We have this morning received Bayonne papers of the 3.1 of July. The delay of the Mail thither from Madrid, • aid the non-appearance of the Bulletin, had gi►en occasion to the tifeulation of various reports which are stated in these paps-s, but which, kfter the receipt of the Paris pa. pers previously quoted are not worth 'repeating. The ceo tents chiefly deserving notice are the following: -- • We have just received letters from Saragossa. width say that the garrisod . of Lerida made a sally on the 20th with a superior force, and proteeded in the direition of Namara, where Santas Ladron had collected the troops which were employed in the blockade of Menzon. This General is re ported to have sustained so a lost that he bad sent on the 21st to Saragossa, earnestly desiring a reinforcement. It: the same letters it is affirmed that H. R. H. the Doke of An gouleme had been la imminent danger of being carried off by a guerilla party on a promenade which he took in the e'ivirons of the capital. It is affirmed that the siege of St. Sebastian will commence next week, and that it will be con . Ltd to Colonel Binh who is now Director of the fortifica tions at Bayonne. M. Martinez de la Rosa has obtained holt% the Minister permission to reside is any pled• In France that he shall hint proper. Brusselis and 'hitch Papers have Arrived this forenoon, horn which we entra , l the following : PRANKFOAT, Juur 2.—The Corps of Austrian troops who evacuated the kingdom of the Two Sidlies in the spring, and have been cantoned for some months In the States of the Pope, and in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, ills received orders to continue its march to the Garman ,province of the Aostrian Emptier.

It Seelo3 to relate to instructions to be given to the Deputies to the nest Diet, upon several poirita which have for some time past been frequently alluded to in the. public Journals. The decision of the great Council of Prlburg against the al stem of mutual Instruction, has produced a bad effect on the whole Canton. The Superior of the primary schools at /ahem. and his fesssistants hare ceased their functions with eul waiting for the nolliketion of the decree; they will not submit to the Jesuits. The Municipal Connell which lhas always shown the greatest zeal in propagating the aystem of grwteellastru_tion did every thing to prevent this step, but hi yen.

Mr. Brougham, on the Scotch Law Commission Bill, took seeattion to take a most sarcastic review of the pro reedings of the Court of Chancery in England, and the conduct of its venerable patron. If it were now the fashion for the opposite party to affect to have any pub. lie reputation, they woald doubtless have been goaded into a reply, and we should hare had one of those splen did debates Web were customary when Pitt and Fox were disputing for the possession of the public mind. That period is, however, passed. We have a more hum hie, a more peaceable race in office. They are so modest, that they do not like to expatiate on their own merits . They are content that their virtue should be its own re. 'trark with the trifling addition of the salary it receives. -and when the voice of censure is raging loud atilt them, t'.ey exemplify all the patie •ce of Christian legislators, all, with Lord Ellenborough, when they find it cannot be l.ushed,tbey cry, "let the storm blow over us !" Thus the .V.torney-Oeneral, that mild, meek, placid, agreeable gen tleman, forgot all the supposed inherent fury of his office, zel only regretted that the observations had been made, ~~~.1_._. _.0.. - I as they were quite uncalled for by the 'Measure before the House. Mr. Canning confessed Maisel( totally un acquainted with the merits of the elite; and Air. Wethe rell, with all Imaginable gravity, &ter:mined—aye, that be did—" nut to give any opinior at present." Recurring to the measure,we agree with Mr. Brougham, that it is strange." 'tis passing strange," that the Lord Chancellor should be so constantly trying his band at what he calls legal reforms, and amendments, and yet that lie has never remedied, nor attempted to nmedy, one abuse, or the shadow of an abuse, in the Court over which he has presided so many years, and in which all the evils that are separately to he found in all other Courts, are congregated into one fatal focus, and com bine to wither the hopes, and blast the interests of all who are subjected to its influence. It resembles the cave in the fable, into which whoever entered in the pride of health, and bloom of youth, no mat ter• how short a period they remained, returned shrivelled as if with years, and loaded with all the in firmities of age. The Chancellor is always looking about for some one to help him in the discharge of his duties; which is a constant confession that he is inadequate, in his opinion, to the duties he bas to discharge. The plain question is, why does he notresign? Learned, wise, and amiable as he is, there are in kogland, " five hundred good as he." But then the salary, and the fees—he finds no difficulty in taking them; and why should he resign while he can discharge this molt important duty to his own satisfaction? to 1813, (said Mr. Brougham) his language was, " I want a journeyman Chancellor, that 1 6 , may get to the House of Lords:—and in 1823, I want a journeyman Speaker, that I may get to the Court of " Chancery:" Sir James Mansfield, when urged in his age to resign his judgeship, used to reply, .that he could sit upon his horse; and while he could do that, he was quite sure he could sit upon the Bench. We do not know whether the Chancellor is a horseman, Or not; but it would seem that he was gradually prepar ing himself with a whole levy of journeymen, upon whose shoulders he may sit, while they do all the work. He has got a journeyman Chancellor, in the Court of Chan eery. He is to have a journeyman Speaker in the House of Lords, to determine Scotch Appeals, the most trouble some part of the business of Appeals. This will soon be • precedent for another journeyman to hear English Appeals. Then, as the Chancellor's infirmities increase upon him, he may ask for a journey. man Keeper of the Lunatics under his paternal awe thority;—a journeyman Guardian for all the pretty young ladies, who, by playing their pretty pranks, encroach upon the time of the Lord Chancellor—a journeyman Superintendant of the Bankruptcy business—a journey man Hearer of theatrical disputes—in sbort,he may soon have a journeyman for every separate branch of his avo cations :—and then, as the business will be all provided for, at the public expence, he may close his long and illustrious , by introducing a Bill to reward his la bours, by making the salary of the Lord Chancellor, and the fees of the Court of Chancery, hereditary in his fa mily! That is the sort of blessing which the country generally receives from " eminent lawyers !" and though this would be rather "a big blessing," let it be remem bered it would come from the hands of " the most emi. neat of all the eminent." ,Ask the Attorney-General if l he does not think so? Mr. Hume moved for certain papers relative to the conduct of Sir T. Maitland, in reference to the quarantine laws at Malta. It appears that Sir Thomas has had a medical beard, which was complaisant enough not to insist upon the observance of the quarantine laws " on the part of the Governor," and that, in consequence, the Maltese trade had so:f2rell, by the refusal of other ports to admit their vessels, as they had not at Malta conform. ed to the regulations deemed necessary by the maritime states; of the Mediterranean to prevent infection. The Maltese therefore called for a strict board of health, that should not allow the regulations to be evaded, even to accommodate a Governor. Since we have read Dr• Maclean's treatise on this subject, we have great doubts u healer the whole system of the quarantine laws ought not to be abolished, and something less em barrassing to trade, less expensive, less contradictory to all known principles, and more efficacious as to the object in view were adopted. The common sense of the case is certainly with Dr. Maclean. Granted that the plague is a highly infectious disorder, It is barbarous to compel the whole of a ship's crew to remain in contact with it, when an individual on board happens to be infected. This, if the cootagionists are right, is absolutely mur dering the poor creatures, by imprisoning them within the reach of its influence. On the contrary, if it is only incidentally contagion% the confinement on board a close vessel is the most likely means of contributing to its extension. Roomy hospitals, free air, and the improved diet which might be obtained on shore, would be the better treatment. But all that is old, must be deemed good in this period. The dark ages are about to be forced upon the world again ; and a precious world it will be., if the Holy Alliance should prevail. THE STATESMAN ' ..~,~ drama at Seville; it is too 'evident that Genera Moral* wait a party to the expected arrangement; aad his open ,defection is the consequence of this disappointment, It cannot be denied that this deepens the gloom that hangs about the success of the Spanish Liberals ;—bet Mina, Villa Camps, Lopez Banos, and others, are still faithful; and the Cortes would do well to invite adven turers from every quarter of the world to join the Spa nisi; bands,who are stillin arms against the French. Bet. , ter that Spain should fall into any bands than into these of France. Better would it be to recal the Moors, than to suffer the French liltrasto dictate the terms of a slavish sulunission. As the circle narrows roond the de voted friends of the liberty of Spain, the anxiety en creases as to the mode in which they .will finally acquit themselves. The virtue of the Homan Urutna, and the Greek Aristides is expected from them. Nothing but the resignation of the one to bear, and the courage of the other to strike, can confer upon them the meed of immortality which their conduct hitherto has led the world to believe they deserve. SPAIN. The prompt and patriotic conduct of the Cortes, in the removal of Ferdinand to Cadiz, has had this good effect: it has brought matters to a crisis, and exposed in their true characters the parties who are the most prominent in the affairs of the Peninsula. All the parties who were intriguing with France, have been compelled to discover themselves; and among the rest we have to record a name, which will not surprise many of our readers—that of General Morillo. How such a man came to be Amsted, it is too late to enquire. He bad a command in Gailicia ; a province the moat capable of defence; and was at the bead of the greatest number of the disciplined troops of Spain. He has not yet declared himself a partisan of the French ; but he has disowned the authority of the Corte', for the removal of the King to Cadiz. This is stating in terms as plain as the traitor deems it prudent to speak, that he wished the King to fall into the hands of the French ; for this would have been the inevitable result of his remaining at Seville. The Cortes, therefore, had no alternative between submission to France, and the remo val to Cadiz; and it . was the duty of such men, at least, to prolong the contest to the last possible moment. But every thing was arranged for the finale of this politic ,1 ' A SLAP itf,THE BAR. Ina rasa on Thursday, in the King's Bench, in which the plaintiff (a London merchant) was nonsuited, Mr. Holmes, his leading Couns.l, observed that the action was brought under the advice and opinion of a very dis tinguished English lawyer.—Mr. Gould, who was for the defendant, replied that he (Mr. H.) was enabled to admi nister the same conmi 'don the day before to another English suitor, against whom he was concerned, ar.d whose declaration consisted of two hundred and thirty seven sheets, drawn by an eminent English lawyer.— (Dublin Keening Post.) It would appear from this paragraph, that the Irish gen. Beaten of the long robe are grown a little jealous of theiv English. brethren. It must be admitted that they have some cause. No profession in Ireland has suffered so much by the Union, as that of the liar. The clergy re main much the same. The physicians have lost their best patients in the encrease of ahsentees ; but the gentle men of the har have not only lost their best clients, from the tame cause, but the sphere for the exercise of their profession has been abridged. The appellant jurisdic tion being removed by that measure to the Imperial House of Lords, all legal practice connected with it bas of course been transferred to the English bar. We shall only observe, that if the English lawyers he justly charge able with drawing long pleadings, their brethren in Ire land are equally chargeable with making long speeches. There is,however, an essential difference bet% ern the two cases. The long pleadings exhaust the clients' pockets. The long speeches exhaust the lawyers' longs. Yesterday, his Majesty rye a grand entertahlinent a s his Palace, Pall-mall. At Ra minutes past six the Duches of Kent, accompanied by the Princess Victoria, attended by her Highness's Governess, arrived at the Palace, from Kensington. The Princess was introduced to the King by her Royal Moth t. The interview lasted upwards of half an hour. The King afterwards retired to dinner, given to a numerous and splendid party ; con eisting of several of the Royal Family, the For. ign Am. bassadors, the Cabinet Ministers, the Great Officers of State, the Foreign Primes in England, &c.; among them were the it Royal Ilighnessrs the Dukes of York and Cumberlabd, Prince Leopold, the Duchess of Kent, the Prince of Salms, Prince Remiss Ernsdorf, Mr. and Mrs. Canning, the Russian Ambassador, and the Countess Lieven, Marchioness of Cholmondeley, the Marquess and Marchioness Convngham, Prince Esterhagy, the Austrian Ambassador, the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Dorset, the Earl and Countess of Liverpool, the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, &c. The Royal Family were received by the band playing " God save the King," and the Duke of Wellington was received with " See ! the conquering Hero comes !" His Majesty had also a numerous evening party of dis tinguished personages, at half-past nine, who were gra tified with a performance of choice English music, under the direction of Mr. H. Hawes. The Duke of York arrived in town on Wednesday night, from Newmarket. On Wednesday her Royal If firlines, the Duchess of Kent, accmnpunied by Princess Peo.lor, Prince Leopold, and Sir Robert Gardiner, paid a visit to Admirer Lord liadstock, at his house in Portland place, in order to view his Lordship's gallery of paintings, which are al lowed to be, in point of number, one of the finest collec tions in London. His Lordship, being apprised of the honour intended him by the Royal visitants, pr epared for their reception an elegant defame a la fourchette, which they cheerfully partook of, and seemed highly delighted with their morning visit. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford hare not been in town this season, in consequence of the indisposition of his Grace, who, we are sorry to observe, continues in a lingering state, with little progress towards convales eerie.. The Noble Duchess constantly resides with his Grace at Woburn Abbey. The Marquess of Tayistock,by the advice of his physi cian!, has left town for Tunbridge Wells ; his Lordship, we are concerned to state, continues seriously indis posed. The Marchioness resides constantly with his Lordship. Yesterday the Lords of the Council assembled at the Council Office, Whitehall, to hear French Appeals. STAFFORD COUNTY ELRCTION.—Lord Francis Gower and Mr. Chetwynd, as we hear, have declined to offer themselves for the representation; and Sir John Wrottes ley, Bart., who continues the only candidate, is making an active canvass throughout the county.—(Wolverhamp ton Chron.) There was a meeting of the inhabitants of the Ward of Bishopsgate,Sir W. Rawlins in the chair, on Wednesday. at which several appropriate resolutions were passed, and a subscription commenced on behalf of the Spanish pa triots, whb are struggling tu,tbe last against foreign in vasion and domestic traitors. Thirty pounds were sub scribed before the meeting broke up. ENCOURAGRAIRNT TO EMIGRATION ! ! !—The Persian Minister to this Court having effected the objects of his Mission, leas issued, as his last public a, t, an official noti fication, that "as many families front European coun tries have lately resorted, some to Auierica and New Holland, and others to Georgia and Daghistan, as settlers, his Royal Highness Abbas Mirza, the Prince Royal of Persia, through the medium of his Minister at the Court of Great Britain, personally assures all those who may be inclined to take up theft residence in this• kingdom of Abzirbijan, of which the capital is Tabriz, that, on their arrival io the district of Sausidgeboalogh, he swill Immediately assign to them por tions of land, with residences attached, and every requisite for their comfort and subsistence." DUEL PREVENTED.—A meeting was to have taken place yesterday morning, in Battersea Fields, in consequence of • dispute at Vauxhall on the preceding night. The parties were e Mr. W—, and a Mr. both bolding situa tions of trust. Some Constables were in attendance, but they were batted by the parties not appearing ou the around, from some Information hating been given. An exchange of blows passed on the return of the parties on the night of dispute; but a Gentleman interfered and prevented the con tinuance of what he conceived to he an unequal combat, one of the Gentlemen being much larger and stronger than the other. _ _ _ _ Total qnantities of Leghorn straw hats or bonnet•, and of Leghorn straw plat, imported into Great Britain, in the years ending 3tb April, 1321,1622, and 1823 :-1321, No. 77.282 straw hats or bonnets, 21b. liot. straw plat ; 1322, No. 153;101 straw hats or bonnets, 21bs. straw platting; 1823, No. 136.043 straw bats or bonnets; 3,5121b5. 12vz. straw platting. ..-► • MS.

It was to go au foot twenty-two miles ln four hours, to trot a horse saddled fourteen miles within en hour, and to drive • horse in harness foarteen miles within en boor. The two horses to be the bona fide property of the rider, who rode under twelve stone. The first match was from Wren Common to the northward of Ingatestone, Es sex, over five miles of a circle.

There is at present residing in Brighton, a lady of great beauty and accomplishments, possessed of • quality which puts out of all distance the fame of the celebrated Mr„ Doublehangs. This extraordinary and singul,r ttco • ty arises from a peculiar formation of tls= tongue, whit!' is separated to the root. in a longitudinal direction, and ac tually forms a double longue. Not the slightest inconve nience is felt from this exuberant gift of nature. With this desirable and admirable addition to she organ of domestic comfort, this lady is enabled to afford entertainment to her friends beyond the power of any ventriloquist, or indeed of conception. From the personal charms else possesst s, as well as a highly endowed mind, she has had many suitors. none of whom have retired from paying homage, owing to 1 the effects of the extra clapper hung in this enchanti g belle. bbe possesses two vetoes: one exceedingly clear, sweet, and harmonious, allowing her to sing with great effect; the other so exquisitely thrilling, that it must have been bestowed on her for no other purpose than to lisp the still small voice of love. With this voice she imitates ex actly the notes of many birds, piping like a bullfinch, sing ing as a canary ; what is most remarkable, hi r mother was deaf and dumb.— (Brighton Gazelle.) FIRES nets 100*ns:ea.—About three o'clock this mori.ing an alarming fir." broke out at the house of Mr. Yeoman, eating-house-keeper, No. 28, East Smithfield, which threatened destruction to the surrounding neigh bourlicod ; but by the prompt aerial of the firemen with their engines, it was confined within the limits of the building in which it began, and which wrs entirely destroyed. A young woman in endeavouring to esi-ape from the house, through a skylight, lacerated her th,igh in a dreadful manner, The dimes were so fierce, that the front of the Leith and tilnegow wharf opposite was scorch ed, and much anxiety excited for the valuable property deposited in these pr. rif sirs. The unfortunate occupant of the house destroyed is not insured. This morning about one o'clock, the neighbourhood of Holborn, was again thrown into great consternation by the alarming cry of ' Fire.' A body of smoke was observed issuing from the first floor window of Mr. Van develde. a boot and sticemrlier, near Ureat Turnstile; but the occupants not !Irving retired to rest, by great ex ertion on their part, and by the assistance of the firemen, who were quickly oo the spot, the fire was subdued without extending beyond the room in which it broke oi.t. Mr. V. it appeared, had incautiously placed the candle near t he curtains 4)14 bed, which ranght lire, and speedily communicated to the surrounding articles.
