TiIN LONDON JOURNALS. - : KO DA! I,i MORNING l'Al'Ertl: September 21, 1822. ['plc TIMES.] For how long a time has the Spanish Peninsula been the object of political curiosity ! and when will that curiosity cease ? The French made their first irruption in the spring of 1808. Years of war and bloodshed followed. The Spaniards, however, ultimately succeeded in expelling the invadeys of their sell. In their SUCCOS they were greatly aided by the British arms ; the feelings of the English people in that case directing or invigorating the policy of 'their Government. Still, at the general peace, the public attention of Europe was, from causes which it is unneces sary to enumerate, directed no less eagerly to Spain : and perhaps •the interest excited by the concerns of that country was never more warmly felt than at present. All Eu rope acknowledges their importance, and it seems to be admitted on all sides that they will form an important subject of deliberation at the ensuing Congress. That the affairs of Spain should be thought about by the Allied Sove reigns of Europe, we presume Spain herself can tint feel to be objectionable. It is recommended that " Princes should ponder, and thereby learn wisdom :" but we suspect little wisdom will have been learned, if the result of the deliberations of the Allied Sovereigns be to commence a practical, or, in other words, a military, interference in the affairs of Spain. We shall discuss this subject more 'at large to-morrow ; only hinting mean while that our•remarks are not bestowed upon a mere theoretic question, but have something of fact for their basis. [IIIOII7IING CHRONICLE.] Lord Harrowby has signified to his Majesty his desire to resign the Presidency of the Council. 11l health is stated by the Noble Lord as his motive for wishing to retire from public life. Lord Liverpool, at the request of the friends of Mr. Charles Wynn, is exerting all his influ ence (in the event of this Gentleman's being re filsed the Government of India) with Mr. Man ners Sutton, to induce him to resign the Chair of the house of Commons, and accept of India in its stead. Should the latter Gentleman consent to this arrangement, hopes are entertained that all matters may be satisfactorily adjusted. The Court of ' . Directors, it is supposed, from the con ciliatory and business-like character of Mr. Ma nners Sutton, would at all events have fewer ob jections to his appointment than to that of Mr. Wynn, notwithstanding . the Indian experience of the latter ; and with respect to. the other Body, Ministers may be disposed to feel little appre hension.— (Ibid.) [MORNING POST.] We received last night, by express, French Papers to the 25th instant. Their contents with respect to the late events in Greece are still more gratifying than the last, for the accounts which they, give'come down to a later date, and not only confirm the advantages reported to have been gained by the Greeks, but announce others of equal importance. Neither can it be said that these statements are mere echoes of the Florence intelligence; for they proceed from a different, source, Venice, and are published by a Journal,l .Le Drapeau Blanc, which has hitherto distin-1 guished itself, like the rest of Ultra Prints in France and other countries, by its hostility to the Greek cause. They are, therefore, neither fresh repetitions of an ,already twice-told tale, nor reports to which partiality has imparted its own colouring, but may be read with confi deuce and exultation by all friends to justice, religion, and humanity, as having passed the se vere ordeal of Ultra incredulity, and having only }Keen published because their correctness could neither be denied nor long concealed. The total failure of the combined and desperate attack made by 'the Turks, through the assistance of the Austrians, on the l\iorea, is no limger doubt ful. It is equally clear that they now feel the recoil of their vain attempt, and that it has placed them in a situation of considerable difficulty and danger. - Driven out of the' Morea, and compelled to evacuate Corinth and its Cita del, which the Greeks had rendered unten able, when they .left it, by removing all the artillery from the ramparts, the wrecks of their army, after repassing the IStbMus, find themselves between two fires. For the main Grecian corps which carried on offensive operations in Livadii and Thessaly, at the time when Austrian ships conveyed the Turks to the Morea, are still acting in those countries, and cut off the possi bility of further retreat, whilst the victorious Moreans, after re-occupying Corinth and its citadel, are advancing in front across the Isthmus. iMORNING , The ialeat employment of time and thought is arguing without data. Such is the predicanient Of those who start into eager disputation upon the recent accounts relative to the Turks and Greeks. These narratives, vague and unauthen ticated as they are, can serve only to excite doubts, ' and perhaps strengthen grounds for hoping that the Greek cause may be still afloat. But for any thing like convincing inference there is no foundation. Even were the Greeks to have gone on in a steady career of success, from the de struction of the Turkish fleet to the period when their . affairs will probably be submitted to the ap , proaohing Congress, it would still scarcely be possible that they could compass within that p•?riod a total emancipation from the Turkish yoke. Supposing that the aspect of their affairs were such as to afford a promise of ultimate triumph, still, it is pretty certain that those rowers, which have an interest in checking the ambition and defeating the intrigues of Russia, would not leave the latter such an arena as a Turco-Grecian war to play a game of force or artifice for the attainment of her designs. The establishment, them, of a Greek Empire, could not be reasonably contemplated as the result of the present war. That war cannot be protrarV for many months more ;,.ancl within that period the Greeks could not make the conquest of a state' of independence, even de facto. But even should their cause lose ground before their condition becomes matter of arrangement in the Congress, there are two motives, from which those Powers which may be considered hostile to the pretension of Russia, should labour to procure the best terms of pacifi cation and security for the Greeks—policy and humanity. The latter motive is obvious—and supposing, for a moment, that the Greeks were left exposed to the vengeance and fury of their barbarian rulers, would not this be the very surest means of leaving Russia a pretext for interference and intrigue ? [BRITISH PRESS.] The interval since the appointment of Mr Canning to the office of Secretary • of State for Foreign Affairs, has proved a perfect chasm in political speculation. Lord William Bentinck, and several others, have been mentioned as can didates for the Government of India : but of do mestic politics or parties nothing has transpired. The present season of the year, when the princi pal actors on the political stage are dispersed in search of recreation on the Continent, or adjust ing their fretted plumage in rural retirement at home, is not the precise moment which might he expected to prove fruitful of political intrigue; but the very ceremony of filling up that which was lately the most important place in the Ca binet, might be expected to produce some little noise and bustle—some little boasting among fol lowers of the new plans and extraordinary ex ertions for the good of the country, to console it for what it has lost, and raise its drooping spirits with promises pf the future. Nothing of the kind has attended the accession of Mr. Canning to office. He has taken posses son of his house in Downing-street with as little ectat as any one of his porters, and all we are told of him is, that he has had a bed fitted up for him—we suppose 6 ‘ a bed of roses"—on which he is to repose on nights of heavy debate in the ensuing Session of Parliament, his residence at Gloucester Lodge being at a rather inconve nient distance. But it may be asked, what sort of political speculation might we expect to hear consequent upon the appointment of the new Secretary for Foreign Affairs ? We answer, the cause of Greece. f any one subject could be conceived more likely than another to interest the feelings of Mr. Canning, it is the. cause of this oppressed people. But we have re marked in the Ministerial Press a more de cided opposition to their cause than that which distinguished it in the time of his predecessor. — According to the Treasury Journals, it would be extreme weakness—a partiality totally un worthy of a Statesman—to feel any interest for the Greeks, or to be influenced in his conduct towards them by a childish regard for the me mory of their ancestors, or their relation to us as Christians persecuted by Infidels. CITY, THURSDAY ETENING. Mails have arrived this morning from Hamburgh and France, which bring no news either of political or commercial import.' ance. From St. Petersburgh the letters are dated on the 7th of September. Trade was exceedingly bad there, even in those articles whereof the importation was legal. In Tallow, nothing was doing, and the nominal price was 93 rubles. The Ex change began at 10 1-32 d. on London, and closed at 10d. The subjects.a his Imperial Majesty arc suffering much from his legitimate interference in their private economy.—The French mails brings no letters from Turkey or Greece, and the general anxiety for the fate of the latter country is consequently much increased by the want of correct intelligence. A great deal of bustle was created this morning in the Bri tish funds by the conflicting interests of the Bulls and Bears. The latter in the morning sold largely, but their operations were countervailed by the more extensive purchases of the for mer. Consols for the Account opened at 81H, and closed no minally at the same price, though the turn of the market favoured an advance. The Gentlemen of the Jewish persuasion returned to the Royal Exchange this morning with renewed spirits and in creased nerves. T... 0 expresses arrived in the course of the slay froiir Paris, which bring an advance in the value of every de . scription of national securities there on Tuesday last. The Renter. were 92i, and Neapolitan Bonds 77, which being the Same as.the London value, renders them a profitable remittance from London to the Continent at the present rate of the ex change. By these expresses letters are said to have been re ceived from Madrid, dated on the 17th current. Their con tents have not been made public, but they are understood to be favourable to the Constitutional Government of Spain. Great exertions were making to put down the vagabonds who had assumed the name of Faithful; and by the Gib raltar Chronicle, of the 2d of September, information has .also been • received that many vessels had been chartered there to proceed to Algesiras, and to convey troops from that place to Tarragona. The banditti of Catalonia must therefore soon submitsto the wishes of the peaceably disposed, and the result of the present attempt to restore the Inquisition and ty ii ranny must be the confirmation' of the libertieS of the people.— ' For the end of October the Spanish Old Bonds have been sold here at7l4, and the appearance, generally, of the market this day, favours the operations of those speculating on advanced prices. As yet, it is uncertain whether the new Spanish Loan .of about 11 millions, and for which the applications are said to exceed ten millions, will be made public till the dividends are paid on the 10th proximo. In the new Russian Loan 'a good deal of business was done early in the day, and considerable fluctuation took place in that of Chili, occasioned by the settle ment of some accounts, and by the large payment to be made on it on Saturday. The appearance of the foreign market is on the whole favourable, and confidence generally gains ground in the ultimate benefit which this vent for surplus capital will con fer on the productive classes in the British Empire. The English Funds are also improving in value, which is the certain effect of distressed agriculture and a decreasing . commerce. The value of Foreign Securities this day is as follows French * Five per Cent. Dividend from 22d Sept., 92 50 75. Spanish r Five per Cents. of 1820, Dividend ftom Ist May, 701. • Ditto Five per Cent.

In Mi cing-lane a good deal of business has been done for home consumption ; but the Foreign Sugar trade is extremely depressed. About 3000 hhds. of Sugar have been purchased by the grocers since Monday, and the prices have evidently im proved about Is. a cwt. Coffee is also a little more in demand, and the prices are a shade dearer. In Rum no transfer can be made. The present prices of Sugar, as well as Rum, are ruinous to. West India Proprietors, and it may soon be a subject of doubt whether to draw tie consumption.of Sugar and Spirits from wherever they could be procured cheapest, would not tend more to the common benefit than by giving a monopoly of the market to the.production of our own Colonies, whilst these Colonies arc notoriously reaping no benefit from .thiS hardship imposed. on- the consumers.--(Mortting Chronicle.) COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held for the dispatch of public bUsiness. It was not numerously attended. EXERTIONS OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. When the Report of the Bridge House Committee was brought up, Mr. FAVELL stated, that the Finance Committee were making the most active efforts for relieving the City from its embarrass ments, which were great, but still likely to be much and speedily eased by the measures - proposed by the Committee. It was with great pleasure he informed the Court, that 15,0001. of the Bridge House debt had been discharged, at 41 per cent. ; and that the state of that debt might be looked upon as prosperous. The principal causes of the debt, which amounted to about 100,0001., were to be traced to the expences arising from the arrangements in Guildhall, for the accommodation of the va rious persons connected with the several departments—the Courts of Justice—the COurts of Aldermen, Common Council, &c. &c. For the discharge of that debt it was deemed essen tial by the Committee, that a Sinking Fund should be esta blished, and in order that the funds of the City should be dis engaged as much as possible, from unnecessary expences, they intended to propose that no expellee whatever should be in curred without a reference to the Finance Committee. To spew that there existed a necessity for the adoption of such a plan, it was but necessary to refer to three distinct items amounting to 70,0001., which came unexpectedly upon the funds ; and proved that some authority with high powers should be consulted be tire any attcmut was made to apply money for which the Court ' were answerable to the public. If the intentions of the Com mittee with respect to the establishment of a permanent fund were put into effect, they would be able to look the public in the face, and the highest praise would be due to their exertions. A MEMBER intimated (as we understood him) that the 15,009/. might have' been discharged at 4 per cent., and that such an offer should have been accepted at a period of such em barrassment. Mr. FAVELL declared that the Committee had done every thing in their power to accomplish the objeqof getting the most eligible terms. They had preferred the terms he had just alluded to because the security was undeniable—a quality that might not belong to the terms which had been described as preferable. The Report of the Committee was then received. PUBLICATION OF THE SESSIONS PAPER. The Report of the Gaol Committee having been brought up, Mr. FAVELL said he had a few words to say upon the sub ject of continuing the publication of the Sessions Paper. The continuance of - that 'publication he considered indispensably ne cessary to the prisoner, the government, and those who were connected with the administration of justice. It contained all that could be important to the cases tried, and omitted the gos sip in which the Gentlemen of the Bar were so much accus tomed to indulge, and which certainly it was far from being necessary to print. Thus such a report of the cases of those who were condemned could be made to his Majesty as might be depended upon for its fidelity,. and justice would be done with Certainty as far as,human institutions were certain. The Secretary of State was,' it was understood, well satisfied with the manner in which the thing was conducted, and every credit was to be given to the Short-hand writer who was engaged in the task. - Alderman WArrrimAx said, that he had made a particu lar point of looking over the trials in the Sessions' book, and as far as he, was. able to judge, he considered them fairly reported. It was true they did not .give the observations or speeches of Counsel, hut they contained the essence of each trial, and were of the utmost importance to the prisoners. The Secretary of State was furnished with them, and the friends of the prisoners and others who were interested might have them to use in aid of any facts which might come out after the cases were cooclutied. The necessity for having such an au thority to appeal to was palpable. In criminal cases the pri soner was differently situated from the defendant in civil. There could he no second trial, and the only satisfaction he could have in the event of the .proof of his innocence was a pardon. As the privileges were so few, it was highly important that a publica tion, containing an account of evidence, should be within reach, that all _might have an opportunity , of re-investigating the cases. However unnecessary the continuance of such a publi cation might.appear to some, it was absolutely expedient to the ends of justice. Mr. DORNFORD highly approved of the practice. Mr. TAYLOR considered it necessary not only to the pri soners, but to those who sought to be acquainted with the cri minal law. Alderman WArriimAN said, that he had one strong . fact to state. It was from looking to the publication in question, he found, that a witness, who was examined before him, at Guild-. hall, swore diametrically opposite at the Old Bailey, to what he hail sworn before the committal of the prisoner, at Guild- , hall. The person Who , gave this conflicting evidence was an of ficer cf Westminster. He (Alderman Waithinan) represented. the circumstance, and the officer was dismissed. - His recollec tion supplied him with The fact to which the officer had sworn at Guildhall—that the prisoner had the chain of a watch in his hand, having just stolen it on Ludgate-hill, and at the Old „Bailey the same officer swore that he saw no chain at all. The. impression generally and naturally neared was, that the Offi cer was paid for suppressing what he knew. The Report was then agreed to. • Mr. WELsti gave notice that he should on an early day sub mit a motion to the Court for a grant of Assistance to the Ploat ing Hospital for Seamen. The subject had been upon the paper. for a year and a half, and nothing had been yet done. The Court then adjourned. BOULOGNE-SUR-MER, SEPT. 24.—The funeral of the unfortunate Madame de Viz took place here on Sunday last, at seven o'clock in' the morning. Her remains were attended solely by her relatives, the physician, and clergyman, al though every Engl7sh and Irish resident here was desirous to be permitted to join in the melan choly procession. lam happy to say that Chris tian fortitude has carried her afflicted mother, 1 Mrs. CHARLES. LOCK, through her unparalleled affliction, and that she soon will be able to quit this scene of woe. The Comtesse has left be hind her three children, a lovely girl, a fine boy, and an infant scarcely five weeks old, which she was suckling when she met her untimely end.— A strange circumstance took place here last night. The Sovereign steam-boat, bound to Calais from Dover, was driven by the force of an adverse wind into this harbour at ten o'clock on Sunday night, and landed all her passengers, in number exceeding thirty, and the wind coming soon round to the south, she set off for Calais with the carriages .and luggage of her passengers, who next morning had to hire voitures for Calais to look after their goods and chattels. Mr. BALL HUGHES, with vis=a-vis, barouche, post-chaise, cabriolet, and eleven horses, arrived here, and has proceeded to Paris. Lord BRUDENELL and suite have also come by this post. DUEL.—About five o'clock on Thursday morn ing last a meeting took place near the turnpike, on the Cork road, a small distance west of Waterford, between, Mr. 13.kaaoN, of -William street, in that city, and Mr. CHARLES EYRE, a Lieutenant in the Ist Royals, quartered there ; the former attended by Dr. ALCOCK, the latter by an officer of his regiment. The parties dis charged two shots each ; in the second fire, Mr. BAnnoN's ball passed through the fleshy part of Lieut. EYRE'S right thigh, and lodged in his left, fracturing a part of the thigh bone ; but we are happy to learn the ball was extracted on the spot by Doctor ALcocK, the second of Mr. BARRON, and that the wound, though serious, was not considered of a very dangerous nature. On Mr. EYRE'S falling, Mr. BARRON left the ground without making any observation ; and after the ball had been extracted, Mr. EYRE was carried home to the barrack by a party of his regiment, on a litter. We understand that the duel originated in the discontinuance of some attentions on the part of Lieutenant EYRE to a Lady who is a cousin to Mr. BAR.RON.—(Clon mej Aipertiser.) ESSAY ON PARTY-WRITING. " Hu. Obi crunt Artes." Happy are the times (says an ancient Author) in which we may think what we please, and speak what we think. If so, we may justly boast that we live in an age in which political felicity bath been brought to its highest perfection. I know that some Critics consider the words above quoted as subject to certain restrictions of decency and decorum ; but, with submissiori, the design here, is not to propose a rule of prudence, but a test of liberty ; and I think it next to demonstration, that the virtue of this test must rise in proportion to the force of its exertion. When, therefore, our Party Writers vindicate wickedness, defame worth, assert falsehoods, or deny truths, we must not look on these things in a moral, but a politi cal light ; we are not to consider these Gentle men as void of all ideas of right and wrong, but as generous Patriots, who sacrifice every appear ance of virtue to the public happiness, and are contented to sit down with disgrace to themselves, that they may procure to their countrymen the fullest assurance of freedom. Having thus far established the Theory of the art under consideration, I shall endeavour to forward and encourage the Practice ; to this end, I shall throw together some general Rules, deduced from the nature of Polemic eloquence, and confirmed by the success of the greatest mas ters in the art. The method I propose to observe, is that of the celebrated JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU : I shall consider myself as the tutor, the public as my pupil ; and having previously supposed in my Emilius a reasonable provision of that Barbarie Angloise, which the said ROUSSEAU bath, with no less justice than politeness, attributed to the whole nation, I shall proceed without further preface to the explanation of my system. The first Rule, and that on which all others depend, is this—you must not consider Right and Wrong, Truth and Falsehood, as things really and essentially differing in themselves, but embrace or reject them merely as they favour or obstruct your principal object. I am sensible that you may be a little awkward at this at first, not from any scruples arising from your own feel ings, for I suppose you superior to such ; but from an apprehension of the disgrace which sometimes attends the detection of injustice, with regard to persons; or of falsehood with respect to things : but remember, that the great point in party writ ing is to gain time, and to serve the immediate purpose; if this be obtained, let the consequence shift for itself ; and take my word for it, that, should the worst happen, there will be more who will admire you for your address, than censure you for the imposition ; for it is the nature of men to be delighted with tricks and deceit, provided they are not themselves the principal sufferers. R. 2. • If accidentally a truth, in contest, should be on your side of the question, there are two ways of managing it : first, to insult your antagonist ; to glory and triumph in your supe riority. The second is more delicate ; for, as It is the nature of truth to evince itself, you may be contented with a fins and ingenious insi nuation of your advantage ; this will beget a good opinion of your caution and modesty, and will be of infinite service, when you come to, what will often happen, the necessiti.. of assert ing a falsehood. R. 3. lii this you must be bold, peremptory, and overbearing : if you hesitate in a lie, you are lost. Recollect, that on the ignorant, and it is with those you have mostly to do, impu dence ever passes for a mark of sincerity, and even with the wiser sort, confidence is every where met half-way, while modesty is received like a poor relation. It is not my way to give myself credit for things which do not belong to me ; I therefore acknowledge that I have borrowed the first hint of the maxims here advanced from Mr. Thomas HOBBES, of Malmesbury ; which I the better remember from the having been mightily taken with an uncommon beauty in the passage, name ly, that it is itself an example of the thing it would prove. " Impudence in Democratical As semblies, does almost all that is done ; 'tis the Goddess of Rhetorick, and carries proof with it : for what ordinary man will not from so great boldness of affirmation conclude, there is great probability in the thing affirmed ?" R. 4. Should a truth make strongly against your you must not directly contradict it ; but endeavour to explain away its nature : to this end you must give much into forced metaphors, or vague comparisons : every comparison, like circles from the fall of a pebble into water, still widening from its centre. But, should the po verty of your imagination confine you to the use of simple terms, take care that they be of a loose and uncertain signification ; let your words, like the feathers of a pigeon's neck, be of all colours, and therefore of no one. Arguments thus com posed, are of so exquisite a kind, that I think it proper to distinguish them by a particular name ; we may therefore call them Cangeantes, or Changeable, after those Italian silks which vary their shades with the different points of view. R. 5. With respect to inconsistencies, or con tradictions, though they cannot be supported by argument, they may be eluded by pleasantry : for instance, should you have advanced that America was conquered in Germany, and be pressed by the absurdity of the proposition, you may dryly put a question—ls not a man who loses the sight of one eye supposed to see better with the other ? This is miserable reasoning, I confess ; but though it cannot produce conviction, it may raise a laugh ; and your only way of es caping out of a foolish dilemma is by an imper tinent jest. Let those who can distinguish be tween the risible and the ridiculous call you to an account. I shall now proceed to give you some direc tions as to your conduct with respect to persons; and here I must observe to you, in general, that you must meddle as little as possible with pane gyric : Ist, because it is a topic unpleasing in it self,'as most men are hurt by the consequent re , fiections on their own littleness; 2dly, as the course of your ideas, from the rules just pro. posed, must run in a quite different channel, you can, therefore, have no dependence on those ten' der and delicate feelings, which alone can sYnr pathise with, or do justice to, virtue ; for this reason, you must turn the,full flow of your 50'45 to satire and defamation ; and exalt your f rienas by depressing their enemies. The use that may be made of personal . disadvantages is too obvious to be insisted on : a hint or two will suf fi ce-- thus, you may very well insinuate, that a m a n cannot have an upright heart, who has a stoop 1° his shoulders; or be well inclined to his country, if he turn in his toes. This is natural and simPl i e : But, the master-strokes consist in converting au vantages into disgraces, and in making those things indications of wickedness or weakness which Na ture seems to have intended for marks of distinc tion—thus, should the man whom you would dis: credit be comely in his person, and graceful 4 111 , 6 carriage, you may suggest, that he owes his ad vancement vancement to these qualities : hence, by an ea , * gradation,you have a right to suppose,that,tr as i entirely to 'these merits, he cannot be possessed ° any other *; to support this inference, and it O r ; tainly wants it, you must search into ancient and modern history for every example which alai be a case in point. And as your parallels map not always be strictly just, you must make tiP " number what they want in .quality. Is it not 3 first principle in Bills of Attainder, that a nu rry ber of maybes amount to a must-be ? Trust we , this, and more, will go down with the public; for you may extend to the whole, what the sage' of Malmsbury has a ffi rmed of a part of the G i l a of London, that it has a great belly, bi ll fis. palate. A r If you can in this manner transform gno - , ° o ill qualities into what shape you please, you h a re an unlimited power over things in their 13 3 " - I , indifferent. Thus, should the obnoxious Pe rs :c have been born in any one of the extremities the kingdom, in the North, for instance, r have nothing to do but to draw a line the fart" North the better, and then appeal to , y o ur cot . ; trymen, whether any man from one side of t o n line can properly have influence or authority 0 , the other : the partiality in this proceeding i 5 n iv o thing to the purpose, since you are sure o f b c a, supported by all those who can claim any vantage from their meridianalitg. I , v , the Thus far, 0, my Pupil, have I led you hand : you can now walk alone ; cuter bo-y, on your progress ; whilst I, your Rousslii, your Tutor, your Friend, trusting to the 10r 3 , 0 bility of my principles, observe in silent ple 3s ilio the firmness of your steps, and triumph in utility of my political studies.
