DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,

February 2, 1822.

[THE TIMES.]
Dispatches, dated the 11th of January, have
been received by Government from St. Peters-
burgh. We learn also by advices from Paris, of
Wednesday last, .that several couriers arrived
there on that day, one of whom was to the Rus-
sian Embassy, and understood to be from the
Imperial Court. The intelligence thus conveyed
may not entirely remove the doubtsti entertained
by many of the issue of the negociations between
Russia and Turkey, but it is, we are assured;
essentially, pacific. What is the precise form,
too, in which the Russian Cabinet has signified
its acceptance of the propositions tendered by
Turkey, is withheld ; but it is freely asserted in
the best informed circles both of London and
Paris, that the new modifications, if any, are so
unimportant that no further impediment remains
in the way of adjustment. We have all along
prepared our readers to expect this result.

It is affirmed, as a set-off against the melan-
choly events in. Ireland. that one or two parishes
contiguous to Macroom have sent deputations to
the Magistrates, offering to surrender their arms.
We should be gratified to hear of any proof that
the bad spirit of the peasantry was really sub-
siding. But whatever momentary purpose the
inhabitants of certain parishes may have in view
by offering tokens of submission, while the head-
quarters of the district and a numerous garrison
are in the midst of them, we are ourselves in-
credulous as to the point insisted on, viz. the
sudden conversion of these misguided men to
principles of peace and subordination. Outrages
of a serious nature, we lament to find, have oc-
curred in the immediate neighbourhood of Kil-
kenny,. and proceeding manifestly from the same
spirit which has set the greater part of the pro-
vince of Munster in commotion. What a pic-
ture to be laid' before Parliament does Ireland
now disclose !—(lbid.)

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The Special Commission will shortly be opened
in the city of Cork. The gaols of that city un-
fortunately contain many prisoners who will be
made the subjects of capital indictments. The
shooting of the prisoner Buckley has not yet
been investigated, and undoubtedly if it should
be suffered to pass without inquiry, the peasants
of Ireland will have great cause to complain of
the want of equal justice. The body was bu-
ried without the previous holding of an inquest,
to ascertain the causes of the death, although it
is certain that the Coroners in the city of Cork
had been apprised of the melancholy occurrence
in sufficient time for the proper discharge of
their duty. It will belong to the Grand Jury
of the county, assembled at the opening of the
Special Commission, to present this instance of
neglect, and the Judge will not fail to mark
the circumstance in a proper manner. It would,
we are convinced, contribute more towards re-
storing the tranquillity of the southern counties
of Ireland, if those who killed Buckley were
publicly brought to trial for this charge, than if
fifty of the deluded peasantry were executed by
Way of striking a terror into their companions.—
It u ill not be easy to terrify men who venture,
almost naked and without arms, to face the King's
troops in the field ; but it would teach them to
place a higher value than they now do upon their
lives,. if they saw that they might repose upon
the protection of the laws, and that they were
not, in fact, reduced to the necessity which they
now universally seem to feel, of forming illegal
associations in defence of their persons and pro-
perties. _

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
Another County Meeting, that of Hertford-
shire, was yesterday held.—A Resolution on
the subject of Reform was withdrawn in corn-
pliment IQ some Gentlemen who were hos-
tile to such : .a measure, though favourable
to retrenchment. In Hertfordshire, as in every
other County, the Yeomanry are decidedly
in favour of Reform ; and h td the Resolution
been pressed, it would, no; doubt, have be'en car-
ried by an overwhelming majority.—That Re-
trenchment without Reform will never be ob-
tained, is.what few reflecting persons will hesi-
tate to admit; for as they who oppose Reform
know well that it would soon folloW in .the train
of Retrenchment, they will cling to abuses' "to the

[MORNING POST.]

Private advices have been received from the
Morea, which make 'it appear that differences
had arisen among the Greeks, with respect to
the form of Government to be given to their
country. A - portion had proposed to declare
Prince Demetrius Ypsilanti, King of Pelopon-
nesus ; but this plan was opposed by many, at
the head of whom was a Greek Chieftain, named
RObolini, who supported .the establishment of a
republic. It was feareit.that this difference
might lead to serious and disastrous consequences,
and that one body of the Greeks might even take
up arms against-the other.- Prince Ypsilanti was
himself at Argos towards the close of December,
where he possesSed a very considerable force; the
garrison amounted to from 3000 ;to 4000 men.—
Another leader of distinction, named Colcotrini,
was also there, having come from Patras, which
was attacked by the Turkish vessels of war.—
A large number of armed vessels mere cruising in
the neighbOurhood-of Argos. An English vessel
near Napoli had been fired upon by them, and
would probably have been captured, but for the
unexpected appearance of the' Cambrian British
frigate in the offing. The Greeks abandoned
the attack; and were-endeavouring to make off,
but they were detained by the Cambrian, the
Captain of which insisted upon being informed
why the attack had -been made. The 'Greeks
could give no satisfaCtory account of the trans-
action. What was the result we are not in-
formed. At Napoli di Romana the inhabitants
were in total ignorance of -the state of the war
between the Greeks and the Turks : they had
no communication with Constantinople for some
months. •

We revert to the subject of the Suffolk Meet-
ing. Suffolk is a county where agricultural dis-
tress may naturally be expected to fall more
heavily than in many other parts of the kingdom.
In extent, it is nearly similar to Somerset, Hamp-
shire, and Essex, to all three of which, however,
it is considerably inferior in wealth. The best
comparison may be instituted between Suffolk
and Essex ; and we have therefore extracted
from various Parliamentary documents the fol-
lowing short tables :

POOR RATES, average of two years,
ending 25th March, 1820 . - 316,130
A slight inspection of these comparative state-
ments will suffice to shew, that though the two.
counties are nearly in the same degree agricultu-;
ral, (each employing in that pursuit consider-
ably more than half o its population), yet the. one
is far less able to sustain a pressure on its farming
resources than the . other. Essex, on 41 square
milei less than Suffolk, maintains 18,000 more
inhabitants : its greater natural fertility is shown
in all the different species of grain, and from
this circumstance, as well as from the greater
proximity to the best market (the metro-
polis), the income which it draws from
land exceeds that drawn from the same source.
by Suffolk, as 9, to 7; and though the poor-rates
of Essex are positively greater than those -of
Suffolk, yet relatively to tie property on which
they are charged, they are much lighter.—All
these considerations tend to prove, that the agri-
culturists of Suffolk have a peculiar claim on
the attention of their fellow-subjects ; and when..
ever that claim is urged fairly and honestly,
with no other views than those of humanity
and justice, it will be sure to be regarded
by the Legislature, and by the Country at
large, with the most cordial coMplacency. But
the case is very diffi,rent, when. clamour and
faction intervene.' Then the interest of the farmer
is the last thing thought of. Disappointed am-

bition and sellish

Inundate the Ciovei'nrrient, only pave the Way. for
barefaced radicalisui to assail the established
Order of society, and to bloW into the air the very
fOundations of property. :While the squeaking
treble pipes out " No taxes,", it. is drowned in
the hoarse bass of " aiwn with the rents!"

[MOIINING lIERALD.I
We have of late observed, that the ac'counts
from Dundee and its neighbourhood have been
particularly favourable, as relating to a great de-
mand for the coarse linens made in that district
of Scotland. It is not, however, to he wondered
at, for the prices have, within this last year or
two, been lower than at any other period within
the last forty years. It is an old, and a very
just vetuark. on the subject of trade,' that,whom
things are at the lowl-st they will mend the
reason is 'obvious—the very low price of any
thing will not only make it desirable for the
home consumption, but will cause the article to
force its way into all, parts of the- world, All
people are fond of an article when it is down.;
right.cheap, and they will not be afraidof holding
it, nor of ordering it from the country where it
has been produced. Besides, when any thing is at
one-half of the usual price, one-half of the money
will, of course, compass it. It may appear para-
doxical; but in a national point of vieW, as it re-
gards a manufacturing nation, it is good for its
manufactures to be occasionally at very depre-
ciated prices; for what is the result of a very low
price ? It is worth every body's money, in every
part of the world, and its very lowness of price
will cause it to force its way through every ob-
stacle. In the poorest countries people are ena-
bled to purchase and to get into the habit of
wearing a useful article, Which, for the first
time, probably, may have been introduced at a
very low price; whereas, had it been introduced
at a high price, their means could not have af-
forded it; and when once a people adopt the use
of any thing; it becomes a custom, and then they
cannot do without it.
