THE LONDO4 ,i6M3NALS, : - Z-ALLY EXTRACTS 'FROM THr. kIC)Ft.NING - PAPERS, Jthittary 3, iS2T. • • • • [l3lllll Ht PRESS.] The island of Zante appears to continne very ratich agitated, and so unpopular has Sir Thomas lolaitland made himself throughout the lonian Wands, that disaffection towards the_British Go vernment will most probably sliew itself quickly. is every part of the 'Onion. -The evident parti elity - which the head of the lonian Government displayed at an early period of the present war towards the oppressors of Greece, excited' in the b7CaSts of the lonians a strong feeling of dis pleasure. This was raised to a high pitch of in dignation by the apparent cruelty of the High commissioner in recently depriving some, Parga nc,tes of their right of - residence within the union, on the ground a : their having vio lated the neutrality which it .was his 'Excel lency's policy to observe. The lonians took but pains to conceal their sentiments, so that even independent of the- attack made by the people of Zaute .upon a party of .British troops Whointerfered for the protection of some Turkish sailors against the fury of the populace, it is pro bable that Sir Thomas Maitland had gobd rea son to apprehend an insurrection akairfst the Bri tish 'authority. From this apprehension flowed his edict-for the general disarming - of the people.; but the 'measure was considered by them as - a .gross and wanton insult,, and has .alarmingly creased the hostile dispositidn of the islanders. It was very doubtful, while the lonian Islands continued tranquil and obedient, whether our pus - session of them was beneficial to the interests of Great Britain ; but should the minds of the inha bitants become alienated from our Government, should.they be made to feel the severity of an austere and despotic authority, instead of the protective mildness of a liberal and generous ad min4stration, and should it finally be found neces sary-to maintain our possession by the employ ment of a large army, and by the exercise of mi litary law, no doubt can any longer subsist, and it becomes clear to demonstration, that either the character of thaGrovernment must he•ameliorated, • . or that the ensigns of British power ought, with ' out any delay, to be removed from the sight of a people who have ceased to regard them with sea tments of respect or attachment. [MORNING POST.] The Paper which made itself conspicuous lately ty Publishing incredible accounts of atrocities, said to have been committed by the Greeks, was at last obliged, yesterday evening, to raise a little Corner of the veil which conceals the enormities of his friends, the Turks. The necessity was really cruel, but the task was performed, as fol lows, with much better grace than could have been anticipated : 44 We regret to state, that the letters by the Turkey Mail this'-morning, of the 2f.lth November, confirm the intelligence of great excesses having been committed in Constanti nople, which, in several instances, ended in the iTrttrddr of Christians. These excesses are ascribed entirely - to the sailors landed from the Turkish aeet which arrived from the ArChipelago. They brought thirty Greek vessels in as prizes, and on their passing Seraglio Point, these barbarians hung each to the yard-arm three or four Greeks, as trophies of victory ; the crews were after wards allowed to go on shore, where they were guilty •of the greatest cruelties.. One of the letters we have seen says—' His Excellency Strangford has remonstrated strongly with the Porte ; and we trust his influenoe will be successful upon this as upon former occasions.'— The same letter, on the subject of the disputes between Russia and Turkey, observes—' The Austrian Internuncio has had a long conference -with the Turkish Authorities : all that has trans pired is, that no definitive arrangement has yet taken place, but if there is a war, it will be en tirely owing to the obstinacy of the Porte, and -,ve think hostilities with such a powerful neigh bour, and such internal convulsions, will end in the entire overthrow of the Turkish Government. - We cannot, therefore, think for a mornent,lhat the Divan 1,7;11 thus rush forward on destruction.' " Vie have received advices of a later date, Nov. from Constantinople, which make no allusion eihntever to the assassination of the, Sultan, and state that the outrages of which that city had again beer: the theatre, were partially repressed. A very heavy gale had been experienced in the neighbourhood, and several ships had been lost. Tile thirty Greek merchant vessels adorned with the bodies of as many of the Turkish Admiral's assn. Greek sailors, hanged to make up for the paucity of the captures, and to add to the re hpectability of the show, had excited much ex ultation at Constantinople. But notwithstanding the loss of those ships, which had, been found al titdst defenceless at Galay:idi, the naval strength ot the G.-eeks was considered unimpaired. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We refer our Readers to our Law Report for an account of the trial, the Earl of Jersey against ttan Publishers, and Printer of John Bull, for a libel. in the. Paper of May 6, 1821.—The Chief 4-ustice, in his charge, stated, that the article in tAd Paper ins question was a scandalous and de fitinatory publication. The :Jury found the de feitdants Not Guilty, on the ground that the evi denceof publication by them was not satisfacto lity.made out, but that they had no doubt of the P4per being a, libel. Thus these assassins of fe ,stsje.reputation, 'or rather these screens for the assassins, have been again branded by the Court and the Jury, though they have escaped punish went. A remark will naturally force itself on wog' of our readers on this occasion.. The lipiltsh law is said by lawyers to be The per fettion of human reason, and its forms are, we supp9se„ all equally dictated by reason. Yet it 4,appens that numbers of causes are perpetually Is;idt, an account: of nothing but the omission of sot* formality or other. It is not long since, in atiptherTibel,case, Wright v.

But the pub- to' Mf. O'Brien, ,one of the Coroners of the lic utility we know neither is nor ever will h e county of Cork, requesting his presence on the considered in this matter. The sinister practices scene of the alleged massacre, to hold the neces of the profes&ion of the law have been long ago nary Inquests ; but that on Mr. O'Brien's arcival exposed in a masterly Manner by Bentham ; but at the spot, the letter turned out to be a forgery, the lawyers tell us that these sinister practices mid the tale a mischievous and malignant fahrica form a valuable part of " the accumulative wis- tion. A good deal of commentary seems to have dom of ages," and what is more, they succeed in , been caused in Dublin by the. belief that Alderman finding.others fools enough to believe them. I 'James, the famous toastmaster a few months back, _ was protnised,the rank of Baronet, on the .oc casion of his attending with the Sheriffs and Corporation to form* part of the ceremonial at the entree of. the new Lord Lieutenant. That a man like this Alderman, not distinguished by any virtues which we have heard of, but that (if it be one) of belonging to a certain fac!ion re cently stigmatized by the Sovereign himself, should be invested with any thing in the shape of .a public honour by a Nobleman who has shewn himself the avowed enemy of the spirit and politics which. have ever disgraced that fac tion, is a circumstance to excite surprise, and to call for explanation ; and from thestatements of the 'Dublin Papers, the natural explanation appears to be,,that the promotion of the Altierman was a thing of course. The Sheriffs, it seems, were knighted of necessity : and when the same dignity was about to be inflicted' on the Lord Mayor, his Lordship is said to have pleaded a regulation .(a 'shrewd one, unquestionably) - of the body corpo rate of Dublin, by which, when Messrs. the Sheriffs should he be-knighted, my Lord the Mayor must stand out for some loftier testimonials of his merits—thus preserving theoriginal propor lions of his grandeur,bywhichhe excelled the subal terns. The Irish version-of the story, which assigns to some Catholic Gentleman of the bar the office of :man-midwife at the birth of an Orange Baronet, 'savours of the ludicrous, we suspect. If the Ba ronetcy to this Lord Mayor was a sort of favour 'which could not well be refused without .offence to the Corporation, being a mere-appendage to his place as Chief Magistrate, the Lord Lieutenant did what he could not - help doing. it is not surmised by 'the Dublin papers that there existed any charm in the public or priyhte character of Alderman James, which could of itself recommend him to the chi valrous intercession of an English Catholic law yer, or to the especial grace and favour- of a Viceroy, who had probably never heard of him but as a limb of that confederacy from whose mischievous gripe the Noble Lord has often pledged his wishes that Ireland and her Govern ment could be rescued. [NEW TIMES.] The new Frei)al Ministry are going on with the internal arrangements necessarily conseqnent on their accession to power. Among the most marked changes mentioned in the French papers are those of the Major-General and Adjutant-Gene ral of the National Guard of Paris, in which posts the Duc De Choiseul and the Count Bruno De Boisgelin have been succeeded by Count Jules De Polignac and the Viscount Sosthene de la Rochefoucauit. On the two Officers who have resigned we have no remark to make ; but those newly appointed must meet with general approba tion. They are both Noblemen of high distinction, both for their birth and loyal services to the House of Bourbon. Count Jules de Polignac is a Peer of (France ; his devoted at taaehment to his brother, the present Duke De Polignac, will for ever render his name .memorable. They were both arrested on` account - of their alleged connection with the plot of General Georges. The .elder brother was condemned to die ; but' the yoinger (Count Jules) earnestly besought the Judges to permit him to perish in his brother's stead. " I am a single man," said he " without fortune, ' without profession ; I have nothing to . lose ; my brother is married. Do not reduce to despair a virtuous wife ; but if you wilh destroy my bro ther, suffer me to'share his fate." This virtuous eloquence prevailed : the lives of the two brothers 'were saved, but they expiated their devotedness to the House . of 'Bourbon by an imprisonment of ten years, and only escaped from confinement in 'lBl4, to fly and join Monsieur, who had arrived on the frontiers shortly previOus to the fall of Buena pa rte. The Viscount Sosthene de la Rochefou can It is the son of the Duke de Doudeauville, recently appointed to the direction of the Posts. it was the Viscount who, in 1814, first proposed to pull down the Statue of Buonaparte, which so irritated the Ex-Emperor, that on his return in 1815, he ex cepted the Viscount, by name, out of the am nesty published at the epoch. The latter ac companied the King to Ghent, and after the second restoration he was chosen a Member of the Introuvable Chamber of Deputies, where he Constantly voted with the Royalists. Ile it was who proposed a religious commemoration of the Death of Louis X VI. His speech on this occa sion was most affecting ; and the measure Was unanimously adopted. • ' [MORNING HERALD.] The accounts from Ireland are of an aspect so whimsically • contrasted, •as we really believe could exist in . no other country under heaven. In Dublin, the arrival of the Noble Marquis who has been appointed chief Governor' has called forth such an ebullition of joviality and love of showl—of that peculiar disposition of mind, which loves to have some living idol to surcharge with the prodigality of its homage, and of sanguine cal culations of a golden wra of new happiness—such a display of ribbons, shamrocks, prancing horse men, and pedestrian multitudes, all wearing a uni form face of joy—that one would think Ireland was the place where human institutions and, the liberality of nature had done most for human felicity. One, however, need not pass the verge of that city. before he is struck, according to the same accounts, with a Contrast of wretchedness and ruin—of a wretched poor, reduced,by storms and inundations, from squalid poverty and a mi serable - existence, to utter destitution, and some to death. These two faces, so near each 'other, bring before one's 'mind the images of awn qui pleure and Jean qui rit. It would appear, too, that the Volunteer and Corporation Precession ists take no more notice of what is passing, than if the scene was in 'another hemisphere.— This is not, however, from want of humanity, we willingly allow—Dublin is unequalled for,. the proportion of its charities to its population— but from the utter abandonment of themselves to. pageantry and worship of the great man for the moment. It is said the Irish have some points of resemblance to the French. A living and dis tinguished French writer has said---," The Ito-1 mans had two great wants, the gratification of which was indispensable—panem et circenses— bread and PuS:c shows : our people (the French) have a third—k besom,de romper." We merely mention this expression, without committing our selves with its strict application. There is ano ther trait in the picture which should not pass unnoticed. The minor squabblers in Irish poli tics, of opposite parties, appear wooing and ogling the new Lord Lieutenant with a devoted ness without bounds, and eyeing each other with, a suspicion, jealousy, and spite, that, under other i circumstances, - would border on the comic. Pass ing from Dublin, about one hundred miles to the South, another picture is exhibited, which differs from the foregoing. It is no longer tragi-comedy, but harsh and uninitiated horror. Eightove be lieve, of the convicted criminals lately tried by the Commission, had been executed—this within rather a small compass—a circle of little more than thirty or forty miles diameter—and yr.t the career of outra,g - eand murder is scarcely checked, whilst the poor are already suffering the ap proaches of winter starvation ; and the rich— unable to protect their out-of-door property — are obliged to barricade their houses. ROBBERY or GOVERNMENT S fOltES.—.-A few nights back, as George Welfare, one of the con stables belonging to the Town Hall, Southwark, was going his customary rounds, he met two well-know characters in Friar-street, t. George's fields, who seemed to be concealing something, and endeavouring to avoid him. The officer stopped them, and found a bundle in the posses sion of one of them, which contained no less than 137 copper rings and ship bolts; seemingly Go vernment stores, as they w ere all marked with the broad SY row. He questioned them as to the manner in which they became possessed of them : but obtaining no satisfactory answer, lodged them both in the Cotnpter ; and after some in quiry discovered that the property had been stolen from Deptford Dock-yard. 'l' he prisoners, whose names are James Sellison and Thomas, Poat, were yesterday examined before Alderman J. J.. SMITH, and fully committed for trial. ROBBERY OF THE SKIFTON AND MAtr. Poser.—About half-past four o'clock on Saturday •mornin7„ - the horse-post, which conveys the letters from Burnley to Skipton, was stopped at a place called Snaygill, about three quarters of a mile from Skipton, on the Burnley-road, by two men. One seized the horse's bridle ; the other struck the rider some tremendous blows with' a bludgeon over the arms, which disabled him from holding the horse, or making any re sistance. They also struck him over the head, which stunned and much injured him, but did not succeed in dismounting him. They tore the left side of his•coat quite down, and took from his left pocket• a parcel, as under, from the Cra ven Bank, addressed to " C. Tattersall and Sons, of Burnley," containing 1 !301. in one guinea notes, and 220 one pound ditto, all of the Craven Bank, and about 51. value in bank stamps, upon Barnard, Dimsdale, and Co. They attempted to seize the mail bags, and had - cut three straps, but did not succeed in. obtaining them, as theh3rse, by some mean 4, escaped from them, and, with his rider, returned back to the Skipton post-office. The ,alarm was soon given, and the same day, a man was taken up on. suspicion of being concerned, but no property was found upon trio,.--- (Leech Intelligencer.) HOUsEBREAKIN,G.—About three weeks ago, the house of Mrs., Caddel, an-aged ,and wealthy Lady, who resides at Ladybank, near Girvan, North Britain, was broken into by two fellows, With their faces blackened, who forced open the kitchen window. Thee' looked intosthe kitchen bed where the servant girl when one of them exclaimed with an oath that there was no one in it, and they proceeded towards the apartment of Mrs. Caddel, who had got up on hearing the noise below. On their entering her bed room, they met Mrs. Caddel at the door, when one of the fellows repeatedly pushed her down ; at this tune it is supposed they had got alarmed by the approach • cf some of the neighbours, to whom the girl had run for assistance, as they immediately made off, leaving Mrs. Caddel much bruised by her falls. During the whole proceedings neither of them uttered a word. Upon the night of Monday seinnight a second attempt was made, no doubt by the'sanie villains, who again broke the glass and wood work of the window; but tile girl being awakened by the noise gave a loud scream,. which scared them, and they made their re, treat from the premises; but such was their audacity, that they returned a third time, about 3 o'clock in.the morning, and pushed - open the window shutter. A man who was procured to sleep in the house got up, and arming hiMself with a bill. hook:stood by the side of the window to receive them, but it is uresumed they had got a sight of him and his weapon, as they aid not chobae to risk an entrance. The Sheriff and Procura tor Fiscal went to Ladybank on Saturday last, and took a pre. cognitior, but nothing was elicited to attach guilt to any one. [THE TIMES.] Whatever the fabricators of frightful intel ligence in the South of Ireland mpg think, we I R F. N kNIGFITING 'OF TILE LORD MAYOR or nt. 7 1,11N. k'FI I O 2,I THE nvitLlN MOUNINO POST OF MONDAY LAST.) The offer of Knighthood is, we understand, al most of course on an occasion when the Lord Mayor an entry. d Corporation, Itwas offered o n the in a body, ma k e part o f a present occasion, and has been accompanied by a recom mendation to a Baronetcy. This circumstance has caused a considerable sensation. Many of the lower class of the Orange:nen have considered it as expressive of something like partiality to illiberal principles; on the other hand,. several Catholics apprehend that it is a symptom of dis- regard to their feelings. 'We can assure our rea ders, from, undoubted authority, that it is neither ' the one nor the other - The fact is just this : Shortly after the procession arrived at the Castle, the Lord Mayor stated to Mr. Blake, that he was prevented from accepting the honour of Knighthood by a regulation of the Corporation, by which', when the Sheriffs were knighted, the Mayor was directed to look for a higher honour. Mr. Blake, who is a Catholic, felt that he had an opportunity of evincing a de gree of liberality which would furnish a strong contrast to the narrow and selfish policy of the Dublin Corporation. Although, Catholics have, for nearly thirty years, had a right to their free dom in this Corporation, not one Catholic has as yet been admitted. Actuated by this generous senti ment, Mr. Blake yromptly replied, that he would represent the matter to the Marquess Wellesley, and if his good offices could have any influence with his Excellency, that the Lord Mayor's wishes should be complied with. Accordingly Mr. Blake took the first opportunity of mention , ing the facts to his DXcellency, adding on his own part a respectful solicitation on behalf of the Lord Mayor. The reply was in substance, that the Lord Lieutenant would be happy to comply with Mr. Blake's request, and the result was, that the Lord Mayor was knighted, with an assurance that he should be recommended for a Baronetcy. Thus the Protestant Lord Mayor of Dublin is indebted to the interference of a Ca tholic Gentleman for the readiness with which a high honour is conferred upon him. .. Our statement may not be accurate in all its, details ; but it is certainly correct in substance, and our readers may rely upon it, that we have sufficient authority for what we assert• on this subject. We trust, therefore, that anyunfounded triumph on the one side, or unnecessary jealousy on the other, will yield to a certainty, that the promotion of the Lord Mayor has nothing poli tical in it ; it having originated in the courtesy of the Lord Lieutenant towards the city of Dub lin, and been effected through the medium of the liberal and generous sentiments of a Catholic Banister towards the head of a Corporation, hi therto rather noted for its selfish and intolerant practices,! (FROM FREIMAN'S DUBLIN JOURNAL OF THE SAME DAY ) A communication has reached us, to which we deem it expedient to give the earliest publicity, lest a misrepresentation of the fact upon which it is founded may furnish a subject of rejoicing to the lower class of Orangemen, or of unreasonable jealousy to the more enlightened class of the community. The circumstances by which the Lord Mayor came by a Knighthood, and the promise of a Baronetcy, ore simply these. As soon as the procession reached the Castle, :his Ex.cvneney conferred the Honour of Knighthood on the Lord Mayor; but his Lordship intimated to Mr. Blake, the Catholic Barrister, that the Sheriffs had been knighted; and that on such oc casions it was customary for the Lord Mayor to look for a higher honour. Mr. Blake generously acted from the impulse of the moment, 'and re presented to the Marquis Wellesley the sugges tion of his Lordship. The Noble Marquis then kindly added the promise, of recommending him for a Baronetcy. Thus a LOrd Mayor of Dult lin, and a Lord Mayor, in the composition of whose character, liberality is no distinguishing ingredient, is indebted to the generous recom mendation of a Catholic Gentleman, for the ho nour'that he has received. In - this favour it is evident there is nothing pt litical ; in it there is nothing that can possibly be *7onstrued into an I approval of the past conduct of the Lord Mayor: indeed we have. some reason for asserting that I Lord Wellesley was not apprised of any thing that Mr. James (we beg pardon, Sir Kingston James) may have done to constitute him a Per -5011 of political interest to any party in this ' country. lie recognised him only as the Chief Magistrate of the Metropolis of Ireland . , and if any other motive be even insinuated, we have an abundance of proof before us to disprove the in sinuation'. We perceived the Shamrock exhibited at the heads of the horses of the Noble Marquis's tra velling chariot, and the same emblem of his na tive country was worn in the breast by all his suite.—(Dublin Morning Post.) [From the Cork Morning Intagencer of December 29'.1 ATROCIOUS FABRICATION. At an early hour on Thursday morning, Mr. James O'Brien one of the Coroners of this County. received a letter, of which the following is 0 copy, purporting to be from a highly respectable Magistrate of Charleville " Charlevflle, Dec. 23. " A most atrocious murder has been committed ha►e this morning. A whole family of the name of Whitestone, consist ing of no less than five in number, being all burnt in , their house. We have apprehended :s it person from whom much im portant information is expected ; lint it being necessary that an inquest should be holden, I: request you will not lose a moment in coming here." In obedience to this summons, and the prompt discharge of his duty, Mr. O'Brien immediately proceeded to Charleville ; and as the story tran spired during the day, as may naturally be sup posed, it excited considerable dismay, and great anxiety was evinced for Mr. O'Brien's return, particularly as no other letter was received, or person who arrived from that part of the county, alluded to, or had heard ofsuch an occurrence. — It is now out pleasing duty, whatever sentiments it may cause towards the infamous author, to confirm the hopes that had been indulged, and to state that Mr. O'Brien returned to this city at a late hour last Evening, after having' ascertained that the letter was a forgery, and had .an inter view with the respectable Gentleman whose name Printed and Published, for the PROPRIETORS, at the St!
