T.13,E LONDON JOURNALS. . . SITIeKCTS FROM THE DAILY 'MORNING PAPERS, June 28-, [THE TIMES.] By the Kent East Endiaman, letters dated the 515th of February were received yesterday from Canton, conveying the satisfactory intelligence that the differences with the Chinese have been Amicably adjusted. To add to the value of this information, we learn also that the Chinese Go- Yernment have abandoned the principle that the representatives of the East India Company at Canton are responsible for acts committed by British ships of war, thus securing a most im portant point to our trade with China, and les sening the danger of occurrences like that for which it has recently suffered a suspension of more than two months, since the crews of the In diamen are much less likely than those of the men of war to engage in affrays with the peaceful subjects of the " *Celestial Empire." -We un derstand that the fortunate result in which the differences have terminated, has been greatly owing to the advantage enjoyed by the represen tatives of the East India Company at Canton, in the abilities of Dr. Morrison, together with his profound knowledge of the language, laws, and usages of China. [NEW TIMES.] Whether it be parliamentary to say that any thing uttered by a Member of Opposition is " disgusting," we will not presume to determine; but we can answer for it that the public at large has viewed with the utmost disgust the impotent attempt. to 'depreciate the character and to wound the paternal feelings of a most amiable and re spected Nobleman. Lord Sidmouth has the proud conviction of having carried into private life the 'gratitude, esteem, and veneration of every man who has a heart to feel, or a head to compre hend moral and political excellence. A faithful servant of his King and country for nearly forty years, the memory of his important services is cherished alike by Sovereign and People. All know him to have been as firm and inflexible in the discharge of public duty,as he was unaffectedly mild and, amiable in his private deportment. In tegrity was his great personal characteristic, and a zealous attachment to our free Constitution was the undeviating rule of his political conduct. To affect to place such a Statesman on the level of a door-keeper," is either the mark of a'petty, mean, and en.ious spirit, or it, indicates a degree of conceited vanity, which the English Public must view with sovereign contempt. We natu rally ask, who is the Micromegas of the Senate, that looks flown from the height of his stupendous intellect on a former Prime Minister of this country ? What talent has this self-satisfied Gen. tleman himself evinced ? What large and States man-like views does he entertain ? What refine ment and, delicacy is observable in his man ners ? The answer to these questions is but too obvious ; and if 'it could ever have been doubted, that doubt' is now entirely removed.— We agree with an Evening Paper, that Lord Sidmouth has great reason to expect• to en counter the malevolence of the weak-minded and the factious. He possesses claims to venera tion which they can never hope to enjoy. He has wrought/ benefits to his country which they dare not aspire to parallel. Ilis disinterested ness and liberality, i❑ declining, on more than one occasion, the remuneration usual on quitting office, are virtues, which _perhaps they would rather be excused from imitating. But the people, the considerate and reflecting people of England, not only cherish a grateful remembrance of Lord Sidmouth's virtues they share the sentiments of Lord Londonderry, in repelling the attacks on his late colleague with utter scorn and indig nation. [MORNING POST.] t LORD SIDMOUTII —The result of Mr. Creevey's motion on Wednesday night has naturally afforded, great satisfaction to every liberal and loyal mind. Notwithstanding the assertion made to the con trary, it is obvious that the attacks upon this truly upright Noble Lord by the factious arise not from any unfitness on the part of his Lord ship for the duties of the offices he has held, as they unfairly and disingenuously allege, but be cause he filled, them too well for their purposes; because, whilst he did fill them, he disappointed all 'their calculations, defeated all their pro phecies, and made them the scorn and laughing-, stock of the whole country; because he would not be cajoled and. gulled by the affectation of attach ment to the Constitution_ exhibited by those who were converting its forms into engines for its de struction; because he was not so stupid and be sotted as to believe that the Manchester and other Meetings had for their aim and object the welfare"of the Empire and the protection of our lttws. They hate him, because he would not stand by in apathy and silence, and suffer Buo naparte to ~c,trry on without interruption his , views of ambition and aggrandizement ; because he roused the energies of the country to under take that war which finally put down the tyrant, and carried our country to the,highest pinnacle of greatness and glory.; they hate him, because there was not one promise thpy made, nor one, prediction they held out, during the whole course of that war, that was fulfilled. These are the causes of the deadly hate they bear him ;' and far be it from us to deny that, on their own grounds, they have full cause to hate him. But every thing that makes him obnoxious to them makes him dear to us, and gives him an everlast , ing claim to the thanks and gratitude of his country. Had his Lordship merited the good will and eulogies of the factious, he: would have been to, us as much an object of contempt and indignation as he is now the- object or our utmost respect and veneration. [BRITISH PRESS.] Last night Sir John Newport called the atten tion of the House of Commons to the increased and increasing famine in Ireland. The heart *that wotild not be deeply affected_ with the de tails of misery which, are passing In that unhappy country, must be incapableof any generous senti ment. He stated the appalling fact, that in one parish in Ireland fifteen persons had actually perished from want of food !!! Eight individuals in the same parish had been declared past recovery !!! and 130 persons are at this moment lying in a malig nant fever,generated from the same baneful cause !!! Can language express more powerfully than the simple narration of these facts, the imperious demand which is made upon the Government i:of the country ? Be the expence what it may, the,object should be accomplished. It is not a subject for a cold calculation—it is not an act of benevolence, it is an act of common and obvious justice, mercy, and necessity. It surely must be the first and , highest duty of any government to preserve those whom they govern from the hor rors of starvation. The Irish Secretary stated that every exertion was making by Government to arrest the progress of desolation ; but from the want of roads, and the difficulty of communication in those dislricts which are most distressed, great impediments were thrown in the way of affording relief ; however, there was at present an engineer o❑ the spot, invested with full powers, not only to give 'employment, but to supply food where ever it was wanted, without the delay of sending for instructions to the Government, and through his exertions the Government entertained the hope that the dreadful calamities so anxiously anticipated would be averted. . [MORNING HERALD.] Extract of a letter from a Gentleman con nected with the English Factory, dated Canton, February 26.—" Our flag is once more flying here, and our trade has resumed its former state, the edict of the Emperor having been received, by which permission was given for the Fac tory to resume its former occupations.. The report of the Mandarin who visited the Topaze was much in our favour, and the termina tion of this unfortunate dispute much earlier than could have been expected. In fact, at one time our hopes of adjustment were very small, as the Chinese Government appeared proudly inve terate, and their edicts couched in the most of fensive terms. One of them styled us " gain scheming Europeans," and all of them more or less pointed out our vast inferiority to the natives of the Celestial Empire. This happy result is only to be attributed to the peculiar and charac teristic firmness of the British Factory, which has occasioned no little surprise among the European traders here, particularly the Americans, to whose late behaviour it forms a perfect contrast. This settlement, of course, is to be followed by certain presents to the men in office, of which the real suf ferers will get but little. The actual sum to be given I am not aware of, but the Viceroy looks for a remuneration for his exertions : the Em peror's edict is by no means intended to he gratis the wounded, of course,' must be on the pension list. The' Hong merchants have not me morialised for nothing ; and there are a few et ceteras, which, altogether, will make this not the most profitable speculation of the Company. However, we are all glad it is so settled, and feel as if we were, inspired with new life. The Americans, I fancy, are not a little disappointed at this ending of the' affair, as they had calcu lated on reaping'no little benefit from our dif ferences." [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Through the polite attentions of a coirespon dent, we have been enabled to peruse a file of the . Noticioso, Havannah Paper, up to the 10th ult., as well as several letters relating to the affairs of New Spain. From them we have been able to collect, -that the General Congress met in the Mexican capital on the 24th February, when the Deputies took an oath " to preserve the Catholic Religion, and admit of no other—to watch over.the independence of their country— to form a Constitution on the plan submitted by Iguala,and in conformity to the treaties made with Viceroy O'Donoju in Cordova—to adopt a Monar chical form of Government, &c." Committees were afterwards appointed under the following heads, viz. External Affairs, Internal ditto, Revenue, War, Justiciary, Ecclesiastical Affairs, Ptiblic Instruction, Commerce, Mines, Agriculture, Colo nization, and Police. The Congress subsequently determined to elect Iturbide Regent, for the present, thui placing him at the head of the Executive.—When the last accounts left the capital, no positive opinion could be formed of the determinations of the Congress respecting the disavowal, on the part of the Spanish Go vernment, of all that O'Donoju had done, and on which the Mexicans have hitherto acted with gieat scrupulosity ; but it was thought it would produce considerable changes in the ulterior ar rangementi for the adoption of a permanent form of Government best suited to the country. Evi dently there are three parties in New Spain. One clings to an European connection, and consists chiefly of the chapetanes, or those born in Spain, or connected with her in commerce. This party is not numerous; but it is powerful, in consequence of the wealth and moral influence it possesses, and those who cling to it apprehend as well the ambition of individual leaders, as the consequences of anarchy and civil war. This party would be greatly diminished if the affairs of the country assumed a stable form, as it cannot be a pointof grefit 'conse quence to Spaniards, married and established in the country, what name is given to the Government under which they live, as long as it answers the ends for which it is instituted. The second party is in favour of a monarchy, as best suited to the state of the country, and are of opinion, that if a Sovereign cannot be obtained by negociation from Europe, they had better elect one among themselves. This party chiefly em braces the soldiery, titled characters, &c. They ,have. their eye on one Mexican Nobleman, in case they cannot be suited from Europe ; but this individual, although possessing great merits and 'many fri-ends, has not ambition enough to accept the perilous station. Iturbide, it is thought, 'would also be a powerful candidate, resting his .claim chiefly on what he has done in behalf of the country. The third party is in favour of • republican principles, and is the most numerous, although not- well connected. It is thought that the United States will encourage - 6nd uphold d this party. FOR THE SUN. HERESY-(ANSWER.) MR. EDITOR—I have read, with considerable surprise, a letter in your paper‘of last night on the subject of " HERESY."- The Ivriter does not condescend to explain what he Means by that very general dud much misapplied term " Heresy," but I discOVer, from the general tenor of his / observations, that he is aiming a lash at the Cal vinistic and Evangelical Clergy,—men who, he says, will not receive our articles in that sense in which the Bishop pleases to impose them.. Mr. Editor, this observation shews (as do several others) that the writer is very bigotted, and I have, therefore,little hope of convincing him by any argument within my humble reach ; but I trust to your candour to insert these remarks, in order, if not to counteract the effects of the letter in question, yet to cast a proper suspicion upon it, to prevent any of your readers, from being thereby misled. The Articles of our Church I had always supposed were to be received and understood according to their literal and gram matical meaning, and I was not till now aware that any Bishop had authority to impose his own interpretation of them. At the Reformation Cal vinism was the fashionable doctrine in England, and our Articles 'were framed principally by Calvinists, but, at the same time, in such general terms as to allow an Arminian to subscribe them, ex animo ; it is, therefore, rather . too much for an Arminian now to tell a Calvinist that he ought not to be allowed to subscribe the Articles be cause they cannot be so Perverted as to bear his interpretation of them. The original object of our Church_ was to receive within its pale all who conform to its discipline and receive its essential doctrines, plainly expressed, not interfering with their opinions upon any controvertible point.— Your Correspondent, on the other hand, would send all to a conventicle who will not receive the Articles according to the Bishop's interpretation : an impartial man may therefore see who causes schism ; the new lights (as your Correspondent calls those against whom he writes) do not secede, but your Correspondent would drive them away from the Church. Tempora Mutintur ! This is very unlike what was formerly, and what ought , to be. In ancient days the Church would drive none away who did not impugn a plain doctrine . or commit gross,immorality. There are two classes of men who lie under your Correspondent's indignation—the Calvinistic Clergy and the Evangelical Clergy :—they are not the same, though frequently confounded to gether ; many an Evangelical Clergyman is as far Calvinism as Bishop Marsh .himself. The Calvinistic Clergy (I mean' not to include n this term Antinornians and wild visionaries, with whom your Correspondent may deal as he pleases,) agree with their Arminian brethren in every point which our Church has expressed plainly, and enforced as essential to salvation.; / do not, therefore, think it fair to brand them as heretics, because, as to some points, which our Articles either leave in obscurity or do not refer to, they entertain different views from others. The Evangelical Clergy generally, whe ther Calvinistic or Arminian, agree with their brethren of their respective classes as to matters of doctrine, and are only .to be distinguished by a more assiduous discharge of their official duties, and by a more earnest endeavour' to pass through the world unspotted by it. I do not, therefore, think they deserve to be called heretics by any Church, grounded on that Bible which directs us not to be conformed to this world, and which reprobates those who are lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Your Correspondent speaks of a collection among the congregations of Evangelical Clergy men : I have resided in many different places and never knew of such a circumstance ; I can not deny the fact, though I think I should have heard of it if true. However, if there be such a collection, before I can say that the object of it is bad, I must be convinced that the principles of the Evangelical Clergy are bad. I need not say that at present I think very differetatly, and wish they were imitated by many of their opponents. I will not trouble yott.with any further obser- vations, except, by the way, to remind your Cor respondent that when the Apostles speak of" the Church," they mean the Church of Christ gene rally, and not the Church of England or any other Church in particular, for which reason his quotations from their Epistles are not well ap plied. I can scarcely Suppose that he thinks the Church of England to be the only true Church ; if such be his opinion, with all my respect for and attachment to our Established Church, I cannot be sufficiently bigotted and illiberal to join in such a sentiment. Thursday, June 20, 1822. F. D A TRUE SOLDIER.—On Tuesday the 18th inst. died, at his mother's house, in. the parish of Much Birch, H erefordshire,W pt. Ann's, belonging to the 3d Battalion of Gre nadier Guards, nowin Dublin. This brave fellow bore his share in the glorious battle of 'Waterloo, where he_was In consequence of ill health, a short time since he obtained leave to .visit his friends.sith the hope that his.native air would prove beneficial to his shattered frame, but a rapid -decline left recovery_ hopeless, and he contemplated the approach of-death with the.firmness of a man, and the resignation of a.- Christian. On the 18th (the anniversary of the battle of 'Waterloo) he re quested his mother to decorate his room with laurel, and place his -medal oir his breast. Ha also, in the course. of that day; received the sacrament, and, after surveying the reward of his bravery with evident exultation .and pleasure, desired it to be laid on his coffin when he should be buried, thanked his mother for all her attentions to him, and in the evening resigned his gallant spirit for a better world, observing with a smile of satisfaction, Just before he expired, " that it was a day on whiea a soldier ought to be proud tadie." CORONER'S INQUEST.—TIRE RIOT IN WtST- MlNSTEß.—Yesterday afternoon an Inquisition was taken, at the Black Bull, in Little Chapel steet, Broadway, Westminster, before THOMAS HIGGS, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Ralph Hart, an unfortunate man who was shot during the late disturbance which took place in Great Peter-street, Westminster, on the 27th May last, it beina at that time , the Tothill-fields fair , (Whitsun Monday.) The particulars have been published, and the evidence adduced yesterday added nothing material to what has been already stated. It was not proved that any particular . • . individual fired the pistol by which the deceaSed was shot.—The Jury,vvithout any hesitation, re - t.irtied a verdict of—" Justifiable liotuicide."

ROWING MATCH. Yesterday evening a Prize Wherry (given by the Gentlemen of the Inns of Court and others), was contended for by eight watermen belonging to the Temple Stairs. In starting on the third and final heat, Henry Mallett took the lead, and kept it till he got to 'Waterloo Bridge, when he • went through the wrong arch, and there ran foul of a boat, which caused him to delay some seconds to right himself ; in the meantime his brother, T. Mallett, got considerably ahead, and after a severe contest won the prize. BOXING. The Fancy had an unexpected muster yesterday, in Green Meadows, on the Stanmore road. It was a trial match between George Davis, a Welshman, who had fought his way up,. and on whom the Deputy Commissary had passed a promising opinion ; and Oliver, a descendant of a game one of that name some years ago. It was a hasty match for 5/. but it turned out one of the best fights that has been seen this year. In the first round the men turned to with as much eagerness as a hungry fellow would at a leg of mutton, and they hit each other several times to a stand stilL The round lasted eight minutes, and Davis threw his adversary a rattling cross buttock. The second round was equally courageously ma ntained, and the claret crimsoned the ground. Davis was hit down by a right-handed facer from a punishing rally.' 3. The fastness was taken off the men, and their hitting be came lighter. It was a trial of strength ; Oliver was thrown heavily again. 4. The combatants having recovered second wind, turned it to account again, and fought as brave a round as ever was seen ; they exchanged hit for hit more than a dozen times, till their hands were swollen as round as dumpling's. Davis closed the round by throwing his adversary again, which made his bones rattle. Two other rounds were fought, but Oliver was sick, and :Butchers' cordial was useless; he fought this round gaily, and broke his adversary's nose, but he was floored for it. The sixth round won Davis the fight by a well-placed blow on the temple which sent Oliver to dorse, and he was senseless to time. Davis will be a sticker, with some practice. WILLIAM KERR, ESQ. In noticing this Gentleman's retiring from the public service, we cannot allow the opportunity to pass without expressing our sentiments of esteem and respect both for his public and private character. Mr. KERR originally was bred a merchant, under that highly respected gentleman, Provost Colquhoun of Glasgow ; and in the year 1780 his father, William Kerr, Esq. Surveyor of the General Post Office, being ordered to Madeira and Lisbon, for the recovery of his health, that filial affection which so conspicuously glowed in the bosom of our friend, in duced him to abandon his mercantile pursuits, and, with the approbation of his master, to accompany his parent on that in teresting occasion. In the month of June in that year, they returned, without having derived any material benefit from the voyage or change of climate, and on the 12th of that month Mr. Kerr, jun. entered into the Post Office to aid and assist his father, whose complaints terminated in his dissolution, on the 10th March 1782 ; when his son was appointed his suc cessor as Surveyor, and continued in that situation until 1789, at which period he succeeded David Ross, Esq. as Secretary. In every public undertaking, where the good of society, or the cause of humanity was concerned, Mr. Kerr was always ready to afford his assistance. The memorable battle of 'Waterloo, so glo rious in the annals of British history, made many a widow and orphan—deprived many au aged paren t of their only support, and many a brave fellow of the possibility of earning his future suste nance, in consequence of the honourable scars that he received on that day. All good subjects were anxious to testify their gratitude by contributing their mite towards relieving such dis tress ; and Mr. Kerr, with'that true benevolence that has cha racterised him through life, applied for and obtained permis sion to forward all letters to the different parishes connected with that fund, which, although attended with the happiest effects in advancing its prosperity, was the cause of the most incalculable trouble to himself. Mr. Kerr, from his long ser vices, and finding his health considerably impaired, intimated in November last his intention to resign the office of Secretary, and. early in February, tendered his resignation, which was accepted of ; while, at the same time, he was requested to dis charge the duties until a successor should be appointed. Mr. Godby, from the General Post Office, London, has now come down to fill that 'important situation ; and Mr. Kerr, after forty-two years services, retires to spend the remainder of his days in the enjoyment of life. We may with confidence say, that none ever retired from public office, after such a lengthen ed service, who has more firmly securedi not merely the good wishes, but the love and esteem of all ranks in society.— ( Edinburgh ('ourant. ) A most beautiful Parhelion, or mock sun, was observed, on Thursday se'nnight, in Sussex; A cloud of the cirro stratus kind was at the time passing before the sun. There was no halo or corona, but the colours of the rainbow singularly distinct and brilliant, and continued visible for about twenty ' minutes. FOR THE SUN. • LIVE AND LET LIVE. MR. EDlTOR—Reading in your Paper a few days since (which I constantly do), some re marks from Bath, which apply so forcibly to trade of every description, not only there but in every place throughout the kingdom, I beg to trespass on you for the publication of a few ob servations. And Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE hai r ' ing having brought the subject of emigration be fore Parliament, still farther induces me to tres pass on your Press, in the hope that what I may say may have some weight in the consideration, of every well-wisher to his country. I conceive Emigration fraught with the great est loss to the general weal, andin a great mea sure the cause of the present 'distress, inasmuch as the money thus spent is that which is derived from the hard earnings of the tenantry, or from some other source of income obtained at home; and be the source what it may, the agriculturist, the tradesman, and the mechanic, in their respec tive residences here, must ultimately be involved in the great vortex of poverty which at present exists. I sensibly feel that the farmer cannot now pal the rent he used to do, nor even what he does with punctuality ;—that the manufacturers and tradeSo men are more or less circumscribed ;—and conse. , quently that the labourer and mechanic, from want of employ, are deprived of support for themselves and families. Furthermore, it is obvious that the Government and Parochial Taxes now bear par licularly hard on every housekeeper; and that emigration must cause them to be greater on those who. remain at home. In fact, it is lamentable that poverty stalks in every place throughout these kingdoms to a greater or less extent. Such being unhappily the case, it becomes the bounden duty of every one to endeavour to miti gate these evils as much as he can.—lt is a duty he owes his neighbour, in preference to the stranger, and surely to love him as ourselves must be grateful to every one's feelings. As in times of old, rather than add to the distress, ought not a national sympathy to avast in every breast ;• ought not the milk of human kindness to flow - generally throughout the United Kingdom; and is it not reasonable that our friends at home, thousands of whom are sinking iota penury, and many even without the necessarieS to support life, should expect the preference of what remains ? The consumption of Agricultural produce being lessened, the price of it consequently must de crease;and the same cause produces the same . effect on the manufacturer and tradesman. The Poor have no other alternative but a work-house . And poverty and dejection are depicted in every countenance. This appeal is therefore respectfully submitte d to the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of the United Kingdoms; in the hope that if any na tional pride still remains in British veins, that a national feeling for those in distress will be the first object of every Briton, and that property ac quired on British ground (be it ever so little) should be there expended ; thata stigma, so unna tural as live and not let live, never again may dis' grace the inhabitants of our afflicted country. Surely it cannot be considered as dishonourable , but on the contrary creditable„ in any Gentle man, however high his rank, to retrench his ex" pences, when the times demand it ; but vice versa? unjust, unfeeling, and dishonourable in him, to spend abroad when I may say all ranks at home require his friendly aid. When the Agricultn d rist is compelled to desert his farm,—when trade generally is in a very crippled and precarious state, and no longer able to maintain that re: spectability and credit it used to do—all" finally, when all are more or less involvid distress—be your mite therefore what it mail, be your means ever so little, let that little be di S ' tributed at home. Then you will fulfil your dutP as well as my motto. Live and let live.
