TILL LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Dec. 6. [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the 4th instant reached us last night by express. They are almost entirely filled with the details of the entry of the Duke 'd'Artgouloetne into Paris on the 2d, and the speeches addressed to him on that occasion.— Laudatory as these were, none of them come up with the eloquence, or rather the extravagance of the Quolldienne, which commences an article on the subject in the following matutier He is in the midst of us, the Soldier of the Tro cadero!--the warlike Pacificator of Spain !—the Love of the Army !—the Pride of the Country . ! true Son of France ! "—We extract from the Monitetir at more sober account of the pro e eedings of the day, which the Constitutionnel informs us were sullied by a wanton and barbarous murder, conurated publicly by a soldier of the Royal Guard, Within sight of the Castle of the Tuileries. An individual, eager to behold the march of the " Hero of France" through the gardens, had attempted to mount the wall of the terrace which runs along the river, when he was rudely thrown down by' the sentinel at . the top. A respectable young man, or rather a boy of seventeen or eighteen, gene rously took the part of the stranger, who had fallen hack on the pavement, and remonstrated with the sentry on his violence, which had ex cited general displeasure among the spectators. — The soldier threatened to shoot him if he did not immediately retire. The youth stayed, the mus ket was fired, and the ball streak him down dead on the spot., His body, after remaining two hours on the pavement, exposed to the view of the mul titude,' was at iengthtaken up by the Commis sary of Police of the Quarter of the Tuileries, before whom several eye-witnesses had been to make their depositions. The assassin was then arrested by the Garden Guard, and the Duke of Angouleme having been informed of the unfortu nate event, expressed the deepest regret at its occurrence. The same Paper states, that the Parish Priest who christened a child for whom Mr. Manuel stood good-father, had since uLceived an order from the Bishop of Meaux, to retire from his Diocese. [TILETIMES.] The Manitear and other Paris papers of Wed nesday, which arrived last night, are chiefly try,- cripied - with details of the entrance of the Duke of Angouleme into Paris. The Journal dew De bats gives, in a letter from Constantinople, a. description of the Treaty concluded on the With .of July last between Persia and the Porte. This treaty is founded on the basis of that .pf 1744. The following are the princi ,pal stipulations, viz. The country within the Turkish frontier, of which the Persians had taken poisession before or during the 'war, is restored, with all the fortresses, towns, &c., in their exist log state. The two PoWers hind themselves not to interfere in each other's states. Persian pH grims, passing through the Ottoman territory to 'Went and Medina, are declared from all "taxes and duties which have not been established by ancient usuage. The wives of the Persian Mo narch, and of the princes and grandees of his do minions, when on pilgrimage to Mecca or Ker. belnh, shall receive all the honours due to their rank. The two Powers shall each send to the Courts of the other an ambassador every three &c, The Greek, Kostolo, who was lately tried along with Madame Boursier, for poisoning her husband, has been apprehended as a vagrant, and is to be sent 'out of France. On Tuesday the Foreign Ministers paid their respects to the King, and afterwards to the Duke of Angouleme, whom the Pope's Nuncio complimented in the name of the Diplomatic Body. [BRITISH PRESS.] 'Wednesday's French Papers are filled wth the details of Angouleme's triumphal entry into Paris : that of Alexander into applauding Ba bylon was'never more exultingly proclaimed by his servile adulators than the French Dtike's is now dwelt on by the whole crew of Ultra writers, who heap incense on the wretched An gouleme. The surviving Marshals of Napoleon, who acquired their fame andlitles in fifty fields, follow in the train of the Bourbon, put forward as the conqueror of Spain. Angouleme entered Paris on horseback, with the Dukes of Ragusa and Reggio ; the Marquis of Lauriston, and a - number of General' Officers, forming his cortege. At the Tuileries he had the modesty to place himself in the Salon of the Marshals, and then 'took his place with old Louis in. the balcony, whihs the'troops passed before them. Paris was a crowded scene of reckless festivity. What a Contrast with the situation of unhappy Spain, to celebrate whose degradation and bondage these triumphal scenes'have been got Opt Such a con summation closes the days of `old Louis well, and is 'every Way worthy of the family of the Bourbons [moitetiNa tisttet!,,n.] Thereints leert a good deal'inserted of late in sonic of the XeVispapers relating 'to the present high price of coals. 'it is' stated that this high price arises from monopoly; that two or three of the rich coal merchants have laid their heads together, have pined purses, and have bought up the coals, Cu the moment of their arriving in theßiver. Trle Lord'Mayor has been applied to, and it has beep Stated that the coal brokers do not do their duty in returning the actual price of teals for the day ; and it is more than Insinuated,: that there i$ a contrivance bet Ween them and the . rtionopOlists, in 'order that the letter shall . more effectrially carry on their schemes of monopoly. This Is seine at the old "doc;trine . ne%vly revived. the Lord Mayor and the Parl4nrient are:called' upon to . 4o every thing ;- nothing. is to be left to itself to Work its own cure, Civic or legislative remedies are to be had recourse , to: . - A 'OW in "PirOjanient frir` ritgilikill64-en)Anatiiig front 'the citric itody of London ate : to stop these monopo. lizers in their nefarious proceedings. Cbals are to be kept down in price ; the public are to have the benefit; the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Com mon Councilmen, and the Parliament are to effect this—it is all for the public good. We should not be surprised if a Committee were to arise out of this wish to confer such benefits on the public. Committees are the nicest things imaginable ; for in general there are nice little secretaryships, clerkships; porter, and masterships attached to them ; many little liftys, hundreds, and two or three hundreds a year ; the longer such Commit tees last the better for the secretaries and others; and in generatsome lawyer contrives to be secre tary, or treasurer, or manager—no malter which, it makes him known, and out of the bub-bub he generally contrives to procure some business, or is lucky in adding to the number of his clients or if any part of the Civic Body stir themselves in the matter it makes them popular, and such popularity may possibly he the cause of their getting into Parliament, should a vacancy occur. LNEW TIMES.] It is a proud boast of the administration of justice of England that a person accused of the most heinous crimes, nay, one against whom an indictment for such crimes has been found by a Grand Jury, remains as much under the protec tion of the law us if his character were wholly unimpeached. What has just occurred at Hert ford exemplifies in a striking manner the truth of this statement. Two prisoners have been charged with an atrocious murder, a true Bill has been found against them, a number of witnesses are assembled, the prosecutors are ready, hut upon application on the part of the pri soners their trial is postponed for a consi derable time. Every reasonable person will re joke at this indulgence to the accused. If pre judices have been excited against them, those prejudices will have time to subside : if they have been restricted in employing necessary means of defence, those means will now be brought within their power. It is indisputably true that some parts of the Press have 'indulged in a latitude of remark on the case of the indivi duals in question, wholly, inconsistent either with justice or humanity ; but what consideration is there that such writers will not sacrifice to the sordid love of pelf ? At the same time candour must allow that the question relative to the pub lication of notices of crime is a very difficult one. —lt is physically impossible to stifle every rumour, it.is morally impossible to prevent all exaggeration in the report of facts. As to News papers their readers will not allow them to be silent on any remarkable occurrence. They must speak of it, or their very silence would be im puted to some corrupt and dishonest motive ; and all that they can do is to speak with reserve, and moderation, and fairness. In the case be fore us, it appears that there has been some misconduct in the persons entrusted with the collecting or recording of the evidence. They have, some how or other, suffered a great part of that evidence to transpire, and especially the confession of one of the prisoners. It is said that they could not help it, because the confes sion was repeated in the presence of a Reporter to a Newspaper. This brings us back again to the main question, how far the publicity of all investigation into crime is necessary or ad visable. Either the Reporter bad a right to be present, to take notes, and to publish those notes, or he had not. If he had, that right can only rest on the general utility of such publications : and for the sake of general utility the particular inconvenience must be tole rated ; but if there be no such utility mid no such, right, then certainly the presence of the Reporter might have been prohibited, his notes seized and erased before his face, or their pub lication punished. For our own part, we do not pretend to decide either what the law is in this respect, or what it ought to be : only we think it extremely desirable that some plain and intelli gible rule should be adopted, and that the gene ral practice should be made to conform to it. [MORNING CHRONICLE. 4 We should like to hear what a oble Duke, who deemed County Meetings farces, would think of ; tie proceedings which have just taken place at Hertford. The English Lawyers who delight in paradoxes, have laid it down, that Juries are capable of forming a most correct judgment in cases in which a great body of intri cate and conflicting evidence is adduced, and yet that a Jury have neither sufficient memory, , nor sufficient understanding to distinguish be tween any statements they may have read out of Court, and what they hear in Court,—that when horrible crimes, committed under the most extraordinary circumstances, excite no at tention in the neighbourhood, and form the subject of no "statement--tilat no opinion is pro flounced on thi , in till the public P ress * interferes, when all become instantly attentive—all read and circulate the statements conveyed through the Press, all begin' to decide as the press prompts them ;—that statements unfavourable .to indivi duals about to belried may be in universal cir culation in a neighbourhood, without in the least injuring them i while the same statements in a Newspaper are injurious to them in the higheit degree ; that he that tells his story first thereby obtains a pre-judgment, which will prevent the 'story of the other from having the least effect. 4 These legal pare• doxes never had more justice done them than on this occasion at Hertford. Mr. juctice Park with a grave earnestness that left no do doubt of his own sincere belief in these old=established and orthodox maxims of the law, in the very commencement of his charge, on Thursday, to the Grand Jury, lamented the disqualification from judging in which the sinful Press had placed nearly all the Court but himself. lie had, indeed, been obliged to mid the dePosi dons before he came into Court (which con tallied, we should suppose, some pretty strong statements against the prisoners), but there he stopt—g 4 r can assure you, with truth, that I have seen nothing connected with thiq Case, except the depositions, which were Sent to me when I wfis'aPpointed Judge of this Circuit (cannot, by-the-bye, the depositions be Sent to some other person than the Judge, that he may be rescued from all tendency to,prejudge ?), and that I have most cautiously abstained from reading one single word which has appeared in any of the public prints. I for one there fore may say, that as far as any previous opinion of the case is concerned (he formed, of course, no opinion on the written depositions, — it is only when depositions appear in News papers that opinions can be formed on them), a more impartial person than myself never en tered a Court of Justice." Mr. Justice Park has of course (as all Judges have always had) the greatest love for the press, the free press of this country ; but while he loves the press, he hates the pruriency and appetite for news among the people of this country (who, like the Athenians, are always desirous of reading something new), that is, he loves the Press, but wishes it had fewer readers, and he held up to it u mirror, in which it might view its dire offences on this oc casion. BOLIVAR•S ARMY, &c. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER IX THE ARMY OF BOLIVAR, DATED PASTO, JULY 4, 1823. " You will, perhaps, before this reaches you, have been in formed, through the Journals, of the happy result of our cam paign, by which Bor.. Ivan has finally stamped his fame, and made his name immortal in the history of nations. " It will undoubtedly be interesting to you, to be informed of the almost insurmountable obstacles we had ' to overcome, after all the unlucky and expensive expeditions against Quito and Posy), under Generals Narrino, Waldez, Torres, &c. nothing but the uncompierable spirit and perseverance of Bolivar, could have conducted the present campaign to such fortunate results. What follows may give you an idea of this . : from Popyan; which we quitted on the 12th of March, 7,000 strong, we marched during 25 days over hills, rocks, and other place* never trod by human feet, which were overgrown with bushes, trees, and even grass higher than ourselves, and through which no European pointer could possibly hive made his way ; we did this in small columns, wearing alpargatam, a kind of shoe made from a sort of DUtch rush, something like hemp, for the protection of our feet, which otherwise would have been severely wounded ; and we were also, from the same cause, obliged to wrap ox hides around the feet and hoofs of all our horses ; thus we proceeded, struggling under many . dif ficulties and wants, as nothing is cultivated in those regions, and what we had was secured to us through the care and pre ' cautions of General Eben (the same who rendered formerly great services in England and Portugal.) Though the'Eu ropean system of field tactics is not applicable in this coun try, this General is held in great estimation by Bolivar, on account of his unremitting assiduities in regulating and or. ganizing the armies; therefore to him in some measure the happy termination of the war in the kingdom of Quito is to be ascribed, and he is an universal favourite with all that know his worth. " After we had traversed a considerable part of the country, our march was rendered the more arduous, on account of the Patayans being excited by the' Bishop of Popyayan and the Monks, in their preaching, to murder the Republicans ; which actually took place; as the people thus incited did murder all they met with in small parties, and all the sick whom we were compelled-to leave behind ; and from the 12th March to the 15th June, our communication with Santa Fe de Bogota was by their means intercepted ; which circumstance gave rise to the rumour current at the time, that the army was destroyed, Bolivar conveyed on a sick bed, &c. &c. " While the different columns were concentrating near Pasto, on the 28th of May, General Bacilia, who commanded there, laughed, on seeing our advanced posts, to think that such a handful of men should have wandered so far from home ; but soon, to his astonishment, our army, headed by Bolivar, made its appearance ; he immediately summoned the • city to surrender, and gave notice that if it was not delivered up in a given.time, it would be assaulted, and every soul in it put to the sword. After a few days, our terms, were accepted, and we marched into past°, where soon after we received the pleasing intelligence that our tri-coloured ensign waved also on the walls of Quito, and that its inhabitants desired to see the Liberator. Thither General Bolivar immediately set oft' with his Secretary, two Adjutants, and General Bacilia, fol. lowed by part of the army. We sustained some lost at the taking of Quito. On the surrender of Pasto, the Popyan lii. shop, who had excited the people to insurrection, fell into our hands; but Bolivar generously.forgave and. said to hint, smiling, that he might return again to his 'Bithopric of Popyan, and preach a better Gospel, since lie was come too late to do mischief in Past°, and now the same man preaches to the Patianos peace, respect, and obedience to the Liberator, and friendship and brotherly love to every Republican. " The Patianos laid down their arms, and entreated .Bolivar to pardon them ; he did so, and spoke to them astfollows.:—' I forgive you this time, and will leave no troops in any of your cities to restrain you, but I will watch your conduct; should that be again traitorous, as formerly, and you wish not to be long to the Republic of Colombia; I will sendone of my divisions, and every soul, old and young, with the entire province, shall be giVen up to destruction, till the race or the Patianos be an. nihilated;and travellers shall exclaim, d under these ruins once lived a treacherous e people." " Bolivar has now left„ Quito, and gone to Guayaqun ; in , about eight days we set out to follow him, under the command of General Eben, who is ordered to march with 808 picked; men. We receive the half of our pay, .and the remainder, is . placed to our credit ; each soldier receives daily 11b. of fresh meat, 4 ounces of rice, 1 ounce of salt, and instead of bread, alb. of potatoes (as good as Irish !) or plantanos, or aracachas, or apia—enough for one man. " The above-mentioned aracacha is the same fruit, about which you wrote, desiring that seeds or roots might ,be pro cured for you, and I have already given a commission to send, you some of it. lam of opinion that this plant is likely to' thrive in Europe ; and here Itiend you all the intelligence I have been able to collect concerning it. it requires even less care titan our potatoes; it is .not propagated by teed, but by slips or shoots and comes to the greatest perfection in a loose , and SOlllewhardarnp soil. The shoots from' which the fruit, grows are placed, like our potatoe, under the earth ; the leaves resemble celery, and grow upwards about a foot; when the, fruit becomes ripe, the aforesaid shoots discoVer themselves close to the earth; they are then broken off, and used again for, propagation. " It is to my mind the most pleasant and .wholesome of all the earth fruits; the best quality of it is produced in the king dom of Granada, and .in the neighbourhood of Bogota. It is, prepared in various ways for soup, and cooked like other ve-, getables, dressed either with sugar or salt, and often intro duced at repasts as a dessert ; besides being frequently pre scribed as food for the sick, as it is nutritive and very easy of (ligation." We have always great pleasure in recording any projected public Improvements, and an im portant one to the town is almost certain to take place after the next Session of Parliament. We allude to the new road set out from the Shoulder of Mutton, at, the top of Marsh-lane, through Gipton, Roundbay, &c. to Collingham and Wetherby. At a public meeting held last week, considerable progress was made as to securing the requisite funds, and on application to Par liament was resolved upon, the measure being unanimously approved. This will bring the 46- tunes between Leeds and Wetherby to 12 miles, and easy road ; there are to be branches to Sea croft Green (a saving of more than half a mile from Leeds) and to Itoundhay Bridge : we hope also some additional opening into the town of Leeds will be hit upon, say Skinner-lune, or that vicinity (Leeds Intelligencer.) On Monday last, as Mr. likvxcs, sen. a student of St. John's College, was shooting near Grant• chester Mill, he slipped into the river, and en seizing hold of a bough, he grasped the muzzle of his gnu that was lying on the hank, which un fortunately went of, and shattered his left hand and wrist so severely, as to require immediate amputation, which he underwent on his arrival at Cambridge. We are happy to learn, that he is in a fair way or reCOvery.---(C;ambridge Chro. nide, Dec. 5.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. • COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Drs. 5. THE KING V. RADFORD. This was an indictment against the defendant, an Officer to the Sheriff.of Middlesex, for assaulting Mr. Lancaster, a Gen tleman who had formerly been in the army. The defendant was also charged with extortion in taking more as fees incident to the discharge of Mr. Lancaster, whom he had arrested, than he was legally entitled to demand. The circumstances of the assault and alleged extortion were stated. by the prosecutor and his son. The Jury found the defendant guilty of the assault, but the charge of extortion was not made out. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Drc. 4. THE rurnrnlCX.—(Further Account.) . This was a cause of seamen's wages, which has been twice or, three times before the Court. The men suing for the re. covery of wages, pleaded that in March, 1822, they had been engaged by the master of the Frederick for the voyage to Jamaica and back (out and home), at 21. 10s. each, per month ; and that on 25th of May, about a fOrtnight after their lir.: rival at Jamaica, they were discharged by the master with. out their own consent; that on being landed of a place called Old Harbour, they were compelled, in order to procure money to enable them to cross the other side of the island, to sell their clothing, hammocks, &c., at the greatest loss possible, to the negroes ; that on their arrival at Kings. ton, (Jamaica), they fortunately succeeded in obtaining a ship, in which they returned to England. Their claim was for the interval of time elapsing between the day in which the master had ordered them ,ashore, and the day of the Frederic* completing her homeward voyage. This claim was opposed by the owners, and principally on affidavits by the master, td the effect that these men having on the night pre ceeding the 25th of may, asked for their " Saturday night's allowance," (i. e. an extra bottle of rum), and he having re fused to grant it them, therapplied to his mate and his Steward, in his absence. Meeting with the same refusal from these parties, they became exceedingly refractory ; and on the captain coming on board. he was assailed with the most abusive language by one Brown, the ringleader —a seaman who had not joined in this suit. The captain told him, that if he waiedissatisfied, he had better leave the ship; to which the other men replied; that if one went, all would go. The boat was then lowered down. Brown and the other men got into it, and the Captain, fearing they might otherwise he tempted to run away with it, put two of the ship's boys in it, purposely ; the master further admitted that the language which Brown used to him was of so gross and insulting a character, that being extremely irritated, he could not now recollect with certainty what passed between them; that he had desired thewharfinger at Old-wharf to detain their clothes, . In the idea that when the fumes of the rum, which notwithstand ing his Inhibition they had managed to get and drink freely of, should be dissipated, they wo u ld - with the next morning return to their duty ; and finally, the master and owners pleaded that the men had worked a forfeiture of their wages by mutiny and desertion. This was the substance of the summary petition; and there was a large body of evidence in the cause relative to conferences held between the Proctors on each side, or rather their clerics, with a.view to the arrangement or compromise of the matter. Among other things, it seemed that the men had found a passage home in the Antelope ; and owing to the scar city that always prevails in the West India Islands of British seamen, the captain of the Antelope readily hired them at up wards f Si. per month. Now, when the clerk of the owner's proctor asked the men by what ship they had returned, and what wages they had earned homeward, in order to ascertain whether any offset was to be made upon the account, the proc tor for the seamen interfered, saying, " Don't answer ; don't commit yourselves." A delay of a week was. then asked for by the other party, in order that they might write to Liver pool to ascertain what was the fact in this matter, but this was refused. The consequence was, that the owners, in reply to the plea of the seamen, were obliged to give in an allegation and examine a multitude of witnesses; by way of proving the return-wages, &c. Dr. JENNER and Dr. JESSE ADDAMS, in addressing the court on behalf of the owners, contended, that far from there being now a claim for wages established, the men had forfeited those wages by desertion, if not by mutiny. They then sub mitted, that on the part of the proctor for the men, there had been something approaching to perjury ; for whereas 'it was quite manifest - lie must have well known that theyhad received; on the return voyage, 51. and upwards per month, he not only exhorted them not to reply, when examined by the other side on this topic, but allowed the men to offer to swear that they had received not more than 50s. per month. They therefore prayed that the Court would condemn the proctor, by •whose advtce, and through whose conduct, the mass of evidence produced in this cause had been compelled to be taken. in the costs of these most unnecessary and very expeneive proceedings. Dr. busuriotvrox and Dr. Donsow contended, that front the master's own admission, it was clear that lie had dismissed the men, and at least permitted, if he had not commanded them to go, not even making the slightest effort to recover them. Lord STOWELL gave judgment this day, finding for the claim of the men, according to the tender which the master had made, pending the negotiations between the proctors, but al lowing no costs, nor any of the expences for the clothes, &c., which the men had sold to the negroes. The loss by this trans action was more than counter-balanced by the advanced wages ' which they received on their home voyage. But the conduct of their proctor was much to be reprobated:; and his Lordebip, after severely animadverting upon it tlfrough the whole of the business, condemned him in the costs of the second allegation, and all costs subsequently incurred.
