The Times, 1824-01-23T00:00:00

A statem-ent in the New lorlc papers, whiv h are arrived to the 26th ult., confirms preceding rumours, and if true is of great importanco. It is asserted, on the authority of information from WFashington, that the British Govern- ment had offered to confederate with that of America to resist any attempts of the Holy Alliance against the newly established inzlependlence of the South American States. The statement is countenanced by iMr. CANNING's declara- tion, that this country would not suffer Spain to confer her nofzl7fl supremacy over any of her colonies on any other Power more capable of obtaining real possession of the ceded territory. If the fact is as stated, America would have had the greater confidence in putting forth her late (leclaration, that she would not suffer any attempt from Europe to overthrow the independenece of the late Spanish nrovinces.

IVe are happy to findl that the Irislh Magistrates have begun to txercise an active control over the conduct of the New Police Constables. In the county of Kilkeniny a ser- geant, of' the namiie of Dickson, has been committed for tri 1, on a chitrge o. atrocious outrage, with intent to mur- ditr a pterson named B 4n.EY, into whose house lhe with a party of police-mneni forced his way at night; and in the lNim"n s County another sergeant has been displaced for needtlessly chaining a prisoner, afterwards liberated by the M\lagistrates. It is intolerable that such laws as now exist in Irelanti shouldi be so aggravated as they have often been by illegal cruelties, couimitted unider pretence of carrying them into execution.

On Saturday several of the distinguished but unfortunate Spa. niards now resident in this country, waited on General lina, at his residence7,to convey to him some recent arrangements fonned by the Spanish ommittee and others;* ard they availed themselves of this opportanity to impart to their countryman their sympathy fbr the sufferings he had. undergone and their admiration of the fortitude with which he had hitherto borne them. Amongst those present were several of the exiled Deputies of the late Cortes-Galiato, &c.; and there was also a member of the Spanish priesthoo. Hle addressed the General for his companions, and at the end of his fSpanish and complimentary oration, the reverend orator introduced a Latm quotation. Mina knows only Spanish and English; he is wholly unacquaint- ed with the French, Italian, or Latin; and he is moreover a decided enemy of ceremony. The Iatin quotation enabled hnn to rally, and to rescue himself from a multitude of words; and he thereapon good humouredly remarked.-" Ah, ahl! Mir. Priest (the observa- tion, however, was made in Spanish), had you addressed m-e in iny own language, I should have been prepared t.n:sweier.yo),* btitsiiice you speek to me in a tongue I do not understand, it ig impossible for ne to make any reply." Atnongst other communications forwarded by the Committee to the Spaniards, it was stated that the Refugees would, according to the class to which they should be Ibund to belong, receive 30s., 208., or 15s. a week; it is, however, apprehended, except there be some fresh supplies, that the Spanish Committee's Fund will'not last any great lengthof time. 11Iia's health was considerably impaired during his several cam- paigns. He was on one occasion much frost-bitten, and the sharp weather of the last tWO or three days affectd the Genera in a some. what similar manner, he was so much affected by it, that on Thurs- dayhe was unable to leave his zoom, hbut he had yesterday greatly recovered, and was enabled to meet his Spanish friends. Their afFection for him appeared to be very great.-Eveningpaper. IMI.

'lhls was an action to recover from the Earl of Egmont the amount of a bjker's bill. M.5k C. PHILLIPS opened the case to the jury. It wai one, he said, which would impose little trouble on them. The plaintiff was a respectable tradesnman of Chariton, near N'oolwich, and the jury woald no doubt he surorised to hear that he lhad been c3tnpelled to institute tiese procee4rlgi for the recovery of his bill, amounting to :3001. 8s. lOd., bring the sum total of tlhe expense incurred by the de- fendant for the suppiy of bread and fiour to his family during a period of nearly foar years. He should prove to the satisfaction of thejury, that tie bread had regularly b. n supplied, and as it had not been paid for, he would thus entitle himself to their verdict. Elizabeth Batty said she hae lived in the Earl of Egmont's fh- nuily from l8i to the close of last year, anti the), resided at Black- heath during tbat period.

Sirt ROSE PRICE, BtART., AND) THE REV. C. P. LE GRrcE.-There appeared in the last number of the Corniewall Ga- zette, a letter addressed to the forn er of these gentlemen, under the signature of the latter. The hon. baronet, it appears, was late]y the President of the local branch of the Society for 'romoting Chrisiean Knowledge, and the rev. gentlernan its Secretary. The letter in question reminds the baronet, that ` I forwarded to you the reso- lntions of the committee of this district for Promoting Christian Knowledge, in which they lament your refusal to resign, and there. fore remove you from the situation of President, in consequence of your avowed disbelief of the essential doctrines of the Established Church, and of your dedared determination to disseminate your opi-- niona bye'very means in you power." Afteradvertingtosomemat- ters of minor impertauce, the Rev. Secretary returns to the subject of the committee's resolutions, thus." The resoTutibns of our committee werre 'not formed for seeing your correspondence with me, for only three of them (clergyimen) had ever seen it: but from your avowal to the ReVerend Iir. Townsend, and to me, I tTiat your opinions were well known; that you hd4 promulgated them every where, and-that you woul. disseminate themn by allthe means in your power:' that.your opinions are, that our Saviour was no more thd incarnate than either of us; that he was as much the son of Joseph and MHary a's either of us is the son of nur own father and mother; that atonemient through the blood of Christ is an absurd doctrine; aun you ilustrate& its absurdity by expressions wnich I do not choose to repeat, but have recorded. These,Sir, were the chief points of your declaration to -as (though there were many others) which induced the society to forn their resolutions.- In your letter on say that yon yield to no man in attachment to the Church or in ioyal t. How is it consistent with attai:h1nent to the Church to im- pugn its doctrines; to send for a book publiahed by Unitarians for the declared purpose of diapersingit; to acknoivledge that you re. gard Enianson's Dissonance asthe greatest blessing ever conmerred on you ? How is all this, and more of similar sentiments, consistent with attachment to the Cliurch? And' as for loyalty-do you'think thatyou diffuse loyalty by declaring, and asserting that you know it to be a fact, thatwith respect'to the Trinity, the. King is of the same sentimeunts vSth yosurse$. I am bound to say that I do not I cannot, I dare not, I will not believe this assertien:; aid will frani-lv confess that where your.loyalty begins, minc would cease. I ask you, how do you Imow it to be a fact ? " C. V. ILE GRICE*"- Laidon apaer.

He had just arrived from his seat at Wimble- tdon, and had only had time to make the usual inquiries re. spectidng the business of the day, when he sunk nder the fatal stroke of death. He wgs iri thV QTth ycr of his a . Mr. MARPaVAT was ona.of those sUperior inenJ, none pf whomn can ever retire from the world without leaving g great gap behi-nd thern, which it wfil require a long time to fill up. It would be needless to speak of this gentleman here with the view of making him b2tter known: for there wvas scarcely any one of distinguished character in cotlmer- cial or political life, with whom he must not have batl sotie intercourse, or formed . some relations ; and whom he has not left stron3gly impressed. with respect for his eminent taeits anid manly lntegrity. But it is useful to recal to memory the virtues of those who have ceased to.bc a living example. Mfr. IMARLRYAT's literary attaipmients shed a lustre' over his commercial pursuits; whilst. the, sobind experience of the man of business,. .assisted by: pract'cal good ser.se and knowledge of the woriltl, 1 arted an useOi fulness to his character beyond the reach of mere talent or' learning. .

Wthatever may be the issue of the West India question, the planters will have lost in Mr. MARItYAT apowerful and zealous friend; the abolitionists an honowrable adversary. We hope that the former will not despairof establishing whatever they may have of right in their pretensions; and that the latter will, from the sug- gestions of their own minds, adopt that prudence and mo- deration in their measures, which would have been vet more forcibly imposed upon thern by the genius and acti- vity of the deceased; that they will receive with caution some of those representations, the fallacy of which his scrutinizing inquiries might have detected.
