THE LONDON JOURNALS.

EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,
April 22, 182.2.

[MORNING HERALD.]
We yesterday received Thursday's Paris Papers.
Nothing of moment had passed in the Chamber
of Deputies. The discussions turned upon some
minor imposts, in the details of the Budget ; some
amendments for reducing the itenos were pro-
posed, but rejected. There was a seasoning of
personality; but this is so frequent as no longer
to be worth particular notice. The following
may be taken as a specimen :—M. Dudon, an
Ultra Deputy, who, from the exaggeration of his
opinions and singularity of his manners, fre-
quently excites mirth in the Chamber, complained
of some interruption,—" I am treating," said
he, " a civil (not political) question."—" Then,"
said a Member on the left, " You are treating
something very unlike yourself."

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

At a late hour last night we received the Paris
Papers of Friday last by express. It will be
see❑ by an article from Vienna, that M. de Tat-
scheff was about to leave that capital, to repair
to his Sovereign, but that his house was to be re-
tained, from which it was concluded that he
would soon return. Some, says the writer, in-
ferred from this that war was certain ; others
that the/ hope of peace was not altogether de-
stroved.—An article in the Courier Francais
details accounts from Constantinople, of the arti-
fice of the Turks, and of their preparations for
war, the commencement of Is hich must be marked
with the most dreadful excesses. The writer
thinks the success of the Russians in this war by
no mean; so certain as is generally supposed.—
That i❑ a country like Turkey many difficulties
must await the Russians we can believe ; but the
history of every former war, and the recent con-
flict with the Greeks, forbid us to look to any
formidable opposition from Turkish force. The
composition of the Russian army, we all know,
is excellent, and a Turkish army hardly differs
in any thing from a mob. The conflict in such a
case must be very unequal, and soon decided.

[BRITISH PRESS.]

Madrid Papers to the 9th, and Lisbon Papers
to the 7th inst. have arrived at our office. The
Cortes of Portugal are anxiously occupied in dis-
cussing the affairs of Brazil, and in endeavouring
to regulate the future commercial intercourse be-
tween Portugal and the great Trans-Atlantic
portion of her empire. We hope that the Cor-
tes will, by an early and well-timed concession,
secure to their country the immense advantages
which a close union upon liberal principles with
the Brazils must produce. The pretensions of
superiority on the part of Portugal over that ex-
tensive country can never with safety enter into
the Policy of the Cabinet of Lisbon. The least
chew of it in the present state of America would
instantly dissolve the connexion of the two coun-
tries, and of this the Cortes cannot, we presume,
now entertain any doubts. The accounts from
Spain speak of the occasional appearance in dif-
ferent parts of the country of bands of insurgents.
From their numbers, and the character of their
proceedings, they might with more propriety be
called gai:s of robbers. The French cordon of
health is represented as amounting to upwards of
27,000 men ; but the extent of the frontiers, the
numbers of the passes, the difficulty of preventing
the progress of contagion, and the importance of
the cities which were to be protected, are noticed
in the Spanish Papers as sufficient excuses for
the apparent magnitude of this force.
