111 E LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extruett from the Morning Papers,Oet. 13, 1825. [HORNING CHRONICLE.] We can state positively that the puke of Buck ingham has been offered the Governor-General ship.of India, and though we are not enabled to !..tatir• that he has accepted the offer, we know thatlii,i- Grace has gone so far as to make pro positions to gentlemen, of whose services he wished to avail himself, provided he went to India. Whether his Grace means to play off a little coquetry, to enhance the importance of the surrender of the services of one who•fills such a space in the eye of the country,—or whether he actually balances between the grandetir of a Go vernor-Generalship, preceded as it must be by rather, a painful, physical, not mental training, ‘fordillidencein his mental qualifications for the skuatiou is the last weakness which we should think of laying to the charge of the Noble Duke), and the pleasures which a wealthy Peer can always procure in England, we have no means of knowing. We should suspect, however, that now that the contemplation of the Ducal Co ronet ceases from familiarity to give the satis faction it once did , and that no farther con quests in the way of honours remain to be achieved at home, he may not improbably feel desirous of exploring a fresh field of ambition in the gorgeous East. His Grace has truly regal feelings in all that relates to state and pageantry, as was evinced by the style in which he navigated the Western Islands of Scotland last year, con voyed by a ship of war. In India he will be qaite in his element. Such personal qualities as his Grace possesses are held in high admiration in that part of the world, and as the celebrated 711arquess of Alontrose, who achieved such sur prising victories with the Highlanders, does not live in their traditions, while his bulky associate Macdonald is yet the theme of their wonder, we have no doubt that in like manner the great Duke of Buckingham will, be famous among the Brarnins long after the Marquess Wellesley, his mettlesome but puny predecessor, has been for gotten. As for the interests of the people of England, as they are never consulted in these ar rangements, it is of no earthly use considering in what manner they are likely to be affected by the appointment of his Grace to the Government of our immense Indian Empire. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Address of the Constituent Congress of Mexico to the people of that State respecting the attempted usurpation of the Pope over them, is a document of great importance, and will be read with deep interest in this part of the world. We rejoice heartily that the Mexican Government have resolved to forbid the exercise of an autho rity which must speedily have overthrown their newly established independence, and destroyed every vestige of their civil and political rights. The Mexicans have adhered hitherto with bigoted fidelity to the Roman Catholic Church. The public celebration of any other description of religious worship is forbidden by their constitution,hut they show by this declaration that they know how to discriminate between civil authority and ec clesiastical supremacy. If the people of Mexico feel in unison with their Representatives (which we can hardly doubt) we need entertain no ap prehensions as to the prevalence in their country of the doctrines which all enlightened Catholics have already condemned in every other region where that Church has attained the ascendancy. The power of releasing subjects from their al legi►►nce, though claimed now with as much au thority as ever, will every year, as general know ledge and the genuine principles of the Christian religion shall be more widely extended, find fewer supporters, and ultimately, we have 110 doubt the pretension will become as empty as that of the King of Spain to the sceptre of Je rusalem. A [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] Some sensation was excited yesterday in the City,. by the receipt of intelligence from Calcutta, dated the 25th of May, in substance as follows : That Prome was occupied by our troops without 'opposition; that Boudoolah, the Burmese Chief, had died of his wounds ; and lastly, that the King - of Ava had maile overtures of peace. We fear that the whole of this intelligence rests upon ,were rumour, though we have strong hopes. from 'the favourable circumstances which had previously transpired, that the only important parts of it, the first and last, will be verified in a short time. It i of the first importance that our troops should get possession of Prome, be fore the rainy season set in, as otherwise they - would be obliged to abandon some of their late acquisitions and march back the way they advanc ed, in order to occupy proper quarters during the continuance of the wet weather. It is, there foret'highly probable that they made a great ef fOrt. to enter Prome ; and from their gallantry, courage, and perseverance, we have little doubt of-their success.—With respect, however, to the 'overtures from the King of Ava, and the conse- quota, prospect of au immediate pacification—we are-tiot so sanguine ; for, in the first place, the statement does not agree with the character of the enemy ; and, in the next, it is wholly incon sistent with our Indian policy, which has been bitheito'based upon' the famous Roman principle —4)fircerc subjectis' debellare superbos.• If we mistake not, the King of Ava, notwithstanding bis reverses, was not sufficiently humbled to.sub snit to the 'terms which, consistently with this po licy, would be imposed upon him by our Indian Government.. Any other pacification, but one founded upon this principle, would , be insecure, and even • shake the founda , - tion of our Indian - Empire, based as it is upon opinion. This may.not be a very agreeable rellectibit . ; but the necessity of ,the thing itself. is palpable; 'and our dominion .in the 'East must • be regulated • by the force of circumstances, and by fine-spun theories. As the Burmese Monarch was not still brought to the temper, in which . he could submit to such conditions, as could alone, with safety be laid liefore.hini for his acceptance, we look upon the prospect of a speedy cessation of hostilities, which some persons are likely to anticipate, in consequence of this intelligence, as highly improbable. Besides, he scarcely would take this step, which he probably knew, meant absolute submission, at the approach of the rainy season, which would suspend hostilities for about three months, and 'leave him, during the in terval, the state of an independent Sovereign. Besides, lie would flatter himself, that some thing favourable would turn up in the inter vening period ; and it strikes us strongly that another campaign, if not two, will take place, before we can convince the Indian world, that in this war we have established our reputation for invincibility, as fully as in any preceding contest in that part of the world. To obtain this result, the only legitimate end of any struggle, that we can now maintain in India, it may be a measure of indispentlble necessity, that our troop; get possession of the enemy's capital. Such an un equivocal proof of our superiority would silence every objection ; and, if the King of Ava were then dealt with leniently, it would be ascribed, not to fear, but to generosity. From these con siderations we calculate with confidence•upon an other campaign at least; and where would be the wisdom, •,or even justice, of appointing a succes sor to Lord Amherst, as has been rumoured for some time, if there was a prospect of his Lord ship terminating the war with equal promptitude and success ? lie may have entered into it indis creetly, though this is not clearly made out ; but still the eclat with which he conducted it to a close, e3hould certainly exempt him from the pain of being suddenly and uncourteously recalled. The Board of Controul would scarcely venture to act, in this way, if their opinion at all concur red with the hope, indirectly held out in the in telligence before us : and from this circumstance we draw a new argument in favour of a visit to the capital of his Burmese Majesty, before the latter will declare himself vanquished. [THE TIMES.] Ruffianism and outrage are again beginning, the papers say, in Ireland. We know not whe ther this be instinct, or something more delibe rately systematic. Having a short time ago beg ged of our Catholic friends to be quiet, and let the elections pass over without a re-excitement of the no Popery cry, the printed organs of the Ca tholics turn round upon us and exclaim, " When did we get any thing by being - quiet ?" We answer this by saying, that opinion is to be secured by rea son only, and not by turbulence or noise ; that the Catholic question has nothing in common with a " free trade," which broke up English mono poly—for opinion there was not the obstacle ; it was a selfish feeling, which remained as strong at the moment of surrendering the " free trade," as it had been previously, though it had lost the power of self-indulgence. In the same way the grant of its independence to the Irish legislature was not a point which ever could have been made a proper subject of opinion in this country—it was giving up a possession ; every man in Eng land felt that he was conceding a right, whtch he and his ancestors had held in the nature of a pro perty. But it is far otherwise with Catholic emancipation. No Englishman thinks that it is a question between England and another coun try ; no En"glishman is foolish enough to fanCy that the remnant of the penal laws is a security to him for the possession of •Ire land—that it is a point of dominion, or a national dispute. On this question opinion has made, and if judiciously treated will make, large strides amongst us ; the subject is one of domestic policy. Numbers of enlightened men are convinced that England would be an infinite gainer by such a regulation of her internal inte rests as the friends of emancipation propose. If the Catholics are wise, therefore, we tell them (and they ought to know and feel by this time that our hearts are in the, measure), to let the above sentiment work. It is no matter of rivalry between England and Ireland--it is an argument between liberal and illiberal policy, like that of remitting commercial duties, and so forth. It was a question in Ireland itself between mono poly and the opposite system; but in Ireland it is already settled : it is now an English question, and must be carried by English means. Let our 'friends in Ireland give us credit for some little knowledge of this country. [NEW TIMES.] " Great movements," says some intelligence from Frankfort, dated the Bth of October, " are taking place in Bessarabia, in the corps of Gen. Sabanieff. The regiments are- concentrating, to be inspected in detail by their Chiefs, in order to be ready for the grand review of the Emperor, when his Majesty shall arrive at the head-quar ters of Kischeneff." This is one of fifty para graphs, perhaps true in fact, perhaps untrue, but certainly not to be depended upon in their in tended inference, which is, that the Emperor of Russia is about in person to invade Turkey. We have several reasons for making us disbelieve such an intention on his part. His personal character, we shall frankly own to be one reason ; the li mited state of the Russian finances another. We doubt very much if they would bear a campaign of any length or consequence against the Turks. .That the Russians may take possession of some of the frontier provinces, which were never of any real strength to Turkey, may be possible enough. So far from feeling jealousy at such a step, those who dislike that Power ought to feel pleasure in it ; for every extension of territory must weaken Russia. Turkey, for airing time, has ceased to be an influential state in the smallest de gree in Europe, and her opposition cannot be ex pected to be of any weight; but if Russia,outof pre tence of assisting the Greeks, should seize on any thing advantageous, realty or in appearance, to herself, the, Emperor must know that Austria, through benevolence of the same disinterested kind, may demand a share ; and that we' have it in our power to turn all parties out of the mari time districts,, and claim them for ourselvps if we, think it w or th w hil e , i n caseof a scramble. In France, th e spoculators, who in all pa r . ties seemto retain the ambition of conquest with which Louis IV. and Buonaparte have inoculated them, appear to be angr y principally because there k no chance for them under any regu. lation. [MORNING POST.] The prosperous and happy condition of Eng land at the present moment is no longer affected to be denied, even by the most factious opponents of Ministers. At the Chester Whig Club Meet ing, however, it will be seen, that while the proud and glorious fact was forced to be ad mitted, the liberal and sapient speechifiers had the candour and modesty to assert that the merit of every thing that has happened entirely belonged to the Whigs ; because, forsooth, they were the early advocates of peace and reduction of taxation ; and this, too, be it well remembered, at a period when the adoption of their advice would in the first instance have entailed indelible disgrace upon the country, and in the second, have effected the ruin of our wise and provident system of Finance, to which alone we were indebted for the essential sinews of war.—Yes, truly and undeniably, these sage patriots did loudly and incessantly clamour for peace, when the war could have been terminated only by-re calling our forces from Spain, relinquishing our just claims, and sacrificing our best interests. Alike incontrovertible is the memorable fact, that they opposed with all their might the m newal of the war after Buonaparte's violation of the peace, by his unprincipled return from Elba to France,whilst,uornindful of the happy falsification of all their dismal forebodings, they seem to reject the important, and to them, unpleasant truth, that it was from not having attended to their advice, or followed their councils, that the implacable foe of Old England was subdued, and overthrown for ever by our arms, on the glorious plains of Waterloo. Let the frustrated slaves of Party only seriously consider these ever-memorable events; and if in the contemplation of them they can find any "flattering unction" for their factious souls, they may be well assured that their heads as politicians, and their hearts as m. , il, will alike remain unenvied by every good and loyal subject in the land. LMORNING HERALD.] In 'a Paper of Monday an attempt was made to answer the objections which we have repeatedly advanced against the very objectionable encroach ment which is about to take place at the south east corner of Ilyde Park. The writer blinks the main point, by stoutly declaring that he will not condescend to discuss the question of right. This is one way of getting rid of a • difficulty cer tainly; but probably his not condescendiug to discuss that point may only serve to convince his readers, that both lie awl his employers are, in fact, unable to do so. The right is what we have all along doubted—we still doubt it; and these doubts are much strengthened by the inability of the Government writer to show that any such power exists. We are then told, as we have been before, that the subject is a trifling one, quite unworthy of. notice, and not to be compared with the advan tages the public will derive from the improve ments going on in the Park. This is nothing to the purpose. If this encroachment is quietly submitted to, there is nothing that are- know of to prevent the whole of the Park being hereafter parcelled out, or given in a lump to some fa voured individual, whose borough, or other:inte rest, may be able to command such a boon from the existing Administration. But the next most weak and amusing argument of all Is, that the objections on this occasion are instigated solely . by a hostile feeling towards the Duke of Wellington. Wt have uniformly spoken of the Duke of Wellington upon the occasion with every degree of respect ; and have expressed our regret that he should run the .risk of losing the good opinion of the public, by deigning to accept a trumpery personal advantage at the ex pence of public feeling. The Duke, we ,fear, is not so popular in this country as we could Wish him to be ; and we are sure that this matter, if persisted in, will not make him more so. If the Duke of Wellington despises Wilk: opinion ; if he thinks that his high military renown will carry him through the • remainder of his life without any subsequent aid, he is mistaken ; and he is only to look to the history of the Duke of Marlborough, the greatest of his predecessors, to convince him that the highest military reputa tion will not of itself secure a certain continuance of popular favour. But why is the Duke of Wel lington dragged into this affair at all ? To him the object can be nothing ; and - we strongly sus pect that the odium of this transaction is palmed upon his Grace only to sanction future acts of the same kind (some of which, perhaps, are al ready in progress), to- justify which the pre cedent in this case will be pleaded. We are sorry to have been forced into this line of argu ment, because personal grounds are not in any respect those on which we have adopted the sub ject. We have taken it up entirely upon . on-e general principle, which we have all along been contending for—viz. the importance to the inhabi tants of the metropolis of keeping undiminished the very few open spaces which are left for their health and recreation. If the salus populi he in any sense the duty of Government, it must be so in its literal one. And we are sure that the time will come, if it is not arrived already, when those whose duty it is to look to such matters will find, that,.by neglecting this essential consi deration, they will have compromised one of their most important duties; and then the revenue which is derived from driving the people to spend their leisure hours in the alehouse, will be but a poor recompense for the general vice and in subordination which will be the result of shutting them out from the health, the virtue, and right mindedness derived from out-door exercise and amusement. A. HINT TO BAKEP..—B . y . e rs, the informer, has lately visited and searched (under proper eutho• rity) the premises of several bakers &c. in Hamp shireli- and made discovery of a variety of illegal ingrOlients (plaster of Paris vid the like), which are to he produced on the hearing o f their cause before the Magistrates. There are now residing in the parish of Allem more, Hereford, a cottager, and his wife, whose united ages amount to 182 years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. AN IMPUDENT THIEF. MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday Thomas Howe, a Lieutenant in the Navy, on halt-pay, who resides at WestbrOoke-cottage, Hounslow, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having stolen three table spoons, a tea spoon, and a pint decanter, the property of the landlord of the Blue Anchor Ta vern, at St. Alary-at-Hill.—The waiter, in whose custody the property had been placed, and who was of course responsible for its safety, stated that the prisoner walked into the house with the air of a man of independence, and having looked over the bill of fare, ordered some fish, which he said should be fol lowed by some other dish. Having eaten of the fish, he called for pint of wine, and some lamb, and after he had made a hearty meal, he began to prepare to give himself another treat. He had taken care to order such dishes as were usually accom panied with several spoons, and he pocketed all that had been brought to his table, and was just waiting until dui waiter should turn aside to attend upon somebody else, to run out of the house with his booty. The waiter, however, who had for some reason or other suspected his customer, watched him at his meal, and saw .him • hide one spoon after another. The waiter then asked him to walk up stairs, and told him that he had the spoons about him, anti must deliver them up. The prisoner said, upon his honour he had nothing of the kind, that lie was a gentleman and could never think of such a thing, and that no man should search him but an officer. He was speedily accommodated with a person of this description. Buxton, the officer, who was in the neighbourhood, searched and found upon him the whole of the property that had been missed, and then conveyed him to the Compter, where he said his name was John Hooper. He had no more money than twopence in his pockets. There were, however, some papers found upon him, directed to Thomas Howe, Esq., Westbrook-cottage, Hounslow ; and the officer said he had ascertained that that was his name. The officer stated that the prisoner had made several at tempts to getaway in walking to the Compeer, and after he had heen locked up, employed himself in writing, but showed an anxiety to conceal what he had written. The officer, however, searched him a second time, and found upon him two papers, which proved that his ingenuity had been at work. The first was without a direction, but is belirved to have been intended for some profligate female with whom he was intimate. It was as follows : "111 y dearest Louisa will, I am sure, enter into my feelings when I relate the melancholy and cruel circumstance which has befallen me—namely, the imprisonment of my person at the Compter, in Giltspur-street, near Smithfield, where I am de tained upon a charge of felony--a very serious charge, I assure you, and which will be attended with very ruinous consequences, if I do not contrive some plan to effect my rescue, which I do not think I shall have much difficulty in procuring, if you will render me your kind and powerful assistance, which I shall undertake to advise with you when I have again the pleasure of seeing you. I have many plans in view, all of which I will ac quaint you with, when you will be able to adopt the one you suppose to be the best, or most likely to succeed. Something must be immediately done, or my fate will be hard indeed.— Nothing less than the gibbet will be my lot, which will indeed be disgraceful in the extreme." The second paper, which was intended to impose (but by what means it is not conjectured) upon the turnkey, ran thus:— " Mr. John Hooper having brought two gentlemen, Edward Gedge and James Murray, Esqrs., as bail for his appearance at the sessions next ensuing, I have thought proper to accept and receive the same. Consequently Mr. J. Hooper is hereby dis charged from my custody, and Ido hereby authorize the cone stable torestore to him the property which he took possession of when he took charge. " Given under my hand and seal of office at the Compter, this 12th day of October, 1825. " Governor." It will be seen from this paper that the prisoner was deter mined, if he could escape, to take away with him what he had stolen.—Buxton, the officer, stated that as be was conveying the prisoner to the Mansion-house, the latter endeavoured to escape up an alley, and on finding.it impossible to do so, said, " I see you're too sharp for me." The officer found several duplicates of spoons, &c., which he. doubted not the owners would apply for, upon the prisoner, who said nothing in answer to this statement, and was remanded for further examination. MYSTERIOUS ROBBER. Bow-STnEgT.—lnformation was yesterday lodged upon oath at this office, of the following extraordinary affkir. Mr. R. S., a commercial gentleman (we are requested not to give his name at length for the present) living in the vicinity of Cheap side, was traverling in Berkshire, and stopped on Saturday evening last at Hungerford, and took up his abobe pro tern. at an inn called the Swans. In the travellers' room he found, soles; a gentleman of very imposing exterior, having much the appearance of a military man, and with him; he got into con versation, and found him in manners and conversation a per fect gentleman, and altogether one of the most agreeable and entertaining companions lie had ever had the good fortune to meet with. He stated in the course of conversation that he had his horse there, and that being on a pleasurable tour, and liking the country thereabouts very much, he should stay for some days. They supped and spent the whole evening together, and retired to test at the same time, occupying adjoining bed rooms. The following morning they breakfasted, and after wards walked out together. They took the road towards Marl borough, and had gope some distance when they turned up a lane, into which they had not proceeded far when the stranger suddenly drew a pistol fiam his pocket, and presenting it at the head of Mr. S., said; " Deliver !" Astonishment rivctted Mr. S. to the spot for a moment, but recovering himself a little, he took to his heels, and ran off with all his speed, followed by the stranger; who still kept the pistol levelled at him, and re peated several times the word " Deliver." As Mr. S. was fast approaching some houses, he thought he no longer heard the footsteps of his pursuer, and, venturing to look round, he saw him making off in another direction.—When he returned to the inn, he sent people off in different directions in pur suit of the stranger, but they could not overtake him.— On Tuesday morning two commercial travellers arriving at the Swans at Hungerford, and hearing of what bad occur red, and a description of the man, said the same person dined, supped, and slept at the Bear inn at Wantage, on Sunday (the day the attack was made), and that they spent the evening with him at that house. He left %Vantage on Mon day, having before he went out: ordered dinner at the Bear; but he did not return, nor had he, settled for his previous day's entettainment. %Vantage is 15 miles from Hungerford, in a cross-country direction. When the stranger left `Vantage, he took the road to Newbury, but has not since been heard of.— Tin: following description of him may perhaps. be serviceable : —He is about six feet high. has a light complexion, and a " singularly remarkable ""(Mr. '(Mr. S.'s own wards) Roman nose, thin, large, and very acquiline. His features are sharp and manly, and he is about 35 years of age. He had on a blue surtout, trowsers, and Wellington boots, and a black stock, and wore a watch-chain suspended from his waistcoat pocket. He had altogether, Mr. S. says, the appearance, language, and mariner of a military man. He came to Hungerford on horse. back, and the horse (which is suspected. to be either sta"en or borrowed) remains as the Swans in that town. A sharp look. out will be kept for him in various quarters. UNFORTUNATE FORTUNErTEI4LER MARLBOROUGH-STREET. — Sarah Louis was brought up by Mr. Henry Prior, on it charge of being found concealed in his. cellar on Tuesday night.--11r. Prior, who occupies the principal part of the house, No. 63, Great George -street, had, about a fortnight ago, taken into his service a girl newly ar rived from the country, and entirely ignorant of town. With this"girl the prisoner, under the pretext of carrying about pm. cushions for sale, bad contrived to form an acquaintance. From selling pincushions she gradually began to intimate-her skill in the mysteries of fortune-telling, and to represent herself us a " cunning woman," who could lift up the veil from the ob scurest events of futurity: Our young maiden, over whose head some sixteen or seventeen summers may have shed their sunshine, yielding to the impulse of that sovereign attribute of the fair daughters of Eve, , 4 Which for an apple damned mankind," consented 'to introduce the wise woman into the kitchen. Ac cording to pre-agreement, she took with her-a, pack of " the devil's pictures," so bethumbed and blackered, that kings and queens and 'knaves, with all their et cetera of aces and deuces, had ceased to have anyvisible distinction. They had completed the charm, and the " coming events" of the young maid's life had been shadowed forth, not in "dim and distant perspective," not in obscure and symbolic intimations, but in the visible and tangible form of a - promised sweetheart ; .and the book of fate Was scarcely closed when the knocker announced " master's presence. Our enchantress instantly charmed herself into the cellar, whither, in consequence of some previous warning, she was pursued•by Mr. Prior. When called on for her defence, she hemm'd and ha'd, and wept, and entreated, and protested, but to no pu r p ose. I s h a ll conv i ct you, sa id Mr. Ron, the , •sittingMag is t rate, of going about as a rogue and vagabond, pretending and prof ess i ng to pract i se t h e ar t a nd m y stery o f tellingfortunes. She was accordingly committed to the House of Correction, to be kept to hard labour for 2 months. An exellent method of seasoning deal and planks of fir, not generally known, k to put them 4 or sdays into salt water,frequently turning them,. this by drying them afterwards in the air or sun, will render thew much harder, and prevent them shrinking.
