THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Rxtrasts from the Morning Papers, June 11. paw TIMES.] Last night we received the Etoile, dated Wed sesday. It cnntains nothing worthy of notice, except the following passage in a letter from Madrid, which at the present moment may at tract some attention, although it rests on no ostensible authority : R MADRID, JUNE 3.—Since the reign of the Revolutionists .Don Antonio Bereira and Don Louis de la Robla had been no minated Commissioners to treat with the Insurrectional Govern mentof Buenos Ayres. But as soon as these two faithful Spa uiards learned the deliverance of the King they retired to Monte Video, there to await the new orders of his Majesty. Thence they sent into Spain authentic documents, which prove, that even under the eyes of the Authorities established by the fac tions in South America, the legitimate Sovereign may still reckon a great number f devoted subjects. They have record ed their generous sentiments in Addresses, which bear the most respectable signatures, and which will be made public when it van be done without danger to these true Royalists. It is easy to foresee what immense reinforcements a Spanish expedition will receive when it shall have planted the Royal banner on the shore.,, An Evening Paper has thought fit to contradict "'in the most unqualified manner" our statement of the recent news from Mexico; and we there fore, in the same CC unqualified manner" repeat, that the latest accounts from that country repre sent it to be in a state of extreme anarchy. We are not apt to mislead our readers by exaggerated statements ; in the present instance we have taken care not to go a hair's breadth heyond the most accurate and authentic information. We per fectly coincide in sentiment with an enlightened writer in the last Quarterly Review—" We should, consider the establishment of an independent ;and good Government in that extensive and in teresting country, to be not only a benefit to its inhabitants, but to the whole of the civilized world ;" and if our wishes could regulate the course of events, that independence and that prosperity Mexico would possess ; but our duty to the public is not to delineate imaginary pic tures, but to tell plain truths ; and we say again, that situated as things are in Mexico, it is totally impossible for his Majesty's Ministers, consist ently with common prudence, to enter into any new political relation with that country.—(lbid.) [THE TIMES.] - We recommend attention to the petition from the " Merchants of London," in favour of recognizing the independence of the uew States of America. (Sec another column of THE SUM.) This i, a powerful enforcement of the Liverpool memorial, and will, no doubt, be followed up from every commercial body in the empire. The London petition is somewhat more specific than its prototype in describing the extent of the re cognition which it prays for, pressing upon Mi nisters more distinctly and exclusively the States of Buenos Ayres, Chili, and Colombia, as being free, not only from any risk of subjugation, but from every pretext for imagining a re-action upon them possible ; since they are each, and have been for a considerable time, in the regular and understood exercise of all the powers of complete sovereignty—not a Spanish soldier tr functionary fihewing himself in any one of these provinces.— We hardly think that his Majesty's Ministers can hold out much longer. EBRITISII PRESS.] Frankfort Papers reached our office last night. They are principally occupied with the details of the sudden arrest of Von Manger, the Chief Director of the Police of Ilesse Cassel, who, to enhance his influence, had been raising plots and rumours of conspiracies, but was unexpectedly enmeshed in his own toils, and conveyed a state prisoner, by orders of the Elector, to the fortress of Spangenburg, where he may ruminate at lei sure on Ms meritorious plans. The object of Von Manger appears to have been, the contriving ixtrigues so as to persuade his abused master that he was surrounded on all sides with conspiracies and conspirators ; but this fabricator of plots has fallen into the toils he prepared for others, and ,his arrest has given u n i versa l sa ti s f ac ti on . Th e Frankfort Papers repeat the statement given some time since, of another Congress, and add the re. port of conferences in that city between Prince Metternich, the Russian Minister, De Tatischeff, and Chateaubriand : but the latter is no longer in authority—his short-lived power has passed away. If these conferences take place, and 'ranee send any representative, it will not be the versatile Viscomte Chateaubriand. But for what purpose can any new Congress now meet, where all is perfectly tranquil arouna them ? [MORNING CHRONICLE.] A letter, dated on the 15th April, has been mceived from a Gentleman of great respectabi thy at Maranham. As soon as it was believed in that city that the Absolute Sovereign of Por tugal really intended to attempt the subjection of the Brazils, most violent commotions occurred, and on the Ist and 2d of April the disturbance became so "limning, that at a meeting of the Constituted Authorities, at the Town Hall, an order was issued for all European Portuguese, whether landholders or merchants, instantly to quit the territories of the Brazilian Empire. I n compliance with this indiEcrimittate ordinance, the Europeans commenced a destructive sale of land, merchandise, and goods, even includi ng t h e slave population, the effects which threatened ruin to every description of property, and as the original order appeared to be both harsh and useless, another general meeting was held on the tith April, when it was resolved that all the Eu ropean Portuguese, who possessed actual pro perty, and who could give security for their good behaviour, should be excepted from the decree of 2.d of April, and that only the unmarried and idle Europeans should be sent away. On the promulgation of this order, Maranham was illu minated during three successive nights. The ut most tran ciu m it ) , continued to prevail up to the date of this letter. The conduct of th e EmPe ror was watched with great anxiety at Maran ham, and the same spiri t of independence prevail ed throughout the Wh o l e of the Northern. Pro, Tinces of Brazil. F rom Rio de Janeiro, the let ters are dated to the 16th of April, at which time that capital remained tranquil. The Spanish line of battle ship, the Asia, and the corvette, the Achilles, touched at St. Catherine's on the Bth of March, on their passage round Cape Horn, and on the 12th of the same month, one letter states that four French men-of-war sailed from Rio, also for the Pacific. It is known that the Asia is in the worst condition. It was re ported at Rio, that Lord Cochrane had deter mined to resume the command of the Chilian Navy, and that he would proceed with a body of British seamen to Buenos Ayres, and from thence over land to Valparaiso. The reduction of the Island Chiloe was the declared object of his Lordship; but no doubt the capture of the Asia was also an object worthy of the ambition of the Chilian navy. [MORNING HERALD.]. The Yearly Epistle of the Quakers has been published. We always like to read these Epistles. In general there is in them a good deal of common sense. There is one part in the Epistle of this year which deserves especial no tice. It is warning the Society of Friends against speculations. We like this allusion to speculations ; but if all England were to avoid then), what would become of the independence of the Greeks and of the South Americans? In this Epistle we do not see any allusion to what are called blasphemous productions. It contents itself with recommending parents to give' their children books of a proper character. But if none but books of a religious or moral character were to be allowed, where would be the pleasure we experience in seeing or reading the plays of Shakspeare ; in perusing the works of Mil ton, Byron, or others ; and where would have been Sir Walter Scott's fortune of half a million, got by pleasing the fancies of such ladies as are probably too well off in the world, and who but for Walter Scott, and other makers of novels, might die of ennui Q We much question, how ever, whether many a fair Quakeress has not read Walter Scotts novels, when the father of the family has been out of the way. It says but little relative to the Slave Trade ; perhaps those who drew it up may think that until the white po pulation of the West Indies approaches in numbers nearly equal to the black population, it may be prudent to proceed gradually in the abo lishing of slavery ; besides, many of the Society of Friends are wholesale and retail dealers in sugar, rum, tobacco, and other West India pro ductions, and might not like their business to be suddenly stopped, in case the blacks should get the better of the whites, were the former too quickly liberated. [MORNING POST.] We received last night, by Express, French Papers to the 9th inst. They are filled with the lamentations of the Ultras at the dismissal of M. de Chateaubriand from'the Administration. "The Oroonnance which removes him," says the Quoti diennc, " seems to announce to France and t 0.., Europe a policy so new, so unexpected, and, we must say, so mischievous, that it is impossible for us this day to develop all the ideas which press upon our minds, all the considerations which are calculated to afflict the friends of Monarchy." Amongst these ideas and considerations, however, the same Paper soon after informs us are the fol lowing—that the Royalist (Ultra) opinion will no longer have a Representative in the Ministry, and consequently " will no longer be able to ap plaud the labours of Statesmen who have sepa rated themselves from the man whom it loved to designate as its noblest interpreter."—That it is to be feared that the political existence of all the other Ministers 44 will be placed at the discre tion of the man (M. de Villele) who may domineer over the King's Council." That " all wills, all talents, and all consciences may be called upon to surrender their independence to one of the Depositaries of the Royal au. thority, and that enlightened - France ought never to admit that he who was conquered should command as a master, whilst he who was in vested with the confidence of the public should be dismissed." And lastly, that the " disgrace" of M. de Chateaubriand (for it is called by its name), is particularly unfortunate at a time, " when the relations of France with Spain be come more complicated ; when the situation of Portugal demands peculiar attention ; when Greece in flames may compromise the commercial interests of France in the East, and above all, when the projects of the Holy Alliance require a series of plans systematically conceived and ex ecuted with perseverance." M. de Chateaubriand, it is evident from this, was a man on whose assist ance the Holy Alliance relied for the execution of those mischievous plans by which it is attempted to prevent the birth of national independence in the new world, and to extinguish the liberties of nations in the old. The more painful his removal must be to the Ultras, the more gratifying must it prove to the friends of sound Constitutional principles and liberal policy. Already have the beneficial effects of his dismissal from the Coun cil of his Sovereign begun to reveal them-' selves. In the Sitting of the 7th instant, M. de Villele communicated two Royal Ordon nances to the Chamber of Deputies, withdrawing or cancelling two Projects of law, one of which (for the repression of offences in churches) had been inspired by the Jesuits, and had al ready received the sanction of the Chamber of Peers. That a great alteration will take place in the foreign policy of France, and that it will grow more consonant with our own, and that of other free States, may also be anticipated. In fact, the more we see the enemies of public free dom cast down or enrage at that event, the more do we feel disposed at its occurrence. With respect to the immediate cause of M. de Chateau brian's disgrace, it is that which we stated exclu sively last Monday to have been—" his opposi tion to the Ministerial Project" according to the Quo/Wien/le, or according to the Journal des Daats, " his having remained silent in the discussion on the law for reducing the Rentes," which was considered tantamount to opposition. The Quotidienne complains very much of the " rough and extraordinary manner" in which he was aprized of his dismissal. " On Sunday morning," says.that Paper, " the Minis ter for Foreign Affairs (Viscount Chateaubriand) was going to the Castle of the. Tuileries, whep he was informed that an important packet was , lying for him at his hotel, in the-street of the Ca pucines. He immediately went back and found the following letter from the President of the Council : " Monsieur le Vicomte—l obey the King's orders, and trans mit to you the enclosed Ordonnance." An hourafter, Made Chateaubriand quitted the Hotel of Foreign Relations, and retired to the lodgings which he had occupied in the street of St. Dominick, previously to being appointed a Minister, having sent to M. de Villele the fol lowing note, written in the same laconic style as that which he had received " Monsieur le Comte—l have quitted the Hotel of Foreign Affairs ; the Department is at your command." Count de la Feroimays, French Ambassador in Russia, and the Marquis of Talaru, who holds the same post in Spain, are now mentioned by the Ultras as likely to succeed M. de Chateaubriand ; but other accounts state that M. de Villele will keep the* situation for himself,• and will give his own to Count Chabral. LITERARY NOTICE. ROSALVIVA, or The DEMON DWARF; a Romance, in T, , nreeVolumes ; by GRENVILLE FLETCHER, Esq., Author " RIIODOHALDI." In balancing the comparative merits of Authors, the critic has a somewhat arduous, and, perhaps, difficult task; we are always grieved when we are compelled to censure, and pleased when we are permitted to praise. These volumes, we perceive from the title-page, are the the second effort of Mr. FLETCHER,III the " fiery fields" of ro mance, and certainly they are highly creditable to his talents. He appears to us to be a young man with strong feelings and a vivid imagination, his mind well stored with romantic ideas, and an acute observer of human nature. Rosalviva, the heroine of the piece, is a highly coloured and strong picture of the victim of ungovernable passions; perhaps she is more poetically than faithfully drawn, but this is an error into which most young authors are led by the influence of enthusiasm. Leontini (the Demon Dwarf) is a character of a very opposite description. Ile is first introduced to us as the favoured lover of Rosalviva, but is soon superseded in her affections by Paoli Golfieri, his bosom friend, whose false hood and infamy are gradually developed. Suf fering both insult and injury from his false friend and faithless mistress, Leontini retires from the world, and under the disguise of the dwarf Val froni, becomes the confidant of Rosalviva and of Paoli ; and at length bursts on them both in his proper character; when Rosalviva, stung to frenzy at the failure of her schemes and the triumph of Leontini, puts a period to her own miserable existence. The first meeting between the Comptessa and the Demon Dwarf is thus pourtrayed : " The soft glow of a Sicilian sky, in the middle of its most exhilirating season, had one evening invited the Comptessa to enjoy the mild ness of the refreshing breezes of the almost sleep ing Mediterranean for a greater length than was lice customary habit. The rippling current had borne her little bark, which was conducted by one attendant, to a considerable distance along the lake (which branched from the port of Pa lermo through a winding track of some length) before she observed the interval which had caused it. Her reflections were at length disturbed by the mellow tone of a lute ; the sound struck upon her ear with amazement and rapture ; the boat was stationary ; the echo of the waters near to the cavity, from whence seemed to proceed the harmony, conveyed a gratification to the mind of the listener of sweetest sensibility. The se renity of the evening aided the beauty and re liniment of the scene, and the Comptessa in dulged for several moments in a kind of ex tatic silence. After the melodist had repeated the strain of a soft canzonet with much taste and feeling, the voice in notes of beautiful tone and richness swelled into a delightful air, of which the Comptessa distinctly caught the following stanzas * * * * * *—" The pleasure of tine mo ment was too great to be parted with in silence, and quitting the boat, which was fastened to the projecting shore, she essayed to seek the retreat of the minstrel. The eminence which rose before her pourtrayed a wild but pleas ing sketch of nature; and as the crimson tints of the setting sun rested upon its sum mits, it gave appearance to some kind of build. ing, whose basis lay buried in the deep and woody inclosure beneath. Rosalviva pursued the track that tended to give the most ready access to the half-desolated retreat. The thick intervening branches of the chesnut and pine waved over the path in clusters that almost de fied penetration, and it was with considerable difficulty that she proceeded further. Attaining the extent of her path through an opposite and sloping direction, the Gothic remains of an edi fice, which, in the opinion of Rosalviva, had ori ginally been of a religious order, precluded fur ther communications, and she paused in an inter mission of breathless anxiety for the renewal of the minstrel's harmony. There was an agree able variety in the suspension of those moments, which served to lull tine mind into a melancholy yet pleasing calmness. Rosalviva gazed upon the surrounding scenery with feelings of mingled pleasure and sublimity. The softened streaks of the declining sun were attaining their more dusky hue ; its b eams st ill h ung upon th e di stant pros pect, deep en i ng, as t h e y seemed t o l ose them selves in th e w id e expanse of tine M e dit erranean, over whose blue surface the white sail of the gon dalier was seen floating, till it progressively be came lost from observation. Tho eye o f the Comptessa alternately surveyed each intervening object, and almost forgot the seclusion of the moment. The silence o f the spot conveyed to Rosalviva a thrill of singular sensation as to the re sult of her researches. Pursuing the direction of a partly dilapidated colonade, she was led to the en trance of a kind of cemetary,through whicha streak of light from th e h or izon broke thr oug h an oppo site cavity, and by its aid Rosalviva more dis tinctly reviewed the extent of the ruin. Sine passed its mouldering fabric, and,entering a nar. row portal, was again within sight of the waters which rolled beneath her. A small grot or ca vern projected itself from the acclivity, and thence she believed had issued the notes of the minstrel. She paused—the shadow of a human being met her eye—it retired—her footsteps seemed to linger where she then remained, and while her ruminations were buried in conjecture, the disturbance of the trees near to her broke the reverie, and turning her eye in astonishment, the Dwarf Valfroni stood beside her." The long dialogue which follow is written in elegant and forcible language ; and the scene thus concludes : " The eyes of the Dwarf seemed to convey more than usual brilliance as he smiled upon her, and while Rosalviva witnessed their expression, her soul cherished a kind of delight and animation, 1 from which she derived unspeakable pleasure. " Since, then, our wishes and ideas assimilate so closely, Signor Dwarf, their correspondence must not be at distant periods; you will give me to hope that the Castelli di Romagno shall be con sidered at all times open to your visits, and familiar to your uses ; suppose, for its first change, you favour me with its acknowledg ment in the evening of to-morrow ?"—" With grateful pleasure," answered Valfroni, and he respectfully kissed her hand. He careful ly conducted her from the declivity to the shore, and, unmooring the boat, waved his hand in repeated adieus, as the moonlight, breaking from the heavens, lighted the Comptessa from the rocky eminence." Our limits will not allow us to extract other passages : therefore must refer our readers to the volumes themselves, which will afford much pleasure to the lovers of Romance: BLASPHEMOUS PUBLICATIONS. We have often had occasion, as Journalists, a painful duty to discharge in adverting to certain diabolical Publications to shake the tenets of the Christian Faith, introduce disorder, and bring his MAJ EST Y and the Government into contempt : We think we cannot do better than direct the at tention of the deluded Authors of these writings to the following Extract from a Work by RAE WiLsoN, Esq., who has pointed at these abuses after a Journey over the Holy Land, where he compared the countries and still existing manners and customs with the descriptions of Holy Writ. " I travelled over countries where prophets had lived, in communion with the Father of Spirits, and had written for the instruction of those involved in a state of darkness. I trod that sacred soil, and my eyes beheld many of those places which were eminently sanctified by the presence of the Son of God, who performed miracles to astonished multitudes, and poured forth his precious blood to redeem a guilty World. " I sojourned in regions where distinguished men were commissioned to declare, and who published his power, cured diseases, and proclaimed the glad tidings of salvation. And, further, I was a wit ness of those mountains, seas, and cages where they wandered, and concealed their persons, who were scourged and tortured, nay, laid down their lives for the testimony of their Divine Master. Among the natives of these countries I had occa sion to mark a thousand minute circumstances in the manners and customs, fully corresponding with that clear and distinct narrative which has been handed down to us in the sacred volume and p roving to demonstration that the Scriptures con tain the word of God. " Had the supposition entered my mind that the volume of inspiration was a compiled narra tive of fraud and imposition, as scoffers of Iteli gion so impiously pretend, I must have been abundantly satisfied by all the accumulated mass of evidence which passed every moment under my eye during this journey, that no worm of the dust, by the highest ingenuity, could possibly have composed or compiled a history so harmonising in all its parts. The authenticity of it, therefore, rests on a most solid foundation, emanating from the great Author of our faith, with whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning, and it will endure till this earth exists no more. Here I would ask, can its historical detail be brought in any possible shape into question ? Where is there unfolded, in any volume under Heaven, such a Code of Laws and Precepts, and so coin pendious a system of morality, containing, in fact, all that the most mighty Monarch on the earth should know, 'and accommodated to the under standing and circumstances of every soul, yes, down to the most ignorant of mankind ? Does it not disclose events the most unparalleled and sublime in their nature, conveying the purest de light, and a mirror, as it were, in which all may have an opportunity of seeing their hearts re flected, where a powerful remedy is pointed out for sin by the precious blood of Christ, which was shed ? In short, no person who studies this revelation of mercy with any degree of attention, can otherwise than be satisfied that it is the most precious lewicy which has been given by God to man, since it lays open to his view a bright world beyond death and the grave, and points out the path which conducts to glory everlasting. When I reflect on the present age of infidelity, or, to use the expressions of a prophet, this day of trouble and blasphemy, where a spirit stalks abroad with gigantic pride, and when publications are sent forth with stings of deadly poison, circulated with unremitting exer tions, unparalleled effrontery, and in every art ful shape that Satanic imaginations can suggest, not only in violation of the tremendous judg ments of the Majesty of Heaven, but the esta blished laws of this land, wherein the enemies of our souls have attempted to shake the tenets of Christianity, and bring the great Author of our Faith into ridicule , lay the Church in ruins, sap tlje foundations of religion, and blow up the sacred deposit of this Gospel : I say, when I further perceive the object of these publications is to excite a spirit of disaffection and revolt against his Majesty, his family, and the Govern. ment of these realms, and even dare to direct atrocious reflections on the memory of his re vered father, oue of the brightest ornaments that ever filled the British throne; what is the lan. .guage that should be used on this accumulation of evil to so miserable a class of men as sceptics, atheists, and those who assume the namS free-thinkers ? I would address to such chali c i i ters the following observations :—I would o _, upon you, by the mercies of God, to look 0P; this Gospel, the old es t recor d i n ex i stence , tot ( purity of its doctrines, the accomplishment; Prophecy, the operation of the Holy Spirit, f oi l the corruption of your nature, and the remedy sin pointed out by the sacrifice of a Redeetnei which displays a b r illi ancy o f li g h t to ill um inate your path, and is the power of God unto sta ll tion.

Mark how powe rs fully it is represented, that it is a fearful thing t i fall into the hands of the living God, and beco o subject to those eternal punishments which a A denounced against the Guilty, who trample und er foot his only begotten Son. I implore you, theN to weigh its precepts and sublime admonition li as a revelation of Mercy from above, exclusively bestowed by the f ree grace o f G o d , and offered to all ranks of men, without money or price! Let it be engrav e n on your m i n d s that it i t b , i ) this sacred standard y ou mus t b e judged bell!, a dread tribunal, th e au th en ti c i ty o f which Y°:, pretend to doubt, nay throw aside as a cunning' , devised Fable.

All°" me then to express a hope, that under all the tf ternal and ext e rnal ev id ences o f t h e rea lty 1/ 0 this word, these ch arac t ers may experieice 10 their own cas e th e same happy conversion, that exemplified in the soul of that indilidn" who, similar to themselves, had been at one tit s not only an unb e li ev i ng bl asp h emer, but Vole 1: persecutor of the Lord of Glory, and itis 10 lowers." THE LATE WIII.
