THE LONDON . JOURNALS. . 2XTRAtITS FROM THE DAILY 'MORNING PATERS, Aogust 8, • 182. ... . . [MORNING. CHRONI CLE.I Letters were , yesterday received from Barce lona, dated 25th ult. -They mention that the city of Vich (35 miles N. of Barcelona) had been for several days -closely besieged . , and the inha bitants were in a state of general alarm, owing. to their apprehensions of being compelled to sur render, the more so, as they were aware that the Chiefs of the insurgent troops had promised their men the right of pillage in case they entered the town. In this emergencY they were relieved by General Milans, who, advancing from the .side of Islanreza, vigorously attacked and defeated the insurgents,.taking a considerable number of prisoners. After the action 500 of the insurgents passed over, to him, soliciting pardon, and as suring him that, they ,had been deceived, and brought from their homes under a promiseof being glowed . the privilege of pillaging the town. Among-1116m , were many women, .who had also come Wider the expectation of pillage. General Milans had several hung on the spot, without any other formality than, the short .process of a Court-martial, among whom were 23 friars and priests, and eight- Insurgent chiefs'. Urgel was still the head-quarters of the'army of the Faith, and General Milans was prOdring to besiege it. The Insurgents are stated to have upWards of 6000 men shut up is this toivii, and it was a sub ject of exultation to the tOnstitutionalists that they were assembled hi this.manner, as the diffi culty of reducing them ivaik . diminished. From all the examinations and inquiries that had taken place-up to the date of the letters alluded to, it was evident that the people had been instigated by designing- men, and brought into open rebel lion by promises of pillage, - of which they were the more induced to avail themselves in conse quence of the great misery- and distress that pre vailed in the country.. Such are .the parties col lected together, and composing the Army of the Faith, and such the feats their countrymen may expect from these deluded wretches. [THE TIMES.] We 'received last night, by express, the Paris papers of - Monday. They all contain extracts from the Madrid journals to the 26th, which had arrived by the ordinary conveyance ; and one of them, eager to add something to the accounts of others, - without having any thing to say of its own, states that 411 extraordinary courier had brought intelligence, from Madrid . to the 28th ult. We subjoin the paragraph as a tine imitation of the pregnant shape of Lord Burleigh's head. " An.extraordinary courier, who left Madrid on the 28th of July, arrived the day before. yester day. Although nothing, positive has transpired with respect to the intelligence which he has brought, persons wbOpretend to be well-informed assure us that Madrid enjoyed then a perfect tranquillity, and that no change had taken place in the Ministry. As to the first fact, we give an assurance that it is correct ; but as to the second, we_ have strong reasons to believe, that at the de parture of the courier changes of very high im portance in, the Ministry and the superior admi nistration of the province 3 had taken place, or at least had been agreed -upon." " The best guesser," says Cieero, is" the best prophet ;" and if so, the:sagacious Journalist who drew- up this statement, with the account 'of the 25th before him, and gate merit ofit. to - an. extraordinary courier, may set 'up for a conjuror .when he pleases. We need only. refer to the extracts from the Spanish Papers undei the proper head, for all the authentic news -which the Paris Jour nals cont!in on the state of the Peninsula. NEW TIMES. Our readers are; awarelhat one of the inferior Theatres at Paris, having engaged an itinerant. company of English Comedians to perform Eng lish plays,. the poor actors and: actresses were treated by the audience with the most savage brutality. The Morning Chronicle may well term ,this " .a.. disgraceful. affair ; " but we can not allow that tlredisgfaee ought to fall .on•the French natibti--Wa: nation," as Burke eloquently said, 46 of gallantsmen, of men of honour, and of Cavaliers !",- 7 .N0 ; it belongs wholly and exclu sively to that barbarous and-Anti-French faction, which usurps the tiaxne of "the nation," as unjustly as it does the epithets of liberal .and constitutional. The Chronicle, honestly ashamed of its friends, the Liberals, endeavours nevertheless to - excuse them, by intimating that they were on this occa sion no worse than the Royalists. But this apo logy, ,miserable as it is, will not serve its turn. Whatever other faults the Royalists may possess, they halt never been accused of not being Gen tlemen they have always retained "that generous loyalty to funk, and sex" by which they are characterised in the works of our great Statesman. Would a Royalist have thrown a two sous piece at a pretty young actress, wounded her in the eye, and made her faint away with pain and terror ? Such an unmanly piece of cruelty Could only proCeed from a mind brutalised by the ferocious principles of the, Revolution. [MORNING HERALD.] _ _ There is reason to be indignant at the treat ment of the English performers by the Parisian audience—but none certainly to be surprised.— The conduct of the French public—at least of the majority of the persons present at the theatre, was base and brutal ; yet if they had come to the theatre with the most exemplary and unbiassed temper, we should still doubt, under the circum stances, whether the performance would be ever tolerated. There is a great mass of unprejudiced minds, familiar with the literature, arts, and man ners of Europe, in Paris; and these, notvvithstand lag national differenoes of taste, would know how to estimate an English drama, performed- by good English actors. But where an English tragedy in the hands of a provincial company was pre sented at an inferior French theatre—to an infe rior French audience, ignorant of the language, and impressed (like the Chinese with reference to their country) that whatever is not French is barbarous and ridiculous—what could be ex pected from this meeting of unintelligible medio crity on the one side, and of ignorance, volatility, and conceit on the other, but vacant yawning, impatience, or risibility ? An Eriglish actor is just as intelligible to the frequenters of the Boulevard theatres ag an Iroquois—and even appears equally laughable. [MORNING POST.] The accounts from Scotland daily increase in enthusiasm and interest as the period of the Royal visit approaches. The preparations for his Majesty's reception appear to be of that exten sive and splendid description which the occasion calls for; and what must be most grateful to the feelings of our beloved-Sovereign, all classes and denominations of • his Scotch subjects seem to have laid aside their particular opinions, and to be as unanimous in providing a hearty and befitting welcome for their King, as his Majesty's paternal affection and solicitude are, without reference to rank, religion, or party, bestowed indiscriminately ilpon his whole people. • The fact is itself one of the surest evi dences of a Constitutional. Government, and practically illustrates the impartiality with which the laws of the country are administered, and the wisdom with which its affairs are conducted by the Executive. Such occasions as the pre sent. Royal Visit, and that to Ireland last year, are therefore sources of the sincerest pleasure to every loyal mind, and every admirer of our MO narchial institutions. His Majesty, though the ruler of the freest and the happiest nation upon the earth, does not proceed to the Northern or Western part of the United Kingdom with the grovelling and prying sullenness of a task-master going about to inspect his labourers, like the head, or rather the servant of modern Republicanism.— Neither does he enter his cities as the exulting destroyer of other nations, exhibiting their spoils and recalling their blood and tears, like the Kings or Consuls of old. The an nouncement of his Majesty's presence in any part of his dominionsi on the con trary, heightens and animates the whole scene long before he appears himself, and when he does arrivs, it is undoubtedly as a victor, but a victor over the hearts of his people, who make a Pro cession for him of the emblems and types of the privileges and blesSings they possess under his reign, and exhibit their own happiness, and sing heir own songs of joy, as the , liest memorial of, a vise and benignant Monarch. [BRITISH PRESS. The termination of the Session of Parliamen naturqlly leads to a retrospect of its labours They have been of a lower excitement than those of several other Sessions within - the last twenty five years, but of no less importance than th e most busy and anxious. They are not so much remarkable for their direct efficacy, as for their pregnancy with the matter of deeper and more important events. They clearly mark the crisis of the military fever and spirit of foreign do mination which have made the councils and exploits of • this kingdom at once the hatred and admiration of the nations of Europe. At the commencement of the sittings there did linger somewhat of the old hectoring style in the orations of the Noble Marquis, the Foreign Se cretary. His opprobrium of the, Spanish and Por tuguese revolutions were thought at the time to indicate a mad continuance in the projects of the Holy Alliance. The Earl of Liverpool said something of the new Constitutions scarcely more civil. But it would not do any longer.— Perhaps we owe it to agricultural distress. So it was, that the country gentlemen were able to perceive for the first time the malevolent ab surdity of a Government opposipg the most rea sonable and moderate improvements in the worst governed States. Even Lord St4nley took fire at last—and, forgetful of his effective sup, port of the six Acts, did so belabour the pragmatic legitimacy of the polite Marquis with the doctrines of the Bill of Rights, that St. Stephen's was filled with wonder, and it is said Mr. Wilberforce and the Saints looked to be witnesses of a second visitation with the gift of tongues. Meantime the secret scales of the Cabinet seemed to have been completely equi poised with regard to the revolutions. The Spanish Minister was refused admittance at Court, most likely by way of preparation for his prompt and disgraceful dismissal, in case of successful counter-working, then evidently much hoped for. The progress of the Session seemed by degrees to have done away the most dis tant prospect of interference. This is the only in stance, since that of the Property Tax, in which the voice of Parliament has been effectually op posed to the avowed or implied wishes of the Mi nister, with the entire concurrence of the people. Was this to be attributed to the independence and integrity of Parliament ? The result ought to satisfy us; but doubts will linger that it was more owing to the sensitiveness of the great land lords,' who just then began`to discover that, what ever the management of the war, the expence first or last must mainly devolve on the lands. IRELAND.—EXECUTION OF NINE M EX.-0 11 Thursday last were executed in front of the new County Gaol, Limerick, James Cleary, James Browne , Thomas Neill, Thomas Gorman, and John APDonough, or the murder of 'the Shanagolden postboy, on the 21st of. March. Of these five, two were only 21 years of age, and the other three did not exceed 21i. And on this day (Saturday), William Walsh, Lawrence Walsh, Edmond Dooley, and. William Martin, re ceived a similar ignominious death at the same place, for the murder of young Mr. Hoskins. They all appeared resigned to their fate, and acknowledged the justness of their sentence. — From the moment of their conviction they hail attended' to the admonition of their pdstor with becoming seriousness.and con trition.—(Limerick Paper, August 3.) ._';'UICJDE.-Yesterday afternoon an Inquisition was held at the Jolly Gardeners in Rochester-row, Tothill •fields, before J. H. CELL, Esq., on the body of Miss Maitha' Sims, a maiden lady, aged 85, who hung herself on the pre ceding day at her lodgings in Brunswick-low, 'Westminster. —lt appeared from the evidence of Mrs.. Bevin, a woman who resided in the same house with the deceased, that she was informed of the occurrence by a man in whose room she lodged, that some misfortune had happened, as he had fallen over her legs, he being a blind man; and on entering the apartnient she ° found the deceased hanging from 'the bed-post, who appeared quite dead. • She had been noticed for some days to be in a ycry feeble state, and apparently childish. The poor old man had only left her while he went to procure some sausages for dinner, and it was during his temporary absence that she committed the deed.—The Jury, without any hesitation, returned a ver dict, That the deceased committed the rash act while labouring under a state of insanity. FOR THE SUN. LETTER XVIII. Mu. EDITOR—The Constitution has withstood .he most insidious attack that had ever been made upon the venerable Fabric ; and the cock atrice's egg, which, had it been thoroughly hatched, would have produced a serpent, has happily been ci ushed. The Roman Catholic Peers' Bill was, indeed, a most specious and deep device—a master-stroke, to take the Citadel by surprise ; as it was imagined that the admis sion of seven Romish Peers into the House of Lords, on the pleas of justice and their high cha racters, might more easily have been effected, than at once to break' through all the guards placed around the Constitution by the wisdom of our ancestors—that once obtained, the rest must follow of course ; and the whipt-sillabub speech with which it was introduced, " Dazzled the eyes and bewilder'd the brains" Of too great a number ; but it could not impose upon a man of Mr. Peel's strong understanding and quick discernment ; and he fully and ably refuted all the sophistical arguments of the Right Honourable Mover of . the Bill. The luminous and argumentative speeches also of the Earl of Liverpool, the Lord Chancellor, and the Lords Colchester and Redesdale exposed at once the iniquity of the stratagem, and the danger with which it threatened the Constitution in Church and State as settled at the glorious Revolution. To the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Shrews bury, and the Lords Stourton, Petre, Arundel, Dermor, arid Clifford, as individuals, there could be no objection : the objection to the religion they profess, which has been " able to work it self into the simple, grand, sublime, holy insti tution of Christianity ; and so to intervene in its abominations with the truth, as to 'occupy the strongest passions of the soul, and to controul the strongest understandings;" it is againSt Po pery the objection lies ; and from Popery arises the danger to a Protestant State; Popery, that " forms manacles and mufflers for the human mind ;" thereby debarring its votaries of the privilege of rational creatures to judge for them selves ; Popery, that holds these two master principles as fundamental, " that we must believe as the Church ordains, and that there is no sal vation out of that Church." No Roman Catho lic, therefore, can be master of his thoughts, still less of his actions. He " must believe as the Church, ordains," however contrary to the light of reason and to common sense. He must obey all the mandates of the " infallible Church," however contrary to his duty of allegiance, his principles of honour, or his feelings of huma nity.. He must, as I shewed in my Fifteenth Letter, violate his marriage vows, repudiate the wife, probably of his affections, and desert his offspring, if the " Holy Father," or one of his vassal Priests, shall so ordain ; or the last Sacrament of the Church will be withheld from him in his dying moments—a threat that no Ro ' man Catholic can withstand. The present Pontiff seems well disposed to regain his spiritual authority in the Christian world, if we may judge by the re-establishment, shortly after his restoration to his dominions, of that infernal tribunal, " the Holy Inquisition ;" and of that Society of religiously political Blood hounds, the Jesuits, who had been expelled from every State in Christendom, Popish as well as Protestant, but who have once more gained-foot ing in the British Isles. Suppose, then, that Mr. Canning's dangerous Bill had passed both Houses of Parliament, and .received the Royal Assent (which last, I am convinced, never could have happened); and that « His Holiness," wishing, as doubtless he does, to regain .his spi ritual authority in the British dominions, should command those seven Noble Lords to promote his views by every means in their power, both in Parliament and out of it, —will any man say that they dare to refuse implicit obedience to his decrees, with the terror of excommunication, and its consequent refusal of the last Sacrament held over them ? No 1 . Sir, " all the blood of all the Howards" could not resist such au thority, and so enforced ; and, with such auxili aries as those at Stonyhurst in Lancashire, and. in the county of Kildarei in Ireland, it wonl4 be difficult to say what might not be effected; In the event of the resuscitation of , Papal Tyranny in the British. Dominions, some persons who have advocated the cause of Popery may have cause to repent them of their infatuation, when too late. I mean those whose families have been enriched by what Papists consider to have been the C 4 spoils of Mother Church," under a " profane usurpation" for, if the. Pope should ever have the power, there can be little doubt, at least, that he would attempt to rescind those im pious grants, under which many hold their im mense possessions ; so that Woburn Abbey, after due exorcism, might once more become the re treat of holy Monks, in which to mortify their carnal lusts ; and the Chief of the Noble House of_ Bentinck might have no dependence but his Lady's fortune, which certainly could not be considered as the spoliation of the Church.—Some of those advocates have certainly shewn that they possess minds superior to all narrow` prejudices, by ,their liberal• contributions to " the suffer ing Hone," who has been described by Mr., Gifford, Editor of the Quarterly Review, as 44 the.. mocker of his God—the rude scorner of his Saviour—the buffoon parodist of Holy Writ— the obscene caricaturist of his Prince—the cold blooded, heartless, malicious infidel, who labours day and night, to rob the sick of the consolation of their religion, and the dying of their hopes of immortality." But they will do -well to remem ber that, should Popery be re-established in its former splendour and power, there would be a greater likelihood that they would be plundered of their present large possessions, than that they should be further enriched by the revenues of the Protestant Church, as their ancestors had been, by those of the Romish, on the abolition of Monasteries. • As good, however; sometimes arises from evil, I trust that this happy consequence will result from Mr. Canning's late Popery Bill—that the spirit it has aroused throughout the Empire will not again be lulled into criminal supine ness and fatal security, as had been too frequently _ the _ case _with Protestants after a victory ; while their adversaries are ever vigilant, and are never discouraged by a defeat,from per severing in the pursuit of the object of their am bition. Let Protestants, therefore, since they have awoke from their dream of security, watch with jealous care over their dearest interests — the blessings of religious and civil liberty, which they derived from their ancestors, as a sacred deposit, to be transmitted unimpaired to their posterity. Let them bear in mind, that the grand attack, supported by all that artifice can devise —all that sophistical reasoning, exaggerations, and misrepresentation can essay—is to be made, early in the ensuing session of Parliament, upon that Constitution, under which they enjoy those blessings. They cannot in ,future plead ignor ance, or that they were taken by surprise ; for it has been mentioned in all the .public prints, that the Petition of the Roman Catholics of Ire land, adopted in the "Metropolitan Chapel," in the city of Dublin, on the 13th of February last, has been withheld in the present session, only on account of the rebellion, which, it was supposed by the advocdtes of Popery, would be likely to militate against their views .; and it has also been mentioned from authority, that, early in the en suing Session, a Bill will be brought into' the House of Commons, made up of shreds and patches of Popish loyalty, Popish forbearance, Popish grievances, Popish numbers, Popish rights, and Popish bulls, from the same trash bag, (the Lord Chancellor, in the debate on the Roman Catholic Peers' Bill, declared, that the Bill of last Session was the greatest TRASH ever submitted to that HOuse ; so that the simile of a trash-bag, though not very elegant, is at least allowable) from which the former had been pro duced. Let those Protestants that set a proper value upon the blessings they enjoy under our present happy Constitution, solemnly enjoin their Representatives in the House of Commons, to' oppose that Bill on its first introduction ; and, if their instructions shall be disregarded, it will be their bounden duty to remember, at the next general election, those apostates, who shall have betrayed the trust reposed in them. Had they earlier attended to this their duty, there would not- have been a majority in favour of Mr. Plun kett's famous Bill of the last Session, nor for Mr. Canning's dangerous one of the present ; so happily for the best interests of the country re jected in the House of Lords. Before the operation of _the Convention Act compelled those agitators to dissolve their illegal assembly, the " Catholic Board" , issued a Pro clamation, "commanding , all Roman Catholic Freeholders to make their votes available, by registering them in time ; and steadily to resist the pretensions of any candidate, who would not 'unhesitatingly pledge himself to the support of Catholic Emancipation ; or who had lent himself, on was likely to lend himself to an Administra tion that had ever been hostile to their claims." In my fourteenth letter I mentioned that, dur ing the election in this City in the year 1812, the terror of excommunication was resorted to, to compel Roman- Catholics to vote for the advocate of Popery, in violation of their promises to their respective landlords. I shall now only add that, dpring the contested election for this City, in the year 1818, an inconsiderable number of Roman Catholics voted for the late Colonel Longfield, from motives of gratitude for past kindnesses : the consequence was, that on the following Sun day their names, together with their trades and places of residence, were posted upon the doors of all the Chapels ice Cork, to prevent the or thodox from dealing with or employing them.— These circumstances shew the persevering spirit of% the votaries of Popery to promote their views ; and they hold out to Protestants, not only a warning to guard against such machinations, but also an useful example; for it was and is la mentable to observe the apathy with which some have regarded, and do regard, the storm that threatens to involve our ecclesiastical and civil Establishments in ruin. All those, therefore, that have a just value for the blessings they enjoy under our present Constitution—blessings un known in countries where Popery is the dominant religion--will do well in future " steadily to resist the pretensions of any candidate who shall not un hesitatingly pledge himself to support" that Con stitution in Church and State, as settled at the Revolution ; or. " who has lent himself, or is likely to -lend himself," to .a faction that has ever been hostile to religious and civil liberty, as en joyed under that Constitution. From some hints I have received,' I am not without hopes that a certain Learned Body, when the power shall have been restored to them, will not forget some recent events : indeed it appears a strange ano maly, that an University, erected for the ex-. press purpose of supplying the Protestant Re formed- Church established by law 44 with a suc cession of pious and learned Divines," should be represented by a person, let his talents be what they may, who has uniformly supported the claims of those that are avowedly hostile to that Church ; those that have declared her to be " A 44 NOVELTY, with the marks of ruin upon her"— " THE INTRUSIVE CHUItCH"- 44 the most over " whelming current of bigotry and intoler cc ance that ever disgraced any country ;" those that claim her " enormous and misapplied reve nues, as the first consequence of emancipation, if meant to satisfy the Roman Catholics of Ire land." Surely, Sir, the learned and pious Heads of that University must be strangely infatuated, if they shall again choose as their Representa tive the man, however gifted by nature, --- who can advocate such a cause. . Some fastidious per sons, too, have been of opinion that the late and present state of Ireland considered, it had been better, if the Right Honourable and Learned Member for the University. had followed the ex ample of his predecessor in office, who was al ways at his post ; though an open rebellion did not desolate the country, however, it was agi tated, during the number of years that he dis charged the duties of his high office, with honour to himself, and advantage to the public. His great mind was superior to the, empty , and -tran sient bubble, popularity. He had no schemes of aggrandizement, or party, to promote; and, in watching over' the interest- of his Sovereign, at the seat of Government, which must ever be inseparable from that of the Constitution an in aiding by his .advice the Councils of the State he thought he best fulfilled the duties of a sub ject, and of the first Law-officer of the Crow' Though no longer in office, yet he has not red tired from the Council Board, as many 10 ' 1 4 have done; but, in this time o f public dog'. and calamity, contributes, by his transcen den t talents and profound legal knowledge, to the re storation of peace and good order in this I ° ° ! agitated country ; while his successor in offiCe gaining applause by his speeches in the House of Commons. I had intended in this Letter to have made t a few remarks upon some late gross and fingr ati misrepresentations as to the Romish population °I Ireland, whether proceeding from ignorance, which would be inexcusable in Legislat nr !' or from evil design, which would be crinn' t nal, I cannot determine : but the su b j ; e n c g would lead me into too great length, h as ', already trespassed upon your valuable PaP er to ' and I shall postpone the consideration of it another opportunity, recommending, in the mea t li time, the following passage from a sermon Pre aclie to by Bishop Sherlock, on the 7th of June, 1 71 " s , the serious attention of your Protestant Reader f CC Our fathers who lived under the dread ° " Popery are most of them gone off the stage; and have carried with them the experience' " which we their sons stand in need of, to nl9ll " us earnest to preserve the blessings of ii hert a cc and pure religion, which they have bequeat h ' "to us.
