" M. de Conflans then marched upon Ayamonte with such speed . thilt the Political Chief, in his haste to save himself, -.could not even carry away his papers, and the fort of Aya monte, armed and provisioned, fell into our power. We found much ammunition, and many vessels which may be employed - usefully against eatliz. The garrison of .Ayamonte and its fort was principally composed of artillery ; the officers of which led.:•bist the soldiers-have returned, expressing a wish to serve •theaing ; they have been ordered'to Seville; After the °cell pation.d Ayamonte, M. tie Conflans putihed on a reconnoitring party against the small fort of Paymago, situated at the en trance of.the - mountains, where he hopes to find more aminu .nition., After having traversed the country in every direction, be left some troops, principally Spaniards, to guard the various ports. 4 ,c(lenerals Bourmont and Bordesoulle announce, that in consequence of the flails and shells (projectiles) found at Aya snonte„ and .which have been transported to Seville, the born barilment of Cadiz may commence on the 2.5 th of this month.

[From the Courier Frantlais.] PRAXIEFOnT, JULY 20.—We learn from Stutgard, dated the 17th, that Baron Wagedheim, after repeatedly requeSting to be recalled from Frankfort, the King of Wurtemberg, has at' length complied with his request. It is supposed that lus place will be supplied by Count Winzingerode, at present Minister of Foreign ;Affairs, and in some measure celebrated for the note he addressed to the diplomatic agents of Wurtemberg at foreign courts, and which excited so m uc h a t tent i on among t h e members of the diplomatic corps at the termination of the Congress of Verona. 31. de Trott is also mentioned ; who enjoys in a high degree the confidence of his Sovereign.

PARIS, .1 ULY 23.—The Memorial Borilelais says that the Regency of Spain has made its installation known to the Spanish Islands of the Mediterranean, but its dispatches were burnt at Palma, in the island of Majorca, by the hand of the hangman. • The Grand Inquisitor of Spain, who has taken refuge in France since the abolition of the holy office, has left Bayonne to return to Madrid. It is not known if his object is to hasten the re-establishment of the Inquisition. In this ease, it is to he hoped, that this gentleman, in resuming his functions, will for get his three years of idleness, a nd w ill not see k to ma k e up f or lost time. The Etoilc says, that according to letters from Cadiz of the 13th, several persona have been arrested, and among others the Editors of the Zarriago. These gentlemen, it is well known, have never ceased to favour the cause of despotism, under the mask of liberty. The Eloile adds,.that there still exist at Cadiz the following Journals : The Redactor, the Diario -Mer cantil, the Constitutional, the Espeetador, the Gazetta _Espa nola, and the Diario de la Cork.

[PRIVATE LETTER.] " MADniD, JULY 15.—The Regency •of Madrid becomes more and more the subject of all conversations. Even the French soldiers ask why they have come to Spain to support its vexations. Instead of conciliating men's minds, it re-ani. mates vengeance and the passions; di union reigns even in the cloisters, and some of the Friars have, in consequence of disputes, thrown offthe frock, and taken up the musket for the Cortes. " if every thing depended on the Prince Generalissimo, af fairs would no doubt be soon amicably arranged. He wishes for oblivion of the past. Well-Informed people say there arc negociations with the Cortes. "Constitutional partizans have entered fluete anti Sacedon. The tocsin was sounded, but few peasants could be got to fight them, and those who fought were beaten. Detachments from Ballasteros' corps presented themselves on the 9th at Villa Ruz ; others were, on the 13th, at Illanzanares, Alcuvaz, and Infantes (in La Mancha)." BAYONNE, JULY 19.—The first convoy of battering artil lery has marched to-day for the siege of St. Sebastian. Brigadier-General de Jeurnonville arrived last night from Madrid, said to be instructed with an important mission from the Prince Generalissimo to the King. The Empecinado, after having summoned Zamora and Toro to surrender to the Constitutionalists, marched rapidly on Val ladolid, where he set at liberty the citizens 'arrested by the Royalists. To sinew their gratitude, they enrolled under his standard. The Castiles arc full of Constitutional partizans, and the Captain-General has only 2,000 men under his eiders, which is very little in proportion to the immense extent of the proVinces. THE ARMY.. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 21 • BOXIANA. SHERWOOD AND OTHERS v. PIERCE EGAN. This morning the Lord Chancellor came into Court with dte three volumes of Ballow; under ins arm; and called on Mr. Shadwell to knOw if the copyright of that work had been vested in the plltint ill's by a legal. assignment from the author. • . Mr. 611A0wEtr, said,, there had been no other assignment except the pUrehase of the Work. and Mr. Egan's receipt for the purchase-money ; but he;COntended, that in equity, an 'assign ment was not necessary, • Aker some cOnversatiotibetWeen his Lordship, Mr. Shad well, and Mr. Egan, the tiORD CHANCELLon gave it as his opinion, that as an .actionould not be brought by a publisher against the person piratinOis work, unless lte had it assigned over to him, an injunction could not on the same principle issue. The - application was therefore refused. A FEMALE ..SAILOR. citaxnt.Ens L.

Mr. Bart said that the injunction was coatentled for, on the groand that this equivocal sailor, who had served in the tr eble capacity of cook, steward, and ship's alit., was, in fact, now discovered to be Mr. Chandler's wife—(laughter) —and not his servant, as had been stated; and that the defendants had discovered the whole transaction to be a mere collusion bet Ween them to defraud the estate, the par ties having concealed their real itrul tender ties the better to effect this end. - It had been found impossible to serve the sub poena upon them of the filing of this bill, as they had previously eloped. The Learned Gentleman then went into the various affidavits, which merely contained the matter which has been already at some length before the public. • • The Loan CfEANCEL&M. had observed from' the diurnal prints, that this suit was instituted in the Adhairalty Court by this female sailor for the payment of wages. One question, which appeared to have occupied that Court, was, whether a woman could legally earn wages in such a eaeueity 2 (Laughter.),4l had been decided - there that she might ; but then the next question here arose as to whether she was the wife, as was now alleged, or the servant of the master of the vessel ? The defendant said idle was the wife, and if such was the fact, it. might prove fatal to the claim she set up. But then it was not to be taken for granted, that she was actually his legal wife, because lie so termed. her. Ile had known a sailor set up a similar claim to: fifty different women.— ( Laughter.) Mr. HART—Undoubtedly that. distinction ought to be weighed ; for,generally speaking, such w as th e laxity of a seaman's morals, that when he asserted that a certain female was his wife, the inference generally to be drawn was, that she stood in that character de fileio, though not de jure. Mr. Chandler, however, in this case, had acknowledged this lady to be his lawful spouse, which she denied, and in this his' client's equity consisted. The Loan CifAgCELLOit could not recollect a case where an injunction had been granted to restrain the proceedings in another Court, merely because one of the parties had been guilty of perjury. If that were to be the modern practice, he much feared that pretty nearly every case that was tried, especially where sailors, and more particularly smugglers, were con wined, might be brou g ht into thi s C ourt un d er a s i m il ar p r e text.—He feared he could not interpose ; he would, however, take home the papers to read. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Juts 211. DISPOSITION OF HER' LATE MAJESTY'S PRO.. PERTY. EX=PARTE AUSTIN IN THE 32A - rrEit OF AUSTIN. Mr. SUCIDEN stated that this was a Petition praying that the Court would refer the costs of the petitioner to the Master, and that it would ostler a sum of money, amounting to .5,1113/. 12:4.2d. Three per Cent. Consolidated Bank Annitio be ities, p l a viltiticohuntoowf Courtstood in the lame of the Accountant-tleneral, to the petitioner. The Learned Counsel observed that this money,was the produce of a sale to the Crown of a houseilir merly belonging to her late Alajesty, at Blackheath. house in , question had been granted .by the Crown, and ulti. mately became vested in the Duchess of Brunswick, who gave. it by will to the Lord Chancellor and Lord Redesdale for.the, benefit of her daughter, then Princess of Wales, to be by her devised; 'whether covert or not, and notwithstanding her rover tore to any person, or for whatever purpose or purposes she should by will, properly attested, appoint, and for default of such appointment 'to go to the legatees of her Serene High ness the Duchess of Brunswick: bout the year 1816 an Act of Parliament"was passed, authorizing certain Commissioners therein named, to 'buy up All their interests in certain Crown Lands mentioned, and if the, parties to whom such Crawl Lands should then belong 'were under disability of receiving the pur. chase money for the same, it was directed to be vested in the name of the Acc.onutant-tleneral of this Court for the benefit of such parties. The house in question had been purchased by the CarninVidonerii,"Mider this Act, for the stun of 4 ,0154103.3 d. which watotid into this Court; and on the 17th of June, in that ytarolio4Princess surrendered her ii:terest in the house to the lute It appeared, limiever, that previoualy to this period sl”i hattexecuted several appointments of this property for the benefit of differentindividuals. On the 14th January, 1814, she had.executed-an appointment in favour of lierbro titer the then Duke of Brunswick; to vest in him after her death, but this appointment contained a clause by which the Princess was declared competent to revoke it, by deed or will, and to appoint and direct the same to any person whom she should think fit. ,A short time after this her Royal Highness baving had ' occasion to borrow a . sum of 2,3001 . from Air. Holier, she, in February 1814, revoked so much of her former deed of appoint ment as would enable her to make a new appointment to the extent of 2,3001. for the security of that loan. On the 2d of 'August, in the same year, she executed a new appointment to the Princess Charlotte,. but as that instrument was only attested. b y one witness, it was consequently void. The property, there , fore, remained.as it had been bequeathed by the will of the Duchess, which the appointment of the Princess to the Duke her brother nartly revoked as to 2,3001. anti continuing as to the other part. It was well known that the Duke of Dfunswick had been killed at the battle of Waterloo, that the lamentable death of the Princess Charlotte occurred in 1817; and in the month of March in tbaollowing year the Prince-% of Wales, Who wits then abroad, "'gave as a gift in case of ' her decease, her interest arising from the house in Blackheath, to William Austin, son of William and Sophia Austin, the capital to be,in vested immediately, and to remain io invested until lie should come of age, when he should be at liberty to withdraw the same for his personal benefit." There were witnesses who could prove the regular attestation of this deed, the body of which was admitted to be in the Princess's handwriting, so that no dispute existed as. to the formality of the instrument: The effect of it was double, ,for it oper a t e d b ot h as a revocat i on o , the appointment to the Duke, and as a new appointment b Mr. Austin, in whose favour it was made. The Vic E-CIiANCELI.OIt asked on whom notice of this pe tition had been served ? Mr. ShODEN replied, that the, executors of the Duke of Brunswick, and the executors of her late Alajesty. had receiv ed notice, and if it were necessary, Prince Leopold would dis claim any interest sepposed to arise on the appointment to the Princess Charlotte. Such a disclaimer . was, however, quite needless, as the deed of appointment made to her, was in valid from its informality., On the deed of 1818, therefore, the claim of the petitioner' could be well founded, but if any con firmation of that deed should be required, it would be amply afibrded by th e win which her foie Majesty made after at ' the Uf Queen' Contfinr. By that will, which was dated in August 18`21, her Majesty gave all her property to trustees on trust, to receive and pay the principal of the whole of the trust property to the petitioner, on his attain ing the age of twenty-one, with directions to appropriate the interest in the mean time for hiS Maintenance. In a codi cil to this will, which her Maj e sty executed a few days after wards, she spoke of the bequest of the property which she had received from her mother, as a Specific legacy to the petitioner. This instrument also operated its ti full and complete revocation of any former appointments. There were two minor points, the first of which related to the payment of part of Mr. 11 epees debt out of the general fund, and the second was a question as to a claim of the executers to the sum of 17.1!. which was formed of some rents that accrued during the life of her Majesty, and which the executors contended ought to form part of the estate, for the general benefit of the creditors. The petitioner however, opposed this claim, on the'ground, that although her Majesty might have churned these rents against her own appointment, yet that it was not competent for the executors, who were tram tees under her will, to set up this claim against the provisions of that very will, front which they derived their authority. Mr. BELL said, he appeared on behalf of the executors of the late Duke of Brunswick, to contend, - that as no power of revocation had been specifically given to her Majesty in the creation of the power •otappointment, she could not revoke the appointment she had made to his Serene Highness in January, 181-1. The, Learned Counsel was about to cite a case from Ver. non's Reports, in favour of this proposition, when The Vitt-CirANert.Lalt observed that it had been over ruled many times, ant! that a party could as well grant a qua lified as an absolute appointment. Mr. Bata then stated that he appeared also on behalf of the executors of her hue Majesty, who felt ft to be their duty to take his Honour's opinion on this petition on two distinct points. Find, they wished to know whether the appointment to the Princess Charlotte was not valid, although it had ,been Bank Stock . 3 per Cent. Red. 82M 3 per Cent.

By the arrival of the Tartar from Corunna appears that that important place was still in possession of the Constitutionalists on the 21st. The Tartar made the voyage to Falmouth in the short space of three days. The following is the annunciation of her arrival at Falmouth : . " FAL M Tit, 3 LT 25.-4-The Tartar, Spanish cutter, arrived here last night from Corunna in three days ; she con firms the intelligence of the entrance into Ferrol by the French without opposition, and also of the repulse of their army in the attacks on Corunna.. On the lath alone they sustained a loss of five hundred men by a sortie of the garrison, who were headed by Sir Mural. WiLsobr, who was himself. slightly wounded, and had a horse slain under him. The inhabitants had joined the troops in defending the place, and when the Parlor left Corunna the French attacks had been utter!rde featca with great loss. Corunna is stated to be *ell provisioned; and capable of holding out for a long time.". The Tartar also brought letters from Coruuna, orrt one of which, dated in the night of the 19th, e following is an extract :-- " We have had a very severe contest here between our garrison and inhabitants and a corps of the French army,' which advanced against this place on the 15th and 16th ; after having driven in the forces, we had marched out to oppose their'pro. gress. On their approaching the works they were received with a tremendous cannonade, which did them much injury; and before they could recover themselves, the garrison made a desperate tally; and some severe fighting ensued, which cost the French upwards of 600 men. The cannonade was kept up during the whole of the 10th with great snirit, !arid during the 17th the French made several attacks, which were repulsed by the garrison with great s l aug h ter . I n l ea di ng the sally. on the 16th Sir -Robert Wilson had his horse 'shot under him, and before he, could b,4 remounted received a woun d, which, however, is not of a serious nature. On the 18th the French commenced a very furious bombardment, which, hOw_ ever, was not' attended with much success, while the fire of the garrison being well directed ; killed and wounded a num. ber of the enemy. Since that period the French have with ; drawn farther from the reach of the cannon, and have been employed in conveying away their wounded. The inhabitants joined most enthusiastically in defence of the place, under. taking the management of the artillery during the sortie, and attending the wounded with the greatest care. At the time of writing this the fire on the part of the French has ceased; but we are informed that they are in the immediate vicinity re. cruiting their forces, after the fatigue of the last three days.— To the foreigners in this place the safety of the town may be ascribed, as the systeM of discipline - established and the plan acted upon .was solely their work, We understand that this Iplace is victualled for two months, and among the garrison very ittle apprehension is ,entertained that the French will sucxed in capturing it." appears from these accounts, that, although the French had found it necessary to retire be yond the reach of the cannon of Corunna, they had not actually commenced a retreat. They can have no hope, however, after the terrible havoc that has been made in their ranks, of carrying the town by assault ; and if the severe repulse which they have experienced should not have the effect of bringing a superior force against them frpm the other parts of the province, they must be content to remain in inactivity before Corunna.—Now is the time for the Committee for managing the Spanish subscriptions in this country to make an effort which may be decisive of the fate of Spain. It appears that the inha bitants of Corunna, as well as the garrison, mani fested the utmost enthusiasm in defence of the utmost enthusiasm Constitutional - cabib. A liberal supply of arms and ammunition, therefore, at this critical mo ment, might enable a force to be marched out of Corunna, sufficient for insuring the , rout and destructio n o f G enera l B ounc es corps in the field. We .entertain strong hopes that that will be its fate, even without foreign . , assistance. Monit,Lo is said to have been under the necessity of didianding - the greater part of his troops who were previously stated to have adhered to him after his defection from, the service of the Cortes. Nothing but the mani festation of a strong Constitutional spirit amongst the soldiers could have induced him to diS misi them; and as many of their Officers were endeavouring to re-unite and employ them against the enemy, w ti may expect soon to hear of the assembling of a sufficient force to advance to the relief of Corunnais and to join its heroic defenders in exterminating the assailants. It would be injustice not to ac knowledge the activity, gallantry, and skill, which Sir ROBERT WILSON appears to have dis played under the critical circumstances produced by the defection of Aloant.o, and by the mid den advance of the French during the confusion and dismay which his treason must have occa sioned. In Catalonia the Constitutional Cause appears to be,still more promising than in Gallicia. We predicted that the Spanish accounts of the ODIN' at Molins del Key and other positions near Bares celona, would be found to be very different from those of Marshal MONCEY ; and accordingly the subjoined official Statement, published by SAN MiGutc, who seems to be aware of the importance of employing the pen as ivell as the sword (the one to dissipate the illusions, and the other to combat the 4 4 slaves" of the .ene mies of his country), provei that the Spaniards were victorious at all pOints; and that while their own loss, from their knowledge of the ground, and their choice of positions, was inconsiderable, the losses of the FrenCh . amounted to eight hundred killed and ,tw . thousand wounded. .Mrpr.t, as we stated in _our authentic intelligence from Perpignan, in last Tal s c S o:i:::t N r o a r f r s y lr 11i F s T E oF h i l F e su c a ii :l Ai t s y ‘ s it : c n oc e w o : s t a i ty s. y N n E o T r L e t re-established. ins lintll.: L s he " BARCELONA, oth JULY, 0 o'clock, p.m. "VIVA LA NACION !

Palm, JULY 25.—A telegraphic dispatch from Madrid of 21st inst. states, that the enemy, in number about 9,000 men, and protected by all their batteries, made, on the lath, a sortie informally executed, as it was an appointment in favour of a child Mr. SUGDEN submitted that it was clearly void for the rea son he had mottioned, and contended that both Sir W. Grant and his Honour had decided that an informal appointment, even to a child, could not be rendered valid by the Court in opposition to a valid appointment, executed in favour of ano ther individual. The VICE-CHANCELLOR did not remember such a poin having been submitted to his consideration. Mr: - SuDEN reminded hisllonour that this point need not now bo4eterruined, as Prince Leopold had disclaimed any sup popil interest arising on this appoftmen,t. s', • Nlong conversational discussion died aromas to what NO was liable for the payment of th a t p ar t o f h er M a j esty ' s debt to Mr. Hoper, still remaining due, and of any other debts which might still be in existence. Mr. Bell, for the executors, contending that the special fund now required to be paid to the petitioner. was liable to these debts, while Mr. Sugden in sisted that this fund being specifically appointed, was exclu sively the property of Mr. William Austin, and that the debts were alone chargeable on the general assets. The VICE-CHANCELLOR I)ltimately decreed that the ap pointments to the late Duke of B ru n swic k, an d to h er R oya l Highness the Princess Charlotte, must be declared void, and the appointment to Mr. William Austin be confirmed, subjectl to the question of the liability of thi s f un d to t h e payment o f her Majesty's debts. On this point, his H onour di recte d t h e .Counsel to examine into the authorities, for the purpose of ascertaining whether, as her Majesty, in her character of Queen Consort, possessed the power of incurring separate debts, her specific funds would not be liable for their payment? 'rhe case then stood over for this purpose. Some other cases were then heard, and his Honour afterwards said, that as the statute had . ordered the purchase money of the Crown Lands to be paid into this Court, he had taken it for granted that the Court had jurisdiction to order in what man ner the money should be disposed of. Mr. SUGHEN replied in the affirmative, and stated that a part of the fund had already been the subject of disposition by the order of the Court. il?
