Tim LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from . the,Norning Papers, Feb. 9, 1825. [THE TIMES.] •- The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night. They have got two subjects of discussion, on which they are not sparing of remark—namely, Ilse ministerial revolution at Lisbon, and the King of England's speech at the opening of Par liament. It will not appear by any means sin gular, that these two things should be connected together, when it is considered that in the latter the recognition of South American independence is a principal topic of interest, and the former is supposed to be brought about with the inten tion of securing that of Brazil. The Etoile, which clamoured so loudly, and reasoned so absurdly, against the admission of the new republics to the rank of Independent States, now discovers that our recognition of them is a matter of no moment to us or them, and that it can lead to no import ant consequences as respects the other European Powers. With regard to the change of the Ca binet in Portugal, the same paper has found out that it will turn entirely to the advantage of the Holy Alliance. This political optimism is a happy doctrine both for ultra journalists and their employers, when no hope can be enter tained from successful opposition. It is pro bably to give his formal assent to this con soling tenet, that Prince 'Metternich is zoming to Paris! Let us hope, therefore, that they are sincere in their conversion, and that we shall hear Ao more the abusive, terms of insurgents, rebels, and revolutionists, applied to the respectable rulers of the American Republics. In the Quotiedienne we find a letter, dated Lisbon, 23d ult. which contains some details respect ing the late change of ;Ministry, and the character of the new Ministers. The dismissal of the late Cabinet is ascribed, not to English influence, but to internal disunion; and Sir W. A'Court is.stated -not to have known of the change till late in the day when took place. Pinheiro, who was Mi nister in the time of the Cortes, is stated to have Tiefused his new appointrrient, from a fear of ex c...ting the hostility of. the Royalists. Torres, who is appointed Minister of Marine, is described as a man little known in Portugal, and not much -..tcquainted with public affairs; while great praise is bestowed on hello, the new Minister of Fi nance. This Paper beseeches-the Holy Alliance. to be firm, and England will abandon the trans . Atlantic States as shefabandonerliti t eTeninsula two yearsago..To such an anticipation, founded on such'reasoning, we have no other answer to make, than _that England has more power on the ocean than on the Pyrenees, and the Atlantic is broader than theßidassoa. ,eillt ONICLE-] !

For instance, they eefer to the - third — article :of the Treaty of.

PRESS] The Marquis of Latisdown, pursuant to the nalice he gave on Monday evening, moved, last n ight, for the production of " Copies of all dis-. .ivitches sent-by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, relative to the origin, progress, and nature of the ~,r4 i o us and political Societies of that country, and their conequencet." The Noble Lord founded his motion on the argument, that as Par liament is to be called u p o n to provide against the danger that exists in Ireland, it ought to be put into possession of all the official information that Government can-furnish. This proposition was, we need hardly sa y, ingenio usly ill us t ra t e d aid ably supported. by the Noble Marquis, whose greatialents amply qualify him to do jus tice to every subject on which he addresses hit Peers. But ingenious and able as was the speech by which the motion was introduced,' the clear and impressive reply of the Earl of Liverpool carried conviction to all who heard him, as we have no doubt the Report of his speech will, to all who read it, that the required information could not be praporly submitted to Parliament on the question'it would have to con sider. Where a measure is rendered necessary by particular facts, an inquiry must take place to satisfy the conscience of the Legislature; but where a Bill is founded on general principles, it would be idle and ridiculous to go into an inves ►ization of every circumstance that may be affect ed by it, connected with the proposed change. In such a case Parliament must act upon its ownknow ledge. This was what it did with respect to the Orange Associations two years ago, and what it will now lie called upon to do with respect to the Catholic Association. Lord Liverpool said truly, that " if the measure to be Propased rested on official information—if it rested. oiily on the confidence that ought to be reposed in the Go vernment—if it rested solely upon the responsibi lity of his Majesty's Ministers, it might be a fair case for asking information." But the discussion will turn les.: on what the Catholic Association has actually done, —though all that is perhaps as well known to the Opposition as to his Majesty's Ministers themselves,—than on the. effects calcu lated to result in the present state of Ireland from associations so constructed. This was what Parliament considered when it legislated to put 1 down the Orange Societies as they were then constituted ; and the same rule will now be in justice applied to the Catholic Association. On the division of the House the motion was nega tived by a majority of 42 not-contents against a minority of 20 contents. [MORNING POST. j In the House of Lords, last night, the Mar quis of Lansdown moved an Address to his Ma jesty for Copies of the Dispatches received from the Lord Lieutenant-of Ireland relatively to Re ligious and Political Institutions in that country. He grounded his motion on the necessity of in quiry before passing restrictions tendinc , to cur tail the legal privileges of the subject in Ireland. The Earl of Liverpool regretted that the Noble Marquis had not waited a few days to know the nature of the measure about which he was talking, as he was aware that it would ,be introduced in another place to-morrow. fie declared that it was not founded on official information or confi dential communications, but merely on- the open proceeding of the Catholic Association, whose boast it was that all they did was in the face of day. He also reminded their . Lordships that when they adopted .a .measure against Orange So cieties two years ago no information had been called few, but it had passed on the sole ground of the notoriety of the facts. He declared the present Bill to be an Irish -measure, recom ,mended by the Government of Ireland, and ap proved by that of England, from a deep sense of its necessity to maintain the peace and pro sperity of the country. The opposition, hoW ever, persevered in supporting a motion which was really the most unnecessary intrusion on the time of the House that we ever . remember. The question was even pushed, to .a division, when aie motion was duly rejected by a majority o f 42 tp 20.—Mr. Serjeant Onslow's annual Bill for the repeal of the Usury Laws was introduced in the House of Commons.; but not without so strong an opposition, even in that early stage, as to render its ultimate fate by no means doubtful.— Lord Althorpe, with more prospect of success, also brought in hi annual Bill . relative to the re covery of Small Debts.--,Mr. Davis presented a petition from Bristol against the Catholic Asso ciation and the claims of that body ; and inti mated that he should soon have to present six teen more of a similar description. [MORNING HERALD.] The State of Ireland, as in the - two preceding Sessions, still continues to occupy the attention of Parliament. It formed a leading topic of the King's Speech at the opening of the Session, and the debates in both Houses since have had no other object. The Marquis of Lansdown's mo tion, in the Upper House last night, for the pro duction of the Viceroy's dispatches from Ireland; and of all papers connected with the measure in contemplation to suppress the Catholic Assembly, brought on an animated discussion of some length. Lord Lansdown, in the course of his speech, dwelt on the . past discordant history of Ireland. He alluded to those .bar barons. periods Of bloody contest between the inhabitants of the Pale and the native Irish, when the cries of " Crornaboo•,' and Butlerabloo," were the war-whoops of both 'factions. These dissonant cries were then considered so alarming as to call for the inter position of the English Government, who resolv ed on suppressing them, but permitted the war cry of " St. George" to be-raised in their stead. In the same spirit (the Noble Marquis said) the Ca tholic Association was now made the bugbear, ,and its extinction resolved with as little cause. No information whatever (Lord Lansdown added) was laid before the House to warrant the Roceeding.; if any existed, it ought to be produced, and Parliament should not be called on to legislate in its absence. Lord Liverpool resisted the motion, and defended the proposed measure warmly. It did not originate, the Minister asserted, without strong cause and the , fullest information.' The Irish Government called for the - enactment, and it -received the ap probation of the Administration here, from the absolute nece s sity which they saw sanctioned it. Never, Lord Liverpool added, were the inflam matory proceedings that agitated Ireland less justi fiable than at - present, from the general prosperity of that country, the tenderness with which it was treated, arid the equal justice administered to all classes. Ile looked (the Noble Earl added) ou that Association, and those who countenanced its proceedings, as the worst enemies of Ireland. BY them the entire tranquillity of that country was delayed—those animosities the Government wished to set at rest for ever, were kept alive, and the flow of British capital was excluded from its shores. Lord Holland spoke w . armly:in sup port of the motion. The Minister, he said, was acting unjustly towards Lord Wellesley. He drew a picture of the state of Ireland, not from the Viceroy's dispatches, but from his own mouth. Though Lord Wellesley called for restraining enactments to one page of his communications, conciliation was probably recommenddil in the next. His dispatches, there fore, ought to be produced ; and to withhold them was not acting fairly by Parliament or the Country. The motion was ultimately lost, on a division, by a majority of 22. Had the Catholic Association not met so frequently, and less vitu perative declamation marked its sittings, the Go vernment brand of proscription would not proba bly have marked it, and its peaceful existence might have been still prolonged. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] An interesting discussion took place last night in the House of Lords upon Lord Lansdown's motion for " Copies of all Correspondence which may have taken place between his Majesty's Go vernment and the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, relative to the proceedings of the Catholic Asso ciation." The Noble Marquis's speech ‘s ill be read with considerable interest, and not less interest will be excited by the reply of Lord Liverpool. Lord Lansdown objected in forcible terms to the course adopted by his Majesty's Ministers with respect to Ireland, as being wholly unprecedent ed, inasmuch as it called on Parliament to make le g islative enactments, trenching on the liberty of the subject, without laying before them any information on the subject; to obtain that infor mation was the object of the present motion.— Lord Liverpool, on the other hand, contended that Parliament was already in possession of full information ; information to be found in the acts and declarations' of the Catholic Association itself. The Noble Earl said he was prepared to state, that if the Noble Lord who brought for ward the present motion expected any further information he must be disappointed, as Go -vernment possessed no other information on the subject than that, which was open to every individual on both sides of the House. The present motion was therefore unnecessary. He also complained of the course adopted by the Noble- Marquis, in bringing forward the present motion; while only a few hours would elapse be fore a measure on the subject .would be brought forward by the Secretary for Ireland in another place. Ile declared that the measure about to be brought forward was a measure strongly re commended by the Irish Government and adopted and approved by . the English. One ar gument of the Noble Earl had considerable weight in it ; he contended that it was impos sible such an Association as the Catholic Asso ciation could exist in any country without ex citing great irritation and feeling in the different parties ; ,and he put it to their Lordships to say whether, if the Catholic Association was suf fered to exist, the Governmint could, with any shew of justice, interpose and put down any other association. The debate was confined to Lords Lansdown, Holland, Grosvenor, and Caer ' narvon, who opposed it, and on a division the motion was negatived by 42 to 20. Mr. Spring Rice gave notice of a similar motion in the House of Commons for to-night. As it is NV edn est] ay, however, the Chances are against making a House; debate on this evening would interfere with the ar rangements of Ministers in other places. Mr. Serjeant affslow. brought forward his annual motion for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Usury-Laws.—'l'he'kearned Serjeant was more successful than on his former lttempts ; he ob tained leave, and the Bill was brought in, read a first and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next when no dotibtit will be strongly opposed. [N Ew rimEs.l Dr. Lushington's motion for -a copy of the committal of William Quigley and others to the, Gaol of Londonderry in. the month of November last, was last night debated at some length.— The Learned Doctor, as was admitted by Sir George Hill,.spoke with proper delicacy of the .committing Magistrates ;• but stil - Fas- his , motion, from its 'very nature, seemed to imply a reproach on them, it becarnk necessary to place their con duct in its proper light, which the Hon. Baronet did by a simple statement of facts. The Ma gistrates, it appeared, had no discretion in this commitment. Quigley and his associates were brought before them, in pursuance of an Irish Statute; which enacts, that persons present at ille gal marriages shall be . compelled to give evi dence, or on . refusal shall be committed to' prison . ; and as the individualS summoned at this. instance did refuse, they were commit ted of course. It is a totally different question how far the law imposing penalties on such marriages is or is not just and politic ; but it will be remembered that our own Statutes have at different tithes imposed very heavy penalties On Clergymen of the Established Church for ce lebrating, and on Lay persons of the same Churches for contracting irregular marriages.— We wish all questions of this ki n d to b e candidly and coolly discussed, apart from all prejudice, political or religious. The interference of the Catholic Association in questions of this kind is principally censurable, because it tends to pro mote both faction and religious prejudice. . The Lord Chancellor has had occasion, both in his - legislative and judicial character, to throw out some intimations of his opinion on Joint Stock Companies, an opinion to which the Public Will of course look with very great interest. So far as we can collect it from the different Re ports, Parliamentary and Forensic, it appears to us to have been much misapprehended, and . that misapprehension enhanced the very evils against which his Lordship carefully sought to guard. The panic which took place a few days back among the Shareholders was founded Upon a vague. apprehension that the Lord Chpncel lor meant to bring in an Act operating gene rally against a 11 • the recently established Com panies ; whereas probably most of those Com panies 'may have useful ends in view ; and we may be well assure d t h at i t i s ne ither his Lord ship's wi s h nor i ntent i on to t h row any obstacle in the way of the developement of national industry arid enterprise.—The celeh:ated Act of George I. was directed against such projects as were themselves public grievances ; but the heavy penalties which it imposed were of a nature to defeat the object of the law ; and it consequently fell into disuse. It is presumable that Companies directed to useful public pur poses will readily obtain the sanction of a Royal Charter or an Act of Parliament ; but those which do not require the powers deriveable from such sources must take care not to act as if they possess ed such powers. The Lord Chancellor appears to have laid it down in the case of Eyre v. Everett that where Companies could only be legally formed by Charters or Acts of Parliament, till they were so formed they could not sell shares for profit. Where a body not incorporated acts as a Corporate Body, the Courts of Law cannot consider the Acts as valid.—(lbid.) FOR THE SUN. A CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC Mi. EDITOR--CAYENNE PEPPER (which is the pods of the capsicum reduced to a coarse powder) in this kingdom was formerly only k - nown to bo tanists and gentlemen of the medical profession, - but of late years it has been much used' for nary purposes, and is one of the principal ingre dients in many of our best made dishes. , There are many varieties of capsicurn: Whin ripe,— some are o a yellow colour, some orange, scarlet, deep red, and some are of a brownish green ; all of them possess nearly the same aromatic pungent acrimonious taste, varying a little in• degree ,and flavour. The brownish green, with short pods, is considered as the strongest. Men are of different opinions respecting their salubrity as food',;. to me it is clear that the robust and healthy do not require such stimulants—the- plainer their food, the more salutary its effects. LUXury• has. so altered the constitutions of the inhabitants of this island, that there are very few above the lower or ders who can be considered as strong and healthy ; I therefore the majority do not relish plain:food,but actually require some stimulant with it, whether it be black pepper, Cayenne, or strong liquids, the effect is nearly the same. Cayenne is grateful to. the taste : if pure, and used in moderate quantities, I think it may be considered as wholesome to many constitutions, and to all such as from habit•or other causes require stimulants to excite a flow of saliva and gastric juice for digesting - their food. If impure, it must be injurious to all, agreeably to its state of impurity. What-we get,j is chiefly brought from the West Indies, and I. believe it is sent home in pods, and prepared tif..H terwards in England. I have not seen,'or been, able to procure any from druggists that is not coloured with the red oxide of .lead (red lead) which mnst render it very --unwholesorne. The - deleterious effects of lead on the Initriail_Stomach are too well known for me to make any comments_ on. It may be thought that the quatitily used is too small to do any .serious injury ;T but 'it should be taken into consideration, -that7-sortie people are in the habit of usitv , cayeilfe 4aily ; and although the quantity of lead In _each day's consumption is a mere trifle, if long continued will it not injure the constitution ?'. Itis my opinion that more injury is done to mankind by the long continuance of taking injurious things, which have no immediate visible ill effect, ,than by the most baneful poisons ; one • acts insi diously, the other is soon detected. 'The red cayenne, by exposure to air, or from long keep ing loses its colour and pungency, which I sup pose is their reason for using the oxide of lead to give it a fresh appearance. If it is necessary to heighten the colour to make it saleable, I would recommend their using safflower (cartham.us) in stead of lead, or some other innocent colouring matter ; and all who purchase cayenne pepper, to have it warranted free from lead or any mixious . matter. Nearly the same observations apply to pickles coloured green with copper or verdigrise. Although its injurious effects are we'll known, I am certain it is frequently used by servants and others without the know.' ledge of the consumers; and a penny,, piece is often put into the pot to p re s erve green s f r om losing their colour. If it is not the duty of t1 : 1 College. of Physicians to examine druggists' shops and oil shops (as they do apothecaries) to see that they do not mix deleterious ingredients with articles intended for medicine or food ; I consider it. as 'their duty individually,. and of every medical man who is acquainted with any deceptions practised to the injury of their fellow- creatures, to inform the public of it. I' am an old medical practitioner, and I am not much sur priSed to see new names used for many disorders without any apparent good reason. There is a fashion in writing as well as in dressing, and chic tors wishing to be in it seldom ever now , write a book without using many ne w cramp terms, which they copy from the French, ,or produce from their own fertile imaginations. A. Learned Lec turer lately observed to his pupils " that Cullen's Nosology answered good purposes." Although I can thus account for the variety of new terms introduced, I cannot so readily account for the new disorders that have lately sprung up since I was a young man ; one of which is denominated Tic Douloureux. Is it not probable that they arise from the change constitutions have under gone from the rapid not idadvancementtheabove-mentioned moefdisisipatio dis order and moreluxury ? lik or, ely to be brought on by th e quan tity of snuff now almost universally taken by young and old ? The component parts of which i s on ly known to the manufacturers who make it for profit, consequently, their principal object is to please. Whether it does good or harm to the consumer is with them of a secondary considera tion. I have been credibly informed, that it hse a ; n s d tmo , arnyaasenioal injuringt s r , ti t o must together h v with the great degree of excit ement produ ced on the glands of the nose, affect the communicating nerves so as to bring on the Tic Douloureux ? also, lead in Cayenne pepper, or other such de. the h Pa t ae iyytoicurzltgffeacitidimmisidwdbliec de structive articles may som e ti mes h e the cause o f wit h a a g r e e d, no b w ut so f zi m nm er o ly n was. chiefly coolined to the old and, infirm. I cannot help .thinking that this is often the. case,, and that the affections of the spine, now so preva lent with young females, owes its origin to the pre-. sent tender manner in which they are brought up, excited by debilitating indulgences. Many have written on this subject, and very good advice has been given to parents, guardians, and young peo ple, without producing much good effect. It seems with the later to be their maxim " that it is bet ter not to exist, or live in constant pain and sery, than not be in the fashion," they act in di rect contradiction to the dictates of their feelings and common sense, for why ? because it is the fashion. In the middle of the day they are warmly clad, i❑ the evening go almost naked. The effect of dressing in this manner, with sudden transi tions from heated rooms to a cold atmosphere, on constitutions already predisposed to disease (often when they ought not to visit at all) natu rally bring on obstructions, congestions, &c. ending in consumption, dorsal debility, palsy, or some other violent disorder. It is to be hoped that conductors of families-and of fashions will bear this in mind, and regulate them agreeablY to the changes of this climate—to modesty—good sense, strength of their constitutions and natural feelings.' Some young people can bear dissipa' tion and sudden transition with impunity, which would be death to others. They may practice it too often—at all events it is setting a bad es' ample to others who are not so strong as them selves. That the lovely fair of this Island may conduct themselves so as to retain the admiration they have gained from all the world, and enjoY better health, is the wish of the writer of this.
