THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXik (lat/ i ron the Morning Papers, Oct. TT, 189.5. [THE TIMES.] We received last night the Paris Papers of Monday. The letters from Madrid contain rumours statements, and discussions, respecting' the prospects of Spain, the intentions of Ferdi nand, the alleged negotiations with the new Re- ! publics•of America. On this last topic, it is said that Mexico has proposed to pay, as the price! of its independence, half the debt of Spain, and ! to admit Spanish vessels into its ports at half the rate of duty imposed on those of other nations. This, however, is merely stated as a rumour.-- t is added, that the propositions of Colombia were entirely neglected, because that Republic • axed upon no specific indemnity for its recog nition. The fact, no doubt, is, that Mexico and Colombia proffered precisely the same sum —that is, not a farthing; and that the whole of these reports are as little to be relied upon as the oath or the promises of Ferdinand. NVe some time ago alluded to the temper lately evinced by the Catholic Clergy in the kingdom of the Ne therlands, and the uneasy position in which their bigotted obstinacy had placed the Government in „•Telation to the Church. We mentioned that the Archbishop Mechlin,_heading the other prelates, had opposed the establishment of the new college of Louvain, and had protested against the aboli tion of the provincial establishments whose place it was intended to supply. In the Papers before us we have the copy of a letter addressed to the Archbishop by the Court of the Vatican, in which the Holy Father praises the Belgic Clergy for ':their courageous protests, commands them to be passive if the Government proceeds to the execs. tion of its views, and mentions that he himself , lard addressed his Majesty of the Nether lands to the same elfect.- It would seem very evident, from the sagacious under. standing - and cautious disposition of the King, that his Government has trenched on no religious principle, and attempted no innovation on the established relations between the State and the Church. He knows the turbulent bigotry which defeated the ill-concerted plans of the Emperor Joseph, and he is aware that a sufficient portion of the old leaven still remains in Belgium to fer ment into religious disturbances. In whatever he has done, therefore,- he must calculate on the general approbation of his people, though he may be opposed by some of the tramontane Bishops. [THE PUBLIC LIZDGEIt.I It is easy to foresee that the Spanish Govern ment would soon shift its ground on the dispute with its ei-divan! Colonies. This anticipation has received the most ample confirmation in late ac counts from the Spanish capital ; and a question, which embraced political principles and interests of the highest order, Is now reduced to one of simple pecuniary compensation. It is confidently stated, that Ferdinand has wholly abandoned the principle—that, under no circumstances, should e legitimate Sovereign treat upon equal terms with revolted subjects. This concession is as cribed to the persevering exertions of the French Government, who, seeing in this dispute the germs of future war, were most anxious, it is said, to bring it to a close. It is even strongly suspect ed, that one of the chief motives of that Govern. meat in forming the treaty with Hayti, was to set au example to the Spanish Monarch. If there be any truth in thia supposition, it must be ad mitted, however, that they did not neglect their own interests, whilst they were consulting those of their Ally ; and upon this very rock, if we are not mistaken, will their hopes split of effecting an amicable arrangement between Spain and her former Colonies. They set too high a price upon their acknowledgment of llaytian independence; and as they have succeeded, the King of Spain will, doubtless, try to obtain terms equally exor bitant. But the Governments of the New Con tinental States will not be found so accommodat ing in pecuniary matters as the President of Hayti has shown himself ; and therefore time French Ministry must blame themselves if their plan should fail. A moderate pecuniary compensation it would he perhaps wise on the part of the late Colonies to offer, particularly as their motives would be liable to no base suspicion ; but should Spain insist upon more, negociations would only teud to disappointment, and instead of consoli dating peace, detract from its security. [BRITISH PRESS.] The French Journalists pretend to be very well informed as to what is passing in the Cabi aetof Madrid. They alt agree that negotiations are on foot respecting the new American States, but they differ widely with regard to the condi tions required by Spain. It is said that the Mexican Government has offered to give as much as twelve millions sterling for the recognition of its independence, besides which, it has proposed to burden itself with half the debt of the mother country, and to admit Spanish vessels and mer chandise, on payment of duties of one-half the amount charged upon those of other nations.— We do not believe one word of this state went. By an article in the Treaties of Alliance between the new Republics, it is expressly sti pulated that they shall not pay one dollar to Spain for the recognition of their independence, or by way of indemnity, or in any shape what-ver. Their Position is essentially different from that of the revolted negroes of Hayti, and they will not uselessly sully their honour, and impoverish their treasuries, in order to administer relief to the oppressor who can no longer do them harm. The sews from Greece in the Paris Papers of Monday is confused. As far as it appears worthy of credit, it agrees with the information we published two days ago. A part of the new Egyptian expedition, it is elated, has sailed from Alexandria. We trust the Greeks may meet with it at sea. The insurrection in Candia has become general.— S.kould the Hydriots arrive in time to de cide the contnt, the independence of t'his large and important island will be este- Wished. In that case Greece has nothing to dread from Egypt or elsewhere. The Austrians continue to complain bitterly of the " piracies"' of the Greek cruisers. After reading the inter cepted correspondence between the Turkish Commanders and the Austrian Consul at Zante, nobody can doubt the hollowness of the neu trality professed by the latter power. We might safely undertake to affirm, that almost every ves sel sailing under the Austrian flag in the Levant is, in fact, engaged in the service of the Maho metans. Yet, because they are, therefore, treated as belligerents, they cry out against the punish ment justly inflicted upon thetn. We are informed that the official details of the military operations in the Burmese territory, which ended in the capture of Donabew, have been received by 'Government. We exclusively communicated the substance of this intelligence some time ago to our readers. We understand that Gen. Cotton's division was that which suf fered the greatest loss. Sir Archibald Campbell states, in his dispatch, as we have already said, that he has reason to believe that Bundoolah was killed in the attack. The whole number of in dividuals belonging to the British army, killed, wounded, and missing, amounts only to 129, in cluding officers.—(iNdo [MORNING CHRONICLE.] A Morning Paper, whose defence of the Chan cellor we noticed on Tuesday, approves of his Lordship's practice of taking home papers on the ground that " it is necessary that a Judge who wishes not to leaow which side of a cause is most dexterously pleaded, but which side is the right one, must, if it be (as all Chancery cases are) grounded on written documents, examine those documents personally." This will appear reason able enough to persons unacquainted with the very exceptionable nature of a great part of the evidence on which Courts of Equity proceed.— The truth is, that affidavits (for example) in Chancery are partial statements, on which little or no reliance can be placed, and from which no impression should be received until the opposite party has had the opportunity of rebutting them. It is notorious that affidavits in Chancery com monly contain not what truth requires, but what the deponent's case requires. Bushels of these documents, however, meet the Chancellor's eye, in his private room, where there is no advo cate or party to detect and expose the partiality of their representatioas, and the impressions thus conveyed often warp or perplex his Lordship's otherwise clear view of the me.its of a case. From long familiarity with Equity practice, moreover, the Chancellor seems to have lost all idea of the real purpose of an affidavit. He is often heard to observe on the Bench, 64 I wish I could see an affidavit to such and such an effect," the party, in nine cases out of ten, in stantly gratifies this desire, he goes out of Court, and forthwith makes an affidavit to the very let ter of his Lordship's wish. Nor must people be surprised at this complaisance, for after a man has got into the way of swearing to depositions in Chancery (or we may say elsewhere), it is sur prising how accommodating to his interest his con. science becomes. if Chancery evidence were what it ought to be, which is what it is not, we should not object as strongly as we do to Lord Eldon's inattention to a cause in Court, and to his promised study of it at some indefinite future periud in his private apartments ; but while the evidence continues so rotten, as much of it now is, it is absolutely necessary that the Judge should listen to the objections that can be urged against it. We agree most entirely with our contem porary, that a Judge should not take his view of I a cause from the statements of Counsel, still less should he take it from notoriously unfaithful and unanewered depositions. Au advocate's repre sentation of his ow❑ case is entitled to small credit, but he has the power of discovering much of the falsehood of his opponent's case ; and, by inattention to the business in Court, the Chan cellor loses the opportunity of getting at the portion of truth which is to be obtained by these means. It would be a reform to get stricter evi dence, but while we have bad evidence, it is well to subject it to all the scrutiny possible ; the Chancellor's private chamber allows of none.— We have not, at this moment, leisure to enter into the general question of the Chancellor's administration of his office. Our contemporary triumphantly refers us to an article in the Quar lerly Revicre for his Lordship's complete excul pation ; nay more, for the proof of his excelling, in dispatch, all other Chancellors that ever have been. We, however, long ago exposed the mis statements of this article, which is a miserably flimsy production, destitute even of plausibility, false in its facts, and consistently unsound in its arguments, if arguments they can be called. With. out a compliment, our contemporary is, beyond all comparison, a more dexterous champion of Lord Eldon than 'the scribe its The Quarterly.— The resolution not to be bullied out of the Lord Chancellor, with which our brother journalist concludes, can scarcely be read without a smile. 46 We have," says he, " weathered the storm in worse times, and are not now to be bullied out of our great men by the impotent railings of a disappointed party." Let not our contempo rary deceive himself, or attempt to deceive others; this is no party question, almost the whole coun try is of one accord on it. T he Chancellor's few friends and immediate retainers are not blind to this fact ; they see and confess the spread of what they term dissatisfaction. The Chancellor is looked upon as the main prop of an intolerable nuisance, and as the obstacle to every species of improvement. [MORNING POST.] The proceedings of the Court Martial held on Captain Hoppner, for the loss of the Fury, of which we gave an account in yesterday's Paper, will be perused with considerable interest. It must be adt'nitted that the statements made by this Officer, corroborated by the authority of Captain Parry, and the experience of four unsuc. cessful voyages, create some doubt whether it is advisable to prosecute the dl,covery by sea. The probability of success becomes weakened by re- peated disappointment, and where the united ta lents of Captains Parry, Lyon, an d Iroppner here failed, it becomes a duty to use extreme caution in future proceedings. We do not mean to re commend a❑ abandonment of the enterprize, be cause the concurrent opinions of all competent judges are in favour of its practicability. But we conceive it desirable, from prudential motives, to await further intelligence from Captain Franklin and his party before engaging in a fur ther attempt. The last accounts left them al ready 700 miles in advance of Lake Winnipeg, in high health and spirits, and with abundant means to continue a journey, which will certainly furnish much valuable information. The land traveller, aided by his canoes and sledges, has, perhaps, a better chance than the navigator of accomplishing the discovery. The progress of the latter is liable to be arrested by, accidents which no sagacity can anticipate, whilst the de scription of perils he has to contend with admit of little time for council or deliberation. We hope that our view of this subject will not be thought undeserving of consideration, and we confidently venture to predict that the question will ultimately be determined by a series of over land expeditions. NEW TIMES.] In another column will be found further parti culars of the lamented loss of the Comet. We cannot but feel satisfied that we did not give pub. licity to the names of Lord Macdonald, Mr. Downie of Appin, and Mrs. Grant of Laggan, as being among the sufferers. We had received in telligence to that effect on Monday, and alluded to it in our leading article of Tuesday, but with out particularizing the individuals, so as to occa sion to their friends an alarm which the event has proved to be unfounded. A Glasgow Paper dis tinctly asserts, that neither of these three respected individuals was on board the Comet at the time of the accident. Mr. Glover, the ce lebrated landscape painter, had a providen tial escape; he owes his safety to his love of his art. He landed at Rothsay, as we under stand, to take a sketch of the scenery of that place ; and the two Messrs. Martineau went ashore merely for the pleasure of accompanying the distinguished artist. A great outcry is raised against the Captain of the Ayr, who undoubtedly might have saved their lives ; but allowance must be made for the fright and terror of such a mo ment. We speak feelingly on this subject, hav ing ourselves been in a situation nearly similar. Where dangers come on gradually, or have been foreseen, and calculated upon, they may be met with calmness, however terrific ; but we have seen brave British sailors deprived of all self contronl by the sudden approach of destruction— and men who had borne their full share in the battle •f the Nile rushed to the end of the bow sprit to leap aboard a ship which was running down their own vessel. At such a moment they thought neither of duty nor of humanity— self-preservation, the first law of nature, occupied them wholly, and yet these very men were as brave and kind-hearted as any sailors that ever ploughed the ocean. What we say is not meant to excuse the gross neglect of which both the commanders were guilty, and which can hardly be too severely censured ; against a repetition of this offence, let the strongest precaution be taken, but let us make every allowance for those weak nesses which are the common lot of humanity.— Presence of mind is au invaluable quality ; but the braveit man alive cannot be sure of command ing it in a moment of sudden and terrific peril. LMORNING HERALD.] It is fortunate for the owners of steam vessels, that the frightful accident which has befallen one of them (the Comet), off the port of Greenock, did not occur at the commencement, or during the height of the season, as it would doubtless have deterred many hundreds of people from availing themselves of this admirable invention. Not that we can see that this fatal event fur uishes any argument against their use ; but will, we trust, lead to that degree of caution, an at tention to which upon this occasion, would, in all probability, have averted this awful calamity. Vessels have been run down by each other at sea, and in rivers, long before the application of steam to navigation was thought of ; and so far from adding to the perils of the ocean, there can be no doubt but that with due care and manage ment, the certainty and rapidity obtained by the power of steam must tend not only to diminish danger, but with it those numerous iucouve niences and horrors which are attendant upon sea voyages even to persons most accus tomed to them. Among the cautions re quisite, none seems more obvious than that every vessel (whether a steamer or not) should show abundant light, both fore and aft, after night-fall ; and that they should slacken their pace on entering and leaving harbour, and to a certain distance both before and after so do ing ; and also that similar precautions should be used in their passage upon rivers. This obviously leads us to notice the inconvenience and danger which has long existed from their rapid passage through that part of the Thames above Black wall. It is high time that this evil were put an end to. It is one which if it cannot be cured ought not to be endured. And in fine, it never will be remedied effectually till these kind of vessels are absolutely prohibited from corn ing higher up the stream than Greenwich or' , Blackwell. We are well aware how much such a restriction would take off from the convenience as well as from the profit to the owners ; but no one who has ever witnessed their passage through the Pool could for a moment hesitate in declaring that it oug ht no t to continue as new conducted. The present practice of disembarking too is ex tremely dangerous and inconvenient, from the crowd of boats which ply round every steam ves sel on her arrival in the River. We do not see why vessels drawing so little water as most of these do might not be generally brought near enough to the shore to discharge their passengers without boats, or if this cannot be done, why they might not be admitted into docks for the purpose. Why do not the Lord Mayor and Aldermen form som e regulations on this head 2 or does their guardianship of the river only extend to swan hopping, and to punishing log the white-bait, which they themselves after wards Nast upon ? fishermen for catch- STATE OF GREECE. .....0.0.-- The Friend of the Law contains the following parallel of the situatio❑ of the Pelopounesus in 1822 and 1825 : " In 1822, in the month of June, there were 30,000 Turks in the Peloponnesus ; 2,000 Greeks stopped their passage at the post of the Wind mills at Napoli di Romania. The Turks were masters of the citadels of Corinth, Patras, Modon, Coron, and Napoli di Romania. The Greeks only possessed Navarino and Malvoisie. In September the 30,000 Turks were annihilated, and two months afterwards Napoli and Corinth were in the power of the Greeks. " In 1825, in the month of June, the Greeks possessed Corinth, Napoli, and Malvoisie, so that they have a fort more than in 1822. There are at present about 10,000 Turks in the Morea ; so that the Greeks have 20,000 enemies less to fight. Cannot they do in July, 1825, what they did in July, 1822 ? _ _ _ " Are not the Greeks of 1825 the Greeks of 1821? Greeks ! the eyes of Europe are upon you, and this campaign ought to decide your fate. In July, 1892, 30,000 Turks were checked at the Windmills by 2,000 Greeks ; and in June, 1325, more than 6,000 disciplined Arab troops were routed at the met Mills by a handful of brave warriors." AUSTRIAN NEUTRALITY. MISSOLONGHI, SEPT. 4.—The Greek Journals contain the following intercepted letters, which will give some idea of the neutrality of the Aug. trial) agents:— " To my dear Friend K.

GENERAL LAFAY ET TE. (From the Quotidienne.) Much has been said of the triu►nphs and honours voted to General Lafayette for his exploits in the war of the United States. The following is a letter from an old soldier of the French army in America, which appears to us deserving of the attention of our readers : PARIS, OCT. 22. Alessieurs—l have read with great interest the description in the newspapers of the entertain ments which have been given both in America and France to General Lafayette. In the congratu latory address made to him by the President of the United States, and the replies which he made to the same, I expected to find some recollec tions of his companions in arms ; but my ex pectation has been greatly disappointed. And yet our General did not fight alone for the in dependence of the Americans. In the ce lebrated field of Brandywine, where he was slightly wounded, I had the honour of hav ing one of my legs carried away by a cannon ball, and my face furrowed by two sabre wounds. When they bestowed on my General a demesne as extensive as a whole province, they might have made me happy with a farm in its neighbourhood, and I could safely say, " I had not stolen it." But It is well known a French soldier is not very interested. I regret not the recompence. It ap pears to me, however, that my conduct, and that of my comrades, deserved a little honourable men tion. M. Lafayette has frequently spoken of the " rights of men," which, no doubt, have his best wishes; but might he not sometimes say a few words in favour of France, whose fleets were equipped for the cause of the United States—of Louis XVI., who sent him to America ; and of the soldiers who accompanied him there ? This affected silence is unworthy of " A friend of the people." (Signed) BE 11----• (An old grenadier of the French Army, who was in the American war.) BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.-Testerdny infor mation was received at Hatton-garden Police-offiee, of a burglary and robbery being committed on the previous night at the pre. mises of Mr. Pick, tobacconist, No. 33, St. John -street, Clerk enwell. The thieves effected an entrance beneath the shop win dow, by removing the grating, which was fastened by a cross bolt locked, which they picked, and descending into the cellar, they got from thence by means of a t ra p-d oor u p t o the kitchen at the area. The family slept in the upper appartments. They encountered no obstruction in their plunder, having previously picked the locks of every doo r th a t cou ld poss ibl y i n t erce pt their flight in case of . pursuit ; they then p ac k e d u p e very moveable art i c l e , consisting of plate, wearing apparel, house linen, a quan tity of tobacco,&c. to the value ofupwards of one hundred pounds, with which they got clear off. A reward is offered for the ap prehension of the parties concerned, and the recovery of the property, but no trace has as yet been obtained of either.
