THE LONDON JOURNALS.

;XTRAVi'S FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.]

-e--

[The Tin:a.] •
v„Qur private information is more authentic and
thkit4bie than any that can be derived. from the
h,
se
Jugated press of France. • By we are en-
"ted to prent a copy of Sir W. A'Court's note
t 2 the Neapolitan Government in reply to the
l'e4iand of explanations. It differs nothing from
4'
I,lat we yesterday described to be its•contents.—
Pe British naval- force is termed h " squadion
(11 Observation," rendered necessary by the cri-
tical Posture of affairs at Naples, -which may
compromise the. Personal safety and property of
ritish Subjects, Sir W. A'Court declares that
the British Government will interfere in no man-
liler with the affairs of Naples, unless such inter-
4rvncee should be rendered indispensable by in-
tillt or outrage offered to the persons of the
i.'°Yal Family. Our information goes on to no-
iiice the insolence and rudeness which the
de Gallo experienced from the Aus-
trian authorities while on his mission to Lay-
baeh, This Minister was placed under the
superintendence of the police, and suffered to
have only one short interview With the Sove-
reign uhose service he was conducting. ar
lvas resolved on by the Neapolitan Parliament in
the sitting of the 15th ult. vigorouS.Measure,
'worthy of the crisis in which they found their
cx
hick: ountry, and one to the prompt .adOption of
they wero perl:zrs the more encouraged

by intelligence which is said to have reached Na-
ples by a courier on the night preceding, to the
effect that the people Of.the Roman territory had
risen and demanded a Ckinstitution like that al-
ready possessed by the Neapllitans. That the
universal hatred borne. to the Austrians through-
out Italy should find expression in a variety of
ways, and in every district which they threaten
With their visitations, is to us by no means won-
derful; but at the moment at WhiCh an immense
Austrian Army has entered the estates of the
Church, vowing vengeance against the Neapoli-
tans for having obtained their freedoM,—that
such a moment should be selected by the Romans,
as if to provoke and invite a similar ptinishment
upon themsalves, spews either an impatience of
their present yoke, a confidence in their united
strength, or.an indifference, to their futtire fob-
tunes, so extraordinary, that Ive can hardly yet
give credit to a fact on which we had so little
calculated. Should it prove true—which is far,
at the same time, from impossible, the attack
upon Naples must doubtless undergo consider-
able interruption.

[Morning Lic?ltld.]
It is to Italy that every cye is now turned.
There is an auspicious circumstance in the ac-
counts from Naples. lit the opening of the
revolution it. will be recollected that General
Filangieri, the son of the celebrated writer of
that name upon legislation, was looked to as one
of the main props of the new system. His talents
and gl..zantry, as an officer, were highly spoken
of. As the affairs of Naples, however, advanced,
he gave up his command in disgust, in consequence
of a quarrel with General Carascosa. We now
learn, that he has been publicly reconciled
with his opponent, or rival—vowed the most
cordial co-operation in repelling the enemy,
and resumed his command. It was not the only
instance in which this interesting spectacle pre-
sented itself, and in the eye of the army. Several
other officers who had personal quarrels sealed •
their reconciliation with vows to die in the de-
fence of the , common cause. The Neapolitan
Ladies, too, have made the sacrifice of their jewels
and other valuable ornaments, upon the altar
of patriotism, the example being given by the
wife of the Prince. Italy is the cia:,sic land of
female devotion to the divinity of patriotism.

[Morning Chronicle.]
It is stated, that in the evening of the 13th
ult.'some persons entered Rome, announcing that
a great number of 'Neapolitans 'were advancing;
intelligence *hi* e*4.ted'.4ll4ral, and in conse-
uence of which the City Guard was called Out:
The next morning Cardinal Gonsalvi sent out
couriers, who on their return stated, that they had
not met with any corps of Neapolitan troops.—
At lenkth some Neapolitan deserters arrived in
the environs of Rome, whose progress had given
rise to the 'mistake: According to the same
letters, the Austrians were to take posses-
sion of Ancona, to serve as a point d'appiti
for their corps de reserve: Respecting the
Mardi of the Austrian troops there is no
further direct intelligence: The Constituttonyzell
of Filday quotes commercial letters, stating that
the advanced guard of the Austrian army-
had halted at Sienna. An article, however,
'from Vienna, of *the ISth ult., anticipates the
receipt of the first bulletin from the Army within
a few days froth that. date. The right wing was
expected:to penetrate the Neapolitan territory,
by the way of Rothe and Terracina, before the
25th ; and the left _wing at an earlier period, to
encounter General Pepe in the Abruzzos. With
regard to- the situation of affairs at Naples,
the accounts are only of one day's later date
than those which had previously reached us,
and contain very little further intelligence ;they
they
al:, however, agree
•stating, that the greatest
enthusiasm, prevailed ..amongst the people.—
The Prince Regent, after- giving audieke to
the Russian, Austrian and. Prussian Envoys,
is stated to have assembled the Secretaries Of
Mate, to whom his Royal Highness read a let-
ter of five pages, written with his own hand,.
and addressed to the King, stating that the letter
from his Majesty, of the 28th fanuary, could not.
have been drawn, up of his own free will,
since at no previous period had any such senti-
ments been manifested by his Majesty. The letter
concluded by declaring the, determination of the_
Prince Regent to follow _ the destiny, of the na-
tion, and in the support of its rights, its. independ-
ence, and its glory, to expose his own life, and
the liVes of his family. -

.• . r f3ritish Press.]
There is an ebvious caution in the terms used
to express M. Pasquier's avowal, which is in
itself somewhat suspicious. Nothing,"'it says,
" has been signed hostile against NapleS."—
There 'has, we believe, been no 'declaration of
war on the part,of France; but can the in puta-
tion of hostility towards Naples be. disclaim-
ed, w hen France engages to supply-A& Austria
what Austria most requires, namely, Money,
which is the sinews of war? An, Ausrtian army
will support. itself in any Foreign couutry-
can afford provisions, without, payilgrnuell regard'
to the rights of the people. This is the well-
knOwn and uniform. practice Of the Imperial
troops,. consequently the chief
:expense •of a
foreign war to the Austrian Government is in the
outfit of the armies. France, therefore, in giv-
inir to Austria 16 millions of francs (more" than
700, JOO/. sterling), enables that Power to act
with the .most fearful effect against Naples.
To affect neutrality under such circumstances is
absurd, 'and 'the purposes of the real hostility are
disgaeful.

IMEISE OF COMMONS.
AGnIcet.TuRAL tilsTnEss.
Mr. Cotea (of Norfolk) rose to present a Peti-
_iOn from several Occupiers of Land in a certain
district of Norfolk; and also from those who, as
dealers in corn, resorted to a market town within
that district, complaining of the distressed state
of Agriculture, and praying. the House to take
thesame into its consideration. The Honourable
Member said, that he had tare himour to know
many of the Gentlemen by whom this Petition
was.signed,•and that he was enabled to bear the
most unqualified testimony to ilte general worth
and respectability of their character. These
lingese the
Pe-
titions suggested, as one mode of
Some i
agriculturists and affording themthat the Malt Tax- should lao aied_ r.e
j elvf
lionOttrable Gentleman had, on• a:former even-
ing, expressed an opinion that the Horst+ Tax
should be repealed, in consequence of its inju-
rious operation towards the agriculturists, and
he concurred with that Honourable Gentleman
in thinking that tax very injurious. But yet he
felt thatthe.Malt Tax was mdch more oppres-
sive to agriculture, :which it served to injure in
various ways. The Honourable Gentleman an-
imadverted upon the amount of the tax upon malt
per barrel in Scotland and in. England, maintain-
ing that there was an undue preference granted
to the former. Ile .was not one of those who
held the opinion that any relief could' be afforded
to the agriculturists by an increase in the import
duty upon foreign corn. Indeed, he thought.
that effectual relief was only to be derived by
the agriculturists,- as well as by other classes of
the people, from a material reduction of the pub.-.
lic taxation, and therefore he was the more dis-
posed to advocate the suggestion of the PetitiOn-
ers for the repeal of the Malt Tax, whirh repeal
would at once relieve the country from an anntnil
impost of about 3,000,0001.
I,VIr. S. WORTLEY rose 'to order, and submitted
to the consideration •of the Hon. Member whether
he was not rather interfering with the time usu-
ally devoted to priiate business ?
Mr. COKE conceived it his right to address the
House, and that right he was by no means dispos-
ed to surrender, especially upon a question of this
nature, and where he could not feel that he was
violating any settled rule. lf, however, it were
deemed irregular by the.proper authority now
to present this Petition, he would postpone its
presentation to some future day:.
Mr. S. WORTLEY. urged, that should the lion.
Member persist in presentiteg this petition, it
might lead to a discussion, :and that discussion
must prevent, the private business from being gone
through.
Mr..BENUMONT thought the proper course in
a Can' of this nature, 'was not to refer for advice
to any individual Member,. but to 'consult the
judgment of the Chair,
The SPEAK observed that there was Cer-
tainly no settled rule ngainst the course which
the Hon. Member had thought proper to pursue,
but then there was.a regulation estr,blibbett
the House as to the time ativhich pubic business
Should begin ; and also z regtliation •as to the
time at which the discharge of._ private buSiness
should terminate. The qatisTion then was,-whe-
flier, if any raotien were made, or a
.petition, pre-
sented upon a public'matter which might create
discussion within. the interval assigned to private
business, the effect might not be to shut out -that
business from the House?
- Mr. COKE said, that lie had no wish whatever
to interfere with
,the; order or convenienCe'of the
house, but' as one of the Menibers for Norfolk,
he felt it his duty to present the Petition which
he held in his hand. He had, however, no ob-
jection to postpone its preserftation until another
day. Indeed, he ratter desired, on reflection,
not to present it until ail those. Members should
be present, who were most competent to the dis-
cussion of the question ; and among others, ha

, .
should wish to See. Ministers in their places. But
feeling that the motion, -of which an Honourable
Member had given notice with respect to Agri-
culture, would be cotnparatively futile, unless the
sentiments of the people, mostioterested upon the
''subject of tligt Wer§ previously laid before -the
House, he must to-morrow take occasion to` pre-sent this Petition. ,
The SPEAKER observed, that the itmiourable
Member mistook his meaning; if he understood
him to suggest the propriety of • postponing the
presentation of the Petition until a future day, as
the only object of his remarks was to postpone
the presenting of it to some other time in the Pre-
sent day..
After,R few words from Mr. H. SUMNER, who
moved the. Order of the Day for the second
reading of
THE INEWiNGTON SELECT VESTRY BELL,
Mr. DENISON rose, and after stating the case,
argued against the Bill to which the motion be-
fore the House referred. There were only two
-precedents to quote support of the system of
Select Vestries which was proposed on this occa-
sion, and those were the Parishes of Pancras and
Mary-le-bone,- neither of which had any analogy
to the case ,before the House. The object of
this Bill was, entirely to exclude the people of
the Parish from 'any concern 'in the imposition,
the collection, the expenditure, or the auditing
of the Poor Rates For seven years back the
Rates were managed by a Society of Gentlemen,
or Guardians 'of the Poor,' who were elected by
the inhabitants at large, twelve of them going,
out annually, but subject to re-election; The
'expenditure, however, of this society was audited
.by the inhabitants at large.-But by the present
Bill, it was proposed to appoint a set of Oven-
seers or GOvernors of the Poor, wholly indepen7-
dent of popular elections, those Overseers to
have the auditing of their own accounts and the

•
power to fill up a,ny vacancy which might occur
among them, without any reference to the people.
But this was not all, although quite enough to
revolt the judgment and feeling of any right
thinking 'Englishman ; for it was proposed that
no Parish Meeting should in future be held upon
any subject, unless summoned and sanctioned
by these new-fangled 'Governors of the. Poor.
The dangers to be apprehended from the. esta-
blishment of such' a system (especially under the
laws lately enacted as to public tneetin4s) wore
so obvious, that. he felt it unnecessary to; dwell
upon them. But he would caution the House,
and the public at large, to look at this .case with
jealous caution ; for if the precedent were ad-

!bitted tie thought that there was but-.too 11.111c4
reason to fear its extension, in order to deprive

•
the people of their old Constitutional - ccintroul
over that very considerable .branch -of. 'taxation
the-Poors' RPe, as well.as to abridge ,whatyet
,remained to thew of the right of meeting public-
ly and petitioning for the redress of grievanc..
The main ground asSigned for this innovation,
and for the rethoval.of a system .under which the
Toors' Rate had been materially reduced,; to-
withstanding the distress. of the times, was,_that
some tumults had taken placein the Parish Cha-
pel, upon the discusSion of a project for_ building
a second Chapel. He lamented any tumult or:
disorder, especially in a chapel,.aS, much as any.
man.. but what was the nature °Olds dis Order?
Why, that theihhabitants,. disliking the.ex,pence'.
of building a new, •chapel, proposed rather: that-
theye should be a third service.in the .old church,.
for'whiCh they requested the Reijor to ask :leave

from the bishop ; but the !If ctor refused to cone-
ply, and left Ole Omit), ivhicit provoked' a cry. of

though the, clauses might be; for as the Pill coax=-•
tabled nothing but the clauses, those clauses co'n
stituted the principle, against the establishmentof
which his Honourable Friend who moved the
amendment; hid urged the strongest reasons._.
But -every 'clause in this Bill was ixreption—
able. Among others, it proposed that which the
116 use _must feel it dillicult to believe ; namely,
that the new overseers of this,parish should have
the power, without any appeal to a Magistrate,' •
to subject a fellow-subject to clOie imprisonment •
and a privation of food.—(llear,' hear!)—lt was
true, as his Learned Friend had stated, that the •
present guardians of the poor of. this parish had..,
appointed a man to office whin was convicted of
receiving stolen goods. But what were the facts
respecting this. person ? Why, that the convic-
tion alluded to took place nine years ago, and,
that immediately after that conviction, a petition •
for his pardon was-presented to the proper °filter, •
which petition having been signed by no less thau
17 magistrates of the county, produced the de-
sired effect.
•
Sir R. WILSON con,idered this, literally as a •
Bill of Pains and Penalties, and protested against
its adoption. was said that there was Some
tumult at a public meeting in this parish; but•if
tumult were admitted as a reason to prevent any
public . body from .meeting, what was to become •-•
'even of that House, where tumult so often pre-
vailed" on the Ministerial side, when any disagree
able measure or opposition was pressed 'upon it ?
But he felt it his duty to object to this Bill upon
•the strongest grounds, considering it, as he did, , •
the initiative of a system for disfranchising the -;
great 'body of the people—for transferring, in-
deed, what yet remained of the right of voting, .
to what niight be called electoral colleges..
(Hear, hear !)-1f this measure were' esta-

BOROUGH OF GIIAMPOUND.

• Mr. S. Wor.TLEy rose to move the Order of
the Day for receiving the Report of the Commit-
tee on the Bill for Disfranchising G rampound and
-trans erring the Elective Franchise to Leeds.-
- Ile said that although the Noble Lord who in-
troduced the: Lill had declined to proceed with-it
oa account of; the qualifying clause which he (Mr.
NV.) proposed having been carried, yet he felt
himself bound to go on with it. • lle, however,
w'.slied to make ~some'alteration in that clause,
and for that purpose thought it would be the
better way -for the House to alloW the Bill to be
recommitted and printed, to give Members an op-
portunity of thoroughly considering its provisions.
The alteration which he proposed to make was,
that instead of the Elector being required to rent
a house at the actual yearly value of 201. it
should he provided, that the elector should be a
householder payit g scot and lot, and renting a
. tenement, whether of 51. or 101. or 151. which
with land occupied by him might amount to the
y-early value of 201., and only where he had no
;and Mould it.lse necessary for the yearly value
of the house alone to amount to that sum. The
.Honourable Member concluded by. moving that
the Order of the Day be read, and the Bill re-
committed-and ordered to be printed. .
• Mr. A futlicßomatE was of opinion that the Bill
ought to be printed before the re-committal, espe-
cially the new clauses.
Mr. S. WORTLF,Y observed, that it would be
-better to go EPA into the Committee, and have
the whole printed. .
An }lon. MEmBEP. stated,' that he was one of
those who had voted for the amendment, which
raised the qualification from 10 to 201. because he
thought that such a qualification would establish
a mode of election, which, without being-iircon-
veniently extended, would be sufficiently popu-
lar; but as it was proposed to re-commit the Bill,
h.e thought it would be right to take advantage of
.the intervening time, and procure an actual rate
of the value of houses in Leeds, that -it. might
be seen accurately how matters stood. •
Mr. LOcKIiART thought more time ought to be
given for consideration, before the House were
hurried into a Committee.

Mr. S. NlToturt.Er stated, that there were 1,690
houses in Leeds, which were rated at 201. a-year.
Mr. HOBISOUSE said he was not present when
this subject was debated on a former night, or
he would have felt himself bound to support the
Npble Lord who brought in the Bill, who, it was
known, had sincere- views with respect to Re-
form, as far as they extetr::_d, but his feelings
towards it were somewhat different when he saw
it in the }rands- of those who were notorious for
not entertaining any such views. However, he
did not mean to oppose the Rill even under the
present circumstances, though, from the begin-
uirt-r„ he did not think it Would answer the end
proposed, mu;:h less satisfy the- wishes of the
country. But he thought it useful and necessary,
t:iat even those who, though intending togamuchl
(Treater lengths in the doctrine of Reform than
the Noble Lord, should come forward and spew

that they were willing to accept of any thing,
however little, when they could not get all that
they desired. That little which the Bill offered
to the people in-its original shape, was however
made still less in the hands of the lion. Member
for Yorkshire, but the Bill had not lost all its
distinctive character, it still bore marks of its

origin, and perhaps it was better that it should

come from the IfOb. Gentleman Ahab the Noble

Lord. TI principle was not altered, it was only
I:apt.d so as to bo rendered more attractive in
the eyes of the Gentlemen_ opposite. It was de:.
