CIIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY ------- Extructsfront the ilfol-nzng Papers, June 30, 1325. . , [THE TIMES] - 'ln the VsbOn - Gatetie of the 6th inst.'we find a very curious article on the e'Xisting relations between Portugal and Brazil, the object of which seems to be to prepare the former fora renun ciation of its Sovereignty over the latter, and to coax the latter into a purchase of its indepen dence,, on better terms, from the former, while it bespeaks from both a friendly, union and mu tual conciliation. It begins rather ominously by Stating, that in.. viewing the actual situation of the two countries, the politician would ieedg nize the influence. of foreign causes, set it motion by the anarchical frenzy which had convulsed Europe for the last thirty. years. It then pro ceeds- in the usual jargon of official diplomacy to detail; the overthrow of revolutionary power by the arms of the Iloly Alliance and the magic influence of ligitimacy, and observes, that being driven from Europe, that power took refuge in America; where, protected by an intervening ocean, : it, still nourishes its audacious hopes, and proclaims its pernicious principles. From this commencement the reader would be led to ex pect that an expedition was about - to sail, or a proclamation-of war to he issued, against the re volutionay usurpation of the Emperor Peter 1., but we find that it is merely an introduction to a history *of his Faithful Majesty's exertions to improve the political, condition, and to se cure • the- lasting gratitude, of that portion . of his former dominions. The arrival of hii Majesty at Rio Janeiro in 1808, is - compared to that of a " creating star," which spread peace and life over that extensive empire. He did every" thing in his power to secure its - tranquillity and to ameliorate its institutions, and he met with an appropriate reward in the transports of gratitude and oaths of eternal fidelity with which his bone .fits were received. Meanwhile, his kingdom of Portugal, by : its heroic valour and the assist ance of his allies, had driven Us invaders across the - Pyrenees-; but the sacrifices which it had incurred in so glorious a struggle had occasioned difficulties which ultimately brought about. the Revolution of 18'20. This state of things rendered it necessary for the " tutelar genius of Portugal" (as King John is "called). to return to Europe ; but in re tiring from Brazil, he provided for its happiness by leaving his beloved son at the head of its af fairs; with almost absolute and independent authority. The recall of this Prince—the violent separation of Brazil from Portugal—and the de claration of war between the mother country and its former colony—are all ascribed to the late Portuguese Cortes. In the view of his Majesty, Brazil had no reason to complain of its situation, or•olthe rights asserted by the mother country, which implied no oppression, and scarcely even subjection, being perfectly unlike the claims of Spain over her South American possessions. The' inference which the writer of the ar- . ticle wishes to draw from this statement is not explicitly declared. He puts Brazil in the wrong for its hostility to Portugal, and accuses it,' - of ingratitude towards his Faithful -Majesty, but does not point out how that wrong may be repaired, or that ingratitude eitpiateil. The conclusion its - which nothing is concluded" to which he comes, is the expression of a ltOpe. that the malignant influence of -prejudice which sepa-. rates the two countries, may be destroyed, and that the benevolent regard of his Majesty towards Brazil may create corresponding sentiments to wards him on the part of its inhabitant 4. The real object of the whole article appears to be what we have stated above. Mr. Canning; has at length broke ground upon the claims of British merchants on the Exche quer of Ferdinand. If we did not mistake the tone of the Foreign SecreLary, he was far from tieing annoyed at Lord J. Russell, for extorting Erin'. -him the. interesting fact that Spain had ti-trkrrn eyery - possible impediment in the way of justice towards our countrymen—that the claims already .known exceeded two - millions of : money, arld , in plain English, that we might whistle for payment, if we did not find some way of redress ing-our own wrong. We feel repugnance in speak ing at all ab - Oot.trte wretched animal who stands in the front of the picture whenever Spain is look ed at by an Englishman. Contempt and disgas,t,in no degree short of loathingi are the sensations which swilitg: to one's throat whenever his name is breathed. NVhi should Mr. Canning plague hirryself o the people of England by attempts to negociate, as it is called, with one who has no apparent sensed right existing any were beyond his owo den, but as something which he may outrage with ,impunity?.

The Crown made over its claim to the booty captured in the successful war of 1817, 1818, for the benefit of the . Deccan 'army ; but the 'civil servants of the Company having gathered 'up the spoil as fast as it was conquered, great diffi culty arose in ascertaining for the army how much had been captured, into what hands it had been transfetred, 'and 'by what means it might be traced and recovered. The principles of distri bution were soon fixed; that is to say, the ques tion, of, " who were to be entitled ?" The real problem was, the amount of the booty and its recovery. For a settlement of all claims, and for the satisfaction of the army, the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Arbuthnot were named trustees by the Crown, to act for the benefit of the captors. The first and obvious duty of the, trustees, therefore, was to promote their just in terests. But, strange to say, his Grace and his associate are broadly accused of having rendered themselves wholly inaccessible to the parties for whom they had undertaken to act; refusing all intercourse with their chosen agents, and refus ing any communication as to the source's where they (the trustees) were to obtain' the neces sary knowledge, or as to the nature and mag nitude of the claims which were prosecuted by the Company against their own military-defenders. We saw the letters signed Wellington addressed on these poin ts to Sir T. Hislop; and have no scruple in affirming that the perusalfilled us with a mixture of _shame and indignation. Master Arbuthnot, it appears, Was 'not appointed agent, to the injury of the gentlemen who had toiled through the hardships of the office, and were entitled in all honour and fair dealing Co the fruits of it. We Are, on the contrary, assured by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that Mr. Arbuthnot's merit reached no further than the intent to thrust his son info the agency. This may throw light on the meaning of the Methodists, when they inform us that ""1-lell is paved with geod intentions." Mr. Robinson made but a sorry defence for his clients ; and, indeed, on the face of it, the advo cate was not the person in fault. The business must come before Parliament. Men of hard and haughty natures must be taught that society is not a walled garrison, nor the fiat of a Field-, Marshal the law of the British empire.—(/bid.) [BRITISH PRESS.] The commercial treaty with Colombia is• the consummation .of a great work, giving politica existence, and 'securing freedom and independence to•that Republic, and opening new arid rich channelS of enterprise to our own countrymen. The,question of South American independenCefs now de*Cided, not only in fact, but in form. Spain . is too feeble , to • make any attempt against her revolted - colonies, and England has made known her determination that no other Power shall.in terfere in the struggle. The course followed by the English Government with relation tolthis con test, is worthy of being recalled to notice. The po . - sition of England at the general peace of 1815-wa s , as regarded this question, one of great difficulty. By treaty. Flte l land was bound to take !no part iu favour of the revolted colonies. On the one hand, the . ri.fore - , his Majesty's Ministers had to preserve the public faith ; on the other, to foster and protect the commercial interests that had grown out of tie intercourse with these prOvinces. The Foreign - ! - •Enlistment Bill, a measure so strongly opposed,ritjhe period of its enactment, was the fruit of their duty towards the King of Spain: The Act of Navigation, by which the flag of the revolted colonies was admitted into the British Ports as. that of a power de facto independent, was the fruit of their duty to wards the commerce of the country. Repeat ed endeavours were made to urge Spain to pre cede England in the recognition of the independ ence of the new American States, and it was ex pressly declared, that if Spain could obtain anv terms more favou ra bl e th an o th er pow e rs, Englan d would be content to fall behind her; and rank with the other powers in such privileges as they might he able to Obtain. Spain was obstinate. Whether constitutional or despotic, she was re solved, if possible, to reduce her colonies to un conditional submissiOn. Failing in these at tempts to persuade the mother 'country, for her own sake, to be reasonable, the English Govern ment at last sent out Commissioners to report to them the actual condition of the.new States, and 9n the representations of these Commissioners, it Was decided to recognise the independence of Mexico, Colombia, and Buenos Ayres, the three which had made the most ptogress in the firm es tablishment of their respective Goverments.-- Never was there a negotiation full of more dif ficulties. Never were difficulties more admira bly surmounted. [SIOItNII4G HERALD. j In the Evidence on the Combination Laws we were much struck with an observation of a' weaver, who said,- that - since those odious laws had been - rescinded,' wages on the whole' had been much better, and he concluded by drawing this inference, that the increase of wages had caused the decrease of Poor Kates. 'Adam Stpiih, Dr, Macculloch, Mr. Ricardo, and the whole tribe of writers and speakers on political econOny, never put forth more truth than is con tained in this proposition of the weaver. We ques tion whether Adam Smith and the others have let out so - much light. This simple ,position of the - lvea-ver's:. is, possibly the best reason to gi%en Why there ought to be no law to prevent work people from - cofnbining and bargaining with their rosters regarding the price of work. " The higher Me - wages, -the lower the Poor IZates. This sentence ought ; to go' down in conjunction 'with that of the Ere - n 6 Merchant, who said to Col bert; When he asked what he could - do for trade, nothing," " We are glad" to see that Mr. h'flume is so obstinate in his oPposition:to a new girt tharshotad be full of coercive clauses, but at Ow time the law ought to be severs _and summary for the punishment of such tqlt reis - as ShOUld,' whether by vitriol •or :other diabolic means, seek prevent -others from -work-1.4 for whom, and at such prices as they pleas ed. We are greatly av'ers'e to making a laW that should put it in the. power of- masters to become despotic towards those they employ ; but, on the other hand, the law should be severe and prompt to punish despostism on the part of the employed. The idea of men dashing vitriol into each other's eyes is horrible—quite as much so as Thurtell's cold-blooded murder. And that this should have happened in this enlightened century, and among the peculiarly enlightened people of Scotland—..those who pride themselves so much on the education bestowed on them by their employers ! Why, if the working class of the people generally were to proceed as those people have proceeded, it would be enough' to sicken their employers from giving them educa tion, or being at the trouble and expence of be stowing on them Tracts or Bibles. [MORNING POST.] The .only business of any conseqUence in. Pa rliament last night was the further consideration of the Combination Laws in the Commons.' Alm Hume, who seems now to have forgotten what he introduced into his own Bill last year, vehe mently opposed the present as " fatal to the liberty of the Operatives," because it contained' a clause - which he originated himself at that.pe- . riod. This, had it been applied to some other parts of the former measure, might have been an act of justice and magnanimity, but as it was, the Ho nourable Metnber happened to hit on that clause in his own Bill which most deserved to be retained, as affording the means of furnishing those who by threats, intimidation, or violence, should interfere with the perfect freedom of la bour. Mr. liobhouse was the only Member who supported him in - his opposition, and both had the happiness of finding.themselves countenanced by . each other, when, on a division on' the question of receiving the Report of the Bill, it turned out that they formed the whole of the minority:-..- The measure introduced by Lord Suffield in the House of Lords some time since, for, abolishing the use of spring guns generally, was lost last nightio the Commons on the question that the Bill do pass, by a majority. of one., • [NEW Timm.] The Combination Laws formed the chief busi ness which occupied the. House of Commons last night. Mr. Hobhouse presented a petitiom from a number of mechanics, who' acted as dele gates from their fellow workmen, which gave rise to an animated debate,' when the argu ments and 'assertions advanced by Mr. Hume, and various misrepresentations, were ably re- 1 plied to and exposed by Mr. Peel. Mr. W.Sinith, Sir F. Burdett, Mr..Huskisson, and many. other Members, joined. in the dismission. Upon Mr. Wallace moving for the bringing' up of .the Re port on the Work Men Combination Pill, Mr. Hume pertinaciously renewed his opposition, a► i d wholly undismayed by the' former defeats, he persisted in dividing the House, when.the Hon. Member I'm' Aberdeen found himself in .a most discouraging minority—there` being only two votes against the considering of the .Report.— A very unlooked-for result attended the third reading of the Spring , Guns Bi l l. Mr. 'fenny- . son, the .great suppOrter of the measure, was dis satisfied with the alterations that had been made, and joined in the opposition, and the Bill was thrown out on a division by a majority of 32 votes to 31 in its favour. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] There is something indescribably malicious in the attempt which the Chancellor made on Mon day night to bring down the public wrath on his adversaries,_ by denouncing them as the imme diate cause of his adhesion to office. A mor e cruel attempt to render a number of individuals responsible for an affliction which is so imps, tiently borne by the community, .we have Dever heard of ; and we cannot but question whether the laws of political hostility permit 'of resort to a manoeuvre so calculated to..cover an enemy with unmerited odium. It seems to us savage End dangerous to the last degree. Had the Lord Chancellor assailed his foes with the vituperation of his champion in . Th e Courier, we should have considered it as comparatively fair; we would willingly have permitted him the full.use of the vocabulary commonly in request on such occa sions, and he might have talked, ad libitum, of " sordid libellers," " un b lus hi ng " f a l se h oo ds," cc filth of,a factiou s P ress, " "rancorous spirit _ of hostility," unrelenti ng f ury ° of persecullo," &c. &c. without transgressing the bounds of civilized wordy warefaiv ; but there is a re. finement: of cruelty i n mar ki ng out cer t a i n persons as Objects for pnbliC spleen, by decrib ing them.As having been the instruments which have nailed him to the Woolsack, that, we cannot condemn in terms of suffirient severity. With a more excitable population it would be impos sible to speculate on the extent of the mischiefs which might haVe arisen from this singular and cruel. charge----“ These are the men who keep tne in place," says the Chancellor- 7 " but Gs's. them: .1. should have retired !wig ago." That is, this, but an instigation 'to stone the authors of the grievance ? To point outdo the crew the pilot who has run t h e ship on the, rock, is to suggest the flingi ng of him into the sea, and to denounce certain persons as' the proximate causes'of a de plored evil is to prompt to punishment. A. feels that he is a perpetual blister, and he cries, " make me stick." Does not this turn the patient:s wrath against BI - It ever there was a speech calculated to produce a breach of the peace it was that of the Chancellor on the occa sion to which we allude, and we have to thank the good Sense andlemPer of the town, that no barns happened to Messrs..

[TrIE PUBLIC._I4DGER .J Ave . have received the Paris Papers of Mon day,- and 'The Etoile of Tuesday ; but with the exception of some extracts in the latter from The Greek • Chronicle of Missolonghi, their contents are wholly, uninteresting. 'These extracts, which. come down only to. the 7th 'of May, may be looked upon as• a - proof of the successful progress of the enemy,. as other wise news of a much later date from that in teresting theatre might have been received. It is proper, however, to observe, that in the tone of them there is nothing to justify the infer ence of imminent danger ; and from this circum tance we draw good augury, because the spirits of the. Journal must have great influence on the defence of the place. It was on the 27th of 'April that the Turkish army of the SeraSkier took up a , position in the Olive Gardens near Missolonghi. The next day, they were driven from this'position, after a smart action ; but the Turks rallying, the 'Greeks were compelled to retire under the cannon of the fortress. But, if it be true that the loss of the Greeks consisted only, in one -man - killed and eight wounded, the action cannot have been very hot, or, in other words, their resistance upon this occasion was .any thing but obsti nate.. The Greeks, however, are said to be very active, for which -due allowance, how ever, must be made ; and, .as late as the 7th of May, the enemy is state!' to have made no impression upon the place. :The Turks had, in all probability only a few .field pieces at that period, as the nature of the country through which they had previously passed, rendered the transport of heavy artillery wholly Impracticable. Till the arrival of the Captain PaCha's fleet, the ..Opera tions of a regulqr siege could not commence ; - arid till then, all opiniou as to ,the probable fate of the place must be suspended. , S TREATY A,VITII COLO:11E1A.

Downing-street, with the ratification of the Treaty between this country and the Republic of Colombia.
