TIIE LONDON JOURNALS. itc•TRAMTS" FROM 'PDE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, October 5, 1822. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We received last night the Paris Papers of Wednesday by express. The disapprobation which. England is understood to have expressed of the proceedings of the French Government with regard to Spain, and the refusal to co operate with the -Holy Alliance in their wicked and extravagant designs against that country, will soon influence .the proceedings of the De fenders of the Faith, whose success has. not hitherto been such as to afford them much en-. couragement. Even with the open assistance of the French Government, and the power of re treating in emergencies across. the Pyrenees, and re-appearing with fresh supplies and equipments, they have been unable to do more than haraSs the villages and small towns, and interrupt the communications through a wild and mountainous country. The bands of Quesada are said to be liow deserting him in numbers. One good will result from the evil of which they have been the authors. A number of the persons whom Spain can beA spare, the monks and friars (who with the robbers and smugglers constitute this Army of the Faith), must have fallen in the course of this irregular warfare, and many also must have committed themselves in. such a manner as to bring them within the operation of penal law. • • [MORNING POST.] Letters from Smyrna, received at Trieste, assert that Aleppo, the capital of Syria, had been destroyed by an earthquake. A similar report was circulated about this time last year, but never confirMed to its full extent. Either earth quakes are very frequent in that country, and cities speedily raised_ out of their ruins, or the present report is only a revival of the old.— An article from Augsburg, dated the 26th ultimo, announces that the new Hospodar of Wallachia had arrived on the 7th of September, at Silistria, where three thou Sand Turks were r to meet him to attend' him to his capital. It was thought that they would. form his guard at Bucharest ; and this is what is called the evacuation of the Principalities by the Ottoman forces, and what the Emperor Afexander submits to, in spite of all his Ul timatums. Well may that Sovereign become the derision of his enemies, of his subjects, and of.all Europe, who after setting up his offended dignity, assembling a large and expensive force to,support claims neither extravagant nor unjust, and putting forth one after the other Ultimatunis on the terms of which he pledged his honour to insist,-sitifers him Self to be cajoled or threatened out of all his pretensions, without any real con cession on the part of his antagonists, and at tempts to make a merit of his weakness and self prostration,in the eyes of his Allies and of the world. The same article says that the Turks persisted in refusing to send any agent to' treat with Alexander, and demanded that the 'European Sovereigns should not presume to take theis affairs into consideration at the approaching Congress. The intelligence from Spain is un important. A .courier, which left Madrid on the 21st ult. stated •that the greatest tranquillity reigned' in the capital, and the greatest activity in the various departments of Government. It was reported that the Colonel of the Spanish re giinent, which went under the name of the Im- Venial Alexander, had taken possession of the fort of.lrati; but that intelligence was doubted. The only news from France is contained in a telegraphic dispatch from Strasburgh, which an nounced that the Council of Revision had una nimously confirmed the sentence of death lately passed on Caron. • [THE TIMES.] We have received a Ne(politan and a Pied montee.e Gazette, which furnish some curious instances of the anxious desire of the two Kings Of Italy to please their haughty masters—the noly Alliance. The former contains an account of :the manlier in which Ferdinand HI. has -punished or pardoned his loving subjects for having established or supported' a constitution, - which lie himself swore to maintain, and at the head of which his sou remained till the Austrian 'standard appeared in sight of Naples. Thirty persons who had been concerned in the revolu tion of 1820 have been condemned to death, and thirteen to 25 years' imprisonment. The Gazdte, howeVer, is loud in its praises of the Royal cle rnenty for having pardoned 28 out of the 30 con •detnned,and for having commuted thispunishment into' iniprisonritent and hard labour for 30 years. Two 'Were ordered to be executed,Silvati and Mo rin", and were accordingly executed on the 1101; the latter having refused the aids of religion, was btiried in unconsecrated ground. The Pied monies& Gaz..ette contains an ordinance of Charles Felii for the regUlation of the studious youth of his 'dominions. The students of Turin, it will be remembered, were zealous partisans of the Constitution of 1821, and mainly instrumen tal in bringing - about 'the revolutionary explosion. For this, the University of Turin was dis sOlved, and its flue building converted into a stable for:the horses of the Royalist troops. Like the army, ithas'bOw been reformed, and, together with the other seminaries of the kingdom, placed under an institute that would have suited any century froni the Bth to the 15th, and no other.

[NEW TIMES.] It has h ,been determined, we understand, by the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, that Bargain '.shall be there transacted in foreign securities, as well as in English stock. These Gentlemen know their own business best : and ive'dare say they have judged right in their pre 'sent determination. At the same time we cannot agree with those persons who regard the reso lution in qtiestion as one of great importance. — How is it to operate ? We apprehend that trans actions of this kind have for a long time been oc casionally carried on at the Stock Exchange : and the only difference is that what has hitherto been the private act of individuals is 'hencefor ward to be publicly recognized by " the House." In what way this is to increase the speculations in foreign stock we are quite at a loss to discover. The great mass of these speculations is now car ried on at the Royal Exchange, as it always must be ; for transfers of foreign stock are not like transfers in our own stocks ; all that is ne cessary to be known in the one case is the price, quoted, of course, in our own currency ; but in the other case there is a new element in the calculation, namely, the rate of exchange. If I hear that Consols are 812, I know at once what any amount of stock which I may wish, to pur chase will cost ; but if I am told that Russian Scrip is at 89k, and Spanish New Fives at 66: 3 -, before I can resolve on my intended operation I must learn the rates of exchange with Russia and Spain, which information is of course to be most speedily and most accurately obtained on the Royal Exchange, " the place where merchants most do congregate." [BRITISH PRESS.] The Papers from Ireland received yesterday present a frightful picture of part of the coun try. The counties of Cork, Limerick, and Wa terford, are again a scene of outrage and terror. The views of the disturbers of the public peace were last .year directed principally against new occupants of lands succeeding to the old tenants. At present. a resistance to the payment of tithes is the most prominent object. With this difference, the outrages which afflict that part of the country are si milar in character to those with which it had been lately disgraced. Murder, robbery, and wilful burning, prevail in the black cata logue of crime. The combination against tithes is carried on with the most determined perseVer ante, and in the most efficient manner. The country people are warned, on pain of death, not to draw off the tithe of the clergyman, when that tithe is taken :in kind. Instances are given in which these • threats have been. successful, and the tithe in several places is rotting on the spot where it is collected. But the ringleaders do not confine .themselves to this negative hostility. The tithe-corn is burned in several places, some times by'gangs, and sometimes, it is said, by the .application of some chemical preparation, introdUced by individuals, which remains in the rick or corn stack several hours before combustion takes place. This distracted state 'of the country cannot be imputed to want of energy among the resident Magistrates and gentry. They are in full activity. Neither does justice'sleep. If we take the Assizes and Special Commissions into account, the sittings of the Cri minal Courts may be considered as nearly per manent. The country . is scoured night and day by an armed police, or the regular army, and the Insurrection Act is now 40'1111 force. In short, nothing that the civil and military power could effect has been left undinie - , and of the additional means of safety provided by the wisdom of Par liament in the last Session, nothing remains to be tried but the new Constabulaiy Bill. That re medy has not been yet completely organised and brought into action. It may afford some relief, but where such a combination of means has failed, we cannot hope this measure, However salutary, can prove effectual. In the mean time the price of corn in several districts is merely nominal.— The best wheat is selling in several places for about five-and-twenty shillings the English quarter ; and such little effect has the call on the absentees'produced, that every man who can leave the country is retiring to the county town or the metropolis. [MORNING HERALD.] The foreign arrivals (though each day brings its version) are still monotonous ; a retrospect even of several days will exhibit in their news the affairs of Europe little changed or advanced. The French Papers give signs of life, in some cautiously tender remonstrances, against the in vasion which the Police has recently made upon, not alone personal rights, but the security of property. The Journalists know their condition ; their de pendence upon the simple discretion of the Minister. The recent law relating to them was explicit in this respect. The power of suspending or suppressing the journals was of course to be taken into his cal,. culation by every person applying his capital and industry in that way—they have less ground to complain of confiscation. It is true that they might have expected that this discretion would be exercised in a manner less sweeping and arbitrary. But that which has excited most alarm is the commencement of an attack upon the book-pub lishers, which, if continued, will make that trade a mere game of hazard. Everybody—at least all those who know any thing of the matter—must be aware how innocently a libel may be published in Paris. Now, if the withdrawing from a bookseller his licence as such—that is, pro hibiting his following his trade—be made the pu nishment of a thing so doubtful in all cases, and so easily stamped as such by the verdict of a Jury in France, upon any publication not palatable to authority, it is quite clear, that the booksellers, a most extensive and respectable trade in Paris, have no longer any security for their property. The third class, which has been attacked in the same spirit, are professional men. Surely a man who has devoted some precious years of his life, at a great expence of money and industry, in ac quiring the qualification and competence to exer cise one of the liberal professions, has as in violable a right to exercise that profession which he has acquired, as a man can have to the enjoy ment of a purchased or hereditary estate. It is true that their rights are subjected to peculiar control—but on an understanding that this con trol shall not be wantonly exerted.

( From the Liverpool Courier, Oct. 2.) THE CONGRESS.—The Congress of Sovereigns and their Ministers have already, it is probable, entered upon deliberations, on which great results, as to the nations of Eu rope, are suspended. Their motives have been, as usual, violently assailed by the factious of all countries, and their ob ject is stated to be to conspire against the rising liberties of the world. We hope not ; and of this we are assured, that to such a conspiracy no British Minister would or could become a party, and his pre*nce there would, of course, spoil the whole plot, were the other Powers secretly disposed to engage in it. 'We see, however, no such indication. It is true, that the sense in which the phrase, " the liberties of mankind," is used is very vague ; and against the " rising" and the the spread of a monstrous abortion, entitled liberty, in modern times, such a concert of Sovereigns mil l :4 oppose a very powerful barrier; and we are not surprised that the Car.. bonari of Italy, the Liberaux of France, and the Radicals of England, should look upon this Royal and diplomatic assem blage with a hatred which rises in proportion as their hopes of dis turbing the world sink. Nothing is clearer than that ouch a con cert among the Powers of Europe is demanded by the present state of things. After long sufferings fr6m the ambition of mili tary jacobinism, and tremendous sacrifices in order to re-assert the independence of their respective countries, it is not to be supposed that they should sit down tamely to see plots matured for the overthrow of thrones which their arms have re-erected, and the system of Europe again invaded by political and mili tary adventurers. The movements in Greece are too often un justly confounded with those 'of the factions of Italy, Spain, and England. The principle is utterly distinct, and the case as opposite as light and darkness. 'We hope, therefore, that Greece will find a proper sympathy in this Congress,—freedom, if possible; but if not, at least protection. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Collins, 77, years. BOXING. The amateurs of real milling had a full and rather an unex pected day's play yesterday, at Chorley Inclosures, near Wey bridge, in two very gallantly contested battles. The first was a match for forty Sovereigns between Ben Moss, the Warminster butcher, and Moffitt, a black, lately imported from America, as out-and-out amongst. the Yankies, and who manfully did his duty. Some meddlers caused the battle to be removed from Berks into Surrey. In the first round the black rushed in upon his adversary with the greatest impetuosity, and floored his adversary by a heavy hit upon the chest, but claret was drawn from his mum. mer by a counter left-handed hit at the same time. 2. This round was in itself equal to a good battle, from va lour displayed, and the various changes. The Black was job bed over the right eye with the left hand many times, until the eye-lid covered it, but in this state of darkee, he dealt out heavy return blows until Moss shewed weakness, and he was thrown heavily. 3. The black had the hest of a severe rallying round, and it was evident that Moss was trying . to darken his adversary's other eye, but he was awkward at it, and he was dropped for ward by a chattering hit upon the jaw. 4. The black received a heavy flush hit upon the eye not be fore damaged, and Moss kept away after as much as he could, to give it the effect of puffing tip. He was again floored by a doubler up in the body, but he was too good to be denied. Four other rounds were fought, and the black's impetuosity exhausted him. He was hit hard in these rounds, and at the' end of the eighth he had scarcely a glimmering of sight, and Moss was declared the victor in 4U minutes. A second and tremendous battle was fought between Joel Davis and Carter, a navigator, which lasted twenty seven mi nutes. Three rounds only were fought, and both were hit to pieces. They were heavy punishers, but wanted science. Davis won it by cracking his adversary's jaw. We hear it is notified to the tenants upon 'his Grace the Duke of Rutland's extensive estates, that at the next rent-day an abatement will be made in the rents, not as a return by per centage, but according to the situation and circumstances of the farms.—(Stanford Mercury.) At the Hop Market Dinner, at the Fleece Inn, in Canterbury, on Wednesday last, the intention of Mr. CURTEIS, the Member for Sussex, to move, early in the next Session of Parliament, for the repeal of the 54th of Geo. 3, which relates to the marking of Bags and Pockets of Hops, having, on the statement of die Chairman, Mr. D. J. PARKER, become matter of discuSsion, it was the unanimous, opinion of the company, that it is highly expedient to oppose any attempt to procure the repeal of ari.ilet so fair and so generally beneficial in its operation ; that a subscription 'should be entered into to defray the expence of opposing the Bill, and that a general meeting of the Planters of East Kent should be convened on a future day, for the purpose of further considering this important subject.—( Kentish Gazette.) On Thursday last, William Jones, a private in the Ist ROyal Dragoons; vartered at the Eight Bells public house,- in Dover, shot himself whilst in bed, wall a horse pistol Charged with two bullets, which entered his body, passed through his lungs out of the other side, and lodged in the wall of the room. lie lingered Until Sunday evening in great agony, when death put, an end'lo- his- sufferings.

Verdict,..-Lunocy• LITERARY NOTICE. A LE 'TER addressed to the Right Hon. the Ea.rl of ELDON, Lord High Chancellor, tir.t. &c. upon the- MAR; RIAGE ACT AMENDMENT BILL. By JOHN STOCKDALt 'HARDY, Depsity Registrar of the Coundis sary Court of Leicester. (Concluded from Thuilday's Su x.) The 10th section declares who are the persons capable of administering the oaths required by the act. These are the surrogates of the Archbishops and Bishops, or of Judges hold ing commissions under them. The section also inflicts the punishment of perjury and felony on parties who wilfully swear falsely in order to obtain a licence of marriage, or who are privy to the procurement of any false instrument, &c. Had the section stopped here, (though it is loosely worded and ter ribly severe in its operation, and though by the sentence of transportation, which it pronounces, a sufficient quantum of misery would have been occasioned), much perhaps 'Would not have been said ; the concluding part of it, however, ,will, in my view of the subject, be productive of great mischief. It is this—" And if the person convicted of such offence (i. e. swear ing falsely or wilfully producing a false instrument) shall be one of the persons who shall have contracted marriage by means of such licence, such person shall forfeit and lose to the King's Majesty all estate, right, title, interest, benefit, profit, and advantage, which such person may derive from, or be en- titled to, by virtue of such marriage ; and such forfeiture shall and may be disposed of in such manner as to his Majesty shall seem fit." Let only a case be put upon this clause. A young woman of fortune (a minor) is inveigled into a marriage with a' worthless fellow, who does not scruple to perjure himself or assist in forg ing an instrument, in order to obtain a licence of marriage.— The marriage is solemnized, and by that means the parties be come indissolubly bound to each other. The fortune of the Lady, if it happen to bepersonal estate in possession, and out of the reach of equity, becomes absolutely forfeited to the Crown, in case the husband be prosecuted to conviction. The woman is left without a shilling, and obliged to remain the wife of a felon, liable to transportation for life, without her friends be inn able to take any step to reliote her ! Yes, my lord; she will be obliged to remain the wife of a miscreant, whCl most likely married her for her money, and who, upon finding himself script of it by this clause, will, in all probability, enhance the misery of the-unfortunate girl by his brutal conduct. Perhaps, too, the parents of the female will have to be passive spectators of the heart-rending scene, without being able to take any steps to relieve their ill-fated child from so wretched a thraldom.! What a picture of distress is here ! It is not, however, an ima ginary picture; the case will occur, and occur frequently, if the act remain as it is—Many unfortunate women will, through its operation, be torn from the station in society where birth and fortune had placed them, to subsist on eleemosynary aid—will be doomed to pass through life as the wives of convicts—and to traverse amid thorns that path which they had been led to suppose would have been strewn with flowers ! But to return. It is no argument in favour of the clause to say, that the Crown will not retain the fortune of the female, but apply it for her benefit, independent of the husband. There is no doubt this would the case ; but this would not obviate the unhappiness of the parties—this would not alleviate the distress of her, who, seeing her prospects blighted—her patri mony gone, and her reputation assailed, before she could be said to have entered upon life, must apply to the treasury for that sustenance, which the exertions of her departed friends had placed within her power, and which., when closing their eyes in death, they had fondly hoped would have rendered her able to meet the frowns of the world ! Surely, my lord, placing it within due restraints, some power of interference on the part of parents or guardians ought, in such cases as these, to be reserved. I shall probably be accused of looking at the question only in one point of view, as far as the female is concerned. But looking at it in another light does not improve it. How ever, let this be done. I will suppose a young man of fortune, (for this was the case evidently to which the act was intended more particularly to apply), I will suppose him to be entrap ped into a marriage with a worthless and abandoned woman, who does not scruple to make a falSe affidavit, &c.--what then ? Her claim of dower or thirds (supposing her entitled to any, but which in many instances she would not be), becomes vest ed in the Crown. As to the confiscation of her individual pro perty, the chances are, that she has none to lose, and so she may smile at the section, except as far as the punishment of felony is concerned. The clause, my Lord, will most exten sively affect young women of fortune (chiefly minors) who may be deceived into marriage by profligate and abandoned suitors. It is here that the tear of sorrow will trickle down the cheek where the smile of content was wont to beans ; it is here that misery will penetrate into that dornestic circle where happiness, used to be the presiding" Deity! The 16th section of the act specifies the requisites which are to attend publication of banns on and after the Ist of Septem- , ber next. Nothing, my Lord, can be urged against the pre cautions which the act has attempted to provide in this parti cular ; but what can be said to the tremendous—the sweeping confiscations of property which will attend any false statements or affidavits leading - to the publication of banns ? These, I" take it, will be far more numerous than those which will be, produced by licence ; and, as precisely the same arguments ap-' ply to them as to those connected with marriages by licence, I forbear to dwell further on so painful a subject. 'With respect, my LOrd, to this part of the Bill, I cannot resist observingthat: the 19th section of the act, which establishes the validity .of marriages by banns, though the publication were made under false or -assumed names, appears to render the publica tion perfectly useless. Correctness as to names, both chris tian and sirname, has hitherto been considered as of the " essence of publication';" and surely this is reasonable;. for if false names are to be aflopted, how , can a parent or guardian exercise his right of forbidding the marriage at the time of the publication of the banns ? What a cruel si tuation will an affectionate parent or provident guardian be' placed in,—to be incapable of forbidding the banns through a want of knowledge of the assumed names of the parties, and then, when too late, obliged to witness his darling child or fa vourite ward, the object of his most fervent affection, or most intense solicitude, dashed upon the stones of adversity by an, imprudent marriage ! Although the act does not exactly use the term, yet I should conceive that a " false description" of the parties, 'or an erroneous place of residence stated in the affidavit; would not, after solemnization, vitiate a marriage.— If this be so, and the false description be joined to the false or assumed names, how 'will it be possible in large and populous parishes (the ces Which 'will be invariably 'resorted to by parties having clandestine purposes in view) for parents and guardians to exercise their right of dissent ? „ . SUICIDE. -- Yesterday morning a young woman, who lodged at the'house of Mr. Tho Mas, grocer, in Carlton-hill,. was found in her bed4oom ' 'suspended to the tester of the bed. She was discovered about 9 o'clock, and as the body was quite cold when cut down, it is supposed that some considerable time had elapsed since thefatal'ect Was committed. Although she had resided 'there no less 'than five . months -the persons of the house are ignorant who she is; and the only. knowledge which they possess respectinc , her is derived from the superscription of a letter - Which she had b lately written to her sister, and which she sent by a young woman to the Post-Office. We cannot learn that there existed any immediate cause which may be sup posed to have led her to adopt the desperate resolution of de strOying herself ; but from 'circumstances which occurred on the preceding day it appears' eviitent that her mind was disturbed. The young woman was a dressmaker, and was about 22 years of age. A Coroner's Inquest will be holden on the body this day—(Prighton Gaz'ette; Oct: 4.) AN ATTEMPT AT StficiDE.—A young woman, at No. 2, Weller's-place, St. Pancras, last Wed nesday tried to put an 'end to her existence, by taking a 'dose of poison (what the poison was she will not tell, but it is supposed to have been opium). She soon became 'insensible, and life less to all appearance. Mr. Davies, a neighbour ing surgeon, was sent for,'who immediately poured dOwn some medicine, through a tube introduced into the nostril (the teeth being completely locked), which soon produced vomiting. By a little more medical assistance, she gradually: re covered the' use of her senses, and is now nearly well. This was the second time that she at tempted to destroy herself. ROBBERY INI - IyuE-pAßK.—Wednesday night, as Mr. J. Allcock, a hard working man residing in one of the cottages in Gardner's-lane,.
