PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.*

Pursoing our plan of transferring to Tnt SUN,
from the columns Of PaovitictAt. JOURNALS, the
sentiments and speculations of the respective
Conductors, on the general posture of political
concerns, we conceive that we shall not only
gratify our Rea►lers, but afford such information

information which they inight to possess, and
Which should not he overlooked in any legislative
arrougetuents, particularly those that relate' to
internal policy. By this plan, as we have before
obsetved,-we shall hold up a faithful mirror to
the people of the Metropolis, reflecting the sen-
timents of their countrymen throughout the
'United Empire. The following article is taken
}rani The Doncaster, ,Nottingham, and Lincoln
Gazette, of the 21st. inst.

" In a numerous community there will always
he found some persoos under the influence of a
restless sitt it, which no existing enjoyments can
appease, and no unlooked-for prosperity can Sa;is-
fy. Change is the only atmosphere in which
they can breathe, and their only happiness con-
sists in incessant vicissitude. A few, of these
uneasy and hustling individuals have endeavoured
to raise the apprehension of war, and we are by
them told, that it is utterly impossible that the
Allies can allow the intrusion ot Portugal on the
Colonial tetritories ot Spain, and that it is equally
absurd to suppose that the same confederates will
condescend to be indifferent witnesses of the ag-
gression committed by the troops of the United
-States against the possessions of Ferdinand, north
of the Gulp!' of Mexico. It must be concealed,
that such representations, involving the question
of hostility. have been propagated with unusual
success, until a notion was entertained,
.which
was sensibly felt in the money-market and else-
where,- that the torch of war would be again
ignited, and that the conflagration might spread,
from the fuel with which it would be supplied by
the corrupt passions of man, from the western to
the eastern hemisphere. In consequence of this
-situation of things, and the needless alarm which
had thus been incautiously excited, a sort of demi-
official notiticaio n has heen circulated in this
country, in which it is distinctly stated that the
policy of the Allied Powers " is most decisively,
that the peace of Europe shall not be disturbed."
We have for a long petiotl endeavoured to im-
press upon our Readers our own confident persua-
sion, that the calamities of war had ht en too se-
verely felt to endanger its early renewal, and that
the blessings of peace were too sensibly enjoyed
to admit of its precipitate disturbance ; but not-
withstanding this conviction, aware from painful
experience bow liable we always are to tniscon-
struction and error, we are glad to find our own
opinions on hotter anthority-confirmed. •
• " The foreign Journals, especially those of
Germany, have a large portion of their columns
occupied in discussions on the important busineas,
for the dispatch of which the approaching Con-
gress is to be assembled, and %Ile are now inform-
ed, that the authority of the Diet of Frankfort, to
which the affairs of that empire were referred, has
not been sufficient to accomplish the purposes for
'which the members were converted, and that it has
become necessary that the High Confederates
should interpose to settle the disputed interests of
many dissatisfied principalities. The tranquillity
of Germany is so essential to the general repose of
the Continent, that it is with pleasure we discover
that the internal concerns of this great feudal
-constitution are likely to be submitted to the de-
termination of those, whose will is not to be con-
trouled, and whose mandate is not to be dis-
obeyed.
" Another matter of particular importance that
is to be deliberated upon in the approaching Con-
gress, is the military force which can he safely
'and conveniently maintained by each of the Eu-
ropean Powers in the time of the Emperor Charles
the Fifth, standing armies were scarcely known in
Europe, and it so happened that a desperate ma-
rauder, who had disciplined a considerable force,
and converted it into a regular military body, ac-
quired a weight and consequence during the wars
with France, which was dangerous' equally to
friends and enemies. Since that period armies have
been progressively formed, until the hostile es-
tablishments of the respective coantries have be-
come so numerous and powerful that immense re-
venues are required for their support, and dread-
ful effects are produced in whatever direction they
'may be employed. Under such circumstances, it
is the part • of prudence and humanity to limit
these establishments, and to reduce them to that
standard, which being sufficient to effect the in-
terior security of the respective Kingdoms, will at
•the same time render it difficult on any sudden
gust of passion, or on any hasty impulse of policy,
to expose to peril neighbouring States. To avert
such consequences, the wisdom of the assembled
Sovereigns is to be applied, and we hope their
nuited exertions for such a beneficial object will
not be fruitless and inefficient.

" Considering the influence of property on the
moral habits of a nation, and the comforts that
are det ived to the lowest classes from its acquisi-
tion and discreet application, it will be seen with
pleasure that inclusive of the 31st ult. the Com-
missioners appointed had received on account of
the Banks for Savings upwards of a million and a
quarter sterling, which had been invested in pub-
lic securities, for the future benefit of the indus-
trious contributors. We wish to them and to their
families a protracted enjoyment of the produce of
their honourable labours."
• The above title originally designated this department of
our Paper, but we changed it for THE COUNTRY, by the ad-
vice of an intelligent friend. It has, however, been observed
that the latter title is not sufficiently discriminative, and
therefore we resume the former. As it is evident that we
cannot see all the PreoviNClA 1. JOURNALS, we deem it proper
to inform the respective Conductors, that when they wish to
have their opinions, a% expressed on any particular occasion,
communicated to the people at large through the medium of
tie SUN, and will send the Paper to us, their wish shell
be gratified.

the following remarks on the young Napoleon. Sir Hudson
leading subject of your letter, Lowe caused theist to be
brought to him, as he pre-
tended, to offer them himself
to the Father, but in reality
to deprive him of them, well
knowing that the Officer's in-
tentions were to sell them at
Longwood. No law takes
cognizance of this action, nor
is there any punishment or-
dained fur it in the laws
enacted against crimes, be-
cause it comes under the ju-
risdiction of opinion; but such
conduct must he reprobated
by every upright man.
3. The English Government
confided the furnishing of
provisions to Mr. Balcoutbe,
whose family was the only
one who occasionally visited
the French, and its whom
they had confidence. Sir.
Hudson Lowe deprived Mr.
Balcombe of the Purveyor-
ship on the Ist of April, 1818,
availing himself of the tempo-
rary departure of the head of
the concerts for London...,
The Purvcyorship has been
since given to Mr. lbbetson,
Commissary-General, a man
of honour ; but his nomina-
tion is evidently titular, as
he is too much occupied with
his other duties to attend to
the minute details of the
service, which will fall into
flip hands of disreputable
persons, void of credit or re-
putation.

3. Napoleon has been af-
flicted with chronic Hepatitis
since the month ofSeptember,
1817. Sir Hudson Lowe has
persecuted his surgeon, and
obliged him to give in his re-
signation, and consequently
the treatment which was put
in practice to subdue the
malady must have ceased.—
This day, Ist of May, the
patient has been days un-
assisted by his surgeon, such
conduct must be * * * *

4. Since October, 1817, Mr.
O'Meara discontinued writing
bulletins, because he engaged,
if any were made, to leave the
originals in Count Bertrand's
hands, which would render any
falsification of them impossi-
ble. Sir Hudson Lowe employ-
ed Mr. Baxter to make bulk-
tins without his having ever
seen the patient. These bulle-
tins are only fit to conceal
projects.

Mr. O'Meara's intention to sth. See the annexed Certi-
quit Longwood was known in ficate, marked 1, of Mr.
England so far back as the O'Meara, in which that Gen-
month of August, 1817, as will tleman declares that it never

ter annexed, No. 1. Longwood. In his letter of
the tit!) April, he gave a con-
ditional resignation.—" I
could prefer giving in my re-
signation4o submitting to any
such restrictions, as no pecu-
niary advantages- are suffi-
ciently powerful to induce me
to give up my rights as a
British subject, and to sully
the uniform which I have the
honour to wear." But if it were
true, that this officer wished
to give in his resignation, what
necessity would there be to
force him to do so? If he had
resigned voluntarily, every
thing would have been regn_
lag; but it appears, that be-
cause he wished to give la his
resignation, Sir Hudson Lowe
forces him. to do so—n hat a
pitiful argument !
