THE LONDON JOURNALS. tXTRACTX MOM rn I/A ILY VlOUNtrig PAPERS, l'ebruary 19, 1813. [THE ?DIU.) A vote for 25,0(10 seamen is to he proposed, it l!aid, for the present year. The vote of last year 14$ for '21,000, and that of 182,0 for 23,000. The increase, when applied to our naval force, of 4itsich rio' one can be jealous, is of compara tively tittle moment. However, the fact of the increase having been ascertained, a vague rumour went abroad that Ministers were on the point of augmenting the navy, as if some mighty change were contemplated. For ourselves, we should not 'be: sorry if certain preparatives to assist the about io,be.oppressed Spaniards were cloaked under other pretences ; but the general state of the mari time world, if we may use such an expression, will satisfactorily account for so small an increase as thi‘tapec.ified, without its being imagined that a war is about to commence. The affairs of Turkey and the. Greeks ;—the.improvement of oar defective proceedings in the West Indies, — some extension,' it is said, of the preventive system en,our own coasts, together with the late transfer ofthe Post-office duty to the King's ships, are ate reasons assigned for the additional number la men. [NSW TINES.] We entertain the most sincere respect for those distinguished Characters, who, while they manfully•resist the establishment of such a COTI.• stil,ntion as that of Spain in England, contend with no less firmness against any hostile aggres sim on Spain for her adoption of that Con stitution. 'lt is the right of the Spanish nation to make what etperiments in liberty they please ; and so long as they keep those expe ;intents to themselves, and are at peace among themselves, no Power on earth has a right to in terfere with them, Upon these principles there will be, in England at least, no question. But we are told that the French Government avows and acts upon opposite principles towards Spain, and that therefore we ought to go to war with France. Certainly the class of Statesmen to whom we firstadverted, do not leap so rashly t 6 their conclusions. They say, on the contrary, that it is their most anxious wish to maintain neutrality, so long as it can be maintained with opt sacrificing the honour and interests of the c*O4lntry. No ; the impatient clamourers for'war are the sworn enemies of our Constitution, the Dastards, who crouched and whined at the up lifted sword of Buonaparte, and called our op gosition to his invasion of Spain a madness. This iithe English War-faction of the present day. It would not necessarily follow, if France were Wrong in the present instance, that we ought to involve nurS-elves iu hostilities, not only with her, liut with the whole Continent. But we admit, thlit if she entertained such iniquitous designs as are attributed to her, it might be heroic in us at once to draw the sword , -to encounter (as we must iii that Cage encounter) all the Monarchies of the Continent—to fraternise (as in that case we must fraternise) with Jacobins and Carbonari, Descattisedos and,,Radical Reformers—to sacri fice our comtuerce—to paralyse our manufactur• lag industry—to sharpen our agricultural distress double our taxation—to annihilate our credit. [MORNING CIIRONICLE. An amusing instance of the extent to whic some people carry their notions of vested in rerests occurred in the House last night. The , original constitution of the Irish Militia differed from that of the English in this, that in the latter, when not called out, a small number of Officers only was employed, whereas in the former all ' t he Officers were retained. Colonel Bagwell conceived that the Militia of Ireland ought to be as sacred as the Boroughs of England, And contended' that the State must continue in all time coming to accept of the service of the Offtcers and Privates of this Militia, whether it had or had not occasion for them. The Militia had been constituted by Act of Parliament, and therefore it was to be held a permanent esta blishment! We were not before aware that the Militia end the Clergy were on the same footing. We know that, with respect to the Treaty of *Union between Church and State, various opi nions are entertained ; and that as the Church is always put first, it has often been supposed the more important of the two parties, and has as good a right to dispose of the State as the State has to dispose of the Church ; and we sup posed it was for this reason that we heard every day of the right of the Church to its pro perty being better than that of any private indi vidual to his. But we did not know that the Irish militia, being not the equal of the State, 'was entitled to urge the mere fact of its exist ence as a right to its perpetual existence. A short discussion took place on the balances in the hands of the Bank and the rate at which it was paid, w►hicb Mr. Grenfell, to whose exer tions on this subject the public are so much in debted, contended was still greatly too high. [MOIMING HERALD.] ft is not easy to say any thing new upon the French aggression on Spain,indefatigably threshed stud' turned as that question has been on all sides, and by alt parties. It is best to wait until some change of aspect appears. There is nothing of this kind in the recent accounts from Paris. If there be any thing worth remarking, it is the singular con trast between the eager and menacing language of the French Government, and the sloth and dilatoriness of its acts. Who did not expect that the. Duke of Angouleme would leave i'aris in twenty-four hours after the King , of France's keech ? Yet in Paris he still continues, and Ms departure seems as indefinite as it did three weekii since. It is said that the Minister tole still dreads the depth whiclr he has pledge, himself' to' try, and stands hesitating and shiver lug on the brink. lie has double reason to tram. 13je, DO only because he stakes the fortunes of the Dynasty which be Serves, but still more xu ear ly, for hi; own fate. The Bourbons in France may survive the failure of the invasion. — Not only failure, but a mere check at the outset, ruins the Minister. The French arm y must gain victories, to satisfy the high hopes of the Ultra party. They must even snake every field a field of carnage, to satisfy the vengeance of the hypocrites and fanatics— ' the Jesuits and the Missionary Priests. 'We find by 'the French Papers that the Jesuit emissaries of the See of Rome, at Paris, have gained a congenial triumph. They, by their in trigues, drove out of Paris, in all the severity of the winter, a virtuous and learned Spanish Priest, of the age of 70. His offence was, having re vealed to the world what a den of iniquity the Spanish Inquisition was. M. Llorente died, soon after reaching Madrid, of the sufferings of his long journey in so inclement a season. [MORNING ram] That France is making great naval exertions against a Power which cannot be said to have a navy, is suddenly become evident. These exer tions even bear a peculiar character, a character of secresy not required (unless it be intended to endeavour to take Cadiz 'by , surprise) ; and which seems to imply a dread ocr part of France that England should grow ac quainted with their nature before they acquired a degree of. maturity and perfection which would baffle prevention. Her present object seems to be to become the Portress of the Medi terranean, and if all her squadrons, those that have already sailed, and those that are on the eve of sailing, should unite, it cannot be any exaggeration to say that she would suddenly be found to sweep the seas with a fleet of twenty or twenty-five ships of the line. This is a sub ject of no mean importance, and will not fail to be viewed by our Government with all due and necessary watchfulness. [BRITISH rams.) We have French Papers to the 16th, but they contain nothing of importance beyond the debate of the Chamber of Deputies on the subject of the suppression of the School of Medicine in Paris, and a stormy discussion on the verification of the powers of the Ultra Royalist, Marchangy, and his admission as a Deputy to the French Chamber. The movement of troops to the frontiers of Spain stilt continues, and great activity is announced in the naval arsenal. Private letters, however, slate, that the Duke of Angonleme was still with his circle of the Pavilion Marsan, the Royalists, "par excel lance," intriguing at Paris, and had not yet quit ted it to join the army. His valour, not withstanding his theatrical appeal to his sword, will probably turn out to be very quiescent. The Doke, in fact, has mistaken his vocation, and would have made a much better Jesuit than he will be found a General. It would appear that the tales of the Courier, and his friends the node and Drupeau Blanc, respecting the evacuation of Seo Urgel, and the alleged massacre of the fugitive rebels by the troops of the brave Mine, have very little foundation to rest on. The sick whom Romagosa abandoned at Urgel met with no ill treatment ; on the ceutrary, they were treated with the same care as the Constitutional troops. Mints was occupied in provisioning the forts he had captured, and was collecting grain from all parts for the purpose. The inhabit ants of Cer daue were in the greatest joy at the taking of Urgel ; Puycerda was brilliantly illuminated l and the bells were rung in all the villages aret n This is an instance of the real spontaneous feeling of the Spaniards, and refutes at once all the hypecritical falsehoods so industriously circu lated by Monks and Ultras, of their apathy and disaffection to the constitutional system. PROVINCIAL -JOURNALi. ( From the Ipswich Journal, Feb. 15.) The state of exhaustion to which Europe was reduced by its giguntic effints against the common enemy of mankind, has been looked to by all considerate politician• as the sure pledge of enduring repose. We had hoped that the sword would have been sheathed in peace, and that un der) the benign influence of universal tranquillity, the animosities and jealousies of hostile States would gradually _are subsided into an amicable rivalry in commercial pros perity. But the cup has been raised, only to be dashed from Our lip. The Saturnian age is, we fear, delayed to a distant iseriod. The die is cast, and Europe is again to be plunged into the horrors of a war of a most sanguinary character. The principle which rules the determination of the British Govern.- . ;tient in its foreign relations, is, that it has no right to interfere in the internal administration of affairs in another state so long as our, own security is not endangered. France, professing to be guided by the same rule, thinks herself menaced, by the calamities which afflict Spain ; and that it is necessary for her to take part in the civil war, in order to insure thp repose of Spain and consolidate that of France. Her pc hey was tacitly sanctioned by the Allied Monarchs in Con. gress,_and has subsequently been encouraged by the with drawal of their Ministers from the Court of Aladrid.— England has maintained the dignified attitude of neutra. lity, and has interposed her unremitted exertions to re. comae the ja r ring councils of the irritated nation s. Her medietion hies unfortunately been of vo avail, and 'ere this we fear hostilities may have commenced. We can believe that the King of France is sincerely desirous of consolidating the union of his kingdom Spainoind that he does not enter upon the contest for the purposes) of aggrandivetnent. But to us it appears, that the sta. bility of his • throne depends on the nosintenance of peace. So far from closing, there is too much treason that it will re-open the abyss of revolution in which the continental Monarchies will be engulphed. Mucleas we deprecate the in tended invasion of Spainas a gross infraction of the principles which constitute the law of nationa, we shudder still more at ne the dreadful coequeneet to humanity. How far the war may extend it is impossible to foresee, and it would he vain to cal culate. Circumstances may.oceur to render it imperative this country to take part with Spain, and such must surely he the CO2I3eqUVICI of a well-founded apprehension that her in,. tegrity and inpependence as a kingdom is menaced. The manly and energetic speech of Lord Liverpool, will be read with in terest proportioned to its importance, and will be considered throughout Europe as en exposition - of the tine of policy to be pursued by England. We \ rely . too implicitly on the Cabinet to feu that they will be driven into hostilities rashly, and al, thotigh the Oppcieition indulge in unmeasured reproach and in vective against France and the Continental Powers,we are quite sure that absolute necessity alone will drive us to active inter. ferenee against them.

FOR THE SUN. ROMAN CA.THOLICS. Ma. Enrross—As 'it is probable that the question of Catholic Emancipation, as it is popu larly called, may be again brought under the consideration of the,Parliament in the course of the present Session, and as nothing can contribute more effectually to the clear comprehension and full understanding of this important question than dispationate discussions upon some of the leading articles of the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, I submit, through the medium of your widely circulated Paper, the following observations, upon which I should be glad to I learn the opinions of some of the more enlight ened, and best educated members of that religion. The infallibility of the Pope as supreme head of the Church of Rome is a point, as I have un derstood, universally insisted on by the superior Members of that. Church. Whence they derive this superiority. lam at a loss to discover—if we revert to the life of the Apostle—we find many traces of the imperfections of human nature. If we avoid this point and look to the history of the Church of Rome, I fear we shall find still less reason to ad e mit this plea of infallibility. The Pope is considered as the descendant and representative of St. Peter, from which circum stance the sacredness of Isis character is dated— but I believe a long period elapsed between the death of St. Peter and the first appearance of the Pope ; a question thence arises how the sanctity and authority of the Apostle were delegated by him to the Pope as his successor ; from the Re curds of History it rather appears that the autho rity of the Pope dates its origin from human and not divine ordination ; indeed, at a wry early [ period, if not at the commencement of this as sumed suprernacy l the Emperor of Germany con. tributed very materially to, if he did not wholly, establish the authority of the Papal See. It is very true that, during the period of intellectual darkness, the powers and influence of that See were submitted to almost without being ques tioned, but it is equally true that, in consequence of seisms in the bosom of their own Church they have been compelled to resort to the aid and as sistance of Temporal Authorities to crush the ambition of members of their own Creed, who as pired to ther i honours of the Popedom. A singular instance of this occurred some time back, when the Papal Tiara was worn at the same time by two, if not three, individuals ; and after repeat ed appeals to worldly arms to settle this reli gious dispute had'failed, and the world had been scandalized for more than half a century by these dissentious, the Emperor of Germany was solicited to settle the question, which he finally did by compelling the individual who had set tled himself at Avignon, and the one who, if I mistake not, had retired to tke South West parts of France, to lay aside the emblems of Papal su premacy, and to abstain from all interference with the authority or acts of the Sovereign Pon tiff who resided at Rome, and whom , the Empe ror declared to be the true Pope, Even 1 be. hieve at the present day the Emperor of Germany materially influences, if he does not wholly de cide upon, the successor in the event of the death of the Pope. The authority tlaimed by the Pope of inter fering in the temporal affairs of foreign States, is one of the most dangerous instruments attempted to be wielded by him, and it is very essential that good authority should be adduced for the assumption of this prerogative, or that it should be distinctly and of fi cially disavowed. As it has been hereto ore acted upon it cannot be passed over in silence ; and the mischievous tendency of the operation of it is too evident to allow it to be admitted except upon the strangest grounds, In the history of Germany there is a remarkable instance of this interference when the anathema of the Pope produced such an effect upon the people, that they not only withdrew their alle. giance, but, acting upon the letter and spirit of the ban issued from the Holy See, reduced their Sovereign to such distress that he was compelled to proceed on foot. to the residence of the Pope, to solicit forgiveness, and to petition or revesal of the ban—after performing a weary pilgrimage over the mountains during the severity of the winter season he reached the residence of the Holy Pontiff, at that time in the north of Italy, in a most pitiable condition—here however his sufferings did not end ; he was con strained to wait three days and nights in the courts of the palace before he could obtain an audience. When at length he was admitted, and by the most degrading concessions had atoned for his crimes (whatever they might have been), and had averted the displeasure of the Pope, his holiness, after placing his foot on the prostrate Monarch's neck, allowed him to rise, and to return home; promising, at the same time, to remove the ban, and to restore the Sovereign to the authority of his crown and to the rights of society. Similar steps have at various times been taken by the Pope, with more or less success ; but the exertion of authority as exemplified in those cases forms a strange contrast with the temporizing conduct, but recently displayed to. wards the late Governor of France. How far this variableness is consistent with infallibility I must leave to others to decide : to me it appears very inconsistent. I make no observations upon the austere conduct of the Pope, so utterly at va riance with the mildness and love of his Divine master—nor do I dread a repetition of such scenes in the present enlightened state of so ciety ; but it is right to know , upon what autho. rity such claims to interference are rested, and whether the authority is still considered as in existence. In the Church of Rome the sacrament is ad. ministered to the people in on e k i n d onl y , namely, the bread ; but about 300 years back, both the bread and wine were given to all com• municants, whence aross this alteration ?—The motive for the change does n o t however so much signify, as the fact—as it proves that the Church has not at all times been consistent, even in the most sacred of its ceremonies:—and inconsistency and infallibility are sur el y not s y non y mous terms. I am induced to place more stress upon this event, because I know from experience, that in defending the various ceremonies of their Church, the Roman Catholic Clergy dwell mush I upon the infallibility of the P o p e, and the con sequent impossibility that any part of the cere monial should be wrong. Feb. 7, 1823. IGNORAMUS. ** Can any of your numerous readers state the shades of difference between a Roman Catho lic and a Papist. lam aware that a distinction is attempted to be drawn between them : but whilst the supremacy of the Pope is acknow ledged, surely it must be a delusion to say that a Roman Catholic is not a Papist. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, FEB. 18. PERUVIAN LOAN. Mr. HEALD renewed his motion for leave to withdraw the appearance which has been entered in his case, on the part of Del Rio and Paroissien, Representatives of the Peruvian Government. The Learned Counsel repeated what he men tioned last Thursday, namely, that the appearance had been entered by Mr. Cole, a respectable Solicitor of this Court, without authority. Whatever these foreign Gentlemen might be, they were amenable to their own Government for whatever they did while they remained in this coun try, and as they had not been served with a subpoena in the cause in which ail injunction had been obtained, if they entered an appearance without first having been served with a subpoena, it would be considered on their part, by their Government, a voluntary act, which they were anxious to avoid. Mr. Kinder is the contractor for the loan, Messrs. Everett and Co's is the banking-house where the money was to be deposited, and Mr. Cole is the Solicitor who has been em ployed by Mr. Kinder : the present application was made on the affidavits of Mr. Cole and Mr. Kinder, by the former stating, he received his instructions from the latter, and the latterdeposing, that he had received no orders from Messrs. Del Rio and Paroissien to give instnntions to enter the appear ance ; therefore Mr. Heald moved now, on the part of Mr. Cole, that the appearance might be cancelled. Mr. SHADWELL opposed - the motion principally on the strength of an affidavit made by a Mr. Lowe, who went to serve a notice upon Mr. Paroissien, who then told Mr. Lowe to tale it to his Solicitors Messrs. Amery and Cole, whence the Learned Gentleman inferred a confession, that Mr. Cole was the Solici tor of, and had been acting under the instructions of these foreign gentlemen. His LORDSIIPP thought that was not sufficient to bind these gentlemen : a person might say that certain individuals were his Solicitors, without being held to have said that he had given those individuals liberty to enter an appearance. I Leave was therefore granted to withdraw the-appearance, and the costs ordered to be paid by Amery and Cole. Mr. SHADWEEL made another motion in the same cause for leave to amend their bill. After a short discussion at the Bar as to thepractice, whether or not leave could be granted to amend the bill after an injunc tion had been granted, but a subpoena of it had not yet been served, Ilis LORDSIIIP said, Mr. Shadwell might have leave to amend his bill, upon undertaking immediately to serve the sub. lama, and without prejudice to the injunction, and this leave he would have to take at his own hazard, as the- practice was doubtful. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 18. Middlesex Adjourned Sittings after lifichaelnuss Term, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and the Common Jury. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. HANNAH HALE V. MEADOWCROPT, This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage, the plaintiff, an infant, suing by her next friend. Several pro mises were set out in as many counts of the declaration. Plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. C. Puti.Lirs ; and the defendant's by Mr. H. COOPER and Mr. BRODRICK. The plaintiff was a young lady, not yet eighteen years of age, whose sister keeps a school on Hampstead-heath, and the defen. dant was an attorney. In the latter part of the summer of 1820, the plaintiff, then scarcely 16 years of age, became acquainted with the defendant, who was at that time conducting the busi ness of his uncle, a respectable attorney, and from whom he had considerable pecuniary expectations. Under what circum stances the parties. became introduced to each other did not distinctly appear, but in August they were living together in lodgings at Pancras, in a state of cohabitation. From thence they removed to a cottage in the Vale of Health, on Hampstead Heath, and thence to Staples-inn.huildingst kiaborn, what about the month of August, 1821, the connection was broken s off, and soon afterwards the present action was cont , menc d ed, now brought to trial. To prove the promise' a n T na lg e defendant in their several lodgings, proved that w 1820, the with them at Hempstead, in the month of August would marry upon, a female, who had lived as servant with tne hu p i a t i s n h ti e ff li an ved d fendant repeatedly promised the plaintiff that he defendant would marry the plaintiff some day between n as her. She condescended on three secific promises ; and 25th of August; second, that he would marry her as in the month his uncle died ; and third, that he would marry her recol lection of the contents of certain letters written by the d b h latter, first, that 20th • • which -had been read to her y t e oafutSteopttehmebpelra.intSifth:deposed to these promises from he . r efena Ini fen t d w an h t ic h h ad tl:e in de e f n e e nd e ti f n conviction that he had seduced the plaintiffs and wa i t tis had lette b rs urn so t. between the plaintiff and the defendant, the latte r dea th he spoken burnt;Sl i expressedst th t h t i the e o d f e n . of his expectations from his uncle, on whos e e 4ftth_ . he_ sup. ed to marry her.

Various letters . deuce, written by the defendant to the plaintiff, commencing in now the subject of a Chancery suit, and that...his me i l v e l ": . a strain of amorous tenderness, but gradually ending in the coldest indifference. In the latter part of the correspondence, the defendant spoke of his reluctance in being obliged to part with the plaintiff, in consequence of her indiscretion and sm. propriety of conduct, advising her to amend her deportment, but still expressing his willingness to provide for her to the best of his means, if she would abstain from walking the streets.— No female relative, friend, servant, or acquaintance, was called to speak to the plaintiff's deportment, morals, or connexions, prior to the time when she entered into a state of concubinage w and the whole case, as to the proof of a rested upon the evidence of the servant bri promise the defend a nt; eonfmarriage, a to niet . Mr. 11. Cooren, in an able and ingenious address to the Jury, contended that they could not safely rely upon the evi. demo which they heard to sustain the promise of marriage, the promise being made out merely by the recollections of an ig. natant person, as to the contents of letters which had been destroyed, and read but once to th e witness. The letters which had been given in evidence clearly did not carry the case further, because from the beginning io the end they did hot contains single word upon the subject of marriage. Supposing, however, the Jury could bring themselves to give credence to the fact of a promise given and violated, still there was nothing • in the case which could warrant them in awarding to the plain. tiff more titan nominal damages. This case was free from every circumstance of aggravation which could awaken the sympathy or rouse the indignation of fathers and of brothers against the artful seducer of virtue and of innocence. For any thing that appeared to the contrary the plaintiff' might already have been abandoned to vice and profligacy before she became the companion of the defendant. Not a title of evidence was offered to spew that she .was previously a person of virtuous principles and modest deportment . On the contrary, the Minuet of such evidence raised a fair presumption that the defendant at least had not induced her to aber from the paths of inno cenee. For aught that appeared she might have been picked up in the streets, and had allowed herself to continue to live un der the defendant's protection from any other motive than that of virtuous love. The case, therefore, was divested of every Circumstance which could warrant the Jury in visiting the defendant with vindictive damages. The Learned Counsel commented at considerable length upon the series of' letters which had been given in evidence, and contended that the plaintiff's own indiscretion and misconduct bad, on the part of the defendant, occasioned a reluctant separation. The whole tenor of that correspondence vindicated the de fendant from the imputation of insensibility to the plain. tiff's situation, and proved that he was willing to afford her his protection and support until the very last, had she not forfeited, by her own misconduct, all claim to his consider. scion. Far was it from his (Mr. Cooper's) intention, or that of his client, to say any thing that could wound the feelings of the plaintiff ; but in such a case as this, where the promise was made out by such questionable testimony, and where, at all events, the claim to damages was so very slight, he could not but anticipate with confidence either that the verdict would be found for the defendant, or that the damages would be so in. consideralile, as not materially to affect the defendant, who was in no condition to meet any extensive claim upon his purse. The Lord CIIMPJUSTICE ItUddrleti up the case, and left the Jury to any, first, whether they were satisfied that any of the promises laid in the declaration had been credibly made out ; and, second, supposing they were, satisfied with the evi dence, what.demages they would give under the circumstances which had been proved. His Lordahip adverted to the total absence of any evidence of the plaintiff's previous' character, !t. 4 conduct, and connexions, and the circumstances under sr , supposing their she tint became acquainted with the defendant.
