THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning i Paper's, May 3. [THE TimEs.] It is not often that we meddle with Court politics, the politics of nations constituting, ge nerally, a subject of sufficient importance to occupy our whole attention, and seize that of the reader ; but there is so curious a story now in circulation, that we must repeat it, and add a remark or two of our own upon the supposed facts which it relates. It is said, then, that not only was M. Marcellus received with marks of particular condescension at the Levee last Mon day week, but that the sincerest good wishes were expressed for the success of the Bourbon enterprise against Spain. 64 Tell your Master, I 44 wish him success with all my heart: he has my best wishes," or other words to that effect being used. Now we do not believe this story ; but what we should have to say upon it if it were true, would be, that it would prove the mind of the speaker to be in such a state, as must give much more sorrow and uneasiness to the people of England, than the gout, or any other bodily complaint, however severe, in the same person : for it must be observed, that the 'wish here expressed is directly opposite, not only to that of every Minister whom the King retains in,his service from his supposed approba tion of their views, but also to that of every other person in the kingdom possessing a sound judgment . and how could such a degree of ec centricity be accounted for upon ordinary principles ? Besides, what could the barren ish of even a King of England avail in such a case ? Surely, then a man in a right condition of mind, and occupying an elevated station, would have concealed the useless longing ; or if it had escaped from his lips, he would only have trusted it in some confidential bosom, not, proclaimed it where it was heard alike by friend and foe. Let no one exult in his intellectual attainments, or triumph in the ascendancy of his genius, for he knows not how soon these advan tages may be taken from him. Good God ! who would have . thought it ?—that the man who, in his youth, boasted that he had imbibed the poli fleal principles of Charles Fox, should seem in his old age to have taken the Duke of Bucking. ham for his instructor! or at least should be re. presented as uttering sentiments which he alone ) of all the English people, possesses in common with that liberal•minded Peer! No: the story must be a calumny : we once more avow, that we do not believe it. [MORNING POST.] We have authority to state, that there is not the slightest, foundation fur the unwarrantable insinuation in one of the Papers relative to the sentiments of a High Illustrious Personage on the subject of the present contest between France and Spain. T my.S .1 A still further advance took place yesterday in'almost every description of, funded property. Consols opened at 77j , and closed at 781 ; for which there appears no other cause than those which we alluded to yesterday, namely, the nego tiations between the two contending Powers, and the termination of all fear of this country being involved in the contest. The purchases made yesterday were very extensive.—Spanish Bonds under every circumstance continue to rise, and even to maintain their advanced prices with firm ness. They opened yesterday morning at 311.1 and closed at 33 1 i, exclusive of the Dividend. All other Securities have in like manner improved. PlttiS.] Never was munceuvring more apparent than in the late important debate in the Lower House. The Foreign Mini'ger was silent during two rights of invective against his politics, and only rose at a late hour on the third,at the provocation of Lord Folkestone, and when he found it impos sible to hold back any longer. It was known that en this occasion Mr. Brougham and the Minister were pitted against each other; the great con test between them and the parties who naturally supported them was, who should address the • House last, and thus take from his adversary the power of reply. The Ministerial Benches feared the caustic, vehement invective of Mr. Brougham, and they wished Mr Canning to close the debate and conciliate the House by the whole force of his eloquence. 'f he Foreign Secretary,, however, was obliged to rise, and he spoke against time : he was eloquent and impressive in the earlier parts of his speech, but be spoke for 3 hours ; he did so occupy the Ilouse, to exhaust its attention, and break in on Mr. Brougham ; and the whole latter part of Ids address was unconnected and weak. But he succeeded In his object. It was two hours after midnight when he sat down, and Mr. Brougham rose, after two o'clock. in ill health, exhausted, and to an exhausted House, on one of the most important subjects that ever occupied its attention. We will not say Mr. Brougham's reply was one of his greatest efforts ; it was physically impossible it could he so. He complained of illness. Ile looked ill; and, though in the best health, three nights protracted sittings must have wearied and worn out both him and his auditors, and he therefore rose under deep disadvantages. Yet when he rallied at intervals, and rose with his subject, he was most powerful and eloquent. EMOUNINO CiIItONICLE4 By a letter this day received from Spain we ream that the French have put the town of Vit toria: under contribution of 5000/. sterling, not. wit`hstanding all their promises to the contrary. (This is paying in good earnest for all they may require for their troops.) That the male part of the inhabitants retire from the towns and villages into the mountains, but do not join the F rench, -neither do the French find the strong places give up to them as they expected ; come. quently they have now a task, to perform which they little anticipated, arising from the failure in their attempt to bribe the Gover nors of St. Sebastian's, Pampeluna, Figueras, Barcelona and Saragossa. This failtire places ihe whole French army in a very hazardous situation, and accounts for Moncey and Mollitor not being up in line on the Ebro, as they must be in great danger if Barcelona and Figueras are not in their hands before they form on the line of of the Ebro. If they oblige Mina to re tire, he will of course join Ballasteros, and fell back into the Mountains, and very much harrass the advanced guard of the French army. The forces of Mina and Ballasteros can be little short of 50,000. Our Correspondent adds, that in every view the French Army must be in great danger unless they get possession of these strong places before they advance farther, and that if they either mask or attack them, their whole force must be engaged ; that they have not heavy ar tillery for the .siege, nor can they subsist horses (to bring it up), in addition to those required for the army, and that nothing can enable them to suc ceed but a rising of the provinces, which they have at present no chance of. We have good reason to give credit to our informant, who has the means of judging. Should the French find these diffi culties too formidable for their army, the Rus: sian and Austrian armies will immediately march to their assistance, which must 'of course bring on a general war in Europe, and pro bably Revolution in France. We understand the Cortes are confident of success ; indeed no man acquainted with Spain doubts it, if the nation does not join the French. At present no such feeling or disposition has shown itself, and should it not be manifested in a week or two, we believe the French nation will have to repent their rash enterprise of its Government. It is evident, from the French not having provided besieging ordnance, that they had calculate on the imme diate surrender of the garrisons in their march to Madrid. Of this hope they are now bereft ; and should they go on they must expose them selves to the most imminent danger, having no strong post to retire on. All military men (con sidering the nature of the country) look at this attempt to conquer Spain as the most rash imaginable, which nothing less than a genera, assurance of a junction of nearly the whole popu lation of Spain could justify. [MORNING HERALD.] , There can be, little doubt that the narratives of outrages in the South of Ireland, given in the Irish Papers, are somewhat, perhaps even consi derably, exaggerated. They appear for the most,. on the face of them, to be written by the suffering parties, who must be naturally dispoSed to overcharge the truth—not only from their situation as sufferers, but because their losses are made good to them by levies on the district ; and because spirited or successful re sistance has becotrie a recommendation to police appointments; according to the condition of the party. There is, however, enough of clear and unquestionable truth to show that the outrageous and systematic destruction of property has been revived to a melancholy extent. This renewal of outrages has been regarded with surprize.— The wonder, hoWever, would be if the evil had so . suddenly ceased. It is not all at once that those effectS can be eradicated or subdued, which have proceeded from a disorganized and vitious state of social and political society during a long period of time. There can be no doubt that the impulses and moral feelings of the lapouring pea santry Iwo great part of Ireland are greatly de based, and, it one may use the expression, in. humanized. But still it is not to be believed that any thing short of the extreme of wretchedness would drive them into the course of atrocity and desperation that krevails.--;- The traits of, hardened, if not ferocious des peration, recorded in the Irish journals, of several of these victims of their crimes', show that not only the lesser severities of the law, but death itself,' has lost its terrors for. them-- 7 A-ci rcumstance .of itself sufficient to prove how wretched is their condition. We are not, how ever, without better hopes of improvement, and not very remotely, even in the most disturbed parts of Ireland. qur expectations are chiefly' founded upon the language and conduct held at length by the landlords. They complain that, though they have lately shown every:indulgence to the poor—remitting rents, and leaving tenants in possession who pay them nothing, yet the lawless syktem of outrage and destruction aims at nothing short of takiiig from them all con troul over their property. If they exact even greatly reduced rents, or eject a tenant, upon however reasonable grounds, they are marked out as victims for depredation and massacre. This is a horrible truth. But, at the same time, this sudden indulgence, evi dently the effect-of terror—and the culprits well know this—cannot all at once seem a torrent of o retributive evil which has been so long gathering. The great object of these law less associations is to resist the payment of rents and processes of eject ment—and why ? Because the landlords screwed up their rents, and abused the right of ejectment, until the Misery resulting became intolerable. ,Their eyes at' length became' open. They find that, in attempting to gain too much, they have gained nothing. It is probable that an expe rience so dreadfully severe .will have the effect Of making them more indulgent, more liberal, more just and wise. If it' should prove so, - 4 great aMelioration in the habits of the people may be confidently expected. It is the prin cipal, if not the only source of improvement and tranquility. It cannot he too strongly im pressed, upon the landlord's, that this horribly visitation, however guilty, is the natural re action of their abuse of their,power—if, for no ether reason, than to prevent their relapsing into the old system of unfeeling severity and exaction.' THE DISCOVERY.—A gentleman praising the. personal charms of a very plain woman before Foote, the latter whispered him, " And why don't you lay claim to such an accomplished beauty ?" " What right have I to her ?" said the other. " Every right by the law of nations, as thejlast discoverer !"., An important trial," Lessee O'Hara v. O'Hara," which occupied four days, has been decided in the Court of King's Beoch, Dublin, by a verdict for th e d ef e ndant ; thereb y confirming his tide to the Crebilly estate, _in the county of Au. trim, which yields 3,0001. a year ; and upon the expiration of the present leases is expected to let for double that sum.

JUDGMENTS. THE KING V. CHURCHILL. The defendant was brought up to receive judgment, convict ed of a misdemeanor in making signals on the coast, near Folkstone, to warn a smuggler not to land, and thereby escape the Revenue Officers. The defendant was sentenced to be im prisoned three months in Maidstone Gaol. THE KING V. NORSTER. This defendant appeared on the floor to receive judgment, having been found guilty of assaulting a Revenue Officer, and with attempting to rescue his brother, who had been taken in the act of smuggling. lie was sentenced to be imprisoned six months in Maidstone Gaol. LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS, Johanna Hennay was tried upon an indictment, charging her with having, committed a misdemeanour in deserting her child,' in the parish of Cripplegate. 111 r. ARBIx said the prosecution had been instituted by the parish, which was shocked at the remarkable want of feeling in the mother, who abandoned the infant at night, in cold and darkness. The case was fully proved by Mrs. Mary Smith, the wife ofa publican, at the corner of Tenter-alley, Cripplegate. This wit ness heard the child cry, and on going into the street, found it lying alone on the pavement. She took it up, put it to her 1 breast in the place of her own child, and cherished it until the parish officers tendered their services. The prisoner said, in her defence, that her extreme poverty had compelled her to look about for an asylum for her child; and that she never had entertained an idea of abandoning it ; that she waited in the neighbourhood in which she deposited it, until Mrs. Smith appeared,'and supplied the place of a mother. The .Jury found her Guilty. The RECORDER, in his address to her in posing sentence, lost all controul over his feelings. Ile expressed the utmost abhorrence at her cruelty, and observed, that if the poor infant had fallen asleep instead of alarming the neighbours, the mother would probably now have to answer for the highest crime. T he inhumanity of Mrs. Smith was singularly contrasted with such an instance of desertion upon the part of a parent. [Here the Recorder burst into tears, and confessed his inability to proceed with the picture.] The sentence of the Court upon the prisoner was, imprisonment in the House of Correction for one year. A woman named Nathan was tried for keeping a most no torious and abominable brothel in Still-alley, Houndsditch. It was proved that the neighbourhood of Houndsditch was constantly disturbed by cries of murder and robbery, and that many men complained of being plundered of all their property in the prisoner's house. The prisoner said in her defence, that her house was an honest and proper place, and not at all a house for " ladies and gentlemen."—She was found Pally,. and sentenced to one year's imprisonment. A woman name Price, who keeps a house of ill-fame next door to that of Mrs. Nathan was also found Guilty ; but Mrs. Price was not such a veteran, showed some symtoms of contri tion, and was sentenced to confinement for a month. Her ser vant was sentenced to imprisonment for 14 days. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING, 1123. FRIDAY, MAY 2.

A COURT of ALDERMEN was held yesterday at Guildhall, which was attended by the Lord Mayor, - 17 Alder men, the Recorder, Sheriffs, and City-officers. His Lordship came in State upon the occasion of the swearing in two new Aldermen. His Lordship having made u report of the Election in Langbourn Ward, John Key, Esq. attended by several of the Common Council and princal inhabitants of the Ward, was introduced to the Court in due form, and took the oaths and his seat. The Lord Mayor then reported the Election in the Ward of Farringdon-Within, when John Crowder, Esq. was in like manner attended and presented, and took the usual oaths and his seat. Mr. John Jackson was admitted, and sworn a Coal-Meter in trust for the City. Thu Court were occupied at considerable length upon a report relative to the appointment of Receiver of the Orphans' Dues on Wine. Mr. Alderman Cox was appointed to the vacant situation. Precepts for a 'Common hall, for the election of Officers, were directed to be issued. Courts of Conservancy were appointed to be held for Essex and Kent on the 12th, and for Surrey and Middlesex on the 20th of June next. The Chamberlain reported the state of the Orphans Fund, when 13,4001. of the outstanding debt was directed to be paid off and discharged. The town of Liverpool was on Wednesday placarded with handbills, offering a bounty of four pounds for recruits who might be disposed to enlist for the Colombian service. In conse quence of this information Government sent off directions last night to have the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act carried into effect against any individuals who might be guilty of a breach of its'enactments. This act makes it a misde rneanou► ir, pesons either enlisting or persuading to enlist into the service of any Foreign Power. An honest German being told in his own coun try that Buonaparte was dead, shook his head, and said to hit informant—" Buonaparte dead ! Ah, you don't know him." Gaz.) A soldier, aged 25, was tried at Paris, during the French Revolution, for polygamy. He had married twenty six wives, and had as many ch►ldren. He was sentenced to a fortnight's imprisonment. G LUTTONY.—Titus Angles, of Darlington, has again shown symptoms of a voracious appetite, by devouringjive pounds and a half of old bacon, nauseous to an extreme. After finishing his re past, he was taken in triumph round the town in a cart, and afterwards ducked in the Skerne. A NEW METHOD OF THIEVING.—A fellow, dressed like a servant, called at the shop of Mr. KERNOCK, Surgeon, in Regent-street, West minster, and, in seeming haste, said he had been sent from Pimlico, requesting the Doctor's immediate attention on a Lady suddenly taken ill, and he was not to leave until the Gentle man accompanied him. Mr. KERNOCK desired the fellow to sit down in the parlour while he went up stairs to adjust his dress, but on his re turn the messenger had tied, having broken open the Surgeon's desk, and taken away be tween %V. and 301. in money.
