VIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Sztracts from the Morning Papers, November 12. [,;o*NtNo CMION Among the exiles front Spain in Gibraltar, lkondon, &c. are many individuals who were come Veiled, by the fOrce of circumstances, to do that 'which has brought them within the range of the late measure of proscription. Butikers,rnerchants, And others in the great towns, could not possibly avoid titling municipal offices, or serving in the Militia, under the dE facto Government. Yet 'for this obedience they are now drkveit from their country, and involved in complete ruin. Seve -sal have embarked for South America, but .many are unable to leave Gibraltar from the absolute scant of means, not daring to draw on then friends and cot►nectiotts, least the latter should thereby become the 'objects of the venge vice of the Government. Thy cruelty manifest ed towards these unfortunate 'men is perfectly decisive of the character of the Government of Fertlio.nd and the Friar 9. If Ferdinand pos. tessedionly ng much rationality as to be able to ask: himself a single question, the answer ►which it would suggest, would in this case arrest his Sanguinary hand. What have they done, for which they cannot offer the very justification which he urges for swearing to the Constitution, anti acting tinder it ?. lie says he yielded to an irresistible necessity—they say the same. But why waste words on such a being, or on the brutal bigots in whose hands be is ? [MOUNINO POST.] We received last night, by express, French Papers to the 10th inst. They contain but : little intelligence from the Peninsula, and that little is not important. The French Ilead-quarters were at Burgos about the 4th or sth, and Qen. Guillerninot was returning with his patron, the Duke of :Amgen'erne, to France. It is there fore not improbable that the rumoors tt hick pre. voided at the time when his former opponent, the Duke of liellono,was removed from the wardepart ' enlist, inay prove to have heen well founded, and that Baron Damas may only have been intrusted . witit the duties of that important situation till he should . he at liberty to take them upon himself. If the !qaternents of the Miinorial Warnuis are to be credited, the contest which is dying away even in Catalonia, the only province where it had really, a ssumed the character of war , has revived with unexpected activity in Esteemadura. A se• vere notion is said to have been ,fought in that quarter, :u which many 'soldiers had fallen on boat idol ; but as no further details had been received, it is impossible to know whether it was a new exploit performed by the Empecinado,, whetler tltu report of Plasencia's surrender was untrue, and that able and energetic Com mander still kept the field. It is added that 410,000 French troops were to be sent hnme. diatelYto Estremadura,which would imply that the C o n s titutionalist. roust be in great strength in that province. The brave •Znyal, who had oc. copied for some time the triountaios of Ronda', is atatett tci have sailed for the Ha vannalt, " the island' of Cuba having declared Itself independ entOf Spain." This assertion is probably pre mature. The event is most likely to happen; but tie directadvices have yet been received in this country of its having actually taken place.— Corthagena it appears is determined to support a siege rather than recognize an absolute Mo narch.. The hOmbardment of that place is repre. sented to have commenced on the With ult. In France, the approaching dissolution of the Chain. bet and the question of Septennial Parliaments, do no more than divide the public attention with intereting trial. of Costuine. Nits . Tiie letters from Cad iz contain' intelligence MON interesting than surprising to an observer tif fu, sh affairs. ft is said that the utmost alarm and affliction reigned amongst the inha bitants of the city, in 'consequence of the arbi trary arrests made by D'Aunoy, the Servile Go-' vernor, lately appointed to commend there.— ,Latre, es-Constitutional Commandant, and the Duke del Parque, were arrested by D'Aunoy,on the 'loth ott. On the same night Count Bour moot sent for this Governor, and asked him by whose orders the arrests had been exe cuted. virtue of secret orders," was the reply. 4, Let me see those orders," rejoined the French General. " No," answered the Spaniard. 44 Thou," added Bourmont, "if you " repeat such arrests, without showing me a " specific authority, signed by King Ferdinand, " and if within two hours you do'not send me a " written justification of those already made, you " shell take your departure from Cadiz." " 1 a will execute my secret orders without your " leave or knowledge. M. D'Aunoy concluded by observing 6 ‘ And I will not quit Cadiz, unless " forced."• Poreed he was accordingly. At four the next morning a detachment of French •grena diers put the refractory Servile beyond the gates of Cadiz, to the infinite exultation, as the ac counts go on to say, of the people of that hum bled city. Now these arrests by one Servile officer on a singlestation, constitute, we are aware, het &small spetimen of the general action and character of thc system under which they Were performed; nod what a w hole sliest that be, of which such enor mities are a sample! Lives and properties, and personal freedom, were to he safe under the word of the Duke d'Angoulerne : but the first Instance of free agency on the part of. Ferdinand and his Confessor is a breach of faith Whose baseness is ptovetl by its cowardice ; for it must be perpe-1 treed in the dark, anti under 44 secret orders."' As for the policy of such an act, it stands on a level v.ith the morality. A few more 66 se• cret orders" like these to D'A.tmoy, would rouse the Constitutionalists from One en d of Spain to the other ; end if from their despair, the most powerful of stimulants, we ale'. prehenti nb immediate fruits, it is not in the phy- OW nature of human beings to tolerate long Ouch a course or outrag eo us persecution. The 1)(;jy which before overturned the Serviles, and which was discountenanced, 'or not actively as. listed by men of temperate politics throughout the nation, will henceforth, should this heartless tyranny continue, restive to their ranks a rein forcement of every individual, who is able to solve the most simple question of personal inte rest or discretion. The soldiers and militia, moreover, have been at once insulted and left a prey to utter famine. Vie first consequence of this is already manifest—the army have dispers ed into bands of plunderers : they may soon be re-assernhled under military chiefs, and their hearts still burning with shame and vengeance, will furnish means for a renewal of the war. [NtW TIMES.I On Saturday last we published a documeni highly wor►hy to be referred to 7.n the presen . conjuncture, the Proclamation of the King o Spain in 1814, pledging himself to establish on the firm basis of law the rights of the Throne and the " equl►lly inviolable rights of the people." Now is the time for the Spanish Monarch to re deem that solemn pledge. Resolutely as we have contended against the anarchical Constitution, which was forced upon 'the Spanish People by the bayonets of the Mutineers of 1820, we shall no less resolutely contend for their right to a good, a wise, and a free Constitution, founded on their ancient liberties, and adapted to their present and future happiness. The Pro clamation of 1814 not only promises this, but points out the mode, the only mode, by which it can be safely attained ; namely, by the King's deliberating on so important a subject with the Representatives of the nation legitimately as sembled in Cortes. The ancient Cortes of Spain and Portugal, the S►ates.Geeneral of France, and the Parliament of England were only so many diversified modes of National Representation----so many Great Councils of the Realm, by whose advice, and with whose assent, the King, the head and chief of the State, was bound to act, in the discharge of his high legislative functions. They represented the na• tioa ~truly, by representing the great national interests: and this was a far better safeguard for liberty than if they had been chosen on the most comprehensive system of Universal Suffrage ever devised by the ingenuity or conceived by the folly of our . Parliamentary Reformers. It has happened to us eventually to outstrip our European competitors in the improvement of Representative Government. There have been times when that was far from being the case. Under the tyrant Henry VIII. the English Par liament was a model of servility and baseness ; ' under the well meaning bat misguided Charles 1., the Parliament laid its parricidal hands on the Constitution, murdered the King, and enslaved the people. Providence has graciously enabled us to redeem those errors ; and we now possess a Parliament, which answers it, legislative pur poses more fully, fairly,and effectually, than any similar assembly does or can do.in any other ne on.. [BRITISH 1 tis always well to tread ith caution where we do not see our way clearly ; for unless we do so, the velocity with which we travel only carries us farther from the right road. To a great Commercial country like our own, peace is always a blessing. It is a blessing, Indeed,' to all countries, but to Great Britain pecu liarly ; war is therefore never to be entered upon, but under circumstances which offer no alter native; such circumstances rarely occur, perhaps never did occur, to any nation not predisposed to profit by them. Should France be found to act, as we fear she will, upon the views of wealth and power which are at present directing her atten tion to South America, however any counterac tive policy which this country may adopt in such it case may be defensible on the ground of expe diency, it will be defensible on that ground alone. We mean here to speak not of moral ex pediency----for morality has no concern with it but of an expediency purely political ; for, iii meditating the acquisition of the Spanish colonies, though the conduct of France may be unjustifiable, yet our Ministers, on their side, will not easily absolve themselves from the blame of braving deliberately adopted a course of policy which directly led to it. If, disdaining all connexion with freedom, we suffered her un furled standard to be trampled upon, and stood by, the secret applauding spectators of the late atrocious and unprovoked attack upon Spain, what moral right have we to interfere, should France indemnify herself, by the possession of her Colonies, for the heavy expence she incurred Jrt, the destruction of her Constitution ? Our Ministers approved of the W. step; what reu. sonable ground then have they to complain of the other ? If that base invasion of the Peninsula which our Cabinet connived at, while it restored a system of tyranny, becomes in Its effects a sys, tern of national aggrandizement on the part of France, 4)11 what principle of justice or consist ence cy.n they appeal against it ? Can the same persons countenance violation of every principle of ,justice and good faith in the atmosphere of Madrid and Cadiz, and i n sistopen.thele:beleg held sacred in the latitude of La Plata 4 . 0 d, Peru ? Should Great Britain be forced into hostilities in defence of her counnerrial and political int•ereats, Ministers will no doubt very pathetically lament he necessity of imposing fresh burdens on. the eople.

The Coon was occupied during the greater part of the day, in concluding the cute of " Trollope and Linton." The pro perty at stake was considerable ; but the question, which was of title, had no general interest. Oahe V. 3V/11:NTT. This was a question up the construction of a will. The plaintiff', M H iss aig, who is the daughter of a gentleman of fortune, took certain properties—to wit, a sum of 9,0(301. 4 per Cents., and a valuable chest of plate, under the, will of the fate Mrs. Herat, of Prince's-street, Hanover-square. The terms of the devise tas respected the 1,0001.) were—" to Swinney, Esq. (the defendany and a cc-trustee, in trust for the sole use and benefit of my adopted daughter, Ann Hurst Haig, to pay her, and allow her to recive duly, the dividends arising from the same." The plate was left to thematic trustees, in the first instance, for the sole use of Aliss Haig's mother, during her life, and independent of her husband ; at her death to become the property of the plaintiff. It was admitted that the gift of the plate to Miss Haig wan absolute; and, Mr. HEALD con tended, for the plaintiff,. that the 9,001. was in the same situation ; the gift of the dividends to the sole use and beneht being tantamount to a gift of the principal, and such a devise as empowered the plaintiff' to dispose of the property by will. Mr. Art L. submitted, on the other side, that the words of the will were not apecitic enough to give the plaintiff any , thins; more than a life interest in the 9,0001. He relied upon d it. ference of expression between the devise of the plate sod the devise of the money. . The Vic it- elt A SCELLOIt by no means thought that circum stance decisive; but took time (until Thursday) to give his opinion upon the question. His Honour cheerved, however, in the course of conversation, that he felt it to he the general duty of the Court to look rather at what a testator's wards absolutely eaprevied, than at what he Might be eupposed to have intended. If the practice were to obtain of supposing what a man was likely to have meant, instead of taking the direct and obvious effect of his words, the consequence would ire, that the disposie tiert of a property constantly would depend upon the peculiar co n s titution of the mind oft judge. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 11. . 7:0A14 ANA 'WATERMAN' v. Totere.tat.t. This was an action of trover brought against a banker at Liverpool , to recover the value of a Bank of England note for 1,0001., which the plaintiff* lost, and which they charged that the defendant took, either fraudulently, or under circumstances which ought to have excited his vigilance and suspicion. The case was tried before Mt. Justice HoLROYb, et die lost menses for Lancaster, whet the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff's, 1 damages 1,0001.

On behalf of the defendant, to *flew that he received the note trierifide, and for a sufficient ,4,,ideoition, Mr, Henry ws , called, who swore that a ponton, about to sail for 'America, w ho was lodging at his house, had the note In his possession, and wished to buy goods in Liver.

The clerk* of the defendant also corroborated this statement, with respect to the amount of bills tr.e cash actually given.

A surgeon, not certainly of very respectable lin the rat, appearance, also stated that Mrs. Parker lamented to him that afforded I she had no children; but this witness, on cross-examination, ll never le admitted that lie had quarrelled with her, and otherwise laid t is indelit himself open to remark. When Mr. Sergeant Pell, who was I too mud Counsel for the plaintiff, rose to reply, the teethed Judge sug gested that no reply was necessary ; but the Learned Sergeant liegged to say a few words, in which lie strongly reprobated lANteE, : the attempt to defeat a just claim " by the evidence of such a specue as the list witness ;" and quoted the well-known de scription of the apothecary from Rortfo and Juliet. The Judge shortly summed up, and the Jury immediately found a verdict for the defendant. It was remarkable that the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Corn- • • • ruing was only three days before that of the Parkers, at Exeter; as that the statement respecting the child being left with Mrs. Cummings could not be true. The chief ground, however, for setting aside the verdict would appear in the utlidavits, and which disclosed a conspiracy arid fraud of the most atrocious na. ... tune. First, the defentiants.swore that they were entirely taken ...... ,• • • by surprise, never having heard any mention in the family of any son of Richard Parker as living, or of any marriage in Scot laroi. Mr. Dore deposed that he had produced the pretended John Charles Parker to the Rev.Jarn es Sundt and Mr. Joule, a school. master at Brarnaun, and those gentlemen swore that he wasAlexe ander Cumming, the son of the sister of Mrs. Parker, always called by that IThine, and Lever by the tootle of Parker; and Mr. Joule swore that he had been at the school several years. John elmsley also deposed that he had always passed as the son of Cumming. John Macqueen, and Mery his wife, deposed, that Cumming had boasted that he gained the verdict at Exeter, by . a certificate taken from a registry which they kept; anti i'lne. , .Mcqueen recollected his calling in her husband's absence, and askirte to look at the register, when she saw him insert in it the entry from which Ise afterwarde took a copy, but which , copy her husband refused to authenticate. Mr. Gordon, the I clergyman, deposed that lie was riot at Edinburgh in 1793; that he never married Richard Parke: to the woman, arid that he never signed the certificate: and there were the affidavits of several persons that Mr. (Jordon was not, as pretended, insane. The COtrltT hairnet eti that the Learned Counsel had said enough to entitle him to a rule to chew cause. Mr. Cwasaoto said that he wished to add one fact more, in justice to the respectable solicitor for the plaintiff, who ought to he exonerated from any suspicion of participating in the fraud. The result of time heal had created a great seneation in Scotland, where the falsehood of the call: was well known, and some proceedings had taken place among the members of the religious communion to winch the parties belonged. These might induce the young mu to write a letter to the toliziter dated 13th of last October, which that gentleman believed to b ; in his hand-writing from papers he had seen hint write at Exe ter. The Learned Counsel read the letter, in which Ore writer sail, that •• with the utmost confusion he avowed himself a gross impostor ;" that he " knew not how to justify himself, but felt bound to acknowledge the Integrity arid innocence o f the attorney ;" that " his father and aura w ere th e lead. e parties who instigated him e letter wa to the fr a ud." Th e l n' _ s signed, " A person too well know', to you,.. and a POi;C:ipt seas signed, A. Cumming." The Count granted a rule to 'how cause. Me. OA3ELEE wished the rule to be drawn up for the next term, on im.:courit of the distance of the parties, but The CounT thought it should b e drawn tip i terms, a' it might be enlarged if suet sh oul d c-ri the usual be shown against it.
