THE LONDON JOURNALS. [DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.] [NEW TIMES.] , Advices from Constantinople, of a later date than any hithil , rto received, have reached us by the way of MarseilleS. They are contained in letters of the 2d of April, from the Turkish capital, which appears to have become much 'pore tranquil than it had been for some 'time preceding. The writers express little - alarm at the insurrections in Wallachia and Moldavia. They say, indeed, that the artn ing of the Turkish population to oppose the • Irp-nrgents, is likely to occasion disturbanceS of another kind. Already several Bulgarians and others have coMmitted robberies and similar ex • Cesses, in the neighbourhood of Constantinople ; buz active measures have been adopted to put a • stop to this evil. In addition to the persons who 'have already fallen Victims to the resentment of • the Turkish Government, these letters announce the death of four individuals, who have been de • tect;:sl in a correspondence with the Insurgent CTliifs in Moldavia, and are, it is said, related to them. The Vizier and : Mufti have also been deposed. The alarm Which had been created in the capital had, as appears by these accounts, totally sulßided, and the commerce of the place had renewed its activity. The Civil and . . Mil itary Authorities were, however, pursuing the most determined measures against all persons proved to be in connexion with the Greek Revo lutionists. [MORNING POST.] The revolution in the Brazils is now complete. The example of Pernambuco and Bahia has been followed at Rio Janeiro, and :the King has ac septed the Constitution as proclaimed in Por tugal. A private letter from Rio Janeiro of the Ist of March adds.:-,-," We send you fhe decrees and Gazette relative to the events of the,24tlrand 26th ult., when the King t.tified the Constitution formed in Portugal; with the further engagement, that the same shall apply generally throug,hout the Portuguese domi nions: By this timely concession all disorders were prevented, and we have experienced no in terruption to business. The revolution has been entirely brought by the troops from the Mother Country, and the natives of the same, resident here." rDRITISI[ PRESS.] The proceedings in Parliament last night pos sessed a considerable share of interest. The Grampound Diirranchisement Bill was read a second _time in the "House or Lords, and ordered to be committed on Monday. We are glad to find that the Earl of Liverpool ad vocated ,the general principle of the Bill, and thus admitted the propriety of depriving the Freemen and Householders of a Borough of the elective fran chise whenever they shall be shown to have abused for mercenary purposes_ this noblest pri vilege of Englishmen. The Noble Earl, how ever, does not approve of the choice that has been made by the House of Commons of the place to which the right of electiotris to be trans ferred ; and instead of giving the boon to Leeds, he proposes that two additional votes should be given to the County of York. This measure he will propose to the Committee on Monday night. The Lord Chancellor did not express an opinion upon the principle of the Bill, but reserved his' sentiments until the Bill should be referred to the Committee., We now begin to hope that Grampound will actually be deprived of the elective franchise, and it is satisfactory to think that the tight of electing two Members cannot be bestowed more unworthily. [MORNING ticuiLn.] Foreign intelligence from various -quarters ar rived-since our last. It is gratifying - that the revolutiOn which has taken place at Rio Janeiro, the seat of the Brazilian Government, has shed no blood. The Government, it would appear, placed itself at the head of the movement rather pro : criptly, and with a good grace, by the adviceof the Minister, Arcos—probably it was the wisest course, there appearing to be no alternative, either present or in the reserve. A private letter from Madeira intimates the approach of a coun ter'revolution there—an event to be-regretted for the sake Of .humanity, as the revulsion would be more .violent and vindictive than the first Movement. Such an event, however, does not appear probable. The impulse throughout the Portuguese Colonies generally is the other way. There are accounts from .Spain of a .painful, but not at all alarming character. The" able and intrepid Curate -Merino," as the French Papers call; him, has closed his fighting mission ; but with a spirit not unlikeyopd Julius the Second; His band .is annihilated, -and it is supposed-he has himielf . been killed.. The Vittoria band of tiaitors_are - shut 'up, withotit resource, in Salva tietra. We have - little doubt that the disafiec tion will 80 - ottcease in SPaiii. When the enemies . orthe Constitution learn'that all 'hope of a .Rns sian visit is at end; they wilFfe c il the necessity of. throwing 'up- the -game. [MORNING GIIIIONICLE.] As we have more than once expressed it as our opinion, The causes which operated in Portugal could not fail to produce 'the: - same effects in the Brazils. The people there could no longer sub mit to a degrading-system of . mis - -g - overtrtent; or endure abuses serving onlrto enrich hungry and ainbitiouS speculators. Besides the defects in. the administration and judicial department, - the, Treasury of the Brazils' Was filled' with- mal practices, and the •people" took ' occasion to evince their feelingi towards certain Merchants, whose connections with it were not unknoWn to them as soon as they were able. In the situation in which the Portuguese King was placed, he could not have adopted a wiser plan than to adhere to the new . Constitution, and send his eldest son over to Portugal; - but abo - ve all, lie could - not have acted more judiciously than in dismissing those Minister's" Who had de= laded him, and lcist the confidence Of the nation. COttnt Palmella's plan was tO‘airopt a system of intrigue in order to counteract *hat had been done in Portugal, in wilich if the King had per sisted, he-would have ruined himself for ever. It is a well known fact, that the Minn has a good heart, and is stro ng ly a tt a ch e d to his people but it has long been his misfortune to be sur-. rounded by- weak and corrupt advisers,,who had 'eventually led him to the brink of the precipice, where he folind himself when he awoke froth his lethargy on the (j.Gth of .last Feb. This memo rable event will no doubt be received with the greatest joy am rd exultation in Portugal, and so happy a completion of a bloodless revolution must endear those who had the courage to undertake it, in the hearts of their grateful countrymen. How -dif ferent do they stand in the eyes of Europe, when compared to - those diplomatic agents and others,: who, out of mere officiousness, and in direct op position to - the interests, aild even the wishes of: the King, have been plotting. blockades, hosti lity, &c. against their insulted country. Fortu nately time whole of their schemes have been of no avail, since they have not, for one single in stant, retarded the sure Operation of the cause of freedom and. regeneration throughout the Portu guese dominions, but,. if possible, rendered it more triumphant. The Ding has seen, his error in time, and the opportunity is now left to him of reigning over _a happy and rising nation. rT 11 TIAI ES.] The week has - been fertile: in 'Parliamentary Debates of great. interest .to the State, though they have but little excited the warmth of par ties : and 'this is the more singular, as two of them have been upon subjects on which the two, great parties of the nation, or rather the nation itself, and a powerful faction opposed to it, are at variance. . The decision upon - Lord John Ras. seli's motion for Parliamentary Reform, though in the negative, was justly greeted, with the ac-' clamations of a triumph: a majority. in favour of the present corrupt system of . only 31, in a House consisting of 279 Members, affords. a cheering prospect of the final issue. For ourselves, we rejoice at this 'earnest of 'future success,. both from respect ,for the Noble Lord himself, and, because his project is a moderate one. Of vio lent and Radical Reforms we deprecate the. very -mention ; both because the measures themselves would be destructive of public liberty, and because the too frequent use of the termsserves \to excite terror. But we are well assured, that a cautious and timely removal of glaring abuses in the re presentation Of "the country, is the only sure me thod of preventing that justly dreaded evil, of unintelligible and undefined extent—a radical reform. Lord• John Russell's motion was simply to - endow certain towns of vast poptilation With the power of sending representatives to Parlia ment—a power or right which so clearly apper tains to them, that it 'cannot be contested in ar gument one moment, and can only be set aside by authority devoid of' reason ; except indeed it can be proved that twenty thousand Englishmen of Birmingham are less worth in' the scale of the creation than ten men of Gatton, or St. Germain's, or any other of the rotten Cornish boroughs. On Tuesday, also, Mr. Scarlett made his mo tion for the Reform of the Poor Laws. Ile con cluded with three propositions: the first was, not to suffer future assessments to exceed those of last year; the second, to refuse parochial relief, in cases where the only ground for applying was the want of work—a healthy labouTer being thus obliged not only to work, but also to find work for himself ; and the third was the abolition of the powers of removing paucers. We are rather favourable to that course which obliges public Ministers, such as Parish Overseers are, to per form the operations for a fixed sum, leaving the distribution of its parts to, themselves : but has not . the Overseer, who is himself rated, already a sufficiently strong motive to keep the rates low ? The present system of removals is at once bur densome to parishes and severe to the poor. This is that portion of the Poor Laws m hich both calls most strongly , for reform, and for which, we think, some beneficial substitution might be de- *** We s consider the Biil in question as so important to the community at large, that - we have inserted the whole of it in TtlE SUN of this day. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [FROM THE CHESTER COURANT.] ST \TE OF THE Coirwrn.Y.—While the interesting events Of the war continued-to excitepublic attention, the Britsh news paper press seldom needed the extrinsic aid of political agitation to command a circulation 'of its commodity. But when this source of excitation was dried up, iE became necessary, for the maintenance of numerous prints which -had / started up as vehicles of IMPORTANT, and EARLY, and AUTHENTIC news, to turn from the barren field of historical record, to the more fruitful soil of political disquisition. In this speculation, newspaper Editors had wonderful success ; their efforts were greatly aided by the unfortunate state of the country, produced from a variety of causes, but principally from the new and dis advantageons situation in *litch-the conclusion of a long war had left us: The national distress was instantly as a subject to criminate the conduct of government ; and presently Radical Reform was discovered to be the Only remedy for our calamities. This project formed a fine topic of declamation, and wild,, and visionary, and dangerous as it was, its advocates advanced with an appalling celerity, until by the patriotisM of the sound part of the community, and the energy of the govern ment, the hopes of, 'the disaffected were entirely cut off by the prosecution and incarceration of some of the principal leaders.— Then came the heated discussions on the Unfortunate Manches ter concern ; which -lastedfor a time, and contributed to main tain that part of the press, dependant on its support upon the existence of real or supposed grievances. But, just as this sub ject was quietly sinking into the shade, another, and- the most prolific in emolument, because taking ,faster hold of the pas sions of the rose up—and Tisz QUEEN ! THE QUEEN ! was reiterated from one end of the kingdom to the Other: The Mania had' its rise and progress,- but having reached its acme, it suddenlrdisappearedfrom the body politic —and the nation seemed IN DANGER of settling into a peace ful and quiet frame. Some trifling hopes presented themselves 'o . those whose souls are never' right but when fishing in troubled waters, by the bursting forth of • Italian and Piedmontese pa triotism: but alas, it pm/eel a vanishing ephemera, at once -disappointing the hopes and thwarting the interests of our newspaper,patriots. The agitation.of the Catholic claims has done them no: more service ;" and now that hardly a question of strong feeling can produced with any degree of novelty; what are our political declaimers to do - for a subject to gratify their own ill temper, or. disturb the peace of the community ? The excess of taxation is an evil deeply felt by every class of the community ; but what are we bettered by - being daily re minded of it, unless some practical • good is likely to result.— Nor do we think, that the exploded doctrine of radical reform can ever again be revived, with that mischievous success which formerly attended it. Sound philosophy and common sense direct us to estimate our' good et its highest possible rate; our evil- at the lowest. Whatever, therefore, be the aminint of the calamities we have as a nation been . called to endure, the high colouring they have received from "exaggerated statements, can only have increased their magnitude. But, in spite of the as sertions of all who incessantly labour to 'cast a gloom over our national circumstances, the country is unquestionably recover ing from its general distresses. The manufacturing districts par ticularly are in a state of comparative activity: the Mechanic finds employment ; poor rata are eenerally on the decrease ; commerce is certainly reviving ; and although much cause df complaint still exists among our agriculturists, it cannot be doubted bat improvement in this branch of our national re sources will 'speedily succeed that of our other branches of na tional dependance. In the_rnean time, let us look at the en tierty of our political liberties, which at this moment, we speak soberly and advisedly, after a thousand prophecies of thraldom and slavery, are as extensive and complete, as ever they were since the English nation had existence. PROM THE LEF.DS INTF.LtIGE:siCER•I This may ,in truth be called " The Age of Revolutions." That desire of change, that dissontent under existing. institue tions, Which has been fostered'and encouraged by the liberal writers and orators of the age, till it has reached ,a height that threatens, not merely to reform, but to overturn, all established Governments, has extended to America ; from whence we have accounts Of . Revolutions at Bahia, Pernambuco,- and illaran-: ham,_ in the., Brazils ; and it is expected . that, _ere now, the Constitution of the Cortes h a s b e en p roc l a i me d in Ri o , th e re sidence of the Kifig, if, indeed, it be not a meakery to call •by that august title, one, who (if the event we have anticipated has taken place), is the slave of a cabal, that, under the stale• pretence of " Liberty," is forging chains - both for him and the people. It is notorious, that, in Spain .and Portugal, whilst the Royal Authority has be en a l mos t annihilated, the people have not neen'benefited, they have only had a change Of.evils ; and are equally oppressed, and there is as niuclidiscontent existing, Under the Cortes, as there w as u nd er th e i r old dynasti e s. That it will be the same in the Brazils, there does not exist a shadow. Of a doubt. This must be th e case i n all Violent R e vol u tion s . o large a part of the people will always he - dissatisfied with, them, that a different result cannot be anticipated ; for, to pre ierve their authority , the n ew GoVeenmentS must resort to arbi a trary measures, and their - acts are frequently of a much more questionable nature, than those which forrned the occasion of an outcry against the old Administrations. In Portugal and Spain, nearly all the Nobility, the Cl e r g y, the Magistrates, and no small number of the middling and lower classes, appear to be adverse to the change -.which has been forced upon' them.' This portion of the people, however, is not considered worthy of being conciliated, they are to be coerced into submission ; • the consequence is, that both those Countries, and Spain, in particular, are the scenes of tiunult and disorders, unparalleled . under their old Governments. - Private accounts represent the.. state of society in these kingdoms as most deplorable.—The old Constitutions of Portugal and Spain were bad enough ;.and so is that of the Brazils • but military Revolutions will not mend them ; they wilt only cause a change from bad to worse ; whilst in the evils to which they give rise, the people will have cause to regret the change, and lament that they did not place their interests in the hands of more judicious Counsellors, who would haVe endeaieurecl to meliorate their existing institutions, by accommodating them to the increased knowledge of the age ; and.not by entirely overthrowing them, have given rise to the .endless dissensions which threaten to' perpetuate feuds and-ani mosities bet Ween the different classes of soeietv.—The English people will do tell to mark the consequences Of the Revolutions in Spain and Portugal. They should not forget, that these events have been held oat 'astxamples for then. • They should not forget, that, at a meeting of sonic of the " Choice Spirits" Of Reform, held in London, not many months since; it was la mented, that. England had.not led the way instead of Spain, in the works of regeneration. We think it is a great cause for congratulation, tat, these "Reformers" had not the power.of " regenerating" old England ; .as ike! feather new state; under such - directors, would not be equal I to.her, present one; under the present calumniated .Administration.—We have felt it a duty to express freely our opinion upon the events to -which we have,alluded ; but, we must also declare, notwithstanding. our. sentiments as to the wisdom - of. the-Changes in the Spanish and PortueneseGovernments ; .and our objections to th0..m0d.,? in which those changes were effected, that' it is with considerable pain we have heard a report of the conclusion of a seareb treaty I at Laybach, between the Emperors of Austria and Russia, by which they pledge themselves to put-down the Reyoltitionary Governments in Spain by force; and.that, for such liar' usc, a Russian Army •is on. its match to Spain. -It is even said, .that an application has been In'ai4O to the French Government, for a passage through Prance, for this army. We hope that this re port is unfounded ; ,for we perfectly ~ -r ee with a respected con temporary (TILE Sufi),. that, however objectionable the form of Government, or whatever may be the conduct of its advocates or opponents, nothing, in our opinion, can justify fo reign interference, so long - as the peace of Europe, and the neighbouring states, reinions..undistprbed and inviolate." If, however, this report proves correct,' we may look forward to a long and blood/ contest, for the. Spaniards are made of different • mettle to the Neapolitans ; and will not succumb quite so tamely to foreign aggression. FOR TIIE SUN. POLITICAL OPINIONS. MR: EDlTOR—Nothing, surely, can be,more amusing than to see how the old, and almost worn Out adage of « Tempora . rnutautur, et nos mutamur in Buis," is Verified by the- OppoSition. They prophecy—but when those prophecies are falsified, instead of taking shame, they pretend to take credit to themselves! They offer advice —but when circumstances sheW that to have . followed such advice would have been ruin, they hesitated not to turn round - unblushingly, and to attempt to turn • the tables on Ministers, with an impudence that passes Upon the many for wisdom and consistency. T'other night, when the measure of returning to cash payments was perfected, one of the many, who had prophecied that we never could return to that state, very coolly observed that there was nothing in it to be wondered - at ! Nay, he even found out that the point is still unsettled whether Paper or Gold is the best medium of circulation !—Then again, can it be forgotten how many tirades were delivered -against the Bank for not returning to cash payments, in order to prevent the crime of forgery ? Yet it is from the opposition that we now learn that there is less crime with PAPER than with Gold; and that in a given time the convictions for coin-- ing, during metallic circulation, exceeded a simi lar space of paper circulation for forgery. in the proportion Of THREE to one. Then when the Marquess of LONOONDEIZRY tells them that he has no reason to believe that Russia and Austria are enemies to the liberties of Europe, they cannot understand him. But when, through official information, he tells them 'positively that the Russian armies have received counter orders,- - why . thcn , Thq Morning Chro nicle of. Tuesday, the - Bth of May, finds out that such counter orders do not arise out of the moderation of the Allies ! Oh no ! it can only have proceeded from the dread of -the questions asked in our House -of Com mons two nights before. But now, it is all Hey! for NEW Constitutions for all the kingdoms of Europe !" The Constitution of Britain, I sup pose, for States as yet in political infancy ! Sir, they might as 'well expect to fit a 'baby arthe breasfwith a pelisse, by, giving it the great coat of the Irish giant ! Look at Britain herself—at 'the . period of the •Wittenagetnote—of Magna Charter—of the baronial contests with Henry 111. —of the wars of the Roses—of Elizabeth's gol den days—of the civil wars—nay, even of the Bill of Rights—and then say, would our present Constitution then have' fitted us ?—a Constitu tion which depends as Much upon our social man ners and upon public opinion, as upon legal re gulations ! It is easy to take away the existing Constitution of the European States; and even to GIVE them better ones : but it is not the giving of a Constitution that will enforce it in practice! I may give to a man a good watch, but if lie knows not how to set it in motion,, and under stands it not when going, it will be better to leavo,b4n his old:hour-glass. IGNOTUS. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.
