THE LONDON JOURNALS• DAILY Kviructsfront the - Arcfrtiilk, Papers,lllay 14, 159.5. [THE TIME'S.] Advices were received yesterday from Zante ;o the 9th ult. of a nature extremely unfavoura ble to the independence of Greece ; and we bre sorry to add, that the accuracy of the gettce. is strengthened by the circumstance, that both the friends and the enemies of the 'cause, in, the principal facts agree in ' their statements. *he relief of Patras has been effected by A etioVe- meat of the Commander of the Egyptimi fl ee t, who dispatched a division of, 11 sail for Zante, mrbere they engaged 10 Austrian vessetS a» trans ports, ,and the whole, laden with pretiiiibtis, pro teeded for Patras. •No intelligence of their hav ing actually entered that port had reached Zante, but it was ascertained that the Great had no blockading force before Patras capable of op. poiing the entrance of such a fleet. This sup ply would be a most seasonable one to the ene rny„ns it was known that the garrisons, bOth of ,Pitrcs a] Lepante, were prei4ed for flour, thiAtgh they had a supply Of cattle. not witbstanding the late reports circulated at Zaitte, that the Greek hi-et was at sea, and that it was sufficiently strong to employ a division of 30 sail to act against the Egyptian fleet , and one of equal force to attack that expected from Constan tinople, no tidings had been heard of its move ments, or of its having hemmed in that of the Turks off Modon. This non-appearance of the Creek fleet bad gained credit for some previous rumours, that the division at Hydra was in a state of mutiny, and that a party had sprung up there in favour of Colocotroni. The treachery of Odysseus appears to obtain greater probability, and it is again asserted, though •we confess we have strong doubts on the subject; that our countryman Trelawney has lent himself to the views of this traitor to the cause of indepen dence; Tile landing of a large force from the Egyp tian fleet is confirmed ; and though the letters of tl4 pariiinnS of the Greeks. and Turks respec tivily differ as to the nutribers, yet the lowest make thein amount to 10,000 men ; they are said •tci have French officers among them, with a park of artillery, and to have actually laid siege to Navarin. The TurkS are said to be making great preparations in Albania, and to have col leeted a large force in the neighbourhood of Joannina, Prevesa, and Arta, destined against the Morea, With the intention, in their way . thither, of trying their strength against Mis solonglti. This force is said to be principally composed of Albanian Turks and Greeks. [TUC PUBLIC LEDGER. 3 The new Ministry of France would no doubt play off the same kind of game in Ireland, as Chateaubriand had done in Spain ; with this dif ference, that the Ultras are actuated by a more impaiiioned desire to humble England than they could have. been possibly actuated by in their hostility to the Spanish, Constitutionalists. Eng lish liberty is the mostfoithidible apparition they behold in the whole range of the moral world ; and there is nothing that they would not risk to rid themselves of the terrors which it inspires. As long as it haunts them, they cannot pursue, I with the requisite energy, their scheme of arbi trary power ; and,What is more, they cannot be certain of securing their present advantages. Ther efore their first and last wish is to see England a pre'y to some calamity ; and, as she is vulnerable only in one point, should they ever. get into power, they would never' cease till they could get at that weak part. We should, thereforeH look upon the dismissal of Count Villele, At this period, withfeelings of real dismay. In the event of the Catholic Bill passing, it would be matter of the utmost indifference to us, -Whether he remained in office, or was forced to resign, for, if we are united at hoirre, we have nothing to dread from the hostilitY of the rest of the world. Resides the reasons we have just stated for the passing of the Catholic Bill, our present policy would halt without it. That po licy has been founded upon the highest ty, , both as our foreign relations and domestiC tetests are concerned. The least departure frOm it in either, would paralyze the whole system ; and the improvements that have been introduced *dnicf be premature, unless the spirit prevailed thiherally. Moreover what virtue could they have, if they were taken out of the hands of their kithors, and confided to the care of men, who hiVe always met them with a jealous feeling. Tfie Catholic Question is evidently a trial of sti•tigth, as well as a test of principle, between tw(i parties in the Cabinet ; and, if it be thrown out; if its friends Will, in all probability resign shortly afterwards. . /BRITISH PRESS.] As the darapproaChes for discussing the prin• cipie of the Catholic Relief Bill in the House of Lords, More petitions are presented relative to .teat imittartant queStion every evening.

Nor if both Houies had passed it, would it be one jot more a law until the Royal Assent had rendered it one. We have been induced to make these observations, not with reference to the measure Elb* hefol-e Parliament, but merely to counteract the pernicious and constitutional opinion by whiCh•the functions of the Ilouse of Lords would be reduced to the simple act of re gistering the taws passed by the Conimons. ['NEW TIM Ei.l In the House. of Lords last night, when a pe- ' tition was presented by the Archbishop of York against further cbncessions to the Catholics, Lord king again returned to his favourite topics, and reiterated his trite, although intemperate sayings, abont the Clergy, and the Church of England, and religibbs eitablishments, with a persevering intre pidity. viliiCh &lilies every check which courtesy or good feeling might ihipOse. His Lordship is greatly *istaken, if he iMagines that he renders any ser vice to the Catholics by his vituperative attacks. In the House of Cornirions,'Mr. Huskisson moved the third reading Of the Warehoused Corn Bill ; and a conversation ensued in which several Members participated, and the Bill was passed. The Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed the grant of '2OOOl. to Mr. M'Adam, which, after some op position, was agreed to by a majority of fifty-six. A very important communication was made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the House resumed. The Right lion. Gentleman gave notice, that on Monday next he would move for a Committee, to take into consideration a proposed augmentation of the Judge's Salaries ; and he added, that the subject had received the sanction of his Majesty. 'We are well convinced that the public will warmly approve of this measure, as the pecuniary reward which the Judges at present, receive is inadequate to the support of their dignified station, and the heavy and unavoidable expences which the Circuits force upon them. [MORNING POST.] We question if ever an unfortunate Bill re ceived similar treatment to that which the pre sent Roman Catholic Bill experienced on its passage through the House of Commons. It would he utterly impossible to say now whose measure is before the House of Lords. Sir Francis Bur dett obtained leave to bring in the Bill, and se veral Hon. Gentlemen were nominated along with him to manufacture the article into a legis lative shape ; while the Hon. Baronet and some of his partners, feeling the difficulty of their task, called in the aid of a great professional law giver, viz. Mr. O'Connell, who, however, not giving satisfaction to his employers, ultimately had his labour for his pains. At last Sir Francis Burdett produced the united wisdom of one Joint Stock Popish Company, and dropping it at_the hospitable door of the Opposition, merely an nounced the fact and decamped, leaving the bantling to he -adopted and brought to maturity by whom it might. The whole Party then club bed to support it for a few days; when Mr. Brougham, being a friend of Education, and the Father of the affair not appearing, undertook the care of the stripling, and with much difficulty and exertion forwarded the charg e a little further — when he too abandoned it. Sir J. Newport then, in charity, became sponsor for the ricketty younker, and carried it for confirmation to the Altar, where it is doomed to expire under the hands of the Bishops on Tuesday next. Now, we are totally at a loss to discover any instance parallel to this in the history of Parliament. Was Sir F.. Burdett ashamed of his own offsprit , , and did he therefore desert it as soon as born ?—and was Mr. Brougham, who benevolently nursed the brat, also ashamed of its deformity, and surrendered the tutorship before it was half completed ? or were both like the Creator of the Demon' in the Romance, more afraid than ashamed of the monstrous work of their hands ? Let the Public be umpire and determine. But this we affirm that " Westminster's Pride' fl reckoned without his host, when he thought of advocating the cause of Popery, and retaining at the same time the fivour of his Consti tuents. " 4 The Baronet" is no doubt an inge nious as well as an HotrOurable Gentleman, but his dexterity in endeavouring to shift The blame of leaguing with the Papists upon the ground of " Religious Liberty in this country," is too shallow a ruse to avail him. Why, how ever, did not he, or the foster-father of the Catho lic Bill, carry it up to the Lords ? We pretend not to know, but we may be allowed to imagine that a " Radical Reformer" would cut rather a queer figure at the Bar of the Peers soliciting their assent to a measure of his own concocting —and that such a sight as Mr. Brougham in po lite confabulation with the Woolsack, would be too hazardous an attack upon the gravity of the spectators as well as the performers of so sublime a scene. Verily this is an unique period of British history. [MORNING HERALD.] In the House of Lords, last night, there was I again some conversation as to the particular in fluence that had occasioned so many petitions to I,te presented against the Roman Catholic Bill. Lord King repeated that the Bishops had pro moted thern, by the exercise of undue influence. The Bishop of Exeter expressed his astonishment and regret that any Noble Lord should perse vere in such itaternents, and again denied that the Bishops or the Clergy had exercised any un- Ale influence; he added that, in his opinion, the : petitiOni viere the spontaneotis.ettorts of the pen. ale, and that in all,parts of the country public ioiiittion was against the Roman" Catholic Claims. 'Tie Lord Chancellor observed that the people of England were not willing to hear the Clergy -held up to odinni as they had been ; that he verily believed that many of the petitions had resulted from such remarks as had been made by Lord King to prove what the people's opt. nions were ; aivt that if they would onl y let ~ 1 4014. King go on, , there would be many more petitions laid upon the table in consequence `of that Noble Lord's' remarks. Lord Holland .declared that he had heard with astonish , mem the opinion heretofore expressed by, the Lord ChanCellor that a great majority of the people were against the Claims, and denied that any thing had as yet appeared, especially in their Lordships' House, to warrant the e xpressio❑ of such an opinion. Dr. Doyle forwarded a com munication to the House of Commons, through the medium of Sir John Newport, who read it to the House. It complained that Dr. Doyle had been misrepresented, particularly iu that Houie (alluding, we believe, to Mr. L. Foster's speech instituting comparisons be t Ween the Doctor's writings, as " J. K. L." and his evidence), and the Doctor begged to state that in his writings, ackowledging those under the signature of J. K. L. to be his productions, there was nothing inconsistent with his evidence ; that he never had attacked the Protestant faith and Establishment, as represented ; and above all that he never had attacked the Protestant Church as one that ought to be made to give way to his own, though the writings of J. K. L. were replies to violent attacks upon his faith and his Church. Mr. C. W. Wynn, in reply to Mr. Hume's inquiry on the subject, stated that no fUrther letters or in telligence had been received from India as to the progress of the Burmese war ; that the ships which it was expected conveyed dispatches, had not yet been able to come up, and that the public is in possession of all the information possessed by the Government. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We told our readers on the 4th instant, that when the true account of the late disastrous oc currence at Barrackpore came to be known, it would be seen " how little the feelings of our native army in India was attended to," and the danger of continuing the system of em ploying strangers exclusively to command in that country. The official account, we sup pose, accompanied by the proceedings of the Court of Enquiry which sat in consequence, is now come home, and we trust some Mem ber of the House of Commons will move to have it presented. The public will be surprised to learn, that the number killed, wounded, and executed, on this melancholy occasion, is nearly six hundred, out of a corps of little more than seven hundred men ! ! !—that resistance was never intended—and that while this work of slaughter was going on, not a musket was loaded by the unhappy victims.—lt is not to be expected that men in subordinate situations, like those composing the Committee which inves tigated thin affair, would be likely to give vent to the full expression of their opinion on a subject which implicated their superiors; but, if we are not misinformed, enough is expressed to convince the public, that a very unnecessary antt..barbar °US proceeding has occurred, which cal 4. aloud on the Government of England for justice to the, unoffending natives of India. We yesterday in serted with very great pleasure, the tribute of ap plause expressed by the Government of Madras on the services of the late General Sir Alex. Camp bell, Commander-in-Chief of the army at that Presidency. Sir Alexander had served twenty years, out of upwards of forty years he had been in his Majesty's army, on that establisment.— He knew well, from experience, the value of the native troops, and how to secure their devotion to the service, which was fully ex emplified by the zeal with which they em barked on board ship, on that unfortunate and useless expedition to Rangoon, where they have vied with their European comrades, in gallantry and patient endurance of privations, such as to elicit the warm encomiums of the gal lant Commander, who, from his former acquaint ance with the native troops of India, had learnt a lesson, from which he is now reaping the ad vantae.

W., in your Paper of the, sth inst., says, that "the ar gument used by Mr. CANNING in favour of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S Bill, viz., 4 that if the con cessions required by the Roman Catholics are not now granted, they will in ten years be in sufficient force to enfranchise themselves,' ought rather, when viewed in its true and proper light, to he considered as an unanswerable objection to the passing the Bill ;" that is, by its being pass ed, the Roman Catholics will acquire accumula tion of power that will give them the m enus of obtaining their ultimate end (an unlimited in crease of that power), what they will_not have without the Bill being passed. But, Sir, it may not be made a question, on what the increase of the Roman Catholic persuasion depends, whether on the tendency which it has within itself to add to the number of its followers, (without which tendency I think we can hardly suppoSe that any accumulation of power, unless carried very high indeed, will have that effect) ; or whether on the spirit of opposition which the present restric tions on it now excite? On either side of this question, I think the opinion must rest ,chiefly on speculative grounds ; for though it is that the demands have encreased since the first . concessions were made, yet former (and 1 believe general) experience has been in favour Of the sup' position that adherence in these cases is eticreas. ed by, that spirit of opposition, and 'the causes that excite it. If, on the other hand, the Ro man Catholic religion has within itself its own means of increase, that increase will probably take place in spite of any restrictions that are employed to prevent it, .which, at most, wilt only retard it. But, if restrictions have, more , or less, a tendency to maintain that spirit of opposition on which I have supposed (as one opinion on the question) the adherence to re ligious persuasion in. a great measure to de pend, the lessening of them'may be expected to have a contrary effect. :It may, perhaps, be said in favour of withholding any further concessions to the Roman Catholics, that it is better to " le t well alone ;" but against the existence of this well (or at least against its stability) many argo - ments would no doubt be brought by men of less abilities (or less eloquence and ingenuity) than Mr. CANNING; and indeed the argument adduced by 'l'. W., respecting that used b 9 Mr. CANNING, seems to me to be in some de gree an admission that Mr. CANNING'S iirgO' meat is not without its weight ; for T. W.'s. ob jection to Mr. CANNING'S application of it, 1 think, that the increase of power in the Roman t Catholics would, a fortiori, be produced .by Sir FftAI•ICIS ButtnErr's Bill. If this is so, ou r GoVernment must be coiisidered as having only a choice of evils, or at least of dangers, to tie upon ; and, at any rate, the opinion formed ups" the question must, as I have said before, rest chiefly upon speculative grounds, and so specula-. tive that, considering all that is involved in it, think it is extremely difficult (to say the least) for a thinking man to make up his mind cow' pletely upon it. Leaving it, as it must be left ; to the 44 multitude of Counsellors." . I remain, Sir, your's, - &c. May 3, 182.5. W. D. P.S. I think, in addition to what I have Said above, that we. may lay some stress on the bp' proved reason of mankind, to enable them to s‘)g through the errors, and - still greater abuses, ; - the Roman Catholic Religion. Will this leov f a probability that those who are not alreitlij: attached to it by habit, interest, &c. will 0131: brace its tenets ? And if not, will there not a ways be a sufficient opposition to its power all influence ? COAL MARKET, MAY 13. Ships at Market. Ships sold 99!
