THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the ilfortaing Papers, July 6.

rTIIE TIMM]
'We have received the Paris morning and even-
ing papers of Saturday. The former contain no
news of the slightest interest, and the latter are
nearly equally barren. The Quotidienne gives
the Ministers some gentle hints about a timely
retreat from office—telling them, that as they
obtained power by enjoying the confidence of the
Royalists, they had now forfeited it by losing
that confidence. In the Chambers nothing had
occurred since our last mention of their proceed-
ings, which deserves notice. Nothing is said
which would lead us to suspect any alteration in
the health of the King.

[MORNING POST.]

We observed-in a Paper of yesterday an ar-
ticle is which the common courtesy shewn by one
side of the House of Commons to the other is
elegantly denominated as " Parliamentary Hum-
bug." The Mode is accordingly lauded for
having expressed its chagrin at the general har.
niony of sentiment between Mr. Secretary Cun-
ning and Sir James Mackint.osh on the question
of South American Independence. What is the
inference ? Of course that a popular Ministry is
an evil, and that neither sincerity nor public
good can be expected but when the two sides of
Parliament are at drawn daggers with each other.
Verily the new lights that break in on us are 'n-
umerable.

e have this day given a variety of intelli-
gence from South America, derived from Buenos
Ayres and Jamaica Papers to a late date. The
rause of independence has greatly suffered from
the important posts of Lima and Callao being
regained by the Spanish army, as well as the in-
ternally distracted state of Peru. The Interven-
tion of the Colombian forces and the elevation of
Bolivar to the Dictatorship have evidently been
made use of by the friends of the Spaniards in
Peru to awaken the petty jealousy which in
every nation, and %% WI the greatest strength
among the most ignorant, is felt towards neigh-
bouring states and provinces. Bolivar's procla-
mation upon this subject will be read with
interest.--(lbid.)

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
44 Never in the memory of man," says The
Dublin Evening Post, 46 was there n prospect of
a more abundant harvest." This sentence forms
a very odd commencement of an article in which
famine in all its horrors is said to he now raging
in Ireland.—" Seven or eight weeks dry weather
will crown the hopes of the corn-growers with
abundance,—but it is an abundance we appre-
hend in which the population of the country will
not share !! ! "—Thus year after year that beau-
tiful country is scourged by famine in the midst
of plenty. Instead of being a source of strength
to us, our own resources are wasted in maintain-
ing armies to enable the Irish Squirearchy to
carry on the struggle with their famishing vassals
—and the worst of all is that the evil IR not one
to which we can foresee a termination. The
people of this country cannot be expected, to
come forward every year as they did in 1822.

The jealousies which have been excited by the
appointment of Bolivar to the Dictatorship have
evidently sunk deeply, when we find among the
traitors who have joined the Royalists Torre
Tagle, the late President of the Republic. The
Spaniards, besides, have possession of nearly the
whole country. Truxillo, from whence Bolivar
dates his proclamation, is above 300 miles north-
west
of Lima ; it is the northernmost province of
Peru. All the interior, and much of the coast,
is under the dominion of the Royalists. The
fact also that Quito, a province of Colombia,
should have been subjected to martini law,
proves how serious the aspect of affairs must
appear to the authorities in that part of the
*Md. In a private letter received yesterday
from Bogota, it is also mentioned that a motion
had been made in the Colombian Congress to in-
crease the army by an additional force of fifty
thousand men. This motion is ascribed partly to
the current rumour, that the French intended to
assist the Spaniards to re-conquer their colonieb,
and partly to the proceedings in Peru.—
From the same source we learn, that Bolivar
had again tendered his resignation as President of
Colombia. This step is obviously taken only to
obtain the sanction of public opinion to his re-
cent conduct. We have no doubt it will be rea-
dily given. We are not afraid that the inde-
pendence of Peru can be destroyed, either by
foreign force or domestic treason. Throughout
South America not a Spaniard in arms can be
found hut in Peru ; and as the new States have
all confederated to support each other's inde-
pendence, though the contest may be somewhat
prolonged, the issue must be in favour of the
Peruvians. The capture of Lima and Callao at
this period is, however, much to be regretted,
on account of the effect it may produce in Eu-
rope. it will be eagerly seized by the. Ultra
Papers of France, as a proof that the dominion
of Spain may be easily restored ; and it is not
to he foreseen what mischievous projects may
grow out of a single disaster.

Consols improved yesterday. In the course
of the morning they had been at 941; but they
closed at 04i, 05. This is to be attributed, in a
greet measure, to the favourable accounts received
of the king of France's health ; but we cannot
avoid repeating, that the vulgar notion is totally
unfounded that the death of Louis X VIII. would
130 followed by Political disturbances. All danger
of that kind ceased with the downfall of Decaze.
That Minister protected the Liberals, and nursed
theM. up Into cousequence; but when deprived
of his fostering care, they fell back into their
nativ6 insignificance ; and as to the Buonapartists,
they isityclnng been extinct as a faction.--The
apilie.ation or the King of Portugal for troops
to be monied as a subject of much in-
terest we believe we may confidently state, that
