'I HE LONDON /JOURNALS. , . DAILY Dxtraets from the Morning Papers, Oct. 7, 1 Sis. [TIIE TIM ES.] It grieves us to state that the peace of Chris tendom is likely to be soon disturbed. The public may expect by every arrival to hear of preparations for self-defence, not only at both extremities of the European Continent—as. well Hambnrgh as lazy and slumbering Naples—but .throughout the great inland and potent monarchies of PfLISSIII, Austria, and pos sitrly (that, however, waits to be confirmed by, another post) the empire of all the linssitts.— France, and we - are•taught to hope England also, have hitherto escaped the threatenings of this awful and much-dreaded visitation—at least we have not been told of any increased armament at Brest or Portsmouth--of the English militia being called out, or the orijiamme being hoisted by his _Majesty King Charles. Sufficient, without such propinquity of evil, is the cause for consternation which besets us. An extract from a Gibraltar letter, which was yesterday received by express at Lloyd's, will explain the imminence of danger, and the source of it. In one word, a mighty Prince, the flower of legitimacy, whom all Monarchs may envy for the full protection wherewith he wields those attributes at which most Kings aspire, but in which this potentate as far outshines his fellows, as doth bright Phoebus the gleamings of the glow worm— the Emperor of Morocco, omnipotent and en lightened, has announced his intention of de claring war against those, among the Powers of Europe, who do not keep Consuls at his Court ! We have heard of a gentleman, living westward of the Shannon, who made it a rule to challenge every one who refused to dine with him, no ,mat ter how imperative the engagement elsewhere, or how courteous or plausible the language of ex cuse. Our forefathers, on both sides of the Channel, took means not easily misunderstood of showing their contempt for those who would not drink with them. Why should not, therefore, the Autocrat of all the Barbaries be revenged on him of All the Russias for unreasonably and rudely declining to smoke' with him ? We beg to state, that the noble spirit of his Most Barba rous Majesty has displayed itself on this occasion in splendid colours. Though possessing an en tire schooner, manned and armed, and quite ready for sea, this great Prince disdained the wretched policy of taking his deluded enemies by surprise ; but took care to make known his purpose, that they might be prepared for hostili ties. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] If the King of Spain has really shewn himself favourable to the project of a Constitution, it strongly betrays the embarrassments of his situa tion, for it is only the last necessity that could make him a convert to any measure, having ever so little a tendency to check his arbitrary pro pensities. t would also expose a strong trait of his character, we mean the pleasure he has always experienced. from the pain he Could inflict upon such as have provoked his displeasure, whatever, May have been the cause. To spite the Serviles, and enjoy their mortification„ would he one of his chief reasons for assenting to a proposal, which, if it shocked his political prejudices, would be a death-blow to a faction, which has not done him imaginary wrong, as ,many other victims of his cruelty, but has conspired for the purpose of depriving him of his throne, and probably of his 'life. We may judge from the summary manner' in which he proceeded against Bessieres what his feelings are towards the accomplices of that miserable and luckless adventurer ; and it May be safety said, that his leading passion at this time is a desire to be revenged on the whole patty. In the mean time, the keenest love of re venge could not suggest a more certain mode of gratifying his hatred of that faction, than his adoption of the scheme upon which we are 'com menting ; as it would he the inevitable means of bringing down upon the Serviles, the persecution to N 7 .11 C h their political oppopents have been hither to exposed. From this inducement, joined to that arising out of his pecuniary embarrassments, together with the impression which the unceasing solicitations of Foreign Powers must have made upon his mind—callous as it is to good council, from all these inducements we should not be sur prized if Ferdinand were actually to take the course pointed out in the Brussels Journal. • ['MORNING POST.] French Pa pets to the sth inst. and the Mode of Wednesday, reached us last night by express. With the exception of a short letter from Madrid, which states . that the execution of the seven un fortunate Grenadian Freenia'sons had filled the' ‘4 , 4)01 eCa pital with indignation arid'. horror, the opfy intelligence contained in these Journals, relates to the affairs of Greece. It is admitted,, even by the: Austrians themselves, that " the. Guerillas of the Moreahave received reinforce ments, had become. more useful : that those light. troops, led by intrepid Chiefs, attacked all the de taatroents of the Egyptian army which ventured' from the main body, and that Ibrahim Pacha re-; mined at Tripolizia entirely on the defensive and without an _y communication with Mocion or Nava.; lino on account of the plague." Other accounts,, linweyerascrihe a d ifferen (cause to the interruption • of his communications, and: confirm ',the report..: received 'yesterday,Ahathe had marched for the purpose of 'restoring them, leaving a garrison, within Tripolizza, and that he had experienced a severe defeat in the attempt. What is equatly: important and proPitiouS to the just cause; is the rapid success of . the new insur i(4ctian in' Ca edia. The . last reinforcements drawn by Lbrahitu Pasha front., that island baving,left., it 'in a neap!) , defenceless : state, the Sphackiotes' iiescended from 'their moantainS and surinised the ggytians ..encamped in the vicinity of XreMboutza. ,l ' Hassan Paella brought all his disposablelrorCe.to their support, and an action was fought:within afevr .miles of that fortress,in TUrks were completely beaten. They .endeavoured to regain : •Kremboutza ; but the 'Greeks in that place-had also risen during their absence, and •secured-the gates,. so that' i t- imme- diately passed into the hands of the Conquerors. According to some accounts, Hassan I'acha him self, thus deprived of his expected refuge, be came a prisoner. However this may be, it ap pears to be a certain fact, that the Turks, find ing themselves too few in number to resist the insurgents, who were increasing every day, had left the open country and retreated into the for tresses. A division of 1,600 troops is said to have been immediately sent from Hydra to assist the natives in reducing those fortresses before they could receive any relief. Even should they fail in the attempt, the diversion produced by this insur rection cannot fail to have a most beneficial in fluence on the fate of the campaign in the Morea. For instead of being conveyed to that Peninsula, the expedition preparing in the Egyptian ports will be wanted in Candia to prevent the entire loss of that important island, without the posses sion of which the Ottoman fleets would have no safe harbour where to take shelter when pursued by the Greeks. The war will therefore he now transferred to another soil, and Ibrahim must feel that he can no longer hope to be relieved. It is perhaps this conviction or fear which induced him to endeavour to cut his way bark to Modon, and to restore his communications with the sea, that he might have a door open for escape out of the Peloponnesus. NEW TIMES.] A Junta, or what we calla Board, has been established in Spain for the regulation of the Finances. This is a mere farce. Ever since the reign of Charles 111. resort has, from time to time, been had to similar expedients ; and the result has been simply to procure pensions for the Members of the Junta, who have always re tired without effecting any beneficial change whatever. We have often said there is but one operative power in Spain, and that is the Church. Unhappy is the country where spiritual men are the only guides of, temporal affairs ! But still, there the Churchmen are, and the question is whether they can be displaced ; or whether, if they were displaced, there is any other spring by which the machine of Government can be moved. The French seem to think that they can raise up a middle party between the Fana tics and the Liberals ; and we sincerely wish them success in the attempt : but hitherto it does certainly appear that they have laboured to little effect, and are likely in the end to find them selves seated between two stools. By the fana tical party Bessieres is regarded as a martyr, and his example will probably be followed by many hot-headed z.alots in various parts of Spain. It will-be a singular spectacle to see a whole coun try in insurrection to establish the absolute power of • their King in temporal, and their Priesthood in spiritual affairs ; and yet, among the extraordinary occurrences of the present age, this promises to be done. [MORNING HE[tALD.] When the - Austrian Observer states that it is not yet known what answer .was given by Com modore Hamilton to the Greek Senators who came to solicit the protection of England, it iw plies that the Commodore was invested with the functions of a negociatoc, and had it in his power to conclude a treaty with the Greeks. The same erroneous impression also got possession of the French Papers, at the time when the appeal to English . protection was first announced. We contradicted it on that occasion, and stated that the part which Commodore Hamilton took in the transaction was merely to become a medium of communication .between the Greek Authorities and his Government. •The result has proved the• accuracy of our statement. It was a question.not for a Naval Officer, . but for the Cabinet to decide upon. Instead of making 44 brilliant promises," as the French Papers alleged, he_ simply forwarded the proposition laid before.him, for the deliberate decision of• Ministers, while he. contented himself with enforcing the neutrality which our Government had previously avowed. What effect the decision of Ministers, when known at the seat of war, may have on the des tinies of Greece, we shall not presume to predict. If their affairs were so ruinous, that they despair ed of success without the assistance of England, their cause is at an end. But if it was only a•con ditional sort of stipulation depending upon future events, they may be stimulated to a united effort by being thrown altogether on their own resources, of which it would be difficult to calculate the result. Certain it is, that since England has declared her intention. of remaining- neutral, Greece can have- no hope of either .succour • or sympathy from any other European Power. She must fight her battle alone or submit, unless America should think it politic to listen to the entreaties. which we' have rejected. We trust, however, that while England remains neutral, the other Great Powers of Europe will evince an equal spirit of impartial forbearance ; and not, as they hitherto have done, make the unhappy country now involved in a dreadful conflict, the theatre of corrupt intrigues for their own selfish purposes, in opposition to th e d oc t r i ne s Which they proclaim, and the interests of ci vilization and humanity. Now that the senti ments of England are so solemnly declared, they can' have no excuse for the interference which they attempted to justify, on the ground that they were counteracting a contrary p o li c y on her Pait. If the Greeks are •worthy of independence, they will have virtue a nd fortitude enough to secure it. [BRITISU PRESS.] We would willingly hope that, in the interval between this and the meeting of Partia,ment, the workmen in the different trades will have re turned to the regular pursuit of. their, true. inte rests,anq will have come, round to the convic- Itnittl4t weekly pittanCe that can be 'doled Out tiiti)eiP ll l : o:te Union into whiCh they_have been persuaded to enter, can cOmpensate for the entire loss of that independence which is to belourid in their own honest earnings. r The wiser-among thent,'we have no doubt, Will, ere long, disclaim the treacherous influence by which they have been betrayd. There: is . always a lingering attachment • tAi the principles of justice and fair dealing in the •hearis of the common people of this country, which, if they are left to themselves, will bring them- back to the right path when they have °nee discovered that they are widely straying away from it. They are at pre sent misled—:-we are adverting, of course, to the working classes—by a few designing men, who, under the mask of a zeal for the improvement of their•' condition, are daily stimulating them into new' follies, and goading them to excesses of which they throw the reproach upon them, while they take the profit to themselves. No doctrine can be more untrue or more pernicious than that which represents the profit of the capitalist as the idle man's share of the industrious man's earnings. Yet this is the doctrine which is now indus triously propagated throughout all the manufac turing districts of the kingdom, for the purpose of alienating the labouring classes from their em ployers, and exciting them to carry the system of combination to the full extent of all its pre posterous consequences. The union system may invest them with a shadowy power, but it will strip them of all substantial energy. We would support the workmen in all their claims so long as they are confined to their legitimate and acknowledged rights. The instant they begin to invert the order of things, there we leave them. We cannot support them in strug gling against the institutions of nature, because, in so doing, either they are mischievously mis led, or they sin against their better knowledge, and in both cases society is only safe by arming itself against their pretensions. To suppose that the operatives in the different trades can, by forming a union, however extensive, among them selves, procure permanently the means of subsist ing with ease and comfort in a state of disunion from their employers, could never, one should think, have entered the mind of any man relieved from a strait-waistcoat. And yet this is the sup position which the present system of separation acts upon ; but to what result will it lead ? To a state of remediless confusion, afflictive alike to the workman and the- master. Let the workman better his condition to the utmost of his means, but do not let him fancy that, under any com bination, he can level the natural inequalities of human condition. It is sheer infatuation. In vain will he endeavour to produce fruit from any other stock than that on which God has appointed it to grow ; but by cultivating that stock the fruit will be produced, and abun dant enough, for the most part, fully to reward the industry employed upon it. An attempt is at present making to reverse all the received notions of property which have hitherto prevailed in the world. EMORNING CHRONICLE.] It has often been - said' that the congregating men together in large cities is equally injurious to their minds - and bodies; and• hence many per sons look on the growth of our sea-ports and our manufacturing towns with - great apprehension.— " Manufactures and commerce (says the Poet Wordsworth) have, by unnaturally clustering the people together, enfeebled their bodies, in flamed-their passions •by intemperance, vitiated from childhood their moral affections, and de, stroyed their imaginations." That great cities are, upon the whole, bad schools 'for youth, and that it requires much care on the part of parents and guar dians to secure children both from the influence of corrupting associations, and front a certain pert ness and self-sufficiency of manner, must, we fear, be admitted. The evil has, however, been greatly exaggerated, while the disadvantages attendant on an education in the country are not taken into account. If those who have been brought up in towns are wore pert in manner, those who have been brought up in the country are -often much conceited in reality ; if the - affections of the latter are stronger, they are also more - vindictive and malicious ;• and cunning and hypocrisy are much more frequent in villages than in towns. But however this may be—as we cannot arrest the progress of society, which. is continually swelling the size of our towns, instead of idly declaring against that which cannot be prevented, we ought to endeavour to - counteract- as far as possible the tendencies to evil which great cities naturally generate. Hence, the importance of those insti tutions, which snatch the infants of necessi tous parents from that worst .of all schools, the streets of a great tenon. ,A few years of infancy 'well spent, 'the influence of the good impressions then received often deter mines the character of the whole of the future life. We are sorry to see • the High Church Clergy every Where endeavouring to thwart the benevolent individuals engaged in this truly charitable work, by an attempt to make the teaching the Church Catechism a ,sine qua non in the infant schools, thus fettering them with a condition . which would limit them to a par ticular class, and preferring a miserable Sectarian triumph, to the good of • their fellow creatures. Fortunately in great cities, where these schools are most wanted, the mischievous attempts of the Clergy are least likely to be successful. In the Birmingham Journal of Oct. 1, it is stated that " neither of the Rectors of the Parish Churches in this town, nor any of the Clergy officiating at these Churches, were invited to form a part of the Provisional Committee, or to take any share' in the deliberations as to the propriety and expediency of establishing the Infant School."— The' plain English, of this,' we suppose, is, that the sentiments of the individuals in question had been too unequivocally expressed on. the subject of these schools to allow of any hope of obtaining their •co-operation. In Exeter, how ' ever, where -the churchmen _muster stronger its prosp er ity to a h h s o t r i t i e of 27 coup e p d t e . than in a manufacturing _ town which owes dissenters, h them main was attempted • by Finding :that 'the establishment of an infant school in that city could not he prevented,: and that the promoters of the design were averse to any 'conditions which should b e an o b stac l e t o its universality, a meeting was held in the Guild hall o n th e above day, the Bishop of. Exeter - in the Chair—not, however, a public meeting, for it had never been publicly called by advertisement or any other means, and not above one hundred persons were present, when regulations of an ex clusive character were produced, and alt discus sion on the subject of them interdicted. FOR THE SUN. .wwWlfileggliere• ANTIQUITY OF PAINTING. Mit. EDITan-Man is essentially an imitative animal, this faculty, from which result some of the most rational of his enjoyments, is one of the first which-is developed in him from his earliest infancy; we find the child making repeated at tempts to imitate the sot•nd, and the gestures of those around him. At a period of life rather more advanced, we see him endeavouring to imi tate the form of the different bodies raich meet his eye; to this rational bias, we are indebted for the origin of the fine arts, whose object is the representation of the forms, or of the sounds which nature every where presents to our senses. But, however perfect these may be in their nature, the sensations they awaken are not equally pleasing. '!'he eye naturally dwells upon some forms with more pleasure than on others, and" tiiP ear is delighted with some tones and sounds, whilst others produce an effect pre cisely the reverse. As pleasure is the object man incessantly pursues, he was soon struck with this remarkable difference, and directing the whole of his attention upon what gratified his mind, he proceeded gradually from a rude imitation of the objects around him; to a more perfect representation of them ; and en couraged by his success at the same time, that his genius was called forth by the praises he fail ed not to receive from adrniring nations, he pass ed on from this correct representation of nature to the creation of the beau ideal, or the embody ing in one subject the perfections which nature rarely bestows upon even the most favoured of her individual productions. Such has been the rise and progress of Painting, upon the antiquity of which I intend, more especially, to make a few observations in the present letter. Tradition and historical documents both tes tify the great antiquity of the Art of Painting. Though necessarily rude in its first attempts, it had reached no inconsiderable degree of perfec tion so early as the time of Homer. What this eminent Poet relates of the embroidery worked by Helen and Penelope, leave no doubt that design, and even colouring,had been long known to the Greeks. Virgil must have considered Painting as having attained no mean degree of perfection at this early period, since his hero immediately recognizes his own features in the Paintings which decorated the walls of the Temple of Juno at Carthage. Pass we on from the Poets to the historian, we shall have further proof of the antiquity of Painting. Diodorus Siculus informs us, that the celebrated walls of Babylon, erected by the no less celebrated Se miramis, were made of coloured bricks, disposed so as to offer• the representation of different ani mals. Nay, more ; we are further informed, that in the palace of this Queen were seen pictures representing ,battles, and the amusement of the chace.. The• Egyptians were undoubtedly one of t e most ancient , people upon - the face Of the earth. Without admitting to its full extent their ridi culous Psistensions upon this head, that they were among the first men who assembled in a society, and .Whopracticed.the arts and sciences, which such a mode of existence renders indispensable, is a fact which it is impossible to deny. Anxious to represent themselves as highly civilized at a period when the rest-of rorankind were still sunk in a most deplorable state • of ignorance and of barbarity, they have not failed to claim the in vention of painting, - and have boldly assert. ed that - they practised this art above . • six thousand years before it was known -in Greece. What-gives force to this assertion, is the sym bolical method 'they employed to represent ideas. The very elstence• of hieroglyphics, proves the existence of drawings, since per sons and object were - represented by figures of men, of animals, of fruit, of flowers, and of other natural productions, and though undoubtedly a laborious, i# is certainly the most simple method of conveying ideas to the mind : but as it can re present only objects - that exist externally, it is necessarily united in its operations. Much as we had heard from ancient authors, respecting the perfection to which the Egyptians had attained in painting, we might have consi dered the whole as grossly exaggerated, had not the discovery of. paintings hidden from public view during several centuries, and now brought to light by the labours 'of Deport, and the perse verance of Belzoni, convinced us that such was indeed the case. It appeared so extraordi nary, that paintings should resist - the attacks of time, and those,. much more destructive, of ignorance and. of rapaciousness, that When the first European who - visited the ruins of Upper Egypt, among whom was Paul Lucas, publish- . ed an account of- what they had seen, the truth of their narration was not generally credited. This arose, however, less from the incredulity of the readers, than from the excessive credulity of the traveller, who lending a ready ear to the tales he heard abroad, or needlessly yielding to the suggestions of an exuberant imagieatiops filled his narrative with such improbable fads, that they threw a, shade.of suspicion over the whole. performance. But, now, when many temples have been carefully, explored, now that the bold and indefatigable Belzoni has brought to light the paintings which adorn the tombs of the Kings of Thebes, : the.proficiency of the Egyptains paintings, at a very ear)); period, cannot be rea- sona bly disputed; T hat they n e v e r departed from the stiff and graceless style they had once adopt ed, and consequently left the arts of painting and statuary•%sholly without improvement, does not, in the least, militate against this opinion. Much as I may be disposed to admire the ancient institutions of the Egyptians I must still confess that I think they tended only to make horses, • what we find them, - mere automatons ; capable of doing well that which they had been 'trained up to do, but ever obliged to move with. in o.e limits of the same circle, and, therefore, wholly incapable of improvement. Of this we have another remarkable instance, in a nation which may boast likewise of the highest antiquity. Like the Egyptians, the Chinese were early ad dictsd to the arts . zuld sciences; but among them 'likewise ) these arts and sciences bale ever re mained stationary. more espy oiAmong the ancient Bactrians, but chilly among the ancient Persians, th e with stud l that painting was practised, and kept pace '' scru ' d by of literature. This had been com mas Zoroaster ; and his disciples polou, at. tended to his precepts. -Painting wa s sIY tect .. prac i Z na among the most ancient nations of Asi a ' r ove d the travels of Mr. Bullock in Mexico, bavel:6,,o. that this art was not unknown to the anciel',,le, habitants of that country. Most of the Pr°7"eir tions of art were carefully destroyed II pr e- Spanish conquerors ; but enough has be e ", % c y served . to give us some notion of their proficiel',.:t These relics are valuable on this account, t"... they are not less so on account of the very but m ore es . P ing resemblance their design, 0 , dully the sculptures, bears to th at of the - t cient Egyptians. This resembla nce is s° great, g : that the visitor, at first, fancies himself am ° is productions of the Egyptian chisel' T his i d a remarkable coincidence. Wherefore shou we meet with heads and statues wit h an g5„Pt: tian style of countenance, with pyramids Lieth ins some resemblance to those of Egypt/ Ell deities similar to those whose gigan tic forfus the temples of Ilindoostan, among an itoulatear people dwelling on the shores of a porti on or oro globe, which had remained for thou sands of Yea unknown to the rest of mankind ? To the learn: in such lore I leave the explanation of this sing; bar coincidence between the Asiati c monumell i such as they may see at Bullocks, with those w ( Egypt, now exhibiting by the amiable wid°,vl.o, the unfortunate Belzoni, and with thos e of 11.1,1 doostan, such as they are delineate d in vorio' works upon the latter country. A• Y• THE DEAD ALIVE• w rw A case appeared in the papers la st Week he ne t a gentleman, named White, made an affidavit police-offices, that a youth, who was supposed by his filen. ,4 have been drowned in the river Thames a few days befoOL et it, the body identified by them and interred, was alive at p le d by and well. If this case had not been so clearly authenticano affidavit, it might be supposed, with some colour of trutthol'se, the story was borrowed from the following very simile ~ a bl e which occurred some time ago in the family of a reV e- i ide jeweller, now residing in the Strand :—The tradesman we%tice, to had a nephew, a fine youth, 18 years of age, an aPPr n iog , who was in the habit of going out early every Sunday itl,.tiog in summer, without leave, to bathe in the Thames, and ot with him, as his companion, a large Newfoundlanatr;l4. belonging to the family.
