i HE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Pcvers, June 29. [MORNING POST.] French Papers, to the '2Bth instant, reached s last night by Express. The Dade of Sun day, in the absence of political news, is filled with a most ridiculous article, the o bject of wor which ds is, to prove that white is black, ,in other , that when Mr. Secretary Canning declares that England is now at liberty to recognize the inde pendence of the South American States without Inrther notice of Spain, and only wants to do so until she has received the Reports of her Corn. missioners, he " offers a mediation between the Mother Country, and her transmarine posses sions," and means to prepare the world for the important concession " that the imme diate interest of commerce, as %veil Eng lish as of other narions, is, that the Spanish colonies- should return to submission to the Peninsula." I.! It is evident from this gross perversion of truth, that the candid and dis tinct declarations made by the Right lion. Se cretary of the intentions of his Majesty's Go vernment respecting the recognition of South American independence, have produced great alarm amongst politicians of a certain class in France, and that the only mode in which they hope to diminish their effect, is unblushingly to deny that ,they have been made. They will, however, have some trouble in persuading the French public that this is the case, for the declarations of the Earl of Liverpool on the day before the close of the Session, leave no possibility of doubt on that subject. The. Noble Earl did not argue on the recognition of South American independence as a point under consideration, but as.one already settled de facto, and which wanted only " the completion of forms." The event which the Elate is most anxious to prevent has therefore taken place, and as far as the recognition of England is concerned, the Spanish American States stand in the situation of Monarchs in possession of all the rights of Sovereignty, but whose accession to the Throne 13 of too late a date to have allowed time for their coronation. [NEW TIMES.] The _Dale, dated on Sunday morning,has come to our hands. The Rentes are improving in price ; they left off on Saturday at 103 f. 200. for money, and 103 f. 40c. for account. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, M. de Frenilly presented the Report owl that part of the Budget which relates to the expenditure. — The Report appears to have been carefully drawn up, and did not merely confine itself to detail, but suggested certain principles of clear ness and classification fur the future arrange ment of the national accounts. It is pro bable that some sharp debates will yet take place on certain articles in the expendi ture ; and the late War Minister, the Duke De Bellune, has already prepared for the contest by Circulating among the Peers a pamphlet in de fence of his administration. Private letters by this conveyance assert that the project for the reduction of the National Debt was entirely abandoned for the present Session. Some ex pectation was entertained that a new Loan would be raised ; but although this rumour obtained credence on the Exchange, no particulars respect ing it could be ascertained. The Etoile contains a long article, not very conclusive in its reasoning, on the affairs of South America. Our cotempo rary, The Courier, as usual, ridicules the specu lations of the French Journalist, who on the other hand indulges in sarcastic reflections on the erro n e ous information of The Courier. In the London article of the 23d instant, contained in the Etoile of the 26th, it is said, " The Courier announced yesterday that his Majesty would not prorogue the Parliament in person ; The Sun to-day affirms the contrary." Hereupon the Editor of the Etoile remarks—" We think we may give it as certain that the King will close the. Session in person." [THE TIMES., According to private letters of Saturday from Paris, which were received yesterday by express, it would appear that the French Cabinet is to consist for some time to come of one member less than it has hitherto done, it being the intention of de Villele to retain in his own hands the porlefuille of Foreign Affairs, in _addition to the functions he exercised before the dismissal of M. Chateaubriand. This statement rests on the best information from Paris, and, if correct, at once puts an end to all speculations respecting the probable successor of that Minister. It is confirm ed, indeed,in part, by the mere delay in making a new nomination, although that has been explained - by some on the supposition that the state of the King's health is so unfavourable as to render him incapable of attending at present to an affair of this nature. It is generally believed to be the intention of M.de Villele, should he continue in office, to abandon all measures for the reduction of the .French debt, at least for the present Ses sion, and probably till he thick himsel ;placed d beyond the possibility o f a second failu re might prove fatal to him. [MORNING HERALD.] Saturday's Paris Papers arrived last night. They are chiefly taken up with the proceedings before the Royal Court in the affair of the Jour nal called the Quotidienne. From the circum stances in which this dispute originated, it caused an extraordinary sensation, and the Court was crowded with persons of rank of all parties. It g rew out of the removal of M. Chateaubriand from t h e Ministry,wilich produced a schism among the ..Royalists. The fact s were shortly these : —Th e Minister i M. de V illele, wishingto silence the J o urnals, instead of using more v i o l en t means , the equally adopted effective t expe d ient o f b uy i ng ..them. The e x penmen was succes s f u lly tried, among others upon the Quotidien t 0 the ne • • This was antecedent and prepara tor y (l.ismissai of M. Chateaubriand, upon which event . the Proprietors other to divided, one party adhering to him—the M. de Villele. Each claimed to be the rightful owners, but the party of the Minister having the gens d'armes as their auxiliaries, ousted their op ponents. The latter still maintained their right, and in consequence two Quotidiennes—one for Villele and the other for Chateaubriand, made their appearance. The friends of the Minister,how ever, had again the advantage, for with the help of the friends the gens d'armes, they strangled the rival journal, and remained masters of the field. AI. Michaud, the leader of the dis comfited party, appealed to the tribunal, and after a long hearing obtained a complete triumph. This trial not only exposes the outrageous in justice of the Minister in dispossessing the pro prietor, but covers him with shame and ridicule. The Advocate who supported the interests of the complainant was frequently applauded by the auditory, and the decision was received with ac clamation. The successful party returned in tri umph to the bureau, whence he had been forcibly ejected—quietly resumed possession—his oppo nents having sneaked off, and the Quotidienne of Saturday appeared accordingly under new au spices. This is not the only defeat. The Mi nister seized and suppressed on the first day of its appearance a Journal set up by the schismatic Royalists in opposition to him. The proprietor ap pealed to the tribunals,and he too has completely succeeded. Such was the effect of these defeats, that a Cabinet Council is stated to have been held on the subject. This may seem a little bur lesque; but that which would hardly excite a buzz in London will raise a storm at Paris. It was said of the old French Monarchy, that it was controlled 44 by songs "—not by law. There is still a third dispute of the same kind ; for the French Minister seems to have declared war against the Journals en masse. The question is, the suspension or suppression of the Courier Fran cais for its spirit and tendency. A third defeat would complete the disgrace of the Al inis ter. There are some accounts in these papers from Greece, which represent the cause of the Independents as going on prosperously. A private letter from Missolonghi gives some further particulars of the lamented death of Lord Byron, and the honours rendered to the memory of that illustrious No bleman by the Greek nation, throughout which there appears to have prevailed an enthusiastic admiration of his genius and character. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The following is an extract of a very interes ing letter, dated in Smyrna, on the 16th of May —" You will have known long ago that the Cap tain Pacha is in the Arches,—what he is going to do is carefully locked up in his own wise head, — there is a report that he has attacked a small de fenceless island called Skiatho,—we don't think he will land troops, or make much havoc in the Morea.—The Pacha of Egypt's armament is more likely to prove itself formidable. They say he is making great preparations to assist his Sove reign in the recovery of Greece ; he is a man of great abilities, and capable of achieving great actions. There has been Et. vast number of troops passing through Smyrna and the neigh bourhood to join the fleet : these lawless bodies of men spread a degree of terror where ever they go ; our Pacha, however, who is a powerful man, managed to preserve good order in the city, and cleared it of their company as soon as possible. Very few excesses were com mitted ; some few Greeks were killed, accounts vary as to number; some say as many as twelve, but I believe about half the number is near the truth. Our Pacha sent these fellows to a small town across the Bey, called Menemhen, on their way to Fogio; here they commenced a horrid massacre of the Greeks, and 'tis said they slew above a hundred of them at Pergamas ; they have committed great outrages. In about another fortnight we hope to be quite clear of these scoundrels, until then one cannot, with perfect safety, go backwards and forwards to Buonabat and other villages, although some of us do it. Yet the Nery prudent remain in town for the present; however, I think most Turks will hesitate before they fire upon a Frank ; at the worst of times they dared not do it, and the present are times of tranquillity com paratively ; indeed, they are really tranquil in Smyrna, for I have not seen or heard of a deca pitation since that of the Jew which I related to you.—Of the Algerines you know more than we do, —we have not heard that they have done any mischief to our shipping, none of the vessels come up with convoy, and no regular convoy is appointed to conduct the ships up the Mediter ranean. We have had but little of the company of British men of war lately, and although the trade of Smyrna with England is so extensive, we have no ship constantly here, and sometimes are, for weeks together, without even a visit from one ; whilst the French, whose commerce is far less valuable, have always a strong force up here : they have now eight ships of war in the 13ay, two of which are large frigates. The Austrians have two frigates, and the Dutch one frigate. I n these hazardous times, I think the Levant Com pany might induce the Government to place a ship somewhere within reach, that we might consi der our castle ; as it is a pleasant thing to have a safe place of retreat." If any argument was wanting to prove that peace betwixt the Turks and Greeks was impossible, the contents of this letter are sufficient, for these scenes in Smyrna and the district Sarichan furnish sufficient proof that independence or butchery is the only fate which awaits the Christian population of the pre sent 'Turkish empire. The quantum of protec tion which the British fleet can at present afford to British subjects at Smyrna, affords also no very consolatory commentary on the correc tness of a speech latelydeliver e d i n th e House of Corn ci sol a tory mommon s, wherein it was asserted by his Ma jesty's foreign Secretary, that, in no part of the world was the British fleet not superior to that of France. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Dale of Sunday contains an article on the subject of South America, the object of which is to shew that, finally, the English Cabinet will display " its love of order and legitimacy," by taking part with Spain tgainst her revolted Colo nies. The facts and the arguments of this essay are worthy of each other. It begins, with great self-complacency, by referring to what it said a month ago, as to.the impossibility of England ac knowledging the independence of South America, " on account," as the veracious journalist states, "of the defeat of Bolivar in Peru, the anarchy every where prevailing, and the ridicule with which England would be covered, if, at the time of her recognition, Spain, as it is probable, should re sume possession of her ancient Colonies, and bring them again under her rule." If, indeed, these things should happen, and if, also, the other facts had happened, the English Cabinet might appear ridiculous to recognize as indepen dent, Powers so easily subverted by an enfeebled, despised bankrupt, and hated Government, un able to maintain its authority even at home, without the assistance of an immense foreign force. But unhappily for the predictions of this ultra legitimate, the facts upon which he bottoms his reasoning having no foundation but in his own distempered imagination. When Bolivar is defeated, and anarchy—that is to say, the anarchical despotism.of the old Spanish sway— shall be every where prevailing, it will be time enough for those whose eye-balls are seared at the growing prospects of English power and prosperity, to sing their /o Triumphe. The Etoile, however, sees that 4C Mr. Canning is following the same course with regard to the Americans as he did with regard to Spain ; at first menaces, then counsels, at last mediation." Is it so really, or is this also a mistake of the French scribe ? In the case of Spain, his Majesty's Government declared explicitly and peremptorily from the first, that come what might, they would preserve a course of strict neutrality. But just as explicitly and as peremptorily his Majesty's Government have declared, that any interposition in the affairs of South America, by any Power but Spain her self, will be met by their immediate acknowledg ment of the independence of South America. If, indeed, Spain unassisted can 44 catch Bolivar and hang him," as the Etoile affects to sup pose it " probable " she may do, Spain has clearly a right to do so, and England will not interfere to prevent her ; but before Spain can make the attempt she must either beg or borrow money to fit out the expedition, and she must entrust arms in the hands of her native sub jects. England has advised Spain, for her own sake, to acknowledge the sovereignty of her late colonies; but his Majesty's Government has ac companied even that advice with the distinct announcement, that if Spain continue blind to her own interests and the duty she owes to her allies, their discretion will not be indefinitely bound up by her absurd and hopeless obstinacy. The whole article in the Etoile is such an umningled tissue of _folly and falsehood, that we should not deign to bestow a notice upon it, if we were not aware that dull and contemptible as it is, it speaks faithfully the sentiments of the ultra royalist party of the Bourbon monar chies, and indicates the actual disposition of the ruling authorities, which they would manifest by deeds if they dared. We can have no more certain proof that the King's Ministers treat this " as a purely British question," than in the senseless abuse thus poured forth in the disappointed rage of defeated malice against Mr. Canning. Long may he earn such re proaches ! We have only to dread that he should ever merit the praises of those who have esta blished " order and legitimacy" in wretched and desolated Spain. FOR. THE SUN. VALUE OF LIFE. „- MR. EDITOR—The increased value of life in England and Wales, at the present period, com pared to what it was in the middle of the last century, is strikingly exemplified in the follow ing statement of Mr. KIRKMAN. The popula tion of England and Wales was as follows :-- . In 1700... 5,475,000 In 1750... 6,41;7,000 In 1770... 7,428,000 in 1801... 0,168,000 and a mortality of I in 44.8. In 1811...10,438,000 - lin 48.7. In 1821...11,977,883 - lin .57. From the above statement, it appears, there fore, that the population has been rapidly on the increase, and that the mortality has no leSs ra pidly diminished. It seems, that the present po pulation of England is seven times greater than it is supposed to have been from the 11th to the 14th century. But since this latter period it has increased with still more rapidity. It is now three times what it was about the close of the 17th century, and within the last 70 years it has nearly doubled itself. The gratification that must be naturally derived by this proof of the increase of the national importance of the country is .greatly increased by the pleasing cer tainty that the rate of mortality has diminished nearly one-third within the last fifty years ! This truly considerable increase in the .value of life has been, with much truth, attributed to the more ample supply of food, of fuel, and of clothing, to a greater degree of cleanliness among the lower orders of society, as well as to a bet ter ventilation of the hovelling houses occupied by almost every class of the community. To these , efficient causes must be a dded, without doubt, the diminished nature of some diseases, andonore especially, the immense saving of life occasioned by the introduction of vaccination. A. P. . CLERICAL P ROMOTIO N•—TIIP Rev. H ENRY LAW, son of the. Bishop of BATH and WELLS, to the Arch deaconry of Richmond, in the diocese of Chester ; and to the Rectory of West Camel!, in the diocese of Bath and Wells. UNNATunAt. MOTilEtt.—Wednesday last, a w oman with a ma l e c hild , a pp a rently about two months old, ca me to this city as a passenger by Russells waggon, from Ash burton, and procured a lodging at a house in Sun-lane, remain. ing there till Friday afternoon about four o'clock, when she de camped, leaving the child in bed. The people of the house had not learnt her name, or business in Exeter, but, from a stro ng provincial di a l ect , supposed her to he a native of Corn wall; on inquiry, at Russell's warehouse, she was found to be s imply entered on the way-bill as " a woman passenger."— On Saturday, information of these circumstances was given to the Corporation of the Poor, when Smallridge, their active and indefatigable Beadle, was put on the alert, and, though in the first instance without the least clue by which to trace her, so successful h as b een his exertions, that she was apiTe hended yesterday by the police-officers of Devonport, to whom, for their promptitude, great praise is due. We understand the unnatural mother will be brought before our Magistrates for examination to-morrow.—( Exeter Flying Post, June 24.) THE ROBBERY AT EARL COWPER'S. MANsioN-HousE.— A man e named Barnard Solomona, appeared before the LORD MAYOR, to answer a charge preferred against him on suspicion of being the person who uttered a number of the notes, of which Mr. Baines, the steward of Earl Cowper, was robbed. At an examination at the prison of Hertford, before the Rev. T. LLOYD, a few days ago, when Dudfield, of Shire lane, was brought up on suspicion of having received the stolen notes, it was stated, that on the 9th of June his Lordship's' tenants had paid into the hands of the bailiff rent to a consider able amount, partly in 5/. and 10/. Bank of England notes, and partly in local notes. Those notes were marked by a Mr. Johnson, who accompanied the bailiff in collecting the rents, and placed in a chest with a quantity of clothes over them. Three banking-houses at Cambridge proved, that on the 11th inst. they received a number of the stolen notes from a man who called and asked the cashiers for Buckinghamshire notes, as he said he was going into that county to purchase lace.— They had no Buckinghamshire notes ; the person then said he should like their own notes, which he accordingly had, leaving with them the notes, which were easily identified as the stolen property. The bankers have the numbers of the Cambridge notes, and will of course be able to ascertain whether or not those which were found upon Dudfield are of that number.— The examination was postponed, the notes in question not hav ing arrived from London. The whole enterprise, it appeared, had been so concerted, that several agents were in the morning after the robbery at different parts of the country changing the stolen notes. Hesketh, an active officer of the police, stated, that in conse quence of a description given to him by Mr. Fisher of one of the Cambridge banking houses, of the person who had uttered a part of the stolen notes, he suspected Solomons to be the man ; lie accordingly waited upon Solomons, whom lie knew, and took his word that he would appear at the Mansion House to answer any charge that might be preferred against him. Solomons attended accordingly. Mr. Brown, the Marshal, in order that there might be no error as to identity, directed him to go into the par. lour of a public-house where there were five or six other men. Mr. Fisher stated that he went into the room where the prisoner was sitting, and instantly perceived that he at least most strongly resembled the person who had uttered the stolen notes. So powerful was the resemblance, that he (witness) would have felt no hesitation about stopping Solomons in the street, under the impression that he was the utterer. The person who passed the notes had on Friday, 11 th inst. changed with the firm thirty-four 5/. notes for their notes, payable at Messrs. Currie and Co.'s, London, gave the name of " King," and said he lived at Swan ston in Lincolnshire. On the following day witness read the ac count of the robbery in the newspapers, when his memory was freshened with respect to the circumstance of the . man having presented the notes, which, from the account given, there was reason to believe were part of those which had been stolen,— There was a peculiarity about the lu;nds of the person who pre sented the notes ; they appeared to be gouty, and the person took up the notes with difficulty. There was, too, an indenta tion or remarkable hollowness on the wrist of one of his hands. Solomons bared his writs, which presented no remarkable appearance. Mr. Fisher said this circumstance alone unsettled his belief that the prisoner was the utterer. This evidence was considered in the Justice-room as very re markable, for Solomons is by no means a man of ordinary ap pearance, and has a mark across his under lip which is peculiar. Solomons said that Mr. Fisher had made a most grievous mistake, for he (Solomons) had never been out of the neigh bourhood in which he resided one day for several years. This he should be able to prove ; at all events lie could chew how he had been employed at the time he was supposed to have been uttering the notes. The Loan MAYOR was informed that there were two other persons who had seen the man who uttered the stolen notes, and he was requested to detain the prisoner in custody until they could be brought forward. The LORD Maxon said, that in a case like the present, where the offender had been in the first instance attentively examined, and when the person who so examined him felt so strong a doubt as to the identity that he hesitated to pronounce upon the subject, it would not at all be warrantable to send him to prison. Mr. Solomons was in all probability innocent of the charge, and to lock up a person under such circum stances in prison, even one day, was not to be done upon mere speculation. His Lordship said lie must have stronger evi dence before he could do such a thing. Solomons agreed to come forward when called upon, and was set at large upon this understanding. Mr. Brown stated that he wanted the services of several officers in this case, and yet he could not make use of them un der the new Police regulations. By these re g ulations, an his Lordship was aware, the officers were obliged to be present every hour at particular stations, and sign their names; nor could they absent themselves without entering on the books where they had been, and for what purpose. This rendered it impracticable for the officers to absent themselves in the pursuit of offenders without rendering great prejudice to the business they were about. The LORD Mavoit gave orders for the supply of officers, and directed that the object should not be stated in the book, but merely that the Lord Mayor so directed. EDINBURGH, JUNE 26. THE LATE FIRE. The fire which broke out at the Crops, on Thursday morning, as mentioned in our last, and which has been so destructive in its ravages, was got under by one o'clock afternoon. It has occasionally burst out, but from the promp titude and exertions of the firemen, it was always soon subdued. The ruins still continue to smoke, and an engine is in readiness to prevent the smothered embers from bursting forth. The destruction of property has been very great. The whole of that well known pile of building over the Piazzas, and one land in the Parliament Square , are in r uins. In the first land that suffered, occupied by a great number of families, we fear little, if any thing, was saved, and the upper stories being occu pied by the working class, these unfortunate persons have been deprived of their all, and many of them narrowly escaping with their lives, but without clothing. From the other premises much property was carried out, and depo sited under the new arcade in the Parliament-square and in the neighbourhood.—ln such a melancholy destruction of property it is gratifying to state, that we have not heard of any lives being lost; a town-officer of the name of Chalmers was severely scorched, but we understand not dangerously. One depraved wretch, in the form of a woman, at a time of such general sym pathy, decoyed a child into the passage leading to Sir W. Forbes, and Co.'s Bank, and was proceeding to strip it of its clothing, when the transaction was fortunately observed by the mother, and the miscreant handed over to the Police.—Mr. Sheriff Duff was on the spot at the commencement of the fire, and remained until one o'clock. During the whole time he was most unwearied in his exertions, and was at every point where danger was to be apprehended, lending his assistance, and giving directions. The worthy Sheriff narrowly escaped being injured by the falling of the front wall of the building in which the fire began. It was a most provi dential circumstance that this wall fell as it did inwards, for, had it been hurled into the street, the consequences must have been .dreadful. The activity and perseverance of Bailie Waugh were every where particularly conspicuous ; to him in a great measure may be attributed the safety of the tenement in which the Advertiser Publishing Office is situate. It was of the utmost importance to save this building, for had the flames, which at one time had communicated to several parts of the roof, not been extinguished, there is no saying where else in that direction their progress might have been checked. The Lord Provost, Bagies Allan and Blackwood, and several other Gentlemen, were extremely active, and a guard from the 65th regiment, with a fatigue party, gave most effective assistance, stimulated by their officers, who attended to every hint calculated to be of use. In the afternoon they were relieved by a dismounted detachment of the Royal Dragoons from Piershill. The extent of the calamity appeared to have over awed the populace, as little unnecessary noise or confusion prevailed,• the propriety of which was strikingly apparent.— We hear that a meeting is to be held on Monday, for the pur pose of making arrangements to obviate the waste of labour in future in the present management of fire engines. We were very glad to see the triple ladder used, the idea for which we believe was first suggested in a letter published in the Scots Magazine, for January, 1814, in consequence of the fire in Bishop's land in the year preceding. The melancholy conse quence of persons not insuring their property are but too evident on this disastrous occasion. The annual payment is a mere trifle, and one of our national establishments, it is observed, even repays to the insurer one-half of the profit realized sep tennially. We observe that the Company alluded to has gene rously given fifty gu ineas, and the Directors a guinea each, towards alleviating the distress of the poorer class of sufferers, in furtherance of which benevolent purpose a general subscrip tion has been commenced.—We understand that a considerable sum was collected yesterday at the door of the Parliament House for behoof of the poor sufferers. We were happy to observe, at the late destructive fire, that there was an ample supply of water, and but for which it is impossible to calculate the extent to which the raging element might have proceeded. The invaluable Library of the Fa culty of Advocates, the whole of the Courts, and Sir Wil liam Forbes and Co.'s Banking-house, would, in all probabi lity, have been consumed.—(Edinburgh Courant, June 26.)

The purchaser accom• panied her to the house of her husband, who, after having seen them within doors, locked them in, and gave them the key of the door through the window. A melancholy circumstance happened yester day morning in Kentish Town, owing to the carelessness of a poor boy, ‘s ho suddenly crossed the road at the tune when one of the stages was passing. The coachman could not, by any pose sibility, stop his horses time enough to prevent the coach from going over the body of the boy, who died shortly afterwards. It is much to be regretted that parents are not more particular in preventing their children from being in the road at a time when so many carriages and vehicles. are passing ; and it is wonderful more accidih.. 4 do. not occur. In this case no possible blame c::n be attached to the coachman, who was only goilig at the usual rate of the short stages. BIRTHS.
