THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EAtracfsfrowthe Morning Papers, March 16. [MORNING CRRONICLII The Motion of Lord Lansdown for the re cognition of South America, was met by Lord Liverpool with a claim on Parliament, founded on the past conduct of Ministers, to repose a full confidence in their justice and moderation. His Lordship d*elt on the advantages the South American States derived from a de facto recogni tion of their independence, by relaxing our Na vigation Laws in their favour, and asked, whether " the appointment of a Minister Pleni potentiary, or a new declaration of recognition, could be as satisfactory to the States as the un qualified, undisguised avowal of Great Britain, that she would never consent to the interference of any third Power."—Lord Liverpool made the following singular declaration respecting the threatened Congress—a subject of much specala tion at this time :—" One word as to another question of the Noble Marquess, as to the know ledge we possess as to the intentions of the other Powers of Europe to take this question into con sideration at an assembled Congress. Ido not know whether these Powers entertain such an in tention, and I believe they do not themselves know whether they will or not." This is a pretty sharp rebuff to the Gentlemen who arro gate to themselves the right to dispose of the world. We were glad to hear his Lordship pro test against all dictating to the South American States their forms of Government. "He should be contented with the forms which the people of those countries like themselves." [MORNING ewer.] In the House of Peers last night the Marquis of Lansdown moved an Address, praying that his Majesty would be graciously pleased without delay to recognise the independence of those countries in South America which were already free, and to establish with them relations of amity and diplomatic intercourse. The Earl of Liverpool showed that the recognition de facto of the independence of the South American States by this country was complete : that all the be nefits of such a recognition were enjoyed by those States as well as by England, and that the only st e p which remained, was one which it belonged more particularly to the Crown to take—the appointment of diplomatic Ministers. Many circumstances might make it expedient that that step should be delayed ; but he would frankly say, that he wished to keep the whole question in his hands. We had shown that we were determined those States should not be trampled upon by any Alliance, whatever might be its name, or however formidable its power, and as we had refused to go to a Congress in order to remain unfettered, lie was also resolved to remain unfettered by any pledge at home. The Noble Earl then explained, that this declara tion made to Prince Polignac that we should not enter into any political connection with the States of South America, only applied to the time at which it was made, and that his Majesty's Go vernment considered themselves as free to con clude any political arrangenaent they might pleas e with those States, as with any other Power in the world. The explanations were too satis factory not to convince the House that the policy adopted by Ministers was not less wise than just arid honourable, and the Marquis of Lansdown having suffered the question to come to a divi sion, was left in a minority of 34 against Us. The business in the House of Commons was not very important. An bnease number of Yeti tions of various descriptions were presented, among which was one from Norwich against Negro Slavery. Many Members manifested an ardent eagerness to address the House upon this subject; but Mr. Secretary Peel prudently interposed, and entreated Gentlemen to forbear indulging in the expression of their feelings at that moment, as the subject would be regularly before the House this day in the form of a motion by Mr. Secretary Canning. It was evident, he observed, that the House was not then prepared for the question, and the temper which bad already been shewn would, he hoped, prove a sufficient excuse for his rising on the occasion. This temperate appeal produced the desired effect. Nothing further was said upon the sub ject, the Members on both sides reserving themselves for the discussion of this even ing. --Mr. Maberley then brought forward his Motion for a Select Committee to be ap pointed, to inquire into the present mode of collecting the tax upon Beer and Malt sepa rately, and whether it would not be expedient to take the tax upon Malt alone, in order thereby to equalize the impost on different consumers.— The arguments urged by the Hon.Gentlemau in favour of his motion were ably answered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who showed, from a consideration of all time circumstances, that no benefit could be derived from the adoption of the plan proposed. The general sense of the House was decidedly against the motion, which on a division was lost by a majority of 130 to 26. — The Mutiny Bill was passed, after another in effectual atttempt of Mr. Hume to introduce his dangerous clause respecting flogging: the num- ' bers upon the subject were 127 to 47. rMORNING HERALD.] We regret to state that his Majesty is slightly indisposed with an attack of gout. It was par tially felt on Saturday, and on Sunday it pre vented his Majesty from coming down stairs.— Ills Majesty dined up stairs.—There will be a Commission in the House of Lords to-day, to give the Royal Assent to sundry Bills, which Com mission was signed by his Majesty on Saturday morning. • [THE TIMES.] The Etoile, a French Ultra newspaper, is, it seems, anxious to go once more a crusading ? And what is the new enemy about to be attacked by the &ode 2 Nothing but the British navy ! that's all. The poor writer has gone raving mad, because the Ministers of the Spanish Con stitution were fools, and its generals, with one or two exceptions, traitors ; whence the Dale very logically concludes, that the men of war of Eng land are rotting in her ports, and that a Bourbon Cabinet need only speak the word to " cover the seas with the French flag," and of course to chase away the flag of Great Britain from the ocean. Not being particularly moved by anger on such occasions, we shall not enter the lists of controversy with an antagonist like this wiseacre of the Etoile. We shall not so far forget what is due to the sense and gallant spirit of a neigh bouring nation, as to put those Frenchmen who are not lunatics on a level with one who is little less ; nor can we prevail on ourselves to wound their pride for the sake of chastising his currish insolence. —lf the Councils of France were capable of being ruled by politi cians gifted with no better memories, or with no more exemplary prudence than the Etoile, we would only beg to assure them, that our ships are not rotting in their several harbours—that if the French, or any other Power, should fancy our men of war to be too few for the task assigned to them, England has an awkward custom of adding to her Navy List a number of ships which have not been built in English dock-yards, and which, therefore, may not possess that unlucky predispo s iti on t o th e dry rot, which the Etoile so charitably deplores. It is true, we would remind a forgetful French Minister, that men of war, once French, did indeed " cover" the ocean during all the latter period of the war, the first naval battle of which was fought by Lord How*, and the last by Lord Nelson ; but if the vessels of France covered the ocean in security, it was after they were covered by a British flag; for under no flag but that of Britain could a French-built ship, from a three-decker to a gun-boat, dare to show herself beyond her own port, with any greater chance of escape than a crow pounced at by an eagle. If, again, it were necessary to lecture a foolish Frenchman like the Etoile, on the manning of the British fleets, we would re mind him, that in the worst seasons of impress ment, and ill discipline, our inefficient and dis satisfied crews contrived some how or other to do the business. But we do not deny, far from it, that great, extensive, and well-con sidered alterations ought to be made, and promptly, in the mode of obtaining seamen—in their treatment while they serve—in their con-, dition afterwards, and in the general encourage ments held out to them ; otherwise the country may, in an evil hour, find that she has neither the hands nor hearts on which alone she can reckon for her safety. Parliament must take up this vital subject—the sooner it is disposed of the better for the State ; if left to Boards of Ad miralty, nothing decisive will ever be attempted —if to those who boast of being, what they call themselves, " practical men," no comprehensive view will ever be taken of the fit relations be tween the seafaring conamunity and the country. [NEW TIMEs.] The Expresses received yesterday from Paris bring intelligence to Saturday evening. Appear ances had taken a favourable turn, and the late gloom which so unaccountably prevailed had been dispelled. The Rentes, according to pri vate advices, closed at 100. 45, 50c. Spanish Bonds had also partaken of the general improve ment, and are quoted at 242. A report pre vailed, for which we understand there is some foundation, that Mr. Rothschild of Paris would shortly visit Madrid, for the purpose of com pleting a financial negociation of itnpor,ance.— From this circumstance arises a hope amongst the holders of the Old Spanish Bonds that those se curities may eventually be received at a price somewhat above the present. This hope alone, slight and uncertain as it is, produced an advance of three per cent. in the prices at Paris, and has had a proportionate effect in our own Market.— Consols opened yesterday at 93i, and gradually advanced to 04 ; the closing price was Spanish Bonds advanced from 18t to 20f, and closed at 191 ; those of 1823, from 151 to 161 ; Chilean Bonds closed at 80f, and Mexican Scrip, premium. Letters have been received, dated the 2d ult. (rein Jamaica. The packet was to sail the 10th ; and by this vessel Mr. Hurtado,, the new Colombian Minister, is again said to be expected. The packet is looked for daily. The new Insurance Company's Shares have not yet appeared. It is reported that they are in great demand upon the Continent, and that the whole arrangements will be completed so as to enable parties desirous of insuring to effect their Poli cies by the ensuing Lady-day. The Shares are said already to bear a good premium. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Jamaica Courant of the 21st January con tains the lengthened details of the trial of nine wretched negroes, at Buff Bay, in that island, on the 19th of last January, for a deliberate con spiracy to revolt and murder the white inhabit ants. Their trial appears to have been a calm and an impartial one. 'Eight of the sable con spirators were convicted, on what seems to us indisputable evidence, and three of the eight were sentenced to be executed, and five to be transported. It appeared from the evi dence that these infatuated and guilty beings were in communication with a brigand from St. Domingo, of the name of Baptiste, and that the mu lattoe Lecesne, who had been a short time before sent off the island through the decision of the Governor, had secretly supplied them with arms. Of the three miserable ♦ictims doomed to death, one only, Henry Oliver, it appears, was to be executed; Kerr and Montignac, through the clemency of the Government, had their , awful sentence exchanged for transportation. The grossest superstition was mingled with the wildest infatuation in the plans and conduct of these wretched negroes. The Obeah man, the curse of the African race in the West Indies, was busy at their meetings : under his directions their skins were rubbed with bush, which he picked to render them incapable of being held by their white masters or pursuers. They also miFed their blood with rum and powder, and drank the horrid mixture. They were to rise the night after Christmas to rush in and murder the overseer and book-keeper on Balcarras plan- FOR THE SUN. SPANISH BONDS. MR. EDITOR—In consequence of an observa tion in the Courier of the 11th inst., allow me to , ask you what you think might be the conse quence of the English Government refusing its protection to the Spanish Bond.holders would it not be telling all nations and states that have borrowed money from English merchants and capitalists, that they were at perfect liberty to get as much money as they could under any pre tence from English subjects, for that Government did not think it worth while to interfere ; and are 100 millions, already abroad in Foreign Loans, of no consequence to England ? and further, would not any Power contemplating war with England insidiously begin by first getting, by way of Loan, as much money as it could from English subjects, and by such means strengthen themselves, and weaken the English Government, who could not have what its enemy had p rev i ous l y go t ? A n d would not foreign Governments, on the settle ment of any Peace, say, you cannot ask us for debts due to your' subjects, as you abjured such right in the instance of the Spanish Bonds ? Would not this conduct in the English Govern ment be political suicide ? Would it not be say ing to them thus :—you know you Cannot beat our sailors and ships, our navy is too strong for you ; you know we ace invulnerable at sea ; give up that mode of attacking us, and adopt the one we have now pointed out to you, namely, borrow all the capital you can from our subjects, offer them good interest, and get hold of the money, then attack our trade by shutting your ports against us, and then England's at your feet. Of what use is the boasted trade and industry of the nation, if foreigners are thus invited by the Go vernment to swindle us of the profits of that in dustry ? I remain, Sir, Your's respectfully, A BOND HOLDER. FOR. THE SUN. HARLEQUIN. Ma. EDITOR—ChiId re n, and even " children of an older growth," are annually amused by the feats of Harlequin, and the roguish tricks of the Clown, and many are the persons that daily gape,, na, : heartiter—bLual l ,.. at the exploits of Punch. The origin of these worthy promoters of merriment is not precisely known, but it is generally admitted that they are of Italian ex traction. Amongst the Itali ans P unc hi ne ll o i s still a great favourite, and all his tricks are in deed well calculated to amuse the lively, yet In- Romans. dolent descendants, of the once grave and austere Although We are acquainted with the country from which 'the above mentioned amusing wor thies originally sprang, nod render to Italy the honour which is due to it, at the same time that we express our gratitude for the amusement its diverting and grotesque offspring have afforded us, we are compelled, i n justice, to admit that if Italy gave them Will) France was the first coun try in which they began to make a figure, and that, too, under the immediate patronage of no less a personage than t toe encourager of letters, the fickle, yet amiable and chivalrous Francis I. It was during his wars with his crafty and more fortunate rival, Charles V. that be extended his Protection to the ent ertaining foreigners, and the course of this event Is said to be as follows : The unbounded ambition of Charles V. is too generally known to be much dwelt upon. This royal busy-bod,y kept Europe in a state of con tinued agitation and warfare ; and such was his fondness for intertneddling in the affairs of his neighbours, that not one of them could make either peace or war, form treaties of commerce, or make either war or Peace, without either taking his advice, or incurring his displeasure. Jealousy, and a spirit of rivality kindled by the attempt which Francis had made to obtain the Imperial Crown, rendered him, however, more especially obnoxious .0 the Emperor. Against him he em ployed the force of his arms, and all the arts of his subtle policy. In this mode of warfare, Francis was no match for his crafty opponent. Though brave himself, and commanding valiant and faithful troops, the fortune of his rival ever prevailed, and the fatal battle of Pavia left him a prisoner in the hands of Charles. Wearied with a hard and tedious captivity, the proud spi rit of the French Monarch was compelled to bend, and he recovered his liberty upon condi tions which proved at the same time how much he sighed for freedom, and how little generosity existed in the bosom of his Imperial gaoler. The haughty spirit of Francis was stung to the quick by his continued evil fortune, and by the indignant treatment he had experienced from the Emperor. Foiled continually in every subse quent attempt to revenge himself by force of arms upon his ever fortunate and more powerful rival, he had recourse to the formidable weapon of ridicule, and brought him forward upon the stage in the burlesque character of Harlequin, so named from Charles Quint, Charles the Fifth. And this singular attempt was crowned with such complete success, that the man who had so long been the terror, soon became the jest of all Europe. It is asserted that the proud spirit of Charles was effectually subdued. Unable to bear the change thus produced in the opinions of men, he fell into a deep melancholy, from which he never recovered, and which at length render ing even the pageant of royalty irksome, finally induced him to abandon the throne, and to retire , into a cloister ! Midhurst. A. P. tation, and then commence a general massacre up as far as Cedar valley. Their dreadful signal for indiscriminate murder was to be four candles on a board, or torch, and shown from the tops of the barbique walls, as a general signal to the surrounding negroes to commence the wo r k of massacre. They mustered frequently, and, until cutlasses were ground for them, they drilled with wooden swords. They met in military array every Saturday, and had fifes, drums, and martial music. They were leagued by oaths, swallowed with the horrible potion mixed up with their blood. They drank round out of the common basin the bloody beverage, and swore " to stand to the battle." On the night when the appal ling work of murder and conflagration was to com mence, the watchman of the plantation was to give them notice when their victims had retired to rest, and the overseer and book-keeper were to have been the first murdered. They had mock muskets of plaintain stocks, until they could he provided by Lecesne and M'Farlane with guns and cutlasses ; and they went through the re gular exercise as the preparation for general mas sacre. But the observation of the negro witness, Charles Mack, disclosed the dreadful conspiracy before it broke out, and averted the shock- 1 ing results. The villain Lecesne appears to have been in the conspiracy, and to have supplied them largely with arms. Fourteen guns were brought them at one time from King ston, through this mulatto's agency ; and it was then arranged that the night after Christmas they were to kill Mr. Lerman, overseer of the plantations, then murder and burn all up and down the river. Lecesne's advice to these un happy men was like that of the hoary Renault, " to spill blood enough, and spare neither age nor sex." The brigand Baptiste, from St. Do mingo, was also busy instigating them to revolt and murder. lie had come as a fell emissary lately among them, and said Jamaica was a bad country, because the negroes could not do as they liked. This ruffian unfortunately escaped, and returned to St. Domingo. Misrepre sentation, it is clear, was busy with its agents among the negroes generally ; they imbibed the belief, that great concessions had been made them in this country, and that three days in the week were given them as free from labour. It is clear _that the proceedings in Parliament, last session, from the studious misrepresentations that followed on them, produced most alarming con sequences in the West Indies, and in any mea sures now adopted for the gradual amelio ration of the African race, too much caution cannot be observed : it is due equally to the European proprietors and residents in those fine Colonies, and to the negroes them selves, to whom sudden emancipation would be the greatest curse that could be inflicted on them. Mr. Canning makes his promised imp or t an t ques slaves piracy. We are sure that any Bill to m a k e t h e f ore i gn t s i t o a n te , m an e d nt w t i o ll -n b ig ri i i i i t g o il ': a this most measures a ffi s c ure i s n proposed by the leading Minister in the Lower House will be marked by the same wis dom and moderation that have lately distin guished his foreign policy on the subject of South America. Millions of property are committed in the result, and the question involves the very existence of our West India Colonies, with the safety of thousands who are now resident there. No subject, in fact, of deeper interest has occu pied the attention of the Legislature for many years. It will be discussed, we trust, with calm ness and impartiality, and the final decision be one beneficial to the Colonies, and equally just to the white inhabitants and the negro population throughout these islands. WEST INDIES. JAMAICA, JA24.19. TRIAL OF THE CONSPIRATORS AT BUFF -BAY. On the above date, the following persons were tried for con spiracy—ll enry Oliver, Richard Montagnac, James Thump. son, Denis Ker, John 111`Farlane, John Spalding, James Maynard, John Brceme, and Samuel Haughton. It appeared that they had in November last attended meetings for the purpose of entering into Resolutions, whereby they might compass the death of the people on the Island, and destroy their dwellings, &c. This conspiracy was attended with diabolical malevolence ; for in order to perpetrate their intend ed crime, they had on the 6th of D ecem b er met toget h er, an d caused one of the party to bleed his finger, and after having commingled the blood with rum and gunpowder or dirt, they drank it, at the same time taking an oath of secresy and fidelity to each other. A number of witnesses bore testimony to the allegations made against them, and all except Haughton, who was only found guilty of having arms in his possession, were condemned as follows: James Thompson, John Macfarlane, James Meynard, John► Spalding, and James Brceme, to be transported for life, and if they return to be hanged ; and Henry Oliver, Richard Mon tagnac, and Denis Tier. to be hanged at such time and place as the Governor may appoint. KINGSTON, JAN. 30.—Extract of a letter from Buff Bay, dated the 27th instant:—The death-warrant of Henry Oliver has been received here, and he is to be executed on Friday the 30th inst. Denis Ker and Richard Montagnac are to be trans. ported. A negro named Prince, belonging to Paul Lamotte, Esq. has been committed to gaol for examination, touching tLe late conspiracy. DEMERARA. ( From the Demerara Gazette. ) GE 0 RGE-T OW N, JAx. 16.—His Excellency the Commander. in -Chief, in reprieving the rebel chief, Jack Gladstone, until his Majesty's pleasure shall be known, has, we have good rea. son to believe, exercised the discretionary power thus invested in loin with every disposition towards the interests and the wel fare of this colony. A cautious and calculating policy is cer tainly advisable in cases of this kind, and it requires that the contingencies of such an act of m e r c y s h ou ld b e we i g h e d w i t h the cooest deliberation before it be put into force. His Excel lency has, no doubt, very justly considered, that if no distinc tion were to be made between the blood-thirsty and humane, the negroes, in the event of another revolutionary effort, would have little cause for displaying towards us what had not been shewn towards themselves ; and it only remains to be proved, in how far the individual thus selected as an example of the King's clemency is deserving of it. Since our last, seven more of the rebel negroes have been flogged, according to their respective sentences—viz., Louis, of Porter's Hope, 1,000 lashes ; Field, of Clonbrook, do.; Mer cury, of Enmore, 700 ; Austin, of Cove, 600 ; Jessamin, of Success, 1,000; John F. C. Otto, 200; and August, of Suc cess, 300. They were all punished at the New Barracks; and we have no doubt that Jack Gladstone had a full view of the sufferings lie has assisted to bring upon his fellow-slaves— balancing the account against him with the comforting con sciousnes of his own reprieve. Extract from a private letter, dated St. Vincent :—" The Missionary Shrewsbury is still here. He was appointed by our preachers to go to Regina to hold forth, but the inhabitants of that island refused him a house." The first pile for the new London Bridge was sunk yesterday morning, amidst the cheers of a great number of persons, who had collected on both sides of the water, and on the west side of 1 4 ondon Bridge, to witness the commencement of this great undertaking. BIRTHS. On the 13th inst., at Argyll-house, the Countess of Aber (leen, of a son. On the 15th inst., Mrs. Walpole Eyre, 22, Bryanston-square, of a daughter. On Sunday, the 14th inst., at Thickbroom-cottage, Stafford shire, the Lady of John Shawe Manley, Esq., of a son. THE ARMY. The last division of the 53th Regiment of Foot, embarked at Portsmouth, on board the Zephyr transport, and sailed on the 12th inst. for Cork. The last company of the 75th Regiment of Infantry, which recently arrived, on board the Prince of Orange transport, at Portsmouth, from Gibraltar, will march to-day from Gosport for Windsor, where it will arrive on the 20th inst.
