THE LONDON JOURNALS. ZXTRACTS FROM TIIE D %MY MORNING PAPERS, July 23, 1822. [THE TINIES.3 It will be seen by our Parliamentary report, that an abuse which has prevailed ter a sharrieful extent in- Ireland, and which, like some other peculiarities of Irish administration, "has been lately imported into this country, was last night noticed and exposed in the House of Commons. The abuse to which we allude is that of sending Government advertisements for insertion in,papers of very limited circulation, and excluding them from others, which,• being more generally read, are capable of spreading More widely the infor mation required to be communicated ; thus con verting the public money into a source of corrupt patronage, instead of employing it to promote the public interest. "If Ministers, however, are thus prodigal of the national purse, they have at least this plea, that they disinterestedly lavish it upon those who are least - capable of promoting their views, of defending. their measures, or ex tending their popularity. To prove' this, we need do 110 mote than refer to some of the papers mentioned in the report as the chief objects of their bounty. The folloWing scene occurred last night in the gallery of the House of Commons, towards the conclusion of the debate :—Mr.R.lVlartin came, and having inquired for our reporter, 'addressed him, as nearly as he can recollect, in the follow ing words :—" I come, Sir, to request that you will never in future, upon any occasion, attribute a single syllable to me in your paper. I know that, when you choose, you are able to do full justice to any Member that may speak ; but some how or other it happens that whenever I rise to address the House, you take the opportu nity of putting something foolish or ridiculous into my mouth. Now I promise you, upon my word, that if I ever find myself in Print again in your paper, I will complain of it to the House, and bring to the bar all the parties concerned. I will therefore thank you not to report me in future, and to tell the others to do the same." — The reporter, after stating his belief that Mr. Martin had never been intentionally misrepre sented by any gentleman connected with the Times, assured him that as far as he (the reporter ad dressed) was concerned, Mr. R. Martin should never again appear in print. Mr. Martin smiled, and said—" I am glad to hear you say so. — If you say any more of me than that Mr. R. Martin spoke, or Mr. R. Martin voted, on such or such a side--for you may-say that, as I . am not ashamed of my party—l will brine , ' you be fore the House, depend upon it ; and I also put a stop to reporting altogether." The re porter for the Chronicle, who was seated near our reporter, interfered at' this moment, acid said, " I t is not in your power, Mr. Martin, nor in that of any other Member, to put a stop to report ing." Mr. It. Martin.—" I forbid you, also, Sir, reporting me." Reporter of the Chronicle.— ". As to that, Sir, I shall use my opn discretion, and shall not submit to any dictation froth you as to the manner in which 1 am to perform my duty." Mr. 11.. Martin seemed' surprised, tind asked the reporter of the Chronicle for his name. After he had got it, the Hon. Member waiked away without saying another word, and thus the conference ended.—(4id.) ENEW TIMES.] It was 'yesterday rumoured, but we believe without foundation, that an express had reached town with news from Madrid to the 14th instant. The Journal de Paris, of Saturday, which we have received, brings the Spanish news down to the 12th, and, though our political sentiments differ widely from those of that Paper, we have thought fit to make some extracts from the intel ligence which it contains. Added to which our private letters of Friday lasi, from Paris, deserve particular attention. Upon the whole, it ap pears that, up to the 12th instant, things re mained nearly in the same state at Madrid as for four days previously. The Journal de Paris, indeed, mentions some new appointments to the Ministry ; but of these (although by no means improbable) it may be prudent to sus pend our positive belief. The persons specified are. Gazely, Minister of Foreign Affairs ad ittterinr : Lopez Banos, Minister of War ; Cala trava, Minister of the Interior; and Santa Cruz, - Minister of the Royal Household. The Journal de- Paris disposes very biiefly of the Carbineers who were at Cordova, and whom it states to have been cut to pieces by a Militia Regiment near Montoro. It is seldom. that a raw levy of militia cuts to pieces a veteran regiment of regulars; and •we shall probably be excused for sayinz that we do not helieve a syllable of this story. It is very remarkable, that the movements of the Royal Guards subsequently to the 7th instant remain enveloped in entire obscu rity_i whence we may reasonably conclude that the Revolutionists have nothing to boast respect ing them. The opinion of our Paris Correspon dent is highly probable, that- the Chiefs of the Revolutionary Faction - begin to--be alarmed, and hesitate. Spain is not prepared fOr a Republic in the' manner that France was prior to the 10th of August, 1792; and we would fain hope that Riego and-his assassins ,possess somewhat less in fluence in Madrid than Marat and the Septem briseurs did in Paris. [MORNING POST.] Dispatches were yesterday received at the Office of the Marquis of Londonderry from Mr. Hervey, our Minister at the Court of Madrid, which were brought by Mr.Ward,who is attached to the Embassy in Spain. We understand they are of the utmost importance—a fact which must be sufficiently obvious, from the character and situation of the Gentleman entrusted with them. Mr. Ward was only seven days performing the journey, and immediately on his arrival had a long audience of Lord Londonderry,on the state of affairs in the Peninsula. The intelligence is to the 15th inst. at which time the Spanish capital was tranquil, though every thing still remained in the most awful suspense. Some partial charges had taken place in the Administration,' but they did not seem to be agreeable to the general wish. By the unofficial statements we are informed., that General Morillo \ had gained the entire confidence of the King, in conse quence of his having refused to accede to the earnest solicitations of the Spanish guards, to place himself at their heady and oppose himself to the existing Government. The arguments which were made use of by the officers were, that al though his Majesty might-apparently uphold the Constitutional system, he was, in fact, unfa vourable to it; and that, in the event of the ge neral body of the military declaring in favosr of the ancient order of things, his wisheg would be accomplished, and he would support the troops. Morillo, being convinced of the contrary, did not hesitate to declare his opinion, and in order to convince the troops that the King entertained opinions different to what they ima gined, obtained an interview for a deputation of several of the Officers with his Majesty ; but, notwithstanding.. his assurances, the Officers withdrew, and again joined their regiments, without having experienced any molestation. [BRITISH VRESS.3 The Marques; of Lansdown last night in the louse of Lords postponed his intended motion relative to th© Slave Trade until next Session.— His Lordship concluded with stating that he should not be able to attend again in his place during the present Session. The House of Commons were last night en- i gaged, in Committee of Supply, in voting the sums 'required for the miscellaneous services of Ireland; and certain grants for civil contingen cies, &c. in Great Britain.' A further grant of 200,000/. towards relieving the exigencies of the present condition of Ireland was also voted.— (/bid.) [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We have already noticed the real or pretended ignorance of Lord Londonderry, with respect to Turkey, when he attempted to ridicule the re legating five millions of Turks to Asia. We. could shew his Lordship, from as good authority as can be got for such matters, that there are not above one million of Turks in Europe, and that the Greeks, who form the indigenous population, exceed them many times in number.—We in tended to have laid before our readers this day some details, -shewing what the real si tuation of Turkey is, but we are compelled to postpone them. They form the best an swer to the question, what ought to be the policy of England on this eventful occasion ? Affairs have now gone so far in Turkey, that they must end in the independence of the ,Greeks, or their destruction. If a reconciliation could be effected between the contending par- ties, it is not the policy of England to wish it. — England ought to wish to see a firm and well cemented Power in Turkey, and it is utterly impossible that a million of armed marauders, holding above seven millions of Greeks in un willing subjection, can ever attain either strength or consistency. That Turkey may be strong, she must not be occupied by a divided. popula tion ; and as a choice between the Greeks and Tucks becomes necessary, it is obvious that a po pulation ofseven millions must, with a, view to strength, be better than one, leaving knowledge and capability of iinprovement out of the ques tion,—lf England, neglects the present oppor tunity of securing Turkey while the Holy Al liance is unable to move, she will soon have cause to repent it.—Do not let it be thought that Russia has renounced her designs on Turkey, or that the semi-official Declaration we yesterday gave from a German Paper, is any thing but a tissue of deceit. We trust we shall be able to unmask that immoral power so com pletely, that not a shadow of doubt shall remain with respect either to her views or her con duct. We shall exhibit the Magnanimous Alex ander in his true colours. Humanity and the rue interest of England will be Clem' found the same. If we can show this, and we can have no difficulty in doing so, we conceive that we have at least a claim on Government not to aid the Turks, either directly or indirectly. Without affording any pretext to the Members of the Holy Alliance, there are various ways by which Englishmen can assist the Greeks, and defeat th'e policy of the Russians.:—lt is not ❑ecessary for U 3 to put them out at this time. [MORNING HERALD." An express has reached town from Madrid, which brings information from thence down to the 14th instant. The letters confirm the report received by way of Paris of the resignation of all the Spanish Ministers.; and although several individuals had been applied to, to fill up the vacant offices, it is mentioned that no one had been found who -was willing to ac cept them ; and, under these circumstances, the King is represented as being in a most precarious situation, standing alone, without the advice or assistance of any Minister whatever. The City of Madrid, it is also stated, was apparently tranquil, but important events were expected to take place, and the people were held in the most awful suspense. General Morillo has" gained the entire confidence of the King, in con sequence of his having refused to accede to the earnes soliciiations of the Spanish Guards to place himself at their head, and oppose himself to the existing Government. The arguments which were made use of by the Officers were, that al though Ferdinand Might apparently uphold the Constitutional System, he was, in fact, ultra-, vourable to it; and that, in the event of the general body of the military declaring in favour of the ancient order of things, his wishes would be accomplished, and he would support the troops. General Morillo, being convinced of the contrary, did not hesitate to declare his opi nion ; and in order to convince the troopS that the King entertained opinions different to what they imagined, obtained an interview for ' depu tation of . several of the Officers with the King; but notwithstanding the assurances of his Majesty, the Officers withdrew and again joined their re giments, without any inelestation being offered thetn.

The Sovereign Constituent Congress of Mexico, assembled in an Extraordinary Session by the occurrences of the preceding night, and called upon this day by the Generalissimo and H i g h Admiral, to consider various documents recorded in the trans actions of the day, abhorrent to the wishes of the people;. conform ing with the general wishes of Congress and the nation, having taken into consideration that the Cortes of Spain, by a de- cree inserted in the Gazette pf - Madrid pf the 13th' and 14th of February last, have declared null and void the l , treaty of Cordova ; and that, therefore, the case prov ided for ceases to be obligatory on the Mexican nation : by the third article of the said treaty the authority recurs to the Sovereign Congress, constituent of this empire, to nomi nate a person as Emperor, and to exclude all others from I thenceforth ; and, after due consideration,. they have declared that the Senor D.

RIOT AT ASTLEY CHAPEL.—A dispute has for some time subsisted between the inhabitants of Astley, in the county of Lancaster, and the Vicar of Leigh, respecting the right of presentation to the Perpetual Curacy of the Chapel.— The Vicar nominated Mr. BIRKETT, and on Sunday week last, that Gentleman, accompanied by a Sheriff's Officer, and the High Constable of the Division, proceeded to take possession of the Chapel. The party were opposed by a large body of the inhabitants who were,collected, and Mr. BinNET T was very roughly treated; nor were they able to enter t i le Chapel until they had obtained the assistance of a party of the 7th Dragoon Guards. On Thursday three persons, Joseph Rawson, James Thorpe, and Joseph Beaumont, were taken into custody, and conveyed to Leigh for examination before Mr. BORRON, when Joseph Beaumont for an assault, and Joseph Rawson and James Thorpe for a riot, and obstruct ing the Sheriff's officer in the execution of the writ, were com mitted for trial at the West Derby Sessions. Bail, however, was instantly offered for their appearance, and they were set at liberty. On the other side, writs of quare impedit against the Bishop of CHESTER, the 'Vicar of Leigh, and the de facto Curate, have been sent for, and will probably be served to-day. • Yesterday afternobn, about five . o'clock, a very: heavy rain came on, which continued without intermission till an early hair this morning. The flood was so great that the Cowgate and all the low streets were inundated, and the people inhabiting 'them were employed the greater part of the night in baling the water out of their houses.—On Thursday, a little before two o'clock, this city was visited by some loud peals of thunder, accompanied with vivid flashes of lightning, and followed by a torrent of rain, which, however, scarcely lasted an hour ;• but, after an interval of the like dura tion, the storm again commenced, when the noise of the thunder was more alarmingly loud, and .showers of rain and uncommon ly large hail fell. A melaniholy accident happened during the storm at Port Hopetoun. • Some of the workmen employed in building the range of vaults on the west side of the Canal basin, had taken shelter from the rain under one of them, and, un fortunately, while they were there, and at the same instant with 'the last peal of thunder, the whole of the arches, four in number, fell with an awful crash. One man named Pagan, a mason, who resided ih the village of Slateford, and had only come there to work the day before, was killed on the spot, and another had his leg considerably injured --(Edinbur gh Courant, July 20.) AMILTON, JULY 15.—This day our jail was again broken for the seventh time within these few years. But this last effort to obtain liberty surpassed any thing for au daucity and ingenuity in the annals of jail-breaking.— Two smugglers, or illicit distillers, were apprehended some weeks ago in a moor in the parish of Kilbride, 'with their malt and apparatus; they were. escorted to Hamilton by a party of volunteers, and were lodged in jail. Ode of the smugglers on Monday last sent for a man of business, who wrote a letter to the Excise Board, offering ten pounds for his liberation.— It so• happens that their place 'of confinement is immediately over the Court hall, and while the Court was engaged,in taking a precognition, the two smugglers cut a hole of about a yard square in the floor, and had the lath so nicely cut, that when 'tile Court closed, the prisoners dropped down, mixed with the crowd, and deliberately took the road. Their pursuers have'as yet been unsuccessful in tracing the fugitives. A very melancholy accident occurred on Wed nesday, in the immediate vicinity of Inverness. The mil ler's wife at Culcabock, washing some clothes at the mill lead, did not miss a child, between three and four years old, who had been with her, until the little innocent having, while playing itself, got entangled with the wheel, was drawn in and instantly crushed to death. The mutilated re mains were observed in the stream by another woman, who directed to it the attention of the agonized mother. CORONER'S I NQ UEST. — Yesterday afternoon an Inquest was held at St. James's Workhouse, Poland-street, before A. GELL, Esq., on the body of Lieutenant JOHN Hor..xuaat, of the Royal Navy. The deceased, it appeared, was in the habit of hard drinking; but appeared to enjoy a good state of health up to Saturday night last, when he left a party of friends, and was soon after found in the street a corpse. There being some suipicion that the deceased had met with violence,in the absence of evidence as to the cause of hii death, the Jury returned a verdict of " Found dead." THE ARMY. NEW REGULATIONS.

Thursday that very fine regiment of infantry, the 13th, on its, way to embark for England, passed, between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening, through College-green, Dublin, attended by an crowd of people, cheering them as they passed along. The bugles were sounding ; when they came up to the statue of King 'William, they suddenly ceased, and the band instantly struck up the enlivennzg national air of " Patrick's Day." Yesterday morning, the Royal Mid Lothian Yeomanry Ca valry were inspected on Portobello Sands, by Major-General Sir T H OMAS BRADFORD, who expressed himself in terms of high approbation at the appearance and discipline of the regi ment.

JURY COURT, EDINBURGH, THURSDAY, JULY 18. LIEUT.-GEN. WALTER KER V. THE DUKE OF ROXBURGH. This was a most interesting case. It was alleged that the defender had purchased of one William Smyth certain informa tion which he had acquiredduring his confidential service in the employ of the Pursuer's agent; that this information afterwards formed a principal ground. of an action which the defender had raised against the Pursuer, and which was carried on as an Appeal bfore the House of Lords; that the present Pur suer, although the appeal had been decided in his favour, and although he had been allowed professional costs in that action, had, notwithstanding, incurred vast additional expenses, amounting to 2,6001,- The present action was brought to recover damages for that loss, and also a solatium for the injury to which his feelings and his reputation had for a long time been ex posed, from the unmerited stigma which this litigation had cast upon his family. The LORD CHIEF COMMISSIONER (after hearing evidence) charged the Jury, that if any wrong had been done to the Pur suer, through the means by which the Defender had obtained the information in question, the Defender was liable for the consequences, even to the full amount of expenses computed as between constituent and agent; and also that if the Pursuer had, in consequence, suffered any injury in mind or reputation, he was over and above entitled to,a commensurate solatium. Mr. COCKBURN thought that this was the proper time to take exceptions to that part of his Lordship's charge which af fected the general question of relevancy, in case his client should afterwards be advised to appeal. The Jury retired for about twenty minutes, and returned with a verdict for the Pursuer—Damages 3,001. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD THIS WEEK.
