THE LO.NDON JCUA.NA2,S. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING P.APERS December 4. [MORNING POST.I It is not a little humiliating to the enlightened and Christian Princes of Europe, that the only Power that has yet taken up arms to assist the struggles of a Christian people for emancipation from the most cruel and intolerable slavery, should be an Asiatic, despotic, and Mahometan State. Neither is it an uninteresting phenome non in the history of mankind, that the descend ants of the ancient invaders of Greece, should be the first allies of the descendants of the ancient Greeks, in the great cause of national inde pendence. The important and gratifying fact, however, is no longer doubtful. Even those who had hitherto scouted the idea of war as vi sionary, have been compelled to change their language. " The situation of affairs in the East of Europe,',' say they, " has assumed a very dif ferent aspect from what we expected. Persia, according to private letters, has not only de clared war against Turkey, but has actually corn nrenced hostilities in Asia against the Turks.— Th• fact is stated positively, and it is inferred that this would not have been done without some previous concert or communication with Russia, and that Russia will put her armies in motion against Turkey as soon as military operations can be undertaken from the banks of the Pruth."— In addition to this testimony, the more valuable as it proceeds from a quarter hitherto inimical to any military interference in behalf of the, Greeks, e. have to state the arrival of advices from Con stantinople to the 26th of October, which com municate the important fact that the Turkish Government had, in self-defence, declared war against Persia, and that several engagements had been fought between the two armies, particu larly in the neighbourhood of Bagdad and Er- Yerum. Various were the rumours afloat in the Turkish capital respecting this sudden attack on the part of a Mahometan Power. But as it was known that Persia was not sufficiently strong to contend single-handed with Turkey, it was gene rally believed that she had been induced to take that step by the Emperor Alexander, and that she would be supported by his armies. This was also considered to be the result of the oppo ition made by the Governments of Europe to the execution of his plans in favour of the Greeks. Not being allowed to interfere in person, he would not abandon them to their fate, but procured them an Ally made strong by his friendship, and whom he could at all times render secretly capable of fulfilling his designs. FMORNING CHRONICLE.] The squabbles for place among Ministers and their adherents are not yet finally arranged. It is said, however, with confidence, that Mr. Peel succeeds Lord Sidmouth, who retires altogether, and that the Duke of Montrose is to be the Chamberlain. These discussions, however inte resting to the parties concerned, should not be permitted to occupy any attention (instead of being the only object of Administration for the last six months), at a moment when the distress of the nation is greater than at any period of our, history. Putting the horrible state of Ireland out of view—the sufferings in the English Coun ties exceed all powers of description. The in habitants of the Metropolis have no conception of the extent of misery endured in the country. The Farmers in the Grazing ,Districts have hitherto formed an exception in the general ruin,but the pre sen t prices of theMeatMarket have brought thern,as w 11 as all other occupiers of land, to the brink of destruction. All landed transactions are paral ysed —no Farms let or sell—none but the finest samples of Corn find purchasers, and Cattle are disposed of (if got rid of at all) at half their cost. In truth, the Nation is reaping, in every part, the wretched fruits of the Pitt system ; and this is the moment that his followers have selected to employ such energies as they possess, in counter acting each other's influence in the Cabinet.— Thus, one part of it is anxious to have the abi lities of Mr. Canning, to support their own fee bleness, while another part dread his admission into office, apprehending that it would lead to their perpetual exclusion from the Premiership, which they now fancy may be within their grasp. In the meantime, the Nation looks with sovereign contempt upon these intrigues and intriguers. [BRITISII PRESS ] The Marquis Wellesley is, we believe, the -first native of Ireland who has been appointed to -preside immediately over the local government of -his country. The Marquis is known to be an advocate of what is familiarly, though perhaps incorrectly, called " Catholic emancipation," and this circumstance will contribute considerably, in-dependent of- many other circumstances, to shed around his government a large share of popu larity, which may be moulded to the most salu tary purposes—lle. will alsa i give to Ireland an ad vantage which she has not often enjoyed—that of a long experience in the habits of government. The talents of the Marquis Wellesley are of the highest 'character, and if they have not been sufficiently .*ppreciated at home, it is because they have not -Iwn sufficiently exercised ; but those who had an. opportunity of viewing them in their inde pendent and comparatively unrestricted opera tion in India, saw that they were framed for pro moting the happiness of mankind, no less from their transcendent brilliancy, than from the spi: rit with which they were taught to pursue the ; ;great purpose and end of government. [NEW TIMES A considerable sensation was ,yesterday pro, duced hy'the arrival of an Express from Paris, with the Moniteur, of Saturday, containing .a . statement of the Address of the Cham. -ber of Deputies, and the King's answer. In the course of the Address, the Deputies say, " We congratulate you, Sire, upon your con . tinued .amicable .relations with Foreign Powers, in the just confidence that a Peace so pre cious has not been purchased by-sacrifices in ' comptible with the honour of the Nation, and the dignity of your Crown." To this part of the Address the King replied, " In exile and perse cution I supported my rights, the honour of my rare, and that of the French name. On the Throne surrounded by my people, I feel indig nant at the bare supposition that I can ever sacri fice the honour of the nation and the dignity of my Crown."—lt is conjectured that this proceed ing must be followed by a dissolution of the Chamber; but i❑ our opinion this step would be a most desperate one. Either at the new elections the Ministerimust throw themselves into the arms of the Revolutionists, and go even beyond the auda cious intrigues of Decaze in 1816 and 1817; either they must consent to have Regicides returned as Members of the Chamber—or they must receive back again the Royalists, whom they had dis missed. In the iirst case they would irrevocably destroy the Bourbon Monarchy ; in the second case they would annihilate their own pow er.— With the imperfect information, which we at present possess, we cannot pretend to deliver any decided opinion, either on the origin or probable result of this disagreement between the King and the Chamber. Upon the face merely of the Address and Answer, it would appear that the King had acted most inconsistently. lie makes, use of the language of an absolute So vereign, in answer to a constitutional remonstrance against the acts of his Ministers. This may look at first sight like energy; but energetic measures by a Monarch in the situation of Louis XVIII. would be better directed against any other body of men than the Chamber of Deputies. The Ministers, it is , said, immediately after the King's answer, tendered their resignation, which his Majesty would not receive. Although we are thus inclined to think ill of the King's judg ment, or rather of that of the Ministers who'ad vised so intemperate an answer, yet we very much doubt the wisdom of theconduct pursued by. the Chamber, on this occasion. The majority must have determined to make"an attack on the Minis ters; for in no other light can the passage first quoted be understood. This passage is also followed by one in which they say, " Let reli gion, let the interests of subjects, weigh fully in the scale of ,a generous policy"—which appears to us very much like saying that France should take the part of the Greeks ; and coupling this with the insinuation that the Ministers have made sacrifices incompatible with the, honour of the nation, it would seem that the 'Chamber meant to make it matter of serious accusation against the Ministers that they had not formed an alliance with Russia to drive the Turks out of Europe !—Whatever effect may ultimately be pro duced on the foreign policy of France, we do not conceive that it can seriously injure this country. We are certainly quite as well pre pared for war as any country in Europe : and at the same time we have it more completely in our power to look on without taking any part in the contest until our interference becomes absolutely necessary. [MORNING HERALD. If the Government of Louis XVIII. and the character of the existing Ministers be judged by the actual situation of France, which is one of the fairest tests,•the result should certainly be a judgment favourable to both. The expos 4 of the Minister of Finance, from which it appears that the Revenue exceeds the expenditure —not by a large amount, it is true, but by a real excess, exist ing in fact,as well as calculation, should be matter of greatest satisfaction to the French Deputies as well as to the nation. It is really matter of surprise, that after the drain upon the re sources of France, during the two years imme diately preceding the first abdication of Buona parte—the shock which the country received in 1815—the occupation of her territory by foreign armies for a considerable period, and the pay- 1 ment of heavy contributions to indemnify the rest of Europe for having subdued her ;—it is, we say, matter of wonder that in a few years France should have so completely recovered herself, and gained a position which must be called prosper ous and independent. If this be a mere party struggle for the administration of public affairs, as we suspect it is, there is more of party spirit than public spirit in the Chamber of Depu ties. There are many branches of interior ad ministration, embracing the political rights or commercial interests of that kingdom, which should in preference occupy its attention. The liberty of the Press, for instance, which is almost non-existent—entirely so, as respects the pub lic Journals, would have been a subject much more deserving the notice of the Chamber in its Address to the Throne. • • [THE TIMES.] We yesterday received Madrid Papers to the 20th ultimo, which, though they supply no intelligence of a later date than the accounts from Spain in the French Journals, are useful, as they enable us to discover the basis, and I to correct the exaggerations of those accounts. — It would appear from them, that though there have been no positive disturbances of any im portance in the capital or provinces, the public mind, over a great part of the kingdom, is in a feverish and restless state, arising from dissatis faction with the character and measures of the Ministry. In the capital a petition for their dis missal has been presented from the Citizens to the King, by the hands of Qdiroga, the restorer of the Constitution and the right of presenting such petitions. From Cadiz strong remonstrances have been sent against their continuance in office, and menaces of disobedience eventually held out to the authority of a Government of which they should be allowed to remain the organs. Seville has joined in the remonstrance, and applauded the conditional threat of rebellion. Murcia, Valencia, Corunna, and other towns and pro vinces, have expressed themselves equally hos tile to the Members of the present Adminis tration. The striking circumstance about these Petitions is, that they are adopted after an appeal to the people, and in public meet ings, at which the chief authorities of the city or province attend. In Murcia, the Political Chief of the province not only proposed the meeting, but invited the Judges of the higher tribunal, and all the authorities, to be present for the purpose of agreeinff to a petition tc soliciting Vrs Majesty for a remedy to the evils that threaten the heroic Spanish nation." The Judges declined the invitation to an assembly which they thought forbidden by the provisions of a law passed in last Session. The citizens, in their petition, ex press their indignation at those who accuse them of entertaining republican sentiments, and declare that they are only dissatisfied with the mode in which the existing government is administered — with the proscription of Riego, and their other best Patriots—with the partiality or corruption of a portion of the Magistracy, selected from among the supporters of the old despotism ; and with the appointment of military and civil functiona ries, whose object is not to maintain, but to un dermine the Constitution. To these causes of ex citement; connected with the composition of the Ministry, may be added those arising from the state of the finances, and the distresses of some classes of the community. In Ceuta, the garri son, as it was receiving no pay, refused to do any duty and in a town in Navarre, the popu lace, no doubt urged by the monks or priests, whose incomes bad been curtailed, attacked the soldiers whom they supposed instrumental ,in bringing about the change. Every town,l too, has its political Tertulla, or club, which be comes the organ for expressing or creating dis content, and is esteemed patriotic in proportion to its. severity in censuring the measures of Go vernment. It is to be hoped, however, that this agitation, and the slight distuebances which we have mentioned, are merely temporary—that they affect, only the surface of society,-L—and that they'will ultimately not shake the confidence of the people in the principles of freedom and of constitutional monarchy. The best proof of the stability.of constitutional rights in Spain is to be found in the calmness with which the Cortes pro ceed in their duties, amid the little agitations which afford to their enemies such happy prog nostics of misfortune and confusion. - - NAVIGATION ACT. _ A BILL - To explain and amend the several Acts for the encouraging and increasing of Shiyping and Navigation, and to regulate the Importation of Goods and Merchandize into Great Britain, so far as relates to the Countries from whence, and the Ships hi which, such Importatton shall be made.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Drc. 1. John Frederick Schrreder, who described himself as having been formerly Captain in the German Legion, Aide-de-Camp to General Oudinot, and now 'a general commission agent dealer in horses, &c., Caine up to be discharged under the act. It appeared that this gentleman had been, only a few years back, discharged, and now again appeared, alleging in his schedule (as the act required) that he had contracted further debts by misfortune only. The insolventbeing examined, stated, that he had kept stables in Temple-lane, and in Chamomile street, and had been in the habit of selling horses at various times. These horses were the property of a Mr. Pyewell, and he had invariably represented them to be' his own. In this way he had sold horses at different times to Captain Rydout, Mr. Heath, and Mr. Tarn. To the latter gentleman he stated, that he was a Captain in the German Legion, and was about to go abroad, and wished to sell 'three of . his stud before his departure. For one of these horses 70 guineas was to be given ; for another, 501. ; and another 451. The horses were all warranted, and were represented by the insolvent to be excel lent in every particular for hunting, riding on the road, or for driving : but it unfortunately turned out, that in every one of these warranted horses there was some defect, which at the time of sale was contrived to be concealed. When the hors:: was at tempted to be returned, no Captain Schrader was to be found ; or, if found, no money was forthcoming. It was proved that, in an action brought against the insolvent for the recovery of these debts, he had, by sham pleas, &c., run up the costs to an excessive amount. The Collin', without hesitation, dismissed the petition, under the 43d section of the Act ; and advised all parties who wished a second time to be discharged, not to apply unless they could prove a case of absolute misfortune.
