LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.

[Morning- Chronicle.]

We last night received the printed Report of
the Lords' Committees respecting the Bank of
England. It forms a folio volume of. 431 pages,
including the Minutes of Evidence and Appendix.
It is substantially the same, in respect of plan for
the gradual resumption of Cash Payments, as the
Commons' Report ; but of course It is different in
the composition—its reasoning is more minute
—and the Committees examined witnesses (Mr.
Page and Mr. Fletcher), who were of opinion,
that unless the Mint regulations for the coinage
of silver were first altered, any attempt to remove
the restrictions on the Bank must prove ineffec-
tual. The Committees, however, think it their
duty to, declare, that they see no ground to ap-
bend that the present Mint regulations relpecting.
the silver coinage, sm "long as such silver coin
shall not be a legal tender beyond the amount of
forty shillings, and that the Nlint shall not be
open to the public for the coinage of that metal,
will oppose any obstacle to the successful execu-
tion of the plan, which they have ventured to re-
commend.

We are assured that there arc positive accounts
in confirmation of the intelligence in town, viz!
(the account- from the Cape of Good Hope,
stating that some detachments of the British
troops, stationed in the interior of the settlement,
bad been suddenly surprized and slaughtered by
the natives, instigated by 'some deserters or dis-
banded privates of the late Cape Regitneot),
though we have no doubt but that the affair has
been exaggetated. The 24th pragoons are ar-
rived at Portsmoitth, and they state, that a Nun-
-403 Of t:;A reirs.ent was actually orderedto pro-
ceed to the Orange River, to assist in suppressing
the tumult ; but tiie order for their march was
countermanded, probably from intelligence being
received by the Governor of tranquility being re-
stored. The report at the Cape was,, that three
British Offieers_had been killed in the fray:7—

[Morning Post.]
The statement in a Paper of yesterday that so,e
detachments of British troops Stationed in the in-
terior of the settlement of the Cape of Good
Hope ha►l been suddenly surprised and slaughtered
by the natives, instigated by some deserters, or
disbanded privates of the late Cape Regiment, we
hope will prove void of foundation. No iwrili-
genee to this effect had reached the Government.
The last letters from the Cape are dated the 28th
of December, and up to that period nothing had
occurred to render the event above alluded to in
any way probable.

[New Times.]

We have received Madras Couriers to the 29th
of December last inclusive. They mention that
the trade of Manilla was very dull. The treasure
ships not-having arrived there from Acapulco, the
Spanish Government bad auposed a duty of 13 per
cent. on the exportation of specie ; and as 9-10ths
of the returns for goods sent to Manila are usually
made in specie, it was considered that this tax
would considerably affect the British merchant.—
The anniversary of the great decisive battle of
Alaidpoor was celebrated at Madras by a splendid
entertainment, at which Sir Thomas Hislop, the
Conqueror on that imprarlant days was present.
The previous accounts of the disturbed state of
the Rajpoot country are contradicted. The re-
fractory Thakoors, who had at first shewn
a dis-
position to espouse the cause of the Pindarries,
have successively surrendered their forts to ti e
detachment under Colonel Butler, not however
without undergoing, in some instances, attacks,'
which soon convinced theta of the great superio-
rity of our artillery. Letters from Rangoon men-
tion that- the cholera morbus has committed great
ravages in that quarter. From Nagpoore it is
stated that an alleluia was made on the strong
fortress of Deogbur, by a body of the enemy, con-
sisting of 600 Arabs and some Hindoostanees,
but they were easily repulsed by a party from
Csptain Pedlar's field detachment. A similar at-
tempt was made on the fortress of Callinger, and
repulsed in like manner by the vigilance of the
garrison,

[The Tinies.]

Adrices from Gibraltar, dated the 19th tilt.,
mention, that on the 12th the Terms of a Truce
and Suspension of Hostilities for two years, be-
tween the Portugnese and Tunisians, was signed
there 'by their respective Commissioners.

The private letters received yesterday from all
parts-of the Continent contain unfavourable ac-
counts of the state of commerce. Two failures
have taken place at Stralsund, one at Stettin, one
at Petershargb, and a fifth at Lubeck. It is fur•
then stated, that the most perfect stagnation pre-
vails in every department of business, and not a
single article could be mimed for which soy cla-
mant! existed,—(lbid.),

FOR THE SUN.

FRANCE.

Mx. EntToß—lt amyl is s me not a little that
you should lend your columns to ;he Republican,
Or the Imperial, I care nor which, Anti-Royali.As
of France. Yon' char yourself from the itnputa.
Lion of concurring in their op pions ; hut wi,y do
you publish them ?—A Correipondeot in a foreign
country is valuable, very valuable, w!)ile he com-
municates the political events_of the day. or the
probablities of .what may occur ; but 'your Pa-
risian Correspondent has, of late, abandoned facts
and conjectures for the mere expression of his
own opinions; and his last Letter might ha-ve
been entirely - spared, with the exception of its
short postscript.
It may be very convenient for your Anti-
Royalist to " draw a over the Revolution,
and the " sanguinary despotism " of thqt uhex-
ecuted Miscreant at Saint Helen,' ; but he must
not be allowed to criminate therewith the Royal-
ists. When be terms the National Assemblyovit Is
which :he French Rebellion Commenced,

" the

guarantee of peace and prosperity to Franec," he
chews himself a Revolutionist ; and no man can
be a friend to the Monarch, or the Monarchy, who
desires to vindicate or to retain in France the
slightest effect of her Revolution.
This I say upon principle, upon strict pri. cil,le ;
for I neither love France nor desire-tier prospe-
rity. Upon strict and abstracted principle I as-
sert that France is still Revolutionary, since she
retains the Ordinances of her Revolution, si'd its
spirit. I know not whether :her Royalists wish
tobring,back her ancient laws, and I rare ;
but if they accomplish that object, it?would be
nothing but Counter-Revolution.
Were I a Frenchman, as 1 thank my GM I am
not, 1 should most probably be whit your Revo-
lutionary Correspondent would call an Ultra.
Royalist. I should desire to preserve the Mo-
narchy, and account the Monarch 9s a secondary
consideration ; and, for consistency's sake, it, in-
deed, a Frenchman ever desired to be consistent,
I should wish toy King to he Louts the XVllth,
in the fourth year of his reign ;_thereby,sanction-
ing, at/he has done by many acts, the measures
of the Revolution; or, Lours the XVI Ilth, in ale
twenty-foUrth year of bit reign, reckoning from
the .murder of his Nephew ; but utterly sweeping

away every revolutionary measure. •
Your Correspondent, Sir, seems bitten with the
notion, that rational liberty, and nothing else,
was designed by the French Revolutionises. Sir,
that accursed event, the French Retie Ilion, was
hatched, and planned, and matured; and accorn..
pliibed, by Jacobins and Athiests. No wise mail
who was honest, and no honest man who was
wise, had in it act or part. MI the virtue of
France was exiled or butchered. Can it be won.
tiered then, that the Revolution and all its fruits
should be abhorred by one description of men,
and cherished by another ?

The Emigrants who were so villainously robbed
of their property, because of, their loyalty to their
King, have never regained it ; though he for
whom they were robbed has regained his Throne.
So much for the --, but I forbear a theme so
touchy. Oh, to be sure, they deserve the loss
for " scampering" away, as your Correspondent
terms it, instead of accommodating BUONAPARTE
by staying to be murdered by him like •D'EN.
GHIEN, and PICHEGRAT, and TOUSSAINT, and the
soldiers at Jaffa, and—proh pudor !—our
un-
avenged countryman, WRIGIAT.-
I wonder, Sir, that your Correspondent did not.
eke out his scanty, postscript of. • hews wills the-
swindling trick of Mr. LUCIEN BUoN APA
who expects to cheat Lis creditors aind t
debts on the CroWn. But this ot‘her:scound!el,
who, like his brother NAP, has escaped the gal-
lows, will equally, I suppose, escape the pillory.
And why nit Is he not one of the profilers by
Aliat Pure, blessed; tnercittit. loyal, and ehristiari
event, the French Revolution
frannof spare any longer time from our own
agitators,7—andirisli Popery claims my undivided
attinlion. Be sp good, Sir, as IO rescue THE SUN
from all future advocacy of FrenCh Rebellion, and
all future critnination of French loyalty request
also your Parisian Correspondent to send volt
facts henceforward, instead of opinions. Ido not
wish him to excite the pen of

vlcur.

P. S. Your Compositor has again erred. la
my Letter of Friday last, 4th pa.ragrapb, 7th line,
for against Catholic common law—read ancient
Catholic common law. To this most important
paint I shall soon apply myself, and chew your
readers, that the Papal interference in England.
was syscays- utterly illegal.
