THE LONDON JOURNALS. ZXTRACTS FROM THE D I F.Y MORNING PAPERS November 20, 1822. [MORNING POST.] The French Papers to the 18th inst. contain intelligence from Spain which contributes still more . powerfully than the recommendations of the friends of peace and .of the Bourbon Dynasty, to cool. the ardour of the Ultras for war. Mina's successes follow each other without intermission, and although his operations embrace . a vast ex panse of country, they are carried on with a degree of Skill, ensemble, and activity which produces decisive results.. The taking of Castel follit, the dispersion of Quesada's army, and the defeat of the Baron d'Eroles, have now been crowned by the occupation of Balaguer, which was lately represented as the chief bulwark of the Insurgents, though, since its capture, it seems to. have changed its nature, and is described, by the Ultra Journals, " as a town without fortifica tions, merely surrounded by a wall, and only re markable on account of its position on the de clivity of a mountain." This attempt to under value the importance of Mina's conquest, is how ever, entirely defeated by the following admis sion : 46 I t is in consequence of that event that the Regency has transferred its seat to .Puycerda." [BRITISH PRESS.] Tranquillity appears to be perfectly restored in the long-disturbed districts of the South and ►Vest of Ireland. This happy change is attri buted to the judicious manner in which the laws have been carried into effect, and the increased confidence and energy of the resident Gentry and Magistracy, which are now considered safficient to repress any disposition to further outrage on the part of the peasantry. The efforts making for a repeal of the Union are severely censured by the liberal and independent part of the public Press, in which they are as crihed to the discontent of the Orange party, ex cited by the discouragement which they have experienced under the present Government. A petition; prepared by persons of that description, is now in course of signature in the city of Cork, praying Parliament to dissolve the Union, and similar efforts are making in Dublin ; but no one considers the object attainable, or that these petitions are really designed for the purpose they profess. . [MORNING HERALD.] Tuesday Afternoon, Four o'clock.—Consols have been heavy during the day, and at a late hour there were many unfavourable reports in circulation, and an express was said to have ar rived with intelligence of a warlike tone from the Continent. Private letters, however, dated from Paris, on Sunday, are of a more favourable tenor. An extensive broker, whose very coun tenance is watched with anxiety by three-fourths of the monied world, was observed to be in the vicinity of the Stock Exchange at an unusually late hour, and more business was done after the close of the Exchange than during the preceding part of the day. Consols closed at S 1 with a heavy market, and for the new account 82: [NEW TIM Es.l Last night we received the Paris Journals of Sunday. They contain nothing from Verona. 'lt appears from an extract from a private letter, dated Frankfort, Nov. 12; that great agitation had pre vailed there in consequence of vague reports that differences had arisen between the Sovereigns and Ministers at the Congress. The attendance of an Ambassador from Bavaria had caused an expecta tion that the Constitutions of the German States were to be discussed ; but it was thought more probable that Austria was about to propose some territorial indemnity to Bavaria for the cessions made by that kingdom, in consideration of which Austria pays now a fixed sum annually. It is mentioned, that a Deputation from the Greek Provisional Government was at Ancona at the date of the' last advises. It was not known whether they ,would be able to obtain passports to Verona. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] • One of the strongest arguments in favour of general Revolution is to be found in the present state of alarm and uncertainty with respect to the fate of the nations of Etirope. Two hundred mil lions of human beings may be precipated into war, and doomed to suffer all its horrors by 'a decision - to, which their consent has never been asked, and which depending on the caprice of two or three irresponsible individuals, and not on any certain principles, it is impossible for them even to anticipate. We attempted some time ago to shew, that in Republic's or countries under a Constitution where the Government followed the general will, this sort of uncertainty could never exist, because the opinions and wishes of a whole people must be governed by general laws, and were therefore removed from the influence of caprice. A pure Monarchy, on the other hand, we maintained, is a just subject of alarm to its neighbours, because, though the decisions of a multitude of men must be governed by general laws, the decision of a single individual may be governed by caprice, and no safe conclusion can ever be drawn with re'spect to it. [THE TIMES.] Some expressions, it appears, in the Archbishop of Dublin's charge twills clergy, have given great umbrage to the Catholics, Laymen as well as Priests. The most obnoxious passage of the Archbishop's address was that wherein he described the Cathplic body as having 64 a church without a religion." We remember a former Archbishop of Dublin, the late Lord Normanton, who differed from Dr. Magee on that subject; for he admitted that Popery was a religion ; adding, merely, that it was ", a religion for knaves 66 or fools." The authority of these two distin guished Prelates is so grave, and their names stand so eminent- as Protestant Churchmen, that we , most presume 'them to have understood better than their neighbours in what form of language' to convey the most suitable rebuke to an erring and sinful multitude. Thus, ea many of the deluded, it is probable that silence has been imposed by tile severity re sorted to; and if in other cases it has given rise to controversy, doubtless also conversion may have sometimes followed. It must not be con cealed, however, that symptoms are at this mo ment observable of extreme exasperation in the minds of the Irish Catholics, who conceive them selves injured, and (what we are sure they ought not to feel themselves) deliberately insulted, by an accusation from so venerable a quarter that they have "no religion." Under this impres sion, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Ar magh, Dr. Curtis, has written a letter to the Dublin Evening Post, in which he deprecates and condemns the charge adduced by the digni tary of the Established Church, as tending to provoke ungovernable irritation among the of fended Catholics. MRS. GARRICK. To the Editor Ville Bath Chronicle. SIR —That we should speak no harm of the dead, is a rule which, together with many other prudential and salutary maxims, has, I fear, been overset in the revolutionary progress of modern opinion ; but if generosity is to be proscribed, let us at least continue to be just. I was sorry to observe, last week, in your valuable paper; which I am accustomed to consider as conducted with equal liberality and good judgment, that you had given admission to the trivial, but ill-natured, details of the domestic privacy of the late Mrs. Garrick, which have been so unaccountably and disgustingly forced upon the public in almost every London journal. That age should have its foibles and its frailties, is a privi lege which may well be conceded to it, as long as no other stage of life- is exempt from them ; but what has the public to do with them in the life of a private individual ? Of what import ance is it to any one in what manner Mrs. Garrick dined, or in what room she sate or slept ? Who has been wronged or who concerned, if she was over abstemious in her diet, or over sparing in the ecomomy of her dwelling ? I forbear to mention the many other trivial circumstances with which her memory has been charged. They would be unworthy of notice, if true ;, but what shall we say if even those silly reports were un founded ! Mrs. Garrick, whose social qualities were of the most pleasing nature, laboured for many years past under a chronic disorder which wholly precluded her from the society of the table, and even rendered the act of eating an office of pain and difficulty. So much for her diet. With regard to the apartments which she occupied, having been long in the habit of visiting her frequently in the Adelphi, I can bear witness that she inhabited constantly the drawing-room (or ; first) floor of her house, and that in the winter season I have always found her by the side of an excellent fire, stir rounded with all the comforts which her easy fortune was so well able to supply, and her natural disposition so well calcu lated to enjoy. I need not tell you, Mr. Editor, to what points the above remarks arc designed to reply. I shall add a few words more in , answer to a short sentence in your paper re specting her temper in the decline of life. Mrs. Garrick, from the period of her early retirement from professional duties, was of eminence only for her excellent conduct as a wife, and her devoted constancy of affection as a widow. As a private gentlewoman, she was conspicuous for a clear and quick intellect, a peculiar sprightliness of thought, a native gaiety of heart, and friendliness of disposition. These qualities, as they rendered her acceptable and interetting to others, maintained also in herself a complacence of mind which made life a scene of uninterrupted enjoyment ; the more secure, as it rested finally on a religious and lively sense of her dependence on the Author of all Good, which taught her to. prize, with due thankfulness, the blessings lie had bestowed on her through the whole extent of a long protracted life ; for, with the happiness of temper which distinguised her, she reckoned age itself among the blessinn of her life, and raised, on every added day, her thoughts 'and voice to Heaven in grateful acknowledgment of its bounty. I remain, your's, &c. A LOVER OF TRUTH. *,,,* We feel pleasure in adopting the foregoing Letter, be cause we know that it was written by a Gentleman of great talents, learning, and taste, and of such conscientious rectitude, that he would never advance any thing that was not founded upon positive conviction of its truth. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ROYAL HUNT. Friday a large deer was turned out of the cart at Longford for the day's diversion. The assemblage of sportsmen was numerous. The (leer took by West Drayton and Ainsworth to the left of the Magpies through the inclosures towards Cow ley and Hillingdon, to the right across the Uxbridge road to wards Harrow-on-the-Hill. The deer then crossed the Pad dington Canal and up the bill to the left of Castlebar, taking by Harrow Wteald Common, where he ran into a Gentleman's en closed yard, and the hounds being up with him, he leaped into an open mit-hOuse,, at which place the huntsman and other sportsmen immediately took him. The place where the deer was taken is eighteen miles from Windsor. It was a spirited chase of upwards of two hours and a half. Many of the sports men's horses. were done up before the end of the chase, the ground being very wet. MATCH FROM CANTEBURY TO LONDON FOR 100 SOVEREIGNS. This match had excited much interest in the better part of the sporting world; Mr. Abernethy, the north country pedes trian, having matched himself to do the match from Canterbury to London against Lieutenant Hebercien's performance on the preceding day. The Lieutenant did his work well ih two mi nutes and a half Under eleven hours ; and the Performance was so out and out good, that two to one was betted upon time.— The Scotsman had his admirers ; anti odds against him Were_ taken freely. Mr. Abernethy went frchn Sittingburn to start with the umpire of his adversary only. He, wore flannel and thick shoes, and did his ground as follows :—First mile in nine minutes and twenty seconds ; And twenty miles in three hours and ten minutes. The Pcdpstrian halted five minutes, and proceeded regularly at work in full confidence of winning. He did the next ten miles in an hour and forty minutes, and took ten minutes rest. He kept at a winning pace throughout, and did •the fifty-six miles in ten hours and thirty-five minutes, fresh and welt BOXERS.

Last night Miss STEPHENS made her debut at the Perth Theatre, and was rapturously received by one of the most overflowing, and . certainly the most -brilliant audience 'ever seen in Perth. All the boxes were crowded, and a considerable part of the pit railed in. as boxes.—(Perthshire Courier.) A worthy Clergyman in Fife, having occasion, in the course of his sermon, to employ the word catastrophe, he explained to his attentive hearers that it signified " the end or tail of anything."— An honest woman, whose vocabulary was nat very extensive, considered the explanation a va luable additio❑ to her stock of knowledge, and stored the word in her memory, with the resolu tion of making use of it as she found occasion.— Some days after, seeing her minister ride past, she called to him, " Sir, there's a whin kow at your horse's catastrophe."—(Cupar Herald.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 19. THE KING V. NOEL. Mr. ScAnLET T moved for'a rule, calling on Mr. Noel, a Gentleman of Yorkshire, to show cause why a criminal infor mation should not issue against him, for sending a letter to Mr. Wilson, a neighbouring Gentleman, tending to provoke him to fight a duel. 'Mr. Noel wrote a letter to Mr. 'Wilson, charging him with having instructed one of his servants to warn him off his premises, to which Mr. Wilson returned a civil answer ; but at length Mr. Noel wrote, accusing Mr: Wilson of having procured the deputation of the manor of ilardlington for himself, which he had promised to obtain for him, and added, that " he would insult him publicly wherever he met him."—The Court granted a rule to show cause. The Court were occupied nearly the whole day in hearing the discussion of rules for new trials granted last term, in which nothing occurred of general interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOVEMBER 19. ST. JOHN V. SIR THOMAS CHAMPNEYS, AND COVENTRY V. THE SAME. These important cases were this morning decided. A rule was obtained some time back by Mr. Seageant Lawes to shew cause why the annuity granted by the defendant, in considera tion of the sum of 9,0001. should not be set a,sid2, and the deed securing the same cancelled, part of the consideration money having been repaid, the addresses of the witnesses in the me morial not having been described, and the names of all the par ties beneficially interested not having been named therein. Mr. Sergeant PEAK followed on the same side. Messrs. Serjeants PELL and VAuartAikr, in showing cause against the rule, cited the 53d of Geo. 111., chap. 141, and the Act of the 3d of Geo. IV., chap. 32, and several cases in point, viz. Dancon and Lincoln, 5, Barnewall and Alderson, 144, and Ist Maland, Selwyn's Reports, 103 ; and also Smith and Pritchard, and contended, that the word " of" which follows the letters E. F. and G. H., mentioned in the Act of the 53d of Geo. 111., did not mean that the subscribing witnesses to an annuity deed should describe their actual place of residence, that is their places of sleeping, but meant, according to the doctrine laid down in Haslope, v. Thorne, in B. and A. Re ports, that it was their places of abode, where they constantly were in the day time, which opinion the Legislature, according to the last Act of Parliament, of the 3d Geo. IV., meant to be the case ; and not according to the doctrine laid down by the Court of King's Bench, in the case of Danson v. Lincoln, in Barnet all and Anderson's Reports. The CIIIEF JUSTICE, in a luminous speech, recapitulated the whole of the case, dwelling particularly on the arguments used by Serjeants Pell and Vaughan. His Lordship con cluded by saying, that neither justice nor law required the in terference of this Court to set this annuity aside; and I sug gest, said his Lordship, for the consideration of Sir T. S. Champneys, whether it might not be better to take until the next Term to consider as to the other case of Gordon, the third annuitant, in which Sir Thomas, who was present, seemed to acquiesce. • HIGH COURT OH ADMIRALTY, Nov. 19: TIIOMPSON V. PRAYER. This is the case relating to the capture of La Esperanza, a Spanish merchantman, in the harbour of Buenos Ayres, in the year 18011 with the particulars of which our Readers a re alre a dy acquainted.—Lord STOWELL now delivered his judgment, con tinuing the warrant for the division of prize-money between Sir Beresford and the land forces, and Capt. Thompson and the crew' of the Pegasus. REYNOLDS IN THE CASE OF THE MATCHLESS. This was the case of an appeal from the Vice-Admiralty Court of Newfoundland, which had condemned the Matchless" schooner from Halifax, as having on board corn, flour, and other goods, under the management and controul of one-Chiever, a subject of the United-States, in the character, as was contended, of factor. It was admitted that the latter was an alien born, but it was asserted that the cargo and vessel were the property of British subjects, that the consignor and consignee were Bri tish, and that Chiever was merely a supercargo. The chief point Was the real character of Chiever, and whether he was a factor within the meaning of the different Acts for regulating our colonial trade. Lord STOWELL intimated that he should take time to con cider his judgment. Pim the LONDON GAZE'T'TE of Nov. 19. BANKRUPTS. E.

DISGRACEFUL TRANSFER.—A fellow of Not tingham, wearing his MAJESTY'S uniform, on Saturday last, delivered his wife (a decent look ing woman) with a halter round her arm, to a man dressed in a smock frock, who had previously agreed to give the vender ss. for his goods, and paid the purchase money on delivery. The trans action took place in the open market-place of that town. A man, whose real name appears to be John Harris, and who turns out to be a deserterfrom the 2d regiment of Foot, was apprehended in a street row on Monday night at Leeds, by the watch. Harris was disguised in the dress of a gamekeeper. The Captain foun'd upon him a valuable diamond ring, a 101. bank -note, and silver; he then called himself John White. The accoun t being unsatisfactory he was detained, and the following day led to his identity and the discovery of 93 sove reigns which he had deposited in the hands of a person that was known to him. He has since admitted that he was a servant to Lieut.-Col. be Burg, the gentleman wha no doubt has been robbed by him, of the 2d Foot, whom he left abruptly about a fortnight ago, 'at his house, 23, Chapel-street, Grosvenor: place, London.—( Lineoln Gazette.) . _ _ _ The scarlet fever is still raging 'very severely in Brechin and its neighbourhood, particularly among the young. Last week three of one family died of that malignant disease, within a few days of each other. FOR THE SUN. BIBLE ASSOCIATION. MIL EDlTOR—Omitting all discussion as to the truth or inaccuracy of your late Correspondent's statement respecting this Institution, in his master ly critique, or review of Mr. NORRIS'S Work, I beg permission to state• that he has committed a - gross error in his zeal for the welfare of the Esta blished Church, in an attack upon a private in dividual, whom he unhesitatingly pronounces to be a Calvinist ; I mean Dr. 0. Gregory. Now, Sir, I will venture to affirm, that the Author of the Article to which I have alluded, knows no thing whatever of the Gentleman whom I have men tioned; and, moreover, that be never opened any religious Work of which that individual was the author. But, I imagine, that it is only from an inspection of these works that a correct statement of his principles can be made; such, I appre hend are the regular criteria by which we are to judge of individuals who present themselves, or are presented by others to the notice of the Public. Yet your candid and manly corre spondent has been content, I think, to take the rumours which malice or envy have spread abroad, without troubling himself any further in the mat ter, than as the introduction of a name or two into his well-selected and made-up article, might give an air of importance to it, which otherwise were they omitted, nothing worthy of attention would remain in it ; the whole of it being composed of materials which your Paper presented for his judgment some weeks ago. It happens that I am not one of those who take every thing as fact upon hearsay, or think myself's() delicately minded, that I shall be warped in my principles by the perusal of any work upon the subject of religion, which may happen to be pub lished. Among others, I have had the satisfac tion of reading Dr. Gregory's Letters on the Christian Religion, from which, I subjoin an ex tract : " I have not argued, nor will I argue, exclu sively in favour of Calvinism, or Arminianism, or Methodism or any set of opinions of human fabrication ; but shall endeavour to attain that middle point, where all that is good in either seems to meet, and all that is excevionable to be excluded ; and therefore, shall defend those sen timents and doctrines which are so clearly con tained in the Bible, that none deny them who are not in consequence compelled to give up the au thority of some parts of Sacred Writ, which were held and taught by the ablest and best men in the three first centuries—which warmed the breasts of saints and martyrs,—which have in spired the hopes and regulated the conduct of a great majority of pious men in all ages of the universal Church, which, through the provi dence of GOD, have been inserted in the formu laries of most established Churches, and which, if language have a plain and obvious interpreta tion, are defined in the Articles, incorporated in the Ritual, and enforced in the Homilies of the Church of England." And in further illustra- tion of the principles of this individual, he has added the note, which now follows, " Let it be observed that when the Rernonstrants assert that Christ died for all mankind, merely to purchase conditional salvation for them, and when those who profess to be the strictest Calvinists assert that Christ died only and merely to procure ef fectual pardon and salvation for the elect ; it is not because the whole Scripture every where ex pressly or plainly reveals or asserts the particular sentiments of either of these sects, with an exclu sion of the other, but the reason of these diffe re'nt assertions of men is this, that the Holy Writers in different texts, pursuing different sub jects, and speaking to different persons, some times seem to favour each of these two opinions ; and men, being at a loss to reconcile these by any medium, run into different extremes, and en tirely follow one of these tracks of thought and neglect the other. But, surely, if there can be found a way to reconcile these two doc- trines of the absolute salvation of the elect, by the.obedience, righteousness, and death of Christ, procuring it for them, with all things necessary to the possession of it; and also of the conditional salvation provided for all mankind, and offered to them in the Gospel, through the all-sufficient and overflowing value of, the obedience and suf ferings of Christ; this will be the most fair, natural, and easy way of reconciling these differenCtexts of Scripture, without any strain or torture put upon any of them."—Dr. Watts. In the Preface to the 'Work Dr. G. has said— " I have therefore entered pretty much at large into the establishment and defence of the leading doctrines which distinguish Christianity from all other religious systems. In the 'choice of these ',have kept almost entirely out of sight the higher points which separate the Armenians from the Calvanists ; while I have attempted to illustrate and cafirm, as essential, those grand doctrines in which both Armenians and Calvinists, and, indeed, the great majority of ,Christians, differ from the Socinians. The truth is, that upon most of the questions which have long di vided, and still continue to agitate, the Christian world, my mind is nearly in a perfect state of neutrality ; so that I cannot bring myself to attach much importance to any question which is not .•bviously favourable or unfavourable in its moral tendencies or which does not appear to me fundamental, that is, which does not in some way affect the grand doctrine of man's redemp tion through the crucifixion of " the Soh of God," with all Christians who in this respect " hold the head" and live conformably to the doctrine they profess, however they may be se parated upon minor topics, I am anxious to main tain and long to see universally prevail " the unity of the. Spirit 'in the bond of peace." If such is the language of a Calvinist, Mr. Editor, I confess, I do not know who can be e:tcluded from the accusation, if possessing the same, con ciliating and christian-like sentiments, constitutes such a theractee: Believe trte,' Mr. E clidt°r/.the ist time is not far distant, indeed, I think it n OW ar y when the folly of placarding over the Sanctu ous of the Established Church, " Be not rig hte . ou s overmuch," will be too manifest : the l icent i l nf will eagerly (and how lately have we h eara ; their doing so) carry it beyond its nlea nin g?.-- 1 . a total dereliction of every Christian It is to be regretted that there are writers h ra ti , have vanity and impudence enough to foist t e , selves into notice, under the false pretence ft criticising the work of others : who too barren in their own minds, desire to engraft a_slender re: putation upon the productions of others, and foolishly imagine they have summed up the mat' ter with the acumen of an old and experienced judge.
