111 E LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, June 3. [THE TIMES.] In the Moniteur of Saturday last, which we received yesterday, is the proclamation of the Duke of Angouleme on reaching Madrid (see another column of the SuN), and on the appoint ment of a Regency. The position of his Royal Ifighness is one which we think would puzzle the writers on public law. Ile pretends to con voke the Supreme Council of Castile: but what right, other than that of conquest, can a French man have to summon a meeting of Spaniards in the capital of their kingdom ? and conquest and its rights he disavows. To ths members of this Council, he says it is proper to trust or confide the care of choosing a Regency. But who is it that confides this important trust ?—A Frenchman. And what right, we again ask, to confide any public trust within the kingdom of Spain can a Frenchman possess, except he has first obtained it to himself by conquest ? It is evident, there fore, that this Regency is to derive .11 its attri butes from a foreigner—a foreigner who dis claims, also, for himself and those who sent him, all the rights which, conquest is supposed to confer ; and what other rights he posseses, he has wisely abstained from' attempting to explain. Ile says, however, that the French came as auxi liaries : if so, it is the business of those who called them in as such to summon the council, and appoint the Regency ; auxiliaries ought not to dictate in a foreign country to those who employ them. To sum up the whole, it is clear that the Regency, whenever appointed, derives all its powers from a foreign commander, and a foreign army ; and to act under such> powers is treason by all the laws of all the states of Europe. If Prince ]lilt has conquered Spain, let him take and enjoy it, and summon a Council and appoint a Regency, if lie pleases; but, dis avowing all right or conquest, let him not pretend to dictate in a foreign capital.—We believe that since the effect produced by what was so well foreseen, that it ought to have preduced no effect at all—namelj, the entrance of the French into Madrid—has subsided, the general opinion begins to revert to its former channel, or rather dwells with increased pleasure on the increasing difficulties of the invader's situation. The Duke of Angouleme'S perplexity is evident from his proclamation, which says nothing of his future views, but simply calls a Council to appoint a Regency of traitors. He came to liberate the King—is he nearer that object ? Why does he not tell the Spaniards that ho means to advance ; that Seville will be his next halting place : and that he will not quit Spain till he has set the King free ? We, on the contrary, are of opinion, and have the satiet ion of those best acquainted with the country for saying, that there is not the least reason for despairing of the affairs of Spain. [MORNING POST.] The first proceedings olthe invaders of Spain,, an their obtaining possession of the capital of that kingdom, Might naturally be expected to present some artifice more or less ingenious, in order to dis'guise their odious and unprincipled usurpation, under the garb of national forms and institutions. Accordingly we find that the Council,of the In dies and the Council of Castile, assembled at Madrid, have elected a Regency to act on behalf of the King during his captivity. We feel no common curiosity to know of what individuals these two illustrious bodies are at the present mo ment composed. Nor is our solicitude less intense to be informed in what secret places they have been lurking since they last pretended to' exert any influence upon the destinies of their country. The Journal des Debals describes these two Councils much more correctly than it pro bably intends, when it says, " that the Council of the Indies exercises the same' power over the provinces beyond scms, as the Council of Castile over Old Spain." We have no doubt -that thiir authority is quite equal over their respective jurisdiction's. The consciousness of moral dolor amity must have been the predominant feeling, and must have prevailed indeed to a most .painful degree at the instant when a veil So transparent as this was thrown over the act of the invader. At any moment when the more hardened, and therefore more appropriate feelings in the mental vicissitudes of an unprincipled aggression had the ascendant, the Duke d'Angouleme would surely have disdained a deVice at once so contemptible and so useless. The Duke d'Angouletne's Spanish Regency, for notwithstanding the wretched artifice we shall give it its proper de signation, is not indeed composed of any ma terials fitted to redeem in the eyes of the Spanish people the vice or the ignominy of its creation. The name of the Duke de l'lnfantado st:snds at its hed. This is a nobleman who has tilled 'high stati.nis, to no better purpose than that of mabin4 his defects notorious, He is conspi cuously incapable, unsteady, and unprincipled. His runt— in the great distress of the French for Spanish mi nes to dignify their cause, was pro bably a recommendetion. Yet his appointment serves rather to proclaim that distress than to conceal it. Ile. has been at a certain period a personal favourite of the King of Spain, and this indeed is the only circumstance which eau he plan sibly alleged in favour of his selection, although it is one not perhaps the best calculated to con ciliate the affections, to command the respect or to secure time confidence of the Spanish nation. The two names which follow Uext in succession, those of the Duke de Montemar and the Bishop...a Osma, require no distinct notice. We know of nothing in the previous history of those persons which qualifies either of them to carry arty accession of popularity, or to convey any, new title to respect for the invader who borrows their names. Here, however, ends the list of noble or exalted Spaniards, put forth after the invader has got possession of the capital,' to show how truly Spanish are his ob jects, and how far the rank, the intelligence, and the - ‘irtue of the country concur in them. As for the other two Members of this Regency, our old acquaintance, Baron d'Eroles and'M. Calderon, they are no recent acquisitions. Their elevation to the dignity of Regents of the -Kingdom, by the joint election of two such distinguished oo dles as e Council of the Indies, and the Council of Castile, strikes us certainly as an indication either that those august assemblies are somewhat deficient in discrimination, or that their range of choice was singularly limited. [BR/TISII PRESS.] Yesterday the French Papers of Saturday, with the Pilote of Sunday, and our correspondent's private letters, reached us by express. These Papers contain Angouleme's studied Proclamation, convoking the antiquated Councils of Castile and the Indies. They assembled at his summons, and nominated, it is said, the Regency, we men tioned yesterday, consisting of the Dukes of In fantail° and Montemar, the Bishop of Osma, d'Eroles, and Calderon. We again state our con viction, that the authority of this body will find no respect whatever through Spahi,except where the French act, as garrisons; there the sanguinary followers of the old system will be appointed as their agents ; and proscription, terror, and mas sacres, will be the certain train of consequences. Far from tranquilizing Spain, the certain results will be universal indignation and resistance wherever the mandates of this body are executed. Among other means taken to pacify the Spanish people has been a peremptory summons addressed to the former Grand Inquisitor of Spain, the Archbishop of Tarragona, requiring his immediate presence at the scene of operations, and to hoist, we suppose, the standard of St. Dominick. To do this prelate justice, he appeared in no haste to return ; he was living for eighteen months per fectly retired, at a charming country house, in the neighbourhood of Bayonne, and reiterated orders were addressed to him by the, detested junta, follosted by a final order to repair to Spain at all events, before he thought of moving from his retreat. Reports were prevalent in Pails on Saturday, that subsequent to the entry of the French Into Madrid, a desperate contest had taken place in the streets of the capital be tween the Royalists and the Constitutionalists, in which several hundreds ou both sides lost their lives and were wounded. The aufhenticity of the report is not vouched for by our eorres.: pouth.nt, but it was stated confidently in , Paris, and we do not think the dreadful circumstance at all unlikely. Party spirit ran very high at Madrid ; and the previous repulse of Bessieres and his followers would inflame it on the part of the Royalists, and lead to an attempt at vengeance. Rumours are also prevalent that a conspiracy has been discovered at Seville, in which the Bishop of Cordova was concerned, and the object of which as to carry off Ferdinand. Plots will now, of coarse, thicken daily. As yet we know nothing of Abisbul's movements, or his personal situation. Ile is even reported to be still in command at Talavera de la Reyna, on which Zayas, after repulsing Bessieres, retired from Madrid. There, it is still asserted, the Conde has his head-quarters, and has assembled a con siderable force. Should the French not nego ciate on favourable terms, Abisbal, it is said, will fight perseveringly. The reports of Mo rillo's defection are asserted to be utterly unfounded. The Spanish General had sold even his own property to pay his troops, and remained strongly attached to the Constitutional cause. Angouleme, it is said, is exerting every nerve to negociate. Our accounts will in a very few days be most interesting. Nothing whatever poLitive is known of the brave and mysterious Mina ; he baffles every calculation of his adver saries, and holds them in alarm throughout all Catalonia. [IdORNING CHRONICLE.] The great cause of liberty in Spain, as far as regards the relative situation of the two Armies, is much more promising than it Was six weeks ago. ---We assert. this 'not merely because the armies - of the Faith are melting away so fast, but because, now that we have had time to analyse the French Official Reports, we can affirm that never did a General give a. more false colouring to his operations than the French Ge neralissimo has done. Having once passed the frontier, it was as important to the friends of freedom itr Spain that he should be drawn far into their difficult country, as it. was to him to report t lu towns he had taken, or enemies he had beaten.— The Fort of Laredo for example, the capture of, which was deemed worth a Bulletin, we know to be nothing more than a ruined field work. It was constructed by the French themselves last war, and was so insignificant that the Spaniards took it and 300 Frenchmen in it, and then it fell into ruin. The garrison of Santana having i von their enemies from it a .. g,ain so easily proves what ire state to be correct. Saragossa was no fur tress when Pala fox defended it, nor is it one now. A beaten army of forty thousand men threw themselves hit° it ; fortified its couvents,churches, houses, and made use of the remains of its Moorish wall. It may be compared to Chester, in Eng land, which has an old castle ; and it is a similar old castle in the open town of Saragossa which the French are now pleased to dignify with the name of citadel. Segovia is no fortress; but it has still Gil dins' Castle, which the French actually held all the last war. Their entrance into Saragossa was no more, therefore, than their entrance, into Segovia, Logrono never has been a fortress since the time of the Moors ; and Pan co; ha, in which they boasted of having' taken C3llOOll, has no ,water but from a well com manded by the besiegers, which the French know to their cost, for they lost a garrison in it last war, after a few days blockade by the Spaniards, from this circumstance. If, the French captured any guns in it, they were such as we see used as posts at the gates of Greenwich flospitalp The. French have done nothing but completed the march to Madrid, which every body knew they would perform, anti without which they could not be destroyed. Their Allies are returning to their homes or joining the guerillas, and they will plunder a French convoy with as little compunction as they robbed Spa nish villages before. The operations in Cata lonia continue of the character we expected they would be under Mina; and by the late ac counts, instead of Donnadieu's finding him at Cellent, as he expected,Mina was at the moment marching on Maya, threatening Donnadieu's communication with Moncey at Gerona.—The French may have made traitors by their money, and there may be an anxious desire in many to avoid the extremity of war but their arms have done nothing physically, they have only put them selves in a position to be destroyed if they force the Spaniards to unite. [NLW TIMES.] In another part of our paper will be found the Proclamation of the Duke of Angouleme to the Spaniards previously to his entering Madrid.— The sentiments are almost verbally what we an ticipated in our article of the 2.3 d inst.; they are sentiments of moderation—of justice—of honour. Itere then is an answer, we will not say to the scurrility of those low-bred wretches who thought to disgrace Royalty itself by a miserable nickname, but to the apprehensions of a moderate distrust, which might not unreasonably have ex pected that his Royal Highness entering Madrid as a Conqueror, would wish to secure to himself some of the usual fruits of conquest. There is, however, an essential difference between a " true Prince" and such a vligabond pretender as Joseph Buouaparte, Who from a shelf the precious 4iadem stole, " And put it in his pocket. The Duke of Angouleme comes not as a Usurper, but as a Liberator. He puts Spanish authority into Spanish hands; and he does not even impose on Spain a Spaniard of his own nomination ; but refers to the highest lawful authorities the choice of aifit and proper Regency. The personal cha. motor of the Duke Del Infantado is a pledge, both to Spain and to Foreign Powers, of the moderation and wisdom of the new Govern rmmt. It will be ~ p articularly so felt in Eng land, where the Duke is personally known and esteemed, not only by our first Statesmen, hut even by Majesty itself. His mission to this country in 1811 sufficiently marked his pa triotism ; his constant zeal in the service of his King evinces.his unshaken loyalty ; his im mense wealth necessarily gives vast influence; and his amiable, courteous, and obliging manners deservedly render him popular. A better choice could not have been made for the Presidentship of the Regency. We may be quite secure that whatever the Duke Del Infantado does, King Ferdinand will sanction : and we also know that the Duke entertains a warm regard for the English nation, and a high respect for the poli tical principles of Lord Liverpool. Circum stances such as these are most auspicious for malutaining that good understanding which ought to subsist between this country and Spain, and even for enabling u.s to exert a salutary in fluence over the future destinies of that country. A s a sincere friend to his King and country, the Duke Del Infantado n ill certainly listen to any suggestions that our Cabinet can make for se. curing the true dignity of the Spanish throne, and the real liberty of the Spanish people. [mouNiNG ItEl;Ar.l),] It appears that the mitigation of our criminal code has at length been taken up by a Minister of State. The reforms, however, proposed by Mr. Peel are interesting rather as acknowledg ing a principle, and opening the way, than a s an experiment from which to determine the value of milder punishments. In point of fact he does ,but purge the statute-book of some sanguinary enactments, no longer. enforced. But even this is an advantage, if for no other reason, than that it will prevent foreigners frommisrepresenting the national character, which naturally enough must appear sanguinary to, any one not knowing the difference between the letter and the execution of the law. Another advantage is that one of the Bills distinctly admits a principle so long con tended for, and so long denied—the inefficacy, or rather the pernicious encouragement, of mere vain terror. The Judges, it appears, are to be released from the revolting mockery of passing sentence of death in so many Cases, where there is no intention to execute,it: Here is a dis 'fillet avowal that the mere capital condemna tion : was become a brutunt fiamen. There is reason to congratnhtte even the Judges, not only on their release from a most pain ful duty, without any good end, but from the direct effects, the induration of heart, which a too frequent familiarity with so solemnly terrible a ceremony as passing sentence of death, could hardly fail to produce. It is well known that passing sentence of death, for the first time, is a violent shock of nature to an English Judge —and no l e s s t r ue, that the criminal and the be holders ar e a ff ecte d i n proportion to the sensibility of the organ of the law. What is said of the mere pas sing sentence,and tile enactment relating to itwhich Mr. Peel proposes, apply equally to the execution. Familiaritydeprives both alike oftheir terror. There is also a Bill in progress for putting a stop to the abominable usage respecting the burial of felones de se—the more revolting that it was most par flan), applied, from tinie to time in the case of some desolate st ranger , or other unprotected being. But why stop short at this revolting treatment of the s en s e l e ss relics? Why not repeal the legal spoliation of the living as well as the dead ! This is the more imperative that Coro ners' Juries will henceforth find more scru pulously than they have done hitherto— their imaginations being no longer haunted by' the idea of a horrid profanation. But a breach has been made, and there is little doubt that the light of reason and humanity will quickly enter. It would be well that those Gentlemen of the House of Commons, who think they cannot safely tread any path without the guidance of the Ministerial side, should distinguish.— On political ques ti ons , p e rhaps, this is well, according to th e ex i s ting system of Parlia mentary tactics. But out of the circle of poli tics, the author of any measure should sway ac cording to the strength of his ,arguments and the authority of his talents without distinction of party. All h ve an equal interest in, and an equal sense of the efficacy and sacredness of the laws•best calculated to protect life and property, There are even reasons why the Ministers of the Crown should be in some measure suspected on such questions. They may set their faces against all innovation, because political affairs might not have allowed them time for present or previous study to judge the mea sure proposed. Lord Chesterfield has left it upon record, that a leading Minister may set his face against a most salutary innovation, even from absolute incapacity—at least from his being a man of narrow, stunted intellect. It was long before that accomplished Nobleman could bring the Duke of Newcastle, a man of fame and power in his day, to agree to the alteration of the calendar—although he placed before him the certainty of demonstration. There would, of course, be more difficulty respecting questions of moral science, where the same certainty is not attainable. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 2. MURRAY V. LORD STAIR. This was an action upon a Post Obit bond, given by the de fendant to the plaintiff's testator, for the payment of 2,0001. six months after the death of the late Earl Stair, defendant's uncle. At the late Westminster Sittings before the Lord Chief Justice, the plaintiff had a verdict. Mr. E. LAwits now moved for a rule to chew cause why the judgment should not be arrested, on the ground that there was no breach of the bond assigned on the face of the declaration, and this being a bond within 8 and 9 William 111. c. 11. s. 8, the plaintiflcould not recover unless a breach was suggested. The COURT thought the objection tenable, and therefore, for the present, granted a rule Nisi. DALE V. MEADOWCROFT. This was an action for a breach of promise of marrive. At the trial before the Lord CHIEF-JUSTICIg, at the Middlesex Sittings after last Hilary term, it will be recollected that the Jury found their verdict for the plaintiff—damages 500/. The particulars of the case were then fully detailed, In Easter Term, Mr. HENRY COOPER obtained a rule to shew cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground that the daturg:..s, under the circumstances of the case, were excessive. On a former day, in last term, the case was enllftl on, when it was postponed until this term, upon a suggestion that there was a prospect of some arrangement satisfactory to the parties. It was now stated that in offer had been made on behalf of the plaintiff, to take 3001. instead of 5001. upon security being given for the payment of the money._ This had been declined on the part of the defendant, who offered to'pay all costs and give the plaintiff 201. in pursuance of ax agreement which she had pre viously entered into, to be content with that sum before action brought. On the part of the plaintiff this offer having been refused, the rule for a new trial was discussed. Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. PHILLIPS chewed cause against the rule, and contended that under all the circumstances of the case, the damages were not excessive. Mr. Coopx4 in support of the rule, urged that this was not a case to justify the Jury in awarding such large damages as 5001. The COURT, adverting to the circumstances of the case, said that if they had been on the Jury, probibly' they would not have given such large damages, but the merits of the case on both sides having been submitted to the Jury, they were unwil ling to disturb a verdict which was the provipee of that Tri bunal.—The Rule was, therefore, discharged. 1" ARCHES COURT, JUNE 2. BEST V. BEST. Sir C. Ilmxsoar.—This was a suit promoted by Mr. Best, for cruelty by her husband. In 1819, a libel was brought in, contai n i ng 16 articles. They st a t e d the marriage in 1017, and that, sho r tly a fter she was oblig e d to le a ve her husband, in con sequence of the ill-treatment he exercised towards her ; on the 14th March, 1818, while she was sitting at her drawing-room window, lie struck her a violent blow across the breast with a horsewhip, which produced a great swelling; the next day he , placed a lighted candle under her bed, threatening to burn her and the house. She then preferred a complaint, in conse quence, to a Magistrate, when her husband for a short time behay.d rat h er b etter. Some time after he struck her across the head, and followed her up stairs, where his conduct became so outrageous that one of the upper servants interfered. Dr. Lusiim Tow objected to the course the Learned Advo , cate was taking. It was a suit promoted by the wife for au ' elty : the husband pleaded he did not exercise the cruelty al 'edged in the articles, but charges variousacts of adultery ut corn- nted by the w if e . Th e ease nad been tried in the C our t be- ' low, where it was found they-bad not established the charge. Ile therefore now contended the charge of cruelty could not bei gone into. After some further observations on both sides, the further hearing was postponed till next Court day. BOXING. BATTLE BETWEEN 11ARRIS AND YOUNA, THE JEW. AFTER TIIE EPSOM RACES, ON FRIDAY. Time was called, and a roped ring was immediately made under the stands, to a have a comfortable situation, in which the amateurs stood half-a-bull. Several elegantly dressed females were peeping from barouches, &c. A subscription purse of 101. was collected, when Harris, attended by his seconds, Hud son and Neate, threw up his hat. Youna, followed by Ward and Morris (a fine young man who defeated Gybletts) repeated the token of defiance. Harris is well known to the prize ring as a boxer of talent ; and Youna no stranger to the amateurs. The latter proved himself a very ti oubletome customer to Ned Turner in the best part of his day ; and Youna has also had a shy with Jack Ran dall. Harris d e f eate d Y ouna on t h e same tur f l as t y ear; but the Jew being considered in better condition at the present pe riod, and Harris rather out of order, Youna was thought to' have a go o d c h ance . Fi ve to f our on larris. The first twelve rounds were well fought, and much science was displayed on both sides. . 13. This was a very desperate round. Harris gave the Jew a Wier that shortened his length; however, Youna soon re covered, and came up to fight like a man. The Jew got away well; but in some heavy exchanges Youna at length took the lead. He ?lobbed Harria..severely all over the ring ; in fact, the punishment was so sharp, that Harris; in a state of distress, turned away. In closing both down, and Harris undermost 14: Equally good. Harris took great liberties with his ad versary's head. " That's the way, my boy," said Hudson, " you have plenty of time to shew the amateurs lots of sport; but remember that you behave in a Gentlemanly sort of way before the Ladies, God bless them. I never saw so many lovely creatures at a mill before." Youna put in a severe.body_ blow: Good counter hits. In closing, Harris down. Great shouting from all parts of the ring. "'Palk o f rac i ng ," o b serve d a hero of the first rank in lif e . " Itrhat's the Derby or Oaks compared to an out-and-out mill like this ?" 16. Counter-hits. The Jew was getting weak, and to make the matter worse, he received some sharp bits till he went down'. Tl.ree to one. 16. and last. This was a finishing round indeed ! Hit for hit all over the ring, and back again. Greater cotiraKe or more manliness aro never seen in nuy round by the best fighters on the list. Both quite exhausted. In closing Harris went down, and was undermost. We never. heard greater shoutin pr more applause at any battle. When ti me was called, the Jew, lay ing on: the ground, Oserved, be had received a /Wt, which prevented him fighting any more. It was over in 33 minutes. The Arundel and Portsmouth Canal, which was so happily brought to a conclusion on Mon day last, was four years in forming, and cost about 160,0001. The advantages calculated to result from this undertaking, will be of consider able local convenience to many parts of this county.—(llumpshire Telegraph.) The orchards and plantations in the neigh bourhood of Maidstone were never known 'to present greater prospects of a prolific season. There is scarcely any species of fruit but exhi bits appearance of an abundant crop. The dif ferent sorts of corn also look remarkably well, and appear likely to yield a plentiful harvest. The hap plantations are not so favourably re. ported ; the general appearance of them is weakly, being much eaten with the flea Sand in jured by the cold nights; the fly has also made its appearance in a few grounds.—Kentish Gazette. SINGULAR DENTITION.—A female, of the name of Mary Thompson, residing at Little Smeaton, near 'Pontefract, at the advanced age of ninety six years,hns, within a few months baCk, cut four new teeth. The last tooth perforated the gum about six weeks ago.—(Leeds Mercury.) LONDON M IRK ETS. PRICE OF BREAD The price of the 41b. Loaf is stated at 10-id. by the full priced bakers.

The Governors of. that. excellent Institution obtain ed advice-from the most eminent of the Faculty, and every means were resorted to without (metes& Galvanism was also applied, but its immediate process was equally ineffectual. On Fnday last, being exactly eight months to.a day, he retired to bed as usual, and awoke suddenly about 11 o'clock, making so much noise as to awaken some of his schoolfellows. Their astonishment induced so much alarm, that the nurse , opened the door of her adjoining apartment to learn the cause—when many voices exclaimed, " 0 nurse. Oldham can speak again I" The nurse doubting the fact, immediately went to him, and disco. vered the reality of this extraordinary , phenomenon. In the morning the boy had quite recovered his speech—and being asked if he felt any peculiar sensation,said he thought he was being galvanized, as he felt the tip of his tongue affected, loge.. ther with a rumbling in his inside. His school-fellows say when. they were first awakened by the noise that he made, his voice resembled the cry of an infant. Mr. Abernethy repeatedly prognosticated that his voice would return very suddenly. CONFLAGRATION OF Moscow.—An extremely* curious pamphlet has just appeared in Paris, written by the celebrated Russian, Count ROST oven nr, wto was Governor of Moscow when the memorable conflagration of that fine city took place. The object of the writer is to show, that whatever merit or glory belonged to that action, he himself had no share in it. " I overturn, myself," observes the Count, " the edi fice of my own celebrity." The narrative is highly interest. ing, and, coming from such a quarter, has all the authority of history. CURE FOR TI L E ASTUMA.—CIa six penny worth of camphor into pieces, the size of a small pill, and put them into a phial fbr the convenience of the pocket, and whenever (night or day) the spasmodic cough or nervous breathing com mences, chew and swallow one or more of these pieces, as the case requires.
