TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Aug. '26. [MORNING HERALD.] Chateanbriand has lately published a pam phlet relating to the Ministry in France, and the - restoration of the Censorship. To the people of this country it is matter of little consequence whether the French Press be free or not. On the score of interest, it should not be free. This Censorship is of a piece with the passport and police system of France. The effect is to impede the progress of commerce, manufactUres, arts, and the various intercourses of life. The conse quences to England are, that it reconciles to their own country those who, after having left it for a time, return, and never again wish to leave it ; because, in England, we enjoy the freedom of the Press—are not liable to the vexatiousness of the horrid passport system—and the police troubles us but little, except we do something wrong. This difference between England and France is the reason why we progress in a manu facturing, commercial, and other respects, and that France does not, in any thing like the same comparative ratio. Therefore, as Englishmen, and presuming that we like our own country best, we ought to rejoice whenever we hear that the French Government is so silly as to throw such impediments in the way of the pros perity of the French people. Any one reading this pamphlet may see that M. Chateaubriund is , greatly galled in being turned out of the Ministry, and his gall is probably increased by his finding that France gets on without him. M. Cha teaubriand, in his day, has been much ad mired. Ile was worshipped, to it certain degree, as a great man, and it is well known that when such men fall they find that their worshippers full oil too, which so enrages them that they make a great noise. So it has been with M. Chateaubriand, and has been with thousands of others for time immemorial. There has always been on the part of mankind too great a worshipping of great men. But in France great rnt;rl are more idolized than they are in England. This arises from the nature ofthat Government— it being more absolute than ours, more depending, skid therefore, more subservient to any one man; "tut even in France we see that after a great man has been laid aside for a little time, another suc ceeds, him, and he, in his turn, becomes the idol for the moment—not for his own sake, but for the hope all people have of gaining some advantage to themselves by being acquainted with a great man. —Our Government being of so mixed a nature, not depending on any One man in particular; and as every body can pursue his commercial, manu• facturing, or other pursuits, free from inter. ruption, we are all more or less busily en gaged from tnorning till it is time to go to bed, (for human nature left to itself is infinitely snore industrious, and meddles much less with the Government, than when it is fettered) and have not time to spare to worship great men as the French have, and therefore, when the great fall, there is less fuss made about it. L'en't TIMES.] in vain that Ferdinand rakes up the very sweepings of the English money-market for UletitlS of destruction to the hest interests of Eng- Jaod. Without pretending to the honour of hav ing already foiled, by our own exertions, the wicked and baneful project of a new Sp an i s h loan, we can affirm, on undoubted authority, that no one among the leading capitalists of this king , 'dom will condescend to treat with the bankrupt Servile GoVernment. The chiefs of our monied hi terests have, we are well informed,refusedsomuch as to investigate the condition of Spanish finance, aro listen to a syllable that can be urged on behalf orate wretched creatures who have ruined it. We would, if we were able, infer from this rigour, the prevalence of lofty sentiments of freedom and philanthropy amongst our monied men. But if political morality be at a discount upon 'Change, prudence, we believe, is at a premium : so the WO Inference may be, not that the capitalists are • ashamed of a Spanish loan from any squeamish ness touching the characters of those with whom :they might have to negociate, " but that they tremble at the notorious insolvency of the bor rower, and at the wholesale destruction in which their own friends and clients, who might buy up his securities, would be involved. In the mean while, a consciousness of the coming - catastrophe 'taunts and overwhelms the partisans of the le gitimate Court of Madrid in every corner of the world. They are driven to desperation, and they are acting desperately. That credit' which they move the whole earth, and certain regions under the earth, to bolster up, they know will,, before they can find time. to turn round again, have become a perfect by-word in every count , itig.house over the . face of Europe and America. [BRITISH P 11.1155.3 The private correspondence of the Courier Francais contains an interesting account of the prevent state of Spain, and particularly ot the landing of the constitutionalists, under Torrijos, at Tarrifa. , This affair seems to have excited cop. siderable alarm in the Spatti4ii o,,ernment. The feelings of the, popuhttion may he ascer. tabled by the fact, that no opposition .whatever appears to have been offered to Torrijos. It wan not judged safe to employ the Spanish troops *t St. Koch to suppress the insurrection.-- 'rho only native soldiers Torrijos met with joined 1 !!(1). If there had been no French garrison at 9 adiz, a not h er revolution might have resulted the invasion of this handful of men. It rig! at aHY . rate decided the absolute and immediate dependence of Ferdinand's autho rity on the presence of the Constitutionalist ' , French army. 'I h e or malcontents are evidently the immense majorit f the population, no part or whom c a n b t Z ug ir g u i Y a t te o t d ha vrith arms to subdue an insurrection, country is garrisoned with French troops.

', That some plot is hatching we have .. no doubt and that the French Government is either parti cipant or cognisant of the meditated attempt, we have as little hesitation in affirming our belief. There has of late been a mysterious activity in the French navy. The pending negociations for the new Spanish loan, the known and avowed feelings and wishes of the French Ministeral Papers, and the projected Congress, seem obviously to point at the saum conclusion, which will be prevented only, if at all, by the failure of pecuniary ability in Ferdinand and his Royal and Imperial friends. We hope and trust at least that no Englishman will be found to take any share in the raising of a loan intended to be applied to the injury of the commerce of his country, to the destruction of the liberty and happiness of a vast continent, and to the renewal of the atrocious cruelties and mas sacres perpetrated by the blood-thirsty Morillo in his Venezuelan campaigns. [MORNING} POST.] It appears, from the trial of a Negro at St. Catherine's, Jamaica, for killing a wretched fe male slave in attempting to perform a miraculous cure, that Prince llohenlohe and Father Carroll have some formidable rivals among the lowest of the Blacks in the West In dies. We must say, however, that his sable Highness of St. Catherine's was a much more dextrous operator than the Wexford Priest, for he absolutely persuaded the bystanders that he ex• tracted dogs' teeth, pieces of glass bottle, and coals of fire out of the poor patient's back, and executed this slight of hand ingeniotnly, that although he allowed his mouth to be previously examined, the deception was not detected. Fa titer Carrot's tub-dancing was surely a clumsy trick compared with the foregoing ; and, more- Over, we think the negroes showed considerably more sagacity than the Wexford peasants. The former doubted a little, and examined a little, before they believed; the latter did neither; but very like a silly flock made a clear passage for the Devil to escape through, after he was ejected from possession of Miss Sinnot. The comparison thus forced upon us is of course highly creditable to the capacity for faith en joyed by the Irish Catholics; they are, in short, thanks to the superstition which tramples them to the earth, more credulous than the besotted slave, who declared that the consequence of false sweating would infallibly be a " swelled body," with some other results appertaining to this species of punishment, which would rather shock the delicacy of our readers if re peated here. In ranking these remarks we really have no intention of speaking irreverently of the Roman Catholic religion, or hurting the feelings of the many respectable persons who profess to be its followers. We condemn' and ridicule the abuses of which designing knaves have always sought and two often succeeded to make it the vehicle or the pretence. Can Catho lics themselves say there is not a strong analogy between the Obeah and the floheulohe impos tures ; or will they now attach much value to the extent or implicitness of credulity among u set of ignorant savages. [sm TIMES:] Another publication-has just made its appear ance in Paris, which, as im historical monument, must be regarded with great curiosity We speak of The Memoirs of Fouche, a posthumous work of that notorious character. Nine years ago, when he was Minister of Police to Louis XVI 11., a short sketch of his life appeared iu England, which, so far as it went, delineated him much more correctly than his own partial pen. It spoke of his atrocities in 1793 and 1704. It cited his own recorded statements of the Churches he had plundered, and the massacres that he had perpetrated. These things he of course throws into shade. He declares that he was never a Member of any of the Revolutionary Committees. This is true as regards the Committees of Go vernment in Paris ; but at Lyon he presided for many weeks in a Revolutionary Committee,which day after day slaughtered 60, 80, 100,(20O indivi duals at a time. In short, Robespierre himself was not a more sanguinary monster. But the ac. lions . of Fouche are well known ; and if they were not, we could not expect to find them faith. fully related by himself. His opinions oo other events and persons are more likely to he impar. tial ; and they are abundantly curious. Ile is not one of those who think that the Revolution was inevitable. On the contrary he says that if Louis X Vt. had had the firmness to dissolve the National Assembly he might have sate on his throne to this hour ; and he expressly declares that the Bustile would not have been at tacked on the 14th of July, if the Gene rals had done their duty on the Nth.—After the murder of the benevolent Louis, the Go. vertiment was seized by the National Conven tion. Let us hear how Fouche describes this power. "It was a sort of monstrous dictator. ship," says he, " which grew out of the subver sion of all order, and presented alternately the picture of Athenian anarchy and Turkish des potism." The memorable 18th of Brumaire found Follette Minister bf Police to the Direc tory. It is curious to observe him (unconsciously as it were) exposing his own perfidy on that occasion. He knew all Buonaparte's intrigues to get possession of the Consulship ; he knew that the struggle was to take place that morning at St. Cloud; but he was doubtful of the event. He therefore took no step one way or the other, but sat at Paris surrounded by his Police agents, keeping his eye 011 both par ties, sending out spies every five minutes, and receiving intelligence as frequently, until the sword of Buonaparte had cut the Gordian knot. Then he hastened to salute the victor, and was rewarded by being continued in his post as Minister of Police. It has often been observed that Buoneparte, at the time of which we are speaking, showed himself far inferior to our Cromwell ; and Fouche's picture of the scene, which is drawn with great liveliness, fully confirms they remark. Cromwell's conduct was cool, deliberate, and firm, and the act was wholly his own. The part which l3uonaparte had to play was chalked out for him by Sieyes, Talleyrand, and others; and , he would have failed in the performance if it had not been for the energy of his brother Lucien, and the decision of Murat. Even in the Council of Ancients, where his adherents formed a majority, he delivered his speech with much hesitation and disorder ; but when he came to address the Council of Five Hundred he turned pale, and trembled at the opposition which he encountered, and was actu ally carried out of the Hall by his own soldiers. Fouche mentions an incident which to those who know the local situation of the Palace of St. Cloud, strongly marks the state of indecision into which Buonaparte was thrown. No sooner had he escaped from the Hall, than he mounted his horse, and galloped down the avenue, a dis. tance of above a quarter of a mile, to the bridge leading towards Paris. Near this spot was Sieyes waiting in a post-chaise with six horses. Murat joined them at the bridge. He it was that decided Buonaparte to turn back, and lead the troops against the Legisla tive Body; while Lucien, as President of the Council of Five Hundred, lent the cloak of his authority to the forcible dissolution of the Go vernment. These details give a tone and colour to the transaction very different from what is commonly imagined, and we see in them traits perfectly consistent with the flight from the Army in Russia, and the Suave qui peal at Wa terloo. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The follo;ing letters from Chill are from a source which may be depended on for informa tion respecting the application of the Loan, the pouspeet.of re-payment or even payment of the interest, and the present political condition of the people. No comment from us is necessary. SANTIAGO, CHILI, APRIL 23, 1024. I was pleased yesterday to receive a long letter from my old friend ; it is the first I have had from him since he left us, and though of old date, it was no less welcome. It gives me an interesting detail of all the Loans for South America. His account of the concoction of the Chili Loan is, I doubt, not correct. He, however, made a mistake when he said, the odd sort of a thing we have here under the name of Government would not acknowledge it. The•loan-maker understood the Chilenos well, and performed his part admirably. Ile sent them a remittance in hard metal, instead of bills on London.— The sight Of the money, as he well knew, would be too tempt ing to meet with a refusal. It came at a time, too, when the country was divided by opposing factions, and thus enabled those who had power to share it among them,— He asks shrewdly enough, how can the Chilian Government pay 400,000 dollars annual interest on the loan out of a gross revenue not exceeding 1,200,000 dollars ; he knows as well as 1 do, it neither can nor will pay interest. Even now they can hardly make both ends meet, and are always anticipating the revenue by borrowing of the merchants, who obtain more than equivalent advantages for the accommodation. I have heard that a number of the native merchants offered the Government to pay the interest of the loan for ten years, provided the Go. vernment gave them a monopoly to import wines and spi r i ts , and receive all the duties thereon on their own account ; or rather to supersede all duties in their favour. I have not as yet learned all the details, but it would be an advantageous ar. rangement. No Englishman has sufficient confidenc e i n th e ' good faith of the Government to become interested in the pro. paced arrangement. Natives may have a better chance, but there is no positive reliance, either on the stability of the Go vernment or the honour of those who compose it. The Loan has been of no use whatever to the country, not a dollar has been applied to any public use. It has been a job all through —a job in England for the advantage of a few individuals—a job here among the natives high in office, who have appropri. aced the proceeds to their own use. All the naval stores sent out as part of the Lo an , i ns tead of b e i ng appl i ed to naval pur. poses, have been sold by the Public Officers for a mere trifle, the money d w i n dl e d away, and now that it is all spent, people call out agai ns t the. Loan. My own o pi n i on is that no ar rangement to pay the interest will b e made, anti that conse. quently it will remain unpaid.

The Chilenos at Coqui m b o, in the North of this Country, are in high dudgeon with the Constitution, nearly the whole of the export duties of Chili are produced in the province of Coquimbo, by the Shipping of copper; this constitutes a very large proportion of the State revenue, The Coquii»banos, who know their own consequence, are more independent than the inhabitants of most of the other provinces, are exceedingly dissatisfied at finding themselves to tally excluded from all h ore in the government, and at the in fluence they possessed being extinguished by the political or rangemeets under th e new Constitution. Much the same feel ings pervade the people at Conception in the south. But to the Chilenoe generally it is of very little importance what form of government is imposed upon them • and if an open t ra d e cou ld be secured, I am satisfied they woulll prefer to be governed by a foreign power, to th e t r o u bl e o f government themselves. They would hail such an event as a guarantee of undisturbed tram). quillity by cutting off all chance of internal broils and civil discord. MAY 17,1884.---There is a talk of another change of Go. vernment ; General Pinto, a native Of Buenos Ayres, but mar ried here, Is said to be destined to fill the office of Su preme Director, in the place of General Freyre, to which some assert the latter will offer resistance ; but as he has failed in his expedition against Chloe, of which I have ifiven you the detailed account, I do not expect much chew of resistanc e from him, or from any b o d y for him. Discontent spreads rapidly, and i much increased i n i ntens i ty b y t h e general circluation of a letter sent by Lord Cochrane to the auditors of public accounts, which has produced a great sen sation. It seems that the Governors owe sonic tlO,OOO dol lars to Lord Cochrane for prize money ; his claims had been put off until he left the country, since which time he has written repeatedly to Correa, the Accountant-General, as well as to the Supreme Director. Ile has been replied to by Correa, who told him that his claims could not be acknowledged till he produced proofs in support of his claims. Cochrane has, as is usual with him, replied to this in a spirited and de. termined manner. He tell a them that it would have been strange, indeed, if he had not seen through the shallow policy of the Government In procrastinating the settlement of claims due to the defenders of their Independence, under the liiitlinhoofseticrlianigmosuitn t d iT s i p r ei cia , tience, and reducing them to give but he says he is not one of these wlio will be thus defrauded. Ile asks what more or what bet. ter proofs they want, or can be given, than the capture of Val divia, of the Esmeralda, of the Ananguza, the Afercetlas, and other vessels, and the public documents reco r d e d i n their archives; what better proof of these captures than the employ ment of these vessels in the Chileno service, and of their being now anchored in the Bay of Valparaiso ? What better proof of the share be claimed, than the proportion adjusted by the Government ? He treats the conduct of Correa and the Go vernment in a very severe way, and promises to risk his all in compelling them to pay hint all his just claims, as well as those of all who served under him, who annihilated every vestige of maritime force of the common enemy of South America. It' he comes round Cape Horn on this business, he will make those who refuse to do justice, shake In their shoes ; they dread his corning ; but almost every one, not immediately connected with the Government, wish It, as it will blow up the present syst e m, and my opinion is, that he will come shortly. NATURAL, CURIOSITY. FISH POND AT LOGAN.---The fish pond at Logan, or Port Nessock, formed in 1800, an d re-peopled since by many successive generations of cod, is an artificial basin of salt water, 30 feet deep, by 160 in circumference—reckoning from the top to the bottom of the rock. The area within is wholly hewn from the solid rock, and communicates with the sea by one of those fissures, or natural tunnels so common on bold and pre cipitous coasts. In fact, it was probably this circumstance that led to its formation. A ridge of rock marching with the beach, and lashed by the waves of a thousand winters, was known to be partially undermined by the action of the water, and it occurred to the proprietor, Colonel M'Dowall of Logan, that by excavating the cen tral or principal mass, a basin might be formed at once open to the influence of the title, and so deep even at neaps as to enable fishes to disport freely in their native element, though dependant on man for their daily food, and somewhat ham pered in their migratory propensities. And this project he successively accomplished. By blasting the rock in a lateral direction,a communication was opened with the natural tunnel,and a barrier erect ed at the inner. extremity, formed of large loose stones, and so contrived as to prevent the ingress and egress of any body less insinuating than water. Attached to the pond is a neat gothic cottage for the accommodation of the fisherman, and round and round the rock is surmounted by a substantial stone wall at least 300 feet in cir cumference. In forming this basin the labour must have been great, the expence considerable ; but country gentlemen do not always count cost, and at any rate the object in view has been so completely attained that it is difficult to con ceive how a few hundred pounds could have been better bestowed. In every state of the wind or tide—in winter as well as summer, when not a single boat dare venture to sea, Col. D'Dowall can command a supply of the finest fish,and study at his leisure the instincts and habits of the" finny nations," with at least all the accuracy of those sage naturalists who rarely travel farther than Exe ter 'Change. From the inner or back door of the lodge a winding stair way conducts you to the usual halting place —a large flat stone projecting into the water, and commanding a view of every part of the aquatic prison.—When the tide is out thiastone is left completely dry,and here a stranger perceives with surprise a hundred mouths simul. taneously opened to greet his arrival. Fishes, in fact, hear as well as see, and the moment the fisherman crosses his threshold, the pond is agi tated by the action of some hundred fins, and otherwise thrown into a state of perfect anarchy and confusion. Darting from this, that, and the other corner, the whole population move, as it were, to a common centre, elevate their snouts, lash their tails, and jostle one another with such violence, that, on a first view, they actually seem to be menacing an attack on the poor fisherman, in place of the creel full of limpets he carries.— Conceive a lady feeding her chickens, a knot of urchiws scrambling for coppers, or a pack of jow lers disputing the property of a solitary bone, and you will have some idea of the ludicrous contests which even in this watery world accom pany the distribution of the loaves and fishes.— Loaves, however, is an improper term ; for as the guardian of the pond truly averred, the fish " will take nothing but what comes out of the sea."— Upon this point I was naturally a little sceptical, and to remove all doubt, purposely dropped into the pond a few crumbs of bread, which were instantly bolted at by countless competitors, and as often avoided the moment their palates dis covered the cheat ; until they were at last left to float uncared for on the furface, to be pieked i‘ u la p n perchance ) o erc f h t a l i t t:e fi b s y he t s h a e re les s s o fas t idio u s thatdiousstwhey al low. will feed greedily from the hand, and bite your fi ng ers into the barg a i n , if y ou are foolish enough to allow them : while others again are so shy that the fishermen discourses of their different tempers as a thing quite as palpable as the gills they breathe, or the fins they move by. One gigantic cod, which seems to answer to the name of Thom, and may be well described as the pa triarch of the pond, very forcibly arrested my attention. This unfortunate, who passed his youth in the open sea, was taken prisoner at the age of five, and has since sojourned at Port-Nes sock for the long period of 12 years, during all which tim e he has gradually increased in bulk and weight. Ile is now, however, se wholly blind from age or disease that he has no chance what ever in the general scramble. The fisherman, however, is very kind to him, and it was really affecting as well es curious to see the huge animal raise himself in the water; and then resting his head on the flat stone, allow it to be gently pat. ted or stroked, gaping all the while to implore that food which he has no other means of obtaining. Fish. it is generally thought, increase in bulk RO long as they live, and although the patriarchal cod, already mentioned, appears to be falling off, there is reason to think that this is chiefly, if not wholly, owing to his blindness, which iu spite of the utmost solicitude of the fishermen, pre. vents him obtaining an adequate supply of food. Altogether the pond affords so many facilities for making experiments, that I hope a new light will be thrown on piscatory history. Although regularly baited every second day, they are so voracious, that you have only to attach a limpet to a hook, and drop it into the water by means of a line, whet, a hundred mouths will be opened to receive it. A selection can 'thus be made of any trout this angler may fancy, and in this way the whole might be taken out at intervals, weighed in scales, and re . consigned to the pool without sustaininoyftbhaeitleiraigs: harm. S an d- ee l s , b roken cra b s, and limpets, form th e st a pl e ar ti c l es i n the process the former of which are given raw, while the latter must be slightly scalded, in order to dis.. engage them from the shell. keep up th e stock of these cannibals, particul ar ly w h et , the pond appe ars t o b e ge tti ng t hi n, f rom the con tribritions levi e d on it by th e coo k at Logan, is another duty o f grea t i m p or t ance, thought not nearly so labori o us a s th e f ormer . M y informant, in fact, attends to other matt ers b es id es the fis h pond ; arid occasionally, when trowling in the open bay, he takes a vessel along with " and when the fish are no that sair hurt, pops them into the tub and brings them home."-- Bony mouths are not easily wounded, and it rarely happens that any of these die. The man, however, knows from experience the neces• city of selecting fish of a certain size, as any animal of inferior dimensions would only serve as a sort of saline dessert after a hearty meal of limpets. As a set-off, therefore, to the great ad vantage of possessing fish of superior richness of all seasons of the most stormy year, we must notice the trouble of catching and feeding them; but after the original outlay, the expence thus incurred cannot be very considerable; and the fisherman is of opinion that a pond erected intim neighbourhood of London, or any other large city, would in the end become a profitable con cern, both from the superior richness of the fish fed in it, and the scarcity of the commodity during certain cold and tempestuous seasous.—.
