THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS, December 1. _...p..- from this quarter will probably be important.-- A few days before the sailing of the American vessel which conveyed the intelligence we now communicate, the whole guard, which was en trusted with the defence of an important fort at Enico Pontas, marched olf to a man, officers and all, with their baggage, and went over to the enemy. LBRITISII PRESS.] It is"some satisfaction to find that the last ar rivals from Ireland are not stained with the ac counts of any further outrages. It is intimated in a Dublin Paper that the monsters who mur dered Shea and his family, have been discovered we may hope, therefore, that the exaMple of their punishment will deter others from pursuing a similar course of guilt. ShoUld the ruffians be actually discovered, it would, we think, be wise in the Government to cause their trial to be heard as soon as possible, even though a Special Comrnission should be necessary. To render the process of the law effectual, by impressing into the minds of the ill-disposed a salutary terror, trial ought to follow accusation, and punishment conviction, as quick as possible. The chain of legal procedure froin crime to punishment ought never to be unnecessarily or tediously interrupt ed, but should appear in the public eye with all the continuity of a dramatic action. Nothing can be more reprehensible than the manner in which the determination of the Crown in -the cases of persons capitally convicted at the Old Bailey Sessions is commonly delayed. So' great a length of time elapses between the conviction and the execution, that the circumstances of the crimes committed must in most instances have escaped from the public mind, and the execution, dissevered from the knowledge of the sufferer's guilt, necessarily excites no other feeling than one of -pity. The punishment thus fails in the accomplishment of its social object, of de terring the spectators from the perpetration of similar offences. An evil of the same character, and of equal magnitude, results from a delay in the prosecution of guilt : and if ever there were an event that called loudly for the quickest in terposition of the law, for the purpose not merely of vindicating its own insulted majesty, but of protecting society, it could not have exceeded in its magnitude and its atrocity the horrible trans action of burning Shea and his family. The most obvious means to which tire Irish Government can resort of checking the moral contagion that now rages in the county of Limerick, are the increasing of the disposable military force. For this purpose, a notice has been issued from Dublin Castle, requiring the out-pensioners be longing to Chelsea, Kilmainham, and the royal artillery, residing in the disturbed districts, to report themselves personally to the nearest mili tary station on the 3d December, and to conform strictly to such instructions as may be conveyed to them by the General Officer commanding the district in which they reside. An apprehen sion prevails that a conspiracy exists in Ireland, embracing not only the southern counties, but extending itself to Dublin and to the north of the kingdom. The appeal made some days since by the Magistrates of Dublin to the licensed vic tuallers of that city, desiring their loyal and ac tive concurrence in preserving the country from the effects of treasonable conspiracies, manifestly implied such a fear, and we now are told that, as a measure of precaution, the yeomanry corps in some parts of the north of.lreland are ordered to be placed upon permanent duty. The yeomanry corps of Ireland are a very loyal and efficient body of men ; the cavalry, we are assured, with very few exceptions, consist exclusively of gen tlemen of independent fortunes. [THE TIMES.] It must be considered at present, we believe, as rather gratifying that we are able to add no new facts of importance as illustrative of the state of Ireland ; for, the measures organizing for the suppression of the - disturbances not yet being in a state sufficiently advanced to be brought into general operation, any fresh action that had taken place must have been performed by the disaffected multitude, and must therefore of course have been of a reprehensible character. The guilty appear to retain their position with out receding or shewing any symptom of a volun tary change of conduct; their instructors, in a better system of morals than that of murder and robbery, are preparing for them. The remarks in the Dublin Evening Post conclude with the statement of a very singular, and, with respect to the people spoken of, not a very creditable fact. It says—" It will, no doubt, strike the English reader with astonishment, after he has gotten over the horror and disgust with which the re cital of those scenes must inspire him, that he does not read the names of any of the nobility, and very few of the richer order of gentry, among the active subjects of the king on this occasion." •It is already known that the surrender of East Florida to the Americans has been attended with similar circumstances to those which took place at Pensacola, in West Florida—we mean the detention of certain papers by the Spaniards, and their forcible seizure by the Americans. We now find in one of the United States Journals a protest on the part of Colonel Coppinger, Go vernor of the Eastern Province, Which is too long for insertion, against the proceedings of the American agents. If his statement, which is ve rified before a notary public at St. Augustine's, is to be relied on, he makes out a much stronger case than that of Colonel Callava, since he de clares that " the archives remaining in his charge 'were those containing the correspondence with his Government, which had been carried on by himself and the preceding governors, relative to the employs filled by the respective functionaries and persons ; that he had no documents which had any relation, directly or indirectly, with the property and sovereignty of the nation ; and, in Qne word, that the said archives were "a particu lar property, which he was bound to deliver to his Captain General, and positively excluded by the treaty." Colonel' Coppinger has proceeded to Washington to complain of the outrage, and to support his allegations. 'The occupation of the Floridas, and the conduct of General Jack son, are expected to give rise to lively discussions n the approaching Session of Congress.—(lbid.) `MORNING CHRONICLE.] We are given to understand that the Minis terial arrangements which have been some time in agitation, are for the present suspended, the difficulty of harmonizing conflicting interests and feelings having been found insurmountable. The projected introduction of Mr. Canning has been found so unpalateable in a certain high quarter, that all the urgent representations of old friends, strengthened by the absolute necessity for the aid of his talents, have been made without effect. But even if this difficulty could be got over, another, we are informed, still remains. The friends of Lords Sidmouth and Melville strenu ously oppose the proposed arrangements, while a third party, headed by Lord Londonderry and the Duke of Wellington, preserve a sort of armed neutrality, being willing to compromise matters for the appointment of Mr. Canning to the Go vernor Generalship of India. [M9RNING POST.] The American Papers, received yesterday, are silent with respect to the late events in Peru. On other points, however, they contain intelli gence of some interest ; they take up the hiStory of the insurrectionary movements in the Brazils, at a period of which no details had reached us, although we had become acquainted with some of their ulterior results. The chasm thus filled up, happens to have been a moment of particular importance, and . the information supplied is a necessary key to that of which we are already in [NEW TIMES.] possession. The seat of these attempts at revo- The details which have been received, througa lotion, it will be recollected by our readers, was the Philadelphia and New York Papers, of the Pernambuco.

The next intelligence genius of a single individaal might overcome even OieSe difilcnities, herculean as they appear, and as they are ; but where are we to look for this prodigy of intellect ? Some talk of Bolivar, some of San Alartin ; and there are evoi persons who dream that Lord Cochrane is to he the regenerator of South America ! To his Lord ship, who was justly sentenced to the pillory in England, we suppose we may apply the old adage—" Craton non animum mutant, qui trans mare eurrimt."—Bolivar has for several years filled a conspicuous station, with some credit to himself, as an individual ; but with little benefit to the country which has been the scene of his exploits, and which still remains in a state of la mentable desolation. As to San Martin, his im posing successes at Chacabuco, Maipn, and Lima, have given a splendour to his name ; but it re mains yet to bq. seen whether he is any thing than an adventurous partizan, and from that character to the Statesman who is to form a nation, the distance is immense. [MORNING HER k1,13.] We have introduced in another part of our paper some, articles relative to the labours of the Missionaries in some of the South Sea Islands.— (See the following Column.) —Though Re ligion is,of primary interest to mankind, it is not the only one that attaches to the , proceedings of those persons who devote their lives to the propa gation of Christian belief .in the room of barba rous idolatry.—lt happens in this, as in so many other cases, that the prosecution of a single good end leads to other results the most beneficial. In the train of religious instruction follows general knowledge and cultivation. Not only are these savage tribes released from the bondage of their mo nstrous superstitions, and imbued with the virtues as well, as the doctrines of Christianity, but drawn into the ways of general know ledge and civilization. It has been the en deavour of the Missionaries to cultivate among them the use of reading and writing, and in this, it appears, they have met with considerable suc cess. Even commerce may be materially in debted to their labours. They have introduced in some places articles of English manufacture for the dress of the natives, and, though this affords no profit for the moment, it may be the nucleus of a future and extensive interchange. Every encouragement, in our judgment, should be afforded to these missions, and such faci lities and inducements held out as would cause them to be undertaken by persons uniting capa city with zeal—who could open the eyes of those children of nature to the knowledge and practice of the useful arts of life as well as of religious faith and morality. Nothing travels so fast in the moral, as well as the physical world, as light —and if the success of these missions has„in some instances, been somewhat slow, we believe it has arisen in a great measure from their being defi cient in number and 41 means. The missionary cause, though taken up with zeal, talent, and liberality, still has been supported only by a part of the community. CADMAN. [From the Morning Herald.] The following letters were written by the un fortunate Cadman to his wife, a very short time previous to his death : Friday Morning, Nov. 16, 1821. My ever, ever Dear and - Adored Wife, Let me entreat you, as you value my peace, not to give your self up to despair on my account. GOD, in heaven, be praised for sparing your life. lam only sorry in the conviction of my being the only sole cause of your sufferings and misery; but. hope ALMIGHTY GOD, in his bounteous kindness, will par-' don my many transgressions committed in this world, and that I may be found worthy his salvation. I requested Dr. Cotton, this morning, to return thanks to the ALMIGHTY, for having, in his tender mercy, spared your dear, dear life—ever has it been my prayer, and GOD has been pleased to heal my wounded heart by his all-seeing goodness. Oh I may his all-bountiful hand be ever stretched out in protection to thee—when, alas ! I am no more, and cannotdo so. Happy, indeed, would have been my present state, had I been equal as a husband with you as a wife ; but it is now too late to repair the manifold grievances which I have, alas ! been the only wretched instrument of causing thee. But be of good heart, my ever, ever best and faithful wife—l am only going a little before you, to that home, where all perse cution ends. The few fleeting hours allowed me, between this and eternity, will soon pass away—and, therefore, it behoves me•to make the best use of them by penitence, by atoning to a just GoD for my sins. Think, my dear, dear partner, of my words. Well thou knowest, and proud am lin saying it, never was man so blessed in woman, never was there a wife, in kind ness, like my ever, ever adored Sarah ! Think of your kind actions, unnumbered acts Of generosity .to me, a worthless wretch, who did not thank my Gon for his bounty, but caused sorrow and wretchedness to fall on thy unoffending head. Had my life been spared, I felt inspired with the grace of Heaven, to do what was becoming my situation, and by a life of peni tence and industry, strove to alleviate the misfortunes that over whelmed thee. I have no friend to place a charge so dear but my GOD, and trust he will yet extend mercy farther to thee, and that thy days may be prolonged and happiness shine around thee. Remember me, Sarah, when I am gone, and let not idle scandal traduce my unfortunate memory. GOD be with thee now, and evermore ; so prays Your ever faithful and aflectionate do t i husband, JOSIAH CADMA N. P. S. I wish much to see you, do come as soon as posible, but control your feelings as you ove me. Wednesday Morning, 4 o'Clock, Nov. 21, 1821. My ever, ever faithful Wife, The short time allowed me between this and eternity, pre vents my saying much. My dear dear girl, I cannot possibly comply with your request for want of means at this moment to do so, which certainly hurts my mind • hut my actions to the last being supported with the most confident assurances of God's unparalleled goodness, will comfort thee I hope to shew the real man. My persecutors cannot remain behind me with the same satisfaction that I go to resign my life into the hands of those who made it. Let this comfort and support my poor poor girl, under her present, though temporary misery, that her husband shortly will pay the last obligation left 'him to perform to his kind and merciful Redeemer—that of receiv ing the Sacrament, which when performed, let him with humbleness go forth to approach a tribunal in heaven, and crave mercy there, since it has been denied by an earthly one. I feel confidence in thy last words, I shall be laid in, the grave of my mother, and have the happiest impression of shortly meeting both the spirit of her and my ever dear sister, and with another satisfaction at heart, we shall not long be parted. The lock of hair you gave me is plaited, and I have it' next my heart, where it will, thank Heaven, re main undisturbed; but on my . being taken down, recollect Sarah, on no consideration let it be omitted, let that and the letter which contains it be p laced on my heart, in the coffin, and then I have but to pay my last forfeit. Thine, thine eves, with the sincere wish every blessing in the hands of God will lie bestowed upon thee in this world, and I only wait for thee to make me truly happy. I have insured you friends on whose words I can rely, that they never will lose sight of you ; for which satisfaction I gratefully .thank my ever dear and blessed Redeemer. I wish you to see nie ere I am interred, and plant but one kiss on the cold lips of a loving husband. Gov be with thee, fear not—l shall be hapny. JOSIAH CAD MAN. Should you follow me, I have given directions for the last respect in my power to pay thee ; that a stone, after being in terred in the same grave, be erected, and what you really de serve, the following lines : She was; but words are wanting to say what— Think what a WIFE should be, and She was that. Thine ever to the last. MisdoNA.MEs. INTELLIGENCE from the SOUTH SEA ISLANDS. By the Hope, which left Port Jackson on the 10th of March last, Mr. and Mrs. If axwann, with Mr. C. Wtesos, of Taheite (who had mar ried in the colony), and Mrs. W., proceeded to Taheite, and arrived there on the 28th .of April. On their passage they touched at New Zealand, where they found the (Church) Missionaries in safety and health.—They also touched at an island called Raivaivai, or High Island, which is situated about 400 miles south-east of Taheite. Pomare hail visited this island about two years before, and liaing procured peace between two contending parties, then at war, was requested to take upon himself the sovereignty of the island,— Pomare wishing to promote the instruction of the people, engaged Para, a person from Taheite, ac quainted with reading and writing, who was then with him, to stay in the island, and undertake the work, until proper persons might be sent from Ta heite as Missionaries. Mr. Hayward and Mr.-Wil son, on touching at this island (but without coming to an anchor,) were surprised to find that the na tives had already made great progress in learning to read, &c. But Mr. S.P. Henry, son of Mr. Henry, one - of the Missionaries in Taheite, and who commanded the brig Governor Macquarrie, (which had been purchases at Port Jackson for Pornare,,who has engaged with some Gentlemen in the colony in commercial pursuits) called at the island, and was astonished at the change which had taken place, and which he thus ex presses in a letter to the Missionaries at Taheite : " Brig . Governor Macquarrie, Feb. 3, 1821. " On my way Luther, I had occasion to call at the island of Raivaivai, or High Island, to pro cure provisions ; and the circumstances which then came under my immediate knowledge and observation are of a nature so truly gratifying, and in which the great object of the Christian world is so closely interested, that I con ceive a detail of them will afford you a si milar gratification.—lt was Sunday when I Made the land, and I went on shore early in the morning. The na'Nes were all assem bled.to go to church. My presence detained them nearly an hour beyond the usual time of service. How affecting and delightful was the scene which presented itself ! Each individual on entering the clutch kneeled down and uttered a prayer; when Para, the person whom King Po mare left there for the purpose of instructing the natives, performed the service of the day. There were 848 assembled at the churclafor the worship of the Universal God ; 700 were withinond the rest were outside, unable to gain an entrance. — The very quiet, devout, and orderly manner in which they conthicted themselves, not only in church but during the Sabbath, awakened my highest admiration. The whole of their gods are mutilated, removed from their Morals, and were converted, into *tools at the entrance of the church, which is very neatly built the ground is nearly covered with grass, and pro vided with a sufficient number of forms. Its length is 117 feet, and breadth 27.—There are about twenty-five who have not yet adopted the religion of the Saviour, but who have renounced idolatry. They say, 4 We have no books, nor proper Missionaries to instruct us ; and we will wait till one comes, before we become Christians.' The rest appear very anxious that they should have a guide, like the happy islanders of this place.—This surprising and happy change has taken place within the short space of only four months ! It happened upon a great feast day, when all the natives ' and chiefs were as sembled.—The chief of the island, Tahu hu, together with Para (the teacher), most earnestly solicited that they might have a Missionary sent to instruct them.—l promis ed my utmost efforts to effect their wishes ; and I doubt not, Gentlemen, your wishes and your feelings will accord with mine in their com mon aud desirable object—the enlightening of these people in the knowledge of our SAVIOUR, and the road to happiness and eternal life. 46 I am, &c. " SAMUEL P. HENRY." By letters from Messrs. Williams and Threl' kold, dated Raiatea, 2d and 4th of July, 1821 we find that a Chief of an island called Rurutu, with several of his people, drifted ashore on Raiatea, and continued there 'three months. — The Chief applied himself with great diligence to learn to read, and also paid a serious attention to the .word preached, of which he has attained some knowledge. He expressed a strong desire that instructors might be sent to his island, and declared his unwillingness to return home unless such should accompany him ; and an opportunity being presented by the brig Hope, for convey ance to Rurutu, two members (natives) of the Church at Raiatea accompanied, as teachers, the Chief and his people, amounting to about 30, on their return to that island. In a letter written by the brethren immediately before the Hope sailed for Rurutu, they say, " The Church has entered into it with much spirit ; they are not sleeping to-night, but em ployed in preparing, as Capt. Grimes sails in the morning. They are collecting cloth, food, &c. for the two who are leaving us for Rurutu ; their names are Puna and Mahamene. We rejoice in being able to send (as we conceive 'them to be) two as fit and suitable in every respect as any two that could be found. We are much pleased with the whole of the circumstances, and pray most sincerely that the Lord may crown the undertaking with his special blessing. " .1. W." " L. G. T." ' The Chief of Rurutu promised the brethren that he would send his gods to England. May we not hope that the word of the Lord, intro duced in so extraordinary a manner into that island, will have free course and be glorified ? Let us not, however, indulge 'expectations too sanguine ; but hope and pray for the happiest results. • Captain Grimes has brought home in the Hope a considerable quantity of cocoa-nut oil—the contribution of the Auxiliary Missionary Society, composed of the converted natives of Taheite, &c. in aid of the Funds of the Parent Society.

PIRACY-AND MURDER. [TURTHER PARTICULARS.] HIGH COSIRT OF ADMIRALTY, SCOTLAND, " TUESDAY, NOVEMBER n. [Before Sir 3. CONNELL, Knt. Judge-Admiral of Scotland.] Yesterday. morning, the Court sat in the Chamber of the - first division - of the Court of Session, for the trial of Peter Hearnan and Francois Gaunez; otherwise Gautier, accused of the pirati..., cal seizure of the Jane, of Gibraltar, when on her voyage froth that place to. the Brazils, freighted with a valuable cargo, in , eluding specie to the amount of 38,180 Spanish dollars ; and farther charging them with murdering Thomas Johnston, the master, and James Paterson, a seaman of the said brig ; and -also with confining Peter Smith, and Robert Strachan; Seamen, in the forecastle, where, by attempting to suffocate them by smoke, the prisoners succeeded in terrifying the•said-,Spith and Strachan to assist them in seizing the vessel, which they after wards sunk oil' the coast of Ross-shire, and landed tile specie on. the Isle of Lewis, in that County. The circumstances of.this case, which attractei•the most in tense interest of a crowded Court, have already been stated. It will be recollected that the prisoners were apprehended by an officer in his Majesty's Preventive Service on the : Island of Lewis, in consequence of the information of a boy belonging'to the crew, whose confession was influenced by a horror' at the atrocity of the crime of murder, of which the prisoners stand accused. The evidence having been gone through, The Loan ADVOCATE and Mr. MAITLAND, the latter for the prisoners, severally addressed the Jury. After the uDGE Apar IRAL had taken a very minute survey of all the evidence, and delivered his opinion on the points which were principally dwelt upon by the Counsel on both sides, his Lordship charged the Jury to consider of their ver dict until half-past two this afternoon, till which time the Cour t, at half past six this morning, adjourned.
