GENERAL CANTERAC. -.•.-- The Etoile gives the following letter from Canteric, in reply to an account published by it of the late events in Peru: 44 Stn—lt would be very easy for me to demonstrate to your readers that there is, if possible, more absurdity than calumny in the account published by you from another Journal, and given by a person styling him self a Spanish Officer; but in order to do so, I should necessarily enter into details which I do not think my self at liberty to make public before I have rendered to Government, who honoured me with their confidence, an account of my conduct. lam on the eve of setting out to present that account, and to develope, at the feet of his Majesty, a line of proceeding of which my con science promises me the approbation. It is not till after I have fulfilled this duty, that I shall be enabled to repel the attack of my enemies; and I hereby pledge myself to suffer no criticism to pass without an answer. I entreat the public to suspend till then their opinion, which lam far from wishing to shrink frotn. While serving Spain, by the permission of the French Govern. meat, I have preserved for my country that affection which all her children owe her; and the opinion of my countrymen can never be indifferent to me. As to the pretended disunion among the Generals of Peru, I affirm, that such never existed; that we have all con curred with equal and steadfast good will in the Royal cause which had been intrusted to us, and that a reci procal esteem united me to the Viceroy and General Valdez. It is but right that I should say as much for that true loyalist Olaneta; time will demonstrate what he is, and everything that contributed to produce hi s fatal insubordination.—Accept, Sir, the assurance Of my consideration, " Bordeaux, July 19. SPAIN. 44 CANTERAC." MADRID, JULY 14. A very important piece of news is in circulation to-day. It is positively stated that the King, befine his departure (for La Granja, where he will reside three or four months), appointed a Junta, or Com mission, which will be independent of the Ministers, and will correspond directly with the Sovereign. This Junta is specially charged to examine the general state of the kingdom, and make a report on the subject. The Duke de l'lnfantado is spoken of as President. The President of the Council of Castile, a Councillor of State, and several other persons, well known for their attachment to the Monarchy, will, it is said, be members of this Junta. Discussions of a very serious nature have taken place between our Ministry and the British Envoy, re lative to the toleration at Gibraltar of the privateers 'of South America, and of pirates called Constitutional, which daily commit depredations injurious to the Seanish commerce and marine. The abode in that fortress of several individuals notorious as the enemies of the King's authority, and who are received there with very marked attention, has also been represented in its true light. The Cabinet of Madrid has displayed a dignity which calls to mind the finest era of the Spa nish Monarchy. General Quesada, who is appointed Captain-Gene ral of the Orasque provinces, is arrived at Vittoria. He has been coldly received, because the inhabitants think that their privileges are infringed by his nomination. Mr. Nelson, the Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States, on presenting to the King his letters of recall, on the llth instant, expressed to his Majesty the sincere desire of the President of the United States to preserve and consolidate the good understandingbe tween the Government of Spain and that of the Un ited States. " After the example of Mr. Monro, bis pre decessor, Mr. Adams," said his Excellency, " will em brace every opportunity that shall offer, during his ad ministration, to prove the sincerity • of his sentiments, by adopting all measures that may tend to increase and strengthen this good tinderstandi9g." There are still some points in dispute between the two nations. hir. Adams places full confidence in the justice and upi ight dealing of his Majesty, and hopes these questions will b- frankly and generously decided with Mr. Everet, who succeeds Mr. Nelsoin-lic drid Gazette. The !;toile, dated WednesJay, contains, Under the head Madrid, the complaint addressed to the King against General Permla, by Joseph Cerberos, Secre tary to the Junta of Purification of New Castile. It repeats the expiei4 ins of the General (which have already teen stated)—thi.t he thought the Officers of the Constitotional Army had done their duty, and that those who had jo't ed •he Royalist Cora deseved to sent to the galleys. This document, which is of very conside able length, i Cated July 2. Its presen tation was folowed by the immediate dismissal of G neral reorient, signed by Ferdinand on the night of the 7th of July. SUMMER ASSIZES. MAIDSTONE BROWNE B. BLATCORB. • This was an action for words imputing a felonious theft, and a certa'n crime to the .plaintiff.—The plain- . tiff was head-waiter at the Crown I .n, Seven 0 Ars, an I . at the time . the words in question were spoken, the de fendant was " Boots" at the same Inn. It was proved that the defendant, on two different occasions, spoke the following words of and concerning the plaintiff:— " There goes the Crown swindler; there goes a ; there goes a rogue and a —. l ' It was sUgested, on cross-examination, that there had been a dispute be tween the patties about wages—the plaintiff not having paid some money alltged to have been due to the de fendant. The witnesses who proved the words said, they did cot believe them to be true; and, from their opinion of the plaintiff's general habits and character, they did not think the worse of him in consequence of the slander. Mr. MARRYAT urged, in drfence, that the words proved could not bear any ac.ionable sense. They were evidently the low vulgar words of an angry man, who did not mean seriously to impute any indictable offence to the plaintiff, but had resotted to this mode of vent ing his abuse. The Loan Cum , Juersce left it to the Jury to say whether the words proved were uttered in the sense alleged in the declaration ? who found for the plaintiff—Damages ics. James Harvey Sadler, aged 30, was indicted for fe loniously intermarrying with Ann Eliza Court, at Hythe, his first wife, Ann Hide, being alive. The prisoner had been a Gentleman's servant, and in 1816 had married Ann Elide, a woman in his own station, at the parish of Cftristchurch, Surrey, with whom he appeared to h rye lived on ill terms, but had had three children by her. On the 17th of April last he had married Ann Eliz I Court, a handsome young Woman, of respectable parents, at Hythe, in this county, with whom he cohabited about a fortnight, and then left her, going to his first wife, under pretence of looking after some property in London. His stay being pro tracted longer than was expected, the unhappy young woman followed him to London, and found him do mesticated with his first wife and family. An eclair cissement took place, to the misery of both women, and the second wife, by the advice of her friends, instituted this prosecution. The case was clear!) , made out, and the prisoner was found Guilty.—Judgment postponed. It illiarn French was indicted, on Lord Ellenborough's Act, fir cutting and maiming Elizabeth, his wife, with a knife, with intent to kill and murder her, at Cha tham, on the 19th of July. Mr. MARSHAM conducted the prosecution. From his statement k appeared that the prisoner had been fre quently afflicted with mental derangement, and confined at different periods in the workhouse at Chatham, and at the Asylum at Beth na-green, as a lunatic, but allowed to come abroad again when apparently restored to sanity. He had been many years parted from his wife, who lived as servant at a public-house at Chatham.— For some time previously to the 19th of July, the prisoner had beets at large, and on that day he went to the public-house where his wife was, and whilst she stood at a wash-tub, he tripped her up, and pulling a knife out of his pocket, declared his intention of cutting her legs off, and on the instant he inflicted a dreadful gash on one of her legs. Her screams brought tire master of the house and others to her assistance, and she was rescued from farther violence. - Two Of the arteries had been cut through, and but for the prompt attendance of a surgeon, the unfortunate woman must have died from the effusion of blood. The prisoner assigned no motive for his conduct, nor did it appear that he had any. It was suggested that probably the act was committed in a returning fit of his former in sanity, and in that view his conduct was submitted to the Jury. The facts of the ease were clearly proved. The wretched prisoner fell into an epileptic fit whilst in the dock, and his appearance denoted unsoundness both of mind and body. Mr. Baron GRAHAM left the Jury to say whether, under all the circumstances, the prisoner was of sound mind at the time the offence was committed ? and if they were of opinion that he was not, directed them to acquit him on that ground. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Net Onffty, M the ground of insanity; and he was ordered to remain in custody until the King's pleasure should be known.

Mr. Baron Cianeats summed up the evidence for the Jury, and the Jury found the primmer* Guilty. He vehensendy exclaimed against the verdict, and declared that he was a lost man, in consequence of die perjury of the witnesses. There were three other charges against him- of receiving stolen horses knowingly. - - YORK, JULY 27. BOOTH V. HAIOH-41LANDElk. This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages, for certain slanderous words spoken by the defendant, of and con cerning the plaintiff.
