DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS

December 22.

[THE TIMES.]
We have before spoken of the accession of
foree'to- :Ministry by the introduction of the
Grenvilles in the person of a relative of that family,.
Mr. Charles Wynn, and the consequent adhesion,
as the French call it, of th 6" whole interest. We
mentioned,. also one of the terms of this new'
connexion, as that ..Mr. Wynn was at liberty to
introduce any measure he might think proper
into 'Parliament, for the relief of the Irish Catho-
lics, and give it all the support of the office over
v,hich he presides. Upon this subject, therefore,
we say no more at present but we have heard
also of another condition of a yet more singular
kind, and which we likewise learn that Lord
Grenville is anxious to make known : it is to this
effect—that Mr. Wynn may. withdraw .himself
from Ministry .whenever he pleases, without
giving those previous intimations which a regard
for the general convenience of the body, and a
sense of bienscance among colleague, have ren-
dered customary. This, if we may use a homely
comparison, is like yoking a proud horse upon
his own terms, and who may withdraw his neck
from the collar, if he either dislikes the weight
or materials of the load, even while the whole team
is engaged in drawing the machine up a hill. If
Ministers have accepted the aid of the Grenvilles,
in order to overpower the complaints of the coun-
try gentlemen (for this is supposed to be the ob-
ject of the league), upon these terms, we say,
they have made a disgraceful alliance for an un-
worthy purpose.—but with respect to Lord
Wellesley and Ireland, we fear the terms are
wholly different. How is his Lordship to manage
his new charge ? What measures is he to intro-
duce ? We have heard that he is to introduce no-
thing but himself; and that Ministers speak of
him as a mere agent—an expletive of Govern-
ment; not as that man, who undoubtedly in his
better days was able -to have thrown order into a
more turbulent population than even that of Ire-
land. There is Mr. Goulburn, his Lordship's
Secretary, a very steady man of business, we
believe; but if all the men of detail were swept
from all the offices of Downing-street and Lom-
bard-street, and Fenchurch-street, and the Mar-
quis of Wellesley were bound to govern Ireland
by the maxims and according to the rules of
these men, he would do nothing for his own ho-
nour, or the good of the country. We find that
Lord Wellesley has not yet left England, and
that he has several visits to make before his de
parture.

[NEW TIMES.]
The French Funds continue to improve ; they
were on the 17th 88. 10. The public business
cf the Chambers is of course suspended until the
retie official arrangements are perfected. One
striking circumstance occurs in the common rou-
tine business of the Chamber of Deputies. The
two new Ministers, Messrs. De Villele and Cor-
biere, had previously been appointed Members
cf the Committee of the Budget. - From this
I,..intaca them to withdraw,
on being appoited Ministers of State. Their col-
leagues on the Committee, however, re-elected
them as Members, thereby shewing the entire
confidence they placed in their integrity, and
the high opinion they entertained of their ta-
tents.—Whatever turn the foreign politics of
France may take, we can never regret the acces-
sion to power of men so unimpeachable in point
of principle as the present Ministers. Idle and
trifling objections are made against some of
them ; but what is the fact ? Here is a com-
bination of talent and integrity from no pe-
culiar source, and upon no exclusive prin-
ciple. Here is a private gentleman, M. De
Villele, unknown to all political party till
1815, but whose eloquence and knowledge
have ever since commanded the admiration of
all parties. There is nothing ultra, either in the
origin, in the speeches, or in the conduct of this
personage. He is associated, on the one hand,
with a Member of one of the most ancient fami-
lies in Europe, the Viscount Mathieu de Mont-
morency ; and on the other with a soldier of
fortune, who has risen from the lowest to the
highest military rank, but whom nothing could
induce to violate the principles of honour ; there
is nothing ultra in such an alliance. M. Corbiere,
another of the Ministers, was merely an Advo-
cate ; the Marquis De Clermont Tonnerre was
a military man—both of distinguished ability in
their respective professions. Is not this intermi
tare of ranks, professions, and characters, one
great pledge of moderation ? Is there any truth in
the alarms held out to us, that the Royalists were
an exclusive party, supported only by the high
Noblose, and -hostile_to any alliance with the
other classes of society ? It was supposed that the
present FrenCh Ministry would be simply aristo-
cratic. We see that the contrary has taken place;
their body embraces men of very different origin,
and no one with the requisite patriotism and ta-
lent has been rejected because his birth was in-
ferior, or his political path less straight and un-
deviating tham it might have been. Nothing is
looked to but the means of serving the King and
the• State most effectually, and it is now happily
felt that to serve the King and the State it is not
absolutely necessary to have committed treason.
A man may be fit for a Ministerial situation who
has neither been a Prefect of Police under Buo-

naparte, nor a Clerk to Buonaparte's mother.—
•Thls is certainly one •step towards a rational and
intelligible system of policy.

[MORNING POST.I
French Papers -to the 19th add but little to
the intelligence previously received. The Cham-
bers-have ',lad ,no fresh sitting, and a suspension
of political business-seems to have taken place in
order to•allow • the new Ministers time to corn-
•plete their arrangements before they propose any
moaluroAo,thet :Legislature. According to the
stuiernert:tt crf-pvilate • letters, resignations ‘-ltiGh
had.,:notila)Ce4l a•oticiisated by the Ultras were
daily rtiaived from public Functionaries, who
•had nett been dotisid-ered-devoted to the last Ad-
ministration. Tile inferexce drawn from this

conduct is that the opposition which the Royal-
ists would have to encounter would be too stron:

to be overcome, and that their triumph would be
but temporary. Should the reported resig-
nations, however, have really taken place, it
would by no means justify any sanguine hope,
on the part of the late Ministers, of being forced
back into office. The only effect would be to
render the Left Side, or the Liberals, still more
decidedly than they are at present, sovereign
arbiters betwee❑ the contending parties. The
two great bodies of the Ultras and Moderes
being nearly equally divided, it would be in
the power of the Liberals to turn tire scale as
they pleased, and to occasion fresh changes
of Ministry until they found men willing to
associate them to the labours and dignities of
office, in order to secure its undisturbed posses-
sion. The foreign intelligence in these Papers
is highly favourable to the Greek cause. Vic-
tory is said to have attended its armies in
every quarter ; and as a proof of the reality of
their success, and of the weakness and distracted
state of their enemies, it is added that 8,000
Greeks had left the Peloponnesus, passed the
Isthmus of Corinth, and attacked and defeated
Churschid Paella in the vicinity of Cinque-Pozzi.
The Senate of Calamata has transferred its Sit-
tings from that place to Tripolizza, the fortress
lately taken by storm from the enemy.

rMORNING HERALD.]
Tuesday's Paris Papers are extremely flat,
particularly as to what relates to France. The
now Ministers have just taken possession of their
Ministerial hotels, and the Chamber had adjourn-
ed over, in order to give them time to arrange, and
give the first impulse to their administrative ma-
chinery. The first questions before the Deputies
will be a motion for a vote of credit, and the new
projet for the regulation of the Journals. In the ac-
tual state of prosperity enjoyed by France, it is
not likely that the former will meet with much
opposition. The latter will probably determine
the character, and perhaps the duration, of the
)new Cabinet. It is somewhat ominous that the
scissors of the Censors still continue to clip the
wings of the Journals. The two principal Ultra
.Journals bear the marks of two wounds—repre•
sented by the usual blanks. From some obser-
vations in the Constitutionnel, we should con-
clude it to be the general opinion that the new
law proposed relative to the Journals would be
repressive, not preventive. But still this is
quite uncertain. Some will have it that the
Drapeaa Blanc is the organ of the new Minis-
try. The following is a specimen, according to
this organ, of a new law to repress abuses of

the Press. As a preliminary step, it proposes
the abolition of the trial by Jury ! and the sub-
stitution of " enlightened Magistrates," with a
great latitude in dealing out punishment—indul-
gent to the lapses of " thoughtlessness and good
faith," on the right side of the question in poli-
tics—but inexorable to " perfidious calculations
and concealed attacks" upon the Church and the
Throne. Respecting the latter, it defines the
discretion as to punishment in these words—" the
application of so severe a punishment as should
deprive the culprit of the possibility of repeat-
ing the offence." We know ❑o other punishment
which would do this effectually but the guillo-
tine, or some other instrument of capital execu-

tion. It is unnecessary to say that we are far
from identify ins; the French Ministers with this
specimen of a law of libel.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.)

Though the removal of a Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland is usually attended with the appointment
of a new Secretary, it is supposed on the other
side of the water that the change would not now
have extended to Mr. Grant, but for certain cir-
cumstances which are confidently stated and uni-
versally believed. The recal of this Gentleman
was, it is said, occasioned by an altercation which
took place between him and the Lord Chancellor
Manners. The story told is this :—At some
conference on the subject of the dishurhances
in the south, Lord Manners taunted Mr.
Grant with the imbecility of his measures,
observing, if his (Lord M.'s) advice had been
taken, the country would have then been quiet.
Lord M.'s whole demeanour and tone on this
occasion is represented to have been so irritating
that Mr. Grant felt himself called upon to make
use of sharp language in return. An express was
immediately dispatched to London with an ac-
count of the fracas, and Mr. Grant was ordered
to be recalled. The most active exertions are
now making, we understand, by the Orange
Party in the North, to excite an apprehension of
disturbances in that part of the country, though it
never was in a state of more profound tranquillity.
Our readers must recollect an extraordinary no-
tice among our extracts from the Dublin Papers
a day or two ago, signed by certain individuals
in the barony of tippet- Orier, in the county of
Armagh, which includes a great part of the con-
siderable seaport of Newry, a notice which
evidently betrays the intentions alluded to by
us. Two of the individuals, subscribing this
notice, are indeed Magistrates ; but many per-
sons find their way into the MagiStracy of I re-
land , who are by no means calculated to
reflect much lustre on the body ; and those
who• know any thing of the two i❑ question,
will be at no loss as to the description to
which they belong.—This notice is unfortu-
nately not a solitary attempt. A late resistance
to a supposed illegal extortion of tolls, was also re-
l. presented as the fruit of an insurrectionary spirit.
