THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Mornsng Papers, Jan. 21. [NEW TIMES:2 After the breaking up of the Privy Council wilich was held on 'Monday at Brighton, a 'Mes senger was immediately dispatched to Hertford Gaol with a respite for Hunt for one week. W e trust that this guilty wretch will make every possible amends to the offended laws of God and •rnan, and entitle himself to a ,further extension tiVthe • Royal mercy, by a full developernent of alt his' past crimes : and we do indeed hope that a course will he pursued it awakening him to a due sense of his guilt and of his duties, very dif ferent from that which was followed with respect 10 - Thurtell. The followin , 4 remarks by a re spectable and judicious correspondent will be found worthy of serious consideration ;e this priint of view, more especially by those to c. horn the spiritual instruction of Hunt is committed " In common cases it is esteemed an essential branch of the ministerial office to urge on the sufferer the imperative duty of a full and ample confession ; but in the case of Thurtell it seems- as if the parties who approached him were struck as be fore some superior being. I cannot doubt but that Thurtell, by some false reasoning in his own mind, was induced to regard his crime as more venial than other murders ; and the guilt of his horrid deed, I Lar, was never fully impressed on his mind ; for I cannot separate in my ideas true penitence from deep humility ; and a truly humbled heart is disposed to make every reparation for injuries committed. He should have been urged in amost solemn manner to disclose all he knew of the atrocious villany of others, and to state fully his own conthict. so 11 to . prevent much evil being hereafter done by his survivors in sin, and - so as to give to the world an acknowledgment that he suffered justly for the crime for which he was com?c:nned." There is' ome pa . rt of the dreadful transaction which has never- vet been cl..ared up, and on. which true penitence may indUce Hoot, and would most certainly have induced Thurtell to have made a full disclosure. We allude to the money which Wpnre was known to be in the constant habit of . carrying about his person, and which there can be little doubt but • that one," if not all, the guilty parties obtained. Even if Thurtell attempted to defraud his associates in that respect, there may be many circurns,tances within the, knowledge of Hunt which ma ;y lead to a discovery of the truth ; and it is the bounden duty of the Chaplain of the prison to represent to this mart, :now lying under sentence of death, that his silence may be the means of keeping that property from its lawful owner—the sur vving brother of the murdered man. IMORNfNG CHRONICLE.] The Holy Alliance have at length ro7iseti a spirit which they will find it difficult to cpell.— They are not now at issue with an ignorant Priest- . ridden population, driven by excess of suffering to revolt against their oppressors, but with minds still enthralled by the prejudices of ages of bigotry and superstition, and therefore ready to desert those who devoted !hem elves to their cause on the first trying conjuncture. The North Americans are not a people nor.ed under Inquisitions,---they have' not been accustomed from their infancy to walk by the leading strings of Fath4r Confessors—they are the descendants of the most_ determined enemies of Priestcraft and7 - Tyranny that this country ever produced, and they have inherited all their spirit improved by the liberaiity of modern times. With such a people, then, have the Holy Alliance now to con tcnd.. Emboldened hy ther successes, achieved by . this aid of Priests and degenerate Nobles, they . have - put forth pretensions which they are unable to make good, while to recede from them will be attended with disgrace. But they must recede. Against the union of England and the United States they will be impotent, arid that there is the best understanding between the two greatest Maritime Powers in the World is un doubted. (THE TplEsl A. letkr from Lloyd's, ;which we have pub lished THE SUN of yesterday), will attract the notice of commercial 'men ; and those whose interests are served by it, if any such there be, will ,find, no doubt, sufficient room for extolling the liberality of the French Government. t appears by tbi , coium,lnicatiou, that the Govern ment in -question his undertaken to indemnify• " the merchants" for Ltny losses than have been sustained froM Spanish privateers during the Irate war—not only the sums insured in France, but these also insured in England, amounting in the whole, as is asserted, to about 320,000/. We are a little p erplexed concerning the quantity praise to which the French Ministry are on this occasion entitled. The. parties froth whom the thanks are due it is no easier matter to specify. English merchants, it is obvious, have shadow of obligation conferred upon them, because, neither in ships nor merchandize of any sort was British property a sufferer from the privateers of Spain. It is scarcely to be pre sumed, on the other hand, that French mer chants would send goods or or vessels to sea, on the eve of a War with Spain, or duriiig its progress,. without covering them by an insurance against capture by the enemy. In that case, therefore, " the merchants " wanted no indemnification : they came upon the underwriters, and there was ats end of it. And is it this latter class of specu-' lators. who are so, tenderly regarded by the French ,Government? If so, there never was' a more sentimental passage in any. romance of M. de Chateaubriand than this same official notification ; because we will venture to say that no underi4riter, French or English, ever dreamed of such a styptic for his losses, having already taken care, by demanding increased premiums on all shipping exposed to the risks of war, to secure beforehand a fair indemnity for such as might he actually captured. There may have been vessels, by some strange chance, insured against "the dangers of the sea" alone, ,and not against an enemy. In that case, of • course the merchant ~vould have no claim upon the under writer, should a Spanish privateer make prize of the ship. If such be the nature of - the losses to be made good .by the Government, it is no more than the bounden duty of those who plungedinto the war, towards those 4ho suffered by it, after having earnestlY petitioned against it. The cries of the French' commercial interest against .the Spanish invasion . still„ . sound in the ears of their Cabinet ; and the moment is well chosen for this parade of munificence—being the e ve of a general electioo, and of a septennial chamber. [BRITISH PRESS.] One of those attempts but too frequent in this day of imposture and credulity has been made on the money market within a few days, in the specious shape of a Greek Loan. The would-be contractor is the holder of the last Poyais. One would have supposed that the very name of " Mosquito," with the swarm of buzzing wretches whO were attracted round it to cheat and plunder the unwary, would have been enough to damn every future attempt at imposition of this sort ; but unprincipled auda city can attempt anything where there is the re motest prospect of gain. For ourselves, after the strictest inquiry, we do not believe that the Sclavonian and Greek (or pretended Greek), Mr. Hendrik's deputies, have any authority what ever to contract this loan. But what expedients will not fraud or necessity resort to ? Juvenal says, of old— • Grmulus, esuriens, in eceluin jusseris, ibit ;" and this is a desperate flight of the same descrip tion. It is yet a question whether even a regu lar loan; sactioned by the Greek Congress, would be taken until the government of that country Is more settled ; but a loan to the present agents in the market would be a risk indeed. Mr. Hendrik's loan was brought out at the modest sum of 40. We should consider the in dk7idual a fit subject for a strait-waistcoat, who would take a single Bond at one-half that price. The real deputies from the Greek Con gress, who come authorized to treat for a loan, are now on their way to this country, having touched at Corfu. Mr. Bowring holds the only authentic document, authorising a loan in the name- of Greece, and this barefaced at tempt at imposition must give him great pain. —The mock loan has, as yet, had no success vr.hatever, and will we trust, be scouted .with indignation in the money market. It is calcu lated only to entail ruin on those who engage in it to any amount, and bring down unmerited op probrium on the Greek nation. But loans are the bubble of the day ; we shall yet hear of one, we suppose, for Terra Incognita, or one of the Otaheitan islands, taken by some worthy con tractor, for the descendants, perhaps, of Adams, the mutineer from the Boutay. Nothing appears too gross to be swallowed at present. This last speculation is a precious attempt on dupes who van shut their eyes and be plundered by specu lators at noon-day. [MORNING POST.] Some of the French Papers assert that the " futurity" of France depends on the result of the approaching elections, and this opinion, though expressed by the Liberals, seems to have met with the assent of all parties. Hence their efforts to which gi veto slay that ressuulitt theirtl t ec r u esp lia e r ctv shapeie tei in and .es c t o s: i are great and incessant. The object is no longer, • with Ow one to hold divided sway with the Government, through the means of an active and powerful opposition in the Chamber ; and with the others to securesuccessive majorities for the measures which they may c h oosy to pro pose. Both sides are eager to b r i ng the quest i on . between them to an issue, but such an i ssu e .as will prevent all future struggle, by i„fi ct i ng p c s. 7 litical annihilation on the defeated. For this purpose they are collecting all their strength, but their weapons are not equal.• The Liberals have the sense and the wishes of the nation in their fa vour: the Ministers have its fears, in addition to the almost boundless authority which they derive from their situations. Those fears a re not excited by the dread of future revolutions, but by the experi ence of the persecutions to which those who dare to express an opinion and still more to do an act hostile to the existing Administration are ex posed. Nero matters allowed to stand on a fairer footing, and the Government to content itself with exerting the influence which it legally possesses, without descending to menace, decep tion, and the most flagrant irregularities, even then from the peculiar nature of the Election Law, the nation would have but a feeble chance of calls ing her voice to be heard. As it is, she appears to us to have none at all. The only arm of which her champions hare not yet been deprived is argument. But , why — are they allowed to speak and to utter what one might conceive to be the most rousing and convincing things Because the Government are aware that they produce no new feelings in the people—that; they only say what is generally thought, and that . instead of creating a fresh conviction, they only re-echo that which exists, and against' which such measures have been taken as disarm it of all possible danger. Some of these we have already described, af:d we have shewn that they were of the most dishonest.and unjustifiable kind. Pri vate letters have since supplied u 5 with details of past and present manoeuvres of which use had no idea, - and which tho Ugh ealCulated to excite the disgust of every friend to national liberties, are at the same time curious specimens "of the manner in which the Representative system is understood and carried on in France. [MDItNINEI HERALD.] The Frencl; Ministerial Journals have become somewhat more reserved on the subject.of South America. The menaces of re-conquering the Spanish . Colonies are much more sparingly and faintly thrown out even by the indiscreet organs of the Ultra pdrty. Thispioves little, and would be a very fallible grOund . for reasoning or infer . - ence. It it proves or suggests any thing, however, it is the direct contrary of whaiappears on the face of it.—The More safe and . fu-.1. conclusion would be, that a further advance has been made to wards the resolution of subduing these new states, and'reducing theth to the original condition of dependence.—At the very moment when the, French MinistrY had resolved to invade Spain, the French MiniSterialjournals talked of peace, with a studied' and hollow affectation—and even tht. French Ministers were giving pacific assu Tarkes to the Ministers of this country. But there are other strong reasons to apprehend that thii object wi!l be undertaken by the allies of King Ferdinand. It seems to result from the sort of contest, which has prevailed in the world for some years, and which was expressed with pre cision and frankness in a former speech of the North AmeriCan President. He said the con test was between the monarchial'and democratic principles—in fact, between what may be called liberalism and absolutism. Every body has ob served and must remember that the former gain ed ground for a day—not only in the new world, hut in Spain, and in the two extremities of Italy. The tide of success, however, soon turned, and liberalism has yielded in these countries to abso• lutism.. Now is it likely that the victorious party will stop !:ere, and leave its adversary but half vanquished—its work incomplete ? It is true that this may be dictated by wisdom and modera tion. But prudence and moderation rarely at tend success—and are most improbable in the Councils of those who threaten the Americans. Forbearance is not to be calculated on from par ties flushed with a rapid and easy conquest al ready. What may be the result is another and a doubtful question. After the experience of recent events, it would be rash to anticipate, with any confidence, the failure of the invaders. Spain, a populous kingdom, with many obstacles of nature opposed to an invading army— with motives to resistance which are among the strongest—national honour, freedom, and in dependence—yet Spain has fallen prostrate al most without a struggle. It is true that corruption and treason have bad a - great share in the issue. But are not the same means capable of being brought into action in America ? One of the most doubtful, and by far the most interesting point is, what course the Government of this country is about to take. If a reliance be placed on the language of a Ministerial Evening Paper, there could be no second opinion. It recently threatened the Allies of Spain, in a mandatory tone, with not only interference, but direct force on the part of his Majesty's Ministers, if any thing should be attempted against the inde• pendence of South America.

On Wednesday evcaing, the 9th of July; a Meeting of the Asiatic Society was held at the Society's Apartments in Chou ringher—the Hon. J. H. Harrington, Esq. President, in the Chair. Captain Nicholson, Dr. Mundt, Mr. Ainslie, and' Captain Burney, proposed at the former Meeting, were elected Mem bers of the Society. A letter was read from the Secretary to the Horticultural So ciety, and another from the Secretary to the LinnEean Society, acknowledging the receipt of the 14th Volume of the Re searches. Extracts from Letters from, H. T. Colebrooke, Esq. in Lon don, dated the sth of November, the 12th of February, and the 6th of March, announcing the preparation and dispatch of the Index to the 14 Volumes of the Researches; and forward the Prospectus of the Asiatic Society of Great Britain. A letter was read from Mons. Casanova offering to qualify a native to prepare casts in plaster of Paris from the specimens of original sculptUre in the Society's Museum. Mons. Casanova submitted• a specimen, and the thanks of the Society were voted to him. The consideration of the subject was referred to the Committee of Papers. A letter was read from Dr. Wallich, presenting to the Museum, in the name of Professor Reinhardt, and in behalf of the Royal Museum of Natural. History at Copenhagen, 14 spe cimens of stuffed birds, inhabitants of the north of Europe, and preparing to send further supplies in case the Society should consider them acceptable, and feel disposed to acknow ledge them by similar presentations of duplicate specimens in zoology and mineralogy from their own collection. The fol lowing is the list of the Birds :-1. Picus Viridus. 2. Lanius Minor. 3. and 4, Tarus Critatas. 5. Accentor Modularis. 6. and 7. Alanda Cristata. 8. and 9. Loxia Coccothranstes. 10. Turdus Merula. 11. Charadrius Marinellus. 12. and 13. Gallinula Torzana. 14. Anas Histronica. It was resolved that the thanks of the Society be presented to Professor Reinhardt, and the Superintendent of the Museum be authorised to select any spare duplicate specimens of the description required, and forward them through Dr. 'Wellich to be Copenhagen. With referents to a former resolution of the Society directing a similar donation to be made to the Museum in the University of Edinburgh, and never enforced, the Superintendent of the Museum is also to take measures for carrying it into effect at earliest convenience. A letter from Professor Fraehn, of Petersburgh, presenting to the Society the following publications :- 1. Description of the Potosian Cabinet of Oriental Coins, Latin. 2. An Essay on ancient Bulgharian Coins, ditto. 3. A general description of the Cabinet of Oriental Coins in the Imperial Academy of Science at Petersburgh, ditto. 4.

Bayley, Esq—Vice-President, containing 'observations on Inscriptions found at Rajoo in Chutteesgurh, and present ing opies • and translations. Mr. Jenkins also transmitted a small box with three copper plates united by a ring of the seine metal, with a seal embossed. The plates and Aignet bear inscriptions in a character which none of the Brahmins of that part of the country are able to decipher, and which seems quite distinct from that of any other inscriptions which have been hitherto foand in Chutteesgurh. The copper-plates are on ly lent as the Poojaries of the Temple to which they belong are not willing to part with them altogether. It appears that about forty years ago Bombajee Blioosla, who then ruled in Chutteesgurh, gave the pergunnah of Rajoo into the civil charge of a Mahratta chief named Hurwuntwn of Rajz i 00, Muharick, began person ncoming to reside in the to and that some workmen employed to dttohigabtufo this irld a house there, stones to aid the building came upon one at the depth of five or six feet, beneath which these plates were discovered. As the spot was contiguous to the principal temple of Ram_ thun d er , generally known by the name of Rajoo Lechun, Maharie thought that the plates might be a record belonging to it, and accordingly deposited them in the temple, where they have since been preserved. R a joo is a town situated on theright bank of the Mahanud dee at the junction of the Pyres with that river about twenty seven miles to the South of Rvpore. At the present nay it is celebrated for the temple of Rajoo Lotabun, and for an annual Jattra and fair of fifteen days held in honour of that Deity, commencing on the Magh,Shood Poornumee sad ending on the Magh 'Wadh Choudamee. The image of Ramehunder, in the temple, is said to be about four feet high, of black stone, land faces the West in a standing posture. It has four arms holding the four common emblems of the ,Skunk, Chuke, Guda, and Pudma. Garura as usual faces the god in a posture of devotion, and behind him .on a separate terrace are images of Hunoomanand Juggutpaul. Between these two figures is a door-way beautifully sculptured with the representation of Nagas entwined together in endless folds. This door-way leads to two modern temples of Mahadeo, and a third behind them is attributed to the wife of an oil-seller, respecting whom there is a popUlat story connected with an ancient image of Rajoo Lochun which makes her contemporary with Juggutpaul. Two of the ancient inscriptions above mentioned are on the walls of the temple of Ramehunder. The Poprjaries of the temple are called Pundehs, and state themselves to be •Raj poots of the Byse tribe, although they say that the worship of the temple was confided to their ancestors ,by Juggutpaul, who, according to the inscription built or consecrated it in 796 Sum but or 1084 years ago. The village of'Bhalmullee is mentioned in the inscription as having been , assigned by _Juggettpaul for the support of the temple. The ordinary, annual -ceremonies performed at the temple of Rajoo Lochun are according to the Poojaries, the Ootsao of the Ramnuomee which continues nine successive days'in eChyte ; the RuChootsao, in Akhar Shood Wooj, (this is performed by the Byragees); the Junum Ash tumee in Bhadeon ; the Parwa, or the day of the Dewallec in Kartick ; and the Phool Dal inPhagoon. The Pooranick of the temple of Ramehunder has no Kehuttre Muhatma, or sacred history of Rajoo, but he believes it is to be found at Benares. Rajoo, the Pooranick adds, is known to this day, among the Bramins of Orissa, by the name of Kumulkshuttre, and among•thoSe of Benares by the name of Pudmupo3r. The three appellations of Kumulk shuttre, Pudirimeore, and Rajoo Lochun, have reference to the Lotus, and the first issaid to have been given by Brahma Deo. The image in the temple is said to have been lost, and after the lapse of ages, to have been recovered through supernatural means, from a woman of the Tcllee caste, who degraded it to the purpose of giving weight to an old mill. The discovery was made in a dream to Juggutpaul, and the image is that now existing in Rajoo, as re-established by that Rajah. The Ruttonpore family are generally believed to have reign ed for many generations over all Chutteesgurh, and some of the neighbouring districts. Thera is a Sanscrit inscription acßutiLipore, dated 915 Sunibat, which contains a list of nine Rajahs in the order of succession from father to son, including th e one by whose order the inscription was engraved. Mr. Jenkins has transmitted a list of all the numerous in scriptions that have been found in Chuttesgurh and on its borders. They appear to be of a highly interesting characters, and well worthy of further investigation, but for that purpose it will he necessary to secure fac-similes of them. fhe Se crets! w a s requested to • communicate; with Mr. Bayley and Mr. e-n!tin3 re.specting the most convenient mode of preparin g them. FOR THE SUN. PETWORTH. This is a market town, situated about 50 miles from London, and 14 from Chichester. It has many good and substantial houses, and a hand some market-house, built by the Earl of Egre mont ; but the streets are narrow, and very irre gular. Within the church, which is a large and a neat structure, are interred many of the cele- - brated Percies, Earls of Northumberland ; but the chapel, which contains these remains and those of the Egremont family, presents no monu ments deserving of notice, with the exception of two ancient tombs, both of which are, however, mutilated. The weekly market is on Saturday : it is well supplied : and there are two annual fairs; one on Holy Thursday, for horned cattle and the other November2Otli, for sheep and hogs, The Manor of Petworth - being an appendage to the Honour of Arundel, was given, along with the latter, to William (le Albini, who subse quently married Adeliza, widow of Henry I. Albini was induced by his Lady to settle this Lordship upon her nephew, Josceline of Lou vaine, who, marrying the heiress of William de Percy, assumed the sirname of her family, and. was the progenitor of the celebrated Percies„ Earls of Northumberland. Upon the extinction of this noble family, the estate devolved by mar riage to Charles Seymour, Duke of Somerset, by second daughter it was carried into the family of Wyndham, subsequently created Earls , of Egremont, and regularly descended to the present noble proprietor. PETWORTH is chiefly remarkable . for the mag nificent zeal of the Earl of Egremont. It stands close to the town,- the back-front opening into the church-yard, and the . access to .it is little promising. It was erected by the Duke of Somerset upon the site of the ancient mansion, and was considered at the time as one of the best modelled houses in England. The suite of apart ments on the ground floor is very noble, and all the rooms ar e fill e d w ith paintings be some of the best masters ; among which, several portraits by Vandyke, and some paintings by Sir Joshua Reynolds, are particularly deserving of notice.— The rooms are richly furnished, and are orna mented.with many beautiful inlaid tables, of va rious sorts of marbles. Adjoining the house is a gallery, filled with antique statues, the greater part of which are valuable in themselves, though somewhat disfigured by the modern repairs,. which the mutilated condition in which they were chabut which indispensable,rthy of the i p la u % r .en s o e t d be re e t n id d e o re n t e l inarnannerw originals. In the gallery . is a beautiful marble group,. representing the well-known and-affecting story of Celadon and Amelia. The hall and. staircase are spacious, and finely painted. The front of the house towards the park, being of free-stone, and ornamented with statues and vases, on the top, forms one long unbroken and magnificent range, having twenty-one windows in each story. But much of the general and strik ing effect this noble front might have otherwise produced, is destroyed by the too sudden ap proach to it, which makes it appea r too long and. too uniform. This defect might have been avoided, had an avenue led to the house; hot this the nature of the ground, rendered almost impossible. The park is very extensive, the wall being. about twelve miles in circumference-. In front of this mansion is a sheet of water, sprinkled with small woody 4.!ets,formed at-an expence of not less than 30,0001. Thk park, which is well • stocked 'with deer, and contains much noble tim- • ber, is finely broken into hills and dales, and . commands delightful views of the downs of Surrey and of Sussex, and of the surrounding country. In this park, much cattlnis fattkled and the present noble proprietor deserves the thanks d l t e o ss im fo p r ro t v h e e t a h t e te b u r t e i eodit and .. o th f 'i c i a iel : x t s l F e 'oe , fnct ti t ia eh n for the liberality with which he has excited the emulation and industry of his tenants. • COURSE OF EXCHANGE, January 20: Arnsteidem Ditto, at Sight Rotterdam ) 2 4 Antwerp l2 5 Hamburgb Altona Paris, 3 Day's sight 25 65' 0 Us.
