THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extrilds pow the Morning Papers, Jan. O. LTIIE TIMES.] Letters dated tho 9.9 th ult., and received yes terday from Cadiz, mention that the expedition against South America, which has been for some time preparing in that port, was on the point of .zit n it was decided that the Asia, the only hip of .war in the harbour of the first class, was nut to form a part of the expedition, which would therefore consist only of the frigates and smaller vessels. From the quantity of provisions, &c., on board, it was presumed the destination was Peru. It does not appear that any land force - was to accompany the expedition, the fate of which, therefore, will probably resemble that of several which have preceded it, in giving addi tional strength to those whom it was intended to subdue. Letters from Buenos Ayres of the Bth Novem- • - her, received by way of Rio de Janeiro, state that Sir Thomas Hardy, during his late visit to the Cornier port, has completely removed the ill will which had arisen in consequence of the dis pute: with Captain Willes, of his Majesty's ship t✓razen. ►When Sir Thomas Hardy arrived in the River Plate, the Government of Buenos Ayres, through a person deputed for that pur pose, solicited some e xpression of opinion on his part with regard to the correspondence high had taken place on that occasion ; but it s replied, that.as the affair had by both parties been referred to the British Government, he saw no necessity for his interference. On ques tioning the messenger what sort of reception he himself might expect if he paid a visit to Buenos Ayres, Sir Thomas Hardy was informed that the Members of the Government were most anxious for that honour, and that he might de pend on every act of courtesy and attention which it was in their power to offer him. Sir Thomas Hardy shortly afterwards paid his visit to the city, where the expectations thus held out to him were fully realized.—(/bid;) [NEW TIMES.] The operations in the Funds yesterday were rather limited in point of extent : the highest price of Consols was 894, the lowest price 88ii, and they closed at 88-; 89. Spanish Bonds fell about 1 per cent. during the day, in consequence of their having undergone considerable fluctua tion at Paris on Saturday. Considering the unprecedented rise which took place during the last account, it is not surprising that the party called the Bears make every pos sible ' exertion to counteract the elasticity which pro mises to raise the British Funds still higher. There are, however, several causes in opera tion which can scarcely fail to raise the prices even higher than they are at present. Dur ing the war a very large proportion of the Dividends always went to the new Loans an ouaily r equired by our own Government. Since ! the Peace pi obably not less than sixty or seventy millions of English capital have been invested in Loans to Foreign Countries. Some of these speculations have turned out so ruinously that people in general begin to he rather more cau tious ; as they must invest their money some where, they look to our own Funds. This ne cessarily occasions a large demand. It is said that the amount taken by the Public and the London and Country Bankers on the present oc casion Las not been less than two millions ; while number of Powers of Attorney for the sale of Stock lodged at the Bank has been unusually small. On the other hand, the war alarms of The Courier heiog universally disregarded, no person has been deterred from purchasing by any fear that the Peace of Europe will be disturbed. The stories of hoards of gold and silver in Russia are received with the same smile of contempt as those of French regiments destined for South America ; and hostile squadrons fitting out at Brest. [MORNING row.] French Papers to the 18th instant reached us last night by Express. They are barren of poli tical intelligence, but contain in its stead various comMents on the conduct of the Ministers, in dissolving a Chamber devoted to their interests, and exposing the superior influence which they had acquired to the chances which must al ways attend a general election. Most of the Ultras continue to represent it as a riddle which they cannot understand and the solution of. which fills them with ill-disguised anxiety. The. Constitutionnel alone boldly assumes the part of CEdipus, and undertakes to expound the enigma, without concealing or eluding its tn*t.difficult points,' as the following exposition of the question will show Without any ap parent motives the Chamber of Deputies wes dis solved ; and yet that Chamber had uniformly lent itself to all the views of the Ministers, if it had not even sometimes suggested them. Never did they find it severe, jealous, or unmanageable. The majority, constantly strengthened by yearly ronewals, demanded the Election Law, subjected the Press to a rigorous legislation, granted almost without discussion enormous Budgets, protected the Administration against all accusatory peti tions and appeals from electors; permitted levies of troops and the raising of a large loan, and even compromised its independence by banishing one of its owns members from its bosom, and thus condemning the whole Opposition to silence. How was it, therefore, that the ministers disbanded so accommodating a majority ? What more could they wish to obtain ? It never resisted, and even anticipated their views : could they possibly rind it insufficient? —'They did. It was sufficient to:establish the domination of the party of which it was composed, but not to confirm and ren der it available. Exposed to the vicissitudes of annual elections, that majority was con stantly liable to. be modified ; divisions might arise in its bosom ; external considerations might influence its spirit : uncertain with respect to the future, it might cease to hold a re gular course, or be unable to conceive and pur sue she execution of vast and systematic designs. The object was no longer to conquer, but to pro fit by the triumphs obtained. The Ministers, therefore, felt the want of a new Chamber, which should begin by consolidating itself for seven years, and should thus unite with the ener gy of an elective power, the perseverance of a permanent Body. It is an army of occu.palion, which is now to take the place of one of inva sion. Instead of a changeable and frequently renewed majority, it is one compact and invaria ble, which, assured of its own duration, will im part foresight to its conceptions and consistency , to its acts, and will systematically consecrate it self to the triumph of that astucious policy which employs the forms of the Charter to re establish absolute power in the Government, and ancient privileges in society." It cannot be denied that there is much sense and ap parent truth in these remarks ; and, indeed, it is not astonishing that the French Mi nisters should wish to establish and perpetu ate their power. They can only be blamed if the means which they employ to attain an ob ject common to all administrations should be illegal, unjust, and disgraceful. As far as we are yet able to judge from all that has appeared, they are not of the fairest kind. They are there fore calculated to excite a salutary distrust among the electors, who must recollect that to sacrifice the interests of their country on such an occasion as the present, would be to incur a seven-fold degree of guilt. [BRITISH PnEss.] Saturday's French Papers are very barren of intelligence. The Journal des De'bats has an article contradicting the intention to attack Brazil, and treating the Courier's tale of the Brest preparations as mere romance. In this statement the French Paper is, we believe, sin cere : the Brest fleet was a mere " vision of the brain," and Brazil will not be attacked by any French force. France cannot and will not war with this country and America ; it would be the ruin of her commerce, and paralyze all her re sources : it is as much her interest as that of Great Britain to remain at peace, and she could not make hostile demonstrations against South America without a rupture with this country. Count Pahnella's mission to England was a fiction of the same description, one of the 100-tongued rumours of the day. WhatDonPedro's decided objects have been in the dissolution of the Brazilian Congress, and the arbitrary deportation of its Members, is yet to be known. But enfeebled Portugal can do nothing against these distant shores ; since the departure of Madeira, her cause in America is utterly hopeless. The marine of Portugal is some thing better than that of Spain, but not strong enough to meet the energy and effects of Lord Cochrane, who fights for Brazil. The sceptre of both Spain and Portugal in the New World is broken for ever ; their departed supremacy can never be recalled. The Ottoman, it ap pears, has determined to make another desperate effort for dominion in Greece. After three weeks deliberations in the Divan, it has been resolved that the Grand Vizier should lead the forces of that empire against the Morea, and try to crush Greek liberty by a last ons e t of its bar- I barous hordes. Tice Capitan Pa e l la, whose late campaign has been so disastrous, will fill, it is said, the Turkish Vizier's place while absent. — If the Greeks are united, and act with their past courage and resolution, this attem p t w ill have the same result as those they have already defeated. The Vizier can do nothing ; his sanguinary rabble will be dangerous only to the unarmed around them. Greece already is beyond the power of her barbarous oppressor ; she has struck with too determined an arm for her freedom, and made her league too strong, to be now crushed by any new efforts of her implacable enemy• [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We cannot say that we are astonished at the conviction in the case of John Hunt, because, with our present Libel Law, and our packing system, prosecution and conviction are neariy the same thing. An acquittal does no doubt take place now and then, just as it were to skew that an acquittal is still possible, and a defendant may cling to the hope that fortune may favour him, just as the most of those who buy Lottery Tickets flatter themselves with hopes of a prise. There is not a paper published in London that does not contain every day matter which might be prosecuted to conviction under the presen Libel Law and Jury System. No Paper cai avoid publishing every day matter, which, i made the subject of a prosecution, might be fol lowed by conviction. The security of a Jour nalist, with the Libel Law hanging over him, is like that of a man in a crowd, into which loaded musquets may be discharged. He flatters him self that as a certain number can only be hit each time, he may have the fortune to escape. No man can tell what a libel is, no definition has ever been given of one, except that it is something which somebody does not like, and to the will adds the power of punishing it. In the case of public Libels, we have at this time as a rule for our guidance, Ist, what the Adminis tration may like or dislike ; 2dly, what the Committee of the Bridge-street Gang may like or dislike ; and, 3d, the state of the funds of the latter. In the case of the Administration, we have some security in the desire we may suppse them to entertain of standing well with the public, and the consideration that they may lose more in reputation by prosecution than is equiva lent to any pleasure they can derive from it. But in the case of the Bridge-street Gang, what moral consideration is sufficient to restrain them from availing themselves of the law to de stroy or injure whatever they dislike ? Who are the Committee ?—Who knows any thing of them ? What reputation have any of them to lose ? Who does not remember the disgraceful proceedings at Lancaster? And who, that re collects these proceedings, who, that recollects the disingenuous artifices that were resorted to in the case of Ridgway, would dream of placing the least reliance on any wish entertained by this gang, to stand well with the respectable part of the public ? So long as these zealots can obtain money, and. Mr. Murray has the propect of getting payment for his bills, so long will all that incurs their dislike be selected for prosecu- [MORNING lIERALD.] The accounts of the state of Spain are truly curious and deplorable. One would scarcely suppose it possible, that reasoning beings, ar rived at the age of discretion, are at the head of affairs. It is not folly, it is not infatuation, that seems to rule there, but utter blindness and im becility. A considerable time has now passed since the fall of Cadiz and the Constitution. — It is impossible to imagine a state of public confusion and disorganization more urgently demanding some remedy than existed at that period. Yet from that moment to the date of the last arrivals of the 7th instant, not a single step has been taken to restore order or tranquil lity. The only palpable and specific act of the restored Ferdinand and his foreign guardians has been the disembodying of the corps of Ballasteros and other Constitutional troops, and this has only increased the elements of confusion. The consequence is, that the provinces and the capital itself are violently disturbed. The former are, in some instances, in that " state of nature," or rather of brigandage, in which " They may take who hare the power, " And those may keep who can." Both life and property are wholly unprotected. The province of Gallicia is in a state of general commotion. The active disturbers and aggres sors are the partisans of the Faith, who tra verse the province in armed bands, for the pur pose of plunder and revenge. The consequences may be easily conceived—in every quarter, rob bery and bloodshed. The capital is equally con vulsed, but without the same scenes of pil lage and bloodshed. Lives, however, have been loit, in affrays between the Spanish re giments and the troops of the French garrison. The consequence of the frequent quarrels betwen them is, that the French General, Bourmont, has ordered all the Spanish troops out of Ma drid. The cause of all this, is stated to be the indecision and imbecility of the Govern ment. The action of the Ministry is but a ver tigo of political intrigue. The Spanish Mi nisters are labouring to preserve their power —the Foreign Ministers to carry the points of their respective Courts—and Ferdinand, acted upon by both, has no confidence in either. In this situation of affairs the Government of the kingdom stands still—and fanaticism, servilism, and persecution, rage without controul. The main evil is the imbecility of the ruling powers.—_ It is understood to be the anxious wish of the foreign Ambassadors, and of the Spanish Minis ters, to put doe n the Monkish party. But whether from their inherent weakness, or from the leaning of Ferdinand to the partizans of his late Confessor Saez, they have not been able to effect it. They have not dared to disem body any considerable corps of the Faith, not. withstanding the Itoyal Decree to that effect.— Only some small bands have been disembo died, and of these some have become absolut e banditti. Such is the powerless state of the Government, that in defiance of its command the Bishops and heads of Monkish orders maintain their ground in the capital, under a mockery of sickness. This state of affairs is too horrible too unnatural, to e ndure lone. A change of Mi nisters and the triumph of .' the fanatical party was hourly expected. Such seems the present condition of the Spaniards, that any change must be for the better. CAPE - OP GOOD 1101)E. The following is an extract of a letter from dated O c t. '24. It w ill be Cap e C oas t Castle, read with interest :- 44 Certain Americans have purchased a small tract of land on the coast of Africa, somewhere near Cap e Miscuado, and have colonized it with a black and yellow po pulation from the United states, where the slave population has increased to a degree which has not a little alarmed the government. These unfortunate wretches, amounting to about four hundred in number, the moment they landed, found themselves, in the first pl ace , exposed to the dishonesty and extortion of the agents of the o necessary suppli es for their fu ri r g n i i i s ta he l dpuwricthhatsielers of the colony. The latter were co lonists, hut their a gents had bartered these supplies away with the 'lathes for their own profit, and the colonists were starving. in addition to this scene of misery ,the natives conceiving the Americans tohave cheated them in the purchase of lands, had made war upon them, and were hunting them down in all directions. When the last accounts came away those miserable people, deserted by time parent country, which had thus thrown them upon a bar barous coast to perish, were erecting some works round the wretched collection of huts which they called a town and had named it Monrowa, after the name of the President of the United States. They entertained no hope however of being able to op pose any effectual resistance to the black swarms which surround them, and had literally skint them up in their dwellings. This primary colony the Americans had named Liberica, The Ashantee war is at a stand, and may of the tribes which had been induced to throw off their allegiance to our flag, had returned to it again, and had withdrawn from the war. The white force at Cape Coast Castle is more than sufficient to set the whole Ashantee populatio❑ at de fiance." DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT POLGOOTH MINE. — On Thursday evening (15th inst.) a most melancholy accident happened at the above mine, occasioned by the bursting of the boiler of the engine. The explosion was so terrific, that one man, named Phillip Rowe, was thrown over the engine house to the distance of one hundred and fifty feet, and killed, and another named Martin, dreadfully hurt, since dead. Pieces of the boiler of 600 weight were carried to the distance of six hundred feet, and tore down whole houses. Not a yes- , tige of the house which contained the boiler remains : and two adjoining houses were literally dashed in pieces by the ex plosion. In the midst of this distressing relation, one provi dential circumstance merits attention. Captain Reed having occasion for men to assist at the capstan, in order to secure them, went into the boiler-house and took away the clothes belonging to those who were expected to come from under ground. To this circumstance they owe their preservation ; for on coming up, several ran home in their underground clothes; had they staid to change, they must inevitably have shared the same fate of their most unfortunate companions. Nothing could exceed the consternation of the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of the accident; some fancied the end of all things was come, others that an earthquake had happened, and the explosion was heard at the distance of full two miles.— (Royal Cornwall Gazette.) GREECE. We should have noticed, at an earlier period some recent proceedings of the University of Cambridge in favour of the cause of the Greeks. They have nominated a branch Com mittee to superintend the application of a subscription in favour of the Greeks. The Duke of Gloucester has transmitted his subscription of a hundred guineas to this committee ; and, from the names which compose it, no doubt can be en- tertained that an impulse will be given to a mea. sure which may afford considerable assistance in furnishing arms and other auxiliaries to this long oppressed and nobly struggling people. We should, indeed, be sorry to see that sympathy which has been excited in their behalf decay to vigour ; a sympathy which is consecrated by the right of their cause, and fed by the recollections of their history. This is not the cause of blind and plundering jacobinism, which declaims against war when republicanism or an imperial usurper is the aggressor, and beats its empty drum to arms when a legitimate and monarchical government makes the first approach to aggression and waits for no reason or just g'oundof hostilities; but it is the cause of humanity and righteous ness, bound upon us by the laws of our kind, and which, if unsanctioned by laws of nations, would yet stand on the immoveable foundations of truth and justice. In the address of the University, we find the same distinction taken between the insurgent Greeks, and insurgents against a regu lar and common government, which we stated and argued at an early period of the contest ; and we are glad to find ourselves supported by such authority. A conquering power, which af fords equal protection, and rules both the con quered and the conquering part of its subjects with equal laws, will come ultimately into the possession of all the rights of a native government. But this is not the case with Turkey and Greece. distinction is kept up as broadly between them now as when the fall of Constantinople transfer red the throne of the Cwsars to barbarian Sul tans. The Greeks have enjoyed no certain pro tection. A Turk, as such, has, on all occasions, been allowed to insult their persons, to invade their property, and to deny to them the common rights of humanity. The y have ha d no rights in their very hl any children, and can, therefore, have had That they are under no obli gations toclear transferred n s s u f e b r o r i e i submission on right i o g their to oppressors, none thin submit g. is force, has way none fro m th e G re eks, them ol and as the Turk s have no ri g h ts in Greec e, so , td taken y a other nations cann ot be debarred, on any prin ciple of internat ional law, fr om giving assistan ce b to the oppressed : they must do it, it is true, at the risk of o ffending Turkey ; but, for any law or right, they are at liberty to do it, and ought to do it. Whether that assistance ought to be given by this country, we speak not now of individuals, but of the country by its Go vernment, so as to push them forward into a state of absolute independence, is another question.-- (f no m iddle plan, which would adequately re lieve them from oppression, and place them out of the reach of the grasp of Russia, is practicable, we should answer that question in the affirma tive. The Turkish empire must ultimately fall under the growing power of Russia. This none can reasonably question ; but it will be the fault of this country if we, by supiness, give Greece to Russia, and furnish her with all the ele ments of becoming a great and commanding naval power. The independence of Greece would pre vent this, and it is, therefore, in policy to be encouraged by Great Britain. It is, however, stated, that Great Britain and France are uniting their indifference at Constantinople to bring the Porte to consent to allow Greece to be governed by its own Magistrates and Officers, to withdraw the Turkish troops, and to accept an annual tribute and acknowledgment of dependance. To this Russia, it is said, is not unwilling, provided her claims on Moldavia and Wallachia are yield ed. This is opposed by Austria, and so the m atter is stated, at present, to rest. Such a measure, as connected with the present policy of keeping up Turkey against Russia, no doubt may be made plausible. But who believes that Turkey can long be kept up against Russia ? and if not, the tie which connects Greece with Turkey. ' though slender, may be strong enough to bind Greece to Russia, upon the subversion of Turkey, and to give her the command of her re sources, by virtue of only a nominal sovereignty. Our policy at the Court of Constantinople has not appeared to us to be sufficiently longsighted. It. is adapted rather to circumstances than per manent relations. We ought to look forward to what Russia may be, to what she must be, in a few years, and provide against it. This is to be the guiding star in our policy in that quarter, or we shall be, ultimately, laughed at by the statesmen whose plans and purposes all extend beyond the present, and especially the statesmen of St. Petersburghi. We are bound by no treaty to defend and uphold Turkey. She must fall if we were. To her fate we must leave her ; and when, by aiding Greece, by espousing the cause of her independence, we do at once a work of humanity and justice, and provide against the shock which the balance of power must ultimate ly receive, the policy of working towards an ob ject which shall meet that issue happens to be at once most just and most imperative.—(Liverpoo l Courier.) MEETING OF SILK.WEAYEas.—On Saturday night the Journeymen Silk-Weavers again met, pursuant to adjournment, at the Red Lion, Phoenix-street, Spitaltields, for the purpose of receiving the Report from their Committee, as to what progress they had made in effecting a re conciliation with their employers, when Mr. BAKER, their Secretary, read a letter from Mr. THORPE, on behalf of the Masters, proposing another Meeting, at the King's Head in the Poultry, on Monday evening, in order to discuss article by article, and to decide differences, which proposition was unanimously agreed to.
