SPIRIT OF TIIE PUBLIC JOURNALS. it will be recollected that the Duke of Wellington nod Sir Robert Peel seceded from Mr. Conning's Administration on the ground of an attachment to the Church of England, so pure and perfect that it would not allow them to sit in a Cabinet with a 'Prime Minister who was disposed to grant to the Roman Catholics a qualified emancipation. It will be recollected that the Duke, the Pre. on chaining miership himself, into Which he stepped' with the support and approbation of all those who were oppc- Heats of the Catholic Claims, and who considered him the unflinching champion of their cause, stul denly wheeled round, and, with the Assistance of Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Goulburn, and other sealous denouncers of the Popish politics of Mr. Cun ning, made larger concessions to the Roman Ca tholic; than Mr. Ginning would ever have ven tured to propose. So much for the sincerity of their principles, and for the honourable motives which actuated the persecution that their dos fluent rival experienced at their hands. Why do we advert to this subject Not for the purpose of agitating a question which is now at rest, and which we hope will never rise again to disturb the peace of the community —mw with the view of throwing any suspicion on the Duke's ettachment to the established Church, of whose exclusive rights and privileges he wa s , d ur i ng t h e lif e - t i me of t h e late Duke of York, so gallant and uncompromising a defender. We only mean to remind hitt Grate and others, who preferred the retention of place to the observenceof principle, that as they nre still, no doubt, anxious to )trove. to the Church of England the inte rest they take in her welfare, it will be more than ever necessary to give all the moral advantages pos sible to an establishment which it now stripped of her peculiar legal protection, We would have these guardians of the national religion consider that, us the external barriers are gone, she ought to be provided with new resources of internal strength. The Duke, and some of those persons who now hold high appointments in his Administration, used to prognosticate the worst calamities to both Church and State, if ever Roman Catholics should be ad s nutted in this realm to political power. We still give them credit for retaining Protestant sentiments, although, under the influent e of some miraculous illumination, they aldered their Protestant policy, and let that power into the State in all its unre stricted energy, svhich they used tts tell the people was the implacable enemy of their religious faith and their political institutions. It is not necessary to our view of the matter that we should either admit or disclaim a participation in the belief of the alleged - danger. We treat the question, in the present in stance, avowedly and strictly on the principle of the argument ad hoamienz, us applicable to the Noble Duke and his colleagues, who, by pointing out the terrors of Popery incessantly to the public mind, raised themselves to the political elevation which enabled them to bring about the very event which they had so zealously deprecated. The Duke had opposed Catholic emancipation as dangerous to the Church—he supported it as italispenstible to the sanity of the State. He and Sir Robert Peel dis claimed any change of opinion while they advo cated so decided a change of policy. They did not assume for their concessions the credit of liberality, they described themselves as compelled by necessity to make concessions which were evil, with the view of averting a greater evil. They admitted that they would have adhered to the principle of exclusion, which protected the Chinch, bitt they dreaded a civil war that would dein:date the country. Do not these Statesmen also admit that, yielding to the alleged overwhelming necessity on the one hand, called for redoubled vigilance on the other ? Do they not allow that, since the Church has lost her power, it is neeessary that she should be protected by additional purity ? As Prime Minister, his Orace is at the heed of the Police of the Church, he appoints the watclunen, on whose character for vigilance and integrity her Security, under Heaven, depends. W e d o not sa y h ow hi s O race has hitherto performed this duty, unr w ill we d o more than allude to the rumours which are afloat as to his future intentions; but this we will say, that, if the Premier has any regard for his own character, and ,would not mak e it e vid en t th a t hi s professed anxi e ty for the interests of the Church was a mere juggle and a cheat, he will hesbete be fore he selects for the honour and reTonsibility of the mitre, t ny person whose el e v a ti on wou ld on ly prove that the low and time-serving ambition, which degrades the man, constitutes the best quali fication of the Prelate. If vicious patronage sup the foundation of the Church, pnhlic opinion will do the rest. Priestly pomp will but ill supply the place of the Christian virtues which ought to form its erreaigth and ornament. Surrendered to faithless guardians, it will be betrayed—deprived of its moral influence, it will lose its only support, and become a " mutiluted structure, loon to fall.—Morning Herald. Last night we received Paris, Dutch, and I.lrus sels Papers. The Dutch, which are to the Ist in stunt, speak with unqualified bitterness of the pos pith* movements in the southern provinces of the Netherlands, to which they apply the most initating terms, such as " n horrible rebellion—execrable brigandage." Let us hope, however, that this im- Prudent language receives no countenance from the King, though it may flatter the prejudices of his Dutch subjects, who fully support, at this imminent crisis, the character for political servility which they have displayed of late years, and by which they are as much distinguished as their ancestors were by their unconquerable attachment to the principles of civil and religion* liberty. The Dutch of the pre sent day are as unlike the Dutch of the lath soul 17th centuries as the French of our time are unlike the French of the age of Louis XIV. They are still the industrious, erioney.making people they ever were, with this difference—that these two qinilities now engross their whole souls, whilst their 14,411 is subordinete to them, or, more correctly speaking, is become a mere matter of calculation. We feel ourselves obliged to make these remarks, because their conduct may mislead the English public, and what would be worse, confirm the King and his Dutch Ministers in their predilection for coercive measures. Our readers will, therefore, be able to appreciate the value of the exhibition, mentioned in the Hogue Gazette, of the orange cockade, which the inhabitants of that place have resum e d, "aS in 181:1 ; " but this fair.Vieather de ceretion would disappear again, were the sky to be overcast, and we have serious misgivings as to the infloence it may have on the coeduct of the Go- Vernmenr, .particularly as it is already liable to the interpretation of harshness and obstinacy in some points, and of grace and favour in others. Of this doubtful character of the proceedings of th e GO vernment the Bruseels the, already complain bitterly, and we think t ley are Perfectly justified in. this, when they see fine professions sniff words of grace accompanied by the ma r ch of troops and other coercive demonstrations. Indeed the pre (demotion which the Prince of Orange, and his pros ther Prince Frederick, who are invested by their father with authority to settle these commotion*, addressed to the people of Antwerp'on their arrival in that city, is drawn up in such vague terms, that it pledges them to nothing iu the way of re tirees of grievances. If ever there was an OCCii. 41 U 0 when explicit language and straightforward conduct Virart, necessary, it is this; and yet the de '4o"Of tiv two Princes, who had arrived in the seightiourhood of Brussels, were, up to Tuesday e v "dulls 'involved its mystery. This mysterious con duct has produced the impression it was . calculated to make on a people who have proved themselves worthy of the liberty they ri a le spir b e v to, and who are determined to obtain. it; deputa tion to the two Princes to vote ) ; e s Ty it . l may see With their Own eyes that 0(14 1 ' I t a c t ri t ' ings are not en irregular mid transient toovinneirir result Of deliberation - and conviction; hut they signified to these Princes at the sam e time, that. a soldier will be allowed to enter with there. are anxious to know whether the invitatiou, with th, accompanying condition, will be accepted, as upoik it the weal or woe of the House of Orange depends. If they accept the invitation, every thing may be settled amicably ; but if they refuse, it will be the first signal of a civil war, in which one of the par ties will fight for their file.sides, and in the presence of their hires and wives, not to speak of other in citements, whilst the Dutch will have no other in• dueement but national prejudice at best.— Morning thraid. It is affirmed, among other explanations of the occurrences which have taken plate ih the .Nether= lands, that a deep leaven of thannfacturing jealousy towards foreign (that principally tnglish) work men had entered into the general mass of turbulence in which the commotions originated. At Ghent and Verviera, more especially, there is stated to be a con sidernble exasperation against the Unglish establish= meets in those towns ) which ) with other (secessions of foreign Industry have been fostered by the King's enlightened zeal for the public welfare, but con demned in the Netherlands, as foreign workmen were at Path!, and as every approact4 to impiove ment through innovations having the least spark of liberality about them, have been among the English " operatives" themselves, for their encroachment on the monopoly, or some other special privi lege of the workmen; still, this will not account for the spirit in which the tipper classes , of the Flemings have turn e d aga i ns t th e system' of the Government the vantage•gained by the armed people. It is we trust by no means to be inferred, that because the King has ordered large bodies of troop* to march on Brussels, he therefore designs to carry tnatters towards his people with a high hand, and to subjugate before he conciliates them. There are, no doubt, among the Brussels inatirgehts many wicked and desperate, as well as holiest individuals,—men who might take advantage of the absence of troops, or of any evidence of phy sical weakness in the Government, to stir ups daring and iniquitous rebellion, for objects which upright men would abhor, and whom it is therefore neceg— miry to restrain by terror, while the several piestions between King and people are discuss e d with a view to peaceable and permanent arrangement. To yield with dignity, the concession ought to be one which the world will give the party credit for having power to withhold, should he think proper. It is not a little gratifying to be able to collect from well-in formed observers, that the revolutionary, or rather we should hope, the liberal party in the Netherlands, are adverse to any French connection.---Thres. Since the preceding remarks were written we have received a letter from another correspondent, to whose Jetts', for the sake of distinction, we will affix the initials "M. J." This writer, it will be seen, had been at Antwerp, and did not return till Tuesday evening. He, probably, therefore, did not know what had been passing at Brussels in the course of Monday and Tuesday ; but he status in his potscript, dated nine o'clock on Tuesday night, that the King had refused the petition of the depti• ration sent to him from Brussels. There is thus an apparent discrepancy between the accounts of our two correspondents; but it must be observed that they are speaking of different facts. The cotrespondent G. C. alludes to a deputati , n sent on Tuesday to the Prince of Orange, to which depu tation he says a favourable answer was given. Our correspondent M. J. speaks of the deputation which left Brussels on Sunday morning with an Address to the King at the Hague, and which did not re turn to Brussels till Tuesday evening. The answer to this deputation it is which M; J. says was un favourable. There rray be, therefore, perfect exac , - nesi in both accounts: th e representation of the state of affairs at Brussels on Sunday morning may have induced the King to give a different answer to what he would have given had he known the dif ferent circumstances of Tuesday evening; and the Prince of Orange, if invested with full powers, may have taken upon himself to decide according to the emergency of the moment. But we can only offer conjecture where we have not positive grounds to guide us. Our correspondents are both able men; but ene is a volunteer, and each is at present totally unknown to the other. Having thus made a few general remarks, and laid our private letters before our readers, we pro ceed to give a summary of the papers from Brussels and other towns of the Netherlands, to the 2d in stant. From the various articles of intelligence they contain we have made some selections which, taken with the information in our private correspondence, will serve to explain the nature of the insurrection and the extent of the demands required of the Go. vernment. In the first place, it will be seen that it is not true, as has been asserted that no persons of consequence have taken part in the revolt. From the names which appear in public documents, it cannot be doubted that many of the leaders, not only at Brussels but in the other cities, are men of rank and consideration in the country. In proof of this fact, it might be sufficient to insert the follow ing account of an ;mportant meeting at Brussels, at which it was resolved to send a deputation to the King: " At six o'clock in the evening of the 28th of August a numerous meeting of citizens, composed of the Civic Guard, Members of the States-General and Thovineial States, Anyway+, Merehants, and Manufacturers, as sembled at the ToWn-hall, in pursuance of an invitation trom Baron d'iloogyorst, Commander of the Guard, in order to deliberate on the beet measures to be taken for preserving order and public security. After the number of the persons present bad been ascertained, the meeting proceeded to nominate a President and Secretary. Bann de %cue, Member of the States-General, was chosen President; and M. Sylvain Van de Weyer, advocate, Se. era:try, unanimously. The President th e n c a ll e d u p on Baron ileogyorst to explain the ol+ject for which the meet ing had,been Baron Hoogvorst Accordingly rose, And said the first object for the meeting to (hams was, whether, under pre sent circumstances, it was not necessary, nay urgent, to send N deputation to tholi.ing, to inform him of the wishes and the wants of the nation, and to acquaint him with the wrongs of which the redress was required. In making this proposition, he stated that he only obeyed the wish of the whole Civic Guard. 6 M. de Slens enlarged on this subject with great ani.. mein', and wannth., lie was often interrupted by loud applause. " 111. Palmsert, sett., proposed the nomination of a 'rovisionary Administrative Commission. " L 4. tie &cus thoug►lht that the Governor Ought to he eAked to Ruminate that commission, and be present at the meeting. Every thing would then, he said, proceed in that legal order, from which none of us withal to depart. (Mario of geneval atternt.) ,‘ The Quint do Grez and M. Palmed were requested to communicate the desire of the meeting on this point to the Governor, who replied that u a citizen he partook of the wishee of the meeting, but as a Commissary of the King, he could not be present, and aid not think it neces sary to nominate an administrative commission, because the Council of Regency was then assembled and deliberating for the good of the town, " Ai. Jottrand thought that, as the Regency was deli berating at the present moment, the care of taking Deers sari measures fur the administration of the town should he lett to it. ' 1 A disocuavion then arose as to whether, as a consti tuted body, the Regency could he prevent at the meeting, at the conclusion of which, a deputation, composed of MM. d'Hoogvorst, Henry, Count Felix de Merode, and Vandersatissen, was lent to the Regency, who replied that they were far from disapproving of the idea of a de putation to the King, but that their regulations Inched co operation. The Regency also stated, that they were oe-- copied in drawing up en address to the King on the prevent events. M. du &nut then put the two fol!owing questions to th e Shall a deputation, on the part of the at. membled citizen', be sent to the King ?'—(From all sides, Yee, yes.')-..' Who shall compose that deputation?' Van do IV,yer proposed, in order to avoid delay, and to prevent interminable di•sensions on the numberle.e objects which would occupy the attention of the deputa tion, to nominate a commission, with power to draw up a project of address to the King, while the present meeting continued silting. " This proposition wee adoptexl, The following were the persona nominated members of the commission Count Felix de Merode,M. Sylvain Van de Weyer, Baron Joseph d'iloogvorst (formerly Mayor of Brussels), M. Ileum* (Wein), and M. Gendebien (Advocate), Sittings were euspeudeil during the labours of the Committee. The project of the Committee having been approved, therucet- ing, on resuming, proceeded to nominate the members of the deputation to . the King. The following gentlemen were selected for that purpose :—Baron Joseph Hooproist, formerly Mayor of Brussels, anal member of the Provincial States of South Brabant ; Count Felix de Merode, Wes. ter lon ; M. Gandebien, Advocate ; M. Frederic de Sects, Member of the States of llainault ; M. Pdlinaert, orn , merchant. " These gentlemen, ,worthy_ of the noble trust xv Which they mere charged, „made immediate preparations for their departare. There prevailed among the whole Meeting great calmness and prudence, and a strong love of public liberty, above all praise." The Government paper, the Gazette des Pays. Boa, alludes to the result of the above meeting as a proceeding of great importance, but does not think proper to discuss the questions it involves. A hope is, however, expressed, that in consequence of the deputation to the King, civil war will be avoided. The letter of a correspondent in yesterday's paper contained an account of the cuticles which the depu tation from Brussels is instructed to demand of the King. That account was imperfect, and we there fore now insert a copy which we received last night. We also insert a copy of the remonstrance made by the people of Liege, which will be found to contain more extensive demands than the Mussels articles, which are as fellow "The people of Brussels, aut'iorized by a proclamation of the Burgomasters and the Eschevins, to make known their wishes, demand—. "1. The entire, frank, and sincere execution of the fundamental law, without restriction or interpretation in favour of the Government, either by decrees, Ministerial circulars, or Cabinet rescripts. "2. The removal from the Ministry of the infamous and odious Van Maanen. " 3. The provisional suspension of the abattage, until the assembling of the next session of the States- General. " 4. A new electoral system, established by a law, making the election proceed more directly flout the people. " 6. The re-establishment of the jury. " 6. A new law of judiciary orgimiza,ion. " 7. The panel responsibility of Ministers, established by law. " 8. A law fixing the scat of the High Court in the ' southern provinces. " 9. The cessation of intended persecutions of liberal writers. 10. The abrogation of till sentences of condemnation for political offences. " 11. That bread he distributed to all unfortunate workmen to supply their wants, until they are able to re hume their labour. The citizens are invited to circulate this note." The demands of the people of Liege were originally engrossed in a petition, signed by the principal inha bitants, to a body which has been constituted in that city under the title of" Commi ss i on o f P u bli c Safety." The Commission, on receiving the pe tition, resolved that the requests it contained should be conveyed to the King by a deputation compoed of M. Itaikett, member of the Second Chamber of the States General; M. Deleew, Member of the Provincial States; and M. Deschamps, Advocate. The Count D'Oultremont is President of the Com mission of Public Safety. The following are the Liege articles : " A complete change of the system followed up to the present moment; the frnnk execution of the fundamental law. " Dismissal of the unpnpularAlinistry, whose acts have specially offended Belgium. " Their substitution by men who know how to con ciliate the interests of all the provinces of ►he kingdom,... —who acknowledge, as ought to be the case under a re presentative government, the full and entire responsibility of their acts, the only means of maintaining entire the principle of the King's inviolability. " The establishment of Ministerial responsibility by a apecial law. " The complete and sincere repudiation of the system, especially sanctioned by the fatal message of the 11th of December, 1829. " The institution of the jury to take cognizance of political offences, and in particular of all trials ; of the Press, and other political matters,—e guarantee of which we have been deprived under a Provisional Government. " The unlimited freedom of teaching to he consecrated by a law. " The complete freedom of the Press, and the repeal of the late law on this subject,--a law, the ling article of which has given occasion to a real .crusade against that sacred freedom ; and to interpretations, contrary to the true spirit of our fundamental charter, because they tend to cover the hostile acts of the Ministry with the ,mantle of Royal inviolability. " The establishment of the High Court in one of the southern towns, within the reach of all the clients of the kingdom. ' 1 The re•establi+hment of the patent dutio in the elec toral census, clnformahly to the regulations of the towns and to the fundamental law. " .A law, guaranteeing freedom of opeech on all matters, administrative and judiciary. " The equal distribution of public employment between the natives of the north and south. " The abolition of the bounty of 1,000,000 in favour of trade, the scandalous distribution of which has not a little tended to shackle it, and excite universal discontent among well•disposed persons. " Lastly, to pray that the king will be pleased imme. diately to convoke the Chambers, the session of which would not commence till October, in order that they may redress the wrongs of which we complain." The Courier dee Pays Bas of the let instant no tices the communications between the Prince of Orange and the Brussels Deputation, mentioned in a letter which we have inserted. It is stated that M. Vin Gobbelschroy, one of the Ministers, and the Governor, M. Vander Fosse, left Brussels for Antwerp on Tuesday fo re n oon.— Times. In an article on the French Revolution in /Pact woad'. Magazine for September, a number of con - lectures are hazarded with respect to its effects in various countries, founded on their situtition,vd the condition and character of th e ir respective inhabi tants. The article is drawn up in a slashing man ner, but without subscribing to many of the opinions of the writer, it is imp oss ibl e to deny hitn the merit of acuteness and energy. Speaking of the Nether lands, the writer observes, . " So many ties of Neigh bourhood, familiar nee of the French language, and old political connections, unite the Low Countries with France, that it will require something stronger than the Orange sceptre to repress the prowess of the new opinions. Wherever the Rhine flows, we venture to predict, that within eighteen months this great river will water a country, changed or changing in the spirit of its institutions. The Cabinets of the Continent are all in one and the same perplexing dilemma; resisting the freest intercourse with Prance, and the mast liberal expression of sympathy with France, they fall at once into an angry colli sion with the fermenting popular enthusiasm, --a col lision which is not unlikely to anticipate the very crisis they fear, in seeking to prevent it." But it is impossible that these changes should take place on one side of the Rhine without being felt on the other. Germany is the great heart of Europe, and the population of that immense country has long been the instrument with which the great enemies of European improvement h ave kept the nati ons in fet ters. The character which the writer d raws o f t h e Germans, and the conjectures which he hazards on the faith of that character are curious, Germany (he says), from its situation, power, and high condition of intellect, stands first in all consideration' of European dangers, or European hopes. Nothing can be conceived so anomalous as the aspect which it presents. Like the realms of chaos and original night, in which all the principles of order and harmony for future worlds were struggling for mastery as mere elements of uproar, every University in the land affiads a stage on which the taping intereata amen, as a soci al being, are given up to the fury of disputers and theonsts—raving beyond the license of ftver and delirium ; whilst in each of the haughty schools' some great Doctor Scrqplacw, or bilis, presides as umpire for the moment, like the ' anerch• old,' and •by derision more embroils the fray.' . • • . . All modes and questions of government anti civil economy are tossed into the crucible of German metaphy *ice ; anti (ailing upon the combustible temperament of German students, they might be expected to produce in surrection or secret conspiracy. These dangers, however, have hitherto been counteracted by three forme—first, the austerity of the German Governments; secondly, by the v a poury character of German *tantalum, which venal, itself in showy speculation ; thirdly, by the peculiar thaw dity of the German populace in all the considerabie towns. Great cities—there are only two in Germany; but even there the tame villatie character prevails. . A German of low rank, whether young or old, is the most hour bold, quiet, servile animal in Europe. This feature in German society was well known to the officers under Napoleon, who kept in perfect subordination, br a single file of musketeers, an extent of district which in Spain would have required the superintendence of several battalions. It is rernarkab!e also that none of the great German authors*, Goethe in particular, ventured to breathe one syllable of discontentagainst Napoleon, so long as it was an act of courage to do so. Multitudes, indeed, at one time slept out of their hiding-places, and blustered both in prose and verse; but it was when the battle of Leipsic had banished the enemy beyond the Rhine. The fact, also, that in so vast a country as Germany no parti zan warfare, no guerillas arose, except in the single instance of Schill, in 1809, is of itself a sufficient illustration of the emasculated character of Ger Many, both Upper and Lower. ..... . . In one point, however, un doubtedly, the tumults of Germany will wear a character even more a inguinary than those in Pars. There the soldiery, tt ith the exception of the Swiss, were net always in wriest. Generally they faltered, and acted with inde cision ; sometime* repelling the people actively when they were. pressed upon with ferocious eaergy ; but again re suming a defensive posture, or a posture but partially offensive, as their assailants recoiled. In Germany, if conflicts on the rime principles should arise, there will be no forbe.rance of that nature ; so completely is the pa triotic sympathy obliterated in the lower class, by the many local subdivisions and distinct Governments into which that country is splintered, and so absolute is the mechanical subjection of the soldier." Again, speaking of the character of the Germans, the writer observes : " We are told that Frenchmen are altered, and are no longer the frivolous Frenchmen of Louis XIV. and XV. Heartily we grant it—heartily we avow our conviction, and our thankfulness, that the noble qualities which belong to the French character have been unfolded, and advanta geously raised by the great events of the List half century ; and it will be seen further on, that we are utt,Tly at war with the great stream of Germ.tn writers in their arrogant estimate of the French as a people essentially below them. selves. On the contrary, we hold the Germans to be the meanest and most timid people in Europe, and the French we view as the only nation which, in its civil relations, approaches the standard of British characttr." It is a standing rule with all prudent writers to follow the praiseworthy practice of the dramatists in their clap-traps. Who painted the pictures? says the Lion in the fable. co an English write r , o f course, in everything th e English standard is not to be elsewhere approached. It may safely be allowed that the German, with all his honesty and candour, is at the ladle time the tamest of persons; and that even when he possesses superior intellect, he allows himself to be overawed. It was observed in the retreat from Moscow, that in the straggling parties, when the majority happened to be Germans, the person who took the lead was always a French man. The carriage of the German is abject and bumble, and seems to invite to aggression. But is it certain that the -writer does not do rather tnore than justice to ourselves? The constant pre sence of petty Princes, and the absence of great towns, have tamed down the Germans to this ab jectness; while the residence of the great nobility in Paris before the Revolution, removed from the French peasantry the weight which pressed down the Germans, and the destruction of the Aristocracy by the Revolution has added to their independence. In Englund there ate many great towru, and wherever there are great towns the population be comes spirited and independent. Our towns being, however, for the most part but of yesterday, they have not yet produced all their eff,cts on the popula tion. But is there really a mighty difference be tween the labouring classes of our agricultural districts and the low Germans ? Is it possible to conceive any human beings in a more ab ject condition than the poor justice-ridden labourers of England, harrassed with abuses of Poor Laws and Game Laws, without property, trembling at the parish overseer, at the parson, and every man in authority around him, who are only kept a little in check by the fear of arson and injury to cattle ? The arrogance of the great is always accompanied by the abjectness of the low.— Whenever we hear in any countryof ti proud and rich aristocracy, we may be sure that there is an abject peasantry. A rich nobleman who resides in the country demoralizes all around him. It is to the great and growing town population of England that we trust for its regeneration. The towns will ultimately obtain the superiority over the country despots, who are the cause of so much degradation around them. Till then the process of raising the peasantry must necessarily be slow. It is'absurd to compare our peasantry in anything but weight with the independent cultivators of France and Bel gium. But we trust the day is not far distant when this stain will be removed, and a proud and domi neering aristocracy shall be obliged to confine their pretensions is ithin the limits of justice and the good of the community.—Morning Chronicle. * Arndt, the author of the Geist der Zeiten, never came forward to own hie own book, so far as we could learn ; and at any rate he left leis publisher, Palm, to be shot as his representative. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Two men, named Austin and Law, were brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having at tempted to pass a gilt sixpence as a half-sovereign. Mr. Ledger, the landlord of the King's Head, in Puddineune, stated that the two prisoners walked into his house, and that Austin callid for a quartern of gin, and threw down the gilt sixpence. Witness at once perceived that the sixpence was not what it pretended to be, and an officer passing by at the time was immediately called in. Austin perceiving that all was up, said with great tact, " Come along, Master, give as the change of the sixpence."— (Laughter.)—The witness, however, who happened to be awake to such characters, would not believe that Austin meant anything but to defraud him of Os. 6d. and accordingly had both apprehended and conducted to the Justice-room. The LORD MAYOR--Well, Mr. Austin, what more have von to say on the subject ? Austin—More, your Lordship 1 Lord, what more can I say ? I vent to treat my friend. Says Ito him, Jerk, says I, I have got a tanner, and I'm Wowed if we don't lush it, so I calls for the gin, and the landlord met say as how that I axed him for more change than I aught to get. Aye, (said the 'Loan MAYou) but you expected that the landlord would make a mistake in your favour. ..."Mistake! your Vorihip," said Austin, a that's impossible. The two coins is quite different." The Lout) IVlAvonYes ; but you have made them pretty much elike. Have you many sixpences of this colour? Austin—l've seen that ere one, and I knows nothing about the colour. If it's a good sixpence, I don't care nothing about the colour, —(Lond laughter.) The Lou!) MAYOR-. 4 believe you to be a very great rogue. Austin—What, my Lord! a rogue? Am I a rogue, Jack ? Didn't I tell you it was it tanner ? A laugh.) Lew—You did, Jem, self) me God ; and you throwed it down quite careless--not like what you would provising it was half a severeign.—(Loud laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Do you colour, the sixpences yourself, or did this change colour in your pocket ? Austin---I'm blest if I know how I got it, but I've seen people pass them for sixpences; and the bit of 'gilt don't make them a bit worse. They gilds s ilver watches, and why shouldn't th ey g ild si lv er si x p en ces, please your Lorthhip ?......(L aug h te o Th e Latin MAYOR—You are lik e ly to do well; e bt: t i. is ' t t h o loeit t j e gy l l l oi t ri ll o gi : o a ti v i tl it el t ita y il OU y'cor areubring f orwar d some per- Yhigh opinio n o f you, 1 shunto not an utterer of base eoin.—The prisoners were remanded, nowsnEET. Yesterday two girls, named Jane Bartholomew and Isabella Josepha--the one under fourteen, arid th© other under fifteen years of age—were brought before Sir RICHARD BIRNIE tinder the following circumstances : Mr. Thomas stated, that he had received borne short time Since an anonymous cominunicaticn, which stated that there were a number of helpless children constantly.decoyed by various means to a house of ill-fame situated in Eagle -court, and kept by a Jew named Belasco. In consequence of this he caused the two girls in charge to be taken into co , - tody. On putting questions to them, it appeared that Bartholomew was without parents or friends. Some time since she was walking in the City, when she was met by a Jewess, who pretended to take compassion cm her, and promised to obtain her a situation. She took her to Belasco's house, where she had been forced to become a prostitute. She obtained a great deal of money in this way, which was always taken from her. The other girl was the daughter of a Jewish tailor, who had been decoyed away, and was now burdened in the course of guilt and prostitution. Scr RICHARD, on this, remarked, that it was a case which might be the means, with wine assistance, of procuring a conv i ct i on of t hose infamous houses in Eagle-court, and putting a stop to them in some measure.---Mr. Thomas said, that poor ignorant creatures like those before him were constantly de coyed away, as their youth generally enabled them to obtain more money. Sir RICHARD was shocked at this, and said that he was surprised that the parishes in which such houses were did not endeavour to put a stop to them. In his opinion great blame was attached to them. Sir Richard then sent for the mother-in-law of Jo sephs, but finding that she had not restrained her child from acting as she had, and that the girl was well known, committed her to the House of Correc tion for l 4 days. Mr. De Ville, the overseer of St. Martin's, and other parish gentlemen entering the office about this time, Sir Richard represented to them the cam!, and said that they might prosecute the house in Etiglr court, with the evidence of Bartholomew. Mr. De Ville assented to this, and prow ined to take the case up. The girl Bartholomew w as th en taken away by M r . Thomas, who said he would Tet her into som e as yl um w h en s h e was not wanted. he poor thing, with tears in her eyes, expressed her thanks, and her abhorrence of the life she had led. HATTON.GAIMEN. AN AWKWARD PROPENSITY.--A shabbily-dresaed little fellow, attired in a worn-out dresming-gown, With his neck buried in a dingy white cravat of im mense dimen.ions, was charged with diddling Mr. William Luis, a licensed victualler, :of Charles street, Hatton-garden, out of four glasses of brandy and water. The circumstances of the fraud were, the pri soner, in the usual form of business, came into the house and ordered a glass of brandy and water, say ing he expected a friend to call. He remained there the whole of the day, and no one c4lled for him, but he called for several things, and had four glasses of brandy and water cold. In the evening, when the prisoner was about to go away, the waiter stopped him, as the prisoner seemed inclined to jilt the reckoning. When the prisoner was sear( bed he was found not to be possessed of a farthing. The prisoner, in defence, said " it was a propen sity he had." In his possession was found a number of dupli caps of articles of wearing apparel and other things. Mr. LAING told the prisoner, that if he could not make an arrangement with the prosecutor he should be under the necescity of ordering him to find bail. The prisoner saw the danger of his predicament, and entered into 411 arrangement with the prosecu tor, and was discharged on•a compromise. MUTINY ON BOARD THE LOWTHER CASTLE AND INGLIS, EAST INDIAMEN. A very serious mutiny broke out on board.the Inglis East Indiaman, during her homeward-bound voyage. The ship arrived yesterday in the river from Can• ton, and ten of the ringleaders are in CUAIOdy, Pour of them were brought last night to the Thames Police-office. They were placed in irons at St. Helena, and have ever since been confined on board the Kato Castle, which was towed up the river on Tuesday. They were taken out of that veoo,el yesterday afternoon by Mr. Evans, the chief raver of the Thames Police, in pursuanc e o f or d ers to that effect from th e ecretary of State's office.— Four others are in the Grant, and three in the. Vansittart, Honourable Company's ships, the arrival of which vessels are hourly expected. On the ar rival of the other prisoner., the charges against them will be entered Into. After doubling the Cape, the crew of the Inglis, in consequence of its having been found necessary to flog several of them, mutinied, and overpowered th e offieers Captain IStidman, the commander, was flogged by the men, and was com pelled to submit to their terms until the ship ar rived at St. Helena, when soldiers were sent on board, and ten men were taken ashore and under went an examination before the Governor. They were afterwards consigned to the vessels mentioned, and the depositions have been transmitted to this country, and are now in the hands of the Thames Police Magistrates. The names of the prisoners in custody are John Hawkins, of the Lowther Castle, and Stephen Rose, John Jordan, and Joliw Lalley, of the Inglis. They are all able seamen, and have formerly belonged to men-of-war. Hawkins was first placed at the bar before Mr. BALLANTINE, at the Thames Police-offtce,last night. The Magistrate told t h e p r i soner, that the charge against him was for mutiny on the high seas, on board the Lowther Castle, during her voyage home wards. Mr. Robert M‘Tullock, chief-mate of the Kellie Castle East Indiaman, delivered to the Magistrate sundry papers and doeurinents. Mr. 1 3 AMANTINE inquired if the papers were the depositions taken at St. Ilelena, and whether the Lowther Costle had yet arrived. Mr. M'Tullock said the Lowther t'astk was in the river, and the papers produced were delivered to him at St. Helena by the Governor of that place. Mr. BALLANTINE ordered the prisoner to be re manded until the Captain and officers attended to proceed against him. The particulars of the case were not entered into. Hose, Jordan, and Laney, of the Inglis, were next placed at th e b ar , an d i n f ormed b Mr. BALLANTINE that the charge a ga i ns t t h em was f or mutiny on board the Inglis, during the voyage from Canton to Sr. Helena. The prisoners, who appeared in high spirits, ex pressed great delight ut being released from their dismal prison on board the Xellie Castle, where they have been so long confined, and said they should have now a fair trial,belorean English J u d ge and an English Jury. Mr. BALLANTINg told the prisoners they would be again brought up on the arrival of the witnesses against them; in the mean tune , they would Stand remanded in Clerkenwell prison. Another seaman named Huntley, who was also taken out of the Kellie Castle, was next placed at the bar. He came in that vessel from Canton, and, of course, could not have been engaged in the mutiny on board the, Lowther Castle or Inglis. The natureof the charge against him did not transpire. He was asked by the Magistrate if he would give the required information respecting some transaction which was not explained. The prisoner said be was unable to give the infor mation required : he knew nothing of the affair. Mr. BALLANTINE told the prisoner , as h e re f use d to give th e i n f ormat i on required of him, he must be remanded until the production of some witnesses who would supply the necessary proof. The five prisoners were then removed in the van to Clerkenwell prison. The first disturbance on board the ing'is took place on the 6th of June, off the Cape, and arose out of the refusal of Lalley to obey orders. The crew took part with him, and subsequently refuses' to submit to martial law on board. The prisoners in custody say they were driven to acts of mutiny by the severe flogging they so often received, and the stoppage of their allowlinee ofgrog. The mutiny in the LougherCastle . we hear Wal a very slight one, and soon quelled. THE MARKETS, SOUTHALL. MARKET. —Sept. t.
