ONDON JOURNALS. IFITIIIaT3 PROM Ttkr., DAILY MORNISG PArras, Mug 30, 1322. • [BalTis PftESS.II 'The price of tea has risen in consequence of the • sospusiOrkkf the China trade. This may licoount for the extvuardinary importance attached tt.t the unfortunate of which it is the result. ArriwAK civilised nations an accidental rencontre, artended.with- the loss of two or three lives, wouki not threaten :ttie destruction of their friendly rel , ations.. -.lt would seem,. however, that_ in the case of violent death, the Chinese acknowledge WO distinction. The doctrines of ,manslaughter ; justifiable homicide, &c. all those niceties of the English law are unknown to ;',:*rl ; and every case of violent death by the hands of a : foreigner is to be treated and punish ed as wilful murder. This was the law lately dealt out to a poor American sailor. A pot was thrown overboard, by the unfortunate man, by which a Chinese woman was killed, and he expi ated the-offence with his life. The fate of this poor man is as much, to be pitied- as the officer who delivered him up a sacrifice. to his enemies is to he detested and despised. This dastardly con duct of the Americans, no doubt, encouraged the Chinese to expect a - like subserviency from the gallant Captain of the Topaze, but we _re find with very different success. It would have been ,a foul stain upon the British navy had Captain Richardson yielded to the bar barous demand. It may be said, that in our com merce with China all due deference should be hewn to the habits and prejudices.of the people. 'This may be a very good rule among Civilised na liens, but we cited a case yesterday from Anson's Voyages, to prove that England never showed this complaisance to the barbarous habits and prejudi ces of Chien. It was reserved for America to offer up this sacrifice to commercial lucre in abandon ing its unfortunate seaman to Chinese arrogance and prejudice. We regret, but are not surprised . at it. The Americans now drive a most success ful trade with China. It was through the Ame rican Papers we first received an account of the fracas with the Topaze ; and, we doubt not, commercial speculation has found it as useful there as it is felt in the London markets. It happens however, unfortunately for American rivalry, that our money and our manufactures ;Any be had direct from this country on more ad antageous terms than through the medium of .America, and. as those monies and manufactures - thus supplied to' China are much more valuable to It than its tea is to• us, there is no great reason to apprehend that the just and humane conduct of the gallant Captain of the Topaze has pro &t ed a permanent rupture between the two countries. [NEW TIMES.] Consols for the Account opened yesterday morning at 801, and in the course of the day rose to I. Towards the close of the market, the price declined to its old standard, in consequence of the new Loan which it is expected will shortly come into the market. This Loan, report says, is .for Two Millions and a Half Sterling, and it iti raised for the service of the Russian Government. Six.eminent Mercantile Houses in the City are flamed as the takers. The sum is not of sufficient magnitude to produce any very decided effect on '"the price of our Funds : nor can any inference be fairly raised from it as to the probability cf a war. [THE TIMES.] American papers to the 4th inst. are arrived. The first.article of importance which they con tain is a 'protest of the Spanish Ambassador to the United . States of America, on account of the President's Message to Congress, proposing the recognition "of the independence of the ; Spanish Colonies. 'The worthy Ambassador argues the cause of his country very well, and very uselessly. He reproaches the American 'Government with Ingratitude for kindnesses re ceived from the Court of Spain. All Republics are ungrateful, Machiavelli says. Some of the favours, however, received by America from SPErin, were favours which the latter could lriot convenietrtlY withhold : one of them, also, is thi; oblivion of injuries which Spain had not the 'Oliver to Intnish. The American Secretary of State replies 'very coolly, that more just views of the keient condition of the colonies will make tht - Ambassadpr change his tone. It is curious that nearly a month before these discussions took pace at. Washington, the Cortes at Madrid had, by What it calls a dittamen, determined to listen to the propositions of the trans-Atlantic Govern ments, as belonging to independent States, upon thesimple condition which humanity enjoins— that all the Spaniards residing in New Spain, whether born, there or in Europe, should hav free power to remove with their property. [MORNING HERALD.] • The question of peace or war is so deeply in teresting in its issue to all Europe, that it is im possibleto lose sight of it. At the same time, the "accounts are so vague, contradictory, and biassed by private interests, that it is scarcely possible to reach even a faint degree of proba bility in judging it. The accounts in the Ger man Papers are but too generally dictated by views of• private interests. The rumour of the day serves the purpose of him who fabricates at"circulates it, though it 'should be exposed the "day after ; and, from the controuned state of the German 'press, and the connection between Ministers and capitalists, particular parties have. - the gave wholly in their own hands The last accounts leave the main point still un elueidated,—viz: whether the Turkish Govern ment, in its Note of the 20th of April, has con sented to withdraw its troops immediately from the Provinces. This report hrst reached us from Vienna—a very doubtful source ; and it is ve hernentlyContradieted, but only in private letters, or other articles of no authority. Those who affect to believe that the Turkish Government iota lowered its -tone, impute it to the strong remonstrances of -the Ambassadors , of Eng /and and :Austria. But these Ambassadors be . fore in a state which must have drawn from them as decisive language. Yet it did not affect the conduct or tone of the Divan, even be fore the Divan had committed itself by the deci sive Note of the 28th February, which was issued under the solemn sanction of the Chiefs of the Turkish Empire, and was, morever, a strong ap peal to the fanaticism of the people. It appears to us that, considering the obstinacy characteris tic of the Turks, and trie formidable sanction of na tional opinion and popular prejudice under which they issued the Note of the 28th of February, nothing but the loss of a great battle, or even of a whole campaign, could be an adequate ground for a change of councils in the Divan. [MORNING POST.] The last American Papers have brought us a brief but interesting correspondence between the Spanish Minister at Washington, and Mr. Adams, the Foreign Secretary of the United States, on the proposed recognition of South American Independence. The letter of the former gives a melancholy indication of the crest-fallen situation of Spain. It calls to mind past forbearance and kindness to the United States, and implores justice now as a merciful act of gratitude for that conduct. Farther than this the Spanish Minister scarcely dares to venture. He knows too well the disjointed condition of • his coun try, and the consequent impotency of its Go vernment, to menace any - serious alternative when there is no power to execute It. - But still every line which he writes is pregnani, with deep felt injury, while his only hope seetilijo be not in the inherent integrity of the United States it self, but in the cunning apprehensions lemay en tertain of provoking the censure of other nations. This very general and declamatory mode of arguing the question with Mr. Adams is, when compared with the dry, Shylock sort of reasoning employed by the latter, a sufficient proof of the extreme difference of strength in the t-Aro parties. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The convoy, consisting of the John VI. and four transports, having the Portuguese troops on board, sailed for Lisbon at the time the Superb was leaving the harbour of Rio Janeiro. The troops were originally 1,600 in number, and about 400 remained behind, chiefly by means of desertion. The Prince Regent, in person, was seen going about in a boat in the harbour the day the ships were under weigh. The Commander, in the name of the respective corps, took an oath of obedience to the Prince Regent and his Go vernment ; but the prejudice against the troops being landed, and the danger that must have en-' sued, in case of altercations with the Brazilians, was so great, that it was not deemed prudent for them to land, unless in small parties and un armed.—The revenue of the present government is almost confined to the resources the province of Rio Janeiro affords, as none of the others, with the exception of St. Paul's, have joined. The Prince has consequently felt himself com pelled to curtail his expences very greatly, so that he himself,and all the persons depending on him,are living with the greatest economy. What will be the determination of the other provinces was not known, for the opinions and wishes of most of them are at variance with each other. Two Deputies to the Cortes in Portugal, from Minas G ernes, were at Rio when the late changes took place there, waiting for a conveyance to Lisbon. They prolonged their stay, and it soon became evident that they had no intention to proceed on their destination. As soon as their consti- tuents learnt this, they sent them word that unless they proceeded on the mission for which they had been elected, fresh Deputies would he chosen in their stead, and this induced them to embark for Lisbon.—M. Bonifacio Andrade, who is a native of the province of St. Paul's, and brother to the Deputy in the Cortes of Portugal, who lately had a serious altercation in the Congress respecting Brazilian affairs, enjoys the entire confidence of the Prince ; and, indeed, it is he who almost moves the •whole of tire political ma chine in Rio Janelro., We understand that the Managers of the Stock Exchange, always anxious to promote the views of Government, have determined to erect a desk or pulpit, for the sale of the new Long An nuities, immediately opposite to that in which the broker to the Commissioners for the Redemp tion of the National Debt now buys such Stock, and that a clause is to be introduced into the new Act to allow the respective brokers of the two Commissions to deal with each other, as the one will always be a buyer and the other always a seller ; this will greatly simplify this simple transaction, and, what is technically called the turn of the market being thus saved, there will be no new expence to the public,excepting for the management of the machinery.—(ibid.) MURDER OF MRS. DONATT Y.—Yesterday Mills the constable, who was one of the first persons that entered the house of Mrs.Donatty after the discovery of her murder,attended . beforeMr.MlNsuuLl., and produced the sack and the case con taining the sheath of the instrument supposed to have perpe trated the horrid act, to which he affixed his seal and signed his name upon them, all for the purpose of identifying them at any future time. They were then handed to Taunton and Vickery, two of the principal officers, who are assisting Mr. Taylor, the vestry-dark, in the pursuit of the murderer. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.-011 the 6th• inst. as I Mr. Ferguson, excise officer-In the lower district of Strathglass, was searching for private stills in the romantic part of the pro perty of Struy, opposite the farm of Deannie, his foot slipped, when looking over a precipice, and he was precipitated to the bottom, which was very rugged. His fall was fortunately broken by a bush, of which, being an active vigorous young man, he had caught hold, tearing it out by the roots, when , passing in his flight midwaybetween earth and air; and though he had fallen from a height of between 60 and 70 feet, he escaped with comparatively little injury. A caravan arrived at Perth last week, in which was exhibited a horse, modestly advertised to be " one of the largest horses in the world." For some cause or other, this noble animal was the other day arrested ; and the officers of the law, to make " assurance doubly sure" put a new lock on the door of admission, fastened, and left it, as they conceived, perfectly safe. It so happened, how ever, there was an opening in the other end of the cara van, which had escaped the vigilance of the officers, and through this aperture the showman contrived, during the still ness of the night, to take out his noble charger, whereon he mounted, and, like another Don Qoixote, set out in search of farther adventures in more favourable quarters. The lengthen= ed visages of the officers of justice may be easier conceived than described, when, on their arrival next morning at the caravan, they foundit. 'void of its inmate.—( Edinkirgl4 Courant-) FOR THE SUN. LETTER. X. MR. EDlTOR—Although I doubt not, from the authorities cited in my ninth Letter, having satisfied every candid Reader that the insurrec tion in Ireland, in the year 1641, was not a sudden burst, from despair, of the mere rabble in the province of Ulster, but a long-projected, deep-laid, well-organized rebellion, planned and brought to maturity by Priests, Jesuits, and Friars—that all the Romish Lords and Gentle men had been concerned in it, though those of the Pal' did not at first shew themselves, from sinister motives—and that, so far from " such violences being contrary to the Catholic Doc trine," " the infallible head of the Church" countenanced and encouraged by every means in his power, even by granting a mittitnus to heaven, not only the rebellion, but the massacre of the Protestants :—Yet I shall now adduce some further proofs, for the purpose of exposing, as much as it is. possible, the unparalleled falsehood, malignity, and audacity, of this sanctified libeller, —in the hope that it may convince the British nation, and if it be not too presumptuqus, the Legislature also, not only from the nature of this work, but from the indefatigable pains used to disseminate the poison, " that the:old itomisli superstition is as rank in Ireland as it was in the year 1641." The supreme (rebel) Roman Catholic Council of Kilkenny, composed of Ecclesiastics, Lords, and Commons, sent Sir Nicholas Plunket, and the titular Bishop of Ferns, as Ambassadors to the Court of Rome ; and, in the third article of their instructions, it is stated that cc the confede " rate Catholics having raised arms for the free " dom of religion, do intend, in the first place, " that you let his Holiness know their resolution " to insist upon such concessions and agreements " in matters of religion, and for the security " thereof, as his Holiness shall approve of, and "be satisfied with. You are to represent to his " Holiness that the confederates think fit to " insist upon, as security for such agreement in " religion as his Holiness will determine, that " the Lord Lieutenant, Lord Deputy, or other " Chief Governor or Governors, from time to cc time, should be Roman Catholics. In case his " Holiness will not be pleased to descend to such . . " conditions as might be granted in matters of " religion, then you are to solicit considerable " aid, whereby to maintain war. You are to " make application to his Holiness for his being " protector of this kingdom, and by special " instance to endeavour his acceptance thereof." Lord Castlehaven,'a member of the Supreme Roman Catholic Council of Kilkenny, and a Ge neral in the rebel army, of course well acquainted with all the springs and movements of the rebels, in his work, subsequently published, thus ex presses himself as to that rebellion; and, were there no other authority to rest upon, I should think his paramount to that of the Priest.—" It " is true, that forty years continual and flourish " ing race, in all obedience to the English laws, - - - froni the last of Queen Elizabeth to 164 " seemed to carry a fair outside, as if all those ' 4 national animosities had been utterly extin '' guished—but, alas ! the old leaven still fer " mented inwardly on one side, and among that ' 4 side the fire was but covered under hot embers : " the Earls of Tyrone and Tyrconnel, and the " Councils of Spain and Rome, and the Irish " monasteries and seminaries in so many countries " of Europe, and very many of the Churchmen " returning home out of them, and chiefly the 44 titular Bishops, together with the superiors of 44 regular orders, took an effectual course, under " the specious colour of religion, to add new " fuel to the burning coals, and prepare them for 44 a flame on the first opportunity ; which, who " ever did not see at the beginning of this re " hellion, as many did not—by observing what " extraction, or w hat names, all the first appearers " in it were of, and how particularly, of the " whole hundred that were designed for seizing " the Castle of Dublin, there was not so much as " one person of British blood, connexion, or name, " among them—might nevertheless, and without " the help of a multiplying glass, most clearly see " in it the procedure of the war." On the assembling of Parliament, it was dis covered that forty-seven members, all Papists, were actually concerned in the rebellion, on which the seats of those rotten Members, men tioned by name in the Journals, were declared to be vacated. On the 22d of June, 1641, in the same session, the House of Commons, after reciting, that " Forasmuch as many Members of " this House, betraying the trust reposed in them " by the Commonwealth, have treacherously " shewed themselves privy conspirators and actors " in this horrid rebellion.—Resolved, that no per " son now a Knight, a Citizen,or Burgess, for this 44 Parliament, and now present, shall be deemed a " Member of this House any longer,unless he shall " take the oath of supremacy," enacted in the second year of Queen Elizabeth : and this was the first attempt made to deprive Irish Roman Catholics of political power, notwithstanding the numerous rebellions their bigotry had occasioned. On the Restoration, " an Act was made in the " fourteenth and fifteenth years of King Charles " 11. for keeping and celebrating the three-and " twentieth day of October, as an anniversary 4 ' thanksgiving in this kingdom ;" the preamble to which states,—" Whereas many malignant and " rebellious Papists and Jesuit Friars, summary Priests, and other superstitious orders of the " Popish pretended Clergy, most disloyally, " treacherously, and wickedly, conspired to sur " prise his Majesty's castle of Dublin, his Ma " jesty's principal fort of this Kingdom of Ire " land, the city of Dublin, and all other cities " and fortifications of this realm; and that all " the Protestants and English throughout the " whole Kingdom that would not join with them, " should be cut off; and finally, by a general " Rebellion, to deprive our late Sovereign Lord, 44 of ever-blessed memory, King Charles 1., of " this his ancient and rightful Crown and Sove , " reignty of this Kingdom, and to possess them selves thereof : All which was by the said " Conspirators plotted, and intended to be acted 4( on the threeand tw:ntieth day of October, in cc the year of our Lord God 1641,—a Conspt " racy so generally inhuman, barbarous, and 46 cruel, as the like was never before heard of in " any age or kingdom." In excuse for " the mere rabble of the pro vince of Ulster," who rose in rebellion, Pastori ni says—" when people are driven to despair by " excessive hardship add oppression, and even " threatened with utter extirpation, what won " der if an insurrection follows ?" In opposition to the first part of the apology, I shall quote Sir John Temple, who says,—" Thus was the pre " sent Government most sweetly tempered, and " carried on with great lenity and moderation ; " and the Lords Justices and Council wholly, ‘C departing from the rigour of former courses, " did gently unbend themselves into a happy and " just compliance with the reasonable desires of " the people."—" Moreover, the Romish Ca " tholics now privately enjoyed the free exer " cise of their Religion throughout the whole " Kingdom, according to the doctrine of the " Church of Rome." As for the affected dread of 4 C utter extirpation," that is a Popish trick, which has been practised previous to every re bellion, for the double purpose of rousing the passions of those who might not otherwise join in the conspiracy, and as an excuse for those atro cities they had predetermined to commit. Har ris, in his history of the Life of King William, " of immortal memory," informs us, that . it had been adopted in the years 1641 and 1688: and we learn from the third volume of State Tracts, describing the events which had occurred in the reigns of Charles 11. and his bigotted infatuated brother, " that, the Irish pretended that the Pro " testants assembled in great numbers in the " night-time; and to gain more credit, the vul " gar Irish were instructed to forsake their houses, " and to hide every night in the bogs, pretend " ing a fear that the English would, in that dead " season, cut their throats, —a practice as notori " ous among them as unheard of among Protest " ants, and for which there neither was nor could "be the least foundation." The same device has also been practised, at different periods, with in the last thirty years, by propagating reports that Orangemen were to assemble on particular nights, for the purpose of murdering all the Ito rnish inhabitants. What might have emboldened Pastorini to pub lish so palpable a falsehood respecting the rebel lion of 1641, was, that there was no evidence, for many years, on the Journals of the Irish House of Commons, that such an event had occurred ; the manuscript of the proceedings of that House, from the year 1641 to the year 1647, having been lost in the confusion of the times. However, these important documents were discovered, after a lapse of considerably more than a century, and have been inserted in every edition of the Irish Journals that has been printed since the year 1764, of which it is probable he was not aware. But what opinion can we form of the loyalty to a Protestant King, and of the " good will" to their Protestant fellow-subjects—of the Romish Bishops of the present day—and of those that are called " Catholic Leaders," who have counte nanced the republication and dissemination of such a farrago of bigotry, virulence, and false hood ? At the very moment it was issuing from the Press in this city, with Doctor Murphy's name at the head of the list of subscribers, he and the rest of the'conclave were offering to their Sovereign their " zealous devotion," with assu rances " earnestly to impress upon the con " sciences of the whole Roman Catholic commu " munity, the holy commandment of our Blessed " Redeemer, of ' rendering unto Caesar the things " which are Cesar's, and unto God the things " which are God's ;'" and truly it must be al lowed that they have taken a❑ effectual method of inculcating the duty of obedience to an here tical King—of submission to the laws—and of charity to their neighbours, by recommending Pastorini's pretended History of the Christian Church to the perusal of "the whole Roman Ca ho lic community :" for, be it remembered, that Doctor Troy has openly patronised the work at Dublin, and, besides Doctor Murphy's respec table name gracing the list of subscribers in the bookseller's shop, he has caused a notice to be put up in the north Chapel, informing those that may wish to purchase, that a few copies remain unsold.—Quere, however, is there not a little mental reservation implied in this application of the words used by our Lord, when he was tempt ed by the unbelieving Jews—considering that all othodox Believers regard the Sovereign Pontiff' as "God on earth," (so the Bishop of Grenada declared him to be,)—ascribe to him Divine At tributes—and pay to him, a fallible creature, ado ration, due only to the Deity ? I shall now give another notable instance of Popish candour, loyalty, and modesty, which has reference, indeed, to the Rebellion of 1641, and therefore properly introduced in this Letter. The confederate Catholics,'yclep'd" The Supreme Roman Catholic Council of Kilkenny," whose treasons contributed not a little to the embar rassment and melancholy fate of Charles 1., presented two dutiful and humble addresses to the Rump Parliament—one in 1652, and another in the following year, in which they declared, that—" they did really submit, and " put their consciences, lives, and fortunes, " as in a sanctuary, under the protection of " this Commonwealth, having ever since walk " ed peaceably and in due conformity to the " Government, without the least defection there " in. That, contrary to your known pious inten " tions, manifested in the said act for settling " Ireland, they do apprehend that they may " be postponed or neglected : That several of 4 ' the Petitioners are able to make appear their " constant good affection and adherence to the " Commonwealth, to whom a competent time " may be allowed to make out the same is most C 4 humbly supplicated." Shortly after the Resto ration, these very men petitioned Charles 11., to be restored to their estates and liberties, plead. ing their loyalty to the late King, his Father, and how much they had suffered upon that ac count under Cromwell. Sir Nicholas Plunket was appointed to. plead for himself and others before the King and Privy Council ; when the Earl of Orrery produced a paper, which they could not deny to be in their hand- writing, and which contained instructions fo 511 Nicholas Plunket 'and the Popish Bishop of Ferns (I have already given an extract from this curious document), to offer the kingdom of Ire land first to the Pope, secondly to the King of Spain, thirdly to the King of France, fourthly to the Duke of Lorrain, and finally, if all refused, to any other Catholic Prince. I am aware that faith can do much ; but as I have no great faith in the alleged miracles within the last eight centuries, I am at a loss to recon cile the apparent contradiction or mystery of " their submitting and putting their consciences, lives, and fortunes, as in a sanctuary, under the Commonwealth, and walking peaceably and in due conformity to the (Usurper's) Government" —with " their loyalty to the late King" (Charles the First) ; nor yet their instructions to Sir Nicholas Plunket and the Popish Bishop of Ferns, as proven against them, with either.---' . They certainly kept up the farce of alic glance at the time they were in open rebellion and, in the oath they framed to suit their own circumstances, they promised " to bear faith and allegiance to his Majesty, his heirs, and succes" sors, as far as they may :" but these five last words fully shew the nature and extent of their allegiance to their Sovereign.—The modest terms of " Emancipation," which they demanded from him in his distress, I have reserved for another occasion and another letter. Cork, May 1, 1822. SIDNEY. IRELAND. ( From the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.) The Directors-General of Inland Navigation have intimated to the Lord Bishop, that they have directed their engineer to ascertain what works are necessary on the line of navigation, so as to give immediate employment to the poor of Limerick. We therefore hope that the Canal bank, which is most desirably situated as a promenade, may be put into thorough repair.
