SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

There is an interesting fact communicated by
the last arrivals from Constantinople. We arei
told that a petition has been presented from the,
Greeks 'without the Morea to the Grand Seignor,
announcing their submission, and praying for
mercy ! This is a good old Christian manoeuvre,
transferred to the secret councils 'of the infidels,
from countries nearer home. It is in the nature
of a snug " hole-and-corner" petition, suggested
by the Turkish Tories, to the Greek sla es who
inhabit that part of the ancient republic now oc-
cupied by the soldiers of iVlahomet, and
therefore liable to be hanged or shot if they do
not sue for mercy. It comes in the nick of
time to form the text of a new note from the
Reis Effendi to the Allies ;—" You see, Gentle-
men, how little occasion there is for you to inter-
fere between his Highness and his Christian
subjects : you want to make them free, while
they themselves are satisfied with subjection.
Go, about your business, we pray you." this is,
we repeat, a very pretty and adroit manoeuvre.—
May we suggest that Austria, with all her inge-
nious diplomacy, is not quite so profoundly cle-
ver as she imagines herself to be ?—Times.
In another column will be found a paragraph
from the Brighton Guardian, detailing the
commitment, imprisonment for nine weeks, trial,
and acquittal of a boy of ten years of age, on the
charge of having stolen from the field of T.
Rogers, Esq., of Kingston, a quantity of corn of
the value of three half-pence ! " Bail," says the
account, " was refused to be taken by' the com-
mitting Macristrate ; and, though evidence was
offered to he produced, that he was not near the
spot at the time when the crime was said to have
been committed ; but, on the contrary, was at
work with his father, the worshipful man of au-
thority was inflexible." We have here a striking
exemplification of a viee in the English criminal
procedure, which, more than any other, perhaps,
has tended to degrade the lower orders In vain
the inimitable Fielding raised his indignant voice
against the arbitrary power of commitment ; it
subsists unimpaired ; and, we fear, will, continue
to subsist. The wonder is, how the feelings of
the people should not have been so far blunted
by the frequency of acts of this nature, as to ac-
quiesce tamely in all cases. It is said, unplea-
sant consequences wore threatened to the actors
in this scene of aristocratic unfeelingness. In
re.sclin,,,e. the Reports of the various Commissions
appended to the French Codes, nothing strikes
an Englishman so much as the anxiety every
where expressed to preserve alive the feeling of
honour in the people. Speaking of a Law of
Brumaire, year 4, for making decisions in
police matters final, when the penalty did
not exceed the value of three days' labour,
or three days' imprisonment, the Reporter
of the Commission of Legislation ob-
serves, " This disposition was little con-
formaule to the national character. The
slightest invasion of what constitutes personal
consideration, is beyond all price in the eyes of
every Frenchman ; it can only be a matter of
indifference to mert hardened in crime, and the
legislator ought to make abstraction of theM in
his combinations." The French System of
Criminal Procedure breathes throughout a spirit
as opposite to that of England as light is to
darkness. The English seems to delight in
committing without reason, and acquitting with-
out reason ; it would seem to have been dic-
tated by some malevolent demon who wished to
destroy all honour in a nation, and to throw
down every barrier between virtue and crime ; to
deprive virtue of security, and to deprive crime
of apprehension. The French, on the contrary,
surrounds the citizen with a multitude of securi-
ties, before committing him finally for trial ; its
anxiety is, that no innocent man should suffer,
and no guilty man escape. It is not necessary,
said M. Dhaubersart,. President of the Commis-
sion of Legislation, ", it is not necessary that
justice be indulgent, provided it is impartial ;
and the rigour of its decisions will be always
balanced by the severity of the examination which
prece.des it." The Marquis of Lansdowne has
a noble opportunity of distinguishing himself, by
the improvement of our barbarous system of
procedure. The reform of some parts of our
law will be difficult in the extreme, and great
judgment must be brought to the task. But the
defects of our criminal procedure are so obvious,
that a Laplander or Samoiede could point to
them; and they have only been preserved to this
day in all their pristine barbarity, becatise our
Legislators have been too intent on preserving
hares or partridges to bestow any consideration
on the people, and too much • interest on'their
own concerns to deem anything else worth at-
tending to.—Morning Chronicle.

It appears from the Paris Papers that a sort Of
farce is acting by the Porte and the Greeks, with
a view to spare the former the mortification of
seeming to have been, forced to treat with the
latter. The continental Greeks have consented
to submit, oil the condition of obtaining forgive-
ness, and the Turks will octroie them such terms
as have been agt:eed on with the Allies.—/bid.
At the bottom of the Irish emigration plan
are a number of Irish landlords, who, having
been instrumental in aggravating the wretched-
ness of their native country, by rack-renting their
tenantry to support their extravagance abroad,
are now alarmed lest the misery which their, sys-
tem has pro(L.ced should drive the unfortunate
peasantry on their estates to acts of desperation,
They are desirous to thin their numbers, that
they may diminish the physical force which
they have alienated from their interests by
cupidity and oppression. Most of these
landlords, however, pretend to liberality in po-
litics, and are advocates for giving to the Roman
Catholics political power ; but they well know
that the suffering population, whose resentment
they dread, care not a straw about what is ab-
Catholic Emancipation." The
surdly called
peasantry are shrewd enough to know, that the
placing a few Catholic Aristocrats in Parliament,
and bestowing silk gowns on a few Catholic Bar-
ris.'ers, will not have the effect of adding a penny
to their wages, or giving an additional meal of
potatoes .and salt to themselves and their children.
It is of far more interest to them that rent should
he lowered, than that the whole of the Catholic
Bar should be made placemen and pensioners.
It is of far more interest to them that their land-
lords should spend the money at home which
they derive from their Irish acres, than that Mr.
O'Connell or Mr. Blake should make five hun-
dred speeches yearly from the Treasury Bench
of St. Stephen's Chapel, Westminster. In fact,
the great mass of the Irish peasantry care little
who are the Statesmen or the Judges, or the
legislators over them, provided they can get
cheap laud fur their potatoes, and good wages
for their work. But the landlord's agent, who
in general has two objects to serve, one to in-
gratiate himself with his employer by servility
and exaction, and the other to make his own
fortune, canteat, consistently with those objects,
