THE LONDON JOURNALS. PALLY Extrath from the Morning Papers, May 5. [THIC TIMES. The mail from Lisbon, in addition to tl►e Gazette, which 'contain nothing of importance, yesterday bought letters to the 25th ult. A very groundless alarm was caused yesterday by a fact mentioned in the latter—viz., the arrival in the port of Lisbon, on the 21d, of the French Sloop of war l'lndefatigable, M. H. de Ville- Aeuve commander, with troops on board, from • ead4-z. This simple incident was magnified into a participatibn by France in the designs under stood to be formed by Portugal against Brazil.— The truth appears to be, according to the best in formation, that this vessel - had sick troops on I? , oard„ on their voyage home from Cadiz to - France. The accounts of the activity used by the Portuguese Government. in the equipment of vessels for Sea is renewed In these letters. The circumstance is variously explained ; ono party centc2ding that an expedition to Brazil is forth ' will' to take place, and that the force to be em ployed will consist of 9,000 men ; the other, that the preparations have no other object than placing the Portuguese navy, which had been wretchedly neglected, in an efficient state. The expences of a distant expedition, it is asserted, would by no means accord with the present resources of the Portuguese Treasury. By this arrival an expla nation is afforded of the route of those ships of war alluded to in our paper of yesterday. The Princrza Real frigate, and Providencia brig, which sailed from Lisbon on the sth of March, arrived at Madeira on the 12th, in company with four other ships of vcar. They sailed from thence on their return on the 23d, and arrived at Lisbon on the 21st ult. It is supposed that the others proceeded to tho Portuguese settlements at An gola, Aith some unfortunate persons on board, condemned to deportation for their attachment to the cause of the Constitution. [HORN[NG HERALD.] _ _ The king of Spain may roast, at least, one virtue in his treatment of those who have lent him their money—it is that of impartiality. The Constitutional creditors may now laugh in their turn at the more favoured subscribers to, or holders of, the Royal Loan—if indeed it be a real conso lation to have sharers in affliction, as most likely it is, when those sharers are rivals or adversaries. The parties engaged in the G uebhard, or Royalist Loan, seem to bear their crosses more impatiently than their predecessors. When the non-payment of the interest was announced on the Paris Ex change, there was a general outcry; h►s Most Catholic Majesty was called all manner of names, and denounced to eternal infamy. It was with difficulty that the police of the Stock Exchange —the police in France is omnipresent—could controul the ferment. But it is strange that these Gentlemen were not warned by his previous breach of faith. So far from it, they even pro nounced it a virtue, and a pledge of strict per formance to themselves ! " \V hat," said they, " keep faith with revolutionists ! No, no—his Majesty is now free to act after his own heart." It is true he has done so, and left, as we have observed, his Royalist Revolutionist friends to condole with each other. But, destitute as his Spanish Majesty is of money and credit, who is he to resort to next? lie has failed, it is said, even in obtaining from the South Americans a small f►um as the price of their independence. Judging by the ordinary progress of human af fairs, his Government, without credit or cash, must stop or go in pieces—or it will establish a golden age of Government. The former is rather more likely—and even with the presence of the French, a great crisis is hanging over the exist ing order of things which can hardly be avoided. King Ferdinand is now become so odious to all parties—Servile) as well as Constitutionalists— that the report is again revived of a Servile de sig: to place I►is brother on the Throne, and with his own consent. In that case, it is said he svotild once again take up his abode in France. [I4IORNING CHRONICLE.] Mr. Canning's account of his interview with the French Ambassador left room for supposing that he himself had shared the general apprehen sion, The interview was by no means a short one, though it does not follow that South Ame rica alone was the subject of consideration. — Something, however, more than usually agitates the European Cabinets at this time. The corre spondence between the French and Russian Ca binets is so very active, that a single day does not pass in which a courier does not have Paris for St. Petersburgh, or enters Paris from that ca pital ; nay, it not unfrequently happens, from the number of couriers on route at the same time, that there are actually none in Paris. W. W. Maberly brought forward a motion for the relief of Ireland, by placing - a certain sum at the disposal of Commissioners, who should make advances with a view to - enable the peasantry to prosecute certain branches of industry in that country. We agree with . tho Honourable Mover as to the causes of the misery of the people of Ireland. They arose c hi e fl y , as he s t a t e d, f rom an excessive and redundant population, as com pared with the amount of employment which ex isted for them. We agree with him also, th at t h e Legislature ought- to remove the stimulants to this excessive population, created by the low qua _ lifications for freeholds. With respect to theCatho licClergy,who,asheobserved, naturally encourage marriages, for the sake of the fees they derive from them, the remedy is not so obvious.—ln Austria we believe the priests dare not celebrate marriage till the consent of the local authorities is ob tained ; but a regulation of this sort would not be deemed , compatible with a free Government. — The withdrawing of stimulants to excessive popu lation may prevent the distance between the num bers and the employment for them, from becom ing greater ; but how are we to deal with the ex jyting unemployed part of the people ? This is the difficulty of difficulties. The very excess of numbers without employment is the cause of dis order, and insecurity of property ; and, while property is insecure, the investment of capital, by which the necessary employment might be ob tained, cannot take place. 64 The want of capital in Ireland," as the Chancellor of the Exchequer truly observed," arose from the want of security ; were it otherwise, there seemed no reason why it should not flow into Ireland as freely as it had done into Scotland." Mr. Moberly pro poses an indirect means of producing that secu rity, by drawing from the more prosperous parts of the empire funds for the developement of in dustry among the Irish, putting them, as it were, in the right path, and stimulating the whole by the exhibition of successful in stances. When once a beginning has been made, it is supposed that capitalists will readily step forward. We admire the benevolent intentions of Mr. Moberly, but we cannot help thinking the objections stated by Ministers to his plan are not to be surmounted. We do not s e e how any branch of industry can be carried on advan tageously in any other manner than under the controul of private enterprize. A Government cannot take the place of individuals. It will not do to tamper with Ireland. A change of system and strong measures arg necessary. These, and these alone, will produce security, the parent of accumulation and industry.—(lbid.) [NEW TIMES.] The arrival yesterday of a Lisbon Mail was again converted to a subject of alarm, because the letters received by it mention, as they have done for the last three months, the fitting out of some vessels of war, whose destination it was I considered was certainly the Brazils; a number of troops, it was added, was to accompany these ships, as soo❑ as transports should arrive ; but where they were to come from was beyond all calculation. This formidable expedition, even the sailing of which was a matter of doubt, is treated with much levity by the writers of the letters we have seen, but produced in the City yesterday some interest, from the circum stance of the late rumours respecting the French ships at Rio ; and it was immediately presumed that the united forces of France and Portugal were to co-operate for the recovery of the latter Power's Colonies. There were no arrivals from France ; but in consequence of the existing feel ings, the Funds were lower than on Monday after noon. Consols, which were done in the morning at 962, closed at 96i for the account. The Foreign Securities, with the exception of the French Funds, were also lower; Colombian Bonds from 90 to 594 Ex Div., the Scrip from 3; to 2f premium. Mexican Scrip, too, was a shade lower. The French Rentes were purchased to some extent at 1041. 50c., with the exchange 25. 40 to 50. There was much interest evinced upon the subject of the Brazil Loan ; yesterday being the day upon which it was expected the contract would be declared ; but we learn, upon inquiry, that in consequence of the late reports the time has been extended until Friday next. [MORNING POST.] Although so much of the important business of the Session was disposed of previously to the Easter recess, several discussions of great interest may be expected to engage the attention of Par liament between the present time and its proro gation. Among these, the affairs of Ireland, as is usual at this period. of the year, will doubtless hold a conspicuous place. Most all the measures relative to that part of the United Kingdom, emanating from his Majesty's Government, will have to be debated, besides a variety of ques tions formally announced by Members of the Opposition, together with such as are likely to originate in a very formidabl e brood of Petitions, which it is understood have been lately hatching in the Sister Country under the auspices of the " Catholic Association."— Upon this subject it may not be improper or un necessary to suggest, whether it would not be prudent for the Legislature, before the threatened fulminations take place, to weigh what encou ragement it is prepared to afford to a self-consti tuted body arrogating such powers, and affecting such representative authority as the " Catholic Association." Parliament cannot be unaware that this Association has presumed to levy a poll tax on the miserable peasantry of Ireland, and, like other ingenious financiers, has not only esti mated the produce of the imposition, but abso lutely appropriated the amount, with genuine Hibernian forethought, even before its collection commenced ! The " Catholic Press," what ever that may be, has been promised se veral thousands of the rent, as the tax in question is termed, and some► of the Irish News papers, we believe, know from experince that they cannot fail to fatten on so lucrative a prospect. But waving these minor considerations, we again ask, is not Parliament bound to discountenance the monstrous pretensions of this club of griev ance-mongers, when they dare to approach the Legislature in their arrogated capacity of a Re presentative Assembly ? It is absurd to trifle with incendiaries of such a description—their object is mischief, and their means irritation—nor will Ire land ever know one hour of real tranquillity, or its inhabitauts enjoy a gleam of fraternal happiness, w hile a set of melo-dramatic Politicians, like the Parliament of Capel-street, are suffered to " fright the Isle from its propriety," with fiery and furious menaces of oppression and civil strife. We trust the Legislature will bear these things in mind as soon as the Petitions of the Catholic As sociation are brought under its notice; for we see no reason why Orange Societies should be denounced, and Catholic Societies, equally in flammatory in their tendency, and much more dangerous in their object, openly encouraged. [BRITISH PRESS.' Lord Lauderdale brought in a Bill last night to remove all restrictions on the silk trade imme diately. The Noble Lord stated, that his reason for doing so was to prevent the two Bills—that which related to the restrictions, and that which permits the introduction of French silk goods— from coming into operation at the same time,— Lord Lauderdale said, he wished the restrictions to be removed immediately, that a full year might be afforded to see the progress made in the ma chinery previous to the introduction of French silks. We have no doubt that all the apprehen sions entertained respecting this interesting branch of our manufactures will prove unfounded, and that in a very few years our machinery will be so improved, as to have nothing to fear from French competition, or the most unli mited freedom of foreign importation, in that manufacture. The silk manufacture IFI France was originally introduced from Italy. The fabric of silks, velvets, and brocades, flourished at Lucca during the 13th century : they were driven from thence by the tyranny of one of Machiavel's heroes, Castrucci° Castracani. In 1310, nine hundred families were driven out of Lucca, of whom upwards of thirty retired to Venice, and there offered to introduce the silk manufacture. Their offer was accepted, many privileges were conferred upon them, and they began the manu facture with 300 workmen. In this way the silk trade was also introduced at Lyons. When the manufacture was first established at Venice the materials were all brought from Sicily and the Levant; the more ancient fabric of silks at Lucca was likewise carried on with foreign materials.— The cultivation of mulberry-trees,and the breeding of silk worms,seem not to have been common in the northern parts of Italy, before the 16th century. They were not introduced into France till the reign of Charles IX., and more than half the ma terials of the Lyons manufacture are still foreign silk. The manufacture of hosiery, which now stands so high in this country, little more than two centuries ago was unknown. The first per son that wore stockings in England is said to have been Queen Elizabeth, who received them as a present from the Spanish Ambassador. Till then the hose were made of common cloth. In the same way the manufacture of fine cloths was long unknown in England, and imported here from the rich and commercial country of Flan ders, and even then the machinery employed was much more imperfect than it is at present. The woollen manufacture is now the great staple of this country. In the same way, we have no doubt, the silk manufacture will increase, and that the gradual improvement of British skill and machinery will, in a few years, extend our sale beyond the home market, and find considerable vent abroad, where French silks are now taken ; and the silk trade be yet one of the most flourish ing manufactures of this Empire. A MILKMAID. BY SIR THOMAS OVERBURY. "A fair and happy Milkmaid is a country wench that is so far from making herself beautiful by art that one look of hers is able to put all, face-physic out of countenance. She knows a fair look is but a dumb orator to commend vir tue, therefore minds it not. All her excellencies stand in her so silently, as if they had stolen upon her without her knowledge. —The lining of her apparel, which is herself, is far better than outsides of tissue ; for though she be not arrayed in the spoil of the silk-worm ' she is decked in innocence, a far better wear ing. She (loth not, with lying down in bed, spoil both her complexion and conditions ; nature bath taught her, too, immoderate sleep is rust to the soul ; she rises, therefore, with Chanticleer, her dame's cock. And at night makes the lamb her curfew. In milking a cow, and straining the teats through her fingers, it seems that so sweet a milk press makes the milk whiter or sweeter ; for never came al mond-gore or aromatic ointment on her palm to paint it. The golden ears of corn fall and kiss her feet when she reaps them, as if they wish to be bound and lead prisoners by the same hand that felled them. Her breath is her own, which scents all the year long of June, like a riew hay_ cock. She makes her hand hard with labour, and her heart soft with pity; and when winter evenings fall early, sing ing at her merry wheel, she sings defiance to the giddy wheel of fortune. She (loth all things with so sweet a grace, it seems ignorance will not suffer her to do ill, being her mind is to do well. She b es t o ws her year's wages at next fair, and in choos ing her garments counts no bravery in the world like decency. The garden and bee-hive are all physic and surgery, and she lives the longer for it. She dares go alone, and unfold sheep in the night, and fears no manner of ill, because she means none; yet, to say the truth, she is never alone, but is still accompanied with old songs, honest thoughts, and prayers, but short ones ; yet they have their efficacy, in that they are not palled with ensuing g idle cogitations. Lastly, tier dreams are so chaste, that she dare tell them : only a Friday's dream is full of superstition ; that she conceals for fear of and all her care is, she may die in t a l n ie ge. Thus ep r ringtimel,ies s to leave estores of flowers stuck upon her wind ing-sheet." at Kernback house, the atteu- A few days ago, tion of the servants was excited by the appearance of a common duck at the kitchen door, quacking, or rather screaming in a most unusual manner. It was known to have been hatching, and hunger was supposed to be the occasion of the clamour.— Food was accordingly thrown to it, but instead of eating it seized the servant girl by her apron, and pulled it with some force. The girl, though probably surprised at the fa miliarity of the animal, shut the door and resumed her work. The poor duck, however, was not to be repulsed in this manner, and continued beating at the door with its bill and wings till it attracted the notice of the ladies in the house. The door was re-opened, when it again seized the girl with its bill, and pulled her with increased force. —On the servant going a little way from the door, the duck ceased its noise, and waddled on with considerable expe dition towards the Park. The girl followed it for a short way, but having no idea of what it would be at, and pos sessing less than an ordinary share of female curiosity, was, returning to the house, when the duck pursued her, quacking with more violence than ever. She determined to see the end of this, and followed her now silently com panion, who led the way to a sunken watering trough in the park, in which, much to her astonishment, she found two ducklings, apparently but a day old, in the mud, from which they were vainly endeavouring to extricate themselves. They were immediately released, to the apparent satisfaction of the mother, who, in a very singular manner, had thus saved the life of her offspring.—(Fife Herald.) Last week tho workmen commenced opera- Lions for the restoration of the fine Gothic window in the north transept of St. Nicholas' Church, Newcastle-upon-Ty ne . This window, remark able for the rich tracery in its upper part, has long been in a ruinous state, and was nearly de stroyed by a high wind two years ago. Much to the credit of all th e parties concerned, it has been determined to restore this window in its original style. We understand that the South American Pa triot, General SI N MARTIN, who was represented to have enriched himself by exactions from the inhabitants of Lima, is arrived at Havre de Grace, in comparative poverty. He has with him only one is att e ndant , o a mulatto boy, and his annual in come be scarcely sufficient to enable at e si t him to live in a state of genteel retirement. It has, we believe, wholly escaped notice, though the occurrence is of an old date, that there sailed from Lisbon on the sth of March last the following ships of war :—The Princeta Real, 50 guns; Arnazona, 46 guns ; the Tristan and Galatea corvettes; the Providencia and Con stancia brigs. The destination of these ships is not known, nor have they been since heard of. They were the best sailers in the Portuguese navy. FOR THE SUN. HOUSE OF AUSTRIA: MR. EDITOR—This ancient and illustrious house derives its origin from Eticho, who was Duke of Swabia and Alsace in the eighth cen tury. In the course of the ninth century, it was divided into the branches of Hapsburg!), and of Lorraine, which were again reunited in 1745, by the marriage of the Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria with Francis Duke of Lorraine. The severe contests between the Popes and the Swabian dynasty, which had been greatly em bittered by the claims of the latter to the succes sion of the Countess 'Mechtillis, or Matilda, who had enriched the Holy See with considerable possessions, had, for some time, plunged the Em pire into a state of the most distressing anarchy. Upon the death of Conrad IV. the last of the Swabian Princes that swayed the imperial sceptre, when no less than six competitors claimed the vacant Throne, the electors, aware of the neces sity of selecting a person capable of restoring peace and tranquillity to the distractd state, on the 30th of September, 1273, raised Rodolph of Hapsburg!), a simple Knight, possessed of little wealth, but of much courage and firmness of mind, to the Imperial dignity ; and thus paved the way to the final accession of the House of Austria. With a spirit that has ever formed oee of the characteristic features of the Austrian dynasty, no sooner was Rodolph securely seated on the throne than he raised the honours of his house, by creating the Duchy of Austria into an Archduchy, a title which was confirmed to it nearly 200 years afterwards by the Emperor Frederick It is somewhat remarkable that Elizabeth, sister of Rodolph, was given in marriage to Frederick of Hohenzollern, from whom the present Royal House of Prussia is lineally descended. Although Rodolph could not procure for his son the imperial dignity, which was granted to Adolph, Count of Nassau, in 1292, yet upon the death of this Emperor, Albert 1., Archduke of Austria, was elected as his successor, in the year 1298. It was during the reign of this Prince that the Swiss, who had been for some time sub ject to the House of Austria, threw off the yoke, and laid the foundation of the Republic of Swit zerland. Upon the death of Albert 1., who fell by the hand of his nephew, he was succeeded by Henry, Count of Luxemburg, in 1309. Lewis, Duke of Bavaria, was raised to the throne, notwithstand ing all the efforts of Frederick of Austria, who had the mortification of finding 20,000 of his best troops defeated by only 1,500 Switzers at Moral], an event which led to the final emancipation of Switzerland, whose independence was now acknowledged by their former masters. During the space of about two hundred years, although the House of Austria considerably in creased its domains, none of its members suc ceeded in obtaining the Imperial dignity. This great object of their wishes was at length ob tained in 1438, when Albert 11. of Austria, son in-law of the late Emperor, Sigismund, King of Hungary, notwithstanding the intrigues of the Empress Barbara, justly surnamed the Mes salina of the North, on account of the licentious ness of her conduct, was placed upon the throne of the empire, which was occupied without in. terruption by his descendants until the changes in the German constitution introduced by Napo leon Buonaparte. During this long period of the Austrian dynasty, nothing is more remarkable than the many marriages which gradually in creased its territorial possessions, and its political importance. Among these six are noticed in history as particularly fortunate. They are as follows : Ist. That of Albert I. with the heiress of Corinthia, and of the Tyrol. 2d. That of Albert It with the heiress of Ferette and Alsace. _ _ _ 3d. That of Albert V. with the heiress of Bohemia and Hungary. 4th. That of Maximilian with the heiress of Burgundy and of the Netherlands. sth. That of Philip IV. with the heiress of Spain, Naples, and Sicily. 6. That of Ferdinand I. with the heiress of Bohemia and of Hungary, by which the crowns of these kingdoms were finally restored to the House of AusEria. It was the marriage of Maximilian with Mary, only daughter of Charles the Bold, Duke of Bur gundy, which gave rise to the rivality and con sequent wars between Austria and France, which long agitated the whole of Europe. They arose immediately upon the death of the Duke of Bur gundy, whose possessions were claimed by Louis XI., King of France, who, though he lost Franche Comte and the Netherlands, yet succeeded in annexing Burgundy to his own dominions. This spirit of rivality between the two crowns was greatly increased by the unsuccessful attempt of Francis I. of France to obtain the Imperial Crown, and by his long wars against his more fortunate and crafty competitor, Charles V. It was, however, these wars between such powerful rivals which introduced among the other crown ed heads of Europe that once favourite political maxim of preserving a balance of power, which they thought could alone ensure the independence of each sovereign Prince. • Amongst the many remarkable occurrences in Germany that happened during the successive reigns of the Austrian Princes, the most remark able are :—The division of the empire into circles ; they were originally ten in number, viz. Westphalia, Upper Saxony, Lower Saxony, Upper Rhine, Lower Rhine, Franconia, Swabia, Bavaria, Austria. and Burgundy ; but upon the annexation of the title to France they were reduced to only nine. It waS also during this period that the political constitution of Germany, which presented a mixture of the Monarchical and Aristocratical forms of Go vernment, and which existed until annihilat ed by Buonaparte iu 1806, was finally esta blished. Another event of considerable im portance was the establishment of the Imperial Chamber, or Supreme Court of Justice, which held its sittings at Wetzlar. This Court, as well as the Aulic Council, were created by the Em peror Maximilian in the year 1495, but both ceased to exist when the ancient Constitution of Germany was annihilated in 1806. A. P. T. W. BEAUMONT, Esq. M.P. has purchased le Bear! estate for 23,0001.—(Leas Paper.) DEFEAT of SIR CHARLES mccARTHY AND THE BRITISH TROOPS. TO THE EDITOR. 8, Queen-square, 'Westminster, May 4. Silt—As great fears are entertained for the safety of our excellent Governor, Sir CHAttrati 11/MARI-11y, and as it may be some consolation to his friends in this country (among whom I am proud to consider myself one not the least inte rested), to learn that there are still hopes of his being in existence, permit me to offer the follow ' it cannot observati on s u p on t hi s subject :—Although cannot be disputed that the Ashantees are a bar' barons nation, yet, as I have been among them,• and witnessed their humanity to prisoners w hich they captured in their late wars with the Bunts koos, I can, of course, speak with confidence upon this subject ; and if the same King (Zal Tootoo Quamina), who was alive when I was at Coomassie, is still in existence, I can pledge my` self for the safety of Sir Charles Nl‘Carthy, heir:: well acquainted with his sable Majesty's dispo tion, and having the utmost confidence in his manity. The following reasons also induce I. to think Sir Charles's life will be preserved :- 1. When I was at Coomassie, in 1820, I one of the Chiefs of the Buntakoos, who had hi., taken prisoner by the Ashantees, walking abuui with his attendants, enjoying his liberty, and ever/ attention and respect. 2. After the battle of Benda, where the Fan• tees were defeated by the Ashantees, one of their chiefs, named Ato, was taken prisoner and sent to Coomassie, where he was set at liberty, and offered to be restored to the Fantees upon the payment of 5404 which was demanded for Ini ransom. 3d. It is not by any means a case without pre cedent for the Ashantees to have a European Go vernor in their possession as a prisoner, and treating him kindly ; as they some years ago captured a Governor Flindt and kept him for five months, during which time he was t re ated with the greatest humanity and respect ; a fter which he was ransomed for 4001. Upon all these occasions, A pokoo, the General in Chief of the Ashantees, commanded ; and as there is little doubt that he is with the army who have captured Sir Charles, there is reason to hope that as he saved the lives of others, he will also spare that of Sir Charles AFC:artily. Sincerely wishing that this may be the case, I am, Sir, Your obedient humble Servant, WM. HUTTON. SHOCK/N G CASE OF CRUELTY.--At the llents Easter Sessions, held at Winchester on Tuesday last, the 27th ult., the Rev. R. WRIGHT ad dressed the Court respecting lunatic paupers,and (according to a report of the proceedings inserted its The Winchester Journal) narrated the follow ing case, as " having happened within his own knowledge :"—" A very respectable young "- man, during her state of pregnancy, became in sane. Her husband not being able to support her, she was placed in the poor-house, in the company of four other wreched beings like herself. She was thence removed to a Lu• natic Asylum, where the visiting Justices saw her ; she was then perfectly tranfluil, and related her misfortunes. She knew that she had been insane, and that consequently restraint was ne cessary to prevent mischief ; and she explain ed how that restraint was effected. It was by a ligature round her ancles, which was so tight.. ly bound, that the circulation of the blood was stopped, and a mortification came on both feet. In less than a week after she was sent to the Lunatic Asylum, her feet rotted, and both fell off at the ancle joints! (A general expression of horror throughout the whop , ' Court followed the Rev. Gentleman's pa" thetic relation. After a short pause Mr. W. pro ceeded.) The poor creature bore it all with re signation. She wished she had been at first taken to the Asylum. She wished to live long enough to give birth and nourishment to her child, and then to die before that child could know the misfortunes of its ill-fated parent. Her wish was fulfilled—she► did give birth to her child, she nog' rished it, and she died !" COURSF. OF EXCHANGE, May 4. Anisteidata .. 12 0 C.F.
