TEIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning I'vers,Oet. 12, 1825. [MORNING POST.] THE REVENUE.—We are enabled to lay before the Public this day all the official Statements re specting the Revenue for the present Quarter, and for the whole financial year, of which we gave a brief sketch on Saturday last. The view then taken was founded on calculations still in progress ; but the gratifying nature of the gene ral result has surpassed even the expectations which had been formed. It will be found, by a reference to the net produce of the Revenue in the years ending on the 10th of October, 1824 and 1825, that the latter exceeds by no less a sum than 1,863,6951. the receipts of the former. The net Revenue in 1824 was 47,900,0921.; in 1825, it is 49,763,7871.: and what 'renders this immense increase the more important, is, that it has arisen notwithstanding the reductions (in some cases amounting almost to abolition) which have taken place in the Duties on Silk, Wines, Wool, Spirits, Coals, Law Stamps, and the repeal of Assessed Taxes to the amount of several millions. - The augmen tation in the corresponding Quarters is 137,5941. in favour of that which has just now closed. It is formed in the following manner. In the Cus toms there is an encrease of 2,038,1831.; in the Stamps, one of 63,8391.; and in the Post Office, a small one of 4,0001. ; making alto gether 2,106,0221. But as the augmentation in the Customs is in some measure occasioned by the transfer of many Excise Duties to that branch of the Revenue, there is a proportion ate decrease in the Excise, which reduces the balance of increase upon the whole Quarter to what we have mentioned; or 137,5941. That our public income should continue to grow without interruption the more duties are lowered and taxes abolished, is at once a most gratifying pledge of our prosperity, and the most convincing proof which can he offered of the wisdom and efficacy of that system, by which the great com mercial interests of our country are not only supported, but promoted to an extent hitherto unexampled in the history of nations. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] A decline took place yesterday in the- Funds, owing, we believe, to a report that the Russian Army, under Count Wittgenstein, had crossed the Pruth. This is the twentieth time, at least, within these two years, that the same rumour has been circulated, and always with an effect simi lar to that which was produced yesterdaY. This marked credulity is certainly not very consistent with the cool calculating spirit by 'which, it is foolishly imagined, Stock-jobbing is regulated. With all their pretensions, the adepts of that art are the most gullible set of men that we know of, and the most ignorant at the same time of the real character of the circum stances by which they are in the habit of regu latiog their gambling transactions. The season alone is sufficient to upset this rumour, for who ever heard of a large army entering upon a cam paign at the approach of winter, in such a climate as that of Moldavia, and with such roads as those of that province! It is true Charles XII. attacked Copenhagen in the midst of winter, but the cir cumstances were widely different, and the Em peror Alexander has very little resemblance to a Alonarch, who may be said to belong more to romance than to history. Besides, the powerful attitude of the other Great Monarchies of Europe exposes the absurdity of this rumour in the most glaring manner, as they would all unite in oppo sition to Russia; were she to be guilty of an un provoked aggression on the Turkish Empire.— The Porte has not given that Power of late even the shadow of a pretext for a quarrel ; and the Russian Government is too prudent, and knows too well the value of appearances, to be guilty of a wanton act of aggression. At the same time the Emperor Alexander is much too magnanimous—and we use this term in sober earnest—to be guilty of the violence and perfidy with which he is charged in this report : but, if he was the most selfish of men, yet he would see that this was not the fit time to gratify his crav ing ambition. Austria, whose jealousy on this subject reaches almost to the extravagant, was never so well prepared, as she is per haps at this moment,' to oppose any designs he might harbour against Turkey. In conse qtience of.the tranquiltity prevailing in Italy, she could employ her whole army for this pur pose; but, to shew the opinion she entertains herself of this pretended danger, it is scarcely two weeks since, she declared, by the mouth of her Sovereign, that the prospect of a continuance of general tranquillity was never more certain than it is at the present moment. All the movements of the Austrian Cabihet are in unison too with this declaration ; and, for some time past, there has - not been the slightest appearance in that Ern. pireindicitive of alarm. The same obserVation applies to Prussia, where' the troops lie quietly in their respective cantonMents ; and it is UMW.; CPSSary to say, that there is no appearance of min Wary bustle in France. But, if there was - any trdtb in this rumour, the armies of these Powers would have been on the alert before now ; and ,otir Coluruns, as well as those of our contempora ries, would have been filled with accounts of warlike preparation. Every thing is as quiet, nod 'apparently as settled, in Europe, as if there was "not a breath, except what isSues from Change-Alley, to agitate the surface of its political waters. - The attitude of our own Government clearly' indicates any thing but an apprehension or hostilities ; and . if Russia were only to hold up her 'little finger in the' way of menace against ,the Porte, we should soon hear the note of pre paration in 'every port of the kingdom. Few will venture to say that the resources of this country incapacitate her at' this time from mixing with due effect in the concerns of the world ; and to such 'we would simply Look at the flob rishitig 'state of the revenue, - which we present thii'dajr." - We are ilcoost - astittmed'to have taken up this subject so graireln - foi, beiides the rea sons we have pet &ea t 'we have in the .good sense of the Russian Government the most com plete exposure of this ridiculous rumour. [THE TIMES.] We refer our readers to what, - in 'the present circumstances of the world, may be regarded as an important document—the declaration of the Provincial Congress of Mexico respecting the interference of the Head of the Church in the civil affairs of foreign states. This paper, though moderate in its language, is firm in its purpose, and traces with a vigorous hand the limits between civil authority and ecclesiastical usurpation. It strips his 'Holiness of that dangerous prerogative by which his predecessors pretended to free sub jects from their allegiance, and by which he himself now offers to patch up a claim of alle giance for Ferdinand. In the declaration of the Mexican Congress, he is so far from being con sidered as the Deus in terris, that any'attention to his commands in civil or political matters is declared rebellion against the state, for which no alliance to the Tiara can obtain pardon. Nay, he is even beaten with his own theological weapons ;for if . the Court of Rome adopt the maxim of some i ultra Catholics,—Papa et Chris tus faciunt unum consistorium—the Mexican Go. vernment replies, that the latter member of the consistory never claimed temporal obedience, and never interfered with secular authority. One view of the document must be extremely sa tisfactory to all the friends of Catholic emanci pation. The Mexicans are so bigoted Catholics, that they do not permit the exercise of any other religion within their territory. They, however, renounce the pretensions of the Court of Rome, which are always presented as a bug-bear to frighten English Protestants into an acquaintance in the present exclusion of the Irish Catholics from civil privileges. The Pope surely cannot be more formidable in Ireland, whetT there is no disputed Government, than in America, where the claims of a foreign sovereign are not only supported by the Pope, bat admitted by the Holy Alliance. [BRITI'M PR FSS.I The French Papers which came to hand last night are entirely occupied with the affairs of Greece. The Proclamation issued by his Ma jesty's Government for the enforcement of the Foreign Enlistment Act is published at full length in the Paris Journals of Monday, accom panied with such comments as the peculiar poli tics of the Editors think fit to send forth on the occasion. The Courier Francais, the organ of the French Liberals, is vehement in his condem nation of the policy of the British Ministry.— It most absurdly insinuates that their re solution to maintain strictly the neutrality they have, from the very beginning of the contest, professed to observe, must have originated in their desire to favour the policy of the Holy Alliance towards Greece. The French politicians .of every class and party seem equally insensible to any considerations but those arising from the immediate impulse of feeling. They know or care nothing for the moral obligations by which Great Britain is bound towards an old and faithful ally, nor of the importance of upholding her character for good faith and perfect since rity. It is not a little singular that every oblique and dishonourable motive is ascribed to this coun try, for an act which originates solely in its sacred regard to its national honour. The writer in the Courier Francais, for example,,in the conclusion of his article, contrasts our refusal of the pro tectorate of Greece with the aid suffered to be.given to the Spanish revolted Colonies, whence he infers that it was the commercial advantages expected from South America which induced the English Government to favour its emancipation. He thinks, however, that Greece may expect powerful assistance from the United States of North America. We regret to perceive by the extracts from the Etoile that Ibrahim Pacha re mained in full and undisturbed possession of the Morea, and that the army of Colocotroni was almost entirely dissolved. Missolonghi also seems to be in considerable danger. EN EW TIMES.] French Papers Of Sunday,and the Mode dated Monday morning, arrived last night. They are chiefly filled with declamatory articles on the Eng lish Proclamation of Neutrality. Here is a new turn—We can never please these Gentlemen ! Not a fortnight ago they were abusing os for our ambition. It was clear that we had ordered Commodore Hamilton to support the Greeks, in order to induce them to throw themselves into our arms : we had intrigued to bring about this measure, and had succeeded ; and of course the rest of Europe would take alarm at our schemes, and join in opposing our giving any assistance to the Greeks. These topics sufficed till the King's Proclamation appeared ; and then it was equally clear that England was guilty of a cri minal apathy ire no., assisting the Greeks. We were more anxious to conciliate Austria than to assist a people struggling for their liberty. The Greeks, who, but'a week ago, were " barbarians and pirates," are now become our fellow Chris tians, with every possible claim on our fraternal affection. What are we to infer from all this ? Simply, that our Government ought to proceed, as it undoubtedly will proceed, on its own just and equitable principles, with an utter contempt and . disregard alike of the praise and dispraise of foreign politicians. We have already shown that the Proclamation has conferred an• incalculable benefit on the Greeks, by recognizing them as en titled to all the rights of belligerents. It rests with themselves to profit of this important•recognition. It rests with them to prevail on other European Powers to follow our example. If the Greeks succeed in this, and if they discharge faithfully the duties which are correlative with those rights, they •will render it impossible for Turkey ever to re-establish her dominion over them. Mean. while it must not be forgotten. that England is the first, and hitherto the only, p o wer' which has formally and distinctly recognised•the Greeks entitled to the same belligerent rights as the Turks. ' We have incalculably benefited their cause, without any violation of principle, by de- 1 daring ourselves neutrals : we should violate our principles, and act with great inconsistency, if we were to become their Allies. [MORNING lIERALD.] There prevails, we are informed, at present throughout France, a panic terror or Jesuitism, somewhat resembling the dread of Popery, which has sometimes scared people in England. Of all topics, it is the most awkward or perilous that could be touched on in a mixed company. The word "'Jesuit," instantly excites fear and trem bling—or a violent sortie against the crimes and dangers of the order past and present. Such is the hatred and terror with which the Liberals are inspired by the Jesuits, that contrary to their own theories of government, they take part with the Anti-Catholic side of the British Cabinet, and jus tify the fears of Catholic Emancipation. There are even those who go the length of anticipating an other revolution from the incursions and pretensions of the Jesuits. It must be admitted, that there is in all this something too disinterested to be hy pocritical—something too far above fanaticism and ignorance, to be pure delusion. The utmost that can be said is, that the prevailing sentiment is exaggerated. Leaving out of the question the influence which the reverend Fathers in Jesus have regained in the interior of society and of families ; they have even to- the eye of a common passing observer greatly increased in numbers. Persons in clerical costume, and especially frirs and students, have within a few years increased vastly, both in the capital and the principal towns of the departments. In Paris they are met in the streets at every turning, and seen grouped, like rooks, with their black sordid uniforms, in the fields outside the barrier. At Rouen they have multiplied excessively, under the auspices of his Eminence the Cardinal Arch bishop; and at Amiens they have a large College, in which there are some English pnd Irish stu dents. Another curious circumstance relating to the Jesuits, is the hatred borne them by the rest of the French clergy. The priests can not keep their tempers, if the Jesuits be but named. The latter were so well aware of the odium attached to their name, that they abandoned it, and assumed that of Peres de la Foi—Fathers of the Faith. But the old name sticks to them, and will not be allowed to drop. Even the cos tume has been materially changed by them-,-hut it will not do.—Sir Edward Coke's quaint in stance of leonine verse, as it is called, seems ex pressive of the general feeling towards them— " Cor tibi restat idem, Non tibi przesto fidein." The two objects upon which they seem particu larly intent at present, as far as their designs are public, are getting the education of youth into their bands, and recovering and acquiring pro perty ; both, certainly, very usual and advisable modes of obtaining power over their fellow crea tures. EMOEtNING CHRONICLE.] A great sensation has, it seems, been produced at Oxford by the preaching of a Mr. Mulock, who is described as the friend of no less a person , age than Mr. Canning, with whom he travelled on the Continent, and whose interests he advocated on electioneering occasions. It is about a year since he commenced preaching; at that seat of learning, and having gained some followers— some of them of note in the place, the wrath of the people has been excited to acts of violence against him. Oxford has always been particu larly jealous of teachers of scriptural doctrine, and as the lower orders in such a place, in point of dependence, bear pretty much the same rela tion to the University which menials do to the nobleman or gentleman who feeds them, we can hardly be accused of want of charity if w e infer that the authors of this violence had a tolerable assurance that it would be acceptable to their oily patron's. In another column our Readers Nvill find some accounts of this individual, his followers, and their treatment from the mob. and the quotation from Blackstone's Commen taries, with which the article front the Oxford Herald closes, and in which Mr. Alulock is pointed out as a fit subject for the temporal Courts, as a religious impostor, confirms us in our suspicion that the High Churchmen are at the bottom of this Het. In order to ascertain what sort of doctrine was taught by this friend of Mr. Canning, thus held up as a fit subject for prose cution, we have looked into a work of his pub lished by Messrs. Rivington in 1821, under the title of " Divine Truth, the Rebuker of Literary Scepticism, and the Detector of spurious Christia nity." In this work, which is most forcibly written, and which, we presume, contains the doctrines which he has been preaching at Oxford, we see nothing to justify the animosity which has been manifested against him. We should suspect that he is no great admirer of the system which allots so very disproportionate a. share of the good things of this world to those whose business is to assist us in prep ar i ng f or t h e next,—that he has some scruples as t o t h e propriety of quickening the passage through this earthly vale of two or three hundred thousand miserable Irish peasants, to en able a Bish o p to kill himself in a few years with goodcheer, a n d yet leave half a million behind him —that he does not in the truly orthodox mariner, take a hint of the Lawyers, and view all these Scriptural doctrines, the observance of which might be attended with some inconvenience, espe cially to men in the enjoyment of rich livings, as so many fictions. But we do not exactly see why he should be crucified on this account. He may be wrong in his theology—lie may be too sincere —he may disapprove of making religion a stalk ing horse for knavery, but that is no _good reason for setting the mob on him. We are willing to admit that a man who preaches on the subject of " distressing vicissitudes and invidious inequali ties of property," and of the " responsibility at» tacked to riches," will never make a good church man or a good politician (for the practice of the churchman and the theory of the politician are quite in accordance), and we can very well un derstand how a churchman with 5,0091- ° -year should dislike being told that he holds this Wealth in trust for the necessitous; but sure ly this is no good reason for smoking out the holde r 01 the heresy..
