ON THE POLICY OF RUSSIA►. Europe is evidently destined, at no distant _period, .to witness the eclaircissement of thut policy %villa Rthsia has been so deeply and so constantly meditating, and if the developemeut does not draw after it all the evils of a general war, or at least unsettle the present balance of power, 64 the signs of the times" are little to be depended upon. The obstinacy of the King of Spain secretly kept alive by the influence of Russia, and the hopeless condition of that country under its in• radiated monarch, have filially determined France to withdraw her troops. As soon as the French army is withdrawn, the absence of their whole some restraint will unfetter the vindictive pas sions of those who seek for nothing less than the total annihilation of political opponents : ‘‘ Quos -Deus cult perdere Arius dementat. The system a persecution and terrorism will know no bounds, 110 relaxation, and all the horrors of the French Revolution will be re-enacted; but the excess of vengeance will call into action the paralyzed ef forts of those against whom the powers of the government are directed, and Spain will present to the world an ensaliguined arena of contending factions. France, it is true, by her invasion of Spain, committed a great moral and political wrong, but the conduct of the French during the occupation, apart from the original sin, has been exemplary in the extreme, and deserves the commendation of Europe. If the advice of France had been -followed, Spain might have been gradually re conciled to the re-imposition of her odious go. vernment, and by trillium concessions all ,parties .would have been forced ' into comparative tran quillity. England, though not an active aggressor, con ..curred in the sin of France against a political re- A formation, which for the moderation of its pro. gress and the equity of its promoters, deserved .the forbearance, if not the approbation, of man kind. England, however questionable her jus tice, her policy, and her right to such an inter - ference, threatened Spain with her hostility if any attempt should be made against the personal security of her Sovereign. The threat, undoubt edly, did much to preserve a life, which, for the cause of justice and humanity, one might be al most permitted to regret the Spaniards did not expose on the outworks of the Trocudera to the hottest sire of their opponents. The result has been that the invasion and this false economy of a single life have uncaged the vultures who are feeding upon the stamina Wire of their country. Every thing that is good, great, and honourable, is immolated to the fury of those political harpies. Charles the Xth was not, politically, a party to 'the aggression against Spain, and he can retire from the odious interference with a nation's rights, without c om p rom i s i ng his consistency. The com wencernent of his reign is full of promise ; he is consolidating his sovereignty by yielding to the prevailing spirit of the age, and he will, if he con tinue's his present moderation, and the determin ation to put down 'petty and vexatious tyrannies, gaM the affections of his people, and reconcile to himself the political enemies of his family. The tone of feeling, even of the Republican party, is greatly changed, and in their admiration of the vii toes of the King, they forget the vices of a monarchy which they would destroy. The anarchy which will undoubtedly succeed the departure of the French from Spain will not he uninteresting to Russia, who foresees that France, at no distant period, however adverse to the' measure and the politics of the new Sove reign, will be .obliged again to interfere in the „ internal state of that devoted country, and with an overwhelming force, to put down both the enraged contending factions, who, by the pre settee of the French, have been enabled to esti mate their comparative strength. Spain will however require more than ordinary measures of coercion to arrest the progress of the evil, and to render it effectual the occupation by France must virtually amount to sovereign possession. Thus will be consummated, by the very force of those circumstances to which Great British' has given an impetus, the orOginal object of France, its the celebrated puck de familk, and again un der Napoleon, to impede which, the former made the most strenuous efforts, and sacrificed the most important national interests. Great Britain will have then no other alternative, than that of ,forming in Portugal an army professedly of ob servation, but yet of sufficient force to baffle the intrigues of a powerful party already opposed to her interests, and to stop the further advance of • ranee, whose thirst for military glory and ex . tensive conquest is not satiated, though momen tarily allayed. With France and England thus occupied in watching each other in positions which they dare not abandon to the goad faith or forbearance of the opposite party, Russia will pay no respect to the opinions of the other Princes of Europe, but proceed in the accomplishment of that ambi tion, which her successive Sovereigns have nou rished as essential to the aggrandizement of their empire. Russia knows her game well ; these two movements will secure it, and open the way •to Constantinople. If France should menace .her progress, the barrier of the Rhine, which the folly of the conquerors denied to her wishes, will be sufficient .to silence her scruples, and reconcile her to Russian aggrandizement. The integrity of a coalition between France and Russia would be unimpeachable by the other powers of Furore; A.ustria and Russia have too much occupation in preserving their doubtful empires in Italy, Po : lam!, &c. to meddle with objects not immediately interesting to their own existence ; and the re . maining powers .of the Continent are too insig nificant to avert the progress of Russia for a moment. Greece will eventually .become the maritime a lly, if 4iot the instrument, of Russia, from the mistaken policy of England towards her during -a struggle to'Aisengage herself from a yoke more • oppressive and intolerable than any with which ,Spain has•afilicted her. former possessions, in Ame .rica. The. Government of Great Britain has ~,.thrown every impediment'in the way of that in. Ancible people ) not from attachment to the Otto man Porte, nor from a distaste to the Grecian struggle per se, but because she would not dis member the only power which impedes the farther advance of Russia into Europe. Present circumstances, however, impeach the wisdom of her policy, and demonstrate either the necessity of a change in the system, or an entire submission to the force of events. Russia, with all her professions of peace and moderation in her views towards Turkey, has nothing farther from her intentions. Over the Greeks she exercises a secret but powerful in fluence, which time will make manifest. The policy of Great Britain should have been in favour of the Greeks, if not openly, at least se cretly, by which means she would have attached them to her latent views of offering a maritime barrier to the ambition of Russia. The Archipelago of Greece and its inhabi tants, from their geographical position and natu ral wants, must become eventually powerful in their marine, and they have shewn, in their con tests with the Turks, how efficacious their al. Hance might be rendered to thejirst maritime na tion of Europe in preserving , a. preponderating in. fluence in the Mediterranean, the only channel by which Great Britain van arrest the latent views ascribed to Russia of divesting her of her Indian Empire. Such are the features of that policy which Russia is pursuing to its accomplishment, and in which by perseverance she must inevitably suc ceed. It is vain to calculate, that the discordant materials of which the Russian empire is formed will cause it to crumble to pieces by its own weight. The power of Russia is a brute force capable of any direction, until they emerge from their semi-barbarian state. Before that period shall arrive, Europe will witness an irruption of those modern Goths, not less powerfully in fluencing her mind and manners than that which subverted the Lower Empire. OLD BAILEY. CAPITAL CHARGE AGAINST TWO CHILDREN. This morning Elizabeth Bowesly and Caroline Illolineaux were capitally indicted for stealing six sovereigns and other property, from the dwelling-house of J. Bevistock, of the Broadway, Westminster. Bowesly is 12 years, and Molineaux only 13 years of age. The prisoners, though so young, were on the town, and on the 24th of November last they went into the shop of the prosecutor, under pretence of making a purchase, and while his attention was occupied with a customer, they contrived to steal a box, containing the property. The prisoners denied the charge, and accused Mr. B. with improper conduct towards them. The JUDGE remarked, he never heard of a more shocking case. The lives of the prisoners might be affected by Me verdict of the Jury, who returned a verdict of Guilty, under the capital charge. roitGERY. Yesterday Nathan Penniall, a gentlemanly dressed young man, wa4 indicted for uttering a counterfeit order on Sir John Perring, Bart., Shaw, Barber, and Co. for the payment of VW. 11h4. Ad. well knowing the same to be forged and counterfeited, and with intent to defraud them. The indictment consisted of several counts, one of which laid the property as that of George Capper and Co. Mr. LAW stated the case for the prosecution. The prosecutors in this case were the partners of the respectable banking-house of Sir John Perring and Co. in the city, and Messrs. George Capper and Co. provision-merchants in Crosby-square. The' transaction in question took place on the 23d of November last. The instrument is a check on Sir John Perrin" and Co. pur porting to be drawn by G. Capper and nephew. When the check was presented, the prisoner, upon his being 'questioned by Mr. Matthews, one of the clerks, said he received the check from a Mr. Purdy, of the Commercial Sale-rooms. He then said that he was posting a bill in the Royal Exchange, stating his want of employ, when a gentleman took him to the New York Coffee-house, Sweetings-alley, when he inquired into his abilities, and gave him this check to offer for payment.— At the prisoner's request the parties proceeded to the New York Coffee-house, when it appeared probable that the prisoner had been there in the course of the morning, connected with some transaction or other, as he believed the proprietor of the Coffee-house would testify. The charge was one of a serious nature, anti the question for the Jury to consider was, whether the prisoner had been the dupe of another, or whether he had acted in concert with him to concoct and consummate the in tended fraud. Mr. Oliver Vye deposed, that he is managing clerk to the house of Sir John Perring and Co. On the 23d ult. the pri soner came to the banking-house with a check for 231/. Ills. 6d, drawn by Messrs. Geo. Capper and Nephew, who at that time had cash there. Witness took the check, and some little doubt arising, he placed it on their account, and proceeded to the note . rawer, and took out 2601. He then requested a clerk, of the name of Matthews, to examine the signature, and he pronounced it right at first. While witness was looking for the odd money, Mr. Matthews expressed some doubt, where upon the prisoner was asked whether he brought it from Capper and Co's. He said no; but front Mr. Purdy, of the Commercial Sale Rooms. Witness sent a messenger to Mr. Cappet'a, and detained the prisoner in conversation. He said, among other things, " I am afraid there is something odd about this check." He then said, that being out of employ, he hid ;Oven the Porter of the exchange a shilling to post a bill, but that not being large enough, he wrote another. Wit ness's suspicions were confirmed, and he desired the pri soner to give back the notes, which lie did without any de mur. The witness then • went on to detail the circumstance relative to the prisoner's meeting a person on the Exchange.— In the course of the conversation with witness, the prisoner said that he had lived with M r . Williams, tea-broker, in Jewry. street, and that while he lived there an unpleasant circum stance arose relative to something at Williams's, the banker.— Witness being aware that 2001. had been imp ro p er ly o bt a i ne d from the bank, asked the prisoner whether he alluded to that circumstance, when he replied in the affirmative.—lle tben directed the attention of witness to th e N ew Y or k Coffee-house, and said that in all probability the gentleman ' who gave him the check wax there. About this time lVir. Cup per arrived, who waited until an officer came, wh en t h ey all went to the New York Coffee-house. The , found, th at a l. though the parties had no very distinct .recollection of the cir. cumstance, yet they believed a person like him described by the prisoner, had been seated in a particular room. Witness ...told the prisoner it was a case which must be investigated be fore the Lord Mayor. He expressed some surprise at being detained in custody. The check had been in the possession of witness ever since Mr. Matthews returned front Mr. Caliper's on the day it was presented. Mr. CTIRWOOD cross-examined the witness. Samuel Matthews is an assistant clerk at the house of Sir John Perring and Co. ; the evidence of last witness, as assigned to his part in the transaction, was quite correct; witness had heard that Messrs. Capper had lost a check for a different amount—therefore he advised Mr. Vye not to take it ; Mr. Capper declared the check to be a forgery in the presence of the prisoner ; at the instance of Mr. Vye, witness went for an officer. . _ --- The prisoner, in his defence, made the same statement este gave at the banking-house. Two witnesses deposed to seeing the prisoner at the New York Coffee-house, in company with such a person as he de. scribed. One witness spoke to character. Air. Justice BAYLEY summed up the evidence adduced. The Jury, after consulting for ten minutes, returned a ver. diet of Not• Guilty. Si rum' Szsetotis.—These Sessions commenced yesteiday by adjournment at Horeemonger.lane before Rabat Hedger, Esq., Chairman, and several other Magistrates. The Grand and Traverse Juries having been sworn, and the Chairman baying. congratulated the former on the state of .th e ca l en d ar ,, several cases were tried, but they w ere of no Public interest. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. (Front " The Times" of yesterday. ) It is even as we had feared for Ireland. The cause of Catholic Emancipation—that stalking-horse of selfish ind infuriated parties, but a cause in itself both sound and: just, in the same degree in Mich it is liberal and persaasive— has been once more brought. tp the edge of destruction, by what a sensible correspondent in an Irish newspaper calls the " fa tality" which has all along pursued it. But what, let us ask, is that fatality ? Why, it is nothing more than the fatal va nity and violence—the fatal shallowness and stupidity—the moral arrogance, ambition, and intolerance, discovered uni formly at the moment when the exhibition of such qualities must be most ruinous, by those who professed to feel the deepest interest in the measure, and to identify their own fortunes with the success of it. The loss of the question of Emancipation has before been brought about by Catholics themselves : if lost again, it will again be owing to Catholics. The habitual insolence and clamour of the Orange party had but served the cause they sought to overturn, by disgusting the people of England with their injustice. But the Orangemen were re pressed by the Government, anti were declining rapidly.— Equal folly on the other aide, however, has more than trimmed the balance. Fear and anger, mingled with disgust, are the sentiments, now rising every where throughout England against the Catholics —their rent--their priesthood—their demagogues —and their pretensions. Whom are they to thank for this ? The hypocrites who have betrayed the cause,—not the open but ineffectual enemies who had for so many years opposed its gra dual and resolute advances. 'e have said that a serious alarm begins to prevail on the subject of the Catholic proeeedings. We do not partake of this alarm : we see reason enough to satisfy our own judgment, for despising the danger at which many good men tremble, and which is exaggerated and blazoned by many of an opposite stamp. At the same time, if we cannot agree with the inti midated part of the community, we can allow for them. To the pains that have been taken both to provoke and terrify the Protestants of this country, it is impossible that we should blind ourselves or others. Among those phenomena of the present age at which our ancestors, could they have risen to behold them, would have been astonished ) was the new arrangement of parties and of sympathies, which had associated in a manner unknown to former times, the professors of Popery with the friends of civil freedom. Why was this re-action ? Not because of any grow. ing taste for Popery ; but because the fears which it once in spired had ceased or diminished. We will venture to assert, that in ninety-nine cases out of an hundred, the Protestant friends of Catholic Emancipation were obliged to withdraw their minds altogether from the history and character of the Catholic reli t Tion, before they could bring themselves to take a hearty interest in the grant of power to the lay men of that creed. It was not to increase the influence of the Popish priesthood that any sane Member of Parliament in this country could tender his vote for the admission of Catholics to the Legislature. The prevailing sentiment of Englishmen has been, and we trust it will so continue, that a Popish hierarchy in full power, is the natural enemy of all constituted power but its own. We do not say that a Popish establishment is altogether inconsistent with civil freedom, but, that its tendency is to encroach upon that freedom, all history—and no history, in a manner, more impressive than that of Europe for the last ten years—assures us. In our view, therefore, the sound and rational argument in support of the measure of Catholic Emancipation was twofold—first, that it would do justice to the Catholic laity ; secondly, that by with. drawing that laity from the exclusive influence of the priest. hood, it would tend to undermine the pernicious power of their Church. What is now the aspect of the whole question as presented to t in stead of strengthening liberty, and , • . wegu shall be told there us by these very claimants for Emanc i pation w e aoakrtedwn illn gen : Pet vholeeVpnelltilluyysa,tltipi Popish be a step towards Popish supremacy, sllloohaerreho f w t o li s a at i g e r o e t a o t d . c a uiste is n i od vainet c that a is no such thing meditated by the. Association of the Catholics. The thing is notorious ; the unwise and ill-fated leaders of that bodyti lave,so Church—in faradependson them, identified their cause with that of ' the Popish other words, with the subversion of the Prote s t an t E sta blishment. In their cruise for poli fboctar their r tical power, th e y ought to have thrown their priesthood over pnsiltoetsad, and of w hich, they have tak e n th e r evere nd persons would i T effect o u u a r l v f o oll te y of o Catholic given them the command of the ship.— o That questio n orator on be s anddi em stu a r t b at et e lb e y o, such n we that the f u t ure con d uc t o f the lay-Ca have already taken a public opportunity to deny ; because we are persuaded tholics would be in no respect influenced by their recent and ill.considered proceedings. But looking at the conse quence of those proceedings as they regard the minds of ot h ers , nay, of perhaps a large majority of English Protes tants, let us once more put it to Messrs . O'Connell and Co., what sort of politicians have' they shewn themselves?— With a friendly Government, which has pursued a fair sys. tern towards Catholic and Protestant, these foolish men have done their own interests more mischief than the Government had laboured to do them good—they have, by • a turbulence which has studiously outrun and superseded Lord Welles ley's conciliatory policy, thrown back their cause to the same point at which it stood in relation to the public feeling of Eng lighmen, when an open insurrection prof essed to be excited by the inveterate Orange politics of Lord Talbot. As we said before, let not the Protestants be blamed for this. They are pro voked—they are, some of them at least, alarmed by the bully ing fanaticism of these armed supplicants for power. We, never theless, beseech the Government to pause, and let the leaders of the Catholics retrace their erring footsteps, before it legislates directly against them—but inevitably and fatally against the general rights of the subject. And we end, by admonishing the lay Catholics themselves, on the authority of their own Vicar- General, to distrust tlw sincerity of the longish priesthood, in the pursuit of Catholic emancipation. The priesthood know that their single tie over the laity is not that of a common creed, but of a common political humiliation. They are well aware that to incorporate the Gentry with the British ' Constitution, would be at once to disunite them, from that hierarchy which : never can be a part of the Constitution.-- We are charged by some of the Irish' newspapers with hos tility to the present Catholic Assembly. The charge is a silly one. We have besought the Government to leave it as long as possible unmolested. We have advised the Association stre nuously to abstain from mingling its political interests with those of any other party—with the Radicals, the Antiunionists, or the intriguers of its own church. We wish it to conciliate, not to irritate, the people of England. We are just so liir its enemies, as it has proved itself' the worst practical enemy of emancipation. Of this last measure we are just so far friends, as we have reason to anticipate that it may help to promote the internal peace of Ireland, and to support in Church and State the Protestant empire of Great Britain. The Catholics of the Midland District, compris ing the counties of Warwick, Stafford, Worcester and Salop, finding that the designation which they ' had assumed , as form ing a branch of the General British Catholic Association, was illegal, huve formed themselves into a distinct society, to be called the, hlidland Catholic Association.—(ifereford Inde pendent.)

SOLEM QUIS &MERE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DEC. 7, 1824► The Paris Papers of Saturday which arrived last night, do not contain any intelligence of the least political importance. We have received this morning the Allgemeine Zeilung dated the 29th ultimo, from which we extract the following Decrees, published by the Greek Government, one of which provides for the protection of neutrals from molestation by the Greek cruisers : The Greek Chronicle, published at Missolunghi, contains two official documents. The Ist is the Amnesty, published by the Greek Government after the fall of the party which attempted to seizeon the Supreme Authority. The 2d is the Decree in favour of the commerce of neutral powers, and is to the following effect. The Greek nation has taken up arms solely for the purpose of re. covering existence and political independ en ce,and ofrestoring that civilization which is enjoyed by those nations with which it desires 1,729 4,00 u 39 to form amicable and commercial relations. The Government has heard with regret the complaints made by some Captains of merchantmen belonging to foreign powers against some of our privateers. These complaints allege that the privateers have unjustly molested them contrary to our intentions and orders, and to the principles of neutrality, and have deprived them of the advantages resulting from commerce, which ought not to be diverted from its natural course. In order to remedy, such abuses the Government hereby makes known to all Ship owners in the Seas of Greece, that if any one shall un justly interfere with the commerce of neutrals he shall not only find no protection from the chiefs of the Marine, but shall be severely punished. Though the unhappY state of war renders privateering necessary, in order to deprive the enemy of all means of resistance, our privateetat however, must be furnished with licenses and instructions from the Government. If they have not these documents they will be punished. Nauplion (Napoli de Romania), Aug. 28, 1824. (Signed) The President, G. CON MIRIOTES. The Secretary of State, P. RHOMOS. ("lap -wine Zcitung, Nov. 22.) We have also received Frankfort Papers to the Ist instant, from which the following is the only article worth extracting :-- HANOVER, Nov. 20.—According to positive infonnati' the Prince Bishop Francis Lyon of Furstenberg at helm, who is 88 years of age, has declined, on account of age and weak state of health, the execution of the Papal Itu:1 published at Rome on the 26th of 31arch this year, under the title of Imperma R 01114140114111 POIIOIIOOI 3 , &c. relative to the organization of the Catholic churches in the kingdom of Hanover.

The Secretary then laid before the Committee certified copy of Mr. Papineaa's letter of the 23d daY of December to the clerk of the House of Asserablh. stating that, in his interviews with Mr. Wilmot florton an d Lord Bathurst, they had informed him that if the measure i t !! renewed by Government the Governors of the Colonies wo uld have timely notice, so that the Colonies might be heard by I ar: 'lament against it if they were so disposed.
