THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY . . Zetracts from the Morning Papers, April 9.6, 1825. [TitE Toms.] The Gazette accounts from India, published yesterday, would be read with the greater satis faction, because they demonstrate how little the Indian empire had to dread froth any military qualities possessed by the unfortunate Brrrmans. When we.see it written by a gallant officer, — 'who takes, by the way, his full share of credit for the achievement,—that four British and ten or eleven native battalions, reckcining, we presume, on the outside five or six thousand effective men, attacked and totally defeated an army of fifty or sixty thousand, our admiration of the boldness which impelled the British troops is even exceeded by our mingled compassion and contempt for the wretched multitude from whose halt - di they escaped with impunity. Between two and three hundred individuals of all ranks, ern ployments, and colours, constituted the sum-total of the British loss, in the course of what, for want of better words, we must calf a "-general engage ment" with these barbarians. Why, brickbats were scarce, or they must have pelted us all to death, had they tried it. Then, again, the artillery brought into the field by the Biiimans were no less thau 64 300" guns, of' whith 44 240" remained in our possession but on looking into . the returns, it appears that of these 240 captured cannon, 195 were swivels. NoW we have no desire whatever to disparage the skill of Sir Archibald Campbell, who really seems to' have understood his enemies, and to haie prac ticed upon their ignorance and stupid insolence with equal dexterity and success ; as little is it our intention to detract from the bravery of the., soldiers; their readiness to face such an imposing array of force was in itself no common effort of heroism; and if—their enemy was unworthy of, them, the fault was not theirs ; but we do allege,l that the military incapacity of the Burmans was not more surpriiiiig than the civil or pOlitical bar barism of the Bengal Government, which threw away sects immense preparations, and incurred an expence so ruinous; upon an occasion so little, adequate to either. The object of. the Burman General was plainly to annihilate Sir Archibald Campbell in the first instance-, so as to have his whole force ready for operations on ihe Chitta. gong frontier, undisturbed . by any fear froth' the Rangoon division of the British troops. The folly of our own Government was repaired by that of the Burmese. liadithe latter but threat ened an attack, instead of making one, Sir Archibald Campbell could not hire advanced into their country, nor enibarked his - troops with out discredit to the British cause. What is to be the end of such a contest, it not easy to con jecture. What is to be ou'r' indemnity for so much waste of life and mottey•?=;.what our-secu rity against,future incursions- upon the' 'frontier ? What are the spoils or acqdiSitions froni such a war? If it 'continues long, we shall creaete:an army for these hitherto uhdistiplined . savages. • We- shall 'at the sattns-time; sap the rescittiCeS'of our-=own power : that most etivialale . orresources, the reputed wisdom of ourrAtiatic Councils, is already compromised. In writing his dispatches we could wish that the gallant officer conitnalid ing at Rangoon had consulted the national taste with better diligence, and left his countrynien to measure out the, panttirit of applause Which might be due tOthitit rather -by his actions than his words.

Spain. .short. time ago Kiri* Ferdi: , nand,. vote his sister,. a very strong. letter, in which be protested against the ado.ptionof institutions in Portugal, and exhorted her to use her whole influence-and-power to prevent innova tions dangerous to both countries ; adding, that if his advice was not followed, and she (the Queen) continued to be ill-treated, she was instantly to join him in Madrid. During the last Lent, the pulpits and confessionals have been disgracefully employed to excite an alarm against the intended reforms, and all the prejudices of the people have been roused by a band of fanatics, spread throughout the country. The effect, however, has not been al together such as the enemies of the King were led to expect. This furious hostility has united the friends of the Crown, and drawn them nearer to the person of the Monarch, so that now the Fidalgos and rich proprietors of lands have be. come favourable to more liberal institutions, in or der to save themselves from falling a prey to a fanatic and vindictive party that seems deter mined to stop at nothing. The King is a timid man ; but he must have derived great courage from the recent demonstrations on the part of his friends and supporters, and the presence of Sir C. Stuart will have afforded him both confidence and consolation. From all appearances, it is therefore presumable, that, with respect to the two great and important measures in which the Government of Portugal is engaged, it will not be long before they are carried into full effect, as they are recommended' and supported by the foreign power that has most influence at the Court of Lisbon, and are specially confided to the ma nagement of dexterous and experienced Diplo matists. [TIIE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The intelligence which arrived yesterday, both from France and Germany, must dissipate any alarm which previous advices might have raised. It completely does away with the strong interest which had been attached to the meeting at Milan, where Italian subjects alone will be treated of, and with a view to conciliation chiefly. Neither the interests of Greece, nor of any other country, will undergo formal diScussion ; and it is fully as certained that the Sovereigns of Russia and Prussia will not attend. To she w, the profound calm which prevails at present in thepolitical world , the period usually assigned in the kingdom of Hanover for military exercise has been materially curtailed this year ; and it is manifest, from a variety of other circumstances, that the very best under. standing exists at this time between the European Courts. In further corroboration of this, we find that the French troops, who are not necessary for garrison duty, have begun to evacuate Spain, and every thing indicates harmony amongst the different Powers with a pledge of , its long con tinuance. [MORNINIG HERALD.] Exchanges still continue falling, and as they fall so will gold be exported. This shows that the balance of trade is turning round, against , England. This is not to be wondered at, for j the balance of trade has been, acCording to the Parliamentary Returns, too much' of late'' .years in favour of England to last. Should this state of things continue; our gold coin will in ;e4itably fly away from us, in Which case. Mr. - ' ,Peel would be obliged to' repeal his 'and then, instead of sovereigns being the circu lating, medium, we must again have recourse to one and • two pound notes. Well, there would be nothing detrimental in this. We got on well enough before with one and two pound notes, and why should we not again ? If Mr. _Peel should'repeal his Bill we would recommend an issue of thirty shilling notes, in addition to those' of one and two pounds. They would be ' convenient on the score of change ; for, after gold disappears, silver would be next exported. The great objection to notes of a less value than - .five pounds, is the increased temptation to forgery, and the consequent imprisonments, prosecutions, arid' punishments. If it were not for the lat ter consequences, the abSence of gold would not be felt. Indeed, a paper medium is More ! convenient for the purposes of trade, especially as a remittance from one: part of the country to another. The present state of the Exchanges May be probably one reason why our own and foreign Stocks are so flat in the market. It would be curious if, in proportion to the. fall of the Ex changes, and the rise in colonial produce and home manufactures,' our own funds and foreign funds, as well as scheme shares, should tumble, and let all this looks . probable enough. • [BRITISH PRESS. That important subject, the Corn Laws, was yesterday, in some degree under the Consideration of both Houses of Parliament. No subject of Legislation is environed with so many and such Iserious difficulties. The fairest mode to all par-- ;ties, and that which would be least open to fraud ) , would be a protecting duty; but it is obvious, that there may be seasons' of dearth when no fixed rule could be Maintained.. The system. of aierages, however, is sp notoriously de- Tectiye, that believe there will be no ob jection. on 'either side to its removal. Mr. Bus ki.!lson announced that it was• his. intention, at an early period of the next Session, to bring. the entire subject. before Parliament. On ThUrsday e'vening, on Mr. W. Whitmore's motion, it isr the intention of the Board of Trade to' state tie considerations' that have influenced hiM. In answer • to a question frOM M. 11'. ~ti`i'lson, lie slated that he should persevere in recommendiog- the abolitiotr of. the prohibitory duties. The Right lion: Gentleman also mode known his intention shortly to propose that the corn which has been under lock for several years should' he admitted' into' the market. Mr. Gooch- Made an attempt to sound the trinupet of alarm, but though he' doirchitled with a quotation,. he failed in arousing the sensitive fears of the CoOntry gentlemen. It was gratifying upon the whole to remark the friendly spirit in which re IVierribeiS re tire§iinting' two great' in.. *rest's. -nf. the country eklifessed thettisetves to ilkards each Th e on ly' Oetititrian - who Aid'• not- frOre: to . - his advantage in )111e 'distussion, was Nir..Caleraft, who, in his' tjtvii'ety' to , - find -stiniethin'g' blameable in the Cork icluct . of IVfitiiste,el-; l 4preliiiiid - theinSbarpl9'edidOt :giving notice of what they did'not intend to he Order Book is sufficiently crowded with notices already. We know not to what length it would be extended, if all that Government does not in tend to bring forward were also entered upon it. [MORNING POST.] The business in the House of Lords yester day was of more than usual interest. The Heir Presumptive to the Crown, the Staunch Defender of the Protestant Church, in a word, the Duke of York, presented a Petition from the Dean and Chapter of St. George's, Wind sor, praying that no further concessions might be made to the Catholics. In discharging this duty, his Royal Highness addressed a few observations to the House, in which, to strength of argument was added the still more power ful and impressive expression of genuine feel ing. Seldom has a more modest and pathetic appeal been made to the judgment and sympathy of a whole Assembly. The filial piety which breathed in his allusions to the sentiments of his departed Monarch and Father, and the honours paid to the memory of the 46 ablest, wisest, and honestest Minister whom the country ever had, displayed the real workings of the heart, and wrought conviction upon every mind, that whatever may be the ultimate vote of the lower Branch of the Legislature, the danger which threatens the Religious Establishment and the Constitution will be steadily repelled by the unshaken firmness of _the Hereditary Cham ber. In several parts of his speech his Royal Highness was sensibly affected, and many of their Lordships could not conceal how far they entered into his feelings. The following decla ration from an Illustrious Personage, who is perhaps one day to fill the throne of this Em pire, is a pledge which cannot be too deeply valued by all who are interested in the maintenance of the present Religious, Civil, and Political Establishment :—" I have been brought up from my early years in these principles „; and from the time when I began to reason for myself, I have entertained them from conviction; and in every situation in which I may be placed, I will maintain them, so Help me God." The important subject of the Corn Laws was brought, last night before both Houses, in consequence of a question from the Earl of Lauderdale in the Lords, and of the presentation of the London petition for a change of those Laws in the House of Commons. The explanation given by his Ma jesty's Ministers in bOth places being nearly the same, we shall simply state, in Mr. Huskis son's own words, that 64 it was not the inten tion of his Majesty's Government to propose any general alteration or revision of the Corn Laws during the present Session ; but that, early in the next he should suggest to Parliament a general revision of the laws for regulating the importa tion of foreign Corn into this country. At the same time he thought it right to inform the House, that it might be his duty to submit a part of this great 'question to its considera tion in the course of a few days. He meant that branch of the law by which foreign Corn being once imported into this country could not be again removed, and so much of which had been locked up in our warehouses for so many years." The second reading• of the Irish Free holders Bill, and the Committee on the Emanci pation Bill were postponed in the Commons to this day, in consequence of- Mr. Littleton's wish to make some alterations in the former, which he thought would remove the objections started against it, by preserving existing interests. • [YEW TIMES .. In the . House of Lords last night a very great. sensation was produced, on the occasion of his . Royal Highness the. Duke of York presenting, a Petition from the Dean And Chapter of the Chapel of St. George's, Windsor, praying that no further concessions might be granted.. to the Catholics. His Royal Highness avowed his fixed and determined purpose to persevere in his opposition t o th e c l a i ms of t h e Catholics.; in whatever situation'he might be ' . placed, and concluded with an earnest and so l emn assevera tion, in proof of the sincerity and fixedness of his resolution.—Petitio tt s adverse to the.CAtholic Clainis were also presented by ..;the Bishops of Lincoln, Latidaff, and Bath and The Earl of Liverpool made a very important communication, in reply tna question- from Lord Lauderdale, respecting the Corn Laws, by . &tat in.g, that although some alteration in these-laws was necessary, . yet he had no .intention of pro posing any such alteration during the present Session of Parliament. —Th e Noble Loyd.added some obseriations, full of wisdom and . enlarged views, on the necessity of holding the balance even between the commercial' and agricultural :classes, which ,have been r e p re s e nt e d a s h av i ng conflicting interests, but which, -in truth, When well understood, have the same identity of . loss 'and of gain.--;111 the House of Commons a simi lar declaration was made by Mi. Huskisson, that it was not the intention of his 'MajeSty/s Minis teri tnpropose any revision of the Corn Laws in the present Session, but that he was .ready to state, that they intended to do so at an early .pe-, riod-in the next Sesiiim. Mr. T.Wilitin presented the Petition praying for a revision it; these laws, signed 'by not less than five thousand of the Bankers, Merchants, and Traders of London ; and the Honourable Member stated . , , in some judicious and sensible remarks,: the oPitiibir entertained on the subject. Mr. 4Goocii ex pressed himself strongly in opposition to the prayer of the Petition. Mr. Whitmore, Mr. `Alderman lliompson, Mr. Baring, and several other Mernbers,•took a part in the conversation. _ • , REDUCED PkICES.—A " Company of ComITIP,7 dians fbarii 61asgow" ate now yerforMink in gt.

Leeke, from the West Indies, whether she conveyed the Lords Bishops of Barbadoes and Jamaica, to their respective Sees, and their clerical establishments. The herald sailed - from Falmouth on the 16th of December, arrived at Barbadoes on the 28th of Jan uary ; found there the Eden and Ringdove; the Scoutt and BAlette being hourly expected from La Guayta and St. "Thomas's; the Ringdove was to sail for St. Vincent's and An tigua. The Herald left Barbadoes on the 3d of February, looked into Port Royal and St. Pierre's (Martinique); saw in the former port one French line of battle ship, a frigate, a cor vette, two brigs, and two schooners ; at the latter, two French brigs and two schooners of war. On the 11th ofJan. she arriv ed at Jamaica. The squadron there had been very unhealthy; Mr. M`Millan, Assist.-surgeon of the Naval Hospital at Port Royal, and Mr. Hood, who has subsequently succeeded him, bOth died of fever. Mr. W. C. Swiffen, late of the Eden, had been promoted to the Helicon, and Mr. C. Blyth, late f the Ringdove, to the Btitomart. On the 18th-of February, the Herald left Port Royal, and arrived at the Havannah on the 27th, having spoke off the Mord, the Isis, Captain Forrest, from Tanipico and Vera Cruz ; by which ship she was in formed that the Castle of St. Juan de trlloa still held out; it having been just supplied with troops and provisions by a Spanish squadron of three ships, commanded by Commodore La Beide. On the 10th of . March,. this squadron arrived at Havannah, from off Vera Cruz, consisting of a frigate of 46 guns, a ship of 24 _ guns (late his Majesty's ship Sapphire), and a corvette of 22 guns ; which ships, with a brig of 20 guns (32 pounders), two brigs of - 16 guns, and two schooners of. 12 guns, were left, at Havannah. These ships compose the entire Spanish naval force in that (platter. (The statement, therefore, copied into our.last Paper, from the Ame. rican Papers, of seven Spanish frigates having arrived at Ha vannah, from Ferroll and Cadiz, proves untrue.) On March thp 2d, the Dartmouth sailed fritrin flavannah for the protection of trade, along the South side of Cuba; and on the 20th she had sent away her boats in SearCh of pirates, which on the pre ceiling day, had.bearded a - Colombian vessel, and after plunder. ing her, cut the - throats of two of her ere*. On the 9th. of March, - 7 the Husaar,,Captain - .

On the 20th of March the Herald left the Havarinah•foe - England, having , onboard tip. - wards of a million of dollars, and 45. serons of cochineal: and. with'which she arrived in safety, after a pleasinfpassage: of 33. days. The general expectation at :the Havannah was,. that Bolivar, having completed the conquest of Peru, 'multi now tarn his-attention to the .invasion of, Cuba ; and from the enfeebled and distracted state of the 'Spanish Government there, no doubt was entertainedof its becoming an easy_conqueat.—' The Herald passed in lat. 48.36.
