t'riL 1: 1 U.N11014 U. 11.-1,4 DA 1 , LI : : EXTRACTS FROM Tl fl TtIORNING PAPERS, January :5, 1522. • • .• [BRITISH PRESS.] The" accounts through Vienna from Constan- . iikoopie. are' of so late a date as the 29th of No vember-, and•as these ate'wholly silent Upon the • subject of the pretended insurrection of the Ja taissaries, they falsify, by inference, the report of the revolution, and of the death of the Sultan. — is -~indeed, admitted in tile Vienna Papers, that ti..e report originated in that:city for the purposes of stock-jobbing. The •Turkish capital, however, has not enjoyed undisturbed tranquillity : .ex ces.des of the worst character have been com mitted, and the Pars- of the Christian inhabit ants have been kept constantlfalive by the fre quent buntings and ." plunder of • houses. The death of Haled Effendi, the . Obnoxious favourite , of the Grand Seignor; is again mentioned. The head .of this.person, and•those of two Ministers, are said to have been, thrown •to the JRlliS narief; 'but the report is discredited . in the very moment of its utterance. The Turks seem still resolved on war. The English Ainbassador, 'not deterred by. the ill success of, his former ne gociations with the Porte, - but .being- still de iitons to preServe the . peace,of 'Europe,, and the Turks themselves fr o m in evitable destruction, offered a further memorial of advice and remon strance to the Divan, but on the 27th the Reis -Effendi caused it to be returned. -This might be cdnsidered as almost tantamount to a declaration of war, and it is probable that in this light it is esteemed by all parties. 'Every circumstance, indeed, already bears the impress of' a Warlike disposition. The Turkish Government has ad vanced fresh troops to Jassy, and the Russian artillery has crossed the Dniester and advanced towards the Truth. [NEW TIMES.] The Paris Papers which have arrived, to Tues day inclusive, contain little that is interesting on ;French politics. The Ministers appear to be pro ceeding calmly in the arrangements of office and other matters preliminary to the more distinct avowal of the line of policy which they intend to pursue. By a Royal Ordinance, the direction of the personnel of the War Department is entrusted to Lieut..-Gen. Count de Coetlosquet. This officer is not quite forty, years of age. He entered young into the army, and served with distinction under Buonaparte. In 1813' he obtained the command of. the Bth Regiment of Hussars, and the same year was made a General of Brigade, being re rnarkedno less for his bravery than for his skill in Military manceuvres. , In 1814, after the first restoration, he was appointed by Louis XVIII. Commandant of the Department of the Nievre. During the hundred days he retained his senti ments of loyalty to his Sovereign, and resisted the agents of Buonaparte both at Nevers and at Orleans : here be organised the Royalists in such a manner as to enable them efficaciously to prepare the way for the second Restoration. — Immediately after that -event took place, he was pitched upon as a proper person to be employed .zin_a Mission by the King to the Rebels who still held - OUt_in the West and the South,•which office he discharged with great ability ; and as a reward for his important services, was made one of the Aides Majors-Generaa.2: of the Garde Royale. [THE TIMES. An express received by us yesterday from Faris enables us to present the public with the substance of the new project tendered by the new Ministers for the government of the-Press. Before we. bestow, its we must, our unqualified disapprobation upon the measure proposed, we shall frankly acknowledge also, the difficulty of offectin c ,v that in which these Ministers have so la -naentably failed—riamely, in establishing • a new law, for the press, which shall unite a - majority of suffrage in its favour. The clause in the Address upon which the last Ministers were defeated, re lated to the foreign policy of France: "It was " hoped that the continuance of peace had- not " been purchased by the loss of national honour." BS the new servants of the Grown 'certainly gave a pledge that they would dispense with the censorship: this they have done, as a man would get rid of the doctors by killing- the patient. 'fie liberty of• the 'press would not merely be fettered, it would be ,-ipso facto, extinct, by such a,law as that now proposed. A Ministry, pos sessing the, stnne opinions as that of the present ultra Royalist . Ministry of •France,' should have held forth no such expectation as • that of dis pi,nsing with the censorship. It is- inconsistent v:iith their principles to - allow of a free press ; and they should have been aware, with respect to the censorship, that " none but itself is - fit "—to be its substitute." Indeed, all France; kowing their hostility - to unfettered - discus. sion, wondered what measure they could - pos.: Wily, devise ,which should .give effect :to - their opinions, sufficiently fetter the press, end yet appear less odious than the censorship. •When die- tyrants of- Europe first invented the lisw of censorship, it is not to be c;snceiveds that they- intended to- aggravate, by needless insult, the heavy injury which they inflicted . on the human mind : they meant to control, as they th - ought their safety required, the free exercise 01 reason, with as - little offence as possible to the feelings of their s ubjects':•and,.diabolical as the censorship is, it yet - effects its purpose' 'with less • clamour, and in a more unobtrusive manner; than anfother -project that has yet been Invented.

SaUrin from this high office, is the death. of o.r46Keism in Ireland. SOme other changes will take*, place, and . o'e learn from one of Our Oublin.correspondents that the jobbers are se ritusly Alarmed.'

The violent of either-side will be ex' eluded, and thoSe views which the King deve loped in his admonitory letter, will constitute the guiding principle of the Irish Administration. Mr. Plunkett, Mr. O'Connell; and Mr. Blake, are constantly occupied in arranging the provi sions of the Catholic Emancipating Bill; but difficulties have occurred. We tretst, however, that no important difference among the' parties will obstruct the final adjustment of a measure of such vital consequence to Ireland, as the conciliation of men whose political and religious quarrels have so long distracted their country, and rendered the fairest portion of the Empire the abode of wretchedness. Mr. O'Connell, whose conduct deserves the highest praise, will concede much to ensure repose, and certainly, neither Mr. Plunkett nor Mr. Blake can be ac cused 'of bigotry—we therefore anticipate the amicable arrangement of some points, which may be considered rather speculative objects than mat ters of substantial importance. [MOIINING : POST.] French Papers to the 2d inst. arrived yester day. They contain intelligence of considerable importance, which makes it appear that the ques tion of war and peace is nearly decided, and that if hostilities have not commenced between the Russians and the Turks, it is because further preparations are deemed necessary by the former, in order to make the blow which they intend to strike as decisive as it will be terrible. Mean while, the cause of the Greeks - and of. their. allies is every where prosperous. The reported capture of Cassandra turns out to have been a snare which led to the destruction of the corps by which_ the works had been occupied, and occasioned the Paella, who 'was-already exulting in his fancied triumph, to fly back with the wrecks of his force to Salonica. Churschid Pacha, one of the most active and dangerous enemies of the Greeks, is said to have suddenly. disappeared, after some communications with Prince Ypsilanti, which, though represented as relating to the capture of his Harem at Tripolizza, may perhaps have been intended to serve, as an opening for negociations of another kind. The fact of such an overture having been made is, however, in itself .a proof that the horrid -atrocities, the murder of men, women, and children, said by the 'Correspondent of one of our Cotemporaries to have been com mitted during three whole days at that place, were. greatly exaggerated, if ilot totally false. —Had Churschid Pacha heard of such indis criminate slaughter, which he must have done as early as Ypsilanti, he would certainly not have offered to ransom his harem from captivity, for he' could have entertained no doubt of its having fallen the very first victim to the fury of the C reeks. Our contemporary exulted last night, in the " extraordinary -sensationi! produced by the accounts which it recently published, " re specting the enormities of the Greeks at' the cap ture of Tripolizza and Naiarin."' The sensation was Certainly as extraordinary as the accounts themselves. It was one of, disbelief and of won der, (not to use a harsher expression), not only at-the statements given, but at the triumphant tone with which they were put forward as hav ing been committed under ; the banner of the Cross, in evident contradistinction to the mild ness and 'holiness of the CreScent. This side blow at the Christian Religion was really what we had not expected - from-a quarter which we had hitherto considered as. not less disposedlo support the Altar - than the Throne. [MORNING EIERALD.] • It appears that considerable anxiety was ex cited at Madrid by a rumour that the best under standing did not exist between King Ferdinand and the Cortes. It would seem that the Resolu tion adopted by them in answer to his Message, was a surprise upon him. There is certainly some ground for alarm, even in the representa tions of thoSe Paris Journals Which are most fa- Vourable to the Spanish Constitution. It was the usage to receive. Deputations to.the Cortes, upon leave asked, without postponement. On the 18th, - the, Deputation bearing the answer of that As-, sembly, requested to he informed at what tithe it _would - be the King's pleasdre to . receive their. To (hid reilitest no answer was returned. On the 19th there . was Still no, answer ; but on the '2oth the' King's pleasure was signified for receiving , the Deputation.- There are different versions of the King's reply. Under every form, however, it appears laconic and diScontented. He says," I receive your Message.. The matter is important. will consider of It." In substance his answer could be no other, as the question, must, in the first instance, be referred to . the Council of State.— But the terms certainly might have been more gra 7 dons. It may be, that the recommendation of the Cortes to disMisi the Ministers was considered . too peremptory, and,an invasion of the preroga tive'orthe Crown. - IlutifAho,King of Spain bas , taken it-into his head to retain a Ministry stigma tized with a sentence of incompetency by almost the whole representation of his kingdom, be can only do so by reigning without the Cortes— . that is, by_ regaining the reins of . government as 'an . absolute Monarch. It is true, that in NaVarre and Arragon there are some bands of insurgents " of the faith," estimated, with und - isguised triumph, at 3,000, by the Paris but these would be a weak support indeed to King Ferdinand against the Cortes and 'the great mass of the kingdom. The sen timents and objects of these ," soldiers .of the faith" may be judged from their rallying cry— " Death to the. Constitntion!—Live.the King!— Live God_!-:—Live the Virgin!" There is a vague assertion of an engagement between then) and 'the. Constitutional tr:ions ; but it appears that .the Military. Commandants, to avoid the effusion of blood, had . surrounded . the main body .of the Insurgents in the neigh . , boUrhood of Pampeluna, and awaited .their surrendering at discretion. General Alava, the Commandant of Arragon, approached with a small force the town.Of Colpo, where,an actual ' cou'nter-revolntion hd'd taken place, and new authorities "of the faith" been appointed, De , .putations were sent out to treat with him ; but . the General ref Used all treating with rebels, en teredJ the town, and restored order without shed ding one drop of blood. IIIiti,I4IIGHAAI PITT CLuit (From the Birmingham and Lichfield Chronicle - 1 of January 3, scno The Eighth Anniversary of this Club was cele brated at the Royal Hotel in this town s on Fri- day last. A numerous and respectable assem blage of members sat down to an excellent din , ne', at five. o'clock. ISAAC SPOONER, Esq. in the Chair.—After the cloth was removed, " Non nobis domine," was finely sung. The Chairman then gave " Church and King," 4 4 the Royal lamily."—On proposing the toast to the me mory of Mr. PITT, Mr. SPOONER. said it had-been customary for the Noblemen and Gentlemen who had occupied the chair which he had the honour to fill, to-ad dress some observations to the .meeting illustra tive of the character of the great Statesman whose birth they were assembled to commemorate, or expressive of the perfect coincidence of the Chair man in the sentiments which animated the mem bers of the Club. In the present instance, Mr. Spooner said he should deem the custom more honoured in the breach than in the,observancß, .because it was not in his power,by any language, to add to the character of Mr. Pitt, and his opi nion of what the country owed to that great States man, was well known to be in unison with those of the Gentlemen who were there assembled. In one respect the present occasion might be said to differ from any which' had preceded it, inasmuch as each succeeding year gives us the power of forming,a more correct judgment how far the view which Mr. Pitt took of passing events with reference to future consequences, had been borne out and justified by the experience of facts. Mr. S. then alluded to the French Revolution, and said the principle which Mr. Pitt advocated was, that not only the integrity, but the very existence of the country as an independent nation, depended upon resistance to those revolutionary principles which had overthrown every ancient institution of France,and threatened,if unopposed,to involveone glArter of the globe in common ruin and' devas tation. He foresavi that the sway of a mob, dis guised tinder the specious and ill-applied terms of liberty and the rights OP man, would ulti mately terminate in a military despotism, under which every recognised form of Government, every protection for property, public or private, which revolutionary anarchy had spared, would be swept away. We had Tv the benefit of 25 years experience by whicti-''to judge whether Mr. Pitt was justified in the opinion which he had early formed of the progress of the Revolu tion in France, and its probable consequences, as applied .to other nations. Mr. S. then tasked what would have been the state of England, or indeed of all Europe, if England, instead of being firm to those principles of resistance to France, which Mr. Pitt first developed and acted upon, had relied for safety upon treaties of peace, dic tated by that power in all the pride of conquest of the greater part of Europe, treaties which would have held binding so long only as an ad herence thereto suited the convenience of those who dictated the terms. England in that case had long- ere this ceased to be an independent Nation, and would have bkome a Province of France ; of that very Country one half of Which in former, times our ancestors had ever= with victorious arms. The history of the Country, however, would have remained, and- pointed out to its degraded inhabitants, that England was once a Nation, jealous of its independence, proud of its honour, for near three centuries the arbi tress of the -fate of Europe, possessing every means of sustaining its character and rank' among nations, and weak enough to surrender all its strength and forfeit all its high advantages, by yielding to the councils of those, who held re sistance to the power of France to be nugatory. That We 'have not been compelled to drink this bitter cup of humiliation to the very dregs,we owe, said Mr.S.under Providence l, to the compeehensive mind of Mr. Pitt, and to the political conduct of those who, since his lamented death, with one short interval, have, directed the counsels of this country: . It was true, said Mr. S. that in fol lowing the line which Mr. Pitt chalked out, we have been called upon to make great sacrifices, and to bear heavy burthens, which will still press opon us ; but, said he, every comfort of which we still partake; every particle of property which we still possess, that national independence of which we are still proud, every ancient and ho nourable instittition in Church or State which we still venerate, havebeen won by those sacrifices and Purchased by thoSe burthens. Such 'Mr. S. considered to be the sentiments of the members of the Club'; such were his opinions, strengthened by every year'S reflection on the events which had passed ; and . he concluded by giving " The Immortal Meniory of the , Right lion. William Pitt." The following toasts were then given : The House of Munswiek ; may they. never forget the - princi' pies which seated them on the Throne of these Realms. The .Memory of George the Third, the Father of his People The Protestant Ascendancy. Lord Liverpool and his .ia.i.esty's Ministers. May the principles of Mr. Pitt always animate the Councils 'of Britain. The N'lemory of the Right Hon. Spencer Perceval. England's great Captain, the Duke of Wellington. The Rev. J. H. Sear in a few 'words proposed the health of the Chairman, and madt , some ob servations upon the able manner in which he had filled the chair, and the uniform and ef fective support which he had always given to the' principles of the Club. The toast was drank with a degree of enthusiasm we have never seen surpassed. The Chairman returned thanks for the honour conferred upon . him. The friends of Mr. Pitt throughout the United Kingdom. , The Land we live in, and may those who don't like it leave it. The PRESIDENT then proposed the health of Mr. Theodore Price, the Vice-President of the Club, which was drank with three times three. Mr. PRICE returned thanks, and in adverting to the public.spirit and e , :ample.of the great States man - whose birth they were met to commemorate, complimented the Club upon their manifestation of that spirit which constituted the effectiveness of the Club, and brought together so numerous an respeete'bie 1:,okly of them on the preseti't and similar &elisions. The Wooden Walla of Old England, and the Hearts of Oak which man them. The Liberty of the ricSs, without its Licentiousness. After the last toast, the CHAIRMAN rose and said that he was about to propose the health of a gentleman who had gratuitously given his time and his professional abilities to the Country and to the County of Warwick in particular, in de fence of the sentiment conveyed in the last toast. Gentlemen would at once anticipate the name of, and acknowledge the services rendered to society' by, Mr.! Clarke. More earnestly alive to the' high advantages to be derived from a free press, than those who made the liberty of the press the watchword of party, Mr. Clarke had stood forward the advocate of that freedom, by giving his professional assistance to curb the licenti ousness by which the liberty of the press was en. dangered. The sentiments of Mr: Clarke were well known to the Members of the Club, and they had an opportunity of seeing that his prac tice was consistent with the principles upon which he professed to act. The Chairman con cluded by proposing the health of N. G. Clarke, E.,q. which was drank with three times three. Mr. Cr.AnKE returned thanks in a speech re- plate with feeling.—We never heard him to greater advantage, and his observations were re. ceived with marked attention and applause by the Company. The 'Magistracy of the United Kingdom. The Landed and Commercial Interests of Great Britain, and may they never be separatfd. The health of 'Mr. George Barker, the Ho norary Secretary of the Club, was then pro posed, by the Rev. J. 11. SPRY, and drank with three times three. Mr. BARKER returned thanks fOr the very kind and flattering manner in which his services were noticed by the Club. The CUAIRMAN then said, that although hi►s Majesty had been once drank in the evening, coupled with the Church, the first standing toast of the Club, yet he conceived he was only giving expression to the ardent wishes of the Members, if he proposed the health of his Ma jesty King George IV. Ishich was drank with rapturous applause, and cheered with four times four. The Lord Lieutenant of the County. The Earl of Aylesford and the Warwickshire Yeomanry. The Vice-Lielitenant of the County of Stafford. - The Members for the County. The acting Magistrates for the Town of Birmingham. Prosperity to the Town and Trade of Birmingham. Several appropriate Glees and Songs enlivened the evening, and the Members separated at a late hour, much gratified with the proceedings of the day. • FUNERAL OF TIiECOUNTESS OF BESBOROUGII,— Saturday morning last, about ten o'clock, the re mains of the Right Iron. the Countess of 13E5- Bonoucif, and those of her infant grandson, the child of the Hon..WILLIAM F. S. PONSONBY, whose deaths (as we lately announced) took place in Italy in November last, arrived at Der by for interment in the family vault of the CAYEN DISH'S, in All Saints' Church. On entering the church, the procession was joined by the follow ing relatives of the deceased, who, with Lad V CA-1 ROLINE LAMB, had previously assembled at Darby on this melancholy occasion :—The Duke of D VONSHIRE, Lord DUNcANNON, . the Hon.. Wm. F. S. PONSONBY, the Hon. WILLIAM LAMB, and the Hon. SPENCER. These distinguished individUals fell into the procession immediately after the bodies, as .chief mourners, and were followed by the domestics, &c. After the ser vice was over, and the assistants retired from the vault, the distinguished mourners severally de scended into it, to pay their last tribute of af fection to the dead. Mrs. SALMON is making a tour of the northern , counties of England, from whence she will pro ceed to Edinburgh.—Madame CATALANI has. set out from Edinburgh. AN Ext . ..t.xT L ‘MBERT.—In a country village, about - 12 miles from Bristol, there is a child, whose present appearance bids fair to equal, if not surpass, the wonderful prodigy in Leicester. The child is only six months old, measures seven inches round the arm-wrist, and nine inches three quarters at the small'of the leg ; he is supposed to weigh between 40 and 501bs. He was quite a burden to be held long in the arms; appears lively and healthy, the flesh tirtn and hard, and is asserted by his mother to have commenced eat ing animal food at a fortnight old. He is the child of a country shoemaker ; his face and all his !hubs are in proportion but he does not vet _ . _ . walk.—(Dorchester Journal.) ATROCIOUS HIGHWAY It allllEßY.—Thurstiay night Mr. M,tRsTALL, of fishmonger's-alley, near the Town Hall, in the Borough, received a mes sage apprising him of the sudden and unexpected accouchement of his sister, who lived at Newing ton, and who being in imminent danger, wanted to see him before she died. Mr. M. set off with the messenger, at' whoSe - instance, to save time, he went across the -fields. When they had got some distance into the field, three men came up, one of whom struck Mr.. Marstall a desperate blow which knocked him down,and in an instant a handkerchief was forced into his mouth, and he was held pinioned to the ground till his pockets were rifled of his money and watch ; the villains then escaped, leaving him covered with blood. SUDDEN DEATH OF A Boy.—Yesterday. even ing an inquest was held before Mr. GRLL, at the Goat, Pimlico, on the body of an interesting little boy, aged 11, son of Mr. HIGGINS,'R re spectable inhabitant of Pimlico. It appeared, that on Thursday evening, about six o'clock, the deceased was taken with a pain in his head, and continued in that state until eight, when he re quested his nurse to let him get out of bed and lean his. head on' the bedstead. She complied with his wish, and thinking he would get better she . went down stairs; on her. return she found him kneeling by the bedside with his head between his hands, resting on the bed, a corpse. Ver dict—" Died by the Visitation of God." To add to the wonders of the last" wonderful year," a hare,'in the course of last week, was seen at noon quietly trotting up Hackney Ter race.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY FOR THE BANE OF ENGLAND. .. . . . Mintnoitouori-Se-nEET.—Yesterday a case of consider able importance, and which exldbited the alarming faCility with which forged notes, and-sovereigns, &c. can be procured, came.' on to be heard at this Office, before' 0: M. Int lt, - Esq. the sit ting Magistrate. John Tye, alias Job Jones, a man of shabby exterior, who bad the appearance of an ostler cued employment, was brought up in the custody of Kinsey, Goff, and Lawrence e three of the Lambeth-street officers, charged by them with being a iiEet.n, in forged notes, counterfeit sovereigns, &c. During the examination of the prisoner, a great number of individuals were lurking about the office, who were well known. td the officers as being connected with this extensive trafficewaite ing to ascertain the fate of their companion. It appears that the prisoner,. wee has been for a consi derable length of time known as a DEALER in forged notes, could not be properly traced until the present,instance, so as to 'be brought to Justice. - Information being received that he was trafficing to an alarming extent, Kinsey, the officer, was em ployed to make every diligent inquiry into the case, and, it possible ; to trace -t - he haunts Of the prisoner. This -- he accordingly did by 'the most active exertions, and found . out that he was in the habit of resorting to a public house in the neighbourhood of Goswell-street, City. road. Kimsey's next. object was to adopt such means as would try the extent to which theprisOner's depredations would becarrieu, and to put himself in possession of a mode Of entering the society of the prisoner ; but it being dangerous for him to do.so, he employed anean to disguise himself as a-baker,and in that garb he nightly visited the house where he resorted, and while in their society would - .pretend to be asleep e but would hiten attentively 0 the conver sation and proceedings of the visitors. He went there every .- 'night, and at length became one of 'them.selves in every thing but theilevil ways, and there was no doubt left, but the prsoncr . was involved deeply in what the Bank suspected him of,' as be was repeatedly seen to dispose of notes and sovereigns, the latter - of which would be witnessed by hat fulls. The Bank of tng, land was seldom used by the prisoner or his confederates; in thei course of the Conversation they .termed it the " Jug," and. a , 182eir p 5 : th rt t Y eVino : CRACK JUG, was where . a failure ,tople place. The parties fre. ' quenting the house, and handing the money pretty free's ' , would frequently indulge in the conversations concerning rob- beries and other offences, and were quite riessii .in their dlr.- course. • Whenever bad money was purchased, they would cell' dollars BASINS, half-crowns SAUCE n si and BASIN and. se uCE a sPoOefs, were terms for shillings and sixences. After hay ing gained a sufficiency of information, the: NOSE gave it - to Kinsey and Goff, the officers, whO took a female into their service merely to be instrumental hi bringing the prisoner or his associates to justice. She went to ' the public house • alluded to, and sat with' the parties, who divulged to her the mode in which they trafficked, and she consented- to purchase forged notes of the prisoner, who willidgly offered them to her . for sale ; she purchased a 51. note of hitneebr which she paid him a sovereign, and he. told her that-, he could - procure for her as.. many as she wanted,' from 51. up to lea; if she paid 2 guineas for a 101. note, and 4.for a 201. ; increeeingaa on to 1001. She said' she had not sufficient money to purchase more•than one .51., but if she had ANY LIT ex, she would cell the following day ; she accordingly called again, and met the prisenerett the appointed time, purchased another note, and aehird,• - the following day ; and in this way she was sere ed with a number of notes. The last one she purchased, she was. supplied with a sovereign to pay for it, which, was marked by Kinsey e.ahe purchased a note, and gave it to the officers, who went to - the house and apprehended the prisoner, whom they took to the Crown*, Clorkenwell-close, and searched him, when they found on his person a forged 51. note, and the sovereign (marked) and a bundle, of BASIN SPOONS. OA shillings) were found on him. They immediately brought him in .custody to this office for examination. The nick names of sovereigns could never be traced. by - . the cite:NE, but the manner in which they were purchased was this : They Were sold at seven shillings each in large quantities ; any body who wanted them should go in and do - nothing else but throw clown the money, and they. would be supplied; if four teen put d s o hli o t e w s o were sovereigns,tl trov.ei - a d n o d w s o y th , , e l p i e l r e s r ci t i:• t - .
