LONDON JOUUNALS. DAI G y TRACTS.] FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. .. [Morning Chronicle.] The LETTER from Count GALOWKIN (see Tiir SUN 'of4esterda.y), communicating to the Prince Ciraitelli-San-Severino the refusal of the Russian Court 'to receive as Ambassador from the nsw GoVert:meat of Naples,•does not surprise us. It Was not to be expected that the founder of the Holy Alliance would condescend to receive-an Ambassador from a Government established on the 'fcnadatien of the right of the people to have a voice in their oun affairs. The Holy Alliance was set. oa foot for the express purpose of pre venting all political changes beneficial to the peo ple; and for gradually lopping off all existing de inac•atical excrescences, to borrow the language of Count litml Schewenstein. This is the - real object of it, and we have no doubt that its Mem however Much they may occasionally di:ler among themselves in oilier respects, will always agree as to the exv"diency of retaining the people in a state of degradation. Naples has nothing to hope for froi n the Allied, Sovereigns. Whether the Neapolitans have any thing to fear from them is a. more difticult qttestion. We should:think, however, if 'they are' onty true to theniselveS., they may set the military monarchies, as Lord Cattereagh termed them, at defiance. Austria and kt ussia may spew their teeth, but will hardly venture to bite. A crusade against Naples would be a very .dilferent thing from the late invasions of France. The people then thronged to the standard of their Kings, be et:use they bt‘lie'ed they had a common cause, bUt this belief they have long since renounced. None but slaves Will now take the field against the Neapolitans, and the history of modern. as Well a..ancient tithes has proved, that -when, the' p'Opnlation' of an extensive country take arils in their own cause, they . are 'seldom overcome he want of experience in sut'h a case is more' than compensated for by the enthusiasm which Sup plies its place. Austria, too, knows full well the precarious -tenure - by which she bolds her own pt . );-tion of Italy-, ,and the consequences with which ,any reverse would not fail. to be attended. IA the Meantime the example set by the Spa niards, Neapolitans and Portuguese, will not be thrown away. The Austrian. and Russian. Fol diers may- yet be fit instruments of despotism, but there are' other armies in Europe, beside those of the Peninsula and Naples, who feel that they have a country. The suppression of Mason. Lodges, and the unjust imprisonment and sacri fice of their brethren in arms, will not, we should think, Mend the matter much. 'Sir Glatatto NOEL, a fey, - days since, received a letter lVani . the Gentleman who proposed him as the. Member 'for Rutlandshire at the last Elec ti4-, pi, intirnatii!g, in very strong terms, - his disap-, probation of Sir (3erard's refusal to" . supp. e t the measure now in progress against her Majesty the Quen. Sir' Gerard Noel replied , immediately, that if his Correspondent mould convene a Meetingof the County, and it should appear that his Constituents - entertained the same opi, be would resign his seat, and, give them an opportunity of electing a. Representative more submissive to their wishes. The Worthy Gen tleimtn farther Observed, that, much 'as he might esteem the friendship of his Rutlandshire sup porters, be could 'not forget that he was.ruore in terested in keeping upon good terms h him se 1'; that accident might deprive him of the association of his, friends, bat,that the good .opi nion of his own conscience ought to be his corn, panion, whetlt r in the solitude of retirement, or in the bustle of the world. Sir Gerard Noel further &Oared that his objection' against the proposed measure was firm and Unalterable. He denied .the right. of the House of Lords to insti tute such an inquiry ; and' that 'even had the Queen beep as gtiilty as he was 'convinced she was 'innocent, he should have been proud ,to give a proof of his attachntent'to the princiPles of -the Constitution, by resisting such a daring encroach ment upon the rights of the people.—(lbid.) • [Morning Post.] Anvicrs from the MEDITERRANEAN reached us yesterday. betters from' Genoa contain the important intelligence, if ithe correct, that ac connts had .been received at that place previous to the . 17th inst. announcing . the surrender of Palermo to the fleet which had sailed a short time before from N;;ples with 8,,000 troops on board. No particulars were added with respect to the manner in Which the surrender had been obtained. A's it .is scarcely possible, after all that had - taken place, that the Palermitans should sub-. mit without an obstinate resistance ; and as no mention' is made of a bsttae, we are inclined to beliei'e the report preMafure, if not entirely.un founded. It would, indeed, be gratifying to learn, that without atcy farthe.r effusion of blood, thi. Sicilian Rebels' had returned to their duty. But we'fear this is a consummation,. more " de yoUtly to be wished," than to be confidently hop ed' for ;- and- that Much time elapse and mtch.devastation 'ensue, ere" the peace and pros perity of 'the once rich and beautiful island'Of Sicily shall revive. .Revolutions are easily commenced.'-`.. Like :Heaven's lightning - , they strike, -and they - . ,uprnot—but,- like Jleaven's lightning, they alsg...-leave in their course shat tered trunks.and hlighted bra?ches, to . which years d if not ago, ,canAtlone restore- verdure and * fertility. T Regency of -Algiers has of late Made strong and'successful drafts to re-establish her , ' dlTavy. A4,vices from Tangiersinforru us that another dil i ge rine 4,,quad ion has ixtssed through the Streigh6 i of Gibraltar, but without stating its, de stivation.. This is the . second which . in. a'short time has put to sea ; but' as. we have not heard of al4yAepredations committed by the.former, it is ter - he hoped that . therare only sent out 'to exer cise- the sailors, and that the terrors of the salu tairlesson which we taught the A lgeriness:are still too fresh in their mindS 'to - permit them tore sume their piraticaleourses. The :Cllowinr , is r:ii extract of a. Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, dated the..7th of September " By advice!: to-day front Tangier, it appears that an Al gerine squadron, consisting of tyro corvettes 'and a schooner; posed these Straits to the west Wald. On the 4th instant, a corvette. of esi guns, stood into Tangier, but immediately joined the others and made sail." [British Pres.] It musty we think,''prove extremely gratifying to the public in' general to he informed, that a prominent MEMBER f the MiNisTEß.lar. PRESS' has at length residved,to put himself forward as a umral teacher, and correct the contagion of vi cious-principles. There is a good Old proverb, " Never too late to - mend ) " Ivhielf will occur to the minds °lour reader's on receiving this piece of information. The journal to which we refer has, since the commencement of the proceedings against the Queen, laboured so strenuously by e,: my means to Undermine the moral character of the country, that it will no doubt proVe ex tremely irksome to it, at first to support its novel character, The: proceedings against the Queen in themselves offer a .violence- to the first prin cii)les of moral rectitude, for they contravene the institutions of the-State, which have their founda tions in justiee,'and are opposed to the doctrines of ourholy religion ; yet these proceedings haVe been violently supported by our new moralist'. Justice and honour required that no . effort should be made, pending- the 'proceedings, to injure the cause of the accused, or to influ ence the passions and prejudices of her judges against her ; yet this has been don - 6 by the moral teacher, by giving instant publiCation: fo every cruel outrage upon her character, evety unmanly taunt, covert Ffisinuation, open Charge, und direct falsehood: iftw public morals have-been endangered by theinclecency/Of the evidence adduced ; yet upon the most filthy and disgusting portions of it has our moralist uniformly dwelt with a kind of chuckling delight ; : as if he hoped toincrease its. pernicious effects by repeti tion. lle has laboured with unceasing diligence to shake' the eternal barrio - 1s that. divide truth from falsehood, and endeavoured to render the public 'mind.indifferent to the reception of either ; yet after having trafficked so largely in irreligion, injustice, calumny, indecency, and falsehood, he now assumes the plaCid air of innocence, smooths down his sleek hair over his forehead, if he has any, and with the demure and devout look of sanctified hypocrisy, assures his readers that he will assume the vindication of the public morals. In couninenting - his moral essays he apprises us of the qtvalities which are indispensable in under taking so- vast a labour, and though Ills . hints are in other respects of very little value, they will do well enough,-to be applied to him self. Ale says, very properlv—" When indivi duals step forward to vindicate the morals of the country, and to arraign at their tribunal all whom the y accuse of profligacy, the country 'has a right to ask, whoand what areyou ? Are you honourable men, in the relations of social life Do your own examples fortify your precepts, and illustrate your advice? The reproof of an ho nest man, like the censure of a virtuous woman, carries a just weight with it. But who would listen to the pious exhortation of a prostitute ? And who ought to heed the moral lessons of men without morality ?" Such questions may, with great propriety, be addressed to a Treasury writer, who having by every means endeavoured to cor rupt the public mind, and pollute the,sourc.e of justice, will voluntarily' place himself in the moral chair, and discourSe of puri‘y, integrity ; and honour. [The Times.] We wish every one of his Ku - Es:Ws Mix's.. TEES might but have seen the procession of Sr. LUKE'S PARISH yesterday, to address the QUEEN at Brandenburgh House, and then they would have known from their own observation what character or class-of people it is that comes forth in such shoals to condole with insulted Royalty. The procession of which we are speaking con sisted of 52 post-coaches and four; that number exactly passed Hyde-park-corner; and the per-, sons who filled them,maleand female,may be taken as the best sampir of substantial British tradesmen, their wives and daughters. There were 2 postilions to each carriage, the major part in blue jackets ; but there was likewise a. train consisting of seve ral carriages.,.the postilions of which were dressed in yellow satin, These were said, by the attend ing crowds, to come from -the neighbourhood. of Spitalfields; but we should not suppose the pa rish of. St. Luke to extend solar. . But one such procession as this, could one such have taken place at Paris, would have silenCed all the odious clamours against the unfortunate Queen of that country ; but the Queen of England has received hundreds of the same kind ; and never did they pour in so,fast as since the exposition of the detestable evidence agai'ust her Majesty,— and the people of this country have read the evi dence : the inference, therefore, is obvious, — that in their conviction it, falls.to the.ground of -itself—that it is wholly baseless, creditless, Ain deserving attention. Who is it then, we ask t that the. further prosecution of the Bill now, in, Parliament is meant to satisfy ?. We are assured by two gentlemen who attended the late meet ing at the Freemasons' tavern, that they, though used to he present at assemblages for many years, had, never seen any so respectable for numbers and appearance united... They compared .the charac ter of the'people,. judging. from .their exterior, to that of those who usually attend Bible meetings, but - their numbers infinitely greater. It is the specific object of the Address voted at this nret ing4O " congratulate the. Queen on the . close . of the case.,against her :" We Solicit attention to that fact—and the Address is to. be presented on Monday. We !lbw," therefore,. this preceding Friday, invite those, if any such there are, who are in their hearts:hostile to the Queen, and have been induced by the ! falsehoods and filthy buf foonery of \ the papers .hostile (from the absence of principle, but the, presence of bribes) to her Majesty's cause, merely to themselves any where 'in the Way where this ; proceslion shall pass, and . then ask themselves Calmly whether Addreste as these are fabricat ed „exaggerated .thingS, or whether -they do not' speak the sentiments of the people of Eng land in a voice that cannot be misunder stood 2 We call attention, as is our custom, to facts, and not to reasoning or assertiOn.- 7 ---- Let the world, who read this, argue' from those facts . for themselves. The Procession of the Watermen takes place next Tuesday ; we are told that it will consist of upwards of ten th?u sand. We give this as a. report : let doubters go near the River, and 'observe : we suspect that they will be in the situation of the unbeliever mentioned in the Scripture, who, ping into a vast congregation of real worshippers, was con vinced of all. The truth is, that, from the foun dation of the British Monarchy fo the present day never Ring sat upon the Throne who was so numerously and _so cordially addressed, in ac cents of. condolence or congratulation, even 'during his whole reign, as has already been this most extraordinary woman, on what the whole land conceives to be the defeat of the conspiracy against her. - • The details of the PROCEEDINGS of the CORTES, contained in the Papers received yesterday, record an act of justice highly honourable to the Spanish nation. In the sittin of the 12th instant was read the Report of the Committee of Rewards On the case of Pablo Lopez, commonly called " The Lame Man ,of Malaga," who wasTondenmed to death in 1t414, and had actually been imprisoned six years in a dungeon at Cadiz, whence he was re leased by - Riego. One of the charges against him, for which the punishment was inflicted: was his having assisted at serenade given to. some members of the Cortes in 1814, and which was supposed,. to, have I;.een projected by him ; and another, -t n! constagt attendance he was in 'the habit of giving• to : , the debates.. of the Cortes, at one- of which heryas accused of creating a, distur- Lance. EVen these :Charges, frivolous as they 'ivere, were dc,iied by Pablo Lopez ; and the officer attendant on the gallery of the Cortes de clared him to have had no share in causing the riot . allUded to. The accusation was not at tempted to be supported by evidence of any kind. The CoMmittee of Rewards, with the object not only of hiderunifying him for the injuries he had suffered, bUt of rescuing the nation from the re proach of having inflicted them., recommended that a grant should be made to Lopez from the public funds, to the amount of 70,000 or 80,000 reals (7001. or 8001. sterling), for the purpose of building a house for him in Malaga, his native .place, and that an annuity for life should fur ther be given to hitn of the value of 8000 reals.— ( Ibid.) [llew Times.] If we could give credit to PRIVATE LETTERS received yesterday from NapLrs, we should think that the Revolution' there was drawing rapidly to a close.-- 7 --They say that an army of 40 or 50,000 Austrians is already. upon their frontier, and that a battle may soon_ be ex pected. The Decrees of the Revolutionary Go vernment, calling all the old soldiers of Murat into active service, prove nothing but desperation. If the Austrians are so near and advancing, there is an end of the Revolution ! The Neapolitans will' not stand a single battle. We own our ap prehensions are very different. The Allies,have hitherto givn eve,ry advantage to the Revolu tionists, by an unwillingness to attack, and a fear to irritate. It is hardly probable "that the Aus trians will venture to deviate singly from this policy : and if they wait for the concurrence of other Great Powers, much time must elapse before they can strike a blOw. We are happy to perceive that the NEW SHE III'FFS declare their fixed intention not to let any political inclinations interfere with the ministe rial dutiesof their office. Such a declaration does them great credit, more particularly at a moment when political irritation is elsewhere carried to a violent extreme. The election of a Lord Mayor, which takelplace to-day at the Common Hall, will, we trust, be carried on upon principles of similar prudence and moderation. It would be a source of endless annoyance to the City of London,• if the Civic Chair should be an nually made. the object of a long, trouble some, and expensive contest. W believe that the respectable members of each party are fully convinced of this truth, and anxious to return to. that regular course of rotation which has in one or two instances been unfortunately violated. If a few turbulent individuals endeavour to resist these moderate counsels, we trust that the good sense of the Livery assembled this day will frus trate the attempt, and suffer only the twa can didates to be returned to the Court of -Aldermen for their choice, who would be . so in the .001110011 order of things. These Gentlemen we take ,to be Alderman lleygate and Alderman Cox ; for Alderman Magnay, who stands next to the Chaiq has declared by a public advertisement, " that it will not be,until the ensuing year that he can solicit the 'stiffrages of the Livery with. the hoPe of being able .properly to discharge the duties of that high station :" and as the same grounds were admitted to be valid last year, they probably will on the present occasion; Alder man Heygate also pleads,,it is true, some domes tic reasons for wishing to postpone ,his- nomina tion till next year ; bat as he at the same time deprecates the idea of " shrinking in times of animosity from a public duty," and as Ids 'al -1 legation amounts only to " inconvenience," the Livery will hardly think it affords sufficient, reason for deviating still further tWnn tl/e course, of rotation. It 'is very _probable tha' - every Alderman in the succession may find the arduous duties of the mayoralty attended with pri vate inconvenience. However, the Livery will act-most wisely in leaving the particular circum stances of the case to the Court of Aldermen, by returning for their option Mr. Alderman Bev gate and M r . Alderman Cox. A numerous -at. tendance for this purpose at the Common Hall to-day is highly. desirable, as the turbulent indi• 'victuals above-alluded to will otherwise ,endea. voot to involve the business of-the day in confu , Ron, and occasion the necessity of a poll.
