DA I.IX

Extracts from the Morning Papers, June 10.

[MoaNING CHRONICLE.]
We were glad to see that the Silk Manufac—
turers' Bill was not subjected to the delay at-
tendant on an Inquiry, which might have pre-
vented its passing into a Law this Session. There
needed no inquiry, foran inquiry is only neces-
sary when allegations are made which, if proved,
ought to be fatal to .a Bill, and the fasts of the
Petitioners were not of that description. The
only argument against the Bill was, that other
restrictions existed besides those contained in the
Spitalfields Act, such as the Combination Law,
the law against the Emigration of Artists, &c. ;
but this is an argument for removing also these
other restrictions, which it is to be hoped
will 'be attempted with as little* delay
as possible. —We beg Mr. Bright's paCilon
-=-he objected to the Bill that it might have
the effect of extending the Silk Manufacture in
the Metropolis. So thought the people of Sud-
bury, and therefore they who are now 'flourish-
ing at the expellee Spitalfields, very modestly
petitioned against the removal of the restrictions.
Mr. Creevey brought forward the subject of the
41 per Cent. West India Duties, a grievous hard.
ship, on' certain Colonies, in the present de-
pressed state of the market, and applied in a
most disgraceful manner. The public money
ought never to be taken for any thing but the
public service, and if the House fairly repre-
sented the People, this principle- would, no
doubt, be rigorously observed. Liberality at
the expence of the public we protest against.-1
They who have a relish for the pleasures of bene-
ficence ought, in all fairness, to be at the expence
of it themselves. We certainly do not see why
the Planters of Barbedoes, who at this time are
probably unable to maintain themselves, should
be bound to relieve the Duke of Clarence of the
expence of maintaining his own children.—The
expellee of the Coronation next came into consi-
deration, and a very heavy Cxpeuce it turned out
to be. This show cost no. lees a sum than
280,0001., nearly equal to' the whole annual ex-
pence of the various civil establishments of a po-
pulation nearly as great as that of England—we
mean that of the United States. There ,was a
time when shows of this kind might not be with-
out their use; but in our age it would be diffi-
cult 'to point out any one advantnge to be
obtained by the expenditure of so much money.
Every thing in a Constitutional Monarchy should
have for object the benefit of the people, for
which the Sovereignty itself is instituted ; and
though the expenditure of 10,0001. or 15,0001.
on a ceremony of this kind might be tolerated, it
is' a very different matter when we come to
quarters of millions.

[TIIE Tiro Es.]
The news from Madrid is somewhat barren of
facts, hut pregnant in speculations. Now that a
Regency is appointed in Spain, what are to be
its diplomatic relations with other States? The
holy Allies, it is presumed, who recalled their
Ambassadors from the Court where Ferdinand
appeared in person, will have no objection to
send fresh ones to a body which professes to go-
vern in his name and by his authority. Letters
may therefore be transmitted to Russia, Austria,
and Prussia, requesting the Sovereigns of those
States to give countenance and do honour to the
Gallic Regency of Spain, by accrediting to it
their several Ministers. - One might infer from',
this, that the Regency is expected to be, of no
very short duration. A different letter will of
course be.composed for the King of France, ex-
pressive of deep gratitude for the benefits con-
ferred by him upon Spain. But England, whose
Ambassador still accompanies the ambulant. Sove-
reign, presents a great difficulty—America a
greater. The latter country, on account of its dis-
tance, will not be assailed in the first instance, and
England is to be treated with caution. A person
is to be sent over with high recommendations,
upon the strength of which, having access to Mr.
Canning, that Minister is to be sounded. Should
lie appear favourable (which, by the way, is im-
possible), then the Frenchman's diplomatic
powers are to be produced, and an arrangement
is to be made for the appearance of our Minister
at the Court of the Regency. Should Mr. Can-
ning turn a deaf ear, of course a considerable
coolness will spring up between the two Govern-
ments of France and England. To the minor
states, such as Sweden, Denmark, Bavaria, &c.,
a letter is to be sent from the Duke del 'den-
ted°, simply informing them that the Regency
has been installed, and that Spain being now
restored to the community of nations, they may
renew their diplomatic relations with her. But,in
the mean time, what is this Regency, which It is
thus intended to trick out with all the usual
concomitants of kingly.magnificence ? All ac-
counts that we have seen make it a most con-
temptible body on account of the meanness of,
the members, or the constraint under which they
are acting. With respect to the Grandees, also,
who signed the letter to the Duke of Angouleme,
they are none of them who are politically known,
except Montijo, the matt who wrote the letter to
A bishal. But even be those who appear to have
signed what they may, there is a strong suspicion
that the names of some of them, particularly
those of the women, are the effects of either
threats or forgery. The Duchess of Bane-
Teufel for example, • was known to have
declared . at few days before the French
eetered Madrid, that it obliged to take .a part, it
would be against them. But-what have women to
thy in affairs of this !dud ? She also has two sons,
one of whom, the Prince ntiona, commands the,
King's Guards at. Seville, and the other, now on
lus travels, is known to be an ardent Constitu-
tionalist. We believe it, indeed, to be certain as
a general truth, that every Spaniard of any rank
.4r elmequeoce, who has during later times taken
any part in public affairs, fled from Madrid on'
the approach of the French. Castanos was the
rrson most persecuted by the Cortes and the
Ministry, and was litterally reduced to
I.,),gary by their depriving him of his command

and cfvfl office of Counsellor of State ; yet he
scorned to await the arrival of the French, but
fled into the country. The defection of Abisbal
Was a solitary act ; and did not attach to. either
officers or men. He was, indeed, deposed by his
own staff, as soon as his letter was made known
to them : neither is there, we believe, any ground
for the assertion, that he had any communication
with Morino or Ballasteros.
NEW
" When the steed is stolen shot the stable door:"

—Certain worthy sages of the Common Council,
keeping in mind this ancient adage, have deter-
mined to apply the loose cash of the City of London
to the defence of Spain against a French invasion !
—This measure has so many droll points about it,
that we hardly know which will afford the
greatest scope for laughter. Certainly the time
chosen for this civic generosity is most apt. If

the Common Council had voted their money
some months ago, it might have been surmised
that they were a set of barbarous bloody-minded
fellows who wished to promote " battle,‘murder,
and sudden death"—whereas it is now clear that

they can have nosuch sanguinary intentions; since
fighting is manifestly quite out of the question in
Spain. Gen. Mina has contrived to avoid the
enemy cleverly enough .for some weeks in Cata-
lonia: General l3allasteros has bravely retreated
400 or 500 miles from Biscay to Grenada :
and the heroes of the Cortes, who first ran away
from Madrid, have now runaway from Seville'!
—The Common Councilmen (we mean Messrs.
Wood% Favell, and Co.) have a singular mode of
estimating courage. They compliment the gentry
who have run away to hide themselves in Cadiz
with the title of Brave ! Aliout 70,000 French-
men have invaded Stpain, and"the Revolutionary
'Governinentf who. we were told not three months
ago had WO,OOO men in arms, have suffered them
to advance without resistance till they have got

to Madrid. Nay, .the French don't seem dis-
posed to stop there, for:they :have sent on a
strong corpsit appears toward Seville. Suppose
for one moment these. same 10,000 Frenchme►►
had invaded England, end his Majesty's Ministers
had abandoned London to them and run' away to
York-..would Mr. Favell have sailed tire Mi-
nisters brave for so doing •

[BRZTISU PaEs9.l
All the avenues to.the House of Commons were
last night again crowded by the Spitallields'
Weavers, interested its the Bill brought in by
Mr. Huskisson, for the regulaticm of their trade,
now pending before the House. Messrs. Wilde
and Adam were heard early in the evening, as
Counsel on the part of the Weavers, against
the Bill. Both the Learned Gentlemen spoke
at considerable length, and very ably, against
the measure. After they had withdrawn, Mr.
Frederick Buxton, who had previously pre-
sented a Petition from the Master Silk Manu-
facturers of London cod Westminster against
the Bill, rose and stated at considerable length
the grounds of his opposition to it. The
bill sought to be repealed (the petitioners, he
said, stated) was originally passed on the grounds
of political economy, and it was now sought to be
repealed on the same grounds. They said, like-
wise, that a great change in political economy
had taken place during the last 60 years, in
which time Adam Smith had overthrown the sys.
tem of his predecessors,and Mr. Ricardo had de-
stroyed that of Mr. Smith. The main argument
on which he should base his motion was, that the
Petitioners had never been heard at all.
The repeal of the law would go to de.
stray their rights, and injure their interests; but
still they had not yet had any opportunity of es-
tablishing the facts of their case at the Bar of that
House. Mr. Buxton concluded by pressing the
adjournment of the measure until the next Ses-
sion, and moving that it be referred in the mean
time to a Special Committee. Mr. Huskisson
opposed the going into a Committee up stairs ;
because, even admitting all the facts, he should
rest his objection on the ground of principles.—
Mr. Buxton's motion for a Committee was subse-
quently rejected in a division, by a majority of
eight, and the Bill was read a second time.—
For our own parts, on the fullest considera-
tion, we do not think . the present measure
one likely to be in any way injurious to the silk
trade. No branch of industry can be supported
by legislative monopoly ; such a iirinciple is op.
posed alike to the freedom of trade and the free-
dom of principle and action. During the last
Session and the present one many of our ancient
kiwi regarding trade, commerce, and navigation
were repealed and modified ; and the present
measure is in a great degree consecutive, and Part
of a more liberal and enlightened policy, as
flowing from these and connected 4ith the trade
and manufactures of this Kingdom. We wish the
Committee had been granted, and the fullest
inquiry allowed on the subject to the Petitioners.
They and every other body who approach that
House, decorously and with fair claims, ought
ne‘er to be dismissed dissatisfied or discontented
from its bar. If a measure affecting them be
really beneficial, and that they think otherwise,
they ought to have the. fullest opportunity for in-
vestigation and reflection, otherwise legislation
becomes unpopular and loses its best merits.

[MORNING Pont.]
Some degree of alarm has been expressed by
the Hierarchy of Ireland for the permapent wel.
fare and security of the Irish Church, as likely
to be affected by the Bill now before Parliament
for the composition 01 tithe. Of the venerable.
body in question, ilthough we do not in the
present instance sympathize with its appre-
'hensionsi we would wish to speak with the
most profound respect. We feel that the dig-
nified Clergy are acting strictly within their
proper sphere—a sphere which their gravity
and learning qualify them, and which their peen-
liar station in the social edifice calls upon them to
fill, when they manifest jealousy and dislike of
innovation, whether political or religious. We
are quite ready also to admit, that on the pre,
sent occasion their watchfulness for.the interests
of that establishment of which the are the
special and appointed guardians, is an im-
perative duty. The Constitution has wisely

guarded all its` great establishments, eccle.l
siastic or civil,. by connecting with each of
them functionaries invested with the wealth,
power, and splendour sufficient—not to controul
or overawe the Legislature, but to ensure at all
times its attention to their voice, and thus to
avert the danger of its being precipitated into
any Incautious or fatal enactment. To guard
the sacred structure of our national Cburch from
any change bearing the character or implying the
measure of dilapidation, is the highest and most
important duty of the HierarChy, and although
we do not see the force of the objections which
the prelates of Ireland have urged against the
Tithe Bill, of Mr. Goulburn, our ieverence for
that distinguished body remains unabated. The
most formidable of those objections is, that by
the compulsory clause of the Act the Legislature
will establish the principle that tithe is a descrip-
tion of property more fully within the grasp, and
subject to the disposition of Parliament, than
it has hitherto been considered. It is some-
what singular that the reply which we shall
make to an objection coming from a source so ele-
vated and so pure, will at the same time serve to
repress the exultation which the friends of all
innovation, however desperate,. have not endea-
voured to conceal, on the adoption by the Legis-
lature of a principle which they affect to recog-
nize as one of their own. The Bill in question,
if it should pass in its present state, will notafford
any sanction to the principle, that tithe or• any other
description of Ecclesiastical endowment is more
subject to the authority of the State than the best
secured property of Laymen, It is indeed in
all its provisions irreconcileably hostile to such a
nrinciple. Those clauses of the 11111 which are
intended to facilitate a voluntary adjustment be-
tween the Incumbent and the Parish, cautiously
and studiously ascribe a parity of right, and give
an equal voice in the proceedings to the repre-
sentative of, Ecclesiastical interests as to• the
whole body of Lay occupants.
