11E LONDON J OURN A I.S. • DAILY Extractsfrorn the Morning Papers, Jane 18, 189,5 [THE TIMES.] A folio volume, containing 131 pagesfhas been presented to the House of Commons, and printed, under - the title of " Papers relating to East " India affairs—viz. Discussions with the Bur . ,t`inese Government." We seized the book with avidity, anxious to instruct ourselves concerning the origin, progress, and character of this vexa- tions - Burmese war; and no less sincerely anxious to find among the papers, wherewithal to justify tn'rd'Arptierst's Government from the charges of utter incapacity brought against it by everyEng sh subject in Judia, and ringing in the ears of Vinisters from every letter-bag; since, to find that there was neither injustice nor incompetence iir his Lordship's counsels would be some, though not.cornplete, consolation, under the lives which have been sacrificed, and the dangers and dis graces which we have suffered. We have yawned our way through this mass of official industry, hut are unable to find one syllable in the whole series of correspondence which throws even a glimmering of light upon the subject of the pre sent Burmese war. Dispatches are raked_ up from the year 1812, and continued with intervals of two or three years between, some of them to September, 1824 . ; but with a curious, 'though perhaps intelligible caution, as the pe riod advances, the correspondence languishes, not a word being disclosed of what took place between the parties subsequent to the year 1820, until page 122, when we are furnished with three meagre extracts of letters from the Bengal. Go vernrnent, to the Court of Directors, dated May, June, and July, 1823, relating merely to dis putes of the barbarians beyond the British fron tier with each other, which ended in the esta blishment of the Burmese power in Assam.— Next we have a dispatch of September, 1823, and headed " Judges and Magistrates," but no thing relative to the war. The next and final dispatch is to the Court of Directors,September, 1824—a whole year afterwards; but not a word about the war, although 'the said war was then actually raging. It appears, indeed, that for twelve years past occasional demands had been made by the Burmese Authorities, that certain . rebels, who had now and then found shelter on our territory, should be given up to them. And, in 'a postscript. of a dozen lines at the end, all incidental reference is made to some of our ele phant-hunters having been carried off, and to discussions pending between the two Govern- . ments with regard to the female island of Sba poree.: but a book of Irish evidence might as well have been passed off upon the country as authority touching the Burmese war. . • [NEW TIMES:I " He, that shall live this day, and see cld age, " Will yearly on the vigil feast his friends. Thus it was in the time of brave King Harry, and thus it is now. Only the-25th of October has given place to the 18th of June ; and Water loo has-eclipsed Agincourt. A Waterloo man is always looked upou with respect, but, on the Anniversary of that famous fight, he seems some thing beyond a common mortal. Ten years have elapsed, and yet the event is fresh and green in our memory. We remember the breathless anxiety which preceded the great struggle— we remember the foolish anticipations of de feat to the B►itish arms—Wellington could not stand - against Napoleon ! Quatre Bras had sounded the knell of the' British Arthy ! In three months the Allies would all be on their knees,. Sying for peace !—But a few short days.dissipated these illusions and then .butst forth the sound of exultation and joy from all the friends of real liberty, and from all who sin cerely wished a long and honourable peace. Me now gather the rich fruits of that bloody harvest. Hnd it not been for the brave men who on that day, with true English hearts, stood for England against the flower-of the French soldiery, where would now have been the wealth, and comfort, and prosperity, which we see in every part, of this happy island. The liberal principals of corn- MOO, nOw so happily cultivated, could never have expanded under the iron grasp of Buona. parte ; there would have been no reduction-Of taxes ; no meliorations of cur legal code.; no railways, docks, or tunnels ; no splendid improve- Ments of our streets and edifices; no great public Companies, or grand commercial undertakings ! While we look round on all these things, and, with gratitude to the Almighty Creator, acknow ledge the blessings we enjoy, let us never forget thit we owe their security, nay their very exist. ence, to the heroes of the 18th of June ! [BRITISH PRESS.] We have not been:unaware of the great anxiety expressed during the last two or three days- with regard to the contract for the . new Spanish Loan.

[TIIE PUBLIC LEDGER.] New York Papers have reached us to the 25th nit. 'They announce the arrival at that port of Colombian frigate, Venezuela, with an Envoy on board, the bearer of a Commerckl Treaty betwen the two States. He was also intrusted with an arrangement for the suppression of the Slave Trade; and Colombia has shewn an alacrity in trying to put down this nefarious traffic, which it would be well for the " Most Christian" Government of France to imitate. The frigate was received with the customary honours ; anti it is not .one of the least interesting phenomena of our time, to see a flag of yes terday's date, and belonging to a country, which, thirty years since, was as little known as the interior of Africa, treated with as -much re spect as that of the most powerful nations. This respect too is a tribute to her courage, firmness, and prudence ; and the time is net distant, when -those Powers that now pretend to have the 'greatest scruples about recognizing her independ— ence, will Court her friendship with an eager ness commensurate with their present coyness. We hope, however, that the Colombian Go vernment will levy a fine upon them for their present squeamishness, in the form of heavierl duties on their trade. We should like to see a beginning made with the commerce of France ; 1 and, though her Government might bluster at first, the result would be highly honourable to Colombia. If the new Prussian Trading Com pany, of whose prosperity so flaming a description is given in the German Papers which arrived yesterday, were also made to pay forfeit, it would be only a just retaliation on the Court of Berlin, for its offensive or rather stupid policy. The latter would wince under the inflictien, but not venture to complain ; and, sooner than forego a lucrative trade, it would probably condescend to negociate a treaty of commerce and friendship with the Cabinet of Bogota. It is an inexpres sible satisfaction to us to know that Colombia might, with,perfect safety, place herself in this po. sition towards such Powers as refuse to re-1 cognize her independence. This is the finest illustration of the influence of tutelary insti tutions upon the condition of nations! Ilad the New States yielded to the menaces of France ! and Spain, and accepted rulers of their appoint. ment, as was at first suggested, how different I would their situation he to what it is. The pre. tended Constitutional Sovereigns would be des-1 pots at heart, and the mere Satraps of the Powers to whom they owed their appointment.' How much better are things as they are ! and I we trust that the New States will never forget 1 the principles to which they owe their sudden rise and brilliant prospects ; for if they do, their descent will be as rapid, and their future as i overclouded. IMORNING T.D.:f The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in .his ob servations on the 'contemplated repairs of Buck ingham (louse, observed, with much naivete, that he had long abandoned the idea of,pleasing every body :—thus, like the man in the play, giving his opinion that there is " much philosophy in Esop's fables." The wonder is that he should ever have entertained such an idea. If he means that the objections to the new Courts at Westminster were merely captious, and only an illustration of the impossibility of " pleasing every body," he gave no proof of his usual candour and discernment—the wonder is, that he could have hoped, by these con ceited vulgarisms in architecture, to please any body. It is probable that in the new structure he will be more circumspect, so far as guarding against the caprices ‘vhich English architects are too apt—as appears in the recent designs and' works of more than one of them—to mistake for invention, or as they, no doubt, call it, genius.l in one respect, and that very important one,l the Right Honourable Gentleman deserves cre dit for the consideration he has shown • for the public of the metropolis—viz, his unwillingness to encroach by a new structure upon the Hparks.. The value—the necessity of preserving , theSe parks entire and unimpeded to the dense ~population of this vast city is fully express 'ed in one of the striking phrases of the late Mr. Windham. He Called the parks " the lungs of the Metropolis," and succeeded in Carl vincing Parliament that they should be preserved entire even M their ornaments. .There can be no question that a new palace would cover a great 4eal of ground, even for the personal residence of the. King.. The. habits . of .the .country require something of domestic seclusion—a certain sphere of privacy and freedom—in the residence of the Sovereign, as well as'-of others. No one who thinks reasonably of the matter can desire or ex pect to see in Loudon any thing-like the spaniel familiarity, and hollow,syo o phanoy of --a ragg e d populace of boys and girls dancing before the Windows of the Tuileries, Under the eye of the Sovereign and the police. [MORNING- POST.] In the House of Lords last night the 'Marquis of Hastings introduced the Bill of which he had given notice. Its object is to declare that the limitation of interest enacted by the, 63d clause "of the 13th 'of. George 111., on money let - in India, does.not exteud. to British subjects-domi ciliated in the territories of. Foreign Princes. The necessity of this explanation arose, accord ing- to the Noble Marquis, from the new inter pretation given . tothe cldt4e by the Law Officers .of 'direct contradiction to the .t ons tr ac tiam .and- pratice of all the - I ndian Governments for. half a century. For they contended that the clause embraced British subjects residing in foreign States, which in itself was an absurdity, as there were no means of punish ing them, even if tried for the alleged offence.—ln the Commons the Judges Salaries' Bill was read a third time and passed, after an unsuccessful effort to reduce the Salary of the Puisne Judges from the sum proposed (5,5000 to 5,0001. The numbers oil the division were 74 to 45.—0 n the question that the House resolve itself into a .Committee of Supply, Mr. Abercromby brought the services of a. Gallant Officer, 'Sir Robert Wilson, before them, not, he said, to reflect in any degree upon the conduct of the Commander in Chief, nor to raise any question as to the prerogative of the Crown, nor to call_ in question the vote which any Honourable Member of that House had felt it his duty to give upon the subject, and still less to point out a becoming course to any individual, but to give the House an opportunity for expressing its feelings in the wish to see an oblivion of the past, and act of gracious bene volence in the restoration of his Gallant Friend to his former rank. The subject having been once introduced, many Members who had vot ed against the Gallant Officer's motion for in quiry at the time, expressed themselves anxious for his restoration, and the general feeling seemed to be, that his errors should be forgiven and his services remembered. Nothing certainly could be more reprehensible, or of more mischiev ous tendency, than the conduct of the gallant Knight which so properly led to his dismissal from the army ; but his subsequent good and becoming behaviour has in some degree atoned for his offence ; and he has altogether so much benefited by the salutary lesson thus so for cibly read to him, that Royal clemency may now with safety and propriety be extended to him. His errors have been great, but his atonement has been perhaps commensurate.— The Douse having then , gone into a Com mittee of Supply, Mr. Huskisson explained the alterations which he had made since the Recess in the resolutions which he had pro posed to Parliament before Easter, for the re duction and abolition of prohibitory or import duties on articles of foreig n gro th or mann factures. These alteration s cons st chiefly in making most of the reductions p rog essive instead of immediate. He also announced some new ones. The duty bit books (riot for sale) printed twenty years ago is to be reduced from 61. 10s. to 11.; that on books printed since that period from 71. to 51. The duty on 50/. per cent. on all foreign vessels broken up in this country is to be given up altogether,and that upon pepper is to be reduced from 2s. 6d. per pound to one shilling. The Resolutions thus altered were agreed to, and the Report will be received this day. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Lord Chancellor is not, we should sup pose, the only incorrupt Judge in England ; yet we know not how it happens that he is the only Judge to whose integrity testimony is ever borne. ‘Vo never even heard it surmised that any of the 3'udges were chargeable with bribery; b t no one thinks of enhancing the merits to whi r. se veral•of them May lay claim, of great learn lig, indefatigable industry, &c. by th e ob serva ion that their purity is not to be questioned. Yet nothing is so comm o n a s th e compli men ti ng the Lord Chancellor on his purity, as if there were something about his Lordship . which made it particularly meritorious in him to remain honest. Is it because his Lordship is generally . understood to have a very just sense of the va lue of money, that it is supposed it is mere diffi cult for him to entertain just notions with respect to the mode of acquiring it, than for other persons less alive to its excellencies ?—lt has always struck us that it is peculiarly ill-judged of the friends of his Lord Ship to throw his incorrupti bility perpetually in our teeth. Whenever he is charged with throwing obstructions in the, way of a reform of the Court of .Chancery, with dilatoriness hi judging, with jumping from one cause to another, so as to hear a hundred for one that he dicides, with his endless doubts, the parents in turn of endless doubts,—we never fail to hear the answer,—it is very true he does not dispatch causes after the manner of the Vice-Chancellor . o r Sir Williath Grant ; his anxiety not to trench on the rights of any living creature may be said to be carried sometimes to an extreme; but then in all the higher qualities, purity, incorruptibility, and so forth, calumny never even dared to breathe on him.—lt, seems to . be thought wonderful by those panegyrists, that a man, whose , whole time would be occupied in counting his receipts, if he were paid in the current coin of the realm, should be able to restrain himself from adding thirty thousand a-year by fraud to the thirty thou sand he comes honestly by. Being by far the best paid of all the Judges, the'natutal pre-, sumption is that it would be easier for him to remain honest than for any of his brethren, — We do not generally timid Dukes or Marquisses brought before a Police Court for swindling, or picking - pockets. Even a cat loses her felonious properties schen' alloWed the uncontrouled range of a well,furnished ladder. The way, however, in which this incorruptibility has been so inces. sandy trumpet e d forth,. hailid` pi?ople to look a little into the doingsof the Lord Chancellor, just to see whether even with all his immense receipts, he is so very disinterested as he is reported to be. Mr. Miller helped a good deal to turn attention into this quarter, by his significant detail of the sinecures he had contrived to heap on a very near, 'and, we presume, dear relation. Still, though he might have bestowed the sine cures on others, it does not follow that, in not bestowing them on others, but on his own rela tion, he was taking that to which he was not en titled. But if Mr. Miller found so much, others might find more, and so people have begun to'set themselves seriously to work, to examine the Lord ChanCellor's titles to immaculate purity. C. E.

EDITOR—I was so fortunate as to be at St. James's Church last Sunday, to hear the Rev. EDWARD SMEDLEY draw a just and affect ing description of the much lamented Doctor ANDREWES, Dean of Canterbury, the late Rec tor of that parish ; and I hope the Rev. Preacher will be prevailed upon to publish his Sermon, not only in consideration of what is due to the memory of that great and good man, but like wise as furnishing a model of what a Clergyman of the Establishment ought to be. I cannot conclude without remarking, that I have seldom known the service so satisfactorily performed, in perfect obedience to the rubric, without ad dition or omission, as in that Church, during the time of the late Incumbent. June 16, 1825. QUARANTINE LAWS. W. T. Lord KING, in the House of Lords, on Thurs day, presented the following Petition from Dr. M‘LEAN, relative to the QUARANTINE LAWS : " To the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. —The humble Petition of CHARLES MACLEAN, M. D. " Sheweth—That Quarantine Laws, purporting to be for the preservation of the public health, are founded on the belief that epidemic diseases depend upon a specific contagion ; that their object is to prevent the introduction and spreading of epi demic maladies generally, but more especially of plague and yellow fever; that the means which they employ are bills of health; quarantine and lazarettos; and in general, every mode of separation, seclusion, and restriction. That this systeth.originated in ignorant and credulous times ; has been continued without proof ; and rests at this moment. upon no otiaer foundation than the assumptions of th e 18th an d 17th. Onturies. That, with respect to yellow fever, the doctrine of contagion has, by the experienced part of the medical faculty, been for some time abandoned ; and that even those who still persist in maintaining it, ,admit that precautions against this disease are unnecessary in England. That your petitioner trusts he shall be able, even within the compass of a petition, to adduce to your Lord ships sufficiently strong grounds for concl ding .that plague cannot be propagated by contact; that its ruse is incapable of being imported ; that that cause cannot, t erefore, be a spe cific contagion ; and consequently that Quarantine Laws are without foundation or object. That in a plague hospital of Constantinople, in 1815, the result of a free intercourse, upon a large scale, between the sick and persons in health, was proof that the disease is incapable of being . propagated by contact, arithmetically as nineteen to one ; nd that other unequivocal instances of -a similar result a re wit in the know ledge of your petitioner. That durin g the 140 e ars i n w hi c h l i the commerce with Turkey was carried on by the Levant Company, previous to . the establishment of quarantine in this country, as well as during the 104 years in which qua rantine has existed—in all 244 years—no disease has been occasioned in consequence of importation, by ships, or goods, or persons, into England. That, with respect to the last great epidemic of London, in 1665, which happened in the interval (159 years ago), its phenomena have distinctly as signed to it a place amongst epidemics, excluding it of course from, the number of contagious diseases ; the laws of these two classes of maladies being not only dissimilar, but opposed. That, contagions not being limited to soil,. it would have been • quite impossible, did the supposed virus exist, that it should not have been in a constant course of importation, in the twenty thousand vessels, that must have arrived in British ports, during the first of the above periods, from countries liable to epidemic diseases; and in the thirty thousand vessels, that must have arrived, during the last of these periodS, could communities survive such ordeals. That your Petitioner humbly submits, that the entire absence of sickness among the crews and pas sengers of fifty thousand vessels in 244 years, and among the expurgators of goods, in thirty thousand veels, in 104 years in England, is proof es that pestilential contagion had not been shipped in any one of these vessels (for if it had been shipped it could not have invariably become extinct on the passage, nor could quarantine have prevented its affecting the persons on board) ; and that it had not been shipped in any of the numer ous cargoes which .were imported during that long period of time, from countries, in some of which epidemic diseases were almost constantly preVailing, is proof that it does not any where exist. That your Lordships will readily per ceive that a specific contagion could not continue to prevail for a long series of years, in any one country, without its being conveyed to every other with which that country had inter course, whether by , sea or land. That the non-importation of the cause of plague into England by sea, and into Persia by land, at those times in which it has been raging in Turkey, is therefore a most unequivocal proof that that cause is not a spe cific contagion. That, in principle; Quarantine Laws very much resemble our ancient laws against witchcraft, recently repealed, with this material diff'erence in Practice; that, whilst they are infinitely more:destructive, they have not, however, fallen into disuse. That, as your petitioner has proved at large, in works which arc befOre the public,these laws are,in times of pestilence, a powerful additional cause of sickness and mortality, as well as, ' , in other respects, highly injurious to many of die best interests of communities. That they impede science ; produce immo rality ; obstruct travelling; restrict commerce, navigation, and manufactures; occasion the failure of expeditions and the de struction of armaments; are injurious to the general consumer and the public revenue.; and are. capable of being, as they have sometimes been on the Continent of Europe, rendered eminently subservient to the purpose of despotism. That the question at issue is a question of fact, fit to be decided by ap propriate evidence ; not a question of physic, fit to be decided by professional authority, opinion, or vote; that of the validity of the doctrine of pestilential contagion, from its having so long existed as a mere matter of faith in the Medical Schools, physicians are necessarily less competent judges than other per sons of liberal education : and that, in all cases, induction of experiment ought to supersede assumption. That, upon con viction consequent on direct personal examination, notwith standing the previous inveterary of prejudices in the Peninsula, the Spanish Cortes did, in 1822, reject, contrary to the unani mous advice of all the medical members of their own body, ,be ing nine in number, as well as to the known opinion of an immense majority of all the physicians of Spain, the third project of a code of sanitary laws ' which had, within a short period, been assiduously p re p are d by successive Committees of Public health. That, in a Work published last year (1824), entitled ' Evils of Quarantine Laws,' &c. your Petitioner presumes to have refuted all the objections against the doctrine of non contagion, which have been adduced_ by the advocates of the sanitary laws, and more especially in Reports of the College of Physicians, and in the evidence of medical witnesses examined by Committees of Parliament, in the course of the existing con troversy ; and that lie now most respectfully solicits the justice from your Lordships, that his facts and argumentS may be duly balanced against their assertions and assumptions. That, if it should become manifesne upon thus fairly weighing the evidence on both sides, that pestilential contagion does not exist ; that Quarantine Laws are consequently without either foundation or object; that they are besides productive of infi- nite mischief; that they are eminently anti-commercial, anti social, and anti-christian ; and that, whilst the evils appre hended from their abolition are,pueely imaginary, those which. would result froin their continuance are real and serious.; all. the best interests of mankind would imperiously demand the. earliest possible abolition of restrictions which are a source only of evil.. That if, on the contrary, it should. become manic fest that pestilential contagion does exist, and that sanitary laws have both aioundation and an object, consistency, as well as public safety, would imperiously require, that, instead of being modified or abolished, quarantine restrictions should be augmented in duration, increased in rigour, and universally ex.:. tended. That, as to ignorance respecting epidemic diseaseS„ perpetuated by the, fundamental error of the belief in pestilen tial contagion, may, on a reasonable coinputation, be attributed the deaths of several millions of human beings annually; throughout the world, and the misery of many millions more, the earnestness, perhaps the importunity, with which your Pe titioner presumes to press his conclusions upon the attention of your Lordships, will, he is persuaded, be readily pardoned.— That your petitioner, having thus respectfully offered to your Lordships an epitome of principles obviously of extraordinary importance anti universal applicability, entertains the most perfect reliance that your Lordship s , in your wisdom, will adopt efficient measures, in order speedily to arrive at a deci sion respecting their validity, which may form a correct ground for Legislation, and prove permanently satisfactory to your Lordship's minds. " And your Petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever pray." .CARL.SRULIE 7 JUNt perSonS who em ploy themselves in washing the sand of the Rhine for gold, obtained, in the year 1824, the value of `4,300 crowns 46 gmins of pure gold ; for which , at the rate: of fi ve florins per crown, w hich .Government pays them they have received 1 1,500 behia 4,430 florins more than in 1823.
