`Ha. LONDON JOURNALS. DANA" Extracts from the Morning Papers, August 12. ' 'MORNING HERALD.] We have .received the following letter from our Madrid correspondent : MADRID, JULY 28, 1823. Stu—l arrived here to-day, but I don't know whether to stay, or to proceed to England. The Duke d'Angouleme left us at two o'clock this morning for Seville, accompanied by 2,000 of the Royal Guard, anti the whole of the Staff: As he proceeds by easy stages, it may be 18 or 20 days ere he reaches Seville. Several detachments of troops have left this of late for, the South, and in a day or two the whole of the present garrison will take the same direc tion : they will be relieved by the troops that have been sta-. timed between this and Vittoria, who are marching hither ward, and some have arrived to-day ; these, in like manner, will be reliried by the divisions forming the blockades of San Sebastian and•Pampeluna—the new troops from France sue ceeding them. The soldiers in the surrounding villages are also under orders for Andalusia ; so that in the whole, his Royal Highness' takes a reinforcement. of about 15,000 men. This additional force of the choicest of the French army will, it is thought, be imposing enough to force the Constitutionalists of C'aulii.intn.tenns,. the Duke being personally on the spot to treat with them, or to animate the troops in the assault of the illace, besides .clearing that part of the country of Ballasteros and other smaller partizans, who might be extremely trouble some to the force at present there, axtended as it is. Conjecture is now an end with respect to the origin of the fire on the 20th at the Church and Convent of the Espiritu Santo. A German who occupied one angle of the building as a coffee-house and brewery, has eonfessed that the fire broke out in his brewery ; that he was 24. hours endeavouring to ex tinguish it; that he called in no assistance, nor mentioned it on account of the heavy fine imposed on all persons in whose premises a fire breaks out. A great many persons were ar rested on suspicion, all of the Constitutional party, to whom it was at first ascribed, but who are, however, 'not likely to be re= leased, notwithstanding the discovery now made. From Seville, we are Informed, that Sir Wm. A'Court left that city on the llkh inst. for Gibraltar, leaving his carriage and a part of his servants at Mr. Walsh's, the British Vice- Consul. I 1 is Excellency is reported to have said, that he ex pected to be back soon again ;• presuming, yrobably, that the struggle between the Royalists, or rather k rench and Consti totionalists, must quickly be terminated. The British Ambassador has therefore left Spain.- The de.: thronement of the King and re-investing him with his dignity at the will of a fiction, as, in feet' it may now be termed, .could not be recognized by the British Government, and as little a Imposed by foreigners.—Sir 'William was placed in a difficult situation. At Gibraltar he brin a position to observe and take advantage of circuMstancea, and at band to become ,3 mediator, should the COnstitutional party in Cadiz abate a little of their obstinacy. There was no further news at Seville other than, that' the Vrench hail made a conclusion of the Constitutionalists at the (Jondado, taken the forts of Paimogo, lliyelva Ayamonte, and Villanueva, with the artilleryand ammunition--indeed, where. sever the French go, there is no standing against them, notwith standing what" their opponents may say. By these it was re ported, that liallasteros was coming to Seville with. 20,000 men—that he' was' to enter on the 25th instant, being:only 18 leagues WI By other accounts, his farce was diminished down to 7000'men but even this number is not to be relied on, aa othe rw i se other movements would be seen making in the French armies. Lopez Ilanos.iteetild tolie'at time dridge of Almanaz on-the Tagus, with about 1.,000 horse. The departure - of the French troops from this for Andalusia prevents his fortning'a junction with Ballasteros in the rear of the French before Cadiz,. if such was the intention. The Constitutional spirit is so damped and broken in all the country towns and villages; and so heartily sick are the people of' war . that nothing is to be feared or ex pected from Inm or any other partizan. 'Pie towns resist giv ing rations, except on an order from the Royal Authorities, and the Constitutionalists desert in small parties whenever they find the opportunity. I have been a witness. to . this myself lately. lithe French minded them, and sent divisions after these parties wherever the hue and cry was raised, it would have the effect certainly of retarding their main operations. On the con trary, the French keep themselves lia'nked right and left by such Royalist parties as liessieres, Quesada, Merino, O'Donnel, El Locho, &c. and are now bent entirely on their one and last abject, Cadiz, from which nothing will divert them. Mina is positively said to be shut up in Barcelona. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] There can be no question that the French are extremely anxious at the present moment to‘find a pretext for withdrawing their troops from Spain. They see that the party of which they are the allies cannot exist without them, and that they must either treat with the Cortes, or occupy the Country permanently. Russia urges the per manent occupation, but the madness of .the French has given place to something like reflec tion, and the occupation does not appear to them so advisable as it does to the Russians. For our parts, we confess we should wish to see the FrenchatteMpt the occupation in good earnest, because we wish to see the Government which basvommitted so signal an act of injustice rush on its ruin. Such an attempt would unite all parties, and the bones of half a million of French men would again encumber the fields of Spain. The worst enemies of France would wish for no greater evil to her, than to see her waste her resources in keeping under the unruly population of so extensive and difficult a country as Spain. What our Government have to fear from this, except a re-action in France, we cannot see. A union of Governments may, give cause for apprehension, but an occupation would give employment to, the whole force of France in Spain, and instead of adding to her power, would leave her no force for any other purpose. A hundred years would Not reconcile the Spaniards to the loss of their National independence. Cannot Ministers allow -the Bourbons to become as embarrassed as they are themselves ? [NEW TIMIS.] The Trench Papers of Saturday fully confirm the private letters. The good understanding between the Royalists at Mudrid and a large party in Cadiz is every day more manifest.— Even the Municipality and Consulate of the latter city have boldly stood forward to present an Address to the Cortes, exhorting them to set the King at. liberty. One member of the mo derate party has been nominated Governor of Cadiz, and another Minister at War ; and it is understood that au Aide-de-Camp of his Royal Highness the Duke D'Angouleme proceeds from Madrid to Cadiz direct. In. deed every Ohm tends to pacification. It will have been observed, that Sir Robert Wilson wished to be sent to Cadiz with proposals of peace : and in his letter of July 30th to General Morino he says, " according to the last news from Cadiz the Government has the same wishes; as for this purpose they have already placed themselves in communication with the British Minister." The Times, making a mockery, as usual, of public credulity, had the impudence to assert, that the British Cabinet at its late sitting resolved to decline all inter ference as Mediators or otherwise between the belligerent parties in the Peninsula. People who will believe a word that such a Paper says are without excuse. Mr. Canning, in his dispatch of March 31, 18 1 23, to Sir Charles Stuart, dis tinctly says—" I am commanded to direct your Ixcellency► to declare to the Preach Minister, that his Majesty will be at all times ready to renew the interposition of his good offices, for the pur pose. of terminating those hostilities which his Majesty has so anxiously, although ineffectually, endeavonred to avert." [MOTtNING POST.] We have received French Papers to the lOth ult. They say but little respecting military affairs ; their attention seems to be turned to wards a different object, and that object, it can no longer be doubted, is negociation. The tear does not yet avow it openly ; bup'when it says that the Duke of Angoulerne's Aide-de. Camp will not stop at Port St. Mary's, but will proceeed immediately to Cadiz, it means that the fact should be inferred. For what else can follow from such direct communications but an aivroximation of views, and an' attempt tci put an end to the difficulties in which all parties now find themselves involved ? France, who senselessly took upon herself to untie the Gordian loot, feels that her efforts have only served to draw it tighter, and that she wants power to cut it with the sword. Disappointed in the expectations with which she entered Spain; she has seen no general rising of the people to join her banners and fight the battles of absolute despotism. She still finds the gates of every fortress of the' least importance closed against her, and though two or three Chiefs of armies have ceased to obey the Cortes, even they have affixed terms to their desertion, and have stipu lated that the Constitution shall be improved, but not destroyed. Her troops, it is true, have marched to the extremities of the Penin sula ; but she well knows that their progress is due to the superiority of their numbers, and not to the popularity of the cause which they support. She has witnessed the gallant and in domitable resistance made in Catalonia, where the forces were more equally balanced ; and she perceives that the rapid extension of the Guerilla system must in a short time render her mili tary occupation . of the other provinces ex tremely insecure. Under these circumstances her Government seems at last disposed to ad mit the truths pressed upon it by the British Minister at the Congress, and to own that it had formed a wrong estimate of the state and wishes of the great mass of the Spanish people, when it supposed it anxious for the restoration of pure,. unmitigated Despotism. It sees besides that its impolitic and unjust interference has increased the evils which it professed' a desire to remove ; and that to persevere in its present course would .only be toincur ruinous expellees and endless perils insupport of a Minority hostile to the real interests of both countries, exceeding in violence and injustice' all that was charged on the leaders of the Spanish Revolution,- and incapable of standing up for a single moment without the aid of a foreign army and a foreign Exchequer. EBRITI3II PRESS.I The last accounts from Corfu, given in our Paper yesterday, are most favourable to the Greeks. A body of the ferocious rabble of the Turks, amounting to 8,000 European and 7,000 Asiatic infantry, besides 3,000 cavalry, at tempted to penetrate, under Mehemet Paella, through the pass of Thermopylae: into Greece : that celebrated pass was defended by the brave Odysseus, with only 2,000 gallant Christians, with unconquerable resolution.: 700 of its defenders fell beneath the sabres of the Infidels; but after four hours constant fighting, nume rous reinforcements arrived to the Greeks, and the Turks experienced a total defeat ; a part of their routed forces threw themselves into the castle of Zeitouny, which the Christians took by storm, and another part of their scattered remnant capitulated at Demagn. The Paella of Scutari, with his Albanians, is now the only re maining enemy the Greeks have to combat ; and as that Paella hesitated long before he joined the Turkish standard, and the Albanians only fight for the Crescent for pay and plunder, and are already more than disposed as a people to the Greek cause, it is probable their Palikars will not be very anxious to press unsupported to the combat against a victorious enemy. The Turkish fleet which arrived at Patna still remained there, it is said, on the 2d of July. There are accounts which say it was attacked and dispersed by the Greek Are-ships with great loss, and had fled in dismay to the African coast. This last expe dition of the 64 Brother of the Sun and Moon," announced with so much pomp as terrible to the enemies of the Prophet, will close in disas ter and defeat, like all the rest. The sceptre of the Barbarian Turk over resuscitated Greece is broken for ever. The light of the gloomy Crescent is waning fast pressed by the menaces of Russia, and the march of her ravenous hordes on one side, and by millions of her emancipated subjects on the other, the power and stability of the Ottoman is shaken to its foundations, and the falling fabric of savage superstition totters to its very centre►* Greece, there is now no doubt, must and will be free : she has purchased her indepedendence with her " red right arm," and by the glorious efforts of her people. What recollections must n►ot 'Thermopylae, whence her sons have been borne on their bloody biers, from a field of victory immortal in theannals of their coun try, have created in every survivor's breast! The perfidiousßussian may now talk his by pocritical ac cents of revolutionary movements in Greece; but she is beyond his power—she has trodden down the tyranny of the brutal Moslem—she has burst, by a glorious effort, the iron chain of centuries— and she will value her liberties too strongly not to arm her population to the last man, to defend and preserve what her sons have so nobly pur• chased and redeemed in battle against their op pressors. [THE . TIMES.] A Corresponde - nce has been publish e d an d talyed about as having taken place between Si r Robert Wilson and Morino, commencing on the 25th ult., and closing on the Ist inst. To the question whether the Correspondence he authen. tic, we are unable to answer aye or no; and, in deed, there are two further questions, which we must plead equally unfit to satisfy—namely, under what character our well-diiposed coun. tryman professed, Or believed himself to ac t in proposing to negociate with Morillo ; and what precise meaning he would have the world affix to the several propositions which he brought forward, and which he has taken the trouble of annexinglo his last letter, dated July 30. There is something or other in this craft of diplomacy which seems to turn the head of a poor soldier whenever he gets entangled with it. The Duke of Wellington, a few months ago, though one of the most plain spoken men in the world as to what concerns his own business, no sooner found himself in Lord L on d o nderry's shoes / and obliged to conform to the practices of " the civilians," than he began to prose away, as idly as ever his predecessor had done, about 6 ‘ false positions," and the Lord knows what, that none of his countrymen could translate into com mon English. It is really with reluctance we say, that a similar malady of mystification ap pears to have descended upon our friend Sir Robert, at the very outset of this his new and unprofessional career. One remark, indeed, we are bound to make in justice to the gallant Officer ; which is, that although the correspondence (if it be really his correspondence) has transpired, we are totally ignorant of the facts which may have been calculated to explain and justify its objects. On the first blush of the thing, one might be disposed to think that the intention was to hoax Morillo / to gain time, and so effect by stratagem some object of a military nature. Sir Robert could hardly expect a proposition to be enter• tamed and acted on with a view to any serious result, from an individual not pretending to be clothed ' with any sort of public character. Sir Robert states, that all the Galicians of power and influence wish for an honourable peace ; but did any of the Constituted Authorities call upon him to ask peace at the hands of Morino lie adds, that the Government of Cadiz evince the same pacific inclination, and have 66 already " placed themselves in communication with " the British Minister.'v Of course, then, the British Minister may without difficulty express the wishes of his Government and of the Cortes to the French Commander; but would not, we presume, be mach more alert in making the trecesaary overtures for such a pur pose, if he learned that Sir It. Wilson had been joined by the Cortes in the same commission with him: That England has " offered her mediation to the Cortes" (recently, we suppose,) is an nounced in this series of letters ; but as she is likewise declared to have done so without stipu lating that the wicked enterprise of the invasion shall be , abandoned, Sir Robert proposes, or sup gests, that to "equalize" the parties—since Spain cannot get rid of one set of occupiers —she shall consent to be doubly occupied, and to sur. render some of her fortified places to the British, until the French shall be pleased to give up their possession of the others ! What use or credit is to be derived by the Spaniards from this arrangement, however dexterous and novel, we do not venture to guess. Tho truth is, th a t if a suspension of arms in Galicia were the end of Sir Robert Wilson's overture, or if, as has been conjectured, he wanted merely to procure a safe conduct for himself and his Aides-de-camp to Cadiz, Morillo has thwarted both designs, by telling our countryman that he bore no public character, and ,could not offer a satisfactory gun rantee for the execution of any agreement. If there be a further meaning in these written de monstrations than has yet appeared, we are of opinion that Sir It. Wilson or his friends ought, without loss of time, to say so. he Roal stables at Pin T A i i i c ig o, R w O h ic o A s ri e S p ' r r o it g a r L e E ss s."— wa l s i for some little time suspended, from a misunderstanding between the Contractor and the Board of Works, are again proceeding with redoubled activity. The eleva vation and plan are most admirably adapted to their intended purpose, and afford the most perfect example of every comfort and solidity, without the least extravagance of design, that the greatest admirers of stabular comfort and conve nience could suggest or imagine. When this building is completed, it will set the ground at liberty between Pall-mall East and St. Martin's Church for the execution of the plan for throw ing that magnificent portico, hitherto quite au secret, open to public admiration.

His MAJESTY'S private *post and town horses, together with the riding horses, stand at Carlton Palace, as being under the immediate eye and controul of his MAJESTY himself, whose attach ment to these noble animals has been unbounded from his infancy ; and the discriminate selection of most perfect examples of blood, shape, bone, and action, has most materially contributed to keep up in England the acknowledged superiority of our breed of horses.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH CHURCH BROKEN OPEN. IJNioleelleee r ..Yesterday information was received at this Office that Lambeth Church, which almost touches the Arch. bishop's Palace, had been broken open by . thieves. Glannon the of immediately went to the Church, by the direction of the Magistrates, to examine the building, and ascertain whether there was any ground for supposing that the thieves who broke open the Palace were not those who broke open the church. Glannon learned that the discovery of the bur. glary in the church did not take place' until Sunday morning, when the Sexton went round to prepare for Divine service, before seven o'clock. The Sexton was surprised to see the heavy marks of footsteps near the west door of the church in the burial ground, and soon found that the door had been wrenched open. The instrument used to perform this ser. vice for the thieves must have been larger than those which were applied to the doors of the Palace, as the marks on the edges of the doors of the church were of considerable size, and in fact the church doors are of such unwieldly magnitude as to require great strength, both of arm and instrument, to break them open. The lock of the west door had been broken off, and the panel was dragged off with it. The thieves, if they were the same that robbed the palace, were certainly not so well ac. quainted with passages to the interior of the church as with those to the most private rooms of the former building ; for upon breaking open the first door, they applied their strength to the great gate leading to the aisle. They were here defeated after numerous violent efforts, for there were other marks on the door. It is supposed that they opened the locks with a skeleton key, and that they relinquished the idea of forcing their way upon finding that the door had been fastened by a couple of immense irom bolts which are capable of resist. ing the attempts of twenty men. Baffled in their object of entering at this door, they next attacked a wooden partition, which they were mistaken in supposing led to the in terior of the church, fol it merely communicated with the engine house. They broke sufficiently through this partition to convince themselves that except they chose to steal the fire. engine, they had no chance of profit by pushing their labour fur. ther that direction. There were no further symptoms of attempt to enter the church, and no instruments were found near the spot. The footsteps were traced along the wall, which Is near the palace, and Glannon was p art icular in his notice of them. The conjecture amongst those who are well qualified to judge as to the attempt to get into the church is, that the vil. Hans who broke into the p a l ace , u po n findi ng that they had no chance of getting hold of the expected chests of plate, de. termined to try the church and strip the communion table, but in their hopes in this respect, also, they were quite mistaken.— There is no plate kept in th e .Church. That which belongs to it, and is occasionally used, is regularly taken to a place of security remote from the church, when there is no necessity for producing it ; so that if they had effected an entrance, the con. sequences would have been unimportant as far as regarded the mischief sustained by the robbery of the building. The thieves might have got as many cushions as they could carry, and prayer boas in abundance; but they could not have touched any thing else ; and their rejection of the property in the Palace which they might have taken away, proved that they are men who are dete r mi ne d to b e we ll re c ompensed for the danger which they undergo, or t o rece i ve nothing at all. Some are of opinion that the gang divided, and commenced their attack upon the palace and the church simultaneously. It is supposed that they were well armed, and resolved to commit any violence they might think necessary for their own safety, in case of the re. sistance of any of the domestics whom they should come in con. tact with in the course of their attempt. It is well known by all in the neighbourhood of the palace, that a quantity of fire. arms, ready for action, are kept in one of the lower rooms. Several blunderbusses loaded are always under a press-bed in . a store-room, in which a trusty servant (the cellarman) sleeps, and therefore the gang must have been well disciplined and desperately resolved before they commenced their operations. It is supposed that the thieves entered the palace without shoes, as not an atom of clay was to be seen upon the window. stool at which they first entered, nor was there any mark of any other kind on the boards, which are in a high state of po lish, and wo u ld b e lik e l y to show footsteps which were not most cautiously made.

Bow-ST n e r.—On Saturday evening, a respectable. oo iI le young man, named Joh n if Rogers, ali a s B rown , wa g brought befor e Mr. Mils suttee on a warrant, charged with attempting to defraud a Mr. Sc ott, a tailor in Pall-mall, of a suit of clothes. The prisoner • went to Mr. Scott's shop a few days ago, and made ordered a suit o f c l ot h es to be first the style of elegance and fashion, and said he should pay ready money fur it. In a day or two, however, when the clothes were nearly finished, , he called again, and said It would not be convenient ter him to pay ready money, but he would give references of the most un. ceptionable kind. lie referred to the Bev. Valentine, Chaplain to the London Hospital, who, lie said, knew hint and his bluffly perfectly well. The following morning, Mr. Scott was just leaving his house, for the purpose of waiting upon Mr. Valentine, to ascertain if the story of the prisoner was true, when the twopenny postman brought a letter which he found purported to come from Mr. Valentine, and gave a very good account of the prisoner, describing him as being very respectably connected, and the son of a gentleman re- siding at Harlington, Aliddlesex. Mr. Scott, however, more cautious, perhaps, than tradesmen generally are, waited upon Mr. Valentine, who on seeing the letter declared it to be a fa brication, and said lie 'knew nothing of the prisoner, except from his having been a patient in the hospital, and his having heard him say that he was very respectably connected. The Rev. Gentleman added, that he was glad to hear the prisoner was likely to be brought before a Magistrate (Mr. Swtt having told him that he intended to take out a warrant against him.) The prisoner, in his defence, said, he was very much sur. prised that Mr. Scott had taken so hasty a step as to have him taken into custody, without first making inquiry as to his cha. meter and the respectability of his connexions. Mr. Scott need not have been so easily alarmed, for he would have received every farthing of his money. Theltlagistrate would recollect, that he had not actually obtained the clothes, and therefore he conceived he had committed no offence cognizable by the law. The Magistrate ordered the prisoner to the watch.house, and yesterday he was again brought up, and Mr. Valentine attend ed, and swore that the letter was not written by him. It was requested by the prisoner th a t h e mig h t b e remanded till Wednesday, to give him time to ma k e app li cation to his friends to come forward in his behalf..—Remanded till Wed. nesday. It is with regret that we announce the not un expected death of the Rev. EDWARD BASER LLOYD, of the Wesleyan connexion, Halifax, aged 33 years. This is the second victim of the dreadful accident which occurred on Monday week, in the overturn of the Royal Fleece coach, at Shelley Bank. Mr. Lloyd lingered in severe pain till Wednesday last, when he expired. An inquest was held upon the body on Thursday, when the same full evidence as before was given of the improper conduct of Edmund Smith, the coachman, and a similar ver dict of Manslaughter returned. The remains of Mr. Lloyd were on the same day conveyed to Halifax for interment. We learn from the com munication of the Coroner, that Mr. Stephen Wilson still lies at Shelley dangerously ill.— (Leeds Mercury.) SuicinE.—Casi night an Inquisition was taken at the Marquis of Granby, Milbank, on the body of William 'Lewis, a waterman. It appeared that the deceased had been dejected for several weeks past, from the apprehension of a summons from the Watermen's Company, for plying on Sun. days, and that on Saturday evening last, he was observed to enter his boat, and row under one of the arches of Vauxhall - bridge, where he threw hi mse lf i n. To render his design ef. foetus! , he had tied bricks round his body by a cord. The body was not found till the following day. Verdict—Drowned himself in a state of temporary derangement. A ccin ENT.—:-.on Saturday evening, about eight o'clock, a gentleman got out of his gig to speak to friend at Knightsbridge, when by some accident the horse took fright and ran with great fury towards Hyde Park-corner, to the im. minent danger of all before it. On its arrival at the turnpike, one of the wheels came in contact with the post with treater. dous violence, which not only had the effect of impeding the progress of the affrighted animal, but the jirk caused it to rear, and it was thrown es it were a complete someirset, and fell:mill such violence on its head that it was killed upon the spot, and the chaise was completely destroyed. Fortunately no further accident occurred. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD. The price of the 4th. Loaf is stated at Ad. by the fullapricid bakers.

The thieves having obtained an entrance by the removal of some brick-work, succeeded in carrying off between twenty and thirty watches, with other property that was deposited in a glass case in the window, without alarming the family. As soon as the robberY was discovered, a diligent search was made for the perpetra tors, but in vain. On the arrival of the coach, however, from London in the evening, five persons were seen to alight from it, two of whom were known to the constables as disreputable cha racters, and they therefore resolved to apprehend and search , them. This was accordingly done t and on the pers identified o of them was found a watch, which Mr. Terrell as one stolen from him, and which beloNed to a lady at Wal ton, who had sent it to him to repair. They were all conveyed before a Magistrate, - Page, Esq., at Cobham, and, after having undergone an examination, two of them were fully committed for trial, and the other three were re-examined on Friday. It is supposed that they form part of a fonni. dable gang of burglars who have for a long time past infested this part of the county of Surrey, and who have too success fully exercised their iniquitous and lawless avocations. After the completion of the robbery, they had proceeded to London, and there disposed of the property ; but one of them having secreted (unknown to his companions in guilt) one of the watches, intending to wear it himself, his dishonesty led to their detection.
