F.XTRACTS PROM THE DkILY MOENING PAPERS,.

May 10, 1822.

[THE TIMES.]
French papers of Tuesday arrived by express
:ast night. They treat of past, and speculate on
future wars. The late duel comes under the
head of the former, and the affairs of Russia and
the Porte under that of the latter. Certain re-
ports being afloat in favour of an amicable ar-
Yangement of the differences between the Powers
in question, such reports are dissatisfactory to
the Comillatimid, the Editor of which even
argues against the power of the Emperor of Rus-
sia to controul the zeal of his people and his
armies for war. The debate on Mr. Canning's
recent motion for admitting Catholic Peers into
the upper House of Parliament occupies some
columns of the Journal des Debais. There is also
a Royal ordinance for the employment of mili-
tary force to put a stop to the conflagrations in
the departments of the Oise, the Somme, and
the Enre.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

The Turk; may well lend a deaf ear to their
Christian advisers. They cannot conceal from
themselves that /et them turn which way they
will, there is a charged mine beneath their feet.
The Russian preparations in one quarter—their
Persian enemy in another—require to be met
with corresponding preparations, while the indi-
genous population of their European Empire,
equally brave with themselves, and tutored by
European skill, is every where gaining the upper
hand. Negociation might avail them, if they
had not such a formidable enemy-as the Greeks
on their hands ; but why should they in this state
of things send a Plenipotentiary to Leghorn ? 1 t
is, we understand, a rule with the Turks, never
to uegeciate beyond their own territories ; but if
they should depart from this rule, it would only
add to the duration of the negociation, because
every thing would have afterwards to be de-
liberated on at Constantinople. They know that
while they might thus be negociating, the Greeks
cannot possibly listen to any proposals for nego-
elation, even if their fresh recollection of the
massacre of the inhabitants of the Morea, in vio-
lation of the most solemn treaty, about 30 years
ago, occasioned by the interference of England,
would allow them to trust to treaties, and that
their destruction would be as inevitable from
that quarter as from any other.

[MORNING POST.]
The consideration of the Agricultural Resolu-
tions was again resumed last night, in a Com-
mittee of the whole House. The final result we
have‘no doubt will give general satisfaction, even
to the landed interest; and, unquestionably, if
the most patient investigation of the subject, and
the candid discussion of every suggestion, from
whatever quarter, ought to content the public,
all classes will have reason to be so on this occa-
sion. It has indeed been the manifest study of
ParliaMent to leave no means untried which pre-
sented any expectation of 'benefit, and only to
adopt what might come out of the Committee
well filtered and unexceptionable. Every propo-
sition was received, examined, and successively
disposed of by a process similar to the scientific
method of exclusions, till at last the true result
was found. The Debate last night accurately
-depicts this anxious solicitude to acs satisfactorily
and usefully. Scarcely a new-view remained to
be broached, but the details and bearings of
those which had been previously advanced were
scrupulously sifted to the very bottom. One ob-
jection, which several Members made in the
course of the repeated Debates which have taken
place, the Marquis of Londonderry set aside
with his usual skill. It was argued that not-
withstanding such a high import price as 705.,
together with a duty of 12s. and also an ad-
ditional one of ss. per quarter for the first three
months, the very low rate of grain over the con-
tinent would allow the importers, under those
circumstances, an immense profit, and therefore
our market would be liable to an extreme glut
of foreign produce.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The debate upon the Resolutions submitted to
the of Commons for regulating the impor-
tation in foreign corn, was resumed again last
night. The rejection on the previous night of
the Resolutions proposed severally by Sir I'.
Lethbridge and Mr. 13enett, enabled the House
to bring its reasoning powers with more concen-
trated force to the two questions which should
properly occupy its attention :—First, 'Whether
the system of totally excluding foreign corn until
the price. shall have risen to a certain average
price, ought to be preferred to a free trade,
subject to duties ? and second, What ought to
be the extent specified in money, to which
eprotection, in either of these modes, ought to
be carried ? Of the project of total exclu-
sion until the market price shall arise to a
certain average amount, the Marquis of Lon-
donderry, as the organ of the Agricultural
Committee, is the avowed champion ; while the
advocates for a free trade, subject to duties, find
their sentiments expressed with some shades of
difference in the Resolutions of Mr. Ricardo and
Mr. Huskisson. Mr. Ricardo, however, has
given up his Resolutions, with the exception of
the two last, in favour of those of Mr. Huskisson ;
so tnat the discussion of last night was conducted
with a direct or tacit reference to the relative
merits of the plans severally proposed by the
Marquis of Londonderry and Mr. Huskisson.
