SOLEM QUIS DICEILE FALSON AUDEAT LONDON, - WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 18 3. We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday, tnid have given extracts from them in our pre ceding columni. The Bulletin of Major-General I ILLiMINOT, of the 30th ult. reports a number of skirmishes in. which the French have been en- gaged iu various quarters with the Guerillas, who are thus at length acknowledged to be actively employed in harrassing the invaders. T he Major- G eneral of course claims the advantage in all these affairs ; but it is only necessary to recollect the total destruction with which MINA has been so o ft e u ofliciaity overwhelmed, and which more re cently annihilated the army of. Lorcz 13.0i0s in order to be convinced that the Spaniards could ,give a very different account of the exploits of their Guerillas. As an example of the utter dis tvgard, of truth which characterizes' the French accounts, we refer our Readers to an article, dated 4 ‘ Gerona, ,9.9 th June," the writer of %Welt has the effrontery to assert, that " No thing is doing in Catalonia," and that 44 there has -not been a- single action since the de. feat of MINA 1 ." The Spaniards, by the way, are guilty of a reprehensible negligence not publishing regular reports of their military operations, an dmission on their part which is of great advantage to the cause of their ene- mies. MINA very rarely communicates with the Government ; and of the proceedings of some of the other Commanders not a word has been heard since the entrance of the French into the Peninsula. Indeed, the French have the manufacture of intelligence uhnost entirely in their own hands, and are enabled to give nearly any colouring to the state of affairs that is likely to promote their views of unjust aggression.—LopEz BANos) it appears', as we yesterday anticipated, has actually lauded two thousand . l i ve hundred men at the port of Cadiz ; and so far were the French , from having had the power to destroy his corps, that before his embarkation he had sent off his cavalry to join the Fourth Army, with which their services would be more vats.- , able than within the Isle of Leon.—The Madrid accounts from Cadiz are to the 2ith ; and yet, so far are they from confirming the alleged disper sion of VILLA CAMPA'S Army, that, though they slate the deposition of that General from his command, because he had given cause to suspect his fidelity to the Constitutional Go vernment, they say nothing of the dispersion of his troops, nor of the alleged junction of a great portion of them with the French. Upon the whole, we see no rea§on to despair of the Spanish cause,. Many persons who know the Spaniards well,—who witnessed their conduct in the lest war for their independence, and who fought and struggled with them against the arms of BUONAPARTE, say t h at nothing has as • yet happened which was not to be expected, and that at the moment when they seem to be the most depressed, they will begin to astonish the world by their etter4y and petsever. ance. It requires the actual pressure of present suffering and present insult to rouse them from their natural indolence, but when once the neces. sity for exertion has been forced upon them, when once their hatred of foreigners has been fairly inflamed, and their pride stimulated to resist oppression and to seek for vengeance upon their oppressors, there is nothing which their obstinacy will not endure rather than yield to French domination. An Express from Paris this morning. is said to have brought the French Funds 89f. 46c. — Spanish, Mi.—There was no political news of any importance. We have trees ' favoured, from a very distill. guished quarter, with-the follwo in;; " Politica Dialogue." It is only necessary, in expressing our general concurrence in the reasoning of the writer of the Dialogue, which indeed is founded on the same views with those which we have un 'ormly taken of the Spanish question, to make a exception as to the assumed personal character of the Emperor ALEX AND ER, and as to the inferences which are drawn from that assumption. We have the best reasons for believing that the present Em peror of RUSSIA is wholly uninfluenced by nip tives of aggrandizement in the important part which he takes in the policy of Europe. Al. though the effects of the measures pursued by the Alliance of which his ImPerial Nlajesty is a I<•lTember, whatever may be the motives in which they have originated, are certainly prejudicial to the liberties and civilization of Mali. kind, and though It is equally true that there is a spirit in Russia which may, under another Sovereign, occasion serious dan- ger to the European system, 'yet ue are sa tisfied of the good intentions of the Emperor ALEXANDER, and of his unalterable resolution to resist every proposition for undertaking any war, whose object shall be the extension of his own dominions, or the increase of his power and influence on the Continent : " A POLITICAL DIALOGUE. - - Who has caused the war in Spain ?—The Holy Affiance. How has that Alliance produced it ?—By as sisting the. French Ultras to overthrow the mo derate Ministry of the Duke de Richelieu, and by fomenting discord in Spain to furnish a pre text for war. What is the Holy Alliance?--An engine of hypocrisy, formed by the ambition of the Ern peror Alexander to attain universal Monarchy, by introducing absolute Government into every country. Why does he prefer this system?—Because, as soon as all the States of Europe shall be thus reduced to their physical forces, Russia, which is the most extensive, will be the strongest. What proof is there of the ambitious views of Alexander ?—Witness his conduct towords Po land, Sweden, &c. Why is Austria a Member of the Holy Al liance ?—Because that Power wants its aid to rule over Italy. And why Prussia ? Because that Government makes use of it to controul her subjects. Why did France take part in it?--For the same reason as Prusssiai How is this system of Government maintained in Austria ?---By the Police. And in Prussia ?—Chiefly by the want of energy in the people. Who governs France ?—A Coterie, composed of emigrants and of some miserable Buena partists. Why does she go to war?--To have an army devoted to her. What use does she intend to make of the army ?---A means of enriching herself. What is her anxiety in the war ?—To be able to withdraw this army safe. On whit assistance does she rely ?—ntemoral forces of the Holy Alliance, and some subsidies 'from that body. Why not on its physical forces ?—Because there are men enough in France ; and because 'also by this means they keep clear of the scruples of England. What is the general interest of Great Britain ? To hold the balance against kushia. Whence can she derive her principal support? In moral forces. Which of these forces are now the most power ful among the people of Europe ?—liiberal ideas. England in that situation that she may bring these moral forces into action ?--Yes, because the physical forces of Russia are brougha through the medium of the French into action in the Peninsula,. • Is there any ether reason why she Should act in this manner ?—Yes, because the , Emperor Alexander is reducing hiS army to conceal his ambitious views, and that he mav be able to give pecuniary succours to 'France. 'Ought England to sunport Constitutional . .Spain ?—Yes, because the geographical position of Spain renders her the most important point in the-political balance of Europe,: in opposition to Russia. How ought she to do it ?—IIy the means of moral forces. Ought she at the same time to preserve her neutrality ?--Yep, as long as Russia or the Holy Alliance. does not render more assistance to France than it gives now. Ought England to protect the Constitution of Spain ?—Not precisely the Constitution, but her independence. Is it possible to forM a treaty between }ranee and Spain ?—Yes, but at the expencti of the in dependence of Spain. Why ?—Because that order of things must be supported by an army, and any other than the Constitution of the Cortes would have to be main tained by the French army, as the Defenders of the. Faith are not capable of forming one. 1n a hat manner can a system be establiihd in Spain a hich shall promote, her own safety, with out compromising that of other States?— Let the French army return to France; and the Spaniards, who are in want of repose after so many years suffering, will desire nothing, better than to re main quiet at home and abroad ; their Consti tution, moreover, a ill modify itself by practice, and in a very short time it will become aristocra tical enough, and easy of management' by an intelligent executive power, to Avid* it oilers every facility."

Saturday last, her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT, the Patronesses of the General Lying-in Hospital, Bridge-road, Lambeth, vi sited that institution, and went through the ‘Sards, when her Royal Ilighnes was pleased to express her high approbation of the general con duct of the establishment. Her Royal Highness was received at the hospital by the President (Earl Grosvenor), Lady Elizabeth Flute, the Treasurer, Committee, 1)r. Maton (the consult ing Physician), and the other Medical Officers ;.attached to the Institution. The Marquis of 11ASTINGS, who has been some days at Paris, had a private audience of the ling of FItANCC on Saturday last. In the !louse of Commons, last nlgbt, in bring ing up the Report of the Select Committee on the subject of the Penitentiary, at Milbank, by Mr. G. BENNCT, Chairman of the Committee, it was distinctly stated by that gentleman, that no Mame whatever was attributable to the late Me. dlcal Superintendunt (Mr. A. COPT-IND H kiN) ; but, on the contrary, that the evidence tendered before the Committee authorised them to state, that he was not only skilful in his pro= fession, but uniformly kind and attentive to the unfortunate convicts. Maxstox-House:. —Mr. Mawby, one of the Overseers of the parish of St, Mary-at.llill, Billingsgate, enclitics' w take the directions or tidsiee of the LonD M - Aron as to the man ner in which thoperish should act With respect to some soldiers belonging to the East India Company, The Overseer was attended by a soldier, .111C1, with difficulty crawled into the justice-room, the victim of hard labour and It bad cli. mute. The facts stated were to the following . effect :—The wretched object had been recently landed from the Pinonix East Indieman, in which he had been brought home from hale, having se rved eight years as a private in the Bethbay European regiment. His constitution was broken by the severities he uns dement, being obliged to sleep under thegoas At night, and, having contracted a rheumatic affection which threatens a long series of misries. He was in consequence of his illness dis. charged and : sent home. By the rule of the service those sot (hers only who served 14 years, or had been wounded, were alloWed a pension ; and tare * e poor soldier having claim of the kind, was landed and presented with a few shillings, which Were soon spent. Having land:sl in the parish of Si. ary-at. Hill, he now claimed relief there. His settlement was In the Country, and lie had no legal claim in town ; hitt had not the overseers given him relief, he must haVe inevitably perished in the streets. The parish were now anxious 'to know in what manner he was to be resit home.; for he did not come within any known provisions. This ease Was by no means a singular . One; for soldiers who had served in the Indies and lost their con. Stitutions in the Company's service, and who were of course of fel further use, constantly landed at Billingsgate from the Oraves 4nd boats; some with contracted knees, others with febrile com plaints ; mom , *ere carried to the shore in the arms °Nile sailore, end all were labouring under some of the disorders incidental to the climate, or the severity of the service. Those who were, enlist , ed in London, and we're not entitled by wounds or 14 years' ser vice to a pension, received only:lctid. upon being discharged t those who were enlisted in the country received but about 17a. to convey them homee whilst the Irish soldiers were allowed but 245. to convey them to Ireland, and that sum was given to them: at Holyhead, without any prevision being made to : convey them thither from Ignition. - )f course, men wretched pittances to sick men on their landing, atter a long voyage, wore immediately consumed, and the miserablcobjects came for relief to this parish. The Overseers could not, let them die in the streets, mid though there was no legal obligation to give relief, had felt theinselves beund, from motives of Coal : mon humanity, to infringe the rule for the violation of which they were responsible. Freon the number who were landed, and the heavy nature of their claims, the parish was bur dened most severely, and the overseers no longer considered themselves justified in continuing the relief. They therefore wished to know how the poor objects who often had not to wait 'long for death should be disposed Of. The Lahr) MAvon expressed his surprise at the statement, and upon a consultation it appeared that by an Act lately passed he was deprived of the power of passing such objects to their parishes regu larly. 11 ' advised Mr. Mawhy to make a statement of the case nt the India House, and directed one of the marshal men• to attend tipm himself, .and ascertain whether any thing could he done on the subject by the Company—Mr. Mawby, accompanied by Brand, the marshalman, conveyed the invalid to the India House, where the case was stated. The answer received was; we understand, that certain rules were adopted with regard to discharged soldiers which had been strictly complied with in the present instance. It was the rule to give the marching. allowance of the King's service (lid. a mile) to Convey those discharged to the place where they lied been en s listed. This allowance had been given to the applicant. in the present case, and no further aid could be given. Under these eircumstances, Mr. Mawby took the Invalid back to the work house. The course Which the parish will take towards these objects has not yet been deternimed upon.

The following is the decision of the questlbft i as to the right to carry the Crown of Scotlan,d,, part of the Scottish Regalia, before the KING, at . Processions in Scotland : Our readers will recollect tho - nature and circumstances of this important and interesting question, tried before the Most Honourable Privy Council, on the 14th and.2lst of June, fulfi l , Reports of which appeared in our columns, and we promised to lay before our residers the. substances -of the decision, when that should be pronounced. A. short reettpitulation once more of the circumstances of the case will connect the decision more, completely, and will not he, it is hoped, 'unavailing.-;-Archi. bald, Lord Douglas of Douglas, having, in 1769, on a pre liminary point, and in 1776, ultimately succeeded in the main question, by judgment of the House of Lords, through his. mother, Lady Jane Douglas, sister of the Duke of Doulas, who married the father of the present Lord Douglas, fair John Stewart, of Grandtully, Baronet, to the " estates which com prised the Earldom of Angus," the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, who then appeased his claim, as he now again does, retaining the title of Earl of Angus," and the " honours" , and " di g nities" attached to it, he, Lord Douglas, thought proper to dispute, in a petition to the King, referred to the Privy Council the Duke's right to retain them longer in his family. Isis Lordship's argument was this :—The honours and dignities enjoyed by Earls of Angus" were not confer-, red by the original Royal grants as personal honours to go with the Peerage or Title of" Earls of .Angus,'opart of that of Hamilton and Brandon, but as being feudalized and descend, ing with the onion ial property which comprised the " EAU-Horn of Angus." Lord Douglas having succeeded to these lands, though without the title. of " Earl of Angus," claimed the right ' tia,perfonn now, and in time toicotne, the Nomura and dig nities, 'for centuries inherited and performed by the Dielie of Hamilton and Brandon's ancestors, of leading the ianguard of the army in the day of battle; of having the first vote to the. Parliament of Scotland; and of carrying the Crown of Scot-. land before the King, at all Ridings of Parliament and Royal Processions within the City of Edinburgh." The last is the only right which can be exercised since the Union ; the others. may be inherited, though not exercised, referring as they do to the Scottish Parliament, and those commanons which i'iere of old existed. Lord Douglas maintained that, since the period of his succession to the territorial property, the Duke of Hamiltoa'a family should be declared to, be divoited of those honours and dignities in his favour. The Duke answered—" The !moors and dignities were personal to those enjoying the title of " Eati of Angus.",--Myancestors were " Earls of Angus."— lam " Earl of Angus ; " my son is " Earl of Angus" You only succeeded to the territorial property of the Earldom, with winch that title of " Earl of Angus" descends not. The. " honours," from their nature, were conferred on and destined to heirs Male; females could not perform them; they were ex cluded. You succeeded through your mother, a female heir, in whom they could not be and were not. But for a change of the investiture, at one time illegally made, at I maintain, you would not have even succeeded to the lands as heir of your ' mother, who would not; but I, as heir-male of the unaltered investiture, would have done so. At any rate to the title of " Earl of Angus" you have no claim; nor to the performance of those Important honours and dignities, which were entailed on my ancestors and their heirs.niale, as "Earls of Angus" alone, by the Sovereign. It will be recollected that the Privy Council, after having, on two successive days, heard the case argued at great length and with much ability by Mr. Warren and Mr. Bmughatu, assisted by Mr. Riddell, of the Scots Bar, for the Claimant, Lord Douglas, of Douglas; and by Mr. A bercromby and Mr. Adam, for the Opposer, the Duke of Hamilton and llrandon, their Lordships adjourned to, the 21st June, to deliberate before pronouncing judgment. Yesterday the distinguished Members who composed the Council met for that purpoite ; and the following is the sub stance of their anal determination upon this interesting question. Their Lordships remained a considerable time in delibera tion. The resolution they have formed cannot be publicly an nounced in formal terms until it has been reported by the Privy Council to his Majesty; but we understand that their - Lordships have agreed to report that Lord Douglas, of'Douglas, the claimant of the honours and privileges above described, has opt made out his claim.—( Morning Post.)
