TILE LQND9N JOURNALS. DAJLY Extracts from the Morning Papers, September 24. ENEW TIMES.] "apt night we received the Paris JoUrnals of Sunday: In a letter from Frankfort of the 17th it ‘ is said that the Emperor of Russia was expected in Mostow ,on the Ist inst. whence he would repair to Odessa, thCre to await the ar rival of the Courier from the Emperor of Austria, who to appoint a place for an interview with him . The Emperor of Austria' was to, 'leave Vitiana on the 18th inst. according to the ac minis. The affairs of Spain are naturally, sup posed to be the subject which is principally to engage the attention of the two Emperors. - • [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We are enabled to state , on good authority, that Ministers have received information of the ve.commencement of hostilitiel on the- 9th instant before Cadiz. This event is of great importance inaesisting us to speculate with respect to th e blue. Indicating as it does a firmness on the part of the Constitutionalists, we are warranted in interring that. they.haye good ground for, their confidence.—lt was stated in, a Morning Paper of yesterday, that Sir Robert Wilson. was at Gib. raftni on the Ist of the month.--We have occa. sion,to know. ihat our gallant countryman is really in Cadiz, and that he took an activ e part. in the negociations which pt eceded the re-com, mencement of hotilities. . . [THE TimEs.] : • . . There 7appears in the account s transmitted. through Bayonne, an official narrative of a victory obtained by Milans over the French army, con- sifting of 10,000 men, and commanded bx Moncey in person. The, engagement took pbtee On the 28th T ult., at Artafulla, some leagues N.E. of Tar ragona. it .Was maintained with extraordinary obstinacy on both sides, and was terminated by 'a decisive bayonet attack along the whole line on the part of the, .Spanish infantry, who broke the enemy and drove them off the .field—the cavalry of Milans ,pursuing them for several miles and in various directions. Milans makes the French Joss, amount to near 1,700 men, of ,whom 170 were priSOttertetitat of the Spaniards to some-1 thing more than 600, This was a battle as glo rious to the patriots of Catalonia, as it was dis graceful to the other Spanish armies. had the rest •f Spain acted with but an hundredth part of the spirit and honour displayed in thii single province, where would his Highness of Angouleme have been on the '2Bth of. August ? and what mystiticatiohs ontst.not the french Government have attempt ed, to_hide from its own subjects and from EU rppe the extremity of its disappointment and de feat ! Milans on this occasion, from the facts de scribed in till ,rapta.t, tritrA have . out-Qeneralled the French, as completely sa his brave troops out-fought thum. His name and that of the it iustriou Mims will have a splendid task assigned to them by history ; fur it is they only that can redeem from utter infamy a people whom so many slaves and cowards, and traitors, would, without them, have everlastingly, disgraced. [ultrrsu rims.] Nothing has coutributed so essentially' to the progress of corruption, and the increase of abuses of every kind, as the opinion which many have taken great pains to propagate, that no party is to be trusted ; that Whigs and Tories are alike regardless of every interest but their own, and that there is no difference between them ; that the former are aiming to obtain the seats of office, loud the latter possess them. If this representa7 (ion were correct, it would follow that all those bortheus and abuses of which we complain must be perpetuated ; and to look forward to such a prospect without hope, can have no other effect than to damp the spirit of patriotism, and to dis courage all its efforts to restore, the protective *0 practical blessings of the Constitution. The ordinary exercise'of wisdom would certainly lead to a very different mode of acting. If the public ~a re to be served, they must encourage and animate, those who would serve them. If the main body of the Whig leaders are to ho thus swept aside .from our estimation, and made to rant. with the couinion. herd of mercenaries, we must be content to abandon their aid, and to re sign all clain to their service ; it is not to be'ex pected that they will struggle to support our eights„that they may divide the degradation Which has sunk the character of those againit whom they have maintained them ; it is not to be asked that they, should fight with us, and for us, on the side of freedom, only to be counted, after all, in the same class with the low and base retainers whose designs they have opposed. Is it a use ful lesson to the rising generation, , to instil into them the notion that liberty and the love of our country, are mere ,pretences, at all times and in all men ? Can any advantage arise from giving currency to such a doc trine If those who maintain it take credit for soperior penetration, they deceive themselves ; it requires only a want of candour, and nn inca pacity for discrimination to arrive at this conclu sion. It suits those who would fain --•lteacti 'rho height of their aspiring, unoppostd. Nothing can square so well with their purposes as that all resistance should be given up, on the part.of .their ,opponents, from chagriu—on the part of the people from 4e90.15kr. [moamiaa POST.] Jt appears evident that the Duke of Angou }eine, as we have, already observed, either made threats which he could not realize, or failed in their execution. Another contingency is just possihle• Offended as he has justly been with the conduct of the Madrid Regency, he may be unwilling to carry things to an extremity with the Censtitutionalists. lie may , wish to keep a counterpoise which may prevent the encroach meats of a party already hostile to France, eve'n before it has reached the plenitude of power with which the total extinction of its rival would i n v e st it. However this may be, two-thirds of the present month were to elapse before any thing serious should be undertaken against Cadiz or the . Isle of Leol. Time it thus gaMed : the equinoctiitl gales are approaching ; the dissen sions between the French and the Royalists in Spain ere increasing ; and the storms of the ocean rind the tempests of human passions, will be mar shalled in their strength against the enemy, whenever he attempts to consummate his work Of injustice and iniquity. The Journal de,t Dtbats states, on the authority of private letters from Frankfort, that the Emperor Alexander intends to carry his present tour as far as Bessarabia and Odessa. At this place he is to wait for the answer of the Emperor Francis to the invitation which he has sent him to pay him a visit at the camp, of Bretzlarewsky, or in the town of Czarnowitz. Prince Metternich and Count Nesselrode are to join their masters wherever they meet, and they are to discuss im portant affairs. An " energetic negociation with the Ottoman Porte," is even mentioned. . But though it is represented as a secondary object, we have no doubt that if the meeting take place it will be the primary one. Now that through the subserviency, imbecility, and injustice of France the West of Europe is involved in flames, Alexander will not long conceal his designs on the East or delay their execution. If.the Em peror of Austria accepts his invitation, he be. comes his Ally ' • and that war which every effort of this country has been used to prevent from bursting upon mankind, will no longer be under the controul of the sense, the policy, or even the force of one single and unsupported power. [MORNING HERALF4I On Monday we alluded to ati .article ~ which appeared in a Morning:PaPer, on the subject of South AmeriCa, We'have since seen another on the same subject in the same paper; but it goes still further than the preceding article ; it ends with art but recommending our Government to acknowledge the independence of South America. We quote its own words, " A shield would then be raised before the New Republic, upon which the house of Bourbon would hardly dare to strike." We remember, previously to the French army entering Spain, that another Morn ing Paper recommended Mr. Canning to " throw his shield over the Peninsula," so that both our. contemporaries are familier with the same figure of rhetoric - . Mr. Canning was to throw his shield over Spain, and he is now to do the same thing over. SpattiOt SOUth America. There is one part of our contemporary's remark, in his last ar ticle, which is rather ,at variance %sill) what has been stated relatiie to :the South Amerlcao Re publicans having achieved the work of their in dependence, for it appears that Morales, one of the Royalist Chiefs, has, in a short space of time, been able lately to wrest from the Colombians, Maracaibo, Coro, and other places in their ter ! . ritory. Now this is in direct oppoSition to what has been slated as to Spanish South AMerica being almost freed from the troops of Spain. We give, as follows, the words of our contempo rary Many of our, intelligent merchants have wondered whence Morales could draw those resources which have enabled him, while wholly bandoned by Spain, not only to maintain !his footing in Venezuela, but within a very short . peri9d to wrest from the Colombians, Maracaibo, Coro, and'other places in their territory." This para graph, as far as it goes, sitows that the South AmeriCan Republicans have not almost annihi lated the Spanish American Royalist armies- 7 and therefore, that some of these colonies may come under the denomination of rebellious colo nies. Our contemporary calls upon the Mer chants of London. to hold a Meeting on account of the two French ships which have been seen off La Guayra, and it follows up such recommenda tion by advising meetings i n all parts elthe country. For our part, we sheuld have no objection to these meetings : on the contrary, we should like them to take place. But whenever the subject of war is to be considered,. we cannot forget the already too large unpaid war bill; and, in contemplating a future war, we cannot persuade ourselves but, that a large increase of taxation would be the consequence. We hope,.should these meet ings take place, that some of the company will `have the courage to start up, and, gently hint to :the Merchants especially interested, the conse quences of another war, previously to their advis ing the. Ministers the course they would_ have them ,to steer. Our contemporary,. in recminnending !vigorous exertions, always keeps out of sight the 'expetece and taxation with which such exertions would be attended. Meetings could do no harm, and they would, at,ell events,let the people of' 'England hear the argithients for and against the !policy of our ecknoWledging the independence of these new States, which, if carried into efrect, is to enable " Mr. Canning to throw his shield over the Sonth American Continent." Should the French, however, prOceed in their apparent determination of interfering in that quar ter,. then the' question . would naturally be dif ferent, and our Government would be justified in coming forward, which, however, wouldpro- Whig end in war, both against France, Spain, and not Improbably the Holy Alliance, whom we cannot help thinking would like to dispossess uS of our Greek Islandi, with a view, eventually, to divide our possessions in the East. If, unfor tunately, this question should eventually , plunge us i n to a war, we ',hope it will be -prosecuted vigorously, and that those-who' recommend that which shalt cause an expenditure of thirty or fifty millions aL.year beyedd the , present expenditure,' and if fairly provided for, should cause the taxation of the country to be .doubled,, will net at . the Same time put forth their customary cant, about "_Retrench - meat," " Economy," " gradual payment of the National Debt," " lamentable consequences of plunging a high-spirited nation into Debt," and so forth, for that would be like the coudtrytnan: in /Esop's. Fables, who hlew Wet and cold out of' the same mouth—in fact worse, fer he blew equally. But our contemporary boggles at .100,000/.. in, one breath, while he all but recom- , mends an expenditure of 100,000 , 0001. duo; . ther breath. For our parts, in case of war hap pening, we hope the Ministers and the people will have the courage to meet the expenditure every year, as it may occur, and not again have recourse to the Aisdraceftil' 'MOW of `rafilbg' the' supplies by means of usurious Loans. 'rho* can be no doubt.but that war would answer the pur pose of 11(14?ney 7 lenders, Stock-brokers, Under writers, and Newspapers, hut leis the interest or the people generally to keep from it, if it be possible. SLAVE TRADE. The Anti-SlaVery Society, in the; last Re port, after stating that Ministers had promised to take up the subject of slavery in the British Co lonies, gives the following as a generil view of the present purposes of Government on the sub ject : That the existing obstructions to manumissions, arising from stamps or fines, or other fiscal regulations, shall be removed ; That the slaves shall be protected by law in the possession, and also in the transmission, by bequest or otherwise, of any property they may acquire ; That means shall be provided of religious instruction for the haves, and of Christian education for their children ;—: That the driving system shall be peremptorily and entirely abolished, so that the whip shall no longer be the stimulant of labour ; That an end shall also be absolutely put to the degrading corporal punishment of females ; and that measures shall be taken to restrain, generally, the power of arbitrary punishment, and to prevent its abuse s;— That, the means of religious instruction being provided, the Sundays shall be given up to the Slaves for rest, recreation, and religious instruction and worship (Sunday markets being abo lished); and that equivalent time shall be allowed them, on other days, for the cultivation of their provisiongrounds ; That the marriage of Slaves shall be authorised, and sanc tioned by law; and that they shall likewise be protected in the enjoyment of their connubial rights. The Report adds— In respect to the proposal of causing-the slaves to cease from .being mere chattels, and, attaching them, under .certain modi ficattpns, to the soil, it was said, that whatever reform of this kind was introduced must be prospective only, as its retrospec five Operation might disturb the present tenure of property, and take away; in many cases; the only security on which money had been advanced. The question was therefore reserved for further cot - federation. The admission of theleatimony of slaves in courts of justice was also thought to be beset with so many difficulties as to re , quire a more deliberate investigation. At the same J ime, Government professed themselves friendly to the principle of admitting the testimony of slaves, , subject - only to such modifi cations as the interests of justice might for a time require. The propriety of relieving negroes and persons of colour from die operation of that unjust principle of colonial law which subjects them to be dealt with as slaves, unless they- shall be able by legal proof to establish their right to freedom, was ad mitted ; and it was sinified that further inquiry s h ould be made as to the means f ur granting them the requisite relief. It was also admitted to be desirable that no Governor, Judge, Attorney-General, or Fiscal,. nor any or the religious instruc tors about to.be appointed, should hold property in slaves ; and though it might be'unfair to give to this principle a retroactive ' effect, yet that there could be no objection to its being made to operate prospectively , . The only remaining points were, the granting facilities to the adult slaves to purchase their freedom ; and the liberation from bondage of all children born after a certain day. ln neither of these propositions have the Government When° signified their concurrence. Indeed, to the measure of freeing all children born after a certain day, they appeared to feel a more decided objection than to any other that had been mug.. Bested. 'Both the points were deemed of so much moment as, to render further information and more mature consideration necessary, before they came to a final decision upon them. In reviewing the resolutions adopted by Parliament, and the declared intentions of his 'Majesty's Government, the commit tee sea very abundant cause of .congratulation. They feel much gratified both by the admissions , which they involve and by the concurrent determination which has been expressed by his Ma jesty's Government and by Parliament, to proceed to the im mediate . redress of some of the existing evils, and to secure eventually the extinction of the very state of slavery.

'DEFEAT of Me 'FRENCH _in CATALONIA: [Received throngh Bayonne.] MADRID, SEPT. B.—. The Constitatioanel Ga zette of the 3d of this month has been circulrit. ed here with profusion, and has occasioned sorne arrests. The following is an extract from this journal:-- " Baivelona ) Sept. I.—HiS Excellency the Governor of thill place has just received 'a Ali.' patch from his Excellency the Commander-in- Chief of the Army of Operations, dated the Ist of this month, to theTollowing effect :-- " I hasten to inforM your Excellency that the National'armies are always victorious, thanks to Providence, which supports the just cause, and to , the ,brave men whom I am proud to command. After the various engagements which I had with the enemy on the 17th, 18th, 20th, and 22d, with the, favourable, result of which I have ac qUaioted you, for the satisfaction of the loyal citizens of Barcelotia;l resolved to effect a Move nient on Mint Blanc, charging General Lloberas to keep the enemy in check, who had taken up a position on- the Colema. My, intention was to give. some repose to my troops, to protect 'the . Convoy of the prisoners taken froth the eneiriy, and to inspect the works of Tetragon*. The enemy, but little chastised in the last attack, certainly took my movement for a flight, as if the Constitutional troops knew how to fly, and forced the division of Lloberas to fall back from St. Glens, St. Celini, and Artafulla. Being in formed of this movement, I ordered General LlObetas not to be drawn 'into an engagement, but ouly to keel') off the enemy tilrmy He punctually followed my orders, notwith standing the reiterated attacks of the enemy 'on the dayof the 27th ult. to which night atone put an end. I was very soon convinced that the French meditated a more serious attack for the next day, and prepared to take part in it, making a movement towards Artafulla, and at the same time ordering General LlObetits to cover the point of Vendrel, towards. which the enemy manoeuvred during , the night, desir ing probably to near the coast, in order to Seconded by till naval force. We did not per ceive lis fires during the night ; outs could light his camp. On the 28th, at day-break, the enemy developed his columns on his left at Artafulla, feigning to lean on Vendrel, the bet ter to disguise his attack on our centre and the royal road. I caused the ridge of Vendrel to be occupied by the foreign legion, which had covered itself with glory the preceding day, and by a battalion of the Asturias. My chasseurs, impa tient to engage the enemy, began the attack at the Hermitage of St. Felice, against my orders ; they were obliged to yield to him this fort, which was taken possession of by a weak battalion. 1 caused it .to be dislodged by the force of La Corunne, and ,this engagement led to the ge neral attack, The French and their infamous allies, to the amount of 10,600 men, commanded by their able Marshal IVloncey hi person, re connoitred and attacked almost at the same time our positions ; but, with an impetuosity not to be described, our brave 'men repulsed them with Un• - • paralleled bravery ; they • returned to the 'charge' —the positions are again contested—they are carried—taken and re-taken by, turns,--the com bat becomes obstinate and bloody, and continues with the greatest inveteracy for six hours,in con tempt of fatigue, and thirst and deeth, alid. the Moment of victory or defeat is . still uncertain ; this indecision, and the desire of General Lloberas, whO 'alreitcly had two horbes killed under him, induced Me to bring forward my re serve, supporting his division and mine by a bat talion of Asturias, and the sth of the Catalonians, partly'composed of recruits ; and I ordered the chief of my staff; Colonel San Miguel, to lead it. These two regiments, without waiting for the :orders of their officers, charged the enemy with fixed bayonets, broke his ranks , end'obliged hirii to retreat. " Our brave men, encouraged by this noble example, redoubled their efforts ; and, With cries of The Constitution for ever !'••••-• 6 Death to ihe French!' charged with the bayonet along - the whole line ; drove the enemy from all his positions, and spread confusion r in his ranks. Our cavalry then decitied,the . vietory ; charging and pursuing him as far as Delver arid Santa Cruz on one side, and as far as Saata Barbara and Santa Colomba on the other. We should have pursued them much further, but our infantry was exhaasted with fatigue. I think, however, that oar Guerillas have harassed him' in his shameful retreat. The result of ,this victory is, that we hin dered the enemy frem reconnoitring . our camp, arid cauSed'him a loss of 660 killed, 900 wounded, 170 prisone i rsond 100 :Mlles loaded with bag gage : our loss is not . yet ascertained; but Les- Ornate it at 2.50 killed, and 360 wounded, for Whom I implore the assistance of the loyal inha. filt~tnts. Note,—After which the account mentions the corps and dividuals who distinguished themselves, and makes a pompous eulogium on the foreign legion, which, in the various charges, killed a great number of the enemy, :mid took 50 prisoners, anions wham'are five officers. ' NEW DISCO . VERED MINES IN TRANCE.—There have. lately .been discovered in the environs of Cpnfolens, department of the Charente, and at Melle, in the' department - of the Deuic Sevres, se veral' guinea of Zinc and lead. The presence of a great mass of metallic matter has been ascer tained by a company formed to make experiments. 'Su - Ipilaf Of zinc 'and lead, in combination with silverihavebeen found and submitted to analysis by the most distinguished' chemists of Paris ; it has given from 3 to 3+ oz. of silver to the old quintal. Cadmium, a metal lately discovered in Hungary, lids been detected in these minerals ; the uses to which it may be, put are, , however, not yet very well known. These mines are not situated in a country where fuel is abundant apd, cheap. The Charente and the Vienne 'flow clo'Se by the spot where it is proposed' to - place the , r:rndchines, and the high road is not far off.',Some specimens of the produce of these mines.arenow to be seen in the Louvre, and some rich capitalists propose to work' them on a grand scale.—(Courier Fran pis.) BOXING. The fight between David Hudson and Neak the Streatham youth, as well as that between Stockman and Cavenaugh l took place yesterday on Blindeley FIRST FIGHT. Hudson's battles with Martin, by whom he was vanquished ; and with Scroggins, who yielded to his prowess, ranked him high as a boxer under 12 stone, and shewed there was no mis. take in the brotherhood between him and the brave Joshua.— David is one of the most lion-harted, darin g fighters that:ever faced an adversary—he goes up to his man 's head, and is diffi. cult to be choked off; but he has lost an eye, which is a won. derful drawback. Neal, or O'Neil, is of Irish extraction, and is a fine young man . more than 12 stone, and under 20 years of age ; he beat the Birmingham Hall in November, and proved himself a cool, collected, scientific boxer. The men entered the ring soon after one o'clock, and the affray began. Harry Holt and the phenomenon Ward seconded Neale, and Josh. Hudson and the veteran Tom Owen , picked up Hudson. EVen betting, but Neale had the choice. In the first round the men tried each other for first chance, and seven minutes were exhausted in getting at the first hit. Neale made it somewhere about the throat, in a fighting Phrase called Adam's Apple, the bulk in the throat. Hudson rallied, and some exchanges f hits not.very useful took place. Hud. son's hits were too short, and he was thrown a heavy cross. battock from a close. ..A. lame roundand tame one also; and Hudson was again thrown, and his friends called out that he had from six to eight Stone too much fat about him. 3. Ina conflicting rally both shewed first blood, but Hudson exhibited first from the right temple, and that near handed peeper the right ogle was'the blinker. There was much des peration on both sides, and Hudson floored his adversary in a rally, not with a hit but with something emblematical of courage. Even betting. 4. In this round, and the four following, the youth Neale Measured his distance well, and Hudson was playing the piper. David was too short upon his adversary, and with his execu tion (however daring) he could not get close enough to place his intended hits, and he was thrown in every round by dexte.. city and by superior strength. The 9th round was a prelude to a finish with Hticlatiti.— Neale turned to at him with give and take, at which Davidhad no chance. Neale, elated by success in enterprise, went in and won the battle off hand, in 28 minutes. , REMARKS.—Any thing further would tire a reader, as Hudson had no chance, with the exception of a hit or two is the ear, in the rallies between the 4th and Bth rounds. Neale had superiority in years, also in weight, science, and the gift of the knack of throwing. Hudson proved himself a very game.loser, and his punishment was severe. Neale came off a Winner with much exertion and trouble, and his upper works a good deal exchequered. SECOND FIGHT. STOCKMAN AND CAVENAUGH.—Our time will not allow us to give the merit this battle deserves; To those. itho. did not.see the sanguinary conflict between Gully and Gregeon at Newmarket, we cannot convey an idea of the present combat. To those who did see that battle, the present was an equal scene ,of slaughter. In the first round Stockman drew blood, which was not the case in a former fight when Cavenaugh won. The battle lasted more than an hour. Cavenaugh was kept bleeding the whole of the fight, and his adversary has had his share of the deluge too. The claret sent the seconds into wet ground, which re viving figures assisted all the way home without Sir Oliver's aid or the Lumley Gaff. BAPTISMAL IMMERSION OF AN INFANT.---Ott Sunday last, the 14th inst., was baptized by his father, with , trine immersion, in the font of Littleham Church, after the second lesson. at evening prayer, Fontelautus, fi rst born son Of the Rev. Prebendary Dennis, B.C.L. This is probabl the fi rst instance of scriptural and primitive mode of admi nistering church baptist!' since the Restoration. By the Apo; itolical Canons, neglect of trine immersion is punishable with deposition. It is recognized as the universal practice by the Council of Carthage, and other Councils. It is required by the original English liturgy, , and is rendered discretional by the present ; the rubric directing the priest to " dip the child.discreetly and warily," but in no ease permitting the Prevailing practice of sprinkling, or even of allusion , except on certificate of weakness :—" If they shall certify him that the child may well endure it, he shall dip it in the w a t e r / , Creetly and warily; but if they certify that the child is weak, it shall suffice to pourwater upon it." An unexceptionable provision was made for such ciao, by the decisinn of the Colin cil of Florence, in 1389, as to its being " indifferent whether baptism be administered in warm or cold water." Christ's and the Eunuch's coming out of the water—St. Paul's, four refs.. rences to baptism as washing, and two assertions of baptismal burial with Christ, concur in proof of immersion being the scriptural practice. The early fathers, liturgic* councils, rind the Salisbury missal, prove its subsequent continuance. AUu. ;ion was establiihed by Calvin's Cienevelie liturgy ; and asper sion by the Lung Parliament Presbyterian Directory.
