TUE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE IkIORNING PAPERS, January 1, 18'2'2. [NEW TIMES.] The City was agitated yesterday with a va-. riety of reports, the most prominent of which was, that the King of France had been attacked with a temporary fit of derangement, which had, however, gone off, but was considered at his time of life, and with his habit of body, to be of alarming import. The ,great ground for all the sinister rumours was a fall in the French funds. It is certain they were depressed to 84—a sub sequent express, however, brings the price of the rentes down to the close of the day on Saturday, when they left off at 85. It is true that this fall is considerable, but it is to be ascribed (solely, we believe,) to the speculations on the Exchange at Paris. No less than four very eminent speculators there have stopped payment, and the amount of the rentes thrown on the market in consequence exceeds two mil lions; a sum agaiust which even our market could not make a stand, much less one which is so un stable as that of Paris. A very unfounded, but a - very prevalent notion in this_ country is, that the death of the King of France, happen when it will, must be followed by some convulsion. There is no reason for this opinion. It has in deed been so often repeated by all the in triguers 'of the Revolution, and so little is known of France in this country, but from Re volutionists, that we are not surprised at its prevalence. With the story of the King's attack, and the probable approach of his dissolution, therefore, was coupled a certainty (as it was re presented) of some revolutionary movement at his death. Add to this the report that the Grand Seignior had rejected the Russian Ulti :natum, that. the Russian.army had advanced, had fought a bloody 'battle with the Turks and com pletely routed them—and it is not very surpris ing that our Funds were depressed. In fact, at one part of the day they had sunk to 76k, but they afterwards recovered and left off at 77. Eratimn piress.:l The Paris Papers of Friday, which were due yesterday, had not arrived when our Paper went to press; but an express was received yesterday from Paris, which left that city at nine o'clock on Friday night. The intelligence brought by - , 'this express relates principally to the King of France's health, which seems to threaten the most 'alarming consequences. His Majesty's in tellectual powers are said to have been most se .riously affected by the anxious cares which lately oppressed him,•upon the subject of the dissatis faction 'expressed by the Chamber of Deputies, and the subsequent change in the Cabinet. This mental. affection, howeVer, seems to have been -but momentary, and, was .not attended by any bodily: ' infirmity, so that his 'Majesty is once more in a condition that enables him :to -prOide at the Councils of his Ministers.- -The- . disorder was first noticed by the Minis , te - rs:.: at one of the Cabinet Councils, when his Majesty's : mind , .wandered altogether from the, business immediately before the Cabinet. Re spect and surprise kept them silent for some time, until - sat Tengtlithe malady became so ap parent that it was necessary to lead his Majesty fo his chamber, and to require the instant at tendance of' his physicians. The occurrence of so great an evil may well justify the most gloomy ,apprehensions, and it is evident, from the gieat depression in the prices of Govern ment securities, -.:that the public mind was under the influence of considerable alarm. The stz.z.te of the French funds on Friday will ..b e . seen in the copies of private letters- which are in another part of this Paper; (see, ThiSux (I yesterday) ; there will also be seen notices of the rumours which prevailed during that day in - the French capital, and to which, in the general 'ignorance olthe'calamity'which had befallen the King, the public successively attributed the re decline in the funds. As these rumours are evidently the offspring of anxious conjecture, we shall not beitoW any notice upon them particu laxly. [MORNING -POST.] • An Express arrived yesterday afternoon with •!=ost important intelligence from France. It appears that the dissentions between the Chamber of Deputies and the late Ministers, vith the -alterations which the King found himself compelled to make in the Admini stration, preyed so- deeply on his spirits, as to.produce.a momentary obscuration of his men . AA} faculties. At one of the late extraordinary Councils at which his Majesty presided, it was observed that his conversation was directed to a subject quite different from the one under discus sion: The Council remarked this for ; some time in sihtnce., but at length . .requested leave to con duct his Majesty to his chamber, where his medi cal attendants were immediately summoned, and his Majesty soon recovered. This event having transpired, the effect on the funds was consider- Able. They felt "on Friday morning down to 8-i.frs. 35 cent's.; and' we - learned by a second express which arrived lasunight, that in the after , .poon of. that day they sunk to 84 frs. 15 cents. [MORNING HERALD.] • " In another part of our Paper (see' the SUN of , this day) we have given the Speech of the Presi : dent of the United States, on the opening of -Congress, on the sth ult. Jn our opinion, it does not draw . so' favourable a picture of the con merciat and financial•situation of that country as we hatFanticipated. It appears that the Revenue of the United. States., from the Ist of January to :•the 30th of. September... last, a period of nine months, was 16,219,197 dollars; and that the — surplus in the -Treasury, on the Ist of January, 14 1 113 1,198,461 dollars.--These. sums, added to -gather, make 17,417,658 dollars,. and calculat ing the dollar - at-4s: 6d., make 3,918,9731. Eng '---lishmoney.--The expenditure in the same space '• of tiine is 15,645,288 dollars, which is equal to 3i5c20089/..aterling. • 11 , 46a:int: eintoicicLr.] City, Monday Evening, Dec. 31, 182.1.—The French Mail remaicing due, there is nothing new , „ whatever this day. .Reports as usual,have beep busily circulated, but without any foundation— one of them stated the French Rentes to have fallen to 82, which had the effect of depressing our Funds a little. Consols for account opened at 77 1 1, and fell to 76 : 1, but afterwards they re covered themselves, and finally closed at 77i. — In Paris some large failures are reported. The Corn Market is still but sparingly supplied with grain, in consequence of adverse winds. -In the morning fine sound wheat found buyers at an advance of 2s. to 3s. per quarter. — This demand, however, did not last long, and at the close of the market, nothing could be more flat than the Wheat trade was, and no advance on the prices of last week could be ob tained. Of Spring Corn the supply was ex tremely small ; but there was little or no de mand for either Barley or Oats, and their prices were with difficulty supported. In. West India produce no business is doing. Hemp and flax continue in demand, and 521. per ton is the price demanded for the former article. The ac counts at Lloyd's this morning from the outports bring another melancholy list of losses at sea. Portsmouth letters mention, that many vessels, both English and French, are wrecked on the opposite coast. During November and Decem ber upwards of 200 sail of vessels have suffered shipwreck o❑ our coast, and twice that number lost anchors, and received other injuries from the storms. [TII E TIMES. The Message of the President of the United States to Congress has arrived, bearing date the 3d ult. A few of the leading topics we shall briefly enumerate, not finding upon the face of Mr. Monroe's statements or reasonings much matter for observation, and certainly none for censure. Among the foreign relations, that with Great Britain occupies the foremost place, as well in respect of the position assigned to it by the President, as in its own intrinsic dignity and value. The message explains at considerable length the policy adopted by the American Government in regard to the commercial and maritime intercourse of the republic with foreign Powers, more especially the manufacturing states of Europe. By the law of the 3d March, 1815, we knew that certain laws of the United States,' having for their object to discourage and restrain the shipping and commercial interests of foreign nations, were repealed in favour of such Powers as should enact an equality of duties in their own ports and those of their colonies, between their vessels and those of the American Union. This principle, the President states to have been accepted and confirmed by treaty, dated the same year, on the part of Great Britain, in so far as related to her European' dominions, but rejected quoad her colonies; in return for which the United States imposed upon the trade between the colonies and the ports of .the Union certain countervailing restraints, by which double system of restriction .the said commerce, as - hitherto car ried on by the vessels of ,eacli, was suspended. We believe the- practical consequence has been to throw a large partion of the supply of. our West India Islands into the hands of our own Co lonists on the Main. - For what concerns the ad justment of the boundary line between our North American territory and that of the States, it appears that the Commissioners could come to no agreement, and that the matters in dispute on that point have been referred to Russia, who has not yet pronounced her decision. It may be satisfactory to add, that there is not an expres sion used towards Great Britain, in the several paragraphs wherein her relations with the United States are referred to, which indicates any thing but the continuance of the most undisturbed and perfect harmony between the two Governments. FOR TIIE SUN. MR. PINSENT'S SYSTEM. AIR. EDITOR—I have read with pleasure, and examined with attention, the several communica tions on commerce, finance, shipping, and agri culture, inserted in your valuable Journal, under the signature of JOSEPH PINSENT, and also Mr. Pinsent's advertisement, announcing his in tention to request a public meeting for the dis cussion of his propositions ; and I must say, that for soundness of argument, plain and interesting facts, and wise and extensive views, founded on the simple and incontroVertible principle, that the profitable employment of our people consti tutes the wealth and prosperity of the empire, I have seldom seen Mr. Pinsent's paper equalled, and that I have never experienced more satisfac tion than from a perusal. In order to obtain the desirable results which Mr. Pinsent declares to be attainable, he points out the rational course of " doing; our own work with our own people ;" aud, as the foundation on which the new fabric of national prosperity is by this means to be erected, he says, (what will readily be admitted on all hands) that agricul -ture is the root of, and propelling power to, 'all other branches of industry. If, Sir, the practical theory, which he has raised upon this basis, do not consist of a series of irrefragrable arguments and positions,—if it be not easy .of practical application and introduction,—if it be not, in short, 'SIMPLICITY ITSELF, I do not know what composition is entitled to similar distinc tions. • Having, for my own part, this 'satisfactory view of the subject,—this irresistible conviction of the truth of Mr. Pinsent's propositions, and of the soundness and beauty of his theory, I acknowledge that I expected every British interest would have come forward eagerly to thank him for his liberal, patriotic, and philanthropic undertaking, and so have af forded him their countenance, and assistance to carry it into effect ; or at least to. have requested from him further illustrations of his valuable system. Such effects I still hope to see produced; but judge my surprise in the mean time ) when, on taking up THE Su of the 18th Instant, I found a letter signed "3. H.," attempt ing, without.oue, iota of argument, or true British feeling, to defeat by a side-wind this meritorious Gentleman's endeavours to serve his country. It is impossible, Sir, that I should give J. 11. the credit of sincerity, when I find him stigmatizing the writings of Mr. Pinsent as abstruse, which are obviously, to every intelligent man, whatever may be their seeming defects in other respects, the very essence of simplicity. It is impossible that I should allow him that credit, when I find him, with the complaisance and adulation of a courtier expressing himself in favour of his pa tron, as if he were about to receive some great emolument for his disingenuous and ungracious services, and at the same time attacking poor Pinsent, and charging him with incorrectness in his observations respecting the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, for having said that the Shipping Interest ought not to be supported for the sake of keeping employed a few rotten ships, or words to that effect. Although, Sir, J. 11. is incorrect in his statement, yet had he been otherwise, had Mr. Pinsent really used the words attributed to him, it would have come to the same point, for it is well-known that the Vice- President in question advocated tile measures of the Member who did make use of that expres sion ; and if J. 11. had been Statesman enough to know that the profitable employment of our people constitutes the wealth and prosperity of the Empire, he would know that, under our present circumstances, the employment of old ships is preferable to that of new ones, since the former afford profitable employment to a greater number of our people than the latter ; and if .J. H. had been a practical man, he would know that an old ship can be made as useful as a new one with two-thirds of the capital ; and he would have been restrain-ed from exposing his own ignorance and folly in attempting to drive Mr. Pinsent from his solid positions. But, Sir, the most disingenuous feature of .T. H.'s letter is the attempt to prove Mr. Pin sent's ignorance and mis-statement of the Navi gation Laws, merely because Mr, P. had frankly acknowledged that he had not read the Naviga tion Act for some time past. Now, whether he had recently read the Navigation Act or not is immaterial ;. for every man who knows that Act will readily admit that he thoroughly under stands, and has most sufficiently explained it, for the objects under discussion, added to -which, a man from his daily practice may know the Act in question, as well as those who have only read it. As J. 11. was the first to make the unfair and unprovoked attack upon Mr. Pinsent, I think he is bound to retire from the controversy, and that it would be decorous in him even to apologise to Mr. Pinsent for his, ill-timed and injudicious observations. If he will do neither, let him, at least, encounter his adversary with fair ar guments, or he will give the world a license to treat him as a mere ignoramus in Political economy ; for, if we concede, for the sake of ar gument, his claims to the four objectionable points aforesaid, he will still leave the root, trunk, limbs, and branches of Mr. Pinsent's sys tem and arguments as entire as if the axe or the pruning knife had never even been attempted to be applied to them, and consequently that J. H.'s attack has resulted in its own discomfiture, with out there having been a necessity kir Mr. Pin sent's reply. It is truly grievous to see a man (whoever he .may be) of his patriotic zeal, not only so harshly attacked, but looked on with si lence by those British Interests who are ten times more interested in the success of those objects which he has in view, than any individual, however wealthy, can be. I therefore earnestly hope, that as lie struggles alone, if he obtains his well de served success, he will not only have the sole cre dit, but that those imprudent or lukewarm Gen tlemen who now stand aloof, though they may afterwards be ready enough to grasp at the fruits of his measures, will not be permitted to partici pate in their fruits, without contributing to the payment of what I have no hesitation in designating his noble, magnanimous, persevering, and patri • otic undertakings. Perhaps it may arise from being a Tory myself, that I think that for virtue and patriotism, Mr. Wallace and his colleagues are superior to most men—yet, unfortunately for them, and our country, their good intentions have been completely at variance with their measures; and nothing can so much prove the unsoundness of their measures as the strange anomaly they have produced, by causing the production of food without the means of purchasing, and empty sto machs, without the means of paying for subsistence; and although we require ten times our present population to bring our resources into ac tion, still a large portion of our comparative ly few people are idle and starving for want of profitable employment ; but the simple question at issue is, " Will or will not Mr. Wal lace's intended measures increase or decrease the profitable employment of our people ?" If the for. mer, they .should be adopted ; if the latter, they should be rejected and condemned, as nothing in nature or art can give England an equivalent for the destruction of the profitable employment of her ships and people. And as Mr. 'Wallace's measures have a tendency to give foreigners the employment of our people, as well as to make foreign countries a depot for foreign wares and merchandise, it is a proof positive that his mea sures will deprive our people of profitable em ployment, the State of revenue and political power; as such the man who advocates such mea sures is unworthy of the high name of an Eng. lishman. With respect to what J. 11. says of Mr. Pinsent's Meeting at the City of London Tavern ; as he does not appear to come under the description of the Members of those Interests in vited, he need not give himself any trouble about the results of that meeting, so far as it may re late to the promotion of real British- Interests. It would appear that the principle on which Mr. s Pinsent's measures are founded , th oug h simpl e a Nature itself, are too profound for the compre hension of the theoretical and sophistical Poli tical Economist of the day. As an , enemy to vice and sophistry, but a friend to science, candour, and all real British Interest, I am, Mr. Editor, your obedient - Servant, London, Dee. 29, 1821. A REAL PITTITE. THE ARM Y.
