THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Dec. 2, 18?5. [NEW TIMES.] The Quotidienne of Tuesday makes, as usual, a violent attack on M. de Villele and his system. One part of the worthy Journalist's remarks is arousing. lie imagines that it is the creation of th.e French three per cents. that has pulled dawn all the Funds in Europe. This is really the fly ou the chariot wheel ! Why, the whole amount of the French three per cents. amounts to a small fractional part of the English Debt. The - writer in the Quotidienne would do well to con sult our article on Saturday last, where the true cause of the fall of the French Rentes is explain ed :—" Money," we said, " is like water, which will always find its level ; and the smaller mass will follow the impulse of the greater." The French Rentes fall because money becomes scarce in England. England is the chief money-market, and the chief money-market " regulates all other markets for money, just as the cotton-market of Liverpool or London regulates the price of cotton at Havre." As M. de Villele could not possibly prevent the scarcity of money here, he is not to be blamed for the fall of the Rentes, which is a mere consequence of our temporary embarrass ments. We are sorry that the Morning Chronicle should attempt to add to the present unseasonable alarm as to the state of public credit. Referring to a statement of the prosperous state of the Revenue, the Chronicle says—" We wish we could repose confidence in this. statement of the Revenue. From the information we have received, so far from there having been a growing increase as compared with a corresponding period last year, there has been, on the contrary, a very consider. bale falling off." The information which the Chronicle has received, respecting the financial state.of the country, is altogether erroneous. We repeat that the finances are flourishing and the - .lartional resources quite unimpaired.—(lbid.) [THE TIMES.] We have received foreign letters which are calculated to prepare us for an immediate recog nition of the Republic of Colombia by the French government. Indeed, it is affirmed- by one of our correspondents, that • the recognition took place above a week ago, without having been officially promulgated, or suffered to transpire but in confidence. If we hesitate to pledge ourselves absolutely for the above important fact, it is at the same time our duty to state that the assurance of it has reached us through a channel of much respectability, and that it is altogether in har mony with the recent tone of the ministerial journals under M. de Villele's influence. If France, while under the House of Bourbon, has been already brought to 'recognize a re publican government, built in ,spite of, and on the ruins of despotism, of the despotism too of rnother Bourbon, a double triumph has been gained for > the interests of civilized society. We can imagism no more forcible illustration of the increased ascendancy of one great saving principle over the political affairs of men ; than a sacrifice like this, of the charac "teristic spirit and master-passion of an abitrary Court to the simple grandeur of a moral neces sity imposed upon it by .the interests and intel ligence of its subjects. There is in this homage to the new-born freedom of ,South America, all that could humble the false pride of legitimacy, and subvert its whole system of argument, law, and practice. 'Every state-paper of every mem ber of every Congress, assembled under the au-, spices of the Holy. Alliance, and for the spread ing-of its impure power over the face of the world, here receives its death-blow from the hand of a renegado brother. If no political in stitution is to he tolerated but that which has been. established by some Royal will—if such, as we have heard from Princess and Ministers without number, be the very basis and first element of the Holy Alliance—why here, we say, is one which none of you can tolerate—which all of yon must *combine to crush, if there be honour in Kings or,fidelity in engagements. Colombia, nay America itselfi in every province, is under the ban of legitimacy ; it is all treason, all rebellion, all steeped in guilt, from Mexico to Cape Horn.— s7l;.e haS — rebelled against her lord and master— shetias presumed to fight, and beat, and extermi nate'the-regular soldiers of her lawful Sovereign hai wickedly dethroned him, and hurled audacious mockery and defiance at his right di- Vine; and indefeasible supremacy. Here, then, is a case, if evpr.one existed in the universe, for the application of principles to their obvious ends.-- Here is not a solitary institution, but a bundle - of institutions—a State—nay, a category of States— fotmded on that identical principle which the xoi r lilliitice,and the King of France as a mem ber of it; have declared to he inconsistent with th'e:safety of Sovereigns, and irredeemably con 'd,esOned' by them to destruction. If the Holy Al liance be faithful to its own pledge, it must make upon the rebel States of South America ; if it can dO nothing by hostilities or persuasion, to enforce its own system of politics upon man kind, why then it a helpless and ludicrous league—a confederacy of preachers, not of po tentates, his a thing either false in its pretences, or utterly' imbecile in its means. Instead, how ever, of this new democratic power being extin guished by the Holy Alliance, as, if it were an fieriest alliance, must have been at least attempt ed, we are about to find the most forward and criminal of the rebels, not endured only, but countenanced, leagued with, traded with, corre sponded." with •on equal terms 'of courtesy and amity, by the . prefix Chevalier of 'Monarchs ! We have said there is to be trade between France and' South America,' and this leads us' to the second branch of the victory obtained 'by na tions over Courtiers. The first was that of the principle of resistance which 'placed the House of Brunswick" on the English throne. The second is that Of the enlightened system of commerce, which the Government of George IV. has just established for his subjects, and which, we have the authority of French official newspapers for asserting, that all other states will be forced to imitate, if they ever hope to follow the march of England in public prosperity, even at that hum ble distance which still separates them from the sphere which traverses unrivalled. It was the prediction of Mr. iluskisson, and he deserves to have it faithfully remembered, that free trade would produce advantages to this country which would compel other States to follow her example. The prediction is verifying every day : the new code of commercial intercourse stands on truth and wisdom, and is formed of matter that will endure. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] We have received the Paris Papers of Tues day, and the . Etoile of Wednesday. The Rentes sustained another fall on the preceding day, but from no other apparent cause but that of sympa thy with our Funds; and, in this case, a re-action may be anticipated with the utmost confidence. Our Market may be denominated the Heart of the Monied World, as it is of the Commercial ; and whenever it is deranged, a derangement immediately follows in the pecuniary trans actions of all other nations, and vice yews.— According to the Etoile, the Spanish Clergy have at last opened their purses to relieve the pecuniary necessities of King Ferdinand ; and as they are never liberal in pecuniary matters, without hav ing previously secured an equivalent of some de scription, it is conjectured, naturally enough, that they have obtained a promise that no change shall be made in the present system, which, if it does'not work well for the people, works excel lently for the priesthood. The sum which Fer dinand is said to have secured in this manner amounts to twenty-five millions of reals, (about 230,000/. sterling) ; while, were he only to accommodate his Government to the wants of the nation and the wishes of its wisest men, he could obtain five times this sum, not once, but annually, from the same body ; and not by spoliation too, but in the legitimate course of taxation. It will be thus seen that the Spanish Monarch pays rather dearly for the gratification of playing the despot, and for the pleasure of trampling the intellect and moral worth of the nation in the dust, he is minus four-fifths in a single branch of his income. Thus this infatuated Prince, whilst he thinks himself the vicegerent of God, and exacts the same belief from others, cannot see his way the length of his nose ; all his expedients, too, are taken at random, or selected according to some absurd rule or notion of his own. It would be less difficult, therefore, to rear the tea plant and cotton tree on the bleak hills of Scotland, than to make the slightest im provement in the condition of Spain under the guidance of her present Monarch ; and to hope, therefore, for a favourable change there as long as he lives, or is in the exercise of an unrestricted authority, is as wild as the day dream of a mad man. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Paris journals of Tuesday have arrived, with the Etoile dated the following day. • The morning papers are almost entirely all' filled with reports of the Speech of M. Merlthou in defence of the Courier Francais -It is stated that M. Benjamin Constant is dangerously - ill. Several accounts are given of the sailing of the Turco- Egyptian armament from Alexandria. They all agree in representing it as of fearful magnitude. According to the lowest estimate it consisted of nearly 10,000 disciplined' ttoopS, commanded, we repeat it with pairi'attd - indignation, by' Euro pean officers, principally , Frenchmen, The plan of the campaign, it stated, was transmitted from Constantinople, and. the .-base renegades in • the Egyptian service. boastedi we trust falsely, that " - itfr had .been furnished by an European Ambassador.'! It is useless, however, to indulge either in lamentation or invective. The patriots will soon have to encounter dangers far. more formidable than any they have yet had to contend with. If they can maintain themselves against this attack, they will be.safe. It is not in the power of the Paella of Egypt to fit out such another expedition. We do not despair of the cause of Greece. We have extracted an absurd article from the Quotidienne, relative to the deline of the French funds, as a sample of the shallow and factious style in which political subjects are treated by the Royalists opposed to M. de Villele. The writer of the Quotidienne pretends that the whole depression is owing to the creation of the three per cents., and gravely asserts that that disastrous measure, extending its effects across the Channel, has been produc tive of the fall of Stocks in this country. The decline in. Paris on Tuesday was very great.- The five per cents., which closed on Monday at 93f. 90c., were reduced on Tuesday to 91f. 50c., and the three per cents. suffered a further depression from 63f. to 61f. tsc. [MORNING POST.] We received last night,. by express. French Papers to the 30th ult. and the Etoile of Wed ttelay. The continued decline of the public fends, which had become as rapid in the Fives as in the Three per Cents. is of course the en grossing subject of every Journal. Those of the Ultras (and even the moderate opposition Royalists are become Ultras on this occasion), teem with exultation at the realization of their oft-repeated prophecies, and at the anticipated overthrow of the present Ministry. For this is evidently the point at which they aim. Every lower quotation, they conceive, brings down power and places to their level. The Liberals, on the other hand, who have no hopes of profit ing by the discomfiture of the Administration, also claim credit for their prophetic foresight, but express something like patriotic regret at the fa tal., confirmation which it is receiving. " We -have announced these sad results," say they through the Constitutionnel, " but we are far from congratulating ourselves upon them.— ' We should always wish to deceive our selves, when we predict events injurious to public prosperity." The Ultras and the Roy alists do not take the.trouhle to feign regret. They see the ministry shaken, and- endeavour to lay it prostrate by furious and repeated blows. It is indeed difficult to believe that M. de Villele or any Statesman in his situation should long be able to resist the violence with which he is as saulted, backed as it is by the total defeat of his financial plans. The following extract from the Quotidienne will give an idea of the perseve rance and energy with which the warfare against the present Administration is waged : " The fall of the Funds continues with frightful rapidity. All the Stocks feel the deplorable effects of the system. The creation of the Three per Cents. bears its fruits ; it acts upon all the Funds not only of France but of Europe ; even the Five per Cents., that old Stock which, for this year past, remained almost invariable, stripped of its amortissement in contempt of solemn words of M. de Villele, yield to the circumstances which want of foresight has created ; yet it must be said, and repeated, without ceasing, the emis sion of the Three per Cents. has produced or ac celerated all those results. It is in vain to tell us that the fall is common to all Europe; for this is taking the effect for the cause : since what moment does this fall appear in its terrible rapidity ?—and what is there in common between the slow and insensible fall of the funds of Europe, before the system and the immense decline of them, all since the unhappy concep tion of the French Minister? Twenty-four mil lions of Rentes, at 3 per Cent., endowed with the whole of the amortissenzent fall in precipitate ruin ; the Five per Cents. follow, and perhaps the lightest action of the amortissement would havArrested their fall. Thus our gloomy pre dictions are accomplished—thus Royalist opinion has the pain to see the grand idea of restoration put to the hazard. How ill have the royal inten tions of the Monarch been accomplished by those who have precipitated our beautiful coun try into new misfortunes ! Yet let France and the emigrants take courage. The Throne, the source of all good, the hope of the unfortunate, will repair our distresses ; let u' address our prayers to it ; it will compre hend the wants of France, devoted and suppli cant, and which is in vain calumniated to deceive it. The Chambers will second the Royal thoughts of the Crown ; let our King say a word and many consciences long repressed will freely express the wish of a whole people. For the rest the time for argument is past : opinions have become facts, and arguments arithme tical figures, and then facts and figures ac cuse the administration, which has prepared so many misfortunes add committed so many faults. Let M. Villele lay his hand on his conscience, let him see there, where is the cause of the decline of our credit ; let him as himself whether it is in his power to deliver us from the abyss which his imprudence has dug. In our present critical si tuation we have reason to wonder that the Moni teur and the Etoile, lately so fertile in words to entice the creditors of the State to a fatal conver sion, which now do not even deign to calm the public alarm in the name of this Ministry, which appears on this occasion to employ the organs of its thoughts only to mislead opinion." rMORNING CIIIIONICLE.j The Address from the expatriated Irishmen of New York to the People of Ireland, has pro duced, as we anticipated, a very strong sensation in that country. The Dublin Morning Register observes, "We do not recollect an instance where the publication of a single document had ever produced so strong an effect on the public mind of this country, as the Address from New York has created." The contrast, indeed, between the circumstances in which these exiles are now placed, and those of their country men, is too forcibly drawn not to have keenly agitated so exciteable a people as the Irish.- To one part of the Address we deVoted more attention than to the rest, namely, that in which Dr. Mac nevin endeavours to demonstrate the advantage the Irish would derive from a Legislature sitting in Dublin for the discussion of local matters, sub ject to the controul of the great Imperial Legis lature. The feeling against the Union has always been so strong in Ireland, that. it hardly required the example of the advantages derived by the United States from a general and from local le gislations to make this advice palateable. We can hardly wonder at the unpopularity of the Union in Ireland, when we consider that the im provement of that country seems to have been arrested by that measure ; and we are sure, if the people of England knew their own interest, they would wi,h to free Parliament from details which, in Ireland, and all the Colo nies, couid be more advantageously discussed in local legislatures. In those of our Colonies in which there are no Houses of Assembly, we have a despotism approaching to oriental; and though Ireland, from proximity, is not a field in which the same degree of arbitrary power can be exercised, yet many abuses would he checked in a local legislature, the knowledge of which, in spite of all our Commissions, never reaches us. - [MORNING HERALD.] We trust that our efforts relative to the Turn pike System round London will not have been wholly unavailing. The Hyde Park Gate is driven a little farther off, though by no means far enough; and we now perceive that notice is given of an intended application to Parliament fora new Act to regulate the road leading from Oxford street to Uxbridge, in which a clause is to he in troduced " to exempt certain carriages from toll." What the nature or extent of the proposed exemp tion is to be, we are not told ; but we presume that it is intended, in some degree at least, to obviate the intolerable grievance experienced by persons living a short way down the road, who, as we have frequently pointed out, actually pay almost as much toll for going less than one mile upon it, in a hackney roach, as a chaise and pair travel ling all the way from Piccadilly to Hounslow. The Tyburn Gate, it should be remembered, has nothing to do with the Uxbridge Trust ; but is put there, as we are informed, to enable the Trustees of the Edgeware-road to pay 5001. a year to the pai:ish of Marlebone towards the paving of Oxford-street. We give the managers of the Uxbridge road due credit for, at length, yield ing to public opinion on the subject. We will not say that they are making a virtue of necessity ; but this we will say, that merely exempting hackney coaches from the toll will not be sufficient ; it would, indeed, be partial and ridiculous. No thing ,but the removal of the two first turnpike gates on this road can, or ought to satisfy the public, especially that part of it who live on the road. And we strongly recommend this latter not to be lulled into security by any specious promises that are held out ; but to meet and petitionParlia went upon the subject ; and not to allow those trus tees to legislate for themselves, as is too much the case in passing Private Acts. WP trust that the whole subject will be brought before the House of Commons the next Session, and that effectual means will be taken to rid the inha bitants of the metropolis, not only of the high tolls on this particular road, but of Turnpike Gates altogether. LONDON BRIDGE.—The following account of the first London Bridge, built of stone, is from STOWE'S Survey of London :—" A ferry being kept in the place where the bridge now is built, at iength the ferryman and his wife deceasing, left the said ferry to their only daughter, a maiden named Mary, which with the goods left by her parents, as also with the profits rising of the said ferry, built a house of sisters, in the place where now standeth the east part of St. Mary Overie's church 4 above the quire, where she was buried ; unto which house she gave the profits and oversighs of the ferry. But afterwards the said house of sisters being converted into a college of priests, the priests built the bridge of timber, as all other great bridges of the land were, and from time to time kept the same in good reparations, till at length considering the great charges of re pairing the same, there was, by the aid of the citi zens and others,a bridge built with arches of stone. Now,touching the foundation of the stone-hridge,it followeth thus :—About the year 1176, the stone bridge over the river of Thames, at London, was begun to be founded by Peter, of Cole-church, near unto the bridge of timber, but somewhat more towards the west, for I read that Botolph wharf was, in the Conqueror's time at the head of London Bridge. The King assisted this work, a Cardinal then being legate here ; and Richard, Arbishop of Canterbury,gave one thousand marks towards the foundation. The course of the river, for the time, was turned another way about, by a trench cast fot that purpose, beginning, as is supposed, east about Rotherhithe, and ending in the west about Patricksey, now called Battersea, This work, to wit, the arches, chapel, and stone bridge over the Thames, at London, having been 38 years in building, as, in the year 1209, finished by the worthy merchants of London, Serie Mercer, William Almaine, and Benedict Botewright, principal masters of the work, for Peter of Cole-church, deceased four years before the work was finished, and was buried in the chapel built on the same bridge in the year 1205." BEAas.—A North American Paper states, that bears have appeared lately in great numbers in the vicinity of Penobscot, in the State of Maine. The following is an account of an attack made by one of them upon an inhabitant of that dis trict :—A few evenings since, Mr. Adam Inman, of Orono, on his way home from this place, when about two miles distance, was alarmed by a rust. ling among the uuderbush near the road in which he was travelling. On listening, he was con vinced that some wild animal had scented the provisions with which his pack was stowed, and was making haste to partake of them. He im mediately faced about, dropped on one knee, and presented his f 0%% ling-piece, ►ell charged with ball and buck shot, determined not to give up the hard-earned fruits of his industry to the freebooter without a struggle to protect them. The animal made his way directly to the road, and rapidly advanced upon his wary enemy. Inman, knowing from his footsteps that he was near (though the extreme dark ness of the night prevented him from seeing him) inclined his head as near the ground as possible, in the hope of getting a sight of the foe before he should close with him. In a moment a bear, blacker than the shades that surrounded him, and one of the largest of the species, reared on his hind feet immediately before - him, and with open mouth rushed upon his prey. At this critical moment Inman's presence of mind did not for. sake him, but, deliberately levelling his piece, he shot the sable robber through the heart, and laid him dead at his feet. So near was the bear, that his hair was burnt by the powder of Mr. Inman's gun. His weight was '250 lb. and his skin measures nearly six feet in length." LONGEVITY.—There have been buried in the parish of Blewberry, Berks, within twelve months, two persons 92 years of age, and one 93. The writer of this was riding along the turnpike-road some time since, and hearing the bell give notice of a death, inquired of an old man at work on the road, who was dead ? The old man said, with a sigh, it was his mother. How old are you ? Seventy-two was the reply. How old is your eldest son ? I have two sons above fifty years of ege, and grand-children al most out of number ; and my mother, who now lies dead, is upwards of ninety-three years of age.—( Reading Mercury.) BIRTHS.
