Mg; LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Jan. 6. .• [MORNING CIIRONICLE:] , latlrid letters of the 2.2 r& ult. mention that acknowledgment of the Constitutional Loans 1104 been completely laid aside, which shews Ikst ,nothing on that subject was expected to be tio4e. The Treasury is represented as being empty, but the demands upon it are not so pressing as it is expected they will be when the army,is organized, as then the payments to the troops must be regularly made. Other descrip tions of creditors are told they must have ptktience, and they go home perfectly resigned. This will not be the case when the military esta blishment is arranged and filled up. Sitme time ago, and before the commercial re lations between Great Britain and the Brazils were established on their present footing, a dis pUtefarose whether or not the clearance of Bri tish vessels, bound to the Brazils, required the signature of the Portuguese Consuls here. This dispute led to declaration on the part of the Emperor, by which he made known that the sig nature of the Portuguese Consul should be re quired in Brazilian ports, for the entry of any vessels arriving : there; and on this declaration reaching England, an order from the Treasury Wastransmitted 'to the Custom-house of London in . last August; ordering vessels to be, cleared for the Brazils, without the old formalities. A Correspondent inquires of us, whether a similar order from the Treasury has been transmitted to Liverpool, for it is understood that shippers tVere are still paying the fees to the Portuguese Consul, for clearance to the Brazils.—(ibid.) [THE TIMES.] . __ We have received Havannah Papers to the 24th of November. The unfortunate result of the war in Spain was then known ; and Ferdi nand's Proclamation, dated Cadiz, Sept. 30, was published in a supplement to the Government Journal of the 19th of November. A copy of that record of Royal . promise-breaking was brought to the Havannah by Colonel Don Jose de Ovando, who sailed from Gibraltar on the 34 of October. Except a Proclamation by the Governor Vives, announcing the arrival of Ovando from Spain, no step appears to have been publicly taken •in consequence of the intelligence from Spain. The Government Journal of the 23d of November still retained the Constitutional title. From an account of the proceedings of the Provincial Deputation, dated 140.•4, it appears that the Commander of Puerto Cabello had written to the Political Chief of the Havannah, explaining the distressed state of that tortresn, and earnestly soliciting assistance. The Provincial Deputation seems to have been in no haste to answer this call. The documents were ordered tr. be , referh.d.to the Commission of Fi nance, with a recommendation to consult with two ,ollicers sent by the Commandant of Puerto Cabello on what might be dune. The subject was afterwards, on the 12th, brought under the notic.o of another body—a kind of Chamber of Commerce, called the Coniulado Nacional— which approved a Report made by the Syndic oil a plan for the relief of the Colombian Gib ratter, proposed by the second in command of the naval force at the Havannah. A certified copy of this Report was ordered to be trans mitted to the Siperintendant-General of Finance. if isliingular enough, that while the authorities of tire: Havannah were thus proceeding with all the characteristic deliberation of Spaniards, p oef l o Cabello was taken by assault on the Bth of November. [MORNING POST :ii We received 7ait night, by Express, the Paris Journals of Saturday, and the Etoile of Sunday morning. They are generally barren. Accord ing to a letter froth Madrid (in the Quotithenne), dated the 23d of December,. public qatiquillity had been disturbed at Saragossa, iu consequence of a . quarrel be►weer► a Spaniard and a French tfumpeter, whicia terminated by the death of the hitter. Further bloodshed had only been avoid ed-through the prudence of the French Corn wander, who confined his troops to- their quar ters in order to prevent them from avenging their comrade. The existence of a hostile spirit be tween the 44 protected " and their 44 protectors " is thus clearly manifested, and _the measures adopted to repress it, although successful at the time, have an iuevitable.tendeucy to augment its bitterness, and to render a future explosion cer tain arid more terrible. The same letter asserts that the ne_w !ministers- were on the ,eve of being Changed, and that `r "the Itoyal . Loan would be taken Up by several foreign houses, under the . guarantee of the Spanish - Clergy." : It is very doubtful, h o wpver, 7 ,thatsuch a.guarantee would be- given, or, 'if offered. would be accepted by any houses liavinz the least regard, for their interests. Ferdinand Kill be cautious how be Calls upon the Clergy to make sacrifices, or to place its property in jeopardy to support h;.5 . „ throne, lest that powerful body should conceive • itself no better treated than it had been by `the ,Constitutionalists, and should turn against him .a- Portion• of that influence which contributed so efficaciously to the overthrow bf the late sys , tern. On the -other hand, should the Clergy consent -to the measure, is the state of its pro ; :perry so secure in the present condition of Spain us- to be considered a sufficient gUarantee for bona fide advances of .real money ? 'This attempt, we Are convinced, will fail like the rest ; and Fer dinand will be ultimately compelled by want of means to-do that Which honour and honesty have hitherto prescribed vain—e-to pay, or at least to recognise, his old debts, before he contracts new ones. • {trp.w tmEs.] • •• At a late_hour. ,last night the-Accounts of the Quarter's - iteveir?,were riot, made up. Enough However iia atespired to, prove the highly prosperous,ortaif the ft.4)venue. The excess of income , over Charge in the Consolidated Fund exceeds, we understand, three millions ; of which 700,0001. are derived from Austria in part re-payment of the Loan so long since made to that Government. The Customs are said to have considerably improved : in the year 1823 their produce exceeded that of the year 1822 by upwards of a Million sterling: and the Quarter ending on the sth of January, 1824, presented an increase of nearly 450,09t1. over the Quarter ending on the sth of January, 1823—such at least are the statements collected from the im perfect accounts of yesterday evening : the exact balances will not be struck till this day. `MORNING HERALD.] Some doubts have been thrown upon the naval advantages recently stated to have been obtained over their oppress-)rs, by the Greeks. They are to tally removed by the last arrivals. The Turkish fleet has been obliged, not merely to take refuge in the Dardanelles, but to lay Itself up for repair at Constantinople. It is stated that the Turks have been compelled to raise the siege of Missolunghi. If this be the fact, it would have a powerful influence over the issue of the war. It would decide the inha bitants of Acarnania and Albania in favour of the G reeks. It is not merely the immediate aspect of the war, that renders the success of the Insurgents pro bable, but the state of embarrassment and con fusion to which the Turkish Government is re sluced. Its financial distress is without parallel, and the usual clumsy expedient of adulterating the currency has been resorted to. .The conse quence is, that those who are possessed of gold or silver have secreted their treasure, and that commerce is completely at a stand. To think of prosecuting the war against the Greeks, under such circumstances, would be nugatory. Ac cordingly an extraordinary meeting of the Divan had taken place to consider of the affairs of Greece. The result is stated to have been the re solution to propose an Amnesty to the Greeks, and place them under native Governors, like those of the \Vallachian and Moldavian provinces. It is not at all unlikely, that this offer may be sup ported by Russian influence. The Emperor Alexander would ❑o doubt assume the same cha racter of mediator and protector, which the Porte has already had the folly to concede in the above-named Provinces, and which is the first step in his project of ultimately possessing himself of those Provinces and of Greece. But there is no great probability that the Greeks would listen to any overture short of their independence.— One only peril may be apprehended, it is that some of the more ambitious Greek chiefs may he influenced by offers of being appointed Gover nors under the new arrangements. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Message of the American President will not be easily digested by the their throats.'" despots of the Con tinent. Already "it sticks in The ultra Etoile, the organ of the intolerant fac tion in France, has a long a rticle on this decisive document in it columns of Sunday. " Mr. Mon " roe, (thi s J ourna l says) / who is no t a Sove " reign, who has himself told us that ho is " only the first deligate of the p e ople, has " taken in his Message the ton e o f a power ' " ful Monarch, whose armies and fl e ets are " ready to go forth on the first signal. He does more (this paper adds), he Prescrib e s to the 44 potentates of Europe the conduct th e y are to 44 pursue in certain circumstances, if th,, v do not " wish to incur his disgrace. Such i s t h e prohi " bition which he issues against their ever think " lug of any new colonization in the t w o Arne " ricas." The American President may n ot have 44 that divine and indefensible right" about him, which the _Mode and its followers are so fond of glorifying; but they will find his arm when supported by the free count r y whose fi rs t Ma gistrate he is, as heavy, when raised t o strike, 44 as the . loins of a King," and an insuperable bar to the meditated attempts of F rance a nd Russia in the New World. The vapourish trash of the Eloile about " Mr. Monro e bei n g the 44 temporary President of a Republic situat e d on 44 the eastern coast of North America," where that great and rising country comprises so vast an ex tent of territory and resources, and more than ten millions of inhabitants,cannot blind even th e most prejudiced. America pretends to no dictation in the affairs of the New. World ; her language is— Let Spain and Portugal recover their emancipated Colonies if they can, by their own efforts and re. sources; but we will have-no armaments raised by France,and the hordesof Russia or Austria on these shores.—Europe is now enslaved -7-America, through her whole extent, is fortunately free.__ How long would freedom exist there, if the principles and. arms of. the Holy. Alliauce be came triumphant ? The Etoile may rave as it pleases, bOthe declared policy of America is that of Great Britain too ; and both Powers, with. their fleets and-.resources, will resist any attempt. of the Continental Despots to carry slavery tcr the shores of the New World. The menace (as we long since foretold it would) ,from either. country, has, however, already produced its of fect ; and Spain and its ally France are now, it appears, willing- to compound, at the announced . Congress, for a sum, of money, to ac k now l e d ge the independence of South America, and, in place of Grotius or Vette!, .to ground their treaty on the sage principles of Cocker's arithmetic.--. What a falling Off. is there. The whole army of martial chivalry vanished, and pounds, shil. hogs, and pence, .appearing in columns in their place South America, however, will never, we trust, compound for such an acknowledgment by a sacrifice of this sort:-she is free at once, de facto et de jure, and why should she pay.aheavy price for -,what she has -already purchased by years of sacrifice and eft9rt ? We are sorry to announce the death of the Viscountess liit.counim, of t aglehurst, in this county.— This event took place a few days since, at an .estate of his Lordship's, Torquay, Devon, to which place her Ladyship retired about twO months since for the benefit of her health.— (Southampton Herald.)

SIR—In the notice with which you hohoured my Lecture of Friday, you pronounce the two propositions contained in my prospectus—first, " that the system of education in the primary schools throughout the civilized world is essen tially vicious ;" and secondly, " that from the moment a boy enters a school, till the moment when his education is what is called completed, he is taught nothing"—to be incorrect and con trary to the fact. I should be happy to be per mitted to discuss these propositions in your paper, believing it possible to demonstrate the truth of them : they will serve as a text to my prefatory remarks at my lecture on Friday next. Mean time, I think it important to observe, that while I disclaim all pretension to miracle, and while I admit the absolute possibility of taking 10 lessons, and not knowing 10,000 words ; yet that, from an experience of above 3,000 pupils, I have in variably found 10 lessons sufficient for that pur pose : more are offered gratuitously if necessary, but it rarely happens that they are found neces sary. In like manner it has been found that 48 lessons are abundantly sufficient to teach a per son to write and speak any modern language with grammatical purity, and to read it with as much pleasure and facility as his native tongue ; but if more are found necessary, they are given without expence. Now lam unable to conceive how a more satisfactory guarantee could be given to the pupil. I assert that private gratuitousi lessons are unnecessary with a very moderate share of attention on the part of the pupil ; but if this cannot be obtained ? it is supplied as far as possible by the teacher. This you admit to be fair, to be honest, and I thank you forthe can dour of the admission ; but I deny the conse quence you draw from it, that such an offer as this takes away from the system every thing which it appears to have of extraordinary. I have never said or insinuated that my pupils learn, without any effort or application on their part; for though they get nothing by rote, though they make little use of grammar or dictionary, though they do not study in the proper sense of that word, yet they are required to read, but to read what is perfectly easy and intelligible. I have, indeed, asserted, and now assert, that the effort or application necessary to obtain any given sum of knowledge on the sys_ tem of the schools, would require tenfold the effort and application which it would require on the system which I advocate; and I offered in my lecture such a proof of this as I might perhaps have hoped you would have thought sufficiently extraordinary to notice. A boy of 13 years of age was brought to me on Monday, Dec. 22. He stated himself that he had been five years learn. ing French. Examined in presence of his fa ther, it was ascertained that he could not trans late the most easy phrase of the French Testa ment. On that day (Monday) he recomenced the study o f French, and in the afternoon the study of German, of which he did not then knew o ne letter. He took a lesson in each language every d a y (except Sunday and Christmas-day) till Frid a y, when I examined him, and found he had read the whole of the Gospel of St. John in both lan gu ages, translating every word in the analy tical manner of my lecture ; and that, in short, he knew as much German as French. The boy's; name and address are at foot. I invit e you to verify the truth of my statement. Th e l e sson never occupied two full hours, and the boy ac knowledges he has never looked at a book in either language except in class, It is not con tended that this is a miracle; hut it is contended that such a progress is utterly unknown, if not utterly impossible, in the system of the schools. Yet this is the progress which I guarantee to ef fect in every language which T profess to teach, with regard to every pulpit I receive. I there fore argue, that when a progress equal to this can without risk of failure be guaranteed to e very pupil indiscriminately, the principle on which they are-taught must be sun v ereminently correct, and that a system entirely opposite in practice and result must be essentially vicious. I have the honour to be, Szc. JAMES HAMILTGN. MONUMENT TO LORD ERSKINE. The following Letter was yesterday sent by Mr. DENMAN to the. Gentleman who sdperin. tends the Subscription for th e Statue to Lord Ett6KINE ‘ beg leave to en c l ose m y subscription to. wards proposed lßl Monument in honour of Lord Erskine, ` D theEa S having discovered from the list printed in the Morning Cliro. nide, to my greit surprise and mortification, that the payment was not made immediately after the meeting in Lincoln's-Inn. Hall. gave the order the very same evening, and the orris, sion, which has resulted wholly from the negligence of another, was unknown to me till this day. It however gives me fair opportunity of stating, that I did all in my power to promote that meeting ; that I attended it, and approved the resolutions . pa s sed ; that I should have been .anxious to form one of the Committee, if it had not been thought prudent befoehand to confine their number to the highest rank of professional gen- tlemen at the.bar ; and that no man has been more zealous in the wish to see an adequate tribute paid to the transcendent merits of Lord Erskine, as no man can feel them more sen sibly, or regard his character with warmer emotions of grati. tude, respect, and affection.
