WIIE LONDON JOURNALS. XIII. ACTS FROM VIE D 411. Y MORNING EA,PtRS, October 1 - 0, 18M [BRITISH. PRESSI • With the exception of the Mission of Sir Wm. A.Tourt to the Court of Madrid, we know no solid foundation for the confidence of the consti tutional Spaniards in British co-operation. The foreign politics of the late - Marquis of London derry, it is generally understood, will be most servilely folloWed by his successor. With this feeling, a Ministerial Print .of last evening has quoted the following.extract from kcirculer dis patch of his Lordship to our Ministers at Foreign Courts, dated July 19, 1821; wherein he. laid down the following principles as regulating the ' conduct of the British Government upon the question, of interference : « No GovernMent can.be more prepared than the British Government is to uphold the, right of any State or States to in terfeie, where their own imirtediate Security or essential interests are seriously endangered by the internal, transactions of another State.. But,as they regard the assumption of such ri g ht as onl y to be just ified by the strongest necessity, and to be limited • and regulatekthereby„ theycsnnot. admit that this right can receive a general and indiscriminate application to all revolutionary movements; without reference to their, immediate bearing upon some;particular State or States, or be made, proxpectively, the basis of an alliance.". The principle, however, laid, down in this dis patch does not go far enough to justify the ex pectation of the Spanish Constitutionalists. No one suspects England of any intention to inter fere in the internal affairs of Spain. The question she remain a passive spectator of such interference on the part . of the continental So'vereigui ? If we look only to her past conduct with respect 'to nations siinilarly ciicurnstanced, the answer is a negative. Greece •and South America have derived from her no - valuable or attire hid. n their struggles. Spain, with England for her might .bid defiance to all the rest of Europe in arms. But' England will not place .kerself In that romantic and chivalrous position ; her Quixotic spirit has evaporated inher internal distress. The Spanish Constitutionalists , ap pear 'to found - their hopes' upon the great commercial advantages :which England might derive from a close connexion with their country. In this spirit the above article suggests The purchase of English co-operation by the sur render of Cuba ; and a Morning Paper of yester day, anticipating this exchange, mentions as a report that Spain has empowered our Govern ment. to take posse'ssion of the places on the coast of that island, which have become the haunts of the pirates who have proved so de structive to our Commerce in the West Indies.-- It unfortunately happens, however, that in the system of policy, pursued by the late Marquis'of Londonderry, and from which Ministers are not expected to deviate, the interests of commute bay.e b-e - rn thrown into the back ground. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The removal. of Lord Melville from the head of the Navy to the Government of India has naturally' occasioned many inquiries as..to his Lordship's probable" successor at the Admiralty. If we are not misinformed, the removals in that department already contemplated,. and we might perhaps add determined on, will not be confined to Lord Melville, but wilt at least also include Croker; and, as might be expected, they will be •so replaced as both to strengthen Mr. tannings• in,terest in the Cabinet and in Parlia ment, a.nd to extend (we would fain hope to liberalize) the basis of Administration generally. It would indeed be difficult for Mr. Canning, who has been forced into . power through such close filei of oppoSing interests, and wile still finds himself in the midst of difficulties, to retain - .his office long without the support of more friends both among the People, and the aristocracy than he now possesses. 1t would accordingly appear, from the choice of persons for the vacated situa tions, that an eye has been had to the acquisition of popularity. Ministers, we understand, have at length de termined to make , the Blue. Ribbon, vacant by the death of the late Lord Londonderry, a peace offering to the Marquis of Itertford, who is sup posed not to have much reason to be particularly pleased with the treatment he has for a length of time experienced from Lord Liverpool. Indeed, a greater- personal affront was, perhaps, never offered to an individual of his Lordship's elevated rank, than by the determination of Ministers not to permit him to•succeed the late Marquis in the Lieutenancy of Warwickshire, which, our readers wilt recollect, was, immediately on his death, transferred to the Earl of Warwick. This indignity to the present Marquis of Hertford, .and indeed to the memory of the late, was ten dered the more marked by the fact:that the very same Ministers,, on the deaths of the late Duke of Devonshire and the Marquis of Buckingham, gave the Lietenancies held by them to the pre sent Dukes of- 1 vonshire and Buckingham, al thongh their Graces were_ at the time in opposi tion to them, However, Ministers, it is said, entertain a strong persuasion that the present Marquis of Hertford is not blessed with a very retentive memory, • but that nature has amply compensated his Lordship for that imperfection by a most liberal endowment of the Christian virtue of forgiveness, and they loudly express their conviction that he will feel himself greatly obliged to them for furnishing him with an occa, sion to exhibit that most meritorious quaility in the most amiable light.-,—(ibid.) [MORNING POST.] The enemies of the Greeks at Vienna and in this country have been in the habit of demand,' ;fig a correct statement of dates, places, and names to prove the correctness of the Grecian re. ports, although those which they published in op position pOssessed no such qualifications. Now we should think they must at last have the mor tification of being satisfied, for if ever military operations were detailed in a manner calculated to obtain credit, it is in the preceding account. The whole is'so clear, so consistent, so naturally told ; the names of Commanders are so unhesi tatingly given, the march and positions of armies so minutely' described, the days of action and their results so distinctly marked, that incredu lity: if it still be ur&ed after the perusal, must be noticing less than "hypocrisy. . Accounts from Semlin, after mentioning the total destruction of the Turkish army at the Thermopylm and in the Morea, state that the Porte had ordered all the troops that Were encamped on the banks of the Danube to rtpair to Thessaly, in order to form a new army to act against the Greeks. The. in telligence from Spain in these Papers is still con tradictory. Whilst the Royalists celebrate the victory said to have been gained by the Baron D'Eroles, the Constitutionalists exultin his defeat. [NEiv TIMES.] The minds of most men are now turned to the approaching Congress at Verona, and much'spe culation is afloat respecting the subjects which will there be brought under discussion. The great object of all the Congresses which,have been held for the last eight years has been the general tranquillizzition of Europe, and the pro motion of principles truly liberal and Christian ; and the only differences between the res►.ective .Cabinets have turned upon the methods best cal culated to secure the attainment of these great ends. it is a' gratifying contemplation for the friends of humanity to perceive the philanthropic vision of former days almost li terally verified, and the Great Powers of Europe deliberating in common for the maintenance of a perpetual peace. _But while this is the object of the Great Powers, an active opposition to their benevolent views is carried on by the partizans of a very different system. This opposition has shewn itself in various ways—in the daily and • weekly - poison of a revolutionary Press, in the revolutionary harangues of certain public orators, in the lectures of certain Professors, in secret associations and conspiracies, in open insurrec tions, which have generally been crushed, but which unhappily have, in one lamentable • instance, succeeded in the momentary establish ment of a democratical Republic, with a Royal prisoner at its head. [TIIE TIMES.] The speculations of the Spanish Newspapers begin to take an interesting turn. Instead of saying, as th►e truth appears to be, that the rebel cause of the Inquisition and of arbitrary power is declining in Spain, and that of the Constitution advancing every day, the language now used is this :—" The French party is gradually losing " ground in this kingdom ; and for some time ," past the English has been gaining." It well behoves the French Government to consider the nature of that part and of that policy with, which it is thus openly identified.— The justice of the. imputation, as regards one considerable class in France, none will doubt: The lovers of arbitrary power in that kingdom.. would even be offended by a suspicion of their indifference to the objects for which the Army of the Faith has, been set in motion. Ultra-Royalist writers in every journal under their control boast of the successes said to be achieved by the banditti calling themselves the " Army of the Faith," and hourly invent suc cesses for them, glorying in. every act of insurgent _violence which they perpetrate, as if it were undertaken expressly for the supp.ortof legitimate monarchy, and of Louis XVII t, The French army of observation is by this party hailed as a practical menace against the Spanish people.. To crown all, the Commander-lii,Chief of the In surgents, Baron D' Eroles, holds his head-quar ters in the French town of - Bayonne !—there plans the measures of the rebel campaign— thence dates and there receives his dispatches-,- thence directs the military movements of the traitors—thence issues when it seems convenient to execute them, and thither flies when defeated. All this, or a tenth part of it, would ,be sufficient to prove that there is no error nor injustice in denominating the rebellions Spaniards the French party," [MORNING HERALD.] The Paris Journals are silent, as ..usual, upon the internal politics of France. We learn, how ever, from private information, that the present is a season of strenuous contest, chiefly in the Royalist saloons, and in the antichambers of the Princes. The dissention, we understand, is not so much between the members of the Administra tion as between the Ministry and the array of Royalist supporters who bore M. de Villele and his colleagues into the Cabinet—even 'forc ing them upon the King. The matter of disgust between the Prime Minister and his friends is the reluctance —or, as it is said, the refusal, of the former to throw France into the scale of those powers, who wish to put down the Consti tutional system in Spain by foreign arms. The great body of emigrant and Ultra-Royalists, who, notwithstanding their numerical weakness in the nation, possess both influence - and strength of- nnmber in the Chamber of Deputies, and in the Tuilleries, have an eagerness beyond the mere hatred of all revolution in the abstract, to destroy the Constitutional order in Spain.— This party has never abandoned the hope of bringing back France, in substance, if not in name, to a condition of much greater like ness and affability to the old Monarchy than she bears at present ; and it is the no toriety that this design is entertained, that causes the demise of the present Monarch to be regarded at so momentous an event. But those men, who sigh so anxiously for the old Monarchy, well know, that the restoration of the ancient Government in Spain would be a great advance made towards the effecting a simi lar movement in France ; whilst, on the other hand, the consolidation of the Constitutional or der and its continuance in Spain would present an almost impassable barrier to the, counter revolutionary measures on the other side of the Pyrenees. At the close of last week excellent potatoes were selling at the quays here, at the unprece dented low ptice of 4d. per peck; and we have heard of their being purchased in bolls at 4s. 6d. One dealer, we are told, irritated at the - depre ciation of the commodity, actually upset a cart load of potatoes into the river. ---(Greenock vertiser.) TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA. The books of Lloyd's yesterday furnished se veral new examples of' the severity with which Spain is enforcing the principle set up in the, me morable case of the Lord Collingwood,—that all vessels proceeding from any port of her late South American Colonies are liable to capture. A letter from Philadeldhia, of the 3d of Sep tember, states that at St. John's, Porto Rico, five privateers were fitting out for the purpose of in tercepting vessels employed in that traffic. The following is the list of captures ascertained yes day : The Zeta, of London, from Cadiz to Vera Cruz, which was captured and carried into ,Ponce, Porto Rico, has been con demned with her cargo. _ _ _ The Phoebe, of St. John's, New Brunswick, from La Guayra to Hamburgh, has been taken by a brig and two felucca pri vateers, carried into Ponce, and condemned with her cargo. The General Jackson, Langdon, from New York to Curacoa, was captured off St. Croix on the Bth of August, by the General Pereira Spanish privateer, and carried into Ponce, Porta Rico. A Danish and a Spanish sloop were carried into Ponce about the same time. THE DISCOVERY Snies..—Every day there" are articles appearing in the provincial papers, copied again into the London Journals, calculated to create alarm about Capt. Parry's expedition. We venture to affirm, on the contrary, that nothing has occurred since the expedition sailed to cause fear for its safety, or to make us conclude it has been unsuccessful. The discovery ships are not at all in the track of the whalers. They were seen in July last year at the entrance of Hudson's Bay , which is far to the southward of the fishing ground ; and it is probable that Capt. Parry has chosen that route, to get to Cum berland Strait, or to some other "lead" to the westward. He was not to go, north to Lancaster Strait again. The fishery at Davis's Straits has failed so completely this year, because for the two years preceding, the vessels having penetrated to the inlets on the west of Baffin's bay, and having met great success there, abandoned the old fishing ground this year, and lost their time in attempting to get again to the west ; but a barrier of ice, compact and impenetrable, extended from one end of the bay to the other, and not a ship was able to proceed more than 20 or 30 milesfrom the land on the east side. KnoWing this,it is impossible to keep our gravity, when we read:of a shipmagter having made anxious hut unsuccessful inquiries about Captain Parry. There is no one sanguine of his success, but no one need be alarmed for his safety. This barrier was not owing to an uncommonly frosty season, but to winds preVailing from the S.W., that is, 'right into the . Straits, thus preventing the ice from passing into the main ocean : but these winds would serve to break up the ice in the' inlets on the American side, and drive it into Baf .fin's Bay—the very thing to encourage the expedition to pro ceed. , The west side of the bay, there is every reason to sup pose, would he clear sea. The ships are provisioned for three years, with every attention to comfort which the experience gained by the former expedition pointed out as proper; and supposing them to have made some progress last year, and some this, if there is any chance of getting farther, they will winter there again ; and even, if the attempt has been abandoned,. we may conclude from what has hapPened on the former occasion that the ice inland would not break up till August, and after this there is a tedious navigation before they could reach the sea. It was the month of November when the Heck passed Aberdeen, from the last expedition. If they remain there this winter, oar first accounts of them will probably be from some of the Hudson's Bay or North West Company's. establishment; in the interior.—(Aberdeen Chronicle. ) , THE ANCIENT VESSEL DISCOVERED IN THE RO THER.—Frorn the information of our intelligent correspondent we learn that the idea of transporting it to London by sea, is now abandoned, and it is intended to tow it up the main chan nel of the Rather, in which it lies, to Newenden-bridge, with 140 passengers, the number which was on hoard when it was first floated from the branch of the Rother, where it was dug out; From Newenden it is to be conveyed to London by land, on a carriage constructed for that purpose, where it will be. ex hibited for some time, for the emolument of the man who found it ; after which some persons of distinction, who have clearly ascertained its antiquity, have agreed topurchase it. Our cor respondent adds—" Many false reports have been maliciously or wantonly propagated by ill-minded and ignorant people, to the serious, injury of the owner—such as' that the vessel is an. old Rye barge, swamped up a few years ago, and that the seve ral articles which have been taken out of her, were first carried thither by some of the labourers employed; who. have been convicted of these lies, and of having sworn, or offered to swear, to them. Besides all this, no little injury has been done by the assumed dates and positive opinions of persons of a sape-' rior class, who have taken upon them to circulate and support their absurd and improbable conjectures, with dictatorial and confident assertions. Much research and investigation have been bestowed upon the subject, and the result is conclusive in favour of its antiquity, from five to eight hundred years."— (Kentish Gazette.) MARRIAGE AMONG DIFFERENT NATIONS. — Marriage is in use amongst all people. The first inhabitants of Greece lived together without marriage. Ctrops first insti, tuted. marriage in Athens. The season of the year which they preferred was winter, particularly the month of January, called Gamelion. Children were not alloWed to marry without the consent of their parents. The usual ceremony was kissing each other, or giving their right hand. A Ro man might not marry . any, woman who was not a Roman. — The most happy season for marrying was that which fol lowed the ides of June. In Germany they, have a kind of marriage called Morganatic, wherein a man of quality Contracting with a woman of inferior rank, gives her the left hand instead of .the right; from this marriage the chil dren become bastards as to matters of inheritance, thouh they are legitimate in effect. None but Princes a nd g reat Lords of Germany are allowed this kind of marriage. The Turks have three sorts of marriage and three sorts of wives—legitimate, wives in kebin, and 'slaves. They Marry the first, hire the se cond, and buy the third. The people of Java marry their chil dren at 9 years of age. In Siam the espousals are concluded by female mediation. On the third visit the parties are considered as married. Royal marriages are sometimes incestuous, and the King does not hesitate to marry his own sister. This'arises from pride. Among the savage nations of Asia Africa, or America, the wife is commonly bought by the husband froM the father. Among the Abyssinians, the price varies from four horses down to a bottle of brandy. The Araucans have as many wives as they can keep. In China the bride is purchased by a present tti her parents, and is never seen by her husband till after the ceremony. In Circassia the bridegrocirie pays for his bride a marriage present, but he must not see her, nor cohabit with her without the greatest mystery. This reserve continues through life. The ancient Medes compelled their citizens, in one canton, to take seven wives ; in another, each woman to receive five husbands ; according as the war had madb, in one quarter of their country, an extraordinary havoc among the men, or.the women had been carried away by an enemykfrona an other. The ancient Britons hid a singular kind of marriage or rather polygamy. Any-number of them, as ten or a dozen, joined in a society together, which 'was, perhaps, requisite for mu tual defence in those barbarous times. In order to link this society the closer, they took an ,equal number,of wives, in com mon, and whatever children were born, were reputed to belong to all of them, and were accordingly provided for by the com munity. In Peru they have several wives, but one, or princi pal, which is wedded with solemnity. Thei bridegroom es aroes to the bride's house, and puts an ottayo, which is an open shoe, on her foot ;if she is a maid, it is made of wool—if otherwise, of reeds. This being done, he carries her home. In the Bra zils no marriage ceremonies take place; upon the ,consent of the bride and her friends , he takes er home ;if unfaithful, the :hatband may kill her. By the ancient law of England, if any Christian man did marry with a woman that was a Jew, Or a Christian woman did Marry with a Jew, it felony, and the party so offending should be burnt alive (3 Inst. 89); or, as the author of Flettesays, buried alive. Yesterday .a Court Leet was 'lel& at the Town Hall, Southwark, before the RECQUER of Loamoar, for the King's manor (of which the Recorder is Lord for the time being), for the . purpose of electing, for the ensuing year officers of the Court, Jurors, flesh-tasters, constables, &c. Formerly prisoners for petty offences were tried at this Court, but the practice has fallen into desuetude. DELIBERATE ROBBERY.—A few days ago, robbery was very deliberately committed in 'the counting-house of a sugar-baker on Tower-hill. A customer called at the counting : house, and paid the sum of 401. to the clerk, who de posited it in the desk, and soon afterwards left the office for a few minutes, having locked the desk and hung the key of it be- hind the door, in a place which he supposed to be unknown to any but himself and the principal., On his return liehowever foand that a visitor had been in the office who knew the secret. —The desk was lying Open, the money was gone, and iii the place of the 401. was left a piece'of paper, on which were these words—" Don't leave the,key behind the door again, you care less fools." It is supposed that the thief had acquaintance with some individuals about the concern, and that lie wrote the above mentioned caution in order to prove that he Stole " in jest," in the event of detection. — A shabby-genteel man had been seen lurking about the premises.. SWALLOWING OF CLASP KNIVES. In the quarterly number of " the Edinburgh Philok?Phical Journal," for October, a few nutn bers of which.have arrived in London, there is ari " account of - a . man who lived ten years, after having sthaltorOcd a number of Clasp Knives." The accountis draWn up by ALEXEt. MARCET, M.D. F.R.S., late Physician to Guy's Hospital. As it is a remarkable case, we shall give an ab- stract of it. In June, 1799, John Cummings, an American sailor, aged about 23, being with his ship on the coast of France, and having gone on shore with some of his ship-mates, about two miles from Havre-de-Grace, he and his party - - directed their course towards a tent which they saw in a field, with a crowd of people round it. They found within the tent a man, who was entertaining the audience by pretending to swal low clasp knives. They returned on board and spoke •of what they had seen ; when Cummins, who had been drinking freely, boasted that he could swallow knives as well as the Frenchman. Ile was challenged to do it. Thus pressed, and though, as he afterwards acknowleded, not par ticularly anxious to take the job in hand, he did not like to go against his word, and having a good supply of grog inwardly, he took his own pocket-knife, and on trying to swallow it, it slipped down his throat with great ease, and by the assistance of some, drink, and the weight of the knife, it was conveyed into his stomach. The spectators, however, were not satisfied with one experiment, and asked the ope rator—whether he could swallow more ? his an swer was—all the knives on board the ship ; -upon which three knives were. immediately pro duced, which were swallowed in the same way as the former ; and by this bold attempt of a drunken man (to use his own expressions) the company was well entertained, for that night. The next day he passed one of the knives which was not the one that he.had swallowed first; and the day afterwards he passed two knives at once, one of them being that which he first swallowed. The ether, according to his knowledge, remain ed in the stomach, but he never felt any incon venience from it. After this extraordinary per formance, he thought no more of swallowing knives for the next six years. In March 18,05, being then at Boston, in America, he was one day .tempted, while drinking with a party of sailors, to boast of his former exploits, adding, that he was the same man still, and ready to re, peat his performance. A small knife was there upon produced, which he instantly swallowed. the course, of the evening he swallowed five The next morning crowds of visitors came to see him ; and in the course of that day he was induced to swallow eight knives more, making in all fourteen ! lie, however, paid dearly for this frolic. He was seized with constant vomiting and pain in his stomach; but, as he related, between that time and the 28th of the following month, he got rid of the whole of his cargo. At Spithead, Dec. 4, in the same year, he was challenged to repeat his feats, and ' disdaining to be worse than his word," in the coarse of the evening he swallowed five knives. The ship's company, next morning, expressed a great desire to see him repeat the performance, and he com plied with his usual readiness ; and by the encouragement of the people, and the assistance of good grog, he swallowed that day, as he dis inctly recollects, nine clasp knives, some of whicl More. were very large ; and he was afterwards assured by the spectators that he, had swallowed foul' more ; which, however, he declared he knew nothing about, being, no doubt, at this period of the business too much intoxicated to have any recollection of what was passing. This, however, is the last performance recorded ; it made a total of at least thirty-five -knives swallowed at dif ferent times ; and the last attempt ultimately put an end to his existence. On the following 6th of Dec. he became much indisposed ; and after various applications, about three months afterwards, he felt, as he expressed himself, the knives,"dropping down his bowels." He continued dreadfully ill. In 1807, he was in Guy's Hos pital, under Dr. Babington ; and he there conti nued, intervals excepted, under Dr. B. and after wards under Dr. Curry, till March 1809. After having gradually and miserably sunk under his suffeang, he then died, in a state of extreme ema ciation. The account is followed by a letter from Surgeon Larlh, who. was on board the vessel where Cummings performed his last feat ; and by Cummings' own Narrative, drawn up while in Guy's Hospital. Many knives, and fragments of knives.left this extraordinary character in the course of 1807. Dr. Marcet's account does not state whether the body was opened. DESTRUCTIVE AND ,kLARMING FIRE AT BLACK WALL.—About ten o'clock on Tuesday forenooi the neighbourhood of Blackwall was thrown into considerable confusion in consequence of a very alarming fire breaking out in the extensive starch manufactory of Messrs. Morris and Constable, close to Squire Green's dock-yard. The build ings, which were very large, were composed for the chief part of wood, - and had been only a fortnight erected. An excise officer, who had been on the premises in the morning, remarked that the steam engine, by the aid of which the starch was dried, was above heat, and this person had hardly quitted the manufactory when the flames burst forth with alarming fury, from the heat of the engine having ignited some portion of the wood in the drying room. A II efforts to save any part of the manufactory were ahortive,all was reduced to a heap of smoking ruins. The flames communicated to the Ohl Hole public house to Mr. Kingsall's, plumber, and glazier, and to the premises of Mr. Groves, live stock feeder, all of which were ma terially damaged. The wind was very high at the time, and drove some of the embers to Squire Green's dock-yard, on the opposite side of the way, which set on fire, and shortly destroyed, a shed there, and did 'a good deal of damage to the foreman's dwelling-house, and would in all pro bability have destroyed not only the whole yard, but immediate neighbourhood, bad not the wind shifted frotn that direction about eleven o'clock. The greatest praise is due 'to the firemen and neighbours for their exertions. The proprietors of the starch manufactory were not insured, POLICE' rvrEttm VICE.
