Tlih' LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts Pram the Morning Papers, August 27. [Tai -TnuEs.] The Moniteur, and other Paris Journals, of Sunday last, contain no intelligence of import ance, except that it appears that the French have been disappointed as to the result of ano ther act of military treachery. According to a letter from Perpignan, Manse, in deserting to The enemy, has been able to carry with him only 41 men and his own clisgrace. On the 6th; at Venkell, hi signed his submission, and it was forwarded to Moncey. On the 7th he stilt flat tered himself that.he would be able to sedu.ce the whole of his division, but a violent commotion having taken place in his camp, and Milins being on his march to Vendrell with a strong detach. ment, the traitor, to avoid being arrested, fled in all haste with his few wretched adherents. It must be owned, however, that this discovery of treachery among the troops under Mina in Cata lonia, hitherto so zealous in their resistance to the French, is sufficiently discouraging to the Constitutional cause. Intelligence by express was received yester day from Madrid of the 18th inst. by an eminent mercantile house in the city, that the Duke of Angoule►me arrived at Port St. Mary's on the 16th, and that immediately on his arrival a flag of truce was sent into Cadiz, with propositions for a negotiation with the Cortes. The intelli gence proceeds to state, that that assembly de clined receiving any such propositions, unless the French Generalissimo was authorized to unite with them a proffer of the mediation of England between the negotiating parties. No hint is given whether the treaty was proposed with the Cortes as the representatives of the Spanish nation, or as a prelude to that " personal capitulation" lately defined by the Journal des IMbals. The Intelligence must, therefore, be received with some degree of distrust, but may be allowed, perhaps, to establish one important point at least —that the first offers of negotiation have pro ceeded from the French General—a confession, so far, of the difficulties of his situation.—(kid.) In the Cadiz Papers, from which extracts were given in our last, we find an important decree issued by the King (see another column of THE Sup), in consequence of the address presented by cer tain Grandees of Spain to the Duke -of Angou leme. Those who were base enough to sign that deed of infamy, are declared traitors, deprived of, their titles, offices, and emoluments, and their property is ordered to be sequestrated. The penalties, however, do not extend to the children or heirs of the traitorous Grandees, if they prove themselves faithful to the Constitution.--(Aid) [MORNING POST.] 'rhe French Papers which arrived last night' brought neither Military nor political intelligence of any kind, but speculations in abundance. The deClaration of the Journal des Delials that the Ministers would "never treat with the Cortes as a political Body," coming as it did after an assurance given by the same Publication, that the Duke of Angouleme was going to Port St. Mary's " for the purpose of listening to proposals of accommodation," had created much surprise and some alarm. It was suppoSed that something had occurred to interrupt the regu lir course of the negociatipns, and that the sudden Change of opinion on the partof the Mi aiterial Paper, was occasioned by the knowledge that their object had failed, and by the wish of making it appear that the rupture proceeded from the pleasure of France, and not from the un bending resolution of the Constitutionalists, This was only . a thrmige, but it certainly, derives some probability from • the political vacillations lately displayed by the Journal in question. " Yester dayt" says the Constitullonnel, adverting to the conduct Of that Paper, " it welcomed every idea of conciliation, every ward of pence : to-day the pOlitiCians of the Treasury repel them, and vow that they will never capitulate with Revolution ists, nor treat With the Cortes as a Political Body. What does so sudden a change' signify ? Has all hope of conciliation vanished.away ? Or have the WO with Whom it is so formally declared that tie treaty is to be made, taken. the initiative in so vigorous a resolution ? = is it the announcement of an approaching triumph which is prepared, or the mortification of a refusal which it attempt ed to disguise.?" All doubts respecting the au thenticity of the Decree issued by the Duke of Angouleme at Andujar are now removed. It has appeared, and been made the . .subject of obser vation in the Ministerial and Ultra journals, both of 'which endeavour to convince ,the public that it is a proof Of the existence instead of the absende j Of o a : , od understanding between • the Prince Generalissimo and' the 'Madrid Regency, be cause it was followed on the part of the latter by a measure calculated to give it effect! Now this very circumstance appears to us confirmatory of the reported differences. Had the Royal Duke and the .Regeney acted in concert, both measures would have been simultaneous. But the Decree was issued on the Eighth of August s and it was not till the Sixteenth that the Ordi nance of the Regency was published in the Ma drid Gezette; The intermediate tune is sup poSed, and with much likelihood, to have been spent in resistance on the Tina of that. Body; and if it yielded at last, it is hinted to have been less throng!) the persuasions than through. the me naces of the Prince Generalissimo. [NEW TIMES.] There was not a rumour yesterday on the Stock Exchanchage, and consequently no variation in• the Funds. Consols remained the whole day at Be4i. Little business was done in the Foreign Funds, and they continue at their Ammer prices, with the exception of Pojjais Boras, which have fallen from about 17 to 101, owing to the conCradictory , statements respecting the terri tories of " His Poyaisian Highness." Not long' since a Gentleman made oath that all the Poyaisian settlers were quite happy : it is now stated that they have all been reduced to the greatest misery. The accounts differ almost as much as those of the Spanish Yinatices did a twelvemonth ago ; but so much money will not be lost on Poyais Bonds as on Spanish Bonds, because so many dupes were -net found in the first instance to buy them. We yesterday re ceived Letters and Papers from Paris to Sunday evening. Of course they contain no price of the Itentes; nor indeed are they marked by any particular feature of novelty. The latest accounts from Catalonia merely state that' Baron d'Eroles and General Tromelin are in full pur suit of Milans, who seemed anxious to regain his former position at Mout Blanc. His expedition in Upper Catalonia appears to have been under taken with a view to relieve the fortress of Ur ("el in which he has failed : and his sole object now is to escape his pursuers. The credulity of The Courier continues to furnish matter of merri ment to the French Journalists. One of them asks whether he supposes Port St. Mary's is in the line of retreat from Madrid to the Ebro. An other observes that The Courier dreams of nothing but misunderstandings, and converts into a proof of disagreement between the Duke of Angou leme and the Regency the very steps that they take by mutual consent in pursuit of their com mon object, the tranquillity of Spain. These Papers state that the Grand Duke of Saxe Wei mar has adopted measures of some political libe rality toward the Jews, by admitting them, hi many respects, to the rights of citizenship in his States ; but amongst these, regulations are some which still savour of ancient prejudice. Thus, in a family of Jews devoted to trade, only one of the sons is allowed to marry 1 What sort of life does the Legislator suppose the other sons are to lead ? [RRITISII PRESS.] Sunday's French papers reached our office yesterday ; they are almost utterly barren of any intelligence. The Etoile states, in an article 'from Vich of the 17th, that Milans had not re nounced his plan of raising the siege of Seu d'Urgel, and that he appeared to be marching on Salsona for that purpose. The French, under Tromelin and d'Eroles, suffered, it appears, most severely in the late encounter with this able leader and his distinguished colleague Llobera, and have since done nothing to impede their march. The annunciation of the abandonment of Hos talrich by the Constitutionalists, appears, as we anticipated, to be utterly unfounded. Accounts from Perpignan to the 16th state, that three days before, the French officer who blockaded Hos talrich requested an interview with the Spanish Governor, which was granted. At this meeting propositions were made to the Constitutional Governor to capitulate ; as his most decisive an swer, the Governor prevailed on the French Commandant to see his magazines. He was accordingly introduced into the fort, and the large supplies of every sort the place contained shewn to him. The next day the garrison made a sortie on the besiegers,the result of which was not known on the 16th at Perpig nan. A guerilla corps, on the 13th, from three to four hundred men, caine down from the moon tains, and matched. on Saint Felin-de-Guixols, and there raised a contribution of four thousand five hundred francs. it is further stated from Perpignan, that several individuals have been arrested at Barcelona, that they fled to Bade lona, and were there again taken and conducted to the prisons of Mater°. These individuals are stated to have been lately not only warm Cons& tutionalists, but of the party of Spanish Car bonari. Mystery yet hangs over the cause of their secession, whether proceeding from a violent schism between the Carbonari and Communeros,or that French gold and diplomacy have found their silent way even into Barcelona. Corruption has been the decisive weapon of the French during the Spanish campaign, and that which has suc ceeded best. It appears clear that discord has been dividing the French army in that province,i and long reigning in its camp. Donnadieu, it is known, finding his letters to Paris unsuccessful, and Moncey still retained in command of the army of Catalonia, suddenly resigned his command, and left the army. Military honours, it appears, were shewn him on his passage through Perpignan, and sentinels placed at his door. Ecquevilliers, the Lieutenant " du Roi" at Perpignan, was sub sequently placed under arrest by General Rot tembourg, commandant of the division, charged with a breach of his duty, in paying military ho nours to Donnadieu, who, without command, was not then entitled to receive any. The influence of the Ultras seems for the moment to have de clined in France. Donnadieu's defeated intrigues prove that to be the case. Nothing whatever of any interest is stated from Cadiz ; a. few days must disclose, the fate of any negociations that may be pending there. Notwithstanding,the al most decisive defection of Morillo and Ballas teros, and the coming over of these two degraded traitors, the French have latterly gained no ground whatever; they are passive and powerless before Cadiz, and Catalonia is their grave. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Information, dated in Rio de Janeiro, on the Ist July, states, that on the 13th June the Bri tish merchant ship the John and Thomas had ar rived there, under circumstances which shew the great disadvantages to which British commerce is subjected by the, want of diplomatic Agents in the new States of America. During a former voyage, this vessel, ignorant of the Brazilian blockade of Bahia, had carried into that place a few articles of merchandize, and there loaded a general cargo belonging to different establishments, for Rio. The Captain, on his previous voyage, received no warning nor no tice of the blockade, and consequently he had not violated any of the acknowledged laws of nations, Lord Cochrane, however, fell in with this ship on her voyage, and under the pretext of a previous breach of blockade, he thought proper to take the Captain, crew, and passengers out of her, and having supplied her with seamen from his own ship, he sent her forward to Rio, and at the latest advices attempts were snaking to get her condemned, for this pretended breach of the laws of nations. What makes the case more extraordinary is, that a Military Council was trying the validity of this naval capture. There is not, however, any authorised British agent in any of, the new American States to claim property unjustly detained, or to protect British subjects from Injury and spoliation, nor is it likely that his Majesty's present Minis ters will ever consider the free trade of his sub jects of the slightest importance, if modern legitimacy be interested in its suppression. From Paris no information was received yesterday, and the Feast of St. Louis may therefore be con cluded to have passed over without the commu nication of any public event to the volatile sub• jects of his. Most Christian Majesty. At Calais nothing new from Spain was known last night, but the idea of a speedy termination of the war was very prevalent. The principles of the French Ministers must, however, be different to those circulated 'in the Journal des Debals, before an event so desired by France can be accom plished ; for The Spanish Cortes may as soon submit their heads to the block, as permit the beloved Ferdinand the enjoyment of the uncon• trouled use of his sovereign pleasure and legi timate will. [MORNING HERALD.] 'We last night received the following letters from our Madrid Correspondent : MADRID, AUG. 8, 1823.—The action between the French and Ballasteros, in the neighbourhood of Jaen and Granada, was far from being so destructive as was' trumpeted about be forehand, but the result to which it has led has been important indeed, and has very much surprised us here in Madrid. In the action alluded to the French only boasted of having killed 4or NO men and taking prisoners 300. Late last night was published an Extraordinary Gazette of his surrender with the whole of his force, between 9 and 10,000 men, to the French General Molitor, in Granada, and this morning the treaty it self has been printed. By the 2d article he is obliged to order all other Generals and Governors of blockaded places under his command to surrender in like manner and acknowledge the Regency. Two of them, l%lonzon and Venasque, capitulated lately, and we shall now see what effect it will produce on San Sebastian and Pampeluna, Penas de San Pedro, Carthagena, Alicant, and Peniscala. The Constitutionalists are very much enraged, and attribute it to treachery. From Ballasteros' known prudence, and his decided adhesion to the Constitution; it was thought he would for a long time have baffled and occupied Molitor, and prevented him from co-operating with the besieg ing army of Cadiz, although it was not doubted thit in the end he would have been worn out, and obliged to yield to superior tactics, and the manifested disposition of the country against him. There is no account yet of the surrender of Zayas, but he may be said to be reduced to a nullity—fifteen hundred of his men whom he had left to protect Granada till the entrance of the French, as had been agreed upon, passed over to the Royal.. ist side—Chief, officers; and men. By accounts from Cadiz great con fiden ce was pla c ed in the two Generals Balloter°, and Zayas being able to attack the rear of the besiegers with sufficient effect, so as to compel theta to raise the siege. The whole of Andalusia,. is now free to the, French and Royalist troops. From Seville the only news is, , that great preparations were , making there to yeceive the Duke d'Artgou. lame. s The Members of the Ayuntarnicnto would be contd.. derably out of pocket by it, its the city funds were extremely low, and heavy calls were making on them for equipment of troops, &e. We have nothing from Catalonia nor from Estraniadura.—:.. The Empeciniuio is said to be shut up in Ciudad Rodrigo, and Qoneral O'Donnell was preparing to leave Valadolid to un dertake the siege of it. . , . • The French are yet before Corunna waiting the heavy ord nance from Ferrol. Morino had been tricked by the regiment of Arragon passing over to him, and being furnished with what necessaries could be given to it, passing back again. One turn deserves another ; like enough on. Morillo's approach to Vigo. the regiment will return to him. • In Bilbao they were quieter than before— , the French disci. pline being admirable. The Prince Ilohenlohe hid entertain ed the whole of the authorities to dinner on the 30th July, and the next day went to I'ortugalete, where he embarked for Laredo, fronting Santona, to inspect the operations of the siege. The Custom-house had beat removed to ()fauna and Vitto ria, as formerly, which had given great joy to the inhabitants of Biscay, Alava, and' Ouipuzcoa, those provinces, being free for the admission of all goods and merchandixes, which are ad • 'milted to pay duties in other parts of Spain. Vast numbers, of persons of property had left Bilbao, in consequence rents had fallen very considerably, and , in one street alone there were 25 habitations to let. • The release of the imprisoned for opinions which was re ported would take place m Madrid, has not yet been effect ed. It is mentioned that several notes have passed between the Regency and the Duke de Reggio on the subject ; but neither in the offices of the .Ayuntiimiento, or of the Superintendent of the Police, or of the Minister of Grace .and Justice, do they know of any 'such measure being n contemplation. At present, therefore, this question must be confined to the Regency and the Duke de Reggio, or else the rumour is without any foundation. - Besides the Superin tendent of Policedoes not abate in the least his vigilance in . the pursuit of the Constitutionalists, termed " Negros." Tim arrests go on as as before, and the houses of the individuals scrupulously searched, both of the present as well as the ab. sent. In the house of N. Narganes (now at Cadiz), one of the editors of the Universal newspaper, 6,000 dollars have been discovered concealed under the floor, and they say they have the scent of several more concealments of a like nature of per sons in Cadiz. - Every inducement is held out for denunciation of individuals and property, and such is the depravation of all classes, that nine out of ten who have placed confidence in their supposed friends and servants, have reason to repent it. The letter take the reward, and the former, in their memorials for employments, blaze forth their treachery, as a meritorious piece of service to their country, and l ove to their Ring. The ten district s , i nto w hich Madrid is divided, are each to be furnished with a Commissary of Police, who will take cog nizance of every house and person in it ; the same system of espionage will exist h ere as in Paris; but whether to stand in place of , the Inquisition, or to go hand in hand with it, time blishment imtnediate for the re.esta cwinalgy3hm: and ion frian g r i epresentation has come up from Burgos from the Antarpiento the members of which are nearly all calling g t by its wisdom, viSilanee, and gentleness, the church of Spain may be cleansed or all impurityy, y to ot the the u ßeg ely en o cn mee ca , l -mpurity, se c . s ce . i t a lso contains a phillipte against the adoption of Cb h a/L'erl •; the Ayuntarniento and all. loyal Spa. niards desire th at the Regency will oppose with firmness and dignity every _pretension to Chambers and all other fundamental innovations. The Duke del Infanta& is by no means bigotted, and will not l en d a hand to the I nqu i s ition, Lftit the Bishop of Ostna may p ro b a bl y carry the votes aga inst him, or all that the Duke will p er h aps be able to e ff ect , w ill be to let the matter rest till the r e t urn of the King. At present th e property of troul of the 'Director of the Credito Public° . This o ff ice has 'the Toquisition is unde r t he con . only been re-established three days ago, and possesses already its fifty or sixty clerks, and including porters a nd ot he r depen . dents, perhaps near a hundred. The purification on trial of all those who have enjoyed place under the Constitutional Government goes on with Much rigour; all who did not serve before are of course dismissed, and are likely never to serve again. Those against whom it is proved that they have officially aided and promoted the Constitution are likewise dismissed, and only those are retained who ar e . found to have quietly, or, as it were, by mere sufferance, hel d . their places during that time. Officers who have turned over from the Constitutionalists when • they saw the thing going down, must likewise pass this ordeal, previous to holding Com missions. Every Royalist volunteer must likewise prove him self undefiled by the Constitution. For the Royalist volunteer militia now raising for Madrid, 500 are already accepted ; about 300 remain for examination.. Among the whole number, five were found out to have served in the Corrstitutional these were immediately turned about their buness. Thus in every department every, yestige of the Cohstitution is being erased, and the unfortunate addicted to the system will be marked men.. These must return to their_ homes, subtract themselves from political I matters, and quietly pursue some in dustrious occupation. f they were a aghting, united people, what elements for a revolution atX future time ! _ A person who left Corunna on the 22d ult. and was in the action of the 15th, assures me the French lost at least 1,500 men. At Betanzas and Fermi they have upwards of 600 wounded; the fight was sustained by the volunteer militiamen of, Biscay and Galicia. The troops of the line (1,500) refused to- turn out till past the middle of the action, and have declared they will not go out again. Of the volunteer militia, there re main about 1,000, many having left it after the action—being volunteers they cannot be kept against their will, but they are obliged to pay 20 dollars for a passport, which not many can afford to do. It is supposed the place will surrender by capitulation, as soon as the surrender of Ballasteros is known. Sir Robert Wilson had left by sea for Vigo, taking with him 20 of the Biscay volunteers. 'He said he expected the arrival of some English, with whom he would meet Morillo. Ile and his Aid-de-Camp behaved very gallantly in the above-cited action, both being wounded at the head of the advanced posts. The Governor, Mendez Vigo, had behaved extremely well, and was most indefatigable in his duties. Quiroga was not in the action, and is quite despised. They say lie has not talents for a Captain of infantry, and is quite ridiculous in his si tuation. _ _ MADRID, Auo. 9.—This morning, at about half.past nine, the ringing of the church and convent bells, and the quick mo tion of the people in the streets, indicated the occurrence of some joyful event. I was not long in suspense, information being soon after brought me that the market women in the neigh bourhood were all' in an uproar, they had tossed their eggs in the air, and turned topsy-turvy their fruit baskets, for pure joy that King was at liberty. 1 made haste to get out to learn the fact and particulars. I found every body busy in hanging the balconies with their draperies of silk, &c. ; the shops were shutting and the people assembling together. The first of my acquaintances that I met was the son of a Councillor of' State, who informed me that his father had just received a note from the French General Conde de Castex, conveying the satisfactory intelligence of the King being at liberty, and he was then going to the General's quarters for the details. On arriving at the Puerta del Sol every body was full of the news, shaking hands and embracing one another, all eager to hear and tell of how and when, and all the rest of it ; 'but all, and the only facts that I could gather were, that a French courier had brought dispatches from General Bordesoulle at Port St. Mary's to the Duke d'Angouleme, whom he met at La Carolina, who having read them, ordered him to make all speed to Paris, and in passing through Madrid to tell the Duke de Reggio that the King was at liberty. The courier arrived here at six, and immediately made the verbal communication to the Duke, who mentioned it to the Duke de Medina-Ceti, in whose house he resides, and then to various other grandees. Further, the same courier brought a letter to the post-master from his son, who is employed in the French post at head-quarters, contain. ing two lines only ; " The King is at liberty, the Cones dis persed ; no time for more at present." There could be no doubt about it, in a few hours an express will arrive with a full account to the Regency. At twelve, the Duke de Reggio proceeded to the palace, and acquainted the Minister of War with it. Meanwhile various groupes from• different parishes of men and women, arm in arm, paraded the streets with shouts of Viva el Roy ! Viva el Rey neto Viva el Rey absoluto. One party'had a very sig niflcant appendage, a bird cage on the top a pole, the door open, and the bird flown. In the afternoon an Extraordinary Ga zette was published, stating that the Director of the Posts at head-quarters had ordered the courier to give the intelligence to the Duke de Reggio that the King was at liberty; not a word othe Duke d'Angouleme, which diminishes very much from its importance ; at the same time a notice was fixed up at the corners of the streets with this news, and calling upon the people to maintain order and decency, and not to fire within the walls of the town, &c. _ During the evening sever a l considerable parties of men and women in their best have paraded about in procession with tambours, colours, &c., and stopping at intervals to dance with their castanets. The corregidor sent his constables to request t hey would repress their intemperate , joy till the news was better ascertained; but all in vain, they. would not listen to than. The illumination is general and spontaneous, but as yet (10 o'clock) nty confirmation has arrived. P.S. , —One thing should be observed, that in the assemblages of the populace during the time of the Cortes latterly money and wine were distributed amon them. Now there is nothing of the kind, the expression of t he people is gratis. Ido not say this invidiously it Is the fact. And. 10, (8 o'Clock in the Evening)...-No confirmation bar. yet arrived of the news of yesterday. If it should prove to be a hoax, it will have been as complete a one as the cork-boot man of Lisbon, of facetious memory. The people are very much disconcerted, and form a thousand conjectures, all equally extravagant. My opinion is, that it has originated in a mistake; the Cortes having debated whether they should' continue to sit (the Sessions being ended) as extra ordinary, the votes were against it, consequently they are dis solved, leaving the usual number of individuals as a permanent deputation, from which may have been inferred that they were dissolved in toto and the King at liberty. It is said, that i n a subsequent discussion it w a s debated whether the King should be restored to freedom, which wits carried in the affirmative, and that they were deliberating when and how it should take place, &C. I know of no data for this, and I think it some what absurd, for the Deputies would never consent to record in their acts that the King was a prisoner after his arrival in Cadiz. And again the Members would sooner take to their heels and leave the King to himself, than so gravely debate upon their own destruction. Perhaps some treaty may be going for ward which materially alters the case, and their debating upon the articles would then be perfectly regular. The only news from Andalusia is, that the treaty with Bal. lasteros was carrying into effect. From the LONDON GAZETTE, August 26. Whitehall, Aug. 22, 1823. The King has been pleased to appoint Alexander Earl of Caithness to be Lieutenant and Sheriff Principal of the shire of Caithness, in the room of the Earl of Caithness, deceased. BANKRUPTS. R.

ROw..STßEET.—Yesterday Silus Stephens, 'the driver of wagon, appeared on a summons, to answer for an, offence against an Act of Parliament, generally called Mr. Martin's Act, in wantonly and cruelly ill treating a horse. The complaint against the defendant was instanced by Mr. Martin himself, who it appears was driving in his gig through Covent-Garden, and saw the defendant, who had the charge of a team of horses, whipping one of them as he conceived in a cruel and unnecessary manner ; the defendant seemed infu riated, and the whipping was so violent that Mr. Martin heard the lashes before he came in sight of the cause of them. Mr. Martin's groom, who was with him in the chaise, corro• borated his master's statement as to cruel and unnecessary seve• rity with which the horse was beaten. The defence set up was, that the horse was wrung in the withers, and would not stand still. The defendant, who was unloading the cart, had got out twice to steady the horse, and, on its being restive a third time, got out and gave it several cuts with a whip, but in no respects answering the description given by Mr. M ar ti n . Th ey were inflicted with a view to make the horse stand still, and with moderation suitable to that pur. Pon. _ _ Mr. MINSIIULL said, that he thought the present case did not come within the Act, as the words expressed therein were, " Whoever shall wantonly and , cruelly beat, &c." Now it appeared that the punishment the horse had experienced was in under the idea of its being necessary ; and as there ins some reason to believe that it was necessary, the charge of the wanton infliction of the same must fall to the ground, and it would consequently not come within the meaning of the Act. The treatment of the horse was sworn to by the witnesses as cruel, and if the words in the Act had been wanton or cruel, instead of wanton and cruel, he should have felt no difficulty* but as it was, he thought a conviction could not be had. Mr. Martin, at considerable length, contended for a convieg tion, but Mr. Minshull said he was not authorised to convict under the circumstances. Mr. Martin seemed to lose all fintesrance at this decision,. and passionately exclaimed, " Time has been, that when the brains were out the man would die." Mr. MINSLIULL,in a very dignified manner, replied, "Never mind about my brains, Mr. Martin.

Bensley, printers in Bolt-court, and a bookseller named Cahuac, who resides in the Borough, were brought before L. B. ALLEN, Esq.; the former charged with having committed a robbery, and the latter with having knowingly purchased the stolen property. Messrs. Bensley have been for some tune engaged in printing " Dr. Lingard's History of England," for Mr. 3lawman of Ludgate-hill, and were to strike off 1000 copies. About 400 copies had been delivered to Mr. Mawman, when it reached the ears of Mr. Benjamin Bensley that copies were to be had at Cahuac's shop at 21. 10s. each, whereas the price at the trade sale was 31. Convinced that such a reduction in th e p r i ce o f , the work could not have been afibrded by any one who be came possessed of it in the usual manner Mr. Bensley caused an examination to be made in his premises with respect to that particular book, and soon learned that ten copies were missing ; and from certain circumstances, he judged that they must have been stolen by some person who had constant employment in the establishment. Beeman was, after some further Investigation into the circumstances of the robbery, taken into custody. He denied that he knew any thing about the plundered copies; but the evidence which follows was produced by Mr. Bensley to prove that he was the principal, and that Cahuac knowingly' purchased the stolen property. Mr, Bensley suspected that he must have been robbed to a considerable amount ; but he could not at present form an estimate, his business being so extensive' and diversified. Mr. Cooper, a resr.ctable bookseller at Whitefriars, stated that some days ago he purchased at Cahuac's shop in Black man-street six copies of" Lingard's History of England," at 21.105. a copy,, and gave to Cahuac a bill at four months for the whole sum, upon his promise that the six sets should be, delivered in due time. Five copies were only received by wit rest with a list of deficiencies in • witness's hand-writing, but the thhulmtttwhoreoefsettsheol them were very' imperfect, i k n e T t e . rfee c t, ah a ua n e d too of k co h u ne n k ein h ei e to Mr. Cahuac's shop, and mentioned to hint that they under-. Mr. Mawr:lan's clerk stated, that he and Mr. Bensley went stood he had been selling " Lingard's History of England" d mil e 7 ti rs ciencies were never supplied. considerably under the trade price. Cahuac replied that he had sold two copies; but upon being told that his dealing with Mr. Cooper about the six copies was no secret, he admitted that he had sold that number of copies to Mr. Cooper at the sum specified. Witness recollected that Caitlin had been present at Mr. Mawinan's trade sale; that he had made.no. purchase of " Lingard's History of England" there, and that he was acquainted with the trade price. Beusley caused the lodgings of Beeman to be searched by an officer, who in a short time put his hand upon the identi ca list of deficiencies of the History of England, which list Mr. I Cooper had delivered to Cahuac, and which it was presumed Cahuac had transmitted to Beeman for the purpose of having them corrected. Mr. Bensley stated, that in looking over Cahuac's shop he' found two Pronouncing Dictionaries, which had been printed by him, and he had no doubt were stolen from his premises. 31r. ANDREWS, who attended for Caltuac, asked Mr. Maw man's clerk whethe r h e cou ld swear that those copies which Mr. Cooper had purchased of Cahuac were not part of the 400 copies which had been sold at the trade sale ? The reply was, that he could not swear they were not part, of the 400 copies, but he presumed not. Mr. ANDREWS then contended that the evidence did not bring home the robbery to Beeman, and of course Celiac was not chargeable with any offence. Besides, there had been no proof of dealing between Cahuac and Beeman. Mr. ALLEN adjourned the case, which excited much inte rest amongst the trade, till to-morrow (this day). . __.
