TILE - LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM Tun DAILY MORNING PIPERS, July .24, 1822. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Accounts from Petersburgh to the 29th of Julie, state that matters are so settled between ftussia and Turkey, that the Russian Guards are either arriving or arrived. It was expected that the conduct of the Turks in Scio might in fluence Alexander's determination, but it had made no impression on him ; and he and the King of Prussia are going immediately to Vienna, on a long promised visit. It was understood that there would be no Congress. [THE TIMES.] Last night a discussion took place in the House of Commons respecting the recognition of the In dependance of Columbia. When individuals or States really feel themselves independent, the acknowledgment of the fact by others is a matter of little importance, as it affects the substantial rights of the party hitherto unrecognized, but may be of great consequence in removing jealousies, encouraging union, and promoting commercial intercourse. In the present case, a frank recog nition of South American Independence would remove much inconvenience to our nwrchants, ;,nd abolish many political anomalies which there can be no object in maintaining, after the do minion of Spain in these regions has for some time actually ceased, and all hopes of regaining it, even in the most limited degree, must be finally abandoned. Why the British Government should be the last to hail the birth of these new states we are at a loss to conjecture ; and we are afraid that we need scarcely refer our readers for a so lution of the difficulty to the explanations of our Foreign Minister last night, which will only be found a very skilful effort to make a tolerably long speech answer all the purposes of convenient silence Mr. • . Canning brought before the House of Commons, last night, some cases of horrible cruelty perpetrated by pirates on British mer chantmen navigating the West Indian seas. The Right 'lon. Gentleman stated, on the part of the petitioners, one amongst other facts, which must lie felt not a little galling to the pride of Eng lislnnen, and we do therefore think reflecting no small degree of shame on the managers of the British navy, whether abroad or at home. It is, that while British merchantmen have been at. tacked, and our flag insulted, by these piratical wretches, without the least redress from the men of war of this country, the cruisers of the United States have, in various instances, seized upon the criminals, and given shelter to the commerce of Great Britain, abandoned by its ow n natural protectors! So has it sometimes happened in the Mediterranean within the last eighteen months : Greek Christian fugitives, and .British lives and property, have alike owed salvation to the national flag of France, when that of the far-famed Mistress of the Seas was no where to be seen. This is not the sort of protection which we have a right to demand. That the British merchant should be indebted to the maritime rivals of his country in both hemis pheres, for that support which the Britain of formerffidays was more accustomed to bestow on surrounding nations, than to accept from their generosity, is more than an injury to commerce—it is a loss of character and a deep disgrace. Sir G. Cockburn, rising after Mr. Canning, took the easy and humble path of confessing the mischiefs which that Right lion. G entleman had deplored, aud•describing as general those tricks and atro cities of the pirates which the Member for Liver pool had but referred to in a limited number of cases. We trust that a more creditable state of things will be brought about before the ensuing Sdssion of Parliament.--(/bid.) [BRITISH PRESS. • A debate, which incidentally arose out of the presentation by Mr. Ellice of a petition in fa vour of the Canada Government and Trade Bill, was not a little singular in its result. The Bill in question had two professed objects in view.— The first was, to provide a remedy for the exist ing' differences between the Legislative Assem blies of the Upper and Lower Provinces on the subject of the appropriation of the revenues, which are wholly collected in the latter, and of the proceeds of which the former has been for some time deprived of its fair proportion.— The second avowed object of the Bill was to prevent .the recurrence of similar differences in future ; which it was proposed to effect by the incorporation of the two Legislatures into one, or, in other words, by a total change of the existing Constitution of the two Provinces ; abolishing the present Legislative Assembly of each Province, and substituting in their place one common Legislature for both, with regulations for its formation varying in 4nany particulars from those to which the exist ing Legislatures are subject. In the debate on the second reading of this Bill, on Thursday last, Sir J. Mackintosh forcibly reprobated the at tempt, at so late a period of the Session, to press through the House a measure entirely changing the Constitution of two large and important Co-: lonies, without allowing time for the inhabitants of those Colonies to become acquainted with the nature of the measure, and to express their opinions concerning it; and moved an amend ment, for the purpose of separating from each other the clauses of the Bill severally relating to the two objects which, as we have just stated, it professed to have in contemplation, and forming them into-two distinct Bills, of which that relat ing to the revenues might be passed immediately, and that which related to the incorporation of the Legislative Assemblies might he postponed till next Session, in order that the people of Canada might have time to consider of it, and to make their opinions known. The amend ment on that occasion was strongly opposed by Miniaters, and negatived by a Majority of 34 out of 62 votes.. In the debate of last night the same objections were revived and! strongly urged against the proceeding with the entire measure in the present Session, and with such effect as to induce the Marquis of London derry,,on the recommendation of Mr. Ellice, who had previously supported the Bill, of which we understand he was one of the principal aCivisers, to adopt the course pointed out by the amendment which had been negatived on the former evening. [NEW TIMES.] The accounts from Spain continue to present the same character of inconsistency and obscurity which they have for some time past exhibited. — If we believe one party, the Royal Guards have almost all surrendered themselves prisoners, and the Carbineers at Cordova have been cut to pieces. If we believe the other, both these corps remai❑ still in avowed opposition to the faction which is predominant at Madrid. The Royalist French Papers assert that the news from the Spanish Provinces is entirely favourable to the monarchical cause. " Scarcely had the first events at Madrid become known in the Pro vinces," say they, 46 when considerable troops were spontaneously formed in the Provinces of Zamora, Oviedo, Valladolid, Avila, and La Mancha. The Guadalaxara Regiment of Infantry, which was in garrison at Siguenza, had received orders to come to Madrid; but they had scarcely put themselves in march, when they were forced to fall back on account of a Royalist Conspiracy having broken out in that city, where 1500 men had assembled, and had disarmed the provincial militia. In Catalonia the good cause is decidedly triumphiant. The Constitutional Gen. Zirco del Valle has been beaten by the Royalists. Girona is blockaded ; so is Vich ; and so are many other principal towns. Biscay is in great agitation : the Royalist Guerillas are almost masters of the country.— Balda, Navarro, and Juanito, three Chiefs of the Royalist Junta of Navarre, occupy the right bank of the Ebro, and make numerous re cruits. General Quesada has taken up a posi tion at Aviz, a few leagues from Pampeluna.— The Revolutionists at Madrid, knowing how much importance the Spanish people in general attach to the personal safety of the King, labour to prove, by their speeches and Manifestoes, that His Majesty is equally secure in the hands of the revolutionary troops, as he was in those of his own faithful guards. This was the very language held by the Jacobins on the 10th of August 1792. Indeed, it may be said, that the Spanish Rebels have proceeded, step by step, with the Moniteur in their hand ; and have copied all the false-. hoods and all the violences of the San) Culottes with frightful accuracy. Poor Louis•XVl. on the 10th of August, when he abandoned the Tuilleries to put himself into the hands of the traitors in the National Assembly, said to them, ' I come hither to prevent a great crime, and I think I cannot be in greater safety any where than in the midst of you, Gentlemen.' This language was re-echoed by the National Assembly, in its Address to the French nation on the 13th of August, 1792, when they said that the King had rendered justice to the citizens by declaring that he considered himself safe in the midst of them." At the very moment that this Address was published, the King had, in fact, ceased to reign : he was a prisoner in the hands of these faithful citizens, who not many months afterwards struck off his head. With such an example before him, King Ferdinand will hardly regard the Constitutional principles of his pre sent gaolers as any very sure guarantee of his safety or his life. _ _ [MORNING POST.] Several plans are under consideration, and, we understand, likely to be adopted, with the view to deter from crime, and improve the administra tion of our criminal code. The expence of trans porting convicts to New South Wales, and the idea which has been disseminrted of the excel lence of the climate, and other circumstances in that colony (holding out inducements to the guilty to commit acts liable to the punishment of trans portation), have rendered some change in this respect highly necessary. Well known cases have occurred in which the principal object of the offender has been to get sent to Botany Bay ; and thus, instead of dread, the law has only inspired hope, and instigated the vicious to de linquency. It has been proposed to substitute for this exile to Bermuda, and the employment of the convict on the large Government works undertaken at that island. The expense will be greatly diminished, and the prospect of incessant labour, on fortifications and other public designs, will hold out no bonus for the commission of burglaries and robberies. Another important matter will be, that the punishment awarded by the law will certainly visit the crime. The chances of escape, so numerous at present, will be annihilated, and the sentence will be executed as pronounced, without depending on contin gencies and accidents. According to the existing system (and one of its chief evils,) the uncertainty of the ultimate determination of the law ope rates powerfully to the injury of society. It is in human nature to calculate on the fortunate side, and no beings can be more apt to indulge in such a train of thought as those whose lives are spent in continual apprehension and risk. Thus the thief flatters himself that he will be spared, be cause some deeper guilt demands the heaviest visitation of the Assize : his chance is that mur der, or rape, or arson must be punished, and not to overload the calendar with death, house breaking, sheep-stealing, highway-robbery, &c. which, under other circumstances, would be con signed to the gallows, will be mildly dealt with. The same reasoning pervades the whole coarse from transportation down to imprisonment and whipping, and no man can doubt that crime is thereby promoted.—Another of the alterations contemplated is also, in our opinion, well devised to strike a salutary dread into the minds of youth ful culprits, and effectually to punish the depre dations of this lamentably numerous, desperate, and depraved class. The project is to free society from these pests, to interrupt their progress to the scaffold, and to combine pu nishment with, an opportunity of reforming, by sending juvenile offenders to our settle meats on the coast of Africa, there to be re-1 gimented and disciplined, and, if possible, converted into useful members of the common weal. Cut off while young from vile habits and associations, their morals may be improved, and by being inured to the climate so fatal to persons more advanced in years, colonization in these parts may be effected in a manner not to distress humanity. Upon the whole, from what we have learnt concerning these plans, we consider them to be eminently calculated to diminish crime, purge the Metropolis of its greatest nuisances,and ultimately benefit the guilty themselves, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 23 STREET V. DENSHAM (FORMERLY STREET V. STREET.) This morning at ten o'clock, agreeably to the appointment made on Saturday, Horatio Reeves, who ran off with Miss Street (a Ward of Court), and his brother, who aided and as. sisted him in his undertaking, and also Mrs. Street, the Ward's mother, (who was as anxious as either of the other two that the order of the Court should be disobeyed,) attended by their Solicitors, met in his Lordship's private room, and after a short hearing the two young men were committed, and ordered to be taken down to the Fleet prison for contempt of the order of the Court ; and his Lordship said, their conduct was most in excusable. Mrs. Street pleaded for time to put in an answer to an affida. vit which was filed against her, and which she pretended not to have seen. His LORDSHIP gave her till Thursday, and ordered her to appear before him then again. It was reported in the Hall, that Miss Street, during the hear ing of the case, was in waiting in some house in the neighbour hood, lest she should be wanted ; but she was not sent for, though the order was, that they should produce the ward. After his LORDSHIP came into Court— Mr. HEALD said, that he was in a case of a similar nature, the parties concerned in which were ordered to appear in Court to-day ; but an application had been made to him not to men tion it till the other side had a further opportunity of filing some affidavits; but he felt himself bound to mention it, though not to press it. In this case the ward was 17 years of age, and was married against the order of the Court; while one of the executors, under whose care she was, was standing by during the ceremony. His LORDSHIP ordered that they should appear prepared, on Thursday. It appeared that there had been quite a misunderstanding at the bar as to what proceedings were to be gone on with to-day, as his Lordship had thought it was generally understood to be a motion day ; but the Learned Gentlemen not having so under stood it, not one of them was prepared to move any thing ; therefore— His Lordship said, about half-past 11 o'clock, he thought it would be better for him to return home again, and prepare some judgments for the House of Lords, rather than sit in the Court without having any thing to do, and begged that it might be generally and well understood that he would go regularly on with the motions on Thursday morning, beginning at half-past nine o'clock.—His Lordship then left the Court. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, JULY 23: THE CZAR, LEITH SMACK. This was a case of salvage, the particulars of which were briefly stated by Dr. LUSIIINGTON. It appeared that on the 29th of November, 1821, the Czar left the Port of London for Leith; that on the 30th a very heavy gale of wind came on, drove her far out of her course, and carried away her mast, sail, and rigging; the wreck of which the crew were obliged to cut away ; that she lost her kedge anchor, and was under the necessity of letting go her best bower an chor, upon which she continued to ride in great jeopardy until the morning of the 2d of December, during all which time she remained almost without hope and without probability of any assistance, being out of her due course ; that this was off the coast of Norfolk, and that on the morning of the 2d of Decem ber, the Cato and the Trusty smacks at length came to her assistance; and with much labour and difficulty succeeded in towing her into Harwich Roads (the two lines having broken in the interim two or three times) on the sth of December. — These two vessels were coming from the north, the same desti nation to which the Czar was proceeding; and happening, in the storm of the night of Dec. 1, to have been also driven out of their course, luckily fell in with the Czar. The Learned Council contended that the offer which the owners of that vessel had made to the crews of the Trusty and the Cato, being 7501. was not a sufficient one for so meritorious a service. The value of the smack and cargo was about 11,5821. The Court was, perhaps, aware that the Czar, at the time of the salvage being effected, was lying oft' one , of the most dangerous parts of the English coast—off Cromer, in Norfolk. Between Harwich and Hull, in all that long line of coast, there was not a single port into which a vessel could run for safety, however imminent the danger might be. The Court would judge, therefore, of the valuable aid which the two vessels in question had rendered to the Czar, and decree a sum for salvage ac cordingly. Dr. DODSON followed on the same side. Dr. ADAMS and Dr. GosTLING, for the owners of the Czar, contended that the service rendered was really one of little more than mere towage; and that the offer which had been already made to the parties was exceedingly liberal. Lord STOWELL gave to the crews of the two vessels, for the salvage service performed, 1,0001., and apportioned the amount thus— To the crew of the Cato (12 men) - £650 To the crew of the Trusty (14 men) - 350—£1,000 [N.B. The former of these smacks the Court concurred with the Counsel in considering to have rendered the more efficient assistance.l POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—Lord CHARLES BENTINCK appeared yes terday before G. R. MINSHULL, Esq.., the Sitting Magistrate, upon a summons to answer the charge of Robert 3lanby, his footman, for assaulting and beating him. The statement of the complainant, who was a mere lad, was this :—On Monday Lady Bentinck came home in her carriage, and when she had entered the house, he took her Ladyship's shawl, which she had left behind her, from the carriage into the drawing room. Lady Bentinck seeing this, desired to know what right he had to bring her shawl from the carriage, with out being ordered to do so, and desired him to take it back. He said he was sorry he had acted wrong, and would take care to avoid doing so in future, but he begged to be excused from tak ing it back to her carriage. Her Ladyship desired him to quit the room, and having informed Lord Charles of the circum stance, his Lordship came down stairs, and desired him to leave the house instantly ; he refused, demanding first to be paid a month's wages as per agreement, but to this his Lordship would not listen, and seizing him by the collar, he thrust him with great violence out of the house. His Lordship merely replied to the charge, that the servant had insolently disobeyed the commands of his lady, who hav ing communicated that fact to him, he chose to order him to leave the house ' - he refused, and he certainly did push him out, but not with great violence. Mr. said an assault had certainly been proved, but of such a nature that he should only call upon the Noble Defendant to enter into his own recognizance to appear at the Sessions to answer any charge that the complainant might choose to prefer. Lord Bentinck did so, and the matter terminated for the present. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. — The servant of a Mr. BAKER, at Gibraltar, lately took an oppor tunity, in the absence of his master, to commit a robbery. Having found the key of the iron chest, in which he knew his employer was ac customed to deposit very considerable sums, he opened it, and helped himself to 7,500 dollars. Ile then left the garrison with his booty, and escaped into Spain. A few days afterwards he was found cruelly murdered. It is supposed that he had an accomplice, who took this mode of possessing himself of the whole of the property which had been purloined, for when the deceased was found, no portion of the money was discovered about his person. FlRE.—Last night a fire broke out at the house of Mr. ROACII, bookseller, in Vinegar yard, which entirely destroyed the same, toge ther with the stock in trade. Fears were for, some time entertained that it would reach Drury lane Theatre, but happily, through the -exertions of the fire-men, the ravages were confined to the house in which the fire broke out.

EDlTon—Having seen the fate of Mr. WESTERN'S motions, and finding a large majority of the Lower House of Parliament utterly adverse to the total repeal of Mr. PEEL'S Bill, and the consequent re-establishment of the currency on the same footing as it has stood for upwards of the last twenty years, and under which every tax was imposed, every salary adjusted, and every contract, public and private, entered into, it has occurred to me that a middle way might be dis covered, in which all the possible advantages de rivable from that Bill might be obtained, the credit and honour of the Ministry in repealing what they so lately passed under an unanimous vote of the Committee, in a certain degree saved, and every useful purpose fully ensured by some thing to the following purport. The great and indeed only substantial argument against the total repeal of that Bill, and consequent re turn to paper currency, founds itself on the pos sible nay probable depreciation of that paper, when thrown in too great abundance into the market, which, indeed, was one time experienced by the guinea's passing for 27 or 28 shillings, evidently showing a depreciation to the amount of that difference. The great object therefore would be to bottom that paper on the precious metals, which should effectually prevent all pos sible depreciation, and render it always equal to bullion in every European market. My proposal would be as follows :—let every individual pos sessing paper to the amount of 1000 ounces of gold at 31. 7s. 101 per ounce, and wishing to con vert it into that precious metal, have it in his power to send one quarter of that amount to the Bank, with a notice, that in one month from that time the remaining three quarters should be also 'sent, and ingots demanded for the whole, which should be produced at the end of that period by the Bank. This would effectually prevent any run upon that establishment, and when every possessor of paper saw that he might, with very little trouble, convert that paper into bullion, I am perfectly persuaded that little, if any, would be called for; but all parties rest satisfied with a perfect conviction that they might have gold so demanded, and never trouble themselves to procure the exchange in question. The necessity of the month's notice, as well as of the placing 25 per cent. of the amount in the Bank, is suffi ciently obvious ; the one, to prevent any imme diate inconvenient run on that Body ; the other, to insure the serious purposes of those who ex pressed a wish for the exchange ; otherwise it would be open for every one so seriously inten tioned or not, to give the notice merely for the purpose of teazing, and so far distressing that great establishment to provide for payments never in serious contemplation. Thus bottomed on gold, no depreciation could ever take place; your bank-note would be worth as much in France, or Germany, or Italy, as in London ; nor could any traveller take with him a more convenient viaticum than notes thus issued from the Bank. I am fully persuaded that, so far from requiring millions in deposit, to answer every call that might be made on it, the Bank, with two or three millions, might rest as safely as with ten times the amount in its treasurys without the smallest apprehension as to results of any description. It might then increase it ; circulation to any amount, subject to the annual controul of Parliament, which might always re gulate its issues conformably to the state of things at the time ; when too great, they might be checked ; when too small, increased, just 50 as to give a free circulation of all the comnlo' dities of the kingdom, and increase that currenci which is now infinitely too inconsiderable for general purposes, and has given rise to that depreciation, and all those dreadful distresses , to which the kingdom is at this moment sub' jected. These ideas, though from a very humbl e individual, may not be wholly unworthy of at tendon, and I most heartily wish that they 11 19 1 appear so to our Rulers, to which they certainly stand entitled, in the opinion, at least, of hearty well-wisher of the whole community, and Sir, your constant Reader, and very humble Servant, J•S• COURSE OF EXCHANGE, Ju1y.9.3.
