14AILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING rArEns,

November 00.,

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The capture of Tripoliza is now placed beyond
all doubt. A Parganiot Colonel, of the name of
Cephalas, had observed the negligent manner in '
which a part of the ramparts was guarded by the
Turks, and he took advantage of it by an im-
mediate attack, which ended by putting the
Greeks in possession of the place.—This Cepha-
las is one-of the many persons who are repre-
sented in the Proclamation to the lonians as de-
ficient in a due sense of gratitude to us for driv-
ing them from their paternal hearths, and com-
pelling them either to accept of the right of
citizenship under our Protectorate, or to be
thrown on the world at large. The theology,
and the notions of patriotism of their new Pro-
tectors, do not seem to be very palatable
either to the Pargauiotes or the lonians.—
The Continental Papers dwell Very much on the
advantages which Europe would derive from the
formation of an independent Greek State. The
Journal des Debats, after quoting an article of
some length on that subject, briefly but expres-
sively observes, " We see that the author of
these reflections does not think that it is neces-
sary to consult England as to the execution of
his plan.", This Ultra Paper presumes, there-
fore, on a total difference of feelinc, between
England and France respecting the Greeks.—lt
is to Austria, no doubt, that Ministers look for
their most efficient support on the present occa-
sion. They would have done better to have
assisted, or at least not opposed, the struggling
Italians. Austria dare not move for fear of Italy,
which, after all, she cannot long retain. She
may shew her ill-will to the Greeks, and may
issue blustering Declarations to the minor Ger-
man States ; but her hands are tied,—and this
Russia well knows.

[MORNING POST.]
The French Papers to the 19th inst. are filled
with details of important successes .obtained by
the Greeks in different quarters, over their brave
but ferocious oppressors. Several versions are
given of the capture of Tripoliaza, but they all
agree in stating, that although-taken by sur-
prize, the Turks fought with the most undaunt-
ed resolution, and. when reduced to the posses-
sion of a few houses, and those houses set on fire
by the conquerors, still refused to surrender, and
only ceased to fight when they ceased to live.—
lt is melancholy to see such heroism displayed
in a cause which casts a stain upon its brilliancy.
Repelled with great slaughter in a fourth attack
which they made on the position of Cassandra,
the Turks were pursued as far as Salonica, and
are represented to have experienced a great
defeat in the vicinity of Arta. Their loss in this
action is estimated at 10,000 men, and that it
was very considerable seems placed beyond all
doubt by the fact of their having fallen back
as far as Larissa in Thessaly. They are also
stated to have been severely handled at sea in
several actions, in one of which seven of their
ships were sunk, and one taken. The rest, to
the amount of forty, took refuge in Zante in a
crippled condition, and it is added, that, consi-
dering this as a violation of that.neutrality which
Sir Thomas Maitland had ordered should be ob-
served even in prayer, the islanders had obliged
the English Authorities to send off those vessels,
which could scarcely avoid falling into the hands
of the triumphant Greeks. These Papers also
contain some details of the occupation and de-
struction of Athens by a Turkish force. On the
arrival of the Mussulmen before that city, the in-
habitants are said to,have taken to flight. Only
five hundred men barricadoed themselves in the
houses and fired upon the invaders, who fought
their way valiantly through the streets. Flames
on a sudden issued from the houses, but it could
not be correctly ascertained by which party the
fire had been kindled. The account then says,
" The lower town is almost consumed. The
Turks occupied the citadel before the insurrec-
tion, so the monuments in it have not been de-
stroyed. The Temple of Theseus has not suffered
any damage ; but the Turkish college, the
mosques, and the temple of the winds, have been
more or less injured. It is reported that the
house of M. Favel is totally destroyed, which will
be a grievous loss to the arts, as that Gentleman
had in his possession invaluable archeological
treasures,—the fruits of many years' indefatigable
labours in collecting antiquities."

MORNING HERA F.D.]
The periodical offerings of human blood are
so familiar, from frequent and regular exhibition
at the Old Bailey, that they have lost much of
their inherent horror. Yesterday eight wretches
were executed, and one half of these for the
crime of forgery. It appears to have been
thought expedient to enforce the bloody penalty
upon the bond of the statute in consequence of
the retreat of the one and two pound notes from
circulation. We venture to say that the supposed
relation between the premise and conclusion
here stated will be as puzzling to the under-
standing. as it is revolting to the humanity of
most of our readers. What operation upon
the . contingent commission of the crime was
likely to he produced, and has actually been pro-
duced, by the change in the circulation ? Why,
simply. that the facility remained the same, whilst
the temptation became stronger. The Bank has
grown up a ,second Executive Power in the
State, .with an awful penal dominion over the
lives of his Majesty's subjects. It is mere quib-
bling to say that the execution of the law rests with
the judicial and Executive Authorities, when the
law itself is in the hands of the Bank, and is alter-
nately enforced or relaxed with a fluctuating discre-
tion which it is quite dreadful to contemplate. We
would suggest to any person to compare the trials for
forgery fora given number of periOds to take note
of the number and nature of the criminal acts,
and to refer to these the number of cases capi-
tally prosecuted, and of convicts capitally exe-
cuted. We undertake to say, that whilst the
;mount of criminal acts preserves a certain uni-

eorrnity, the -amount of capital 'punishments,
either from the discretion of prosecuting on the
greater or lesser offence, or from the non-execu-
tion of the sentence, presents a wide and licen-
tious latitude of rigour or relaxation, more like
the careless, capricious justice of a Turkish
Pasha than that of a free and civilized am--
murky, where punishment is apportioned to.
crime, and the law executed by persons bound
to do justice between criminals and society.
We believe that the relaxations male by the_
Bank proceeded from humane feelings, and give
them credit for them ; but, having taken the
ground of mercy and compassion, it is shocking
to see a return to a rigorous enforcement of the
law. Our advice to the Bank would be to re-
commend, through their organs in Parliament,
the experiment of more humane enactments, and
a more steady enforcement of them.. If this ex-
periment should fail, then they might demand
the more frequent ministry of the hangman with
a tolerable grace. As it is, the system of mortal
terror is too uncertain and vacillating.

[NEW TIMES.]
Although the capture of Linn by the Inde-
pendents is extremely probable, there is room for
reasonable doubt on the subject. It is very true

that letters from Buenos Ayres, of the beginning
of September, positively announce the fact, but
they refer only to accounts from Santiago de
Chili, of the 13th of August, as their authority.
Now, in addition to various private commu-
nications, are Newspapers from the river Plate,
which include advices from Santiago de Chili, to
August 20, and they only mention the fall of
Lima as possible, quoting (as the Buenos Ayres
Gazelle of the 29th August did) the authority
of Captain Spencer, for saying that the place
could not hold out long.

The Times argues against the Ministry beingl
in the hands of those who possess Parliamentary
influence. Burke, in his Essay on the Causes of
the Present Discontents, supports the contrary
opinion. But Parliamentary Reform is necessary
to abolish this usurped power of the Ministers !
Which is the first county in England ? York-
shire.—Which the second? Devonshire.—Which
the first city ? London.—Now Yorkshire, De-
vonshire, and London, give the Ministry six.,votes,
and the Opposition two. Is Parliamentary Re-
form to do away with this state of things or not ?
The Ministry are said to be all-powerful in Parlia-
ment, able to retain or regain office at pleasure.
The Whigs are therefore advised -not to accept
the Administration, except on condition of Par-
liamentary Reform. But what sort of Parlia-
mentary Reform is ,necessary to put the Whigs
in power; and who is to give them this Reform ?
They cannot carry it themselves; it is said the
King could not carry it for them if he would ;
and it is quite certain that a Radical Reform
would put them in a worse plight than they are
in at present.--(Mid.)

[THE TIMES.
We are charged in one of the Swedish Jour-
nals, -and in an article which assumes to be offi-
cial, with imputing to the King of Sweden a de-
sign to change or overthrow the Constitution of
Norway. We have never 'shewn ourselves ad-
verse to the principles on which the reigning Mo-
narch has conducted his administrations and cer-
tainly never intended that so sweeping a deduc-
tion should be made from the facts stated ; yet
there was just around at the time for-suspicion.
The collecting of troops at Stockholm, for which
no regular employment could be assigned, was
notorious; and nothing could• be more natural
for the merchants of Stockholm, who suspected
the intention to exist of overawing the delibera-
tions of the Diet, to interpret the subsequent
visit of the Russian Minister to the King
at Christiania, into a remonstrance against
the apparent destination of his troops. What
the real object of the mission of General Suchte-
len may have been, though the Swedish Journal
asserts that 44 it is known to he quite foreign to
the affairs of the North," we are not informed.
Our facts were given on the authority of letters
from Stockholm, which we considered deserving
of credit. After all, this promptitude in disa-
vowing any design of the nature imputed, is a
good omen for the Norwegians, who, we trust,
will be left unrestrained, according to the prin-
ciples of their Constitution, already solemnly ac-
cepted by the King of Sweden, to establish such
a form of Government as the Representatives
may think best suited to the habits and happiness
of the people.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
It is not a little amusing to observe in every
discussion that takes place in Parliament, or else-
where, upon the relative claims of the agricultu-
ral and the manufacturing bodies, the ready
anxiety the combatants respectively evince to
disclaim the notion of wishing to separate their
interests. Each party loudly declares that the
interest of the whole community comprises the
several interests of the parts, and that if one
suffers, the other cannot prosper. Neither
party would therefore accept of an advantage
which in their conscientious opinions might,
by possibility, inflict a serious injury upon the
others. This always sounds exceedingly well,
and being founded in good sense and good policy,
as well as in good and kindly feeling, it never
fails of exciting warm applause. The difficulty,
however, in the case is, that when this excellent
doctrine comes to be applied practically to the
affairs of the Empire, neither party will yield one
iota of their several pretensions, and thus is pre-
served a feeling which cannot be distbiguished
from rivalry by any disclaimers which can be ut-
tered. Each party conceives that its peculiar in-
terest ought first to be consulted, and that its im-
provement might thus be made the channel of con-
veying prosperity to the other. In the mean time
both parties suffer, and it is unfortunate that in this
state of general affliction each very erroneously
considers that it is sacrificed to the interests of
the Other : no notion can be more unfounded.—
The agricultural body is unhappily, at the pre-
sent moment, very much depressed ; but, if we
look to the state of the.manufacturing and com.
mercial body) we shall see no great cause for at-

tributing the sufretings of the others to their,
prosperity. We are sorry to perceive that our
Gazettes begin again to exhibit long catalogues
of bankrupts, which offer a fearful indication of
the real condition of the country. It is at all
events quite manifest, that whatever project
of relief the agricultural body may devise, it
must not contemplate any encroachment upon the
declining condition of the commercial and manu-
facturing interests.
