he once more got into his old quarters. A vessel was about to sail for England. • He stitched his money about his person, and without bidding any one good bye, contrived to stow himself away between two bales in the hold of the ship, without being seen by a human being. He calculated very fairly that if he could manage to keep his 'Own secret for a few days, the vessel would not be likely to return 'merely to dispose of hitn. In his hurry and anxiety to leave the place of retribution, be, however, forgot to carry about Min the means of supporting existence. The ship sailed, and for six days' the unfortunate convict kept his place without Murmur and without a morsel of food ; but the hope which sustained him for so great a length of time, even under the controul of farnine, began to lose its effect upon his physical vigeur, and the ship's crew were on the seventh day alarmed by his groans. He was pulled by the legs from his place of refuge, and presented a spectacle of the most appalling descrip tion. By the united skill of the surgeon and the cook he speedily recovered. The Captain believed that he had on board a '‘ returned transport," and did not give credit to the assurance of Finny that his time was out" and he was authorised to come home. In order to prevent his escape more effectually, she poor adventurer was double ironed, and in that condition he was landed in Wapping, taken before a Magistrate a few days ago, and charged with the capital offence of breaking away from his sentence. Finny was quite at ease the moment he set his foot on dry - land, and returned the Captain many' thanks for his comfortable passage. He assured the Magistrate that his term of transportation had elapsed two years ago, and de- dared that nothing should ever tempt him to deserve another voyage in the same direction. He described his affection for home as a passion which increased in proportion to the difli culties that presented themselves, and vowed that he was' effectually cured of his old habits by the wholesome castiga tion of exile. The MAGISTRATE told him it was necessary for him to prove that he had not violated the law by returning before he could be set at liberty. Finny named several Officers who were aware of his sen. tence, and requested that Bishop might be sent for. This was done, but Bishop had no recollection of the man. Harrison, the Marshalman, however, having heard of the circumstance, paid the convict a visit, and immediately recognised him as an old acquaintance. It has since been ascertained that Finny's account of himself was correct, and he was liberated yesterday, upon which ()erasion' he declared that rather than put his game hand upon the property of other peOple, he would descend to the very meanest occupation.
