Extracts, from the iforneng Papers. July 11,1 525.

[NEW TIMES.]

We have received information from a source, on
which ve‘e are inclined to place much reliance,
that the French Government has taken a defini-
tive resolution to recognise the independence of
Ilayti. This event is one of extreme importance
in all its bearings, and we shall hail the intelli-
gence, if confirmed, with sincere pleasure. 'ln
our paper of the 7th of May, we gave a summary
'of the negociation which took place last summer
between the French Governmient and the Com-
missioners, Larose and Rouallez, appointed to
treat on this subject by the President Boyer.—
*That negociation was abruptly broken off on the
3d of August, on the ground of a demand on
the part of the King of France to retain
the Exterior Sovereignty of the French part
of Ilayti. The , Haytians were prepared to
have paid a large pecuniary indemnity to the
ancient French Colonists, but not to surrender in
any degree, or under any modification, their na-
tional independence ; and the Commissioners,
therefore, returned to France, re infectit. it
should seem, that on mature reflection the French
Government had wisely concluded, that the solid
money offered by the Haytian Government was
of more importance than the empty claim, which
never would be recognized, of a nominal sove-
reignty. Such a sum of money, paid, as it would
be, into the hands of the French Government,
would he of considerable use in promoting the
favourite financial object of M. De Villele—the
reduction of the Rentes. In this point of view
it deserves tl►e attention of the monied in-
terest in this country, as well as in France.
But still more important considerations, poli-
tical and moral, connect themselves with the
event in question. It has been the constant
policy of our Government, in disputes be-
tween other European States and their Colo.
nies, to afford the Mother Country the amplest
opportunity of being the first to recognize the
independence of its former subjects. Thus
we acted towards Spain ; and thus we have acted
towards France. There must come a time, in all
such cases, when the long continuance of a de
facto independence must lead to a recognition by
Foreign Power ; but it is desirable to avoid col-
lisions of opinion upon such questions; and when
the original Sovereign has waived his rights, no
such collisio❑ can arise. It is now 22 years
since the inhabitants of Hayti declared them-
selves independent. They have during Eau
time been very urgent with the English Go-
vernment to recognise that independence, and
there have been many persons in England who
have warmly seconded that desire. Our Go-
vernment, however, has declined involving it-
self in any dispute 'on that ground ; but if the
King of France abandons his claim of sove-
reignty, we shall, no doubt, follow his example
in the recognition of Haytian Independence.—
The moral will be no less striking than the poli-
tical effect. A nation of African origin, esta-
blished in the West Indies, will be regarded as
competent to the full enjoyment of civil and po-
litical rights. The black and the white man will
no longer be deemed to stand in the necessary
relations of inferior and superior : they will treat,
negotiate, and contract with each other as equals,
individually and nationally : and the principles
of justice will at length be confessed to be com-
mon to all the races of mankind, without dif-
ference of origin, colour, or complexion.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
An erroneous supposition exists, that all further
proceedings against Mr. Kenrick in Parliament
are at an end—this is by no means the case. A
resolution has been made in the House of Com-
mons, that at present further proceedings in the
case of Cantor are not necessary ; but as the
charge against Mr. Kenrick with regard to
Franks, and more especially to the letter, which
purports to have been written at Beaumaris, and
which was published by Mr. Russel Collet in
The Stamford News, by which he is charged with
sheep-stealing, though he be entirely acquitted
by Mr. Peters, of Betel' worth Castle, who lost the
sheep, and whoa ttended in the Lobby of the House
of Commons, on the supposition that Franks's affair
was-then to have been gone into, on the day of the de-
bate on Cantor's petition, to declare his innocence,
remains on the Journals of the Ilouseof Commons;
the Common Serjeant is so committed and pledg-
ed, that matters cannot remain as they are ; they
cannot stop here. For the credit of Parliament
and of our Courts of Justice, he must be acquit-'
ted or convicted. On the first debate on Can-
for's case, Ministers thought themselves so
triumphant, that the Common Serjeant was ac-
tually trampled under foot by them. But on the
second day, the cAtting analysis of Mr. Tierney,
and the sound and strong arguments of Sir F.
Burdett, Messrs. Baring,, Moberly, and H.
Sumner, have placed even Cantor's affair in a
new and very different point of view. On
that occasion we think that Mr. Kenrick and
Ministers, who have identified themselves with
him and his cause, sustained a defeat, and that
they retired from the field of combat with disho-
nour and disgrdte. The great question now is,
whether an accumulation of bad cases shall in-
duce Parliament to address the Crown for the
removal of a Judge, or whether, by taking each
instance of misconduct apart and separately, Mi-
nisters shall be allowed to lead the House of
Commons to declare, that Cantor's case, though
bad, is not a sufficient cause ; nor is Franks's ;
nor Dover (the proceedings there ought to be
placed on the Table of the House) ; nor the Sur-
rey Sessions, nor the prosecution by Mr. Mober-
ly at the Old Bailey ; nor Blecthin,gley and the
Prebend of Salisbury. No, indeed ; no one of
these cases may he enough for the purpose of
the Common Serjeant. We are, however, of a
different opinion ; the aggragated mass should
he discussed, and debated, and voted on. Our
doctrine is—

" Qum non prosu nt sing*, juncta juvant.:l
The Conimon Serjeant is not a /man to be borne
down by clamour, and certainly not by. Charles
Wynn—he will not be terrified or bullied or
trampled on. Ile considered well and long) be-

fore he made those charges, and placed them on
the Journals of Parliament—there indeed they
must for ever remain, whatever votes or resole:
Lions Ministers may lead the House of Commons
into—their courage, however, ,is very much cool-
ed and abated—they have been much crest-fallen
since the second debate on Cantor's case. For
the good of the public the affair could not be iir
better hands than in those of the. Common Ser.:
jeant. He is a sound Lawyer of great ability,
eloquence, and courage, and above all these, he
is universally admitted to be a man of consum-
mate honour, honesty, and integrity. Our hum-
ble advice to him is in few words, Made tali nit-
tale—sic itur ad astra.

[MORNING row.]
Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday reached
our Office last night, by ExprEss. The surrender
of Navarino appears certain, but the advantages
derived by Ibrahim Parka, from the fall of that
place, are not so great as they had been repre-
sented. It is doubtful, indeed, whether it Will
not ultimately prove useful instead of injurious
to the Greek cause, as the alarm which it excited
put an immediate end to the dissentious which
prevailed in the Morea. The Government Gene-
ral pardoned Colocotroni and all his party, ani
entrusted to that Chief, in whose abilities much
confidence is placed, a corps of twelve thou-
sand Peloponesians, who had asked him for
their Commander. Colocotroni instantly re-
paired from Hydra to Napoli di Romania,
and swore at the foot of the Altar in the prin.
cipal Church, that he would again faithfully
defend the cause of the country. From thence
he went to Tripolizza, and put himself at the
head of his army. This accounts for the check
which Ibrahim Pacha is said to have received,
and gives propability to the report aids ultimate
defeat. After the occupation of Navarino, he is
said to have penetrated into Arcadia as far as
Cordevene, on the road of Tripolizza. But there
his progress was stopped ; the Greeks not only
maintained their ground, but attacked him with,
impetuosity, and drove him bark with consider-,
able loss. In additiOn to this intelligence, the
Augsburg Guzcite gives letters from several
parts of the Adriatic, which mention a san-
guinary battle between the Greek and Egyptian.
armies, the result of which is stated to be
the taking by storm of the entrenched camp
of Ibrahim Pacha. " So important a piece of
news, however," says that Gazette," requires
confirmation, and we look with impatience for
accounts directly from the Morea."—A private
letter from Trieste, dated June 25, repeats the
statement already received from other quarters,
that the Captain Pael►a's fleet had been so severely
handled by the Greek Admiral Sachtury, that it
had returned to the Dardanelles instead of pro-
ceeding to the Morea.—Most of the French,
papers speak of a new negotiation being opened
with the Haytian Government, and of an offer
of from 100 to 150 millions of francs by the lat-
ter, as the price of a full recognition of its inde-
pendence.

LERITISII PitESS.J
The Report of the Select Committee on Me-
tropolis Turripite Trusts is publiSlred in another
column, There can be no doubt, on a perusal of '
this document, that the present system of rnaLizge.
ment pursued under these Trusts is one which.
ought to be terminated as soon as possible. Iti
every.respect the public suffer from it. More
money is raised than is necessary, and yet the
roads are not in so good a state of repair as they!
ought. The multiplicity of these Trusts is also a'
source of great loss and inconvenience. A memora,
ble specimen of the excess to which.this evil hay ,
been carried may be found in the fact that "no less
than four several Acts of Parliament, constitutine..
four separate trusts, viz.—City-road, Old-street,„
Bethnal-green, and Shoreditch, with different
bodies of trustees,and all the expellees attendant''
on four distinct establishments, comprise witl,-
in them only a distance of four miles and a'
half." The vexatious delays and intolerable ex
pence resulting from these causes constitute no
trifling grievance. By way of remedy, the Corn-
mittee strongly recommend " a consolidation of
the whole of the trusts (sixteen) in the county of ,
Middlesex under one Act of Parliament, to be ,
conducted by one uniform system of manage-,
merit." We believe there will be no difference
of opinion among the public at large with re-'

spect to the propriety of adopting this remedy.
It is clear and simple, and would at once put FM

end to many of the evils of the present system.

[TIII TIMES.]
The French funds having shown on Wednes-
day last a slight disposition to rise, politicians at
Paris were busy in finding some adequate reason. • •
for so unexpected a phenomenon. It was ac-:
cordingly bruited about, that the Ministers hart
at length decided on accepting Boyer's offer of
100,000,000 francs ; and renouncing on the part,.
of Charles X. all sovereignty over St. Domingo.
Those who are acquainted with M. De Villele
seem to think him not incapable of adopting that
dexterous line of policy. " The Gascon," say
they, " is so confoundedly supple." De:
moustier, Ambassador to the Swiss Cantons,;
where it appears he has been setting people..,
by the ears and is not liked, has just beets'
transferred to. Madrid. It is supposed that
M. Demoustier will answer the Camarillo to a
nicety, being a notorious gossip and tale-bearer
—a sort of personage much esteemed by Ferdi-
nand. It will first, however, be convenient
for the said Ferdinand to find that Dernoustier's
father-in-law, Mr. La Forest held the same
office of Ambassador from Buonaparte to Fer-
dinand's predecessor, Joseph ! In the Cham-
ber of Deputies this Demoustier is shuued
by most of his colleagues, under the notion
of his being the tool and spy of Villele. P.I. Hyde
de Neuville's dismissal from the Portuguese
embassy is viewed by our correspondents with 119
common surprise—not because he is a deter-
mined Royalist, and still less because of his
being a stickler for the Charter—but on account
of a circumstance, which, in our minds, we con-
fess, creates no feeling of astonishment. It is
affirmed, that only three days before be received
his conger the King said to him at a private au.

dience—" My dear Neuville, my late brother
" was only a King to you, but I am your friend,
" your sincere friend ; I mean to prove it to
" you in the manner the most unquestionable,
" and am now employed in considering how I
" can amend your position." To which the ex-
Ambassador replied—" Sire, I don't pretend to
" disguise from your Majesty that I voted last
" session against the laws introduced by your
" Ministers : in my heart and conscience I found
" them to be bad measures ; and I am not ac-
" countable to any other tribunal for my actions
65 as a Deputy. I should have been most happy to
" find myself in the wrong; bat I was compelled
" to vote as I did."—" My dear Neurille," re.
joined the condescending Charles X., " I but es-
teem yOu the more, and am the more obliged
4"- to you ; nor shall I ever complain of such hon."
ourable conduct." Three days afterwards,
the conscientious M. Neuville was sent about his
business : but what is there wonderful in that ?
From the French Papers of Friday, which arrived
last night, we might extract long and contra-
dictory accounts of the state of affairs in Greece,
but as they would rather perplex than interest
the reader, we shall abstain from details till we
obtain more decisive intelligence. Beyond these
statements, we find nothing_ either in the Journals
of Thursday or Friday worth extracting. The
two new academicians (of whom the well-known
Casimir de Lavigne is one) were admitted to
their chairs on Thursday, with the customary
formalities, and the usual set of speeches.
Each new member praised his predecessor, and
vas in turn praised by the President. Four
harangue, and a large quantity of eulogium, were
the necessary consequence of this arrangement.
The-speech of M.Cassimir de Lavinge sometimes
deviilted from the beaten path, and embraced two
or three facts and allusions which gave it more
than ordinary interest. The academician to whom
he succeeded differed entirely from himself in
politics, being a determined suppOrter of the doe-
trines of absolute power. Foreseeing that the
young poet might be elected to fill the Chair which
he was about to leave vacant, M. Ferranti sent for
him, and endeavotired to convert him to • the
recekyed creed of legitimacy. M. de Lavigne
was inflexible in refusing the political mantle of
the aged Ultra, though he accepted his academic
reversion. In alluding to the scenes of the revo-
lution, through which Count Ferrand had passed,
M. de Lavigne paid a high compliment to his
patron, time Duke of Orleans, whom he described
as 6` passing from the field of battle to an ob-
" scure college, and demanding from letters,
56 without a surrender of his dignity, that support
" which he was afterwards to render them with-
' out robbing them of their independence." The
sitting of the Academy, which is given at consi-
derable length, presents little else of an interest.

[MORNING HERALD.../
`We lad betore our Readers a few days since
a Report of the proceedings at, a meeting of a
sect of people, composed, as it would seem, of the
most low and illiterate fanatics, calling themselves
a Gospel Tract Society. The annals of the fancy
hardly furnish a more striking specimen of igno.-
sauce and vulgarity than appears in the speeches,
or rather howlings, of the persons who are re-
presented as having taken the lead on this occa-
sion, yet most, if not all of whom, we ob-
served, are styled Reverend. What right a
man who emerges from his shop or his coal
shed, or who leaves the more congenial pursuit
of razor-grinding to become a field-preacher,
leas to assume this title we are at a toss to
irna-
gine. It has hitherto been used to distinguish
the priesthood, and has carried with it to the
common sense of mankind some respect for the
presumed talents of its possessors. In our own
Church, as well as most others, it follows the
laying on of hands by the Bishop, or the sanc-
tion of some competent authority ; and ought
not to be assumed, or permitted to be assum-
ed, by every ignorant fanatic whose avarice
or insanity prompts him to degrade it. Nor can
we too strongly condemn the arrogance of per-
sons who thus presume to become teachers, while
they cannot open their lips without convincing
us that they have themselves never been taught.
To many the ravings and vulgarity of such per-
sons may appear to be beneath any notice but
when we, at the same time learn, that one of the
largest rooms in London was 44 crowded to ex-
cess" upon such an occasion, it is impossible
not to feel, if not some degree of :Intro,
at least no small regret, that such " blind
leaders" should find followers ; and we cannot
help attributing it, in a great measure, to a cause
to which we drew the attention of our readers
only a short time since—viz. to the total want of
accommodation for the middle and lower ranks of
society in the places of Established Worship. That
the best things are pervertible to the worst pur-
poses, is a truth which daily experience establishes
—and we know of none productive of more lament-
able consequences than result from thejgnorance,
the zeal, and the artifice of such persons as those
we are•allnding to,_icting upon the heated ima-
ginations of an untaught or ill-t:tught popula-
tion. We need not state to those who are ac-
customed to our opinions, how warmly we-are at-
tached to an unlimited toleration. But us we
would not, trust the diseases of the body to illi-
terate quacks, neither can we consent to see the
most important interests of the mind intrusted to
people, who, by every word they utter, convince
us how totally unfit they are to be instructors who
themselves know nothing.
