THE LONDON JOURNALS, DAILY _Extracts front the Morning Papers, June 22. [MORNING POST.] The Eloile of Sunday and other Paris Journals of Saturday reached us last night by Express.— The only article like intelligence which they contain is one which does no great honour to France or to its Monarch. It is the gracious re ception of the Portuguese rebel at the French Court. Instead of being kept at a distance from the metropolis,as was originally expected, he has not only been allowed to make it his place of re sidence, but has had the honour of being pub licly folded in the King's arms, as if he had not brought with him the reputation of a traitor, and a hand but just guiltless of a father's blood. It is possible that he may have been kept in counte nance during this interview by the presence of some of his accomplices, for there is scarcely any doubt that one part of the French Ministry was connected with the plot which was to rob the _King of Portugal of his last remaining kingdom, and to lay that country as completely as Spain now is, at the disposal of France. The Papers hostile to M. de Villele have set afloat fresh ru mours of an approaching change of Ministry. The Journal des Debats even half threatens him with being turned out before the opening of next Ses sion : but it appears on the contrary that he is daily acquiring strength, and that when that pe riod shall arrive Lis power will be found consoli dated rather than impaired. [BRITISH PRESS.] We understand that it is the intention of our most Gracious Sovereign to visit Carlsbad for the benefit of its salubrious waters, which are of peculiar efficacy in the removal of gout. This excursion has been suggested by his Majesty's physicians ; and, if he be sufficiently restored in health to undergo the fatigue of the journey, there is but little doubt that in the ensuing month the design will be put in execution. It is, we believe, the Royal pleasure also to live in domestic retirement, as far as his high and com manding station in society will permit. His Ma jesty NVill be accompanied by those officers of his household who have for some time back been in immediate attendance about his person. The Royal Party will little extend beyond these few and select friends of his Majesty. It is expected, however, that the presence of Royalty will make the town a place of gay and fashionable visitors, during the period of his sojourn there. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] _ _ _ A letter received by express from - Paris states, that the French Government were perfectly pre pared to evacuate the Peninsula in July next, in conformity with the understanding when the oc cupation was effected, if the British Ministers thought their doing so would add to the general tranquillity of nations. It is but reasonable to. suppose that the French would gladly withdraw from the calamities which they have occasioned. Letters received by the regular mail from every quarter of that oppressed and much-injured na tion, give a dismal description of the blessings which the invasion has conferred on the Spanish people. Starvations, executions, imprisonment, robbery, and the most lawless enormities, are the fruits of the French interference to restore Fer dinand. It was not understood in Paris that any successor to the Viscount Chateaubriand would be immediately appointed. The news from Lis bon has created some activity in the British Funds. The Consols opened yesterday at 95H, and advanced to 95, with an appearance of a fur ther improvement. It is understood that the amount of the old Fours, to be paid off next Oct. is so small that it will not be necessary to di vert the Sinking Fund from its legitimate opera tions on the Consols, by applying the whole of it to the redemption of the Exchequer Bills, out of the proceeds of which the Dissentients are to be paid off. It is also understood that the Quar terly Revenue, on the sth proximo, will be found more than usually prosperous, occasioned entirely by the melioration of the condition of the artisans and manufacturers, the effect of the increased consumption for British labour in the new Ame rican Republics. Money is also now so plentiful that the 1- i rd. Exchequer Bills bear a premium of 2.55. per cent., and it will soon be considerably increased by the issue of the forthcoming divi dends. Every ship of war which arrives from South America is loaded with specie, in re turn for manufactured goods. A letter from New Orleans, dated on the 2d of May, com municates • favourable intelligence respecting Mexico. Medina, formerly the Minister of the Emperor Iturhide, had been elected Finance Minister in the room of Mr. Alaman, and hence it may naturally be inferred that the arrival of the General is expected by the Government.— Spanish Bonds are one per cent. dearer. This improvement is occasioned by the convocation of the Portuguese Cortes, for it is probably vainly expected, that the absolute Ferdinand will imi tate time conduct of King John, and by his abso lute will destroy Ws power to be absolute in fu ture. Portuguese Bonds are one per cent. higher, and few of them are on sale. Neapolitan Bonds are one per cent. higher also. On Saturday last, Donna Maria Theresa del Riego y Riego, widow of General Don Rafael del. Riego y Riego, died at her residence, No. 13, Seymour-place, Little Chelsea. This lady, whose fortunes have so 'deeply interested public sympathy, was the daughter of Don Joaquim del Riego y Bustillo, and Donna Josefa del Riego Florez. She was born on the 15th May, 1800, in the town of Tineo, capital of the district of the same name, in the province of Asturias, and was the eldest of seven children, having, at the time of her death; three brothers and three sisters living, all of whom were separated from her by the fatalities of civil war, except one sister, Donna Lucie, whom neither peril nor privation could distract from the exercise of that regard and attention which she was able to Manifest under every trial. Within three months after her arrival in London the sanguinary act was per petrated . which extinguished every present consolation and future hope. The accountof his death reached her on the 15t1: of November. Her poor frame could no longer rally or resist; she wasted and withered daily under the corroding influence of a tedious decline, and at length closed her unhappy course in the embraces of her sister, attended by her devoted protector, the estimable Canon, and several distinguished and faithful EN ENV TIMES.i Spaniards, who had, to the latest moment, enjoyed the confidence 'We have 'elsewhere iven the Sierra Leon e and adhered to the fortunes of her husband, and never failed in -g proofs of respect, attention, and regard towards the widow.

[MORNING HERALD.] Lord Holland's Bill for relieving the Earl Marshal (the Duke of Norfolk) from the neces sity of taking the oath of supremacy, was last night passed by the Lords and sent down to the Commons. The Noble author of the Bill consi ders this a triumph. On Saturday it was op posed with some earnestness, his Royal highness the Duke of York calling for a division. His Royal Ilighness, the Lord Chancellor, and Lord Gifford, divided against it in a minority of 11 to '24. Last night there was no division and no speech. In the Commons, Lord George Caven dish moved, and the House unanimously adopted the Bill. Mr. Peel, not content with silent ac quiescence, said lie was desirous of seeing the Catholics of England placed on the same level with those of Ireland. The Bill was read a se cond time, and ordered to be committed this day. [THE TIMES.] The news from Portugal, given in a part of our impression of yesterday, and this day accompa nied by official documents from the Extraordi nary Gazette of Lisbon of the sth inst., must be looked upon as of no slight importance. We do not feel inclined to draw comparisons between the old Portuguese Constitution, now proposed to be re-established, and the more democratic one recently overturned. It is indeed possible, and perhaps not unlikely, that a system of Go vernment which fell to pieces shove 100 years ago, may not present materials fitted, under any circumstances, for vigorous action or for long duration. But that is not the question now be fore us. A wicked attempt had just been made to fix a despotism upon the necks of the Portu guese. Has it succeeded ? Has the tendency of the Court of Lisbon been towards an aggra vation or a relaxation of the Kingly power ? Do the late events furnish room for an increase of the hopes, or of the fears, by which all friends of ra tional freedom have of late been agitated when Portugal became the subject of their speculations ? The answer is decidedly favourable. The conspi rators were overcome—the King triumphed—and the first use of his triumph is, not to adopt, as others have done, the maxims which were em ployed against himself, but to give up unequivo cally all pretension to the exercise of that tyranny to which the occasion seemed even to invite him—to revive those institutions which, whatever an Englishman may think of them, the' great body of the Portuguese look back to with veneration—and to oppose, if not a perfect, at least a sensible and improvable barrier, against the abuses of his own Royal power. Instead, therefore, of every thing being lost to liberty, much has been gained by this determina tion of John the Sixth, in favour of the ancient Cortes—the Representatives of the Clergy, Lords, and Commons of the realm.— Nor is it quite fair to assume that such an as sembly must now be as feeble in its contests with the Crown as during the 17th century. The spread of inquiry among the people—the quick and eager sympathy between the nation and its representatives, now that the press has every where, and in spite of all precautions, an effect in rousing and informing the public mind—must be regarded as a weight unknown to preceding ages, and helping the preponderancy of the worst constituted legislature over the most am bitious and domineering Court. That the British influence with the Cabinet of Lis bon should be at once proved and nou rished by every accession to the cause of mode rate and reasonable government, is surely no disgrace to this free country. England can gain nothing by any application of her influence at Lisbon which shall not tend to the welfare and prosperity of Portugal herself. The enemies of both countries, and of the common cause, may console themselves, if they think fit, by reading in the French newspapers how civil a reception has been given at the Court of Louis XVIII. to Miguel, the ultra-Royalist conspirator, and un natural usurper of the rights of his indulgent so vereign and father. DEATH OF MADAME RIEGO. FOR THE SUN. NAVIGATION TO INDIA. MR. EDITOR—I sincerely wish every success to the plan of the Steam Navigation to India, via Malta, CairO, Suez, &c., as detailed in a Paper of the 15th. There appear to be many dis advantages and obstacles attending the proposed mode of journeying to India. The principal objections are the difficulties of the passage of the Nile, as no vessel above 100 tons can pasp the Bogaz of that river; the lake Munzalet will only admit of very small vessels, and the outlets of the Nile are very shallow, as even small craft are frequently lost by striking in passing over the surf at the Delta of the Nile. It is evident that the goods must be transhipped, and after that ex pensive and tedious labour is accomplished, they will be at the mercy of the present Pacha of Egypt, Mahommed Ali, to whose future custody and safety they must be co n sign e d. Aft er th e Passage of the Nile is effected, much trouble and management will be required in negociating with the Chiefs of the Arab tribes. That goods and merchandize may advantageously find their way from Calcutta to Suez, I freely admit, but it is the intermediate distance from Suez to Alex andria, where insuperable impediments will con stantly occur; nor can it for a moment be sup posed, that, without the Pacha has a direct interest and participation in the profits, he will permit the transit of goods or passen gers through his territories. Allowing a pro mise of co-operation were, exacted from him, his faith at all times would be doubtful; nothing but self-interest or fear, can bind a Turk to his en gagements. The merchants of India have pa tronized the plan, and well they may, as nothing can he easier than for them to send and bring away merchandize from Suez, but it is on our side of the water to which our attention must be directed, and here another great inconve nience and delay presents itself in the unavoid able quarantine performed by all vessels and persons coming from Egypt. Did Egypt be long to a European Nation, no speculation of the present day could possibly promise more great and solid advantages than the steam navigation to India, but the case is widely different when we have to deal with an avaricious, faithless, and powerful Paclur, who, however en lightened he may be, is still a Turk. Few Pas sengers to India will have the courage to risque the dangers and difficulties attendant on the jour ney ; two persons of late years in pursuing that route have been cut off, to say nothing of the fever, plague, and opthalmia. In au un dertaking of this magnitude, and one so fraught with novelty and objections, we cannot be too cautious in our inquiries, and in ascertaining a full and accurate knowledge of the country and people. To attain this necessary information, a reference should he made to the Earl of Mount Norris (formerly Lord Valencia) whose ex tensive travels in these countries are well known to the public—his local experience and practical information would be the surest data to go on, and those who have read his admirable work will' join me in thinking that such an authority is of first rate importance. Colonel Fitzclarence should likewise be consult ed, as much useful information might be gained from him. His journey in 1818, with public dispatches from India to England by the route of Suez and the Nile, is well known to the public. All the objections here urged, and I am sorry to say, many more exist, in the Canal which I pro posed to be excavated across the Isthmus of Suez. (Vide Sus Newspaper of the Ist June), but in that proposal I did not mean to make the Pacha a party. After goods are arrived at Cairo, they were to become his pro perty and business, and though I did not then state my views fully, whether to restore the Canal of the Ptolemies, or excavate only a part of the Peninsula, I still intended to keep clear of any engagement with the Pacha, as the mer chandize in its transit was to be bona fide, his property ; purchased by him, and sold again to others, who would frequent the country and use the Canal for the purposes of trade. If the Canal was completed and the Paella became refractory or troublesome, the Red Sea being higher than Egypt or the Mediterranean, it would be no dif ficult matter to drown him and his country to gether. However that may be, until Mahommed Ali is acknowledged as an independent Prince, and has a Minister at our Court, little will or can be done, either with steam navigation, or in the Canal of Suez. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, JOHN B. SEELY, Captain Native Infantry. NYyke, Dorset, June 18, 1824. The writer of the foregoing letter, is the author of the interesting and valuable work en titled The Wonders of Elora, which has been mentioned in THE SUN, wider our head of LI TERARY NOTICE. YOUTHFUL SOICIDE.-Yesterday morning an unaccountable act of self-destruction was com mitted in Free-school -street, Horsleythawn, by a lad of sixteen years of age, named Thomas Siilenian, son of Mr. Stileman, baker. He had risen before either of his parents, and per formed the usual avocations of the morning ; afterwards breakfasting with them, without betraying any app earance f ore ign to his usual manner. He sh or tl y afterwar d s , a t th e request of his mother, Went up stairs for some shoes to clean, and not returnin4, his father remarked the circumstance, but whi c h hi s mo ther endeavoured to account for by the supposition, that being fa tigued he had fallen asleep ; this unhappily proved not to be the case, for on going up to call him he was dicov ere d suspen d e d f r om th e tester iron of his bed, with a considerable quantity of blood issuing from his mouth and nostrils, occa sioned by the rupture of a blood-vessel by the force used in throwing himself from the bed. Mr. Whiskin, surgeon, Back-street, was sent for, but the rash youth was beyond the reach of human aid. No cause for the dreadful act can be as- I signed- FOR THE SUN. THE LATE MR. MUSS. MR. EDITOR--I have just seen an article, con tained in your Paper of Thursday last,*' relative to the death of my lamented friend Mr. Muss, but which, in some points, is so exceedingly in correct that I should feel myself guilty of in justice to his memory were I to let it pass un noticed. lam persuaded, at the same time, that you will readily embrace an opportunity of cor recting an inaccuracy which has, doubtless, inad vertently been inserted in your valuable Paper. —ln the article to which I allude, Mr. Muss is made to appear as the pupil of a Mr. COLLINS, "an eminent enameller on glass." Who this eminent enameller might be, I cannot imagine, but I am quite certain that Mr. Muss could never have been indebted to him for the smallest par ticle of his greatness. It was his own rare talent, matured by years of unremitted application, that raised him to the unparalleled eminence which he held in his profession, and which brought the art of enamel painting to such exquisite perfection. —Mr.Muss was a native of London, and pursued his studies under the tuition of his father. The difficulties into which he was plunged in early life by the failure of a porcelain manufactory, in which his whole property was invested, induced him to accept an engagement under Mr.COLLINS, of the Strand, who about that time became a dealer in stained and painted glass.—Struggling beneath the weight of adversity, he remained some years in this situation, and but for the most indefatigable labour, and almost incredible exer tions, his splendid talents must have yet remained in obscurity, or have been appropriated to another's fame.—Scarcely had he emerged from his diffi culties, and succeeded in obtaining that patronage to which his works,so justly entitled him, when death suddenly deprived the country of his talents, his family of his protection, and society of his inestimable worth.—Confident that you will take an early opportunity of correcting the unjust im pression which your former insertion is calculated to produce, I have the honour to be, Sir, Your very obedient and humble servant, June 20, 53 7 Warren-street. JIEDGELAND. ' The paragraph came from a Correspondent. ANOTHER CORPORATION. (From " THE Joint BULL" of Sunday last.) We are sufficiently REFORMERS in principle to resist every thing that savours of extortion or oppression, in whatever quarter it may be found—where corruption is proved to exist let it be exposed—where it is tangible let it be rooted out. We find we have succeeded in foiling the measures con templated by the Bristol Corporation—although those wise acres, their legal advisers, were silly enough to threaten us with vengeance for having presumed to expose them. W have another Corporation under castigation at present, and we believe the public will go hand in hand with us in rejoicing at the judgment pronounced by 111 r. Justice BAILEY, upon the long pending question between that august body and the inha bitants of the Isle of Wight, whose interests have been adopt ed, and at an enormous expence advocated, by that liberal and public-spirited individual, Mr. WARD, of Northwood Park, and his son. A slight sketch of the question may be necessary for the pub lic at large, although the natives of Hampshire and the whole neighbouring coast have long had it at their finger ends. The Corporation having some obsolete claims, founded upon ' a grant from King JOHN, thought a good thing might belriade of them, it' they could be licked into some shape by an Act of Parliament ; and accordingly in 1803 they petitioned for, and obtained one from the legislature, by which these petty cus toms, as they were called, were abolished, and great things were held out in prospect to the public, in the promise of docks, which were to be constructed for the safety of ships coming to the town, and of WAREHOUSES which were to be built for the safe custody of goods which were to be imported or exported in such ships ; for these purposes certain duties were imposed by the Act. is_ _ _ Twenty years bave,now elapsed since the passing of the Act, and the Docks still remain to be constructed, and the ware ..... houses are in nubibus ;—not so the dues to be levied for Their construction and support. They without delay began to levy tolls on all merchandise imported into, or exported from the town. With this they were content fbr about 14 or 15 years, but at the end of that period, some wise man of Gotham hit upon an expedient to render the act more effective—not in raising 'docks and warehouses—but the wind. The loose wording of our Acts of Parliament too often opens a door to artful or skilful interpreters. In the schedule to this Act in the list of Merchandise on which an import or export duty was payable, there occurs .the words " Baggage and Luggage,"—this was easily interpreteß to mean the port manteau of clothes—the sac de nuit or poqicuille of every luck less passenger who had occasion to pass over the public quay of Southampton in his transit to or from the Isle of Wight, and accordingly for such articles every individual was, with a sua vity of manner peculiar to the collector of these claims, forced to pay three halfpence for every separate article which accompa nied him—nay, one gentleman having taken a bag with three shirts on board one of the passage vessels, with an intention of going to the Isle of Wight, altered his mind, and returned immediately on shore. What follows 9—he had his shirts seized because he would not pay three halfpence for what was termed AN EXPORT, and a further three halfpence for an IM PORT duty on this bag, which had gone about fifty yards from and back again to the Quay. Such an obvious imposition, how ever, was too glaring to be long endured without causing enquiry and investigation into the assumed right of levying a personal I T s s u i o p o o e n r s the th o i o n g ha it b t it p a r n o t i s )o o r f t a o l a ) o a r t ula o c riso r t h d o i i s r t r c i c o t il c T to le C r i t seizeoom the portmanteau, eix. of the above mentioned G. WARD, Esq. of Northwood Park, in the Isle of Wight, he having refused to submit to the demand on several occasions. In consequence of this, that Gentleman (and his son), in the public spirit of an independent man, brought actions against the Collector, and on Thursday 'last, the Judgment of the Court of King's Bench was delivered, declaring the illegality of all such seizures, and in effect relieving the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight from all charge on their property passing to and from Southampton. This is as it should be ; but what will the public think when informed that three verdicts had been previously given against the Corporation at the County Assizes—and that for a twelvemonth after the two first, the Commissioners still continued to levy the toll—nor discontinued the exaction until a third prepared them for the thundering' Judgment which went to annihilate diem on Thursday. It would be some satisfaction—and we own we feel some curiosity to know what the Commissioners mean to do with the large sums of money levied since the f irst verdict against them pro nounced the ,Levy to BE . ILLEGAL. They will perhaps condescend to gratify us by consulting our judgment. DuEL.-A meeting took place at five o'clock yesterday morning near Hampstead, between J. W. WILLIAMS and R. J. HOWLEY, Esqrs., when Mr. WILLIAMS was severely wounded ; but, from the skilful exertions of his medical friend, every hope is entertained of his recovery. There is no truth in the statement which ap pears in the Morning Papers, copied from the Sent Herald, that Mr. LUSIIINGTON had declined accepting the appoint ment of Governor of Bombay, and that Sir JOAN MALCOLM had in consequence been nominated to that important office.— (Morning Paper.)
