, THE LONDON JOURNALS. ZAI,RACTS FROM THE I) ‘I T.Y MORNING PAPERS. December 19, 1822. [BRITISH PRESS.TJ The French Papers of Monday contain mate vials for reflection and animadversion—none for information. The Castor of our Pollux, L'Eloile, enumerates the forces of the Faitlr, by way of chewing that the great and all-interesting cause of absolute Royalty has yet a chance. It is very pleasant, and, to speak candidly, very poetical, to rely upon ideal resources. [THE TIMES.] The French papers received yesterday present no matter of importance ; neither, indeed, was any to be expected, after the late elucidation of the question of peace or war. We cannot take leave of, or rather suspend our attention to, this subject, without remarking on the very masterly manner in which it has been discussed in the Journal des D'ebats. It is not because that journal coincides with us in our view of the in:. justice and folly of hostile interference with Spain that we offer it our tribute of praise : we are familier enough in debate to distinguish be tween the justness of an opinion and the capacity with which it is defended. We do not say that the Journal des _Winds could have made the darker appear the fairer side to men of pene tration ; but its articles have certainly given truth its perfect triumph. The Etoile states with great exaggeration the force of the Army of the Faith now on foot. Were that force such as is represented, and had one of its Chiefs approached near to Madrid, what a poor creature Ferdinand must be 7 not to have joined, ere now, some of the corps—that is, supposing him (what the Army of the Faith supposes him) to be friendly to their cause ! The circumstance, were it true, that almost half Spain is in motion to support a particular system of opinions, and that the King of Spain remains with the other half, not having a collar and a chain on his neck, should, to common sense, be esteemed a most sa:lsfactory proof that he is attached to that party with which he remains. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] _ Private advices from Paris, received in the course of yesterday, by express, mention, that the chief business for which the Representatives of the Allied Sovereigns had adjourned to the French capital, was closed, and that the Duke of Wellington might be expected home itnmedi• -ately. We are fully warranted, and moreover, we rejoice that we have it in our power to state, that his Grace has been indefatigable in his ex ertions to repair the errors he committed in Ve rona and his endeavours have been crowned with success. Sir Charles Stewart has been entrusted with the: chief negOciatimis with .t.he French and other Ministers, whilst the Duke has been more particularly engaged near the. King, on a plan of perfect co-operation between both.— .All the influence of which the Duke has been able to avail himself, has been wielded on the present occasion, more particularly at the 'null leries, and there are past recellections and for mer obligations which have been called into play, and used in support of the pretensions of the British Cabinet. If at the time we felt dis mayed at the result of the Verona Congress,.and; in common with our countrymen, deplored con sequences which could not fail to involve us, and tarnish our national honour, in the same degree do we now feel elated at the change that has taken place, which bids fair to render the Paris negociations the most Successful of_the kind it which we have yet been enga:;ed in the course o the present eventfulcentury. [MORNING POST.] New York and Philadelphia Papers came to hand yesterday to the 21st ult. The fever at Pensacola was still raging, and had communicated to the troops in the town, several of whom had fallen victims to its influence. At Philadelphia, Papers from Madras had been received, dated as late as the 25th of July. They contained some particulars of the dreadful storm at Calcutta on the 7th of the preceding month, which had done immense damage. The prin cipal part of the Indigo crop is stated to have been destroyed by the heavy rains whi c h succeeded the hurricanes, and continued for four days with but little intermission. The storm it self lasted forty-five hours, and swept houses and every thing before it. At Jassore it is represented to have raged with dreadful vio lence, and destroyed the rice both in store and on the ground, leaving for such of the inhabi tants as had escaped the desolation not more than ten days' consumption in the whole pro vince. The prisoners in the jail were liberated to prevent their being starved ; and it was sup posed the rise in Indigo would be very great, and ♦could take place immediately.—A curious cir cumstance is related, of several Rtissian Officers having been discovered in disguise, making ob servations in the neighbourhood of Delhi, which had given rise to many reports among the English residents there. [MORNING HERALD.] We were hardly prepared to find some of the French Journals asserting that the Government of this country is, strenuously, but secretly, urging that of France into war with Spain ! The reader may have some curiosity to know from these profound publicists, what are the views of our Cabinet in playing this deep game, so con trary to its ostensible policy. Here they are.— ‘C From the moment," says the Courier Francais, 44 that a war breaks out on the Continent, between liberty and absolute power, England becomes, by the force of things, the arbitress of Europe. The moment peace is disturbed she will acquire the despotism of the seas, and a monopoly of the commerce of the two worlds. Whilst concord existed between the Powers of the Continent, what was England ? What part did she act in the different Congresses ? Did she not appear out of the sphere of the Holy Alliance ?" Though the policy thus .imputed to , the British Government is as unfounded as it is illiberal, yet in the latter part there appears to us some truth. The tendency, and even the great object of a union between the Powers of the Continent, would be, and has been, whatever professions they may make, to ex clude, or put down the continental ascendancy of England. The following is another view upon which the same Journalist proves how England is interested in the war :—" Go," says he, " to our (the French) sea-ports; you will find that all our ship-owners effect their insurances in England. The rate is 35 per cent. and the amount is estimated already at a hundred mil lions (of francs)." ENEW TIMES.I It was loudly objected against the Constitu tional Association, that they would prosecute harmless works, or at worst, personal libels on Ministers. It ought not to be overlooked, that though they have now been two years in active existence, they have never prosecuted a single line against Ministers, nor a single publication levelled against the particular doc trines of any religious sect ; but all the works that the have selected for prosecution have been gross and outrageous attacks on the Sovereign, on the Civil Constitution of the State, or on those fundamental principles of religion' which form a part of the Constitution, and are essential to the very existence of Society ; and —we repeat the fact, as most memorable in itself, and most honourable to the Association—not one individual whom they have yet brought to trial has been found Not Guilty. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [From The Bury Gazette, Dec. 18, 1822.] The loud yell of war which only a few days since spread dismay through half Europe, has already dwindled down to a timid whisper ; the dreadful certainty has shrunk into a doubtful possibility; and the act of Congress which was to " uproar the universal peace," resolves itself into a wise precautionary measure to guard the world from a too wide dif fusion of the blessings of mob and military despotism. Were France sanctioned and supported by her allies, we think it very improbable that she would willingly rush headlong Into a war with Spain ; but as she is merely permitted to use her discre tion by some of her late conquerors, and that permission with ' held by one, to her the most important of the whole; under such circumstances, to engage in any hostilities beyond those which are absolutely necessary for self-defence, would be nothing less than national suicide. The policy of France must be peace. Ex hausted by protracted and extensive warfare, ennervated by exertions unparalleled in the history of nations, years of inter• nal and external quiet are needed for her re-invigoration ; are due to the states around her, all of whom are suffering under the consequences of her mad career of mischief. Yet, should she, insensible to every consideration of prudence and justice, attempt to rekindle the brands of national discord, she may perhaps be taught that England, which in her days of might, the could never conquer, which the imperial bandit who wield ed her power could not subdue, will not suffer her in her weakness - to disturb the repose of the world " for very wantonness," nor look on inactively while she renews her bloody pranks at the expence of suffering humanity, to soothe her wounded pride. We may perhaps be told that democracy and revolution were the exciting causes of the former war, but that now the Royalists are the persons who stir the strife. Be it so—what then ? We love our King ar dently—love him because he is the free King of a free People— because our interests are his and his ours—but we are utter strangers to-a love of royalty which induces a violation of the rights of our fellow creatures. The devotees of the old court of Versailles may be as cruel as the enthusiasts of the Conven tion, but they cannot be so dangerous. We may fear the fierceness of a young tiger. We laugh at the fury of an old monkey. Whilst the Counsels of France are divided on the question of war or peace, _whilst Princes and Potentates are disposing of the destinies of nations, Spain, the unhappy sub ject of debate, is suffering all the horrors of war without any of its palliating triumphs; all the miseries of civil strife where conquest is defeat, and where the shout of the victor is choaked by tile sigh of the mourner. In the long catalogue of human ills, in all the hideous list of national calamities, none can compare to that one mighty overwhelming mischief, domestic warfare : the bloody struggle of father against son and brother against brother. Plague, pestilence, or famitie, may be endured. Nation may war against nation, and the soldier may fall in glory.— But in the war which stains our native soil with native blood, no honour is gained by victory, no song of exultation hails the conqueror.: one voice is heard throughout the land, the voice of lamentation and woe. May Heaven avert such a visitation of its displeasure from this happy nation ! What an awfu warning did the consequences of the French revolution hold ote to the revolutionists in this country, and how seasonably does a similar example occur at this moment. It is not impossible that the present dreadful state of Spain may be productive of some good in shewing the unthinking zealots, who call them. „ , ...-...- selves reformers, _and imagine the framing a code of laws and remodelling a state, a work of easy achievement and certain ef- ficacy; that there is some difficulty as well as danger in tam, pering even with the most defective forms of/government: that the Constitution of England, like her native oak, is of slow growth, but noble and lasting in maturity ;, and if uprooted may destroy many in its fall : While the poor sapling widch may usurp its place perhapi will merely serve .to hang its planter. • PERTH.—On Wednesday night an Excise-offi cer, accompanied by three of the Scots Greys, fell in with a band of smugglers, near Glenquoich, when a seycre scuffle en. sued. The smugglers were armed with muskets, and com menced liting.on the Excise officer and his party as soon as they came within reach.. A great number of shots were ex changed by bold parties ; and we hear the officer received a ball in his mouth, which broke two of his teeth. One of the dragoons was also very much bruised, his horse having come down and rolled over him. DEATH BY PUGILISM.—An unlucky rencontre took place on Tuesday, at a public-house at Beeston, on the Watford-road, between Benjamin Arnold and Wm. Andrews, the former a wag goner and the latter a sawyer. They retired, and agreed to fight for 5/. a side. A severe battle of 17 minutes took place, and some awkward round blows were exchanged. At the end of the 12th round Andrews fell, and was unable to rise again, and' when lifted up by his seconds he was lifeless. The battle took place in a meadow be tween the two roads, and he died in a few minutes. The accident was, occasioned by the rupture of a small vessel in the head: DREADFUL EARTHQUAKES IN SYRIA, OFFICIAL PARTICULARS OF THESE MOST DREADFUL EVENTS. " Near the Ruins of Antioch, Sept. 13, 1822. " It has fallen to my lot to relate the parti culars of an event that has thrown most of the families of this part of Syria into sorrow and mourning, and all into the greatest difficulties and distress. 46 On the 13th August, at half-past nine in the evening, Aleppo, Antioch, Idlip, Riha, Gissor S hogr, Darwash, Armenes, every village and every detached, cottage in this pachalic, and some towns in the adjoining ones, were, in ten or twelve seconds, entirely ruined by an earthquake, and are become heaps of stones and rubbish, in which, at the lowest computation, 20,000 human beings, about a tenth part of the population, were destroyed, and an equal number maimed or wounded. The extreme points, where this ter rible phenomenon was violent enough to destroy the edifices, seem to, be Diabekir and Markab (twelve leagues south of Latachin), Aleppo and Scanderoon, Killis and Khan Shehoon. All within these points have suffered so nearly equally, ex cept Orfa and Latachin, which had not suffered much, that it is impossible to fix a central point. he shock was sensibly felt at Damascus, Adina, and Cyprus. To the East' of Diabekir and North of Killis I am not well informed how far the effect extended in these radii of the circle.— The shock was felt so violently at sea, within two leagues of Cyprus, that it was thought the ship had grounded. Flashes of fire were per ceived at various times throughout the night, re sembling the light of the full moon ; but at no place, to my knowledge, has it left a chasm to any extent, although in the low grounds slight crevices are every where to be seen, and out of many of them water issued, but soon subsided. There was nothing remarkable in the weather or state of the atmosphere. Edifices on the sum mits of the highest mountains were not safer than those on the banks of the rivers, or on the beach of the sea. It is impossible to convey an ade quate idea of the scenes of horror that were simultaneously passing on the dreadful night of the 13th of August. The awful darkness, the continuance of the most violent shocks at short intervals, the crash of falling walls, the shrieks, the groans, the accents of agony and despair of that long night, cannot be described. —When at length the morning dawned, and the return of light permitted the people to quit the spot on which they had been providentially saved, a most affecting soene ensued.—You might have seen many unaccustomed to pray, some prostrate, some on their knees adoring their Maker—others running into each other's arms, rejoicing in their existence. An air of cheerfulness and brotherly love animated every countenance.----In a public' calamity in which the Turk, the Jew, the Chris tian, the Idolater were indiscriminate victims, or objects of the care of an impartial Providence, every one forgot, for a time, his religious animo sities—and what was a still more universal feel ing in that joyful moment, every one looked upon the heaviest losses with the greatest indifference. But as the sun's rays increased they .were gradually reminded of the wants of shelter and of food, and became at length alive to the full extent of the dreary prospect before them, for a greater mass of human misery has not been often produced by any of the' awful convulsions of nature.—A month has now elapsed, and the shocks continue to be felt, and to strike terror into every breast night and day. The fear that they may not cease before the rainy season commences, has induced those whose business cannot allow of theirquitting the ruins of their town, instead'of rebuilding their houses, to construct temporary hovels of wood without the wails ; and many families who thought themselves before this calamity straitly lodged in a dozen of apartments, now exult in the prospect of passing the winter in a single room twenty feet square. The spacious mansion,lhat has been the residence of the British Consul at Aleppo for 230 years, is completely ruined. The houses of all the other public agents and private European inhabitants at Aleppo have been en tirely ruined. At Aleppo the Jews suffered most, on account of their quartenbeing badly built, with narrow lanes. Of a population of less than 3,000 souls, 600 were lost. Of the Europeans only one person of note, Signor Estra di Picciotto, the Austrian Consul-General, and ten or twelve women and children, pe rished. But the greater part are now suffering from ophthalmia and dysentery, occasjoned by exposure to the excessive heats by day, and to the cold dews of night.—When it is considered that two-thirds of the families in Aleppo have neither the means of making a long journey, to remove to a town out of the effect of the earth quake, nor of building a slied to keep off the rain, it Is impossible to conceive all the misery to Wick they are doomed the ensuing winter, or even to find more deserving objects of the com passion and charity of the opulent, whom it has pleased God to place in happier regions of the Globe.—Here planks and fuel are cheap, and the people have the resource of tiles, which they were taught to make by the crusaders, during their long residence at Antioch ; but at Aleppo, where wood is very dear, they had no contrivance to keep out rain, but freestone walls and flat roofs, made of a very expensive cement." " September 20, 1822.-1 am sorry to say that shocks of the earthquake continue to be felt to this day, the 38th after the principal shock, and no change has taken place in the state of deso lation .that that dreadful catastrophe has pro duced.' " October 18, 1822.—Until the 9th instant, slight shocks of earthquakes continued to be felt, since that day they have entirely ceased ; but confidence in a continuance of safety from that dreadful calamity is not restored, and although the rains and cold weather render our temporary sheds very inconvenient habitations, nobody is yet inclined to sleep under a coot' supported by walls." FOR THE SUN. THE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH'S EXAMINA TION QUESTIONS. ( Continued from yesterday's Su No But even if it can be supposed that it was not merely intended to restrain the Puritans from cu rious research, but also all the ministers of whatever side, at a time when there were so many " alter cations that nourished factions both in the Church and State," yet now that these leading doctrines have been so long the subject matter of our ptil pits, and have been handled with so much skill and good sense, and moderation by so many among us, without the least spirit of faction, or an allusion to the State ; this part of the declaration may be considered to all such temperate preachers ; as a dead letter. The spirit is only still alive to such as go about as in former days when it first issued, to reduce the curious and carnate; against such, however " small may be their proportion to the sounder part of the church, who are known to preach doctrines subversive of the Church it self, and actually calculated to lead men astray from the way of life." Some of them may be enthusiasts, some hypocrites, and others an un happy mixture of both : a very few may preach immorality from design, but the greater part from ignorance, not only on their own part, but on the part of those who follow them with such blind admiration. The common people to whom they generally hold forth, must necessarily take their sermons in the literal sense, while they perhaps are meaning only to speak in figure ; and hence may learn heresy; and while the preachers think they are teaching the Bible ; their followers imbibe the most copious draughts of vice and immorality at the fountain which they would open to them of Truth and Faith. But even if this declaration is not a dead letter to the temperate preachers of the present day. It surely never can be supposed to restrain the Bishops or those placed on high, and commanded to examine candidates for orders, and from ques tions which are by necessity included in the very idea of examination. If he is restrained from these, he is hindered from doing what by the same power he is commanded to do : upon this point the. Bishop insisted with his usual energy and strength of argument before the House of Peers; and the highest authority of that House declared in answer to an Evangelical Earl, who was indul ging in the same invective against these ques tions, with the Council, as " doubtful in point of law, and clearly wrong in point of policy,"---that it was wholly incomprehensible to him how a Bishop could proceed without some such examina tion. If then there is a necessity for examination, and there is no mode prescribed by, the canons to require curates to be examined by those whose duty it is—but it is left entirely to their discre tion ; they surely are at liberty to put any ques tions, in,whatever form seems most expedient to the great purpose of " avoiding diversity of opinion." Nor can it at all signify whether the questions are viva voce, or in writing, or in print, only so far as the latter may be more fa vourable to the feelings of the modest, or the fa culties of the slow, who may become by perse verance good and active servants, the more shin ing ammeters of the Church. Such worthy and most serviceable Ministers of our Establishment, so far from blaming, have to thank this Prelate for the judicious plan which he has adopted, of preparing them with the questions to which they are bound to' answer ; as they may thus enjoy , the advantage of previous reflection, and not la bour under those obstacles to modest merit, wliich all who have been called . upon suddenly and viva voce, to give their immediate answers, must well remember, if they have the least trace left either of modesty or of merit. If the Bi shop is appointed to examine, by what means can he perform his duty but by questions ? or how can the " candidate," as he strongly urges, " yield an account of his faith according to the articles," as the 34th canon requires, but by an examination in them ; or how can he answer, as the Statute still stronger commands, if he is" not previously questioned? When it was alleged that the title of the articles itself proves that it is the articles, and not a Prelate's interpretation of them, that constitute the only authorised pro vision against all diversity of opinion ; the pre late's answer was by the articles themselves, as opposed to the interpretation of them can be meant nothing more than the bare letter of the articles. But the bare letter, without reference to the sense of the articles, expresses no opinion whatever, and therefore can never operate ac cording to the title, as a check on diversity of opinion.". But not only does this title shew that the object cannot be attained by the bare letter without interpretation, but it is a bar likewise to that latitude of interpretation for which many contend, and among the rest this Council of Ten, who seem to think it was " the essence and spirit of the compilers, both in the articles anti in this declaration, to merge certain differences of opi nion—in some superior and comprehensive bond of union ; and to Form a peaceable coalition of the disciples of Calvin with those of Arminius," delighted at the thought of seeing men of such opposite tempers and opinions, go cheek by jowl together, and from such a concordia discors— peace and harmony to flow. " But if the articles may be taken in any other than their literal meaning, diversity of opinion will not be pre vented, but promoted." The church ? r t?erefore, says Heylin, bound m en down to the plain literal grammatical sense, because they could not other wise attain the end which they profess of " avoid ing diversity of opinion, and establishing consent touching true religion," if men were left the liberty of dissenting or putting their own sense on the articles as they list themselves. For where there is a purpose of permitting men to their own opinions, there is no need of determinations in ,a National Church, no more than of making laws to bind subjects in an unset tled commonwealth, with the intent to leave them in their former liberty either of keeping or not keeping them as themselves best please." The members of the Church are no more left at ran- dom than the subjects of the Government to tl and act without any restraint, as if they 111 still in a state of nature, but are under the stn est obligations to con f orm i n t h e sense o f Ii Church to her articles, and have no legitU right to infer a sense of their own, or to 1 1 ° her creed bend to their pre-conceived opni d " The Church is not so little of a dove of much of a serpent as to make the articles lik e upright shoe, t o b e worn on e i t h er foot, or like' shoe of Theramenes, fit for the foot of every who was pleased to wear it." To be shod the preparation of the Gospel of peace, it must ut calcuus aim, neither so tight-drawn as tog, the wearer— nor so l ax as to make him stufel in the plainest ground. He must take the al ticks not only in the letter but in the spiri t not in the 44 literal sense" alone, but in 4c t plain and full meaning." ( To be continued. ) CANONICI. ,IS ' INCE.-(CILESIHRE.) In all the list of occurrences we have record in relation to the late storm, we know of n° more worthy of recital than one which took .pl 3 in the house of the Rev. Mr. PEEL, of the ahe place, a near rel a ti ve o f t h e S ecretary for tb Home Department. While the storm was me in its utmost violence at about half-past ten, stack of chimnies fell upon the roof, whichto , into the garret with a tremendous crash ; fore that floor into the room below, and, finally, 10 in the latter,—the whole mass of bricks, tile' mortar, and two floorings, being precipitated in the kitchen ! At this time, Miss Peel, a child Mr. Peel's, and the nurse, were all in the kitcbe and what is truly surprising, not one of them ' the least injured. It seems the mass of ruins 01 ' scended towards the outward side of the hose' where the spars and boarding of the second floe shaken from their fastnesses in the wall, gave W9l and fell in a b o dy, w hil e t h e opposite extrern it l of the boarding, though entirely loosened ° l i broken off from the inner wall, remained restin against it, the floor now presenting an oblige position,somewhat resembling the ridge of a hous e Providentially the individuals named were sit e ting in that part of the kitchen over which the flooring stuck, and were thus preserved frog:, being buried i n th e ru i ns. — At the time of this extraordinary preservation, one not much less sil l/ gular occurred in another part of the house. Ti e of Mr. Peel's child ren were i n bed at the time°: the crash, in a room adjoining the chamber whiC° had fallen in, when a quantity of bricks and slate o proceeding from the inner wall of the upPe f room, were precipitated upon the curtain c over' ing the top of a camp-bed, in which the childree lay. The weight of the rubbish was at least sixty pounds, which, though it did not buil t through the curtain, forced it downwards 0 , within half a y ar d o f t h e c hi ldren, and forme d the appearance of a bag, hanging immediate)/ over them. Of course, immediately after the accident took place below, these innocents be' came objects of solicitude, and on the servant' reaching their room, they were found asleep, tor hurt !An out-door servant man happening to b° on the premises when the floors fell, alarmed the neighbours, several of whom ran to the house , when Miss Peel, four children, and all the sec' cants, hastened from the scene of desolation, ana took refuge for the night in the house of a neigh; bouring farmer, Mr. Warburton.—Mr, Peel 110 his lady, we understand, happened to be on ° visit at Oxford when the accident occurred ; but what their emotions would be, when the/ heard of the imminense of the danger, and the entire safety of their numerous family, is a poine which will admit of no description.—(Chester Courant, Dec. 17.) CoAcit-RACING..Sunday night a dreadful accident, which is likely to prove fatal to a re' spectable.individ ua l, occurre d i n the Mile-Ea° Road, near the Little Driver public house, origy nating from the above too frequent and dangerous practice. It seems that two of the Stratford or position coaches were driving at a furious rate, out of town. Th e y crosse d each other several, times on the road. A light chaise, in which were Mrs. Mayo, of 29, Jane-street Commercial Road , two children, five more women, and a man, her pened to be coming up to town at the time, whets the chaise was run down by one of the stages, and shivered to pieces. All the persons in it, forte' nately, escaped with tripng injury except Will' Mayo, who was so dreadfully hurt that little hopes are entertained of her recovery. A few days ago a gentleman called upon NIP ROBERTSON, one of the Treasurers of the Canon° gate Charity 'Workhouse, and presented him with 101. for the use of the establishment, saying It was from a friend of his, who, when a poor bat, had been brought up and educated in the house, and as he had been successful in the world, he presented this sum as a mark of gratitude and re' spect to the establishment.—( The Scotsman.)
