THE LONDON JOURNALS. PA 1 IX Extracts from the Morning Pvers, Nov [THE TIM ES.] One of those productions called tariffs has Jett been presented by his Belgic Majesty to the tower Chamber of the States-General, for their approbation ; and veritably, if they do .approve of it, we shall be apt to think them not much ferior iu wisdom and patriotism to the King him self. This tariff—after a touch upon vinegar, which, it appears, is too precious a beverage to be parted with, and is therefore to pay a duty on exportation —goes on to treat about grain in all its branches. Our readers know pretty well by this time what sort of a thing a landed interest is. in England, the landed gentlemen have been long contriving to save their own rents at the ex pence of our stomach, and so completely have they gained their point, that while the price of bread has been kept up, the rents have uni versally fallen t The gentlemen of the Nether lands having a laudable desire to follow this very edifying example, have besieged their Go vernment with murmurs and remonstrances upon the mischief of suffering the Dutch and Flemish nations to eat any bread of foreign growth. The Government, in obe dience, as usual,to the "Country Gentlmen," puts forth a project for a new tax on corn, by one clause of which it is provided, that all grain im ported shall pay an increased duty ; and by another, that the Flemish farmer himself shell be discouraged from growing the very article thus protected, by a tax on the export of grain, little short of that upon its importation! The wisdom of our profound and enlightened ances tors was conspicuous in the severity of their im posts upon the conveyance of such articles out of the kingdom as they were anxious to keep among themselves. Their prudence has been devoutly imitated by their descendants of the last and present generation, who laid a tax on foreign wool imported, and another on native wool exported, that they might balance eccounts between the farmer and manufacturer by injuring both alike. So here we see reflected, in this Dutch looking-glass, the bright image of our own policy, remote and recent, with regard to the taxation of wool. The people on one hand are told that they shall have no breed at all but such as their native soil affords them ; and the producers of bread are excluded from the foreign market, 'that they may be deterred, by this happy expedient, from growing a single grain too much for domestic purposes, and therefore from giving the victims of their monopoly the chance of even a momentary fall in prices. One might almost fancy that some of our large English landholders had got the ear of the Dutch Fi nance Minister, and whispered into it how kindly he would act by placing such an obstacle before the Dutch agriculturists in their road to the British market. Why, of such Core-law• leatherheadedness we can bring no more,signal proof, than that even Lord Bexley was not guilty of it I Even Lord Bexley had sense enough to propose that the export of corn, at least, should be free to the English merchant. if the object of the Flemish Cabinet be—by pretending to give way on the one side to the landholder, arid on the other to the trader—to raise, in reality, a revenue upon both, it presents the question under another aspect. The Government, in that case, plays its own thrifty game. While the bear and lion are contending for the carcass, reynard slips behind them, and makes a hearty meal of it. [BRITISH PRESS.] It has been remarked with great satisfaction I►y the enlighteded friends of both countries, that for some time the most liberal and amicable eel). Orients have been growing up between the inha bitants of Great Britain and the United States of North America. Within a short period a greater approximation of feeling has taken place than, a few years ago, we could have expected it ball a century. The identity of the foreign policy adopted by the two Governments, and the daily-increasing extent and importance of the commercial intercourse between the two na tions, have brought home to the knowledge of the people of both the States a sense of corn triunity of interest, which, founded upon and supported by the sameness of their origin, laws, and language, and the similarity of their cus. toms, character, and institutions, has taken from the natives of either country the irksomeness of considering themselves foreigners when visiting the other, and stimulating them both to a wise and generous determination to stand together ag ai nst th e world. We should only deceive our selves if we supposed that this feeling in the United States is universally diffused. There are some who look with pain and envy on this happy union of sentiment between England and her transatlantic descendants. Mr. Addington, our Qizarge ripires at Washington, addressed a note, at the close of August last, to Mr. Adams, the American Secretary of State, stating, in sub stance, that " much inconvenience lied Ween found to result from the use of the Union Jack, as a signal for pilots in foreign countries, it had been determined by the British Ad milky, henceforward, to substitute for that signal a special {lag, namely, the British Union Jack, with a broad white border added to it;" and in conclusion suggesting to the American Government, " whether it might not be deemed expedient by them to adopt on their part, for the use of the American navy, some distinguish. log flag, as a special signal for the same purpose." Atethe ground of this suggestion, Mr. Addington stated, what is well known to all persons en gaged in the American trade ; viz. that much pm "Yrassmiint, and, in many instances, serious dilitress and danger, are at present occasioned to the vessels of the United States on foreign stations. A suggestion so important and yet so perfectly disinterested * It vrott t , one "mg h ave anticipated, have been received, not only as it was by the Government, in the, spirit of good-will and friendship, in which it ori ginated, but also- by every American citizen, o f ever y party, with at least effected satisfaction. But it will be seen, that there are some who have pretended to discover in Mr. Addington's Note ars endeavour to dictate an acknowledgment of our naval' superiority, by a compulsory con formity of signals! No conclusion, however, could he more erroneous than that which would lead' us to believe that the feelings that per vade many of the American journals with re spect to British questions, are those of the peo ple at large. The press of the United States is principally in the hands of Irishmen, who have been obliged to banish themselves to that country on account of their political offences ; and they seldom miss an opportunity of avenging their supposed wrongs, by vilifying the English' character, and infusing jealousy and suspicion into the breasts of the. native Americans. We have thought this explanation necessary, in order to disabuse our countrymen of the mistakes that would naturally result from regarding the Ame rican press as an image of the feelings and dis position of the American people. It is import ant to the welfare of both countries that they' should not be duped into prejudices with respect to each other, by the misrepresentations of ma lignant individuals on either side of the ocean. [MORNING POST.] The paper which first gave the miraculous his ory of Mr. Fauntleroy's private vices and dis. sipations, seems not unnaturally irritated at th e falsification of the tale implied in that miserable defence. " It is not usual," quoth our contemporary, " to assume as proved facts the declaration of one in his unhappy situation." No thing can he truer—but we did not " assume" them " as proved facts ;" we expressly said they might be false, and that a proper examination of thu books of the Banking House was necessary in order to settle this point satisfactorily. Mr. Faunt leroy, however, by alleging his criminal con duct to have arisen from the embarrassments of the Berners-street Firm, has indicated the means of detecting the incorrectness of his statements. Nay, he has made a strict scrutiny into the sub ject indispensable ; and we may observe, should the result belie his asseverations, the very end which he had in view—namely, to exonerate himself before the public from the charge of pro fligate habits—inast not only be defeated, but an additional stigma affixed to his character, calcu lated to blacken and aggravate with its peculiar heinousness, all the other acts of depravity of which he has been accused. In offering his de fence he discarded the idea, as he had before evi dently lost the hope of thus or any wise averting the dreadful fate dile to his crimes. He looked solely to the future opinion of the world respecting his motives for committing them,and he must have known that until the truth shoeld r be hereafter , finally and fully elicited, that opinion would not be decisively formed. We mention these circum stances not to extenuate this wretched man's guilt ; but when rancour would fain extend its sting beyond the grave, we deem it only common justice to let facts speak au honest language to the public. What we complain of is, not merely that a fallen fellow-creature should be trampled on (such is the lot of humanity), but that the oppor tunity should be taken to heap opprobrium and in famy on an individual, which there is no proof he deserves, and which, if there were, it could serve no public purpose to promulgate. Can any thing either be more cruel, than when a 'man is on the verge of eternity to suggest inferences against his veracity althat awful moment on flim sy pretexts. Mr. Fauntleroy leaving said that the expences of his house at Brighton, where his mother and sister mostly resided, were (exclusive of wines) under 4001. per annum, we are told to consider the statement as a lie, on no other evidence than the external appearance of the pre mises ; and forthwith a general conclusion as to the falsehood of all his other declarations is hung upon this most inconsequential assumption. But " when bad begins worse remains behind." Our contemporary trumped up a wondrous tale of licentious excesses, and now, to preserve a few appearances of respectability, that vile piece o fiction nicest be boltered up by hints and insinue , tions, equally unfounded in reason aied dates able in object. Bow much better had both bet avoided ? [NEW MUM) Consols closed yesterday at 964, after having been 961 for the Account.—The veracity of the last accounts from South America being much doubted, or rather the accounts circulated here being grossly exaggerated, the speculators in South American Securities were less sanguine yesterday in their expectation that the reported victory of the Independents would be confirmed. The' prices' consequently were lower, and the stigma of first raising the false report of the successes of the Independents was cast upon a party extensively interested in this description of property, but with what justice we pretend not to decide. Mexican Bonds, after being at 67i, closed at 661; Colombian Bonds, /Aft. — Yesterday the new Neapolitan Loan, respecting which so much interest has existed for some time past s was brought into the market, at the con tract price of 94 It will be recollected that this loan was negociated so far back as last August by Mr. C. M. de Rothschild at Naples ; its amount is 2,500,0001. sterling ; but as it is di vided lo equal proportions between the houses of Messrs. Rothschild of Paris, Naples, and Lon don, only 800,0001. of its amount was brought into the English market. The dividends are payable on the Ist August and Ist February, heariug interest at 'the rate of five per cent. per annum, and this includes the dividend from August last. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] No confirmation has been yet received of the late fa vourable intelligence from Peru ; and some days may elapse before it can be ascertained whether it be authentic or not. In this inter val of suspense the Public must prepare them selves for a succession of sinister rumours re spec:ling General Bolivar ; of which they had a specimen yesterday, though of, so clumsy a texture, that it is surprising how any ra tional being could believe it. Yet this gresa at tempt at deception partially succeeded ; and had LVIO RNING CH 11.0NICLEj - - . We perceive that Messrs. Marsh,Stracey, ano Graham, by a notice, request the public to suspend their judgment with respect to them till the 18th December, when they are to be ex amined on oath before the Commissioners. The public will, we suspect, be inclined to think that there are certain points in Mr. Fauntleroy's defence which ought to be answered sooner. These points are few in number, and admit of an easy answer one way or the other. Is it or is it not true that the concern was in the ecessitous state in which he describes it to have been, when the management of it was thrown on him, a youth of 22? Is it true that this originally necessitous Bank suffered afterwards the heavy losses which he has specified ? An an swer to these two points, though not on oath, while Mr. Fauntleroy is still in life to meet it, would he extremely acceptable. If the law is suffered to take its course, the only individual capable of elucidating this mysterious affair will cease to be one of the living before the 18th De. cember. When we consider, that the other par ties have declared themselves entirely unacquaint ed with the affairs of the concern, we trust, that f or the sake of the multitude of sufferers by this Bankruptcy, to whom the elucidation which this man is capable of affording, may be of essential importance, his life will be spared for a time at least. It is proper that the business should be sifted to the bottom, and if, without the aid of this individual, it cannot be sifted, then we say it is of far more importance, that the elu cidation which he can give should he obtained, thau that he should pay immediately with his penalty of th e l aw. A ll we wish is, i l fe that t i: le o step which cannot be recalled shall he taken hastily.—The failure of another Bank affords another melancholy proof of the injurious effects of the Bank of England monopoly. now long are the people to be sacrificed to a system at variance with justice and every sound prin ciple of political economy ! [MORNING HERALD.) Mr. Fuuntleroy, we observe, was advised to complain, in his address to the Jury, of what he culls the calumnies and misrepresentations of the Newspapers; and the Learned Judge who tried him is represented as having joined in the lamen tation. We would anxiously avoid urging a syl labia which should appear to affect Mr. Faunt. leroy in the awful situation in which he now stands; but it is due to the Press to say, that we never remember a case of such overwhelming interest and magnitude, in which so much for bearance has been ahewn. 'rids is proved by two simple facts—one, that the most aggravating circumstance produced upon his trial, though well known to us, and, we dare say, to most of our contemporaries, was never stated ;—and the other, because it is well known, that so far from aggravating matters against him, the Press has been already accused of exciting a groundless commiseration towards him. The facts and their results are now before the world ; and what man is there who will conscientiously say that a syllable which has been published upon the subject has bud the smallest influence upon that result ? Really we do not know to what state things are coming, or by what rules the Press is to be guided. We suppose it will soon be wrong to say that the SUB ShilIPS, lest some speculator forpioeculatordaumpoat dama g es t O r harvest lar:.eestmsuhsot notu!d have han- lounce that a fleet of colliers are at sea, lest the olders of coals should not obtain the prices they iay be demanding ! We are inclined, and ought to be ready to make every allowance for a man in Mr. Fauntleroy's situation. We wish that I►e had never had worse enemies or advisers than the persons who conduct. the Press. But we do protest against the Press being made the scape. goat upon all occasions; and, above all, at its being condemned unnecessarily by those who, perhaps, awe to it no small sham of their own success in fife, a s well as their pre. I sent reputation in the world, to the publicity it has afforded them. We cannot quit this sub. 'Ore effect of throwing a gloom on the market, from which t it did not wholly recover, after the absurdity of the rumour had been ascertained.— This distrust was the natural consequence of the too implicit manner in which the account of Bo- livar's success was at first received ; and the re-action of opinion that has taken place, so far from subsiding, will probably continue, as long as the news retains its present imperfect form.— The report, that was circulated yesterday, to the disadvantage of the Independent cense, stated, that a vessel had arrived from Buenos Ayres at Liverpool, and that letters, brought by this conveyance, announced the defeat of General Bolivar. One would suppose that this circuitous route would expose the fraud, but, though the deception was palpable, still it served the pur pose of enabling such persons as had speculated with too much confidence on the previous intelli gence, to make a decent retreat. In the mean time the posture of affairs in Peru was, at the date of the latest authentic accounts, as favour able as the most sanguine friends of her inde pendence could reasonably expect. The date of these accounts is the 30th of June, from Truxillo, and of the 14th of July, from Guaya_ quil ; and both concur in stating, that Bolivar, having left Cojatambo on the 17th of June, was ip full march to attack Canterac at Jauga. Bolivar was to reach Jauga between the Bth and 10th of July, a circumstance which clearly gives much weight to his re ported success. A strong detachment of troops, consisting of the new reinforcements, which had arrived from Colombia, had orders to march against Lima. The blockading force of Guise consisted of the Prueba, the Vijia, the Mace donia, and the Congress. This account, which is taken fr om Th e B ogota G azette, of the 29th of August, prepares us for the event, announced in the last new York Papers, and is a strong pre sumption of the truth of the statement. The greatest uncertainty still hangs over the fate of the Spanish line-of-battle ship the Asia; and should she arrive on the coast of Peru it would be probably too late to render any effectual ser vice to the Royalists. ject without tendering our tribute of applause to the good taste, humanity, and judgment with which the Attorney-General opened the case. The whole of his address to the Jury was exactly that which was suited to the occasion. But what we most admire in it is the following passage : " In discharging the painful duty which has thus devolved upon me, am bound to con fine myself implicitly and strictly to a statement of facts. This is a criminal charge, and in such a one I am more especially called upon, when the life of a prisoner is involved in the result, and where his Counsel are precluded by the rule of law from replying to any general statement of Counsel for the' prosecution. I am, I say, in such a case more peculiarly called upon to abstain from any effort calculated to excite your feelings, or from giving any undue colour. ing to the facts. If, therefore, I were in the slightest degree to aggravate the facts, which, according to my instructions, you will have in the regular course of the trial before you, I should not only not do my duty in the manner in which it ought to be done, but travel beyond that line which is decorous and proper on so painful an occasion."—This is exactly the course which should be taken in criminal cases. And if Advocates, on such occasions, instead of indulg ing in loose declamatory matter, would confine themselves to a fair and intelligible statement of facts, we should hear no complaints of the otherwise apparent hardship of prisoners not being allowed to address the Jury by Cotinsel. We therefore hail this example, coming from the head of the Bar, as one which we shall be happy to see followed ; and we have no doubt, but that it will be followed by those who consult their own real reputation and the true interests of their clients and of public justice. SALE OF ANTIQUITIES. On the 14th ult. there was a curious sale at Kirkinuir-hill, of old effects belonging to a person lately de ceased there. lie was the last survivor of a family that had resided at Draffan for upwards of 300 years ; and the know ' ledge that there would be sold the various costumes that had g b e a t e i t, r a a n n d m h a n d , e b n e s e e n cr h o a w n d d e . d A d ro ow s thoffro them i f , r a t t i l e i e l e r o fr s o o m n , been in fashion among our forefathers for many generations t ( h lre ei w r tiquity, were bought at high prices. There was a silver watch, made 160 years ago, which went well, and indicated the day of the month as well as an eight-day clock. Three presses, little better than lumber, which had been in use for one hundred and seventy years, brought more titan any new presses would have done. There were forty of the oldest fashion. ed vests to be found in Scotland, and had any person connected with the stage been present, they would have proved a valuable acquisition, and been a genuine rep resentat i on of the costume of th e l as t two centuries, instead of the imitations .of the present day. There was one vest with elegant buttons of Charles Jl.'s reign, the lappets of which hung over the thighs of the breeches, and it was single-breasted. The va rious patterns and shapes of those days were a 'most inte resting sight, and carried the mind back to former times.-- 'Some vests and coats had buttons on them with the inscrip tion, " Duke of Cumberland, born 1721," and the bust of the Duke. About 500 yards of yarn and linen went off at 2s. 4d. a yard, being a half above value. There were eight Bibles sold, which were very old, and there was much camped tion for them. A number of old catechisms, which had ac cumulated in the family, were eagerly purchased by the cu. rious. There were a number of reeds and other articles con.in se th u ein . 15T Years old, a n d qu i te here was a l arge lot of ndifferentect netted wi ro t h mthose weaving,at presentsom e . of cotton gowns of different hgurps and colou rs . Th ere were two very rich silk brown and black gowns, of as particular make, and well worthy the attention of the milliners of the present day, as it corroborated the saying that there was nothing ne w under the sun, and showed that the present fashions were wholly derived from our forefathers. There was a bottle of very old Jamaica rum found hid among the old apparel, which was handed like a scent bottle round the company. There was a number of ancient cravats, made with fringes at the end, and squares for women's caps, with lace ro un d figure of the ladies' dresses of the present d a y. Th ere were 6 2 caps, which gave a tine idea of the head-dresses 150 and 200 years ago. 'here was a vast quantity of stockings of curious forms. There was a singular woollen petticoat, fringed round the bottom with red, which would answer well for the Gentle Shepherd. The family seat at the door was a solid piece .o cannel coal, and had been there longer than any one recollected, A variety of other old articles was disposed of at high prices, Indeed, any person could have been furnished with all the di ferent modes of fashion for two centuries back. The sale las ed two days.—( Glasgow Journal. INCREASE OF ATTonNIEs:—It appears, from the notices posted up near the Law Courts inWestminster, that not fewer than IM persons intend to apply in the approaching term to be admitted as Attornies at Law. Of these, seven are applications for re-admission fr om parties w h o have been attor. flies betbre. PUBLIC FLAGELLATION.—Yesterday morning, pursuant to their sentences, two men were publicly and efec. lively whipped in the court-yard of the Old Bailey ; after which ceremony, three young men (one of whom was named Doris) received a similar compliment to private. Davis w as discharged forthwith. Previous to his leaving prison he had an interview with the Governor of Newgate, who in a humane manner in. quired as to the place of his destination, and the means he had to proceed thither. Thelad said that he was a native 6f Worth. ing, where his friends live, and thither he wished to go, but was e n ti r ely destitute of means to d o so , f or he was pennyless and in want of trousers and shoes.

YOUNG OPIE THE ST. AGNES ARTIST.---. Though long silent admirers of the extraordinary talents of this deserving youth (who, if patronage and education could be conferred upon him, would, doubtless, become an ornament to the county), we have withheld our praise until we could call public attention to some production that would bear scrutiny, and prove that, amidst his yet many faults, he inherits a very superior genius. lie has now finished a portrait of his younger brother, for a gentleman at Axminster, an inspection of which, we are of opinion, will in 4uce the admirers of his late -uncle, John Opie, Esq., It. A., to conclude that the mantle of that admired painter has descended upon the present lad, and that strong touches of incipient genius are observable in this young Artist, his surviving relation. His method and style are singular, as may naturally be expected in an untaught youth of 14. llis colouring is clear and strong, with a great look of nature, and he works with a good body of colours. Effect appears to be his chief object, although, in the picture before us e that effect is made sufficiently subservient to his sub ject ; there is much of force and character in this production, yet the painter has happily preserved all the natural softness to be found in the coun tenance of a cherub-cheeked child. We have with difficulty been allowed by the timid youth to shew the picture to our friends, and to leave it for a few days in the ware-rooms of Mr. Wm. Mudge, Truro, who, from his love of the Arts, will take pleasure in exposing it to the public...— The young Artist is at present engaged in paint ing two portraits of himself, for Mr. Edgar and Mr. Busoine, of Bristol.—(Cornwall Gazette.) THE TALES or THE GREEN TAPER. [From Ackermann', " Forget me Not."l " Among the unfortunate families of Spanish Monscoes, who were forced to quit Spain in 1610, there was one of a very rich farmer, who owned the house we speak of. As the object of the government was to hurry the Moriscoes out of the country without allowing them time to remove their property, many buried their money and jewelsin hopes of returning from Africa at a future period. Muley Hassem, according to our popular tradition, had c6ntrived a vault under the large Zaguan, or close porch of thehouse. Distrusting his Christian neighbours, he had there accumulated great quantities of gold and pearls, which, upon his quitting the country, were laid under a spell by another Moriscoe, deeply versed in the secret arts. " The jealousy.of the Spaniards, and the severe penalties enacted against such of the exiles as should return, precluded Mule) , Hassem from all opportunities of recovering his trea sure. He died, incrusting the secret to his only daughter, who, having grown up at Seville, was, perfectly acquainted with the spot under the charm. Fatima married, and was soon left a widow, with a daughter, whom she taught Spanish, hoping to make her pass for a native of our country. Urged by the approach of poverty, which sharpened the desire to make use the secret intr u sted t o h er , Fatima, with her daughter tileima, embarked on board a corsair, and were landed se• cretly in a cove near Huelva. Dressed in the costume of the peasantry, and having assumed Christian names, both mother and daughter made their way to Seville on foot, or by any oc casional conveyance which offered on the road. To avoid sus picion, they gave out that they were returning from the per• formance of a vow to a celebrated image of the virgin, near Mogner. I will not tire you with details as to the means by which Fatima obtained a place for herself and daughter in the family then occupying.her own paternal house.
