THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extrads from the Morning Papers, Jan. 24. [MORNING CBRONICLL An - Ukase has been issued by the Emperor of Rossia, imposing additional duties on commo ihties imported into that country. In several instances the existing duties are quadrupled; in all cases they are considerably increased. The reason assigned is, " in order to diMinish the im portation and consumption of. certain foreign articies, tending, principally to the encourage ment et luxury, and to the prejudice of oar own ioditstry."---W hen a nation has once acquired a fondness for certain commodities, an attempt to prevent the use of them will always be nugatory. Prohibition, or duties amounting to prohibition, will only give rise to smuggling. Nations - not forego their accustomed enjoyments :It the command of a Government. Laws may De multiplied, heavy penalties may be im posed en their contravention, oaths- may be roqnired ; the commodities will still- find their erly to the 'consumer. The attempt will only make an immoral people still more immoral, eud demoralize a moral people. Lord Kames states, ;hat in Scotland, where the reverence for oaths e as, anti still is greater perhaps than in any other coantry, all the claret and other French i,ifirties Were regularly sworn to at the Custom house as Spanish wines, and that the Custom b.)use officers regularly connived at the perjury. .1n America, on the other hand,-where the duties inipoittiOn are in all cases low, smuggling is nllicnown.—ltussia is of all countries perhaps th:d of which the population can least withstand '-";1;11ation. From the Nlinister of State down to ;owest officer in the .' emplo of the Govern .l mel,t, all are accessible to bribes. Of course, is :lot itS such a country that the problem which hitherto puzzled all Statesmen, of giving, e.F.(-ct to la'r"ds imposing high duties on goods in g-c.nt.tal request, is to be first solved :-- At the Custom-houses (says Dr. ',ya p ) the general venality is alarming in the highest degree to the fair trader; and, no .doubt, forces men of the best principles to have recourse to ex pedients of whiCh they never would have dreamed in other cir cumstances. I have had some expemience myself at the Cus tom-house at Petersburgh; and to avoid having my numerous be .es opened, both on entering and on quitting Russia, I have 'allowed an agent to anange the affair. He asks you so much each of the 'officers with whom he has to deal, and so much for Wrn,ell; and the sums being paid, your property may be conveyed off as soon at the regular forms are gone through. I have also managed the affair myself, and openly given the sums of money. ..... The Custom-house officers might b changed every day, and cne mass of corruption be sup planted by another without the least change in the system of pnver2on and roguery." [MORNING POST.] The conduct of the Emperor of the Brazils, as represented by the last accounts, bears unques tionably a very treacherous complexion. We 'never considered that Prince any thine more than a suspicious friend to Constitutional Government, either in the new or the old world, since the epistle to his Royal Father against the Cortes at Lisbon, p'lblisheri by him some months back ; but after • not only successfully following the example of tz.ose adventurous tyrants Cromwell and Boone per;.e, but improving on their Republican temerity, we confess we now see scarce any prospect of free dom for the Brazilian people. An army is certainly often useful to restrain internal commotion as well as to repel foreign aggression or resent foreign insult. In this case, however, it has been em ployed to subvert the whole frame of Govern rne:lt, and in the first instance, arbitrarily to arrest its most efficient members. A Monarch who thus dispenses with the very forms of justice at:'l constitutional decency, under whatever pre tence, is not-likely to feel any scruples in resort in!, to the same means for the worst possible o; ) jects ; nor can we, for the present at least, see any reasonable ground of hope that the Emperor of the. Efraz.ils will .prove the error of the opinion t Gr i: ie d of h-is conduct in this respect. [NEW TIMEs.I., The various advices which have been received by different conveyances from Brazil afford but little ground for conjecture as to the ultimate views of the Emperor in the late forcible mea sures whicli he has adopted. It appears that the Cortes of Rio Janeiro bed provoked their own diszo4ution by a violent debate on occasion of a fietty quarrel between two obscure On.this occasion, it is said, " the public lost all resjieCt for the House, and mingled with the W./embers," &C. &c.--in other words, the early scenes of the French Revolution were beginning to be played over, when the people in the Galle ries of the . National Assembly applauded or hooted down the Members of the Legislature.— iewas high time that some authority should interpose, for which the public had not yet" lost ;!il respect." But 'whether in his interposition ti t': , nperor was guided by a d es i re t o es t a bli s h the independence of Brazil on a more secure bask, or whether he meditates taking shelter un!h , r the protection of Portugal, is a question we hitherto possess not the means of re- solving. LgOIUILNG lIERALII. - 1 The [louse of /Assembly of Jamaica appears to be in a state of open warfare with his Majesty's Ministers, on the subject of some recent Sta tutes and regulations for bettering the .condition of slaves. A memorial, or rather a remonstrance, was resolved, and actually prepared, to be ad dressed to his Majesty. It is difficult to con ceive how the letter of Lord Bathurst to the Governor of Demerara, which has provoked s!ich resentments, could produce in that colony the effects that are ascribed to it—no less than the discontent and rebellion of the Negroes, there, 'and the danger of similar consequences in other islands. Upon reference to the letter, it will be found that the 'Noble Lord merely directs that the punishment of flogging shall no longer be inflicted on female slaves, and that the whip shall be rather more sparingly used the men—if, indeed, a slave can be called a I nan. The colonists complain, with vehemence and indignation, that persons at a distance from the scene should treat their affairs with confi dence and assumption—and, naturally enough, claim to be them Selves heard- in preference, be cause they are on ,the spot and have great in terests at stake. This, however, may be the best reason for receiving their views with cau tion, and their representations with distrust. — Objects may be too near, as well as tolCdiStant, for accurate observation. The quest,i'on on the showing of the colonists is one of the most me lancholy. The sum and substance of their ob jections amounts to this—that every step made in improving the condition of the slaves, by protect ing their persons, or developing their mental fa• culties, is a step to rebellion. But how dreadful the alternative !—that of breaking down and brutalizing them, in order to preserve their obe dience. Perhaps it may, , be an unreasonable sup position, that a greater advance in knowledge, and generally in the scale of human being, would make the slave more tractable and contented. It can hardiy be denied that the elements of know ledge, and the habits of thinking, which the ne groes have derived from the zealous efforts used to make them acquainted with, and believers in, the principles of Christianity, have made them more susceptible of excitement—more easily mis led by others, or deluded by themselves. But it is not at all improbable that a further advance in civilization would be an advance from turbulence to tranquillity. [BRITISH PR ESS:II Harnburgh papers to the 17th contain the new ' proscriptive tariff of the Russian Autocrat, evi dently levelled at our commerce. This is the grateful return made to this country for all its monstrous subsidies, and its late loans. This De. tree raises the duties,, on some articles near fifty, and , on others more than twenty4ve per cent.; the increase in some instances amounts in fact to a prohibition. The duty on porter by the hogshead is increased ten silver rubles (more than twenty shillings) ; the duty on our West Indian produce, rum, is raised twenty-five per cent.; raw sugars are, to pay a silver ruble per pood in addition ; coffee, two rubles; a number of other articles in the same proportion follow. Any loss our commerce may sustain by this new proscrip tion of the grateful Alexander, will be more than compensated by our intercourse with Greece, should its people (as there can now be little doubt) establish their liberties. Russia will suffer infinitely more than our merchants by this oppressive system; it will reduce the demand for her produce, and lessen considerably the re venues of her Nobles, who derive their resources from such a commerce. In proportion as Russia diminishes her demand for our produce and merchandize, her own exportation will be lessened, and her revenue curtailed : she is yet, with her vast dominions, semi -barbarous, and incapable of supplying, from domestic sources, those articles of luxury and manu facture proscribed by the Autocrat's tariff. The preamble to the Decree states its purpose to be, " to dimish the importation and consumption of 44 certain foreign articles, tending principally to " the encouragement of luxury and the prejudice 44 of Russian industry." But where wealth exists luxury will follow. The Russian Court was long the most luxurious and depraved in Europe ; and this Decree, therefore, will not exclude these articles ; they will be smuggled into th e Auto crat's dominions, and the trade in them be con. traband. We know the dissimulati o n and false hood of the Russian character —how prompt it is ' at invention, and how prone to s hifts and false hood ; and this Decree will only be a new in. centive to the exertions of the Russian dealers and merchants : but it unmasks more strongly the amicable feelings of Alexander towards this country, and is impotent in its effects to any amount against our commerce, new outlets to which, in the east and west, are now each day rising up, and presenting unbounded sources of speculation and industry to our manufacturers and merchants, [THE TIMES.] The Ministers of the Emperor Alexander have, it seems, made a considerable addition to the im port duties on foreign manufactures and TJroduce. In other words, they have been throwing fresh difficulties in the way of Russian exports to fee. reign countries. To what extent the English trade may suffer from the the adoption by Alex ander of these fiscal barbarisms, already worn out and condemned by the discerning nation against whose interests he would now direct them, it is easy to guess. Russia cannot injure• Great Britain by means which are calculated to re press the rising industry of Russia herself, but to rouse the enterprise of Englishmen into a search after new paths of commerce, and into a cultivation of resources before untried, only because the want of theta had not been hitherto experienced. We have little to dread from a rival armed with those very weapons which we have ourselves cast aside as unser viceable. The war of prohibitions is disastrous to none so completely as to him who wages it ; and the Russian Government, by this gross blun der, proves against itself an absence of political civilization, no less remarkable than that moral and social rudeness which has long been a re proach to its subjects. Sugar, coffee, porter, cotton, woollens, in their several stages of manu facture, are all affected by the tariff now published at St. Petersburgh. But will the prohibitions, as rather, perhaps, the diminished sales, thus intended, be real ? We apprehend not. The Russian manufacturer will, it is fair to presume, be as little benefitted by the mono poly, as the State by the duty. The smuggler will trick them both ; and of foreign commodi ties just as much is likely to be consumed in spate of this bastard continental system (indeed more) as in defiance of the legitimate one, raised into life by Buonaparte. But should this indiscretion on the part of Russia produce to England the evils which it is possible were anticipated by some of its authors, what follows ?—Why, that England must of necessity cling with increased force to those advantages which she holds inde pendent of the of Russia, that she must strengthen the ties which connect her with other nations, and improve those resources which their friend ship and their markets offer. If Russia had perceived in the British Government, for ex• . ample, a stupid indifference to the blessings of which the freedom and prosperity of the Ame rican continent, its final dismemberment from the continent of Europe, and intimate union with Great Britain 'herself, might be rendered productive to this commercial Empire if, seeing this blindness of the British Govern ment to its most obvious interests and duties, the Imperial Cabinet had sought the means of rous ing our Ministers to a sense of them, we know not of any more masterly expedient for awaken ing their stupidity, or compelling their repui nance, than this, which proves that the countries of Europe, the most abundant in raw material, and least advanced in art, are henceforth to be nothing to the English merchant ; and therefore, that he can have no dependance kit upon regions in another hemisphere, which are, like Russia, rich in produce, and un skilled in manufacture, but which do not unwisely and perversely, like her, seek to transpose the natural relations of communities suffering under opposite wants, and formed for reciprocal ac commodations. The Princes of the continent appear to us—no less by their mercantile than their political system—to have agreed upon tying this country to a stake, and forcing her into an alliance with every thing American, for the de feat and mortification of the monarchical prin ciple in Europe. It I E G 0. THE DYING MEMORIAL of RIEGO to his WIFE, WITH SOME PARTICULARS. OF HIS LAST HOURS. The following well-authenticated particulars of the last hours of General Rua°, are exceed ingly interesting, as they speak volumes, as to the treatment of that unfortunate patriot while in prison, and completely refute the calumnies with which his memory was attempted to be sul lied by the propogation of his pretended recanta tion and confession. Indeed the document which appeared in some of the French Papers, purport ing to be the confession of General ItIEGO, needed no evidence to convince the world of its want of authenticity, the bungling fabricator of it having made the General sign it two ddjis after his execution ! ! General ROCHE, who lately arrived in England, was the bearer of a small parcel addressed to a Mr. BINDER, an Italian gentleman, now in London. The General was quite ignorant of the contents of this parcel. On its reaching its destination, however, it was found to contain a black and white handker chief, enclosed in an envelope, with a letter, from which it ap peered, that they had been transmitted to the Duchess de Fries, by General Riego, a few hours previous to his death. On the fifth of October, two days before the execution of the unfortunate patriot, a confessor, whom Riego had prevailed upon by the most ardent entreaties, waited upon the Duchess to ascertain whether she would receive a memorial from him, to transmit to his wife. It'appears that this lady is related by marriage to the Riegos, General Valdes, a cousin of the late General Riego, having married her sister. The Duchess immediately consented to receive the memorial. The Confessor went away, and a few hours afterwards returned with a bl ac k handkerchief,which Riego was desirous should be forwarded to his wife. The next day, that is the day before the execution, the same priest brought a white handkerchiefto be transmitted to Gen. Val des. The man positively refused to enter into any explanation. He was deaf to all entreaties. In fact he was evidently afraid to answer questions, apparently the most indifferent. Ile had no doubt been prevailed upon, out of compassion to the victim, to under take the charitable commission of delivering these memorials of love. The manner in which it was undertaken and executed, dearly groves that it was contrary to the orders of those who had the superintendence of Riego's imprisonment ; and the affair confirmatory of his having had opiates admi nistered tgoethheimr is t opreventh him from speaking at the place of execution. Had his gaolers not been convinced that he could have written in such a manner to his wife, that would have completely falsified their tales writingtalesof : or had h his c o nfession, been inclinedion,hewould ri to ot h h a a v v e e re b c e an en ted:they prevented i would, n o d ou b t, have permitted him to send letters to an y p ar t of the world, provided such recantation made a part of them. But Riego could not be prevailed upon to disgrace himself, therefore was he cut off from all intercourse, I eithe r by message or letter, with the world, to which he was doomed so shortly to bid an everlasting farewell. The story too of hi s h av ing written a letter t o solicit his pardon is com pletely falsifi e d by this anecdote. —The handkerchiefs are both at present in the hands of the C anon not having a rr ived in England. Riego, General Valdes QUEEN-SQviutE. — (Dashing Swindler.)—This morning a female of very prepossessing appear ance, habited in a widow's garb, named Floretta Percival, was , brought up, charged with having swindl e d Mr. Lee, a dealer in lace, of a piece of that commodity - of foreign manufacture.—lt ap peared that the fair delinquent had frequently made purchases at the shop of the prosecutor, and on the other day she called and requested to look at a card of lace, worth about 101._ The shopman produced several, and she made choice of one. She then requested leave to take it to a Lady, who had commissioned her to make the purchase for her to look at it.-- This was granted, and the fair customer was traced to a pawnbrokers, where she left the lace in care of her wide. She was yesterday taken promenadin g in Hyde Park.—Remanded for fur ther examination. AWFUL VISITAVON.. o,F. PeovlnEricE..--Mr. Love, jeweller, M . liond . -street,., after walking w ith his family i n Hyde Park, on Sunday last, apparently in perfect health, went borne, and partook of his dinner with his-usual appetite. In the evening he complained of being rather unwell, and retired at an early hour to bed. Mrs. Love soon followed him to the bed-room, when he complained of an oppression upon his chest, and expressed his apprehension that he had taken cold ; upon which Mrs. Love thinking it would prove of service in such a case, had a bath of warm. water instantly provided for his feet. The operation, however, had not been gone through before he fell from the chair in which he was seated. and never afterwards spoke. Medical aid was instantly provided, but their skill proved of no avail—the vita! spark was, alas ! extinguished for ever. His case was declared by the Faculty as an overflow of blood to the heart.—As a trades man, Mr. Love, for civility, attention, and truly respectful deportment of manners, shone conspi cuous amongst his numerous customers :—ilmongst his friends he was sincere, generous, and kind hearted—and as a husband and a father affec tionate, attentive, and indulgent. lie has left a widow and three daughters to mourn his loss. He was in. the 43d ye'ar of his agee. SINGULAR FANATICISM. [Frain the Salem ( Maesachusetts ) Gazette.] LYNN,DEC. 10. —The public have already heard much of the conduct of a few persons who were a year or two ago disowned by the Quaker Society, and prosecuted and punished for molesting - that Society. Some of those persons and their adherents have occasionally continued those disturbances. On the day of the late public thanksgiving, a young woman of this town, who had been disowned by that society to which she had from her youth belonged, attended the Quaker meeting in Salem, and attempted to:preach in such a man ner that she was removed from the meeting as a disturber. On the following Sabbath she attended the Quaker meeting at Lynn, when there was a funeral, and the corpse car ried into the meetinghouse; she came in late, in white apparel, on a cold day, and made her way into the Minister's gallery, pushing aside the person that attempted to stop her : after sitting a short time, she rose and spoke nearly thus:— " Behold the - Lamb of God"—a pause—" Be hold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world—behold the bride, the Lamb's wife —it is not because I prefer these high benches that you see me here, but my God bath sent me here to bear my testimony against the idolatrous worship that has of latter time been paid to these high benches." She called the attention of the people to her dress (which was gay and airy) and said it covered a pure spirit and clean heart. She was requested to sit clown,end paused; during the pause, a regular female minister of the society, who sat so as not to see her or know of her continuing standing, rose and began to preach : the young woman interrupted her by crying out, " Who art thou that darkenest counsel with words without knowledge, thou hypocrite ; how long will it be before this veil will be rent ?" She was then moved from the meeting, crying out" Hypocrites," &c. She refused to make any use of her limbs to walk, and when out, would not stand or sit, but laid prostrate on the step of the meeting house ; and when meeting was over, it was neces sary to remove her to make room for the people to pass out ; some, who took sides with her, and had gathered round, were also removed, to give opportunity to take the corpse to the grave.— She continued to lay as if helpless near the door, half an hour after the meeting was over : she was then taken in her passive state and carried by iinb a e n d d , i helpless, l h two persons in a chaise to the house of a fellow deciple, where she remained, lying speechlessstate te same as waspretended, dress she had worn at meeting, and so continued from that day (23d of November) to the 30th November : she spoke to no one and answered no one by words, but would reply to auestions by writing her answers on a slate : some of her answers are preserved : when asked whether, H ov she would ta k e f oo d, s h e wro t e , , can I want any- thing, that am feed ieg on angels I6nd ?" She wrote to one of How h er neighbours, that " her speech was taken away by wicked men, and would be heard no more, until it was heard in Heaven, praising God." alt has not been intimated that she was har dl y used by those who removed herd her friends acknowledge she was removed as easily as possible ; t h e wicked men" she complains erbeeraplorseenewbliinoar,efused to allow her to con " she sho -' u n ld ur d in i g e pro phesied that down of - another sun," and her adherents pro fesses con tinue Saturday, befor e b sire goinge fessed to put implicit faith in the awful predic tion, which spread like wild-fire through the town. On the morning of her " dying day" she sent a solemn message in writing to an acquaint ance, that, in " a few hours and this hand, which now pens this, will be cold in death, but the spirit which dictated it crowned with eternal life." The rumour that she was to die on that day had spread through the town, and excited a great but and genera! attention. She rose that morning, washed, and attired herself in what she termed her grave 'clothes, which had been previously prepared for her, and wrote that 44 she should die by the going down of the sun," and request. , ed after her Lath she should he lain out on a sofa, and be buried in a tomb, after being kept a number of days, so that all who wished might he admitted to see her. The whole town seemed to be in a commotion that day : the house was thronged by hundreds and hundreds of specta tors, who rushed from all parts to see the Won derful women ; chaises and foot passengers, some from a considerable distance, were going to and fro as at a training: all desired to be in at her last moments. Within a short time of the awful pe riod she had set for her flight from this world, she wrote, " you now behold the exit of one whose life has Leen devoted to the -good of souls, breathing this exhortation, Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, and good will to men!" Near that time she spoke, and audibly said, " My work is finished, and there is a crown laid up for me which I am going, to inherit :" and told her friends " not to mourn.for her early exit, for her body was to returnto dust, and her soul to him who gave it." Her friends were overwhelmed with tears and grief by this last solemn parting scene. She then threw herself back, and ap peared to gasp, as if dyieg, and remained in the same death-like posture, with closed eyes a till the night of Monday, when the corpse took a little wine, and soon after spoke—since which she has disappeared. Some say she went out of the top of the chimney. An inquest was held yesterday evening, be fore Mr. HIGGS, Deputy Coroner for Westmin.. ster, at the St. James Infirmary, Poland-street, Oxford-street, on the body of Mr. John Dutton Howell, aged thirty-eight, who died suddenly. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God."— Twenty-five pounds were offered by a sur geon to have the body handed over to him for dissection. It was effeminate in its appearance, the bones were remarkably small, and, to the eye of a common spectator, nothing extraordinary appeared ; yet, so laluable did it appear to the s urgeon, that the above enormous price was im mediately offered for it. We, know not whether tl►ose who have a claim to the body will consent. MR. WHITE. Whatever may be the suspicions regarding Probert, his attendance had not been required to answer any inquiries regarding the mysterious disappearance of Mr. itVErrE, late of the Quad rant, who never could be heard of after having received 6181. at the Board of Works, in Feb -1822, which sum it was known he was going to receive." Some further particulars have transpired, but none of them tending (however they may strengthen suspicions), to give decided informa-• tion as to what really became of Mr. White.— While Saunders (Mr. White's foreman) was making inquiries for 'his roaster at Liverpool, by means of placards, &c. it has already been stated that a man came and offered for 301. to produce Mr. White. That man, it seems, repre sented himself to come from the Moonies—a spe cies of agents well known in Liverpool, but no thing more was seen of the man, and at his quarters it was denied to Mr. Beard (Mr. W.'s brother-in-law), that any such offer had ever been made o n accoun t o f y the Moonie s . It is a remarkable circumstance, that Mr. White's cre ditors have learned, from certain. alleged criminal proceedings in Lancashire, soon afterwards. ; that John Thurtell (under another name) with some other recently equally notorious cha racters, figured away in Lancashire, about Liver-- pool, &c., in February, 1822 ! Soon after that period, too, a curious character entered a room in the Half-Moon public-house, near the County Fire-office (Mr. Barber Beaumont's), which room was set apart for tradesmen residing in the neighbourhood, and he there began to talk freely about Mr. White, and astounded the company by stating that Mr. W. was forcibly secreted in Liverpool. He entered into particulars, which corning to the ears of the creditors and friends, induced them to institute additional inquiries, but they led to no favourable result. Mr. Beard - (Mrs. White's brother), who admitted, in his communications with Sir Richard Birnie, that ho was, what the world termed " a man of play,'" is well known in the sporting, or " fancy," and gam- - bling circles ; but it is due to him to state, that (with such fashionable exceptions) his charac ter is in no way impeached or suspected. It was through his means the creditors learnt that Mr. % became known toProbert, the latter being concern ed in the discounting of some of Mr. W's. bills. Mr. 8., amongst other peculiarities, was an o f ficer in a notorious society called " The Wolves," notorious on account of the alleged furious manner in which they went to the theatres, particularly to Drury,. to support the fame and interests of a celebrated tragedian, their Captain and founder. The " Wolves" assembled at Finch's O. P. and P.S. and after the play and their performances, they* re-assembled, and had their " midnight howls" at the same place. The indignant voice of the public, on account of the real or supposed out rageous demeanou r of the " Wolves,". led to the prompt dissolution Of the unseemly association; which, whatever might be their motives for asso-. elating, carried their " good fellowship " to pier th e pu bli c 0 3. The Capt a i n di sso l v ed them,da e n s d p era tr lafterwardsength addressedlengths. such subject, stating the fact of the "..Wolves' having been exterminated, &c.

The actor alluded to most properly dis• solved the parties immediately after they had be come objects of suspicion ;—the " WoV Society,'" which had particular costume, buttons w ith wolves heads on thear, signs to be known by, &c. undoubtedly became what the Captain. and Founder never could have intended it to be.---' (Morning Herald.)
