TAIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extraets from the Morning Papers, Nov, 13. [MORNING POST.] We received last night by Express French Pa pers to the lith instant and the Toile of day. They make no allusion whatever to the reported discovery of plots against the life of the King, and state nothing from which it can,even be inferred that any thing extraordinary had taken place. Viscount Chateauhriand, whose hopes of regaining office at the accession of Charles IC have not been realized, has commenced a new and powerful attack against the present Ministers. It consists of a series of letters addressed to a Peer of France, in which the conduct of the Administru lion on every great political question is to be freely discpssed ; and from the manner in which that task is executed in the first letter, which was pub fished in the shape of a pamphlet on Wednesday last, it is evident that the Noble Viscount means to keep his promise. This new production from the discarded Minister is more argumentative than the flowery effusions from his pen have hitherto been, and since be lies ceased to have a hand in the management of affairs he is become wonderfully constitutional. Ilis doctrine how ever is sound, whatever may be his motives for promulgating it, and the following sentiments, it is to be hoped, will continue to regulate his conduct, should he ever be replaced in a situation of public trust and authority. " It would be to mistake entirely the nature of a Repre sentative Government to require that Opinion be silenced. Whatever may be the supe riority of the Monarch, it is necessary that he should be made acquainted with facts. —Where are their Sovereign Courts, Pro vincial States, or Privileged Orders to address humble representations to him ? In his Council, he only hears the arguments of interested parties. In a Constitutional Monarchy there is no other substitute for all the great bodies connected with absolute monarchies, than the Liberty of the Press." 46 Examine, if you can do so without terror, what would be time fate of a people whose institutions should be entirely perverted : a Go vernment nominally a Representative one, the principal spring of which should cease to be public opinion, and which losing all affinity to its own elements, should belie all its doctrines ? What would become of the Legislative Chambers, which serving a Ministry hostile to freedom, should only be engines of oppression, coining money, voting conscripts and printing laws for slaves decorated with the title of Constitutional ?" In this extreme case, however, with the art and flattery of a courtier, the writer suddenly dis covers that " Charles X. would be at hand to rescue his people." [Till: TIMES.] The letters and papers from Lisbon, up to the 30th alt ult., bring us an account of a fresh con spiracy detected, and, it is presumed, defeated Os& the 25th, by the arrest of several persons.— The statements, however, are extremely meagre, as we neither find in them the manes at' the per iitlllll implicated, nor a specification of the object sought.. Suspicion here would naturally lix upon the► party connected with the Queen and Don Miguel ; yet the only conjecture which we find hazarded at the scene of action, imputes to the disaffected the design of forcing the King to fulfil his promise of giving the coun try a free constitution—a design, the success of Which, it is very clear, would not be very agreeable either to her • Majesty or his Royal Highness. An add resss. has been published by the War-Minister, thanking the troops in gar rico') at Lisbon,. and the Royal Guard, for their conduct; and from the document we learn that the conspirators,. or some of them, " were tut cc worthy of the uniform they bad the honour to " wear "—that is,. that they belonged to the military. in another part also, it is said, or peached, that all the• King's subjects, ' 6 however 46 high and distinguished be their rank," owe him equal obedience; from which, perhaps, we might infer, that 801110 persons of 6 ‘ high rank" may 1w implicated. Our deductions can go no further upon any thing like sure ground. The people in London attach no great importance to the matter ; and in the case before theta they may perhaps be right ; but we think that they are sanguine politicians who would fancy the affairs of Portugal settled. A decree of the King of Spain, transmitted from Madrid under date of the 4th inn., shows in what manner constitutional or liberal ecclesi astics are to be dealt with. Their treatment will perhaps, be more gentle than that of Inks, under similar circumstances. We are glad to find there are constitutional priests. The of• fenders in this respect may regain their personal freedom, but they cannot reclaim their benefices. The profits arising from the sequestration, it should seem, are to swell the Sinking-fund.— Thus, it should seem, that the state is plunder. ing the church, even under the Catholic Ferdi• 11(1.—“bid.) [BRITI4II PRESS.] The Lisbon Gazette yesterday brought the sews of another abortive revolutionary movement in that capital; Whether this conspiracy was among the Queen's party, or the adherents of the late Cortes, we cannot leers) ; but we suspect, from the concealment of the names of the guilty, who are therefore probably men of some rank, that the treason was the work of the ultra-roy alist faction, by whom the King's personal safety Was, not long ago, menaced, under the rebellious guidance of the Infant J)on Miguel. This con jecture is corroborated by a statement in th e Mode, that all the officers of one regi ment have been arrested. The mutinous spi rit of the Portuguese military, it is notorious, arose from the intrigues of the Queen's agents, who urged the necessity of the Kin g ' ' , de position, o n the ground that be wants resolu tion to maintain the rights of the Crown. We are glad to find, however, that the military per formed their duty with fidelity, and that the suspected criminals have all been seized and lodged to prison, where they await the course of justice. We trust that no false tenderness towards them will be allowed to operate as an inducement to future traitors to persevere ; but that the doctrines energetically asserted in the Royal Order, issued from the War-Office on the day following the suppression of the con spiracy, will be carried into execution with unsparing firmness against the plotters, whatever may be their station. It will be impossible to establish any system of sound or ratioual govern ment in Portugal, until the utmost severity of the law has been inflicted upon some of the leaders of the party, whose object is to plunge the whole Peninsula into one common mass of confusion and misery, for the purpose of insti tuting a blind and fanatical despotism. This party is powerful, and it has hitherto been dealt with too leniently. No punishment of moment followed the last insurrection. A Government invites resistance that does not seem to dare to punish it. The King of Portugal has shown himself sincerely desirous of promoting the welfare of his subjects by the mildness and liberality of his sway. We hope he will not be advised much longer to defer the promulgation of the Constitutional Charter, by which he intends to fix the political destiny of his suffering kingdom. While he vigorously strikes the disaffected noblesse, who are strongly knitted together by their interests and preju dices, and have ramifications in every province, his Most Faithful Majesty, by contemporaneously laying the foundations of a wise and practicable representative system, would put an end at once and for ever to the treasonable dissensions by which the public tranquillity is violated, his au thority shaken, and his life endangered. [NEW TD4E9.] Some extensive sales were made yesterday in Consols, which opened at 958, declined to 95k, but finally closed at 0.548 for the Account. The intelligence received in the course of the day from Lisbon gave rise to some alarming reports ; one of which was, that a general revolt had taken place amongst the troops. The private letters of the best-informed merchants, however, not only disproved this, but showed that the disturbance was trivial in point of extent, and conse quently the momentary alarm ceased, and Con sols returned to their opening price. In the Fo reign Stock Market French Scrip receded to 12k, and afterwards closed at 131 premium. Pot. tuguese Bonds did not vary above a quarter per cent. in consequence of the intelligence from Lisbon ; and they closed at their previous price 911. There was some extensive business done in Spanish Bonds, which advanced to 22i, the usual reports of a new Loan, &c. being in agita tation ; but the subject appears to obtain little attention, public expectation being exhausted.— Alliance Shares have declined to 14 to 11 pre mium, and in the New Marine Shares the busi ness is but limited. South American Securities remained at the prices of the preceding day. [MORNING CItitONICLE.I A Morning Paper of yesterday, speaking of the letters from Mrs. to Mr. Fuuntleroy, insert ed in The Chronicle of Thursday, says—" We thought that its Editor had had too much hu manity and too much good taste to insert letters of so old a date, and of such a nature, at such a moment of time, and under such circumstances, especially when furnished by such a mail as Parkins." IYe have merely to observe OH dad, that we satisfied ourselves of the genutnettels of the letters before inserting them, that they were not calculated to injure Mr. Faunae roy in the public estimation ; that, on the contrary, they served to confirm some important parts of the statement which the calumnies cir culated against him so assiduously by his enemies, in a public journal, forced him to make in his defence, end therefore had a tendency to obtain credit for other Parts of that statement, and that as the calumnies extended to a period beyond the date of the letters, the oldness of the date is not a valid objection to their publication. In the letters in question, Mrs. Fuuntleroy, so far from reproachiog the unhappy man with his conduct towards her, bears testimony to his kindness of disposition.—" I make a full statement, that you may know the real truth, and hope your kind consideration w ill re lieve me from this . difficulty as you have i n ever y o th er e xig e ncy." She speaks of " his naturally generous mind," and from the expression, 44 both may he wrong," the Inference can only be drawn, that the dill'erences which kept them asunder are of too delicate a nature for others to interfere with. Let it be remem bered that we are removing calumny, and not circulating it. We have no wish either to ag. gravate or extenuate the crime of which the unhappy man stands convicted, but his private relations having been explored for ground of ac cusatioti against him, nothing can be more just than that the same source should be resorted to for a refutation. (MORNINQ Sir William A'Court was not removed from Madrid to Lisbon for the enjoyment of a diplo matic sinecure. There appears to exist in that capital a focus of intrigue and audacity. More than one seditious or insurrectionary movement has been discovered since the memorable affair of the Infant Don Miguel. A still more serious one was detected and frustrated on the 25th of last month. The account of this affair is scanty and vague. Two things, however, are obvious— that the military have been the chief instruments of treason, and that the faction, though de nominated " revolutionary," is not to be re ceived in the ordinary sense of that word.— This faction is one that seeks the establishment of a political and ecclesiastical , despotism—and has been already described as actuated by the Pa triarch and the Queen. But are these the only promoters of the intrigue ? It is much to be doubted. An attempt at insurrection by a fac tionpported and even opposed of this kind -- unsupported by a great majority of the nation, could enter into no person's head. The fact is, that at Lis bon there au Apostolic Junta—as a t m a . drid—and both in communication, not only with each other, but with their friends in Paris. '.lt is further rumoured that the Foreign Am bassadors have—some of them—to do in it.— It is well known that the affair of the Prince Miguel excited great embarrassment in the diplomatic corps. The French Ambassador alone is said—and was said at the time—to have frankly aided the British Minister in suppressing the conspiracy and placing the King's person out of danger. The Russian Minister was very back ward in the matter. It is curious enough to ob serve how readily the partisans of despotism will resort to the very things which they most vehe mently reproach democratic revolutionists with. Corrupting the army and debauching it from its allegiance, is one of the most pernicious accusa tions brought against the Constitutionalists of Italy and Spain. Yet is it the very first step taken by the Queen and Patriarch. In the next place, they affect to treat the King with all man ner of respect, at the very moment when they are plotting to uncrown and dethrone him. But the worst means are sanctified by the end—des potism. Thus unscrupulous is what is called le gitimacy, in the adoption and employment of iti resources. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] `We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday, which, besides other news of considerable interest, contain a brief notice of the new revolutionary plot, which has been just detected in Portugal. Though The Lisbon Ga zette, which arrived yesterday, has taken up the subject at some length, it studiously leaves its readers in the dark with respect to the views and persons of the conspirators. It also omits to mention in what manner the plot has been discovered ; and whether it has been revealed by the vigilance of the Police, or the impatience of the conspirators, is left a complete riddle, for any information furnished by the official organ of the Portuguese Govern. ment. However, we should imagine, from an obscure hint which appears in The Gazette, that the design was not known to the Public Autho rities, till it exploded, and that the explosion consisted in some military tumult. In the French Papers, it is said, that all the Officers of one regiment stationed at Lisbon were arrested in the night between the 26th and 27th ult. ; and, as the conspiracy was detect ed the night before, we should suppose that the Officers had called out their regiment; but that either the men refused at first to take any part in the criminal attempt, or had hesitated when they were summoned to act. The account given in the Gazette admits of both constructions ; whilst we incline ourselves to the latter, chiefly i►► consequence of the studied obscurity in which the matter is left. Had the troops done their duty, and indignantly repelled the attempt of their Officers to seduce them from their alle giance, there would be no necessity for reserve on the past of the Government ; but a full ex posure would, in all probability, have been sub stituted, and with some ostentation too. It is true the conduct of the troops, generally, is praised in the Order of the Duy, issued by the Minister of War ; and still one regiment may have acted criminally, though it would seem that by a quick return to duty it has evaded the penalties, PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. ( From the Liverpool Courier, Nov. 10.) . SLitti.—Ferdittuntl [sin the hands of the worst of advisers. This has been long evident to the world ibut, If any doubt remained, it would be removed by a sanguinary de cree which he has been advised to Issue, under the influence of his monkish counsellors, the lords of the ascendant with him. The only.rule which two classes of' men seem to think possible—the only pole -star of policy, is that of grinding and sanguinary despotism. These are the bigots of papistry, when ' in power, and the radicals and revolutionists of our own and other countries. We see how delightfully they assi milate in Great Britain, when both happen to be in a mi nority, and both are aiming at the violent overturn of the present system ; and when, by affording mutual help to each other to create confusion, though each faction has a peculiar object, they hop e to advance their own in the scram. ble, The papist is not more bitter against the orangetnan than the radical ; and the latter advocates the claims to power put in by the former with as much violence. Both are drawn together by the mutual attraction of hatred to all our existing institutions, and mutually compliment, and toast, and support each other. The association is in truth, odd enough. The ad vocate of all liberty and the enemy of all liberty; the tree. thinking radical and the no-thinking papist ; the scoffer at all religion, the prostrate adorer of all superstition. The readiness of popery to join itself to restless political faction is, in this country, however, no new case. The reaso n i s , t h a t b ot h are out of power, and that attained, the union wo u ld b e at once snapt, and iey would go off in opposite directions in their political career. In power, however, both agree as to the man ner of administration, however different at end. Both are equal enemies to liberty. The monks of Spain and the Jacobins of France agree in this, that their own liberty was all that the latter ever meant, and all that the former will now allow. Both adopt sanguinary measures with the most diabolical coolness, and, whether by a mockery of the forms of justice or by mas sacres, are always prepared to put down opposition. The Sep tembrizers of trance and the assassins of St. Bartholoniew, the' judges of the revolutionary tribunals and those of St. Do minic, are only different speci es of' the same genus ; and, whe ther found in Spain, France, England, or Ireland, kno w no other art of ruling, and, from their very principles and passions, cannot practise any other if they did. We have seen the prin ciple which assimilates them out of power; and their agreeing practice in power has its common principle also. In both cases it springs front the ambition of one cunning faction to trample down and make a prey of the rest, and from the consciousness that the mummeries and pillagings of popery in one, and the tricks and spoliutions of demagogues in the other, must ever meet with resistance from the common sense and common in terests of mankind.

THE DRAMA.--(LETTER IL) MR. EDlTOR—Coinciding as I do, generally, with Mr. LACY'S sentiments on the Drama (and few, I believe,will be found hardy enough to sign— dissentient), I yet object to his epistolary address, " Dramatists of the day," as too general, sweep ing, and undefined a designation to embrace all to whom it is meant to apply. Does it include all dramatic Authors who now walk terra firma, all living writers of Plays ? Or, does it refer to a retrospective period of five, ten, fifteen, or twenty years ? Is the Author of Virginias, and of Cants Gracchus, a modern dramatist ? To this last query, the answer, I suppose, must be in the affirmative. Then, the observations on, and the character given generally to the productions of the Dramatists of the day, viz. briefly, that they are deficient in action, meagre in plot, and re dundant in poetry, do not apply to the works in question. Their action constitutes their chief merit, nor is there ten lines of poetry to be found in either, or both productions.* Not only does the designation of " Dramatists of the day" include all indiscriminately who have written better or who have written worse, but comprises also, in no remote degree, those who may write, but have never yet written at all.— They are assuredly headed with the name of im becile by the generality of the title, because the stigma is attached to the age, not to the indivi dual, and is meant to remain until written off by a succession of talent, who, profiting by expe rience, example, and these our lectures, shall hereafter arise and write better. I am no more of a Critic or a Dramatist than Mr. Lacy. My love for the Stage may, and my admiration of SIIAICSPEARE I am certain does, equal his. Though agreeing with him in essen tials, I yet think his censure loud and indiscri minate, for, be it remembered, in lashing a cer tain class of the Dramatists of the day, he but lashes the card.+ 'l'kat any individual possessed of talent, and with the command of leisure, should ever thi►►k of devoting that talent and that leisure, to writ ing for the Stage, is no matter of surprise and astonishment. A more barren or thankless em ployment, either for profit or praise, he could not well select. Criticism will see, that lie " feeds not fat" on the one, while Managers (to make use of Parliamentary language) will take care that he gets his change out of tl►e other. Objections, unquestionably may be co►►jured up against Authorship of every kind and degree : but, without exaggeration, the difficulties and d►sagreeables that lie in the path of the domestic aspirant, are of a nature to check the ardour and turn the purpose of the most sanguine tempera ment. The catalogue of these, and of the causes of failure, is voluminous. T. enumerate a few— the working out of the tragic vein, or want of material in the mine ; the refinement and fastidi ousness of modern taste ; the overwhelming and deadening sway of criticism ; the size of our pa. tent theatres, better suited to the exhibition of a spectacle or melo-drama than the performance of legitimate drama ; and tile almost hopeless impossibility of introducing a new piece through the medium of the Managers, are amongst the most prominent—awl, to the omnipresence of which, may fairly be attributed, in great mea sure, the departure of genius from our domestic hemisphere. The last is not the least of the difficulties the modern Dramatist will have to grapple with. For I hold it is inaispensible, that every play should first be introduced to the notice of the public through the channel of the theatre. Dramatic poems may as well (much better) assume any other form of poetry, and will lobe nothing by the exchange. It is not in private that Mel peme is to " spit, fire and spout rain ;" but it is 44 on the magnificent sweep of the boards" she is to extend her stride, make faces, and begin.— Managers, therefore, in their official capacity, are invested with almost unlimited command over the writings of dramatic Authors; and, like all ab soluteMonarchs,verge, of course, towards despo tism. This is, iu itself, so intolerable an evil, and militates so strongly against the best interests of the Drama—causing enmities, too often, where friendship should exist—that I mean, by and bye, to suggest a plan for the institution of a Society, who, through the medium of their Committee, shall act as a mediating power between the Belli gerents. To write a tragedy, even of the modern school, is not exactly the amusement of an evening. A plot, and a dramatis persona;, are to be sought after; certain passions of the human breast are to be developed ; interest is to be excited, and a catastrophe awarded at the end of five acts.— Suppose this accomplished—the last polish Is given, the Play copied, and sent or presented to the Manager for representation at his theatre. An answer is promised in a fortnight. The Author is fortunate if he receives one in three months.— At last it comes in a laconic form, accompanying the returned MS., and expressing the regret of the Manager, that it will not suit their establish ment. For be it remarked that Managers, or Committees of Management make it a rule never to comment upon the merits or fitness of a piece for representation, or give reasons for their re. fusal--because, forsooth ! the Play might again be returned to them in its amended state ! Vary prudent and circumspect this in Managers, cer tainly, but not particularly encouraging or grati fying to Authors. The Tragedy i s offered to the other house, and the reply is similar ; and this will invariably be found to be the practice of • Mr. Lacy, to be sure, in a subsequent letter (Vide Lend. yag. for May, 1824) in reply to 4 "rerentius Secundus," says, Besides, Virginias is not, strictly speaking, of the poetic school, though cotemporary with it; there is very little poetry in Virginia:. Virginias succeeds, in great part, by its action anti contructian, thereby showing you how much can be done without the aid of poetry.".—This id sufficient for what 1 have advanced. In the same letter, Mr. Lacy places Virginius, as an actng play, much below the Revenge. " God bellows to groundhog, and groundling to god, that Virginias is not fit to servo Zunga as a mute,"—but of this branch of the subject— more, anon. t C admit my inability to atibrd the reader an explanation of this phrase. (li;tirron.)—Having_ served for ten years during the late war, in a regiment of Local M I ilitia, 1 think may boldly pronounce the phrase to be of military origsti,—in allusion to the practice of regimental drum-boys, who are first taught to exercise their cat..o%nine.titils on that inanimate, un oinuding object—a Card.—(Pit k a.) Managers, unless ninety lines at least out or I hundred of the presented piece happen to meet with their approbation : they will then, indeed, condescend to co-operate with the Author is rendering his production (in their opinion) more worthy of public favour, and its appearance on the boards of their Theatre is forthwith au. nounced. The proportion that accepted, bears to rejected Plays at our patent theatres, I have 110 means of ascertaining ; one, in twenty, I judge to be an average, favourable rather to the lesser number. Meanwhile our Author, disappointed, but not 'depressed, sullen, but not subdued, returns, after a proper interval, again to the charge: — Schooled by experience, and profiting by observa tion, study, and the lessons of criticism, be col lects his resources ;—again, the necessary time is spent upon plot, counter-plot, language, sen timent, pathos, character, action, and final ca. tastrophe ; and again he approaches the dome of the Muse's temple with more confident hopes, more assured expectations, and better defined ideas of suscess. In vain ! Nineteen to two s (betting is fashionable !) the result of both ap plications is equally favourable. The same laco nic reply is given—the same mystery is preserved —no offer of assistance—no pilot's signal thrown out to the Author—no beacon-light disp la y ed, by which he can correct his course and gain the har bour in safety ; but, with cold-bloode d iaditre rence, lie is left in the dark, on a lee -shore, upon a strange coast, to swim, or to founder , as chance or his stars may direct. At this point, commonly' ends the ambitious career of our dramatic aspirant. Chilled by neglect, the dreams of his youthful fancy have now melted into air—thin air! Told* intellectual eye the visions of hope have disap peared ; the sound of " Fame's trump" tingles no longer in his ears ; but in soberness of thoughts with reason at the helm, he perceives he has ,been pursuing a phantom ; relinquishes the pursuit,and stepping aside, plunges into another path eithe . r of literature, pleasure, or business, whereis h the courtship of the haughty Melpomene, a n d slights of her repulsive guardians, are al ik e for gotten. Thus, for want of direction a nd encos• ragement ut the first, i s sensibility and genius t oo often driven from the field. H o w few, comp s- ratirely, start into excellence at one ?
