144 tid Jury, ta Ito proved that the bill was presented by Hp def. ;Want. and ignored by Mots, If and his fellows. Ur. Jr!.'ice PARK said the creation of probable cause was eNt:nsrely fur himself; and he would never hold that the mere tact of a Grand Jury throwing out a bill, which they o.ic la Jo from reprice, was evidence that it was preferred wit bout probable cause. Mc.aemuson replietlAkej„ lie never contended for sago, nter:ithat the mere rejection of the bill was sufficient. But I.e ;;fetr.g4ll himself to prove that, at the time of the pre terittd-mesult, no blow was given—no threatening gesture user4that no worrl,eveo of reproach, escaped his client ; hut that the defendant, irritated by the plaintiff's insisting on • copy of the precept, went away, .saying " he would see what be could do for him." When, atter this, a charge warlaid-•—the defendant only being present; and when af terwards a bill was presented by the defendant, surely there was evidence on which the Jury might say whether the Proc - eedings issued from the same source, and on which the Jorfre* might decide the question of probable cause. Yr ',gin, PARK teCliffed to the want of proof of O. inform tion, which he still thought fatal, though he she, Id reg et extremely if it pion ented any one from obtain ing name. Mr. rasasow urged that this observation was entirely rnabplicable to the fourth count, which was merely for pre ferring a bill. The learned Judge,however, declared he was quite satis fied that the plaintiff must be called, nod accordingly the plaintiff was nonsuited. Mr.. PeaßsoN intimated that he should move to set the sensuit aside. , Mr. Justice r ARK replied, that the learned Counsel had an undoubted llght to move, but Mat he could not give him leave to do soon by so doing he should imply doubts which be did not entertain. DOWN V. KEEN AND WATTS. This was an action by a clothier of Suomi against too 'constables of that place, for imprisoning hint without cause. It appeared on the oildence for the plaintiff, that on the 1.1 of December last, he went into a public house at Stroud, called the Crown and Anchor, to inquire after his father, 1 his mother being ill. He was going away, finding that his father was not there, when a man named Nicholls called to him, and told him that be owed him a shilling. The plaintiff took out a shilling, and offered to pay. Nicholls proposed to spend it in liquor and Down accordingly. after adding sixpence to the sum, sate down to erlak. Nicholls then began to banter him by asking, " if he had not range and Laze! at home, „ which are slang expressions , mean embezzled cloth. D own took the question in jest, replying, " he did not know, but they were welcome to search his house, and he would wait while they did so ;" but on the question being several times re feaied, he grew angry and said, though not in a viole n t s • inter, "If you bother me I'll knock our head off." 'it-bolls, however, insisted; words ensued'; when Keen, . being a constable, interfered. and ordered Watts, also a corstable, to take Down into custody, and carry him to the blindhouee. The landlord; surprised at this, said to Watts, " Surely you must be jesting, you cannot mean to take this man to the blindhouse ;" on which Watts consulted Keen, tint Keen told him to do his duty, or he would fine hint :ff. Thus directed, Watts took Bown to the blindhonse, a dark dungeon with a stone floor and dirty straw, and there lie bras locked up till eleven the next day, when he was released On hail to appear at the Sessions. At the Sessions he at :tended with his witnesses, bet no charge was preferred against him. ' The defence set pp was, that the plaintiff wag quite in boxiiatfd, and committed a breach of the peace viit bin view of the constable, who was therefore justified in tak'ng him itto, custody. No breach of the peace was proved, but witnest:s spoke M the state and demeanour of flown in di. rice ooposition to the landlord and other witnesses for the plati ff. Mi. Justice Nam Rammed up the evidence, observing, that' Ilse injury was not a Might one; and 'the ion found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 20/. SCOTLAND. POPULATION.—By the last Census taken in 1921, it ap pears that the mnst populous county in Scotland is Lanark, there being in it 244,31;7 persons ' and 14,617 *males more than males. In the county of Edinhnegh , including the city, there are 10 1 , 511 persons , and noir', tbbs 154196 fe males mcra than males. The greatest inereiteof papule. tion for the last ten yeate appears in the ronnttee of Aber deen and Ayr, judging from their population, 'Aberdeen bawl% increased '0,312, and Ayr, 23,345. The stationary coo ne.des appear to be Peebles and Sntherlandl. The first of arse, with a population of 10,046, has only increased 111 in the last ten years ; and the last, with a population of 23,840, has only increased 211. The lease populous county in Scotland is Selkirk, which contains 6647 pet sons, and only about !.:00 females more than males ;its increase for the last 10 years, however, has been 740. linasnow, Aug. 7.—Some hopes were entertalnd don llordav and Wednesday that the weather was about to mend ; . but this forenoon it rains as heavily as ever. Tu be sure, it almost always rains abont Lammas ; but another ten days of ungenial weather woult in alt likelihood make the oat crop later than it Was ever witnessed by the present generation. The potatoes in must situations promise to be abundant. Our accounts of the crops at present are highly favour able, if we could now have fair weather.—(Edinburgh UL server.) A curious mistake occurred on Sunday, relative to a prod clamation of marriage bans. The Elder, who is a married man, bad by mistake written down his own name, instead of the bridegroom's, along with that of the bride, and the proclamation was made in church accordingly. The asto nishment of the young couple may be easily conceived. The mistake will, however, be productive of no other evil t h an-a week's delay.—(Dundee Advertiser.) On Monday week the Strathmore Telegraph coach took fire twice on the road between Forfar and lirechin, owing to the friction of the wheels on the axle-tree. In both in stances the fire ass discovered in sufficient time to prevent any serious cansequences. The coach was heavily laden with luggage and passengers. From the attention of the guard and driver, a little delay in their journey was the only inconvenience felt by the passengers.—(Edinbur,o Courant.) On Monday acme labourers began to be emplord in opening a drain sufficiently wide to carry off the eater in a short time from the canal, in St. James's Park. It is in tended to cleanse the bottom of the canal from the mnd and ether putrid depositions, which hare so long been accumu lating in it. Afterwards, the tide will be admitted into it by the communication which now exists with the Thames; and as an inch or two of water can thus be withdrawn daily, and its place supplied, by fresh water from the riser, the contents of the canal may be preserved sweet for a long series of years. A few days since, a penny of Win. the Conqueror was deg ep in the Friars in this city. On the obverse is a full-. faced bust extending to the edge of the coin, and crowned with an arched crown; the right hand holding a sceptre, is placed upon the left breast. Round the head is the geed PILLILM lux (r was the Saxon w.) The reverse has a smile cross extending nearly to the inner circle, with an annolet ht every quarter, each innate% containing one of these letters, P. A Y. e. The whole is surrounded with the laseription IRWIN* ON PINT. Near the same spot wse found a London peony of Edward I. On the obverse tie bead extends only to the inner circle—is full faced, and crowned with an open crown of three fleur-deat. The epigraph is BOW. a. ANOL. DNS. DTI.

It was thus that Morillo, in the first instance, made inadmissible propositions, which be soon aftertvards reduceed to more reasonable terms." (room Tim Quotidietme.) We are informed that the English Cabinet has transmit ted to Sir Wm. A'Court a note thus conceived : " The English Ambassador will repair immediately to Cadiz, .whither the British Government nispatch two fri gates. Sir Wm. A'Conrt will make known to the Cortes, that England dues not interfere, and never will interfere, with the form of flovernment of any country, observing it strict neutrality; but that, after all that lias passed at Se ville, she is under the necessity of making common cause with all the Sovereigns of Europe, with respect to the li berty of the King of Spain. "Consequently England offers her mediation for an am nesty; and all those who are considered the most compro mised, and who wish to come to England, may avail them selves of the two frigates., they may believe that the means of existence will he afforded them until Ferdinand pro nonnce on their future fate. But in case the Constitution alists of Cadiz should refuse, the British Cabinet charges its Minister to notify the same to his Government; heiause the British squadron, which is ready for sea. will then sail to join the French svadron before Cadiz. Moreover Eng land decbres that the Constitutionalists will have nothing more to hope for, if they refuse this last resource, and yet recto, oa the hospitality of the English Cabinet." . .• SPAIN. • MALAGA, JULY 12.-1 hoped erethis to have been enabled to send you good news, but am miserably disappointed.— That line army, which was raised at so much cost and with so much care, tailed the Army of Reserve of Andalusia, has been allowed by fleneral Villaeampa, to fritter away and disperse amongst the various towns; so that of the 30,000, not 1,500 are this day in a body, and himself retired to en joy the h.iths of Alhaina! Upon theapproach of the French is Valencia, Ballasteros retired into Murcia, and it no* arrived at Baia and Granada; and people remark, that the same policy prevails with him also, in dividing into small ,tliviaions his army, ought to consist of 25,000 wee. The French invest .Cadiz closely, by sea and land. It appears the Cortes propose to snake a stout resistance, and as yet are well supplied with provisions of every kind, by means of their little armed provision boats. In this quar ter we are truly in the absence of all information of w h a t rs toitig on in other parts of the Peninsula, the French hay : big' pasarssion of the principal post roads from Bayonne to Madrid and Cadiz. 1 know that the greater part of the kinorslorWof : Cordova, Jaen, and Seville, have taken flown ihel.:Onstitution stones in their squares, an that a strange *theta is seen in this country, and 1 believe has no pre redert in Aber anetent or modern history, the military andeltvoniing to give and preserve liberty to a people, and the people refusing it ; hot with all the knowledge 'tithes.. facts, I say that'yet tie French may soon find themselves in a scrape ; these leg:mint people take down the emblems of the Uonshitntiocal Neste's], not from any real dislike to it, bur from the hopes float they will not be called upon for con- ,1 trihnlions, • which the French make them believe they' will be exempted from by declaring in their favour. It requires not the gift of a prophet to foresee that the French must live upon the country they consider as eon queied by them—they must lay on contributions--the peo ple will soon be itmleceive4l. They are a vindictive race, and if once roused, the Lord have mercy on the souls of their invaders. Yet the people of this country are easily governed : at present, although it may he said that we have no liovernment at all, neither military nor ivil—and, although morality is hardly known or pi - actised, yet by the ffirce of the social virtues, which p-evnil amongst this pew. pie in a singular degree, we are governed , and tran q uillit y prevails. PERPIGNAN, JULY 31.-1 hasten to inform you that we have received the news of an engagement, somewhat serious, which t. ok place on the 25th of this month near Manresa. The official details of this affair not having been yet pub lished, I have only the honour of coo leading . to yon the most accredited version of it. It appears that the advanced guard of the Lumps who pursued the Spa dards, heving found them in position on tbat day, did not hesitate to attack then oith the intrepidity which characterizes the French soldiers. The 12th Light, which executed this attack, being borne down by numbers, the 60th were detached to their support. The e ff orts of the Spanish divisions were immediately concentrated against these two regiments; but on the arrival of the rest of the troops,commandeil. 1 ant assured, by the Marshal in person, they were repnlaeil on all sides. The loss on both ! aides appears to have been very considerable, since a great' number of dead and wountlett are announced, among whom are some officers. It is generally believed that there has been a second affair, but it is spoken of very vaguely. Tie blockade of the strong places cannot be maintai null strictly, and cunimunications err thus kept np, which are not with out inconvenience. The desertions from the fort of Figueroa. of which mention was made. has entirely ceased. and 1 leant positively, besides, and not without surprise, that some moo of the blockading forces, and even Sub-officers, have julo ell the besieged. " There arrived yesterday from the interior a detach ment of 100 men, and a convoy of the like manner of sick, among whom are many wounded. It appears that the hos pitals of the army are crowded, and that the dysentery, the ravages of which ate so dangerous in Spain, is the prevail ing malady." Pants, Aug. 10.—The Memorial Bordelais gives the following account of the death of aluatilla :—" Montilla was killed, but not until after the action. These are the official particulars of his death. This Chief, on his retreat. perceiving tine of the former companions of his infancy , requested him to keep guard a s hort time near him (wh he wrote a letter to the Captain (leneral of La Providence) and to inform him if the Royalists made the least "note ment. Montilla having begun to write, fatigued without doubt, with the toils of the preceding eight days, during Which he had been in unceasing action, fell asleep, which his friend observing, shot him through the head with his :musket, and instantly fled upon the horse of Montilla.—At .the report of the muskets, the Officer of the French party hastened to the spot; collected all the papers of Montilla, and bore his corpse to the village of Valtierra, where was Col. La Barthe, who, after having identified the body, by the assistance of the prisoners, had a statement of the facts drawn up b y the Alrade of the pia' e. Montilla has been in . terred wit h all the ceremonies of the Church." , On Sunday afternoon, about four o'clock, the congrega tion assembled in Newington Church, were interrupted in their devotional pursuits, by the intrusion of a maniac, a man of very gentlemanly appearance. At the moment the Rev. M r lilankard entered the pulpit to read the prayers, he presented himself in the aisle, with his hat on. Mrs Mason, the pew opener, assisted him to a pew, and in the middle of the prayers lie jumped up, saying, " Which mad are we going." All was consternation, and the clergyman suspended his dories for some time. Many personarntreat ed the unfortunate man to leave the church, but he into herently protested he would not ; at length Snow,the beadle, ejected him by force, and he was carried home in a coach to his friends in' threat Suffolk-street, Borough.

We have this morning received Bayonne papers of the sth instant. By these it will appear that a report bad then reached Bayonne of some negocistion carrying on by Lai. lasteros ; but it was supposed he was acting for a general 'porposehantl under the orders of the Constitutional Minis. tees. The news of his defeat at Redondela, was not known, The following are extracts from these papers : BATONsrlt. Auccer s.—The mail from Madrid has not arrived to-day, but we may expect it, as it was overtaken on the road by an Express which arrived yesterday, and who brought us an account of an alarm at Madrid on the 31st. in conseqnence of the appearance of a troop of 3 or 400 Constitution! Cavalry at the Toledo and Alcala gates. It was said to he commanded by the Etnpeci nado in parson. hold atteuipt mighthave had a different result if the Constitutionalists of Madrid had had previous notice of it. The weak French garrison could hardly have resisted an insufrection if it had taken place. It, however, took the Most prompt measures and put an end to the morn• ntary confusion'which Rib; sudden attack had occasioned. About ao Spanish Prisoners, chiefly officers, have arrived here from Madrid. The preparations fur the siege of Panipelu na are proceeding with all possible diligeuce. Three gear. tern of the battering train, &c . aro already gone : it is not likely, however, that it will commence before the end of next month, if we have troops sufficient to invest it closely. Last Thurstlay• the garrison made another sally, which led to an engagement of considerable duration. We hail several killed and eighty wounded, who were tik in to the nearest lio-pitals. --It is re ported that news has been received by an ex!raortli nary Courier, that three English vessels couvoyed by a frigate. have entered Cadiz, notwithstanding the French squadron, which desired to hinder them. The letters from Madrid, which we have just received, contain no inure then we already know. oitie persons at Madrid thought the Duke had left the Capital, chiefly, because lee disapproved of several of the measures of the Regency, and would not appear to sanction them by his presence The Constitu tionalists are at Sevaillo, in tire province of Toledo. It is said to be a part of the Corps , of Lopez Ratios which has conic from talleyra. Zayas has joined liallasteros, which increases the forces of the latter to 25,000 men ; t he prin cipal part of his many is at Lucena anil Alcala Real. Sonia persons affirm that neguciations are carrying on for on amicable arrangement, and that Ballasteros has received orders for that purpose from tbet:onstitational Ministers. We learn from Logrlno that the ransom partisan Chapalingua has appeared at Catalonia, with one thou-. sand and six hundred cavalry. The Gazette of Madrid of the 3d, says nothing of die armies, nor of the Duke d'Angouleme. The belief that negotiations are carrying on is general, but it is not said on what footing. Marshal lavirision has moved his head quarters from Er naui to Ttilosa, and it is said he will go further, and thst a 6th corps will be formed in our city. The Spanish prisoners are sent to the interior. A Leeward Island mail has arrived, but we do not brar it brings any news of importance. Neither the Paris nor the Bayonne Papers afford las any fresh accounts of Curunna. They both, however, keep up , the idea of a negociation for peace, and the Qaotidieane, with its usual felicity of invention, has published a note which we have copied into another column, pretended to have been sent with, that view by the British Uovernwent to our Minister iu Spain. We have extracted to-Jay from a Paris journal, an ac count we copied yesterday from a note issued bout the office of a London newspaper, of a Telegraphic despatch, dated from the head-quarters at Carolina, the 6th of August, announcing that Ballaeteros had given in his submission, and acknowledged the Regency. According to a supple ment annexed to this despatch, Ballasterus. after his defeat on the 2btli of July, fled fo the mountains, and 'proposed to treat for his surrender. The conditions he at first proposed. it is said, were not thought fit to be accepted, but they were afterwards reduced, and admitted. All this may ' be true; as we have seen in other instances the influence of French intrigue and French gold upon the minds of Spa niel' officers brought up in the school of " the Absolute King ;" hut if the circumstances have actually occurred, there must he some error in the dates. It is not likelr.hat news of the 6th of Angus., relative to events in Grenada, could have been received at Paris on the 9th ; for from Grenada to Madrid the course of post is known to be at least three days, and two days tnere are re quisite to reach Bayonne, where the line of tele graphs commences. A private letter dated from Paris, August 10th, states that General Banister's!' had resigned the command of the second army of the Constitutionalists; and we learn that it was known in London; last week, that General Quiroga had been appointed to succeed him. But it is not unlikely that he had been infected. either with the earn° aristocratic notions, orwith the same corruptions that prevail among the higher ranks in Spain. It appears by the Bayonne papers received to-day, that, even before his shameful defeat, it was reported at Bayonne he was en gaged in some negociation with the French. Persons not in jej , . 1 ! the secret, took it for granted that be was negociating in the name of the Constitutional Ministersand for Constitutional objects, with a view to a general amicable arrangement. The Constitutional Ministers may have suspected his aims, before they announced their design to sup-rsetle him; and JO submission to the Regency may have been as much the effect of resentment as of treachery. As "in making his !Nmalmslasion" he proposed conditions which "it was rot " thought proper to accept," he may have conceited the notion of suggesting some modification of the Constitu tion, with a view to preserve the appearance of consistency. Be the cause, however, or the extent of his defection what it may, its consequences are not more dreadful than that of a Itessieres or of a Morillo. The desertion of a General Officer, in the midst of the divisions and struggles of a nation, carries with it very little of the strength of the ar my. 'The abairdorred line which some of the Spanish leaders have thought proper to pursue, have had as little influence on their troops as the desertion of a Demourier on the Re publican army of France, or of an Arnold on that of Ame rica. The desertion of a bad officer gives room for the promotion of a good one; and in the defection of Dallas taros we perceive no occasion for regret. Before his la'e engagement, in which he lost his military honour, he Lad done nothing worthy of the force that was entrusted to his command ; and his previoits conduct furnished sufficient occasion to suspect his ability or Welty. Instead of collecting and strengthening his army, it ap• pears from a private letter which will. be found in one of our preceding columns, he parcelled it out into sm4ll detachments which, united, m'ght have been equal in numbers to the French, but when divided, were notable to resist theta in detail. A Turkish Mail arrived yesterday, and brought letters from Constantinople of the 10th, and from Smyrna of the 211 ult. At the capital•nstbing important hid occurred, but the accounts from Smyrna evince that the Turks per sist in their determination to make the present °buten a war of extermination. An inroad had hen made by the Turkish troops from Smyrna on the iiihattluttil* of the SW. rounding district, and wore than 000 individuals had been put to the sword. The slanghter might, perhaps, if lance had been made, admit justification from the usages of " civilized" warfare, but a liossile movement by the Yacht' of Bosnia into the vicinity et Vollo wastntrked by all the atrocities which tbnally distinguish the ,incursious of barbarians. Twenty-fore villages have been laid in ashes by the fury of his $ ildiers.

POUTSISOUTH, Aeouer 1 I.—This morning the Revenge, 74, Captain Sir Charles Bnrrard, Bart., arrived here lola the River. to take in stores, Ste., and thee proceed to the Mediterranean, to relieve the Roehfurt, which ship is coup ing home. The arrival of the Revenge, of cone se does away with the reiterated essertion of a Mot riing Paper, that this ship, pith the Spartiate and others, eve equipped for an other des.ination.

The office of John Sinde gren, Eeq. will be made the depository of all vormunnica lion, and from whence the packets will start. The local situatiou of ;iris port (its dktasice from London bring post ed in seven hours), is the paramount reason fur its selection by the spirited proprietors of the strain packets. The Oruro the Fourth is malting every preparation to proceet immediately to Carlia : a number of passengers are already eelleetine, among whom we notice some French military charact• rs. Letters from Constantinople, dated !WI July, have been received this writing ; they . state that a cutisidereole out: her of pirates were cruising tie the Ars hes, and had yap tuned several vessels. Out of the pirates had been tali. it by his Majesty's ship Cambrian, and omitted by her to cruise in the blerea.—By accounts from .Smyrna of the Ath Jul', we learn that his Majesty's ships Cambrian, Hind, and Medina, hail sailed on a cruise. Mr. Hylres, the King's Messenger, arrived in town on Sunday morning, ;Omni" two o'clock, with despatches item Sir Willidlti A'Cour, to which very little importance was attached: as they cart e four days later than t hose b roug ht by Mr. Ward, on Thursday, Mr. Dykes having been deem ed at sea by contrary winds.
