. , restoratiOrti of4:glitch their own acknowledgment that they had received intelligence from Cadiz to the 20th,proves that they could not have been ignorant... We haie formerly. stated, that we' have. reasons for believing that . under these au- 1 spiciofir circumstances Sir WILLIAM 'A'CotiWr - would forthwith renew his attendance on the King of SPAIN, as the Ambassador of this coun try ; and although it has been said that his Ex cellency has been left to the exercise of his own discretiOn on this point, we now repeat the expression Of, our belief, that he has: before this removed to Cadiz. The Constituiionnel has published - an account of in alleged plot to carry olf the King of SPAIN from Seiille, which is vald to have been planned by an Englishman, and to'which it is even pretended that Sir WILLIAM A'CounT was privy.—As the Cadiz accounts are totally silent respecting the discovery of any such design, the whole story, though its principal features are certainly very probable, is perhaps .. without withont foundation ; but, at all events, we Cannot hesitate for . an instant to express our utter disbelief of that part of it which relates to .Sir WiwAst A'COUI T. There are reports that the French General Botra;ct has been defeated by AlonitAo,,and it is asserted'. that die corps of LOPEZ I3ANos has been for the second time totally destroyed.— We must•wait for mere authentic intelligence • respecting these alleged events before we attach any credit to them. There are also contradictory statements respecting the future destinatiou of the Duke d'ANikout.x.stz, some accounts repre senting that he had announced his iuteutiou to remove his head-quarters to the isle of Leon, for the purpose .of accelerating the operations of his army against Cadiz, and others, on the con trary, intimating that he was about to return to France!. The latter report is in some degree cor roborated hy the departure of the new French Marshal LAUIIISTON for Madrid, and by the return to Paris, from the Spanish Capital, of M. M. MArronNAc and CAux. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Sus-OrFict, wig o'CLocx.--We have just received by express the Paris Papas of Satur day, and the note of yesterday, from which we give the following extracts :-- ( From the Dratieau Blanc of Soturgay,) They write from Madrid of the t Oth June that Count BOURDESOULT is master of the whole of the. Bay of Cadiz. It. is • now certain ,that . MtriA. has entered Barcelona, but with few troops, having left a ,garrison at Seo Urge', The Illinisterial Journals announce they 144 received a Madrid Gizette, of the 29th instant, which does not contain any news. ',From the Pilate, July 8.1 It was yesterday reported on 'Change that a Tegiment of chasseurs were attacked in the en . vinous of Madrid by thet guerillas, and that they ihad had difficult work to make them retire. • The news which was circulated yesterday of • on ouagement between the division of DONNA* Dm and the corps of MINA, seems to gain credit. We are much surprised we have no news of this corps for lo days.

METROPOLITAN LAW SOCIETY. , n . 4 - 'The :Members et Mos laudable Institution, the Object of which is to promote fair and honourable practice, anti to prevent abuses in the profesaionef the law, held their anni versary dinner on Saturday last, at the Albion Tavern, Alders' gate-street. The company was numerous and highly respectable. Among the guests we noticed Lord Erskine, Mr. J. J. Lock hart, .M.P., Mr. Courtenay, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Preston, Mr. Alderson, Mr. C. 'Williams Mr.' Oliver Ferrer, Mr. &riven, Mr.Soant,'Mr. Sykes, Marundreth, Mr. Spence, Mr. France, Mr. a'Becket, and a long list of distinguished Members of the Profession. NATHANII;LATCHESON, Esq. the Principal of the Society, for the present year, was in the Chair. At six o'clock dinner was announced, and proved in every way adequate to the taste of the" good judges," who had to pronounce upon its merits. On the cloth being removed, " Non Nobis Amine" was sung by Mr. Hawes, Mr. •Taylor, Mr. Terrell, Mr. Broad- burst, and other professional singers, engaged for the occasion, with considerable effect. The Chairman then gave " The Xing," with three times three; which was drank with long continued plaudits.—" Clod save the King,"—" The Duke of York and the Army,"—Olee i 4 ' How merrily we live that Sol diers be."—" The Duke of Clarence and the Navy;' with three times three.—" Rule Britannia."--'c The other Branches of the Royal Family," with three times three. • The CHAIRMAN then rose, and proposed the health of the noble and distinguished indi v idu a l, Lord Erskine, who had that day honoured them with hi s p resence . It'h en they recollected the splendour of his eloquence, and the integrity and consist ency of his character, he was sure they would fully appreciate the honour conferred upon them by his Lordship's attendance on the occasion, and participate with him in the gratifying prospect which such patronage afforded of every object cen• nected with the Institution, being fully effected. lie felt inadequate to the expression of his own sentiments of respect and veneration for the distinguished Nobleman who had thus . kindly consented to visit them. He. had, from the earliest period of his recollection, had the opportunity of observ ing the professional career of that great man, and he was convinced, that those who heardhim would agree, that it was at all times marked by every thing that was honourable—every thing that was fearless and independent—and every thing that could exalt the character and reputation of the English Bar. In the discharge of his professional duties be had always been affable and courteous, and no man perhaps ever more conciliat ed the affection and esteem of those who consulted him than Lord Erskine. He would not presume, in proposing this toast, to trespass further on their attention, than to express his convic tion that when his Lordship descended amidst the shades of his forefathers, his memory would ever be cherished with feelings of the deepest veneration and affectionate admiration. In con elusion, lie begged to propose " The health of Lord Erskine, with three times three. ' _ _ This toast was drank with the strongest marks of enthusiasm. Lord ERSKINE then rose and said, that be must, indeed be insensible if he were not much affected by the manner in which his health had been drank. He assured the Meeting that he was much flattered as well as pleased by the invitation. to at tend the present meeting, because it shewed that those l a bour s of the early part of his life, to which lie at all times looked back ' with pleasure, were not fingotten by those towards whom he invariably felt the warmest feelings of regard. Ile trusted' he' had at all times evinced the feelings and planners of a Gentle. man, and to this he ascribed the respect which he was proUd to say he still enjoyed. lie would venture to say that upoli such feeling and such manners much of the dignity of the law de ' pended.—(Cheers.)—He ever considered .that.the members of the profession in all its departments were equally entitled to re spect, kindness, and regard ; and lie was bound tosay, that lie had ever found the law, in all its branches, in the highest degree honourable. Complaints were made of the expences of the law, and many injurious reflections were in consequence cast upon its Members. The • true cause of those expences, hoWever, were to be traced to the system of stamp dunes, which had of late risen to an alarming extent. This was a gross abuse, and contrary to the most sacred provision of Magna Chant*, which says, " Ilrulli rendcmus ju.tatiani." It was the *Mem of stamp duties which justly gave rise to the assertion that justice was sold; but -he trusted it would ultimately receive • the correction it demanded from the hands of Parliament._ . ... He often looked briek with regret to his retirement from his professional life, and lamented .that ,circumstances,, how. ever honourable to hiniself, had withdrawn him from scenes so congenial to his mind. in conclusion, he expressed his cordial approbation of the objects of this Society, and wished it every, possible success. His Lordship then proposed as a toast— Prosperity to the Metropolitan Law Society," with three times three. This was drank with loud applause. , " Should auld acquaintance be forgot,".and chOrni. Mr. ARDERTON, the Secrettsryolien produced and read the 14port of the Committee. lt commenced by alluding to tli'e origin of the Society, and describing its objects; after which It proceeded as follows " The Committee have at all times directed their most par ticular attention to the claims of persons applying to be ad. mitted as A ttornles ; consisting, on an average, of one hundred and thirty persons in each term ; antlin the promotion of this desirable , end, a list of the persons seeking to be admitted is printed each term, and regularly distributed throughout the kingdom, and placed in a conspicuous situation in the different Courts. .Although the obtaining, printing, and circulating this list is attended with considerable expellee, your Commit. tee deem it of considerable importance that this should be con. tinutxl, since it has been productive of the most adVantageons effect, end has been sanctioned by the approval of the Judges. Since the formation of the Society, seven individuals applying for admission have been successfully opposed; and caveats against others have been entered, which has deterred them from pursuing their application." " It is with feelings of regret the Committee report that two Attornics have, during the past year, on the prosecution of the Society,' been struck off the Rolls; and deeply as they deplore the necessity of this measure. it is only by making an example of the unworthy, thatothent are deterred froili the like practices., and the respectability of the profession continued and main. tained. The Committee, in the discharge of their duty in Tri. pity Term, 1022, directed an application to be made to th e ' Court of King's Bench against Th omas Brown, of llolbcach, in the County of Linceln, and who bad also an office in Lon. don, to strike him off the Roll of Attornica of that Court, for permitting William. Ward, an unqualified person, to share and participate with him in the profits of his business. And in Michaelmas Term last the rule was made absolute, and Brown has been struck off the roll accordingly. " A similar application also was made in Ililary Term last, against Thomas Jackson, of 'Change-alley, in the city of Lon don, for being in partnership with 'rheimas Wood, a Convey- ancer, and allowing him to share in the profits of the business of an attorney . : which rule was in the OM Term made abso lute, by ordering Jackson to be struck off the roll, and Wood to be committedto the King's Bench Prison fur one month. " In last Ililary Term an application was made to the Court of Kin g 's Bench, and a rule obtained fOr an attachment apinst JoivColville, for practising as an Attorney in the name of James Dawson, an Attorney of that Court, without his know. ledge or consent; and against George Glover, for swearing an anWavit describing himself as the Clerk of James Dawson,' being in fact the Clerk of Colville, and not of Dawson, the: indgrnent of the Court is postponed until next Michaelmas Term. , “ in addition to the atinve, there has been several minor pro secutions, in which, upon the promise of the parties not to ro e peat their offence, and on amain of their having large families dependant upon them for support, the proceedings against them' have been abandoned, and without the payment of any cost ; it tieing u rule with this society never to suffer any costs to be taken, but by an order of the Court. ” The society keep for the use of the members, a list of re jected bail ; and the rules and orders of the Courts are printed and distributed immediately after they are made. " The Committee, in order to deter attornies from permitting unqualified persons to practice in their names, or allowing such persons to participate with them in the profits of th e ir business, have, during the last year, caused to be printed a nd distributed upwards of two thousand cautions, containing an abstract of Acts of Parliament relating to such offences. " The Committee having discovered that several certificated Conveyancers had vroeured commissions for inking affidavits in the Court of King a Bench, they, in Hilary Term, sty:weeded in obtaining 4-rule of that Court, preventing commissions being obtained by such persons in future, and such rule has been printed and distributed. " The Committee have also directed Memorials to be pre sented on the first day of next Michaelmas Term, to the Courts of King's Bench and Common Plots, praying that on all writs , to bring the party into Court, the attorn e y a nd plaintiffs' places of abode shall appear, and that the names and places of iibode ' of attornies and other persons taking out summonses at the Judges' Chambers, shall he indorsed on the first summons; and also, that all writs returned shall be filed separately, on a file to be kept for each respective county. "'The Committee have great Satisfaction in communicating I that they have succeeded in obtaining a very important and be neficial alteration in the annual' Indemnity Act, which will in obtaining a...in.ois.on, to ;tot as anomie'', future prevent persons unless their articles are stampe six months after their execution ; it having become the practice to get them stamped only a few days before admission, upon the payment of a small penalty.

He could not but feel highly fluttered by the numerous attendance of Members that day, and more especially by the presence of the Noble Lord next him. He felt it as a corimltment, and it was the more pleasing to him, as he could not but considei it as likely to have the best effect upon the welfare 'and prosperity of the Institution.

LA.W UJTETLIGENCE. COUItT OF CHANCERY, 'Nix 3. 1/EItUVIAN LOAN. JON'ES AND OTHERA V. KINDER AND OTHERS. Mr. WETHERELL moved, on behalf orthe defendants, that Vie injunction restraining Messrs. Everett and Co. bankers, "Neu parting with a sum o f money i n t h e i r hands, and .Ir. Winder from interfering with it, and Messrs. Garda del Rio and Panda:lien, Envoys from the Peruvian Government, from receiving the money, -should:be dissolved. The plaintiffs were, Mi.,Jefikin Janes, Mr. Eatithope, and Mr.,Adamson. " When the injunction was granted, he (Mr. Wetherell) was not In Court, and therefore could 'not well tell on what equity it had been sought. The Loan CHANCELLOR asked if it was not worth while to consider whether this,Court could interfere at all. lie was k b re n w d lha ii t tl t i h n i g s I crn ',:yt 3 .l'°autrtp°eac f tj e le i . w K ith in t g he of G t o h v i e s cn re m ai rni o to f Spain, and that thikcountry did not recognize a Peruvian Go.' vernment. The question arose, therefore—Ought this Court to interfere at all ? _ ' •‘ Mr. WETHERELL would confine himself to that question, if his Lordship pleased, because certainly it seemed to over. rule all others. • His LoaDart tr.--. Suppose,. for instance, that money, by some slip or other, had got into this Court, to the account of he Peruvian Government, would it not have belonged to the King of this country ? Mr. WieTiti:linu.—The money-is not in this Court, my Lord. • His LORDSHIP. —No; it happens not to be here; but if it had happened to have been in Court, what would have been the consequence? • Mr. W'ETiiivueer....,-With great deference I reply, that in my opinion this country has no right to ask what is to be done with this money. His liontisitir.—The better way of putting the question Is—" What r i g h t h as any person to call upon the King's Courts Of this country to interfere to forward or to prevent such ne gociations ?" Mr. WETHERELL thought that was just what he wanted. His Lounsit te.-t—There has been a great deal said in the newspapers about the leivility of the subscription raising . for Spain, but with that I. have nothing to do. Vet supposing those subscriptions to be legal (without committing myself either way by saying they are or are not), I should be glad to know whether; on a turn of money being paid into Childs shop, or any other shop, for the p ur p ose o f b eing sent i nto that coun. try, with •whiCh we are at this tnoment at perfect peaceohis country's King's Court could be called upon to interfere at all ? its far as that goes, it ix in your favour, M r . W et h ere ll ; f or unless the Learned Gentlemen on the other side can, on this state of the record, say . thut this Court ought to i nter f ere , t h en there ought to be no injunction. And that will depend on another thing—namely, whether it can be made out, that if there had been only one subscriber to this loan, he could have maintained an action for the recovery of the money in the Court of King's Bench ? And that I doubt very much. In short, ought this Court to interfere with pe rsons who thought p roper to treat with a Government which th is country knew nothing at all of ? Mr. Wirritruitt.r. agreed that neutrality - ought to be the principle in this case; consequence of that would. be, that if parties could not get an order from this Court to send this money to Peru, neither could an ord er b e ma d e t h at i t should ,not. be sent. The Learned Counsel concluded by hoping the injunction would be dissolved. His Lo tumuli.' doubted considerably whether the difficulties he felt had been properly understood. He then repeated them, which coda in the question,..—" Ought this Court to interfere at all with parties who thought proper to treat with a Govern. merit unknown to thi s country ?” Mr. Jones's affidavit merely went the length of saying, that at the time he subscribed to this loan he believed Peru to be an established Oovernment but what had the Court to do with that ? Mr. HEALD followed Mr. WETticittmt. on the same side, and continued to argue in favour of the motion, until the LORD CHANCELLOR rose. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JuLY, S. EDWARDS V. ELT. AND OTHERS. Mr. Sergeant PEI.t. stated the case for the plaintiff: The action, he said, was brought by the plaintiff, a dissenting Mi. rater, agairlit the defendants, who were the proprietors of th e Tinter newapeper,' for a libel, published in. that paper against the. Plaintiff.: The. object of the nction was to vindicate the character of the plaintiff in the estimation of his acquaintance and the world. The defendants were not at all supposed to have any malignity againtit the plaintiff ; probably they had no knowledge of the-libel, although they were legally answerable for hit consequences t and he was satisfied the case would be met, on the part of the defendants, with the same liberality it was brettwht forward on the part of the plaintiff: All would feel that the Dissenters were a most respectable body of Christians, and England was highly indebted to them. Mr. Ed war d s , had for 16 years been the Minister of ashapel at, Marlow, in Beek,. inghamshire, and Instrumental in establishing a school thete. On the 211th of April, a paragraph was published in the 'Plaits, which it could not be 411114b4d applied to the plaintiff; !viz., " A aerious Misunderstanding has taken place between tins in dependent congregation at Great Marlow, and their Mini. ater in consequence of personal invectives used by the latter in the pulpit, against the character of a young lady, of guished merit and spotless reputation. We understand the subject will be seriously taken up by the friends of the injured young lady." At the foot of the paragraph were the words -t Bucks Ctironick," as it' taken from that paper. This was accusing Mr. Edwards of the basest conduct, of using his Pulpit for the purpose of slandering the character of a lady. Mr. Edwards had been lei years Minister of the dissenting emigre. gation ofillarlow, from which he derives an emolument; he is a *harried man, and has five children; he is also concerned in a trade in lace, which is not uncommon with clergymen, whose income is small and family large. Mr. Edwards, feeling him self injured, brought his action against the defendant*, who have put in a pin ofjustifieation on the record, and say the plain tiff did publish the libel against Margaret Phair, by saying, ' 44 T have something to say against the conduct of one of the female preachers, whose conduct is • • • , a nd who does more harm than good; and if she shall go to the school again, she shall be turned out." The plea went on to state, that the publication of the libel gave great offence to seve re! persons of the congregation, whose names were stated on the record. By this defence the defendants adopted the libeL and undertook tojustify, it. This proceeding plainly shewed that there was some one behind who indemnified the defendants for defending the cause. He would prove the publication in the Timer newspaper, and that it applied to the plaintiff, and. that the defendants were the proprietors of the paper, which . would entitle him to a verdict, unless the truth of the words were proved. The action was not brought for money, but to vindicate the plaintiff; and unless any unworthy attempt was made to injure the plaintiff still more, he would be satisfied with the most moderate damges. He would now state the facts which were so greatly misrepresented in the libel. Miss Phair, with other young ladles in Marlow, had undertaken to assist in the school; It soon, however, appeared that the scholars under her care did not attend the chapel. Mr. Edwards thought this improper, and merely stated that he considered Miss Phair's conduct, in taking the children to other places of worship, was improper; and that if' children were so taken from the school, they should not be allowed to return. This was the whole of what had been swelled into the libel, of which the plaintiff complained, whose cause, ,he wns satisfied, was safe in the hands of the jury. 2111`hr.e Sergeant of t io vAua tle utAlNibel submitted bettedg that proved, the p lain tiff was bound to prove that he was a licensed preacher. Mr. Justice Buttnoutius overruled the objection. Mr. Serjeant VAR OMAN addressed the Jury for the defend. ants. He hoped it would not be supposed he was in s tru c t e d to make re fl ections on any se t of Christians ; he could never lend himself to such a proceeding, nor was it required of him. The plaintiff was a shoemaker, who had been raised on a pinnacle to be irdissenting minister. It was not likely he should have the advantage of eilucatio'n to fit him for hi s sa cre d office._ There Was another action brought by the plaintiff against the Racks Chro. nick : and hail the plaintiff given the defendants the opportunity of explaining how the paragraph came to be , inserted. in their Paper, there would have been no necessity of his bringing the present action. But it was farcical to say that the action was not brought in London to take advantage of the Ignorance of the parties by whom it was to be tried, that their verdict might set an example to the Bucks Jury. Whatever the'Minister mild in his chapel as Minister he said uncontradicted: and the plaintiffreen.. tinning Miss Phair by name, and saying her conduct was int. proper and a disgrace to the school, was molt grossly offensive ; and it did justly create a serious misuridersuinding in the con. gregation ; and he would produce a Deacon of the congrega.; non who called on the plaintiff to give Miss Phair an:epporto. nity of vindicating herseir. What was the plaintiff's answer— " She is a lying: hussey." This . was the language used of an amiable young woman, respected by all who knew her; who had voluntarily devoted her time to the instruction of the children of the school. An opportunity _was, however,it length arrived cd 3liss Plink of vindicating herself; and, it appeared, that the whole. offence of which she had been guilty WA/allowing two of the dim galling offence which the plaintiff could not endure. tie Wita d m ren oth w er " to ha°ftlenteuld durin g t e h t i i p rn o e f n a r n e o v t e h a e i r n e g li s :pe rv i l . et 'l w 'h 4 is lit iras th t t h i e r byuo t hie answer was, t i ll ib e ei n , lia b k y eil ev io d n el l i a c k e : 4 B44 fte lO r w 4l::::: t y he rar W lorg' e " no l u f g Y lt a " "lilt hare n e la ei k l e to tin ju a srif )l ; g Ant was called 4 Jury iilg Cfn WC: U t c o 4 determine she_ • then the plaintiff had any claim for damiies; and whether the defendants were malignant libellers. • Several witnesses proved that on Sunday the 6th of April, immediately before Mr. Edwards gave out his test, he saki Mies Phair was a disgrace to the s ch oo l, an d did more hurt than good, and signified that he had seen the children in the street who ought to be at their dpty in the chapel.. .
