TIIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, May 8. [THE TIMES.] ;there surely never was a war that made so little noise, or was so little distinguished by events, as this present war of France upon Spain. It really almost becomes ridiculous. Not that Ole people of Spain must not suffer much by the unjtot invasion of their territory, but that so much more mischief must have been apprehended by those who had been used to the rapid move meuts and furious onsets of Buonaparte and his soldiers. We wish it to be recollected, that one of the temptations used to seduce the Spaniards to submit to the French Bourbons, was that by such submission only could they hope to regain their trans-Atlantic possessions; and it was by such counsels and such energy as is now used in the subjugation of Old Spain, that Peru, Chili, "Mexico, were to be awed into submission, or forced to surrender. We should in truth rather aoVise France to conquer the ultramarine pro vinces first, and having those in her hand, then let her offer them to Spain as a douceur, if she will take with them Ferdinand the Absolute, and the Inluis►tion. [MORNING POST.I We have been constantly told by the advo cates of the infamous attack upon Spain, that the state of that country, in which the activity and boldness of a rebellious few had succeeded in suppressing the ardent aspirations of the many for the overthrow of the new Institutions, justi fled the interposition of a neighbouring and friendly State ; and that all that portion of the Spanish people which could be deemed respect able, exalted, enlightened, or patriotic, panted for the moment when the entrance of a foreign army should relieve it from the thraldom in which it was miraculon , ly held by a party incomparably inferior to itself in number, in talent, and in virtue.— Upon the minds of men capable of alleging such an absurdity as the foundation of their reasoning, the most convincing facts can he expected to make hut a tardy and feeble impression The protecting and redeeming army has already been a month in Spain ; the attachment of the ex alted, and the loyal, and the wise, to the mild and generous rule of the Absolute King and the Inquisition, if it were before overawed into si lence, has had a safe opportunity to proclaim itself aloud ; if it were before dormant through apprehension, it might ere this surely have found courage to arouse itself under the shade of the French banners.

It is not with. mit surprise and disgust that we observe in the trench papers a statement unquestionably true, Which one would suppose could occur in no com munity but One of which the Government was despotic nod people barbarians. The fact is simply this : the Editor of a literary periodical journal was tried for a political libel, and sett fenced to thirteen months' imprisonment. — After having passed some period of his sentence at a prison where persons convicted of political and other offences, such as do not degrade the .offender' from his place and consideration in so otety, M. Niagallon, the person to whom we M- I11(16 was abruptly taken from his place Of con. ioement, dragged or driven through Paris by -mounted gots Warm, handcuffed, and chained to a galley slave, who was covered with the filth not. only of rags, but of disease, and who, as they traversed the capital at. mid-day, at tracted notice by cries of " the galley slaves foe ever!" 1111 d other phrases of still more disgusting impudence and debasement. In' this manner was he.conducted,. . .. in spite of h!* .entreaties to he allowed a carriage at his _ own charge, not only through Paris, but to a •il l ouse of Correction at Poisy, six leagues from .the.eapital.. Arrived there, his sufferingS were opt. relaxed. but increased: lie was flung among tfie,vilest of mankind, to whose confinement this 'prison was • exclusively devoted, stripped of his clothes, dressed, in ..the prison uniform of the - wietches with whom he was to consort, nod com. pelied,to perform the same drudgery of manual la'hour to which the wretches confined: there were stAiected for punishment and,refortnation. issoesirip elluon!cr.E.l The French already begin tO find that the con, (pest of the Peninsula with 100,0(X) men,although commanded by a descendant of : • lieu; l V., and a iikege , ,of the. God of,St. Louis, is.not so easy a rytter as they at first iinaginedi notwithstanding a3O the iidof a 1 0791 Itegepgy, armies of the, 1 ititty aid the prayers of bigots attki.fana.-j tics, liatit Prench and Spanish, whom the Pavilion Marsan have been able to enlist into their service. The fact is, the French and their friends have been over sanguine, and have totally mistaken the feelings of the Spanish population at large ; neither have the distances and natural difficulties of the country been taken into proper account. On entering Spain, the French behaved not only with the most studied politeness to the inhabitants, but also with rigid justice, affecting the greatest scrupulosity in paying for every thing they received, in order to establish, if they could, the character of friends, instead of foes. The experiment, however, has not succeeded. Where. ever the French overawe, the inhabitants receive them with a sullen gloom, and every compulsive demonstration of resignation is accompanied by mental reservation. The young and aged are alone left " to strew flowers under the feet of the French Generalissimo," the able-bodied men have either fled to the mountains, or joined their comrades in arms, to be ready to act when the signal is given. Even in the very ranks of the Faith are men pledged to the cause of their country, who watch the movements of the French, communicate with the Constitutionalists, and will join them the moment the invaders meet with a reverse, or the Treasury from which they are now paid is exhausted. The Spanish Govern ment formed a peculiar policy, as soon as they found the French were in earnest, suited to the nature of their country, and the strength of the invader. On this they are now acting, and the people, by the greatest sacrifices, second their exertions. `NEW TI M ES.] We yesterday expressed our earnest wishes that a moderate party might gain the ascendancy In Spain, and adopt those measures which the cause of humanity and rational liberty so urgently demand. Our wishe., sere not unaccompanied with reasonable grounds of hope. Even The Times quotes letters of the 111th ultimo from Seville, stating, that the Chief Members of the Cortes had held a meeting, and agreed on reconitnending . to the King a more moderate Ministry ; and the reason assigned for this step so exactly coincides with our own sentiments, that we gladly call it to the atten tion of our Headers. " This step,' says the writer, " has arisen from a persuasion, that the present men in power have acted imprudently in rejecting the mediation of England ; and that at the present moment Ministers must be selected who in cline to the policy of attempting an amicable accommodation with France." This, be it observed, is the first step taken by the leading Members of the Cortes on reaching Seville, which we were told was a place of safety, whence they would rouse the whole of Spain against the invaders. So far from this, it appears, that even Seville itself is in a state of great agita tion. It is proposed to remove the King to Cadiz, owing to some distrust that prevails respecting the Militia, and the want of harmony between them and the regular troops, in conse quence of which some tragical events are apprehended ; and it has been judged necessary to establish patroles of horse and foot both within and without the city."—So much for the una nimity of the Spaniards ! Even in the new seat of Govern ment, the Militia, who are violent Jacobins, are expected to come to blows with the regular soldiers, who are disposed in favour of the King. But if the civil authority is thus incapable or indisposed to prolong the warfare, we have been told over and over again of a grand military plan,' which was to insure destruction to the French. Hal lasteros was to fall back upon Mina, and both of them, valiantly contesting every inch of ground, were to retire in good order behind the Ebro, leaving all the strong places north of that river in the hands of resolute garrisons ; while the mass of the population in that part of Spain formed Gue rilla parties harrassing the rear of the French, and cutting them up in detail, until the united armies of Mina,llallasteres, Able. hal, and Morillo, recruited from the South and Centre, should find a fit opportunity to overwhelm the invaders.; it being posi tively asserted that the Army of the Faith hid been long ago entirely dispersed, and that Its fugitive bands would unani mously join the supporters of the Constitution. • THE COUNTESS DU CAYI4A. . . . PARIS, 'Mar 4.—lt may he interesting for you to know something of the history of this lady, if you are not al. ready sufficiently acquainted with it. I have therefore:extracted for your use the.follewing'particulars, from the .report of a suit which she instituted in. 1818 against .her husband, for a separation a tnensa a -Mara, and from a memorial drawn up by the CounSel of her husband against the judgment of 'the - Coto' iloyak, which decreed that separation :—" Count Achille du Cayla, her husband, emigrated - when very young, and joined the standard of the Prince de Cond4.- Ile return ed to France after he saw that the efforts of the Prince were likely to be unavailing, and in 1802 was married to Zoe Vic.. Mire Talon (the present Countess du Cayla), the daughter of M. Talon, lieutenant civil au Chateld in 1709. The 61'1)4 of the Talons is old in the history of the bar, and distinguished among the Parliamentary noblesse; and the fortune which Mademoiselle TALON brought her husband was by no means inconsiderable. It amounted to 300,000 francs, or 12,0001., and as her husband's fortune was likewise considerable, they were settled in life under very favourable circumstances... — With the joint contributions of their families, which were both noble and wealthy, they bought a property in the Nivernois, worth 450,000 francs, and bought, besides, a house in Paris, which theycontinued to occupy till the return of the King in 1814. By this time they had several children, some of whom are alive. The father of Count du Cayla, who emigrated at the Revolution, returned with the. Bourbons in the capacity of first gentleman of the Prince of Conde : and the bounty of the Prince on his re. establishment in France, furnished apertmersts to the whole family of Du Cayla in the palace Bourbon. There Madame du Cala resided till near the end of 1817. In July of that year her husband created a disturbance in the palace by his violence of temper, which furnished both a motive fort er leaving that resi. dence, and supplied one of the grounds of their future separation. Madlle,Talon, at the time of her marriage, was very handsome, very gay, and very accomplished. AVllether she gave her hus band grounds ofjealoasy or not, in the first years of their union, it Would appear that jealousy was earl,' the cause of domestic dis. cord, and that this feelingectingon a weak and irascible mind, had deprived him of his senses. Such at least is the conclusion to which we nkust, come, if we can believe the facts which Madame du Cayla alleged against Win as the ground of a separation ne. cesaary " for her personal safety. The following is the picture which she draws of her domestic tyrant By , a sort of oddity which belimgs to , his character, he can find happi. ness no where andeppeers to exist only to torment and render miserable all titan who ought to obtain and enjoy his affections. It is not saying too much to declare, that he is an object of terror and alarm to every, one about him, by violence and Ins furies , : nobody is safe against his abuse and his outrages. M. le Compte du Cayla :teems to have laid it down as a law to him• self to resemble nobody, With him every thing is , mania.— Hesgoes out, ankruns about the streets; nay, gees journeys in the night-time with : p art i cu lar pleasure .

The lady, after this pretty portrait, exposes all her griefs in succession against her husband. She had been carried byhim against her will from a ball, she had been called , names by him—she had even been threatened with personal violeneshe had been abused in letters which he wrote.to his friends, in. which he accused her of infidelities. On these allegetions, the Court decreed that " Zoe Victoire aion is and shall remain separated in body and habi. tation from Count Achille Pierre Antoine tie Bachy du Cayla, her husband—that he. shall be prohibited from haunt. ing or frequenting . her, and that, under such penalties AS the Court shall fix," St.c.: Madame du Cayla is dais st.li theivife of the Count, though living on a separate maintenance; and if the King is to have her in a left.handed marriage, as it is **id he wishes, he must apply. to the Pope for an indulgence, which, after tire good deeds doing for the church in Spain,. will not be refused.—Maelarne du Cayla is disliked by .the.

PERPIGNAN, APRIL 27.—Our troops have established them. selves in the town of Figueras, which has induced the garrison of the citadel to throw some bombs ; three houses have been destroyed, and some inhabitants killed. We have lost three soldiers. The enemy have made a movement. General Mina was at Olot in person on the 25th. Every thing gives reason to believe that our army will make a movement in the night, and that a strong reconnoissance will be pursued to-morrow morning, on the side of Olot. 28, EIGHT A.M.—Yesterday evening wagons were sent to Vilaton and Vigonet, where the division of the Baron d'Eroles is stationed. PARIS, MAY s.—Some of the Journals alluded yesterday to the brilliant fete given on the preceding day, at the Cha teau of St. Ouen, at which were assembled the great functionaries of the State, the Ministers, the Ambassadors, and three or four hundred persons who were invited. After the dejeune, there was a spectacle. One Journal stated that this fete was given by the City of Paris, but the Journal des Dibats of yesterday says, that it was the Countess de Cayla who did the honours. Beams OF THE DANUBE, APRIL 23.—Letters from Vienna state that the French Ambassador at that Court, the Mar quess de Caraman, has communicated to the Austrian Govern. ment the plan which France intends to follow with regard to Spain, announcing at the same time that it has already been approved by the Cabinet of St. Pctersburgh. It is said, that, according to this plan of operations, it is in tended to venerate to Madrid, to establish a Government in the name of king Ferdinand, to re-establish the Cortes according to the ancient form, and also the ancient Constitution of Spain ; having, however, regard to the difference of times and circum stances. As to any thing further, the conduct of Austria in Naples and Piedmont is to be imitated. The neutrality of England is considered certain ; and it would be witnessed with pleasure that she should hereafter act the part of Mediator. As soon as the Duke d'Angouleme arrives at Madrid, he is to occupy himself, in the name of Ferdinand, with the organi sation of a Royalist army, which is to be employed to subject Andalusia and Gallicia, and to bring back to obedienoe the Spanish Provinces which persist in the principles of the revo lution. There does not appear to be any intention of proceeds ing beyond Madrid. It is not known how long the French troops will remain in Spain to protect the new order of things, but it is koped their presence will not be long necessary.—(Nu remberg Gazette.) Front the Courier Franrais.l STOCKHOLM, MARCH 11.— It is publicly stated, although there has not yet been any communication from the Govern ment, that General Suchtelen, the Russian Minister accredited to our Court, has made (at a private audience) to the King, pro positions of a very important nature. lie has proposed,it is said, an intimate alliance between Russia and Sweden, to counter balance that between England and Denmark, certain secret stipulations of which are, it is said, not conformable to the views of the Cabinet of Saint Petersburgh. Coaru, Mancir 31.—The Turkish garrison of Corinth, which surrendered by capitulation to the Greeks, and which were to be conveyed to the coast of Asia, has on ly partly ar rived. A numerous corps violated the capitulation, and attempted on the road with arms in their hands to escape to Thessaly. After obtaining some success, this corps was at. tacked by the brave Odysseus, who repulsed them in the Morea. The Turks could not re-enter Corinth, which was already occupied by the Greeks ; they thee endeavoured to gain l'atras, but they were soon surrounded by their enemies, who put them all to the sword. Such is the substance of the official bulletin which the Greek Senate has published re specting this affair. nitres will probably soon share the fate of Corinth. PARIS, MAY s.—The Journal de la Cote d'Or contains a Circular, addressed by the Prefect to the Mayors of his district, calling upon them fur all their surveillance respecting the cir culation of news spread in the country:— " I tun informed ( says this functionary) that malevolence has renewed in this department a means of agitation, to which, wretched and worn out as it is, it attaches its last and guilty hopes—it is that of circulating in the country and amongst its inhabitants alarming intelligence, as absurd as it Is devoid of all truth. It is for ybu, Mr. Mayor—it is for your zeal to para lyse these last dints of an expiring faction, and, by making known the truth, to dissipate all vain terror, all fear, and all disquietude." A similar Circular has also been addressed by the Prefect of La Meurthe to the Mayors of his department. This.document inserted in the Journal printed at Nancy, contains the follow.: ing , passage : "rell those inhabitants who have been alarmed, the aruth and the whole truth, for the King's Government does not rely upon falsehood—tell them it is false that there is any reason to fear a foreign occupation. It is false that any new calls will be made upon the classes discharged by the law, or that any extraordinary taxes will he levied, &c.—tell them especially that our troops are not wanting in fidelity, that they are not deficient in courage ; and if other reports, equally erroneous and absurd, have been circulated, or are still propagated, op pose to them the same arms, the truth alone.

A corps of troops ar. rived in time to tranquillize the inhabitants, and to prevent public order from being disturbed by violence. The French were considered as liberators by the people, to whom the revo. lutionary yoke had become insupportable, and those even who were still disposed to heap upon them reproaches and menaces, have blessed the protection, without which they had every thing to fear from a first moment of liberty. " It is admirable, and almost incredible, that we occup y . one third or Spain, and that no act of reprisal has been conmutted. To be enabled to judge how astonishing this moderation is, one must see on the spot the state of exasperation, or of barbarous despotism, into which the Revolutionists had plunged the in. habitants. rxTuAter OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM LONDON, MAY 1. " The debate in the House of Commons, which has lasted three days, or rather three nights, has exhausted for the mo ment the great question of our neutrality in the contest between France and Spain. It is proved to demonstration, that nu per son in England seriously wishes for war ; that no party calcu lates upon that extremity, and that all the interests attach themselves to the Ministerial system. The brilliant manner in which Mr. Peel testified his adhesion to the measures and opi nions of Mr. Canning, proves that there is no longer any diffe rence In the Cabinet. On the other hand, the tone of modern tion and aitixted politeness which Mr. Canning substituted for an unfriendly coldness in speaking of the French Ministry, seems to indicate that the views of England and France respect ing the affairs of Spain are not so different but that they may be conciliated. The only difficulty is, as was said by Mr. Stuart Wortley and Mr. Peel, to know what is the opinion round which it would be possible to rally the majority of the Spanish nation. That there may he henceforth a centre of union in Spain, it is probable that the war may be terminated by an arrangement more [promptly titan was previously be. lieved.

This was a Writ of Error upon a Judgment pronounced in the Palatine Court of Chester, against -the defendant, who was convicted of wilful and corrupt perjury, and ordered to be trans ported for seven years to the coast of New South -Wales, or some one of the adjacent islands. Mr. D. F. Joss, in support of the Writ of Error, took several objections to the adjudication of the Court below. As to the form of the judgment, he contended that it could not be treated as any judgment at all, inasmuch as the sentence awarded was contrary . to the ancient and established form of Courts of Justice in pronouncing sentence of transporta tion, which always was Ideo consideratum est per Curiam ; for which he cited several authorities.—Next he contended that the judgment awarded was erroneous in point of sub stance, for not superadding some portion ofimprisonment, to that of transportation, as required by 2 Geo. 11. c. 5. Admitting the judgment to be erroneous, he insisted farther, that this Court had uo authority to pronounce the right judg ment, still less to order a procedendo to the Court below, to pass sentence in the form required by law. He then objected that the sentence was informal and uncertain, for stating the place to which the party was to be transported, inasmuch as by the late Transportation Acts it wasinatter for the King in Coun cil to direct to what place the party shall be transported.— Lastly, be contended that this Court could not amend the judgment in a case of this description, the punishment being discretionary, and the Court knowing nothing of the case, but what appeared from the record. Mr. LIT TLEDat.E on the other side was not heard at any length. he Cowt.r being of opinion that the judgment pronounced by the Court below was in fact no judgment at all, the proper course to be adopted wfts, to remit the case to the Court below in order that the proper judgment might be pronounced, and therefore a procedendo was awarded.—Judgment for the Crown. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 7. EX-PARTE ROCHFORD V. THE WARDEN OF TIIE FLEET. Serjeant l'Auottati showed cause against the rule ob tained on a former day by Mr. Serjeant Peel for the purpose of making the Warden pay back the sum of 11. 10s. The Learned Counsel then stated that the defendant in this case had only acted as his predecessors had done for the last 96 years, and that he now made allowances for the feelings of persons placed in prison, and suffering certain privations. (The affidavit of the Complainant, as already detailed, was here read.)-- The ground of complaint, their Lordships would see, was, that the Warden had taken 2s. 6d. for every copy of dis charge in twelve actions. The question, therefore, was whether the defendant was entitled to the half-crowns in question.— Rochford, in his affidavit, said there were only eleven actions, and this was a point for consideration. (The affidavit of the Warden was then read, denying that any abuse had been offered to Rockford, and stating that there were thirteen actions, but in two there were no detainers, leav ing eleven, to which was added a discharge for assault.—The fees received were the customary ones, and had been taken for nearly a century.) Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN then proceeded to read the rule of Sir Robert Eyre, and other Judges in 1727, authorising the fee of 2s. 6d. to the Clerk of the Papers for every discharge. The COURT here observed, there could be no question as to the fee—the question was as to the number of actions. Mr. Serjeant VAUGIIAN explained to the Court, there had been an undercharge instead of an overcharge, as there were 13 actions. The Warden of the Fleet was bound to appeal to their Lordships, as the matter was one of the greatest Import ance to him. Mr. Serjeant Pita., in support of the rule, coincided with all that had been said as to the character of the Warden ; but the question was, Whet6r the fees were Ifigal or not. The fee of 2s. 6d. was not in the table of fees hang up in the prison, and therefore was any person bound to pay fees not inserted in the table ? Mr. Justice l3t/1;11 . 0volt wished to know why the fee in question was 'not 'put in the label of fees required by Act of Parliament to be hung - up in every prison. Mr. Sergeant VAti.oitAx was not prepared to answer. Mr. Brown, the Warden; said there were two tables of fees, one for the Warden and one for the clerk of the papers, being two distinct lie had acted on the old system. Mr. Sergeant Pzi:r. contended that the prisoners had no right ' to pay any fees but thos6 in the table required to be put up in the prison by Act of Parliament. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, the Warden of the Fleet had acted quite rightly in claiming this fee, and therefore the queStion was, whether a fee could be claimed not in the table, and .that table he wished to see . . Be had been one who had bad the 'honour of recommending the present Wardin, although he had never seen hiM to his knowledge before the application. But his humanity, and the universal voice and public approbation had induced the illustrious personage with whom he consulted to make the appointment. Ile (the Lord Chief Justice) felt bound to say thus much. The COURT then ordered the tables of fee► to be laid before them, preparatory to giVing judgment. SHOCKING SUICIDE. --•~- . • An Inquisition was taken yesterday before Mr. STIRLING, the Middlesex Coroner, on the body of Thomas Elliott, Esq. a gentleman of fortune, and a great patron of the prize-ring,.sports, the turf, &c. The inquest was held at the hoot of the deceased, 39, Hun ter-street, Brunswick-square. Thomas Spencer, footman, to the deceased, stated that his master went to bed between one and two o'clock on Wednesday morning, and about eight o'clock a person called, asked if Mr. Elliott was within, a nd sans.eeremonie followed up stairs into the gentleman's bed-room, and he was soon followed by another—'These were a sheriff's officer and his man. They soon after retired below, and Mr. Elliott gave witness directions to procure a pen and ink for them to give a discharge to a writ of 331. 'ln a short time after witness heard the report of a . pistol, and he found his mas t e r had shot hims e lf on t h e l e ft s i de the abdomen with a horse pistol, which from excessive charge had ' nearly forced the lock off: Mr. Evans, surgeon, stated, that he was called in soon after eight o'clock yesterday morning, and he found the deceased dead, but warm, reclining in a chair with his shirt on only. There was a considerable would and laceration on the lower part of the' stomach, the effect of a discharge of shot. The charge passed through the heart and the lungs, and must have causedinstan taneous death. The pistol laid three or four yards from the body, and there was a short belt and • powder flask upon the bed. Mary Western had lived a year anti a halt in the service of deceased. II e was subject to pains in the head, and did not seem to know what he did or said. He used leeches upon his temples and medicines, agreeable to his own fancy ; he had been worse since a recent shock at the death of his mother, after which he kept his bed-room, and said every thing seemed to be going round ; he had lately been at Brighton, bat got worse, he drank freely and was irritable, and witness had often put razors and other instruments of destruction out of his way, fearing he would kill himself. His skull was fractured when a youth. The executor to the will of the father of the deceased proved that the deceased was not of sane mind ; he had been coerced formerly by a strait waistcoat, when young, and had been twice under the care of a keeper. The Jury expressed themselves satisfied, and returned a ver dict of Insanity.

Tuesday night, a shopman to Mr. FORBES, linen-draper, in Tottenham-court-road, put a night-cap on a .barber's.block, which he laid in the maid-servant's bed ; the maid going to bed last of the family, and seeing the appearance of a man's head in her bed, was so frightened that she dropped the candle, which set fire to the sheets, and the blaze communicated to her gown and apron. She ran down stairs in flames, and her cries alarmed the family, •who hastened to her assistunee and extinguished the fire in her clothes by rolling her in a carpet, and throwing a pail full of water over her; they then ran ,up stairs, and found the room all in flames ; with the assistance of some pails full of water, they succeeded in 'putting out the fire, but not before the.bed - and bedding and, principal part of the•furniture. were &strayed.
