THE LONDON JOURNAL.;. IICIRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, May 4, 1822. [MORNING POST.] ... It is with infinite satisfaction we refer our Readers to two Advertisements (see our , first yui,ge) relative to the measures - already humanely adopted in this metropolis to supply the neces sary relief, to our famishing fellow-creatures in Ireland. Never certainly was active benevolence more urgently called for than in the present ex treme and heart-rending case, and truly rejoiced are we to find that the call of suffering humanity - has been thus promptly and extensively attended to ; and under such auspices, besides, that means. so laudably applied cannot fail proving adequate to the desired virtuous end. It will be seen, that a Society has already been established in London " for the relief and employment of the Irish Poor," under the management of the Marquis Conyngliam, as IlonoraryDirector, and nineteen other Noblemen and Gentlemen of the highest character and consequdnce ; that Subscrip t-ions-are received at several eminent Banking lloUses; and that that justly esteemed and truly philanthropic Gentleman, Mr. Michell, of Queen square, acts as Secretary-to this most noble Asso ciation. It is delightful to fiud that in aid of the same humane and God-like purpose, a gene ral meeting has been called by a number of the most respectable Merchants and Bankers in the City, to be held at the City of Lon don Tavern on Tuesday next, which will TuDt fail to consummate the heavenly end. We look with perfect- confidence in this try ing emergency to • the characteristic - bene volence of our countrymen, whose laudable inter ference will be rewarded by the prayers and bles sings of thousands,who, though the most wretched in condition, are confessedly the most grateful and susceptible of kindness of any people on the face of GOD'S earth. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Agricultural Question did not come on last night as was expected. Agricultural dis tress, however, forms the alpha and omega of every night's proceedings ; and the first public business of the evening was the presentation of a Petition from the Eastern part of the County of Sussex, by Mr. Curtois, who is reported to have declared, that 46 as Ministers had 'de serted the interest of the Agriculturists 5 the Agriculturists had no alternative but to desert Ministers." Is. not this a very curious-declara tion ? Desert Ministers ! Aye, but where will they better themselves ? Who will go farther in the way of exposing the country to ruin for- their sake ? Bet we suppose this is a hint that they mean to set up for themselves. Sir Thomas Lethbridge, who seems from his Resolutions to be very profound in matters of finance, and who enjoys so eminently the confidence of the party, - will probably be at the head of this rustic Admi nistration. Under such an Administration, Eng land cannot fail in a short time to be eminently happy and prosperous ; and the beatific vision -for the year 1900, which the worthy Abbe Galiani enjoyed in 1771, will be converted into sober reality in this, as it is on the point of being in some other countries :--" The arts," says the Abbe, 46 and the navy will be very much neglected. There will be, very little commerce, and it will be almost all by land, and between neighbour and neighbour; •for every nation having carried its agriculture• and its arts to perfection, will suffice for itself;- and the laws favourable to exportation, and contrary to im portation, will destroy all commerce ; for when every one wishes to give, and na one wishes to re. ceive, the consequence is, that no one can either give or receive any thing." We trust the rustic Administration will realize the suggestion of Bishop Berkeley, arid surround the island with a high wall, that the whole population may once more, as in the good old times of Queen Boadicea, derive their food, drink and raiment, exclusively from the soil of Britain, and the animals which it feeds. Under this system, that activity of mind in the people which fills more than High Church men and Papists with alarm, will soon settle down into gross and brutal stupidity. 0, the blessings reserved for a Rustic Administration ! [BRITISH PRESS.] A Message from the Crown was communicated last night to the House of Commons, in which his Majesty was graciously'pleased to acquaint the House that he will give directions that the salary of one of the Postmasters-General shall forthwith 'be discontinued. The present officers are, the Marquis of Salisbury and the Earl of Chichester. But his Majesty postpones the actual abolition of the office until he shall have the opportunity of considering what permanent arrangement may be advisable* for conducting the business of that department.—lf we could rightly catch the feel ings of the House of Commons upon this subject, we should say that the House in voting the Ad dress to the Crown did not contemplate the neces sity or expediency of altering the existing arrange ment for conducting the affairs of the Post-office be yond the mere removal of one of the Postmasters- G-erieral, and that the business should proceed ac cording to the present system, subject to the controul of only one Master, instead of two. It will be recollected that when the House of Com mons resolveil to strike off two of the Junior Lords of the Admiralty, the Ministers augured that the measure, instead of proving economical, would, in effect, increase the public expenditure. We cannot doubt the power of the Ministers to verify their own prophecies in this particular, but we cannot believe that, in a spirit of displeasure at•.the success of the country party,. they would ever stoop to the exercise of such a power. urnE TIMES.] The king's answer to the Address of the orn mons, desiring the reduction of one of the Post masters-General, will be found in to-day's jour nal. We regret to see that Ministers have made his - Majesty appropriate in a slight degree, and - very remotely, one of their own propositions — namely, that the two Postmasters had something to do, or that the services of one of them could , not: be conveniently dispensed with: whereas it is notorious that one Postmaster lived ,for years abroad. The Post-office was a mere sinecure. — And in truth the other has little more business with the office than to receive his salary. Sup posing public distress to go on, and farther re trenchments to become necessary, resisted as thsse retrenchments will be by Ministers, we should not be surprised at finding them attempt to put into the mouth of his Majesty some such veritable resolution as that respecting the value of a one-pound note (spoken of elsewhere), and which was tendered to, and accepted by, a now extinct House of Commons. Happily, however, his Majesty has not sixty pensioners in his bosom, and therefore would probably reject the adop tion of such a proposal. " His Majesty only postpones the abolition of , the office of one of the Postmasters-General, until he shall have had the op portunity of considering _what permanent arrangement may be Advisable for the conduct of the business of that department."— (King's reply. ) There certainly may be a new arrangement made to take the public money ; but as for _a new ar rangement " for conducting the business of the department," what new arrangement can be wanting to despatch that business which Lord Clancarty transacted, whilst at the Hague, at Urussels, and at Vienna, and the other Post, master can despatch without ever seeing Lom bard-street ? [MORNING HERALD.] The Chancellor of the Exchequer's new scheme for converting the life annuities, consisting of the dead charge of the half-pay and pensions, which would probably cease in 20 or 25 years, into an nuities for the term of 45 years, to be paid by contractors, has exciied-much interest. But why not pay these annuities so - as to get rid of them, by the course of nature, within the probable cal culation of 25 years ? , This would be as it should be. Mr. Vansittart, however,, for some reason, instead of paying the ring-tail of the late war out of our pockets.at once, in the .manner in which it has been fairly_ parcelled out to the pre sent generation, wants to thrust it forward 'upon posterity. Just as the previous generations have left in perpetuity upon those who. corpe after them, an interest on what is called the Funded Debt, paying annually 30 millions, instead of paying, as they ought, the expenses of their .own - wars from year to year, and when the wars ended having nothing to think of but " pew and plenty." There is, further, the principal sad dled upon 'posterity of little short of eight hun dred millions;, and all this is because the people in.those days wanted patriotism and honesty, to pay the expences of their own wars. Why did not the monied interest come forward, and say that they would subscribe and wipe off the debt, incurred by the war to which they had given their support ? [NEW TIMEs.j We cannot by any means congratulate the country on the result of Thursday'S debate. Many Members, we have no doubt, acted on a conscientious conviction that in reducing the office of one of the Postcnasters General they were going no further than was required by the public necessities ; but as our impression-is ex tremely different, we shall state it, with the re spect due to those honourable persons, but still 'with firmness and independence. It was not shown, nor do we believe it to be the fact, that the office of Joint Postmaster General was in the least of the nature of a sinecure ; its abolition was not proved to be necessary, either on administrative, financial, or political grounds. Does any body entertain the preposterous and inconsistent idea that high offices in the State, tit only to be held by distinguished personages, must necessarily be of such a nature as to occupy the whole of their time and attention, chaining them to the desk, like a galley slave to his bench, and forbidding all attention to their slither public functions, to their domestic concerns, or to the space which they have to fill in the general ar rangements of society.?. It is true, you may hire performers to sustain all the characters of the community at a_ far cheaper rate than they are now filled, from the King to the Scavenger. But this is not the spirit of a Monarchy. This is a Republic of the most base and beggarly description ; and we much fear that many late 'measures have had a direct ten dency to drive us toward such a state.--, Let the landed and the monied aristocracy open their eyes to this truth. There is no more reason in the nature of things, nor in the views and feelings of the mass of uninformed people, that men should enjoy large fortunes for doing. nothing, than for working ha'rd in the public service. Society cannot ,stand a moment if the merit of the possessor is to be in all cases the title to the possession. • PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS FOR REGULATION OF .
