'THE LONDON. JOURNALS. DAILY .Extracts from the Morning Papers, July 18. [MORNING POST.] Srma.—Those who have experience in Spa nish affairs, join with us in declaring the ball to be still rising in the Peninsula. No man with a a geographical, statistical, or military acquaint ance with Spain, ever expected the Cortes to re main at Seville ;—they selected Seville from its position on the high road to Cadiz—the citadel of Spanish principle—the keep of her ho nour. Nothing would be more natural than the progress of the French Army ; the simple matter of surprize is, that the enemy have proceeded so tamely in their way.. It was the business of the Spanish Chiefs to let them pass, and of all evils to avoid the issue of a battle. Tako.Southey's accurate statements of the dis persion of the Spanish armies in 1808, and see *how :experience has taught them to avoid such visitations. If the Spaniards are really divided, why has no single fortress been given up, or car ried by the sword ? Frederick the Great said, no place was so strong but that a beast laden with, gold could get into it. Have not the French tried corruption ? But the Spaniards, if they do net chew the front of organized, equip ped,, and well•ofliicered troops, manifest en duran►ce: and incorruptible integrity. The interest is increased and daily increases : Palifox is at Cadiz-,-," War to the knife" will be again the cry; and we shall now see what the French array, with 700 miles of country, and garrisons it their rear, and Guerillas acting on their flanks, and 'cutting off their supplies, and the hero An gouleme at their tail, will do against Cadiz. But come what may, the Genius of Liberty, with the monarchical principle in her heart, would rise out of her ashes, should tyranny or treason turn or betray the fortress of the Sunny Land. TIMES.) 5 The Spanish Lail, through France, arrived yesterday in regular order, and brought letters from Madrid of the 3d instant., from Seville of the 28th, and from Cadiz and St. Mary's OT the '27th ult, General Bordesoult, who occupied St. Mary's with his division of the French army, ,at that time permitted occasional communication with Cadi2, to individuals having business to transact there, but meditated in the course of a few days, the restriction of all intercourse—a statement agreeinE(*th "hat has appeared in the French Papers, respictiiig. the actual commetice. ment of a blockade, both by sea t and land on the Ist or' of the preseilt month. The accounts derived tOtouth this mediimi of the state of Cadiz are notSiilisfactory, The command of the troops• was intrusted to. Genetat !ayes. Thks.6fficet., VII his first arrival L Cadiz,. bait had a quarrel with one of the mennbecs of the Regency; sup. posed to have uriginateol the peculiar mews4res under which the King wits removed froinSeville i _ in which he' assumed so high a tone as to .tbretitini . to 'leave the city and join Ballasteros ; the guar- Ter was however, adjusted, and Znyas remained at his post. This want of cordiality between so distioguished an officer and the Government had produced much despondency respecting the result of the struggle. Even Members of the Cortes, 90ine of whom have written by this. Mail to their friends in England, appear to partake strongly of this feeling. They do not scruple to express an anxiety to make terms with the French, the most favourable that may yet be possible for the con stitutional cause, and are even prepared, should their propositions for a negotiation not to be lis toned to, to surrender at discretion. We are persuaded, however, that this is not the senti ment of a majority in the Cortes, and that there may sluff be hopes of an effectual resistance to the French-before Cadiz. The Spanish letters, probably through fear of the agents of the post office in,France, are ivritten with much reserve, and are extretnely,detic,ient in information. We think we can collect fiom them, that even shoulrf the Cortes and alivernmott at Cadiz be Over. thrown, there will VPMEI tit me country the ele ments, of a sue cesgul resistance to the French founde4;in the natural antipathy of the Spaniards and IThiinclination to receive any go irernment,,of their dictation. Most of the Gene rals, being withheld .hy the state of the country from communication with the Government, are preparing for the partisan warfare, so congenial to the Spanisli.character, and for the defence of those provinces .in which they chance to be placed. One incautious or unpoptilar act on the part of the,French, or their mock Regency at Madrid, play still unite the Peninsula in arms against them, aud.ruin their whole enterprise. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Letters have been received in town from Oporto, dated the 3d instant, which mention that considerable confusion and 'discontent pre. Veiled in the ; place, inconsequence of the licen tious and, alarming conduct of the soldiery. A serious commotion was, hi fact, apprehended, for all , the middle classes in society felt indignant at the vtirricidal and traitorous act the troops had cOtnmitted, i,a heingAnitrurriental in the destruc tion of that code of laws vvhich was the only hut wark they had against despotism. The persons .id authority felt equally alarmed, seeing the loldiet's With the constiptional. cockade hi their', 'hands, paradiag% at ? .streets, uttering axecrations -at • the manner In which they bait been deceived, and asserting, that they svotrfdceee long overturn the disgraceful strc. tare they had just raised, The Governor of time Oporto.

The entry of the French into Spain—the great alterations whichlhe new insti tutions had produced in the situation, and even the incomes of the Nobles, higher Clergy, as well as in the King's Court, and in the several branches of the public Adminis tion the indifference and apathy observable in the mass of the people accustomed to act and judge more from habit, or the instigation of their superiors, than principle or conviction— French gold, distributed with a profuse hand, and more particularly the demoralization, incon stancy and rebellious spirit of the soldiery, added to the perfidy and ambition of their Commander, himself one of the active regenerators in Oporto on the 24th of August, 1820---the intrigues of the, Queen—and, finally, the manoeuvre of a party who had flattered and gained .over the Prince to their interests, were the combined causes which led to the overthrow of the Consti tution of Portugal. These causes, however, operated only on the lower orders, the Nobles, higher Clergy, and the soldiery, without in the least affecting the middle classes, those who know how to read and write, and are in all countries the most to be counted , on. [NEw TIMES.I The latestaccounts from Madrid concur with all that we had previously heard of the disposi tion of the People of Spain to adhere to the Re gency ; but they at the same time confirm what we have all along stated of the exhaustion of the national resources. The Rebels do not hesitate to supply their necessities by downright robbery and sacrilege ; but a legitimate Government cannot resort to these odious means of support. It will be long before any party can establish an efficient system of finance in Spain ; and the desire of conciliating all parties, however amiable or prudent in itself, must prevent the 4/04ency from throwing the burthen where it ought in justice to fall—on the leaders and prin. ciplti adherents of the Rebellion of 18‘20.—It is inti l Matea that the Regency or their friends wish to adopt sanguinary or vindictive measures; and that they are opposed in this by the Duke of Angouleme. We doubt the fact. Possibly they may see more clearly than his Royal Highness the necessity of certain measures of security. They may even feel that the great interests of. justice and humanity demand some mark of espe cial reprobation 'on wretches who have dis. graced humanity like the cold-blooded but cher Mina. 'Let it never be forgotten that this monster has disgraced his age and country, by the wanton and savage murder of hundreds of his defenceless cduntry‘ men. To him are most distinctly applicable the worth of the great ,Burke--." The very first foundation of settlement. must be to call to a strict account those bloody and' inercilesi °Menders.

Some persons fear that the traitors in Cadiz will murder their So,vgreign.. Desperate and fanatical as some of them are, we believe that the great mass will not tolerate such a crime. A short period will probably produce the surrender of the town : and it would he madness in the rebels not to preserve the Royal person, in order to obtain the more favourable terms on their, surrender. rBRITISIT PRESS.] By private letters, upon the information of which we can depend as authentic, we learn that divisions of a very serious nature have taken place among the Portuguese military, which have created a great sensation in ,Lisbon, and strong apprehension's are entertained of a counter.revo. lution. indeed, no rational man could expect that any such rapid and violent change in Go. ,vernment as the last could be permanent. The resources of intrigue and treachery last !pit for a.season. There are many enlightened patriots in. Portugal; and in the present state of public opinion in Europe, freedom is daily gaining st l reugth by reinforcements: the leading men in the kingdoms, both of Portugal and Spain, revolt in in:art and mind from the oppressions with which their country is overwhelmed. It was the mass of.the people in almost every part of continental Europe, that, by their own efforts, extricated their respective Sovereigns from the bondage to which they were reduced by the gigantic power of France. Their Sovereigns felt this at the time ; the sufferings and services of their faithful people were abundantly recognized ; they had no wish at heart but to secure to their faithful sub jectS that free_constitution which they earned by the liberation of their country : but no sooner were they well out of the toils—no sooner was' Napoleon safe on the rock of St. Baena, than they laid their heads together to contrive how they could best renew the old system of tyranny over their devoted people, and how they could best act, in holy alliance, to chastise the rebellion of such cif Wein a 3" sliewed any symptoms of dissatisfac tion. No sooner did those Monarchs find them selves in a w hole skin, than they discovered that the promises they had made ought to he wholly disregarded ; they found out that their relation to each other, and to all foreign powers, ren dered, this a sacred duty, and made the ob. servance of it indispensable to the main tenance of, social order. The delusion, how ever, is approaching fast to a crisis. It can not, as the Edinburgh Review, in itE • last number, well remarks, be too often topeated, " that no overt act, no incendiary decree, no encouragement to revolt, no correspondenc e with" the disaffected, is laid to the charge of Spain. She has no need of • disavowing them. She-is so innocent as not even to be accused. by enemies who plott.her destruction., Nothing, therefore, remaies but the doctrine, Oat whenever a state thinks or says that her quiet is endangered by the mere example of the form of. Government of another nation, she may make war to Aestroy that Govornm'ent l Such a doctrine "Auld halo no independence ; for every weaker Didion to change its Go. would in that case be bound vernment at the pleasure of a stronger neighbour. As it would leave no independence, it could leave no international law,of which the sole object is the protection of independence. It would esta blish universal and eternal war ; for such a right of intervention must belong to all nations, or to none ; and if to all, it is evident that there could be no peace till one nation had established its favourite government, and secured it over all countries. The worst governments would possess this right more clearly than the best; for it is surely to bad govern ments that the example of good is most dangerous. Morocco might make a war against England for setting the example of a pure administration of justice at Gibraltar, which would excite the Africans to revolt against their masters. As des potism prevails over a far greater number of men than liberty, and barbarism than civilization, the practical effect of this doctrine, if universally adopted, would be , to reduce all mankind to be at once barbarians and slaves." [MORNING HERALD.] It may be remarked that the Paris Ministerial Papers have recently given very distinct intima tions, that the conduct of the Madrid Regency does not please the Duke of Angouleme and the French Cabinet. Of the pretensions mid spirit of this Regency there are abundant illustrations in the Manifestoes which they have sent forth, and in their public acts. Their pretensions in political and ecclesiastical doctrine Are as despotic as those of Philip ll.—they denounce vengeance without compromise against all Constitutionalists —and in Madrid, 'Valladolid, Burgos, and other large towns, which have come under their domi nion, the inhabitants are dungeoned by hundreds as " suspected persons," one of the most odious designations in the vocabulary of the French Re volution—or under the pretence of being kept as hostages for the safety of King Ferdinand. All this, we are told, does not meet the approba tion of the French Prince and his army. The first and most natural suggestion here, is to ask, if it be displeasing, why is it not checked ? Is not this Regency the very creature of the Duke of Angouleme, and the puppet of his will ? —What existence has it but in the breath of the Duke, and the protection of the French army. Nothing seems to us more evident than that this disclaimer of the conduct of the Regency is an artifice. What its purpose is will probably come out hereafter. We shall not now endeavour to fathom it. It is no wonder that the French should resort to artifices after the notorious success of the system of duplicity which they practised, upon one of the most clear-sighted men in Europe, in tlie negociation with this coun try previous to the invasion. Mr. Canning, when pressed in the House of Commons for having al. lowed the French Cabinet to dupe liim, frankly declared in substance (we do not profess to give his language) that he retied on the assurances of the French Ministers, because they were such as no Government could be supposed capable of violating from unsteadiness or insincerity. Any second experiment; however, will' scarcely have the same success—and least of all, we should think, will it be believed, that the Regency of Madrid can utter a word or stir a finger, but by the sufferance of the Duke of Angouleme.--Another circumstance worthy of remark, is the barrenness, or rather, suppression of intelligence in the French Go. vernment Journals. At the moment of writing these observations, the latest French Papers be fore us are those of Monday. In them there are accounts to the Bth inclusive from Madrid. The private letter in the Moriiteitr, by which the Pro clamations of Morino were c ommun i ca t e d, was dated' the 2d. Front the 2d to the Bth th en , upon a subject of such interest—even in its slightest variation of movement—not a word has b een s a id by the official or demi-official ourna ls, or by General Guilleminot, who signs and forwards the dispatches. It is to he supposed that Morino could in all that time have maintained the unde cided and unacknowledged position he had as sumed—or that the French Cabinet could be without intelligence ? One fact stated in the Ptoile, a well-known and confidental Ultra Paper, is of some importance as throwing further doubt upon the account of Morillo's defection. ft Avas asserted that he had removed Quiroga from the command which he held of a division, and that t h e l a tt e r had fled to Corium, in order with his family, to proceed to England. Now it is admitted by the Etoile that the regiments would tint be parted from Quiroga , and that it was his presenc e that pr e vented the submission of the province of Gallicia. It must, no doubt, be ad nutted by i m pli ca ti on , from the Etoile, that Mo (ilia strove to remove him, though without suc cess. French Papers also give but little in telligence even of their own operations. It is now some days since they have given any ac count of Molitor's corps, which was operating against that of Huliasteros. 11tIstt Ftsuriuts.—The Commissioners have presented the 4th R eport f or t h e y e a r ending the s t h o f stpril, 1H23..1)44g the Fishery of 184, which the House of incidental and logisla t i ve , Commons has publi s h e d.

HOME CIRCUIT-CHELMSFORD, JULY 16. CROWN SIDE. James Cook and Wm. Lamp/ough were indicted for assault , - ing Catherine Dallaway, on the King's highway at Stratford, on the 29th May, putting her in fear, and stealing from her person a silk scarf, her property. It appeared that Miss Dallaway and her sister, young ladies . of respectable appearance, were returning across the fields. from Temple Mills to Stratford on the day in question, and. when near the stile passed two men lying under the hedge.— The men immediately rose and followed them, and whilst the ladies were in the act of passing the stile, one of the men seized hold of the prosecutrix's scarf, and attempted to pull it from her shoulders. She resisted in great alarm, but, after a short ca i stru gle, the ruffian succeeded in possessing himself of the s . and ran away towards Temple Mills Bridge, followed by h s companion, who stood by and witnessed the struggle:....- • The Lathes, however, pursued them, and, having obtained assistance, they were taken into custody. -Neither of the Ladies could identify the prisoners as being the offenders, but. a little boy, who was on the bridge at the time, and to whom both the prisoners were well known, proved that they passed the bridge precisely at the time stated, pursued by the Ladies.. The scarf was not found upon either of the prisoners. The Prisoners solemnly declared their innocence. Mr. Baron Onattam charged the'Jury, and said, that it they were satisfied of the identity of the prisoners, the charge was fully established ; for the struggle between one of them and the Prosecutrix, and the alai'' which she declared she felt, fully supported the legal definition of a highway robbery ; and as both the prisoners were evidently coneerricd in the same design, both were equally amenable to the law, thougii one only committed the actual violence. The Jury deliberated a few minutes, and found both prisoners guilty—Death. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—WORCESTER, JULY 16. MURDER. Elizabeth Gibbons, a single woman, was indicted for tiib ful murder of her female illegitimate child. The' body was found in the River Stour. 111 r. Justice PARK summed up at great length, and left it to the Jury to say if they were satisfied the child was born alive, and if so, that it was wilfully and maliciously destroyed by the mother ; and, if such were their opinion, they would return a verdict of guilty, If they were of opinion it was not wilfully destroyed, but that she supposed it lifeless when she threw it, into the water, it being in a torpid state, they would acquit her. Before the Jury retired, the prisoner said that she supposed the child was dead when she threw it the water. The Jury consulted for a short time, and at four o'clock last evening, returned a verdict of " Not Guilty of the murder, but Guilty of concealing its birth." She was sentenced to six months imprisonment in the county gaol. Mr. Justice PARK said that' if the verdict had been that of guilty, no one who had heard the evidence could have denied its justice, and he should have left. a for execution on Friday. He gravely admonished her upon her future conduct. She was then carried from the dock, apparently insensible. COFFEE. [lmproved ;Method of preparing this Beverage.] From the highly fugacious nature of that part of coffee on' which its fine flavour depends, a practice has 'become very go-. nerallv adqpted of late years of preparing the liquor by Strain ing. This method has not only thegreat defect of being exees sivelywasteful, but the coffee is likewise apt to be cold. Coction and the, preservation of the fragrant matter are, however, not inconsistent. The union of these advantages is attainable by performing the operation in a close vessel. To obviate the pro duction of vapour, by which the vessel would be ruptured, the boiling temperature must be obtained in a water-bath. In my experiments I made use of a glass phial closed with a cork, at first let loose to,allow the exit of the air. Cold water was put to the coffee. This process is equally applicable to tea. Perhaps it may also be employed advantageously in the boiling of hope, during which, I understand, that a material portion of their aroma is dissipated ; as likewise possibly for making certain medicaldecoctions. This way of . pre p a ring coffee and tea presents various advantages. It is productiv e of a very constdersible eccnionly, since, b, a ll o wing of any continu ance of .the coction without the l e ast injury to the go odness, all the soluable matter may be extracted, and subsequently a. liquors may be kept for any proportionate less quantity of them becomes required. By allow ing the coffee to - cool in the closed vessel, it may be filtered through paper, then returned into the closed vessd,. and heated agaiti, and thus bad of the most perfect clearness without any foreign addition to it, by which coffee is impaired. The heat, in private famiiies, coffee-houses, &c. so as to be ready at the very instant callea for: It will likewise prove of no small theyfine to ni l t o h w e few. By convenienc e to travellers who have neither kettle nor Milt pot, nor tea - pot, in place 3 where these articles are to be length of time at a boiling pro cured, as a bottle will supply them.
