`l'll 1, LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY .fixtructsfrons the Morning Pupers,Jan. 26, 1825 [Bunn! Paassa All our private letters from Paris represent the French Government as chiefly occupied with he policy adopted by the British Cabinet to wards the Ind e p e ndent Sovereignties of South America. France is no doubt jealous, not only of the wealth we may derive from their commerce, but the influence we may have in their councils. The liberal party in that kingdom take a dif ferent view of it ; they look to it as to a great point gained in favour of national independence, and as contributing greatly to quicken and in vigorate that enthusiasm which is leading the oppressed of every State to work out for them selves that liberty which is consistent with public order, aud which has its basis in jut and equal laws. We consider it, moreover, as not unlikely but that this prompt and de cisive recognition of the independence of the South American Colonies, on the part of our Cabinet, may have defeated certain views on die part of France, which she never publicly avowed, but which she is chagrined to see, by this measure, so effectively frustrated. She had an eye, we suspect, to these rich possessions, as furnishing the indemnity to be called for in her future set. Clement with Ferdinand as to the expenditure of men aud money by which his Catholic Majesty's throne has, in all the fulness of its despotism, been preserved to him. The armies of France were not sent to co-operate with the Royalists of Spain in reviving the Inquisition, and conso lidating the system of terror, without an expec tation of reimbursement from those mines of wealth upon which the mother country would no doubt have been readily induced to grant a claim of compensation. In the event of any failure of such an amicable arrangement, France would have known where, and how, to direct her efforts, for the attainment of her purposes, and the giving effect to her just. claims ; but " Othello's occupation's gone," and the prospect of indemnity from that quarter is at an end. England, from her great extent of commerce and command of capital, must share more largely than any other nation in the pro sperity of the emancipated colonies. Their de mand for European articles will stimulate th• in dustry of every country in Europe ; but Great Britain alone is in a condition to reap the full benefit of this lucrative commerce. France is well aware of this, and it is a state of things - which she by no means looks upon with com placency ; but her Cabinet will take no step v. ithout first sounding the views of Russia. How ever well inclined she may be to hostile interfer ence from motives of policy, she will be restrained by motives of prudence, from manifesting this dis position, except in conjunction with, and under the auspices of, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. It remains to be seen with what temper the Em peror Alexander will witness the astounding spectacle of eight or ten new-born nations begin ning their career of prosperity by proclaiming their independence, and Great Britain, in defiance of all that is sacred in legitimacy," assisting guilt to fill its measure!" Ilis Imperial Majesty will no doubt consider this as a deplorable issue, and it is likely that nothing but the impossibility of opposing any effectual resistance to the course taken by Mr. Canning, has prevented our know ing very distinctly his opinion upon it. But no , resistance, even from the Triple Alliance, can be of any avail. The Spanish Colonies owe their, freedom to the growth of knowledge, and to the influence of those causes which are gradually elevating and improving the great Commonwealth of Europe. The truth is, an alteration is going on in the whole frame of political sociiity, to which these Continental Sovereigns must yield ; it is in the order of Providence—and against that will it is vain to contend. [TILE TIMES.] It is with great pain that we hear a rumour that the army is to be increased by a new levy of ten thousand men. It was only last week that we learned that the whole of the American army did not amount to two-thirds of this number.— Half of the proposed levy is, it is said, to be sent to Ireland, and the other half to the East Indies. The latter portion to be paid by the East India Company. We have never yet seen it recorded among the blessings or advantages of a prolonged peace, that the number of soldiers, the instruments of war, were to be increased. It would also make a sensible difference to the nation, if the new le vies were to be transferred to its manufactures or commerce. There the men would sup port themselves, and add to the public stock. As soldiers, their employment is unpro f table to the State ; they create nothing, and they are maintained by others. It is very hard upon us that we may not derive the same advan tages from peace as other States secured from hostile invasion. If we speak, also, of the bra very of the army, and the gratitude due to it, those terms cannot apply to the new conscripts. Let us praise the old army, and he grateful for its services : but let us not needlessly create fresh claimants upon our gratitude, which is so very costly, a sentiment. There is no question but that the present military establishment is more than sufficient for all .the exigencies of the State; aml so Ministers would find, if an independent Parliament were to refuse any addition. In the case of " Duncan v. Trend,"ol rule is granted to spew cause why the verdict for the defendant should not be set aside, and a new trial had. It is cunning enough to insinuate that the legality of police reporting is not concerned in this cause. This IS the very cause upon which its legality has been decided affirmatively by a Special Jury ; for, though no special plea.was put in to that effect by the defendant, it is noto rious that the Jury found for him, on account of the supposed libel beinga police repOrt,there being no evidence.to slew that it was an unfaithful report. After what was said, however ' by the Lord Chief Justice y ester d ay, the plaintiff may probably think it advisable not to proceed to the new trial. His Lordship stated, that he thought that " the " plaintiff would obtain a verdict, but he expect "ed it would be for very small damages." His Lordship also said that there must be a rule to show cause, " unless the case could be settled iu " some other way."—(/bid.) [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] , We feel ourselves called upon to notice a rumour that has been current for some days ; and to this call we yield with the greater reluctance, because it is not in our power to repel it by an unqualified contradiction. It has already depressed our funds ; and, what is far worse, its confirmation would set aside a principle, which of late has been acted upon by Ministers with such signal 1 benefit to the cou n t r y—we mean that of economy and retrenchment in the public expenditure ; besides marking a rash departure from what has been always considered our best de fence in war as an insular nation. It is confidently stated, that our standing army is to receive an immediate augmentation of ten thousand men ; but to reconcile this intelli gence with the unruffled state of our foreign rela tions, would, we imagine, puzzle much more acute heads than our own. It is certainly in consistent with the pointed assurances, recently given by two leading members of the Cabinet, that there existed every prospect of the country not only remaining for the present at peace, but of her long enjoying its blessings. These assur ances have been received without any reserve, in consequence of the high character of the States men who uttered them ; and, to have any value, it is clear, they must have rested on unequivocal proofs of the friendly disposition of foreign States towards this country. But, if we have misunderstood their meaning, and ascribed to the friendship and moderation of our neighbours what could only be due to our own commanding position, still we should doubt whether the reported arrangement would be the best to secure the fulfilment of the prediction. By an augmentation of our naval force, it strikes us, thut we could much more effectually keep foreign States in awe ; whilst the measure would be more agreeable to public feeling, and more consonant with our insular situation and mari time pursuits. Not to speak of the salutary jealousy, which, as a free people, we ought to entertain of a large standing army, a force of this description would not enable the country to maintain her present ascendancy ; as it was chiefly by means of her naval power that she first secured, and still retains, it. But, if our standing army is to be further augment ed, it can only be done by either subtracting from the efficient strength of our navy, or by in creasing the burdens of the nation, either of which would be a departure from sound and tried prin ciples. If there be nothing, however, to fear from the jealousy of Foreign Powers, what species of defence can there be set up in favour of the reported arrangement ? The Public confidently look forwards to a reduc ticn, and not an increase, -of Taxes ; in which expectation, they are not actuated by an 46 ig norant impatience of taxation," but are guid ed by the soundest views of political economy. They can adduce practical proofs in confirmation of this opinion, as the prosperity of the country, reconstructed as it is upon the bases of economy and retrenchment, triumphantly attests. To de part, except upon the plea of commanding ne cessity, from a principle that has been productive of so much public benefit, would be an error (not to use a harsher term) of so grave a nature, as not to admit of any excuse nor even palliation. We should soon see the sources from which our trade, commerce, and manufactures are now ea abun- dandy fed, soon straitened of their nutritive powers ; and our security and consideration, as a nation, in behal f of which the reported arrangement has been suggested, would keep pace with the former in their decline. If Ministers therefore feel anxious to complete the good work they have so auspiciously begun,of increasing the productive powers and industrious habits of the country, and securing, at the same time, the continuance of an honourable peace, they must persevere in the ' system of wise reduction, with which they set out, and which has procured for them that high popu larity they now enjoy. It is by continuing to husband the national resources, and not by in creasing the amount and expence of our military establishment, that they can hope to arrive at the consummation of their patriotic labours. It has been stated, however, that it is not the lowering aspect of our foreign relations, that has suggested the reported augmentation, but the exigencies of the Burmese war, and the distracted situation of Ireland. These pretexts would be far less justifiable ; for it is notorious that, with a numerical force not superior to that now in India, the Marquis of Hastings con ducted to a successful issue, a contest fully as difficult as the present ; and that Lord Welles ley triumphed over a much more formidable ad versary than the Burmese nation. As it is not and combine ornament with utility ; but, for God's sake, let us hear of no further augmenta tion of our standing army; for a large force of this description has beau always the bane of public liberty, and the ruin of the happiness, morals, and true greatness of every country where it obtained a permanent footing. [monNzxo cnuoxlcLE.] The rumours which were current on Monday afternoon and yesterday morning,of an important increase of the army, have contributed to make the English Funds heavy ; the real extent of the increase will, it is understood, be only ten thousand men, half of whore are to be sent to Ireland, and half to India—the latter to be paid for by the East India Company. The dullness of Consols seems to be more caused by the nu merous schemes for the investment of money than by any thing political ; and considering the amount of the sums already paid upon these schemes, it is surprising that Consols have not been more depreciated. The present price for the Account is 94 (buyers), but they were done on Monday afternoon, towards the close of the market at 93i 94.—1 n the Foreign Market, the principal business doing has been in Mr. Itoths child's Brazil Loan, which came out at 5 prem., and is now at 3.—The conditions of the Loan are as follow : Ist instalment of 10 per cent. on the 27th instant. 2d - 5 - - Ist March 3d - 10 . - 15th April 4th - 5 - - 16th May sth - 6 - - 15th June 6th - 10 - .

Another Brazil Mining Company has also been formed.—The Rail-road Shares are not so dull as they were, and attentiou seems to be more directed to them. It has beets erro neous stated that the Manchester and Liverpool Rail-road Bill is the only oue which will be brought before the Parliament this Session. The notice of the Birmingham and Liverpool Rail way has, we understand, appeared in the Gazette iu proper time, as also one or two others. [NEW TIMES.) The concluding passage of Wilkes's View of the Stage is so appropriate to the conduct of Mr. Ellistoii in bringing forward Mr. Kean at the pre sent moment, that we cannot but quote it :H " The Manager," says Wilkes, " considered i.e his proper light, is the trustee or conductor of the most rational amusements of the public. If all who are fond of the Drama, and who are de sirous of seeing order and decency preserved iu it, will protect hitn in his station, and concur with him in promoting such entertainments as are worthy of it ; then may we expect to see the Stage a real School of Virtue, extending its instruction and usefulness every where. The reformation will become general : virtue and good sense will become fashionable ; and if the Player exemplifies the scene in his mot-al conduct, he will he always esteemed as an honourable Land useful member of society."—Are the Ma mager and Player here described prototypes rmr contrasts to Mr. Elliston and Mr. Kean ? Was -Drury-lane Theatre on Monday night a " School •of Virtue ;" or of what else was it a school ?-- These questions are not in their nature indif ferent to a British Public, No one will dare to say they are. Let us then look a little closely at the proceedings of that evening. Then, for the first time, an organised baud of meu went to the Theatre (most of them perhaps ad. witted gratuitously for the purpose) to applaud Vice, as Vice—they went distinctly as support ers of Public Inunorality in opposition to Vir tue, to Decency, to Decorum. These shameless men were aided and assisted in insulting public , morals by common Prostitutes, who joined in Bravo, Kean ! in Tarn out the Suppressors of Dice ! and in sneers and sarcasms at the treache rous injury inflicted by Kean on his friend.— So that the question really assumes a far more important character than we had at first antici- , pated. We thought a cotemporary went a great way when he asserted that the Public had no right to inquire into an Actor's moral conduct, but here the conduct is inquired into—it is found to be stained with enormous vices, and for those very vices it is loaded with applause. Again we say, this is not a matter indifferent to the l'ublic.—Our Ancestors experienced the effect of a vicious stage in the reign of Charles ll. Speaking of this era, Wilkes observes, that " Vice is of a contagious nature; the People in this reign caught it from the Court, and the dis order became general; while Virtue and Good sense fled from the blasted air. Nothing now could be too loose or two low for the Court, and the London Cuckolds, the most rank Play that ever succeeded, was then in the highest favour." But whether a dissoluteness of morals arise from the Cburt or the People, whether it be fostered by the Plays which are exhibited, or by the noto rious profligacy of the Actors, is comparatively of little moment. Public morals must be upheld ; and Managers, or Players, or their Associates or Upholders, must alike be taught, that insults on public decency will be met and trampled under foot by public indignation. the inadequacy of the force, but the inca pacity with which it is wielded, that has given to this war a character so diffaxent from every other, we would recommend that instead of seudiHg a large reinforcement in men, a .more able Governor General than the present should be immediately appointed. As to the troubled state of Ireland, it ofi'ers worse argument than the former ; for it is the , military system of Government that has caused all-the distractions of that country; and, if its coercive powers bestimulated by additional means, the causes of irritation will increase in proportion. We have a safe and economical remedy also for [MORNING HERALD.] this evil, which would render the proposed rein. We remember the time when the interests of forcemeat not only unnecessary, but would enable Drury-Lane Theatre were a good deal affected Ministers, if they thought an augmentation of by political prejudices. W e a ll u d e to t h e per i o d our forces in India r equ i s it e, to d raft w i t h per- w h en Mr. Sheridan's politics were obnoxious to lea safety front the army now in Ireland, the the Court—the employment of some writers of necessary number of men. Let conciliation be unpopular principles—and the marked preference substituted for coercion, and the laws be equally shown by their late Majesties to the rival and rigidly administered, and Ireland will not establishment. If we mistake not, the conduct want a single soldier for the protection - of her in. of the present Management, in forcing Mr. Kean ternal tranquillity. We have not the least objec- upon the town so immediately on the heel of the tion to employ the public money in building a new recent trial, is calculated to be of no permanent and splendid palace, in constructing a magnificent benefit to the establishment, and we, trust there quay on the Tharn e s, or i n any other sc h eme t h at f ore, w ill not b e persisted in. Wolves, bears, would give addition a l em pl oyment to t h e peo pl e , an d ot h er f e r oc i ous an i mals, may fill the arena fort 'a night or two; but it is a different kind of au dience which must fill the treasury, and give a tone and character to the Theatre, which, if it once becomes unfashionable, is lost. The ex periment has been tried ; and we should think a sufficient test has been obtained of the real feel ing of the public upon the occasion; for, lode pendenly of the hired bravos, who seem to have been well and carefullydistributed about the house, added to the few loose and dissolute people who patronize every thing that is bad, there appeared to be but one feeling in the audience upon this occasion. We think, too, the apparent attempt to overawe the free opinion of the audience, by the introduction of au additional police into the house, is not at all calculated to raise the Ma nagement of this Theatre hi public estimation, who, if they foresaw the probability of a riot, should have withdrawn the cause of it, and not have endangered the public peace, or the personal safety of the audience, by persisting in a measure which they must have seen was so opposed to a general opinion and feeling. We wish the Bow-street Magistrates had adhered to their first determination of refusing to send their offi cers into the house till called for by actual occasion. We have no doubt but that they at last yielded to do otherwise from a very laud able, but we think mistaken, feeling. We do not wish to see these kind of Gallicisms in troduced into our Theatres. In Paris the gens d'artnes settle these matters in a very summary way ; but an English Theatre is a type of English liberty. It is there that public principles are prac tised as well as learnt ; and we trust that the period will never come when the expression of applause or disapprobation, however audibly conveyed, will be subject to the controul of a constable. The present is a struggle between vice and virtue—between indecency and right feeling; and we are convinced that those who think and feel rightly upon the occasion will not tarnish the good cause they have in hand by any intemperance or violence. [MORNING PosT.] We took an early opportunity, after the pro mulgation of Mr. O'Connell's late confession of politics for himself and the " Association," to say we should believe all the professions then launched and lauded when they were verified by future experience. The past indeed had in spired us with much doubt as to the practical sincerity of the speaker and his auditory, and we therefore determined not to decide till we saw whether Prince Hohenlohe had really performed a miracle on them or not— for nothing less than supernatural agency could, in so short a space, have effected so wonderful a cure upon the Irish Papists. We fear, however, that " his Serene and Very Reverend Highness" has either not been at work, or has miserably failed in his operations. Mr. Brie, who was Coun sel for the prosecutors at Killeshandra, had sense and honesty enough, in reporting his conduct to the Aisociation, to state in fair terms the exem plary impartiality of the Jury and the Magistrates at the Cavan Sessions, and by doing so, to bear very innocent testimony to the upright character of the Orangemen in the administration of jus tice even to their enemies. Such an admission was by no means palatable to the august Body he addressed, and its reception, as well as the Learned Gentleman's own, was in consequence extremely scurvy. A Mr. O'Reilly seemed to be peculiarly sore on the occasion, and declared (what was certainly true) 44 that it was a new feature in the politics of the country, when a Cavan Jury and Cavan Magistrates were lauded by the Catholics ;" meaning by the latter, Mr. Brie. Mr. O'Reilly then went into a woeful history of former Orange cruelties and Papist] suffering, and concluded by several wise, charitable, and conciliatory doubts about what had just been narrated to the Meeting. That the feelings of the Association were with Mr. O'Reilly in all he asserted and prophesied, he must be a zany indeed who could disbelieve.— Mr. O'Connell's subsequent speech, however, puts the matter beyond all cavil ; for in affecting to support the Report which had been made of the proceedings at Cavan, he flavoured the dose by instituting an absurd comparison between the moderation of the Catholics and the violence of the Orangemen, or rather of all Protestants of all periods and nations. Alluding to the late trial, he exulted that the Catholics did not " triumph over the Protestants who had fallen before them." Again, " They (the Papists) asked forgiveness for their fallen enemy ;" next, no doubt, to conciliate the Orangemen, and exhibit a spirit of good will to wards the Jurors and Magistrates of Cavan, he inveighed against the 44 base Corporation of Dublin ;" and, after this, had the face to ex claim, that " if peace were not the result of all that had occurred (of course including the mild and meek address he was deliver ing) let the disgrace rest on the Orangemen of Cavan !" These are delightful illustrations of the sincerity of Mr. O'Connell's recent pro fessions and of the peaceful disposition of the Association. To think of conciliation with such men is farcical. But what can be expected where Orangemen are concerned, when this same Mr. O'Connell, at a charity dinner last week, pub licly refused, as Chairman, to propose the l\lar,. quis of Wellesley's health, as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and was, notwithstanding, retained by the Catholic Company present as President for the rest of the evening ! Yes, such is the treat ment which the Papists give the ablest, the oldest, and most zealous advocates of " Ernanci-- pation!" Yes, such is the gratitude of the Irish Catholics to the present Government of Ireland ; and such the elucidation which Mr. O'Con nell and the Association have furnished of the sincerity of protestations and promises hardly yet cold from their lips. Happily all illusion is fast dispelling from the minds even of their advocates in this country. For ourselves, we should long since have been disgusted with the subject, if we had not had a great public duty to perform, from which nothing sTtall tempt us to swerve. On Thursday week, the Rev. CaAtt.r.Es . LEE, B. A. of St. John-lee, was appointed Lecturer of Ilexham Church, by the Mercer's Corn pany of London. As soon as the news arrived at liexhani, the bells were rang and continued to ring at intervals throughout the day. COURSE OF EXCHANGE, January 25.

FIRE AT BRlSTOL.—(Further Particulars.) — Friday evening a dreadful fire broke out in the range of buildings over the High -street market house, Bristol. The fire began about half-past ten o'clock, and so rapid was the progress of the devouring element, and so instantaneously did it communicate to the several premises held by dif ferent occupants, that it has become a difficulty to say in what part it commenced. The livid glare of a volume of flame, nearly fifty yards in extent, excited the most painful apprehensions in most parts of Bristol, and those in the immediate vicinity instantly sent all their books to a place of safety, and packed their furniture and other pro perty ready for removal at a moment's notice. The engines speedily arrived ; but the pipes be longing to several engines were so much out of re pair as to be almost unfit for use. About twelve o'clock the roof of the western half of the build ings fell in, and the fire rose in a tremendous sheet of livid flame to the sky. All hopes of saving this extensive range of buildings were then abandoned. The whole of the market house, from Messrs. Courcall and Jenning's, next the Arcade leading from High-street, to the Crown Cellar, were a prey to the devouring ele ment ; and the efforts of the firemen were direct ed to prevent its extending to High-street, or down the range of butchers' shops to St. Ni cholas's Church, and they succeeded, but it was not till nearly two o'clock that it became a matter of certainty that the fire would be confined to its then limits. FIRE.-Yesterday morning a fire broke out in one of Messrs. Duncan and Lee's corn granaries, Shad Thames. Owing to the lowness of the tide in the river, a sufficient sup ply of water was not obtained for upwards of an hour--the result was, that the extensive premises, from the water's edge to-New Lane, were consumed, and a third stack of granaries, belonging to the same firm, was much injured. The property was insured to the amount of 80001. in the Imperial.
