r 1 pp? , 334 i3oatcript- LOND3N, MONDAY, DECEMBER 2. Three o'clock, p m. The Paris PapersofThursliy and Friday arrived List night. It is evident, even from the contents • of the Alinisterial Journals, that the affairs of the Spanish insurgents ere hopeless, and it is admitted that Mina has made himself master of Urgel, the chief seat of the rebels, but they add that the insur gents, 1,000 strong, had made themselves masters of the &add. It is, however, perfectly well known that the Bsrott d'.Erol:es bad not even half that number with him, but even these, the Comfits/Um ad affirms, were abandoned by their leader; and the Regency is placed in u still more desperate situation. The commercial letters assert, that M;na had gained a con.plete victory over the Art.•y of the Faith, and that he was joined by more than half the -troops of the Baron. The army commanded by Menus, hi Catalonia, is stated at 30,000 men, and General - O'Donnel, who, next to D'Erolles, is the chief hopes . of the insurgents, was as Irati, and up its the 18th ult. had made no hostile movement. An express arrived in town yesterday from Paris, stating that the heavy raatorial of the Army of Observation was actually retuoving from the Spanish frontier to the arsenals from which it was brought. If this had& pence is correct, the . Ultras who were so anxious for war have been disappointed in their hopes. M. Montmorency was expected in a few••days from Ve , roar in Paris, when Ministers will receive such infingtat ion as will probably render their politics loss equivocal than they are ut present. •I'he ligence received 'fromXerona is of the 20th ultimo. The rising of Congress, it. is said, is definitively fixed for the Bth inst. According to private letters, it is resolved, that there shall be no general Declaration with respect to Spain issued by that .Assetubly—. .even. tie expedient of addressing separate notes to • t hat Power. has. been .abandoned.—There is no mem ber of the mercantile community, however attached to Monarchy in the abstract principle and the ba lance of power, who does not sincerely and heartily wish that the Diplomatists of Verona should neves. re-assemble. It is probable that the Government of •France, not having interfered with Austria taking military possession of Naples, expected that the Em peror Francis would not opi.ose the views of the French Government with r;:spect to Spain. In this they have been disappointed, as it is said that the Austrian Minister at Congress, and the Duke of Wellington, were decidedly against the invasion of that country by the army of France.—The French Funds on Thursday had fallen to 881.180 c. The depression, it is said, was occasioned by unfttour able rumurs transmitted in exprcs:ies front London to Paris. A letter from La Guayra, d Act' the 4th October , states, that the Columbian squadron, arrived there from Nlaracaiba, hat captured a vessel from Porto Rico to Portir.cabello, with a cargo valued at 65,000 dollars, and ofkr taking out part u her em i t°, de stroyed her. The following is an extract of a letter from Capt. F. Church, of the Salecia, dated Dardanelles, Oct 3, 18.2:—" I am at this moment waiting my clearance from this castle. I was informed that the Turkish fleet is cruising off Hydra and Spessiti; so I suppose I shall deliver my cargo at Napoli di Ito mania..—P.S. I am this moment inthrined an officer /sus just arrived here from the fleet, with despatches for Constantinople, in 15 days from Nit . poli di Ito mania, where the fleet then was; and it appears their next destination will be Nlytilene; but us the wind is now favourable, I am in hopes of joining the jicet at the /iPrnier place in the course of three days.

Mr. Sergeant Pell that the question in this case arose out of an action brought by Mr. M , instsnley, the auctioneer, against Mr. Richard Hill, the attorney, of ebancery-lane, for 221. Ms. for bnsiness done by the plaintia in his profession, in his profession in the year 1813, and to this action the defen dant bad pleaded the Statute of Limitation. lie (lid not com plain of the plea, fur it was a useful mid wholesome statute, to prevent a man from bring called upon to pay over again • debt nt a distant period, when he might have lost original documents; but by the Statute of Limitation it was net necessary that an actual promise of payment should be made within six years ; it was quite enough to show that any thing had oceurred within the prescribed period which el idenced the existence of the debt ; sad, in this clue, be could go to that extent. Mr. Sergeant Vsnglian said, that his client did not intend to take advantage of the Statute of Limitation; all lie desired was to have the account examined—but he had swill so in the begin ning. The case was here agreed to be referred. Letters from Pat is observe that the prohibition at the English Ambassador's with respect to letters to and from Logland, is very rigidly enforced.-- The Duke of Orleans, who has been in the habit of sending a great number to England by thischan nel, was politely inthrmed when he sent several let ters to the ambassador's, that they would not be thrwartled, as Sir Charles Stuart had given a posi tive pledge to the French Government that no more • letters should be sent by his courier except on offi cial business. It is generally understood here, that this is a mere post-office interference, in consequence of the considerable sum that the practice took from the revenue. You may take this, however, as a fact: it was found that several suspected characters, whose letters might have been opened at the Gene ral Post-office it they had come regularly, were in the habit of sending and nueiviag communications with impunity, by means of the British Atubassa• does bag, and therefore it was very properly stated to Sir Charles, who readily complied with the wishes of the Government. By command of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, a letter has been written by Alr. Coulburn, to the Lord Mt.yor of Dublin, expressive of the Viceroy's entire approbation of the judgment, firmness, and temper with which his Lordship discharged his duty, prohibiting the dressing up of the statute of King William, on the 4th of November, which duty was rendered difficult and invidious by the peculiar cir cumstances of the moment. On Monday, Mr. Sheriff Thompson went to the office of Mr. Peel, for the purpose of representing, that the case of Itooerts, who was sentenced to be executed, was one to which the Royal clemency might Iht extended. The Secretary, however, re 'alit:a, that his Majesty saw no grounds for tdtcring the iktermtuatimt already made liauwo. LONDON: Printed and PiAli.l.taf by lbe P►oprietor. JOHN 1 . 11 .
