THE LONDON JOURNALS. IATIIACTS FROM THE DULY MORNING PAPVIS, May 24, 18622. [MORNING HERALDI The worthy Editor of a Ministerial Morning votttnporary inserted as a leading article in his Paper of yesterday, a thing evidently manufac tured at the Treasury, to reconcile Parliament and the country to Mr. Vansittart's new scheme for spreading," as Lord Londonderry happily expressed it, " over a surface of forty-five years" that which belongs to a surface of twenty years. - We mean, and so does the Treasury writer, the Payment of the army, navy, &c. " Dead charge," as Mr. Vansittart generously terms it-. The Trea sury writer is wrong, when he asserts our having drawfi the following conclusion. —namely, " by adopting the measure, the Half-Pay List and, Pensions become fted, and withdrawn' from the controul of Parliament." We never asserted any thitig of the. sort ; we merely said, that if such - a cc. , t.ract had been entered into, and if hereafter Parliament should think proper to object to any particular pension, the Minister of the time Would probably use this argument—" What! would you have us to break faith with the Contractors, after the payment to them, and the payment to be tnade by them, of so much per annum as has been solemnly guaranteed by Parliament and the country E" As to our asserting any thing con trary to what is called the omnipotence of Parlia ment, we could not, for the power of Parliament m7lst constantly strike every one. :Witness the regular enactment of laws, and the sudden re peal of laws enacted. As we have before said, we hate contrivances for the paying of a just debt ; and we hate the principle of " spreading over a surface of 45 years" that which ought to be got rid of in 20 years. It was this miserable pian of procrastinating the payment of debts which caused the dreadful Revolution in France ; as long as the French Monarchy went on the oid-fashioned just principle of paying for wars as they were waged, by levying imposts on the people, and taking out of their pockets at once that which was necessary. to pay the war debt, France flourished even in a financial respect ; but during the reigns of Louis the 14th, 15th, and 16th, and especially during the Administration of tbe." Financiers" Colbert, Necker, &c., she put cll . , by means, of one paper scheme or other, the evil .day, till at last she could neither pay the Army, the Navy, or those employed in the dif ferent Government Offices ; then what was the consequence ? The French King, Louis the 16th, iqsfead of having as friends the Army, Navy, &c., which he was sure to have so long as they got what they were entitled to, found them be come lris enemies. [aii.e TIMES.] COnsiderable anxiety was excited yesterday among - those connected with the China trade, by the following paragraph, which reached this country through art American paper "-Extract of a Letter from Canton, dated Dec. 28 We hye-bad a sad fracas here between Captain Blackwood, of his I:Vitannic Majesty's frigate Topaze, and the native Chinese. It - -appears that Captain 'Blackwood had sent the frigate's boats on snore to water, when a dispute arose between the boats' crews and the Chinese inhabitants of the village of Lintin, near WA i'h they had landed. The natives attacked the sailors with and the men, it is said, were in imminent dan ge:-from the immense superiority and the violence evinced by tzar 'antagonists. Captain Blackwood observing the peril of hit.:ca nonn in the unequal combat, opened a fire upon the vil lage to cover their retreat to the boats, and it is said nine Chi. Reoe -were killed and four wounded, although no accurate or po sithe fa taunt has yet been obtained. Since this, the frigate and a large Thiglish country ship were lying off Lintin with tkelr boarding: netting up. Daily consultations have been held with aacTt-other by the chief men of the place and the officers a- Government, and every idea is entertained here that the trede between Great Britain and China will be suspended by ordcr of the Chinese Government."' • This statement would have created no sensation, had it stood alone and unconnected with other circumstances, because we are aware of the lettlousy with which the extent of our dealings in China is regarded in America, and the conse quent disposition to receive without examination, and to publish without scruple, any account that embroils us with the natives. But it unfortu nately happens, that the report in this case derives some countenance from the fact, that we have no arrivals from China of so late a date as that , of .the above paragraph, though, had no misun derstanding occurred between us and the Chinese, the ships of the season might have lieen. expected. The last accounts that have reached .this country from Canton come down only to the 7th of December, about three weeks anterior to this reported quarrel ; and had, no in trrruption of our usual amicable intercourse taken place, it is probable that we should have bad direct arrivals here earlier than by way of the United States. If any reliance can be placed on the truth of that part of the story which re lates to the rupture between the English sailors and the Chinese villagers, the subsequent attack on the natives, and the final determination of the Government to suspend trade till a satisfactory expiation be made to the offended dignity of the 4 f niversal Empire," may gain an easy belief. We must express our hopes, however, that there is noloundation for the American statement. . . :* This Letter appeared in our Paper yesterday ; but we re inatrt it as introductory to the remarks of The Times. ing a sum of money for the relief of the distressed Irish out of the funds of the house." We are rejoiced to add, that the King not only pa tronizes the Ball to be given at the Opera house, but that his Majesty will still farther promote the laudable and heavenly object by graciously giving his personal attendance on the occasion. [Nr.w TIDIES.] In our Paper of Monday, we called public at tention to Mr. W. Smith's Bill for the relief of Dissenters, in respect to the Solemnization of Marriage ; a Bill involving considerations of high importance to the interests both of Church and State. It appeared to us e that the mode of re lief proposed by the Hon. Gentleman was ex tremely objectionable, not only as wounding the consciences of the Established Clergy, but as forming a precedent for an unconstitutional inter ference of the House of Commons with the Rites and Ceremonies of the Established Church. — At the same time, we were far from contesting, in the slightest degree, the right of Parliament to grant ease to scrupulous consciences from a burthen imposed by a preceding Statute : and as little did we pretend to deny that the Dissenters have just reason to complain of the provisions of the existing Marriage Act.—lt seemed to follow, therefore, that admitting the existence of the evil, but denying the fitness of the remedy, we were in some sort bound to suggest a mode of relief, Which, in our view of the case, appeared less.objeOtionable. But we must beg to guard ourselves against misapprehension. We know too well. the delicacy of touching established laws, to venture rashly on any suggestion of Reform. • [MORNING CHRONICLE.I We have received F rankfort Papers to the 11th instant. They contain the Speech of the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, recommending the continuance of martial law in the islands, at full length. He deeply regrets being under the necessity of taking this step. What then was the necessity for taking a'step which is so painful. to hiro?; A squadron of the Insurgent Greeks at present in the lonian seas made a landing in Santa Maura, and pillaged the property of the inhabitants ! This must seem an unanswerable argument to the Lord High Commissioner ; as we have it now for the second time. For our part we must again express our inability to comprehend why a population should be placed under martial law because strangers have invaded their terri-' tory and pillaged them. What can be said to an argument of this kind,which supposes those to whom it is addressed to be either incapable of reasoning or bound to forego it? In this-country when we are in dread of robbers, we procure arms instead of giving them up; and were a police officer, for instance, to tell a man whose house had been broken into, that he must deliver up his arms, it would very naturally be supposed either that the said officer was deranged, or that he wished to favour a second house-breaking.—lf the Speech on opening the Legislature, contain ing an equal close of absurdity, had not come to us in an unquestionable shape, we should have supposed the second an impudent forgery. But nothing now surprises us from that quarter. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, THURSDAY, MAY 23. HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF BEDFORD, V. THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. Mr. SHADWELL appeared in this case, and said that a con siderable time ago a motion was attempted to be made in this Court by his Grace the present Duke cf Bedford, for an in junction to restrain the defendants trom proceeding with certain buildings, but his Lordship being one of the trustees for the British Museum, refused originally to hear the motion, but ordered that it should go into the Court belovi ; and it now came on by way of an appeal from the decision of His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, and as it most materially affected many individuals, it was extremely necessary that the perfect right and law of the case should be made known, and therefore he hoped his Lordship would ap point an early day to let it be discussed. Mr. PULLER followed on the same side. His LORDSHIP said, if they would only take into the Museum a few of the very difficult cases that he had in hand at present, he would then be the sooner able to listen to them. He, however, requested to know the nature of the case. Mr. SHADWELL then replied, that Lady Rachael Vaughan, prior to her marriage with Lord W. Russell, was seized in fee of the land on which the British Museum stands, and other lands adjacent; before her marriage she made a conveyance, and vested the legal estate, and also Southampton House, in trustees upon trust for herself, and after her marriage, Lord Russell, herself, and the trustees, by a deed of 1675, conveyed the ground on which the Museum stands, &c. to Ralph Montague, he at same time giving a general conveyance to Lady Vaughan, her heirs and assigns, that he would not build on the ground to the northward of Southampton House, so as to injure the view from it. After that Lord Russell died, and the legal estate was reeonveyed to Lady Vaughan, which had not been conveyed to Ralph Montague; then that legal estate, with the adjacent lands of gardens, &c. became vested in the present Duke of Bedford. An annual rent of 51. has also been received by his Grace ; and in the agreement there is also mentioned 31. per day which was to be paid in case any buildings should be erected in contraven tion of the covenant, which is secured by a power of distress ; and inasmuch as Southampton House had been pulled down, and other houses built, his Grace was advised that he had a power in equity of restraining any buildings being erected on • the Museum grounds or gardens, contrary to the covenant; and, • when it was heard before His Honour, he was of opinion thathis Grace's title of preventing that should be tried in a Court of Law ; but his Grace having been since advised that he could only claim that right in a Court of Equity, was imhiced to ap peal against His Honour's decision. • His LORDSHIP appointed the '24th day of June (being a holiday) to hear it. [BRITISH PRESS.] Spanish Papers to the 10th instant have been received at our Office. It is stated in them that Cadiz, the principal port of Spain, is blockaded by a single insurgent privateer. The 44 National Consulate" has reiterated its complaint upon this disgraceful subject. to the Commander of the Marine Department, who answered that the com- Plaint had been transmitted to his Majesty, who alone is competent to afford relief. [MORNING POST.] We continue to receive from all parts of the country the most gratifying accounts of the pro gress of the huniane exertions of Englishmen for the relief of their suffering fellow-creatures in Ireland.

The Lout) CHIEF-JUSTICE sat at Nisi Prius, and dis posed of several common jury causes, possessing no interest but to the parties. OLD BAILEY, MAY 23. ABSENCE or PROSECUTORS.—On the sitting of the Court this morning, the prosecutors in twenty cases did not appear when called. Considerable delay in consequenc',e took place, and the RECORDER, after animadverting on the conduct of the persons who were bound to further the ends of justice, ob served he should notice the subject when the causes came be fore the Court: John Franklin was indicted for a burglary in the house of Thomas Gubbins, at Staines, on the 11th instant, and stealing some shoes. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing only. Mr. Law here entered the Court and said, he was retained for the prisoner, but in consequence of the case being taken out of its turn, he had not arrived in time, nor had the witnesses for the defence. The.REcortpr It regretted the circumstance, hut said the Witnesses should be examined on their arrival. On Wednesday night the house of Mr. Thomas Frey, Belgrave-place, Pimlico, was broken into, and robbed of apparel, plate, and other property to a large amount. FOR THE SUN. LETTER VIII. MR. EDITOR—In my sixth and seventh Letters exposed some of the misrepresentations of PASTORIrsiI ; and also a few of the corruptions and innovations which had been introduced into the Church in the darker ages by artful and am bitious Pontiffs, for secular purposes, from whence arose that Reformation which he has so grossly and audaciously maligned ; but his arrows fall pointless to the ground when directed against the shield of truth ; and every man endued with reason and common sense, even if he may not have read any commentaries on the prophesies, must perceive at once the extravagance, the weakness, and the malignity of his exposition and inferences.—The object of this letter shall be to shew, first, his omissions, which, whatever I may think of them, no doubt are justifiable ac cording to the casuistry of St. Thomas Aquinas, Fillincius, and Sanchos,—secondly, the actual and gross violation of truth of this " Vicar Apostolic." He has carefully kept from the ken of heretics the cruel and intolerant persecution of the \Val denses in the vallies of Savoy and Piedmont, who took their name from Peter Waldo, a merchant of Lyons, the founder of the sect,—first, under Pope Alexander 111., in the year 1179; then under his successor, Louis 111. ; and, with some inter missions, nearly to the close of the 17th cen tury,—for no other reason than that they would not implicitly submit their consciences to the guidance of the Bishop of Rome, but professed the faith first instituted by Jesus Christ, and preached by his disciples ;—and it is worthy of notice, that this persecution, on account of re jecting the tenets of Popery, and now recently foisted into the Church, commenced nearly three hundred years before " Luther opened the door of hell to let out the spirit of seduction." With equal care has he concealed the barba rous persecution of the Albigenses, in the ponti ficate of Innocent 111., in the year 1215, more than two hundred years before the Reformation, by torture, fire, and sword ; of whom more than two hundred thousand were butchered in a few months by the Pope's holy Crusaders, bearing the emblems of the cross, and headed by the Archbishop of Sens, the Bishops of Nevers, Cleremont, and Auxerre ;—and not less than a million of this inoffensive people perished, for preferring the word of God, contained in the Bible, as their rule of faith, to the tradition of monks. He has not told us of the murders of seventy thousand of the Paulini, under the same Pontiff, for refusing to believe all the then newly-invented articles of faith introduced into the Latin Church. Neither has he mentioned the persecution of the Bohemians, in the 14th and 15th Centuries, in the Pontificates of Urban VI, Martin V, and Pius 11, merely because they were heretics. Although he has given us some useful infor mation,. because new, about some holy Martyrs of the Society of Jesus, who, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth and James I. were tried, con victed, and executed, for conspiring against the lives of those Sovereigns, in compliance with the Bulls of Pius V., Gregory XIII., Sextus V., and Clement VIII.'; yet he has been totally silent as to the persecutions and murders in England, during the short but bloody reign of that furious bigot Queen Mary, in violation of her solemn declaration in Council on her accession—" that she would not lay any restraint whatsoever on re ligious liberty :" but I had forgotten that as that promise had been made to heretics, it was no longer binding than was necessary to, establish her upon the throne ; and, as soon as that was accomplished, she had that sanguinary law re enacted—" de Heretic° comburendo," first intro duced in the reign of Henry I V., who having obtained his Crown by treason and murder, found it necessary to conciliate the Clergy, for the purpose of establishing himself upon the Throne ; and he submitted implicitly to their guidance. The consequence was, the fury of the Church was soon levelled against the followers of Wickliffe, and many were committed to the flames; among these the Rev. Wm. Santre, and Viscount Cobham : for the people of England were so galled by the rapa city and exactions of the Bishop of Rome, some of which I enumerated in my sixth letter, and so disgusted with the corruptions and innovations in the Church, which I also mentioned in my seventh, that they gladly listened to his doc trines ; among which were, " that there was no merit in doing pilgrimage at the tomb of Thomas A'Becket, or of St. Mary of Walsingham, nor in adoring the crucifix, or the images of any Saints, and that it was sufficient to confess to God instead of Priests." Pastorini has also carefully veiled from unhal lowed eyes the cruel and bloody mysteries of the " holy inquisition," instituted in the pontificate of Gregory IX., under the superintendance of the Dominican Friars, who plundered, tortured, and murdered the unhappy victims of supersti tious fanatacism, without remorse or without measure. Your Readers will find in the Eitel,- clopcedia Britannica, under the head " Act of Faith," a horrid though interesting account of this infernal Court, in which will be seen the part taken by Jesuits in the tragedy. They may also learn from Mr. Switiburrie's (a Roman Catholic) 'four through Spain, published in the year 1787, that in Granada, " so late as the " year 1726, the Inquisition, with the sanction " of Government, seized upon 360 families, " accused of Mahornetanism, and confiscated all " their property, to the amount of twelve mil " lions of crowns, of which no account was ever " given ; and they were dispersed in different " parts of Spain."—(Vol. 1. p. 262.) He has, indeed, admitted that there had been a massacre of Protestants in France on St. Bar tholomew's day, in the year 1572; and in Ire land, in the year 1641 : but, that the reader may judge of the Jesuitical casuistry with which lie attempts to palliate those two dreadful events, and the audacity with which he advances such palpable falsehoods. I shall here give the ac count in his own words :—" Many were the in " surrections and rebellions of the Calvinists in " France in the subsequent reigns, which created " infinite perplexity, and produced inexpressible " calamities in that kingdom. It is sufficient, inl " this place, to have shewn their origin from the " principles of the Reformation, and their first 44 progress. And what has been said is more " than acknowledged by Protestants themselves 64 of other sects."—" When people proceed upon " such schemes of violence, can they wonder that 44 Princes, or their officers, in their wrath, some " times retaliate upon them ? Violence necessarily 44 gives provocation, which in its turn exerts " itself, though perhaps by unjustifiable methods. 66 When Sovereigns perceive their lives to be in " danger from conspiracies, when they see their " States ransacked, and thrown into confusion by " the arms of rebellious subjects, can we be sur " prised if these Sovereigns, without consulting religion, sometimes repel the evil by rough and 44 cruel means ? Such wQ.s the so much talked of " massacre of the Huguenots at Paris and other 44 places in France, in 1572, on St. Bartholomew's 44 day, in the reign of Charles IX." " The mas " sacre also of the Protestants in Ireland, in 1641, 44 has been often objected against the Catholic " Church. When people are driven to despair " by excessive hardship and oppression, and even 66 threatened with utter extirpation, what wonder "if an insurrection follows ? Such was the case " with the Irish Catholics. The insurgents were " not even the body of Catholics, they were no " more than an exasperated rabble in the Pro " vince of Ulster, who acted against the incli " nations of the community, and in opposition to " the exhortations of their Clergy ; and indeed " all such violences are condemned by the Catholic " doctrine. It is also clear, from authentic re " cords and testimonies, that this massacre has " been exceedingly exaggerated, and that not one " hundredth part of the number were murdered " that were reported."—Pages 223 and 224. It would exceed the limits of a letter to enter into a detail of all the persecutions the Protestants in France endured, from an early period after the Reformation, in the reigns of Francis 1., Henry 11., and Francis 11. ; also under Catherine of Medicis, during the mino rity of Charles IX., and in his reign : suffice it to say, that what Pastorini ips alleged in excuse for the Papists in Ireland, in the year 1641, might with justice be applied to the long-suffer ing French Protestants, in 1572, had they then risen in rebellion. A peace, however, had been concluded at St. Germains, in August 1570, upon terms advantageous to the Protestants, which lulled the greater number into a fatal security ; though some, from those very favourable terms, feared they had been granted but to deceive, and fled from Paris before the dreadful day.— It is an incontrovertible fact, that this massacre had for two years been in the contemplation of Catherine of Medicis (mother of the King), Charles IX., not then twenty years old, and the Guise family, aided by the Cardinals of Biragne and Hetz ; and that the object was to exter minate all the Protestants in France ; of whom between 50 and 60 thousand were murdered on the eve of and on St. Bartholemew's day at Paris, and in the different provinces, by orders from the Court. Many persons were decoyed to Paris under different pretences : among these, the Queen of Navarre, on a proposal of marriage between her son, the young King of Navarre, afterwards Henry IV., and the sister to the reigning King; and it was supposed that she died by poison : the young King of Navarre and the Prince of Conde were also drawn thithei ; and the King told them that, if they did not em brace the Roman Catholic faith, they would not be alive in three days. The fate, how ever, of Coligni, Admiral of France, and the chief of the Protestant Party, was even more re markable, having been invited to Paris by the King himself, under a promise of appointing him General of his army, in a war against Philip IV. in the Low Countries : but, on the Eve of St. Bartholomew, he was wounded by a shot from a window, by a hired assassin ; and to shew that Charles's treachery equalled his cruelty, it is only necessary to add, that he visited the Admiral a few hours after, when he expressed concern for his misfortune, and vowed vengeance against the assassin : yet, on the following night, when the dreadful signal of death sounded from the hall of the King's Palace, the Duke of Guise, the Duke D'Aumale, and a chosen party, forced the gates of Coligni's Hotel, and murdered him and his domestics. His body was thrown into the streets, insulted by the blood thirsty popu lace, and hanged upon a gibbet ; and Father Daniel, the French historian, informs us that Charles went to feast his eyes with the horrid spectacle, saying, " that the body of an enemy always smelt well." If there could be a doubt, that that dreadful massacre had been premeditated, and was the effect of blind infuriated bigotry, the conduct of Pope Gregory XIII. must covince every mind not enchained by superstition ; for, on the ac count reaching Rome, he convened a Consistory in St. Mark's Church, when he expressed great joy for so signal an advantage obtained for the " Holy See ;" and, after praising the actors in the bloody tragedy, he ordered the Conclave of Cardinals to return thanks to Almighty God, and to proclaim a jubilee all over Christendom. Even Father Daniel admits, 66 that at Rome they praised the King for his zeal, and the dreadful punishment he inflicted on the heretics :" in deed, so great was his zeal, that he himself fired from the windows of his palace upon the unhappy sufferers, who were fleeing for their lives. Were there no other grounds for thinking that it arose from bigotry, the conduct of the Parliament of Paris would furnish sufficient proof to every in genuous mind ; for, after praising the King for the active part he had taken, they held a mock trial of the murdered Coligni, whom - they hang ed in effigy; and ordered an annual procession, on St. Bartholomew's Day, to give thanks to GOD for the extirpation of the Heretics. I have already encroached too much upon your valuable Paper, and shall postpone, until my next Letter, my remarks upon Pastorini's gross false hoods as to the Rebellion and Massacre in Ire land in 1641—not only for that reason, but that I wish to bring at one view before your Readers the authorities I shall cite, in order to shew that no degree of confidence can be placed in any of the assertions of a man who could so far deviate from the truth, from a spirit of bigotry, and with the intention of deceiving and inflaming the minds of the ignorant,.

IRELAND. KILKENNY, MAY 21.—About the hour of ten in the morning, a party of one serjeant and ten men, under the direction of Lieutenant Wray, Chief Constable, proceeded to the fair of Bawe r for the purpose of preventing riot or disorder, and remained there until half-past four. Up to that hour, all was perfectly quiet.—The party then returned to Erk, to dinner, a distance of three quarters of a mile ; but previous to this, Lieutenant Wray took the precaution of warning each individual tent owner, to remove his property by half-past six o'clock, at which hour, he said, the party would return to dis perse the crowd,and clear the green. Instantly on the arrival of the party, they were violently attacked with stones and various weapons, and several of the police knocked down, evidently with the intent of disarming them, as, at one moment, the mob had possession of one stand , of arms, which the police with great difficulty re-took. Lieutenant Wray finding himself and his party surrounded by the mob, retired to a short distance, and took up a position of defence, in the execution of which movement he received seve ral severe blows of stones, which nearly unhorsed him. The party seeing the imminent danger of their officer (and having with great forbearance borne the previous repeated attacks of the mob; ohserving also the crowd press in upon them, shouting and huzzaing,) fired a few shots, not exceeding five or six in number, o ne of which (melancholy to relate) took effect, and killed a woman. The mob then took up their position behind a wall, from five to six feet highs where they had collected immense heaps of stones, and with which they kept up an inces sant attack on the Police, some of whom were again knocked down. Lieutenant Wray ad vanced his party, outflanked the rioters, and, without firing a shot more, dislodged and dis persed them. The party then (the green being cleared) returned to their quarters at Elke, a t about half-past eight in the evening—(Moderator .)
