In consequence of Information communicated

been stolen front different parts of the country, an inquiry
has been instituted by direction of Mr. •Itswraiktsoat, and
lillaples the officer, thus employed, has been engaged three
entire days in visiting numerous suspicious places in riltfe-
rent parts of the town which were known to be occasionally
used as places of depot for this kind of property. As respects
the particular horses for which the search was made, the in-
quiry has been unproductive of any good; but a -mass of

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from -the Morning Papers, Oct. 23.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
in the Paris Papers of Wednesday, which we
,received last night, we find the direct attacks on
the Ministry partially suspenaled, by the dis-
cussions concerning . the burial of the actor
Phillippe. The Journal dcs IWhais will not suffer
any thing to interfere with its hostility to M. de
Villele, and " the Minister Corbiere," as we
dare call him on this side of the channel, though
the venerable Legend re lost his pension for his
disrespectful familiarity with his Excellency's
name. A Ministerial Paper has published a de..
fence of the conduct of its patrons, to which the
Journal des Di:bats replies with great force and
address. We must confess, that in our opinion
more is attempted to be made of the victory than
it deserves ; for the ministerial defence was but a
flimsy production. 'What are we to think of a
writer who justifies the scandalous proceedings
at the last elections in this manner :—The Mi-
nisters are crirninated for their conduct at the
elections, though they secured a legal majority,
and though the septennial system will necessarily
prevent for a long time the recurrence of the al-
leged abuses?"

:von tali auxilio, nee defensuribus istis Tempus eget.
ln these Papers we have, as usual, from the
.si/adrid Gazelle, intelligence of the always ap-
proaching downfall of Bolivar ; but we suspect,
nevertheless, that it will be yet some time be-
fore they " hang " him. We have from the
Levant more gratifying and credible news with
respect to the triumphs of the Greeks over their
barbarian and apostate foes. There can be no
doubt as to the visit of Sir Frederick Adam to
Missolonghl,and the re-establishment of friendly
relations between the English and Greeks.—
By the letters from Corfu, it appears that the
Greek Senate revoked their offensive proclama-
tion on the 3d of Sept. 0. S., which corresponds
with the 15th of that month, according to our
mode of computation. The Proclamation of the
Lord High Commissioner was issued on the 6th,
but was never carried into execution, as the
promptitude and vigour of the measure fortu-
nately led the Greeks to retrace their steps. The
French journalists were, therefore,disappointed of
the pleasure they expected to derive front the
spectacle of Christian vessels destroying each
other, for the amusement and benefit of the Mus-
sulmans.

[THE Toms.]
The French Papers of Wednesday, which ar-
rived last night, are chiefly filled with specula-
tions on the policy of Al blisters, and the points
of difference between them and their opponents
of both sides. In carrying on the war against M.
de Villele and his colleagues, the Ultras and the
Constitutionalists have joined forces, the former
becoming more liberal,and the latter more inclined
toßoyalist doctrines. Even the popularity of the
new King is converted into a sort of bulwark,
behind which this host intrenches itself, that it
may more securely direct its missiles against his
Ministers. A pamphlet, written by a young Li.
beral writer of the greatest talent (M. SiaNewly),
entitled The New Reign and the Old Ministry,
contains doctrines which seem to unite the suf-
frages and beauties which excite the admire-
tiou of both parties. The Royalists adopt
its praise of the Bourbons, and the Liberals
acquiesce in its severe strictures on the Ca-
binet. Hear how to please their new friends
the Constitutionalists now speak of Charles
X. :.^44 Thus a Prince, who was at tho head of
" the emigrants, restores to us the immunities
66 which the Conqueror of Marengo destroyed.—
" Tl•lis Prince understands, better than the all-
" powerful son of the revolution, his age, and his
66 country." If this Prince preserves his present
Councillors amid the personal flatteries and mini-
sterial vituperations of such an opposition, he will
be able to add the praise of firmness to the other
good qualities which they are pleased to ascribe
to him.

[MORNING POST.]
Brussels papers reached us last night to the 20th
inst. They have brought us the Speech with
which the King of the Netherlands opened the
Session of the States General, on the 18th. It
gives a highly satisfactory Expos(s of the state of
the country, of the principles on which she is
"governed, and of the measures intended for her
further improvement and welfare. After an-
nouncing that a matrimonial alliance between
his youngest son and the youngest daughter of the
King of Prussia will draw still closer the ties of

amity which unite both Monarch and both nations,
it expresses a confident hope " 4 that an engage.
ment with the neighbouring and friendly Powers

will give a freer course to commerce, and to the
produce of the soil and manufactures more exten-
sive markets than can be procured by prohibi-
tions or restrictions." This is both wise and po-
litic. It is an adoption of the liberal system
which has lately opened our ports to the trade of
all the world, and it is lemourable for his Flemish
Majesty that he should be the first of the
Continental Monarchs to follow our example and
to present one himself, which we trust will have
imitators. As a proof of the sincerity with which
he is proceeding in this new career, he justly
refers to the arrangement by which our ships are
allowed to enjoy in his ports the same prerogatives
as national vessels. But the engagement to which
be more particularly alludes us being in a state of
progression, is the Treaty of Commerce which has
been for some time negociatiog with France, and
into which it seems he has some hopes of inducing
other Powers to enter. Ilk Majesty then states
that education and the arts flourish in his kingdom.
—Ott account of the abundance of the harvest
and the continued decrease in the price of grain,
he recommends an inquiry to ascertain the best
mode of regulating the interests of farmers and
consumers. At the same time he announces that
a further redaction of the public expenditure will
be proposed in the fertbeerning
Budget, and that
$ ,inking fund of two millions of florins will . bo
formed, to rodeem,tbe National Debt. Lie ot• closes
with an assurance that the Civil Code will be

completed in the course of the present Session.—
The whole of the speech is calculated to please,
not only the " High Mightinesses" to whom it is
addressed, but the people whose interests and
welfare the King evidently and ably labours to
promote.

(MORNING HERtLD.I
Wednesday's Paris Papers arrived last night.
There is something exceedingly fulsome and
suspicious in the unwearied eulogies—the gross
adulation of Charles X. These violent excesses
of loyalty are not without their danger. That
they cannot always last is certain—and there is
an equal chance that things may take a turn to
the very opposite extreme. The real fact most
probably is, that there is much of mere seeming
on both sides. Charles X. is not so liberal—the
Liberals are not so loyal,as the one and the others
respectively pretend—and they will in the end find
out each other—perhaps, too, at no very distant
period. The refusal of the usual rites to the re-
mains of Phillippe, an actor, is still agitated with
great earnestness. But it does not appear to be
brought before the Government. It would be a
trying point for the Catholic scruples of Charles
X., who is certainly more sincerely devoted to
clerical power than his predecessor. In one of
the Journals the point is reduced to a dilemma
which seems to us conclusive. " You are believers
or you are not. If you are believers, it is
your duty to bow before the scruples pf the
Clergy. If you are not believers, the omission
of a mere ceremonial is of no consequence."
As to the dogma itself, that all players are ex-
communicated, it appears to be a relic of early
bigotry and barbarism, abandoned in other Ca-
tholic countries, even in the dominions of the
Holy Father himself, and disgraceful to such a
country as France. The endeavours to revive
from the desuetude into which it had fallen this
bigotted and presumptuous exclusion will only
tend to precipitate the very power an& influence
which the Clergy are endeavouring to recover.—
A curious fact has come out in the course of this
affair. It is, that the actors and actresses are
the most liberal dispensers of public and
private charity in Paris. The Catholics in the
dominions of the King of Prussia seem inspired
with a new zeal to support their faith—but in a
different manner—by a dashing challenge in the
form of a question proposed by the Theological
Faculty of the University of Breslau. It is,
" 6 Whether there be any other than the Catholic
Church, derived from Christ and the Apostles ?"
This will, no doubt, once more raise clouds of
" learned dust," which will have the effect of
leaving the combatants more blind and bigotted
in their particular opinions than before.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The Courier of last night stated that Captain
Pechell, of his Majesty's ship Sybille, had arrived
at the Admiralty, with dispatches, announcing
that the Greeks revoked their proclamation,
upon a requisition to that effect made through
Captain Peelle!' himself, and that Sir F. Adam
did not, therefore, pay a visit to the Greek
Government. If Captain Pechell was sent to the
Greek Government to require the revocation of
their Proclamation, and if the Proclamation
was actually revoked in consequence of that
requisition, as is stated, on the ad of Sep.
tember, it seems rather singular that a Pro•
clamation should have been issued by Sir, F.
Adam on the 6th of September, while the issue
of the mission of Captain Peelle!' was not known.
It would almost seem as if Sir F. Adam calcu-
lated on the revocation of the Greek Proclama-
tion, and made good use of the interval, to pro-
cure for his Government, in the eyes of Europe, a
reputation for swaggering over the weaker States.
The whole business was paltry and disgraceful.
" Did Sir Fred. Adams (observes the Dumfries
Courier) speak to the Greeks like a friend, or bully
them like an enemy ? A very little address,
• •
solicitude, and kindness, might have prevented
even the possibility of a rupture ; for surely the
Greeks have inure sense than to seek an un-
necessary quarrel with Britain."—We have the
fortune to be a powerful nation ; what the
Greeks will be, lies hid in the womb of time.
Appearances certainly seem greatly in their fa•
your at present. However, be the fate of their
struggle what it may, it will not certainly be the
best proof that we were deserving of our fortune;
that throughout nearly the whole of this contest,
our Authorities in the East have heaped all
manner of insults on our less fortunate and less
powerful neighbours.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
We have received the Paris Papers of Wed-
nesday, together with the Elaile of Thursday.
'1 'he prosperous state of the Greek cause consti-
tutes their chief attraction ; and we observe that
all the French Journals, without any distinction
of party, give daily symptoms of their sympathy
in the struggle of that people. In fact, the same
may be said of the whole Continental Press, with
one or two exceptions ; and it is reserved for
Englund—the land par excellence of freedom—to
exhibit a system of organized hostility against a
nation, whose name alone ought to be a powerful
recommendation in every country where the light
of knowledge and the flame of liberty are che-
rished. But where public spirit displays itself in
its greatest luxuriance, there we also find a rich
crop of selfishness ; and this is perhaps the cause
why a part of our Public Press exceeds that of any
other country in a profligate contempt of everything
that ministers to the relief and solace of humanity,
as %veil as to the improvement of our social sys-
tem. In the French Papers there are advices
from various parts, all concurring in representing
the Greeks as victorious at every point, and as
!rasing achieved as brilliant, if not as solid, ad-
vantages, on land as at sea. The defeat and dis-
persion of the Egyptain squadron are stated
from so many quarters, and seem to rest
upon such good authority, that further incre-
dulity would merely betray a determination
to reject obstinately every thing, however
well attested, that is favourable to the Greeks.
It would also appear, that the fleet of the
Captain Paella has shared in the disaster which
has befallen that of the Viceroy of Egypt ; and
as the former has a reputation for skill and pru-

dence beyond any of his countrymen, the disgraces
and reverses he has sustained in the present cam-
pulp, shew what the Turkish arms have to ex-
pect under less able Leaders. In the meantime,
the Greeks cannot fail to make new, and even
rapid, progress in the arts,by which success in war
is usually secured, but also improvements in
peace are obtained ; and the advances they
have already made in both are really astonishing,
if we only consider the abject situation from
which they have just emerged. Their struggle,
too, desolating as it is in every respect, has not
this influence on the mind of the nation, or on its
moral character ; but contributes, in an extraor-
dinary degree, to expand both; and we now see
some of its leading men, who, at the beginning
of the contest, exceeded their enemies in ferocity,
begin to display those virtues which most adorn
the condition of civilized man. Many of them,
to whom only habits of violence were familiar
before, at present speak the language, and per-
form the parts, of lofty patriots ; and, as virtue
is a habit, as well as vice, what may we not ex-
pect from these men, as the noble cause, in which
they are engaged, developes its invigorating in-
fluence ? The re-establishment of civilization
and freedom in Greece, and probably in Asia
Minor, would be an event of such unequalled
importance, that cold indeed must be the tem-
perament of that man who can anticipate it
without emotion !

[NEW TIMES.]
We yesterday received by Express the price
of the French Rentes at Paris to three o'clock
on Wednesday, when they were, for the end
of the month, 103. 65. The Etoile, dated 'Wed-
nesday morning, communicates no news of im-
portance, unless we may characterise as such a
letter of the 7th instant from Leghorn, repeating
the rumour that the Greek Admiral Mialus
had defeated the Egyptian fleet. This, how-
ever, is too vague to build any distinct hopes
upon. If such an event has actually taken
place we shall not he long without hearing the
details. The Etoile continues actively engaged
in attacking and exposing its opponents. Among
these one of the most remarkable is the Journal
des Debuts, formerly a professed Royalist Paper,
but which has of late taken part with the Revo-
lutionary Priests, the Constitution/at, the Jour-
nal de Commerce, 4e. This proceeding does
not surprise us. The Journal des Debuts has
long been a shuffling unprincipled Paper. The
other day it was praised by The Times, and
not long since it praised The Times—the
Paper which published the infamous " Private
Correspondence" of 1818, charging
King of France with a plot to murder t 11ies pbrotherre
s(1
—and charging M. de Chateaubriand personally
as an accomplice in that treason. And yet the
affectsJorrnaldesDacrattstepthas be
to call itselfel imade to
Royalist!
An abortive
create a disturbance at Paris, in conse-
quence of the refusal of a Clergyman to so-
lemnize the rights of burial over the body of
an Actor who died without confession. We
apprehend the state of facts to be this :—The
Roman Catholic Church regards the profession of
a public Actor as one exposing those who follow
it to peculiar temptations ; it. therefore requires
of them a peculiar strictness in confession
for the purpose of absolution ; and if they. die
without confession it refuses them the customary
rites of sepulture. There are certain cases in
which those rites are refused by our own
Church : and it is quite evident that what the ge-
neral rules of any Church prohibits, an indivi-
dual Clergyman cannot take upon himself to
grant. In this view, however harsh or intolerant
the rule may be thought, the Clergyman is not
the party to blame : and so the Parisian populace
appear to have thought ; for they did not offer
any violence to the Clergyman in the present
instance. Some years ago the case was different
and the refusal to bury Mademoiselle Rau cour,
the Actress, gave occasion almost to an insurrec-
tion. This strews how much more tranquil France
is now than it was at that period—an alteration
owing entirely to the change of system from the
Administration of M. Decase to that of M. de
Villele.

MURDER. AT ViNcENNEs.---Papavome, whose
examination is actively proceeded in, was again
conducted, on the 19th, to the Pedals de Justice
at half-past ten o'clock in the morning. He did
not leave the room of the Juge &Instruction till
half-past four o'clock. The Multitude crowd on
his passage. Ile wears a blue great coat and
black silk cap, his hat being retained in evidence.
Ilis hands are pinioned.--(French Paper.)

SWALLOws.—Though the main body of swal-
lows took their departure from our shores three
weeks ago, a few, here and there, may still be
seen lingering round copses near the coast.—
That the annual migration of these birds elicited
attention in the earliest times is evident from the
manner in which it is noticed by the prophet Je-
remiah. From that migration, also, Cicero has
drawn the following simile :-46 As swallows are
present with us in summer, but are gone in win-
ter, so false friends attend us in the sunshine of
prosperity, but in the winter of affliction they all
flee away." So great a favourite was the swal-
low among the Greeks, that her first appearance
made a holyday for this Greek boys, and a song
has been preserved by which the young mendi-
cant—like Eton scholars, at their Montem—used
to levy contributions on the good nature of their
fellow citizens. It is remarkable that most coun-
tries have a similar proverb relating to the swal-
low's accidental appearance before its usual time.
The French have Une "Bromidic ne fail p le
Printems ; the Germans, Einc Sheval ()mach(
keine?: Fruhling ;
the Dutch Een Swalaw maakt
Been Zoer ; the Swedes, En Svala gor ingen
m
Sommar ; the Italians, Unu Rontline non fa
primevera; which may be all literally translat-
ed by the English proverb, " One swallow
dolls not make a summer."—The story is well
known of a thin brass plate fixed on a swallow
with this inscription," Prithee, Swallow, whether
goest thou in winter?" The bird returned next
spring, with the answer subjoined, " To Anthony
of Athens—Why cost thou enquire'"----(Boston
Gazette.)
