DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS

EMORNING POST.]
•
This great metropolis presented yesterday a
mast animated and interesting spectacle. It was
not that of a common holiday. The Easter week
is always a period of festivity, but never did fes-
tivity wear so hearty a look as that which shone
forth on all sidei amidst the multitudes by which
our streets were crowded, to a late hour last
night. It was Easter Monday it is true, and
summer heat had succeeded to a long series
of dull nnpleasant weather; but neither the in-
fluence of the festival, nor that of the weather,
would have produced such an unusual exhibition
of public hilarity, had it not also been the time
appointed for keeping his Majesty's Birth Day.
—lt was that which enlarged the bounds of
rejoicing, and made it as . universal as it was sin-
cere. The legionS of holiday folks (as they are
tciTnea); 'bent their course, as usual, to Green-
wich, to people the solitudes of ,the Park, and
make its celebrated hill a living cascade; but the
soberer thousands who paraded the metropolis,
did it, not in search of amusement, but to seize
the first public opportunity which had been
offered to them of showing their respect and at-
tachment to their Sovereign. Hence the multi-
tudes asseinble were of the most respectable
description, and the chief feeling which
prevailed amongst them, , seemed, to be a wish to
prove that the delusion so artfully raised a few
months since, had completely passed away. A
determination to do ample, though tardy justice,
revealed itself on every countenance. The in-
jury done to a noble minded King by the acti-
vity of the evil-disposed and the credulity of the
weak, was the theme of general regret, and ge-
neral resolutiobs were formed to redeem the
errors of the past by neverfailing loyalty and at-
tachment in the future.

[NEW TIMES.]
Yesterday no news of public interest arrived,
except an official account of the surrender of
Alessandria, and of the submission of Genoa to
the authority of the King. This is what was
generally expected. Rebellion has so completely
failed, that the scene of its attempts is now
looked to with little anxiety. From Turkey we
have no more recent advices than those already
communicated; but the remarks extracted from
a German Paper received last night, which form
a continuation of those inserted some days since,
are not unworthy of attentive perusal. What-
ever may be the tendency of any, speculations on
the extent and object of-the Greek Insurrection,
it.is necessary to bear in mind, that no accounts
of undoubted authority have been received, and
that in what we have there is probably much of
falsehood and exaggeration.

[THE I IMES.]

In ancient times emigration was wont to take
place, when a country becime insufficient to the
maintenance of its inhabitants—that is, when the
people vvete so numerous as to require more for
their support than the square miles of their ter-
ritories could prodtice : a pestilence from Heaven,
or an emigration of tribes in that case became ne-
cessary, in order to reduce the contents to the
capacity of the continent. The emigration of
the present day is the very reverse of that just
described. Here we have an abundant, a super-
abundant produce at home (Lord Liverpool as-
cribed the distress of the agriculturists to profuse
crops), and the people flying from it ; corn in ex-
cess to eat, and the mouths by which it should be
eaten diminishing.; land
.running to waste, and
the hands that should till it, removing. to cultiyate
other soils in distant clittaes„ igratiop..2 t4ere.:.
