THE LONDON JOURNALS. DA 1 , :.1" Extrlictsfi on: the 31orning Papers, April 16,1825. [NEW T reir.s.ll The dispatches of Sir Archibald Campbell, the late Commander-in-Chief at Rangoon, (hut who .has since unfortunately perished by apo plexy) contain accounts of a successful expedi tion against Martaban, a sea-port town and for tress, some way to the eastward of Rangoon, and giving name to the Gulf formed by that part of the coast of Pegue. The place appears to have - bees well protected by military works with many pieces of cannon mounted, and a garrison of three or foot th-euaand men. But nothing could resist the Skill and bravery of the English assailants, and on the 30th October some of the out-works kaving been carried by assault, the Burmans were quickly driven from the town, am.l thus Abe two chief ports of the Burman empire are now in our possession. Some discredit *has been thrown upon the report wikiclt w' mentioned yesterday, of the assassination of • the Burmese Monarch, but simply because the party who were alleged to have succeeded to ewer had not yet proposed terms of negociation to the Bri!isb, Which it was thought they naturally would ha l e done. It does not appear to us that thin reasoning is conclusive : some time may naturaily be expected to elapse before the parties newly in possession of power would commit them selves by any decided measure either of a pacific of -- hostile character. Sir Archibald Campbell's last "%Eclat dispatches were dated on the 7th No vember, and the. account of the assassination was only cw7lmunicated to the British authorities at Rangoon the day preceding. It was a story ex tremely minute and particular; and not likely to be fabricated with so much art, except for , some important object ; but what object will be riswerett by a story of this kind, which had no • relation to any military operations at that time harrying on, and could neither be expected to accelerate or to retard any measures in contem plation on the part of the British ? Violent and bloody convulsions are not uncommon among these barbarous people. Mrs. J udson's book, to . which we have before referred, gives au account of the succession of the King to the Throne in 1819. On the death of his grandfather, who immediately preceded him, it was supposed that his two uncles would contest the right of succession ; but he prevented this by seizing and executing one of them, with his family and adherents, and breaking the limbs of the other,, who shortly' after died in prison.—ln so barbarous a despotism, nothing can be more probable than that the successes of • the British should have induced the King to discard at once the party by whom he had been long surrounded, or that their fears and apprehensions should have driven them to the desperate expedient of de stroying their Monarch. [BRITISH PRESS:I Advice% were yesterday received from Colom bia, by which we learn that the resolution of the Isitish Government to recognise the indepen decce of the New States had been received at Garthagena, where the joy it had occasioned was excessive. Public illuminations and rejoicings had been continued for several days and nights. The intelligence, it is expected, will produce the greatest sensation in every part of South America. It was announced by the publication of an Extraordinary Gazette, and the Liveliest manifestations of delight immediately ensued.-1 The accounts from Bogota were to the 29th of January. They state that Bolivar was in cor-I respodence with Olaneta, w-ho had openly de clared for the patriotic cause. This information has been already announced so many times, that we Fly little attention to this new version of it. The congress were sitting, but their de liberations were confined to matters of do mestic importance. The letters from Cartha geba are to the 15th of February, and from is Gitayra to the 3d of March. They relate exclusively to commercial affairs. Co!. Campbell bad not arrived at Caraccas on the V of March, but intelligence had been received there of his I having reached Barbadoes. One letter states that the Spanish forces which had surrendered in Peru were to embark on board the Asia and the other ships of war frona.Spain, which were bound by the terms of the capitulation to abstain from all hostilities, and so return direct to Eu rope, " so that," the letter states, " this long tallLett-of Spanish squadron, instead of being of the 4east assistance to the Royal cause, has just arrived in time to carry back the wreck of the Royal forces." • _ [THE TIMES.] From the ilop, - ota Constitutional we learn that complaints are made in that capital of erroneous rinciples having been adopted in the for/nation *f the customs' tariff of Colombia, as well as of certain aggravations which the system has received from the manner in which it is executed. The first objection stated that the import duties have been fixed too high ; and from this fact the English render will he at no loss to draw the necessary inferences—that a considerable check has been given to legal importation, .and a proportioua4 bounty offered to the smuggler.-- Another source of dissatisfaction has been, that the scale according •to which the value of the goods is estimated is incorrectly' drawn U. The valuations, by what we can gather, are per manent, instead of being adjusted to the fluctua tions of the market, and to the incessant -shifting in the price of goods ; as, for instance, cotton goods imported, and subject by law -to an ad v:ziorern duty of 17i per cent, are valued So high bi the Colombian officers, 35 to extract from the importer a duty of T 7 or per cent., to the enormous injury of the British manufacturer, of the merchant, of the Colombian consumer himself, whose comforts experience a correspond diminution from the superadded.price. The motive to this official overcharge is manifestly a paternal care of the revenue ; and, indeed, we suspect that it would be quite impossible to teach the Custorn-41ouse officers as a body, any snore enlightened method of promoting the public good. But if low duties are, as they have proved themselves, the most liberal feeders of the na tional finance, undoubtedly this Custom-house expedient for building one high tax upon another, must have a fearful tendency in the opposite direction. it appears from the Bogota state ments, that smuggling is the only trade which has profitted much by these unfortunate prac tices of the Colombian Customs, and that the receipts into the treasury are for the same rea son deplorably out of comparison with the mag nitude of the duties. Such a consequence could never have been meditated by the Con gress of Colombia, nor by the Government. The evi!, too,-is the more to be lamented, because the bUlk of the revenue in that couniry is de rived from taxes on importation. Bolivar, when he return, will not scruple, we are sure, to profit by the example of the English 'Minister, and to recommend to Congress a reduction of the corn , mercial duties as the most fertile source of riches to the State. With respect to the other charge hinted at above,—we mean the bona fide adoption of the ad valorem scale, estimated by the actual price of the article, and not by the exacting spirit of the Custom-house,—there is on the face of it this objection, viz. the possibility that the merchant might under-rate the cost, for the sake of a frau dulent reduction of the duty. The remedy would, on the other hand, be • simple enoughnarnely, giving an option to the Custom-house to take the goods at the merchant's valuation, paying him 10 per cent. over, as profits of trade. This, with a general reduction of duties, it is conceived, - would be a sufficient guarantee against fraud, a queller of smuggling, an encouragement to fair and open commerce, and an immediate stimulant to the revenue. If, as we once already observed, the Go vernment or Old Spain, or the revenue department of Old France, had been concerned, we should have despaired of convincing their reason, or pre vailing over their inveteracy on questions like this. But infant republics, if they labour tinder some of the - disadvantages belonging to another kind of infancy, have at least its freedom from prejudice to redeem them. We have little doubt that the Colombian Government will - . soon per ceive, and endeavour to remove these commercial evils—thus reaping for its own citizens even more than an equivalent for the benefits it bestows upon other nations. [MORNING ct-ittoxicLEd We received, at a late hour last night, the Pas-is Papers of Wednesday, with the Etoile of Thursday. Elsewhere we have given extracts from them. The speech of M. Royer Collard in the Chamber of Deputies, in the Sitting of the 12th, seems to have tnade a profound impression. M. de Peyronnet and the crafty Jesuit, the Bishop of Ilermopolis, took notes of it. The following passage towards the conclusion is very striking: 44 In breaking a long silence, I wished to mark my keen opposition to the Theocratic principle which threatens religion and society at the same time—a principle the more, odious that the torch is not kindled in our days, as in the days of barbariousness and ignorance, by the sincere fury of an excessive zeal. There is no Dominick now, and neither are we Albi genses (marked movement in the Assembly.) The Theocracy of our times is less religious than political ; it forms a part of that sys. tern of universal re-action, by which we are carried away ; what recommends it is, that it has a counter revolutionary aspect.—Un doubtedly, Gentlemen, the Revolutiou was impious even to fanaticism, even to cruelty. But let.us beware, it was this crime more especially which ruined it, and we may predict to the counterrevolution, that reprisals ,of cruelty,. though merely written, will bear testimony against it, and will sully it in its turn (strong rumour on the right). There are times when penal laws in matters of religion give to the disposition a character of atrocity. Montes quieu has said this, and - the history of latter ages proves it. We may judge that there are other times when these same laws are only a degrading corruption. Remember, Gen tlemen, the old age of the great King, and of the days which followed the days which. came so close on the Revolution. Consult respecting that sad period the most pious and wise conternpOra ries. Fenelon wrote these very - words on the 15th March, 171'2, three years before the death of Louis the Fourteenth :-- 4 The present morals of the nation throw every one into the most vio lent temptation to attach himself to the strongest by all sorts of meanness, cowardice, blackness, i and treachery.' [MORNING POST.] The number of Petitions against the Bill for Catholic Emancipation increases in both Houses. Their character also is changed. They are no longer from the Clergyalone, but proceed from the body of the people, which it had been a matter of boast was totally indifferent to the admission of the Catholics to political power. The sarcasms of those who attempted to prevent the Clergy from exercising a right deemed sacred when eKvrted by other classes have therefore been of some utility. If the people were indifferent to the progress of unconditional concessions, they have roused their feelings and cleared their sight. They have shewn them what the Catholics might be tempted to do when once in possession of power in the State ; for if their Protestant Ad cates use that with which they are invested, to siut out the Clergy of the Established Church from the exercise of the must important of their Constitutional rights, the Catholics them selves cannot be expected to do less. Nay, it that th e y should is natural do more, acid that they should consider themselves in gratitude bound to complete the work of their friends, that is to say, the overthrow of an Establishment po werful ly shaken and partially laid in ruins to make room for their admission. `t is not only the practice, it is the duty of good soldiers who have once got a footing - on the breach, to press f o rward till the whole city be in their power — an d the Catholics are Tacticians who both know what is, and how to execute, their duty. —The business in the Commons last night was of very little importance. The House hav ing resolved itself i n to a Committee of Sup ply, Mr. W. Horton obtained a vote of 30,0001.1 to encourage emigration from the South of Ire land to the Canadas. This he stated to be done principally k the light of a great national ex periment, the object of which was 'to place the emigrants in such a situation as to enable them to maintain themselves by the exertion of their in dustry. Mr. Martin of Galway also obtained leave to bring in a Bill fur allowing all persons charged with capital crimes to be defended by Counsel. [TIIP. PUBLIC LEDGER.] The rumours of an approaching Congress have received a partial confirmation from an article in the Haunburgh Papers, which reached us yester day.. In this article, which is given undm•r the head St. Petersburgh, it is positively stated that the Emperor of Russia will, in the course of the present month, open the Polish Diet in person. — As this journey to Warsaw is simultaneous with that of the Emperor of Austria to Italy, we should not be surprised to find that it was merely a blind to conceal the project of a much longer excur sion. This is the year, too, when, according to the principle of regular rotation, one of the tri ennial,meetings of the Holy AllianCe ought to take place; and it is not to be presumed that they will set the example in their own persons of violating one of their own regulations. That some suspicion of this kind strongly prevails on the Continent, may be seen from the gloom that hangs_ over the money market every where ; and we•fear too that it will be confirmed, unless our own . Government has influence enough to dis pel this incipient cause of alarm. Our hopes, however, are any thing but sanguine, particu larly as. England has decided for herself on the subject of South America, without consulting the wishes of the Continenal Powers ; and it is therefore highly probable that they will take their own course in this instance, without mind ing her objections. Yet, if she thought it worth her while to persist in her opposition, she could alarm the Holy Alliance excessively, and perhaps compel them to desist from their scheme.— But Ministers have probably no intention of occupying such lofty ground, particularly as the consequences might be doubtful, and the risk exceed the benefit they had in contemplation. We do not know whether the change which has again taken place, as to the period of the Coronation of the French King, has any connection with the project of a Congress, although in fixing this ceremony for the end of next month, it is clear that it cannot interfere with the reported meeting of Sove reigns, which could not conveniently occur before June, should it take place at all.-- From the same article, which speaks of its being the determination of the Emperor Alex ander to open the Polish Diet in person, we learn that Mr. Stratford Canning was on the point of quitting St. Petersburgh, in consequence of having completed the object of his mission, which chiefly related, it is said, to the adjust ment of the differences respecting the North west coast of America. It lied been said more than once, that his mission had no other object, and we begin now to suspect that it em braced several, but that it has succeeded only in one. If the interest of Greece formed part of his instructions, the results have not corresponded with the liberality of the design ; and this probably is one of the questions upon which the Members of the Holy Alliance arrogate a right to decide. In the mean time, a Noble Lord, whose name, however, is not to be found in the list of our Peerage, is announced in the Petersburgh article, as ap- pointed to succeed Mr. Ward, as English Am bassador in Russia. By substituting Lord Strang ford for Lord Gisborne, we should make the announcement more intelligible than it is at pre sent ; whilst the appointment of the former Nobleman would offer a clue to the course which Ministers intend to pursue with respect to Greece. [MORNING HERALD.] The affairs of the Church of Ireland have been for once adverted 10, and some serious abuses pointed out, in the House of Commons, without any difference of opinion. The union of parishes for the purpose of enriching the incumbent, has long been regarded as a crying injustice. There were few abuses that brought more odium on the Established Church— some of the heads of which in Ireland had already taken means for its discontinuance. Even among the Clergy themselves it was a subject of secret or express ed discontent—for the favoured pluralists must always be a minority. The Primate, it appears, had already discarded altogether tie granting of faculties to hold united livings with his immediate authority. His conduct, however, instead of being adopted as a rule, seems to be rather an exception. From the manner in which the sub ject was treated by all thUse who alluded to it, there can be no doubt the abuse will be checked, The evil is• just as great and the absurdity as glaring, as non-residence. It matters little whether the incumbent be an ab sentee, or be charged with a local extent of duties to which he is incompetent. • There is another subject to which more attention should be given —the maintaining of parish schools by the Established Clergy. This is the more necessary from the outcry and alarm excited by the Bible Society Schools. In the for mer schools the Catholic poor would have less fear of proselytism, and would send their chil dren more freely. After recent occurrences, it is quite obvious the Kildare street Society schools can do no good among them. They %sere besides, getting into disrepute with the majority of the Irish Prelates and Clergy. The wealth of the Church will be unenvied and inviolable, while it is fairly distributed, and the duties anneNed to it worthily performed. There is a c urious speech of the celebrated Lord Faulkland, sp oken by him in the House of Commons in 1641, re specting the abuses and perils of the Church at the iitune,i,,io nlu bi to which Episcopacy at last fell a vic tim. s ascribes e. man, who was attached to Episcopacy, great wealth Id the . dev " oi l 'a% its approachiug ruin to its leLg ua y indolence of the Episcopal t says he, " peperit divitias, J" fr ern •" lie illustrates his m eaning by a homely, but ingenious - fable. "We shall," says he,' " find them (the higher Clergy) to have been like the hen in .lEsop, which laying every day an egg on such a proportion of barley, her mis tress increasing her proportion, in hope she would increase her eggs, she grew so fat upon that addition that she never laid more—so though at first their ,preaching was the cause . of their preferment, they after made their prefer/pent the occasion of their not preaching." Ap active and vigilant performance of their duties is, for this reason and others, incumbent on the Irish beneficed Clergy.—Exercise in this way will prevent their wealth from becoming an in dolent unseemly and fatal plethora. The have, besides, two adversaries to combat. Every body knows that there is a c►ass of zealous Protest ° ants studiously, though somewhat covertly, making converts from the Establishment. On the other hand, the Roman Catholic Priests are strenuously bestirring themselves. With such competitors tse Established Clergy have evident need to be on the alert, and to be aware of oc cupying individually more ground tha❑ each is reasonably competent to defend. UNREQUITED AFFECTION. Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was taken at the Barking Dog public-house, North-street, City-road, before THOMAS STint.ixo, Esq. and I.JxvitN, jun. Esq. Coroners, on the body of Frances Harriett lleardson. Edward Green, jun. of Islington Wharf, Regent's Canal , deposed, that on .Monday evening, soon after nine o'clock, a person knocked at his door, and said a young woman had just thrown herself into the water. Heinstantly repaired to the spot (near the bridge, City-road), with drags, and got the de ceased out of the Canal. Thomas Heardson, a pipe -maker, residing in Arthur-street, Golden-lane, father of the deceased, was then sworn.—For two or three weeks past, he said, she had been in a distressed state of mind, and talked incoherently about a young man who had " kept company" with her. On Monday evening that young man called upon her, and they walked out together. They re turned in about three quarters of ailliour, and witness heard them talking at the street door. Shdrtly afterwards he heard the door shut, and he never saw his daughter again. She was ill on Sunday. He should not consider her in a sound state of mind, and had no doubt she threw herself into the water. She was 26 years of age last January. John Jay, of Wrest-place, City-road, the young man to whom the last witness alluded, was sworn , and deposed, that he saw the deceased on Monday evening. He could not say how long before she destroyed herself. He received a note from her on that day requesting an interview. He called on her in the even ing, and expressed his surprise that she should write to him, as he did not wish to see her any more. He had known her about six months, but was " not keeping company with her." Heardson—Not keeping company—what then ? Why you were with her on Friday. The letter from the deceased to the witness was then handed to the Coroner and Jury, and clearly proved the intimacy which subsisted between them. Mr. STIRLING-It is plain from this letter that you had gained the affections of this young woman, and have since de serted her. Your conduct is very reprehensible, and you now see the ill effects of it. Mr. Green (a Juror) to the Witness—Did not the deceased tell you that she would destroy herself? No, Sir, she did not. Juror—A paper was found pinned in her pocket. Were you not with her when she bought the paper ? The witness acknow ledged that he was, but she toll him it was to write a letter to her sister. Juror—You left her a few minutes after nine ; on your oath, did she not tell you that she would destroy herself? No, she did not. Mr. STIRLING—If the Jury thought the deceased was in an unsound state of mind at the time, they would say so by their verdict. Verdict—" Insanity." At a vestry meeting on Thtirsday Edmon ton, the Rev. Mr. WARREN, the Vicar, muved (purSuant to notice given at a former vestry) " that a petition against further concessions to the Catholics be read, and presented to Parlia ment," when the Rev. Mr. WILLtAms moved an amendment, " that the consideration of the petition now proposed to be read be adjourned sine die," which was carried unanimously. The original motion for the petition against the Catholic Claims was consequently lost. The Leeds and Wakefield 'rolls were let at an advance of eleven hundred and twenty pounds a few days since. MR.. SAVER Y.—Respecting the probable fate of this unfortunate man, the Editor of the Bristol Gazette says, the usual time for execution would expire on Friday week, and the authorities for seeing the same fulfilled in this city had received no communication on the subjcaof postponement.

COURT OF CHANCERY ~APRIL IN THE MATTER OF BENNETT A BANARCPT,- The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the Court to have the advertisement of bankruptcy in Saturday night's Gazette stay ed by order of the Court. The bankrupt resided at Fowey. in Cornwall, of which borough he is Mayor, and the affidavit which he founded his motion stated that the bankrupt was tilc, e " Consul for Sweden and Norway, and recognized agent for Lloyds ; that his entire debts did not amount to 8001., and tha, he had considerable property in stock in the 3 per Cents , anc ` that no legal petitioning creditor's debt whatever was die 11 him. The LORD CHANCELLOR—If you can show me the Oh! is not as represented in the docket papers, and that it is vqi such a debt as the Commission should have issued upon. interfere. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the Commission, if pr o p ceeded in, would be a political Commission against Bennett a Company. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had nothing to do wi th ffi politics,. he had only to take care there was sucient in t he proceedings to warrant the adjudication. Mr. MoNTAGIT said, it was well to proceed with some ca t " tion in such cases. The Lout) CHANCELLOR—I am happy at length-to bl e e such an admission. It was too generally the doctrine of tb present day, that there was to be no caution—that it was :Tr be discountenanced altogether. There was an o ld. se ntence Latin, not very classical, but which was perfectly applicabl " eta such doctrine—" Qui pauca con.7iderat facile prununciabit. Mr. MoNmott, just before the rising of the Court, A tre jd : timed this case, which lay over for an affidavit from ," Bennett, atrain.
