TOL; LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning. Pvers Dec. 2 • • LTIIE PUBLIC LEDGEIta Though all' uncertainty has now ceased with respect to the evacuation of Spain, with the ex ception of five or six fortified places, yet the motive which has induced the French Govern ment to come to this important resolution, is still involved in considerable mystery. It is even a secret to most persons whether it has been adopted with or without the concurrence of the other Great Power's;. and, what is perhaps more strange, nothing has been suffered to transpire, by which the feelings of our own Cabinet onthe subject could be clearly ascertained. The French Papers, which have been prompt enough to com municate what they know of the matter, have, either from real ignorance or affected reserve, not undertaken to throw the least light upon either of these interesting points. It is true, the Elvile, with its usual flippancy, has repeatedly affirmed, that the most perfect good understanding exists on this occasion between France and the other Great . Powers. With the same claim to credit, it has more than once stated, that. it is merely the result of a deliberate and friendly arrange ment between the Spanish and French Courts, originating too with the former. With the last opinion appearances ,are certainly at variance ; and we find that the Royalist Opposition, through their organs, The Journal des Debuts, and the other Papers in their interests, so' , far from tracing it to a friendly feeling on the part of the French Gcverument, bluntly ascribe it to spleen ; whilst they never fail to represent it as'pregnant with danger to the tranquillity of Spain ) as well as the solidity of her present mis rule. But the real cause of the misunderstanding they-have left untouched, and we have, there fore, no other choice but to take up with the old and uncontradicted rumour, relative to a general amnesty and the capitulations. This explanation has, at least, the merit of agreeing with the cha racter of the French Monarch, and his love of at) honest popularity. [MORNING POST.] The Ki n g' of France continues to acquire and to deserve popularity. The manner in' which he confers favours is calculated to add greatly to their value. He lately visited the magnificent church of • St.. Genevieve (the ancient Pantheon) to examine the historical paintings with which iMr. Gros had been charged to decorate the inte rior of the dome. After having admired their effect and beauty, and paid a high' compliment to the genius.of the Artist, as he was about leaving the place lie suddenly addressed him in the fol lowing manner -- - 4 ; On coining here I called you Mr. CrOS ; permit me, at the moment of quitting . you, to address you as Baron Gros. My Keeper of the Seals has orders to prepare y e our title deeds. It is impossible to be more •pleased than am , viith this magnificent work. It ,is n monu ment which you have erected to France." .; By accounts from llavantudi to the Vid ult. we learn' tha I 60 late piraciwi laud been committed on that side of the Island. The United States' ship Hornet arrived at Havannah on the 16th of October; having on board the Sputtill General Torres, whose object was to be tried by a Court Martial. The political state of the island u— mained unsettled, and his Excellency the Captain General had given orders to the Captain of Ow Port to hand to him all the newspapers from the United States, to his perusal , previous being publicly circulated. of the Police' were active in bringing forward many of the disaffected for imprisonment. Large quantities of sugar for the Peninsula had been purchased, and the" prices were high. Th, new Tariff was to take effect on the Ist of Decem ber, and was much disliked, by the commercial interest. On all vessels touching at Havannah, even in distress, it was to he strictly enforced. At Matanzas the stock of sugar was small, and sus advance was anticipated.—Coffee was a mere drug in the market, and the new crop was very abundant. The brig Franklin arrived at Bevan. nah on the 4 22 d of October, having on board a part of the crew of the French.ship Uranfe, from Havre, bound there, which ship had been cap tured by a Colombian privateer, and sent into one of their ports.-(Md.) [THE TIMES.] The French papers of Monday are devoid of news, except of that domestic;and even doubtful character, which may be ranged under the heed of " gossip." One paragraph, indeed, recants with becoming gravity another of the memorabilia of Charles X. It states, that a certain anony mons Field-Marshal overheard a reply of his Majesty to M. de Corbiere, which, if authentic, is undoubtedly more creditable to the- King than to his Minister. To jUdge by what has transpired of that which has not,:. we Must as some that M. de Corbiere had: been reading King Charles that sort of lecture,. which Men in office not unfrequently, however foolishly, imagine it for their Own interest to impress upon the Mind of a Sovereign.. M. de Corbiere had, tis we may, conclude, been persuading his Majesty Charles X. that there was nothing but licentiousness and falsehood in the Newspapers and that, by consequence, it was his Ministes only who would address him in the accents Of 14alty and truth.—The King (reports this anonymous Field-Marshal) 'replied to the Minister of Interior as follows You ore perpetually " complaining of the Journals ; you cannot " retioncile yourself to the liberty of the " Press, anti yet that liberty is esSential.-L— -" M 1 brother did not, go out, but I dO I walk " about ; and see with My 'own eye 3 ;T must " know the truth. if 1 did not learn it timing!'

Henry IV. could not have spoken better, had Sully invited a re buke for arbitrary principles; nor do we despair of seeing published, some day or other, a collec tion of enlightened sentiments, under the title of Henri-ismes de Charles .X."—lf we may rely upon the general tenour of all accounts which arrive from Spain, the major part of the French troops are certainly about to leave that country. [BRITISH PRESS.] The condition of Ireland at this moment oc cupies the attention of the British public more fully than it has done, perhaps, at any .period since the Union. The attitude assumed by the Catholics has spread the greafest alarm amongst all classes of the Protestant population. The Catholic Association, which for some time conducted itself with moderation, and expressly confined its views to the question of emancipa tion, as it is called, has latterly avowed that it aims at ulterior objects. The repeal of the Union is one of these, without which it is declared the Catholics will not be satis fied. What other designs lurk behind, we may perhaps conjecture without difficulty. The con troversial meetings that have taken place between the Catholic and Protestant Clergy have still further exasperated the feelings of both. The former have held a tone towards the latter, which has too strongly resembled that of men who are on the point of obtaining power to si lence their adversaries. The clerical character has been ostentatiously denied to the Ministers of the Established Church, and their revenues have been so mentioned, and invidiously assailed, as to admit no doubt of the designs cherished by the Catholic priesthood. The natural conse quence of these proceedings is, that the whole island is in , a state of extraordinary irritation. The Catholic Association speaks the voice, and represents the feelings, of the Catholics of Ire land as effectually and dangerously as it could if it were formally delegated for that purpose. The Catholic Rent is forwarded weekly to Dublin. The Priests accompany the collectors in their rounds, and exhort—that is to say, coin- Mond, their' flocks to pay their respective con tributions. The Catholics are firmly united ; they 'feel their strength growing and consoli dating every hour ; and, in the confidence of success, they hesitate not already to resort to the Mogi - loge of menace and intimidation. And what period, of all others, have the infatuated leathers of the Catholics chosen for this daring and un seemly display ? At .the very mamma when course of healing and conciliatory men. sures was gradually producing all the results which the best friends and warmest patriots of Ireland could desire. The benevolence of the English people had just relieved the distress of the Irish peasantry, whose gratitude, ever fore most among their national virtues, had rendered them peculiarly susceptible of kiedly feelings towards their generous benefactors and fellow. subjects of England. The parting admonition of his Majesty had become the rule of Irish affairs. Under the able,vigorous, and impartial a tiministra (ion of the Marquis Wellesley, the abuses of the police were reformed, and the equal empire of the law established over all the King's subjects. The tranquillity of the country was reatorett, and the superabundant capital of England was begin- Mg to animate the industry of the numerous popu lation of the Sister Kingdom. Already she en. ,toyed the benefits of this liberal policy, and still brighter prospects were opening upon her, which now, unhappily, we fear, are no more. The rest. less spirit of then demagogues who have marred her fortunes, has precipitated her into a situation, in which, by it•isting upon what she ought not to ask, she unavoidably compels the Legislature, if not to retrace its steps, at least to refuse all further concessions. [New TIMES.] The private letters of Monday's date, received yesterday from Parih, state, that the public at. tention is principally engaged with speculations on the forthcoming Budget ; respecting the for mation of vt Lich so many Cabinet Councils have been receutly held. Report says, that considera ble retrenchments will be made in the different branches of the Public Expenditure, and that the King of France will set the example by a volun rtry diminution of the charges.on his Civil List.— The Reines closed at 100 f. 75c. for the Account. Letters by the Turkey Mail were delivered yes terday, from Constantinople of the 25th, and Smyrna of the 19th ult. They convey no addi tional intelligence respecting the Greeks, but mention that the accounts of their successes which have appeared in most of the Continental Journals are greatly exaggerated. By the Ja maica Packet letters were yesterday received from Colombia of a few days later date than the former arrival, but they are chiefly filled with details Of the affairs between Bolivar and Can. tem ; and in other respects are of little interest. Little variation tool", place in the Funds yester. day ; Consols opened at 9.5 i, advanced to 951, and closed at the opening price for the Account. The intelligence which transpired yesterday from South America being of little importance, the va riation in' the prices of the Securities was, not to any extent. Mexican 4onds,opened'at tiGu , and closed at 66i. Colombian Bonds 84. In the European Securities, the business which took place produced un advance in the prices corn pared with those of thei preceding day.

CMOUNING lALALD.] We should thhll: that the lirincipa I cause for the late heaviness ill Ow f ids arose from the increased price .01 pro 6, imrs - 'and other corn— nioditips, well as the increa! e d price o f land. Tlwse things will nature Ilyaalgorli a mud, greater quantity of medium when at a high price than when at.a low price; and it has been said that the high or the low price of Stocks depended on whether medium was plenty or the contrary. If provisions, goods, and land be very low in price, the presumption is, that they require a much less quantity of medium to ea iry on die daily transactions in them than when they are high. A lowness of price would, therefore, cause medium to abound, and such abundance pro. lushly found its %Ay of late years into the Stocks ; but whets the turn takes place, a scar city of medium also takes place, when it is probable that people sell their stock to supply such deficiency ; and, in such a reversed state of things—there being probably more sellers than purchasers, Stocks tumble, and the surplus me dium which upheld them finds its way back again into speculations of a different description.-- "his is a subject that, we never remember hay- Thg seen handled. We would recommend Mr. Tooke—who has written by far the best treatises of any we have seen, on the rise and fall of provi sions, land, funds, &c.—to produce a pamphlet on this subject. When we read of wheat being at BUs. the quarter, instead of 50s.—of meat at Bd. a lb. instead of sd.—of hops at 120 s. instead of 60s.—of land fetching 40 years' purchase, in stead of 25 years' purchase—and of ruost, things of daily consumption, being greatly increased in price ;—and when we know that the' population remains the same, and that the daily consump tion remains the same ; and that the daily deal ing remains the same, in the number of loaves, sheep, oxen, and so forth —now, if the price for these things be advanced from 50 to 70 or 80 per cent. we conclude that such. an increased price for the same quantity of goods vended, will require a proportionately increased quantity of medium to carry on the commerce in the same. The next question is, whore is this increased quantity of medium to come from. ? We would say, in all likelihood, from the Funds; inasmuch as if, as was some time since asserted, a large amount of surplus medium got into them,and enhanced their price, arising from the stagnation of commerce, the same is liable to goont of them again when commerce has resumed its tone. If we are right in our conclusions, then, in proportion as realities advance in price, so will Stocks dimi nish in value, till the time again arrives when, as WP have before seen, speculation gets up realities beyond a fair average price, and they fall in their turn, and the funded article is again the fashionable speculation. ,We should much like that Mr. Tooke exercised his ingenuity and research in this matter. lie followed us in demonstrating that Mr. Cob bett was wrong in asserting that the low price of things arose from the passing of Mr. now thrown i out to Mr. Tooke, he may, in all probability, make nn interesting pamphlet of. If, however, he enters upon the subject, it would be but fair for him to say that he is indebted torus for the hint. In his work, Combatting the as sumption of Mr. Cobbett, as to the effect of Mr. Peel's. Bill, he omitt e d mentioning that h e was indebted to us for that idea. DuottNtNa cultoNictc.l The 44 Report of Cppitnitments• under the Vag rant Laws' .has surpassed our expectation.- We were prepared for much curious matter, but the volunie before us presents in its details a satire on our enviable and admirable institutions that was frenrcely to be rooked for in a grave Parliamentary document. The confounding of misery with delinquency, which is one of the g l ar i n g vices of the Vagrant Laws, is exem plified in numberless instances in this Report, an d persons uninstructed in the ethics of the Statutes will he surprised to find many circumstances charged against unfortunate indivi duals, and punished as offences, which are ordi narily regarded as only indicative of the most extreme and pitiable wretchedness. A state of utter destitution, according to the Vagrant Laws, goes far towards substantiating a crime, and if a man be houseless and pennyless, every action of his life is an offence punishable with imprisonment and hard labour, provided a Magistrate can but surmise a bad intent. The French glorify them. selves for having invented five hundred ways of dressing so simple a thing as an egg, and our Legislators may boast their ingenuity in.hay. ing discovered five hundred ways of putting a pauper in gaol. The. Returns before us present a sort of Magisterial receipt-book, in which the cutious may consult the various modes of dealing with one convicted. of poverty, and it will be found that many indifferent circumstances or ex yediesits•of necessity incidental to a poor man's life, and innocent in themselves, are, by the aid of a presumption of bad intent, converted into offences, and punished accordingly—" Quidquid agunt /canines nostri forrugo libelli."—We ob serve, indeed, that a vast proportion of the com mitments are for the crime of sleeping in the open air; an atrocious practice to which people who have no roof under which to lay their heeds are particularly addicted. There is nothing that the Vagran,t Law seems to abominate more than sleeping in the open air, Which is, in truth,tto overt act of poverty ; resting in out-houses, barns, sheds, or carts is also considered as criminal, and punished. 4itiCe`q - trirAierity. So nice is the law indeed in this -pn rticular, that we find an, airy nap of one' hour punished vr,; imprisonment; or as, however, there is : no oppare""" cal ""ce injury to society in sleeping In the open air,we must conclude the crime consist s in the miser y which thatmethod of passing Oeoight would argue. .. _ About sixteen days back, three poor men, by name Consols, Mann, and Aldous, set out from Wells in an open boat, with the intention of going to Yarmouth for herrings ; "the weather being so boisterous, they could not gain the port, and they were driven about from place to place for 14 days, with little or ' nothing to support life : on Tuesday night last poor Aldous died, a nd on the morning following the oth er two nr . .

A long list Of goods was advertised to be sold at Montreal on the 26th inst., condemned as forfeited for illegal importation. This list exhibits pretty . nearly, we should suppose, the articles usually smuggled into Lower Canada from the United States. The Upper Canada list must be much more extensive, extend ing to a variety of English and other European goods, and many articles of AMerican manufacture. Two persons' haVi lately lost their lives in Upper Canada, in connexion with the execution of the Revenue Laws, but it is believed that few seizures of consequence are made. •In the frontier TownihipS in Lower Canada some ill-huMour has already :shown itself between some of the people about the lines and the Custom House Officers. The following are the chief articles. of the Custom House sale' at Montreal, on the 27th inst. ; Tea, potash, horses, waggons and harness, black levantines, silk, lustrings, satins, gros de Naples, Sarsnet-s, Canton crapes, silk handkerchiefs, ribbons, silk galloons, • sewing silks, crape shawls, gauze handkerchiefs, silk velvet, stockings, silk gloves, silk shawls, satin shoes, silk scarfs, crape handerchiefs, silk Persian cambrics, kid gloves, mourning crape, watch ribbons, green gauze, Leghorn bonnets and hats, ladies and gentle- . mens' and boys' shoes, Morocco skins, Havanna segars, snuff boxes, ladies combs, soap, tobacco, made pens, French liqueurs, &c. The articles appFired to be chiefly India and French goOds, and* few of American manufacture. His Majesty's brig Icarus, which was long expected arrived on Tuesday morning from Jamaica via. the Havanna and Ber muda? wits 265,000 dollars in specie, for the Military Govern ment in the Canadas. The new ship ttaway, the vessel which takes the place of the St. Lawrence in the London'trade, arrived on the same day in a passage of 38 days from the Downs—she left land on the -22 d of September last. The Ottawa is handsomely fitted' up, and has accommoda tions for. upwards of twenty. cabin passengers. Her cabin - is to undergo considerable alterations during next winter, and when finished, will, it is thought, be equalto that of any other vessel trading to this port. She is said to sail well, having been 'only ten days from land to land. The brigs Niagara., Sarah, William' Park, and Veronica, all vessels of a superior class, and at present intended, we believe,' as regular traders, have been' launched at Montreal within a fortnight past, .making 6 vessels built at that port and sent to sea this season. The number built in the same period at Quebec, including the Columbus, is 16, making in the whole 22. It is thought that about 15 will haVe been placed on the' stacki at Quebec or its neighbourhood in the early part of this winter ; of that number two are now laid down at Caprouge' River, 9 miles move this city, at the very extensive timber 'establishment lately formed thereby' Mr. Atkinson, merchant, 'of this city. A subscription has been commenced in Montreal, for the puipose of ascertaining, by an experiment, the practittability of ascending the rapids of the St. Lawrence, between Montical and Kingston, by means similar to those now in operation on some of the navigable rivers of the United States. %Ve under stand that vessels not draiving,more than the depth of water in the rapids of these rivers, are' towed up by boats constructed with paddle wheels, which are turned by the descending cur rent, and wind round a windlass a rope or other fastening, one end of which is fixed at the head of the current ; in this way obtaining from the current a power against itself which can be, increased to any. extent within the limits of the strength of the materials employed. The St. Lawrence is already for the purpose of descending navigation, a cheaper channel of con veyance than a canal,. and if it can be made as advantageous as a canal for ascending navigation, no artificial water conveyance will ever be able to compete with ir. • The proposed experiment will not cost much, and at Brat aiglit, it appears sufficiently. reasonable to be worth a trial. I'OllK, (U. C.) SEPT. 30.—The Editors of Pap= in the Lower Province make mention of the ,building of only one steam-bent to ply between this town and Niagara. It ought to be known that there are two boats for that purpose, one at York and the other at Niagara ; and that it is proposed they shall sail at a certain hour from each aide of the water alter nately, and every day during the season, so that travellers, and persons on business, may calculate-the time they may have to spare for each place with the Utmost nicety. His Excellency Sir Peregrine Maitland arrived here on Saturs clay last from Lower Canada. Yesterday at nine o'clock his Excellency reviewed the 37th Regiment on Point Frederick, and today, we are informed, he will proceed to York in the Frontenac.—(Kingston Herald, Oct. 5.) ' IMPROVEMENTS ON THE. OTTAWA RIVER.—One of the strongest proofs of the increasing prosperity, and consequently one of the most gratifying spectacles to the eye of a traveller, is the improvement of the modes of conveyance, through any strikingcoiintry c o h r ai li g i e s t f ri o c r t o w l e h e b r e e tt e h r e our in ot l i i s i" re . slL e t d o u i r n i e n r g ye a d la a te v e e x ry . cursion up the Ottawa river, a portion of these Provinces, which from its immense natural resource, and its great sus ceptibility .the e s e v P h e l le n of i c i e s bfiente cteerptkinb o il wn. i o f B in l ro ve v r e y m f e .e n w t , y o e u ars ght p t a o s country was wild forest—when t oe " red son of the forest'' maintained a constant warfare with wild beasts—and who to gether formed the only tenants of the soil. A jeorney.thither was an undertaking, if not attended with danger, full of difii culty, and subjected the traveller to unavoidable delays, and inconvenience, at almost every point. These seem now changed by the exertions of a few spirited individuals; the means of conveyance, and the accommodations are such as render it a tour of pleasure. An excellent stage fr o ze Montreal takes the traveller to St. Andrews , a distance of -f5 miles—(and even this part of the rout, we understand, is to be soon improved, by a steam boat which is intended to ply from Lachine to Point ortune,) at the former place the traveller is received in a very comfortable Inn, kept by. a Mr. Russel, and where the accomo.

The effects of this improved conveyance by this route is be-: coming rapidly more .visible in the aspect of the country.—, Settlers and farmerS are establishing themselves on both sides of the river, with. a rapidity whielt promises (were other ob stacles from improper grants of land talked) to make the banks of the Ottawa in a few years as well cultivated as those of tile.
