THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers ; August 2G. -.=..- . [MORNING POST.] " The Journal Cies Debuts, apparently solicitous 'to remove the apprehensions, or disarm the hos tility of the furious Ultras, has put forth a semi official article, in which it declares " that the Duke of Angouleme and the French Government will never treat with the Cortes as a political Body." Much joy is expressed by the few Ultras who believe the assertion, but by most it is discredited. However, it is clear, that should - the French Government have adopted such a .de termination, many means would be found of "eluding the difficulty. The whole would indeed resolve itself into a matter of form, and whether the negociations were carried on through the King, or as they always would be, in his name, by a Commission appointed for that purpose on the 34-dissolution of theCortes,the effect and the prin ciples might be the same as if the communications bad taken place with that body. If there be any truth in that self-dissolution, and in the appoint inent of such a Commission, both measures may have proceeded from a wish to meet the French Negociator halfway, and to enable him to con clude an arrangement satisfactory to all parties without any apparent breach of consistency. That an arrangement of this nature is anticipated with terror, by the Ultras, and with confidence by the friends of liberty, requires no other proof than the language used by the publications on both sides. [ xcw TIMES.] The Moniteur of Saturday contains a Dispatch 'from Marshal Oudinot of the 16th inst. reporting advices from General Bourck of the 7th. The latter General states, that having prepared his Potteries by the 6th, he sent a second summons to the Governor of Corunna, who, after detain ing the Flag of Truce for three hours, returned a negative answer ; and within ten minutes after its departure opened all his batteries on the French. A tremendous cannonade followed on both sides ; the town was set on fire in thr e e places, and continued burning when the courier came away. This Dispatch proves that there Was a great incorrectness in a statement in The 'Morning Chronicle (contained in a letter , of the 12th instant from the British Vice- Consul at Corunna), which asserted that "on the 6th the French made an attempt to take the town by storm, but did not succeed, lind bad great loss." That statement is also inconsist ent with a diary of events from the 2d to the 11th ; and which confirms Ceneraf Amuck as to the time the Flag of Truce was detained / and the short space allowed between its departure and the cannonade. It is most afflicting to read of the stilferings of the poor unfortunate townspeople, and to reflect that they are wholly to no purpose; fur most assuredly had there been the least chance of doing good by this resistance, neither Sir Robert Wilson nor General Quirogn would have abandoned the town in its extremity. We ceadily afford every praise to the bravery of the garrison ; but it is to be regretted that they are made the victims of gross deception. A Cor respondent of The _Horning Chronicle, who writes from Corunna, under date of the 10th, and of course' shares the delusion of the in habitants, says, " General Vego, the Go vernor of the place, embarked some time back for Vigo, to unite alt 'the forces he could, and move on the rear of the enemy; and from what I learn this morning every thing is going on well." Now we know / by accounts from Vigo itself, that so far from assembling a force at Vi go, to act on the offensive, the General found but a few men there, quite insufficient even to defend the. place r which he therefore evacuated, retiring to Bayona ; and by Marshal Oudinot'a dispatch, we find that llayona itself has since surrendered to Gen. aklorillo, umfer whom the garrison have agreed to serve in the Royal cause. The French refugees, who are mostly military men, and know something more of war than the Spanish Revolutionists, have all abandoned COllllllll. Several of them fled to England hi the' course of last month : but those who remained longer have not been so fortunate. Thirty-nine of these unhappy men, it is said,• were taken by a French cruiser, and will be made to answer to the laws for their treason in "bearing arms against their King and country. Some reports of the surrender of Corunna have' reached England from Ferrol; but they hitherto want confirmation, 011:11TISIE PRESS.] It now appears, that the document given in our columns some days since, as a decree of An gouleme', dated from Andujar, was perfectly authentic. it is published both in the Ministe rial and. Ultra Papers—the Joirrnal des Debals, and the Etoile—under the head of Madrid : 1)7 it the authority of the vile Regency was, as we then stated, virtually annihilated, and the whole administration of justice and police trans ferred to the French commandants. The Re gency has since been changing its t one .— The Madrid Gazette of the 18th contains a decree of this body, transmitted to all the Tribunals, and to all the Justices of the' kingdom, rotative to prisoners, and prohibiting all arbitrary arrests under pretext of public opinion. The de cree expresses a hope that the justice and mode ration of his Majesty's government will do more than terror, to correct the excess of imagination of those whose faults proceed from want of solid instruction and a good judgment. The decree then orders, that persons against whom proceedings have been taken on account of political opinions, shall be set at liberty. This decree emanated from the Re gency, not from inclination but from force ; their necessity, and not their will, consented to it. The French are stated (as we indeed anticipated), to have suffered dreadfully in the late en gagement with Milans and Llobera, in Catalonia. Tremelin's corps is said to have incurred great loss, and d'Eroies' division to have been nearly cut to pieces. ilostalrich is asserted in these papers to Wife been evacuated by the Constitutional ' troops, but the account comes from Perpignan, a suspicious source, and, wants confirmation. — The Journal des Debats of Saturday has an im portant article in its columns respecting the ru moured negoci4ion.with the Cortes r which is pro bably demi-official. This article, after alluding to Angoulerne's decree, from A ndujar, against the Regency, and explaining its cause, and after bespattering the Duke with adulation for his " patience," his "humanity," and his "courage!" states, that no political Constitution has been nor will be proposed to the Cortes ; that neither Angouleme nor the French Government will ca pitulate with Revolutionists, or treat with the Cortes as a political body. It is (this article goes on to say) for King Ferdinand to decide with his councils what ought to be done for the happiness of his people. 64 It might appear," it says, "attending to the articles published official ly in London, as if the French Government had thought the most proper means of terminating the disorders of Spain would be to grant an amnesty, and to re-establish the ancient Constitution of the State ; that is to say, to convoke the an cient Cortes. That idea," this article adds, " seems just and reasonable. However," the declaration, concludes with saying, " let us await events at Cadiz; a few days more of patience, and we shall know what to think of the subject." This, though intended to mean differently, is the real solution of the business : if Angouleme, by force or intimidation, by a shew of bombarding Cadiz, or by bribing a pore tion of the Cortes, with promises and money, can succeed in overthrowing the Government, he will not treat with that, body ; btu if he fails in both, and the surrender of Cadiz prove hopeless, he will treat with the Con stitutional Government, notwithstanding the declaration of the Journal des Debuts.. One thing may be clearly perceived, which is, that the tone of the French is greatly lower ed ; at first nothing but absolute submission would do, at the mere mercy of Ferdinand ; and the Constitutionalists were never mentioned but as traitors in arms against their lawful King , they are now spoken of very differently, and an cient Constitutions, and the assembling of the Cortes, almost promised. Cadiz will not sur render, and Angouleme must treat, and with the present Cortes too, or not at all. [MORNING HERALD.] The following is an extract of a letter, dated Madrid, 11th August, which was received yes terday :—" There is an understanding between all parties, that a Constitution is formed and agreed upon for Spain ; but it is in some respects so hostile to the present system of the Royalists and Clergy, that the French dare not venture to expose their plans, until the force in Madrid shall be augmented to at least fifteen thousand men. At present there are not here more than three thousand effective troops. The new Con stitution, or Charter, embraces the French and English systems combined. It is understood that the King will remain in Cadiz until the new arrangements shall be consolidated." We last night received the following intelligence front our Paris Correspondent :-- Paris, Aug. 23. (Vrom the Journal Toulouse - of the lUth of August.) MATARO, Auct. 5.--Yestcrday, at four o'clock in the morn ing, a brig of war,varrying several pieces of cannon, and hav ing on board a number of troops, quitted the port of Barcelona —it had under its escort several smaller vessels, likewise filled with troops. (It appears certain at present that the French are reduced to act upon the defensive in' Catalonia, at least the following extract from the JOurnal de Toulouse seems to indicate as much) : " Our troops are still before Barcelona. The Marshal seems to wish to allow them to recover from their fatigues. and seeks only by persuasive means to lessen the number of the enemy. —Once that the batteries are constructed, he will await tran quilly the attacks of the enemy, and continue, by his noble conduct, to hailten the general pacification of Catalonia." IlavoxwE, Auc. 14.—An Ordonnance of Police, dated the 3d ult., orders all individuals resident at Madrid, who have funned part of the _Revolutionary Authorities, to quit that capital in the space of six days.—(Md.) [MORNING cnnostcr.E.] The Journal des. Debate of Saturday contains a sort of official article on the affairs of Spain, which deserves some attention. The famous pas sage of Kin b ff Louis's Speech—" Let Ferdinand the Seventh be free to give to his people Institu tions which they can hold only from him,"- - is givens accompanied with the boast that the Royal words have not been forgotten, that no capitula. tions will be entered into with the Revolutionists or the Cortes as a political Todd. We can only repeat with the Journal des Debats :—a few days' patience and we shall know what to think. THE MADRID REGENCY.—AIthou4II the fol lowing Letter is not of a very late date, it de serves to be placed before the public eye as a sketch of the benefits obtained for the civilized world by the political system of France : MADRID, A tra. 6.—The departure 'of the Duke d'Angou lerne has left the Regency and its supporters at full liberty to abandon themselves to the fury of their vengeance, to which they no longer affix any limitation : they multiply accusations and prosecutions, and the result is a panic terror which has seized this unfortunate capital, entirely subjected as it is to the rage of priests, and the brutality of the lowest mob. Every night fourteen or fifteen individuals are sent to prison. These ope. rations commence nt midnight, so that when twelve strikes all those who have not given into the excesses of the counter-revolution begin to tremble, and expect the Akre& They cannot conceal themselves, for no one will compromise himself by giving an asylum to n Liberal, and the city is full of spies, who are paid in proportion to the dis coveries and denunciations which they make. The day before yesterday,; a married lady, win) suckled her infant of six months old, was sent to the prison of the Inquisition ; pester. day her husband 'took the child to her, but he was not per mitted to see her, and he, was obliged to deliver the child , to the gaoler, who handed it to the unfortunate victim. The ' fury of these cannibals is' chiefly vented upon women, and already several have been poignarded and dragged by the hair, in the middle of the street, merely because they wore ribb an d s , or shoes, or vests of a colour proscribed as liberal. Another calamity to which we are subject, is the crowd of'Monks whO unceasingly knock at thi doors of houses to demand money either to rebuild a convent, to make a fete for a saint, or to give the veil to a young woman. Misfortune to him who refuses' these demaiids. Public demands are also made for the army of Quesada, which is the eternal dishonour of ];ranee; for it is nothing but a band of .brigands (though skilful us such), and yet the French soldiers consent to serve with these unworthy companions. One thing worthyof observation is the hatred which is developed against, the English on-the part of the Re. gency, and amongst all its party, since the departure'of the Duke. The English are regarded as common enemi es , an d i t i s said every where that the French Government will not listen to any proposition which his for its basis the mediation or eve n the recognition of England. Bourdesoult, who has made overtures to the Cortes, has given them to understand that the English Cabinet is to be excluded from all mediation, and Ugarte, who is very proud of the protecti on o f R uss i a; h as officially stated to the Regency that the Cabinet of St. Peters burgh will make every effort to counteract the influence of Eng. land. Very late news has been received from Catalonia, from which it appears that the French begin to be discouraged and to lose confidence. The movements of Milano have frustrated all their plan ; and this General does not seem to yield to Mimi in courage, wisdom or foresight. Th e R egency is muc h i n . ceased against illorillo ; it does not wish to grant him anything but personal security, and neither the employment of General; the rank ; the honours, nor the emoluments offered by Bourck. ...(/bid.) [THE TIMES.] Letters were yesterday received through France from the friends of the Faith in Madrid, dated the 18th inst. To confide in all the state ments they contain would require a very consi derable share of that virtue to the perfect pos session of which the writers lay claim. It may, however, be true, as they state, that Malaga has surrendered, and Zayas submitted ; for that city is not a fortress, and we have had so many examples of treachery in Spanish officers, that it would be unreasonable not to have some fear of more : but we cannot give equal credit to the story of the people of Cadiz having shut the gates on the troops in the Isle of Leon ; for if an insurrection had such a result, there would be no impediment to the delivery of the King to the French, and we might have heard of his removal on board Ad miral Hamelin's ship, or to the French head quarters at Puerto do Santa Maria.—Riego, who was at this time in the Isle of Leon, could not, it seems, get back to Cadiz; but surely he could have no reason to re gret that circumstance, since if he had been in the city he must have been made a prisoner. At Madrid the Regency is obliged to submit to the measure which French policy has recently thought it necessary to adopt. The decree dated Andu jar is carrying into execution, and 14 persons had been set at liberty from the prison of the Court, and 23 from the prison of the city; Yesterday we received a packet of Cadiz jour nals to the 22d ultimo—a date which, under any other circumstances than those in which that town is at present placed, would deprive the communication of all interest. We have indeed had much later intelligence from Cadiz, but the papers printed there arrive so seldom, and so irregularly, that their contents may still be entitled to some consideration, notwithstand ing the tedious and circuitous course through which they must have travelled. That to which our attention is chiefly directed is the business transacted by the Cortes. It is, doubtless, int. possible for us to contradict the vague French accounts of what is said to have been done iu that assembly during the fortnight which followed the last sitting of which we have a report ; but assuredly there is nothing in the proceedings h e _ fore us to warrant the expectation of that unworthy despair of their c a use—that disgraceful submis. sion to the insidious enemies of their country and its freedom, which the Paris ultra journals ha ve attributed to the representatives of the Spanish nation. On the contrary, there is no diminution of that patriotism and that firmness which have constantly distinguished the Cortes since the in vasion of the Peninsula. Of. this the latest sit- tangs reported in the papers which have reached us afford sufficient proof. As the period for closing the session was approaching, several ma sures have been taken, in anticipation of that event. Among them we find, that in the sitting of the 20th the Cortes adopted a proposition by Canga Ar guelles to the following effect—viz." The proper 44 mode of indemnifying the nation and the friends " of the Constitution for the losses and injuries " caused by the factious, not being yet fixed, 44 and it being impossible to come to a de " termination thereon, during the short time " which remains for the pres - ent Congress, the " Cortes will be pleaSed to direct the Govern " meta to draw up a regulation to be carried ft provisionally into effect, but subject after " wards to the consideration of the Legislature." On the motion of Senor Ferrer it was resolved, 44 that during the siege and blockade of Cadiz by the French, and for two months after the raising of the same, grain and every other kind of provi sions may be imported, either by foreign or na tional vessels, on paying the last established du- ties." In a report on a petition, the. Committee of Legislation recommended the abolition of the duties called 64 decimas." In the sitting of the 19th, a constitutional question relative to the Royal assent to laws was discussed. The Consti tution requires that a law shall be pass(d or re. jected within thirty days after it is presented to the King for his signature; It had been referred to the Committee of Legislation to consider whether the time which elapsed during the re• moval of the Government was to he reckoned in the period within which his Majesty should give his assent to the plan of a law which had been agreed to by the Cortes in May last. Iliad this question •been 'decided in the affirmative, the King 'would in this instance, have been deprived of the po wer . of rejection ; for if his assent or refusal be not declared within thirty - days, the law is by the Constitution held to lave received the Royal Sanction. The ComMittee expressed an opinion, that it would not become the Cortes to take advantage of the extraordinary circumstances which had occurred ; and recom mended that other copies of the law should be presented to his Majesty, allowing him the da y s which remained to make up the thirty, after reckoning from the 19th of .May to the Ist of June, and regarding the consideration of the assent as suspended from the Ist of June to the date on which the new copies should be sub mitted to the King. After some debate, the Cortes dechieti, on a division of 50 to 25, that there was ground for voting on the report of the Commit tee, and it was finally agreed to without any amendment. Many c i v il and military -officers have given up p ar t of their pay and emoluments during the. war'. General Maya is one of the number.--(lttid.) SPORTING INYELLIMCE.

The course this day was thinly attended,' and the sport very indifferent. We were sorry to see so little desire among the farmers and members ofthe Yeomanry Cavalry to enter their horses for these cups, so liberally given by Mr. Fleming, with the view of encouraging the breed of this noble animal. 'the Duke of Richmond's horses, Steep and Dandizette, won five out of the six Races. They were brought upon the ground in most superior condition, and rode in the most finished style by 1 0 .11tiyce, of Newmarket. • The ordinaries at the Star were particularly well attended, amounting to 200 each day; the bat on Friday night was at tended by the principal families in the town—between 500 and 600 persons were present, and the Theatre has been well at tended. On Tuesday the Stewards commanded The fray to get Married, and Simpson and Co. 'The best acknowledoments are due to J. Fleming, Esq., M.P., and P. Breton, Lsq., the Stewards, for their great exer tions ; the former, for his munificent patronage of the Races, deserves the warm thanks of the inhabitants of the town.--. The Right Hon. Lord Palmerston, and C. Day, Esq. of Portswcsxl, are the appointed Stewards for the next year's Races.—The ' pickpockets exercised their vocation with spirit at the Race course ; 9,nd one of them contrived to ease the pockets of Mr. Winton, prowletor of one of the stands, of six pounds.---A gentleman, at the Theatre; on Tuesday evening, lost a-gold watch-chain A ,and seals; for the recovery of which a reward of five guineas is offered,—The same evening, at the Theatre, another gentleman lost his pocket-book, containing three ten ' and one 11.

On Wednesday, after the Races, a light took place on Shir ley Common between James Ward, the black diamond, and' Johnson, a llristolian, and friend of Neate. Ward was second ed by Isle-of-Wight all and Winterfiood, and Dick Acton and an amateur officiated for Johnson.—lt lasted seventeen minutes, in which time Johnson was beat to a stand still.— Another took place between Job Lee, an Egyptain, and an other young ruffian, which a dozen rounds aecided for the latter.—On Thursday, two.more fights took place on the course opposite the Grand Stand. The first between Weston and Cole, was decided in favour of' the former in twenty-three mi nutes by a tremendous blow on the jugular of his adversary, which sent him to dorm so effectually, that the spectators began to fear that a job was cut out for the Coroner. Ten minutes however, brought him to himself.-I.she other fight was be tween Zechariah Lee and Winterflood,'which the latter settled in a handful of rounds. Winterfioexi, it is said, has challenged Isle-of-Wight Hall for .50 guineas, to fight at Basingstoke Races.

PIGEON MATCH FOR A GOLD MEDAL, VALUE SIXTY SOVEREI GNS. Furzeley Heath, near Swallowfield, Hants, was the rendez vous, on Saturday, for some of the best shots in the kingdom to witness the Annual Grand Match for the Medal, between 15 each of the Ashton and Mid ham Clubs, with five picked men on each aide; at 13 birds each, which was decided as follows: Ashton Club killed 159, and Midghani 156.—The Mitlgham Club was rather the favourite at starting, and the gun was backed to kill each time at 2to I. Many bets were.pending one man's shots against the other. Other matches of less note took place, which occupied the whole afternoon. ROWING MATCH. Yesterday afternoon the River above Bridge presented a very animated spectacle ; the fineness of the day haring attracted all the admirers of aquatic sports. The match was for a beautiful Silver Cup, given by a Gentleman of distinction. The con. ditions were the same as in the wagers contested by watermen. The first and second heats they were to start from Waterloo. bridge, go through Westminster -bridge, return down the north shore, thr o ugh illackfriars-bricl ge , and up through the centre arch of Waterloo-bridge, —to be rowed by 6 pair of oars. The following, distinguished by the colours annexed to their names, started : Henry Airth, Timothy Neil, pink; John Barnesby, James nagens, light Nue ; Michael Barrett, Robert Anderson, scar let. The second heat was contested for by George Conway, Thomas Wiggin, orange; Charles Moore, Edward Brown, Allow; Paul Jones, John Gri ffi ths, green. Soon after three o'clock, scarlet, light blue, and pink started forafter a very exce ll ent c ontest, light blue came the in half-past four, yellow, green, an d I;range rowe d th e second h eat . t fi h r e st ars heat; tboat, consequently winners of the heat. At It was not so well rowed or evenly contested as the first. Orange came in the winners. Shortly before seven, light blue, orange, green, and pink, being the winners of the first and second heats, started to now ple last and grand heat ; the distance was the same , ;it the other hats, but reversed, as they rowed de*n instead of up,. and came in finally to Strand&lane. It was a very manly and efrrci tive struggle, and was won in fine style by orange. PLYMOUTH GRAND REGATTA. PLYmou'rli, AUG. 23.—Thursday this town presented one of the gayest scenes we ever witnessed here. The morning's amusements commenced with the Regatta, at eleven, at which hour the Hoe, which nature has form e d as one of the best s it ua . tions for suclia purpose, presented one mass of delighted people, exceeding in number 6,000, to witness the Regatta immediately below them in the Sound, the whole face of which was covered with craft of all sizes and descriptions. The three classes of prize -boats set off by signal, immediately after eleven o'clock, making the whole race in excellent style. The rounding of the standard-boats was performed by most of the vessels in a man. ner to excite astonishment of the beholders, and reflects the highest possible credit on the managers. The Regatta closed about four o'clock, when the following vessels were declared winners :-- First Class—Sylph, E. X Newman, Esq., 31. P. Second Class—Lady Louisa, Captain Lyons. Third Class—Amanda, Sprig, Esq., of Falmouth. Up to this hour did the Hoe continue to present a moving mul titude ; the sight of which from sea must have baffled descrip tion for grandeur, particularly as the ground rises in gentle ac clivity to a considerable summit. In the centre of the Hoe, either Nature, or chance-medley (in searc h o f li mestone ) , h as formed a del ightful amphitheatre, on which were arranged the excellent band of the 61st Regiment, in their full dress, for whose " enchanting sounds" the company cannot be too much obliged to the gallant Colonel Royall, who commands that much esteemed corps. --. The PORTSMOUTH REGATTA, if the weather prove favourable, will be one of the most splendid specimens of Nautical exertion that has ever been exhibited, the spirit with which the Owners of the Vessels and Boats are excited in equipping them for their respective matches, is deserving of every encouragement and praise ; and the arrangements made by the Managing Committee, we understand, are suc h, t h at cannot fail of giving the highest gratification to spectators, who feel an interest in observing the skill and intr e pidi t y i n which British seamen manage their craft, when they are sumu , lated to put their powers into action. And we have heard that, besides the regular Matches, the sloop-rigged boats belonging to his Majesty's ships, in number nearly a hundred, will be exercised on the days of the Regatta, within the same points chosen by the Committee.—The Ryde Regatta will take place on the 29th with a Ball in the evening. Partridge shooting will be very much delayed this year. The birds are numerous and strong. The landholders in this neigh. bourhood, We are told, intend putting it oil' till the 14th.— ( Brighton Gazelle. ) LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD. The price of the 41b.
