TIIE LONDON JOURNALS. F.XTRACTS PROM THE DkILY MOENING PAPERS,. May 10, 1822. [THE TIMES.] French papers of Tuesday arrived by express :ast night. They treat of past, and speculate on future wars. The late duel comes under the head of the former, and the affairs of Russia and the Porte under that of the latter. Certain re ports being afloat in favour of an amicable ar- Yangement of the differences between the Powers in question, such reports are dissatisfactory to the Comillatimid, the Editor of which even argues against the power of the Emperor of Rus sia to controul the zeal of his people and his armies for war. The debate on Mr. Canning's recent motion for admitting Catholic Peers into the upper House of Parliament occupies some columns of the Journal des Debais. There is also a Royal ordinance for the employment of mili tary force to put a stop to the conflagrations in the departments of the Oise, the Somme, and the Enre. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Turk; may well lend a deaf ear to their Christian advisers. They cannot conceal from themselves that /et them turn which way they will, there is a charged mine beneath their feet. The Russian preparations in one quarter—their Persian enemy in another—require to be met with corresponding preparations, while the indi genous population of their European Empire, equally brave with themselves, and tutored by European skill, is every where gaining the upper hand. Negociation might avail them, if they had not such a formidable enemy-as the Greeks on their hands ; but why should they in this state of things send a Plenipotentiary to Leghorn ? 1 t is, we understand, a rule with the Turks, never to uegeciate beyond their own territories ; but if they should depart from this rule, it would only add to the duration of the negociation, because every thing would have afterwards to be de liberated on at Constantinople. They know that while they might thus be negociating, the Greeks cannot possibly listen to any proposals for nego elation, even if their fresh recollection of the massacre of the inhabitants of the Morea, in vio lation of the most solemn treaty, about 30 years ago, occasioned by the interference of England, would allow them to trust to treaties, and that their destruction would be as inevitable from that quarter as from any other. [MORNING POST.] The consideration of the Agricultural Resolu tions was again resumed last night, in a Com mittee of the whole House. The final result we have‘no doubt will give general satisfaction, even to the landed interest; and, unquestionably, if the most patient investigation of the subject, and the candid discussion of every suggestion, from whatever quarter, ought to content the public, all classes will have reason to be so on this occa sion. It has indeed been the manifest study of ParliaMent to leave no means untried which pre sented any expectation of 'benefit, and only to adopt what might come out of the Committee well filtered and unexceptionable. Every propo sition was received, examined, and successively disposed of by a process similar to the scientific method of exclusions, till at last the true result was found. The Debate last night accurately -depicts this anxious solicitude to acs satisfactorily and usefully. Scarcely a new - view remained to be broached, but the details and bearings of those which had been previously advanced were scrupulously sifted to the very bottom. One ob jection, which several Members made in the course of the repeated Debates which have taken place, the Marquis of Londonderry set aside with his usual skill. It was argued that not withstanding such a high import price as 705., together with a duty of 12s. and also an ad ditional one of ss. per quarter for the first three months, the very low rate of grain over the con tinent would allow the importers, under those circumstances, an immense profit, and therefore our market would be liable to an extreme glut of foreign produce. [BRITISH PRESS.] The debate upon the Resolutions submitted to the of Commons for regulating the impor tation in foreign corn, was resumed again last night. The rejection on the previous night of the Resolutions proposed severally by Sir I'. Lethbridge and Mr. 13enett, enabled the House to bring its reasoning powers with more concen trated force to the two questions which should properly occupy its attention :—First, 'Whether the system of totally excluding foreign corn until the price . shall have risen to a certain average price, ought to be preferred to a free trade, subject to duties ? and second, What ought to be the extent specified in money, to which e protection, in either of these modes, ought to be carried ? Of the project of total exclu sion until the market price shall arise to a certain average amount, the Marquis of Lon donderry, as the organ of the Agricultural Committee, is the avowed champion ; while the advocates for a free trade, subject to duties, find their sentiments expressed with some shades of difference in the Resolutions of Mr. Ricardo and Mr. Huskisson. Mr. Ricardo, however, has given up his Resolutions, with the exception of the two last, in favour of those of Mr. Huskisson ; so tnat the discussion of last night was conducted with a direct or tacit reference to the relative merits of the plans severally proposed by the Marquis of Londonderry and Mr. Huskisson. [NEW TIMES.] It has been suggested by anlionourable Gen tleman that twenty millions of taxes might be repealed ! The extraordinary powers of intel lect by which this discovery in finance has been effected, are very far indeed beyond our weak conception....*They border on the sublime ; and, as a certain adventurer once said, " from the sublime it is but a step to the ridiculous." We can easily figure to ourselves the ridiculous part at this scheme. We can suppose its contriver dreaming that he is placed at the summit of 1 power as a Prime Minister of the country, and bringing forth his wonderful nostrum to cure all its ills. We think we see his face of distress and despair, on perceiving the consequences of his measure to he universal bankruptcy and ruin—all the relations of society dissolved—all its interests falling, in one common wreck, around him. He had attempted this grand scheme in order to save the rents of the landlords—and lo ! the Govern ment and Constitution are gone, which secured the title of the lands. By striking off twenty millions, he had rendered it utterly impossible to collect a farthing of the remainder. He had climbed to power on the applauses of a mob, and now the same mob is yellinz, in despair and star vation, to tear him limb from limb. Happy the dreamer, who can awake from scenes so appalling as these, to the comfortable feeling that he lives in a country whose Ministers have not learnt po litical economy in Bedlam ! [MORNING HERALD.] The recent publication of an exact copy of the Turkish Note of the 28th February, addressed to Lord Strangford, is of some importance—not only because it invests the document with a cha racter of exactness and authenticity, but from traits of difference between it and the publication some time since which professed to give its sub stance. The principal, however, if not the only essential point in which the republication differs from the other, is only the tone adopted towards Russia. We have looked through it with care, and find not a glimpse of concession.-- 7 A Ministerial Evening Paper of yesterday wholly misconceives, the Turkish Note, when it states that the Porte therein proposes to " rebuild the Christian churches, upon the return of tranquillity." What the Note says, k that the Porte " will permit the rebuilding of the churches, so far as the law (the Koran) al lows, upon the return of tranquillity"--which was exactly the statement of the first version. The other cardinal points are repeated substan tially to the same effect,—if we except that Russia is not openly charged with intriguing against the internal peace of the 'T urkish em pire—and that the Turkish Government re fuses to send an Ambassador to St. Peters burgh—not on the ground of having nothing to charge itself with, and nothing to fear, as stated in the former version, but on the ground that Turkey and Russia stand in the relation of friendly powers. The change of tone then is the only difference—and that difference seems to have had a considerable effect upon the political oracles which profess to know something of the secret both in this country and the Continent. i therto, even after the first intelligence of the note of the 28th, and up to this new version, the hopes of peace were represented as wholly dependent upon the success of the mediating Ambassadors in inducing the Divan to change its mind. And even the intemperate language at first ascribed to the Porte was urged as a ground for expecting a return to a more moderate and conciliatory po licy. It was represented that the Turks were the quarter against which the diplomatic bat tery was exclusively directed, whilst no one pre sumed to request the Emperor of Russia to qua lify his pretensions. Now, however, it would seem that the Turks have been abandoned, the diplomatic siege raised, and the expectations of peace suspended, from the Emperor Alexander's moderation and prudence—in fact, upon his ac ceding to the conditions of the Porte.

EDITOR—In my Fifth Letter I gave it as my opinion, and stated some, among many reasons, for having formed that opinion, that the present Insurrection or Rebellion is of a re ligious and political nature; nor, in the innu merable insurrections, rebellions, and conspi racies, that have occurred in Ireland, does the page of history furnish au instance of one of a contrary nature. From these causes there arose five Rebellions in Ireland in the space of seventy five years—Shane Q'Neal's in 1566—Desmond's in 1569—Tyrone's in 1595-o'Dog - herty's in 1608—and the Great Rebellion and Massacre in 1641. To these, indeed, may be added, the resistance of the cities of Cork, Lime rick, and Waterford, to the proclaiming King James I. in 1603, because he was a heretic, and had been denounced as such by Clement VIII. in a Bull sent to Ireland some time before his accession, as it required the presence of the Lord Deputy Mountjoy with an army to bring them to submission. There were besides three conspiracies providentially discovered and de feated ; the object of the first, in the year 1607, was to seize the Castle of Dublin, and murder the Lord Deputy Chichester; and for a general revolt. In 1615, a plot was formed for seizing the forts and principal towns in Ulster, and murder ing the Protestants (James's new Colony) ; for which purpose Rome, Spain, and France, had promised assistance; and in 1634, Ever M‘Mahon, a Romish Priest, discovered to Sir George Rad cliffe, principal in trust with Lord Deputy Went worth, that there was a design formed for a general rising throughout Ireland, to be seconded by the Courts of Rome, Spain, and France. Nearly a century after the last mentioned period, the Romish Bishops obtained a Bull from Bene dict XIII., for the purpose of raising rebellion, and dethroning George IL. All these to pro mote the sacred cause of Religion. And within the last thirty years, in what is called an en lightened age, when we are told the mists of error and superstition have vanished before the light of reason,—there have been innumerable conspiracies and insurrections, and two, I might say three, open rebellions for the same pious purpose. But if blind superstitious zeal, and hatred of Protestants, be not the prevailing sentiments among the - Roman Catholics of Ireland of the present day, as they were at the periods alluded to, why has Pastorini's pretended history of the Christian Church been raked from the dust, and republished as the seventh edition, consisting of many thousand Copies, sanctioned too by some if not by the whole conclave of the Romish Bis hops ? Why also is a cheaper edition now issuing from the press, in sheets, to accommodate purchasers of the lowest class ? Why was such a time as the present chosen to disseminate this envenomed composition, fraught with bigotry, virulence, calumnies, and falsehoods, if not to keep alive that hatred and intolerant spirit, and to rouse into action all the stormy passions of the mind ? Those that are considered " enlightened Roman Catholics," affect to think and speak of this pestiferous work. as the mere ebullition of a fanatic, and unworthy of notice : but I entirely doubt their sincerity, from the knowledge I have of the indefatigable pains used to circulate it, even to hiring it out in this city, and in different towns, at one penny per book, to those who can not afford to purchase the cheap edition; and, as to the adherents of the See of Rome, we are to look to their actions, and not to their professions. But why, I repeat, is this infamous production, of which they profess so contemptible an opinion, put into the hands of an ignorant besotted multi tude, such as the lower class, at least, of Roman Catholics are, if not to bring into contempt the religious and civil establishments of the kingdom, and to keep up that spirit of insubordination which is but too ready to burst forth upon all occasions, like a flame long smothered, with re novated fury. • To expose the tissue of omissions, misrepresen tations, exaggerations, and falsehoods, contained in this volume, would require an abler pen than mine ; if, indeed, their unparalleled malignity and audacity do not convey confutation to every ingenuous mind : but for the information of those of your readers who may not have an opportu nity of seeing it, I shall give a few extracts, with a very few remarks, in the hope that they may open the eyes of such of them as are in fected with the mania of liberality, to the real character of Popery. The Author, as he states, deduces his pretended history from the Apocalypse of St. John, and every text that had been applied by all judicions com mentators to the Church of Rome and its abomi nations. Ile refers to the Reformation and the Protestant Church : with this difference, they wrote from the dictates of reason, and with the finger of truth, nor did they ever lose sight of Christian charity ; while he tortures every passage to his own uncharitable diabolical purpose, and rancour, with a total disregard to truth. The characteristics of all Popish2vriters I have any knowledge of pervade his Work: but in attempt ing to caricature the Reformation and the Protes tant Church, he pourtrays the Church of Rome, as " the proudest domination that ever was endured upon earth, trampling Kings and nations under its feet.".. In treating of the 9th chapter, he says,—" To St. Peter were given the keys of Heaven, but to Luther is given the key of the bottom less pit or hell." " And he opened the bottomless pit and the smoke of the pit arose, as the smoke of a great furnace," v 01.2.—" Luther therefore opened the door of hell, and there issued out a thick smoke as from a great furnace. What can this thick smoke be, but a strong spirit of seduction, which had been hatched in hell, or had the devil for its parent, and which, at Luther's opening hell's door, immediately burst forth ? Impreg nated with this steam, or spirit of seduction, he brought forth a doctrine big . with delusions and error. And as the steam he imbibed was hot, as coming from a great furnace, he propagated his doctrine with heat, violence, and insolence."— Page 197. " And from the smoke of the pit there came out locusts upon the earth." v. 3. " From the smoke of the abyss is generated a swarm of lo custs that disperse themselves over the earth ; the meaning of which is, that the spirit of se duction, denoted by the smoke of the abyss, raised up a number of Sectaries, or Reformers, as they called themselves, who spread themselves into all parts of the Catholic Church. Luther was first intoxicated with this delusive spirit, which presently after insinuated itself into Car lostadius, Zesinglius, Occolampadius, Melanctor, Biscer, Miscer, Calvin, Henry the VIII th of England, Craniner, and many others. Being of the nature of locusts, these Reformers w ere unconnected, acknowledged no subordination among themselves, and even quarrelled with one another. They all taught different doctrines, and scarce agreed in any thing, but in their en deavours to destroy the ancient faith, and corrupt the Christian principles of morality. In this, in deed, they jointly exhibited a vehement eager ness equal to the veracity of locusts"—Page 202. ‘C And power was given to them (the ldcusts) as the scorpions of the earth have power." v. 3. " Those locusts have peculiar qualities, not to be found in the common locusts ; they have the power of stinging." This allegory shews that the reformed seats, here signified by the locusts,were empowered, by the divine permission, to sting, or violently torment those of the Catholic Com munion, whom they had left, and against whom they conceived and still retain a rancorous ani mosity."—Page 207. " And it was given unto them, (the locusts) that they should not kill them ; but that they should torment them five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he strikes a man." v. 5. " Here is a second curb put upon the power of the reformed Societies. In the last article we saw that their power of seducing others to embrace their doctrine was confined to those who had not the sign of GOD on their forehead, or who by their depravity or bad disposition lay open to such seductions."— Page 209. " And the shapes of the locusts were like unto heroes prepared unto battle." v. 7. " Here is expressed the spirit of sedition and rebellion that animated the reformers and their proselytes." — Page 214. " Not content with basing thrown off contemptuously the spiritual authority of the Pope, the Bishops, and the whole Church, Luther next attempted to subvert the temporal .power of Princes."—Page 215. " And the noise of their wings (the wings of the locusts) was the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle."—v. 9. Here the Pro phet points at the turbulent, murmuring, cla morous disposition of the reformed, properly ex pressed by the noise of the wings of the locusts,, which was as loud as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle. Did not that inflammatory spirit of uneasiness, loud murmur, and sedition, appear in all those Kingdoms where the Reformation .was received ? How often has the public tranquillity been convulsed by that baleful poison ? What fatal disturbances have been raised, and what troubles have Princes sustained to quell them ?—Page 235. "We see then that the loud noise of the wings of the locusts, like the loud rumbling noise of cha riots of many horses running to battle, very fitly represents that restless turbulent spirit, which continued in the reformed societies, and banished peace from Government, as well as from the Church of Christ."—" Here terminates the pe riod of five months, or 150 years, mentioned in verse 5 ; within which space of time is compre hended, as we have seen, our share of the history of the Reformation, and in reality the principal part of it. During this period, which commenced as we have said about the year 1525, and conse quently ended 1675, the reformed religion was forcibly introduced, took its full growth, and was finally settled."—Pages 235 and 236. " And they (the locusts) had tails like to scor pions, and there were stings in their tails, and their power was to hurt men five months. And they had over them a King, the angel of the bottomless pit ; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon : in Latin, Exterminum, that is Destroyer."—V. 10, 11.— " We shall now proceed to the second period of time, which begins with the above 10th verse, and is of equal duration with the first, that is consists of 150 years."—Page 237. " They (the locusts) have tails like unto scor pions, and there were stings in their tails ; and their power to hurt men five months." "Here the locusts are said to have tails that resemble whole scorpions with stings in them. This alle gory describes very emphatically the angry tem per of Protestants, and their implacable en mity to those of the Catholic Communion. Who ever presumes to abridge that ' Evangelical Liberty,' which is their idol, they immedi ately declaim against the attempt, chaff, and threaten like scorpions to sting. They still retain a good share of that factious and violent temper with which they propagated their religion, and which during this period breaks out on different occasions, to the disturb ing public peace, and alarming the Soveieigns, as experience sufficiently shews."—Page 238. I shall postpone to my next letter any farther extracts from Signior Pastorini's work ; and as there are some who scarcely know why they are Protestants, I shall conclude the present one, by informing such that the United Church of Eng land and Ireland, as by law established, is the Primitive Catholic Church instituted by the Apos tles, and not a " New Church," as falsely assert ed, but purified from the abuses and corruptions which had crept into it in the darker ages, or had been introduced afterwards for secular pur poses by ambitious Pontiffs, from the period they assumed the title of Universal Bishop, in the year 606, and afterwards usurped a supremacy in the Christian Church. Among those abuses and corruptions may be reckoned Image-Wor ship, first introduced in the Pontificate of Gre gory I. and established by the second Council of Nice in the Bth century ; and, to countenance this infringement on the laws of God, the Second Commandment is omitted in most of the Romish i Catechisms, dividing the Tenth into two Com mandments, to preserve numerical regularity.— The doctrine of Purgatory made an article of Faith in the 12th century,—Transubstantiation also made an article of Faith in the 13th century, —Auricular Confession, appointed to be obser ved as a Sacrament, in the same century,—With holding the Cup from the Laity, in the 15th cen tury,—Forbidding to Pray in the Vernacular Tongue,—Ascribing Sanctity to Relics—Canoni zation of Saints—Enjoining Celibacy to the Cler gy, which led to Concubinage, and also to such gross licentiousness, that public Stews were esta blished by authority at Rome, to preserve mar ried women from the lawless attempts of the Priests ; and for granting Licences, for which the " Holy Fathers" derived a very considerable re venue,—and, finally, the traffic in Indulgences, or Pardons for Sin, which grew to such a height in the Pontificate of Leo X. as to cause great scan dal; but was vigorously and successfully oppo sed by Luther, which laid the foundation of that Reformation that has restored the Church to its pristine purity. Let reason and common sense determine which is Catholic and Apostolic—the Church of Rome or the PrOtestant. The following is the first of the hundred ar ticles, stating the abuses and corruptions of the Church of Rome, laid before the Council of Trent, in the year 1545, by the Protestants. " Most Bishops and their officials not only allow Priests to keep concubines, on condition of pay ing a tax, but also compel those respectable Priests who chose to live continently, to pay the tax of concubinage, under the pretence that my Lord is in want of money." As to Image worship, I cannot avoid here giv-. ing the opinion of the Rev. Mr. Faye], in his Dis sertation on the Prophecies.—Vol. 1, Page 22.1. " Scarcely had a year elapsed from the esta blishment of this sacerdotal Empire, when the ancient Pantheon, formerly the general sink of all the abominations of Paganism, was now restored, though under a different name, to its original destination. The mediatory demons of corrupted christianity occupied the vacant places of the mediatory demons of the Gentiles ; and instead of Jupiter and his kindred deities, the Virgin Mother of Ch r ist, an d a ll hi s mar tyred saints, receive a blind adoration.

Mr. ADOLPHus spoke in mitigation, and the SOLICITOR' GENERAt. in aggravation of punishment. The COURT, under all the circumstances of the case, sen tenced IVOrtbington to two years, and Hall to eighteen months itnprhonment in Maidstone gaol, and both to pay a fine each of 501., and respectively to enter into security to be of good beha viour for five years, themselves in 1001. each, and two sureties in 501. each, severally and respectively.

Mr. COMMON SERGEANT afterwards applied to the Court to fix a day for bringing up the defendants, as the Counsel be hind the Bar rarely had an opportunity of moving while the Court was full.
