THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Eagractsfroin the Morning Perpers,Sept. 28,1825. [MORNING} HER ALD.] Lord Strangford, now in London, continues actively engaged in diplomatic affairs, particu larly with what may be termed the Greek ques tion, which, in fact, involves the consideration— What sles,ll he the future foreign policy of Eng land ? If France will meddle with Spain, and coquet about its former colonies, shall we have any "set off" against France—the Prince de Polignac's anxious interviews with Mr. Canning, notwithstanding ? Lord Strangford, also, conti nues to have frequent interviews with the Mini sters—all of whose recent deliberations and Councils were, in reality, as we have before twice•or thrice mentioned, arising out of the sud den, remarkable, and pressing communications from the Greek Government. An Evening Paper, that perhaps may sometimes have a hint from Downing-street, at first intimated as much, truly assuring its readers that the question of dissolution or non-dissolution of Parliament had been dis missed by Thursday's Cabinet in "no time." 'Well, there was Thursday's Cabinet Council, suddenly convened, and rather fully attended, engaged for nearly four hours; on Friday the Earl of Liverpool hastily proceeded to Windsor to have an audience of his Majesty ; and on Saturday there was an other Cabinet Council which resumed its delibera tions as soon as the Earl of Liverpool had reach ed the Foreign Office from Windsor, and again lasted nearly four hours. And all these proceed ing were characterized by communications from and with Lord Strangford, heretofore at Con stantinople, and about, in the course of two or three weeks, to go to St. Petershurgh. The pres sing importance of the Councils may be inferred from the length of time during which they con tinued assembled, and the second so closely following that of Thursday, after having had consultation with the King ; but the nature of their deliberations, assisted by Lord Strangford, was not to be known. However, if the ques tion about Parliament were so quickly disposed of, if there were something like unanimity as to the non-dissolution this year, the Prince de Polignac, the City folks, and the Coun try asked—" What could those sudden and long continued Councils, and assisted too by Lord Strangford, be about ? Surely, they would add — Lord Strangford cannot be required to go to St. Petersburgh to assure the Czar that" Pascoe Grenfell and Lord L. Gower will most certainly hare their seats for at least another short Session ! Such. being the natural result of the glimmering of light prematurely imparted by that publica tion, and such being the desire of Ministers to keep their " Greek" movements hermetically seated if possible, that Journal has got a new 'view of the subject of deliberation with the Councils. It now says, that the question as to the Dissolution of Parliament was not so un animously disposed of;—then, of course, it was debated for hours, the resolution not to dissolve the Parliament was forwarded to the Sing, and the answer was discussed for three or four hours on Saturday I Very consistent and probable I. But the public may rest assured, that the momentous, puzziog, and delicate Greek question—a question that now admits of no de lay, we might say wholly oCcapied the Councils of Thursday and Saturday ; and such are the necessities for prompt a,nd decisive actions on the part of our Ministers, that we would have- the country to be prepared to learn, one of these fine mornings, that Lord Strangford had absolutely arrived—and without even haring taken leave of his family at Tonbridge Wells—ia St. Peters lAurgh, to the astonishment of the Corps Diploma tique, as welt as to all fast-sailing streamers. ['rite Times.] From. the Buenos Ayres Papers, which w e publish,, it will be seen, that Don Pedro's policy , hAts.had the effect of embroiling him at once with tlie.tvm republics on the south and west of him ; white at the same time, as lie will soon find out Itis own subjects are more than distracted between allegiance to a master and love of republican in stitutions. The proceedings of the Assembly, the Government, and people of Buenos Ayres, are full of spirit and activity. Nor can any ho nest. Statesman wish success to the injustice which has marked the nature as well as the mode of the Brazilian Emperor'; aggression upon the Banda (dental, and the line of the river Uruguay. The victorious Sucre will bealikely instrument for the &feat of a similar spirit on the other side of gig county, ; and bringing to bear upon this est/tic:Emperor the force and vengeance of Peru Ott her allies, will contribute, if tile war goes foF4itrii,.ta show Sir Charles Stuart how little he lea-effected by the settlement of a bargain be tween two Crowned. Heads, for trafficking i n th e rights — of millions who disregard them. Sir Charles Stuart's diplomacy, we repeat, will not tell for much, if he only binds Emperor Pedro and King John; while the empire and its inhabi tants dip through his fingers. It seems provi dential, for the cause of freedom and. justice, that thein wars should be provoked, at the. very mo ment when they are , best calculated to prevent tite party, who excites- them from. accompli-shing their criminal schemes. [THE FUELLIC• LEDGER.] We have received Buenos Ayres Papers to the latter end of July: Their contents are highly iinp,orlant,,and, prepare. us for a deadly conflict bemseen , the present Government:of Brazil and the neighbouring - Republics, which must - lead eii t her r to.the subversion of the former, or to the spume of universal anarchy- throughout , South America. Though the present:misuuderstanding between the Brazils and. the United States of La Pints may. be• removed', as - we trust it will, yet qnly. fruit it ,would bring forth would be a hallow:reconciliation, and. a state of peace, with out either security or confidence-. The Congress sitting at Buenos ; Ayres has in the mean time dis pltlyeka spirit.. worthy of the emergency and it is char that,heitherthe national honour, nor theinte. tau of 'public liberty ; will sustain Any tinder its guidance. It has adopted the Report of their Committee, appointed to examine the mes sage of the Executive Government, in reference to the events which have occurred in the Banda Oriental. The report is firm, but free from exas peration, as it relates to the proceedings of the Brazilian Government ; and, after requiring ex plicit and prompt explanations from the Execu tive, it concludes with assuring the latter that the " Congress is resolved to make all the efforts in its power, and to require from the people the greatest sacrifices, to maintain the national ho nour and dignitj." This report was made on the 4th of July ; and, on the 9th, it received the forma sanction of Congress. On.the same day a Decree was issued by the War Department, calling upon the people to arm in defence of public liberty and the national independence. To those, who obey this call, a bounty of forty dollars is secured, together with the same pay and clothing as the rest of the army ; whilst the time of service is limited to two years. On the lith a Note of the Government was read in the Chamber of Representatives, soliciting permis sion to be relieved from its functions, and request ing that the Congress would appoint immediately an Executive Power, that could devote its undi vided attention to the general interests. To understand this request, it should be known, that the Government of the Province of Buenos Ayres is entrusted provisionally with the su preme direction of the affairs of the whole Union; end thus the double duty is devolved upon it of administering the concerns of a parti cular Province, and superintending at the same time the general interests. Though this is the plea, upon which the Provisional Government grounded its request, its real motive was perhaps an indirect charge of negligence in its military preparations, conveyed in the Report of the Committee above mentioned. If it acted under this feeling, the cause was soon removed by the refusal of Congress to accept its resignation ; and this slight misunderstanding has thus become a source of strength and concord. [MORNING POST.] The imprudence of the Emperor of Brazils in braving the dangers of war for the purpose of annexing a Province, over which he has no just claim, to dominions which are already too exten sive, is becoming every day more apparent. Not only has the Government of Buenos Ayres, as it will be seen by our extracts in a preceding co lumn, made all the preparations necessary to de fend its frontiers and to carry on the contest with vigour if it should once commence, but a more formidable enemy has been provoked by the ir ruption of the Brazilians into the territory of Peru. This at first may appear problematical ; for Buenos Ayres being, of all the South Ameri can States, that. which has the longest and most securely enjoyed its independence, may be con sidered as the most powerful and dangerous antagonist to be encountered on that Continent. But this is the very reason which has prevented Buenos Ayres from acquiring military strength. Never having been threatened, since its first de claration of independence, by the arms of Spain, it has had no occasion for snaking those con tinuous and gigantic efforts which alone have enabled the Sister Republics to throw off the yoke of the mother country. Its struggles have been civil struggles; and though it has wit nessed several revolutions, they have been inter nal changes of Government, unattended with fo reign conflicts. Hence it has acquired manners, commerce, wealth, laws, and institutions, but little military experience or power.. It is, indeed, but since the aggressive demonstrations of the Brazi lian forces that it has decreed the formation of a national army. Peru, on the contrary, has not only struggled hard for her freedom, and fought for it with the best soldiers and the most faithful commanders of Spain, but she is at this moment assisted by the victorious and experienced hosts of Colombia. Whoever attacks her will there fore bring upon itself the united force of the two most eminently military States in South Ame rica, and will find it no easy task to resist their strength in war, their skill and their bravery.— The irruption of the Brazilians into the province 'of Chiquitos, and the insolent letter of their 1 Commander announcing that he had annexed that . 1 province to his Master's empire, go far towards bringing on a dangerous crisis. Already has Ge _nem' Sucre, the conqueror of the chosen troops of Spain, threatened to march against the in vaders, and after driving them out of the Peru vian territory, to follow them in their own, and carry devastation through their provinces. Me. naces from him are not idle words; it is to be hoped, therefore; that the Emperor Don Pedro will take Sir Charles Stuart's advice upon the subiect, and that guided by his experienced wis dom, he will relinquish an enterprise, calculated, under the circumstances of his own country, ra ther to endanger his crown than to enlarge his empire. [BRITISH PRESS.] 'rile papers received yesterday from Buenos, Ayres, from which copious extracts are given in another column, leave no doubt as to the hostile position in which .the Emperor of Brazil has placed himself with regard to the Republican States that surround his territory. We have ex pressed our opinion of the great danger to which this conflict, rashly and wantonly commenced, exposes the newly-founded throne of Don Pedro. The .presence of Sir Charles Stuart, it is to be hoped, will prevent the quarrel from assuming a more serious. character. The powerful influence of Great Britain will probably render her me diation acceptable to all parties, none of whom can have any rational desire of war. If, however, DOll Pedro should be deaf to the suggestions of moderation, he will have deep cause• to. rue his obstinacy and injustice.- 7 - By the inv as i on o f Cl A i qu it o s, he has given offence equally to the Peruvian and Colombian Governments ; and with General Sucre, and the victors of Ayacucho on his frontiers, his Brazilian Majesty will find that he has provoked no mean or despicable foe. It is known, besides, that a strong republican party exists among the people of Brazil, and they will be ready at, the first op portunity to revolutionize the . country. The Government of Buenos Ayres are taking the most efficient measures for their defence. Half a mil lion of dollars have been appropriated to the immediate disposal of the executive authorities, and the utmost zeal animates every class of the citizens. It is the opinion of a very intelligent gentle man, just returned from the seat of war in India, and with whom we have had a conversation, that the Burmese are changing the plan of their ope rations, as their object now seems to be to retreat, upon their capital; in doing which they have abandoned several strongly fortified places. Well informed persons are divided in their opinion as to the motives that have influenced the enemy in corning to this decision, some supposing it to be for the purpose of gaining strength, by falling back upon their resources ; whilst others believe that it is to enable the Burmese to negociate with the Indian Authorities upon better terms. Our informant states, that very little reliance is to be placed on the unofficial, accounts already pub- =MORNING CHRONICLE.] The benevolent Lord Calthorpe last week pre sided at a Meeting at Birmingham, for the pur pose of establishing Infant Schools in that great Town. The process of education commences much sooner than most people suppose. In fact, the character may be materially influ enced by the impressions received by a child in the earliest infancy. The sooner, therefore, we bestow attention on children, the more likely we are to succeed in communicating that charac ter to them which we wish them to receive. The question is not, therefore, whether children shall or shall notreceive an education, but whether they shall receive a bad or a good education. The question is, whether children shall be alto gether neglected till a period when it may be difficult to alter the propensities, of whatever kind, which they may have received, or whether we shall exert ourselves to secure them from bad propensities. In our great towns, of which a great part of the inhabitants is forced, from po verty, to abandon their children during the day, the children are necessarily exposed to all manner of temptation. Can we wonder that when children are neglected, we should have swarms of juvenile depredators ? Property is an idea of very difficult acquisition. All the savages with whom our circumnavigators have come into communication, are thieves, not ; from corruption, but because they had not acquired the idea of property, and naturally wished to take the objects which pleased them. If a child is not carefully watched and assidu ously taught to respect property, we may be sure that it will steal, whenever the opportunity presents itself. In like manner, a neglected child will always lie, for it is as natural that it should lie to escape danger, as it is that it should en deavour to escape from physical pain. [NEW TIMES.] The affairs of the Peninsula continue to attract the greatest portion of European attention. By a paragraph which we copy from a French Pa per, it will be seen that busy communications are passing between our Cabinet and that of Madrid. The difficulties in the way of arranging the affairs of that unhappy country are manifold, and they are aggravated by the hatred between the violent parties which disturb her becoming daily more vehement by collision. It is almost hopeless to expect a pacification betwee❑ the Priesthood and the Liberales— " For never can true reconcilement grow Where wounds of deadly bate have pierc'd so deep." And the middle party, which might moderate their animosities, is too feeble to be attended to. Our negociations are, we should imagine, princi pally confined to the question of South American Independence. Spain must submit to the loss of her quondam colonies; and the best that a friendly nation can do for her, is to make the most advan tageous bargain. Perhaps this loss of the co lonies may do Spain the great service of spew ing her how secondary her real importance in European affairs has become, and the necessity of the union of all her parties, and the concentra tion of all her energies, to maintain any rank whatever in the political, system in which she moves. This would indeed be a true benefit to Spain—almost great enough to compensate for the loss of her colonies. Our good offices are also of course required in case of Portugal, where on a smaller scale the same parties and passions exist as in Spain. We take it for granted that she must lose'Brazil—for even if the present Brazilian Emperor should, as is possible, succeed to the Por tuguese throne, he will not be allowed to retain the two countries together. In the present order of things it is not likely that any American State could hold an European Power as a colony—and 1 a transference of the seat of empire to Portugal would lose Brazil. The present proceedings in South America render the imperial throne there far from a secure one, without calling in any new elements of discord. If the Governments of the Peninsula were properly managed, it is possible that a federal union of its two States, and a per fect renunciation of the colonial system, would be the best policy which they could pursue. We extract the following from the Dominica Chronicle of July the 6th :—lt is our painful task to record this day the death of the Hon. ARCHIBALD GLOSTER, Chief Justice and President of his Majesty's Council of this Island, on the 3d in stant, in the 63d year of his age ; and in doing so we regret much that no panegyric our poor abilities enable us to pay his memory, can do justice to our feelings or those of his friends on this melancholy occasion. Mr. Gloster's professional career will long bear testimony of his sound judgment as a lawyer, whilst his decisions and opinions will ever hold his name in reputation as a Judge. Indeed, we could heartily with that some friend of real talent would step forward, and favour us with a short biography of so worthy and respectable a character, as we candidly confess our inability to do justice to the subject. Mr. Gloster in his youth studied at the Inns of Court, and was duly admitted to the Bar at an early period of life. He first began to practise in the Island o f Antigua, and his talents were duly appreciated in the West India alonies, and from the inhabitants of many he received marked tokens of their sentiments of esteem. He successively held the appointments of Attorney-General in the Islands of St. Vincent, Trinidad, and Grenada, from which latter office his Majesty w as pl ea s e d t o a ppoint him (unsolicited) to the im portant situation of Chief Justice of this Island in the year 1812, and which high station he continued to fill with honour, integrity, and independence of mind, u ntil his decease. his death the Colony has met with a loss of a worthy public cha racter, society is deprived of an accomplished gentlema n : his afflicted a widow and family an exemplary husba nd father. aannad COMBINATIONS IN FRANCE. COURT OF ASSIZES AT ROUEN: The trial of Roustel and his fellow-prisoners for their participation in the riot at Houlme was continued on Thursday the 22d. No evidence of importance was produced, except that of a labourer on the roads, named i3azire. It was at the suggestion of M. Adeline that he was called. He stated that he was occupied the whole of. the day of the 6th on the part of the road opposite the manufactory - ; he was therefore enabled to give an account of nearly all that had taken place. He first saw, early in the morning, M. Levavasseur and his son walking upon the road, and having done so tbr some time, he saw them seize a young workman, who was near the manufactory, by the collar, and.otherwise ill-treat him. When the workmen were paid he heard one of them ask for an aug mentation, or for the re-delivery of the bonds they had entered into. The workman who asked this was answered, that those who had advised him to act thus had better come forward and cause their engagements to be delivered up to them. After some further details of no importance, the 'witness pro ceeded to say, that when the first mob assembled, M. Lavavas seur gave orders to the gendarmes to make a charge, but that the gendarmes were prudent enough not to do it. M. Lavavas seur attempted to lay hold of another workman, under the wall of the manufactory, and called the gendarmes to his aid by de siring them to charge that eanaille. After M. Levavasseur's departure for Rouen, witness saw M. Adeline, the Mayor of Houlme, come to the spot, and by his remonstrances caused the mischief which was being done to cease. This was when the mob had assembled the second time. The gendarmes who had been examined on the previous days were then recalled. None of them remembered, having- seen the last witness, Bazire, on the road at the.time of the riot. The witness, however, still peristed in his assertion, and added that he had spoken with a gendarme at the time. lie did not recognize him among any of those examined. M. LEPETIT, the Advocate-General, spoke on the part pf the prosecution for upwards of two hours. - Messrs. GIFFARD and DAVIER, Counsel for Roussel and Lefebvre, immediately answered the Advocate-General's speech. The Court then adjourned to the following day (Friday), when the trial will in all probability be concluded. If the .Jury find the prisoners guilty, Jules Roustel will be • subject to capital punishment, and the other three to hard labour for fixed periods. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Yesterday Nathaniel Stockwell, who lately carried on the business of a baker at No. 13, Queen-street, Islington, was op posed by Mr. POLLOCK, at the instance of the Metropolitan Society, on behalf of Thomas Reynolds, Robert Gillett, and Vowles; and by John Howse in person. It appesr ed that in the month of January the insolvent introduced him self to the opposing creditors, who are flour factors, at the Corn Exchange, as a fortunate youth who would soon be in dependent of business ° he being entitled to the estate of Sandywell, in Gloucestershire, worth from 12,0001. to 14,000/. per annum ; and stated that Messrs. Brougham and Denman had engaged, for a sum of 20,000/. to esta blish his claim at law. He also said that his friends had given him 500/. to go into business with, and would advance him as much more as he required. His cause, he added, was to be settled at the next Gloucester Assizes, and he had then in his possession two documents for which he had been offered 3,000/., and 1001. a-year, but he had refused to give them up, .or even to trust them into the hands of his Counsel, Messrs. Brougham and Denman, and had got a solicitor to copy them at his own house. Confiding in the truth of these representa tions, which were strengthened by the testimony of tuo of his associates, named Cullyer and Perry, the opposing creditors let him have a large quantity of flour, upwards of 100 sacks, on credit for which they never were paid ; and one of them sold him his shop and business. At a meeting of the insol vent's creditors, he was asked to give up the documents he had ,tated to be in his possession, as a security for his debts; to which he replied, that they were in the hands of a lawyer, and he should be able to produce them at the end of a week. When that period had elapsed, the insolvent was in prison. Mr. Denman was called, and stated, that he knew nothing of the case to which the insolvent had alluded, nor had he ever even heard of the Sandywell estate, or seen " the fortunate youth," in the insolvent box, before in his life. There was not the slightest truth in the story he had told, so far as re garded him (Mr. Denman.) The insolvent denied having ever stated that lie was entitled to any property in Gloucestershire, or that Mr. Brougham or Mr. Denman were engaged to recover it for him. John NVil hams, his father-in-law, however, who kept sedan-chairs in the city of Gloucester, was a claimant for the Sandywell estate, for which he was at -law, and the cause would have been tried at the last Gloucester Assizes, but for the sudden death of his attorney. This was the only representation he had made to his creditors. Mr. POLLOCK having been heard for the opposition, Mr. CooKE, on behalf of the insolvent, contended that the opposing creditors had deprived themselves of just ground of complaint, by not having taken the precaution of making some inquiry into the insolvent's circumstances before they parted with their goods, instead of adopting his representation of them, which, if their account of it was correct, was almost too absurd to be believed by a child, ushed in as it was by the phrase " fortunate youth," which proverbially accompanied the most glaring misrepresentation. Indeed, it was utterly impossible that they could have credited such a ridiculous story, and there fore that could not have been the ground on which they had been induced to trust him. Mr. Commissioner HARnts observed, that it was not neces sary for the Court to discriminate between how much of the insolvent's story had been believed, and how much discredited by his creditors. it was quite clear that they had been induced through his misrepresentation, aided by the conduct of two associates, to part with their property to him. It was impos sible to conceive a more audacious fraud than had thus been perpetrated upon his creditors. The judgment of the Court therefore was, that he remained within the walls of the prison for a period oflB calendar months. Robert Rochester was opposed by Mr. HEATH, on behalf of John Bond, and by another creditor in person. The insolvent having been discharged under the Act in 1823, he was examin ed by his Counsel, Mr. COOKE, to shew that his debts since incurred had been the consequence of unavoidable misfortune. But in this he failed, as his present debts, amounting to 1,4001., appeared to have been incurred within about two years through accommodation-bill transactions. His petition was therefore dismissed. ASCENDING AND DESCENDING HYDROSTATIC CARRIAGE.—A Mr. GEORGE F. REEVE, of Orange county, New York, has constructed an engine, which not only exhibits an eccentricity of ingen uity in the inventor, and a pleasing novelty to the beholder, but bids very fair to become exten sive in its practical utility to the community. The design of the engine being to transport goods or articles by aid of water, any distance, where there is a sufficient quantity and fall for any given distance. Its leading principles consist of a wheel and axis, with floats or buckets, adapted to a race or trough, whose angle or incidence is adapted to the fall, or other circumstantial conveniences. the race, waterpraacret partial a Upon each end of the axis of this wheel is a cog wallow wheel, which works into a rack or cog plate, which is placed upon the top on each side of the race, and which answers for what may not improperly be termed ' a rail-way.
