THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Krtructs from the Morning Papers, April 13, 1825. . , NHS TI M ES.I It is now asserted from various quarters, and in. positive terms, that there will not be any Con gress of the Allied Powers of, the Continent at Milan; and that the approaching residence of the Emperor Franci; in that capital, is to be part , of a proposed tour of imperial magnificence, en lightened curiosity, and active inspection into the state 'of his Italian dominions. Prince -Metter nich is to be his Majesty's coadjutor. or director throughout the expedition, and is to leave the krench, capital .on the 16th instant; ex,treme grief for the demise of his lady some weeks ago, being the cause, no doubt, of the Austrian Mini tter's protracted stay at Paris, to the exclusion I °tail political schemes and objects whatever. The Emperor's known zeal for the promotion of know ledge,and his liberal patronage of learned awn, will have opportunities of displaying themselves on this occasion, as they did so strikingly in a former instance ; and the progresS since made towards that happy consummation which his Majesty was . three fears ago represented to have prayed fdr as the fulfilment of his desires, and the acme of his paternal ambition, in regard to the qualities and merits of his Italian subjects, ,may be ex pected to furnish matter to the head and heart, and pen of his Prime Minister, for an edifying report on the principles of the Austrian Govern ment, as exemplified on the banks of the Po.— Respecting this problematical or abandoned Con gresS, we are disposed to look at such proceedings with no great depth of interest in their immediate fruits. Judging of the Holy Alliance by its declar ed principles, we might say that every movement guided by those principles would be a step towards the disappointment of their partisans—towards the dissolution of the Alliance itself, and to the triumph of the cause against which it. struggles. If; for example, a Congress were to end in a for mal confederacy for any specific purpose, hostile to English policy,and to public liberty, whatever incidents might arise from it—whatever minute • vicissitudes or - re-actions it might generate, sure we are, that the final result -would be, a lull and lasting victory to justice, and an utter over throw of the whole fabric of arbitrary power. That we do not wish for such a contest, is un questionable —we mean a contest to be decided hp the shedding of blood. But tyranny is an aggressive principal ; and any physical conflict growing out of its operations, is to be meditated as strictly of a defensive nature. From such a trial England need not shrink, on account of any subtile insinuations against her consistency and as little, from any - fear that she would fruitlessly invoke the predominant spirit of Europe and America to aid her. But the battle is going on with equal vigour, and in a more satisfactory form, • than if it were fought with the bayonet, and from the cannon's mouth. The human mind is work ing powerfully—the weapons are the reasoning faculties and the innate feelings of mankind. In stitutions or confederacies .framed in defiance of this great array of intelligence and morals, trill be dissipated like clouds before the morning sun ; and it is desirable that this bloodless though decisive warfare should yet endure for a season, because, with respect at least to a large portion of Europe, we are satifled that it requires no very long time to render useless an appeal to any tribunal more harsh or cogent than that of men's opinions and their voices. The phy, alcal force of England secures a standard, round which suffering nations may rally with better hope' than those of mere impunity. [NEW TIMES.] he German Papers state, that the news of bi e diminution proposed by Mr. Hnskisson in our 'lmport Duties has given great satisfaction throughout the North of Germany and the Ne therlands. The inhabitants of those countries, it seems, expect great ise..ntages to arise to their' •manufacturers from this change in our commercial 'policy ; but we doubt whether the result will be ,quite so favourable to them as they expect. Adam -Smith observes," that the greater part of the taxes upon foreign manufactures, which subsisted in his time, had been imposed for the purpose, not of re -venue, but of monopoly, or to give our own mer chants an advantage in the Horn. , 'Market. By re moving all prohibitions,"says he," and by subject ingall foreign manufactures to such moderate taxes, as it was found from experience afforded upon each article the greatest revenue to the public, our own workmen might still have a considerable advantage in the Home Market."—This principle, we apprehend, will apply generally to the com modities in which the Dutch or German manu facturers come into competition with the British. Oa every one of these i he foreigner will have to pay charges for freight, commission, port dues, insurance, &c., which, added to the moderate custom-duty still remaining, will, in all pro bability, leave him with no advantage over the British manufacturer ; for these charges will fully counterbalance tl e cheapness of labour abroad. 'l'tiere wilt then remzCn in favour of our native tiii.inifactures, the preference already given to them by habit—the settled course of trade—the superior skill and enterprise of our workmen and traders—and the daily improvements making amongst us in machinery. I t is true, that a rival thipi In supply would tend to prevent the price of manufacturing labour from rising rapidly iiiiiongst us. It would prevent those frequent riotous combinations among workmen to compel their mahters to raise their wages. — But this would ultimately he to the benefit of the labourers themselves, by keeping down the general scale of prices in the country, acid Consequently reducing the price of food as of all other articles. There may be some exceptions in! wich the foreign manufacturer maybe able icistiPply us at so low a rate as to bent the Eng lishman oat of the market ; but these must be DWI 14 number, and trivial iMportance i and their annihilation would be no national loss, because they manifestly divert capital from em ployrnent.a9much more. profitable.concerns. The quesituOssotifewhatdifferent as relating to articles which we do not, and cannot produce—such, for instance, as wine. It is said the French will no doubt allow us to take their wines, and we shall naturally consume the greater quantities of them, the lower is the rate of duty ; but then they will not take our manufactures in return ;' their ships therefore must sail back empty, and this double freight will operate as a heavy tax upon the com modity. %V-e conceive that such a course of trade could not long continue. Whatever foreign ar ticles we take must be paid for directly or indi rectly in our own commodities. France would probably soon perceive the advantage of a direct payment, and would therefore admit some of our commodities which she now excludes. Previously to that period the ships which brought wine from France-would hardly return in ballast, but would take British cargoes to some part of the Continent where they could be exchanged for goods suited to the French market ; and thus trade; though more complicated in its operations, ould pro duce at last the same result as if it had been carried by a direct intercourse on both sides.— Let it not be supposed that we mean to palliate the folly of French Statesmen in not promoting the demand for the staple produce of their own soil by a reciprocal relaxation of prohibitory laws. We think their policy extremely short sighted and we have little doubt, but that in at very few years they will be ready to follow the example set them by the British Ministry. [THE PUBLIC LienaEa.j We have received New York Papers to the 16th ult. Those of the Sth contain the inaugural speech of the new President, which was delivered on :he 4th, in the flail of the Senate. The style of this speech, in which Mr. Adams glances at all the !earring features of the history of the United States since the declaration of their independence, is, on the whole, panegyrical, occasionally mot& tory, and, towards the conclusion, prophetic, but every where modest ; and whilst it touches on do mestic affairs with the warmth of a Patriot, it never falls into the vice of trying to detract from the merits of other countries. The allusions to Foreign States are always decorous, and even conciliatory ; and, in one place, a friendly bias is evinced towards this country ; and the indirect manner of disclosing it, gives it, in our opinion, a higher zest. Mr. Adams, it is well known, be- longs to what is called the moderate Party in the Republic, and ►which, in the heat of party conten tion, used to be called the English Faction, as con tra-distinguished from the violent,orFrenchParty. It is in alluding to that period of feud and ran cour, that the New President strews a partiality for the land of his fore-fathers ; by which we mean an earnest desire merely to cultivate with it relations of friendship on honourable terms and reciprocal advantages. No enlightened man in this country craves more ; and as Mr. Adams congratulates his countrymen on the extinction of their national prejudices, we can safely say that an unjust feeling towards the Americans has no room at this time in the bosom of the English nation. On the contrary, very kindly feelings prevail universally; and we trust nothing will occur on either side to weaken them. We can answer for our own countrymen ; and we would venture to take the same respon sibility upon ourselves with respect to the people of the United States, provided their Presidential Chair was always filled with such men as the present and late. Presidents. The elevation of Mr. Adams clearly favours the love of pence, by which the Government and people of England are distinguished at present ; for, as long as the two nations remain on friendly terms, no other Power, or confederacy of Powers, will venture to disturb us in this policy, particularly as it is the effect of principle, and not of weakness. DIRITISH PRESS.] The arrival of every foreign mail confirms more strongly the opinions we have expressed as to the effect that would be produced on the Continent by the late speeches and measures of 'Mr. Huskis son for the general reduction of duties on the im portation of foreign commodities. The suspicions that were entertained against the liberal system pursued by his Majesty's Government are rapidly fading away before the continually accumu lating proofs of their sincerity. The important truth that all nations are directly interested in promoting each other's prosperity, is felt and understood by the whole commercial world ; and the merchants of other countries are beginning everywhere to be desirous especially of an un shackled intercourse with England, which, as containing the richest population, must be will ing and able to exchange the greatest amount of valuable goods. Some of the Continental Go vernments seem to be far behind their subjects in appreciating the benefits of free trade ; but supposing them to remain, as they appear to he at present, ignorant of the first principles of political economy, the influence of public opinion and the example of the States that follow the liberal system of England, will not allow them to per severe for many years in their absurd and bigoted views. DdeanWhile, we shall reap the advan tages of the improved and extended intercourse with the nations that may be disposed to act on principles of reciprocal liberality. A Hamburgh Mail arrived yesterday, bringing letters and pa pers from different parts of the North of Europe. At Hamburgh, the proposed alteration in our commercial system appears to have given great satisfaction. From Stockholm it is stated that negociations are supposed to be on foot with England, as to further mod:ications of the pro hibitory laws respecting British goods, and also colonial produce. At Brussels, and throughout Flanders and Holland, there is a perfect unani mity of opinion, that the reduction of the import duties will provit advantageous to the manufac tures of the Netherlands. :►MORNING POST.] Every successive arrival from the Continent brings additional proof of the extraordinary jrn. prP . SSIOG made by the proposed remission 0( duties on Continental merchandise.—From the. general satisfaction with which the adoption of a more liberal system of commercial inter course has been received, France must - iodetad be excepted. Her Ministers i - so far from proposing to meet the suggestions of Mr. llUskisson with a reciprocity of liberal feeling, pout and murmur at the extension of British commerce, to which, however adverse, they foresee inch measures must inevitably lead. It is perfectly unaccountr able that a people, acute and quick-sighted as the French are, should for a moment hesitate to par ticipate in the mutuality of advantage thus held out. That England would profit exclusively by the exchange she offers were impossible—seeing that her avowed object is the exchange of commodities, hitherto interdiCted by prohibitory and vexatious duties. Has France nothing which she can advantageously exchange against the pro ducts of Englanin—Were such the fact, she might hesitate—but with a soil, fertile in natural pro ductions, and with an . iiigenious population, pro ' ducing commodities eagerly desired in this coun i try, there cannot but be a mutual participation in [ the benefits of free commercial intercourse. [MORNING .11ERALD.) We are sorry to witness the tone of harshness towards the landed interest adopted by some of our cotemporaries in, discussing the question of the Corn Laws. , Tiltwe.can annihilate the Na tional Debt, the: Tithes, the Poor Rates, and other burdens of which the eland bears so large aiid dispeoportionate 41 share, it is both unreasonable and imPosSible to expect that the British farmer' can compete with the untaxed grower of Foreign Corn. Corn being in a state fit for . immediate consumption, must be considered Much more in the nature of a manufacture than of a raw material ; and upon that ground alone is as fit a subject for a protect ing duty as any of the former ; and therefore until the manufacturrs of woollen, muslin, silk, &c. are prepared to admit the woollens, muslins, silks, &c. of foreign countries duty free, it is quite out of the question that they should expect corn to be so. A great point will be gained if the landed interest are prevailed upon. to give up the system of averages, .which we hold to be the most objectionable feature of the Corn Laws. But we do not know why those who have partaken in no small degree of the difficulties and depression of the times should be treated with acrimony, and pre-condemned as a public nuisance, and an ob struction to national Prosperity. They . are one link (and that a most important one) io the con necting chain of society ; and are entitled rather to favour and partiality, if any should be shown, than to bitterness and hostility. 'there is one point connected witli corn which., we apprehend, affects the consumers, especially those in the me tropolis, more than =any thing arising out of the Corn Laws ; and that is, the disproportion which always exists between the price of bread and that of corn. This, we believe, is seldom less than from 15 to 25 per cent. upon an average; indeed there is generally the former difference (15 per cent.) between the price of the same description of bread at the shops ,of what are called cheap and full priced bikers. This the Corn Laws have nothing to do with; nor would their repeal alleviate it. But we are not sorry to see that some new Companies have started up, which propose to grapple with .the evil, and which will perhaps have the effect of bringing the sellers of flour to their senses. At the same time we are surprised that those of our contemporaries who can reason so learnedly. upon time - theory of the subject, should overlook a practical grievance so ob noxious as the one we allude to. [MORNING CISRONICIA.3 The rumour of an intended Congress at Milan, although discredited by - some of the leading ope rators, and directly contradicted by an eminent Capitalist, had an effect yesterday upon the Eng lish Funds. Consols, for money, were done at and for the next account at 93r,-i, which were the closing prices. In the Foreign Market, a gloom hung over all the Securities, but those of South America were particularly heavy. Colom bian Bonds, which on Monday fell to 89f, yes terday closed at 89f, and Mexican Bonds at 78i. The announcement that a new Loan was about to he negociated for Peru might have had some ef fect towards this depression. Greek Scrip was about per cent. better, for it was said positively that advices had been received from Paris that Prince Metternich and the Dauphin had spoken of the necessity of doing something for Greece. This information probably rests upon some chit chat of the Parisian Salons—but as the Dauphin is daily becoming more liberal, credit is readily attached to any rumour which places him in a fa vourable light. Danish Scrip remained nearly the same as on Monday. Spanish Bonds closed at 231 ; f.There was not so much done in Shares yesterday, _and the prices were very heavy. As a proof of this, it may be mentioned, that the Shares of the Honduras Indigo Com pany, which, a month ago, were done at 8 to 10 premium in anticipation, came out yesterday at only 2 to 24 premium, and at the close of the Market- were as low as one to two.— Considering that this undertaking promises so well, the lowness of the premium shows clearly that the rage for •shares is rapidly subsiding. A St. Domingo Company, for mining and trading, is advertised, under a grant from the President, who seems anxious to cultivate a good under standing with the English nation, by opening to them such sources of enterprize us he possesses. This is the only new scheme announced yester day. It is understood that the Lord Chancellor will really bring his Bill for the regulation of Joint Stock Companies into the Lords imme diately after the recess. The affair seems to have Puzzled the sagacity of the Chancellor, for it is said that the draft of the Bill, like the prospectus of a new publication, has been sent round to se veral of the Peers on both sides of the House their perusal and opinion. for There has been considerable mortality amongit the Yeoman of the King's Guard lately. Four are stated to have died within the last month. The last who died was Mr. Skelton, aged upwards of 76 • he died on Sunday . He had also been many years one of the House of Commons' Messengers. His last illness was brought on by an accident that happened to bins a month ago, in falling down the gallery stair? of the House of Commons, by which fall he broke four ribs, and otherwise much injured himself. MOCK COUNTESS. A female impostor, known at various police offices in the Metropolis under the different names of Foss, Forster, Evans, Jones, Williams, &c. has been gulling the good people of Margate under the imposing title of Countess St. Julian, the English widow of a French Nobleman of that name. Early in the month of February she arrived at Mar gate, en suite, from London, and took furnished apartments at three guineas per week, for herself, fills de cliambre, and groom. She no sooner entered in possession, than she commenced her operations, by going round to all the principal shopkeepers and tradesmen, making tenders of her custom in the most encou raging terms, and observing en passaht, that in consequence of a recent domestic affliction, she had been induced to seek a re treat from the Capital, even at that inclement season, and her orders for the present would necessarily he more limited than when summer came. The appearance of the lady being quite in keeping with her professions, together with her having attained the maturity of at least three score, threw the .Mar gate tblks completely off their guard, and besides, she came there in a. handsome travelling carriage, and kept her servants and so forth. She did not fail to profit by the favourable im pression she had made on the public mind. The best tailors, milliners, shoemakers, hatters, and even wig -makers, (for the Countess wears one) were put in requisition ; the wine-mer chants, bakers, butchers, pastry-cooks, and fruiterers, re ceived liberal orders, to furnish forth her table, and, that no comfort should be wanting to La Condesse (the best friend to a tradesman that ever entered Margate), the coachmaker supplied a very handsome gig, which was handsomely horsed' by another, and thus, with the appropriate apanage of a smartly cockaded : groom, the establishment became at once complete and elegant. It having been originally stipulated that her payments were made monthly, of course no demand was made until the expiration of that time, and the bills, according as they were sent in, were regularly taken to " my Lady" for revision, as she made it an invariable rule never to sub-. mit her accounts to any other auditor. This investigation., however, was rather too tedious to meet the.approval of the cre ditors, and they began to get clamorous ; a day was then named, when all would be settled, and until then, they were compelled to be patient; but on the arrival of that day, which was in the beginning of April, what was their mortification and dismay, when they found the lady had taken French leave, carrying with her all the moveables of Margate. It was ascertained that she had made for London, and thither she was hotly pursued by several enraged creditors. Enquiry was made at every place of fashionable resort, but at none of them was the name of the Countess St. Julian remembered, or ever heard of; at length, in place of conning over the French Red Book, the English Black Book, namely, the- Areregate Calendar, was consulted, and the result proved, that the Countess St. Julian was no other than the above-named celebrated Mrs. Foss, or Forster.— She has been twice detected in the same sort of impositions at Hatton-garden police-office; thrice at Marlborough-street, and we know not how many more she has escaped. For the sake of those who have not the honour of her acquaintance, it may be well to describe her :—She is, as we said, about sixty years old, aquiline nose, lively black eyes, wears either a wig or false curls, lays on thickly, as her complexion is somewhat faded, dresses (when - she can) in the extreme of fashion, and is, gene rally speaking, quite a respectable looking lady of the old school. A reward has been offered for her apprehension, as a great part of the articles above alluded to have been fraudulently obtained. —To complete her history, it should be mentioned, that the groom and maid are her son and daughter, and of course par ticipate in the spoil. HYDROPIIOI3IA. JOHN WETHERLY, a boy about 13 years of age, the son of a widow, residing in Duke -street, Lisson-grove, died of this dreadful disease yesterday. We have made in. quiry into the particulars of the case; and the following may be depended on ;--Some time in the month of February, the deceased, in company with two other boys, was passing along the'Ldgeware-road, when a dog, apparently without a master, ran towards them, and without any provocation bit Wetherly in the cheek close to the mouth, then attacked another of the boys, and tore his nose in a shocking manner, and had just leaped upon the other boy, and was tearing at the collar of his coat, when he was driven off by the people who had collected on hear ing the screams of the boys. The dog immediately ran off, and nothing further was heard of it. Unfortuaately, the deceased did not apply to any surgeon till next morning, when the bite was only partially cut out. The wound must have been se vere, as the face was much disfigured by the scar. No parti cular anxiety was evinced by the boy or his relatives till Satur day last, when the symptoms were such that recourse was had to medical assistance, and from that time till his death, Sir Astley Cooper, Dr. Hooper, Dr. Lardner, and some of the first medical practitioners, have attended for the purpose of ob serving -the symptomseand affording relief to the unfortunate youth. The principal symptoms were violent peke in the back part of the head, and spasmodic affections, approaching to shud dering, when water was presented to him. There was a con siderable flow of saliva ; and as the patient had great reluctance to swallowing any liquid, he kept rolling it about in his mouth, and at length spit it out in a half frothy state. When water was presented to him (which the attendants gave him commonly in a tea-pot) he had great reluctance to it till the vessel reachedhis mouth, and would repeatedly tell them to take great cute as they brought it forward, but when it reached his mouth he thank the water apparently with ease. He swallowed his food as usual, and seemed to find relief from sucking oranges. The whole system seemed to be in a state of the most morbid sensibility. When he heard water pouring from one vessel to another, he was affected with spasms. The least current of air from a door, or when a person breathed strongly on him, gave him the greatest annoyance, and he repeatedly complained of persons whistling in the street. In this state Mr. Barker, of Berkeley street, who attended him as rergeon, administered to him Goulard's Extract, a remedy which had been proposed lately, and which was said in one of the numbers of The Lancet to hive been used on one occasion with success. He was like. wise bled profusely, but all was without effect. He finality lost the power of swallowing, spoke at times incoherently, the pain in the back part of his head continued, and on Alonday evening the pupils of his eyes became dilated, accompanied with squinting. He continued in this state till his death, which took place yesterday about noon. During his illness lie occasionally spoke of the dog, but did not seem conscious that his disease was the effect or the bite. The other boy is at present quite well,but his friends, as may be sup posed, are in the greatest anxiety about him. It is to be hoped that this melancholy occurrence will draw the attention of the public to the subject. Certainly some means should be devised to protect children and others against the straggling dogs that are to be seen in almost every street. Last summer scarcely a day passed but complainti were made at the hlarylebone-office against the grievance. All the Magistrates could do was to hold the parties to bail to answer for the consequences; but fre quently the owner of the dog could not be found; and besides, what money could make any recompense for the indescribable anxiety which the unfortunate individual must endure for many days after the accident has taken place ? One poor olel man who had been bit by a dog, s tated to the sitting Magirtrate, th a t h e had not slept for nine nights afterwards. WANT OF EXERCISE AND ENIPLOTIIENT.—Dr. STrYENnAm had a patient, whom he had long prescribed- for, 1 on account of one of these complaints. But his prescriptions were insufficient ; and, at last, Sydenram acknowledged that his skill was exhausted —that he could not pretend to advise him any farther ; " but," said he, " there is a Dr. Robinson, who lives at In v ern es s , w .wo h rna o s I w s olhtla m aite u trip c it l fla t tiiins n eg i nn o t r oow e norae skilled a n i n o f co fo ru ri plaints of this kind than I a d m es i n y a o ti ti on h ; ad b better consult him. 1 will provide you with a letter of introduction, and I hope you will return much better." tune, and soon took the road ; hut travelling was a very dif ferentaeßoa b r journey r i i ns e d o: o dr n sea, t n li y e Doctor. and road back r to LOn e d n o ti n e , rl"a a ver g y , en o ra f ,, t ht a i 'lt : h i n e :e :l :ns v-c,ehht town.v London: ; ' ,,t 'r° , bnv i d ß:in a iae a i iattr :t j a l t hri;lh.:lli vengeance re n : r ngpnt e ' a r y lv g nateoe e hocakfm o erne o f nc n eotcesl hsofi Inverness o a t el h the n latter, a,‘o many v m i 1 ee, abused for n 0 t h i him ng . for sawn hn edn- Ilisaf f teerr y ai w l, a i s s a your .title li e i a d l t )a h t abated_` e v er been in lif e ; but no thanks to sox journey, :: a Y m e , s, „ S y i o r u , ihtaisvebesttitlelrr.be ‘ tte e r ll i" n — o ‘ 7l4 'B " el ici r !
