Tia; LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Mor n ing Palters, Sept. 16, 182.5. • [MORNING POST.] We received last night by express French Papers to the 14th inst. and the Etoile of Wed nesday. - Now that apprehensions are entertained of Greece_ placing herself under our protection, all countries will probably be as anxious and fer vent in their offers of assistance, as they have hitherto proved indifferent or even hostile.— ' Already does the avowed organ .of the French Government,. the Etoile, blazon forth the aid sent 'from France to the Greeks since the Go vernment has been in possession of the intelli gence from Napoli di Romania. We are now, openly told that a " party of old officers, sub alterns, and workmen of the artillery, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Maxirne Raybaud, and Capt. Arnault, of the artillery, and carrying with them every thing necessary for the establishment of a cannon foundry and a yard for ship building, sailed from 'Marseilles on the sth inst." The question which a few have raised in this country with.respect to the projected expedition of Lord Cochrane to Greece, is thus decided in the affir mative by the example of France. An auxiliary force, composed of officers actually holding a rank in her service, has been permitted to quit her ports, with the avowed object of assisting Greece. It is true that they are sent by the Parisian Greek Committee and not by the Go vernment, but this only serves to render the two cases more perfectly identical. For his Lord ship's expedition is also the work of a Committee —the London Greek Committee. There can be, therefore, no future difficulty upon this point ; for if France, so backward hitherto, has sud denly gone so far, we cannot incur blame for hastening to follow. Hesitation, or delay that is not absolutely necessary, would alone be• ob noxious to just censure. Now that the political feeling towards the Greeks is changed, from ai motive which is not quite so honourable to• the converts as we could wish, the late attempts to increase the darkness of their horizon have ceased. Whatever exertions they made, what ever successes they obtained, it had become the practice of Journals which ought at least to have been neutral, to misrepresent or to deny. Now on the contrary all is made smiling and favour able. The army of Redsehid Pacha has been overtaken in its flight and dispersed ; the Greeks of Candia have once more risen in arms : the Mainottes have re-occupied Calamata, which Ibrahim Pacha had burned, and there fore interposes between him and all future reinforcements. A corps of l'2oo Arabs, which he had left at Nisi, has been entirely de stroyed ; and tvhilst Colocotroni and Pietro Bey, reconciled, unite their respective forces to surround the Ravager of the Morea, Goura ad vances from Greece Proper with his Itoumeliotes to attack him, and the plague having manifested itself at Modon and in Caudia, compels hiin to draw a cordon against his own reinforcements in the Morea, and prevents the assembling of others in Ancient Crete. We sincerely trust that all these statements, with the exception of that re latively to the plague, will turn out to be correct to• their fullest. extent. But there-is now an evi dent disposition to represent the affairs of the Greeks as in a Ilearishing condition, in order to make it appear unnecessary and unjustifiable in us to accept their offer and to interfere in their', behalf. Against the exaggerations which suet' a disposition is likely to produce, it now behoves us to be on our guard, however gratifying they may be to our feelings. [BRITISH: PELESS.] The French Papers which arrived last night contain some curious and interesting details re specting the alleged solicitation of the Greeks for the protection of the English Government. — Some of the facts stated are so obviously untrue, that we can give no credit to any of them till they are confirmed by. more authentic intelligence.— It is said, for example, that the English " have distributed in all the islands very urgent procla mations, po'itively inviting the Greeks to give themselves up to them ;" and again, that " on the 6th of August a Greek expedition sailed from Napoli di Romania for Crete, consisting of eight large mistics, a- brig and a schooner, with 8,000 troops on board, paid by Commodore Hamilton, doubtless with the last loan received from London." Every body must see that these extravagant assertions are wholly destitute of foundation. The neutrality professed by the English Government has hitherto been, and no doubt. will continue to be, strictly and honourably observed. Yet here the English Government, to what end no one can imagine, is representmd to have " thrown off the mask," and taken a sudden, active, and decided part in the' war! It is, perhaps-, true, that under the mo mentary pressure of despair, the Greek Govern ment'deerned it advisable, in case of the last ex-' treavity, to solicit the intervention and protec tion of England.; but all the rest of the narra tive of tfir :toile we must for the present:reject, es:the offspring of the fertile invention of some of-those writers of Greek news, who have enter, Mined us at different times with so many won- - dello! achievements which have never occurred. Welrame4lothing new from Spain. The Memo rial Bordelais says that the Trappist has been found-dead in his bed in the convent where' he, was confined by order of the Government. It is remarked that Ferdinand is quite fortunate in getting rid 'of 'his royalist enemies. The Baron . d'Eroles died the other day of apoplexy, and the - Trappist is found dead in his bed ! It was hardly. necessary to have executed Bessieres. He too would. probably have died suddenly if be had bpen committed to some safe place.of con. finement,.where nobody would have known how he wasAreated. The reports are still current that the "French f6rce will shortly return into the Penin sula. • The, ludicateur de Bordeaux contains a letter- from Bayonne, dated the 7th instant, in which there are accounts of the manceuvres of the troops encamped under the walls of that city. The Minister of War was expected there on the 18th or 20th ; and it was generally understood that 25,000 or 30,000 men would cross the Bi dassoa at the close of the year. The statement in the Journal de Paris respecting the successful conclusion of a negociation for a new Spanish loan, is wholly void of truth. The French Funds are again declining, in sympathy, we supposei with our own. The Five per Cents. ex. div. were, at the close of the market on Tuesday, 99f. 50c.; and the Three per Cents. 71f. 45c. On the 22d of this month, the registers of the conversions into the new stock of Four and a Half per Cent. will be closed. At present, the amount of these conversions does not exceed 600,000 francs, and they have not yet - been quoted at any price. This is certainly a striking failure ; but, indeed, what motive can the ren tiers have to reduce their annuities one half per cent., in order to secure themselves for ten years against a re-payment which is less likely to take place every day [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] For the twentieth time, the report is renewed at Paris, that the terms of a Loan for Spain have been agreed upon, betvfeen certain French Capitalists and a. Mr. Tassin, who is stated to enjoy the full confidence of King Ferdinand. It is added also, that the Ambassadors of the Powers in alliance with Spain are well inclined to sup port, with all their influence, the success of this financial operation. As we do not hear a syl lable mentioned of recognizing the Loan to the Cortes, we take leave to doubt the correctness of this, as regards the Ambassador of one friendly Power at least. Till the beloved Ferdinand is brought so far to a sense of justice, as to acknow ledge the Constitutional Loans, it would be a most glaring suicidal act of the French, or any other C4pitalist, to intrust him with a single far thing more of their money. [NEW TIMES.] The French Papers are filled with the most laughable stories of our interference with respect to Greece. The Quotidienne informs us that 5,000 English troops have arrived at Malta, in order to aid the views of England on that valua ble possession, the Morea. Also we learn that Commodore Hamilton has promised the Greeks 1'50,000 piastres, on the condition that they would carry on the war against Ibrahim Pacha. An English Admiral is to make his appear ance, without delay, in the Levant, with a man-of-war and three frigates. (This, we may remark, shews the idea which the Greeks en tertain of the number of vessels requisite to overthrow the Turkish power.) But the most delicious piece of information of the whole is, that the Hydriotes and Spezziotes (respecta ble Powers !) demanded of Commodore Ha milton to hoist the English flag over them ; to which the Commodore re - plied, that although England could not support them so openly, she would most efficaciously do so in private. The joke in the Rovers is nothing to this.— Let us sing a chorus, says • one of the heroes of that celebrated tragedy, to conceal our presence. Still better is Commodore Hamilton's secret; don't mention it, says the Commodore,. we shall help you most particularly ; it is requisite, how ever, that it should be a secret, and therefore only publish it in all the European papers. We shall tight the Turks and defeat them, without giving them a hint that we have done it. What description of blockheads is it that is deceived by such stories as these ? It appears that the Bank of France are following the example of the Bank of England, in withdrawing their advances on stock. This circumstance a writer in tl►e Quoti• dienne reasonably enough assigns as one chief cause of the present low prices of the French funds.. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Journal des Dards of Tuesday contains an admirable article signed T. L., on the Con ferences of the Bishop of Hermopolis, a work begun in 1803, and continued to the present time. Why, says the writer, are these works sent to us ? It seems it was convenient for the Ministers of Religion to hold a language with respect to examination of doctrines, when M. de Frayssir►ous commenced his labours, which it would not he convenient to hold at present, and thus the first volumes are utterly at variance with the last. lie began by declaring, " Reli gio❑ does not dread the open day ; she loves to show herself uncovered ; she challenges exami nation—she even commands it." But France was not then Catholic, is seems, and " a liberty of examination is only allowed to those to whom it is proposed that they should change their reli gion, as Pagans, or Protestants, but not when we are addressing Catholics." Bossuet did not, as said in this article, hesitate, in his conference 'with Claude, to call children who had once been baptized infidels, if they even doubted, though they should have received no instruction since that first sacrament. " Strengthened by the au thority of Bossuet (says 'l'. L.) I own that I was a little disconcerted by this right of examination so liberally granted in the Conferences,and by other concessions, made with a certain prodigality ; not that I dreaded any thing for myself ; but I had fears fur young persons who might perhaps be one day at a loss to decide bet Wee - the Bishop of Meaux and the Bishop of Hermopolis. This uneasiness pursued me, and distressed me in the reading of the first volumes. Fortunately, the last volume has completely tranquillized me. cannot express with what satisfaction I found, with respect to this right of examination, a doc trine contrary to the opening discourse—a doc trine supported by such strong reasonings, that I felt the concession at first made was merely to justify the tone of the first Conferencts, and pre pare men's minds to allow them to be led by him." The persiflage throughout the article is in the same happy vein ; and, indeed, it is impos sible to prove more successfully the inconsistency ;and thorough knavery of the Catholic Clergy of France. This Bishop. Of Hermopolis preceded Dr. Magee in the pious wish to retain the people in ignorance. They ought to be better ac quai►:ted with each other. [MORNING. HERALD.] • • • In the granting of places by Ministeri,, or va cancies occurring, there is not always that at tendon paid to the economical filling of them ' whiCh might be desired, nor that anxiety (occa sionally professed in the House of Commons) to meet the claims of meritorious individuals by ad vancing them from half-pay, and almost whole starvation, as opportunities may present them selves. Thus, we are informed, an individual (we name him not, because the act, not the per son, is complained of) has been appointed to the Alien station at Gravesend, held by the late Captain Walsh, also as head of the stations connected with the Alien department at the Port of Leigh and Sheerness; he likewise has the office on the Flamer gun-brig, stationed off Gravesend, attached to the Customs, and these appointments are centured in one person, who previously held, and still holds an office at the head-quarters of the Alien department in Lon don. Now, if we are correctly informed dn this subject—and we have no reason to question our authority—it must be tolerably obvious that this one individual cannot be personally present at all these places, in London, at Gravesend, the Port of Leigh and Sheerness. To the individual we have no special objection—indeed we believe there is every reason to say that he has been at once a zealous and a useful public servant; but surely this multiplication of offices in one person, previ ously well provided for, is not very praise-worthy, while there are so many equally meritorious per sons now lingering on• miserable half-pay. Had the appointments taken such direction, they would have reflected quite es much credit on Government, and would have been as satisfac tory to the nation. We should be glad to learn that we have been misinformed ; but it is stated to us that the individual has appeared at Graves end, with his new appointments. The Alien Act was passed in May 1824, for two years ; but though it may be permitted to expire (while its equally amiable twin brother " the preventive" lives), Mr. Secretary Peel plainly intimated that in such case he should propose some general re gulations regarding foreigners ; so that there is not much chance of the extinction of the Alien Department in reality, though it may be mulcted in name. The appointments, therefore, are an object of considerable consequence, because they are things that are likely to last ; and a plura lity of office-holdings, especially where half-pay Officers might be brought into useful service, ought not to be countenanced by the Govern ment, so long as efficient persons were to be found on such list, the half-pay ceasing on the individuals going into full duty and remuneration. This principle ought to be rigidly adhered to ; there may be some, there cannot be many justi fiable exceptions to it. Besides, ever since Cap tain Walsh's death, which happened at least a year ago, the duties at Gravesend, &c. were per formed by the late Captain 1V .'s deputy. Does not that tend to show "hat further appointments were unnecessary ? TIMES.] A meeting of the barony of Condons and Clongibbons, was held at Fermoy on Saturday last. The intent of the meeting was to petition Parliament on behalf of the Catholics of the em pire. Lord Kingston, who is proprietor of half the barony, was chairman of the meeting. The petitions, prepared by a Committee, were much in the spirit of those excellent resolutions which had been adopted by the Peers at Buckingham house, and were finally carried, with but two dissentients—viz., Lord Mountcashel, nephew of Lord Kingston, and General Barry, who may, perhaps, for aught we are aware of, be a brave soldier and a good man, but is evi dently not entitled, as an orator or statesman, to any high place in history. We refer to the speech of Lord Mountcashel, because it points out, not unsatisfactory, the limits with in which an opposition to the Catholics Claims now seems to confine itself among ais classes 'of the Irish, except the downright unmiti gated Orangeman. The Noble Lord attempted no attack upon the principle of Catholic Eman cipation. Ile objected to the petition as being " too vague." But it is 'not surely the business of petitioners to dictate to the Legislature the details of measures, of which they recommend the adoption in the gross. His Lordship objected to the time of preparing this petition, as being ill chosen with a view to the spirit of anti-Popery, which now exists in England. On this point it seems not improbable that many sincere friends of the Catholic cause might be disposed to agree with Lord Montcashel. It has often appeared to us a most important considera tion for the cause of Catholic relief, that its advocates should recollect the different classes of enemies whom it was their business to conciliate. The Irish anti-Catholic has not for many years been assailable by the same description of argument which would influence most powerfully the mind of his English neigh bour. Speaking generally, as we ought to do on questions of wide concern, it may be alleged that the Irish anti-Catholic was a less conscienti ous opponent of emancipation than the English —that the former only felt for his monopoly, the latter for liberty and his faith. So long as the mere justice of the Catholic cause was the ar gument addressed to the Irish Parliament and aris tocracy, so lots; the question made no sensible progress. Selfish interest was the ground of the exclusion in Ireland ever since the extinction of the House of Stuart ; and it was vain to urge against such a feeling any modes of reasoning that did not recommend the relief of the Ca tholics upon selfish motives. This has been done. The uninterrupted disturbances of the country have shewn the Irish Protestants their interest under a point of view for which but ten years since they were very little prepared. Fears for their own safety have effected the thing wished for, when the sense of duty did not. The Irish Protestants are now, we believe, as ten to one in favour of emancipation, because they are within the enemy's fire, and peace is essential to the secu rity of their lives and fortunes. Menaces, there fore, and hostile demonstrations have performed their part in the sister country. The Catholics 'there have succeeded. Not more than a miserable fourth or fifth of the re presentatives of Ireland _oppose their countrymen. There is loseti(ltis answer by working a questi9n on the spot where it has already triumphed. England still remains, in great part, unconverted upon this question. It is to the people of England, therefore, that the efforts of the Catholics ought to be henceforth turned ; and against the English people it is ob vious, that the same weapons which subdued the Irish Protestant, will be altogether impotent and vain. The English are too distant from the nightly attacks and daily menaces which have wrought with such effect in Ireland, to feel them. They are a people too proud of spirit, and too confident in their own tried strength, to be intimidated. There is no Napoleon at the gate, nor do there now exist in Europe materials out of which domestic danger can in any definite time be fabricated against the British nation. Have done, therefore, with acting upon that which has no real existence—the fears of John Bull for Ire. land ; with a new enemy, vary the mode of war. 1 fare—scare, if you will, the weak and tyrannical 1 —reason with the powerful, the sober-minded, and the just. There is abundant experience, positive and negative, to guide the Catholics in the course of policy which we are recommending them to pursue towards the people of England. The Saurin rebellion of 1822 did not produce in this country the shadow of alarm. The intern. , perance of the Association excited displeasure ; it was made the subject of angry, not timorous '1 legislation, and a theme of argumentative reproach against the Catholics. The leaders of the body came over here. They were examined before both Houses of Parliament. Evidence—open evidence—unrestrained, but quiet and civilized discussion made innumerable converts to emanci pation among the reflecting portion of the Eng lish auditors and readers. Anti-popery took fright, and has been for some months labouring to re-animate the half-worn-out prejudices of this country against the Catholics. The turbulence, the intemperance, of that body—their Jesuits (we wish the Jesuits were all a thousand miles from the United Kingdom)—the acrimony and vindictive fury—the undefined ambition of their demagogues—their attempts to revive the mis chievous and unconstitutional spirit of the old association—their threats and boastings about the six millions—their abuse of the Pro testant Church and its Ministers ;—these topics are all dwelt upon, and here and there suc cessfully dwelt upon, by the enemies of Ca tholic freedom, with a view to the choice of members of the new Parliament. ‘Vhat then is our summary of the whole question ? It is this—the battle is actually won in Ireland— but here on English ground it is still to , be con tested. Let the Catholics, then, address their minds to it, as if they had had none but English opponents, and not use weapons which are inap plicable to the new combat, although they may have conquered with them on another field. The question can henceforth be carried by reason ing and by mildness, only. If the Catholics, looking towards England, are at a loss how to act, our advice to them is, at present " Do nothing." Awaken no new disgusts. If you throw into the stomach of a 'bilious patient a fresh load of the aliment which has already disturbed it, you but " increase his choler," wait, then, for the coming l'arliament ; as we once before hinted, go to sleep. Do not provoke the constituents here to put anti-Catholic tests to candidates more enlightened and liberal than themselves ; but let your secret friends come in unfettered. Differing widely from Lord Mon t castle! in the general tone and spirit of his sentiments towards the Catholics, we- wistr with. him- that an other time had been chosen for this Fermoy peti tion. In Ireland there was no point wanting to be carried—in England the wisdom is to make no effort yet. In the first session of the ensuing Parliament, bring the unanimity of Ireland, Pro testant and Catholic, to bear, if you will, upon the common• sense of England, and crush the table of both Houses under the weight of their joint petitions. Daniel O'Connell, Esqrs., and the rest of them, grate harshly at this moment upon Englishmen's ears. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. TRIAL OF WILLIAM CPRISTIVIAS. Yesterday William Christmas, aged 29, by profession a clerk, was put to the bar, on an indictment charging him with embezzling, in the City of London, ten Exchequer 13i1ls, value 1001. each, the property of Henry Merrick Hoare and others, his employers. There was also a detainer lodged against him for embezzling a Bank note, value 301., the property of Henry Merrick Hoare and others, his partners, on the 22d day of September last, at the parish of St. Dunstan-in-the-West. The prisoner, who was very genteelly dressed, entered the Court, accompanied by a professional gentleman. He held in his hand a bundle of papers, and pleaded " not guilty" in ra ther a faltering tone. Mr. I..Aw opened the case for the prosecution. Mr. Serjeant BosaxcwET stated the case to the jury, and called the following witnesses : Mr. Henry Merrick Hoare examined from the Bench.—l am one of the partners in the house of Messrs. Hoare. They con sist of Henry Hoare, Charles Hoare, Hugh Hoare, and Henry Merrick liceue. The prisoner was intrusted as clerk to receive sums of money. It was his business to carry the Exchequer bills to the office, for the purpose of their being exchanged. A notice was sent from the office, and he then made out a list, which he took with the bills to the Exchequer-office. The bills in question were accordingly made out in September last. lie left the employment in June last. By 31r(IIRODEltrcx.—The bills were deposited at the Bank for security, and the partners had no right to use them, The prisoner had been in the house many years, and bore an excel lent character. He came when sent for. By Sir. LAM—The house has the power of exchanging the old for new bills, as they are paid off. Mr. Hugh Richard Hoare examined, 1 am the nephew of the last witness. In September lest I looked out the Exche quer-bills, for the prisoner to take them to the Exchequer. I did not take any account of them, as that was the prisoner's duty. liy the RECORDER.—I had no list; I looked out all the notes of September 22. I merely handed the . Exchequer-bills to the prisoner of that date. Many of them had been deposited in the house by the customers. Sir. Holmes Snelgar examined by Mr. Law--I am an officer employed in the Audit-office, Somerset-house. I pro duce a list of Exchequer-bills transmitted to our office from Messrs. Hoare. The amount of the two lists is 475,400/. ; the lists specify the number and date of the bills. The manner in I which a demand for new bills and interest was made, was by the person whose hand -writing appeared at the bottom of the list signing a receipt ; the words were, " Received the 22d of Sept. the bills as speci fi e d w i t hi n , w i t h i nteres t." 111 r. Merrick Hoare again examined—The list of the old as well as the new bills is in the hand-writing of the prisoner. John Henry Latham examined by Mr. Serjeant Bosal.r- QuET—ln the payment of Exchequer Bills, he paid off a number in September, to the prisoner. He gave him new for old ones. The amount of the principal was 475,400/. ; of the interest 14,262/. For which the prisoner received : - 165 bills for 1,0001. each ; .129 5001. each ; 116 2001. each ; and 227 for 1001. each. Witness did not compare the Exchequer Bills with any account, but he had every reason to believe them to be the same. lie gave the prisoner all that he demanded.— The book now produced is one in which all new bills are copied. It contains err eon t of all the bills issued and to tho whom. It also contains an account of those delivered sad prisoner en the 22d of September last for Messrs 11,""- Company.
