THE LONOON JOURNALS. [IiIA.ILT EXTRACTS PROM THE MORNING PAPERS.] [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The sanguinary spirit lately evinced by one of cutsjoUrnalists (we would fain hope the feeling is not general with the Ministerial Press), who Called otit for the adoption of ." energetic mea sufes", to " bring to justice" the villains, as he termed.` them, who endiavonred to give freedoin z-.6‘1, Independence to their country, is now about it.:tie gratified. The Duke of Genevoii issued a Preclarhation, by which " officers of all ranks who - have deserted the standard" of revolt, are declaredlelons, and pecuniary rewards are-offer cd'ifjr, their appreherision," . and a•Military Corn ro4siou has been appointed at- Turin, " to try the_pereans concerned in the rebellion carried on in E let / at - tont." He will .prebably be gratified to his heart's content, by hearing of the copiotts eifusion of the . la/owl of the . men who wished to free' . l..tzly from the stain Under. which it has so bag luOodred, .a.od who had the presumption •to thipk that the : people ought nOt to be-considered the property of Sovereigns, but that . SoVereigns ccaght to be ,considered as trustees for the, benefit of the people. They hay.e failed . in object, A4nks to the'Austrian Alli e s o f tfie Duke, and;' the Duke will of course be applauded by•those in this country who, in the time of Buonaparte, recoranlended assassination, and who afterwards were the advocates of Prevotal Courts and Pre scrkptiOn. [DRITISII ratss.] . it,bas been intinrted in a private letter which ha; arrived in town frOm Madrid, under date of the 10th:of April, that negociations have been ac tualiy commenced, and are now in progress, be tween the Spanish GovernMent And the several Independ9t aovernments of 'South America, which are founded upon the basis of their ac knowledged independence. This intelligence is at least extremely 'probable, for the Cabinet of Madrid must now feel well assured that.no hope rerna ins of inducing the South Arnericans to forego ail the advantages purchased by several years of privations and sacrifices, and, renouncing their rational independence, unite their country as a province to Spain. In fact, it is not in the power of the mother country to offer them an equiva lent for such a submission, and the notion of re ducing thorn to their former state by force of arms Would now be preposterous, for Spain has been worsted in every campaign, while the In dependents have progressively improved in mili tary-skill, and in the discipline "acid composition .of their armies ; have created navies far superior t' that of the mother country, and have farther ob tained the incalinlable advantage of regular and well-organized GovernmentS. Against such means of defence and such resources Spain would vainly contend, and every attempt that could now be made to reduce the Colonies would, as it affect ed the Patriots, tend only to a fruitless waste of blood, while, as it regarded the interests - of Spain, it must increase her embarrassments, ex haust her impoverished finances, widen still far ther the breach between her and her offspring beyond the Atlantic, and give to the enemies of social order at home a favourable opportunity for disturbing her ilotnestice peace, and for en dangeiing her sources of future prosperity. Well had it been for humanity if the Court of Madrid' had . , at an earlier period of the contest, listened to proposals for an accornmoi.ation ; but should the contest close even now, Spain might still in dace the Independent Colonies to grant to her merchants peculiar' facilities in commerce, o triore advantage eventually to her genei•al lute rests than the monopoly. of trade Which she for meriy possessed. ' -" ~JQF/ [NEW TIMES.] An article from renna, of the 11th instant, mentiods, that the commercial letters received in that • capital from Transylvat::-t and Gallicia agreed in stating, that great enthusiasm prevailed at Jany. A proclamation had been published there by Ypsilanti, congratulating' the Greeks on a victory gained near Galatz. In advices from other quarters, the Greeks are said to have taken the fortress of Galatz, and to have cap tured - some Turkish merchant vessels on -the Danube,. but the number of theft is variously stated._. Two absurd and improbable rumonrs are noticed ;. one that. an American squadron. had ap peared in the Archipelago, and captured five Turkish ships of war—and another that a con. side - table number. of Greek vessels under the RqsSfad with a great force on board, had entered the roadsof Constantinople. The Spanish T0..^ ,- Juister of the Interior has issued a circular let ter' the Political Chiefs of ProVinces on the laie events at Naples. It begins- by observing, that:although- the course of those occurrences catift not affecCa nation which was ^proceeding - Calmly and magnificently in the path of glory," yet - it:l:tight furnish a pretence to restless and im pr'd4ent persons:for exciting popular agitatiod.—' Tte king had therefore determined to use all his attthority' to maintain - order, and'had commanded tiA4 - •Palitical- Chiefs zealOusly to - carry- into eke , -cutiod every 'measure whiCh may 'be.. necessary a zrd their power, 'c -to'pnisue:- without re-., tegatifin the hidden enemies of the system, to diftvetw their - iniquitous intrigues, .-to--deliver therti 3 Ov'ei to the - judicial authorities, and to ex . citberieat of- those authorities for &prompt. and exemplary punishment, 'as Well as to check' au linPular.tumult." in addition to; the dispbst tip io , .disturbance'of which thiS.Eircular'lettei suggests-the prevalence, - and of vv'hich former have informed us; the, Country ;continues to .114 harrassed.. banditti, s 4 numerous , and they appear more: like; regular 'in eats than mere,Aire4iOri;ljinciw- .• • • , • s`,L ?I iE We spoke in our jouinarof yesterday of the Committee on the Agricultural Distresses.

Let us suppose a man dying of hunger and inanition, which is pretty nearly the case with the farmers, it would be 'as rational a way to attempt the cure of that man by reading to him a dissertation on the powers of digestion, as it is to think of re moving the distress under which the agricultu rists labour, by presenting them with the Report of a Committee. The application of a little wholesome food would restore the famished man, as the remission - of a portion of the money now consigned to the support of our enotmons establishments would set the farmer at ease. But writing and talking are- inefficient means in either case. " It still continues to be pre tended that enough cannot be saved in the Iva.y of retrenchment,, after the interest on the National Debt is• paid, to :confer any sensible relief on the suffering population. We have before exposed the folly of this pretence; and now we ask, would not the remission of five , millions of taxes be seliSibly felt? No rational man doubts that if the House of Commons, having a just sense of the situation of the country, had passed a Resoration at the beg - inning of the yes: sion that the annual . expences of Government should be diminished by five millions, leaving it to Ministers themselves to portion out and im pose the several retrenchments whose aggregate should amount to that sum, the measure would have been effected without any great difficulty, or inflicting any severe hardship. {MORNING POST.] Now that the ephemeral attempts of Naples and Piedmont have failed, the Grecian Insurrec tion attracts every eye, and engrosses the atten tion of. every mind. Neither is this observant anxiety confined to our countrymen, amongst whom a struggle,for freedom, whatever be its nature, is always sure to excite the most lively sympathy. The interest taken in the Revolu tion which threatens, or rather promises, to drive the Religion and Empire of Mohammed out of Europe, is as general as it is deep. It prevails, on the Continent, not among the people alone ; it reaches the chambers and the hearts of Kings. Indeed from the abundant information which is allowed to appear on this subject in all the continental Journals, we are rather tempted to believe that the Censors of the Press feel that the triumph of the Greeks would not be unpletising to their masters. Every advantage gained by the Insurgents, every statement cal culated to swell their force and to depreciate that of the Porte—nay, the wildest rumours favour able to their cause, are given to the public with most liberal complacency ; whilst all that related to the Rebels of Naples and Turin, with the ex ception of their defeats, was dealt out with a most strict and parsimonious hand. In countries where the Press is free, it only expresserthe con flicting opinions of the community. In countries where it is enslaved, it must naturally be regard ed as speaking the sense of the Government.— This is the ground of our surmise ; but, whether correct or not, it is evident (even supposing only half what is stated to be true), that the Grecian in surrection is expanding on all sides, and acquiring a degree of power which renders its ultimate suc cess at least extremely probable. The question then arises, whether it be a desirable thing for the peace of Europe that so mighty a change should take place within its bosom ? Would it be likely to disturb the order established after so many sanguinary wars and revolutions? Would it tend to aggrandise those who are already alinost too great, and thus destroy that balance of power which, though restored, is trembling still, and might be broken by the addition of a hair? • We candidly confess that, as the Grecian insurrec tion is now going on, we think it would not. Were, indeed, the Turks driven across the Bos phorus by the troops of any European Monarch, by the Imperial Guards of Petersburgh, or the Ilulans of Vienna, we should say' at once that the general order was infringed and the balance of power destroyed; for in that case the dominions of the conquered would be added to those of the conqueror, and he would 'stand in a totally different situation towards the rest of his Allies. The enormous weight thrown into the scale, would bear it down with irresistible velocity in his favour, and fresh arrangements mast be made, if they could still be made, to create a counterpoise. But should the Grecian revolution succeed, without any departure . from the plan on which it is now carr i e d on , no such results would be produced. A new Power, and let it not be forgotten, a Christian Power, ,would indeed arise in Europe, instead of the old,' 'worn out Empire of the Crescent ; but no addition whatever would be made to the strength of anyof the pre-existing European States. They would all retain their natural proportions; and as the new Power would only stand in the place of Turkey, it would beat the same relations' t o th e res t o f Europe as that empire now does, Fresh arrange- . ments would therefore' be unnecessary, and the only alteration required to connect so mighty a change with the present order of things„ . syould be merely the alteration of a name. The New Bridge, about to be erected at Windsor, is to be an iron one, raised upon stone piers: when completed, it will a great improve ment to Windsor and Eton. Most sincer ely do we congratulate' the Pro testant part of the community upon the final divi- Sion on thenom . an r Catholic Political Power Bill. The'liOuse of Lords has once more saved the count 4 from the dangers which threatened it by the proceedings of Lower House.

MANCIIST Ell, APRIL 23.—IJis Majesty's birth , day was celebrated in Manchester with great en thusiasm and. loyalty. The bells from the dif ferent - Churches awaked the inhabitants early with their merry - peals. At eleven o'clock the Artillery, the whole of the 19th Lancers, the 29th Regiment of Foot, and the Manchester Yeomanry, assembled in St. Ann's-square. They were net by the Magistrates, the Boroughreeves, and Constables, ati - d. other Officers, and an im mense number of most- respectable Gentlemen, bearing laurel-leaves i n _ th e i r h ats, an d accom panied with music. A procession was then formed, headed by Major General Sir James Lyon, of the military and inhabitants, through many of the principal streets of the town to Ard wick green. An immense concourse of people :was assembled there, and the number was so great, that it was with great difficulty the ground could be kept clear for the procession to enter.— The ladies formed a considerable proportion of the' numerous body that was assembled. The military part of the procession took their sta ' tion on one side of the green, with Sir James Lyon and his Staff in the centre, and portions of the Artillery on each flank. The appearance of the Lancers was beautiful, and their lances and sable glittering in the sun had a fine effect. The Magistrates and inhabitants passed along the line of the troops, and took their station in the centre. Afeu_de joie was then fired three times by all the troops, commencing with the Artillery, who fired 21 guns. After the firing, three huzzas were given for the King, which proceeding from so great an assemblage, was most impressive. The troops then passed in review before the General, and the civil part of the_procession re turned to the town. A sumptuous dinner was given in the evening at the Exchange dining room to all the Officers and to nearly 200 Gen tlemen. Numerous other public parties dined in the town. To-morrow' a splendid ball in ho nour of the occasion will take place at the Mos ley -street Assembly-rooms ; and on Wednesday and Thursday there will be two concerts, in which Miss Wilson and Mr. Braham will sing. Part of the procession consisted of a body of old pensioners, who have formed themselves into a Loyal Society. Porrrsarouril, Aram 24.—Yesterday being the day fixed on to celebrate the Birth-day our much-loved Kin.. it was observed here wi every possible respect ; the Church, Tower. and the different public edifices displayed the standard and other flags. At twelve, an immense con course of people assembled to witness the firing of th- troops in garrison, consisting of a party of Sappers and Miners, under Major Blanchard ; the 51st (King's own Light Infantry,) Colonel Rice; the 84th Regiment and Royal Marine Troops ; who, after firing afar de joie, gave three hearty cheers, in which they were joined by a numerous assemblage of well-dressed people. The King's own Light Infantry Officers immediately after assembled at their moss-room, where they par took of repeated bumpers of Madeira to the King's health. In consequence of the ball in the evening, their intended grand dinner, in honour of the day, is postponed for a few days. Different parties assembled to celebrate the re- minder of the day; and in the evening the ball more crowded than we ever remember. The Town Hall was illuminated ; and the evening was passed with much gaiety. ROCHESTER, CHATHAM, &c.—Yesterday being the anniversary of the birth-day of our most gracious Sovereign, the same was observed at Chatham with the usual honours. At twelve o'clock a Royal salute was fired from the guns on Chatham Lines, after which the various troops composing the garrison fired a feu de joie. In the evening there was a ball at Rochester, which was numerously and elegantly attended. Yesterday being St. George's Day, and that upon which his MAJESTY'S birth has been re- cently directed to be kept, the same was ob served in this city with the usual demonstrations of loyalty. The bells of the cathedral and the parish churches rung merry peals, and the troops fired a fen de joie in the barrack-field. The Mayor, with a part of the Corporation and citi zens, dined together at the King's Head Inn on the occasion. , Lord Clifton, one of the Repre sentatives for the City, was present at the dinner. In the evening there was a ball at Bellingham . Rooms.—(Canterbwy Paper, April 24.) Yesterday being the day appointed for keeping the Anniversary of our gracious Sovereign's Birth-day, the bells in the diff eren t Ch urc h es of - this City were rung early in the morning, and continued to sound in merry peals at intervals during the day. That part of the 88th Regiment now in Garrison here was called out about twelve o'clock,. and .fired several trollies, and the great guns at the. Castle were also fired in honour of the day.----(Chester Courant, April '21.) tltrMAntiTyl.s- birth-day . ',vas .celebrated at the Castle of Dublin on Monday, with an ode, ball, and supper.

It is calculated they will make the passage in sixty hours, independent of wind and tide. They will cost upwards of 20,000/. each. During the late violent gales of wind, upwards of twenty ships rode in perfect safety in the Breakwater at Plymouth sound, at single anchor. Much injury has been done in Kent by the severe storm of thunder, lightning, hail, and rain, experienced there on Good Friday; the blos soms of the fruit trees have been cut by the hailstones, which were of large dimensions, many windows were broken, and several large trees shivered to piece:. by the electric fluid. An unfortunate woman of the town yesterday evening threw herself out or a two-pair of stairs window, in the neighbourhood of Drury-lane, and was so much injured that little chance re mains of herrecovery. This is the same woman who has made so many attempts to rid herself of life by drowning. No later than last Sunday she made an effort to jun. p off Waterloo Bridge. SURREY SESSIONS. THE 'COAL TRADE. Yesterday the Co*lift sat again, pursuant to adjournment, to determine upon the memorial of Mr. I'. Bradfield, praying that F. Biggs, Esq. the principal cOal-meter for the county of Surrey, should be dismissed from his office, on the ground of malversation of duty. Mr. NOLAN spoke chiefly fo the evidence, which, he, contended, had utterly failed to sup port the memorial. There were many witnesses, • he observed, had not been called, whose testi mony would have been against Mr. Biggs, had the sweeping charges which had been brought against him been founded in truth. There were many coal-sellers on the different stations who might have. 'been' called to prove inattention on the part of Mr. Biggs, had any s uc h ex i s t e d, but of these not more than two or three had come forwf:rd, and their testimony was such as . had, in some instances, negatived the _ complaints. If any injury had been sustained, as was charged to have been through the negligence . or malver sation of Mr. Biggs, why had not some of the injured purchasers been brought forward ? Not one had appeared to urge the least complaint; 1 1 and it was in evidence; that when complaints had been made to Mr. Biggs, he instituted lie mediate inquiry, and that whenever he found there was any reason to complain against the me ters, he immediately and fearlessly dismissed them from his service. The witness Winchester had proved, that Mr. Biggs had been accustomed to send him about the wharfs with a book, to receive any complaints that might be made against them. Mr. NOLAN having gone througlithe whole of he case, the Court adjourned fur an hour, during which time the Bench retired to' a private room to consult. On Their return The CHAIRMAN, addressing Mr. Biggs, said that the Court had weighed every material cir cumstance that had transpired during the time that they had been occupied, very properly, upon this long, and to the public, important investiga tion. The great duty of the principal meter was to stand between the public and the coal-dealers, and to protect them from the latter by prevent ing fraud both in the measure and the quality of the coal. The memorial had charged him with having connived at, and participated in, the frauds of coal-dealers, but fortunately for him no such charge bad been proved, or even attempted to be proved, as the only sentence of the Court on such an occasion, must be final dismission from his office. The Court, however, were clearly of opinion that the charge of having failed to provide a sufficient number of labouring meters to do the duty of the office had been substantiated ; and the Court directed that for the future he should pro.. vide a greater number. There were several oth. , r charges upon which, the evidence -was, but slight, and some upon which no evidence at all had been adduced. These the Court would pass over.— The next charge which presented itself, was that of having allowed Fisher to remain upon the Putney station, in contradiction to the spirit of the Act, which directed that the meters should he changed monthly. This charge had been very properly admitted by the Learned Counsel ; and it was proved by Fisher, who certainly appeared to be as stupid, though as honest a witness as ever appeared in a Court of Justice. It was a suspicious circumstance that Mr. Biggs should employ him, knowing his situation. The con nection which Fisher had with Mr. Phetum the Court could not but say bore a very bad com plexion. The Court hoped, however, that this would be rectified, and that the father and son would be no longer allowed to act together on the same station, relatively like two buckets in a well. The Court had found that the negli gence of Mr. Biggs, in not providing a sufficient number of men to do the duty of the station, had led to the leaving of tickets at the public-houses of the stations for the dealers, which did away with the security intended by the Act. They were of opinion, that for the future he should be much more upon the alert in this particular, and that he should have the tickets materially altered, and the precise address of the Office given upon them. The Office itself was not such an Office as the Act contemplated, and also required re formation. The Court then gave Mr. Biggs to understand, that any future complaint that should be proved would be fatal to him. Ou the 10th instant, as stated in our last, the officers of the law proceeded, under the protec tion of a strong military force, to eject the te nantry of Strathbrora, which they effected with out opposition; the people having taken the alarm on the approach of the military, carried out their furniture, and fled to the neighbouring hills, whence they surveyed the, demolition of their houses. Mr. J. MACBEAW, Sheriff-officer, had been sent from this place with criminal let ters, against those who had been most active in' the deforcement of the civil officers, upon the for mer occasion ; but though parties of men and wo men were seen moving- about among the hills, and were repeatedly pursued by. the soldiers, only two men and a woman were apprehended, who *ere brought to this' town in the mail, by the officer,. and lodged in gaol,. to stand trial.on the 28th inst. for the alleged assault and rioting. Lieut. ASH, a very active' y ou n g . officer , while, with three soldiers, pursuing one of the flying parties, came by an accident in crossing a deep . stream, which was howe'r attended with no Other serious consequence than a, severe ducking.. iLaps of stones were found concealed with turf, which, it is supposed, had been collected, to give a warm reception to the officers, if they had not, been supported by such an overwhelming force. Decreet summonses of, removal were afterwards issued against the tenantry of Gruids, who had also fled from their homes ; the military, includ ing the reinforcethent which joined them last week, about 150 strong, are to be stationed in Sutherland, until the people of Graft's are eject ed at Whitsunday.—(lnverness journal.)

[From the Shrewsbury Chronicle,' April 20.] If our readers are not wearied ivith this sub ject, we believe the following narrative is more worthy of credit than many other staterneuts . of this kind :—"Understanding,that your Paper has , the circulation in the Principality, - I have taken the liberty to trouble you with the following ac= count of the Madowgiaid, or Welsh Indians; which I had from the mouth of a Gentle Man, who had been himself amongst them. Ile said, Whilst travelling in the month of May, 1818, with 12 persons, ,through a wood, in the state of Indiana, bettveen the river Ohio and the Illinois, several hundreds of miles to the north-west of the Allegany mountains, we were attacked by several tigers, .who immediately devoured the horses of our caravan, and afterwards all. my fell low travellers, with the exception of one, who is a native of Carmarthenshire. We both made - our escape by climbing up to the top of a large tree, where we took shelter for the night. The next morning, being very hungry, we Ventured dOwn .to the caravan, to see if we could find any refreshment, but to our great disappointment all was taken away by the Indians, as we supposed. ;• On turning from the caravan, we discovered smoke a little - further down in the wood, towards • which we ventured to go ; when we came near, we found it proceeded from a fire which was in ; the centre of a small hut, around which there were 26 Indians, quite naked, with several large hunting dogs, and bows . and arrows. Dating some pieces of money about us, we,gave some to the Indians (which they were very ready hi taking), • then we put our hands to our mouths, to signify that we wanted something to eat ; afterwards they immediately slaughtered one of time dogs, flayed, and then roasted it, When I observed to my corn paniou, in my native language, Mae hyn 'r z,i , e II la Tiger s ,' w h en , i nstantly to mygreat - astonishment, one of the . Indians rose up, pitt his hand on my shoulder, and said, Owyddovt li eio hiuith ni;' being overcom e with jo.y at such an un- • expected address, I said,' Gwn.' We feasted on the roasted dogs, which proved a delitioas meal to us. We conversed with the Indians the whole of the evening in the Welsh language (they know other) respecting different things. The next dad they accompanied us (the women carrying the dren on their backs, in wicker baskets) upwards of 30 miles, on the road towards the state of Ken- ~ tucky, which we reached after travelling rine days; in the greatest distress, hating nothing til'• subsist upon but the acorns that 'fell from the trees ;, , the Indians were very friendly, and would. d ; bo tl l l ' e e G aV :A c i ° lt u te ri f t m n :l7 ay w'i be i: relied i a e ty u tpboinn beinj o l r ' r h e e c a t related it to me is of the greatest respectability, having tlo, Carmarthenshire.
