LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts fronz the Morning Papers, June 8. [THE TIMES.] Ple accounts from Paris describe the agitation -,hich was created by the failure in the Chamber if Peers of the Minister's project of reducing the interest upon the public debt. With us a mea sure of fi:tance could hardly be arrested in the upper House, and still less by a Bishop or an Archbishop ; vet is the oppmdtion of the Arch i)ishop of Paris to the proposed law described as having greatly tended to its rejection. The clergy in the remotest part of France will feel this influence of one of the chiefs of their body. —The old doctrine, that a Minister once defeat ed was a Minister no more, has met with so many heterodoxical exceptions, that we suspect it will not in this case he allowed to prevail ; but that M. de Vlllele will still, in homely phrase, endea your to " rub on." Were we to speak of the mea sure abstractedly, we should say that it would have been an useful one; for we do not think the de cision of a majority, "übisententhe numerantur non ponderantur," binding upon the understanding, though it constrains the obedience of the will. It must be observed also, that where a Government can raise funds sufficient to pay off its small cre ditorc, and is still obliged to retain them at an high interest, those creditors are converted into mere stipendiaries of the State; they are receiv ing as alms from the public, whatever portion of interest they derive beyond that at which Go vernment could have raised a loan for their dis charge. It is an obvious violation of the first principles of justice, for a creditor to say to his debtor, you shall neither pay me off my debt, nor reduce the interest upon it, but shall go on, ctrl infinitum, continuing to owe me a sum of money, and continuing to pay me the interest upon it which I prescribe. NVe have alluded above to the art which produced the rejection of the plan of the Minister, and the expression of feeling with which that rejection was accom panied. Probably no measure ever excited more general hostility—probably no defeat was ever followed with more popular satisfaction. — The Parisians even forgot their usual business and amusements to celebrate the preservation of their undiminished rentes, the disgrace of M. de Villele, and the disappointed speculation of the great capitalists. Groups were on Thursday afternoon formed about the Gaffe Tortoni, on the Boule vard, the head-quarters of jobbers and specu lators, to learn the news; and their eKultations at the conduct of the Chamber of Peers were ge neral and enthusiastic. Amid the cries of joy, the name of Vißele was of course mentioned without much reverence. At all the theatres the pleasurable agitation was visible : the battle of Marengo did not more completely withdraw the attention of the Parisians from the business of the stage. In the quarters of Paris inhabited ley numbers of the small annuitants, illumina tions took place in the evening ; squibs and crackers ‘rere fired off, and M. de Villele, but for the presence of the police, would have been hunt in effigy. The Chamber of Peers and the Archbishop of Paris were declared immortal in the popular esteem, and their conduct was ex tolled with grateful veneration. [BR ITISII PRESS.] We regret to state that the last accounts from Calcutta bring the melancholy details of a most alarming scarcity at Madras. The crops, from long drought, or some other cause, had unfor tunately failed along the coast, and Madras and the surrounding country was in a state of fright ful famine. Parents were abandoning their chil dren from want, and several had expired of , absolute starvation. Such a calamity reminds us but too strongly of the dreadful famine which desolated Ilindostan in the latter adminis tration of Lord Clive, and which was pregnant with so many horrors. The simple natives of India live almost wholly on rice; animal food they will not touch, from religious antipathy ; and any failure of the rice crops, amid an immense population such as swarms over the greater part of India, must be attended with in describable misery. Plentiful supplies, however, were expected at Madras from the northern pro vinces and Bengal, no scarcity existing there.— W e therefore trust that the dreadful pressure was but temporary, and that it has long since passed away. The blessings of British government and humanity would be deeply felt by the hapless natives ender such a visitation ; no exertion or remedy would be spared to give them immediate relief. [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the 7th instant reached us last night by Express. They are full of rumours and speculations respecting the probable effect of M. de Villele's defeat. According to some, he had offered his resignation, which had not been accepted. " According to others," says the " the retreat of another Minister, (Viscount Chateaubriand) appeared probable, although that Minister, in the memorable dis cussion which will re-echo throughout Europe, took the precaution of preserving an apparent neu Erat y." This confirms wh at we stated the schism ex i st i ng be _ -yesterday respecting tvveen Messrs. de Villole and Chateauh r i an d on the subject of the rejected law and chews that the latter, whilst he abstained from speak ing on tie Project, used his influence with his friends to induce them to vote against it. Which of ,the two leaves tine Ministry (should things be carried to an extremity) must, we re peat, entirely depend on the degree of personal favour which he enjoys with the King ; and if it be true that Villele offered to resign, and that his offer was not accepted, it would appear that the Royal feeling was hostile to his rival and conqueror, whose ministerial existence would consequentlysbe brief. One thing is certain, that N. dVi re-appeared in the Chamber of Deputies since his defeat, and has spoken in the capacity of President of the Ministers in support of the septennial law. This does not indicate a disposition to retire from orrice, and the marked which his tra nsact:Lug man ner in business with the King and Monsieur, is noticed in the Minis terial Papers is evidently intended to remove from the public mind all idea of his having lost any portion of credit or authority. The Con stitutionnel gives the detail of the disturbance said to have taken place at Madrid on the 23d and 24th ult.; but the Journal des Daats asserts that they occurred as far back as the 2cl of May, and that they had been entirely suppressed and abundance restored long before the date of the last accounts, which was the 26th ult. The same Journal contains a copy of the Memorandum sent by the Grand Vizier on the 9th of April to Lord Strangford, complaining of English subjects having sent assistance to the Greeks or joined them. The Porte will not believe that the laws of England do not allow " those acts of crying in justice to be punished !" It charges our Govern ment with having prevented English vessels from carrying provisions to the Turkish garrisons that were besieged, and says that as the power existed on that occasion it must equally exist on the other. This Memorandum concludes in the following manner It is clear that the British Govern ment may prevent all this, if it wishes it, and it is time to wish it." Could we consider this Note as authentic, we should not hesitate to pronounce it a most contemptible piece of impudence ; but the probability is, that it is merely another of those impudent fabrications in which the foreign journals are wont to indulge. [NEW TIMES.] The Alexandria has arrived at Guernsey from Rio Janeiro, whence she sailed on the 18th.— The letters will not be delivered until this day, but it was rumoured that the difference between the Emperor and Lord Cochrane had been ad justed, and his Lordship had resumed the com mand of the Brazilian navy. The Emperor, it was added, had most formally declared his reso lution to abide by the Constitution as at present established. An extract was posted at Lloyd's yesterday, from the Cornwall Gazette,, giving a list of the French vessels of war said to be re maining at Rio on the 17th March, to the number of fifteen. We need not add that these vessels have long since sailed on their different destina tions, and the letters by the Alexandria of a month later date will remove all doubt upon the subject. We have received Sierra Leone Gazettes to the 13th of March inclusive, but the inhabitants of that settlement were then totally ignorant of the disaster which had befallen their revered Governor. In fact the latest accounts they had then received of the affairs on the Gold Coast were derived from the English Newspapers of the 3d of January! There is a melancholy pleasure in perusing the continued testimonies which these Papers afford to the paternal care of Sir. Charles INl'Carthy for the Colony under his command.— In the Paper of the 28th of February we find the following passage : " It is now four months since our esteemed Governor left the Colony for the Gold Coast, and from his Excellency's inten tions at that time there is every reason to expect. the pleasure of his return before our next publication. Should this happily be the case, we venture to hope that the improvements which have taken place in his absence will prove as gratifying to him, as his presence will most assuredly be to every individual under his Gov ernm enc." A Correspondent in the same. Paper expresses dmsett thus : " Those influential Members of the Government: who have had the happiness of witnessing the warm interest the Governor takes in the welfare of the inhabitants of this Colony, endea vour to make his Excellency's absence less felt, by their exer tions in carrying on the great and noble work of raising its peculiar population fro►x ►gnorance and misery to civilization and happiness. The encouragement of agriculture, commerce, and intercourse with the interior of this vast Continent was never more attended to than at present; while the patronage afforded to all these institutions, which tend to assist these ob jects, is as liberally given." One circumstance of a satisfactory nature is, that the Borodino transport, With 120 m o n o f th e Royal African Colonial Corps on board, under the command of Lieut. M'Combie, arrived at Sierra Leone on the 21st of February from the Cape of Good Hope, and sailed on the 24th for Cape Coast, where we trust they arrived in time to render effectual service.—(Mid.) [MORNING CHRONICLE.] W. call the attention of our readers to a re. port in another part of the paper, of a Meeting at the Freemasons' favern yesterday, for the pur pose of promoting the establishment of Infant Schools. IVe lately enjoyed the pleasure of see ing the Infant School, established by Mr. Wil son, in Quaker-street, Spitalfields, at which nearly two hundred children were attended to, all of them happy and contented. It was truly observed by many of the speakers at the Meet ing, that in this great metropolis there is a large class of the population unable to attend to their children, so that the Infant Schools do net with draw children from the care of their parents, but withdraw them from the streets of this crowded metropolis, where they are exposed to every vice, and where they become a prey to veterans in iniquity. While we ear nestly recommend these Schools to public pa- tronage, we cannot at the same time help lamenting that the remuneration of so large a portion of the people of this country should be so very inade quate, that the labour of the wife as well as the husband is necessary for the subsistence of the family. This naturally leads us to the expres sion of a wish, that the circumstances which de termine whether the labouring classes shall he miserable or comfortable, should be generally communicated to them. This most important subject was yesterday discussed in an able man ner by Mr. M'Culloch in his Lecture on Na tional Education, some account of which we shall giv e on a future day, and which, for the sake of the labouring classes of this country, we could wish were as extensively circulated among them as Possible. A conviction seems to be fast gain ing ground in this country, that the well being of the labouring classes is essential to the security of the rich.—We trust this is a subject on which there will soon be little diversity of opinion. —To .those who t hi n k that the ignorance and wretchedness of the poor desirable stat e o f t hi ngs we would say-- read is n the accounts we this day give from Spain, and look to Ireland. Read the evidence of Mr. Macke, and the other Ma g i s t ra t es exam i ned by the Select Committee on the districts of Ire land under the Insurrection Act Some Gentlemen's houses are dark all day almost; all the houses were barricadoed in some part of the house ; the barricadoes being necessarily of a heavy description, it is inconvenient to move them ; in some houses they had but one sitting room in the house, where the light was admissi ble at all in the day-time, and not all the win-. dows even of that room; the barricadoes, which were bullet proof, were of course of a consider able thickness.' "—Such are the fruits of igno rance and oppression. It is wisely ordained that we are all interested in the well-being of each other. [MORNING lIER.ALD.] On Saturday there was a Meeting held at Liverpool, for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning his Majesty in Council to acknowledge the independence of Spain's South American C o l on i es . S ome speec hif y i ng took pl ace , but it was of the same nature that has already appeared in almost innumerable pub lications. There was not a new thought sported on the occasion. It seems that our exports to those States amounted last year to five millions ; this we are not surprised at ; we should have thought that the amount had been greater. We should have imagined that the loans advanced the last year to those States would much more considerably have swelled the amount of our exports, for the presumption is, with regard to these loans, that the amount of them is sent in British productions. The petition talks of the various restrictions under which the commerce between this country and those States labour—and yet we exported last year five mil liOns. Is not this a sort of contradiction to that assertion ? The petition alludes to the mea sures taking by the United States' Government to impede the progress of the consumption of our manufactured goods, by taxing them more and more every year, so that at length it will amount to a prohibitory tax. Now, here is a se cret let out. The United States' Government which we have been extolling to the skies— this Government, which Mr. Canning, when he was at Liverpool, said was to go hand in hand with England, in order to stem the tor rent of Continental despotism, is fast becoming one of the most inimical Governments towards us, so far as encouraging the consumption of our manufactured articles is concerned, by levying excessive imposts on them. It is not much more than a quarter of a century that - we have traded with these sons of freedom, and yet they are about to treat us as if that country were under the dominion of an absolute King. But can we wonder that the United States' people should lay a heavy tax on our goods ? In doing so does she not imitate us ? Has she not as much right to say to us, we grow cotton, and in order to en courage the manufactory of it into cloth for our own use, we will tax your cotton cloths 40 per cent. ; as we have to say to them, we grow wool, and in order to encourage our woollen cloths, we will lay a tax on foreign woollens of 40 per cent. ? But hitherto, in such respects, the United States' people are more liberal to wards us than we are towards them, for they per mit the exportation of their cotton, while we will not permit the exportation of our wool. The petition mentions that of late our exports to South AmeriCa have equalled our exports to the United States. ALARMING SCARCITY AT MADRAS. [FROIkI A MORNING PAPER.] It is with infinite regret we announce the following distressing intelligence from Calcutta and Madras : " CALCUTTA, JAN. B.—The accounts from Madras are of a most distressing nature, and have come upon us with a sud denness which renders the horror the more striking. We were prepared to expect a scarcity of grain on the coast, but had not the most distant idea of the extent to which the failure of the crops had reached. M tdras and the surrounding country is in a state of famine. Independently of the accounts we publish to-day from Madras Papers, private letters all agree too minutely in the distressing details, for us to doubt a second that the most dreadful effects are to be apprehend e d. It i s s t a ted that even dread of the arms of the milit ar y, w h o are necessarily placed at the Godowns where the Rice is distributed, is scarcely sufficient to prevent depredations. Parents are a bandoning their children, and several have already died from absolute starvation. This is but the commencement Of the appalling consequences of famine. Disease i s sur e to follow, and although we are certain that every possible means within the power of Government will be employed to lessen the effects of this dire visitation, we trust also that the aid of the Bengal public will not be withheld. " Manners, DEC. 23.—1 t is with regret that we notice the increasing distress prevalent among the natives from the scar city of rice ; in the bazaars it is not to be procured, anti only. one bankshall is now open for its sale, censequently the rush of the people to obtain a portion of this small supply is dreadful, and the North Beach is covered with hundreds, waiting with the faint hope of being at last fortunate enough to reach its door. Many European gentlemen are seen mingled with the crowd, endeavouring to procure grain for their servants, which, after having succeeded, the difficulty of carrying it away in safety is considerable, as the right of the strongest, the only law of necessity, seems universally acknowledged. Some few merchants are dealing out their stock of rice scantily and secretly during the middle of the night, to avoid the scene of confusion and violence attendant on a public sale of it._ Grain of the worst and oldest description is bought up with avi dity, and many are reduced to subsist on grain; this even is not to be purchased except in small quantities, and at an enor mous price. Several deaths have occurred amongst the lowest order of the natives, which have been occasioned by starvation, and so miserable is their condition that many children have in deSpair been abandoned by their parents. " The inhabitants of Pondicherry, we regret to learn, are also sufferers forAhe want of food. We can now no longer in dulge the expectation that a fall of rain may yet save the har vest of the coming year, as we understand from those acquaint ed with the subject, that the crops are already destroyed ; we however sincerely hope that plentiful supplies from Bengal and the Northw ar d, w ill soon reach this port, to obviate the distress ing effects of a scarcity which presses so severely on all classes of the native population. " DECEMBER 25, —O n M on d a y night a vast multitude as. sembled in the Bl ac k T own, and procee d e d t o bre a k o p en some of the rice stores b e l ong i ng to nat i ve merc hants, whi c h were plundered, and much grain carried off: Guards of nati ve troops were sent t o protect property o f t hi s description. The mob, however, behaved in the most daring and outrageous manner towards the sepoys, while the latter, we understand, acted with the greatest forbearance,' under very trying circum stances: two of the mob, ho w ever, are reported to be wounded, and one killed. it is ima , rined that not less than 100,000 per sons were collected." The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty bare determined, th at i n future Ambassadors t o tlie different Courts shall be conveyed aboard in a vessel fitted expressly for that purpose, instead of employing frigates on that service, as has been the practice of late years. The Herald, formerly the Termagant, has accordingly been commis sioned at Portsmouth for this express purpose by Capt. 11. J. LEEKE, and Mr. JOHN SUEA is ap pointed Purser, EAST INDIA SHIPPING. I.

SIR HENRY lIARDINGE.—The Durham County Advertiser of Saturday last, contains the following article : " We, have heard with great satisfaction, of a letter written by his Royal Highness the COMMANDER-IN-CIII.EF, to our worthy Representative, Sir HENRY HARDINGE, expressing his Royal Highness's entire and unqualified approbation of his highly honourable and gentlemanlike coliduct in the recent unjustifiable, attempt of .Mr. BATTIER, late a Cornet in the 10th Hussars, to fasten aquarrel on him. His Royal High. ness states, that had Sir H. Hardinge acted otherwise than as he did, it would have been in direct disobedience of his express commands, and would have incurred his serious displeasure; adding, after perusing the statement confirmed by Col. Wes tern's signature, it would have lowered the credit of that pro fession which his distinguished services and gallantry in the field had so eminently upheld, and that by continuing to treat with contempt any intrusion on his attention, he will best con sult the credit of the service, and best support a character which is too well established to risk being affected by the failure of any attempt by Mr. Battier, or by any other person disposed to advocate his cause, (if indeed any such could be found after his own exposure of his conduct), to provoke him to abandon a course which it has been his Royal Highness's duty to pre scribe to him. The letter is dated Horse Guards, 25th May, 1824, and signed " Frederick, Coßimander.in-Chief."—We have been induced to notice this most highly flattering testi mony of the meritorious con d uc t of our gallant Member, from an assurance that it will afford infinite satisfaction to every person of honourable feeling and principle ; and we sincerely hope Sir Henry Hardinge will long, very long enjoy that confi dence his gallantry and approved good conduct so justly merits. FATAL OCCURRENCE.—On Sunday five young men embarked from Bognor in an open boat to visit the Light Ship stationed on the Owers Rocks, off Selsca Bill, being about 11 miles from their place of departure. On their return the boat upset at nearly midway from the Owers to the shore. The Albina, a sailing boat belonging to J. Clark, Esq. of Bognor, was the first to discover the accident, and crowded all sail to wards the spot; but being four miles distant, she could only come up in time to rescue one man, named Potts (a driver of a London van ), from a watery grave—four others had perished : their names are Pollington, Sharer, Binstead (a bricklayer), and Smith (a groom to Lord Arran). From the survivor's account, this catastrophe was owing to one of the deceased attempting to climb the mast to hoist a colour, which at once turned the boat keel upwards. Four succeeded in gaining the keel, whereby three hung till exhausted, and then disappeared. The owner of the boat sunk at the moment of the accident: The bodies of all the sufferers were taken up on Tuesday, when their relations hastened to claim them. This heart-rending sight may be imagined, but it baffles description. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD. The pi ice of the 41b. Loaf is stated at 101d.Ity the full-pri° 4 ' d i bakers.
