THE LONDON JOURNALS• DAILY. EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING TAPERS, October 11. [MORNING POST.] The 'French Papers to the Bth inst. are almost entirely filled with the details of an interesting trial (given in another column), in which an in dividual was charged with uttering words which led to •a belief of his having been the accomplice of the assassin Louvel. According to the evi dence produced, he had not only expressed the most unqualified approbation of the murder of the unftirtunate Duke de Berry, but had openly procliimed his complicity. , The Advocate-Ge neral, however, seemed indisposed to prosecute him on that ground, and only charged him with the lesser offence of uttering seditious language. The Jury were still milder, and so worded their_ verdict as to satisfy their consciendes, and yet to acquit the prisoner. —They pronounced him guilty of" outrages against public morals, and of insults against certain members of the Royal Family ;" but they contrived to save him from punishment, by add ing, that those outrages and insults bad not been committed in a public place, in consequence of which the French law directed an acquittal, and the Convict was set at liberty ! The intelligence brought by theSe Papers with respect to the sa nitary state of Spain continues to be favourable., The fierce heat of the - summer having subsided,a corresponding alteration had taken place in the vio lence of the fever. Even at Barcelona and 13arce lonetta, the progress of the infection had grown less rapid, and the number of deaths had. diminished. The appioach of winter held out an encouraging prospect, and little doubt was entertained of Spain being freed in a few weeks from .a.disorder, the ravages of which are as extensive and as fatal as those of the plague itself. It is astonishing how little attention is paid by the Red4cleurs of the French Journals, and by some of their translators -and copyists in this country, to the frequent repetition of articles. • The Paris Papers, of'Saturday last contained'verbatim What they had. published a 'fortnight 'before, in the shape of additional conditions required by the Emperor Alexander -after the acceptance of his ic:finzatunz by the Porte. These very same con ditions had also appeared at the time in all the English Newspapers, and had been made the subject 'natter of various comments. Yet they were greedily re-translated and republished on Wednesday by all our contemporaries, and even re-commented upon by some with a_ degree of forgetfulness which is little short of miraculous! [MORNING HERALD.] • The alarm created by the - rumour of " conta gious disease at Marseilles has_ been completely removed. The state of health there is most satisfactory, and the few cases in the lazaretto are of the ordinary character. It appears by accounts from Cadiz, that the 'report of. the existence of infection in that quarter was also unfounded. Neither in that city, Xeres, or Port St. Mary, are there any symptoms of yel low fever among the patients in the hospitals.-L-- In Catalonia, however, the state of the people within the infected and encircled - dfstrictsjs still dreadful, although, there is some slight allevia tion. The cordon of health is drawn 'closer round Barcelona, from which it would appear Oat the distemper is receding, or perhaps that its extent was over-rated in' the first instance".— Soirie attempts have been made by Spaniards to . pass into France, but without success. In one,in stance a band of smugglers made the attempt, but were repulsed with the Icis of three or four men, whose bodies were buried, together with the smug gled goods left behind. ; There are no political ar ticles in'Saturday's Paris Papers from the Spanish Journals, r even in the suspicious form of private letters. From Frankfort thcire is some furthernien tion of a plot . discovei•ed by the Austrian Govern thent in Transylvania. Its authors and even its Ofjects are not stated. Two Hungarian Noblemen, Count Testclitz and Baron Orozy are said to have been arrested, but only for the offence of " having used language little agreeable to the Government." The - obsequies' of the murdered . Patriarch of Constantinople have been solem rtiZed with great • pomp at St. Petersburgh, by order of the Emperor of Russia. [NEW TIMES. It is not many months since a prOposition was brought before the Legislature, and strongly sup ported by some medical Gentlemen, as well as others,fOr Wholly abolishing ou r quarantine laws— and how we find a clamonr raised against Go.. vernment, because they do not ,introduce into those laws " some regUlationS of amore exact and rigorous nature !" We Certainly do not go . along with those who think the laWs should be relaxed ; and on the . cantrary we trust that they vi , lll be carried into execution with the utmost vigilance ; bin the indi g n a ti on o f every candid mind will be excited; at the malignant insinua tions which accompany the discussion of this sub ject in The Tunes of yesterday. , The. Govern runt of France is 'described, by way olcoutrast to our own, as a " parental one;'' and this is foll Owed up with the horrible suggestion that/he British Government may perhaps think it 6 4 a piece of justifiable policy to expose Eng land to the preventive check of pestilence, lest those of war, and . occasional want of food, should fail sufficiently to reduce her numbers !" How so wicked an idea could pass through a humin mind, is really inexplicable still more so how a public writer could - prevail on himself to circulate it among the _Prejudiced and ignorant part of the people. Here is a Jour nalist, who only five days ago affeeted to be shocked,lhat 'ignorance and self-conceit should be attributed to an individual Member of the House of CoMmOns ; and yet this - same Jour nalist now imputes - 0 the whele body, of his Majesty's Ministers, 'the cold-blooded project of introducing pestilence into the country, for the express purpose of causing a laige destruction of human life ! This ,atrocious calumny will, no doubt, be attempted he excused, as merely hypothetical. But will the.reuders of The Times) of whom the majority are now to be found among the lower classes of society, be either able or willing to make this distinction ? If it be not meant that they should receive the suggestion, as at least probable, for what purpose- it stated ? It is to be observed that the passage on which we are remarking forms the conclusion of a.. pretty long article, and must appear to the cotnmou reader to be the result of the facts previously re lated. And what are those facts ?. Why that three vessels have come to different ports in Eng land with - the yellow fever on board, and that proper precautions (as is alleged) have not been taken to'prevent the infection from spreading. [THE TIMES. The Bank of England, it is said, have decided on calling in the 51. notes, as they have already withdrawn those of 11. and 21., thus leaving none of a lower denomination than 101. in circulation. This is, on the whole, a gratifying circumstance. It tends to confirm the confidence entertained by the public in the steadiness and duration of the restored metallic currency, and in the abundant resources of the Bank. It will further diminish the number and the risk of forgeries ; and, in deed, it is but common justice that the Bank should by indirect means accomplish that good which they have told the country they will not do in the natural and obvious manner—namely, by an improvement in the quality of their notes, and an immediate enhancement of the difficulty attending their imitation. But, on the other hapd, if it be recollected that one of the ob jections stated formerly to the adoption or search. after a more perfect Bank-note, was the immense number of small ones issued, amount ing, as it appears, to 80,000/. per day, there is now, an additional argument for desiring from the Bank a more elaborate and finished performance, since their own objection is thus removed ; and the greater value of the note which the public accepts from them in exchange for gold, can well bear and defray the expence of a more high wrought manufacture. At the same time we are ready to acknowledge, that as notes for 101. are seldom taken but under circumstances which afford some facility of tracing them, less tempta tion will present itself to crime, and less danger to fair and open dealing, in the compound ratio of the. increased value and reduced number of the notes which still remain current. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Our intelligence from Dublin affords some in teresting particulars as to the cause and effect of the Lord Mayor's obnoxious toast given at his inauguration dinner. On such occasions, it is the etiquette to submit the list of toasts to the Lord Lieutenant, and in this instance the usual ceremony was not omitted. His Excellency, therefore, must have given his approbation, or the " Glorious Memory," in its new dress, would not have been proposed.. Alderman James is an expec tant, and too cunning to venture on a speculation likely to involve important consequences, without he had been fully authorised by the Viceroy. The Lord Lieutenant is considered responsible for this new breach of faith with the Catholic body, which is an act of direct disobedience to the King's injunction. Whether Lord Talbot re ceived any slight frorrrhis Majesty while in Ire land, or that he wished to set his mark of dis approbation on Mr. Grant's measures, it would be difficult to ascertain, but it is pretty evident, that he has thrown himself into the arms of the Orange faction, and the Protestants, desirous of conciliation, think a party man, of this descrip tion, unfit for the Government of Ireland at the present conjuncture.—The Catholics, we un derstand, are conducting themselves very calmly under the new insult they have received. They consider it more a matter that concerns their Pro testant brethren than them, and they coolly wait until they shall learn what step'his Majesty will adopt to render them justice. The good work of conciliation was List spreading throughout the country, and many Protestants of high Church principles had abandoned their objections to the Catholic claims, from the conviction, that peace and harmony would certainly lead to the pros perity of the people; but unless some atonement shall be made for a gross and premeditated breach of a solemn compact, it can scarcely be expected, that the Catholics will permit direct insults to pass with impunity, especially when they think that such means of provocation are countenanced by the Government. [BRITISH PRESS.] We took occasion a few days since to observe, with reference to the arbitrary removal of Sir Robert Wilson from the half-pay list of the army, that an extended half-pay list, placed thus absolutely under the controul of the Ministers of the Crown, Was, in its nature, calculated to pro duce, a constitutional evil of no inconsiderable magnitude. Parliament most probably will not think it wise to interfere, for the pur pose of rendering Officers on the half-pay more independent of the Government than they are at present, for we must confess that we do not readily see how any difference in principle can be admitted between the power of the Crown over Officers on the half-pay and Officers on active service ; but by a happy disposition in our Constitution, to which we have had occasion more than once to refer, this evil can be safely and effectually corrected by a careful and gradual diminutio t of this particular head of the public expenditure. The integrity of our Constitution, the boasted liberty and privileges of Englishmen,' may most eniphatically be said to be bound up with the strings of our purses, and so long as Parliament shall watch carefully over the pUblic money—parsimoniously granting, and jealously controlling the supplies, no serious evil can arise to the interests of the country. Our half-pay list was one of those points of the public expenditure to which the attention of Parliament and of the Country was particularly directed on the return of peace. The great reduction in the army and navy at that period necessarily swelled the half pay list to.a very large amount, and our readers may recollect -the very nice calculations which were then used by Lord Castlereagh, in the House of Commons, to shew that in a very few years this list, either by the deaths or promotions of the Officers, would' be retiaced to little or nothing. Parliament and the Country were, then assured - that every opportunity would be eagerly seized for restoring the Otrice-rs of •the half-pay to active- services but in this our hopes have . been utterly disappoi►;ted. The number of Offi cers on half-pay is still shamefully great ; pro motion is suffefed to run on 'in the several regi ments withoyt the slightest regard to the half pay list ; and the interests of the public are sa crificed, at the same time that the "claims of a de- serving body of men are ungratefti'lly and cruelly forgotten. This subject has been already too long neglected by Parliament, but possibly the recent occurrence of Sir Robert Wilson's removal may, by exciting some feelings such as we expressed a few days since, awaken the vigilance of the House of Commons. The country cannot afford to pay two sets of officers ; national gratitude would doubtless stimulate us to many exerticns and many sacrifices, but this gratitude ought in most cases rather to induce us to change half-pay to active service•, and we would thus at once disburden ourselves of this moral obligation, and 'afford a seasonable relief to our depressed finances. But if from circumstances the half-pay Officers are driven to become in their respective cir cles of society mere agents and partisans of the Ministry —if they are deterred from avowing their own -sentiments, or from refus ing to embrace those of their masters—if they are beset by spies, and taught to feel that the most effectual way of, rendering themselves acceptable to their superiors is to act the part of spies themselves, the country will not consent to maintain so pernicious an establishment. The public will insist upon having the nuisance abated : they will not endure in a free form of government the anomaly of having a large body of men bearing the false appearance of free citi zens, while subject to the caprice of the Mini sters, and exposed to all the worst consequences of military authority without being amenable to the operations even of ,military law. PROCESSION EXTRAORDINARY. -Yesterday, about five o'clock, considerable curiosity was ex cited in the Strand, by the exhibition of a coal heaver seated on a ladder, slung on the shoul ders of two coal-heavers, who proceeded from S s outhamptim-street iu the direction of. Charing cross. The circumstances were these :—The proprietor of a coal-wharf, having a workman ill at one of the hospitals, Sent him a bottle of wine, which he entrusted to the care of the man's wife, who, instead of taking it to her afflicted spouse, thought proper to carouse with one of her hus r band's fellow-workmen. The effects of the wine thus enjoyed were productive of a closer approxi mation than probably was contemplated by either of the parties. The male offender was paraded as above described for a considerable time, and instead of finishing by giving him a ducking or a castigation at the cart's tail, they adjourned to a public-house, where oceans of blue ruin were eagerly inhaled by himself and - conirades• to a late hour. lturnour .states that this candidate for notoriety has already three wives alive and thriving. MELANCHOLY CA.TAsTizoPiir.. —On Friday evening last (ith inst), - about ten o'clock, as two young men were walking down the end of the East Pier, at Ramsgate, they observed a bundle wrapped up lying behind one of the stone posts ' • they took it up and unpacked it, when the contents were found to be a Lady's bonnet,. Bath cloak, and a shawl, and from their, not being witwith the dew they could not in all pro babilityhave been there long. The extraordinary circum stance was immediately made known, but nothing transpired that evening : the clothes were lodged in the hands of Lieut. Woodward,. the Harbour Master. On the following day pub lic.notices were posted, stating that a Lady had left her home that evening about a quarter before ten o'clock, and had not since been heard of. The dress was carried to the Lady's late residence, and it being recognized.by her, husband, there was too great reason to fear the unfortunate Lady had thrown her self into the sea in a state of despondency. Too much credit cannot be given to Lieut. Woodward for his truly laudable zeal and unremitting attention, in sending the boats and crews un der his command to search for the body, but their attempts were fruitless, and nothing was ascertained respecting it till about five yesterday afternoon (Monday, the Bth instant), when the body of the above Lady was washed ashore on the bathing sands, and the intelligence being communicated to the proper quarter, it was ascertained that the Gentleman had left Rams gate on the same morning in search of her.—(Kentish Gazette.) CORONERS' INQUESTS.—Yesterday an Inquisi tion was held at the Penitentiary, Millbank, be fore Mr. IllGcs, Coroner, on the body of Char lotte Moss, a convict, who died in the prison on Monday last. The particulars of the case have already been given. The Jury returned a ver dict of, " Died by the visitation of God."—There was another inquest, held before the same Co roner, at the Greencoat Boy, Tothilifields, on the body of Mr. James Brill, aged 47 years. The deceased lived in Greencoat Walk, he was in good health on Sunday, and made a hearty dinner with his' family ; he retired to rest at an early hour in the evening. Next morning groans were heard in his room by his son, who went in stantly to ascertain the cause, and found him in the last agony of death. A medical man was called in, but the deceased expired before his arrival. Verdict, " Died in a fit of apoplexy." —A third Inquest was .held by Mr. Ilicros, the same day, at the George - , George-court, Strand, on the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Child. The de ceased was the wife of Mr. Child, of Castle court, Strand ; she was about 24 years of age, had been married three years, and had three children. On Monday night she went to bed in her usual state of health, and next day her hus band found her dead lying by his side. Verdict, " Died by the visitation of God in a tit of apo , plexy." ROBBERY IN HYDE PARK.—On Sunday night, about dusk, a gentleman named Hemming, resid ing in Goodge-street, was walking alone along the dead wall in Hyde Park, when two men came up to him ; one of them pretended to be drunk, reeled against him, and the other at, that moment came up, 'and asked Mr. Hemming what he meant by striking his friend ; at the same mo ment he knocked him down, and both beat him most severely and rifled his pockets, and stole his hat, watch, &c. leaving him weltering in blood. A gentleman who witnessed the outrage, but who was afraid to offer any assistance, fol lowed them into Park-lane, where he endea voured to secure them ; but the watch not being set, and no person assisting him, he was knocked down and maltreated himself ) and the ruffians suffered to escape. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SEAMEN'S SOCIETY AND BETHEL UNION. Yesterday - evening, the `Anniversary Publk Meeting of the aboVe most excellent SOCiety, which has for its important: object the diffusion of the Holy Scriptures and religious principles among Seamen, by establishing Floating Chapels, was held at the City of London Tavern. "The great room was filled; almost to suffocation; by a most respectable assemblage of ladies and gentle-. men, and so "numerous were tl►e persons who could not obtain admission, that the Report of the Society's proceedi►igs for the last year was read in the large dining-room .below, which also was filled with persons of both sexes. Over the raised platform in the principal room the royal standard was displayed, and on each side the blue Bethel flag. with the word. " Bethel" in scribed on each, and a star and dove. Several beautiful models of naval ingenuity were exhibited in the . course of the evening. At half-past six o'clock the Right Hon. 'Lord GAMBIE►., took the Chair amidst warm applause. He was supported by several Reverend and .Naval Gen tlemen. The Noble Chairman briefly addressed the Meeting by congratulating therri on the com mencing of the Institution, and on its progress. The Report was then read .by the Secretary, and. presented a gratifying detail of the labours of this Society, which appears to have elFected great and lasting good for Seamen. Many instances; some of an affeOng nature, were read to . the Meeting in support of the utility of the Institu tion. On the Report being read, several Gen tlemen addressed the assembly. in furtherance of the Society, which appears to be _in a flourishing condition. The usual routine of business having been gape through in the selecting of officers, &c. thanks were voted to Lord Gambier, who expressed his acknowledgment's, and the Meet ing broke up. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HALL. EXT RAMIDINARY THlZVES•—Yester day John Price and William Grant, two young men of very decent appearance, were brought before C. ,Cuamn&us,. Esq. the sitting Magistrate, charged with having broken into and robbed the house of Mrs. Susannah Kahi, of No. fit, South ampton-street, Camberwell.—Mrs. Kahl stated, that she and her daughter went out at.ll o'clock on Tuesday morning, hav ing previously fastened the house. She had no servant, and in tended returning at an early hour in the evening. 'Upon their return to Caniberwell about 7 o'clock in the evening, Mrs.Kahl was struck with astonishment at seeing a light appearing and, disappearing at the windows of her house ; and as she had never authorised any person tcrtake chaage of it Under- such circum stances, she immediately imagined the worst that could happen; but instead of making a r.oise that might alarm the'thieves, as most other females would have done, she quietly went to some of her neighbours and communicated her suspicions, and promptly received their assistance. They could see no marks of volente on the doors or window shutters, nor could, they hear voices or footsteps in the house.- Mrs. Kahl's friends, unwilling tq disturb what was going forward within, to the prejudice of justice, procured a ladder, and quietly placed it at the back part of the house, reaching the window of the first floor, where seve ral of them entered without making the least noise, and upon walking down stairs, and opepingalie front parlour door, saw, to their great surprise, the two prisoners playing a game of back gammon. They were sitting together on a sofa, and had the backgammon table between them. One of them instantly.started up . and said, "we'll make no resistance," They accord?ogly sub mitted quietly. On examination it was found that the house had been ransacked from top to bottom, and some plate that had been tied up in a small bag was found on the table. In the bag were several spoons, which Mrs. Kahl-had left locked up 'n a cupboard. In different parts of the house were found to e teilsive assortment of house-breaking instruments, r'ckloelt keys, crows, &c. ; also phosphorus and matches. One or the keys which lay on the table opened the hall door, Just as if it had been made for it, from which it was presumed that the thieves had enteredat that door. Several of ,sirs. Kahl's neigh bours who had conic forward to her assistance confirmed the most important parts of her statement. —The Magistrate com plimented Mrs. Kahl very highly on the prudent manner in which she had acted for apprehending the prisoners. They were both fully committed for trial.--A young man belonging to the Post Office, who had the folly to treat two common pro stitutes in a public-house, coMplained that they had robbed him ' of a sovereign, in Counter-street, in the Borough. - The sove reign was found in the possession of one of thegirls, who did not deny that it had previously belonged to the complainant, but declared that she had received it from him as a present.- - They were both committed. _ _ THAMES POLICE.—ATTEMPT TO 'MURDER POLICE., OFFlCER.—'Tuesday evening, as Judge and t% bite, officers ' belonging to this establishinent, were passing through Broad street, Ratcliffe, they obseryed a number of Italians lurking about in a questionable manner, some of whom c. rr d bundks. On the officers approaching them they all ran oft with the ex. ception of one, whom White secured. Judge pursued the others, but unsuccessfully. White repaired with his prisoner towards the office, and had proceeded about half a mile, when the fel low drew out a large knife from under his coat sleeve, and made several thrusts at his body. White succeeded, however, in warding off the stabs, but his hands and fingers were shockingly mangled; the tops of two of his fingers on the right hand, and of one on the left, were cutoff "The prisoner was remanded for further examination. • IMARLBOROUGH-STREET.—IMPORTANT TO PAWN BROKERS; &c.—Yesterday John Lawrence ' a young- man, a carver and gilder, was brought up on a charge of having ob tainedunder false pretences, from the possession of Mr. Rot chard, an eminent artist, a valuable portrait of Napoleon Bo naparte, the painting of Reuben and his Wife, and a valuable copy of an original painting of Sir Joseph Reynolds, which-he the prisoner unlawfully pawned.—Mr. Rotchard valued the portrait of Bonaparte at 60 guineas t .Reuben and his wife 12 gui neas, and the copy of Sir Joshua Reynolds's, 81.—Mr. liarri son, pawnbroker, of Wardour-street, proved that he was in his parlour when the prisoner came to his shop, on the 10th of Sep tember, and offered the property in pledge, and he gave 11... for the, copy of, J. Reynolds's, and 11. ss. for ,Reuben and his wife.—The Nl,agistrate convicted the prisoner in the highest pe nalty, five pounds, and the value of the goods, 801. ; but Mr. Rotchard, out of mercy to the prisoner, granted hint the indul gence of paying the fine of five pounds, and .the amount for which the pictures were pledged, until he paid which he was committed. QUEEN-SQUARE.—IMPORTANT TO BUILIYEIIS;—Yester day Mr. Dui./ TIN b, a master carpenter and. builder at Chelsea, was summoned to shew cause why he refused to pay five days wages to six of his men who had been at work for the defendant in Staffordshire; they had found their own tools, and had agreed they Should be sent home free of expense. They - had come to town when their job was finished, but. they, had not received their tools for five days after, and could not work ; for this they sought to recover the sum of ss. per day each man. for the time they had been kept idle. The ;Magistrates adjudged the de fendant to pay the demand of the men. Guti.DllALL.—Yesterday Mary Williams and Annpordon, whose previous examinations have been before_the public, were brought up for a final hearing, and fully committed - to New gate for trial. Mr. Boorman, whose, attendance was expected, did not make his appearance ; he had, however, seen the lasses at the Giltspur-street Compter, and knew them directly, as the girls by whom he bad been accosted in Skinner-street, on the evening when he lost his. pocket-I)2°k ; he had Also identified the 101. note of the Rye Bank found on Miss Williams, as his property. The girls had probably seen, or heard of, the ac count in, the newspapers of their very dashing appearance, and had in consequence altered their dress to the very picture of neatness. A SMUGGLER SHOT.—A Coroner's Inquest was held at Alnwick-green, near Bognor, on Friday last, by Mr. ELms, Coroner for the Eastern di vision of this county, on the body of James Jurd, when it appeared, that on Tuesday night pre vious, a smuggling craft, with 486 tubs of foreign spirits, was chased and boarded by the Little hanipton preventive galley, when the crew of the smuggler simultaneously jumped into the seizing boat and rowed off with her. Being repeatedly hailed without effect, a discharge of musquutry followed, which wounded two men, the above fatally.

They, how ever, sent him before the Tribunal - of First Instance for ;the D'epartment of the Seine, charged with holding language in public, places' and assemblies, tending. to excite the assassina - , tion of the Royal Family. The indictment set forth, that on the 10th of February, 1821; Des jardins uttered the following expressions , to al person named Gonet, in a public house:- - " I was the accomplice of Louvel.

The Court &blared there, was sufficient proof to go to a Jury :— . lst, Tha t an the 16th of February, 1821, Desjardins, in 3 public place, outraged public morals, .by proving of the attack on the person of the.Dull;- ° of Berry := 2d, That he had uttered ekpression o , offensive against the Members of the Royal a mity, crimes provided against by Articles Ist ' Bth, and 10th of the Law of the 17th of igaF 7 1819 ; and that he should be sent for trial bef" re , the Court of .
