' ~~ ~.~ DA ILA' EMORNiIIe cItfIONIGCE.I _ _ THE LONDON-JOURNALS. Extracts from the Morning Papers, Oct. 19, 1825. We have before uss - a file of Madrid Gazettes to the Ist instnnf, but use see nothing in them of the Amnesty Decree, which it was said had been issued by the Spanish Government about the 26th WC - - The fact is, these Papers contain nothing worthy of notice but an Exposition presented to the King bj the Junta appointed to aid the Mi niiters: by their counsel and suggestions, in the arduous' situation in which Spain is at present platted. It is a curious paper, 'and ,the l a nguage issed on this occasion is certainly hetfer calculat ed for a conclave of Franciscan Friars than for a body of men assembled for political. - and finan cial pueposes. In liadrid, some hopes were en tertained, that in the appointment - of this Junta there was something like sincerity on the part of .ing, and that good would result from it, particularly as the measure is known to have the support of the French ; but, from the moment - this document appeared, all hopes -- vanished. In the present situation, to tell the King that they meet for the purpose of contri tilting to " the splendour and perpetuity of his throne, the integrity of his' hereditary dominions, the indissoluble union of the Empire, and the Priesthood," &c., adding that his will shall be their Only law, is an insult to a suffering people. In;the - composition of this Junta, many of the functionaries formerly employed as viceroys or military commanders in South America, are to be, found, - which induces a belief that this will be one' of the subjects on which their advice will be asked, although it will be seen that they profess them selves' pledged, at least by this first act, to the integrity - .of the King's hereditary dominions. Time will shew what change there is in their sentiments, when they come to look stedfastly at the queition. orricist ARTICLIC. Exposition. presented to his Majesty by the Royal Consultative Junta of Government, on the day of their Installation. Sire—Your Consultative Junta of Government, in this first moment of their installation, are not in a situation to act or ad vise. The Members thereof, surprised at the honours and con fidence you bestow upon us, in your sovereign Decree of the 13th instant, are alternately agitated'by the most profound Fa titude, and a dread of our incapacity or insufficiency. *Your Majesty traces out for us the road to success, and also to that prosperity you wish for your people and vassals, and you enjoin Lis to suggest to you the means, by aiding your Council of Mi nisters. Our heads are not such as your Majesty seeks—such as the Government merits—nor such as Spain requires. But we do not hesitate to affirm that your Majesty is not mistaken' in the fidelity of our hearts. Indefatigable, Sir, we will devote ourselves to labour, mendicating with docility, information and learning, from those who know. Faithfully observing your Majesty's severe precept, secrecy, screening, or disfiguration, shall not be found among us. The ingenuousness and candour of our sentiments shall not be sacrificed to considera tions of interest or private views. No partiality or party spirit shall bear us away. Our integrity shall not be dismayed by the dread of the enmity or persecution which usually attend truth ; we will endure its shafts with undaunted con stancy. The glory of your Majesty, the splendour and per. petuity of your Throne, the integrity of your hereditary domi :lions, the decorum of your august family, the indissoluble union of the empire and priesthood, the re-establishment of the fdrne the Spanish State once enjoyed among other Powers, the encouragenaetit of individual riches, endeavouring to bind them to those of the State and Government; the replacing of so many deficiencies and losses experienced ; the adoption of the• contributibns to possibility, and no more ; the consolidation of a credit to supply the place when contributions fail; the saving of every thin that may not be indispensably necessary; the • suspension of all allowances not erising out of just. demands n retrenchments which do not bring with them indigence; re forms and modifications, which may reanimate the nation with out depressing the subjects. Such will be the objects for the guidance of the Junta, and the will of your Majesty, and , the directions of your Council of Ministers, shall be their only :tire of aetiou. The Junta will perish a thousand times rather t}:an be wanting to your Majesty.—Madrid, Sept. 26. 1825." [Here follow /4 signatures.' [MORNING POST.] The intelligence brought yesterday from so many different quarters, France, Holland,Ger. many, the Hanseatic towns,and the lonian Islands,. is t we are happy to state, of an uniformly favour. able character. The great bane of the Morea, the dissensions which prevailed amongst its yeti. uus Chieftains and States Men,. had at length ceased to overate. The difficulty which they had experienced and continued still to feel, to. drive the Egyptians from the interior of their country had compelled them to lay down their ancient anirnosities and individual ambitions. On this account, ,it is perhaps fortunate that Ibrahim Pacha penetrated so far, and maintained himself so long in hazardous position which he had taken. Had his successes been confined to the capture of Navarinti ; or had his irruption been quickly repelled, the union of parties, if at all effected, would have been only momentary, and discord svoitld -not even have waited his departure to con vulse theism]. But the pressure of danger has been long, heavy, and, uniform. It has not only 'bent doWn lofty spirits, sntl mingled together dis sident piiiions and interests:it has moulded them into a n€w form, and given them a habit and a state of 'being from which they will not easily depart. • The lesson has been severe, but it has enforced a salutary discipline ; and as it has a t last been proved that not only independence but existence itself depended on the maintenance of 'general-union, and the hour of peril is not wholly peest, there is 'no fear that the Morea, when once regaled:from its foes, should again yield to those Cs - 561 . 65M which laid her open . to slaughter and desolation. It appears certain that Ibrahim Pachaf receiving no reinforcement from any quar ter, and 'bearing of the repulses of the Seraskier . -before:l4Ssalnnghi, of the flight of the Pacha of • iNlegropoit . bark to-Eubtea, and of the general In'Sarreelfreh': in' Candia, quitted Tripolizza with •part.orisis :army, ticeendeavour to re-open a corn- Intinicttlibn with the sew, without losing the itn ,poetint;'ii.osition which lte 'held in the centre of the ,ifleloponliesus, ft also appears that this di'v'i'si'on . forcea has produced the ,ought •to have anticipated.' The 'Greeks . suffered him "to pass towards the s'ragingin all his gar risons, an : 4.4904111e. way-against -his return. — They fell 'then upon 'the tivridus'posts which, his troops , Astcdpied. near Tripolikza, and carried them - s t utivtssiVely, dOtidying or . taking the de ta"Chinetilta-hy-Whotu:they 'were defended, till the •EgyptiatisNvere confined to the - ruins•of that-city, filled 'w,liti`,3l4 dna' ivdundgcl, and but ill sup plied witti•provisionS. In one of these actions the Arabs are said to have lost 500 men in killed and wounded. Meanwhile Ibrahim, finding no fleet on the coast to carry him acTay; and dreading tlie plague if'he entered any . of his fortresses,attempted to tread back his steps• to Triponiza. In this, it seems, he has completely failed, and being no longer in sufficient' numbers to force a passage, he remains in the midst of enemies equally formi dable and destructive—the Greeks on the one side, the Plague on the other : famine within his camp, and beyond it the sea, ploughed by the triumphant keels of the active and vigilant Miaulis. [THE TIMES.] The failure of a fourth attempt within these seven years, at the discovery of a North West Passage, raises the very interesting question, how long such a course of unpropitious adventure is to be persisted in, and how often the appalling risk of brave men's lives is to be repeated ? Whether from mischance of seasons, or other causes, no progress, it plainly appears, has been made by„Capt. Parry during his two last expedi tions, though with all the increased advantages of more perfect equipment, more mature observation, and more copious materials for the guidance of his daring, watchful, and discriminating mind. The accidents which threaten our intelligent country men 6i every league of their dismal and experi mental navigation, are such, it is obvious, as no sagacity can anticipate, and no human force con. tend with. It therefore, we say, becomes a se. rious duty for• the King's Government to weigh well the reasonings for and against another of these perilous and expensive trials. It would be no light thing for the British nation to waste upon an irresistible iceberg so large an amount of life, intelligence, and merit, as even within these few weeks were all but sacrificed to the speculative dictum of a gentleman, who having once written wide polar seas into existence, and rendered therm accessible by the fusion of whole conti nents, of ice into the Atlantic, appears resolved to force a passage through them, whether nature has made one or not. We do not say that there exists no polar ocean; we do not affirm that the nearer a vessel approaches the North Pole, from her entrance into the Arctic Circle, she may not have the better chance of finding sea as open as at the Equator. All we contend for is, a calm consult. ation upon two questions, before a fifth adven ture shall be resolved upon—lst, Whether the prospect of success, after so many failures from such various causes, be enough to justify the risk of such valuable lives ? 2d. Whether, on grounds which have occasionally been made public? a voyage of discovery commencing at Behring's Strait., might not furnish some more plausible ex pectations of accomplishing the object, which, at the same time, we beg to have it understood, that for the sake of science we regard as a worthy and a noble object ? 3d. Whether the most pro mising scheme of all would not be a series of land expeditions, starting on the east from Candia, as. at present, and on the west from the Russian settlement nearest to Behring's Straits ? We are aware that it is written down otherwise in the Quarterly, and that a review, to say nothing of an official reviewer, must, in the nature of things, be infallible. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The Greek; will probably gain another incal culable advantage from the presence of so active, enterprizing, and vigilant an enemy as Ibrahim Paella has proved himself to be. Besides pre venting their ardour from cooling, and keeping them constantly under arms, the sight of his dis ciplined troops will have the inevitable effect upon themselves of convincing them of the ad vantages of discipline ; and the conviction is only necessary to induce the practice. The Greeks are hardy, temperate, and as capable as any people of enduring fatigue and priva tion ; but these qualities, so eminently useful to the formation of good soldiers, have been in a great measure hitherto lost for want of 'discipline : and the want of the latter is the cause that their battles are mere bush fighting. This defect will probably disappear in the event of Ibrahim Pacha venturing in the Morea, of which very little doubt in our opinion can be enter tained. Be this as it may, the Greek cause, con trary to general expectation, is again erect; and this year, the most critical and trying of any in the whole struggle, will evidently pass, without verifying any of those gloomy anticipations, from which even its friends were not wholly free, until very recently. Having now, it may be truly said, triumphed over the extraordinary perils of this year, the Greeks may, without exposing them selves to a charge of presumption, see in the fu ture incomparably greater ground for confidence than anxiety. They have acquired more experience too in the course of this half year, than they had in all the preceding years of the struggle ; and circumstances abundantly justify us in coming to the conclusion, that the next campaign will begin for them, under much happier auspices than they could boast of in any former instance. In the first place, they will have, beyond all compari son, a more efficient naval force—and such will be their superiority at sea, that the Turks will probably not venture to shew themselves in the Archipelago again, and that all communication will be cut off between Egypt and the Morea. In this remark there is a key to the fate, that awaits Ibrahim Pacha ; and it is more than pro bable, that the Greek cause, as it has got clear of the breakers, by which it was beset some time since, %ill at last reach the harbour in safety• LMORMING HERALD.] We. have received the following article from Paris, dated Oct 14 :—" An attempt has been made at Gueret, in the department of La Creuse, to bring' the new law upon sacrilege into play, but the accusation was of so absurd a nature that the essay proved abortive. The following are the circumst ances: —M• Perrot, the principal proprietor in the commune of Bazelet, under standing that it was the intention of the Cure to conduct the procession of the Fele Dieu through his pasture grounds, called at the Cure's house, and not finding him at hornet told his servant that he was averse to the procession pass ing.through his commu nicated to th e ,m . Perrot, an d l c p u r r o e p , e t r ie ty c . o o ed n o th n is being asked him if it was his intention to hinder the procession from passing through his land. M. l Perrot answered in the affirmative ; to which the Care replied—" 'Tis very well, we shall see when the time comes." M. Perrot, however, did not keep to his resolution, and the procession passed over his land without any let or hindrance. Yet strange to say, the Cure drew up a complaint against him, for having verbally expressed his in tention. This was signed by the Mayor, and transmitted to the King's Attorney—and what is still more extraordinary, this grave functionary thought proper to prosecute, before the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Gueret, M. Perrot, and called for the application to him of the 13th ar ticle of the Law of Sacrilege, which punishes with fine and imprisonment any attempt to trouble or obstruct religious ceremonies or processions. In the course of the trial, the King's Attorney broached the very extraordinary doctrine, that whenever a priest, in the exercise of his func tions, shall command any thing to be done, no matter of what nature, the first duty of the sub ject is to obey. Let him afterwards if there be cause, make his complaint to the proper autho rities. The Members of the Tribunal, however, were not inclined to sanction such extraordinary passive obedience, for they acquitted M. Per rot. This affair may serve to convey some idea of the inordinate pretensions and domineer ing spirit of the present race of Cures, such as they have been formed in the new semi naries. A new Cure has recently refused to allow a person to stand sponsor to a child, because he gained his livelihood by playing the violin, and what is still more extraordinary, he hesitated not to give him a certificate, stating the cause of which the following is a copy : ._ " I, the undersigned Cure of Pont St. 11iaxence, certify to all those whom it may concern, that I had no other reason for re fusing to admit DI. Dulnin as sponsor, than his profession of a fiddle player. (Signed) " 1111JIRKT." One of the Priests of the .church of St. Sulpice has refused to perform the usual rites over the body of M. Zoppi, proprietor of a celebrated Cafe in the Fauxbourg St. Germaine. No other cause for this refusal is known, except that M. Zoppi's Cafe was renowned for being the one where Voltaire frequently sipped his demitasse. —On Sunday last the buyers and sellers in a market in the Fauxbourg of St. Antoine, were thrown into great consternation by the appear ance of a mad cat. The furious animal bit three persons, and then fastened on a dog, which ran round the market, the cat still hanging to him by the teeth, and not letting go its hold till it was killed. The wounds of the three persons bitten (one of whom is a woman with child) have been cauterized." ENEW TIMES.] The Irish Papers have of late reported the proceedings at three or four local meetings of Roman Catholics, of no interest whatever beyond their own immediate neighbourhood, and proba bly not of much there. We therefore have pass ed them over generally without notice ; but we own, a short passage in a speech made at Cavan does rather disturb the tranquillity of our feel ings. This orator was a Doctor M‘Dounell, and he thought fit to load the Duke of York with abuse for speaking his honest sentiments as a Peerof Parliament. This was perhaps to be ex pected : but he goes on, in coarse allusion to the lamentable illness of our late revered Monarch, I will beg permission of the Duke of York to ask him one question,--who had deprived his father of his intellect, at the time he lost to Eng land one of the brightest gems in her diadem, the North American Colonies ?" There is a degree of brutality in this question, which must shock the feelings of every well-regulated mind. It is founded too in historical falsehood. The Ame rican war was not the war of George 111. It was the war of his Ministers, of his Parliament, and of a majority of his people. He himself went along with them conscientiously. Ile thought himself constitutionally bound to uphold the legis lative supremacy of the mother country, but he never attempted to step beyond those limits which the Constitution had set to his authority. How ever the fact seems to be that Dr. M‘Donnell only made use of this calumny on George 111. in order to introduce an inflated panegyric on America. The United States he says will soon be the first nation in the world : " time celestial air of freedom pervades the happy and United Provinces of North America"—" her happy shores are the refuge of all who are driven from home by tyranny and oppression." Yes; and of some few who are driven from home for other reasons. But if American freedom is so much more to the taste of the worthy Doctor than British freedom, why does he stay on this side of the Atlantic ? Why does he not hasten to breathe the celestial air of freedom ? Alas, the Doctor is a democrat, and like most other demo crats he is inconsistent. He would rather praise America than live in it ; rather slander his coun try than abandon her comforts and her blessings. [BRITISH PKRss.J It appears that the Committee of the Bradford Union do not afford any encouraging expectation that harmony is likely soon to prevail. Their re. sources are becoming daily more insufficient, and their solicitation of aid from all quarters more pressing, but their temper abates nothing of its persistency. The more sensible and reflective among th em , i t appears , are gett i ng di ss atisfied with th e general system of measures pursued by the more active party, and are well inclined in the heart to furl the standard of revolt, and to return to work with their old em ployers. Messrs. Holmes and 'fester complain as if the Members of the Union were most bitterly persecuted by the master manufacturers; but we really c annot see w i t h w h at j ust i ce t hi s c h arge is made. " Th ousan d s o f men, women, an d chil dren," says their placard, " are without employ ment, because they persisted in paying 6d. a week to a Union Society, which bad nothing whatever for its object but the protection of the Price of labour." This is a very plausible mode of putting the case, but it is by no means cor rect. The object of these associators was to create ,a fund which should enable them to maintain themselves while they stopped the machinery of the masters, and reduced them, if possible, by the Prospect o f u tt er ru i n , t o yi e ld to their demands. It is pure deception to call this protecting the price of labour, it is extorting it ; and the mas ters have manifestly , no other means of breaking up this combination than by peremptorily refus ing to receive into their employment any one known to be a party to it. if the workmen will give bowls, they must take rubbers. If they will enter into confederacies,and organise a plan which has for its object to force their employers into sub jection, they cannot, in common fairness, cry out against the mrans made use of by them to avoid it. They are not warranted to complain of this retalia tion, and to declare against it as" tyranny and op pression." Their own concerted resistance is, at least, as tyrannical in its principle, and as op pressive in its result, as the measure they exclaim against ; added to which, they should remember that it is the scheme first resorted to by them selves, that makes the counteraction of which they complain indispensable on the part of the masters. They would fain make themselves too strong to be governed, hut they must not expect to delude us into compassion for their sufferings because they meet with a resistance that mars their hope of success. DISCIPLINE OF MERCHANT VESSELS. The following summary of a trial appears in the Washington Gazette of the 9th ult.:— A highly important cause was tried on Tuesday last in our District Court, now sitting at the City Hall, before the Hon. Judges Thompson and Van Ness ; and the decision must, in its results, prove highly beneficial to the commerce of the United States. It was the case of the United States against the crew of the ship Criterion. It appeared upon_ trial, that nine of the Cri tenon's crew, after signing the shipping article; and going on board, refused to do duty, on the plea that there was one man short. It is not our intention to give a detailed account of this trial, but to confine ourselves to the principal facts, in order to ex hibit the case in such a point of view as to prevent a repetition of a similar offence. It appears that on the 10th June, the Criterion being ready for sea, the crew was ordered to weigh anchor, but nine of them refused. The next day a similar order was also disobeyed.— The Captain was consequently obliged to procure a gang of riggers to take the vessel to Sandy Hook, hoping that, after the ship had passed the light-house, his men would come to a sense of their duty ; but when the pilot and riggers were about to leave the ship off Sandy Hook. the men still persisted in their obstinacy. The ship of course was necessarily obliged to return, and anchored again in the north river on the following Monday. On Wednesday the sailors were taken before Judge Thompson, and not being able to justify their conduct, were committed to bridewell, to take their trial for a revolt. The Criterion was thus detained, at a heavy expence, until the 21st of June, when she proceeded to sea with a new crew. On the trial the proof of guilt was positive ; but it waif ar. gued that the law was not clear as to making this offence a re volt; but the Learned Judge, in a clear and satisfactory man ner, made it evident that the offence, in its probable results, might amount to the charge in the indictment of revolt—that it was an offence against which the laws had provided—and one which, if not punished, might occasion incalculable loss, vexa tion, and inconvenience to merchants and ship-owners. The Jury brought in a verdict of Guilty. In passing sentence on Saturday, the Judge, in a most fa therly style, pointed out the nature of the offence. and advised the prisoners against a repetition of their folly. He took occa sion to remind them, that the .lury had recommended them to the mercy of the Court, mid that the Court was very much in clined to make the punishment as light as possible, on account of their otherwise peaceable conduct while on board the Crite rion, but that it was necessary, as an example to others, to pu nish them. His sentence was, that those who had not been confined in Bridewell should pay each fifteen dollars, and stand committed for 60 days, or until the line was paid ; and that the two who had suffered confinement pay each ten dollars, and stand cvnmitted for 30 days. WAR AMONG TUE SNAK ES.—Travelling through one of the Southern States, my attention was attracted by a sin gular rustling in the thickets which bordered the road. I stop. ped my horse to learn its cause, and soon discovered, at a few paces from the track, a rattlesnake of rather more than ordinary size, in a coil such as these reptiles always throw themselves into on the approach or attack of an enemy, exhibiting every symptom of extreme rage, and displaying all those beauties for which its species are so remarkable when under the influence of passion. No cause for its disorder was at first visible, but in a short time a black snake darted from the surrounding bushes ra pidly across the folds o fh is antagonist a nd dis a pp eared on the other side. The rattlesnake did not fail to strike a t hi 4 darting assailant, but with what success the rapidity of their motion prevented me from determining. The rattlesnake remained in his coil, pre pared for another assault, which was accordingly soon offered by his black foe repairing, and again gliding across him with almost inconceivable rapidity, while the same attempt was made to punish the aggression. These movements were several times repeated with no apparent advantage to either party.— The black snake seemed once or twice struck with the fangs of his enemy, and yet returned with undiminished celerity to his subtle assault. The density of the underwood would not permit me to follow with my eyes his retreat; and however great my curiosity to ascertain how he employed the time of his absence, I could not prevail upon myself to indulge it by entering on so fatal a battle ground. At length the rattlesnake, in one of his attempts to revenge the insolence of his assailant, struck his fangs deep into his own body; he extricated them, stretched himself with every appearance 'of agony on the ground, and turning On his back, in a short time expired. The crafty victor once more appeared, and seizing the lifeless body in his mouth, dragged it from the scene of action.—(New York Evening Post, Sept. 10.) COURSE OF EXCHANGE, Oct. 18.
