THE LONDON JOURNALS, IXTRACTS FROM THE DULY MORNINg PAPERS ; November 15, 1822. [THE TIMES.] There are.few situations more painful than that of a, man, conscious of integrity, being called - open to answer a charge of baseness, of which he feels himself to be incapable, and of which he hid therefore thought it impossible to be accused. But there are occasions when accident may give such a specious colouring to calumny, than even honourable men may be temporarily seduced into a belief of it. Then it is, though with the titruost - reluctance, that the person traduced feels it a duty to come forward, and for the sake of his friends, no less than for his own reputation, to clear himself from the possibility of suspi cion. Such is the reasoning which has induced ns ta_ set forth an answer to a calumnious charge which has been brought against us.— We shall confine ourselves to a mere statement of " the accusation, and of the facts which will most satisfactorily refute it. A morning paper of yesterday contains the following eentence :—" Great astonishment and consider " able irritation was felt on the Exchange 44 yesterday, (Wednesday,) at The Times having " quoted the French rentes 2 per cent. lower " than they were when their own express came seaway."---Now, though we should hardly have noticed such an imputation proceeding from such a quarter, yet hearing that at least one honour able gentleman has either been deceived by this misrepresentation, or himself fallen unconsciously into the error, we proceed by stating the facts to correct his misconception. Our express left Paris at four o'clock on Monday afternoon, and contained, among other matter, the Cours Authciz tique, or authorized statement of the fluctuations of the French money-market, which is printed and published every day soon after three o'clock, the hour at which the regular public business of the French Exchange closes. It is true that after that hour, transactions in the nature of time bargains are still carried on, and that fluctuations take place as if the regular market was still open : but the only official authorized account of the day's business is the printed one to which we have already referred. It is true that on Mon day, the day in question, business was transacted as usual in the French money-market ; and that when the transactions were completed,, which on this occasion was at a late hour in the evening, four hours after our express left Paris, the renter had risen 2 per cent. above the price last quoted in the Cours Authentique ; but at four o'clock, the hour at which our express came away, the rentes had only risen a little more than one half per cent. above the printed price—that is, they were at S6f. 90c., instead of 861. 30c., the last price in the regular list. [MORNING. CHRONICLE.] Mr. Cobbett has attempted to skew, from the superiority of a French to a Spanish army, the worthlessness of soldiers, and their indifference to all but plunder and prostitutes ; their equal readiness to run their bayonets through a Philo sopher as throttg,ll a ,Priest ; that the Bourbons might easily march a very small army to Madrid. But if soldiers are indifferent to all but plunder and, prostitutes, Spain is not a country which, with respect to plunder at least, holds out a very eering prospect. Aud if 20,000 men could. March to Madrid with perfect ease, as he says, can Spain be held by such an army ? What would follow such an occupation ? A little time will clear up all doubts on the subject of war. We can only sa,i, that nothing which has taken place . at Verona justifies the apprehension ; and the 'pads reports are now pretty well appre eiated. [BRITISII PRESS.] Neither the Paris Papers nor private accounts having confirmed the warlike rumours of the week, the Funds revived yesterday to an extent exceeding the most sanguine expectation. Con sols opened at 821, and after considerable fluc tuation, looking to a rise, left off at nearly the same. This improvement was generally ascribed to, the arrival of an express from Paris, announc ing a corresponding rise in the French Funds, in consequence of a dispatch received by the French Government from Verona, the substance of which was considered conclusive of the conti nued tranquillity of Europe. That the contents were favourable may be inferred from the state of the French Funds on Tuesday. At four o'clock on that day the Rentcs were 88f. 90c., and at six o'clock in the evening they had risen to - fir'gr, 50c. [MORNING HERALD.] VERONA,. Tuesday, Nov.,s.—This.day, at one o!clock, a grand conference was held at the house of Prince Metternich, where all the high func tionaries attended in full assembly. The King of Prussia has set out on his excursion to the South of Italy, and i,s not expeCted to return be fore the beginning of next mouth. Various periods are assigned for the duration of the Con gress, but the-- prevailing opinion is, that it will oot last beyond the middle of December, and that within 15 days from the present time, the se veral Ministers will decide upon the final result. It is certain that the manly firmness of the Duke of Wellington, in opposing propositions 'which he Considers to be at variance with the interests of his country, is thought one of the greatest Obsta-' cles to an early conclusion. The Noble Duke, hOwever, is resolved to maintain his ground to' the last, and will not, in any instance, suffer him self to be lJetrayed into a temporising policy.— East night there was a general illumination throughout the town, in horiotir of. the Empress's Giorno OnOmastico, and all classes forsook • the theatres for the streets. There were neither devices nor transparencies ; yet, when the full splendour of the architecture was disclosed in a blaze of light, many of the buildings displayed an effect which nothing could enhance. [MORNING riosT.l The Paris Journals to the 13th inst. do not communicate any official intelligence respecting the course which it is now the intention of the French Government to pursue towards Spain, but the Quotidienne, probably encouraged by a slight improvement in the funds, has resumed all its military ardour, and boldly says, " it is evi dent that France means to have war, if the Cor tes persist in their fatal march, and there cannot be two opinions on that subject in the King's Council."—.That two opinions did exist on that important point, in the King's Council, was proved a short time since by the arguments used by the Ministerial Journals, to show the impro priety and danger of an armed interference in the affairs of Spain, and to vindicate the conduct of the Government in refusing to venture on such an interference. That those two opinions, however marked and clashing at the time, have since melted into one, appears undoubt edly to be the case, though the manner in which the amalgamation has been produced remains a secret for the public. But we should not he surprised to see them resume their indivi duality after the reception of a few diSpatches from Verona ; for it is impossible that Sove reigns and negociators, who, in contempt of hu manity, justice, and religion, exerted every nerve for a whole twelvemonth to prevent assistance being given to fellow Christians struggling with infidels and assassins, on the ground that war in its most distant extremity would endanger the saft ,, -y of all Europe, should now allow a fierce and deadly contest to be carried on in its very bosom, by two of its most powerful empires.— If insurrection could not be countenanced in Greece, where its objects consisted of all that is dear to man, and sacred in the eyes of God, can it be consistently cherished and assisted in Spain, where its avowed end is to re-enthrone Despot ism and Superstition ? TRI BUNAL ofeORRECTIONAL POLICE AFFAIR RELATIVE TO THE LETTER WRITTEN BY M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT TO THE PROCUREUR-GENERAL MANGIN. PARIS, OCT. 6. M. Chretien de Poly, President.—What are your surname and Christian names ? M. Benjamin Constant.—Before I answer your question, I must renew the protest which I have already made in this place, and declare that I consider this tribunal incompetent to judge me, on account of the nature of the letter on which the charge is grounded, and which was merely a consequence of the speeches which I delivered in the Legislative Tribunal, and also on account of my rank of Deputy, and the preroga tives thereto belonging. President.—You may.bring forward your objections at a fu ture time. What are your surname and Christian names ? M. B. Constant now answered this question. President.—What is your rank ? M. B. Constant.—Member of the Chamber of Deputies. President.—Ex-Member of the Chamber— M. Constant.—No, M. President: lam now Deputy of La Sarthe. President.—The electoral colleges are not yet assembled, therefor— Constant.—l wish to avoid discussing this question before the tribunal : however, since— President. —Besides, the tribunal has not to judge of your rank. Let the case proceed. Billpt, the substitute for the Procureur du R.oi, stated that M. B. Constant was accused of having insulted various Magistrates by the publication of the document entitled Lettre a M. Mangin, of which he acknowledged himself to be the author. M. Mollot, the Counsel for M. B. Constant, hoped that, con sidering the objection made by the accused to the ordinance of the Chamber of Council, the Court would be pleased to post pone its judgment on this queStion until after the decision that might be pronounced on thatolujection. • • The King's Advocatd observed, that should the. Court enter upon the examination of the merits of the objection either in its substance or its form, it would-be said that it was encroaching upon the privileges of another Court. Jiut would- the same re proach be well founded if, setting aside the substance and form, it should be proved that in no case the right of objection can belong to the accused ? The King's Advocate maintained that in common law the right of objection could only be exercised 'by a party in a civil suit, and by the public .prosecutor. He proposed that the Court should set aside the objections of M. B. Constant, and proceed with the pleadings. Mons. Mollot, in reply, defended the right of objection on the part of the accused ; and in support of his arguments re ferred to several articles of the law of the. 26th of May, 1819. (During Mons. 31ollot's reply, Mons. Vincent, one of the de puties of the Procureur de Rai, was observed to enter and hand a long roll of papers to the King's Advocate.) The King's Advocate.—ln spite of the efforts of counsel for the accused, -who has just been heard, we are of opinion that our powers remain undiminished. We will at present merely invoke the support of a respectable authority, which has just established by its decision the principles which we have pro fessed. Here, Gentlemen, are the grounds of the decision pro nounced this morning by the Chamber of Accusation on the objection of 31. B. Constant in the affair relative to his corres , pondence with M. Carrere. The King's Advocate then unrolled the paper which Mons. Vincent had presented to him,: and read the decision of the Chamber which overruled the objection of M. B. Constant. 31ollot made some observations on this decision, after which the Judges withdrew. having deliberated for half an hour, the Judges returned into Court, and the President delivered the judgment in nearly the following terms : • " Whereas the objection made by M. Benjamin Constant is rot opposed on the ground of form alone, as it is only neces sary to know whether the objection has been validly made by the accused—as the decision of this question rests with the Judges—as otherwise it would be in the power of every accused person to elude the decisions of justice by having recourse to grounds of objection not contemplated by the laws or expressly rejected by them ; whereas in an ordinary affair the right of objection to the ordinances -of the Chamber of Counsel be longs only to the public officers and the civil party ; whereas the laws of the 26th of May anti of the 25th of March, 'relative to the course of proceeding to be adopted in causes of offences of the press, have not, with respect to the right of objection, re pealed the common law ; whereas the 11th article of the law of Slay 26, 1822, decrees that the party - accused has the right of putting in a petition in support of his appeal, this article ought to be understood in a sense conformable to that of the 217th article of the code of criminal instruction, which gives to the accused the right of addressing memorials to the Chamber of Accusation, without, however, afilirdino• him the privilege of appealing against the ordinance which'' directed his being placed under accusation ;"_____‘‘ Whereas it also appears from the text and the terms of the. law of 25th March, 1822, that this laW has changed the jurisdiction established by the law of the 26th of Slay, 1319, and that it consequently intended to establish other rules of proceeding, and to reform those which had been introduced on account of the jurisdiction alone :—The Court, without regard to the exceptions and objections made by Si. Benjamin Constant, justify the prosecution, and order the pleadings to be proceeded with." The King's Advocate then spoke in support of the accusa tion ; after which, at the request of M. 11 ollot, the further con sideration of the case was postponed for a week. SUPERSTITION. - -Capt. STEWART, when cru►z ing of the Italian coast, had passed several days without seeing a ship. The men ascribed this unaus picious circumstance to the Captain's having taken a black cat on board from the last port they touched at. He immediately called the men aft, and asked them if it reatly was so? They, .without he sitation, confirmed the report.. " Overboard with the black cat !"- 46 That," excla;med. an old sea man, " is worse still ; she must be landed ." " Then lower away the jolly boat," said the Captain. The cat was safely landed with much formality on an island in sight, and that same night they took the best prize which they had captured in the Mediterranean." BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, &c. BURIAL OF CARDINAL WOLSEY. " This Cardinal, Though from an humble stock, undoubtedly, Was fashion'd to much honour from his cradle." SHAXSPEARE'S Henry VIII. The celebrated antiquary, BROWNE WILLIS, who received his education at Christ Church College, Oxford (founded by the Cardinal), took great pains a century ago to discover the place of his interment, with a view of removing his remains, and burying them at Oxford ; but the result was unsuccessful, nor is it now likely ever to be known what became of the body of this once great man ; the informa tion elicited from his inquiries is nevertheless cutious. " As to the great Cardinal Wolsey's sepulchre," says lie, in a letter to Dr. Charlett, " the best account I have met with is from one Mr. John Hasloe, whose grandfather, Arthur Barefoot, was gardener to the Countess of Devonshire, who lived at Leicester Abbey before the civil wars. He tells me that the church stood, part of it, in what is now a little garden, and the east end of it in the orchard (which was formerly called the New Garden), where his grandfather, with others digging, found several stone coffins, the cavities of which did not lie uppermost, but were inverted over the bodies. That among these he discovered Cardinal Wolsey's (Mr. Hasloe for gets by what means he knew it,) which the Countess would not suffer to be stirred, bat ordered it to be covered again, and his grandfather laid a great heap of gravel over it, that he might know the place, which gravel still remains there. " In short, as I have been ever zealous concerning this our founder, so 71 cannot but be pleased with whatever I dis cover about him, 'and it would be a great satisfaction to ma, and I should be willing to contribute thereto, if his body could be translated to Christ Church. This our College ought in gratitude to do. Methinks though lam but a mean person I would gladly undergo the charge of removing the Cardinal's body, if it was only into the next parish church, rather than it should rest so obscurely." He afterwards, in another letter to the same person, dated 1716, informs his friend of his going to Leicester to search for the Cardinal's coffin, which he had thoughts of having taken up and brought to Bletchley, to hold his own ashes. From this it appears that he found some coffin on the spot, which he conceived to be Wolsey's, but no body, in which case its identity must he very doubtful. Bishop Fanner in a letter to Dr.Charlett, written afterwards, says—"As for the place where the Cardinal himself was buried, our friend Tony from Cavendish tells, 'twas in St. Marie's chapel, in the Ab bey of Leyeester, but I don't find that one of those many de pendents and servants thaf, he had raised were so grateful as to erect the least monument for their master. I believe the place where his bones lay can't now be traced." The anecdote of his being placed in the stocks by Sir Amias Pawlet for speaking derogatively of that Magistrate, and the humble method the latter took to appease him when he rose to power, by placing the Cardinal's arms and conuzance over the Temple gateway, are well known. These a writer (1680) says, were then decayed, having been carved in a very mouldering stone, but the arms of Pawlet, with the quarter ings, remained there in glass until that day. The same writer continues—" Remains of 'him show that he was a great master of the Latin tongue. Dr. Pell tells me, that he finds in a preface to a grammar of one Haynes, schoolmaster of Christ Church, London, that 'twas 'he that made the Ac cidence' before, Lilly's Grammar,"—" He was a great buil der, as appears by Whitehall, Hampton Court, Esher, in Surrey, a noble house, built of the best burnt brick that ever I sawe ; stately gatehouse and hall. This noble house (a fit pallace for a Prince) was bought about 1666, by a vintner of London, who is since broke, and the house is sold and pulled downe to the ground, about 1678. I have the draught of the house among my Surrey papers. He had a very stately cellar for his wines, about Fish-street, called Cardinal Wol sey's Cellar. He built the stately tower at Magdalen Col lege in Oxford, and that noble Palace at Winchester (where he was Bishop) called Wolsey House. I remember it pretty well standing 1647 ; now I thinke it is most pulled downe.—. His noble foundation of his College of Christ Church, the pre sent Grand Duke of Tuscany was more taken with, when at Oxford, than all the rest of thebuildings he sawe there ; besides which he built several other places. Concerning this great Cardinale's fall, see the histories of the times. Returning to London from Yorke, he died at Leicester, where he lies buryed (to the shame of Christ Church men) yet without any monu ment. ". A palace or a colledge, for his grave, Yet here he lies interr'd, as if that all Of him to be rcmember'd were is fall. And though from his own store Wolsey might have Nothing but earth to earth,—nor pompous weight Upon him but a pebble or a quayte. If thou art thus neglected, what shall wee Hope after death, that are but shreds of thee ?" CHAUCER's OAK. " Dunnington Castle, near Newbury was his; a noble seate and strong Castle, which was held by Charles I. ; but since dismantled.—lllem. Neer this castle was an oak, under which Sir Geoffery was wont to sitt, called Chaucer's Oake, which was cut downe in the time of Charles I.; and so it was that the person who did it, was called into the Starre Chamber, and was fined for it. Judge Richardson harrangued against him long, and, like an orator, • had topiques from the Druids, &c.— His picture is at his old house at Woodstock, neer the parke gate, a foot high, halfe way. It has passed from proprietor to proprietor." PICTURE OF FAIR ROSAMOND. Dr. Gale, in a letter to Hearne, 1714, tells him of a picture of Fair Rosamond, which he had just purchased, and which he thus describes : - " I have nothing at present to entertain your speculations with, but only that I have lately and accidentally purchased an ancient but fine picture of the beautiful Rosamond. It is painted on a pannel of wainscot, and represents'her in a three quarter proportion, dressed in the habit of the times, a straight bodied gown of changeable red velvet, with large square sleeves of black flowered damask facings, turned up about the bend of her arms, and close sleeves of a pearl-coloured satin puffed out but buttoned at the wrist, appearing from tinder the large ones; she has several rings set with precious stones on her fingers.— Her breast, covered with a fine flowered linen, gathered close at the neck, like a ruff. Her face is charmingly fair, with a fine blush in her cheeks. Her hair of a dark brown, parted with a seam from the middle of her forehead upwards under her coi fore, which is very plain, but a gold lace appears above it, and it is covered with a small cap of black silk. She is looking very intensely upon the fatal cup, which she holds in one hand, and the cover in the other, as going to drink it. Before her is a table covered with black damask, on which there lies a Prayer Book open, writt in the ancient black character. The whole piece is extremely well preserved. I take it to have been done about Harry the Seventh's time." Whatever curiosity might be attached to this picture, as a work of art of the time mentioned, it could not, from the Doc tor's own account, have had the smallest claims to genuineness. The dress is not the dress of Rosamond's age, nor could the artist have had, so long after her death, any adequate autho rity to paint them. A picture of Jane Shoie, another unhappy Royal favourite, much later, still remaining in the Provost of Eton's lodgings, and which has been engraved, there is great reason to suppose is an original. SIR THOMAS MOORE. " After he was beheaded, his trunke was filtered in Chelsey Church, neer the middle of the south wall, where was some. slight monument erected, which being worm by time, about 1G44, a Knight of Chelsey (no kinne to him), at his own proper costs and chardges, erected to his memory a handsome monument of marble. His head was upon London-bridge ; and there goes this story in the family, viz. that one day, as one of his daughters was passing under the bridge-gate, looking on her father's head, sayd she • That head has layne many a time in my lappe, would to GoD it would fall into my lappe as I passe under.' She had her wish, and it did fall into her lappe, and is now preserved in a vault in the Cathe-, dral Church of Canterbury. The descendant of Sir Thomas is now (1680) Mr. Moore, of Chelston, in Herefordshire, where, among a great many things of value plundered by the soldiers. Was his chap, which they kept fox a relique. Methinks 'tis strange that all this time he is not canonized, for he merited highly of the church." ASIATIC LITERATURE. We lately heard that a Weekly Newspaper, conducted by Natives, and printed in the Ben gallee language, under the title of Sungbaud Cowmuddy, or the " Moon of Intelligence," was soon to be published in Culcutta. We have now the pleasure of informing the public, that ten numbers have already issued from the press, and that it seems to have met with every en couragement from the most enlightened of the Hindoos. As a fair specimen of its merits, we subjoin a few translations from the third Num ber, which, we doubt not, will be read with in terest, as we may say this is almost the first op portunity afforded us of knowing how the natives feel under the government of the ‘C Lords of Ilindostan." " BURNING DEAD BODIES.—The city of Cal cutta being very populous, about sixty or seventy Hindoos are dying every day. After they are dead, their relations take their corpses to Cossy Miter's Ghaut (the only one in this town), where they bnrn them, and perform other funeral rites. This Ghaut is about 15 cubits broad and 40 long within which space three or at most four piles of wood only can be heaped ; therefore the inconvenience that is experienced in burning the dead bodies of the Ilindoos will ap pear from the following description : when any person of a moderate fortune living at Jaun Bazar, and usually going about in a palanquin, _ has lost some of his relations, he experiences great difficulty in walking so far, in order to bring tl►e body to Cossy Miter's Ghaut at Bag bazar. Again, when he has reached the Ghaut, he finds three or for piles already burning, while five or seven others are ready to be burnt : some brought in the morning, others at noon, and this, that is just coming from .faun Bazar, at about 4 in the evening. When those three or four have been burnt away, those that were brought in the morning begin to be burnt about sunset, and are completed between ten and eleven at night. At this time, the water being raised, or, in other words, the flowing tide cowing in, prevents those corpses which had been brought at noon from being burnt, and they that had brought them ne- cessarily are obliged to wait the return of the ebb tide till six in the morning, when they begin their task, and leave those who have come from Jaun Bazar to burn their corpse about the noon, which they cannot finish before evening. This is the manner in which the Hindoo corpses are burnt. This is a very bad practice, and costs a great deal of trouble. First, as it is inconsistent with the general opinion and also the Shasters, to stale the corpse ; second, as our feelings are inexpressibly hurt, to wait at the burning ground with that ob ject in our bosom for whose loss we lament; third, as those persons who take the dead body to the Ghaut have been obliged, before the death of the patient, to attend upon him, and keep up whole nights without any food to themselves, and are now again obliged to do the same on the river Ganges; and, fourth, as,until these persons return home, no one there is allowed to eat any thing, but all must lie down lamenting. We therefore sincerely wish,that either a very wide Ghaut, where twenty-five or thirty dead bodies may be burned, or three or four more of the pre sent kind be made, so that the corpes, imme diately upon being taken to the Ghaut, be burned without any opposition or inconvenience. I pre sume that, when this circumstance is publicly known, the merciful rulers of this land, Who are doing every thing to make their subjects happy, will adopt some such measures as may tend to the abolition of this evil practice. They have grant ed extensive pieces of ground to the Moosulmans,l Armenians, Portuguese, and many other nations, for burying their dead, and they are more and more adding to those pieces of ground, for an other corpse cannot be buried in the same place where one has already been interred ; but such is not the case among the Hindoos, for they re quire only different piles of wood to burn their dead bodies, but not spots of ground. From this we presume to hope that the Hindoos will be able to meet with success from their generous and wise rulers. " Representation to Government.—We, the humble subjects of the province of Bengal, offer up heartfelt praise to the Governor General : as what is said, that " it is through the virtuous actions of the ruler of a country that it enjoys happiness," has been witnessed this year by every one, all the lands of this country affording abund ant crops of excellent grain, and almost every article of food becoming cheap; people have been cheerfully attending their respective duties, and spending their time contentedly, and the poor were happy to find rice and other things growing cheaper. But all this happiness is embittered by one very sad reflection, a fear lest the Europeans should buy up the Bengal rice, and send it to some distant country, as they had done in several by past years. Therefore the most constant wish of the British Indian subjects is, that while the wise and merciful Governor (who has done every thing for their good) remains here, he would prevent the exportation of an immoderate quantity of rice from this country, by which he would conduce very much to the comfort and happiness of his subjects. " Medical Advice.—The people of this country have been relieved from a variety of distresses since it has been in the possession of the English nation ; but one of a greater weight than all those troubles still remains to be - removed ; and if the following be kindly inserted in your papers, we doubt not but it will be attended with beneficial effects, as soon as it reaches the ears of the wise and gracious rulers of this land. The people of this country have a great many causes for being sickly, and among those the principal one is, that they eat whatever and whenever they like. Af ter all this, it is very surprising that they do not oftener get sick, and when so, that they are cur ed ; since they have neither any proper medicines, nor any skilful physicians. Therefore it is sin cerely wished that some requisite measures be adopted for the redress of this evil. Seeing the proper medical treatment and the skill of the Eu ropean physicians, we could wish that our pa tients were treated by them, that they might be sooner and better restored to health. These doc tors attend to rich families, but the poor cannot Or e 'afford to send for them ; and if any clip% ti to do so, through a fear of losing his , l e - lat would, after being speedily recovered by t ". 1 1 011 per treatment of the doctor, fi nd himself It or i great pain to see his bill, and begin t° c od death; since the ten rupees which he e arnetl...o month would not be sufficient even to malu his family and to pay the tax : how then co he give fi ve hundred rupees to the doctor, Ir his bill might amount to ? We can by 0 °, 9. a1 blame the physician ; for by attending tu c . for about a month, an d g i v ing proper Ineu l f to him, it has cost him a great deal. Th e re d as the poor wom en an d c hildren of the IlLeto cannot with propriety resort to the Nativ e ro o pital, we earnestly - beg that some requisi te ro of sures be adopted to relieve them from the great distresses which they now ex p e rience ' t‘ want of proper m e di ca l a d v ice and treattrePtio t " Want of Seminaries.—From the tim e f the this country has been in the possession ?
