THE LONDON JOURNALS• IIXTBACTS PROM TILE ‘D kI.LY MORNING PAPERS, April 24, 1822. • [NEW TIMES.) SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.--.-IR conformity with. what was stated in our' paper of Thursday last, Ne understand that a highly respectable Meeting of Merchants, Ship-owners, and Mann factnrers, was yesterday held in the City, to take into consideration the means of establishing a beneficial intercourse between the United King dom and - Countries.in South America, which were formerly under the dominion of Spain. Certain Resolutions were unanimously entered into, ex pressive of the opinion of the Meeting that the peculiar nature of the wants and 'productions of the countries in question must, 'their present in4ependent situation,open a. vast field for com mercial enterprize of the most valuable descrip tion, provided this country should meet, in a corresponding way, the•.desire, so earnestly and sincerely manifested on the, other side, for a mu tually beneficial intercourse---that it' is expedient to effect a removal of all impediments to this de sirable state of things, it appearing by the decla ration of Mr. Zea, the. Envoy from the Colum bian States, to be the determination of those Go vernments to admit into their ports the ships and merchandize only of those nations who re cognize and admit the flags and products of their respective countries—that proceedings are S now pending in the Legislature of the United States, which will entitle the vessels of that country to decided advantages, little short of a monopoly of the trade, until this and the other countries, by similar measures, shall become entitled to share in and that a memorial be presented to the Lords of his Majesty's most Honourable Privy Council, respectfully urging the importance of the immediate consideration of the means of esta blishing a commercial intercourse between this kingdom and the countries of the said Govern ments in South America. A memorial was then agreed to, embodying the substance of the reso lutions, and submitting to the consideration of their Lordships, whether, in perfect consistency with the spirit of the N,avigation Laws, the let teriof them may not be so far relaxed as to admit vessels belonging to the several newly established countries in South America, to trade, as such, at the several ports of this kingdom, in the same manner as the ships of the United States and Brazil. [THE TIDIES.] Our remarks on the subject of Consuls and Consuls-General have attracted to us a Corres pondent who has favoured us with some informa tion on the nature of these appointments and the injurious manner in which they are frequently disposed of. It appears that in some cases an assignment of salary is made as soon as the ap pointment takes place ; and in this salary the new• appointed Consuls consider themselves as having so permanent an interest, that some of them, being needy men, and not able to.provide their outfit, do forthwith sell their salaries as they would sell -an annuity, in order to satisfy their immediate wants. A. person in this coun try., for example, known only as the editor or author of two periodical publications, the re spectable qualities of which may be estimated by their titles, The Scourge and The Sa tirist, is appointed Consul he immediately sets;to work to raise a sum for his outfit, on the security of the salary of 2001. a year, boasting at tbesame.titne,that the gains which he could make from his situation would . amount to many thou sandi a year. Ile refers the person of whom he expects to. - raise the money to - the _Exchequer Office, and the presumed lender there learns that " the salary was considered as a provision for " life—that there was no instance of its being " withheld," and consequently that money might be advanced upon it. We have seen also an ac couftt of an application of a „similar kind .from another Consul, going out to a . Consulate, and requiring an immedate sum .for an outfit, , on the,security of a salary not ..yet . earned,' but pledged as permanent. These ;instances may show , that the. subject -of our Consuls requires a thorough investiation. It should, in truth, have made a part of inquiry into the. condition' of-oar-foreign commerce, the welfare of which is materially connected with thejnara,l . character abd.official. competence -of those who, under the title of Consuls, have the direction- bf it abroad. We must not,, however,. publish .these .remarks -wfthout adding thereto an-acknow,redgment•that our censures are not general ; and that we know Lnatiy of our Consuls to be honourable and esti mable tnpu. Such men wall. rejoice,in_the detec tion of others who sully the office by qUalities of a different character.,, MORNIN4I POST( • 1 ' The discussion on Sir•John.Newport's motion has, we are satisfied, given - very general satisfac tion; and when known in Ireland will produce a still greater effect. . is obvious that, in intro ducing it the Right .Hon. Baronet must have sought for little more , than, an *explanation froli Ministers of their present plans for the ameliora tion. of the Sister Country, and of the progrees' which they have hitherto made in maturing them. Ito.sasi but natural, perhaps, .that some .anxiety should he felt otl this. ,übject His Majesty's visit, t 9 Ireland make,s,• itself, , an era in • the history .of. that,. Island. la the mean time distutbantes have Prevailed there to an alarm ing extent, and a complete , change of adminis tration has taken. while coercive measures have-heen:passed and enforced for the resto ration of tranquillity., These circumstances had. created much speculation ,and anxiety in the, public mind, By some they• were. looked upon as. mere phases of the ,sxpe, • political machine, unworthy of more than contempt ; to others the.); appeared, and •we're:eveiv i cherished, as signs q betterlime . s and brieiter, prospects.. t, , is plea sarti, to 'reflect, bat the. ex position, of .what has been done, and is still in store, has , satisfied all parties, by disappointing the, one and gratifying the other. At the conclusion of the; debate on Monday night, we think it tnaj be safe! f• assert , ed, that every one tceLty ..L the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers towards Ireland, and of the principles of the Irish Admi nistration itself. There is no subject which aught to occupy the attention of Government respect ing that country, which has not been, or will not be, under its solicitous consideration. But what is, perhaps, of still greater moment, the principle, influencing and regulating the conduct of Admi nistration in these proceedings, is nominally ap proved of by men of all descriptions. None fear, or even affects to feat, that any measure will he adopted, touching, in the least, on his individual or other rights or privileges. The object of his Majesty's Ministers is to ameliorate the condition of all, by satisfying all that nothing else is meant or will be entertained. We wish the people of Ireland to maturely consider this, and as they value their country and their character, to unite cordially with the Government in_ its present exertions for their permanent happiness and pros perity. [BRITISH PRESS.] The debate uu Monday apprises us that, it the view of the principal speakers on that occa sion, the question of the general admissibility of Roman Catholics to Parliament,&c. is dissevered from the other question concerning the state and condition of the people of Ireland. This cer tainly places both questions in new points or view, and by the disunion not improbably will be found to diminish the adventitious weight and importance of both. We must at the same time feel that either topic will be likely to obtain a better chance of a fair and dispassionate inquiry than when they were mixed toge ther. Both now become questions of a general instead of a local nature ; they relate to the empire, and not to any particular portion of it. We cannot sufficiently regret the, attempt, however feeble, that was made to represent the disturbances in the south of Ireland in the light of an insurrection on account of religious bigotry, and to excite a prejudice against our Roman Ca- tholic fellow-subjects. The indignant reply, however, of Mr. Plunkett, and the manifest feel ing of the majority of the House of Commons, evinced by the manner in which Mr. Ellis and Mr. Plunkett were respectively heard, must have the effect of neutralizing the mischief which such an attempt might otherwise have produa.!ed.— Nothing could have been more- injudicious than Mr. Ellis's speech, and nothing , better timed or more felicitous than the antidote that was sup plied by Mr. Plunkett. [MORNING. ILEILALD.] The accounts from Germany are still of a war like character. Not a word has yet appeared in the Austrian Official Journal on this subject. It is pretended that according to private accounts of the 11th, from Vienna, Prince Metternich, after several conferences with the Russian En voy and Ambassador, had dispatched a, fresh Note, to the Austrian Minister at Constanti nople, to be placed before the Divan, con taining " the liveliest reproaches" against the, basis and language of the late Turkish Note, and formally declaring that if the Porte did not prove more moderate, Austria would abandon her system of mediation, and follow the bent of her own policy. The Internuncio was further directed to quit Constantinople, unless the Porte should adopt a change of conduct. The departure of the Russian Envoy, M. de Tatischeff, from Vienna, affords to the continen tal speculators a premise for directly opposite conclusions. On one side it is regarded as a warlike, on the other as a pacific phenomenon— and the truth is, that the mere fact tells nothing either way. The Nuremburg ,Correspondent goes the length of saying that the Turks are to open the campaign upon a plan of at tack laid down by a once distinguished French General—and the Augsburgh Gazette states, that several Turkish corps had al ready crossed the Danube. The most curious piece of iutelligence, however, from the German rapers, IS the announcement that Ali Pacha is still among the quick, escaped to Port Mahon, 'having, left the body of an Albanese soldier dead of his wounds, and clad in a Paella's robes,,to be his representative in the hands of the Turkish besiegers. Ali was certainly one of the most con ning"of mr.nkind, but we suspect it will be found that this is but a Greek legend, which, perhaps, shall figure hereafter as a fact in the pages of the future historian. [MORNING CHRONICLE.I In the age of &tidolity, as in the age of Clan ship, the power of the Lord depending ,on the attachment :of the vassal, could hardly - be exer cised to the injury of: the latter. He, whose sword is necessary to another, will seldom .be greatly oppressed •by him ; but, in an age of arts and industry, in which the Baron does not possess his former military independence, his power over. the people is no longer moderated by his want of their services,and he uses it merely fortheir op pres . , sion. Hence in most of the countries of Europe, the misery of the people was usually in the proportion in which the. influence of the Aristocracy wa s ,not destroyed by the Crown, or by the people them selves. During the military age in. Scotland, the 'people enjoyed great liberty, but when.the kris, tocracy ceased tareouire their aid, they indulged in the most shameless oppression and profligacy. down to a comparatively recent period, In Den., 'mark, the misconduct of the aristocracy roused the people to joie the crown against them,andDenmark, though an, absolute. monarchy, .has: since been governed with a comparatively great regard . to , the general welfare. In Norway, mantparts,4 Friesland, . Eiitmasscb, ./kc., the .Aristecracy gra-, dually merged in the people, and these, countries 'lost nothing by ; the circumstance, 'l",n 014 . p Ac k : of. the Island, aristocracy from descent, properly so_ called,.has been long unknown.. It is to their power,. at Peers,' .and holders cf. 1iq1.3434'; ''and not to the , antiquitY_ of their .families, that they ,owe their conseAtience. among, tional gratitude loves to d well on the services of the family, of_ Russell, and one or two others, lift this ,is, s,u4e. a different - consitleratiott from that of antiquiq. Aither: ropecis, , the, Peer who sends twelve .Members to the L:ower , House is:Of 'more conseqtleuce than the peer who can atiatier number, though the date Ol his title be but of yesterday, and though the other may trace his descent to the period of the Norman Conquest. In Scotland, till lately,- it was perhaps different. Their descent "was of more consequence than title. Except in so far as Parliamentary power_is concerned, the Aristo cracy possess no other influence than what they derive from their talents, or the ascendancy of the purse. The difference between America and Eng land appears therefore to be chiefly this; that in the latter the ascendancy of the purse, in so far as it is opposed to merit, is aided by the possession of a direct power and influence, which enable it to prey with impunity on the,rest of the commu nity, and to render the influence of virtue, merit, and intellect., much less than they would other wise be. The Purse will, in all countries, have an ascendancy ; but, in America, this ascendancy is the onlycone which merit can have to encoun ter.—lt seems to us that the abuses inseparable from uncontrouled power, of the nature of that to which we have been alluding, are not easily reconcilable with the spirit of an enlightened age, and that a crisis can hardly be at a very great distance.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. PRIVILEGE OF AMBASSADORS. Yesterday Mons. JOSEPH COREA, late Minister Plenipo tentiary from the Court of Portugal to the Hanse Towni, ap• plied for his discharge, which was opposed by Mr. POLLOCK on behalf of Mr. Stoddart, a coachmaker in South Audley street. A preliminary objection was raised, on the ground that the petitioner had not applied to the Court in his propername, inas much is he had annexed his name to a manifesto published by him at Hamburgh as Joss? A. F. Corea. In explanation, he observed, that the Portuguese had a great number of names, and in his official capacity he used them, but in England he was known only as Joseph Corea, but his real name was Josse Aeselmo Fernando Correa. To corrobo rate this several letters were put in, which were superscribed " To his - Excellency Nlons.J. A. F. Correa, " Minister, &c. Harnburgh." It appeared that during the time he was on his embassy . at Hamburgh, he had frequent occasions to visit this country on diplomatic missions, and during his stay in 1818 he purchased several carriages of alr. Stoddart, on speculation, which he re gularly paid for through the medium of his agent. During last year he came to the Court of St. James's, on some business, at which time he expected to be sent to the Brazils, to which place, he had got his appointment, but owing to some error in the making out of his credentials, and a political change taking place the embassy had been suspended. While in London he pur chased two chariots of the opposing creditor, which were sent to Hamburgh, from whence he was to make a remittance, which he had failed to do ; therefore, on his again paying a visit to England, he caused him to be arrested. The insolvent was questioned as to what his income was, and also as to his property at Hamburgh. He stated, that owing to a change which had taken place in the Cabinet at Lisbon, he had not received his stipend in a regular manner, hence a con siderable service of plate and other valuables had been pled ged, and, among the rest, an elegant plateau, presented tq him by the present Queen of the Netherlands, on which alone he got 1501. At the time he contracted the debt, he had an esta blishment at Hamburgh, and his furniture, plate, &c. &e _ were worth at least 2,oool.,—perhaps about 7001. of it were in the possession of his son, who is the Charge d'Affaires at the Hanse Towns at the present time, beyond which he had an order on a Portuguese agent, to receive 601. in cash imme. diately, and likewise 2001. every two months, until lie ha'l made a final arrangement with his Government. His stipend was 1,1001. a-year, besides his Court uniform, &c. &c. and the King of Portugal allowed him a pension of 7001. he having been attached to his Majesty's Court for a period of 35 years ; under these circumstances, he considered it was too much to say, that he had not " probable means" of payment at the time. he contracted the debt. 2,1 r. POLLOCK, however, was of a different opinion ; at all events, there must be account given of the property at Ham burgh, as it clearly belonged to his creditors. The COURT concurred in this, but observed, that there was nothing like a false pretence in the transaction of April last. The final hearing was adjourned generally, in order that the gentleman might have an opportunity of obtaining an inven tory from the Continent, of the articles in the house of his son. A Constitutional Society has been formed by the leading Gentlemen of Somersetshire, on the basis of loyalty to the RING, attachment to the Constitution, as established at the Revolution, and the maintenance of civil and religious liberty. Extract of a Letter from a Traveller, dated Haddington, April 20 :—" This place has been thrown into considerable confusion, in conse quence of an extensive robbery committed on the East Lothian Bank. William Borthwick, the cashier, who had long been in the employ, and in whom the most implicit confidence had been placed by the firm, was not at his post on the morning of . Tuesday, the 9th instant. At first no suspicion was entertained ; but on in quiry, it was found be had left his resi dence. An investigation into the cause of his absence took place, when it was soon discovered that he had absconded with bills and Bank notes to a very great amount. A reward of 200 guineas was immediately issu d, and a pursuit commenced, but hitherto without success. It was ascertained that he left Dunbar' on horseback on Tuesday night, and was traced to Belford, whence it is supposed he had proceed ed to a sea port to embark for the Continent, as letters have been received from him, dated New castle, the 10th current. It is ►►ot known the exact sum he has absconded with ; but besides East Lothian Ba►►k, and other notes and bills abstracted, it has been ascertained that he pro cured and carried off to the amoint of 5,3351. Is. Bd. in bills payable in London.—(Morning Paper.) PolsoNisa.—On Monday night an Inquest 11 , 13 held on Mr. Lloyd, a silversmith, before Mr. STIRLING, the Coroner, in Charles-street, Hatton garden. The deceased, it appeared in evidence, on Monday morning went to a chemist's of the name of Sheppard, and asked for a quantity of oxalic acid, for cleaning boot tops, which was sold to him, and directions were g iven to him how to use - it. He proceeded from th ence to the house of an ac quaintance, a Mr. Fuller, in Charles-street, Hatton-garden, and being asked to breakfast with. the family, took his seat at the table. He said he was unwell, and had been purchasing some salts, and requested, a little water to liquify them, which being done, he drank them off, and in a few minutes died in the most excruciating agony, the interior of his stomach being entirely destroyed. He has left a wife and severatchil dren. Evidence being given of mental . aberra tion, the Jury returned a verdict of Insanity. DISTRESSING EvENT.—At a late hour on . Wednesday evening, a number of the boys belonging to Heriot's - Hos pital left their beds for the purpose of dislodging some of the pigeons' nests at the top of the building. One of therb; , fine boy of about 14 years of age, having climbed to the height of three stories, while busily engaged at the destructive work; slipped his foot, and fell to the bottom. The rest - of hiS'coiriPp nions fled to their several apartments, without giving, any notice of what had happened, and it was not till next - morning that he was .found by one of the servants lying-in' the area With his neck dislocated, and quite dead.
