THE LONDON JOURNALS.

12114AETT FROM THE DAI LY MORNING PAPERS,

August 16, 1822.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We have- strong reasons for believing that Mr.
Camping will positively go out to India. The
Aristocracy would no doubt derive much grafi&
citioufrom his presence on the Ministerial Bench.
" The wit and fancy which he possesses in so emi-
nent a degree bring them to the vote with a little
more satisfaction to themselves, and after two or
three hours passed over Mr. Bellamy's wine, a
hearty laugh in chorus, or a succession of rouz-
ing cheers, must form a very agreeable relief.
But the essentials can be furnished by a common-

place operator with equal efficacy, though not with
equal grace. Nothing can be more perfect than the
system is. The'hand too that feeds is always a wel-
come hand even to the roughest animals. But a cer-
tain Assembly is indeed very tame,—it may be
compared to the elephant which a little child
can lead. A better illustration of the univer-
sality of the conviction of this cannot, perhaps,
be afforded than we have in the notion which got
currency, some how or Other, yesterday on
Change, that Mr. Bragge Bathurst was to succeed
to the 'vacant office. We have no doubt that he
would give great satisfaction at Verona, and that
he would be received with enthusiasm on his re-
turn by a grateful House of Commons, provided
always nothing should befal the Holy Alliance
in the mean time.—lt is pretty confidently re-
ported that Lord Harrowby is to attend the
Congress.

[MORNING Pon.]
Nothing certain respecting the new Ministe-
rial arrangements can he known until his Ma-
jesty shall have signified his pleasure upon the
subject. It is not improbable, however, that the
new appointments will be announced in the Ga-
zelle of Saturday, or Tuesday next at farthest ;
neither is it unlikely that Lord Grenville, as
well as Mr. Canning, will be included in the
arrangements—an event at which the public will
hare ample cause to rejoice.

[MORNING HERALD.]
There is much speculation upon the question,
who shall succeed the late Marquis of London-
derry in his ministerial and diplomatic functions;
and what is somewhat curious, Journals of the
most violently opposed colour are agreed upon
one point relating to this matter—viz. that there
is no difficulty in adequately supplying his Lord-
ship's place. The ground of this opinion on the
one side is, that there was nothing extraordinary
in the capacity of the late Marquis. On the
other side, the thing is judged easy, because
every Member of the present Administra-
tion is i,pse, facto endowed with every talent.—
Without stopping to inquire into the agree-
ment or disagreement of these doctors, it strikes
us that the loss of the late Marquis, in his diplo-
matic character, is a serious embarrassment to the
Government and to the country ; lt,d one not
only difficult, but impossible to be adequately
supplied, even by the succession of a man of
equal, or superior talents. A British Mipister
taking his seat, for the first time, now, at a
European Congress, enters upon his functions
at the most serious disadvantages, He does
not enter upon the consideration of great
questions, as new to the other parties in
the game as to himself ; the discussions are a con-
tinuation of those that have been cn the tapis for
the last seven years, and, whatever may be his
knowledge of the proceedings during that period,
obtained extra fines, it impossible for him to
start with the same qualifications of knowledge
acid address as those who have followed,—or,
rather, conducted—the negociations from the be-
ginning. He will labour under the disadvantage
of• not having made his observations personally
on the characters of those with whom he has to
do.

LBRITISH PRESS,
The accounts which reach us through the
French and German Papers from the East begin
to assume an appearance of consistency and pro-
bability, and to bear something more of an au-
thentic character than has hitherto belonged to
them. It is highly grateful to our feelings to
accompany this observation with the expression
of our sincere belief that the cause of freedom
in Greece decidedly and gloriously trium-
phant. We see little reason to doubt that the
Grecian Senate possesses the force and order of
a regular Government, that as such it success-
fully claims the obedience of the greater part
of Greece, and that it controuls the movements
of an armed body, respectable in organization
and numbers. A Proclamation, addressed by
the Senate to the Greeks, announces with
confidence the progress of Grecian triumph. The
army of the Morea no longer confines its opera-
tions to the limits of the Peninsula, but has ad-
vanced upon Epirus and Thessaly, in the character
of liberators and avengers. Offensive operations
commenced in Thessaly on the 12th of April,
and we find an indisputable proof at the same
time of the navalsuperiority of the. Greeks in the
circumstance of their being enabled to transport a
Column of their armies by sea to the scene of action.
From the first day of their advance upon Thes-
saly, there seems to have been an almost incessant
conflict between the Greeks and their great
enemy, Hassan Paella, who was at the head of
10,000 Mussulmans. Success is claimed in every
action by the Greeks, and the general correctness
of the narrative. of 'their proceedings is best
proved by the eventual evacuation of the whole
province of Thessaly by the Turkish barbarians,
about the beginning of last June. • The Address
of the Greek Senate is an animating panegyric
upon their conduct, in redeeming the land of
their fathers' fronvthe pollution of the barbarians,
and a strong exhortation to perseverance.
