THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Ea:tract? from the Morning Papers , July 21,1825. e [TIIE PUBLIC LEDGER.J It has been attempted of late to create an ex traordina.cy interest in favour of Hayti, though we are ,not aware of.any thing new in her situa tion -to account for it. Whatever may be the cause of this sudden and lively sympathy, the effectisobvious enough in the number of rumours and speculations that have been set afloat rela tive to the recognition of her independence. The mystery-of the matter is this, that there was not a shadow of truth in any thing that has been put forth upon the subject. The French Government which has been said to have taken an interest in acisnowle:lging her political existence, has not, it now appears, taken a single step of late, direct or indirect, to this purpose. It is equally as well as certained that no fresh overtures have come from the Heytian Government; and on the latest ad vices from that Island that have reached this country, it is expressly stated, that no attempt had been made on either side to renew the negocia lions that were broken off at Paris. By the way of the United States, confirmation of the intelli gence has just been received ; and it is distinctly stated that President Boyer has expressed it as his determination not to make any farther ad vances to the French Court, till he has received assurances from the latter of his earnest desire to meet his wishes on fair and honourable terms. He also requires a pledge that any person he should employ on a new mission, should be re ceived in France with due honours ; and as these are his sine qua nan, they must convince every one, who knows any thing of the Cabinet of the Thuilleries, that they will be treated by the latter as inadmissible. Through the same chan nel, intelligence has been received respecting England, which may be considered as inte resting, though it is merely the echo of a former account. It says, that the Tlaytian Go vernment is resolved to put the manufactures and trade of England on the same footing as those of other nations, if the establishment of a political intercourse with the latter be any longer de layed. Besides the suspicious channel through which this information has been received, for the United States are a fertile field of sinister, or rather envious, reports respecting England, this is evidently one of the on dits which are more easily circulated than verified. Boyer is far too prudent a personage to come to the determina tiou,svhich is here ascribed to him ; and he has toO much good sense to suppose that he could :On any thing from this country by menace.— His Majesty's Government are, no doubt, alive to the justice of the claims advanced by that State ; and if they have not publicly admitted as yet their validity, they. have been deterred alone by high political considerations. If Co lombia, which has a more immediate interest in the subject, has excused herself, upon the ground of political expediency, from recognizing the independence of Hayti, it would be absurd to find fault with our Government for resting their objections upon the same ground, particularly when the friendly nature of our relations with F;aace is considered. [MORNING POST.] A Supplement to the London Gazette was pub lished yesterday. All the important parts of its contents were given in the Morning Postof Tuesda y last. These were the official dispatches of Col. Richards, announcing the capture of the capital of Assam, the expulsion of the Burmese, and the complete subjugation of the country ; to gether with the details of the successful opera tions of 04' army, which led to those important and happy events. Calcutta Gazernment azettes to the 4th of March have come to hand. They inform us, in addition to our last accounts of the successful operations of our Army in India, that the force under the command of Brigadier-General Mor rison had passed the Naaf, and entered the pro vince of Arracan, the immediate result of which was the-evacuation of Muegdoo and Lowadhang by the enemy. Every appearance foreboded a speedy and glorious termination of the war in thatAuarter.—(lbid.) AP •,..! • : [ MORNING CHRONICLE.] TC'e,extracts from the Calcutta Papers, which we pabiisiwd yesterday, will convince all those who before doubted, if any man did really doubt, the total incapacity of tiro present head of the Government of India for the important static: , which he fills. The observations of the Editors of these papers are such as might be expected from a degraded and servile Press, tolerated on condition of landing all the measures of Govern ment. -These 'Editors pass high encomiums on the firmness of Lord Amherst, in retaining possession of Rangoon, from which happy measure all th e i r late successes have at:l4n. NOw we ask our readers, or any person acquainted with mi friary, matters, why ail these events would not have, been accomplished as well by employing our troops after the capture of Rangoon, in some other part of the roast of Ifurma, and stationing a small naval force to . blockade that port and river, instead of leaving those gallant men in a state of inactivity, to starve and perish from the climate in that horrible place. The wise men of the east now begin to try the coarse which ought to have been adopted long before a soldier was land ad on the Burmese ter ritory, that is, negociating alliances with the people in Arica!), Assarn, Pegue, and the SiaMese. Lord Amherst had before Lira the example of the most enlightened Statesmen who ever held the ° ) ince - of Governor:General of India : the Mar - quisses .. Cornwallis . , Wellesley, and Hastings. We have it on record, that not a soldier enter ed the Mysore country, or ,a demand was made upon Tippoo Sultan, • until Treaties of Alli ance, offensive and defensive, were concluded with tlie States' on his „frontier, •the Mahrattas ? and the Nizam; and with these Tributaries uti. tier his protection who were known to be inimi cal to his Government; the army in an efficient state to move forward with effect on his capital and not before every information was obtained of the nature and resources of the country we were about to invade. The Ma rquis of Hastings fol lowed this course in all the wars he carried on so successfully against the Mahrattas and the Pindarees, in Central India. Not so in the present instance—we attempted to conquer an extensive, powerful empire with 10,000 men, without any preparatory arrangement, or know ledge of the country, and commenced operations at a season of the year, against a place from which it was impossible to advance into the interior of the country, or to remain in with safety from its pes tilential climate, and with an equipment totally inadequate to any other purpose than a coup de main. We understand that so very limited was the supply of provisions and ordnances stores sent with the envision from Bengal, the granary and chief military depots of India, that within a month after its arrival at Rangoon, thevcommis. sariat of the Madras division was called 4.pon for a supply of both ! ! [BRITISH PRESS.] The Paris Papers of Monday reached our Office last night. It is reported that the educa tion of the Duke de Bordeaux will be confided to the Minister for Foreign. Affairs, the Baron de Dainas. Governor, however, will not be appointed till the young Duke completes his seventh year. We regret to learn that Lord Granville has had a fall from his horse, by which he has been confined to his hotel since the acci dent. The contusions, however, are not serious. Spain continues in the same distracted state in which that unhappy kingdom has so long been. General Lascerna has joined the vio lent party, and by their influence has" been able to remain in Madrid in spite of his old enemy, Pezuela, who belongs to what is called the moderate party. The influence of the latter, however, is not on the decline. M. Zea Ber mudez is reghrded as. their head, and by his orders or permission the amnesty of the king of Portugal has been copied at full length into the Madrid Gazette. On the other hand, strong and successful efforts are making for the restoration of the Inquisition. The Council of Castile, to whom Ferdinand re►erred the consideration of that subject, reported decidedly in its fa. your. Unless the Council of Ministers should think otherwise, and be resolved to withstand the powerful party with which they will • have a struggle, nothing can prevent the re-establishment of the Holy Office in all the" plenitude of its au thority. It has been ascertained that the Apostolic Junta were the authors of the disorders of the 16th of June. Two Canons, in their service, were employed to get up the sham plot for the poisoning of the Royalist volunteers. These men have hitherto eluded the vigilance of the police, but they are actively pursued. The ramifications of the conspiracy extended to every province in the king dom. If the attempt had not failed in the capi tal, hands of armed partisans would have made their appearance in every quarter, and the work of extermination. would have been simultaneously commenced over the whole face of the country. The Government of Ferdinand VII. isnotthe worst possible. The pure Um:cos regard him as little better than a negro. The news from Greece is singularly contradictory. Yesterday the patriots were represented to be every where triumphant. To-day they are on the verge of destruction. The spirit of exaggeration prevails to a greater extent with respect to the events of this struggle than we ever remember before to have witnessed.— Ibrahim Pacha is said to have advanced some distance into the Morea, and to have defeated a body of 1,200 Greeks, who were entrenched 10 or 11 leagues to the north of Modon. The loss of the - Egyptians is admitted to have been very severe. This is the story told by the Aus trian Observer. According to another German Paper, a fresh divisio❑ of 5,000 Egyptians bad arrived at Candia from Alexandria. The recall of Colocotroni had revived the dissensions, which it was intended to extinguish, and that military chief, in violation of his oath of obedience, had seized on the supreme authority, and put to death the President Conduriotis, and the late Minister of War, Celetti. These accounts are much too extravagant to be credible. We hope they ure utterly without foundation. [NEW TIMES.] We received last night the French papers of Monday, with the Evening paper dated Tuesday. The Etoile contains an article from the Austrian Observer, dated Vienna, the Bth instant, which states, on the authority of letters from Smyrna of the 17th June, that fresh advantages had been, gained over the Greeks by the Egyptian Army in the Morea ; Ibrahim Paella having advanced with 8,000 men, had attacked a body of Greeks, chiefly Moreats, to the number of 1,700, entrenched in a position to the north of ll4odon, and having sur. rounded them, they were destroyed after a des perate resistance. The Allgemeirze Zeitung of the 14th July also gives news unfavourable to- the Greeks. The Journal des Debuts has a letter from Madrid, of the 7th inst., which describes the perilous and disturbed state of Spain, and the manner in which the town of Malaga had been saved from imminent danger from a plot (prepared at Madrid, as it is asserted) among the Royalist Volunteers, of whom a battalion had been in consequence disarmed ; and many persons in the town engaged in the conspiracy had made their escape, while others had been arrested. [THE TIMES.] .From a report of what passed at a recent Meet. ing, of Irish Catholics, we see with regret that Mr. O'Connell has been re-assuming some of his (we had hoped by this time to consider them) cast-off habits, of loose and unseemly vulgarity with regard. to the people of England. What business has any man who aims at the reputation of prosecuting, great and useful measures by liberal and honest means, to hold up the pro. ceedings connectwi with that wretch Titus Oates, as affordiug.a specimen of the present En glish character ? If Mr. O'Connell were a per. son who always reflected ere he spoke, he would be aware that sneers against national or party prejudice, founded on the transactions of the 16th and 17th centuries, might be retaliated with no small effect upon bodies of men as well as individuals, on both sides of the Catholic question. If it be set‘ down as proof of illibe rality in Protestant fanatics of the present day, that they admit no improvement in the tenets, habits, or general character of Popery, since those times when the members of that communion had, under Mary of intolerant and bloody memory, filled the . ' best houses of the king dom with mourning, and the heart of the Bri tish nation with horror at her name—if, we say, the imputation of a similar mind to the Professors of Popery, now in the nineteenth century, be evidence of' an untaught and unchristian spirit, how much purer is the taste of him ,who, in characterizing the English nation at this moment,selects for his materials the mad and disjointed history of Titus Oates I' Mr. O'Con nell has no part to perform like that of an idle declaimer; he has a real duty—a delicate hand : his motto ought to be " Discretion." Ile ought to have more judgment, if not better feelings, than to raise a cry against England generally ; England ! where Catholic Emancipation counts :whole legions of ardent and enlightened friends. There is no common sense in this tawdry and un mannerly invective. The Learned Gentleman is on a wrong tack ; and if he disregards the signal gun, we warn bin, that under his careless pilotage the ship will not make the harbour. [MORNING HERALD.] It is, we believe, above a twelvemonth ago, that we published a letter from a correspondent, suggesting a method for the more early delivery of General Post Letters throughout London.— That appeal having been unavailing, we are in duced to recur to the subject, as'one in which the inhabitants of the metropolis are much, as well as the revenue in some degree, interested. The suggestion of our correspondent simply was, that the several postmen should be carried to the points of their different deliveries, insead of being compelled, as they now are, to lose their time in walking ; and that, for this purpose, half a dozen or more, one or two horse cars, should be pro vided, which, taking the principal lines of the metropolis, should drop each postman with his bag as near as practicable to the commencement of his delivery. By this plan it is calculated that the average delivery of letters all over the town would be advanced from one to two hours, and in the farthest parts much more ; independent of getting rid of the manifest ab surdity, of a man, whose business con sists in walking, being rendered foot-weary before his labour commences. Only think of a man, who, in this exhausting %Tea t her, has been from an early hour engaged in sorting letters, having to trudge from Lombard street to Paddington, and there to begin a fresh day's labour ! It is naturally asked what good reason there can be for not adopting so plain and obvious a suggestion ? There is no good reason ; bit there are some very bad ones—the principal of which, we suspect, are, that there are a num ber of people interested in its not taking place ; and that as it does not originate with the factotum of the office himself, it follows, by post-office rea soning, that it is a plan which can be neither wise, practicable, nor convenient. It is said, and, we believe, very truly, that those who choose to pay for the accommodation can, as it is, have their letters delivered two or three hours earlier than their neighbours, and it is calculated that from 5,0001. to 10,000/. a year is actually paid by the public in this way. Whether the money so re ceived is retained by the postmen, or divided be tween them and their superiors, is a matter into which we have, of course, neither the means nor the right to pry ; but recollecting what took place with regard to foreign Journals during the last war, there may be a very harm less hankering after something of the same kind during the piping times of peace. But at any rate, the plan cannot be objected to on the score of expence, as less probably than the SUM which is thus raised from the pockets of that part of the public who pay for an early delivery, would, in fact, assure it to the whole town. But the truth is, that the expellee is already incurred. The very same expence (or nearly the same) in carts and horses, is incurred in collecting the letters from the receiving houses in the afternoon, as would suffice to carry the postmen to their destinations in the morning. It only requires that the form of the vehicle should be altered ; that the Post master-General and those about him, should con descend to take a hint, and that those who at present profit by fees, should be contented with salaries. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CHELMSFORD, JULY 19. Waiter :Nunn was indicted for stealing at Epping, on the 14th of April, a bay mare, the property of the Right Hon. Frederick William Earl of Bristol. Mr. JESSOPP conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Dow/AN° the defence. It appeared that the prisoner had formerly been a labourer In the employment of the Earl of Bristol. In the night of the 14th of April the mare in question was stolen from a yard be longing to his Lordship's house, near Bury St. Edmund's. Next morning the animal was found in the prisoner's posses sion at Epping, completely knocked up from fatigue, having travelled 58 miles. The prisoner's appearance, and the jaded state of the animal, excited the suspicion of the hostler at Ep ping-place Inn, and upon being questioned, the prisoner gave so unsatisfactory an account of himself that he was detained. Amongst the circumstances of suspicion against the prisoner were, that he gave a f a lse name, and represented that he had purchased the mare at the Bull-inn, at Barton Mills, which assertion turned out to be false. No answer being given to these facts, The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found the prisoner Guilty. Thomas Simmonds, who had been confined since last Sum mer Assizes by ill health, in consequence of his having taken poison, was also tried on a charge of stealing a horse, the property of a farmer in Norfolk, named Gunton. The case was clearly brought home to the prisoner, and be was found Guilty. Mr. KNox was for the prosecution, and Mr. MIREITOUSE for the defence, who was instructed to set up a plea of insanity, which however failed in proof. WORCESPER, TUESDAY, JULY 19. Nest PMT.'S COURT.—MAYWARD V. PITT• At the sitting of the Court this action for breach of promise of marriage, which stood over yesterday on the suggestion of Mr. Baron GARROW to afford opportunity for a compromise, was called ; but was furtherpostponed for a short time, in order to enable the parties to settle it. After two undefended causes had been tried, and the Court 'had awaited a few minutes, Mr. JERVIS rose, and said that he was glad te inform the Jury that this cause had come to a happy ending. The defend ant had ahewn by hi s co nduct on this occasion that he was a man of honour, and was still ready to fulfil his engagement.— The parties had agreed to be married within a month ; and the defendant, as a guarantee for the performance of the contract, cdrisented to a verdict—Damages, 1,0001. Mr. Baron GARnow said, that he could not forbear from con. gratulating the parties on the honourable termination of this suit ; and hoped it would not be thought unbecoming the situ ation which he held, if he expressed his best wishes for their happiness. It would give him pleasure if, among the circuit intelligence which he occasionally received, he should hear of their prosperity and comfort; nor could he doubt it, for the feelings which led to their determination must prove the basis of a lasting and a happy union. Mr. CAMPBELL said the wishes kindly expressed by his Lord ship for the happiness of the parties would tend greatly to ensure it.—The Jury then returned a verdict by consent for 1,000/. CRIMINAL COURT. Thomas Dillingham, a shoemaker, George Savage, a weaver, and William Skinner, a sawyer, - were indicted for a riot on the 4th of July instant, in the parish of Hagley. Mr. RYAN conducted the prosecution, which was instituted by Daniel Rogers, Esq. one of the Magistrates of the county. It appeared that the defendants Billingham and Savage pro posed to fight a regular pitched battle on the 4th of July last en Penmore common. This intention came to the knowledge of Mr. Biggs, a magistrate of the district, who gave them no. tice that if they persisted, he should take measures to prevent the breach of the peace which they contemplated. Notwith standing this warning, the men refused to abandon their de sign, but changed the scene of action to a marsh in the parish of Hagley. To this place Mr. Rogers repaired, and findingthe combatants stripped, a ring prepared, and a large mob of idle spectators, he forbade the proceeding, and ordered the people to disperse. They refused, however, and attempted in a tumul tuous manner to accomplish their purpose; when Mr. Rogers, observing Skinner taking an active part in the affray, seized him. Skinner resisted, and succeeded in escaping ; on which a loud shout of triumph proceeded from the crowd, who insulted the Magistrate ' and continued riotously insisting on the right to fight out the battle, till dispersed by the constables. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty; but they were recom mended to mercy by Mr. Biggs and Mr. Rogers; upon which Mr. Justice BuRROUGH only sentenced them to be severally imprisoned for a month, and to enter into their own recog nizances in 1001. to keep the peace for a year. Fanny Dallow and Elizabeth Dallow, two wretched looking women, were convicted on very clear evidence of stealing a gelding of Jaures Smith, from a field in the parish of Tenbury, and judgment of death was recorded against them. The whole of the criminal business ended at one o'clock to day, having been almost unprecedently light. In the city gaol there was not a single prisoner for trial. SALISBURY, TUESDAY, JULY 19. HORSE-STEALING. Rassage was indicted for stealing a mare, the pro perty of Abraham Hawkins.. The prisoner was brought by Habeas Corpus from Surrey jail. The prosecutor had turned out the mare to grass in a field, about a quarter of a mile from his house, at .Maidston, on the 26th of October, and from which place she was stolen the next morning. The prose cutor said he had seen the prisoner in a public-house, called the Fortune of War, on the 26th of October, which was a quarter of a mile from the place where the mare was turned out. On the 6th of November, a Mr. Killow, of Durring ton, said he purchased a mare from the prisoner for ten guineas at Berwick-hall Fair, near Salisbury. The prisoner then said his name was William Bartlett.—On the part of the prisoner, evidence was called to prove an alibi. They stated, that the prisoner was not at the Fortune of Warr public-house on the night stated by the prosecutor, but that he slept at Ro chester, and breakfasted there the following morning ; and that on the day that Killow said he purchased tilt.• horse, the prisoner was at Rochester, slept at the Crown and Thistle Inn 2 and on the following morning he accompanied the landlord to Gravesend. The case was left to the Jury upon this contradic tcry testimony, and the prisoner was acquitted. James Smith and Robert Jeferies were indicted for stealing a brown gelding, the property of James Bosberry, and Bassage was indicted as a receiver.. The horse in question was turned into the prosecutor's field at Warminster, Oxon, on the night of the 26th October, and was stolen the following morning.— Lynch White, a cow-dealer, of Vauxhall, said he purchased the horse from Bassage and a man named Stedman, for 181. Stedman, who was admitted as an evidence, said he saw the three prisoners on the 7th November, at Salisbury. Smith and Jeffries were mounted on horses, and they had the prosecutor's gelding with them ; they informed Bassage and Stedman where they had obtained the brown gelding, and that horse, as also the other two, were purchased by Bassage and Stedman ; and they afterwards sold the gelding to White. Bassage, in his defence, said the horse was sold as Stedman's property, and he had no interest whatever in the matter. The prisoners were all found Guilty. Levi Burton and Belcher Dick were indicted for having sto len a mare, the property of Humphrey Gifford, at North Cad bury, in the county of Somerset, on the first of July, and for having, on the same morning, in like manner, feloniously stolen a black mare pony, the property of James Parsons, at South Cadbury. Mr. Gifford proved that he had seen the mare safe ita his field on the night of the 30th of June, and missed it the folL lowing morning. James Folliott had seen Burton at fairs and markets fre quently. At a very early hour in the morning of the Ist July, lie saw the two prisoners riding by his house at East Scrogle, in this county. Burton rode the mare, and Dicks the black mare poney : his suspicions being excited by the circdmstance, lie pursued them on horseback, having got a friend to accompany him. They overtook the prisoners at nine-mile Water, on Salisbury Plain, where he found them concealed in some bushes —the horses were running loose. Witness called to a shepherd to catch them, and they were then taken to the George Inn, at Amesbury. When the prisoners were questioned, they denied all knowledge of the matter. Witness and his friend Killow found two bridles, a saddle, two horse-cloths, and two blue coats near the spot. He did not overtake the prisoners till between twelve and one o'clock in the day. The prisoner denied that he had passed by the witness' house within the last twelve months. Charles Killow corroborated the last witness's statement, and several witnesses also proved, that the prisoners had passed their houses in the manner described by Folliott, and one wit ness proved that the pony had been offered to him far sale. The Jury found Burton Guilty, and Dick Not Guilty. Judgment of death was recorded against Burton, and he was informed by the Learned Judge, that although in all pro bability his life would be spared, yet that he would be assuredly sent out of the country. Becher Dick was then a second time indicted for the steal ing of the black mare pony. This indictment was rendered necessary by a doubt which seemed to have been entertained, whether both the prisoners had joined in the felonious stealing of both the mare and the pony, or whether each had not been guilty of the separate felony.—The same evidence which had before been given was repeated, and the Jury found the pri soner Guilty. The Judge passed sentence of death on him, but gave him the same intimation as to the former prisoner. MANSLAUGHTER. Martha Franc-is was indicted for feloniously killing and slaying her husband, John Francis, on the 7th of May, in the parish of Trowbridge. The parties, it appeared, lived in the neighbourhood of Trowbridge. about which they were in the habit of hawking trifling articles for sale. On the evening of Saturday, May 7th, they went into several public-houses in Trowbridge. The man was observed to be intoxicated, and the woman was heard to abuse him, chiefly on account of his fami liarity with other women, in the most violent and disgusting terms. From words the transition to blows was almost imme diate. She knocked the unfortunate man down repeatedly, and when he was on the ground kicked him violently in the temples. She at length went away, leaving the deceased to get home as he could. On the following morning he was found lying speechless in the yard of a public-house, and died immediately after. A surgeon described the injuries which the deceased had received. His skull was fractured, and there was a great quantity of extravasated blood on the brain. These were the causes of the death of the deceased. The prisoner, in her defence, said, that when she left her husband, nothing had happened to him which could have oc casioned his death. She believed, and many persons had tbld her, that her husband came by his death in consequence of his having been suffered to roll about the streets all night, in a state of intoxication. The falls he got were the cause of his death. She protested that she had merely struck her husband with her open hand, and threw herself upon the mercy of the Court.—The Jury found her Guilty, and she was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. The ridiculous custom of ringing the hells of the churches in the provinces during a thunder storm, and which has so frequently had a fatal result, has lately caused a sad misfortune at Taurissa, in the department of -Carcassone. A storm having manifested itself on the 26th of June in this commune, nine children went to the church for th e p urpose o f pu t t i ng the bell in mo tion. They h a d h ar dl y b egun , when the thun der shook the belfry and killed the eldest, a boy of 16, and rendered insensible the remainder, who were also much wounded, but by prompt attention were recovered.—(French Paper.) GENERAL CANICIDE AT PARIS. Nothing is more simple or more reasonable than to establish severe regulations against th e immense number of prowling dogs which infes t , our capital, to the great danger of the citizens lives. It was then wise to order, in the firs t • place, as has been already done, that every do,g having a master should be muzzled or led in leash, on penalty that those who should neglec t ' that precaution should see them poisoned. i t was also useful to have dogs wandering about the streets taken up, but the execution of this nte*r sure has given rise to the most revolting abuse s . : The Police imagined th e id ea o f l e tti ng l oo se the streets of Paris a band of individuals charged". with the extermination of dogs.

But O le Police might have foreseen (if to foresee is their duty) that among people of that class e xcess° were to be feared ; and, in fact, in order to in • crease their profits, they have carried their imprt". deuce and audacity beyond all idea. They ja pudently seize dogs muzzled, under their Wa le ter's eye, and at the shop doors, sometimes 111 ;,, surprise and sometimes by main force, if no oth e than female protection was at hand.
