TILE LONDON JOURNALS. TRACTS FROM .THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS November 2, 1822. [Tli E Tim - .s.] An express arrived yesterday morning from Madrid, which left that capital at midnight on the 25th ult. We learn by letters of that day that the sum to be raised in loans has been de clared by the Government to be 40,000,000 reals de rente, answering to a capital of 800,000,000 of reals, equivalent, at the present price of Spa nish securities, to about 5,600,0001. sterling. Several agents appointed by capitalists in Lon don and Paris were in Madrid for the purpose of making proposals for supplying the Spanish Government with that sum, or different portions of it respectively. Madrid was in a state of perfect tranquillity. It had been determined by the Ministry to bring to immediate trial those Noblemen suspected of having favoured the insurrection of the Guards on the 7th of July. The discussions in the Cortes are very inte resting. Letters dated the 17th of September were received yesterday from Pernambuco.— Some distrust having arisen respecting the poli tical sentiments of the numbers of the Junta, who were supposed insincere in their declarations of attachment to the Prince Regent, a tumul tuous assemblage of the inhabitants took place on the 16th, with a demand for their removal, and the popular voice ultimately prevailed. A new election of the Members was fixed for the Sunday following at Olinda. Poderoso, the former Governor, recently returned from Lisbon, was appointed Military Governor. Tranquillity - was quite restored at the date of the advices. [BRITISH PRESS.] Bayonne Papers to the 16th last have arrived. An event has taken place near Estella, as barbarous as any that has disgraced the san guinary and ferocious conduct of the Turks.— A small garrison of the constitutional army hav ing been surprised, were, after a gallant resist ance, compelled to capitulate, and were ordered to be conducted to the mountains ; but they were attacked on the way by the Royalists, and several of them, including their Commander, were mur dered. A few effected their escape to Pampe luna. Up to the 14th, no, battle had taken place between the respective armies under Mina and D'Eroles. These two Generals were actively employed in manoeuvring and disposing their forces. The Army of the Faith appears to be gaining strength. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] According to the intelligence from Madrid, the political relations of Spain, not only with the United States, but with some of the European Powers, nre on the best possible footing. Portu gal, there can be no doubt, is one of these Euro pean Powers, but which are the others ? France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia ? This we should hardly think, but one Power, at all events, is now confidently pointed out, a Power, too, of which' the friendship is of more importance to Spain than the enmity of any or all of the others. What .makes this the more credible is, the con sideration that it never can be the interest of England to see Spain converted into a field of desolation to humour three or four Despots, who, not content with the degradation of theilb own abject serfs, wish to reduce the people every where to the same condition. They owe chiefly to the means furnished by England in the hour of their need their present ascendancy, but it is time they should be taught to feel that England did not raise them in order to depress herself.= It would have been better for us if our Ministers bad ere now been impressed with the importance of this truth ; it will be something, however, towards an atonement for former impolicy if these Ministers now show themselves sensible of former errors. MORNING POST :71 Much alarm was excited on Tuesday night, in the Castle of -the Tuileries, by a load explosion which took place about twelve o'clock, beneath the windows of the middle pavilion. The guard immediately rushed out and found that it pro ceeded from the musket of a (sentinel, which had gone off accidentally. The ball entered the ceiling of one of the rooms in the Palace without doing any other damage, and the soldier escaped unhurt. Such is the account published by the Journal des DAals : had it been given by the Quolidienne, some attempt would probably have been made to connect this accident with some new plot against the lives of the Royal Family. This Journal indeed contains a statement, which, if correct, shows that dag gers are really used in some parts of France, but for the attainment of private revenge,' not the committing of Regicide. It announces, on 'the authority of letters from Saumar,- ," that in the night between the 26th and 27th of October, Lieutenant Wolfe!, who arrested General Berton, was stabbed as he was returning home after having gone his rounds. As he had a great coat over his coat, the violence of the blow was diminished, and the "dagger pe netrated only a few lines into his breast. The wound, though inflicted'on the side of the heart, was not considered mortal. Lieut. Wolfel im mediately received all the assistance required, and active search was madt.* after the assassins, who, there are many reasons to suppose, are connected with the infernal sect 'of the -Car bonari." ---umasam— [MORNIG HEam.n.l In the French Papers it is not unworthy of observation, that the _ Ultra Royal party has thrown off all disguise, and attacked the con duct of the Government of this country. The attack is in a Journal called The Quotidiennc, and is equally splenetic and disingenuous. This party is incorrigible. It is unteachable by expe rience and adversity. Its pretensions are in capable of being satisfied, after all that Europe, and England in particular, has done for it. These men have been the victim of a revolu tion, which owed much of its ferocity, to being stirred up, like caged wild beasts, by foreign bayonets; and now they woald have the same SHOCKING MURDER.-The daughter of the late Swedish Field Marshal ADLEILCREUTZ has been murdered by her female attendant, a woman 69 years old, at the seat of her mother, near Stockholm. The unhappy mother had gone to pay a visit to her Royal Highness the Princess, at Tullgarn. The attendant, who slept in the same room with the young lady, seized the child by the hair in the night, and cut her throat.— This had scarcely passed when the governess en tered the chamber, on which the murderess gave herself several stabs in the neck, none of which were mortal. The motives for her horrid deed have not been discovered. FOR TILE SUN. DEFENCE OF BISHOP BURNET AND THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER. (Continued from THE Str.l4r of October 22.) These advocates of the Church, and many of its illustrious members, are most unjustly ac cused of the Socinian creed, which is composed of those articles only that are level to the un derstanding. From this arrogant and presump tuous doctrine they as widely differ as from the romantic and chivalrous faith, that boasts to be lieve in a proposition because it is impossible.— 'We neither enter into the conceit of the one, who would fall down before the Majesty of Rea son, nor into the extravagant zeal, without know ledge of the other—when religion consists in our continued sacrifice of reason at the altar of reve lation. We believe, when God condescends to reveal himself to us, that he has a right to some condescension in return, a temper of docility, and a just deference to his authority—as authority only. The same nature which bids us believe in Him, and trust to Him, with full confidence in a revelation of his will, teaches us to look for many things contained in it hard to be under stood, and the more there are of such doctrines the more easily to believe that,they came from Him, who is described as residing in clouds and darkness, his pavilion round about him. They are the spots in the sun that the more loudly proclaim his presence—but then they are not to cover the whole disk of the sun itself—the light of the firmament is not to be put out, for which he from the beginning sent forth his mandate— let there be light, and it sprang from the .bosom of life to enlighten all that dwell upon the earth. The same spirit that now pours forth its blessed influence in our hearts moved at the first creation upon the face of the waters, and does not in this new creation descend upon us to mutilate or destroy its own handy work. The Son of God, by whom we were made, and by whose Spirit we are born again, himself declares, that he came not to destroy but to fulfil the law—that law which he, from the first, had written in the heart, but which being defaced, he came to cor rect the impression, and to establish the autho rity of reason, as when man was made in the image of God supreme. If they have been with justice accused of being bewildered in the mazes of metaphysics in Na tural Religion, and instigated by the affec tation of pre-eminent knowledge, who have fallen down and worshipped Reason as their only , God, or at least would at once reject any revela tion from heaven as authentic, that did not come within the sphere of its comprehension ; surely, they may be said to be equally bewildered in the mazes of a fanatical zeal, and instigated by a spirit which could never come from heaven, who would make ignorance the mother of devotion, and believe that the further they recede from the light of Nature, the nearer they approach to the sanctuary, of truth. And yet so fond have some been of mystery, and scrupulously attached as it were to what surpasses comprehension, in order to suit, perhaps, an ignorant convert, who are said to be the more delighted and even edified, the less they understand, that when objections have been taken against their doctrine, which makes a mystery where no mystery is, and a na tural explanation has been offered to prove their was nothing at all mysterious, nothing but what might fairly be reconciled by the powers of rea son only, they have been known to answer, that it cannot be the truth, because, if it is, " God ceases to be incomprehensible," as he is repre sented in revelation, with the clouds and dark ness round about him. That considering that in all the truth more immediately necessary for salvation, He himself declares, that he has con descended to the infirmity of man, who may very well understand what is his duty to do and to believe, and can penetrate far enough, even here through the clouds and darkness that surround his throne, by the help of his spirit to discern righteousness and judgment the habitation of his seat. There is one part, however, even of the sermon which I had not intended to touch, as it has been already so fully answered in the Letter to which I Lave alluded above, but as it runs so much in the declamatory stile of the fraternity, who under the mask of friendship to the church, would direct the whole of its hostility to the atheist and infi del. I cannot refrain from a' few remarks upon the lame and impotent conclusion. " We are often told, that our Established Church is in danger, I love our Church too well to hear this complaint unmoved; and it is my firm con viction she can never fall but by her own hand ; he who established her will still continue to sustain her, while she is answering the purpose of her establishment. It is by intestine divisions among ourselves, and by branding as enthusiasts those who promote holiness by preaching the doc trines of grace ; by esteeming laborious Mini. sters as righteous overmuch ; by forsaking the plain letter of our articles as doctrines of grace, and by a lax, indifferent, and perfunctory ministra tion of our high charge, as the clergy of the church, that the affections of the people can be alienated from her, or her invaluable blessings be endan gered. This is not a day when the church can afford to diminish her influence by any coolness of her ministers among themselves; it is a day of rebuke and blasphemy, of infidelity and profane ness, and demands our utmost energy, collective as individuals, to repress the incursions of evil. — Now this is all that ever has been, or I suppose ever can be said or seen, to charm away the forces which are pointed again Calvinism, to the haunts of Atheism, and to direct the eccle siastic- cannon, which is aiming at the heretic, against the sceptic only, and the infidel. But we are still of opinion that the church artillery can not be better pointed than where it is, and that our defence should be where our greatest danger is, from some of our own household, or those who would, by a pretence of simplicity and affection for the church, gladly creep into its bosom, and when once there, would sting her to the heart. We, are as firmly convinced as the Calvinists can be, that if the church ever fall, it will be by her own hand, by Sectarians who, in disguise, have been able to insinuate themselves into the- ministry, and not by Socinians, or other infidels ; whose 'arrows, on the contrary, may pass unheeded by, r like a bird in the air, which leaves not a track behind. ' For what is the doctrine of the Soci nian ? Perhaps the most dangerous of all the in fidels, and if we are to believe their own annals, the most far-spreading in this country. He hears so many what are called Evangelical Preachers, excommunicating reason from any part or office in religion, as if the faculty which distinguishes them from the brute creation were to disqualify them for their duty to God who conferred the great distinction upon them, and the faculty of think ing itself were an injury to religious sentiment, — to attempt to reason, a profanation of the sanc tuary. He is therefore alarmed at the unnatural tenet, and disgusted with the superstition of the bigotry and hostility to common sense and rea son, he hastens to the other extreme, to erect its throne on the ruins of revelation, and proclaims this self-conceited axiom that men should be called upon to believe what they cannot under. stand, or that whatever is above reason must be contrary to reason ; this is the head and front of his offending ; and as far as he succeeds would tend to destroy all but natural religion within us, but what is that to the destruction and havoc of the other, who, not to mention that they have been the cause, however innocent, of this in 'fidelity, fond of raising every thing natural or supernatural into a mystery, casting such a cloud over revelation as to mystify some of its plainest and most useful doctrines, and weakening all their salutary impressions in favour of morality, which Socinians by the light of nature only can make upon the heart. While he allows chiefly of the law that is written therein, or of those doctrines only which are conformable to it, and will not stir a step in revelation which advances him above his reason, he is less liable to the va garies of imagination, at least to immorality and fanaticism, than they who falling in with the sympathies of the people are for ever preaching to them upon mysteries, like the Papist Friars of old, whom in other respects they resemble, and whose favourite maxim was," Where reason ends, religion begins." Surely such as these are far more likely to be popular, who publish doctrines which must fascinate the people with an air of mystery, and more especially the interesting doc trine of personal election when the convert is swoln with the vastity of his own important figure in the sight of Heaven, and the greater sinner he is, the more enraptured he must be in the very thought of such election, independent of all his bad principles indeed in spite of them. I am aware, when these preachers descend from the pulpit, and can be persuaded to reason with men upon equal terms, they may be as ready to deny all the consequences which the vulgar are so apt to deduce from a doctrine both in its let ter and its spirit, so directly favourable to their natural idleness, the root of all evil, and even to their natural depravity. However, then, he may be able to argue with himself in his ,chamber, and cast the imputation of these consequences from his own doctrine upon the bad passions of mankind, which are not to be overcome by any power, and however he may attempt to soften' ' the tone of his preaching in his private conversa tions, the fact is most glaring, that there are many of his congregation who merely by listen ing to his discourses with the most undivided at tention, and with all simplicity of heart, are still flattering themselves, that they are now on the highest pinnacle of the temple, where Satan placed our blessed Lord and draw him into the same snare, and are tempted to imagine- that they are indeed the children of God, inaccess able to the snares of the Tempter, even while he is succeeding in their hearts, and by inspiring them with the confidence infallible of their own salvation, as elect of God from all eternity, cast ing them down the steeper and more dreary pre cipice into surer perdition. So sensible have some been even of them who are the most zeal ous advocates for election of its dangerous consequences to the ignorant vulgar, that they have scrupled to deliver it at all from the pulpit, or with great qualification and reserve, and with a careful and strict admonition not to trouble their thoughts about the secrets which belong into the Lord their God. And it is a pity the zealous advocates of the same doctrine in the present day, do not imitate in this as they are so ready to admire in every other instance, their illustrious example; but what then would be come of Diana of Ephesus, or in what would the numerous votaries at the shrine of the tabernacle, be distinguished from the humbler and more temperate worshippers in our own temples. Hence, the exclamation of the fanatical preacher—. they who listen to my voice may soon leave off their weak food—the sincere milk with which babes only are fed, and almost instantaneously enjoy the strong meat of the most highly spiri tual flavour, and my people wish to have it so— and true it is, the common people whom they harangue are too apt to be weary of mere sin cerity, which, therefore, is not much served up to them by their pastors ; but rather by abstruse and more complicated doctrines of the total occu pation of man by nature—his restoration without any effort of his own by grace—the ohedience and intercession of the same, instead of his own obedience and his instantaneous regeneration by an influence of the holy spirit which he can feel in himself, distinct from the voice of his own nature—and as distinctly pronouncing him to be one of the elect. These are the strong doctrines that have a constant relish with the multitude, who never seem to feel a surfeit, and who are amply supplied by a never-failing fund of words at least, with which they keep ringing the changes upon Faith and grace, and justification and sanctification and salvation most infalliably assured to them by an indefeasible right and title, without measure and without end, till the poor in fatuated people are ready to fall down in extacy and admiration of the delightful expounder, and as he descends from the pulpit to kiss, in their rap tures, the very hem of his garment, and so these men have their reward ; and because their suc cess is so triumphant, elated with prosperity, they look down upon the sober and moderate Preacher—nor own him as Evangelical that is not constantly harping upon the same doctrinal note, but ventures, as he has authority from the Gospel ; to intermix the principles of morality'. • • . I s n ot ' with the doctrines 'of religion, and pretenao to be ever soaring with flight sublime to neave_e! but while he enjoys the light from a bove, T o members that he has to teach his followers do , walk upon the earth, where they have mail and ties to perform and many lessons to lear n t' , ° •..6r where they must be ever tottering and stumohue7. in the way immediately before them, 1 t an j thoughts are everlastingly directed uPwa r " e if so fail at last in these duties which are so cies itt pointed out to every one, by, the very station ' which his God has placed him. 't W s. We may learn from that and that only, I to would please him, the duties which we °we nd ourselves and those around us : the fdai° a nd sober teacher therefore is more inclined to ins°, to us in those different relations, so far as they tet!alic, make us useful toward men, and pleasing an ti e a ceptable to God, as they are clearly deliveron and enforced in his Gospel—than to dwell " the abstruse doctrines which never can enter in!°. an heads of the people, and can have no other 004 an immoral influence as weak and as the modern Sa int o ° , 4e inculcate them upon , their hearts. By so going beyond the m suscepti,u_i oderat t s which the Christian is desired to observe in el things, not excepting r e li g ion itself, they - fat become so intemperate in their Tea' . fet , righteousness—as to be called c. righteous C",to much." Resolved to devote their days and Ot to to the service of religion, they are fe° ll te ll faulter in that service which is more imm eth thel required of them from the station which t. 0 hold ; the just performanc e o f which, a s b e they are able, would tend to impart mere %0 to their religion than all their closest me it°tl o D• upon it—and their most painf u l and diligent sect servances.

PALACE COURT. MADAME PALLIS V. SCUDAMORE, ESQ. Mr. Tit ESSIGER stated, that this was an action brought by the plaintiff, Madame Gargett Flora Hyacinte Pallix, a lady possessed of great musical talents to recover the sum of six guineas, being the charge of her performance on the harp at a concert given by the defendant at his house in Wimpole-street, on the 2d of May last. The Learned Counsel said, that Dr. Scudamore having a wish for the talents of his clients that even ing, sent for her and her harp; she accordingly went there about ten o'clock; she was then put with the other performers, and in the course of the evening played two tunes. Madame Pallix, the mother of the plaintiff, proved the latter being at Dr. Scudamore's, and playing twice upon her harp.— Plaintiff had performed before at the Opera, at Madame Ca talani's benefits, and other places ; she received six guineas at Madame Catalani's benefit; and eight guineas for one evening's performance at Lady Lonsdale's. Plaintiff generally trusted to the generosity of the parties. Win. Keegan, Esq., considered plaintiff a first-rate per former, and thought eight guineas . would not be too much to pay her for the evening. Mr. MANGLES, for the defendant, stated, that in March last Madame Pallix came from Paris, for the purpose of exhibiting her talents as a first-rate performer ; it was necessary for her to he introduced by some one into that company where she would be able to display those talents which she appeared to be pos sessed of; on her arriving in this country, she waited on Mr. Bingham Richards with a letter of introduction, and he, on her behalf, waited on those of his friends who were in tile habit of giving large parties. •On ascertaining that his friend Dr. Scudamore, would have a large party on the 2d of May, he wrote to him, expecting that the plaintiff would be benefited by being there, there being no idea that there would be any charge made. Bingham Richards, Esq., a merchant, deposed that plaintiff was introduced to him by letter on her return from France, and her request was' to be introduced to the best company ; she frequently said she would not require any remuneration from his friends. Witness asked her what she would.re quire for her performances, and she in answer said, " She should certainly not require any thing as yet ; her principal object was to be itroduced and become known." He-first wrote a letter to the Countess of St. Antonio for her; lain tiff had played at his house, but he certainly'never pail her for it ; previous to her going 'to the defendant. witness called on her, and nothing else passed, but that he had ob tained the entree for her, and for she seemed highly de lighted ; there were at the time no terms mentioned, but they were in general implied terms, that she should go any wher e f or him or his friends, and he told Dr. Scudamore that Madame Pallix would come gratuitously. Mr. THESSIGER replied. The Learned Judge, Mr. MORRICE, summed up the evi dence, when The .Jury, after retiring for about half an hour, returned their verdict for the defendant. ... The trial occupied several hours. POLICE INTELLIGENCE., MANsrox-HousE.—Yesterday Wm. Thompson dressed in a very fashionable manner, was put to the bar on the charge of having picked the pocket of Mr. Vanhoven, a merchant, on the Royal Exchange. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Drach, _a merchant, that at a time when the Change was greatly crowded, he saw the prisoner, who was in company with another young man, put his hand into the pocket of Mr. Vanhoven, and pull out a handker chief. From the prisoner's manner it was evident that he ex pected a higher prize. Witness seized the prisoner's hand with the handkerchief in it, and gave him up to the police. The pri soner had been seen on 'Change before. Several merchants who were present at the Mansion House during the examination stated that some pickpockets had recently visited 'Change, and made some daring attempts on several" of their body. One merchant had nearly Sustained a severe losS.; his pocket, which contained 6,0001, having been completely cut through a day or two ago on open Change. Another merchant was robbed of 40/. on Wednesday. There would be tick : walking on Change in safety with the immense sums in money and securities which merchants often carried about them, unless an example were made of every fellow who was found lurking.about for the pur pose of committing robberies in such a place.—The prisoner was fully committed for trial. _fully VICTUALLERS.— Five Victuallers were yesterday severally convicted in the mitigated penalties, one of ten shillings, two of twenty shillings, and two of 405., and costs, for keeping their houses open after 11 o'clock at night. In the case of one of them, the officers stated they were obstructed by the landlord, and that since that night they were offered 41. not to bring the case before the Magistrates. It appeared, however, that the landlord did not intentionally obstruct them, and that a Gentleman of his own accord offered a bribe to the, officers, thinking it better that he and his friends should not appear at this office, but the officers declined any compromise on the occasion.
