Tll LONDON -JOURNALS. DAILY 'Extract., from the. Morning Papers, August 23 " It is hriportant for the dignity of Franie that the Acts of the'Princ&be vigorously supported by our Cabinet. Weakness would: embolden the party which wishes for the triumph of via. let►ce, while it would deprive the French of the consideration, and the preponderance which they ought to have in Spain." Here then we have the French opposed to the Constitutionalists on the one hand, and the Holy Alliance on the otl►er. The views of Russia and France respecting Spain are by no means the . :tame. The French, who find their expedition a little costly, would be very glad to get out of Spain without delay, whereas Russia, who bears no part of this - expence, and whose interest it is that France should have sufficiency of business on her bands, would no doubt be sorry to see the French 1$ ithdraw their troops. Already the Spanish Royalists and the. French troops have come to blows in Bilboc—The Journal des Mats contains an' "accotat of recent con flagrations at Constantinople.

[N EW: TIMES.] , At a very late hour-last' night we received the PTench Papers of Monday. They contain little news. A letter of the 18th inst. from Madrid, states that the intelligence of the surrender of Mtoaga is confirmed: the Authorities of that city took to flight on board a Vessel in the har bour, immediately after tlie capitulation of Zayas and hi 4 troops. The Decree of the Regency for releasing those `persons whom the ENbordinate Anthbrities had improperly emifined was quietly executed. There is no doubt that the in dividuals arrested were most of 'them noto rious rebels, but as there were no legal pro eeedings in‘titeted'against Ilion, their detention could not be. justified. ,Accounts from the head. quarters at Port St. Mary may he daily expect ed.

[THE TIMES.I • The French Papers of Monday have arrived, Letters from Seville, dated •the 16th, state, that the Duke of Angouletne,.after a short halt in that city, had gone ow to Puerto de Santa Maria, where he. would 'arrive early on the following day.—The illentorinl Bort/olds gives an account of a disturbance at Oilboa on the 15th. Three men, it is stated, were arrested for insulting the Constitutionalists, by a French patrol who wished to convey the' offenders to the city prison. This was opposed by a mob composed of friends of the 'Faith, who insisted upon taking them to the post of St. Antonio, which was occupied by a party or the ]Regency's troops. The mob sue caeded in rescuing the prisoners ; two were set at liberty, and the third was carried to the post of St. Antonio. A French detachment soon arrived before .the post... The mob. and .the Royalist troops flew to arms on their part, and a fatal re. that was cxpcted, but the interftirence of the civil and military authorities is stated to have prevented the effusion of , blood. It wadeter. mined that the French should return to their quarters, and that in future the patrol: should be made by the Royalist militia. Such is the ac count which is given of this affair. It is also stated by the Constitutionnel, that the correspond. ent of a Ministerial Journal printed at Dour. deaux writes that the execution of the Andujar Decree is provisionally suspended, and further adds that the members of the diplomatic corps have signified their intention to withdraw, if the Decree be not revoked. Judging from circumstances which transpire through the inpdium of Ultra Royalist orders and proclamations, Madrid is evidently in a state most alarming to the Regency. The Captain General in that capital, Camposagrado, published on the 14th an order of the day, announcing that 44 among, lite persons who tumultuo us ly repa i re d within these few days to the Royal Palace " and to other parts of the city,some officers were 44 observed, who uttered alarming expressions," &c. ; that such officers " ought not to join those " who excite torevelt;" that these disorders "are 44 imitated by the soldiers ;" and that " it is time "to platen end to such licentiousness . ," and so forth. Here, then, are a string of admissions, which, if the facts authenticated by them bad been pub fished otherwise than in AR official form, would have called down the whole phalanx of English Tories, of French Policemen, and of Re. g'ency Inquisitors, upon the back of the offend ing party. ft Is confessed that there have been tumultuous assemblages before the Royal Palace, and in different quarters of Madrid ; that alarming language, exciting to revolt, has met the observation of the Captain-General ; anti that officers and soldiers have wilfully added to the 'mischief. Madrid moreover, is the seat of the Regency—the chief resort of those servile Gran dees who live raised their voices against the [MORNING CtiItONICLI.) lie received the Paris Papers of Monday this morning. if we are to credit an article, from the Memorial Bordelais, the Foreign DiPlomatists in Madrid have protested against the execution of the Order or Decree, of Andujar.

No intelligence of any decisive interest from Spain had reached this city yesterday. Angou. !erne is said to have arrived at Port St. Mary's, before Catii;i, on the 16th, and to have imme. tliately dispatched a flag of truce, with offers of erms to the Cortes. The reply is said to have been it decided refusal to treat, except under the me diation and guarantee of this country. All this is mere report; but we should l )e d eep l y surpr i se d if the Cortes negociated unwarily. It would be indeed mast weak in them, to throw open the gates of Cadiz to their forei gn an d d omes ti c enemies; and place Ferdinand in the midst of the Faith Banditti, without possessing the strongest guarantees for the presertation of at least a modified Constitution, and full assurance for their personal safety.—The Bayonne letter presents a .striking picture of the Trappist, and the followers of the Faith. The sanguinary Marsan contemplated nothing short of the murder of the unfortunat e v i c ti ms en t om b e d i n the dungeous of Vittoria, on their being about to be released. The monastic blood-hound who in- ested that city, quitted the,ensvirons barking for is prey, and went to collect bis armed banditti, to oppose the execution of thu decree for liberating the prisonerl.. Artillery was placed at the gates of Vittoria, to oppose any attempt the inebriitted fa- . _ antic and his crew of cut-throats might make. We are in great hopes that this wretch will at length meet with the just reward of his exertions ; and that, taken in arms against theßegency and French troops, he will be shot without ceremony, or hanged on the next tree. The courier may then employ itself in writing a lugubrious 64 hic jacet" for Brother Antonio : difference of faith will create no obstacle ; they were worthy fellow-labourers in the same cause---both mendicants by profes- SiOn.--" et mendaccs" by habit ; it were a pity that death should disunite them in their creditable career. I3ilboa, it appears, was disturbed by the same ruffians at Vittoria; 500 human beings were incarcerated in'the dungeons of that town ; orr their being about to be released, the rabble of tiilboa, aided, by the Faith Banditti, assembled to oppose their emancipation, and when the French troops proceeded to do their duty, the fanatic crew, Who opposed them, quitted the town, and took a position on the heights.— Madrid has been a scene also of renewed excesses. of the same sort. The order of the Captain-General of the Regency, Cftmposa grada, will be found in our columns (see THE SUN of :yestertlo,y). The war (at probably its chute ) is stow assuming a new character Ihe French, tis we long since anticipated, have not only to , contend with the Constitu tionalists, but the rabble of all the towns, and the bands of tin Faith are now uniting against them. Should the contest continue, and the t;urtes finally - reject Angouleme's proposals, un supported by a foreign guarantee, the situation of the French army, thinned and scattered over so great an extent of country, must, become most precarious and full of danger , ,ThOutumn will close: on them with dark rto4 gliiorny pros pects. EMOIUNI.Nd fOST.] French Papers to the 261 h inst.reached us las night by express. Their contentsconiirm-all that has been advanced with respect.to, the existence of serious differences between the French army and the Royalists in Spain. At 'Bilbao the attempt to carry into effict : the Decree is sued by the Duke. of Angonlepie, at AndUjar,, was attended with very thietttening appear ances. Its mere publication created mach indignation amongst the Members of the 'De putation and the Municipality 'of the town.— They remonstrated with the'Frepeh Commander, and immediately dispatched' en extraordinary Courier with two. energetic petitions" to the Madrid Regency, calling - for its aid and pro.: tectiou. ForttMately, _however,, .that Regency ~no longer possessed the power of supporting in justice and .violenee;and the Measure which it had adopted to conceal the abrogation of its autho rity, by a seeming coincidence with the moderate . views of the Prince Generalissimo would prevent it from encouraging the spirit of resist fltice which had displayed itself on that occasion. The next day the Royalists' of Bilbao signalized their displeasure by attacking and striking the Constitutionalists who ventured to show them selveS in public. Three of the former were con sequently tit en up by a French military. Patrol, and conducted towards the city gaol. The people followed in large numbers, and .demanded that they should be delivered into the hands of the Royal Militia, who shared their sentiments, and by whom they would probably have been set at liberty. The French refused, but a fresh assemblage tore their prisoners away, gave freedom to two of them, and curried the third to , the post of Saint Anthony, where the Ali. litia were quartered. The French Commander speedily arrived at the head of a stronger detach ment, and ordered his soldiers to cross their bayonets before the post. The inhabitants and the militiamen also took up arms: the disorder increased, and every thing announced fatal re sults, when the Authorities of the town assem bled and exerted themselves to restore public tranquillity. After much difficulty they suc ceeded in preventing the effusion of blood, and a kind of convention was entered into, which, however, gave the advantage to their friends ; for it was stipulated that the French (who pro- I bably Were not in force) should retire within their quarters, and that the patrolling of the streets to maintain order should be entrusted to the militia. Occurrences similar to that which took place at Bilbao, had also disturbed public tranquillity in other places, and the displeasure of the Ultras WAS so strong that the Tiappist is represented in some accounts as having • • quitted Vittoria to collect Ins troops, in order to oppose the execution of the Decree by forte of, warms. That these reports are not much, if at 411 exaggerated, may be inferred from their find ing their way into such Papers as the Quotidienne, which, after solemn and repeated denials, now admits that 44 misunderst an di ngs have broken out in some parts of the Peninsula be tween the' French Commanders and the Local Authorities ;" and charges the Liberals with being dispOsed to'flatter the passions of a blind mul titude, provided that multitude should arm against the French on account of their modera tion." If the " - Heroes of the Faith" are become a" blind multitude",in the eyes of their late apo logists and admirers, and if the possibility of their arming against France be recognized by those who plunged their country into an unjust war , to give them the power which they now turn against their benefactors, no doubt can be entertained of the precarious situation to which the French, notwithstanding their ap parent possession of the Peninsula, are reduced, nor of the sincerity of their disposition and de sire to grant and to obtain easy terms of peace, to put a speedy termination to 'a state of so muck difficulty, expence, and danger. On the other hand, the spirit recently displayed by the Cortes, for to them must no doubt be attributed the original honour of the De cree which proclaims the Grandees, who sign ed the Address to the Duke of Angouleme last May traitors to their .King and Country, is a pledge that they will not consent to any thing unworthy Of a Patriotic Government, or inconsist ent with the Constitutional rights and liberties of the lieopit. [MORNING HERALD.' The following is an extract of a letter from Matliid, dated the 18th August, with which we were favoured yesterday:— " The Duke d'Angotileme arrived at Port St. Mary's, on the 10th inst. at night, which is eight days sooner than what was proposed when he left this place. An opening had been made for entering into negociations, but the Government at Cadiz have declined entering into them without the mediation of England. Ultimately France must accept of these terms, and if our Government comes forward, I have great hopes that affairs will very soon be arranged. " The communication with Cadiz is ; ,now rendered very dif ficult in consequence of the blockade, both by sea and by land, being rigorotisly enforced. "I have already mentioned that all persons taken upandeon fined for political opinions had been liberated at Burgos, and that this was onlya prelude to the samegeneral measure through out Spain, and a confirmation of what I have previously an nounced,*that France had adopted a more liberal policy towards this country.

In the mean time, a sort of partial amnesty has been published in yesterday's Clazet4af which I send you one hern with, which proves that the .

" Indeed, in my opinion, Prance will readUy consent to a form of Govertnant, perhaps, too liberal for this country, and not calculated to restore tranquillity. The Spaniards of the present generation require an absolute military government to keep them in order." We have received a - gaceta de Madrid of the (3th instant, which contains several Addresses to the Regency. Amongst these,' that of Vittoria is remarka ble for demanding , th e re - es t a bli s h men t of the Inquis i t ion. " The illustrious Ayuntandento of the city of Vittoria, which enjoyed the distinguished honour of personally congra tulating the Provisional Junta of Spain and the Indies upon its triumphant passage through their town, cordially rejoices in repeating its most respectful congratulations . to your Serene Highness upon its installation, and the superior degree of con fidence which it justlideseives, hoping that Divine Providence will enlighten and direct it in managing the helm of the State in this frightdd tempest, during the captivity of our idolized King. The effective energies of your Serene Highness will doubtless overcome, in such intricate circumstances, - every dif ficulty, and will fulfil the religious hopes of all good Spaniards, by restoring to his Throne our beloved Sovereign and his royal family, now oppressed by impious ' bloody, and .regicidal hands. If to such a probable and grateful consummation ' should be added that of the re-establishment of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, the bulwark of the faith, the sentinel of re. ligion, and the terror of heretics, which is ardently desired by all good Spaniards, friends to the Altar and the Throne, in proportion as modern philoso hen and innovators detest and misrepresent 14 all their reli ous wishes would be gratified in their fullest extent.

What has England gained by the Reforma tion Y--asks 111 r. Cobbett. Ev6ry thing of which she may now boast-, all those special felicities, for which she is envied by every nation in the world, or fear. Within the circle of her happy shores the Inquisition could not hurl its dark vengeance upon him, who dared to think and to reason—it could neither restrain the progress of thought, nor repel the advance of knowledge; and, therefore, the political, religious, and literary condition of her people have advanced to that standard, the ad. vantage of which Mr. Cobbett is unable to discover. If he will not look to the period antecedent to the Reformation, let him look abroad at other countries, from which the light of that transcendent event has been excluded_ and what they are now, England would be also, had not religion been reformed, and in that depurated state established as the national religion of her people. Let him look to Austria—and he may be able to judge of what England would be, if, like Austria,. she had shut out the light, and doomed her people to ages of mental darkness. Instead of religion and morality; she would have had bigotry and superstition ; in. stead of sound and solid education, ignorance and prejudice ; instead of the high-minded, noble, and the independent and cultivated Gentleman, the illiberal sensualist, the pander to power, unmoved by sentiments of country or of liberty —sel fish, sordid, and pliant. If Mr. Cobbett would know more of what England has gained by the Reformation, by comparing her with countries where the struggles of the Reformation were suppressed by ignorance and superstition, let him read the nar rative of the adventures of' M. Schad, once a Benedictine of the Convent of Bans, but afterwards Professor of Philosophy in the University of Jena--and, although those Monks of Benz were contemplated as the intellectual luminaries of Ro man Catholic Germany, yet the excess of their superstition al most exceeds what is generally prevalent over two-thirds of Ireland. All those who either do not understand the Reformation, or who are its antagonists, through ignorance, prejudice, or t h e affectation of singularity, are often pleased to indulge in the gratuitous assurances, that without the Reformation knowledge would have spread, and, without communicating any strong or over-violent sho c k s , wou ld h ave corrected gradually and in. sensibly all the abuses in the church, and in civil policy. The authority of fact is the other way—Austria, Belgium, and even Spain, notwithstanding all that has passed, refute those smooth prcsumptions.-- - -There is no State which has continued its sub. mission to the Papal yoke which does not afford an argument against this liberal hypothesis.. The Roman Catholic Princes who adhered to. the Roman See, sought to bring reason and re ligion to their ancient state of bondage, by commotions as strong as any that had led to the emancipation of mind and faith in Europe—they waged a war of extermination against the. Pro testants, and fire and massacre were the congenial weapons by which they aimed at re-conversion; Warm arkable, too, that in the midst of the atrocious process of murder and rapine, .they charged upon their victims the very crimes which they were themselves committing ! What England may be, were it not for the Re- I f l o u r a n i i i a y_p tio rli n, c i t n i s ai d b b e y i e eve rr n e d rope from p t u e s l .v ibe fl ra .

Holy Thursday, his Holiness excommunicates and curses all the heretics, and particularly the Lutherans—and even the news papers of this our metropolis, which are most zealous for fa. vouring the principles anti the sentiments peculiar to the Pon tifical creed, never spare " the sacrilegious monk, Luther," nor the religion " most improperly called the Reformed."— The terms of the Papal Excommunication alluded to are as follow : " Nosigitur, vetustum et solonnem hunt moron seeuentes, excommunicanius et anathernatisamus ex parte Det Patris et Filii .it Spiritus Sancti, tic noarra, omnes nereticos, nee non damuatpm, impiam et abominabilem Mar tini Lutheri Ineresin sequentes, ac mimes fautores et recepta tores, lihros que ipsius Martini, out quorurovis abort= le gentes et generitliter quoa libet defensores."—(Buliar• Mag. Although before the Reformation there were two poirers generally ruling in Europt.,--th e one spiritual, and the other temporal --yet the head of the termer extended his authority and his absolute influence over every State indiscriminately; besides, a number of Di s l io p s and Prelates ha d usurperlover their flocks the authority of temporal Sovereigns; and in all the States of Europe the Clergy of all descriptions, regular and secular, possessed im mense wealth and power, and enjoyed considerable authority— by means of which the Church was able to press hard upon all political bodies, and, more or less, held a certain power over j their very existence. By the Reformation, England acquired the advantage of being reliev e d f rom a tute l age i ncompatible with any endurable modification of civil liberty. Down to the Treaty of Westphalia, the politics of . Europe turned upon religion—since that, the .financial and,commercisl spirit . has been ascendant; but an effort is now making to restore the old Provocative in all its rankness and pungency. The Treaty 'of - Westphalia has been acknowledged by the Holy See. The sudden cessation of Ecclesiastical authority and Jurisdiction, in consequence of the Reformation, produced a *count in England, which was immediately filled up by the civil power; and, as civil )ewer .increased, liberty settled itself upon more sound and faithful foundations than before. Mr. Cobbet either does not perceive this advantage, or denies the latter, we should be curious to know his reasons. .Papism governed by no law—it ruled by its own power ; and when he. relics were persecuted, it was by a requisition to the Prince from the Pope, and not by a law of the State, except where the law itself was made at the instance, or by command, of the Pontiff. England gained something by losin g suc h illustra tions of the Papal prerogative. She gfined, too, by the power which her Sovereign acquired as the bead of the Church; of that new power he could not but- make, after the first troubles had subsided, a legitimate and an equitable use—because he acquired it through the confidence of his people; both So. vereign and people had in this change all the accessory ideas of liberty and confidence roused into action. The sons of the Refer. mation made common cause with their Princes for liberty, and a community of interest and action between both, and bonds of closer union, were the consequences —and this was something for England. It is the energy of men's minds which constitutes true liberty I—under Papal - oppression that energy never could fully develope itself, and be transferred, for Its preservation, in modified forms, into institutions. The publie spirit which flourishes in all Protestant States has carried its possessors an immense way in advance, before all other religiou s , communities--England beyond 'the world—and this is som e - ' thing to owe to the Reformation. At first the Refortna tion was only the asserting of liberty in the order of re. ligious affairs—it soon applied to the asserting of liberty in a political system—and, in England, the tr ue li ne b e- J tween speculative and practical republicanism was discovered, 1 because Protest a n t Princes and subjects equally sought the tame object. If' Mr. Cobbett will but peruse the lan. gnege of ROlll4ll Catholic Sovereigns, and compare it with that of Protestant Sovereigns, to their people--he will soon perceive the difference, and, with that, an important benefit of' the Re formation to England. But the very proximate consequences of the Reformation, independent of the long train of consecu. tive advantages which bad matured under the mellowing in fluence of time, were of immense importance. The energy which followed the civil commotions produced by the differ- onces of religion—the wholesome lessons taught by a recollec tiottof their afflictions—the endearment of that liberty which was purchased at the coat of' so much blood—the toleration of all opinions, which is properly said to be, the natural successor of' the intoxication of fanaticism—these were all great and durable results, By the wars which followed the Refor mation, true principles of politics came to be discovered-- and, since, it has been the first policy of England to acquire real strength, by pursuing the prosperity of the nation in commerce, by maintaining a good public spirit, and by attaching the people to their Government. Former revolutions employed men's arms—the Reformation exercised their heads—and the people ever since have been growing into importance, and acquiring a consciousness of that, and of their utility, and social order is adjusted upon truer principles than formerly. Where there was a throne and no people, no ancient good was preserved, ne new one acquired. Spain and Portugal, after the discovery of America and the Cape of 000 d Hope, held the commerce of the Old and New Worlds. Impelled by the energies and religious commotions of the times, Eng. land and Holland soon wrested frOm 'the hands of besotted Princes the trident of the seas- The SPaniards and Portuguese were lounblid befbre the Inquisition —the English and Dutch, with crests raised high by, freedom, engrossed to themselves the commerce of the world—and to those powers Europe at this day owes the whole of it s maritime and commercial system. Those things flow out of the Refomiation and must, we should presume, be considered as benefits, tho u gh *Mr. Cobbett does net pleese to consider them i n th at To the Reformation is to be ascribed the high-aiming Spirit, the proudly raised li berty of Englaiiii- _and to her liberty, her trade and cortmetve.

POLICE INTELLiGENCE. ROBBERY OF JEWELS. 3.tale stott-IlotrYesterdaY,` Sheaiynan and his WO were placed at the bar; the former charged by Mr. Willi the auctioneer, with having robbed him of three valuable mond rings from the Auction Mart, and the latter with dispott( ing of the mine to Mr. S a dl er , a pawnbroker, residing Bishopsgate, for one part of their value. Mr. Williams stated to the LORD MAYOR, that he and the an auctioneer, was about to make up a sale at the Mart, and the male prisone r was emp l oyed by him to lot the articles ; when: he came to the articles in question, they were not to be found,' and the prisoner denied all knowledge of them. Hence he ay.' : plied to Mr. Isaacs, who declarea that they were delivered into, the custody of his (witness's) porter. Mr. Isaacs stated, that he went to the house of the prisoner with an officer, who denied having taken them for some time,. but afterwards confessed the robbery, and the wife stated that she had sold them for 10s. to Mr. Sadler's shopinim Appb. cation was made to Mr. , Sadler; but he was not at home. The shopman denied all knowledge of diamond rings, and inquired for the duplicate, to which witness replied that they were bought, and not pledged, and that the articles were worth. 201. which he had bought for 10s. Mr. Sadler at length made his appearance, and coolly observed, that he should.have blamed his man had he bought paste rings for diamonds; but witness considered that lie had a paramount duty to perform to the public, and see that diamond rings were not bought for paste. George Soden, the shopman, stated, that he bou g ht the rings now produced ( g old, b eaut if u ll y chased, and set with diatnondS), and consider e d, them paste; admitted that he inspected theta, through a microscope, and that he considered them not to beset' with precious stones. The witness further stated, that he soli the articles to his employer on his return home, when he said he had doubts whether they were not diamonds, and would have, : them assayed. The female prisoner was allowed to state the facts relative-to the sale, without saying any thing as to the manner by which she obtained possession .as it might criminate her husband. After Mr. Isaacs (a Gentleman just returned from India), had addressed the Court, the LORD MAYOR said, that he was determined to see Mr. Sadler on this important business, and ordered the accused to be remanded until to-inorrow. GuiLDUALL.—Yesterday as soon as Alderman Cox had taken his seat, a young man, by trade a ladies' shoemaker, who gave his name Thomas Cooke, was put to the bar eta a charge of having robbed Mr. Thomas Cope, of No. 0, Bon ling-allc}', of a new suit of clothes, five sovereigns, and what. Cope deposed, lie was a lodger in the same house with Ole. prisoner, and about the 14th inst he missed the property. in ques tion from a trunk in his own apartments. During his absence in the day the 'door had been wrenched open, the cover of the trunk broke, and the articles. with the money, taken thereout• Some duplicates were found on the prisoner of property that had been pledged, which a pp eare d to relate to his ; but on in • quiry he found it did not, nor was lie able to trace any part of Mr. Alderman Cox.—There is no evidence against the Pri% soner at all. A stranger, *ho had just entered the office, with a lane leg and list shoe on, then said-- W ith all due deference to your: Worship, there is a Gentleman in Court whom I anticipate can prove the prisoner a thief. The Gentleman then appeared, who happened to be thalami.. lord of the house in which the prisoner had lodged ; he saida when this rumour took place, i lhe prisoner dee:wiped, and, though there was no t race o f Me other articles belonging to Mr. Cope, he could prove a felony. Ile had made a pals of shoes for another young man in the house, which had subse' quently been found at the prisoner's recent lodgingsi and were there worn as slippers by him ; in addition to all this his wife saw the prisoner go out with a hat on ; be had but one hat, and' the hat he usually wore is now left behind. Alderman Cox.—This is strong circumstantial evidence, but no proof of the felony. There is little doubt. but the prisoner is dishonest. Another person in whose employ the prisoner had got, since leaving.

The particulars of this, ease were stated in our Paper of yesterday. In addition to the former evlklenee, a Dictionary called " alker's Abridgment" was produced, which was found in Calluses shop. Mr. Bens- Icy stated, that to the best of his belief the copy of the Dictionary' was his property, and had been stolen from his premises. 12 months sinc e severa l copies of the above work were printed Clapperton, wareh ouseman to Mr. Beasley, said, that about by Mr. Ilensley, and on that occasion he (witness) deposited two remaining copies hi , a particular place on the premises. However, on examining that place yesterday, he found one of the copies had been taken away, and he had no doubt the copy now produced was the same that had disappeared. The Magistr a t e was satis fi ed with the evidence adduced against the prisoners, an t i f u ll y committed them both for trial. Cahuac will of course be admitted to bail.

MELANCHOLY OCC nom E.—Yesterday, about four o'clock In the afternoon, a young man, while conversing with two persons, in Howe Street, dropped down, and immediately expired. The body, after being inspected by a medical gentle man, was conveyed to Stockbridge, where we understand the deceased resided.—(Ecfinbuegh Observer, Aug. 25.) An old woman from the Meal Fennel was fined 2s. 6d. for entering the house of a neighbour, and carrying off a flagon of milk, a pennyworth of tea, three herrings, and five halfpence, in lieu of-a bad sixpence which she had immediately before received from him for a gill of whiskey.— it was very evident she had been imposed upon. Her only argument (which she urged strongly) in defence, was that she was " a puir auld wife" — nig her husband had been " an honest mho, 25 years a constable"—and particularly, that " she kent the Bailie when he was a bairn."- -( Perthshire courier.)
