r i r i I E 140 NDOIN 0 URNALS. EXTRACTS FROM DULY MORNING PAPERS, Avgust 152`2., [MORNING! POSI 4 .I' received, last night, Paris Papers to the 25th inst., the contents of which are somewhat remarkable: It is announced that" a camp is about to be formed at Lyons, and that 10,000 troops, destined to form part of it, were expected to arrive with, the least possible delay." For what purpose so powerful an armament should be - wanted in that quarter, if all the late rumours of apprehended danger were without foundation, it is difficult at present to imagine: A short time, however, will doubtless enable us to develope the mystery. - These Papers are for the most part fill6d With the interrogations of the indivi duals charged with conspiring at La Rochelle, and from' the nature of. the evidence hitherto produced, it would' really appear that the plot was one of those expedients adopted by the Police to implicate'and get rid of men who are suspected of being still attached to' the ancient order of things. [NEW TIMES.I . Last night we received via Liverpool, accounts from the West Indies to-a late date, stating, that intelligence frOm the Western Coast of South America had reached there, announcing a revo lutionary attempt in Chili. Though the letters received speak positively - to< the;,-fact, there is a want of detail in the accounts,..Which, joined to other circumstances, induces us to- think, that, if not absolutely false, they at all events rest on very slight foundations; and may have arisen from the sailing of an Expedition which was understood' to have left Valparaiso in April, to reduce the small remaining Spanish force in the southern part of the territory. The only'specifie date mentioned in these accounts is the 17th of May, a period certainly some days later than any, thing mentioned in former intelli-, gence ; the last notice: from Valparaiso • being that brought by the, Constellation American frigate down to the 7th bf . May, .at which time every- thing was perfectly ,tranquil. The only circumstance which has come to our knowledge at all confirmatory of 4 ! his statement is aletter from Portsmouth, mentioning that one of the small vessels out of that port had spoken.a West Indiaman hi the Channel, whose Captain said that such accounts had reached-_ Jamaica at the time he left; hyt asthere• doubt of such, accounts liaVing been received in the West Indies, it in no way alters .the main fact. On the whole we are inclined to discreditthe,.patements. alto gether; but if any attempt . has - been made, it is very improbable, from• the settled . state of Chili, both interior and exterior, that it can be success ful to any_ . considerable ex,tent. NnE TIMES. Various circumstances contribute to attach an uncommon degree of anxiety and apprehension to the choice of a substitute for Lord London derry, and there is another question, scarcely less momentous, viz, the fitness of those by whom the choice will be made to exercise a discretion of so much delicacy and importance, at least if that is to be intrusted to his Lordship's col leagues. During the feW weeks before the death of Lord Londonderry,. it is now in evi dence that he was not master of himself ; it was observed . by more than one spectator and ac quaintance, that his faculties were deserting him, ,yet, although Cabinet Councils were held within a- short week of the melancholy act of self-de struction; it does not appear that so much as a doubt ever suggested itself to any one of those who sat in deliberation with him, whether he was in a state of mind fitting him to be intrusted with the important duties of his office. It is confessed that the fact of Lord Londonderry's decayed un derstanding,. though not duly adverted to by his brethren., or'guarded against in the way of reme dy or precaution with any view to the national welfare, was plainly visible to more than one among them, long before that distressing catas trophe took place. Mrs. Robinson, who lived in the family, and who. appears ,on the face of the' proceedings before the Coroner to have been an intelligent and observant woman, says distinctly that " many circumstances induced her to believe '' that her Lord had been out of his mind for a 4 ' fortnight ; that during that period his whole Ct manner had changed from suavity and mildness 44 to sharpnesiand severity ; and that during the 44 last fortnight lie used to say that every one had '‘ conspired- against him." We put it to any rational being whether a revolution such as this— a•manner which had been habitually distinguished for gentleness. and attention to the feelings of others, changed into rigour and morosenesss—a mind, also, constitutionally unsuspicious and in trepid, devoured by the most terrible fears of conspiracy against him,—could, for a whole fort nighttogether, have escaped the eye of those who were transacting public business with his Lordship,. unless their unfitness was equal to his own.. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] It was observed of the Dutch, at the breaking out of the French Revolution, by one of our political writers, " that a people exclusively commercial . :be,comes a nation of egotists. The spirit of their - pursuits is competition, not junc tion ; the interests they pursue are private, not public. Hence -the . public spirit becomes effete and languid. Self-interest becomes the passion which swallows up all the rest ; or the exclusive care and the:f.ear for a man's self ;, and this self intereit is .not, of the . enlightened and rational kind, but the, passion is in a distempered state, bloated into a diseased magnitude,. and thence lieavy and inactive ;.and to this. state the eXclusive pursuits bf commerce had reduced the noble public spirit which animated . Holland a century and a half ago ;''.an.d this passage is followed by a quo- tation from Fergusson, to shew that 44 if -the in diridual be left to pursue his private adValltage, we may find-him become efferninate,mercenary,and senSnal." We have transcribed this ' passage, because we know that the idea has become very general on. the continent that commercial dealings have given a character of nage selfishness both to ourselves and the Dutch, and our neighbours think-they find in it a solution for our present apathy respecting the Greeks. We believe, on the contrary, that commerce is rather productive of a spirit of liberality ; and the immense sums which are frequently raised by subscription from traders and tradesmen, both in Holland and Britain, for purposes of benevolence, sufficiently prove this. Constant employment, too, keeps the mind in a sound and vigorous state. — We should suppose that those whose minds are not exercised by some regular avocation, and who being freed froth the- necessity of applica tion, naturally betake themselves to the pursuit of pleasure and enjoyment, are the persons in whom selfishness will be found to have the greatest ascendency. We believe, therefore, that the upper classes of society are proportionally less generous than the industrious classes, and that consequently liberality will generally be in the inverse ratio of the preponderance in any country of Aristocracy. Apply, for instance,- for subscriptions to the Gentry of Ireland (the most genuine Aristocrats we - have in the three King doms), and apply at the same time to the traders and tradesmen of such towns as London, Liver pool, Glasgow, and Belfast, and if the result do not confirm the above view we • are much mis taken. We demur, therefore, to the doctrine that commerce is productive of selfishiness. [BRITISH PRESS.] All speculation upon the probability of Mr. Canning's appointment to a seat inthe Cabinet is terminated by the nature of "the speech de livered by the Right Hon. Gentleman at the dinner given to him in Liverpool on Friday last by the members of the Canning Club. Mr. Canning, we are told, 46 spoke for about half an hour, principally on the subject of his pro posed departure for India."_ it is therefore seemingly determined by the Right Hon. Gentle man and his political friends, that he shall pro ceed to take upon him the duties of the supreme government of India, and resign the only chance that probably will ever be offered to him of ascending the proud height to which his early ambition was especially directed. We are far from pretending to think that Mr. Canning is properly qualified to manage the foreign rela• tions of this Empire ; but in the dire lack of talent that now distinguishes the Ministers and their party, we have little hesitation in regard ing Mr. Canning as by many degrees the ablest man who sits on the Treasury Bench.— We further think it likely that Mr. Canning is better fitted by previous study, his habits of thinking, and the general character of his mind, for the Foreign Office in Downing street, and the attendant displays of parliamentary eloquence, than for the government of our Indian possessions. For some short time previous to the late Queen's trial Mr. Canning was President of the Board of Controul, in which office he might possibly have picked up some general notions of the state affairs in India, and of the prin ciples of policy which have been handed down from time to time through a long succession of Governors. He might have ascertained the points where friendship or hostility should with most advantage be evinced, and have acquired some degree of familiarity with the names, if not the characters, of the most prominent actors in the scene of Indian warfare or diplomacy. But, beyond this superficial knowledge, what prepa ration can Mr. Canning be supposed to have had for a situation totally distinct from any in which he has.llitherto appeared ? To say that he is a man of excellent understanding and as well pre pared for the situation, as any of the noble and distinguished personages who have preceded him, gives no answer to this objection. It is the system of thus choosing for the high and import ant trust of .governing India individuals not pre viously qualified by habit or education for the charge that we censure. The government of that immense Empire is daily becoming more and more difficult, and requires a higher degree of delicacy, knowledge, and profound judgment, which can be acquired only by a deep and anxious study of the history, religion, laws, manners, and prejudices of the native population. [MORNING HERALD.] Most, if not all, the Anti-Ministerial News papers have been lately exercising their wit in disparaging, as much as possible, the talents of the Duke of Wellington, as applied to a new character, which some say he is about to fill, namely, that of a diplomatist at the ensuing Congress. Now we remember that at the time of the trial of Queen Caroline, these very news papers were loud in' their complaints, and justly, of the Ministerial part of the news papers, for writing long and severe leading arti cles respecting .the crimes of which that unfor.• tunate Queen was accused, and the universal cry of those Anti-Ministerial Papers then was, " What ? condemn the Queen before she has been tried ? " On various other occasions, too, when it suited the purpose of these writers, they have continually talked of the impropriety of saying any thing of aperson put on his trial, or about to be put on his trial. But now, before the Duke has been put on his trial, or before there is even any certainty of his being ap pointed . to the Office in question ; and, be cause these writers think that the attempt to lower the Duke in the estimation of the people of England, generally, will gratify and ptease a certain proportion of his Majesty's subjects, they all join in the hue and cry, as it were, and pronounce the Duke to be incompetent, 'principally on the grounds, that he has not a suf ficient command of tongue and temper to be what is 'called a diplomatist; which means nothing more than one, deputed from one Government to another, with certain conditions to be agreed to, or not, as circumstances may arise. Now we cannot see any thing so very puzzling in being appointed to an office of this description ; nor do we think that it requires such a= smooth tongue, or such an elegant address, as these anti-ministerial Papers talk. so much about. It strikes us that, in all negociations, whether of a public or a private nature, much must depend on the commanding attitude of the country sending. unegociator, If England at preffelit is allowed to be strong, in comparison with other European nations, who will also have their Representatives at the Con gress about to be held, the negociator appointed by England need neither to be smooth-tongued, or possessed of much insinuation, or as it is called, address. England's strength would be his best backer. If England were weak, for instance, as weak as Italy or Denmark are, in comparison with Russia and Austria, then all the smoothness of tongue and insinuation of all the celebrated Italian negociators, who lived a century or two since, would be of no avail. In fact, she would stand just as good a chance of averting the storm which is preparing for Tur key, as if she sent no diplomatist at all. FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR.—I have the pleasure to inform you, that a general feeling of commiseration exists among the tradesmen, workmen, and gen tlemen's servants at the west end of the town, in behalf of the persecuted, scourged, tortured, every thing but crucified, innocent Tilos. BYRNE; at which feeling I rejoice, not only as it proves their charitable disposition, but their abhorrence and indignation at the cruelty and crime of the monstrous Bishop. I have been applied to by a most respectable body, to attend a Meeting, on Wednesday, Sept. 4, at eight o'clock in the even ing, at the Vernon's Head Tavern, North And ley-street, Grosvenor-square, to promote the sub scription arready commenced for the poor man's benefit, with which application I shall most cheerfully comply. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, la, Bridge-street, Aug. 24. J. M'. PARKINS.. POOR BYRNE. (Front the Dublin E`vening'Heralcl;~ Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins, with a zeal that becomes him in the cause of suffering innOcence,' has called a meeting to take poor. Byrne's case into cOnsideration. It was to. he held yester day, " at the White Lion public house, St. • Alban's-place f St. James's, kept by the honest man, Edward Dee, through whose intrepidity and' abhorrence of Bishop Jocelyn's abo minable conduct, the public is indebted, not only to him for his courage in exposing the monster, but to his.integrity for having refused, to my" certain knowledge (says Mr. Parkins) an enormous sum of tnOnCy,' to purchase his conscience or lerice." This notification appears in the London Morning Post, in which it seems to have been published gratuitously. The London Morning Post is quite a Court paper—and we espe cially mention its services in the cause of poor Byrne, to show the Court Papers here, real as well s as mommal, the probability of their having gone a little farther than was required, in the unfeeling work of hiding this ppor man's - wrongs, and by that means extinguishing (as far as in them lay) his chances of re:, paration and sympathy. We have been applied to, on the part of a highly respecta, ble merchant at Manchester, for information relative to Byrne, and we are gratified to be able to ? state, that. subscription is to be opened in that great town, and that the contributions are likely to be liberal. We can say with great truth, from all we can learn or observe, that this all but crucified man," as Mr. Parkins calls him, is a very likely person to make good use of any opportunities of emerging from indigence which luck or public benevolence may, throw in his way. He is strictly sober, well conducted, and industrious, and has been always remarkable for steadiness and application to his hum ble duties. His wife, too, is a very decent. and intelligent woman—and a very remarkable attention has been paid to the morals, and even minds, of his children, for persons in their condition of life. The present ambition 'of thii humble but interesting family is, that the father should be put in posses sion of a coach and a pair of horges, to drive on his own ac count, and the mother placed in some small line of industry. One hundred pounds would, probably, realize all their golden dreams of happiness and prosperity. The Jocelyn family have yet done nothing for unfortunate Byrne. 'They have not, in tact, as yet had time to think of him ; 'in the interval between this and the horrid disclosure, it is no wonder that only one image had been present to their agonised minds. It is, however, of serious detriment to Byrne that the time is not ripe for an interference on their part; for the mischievous and absurd notion that relieving him will give them offence, will certainly prevail until the public mind is disabused by some overt act of their benevolence, and exertion for him will be proportionably neutralized and impeded. A five, or even a one-pound note, from any one bearing the name of Jocelyn, is a sort of license to every one .; to friends, ac quaintances, connexions, and all, to do what time-servers and humanity dictate in behalf of this wretched man. Until *is authority for the exercise of compassion appears, we do not ex pect to see done for Byrne half of what it would be reasonable to calculate upon, if there were no fear, or feeling of what is called delicacy to be combated. MR. PEEL. [From The ( Dublin ) Correspondent} Mr. PEEL never had an opportunity far the full development of his diversified talents and surely it is unjust to estimate the powers of his judgment, the extent of his acquirements, or the exuberance of his eloquence, by any reference to his Parliamentary exertions in the limited dis-, charge of the duties of the office which he has so shortly occupied. Surely it is not by any hives tigation of the speeches which may have been made on topics connected with the office for the Home Department that any rational mind should come to a conclusion that Mr. PEEL would be unfit for the discharge of higher duties, or for the elucidation of those more important and more complicated subjects which concern the fate of nations. If Sir FRANCIS BURDETT should have made a frivolous charge against some gaoler, and if Mr. PEEL should have refuted the allegation with a briefness befitting the magnificence of the topic, is such a circumstance any reason for sup posing that Mr. PEEL, if he had a, proper oppor tunity,could not display greater powers of mind? Such a criterion would be unjust, and it has been selected by the Times because it is falla cious. The true mode of ascertaining the re lative merit of Mr. PEEL, even on such trivial topics, is to consider how his predecessors in the same office discharged the Parliamentary duties which were incidental to it. It is by a comparison with what they have done, that the public can immediately perceive the pre eminence of the present Secretary for the Home Department over all his predecessors in office during a century. But there is no necessity to compare his merits with the i talents or the ser vices of the illustrious dead, while a decisive op portunity is afforded of adducing a test which shews his superiority over the living, whether they be his colleagues in the Cabinet, or his co ordinates in Parliament. Whenever Mr. PEEL spoke on any question, what Member of the House of Commons was equal to him ? Compare his speeches during the last S ess i on w ith th e speeches of any Member of the Cabinet, or of any Member not in office of the same principles, and then his pre-eminence will become not only incoutestible, but gloriously decisive of his pe• culiar fitness to be the Leader of the House of Commons.

THE HAMPSHIRE REGATTA. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 25.—We last week expressed our. selves confident from the exertions that the Managing Com mittee of the Subscribers for the Portsmouth, Portsea, and Gosport Annual Regatta were making, in concert with the Owners of the Vessels and Boats which were entered, that, provided the weather should be favourable, the admirers of Nautical skill would, on the days of the Regatta, be highly gratified. Ahd we have now great satisfaction in stating that our most sanguine expectations have been more than realized. Thursday and Friday were days in all respects finer than were ever beheld, for a trial of ability in Cutter and Boat Sailing. At an early part of each day, the Water abreast of the Platform, Southsea, and Haslar, was covered with Yachts and Boats of every description, in continual motion, filled with distinguished and highly respectable parties ; all of whom seemed delighted with the scene that surrounded them ; and the breeze, though sufficiently commanding for the Sailing Matches, did not in the least a_gitate the Sea, so that the smallest boaf was navigated with the same safety as the largest and best appointed Yachts ; and the elegantly dressed Ladies who crowded them, remained both days the whole time cruising about, without being in the least incommoded, either from sea spray or the least unpleasant motion. Similar delight was manifested by an immense assemblage on the Platform and Ramparts, and on Southsea, contiguous to the Subscription Promenade Rooms, and on the Gosport shore, at Blockhouse Fort, &c.— In the front of the Promenade Rooms, at Southsea, the Sub scribers made Purses, for juvenile sailors, who were stimulated thereby to put their powers into action, by sculling with one scull, in small boats, along the Shore, for a given distance,which afforded much amusement to the company there situated, in ad dition to the more grand operations appointed for the respective days. The first day consisted of three matches—the first of sailing wherries of the first class; and seven very superior boats started and went round the course twice, in a style not to be surpassed. —They came in in the following order : Hero, Smith I Sovereign, Burford I Bang Up, Owen Packet, Little Ox, Jeffery Turkish Knight, Passels jno, Coote. The next Match was between six vessels, from 13 to 23 tons, which, after a hard contest, came to the point of decision in the following rotation : George and William, Judd Four Brothers, Harvey Fox - - Morgan I Mary - Wood Favourite - Grinder Frolic - Lovell The last Match of this day was by Rowers, and consisted of seven boats, and the jolly Watermen ended their labours in the following order : Fanny, Fernell James, Macdonald I Dapper, West Snail Castle, Harcus I Emma, Robinson I Aim, Beer Maygower . __ - Salter. The Second Day the Matches were also three, and equally well contested, consisting, first, of nine sailing wherries of the second class, not exceeding 25 feet in length, which was de cided as follows : Dart, Elliot Industry, Baron I Dart, Bailey Camelion, Knight Charlotte, Grubb Spectator, Pound Mary, Judd Challenger, Giles The second for this day was a well contested Sailing Match of nine vessels under 13 tons, which returned in the following rotation : James and Mary, Robinson Rectitude, Wood George the Fourth, Robinson Night Owl, Gawn William & Edward, Burnett Exmouth, Diaper Commerce, March Olive Branch, Parsons Rocket, Garrett This splendid Regatta conchided with an interesting match between five vessels of the First Class, being from 23 to 35 tons, and greater exertions and skill were never manifested.— Afteryassing round the Horse, the buoy of the Edgar, and a boat oil ' the Kicker, twice, they finished as under stated : Accommodation, Judd I King's Fisher, Saunders Mary, Baker I Cygnet, Groves James and Jane, Cromwell. _ It is but justice to observe that 'we understand the Master of the Cygnet was disappointed in some sails, and the James and Jane met with an accident, in breaking her peak halyards, which necessarily placed them considerably in the rear of the three others. The following Noblemen and Gentlemen attended in their Yachts, viz. Duke of Buckingham, Earl Spencer, J. Fleming, Esq. 111. P., Sir George Thomas, Sir G. Leeds, Sir J. H. Whitshcd, Mr. Maxey, Mr. T.
