TIIE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
:''.streets from the Morning Papers, Jan. 17.

[MORNING POST.]
We received last night by express. the Etude
of Thursday, with all the French Papers of the
day before. The most interesting article is one
from Trieste, announcing, on the authority of
letters from Corfu, that ail the English men of
war in the Levant had received orders to as-
semble at. Malta, to prepare for an expedition
against Tunis, the Dey of that place having re-
fused to restore the Greeks taken by his cruisers
on board British vessels and carried • into capti-
vity. On learning this intelligence the Tunisian
ships are said to have quitted the Turkish squa-
dron, in the Gulf of Lepanto, and to have
hastened back to the assistance of their So-
vereign. This alone would be an important
result, as it must compel the Turks to
abandon
,the blockade of Missolunghi, and de-
cides the campaign in favour of the Greeks in
that quarter. But we trust that it will not- be
the only advantage which it will secure to the•
cause of justice and humanity. .We trust that
this assemblage of. British vessels will not be a
mere demonstration, and that Tunis will be dis-
armed of that navy which it has only used for
piratical purposes. The Trieste article hopes
that the result of our expedition may be " more
decisive than that against Algiers.". We do not
well see how that can be. Not only was the
whole Algerine fleet destroyed by our arms, the
batteries laid in ruins, and the city saved from a
similar fate merely by a prompt surrender, but
all the Christian slaves throughout the Regency
were -liberated, and conveyed back in triumph
by our squadron to the various countries to which
they belonged. What could be more decisive
than this we are at a loss to conceive, unless it be
meant that we should have kept possession of the
place. This was undoubtedly in our power, but
the wish of showing the.world that we had acted
for the general , good, and net from interested
motives, induced us to restore. our conquest to its
ancient .masters after binding them by treaty to
refrain from those practices which had brought
dowii so severe a chastisement upon them, and
which we had destroyed their means of carrying
On for a number of years. in a fresh instance of
Arab insolence and atrocity, however, after in-
flicting condign punishment, we may be less dis-
posed, to trust to the strict observance of treaties
by Governments whose existence has been
proved to be so precarious. We may, therefore,
and we think we should, take the advice of all
the European natiops who blamed our former
forbearance, and by simply retaining our con-
!pests, give security to the subjects of all coun-
tries, and establish order, civilization, and Chris-
tianity on the coasts polluted for centuries by
the excesses of pirates and barh.,.trians.

[BRITIOI PRVIS]

The Courier of last night has come forward
with its eulogy on the prosecutors of Mr: Liunt.
f the 'Association, of - which Murray is the,or-
gall, needed any added taint of infamy to blast
them in the eyes of all honest and impartial- men,
it would be sure to follow from the praise of the
Courier. This paper. has over been a vile jackal!
ici the_train of corruption—its hollow bark haS
always announced the approach of the domestic
foe. 'Where is the measure that has been vir-
tuous this journal has ever applauded ? Where is
there any thing profligate or %.ile if has not eulo-
gized and supported for years ? Like Don Mat-
thias do Sylva, in Gil Bias, who wrote forged
billets dou.i' to himself, the Courier daily pro-
claims its false news and self-invented in-
telligence to those who are weak. enough
to swallow it ; it, blows its brazen trum-
pet in the public way, and, while the cheeks
of its mercenary are inflated with the effort, it
imagines the miserable puff succeeds, and that
hollow sound can be a substitute for both truth
and common sense. If the prosecution of Mr.
Hunt, as the publisher of Lord Byron's writings,
had been one demanded 'by public justice, the
Crown would have come forward on the occasion.
The first Law Officer was silent; and it is a
proof he. did not think the case was one that
called for his interference.- Let an indictment,
with its numerous counts and inuendoes, be pre-
pared, and there is no action ^of a man's life it
may not render criminal. No publication is safe
from legal sophistry, as no individual, Unsupport-
ed, can stand against the array and purses of an
Association with such a mercenary as Murray in
its train. If all the libels the Courier has ever
written against private and public character,
were made the subject of indictments, its ex-
istence would have long since ceased : if its ally,
the Sunday Paper, whose trade is defamation,
were prosecuted fe- all its nefarious slanders,
its managers would consume lheir.lives in jail;
and years in place -of months would he added to
their prison calendar. The poem in question I
was in bad laste, and can add nothing to Lord
Byron's fame. -It was forgOtten when this pro-
secution called its memory .up again, 'and ;
every stanza is now in the hands of thousands:—
But Lord Byron's faults, whatever they were,
should not have been visited on his publisher.--
ft was a crusade worthy only of the gang from ;
whom its malevolence proceeded : all their efforts
have been of the same description—they never
yet flew at higher game. Has the Liberal ever
been half so vile as the pages of Blackwood ? •
Could any thing excel the infamy of the Beacon,
the &Wind, the John Bull . Yet these pulica-
tions have passed, in a great degree, unnoticed !
But they are the Gazettes of Murray and his
crew : their principles and their objects are the
same ; and such a Press, however licentious,
publishes its slanders with impunity, while a
solitary bookseller on the other side is imme-
diately hunted and run down. This Messrs.
Murray and Adolphus call Justice !.

[BIORNING cintorticLE)

We have been favoured with a file of the Ga-
zette of the Government of Guadalajara, capital
of the free State of Xalisco, in Mexico, relating
to the dissensions between the Assembly and that

Province, and the Congress and Government of
the capital, on the subject of the plan of Federa-
tion recommended for the.general adoption of all
the Provinces of that valuable section of Ame-
rica. From these Papers we have made some
translations, which will be found in another part
of our columns (see another part of THE SUN),
and the first open day we shall publish the re-
mainder, with some introductory observations.—
This series of documents will be found more in-
teresting and explanatory than any thing that has
hitherto reached us from the same quartor ; more
particularly the letter from Gen. Negrette, whose
frank and manly language cannot fail to be ad-
mired. The whole, nevertheless, discloses an
important fact, which ought not to be hidden
from the people of this country, and this is, that
hitherto no other than a provisional form of Go-
lernment has been established in Mexico, and
that, on the subject of its future organization, the
provinces are by no means unanimous.

• [THE TIMES.]
We witness with extreme concern the violent,
and it is to be feared, the growing irritation in
. the minds of our fellow-subjects of the West
India colonies, on the question of British inter-
ference in the relations
.between planter and
slave. The present instance of this unfortunate
spirit is one which occasions more regret, because
the scene of its activity is the valuable island of
Jamaica. It appears by the Royal Gazette of
the 15th of November, - that a bill has been
brought into the House of Assembly for the re-
peal of the Registry Act, which is strongly in-
veighed against by all the Members who speak
upon .it as a measure at once obnoxious,
expensive, and useless. Now, undoubtedly,
great indulgence—nay, tenderness—ought to
be exercised, not only by Parliament in its
measures, . but by individuals in their judg-
merits, towards a body of men whose lives and
fortunes they themselves consider to be deeply
.compromised by that policy of which they com-
plain. But we do confess that the repeal of the.
Registry Act seems neither justified nor fully
explained, by the arguments adduced in favour
of the proposed Bill, by the Gentlemen of the
Jamaica Assembly. The repeal is not recom-
mended on the simple ground of the mischiefs
inherentiln: the Registry Act itself, but as a Mode
of taking revenge the Abolitionists, for their
-imputed scheme of finally ruining the planters ;
and on the Ministers, for an alleged breach of faith,
in countenancing,. as they unquestionably have
done, the project of emancipation, after pledging
themselves to the colonists, that in enforcing the re-
gistry of slaves, they entertained no thought of
further interference. between them and their pro-
prietors. It would be more consistent and praise-
worthy in the. planters to show their disappro-
bation of the _corning measures by some different
means than by declaring
war against the past...—
ft is, nevertheless, the shuffling and subservient
.
policy of Ministers that is the real origin of the
mischief, bring blown about one day by the
murmurs of the 'West India interest, and the
next (las, by the threats and denunciation of its
enemies ; so that neither party knows what to
rely upon as the system which Government will
steadily pursce.

' [NEW TINIES.I
[ / Yesterday was the settlity;'
and as yet only one failure, in
day in Consols
-') addition to those
noticed in our last, has been announced. Consols
for the next Account opened in the Morning at
' 87i, and from tha•t reached 8811,
at which they
closed. It must be recollected that the half-
year's dividend of If per cent. was deducted
from the market price of ve t"l.il
' -ay ; taking which
into consideration there will be
found 01) ltil.!
provensent of nearly one half percent. in
Consols
for the 26th Fe b. from their closing price of Thurs-
day. A. day or two since we noticed that. Consols
for the next Account were three-eighths per cent.
higher than for the Account which closed yester-
day ; but the demand for Money Stock has since
been so great, that Consols for Money were in
the course of yesterday an eighth per cent.
higher than for Time :—a most convincing
proof this of the unprecedented plenteousness
of money, and a complete answer to the war
rumours of one of our coternporaries. The
business done in the Foreign Securities yes-
terday was prety considerable ; Spanish Bonds
improved a little in value, as did the Bonds of
Colombia and Chile.—The Paris Journals to
Wednesday night have been received. •The most
interesting intelligence contained in them is a
corroboration of former advises, in which it was
mentioned, that a British naval expedition was
about to proceed to Tunis, to demand satisfac-
tion for an insult offered to our flag. The
French Ratites closed on Wednesday at 941.
20c. Spanish Bonds 251. An article from
Vienna in the Etoile of Wednesday remarks
that since the successful termination of the war
in Spain, the prices of Austria Stock have sensi.
bly improved in all the markets of Europe. The
funds of the Monte-Lombardo-Veneto at Milan,
have risen to 884, and the Metalliques at
Vienna to 834. From Constantinople, it is
said, that the Captain Pasha is busily employed
in refitting the 15 vessels which he brought back
with him (and which are- said to have suffered
from a tempest), and that he will put to sea
again without delay.
