Tura LONDON JOURNALS'. I)A ILY Extracts from the - 411 - or7iing Papers ) Dec. 15. [MORNING Isom] We almost feel it necessary to apologize to our readers for adverting to the absurd rumours, which have obtained something like serious at tention, respecting the public uffairs of the coon try, and the Ministry which directs them. It is inconceivable to us how any thing like alarm can grow out of a special mission to a foreign Court, having the express object of settling a question s hich has so long been open without the slightest dunget to the amicable relations of the two etn- Ores. rJut then the diplomatist is one of high rank and character—ergo—difficulties are expect ed to arise ! If, like these short-sighted alarmists, we looked no further than the mere question of boeedary, we should tell them that the self-same point has been discus: , ed and arranged between Russia and the United States, while Mr. Stratford Canning was the British Minister resident in America,—and, for that reason alone, be was the most competent eegociator whom the Govern ment could appoint upon the subject. But are are there no other reasons why the British Go. venanent should desire to. have a distinguished Statesman at the Court of St. Petersburgh ? If the regenerated heroism of Greece has triumphed in the field and on the seas, there are other battles which valour cannot fight, nor patriotism win. The next achievements for the liberties of Greece must be in the Cabinet—and joy fully do we -hail the name of Canning as con nected with their supervision and protection. We confess that we are not at all surprised at the anxiety of the public upon the mere sugges tion of the Earl of Liverpool's retirement from office. The loss of so touch talent cud integrity, and at a time when the growing happiness and gratitude of the country are the daily monuments of his official career, would, indeed, be a na tional affliction. if there were cause to appre hend such On occurrence, none would be more forward than ourselves in lamenting, or in trying to avert it. But nt present there is none. [:taw TIMES.] The German Papers assert positively, that a Treaty of Commerce has been concluded between the Grand Dukes of Besse and Baden, which not only enunciates in its preamble principles ex tremely favourable to the freedom of trade, but in the subsequent articles makes a practical up plication of those principles to the commercial relations of the two e,'►wuutries. It is gratifying to us, as Englishmen, to reflect that our own country has in this instance, as in so many others, set the example of an enlightened liberality ; but it is still more gratifying to us to tied that the clear views and just sentiments which iris Ma jesty's Ministers have declared in the British Parliament, lintd their vsay into the Cabinets of Contiuental Sovereigns, and are admitted and acted upon by the best informed Statesmen in those countries. It is stated that the Courts of. Baden and Hesse have applied to the King of Wurtemberg, who has in consequence opened negociations with the King of Bavaria, for the extension of the same principles of free trade.— During the lust. year conferences were held at Darmstadt, wherein this subject was fully handled ; and the Ministers of Baden, Hesse, and Nassau maintained the cause of free trade.--- At that time the Bavarian Govern►ent resolutely adhered to the system of real Eutrepots, with heavy duties paid on the frontiers. It is now hoped that Bavaria will relinquish her ad herence to these vexatious regulations, and will adopt the more beneficial system of the Grand Ducal Courts. [Tut: PUBLIC LEDGER.] Another Cabinet meeting was held yesterday ; and a host of rumours, nearly as formidable in point of . number as the recent meetings of the Ca binet, were put into circulation in the course of the day. it was said in the first place that se rious differences prevailed between this country and Russia ; and that political wizard, The Courier, saw a confirmation of this rumour in the appointment of so distinguished a diplomatist as Mr. Stratford Canning-to the embassy in Russia. The new Ambassador is a very clever and sensible man, but us to his eminent qualifications they were, we believe, unknown tilt our sapient. con temporary discovered them. 11is nomination be sides was announced in the Cuzelie a consider able time since, and cannot therefore be connect ed with any recent cause of dispute between the two countries. Moreover 04 mission is not an extra ordinary one,as has been stated by several Papers ; and, as to the pretended dissentious, it would re quire more than ordinary ingenuity to make out even a plausible pretext, particularly as has left the settlement of her differences . with the Porte to the mediatory offices of our Govern ment. At the ,same time, the terrible calamity, that has just befallen the capital of the Russian empire, would divert the mind of the. Emperor, for some time at least, from ambitious pursuits, with whatever ardour it might have followed them previously ; and, besides, this would be the first time that the beginning of winter has been selected by the Russian Government for and military undertakings ! But our newsmongers never stumble at such trivial objections. • EmonNtNo. nEttArm.) Sunday's rads Papers arrived last night. Tiw courtiers of the Tuileries have been thrown into two very serious alarms lately. The first occa sion was the breaking out of tire in a wing of the :Palace ; the second an escape which the Duke of Angouleme has had at Fontainbleau. Whilst "nth% in the forest, the deer ran close to the Duke's horse! Oe mentioned the peril he was in with such sang froid, on his return, that. no alarm was excited ;.but the pale looks of his at tendants soon m a d e known the truth, and every face at the Tuiledec . was rtill pale, says the Journal- des Dams, whott the fact was in the act of being recorded in the Journals ! Great efforts are made at Paris to raise a Spanish Lotto, but without success. The hope of giving an air of security to the Spanish Government which should satisfy French and English capitalists, is stated to be one reason for continuing a stronger force of occupation than was originally contemplated. The mockery of summoning the Spanish exiles to return to their country and allegiance, under pain of confiscation of their properties, is as efficient as atrocious an expedient to recruit the Treasury. In the south of Spain, the Clergy and the French are at open ar. The former attack the hit ter from the pulpit, with the utmost audacity, and, in general, with impunity. A private letter from Lisbon denies any, the remotest intention on the part of the Portuguese Government to recognize the absolute independence of the Bra zils. A sort of qualified independence has been offered—allowing a Domestic and Constitutional Government, of which the Prince should be head as Emperor-Regent—but still under the sove reignty of Portugal—and after the Prince's acces sion to the throne of Portugal, Brazil to be then governed by a Viceroy. The Brazilian Em peror, it is stated, relishes this offer. This pro position, already on its way to the Brazils, was shewn to the European Governments. No good result is expected from it. It is not pleas ing to the Holy Allies, and there is no probabi lity of its finding partizans among the Brazilians. The Austrian Government affords an example not merely of the contemptible, but of the blunder ing folly into which a Government falls when it makes .a mean use of its power and governs by spies. Every body read with derision the Im perial Ordonnance excluding Lord Holland and one or two ladies from the Imperial dominions.— An interdict has also been launched against M. Duvergier de Hanronue. But in this the father and son are confounded—and thus both are ex cluded. The son had 1. .en in Italy, and no doubt was denounced by the spies, who, be says, are equally remarkable for their backwardness and avidity. [BRITISH mos.] The shocking state of extreme misery to which the Italian and Spanish Refugees are reduced at the approach of winter, has made, we hope and believe, a deep impression on the sympathy of the public, and we are sure that if a subscription were opened, under proper auspices, enough might be raised to save them at least from perish ing in our streets. The reasons that are opposed to the granting of any fixed and certain allow ance by Government to these unhappy persons, do not in the slightest degree Interfere with the supply of charitable old from the benevolence of the public. The wild and outrageolts despotism that pow rages In Spain would s oon drive from the shores of that wretched country every man who could reasonably hope to find a provision for his wants here, if one were formally and regularly established. —We may be sure, however, that none have arrived in Eng land, under present circumstances, but those whose safety absolutely compelled them to emi grate, and 114 they are not, as it has been said, mere unsuccessful revolutionists, but men of rank, character, and talent, who were called to assist in the administration of public affairs, un. der a lawfully constituted system of Govern. meat, we think they are entitled to some share of the benevolent regard of our countrymen.—A, Correspondent has suggested to us to ask, whe ther the Italian artists and singers, who draw such large sums of money from our pockets, have subscribed towards alleviating the di3tresse, of their unfortunate compatriots ? If these parties have hitherto neglected this duty, they will be obliged to us for reminding them of it, unless, ishicir we do not wish to presume, they are ut terly heartless and profligate. •[MORNING CHRONICLE.] We are glad to find from whvt took place at the Mansion-house yesterday, that the statement of the heart-rending distress of the unfortunate Italian and Spanish Refugees has not been with out its effect. We find we were not. mistaken in calculating on the humanity of the mass of the people, who, in many places; inunediately clubbed their shillings in order to raise ,a sum for the relief of 'the distressed Foreigners. Whatever May be H the faults of the lower orders of this country (and they. have their faults, HO doubt) a want of humanity is not one of them. We wish we could say as much of the higher ranks.— But we fear sympathy with distress is seldom to be found in any country among 'those who 'con ceive themselves in no danger of, ever knowing it from their own experience. A man in perfect health is less disposed to sympathise with disease than one who has himself been chastened by af ilietlaa. In like manner,' the poor man, who, tiering the distressing,periods'when employment failed him (and there are few who have not, at one time or Other, been in this situation,). was agonized by the cries of his famished children, cannot witnes , ; unmoved th e s i g ht o f. a fellow creature sinking unth r the want - of 'sustenance. The rich man ; on the contrary, wishes to remove free.) him, as ftrr as ioisible, ail disagreeable im pressions. Ile conceives that the wealth he has give:, him the right to pl , :lsure witha u t alloy, and Ii v:, , ‘‘s distress as an iti!l'USloll.• When v oiney w a s Grawl fii!nine prevajled; and he fiequentry saw the servants of the rich employed in bastinading the poor,' whose dying groans at their gate's disturbed, - them in their enjoy. nients. 'This' is the reason, why we have always contended for assessments' for the poor, know ing that the rich, in all Countries- where these do not exist, throw' the , stippert of the 'in oft tie class ' are least - able to bear the burden, bet 'w hese sympathy is moSt easily excited. We see, foe instance, in Ireland, the rich exhibit the most heartless insensibility to '• the sulDrings of the poqr. If the Scotch landholder did not know that the law' would step lti t o draw froni him more than he heed' volun tarily centributi , , ~tie shaded then witposs' the sane itidi&r,nci , to distress. When hiS ,Ma esty, or the floir Presumptive, or any of these who give the ton in high life, step for Ward for a benesirlYtnt • Purpose,. then anoth e r prin. Ciple comes inte operation, the desire of-being ire fashion. Here the plan of sympathy is supplied by a deference to opinion. Unfortunately for the poor Italians and Spaniards neither vanity nor fashion are appealed to in their case. We wish some such means of reaching the body of the people, though the places of worship, as we yesterday suggested, could be resorted to. We are certain the Ministers of Religion never ex erted themselves on an occasion which more ur gently demanded their interference. [in TIMES.] There has been a public meeting in the Staf fordshire Potteries, to consider about the intro duction of a Bill into Parliament, for improving the administration of justice in that populous and important district. The debate was principally on the question whether or not the appointment of a stipendiary Magistrate should be provided for as part of the Bill. The majority appeared to be against such a provision —an error in judg ment, as we must beg leave to call it, which, con sidering, first, that it was a shrewd and in telligent body of men who composed the assembly, and next, that the majority consisted of persons who had a direct interest in support ing the rejected proposition, seems to us not easy to account for. A good Magistrate must be one who understands the law which he has to administer, and one who is not susceptible of any bias that might lead him to pervert his knowledge...,ln both these points, it is to us very manifest that a regular-bred lawyer, selected from the profession, will be infinitely better qua lified to discharge the office of a Judge, than the ordinary run of English gentlemen, nut used to the proceedings of Courts of Justice, or to a dis passionate application of the rules and principles of law. The superiority of the Barrister over the Fox-hunting Esquire, becomes a fact even more important in a district like that of the Staf fordshire Potteries,where the greater proportion of differences to be adjusted are such. as arise be tween master manufacturers and their workmen, and where in every instance the dispenser of jus tice must belong exclusively to one of the litigat ing classes, and be governed by partialities and prejudices adverse to the interests of the other. The glare thrown round our Country Justices, by the flashy epithet applied to them of an 46 unpaid magistracy," has led, we fear, to much individual wrong, and to serious political mischief. Of the long list of poacher cases which occur throughout England, how many are there upon which no Country Gentleman of the neighbourhood ought to be suffered to give an opinion, much less to join ie a sentence of conviction or punishment ? Three times out of four, the questions between rich men and those who work for their daily bread ace decided by judges (we mean the country magistrates)'who have, and who must have, a strong fellow-feeling with one of the con tending parties. If this be the case between the landed gentlemen and the peasants, how much more forcible and definite must be the sytn thickly, peopled district,is always a pathy, wh e re the Magistrpte, amtatastrerorsrvymbiuu.t facturer, and where almost all the disputes which come before him are between his brother musters and their men, and where his decision is ever after to operate as a precedent upon similar cases be tween himself and hi, own people ! Accordingly, we find that the argument and common sense of the Staffordshire folkc Wag, as reported in their own newspapers, fearfully against tine appoiut ment—at least the uncontrouiled authority—of c cPotter Magistrates," the grcm th of the neigh. bullring country . Mr. 'W edge w ood, first in the line of manufacturiu g gentlemen, had the taste and in tegrity to declare,that he did not feel himself quali fied to form part of a tribunal before which his own interests were likely to be brought in con flict wit h those of others : hut an honest and sen sible, though uneducated worthy, of the name of Forrester, put the eight view of the subject in half a dozen words-44 Fellow-workmen," cried this native orator, " don't let's ha' ouy potter " Justices, but stypendry, or ony other, afore " them. 1)o your duty—stypendry afore potter." So say we. 'l'l)e late llainburgh Pap e rs c on t a i n an afflict ing article of intelligence, under the date of Hanover, 24th November :—lt is, that nearly three-fourths of the town of Elze had been de stroyed by a.dreadful conflagration; besides the new church, 129 dwelling-houses, and 138 other buildings, asgranaries, &c. became a prey to the deveuring element. By this truly calamitous event 265 Ninnies, consisting of 1,129 persons, have been deprived of their all. The Journal du Commerce states, that the clear gain accruing to M. OUVIIMUD, the Contractor for the. Spanish Army, under his late engagements, is upwards of 56 millions of francs—nearly 21. millions Sterling ! We have been desired to stale (says the New castle Chronicle of Saturday last), that there is no foundation for a report lately circulated in our neighbourhood, through the medium of a public print, that the disputes between the keelmen and the coal owners of the, Tyne, relative to the Spouts erected-on the river for loading ships with coal's, were now terminated by a confirmation of the verdict of.-the Jury on the late.trial atYork, by n Weir these - erections are declared not to be a nuisance. On the contrary, the case having been referred to the Court of King's Bench, it remains yet to be. determined. :The deci , iieb of that. Court is expect e d during the present term,. and will, of course, b e ma d e known in a few days. nomAs NATE Rs , F,, q . of New York, has given a lienefacti on o f fifty pounds to the In• firmary Newcastle-upou.Tyne, of which town he i s a native.

MEMOIRS OF FOUCIIE. ( From the Journal des Derbats. ) TRIBUNAL DE PREMIERE INSTANCE. IN THE MATTER OF TIIE MEMOIRS OF FOUCHE. The cause between the eldest son and the other children of the Duke d'Otranto and Messrs. Lerouge aud Lefevre, first and second Editors of the Memoirs attributed to this person, was heard to-day. M. Gauthier Menars, assisted by M. Amedee Boivin, stated for the inheritors of the Duke d'Otranto, that the Memoirs put forth wore without their knowledge, without authority on their part, and that they formally disavowed them. Acting on this disavowal, it was de manded that the pretended Memoirs, together with the plates from which the impression had been made, should be given up, and that the heirs should be permitted to seize them wherever they might be found ; consequently, he requested the Court, to forbid Messrs. Lerouge and Le fevre to reprint it, and likewise not to print the second part, and he applied for 10,000 francs damages, as well as permission to publish MO copies of the injunction. Lerouge was the Editor, and Lefevre the printer of a work called 44 Memoires de J. Fouche, Duc d'Otranto, ancien Ministre de la Police Generale." The editor of this work had used all manner of artifices to prove that it was really the work that it pretended to be. In the course of the work were notes, pre tending to be those of the editor, contradicting the statement of the author. The preface, as well as the body of the work, attributed to the Duke d'Otranto, was formed with the same view ; these tricks had had such success that the first edition was speedily sold, and a second was ac tually in the press. Advantage had thus been taken of the vacation of the Court. Such a pro ceeding may furnish ample matter for scandal. I will not set the example, said the Advocate, and I will reduce the question to a dilemma. Either the Memoirs are apocryphal, as we say, or they are really the production of the Duke of Otranto, and then they cannot be published to the in jury of the heirs until a lapse of 20 years. It will not be asserted that a manuscript, or any species of literary property, can be transmitted without any formality whatever. Such a transmission can only be made by written autho rity. In fact, however, the writing is apocryphal. The Duke of Otranto left no Memoirs, and he did this from reasons which he communicated to his children. If he had left, Memoirs, his chil -1 dren, for the same reasons, would not allow them to be published. The disavowal is of so much more importance, because in the second part of the Memoirs there is, under the name of the Duke of Otranto, the following advertisement :—" It Is in tl►e same spirit of sincerity, that the second part of these Memoirs is prepared, but I do not conceal that the period is more delicate and more thorny." NVhat an ample harvest of calumnies does this announce ! This must be prevented. Let M. Lerouge compose, or cause to be com posed, seditious writings—let him distribute poison ; but let it be at his own risk and danger. Let him publish these works under his name, and he alone will be responsible for all evil attached to the publication. The heirs of the Duke of Otranto 'mean to give the damages to the poor. This cause is to be resumed on the 18th De. cern ber. (Frow the LONDON CAZETTE, Dec.l4.) BANKRUPTCY SUPERSEDED. E. Wroots and J. Adkini; Great 'richfield-street, Maryle bone, linen-drapers.

FOR THE SUN. EDDA. FABLE XIII—Of the God Frey and of Freya. In the course of time, Niord had two children in his abode of Naotun, and their names were Frey and Freya, and both were beautiful anti powerful. Frey is the most gentle of the gods, and he rules over the rain and the Sun, and over all the things which spring forth from the earth. Belt is who must be invoked to obtain favourable sea sons, abundance, and peace, for he is truly the dispensator of peace and of riches. Freya is the most favourable among the god desses, and the place wherein she dwells in the heavens is called the Union of Nations. Mounted on a horse, she rides forth wherever rages the strife of war, and claims the one half of the slain ; the other half of which belong to. Odin.-- Iler palace is extensive and magnificent, and from it she sometimes issues forth, seated in a chariot drawn by two cats. She lends a favourable ear to all those who implore her aid. From her is derived the name which ladies bear in our gunge. She delights in amatory poems, and it Is proper to worship her, if you wish to be forttinate in your love. Upon this Gengler said :—Great, indeed, is the power which all these gods seem to possess ! and ho wonder that you can accomplish such mighty deeds;* since you are so well acquainted with the qualities, and the particular functions of each of theSe Gods ; and since you likewise know what you should ask of each of them, to enable you to secure the success of your enterprises. But tell me, are there any other Deities besides those y o u have already enumerated ? There is no divinity of either the Greek or • Roman Mythology that bears a n y resemblance to this Frey of the Scandinavians, but Freya, often mistaken for Frigga, is the Venus of the North. From her ladies are called Filler, Freer, in the northern dialects ; and it would teem that they are called Freya in the ancient. Gothic. • The ancient Scandinavians, prevlouslv to the art iyal Odin, were a simple and ignorant race ; turd this circto eue! s!,4lc.t proved no less favourable to the success of the enterpris ba conqueror, than his own abilities, and the valour his tollowers. Amazed at a success which their own ignorance had occasioned, but which it could not comprehend, they sr', to the Court of Odin himself, in the hopes ot there discoverat the cause. Such was the object of Uanglerfs visit. He ?°s learns so many unknown particulars respecting the functiont. of the different Deities, and of the worship which must ba t l to them to secure their protection and their favour,' `le of the imagines he has now discovered the cause of the success for, invaders, and rendered himself capable of balancing the tune of his rival. • 4414 skill or After a very laborious investigation of a lt ' -t he evidence bearing on the case of the murder of Isaactlortn; near Bristol, the Magistrates have fully committed the pFqr 4 t . were itrinkint with the unfortunate man at the Tennis cou% Inn, at Bitton, on thehight of the murder, to Gloucester P o i ' for trial at the nest Assizes, on suspicion of being, thc.erPe-. e trators Of the deed.
