THE LONDON ,JOURANALS. [DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. - urna . • ottNING POST.] Yesterday afforded another proof of the com plete triumph of justice and loyalty over all the delusions of the past and the arts of the sedi tious. Hii Maiesty's . Birth-day ivas diStinguished by a Drawing-rootn, decidedly the most splendid ever wi'tne'ssed in this or any other country ; and a Bali . of . unparalleled magnificence closed the cOehrationof the happy occasion.. Every thing coviibined to render the day one 'of uniningled festivity.. On high; all was brilliancy of sun- shine:Hon earth,: all was good-will and exulta tion. Thousands of well-dressed individuals crowded the Park at an early hour, and. lined all the avenues to the Royal Palace. The metro polis sent. forth all her life and beauty to add a beam to 'the festival, as well as to enjoy its splen dour ; 'whilst from the most distant provinces of the empire, the Gentry and Nobility, all ranks and all parties, flocked to. lay their homage at the feet of their Sovereign. Never before had such numbers in one single day assembled round the Throne. Never had they.. been animate i by purer sen ti me nts and warmer love. All felt that it was not to a mighty King alone, but to an INJURED DEAN, that the offering of their hearts was due. They did not come to.bask in Royal splendour=they came to assure:their common Father of the attachment and admiration of his children. They came to prove that whatever dangers might arise; they had; espoused, and would support his cause.— Nay, they came to vindicate the character of their country ; for every knee bent in homage before the Majesty: Of England, gave pledge that disloyalty only' existed in the calumnies of a mischievous or senseless few. The enemies to constitutional monarchy, to order, and to reli gion, if any Such. remain in this country, have received their death-blow. The land has risen, as If by common consent,in behalf of the Throne and the Altar-The cause of Justice is trium phfait—Loyalty is once more acknowledged and practised as a virtue ; and 'peace and prosperity will.naturally follow this return to sound prin ciples and public, duty. Intelligence of some interest relative to the contest between the Turks and the Greeks in the Morea was received on Wednesday from Patras. AVe collect the . details from letters direct from that place, and from passages in the mercantile correspondence both from Trieste and Leghorn. It appears that . a,perfect understanding existed between the northern and southern provinces of Greece, and that a day was to be fixed by the leaders in the north for a general rising in the "Morea against the Turks. Two messengers, charged with this important mission, arrived at Patras in the beginning of, the l'ast month ; and the leaders of the Greeks had determined, in consequence of the instructions communicated to them, that the Turks should be attacked on the sth or 6th. By tile treachery, however, of some individuals who were in the secret, their intention became known to the Turks, whose forces being inadequate. to the resistance of an insurrectionary spirit in the. whole popula tion, they retired into the citadel and fortified themselves in that position. Gaining confidence from the apparent tranquillity of the town, they shbrtly afterwards ventured out of theirentrench ments, and committed some acts of aggression against the houses of those inhabitants who were suspected of acting a conspkuous part in the de signs for the subversion of the Turkish power. Among these was the Palace of the Bishop, which mas Set on fire and deitioyed. These outrages filled the Greeks with indignation : they col 10;ted in large numbers,.and making a desperate onset on the Turks, drove them back with,consi derable loss into the citadel. In that situation the town remained when the accounts came , away: The Ttirkish garrisqn were cannonading the town from. the citadel ; and. as the Greeks were not in possession of any artillery, there was no..prospect of their being able to make any im pression on it before the arrival of reinfOrcements to the Turks should render all further resistance unavailing. {NEW TIMES] No accounts have yet been received from Turkey respecting -the :Greek insurrection, of such autlt,entieity merit . confidence, or of such . minuteneSs• as to - Satisfy ,curiosity.- From Moldavii and 'Wallachia we have only confused rumours, and t fpin hine„ the Morea .have been still more vague4o.,unsatisfactory.

Such are the - advkes of which the substance bas reached this country. We lay it before the public without pledging ourselves for strict accuracy of the intelligence contained 1.• [BRITISH PRESS.} At a late hour last night we received Paris Papers of Monday. The Constilutionel informs as that a projet of law will be very shortly pre sented to the French Chamber of Deputies, au thorising the Government to apply the necessary funds to the construction of two fortresses in the interior of France. Such fortifications are evidently not intended for promoting the security of the country from foreign invasions, or for repelling the aggression of foreign enemies ; their object is to controul the expression of popular feeling, and to enable the Government at its discretion to make experiment of military force in checking the people. We do not say that there might not be some good pretext at the present moment for throwing around the Government every appear ance of perfect security, but there certainly can be no necessity for new fortresses in the heart of the country ; the French people in general evince no disposition hostile to the Bourbons, the troops have shewn themselves faithful to their King ; so that should the Government now require new fortresses, they must be regarded not as securities for the throne, but as fetters upon the people. [MORNING HERALD.] Monday's Paris Papers arrived last night. They reiterate the advance of the Russian army upon Italy, and describe Spain as on the eve of a great convulsion. " Symptoms of an approach ing change," says the Journal des Debuts, in an article of the 23d from Iran, 44 manifest them selves in all the provinces of the kingdom." The same paper adds, that on the 20th a rebel. Chief, with a thousand armed men, presented himself before Salvatiera, near Vittoria ; that the Na tional Guard came out to attack the rebels, but were overpowered and made prisoners—all but four, who, on their return, spread consternation in the town. Orders were immediately given to all the National Guards of Biscay to take arms and pursue the traitors. Letters from Valladolid, continues the same Journal, state, that a rebel Guerilla party was traversing Old Castile. It was at Madrid, however, that the greatest alarm was created by the following circumstance :—On Holy Thursday it has been the usage in Spain for the Sovereign to join a religious procession, which always takes place on that day : King Ferdinand had just prepared to leave his Palace for this purpose, when an anonymous letter, re ceived by the Political Chief of the Province, announcing that an attempt would be made on' the King's life, caused the King to remain within the Palace. The mob, perceiving his absence, were so clamorous, that it was thought necessary to guard the Palace by a military force. We take these particulars from the journals not hostile to the present order in Spain ; and it will be observed that the Spanish Jour nals indignantly repel the falsehoods and ca lumnies of the French Ultra Papers. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] It is singular, that up to this period of the Session, no Message from the Crown has been sent down to the two Houses'of Parliament re specting his late Majesty's last will and testa ment. It ig generally believed, that in conse quence of the Act which allowed his ,Majesty to dispose of his private property, instructions were given to the Lord Chancellor to prepare a will, and it is believed that the 'formal signature and sealing of the deed was only prevented by the melancholy visitation of Providence, - which en dured for the remainder of his Majesty's life. It has been for some time expected, that a Mes sage from the King would bring this important subject before Parliament ; that as the 'inten tions of his late Majesty were perfectly made lnown to the first legal authority in the kingdom, and as Lthe trustees of his property are able ,to -give all the necessary information as to its particulars and amount, it might be determined whether the disposition designed by the deed should not be carried into effect, or whether the ,property should devolve on the Crown, as if no will existed. If it was the late King's intention that the savings he made should be distributed among the royal branches of his family, we•are 'sure :that national gratitude and affection would rejoice to see it so applied. If, on the contrary, it falls to the Crown, it becomes available to the public service. Of the total amount of the. property, - we are 'ignorant. the Library at Buckingharn _House is truly yaluahle. The,' Palace at Weymeuth has been sold by 'Pobia-ri rauction, and his 'late Majesty had other landis-, and -funds. .After- his death, we understand; Lthat on Iris present Majesty's.first visit to 'Windsor, iColonel 'faylor: pointed: out-to-him several sealed pa at s, addressed 'the Queen of Wurtemberg ',and - the other. Princesses, with directions on the envelopes that they should be sent to their Royal Highnesses unopened, which was accordingly done,,,,We.have not heard whether any merno randum or minute respecting the Will and l'es ament.w.as found at the same time or since. CAUTION TO PARISIIES.--TOn Wednesday las an interesting case to parishes came on at the Warriickshire Sessions. It was an appeal against the removal -of-a pauper, upon the ground that an indenture of apprenticeship was illegal, when signed by the Churchwarden of a Parish in which' an immemorial custom only to elect one Church warden could not be supported. Mr. STOCKDALE 11.titnY, from the Ecclesiastical Court, produced a number of ancient documents,, to prove that, at for- Mer periods, two Churchwardens had been elected and acted for the parish, which now only had one Churchwarden ; and the court, upon the autho rity of the case of the KING V. BMISBY and some othersi quashed the order of removal. We insert the case as a caution to parishes in general, to elect two Churchwardens in future, unless an immemorial custom to send only one can be esta blished. An Act' has been introduced into Par= liament to cure the. defect; but as it will proba bly only have a retrospective effect, the caution, as to the election of two Churchwardens, is ne cessary, in order to prevent future inconvenience. New Potatoes, the size of a racket-ball, were yesterday morn ing sold at a Greengrocer's, in Leadenhall-market, at the MODERATE price of 3s. 6d. a pound"! . , FOR TIIE SUN. ON THE MUSICAL DISPUTES OF FRANCE. In Italy, men never dispute respecting Music, but only on the merits of Musicians. With re gard to the Art, all Italians are agreed on this point, that theirs is the beet and the only good Music; they are in the right, if dramatic and concert singing are, and ought to be, one and the same thing. The amateurs in that country, therefore, who are still warmer enthusiasts than those of France, may very well discuss the pre eminence of individual composers, but they never dispute on scientific Music, on dramatic Music, or on Music ad libitum, the most common of all. The Germans in general like Italian singing, but with reason they pride themselves on Ger man harmony. This taste, very reasonable of itself, would put an end to all dispute - s, if the most scientific harmony could always be united to the most melodious airs, and if these two parts of Music could be adapted to the stage, without losing or abandoning some of their pe culiar merits. In France they dispute on the pre-eminence of composers, and to which of their master-pieces the preference is to be given'; they dispute on the excellence of the respective schools, on the different kinds of musical science, on concert singing, on operatical singing, on the system of accompaniments, on the legitimacy of this or that concord, and on the employment of such dis cords ; these contentions have continued a long time, and apparently will never terminate ; and would to God all disputes were confined to this subject ! This difference of opinion which exists among musicians and amateurs proves evidently that in France there is no generally recognized principle, and no fixed opinion on the music of the drama. This is so true, that if you happened to say the best music is that which gives most pleastre to the greatest number of persons, you will meet with many scientific men ready to maintaid that this music is precisely the most common and the worst. The French may consider themselves as very superior to the Germans and Italians, if the fre quency, duration, and ardour of their disputes are proofs of superiority in taste and science : they likewise carry off the palm from their rivals in other respects,' for a German is never known to despise Haydn or Mozart, or speak with con tempt of German harmony ; in Italy no person ever extols the Orphei of Germany, or : the Ain phioris of France, at the expence of the Italian Lini ; but in France it is in good ton, it is a duty—nay, an obligation, to despise the French. Do you wish to be thought an able connoisseur Defame and pull to pieces all the French corn pdsers, and treat as fools those who applaud them. When a dilettante journalist says to his readers, 46 You are senseless beings to like the g 'aud music of Cherubim and Mhul, or the light of Gretry," they are indeed creatures de void of all taste who reply, " He is in the right." I would advise no person to speak so freely at the coffee-house d' ell' Arco, or at the sherbet shop of Chiaia. If discord prevails among the amateurs, it must be confessed that the musicians ate accomplices in spreading its firebrands. They have their factions, their partizans ; and each of them has his trumpeter, to extol the pre-eminence of his style of music, in order to establish the superiority of his talents : they furnish arguments to their pa negyrists, who would otherwise not know how to set about praising them ; they originate, they keep alive disputes ; they involve the question in a hundred mazes ; they redouble the uncertainty or indecision of the public, and a plain man; seated in the pit, not daring to give way to the impression on his mind, and fearful of being re garded as a fool, if he amuses himself contrary to rule, waits the assent of his neighbours before he ventures to avow that he has been gratified by the performance. But, on what do they dispute ? On nothing yes, on nothing ; for it is not even a dispute about words, as will presently be shewn ; the object of these remarks being to prove the vanity and the puerility of these discussions. If I make it appear that all men are of the same opinion in respect of music ; that all disputes, carried on not for the love of truth, are only the chicaneries or subterfuges of self-love, that all these kinds, Italian, German, French, melodist, harmonist, theorist, are terms void of meaning, and that all musicians without exception acknowledge in petto but one kind only, will it not hence be evident that they are disputing about nothing ? Very' well, to arrive at this conclusion, I only ,entreat a little patience, setting at defiance all the subtleties of logic. Have yea' ever heard a composers let him be ever - so learned, contend that an agreeable air was a fault in musit ?—No. Did ever'a melodist mainitain there can be such a thing as'a well con ceived and regular air without harmony or with vicious harmony ?—No. The melodist and bar monist united, have they ever presumed to say that it is necessary to pervert words and give them' a false expression ?—Doubtless, no. And if you ask each of them in private what are the qualities that constitute a master-piece, they will tell you that the just expression of words, a mes lodious air, and fine harmony, constitute a perfect composition. They are of the same opinion as to principles; and of what importance are the proceedings of the schools to us if the musician of thiY - or that sect does not reach perfection ? or indeed if he doe's attain it ? Being all of the same opinion, why do the French dispute ? Why especially are they so foolish as to dispute, quarrel, and fight for men who understand one another very well, and pre tend to be at variance ? I will unveil the mask. Nature has not distributed all her gifts to the same artist with equal profusion. One man hav ing been endowed with the faculty of quick con ception and ready composition sets 'to music beautiful airs with astonishing rapidity ; his only difficulty is selection ; but it is very uncommon indeed if this liberality' on the part of• nature does not. make him father idle, presumptuous, and impatient of all control. Certain of pleasing without much exertion, Often disdains to ap= ply to study principles appear to him arbitrary conventions ; rules, clogs on genius ; and method a ridiculous tyranny. Re therefore learns no thinglnore than is indispensible to write music, , .correctly or incorrectly, with .remembered touches or neglicreilt. transgressions, as - it may happen; and as he succeeds by the agreeableness of his melody, even when he violates every musical canon, he endeavours to believe, and to persuade others, that the faculty of composing agreeable airs is competent to produce a master-piece, and to establish the fame of the musician. Another Artist, to whom nature has not been so prodigal, seeks and finds in study the means of counterbalancing, or of concealing this defi ciency. The more he applies himself to it, the more the art rises in his estimation; every day he discovers fresh resources and new beauties ; he strikes, astonishes, and even charms his hearers by profound fugues ; his successes sometimes equal those of the most melodious musicians ; and proud of having owed his success to his ap plication, he loudly proclaims the pre-eminence of his method, ,and despises simple airs, taking care, however, not to confess that he is indebted for his reputation to the parsimony of nature to wards him in her distribution. We next' see a third, who, perceiving his incapacity to compose any other than common airs, or variations from known airs, and possess ing but a scanty knowledge of harmony, devotes his whole mind to declamation ( a). He never fails to adapt an expressive note to an impressive word ; he rests on the long note, he runs rapidly over the short one, and never fails in punctuation. A . scrupulous observer of dramatic truth, he occu pies himself more with the poem than the division of the music ; he gives to each personage, each passion, and each character, the declamation which suits it ; and as the French study method even in their pleasures, our declamateui succeeds often in spite of the melodists and harmonists, if he has the spirit or the good fortune to set to music pieces which in themselves possess consi derable interest. He fails not, therefore, to contend that musical declamation is the essential , part of the art, and that dramatic music is enti tled to the superiority (b). All these three parties possessing their respec tive advantages, and being equally capable of commanding success, each of these composers has good reason to praise the superiority of his me thod, bitt neither of them will acknowledge that he attached himself exclusively to one of the three kinds, because he did not pos sess in an equal degree the other two: — He who unites' melody and harmony will only despise declamation ; the declamateur who understands melody will ridicule scientific music; and the harmonise deciwnateur denomi nates inferior music that in which melody and taste alone are combined. That artist, however, if any such exists, who combines in his. person the three qualities, will no doubt say that all are essential ; but where shall we find him ? There have been four : Handel, Haydn, Mozart, and Gluck. It seems that I have pointed out the three classes of disputants, and yet there is still a fourth : it is formed of musicians who have pro duced no composition, but attaching themselves exclusively to a sect, applaud only what issues from this laboratory, decry all that is foreign from this school, and treat with 'great contempt those who have the misfortupe to amuse them selves with another system. Without entering into any discussion with them, I shall reply, in the words of Rivarol, " It is a great advantage to have done nothing, but we must not abuse it." (c). The majority of enthusiasts and critics in mu sic are very ignorant, for where there is most ignorance there exists also the greatest en thuSiasm. We do not dispute with acrimony on subjects in which we are well versed, but on those which we wish to have the credit of know [lig. Hence it happens that the different ama teurs and pretended connoisseurs quarrel respect ing the lesson which they have received from their leader ; they wish' to make intelligible those things which they themselves do not comprehend : they are lavish in the use of technical terms which they do not understand ; they get angry without knowing why, and sometimes draw their swords and fight to prove the - superiority of a German or an Italian, without suspecting that the Italian had copied a German artist who - had polished his model with Italian melody (d). They would soon recover their, composure of mind, if they did but reflect that men in general, and artists,in particular, are taturallly disposed to extol the qualities which they possess; and to depreciate those in which they are deficient. Little women always perceive .a masculine air in tall women, and turned up noses.cannot endure those large ugly Roman noses. Is it not the same with musicians ? and when one of them laughs at the large nose• of his colleague, look, and you will see that leis own is a little too short. Leave disputation to them who make it a duty, a profession, or a 'pleasure : let us enjoy the beauties of the different systems, or rather of different talents; and let, us not' forget,, that of three qualities which we imperiously require in dramatic music, that which the composer causes to predominate almost always preventslhe other two from shining in an equal degree. These three parties ought to mak4 mutual concessions : occasion and situation ought to permit alternately one of the three to predominate over the,others. The piece in which the harmony should always be scientific and perfect would, become fatiguing, if not tiresome ; that which produces an air con. : tinually soft would disgust even by its sweet ness ; and that which, deficient in harmony and melody, should be confined to rigorous declama tion, would be rather a comedy than an opera. I therefOre repeat, that all musicians are agreed as to principles, that their disputes have no real object, and 'that the discord , prevailing among them arises only from their talents being different : they would soon come to the same opinion re specting the method, if they possessed the same powers of pleasing. The dilettanti, therefore, of tte schools are great fools: to put themselves into a passion, i.;‘, quarrel and to fight for any parti cular kind of music, since there is in fact only one kind which is the, perfect union of harmony, .melody, and declamation. 'We are also in the I wrong for considering the music of the stage as a simple thing', because the word music is a com bination of several ideas : we should,al4v4s, ex plain,and say What part of music _we ,mean to applaud .or disapprove in a dramatic composition. If men were always to make this necessary dis tinction, they would not dispute so confidently. These remarks lead us to this very natural conclusion, that music being an universal _lan guage, there is no Italian, German, or French music, and that the best of all is that which, no matter under what system it may be composed, throws the greatest and most durable charm over the work to which it is attached. Paris, April 23, 1821. Z. (9) The French Musical terms DECLAMATION and DECLA MATEUR, are introduced, because' we have no correspondent terms in. English. The word DECLAMATION is analogous to the Italian term RECITATIVO ; it means a composition, in which the accompaniments contribute more to the effect of the air than The Cantalina, or that in which an impressive, melody is not appreciable with the voice alone. I need scarcely add, that the French word DECLAMATEUR implies the compOi# of: this style of music. _ . _ (b) 'f lie celebrated Faustina Hasse, on hearing some Italian music at Rome, asked, a Where are their airs ?" -This remark is very applicable to the musical declamation of France. (c) The last mentioned disputants appear to .belong to the same elaSs as a certain Society, whose Concerts of Ancient Music are given in the neighbourhood of Hanoversquare. (d) These disputes remind me of the controversy between the Gluckists and Piccinists, which formerly raged so violently in the musical world. HOP INTELLIGENCE.-illaid.sione, April 28. The late warm weather has occasioned the hops to shoot pro digiously fast, and in geneycl the plants look healthy. We un derstand that in some of the neighbouring ppisles several grounds_ have been. grabbeill.up; and others sown with corn. The latter grounds are consequently not •polhd, but the plants are tied close to• the earth; this plan succeeded well in "many grounds lastycati.. but it is thought that it tend to weaken and injure the plants. The grubbing of flops has not,:licen so general as tv4is 'expected this is owing no 'doubt 'to the low price of corn, which, were the grounds to be planted with, would not remunerate 'the farmer better than hops.

Some idea may be formed of the exer tions now making in this traffic, by the occur rences which took place at this Office yesterday, when no less than six individuals were brought up, charged with this Offence, viz.:----111argaret 'Rowland, a :girl of 18; .against her two charges for two separate utterances of 1/. note., were preferred ; but the Bank judging her to be, an object for Clemency, she was seriously admo nished and discharged. Sarah Johnson, a re spectable looking female, about 30, against.wllm three separate charges were proved, was com mitted. for trial. Joseph South, Robert Hitch:- mough, - and - John Clayton, three lads, the eldest of whom was: apparently not more than .18 or 19 years old, were severally remanded for the future determination of the Bank respecting them • more than one charge of uttering was made against them. A sixth case was not gone into, the. of fence having been committed in the county' the prisoner was- taken to Marlborough-stree t office.

Most, if ,not all et these forged' notes were thought to be impres sions from one and the same plate ; indeed it i 5 Said by the Banl(inspectors' that only one pla te has latterly been. at work : the notes are so veil clumsily done, that any person may, by 0' 1 : tious inspection, make himself acqoaitkted mitt" them so as to be able. to detect them. • , , On Saturday evening.
