YHE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Pc.pers,Oct. 8, 1325. Cnamsir encss.] h is strongly rumoured that the leading Euro pean Powers will interpose their aid to give a settled form to the Government of Greece.— I TIIQTR is no doubt but their services, if rendered in the spirit of integrity and good faith, may be eminently useful ; but if they manifest anything of an opposing temper, the evil arising from the present position of affairs in that quarter, instead of being mitigated, will be infinitely increased. Looking at- the elements of the power at this time in the possession of the two parties, the Christian States of Greece have greatly the ad vrrntage over the degenerate territories of the Turks. The regeneration of the former might be easily enough accomplished were the Christian Powers sincerely disposed to effect it. With royalty as the basis of her government, Greece — without any thing to be feared from the example —might combine with it a Senate of Nobles and a Senate of the Representatives of the people ; without the latter she would have no security for her freedom—without the former she would have no supporters of a lawful monarchy.— Were it known that such was to be the form of their Constitution, the Greeks might hope success to persuade the surrounding So vereigns to give their support to her cause. —These Sovereigns have grown wary, and will not be forward to admit a new Government among them, till they have first satisfied them. selves what shape it will assume. They would fain take security against the appearance of a power one and indivisible in their neighbour hood ; and to a certain extent they are in the right. Neither would such a Government secure the independence of the Greeks themselves, for under a democracy, where power belongs to all and is therefore boundless, freedom cannot be maintained. The Ancients had no such Govern ment; it cannot, indeed, exist ; it supposes such an equal distribution of the public will as is in compatible with the exercise of supreme autho rity, and without this, Government, for any prac ticai purpose, is good for nothing. The manners and morals of the community—if the popular mind is well-trained—may, perhaps, under such a system, preserve a show of order and obedi ence, and personal freedom may be safe ; this may he, because personal freedom consists in an exemption from all restraint as long as we conform to the laws ; bot political freedom there can be none, because it is essential to political freedom that there should be public responsibility, which, under a democracy, where all are rulers, cannot be found ; and when this fundamental of all government is wanting, po%%er, whatever cutward form it may assume, cannot fail to be arbitrary. It may be republic in name; but in substance it will be a despotism. With regard to the Greek cause, Ministers have taken a stand roost honourable to themselves. Their publicly avowed sentiments have been in its favour ; but much of the moral, and almost the whole of the political duty of Statesmen is comprised in prt>. deuce ; by involving Great Britain in hostilities from a quixotic interference in her quarrel, she could certainly not promote the real interests of G7eece ; and they must be euthusiasts beyond all cure from rea,ou or reflection, who would have had our Government pursue any other than the neutral course it has adopted, and by which it has so wisely determined to abide. [MORNING POST.] We received last night French Papers to the sth instant, and the Etoile of Thursday. The Journal des Debuts contains a vigorous attack on the Austrian Observer for the " malevolent exag geration" of its pretended Expose of the conduct of the Philhellenic Committees of England and France. It declares that the manner in which the names of two Princes of Royal Blood (the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Orleans) have been brought forward, must excite the indigna tion of all impartial men,and that no propositions for procuring them the Crown of Greece have ever been made. " But," it ad 's, " this is done to punish those Princes for having too elevated a soul not to wish for the triumph of so pure a cause as that of the Greeks." It then demonstrates, as we did about the same time, the utter false hood of the Austrian Observer's assertion, that the Turks and their Allies had put down the insurrection every where except at Napoli di Romania and Missolunghi. it shows that there remained untouched, and even unapproached, Athens with its citadel ; Salona, with Gourra's army ; Corinth with its almost impregnable for tresses ; the strong town of Napoli di Malvoisia, the mountains of Maina, and in fact every part of the country which was not actually under the foot of the invader. To this enumeration of places and provinces on the Continent and in the Morea, it adds the islands, Hydra, Spezzia, the Cyclades, Samos, Candia, once more in arms and half delivered, and then confidently asks : ' whether there be any reason for despairing of success this year or the year to come ?" " How often," it continues, " have not the intrepid Ba tavians under Nassau, and the Chivalrous Visi goths under Pelasgus, been reduced to a shorter space and to means of defence far less imposing !" Alluding afterwards to the daring attempt made by the gallant Cana ris in the port of Alexandria, and to the angry reproach of the Austrian Journal, that if it had succeeded European vessels would have been in jured amidst the destruction of the Egyptian :iavy, it justly observes " And if one hundred European vessels had perished in the port of Alexandria, whose fault would it have been ? Would it not have been that of those who dena honalised their flag by lending. it to cover the transport of arms and ammunition to the Egyp. Gan troops in the Morea ?" The most curious part of the article, however, is one which in timates that Mehemet Ali, who seems to en ter so heartily into the views of the Porte, and 'rho has hitherto so powerfully supported its interests, only awaited the conquest of the Morea to proclaim his own independence, and to lift the :.ncient standard of the Caliphs of Egypt. The failure of the conspiracy by which it was hoped to I gain possession of Napoli di Romania, and the protracted resistance of the Moreans, are said to hare made some alterations in his views, and to have induced him to think that those Greeks whom he could not reduce into subjects, might he valuable as Allies. Hence, we are told, it is not impossible that he may unite his forces to theirs, when once he shall have as certained the impossibility of subjugatit47, them. With this new plan floating in his mind, he is said to have paid great honours to the Captain Pacha on his arrival at Alexandria, but to have secretly created every practicable delay in the assembling of the reinforcements which this Commander had come to seek, and which Mehemet now does not like to place entirely in the hands of a Turkish Admiral. May these in cipient differences between the Ottoman Em peror, and a subject grown powerful enough to aspire at being his equal, be productive of advan tage to the sacred cause of Greece. Should the journal des Mbals be right in its surmises, what new political phenomenon may not be presented to the world—Greece establishing her inde pendence under the protection of an Egyptian Caliph. wiiiist all the States of Christianity are contending who shall not be her protector ! 7MORNING CHRONICLE.] In our observations in Thursday's Paper on the subject of the Siik Trade, we referred to the authority of a gentleman connected with that trade, of the highest respectability, for certain statements we then made. One of these state ments was, " that enormous quantities of contra band silk goods have been imported into this country, if not by the sanction, at least, under the connivance of, the Customs." This affirma tion, however high the authority on which we re. received it, certainly staggered us at the time, and we took care to add, " of course we can know nothing ourselves of the circumstance." — We learn that an investigation has taken place into the circumstance alluded to, which is now nearly completed, and that it has been satisfac torily proved the goods supposed to have been contraband have been manufactured in this coun try. The Report on the subject will, we are assured, make its appearance in a few (lays. We intended to offer some observations to-day on the subject of the Silk Trade,but want of space com pels us to defer them till Monday. The Funds were rather higher yesterday. The speculators for the rise are anticipating a favourable result from the report of the quarter's revenue on the 10th instant, the pay ment of the dividends, the advantageous alteration in Foreign Exchanges, &c. Consols for Account opened yesterday at 38, and closed at 88ii ; Exchequer Bills, 1 par to 2 premium.— The South American Stocks were rather higher in,the morning. Colombian Bonds, 74i to 75; Mexican Scrip, 10; discount; Greek, 24 to 2.31 discount ; Spanish Bonds, 17 to l7i. In Shares there was no alteration worth noticing. Consols for Account were 83! ; a large purchase for money was reported at that price. South American were also higher. Mexican Scrip, 9ii clic—(/4d.) [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] We have copied from The Austrian Observer, which reached us yesterday, a letter from Mr. W. T. Washington to the Greek Government, expostulating with it for soliciting the protection of England. It is a silly production, perhaps an impertinent one ; and might certainly have been spared from any practical results, which the measure complained of by Mr. Washing ton has produced. If that Gentleman was as well skilled in the art of reading the future, as he is in that of fine writing, his mind would not have been haunted by the melancholy reflec tion, that he had heard the death knell of Greek independence, in this solemn appeal to the generosity or ambition of the British Cabinet. fie knows very little of our present Government, notwithstanding the pragmatical manner in which lie speaks of it; and we beg leave to assure him, that its course with respect to this memorable contest, is not as tortuous as he imagines. To be the restorer of Greece is no part of its policy ; and therefore the imputation in Mr. Washington's letter, that the resolution of the Greek Govern. ment was originally drawn up in the lonian Islands, and with the connivance, or at the instigation of British Agents, is not worth the ink employed in forming the characters. — This, however, we think, we may safely affirm, that the Greeks will have no cause to regret this proceeding ; for our Government, though it has declined the honour of the Protectorate, will never abandon the people, who have given it this mark of their confidence, to the blind rage of their enemies. Mr. Stratford Canning's mission to Constantinople is any thing but a bad omen for the Greek cause ; and their interests, what ever turn their struggle may take, occupy, if we are not greatly mistaken, a conspicuous place in his instructions. It would be useless to waste another word upon a letter, which is of no intrin sic value, and which in fact has no other claim to notice, but from the cause with which the writer happens to be connected. tNEW TIMES.] W e are surprised that none of our contempo raries Lave been struck with one circurnstftnee in the late Pre.clamation, which operates most powerfully in favour of the Greeks, and more than indemnifies them for the inconvenience (which they have brought on themselves) of the prohibitory part. We allude to the last pal'a graph. His Majesty there " enjoins his subjects strictly to observe, us well towards the Otto man Porte and the Greeks, as towards all other belligerents, with whom his 'Majesty is at peace, tiro duties of neutrality, and to respect, in all and each of them, the ex ercise of those belligerent rights, which his Majesty has always claimed to exercise when his Majesty has himself been unhappily en gaged in war." Here we find a distinct acknow. ledgment by Great Britain that the Greeks are entitled to 'exercise the very same belligerent rights which we ourselves exercise when we are engaged in war. And when is this acknowledg ment made ? It is at a time When Austria denies those rights to the Greeks altogether, and France limits the exercise of them by the maxim of " free ships free goods." Such a recognition from such a power as Great Britain is worth an army to the Greeks. At least, it is even-handed tleutrality. [THE Times.] We shall be sorry if the Duke of Wellington condescends to join in filching away any of the pleasure-grounds of Hyde-park, and diverting it from the recreation of the people generally to his own—(it cannot be called recreation, but)—do minion. The bit of ground referred to, we ad mit, is small ; but so is the surface of the Park itself as compared with the wants of the metro polis. It is, however, the principle that we ob ject to, as unworthy of the Noble Duke's high sanc tion, and is encouraging similar petty larcenies by persons who have a less indisputable claim to the national favour than his Grace. The mode resorted to by the Court Papers of measuring a wrong committed by the intrinsic value of the thing in question, is like the apology of a poor girl who was charged with having a bastard child, and excused herself by telling the Worshipful Ma gistrate " that it was a very little one." The Duke of Wellington may have his thoughs en gaged by matters of more extensive importance than the cuttings and clippings about Hyde-park Corner. It would, therefore, be becoming in those among, his friends, who are more zealous for his popularity than his Grace hheself seems to be, to settle this business in a handsome spirit, and leave him, what we really wish that the coun try should consider him, free frontall just reproach. While we are on this subject,we would suggest that the gardens of Carlton-house be thrown open, on the demolition of that now useless edifice, and the interior of St. James's-park, at present railed off from the public and accessible to beasts only, be, on a contrary system, turned into pleasure ground, the people admitted, and quadrupeds excluded—a change, by the way, which would sensibly improve the prospect from the King's new Palace. We would recommend, secondly, that some definite and tasteful plan should be adopted with regard to Hyde-park itself, where the cheerful opening produced by throwing down the wall along the Kensington road from Pic cadilly, is stopped by a row of wretched hovels ; and where, further on, the nuisance of the horse-barracks at once offends the eye, and obstructs the public accommodation. These buildings were obtruded on the Park at a period of supposed necessity for some new cavalry bar racks. They were planned without skill, and built without solidity, are now in a state ap proaching to dilapidation, and if not pulled down in time, will save the Board of Works that trouble ; so that the improvement is likely to take place of its own accord. We conclude by hoping that no liberties are to be taken with the Green Park, in favour of the new enlarge ment working upon the site of Buckingham House. If a " necessity" be alleged for re moving the ride up Constitution-hitt farther from his Majesty's future residence, we are pre pared to assist on the more urgent necessity of so arranging the position or dimensions of that residence as not to incur the former " necessity" of stealing front the health and comforts of time people. It is to be recollected that by some per sons the cruel project has heretofore been enter tained of extinguishing the Parks altogether : time proposers were barbarians and fools, whoever they were! rmortsusak 'JERALD.] The Meeting which was held a day or two since, by some of the Manufacturers of Silk, in Spitalfields, to take into consideration the present state of the trade in that article, demands some observation. At that meeting, a gentleman of the name of Hale seemed to act a principal part. He expressed a wish that Government might he induced, by some means or other, to suspend the law of the last Session, authorising foreign silk goods to come into this country at July next, on the payment of (we believe) 30 per cent. duty. Now we think a tax of 30 per cent. is quite suf ficient for the fair and reasonable protection of this trade, and that it ought not to be protected by any higher tax. Besides, silk in its raw state, pays a duty, on importation, of only Id. in the pound. This may be called a tax merely nominal. Our manufacturers cannot IComplain of any neglect of their interests on the part of Government, with respect to the admis oion of the raw material. No severe impost pre vents it from coming cheaply to their hands. We have heard much talk of British skill—of British capital—British enterprize—British machinery, and every thing that constitutes what is called British superiority in trade and manufactures. — Yet here is Mr. Hale perfectly in terror at the idea of French competition, although the duty on raw silk is only Id. in the pound, and the dutyon manufactured goods of the silk fabric as high is 30 per cent. Why,under these circumstances, is he afraid of French interference ? What excites his alarm? To possess these advantages and British skill,British capital,and British superiority besides, ought, we should imagine, to make him perfectly confident of the flourishing security of the British silk trade in despite of all foreign competition.— But the new Act is not yet an operative law, and why is the silk trade at present depressd ? The reason is, that it was forced into an excessive briskness some time ago, and a natural re-action has taken place. In trade of all kinds it is noto rious that languor follows violent excitement, as certainly as a storm is succeeded by a calin.— T he fact is, that no sooner was the duty on raw silk reduced from a very high rate to so low a one as ld . in the pound, than Mr. Hale and all the Spitalfields men set to work, makiug goods as fast as they could make them, thinking that in proportion to the lowness of British silks, would the quantity worn by the British fair be increased. Mr. Hale and the Spitalfields men (most of them " professedly pious") did not care if luxury and extravagance carried ruin into domestic life so long as the British fair purchas ed plenty of the silk goods manufactured by Mr. 'Hale and the rest of the Spitalfields gentry. What was the consequence ? Although ten times the quantity of silk goods were manufactured than had been previously made, the British -fair only received the same money from the f3sl tish men, and• Mr. hale and others had nearly' . nine out of the ten pieces which they made left on their hands. The supply having thus ex ceeded the demand, and Mr. hale and the rest of the speculators in human extravagance having been caught with a stock on hand, they now want the Ministers to help them out of the pit which they have dug for themselves. We are inclined to think the Ministers have too much good sense to sacrifice their character for sound policy to those persons' projects of self-interest. We would not suspect them of realizing the part of the goat in the fable by descending into the draw-well and yielding their shoulders in simple compliance to the stratagem of the fox, though Reynard should be ever so importunate to escape from his awkward situation. But again, the silk trade is leaving Spitalfields ; and wherefore ?—the ridiculous laws regulating the price of weaving, &c., made some time since, caused the silk manufacturers to prefer Macclesfield, Coentry, Stockport, and other places where weaving could be had for half-price, and so they set up their silk establishments in those places, as every man of common sense must have fore seen. Can it be doubted that this will go on until the silk trade will abandon Spitalfields altogether, as it left Canterbury WO years ago, from nearly the same " protecting" causes ; or as the manufacture of silk, velvets, and brocades fled from Lucca to Venice, in the commence ment of the fourteenth century, on account of absurd and tyrannical interference ? We shall again revert to this subject. MR. GREEN'S BALLOON in SCOTLAND. (From the Dumfries Courier.) The good people of Wamphray were much puzzled as to the real nature and character of the visitant who had thus come, as it were, to take their sequestered parish by storm. Though they were all aware of the existence of balloons, ' few of them knew what a balloon was like, and we need not wonder if they felt as much surprise as the South Sea Indians did on seeing a stately bark bearing down, with every sail set, on their own remote isles of the ocean. The Esquimaux mistook a whaler for a great sea serpent ; the Otaheitans, when they saw a sailor mounted on horseback, devoutly believed that he was part and parcel of the same animal ; and the children in particular, residing in Wamphray, were equally at a loss to know what to make of Mr. Green's balloon. A knot of urchins, who first beheld it, ran, calling out, " blither, Mither, oh, :hither ! there's a great muckle thing fa'in frae the sky ; it's no an angel, but it's a' glitterin' " (the sun was then shining on the air-ship). A boy, who had been herding the swine belonging to Mr. Carruthers, of Hillhouse, came running home, might and main, and seemed so terribly agitated that his friends actually thought that he bad gone mad.— Some minutes elapsed before he was able to speak, and then he gravely informed the by-standers that " a great muckle dra gon had come over the hill, and lighted near the back of the stackyard ; that it wad tak' a hunder soldiers and mair to kill it, and that its sides were a' red like bluid." fly this time the " gale country side was asteer," and strangers flocked so fast from all quarters, that the farm of Kilbrook had all the appearance of a great hiring fair. Even after the aeronaut must have been a good way on his road to Carlisle, and quiet persons had retired to rest,a post-ehaise,filled with servant lasses,and drawn by 2 clumsy work horses, came routing and roaring, and the company was so anxious to see the show, that they could scarcely be persuaded to retrace their steps, although they were told that they were at least four hours too late. Altogether, the people of Moffat dale seem to have been as much dumfoundered at Mr. Green's unexpected appearance amongst them as the old wives of Fife were when the great Lunardi crossed the Frith, and fell from the lift, and when some wag mado a humorous stave, of which we only recollect the fag-end— " They thought it was the last day, And went to their houses to pray ; But, lo when the angel came , (town, 'Twas only LUNAItneS balloon." DIED at Belfast, on Wednesday, the 28th after a few days' illness, Mr. MATTHEW MARSHALL, aged 50. He served 25 years in the British army, during part of which he was troop-serjeant-major in the 6th or Enniskillen Dragoons, and was present, with that distinguished corps, on the memorable field of Waterloo. In the action of the I llth, the Enniskillens made several brilliant charges, particularly against the French cuirassiers, which repeatedly brought se veral of the Irish heroes into single combat with the mailed warriors of France. On one occasion, the Enniskillens charged in line, when Marshall's squadron exceeding even their native impetuosity and valour, dashed into the thickest of the ene my's phalanx, and being completely hemmed in on all sides, we're cut off from the other troops of the regiment—every man had fearful odds to encounter in endeavouring to return to the British lines ; Marshall, while sabring one of a party of cuirassiers on his right, had his bridle arm broken by a stroke front an enemy on his left, and had not proceeded much farther when he was beset by another crowd of French cavalry, and hurled from his horse by a lance which penetrated his side ; while he was failing, he received a heavy blow across the body, • and another which broke his right thigh. He lay for some time on the ground, unconscious of every object around, except when goaded to sensibility by the hoofs of the enemy's horses I careering over his mangled body ; the ground afterwards became somewhat clear; having partially recovered, he looked around, and espied a horse, without any rider, towards which he crawled and was about to mount the animal, when he was seen by a French trooper, who gallopping up, cut down poor Marshall, in the midst of his slender hopes, inflicting several severe wounds on his body. This part of the field was again occupied by the French forces, particularly artillery, of whose presence around hint, Marshall was first made aware, by one of the gunners making his mangled body a resting-place for his foot, while ramming his gun. —This is hnt a faint outline of the many painfully in teresting events which befel the subject of this hasty memoir on that day. The battle having concluded, circumstances pre vented immediate attention from being paid to the wounded, and Marshall remained on the field with nineteen lance and sabre wounds on his body, for two days and three nights.—On the regiment returning home, he was discharged with a pension of 2s. a-day. He has since resided at Belfast, amidst his relations and friends, where he maintained the character of an intelligent, unassuming, and strictly honest and industrious man. llis re mains were attended to the burying-ground by a numerous and respeztable assemblage. An alarming CASE of APOPLEXY occurred on Sunday morning, at French-street Chapel. Just before the communion, at eight o'clock mass, the entire congregation ap peared in a considerable degree of confusion. It was at once perceived that a poor man had been seized with a fit, the peo ple in the right-hand gallery distinctly heard a kind of suffo cating voice, and a gentleman who happened to be there in stantly rushed down stairs, and approaching the spot where the poor man was, humanely assist in the removal of hiai out sign of animation remainin g . Th e gen tl e . side the chapel. At this time he represented a horrible spec tacle, scarcely attempted anyto open the cravat, as if wishing to a pproach some vcssel in the neck ; bu t finding it impossible to uncover the neck, he instantly pat his hand on the forehead, and open ed the temporal artery—he let a considerable quantity of blood, and in a few minutes the poor man began to exhibit some signs of life, but not for en hour was he able to be taken to his lodgings in Cuffe-street. lie was a servant, but is now out of place, whose name is Lovett. We understand that the gen tleman who so promptly and humanely exerted himself on the occasion, visited the pour man several times since, and has the satisfaction to see that his patient is now doing quite well.— ( Freeman's Journal.)
