IP TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY It from the Morning Papers, June 5. [THE TIMES.] We find by the conversation of even ministe rial. people 44 out of doors," that Mr. Abercromby is allowed to have obtained a complete triumph, : and to have but too fully proved his case against the Lord Advocate of Scotland. A person in', almost the highest, and clearly in the most re sponsibte legal situation in Scotland, is charged, to his face in Parliament with " unjust and op pressive conduct 1" he replies to the charge, the , House divides, and he has only a majority of six in his favour. It is clear, we presume, that such a man must go out. Indeed, there is no account ing for a Scotchman's feelings, or else we should think that in,dignation at his desertion would prompt him to take that step of himself : or, should his magnanimity fail him, surely Mi nisters will not retain one whom they would . not defend. " The House impeach him, Coningsby harangues, " The court forsake him, and Sir Balaam hangs." it is superlluoui now to enter into the sufferings of Borthwick, their quantity, or duration. No human ingenuity could torture his return to his office, and taking possession of his bureau and its effects under the award of a court of justice, into any thing having even the remotest appear. tune to a robbery. The absurdity was hardly attempted to be established in the way of argue meat, though the assertion was made. And imo prisonment, therefore, had it been but for an hour (though it was for weeks and' months), would have been a violation of the law in those by whom more than all others it ought to be re• spected. Yet is this Lord Advocate a facetious fel low : for he maintains, that had not Borthwick been really thrown into prison, the dread of that evil would have made him fly to America ; and then he might have been an exile all his life ! "If " Borthwick had suffered more than he ought, in " all probability it was lees than he would have suffered had he been able to make his escape, " and bad he been living an outcast from his " country ever since !I! [NEW TIMES,3 In adverting to the details of the late events In Catalonia, we must begin by noticing 'a slight error of the press in our Paper of yesterday. The article' from Girona, dated May 27, should bave begun---" Yesterday, at four in the morn. , ing, Mimi having stolen a march ;" but the omis sion of the word MCNA rendered the narrative unintelligible. The fact appears to be, that Mina is unable to throw himself into Barcelona, and therefore wanders up and down the course of the Llobregat, avoiding as much as possible to meet thp enemy in force, and trying every means to effe4 those surprises and stratagems in, which the Guerilla warfare principally consists.— Hitherto, however, he has been frustrated lb all his projects, and worsted In all his rencontres, because he meets with his match for activity and enterprise in Generals Don. nadlea and D'Eroles. These two Generals having occupied Manresa, and thus intercept, ed Mina in that direction, the latter on the 3d ult. marched northwards by Cellent and Avinio to St. Felin de Sasserras ; whence he made the sudden movement above mentioned on Vich. The Times and Chronicle the other day assured us, that it was a great stroke of General ship in Mina to throw himself into l3arce.. lana. What will they now say ? They will now say. it was a great stroke of Generalship in him not 'to throw himself into Barcelona. They will prove that his being repulsed at Vich, and Milans and Llobera being repulsed at Matareiare both brilliant successes for the " great ttepse, of Liberty" in Spain. Moreover the garrison of Hostalrich, which made a sally, and was driven back, will by the same logic be proved to have beaten the besiegers : and Zayus with his 3500 fugitives from Madrid, who was pursued and beaten at Talavera, will be shewn to have been only acting on that profound military plan, by which the sages of the polies are draw ing on the French to their destruction! it really ; sickens one to hear such daily repetitions of non sense and contradiction. We repeat, that the mi litary part of the 'Drama in Spain is now nearly, over ; and it is to the political part that the most serious and earnest attention should now be given.' The Duke del haunted° is the only individual on whom depends the future well-being of his country. silo is at the present moment the effect tive head of the lawful Government; for the. King, in whose name he acts, and whose unli. inked confidence he has always possessed; is a captive ; and the Corte,: have de filch) lost the authority which they had only detail() possessed. , The Duke, on the contrary, holds his authority froth those Councils which are de jure the lawful Representatives of the Sovereign 'whilst he is under duress. The Duke is, or soon will be, formally recOgnized as President of the Regency by the Great Powers of the Continent. We will not anticipate circumstances which may raise a question whether Great Britain should adopt a• line of diplomacy different from that of the rest of Europe. Possibly those, circumstances may 'not arise. Possibly the moderate part of tots Cortes at Seville may overpower the 'fa. cabins, by whom they have been hitherto tyran. - lazed over. We rejoice to See that letters from Seville of the IGth of May, in the Journal des Inbats, coincide exactly with those advices from the Same city, which appeared in The Morning Chronicle of Friday last. Both the French Ministerial Paper and the English Opposition Falter agree in this, that the Jacobin party in the ortes has.been thrown into a minority, and that 1 ' the Moderuks, who have Oiled the ascendancy, are disposed to act on the suggestions thrown out by Abisbal. [MOßNlNG CURONICLE.) Tile public will rejoice to find, that in the New Marriage Act, the contract is not to be annulled, in consequence of 'ion-compliance with its requi sites,—but the offending parties are , to be made lislite to certain penalties. This principle of in dissolubility has been preserved, however, not without a severe struggle. ,That mere world lings,—men intent only upon hoarding riches, o r acquiring titular distinctions, shduld con sent to expose a great portitin of their fel low-creatures, and especially of the weaker sex, to evils of the most extensive and painful kind, rather than a remote chance should exist of the families of the higher orders being contami nated by Plebeian connections, can excite no astonishment; and it was expected, that certain veterans in the House of Lords, whose prover bial avarice is not the most mischievous of their qualities, would shew that they were under the influerice of such sentiments. But it has excited no less sorrow than surprise, that the opinions of these persons should have been sanctioned by the Archbishop of Canterbury' s and the Bishop of London. In the former, all the prejudices that belong to birth (to which alone he owed his elevation) might be supposed to have their full power, but the commendable cau tion he exercises on most occasions has hitherto prevented an offensive display of them ; un fortunately, in this instance, that caution seems to have forsaken him. It behoved the latter to have remembered the seriods injury he inflicted upon the episcopal character by the courtly opinions he expressed in the Queen's trial upon the moral impeccability of Kings ! Neither of these Prelates can be suspected of being secret enemies of the establishment by which they so greatly benefit. They can have acted only under an unaccountable, though not a very unusual ! infatuation. Perhaps, upon no sub ject 'fiat has ever been . discussed, except the Bourbon aggression in Spain, has there ever ap peared among sensible and good men, out of Par-, liament, so much unanimity as in condemning the doctrines which these individuals supported ; doctrines not less repugnant to the dictates of humanity than at variance with the declared word of God, and the genuine spirit of Christi- [BRITISH PRESS.] The gradual progress of knowledge through out the different states and kingdoms of Europe, as it gradually alters the character and changes the condition of the people, tends inevitably to make them , impatient of oppression, and deter. mines them to seek that reformation through their own strength which they cannot obtain through the justice of their rulers. Hence those , revolutions which are going 'forward in Spain and Portugal, and silently working their way in all the leading monarchies of Europe. The great error of the governments of the present day is this—that they make no allowance for the peogress'of information, and conceive themselves able to continue,,now that the public mind is everywhere enlightened, the same vicious system of abuse and misrule which they carried on in the days of passive and ignorant obedience. But every government must follow the progress of "weilth and civilization : the attempt to counter act this effect is the most dangerous of all errors,.and the most surelY fatal ; because, when the only effective polit'cal power, the power of the majority of a nation, is attached to the cause of political reform, no machinations of Mo. narchs orof Miniqers—noalliance,l•oly, or - unholy, can put it down. The mass of the population in England, in France, in Germany, in every king dom in Europe, side 'with the friends of rational liberty in Spain. Europe .forms in reality but one great commonwealth, and the Allied Powers must repress the love of right and justice, and destroy the common sympathies between man and man, before they can send forth their armies with any hope of success. Newspaper reports may vary, and the fortunes of Spain may flue tunic, but her cause is linked with the interests of the human race, and its final triumph is cer tain. CsionsitNo nett.tr..n.] ,The history of the two first months of the , campaign in Spain will not be over-crowded with. incidents. It is somewhat curious—indeed un exampled in military history, thati with so 'littte, fighting, the Duke of An.ouleme should demo fish and erect so many eovernments. It is in this way that his prowess has been chiefly exer cised. His first feat, upon taking the field, was to cashier the noted Regency of Urgel. He next set up the 66 Supreme Junta of Government," which lusted the whole length of the march from the frontier to Madrid. This machine of. Government, however, did not work satis factorily ; and no sooner had the Prince Paci ficator reached that capital, than he knocked it on the head, and called up the defunct and mouldered Councils of Castile and the In dies, from which, by a sudden transmutation, he has once more extracted a 44 Regency of Spain and the Indies." How lon Ws latter body politic will exist we shall not pretend to conjee ture. Though more titan three days old, when the last accounts came away, it had not yet done any thing in the way of trying its infant strength with the revolutionary serpent. The late letter of Abisbal produced a feeling of despondency among those who wished success to the Spaniards. There is, however, since, a re-action. The subse quent events, scanty and unimpottant as they are, and scantily and unfaithfully as they are narrated by the French, tell on the whole favourably for the Spanish Government. How often, and with what effrontery, have Paris Journals told us that no= thing but Abisbal's harshness, the controul of military power, the influence of the Cortes, and a tender regard for the tranquillity of Ferdinand, prevented the people of Madrid'from opening their gates to the bands of the Faith, and pro.. claiming 44 The absoulte Kin.!" How does the fact turn out on trial ? TO -Government, the Cortes, the great mass of the more respectable Constitutionalists, the militia and other troaps, with but a remnant behind, had left Madrid— the Duke of Angouleme is at the threshold—and yet whets the ve ry Bessieres who made that capittil tremble not long since, and was to supersede the French auxiliaries altogetlier----dernanda, and tries to force entrance, he is repulsed with great loss on his part, in slain and in prisoners. What has become of Abishal we are not yet'informed to a certainty. Letters from Paris, received yesterday, assert positively that he had quitted the army. It is difficult to doubt this. 'Madrid was entered on the 23d, and an affair took place on the 27th, between a part of the first corps of the French army, and a division of the troops which had been commanded by Abisbal. [MORNING POST. Our opinion of the English Whigs, taken as a body, is known not to be very favourable, whether we regard their political talents or their public virtue; Beyond their depth, however, there is still a lower deep, and the Whig's of ' Scotland have plunged with so vigorous an emulation as to leave their Southern- Brethren still in a sphere comparatively elevated and pure. Their achievements in this rivalry— this rivalry in the art of sinking, have been nu merous and wonderful. One of those achieve ments, however, we should have been content to bury in oblivion, on account of the melancholy consequences connected with it, but as it has been again by one of themselves forced upon public attention, we think it only right that it should be exhibited in its full glory.—lt will recollected, then, that some two years ago, or thereabouts, party feelings in Scotland, from va rious circumstances, had attained an unusual de gree of excitement. In the angry conflict of the passions, the Press, no longer restrained within its legitimate bounds, left the discussion of principles and measures for the more stimulating and pernicious occupation of scru tinizing individual character. A. pretty brisk fire 'of private libels was for some time kept up. Neither Whigs nor Tories are, we believe, entirely exempt from the disgrace of having engaged in this irregular species of war fare. The Tories were indeed satisfied to ward off or to cast back the poisoned arrows of which they received many au abundant shower, as they best might. Nth so the Whigs ; they, forsooth, must set up a clamorous outcry, as men accustomed to a monopoly usually will, simply because these very galling weapons appeared no longer to be exclusively their own. In this state of things it was that the case of Borthwick, of which so much has been said, arose. This individual had been part Proprietor of a Journal in which some clever squibs against certain conspicuous Whigs had been inserted. He was, however, no longer a partner. He had sold his share, quitted possesion,and was actually in litiga tion with his late partner. He was, moreover, at the time of which we are speaking, imprisoned for debt. A Whig, smarting under the lash of this Journal, (for Whigs are amazingly sensative to calumny, unless when it happens to assail a poli tical opponent), anxious to discover the author of certain lively bagatelles by which he had been annoyed, bethought himself that the poor mise rable and imprisoned Ex-proprietor might be tempted to act so like a scoundrel as to bet ra y the confidence of his contributors. Nor was he mis taken. To complete the desired treachery, it was however necessary that the manuscripts Should be produced ; accordingly we find that ou r Ex proprietor is quickly at large, ,and that the first use he makes of his freedom is to repair to the office of the journal, there by the application of false keys to the private desk of his successor, to possess himself of the required documents and lastly, to hand them over to the irritated and very high-minded Whig. For participating in this very honourable course, the Whig imme diately concerned received such general and un qualified applause from his whole party as fully warrants our treating the whole transaction as an exposition of party character. Of the lament able occurrence which followed the treachiry of Borthwick, it would be painful and is unnecessary to speak. By that occurrence the baseness which preceded , 'it is surely not enntbted. The transaction altogether is one which the Whigs, 'if they knew in what ' fair fame consists, would abOVe "all things wish the world to forget. But, no there were circumstances belonging to the case which af forded a hope of criminating a servant of the Crown, and this was more than sufficient to out weigh any consideration of tenderness for the character of their own party.—What, then, was the accusation against the Law Officers of the Crown ? It resolved itself into this, that Borthwick, whose conduct we have faithfully described, was detained some time in custody up on a c h a rge of theft, and was eventually set at large without trial. This is the whole.— Ingeilious as the Whigs may be in their ima ginings of corrupt or unworthy motives, what improper considerations, we would ask them, are -likely in this instance to have perverted the course of justice ? Was Borthwick entitled to greater indulgence, because the felony of which he was accused had been committed in order to the consummation of another crime ? Were his convenience and comfort to be the objects of pecu liar care, because the offence of invading one males property sprung out of the inducements which had tempted him to betray the confidence of other men ?—We do not hesitate to , declare that we should not have thought one jot the worse either of the' heart or understanding of the Law Officer of the Crown who committed Borthwick, even •if reasons bad appeared (which they have not), for supposing the), indignation against the base and fatal treachery of that person' had mixed itself up in some degree with the estimate of - his legal crime. EXTRAORDI N kitY 'MCC CI terday F MACKAItEL.--Yes morning (Monday, 2d instant), about seven o'clock, an I mmen s e quantity of mackarel were hauled on s h ore at Deal, having been caught in a seine net, to the number of about 7000—a circumstance unprecedented in the annals of fishery ; the whole of which were pur chased in the course of an hour after, to the great satisfaction of the fisherman, at the rate . of 17s. per MO. The net was the property of Messrs. Goymer and littynes, King's pilots, of that port. (Kentish Gazelle.)

The subscribers and friends to the Monument intended to be erected to the Memory of King GEORGE the THIRD, on Tuesday dined togetlier at the London Tavern. An apology was made for the absence of the Lord Mayor, who was to have taken the chair, but who was compelled to attend Parliament on business of much importance. By the unanimous desire of the company, Colonel GAITSKILL pre- sided over the festivities of the day. After the removal of the cloth, Sir JOHN E. DOLBEx, Bart., addressed the company on the virtues which distinguished our late revered Monarch. Mr. YATES, of Covent-Garden Theatre, contributed much to the intellectual pleasures of the company, by a spirited and pathetic recital of an appropriate address, which had been pre pared for the occasion. Mr. T. LOWNDES also introduced a poetic effusion compli mentary to the late Sovereign, and prefaced it by some obser vations on the illustrious events which occurred during the late reign. Mr. Eeatzs, an active Gentleman on the Committee for erecting a trophy, conciseley stated the progress the un dertaking was making. The design, he said, was originally conceived by Mr. M. NVyatt, and by him it was communicat ed to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, who instantly undertook to become its patron. The Gentleman also made the design known to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duchess of Kent, and several other Members of the Royal Family; and like wise to many of the principal Nobility, among whom were the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Marquis of Anglesea, Lord Londonderry, all of whom, with many others too numerous to be mentioned, had gi ven their fullest approbation to the erec tion of the proposed monument, and W.ti promised it their support. • Mr. Thontsow, the late Secretary to the Duke of Kent, in a pathetic and eloquent speech, spoke of the dignified and exalted virtues which distinguished his. late Majesty, and said the Meeting was a band of brothers who had rallied round their father's sepulchre, to prove that by the lapse of years he was not forgotten. In him, he said, the glories of vir tue, piety and benevolence, shone conspicuously, and it was he who spread religion throughout the world, and se-' vered the chains of African slavery never again to be united. His English heart was the watch tower of Eng lish glory, and made the distant lands crouch to the feet of the lion. To perpetuate his memory, we should gather round the sepulchre of his remains, and raise up a trophy which should endure when the Kingdom should be cram-, bled to dust.—[This Gentleman was interrupted several times by the involuntary bursts of applause of the Meet ing—so 'powerfully and feelingly did he touch upon some of the leading characteristics of our late gracious Mo.. narch.] In. the course of the evening many excellent' toasts were given, applicable to the subject of the Meeting, and the scene was greatly . enlivened by the sweet harmony: of Messrs. Broadhurst, Smith, Leet, Taylor, Master Smith,, and several other gentlemen of the greatest musical celebrity. There was also a most effective band of musicians in the gallery, who occasionally delighted the company with a choice diversity of martial and other airs. The festival, which most unexpectedly came under thepresidency of Col. Gaitskill, was conducted to its close, with the greatest order and hilarity. PITT CLUBS. CHELMSFORD, Juxt 2. The Pitt Club of this town held its Anniversary to cele. brate the birth of the immortal Statesman, whose memory they respect and whose loss they deplore, on Wednesday last, at the . Black Boy Inn. Wm. 31AYIIEW, Esq. in the chair. The meeting was most respectably attended; its numbers were increased, and demonstration given, that the great cause, to uphold which, Mr. Pitt's arduous services were devoted, ga ins additional votaries every year. IPSWICH, JUNE 2. The Annual Meeting of the Pitt Club, established in the year 1815, was holden at die King's Arms Inn, in this town, on Wednesday last. After " The King " " the Church being the strongest Pillar that supports the 'Throne," " the Duke of York, and the rest of the Royal Family," had been given, the Chairman obseried, that this being the return of the day that gave birth to that great Statesman and distinguished Pa triot, William Pitt, they were again met to honour his me mory, that the Members of this Club had also become Members of the Suffolk Pitt Club, established in the year 1821, to counteract the effect of an Annual Meeting which those who were friendly to Mr. Folt in the western part of this county had previously formed. He then repeated some lines which described the two past meetings of the Suffolk Pitt. Club to have been so numerously and respectably attended, as to have run to earth the Foxes, both from the east and from the west; but that the day was nigh at hand when all in the county would again be unkennelled and break cover, and that the Suff o lk Pittites would also soon have thei r day, and be attended by their county Member and President. The Chairman then said, that to pay a tribute ofrespect to th eat unary of Al r. P tt,whose giant powers and well laid lans have saved th is country, and who bad witkhis part ing breath prayed for her preservanon, being the . object of the present Meeting, he should propose, that the Memory of the itight-Han. William Pitt should be drank standing and in silence. Among other toasts from the chair were the following —" Perpetuity to- the Pitt Clubs throughout the kingdom,, and particularly to the Suffblk l'itt Club. " The British Con-: stitution.'? " The Protestant Ascendancy." " Lord Liver. pool, and his Majesty's Ministers," &c. &c.

The magazines, &c. which now appear, are greatly distinguished by their various and interesting contents, as com pared with similar works a few years back. Th e contributions in the department of Natural His tory, prove a rich and valuable treat. Sources hitherto unknown are laid open, and investigated with a spirit of philosophy and acumen, that do honour to the age. Ethics, practical and theore= tical, are discussed with great talent.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 4. THE XING DOLB This case was called on at th e sitting of the full Court as first in the paper of the London and Middlesex new trials. It will be remembered that the defendant was prosecuted by the " Constitutional Association" for the blication of a libel called ".The Politi ca l Dictionary." When the cause came on for trial, two special jurors only appeared, and on the prayer of a tales for the Crown, a challenge was made to the - array, on the ground that one of the Sheriffs, Mr. Garrett, was interested as a member of the prosecuting club, and this challenge was found for the defendant. A suggestion was then entered on the reco r d, an d process was awarded to the coro- ners, but only one of them was in Court to return the panel of tales de eircanzstantibus and the case again went of f or default of jurors. At length the panel of tales was returned by the coroners ; but it was now obje cted that instead of the whole pr ocess b e i ng di rected to t hem, the two special jurors who originally appeared ought to have continued on the jury who were to try the cause; and the coroners ought only to have issued process to supply the remaining jurors —on the ground th a t t h e spec i al j ury could not be, and were not challenged at the first, according to the decision 9f the Court in the case of the King v. Edmonds." The objection, however, was overruled, the trial proceeded, and th e defendant was found guilty. The Court afterwards granted a rule to spew cause why the judgment should not be arrested, on the ground of the objection so taken, and also on the ground that two venires appeared on the record. The Lord CHIEF-JUSTICE shortly stated the condition in which the cause stood, and inquired for therecord, and whether 1 the defendant was present in Court ? It appeared that the record was not in Court, whereupon The Loan Cum' , JUSTICE said it would be impossible to . 1 proceed without the record, and that the defendant ought to be Court in ready to receiv e i ts judgment, in case the rule should be discharged. -,s Mr. EVANS, who appeared for the defendant, requested the Court to to fix a day when the argument might be heard. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, they might probably hear it tomorrow , if the defenda n t were p resent , but they could not absolutely fix it. THE RING V. ALDRIDGE AND ANOTHER. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL moved to make the rule which he had obtained on a former day absolute for restoring the nisi pries record and the postea, which the defendants, having been convicted of keeping a common gaining-house, colluded with the prosecutor to withdraw. The Crown now wished to perfect .! the record, and call up the defendants for judgment. No cause was shewn against the rule, which was accordingly made absolute. FROM TUESDAY'S GAZETTi; DIVIDENDS.

Our title of General was once very strangely mistaken, and by .no less a personage than the King of Prussia, Frederic 11. It happened thus A great intimacy and friendship, pri vate as well as political, subsisted between the 4ate Lord Ashburton (Mr. Dunning) and Colonel Barre. They travelled to the , contineni toge ther, and chanced to arrive at Berlin or Potsdam , (I forget which,) exactly at the time of a grand review. Being particularly desirous of seeing it, they found means to be presented to the King on the very ground, as two Englishmen of die.. tinction, and Members of the British Parliament. Colonel Barre as Colonel Barre, and Dunning as the King's Solicitor General. Frederic knew enough of Colonels and Generals to be caught by the sound of suck titles, never dreaming that in . this particular instance they were not equally military. War-hohes, richly caparisoned, were immediately offered to the English Colonel and General, and of necessity accepted. The Colonel rode like a Colonel, but the General no better than any other Solicitor-General, and very un-. like what the Prussian troops and Frederic him self had been accustomed to see in the field. The horse besides on which he rode, being under the same mistake as his royal master, was not sparing of his military movements, to the no small em barrassment of his laze full rider, who being quite unused to such action, had much difficulty to keep his seat ; and in going • through the various ma meuvres, which he had no means of controlling, affprded considerable amusement to the company at large,"—(Heraldic Anomalies.)
