LONDON JOURNALS, [D.II LY EXTR4CTS.] FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. [Morning- Post.] The late publication of Lord Jons RUSSELL is justly considered not only it very weak prodUc tion, but one in the highest degree irregular and Teprehensible. As the " illustrious" house of Russell, however, founded its wealth upon one innovation, it . May attempt to establish its repu tation for manners upon another. ,The puefile Vetition is plainly intended for general adoption; it is an addition to .the endeavours of Cobbett, Wooter; and others, for preventing the trial of the Queen. The Noble Lord says he (rives no opinion " upon the guilt or innocence of her Ma jesty," and yet he recommends his Sovereign to give up the whole point in dispute. There must be no light degree of self-complacency in one who t''an treat a sweeping demand of this sort as an invention for smoothing dilliculties. To effect a balance by throwing away the w.eights, would be a rouilt mode of setting the scales of Justice ; yet such is the sum and substance of Lord John Russell's plan ; and thus it is that be would show_ us the art of negociatiou " made easy to the nieanest capacity." The Queen is accused be fore Parliament by Messages from the King, and a part of the evidence is tendered to them. The House of Commons, moved in behalf of public morality, propose a compromise—a something like mutual concession. This expedient fails, and then the sapient Lord John, finding the wis-, dont of an immense majority of the House inef fectual, brings •in au adventure from his own Store, and his ingenuity suggests that a complete surrender of one of the parties shall be substi tuted for mutual concession or compromise!! If Mr. Wilberforce do not recommend this, the future historian is to inquire whether he did not '" want the inclination" to prevent harm. So Says one who would doubtless be thought a pre sent historian.—Thus peremptorily and flippantly is the virtuously laborious, the purely indepen dent, the truly good and benevolent Mr. Wil berforce, accosted by a young champion of the house of Russell, labouring to throw the shield of popularity round the spoils of ten Abbies or Priories, which should have been appropriated 'to purposes of public education or of some other charity, while he indirectly favours the views of those who avail themselves of the unhappy dif ferences in the Royal Family ) to effect a dread ful Revolution in the State. [Morning Chronicle.] It is not in Europe only . that disturbance threatens to spread itself. Scarce a day rises without bringing us the account of some new in surrection. Our advices from the West Indies inform us, that St. Domingo is menaced with all the horrors of civil war. Sir Home Popham ex erted himself with great address and energy to bring about an amicable reconciliation between king Henry and Mr. President Boyer, but in vain. The hostility between the Monarchical an-1 Republican partisans of Hayti is implaca ble. ,The latter consider the former as in a state of abject slavery ; and we have a letter, in which it is said, that a general union might be speedily elfc...cted, if the Northern Chief would conquer the unhappy idea that he entertains, that he alone is capable of ruling or entitled to rule over the Hay teans ; but this idea he never will surrender but to force, and the attempt will speedily be made. The Republican force under Boyer amounts to 35,000 men, not indeed well clothed, nor uniformly armed, but all animated by the notion, that they are about to rescue their fellow creatures from tyranny. Hostilities are expected to break out in the present month of August, and the war will be of the most horrible carnage.— Bat though Sir Home Popham failed in his anxious endeavours to reconcile the two Chiefs, and to prevent a civil war, he completely suc ceeded with both in his negociations for an ami cable understanding with this Country, by which no countenance should be given to runaway Ne groes, or to depredators, pirates, or deserters from any of our Islands. We cannot really bring ourselves to entertain tli:t idea that our Government has been endea vouring to foment disturbances in Spain ; and we are certain that such an endeavour would be loadly condemned by the - people of England.— But there are circumstances which certainly wear . a very suspicious look. In the , first place, a newspaper, supposed to have the confidence of 'Ministers, could not conceal the joy with which it was filled by, the, account of this disturbance, dignified by it with the title of Counter-Revolu lion. Then this said Counter-Revolution has Inade its appearance on the frontiers of Portugal; :and the Spaniards have always been looking to that quarter with great suspicion. It is hardly necessary for us to remind our readers, that the present Government of Portugal has for some 'time considered itself every thing but secure, and .that the proceedings at Cadiz filled it with ap prehensions of similar proceedings at Lisbon. — The Spaniards therefore became apprehensive in their turn that the Anglo-Portuguese Govern nr,ant would endeavour to prevent the success of the Liberals in Spain, in order to discourage all attempts at change in Portugal. Again it is said, .that all the Insurgents " were armed with excel lent English muskets." Now, though we dare say, from the number of muskets of English Ma nufacture, sent to the peninsula during the-war, a . great number must still remain. there, such a statement is, at all events, calctilated to strengthen the persuasion of a. connection between the I n _ ~surgentS and England.---(/bi4.),. The following is an Extract from the Letter of an enlightened Writer and.true Friend of Li berty in Friuce, which has been communicated to ns.— ‘.! PA.R ts, ---,—. • cc What can I say to you of our political affairs —they in spire me with the deepestdisgust Ffauce is a'rnbUtt, body, turerest wilb .

[Morning Herald.] It has been stated, either as matter of fact, of rumour, or of conjecture in most of the Papers, That the death of her late Royal Highness the Duchess of York would cause a further postpone ment of the proceedings against the Queen.. There is no reason for further postponement on this ac count, if, as we are informed, the funeral of her Royal Highness takes place on next Monday. The investigation then, we understand, will com mence on the 17th, as already fixed. But it is rumoured—for we, have nothing for it but ru mour—that a postponement of a few days will be moved, in order to give time for the meeting of the House of Commons in the interval. [British Press.] The interest of the Queen's trial increases with its approach. Ministers have commenced preparations for the accommodation of their Ita lian witnesses, although they had not time nor inclination to provide any for the reception of their Royal Mistress. The houses in Cotton garden occupied by Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, Mr. Ley,and other officers of the House of Lords, are the places appointed for the use of these foreign personages. The late occupants were obliged to turn out yesterday, and their quitting upon such _short notice produced no little bustle and confusion. Cotton-garden is situate at the rear of the west ern angle of the House of Lords, to which it is approached by a narrow passage from the, eas tern end of Abingdon-street. A situation more completely isolated from public approach, and more convenient for ingresS and egress to the interior of the House of Lords, cannot be con ceived. It has been therefore most judiciously chosen by Ministers for the seat of the Italian witnesses, and at the same time furnishes a com plete answer to that part of the argument against the Queen's request for a list of the wit nesses to be produced against her. Majesty, founded upon the danaer of exposing them, if known, to tampering and intimidation. Cotton garden is also the site of the newly-constructed kitchens, sculleries, and other edifices necessary for furnishing the grand dinner in Westminster Hall on the ensuing Coronation. These works were completed yesterday, and all further access to the scene is now entirely cut off. The long flagged passage from the western end of the House of Lords by which the Westminster Scholars have the privilege of access to their boats on the river, was also blocked up yesterday by order of Government. As soon as the new tenants begin to arrive, a strong guard will be placed at the entrance. [New Times.] The advises from Naples are to the 19th ult. Several Sicilian Gentlemen there had declined taking the oath to the new Constitution: Appre hensions were entertained 'that opposition would be made to it by the great:proprietors. of Sicily, who were attached to •the 'Constitution promul gated. under the authority •Of the British Govern ment, and founded partly on the ancient institu tions of the island and partly on those of Great Britain. A dispute has occurred between the Duchy of Oldenburg and the Free. Town of Bremen, and war, or as •the Frankfort Papers say,' " a kind - of war," has actually commenced between, them: It seems that the Duke of Ol denburg • had stationed an armed vessel. at the mouth of the Weser, for the purpose of visiting and, searching ships suspected of having touched at places infected by the plague. The people of Bremen would not submit to this assumption of authority, and some cannon shots have been ex changed between the Oldenburg ship and aguard ship belonging to -Bremen. Representations upon this subject have been made to the Diet of Frank fort. The Special Commission at Stirling closed on Friday, when 22 prisoners were sentenced to death. It is expected, however, that the Royal Mercy will be extended to 20 of them, and that Baird and Hardie only will suffer. Never was the invariable impartiality and even-handedness of the administration of our laws more strikingly displayed, than in the trials of these individuals for a crime, the magnitude of which surpasses that of every other, both in the eye of the law and of criSpOsiciiiAte reason: Vie Very (leniency which spares the lives of so many offenders) and the fairness of their trial render more striking the enormous criminality of t4ir • [ I'ews Pith :.] 41.,f" undkltAtid,. - ZINI auilwrity, tha her, Ma t 63 y ha`g"AdtiPths,MlStri ipdrltintNetttr l aLlte King.
