THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE 'MORNING PAPERS, August 21, [MORNING- POST.] We Expressed our apprehension some days since, that the scandal of the Oldham inquest would be renewed in. this metropolis. We little thought however, that it could be surpassed. IVe did not irnagiue that it would be carried to .he length it has been, or that if the attempt were made, it would succeed as it has done. We . could not really believe, that the man whO is always speaking about rights and liberties, should unblushingly set himself up above all :rights, and should . endeavor to lord it over an .1n dependent COurt, with all the audaciousobsti nacy of usurpation and despotism. Of this, how ever, the proceedings at the Inquest held on Richard Honey offer too many proofs, to allow us to remain any longer incredulous,. We find we had not done justice to the enterprising spirit of the worthy Sheriff. It transcends all that we had conceived; and though others might say that in its progress it is apt to lose sight of such. ceasmon placed virtues as modesty and truth, we only admire it the more as it chews a daring lof tiness of character, unaccompanied by any of the usual weaknesses of humanity. A brilliant dis play of this particular excellence in the worthy composition, took place yesterday with ::abounded effect, as it will be seen by our Re port. Filled with very heroic indignation at some supposed ill treatment of the witnesses who were, and of the Jury who were not, to inspect the Horse Guards in their Barracks, Mr. Waith rnaa suddenly and loudly declared that the den duct of the Military was in pursuance of a deep laid scheme to defraud justice of its due —that the Jury were themselves repulsed from the Barracks in order to deprive their witnesses of the benefit of being countenanced by them, and that every means of intimidation had been practised against them. The witnesses were de scribed as being in a state of actual imprisonment mzva dungeon under ground, 'and'suffering from - want of fresh air and room to move about, at the same time that they were not allowed to return, and were subjected to the scrutiny of a Board of Officers, assisted by Police Magistrates and Bow street Runners. The Jury caught the sklderman's flame, and rose in wrath at this picture of the defiance offered to their authority and the suffer ings inflicted on their witnesses, which seemed too horrible for contemplation !—Now all this was very grand, and almost as close to the sublime as we are told the sublime is to the Ridiculous. But what were the real facts of the tans. ? Simply these, as they came out almost immediately after in evidence. The witnesses, as they were admitted within the walls of the barracks, were placed together in the only unoc cupied part—the kitchen, we believe. As the troops were not paraded so early as was expect ed and originally intended, the witnesses were of course not permitted to wander about for the; purpose of observing the military, but the room they were in was airy and spacious, and they were also permitted to walk •in the Riding -School of the Regiment. So far from being con fined to the barracks, two or three came from thence to the Jury without obstruction, and one complained of being abruptly turned out. No examination whatever took place on the part of the Board of Officers, as stated, and it was subsequently admitted by most of the witnesses that they were treated with the utrrost politeness and attention by the sol diers and the Magistrates. The propriety of the line of conduct followed on this occasion is obvious; for had the witnesses, instead of being kept in one place together, been allowed -to per-. ambulate the Barracks in parties, what could have been easier for them than to fix on particular individuals, and agree to point them out as the persons who had fired ? A new conspiracy might thus have been formed which it would have been impossible to defeat, and which could only be of prevented by the course adopted. This was no doubt felt by those who raised the loudest _ . outcry ; but the conviction only served to increase their disappointment and their fury. Hence the Coroner was grossly reproached with want of ex- ertion to protect the witnesses, and every insiou- ation, however base, and every charge, however groundless, were made against the honour of the cnkitary. But these fall back on the authors, arid the officers of the regiunent, as well as the persons in authority as the occasiotr, are corn pintely exonerated. It will be seen that the witnesses vary much in their attempts to identify. Out of all the witnesses only one, and that a =ere boy, could feel himself competent to swear to the idemtity of the person who shot the de- cess.ed, Richard Honey. We understand that many perons were axed upon who were many distant from London ou the day of the P.lnoral ['ME TIMM] . The present visit of the King to Ireland is an event which, from whatever cause it may have originated, cannot in that country be soon for gotten, George I V. is, Indeed, the first British MonsrCh who has ever set foot upon the island but in arms—the first, with the exception . of -Tames If., who did not Land to make war upon the Irish nation, and whose march was not corn menmrated (here James is - no exception) by . fa mine and devastation. The entrance, accord ingly, of King George into his Irish capital, has exhibited, on one side,. all the gloss of a first gift, and on the other all the grace of infant gra titude. It well characterizes the habitual policy of the English Government towards the peOple. of Ir-l;nd, that they are in ecstacies with the reign-' ing Sovereign, because he does not go to burn and destroy them. en the decency and - good. taste of such a spectacle, at such a time, we have' already rather touched, than dwelt invidiously. Let us now dismiss that part of the subject with • a supposition to which our Christian charity prompts us, that Ireland was so sunk in gloom— so fraught with misery—so broken in heart—as to feel that the single gleam of sunshine within it reach, was a sacrifice far too precious to be gifizrded to the griefs of England, or to the claims of general human - ity. The Irish take pride in the Teception they ]lave given their Sovereign ; and 'iciyalty, it is certain, may in some instances be at once founded in reason, and crricd to enthusiasm, with great honour to the breasts which indulge it. frhls, we trust, will hereafter he fixed in the rerneArance of the people of Ireland, as one of the occasions on which the display of national attachment to a Monarch was no less just than generous; and that his Ma jesty will, at 'length, effect for that much-injured and ill-governed people, all that we do most sin cerely believe his own heart now impels him to desire for their benefit, and thus prove to them that they have ' 4 loved. him wisely—not too well." The above is ) no doubt, intended as the ANENDE 11/YITORABLE for the 'attacks which the same Paper has made on the People of Ireland ; but it is very clumsily done, and the Irish can be little gratified by such an insult to their good sense andloyalty as to hear it said that they receive their Sovereign with enthusiasm, only " because he does NOT go to Vim and destroy th6n !" [ol 0 ItNING CHRONrCLE.] We have carefully abstained from making ob servations upon the proceedings of the Coroner's Inquests on the bodies of the two unfortunate men who were shOt by the military near am ber:and-gate, much less should we attempt to dictate to the Coroner or the Jury as to the course they should take, believing, as we do, that such a course would have been subversive of the principles of justice —not so, however, with the Ministerial writers, they have been quite furiouS,and - one of them in particular has ever since 'be6n raving and loaniing at the mouth. He has conjured up conspiracies and treasons, and told the Coroner and the Inquest not only what they 'ought to do, but .has impugned their con duct for what they have done. They have railed against Mr. Waithman, forsooth, because, when he found the unhappy relatives of the deCeased both ignorant and destitute of the means of inquiry, and they requested him to put such questions; and act for them as he might deem necessary, he complied with their request. What Iv'ould'every man of feeling have said, had Mr. WaithrOan turned round upon them- in the moment of agony and distress, while the brother was supporting his fainting sister, and said,-- " No, employ Counsel and Solicitors ?" But does Mr. Waitlunan perform this friendly office better than lawyers ? It is a high compliment to him if he does. DoeS he perform it worse ? then the retainers of Ministers have no reason to complain. But after they have formed out of their own brain, l riots, conspiracies and treasons, they say the Sheriff is the. conservator of the ' public peace. He should have brought the posse comitatus ; and he is criminal, and under their heavy denunciation. But did Lord Bathurst require the aid of the Sheriffs ? Did not the Sheriff write to Lord Liverpool, as Sheriff of the County, to be informed as to the route that was to be taken ? Did Lord Liverpool tell him when and how the remains of her Majesty were to be removed ?* His Lordship did, to be sure, con descend to say that they were to be conveyed by the New-road from Hammersmith to Romford. But who ever. before heard of such a. new road ? When Mr. Waithman was in the procession, had he received any instroctibns ? Did he not find the whole under military controul, and that the sti pendiary Magistrate Ministers had appointed for the occasion was absolutely powerless? And when he foresaw the mischiefs. likely to accrue. and endeavoured to prevent them, he had no control over the military, and his authority was set aside, and the blood of the people copse= quently shed. • Lord LIVERPOOL, in answer to Mr. WAITIIMAN'S ap plication to know the intended course of the Funeral Proces sion, as we before observed, was referred to the Chamberlain's Office, where he might have obtained full information. Did he apply. there or not ?—lf he did he ought to have promulgated the information. That the • information wan promulgated is evident from the digging of trenches, placing of waggons , carts, &c. &C. to impede its prescribed course. The mob who made those obstacles must, therefore, have been employed for the purpose, and were doubtless well paid for their labour.— $y whom were they DIRECTED and REWARDED ? [MOH NINO ITERAL D.] The accounts from the Continent are just such as to keep public curiosity in a state of unsatis fied excitement. The Paris Papers of Saturday, whiCh reached us yesterday, leave the question of peace "or war just where it stood before. It is true, an article from Warsaw states the preva lence of a rumour, that an affair of outposts had already taken place on the Pruth, a river which separates . the Turks and Russians ; but this we suspect is merely an echo of a report which reached us several days since, direct from Frank fort, and hag now travelled by the circuitous route of Warsaw. The Emperor Alexander has, it is' ,related, sent to the Great Powers a circular note, explanatory of his views respecting the Greeks and l'urkt; ; and it is naturally to be expected that he would not willingly plunge into a war against the will of his Allies. Bat he hasao armed force on foot in a moment of peace, which gives an alarming pre ponderance to his side in negociation. lle has, moreover, the co,operation of Austria. It is one of the most singular circumstances, in the treaties which followed the French war, that no restric tion was placed upon Russia as to the military force which she. should maintain--nor does the increase of the Russian force by new levies, without any ostensible object, appear to have given rise to any diplomatic remoustrance, not withstanding the impression produced by those levies throughout Europe. This was the great security of peace under former treaties. Any new movements in the military or naval strength of France, under Louis X 1 V., was observ e d w ith jealous vigilance. The same course was pursued towards Spain, when that kingdom was ambitious and powerful. [BßlTlSH P at-4.1 The affairs of Turkey, so far at feast as they regard the queition of a probable war between Russia and the Porte, seem to approach their crisis. This point, to which the eyes of the world are now turned with anxious interest, will soon be deterrniued ; vntl if ea opinion were to be formed froth the extensive Military preparations which arp said to be Made, both in:Austria and in Russia, we shoal& judge that the result of the discussions which hitve so long occupied the several Cabinets of Europe. - will be unfavourable to the interests of Turkey. Paris papers of Saturday inform us that the Austrian army on the Turkish frontiers continues to receive consider able reinforcements, and that extensive maga zines are 'formincr. in Hungary.- An impres sion is hence said to prevail' in Vienna that Austria will take an active part in the ensuing quarrel in concurrence with Russia; and we are further told that the rashness and presumption of a Turkish officer in pursuing a fugitive into the Austrian-territories, and insolently threatening a repetition of this national outrage, have given sufficient cause to the Austrian Cabinet for as suming a direct and immediate part in the threat ened war. A rumour prevailed in Warsaw about the 30th of last month, that a conflict had. ac tually taken place between. the advanced guards of the Russians and of the Turks, but nothing is said of the result. This rumour, we have no doubt, was premature, and' notwith- standing the confidence with. which the state ments are put forth respecting the extenlive preparations for war, we still entertain the be lief' which we have already expressed, that the peace now subsisting will' not be disturbed, at-least upon the present grounds of- quarrel. We had at first hoped differently, but Russia having pro tracted so long her claims to satisfaction for the insults personally ofrered to the . , Ambassador, our hopes and wishes have. yielded to the sober probability that Russia has submitted her pri. vate quarrel to the judgment of other Cabinets; and abstains from the exercise of her superior military strength. [NEW TIMES.] The Radical Press has been sorely disr.p pointed by the candour and manliness which ad mitted the witnesses to see the individual soldiers who were on duty at Cumberland-gate. The Editors were sure that no such permission would ever he granted : they even asserted that it had been tefused ; but, lo! the fact puts them to shame, if shame it be in their natures to feel. Let us now see whether the 44 Escort" will act with the same manliness. Let us see whether they wi 1 dare to submit themselves to the inspection o the Police Officers. We can assert, on the mos i►►disputable authority, that some of these me► began the riot. They struck the Civil Autho rities ; they threatened to ride over them ; they encouraged the mob to beat, wound, and cruelly maltreat them, and at length, they raised the sanguinary cry—" The City - , or Death." This, we say, was the cause of the bloodshed which afterwards ensued. These, if murder was perpetrated, were the real Murderers! To identify, them, therefore, is much more the duty of the Coroner than to identify the particular individuals who may happen to have fired off the pistols that killed some individuals ; for nothing can be clearer than that those pistols would never have been fired, had it not been for the atrocious and almost treasonable audacity of the villains who first obstructed the progress of the Royal Corpse. The contest arose about shut ting Cumberland-gate ; but the parties would never have been at Cuml)erland-gate except for the riot which turned the procession out of its due course; it would , have gone up Church street, and so got into the Uxbridge road.—" It is certain," say the law books, " that the Coroner may and ought to inquire of all the circumstances of the party's death, and also of all things which occasioned it." Now it cannot be denied that the riot excited by the horsemen at Kensington occa sioned the death of the men at Cumberland-gate ; for it was the cause, and the sole cause, of their being there : it was the cause of that ferocious spirit in the mob which led them to adopt and act upon the resolution implied in the, words— The City or Death !" Not till these horsemen arrived did the mob overturn the carts in Church street ; nor till they arrived did the mob pro ceed to violence against the police-officers ; but then, incited by the horsemen, they fell Upon these unfortunate persons with the most brutal fury. We ourselves have seen a stone of several pounds weight, which struck one of them on the back, knocked him down, and rendered him quite senseless. Another police officer was wounded in the eye with the point of an umbrella; another was beaten se verely with sticks and umbrellas ; another re ceived a very violent blow on the back of his head ;, another, it! attempting to - remove the carts, was pelted with large stones and beaten with sticks and umbrellas ; another was struck on the head ; another was beaten both by horse men and pedestrians ; another was often Struck and much ill used ; and all were hooted, hissed, insulted, and prevented from discharging the duty to which they were appointed. A cla .mour is raised against employing a military po lice; but all these savage barbarities were exer cised on the civil polie-9. -.Who reoilerelthe em ployment of a military police necessary ? Those who not only had refused lawful obedience to the civil police, but almost murdered the civil officers.—'What we have been speaking of, hap pened at Church-street,,Kensington. The inter ference of the military was first called 'in at Kensiugton-gate ; but. there Sir Robert I3aker thought fit to yield to the rioters. It has been said that his perseverance would only have occasioned bloodshed ; and he listened to the humane horsemen, who interfered to persuade him to abandon his public duty. In our humble opinion, he ought to have committed these advisers of crime ; and if he did not, the Sheriff should : but of one thing we are conti dent, that had the soldiers forced Kensington gate there would have been no lives lost at all. Two or three rioters, who rashly held the gate together, would have been knocked down, and the resolution of the Magistrate to compel obe dience to the law, in one instanceovould have deterred the offenders from a second attempt. Two oxen were recently slau%htered at Ham burgh, one weighing 3,6001b5, the other 3 3 800Ihp. They were both bred in nolstein l und fed merely on grass. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. (From " Farley's Bristol Journal," Aug. 18.) RETROSPECT... REMOVAL OF THE QUEEN'S REMAINS.—It is impossible that any reflecting mind can. peruse the account of the fatal pro ceedings of Tuesday last without the.most painful emotions.— Disguise it as we will, it was the triumph of mob law over the constituted authorities of the kingdom. Deeply responsible to their country are those men who, by inflammatory speeches, and paragraphs m newspapers, excited the populace to resist what ought to them, and to every subject in the realm, to have been sacred, the lawful command of a lawful and proper au ' thority. say - nothing of the indecency of disturbing the obsequies of the dead by tumult and bloodshed, we speak of a more senous and alarming evil, the open defiance of law ; and the avowed will of the mob controlling and overpowering the authority of the State. 1t is dreadful to hear the rabble talk ing of the exploit of the day as a victory !—A victory ? Over what ? Over law and order, over all the bulwarks of liberty, and all the safeguards of life. If the law be not immediately and strongly resorted to—if the guilty promoters of seditious tumult be not forthwith proceeded against and brought to jus tice, we must say that the Government•of the country will be henceforth held at the tenure of mere popular caprice. The . breath of a demagogue suffices to blow into the , air every power, which does not rat on the support of au efficient sys tem of law. The present case is shortly this : Motives of Public Policy invest the King with a right to direct the Funeral Ceremony of his deceased Queen : he exercises that right ; a few private individuals declare that it shall be resisted : and resisted the King's Officers, civil and military, in their obedience to Ins*Ma jesty's lawful commands. The sad results are the loss of seve ral lives,- and the maiming and wounding of a number of un fortunate individuals. But the most important point to be considered is, that the measures of the-rioters must have been the result of plan and pre-concert. It is manifest that 'there must have been perions in a : somewhat higher sphere of life than those actually engaged in the conflict, who laid the scheme, for this resistance to Royal authority. These men should be discovered and brought to trial at whatever expence, and with whatever trouble and perseverance. What their offence, in our opinion, amounts to, we shall not say; but we suppose no reasonable man can doubt that it is an offence of a very deep die—leading to open contempt of the King's person and au thority—to violent breach of the public peace—and.to destruc tion of life and limb. We are disposed to feel respect for Lady Hood, but the pub lication of her letters to Lord Liverpool has occasioned evils which we are sure she cannot but deeply repent. We are equally disposed to speak of her Majesty's Executors with all deference ; but those Learned Gentlemen have hazarded a le gal opinion on the powers vested in them, which opinion we cannot but think precipitate, and in which, if they should turn cut to be mistaken, their mistake will certainly have been most pernicious. Is there any distinct authority for holding, that the Executor of a Queen Consort has such a property in the corpse of the deceased, that he can dispose of it at his will and plea sure, in opposition to the express command of the King ? Or does not public policy, on the contrary, vest in the King an ab solute right of directing the funeral of the Queen Consort ? It is a clear principle of our law that to resist the Ring's lawful commands is a misdemeanor. Can the Executors deny that the commands for the Queen's Funeral were given by the King; or do they mean to contend that those commands were unlaw ful ? A prudent man would not stir such a question rashly ; more especially, when its agitation was likely to inflame the , minds of the populace, and to lead to consequences which all men must deplore. Responsibility therefore, of no small weight, in our opinion, must rest on the shoulders of those Gentlemen. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, Aua.

RUSSIA AINID TURKEY. ST. PET ER$ J u t.Y 21—Whether die Emperor ALEXANDER entertained or not, since the last treaty of Parisi previously to, during, or after the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, and those of Carlsbad and Lay Bach, Views of future ag , grandizement, or whether he was only desirous of insuring the maintenance of peace by the dis play of an immense military force ; it is at least certain, that he has been continually augmenting the number of his regular troops, and that by his system of colonization, he has evinced that he had it in view to instill a martial- spirit into the entire population of Russia. - Russia contains about thirty-eight millions of inhabitant%; that is to say,. nineteen millions of males. The object of CO" onization is, that there may be always two in a .hundred caps.' ble of bearing arms, which, if all the Russian empire were colonized, would give 3130,000 men, exclusive of the regular troops. At present, the Emperor can only draw, at the utmoOt. 250,000 men; besides the Russian Nobles, Who are proprietor of immense domains, and numerous inhabitants, are oppose 4 to his system, and do not introduce it in their fossessions, but think it" sufficient to furniSh the Men whom' they are bound to do for the contingent of the Imperiaf troops. These truu?* at this moment amount to the alarming number of 912,04 Men, eXclusively of the colonization ,forces, 'the permanent army of Siberia (the number of whfeh is not very accuratelf known) and the Polish army, which, in truth, amounts only to twenty-five or thirty thousand men, and which the Russians hold in sovereign contempt. The 912,000 men at present enrolled under the Russian 11 , 1:' ners, ate disposed as follows Ten infantry corps d'arrnee, each consisting'ofll4oo men; and dispersed throughout the various provinces of the Empire • • • • • • • The c*.l.S_d'arinee under Prince de - Wittgenstein, encampc4 on the frontiers of Turkey • • . 0'2,0 4 The corps d'arm4e of 'General Yen - nanofr,which was thought destined to Piedmont, and which, at the re quest, it is said, of the Emperor of Austria, continues stationed on the frontiers of Silesia . . 0 112 .

One thing :which it is i m p or t an t to re mark, is,' that thi s immense Russian army is, or would '6 ol ' be, useless, if Riissia only a i me d at Turkey, and if she had - to fortify' herself against the Gre a t Powers ; for Russia, 111 her wars with the Porte, never employed more than fifty sixty thousand men: She requires a much less force in the Po' sent day, as Turkey has suffered so much by the ei g orous fence or the att ac k s o f 'th e G ree k s on land, and especially °/ sea.
