THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, June 19.. [THE TIMES.] The state of the Funds in France, according to the last papers, which arrived in the course of yesterday up to Tuesday, indicate the protrac tion of the war and the necessity of further exer thins in the way of men and money. The news from Spain, as derived from French journals, de scribe affairs as going on successfully for the invaders, but the success is of that kind which promises no speedy termination, and points to no specific result. The French are advancing towards Seville, from whence the Cortes are, with equal promptitude, ready to depart with the King Ferdinand. Only 5,000 troops are to be left by the Duke of Angouleme within Madrid— a circumstance which, we should say, spoke well for the disposition of the inhabitants towards the' military guests, were it not announced that a greater force is to take up its quarters in the vi cinity, in such a position as to admit of a speedy junction with those who remain in the city. His Royal Highness does not wish 44 to keep in 41 Madrid more troops than the service requires." 'What service! ? we ask. The object of the French being merely to free the Spaniards from the thraldom of a few factious men, and those being Peel from Madrid, surely that loyal city can de. fend itself against their return, and leave the liberators to pursue their glorious enterprise. A flaunting bombastic letter from Donnadieu boasts of advantages over Nina, whose very existence affixes indelibly the reproach of falsehood to all the former dispatches of his opponents,,anneunc« ing his overthrow and the dispersion 'of his corps. There is a report that Cadii will neither admit the King nor the Cortes.. We know no thing of the fact; but amidst , the various occur ences and heterogeneous parties of a civil war aggravated by foreign Invasion, such, a resolution is by no means iniprobable. The decadence of the Cortes party is said to be indicated by the flight of some of the Members, and Sir W. A'Conrt is represented as having (very 'properly we think) allowed Gibralter to serve as a place of refuge for them. We still doubt, however, whether the affairs of the Cortes are yet at so low an ebb : and the termination of the war is a totally different affair from the dissolution of the Cortes. The Journal de .Par h of Monday contains a docu ment of some importance in a political point of view. It is the decree by which the new Spanish Re gency Is created. Hereupon it is most proper to remark, that this Regency is not the work of any Spaniard or number of Spaniards, but of the Duke' d'Angouleme, a Frenchman. The Councils of Castile and the Indies had positively declared their incompetence to nominate a body which should exercise the functions of Royalty ; but, awing constrained, they simply ,mention the names •of some persons who, in their opinion, would be fit for the task, and the French Ge neral instantly, in the name of ' the King of France, declares those persons Regents ofSpeirst We have no hesitation in saying that, obedience to an authority emanating from such a source is • treason. What right, except the right of eon. quest, can Prince Hill have to tie that in Spain to which the first Councils of the State declare themselves incompetent ? This aversion :also of the Councils to act, shows full clearly their opi nion of the interference of the french. [MORNING mummer.] The sudden and extraordinary depression in the French and Spanish Funds, as received in the quotations from Paris in the course of yester. day, gave rise, as usual, to a . variety of rumours. The real causes, no doubt, are, first, the new heavy loan required by the Bourbons ; and se condly, the conviction, that the present war will be an extremely protracted one, and conse quently that there' are considerable risks to be run in the interval. This urgent and large de. mend for fresh troops, to which we have several times alluded, bins staggered the confidence of many hi the issue of the war ; nor have these fears been in the least allayed by the modest term of ".army of reserve" being given to these fresh supplies required for immediate and active service. Some apprehensions are also entertained of the result of the hazardous movement ordered by the French Generalissimo, since his arrival in Madrid. The' great anxiety of tile Bourbons lie get possession of the person of King Yerdi nand was evinced before the actual commenct meta of the war. For this purpose a large sum of money was placed at the disposal of Bessieres, with a view to a coup de main, end previously, the revolt of the guards on the 7th of July, bad for object to convey away the King to riance. A French division, consisting entirely of cavalry, has now been sent off to Seville with a ll possible dispatch, under the orders Of General liordesouille, with a view also 'to' seise on the person of the King ; an attempt deemed so clan• gerous in Paris, owing to the distance and the 'mother of men belonging to Villacampa's army, that a private letter says, a telegraphic dispatch has been sent oil to countermand, if possible, their advance, Th e Sp an i ar d s h ave , h owever, been beforehand with the French, by resolving to convey. the Kiwg and Government to. Cadiz, under existing circumstances, by far the most eligible anti safe place. ' The 'population of this mercantile town is extremely select, there being very few of the lower orders. The inhabitants are besides extremely enthusiastic, and Cadiz bad the honour of saving the independence of the nation during the last war. The popu. lace of Madrid and Seville cannot be trusted, when money and infuriated Priests may be em. ployed to stir them up. The manotos of Madrid are a rabble of the most ignoiaut description, easily led astray ; and their were 'toady to wel come the French, owing to the large sums of money previously distributed among them.— ' These are the temporary friends of the Bourbon invaders, as long as money can be expected, and every, thing looks prosperous'; but, let a reverse come, and they will as soon be converted into the bitterest enemies. It is of the plaudits Of this class that the Duke d'Angouleme has hitherto avuly been able to boast. Amagnificent description was given orthe Levee in Madrid,on the day of St. Ferdinand, which, it was said, was attended by 800 Spaniards. A private letter from that place mentions, that no more than 19 Spaniards of re spectability were present, and these all of them persons belonging to the old orderof things,and in terested in its return.—The public of this country seem indeed condemned to hear of the events passing in the Peninsula from no other reports than those made up and transmitted from Paris. This is a circumstance of deep regret to a people who evidently take so lively an interest in the present contest, though they are too sensible and too reflecting to allow themselves to be duped or deluded by what they receive through so pol luted a channel. They look at facts and results, and find that the French, along their extended line of march, have not taken a single fortress or place it was intended to defend ; that the Bour bon hero has been two months in getting to the capital, although the road was purposely opened for him, when in Buonaparte's time the same dis tance was performed with a larger army in fif teen days, and, in short, that the French, who expected large armies of the Faith to rise up to aid them, feel themselves compelled to do all the work themselves. [nRITI9II MUM] The indefatigable Mina, for whose efforts no praise can be too great, has again baffled all the efforts of his adversaries. A dispatch from Don nadieu, dated Soism - I'4'ole Ist of June, at eight in the evening, states, that the Spanish Chief, pursued night and day, escaped at Baga by a miracle ; that he, threw himself across precipices without giving his soldiers any rest, and marched them over the highest mountains, near Seo Urgel, where lie arrived on the 31st May. His intentions, the Ultra Dotmadieu states, were to regain Car dona by St. Laurent; and according to his infor mation," Mimes army was extinguished and com pletely demoralized : he ravages the country he passes through, and forces the inhabitants to give him provisions." What trash this is! Donnadieu was himself utterly defeated by the heroic Chiil; so completely beaten, that he was stated to be a prisoner; and it is followed by his bombastic dispatch, stating the miracle by which his vic torious antagonist escaped, and the extinction of his army for at Least the fiftieth time. We are sick of such stuff. This notable dispatch is pre ceded by one of Moncey's, dated the day before, the 29th. He went to reconnoitre the positions of Mataro and Granolles : on the 30th he went to Vich. Donnadieu, who would follow Mina in the Cerdagnes, if necessary, was on the 300 i at Berge. The Brigade St. Priest and the Baron d'Eroles were also In pursuit of Mina.. This! pursuit is like that recorded of the, first Inhabit+ ants of Arcadia, who chased the sun upon the bills, and when they thought they had found his resting place, discovered it to be still as distant as ever from their view. Disap- 1 pointment and defeat are the only results that have followed the French arms in .Catalonia, let MoncOy and Donnadieu unite as they will. Bal 'macros, about whom so much anxiety was ex, pressed since Abishal'a defection, entered Va lenein, it appears (from the report of the Spanish Minister of 'War), and dispersed the troops which blockaded the place under the Swiss Uhlman. Molitor has been recalled in post haste in consequence from Catalonia, and ordered by Angouleme to march rapidly on Va. lencia, to the aid of Uhlman and the cut-throats of the faith. The live hundred prisoners an nounced to have been taken by the French at Mature, have now dwindled down to twenty five. Two French officers bad unfortunately fallen into the enemy's power at the same time. Letters from Perpignan to the 2d, state that Mina, with his usual resolution, had announced his intention of shooting all the French prisoners in his power, if these two officers, taken to Gerona for trial, should un dergo that melancholy fate. The last accounts from Bayonne to the 3d, state that the Duchess of Angouleme was expected there on her way to Madrid. We should deem it rather a hazardous expedition for her just now. Three thousand Constitutional guerillas, in several bands, by the latest accounts, hung on the high road between Madrid and Vittoria ; it would not be pleasant for the Duchess to become their captive, and lie taken up the mountains until ransomed. A dispatch of Guilleminot's, dated the Ist June, confirms the detaching, by Angou leme, two corps, under Bourdesoult and Hour mont, against Andalusia and Estremadura, both to consist of 15,000 men : the first of 7,000, under Bourdesoult, to proceed by Aranjuez, La Mancha, and Cordova, for Seville ; the other of 8,000, under Bourmont, after having joined, at Talavera de la Reyna, the advanced guard of General Vallin, to proceed by Truxillo to Estremadura. A corps of 5,000 men only will remain at Madrid ; the Ist corps and the re mainder of the troops to be encamped in the en virons, so as to be called in if required. The dispersion of the French troops is the great ob ject of the Spaniards, and of the game they are playing. The most pressing demands have been made for reinforcement, which shows that the present French force is unequal to conquest in Spain. The period is now approaching when I the climate and scattered state of the invaders will fight for the Spaniards. We shall be bitterly disappointed indeed if they do not take tre mendous advantage of it, and cut up in every di rection the French iii detail before any reinforce ments can arrive. The French Funds had fallen: the exact cause is not stated. f7IOIININ4 HERALD.] Monday's aris Papers contain two French bulletins from Madrid, dated the Ist and .2d of June. Their contents are of some interest, though they scarcely cause any change in the aspect of tiffairs. Two coxpa, the One of 7,000, the other of 8,000, and commanded by Generals Bourdesoult and Bourmont, have been detached from the main army under the Duke cl'Angonleme to march, the former upon Seville, the latter in, the =line of Estremadura. There appears every , probability that Seville had already bein abandoned, and the King and Government removed to Cadiz,—The second bulletin men tions a movement of General Molitor, the cause and object of which are left in the dark. This General had been advancing upon Valencia, when he received orders to resume his sup port of the 4th corps—that of Moncey, in Ca talonia. He was, however, soon obliged to change his purpose, and again proceed in the di rection of Valencia. The cause is not diitinctly sot forth—but it may perhaps be collected from what is stated in the bulletin he would do, viz.— First 44 encounter a Constitutional corps, which he was informed had pursued 1500 Royalists in the direction of Alcaniz," after repulsing which (the bulletin prophecies with assured noncha lance), this General would proceed rapidly to Valencia, 44 where he is impatiently (it adds) expected by the numerous corps of Royalists, assembled in the environs ; and even, as it is thought, by a large portion of the population." These are the words of the official dispatch.— That the Royalists corps, at least, are impatient for his arrival, may be readily believed ; and it may be confidently suspected that the danger or actual dispersion of the bands of the Faith, and the progress of the Constitutionalists, has com pelled Molitor to resume his line of march, aban cloning Moncey to his fate. Ballasteros has already been stated to have routed Ulman's band before Valencia; and it appears not unlikely that fighting between him and Molitor will soon be announced. NEW TIMES. TIMES.] A Telegraphic Dispatch of the Bth inst. from Madrid announces that the Division of General Laroche Jaquelin came up with the enemy near Astorga, defeated them, and took 450 prisoners. The routed troops appear to have belonged to the army of Morillo, who, according to the Bayonne news of the 3d inst. was retreating from Astorga, southward to Ciudad Rodrigo. Thus the kingdom of Leon is cleared of the Revolutionists. In Ca talonia nearly the same result has taken place. Mina, driven backwards and forwards, appears to have thrown himself for shelter into the for tress of the See de Urgel. Ills troops followed him to 'that fortress in straggling parties ; but many wholly dropped off by desertion. It would seem that great opposition is made at Seville to the removal of the King ; while, on the other hand, the 'people of Cadiz refuse to' receive either him or the Cortes within their walls. The people of Cadiz are right. Why should they expose themselves at once to a land siege and a sea blockade ? People talk of another siege of Cadiz; but they forget, that in the former siege by the French the sea was open, and indeed was guarded by an English fleet ; whereas now Ca. diz itself is blockaded by a French squadron. The' preparations for the French Loan have de. pressed the Funds both French and English. The French Rada ciosed on Monday at 87.15. Yesterday was a holiday a n our Stock Exchange ;, but business was done to a considerable amount ; l: and the closing price of Consols, for account, was 80:. Spanish Bouds closed at 3b they had been affected, in the course of the day, by a ru mour "that the Regency intended to disclaim all the Loans heretofore raised by the, Revolu tionary Authorities. We do not regard this as probable ; but believe it very much so that any future Loan to those persons will b e regar d e d as a totally lawless transaction. The lawful Spanish Government being now established de facto as well 45 de jure, at Madrid, will of course regard the persons calling Seville as mere themselves the Cortes at rebels ; and cannot possibly sanction their future contracts, whatever may be done with the past Loans. —lt would seem that Lord William Bentinck per severes in the intention of presiding to-marrow at the is t Mee t s. l i s n , g e the strangely in f lave tiv a o l u r r ea o d f already said pa S w ni e sh lament the situation in which his Lordship will be placed ; but, perhaps, re fection on those in co nsistencies may yet induce him to decline the intended office. Will his Lordship, the descendant of a Dutch Officer, who accompanied a Dutch Prince in the hive shut of England for the express purpose of altering the Government—a purpose happily effected by the Revolution of 1688—will he assert that all foreign interference in the in ternal concerns of any state is unlawful ?—Will his Lordship as a staunch friend of the British Constitution, stand forward to advocate a toad democracy like that miscalled the Spanish Con stitution ? Will he, as a military man, pretend to say that the adherents of thi s mo nstrous anarchy have acted with more bra ver y i n the field than they have shewn wisdom in the closet ? Will he assert that there is the slightest trace of military science in their operations--that they have the elements of an army--that they have discipline, organization, materiel, a military plan, or military means of any sort, to afford them a chance of success? We know he will not—he cannot—he would expose himself to endless ridicule, if he were to attempt to argue professionally on these points—they will not bear reasoning. [MORNING POST.] The present aspect of affairs in the Peninsula, considered as it ought to be with reference to the system and the hopes originally proclaimed by the two parties to the struggle, seems to us highly favourable to the cause of independence. What, we ask, was the avowed system, of France, and indeed the only rational system she could have formed ? Was it not to augment as much as possible the strength, . and Mature the preparations of the servile party in Spain, before the French armies passed the frontier? And, having once passed it, was it not her obvious policy, as well as her declared intention, by a vigorous and unremitted succession of opera tions, to bring the contest to a speedy issue ?4. What, on the other hand, .was the plan of resistance which the degenerated Government of Spain, from the first moment when the threat of invasion sounded in its ears,determined to adopt. That of surrendering the capital without wasting an effort for its protection, of , retaining possession of as many fortresses in the rear of , tho enemy a s might suffice, for the necessary points of ten. dezvous or retreat to the Guerilla hands in the course of their desultory mode of warfare, and of trusting principally for the final humiliation or 'ruin of the invading force, to the harrassing and fatal attacks, of these bands, to the baneful influence ' of the climate, and to the pri vations and losses inseparable from the situa tion of any army moving through a hostile country. Looking at these two systems, at the system of attack, as well as that of defence, is there, we ask, one single circumstance in the actual pos ture of affairs favourable to the former or un favourable to the latter? The French have certainly arrived at Madrid ' • but it is equally certain that the Cort es o f Spain, in expecta tion of their much more speedy arrival, have long ago removed the seat of Government from that city to a remote part of the kingdom.— The population of the country through which the army of France has passed has certainly not risen en muse to oppose its progress ; but it is equally certain that the Government of Spain had discouraged, both by opinions and example, any such attempt. The only success which the French have yet to boast, is a success not in furtherance of their own system, but of the system of their antagonists. Where are the bands of servile Sna niards which the French Treasury poured forth its riches tocreate ? What are their numbers? Iu what single instance have they withstood the bravery of their patriotic countrymen ? What has been the pro gress of that division of the invading army which it was not the wish of the Spanish Government to allure far into the interior of their country ? Hon has the gallant Mina baffled, and confounded, and weakened the army opposed to him ? Could he so long have been mocking, impeding, and gradually wasting away a force greatly superior in numbers to his own, if the population had not invariably favoured his operation and misled or obstructed those of the Generals against whom he con tends? Why, above all, should the Government of France now send a second army of reserve, , under the command of another French Marshal, to reinforce the troops originally destined for the invasion of Spain, if it had not discovered the disposition of the Spanish people to be the opposite of that which at one period it presumed to announce as the justification of its interference, and the pledge of its success. It is sufficiently noto rious that the bigotted Faction which now bears sway in France spares noetfort or artifice to deceive the people of that country, as to the circumstances and the prospects of the war into which it has been so unfortunately and criminally plunged ; the French must, however, be the most stupid nation upon earth, if it is not now convinced that the wicked aggression of its Government is destined to encounter a circumspect and calculating, but at the same time, a most determined, vigorous, and persevering resistance. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. • • Wren: the Bury Gazette, June 101 Amongst the numerous unworthy arts resorted Ne e r r fr el o y m an th d em " i r e e ' to by th e a d vocates of sedition, there is no one on which they to mere o p f ra ev ct e ise ry e th n an me t ul a at o i d der not ; to to.

It was not to the righteousness of the cause, but to the unrighteousness of the means employed -to aid the cause, that the alarming extent of discontent and on-English feeling was to be attributed ; and it is only surprising that so little mischief was done by an agency so powerful, in hands so un principled. The opposition press, and under this appellation we include all who systematically oppose the government, had long been pouring forth torrents of mischief, which not only threatened to engulph all the institutions of which, as Britons, we have hitherto been proud, but aimed at the destruction of the foundation stone of all our greatness, of all our glory, the loyal and religious principles of the people. The Protestant Church was to be reformed by Carlile and Co.; the Crown to be purified by Wooller, and the Parliament to be radicalised by Hunt : our religion we were to learn front Tom Paine, and our loyalty from Cobbett : universal suffrage was to Subvert the Throne, and the Age of Reason to supplant the Bible. To further all these ends, the opposition press" devoted its whole strength ; and a few months since, the object was on the very verge of fruition. How then has the plague been stay ed ? Vow has the blow been suspended ? Not by the severity of the laws, not by the activity of the Attorney-General, not by the redress of grievances, but by the bold promulgation of truth. The loyal press has, at least, for a time, saved the coun try from a struggle which no thinking man can reflect on with out horror. They arc not venal flatterers, not " hireling scribes," not tools of corruption, who have been the happy in struments of averting a calamity so dreildfUl, but brave and honest men, who, regarding no ministry, no party, no faction, have volunteered to defend the citadel of the constitution, have beaten back the assailants, have stripped the rotten carcase of rebellion of the gaudy rags which poorly concealed its pes tilential properties, and exposed the dremon-deity radicalism in all its filth and feculence. Thousands who worshipped at the shrine of the masked idol, now shrink back, disgusted front the hideous object of their former adoration ; the fogs which blindedthem have vanished before the light ofreligion and loyalty, and the people of England have:returned to their national habits, their national feelings ; habits and feelings founded on the best principles of our nature, self-respect, arising from a conscious. ness of being in full and unalloyed possession of all the free dom man can enjoy with safety to his fellow, and a determi nation to deserve that freedom, by neither ablising it, nor suf fering it to be abused. Truly, British principles will be found in an ardent love of our native land, loyalty to our So vereign, veneration (hr our church, obedience to the laws, and an honest pride in the birth-right of Britons real, substantial, rational, practical freedom ; whilst these principles predomi nate, the Constitution can never be in danger, anarchy is powerless, and sedition, nicknamed reform, may skulk in corners, and feed upon its own disappointed spleen, for it will no longer have the hearts of Englishmen to prey upon. PRIVATE THEATRE.—At eleven o'clock' On Tuesday' night, as John Linibrick, one of the officers of the Hatton Garden Police, was passitig by the end of Pool's-buildings, Mount-pleasant, Gray's-inn-lane, he heard the sound of musical instruments, and a most uproarious noise, issuing from a stable in the rear of the houses. O n i n . (Inking the cause from some of the neighbours, he was informed k was a place wh e r e private T hep. tricals were nightly performed. Limbrick pro cured a posse of watchmen, and entered the theatre, where they were performing the last scone of Romeo and Juliet. The appearance of the officers caused the greatest confusion ; about sixty persons effected their escape : the officers succeeded in securing seven, whom they conveyed in their theatrical dresses to the watch-house. They were examined yesterday at liatto l n. garden, and, after receiving a lecture, wore dis r charged. s t A Northern Paper , says— We fan state up n " goo 4 authority, that the Publi s h er o f th e Way r, ley Novels has paid the Author kir the Pira e; Nigel, Peveril 2 and Quentin Du rwar d 2610001."
