THE LONDON JOU4NALS. 31)MACTS FROM TIM DAILY MORPONCI PAPEItS, February 27, 189.3:: [MonNINa cuttorticr,s7...l Very serious and general apprehensions begin to . 'prevail that the efforts Ministers are making tVpreserie peace are not of that bald and manly kind which might be expected from Great Bri tain, in the attitude in which she ought to stand in Europe, and these apprehensions are consider ably increased -by the game Sir William A'Court is playing in Madrid. In fact, the very nomination of this gentleman to Spain, us our envoy, was 'ominous to all those who recollected his late conduct at Naples ; and it is in Spain also that the greatest part of the Neapolitan exiles have taken refuge. How then can he in- Spire confidence in the Spanish Constitutionalists, VrtioSt present predicament resembles that of 1 5kples, when threatened by Austria ? The crisis draws, near, and Ministers have a lee,avy responsibility on their shoulders. If the IFrenrif should carry their threats , into execution, a f tsti Ministers mutat satisfy,the country that the Most...strenuous exertions have been made by them to prevent the war, they will be answerable for COMPtoonces which naturally must, one way or other, involve us. It is in vain to set up the li?eciou 4 Plea that Portugal is not in danger, be. " 3 " she is not mentioned in the Verona Decla rations, or the French King's Speech. The. Por tuguese have declared that the attack is directly levelled against them, from , the momenta Bour bon army crosses the Pyrenees, and orders have beetesent to Paris for their Envoy to withdraw the moment that occurrence takes place.—The tri'nwais of Ministers induce the public to believe that the door to peace is not yet shut; this then is the time forour exertions. The manner in which the French Government pauses and hesitates, Lateral . ' its bullying language, chews the strong impression that might be made upon it, were Government hearty in opposing the war, condeni 6d. as it is by the general voice of the country. The moral influence we could wield, at the present moment, the Cabinet of the Thuilleries could not possibly. 'withstand ; and is it not better to use ,this moral influence now, than our physical resources after wards,, to an extent it would be impossible to calculate ? It is on this subject we think some satisfaction ought to be given to the country, beyond the vague answers drawn from. Ministers %ince the opening of Parliament. We do not profess to know what private assurances have been given by Ministers to particular Members °tithe Opposition; but we can see no meaning in those which are publicly given, and should be at les,!o vote weiten d how any reliance could safely be plowed on shell vague declarations.—(Mid.)

After some debate the motion was nega tived by e minority of 7i. to 25. S N OW TlstEs. ) We have hear some well-meaning people re gret that such books al these of O'llte,ara and 'Las Cants should be circulated, replete, as they consider . them to be, with misrepresentations and errors of a prejudicial kind. We own we appre. bend little danger from this source. The curio sity of mankind in general leads them no doubt to swallow with avidity much nonsense and falsehood ; hut it a short time reflection takes its turn t men begin to compare, to detect ;neon aistepciat and' contradictions, tant:. reject With coutempt what they at first admired... As to the particular Works in question,either they are cor red or incorrect. If -Correct, in Heaven's name 114 thn truth prevail ; but if incorrect, they will Datong withstand the probeof the examiner. A soften . Catisi. (is we observed on the Queen's trial) . can't stand cross-examination—especially where the testimony of two or three witnesses is to be sifted, and compered together throughout its parts. We recommend - to , the curious in such iniviriei to trace the discrepancies between 144. g Cn'.a and O'Meara, which are amusing enough. [Trig TIMES.] We liaVO received by an egpresq from Paris the journals - of Tuesday, captaining the important ilebite of aooday last, in the Chamber of Depu -oa---. debate, bovvi!, , ver, which appears to have' been eiosed for want of a sufficient Muse'. No vote cOP4e'3tiently was taken. Still the senti ments of itut speakers areimportapt, though their . tenaur brings us (as old Northumberlaturs fears talllanticipated the death of 'his son Harry Percy) fo 'The vonclusion of war. Were nothing further, therefore, than this; debate to be otpecte!d—were tia communication to be received from M. de Chateanbriand-4fte die might be considered as cast ; and even - : swere not, the itch' for des-1 perate gambling, of the party which - unhappily seems to predominate, is so obvious, and the recall of their , stake so diPictilt, that it were alnlost as well the game shonid beg: s. The speech of M. de VilMe is the only one worth Hoticlng and that, not-for the cogency of the or gurrient, but the authority of the . Speaker. Ftanco (he says). unist . go'to war, because Spain is not in A condition roniistent with' the iwuour stuil security of her neiglibbor. if the lionoar of France could be in any: way affected by the , po. altion of.SPaini, the operation would be honekcial by, the contrast bettvoen A tranquil' audit - per turbed state : and as "to security, it is an odd Method of escaping cOntagion . , enter the cell of the infected person and-'there grapple with Lim ; gore qui ((mac, we think, should be the. Maxim. The Minister says further, that had 1 it been possible to have avoided war t be should have done it ' • he bad tried every thing to preserve peace. What has he tried ? What has he done to preserve peace ? Has he prac tised the most natural course of avoiding war not making it himself ? Does he, or can be, state the slightest aggression upon France by the country which he is now going to invade, and the inhabitants of which he is about to massacre.? It is pretended, he says, that France wished to impose her Charter on Spain. Who pretended so? On the contrary, we suspect, were Spain once conquered, the Charter would-not last long even in France. It is the destruction of the French Charter—the destruction of every sem blance of freedom in France—that is sought by this wicked attempt to destroy the rising liberties of Spain. And then the orator asks, 44 Who can say that institutions which suit us will equally suit anther nation ?" If so, why impose institu tions on Spain ? Or, not actually imposing insti tutions, why prescribe negatively—why interpose or meddle in her concerns.? [BRITISH" PRESS.] War appears to be definitively decided on, and it is expected the French troops will enter Spain► forthwith ; and does M. do Vill6le think that he and his Colleagues will be able . to confine that war within► any circle they may mark out ? Do they imagine that when the blazing torch is once lit that they can limit the conflagration to any extent they please? As well might they attempt to bind the burning faggot with a hand of flax as to set bounds to that contest they have madly created, and which must and will be general.— Can the French Cabinet imagine that England will look tamely on and see Spain, whom she re deemed before, sin►king in the struggle, and the independence of I'ortu►gal, her ancient , ally, endangered, merely to gratify the overbearing ambition of Russia, and the fanaticism of a faction in France ? She cannot, and will not, do so; and war once commenced, where will its fiery wave be staid ? Every possible measure of defence has been adopted in Spain. —The public mind at Figueras was excited by the reports or war into the highest degree of fermentation ; every thing was going vigorously forward on the frontier, in preparing for a ter rible war. The General has given orders to or ganise all the French who present themselves, and to give them the same high pay as the Mi quelets. The forts also continue to be largely provisioned, and the recruits who arrived to com plete the regiments of Leon have been clothed and armed. [MOnNING HERALD.] Accounts of Monday's date were received yes. terday from Paris. An interesting debate took place on that day in the Chamber of Deputies. , f t turned upon the proposed grant of 100 millions (francs) for extraordinary servises, but the grf:Ti:" question was the invasion of Spain. The speeches throw some light upon the matter. M. Royer Collard,' one of the party called " doctrinaires" or intermediate monarchists between the Liberals unl Ultras, spoke forcibly against the tn• " The entire nation," said he, " would voluntarily march and combat for a cause which would be her own, but she feels that in this she would fight against her interests, and that every victory which might be obtained would be against herAelf.—(Cries of c Bravo' from the left. t Silence' on the right)" This is the strong principle of rational resistance to the war among the French. It is felt by all those whose power,. property, rights, and estimation, 'depend upon the inviolability of the revolt]• tionary interests, as, protected by the French Charter, that the effecting of a Counter revolution in Spain would be an important out post gained towards effecting a counter-revolu tion in France. This design was obvious from the beginning, and we have remarked upon it long since. it is but lately that that the French Journals have ventured to touch upon it—and not until It was, spoken in the French Chamber of. DePAties. The speech of the next orator was more intOesting and,curious. it was M. de► la Bour. definer), a violent Ultra, who again taunted the Minister bitterly for his backwardness in vading Spain. He described himself RS in a state of lamentable perpletity—between his de. sire to agree to the demand of the King's Go vernment, and his conviction that the Minister was unworthy of his confidence, and secretly tin. willing to enguge in the wet. lie says the Mini. ster was still, at the moment when he spoke, negociating for a compromise with the Spanish Itevoktti on.

And in what consists thei depth of the second ? ' In. suppOsi that mankind must always conti nue stationary; and that there is no difference between an age of darkness and stiperstition and an age of light and know.. ledge. They significantly tell us that ," what has been may bee' and have greet compassion for' the stollity of those who, while they acknowledge the truth of the maxim, are slow to apprehendthe Wisdom of its aopli cat i on : although they them selves could scarce forbear eroding at the folly of the physi cian who should be invariably and mechanically guided by the same rule, and. prescribe according to precedent, with out reference to the age of his patient, or to the change which time alone, without the operation of any other cause, is KUM dent to make in his constitution. This is precisely what they do: While the Statesman endeavours to discriminate between the two periods of society, and tO, separate what is common from what is peculiar to them, an d thus, in some measure, to ascertain the march of the human mind, and the general ad vance of human nature they ate resolved upon identifying them by marks almost as vague, and ind e fi n i te as t h ose w hi c h setts. fled Flewellen of the close resemblance between Monmouth and Macedon,, namely, " that there Was a river in Monmouth, and a river in Macedon, and that there were, moreover, salmon in both." They use the crude enumeration of facts, which passes current for a knowledge of history, when the World was younger, , in order to regulate th e po li t i cs of th e W or ld w h en older. '1 hey reverse the principle which should never be lost .sight of by the real Statestnsn, and legislate for times past in. stead of legislating for posterity. This is even more ridiculous than the conduct of " his Father," in 7'ristram Shandy, who was so exceedingly anxious about the education of his son, that he wrote a regular and laborious treatise to shew how each year of it should be conducted, but unfortunately• the year had al ways elapsed before the treatise was compleated, so that unless the order of providence could be reversed, and the child grow, younger instead of growilolder ; he had nu chance of bene fiting by this sing e e rt of parental- anxiety for his im provement. But while the opponents of emancipation are thus sharp-sighted to perceive dangers that are invisible to all other eyes it is amazing how blind they are to those the di s co v ery of which requires no such uncommon discernment. Have they narrowly examined the signs of the times. Or has puritanism been so successful in concealing itself under sheeps clothing, that they suffer it even to enter the fold, without the remotest suspicion of its intention,? noel the. insecurity of our esta blishment at the present day arise from its being so little popish 1 Whether: sit its conformity or its nonconformity to the doctrines and usages of pious and venerable antiquity, that is likely to prove the greater stumbling-block : without all doubt it is its settled faith, its sober piety, the decent order of its ceremonies, the apostolical derivation of its hierarchy, its connection with the state, its existence, in short, as an esta blished Church, these are what give offence to most of its open and many of its secret enemies. , These are what are considered as the marks of the beast. It is the hostility of those who con. sider it as yet too little reformed and purified, not of those who =shier it too much se, that it has now to dread. And therefore it is that the. folly of those who are vociferating in our ears the dangers of Popery, be comes miseheyous. They are raising the cry of " the wolf" in the wrong direction. While they attract the attention of the nation to a quarter whence there is no danger, they draw it from a quarter whence there is every danger. They are spend ing their zeal. and their ammunition upon an Imaginary enemy, and raisinsuch a noise and smoke about themselves as prevents them front perceiving the anproach of the . real enemy, who fi nds hie most effectuel auxiliary in their foolish and ridiculous apprehensions. If, which heaven forefend, the country be again destined to behold the downfall of our national establishment, that melan., choly event, so devoutly to he deprecated, will not surely be owing to a superstitious reverence for what is venerable for its antiquity, but to a sacreligious intolerance of all that time has rendered sacred. It is not by a passion for the fantastical fooleries of Popery that our Church can be pushed from it strong foundations. It is only when Swilled by the wild and wasteful ocean of fanatictem, that it can be said to be in danger. Ifpnritanism be again suf fered to open the flpoti a gatee of the Heavens, and to break up the foundations of the great deep, for the purpose of bringing another deluge of moral and political extravagance upon the world s?, " then let them that arc in Judea flee into the moun. tains.. Woe betide the Church .of England. It will no longer be that "fair and goodly city, seated upon a hill, and that cannot be hid. A speedy and overwhelming destruction will come upon it."

While she continues efficiently iv perform the functions aeeigned her by providence we may confidently hope that she will be prin. tecttel both from her open and,her secret enemies. It is only when " the salt of the e art h has lo s t its savour" that " it will he cast out and trodden wider the feet , of men." Itit only where the carcass is that the eagles willbe gathered together: Would to Clods that all those who 'intend to a regard for our establishment would- thus contribute to its security, by. doing all that in them lies to augment its efficiency, and to extend its usefulness.

By such ungenerous conduct they not only do the excluded sect great wrong, but the Established Church great injustice; which only requires to be fully and fairly exhibited to the world, in order to win for itself an al most universal admiration. Nor is there a part of the world in Which. ' under more advantageous circumstances, its excellency would be mote readily felt and acknowledged than in Ireland. Although, until very lately, the business of education was not taken up in that country with any spirit or alacrity, and al though 'little has as yet been donereotnoared with the wants of the people, yet it is notorious that the influence of the Roman Catholic prleithood le decidedly on the wane.

The Court opened at ten o'clock this morning, and immediately proceeded to Business. Dr. BANN:HEAD'S examination resumed by Mr. Tur.x.— lleard.Lady Portsmouth say, that if his Lordship should live with her again, neither Mr. Alder, nor any member of the Ilan son family, should enter the house again without his Lordship's concurrence; considered himself in connection with his Lord ship's family merely as a medical practitioner; delivered a letter from her Ladyship to Lord Portsmouth; also a list of witnesses from Mr. France ; was not aware that his profession excluded him from a right of action as a man and a gentleman ; has often had his attention called to insane patients ; it was not very common in ordinary cases of insanity to question the pa dent upon the subject or subjects with respect to which they are deranged in their minds I did not consider his Lordship as deranged on any one point; formed his judgment or his Lord ship's state of mind from the actual examination of his Lord ship, coupled with a perusal of the facts contained in the va arious affidavits put into his hands by order of the Lord Chan cellor; conceives sanity of mind to be the power of the mind to combine facts and circumstances, and the ability afterwards to discriminate and draw correct conclusions ; having abstained from examining. Lord .Portsmouth oalpa.rticular subjects, thinks himself competent to say positively, that Lord Portsmouth's mind is perfectly sound ; there Is a material distinction between mind and judgment; conceives the mind to be the whole; judgment is one of the propeTties of the mind ; perception, me mory, and instinct, are some other of the properties, which are , •very numerous. Mr. Commissioner Hu LLOCK -ThiS is a dissertation, not an Examination continued—Does not think more frequent op portunities of seeing his Lordship world lead him to a conchs, sion different from that he has now formed. By Mr. G. IlaNKES.—Used the letter from the Countess u an introduction to his Lordship : when he first called upon Lord Portsmouth, he tendered the letter—his Lordship re fused to take it, and also to receive witness in his professional capacity the second time witness called upon Lord Ports. mouth his Lordsitip was in a better humour ; witness then again tentieeed the letter. Why did. you again offer the letter to his Lordship P—Be cause it was addressed to his Lordship ; and, as I thought, meant to be forwarded to its destination. Why should I not? Mr. Commissioner Hu t.Locx—That is a question, not an answer. Examination con tinued.—Witness did not question his Lord ship as to funerals, dung-carts, logs of wood, or any of the other subjects alleged to have been those in re f erence to w hi c h his Lordship had shown so great eccentricity. His L or d s hip' s conduct in this react evinced an unsoundness of the 4utig. neent, which is the f oundation-atone of the mind : if the judg ment be unsound, the mind cannot. be perfectly sound : a sound judgment would draw correct inferences from obvious facts, and discriminate between right or wrong : if, not being under the influence of feelings, motives, prejudices, or misre presentations, a man of his Lordship's income should declare his ignorance upon the extent of his property, whether it be worth 1001.. or 20,0004 annually, should conceive him to be of unsound mind': he might declare such ignorance, yet not be really uninformed upon the subject; if he really thought as he said, he could not have any Mind. His Lordship might wish cunningly to forward the present,Conunission of lamacy, and as emotive of policy he might exhibit, or wish to exhibit, a cer tain degree of unsoundness of rand.

Q. Suppose, Sir, 'a Nobleman is married, his wife makes it a rule of - her conduct to carry a horse-whip about her, to keep one in her bed-room, to apply it occasionally by of that tisement—she coolly witnesses the daily insult and ill treat ment of her husband—she introduces an adulterer into her fa mily.--she practices a refinement of cruelty (which I hope is 'without a parallel) by sending her husband to fetch this adul terer to her bed, and witnesses, nay more, encourages a barba rity of conduct and treatment from this adulterer to her hus band--suppose this case, and further, that. the husband on no 'one occasion resists, opposes, or complains of this depraved and unexampled conduct, what would be your opinion of the torn :potency of this husband to manage }cis own affairs,- and super intend the expenditure of his money, and the dispose] of his property,?-4ki.

Q. Suppose this case to be merely hypothetical, and' that it be related by. the husband himself to a jury sworn to try the sanity of his mind—what would then be your opinion of him P —A. I should think such a man very wicked,-addicted to falsehood—and who was desirous of getting rid of his wife. Att.' flatlet —Then I have done. By :Mr. NOEL.-...Believes his Lordship to be of sound mind, 'competent to -form a correct perception, and to arrive at a probable conclusion—this would,be an act ofthe judgment. Robert Long, an ironmonger and bell-hanger at Basing stoke, gave evidence as to his, having .furoiAed articles for his Lordship's house at Ilurstbourn in 1814, when his Lord- Ship's conduct was as regular and proper as that, of any, other gentleman. Thomas Davidson, a corn-chandler, gave similar testimony. His Lordship always made • very. reasonable remarks on the price of hay and corn. Cross-examined by Mr. WETUERELL—The draft which his Lordship signed was previously filled up by her Ladyship, who gave it to witness to take tOlsord-PortsmoUth for his sig. nature.
