THE LONDON JOURNALS, 'DAILY B3CTRACTS FROM THE MORNING rApins, June 5. ' [MORNING HERALD.]. • 'Yesterday we received, through the medium Ai:United States' papers, intelligence of the re .newal of hostilities in South America. Bolivar : it is 'who provoked hostilities, and all-that is irri suted to him by .General -La Torre, the Royalist :successor of Morino, is " impudence."' General .;.ii,slivac has, not broken the armistice, but. availed tiimself of a discretion reserved in the .articles of 'agreement to either party, to resume hostilities after the lapse of a specified .period from notice given. The President demands the acknow ledgment of the- independence of the new Re yablic as the_ alternative, and has probably good .reasonsior his conduct. His case, however, has •not yet reached us. The .Royalist General seems 14ert by surprise, .says he is not empowered to ;accede td the proposition of independence, and . ..odds, that Bolivar, when he made it, knew this. f,. however, the latter has a right to renew hos . ailities under the-terms of the armistice, it would :be childish to suppose that he ought to abstain :fro.r;.a- doing so, merely..because the alternative must embarrass his adversary. Bolivar finds that the resumption of . hostilities is most likely to lead the-.acknowledgment of the- independence of his. country, and perhaps has - discovered bad faith, or manMuvring, on the part of the Spa . niards. It is painful to contemplate a renewal of :the horrors of war, and under circumstances- pe culiarly shocking ; but the independence of that cast section of -the globe is an object in which , _ -hurnanity and justice, the interests of universal :.corsinierce and civilization, are deeply interested. ,11 the' colonies continue under the dominion even •of Constitutional Spain, they could be neither . -prosperous nor free. The: Colonial Representa .tion in the Cortes would be a mockery. England -and the-United - States would be shot out from all the resources of consumption and produce, which the independence of 17,000,000 of people would present; and South America would again be ' 'stunted and withered to snit, the monopolizing policy of the mother country. [NEW TIMES.] The French Funds continue to advance, and every thing in that country affords the prospect of steadiness to the recent improvement in the state of public credit. By an express received - yesterday from Paris, the price of the Renter at :the•close of the market on Saturday was stated 'to be as high as 86 :50. Other foreign Stocks were also on the rise. Neapolitan Stock was quoted at 73:50 ; ,and Spanish bonds at•s6. Letters were yesterday received from Odessa, but neither by this conveyance nor by any other 'has any confirmation been given to the alarming 'report of the conflagration of Smyrna, or the flight of the English from thence. Although the Pari; Papers of Wednesday seemed to give some 'credit to those rumours, the more general opi. ition is, that they were wholly without foundation. [BRITISH PRESS.] The pretended Constitutional Association ap pears to approach the limit of its existence, or at lea;:t its power of doing mischief, seems likely to 'be neutralised for ever. The County of Mid dlesex Grand Jury On Saturday thre , :v out four :bills of indictment for seditious libels, preferred .14 this unconstitutional Society, and the ground, ar; we are 'given to understand, which induced the Grand Jury to reject ihese bills, is, that they cotr:'.der the Society preferring theth an " illegal combination." This example of the Grand Jury ofliliddlesex will, we trust, heithitated 'by all ether Juries to whom bills of indictment may be offo-ed by. this combination of informers. The Ilublic press will thereby be protected from a new and unconstitutional object of alarm, .the rights of the Crown will not be arrcigantly assumed by anfrrresponsible Society, and a chance will be afTfirded that the funds inadvertently applied to the oppression of the Subject, will be appropriated ir) Purposes of unegnivoca,l benefit. Had the Mi nisters of the drown been Sullicienilv sensitive upon the insult offered to them by the formation of such a Society, they would not have suffered vindication of the rights and prerogatives of ttic CroWit to fail . ..upon the _Middlesex - Grand Jury. I t was the 'duty of tha ttornev-General tiled in f9rma tionagainst Mr. Murray,the 'attorney, and others, the active prelnirecs of the A s sciation,for presuming to undertake the exercise or - .e. of the most serious and delicate duties that appertain to his office, as the first law 'officer of the' qoprlime..a.. The Solieitor General, indeed, 4 . I in- the House 'of Coininoris, said that his Learned I.' 7 liend ought to feel very grateful to this Society,' yiho gratuitously relieved him of the most pain ful 'Of his duty .; and further remarked that imposale fur the Attorney 7 General to thene,ws 7 venders and tract-sellers' shops ca tOndoo to. terret out subjects for criminal f9l pAttops, and Oat tilerefoke Socikly as t l iiit'p;:esent was not. only . useful, but necessary.

The Sicilians had their own tribunals apart from, and, uncontrolled by, those of Naples. 'They .441 an exclusive right.to. all offices and dignities within -their•own islaiid except four. They had their own mint, their own llaa—two among the most characteristic attributes of an independent nation. In. 1810 the King and Parliament con curred. in abolishing the exemptions from impost hitherto enjoyed by feudal proprietors, to the great injury of the revenue and opp res si on o f the people. After a few months, however,when the alarm of invasion by Murat had ceased, this concession to justice and to public feeling ap peared to the Court of Palermo, then under the guidance of the Queen of Naples, a gratuitous and : unprofitable sacrifice. Three edicts were promulgated. in .1811, which fill e d th e minds of the Sicilians with dismay, as they went in .effect to destroy not merely the regulations for reform of 1810, but to transfer the power of taxation, from the Parliament, which had exercised .it for many ages, to the Ministers of the reigning Sovereign. I - MORNING CHRONICLE.] We congratulate our Readers on the defeat sustained by the Constitutional Association on Saturday last, when four of their bills were in dignantly thrown out by the Grand Jury of the Court of King's Bench. The views of this body are, we think, now pretty generally understood. Every man of the least reflection must know that it aims at nothing less than to place the Press of the Country in a state of complete subserviency to the Ministry, and to extinguish every thing like free discussion. That object will not now, we think, be accomplished, thanks to the good sense and spirit of the Country. We shall have something more to depend on than the views of expediency of the Attorneys and Barristers interested in the expenditure of the large sums which they had the good fortune to get into their hands. It is confidently maintained that the Members of this Society have subjected themselves to the penalties of the Act against Corresponding Societies, which, as is well known, are no light matter. Many of the Subscribers have got an inkling of this, and begin to wish they had never had alny thing to do with the business. What ! the Duke of Wellington, a Cabinet Councillor, subjecting himself to the pe nalty of transportation ! But the Subscribers may tranquillize themselves—penalties of this kind are not for those who sin on the right side. An Advocate and Member of the Association told us that in their admirable address " they formally disavow all party politics." They know very well, however, for %% hose benefit they labour, and those for whom they labour will know how to appreciate their good intentions. We do not mean to say that Ministers, if they had been consulted with respect to this. Association, would have approved of it, because it required no great wisdom to foresee that the indignation which the proceedings of such an Association could not fail to excite, would soon put it down. Accordingly we find, that, with the exception of the Duke of Wellington, they have all kept themselves clear of it, and that some of them have even done all but openly disapprove of it in Parliament. To be sure, it is not a 'little surprising that any Cabinet Minister should have become a member of the Association ; but perhaps we ought not to be surprised at this when we know that at least one of the present Cabinet Ministers lately proposed a Censorship of the Press.—liowever, thank God, these foreign notions have yet made little pro gress among the great mass of the people of this country. There are, we believe, many Tories as well as Whigs, with sound English feelings, who do not think County Meetings farces, who detest the doctrine of divine right ; who would not wish to see the Press subject to a Censorship, and who will be rejoiced to hear of the discomfiture of this pretended Constitutional Association. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS [From the LeiceJter Chrtnicle of June I.] MR. SCARLETT'S POOR LAWS' BILL. Yesterday morning, in pursuance of a Requisition presented to the Churchwardens, a numerous and respectable Meeting of the Inhabitants of. St. Mary's Parish, in this town, was held at the Vestry, to take into consideration the propriety of pre- Senting aTetition to Parliament upon the subject of Mr. Scar lea's proposed Bill for an alteration.of the Poor Laws. • The Rev. the Vicar having taken the Chair, and the Requi sition having been read— . 31r. SYOCXDALE HARDY said, 'that as one - of the persons who had signed that .Requisition, he begged to direct the at tention of the'Meeting to as important a subject as any which had occupied the attention of Parliament for many years. The Bill to which the Meeting referred had for its object the almost' total annihilation of those Laws which - had regulated the af fairs of the Poor for nearly two centuries and a half, and LaWs which had existed so long, ought neither to be trifled with nor repealed, without the utmost deliberation and e:e most extended discussion; since, although very great. defects might exist in - them, our ancestors ought at all events - to have the credit of hay- ing some substantial motives for their s Acts, atcl as the real ex cellencies of our old Laws had frequently not been .discovered until the inconveniences arising from .the# repeal had shewn them. Mr. H. then proceeded to comment, clause by clause, upon the Bill of Mr. Scarlett as amended by the Committee. 'the clause•as to R.eruoVals.wa.s most object'.onable • since it went to do away With. the liability of parisheli in which Paupers were nowlegally settled—as. to Removals thmaselYes, he was no friend to them ; since it was hard • that when a poor man had left his place of nativity for a number of years, and had farmed Many intelBting CbmiectiOns elst.wheee, - that - IWshould be transported (as it were) to another and perhaps distant District for no' other crime than his poverty. The ori ginal place of Settlement must however be still made liable, • or there would be a breach of faith not easily reconciled with the principles which had hitherto regulated British Legislation. As, to the establishment of a maximum as to Poor-rates, this seemed really a most Utopian scheme. They all knew the price of provisions and the demand for labour always regulated the poor man's stock and comforts. To say, therefore, that under, no circumstances whatever, more than a certain sum should be raised, was to go upon the supposition that the rate of provisions would always be the same—the demand for labour invariable—and the state of trade not affected by those fluctuating circumstances which it has generally been supposed and known to be. A most striking instance of the impolicy of any such measure as this, was contained in a Re presentation which had been lately made by tile city of Nor, with in refereneeto the Bill now before Parliament. It appear: , ed that last year (the amount of the rates raised,. in which is the maximum of-Mr. Searlett) there was about 18,0001. raised for the support of the Norwich poore—in 1818, there required 28,000—and in 1802 (the year of scarcity) there required no lesS a sum than 41,0001.! If Mr. Scarlett's maximum had been then Law, what. must have been `tone with the Poor at Norwich The same circumstances might again arise and Could not be Provided against—and they only need to.picture the horrid con dition in which a populous town or city would be placed—sur rounded with claimants requiring upwards of forty thou Sand pounds to satisfy them—having little beyond a third of the sum to give them and the claimants themselves increased and 'hourly increasing thro' the emigration from the .adjacent country continually pressing upon the place in consequenceOl' the first clause of the :Bill to which he had alluded. That part of the measure which denied any ,relief to any one marrying after the passing of the. Act, except aged or impotent, was extraor dinary, and could tearer be adopted, except its supporters were prepared to say th6t all could obtain employment, fad . . . . obtain it upon terms by which they could Hie. Now what had been the case in uns.llllistrict ? At one period during the last winter, .2000 Prainework Knitters had been receiving relief . from the Friendly Relief Society, because they could not obtain work. What must have been the case had the Bill of Mr. Scarlett been in. operation ? It was a most singular fact, that since the establishment of the Framework Knitters Society (a period Of about twenty months), there had been no less a sum than £17,000 paid from it to unemployed workmen, although, latterly only 3s. 6d. per week could ,be afforded to a man and his family. It was no less singular that £O,OOO of this £17,000 had been raised by the workmen themselves, and wrung from their scanty pittance.—Thesecir c um s t a n ces , while th e y showed the utter impracficability of the Bill, yielded also a forcible an swer to those who maintained that the Poor *ere averse to, or careless of, providing for contingencies. At all events this stig ma could not attach to our provincial Poor.—(A4lause.)—The Bill, upon the whole, was as injurious to the landed as to the com mercial interests of the country ; inasmuch as if passed, at no distant period, when the one interest was borne down, a most ruinous re-action would necessarily take place upon the soil of the country—its noblest boast and strongest palladium. The Petition he was about to propose did little more - than intreat for time to weigh the Provisions of the Bill ; this surely was no thing but reasonable, considering the magnitude of the interests concerned. Amendments might be made, and perhaps a Bill unobjectionable to all parties framed, but the time which would elapse before the close of the present Session of Parliament Was far too short to allow of any such hope. Mr. H. then read a Pe tition to the House of Commons, and moved its adoption by the Meeting. Mr. FirsnY seconded the Motion. The question having been put, Mr. PAGET moved, that the Petition should be again read, which haVing been done, it passed unanimously. The .Petition was then ordered to be presented by the Mem- . berm for the Borough. • Mr. STOCKDAL4: HinDY moved the thanks of the Meeting to their worthy Representative, Mr. Mansfield, for the strenu ous opposition he had manifested in his place in Parliament to Mr. Searlea's Bill. Had the other Hon. Membim for the Bo rough been present in the House, he had no doubt he would have been equally active ; but it was understood he was una voidably absent. The Motion was carried, and after thanks had been voted to the Chairman, the Meeting was dissolved. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. A BILLIor facilitating the TAKING of the POLL on CON- TESTED ELECTIONS for the COUNTY of YORK. Whereas the county of York is of great extent, and the num ber of Freeholders therein entitled to vote at Elections for Knights of the Shire to serve in Parliament is very large, and great delays f ) .4:1 inconveniences have arisen from the Poll at such Elections being taken at the Castle of York only. Be it therefore enacted, by the King's Most Excellent Ma jesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiri tual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after the upon every Election to be made of any Knight or Knights of the Shire, to serve in this present or any future Parliament for the County of York, in case such Election be not determined at the County Court, held at the Castle of York, within the said County, upon the view, with the consent of the Freeholders there present, but that a Poll shall be duly required for the determination thereof, the Sheriff of the said County, or in his absence, his Under She riff, shall and he is hereby required to adjourn such Poll to be taken at the market' towns of Wakefield, Beverley, and Northallerton, and the Castle of York respectively, and to be commenced in each of the said places respectively on the day on which such Poll shall be demanded, or on the next day but one at furthest, unless that shall happen to be a Sunday, and then on the day after. And he it further enacted, That the said Sheriff, or in his absence, the under-sheriff, shall forthwith, by writing under his hand and seal, nominate and appoint prover and sufficient persons to be the Vice-sheriffs of 'Wakefield, Beverley, and Northallerton ; and that the Poll for the wapen takes of Claro, Barkstonash, Bulmcr, Pickering, Lyth, Whit by Strand, Buckrese, Ouse and Dement, and the Ainsty of the city of York, shall be taken at the Castle of York, before the Sheriff of the said county, or in his absence, his under-she-. riff; and that the Poll -for the remainder of the West' Riding of the. said county gillal i- be filen at Walrefieldhefore the vice sheriff of Wakefield ; and that the Poll for the . remainder of the East Riding of the said, comity shall.be taken at Beverley before the vice:Sheriff of -Beverley ; anti that the Poll for the remainder of the North Riding of •the said county shall be taken at Northallerton before the vice-sheriff of Northallerton. And be it further enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for each of the said - vice-sheriffs within their respective districts during the continuance of - the poll therein, and, no longer, to do, and he is hereby required to do all matters and things, and to use and exercise all powers and authorities for taking such Poll as are now or hitherto have been or may be by law done used and exercised by the Sheriff of the said county, for taking the Poll therein at contested Elections fur Knights of the Shire for the said county. And be it further enacted, That the Polls to be taken at Wakefield, Beverley, Northallerton, and the Castle of York shall, from and after the commencement of the same, be duly and regularly proceeded in from day to day (Sun days excepted) until the same be finished, but so as that no such poll shall continue more than days •at most (Sundays excepted), and if such poll shall continue until the day, then the same to he finally closed at or before the hour of threein the afternoon of the same day ; and so as that every such poll during the continuance of the same be kept open for eight hours at the least in each day, between the hours of eight iu the morning and eight at night, unless prevented by any unavoidable accident And. be it-further enacted, That the said Vice-sheriffs re spectively, shall immediately after the final close. of their re spective polls, seal up all the poll-books taken thereat, and shall forthwith convey the same to the Castle of York, anti shall there personally deliver the same to the Sheriff of the said County, or in his absence to his Underasheriff. • • And be it further enacted, That the, Sheriff of the said County, or in his absence-his Under-sheriff; shall immediately, or on the day next after the final delivery of such poll-books by the respective Vice-sheaiffs, and the final close of the whole poll, truly, fairly, - and publicly declare the name or names of the person or persons who have a majority of votes upon the whole poll, and shall forthwith make a return of such person or persons to serve in Parliament as Knight or Knights of the Shire for the said County. And whereas. it woald much tend to shorten the duration of each of the polls to be taken by virtue of this Act, if a power were given - of erecting more than one. booth for taking the poll for each wapentake, but the same cannot now by law be done ; Be it therefore further enacted; That from and after the 'the Sheriff of the said County, or his Linder- sheriff, and each 'of the said Vice-sheriffs, within his respec tive district, shall erect or cause to be erected, at the expence of the candidates,. at each of the places within the said county herein appointed for ehe •taking of the respective polls, such number of cotrvenientlotittei for 'taking tile - pollas the candi dates, or any of thethe shall require ; and shall affix, or cause to be affixed, on the most public part of the said booths, the name or names of the district or districts for which each both is allotted or designed, and shall appoint ,a proper clerk or clerks at each of the said booths - to take the poll,. which . said clerk or clerks shall be at the expense of the candidates, and be paid not exceeding • per day each 'clerk ; and shall also make out a list for each of the said booths respectively, of all the several towns, villages, hamlets and pa rishes lying or being w,holly •Or in part in the district or dis tricts for which such booth is allotted or designed, and shall, upon request made, deliver a true copy thereof to any of the candidates or their agents who shall desire the same, taking for each of the said copies the sum of and no more.

And be it thrther enacted, That no nomination and appoint. went of the said Vice-sheriffs by the said Sheriff, or in his ab sence by his Under-sheriff, shell be liable to any stamp 'or other duty whatsoever. And be it further enacted, That-this Act shall be deemed and taken to be a Public Act, to all intents and ptirposes wkat soever. ii'Oß THE §I3N. ROMAN• CATHOLICS..-(LETTER III.) Mn. EDITOR,-Sorry should I be to incur any just suspicion of intolerance or illiberality to- wards our Christian brethren of the Romish Church. Still more should I lament, if such an accusation should generally adhere to those zea lous members of our, purer . Church, who, like myself, oppose the admission of Roman Catholics to high power and legislatiVe authority. Sin cerely do I love and venerate the names of many pious Romanists ; who, though under invincible error in some points, demonstrated by all their actions that they were full of Christian virtues; preferred the love of Christ to all the bles sing:; of this life. Such men we also can pro duce, in more perhaps than proportionable num bers, comparing the extent and duration of the two Churches; yet our Christian heroes they rank with Judas or Julian, considering their faith as vain, and their virtues, as no better than specious crimes. Yet, thinking as I do of their best men, such. as lluet, Fenelon, Bossnet, and many others, whether known to public fame or would not, even to such men, consent to entrust in-. tluence and dominion in a Protestant State. Their piety.may .be pure, but their errors are invete rate. Those errors, when involuntary, may, and, I trust, be found pardonable, in considera tion of the accompanying piety ; but every error that they hold is ,hostile to our Government.— Their errors act- upon their consciences, and the more sincere they are, the more powerfully do they act, impelling them at all times, and by all available means, to counteract, undermine, and subvert, every Protestant . doininion. How can it he otherwise, while they regard in their souls and consciences our Government as founded in pernicious heresy, rebellious against Christ's Vicegerent, and leading myriads of souls to ine vitable and hopeless perdition ? Charity itself, as they must think, - requires an everlasting' coun teraction against such a power, secret perhaps, when imperious circumstances so .command, but never for a moment intermitted, as to its ope ration on the conscience. I appeal not to history for proofs, with which we know it overflows, of this invariable feeling. I appeal to the principles of their belief, which must have this effect, as long as human motives have an influence on human minds. It is not a feeling of one time more than another. Every honest man must always wish to see an end of that which he regards as originating in wicked ness, and leading to everlasting perdition. Have we such feelings, with reference to them ? Far otherwise. We pity and lament their errors, 'but condemn not the persons. The errors in deed we abhor, as leading to idolatry. will worship, and a thousand dangerous supersti tions ; but to the believers in them, if so believ ing conscientiously, and with soundness in all the genuine articles of faith, we impute no unpardon able sin. What would be guilt in us, whose eyes are opened, may be innocent in those " whose eyes are holden," that they cannot see. But though I can compassionate, and even love, a man whose conscience tells him that he ought to overturn my system of faith and prac tice, it by no means follows that I should en trust him with the power to do so. The power he asks, from natural and even pious motives, I am bound in conscience and in self-defence to refuse. Every indulgence he can wish, for the profession of his religion, though 1 think it la mentably corrupt and very dangerous, I can give with a free heart and every brotherly wish. But to give him power, in the remotest degree, to injure, counteract, or any way impede the faith. which I hold sacred, I never can consent. I know what he must do when he is able ; and that assures me what I must do also, in my own defence, as long as I have any power to act. The case, in a religious point of view, stands thus between us. The pure and ancient creeds of our religion (the Apostles, &c.) we both hold in common ; but the Church of itome has added a fourth creed, which we reject in all its parts. Their fourth creed we think corrupt and super-, stitious—our rejection of it they pronounce dam nable. Under such circumstances, union is im possible, hut Christian charity may still subsist, and on oar parts, I trust, will never receive any violation. CATHOLICUS. DapDFUL RIOT IN Si'. GILES'S.---During the whole of Sunday afternoon, the parishes of St. Giles and Bloomsbury were one scene of riot and disturbance, arising out of one of those brawls which occasionally take place between the low Irish' residing in that quarter. About three o'clock, a mob of about 200 persons assembled in Buckeridge-street, armed with sticks and other weapons, and commenced a most desperate fight, each party being decorated with distin guishing colours. The women employed them selves in collecting brickbats for their respective champions, and at length one party beat the other into High Holborn. The latter then rallied, and forced the others back to St. Giles's again, where the affray was truly dreadful, and no less than 20 men were conveyed to the hospitals and doctors' shops, four of whom are reported to have died sootr afterwards. At length Samuel Furz man, one of constables of the parish, with about 20 assistants, arrived, but were speedily repulsed; and it was not till Sir Robert Baker sent a strong detachment of the Bow-street patrole, that any thing like'order could be maintained. The of ficers charged upon them with their swords, and succeeded in apprehending about twenty of the principal rioters, who were lodged in the strong room of St. Giles's watch-house. They were examined yesterday at Bow-street, and se veral were held to bail. An experiment is now making at Whitebaven for keeping herrings fresh and sweet for a long journey in summer, by means of pyroligneons acid. The fish are wiped dean and their gills removed, and, they are then brushed lightly over with the acid. Haddocks, equal to those froth Aberdeen, may be prepared by the same acid, after.being,slightly rubbed with salt. It ghes _them the smoked taste of Finnaud haddock. LONDON MARKETS.
