THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY

Extracts from the Morning Papers, Nov. 11.

[NEW TIMES.]
it appears by private but credible ad vices from
Spaha, that one frigate, two corvettes, and three
transports sailed on the 30th ult. from Cadiz fur
Ferrol and Corunna, to take hi troops for South
America. There is something ludicrous in the
idea of conquering all Spanish America, contain-
ing a population of nearly 17 millions, by means
of an expedition consisting of one frigate, two
Corvettes, and three transports ! On the other
hand, it is asserted that on the 9.d of September,
a contract was signed in Mexico, between that
Government and the Agents of an English house,
for a new loan of no less amount than sixteen
millions of dollars ! This is a tolerable set off
apinst the petty expedition from the Spanish
ports, even if the latter should ever cross
the Atlantic, which is not very probable.—
The contest in South America can never be de-
termined by any effort which the Crown of Spain
is capable of making ; its result must depend
wholly on the division of the Transatlantic parties.,
With respect to these we must own that our
views are by no means clear. Letters were 1
re-
ceived yesterday from Alvarado to the 18th Sep- I
tember, bringing intelligence from Mexico to the
11th of the some month ; but they convey little
matter of interest, The election of a President
of the Republic was shortly to take place, and it
was expected that General Vittoria would be
returned, who possessed greater influence than
the other candidate, General Bravo. The work-
ing of the mines is stated to be pursued with
great promise of success.

[THE TIM Es.]
Some of our correspondents, we observe, have
disputed the accuracy of our judgment as to the
inexpediency of printing the Bible for Irish use,
and in the Irish character and language. We
objected to such an application of the funds via
respectable and benevolent society, on the ground
that very few natives of Ireland were capable of
profiting by the book so circulated. We object

still to the undertaking alluded to; and, not

withstanding the statements which have been
• addressed to us on the same identical ground,
we do not believe, let agents and missionaries be
ever so sanguine upon the subject, that much, or
any progress has been made in teaching the poor
of the Irish people to read their native tongue.
It is, indeed, otoriously the colloquial language
of a large majority of the peasants ; but it is as
a spoken language merely that they have any
acquaintance with it. We always doubt the re-
ports transmitted by the agents for these societies,
in attestation of their own good works. When

we are told, for instance, though on authority
which may be most respectable, that " 8,000
g' adults were taught by the Hibernian Society
" to read the Irish language in the course of
one year," we only affirm that nothing is easier
than to say that so many " grown-up persons
were taught." We should like to see or hear
the evidence for this statement. In the name
of wonder, how many schools were opened ?
bow many masters paid? Eight thousand grown
pupils were no sinecure to their teachers. We
dwell the more seriously upon this circumstance,
because we happened to be in a room with a
certain individual who declared, not twelve
months ago, that he himself had taught 50,000
Irish to read their native language : when pressed
upon the subject, us to the when and where, con-
siderable variance began to show itself in the re-
plies of this learned and successful pedagogue.—
The more we squeezed him, the more his thou-
sauds oozed away from him, until at last he per-
spired so hard, that the whole mass fairly eva-
porated. Now we admit with great truth and
earnestness the impossibility that our respected
correspondents,on this question should have lent
themselves wilfully to erroneous or exaggerated
narratives ; but we are likewise bound to affirm,
that in almost every instance which has oc-
cOrred to us, the reports of persons employed
by charitable societies, especially where the
amount of instruction conveyed by them was
to be calculated, have called for very large
deductions before we could venture to act upon
them. Our opinion, in the present case, remains
unchanged—that few or no natives of Ireland,
beyond here and there a linguist curious in an-
tique lore, can read a word in the Irish character.
Then, as to the policy of striving to perpetuate
a language whose existence constitutes a formid-
able bar to the fusion of the sister nations ! Can
there be on such a point a second feeling ? If
we were interrogated what it is that most en-
hances the difficulty of reclaiming the people of
Ireland to English tastes, sympathies, and
habits, we should not perhaps say " differ-
ence of language only ;" but language
in its combination with other characteristics—
religion one—suffering 011 P--both exasperated
by traditions of which the Irish tongue has been
the vehicle ; but the best corrective of which
would be found in a facility of colloquial inter-
course with England, and a ready access to lier
literature. It is good to circulate the English
Bible—to circulate without attempting to forte
it by penalties, either active or negative, upon
the poor who may prefer the counsel of their
priest. But the English Bible will be most
studied and most valued among our Irish brethren,
when by justice, kindness, and humanity, they
shall have been farther removed than they now
are from the importunities and irritations of a
state approaching to famine.

[UMW attEss.]
Yesterday we received letters and papers
from Paris, dated Monday and Tuesday. From
our Cerrespondent we have given an interesting
letter, respecting the present aspect of political
affairs in France, The Elulla contains an article
on the evacuation of Spain, from which it appears
that that measure has been resolved upon defini-
lively. Th 4. French army will be withdrawn,
excepting from certain fortresses, pursuant. to the
stipulations of the Convention concluded on the
30th of July last. The wretched. Spaniards [nay
look forward to a winter of horrors.. With such

'agents of power as Gonzales, the Intendant of
Police, what enormities will not be perpetrated
—The wholesome restraint arising from the pre-
sence of the French will be gone, and unlimited
vengeance will be taken upon all who have, " by
any act whatever," manifested their repugnance
to the wild excesses of the leaders of the Faith.
In all probability the Inquisition will be re-
established, in order that the victims of despotism
may be condemned and punished with more se-
cresy and expedition.

[MORNING POST.]
IVe received last night, by express, French
Papers to the 9th instant, and the Etoile of
Tuesday. The latter takes up the defence of
the Ministers against their numerous assailants
of all parties, on the great question of the eva-
cuation of Spain. In doing so it skilfully avoids
the chief difficulty, which lies in the moral im-
possibility that if Spain be left to herself, fresh
efforts should not be made to overturn the
wretched tyrant whom it was the object of the
French invasion to replace and secure on the
Throne. This is the point on which both
Ultras and Liberals have made their prin-
cipal attacks. The one contending that all
the benefit produced by armed interference
in the affairs of the Peninsula will be lost
if the present measure be carried into execution ;
and the other charging the Ministers with double
folly in haying originally pursued a course the
errors and dangers of which had been fully point-
ed out, and after all owning themselves unable
to carry their object. In answer to these argu-
ments, the Eloile, or the Administration of which
it is the organ, does not attempt positively to dis-
prove the existence of danger to the present order
of things in Spain from the evacuation of that
country, but makes it a matter of treaty, and con-
tends that it is only fulfilling the conditions of
the arrangement concluded last June, which pro-
tracted the stay of the French troops in Spain
from the Ist of July to the Ist of January, 1825.
The occupation of the Spanish territory, it states,
being intended to cease at that period, the pre-
sent measure was neither new nor unexpected,
and betrayed no change of policy. This would
certainly be true, if at the time when the arrange-
ment of last June was concluded, it had been
clearly and positively settled that it should be a
final one. But it was well known then, that it
was merely temporary, and that Ferdinand meant
to apply for a fresh extension of the lease by
which he holds his Crown (for it is nothing
else) as soon as the time of its expiration should
approach. Indeed, that such an application was
lately made, has been openly stated in most of
the French Papers, and that it has been rejected,
is proved by the adoption or the present mea-
sure. The French Ministers certainly fulfil to
the letter, the terms of an existing Convention,
and are therefore duly authorised to act as they
are doing : but there is no doubt that when that
Convention was signed by Ferdinand, it was with
a degree of expectation, almost amounting to a
certainty, that it would be renewed if he made a
fresh application to that effect. Whatever the
Elate may say, therefore, will not conceal the
honourable fact that there has been a great de-
parture in this instance front the policy of Louis
X Vlll., and that Charles X. will not support in
his excesses of cruelty and despotism a Monarch
who has no other claim to his favour than a de-
gree of relationship which he disgraces.

[MORNING Il ERALD7)

The importance and value of the Press seem to

he -acknowledged on all hands. Even those who
hate it, how to its supremacy. In proportion as
this is the case, is it the duty of those who con-
duct it to consult its honour and character, toge-
ther
.with their own ; and, above all, never to
lend its mighty energies to improper purposes.—
Somethiug like this, however, is, we fear, some-
times done ; and a striking instance presents it-
self in the 'treatment which the late Lord Mayor
has experienced from some of our contemporaries.
During the whole period of Mr. Alderman Waith-
man's Mayoralty, the efforts of the Journals we
allude to have been indefatigable and unceasing in
endeavouring to draw down upon him all the con-
tempt and obloquy which could be invented. This
is, we couceive, au unmanly use of the Press; and
would call in return for severe castigation, had
not the individual against whom these shafts

have been levelled been able to repel them all by
the force of his own character and conduct. In
spite of all that has beets urged by these Jour..
nals to his disparagement, we will venture to say
that no man has gone through the Mayoralty, or
has left it with a higher and more unspotted re-
putation than Mr. Waithman. Withliispolt•tai-s
eat opinions e have nothing to do; because,
far as we have observed, they have on no one
occasion interfered with, or in the smallest de.
gree influenced his public duties. It
is
small praise for a man accustomed to amer-
cantile life, if, when called to the duties of
the Magistracy, he executes those duties with-
out material errors or mistakes. Now,
behalf of, Mr. Waithman, we may venture, woe
think, to challenge Lord Sidmouth's Harristers,and
ask, whether the duties.of the Justice Room at
the lthillhialt House have not been as well exe-
cuted as at any of the Police Offices. We are
not surprised that this should be the ease, be-
cause we know full well what professional hum-
bug is, and that plain good sense and right feel-
ings are worth ten times their weight of the
technical attainments which are covered by the
wig and gown. We woold by no means be
thought to undervalue professional acquirements,
but we know that in what are called the learned
professions, too many possess the name and the
degree without the qualities which should entitle
them to the oin or the other ; and that in most
cases plain good sense is of more value than any
thing which they who want it can produce.—
Mr. Alderman Waithman, as far as we have
been able to observe, has shown these
qualities, with no deficiency to boot of that
knowledge of the law which was necessary
for every day's practice. He appears to have
been calm and patientin his investigation of cases
that have come .before him ; acute and perspi-
cuous in his reasonings and judgments ; and,
above all, ready to succour the distressed, and

befriend those who were most in need of his
protection. Mr. Waithman neither expects, nor,
perhaps, will see this tribute to his merits. For
his politics we care nothing. But we think it
due to a man whom part of the Press has need-
lessly decried, to declare the utter impropriety
of such attempts, and to hail the firmness and
good sense of a public officer, who has thus been
enabled, by his irreproachable and laudable con-
duct to stultify and defeat the efforts of his de-
tractor.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
The chief subject of interest in the French pa.
pers, which reached us last night, is the reported
evacuation of Spain. This report will account for
the depression of the Rentes ; as there are many
who consider it as the forerunner of evil, whilst
we look upon it ourselves as the harbinger of
good. Ferdinand, who is a very obstinate
personage, when he sees danger at a distance,
is known to be very accommodating when it
approaches his sacred person ; and we have
not the least doubt but the departure of the
French troops will be the signal of a compro-
mise on his part between his tyrannical feelings
and the urgency of his situation. From a long
article in the Etoile of Tuesday's date, we are
confirmed in the opinion that the French Govern-
ment has resolved on carrying the great measure
into execution ; though we are not equally cer-
tain whether it be the effect of a sense of justice,
or of the growing difficulties in which it has
involved itself by interfering in domestic con-
cerns of Spain. We should wish, of course, that
the former were the motive ; but on this point
we have our doubts, though, as to the eva-
cuation itself, .we have none. This evident-
ly belongs to the description of rumours which
are sure to be promptly contradicted if false;
and the inference, therefore, from the silence
of the French Government, is obvious. In the
mean time, the most perfect concurrence seems
to prevail between the Court of the Tuilleries
and our own on this important subject; though,
where the idea originated, is not so clear. We
presume, however, that our Government may
claim the honour of having initiated the busi-
ness, and that the sole merit of the French is to
have acquiesced with a good grace. The occu.
pation of Spain by a French army is a great
eye-sore to this country ; and, besides other
objections, its inconsistency with our com-
mercial interests is of a character sufficient.
ly grave to induce us to insist that it should
be removed. As to its dangerous conse-
quences, they are, we believe, greatly over-
rated ; but, if they were not, this would, be
a more proper subject of consideration for
the Power, that gave the original provocation,
than for the Power that interposed its friendly
offices to avert it. If it be dangerous too, at
this time, it will be equally so three years hence;
whilst no one will venture to say, that the French
should retain permanent possession of the country,
lest their departure might occasion disturbances.
It w ill have a very different effect, we are persuad-
ed ; for the Serviles, seeing they are left to them-
selves, will not continue to have recourse to force,
in which they know they would be over-matched,
but to such arts as the difficulty of their situation
will recommend. In the mean time, the Con-
stitutionalists know, from experience, the danger,
as well as the uncertainty, of violent means of
redress ; and will not, we suppose, wantonly
throw away the prospect of better treatment,
which is held out to them at last.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The gentleman who at a professional meeting,
which we reported the other da announced
that " he had some thoughts of practising, ac-
cording to the Courts of Chancery Law, that is
to say, of burglariously entering and robbing
houses of ill fame, and forcibly taking from dwel-
ling-houses in general all specks of property of a
paw paw nature, or contra honor mores," may
commence operations whenever he pleases. When
thisingenious gentleman so delivered himself, he
was not probably aware of the full extent of this
security ; for though the Lord Chancellor had
declared that he would afford no protection to
the above ticklish description of property, still
some doubt, existed with respect to the Courts of
That doubt, however, is now removed, as
our renders will see from a decision given yester-
day in the Court of Common Pleas. We allude
to the case of De Wintze v. Hendriks.—
M. de Wintze is an ingenious foreigner, who,
knowing the enlarged views of the people of
England in what regards lending money,
and naturally conceiving that they would
draw their purses in behalf of the poor
Cyprians, were it only, out of gratitude for the
endearing recollections to which their name gives
rise,—was at the expenco of certain stamps and
certain engravings, and was at the trouble of
obtaining the necessary signatures, either in
London or Cyprus, with a view to raise a sum of
money for the noblest purposes, of which of
course he was to have the dismal. It so hap-
pened, however, that the hearts of the English
were shut against Mr. De Wintze and his
Cyprians, and some people went even so far
as to contend that the whole affair was a
fraud. Mr. De Wintze had deposited his cre-
dentials, and the instruments which
were to
hook the money from John Bull's pocket, in the
hands of Mr. Ilerrmann Hendriks, and, very na-
turally, when the bait would pot take, wished to
regain possession of them. Mr, Herrmann Hen-
driks, however, for certain weighty reasons wish-
ed to retain the and thus a controversy began.
m,
An action of trover was brought ; but the jury
found for the defendant Mr. Alendriks, on the
ground that the transaction was fraudulent. In
moving yesterday fora new trial,Mr.Seri.Pell said,
"he knew not on what principle thedefendant could
resist the claim on the ground that the property
was not valuable. That was a matter, as between
these parties, for the consideration of the plaintiff
alone
or sple raid diamonds sad Nether he had deposited mere bau-
bleswith the defendant,
could make no difference with respect to the
right to such property." 44 The stamps on the
scrip receipts, it was also observed, rendered
them property of value, and if they had been re.
turned to the Stamp Office, an allowance would
have been made to the plaintiff for them." The

Aw.

Lord Chief Justice, however, and the other
Judges were of opinion, that the instruments
sought back were instruments fabricated with a
view to obtain money fraudulently, and a new
trial was refused.

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

( From the Bury Gazette, Nov. 10.)

Foreign politics begin to wear an aspect of some
interest, and appearances indicate the speedy occurrence of
events, likely to furnish matter of deep and important specu-
lation. The present position of the affairs of Greece, excites a
feeling of universal sympathy ; the cause of Liberty and the
Cross, cannot be regarded with apathy by Freemen and Chris-
tians, and therefore in Britain there are but few who do not
wish a prosperous issue to the Greek cause : and it is by many
deemed a kind of heresy, not to believe the greeks, patterns
of every human virtue, super-saturated with the greatness
of their ancestors ; and their infidel masters, monsters of wick-
edness, ripe for perdition. We are not in the habit of yield-
ing to any popular outcry, and are free to confess, that
we have no great predilection for either of the contend-
ing parties. The disciples of Mahomet, the infatuated
zealots of a bloody faith we despise; the despotism of
his enthroned descendant we detest; were the whole race,
sultan and slave, swept from the face of creation, we hardly
think there could be cause for one sigh; but it does not follow
because the Turks are hateful, that the Greeks must be re-
spectable; and we can discover as little to admire in them, as
in their oppressors : we cannot give men credit for much Chris-
tian virtue, who are savage in their vengeance, deceitful in
their friendships, and dishonest in all their dealings, and we
firmly believe that the national character of the modern Greek,
is less estimable than that of any people in the civilized world.
It may suit the purpose of politival intriguers, Touters at ta-
vern dinners, and mouthing committee men, to extol the he-
roism of the Greeks and compare the Grecian ruffian of our
day, with Achilles, Themistocles, Alcibiades, and all the
host of illustrious dead, whom history and poetry hare
chided with immortality, and they may impudently decree the
palm to the living and dishonour the departed; it may serve
the muse of infidels and Atheists to laud the rude bigots of the
Greek isles, and call them Christians, suffering for conscience
sake; but who will they deceive? It is notorious, that it
would be libelling the faith we profess, to call the fooleries of
the Greek church- the religion of Jesus ;
_and not a shadow of
affinity can be discovered between the modern marauders of
Greece:, and the heroes, patriots, and philosophers, who made
for their country and themselves honour and renown. To the
shrinking repugnance we feel; to any alliance with the whis-
kered and turbaned persecutors of christianity, may be attri-
buted a!very large proportion of the good-will which pervades
this country in favour of the emancipation of the Greeks.; it is
enough that the Turks are their foes, to make all the Christian
world their friends ; and as far as the liberation. of a whole
people from an unjust and cruel thraldom is the question,
they have our cordial good wishes ; and were we possessed
of means to help them should have our aid ; but we must not
be blinded by our philanthropy, nor suffer our love of
liberty to render us insensible to truth and justice : the
cause of the Greeks is in itself holy, but the agents of that cause
are worthless, are mere pretenders to feelings which are strangers
to their hearts, are crafty men who strive to make religious fer-
vour and patriotic zeal subservient to their. own selfish views,
and assume the energy of virtue to promote a cause whose only
merit in their minds is that it bears the mark of rebellion.
What do the supporters of Hone, the vindicators of Carlile, the
impugners of the Trinity,.and the slanderers of the Church of
England, care for Christianity in any form ? nothing ; but, to
obtain for themselVes same popularity amongst beings of better
minds, the faith they denounce becomes their theme, and even
infidelity is disgraced by becoming the associate of hypocrisy.
What do thernob orators ofSmithfield, Palace-yard, or G uildhall,
know of the mighty ones of old, whose unchristian virtues won
for them eternal fame, in immortal verse, of which the patrons
of Greek treason never heard ? nothing, literally nothing.
They could as readily raise the devil, as even pronounce the
names of half the heroes they profess to honour. And yet these
are the men who think they give tone to the public mind, and
presume to hope an influence iii the hearts and understandings
of Englishmen. The plain truth is, the Greeks have revolted,
and revolt in any shape, whether provoked or causeless, whether
against a good Government, or an evil one, has an irresistable
charm in the eyes of the un-English faction, whose friendship
and patronage, has done more injury to the cause of Greece,
than the enmity of the Holy Alliance, or the aims of the
Turks. Abstracted from all considerations of religious fail',
or honourable ancestry, the Greeks deserve success, and will
obtain it ; for they arc enslaved and with their blood they
en-
deavour to achieve enfranchisement. They are ignorant, cruel,
and in many social relations worthless : but they burn wit 1
a desire for liberty, they are brave, and devoted to their coun-
try; their vices they derive from their oppressors, their vir-
tues are their own.

CAN A RIS, Tilt; GREEK CAPTAIN..--Though
the Greeks have of late gained the confidence and order
which have enabled them to carry on regular naval actions,
they have been indebted in this, as in former years, for
much of their advantages to the success of their tire-ships,
and for much of this success to the enthusiasm and self-devo-
tion of one man—Canaris—an inhabitant of the little islaud
of Ipsara, the devastation of which is the only triumph the
Turks have had to boast of. Ganaris is one of the most re.
markable men of modern times; and, not only for what he has
done against the enemy, but for the moral lesson which he has
set to his countrymen, is deserving of that immortality which
will be his reward. Canaris has been called by some foreign
journals an Admiral. He has never accepted that rank, from a
notion generally ve foreign to those to whom promotion is
offered, viz. that hens not fit for it. Having burned two Turk-
ish Conimanders.in.Chief, and defeated a third, he is, as he was
before, a Captain. Among a people who have like more advanced
and better established States, their full share of intrigue and ca.
pacity, he has offered a constant example of disinterestedness ;
m other words lie has proposed 'to himself as an end, to save his
country, and not to rob it. In going in his fire-boat against

In a flay M
1 GERANICUS exhibited at
in
IBERIUS, there were
tyhe reign of T
welve elephant performers, six males and six
'emales, clothed as men and women. After hay-

ing danced and performed many curious antics, a
sumptuous feast was served up for their refresh-
ment. The table was covered with all sorts of

ainties, and gold goblets filled with the most

precious wines, and beds covered with purple
carpets were placed around for the animals to lie

upon, after the manner of the Romans when
feasting. On these carpets the elephants laid
down, and at a signal given they reached out
their trunks to the table, and eat and drank with
US much propriety as if they had been well-bred
citizens.

On Thursday night, about nine o'clock, a
young man, a painter in town, from a disappoint-.
ment in love, threw himself into the Clyde,
nearly opposite Carlton Place. Being a good
swimmer, by walking and swinuniug alternately,
he soon reached the middle of the stream,
after which he either swam or was car-
ried down by the current. it appeared that
he had repented of his rash act when too late, as
he was heard to cry most vehemently for assist-
ance, when none could be afforded. By the
moonlight l►e was seen struggling hard for life.
He sunk at length under the Broomielaw bridge.
The body was. mgt found this fgrenoon.--(Glas-
gore Chronicle.) .
