THE LONDON JOURNALS. [DAILY EXTRACTS VROM PAPERSI 11,errild.1 • The Declaration of tlie . Sovercips assembled at Troppau was received yesterdaxfi - unt Troppan, and will be fucuit in another column. We stated"a•few dap since, that this de nunciatiuu was nut confined tol'sraples, but. also comprised, iu express terms, Spain and Portugal. This we Ami is the fact. The very first seotei:ce passes sentence of counter- rerohttion upon the existing order of things in Spain, Porte gal, and Itiapies. This diitunietit is very short, but conta:ns ntori . false-reasonnig, false ,prineipte, ithd-erett false asser tion, tpan any that reeoiket to have ever t'esn.

There is, according to -at-it-ant henticated tumour, it design on the part of a Puwer- Oody of tile roust respectable and independent ,over , Clutt,ts, bankers, of London, to call a public meeting, and to exprei, their sentiments oh the dangers which now i/npend over the country. In deliberating on thin im; - subje‘t, the existing evils most present- thetn,rkes nro!er three pulls of view—their origin, their, extent, and the means of their mitigation or removal. Front such an arrangement of the tattier to he discussed it is utterly um wixsitscetvexclude the conduct of the King's Ministers, or V,etr pretensions to remain Ministers, unless we air disposed to out from our contemplation both the cause of the n‘alarly and its cure.

It is plain, to be sure, who these stilturhers have been; tor their: is but one small Wily of Olen in the nr.:ion,who (let others, martiiest what disposition they ' t;ii ,. ) hare co mmand enough over the means and engines of commotion, to pi odoce that frightful tempest which now agitates the country trusn - end tv cud. . • [Morning Chronicle.] • The Declaration of the persons who assembled secretly at a 'tavern, and called themselVei " the Merchants, Bankers, and Traders of London," certainly contains soruC, few mimes ot great respect: hut there is an arrogance in a click assum ing to itself the name of the Merchants of London, which makes t!,eir effort to ereen Ministers from public censure, un,, , i;.hy of ail - uttern , on• The ari:tice was yesterday con demn, d by the most respectalde, and lead.ni.; charaeters of the City; and we hare authority to say, that it is determined to give the independent Mrrehants, rankers, and Traders, • T pi,rtunity cprv , ving their scioirnents on the present state of atrArs, in the wily way in which such an expression cam hivi: 'a jest it , fIUCIICe Oil his Majesty ' s mind, alld on the . et4lintry—namely, at a public Meeting, duly called for .the uurpose.

However, tins unnatural harmony will not List lune. The aristocratic part of the connection have 'to lea; n that they hate fortunes to lose, as aull as resentments to gratify; aild the thorough-paced reformers are of too hard a stuff to he gamed by haft ap koaelies. In the mean lime, it is hardly possible, in the wide range Ot caricature, to imagine a more grotesque association Allan that between a proud, splenetic, and discontented Aris tocrat, and a sturdy,. determined, and entinitig leveller. firfgarib, in bis finest bunionr,•coulti not hate drawn such a 'group as the political whirl of our time has frequently jumbled together. When we see so grave and proud a person - aee as Itail Grey, full of high pretemeons, stooping to the arts that gNitl. Upon a radical meeting, we thrust asiee for a MO.' j i ,c,,t th e danger of the exiithvie to witness the bard struggle between dignity and condescension. However , the ridicu lous pit'rt of the scene is soon sunk in ri , fiections tot its mischievous tetirlency ; and. we, cannot but feel man anxiety for the for tunes of the State, at seeing the rage of faction and the taint of an unpricu;plett timintieat affecting a min Of his weight r the country, We may attach ti.o much importance atxt , attribute too much danger to the conduct we have desceilied. We wish it were ; but with every just aliLwance for party violence and bitanto frailty, we cannot divest ourselves of an impression, that the 'Whigs have them selves destroyed the last shred of 'confidence it; their wisdom and consistency. Their conduct fur some months past (0c:113511s' fur a tniiels longer period) has been the meats of • soliing a political problem of the first importance— whether, in the 'event of the party, who have so long aeuktiistere the alirits of the Country, wishing to re • s4n, another count be' Woad with the requisite skill and prudence to sneered them.
