THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING; PAPERS, May 18. [MORNING POST.] We have very little to add to the important intelligence from the Brazils given in our Paper of yesterday : EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM RIO JANEIRO, DATED 21ST MARCH, " You will have heard of the determination of his Tvlajesty to proceed at length to Portugal, according to the wishes of the people in that part of the kingdom ; bat it has occasioned great re gret throughout those parts of the Brazils where his Majesty's Decree has been as yet published : and several addresses have been presented to him from the inhabitants here, and at several other places, praying that he may still continue among ns. These petitions have not as yet altered his resolution, although the Deputations were very favourably received. A great number of per sons, particularly foreign merchants, are pre pat ing to leave this place, as business has expe rienced a considerable depression ; so much so ildeed, that many failures may be expected. The Principal bank in this town has very nearly ex perienced a downfal, occasioned by the hard run of merchants and other monied persons, who have withdrawn their cash ; a few wealthy persons have stepped forward, and prevented the ruin of the house, and it is even said that the King , him self has contributed largely to their relief. Va rious are the rumours as to when the King and his Court set out ; but from the extensive and active preparations which are being made, it is expected that Rio will be deserted by them in three weeks. The squadron, consisting of six vessels of war, for the conveyance of his Ma jesty and suite, is now fitting out." [NEW TIMES.] The foreign news from all quarters concurs in showing the miserable result of Revolution. News from Smyrna of the 22d ult. has •been received by way of Genoa, stating that the Greek insurrection bad produced a terrible reaction on the part of the Turks. Dreadful massacres of the Greeks had taken place at Smyrna and Constantinople. Patras had been bombarded, and its miserable inhabitants forced to fly for refuge to the _lonian islands. The Austrian Observer contains intel ligence of the 13th ult. from Jassy, in Moldavia, stating that Michael Suzzo, after having been solemnly excommunicated on account of his re bellion, by the Greek Patriarch of Constanti nople, had been compelled by the principal people of Jassy to resign his usurped authority, and had retired, taking with him (as many of the late revolutionary heroes have done) the military chest of the Insurgents. Ypsilanti, it appears, has in all a force of only 5000 men, and seven pieces of ship cannon. Theodore Wladi►nirskoi, whose views differ entirely from Ypsilanti's, left Bucharest soon after the latter arrived there ; so that there is little appearance of concert in the cperations of these two Chiefs. Turning our 'view to Spain, we find that the Guerillas coati- nue to act with energy against the tyrants of their country. The Curate, Merino, a Royalist Leader, at the head of 1200 men, bids defiance to Martin, better known as the Empecinado, who acts as a General under the Cortes. On the other hand, the hired mobs, of the liberal faction in Madrid, continue.to emulate all the atrocities of the Septembriseurs of 1792. After having assassi nated the CanonSinuessa, in prison, the Members of the Club at• La Fontana d'Oro (an exact copy of the French Jacobin Club) met together to pre pare lists of proscription, in which each put down the name of his victim ! The accounts from Rio Janeiro give us reason to dread some further con vulsions there. Plots of all kinds are in agita tion : these,- it is surmised, formed the real rea- son for the King's adopting the resolution of em barking for Europe. Should his Portuguese Majesty, however, carry this project into effect, it may probably lead to a declaration Of inde pendence by the revolutionary party in Brazil ; the result of which would, in all probability, be *endless pro,scriptions, confiscations, and civil war. The anticipation of these . evils has greatly alarmed. the British Residents there, who would probably be among the first to suffer in their pro perty, if not in their persons. Such is the la- rnentable picture . - presented in countries where the mania of revolution, after it had began to subside in other parts of the world, has been again stimulated into action by the intrigues of a restless faction, falsely and impudently assuming to themselves the title of Friends of Freedom! [MORNING HERALD.] The accounts from Vienna of the 3d, bring news from Jassy to the lath of April, which give a very unpromising representation of the prospects of the Gieek insurgents. We mention, however, that one of the untoward events for their cause, Put forward by the Austrian Ob server, is their being excommunicated by the Greek Christian Patriarch of Constantinople, as rebels to their liege Lord, the son and successor of the Prophet. Knowing, however, that this venerable person is in the hands of a power which cuts off heads, without the least remorse, upon slighter provocations than a refusal in such a pole, .and that mattyrdom is a trying alterna tive, even for a Patriarch, they must ,have been prepared for this event. But, abandoned as the Greeks seem to be by Russia, they have little prospect of success. Permanently weak as the . Turkish Government is, yet, from its absolute power, and the, robust stamina which the nation owes to a barbarous pride and ferocious, supersti tion, it will be able to make such a single ef fort,' as .will, in all probability, put an .end to the hopes of the Greeks. [BRITISH PRESS] The result of. Sir Francis Burdett's motion for an inquiry into the circumstances attending the meeting at. Manchester, on the fatal 16th of: Au gust, 1819, is such as every one who knows any thing about the constitution of the House of Coln- Moos have expected ; but it is not on this ac count less to be lamented. It is a stain npOu th e fair fame of our national system of justice, 111.44 an event in which upwards of five hundred per sons were severely wounded and some were killed by the unnecessary employment of troops, should be permitted to pass away, notwithstanding re peated efforts made by independent Members of the Legislature, by the friends of the deceased, and by the surviving sufferers, without any satis factory inquiry having been made into the causes that led to this sanguinary occurrence. The inves tigation that was commenced at Oldham, in the inquest holden upon the body of John Lees, one of the victims of military violence, was sufficient, though incomplete, to shew the true character and complexion of that dreadful scene, and the country can now very easily understand why the Coroner, in violation of his duty, suspended the inquest just at the moment when the evidence was o❑ the point of particularising some of the chief actors in the attack that was made upon the people. Of this we think there can be little doubt, that if the Ministers of the Crown thought that the inquiry proposed by Sir Francis Burdett would terminate creditably or to the advantage of the Manchester Magistrates and Yeomanry, they would not refuse so pertinaciously to accede to the prayers of the numerous, sufferers who crowded the table of the House of Commons with their petitions. [THE TIMES.] We can hardly permit the melancholy subject of the Manchester business to pass away, without a remark or two. 'We know as well as others the awkward position in which Lord Castl-eseagh is placed, and shall endeavour either to help him out of it, or at least to palliate his continuance in it. His Lordship is the representative of a cer tain set of opinions in the House of Commons, and which be represents and defends as well as he can ; and as they who embrace those opinions - do not embrace them on his persuasion, but gene rally possessing and professing them already, find him accidentally their leader, talis quails— the preacher .is neither answerable for the num ber of his proselytes, nor are the proselytes obliged to vindicate their conversion by the powers of the preacher. Yet did the second night's debate of Sir Francis Burdett's motion lead to the detec tion, or rather acknowledgement, of such im mense falsehoods in Lord Castleseagh's previous statements respecting the Manchester business, as indicates rather a want of common caution on the part of his Lordship in his inquiries respect ing facts, than a mere defect in his mode of rea- soning upon them and as it is every man's duty, and within the reach of every man's powers, to investigate the truth of the statement before he makes it, it is not quite so easy to palliate his Lordship's neglect upon this head. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The feeling of the public on the subject of the Manchester Outrage is not of a temporary nature ; it is no speculative inquiry on remote abuses : but a simple question, whether a number of indi viduals can be slaughtered in this country of boasted justice, without legal investigation as to the means and circumstances which brought them to a violent end. There now yawns a hideous chasm in the administration of justice. Time cannot close it—the liberties of the country may. We might, indeed, point out a Curtius whom it would well become to leap into the sulf ; but self-devotion is not of the Ministerial virtues ; and when we are to witness a human sacrifice," plectuntur Achivi."—The single fact of the Magistrates having employed the Yeor manry, is a signal instance of blameable indis cretion, and one that, being attended with such disastrous consequences, should have forbade Lord Sidmouth'sexpression of praise and approval. The Yeomanry was the last force that should have, been employed; it is notorious that in manufactur ing districts the masters and men live on terms of mutual distrust, ill blood, and hostile confedera tion against each other—the Yeomanry are ge nerally composed of the former description, the Mob of the latter—thus the duty of dispersing the multitude was entrusted to those whose pas sions might reasonably be supposed inflamed by feelings of private and personal hostility.—The result is too well known. Lord Londonderry states, that the events of that day drew blood, not in blushes to his cheeks for the remorseleSs military execution inflicted on an unarmed flying mob, but blood from his heart, for what his Lord ship can best explain. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. SIR HARCOTJAT LEES.—We this day submit to the serious attention of our numerous readers the twelfth letter* of probably one of the ablestand most enlightened men at this day existing in the British Empire ; we need scarcely mention the name of Sir Harcourt Lees, the indefatigable, the inflexible, and all-powerful supporter and never sleeping guardian of our Protestant Establish ments in both Church and State. This great man early saw the dangers that threatened both the Altar and the Throne from the systematic and persevering attempts of Whigs and Radicals, and for two years past has his energetic mind and commanding talents been engaged in the defence of every thing that ought to be dear to a British subject or a Christian, and with great and con clusive effect.—We have it from the declaration of a Gentleman of the first consequence, within these two last days, just arrived from a tour through England, that the enthusiasm excited in all parts of the country, as well as in the Metropolis, in favour of both Church and King, in consequence of Sir Harcourt Lees's unremitting exertions, is unexampled ;• and letters from numerous Corres pondents all agree with this most gratifying • The letter in question deserves indeed all the praise which the Editor of The Hibernian Journal applies to it. It is written with spirit, vigour, learning, and irrefragable reasoning ; and'the patriotic Baronet has conferred an import-ant obligation on the paper in whiCh he has permitted the whole series of his animated productions to appear. We sincerely regret that we have not had room for the insertion of so admirable a de fence of our Constitution in Church and State, the BULWARK •of the CIVILIZED WORLD. Nothing could exceed the anxiety with which they were received by tile loyal people of the Sister Island, but particularly in its loyal metropolis. statement—lU fact his arguments, his authorities,. his reasonings, are neither to be contradicted or replied to. Sir Harcourt always grapples not only with the ablest and most popular adversaries of the day, but at once assails them in their strongest positions, which he bears down and carries by a force quite irresistible ; (for, as to the trading Parliamentary patriots, he appears to consider them much as the King of the Forest does the Reptiles ; in his progress he crushes them.) Lord Grey was afraid even to attempt a speech on the 'Catholic Question, and the Corporation of London are silent for some time past, reflecting on the good advice he gave them three months ago. There are two striking features in the character of this en lightened scholar, which must have struck even the most superficial observer ; one is that undaunted firmness of mind which always supporte him in every difficulty or danger ; the other that profound - veneration with which he contemplates and speaks of the Church establishment, and its dignified and pious Hier archy ; and whilst he neither desponds like Mr. Peel, or quotes ribald verses like Mr. Canning, he yields to neither in point of talent, and rises far superior to both in respect of information and deep and profound research. We call on Roman Catholics to answer his observations respecting the Council of Constance in the latter part of the letter ; and until they can, never to allude to the opinions of foreign Universities, on the subject of Popish Faith, and allegiance to a Protestant King and Government. We will venture to as sert, the question was never put in such a point of view before, and we recommend it to the Most serious attention of the Legislature.—(Hibernian Journal, May 14.) RIO DE JANEIRO ROYAL DECREE. Divine Providence having vouchsafed to grant, after a most destructive war, the much wished for blessing of a general peace to all the States of Europe, and to permit a commence ment to be made in laying the foundation of the happiness of the Portuguese Monarchy through the medium of the General and Extraordinary Cortes, assembled in my most noble and loyal City of Lisbon, for the purpose of giving to the whole United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and Algarves, a political Constitution, conform able to those liberal principles which, in con sequence of the increase of knowledge, have been generally received by all nations ; and it having been made manifest in my presence by learned persons, zealous in the performance of their duty to heaven and to me, that the minds of my faithful subjects, more particularly of those inhabiting this kingdom of Brazil, anxious for the maintenance of the union and integrity of the Monarchy, were fluctuating in a painful state of uncertainty, because I had not declared in a solemn manner my express, absolute, and deci sive approbation of the said Constitution, in order to its being generally completed and executed without alteration or difference in all the States under my Royal Sceptre therefore thought fit to make the declaration contained in my De cree of the 24th of February last, taking a so lemn oath, in concert with all my Royal Family, the people and troops of this city, to observe, maintain, and preserve the said Constitution in this and the other dominions of the Monarchy, such as it shall be prepared, framed, and adopted by the before-mentioned General Cortes of the kingdom. I moreover ordered the Governors, Captains-General, and all authorities, civil, mili tary, and ecclesiastical, throughout all the other provinces, to take themselves, and to administer to all persons under their command or jurisdic tion, the like oath, as anew pledge and bond, cal , culated to assure the union and integrity of the Monarchy. But it being the first and most es sential condition of the Social Compact, thus ac cepted and sworn to by the whole nation, that the Sovereign shall fix his residence in the place where the Cortes meet, in order that the laws which shall be discussed may be prompt ly presented to him, and receive without de lay his indispensible sanction, the religious fidelity with which it becomes me' to fulfil the arduous duties imposed upon me by the oath I have sworn, requires that I should make, for the general good of all my people, one of the most painful sacrifices of which my paternal and royal heart is capable, by separating myself from subjects whose memory shall be ever dear to me, and whose prosperity, wherever I may be, will constantly form one of the most anxious cares of my paternal government. It is then fit, in com pliance with the duty which Providence has assigned to me, of sacrificing every thing for the felicity of the nation, that I should resolve, as in fact I have resolved, to trans fer my Court to the City of Lisbon, the an cient seat and cradle of the Monarchy, in order there to co-operate with the representatives of the people in the glorious work of restoring the gallant Portuguese nation to that high degree of splendour which distinguished our country in ancient times. But I shall leave here my dearly beloved and highly esteemed son, the Prince Royal of the United Kingdom, charged with the Provisional Government of this Kingdom of Brazil, until the general Constitution of the nation be established therein. And in order that my peo ple of this kingdom of Brazil may the sooner participate in the advantages of the national re presentation, by sending an adequate number of Deputies to the General Cortes of the United Kingdom, I have, in another Decree of this date, given precise directions for the immediate election in all the provinces of the said Deputies, according to the form of the instructions adopted for that purpose in the kingdom of Portugal. The Deputies for this province will without delay repair, successively as they are elected, to this city, in order that those who shall arrive before my departure, may accompany me. I have other wise provided for the conveyance of those of this or of the northern provinces, who may, after that period, have to undertake the same voyage. From the Palace of Rio de Janeiro, March 7, 11121. A young lady and gentleman passed through Grantham, in a post chaise and four, last week, on their way to Gretna-green. It has since been ascertained that the fugitives eloped - from Huntingdon, and that the young lady's name WAS Wu., and the gentleman's name is i\EDUAM. FOR THE SUN. ROMAN CATHOLICS, Mr. toiron--ATyO7Wicier has long . been distinguished . for a firm adherence to the prin ciples of the Constitution in C!...'-rch and• State, and more particularly by a rooted attachment to our Protestant Establishment, I flatter myself that it will give yott sincere pleasure to learn that some hardy assertions respecting the em ployment of Catholics in former times are entire ly unfounded. It was asserted by the Marquis of BucKlNc.n.tm, in the most positive manner, that Lord How Attn of Effingham, the Cornman , der-in-Chief against the Spanish Armada, was a Papist, and this assertion called down repeated exclamations of " Hear, .hear !" in the House . of Lords. Now, Sir, it ought to be universally known that the Marquis of BUCKINGHAM was mistaken. i and that there is no foundation what ever for this assertion. Lord CHARLESZOWARD, the High Admiral of Queen ELIZABETH, was a very determined and distinguished Protestant, So much so, that he was thought to be a favourer of. the Puritans, and it is to -him that we owe the detec tion of the Popish Nag's Head Plot, which was intended to set aside the validity of our Ordi nations. So it was asserted by the same Nobleman, that the QUEEN'S Governor of Dover Castle at that critical period was a Papist. This Noble man was BROOKE, Lord COBHAM (not Lord PEMBROKE, as has been erroneously stated,) and this Lord COBHAM was also a most determined Protestant. When it is considered, ':'tt few men are able or willing to give themselves the trouble to detect such historical blunders, I leave you to judge of the mischief which they may occasion. But to know how little Queen 'ELIZABETH was a fa vourer of the Papists, you need only remember that, during her reign, 62 Popish Priests were exe cuted and 55 banished. Bath, May 10, 1821. A PLAIN ENGLISHMAN. VACCINATiON. COPY' OF THE REPORT TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT, FROM TUE -.)IATIONAL VACCINE ESTABLISHMENT, APRIL 12, 1821. To the Right Hon. Lord Viscount SIDMOUTII, Principal Se cretary of State for the Home Department, &c. &c. &c. National Vaccine Establishment, Percy-street, April 12. Mw 1401133-.lt is with great regret we announce to your Lord ship, that the small pox has occasioned the loss of many lives in various parts of the United Kingdom since our last Report ; and that not less than 792 persons-have died of:: that distemper within the bills of mortality, in the course of the last year.— This is about one-third of the average number of those who perished annually in the metropolis before the introduction of vaccination ; but so many deaths afford a strong presumptive proof that great prejudices still prevail against vaccination, and that the benevolent designs of the Governinent are still far from being accomplished. This Board has laboured incessantly to set forth the compara tive ease and safety of the indisposition of vaccination, and the difficulty and danger of the small pox, whether occurring natu rally or occasioned by inoculation ; and it has been assisted most importantly, and in the true spirit of disinterested bene volence, by the Master, Governors, and Members of the Court of Assistants of the Royal College of Surgeons, who have bound themselves individually to each other by a solemn engagement, not to yield to any solicitations to inoculate for the small • This good example has been followed by most of the respecta ble practitioners in the country ; though some of them, we are sorry to say, have lent themselves improvidently to this injurious practice. And we find that the multitude in many places has been so infatuated, as to accept the .proferred services even of itinerant inoculators, in spite of their gross ignorance of all disease, and of the rudeness and inaptitude of the instruments which they employ to insert the poison. Hence a perpetual source of contagion is supplied and kept up, to the constant danger of all such as have not yet been vaccinated, or who may have undergone an imperfect process, or whose peculiarity of constitution makes them still susceptible of the yariolous dis ease : a peculiarity similar to that which renders some persons capable of taking the small pox twice ; of which within the pe riod of three years only, we have received evidence of not less than fifty-two instances. It is true, indeed, my Lord, that we have received ac-- counts from different parts of the country, of numerous cases of small pox having occurred after vaccination ; and we can not doubt, that the prejudices of the people against this pre ventive 'expedient, are assignable (and not altogether unrea sonably perhaps) to this cause. These cases the Board has been industriously employed - in investigating ; and though it appears that many of them rest only on hearsay evidence, and that others, seem to have under gone the vaccine process imperfectly, some years since, when it was less well understood, and practised less skilfully than it ought to be, yet, after every reasonable deduction, we are com pelled to allow that too many still remain on undeniable proof, to leave any doubt that the pretensions of vaccination, to the merit of a perfect and exclusive security in all cases against small-pax, Were admitted at first rather too unreservedly. Yet the value of this important resource. is not disparaged in our judgment; for, after all, theSe cases bear a very small propor tion to the number of those who are effectually , protected by it. The reports of the vaccinators at the several stations in the metropolis, give only eight cases of small-pox, out of nearlY 67,000 vaccinated by them, since the first establishment of this Board ; and as the small-pox has prevailed extensively in Lon don; these persons so vaccinated must have been frequently ex posed to contagion, and consequently the protecting effect of vaccination must have been submitted to as severe a test as can well be imagined. Moreover, we have the most widoubted proofs, from experience, that where vaccination has been per formed perfectly, small-pox occurring after . it is almost uni versally a safe disease ; and though ushered in by severe symp toms-, has hardly ever failed to be cut short before it had reach ed that period when it becomes dangerous to life. - This controlling power of vaccination must he admitted as nest in importance to its preventive influence; and surely justifies our high estimation of the.yalue of this great discovery. The Board has taken care to promulgate to all its corres pondents, by repeated admonitions, those modes of conducting the process of vaccination, which ample experience, within its own immediate sphere of observation, has ascertained to be the most successful. . _ It cannot be denied, my Lord, that the continuance of the practice of inoculation for the small pox is the main source of whatever disappointment we have met with ; for in those coun tries where the Legislature has interfered to prohibit it, and to enforce vaccination, the small pox has become almost unknown, and the full benefit of this valuable discovery is enjoyed ; but similar results, we know, cannot be looked for in the United Kingdom, until the whole community shall concur voluntarily in this salutary practice.. We-have only to add, that 6,033 persons were vaccinated last year at the several stations in London; that 48,105 charges have been given to the public, and that 77,467 hive been vac cinated in Great Britain and Ireland, by our immediate cOrre spendents only ; making a total of 84,400 vaccinated last year, a number superior to that of any former year.

Thigh ease 'originally came before the Court in consequence of the proceedings of the creditors of the late Lord Ormond,.who, coneching it the most sure course to pursue for the obtainment et the liquidation of their claims, had- pm.:getied to-t4ke the erects in the Castle of Kilkenny. Pending these 'proceedings, application it as made to the Lord Chancellor to restrain them from disnosing of the family plate, &c. which by the - will of the late Duke were declared to be heirlooms on the estate, he' con ceiving his English end Irish property sufficient to defray them; the truste-es having refused to admit the present Lord Ormond into possession of the Castle at Kilkenny: Mr. BART said, he was instruced to move that he (Lord Ormond),should be forthwith put auto possession of it .and also to about 40 or 50 acres of land, which h a d be e n us ua lly enjoyed with it. The British and Trish estates, he observed, had been given to Mr. Butler Clark, with a reversionary: interest to the present Duke, subject to the payment of the incurribrances; but as their amount was not yet ascertained correctly, he would, for the present, decline- asking any thing more than he had done, trusting that when it was remembered that no person could be found to pav the rent asked for the Castle., and the great injury it had already sustained, and was likely to suffer from remain ing untenanted, were taken into consideration, his Lord hip would grant the motion.

CRUELTY.--On Wednesday last a complaint was made to the Sitting Magi.itrate at Union Hall, by Mr. Gooch, Churchwarden of Camber well, against John Gold, a milkman, and his wife, residing in Southampton-place, for their brutal treatment of Ann Gold, a child aged eight years, by his former wife. Mr. Gooch stated, that on the preceding evening four persons had waited upon • the Parish Officers and Committee at the Work-house, and entered fully into a de' tail of the cruel treatment. of Gold and his wife to the child in question ; in consequence of which he took the beadle with him to Gold's house! tic hOe he'ttw the child, who appeared to have been recently beaten in a desperate manner.
