was aatural for the plaintiff, when he stumbled upon his wronger, to resent his violated honour. He did not lay wait for him—be met, and rushed upon the slayer of his happiness. The cold • blooded wife, as she was called, " how natures erring fr6m her self," threw herself into the exciseman's arms. At the moment that the daughter was paying- the most tender attentions to a weak and aged parent—at that moment did the philosophical hypocrite rob the mother of her daughter, the husband of his wife, and the wife of her virtue, peace, and honour. The plain tiff was in double trust—that trust was violated. The lady's blood was cold, the moral philosopher's was warm. One of the witnesses called against the plaintiff was a coach herald painter ; little attention ought to be paid to his evidence ; it was his busi ness to blazon. There were many cases in which the plaintiff's Counsel night go upon weak grounds—apposite cineri dales. This case was quite different ; it was, on his part, supported by sorts of testimony, not by relatives fraternising together for a particular purpose. Marriage was the source of all the relation. ships of life; the Jury would guard that source from pollution. An English Jury would never allow the violator Of the marriage contract to say in his defence—" I saw you come out of an inv. proper house in 1809, therefore I will seduce your wife-4 mw you beat her in 1808, therefore I'll seduce your wife—l saw' you bruise her at another period, therefore I'll seduce your Wife.", The Lord Chief Justice DALLAS having summed up in his usual perspicuous manner, the Jury consulted for a few minutes, mid returned a verdict for the plainsitl—Damages £5OO.

The i?rench Papers of Wednesday mention the con tinued disag►eement of the Regency of Spain with the French Government, the Regency wishing to act as a separate body, which the French Government %%ill not consent to. The preparationsfor war donut seem to go on with energy. The Duke D'Atiooumme. reviewea a few troops previous to their leaving_Fatis for the P)renees. It is supposed that the Duk4 of ORLEANS is at the head of a strong party at Paris, and is exerting all his power to prevent a war. It is comparatively seldom that motions in Parlia ment for the production of information, which it would not be injurious to some measure then in agi tation to disclose, are opposed. by the Ministers. We, therefore, were surprised that they should last night have resisted, and successfully resisted, a motion made by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, which had for its ob ject to procure correct statements as to the persons who return Members to the House of Commons. From public inquiries, most of the facts on which ill- formation was asked are already known. Nothing, therefore, was gained by opposing the motion, except to beget a thorough conviction on the part of the people that the Ministry would, if possible, keep them even in darkness as to the persons who have usurped the power of representing them. They will believe, with Mr. ARERCROMBY and Mr. CREEvev, that the " reton was only withheld be cause the House was reigly ashamed to expose its present state." The arguments used by Mr. CAN NINO were so futile that we must in charity think the Hon. Secretary was taken by surprise. He made also • an assertion nearly as barefaced as that made by the present CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER last year, • " that it was necessary for the Government to possess corrupt i enenee, on account of the progress of the peo • ple in knowledge." Mr.Ca NNING stated that he and his • friends who voted with him, " opposed Parliamentary Reform, because they dreaded change more than then' desired improvement." But as every improvement is necessarily a change, this is an assertion on the part of the Honourable Secretary that the Govern nient of this country dreads, and his vote, founded on such a reason, thews it opposes improvement. We leave Mr. CANNING with this admission—fully satisfied that the existence of such a sentiment on the part of those persons who have to administer the affairs of this country, adequately explains its present state, and takes away all,hope of future amelioration. French Papers of the 19th have arrived, but bring no intelligence of importance. On that day (Tuesday) it was said, the gardes-du-corps who are to attend the Duke of ANGOULZDIS, were to be reviewed by the Princes, and to leave Paris for the frontiers on Wed nesday. Letters from Perpignan speak of active pre parations for war. But a Morning Paper states posi tively that the Duke of ANGOUL&MZ was not to proceed to the Pyrenees before the end of six weeks, or the end of March. We have before stated the Deke's journey was postpnned till the beginning of next , mouth ; and this further postponement indi- cater, at least, reluctance on the part of Primo te begin the contest. This delay is of great importance, whether occa sioned by the circumstance that an army cannot Oast the Pyrenees until more congenial weather, or by the powerful interference of this country. In the in terim, the irritated feelings both in France and Spain, may subside, and lead to that most desirable object, Peace. We understand the.above information came from the Duke DE Guinn's, Aid•de-Camp to the Duke D'ANGOULEUE, to a person of high rank in this country. To a question from Mt—Elnountutst last night in the House of Commons, Sir Geottoa CLERK replied, that the Admiralty had received no information of the Brest fleet being at sea. On Iklonday next, also, the Marquis of LANiDOVIN `is to put some questions to Lord LvrEftroot. as to the state of our foreign relations, which promise to re lieve us from our present uncertaiuty as to the con tinuance of peace. " Bayonne Papers have arrived this morning. The following are extracts: BAYthiNE, FEBRUARY 13. In St. Sebastian, 9.500 troops of the line arrived on the 10th ; another division, of equal force, was ex pected in a few days. The Spanish frigate Arethusa arrived at Passage on the 9th, from Cadiz, having on board fifty piece's of cannon, and a considerable quantity of warlike stores and ammunition. We expect troopi to the number of 9084 men, who ate to be at Bayonne by the IGth of next month. We learn from Madrid, of the sth inst. that the Government has given indirect orders to close the Landabnrian.Club ; in fact, there ha% been no meet ing since the 3d. AB well disposed Spaniards highly approve of thi% measute. From the want of resources at home, and cre dit abroad, the qinr.erhMent is embarrassed how to meet its extraordinary expenses. All hopes and all eyes are fixed on England. The new levies have been made with astonishing facility, but the conscripts are in the depots without clothing and without shoes. This Want of resources increases the uneasiness of the t icher classes, w ho fear lest the Government should be obliged to have recourse to extraordinary coati butions.. The retort of the removal of the Royal Family, of the Cortes, and the Government, to Cadiz or Badajos has . made a deep impression at Court. It is believed that this measure will certalnly - take place. f Cadiz offers the Government a very secure asylum, but Badajos has the advantage of enabling it to keep up a copstant communication with Portugal The activity of the Ministers is extreme. Up to the Ist the Government had not granted any letters of marque to the many persons who have applied for (hem. - SPORTING INTELLIGrivat. • ..4% • ifirrirtwo AT TATTERS/ 0 44UL yEs.ito.• „.

The examination of witnesses was this clay proceeded with , and at the moment of putting our Paper to Press, the examina tion of Mr. Justice Burrough was concluded. Previous to it, Lord Portsmouth's Soli..aor was examined, who seemed to think his Lordship not exactly capable of managing his own affairs.— A letter from Lord Portsmouth to Lady Portsmouth, written in 1820, at the time of the Queen's trial, w - s read, which gave a very distinct account of a division which h.d taken place in the House of Lords, and was altogether a kind, well-written, ra tional letter. The evidence of Mr. Justice Burrough was also very strong. He stated that he was born within eight miles of Lord Ports mouth's family seat, in Ilampshtre ; that he had known him for many years before his first marriage, and continued ac quainted with him up to 1814, or 1816, at:d during that period he had no reason whatever to believe Lord Portsmouth had an unsound mind. He had never seen the least symptom of lu nacy, but believed Lord Portsmouth not to have a very s:rong understanding. He had transacted business with Mm at As sizes and at quarter. Sessions, though he could not recollect that ever Lord Portsmouth had taken his seat as a Magistrate. Had seen nothing up to the latest period of his acquaintance with Lord Portsmouth, to induce him to alter his opinion. Re membered• him particularly well, on several occasions, doing all, the duties of an hospitable latidlo4l with great propriety, and paying 'touch attention to his guests., This was in 1814 or 1815, in the month of September. Hadieldom been alone with Lord Portsmouth, generally in society. • Never saw Lord Portsmouth follow a dung-cart, ill-treat )ii servants, or 111-treated by them ; ou the contrary, they always chewed him great respect. Never heard Lord Portsmouth speak of anent!" as black jobs, or ex press delight in rinsing bells. Knew Lord Portsmouth had a utedical attendant, but never thisught him necessary on account. of Ms Lordship's state of mind. Knew of the deed of trust executed-in 1799, but knew no good reason for executing it.— Had been Counsel for Lord Portsmouth at a trial at which Lord Portsmouth was Prosecutor, and subjected to a cross exantion.. don ; thought his answers oultegoropor ; did not see Lord Ports mouth get up in Court and applaud the verdict ; be bed fee quietly talked to Lord Domingo* on matters of holiness, acrd Lord Partusseuth always talked rationally.

ANONYMOUS SLANDER. COURT OP KING'S 13ENTM FEBRUARY _e. UR DAVID OGILBY J. CIIANNON. This action was brought by Sir. David Oxilhy,•an Offizer his Majesty's service, and Lady Elisabeth his wife, against .iotaChannan Eaql and Eliza his wife*, to recover tiarniges fur slanth7 . The declaration charged the wife of the defendant with bei :g the writer of four anonymous letters, to as many per.ons, intention to injure the honour and reputation of Lady OgilhF. The letters were all without dates, except the date of the Post-mark. The first was addressed to Bareness Nolekens, at Dromptee, and bore the post-mark of the 17th of May, last year ; the se. cond to Lady Paxton, the third to Lady Deranges, and the fourth to Mrs. Levels Desanges. • The letters, with some slight variation, cautioned the parois to beware of the woman LadyOgilby, who wished to c cue inn society, after moving in the back ground many years from a good cause, having been known to. be the companion of disgust* characters. Her object was to take away people's character. married or single. The writer expressed fear that she bad done so with two se three respectable families. Her horrid intriguing sister west with bet. Sir David Ogilby was described as generally creating - dhgracend tales of people, who would not notice him. It was a shame each people should get-into revealable society..--The letters woes all signal" A fiend to Morality." Mr. &marry stated the ease.

In conse quence of the circulation of the slander, Lady %Shy .suspected Mrs. Channen as the author, and was taken ill on meeting her at a ECU, given by Mr. Penn, of Spring-gardens. The lotus were written in a feigned hand, bet certain peculiarities in the composition would leave the Jury no room to doubt that Mid. Chanson was the writer. A great number of witnestea were examined is support of the plaintiff's case.

That Lady was a woman of perfect education, and incapable of tau the cerurs found hi the letters. • The Loan Cuts, Ithaca, in his charge to the Jury, said, this case proved how nista it monad be to the advantage of them selves and others, if pertimmiseiring anonymous letters would put them in the fire the very moment they came to band.— In most instances anooymene stung might famish some with, but hi general the ATOM" .11iptt Of their information was false.
