THE LONDON JOURNALS. DALIN Extractsfrom the Morning Papers,Jan. 12, 1825. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] Yesterday it was very currently reported, that Portugal had formally recognised the independ ence of the Brazils, and that :Sir C. Stuart, our late Ambassador at Paris, would proceed imme diately to Rio Janeiro, to act at that Court as the Representative oe' England.—We do not know the exact degree of credit that may be due to these rumours ; but this we know, that the former recommends itself by its probability, and that the latter would have, in consequence, a similar r ecommendation. It is utterly inconsistent with common sense to suppose, that the Court of Lisbon would repel the friendly offices of our own on this subject, and particularly, that it would despise its most obvious interests. To pretend to recover Brazil by force, would be so mischievous an illusion that the servant of the King of Portugal who would insiston its practica bility, would be worthy of a strait waistcoat. Such an attempt, if pertinaciously prosecuted, would involve that kingdom in irreparable difficul tieS and disgrace, and occasion, in all proba bility, another revolution. In addition to the loss of sovereignty, it would be the means of extin guishing those commercial relations which Portu gal might henceforth cultivate to great advantage with her former Colony. It might, besides, dis solve the close alliance which has so long subsist ed between her and this country, as it would he ridiculous to suppose that our Government would so far involve itself as to maintain a close con nexion with a Power that could risk every thing to pursue a Will-o'-the-Wisp speculation. At the same time the English Cabinet, however well inclined towards Portugal, on account of the an cient friendship subsisting between the two coun tries, would necessarily take umbrage at seeing its recommendations slighted, and those of the Holy Alliance preferred. From that moment she would sink from a Power of some consideration in the European system - to the level of Naples, with the prospect of becoming a province of Spain, whenever the latter should recover from her un natural lethargy. Should ever the Spanish na tion regenerate itself, and Portugal be plunged at that time into the state ordegradation we have just mentioned, the present division of the Penin sula into two States would soon cease ; and, for Portugal to retain her sovereignty, it is essential that she should avoid, as the greatest of all evils, the politics of the ultra school of legitimacy, and cultivate, on the contrary, as enlightened a policy as possible. With her admirable facilities for trade, and, with a population hardy and patient, and which might be rendered eminently industrious by ktutelary Government, she might attain to a con siderable degree of prosperity if her resources were but properly cultivated. However, all hopes of this kind would he illusory, unless she were to settle her differences with the Brazils in the only manner in ohich•they are capable of be irig adjusted ; and on this account we are strongly disposed to believe that she has taken this pru dent resolution already. This would be another triumph of British influence, and its gratification would be heightened by tho reflection, that it would be the means of rescuing an ancient ally from the disasters into which a false step might have irretrievably plunged him. Thus the whole of the New World, with its inexhaustible wealth, and boundless field for commercial en terprise, would be secured beyond the chance 'of accident, to the operations of British capital, skill, and industry ; whilst its friendship would form a counterpoise to the anti-social 'anti anti-commercial league of the Old World. That league could not flourish, and England re tain her , present grandeur; and, as it is essential to the one that our greatness and liberties should expire, so it should be the constant aim of the other to put down that odious confederacy. The consolidation of the new interests that have sprung up in Americk is one of the most stunning blows that could be given to the European sys tem, as it is called ; and fur ,this service alone, by which the universal spread of despotism is prevented, our Government is entitled to the gratitude of all mankind. The triumph . of good principles is no longer a problem, but an absolute certainty ; and as our character of a great,- wealthy, and free nation, is in separably connected with that triumph, his Majesty's Government, in having secured it, has established for itself a new claim to the at tachment and confidence of its 'objects. It has brought about this grand result with a degree of skill and address, which are worthy of the highest admiration ; and while all the other great Powers had the deepest interest - to defeat, its efforts, it has rendered all this opposition inef fectual, without leaving even a solid pretext to its opponeuts.for taking umbrage at its conduct. It has, besides, the vantage-ground in the coot°. very ; and those very Powers whose favorite system of government depended on the issue, must still pretend to admit that the conduct of the British Cabinet was perfectly justifiable. I n the meantime our power and welfare as a nation have received new guarantees of their duration; whilst our grow ing prosperity will be a beacon to all nations to light themin their pursuit of improvement. What a proud * and at the same time safe, position does this country at .{s resent occupy How much more dignified and prosperous does her situa tion • promise to be There is no reign in our history that exceeds this in solid glory ; and the future Historian, in tracing the cause, will discern it in the ,restoration of those prin. siples which have placed the present Family ou the , Throne. Qur policy, at least abroad, is now wholly regulated by those principles ; and their application to Ireland is alone want ing, to assimilate our domestic measures to the same standard. It would be mere drivelling, howester, to suppose that a reign, which is already distinguished by so much liberality, will suffer this anomaly to continue much longer ; and it will he Said of. this reign, or we greatly err, that its policy, at home and abroad, was as much dis tinguished for its uniformity as. for the vast iu ftuence and unparalleled prosperity which flowed from it to the nation, [TUE TIMES] We received last night the French papers of Suuday. The project of law for indemnifying the emigrants, which has already been canvassed in every saloon of Paris, excited on Saturday a short but animated discussion in that most noisy of all saloons the Chamber of Deputies. The subject was introduced to the notice of the Cham ber by a petition from a proprietor of the de partment of Eure et Loire; and the petitioner without, probably, being aware of the strength of his cause—pointed out the objectionable character of the proposed cneasure,as consisting in its partial ity. In a revolutionary storm like that which passed over France,every class of society suffered; and it is now proposed only to indemnify one, and that one, probably, the least deserving. The hut of the peasant was deprived of its fairest hopes —the trade of the merchant was destroyed—the coffers of the capitalist were plundered—neither the wealth of the rich nor the modest competence of the poorer classes were respected ; and yet only one class, who deserted the vessel of the State when in danger, and who did not return till the tempest had subsided, came in to claim their pro perty undiminished from the wreck. " No," said the King's Commissioner in introducing the project, " the Government is not partial; but " the case of the emigrants is peculiar. Other " classes of the nation may have lost a portion of " their property in these times of violence and " rapacity, but the emigrants lost all." Now the case stated by the petitioner, though not in tended as an answer to this argument, deprives it of its chief force. He had purchased the pro perty which belonged to an emigrant, and on the return of the latter did not, indeed, restore his purchase, but conceiving that he was not very safe in possession under the present Government, he entered into an arrangement with the old pro prietor, who personally consented to the sale, and in this way confirmed the charter. Here the emigrant did not lose all his property as has been pretended, and yet he is to be indem nified in full, while the honest or timorous acqztereur, who paid the purchase-money twice, is to receive no indemnity at all. This acquereur now beseeches the Chamber to consider his case, and to place him on the list of sufferers for the amount of the sum which he paid to the emigrant. This natural and not unreasonable demand was received with fury by the Ultras. One of them talked of the petitioner as a person who, in buy ing State property offered to sale, had commit ted a robbery ; and of the indemnified emigrant as the victim of his rapacity ; abusing at the same time the Abbe de Pradt, who had himself been an emigrant, for having- written lately against the justice and policy of a grant, in the benefits ofwhich he must participate. This orator was answered with great warmth by a member of the left side ; and after some further discussion which can have little interest on this aide of the Channel, the, order of the day was passed on the petition. A petition from; some persons who had been unjustly banished by the Governor of Martinique was disposed of in the same way, and the Chamber adjourned. These journals contain nothing else of any interest, unless we consider in t h ai light their expressions of opinion and feeling on the announce ment of the recognition of the South American States by our Government. The Journal des .IN hats bursts into an oxplosion of indignation against Villele, informing us that Mr. Canning plays better than he, and that the latter has now done what he did not dare to do when . the French'' armies were triumphant in Spain. If this excel lent Journal were not a little blinded by its pre sent hostility to its former friend, it would see that our policy in the case has been independent of the state of affairs in France—that Mr. Can ning's game has long been a secret to nobody, and that if he has succeeded in giving check to the Holy AlFance, he has not concealed his moves to mislea4 his antagonists. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] N. M. Rothschild, Esq. in conjunction with Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., is confidently rumoured to have been the successful candidate for the remainder of the Brazilian Loan, and thus the interest of a powerful party is added to that. (equally respectable) of the late contractors, in support of the credit of the - new independent Brazilian Empire. This money is to be paid to Portugal, for the acknowledgment of a fact which his Most Faithful Majesty cannot deny, and it is attended by a commercial treaty betwixt .the kingdom of Portugal and the empire of the Brazils, which will confer greater benefits on both, than could ever have been obtained under the old system of the Mother Country and distant Colonies. His Britannic Majesty has also acknowledged the sovereignty of the Bra zilian Empire, and Sir Charles Stuart is-appoint ed his Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary at the Court of Rio de Janeiro. Sir Charles is in timately acquainted with the politics of Portugal, and also with those of France, having for many years been the Representative of his Majesty at these Courts, and it is impossible that a Diplo matist could have been selected more capable of. performing the important duties of his Bri tannic Majesty's Minister in Brazils. Thus are the principles of independence, civilization, and free trade daily gaining ground—princi ples, the practice of whit.}► will hand down to posterity the name of Mr. Canning, and will ren der the reign of George the Fourth far more splendid than has been his Regency. In Brazi lian Bonds, the improvement since Monday was not less than Three per Cent. ; Buenos Ayres Six per Cent. Bonds have reached 971. The ra tification of a cornn►ercial treaty betwixt this Republic and Great Britain is expected to arrive by the next packet, now daily looked for. Co. lonpian Bonds were yesterday One per Cent. dearer than they were on the preceding day. In .those of Mexico, although they were dearer, there was a less important improvement. Chi- Han Bonds were dull, and did not undergo any alteration in their value. The same may be said of those of th►e Republic of Peru. Greek Bonds were fully as dear as they were on Monday, and would be in much higher credit if greater con cord prevailed amongst the Chiefs of Grecian independence. Experience, however, the great teacher, will before long convince them of the necessity of sacrificing private feeling to public good. No business has been done iu Austrian Bonds ; but those of Naples were one-half per cent. lower. Spanish Bonds have experienced a decline of one-half per cent., which is excessive, considering that they rank with that description of palm which is sometimes thought worthy of preservation for the sake of curiosity. [MORNING POST.] The observations which we made on Monday on the superiority of our own Constitution, com pared with that of the United States, have re ceived an apt confirmation and illustration in the papers respecting the Slave Trade, which we pub lished yesterday. That part of them for which we are indebted to the American Authorities, are absolute curiosities, in diplomacy and State af fairs. In the first place, we find the Senate of Washington undoing what its own accredited Minister himself had originally proposed ; and in the next, we have Mr. Quincy Adams offi cially, informing Mr. Rush, that the President differs tolo cwlo from the Senate on the subject, with an intimation that he, Mr. Adams, concur red with Messrs. Monroe and Rush. A Con stitution which admits the Legislative, the Exe cutive, and Diplomatic Members of a Govern ment, thus to jar with each other, and as a matter of necessity makes the fact known to the other nations of the world, cannot, we pre sume, be a model of perfection. On the con trary, we should say ) that a machine which works so tardily,and withal so awkwardly and discord antly, so far from being worthy of imitation,stands itself in need of revision and correction. In expressing this opinion, we really are uninflu enced by the accidental indignity which the zeal of his Majesty and his• advisers in the cause of humanity, gave the Senate of the United States an opportunity of offering to the Crown of Great Britain. Had the treaty in question anywise re lated to time interests of England, such an oppor tunity would not have been afforded ; but being one for the specific purpose of securing the liberty and contributing to the happiness of the poor ignorant African race, towards whom this coun try feels a disinterested and pious friend ship, our benign and gracious Monarch waved something of etiquette, and warmly set an example to the people of America which Kings would have honoured themselves in following. But the Se uate knew not how to appreciate the benevolent act, and have cast a stigma upon their own feel ings, and upon the character of their own country, which cannot be too soon wiped off. What, be sides, has been the consequence ? That even in such a sacred cause the strict forms of Sovereignty will be hereafter observed, and his Majesty's rati fication withheld, until the American Legislature shall have first revised the stipulations of its Mi nisters, and exhausted the right to make any objection: The terms, however, in which Mr. Secretary Canning has stated this determination, land expounded the evils of the system that was pursued, leave us nothing to add, but our ardent admiration of the whole of that Right Hon. Gentleman's letter to Mr. Rush. The North Americans, indeed, are children in knowledge of the sound principles of a free Government, if they do not remedy the defect in their Constitution, from which, in this instance, a delay so greatly to be deplored has on such frivolous scruples arisen. By being over jealous of the power of their own servants, they are ene mies to their own welfare. If the President he not adequate to the ratification of treaties, he is not adequate to discharge the other executive functions of the nation. Were Mr. Monroe a Minister of England, and if possible treated by Parliament, as the Senate has treated him, the result must have been his instant resignation. But such could not take place ; for our Constitu tion entrusts full power to the Ministers of the Crown, and then holds them responsible for its' exercise: In short, there is no other mode by which a free Government can proceed smoothly, effectively, and respectably. [BRITISII PRESS.] The fever of speculation which raged on Mon day in the American mining shares, has, we are glad to find, begun to subside, and, with the re turning sobriety of the public mind, there has been a coresponding decline in the nominal va lue of these attractive adventures. There was an average fall of at least 25 per cent. yester day on all the shares that were in the market. No business was done in the Real del Monte project ; the shdreholders who had asked 1,5001. on Mon day being, we- believe, yesterday afraid of of fering to sell at all, on account of the ludicrous contrast the prices they would realise would make with the lofty demands of the preceding day : according to the old adage, however, it is very probable that they may go further and fare worse. It is not likely now that the delu sion is long its power—that prices even so good as those of yesterday will again be attainable., The decline, w4s expect, will yet be greater. These are tot_ the times when bubbles like the South Sea scheme can be blown, and thousands of ignorant persons duped out of their property by the artifices of daring speculators. The prPss is now ready to canvass and expose every attempt to work upon public credulity, and the success of imposture must necessarily be very limited both in extent and duration. It gives us pleasure to know that w e have contributed to allay the insane ardour that was prevailing in respect of these Mining, Companies.. The check they sustained yester day may be justly regarded as one of the bene ficial effects of the vigilant and enlightened con trout exercised by the daily Press over the public welfare. General principles are too commonly neglected in the consideration of particular mea sures, or the purchasers of these shares would, if they had known any thing of the subject of their speculations, have been aware that the larger their profits, the sooner they would be at an end. The deereciation of value that results from the increase of the precious metals, is fatal, in the nature of things, to those dreams of boundless wealth in which all mining speculators have in dulged. Montesquieu, in treating of the causes of the decay of Spain, which he ascribes to these very American mines, observes, " As the specie of Europe soon doubled, the profit of Spain di minished in the same proportion, and the Spa niards had every year but the same quantity of a metal which was become by one half less precious. In doubl e th e time, th e sp ec i e s till doubl e d, an d `the profit still diminished another half, and even more." He adds afterwards, " but if mines should be discovered so fruitful as to give a much greater profit, the more fruitful they will be the sooner the profit will cease." But perhaps, after all, as facts speak more eloquently than words, we think it not amiss just now to look back to what passed in this city a little more than a century ago, when the mania for schemes raged in its utmost ful ness, unlimited by any of the circumstances to which we have before alluded. The strength of the delusion respecting the great bubble of that day is thus described in 44 A pplebee's Journal" of August 5, 1720:—" Our South Sea equi pages increase every day : the city Ladies buy South Sea jewels ; hire South Sea maids ; and take new country South Sea houses ; the Gentlemen set up South Sea coaches, and buy South Sea estates, that they neither exa mine the situation, the nature or quality of the soil, or price of the purchase, only the annual rent and the title; for the rest, they take all by the lump, and give forty to fifty years' purchase. This has brought so many estates to market, that the number of land-jobbers begin to increase to a great degr . ee, almost equal to the stock jobbers we had before."—Parliament had pre viously interfered to crush the petty frauds, which had multiplied to an amazing amount. According to a calculation in a number of the London Weekly Packet for January, 1720, it appears that the stocks proposed to be raised by these schemes exceeded 8,000,000/., " above twice as much," adds the journalist, " as the current coin of the nation, nay, more than the third part of all the payments the circulation of that cur rent coin performs in the whole kingdom." In the same paper there is a list of ninety of these schemes. [sticsv TIMES.] It is quite unnecessary for us to re-assert that attachment to Constitutional Liberty, the decla ration of which was one of our earliest claims to public confidence. Still less can it be requisite that we should remind our readers of the manner in which we have heretofore applied the principles of Liberty and of the Constitution to our view of the Catholic Ques tion ; but that view will be considerably al tered if a large majority of our Catholic fel low-subjects set themselves in array against the Constitution, and if the wiser and better part of the Catholic Body be irresistibly carried along with the torrent of factious violence. We look upon the Catholic Association of Ireland to be in spirit, if not in letter, illegal ; to be clearly un constitutional ; to be dangerous to the public peace; and, above all, to he fatal to the just and reasonable hopes of the Catholics themselves. In Ireland the influence of the Catholic Aristo cracy is wholly annihilated. Most truly is it observed by a respectable Cotemporary, 44 that the expression recorded of Mr. O'Connell by the official paper of the Association, The Dublin Evening Post, is a very remarkable one." That expression was, that " the Catholic Aristocracy sent in their adhesion." In our view of this phrase, nothing can be more insulting to the men of birth and station among the Catholics. It holds them out as a weak and intimidated body, who would fain keep away from the Association if they dared, and who have in deed kept away as long as they dared ; but who are now compelled as it were to surrender at discretion, to fall into the ranks of the Asso ciation soinewhere in the rear, and to march un known and undistinguished among the crowd that follows the standard of the Dublin Bar risters. We lay it down as a Constitutional , prifiCiple, a principle essentially conservative of the peace and good of society, that in all great public movements, whether of the nation, of a party, or of a sect, the Aris tocratical portion of the Body should take the lead. The only alternative is that the mob can govern no otherwise than through the agency of demagogues. Now it does appear to us that the Catholic Association, however ostensibly coloured, is nothing more than the power of the mob in Ireland, guided and directed by the favourites of the mob for the time being. These individuals cannot retain the favour they have acquired but by fresh extra vagances daily ; and every new extravagance involves them deeper and deeper in inconsistency. [MORNING HERALD.] Our report from Hatton Garden Police Office, in Monday's Paper, prescribed a striking in stance of the uncertainty of our criminal laws, and of the opposite modes of administering jus tice on the very same spot, at nearly one and the same moment. In one case a wretched being, impelled by hunger to purloin a loaf, is committed for trial ; while in the other, a young man for stealing a twelfth-cake, was permit ted, on the intercession of the prosecutor, to go at large ! We do not mean to pass any judgment upon either of the Magistrates upon these occasions (both of whom, we have no doubt, acted from their sense of what was right), fur ther than to observe that the one seems to pre-' sent an instance of that stoic apathy which may, well become a stern dispenser of rigid justice— the other, to possess those feelings and sympa thies towards the errors of our common nature, which are derived from an intercourse with the better part of mankind, as well as from a know ledge of the frailties which flesh is heir to. The sterner Magistrate has the law on his side ; the other, that which is above all law—human nature. It is desirable, however, that there should be something like uniformity in these matters, and that criminal justice at least should not be a loll ing dependent on the education, the prejudice, or the right or wrong feelings of Magistrates. For merly, we believe, it was held, that a Magistrate had no power to release a person charged with fe lony, even tho' his innocence were apparent. That idea, as well it might, has long since, however, been exploded ; and it is quite notorious that Magistrates now-a-days discharge many more persons than they commit. At the same time, it must be admitted that, strictly speaking, the pre rogative of mercy is not with the Magistrate, who may therefore perhaps be justified in abstaining from its exercise. But on the other hand, in the dense population of the metropolis, and amongst the numerous petty offenders who must every day be detected, it is surely right that the rigour of the law should be softened down, and that a direction to do this should be lodged with those whose character for discretion should be one of their chief recommendations to office. A power to overlook trifling offences, ju diciously exercised, would be of infinitely more use both to the community and individuals, than the present practices, both in London and else where, of crowding the prisons with petty of fenders, who nine times in ten, even under the most improved system of prison discipline, pass through them as schools in which they be come hardened and expert at crime. I t is here that the discrimination and right feeling of the Magistrate is called for ; and, without meaning to allude harshly to any one, it is to these quali ties that sufficient attention has not at all times been paid to their selection.
