lIIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extr act Q from the Morrung Papers, Oct. 5, 1625. [3IOIIZ , TING POST.] The Gazette of last night contains a Proclama-. tion enforcing the provisions of the Foreign En- listment - Bill, which it was resolved to issue at the Council held at Windsor, on Friday, incon sequence of the imprudent publicity given by the Greek Committee to the arrangements made with Lord Cochrane for the assistance of the Greeks. This Proclamation, which will be found in a pre- - ceding column, after noticing the happy terms of peace - and amity on which Great Britain is with the Powers of Europe and America, and the strict neutrality his Majesty is determined. to mi,iittain in the disputes of some of those Powers. ‘vith their former subjects, observes, that all acts of hostility by individuals, subjects of this realm, against any of those Powers, are calculated to • call in question the sincerity of his Majesty's de claration of neutrality, and to provoke those Powers to make reprisals on the persons and pro perty of his Majesty's- subjects. It notices next - the war between the Ottoman Porte and the Greeks, and the attempts that are making to fit out 'ships. of war and privateers in Bri tish ports, commanded and manned •by British office-rs a nd , seamen, to cruize against the Ottoman Porte; 'which -render it necessary to enforce the • provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act, which prohibits all his Majesty's subjects from enlisting into foreign service, or fitting out or equipping, in his Majesty's dominions, vessels for warlike put poses, without his Majesty's leave. His,Majesty, therefore, being desirous of preserving to his sub. jests the blessings of peace which they now so happily enjoy, commands them. not to take any part in the said contest,' nor infringe this law, the violation of which is a misdemeanour, and will on Conviction subject the offenders to fine _and imprisonment. All ships engaged for such war like purposes are forfeited, and all officers of his Majesty's forces and customs are charged to seize them wherever they may .be found. [TILE PUBLIC LEDGER:I The long-spoken of Proclamation, for enforcing the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Bill, appears in the Gazette of last night. This mea sure, which will appear so harsh to the friends of the Greek cause, was agreed upon at the Council held at Windsor on Friday last ;- and it was no doubt the subject of the long and frequent deliberations of the Cabinet, which had been held sometime before. From this last circumstance, it may be fairly presumed that there was much conflict of opinion in the Cabinet; and from Lord Liverpool proceeding, the day before the Coon• cil, to Windsor, for the purpose of preparing the King for the result, another inference may be drawn, which any man of the least penetration will be able, without our aid, to divine. It is obviously a sacrifice to what is called expediency, and one of thise decisions in-which argument is obliged to yield to 'numbers. The reasons alleged in the Proclamation are specious enough ; but If our policy had been always directed by specious motives, in opposition to principle and generosity, we should have never emerged from a state of mediocrity. Had we always consulted conveni ence, in preference to considerations of a high and comprehensive utility, we should have re. mained stationary, like so many other nations vi - ho have followed the same rule. The Consti. tution would never have arrived at its present perfection, and the Stuarts would be now seated on the throne of these realms, cramping by the legitimacy of their ruler as well as by their fa vourite doctrine of political expediency, the resources of the country at home, and the dis- play of her energies abroad. The best excuse for the measure is the hacknied one, that it is a concession to the desire of maintaining peace ; 1 though. we are not at all persuade d that it is a valid one, for we are not aware of any Foreign Power that would provoke a ,quarrel with. this country, because a handful of British subjects were preparing to join the Greeks, and to follow-an example handed down to them from generation to generation, and which . had its origin in the best and most glorious period of " English history. The .Porte is the only Go. vernment so ignorant of the spirit of our In stitutions, and of the character of the nation, as to he capable of- acting,•in this -headstrong manner ; and the question is • then, whether a concession, inconsistent . with the great prin ciples upon which our prosperity as a nation is based, ought to have been made to the preju dices of that Power? For the honour of the British character, we hope and trust that it was not _respect for Turkish' prejudice, or apprehen sion,orTurkish hostility, that has.given .birth to :his measure; but that it- has originated ina-ho, mane consideration for the lives and property of soclt•of !our countrymen as reside in the Turkish dominions, and who would be exposed to the blind vengeance of that people in theevent of hostilities. This Proclamation decides the question of the G reek Protectorate, and is rather-an ungracious return to that people for-their-offer to place their des tinies in the - hands of 'England. It will , give Aka t nation' great pain as soon:.as it is known ; and its tendency-to . paralyze its,energies intbis frig4iful struggte - cannot - bei-d 'enied: However, the know ledge of it will transpire too late to have muchAu - fluence on the presen-t-cainvaign, which wilt be on the. plaint of -terminating..by, the time it reaches Greece.: The chief , injury, it will .occasion wilt be to - 'I/reveal' the departure, of the' naval force in tended - far the use of the Greeks, and' which is. , -nearly , ready for sailing.. It. -cansists,..we understand, of four-- steam-vessels, constructed upon the most aporoved-principle, and'so formed as'ne:be'capahie cd.carryit44- gulls of. the heaviest metal. These• will' new be • d etained ; and 3 in addition-to this disappointment,. another awaits: theGitektii,in the-prevention of, Lord. C.Ocitrane joining them, as his.

[THE TIVIES:I The Gazelle of last night contained the import ant Proclamation against the interference of Bri tish subjects in the warfare of foreign States at peace with his Majesty, to which we adverted some days as then on the point of being issued. This prohibitory document is dated Windsor, Sept. 30. After reciting the King's declaration of neutrality, and suggesting that if British sub jects contravene such declarations, not only might the sincerity of this Government be reasonably questioned, but the peaceable and unoffending among its subjects in foreign parts might be expos ed to unavoidable violence by way of retaliation for acts in which they had no share, it goes on with a specific allusion to the contest now subsisting between the Porte and the Greeks, and to the certain intelligence received by Government that attempts are making to induce certain of his Ma jesty's subjects to fit out, ships of war, and to serve in them under the flag of Greece, to the capture and spoliation of Turkish property. The proclamation then points out the direct contradic tion of such proceedings to the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Bill, which are detailed at a length rather inconvenient to the reader ; and concludes by commanding that no person what ever shall take part in any of the conflicts re ferred to, under pain of incurring the penalties imposed by the statute., Then• follows imme diately an Order in Council, reciting the 27th of George 11., and forbidding the exportation of cannon, mortars, shot, or shells of any description during the next six months from the date of the order. No mention is here made of small arms, an omission, however, of little moment, if the supplies of real value, viz. ships, cannon, naval ammunition, and seamen, be withheld from the unfortunate Greeks. It is stated that some ves sels laden with warlike stores did actually sail within this day or two, apprehending the order to restrain them : but with such exceptions, un less in defiance of the law, we fear that all hope of British assistance to the Greek cause must be considered as terminating. Whatever may have been the secret motives or policy of the En listment Bill, there seems to be one argument adduced by Ministe'rs to justify the course which they are now adopting, and only one that con. tains a shadow of title to notice—we mean the dread of retaliatory violence from the resent ment of the Power annoyed by our reinforce ments to the Greeks, for those British sub jects who are domiciled in the Turkish empire, and for that portion of the national interests which may be involved in theirs. To this consi deration we are willing to allow whatever weight may properly belong to it, premising only, that it is the Foreign Enlistment Bill which furnishes the infidels with their sole pretence for regarding any number of Englishmen as abandoned to the mercy of foreigners, without, an- effectual claim upon their natural Sovereign for protection.— That bill was the voluntary, and, in our mind, ' the meddling and mischievous work of Mini sters. It, however, lends only a semblance, and no substance of force to the argument now brought forward. Even those subjects of the King of England, who might, in open violation of the Establishment law, give their personal aid to the Greeks, could' not , fairly be held to forfeit the protection of their own Government in cases where violence not authorised by the law of nations might chance , to be exercised upon them by Turkey. Specific penalties are provided by the statute : these the illegal volunteers on behalf of Greece must of course be satisfied to undergo ; but. any undue outrage inflicted upon them by the Ottomans, the British Government is still bound to punish. — Much more are peaceful British merchants en titled to the active protection of their country, and to such an interference in their favour as would deter any Turk,whether Bashaw or simple Janissary, from molesting them. What Lord Cochrane's resolution will be, the world are no doubt anxious to conjecture. [MORNING ,HERALD.] We this day publish : an important Proclarna, tion which has just appeared, and which is singu-. lar .so far as England is concerned. This Pro.. clamation, we have no doubt, is the result ; of, all 'the Cabinet Councils which have recently . been held, and...the event has proved tha.t the dissolu tion of Parliament . was not the . subject ,under, deliberation, as , we before stated, though an Evening, contemporary seemed to ,question the accuracy of our information. During the last fortnight or three weeks Lord Strangford has come regularly to town.. froM his residence at " , ,ronbridge Wells, . and has had frequent con ferences. with the Ministers upon the import ant question to . which the Proclamation. re. fors. From our Portsmouth letter it appears that his Lordship is to . proceed immediately, to St.- Petersburgh, while Mr. Stratford Can- ning is destined for Constantinople, and both. diplomatists will ,doubtless take, out w ith them the decision that has just been . adopted by the Cabinet. England, it Appears, has determined not to iuterfere between -her old. ally and the in surgent provinces of Greece. In, our opinion, England would be no inure justified in any inter ference of the kind, however " great and glo- H u ns" the Greek `cCause" might, be, than Charles X. of France would be in taking up the cause of Jersey or Guernsey, supposing these little islands to have revolted from England: — Why should England psuvoke, the. enmity of a ptrwer that-ea w sway between 40 and 50. millions Uf;souls, and. lose the commercial advantages to ,;tie derived from the interchange of the com.rnot ditie-s.of the two nations, merely for the purpose of supporting two or three millions of people, .who'-have no arganisedfGovernmentl, and who are all' quarrelling among themselves, while their countryy_ is,. in . , a state of, comparative ruin ? It 'now only-remains lote.asked,,V,hat, will. become lof - the Greek-Scrip ?---The Proclamation has for the present given it a death-blow.—We should like to known what sort of e.rpose Mr. Hume will make when he lays his Greek Budget before the country. [BRITISII PRESS.] At the Council held at Windsor, on Friday, it was resolved to issue a Proclamation, enforcing the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act. This Proclamation was published in last night's GazOte, and will be found at length in a pre ceding; column.—After noticing the happy terms of peace and amity on which Great Britain is with the Powers of Europe and America, and the strict neutrality his 'Majesty is determined to main tain in the disputes of some of those Powers with their former subjects, it observes, that all acts of hostility by individuals, subjects of this realm, against any of those Powers are calculated to call in question the sincerity of his Majesty's declara tion of neutrality, and to provoke those powers to make reprisals on the persons and property of his Majesty's subjects. The proclamation then adverts to the war between the Otto Man Porte and the Greeks, and the attempts that are mak ing to fit out ships of war and privateers in Bri tish ports, and commanded and manned by Bri tish Officers and seamen, to cruise against the Ottoman Porte, contrary to the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act, which prohibits all his Majesty's subjects from enlisting into foreign ser vice, or fitting out or equipping, in his Majesty's dominions ; vessels for warlike purposes, without his Majesty's leave. His Majesty, therefore, commands all his subjects, that they do not take any part in the said contest, nor infringe this law, the violation of which is a misdemeanour, and will, on conviction, subject ,the offenders to fine and imprisonment. All ships engaged for such warlike purposes are liable to be forfeited, and all Officers of his Majesty's forces and customs are charged to seize them wherever they may be found. _ Another very uninteresting day passed on the Stock Exchange yesterday. In Consols, which opened at 88, sellers, there was scarcely any bu siness doing till towards four o'clock, when the market became much more cheerful, and several bargains were completed at 88,i, buyers, making an improvement on the day's business, which closed much more lightly than it commenced. Money was considerably easier.—The Foreign Market remained nearly stationary as to prices, and inactive as to business. The only difference in it was in Spanish Bonds, which were a shade worse, the old being done at 1611. En the new, some transactions took place at 121 13. The business in the Share Market was as unimportant as that in the Foreign Market.—ln Mincing lane very extensive business was done in Sugar, at full is. per cwt. advance. The Coffee sales were dull. The Exchanges were nearly sta tionary, and very little business was doing.— (Ibid.) DIORNING CHRONICLE.] The Proclamation, which bus for several days been expected, against fitting out ships of war or privateers against the Turks, or otherwise vio lating the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Bill, at length made its appearance in the Ga zette last night. The wording of the preamble bears s.utficient evidence of the quarter from which the application to enforce the law has been made : " And whereas the Ottoman Porte, a power at peace with his. Majesty, is, and has been for some years past, engaged in a contest with the Greeks, in which contest his Majesty has ob served a strict neutrality : And whereas great numbers of his Majesty's loyal subjects reside and carry on a beneficial com merce, and possess etablishments and enjoy privileges within the dominions ofthe Ottoman Porte, protected by the faith of treaties between his Majesty and that Power." The Government cannot certainly be accused of ,precipitation in taking this step. From the moment that so much notoriety was given to the ' arrangement with Lord Cochrane, it was no longer possible for Ministers to shut their eyes.— It has been supposed by some, that the object of giving this publicity was to force on an inter ference on the part of Government, which..would afford a pretext for withholding the remainder of the Loan. Others think that it was altoge ther a stock-jobbing ruse. When we consider the respectability of the parties. who originated the report, we cannot bring ourselves to believe that they would lend themselves to ,such very questionable conduct. Of the many distinguished individuals connect ed with the Silk Trade examined by the Com mittees of the Legislature, we observe that Mr. Hale alone took a part in the proceedings at the Meeting of Silk Manufacturers on Monday._ We cannot therefore consider that Meeting as by any means representing the Silk Manufac turers of the Metropolis. We. do not believe that there is that stagnation in the Silk Trade which is stated in the Resolutions. We see every where signs of a very ,different state of things. In Derbyshire, Cheshire, and Lanca shire, new establishments have lately sprung up; in. Suffolk and Essex the same thing has taken place ; and, within the last few months, the ma nufacture has been extending itself in the envi rons of the Metropolis.—(ibid.) [NEW 11 . 1?4e5,j. We have received American Papers to the 6th 'of September. They are altogether barren of po litical intelligence, except that the observation, of some Newspapers here about the Georgian affairs :appears to have raised the anger of the Transat !antic Editors. In allusion to some articles on that. subject in the Courier, the Aurora of Philadelphia remarks, that those who argue on a dissolution of the Union on such grounds are not wise. " th9se, who think the Union in danger deduce it," quoth the Aurora (Sept. 5), " from the movements' in Georgia, it will certainly turn out to be an unfortunate selection of arguments for its object, The result of the Georgia business will o n ly a dd a nother to the many previous practical p,roofs of the vigour and stability of the Federal Government, and of its capacity and power to guide the nation through every peril, whether foreign or domestic. We know of no, " states en,"tn at. present, on this side of the A tlantic, who believes in the heresy uttered by the Courier. If that Journal knows any such, it would " per form an acceptable service.by na ming them. All this may be very fine ; but, as the o ld p roverb says," time will tell !" A hundred years ago he would be looked on as a foul who had prophesied the existence of any such power at all as the very Republic in which these remarks are published. The yellow fever is raging still in the States with great vehemence. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Oct. 4 Whitehall, Oct. 4.

(From the Bombay Courier of April 23.) In our last we stated that there had been various and alarming reports regarding the state of affairs in Cutch, for which it appears there was some foundation, though we are happy to state that all is quiet again in that province. It ap.. pears that about the beginning of the present month, a large body of expatriated Mayannas, Scindians, and Rajpoots, who live in the desert north of the Runn, and who have been for many years in the habit of making free with the property of their surrounding neighbours, either instigated by the love of plunder, or forced from actual want of food, crossed the Runn, and entered the Cutch territories,where they took up a position, within fourteen miles of the capital, and sent out plundering parties to its very gates. Their numbers, object, and means of annoyance, were all, as usual, greatly e xaggerated; and the belief in the formidable nature of their force was not weakened by a defeat sustained by the Rao's troops, on which occasion a gun was taken by the enemy, and the General-in-Chief made prisoner. The object given out by the freebooters for entering the country was the dethronement of the present young Chief, and the restoration of the deposed Rao; to counteract the possibility of which prompt measures were adopted. The ex-Rao was removed into the Hill Fort, where the ladies, ' and (as our correspondent states) every thing else valuable; was placed in security. A detachment was also stationed in the palace, a strong inner fort; but the town itself had been rendered almost completely defenceless by the earthquake in 1820, which threw down almost the whole .of the forth. fications. After these dispositions had been completed, a de tachment compoSed of the flank companies of the 18th and 21st regiments, with a troop of the Ist cavalry, a detail of artillery, and 200 Arab infantry, marched on the evening of the sth, under Lieut.-Col. Dyson, to dislodge the enemy front their po sition. Soon after gunfire the freebooters. were discovered occu pying the fort of Bollaria and the ne i g hbouring hills. Some resistance was made in d e fence of a gun placed in a coMmand ing position below the fort, but which was soon carried by the light company of the 18th, under Captain Soppit. On the ar tillery being brought up, and a few shells thrown into the fort, it was .abandoned by the enemy, and immediately occupied by our sepbys. Upwards of a thousand head of cattle were found in the fort, but nothing else of any v alue. In this affair Capt. Soppit and two iepoys were slightly wounded. The rapid re treat of the enemy; andnhe nature of the g r ound, which was unfavourable to the operations of cavalry, enabled them to escape with little loss. On the 9th, a detachment of 300 sepoyS and a troop of ca valry, under Lieut.-Colonel Campbell, fell in again with the enemy near Joorun, and completely routed them, killing a con siderable number, and taking some prisoners, among whom was one of their principal chiefs. On t his o c casion, too, it is stated, if the ground had admitted of the cavalry acting with effect, the loss of the enemy, would have been very severe. A body of these Alayanuas and Scindians also made an attempt to,plunder Anjar, which, like Bhooj, had been reduced .to an open town by the earthquake, but they were discomfited by the Rao's troops employed .in its defence, arid, had ,one of their chiefs and several of their men killed. When our last letters were written the'cotintry appeared to be cleared of them, but we are sorry to say that before. they were dispersed they had succeeded in sending booty to a c o n siderable value to their haunts beyond the Runn. NVe beg to congratulate the ladies Cutchnn their being released from their couffnernent in' the Hill Fort, and on their being able to re-occupy their comfortable bungalows in crimp, which we trust they will not again be obliged fd abandon. We also mentioned in our last,. that the Bheels in.Candeish had again becOme tro ublesome. We are now happy to state, that Lieutenant Outram, with a detacinneritOf2Offmen from the 11th and 23d reginients, surprised the fort . of Moller; where a number of them had collected, on the night of the 6th inst, but e s usual, these nimble-feeted gentlemen , aided by the jungly and rugged nature of the country', escaped with little lose.— Lieutenant Outratn having again heard of a considerable num ber of them having assembled in the illeewass country, marched aga inst them, with a light detachment of 30 sepoys and was 25 horse. me n, but the latter, from the nature of the country, he obliged to leave behind. He arrived in si , ll tof their fires a little befor e d a wn, and got w ithi n a f e w paces of them, a chig alarmed them, and they dispersed into the jungle, which every. where surrounded them. The whole of their plunder, how ever, with a great lert of their antis, wets secured, and the bro. when the barking e e neighbouring hills, and an attempt ther-in-law of one of their chiefs, Rarna. Naique, taken. Inthe morning they were found collected in great numbers on the them through the prisoner who . had been taken, but without effect. Smaltparties were .tben. detached.against them, but to no purpose, as they would not stand, and as soon as the Ascent was made to negociate with of a hill was gained, theyffed down the opposite declivity. Some were killed, and many are reported to have been wounded; during these different attacks. FOR THE SUN. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. Mn.
