LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the 31uhang Pajiers, Ma 1,825. [MORNING Cif " • • . The Singapore Chronicle contains several mas terly articles on the commerce .and agriculture. of that rapidly growing settlement, which even, already is one of the most important.of our.pesses sions. Would it be believed that the exports from this settlement from January to December, , 1823, amount to the very large sum of Five Mil lions, five hundred and sixty-eight thoitsand five hundred and sixty Spanish dollars? The trade consists of five distinct branches that, with Great Britain, with Bengal, and other parts of Western India, with China, native and Europeans, with Siam and Cochin China, with the distant! commercial tribes of the Indian Archipelago' itself, &C. In 1822, - four ' ships only cleared out for London ; in 1823, the number Nadi increased to nine. In 1822, the value of British piece goods imported, was, iu Spanish dollars; 265,054 ; in 1823, they had' risen to 1,064,380 ; and the exports were in pro portion. The increase of the trade with China, Siam, and Cochin China, is on a corresponding scale. We shall, on a future -day, give some:of these statements at length. They more than.cor roborate the views of Mr. Crawford, ~:and some other subsequent witnesses, examined by' -the Lords' ComMittee on ForeignTratle,. awl') the increase of which the commerce with:the:lndian Isles was susceptible. These are the mines which will repay the expellee of exploring. . We were the first to inform our readers, that after various meetings of the Cabinet upon the subject, his Majesty's Ministers bad resolved upon a Dissolution of Parliament during the pre sent year. Objections were taken against this determination in the highest quarter, and Ministers gave way. Recent events, however, have led to the revision of this determination, and we learn from good authority, that early in June the pre sent Parliament will separate to meet no more. The General Election will take placeimmediately after the Assizes are over, and terminatate before the harvest.--(Aid.) [BRITISH PRESS.] • Letters and Papers have been received from Bombay to the 26th of December. In another column we have given the dispatches of Lieut.- Colonel Deacon, commanding the detachment by which the fort of Kittoor was captured. It. ap pears that after the enemy had agreed to capi , tulate, a treacherous attempt was made to induce Major Trewman, the Commander of the ad vanced posts, to enter the wicket alone; but as he suspected the atrocious design, the works ,were finally taken by escalade.. The defence was conducted so obstinately, that the keys of the gates were not surrendered till the British troops had obtained possession of the Palace.— Our loss was trifling in numbers, but much aggra vated by the death of Mr. Monroe, of the civil service, who was wounded in driving the enemy from an advanced post. News L. I been received from Singapore, announcing the death ol the King of Siam. His successor bad resolved to throw open the trade of that country to all foreign merchants without distinction. A report reached the Marquis of Hastings, after that ves sel had left the sands at Bombay, that a whole regiment of Sepoys had abandoned their duty and gone over to the Burmese ; but no particulars were stated, and the story was considered to be without the least foundation. Many wild rumours had been current, and this was regarded as one of the least credible of those to which morbid speculation had given birth. [NEW TI M ES.] The recent occurrences in India have given occasion to a very able article on the present state of that country, in 131ackwood's Magazine. The writer, who subscribes himself, " An Old Indian," displays much originality of thought, and a more than ordinary acquaintance with the details of his subject; and though we differ from him on many important points, yet we confess his arguments on others deserve serious considera tion. W e cannot indeed admit, that the Burmese war was either " madly" or " unjustly" entered into; nor is this very material, for he allows that " 6 being begun, it must be prosecuted to a close," and " that little doubt can be entertained of the issue." The more important branch of inquiry is that which relates to the supposed causes of the mutiny at Barrackpore, and the death of Mr. Thackeray—events which, though they probably had not the slightest connection with each other, the Old Indian ascribes to a common feeling of discontent at our sway. t 6 Never was any sys tern of Government less adapted to the condition and sentiments of the governed," says this writer,. " than is that which prevails in British India to the sentiments and opinions of the Bin doos." Be it so ; but it is desirable, for the good of the Hindoos themselves, that their sentiments and opinions should dictate th e system of their Government ? Is it desirable' that a Government, founded on the indelible dis tinctions of caste, and connected with a barbaroul and degrading idolatry, should determine the destinies of a hundred millions of human beings ? Assuredly not. This system of Government (a system perfectly consistent with the sentiments and opinions of the Hindoos) has been found incapable of protecting them against the inva sions of Greeks, Persians, Tartars, Mohamme. dans, Christians—and on the other hand a Government of Foreigners, of Invaders, of Conquerors, differing from the native popu lation in origin, language, habits, laws, and religion, has, upon the whole, given them, what they never obtained from their native Chieftains, protection and security. It does ap 7 pear to us absurd to argue that the vices of the Indian character are owing entirely to our mis government. For ages before they knew us they were brutalized by the most senseless supersti. s o the general v e found ave. tion, and degraded by the most arbitrary d es . rage, potisrn. be w Su ea ct k i .m m i e nded nmu a n t d , n immoral. them so ; and the onlyjust charge that cart be brought against us is, that we have not
