THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Mr.tracts from the Morning Papers, Dec. 9, 1825. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The French Papers contain another instance of the illiberal Spirit of the Austrian Government, which seems to be running a course with that of Spain, to see which of them shall bring despotism into greater disrepute. One of the last efforts which the former has made to render its princi ples odious to all men, who are not absolutely knaves or idiots, is an order to prevent the pub lication of the Memoirs of the Prince de Line, which has been found amongst his other manu scripts. The Prince, who was one of the most gallant, amiable, and accomplished men of his time, was from birth as well as from principle, a friend to the class to' which he belonged, though he was from good taste, as well as from good sense, an enemy to all extravagant pretensions on the part of the privileged orders. He was at the some time the delight and ornament of every Court where he resided for any length of time ; but he wasa man of wit, and it was directed, both in his conversation and writings, in detecting gross prejudices and acknowledged abuses. But still he was not a Liberal, in the modern accepta tion of the word ; and, least of all, a pro fessed reformer. When the Austrian Govern ment trembles at the idea of the sentiments of such,a man seeing the light, we may conceive the sort of notions it would impart to the world. If its power were equal to its will, the whole race of publishers and printers would be declared in famous, and all the works that have been publish ed in France and England for the last thirty years, would be burned, with scarcely an excep tion, by the hands of the common hangman. How ever its faculty of executing is far inferior to that of wishing ; and we trust the distinction will be soon more marked. It appears, both from the French and Brussels Papers, that the Hungarian Diet is not to be intimidated so easily as the Emperor Francis flattered himself ; and instead of suspending its investigation of abuses, as it was imperiously required to do, it has taken cognizance of this arrogant requisition. The result of a six flays' debate upon this important subject, is a re solution, adopted almost unanimously, to address a second representation to his Imperial Majesty, to the same effect as the first, and in which a re dress of abuses is insisted upon, previously to the granting of supplies. Where this spirit will stop it is difficult to say ; whilst to arrest it, by dis solving the Assembly, would be a stretch of power so offensive, that it would alienate the whole Hungarian nation. That the refractory Members are mostly Nobles, does not depreciate the value of their opposition ; for, under despotic Governments, reform almost always originates in the ranks of the nobility. [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the 7th inst. and the Etoi/d of Wednesday reached us last night by express. The funds continued slowly to recover, though a report had gained ground upon 'Change at Paris, calculated to depress them, for it stated that the Cashier of a celebrated foreign House had disappeared, leaving behind him a small de ficit of only 2,400,000 francs! There is intelli gence from Rome in these Papers to the 25th ult. The health of the Pope was then much improved, though he had not yet taken a public airing. He had just issued an edict, one part of which, little as we are generally disposed to recommend any imitation of his Holiness, we think might be ad vantageously adopted. The object of this edict 35 to reduce the land-tax one-fourth ; but this reduction is not to extend to the property of individuals living in foreign countries who are to pay the whole until they return to reside on their own estates. If there be munificence in this re-' mission oltaxation, there is both policy and pa triotism in the manner in which it •is modified. Whilst Carbonari Chiefs have been executed at Rome, the King of Naples, who, it is true, placed himself openly at the head of the Car bOnari during the late revolution, and can there fore hardly punish at one time .what he encourag ed at another, has been mitigating the sen tences inflicted upon great numbers of patriots. who had long lingered in the expectation of death. In some cases this punishment had been commuted into banishment for life, in others into different periods of confinement. In doing so, the I\flonarch, we are told, " resolved to make use of the fairest prerogative of the Crown, that of saving the lives of persons condemned by laws which were, perhaps, too severe." [THE TIMES.] By French Papers of Tuesday, which arrived last night, we observe that the explosion of po pular feeling which took place at the funeral of General Foy, and the constitutional character of the late decisions pronounced by the Cour Royale, hive inspired the Ultra and Jesuitical party with alarm for their antiquated prejudices, and the li beral public, with confidence in the preservation of their civil and religious rights. " The revo lution approaches," says the Quotidienne ; " let us wrap ourselves in our mantles." " The " liberty of the press," answers the Contitution nel, " is for ever established, and patriotism is " not smothered in the bosom of peace." So far as catv be judged of the stability of public order, from the indications of national feeling arid the language of political writers, France had never so little reason to apprehend revolutionary move ments as at the present moment, when she may be said to have obtained a judicial confirmation 9f one of the most important articles of her Char ter. dissatisfaction with a Ministry, or ridicule 9( a faction, cannot now be confounded with Jacobin conspiracies, nor excite to acts of rebel lion. The creditors of the State may safely be allowed to grutnble at attempts to reduce their annuities, so long as the people do not complain of the oppression of taxes, or the want of em ployment ; and institutions, degrading to the re. ligiOn of the State, though honoured, by Court patronage, may be innocently exposed, so long as the Court is spared and religion respected. Par ties no longer dispute about questions affecting the existence of the Government or dynasty— " the rent no longer reaches the foundation." — The King of Naples has, it appears, displayed some singular acts of clemency in honour of the Queen's birth-day. He has commuted the sen tence of death pronounced upon two or three rebels, whom he himself headed as Crown Prince, into perpetual imprisonment and hard labour.— As his Majesty was the chief of the Carbonari while they committed their acts of treason, this indulgence of some of the brethren could scarcely have occasioned any great struggle between seve rity and mercy in his Royal heart. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The monopoly enjoyed by the Bank gives that body a power of influencing the commercial world, which no body ought to be allowed to possess. Hetice the grand question is always now—How is the Bank acting ?—is the Bank liberal or not Yesterday was Discount day, and the greatest anxiety was naturally felt with re gard to the manner in which the great Corpora tion would act.—The answer was delayed an hour beyond the usual time (two o'clock), but it gave satisfaction to many—for the Discounts were very liberal. The announcements of the day were very unfavourable. The failure of the Bank of Messrs. Wentworth, Chaloner, and Rush worth will, it is feared, be attended with the most serious consequences in Yorkshire. They had establishments in York, Wakefield and Bradford, had a house in London, and had branches besides in Leeds, Huddersfield, Tadcaster, Weatherby, and five or six other places. It is believed that they issued notes to the amount of at least 400,0001. Mr. Wentworth, one of the partners, has an estate of about 17,0001. a year, but he is above 60 years of age, and we cannot ascertain whether the estate is free or entailed. Mr. Cha loner is Member for York, and married the sister of Lord Dundas. Mr. Rushworth, the other part ner, bought a number of estates. It is feared the manufacturing population of the West Riding will suffer severely from the failure. We heard yester day of the failure of another Bank in the North Road, but the consequences of any mistake are so serious, that though informed of the failure by a gentleman who passed through the town, we are afraid to particularize the concern. The great curse is the Bank of England monopoly ; and though it would be unfair to attribute all the evils to the con duct of the Bank,we cannot be far wrong in placing it to the account of the monopoly. If banking, like trade, were free, it would not be in the power of one body to raise or lower interest arbitrarily, to limit or extend discounts, to feed the hopes of merchants one day, and plunge them in bank ruptcy the next. The banks would be obliged to attend to the state of the market, and the public would never be taken unawares by them. But it is not in London only, but throughout England, or rather still more in the country than in London, that a change of system is required. The monopoly, as vi e have again and again stated these three or four years, prevents the formation of Banks on a large scale, and se curely founded in the Provinces. Every person at present who has any local influence from his office as Magistrate, Receiver of Taxes, &c., sets up as banker, and deluges the country with his notes. It is true, the bankers themselves pay the penalty of their blunders in the long run, but ought the country to be abandoned to the experiments of every projector, with no other security than that afforded by the consideration that he must involve himself in the common ruin? But the votes of country bankers, and the country 'Squires connected with them,are useful to Mini sters, and therefore poor John Bull must be sacrificed. In return, he can shew his spirit by chalking the walls with " No Popery :" [MORNING HERALD.] It is gratifying to observe that some of the great landed proprietors in Ireland have latterly undertaken the really patriotic task of improving the condition and habits of their tenantry. We adverted some time ago to the improvements on the l3essborough estate. Yesterday we informed our readers that the Earl of Clare has converted the wretched hovels which surrounded his splen did mansion into cottages in the English style, and ornamented with comfort and cleanliness a region in which the beauty of nature had, from time immemorial, been marred and polluted by every appearance of human misery that makes the heart sicken and recoil. This is not the sort of patriotism " the agitators" like. It does not coincide with the objects they have in view. It is too wise and practical a mode of relieving the country to suit their vain and declamatory poll. tics. It is easier to make a noisy speech than to set a good example. Those persons who reside on their es ates at home circulate their wealth among those whose labour creates their riches, and teach their tenantry the value of the habits, which civilization carries in its train. In allud ing to men of this class, we could mention the names of the Marquis of Downshire, the Marquis of Thornond, the Earl of Charlemont, Meath, and Farnham ; the Lords Powerscourt, Gort, Lorton, and some others. A few opulent ' Commoners, in several counties, are now emu lating the example which has been set them by the La Touches of Wicklow, who first proved the capability of the labouring classes in their neighbourhood for the enjoyment of civilized habits, by giving them the means of comfortable existence. [NEW TIMES.] There is a class of public writers whose object is always to create confusion if it does not exist, and to exaggerate it if it does. They reckon that the craft is in danger, when mankind are tranquil and comfortable, and that if they can but render themselves oracles of discontent, they will be sure not to want votaries. A writer of this class in formed us yesterday that " aspirations bad been breathed in a certain cadence"—(fine words, to he sure, but wonderfully senseless)—and the ob ject of these cadences and breathings was, " that Government should issue an Order in Council, enabling the Bank to refuse Cash Payments !" We take upon ourselves to assert, that this is substantially as complete a fabrication as that must impudent •of all deceptions, the pretended conversation between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Go vernor and Deputy Governor of the Bank. — Nobody desires cash payments to be sus pended, and nobody has breathed an aspiration on the subject, in cadence, or out of cadence. — The idea has neither been entertained by Go vernment, nor by the Bank of England, nor by any single individual in the commercial world— if it has, we challenge the assortor of the fact to name the individual. This he will not do for simple rflason, because he cannot. But we may easily understand why this statement is thrown out, especially among country readers. It may lead them to believe that matters are in a state of great extremity, when so complete a subver sion of our currency system can be seriously me ditated. This is the great evil that we wish to guard against—namely, the belief of country readers in statements put forth for the mere pur poses of alarm. Let them consider how seldom the parties now attempting to mislead them have done any thing else but mislead them. Let them reflect, that in a state of peace, with a flourishing revenue and unimpaired resources, any derange ment of the money market can be but tempo rary ; and that for a temporary and trivial evil no man of sense would desire so violent a remedy. It is perfectly well known in London that nobody does desire it ; but at a distance from the metro polis, Newspaper fabrications may have some effect ; and if they have any, it must be alike prejudicial to individuals and to the public. The failure of one or two country banks, at a time of alarm like. the present, is not at all surprising. It must be remembered that some local causes have operated to produce embarrassment. Thus at Bradford, in Yorkshire, there was for several months a suspension of manufacturing industry, owing to the combinations of the workmen. It would not, therefore, be very surprising that any Bank connected with such a place should find its business obstructed; but local and particular mischances of this kind little affect the general prosperity of the kingdom. That rests on a solid basis; and so long as the present tranquillity prevailing throughout Europe continues—to which there is not the,slightest appearance of interrup tion—so long we may be confident that partial obstacles will not seriously impede the course of public good. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Times of yesterday attempts, not merely to vindicate, but to praise itself for the inflam matory endeavours it has made to aggravate the embarrassments which, at this moment, afflict the commercial world, and for the extent to which it has contributed to excite that public alarm which has been so injurious to private credit, and so destructive to commercial confidence. But its mancouvre on this subject is worth re marking. The public are gravely told, in its leading article on the state of the Money Market, that " with respect to the measures taking in the City to support commercial credit, the present conduct of the Bank Directors is lauded, al though they, it is said, have to bear the blame of having brought on the crisis by their own previous deviations from sound principles of banking." It is said ! and who has said it ? Is it not the Times itself that has, day after day, accused the Bank of having " brought on the crisis" by 44 having lent its aid to stimulate and encourage the rage for speculation ?" Has this Journalist not, day after day, endeavoured to de preciate the credit of the Bank by undervaluing its resources, and by enumerating dangers which have no existence ? But after attempting indi rectly to retract its malignant insinuations, and to shift aside the indignation it has so justly incurred from every quarter, this journalist manifestly feels humiliated by even this slight recantation, ai d he accordingly endeavours to recover from it by introducing a second leader ; by way of apology for which, we are told that 64 the state of the money-market requires a few additional remarks," and he then returns to his attack on the bankers, and renews his endea• yours to cry down their credit and to destroy the public confidence in their stability. It is asked - 64 Are not these bankers well aware that the state to which they have brought things, by their over issues and their too ready supplies from scanty capitals, was a state most grievously oppressive and injurious to the nation, as well as destructive of its cha racter 'and morals ? Why ask, thus -artfully, if the Bankers are not well aware of having caused those dreadful effects on the credit, pro sperity, character, and morals of the nation ? The accusation is as false as it is mischievous ; and it is only an additional insult to ask the bankers if they are not conscious of its truth. The public are moreover told that, 44 such is the thoughtlessness of mankind, that If the difficulties now existing were smothered up, and the accommodation paper men suffered to huddle up their affairs as well as they could,without being obliged to put their real funds to the test, their escape, and not their danger, would be pleaded as a prece dent to regulate their future conduct." The manifest object of all this is, to induce all who may have any sums of money at a banker's " to put their real funds to the test ;" and by this means, to occasion a run upon them, which, tak ing them suddenly, they may be unprepared to meet. The Times has omitted no effort which could tend to produce this effect. But we would entreat all whom its misrepresentations may have misled, to whom its assertions may have inspired with alarm, to pause, and consider, whether by their groundless want of confidence they may not them selves occasion the very danger they apprehend ? No banker, frogs the very nature of his establish ment, can be supposed to keep unemployed and unproductive in his chest the whole of the money deposited with him by his customers, and if such alarmists as the Times and Cobbett—for the for mer is, on this subject, but an mho of the, latter, and does but repeat and revive, at second hand, all his stale and worn-out invectives against small notes, and credit, and paper currency—we say, if such malignant alarmists as these shall succeed in exciting the whole mercantile world, as with one accord, to call in every shilling of their mo ney at any particular moment, it is obvious that no bank, however solvent, could be prepared with resources to meet such a demand. A banker may have the means of doubly satisfying any calls that may be made upon him, but he still cannot, from the very nature of his business, have a sum adequate to this exigency forthcom ing on the instant. We all know that an indivi dual with 10,0001. of property out on mortgage, and ten thousand pounds more in the funds, may be unable to satisfy upon the spot an unexpected demand of one thousand pounds : yet would any tnan of common sense have any fear for the safety of his claim because the means of discharging were not immediately available ? What man— except from malicious or interested motives— would endeavour to depreciate the credit of such an individual ? What but such motives then could induce any one to endeavour to occasion a run upon public bankers, for the purpose of " put ting their real funds to the test ?" What can justify any Journal which has the power of work ing insidiously upon the public mind, and operat ing on its fears to a fatal extent ;—what, we ask, can justify it in misleading its readers as to the true principles upon which public business is conduct ed, and the true basis upon which all credit rests, and influencing them to act, from causeless appre hension, in a manner fatal both to the public inte rest and their own ? But as the Times has chosen to fight under Mr. Cobbett's banners, its proceed ing is quite in character. We had intended to investigate the causes which have led to the pre sent state of commercial credit, but the length of our present article obliges us to postpone this inquiry till our next. REMARKS ON TACTICS, AND MILITARY EDUCATION IN ENGLAND, The wars in which Great Britain has been often involved with continental enemies, in the course of the last century, afford abundant proof that a standing Army is necessary to her security during peace ; and that it furnishes the only means by which she can cope with Standing Armies in a foreign soil, during war. This fact being admitted, for in truth no other kind of Army can be depended upon, it is of primary im portance that such a system of Military discipline, comprehending an accurate knowledge of the art of war, both in theory and practice, should be introduced and constantly kept up in the Army, as shall insure the good order of all its constituent parts, and give efficiency to its opera tions. Secured by her insular situation, and pro tected by her naval bulwarks, from those inva sions to which contiguous nations, only separated by a nominal boundary, are more readily exposed; and from the same cause, not so likely to be em broiled in continental wars. Great Britain, on this. account, was contented with an Army, which in point of numerical force, was small in com parison with those of the Continent, and con sequently only held in proportionate estima tion as a Military Power. On the breaking out of .a war, therefore, it always became necessary 'to augment her armies from the militia, and by new leviel; which, when brought into actual service, were generally found more or less ineffective, undisciplined, or they soon were rendered unfit for the campaign, by diseases to which raw troops are more particu larly liable. As a great proportion of the officers also, would be found inexperienced for service, and deficient in the necessary qualifications for millitary operations, it would not excite surprise if the result of a campaign, whose operations were dependant upon such an Army, were mark ed with disapointment and discomfiture. The d is ' advantages under which the Army suffered in this respect, are in some degree attributable to the want of facilities for obtaining military edu cation. in this country ; and it is not a little re markable, that no uniform system of tactics was introduced, nor generally enforced by authority till the year 1791, when it was done through the exe'ti9ns of the late General Sir David Dundas. That excellent officer, who had, by personal observation, and unwearied attention, made hint'. self thoroughly acquainted with the most im- Troved tactics of Prussia, was the first, %vho, under„ the sanction of the Commander-in-Chief, "rendered this signal service to the British Army, and he lived long enough to see it universally adopted. Some amendments, it is true, have been made at various times in his system ; in points calculated to facilitate and give increased celerity to some of the movements and formations, especially in the judicious alteration lately introduced by the present Adjutant-Ge neral. In respect to the means of attaining a ge neral Military Education, however, that is to say, a seminary to teach the duties of the Army Offi cer, and to instruct him in. the art of war, there was nothing provided in England until the in stitution of the Royal Military College in 1799 or 1800. The first object in view at that period was the establishment of a Royal School for the instruction of Army Officers in every branch of military science, and in the French and German languages. In 1802, a separate branch, or Col lege, was also opened for the reception and edu cation of young Gentlemen for the Army in ge neral, founded upon a plan similar to that of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich ; and placed under the governance and direction of able and indefatigable officers and masters in every branch of instruction, subservient to mili tary education. Since the foundation of that In stitution-, a new wra may be said to have com menced in the ranze of scientific acquire ments of the Army Officer. The masterly tactics of Wellington, during the Peninsular war, owe no small portion of their excellence to the science of some Officers of his Lordship's Staff, who studied at that College. There is now, in fact, scarcely a regiment in the army, which does not possess some officers from this Military school, who, to previous military habits and association, add more or less knowledge of tactics, fortification, mathematics, military and landscape drawing, surveying, and languages. The office of the Quartermaster -General teems with able and accurate plans, and military sur • vet's of countries, and stations, sent from. almost every part of the country, and of the known world, executed by some of those Officers, and furnishing the undoubted evidences of their zeal and proficiency in those respects. This was not the case in the army before. Such a cquiremen ts are not ideal, they are solid and useful • dung war, they are inestimable. Nor are these th e sole advantages which education at these confer upon the Army. The youth who are.edii: rated there, being inured to the early practice of arms and athletic exercises and deriving likewise, the advantages of regular and salutary habas•ot. life, become fortified in health, strength, and constitution, and acquire a tone and robustnes9 better suited to encounter the vicissitudes and hardships of military service, than young ow" who enter the army under circumstances less favourable in these respects. From all the abi 3 " considerations we are warranted in our .conclu sion, that• our army is more efficient, that science is more ardently sought after, and generally di fused amongst the great body of 'our Officers; while the discipline and good order of the sOl diers are better preserve d,. and preserved pi schools milder and more judicious modes of punishmeu!' than was the case in our army formerly; t hat .; to say, , at the commencement of the last vlar short, that a British Army, under the auspice of the present Comm an d er -i n -Chief, never P er• i , - haps' attained so high a pitch o f knowledge' ex` perience, and discipli ne , as ex i s t s at the Pr e '" tune.—(From the Cork Advertiser.)
