TliE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MOIINING PAPE December 31. ET 1U TIMES.] The effort whiclewas made in the last-Session of Parliament for the purpose of mitigating the severity of punishment " in certain cases Of for " gery, and the crimes connected therewith,'s will not be forgotten by those who pay the slightest attention to these subjects ; and may even still be attended with ,benelicial results. It will be observed, that the motion was for abating the severity in one particular class of offences only—a slats upon which there is in the psiblic mind a rooted aversion to act with the extreniest degree of rigour: so that the precise object of the motion, which was made by Sir James Mackintosh, was dexterously chosen ; and the motion itself can hardly be said to have wholly failed of success. Mr. Buxton, the Member for -Weymouth, has published his speech in this de bate : the publication cannot, perhaps, strengthen,. LF - t. May serve to perpetuate and diffuse, the ef.e. t which the speech produced at the time :.'.en it was spoken. It supplies a text- Of facts to reasoners on this important sub ect, and will also generally guide them to sound conclusions. Though the motion, as above stat to.,• had reference to only one class of offences visited with capital punishment, it is well known to be.the object of this Gentleman and others Who act with hiM to abate the rigour of our whole system of .criminal laws. There is, however; a measured propriety in the ,course they purs ue which should entitle them to confidence. They do not attempt to legislate " by the great ;" they ;take the evil, if evil it be, in the detail. They do tot administer an alterative to the Constitu tion; they only apply a specific remedy to a specific wound. The public—the mob, if more supercilious readers will so entitle them—are in variably sincere, though they sometimes want dis crimination; and they really at present seem to class all public executions under the head of lega lized murders,—such is the general conviction that capital punishments are too lavishly inflicted in this country ; and condemned men seem rather to be viewed as the martyrs to a bad system, than as the victims of insulted justice. Now, if-those gentlemen who wish to remedy so great an evil, simply proceeded to the repeal of the existing laws, without proposing to substitute any others! in their stead, their projects might justly be viewed with affright; .but whereas in all cases they propose measures severely penal, _though short of death,—in some, a mere recurrence to those punishments which the wisdom of our an cestors had thought sufficiently severe to correct any specified of is certain that the honest subject would never be left in an unpro tected state ; and the experiment of an humane instead of a cruel system of penal laws might be made without-danger. [NEW TIMES.] Our last observ . iitions on the reported assass nation -of the Grand Seignior appear to have been regarded as conclusive. That report was on Sa turday entirely discredited; and indeed a rumour of an opposite character obtained belief. Ad- *vices were said to have been received, that Rus sia ;:ad agreed to such a modification of her • ult-jmatuni as would render its acceptance by t,he 'Torte highly probable. Whatever ground there may have been for this last statement, certain it is that the funds decidedly improved. Consols for the opening left off at 774, with every appearance of a further improvement. The great cause of alarm on the Stock Exchange in the early part of last week was the sudden fall in the French funds. This was supposed to in dicate the certain approach of hostilities, and to be strongly confirmatory of the sanguinary scenes said to have taken place at Constantinople ;. but it is now proved to have originated in a totally different circumstance, the failure of one of the most eminent Stock-brokers in Paris, who had purchased, on speculation, near a million and a quarter of renfes, which it became necessary to bring at once into the market, for sale, to make up his differences, So sudden an excess of the supply, over the demand, of course depressed the price: and the effect was increased (as is customary both in .France and England.on such occasions) by exaggerated rumours of foreign . convulsions.— Nothing has yet appeared in the conductor the new French Ministry to indicate a hostile policy, still ftss a direction of tharhobtility against England. -t—They are no doubt pledged to give weight and efficiency to the interference of France in the *gen:ral affairs of Europe, and especially in those which relate to Greece ; but this object may he attained by measures entirely in unison with the sr-stem of our own Cabinet. It is not at all es. senti4l the_injerests of this country, that the French Monarchy, acting honestly and honourably in support of the balance of power, and the rights of humanity, should be curtailed of one jot of o:at influence n hick it may fairly claim. On the contrary, by uniting the voice of France to that of England, terms may be' obtained from other powers, which either of those two Governments alone would in.vain demand ; and thus the gene ral peace and good order of society may be pro moted by means alike redounding to the honour of both Nations. [MORNING HERALD.] - We had .yesterday. no Paris Papers. Those of . Wednesday and Thursday, which were due, had not arrived up to a late hour last night. This is the more to be regretted, from the critical state - of affairs in Spain and in the East of Europe. It is probable that the next arrivals from the former' kingdom will remove the uncertainty that pre 'veils respecting its internal repose and the stabi . lity of the Constitutional Government. As to the question of war or peace between Turkey and Russia, nothing can be inferred from the Ger man Papers. Their date is anterior to that :La the rumoured insurrection and massacre Constantinople, of which we may add, there are - strong- reasons for doubting the truth. The-statement of the difficulty of "com munication between the Porte aud tire Re rency of Algiers, bears testimony to the number ind activity of the Greek cruizers—rand it ap wars that the Dey is by no means disposed to xpose his Navy to a conflict with them, a 'though le gives a reluctant and imperfect obedience to he Finnan issued to him from Constantinople. [BRITISH PRESS.] A Hamburgh Mail arrived yesterday with pa pers to the 21st. The report of the Revolution in Constantinople had reached Hamburgh in letters from Vienna of the 12th of this month, with the painful addition that all the Christians in Pera were assassinated, and that this, with other quarters of the capital, were destroyed by fire. There is a letter from Algiers of the 22d of September, which states, that the Creeks had so effectually interrupted the com munication between the Hellespont and the coasts of Barbary, that the Porte was unable to communicate to the'Regencies its• command re quiring them to supply their naval forces for the defence and support of the Moslem Empire, and that in this serious emergency an English frigate condescended to be the bearer of the Imperial Fir man. 'We hope that this is not true ; we should lament to see the English flag prostituted to so vile a purpose. The Greeks, struggling for freedom against their barbarous oppressors, ought not at least to find us enemies, especially as our Government affects to pursue the principle of neutrality. NORNING CHRONICL E .] Nothing can more fully confirm the series of remarks on Spain, which we have published within the last two weeks, than the second Re- - port of the Committee of the Cortes on the late Message of "the King; a subject to which we had not room to advert on Saturday, when we pub lished the details. The Report distinctly an nounces, that " conspiracies existed of various descriptions against the Constitutional system— parties of factious individuals, appearing, as it were, simultaneously on different points of the Monarchy—the public spirit agitated with. jea lousies and fears—the genius of discord re covered all its force in August last, agitat ed the passions, sowed distrust, and pointed to the dreadful picture of civil war." Such does the . Committee declare is the state of things, and " such the terrible fruit of the schemes by which their enemies, domestic as well as foreign, were endeavouring to plUnge them into the horrors of the most dreadful anar chy."—We did not hesitate to declare, that, the grand focus of all these schemes was in France, and if we refrained from mentioning the chief agents by whom they were carried on in Bayonne, Bordeaux, and Paris, or the particular house and street in the latter city, where the chief delibe rations were held, and whence the greatest part of the disorganizing plans issued, it was because these were minor circumstances ; the existence of- the plots, and the encourage ment they met with from the French police, was the chief object we then had in view. To any one who, for the last threemonths, has atten tively read the French Papers, and noticed the ridiculous, contradictory and insidious letters and remarks published in them daily on the fairs of Spain, these facts could not have been hidden ; riot could he be insensible of the secret object for which they' were put forth. The sen timents and wishes of the ex-inquisitorS, and all the band of serviles who had fled from their country, not in consequ e nce of any act or decree of the new government ; but because they could no longer endure the taunts of their countrymen, and the sight of a growing prosperity, they thought it their interest to oppose, were always to be seen, as if reflected by a mirror, in the French Papers, intended to be thence conveyed to the rest of Europe, as a true picture, and-foi purposes it makes one shudder to think of. Fortunately, the Patriots of Spain, as well as the . enlightened part of the European community, have not been deceived by these false colours held out to them. All have . Veen put on their guard, and When known to their full extent, these " plots and conspiracies " cannot fail to . • bring down deserved contempt on those Who projected and abetted them. [MORNING POST.] The Paper ;hick lately blazoned forth the atrocities said to have been committed by the Greeks, after the capture of Tripolizza, and totally forgot to mention the enormous provocations, which would have explained, though we admit they could never justify, such atrocities, if they were real, published on Saturday last a second list of horrors, which, .however, will na answer the purpose for which they are brought forward, as they are of a nature to set even childish credulity at defiance. The Austrian, and even we believe the Turkish acH counts of the capture of Tripolizza, have long since been laid before the public, and would cer ,tainly "throW no softening veil over any enorrni-' ties perpetrated on the part of the Greeks. Yet, .although they mention that considerable slaughter took phice.at the storming of that town, particu larly when the Greeks - found that the three hun dred hostages and Bishops, seized upon by the Governor, had been murdered in cold blood, they describe none of the barbarities on Which the nameless correspondent of our contemporary seems delighted to expatiate. When he next writes, however, we would advise him to give his statements in a more credible shape than the following :—" Some of them" (part of the Turkish garrison of Navarino, whom the letter represents as left on a barren rock to starve) " in the hope of escaping death,- fed on the flesh of their inanimate companions : others, imagining to make their escape , . took tzzo or three hated ' corpses, tied theM together, and putting them, into the sea, placed themselves upon them under an idea that the currents. and winds might waft them to the Illorea. They had scarcely set foot on land when they were mur dered by the Greeks,and left on the beach with out burial."—Why such extraordinary means should be resorted to hi order to render the cause of the Greeks odious, would not have been easily understood, had not, our Cotemporary kindly supplied .us with an explanation, and rather tmcautiously revealed the secret of this mighty Hostility.—A meeting Las been announced to raise a Subscription in favour of the Greeks, and the people of . England, who so nobly sub-' scribed for the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the litssians, the Germans, and every nation which took up arms during the late war against the despotism of a Christian Power, are to be prevented from sending their mite to rescue a brave Christiah race from the chains and the dag gers of barbarous Infidels ! " The true question is," says our Cotemporary, referring to the exag gerated tf not totally unfounded statements above " Whether, with these facts before us, the people of this country should be called upon to subscribe for the purpose of putting arms into hands pre pared to make such use of them ?" IN UNDATIONS, &c. The Bath York House mail coach lost four horses on Wed nesday night. All the coaches on the Western roads have been stopped ; in many places the waters were eight feet deep. The Chertsey coaches have been.obliged to return: All the low grounds resemble a sea, the undulations, from the effect of wind, are quite surprising. Temple House, at Great Marlow, the seat of Mr. Owen Williams, is completely insulated ; visitors were conveyed to Bisham-abbey, the seat a Mr. Van. sittart, from thence, by boats, on 'Wednesday. The Thames fill nine inches yesterday at Walton, in conse_ quence of the water having burst its banks and overflowed the country. Navigators left town on Thursday, for Essex, to cut drains to carry off the waters. Coaches returned yesterday to Piccadilly, and unloaded pas sengers, and luggage. In Oxfordshire and Worcestershire, boats are passing orer hedges. One of the northern coachmen said, " nothing could equal the roaring of the torrents on Thurs day night." The Southampton and Exeter coaches were obliged to return on Thußday night. Another coach to Bath :—Two horses were drowned, and the third swam down the current at Maidenhead, and has not since been heard of. The current through Maidenhead town, on Thursday night, was four feet six inches in depth. The Marlow coach went round by Boston instead of going through Henley. The roads near town are in the most dreadful state : on the Lea-bridge road foot passengers are obliged to be conveyed over the wooden bridge, on the road, by a cart,. owing to the over flowing.of the marshes. On Friday night, the tide at London bridge rose higher than was ever remembered. At a quarter past five it completely covered the terrace frontmg Fishmongers' Hall, and ran with the greatest violence into the cellars of that well-known place called The Shadei ' out of which the company made a precipitate retreat. Several waggons, loaded for the morning, belonging to Messrs. Thompson, coal-merchants, were up to the axletrees in water : the cellars of Messrs. Keaton and Thomas, wine and porter merchants, were several feet deep in water: Alderman Garratt's new residence shared the same fate ; the tide rose to the top steps of the Old Crane stairs. Below bridge the scene of mischief is dreadful. At high water on Saturday it was lower by one foot, but much damage has been done.. The fall at 10 o'clock at London-bridge was nine feet. WEST atzrasTn —(Further Particulars.)—The whole of Friday night (the inhabitants of the lower part of Westminster, including Vincent-square, and alltlie sut rounding neighbourhood, were so alarmed that they did not retire to rest. It was true that the inundation appeared towards nine o'clock to be rapidly de clining, but new apprehensions were entertained for the conse quences of the morning tide, whichit was known would be at flood between five and six o'clock, add, these apprehensions were in • some measure realized, although not to the mischievous extent which had beeh anticipated. Soon after four o'clock on Satur day morning, the tide again rose level with the banks of the river, and those places where a breach had been previously made it once more burst over with irresistible violence. The rrecau dons which had been taken, however, greatly diminisned the effects which would have otherwise followed. At day-break the whole extent of country from Chelsea to the banks of the Thames, ,and from thence again to Westminster; was Covered. In many instances the water reached to the first floors. The walls of gardens and many enclosed places were levelled with the ground, as well as an immense number of out-buildings, which had been but slightly constructed. — During the night, the cries of a man, evidently in distress, were heard in the direction of the withy-beds, beyond the Wil low-walk ; but no assistance could be rendered him and as his screams were subsequently silenced, it is feared he perished. Boats continued 'to ply the whole night, if possible to save the property . which was set afloat ; but a 'great quantity of timber was carried into the stream and lost, at least to the real owners. The destruction of poultry, pigs, and other domestic animals, was also very ;treat, as from the darkness of the night it was impossible to relieve them. The scene of devastation imme diately contiguous to Vauxhall-bridge, on-the Penitentiary side, was truly distressing. The water had there broken in with im mense force, and, from the dilapidated state of the buildings, the inhabitants expected every 'moment to be crushed by their fall. The whole of Saturday , morning the poor people were engaged in removing their goods,%nd escaping from the immi nent danger by which they were threatened. A great number of men were employed on the banks in repairing the breaches which had been made, with a view of stopping further mischief ; but we fear, unless the heavy rains by which we continue to be visited abate, their labour will be in vain. On the Lambeth and Vauxhall side of the river the effects of the flood were equally perceptible ; all the houses in low situations were inundated, and much damage was necessarily sustained. In several places the progress of foot passengers was altogether stopped, raid the inhabitants could only reach their houses in carts, or by taking very circuitous routes. Similar observations may be made with respect to almost all the villages around the metro polis which happen not to be in an elevated situation ; as, from the state of the river, the currents coming from the high lands have been thrown back upon their sourciFs, and the mischiefs thereby occasioned are almost incalculable. - [Extract of a Letter from Portsmouth, dated Dec. 28.] " The seafaring People here all agree. in stating that they never knew so dreadful a day as this has been. The lower part of the Ryde Pier is washed away ; one house at Ityde en tirely thrown down by the wind and tide, and the backs of several others. The lower part of the town is completely under water.—South Sea Common is inundated, and the com munication with the Castle at present cut off, so that they were unable to send the daily, supply of provisions to the Garrison there." (From, the" ampshire Telegrapli7 of Saturday—Portarncruth ,• P&per.) " Yesterday we experienced the most tremendous gale of wind from the S.S.E. that has occurred for many years; the sea ran to an extraordinary height, but the ships of war and numerous wind-bound merchantmen sustained no injury ' • the former all brought their anchors a-head, and the Cameleon, Capt. 3lingay, was obliged to slip to save her rope cable,from chaff ing, and let g o her sheet anchor, which fortunately brought her up, as at the time the sea was making such breaches over her that it was with difficulty her decks were kept clear, though her hatches were on, and every precautionary measure, was resorted to for safety. The sea burst its bounds between Southsea Castle and Lump's Fort, and inundated all the low land there, up to Marmon-place and Marine view, the houses in which latter place sustained much injury. The tide rose to a considerable' height in the harbour—flooded the lower parts of the houses on the Point, and burst through all the principal sewers of the town. Farlington Marshes were completely overflown, and much damage was done to The works of the Portsmouth Canal, by the falling in of its banks. Providentially there were no lives lost at the port ; but the injury done to the defences of the garrison, as well as to private property, on all the low lands along the shores ,of the Harbour, is very Considerable. Such a succession of se vere gales of wind, and heavy falls of rain, as we have had this month, is not remembered. We regret to hear, by the arrival of a French fishing-boat, that there are a number of wrecks on the opposite French shore, of Vessels both of this country and France, and that many lives have been lost. There are upwards of 20 French boats here, waiting fbr supplies of herrings, but there is no possibility of their being obtained, as our fishermen generally do not like to venture out in such dangerous squally weather. It is with much pain we hear that several boats, which were tempted by a waiting market, and the appearance of a few hours more moderate weather, to go out on the tven ing of the 20th instant, are missing, and that the bodies of two of the men (Wm. Andersen and John Bolton), were yesterday picked up in Langston, harbour. It came on to blow a hurri cane at 10 p. m. that night, from the S.S. W. and which pro bably drove the boats out to sea." • 'COUNTRY MARIMPS ANDFAI Rs, IWHING THE LAST 14' EEl.i. LF.IOESTER. Dec. 22.
