THE LONDON J 0 LitNALS. IDA . I,LY. - .EXTRACTS ERON - 1 7 111E MORNING PAPER: [The Times.] We yesterday received a private account from Naples, stating that all the regular troops had on the 14th ult. marched f-or the frontiers. The regular force 'already there (meaning, we believe, the north western frontier) 'consisted of -10,000 men, under Carascosa ; and of 40,000 militia, on the line from Terracina, north of Sora. The de fect of militia would, of course, he on the side of discipline ; but it is a want which may be power fully sup plied by patriotic zeal and courage. The preservation of tranquillity in the capital itself, was left to 15,000 of the civic guard, raised for that express purpose, The King's letter, and the hateful projects avowed by the Holy Al lience, had made Carbonari of the whole body of our countrymen at Naples ; a•nd the uneasi ness at first created by the murder of the police officer was much removed when it became appa rent that the assassins had been influenced by pri vate revenge. • [New Times.] It is muchtoberegetted that the accidental failure of the House of Commons yesterday ( Which ought not, indeed, to occasion any surprise, after the fatigue to which the Members, have - been exposctd . Al4,N . veoc),s4uld have prevented .tie Chancel-lot% . the Exchequer from bringing-. ferw'ard tlifliet:lure for the more speedy resunip tion of the Cadm Paynients • .of the, Bank. As this measure is cif such general importance, and has • sd.;nmuch i t;!reSt in the public, we have thouilat ; ite.our.duty to,obtain the.most accurate inftitimat(Cer - 11 S te . ' its object' and operation. By . • ;.i v iLWl .11'6:1;1; - ik r st,rictiOn (the . .5.9th Geo. 111. c. 13. s. it was provided, that the Bank might, on the Ist May, I:Bg.`2;or at any time after, pay off auy of their notes in cash. The object of this pro • was, to allow of a partial issue of gold to the hefpre the Bank .Could be called upon. to make - their , general-payment in cash, by way of . prephrtiiien:,and with a view to the gradually rta n. quantity of coin into the circulation of the country.

The Country Bankers cannot' becalied upon to pay their notes in gold -till after the.

Completely off: their • guard . They-hut -/atq wolm , ' - the = mask 'of Incideration.` They'werw•iii the habit- - during that , period of denying..with , :Warmth concurrence •in any project, which, under the-guise of reform, aimed at a _fundamental ,change_ in the Constitution. They took. ,so much-care .to, mark their opinions in this respect, and -published them with such an air of :ostentation, that, they provoked the full wrath,. and drew upon themselves a : fair por tion of the abuse,-which the disaffected manifest towards the friends of the established Govern ment, .Instead of shrinking from, they seemed to court this hostility. They used to call it a sure test of the soundness of their principles, and they 'wereaaustomed to compliment themselves upon tilt. hostility . with which they were treated by the Itadicals.. In fact, an active warfare was waged between both ; and the .Whigs carried it on with so much spirit, mixed with Such contempt or rather abhorrence of their ad versaries, that tile idea Of a coMproMise, mech less of a reconciliation, was not' thought of.' In their foreign policy, too, which was always more equivocal, they evinced a disposition to give up the'most obnoxious of their principles, and seemed as . if they were willing to renounce the" frippery of the F renc h sc h oo l f or the plain, honeSt, 'sterling worth of the English. The Mt of a Throne, the overthrow of a State, the Subjugation of an ancient Kingdom, the proS tration of a - brave people, and all the nuMber less atrocities aid miseries • accompanying these acts, ceased to be objects of their' praise, though perpetrated by their favourite worthies, —the Champions . of Jacobitiisiri. They began to speak With more reserve of those regenerators who wrote their laws with the point of the sword,•••and -puhlished their edicts -from the mouth of a cannon: Even those military adven turers, who• made use of the . tree of liberty as a ladtier to.moteb on Thrones, were no more the objects •oft their unqualified panegyric. These, and: the...oti . :er chief actors in theowild and sari , guinary-drama -of that period, were seen to sink in the, estimation of-time Whigs ; though it is but jeStice to state that their cause; was declining. lloweNer, the Whigs had the merit of turning, in time; They did not stick to what was sup posed tp be- a desperate cause. They slunk into the-rear of: the victors, and joined in the trumphs of justice and of their country with all the cheerfulness they could muster up for the occasion. [Morn;ng Chronicle.] Tho calm-and observant part of -the commu nity base long foreseen that the Land-owners, who have so unifory..ly , supported Ministers in the wasteful syston that has at length brought the people .to sut_ll misery, would become,the most vehement in their lamentations Whet' the consequences of their own folly came .home to them. Certainly the Mover _and Seconder of the Motion for an Agricultural Committee were not the hest entitled to take lead in such a measure; nor it , it by an Agricultural Committee that an impartial inquiry into the cause of the evil can be made, and its effeotOal remedy lie proposed.-1 'The Cotinnittee should be general, to ascertain the , state of : the country, and to make the relief general. No shifting of burdens wili do. The various classes are so dependent on one another,.that one cannot be pinched without the whole suffering. It is consoling to see, that with all our hardships, and amidst all our contentions, no party will suffer the slightest infringement on national faith. . To the great and noble principle of national faith we owe all our distress, because to it_ we owe the accumulation of •Oir enormous debt—since if we had not been just to the public creditor, we could not have gone on borrowing from year to year; but having, almost to our ruin, been faithful to our erwagements, we must look to the same principle of fidelity for the slow means of national recovery. That can alone be found in retrenchment. Notin paltry and trifling reductions, but in broad and universal economy. In cutting off every thing that can be spared— and reducing the expence of every department that must be continued—without this the time is not distant, when NI ith all our honesty we must be bankrupt. proi , nin g ' We yesterday received Paris Papers of Mon= day, with private letters of the same date. The only ' - communication of public interest from Naples is, that tire Prince Regent, after the long debate of the 1 sth nit., issued from the Hall of the Parliament at the head of 'the Members, and read before the assembled multitude a formal Declaratior. of War 44 against Austria and the coalesced Powers." We should suspect that the Declaration must have been limited to the first-mentioned Power. It is true the King of Prussia has adhered to, the proceedings at Lay back, and. the Austrian Declaration states, that the magnanimous Alexander will assist his Impe rial :Brother, if.necessary. But still, whilst the troops of these two nations keep out of the field, it is not to be,supposed that Naples would be the first to adopt a course declaratory of unequi vocal relations of war. We should therefore conclude, that .this is one of the perfidious and unavailing distortions of fact which The Gazette de Erailce, and other journals of the same party, daily send forth respecting Spain, Naples, and Portugal. The intention of marching against Rome is again ascribed to the Neapolitans —but we disbelieve, it. They might have made a d a sh upon Rome and seized the Austrian stores; but . in this there would have been more ostentation than value. [British Press.] An article of intelligence from Turin, of the 26th of last month, says, that the Grand Duke of Tuscany is seriously indisposed, and it is remark ed that this.circumstance has probably prevented the demand for an auxiliary Tuscan corps to act against Naples from being pressed by the Austrians. This Would imply that a demand to this effect had been previously made by. the Court of Vienna,' and the statement is the more remarkable as , coming from Turin, whose Monarch must be considered as placed in similar circumstances with regard to the, contending Powers of Austria and Naples, as those in which the Grand Duke of 'Tuscany finds himself. We should like to know: whether a demand for an auxiliary corps had been made to the King of Sardinia. Sardinia and ! Tuscany,were not invited to the Congress of Lay bach, they are therefore not parties to the ayes sion upon Naples ; still if th e pre t en C e set up by"', the great Allied Powers .for interfering in the affairs of Naples .had the slightest pretence of truth ; these v er y P owers oug h t to b e t h e f o r emost in the attack, for they are more likely to be affect ed injuriously, either by any extraordinary deve lopment of the resources of Naples, or by the destrUctive influence of the alleged anti-social principles iinputcd . to the prevailing party in Naples, should they assume an increased activity, than Austria, Prussia, or Russia. The encroach ing power of Austria in Italy is no less displeas ing to the Princes of the Peninsula than it is de tested by the people. The jealousy of the Ultra Montane States is as strong at this day in Italy as at any time during the 15th and 16th centuries, and Tuscany would ill brook to untie its few troops under the Austrian banners, for the pur pose of promoting the influence of that overgrown Power within the Peninsula. A Pickpocket Detected and Apprehended by a Dog.---A curious instance of the sagacity of a dog was stated at Hattot-garden Office yesterday, on the examination of three juvenile pickpockets, ❑amely, James ‘Newbury, aged years, Wil liam Camelford, aged. ten, and Charles Jewel, aged nine, Mr. Edward King, of Hide-street, Lijoonsbury, deposes, : that about eight o'clock the preceding night, as he was:going along the west side of Lincoln's-inn fields; he was accosted by the, three prisoners, who folloWed him a short distance, begging him to give them a halfpenny.;. he deSired them to, be gone, and felt something at his pocket, but did not suspect thei?\design un)il he was alarmed by the screams cc& the youagest prisoner; on looking round to ascertain the cause, he found it proceeded, from his (Mr. king's) dog having a hold of hiM by the coat, and pulling him, and on his going to beat away the dog, the dog let go his hold, and made' a snatch at a handkerchief which the prisoner had in his hand, and pulling it from him, gave it to witness, who on looking at it-, discovered it. to, be 'his own ; the, person ran off, but he took him and gave him in charge to, a watchman. The prisoner informed the watchman that he would find the other two who escaped sleeping in a cart in French . Horn-yard, Holborn, which proved to be the case. Mr. Arnold, the Gaoler of Clerkenwell, identified, the younger as a noted pickpOcket who had bee❑ lately discharged from prison.. The three prisoners 'swore. committed for SUICITIE.—On Saturday last ageutleman's ser vant put a period to. his existence by hang ing himself to , the . hed-post, at his lodgings, the. King's liead,public house,Albermarle-street, Piccadilly.. The deceased had been out of asitua= tion for about.three weeks, during which time he always appeared ina very low and disponding state although not-in embarrassed circumstances. An Inquest has been held upon the body, who re turned, a, yerdic t ef;---/llsanity. ELECTION or AN ALDER\IAN toR ERIDGE WARD. In consequence of the resignation of Sir Mat thew Bloxarn, the late Alderman of Bridge Ward, a ‘Vardmote was yesterday held in Fish mongers' hall, for the purpose of electing a sue- - cessor. The Lord Mayor presided. Mr—hol land, Mr. Casberd, and other Counsel were in attendance. The Loan MAYOR opened the business of the day by a prefatory exhortation to 'the contending parties to restrain themselves as much as possible within the'bounds of moderation. - .His- Lordship expressed his sincere friendship fox both Candi dates, and hoped, that if in the course of the con test any difficulties should arise, he should be able to decide with the impartiality thai became the situation he then had the honour of holding. - Mr. TILT. proposed Mr. Garrat as a Candidate for the vacant -gown, who he said was opulent enough to allow him to devote himself to the office which he was qualified, by his numerous virtues, to fill with honour to himself and his Constituents. Mr. BERTRAM seconded the nomination. On the news of the vacancy he went round with some other Gentlemen to ascertain the feeling of the Ward, and this he was sure was in favour of Mr. Garrat, on whom had had the honour to wait with a Requisition, calling upon him to come for ward and preserve the peace of the Ward, by ac- ceding io the wish of his fellow-inhabitants, by no less than 107 of whom it was signed. Mr. No AKES wished, before the business of the election was gone into, to present Mr. Garrat a sort of counter-Requisition; from twelve of the per sons who had signed the Requisition before,men tioned, desiring that their names might - be with drawn froth it, as they stated that their signatures had been obtained by misrepresentation,.and now that they had discovered-the mistatetnent, they wished that their names .might be withdrawn. ' Mr.. BEVINGTON proposed . Mr. Sheriff Wit , Hams. Be knew no man that was more fit than . the Worthy Sheriff to fill the situation' of a Ma gistrate, from his great knowledge of the Crimi nal Code, 'his acquaintance with the state of our prisons, and his general knowledge of every thing that was connected with the welfare and good order of the Citizens and City at large. Mr. PEWTERIS said, that if a good private cha racter were lie only qualification required toAill the office of an' Alderman, there might be some difficulty in deciding -upon the merits of the two candidates; but the influence of the public cha racter of an Alderman not only extended over: the whole of the City, but over thc whole of the kingdom ; it ' , was therefore , of vast im-1 portance that their repreSentative should be equally distinguished •for public ability as for private virtue. Mr. Garret was not known to them ,as a public character, and indeed he had always hitherto chosen rath er t o re ti re i n t o hi s. domestic Circle wlien:Called upon to fill any pub 7 lic Office, than to step forward into those stations which men of affidence and leistire were expected to fill for the benefit of those Who had not such advantages.----With respect to Mr; Sheriff Wil liams, he had perferthed every office that he had been requested to fill, with zeal and ability, and hail - given_more than ordinary marks of his pos sessing a superior mind. Mr. gAfiltAl' said, he offered himself at the solicitations of a number of the most respecta-' He inhabitants of the Ward. He was sorry that this had been made a party queStion, for he was himself no partisan. With respect to the charge of his not being a tried public man,ite would say that a good private character was an earliest of a good public one. He next commented on a Let ter which had appeared in a public Journal, charg ing him with being a Ministerial man. He de precated the charges contained in the letter in question, as being most libellous. For himself he really thought, that in the election of an Al derman his politics were a minor consideration. They should look to the private character of the candidate, and see that the. heart was good at the core, and if that were good, nothing but what was .good could emanate from it. He would give no political pledge, and with respect to his political opinions, he would say, that he was neither a Whig nor a Tory, nor . any thing by name. But if he were . elected to the office he should think it Ids duty as a Magistrate, to honour the and to support the laws. He should' think it his duty to support the Gotternment so long as he could support it conscientiously. lie had been questioned as to his opinions with regard to Parliamentary Reform. lie had answered .that he had not put himself forward to be their Re . - presentatie in Parliament, and that titen he did would. he the time to qUestion him upon "the subject. He was no politician--he hated the name of politics—but he would 'say, that if be were chosen, he would support in the Common Council Reform in Parliament._ I Mr. Sheriff 14ILI-Luis apologised to the Ward niote triat he could not addreSs them so fully as he wished, on account of a severe indisposition under Which he was then labouring. It was highlygratifying - to him even'to be thought worthy Of being presented to the notice of a Ward so re spectable, as a Candidate for so high and serious an office. It was gratifying also to him that no spirit of party rancour had, as yet been displayed in this contest ; a spirit so odious to him; that hoWever he might be visited with it,' he should never be provoked to return it. Whatever might be the result of this contest, nothing should in. duce him to act otherwise than a fair l . open, and liberal Englishman, ores a gentleman would do,— If he had any talents they were at their best seri. vice,- and he offered himself on the principles of liberality, of freedom, and , the principles of'the British Constitution. The ()Teat charge a ga i ns t hitn was.-his being - what they chose to call an Alien in the Ward. But if a residence amongst them was important, he would put it. -to them, whether a gentleman, who resided ten miles : out of town, was much better off than one who sle.p.t five miles out of town, anti was in town during the whole of the day, at, no great( r dis tance from them than the distance-from one,ex trejnity Qf the Ward to another. He pledged himself, however, as a man ol,honour, that if he were elected, he would either•become a-resident among his Constituent:), or resign his gown, which he would never retain but with the good will of the majority of ,the inhabitants, for he despised the man who could retain a place , under other circumstances. :He had been brought tip-in the love of freedom, which, ,would never diminish with him ; but it did not know on that account that he should not respect the eNisting , autho rities. He had the _approbation of his Majesty and the. Government for his conduct in office but if he were returned, lie should endeavour to .abstract himself .much more from party politics. His great endeavour would be to make more friends than he•had when.he set out, ond to con ciliate his opponents. • it would .be .his great boßst hereafter, if he gained-the office, that he had more hearts with him then, that► he had when lie was chosen. • Mr. SAUNDERS followed in support of the Wprthy Sheriff, as did also Mr.-Thornhill and several .other inhabitants, in long and spirited sPe'eches, which produced edually•long rejoinders from the friends of Mr. Garrat, when an inhabi4 tant stepped forward, and begged that the speakers would have some mercy on the Lord Mayor, and each other, and .suffer the. Election to be proceeded in. The Loan 'MAlmit then put the Candidates in nomination, when the choke of the Ward was de clared to have fallen on Mr. Sheriff Williams by a considerable majority. A poll .was demanded, which •went ott„but slowly,as nearly the whole of the afternoon was taken up by long arguments between the Counsel upon the admissibility of votes. At four o'clock the poll closed, and the numbers were declared as follow : For Nix. IV.illiants ....... 2.3 For Mr. Garrott Majority 4 The poll continues until ,Saturday ItEsuLTs qf a Alf:Tk:ottoLotiicAL JOURNAL, . JOT February 1821, kept at the Obserratc,s of Gosport.
