AMERICAN PAPERS.

(From the New York Morning Courier of Aug. 18.)
NEW YoaK, Auc. 18.—The Carthagena Correspondent
of the Courier des Etats Unis writes, under the date of
July 21, that a new insurrectional movenlent had taken
place amongst the Colombian troops of Peru, in which the
Peruvian troops participated. The General-in-Chief La
Mar had ben displaced, to make room for General Santa
Cruz, a devoted soldier of the Liberator. The cry of the

On the morning of the 15th, the British barque the
Lady of the

Captain Leitch, arrived at this
port,

under charge of the Uni ark. From
Captain Leitch we learn that the Lady of the Lake sailed
from Liverpool on the 15th of Juno last, for Philadelphia,
having on board 169 passengers, and her lower hold full
of coals and crates of earthenware. The passengers has'.

found to supply themselves, a stock of provisions accord-

Captain Leitch, in order to prevent starvation, found
it necessary to serve out the ship's stores among the
passengets. The water, in addition, being very bad,
was served out sparingly. Much discontent was, in

LONDON,
AIONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, IS2B.

The French Journals of Friday have some ac-
counts from Constantinople, according to which
the Russians have not been so successful as might
have been anticipated. Little stress, however,
is to be placed on these accounts ; at any rate
they are to be received with due reserve, more
especially as they are evidently penned in a
strong spirit of exaggeration. Still, supposing
them in the main correct, what do they prove ?
Surely not that the Russians have altogether
miscalculated the chances of success, but that a
falling nation has made, and is still making, a
last desperate struggle—the temporary convul-
sions of weakness. Russia never could have
expected a lounge to Constantinople. She
could not have fancied that the Turks
were to lay down their arms and receive
her with acclamation. Opposition she must have
been prepared for ; and our only surprise, con-
sidering the character of the SULTAN, and the
high tone of his manifesto, is, that she has met
with so little.

HUSSEIN PACIIA, it seems, is the great man
who has defeated the Russ;ans in their last at-
tack on Varna. To his activity the SULTAN
attributes his present successes, and has rewarded
him with some appropri2te presents. The con-
spiracy at Constantinople is, as we suspected,
unimportant.

A new Expedition to the Morea is on the eve
of sailing, probably towards the end of the
month, from Toulon. If the Quotidienne may
be believed, its first object is to possess itself of
Modon and Coron.

The Dutch and German Papers state that
IBRAHIM PACUA is assembling his troops, and
intends to take up a position between Modon
and Coron. He has, it seems, no intention of
quitting the Morea, but is fully prepared to repel
force by force. The negotiations entered into
with his father by Admiral CODRINGTON may
probably induce him to alter his resolutions.
From the same authorities we learn that the
Turks have made themselves masters of the re-
doubts at amnia, and slaughtered numbers of
the enemy, and among them General WR EDE.

New York Papers to the 20th ultimo have
been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house. The following is an extract of
the latest date from Lima, (the 3d of June)
which states, it has been agitated in Congress to
prohibit all those articles which now pay 90
per
cent.; it has been even proposed to prohibit flour.
It seems, however, not probable that these plans
will be put in force ; at all events, if such a prohi.
bition should take place, a term of at least eight
months would be granted previous to its taking
effect.

Rio de .Janeiro Papers have been received.
They contain little or nothing worth mentioning
except Don PEDRo's proclamation to the Por-
tugues'e• In this interesting document, lie chooses

one spark of honourable feeling, must be stinging
in the extreme—that his brother is under the
influence of a misguided faction, 'and acts solely.
on compulsion. To the Portuguese, generally,
he recommends, in temperate, but energetic tan-
g►►age, obedience to the Constitution ; and after
inveighing at some length against the infamous
bloodthirsty faction that at present lords it over
Portugal, exhorts them to approach Don Att-

GuEr., and firmly point out to him the dangers
that beset his path.

Accounts from Lisbon state that the Govern-
ment are putting in a state of defence the Forts of
Belem and St. Julien, as they entertain great
fear that the Emperor Don PEDRO will soon
send a squadron to blockade them.

We have generally abstained from noticing
the errors of our Contemporaries, excepting
where they sinned more from perversity of pur-
pose than from ignorance of fact. We feel as-
sured that the public must care little for the
squabbles of Journalists, as proceeding more
from interested motives than from that high
principle which alone ought to influence those
who aspire to public confidence. But when that
honourable confidence is abused by those who
appeal to its candour, it becomes the duty of the
Pleas, generally, to denounce tl►e culprit, that
the public may be put upon its guard against
those who value less consistency of principle,
titan an opportunity to bring it to the best
market, and worship the idol of the day.
In our Paper of Saturday we pointed atten-
tion to a .Journal which should be nameless, but
for its Spanish ambition to have more names
than subscribers,—a Journal which had as long
a train of " aliases" as any worthy that has lately
figured at tl►e bar of the Old Bailey. Of that
Journal we should have taken no further notice,
but from a conviction that our duty to the public
demands exposure of the many base shifts by
which it has lately courted notoriety.
It may be in the recollection of some that the
original name of the New Times was the Day—
a name by which the Newsmen still designate
the renegade. But that name had no more
charm for Readers than for Advertisers, and the
honest trader thought of getting both by assum-
ing the name of the Times—a Paper which it
vainly attempted to copy in all but its spirit and
intelligence—feeling well assured that the bow
of ULYSSES was too mighty for such hands.
Under its new title it has groNin old upon the
public, notwithstanding its incorporation with the

British Press, and re-incorporation With the
Representative. All would not avail it—no,
not even its union with the Courier; which
latter, with instinctive sagacity, to save itself, has
discarded the many headed Journal.
The New Times begins now to feel that one
good name is better than many questionable ap-
pellations ; and accordingly, we understand, that
among " the various changes and improve-
ments" which it announces are to astonish the
world in a few days, is to be an entirely new
name—tumour says the " Morning Journal !"
For this one act we commend it, because it be-
tokens a sense of shame ; a twitch of conscience

betrays. that all is not right ; for a man would as
soon forswear his country as change his name,
unless he felt that he had outlived its worth.

With this happy change we have not heard
whether it means once more to change its prin-
ciples—that is, whatever of principle is left to
bear another turn—but we presume, judging
from the past, that a new Prime Minister can
best 4nswer this question. Within the last twelve
months, England has had four Prime Ministers ;
and the New Times, true as the dial, as many
sets of principles. With Lord LIVERPOOL it
was ultra—against Free Trade and Catholics ;
with Mr. CANNING it was the most violent ad-
vocate of both, and the most unsparing of that
great Statesman's admirers. With Ldrd GODR•
RICH it veered a little; and with the Duke of
WELLINGTON—but let consistency be spared—
tee will not say how much his cause is graced
by the would-be Morning Journal !

A " Morning Journal"—fond deceiver—
. Times may alter, but not thou—
Neu• or old—what name soever
Suits thee—shame still brands thy brow.

But the public arc not, perhaps, aware how
much our old friend, with a new name, hopes
to make by this last flourish ;—why, under the
name of a Morning Journal, it expects to catch
all those indefinite orders which are sent for " a
Morning Paper." Failing in its attempt to gain
a livelihood from the stragglers from the Times,
it enlarges the sphere of its piracy, and now tries
to pick up from all Morning Journals alike.
But it won't do—it is the last shift—the forlorn
hope of prostitution. We pity those Country
Bankers who have now taken the hireling into
keeping—all her arts will only serve to render
their speculation the more desperate—the Sy.
ren's notes will prove as unavailing as their own
—and we should not be surprised if they die
together, unless they consign her to the protec-
tion of other Jobbers, who may have a hopeless
reputation at stake.

To-morrow we may possibly " show up" this
erring
nymph of consistency—for her errors are
upon record. She may affect csntempt, the
better to hide the bitterness of her spirit—but

our scorn may do her some good ; for the chas-
tisement is meant more in pity than in anger.
To the public we say, in the language of those
sarcastic gentlemen with long poles, who en-
