THE LONDON JOURNALS. [DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. [MORNING HERALD.] There is every appearance of actual and pros pective quiet at present on the Continent, where there was recently so much of effervescence and alarm. Perfect tranquillity is said to prevail in Sicily and Naples. In the former, it is stated that the Cardinal Gravina has conciliated all; whilst, at Naples the people are celebrating the Easter solemnities with " no drawback upon the public gladness, but the absence of the heloved King." The Austrians have occupied the whole of the places of strength throughout that king dom, and are about to extend their protection to part of the Papal territory. In the latter there is also every symptom of a return to the usual state of things under the Government of his Holiness ; the most unequivocal of which is the re-appearance of several bands of highwaymen in the vicinity of Rome. As to prospective tranquillity, the strongest in dication is the undoubted halt of the Russian Army within the frontier of that empire, and the arrest and abandonment of military preparations in Austria, pursuant to orders from Laybach.— Spain is still vexed and stung by bigotted or de luded banditti, inspired with criminal hopes by the recent events in Italy, and the reported ap proach of a Russian army. But the Government, local • authorities, and militia, are proceeding against them with vigour and just severity. The Cortes have taken an important step. It appear ing that ecclesiastics were the chief fomenters of rebellion, a Committee has been formed to exa mine and report on their conduct generally. [MORNING POST.] The question of privilege lately brought be fore the House of Commons has naturally excited a deep and extensive interest ; and it is not un reasonably expected,' that, in various ways, much good, as well public as private, will result from it. It has been justly observed, that there is an unmitigated depravity of heart necessary to the practices lately resorted to (we may say on both sides, by the degraded portion of the Press), from which every well regulated mind must turn with loathing. • When fair and manly opposition degenerates into moral . assassination—when do mestic peace is assailed, either from the base mo tive of lucre, or the wretched desire to wound a public opponent—when the memory of the dead is blasted, because the honour of the living is unimpeachable—when even truth itself is utterly disregarded; and the ready lie forged to supply its place—when these practices are resorted to, in the pursuit of, a pretended political end, it were surely impossible that any other feelings should -be excited than those of abhorrence and disgust, which, to - the honour of our national character, we now find so generally pervade the 'land. The course pursued by Mr. Bennet in the present instance has been not only perfectly jus tifiable, but highly necessary to the cause of mo rality and truth ; and we augur much public and private good from the pledge which it affords with respect to the-future conduct of that Hon. -Gen. *lernan. Libels are too common, not merely upon individuals, both public and private, but upon Parliament itself. It is therefore plainly advantageous to have a Gentleman of Mr. Ben uet's vigilance and earnestness, virtually pledged to lend his assistance in repressing and correct ing them ; and that by this proceeding Mr. Ben net has so pledged himself is equally clear ; for it is impossible to suppose that in. what he has lately, done he has been actuated less by public than by private feeling or, consideration. When ever, therefore, the public tranquillity and wel fare are struck at through the character of Par liament, which he must equally regard with his own—whenever ruffianly assaults are made either upon the leading individuals or the general body of the House of Commons in particular, which has the most irksome duties to -perform—whe ther the mischief be attempted by pamphlet, news paper, or by any other mode—we may now safe ly hope and trust that Mr. Bennet will be among the. foremost to exert his faculties in vindicating the character not only of individuals of both par ties, but that of the House itself, and holding up to. just. reprobation its pestilential -assailants of: every description. [THE TIMES.] The exercise of the power of commitment by i the House of Commons always gives occasion to ail extremely unpleasant feeling out of the House and through the country. Nothing can sound softer in men's ears,or look prettier upon paper, 'than such expressions as these :--- , that the ' pri vileges of the House are the privileges of the people ;" " that they are for the good of the people;" " that the law of Parliament is , the law of the land ;" and various other apophthegms of similar moment. That -the privilege of the House is in one . sense the privilege of the people, we will readily acknowledge : the House has the privilege of making laws for the people ; and if it performs this its most important duty uith 'Out obstruction, it seems to have all that is ne cessary for its functions : for be it observed, that' if certain Members of the House of Commons were ever so scandalously vilified for giving their support to a Bill, still that Bill, having received the subsequent sanction of the House, and of the Lords, and King, would be equally binding upon -the subject, and be as much the law of the land as if every Member of the House of Commons had been the object of the most ardent praise while the measure was under consideration. It is clear, therefore, that obstruction' s the. only, thing which can prevent the House from exer cising those functions for which the House of Commons exists as a part of the Legislature ; and that abuse or libels may be left to the Courts of Law without invalidating the work of legis lation. This. is a privilege which no one will contest is for'the general good : .but a privilege of imprisoning the people, without judge, jury, plead ings, counsel, or trial—it would be very difficult (whatever the fact may be) to persuade the people that this is a privilege for their benefit or advantage. Let us look to the election. of - Members, in cases where they are not nominated—in counties for example : does any voter think or consider, that in choosing his representative he confers upon that representative a power of sending him to prison without trial, by lodging a complaint be fore the other representatives ? and that it is for the good of that voter and all the other voters of the kingdom, that he should be so sent to prison, if, in an unguarded moment, he vilifies the par liamentary conduct of one whom he had himself aided in sending into parliament ? Arid if this privilege is revolting when exercised by members really elected, how much more painful is it when put into action by the mere nominees of peers or other borough-holders, in whose election the people have no concern ? We know all the idle rant and declamation that is used upon this sub ject : as, " that if the House of Commons may not imprison thus summarily—if Honourable Members are to be slandered in the discharge of their duty, and the dilatory forms of the law are to intervene before the slanderer can be punished, there is an 'end of the House of Commons," &c. ; but we never yet heard one argument advanced, or attempted to be advanced, in support of the privilege ; the exercise of which, if it be practi cally necessary, is the more to be regretted, as it never implicates even the most criminal with out diffusing a general feeling of terror. It is further asserted that this power of punishing without trial by jury is the law of Parliament, and the law of Parliament is the law of the land : but if this practice (for no one now doubts the practice)—if this practice be the law of the land, we beg leave to ask what kind of law it is ? Is it statute or common law I We know no other as applicable to the government of British subjects. It cannot certainly be common law, for it is not that of which the origin exceeds the tradition or memory of man. Judge Hale, in his standard history, says that the period from which our common law emanates, goes back no further than the reign of Richard 1., when th e House of Commons did not exist, and therefore could have no such privilege : and if it is statute law, who - 4), we ask, is the statute to be found ? No such law ever passed King, Lords, and Com mons. That the House of Commons may have by-laws for its own government, and for the regu lation of its own proceedings ; and that those by laws, having received only the sanction of that one House, are binding upon its Members, no one can doubt ; but this privilege or practice goes out of the walls of Parliament, and fetches in British sub jects to be tried according to the rules of a body to which he does not belong; it drags him out of the ordinary walk and haunts of life, before a court to which neither the common nor statute law of his country, but only the resolutions of that court itself, have rendered him amenable. He is not allowed 'to take his counsel into that court to support him ; ( he is not to view the charges against him before he pleads. 'He looks around in the hopes of seeing a jury of his Peers to try him ; there is no such body. His accusers are his judges, or are among them. He asks for a sight of the indictment ; the accusation is oral only. He begs to cross-examine the witnesses against him ; he is not even allowed to hear them give their evidence: Arguments are urged at which he is not present. He might apply to the King for a remission of the sentence. The So. vereign has still less right to be heard in this court than the subject. The debate closes, and he finds himself immured in a prison. [NEW TIMES.] Consols closed on Saturday at 73 3 4 for Account, the general impression being favourable to a rise, principally on the ground of the expected finan cial statements. It is understood that while cer tain persons have been impeding the public busi ness, and occupying the public time with a suc cession of frivolous and vexatious objections to the expenditure, Ministers have been silently at work on the details of a cautious and judicious retrenchment in the various departments of the State. We have never dissembled our opinion that the return to Cash Payments was prema ture. We believe that the early adoption of that measure was the principal, if not the only cause of the distress which has fallen on certain classes of the community ; and so far we go along with Mr. Attwood in his very ingenious and' interesting speech on seconding Mr. Baring's late motion for a reconsideration of the cur rency question. The great evil was the sudden fall of prices, but it must not be forgotten that this evil has some concomitant advantages. The amount of the national expenditure may of course be greatly diminished, if due advantage be taken of the low prices (which we doubt not has been the case) in the formation of contracts for the supply of the army and navy. The tranquillised state of the Continent too, while it renders foreign Stock more valuable, reacts upon our own funds, and gives a general steadiness to the mo ney market. A new loan of about a million sterling has been concluded at Naples, under the guarantee of the Allied Powers. It is in a five per cent. Stock, and the shares are now selling in Paris at 65, which it is said affords a very con siderable profit to the original contractors. It is probable that something of the same sort must soon take place at Turin, where Victor Felix has at last consented to assume the regal title. The miscreants who attempted to revolutionise that country dilapidated its treasures, during their short sway, in the most shameful manner ; and some of them are supposed to have actually stolen large sums, with which th e y t oo k fli g ht. It is to be hoped that these robbers will be inde fatigably pursued, and given up to justice where soever they may endeavour to conceal their in famy, and . to enjoy the fruits of their villainy. Ever since the,establishment of John Bull, we have avoided speaking of that Paper, because a fair estimate of the good and evil which, in our opinion, it was doing, would have led us into long discussions without any ob vious use ; but now that it is made the object of attack by the pretended friends of the Liberty of the Press ; now that its faults are exaggerated and cried out against, with af fected horror, by men in our estimation far more reprehensible, it becomes our duty to say what we really think of that Journal. We think; them, that it has done much to unmask political hypocriSy, and to reduce to its true level political charlatanerie : we think that with some most blameable severities and even unfeelingnesses toward individual females, it has done much to rescue the female morals of the country from one great contamination ; and with some unfortunate violations of Parliamentary Privilege, it has con tributed in no trifling degree to defend the cause of the Parliament and the Constitution in a crisis of imminent danger. By what hands this has been principally effected will probably remain for ever a secret;and perhaps the principal contributors to the work are even unknown to each other.— The secret of Junius has been preserved above half a century ; but that of John Bull is of a dif ferent nature. The paper was made by the crisis. Weapons of the deadliest kind had been hurled at all that we hold dear. Private and public ca lumny had been alike directed against the Legis. lature and the Sovereign, against the liberties, the morals, and the religion of the country. Numerous individuals no doubt were eager to ward off, some one blow, and some ano ther. All that was wanting for them was a ral lying point ; this, the persons who have been brought to the bar of the House of Commons, or even men inferior to them in ability, might easily have supplied ; and in so doing they were almost certain of obtaining a rapid sale for their publication, and consequently, of securing to themselves a handsome profit. This affords to our mind a sufficient solution of the mystery with which John Bull was enveloped, and with which it was the obvious interest of the proprietors to envelope it. The occasional contributors were probably numerous : the Editors may neither have known nor have sought to know who sup plied their lion's mouth—sure that, at such a period, and in such a country, it could not want materials for its weekly repast. It is possible indeed that there may have been something more in the business than we have here surmised ; but to imagine that any member of the Government, or other eminent person in the State, would ven ture to undertake the direction of such a ma chine, is to know very little of the human mind, and nothing at all of that strong feeling of re sponsibility, which, in the present state of society, is so universally prevalent among public men.—(Aid.) [ALORNING CHRONICLE.] We certainly are far from approving of the assumption of uncontrolled power by the House of Commons, in the punishment of Breaches of Privileges, and have always thought that that power ought to be limited to the removal of ac tual obstructions to their debates, We, there fore, wish that the infamous attack on Mr. Ben net, which has lately occupied so much of the attention of the House, had been proceeded against in a different manner. It was well ob served by Sir Francis Burdett, that the only per son in the case who could be said to have been guilty of a breach of privilege, of really inter fering with the freedom of debate, was the per son who called upon the Hon. Member (Mr„ Bennet) to account for what he was supposed to have said in Parliament.—One thing cannot fail to strike all reflecting persons in the speeches of Ministers, and in the comments on the case in the Ministerial Papers, namely, the attempt to white-wash John Bull, at the expellee of the Press in general. Lord Lon donderry seemed to see no difference, in a moral point of view, between a misrepresentation inad vertently committed in the report of a speech, and the studied malignity of the attack on Mr. Bennet. The present offence could by no means, he said, be considered as more flagrant than the one (an acknowledged unintentional misrepresentation) to which he alluded."— God help him ! "He should certainly," ob served also his Lordship, " have been happy, if at a time when torrents of libels were poured forth against individuals as valuable as'the Honourable Member who was the object of the present, a manly and British spirit of in dignation had manifested itself on the other side of the House against those infamous at tacks, and in support of our most sacred insti tutions." In the very same spirit The Courier of Saturday observes, " A year or two ago (not to refer to a more recent period), when a gang of ruffians were evidently co-operating to traduce and vilify every thing that is venerable and ex cellent in the State ; when the Throne, the Altar, and the Bench were defiled by one com mon and indiscriminate eruption of foul and ma lignant falsehoods—and when private calumnies were heaped upon all who were the friends of Government in the most atrocious manner—what then did the Opposition say and uo ? Did they lend their influence to stem the polluted torrent ? Did they raise their voice to arraign the crimi nals ? Did they interpose their shield to protect an adversary, or defend the Throne ? No. Their influence was exerted indeed, but it was to em barrass the Executive who sought to abate the nuisance ; their voice was heard, and loudly heard ; but it was to transfer the blame from the criminal to the victim ; the shield was displayed, but it was to save the guilty." Now we are far from wishing to defend the licentiousness of the Press, or from approving of some of the pub lications, which periodically or occasionally have appeared both in this metropolis and else where. But among the most objectionable of the publications which ever issued from the Press of this Country for many years, we have seen no thing which could at all come into comparison with John Bull. General abuse directed against the public conduct of men filling public situa tions, intemperate declamation against real or supposed corruption, loud and unqualified con demnation of the abuses in the representation of the country, we have often seen. But is there any analogy between such an exercise of the Liberty of the Press, as we have been describ ing, and the system on which John Bull has uni formly been conducted ?—ls there no difference between intemperate argument, misplaced decla mation, or vague abuse, and the private slander, which day after day has been served up with so unsparing a hand to the readers of the Journal in question ? The old and the young, the dead and the living, have all been by turns the sub jects of this calumny ; and most ungenerous and most merciless of all, to pander to the base and depraved appetites of those who delight in such - entertainments, an incessant war has been waged against' female delicacy. Now it deserves to be remarked that this Journal (John Bull) has an extensive Circulation, chiefly among the upper classes of society, and has been powerfully patronised by many of the more dis tinguished Tories. Every one knows too that the real libellers are not 'those who are now in Newgate, and some of them are confidently named on more than mere vague report. Let it be borne in mind too that the. Patrons of this publication, the most base and disgraceful that ever issued from the press of this country; have always been loud in their declamations against the licentiousness of that Press, that they are the authors of the Banishment Bill, and the encoti ragas of Constitutional Associations. All this surely will have its weight with the country. Lord John Russel has just published a most valuable and Interesting Essay on the History of the English Government and Constitution, from the reign of Henry VII. to the present time.— Lord John, in a short advertisement says, " The design upon which the following Essaywas written, comprehended much more than has been yet accomplished. It was my object to illustrate by an analysis of the history of the Governments of modern Europe from the commencement of the 15th century, two very plain, but somewhat neglected truths. The first is, that the Mo narchies of the Continent of Europe have been, generally speaking, so ill adapted to make their subjects virtuous and happy, that they require, or required complete regeneration. The second is, that the Government of England ought not to be included in this class ; that it is calculated to produce liberty, worth, and content among the people; whilst its abuses easily admit of reforms consistent with its spirit, capable of being effected without injury or danger, and mainly contribut ing to its preservation. _ _ The latter portion of this work is the only part (except an introduction to the whole) that I have finished. The reason why it is thus prematurely published without sufficient concoc tion or correction, is to be attributed to the vanity of imagining it may at this period be of some service. It may at least pro voke the wits, and excite the thoughts of other Men to a more happy attention to subjects in which every member of this free community has an interest of the deepest importance." • With this modest preface the Noble Lord en ters into the most plain and concentrated review of the British Constitution that has ever come before the public view, and by a careful perusal of this little volume, it will be seen how truly rational, moderate, practicable and safe, the opi nions of the Whigs are for the reform and pre servation of the system, for the existence of which Ike are indebted to their ancestors.—(lbid.)
