THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extructcfront the Morning Papers, March 29,1825. [MORNING POST.] A conversation of some interest arose last night in the House of Commons, in consequence of a starement made by Mr. Spring Rice while pre senting a petition from Limerick in favour of Ca tholic Emancipation, that some of the petitioners - would have been better pleased had they seen Iwo other Bills brought in along with that now before the House ; one to regulate 40s. free holders, and the other to make a provision for the Catholic Clergy. Mr. Littleton immediately an meanced that it. was his intention after the holi days to introduce a Bill to regulate the voting of tHe 40s. freeholders of Ireland, and to raise the qualification of the registered freeholder not to more than 101. and not to less than 51. This announcement was received with satisfac tion by some Members; who thought such a Bill, coupled with a measure for the payment of the Catholic Clergy, " would disarm the Emancipa- Aion Bill of much of its terrors." Mr. Secretary Peel, however, stated that he " would not ac c.-pt of those measures as grounds for modifying his hostility to the Bill, but that if his opposition to it should he over-ruled by the House, he might then choose to entertain them as measures of se curity." Sir Francis Burdett took this tardy oc casion of vindicating Mr. O'Connell's veracity, by stating that he had drawn a draft of an Eman cipation Bill at his request, and that of a few friends not Members of the Committee, but that it had not been used, lest its origin should have formed a ground for objection in the House. In a Committee of Supply, various sums were voted to be spent in public works and other improve ments. The propriety of building a grand Na tional Gallery in the vicinity of Charing Cross, to contain the splendid Collections of Paintings al ready purchased, was urged and universally admit ted, and it was announced that the Roy al Academy - would be removed from Somerset House, and that measures were taking for completing that noble edifice. It. seemed to he the general im pression that residences should be erected for the higher Officers of the State, particularly the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, who had none. In answer to a question from Mr. J. I) , lartin, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated, that a gross fraud had been discovered in the manner in which the Custom House had been built, and that an inquiry was pending to ascertain whether there was any collusion between the Architect and the Contractor; in which case they would be tried for a conspiracy. This day Mr. Huskisson is to move for a Committee to inquire into the effects of the Cominnation Laws, and to-morrow the house adjourns for the Easter Holidays to the 14th of April. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We have received the Paris Papers of Satur day, and the Etoile of Sunday. The Constitu tionnel specifies a number of the Works which are not allowed to enter Russia, from an expur gatory list with which it has been furnished. by some of them have been interdicted, it is not easy to guess ; for harm can they do in no one sense, except that time and money are thrown away on them. The books named are, Histoire de la Regeneration de la Grace, by Pouqueoille; Histoire des Evenemens de la Grace, by fiqffenel ; Oeuvres Completes de Byron; the Political Economy of Storck, Tra vels. in England, by Blanqui (a work against which fro possible exception could be taken, one should think, had not the Author, unfortunately for his reputation, in the Northern part of this excla:mod, when he reached the Scotch Borders, 4 liere commences the desert,which separates Scotland from civilization'—a phrase which conveys a powerful insinuation) ; Voyage du Comte Lagarde de Moscow a Vienne, Lady Morgan's Memoir's of Salvator Rosa, Les Mceurs Francais, by J ouy ; le Mannel Historique of Heeren, the Abbe Mellot's General History, History of France and History of England, l e l Tableau des R,:volutions de l'Europe, by loch ; Botta's History of Italy ; the History of the Revolution, by Mignet ; Biographic des jeunes Demoiselles, by Madame de Renneville.— Even Paul and Virginia, and the other writings of Saint Pierre, and the Works of the Ultra Royalist, M. de la Bourdonnaye, are rigorously proscribed. This is, no doubt, acting with consistency. We have often contended that nothing is so absurd as to tolerate History, which may be said to be a continued libel on Kings and Courts, and to interdict some speculative treatise, which few persons would feel disposed to read. The Emperor Alexander, however, goes to the root of the evil, fully aware of the impossibility of inspiring a reverence for existing Governments and Rulers, while the youthful mind is allowed to riot in the censure of the past. Human nature will be human nature still, in spite of the Em peror, Alexander, Mr. Owen, or other enthusiasts, who imagine they can change the world at will. The great Empire of Barbarians can suffer no great loss .at present from these foolish Edicts against books. In due time the Russians will require mental 'entertainment, when of course it will he as impossible for any Emperor to prevent their obtaining it, as it would he for Alexander to communicate to his good-natured, hospitable savages, any idea of justice, honour, or morality, in the'sense attached to the words among civilized nations, • . [THE TIMES.] Two interesting subjects of conversation, ra ther than of debate, were stated last night in the lionsie of Commons ; the one relating to Catholic Emancipation, the other to what we may call Bread Ematicipalion. For our own parts, we are anxious: for the emancipation of bread, as for that of our Catholic brethren. The domestic ty ranny to which the first article of life is now sub jected, not only slays the adult, but it pre vents the rising into life and activity of my riads—perhaps we may say millions—of hu man beings ; it checks population, the strength of a suite it injures manufactures, the na tion's- glory and riches. Ministers are silent as to the course they mean to adopt with respect to the Corn Laws. Mr. iluskisson said last night in the House, that he should not deliver his opi nion on the subject till the matter came regular ly before Parliament. But Mr. Curwen talked of exchanging the present law of maximum for a duty ; but that duty was to be 20s. Now, when it is considered that the talk of allowing the importation of grain from abroad will in. scantly raise the value of the article in the place of its growth, and that the import duty, be it what it may, must be added to the increased price, and to all the expenses of freight, in surance, loading and unloading, sea-loss, &c. too small a duty cannot well be imposed up on grain which was to find its way, under so many difficulties, to British ports.—The conver sation on the Catholic question- was, we should think, rather favourable to the success of the measure. It was proposed by Mr. Littleton and others, to connect with the Bill shortly to be dis cussed the appendages of a stipend to the Roman Catholic Clergy, and the suppression of nominal forty-shilling freeholders. Mr. Peel seemed to acknowledge that these clauses might render the measure less objectionable ; and the friends of emancipation said, that rather than hazard the success of the general measure, they would con sent to the grafting of the proposed clauses on the Bill. • :NEW TIMES.] Of all the extraordinary hypotheses to account for the mutiny at Barrackpore, the most curious is that of Mr. Hume, who ascribes it to the want of a Free Press in India. A Free Press in Eng land is an inestimable blessing, because it is fenc ed round and protected by our laws, customs, habits, and opinions—because it is a part of our free Constitution—and because it rests upon the good sense and sound judgment of the great mass of our society. But it is well observ ed by Captain Seely, in his " Voice from India," that the state of things in British India is very dissimilar. " There," says the writer, " the People have for centuries lived under a foreign yoke, either Mohamedan or British; and be our rule as mild as it may, we are stil conquerors and intruders, and our sub jects are a subjugated people, consisting of an enormous population, superstitious and restless, haughty and fierce. Surely these are not the persons to direct, or fit to judge of the acts of their masters." It is obvious that the first conse quence of a free Press in India would be to spread discontent among the Natives, and more espe cially the Na five Troops. It would be impossible to prevent inconsiderate, violent, or seditious writers, from representing to the Natives that they were harassed by those whose duty it was to protect them from fraud and violence. Captain Seely mentions two or three instances of such publi cations in India—publications which it cer tainly would not have been wise long to tole rate. That such a freedom of the Press might be likely to lead to mutinies we can easily be lieve ; that the want of it should produce the same result is contrary to common sense. Captain Seely particularly specifies a statement made in a Newspaper at Calcutta, that the Native troops at Ilyderabad were paid in a base currency, which was true ; but. then the Journalist for• got to add (or perhaps he did not know the fact) that they were paid the difference of exchange. Probably the misrepresentation of the News-writer did not come to the know ledge of the soldiery ; but if it had beer: exten sively circulated among them, we know nothing more likely to have excited a mutiny, which might have spread throughout our whole Indian Empire. This single instance is a sufficient an swer to all the senseless declamation about a Free Press in India. [BRITISH PRESS.] We have judged it advisable to give an abstract of Mr. Peel's very important and excellent Bill for the consolidation and amendment of the law relative to the Juries in England and Wales. The Bill is substantially the same as it was printed at the close of last Session. The amendments made in the Committee consisted principally in expunging the new qualifications for Jurors, which were contained in the original draught. This old law is therefore in fewer respects changed, and this is certainly the more desirable course. If it should be (teemed proper to extend the qualifi cation of Jurors, the question can be better con sidered in a separate form. In the part relating to the striking of Special Jurors, we observe an amendment calculated to render that proceeding, if possible, more perfectly the act of chance. — By this advice, not the names of the Special Jurors, but the numbers affixed to them in the Sheriff's hook, will be put into the box, from which the first 48 drawn out by the proper officer will compose the Jury for the trial of the cause, unless it can be shown by the agents on either side, that any of the names corresponding to these numbers are by any cause disqualified from serving. We need not attempt to satisfy our feelings by pronouncing a panegyric on this great legislative work. 'The Right Lion. Secretary has heard his praises utter ed simultaneously from every quarter of the House of Commons. His name, already connect ed with the re-establishment of our currency, will descend to our latest posterity as the author of the measure which restored and embellished the venerable fabric of Trial by Jury. LTIIE PUBLIC LEDGER.] We have received the Paris Papers of Satur day, with The Elude of the folldwing day. Et is stated in the latter, merely as an opinion, that the Coronation will be put off from the 15th of May to the same day in June, in consequence of the probability of the present Legislative Session lasting longer than was expected. There is no po litical cause, therefore, for the postponement; but it originates solely, it would appear, h a desire to see the Members of the two Chambers present at this august ceremony. Prince Metternich had not left Paris on Saturday, though rumour had fixed his departure for the preceding day. On Wednesday there was a conference held at his house, which was attended by the representa tives of several Powers ; hut neither the En glish Ambassador, nor any of tie French Cabinet, was present. The motive of their absence is rather curious than important, as the Prince is too strict an observer of of what the French call convenance, to discuss any subject in the French capital, at which the French Government could take umbrage. As the Pope's Nuncio assisted at the conference, as well as the Ministers of Bavaria and Naples, to gether with those of Russia, Austria, and Prus sia, it probably related to some arrangements, in which the Holy See is immediately con cerned. Or it may have had relation to the departure of the Austrian troops from Na ples ; but, in this case, the English Ambassa dor would have probably attended ; and, no doubt, some person would have appeared on the part of the French Cabinet. Therefore the former supposition is the more probable of the two, par ticularly as it agrees with the exorbitant claims which the present Pontiff has thought proper to put forth, in his negotiations with some of the German Powers, respecting the extent of his spiritual jurisdiction in their respective States. As the Holy Alliance have raised him to the Pontifical Throne, on account of his hor ror of innovation, they must bear with him as well as they can, as he only shews, in his particular province, the same uncompromising spirit which they display in their own. There appears to have been another revolution in the Cabinet of Madrid, by which Ugarte, so power ful lately, on account of the special favour of his Sovereign, and, what was deemed not less in fluential, the support of Russia, has been dis graced ; and, what is more, ordered to quit the capital. The latter part of his punishment is is ea tempted to soften down, by saying that he has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary a t Turin; but it is well known how these appointments are carried into effect. In the meantime, his disgrace seems to indicate a decline of Russian influence ; arid it is possible that Ferdinand has at length discovered that it only served to involve him more and more in difficulties, and that, in stead of advancing his views, with respect to the recovery of his former American possessions, it contributed to accelerate the resolution which this country has taken to recognize their inde pendence. [MORNING HERALD.] The Catholic Bill, of which we gave a tran script the other day, is a very different kind of document to that which we should have expected from the persons who had the task of preparing it. To us it has much more the appearance of a polemical dissertation, than of a measure calcu lated to receive the stamp of legislative wisdom. If there is any thing which more than another re quires to be clear, concise, and intelligible, it is the law which men of all ranks and under.. standings are requited to obey. Whoever looks into the Statutes -of former times, will see that this used to 'be 'the case, and that from the period of the abolition of Law-French, till with in the last fifty or sixty years, laws were com posed in language which most men could compre hend. An age of legal and technical jargon has since arisen, and the sense and meaning of modern laws evaporate in their verbosity, just as certain li quids, &c. lose their virtue by excessive dilution. NVithout going through the whole of the Bill, which would require more space and leisure than we can at present bestow upon it, there is one part (and that the most important), which strikes us as particularly' objectionable, we mean the substitution of a long argumentation Oath to be taken by Roman Catholics, instead of the pre sent Oath of Abjuration. Lord Hale, speak ing of the ancient Oath of Allegiance, which continued above 600 years, says, that " therein the prudence of the Common Law is observable, that it was short and plain, not entangled with long and intricate clauses or declarations, but that the sense of it was obvious to the most common understanding, arid yet withal compre hensive of the whole duty of a subject to his Prince." And why all oaths should not be so too, we cannot imagine. We had hoped that one consequence of passing the present or any other measure for the relief of Roman Catholics would have been the repeal of the present long oaths (as they are technically call ed), and the substitution of one short one in their stead : for if these oaths were established for the protection of a Protestant Government against the errors of Popery, and the Catholics are now (very wisely, as we think) to be excused from taking them, surely they need riot continue to be taken by Protestants, as a security for whose fidelity to the State they were never necessary. Instead of the present three oaths of allegiance, supre macy,and abjuration, which we should like to see abolished, we should think that one oath might be framed to be taken by all his Majesty's sub jects indiscriminately ; and which, we conceive, might be couched in the following terms, viz.— " 1, A. 8., do sincerely promise and swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his Majesty King George, who I do hereby solemnly testify and declare is sole lawful and rightful King of this Realm and all other his 3lajesty's domi nions and countries thereunto belonging, and over all persons and in all causes ecclesiastical as well as civil within his domi nions supreme." --•- • An oath framed in these terms (of which it will be seen, that we are only the selectors) would, we think combine all the requisites of such a solemn obligation, would be intelligible to all capacities, and therefore more likely to be morally binding than long historical argumentative ones can generally be expected to be. A letter to an eminent French House in the City states, that the question respecting the re duction of the Rentes will be postponed till after the Coronation, and that to insure the measure being carried, thirty new Peers will be created. Lady BAYNTON, while hunting with Sir T. SyxEs's hou►►ds a few days ago, was thrown from her horse at Burton Agnes, and dislocated her right shoulder. Medical aid was immed►ately procured, and her Ladyship is doing well. Mr. KEAN has entered into another engage ment with Mr. ELLISTON, to commence early in July, during the whole of which m onth, and the greater part of August, Drury-Lane Theatre is to he kept open. FOR THE SUN. ON THE PRICES OF WINES. In the year 1772 the price of Port and Lisbon, as sold by the English Factors in Portugal, was five pounds a pipe, and at the Island of Madeira that wine was sold for twenty-two pounds a pipe. The best Teneriffe wine was then sold for three pounds and twelve shillings a pipe. In the year 1782, Port and Lisbon were sold by the English Factors in Portugal for ten pounds a pipe. In the year 1796 they sold those wines for twenty pounds a pipe, and when the duties on Wines were doubled in England, the Portuguese Factors doubled the price of Port and Lisbon, and sold those wines for forty pounds a pipe. The Portu guese sell 25,000 pipes of the best Port Wine for twelve pounds thirteen shillings and sixpence a pipe to the English. Factors. Suppose the ex pence of a pipe of Port Wine for warehousing, &c., until shipped for England, amounts to six shillings and sixpence, making the price of Port Wine to be thirteen pounds a pipe—if the gain of the English Factors was seven pounds on each pipe, then Port Wine would be sold for twenty pounds a pipe in Portugal by the English factors ; but nothing less than twenty-seven pounds a pipe will content them. As the duty on Portugal Wines has fallen twenty-five pounds a pipe, the English Factors ought to sell Portugal Wines for twenty pounds a pipe, which, with the pre sent duty, would reduce the price of Portugal Wines. forty-fire pounds a pipe. It is the interest of the King of Portugal to put a stop to the high charges of the English Factors, who now live like princes in Portugal, and who, after a few years' residence in that delightful climate, return with immense fortunes to live like noble men in England. If by the authority of the King of Portugal the wines are sold by the Eng lish Factors for twenty pounds a pipe, more wines will be consumed in England, and more wines exported from Portugal, to the great ad vantage of the individuals of both nations. ROYAL NAVY. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 25.—While the Diamond was at Havannah, the Pyramus sailed from thence, about the end of January, for Vera Cruz and Erikland. The Dartmouth sailed about the same time for the Mississipi. The Lion, Assiduous, and Renegade schooner, under orders of the Dartmouth, look ing after Pirates, were in and out of the Havannah frequently. The Grecian cutter, Lieut. Cawley, had arrived at Havannah on her way home, was to remain there a few days. Yesterday the Brazen, 28, Capt. George Willes, came from he Sussex coast, having during her cruise seized a tub boat and galley, with 103 half ankers of Geneva, 15 packages of tea, and 232 bales of tobacco, near Felpham : the men escaped.— The Scorpion, Lieut. Appleby, (tender to the Victory), has also brought in a tub-boat, with 344 half ankers of spirits, and six packages of tea. On Monday sailed the Phaeton, Champion, Orestes, Pylades Rose, Pandora, and Calliope, on an experimental cruise ; and the Tweed, for Harwich and Cork. The Brazen only remains. The Hope for Madras and Bengal, sailed yesterday; and the John, for the same destination, this morning, having em barked passengers here. Lieut. C. Nash is appointed to the Thetis; Lieut. A. C Duncan, Harrier; Mr. A. Granmell, Surgeon, Genoa; Mr C. Kelly, Surgeon, Harrier ; Mr. S. Mackey, Assistant-Sur geon Hyperion ; Mr. John M'Arthur, (b) Purser, to the Ganges ; Mr. John Warden, Purser, Windsor Castle ; Mr. Tucker, acting Purser of the Rattlesnake, to be Purser of the Britomart, vice Maber, deceased; Mr. Hinshelwood, Purser of the Beaver, to the Rattlesnake, vice Tucker; Mr. Brack, Clerk to Sir L. Halsted, to be Purser of the Beaver, vice Hinshelwood. DEvoNpOnT, blanch 24.—Came in the Champion, Ores tes, and Pylades ; they will sail again to-morrow, to join the the Phaeton, Pandora, Garnet, and Rose, off Falmouth. Sailed the Gannet, Captain Brace, for the Mediterranean ; Cameleon and Sprightly on cruises; Diamond for Portsmouth. Came into harbour, the Vigilan, to be paid off. THE LATE DR. PARR. We have been favoured with a sight of the Bust of the late Reverend and venerable Dr. PARR, now nearly completed by Mr. CLARKE, of this town, (Birmingham), who intends shortly to offer it to the notice of the public. The Doctor sat to Mr. Clarke some time ago, and an excellent resemblance was produced ; but, as in a character of such peculiar inte rest every minute perfection was desirable, permission was re quested and granted to make a model in plaster after death. — By this means the entire form of the head was most accu rately preserved, and some minor corrections in the features effected, so that the resemblance, by those who best knew the Doctor, is now considered perfect. But we are not content with bestowing on the ingenious artist the praise of sim ply) producing a fac-simile of nature,—a landscape may be faithfully sketched by.a person of correct eye, but wanting imagination and genius, and the resemblance may be uni versally but frigidly acknowledged.—But how different is the result, when the very same outlines are filled up by one who has taste to discern, and skill to embody the happy mo ment when the early ray of morning sweetly and softly ir radiates the scene ; or when the rich evening sun showers down its lavish gold on every object ! So in the human countenance ; the true artist will study the form before him ; —will make it his principal object to catch the moment of bright and characteristic, though, perhaps, evanescent effect. Mr. Clarke has, we think, happily succeeded in that which renders an effort of imitation eminently a work of art—in pre serving the character, moral and intellectual, of his subject. The expression of benignant placidity, which so often dwelt on the features of the deceased ;—the quiescent, but easily excited smile of playful thought and vivid and rapid fancy, which illuminated his countenance ; —the head slightly in clined„—the eye looking forwards, but in a downward direction, from beneath the projecting but not severe brow; consistently with the character of him who sought not always for excitement from external objects ;—all these are perpetuated by the sculptor, and give life and animation to his material. The Busts will be presented in two forms. The one in the usual professional costume, the shoulders cleri cally draped, and the head enveloped in its technically load of foreign curls. These are addressed to those intimate friends who will love to see him they esteemed live athe was wont to do in their sight. The other is of the antique character and terminal form, partially clothed in a simple drapery, falling in well arranged and sober folds,—the head bare, exhibiting the fine and bold contour of that seat of acute reflection and multi farious acquirements. This is addressed to the world at large. The one is Doctor Parr the Warwickshire divine, the delight of the friendly circle ; — the other is Parr, the philosopher, the philanthropist, the friend of all the virtuous and independent, the citizen of the world.—Ultranz herein mavis accipe—( Bir mingham Paper. ) The Constitutionnel, of the 18th inst., says, that, on the day before, the thermometer of the Engineer Che vallier, was four degrees below Zero. It was the greatest degree of cold hitherto experienced at Paris this winter. It would seem that the severe weather from the 13th to the 18th inst. at Paris, would render abortive a speculation in IcE which was undertaken by a M. de Chabrol, who was bringing a vast quan tity to the French Capital from Colvich, no less than 30 large boats full, at a freikht of nearly 100,000 francs (about -1,0001. sterling), besides other charges. It is understood, say the French Papers, that '; there will be four grand encampments in the Northen Provinces, during the Coronation, two fur infantry, and two for cavalry ; else wnole of which will pass in their turn under the inspection of his Royal Highness the Duke of Angouleme. A report is in general ciiculation at Paris, that the Coronation is to be put off till August, but nothing official has been published on the subject. A Paris Journal states,. that .2.0,000 men are being instructed in European tactics in Egypt, under' french Officers; that Manufactories and Assurance Companies are being established, and that a Newspaper is about to be started: A late Brussels •Paper sa vs.:the total number of persons who have suddenl.. , been deprived of shelter, clothing, and the mean , of support, by the late terrible inundations, is estimated at tiny thouszmd !
