and Silk at Water-grass-hill, soon after they had escaped;
and only, a few days since, Hartnett was arrested in Clon-
mel, after a search for him through most parti of Ireland,
which had been so judiciously kept up by Mr. Welsh's arrange-
meats, that he could not much longer have eluded it. At the

whose previous habits would natutally lead him to join the
ranks of insurrection, -and there render him desperate.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

IXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,

March 13, 1322.

[MORNING lIERALD.I
it is with much pleasure we perceive that his
Dlajesty has come forward to contribute towards
the reduction of the annual expenditure of the
country, and though the sum be not great, yet it
is the example which is set that we are particu-
larly pleased with. The Civil List altogether
does not amount to more than about a million,
out of which his Majesty has to pay the Judges,
the Ambassadors, and a great variety of other
expences ; after such expences are paid, we have
been given to understand that the King has not,
applicable to his personal expenditure, more
than from a quarter to half a million a year,
-which, in comparison with the total expenditure
of the country of fifty-five millions, or in compa-
rison with the taxation required to pay the inte-
rest of the National Debt of thirty millions, is a
mere nothing. And yet the Opposition speakers,
boat in and out of Parliament, for a great
length of time past, have been expatiating upon
every occasion on the truly trivial expenditure
of the Crown ; whilst they have been almost
dumb in regard of the great expenditure of the
National Debt ; and why ? In the taxation re-
quired to pay the expenditure of the Crown, they
are not interested ; but in the taxation required
to pay the interest of the National Debt, they
are almost all of them interested, either directly
or indirectly. The secret reasoning in their breasts,
no doubt, has been—" if we touch the expen-
diture of the Crown, we please the people—in;•
crease our popularity—add do not suffer in our
income ; but if we touch the other, namely, the
interest of the Debt, the people, in all probabi-
lity, will not thank us, and we knock off so much
of our own or our friends' incomes." And here
we may be allowed to do justice to his Majesty's
Ministers, as to the means they are about taking
to reduce the annual taxation required to pay the
interest of the 5 per Cents. We like the prin-
ciple of attacking the Debt when it can be fairly
done, by paying it off, or reducing the interest,
supposing people prefer not being paid off ; and
if this could be effected on the whole of the Debt,
it would be an excellent thing for the country.

[MORNING POST.]
The magnanimous conduct of his Majesty, in
giving up no less than 30,0001. per annum of the
sum allotted to his own immediate private com-
forts (being a reduction of ten per cent. on his
nett personal income), was yesterday the theme
of universal panegyric throughout the metropolis,
as it will not fail to be in every part of the
United Kingdom ; the more especially when it
is known that it has been from the generous ex-
ample of his Majesty the country has experi-
enced the advantages of a proportionate relin-
quishment of income on the part of all the High
Officers of State. The following is a correct
statement of the calculations of savings thus ef-
fected, as made by the Chancellor of the Exche--
quer, on Monday night :
By Superamnint ion, deduction on Government Offices,

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The independence of the Officers of the Eng-
lish Army was completely annihilated by the
assumption, on the part of Ministers, to dismiss
them, and confiscate their property without cause
assigned, and the sanction given by the House of
Commons to this doctrine. We deeply lamented
at the time the consequences to which the dis-
missal of Sir Robert Wilson could not fail to
lead. We lamented the stigma which was thus
so unnecessarily cast on the Army. "It pro-
claimed loudly, we observed, to the world, that
whoever entered the service of this country must
renounce for ever all generous and liberal senti-
ments, and consider himself as a blind instru-
ment in the hands of his employers, who must,
on every occasion and in every place, utter no
sentiments, and do no act which may, by possi-1
bility, be disagreeable to them ;" and we re-
gretted that " the idea, that from the peculiar
principle on which our army was formed, corn.
preßending men whose stake in the country
was deep and of every party, we had an im-
portant guarantee for the safety of our Con-
stitution, must now be abandoned."—When
we expressed these sentiments, we knew but
too well that all confidence on the part of the
people in the Officers of our Army would be for
ever shaken. We knew that no man, not abso-
lutely a fool, could believe that Officers possess-
ed-any exemption from this operation of the cir-
cumstances by which other men are influenced.
Ile who holds his property at the caprice of ano-
ther will naturally study his caprice. Some
stern individual, superior to ordinary consider-
ations of prudence, obedient only to the dic-
tates of the strictest principle, and ready not
merely- to encounter want and penury himself,
but to devote wife and children to them at the
call of duty—some individual of this description
will, no doubt, now and then arise to honour our
nature. The Senates of t!n! Roman Emperors
sometimes contained one virtuous man ; Carnot
had the courage to oppose the ambition or Buona-
parte. But these instances of superiority to the
motives by which mankind are ordinarily go-
verned ought certainly to have no influence on
our calculations.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The Navy Five per Cents. Bill was read a se-
cond time yesterday evening in the House of
Lords without a division. Some of their Lord-
ships, however, expressed a very strong opinion

upon the illegality of the projected scheme, and
asserted the incompetency of the Ministers and
of Parliament, in conformity with the sound
principles of justice, to reduce the Five per.
Cents. until twenty-five millions of the debt in
the other Stocks had been paid off. The pro-
priety of delaying the further progress of the
measure until the opinion of the twelve Judges
were taken upon this point, was forcibly urged ;
but the Ministers, including the Lord Chancellor,
expressing their conviction of the perfect legality
of the measure, the suggestion for delay was dis-
regarded by the House. It was stated very
distinctly by the Earl of Liverpool, that nothing
had occurred to his knowledge in the affairs of
Europe, since the first day of this Session of Par-
liament, which could excite in his mind an appre-
hension of a war; and he further admitted, that
if there were any probability' that the peace of
Europe should be at all disturbed, the plan nnw
submitted to Parliament and the public ought not
to be adopted. Such an opinion, falling from so
high an authority, must have a considerable effect
in satisfying Europe that the negociations pend-
ing between Russia and the Porte are not likely
at the present moment to lead to hostilities.

NEW TIMES.]
The nation will at once feel the warmest grati-
tude to the Sovereign who, for the public relief,
so nobly limits his own income ; and it will tes-
tify the most indignant reprobation of the un-
worthy attempts made to derogate from the merit
of the sacrifice. The Morning Chronicle has the
hardihood to assert, that the announcement of
the King's liberality was received coolly by the
House of Commons. We really look upon this
as a gross injustice to the honourable feelings of
the House. In point of fact, the announce-
ment was received, as it ought to have been,
with loud and enthusiastic 'cheers. The con-
duct of Ministers also, in recommending a
reduction of their own salaries, and those
of the Great Officers of the Household, will
not fail to be justly appreciated by a ge-
nerous people. The duty of framing the Super-
annuation Bill has, as we have before observed,
been in many respects a painful one ; but to the
principle of the Bill we do not see any objec-
tion. A pamphlet was some time since written
(probably by some Clerk likely to be affected
by the measure) on the erroneous assumption
that the Bill was to touch vested interests. This
description cannot properly be applied to sala-
ries, although it undoubtedly may to pensions;
and therefore the question which Mr. Hume is
reported to have put, whether the measure was
intended to apply to pensions, evinced a confu-
sion of intellect not uncommon with that Hon.
Member.

[THE TIMES.]
The most accurate account possible of the
debate of Monday night on the subject of re-
trenchment, will still, we fear, leave the public
much in the dark respecting the detail of the
plan to be pursued. It is the faculty of genius
to simplify and render intelligible that to which
it applies itself. There is another quality greatly
distinct from genius, if not its. very opposite,
which effects its object by dark, intricate, and
confused methods ; and under the direction of
this latter quality it is that our financial con-
cerns are now conducted ; so that nothing
plain or simple is to be expected in them.
—lt is hardly worth the while to travel
through the windings of the superannuation
provisions ; suffice it to say, that the general
principle is, that the officer on his retire-
ment shall receive one-twelfth of the full offi-
cial salary for every five years he has been in
active employment, starting from the time when
he shall have served ten years. But the public,
it seems, paying at present about ten per cent.
for superannuation allowances, and the proposed
plan only requiring upon an average about half
that sum, a saving of the other half will of course
accrue. Whether this is or is not a confused mode
of setting about retrenchment, we leave to the
world to decide. On certain Government Of-
fices 6 per cent. of superannuation is to be
deducted, and the amount of this saving is
estimated at 12,0001. ; on revenue depart-
ments 4 per cent., saving 66,0001.: besides
these sums, there is to be an immediate reduc-
tion of offices to the amount of 15,0001. (no great
sum.) The Officers of State contribute 20,000/.;
the Civil List yields 25,0001; and his Majesty
himself surrenders 30,0001. From the two last
items, it appears that 55,0001. is deducted from
a Civil List of upwards of 800,0001., that is,
nearly 7 percent., while the sum total of the de-
ductions May be taken at 10 per cent.: the value
of money, as Lord fiverpool stated, having in-
creased at the rate of 25 per cent. The sum total
under all the heads of retrenchment for the Eng-
lish service is 168,000/. Mr. Bankes and Mr.
Marryat objected, and as we think justly, to
the superannuation system altogether, as well
as to the deductibn of salaries in aid of the
Superannuation Fund.

We are not accustomed to meddle with Court
intrigues, our anxiety and attention being chiefly
directed to the politics of the nation. However,
as every body is talking on the subject, we may as
well mention that Sir Benjamin Bloomfield is
understood to quit Carlton-house. Lord Francis
Conynghain succeeds to Sir Benjamin's functions,
or some of them, thcugh not nominally to his
place, as it is said there is not in future to
be a private
,Secretary, but only a Secretary
(or some such thing) of the Privy Purse.
We. give this news as we have heard it re-
ported. The Moral to be deduced from any
sudden dismisSal or disgrace at Court is useful.
Such incidents should teach men of real talents,
in a free State, to apply themselves to honour-
able professions for their support, and to leave
the arts of thriving by personal subserviency to
the base and frivolous.—(Mid.)

Mr. PLUNKETT, in an answer to a letter from
Mr. O'GoamAN, says, " that the present mo-
ment is not favourable to the discussion of the
Catholic Question. I trust I need not add, that
my sense of the necessity and pressure of the
measure is unaltered and unalterable."
