Representation Of Penryn.
The Times, 1824-11-05T00:00:00

Mr. Grenfell has recently published an Addresis to his constitiuents at Penryn, in which we find the following lesson, both to candidates and electors:- *' In the Year 1820, when I solicited the honour ot representing you it Parlinment, I declared to you, in the most unqealified manner, both before and after the election, that I never would be a party to any illegal practiees for the accomnplishment of ITmy object. i11y politicsI conduct, asa member of the Houseof C'ommoins, dur- ing the prcceding 19 years, vas sufficiently known to you * in that line of conduct I told you I should perseverc: and my election at that period was unaccompanied by any of those scenes of riot, in- temnperance, and disorder, wihich too often prevail in our countics and boroughs on similar occasions. " Upon these principles-in a manner certainly mnost flattering to me, and, as I think, honourable to yourselves, you sent me to Par- liament; and during the tive sessions in vrhich I have represented you, I feel confident that I have diligently and conscientiously dis- charged my public dutes, and omitted nothing which it has been witbin my poWeT to Rcconmplish for the accommodation and advan- ge of my conatituents. Gentlemen, you have the untloubted right to prescribe the foot- ing upon which alone a cmndidate for your suffiragee shall receive your support I claim an equal right to decide for myself the princi- ples upon which alone I vwill accept that support. Determined, tien, as I am, rigidly to adlliere to ttie system upon which I have heretofore acted, aInd rejecting, as I am prepared to do, in any quar. ter, a seat in Parliament that is only to be acquired by a dleparture f'rom that system, I feel it due, both to you and to myself_whilst, at the same time, it is the more open and manly course-thus pub- licly and nnequivocally to avow what my views and intentions are. " Vhenever, then, the present Parliament shall be dissolved (tn event certainly not expected soon to take place), I shall again present myselftosolicIt your sufrtages; in the mean time I consider the cause in which I originally embarked with you as your own, and the result (which is in youir own hands) may be, permanently, of inff. nitely mnere importance to you thani it ever can be, pelsonally, to myself. I rely upon youir m tainiuiec your own consistency by an adlkerence to the principles upon which vou yourselves acted in 1820. vhen you placed me upon high ground, from which, whatever others tay do, I never vill descend; and, with tbese sentiments and intentions, I look forward with unabated confidence to ysur decision in my favour at the next general election."

W1NDSOB, Jurne el.-This afternoon about three o'clock, the King took an airing in his phaeton in the Park. The hl)ke of Dorset, Lord Graves, Sir William Eppel, and Sir Andrew Barnard, left the loyal Castle this day for London. His iMajesty is expected to leave the Castle to- morrow for London, to hold a Privy Council in the course of a few days. Mr. Munro, the King's Messenger,-arrived in town on Sunday night, with despatches from the Hague. Despatches were received yesterday morning, at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, from Sir Edward Thorn- ton, our ambassador at Lisbon, dated the 12th inst. Mr. Avis, wwho arrived in town on Friday from Madrid, accomplished his journey in nine dlays. A letter from Paris of Sarairday, states that Count Cara- man is to beShe successor of M. de Chateaubriand, in. the French Mtinistry. There is no truth in the statement in the Kent Herald, that Mitr. Lushington had declined accepting the appointment of Govemnor of Bombay and that Sir John Malcolm had in conse- quence been nominated to that important office.i-Bveniszg paper. 'I'lie following is an extract of a private letter trom Kingston, dated April24:-`"TheIsij frigate arrived from Cartha- gena just as the packet for En and liad'sailed. The Hyperion fri- gate was sent afterher, said to be with the despatches from (olombia of the Britsh Commivsioners, butshe did not catch her." On Saturday the will and codicil of Lord Byron were 10Loged ir. the egistrv of Doctors' Commons, by .Mr. Hobhouseand Mr. Hanson, his confidential friends and executors, for safe custody, delicacy forbidding ihe provinig ef it until the arrival of lhis Lord- ahtip's remains from Greece. 'Tlie venerable Earl of Marr set off last week for Lon- don, in order to pay his respects to the King, upon his restoration to the peerage.

British Claims On Spain.
The Times, 1824-10-07T00:00:00

'I' THE BD)ITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,-My attention having been drawn to the observa- tions wvlich appeared in your paper a few days ago-on the subject of the Mixed Commission now sitting in London for the settlement of clains on the Spanich Government, under the convenitioni of the 12tlh of Marchl, 1823,. I think it right (having ha(l considelerable business-to transact with the Commission) to statc, that grievous as lhave been the delays, ard greatly as the injuries of the numerous claim- ants has been aggravated thereby, they are in no degree to he attributed either to the want of ability, industry, o_ at- temition of the gentlernen composing the-British part of the Commnission, whlo have co:istantly evinced the mnost?lnxions zeal in the discharge of their important duties; and such, I am satisfied, is the sentiment of every claimnant wvho has transacteLl business with them. In thus justifying these gentlemen, I wish td be nnder. stood as not throwing blame on the Spanish Commissioners, who, no doubt, have acted in conformity with the instrucm tions they have received. Tlhat twelve months have elapsed without (I believe) a single claim having been adnmitted, and( that, at the rate thc Commi sion has hitherto lproceedeti, it will require many years to finish the business of examininlg the claims (amouulmtin to some hundreds), are, however, indispuraMle trutlhs; and 'were it not that the claimaints indulge tlme hope, from the character of Mr. Zea Bermudez, w o has recently been selected as Primne AMinister to His Catho. iic Majesty, that the Spanish C(ommissioners will be authorized and instructed to puriue a very diffrent sys- tem, the British claimants wvould feel that tJheir bcst course would be to submit to ilieir losses without further effort.

The Times, 1824-10-20T00:00:00

A rumour is revived, which we noticed some time ago, that it is the intention of Government to withdraw the pittance which it allows to the Spanish Patriots who esoaped to Engiand when their country was subjugatedby the French. We think such a measure would be cruel, an(l not in conformity with the general coniduct of the British nation towards the distressed. If it couild be shown that occasions sprung up in wlhich they might serve their country, and which they neglected, then we should say, force them into action by withdrawing their pensions: but if the same cause whiclh first drove them from Spain still exists in full vigoui, we cannot see why the relief which was once granted should be now vwithdrawn. If their con- duct and circumstances remain the same, wlhy should tve change ? Do we wish them to die of want in our streets? Or would we consigni them to the lhands of the executioner on their native shores ? Perhaps the Holy Allies are (is- satisfied that men who have once aspired after free(lom, and.attempted to impose a Constitutionial Governmenit on thc acceptance of a despotic Sovereign, should be suffbred to live any where. But if so, they cannot, surely, find partners in such a fceling in any class of the Britisli people. WVe must still hope, therefore, that the rumour is uinfouniled.

In. consequence of the numerou- iiggestions throighi the medium of the puiblic press. recommending the taking advantage of the open- mng occasioned by ltc late conflagration in Flect-street, to preserve to the public the view of that noble edifice the parish chureh of St. Brilc, which is one of the flnest Works of Sir Christopher Wren, a meeting of between tweutyand thirty of the principal inhabitants of the parlsh was held yesterday morning, at the vestry room, for the purpose of tAlking the subject into consideration: the Rev. MAr. CLArLE, the vicar, in the eiair. Air. Drgps, the surveyor, exliibited two or tiree plans for the proposed opening, andi a long conversation ensued, in which Ilr. SPOIT reawoon, the King's Printer, whois exlcedingly zealots for tie improvement, took a prominent part. The meeting, indeed. wva unanimiious that it would be highily dlesirable to prevent the building from being again obscured, and the only question appeared to be upon the practicability of carrying the improvenient into efrect. IlIr. iMlARMIOTT,Wi1O was one of thiesuffprers at the late fire, ex- pressed his conviction that if asy plan for preserving tihe opening in front of thc churcl should be dete=miued upon, subscriptions for the purpose of effecting it would be forwardted from persons of taste en. tirely uinconnectedI with the parish. Ile had authority to say, that a resqpectabIe inhabitant of the paris!i was alteody in possession of a list of names of individuals, will ofdirs fvr that purpose, to the amount of 801., which had been transinitted in consequence of the reconm:nendations of the public press upon thc subject. A committee of seven gentlemen was then anpointed to make the necessary inquiries of the ground-landlords and others having in- terests upon the spot, how far they might be disposed to enter into negotiations for the sale of their interests, and to ascertain what in that case wolid be the expense likely to be incurred to complete this desirable improvement, and to report therebnm sr.

MTARLEOIOIGR.-STREET.-On Saturday WQiliam Thurlow, the person in custody on a charge of robbing Emilie Sr. Ange, a young French girl, of a gold watch, &c., was brought up for final examinaion. Tl;e only addi!ional evidence was that of Edward (;ox, the sh1piran oti lr. Essex, pawnbroker, in the StraTd. who produced the va-ch, and iden ified the prisoner as the person who pledged it; and a watchman, who stated that he weut, by directior. of'the prisoner, When he was taken, to the house of a Mrs. Campbeell in Thornton-plice, Regent's Park, for the gold chain DOw prod=ced,. which was at first refused, but afterwards given to him. Mr. HAI:EIE, and a number of respectable friends, attended on behalf of the prisoner; but in this stase of the case no defence was offered, and, after the whiole of the evidence being read over by the clerk, the prisoner was fully conmmitted To Newgate. Mr. Simpson, a respectable auctioneer in the city, stated, that he has knowun tbeprisoner and his fkawily fbr2O years. ?iheprisoner is thc son of a highly respecrble clcrgymnan and magistrate in thecounty of Etssex, and it was tohirn(Alr. Siml)son) quite unaccountable how he could havebeen guiltyof such an act,foramere honest, well-conduct- ed, and inoffensivemanhe never knew; and as to-anypecuniary dis- tres, that was out of the question; for he (Mr.*3unpson) had within the Last week seid a property at (*arraway's Coffee-house for the pri- soner's father, the proceeds of which (3,2001.) were intended lbr the prisoner's use, so that he might have applied to hirn tor any sum he wanted. and, indeed, he had gtiven him ntoney three davs ago. The only wvay in Which this extraordinary conduc; of the prisoner could. be at all accounted for, Ir. Simrpson said, was, that his mind has been for somrie time past greatly larassed by domestic afflictions, which must have unsettled hinm in some deree, he belutq the person whose name has been so much before the public in the divorce cause: of ' Thurlow v. Thurlow," and in which he has partly sacceeded- If this were a case, llir. S:impson taid, that could be arranged by asy p ecuniarv conmpensatior, no sum shouid be wanted for that purpose ; but as it was, the unfortunate man must take his tral, and trust to a m nerciful viev of his conduct. .Mr. Taylor, a respectable solicitor, who is the law-agent of the prisoner's father, also said that had the prisoner applied to him he could have had 4001. in a moment; for, in fact, he had thAt aum of I his in his hands at that very time. it was stated that the prosecutrix is a professionsaT lady, belonging to the French theatre in Tottenhawr-street.
