The latest accounts from BALLASTEROS' state, that he was at Grenada with 16,000 men. It appears by the latest advices ,of 7 the situa- Jon of SoTJLT and SI/ClItT, that they were near Chinchilla and San Clernento. The Usurper Jo- SEFI-1 was gone to Saragossa. Just befdre this paper went to press, we received Lisbon Papers to the 22d ult. of which the fol- lowing arc extracts :-- LisnoN, OCT. 20.—0 n the llth inst. the gar rison of Burgos made a sortie, and were re- pulsed. SoULT, it is now confidently asserted, is march"- ing towards Madrid, and a battle is expected. OCT. 16.—1 t is supposed, in letters of the 3d October, that Sovi.T would march by Jumilla for Almanza, and that SUCHET would protect him to llelkn. BALLASTEROS was still in Grenada on the Gth October. According to intelligence of fled ltli, from Se ville, SOULT'S troops were-in ,St. Clement. CADIZ,, OCT. 18.—On the 15th General BAL- LAST.EROS remained in Grenada. MIDRID, OCT. 12.7--The French have collected in St. Domingo (de Veloris) 50 horses of artillery brought from Castile ;, they talk there of the re treat of the intrusive King, supposing he would go to Pariipeluna, and that MASEN:7A continued in Btryonrie, where he was fortifying the points of St. Juan de Luz and .Orduna.

It has ).ieen. suggested that the Ir'hoie of the plot is a trick of Boo‘ L. s, wuo ,vished for an excuse to leave Russia, aatfat the.same time to get rid cif Gene rals MALLET, GUILLET, and LMIORIE. This.con jecture appears to us extremely improbable. It will require all the power and all the art of Buo- NAFARTE to induce his army to submit with patience to the dreadful sufferings to whiCh they will be exposed during a Russian 'winter ; it is not, therefore,, very -likely- that he would fabricate a sham plot, to put, as it were, the idea: of mutiny into the heads of his soldiers; and then leave them surrounded with distress arid danger. Besides, if BUONAPARTE wanted to destroy the three Generals before 7 mentioned, he had means enough of doing it,,without the exhibition of such an extraordinary scene, in'Paris, as, that of a: re gular attack upon three of the public offices by the national guard. The secret police would have soon - disposed of the three Generals without " noise, as it has done many hundred victims of the tyrant's jealousy or fear. It appears to us, therefore, in the highest degree improbable that BUONAPARTE would himself give the Parisians an exaing le •of a regular force embodiei against the Government,w hen he-could accomplish the object which he is supposed to have had in view, without risk and without danger: We: think, therefore, that there can be no doubt, that the insurrection in Paris, whatever may have been its extent, was' a real insurrection, and not one fabricated' by 'BUONAPART- , for any' purpose of his own. It. has been said; that the Moniteur. . would not have venture.l to take any notice of the matter, without a previous, 'order from BCONAPARTE, and that the circumstance of its baying been noticed in, that Paper is a proof that lie was at the bottom of the plot. This is, indeed, a strong conclusion from light premises : If the insurrection had broken out in a remote Part of France, the illoniteur might have -hem silent upon the subject but to attempt to keep that a secret from the people of Paris which hap pened before their eyes, would be too absurd.— With respect to the extent of this plan to , throw off the Government of. BU 0 NAP ART E , it would be idle to attempt to speculate,. with the very slight information which we have now - before us but we must repeat, that the anxiety oft-he French Government:to. prevent any intelligence from reaching this country, makes us think that.the attempt, was of a very serious nature.

This Nvas action brought by the Assignees of .Mr. Benjamin, Walsh, aim akrupt, to recover three ladiabonds of 5001. each, and the sum of: 11991; s.•7d. which the bankrupt paid to his brother, the defendant, as the haLtnce of a, private account between the parties, on the morning of the sth • of December last ; beaug the day on which, it will be recolleeted, 31r. lem alSla lett London for the„. purpose of absconding with the money, of which he he:l defrauded Sir Taoraas Plumper, the present Atturney-General. The-inoney was sought to he recoreeed be the Assignees, as paid upon the eve, a::d in contemplation of bankruptcy, by means of a voluntary undue. preference given to the defend - meat by the bankrupt. The evideuce as ao Mr. "Walsh's contemplations before his departure, with which the public are already so well acquainted, was gone through ; 'and hif3 letter to hisahrother -(the defendant), declaratory - of his motives tor ab senting himself from his hoinc, .wasadinlited hy . Lord Ellenborough as evidence, under the case Bateman v. Bailey, -5 Teem Reports, 5i2. ;Upon this - evidence, a contemplation of bankruptcy was proved as early as' the Yd of _December,. the day. on which Mr. Walsh treated with the silaersiaith for the doubloons, he (or his friend, as he alleged; Was to carry abroad with him, • The SOLICITOR GENERAL (\lr. Gaerow) fur the defendant, contended, that in this case there was sufficient urgency proved, from the defendant to " thebankrupt, to,hringit .within the case of Sumo v: Payne, t; T. It. 152. That action was trover for books, 'brought by the assignees cf a smell bookseller against Mr. Payne, ot the :iiews-gate, in Which it appeared that about April, 17‘23, the bankrupt being indebted to the defendant in seve ral sums of money, the latter happened acaidental- • , ly to call upon him, when the bankrupt iimformeil• him that he was afraiA of being arrested, for that a person had been to demand SOL which he 0 wed,and was. unable to pay. The defendant replied : that he feared the bankrupt was in a ball state, end he • would be ruined if he were arm ested, sioee. he would not be• able t 9 gat bail : the defendant, however, went immediately to a .friand in the ' neighbourhood, and borrowed 801, broeght it ' back to the bankrupt, and desired him to go and pay the debt directly. • Shortly after this transac e • tion, the defendant applied, to .the baukr.ipt, and represented to him, that he did not like to have the account unsettled, and so large a Sum doe to kin ,anti desired to see what books he could have out of the shop, in order to cover his demand; and admitted that he did not aek-for money; 414 he thought• he could not get it. The haellrupt , sheyaed him his catalogue, and he eelected the hOoks.in qUestioti at. prime cost, being such •as be, thought the bankrupt • could best spare- a - lay:mat impeding, the carrying on. of his business 5 ai r which books the 'defendant was immediately,pat in possession. The deiendantiarther admitted, that he took the books to save himself, and tliat he would not have taken them but tkat he was, apprehensive that he could get no money, and therefore he bad not asked for any ; an-1 he ati a nutted that he did not ptirchaSe the. books in or e , tier to sell theoe for profit, but to cover his• debt, as he was apprehensive 'of the bankrnet's eircuat stances. . Time act of bankruptcy was comautted on the 4th of July, 1793. The banhruptlialself was examined at the trial, and saly.e., ',hat the transaction between him and the defeit'dana wag without fraud, and that he did not' meditate any act of bankrnptcyat the time. Lord Kenyha, however, then haClined to think,_that upon the 'whole of the case it appeared, that the oiler of the .security was voluntary on the part of the haul:- rapt; and that the bad situation of his affairs was known to the defendant at the time he accepted of it, and he therefore recommended a verdict for the plaintiff; but the Jury found for .the deiendant, which Lord Kenyon refused afterwards'ao set 'aside, seeing no -reason, upon maturcr cousidera tion, to dider from . the jury's conclus:o9, atia thinking that he before laid too much stress upon the admission ma:le by the defendant, thet at the time.he applied to the bankrupt he did not ask 'for , money i because he thought he could hot get it 5 fol., 'in truth, the same observation might apply to creditors taking security instead of actual pay ment for their debts, and this also sheived (coa a i thmed his Lordship), that it was not a voltnatary• oiler on the part of the bankrupt, but that time se curity --was - given in „ consequence .of his being- • pressed,by the defendant, who was not disposed to trust hima any longer. Thus (argued the Solh citbr=General) in the present case, it had been provadathat the defendant had long wanted to • bring- the accounts between Jinn and the bank- ruin to. a settl&ment, as well to enable, him to Complete the purchase of a house in Lothe bury, 'as to satisfy his 'sisters upon what they had to depend from their father's estate, whose . acting •executoe, the bankrupt, was jointly : with the defendant." Three_ ,days before the act of bankruptcy,' the brothers were dining to. : gather, and the defendant took an _opportu nity of mentioning this unsettled account to hit., brother, who desired to take it home with him to • look it over. He did so, and questioned some of the items of it ; the defendant . eon Nineed him at last that the balance which he struck was correct,. and the'Aankrupt promised to' bring 'the amount of it the next day, which he .did by one ot the. 1000/. bank-notes,which he received trash Messrs!
