THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY . „ Nxtraots from the Morning P apers, November 18. • [THE TIMES.) 'Farther attempts were made yesterday to bring Gttebhard's.Bonds into circulation at the Stock- Exchange ;, but the opposition to them was still more decided than at tirSt, and the design is now shown by experience to be quite hopeless. From the principal merchants of the city to the lowest elasasof dealers in foreign securities, nearly all tire equally opposed to the issue of this base ctn.. rency. • To give Ferdinand his due, however, it Ahopld be observed that there are many well in. 'formed merchants who doubt whether be has yet evinced any positive intention of committing to desperate a breach of public faith as the agents of M. Guebhard both here and in Paris ,would have the Spanish Bond-holders believe. All the operations, and all the intelligence on the 'subject, have been confined to a party of speculators in Paris, who are supposed to be little scrupulous in their means of attaining their -object. It is strongly suspected, therefore, that the whole is the result of a nefarious confederacy to create a false panic, and induce the holders of the Constitutional Bonds to part with them at a price far below their value. In this project Guebhard's loan Is made the principal bugbear ,• the mere facts of its iltiVittg been negociated, and the terms with which it is supposed to he accom panied, being quite sufficient for the purpose. — M. Guebhard may have obtained from some of the Ministers of Ferdinand, the permission, if he is able, to raise money,and the form of a contract has, without doubt, been gone through ; but he now finds what he then knew—the completion of it on his part, by raising the money, to be impracticable. We may add, that M. uebhurd's rank in the mercantile world rendered the execu tion impossible. But he probably foresaw that the contract, if not valuable in itself, would become so by the terror it would produce among the holders of the Spanish securities it was sup posed to invalidates and that of this terror it would he possible for a skilful speculator to take advantage and ,reali4e enormous profits. This we believe to be the true character of the whole transaction. We do not, however, assert our believe that Ferdinand is incapable of the breach of faith that is attributed to him, but merely that there is no evidence at present of its having been committed. [NEW TIMES.I We yesterday received Letters and Papers from Paris to a late hour on Saturday evening. Our Correspondent states, that the Rentes were 'done after the regular close of business that day it'iiiOf,lsc. which was an advance of 5 centimes .oncthe closing price of Friday. The reason as signed' for this' improvement was the appear ance of a short article, considered to •he official, in the Journal des 'Mats. This 'Wrticle is . deserving of great attention in two Oink of view ; first, it not only avows the de termined intention of Ministers to dissolve the CharOber of Deputies (which was known before), 'but it explititty avows that the object of . this 'measure- is to propose a septennial duration of -the Chamber ; thereby bringing It still closer in similitude to an English Parliament. The second point worthy of notice in this article is, that it an nounces the restoration of a good understanding between the Ministers and the different branches -of .the Royalist party. It had been believed in Paris, that the Ministers hoped by the Dissolution "to some of the more violent of their old friends, and to till the Chamber with moderifs ; it is now declared substance,' that the in iiiiitienee of Government' will . be used to secure 'the re-election of all the Royalist Members ; and 'Oat the Ministers will thus prove that they have abandoned neither their principles nor their Blends.--- It is gratifying to us Britons to see how 'closely foreign Witions copy our admirable COn stitution. The insolent and ignorant blockheads of the Cortes spurned the advice of the Duke of Wellington to this effect ; but we see France wisely adopting our Septennial - Law : and upon examining the new Constitution proposed for Orazil, it is gratifing t 9 see how much nearer it approaches . than anyother recent system of the kind in the. British model. •• MESS.] it Is 'nnw'clear that the confederated Powers Of 'Europe will attempt to dictate to South Ame.. rico, and that the eye of the French Cabinet is Sill unchangeably fixed on those fine colonies. 'The Ultra Papers of Paiii are' daily occupied with discussions on this most interesting theme. It has' tilled the 'columns; alteinately of. the OrlY Eamme. and Mode, and the Drapeau 'Blanc now f i gures - . prominently in' the same field. "Is England (this' paper asks); neutialisied " during the the social struggle, disposed all " 'at 'once to arouse and interfere, under "'the ;shield of her armaments, at' a distance cc of two thnusand leagues? Is she dispos 'ed, In fact, explicitly to recognise the 'hide..

Iti preseries, through the des perate fidelity of a few isolisled partisin' the shadow of something of her former soverei i, gnty ; but in Mexico, Chili, and Colombia, a wreck of her ascendancy does not remain. Morales was driven from the shores of the latter country, and is now at the Havannah, a predatory buccaneer. --Brazil, in the same way, expelled Madeira, and is now a Monarchy, utterly independent of feeble Portugal. Are a few despots on the Continent of Europe to set themselves up as arbiters of the world, nud arrest the irresistible course of time and circumstances ? and while they possess, with the exception of France, nei ther maritime resources nor commerce, ►s England to annihilate the pursuits of her merchants, and check all her foreign relations, at the bidding of a despotic confederacy of this description ; !, So long as Spain possessed a vestige of authority in these countries, she took no step towards any ac credited intercourse with them. [MORNING POST.] We received 'last night, by Express, French Papers to the 17th inst. The Royal Ordonnance for the dissolution of the Chamber was expected to appear immediately, the Electoral Colleges to be convoked for the 15th of January, and the Chamber for that day month. Preparations have already been made by the Ministers to procure satisfactory returns. Almost all the Royalist Members of the present Chamber are said to have been appointed Presidents of the Electoral Colleges ; its consequence of which one of the Opposition Papers pertinently asks—" why the Chamber should be dissolved, since it was intended that the new one should consist of the saint! Members ?"—To this the Joirnal des DAats frankly answers—" that the Government wishes to have the same Chamber, because it is a Royalist one ; but that it intends to dissolve it at present in order that all the elections may be of the same date, with the view of afterwards proposing a septennial renovation, which it regards as alone calculated to ensure the repose and salvation of the Monarchy. 44 Nothing," it adds, 66 can be more clear or more consistent, It replies to all objections, to all insinua ons, and even to all calumnies; and proves once that the Ministers do not forsake their principles or their friends." This open avowal of a determination to interfere with the freedom of election and to procure a set of ministerial tools instead of na►ional representatives, is another proof, if any were wanting, of the total disregard of public opinion which success in Spain has en couraged the French Ministry to display.— lied it not considered itself so strengthened by the issue of the late war, as to set decency and decorum at defiance, it would have resorted on this occasion to its usual diaguises. But they are now thrown off, in the confidence that power has rendered further caution or shame facedness unnecessary. [MORNING CHRONICLE. 3 The Phaeton has brought letters from Mexico, the latest date of which, we understand, is the 20th of August. According to the contents of some mercantile letters we have seen, the whole of New Spain is in a quiet and settled state, although a difference of opinion had hitherto pre vailed among some of the Provinces as to the form of Government hereafter to be adopted. All the Provinces had formed local assem blies to discuss this topic, as well as the pro priety of acknowledging, in the mean while, and until a definitive form should be adopted, the Supreme Provisional Government, as it hud been established at Mexico. The Federative plan, of the success of which the United States offer so proud an example, had been recommended for adoption in New Spain, and the Provisional Government, instituted after the downfall of Iturbide, were desirous that it should be adopted, as the best means of rendering the union of all efficient.—The Provinci! of Guatemala was also invited to coalesce, but the inhabitants preferred forming a Government of their own, and the Ex ecutive was confided to three persons. Gua temala may, therefore, for the present, he considered as a distinct nation from Mexico, al though it was thought, that, in the course of time, the local prejudices would be destroyed, and a coalition , be evetually formed between them. At first,several of the Mexican Provinces, owing to their distance, supposed diversity of in terests, and those local prejudices, which, creat ed by the old Spanish Rulers, had shewn a dis position to establish a separate independent Go vernment of their own, from which, however, they had been dissuaded on account of the tend , ency of such a system to affect the strength of the whole. The Congress were, consequently, , engaged in drawing up the plan on which the ge neral Federation was to be founded. • ' [MORNING HERALD.] Mr. Canning has returned to London, after rather a conspictieus excursion into the country. The speeches 'delivered by him, in reply to the homage not unjustly offered to his official dignity, his talentsi and his personal consideration—the publicity with which he showed himself—and the readiness , with which he met the zeal of those who did the honours of their respective communities and Corporations to him as he paised, are strong reasons to believe that his ex. tursiVe visits had an object beyond mere recrea. Alen. , When Mr. Canning visited Liverpool, and let off a brilliant harangue, for the satisfaction and admiration of .ail the Burgesses of that -town, there was no mistaking his design. The'motive of •his late.exeursions and appearances is said to be pretty, nearly the same. His object was— if we may use the 'term, to pcipuiarize himself. It might be suspected that this maisumuvre looks like a conscioustiesS of weakness in the Cabinpt, and that he is - nianaging, - against all casualties, the means 7 ' or retreating with ecial. ft is cer lainly the time that Mr. Canning has shown himself , particularly studious of popular favourl' 'it is--more probable 'ivovvever, that- this changeof system is a proorof increased strength Mitt ' enfarge& ambition: Notwithstanding his acknowledged talents,' and• something in his pe. collar endowments and accemplishments, well calculteted to fetich - late the popular gaze, he here. Wore' canarchrto Foilice nod Went out without exeitlhe 'a' ,sensatiOn '• .beyond the imniediate circle of the Administration. But upon the deith of Lord Londonderry he•ftvidently came in with the intention of occupying. and maintaining higher ground. Instead 'of being counted only as one member of a party in the Cabinet adhering to a leader, he would be himself a leader , ; and as he knows that a leading Minister in England must have an individual hold upon national opi nion, and fill a large space in the public eye, he has put himself forward singly in more promi nent relief. How far he has succeeded in this, is a thing not to be decided in a moment. — His position has been difficult. The least at tention to his career in office, and his speeches in Parliament, will suggest a doubt whe ther he has been able to execute his own intentions. His design at the outset evident ly was to distinguish his Administration from that of Lord Londonderry. His line of policy was not to be a continuctndo of that of his pre decessor. But this was an embarrassing po sition, and the perplexity in which he found himself sometimes escaped indirectly through his speeches in Parliament. One night he took care to counteract impressions circu lated through the midium of the Press, of his intention to depart from the foreign policy of his deceased rival ; and when the admirers of the latter triumphed in' this implied adhesion of Mr. Canning to the policy of Lord Londonderry, he took occasion to contradict, and gently rebuke these also. But if the march of his Administta tion. be observed since he came into office, does he appear to have made any deviation from the course which his predecessor would probably have pursued. There has certainly been a change of tone in his speeches. He seems to have made a truce with Jacobinism, and has touched more rarely and lightly upon Radical Reform. He even made in his splendid orations upon, or rather against, the French invasion of Spain, some professions of faith, so near what is understood by the term " liberalism," that his habitual opponents at home were quite eager in their hopes of him, and he was highly compli mented by the Liberals of Paris, But this proves only an opposition to a certain degree between his administration and his speeches. The pro test of Lord Londonderry against the Mani festo of Laybach applies exactly to the line which Mr. Canning has pursued. There is even no essential difference that can be perceived on the face of both transactions, between the policy of the one Minister regarding the inva sion of Naples, and that of his successor, re specting the invasion of Spain. Mr. Canning still, in his speeches during his late excursion, put forward his love of liberty, his respect for what are called Constitutional rights—studiously, not to say affectedly. But he has yet to do something to signalize his Administration, and distinguish it from that of the Minister who went before him. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 17. The Court was occupied the whole of the day in hearing bankrupt cases, of which not one possessed any interest, save that of" De Tastet v. Latham and Parry." NVe refrain, how. ever, from reporting it at present, as it was only partially beard, and as an intimation was thrown out by the Lord Chancellor that it would be unjust to Mr. De Taste to . publish any account of the proceedings • whilst he had no opportunity of making a reply to them. ,Tbe case is to be further heard on Saturday next. IX RE 0011RLA.Y. On the LORD CHANCELLOR'S rising to leave the Court, Mr. HART observed, that as his Lordship had now been put in possession of an authenticated copy of the Judge's notes, and had also received from Mr. ()outlay certain maps of the estate regarding which this litigation had arisen, it would be satisfac tory to his Grace, the Puke of Somerset if his Lordship would allow them to be deposited in the hands of some officer of the Court, in order that they might be inspected by his Grace's agent. lie did not presums to fix any day for this inspection, but he trusted that his Lordship would accede to his motion for its being granted, as it was of great importance that the plans given in should be correct. The Lora) CHANc ET.1.011 said that he was ready to receive any plan that his Grace's agents might O'er to him in Court, provided Mr. Gourley were also present. lie would after Wards compare the plans of the two parties, and decide upon them to the best of his abilities. There had been, however, so much irregularity already in the prosecution of this suit, and so much inconvenience had resulted from it, that he was determined not to hear either party makes motion whilst the other was out of Court. The Learned Counsel must therefore mention this matter again, when Mr. Oourlay was in Court, if he in. tended to carry any thing by his motion. Whilst he was upon this subject, he would remark that he had received a letter from Mr. ourlay on Saturday, in which lie had pressed him to give judgment in this cause in the course of the ensuing week. Now it was his custom not to read any letters which he knew to come from the suitors of his Court : and in this case he threw down the letter as soon as he saw the name of Gouda) , subscribed to it. Before he did so,. he had however seen enough to inform him of what the general nature of its contents werelikely to be. lie would therefore now say, that he would give judgment in that case, as soon as he could come to a pro per decision upon it, consistently with that consideration which was due to the interests of the other suitors of the court and those other occupations in which his own time Was neces sarily engaged. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, N0v.17. THE KING .. v. MANTLE. _ Ir.''PLarr moved that the recognizances of the defendant and his bail should be enlarged till next term.' . He was a mer. chant residing at Calais, who had suffered judgment by default to an indictment for a misdemeanour,. and who was this'day to have received the sentence of the Court. Before the notice re. quiring his attendance had arrived, lie had set out for Paris, and therefore could not be brought IMO court this term. Under these circumstances, the Learned Qounsel hoped the recog. nizances would not be entreated. - ' The COURT observed; that if the defendant . should now be, called,on, his recognizances would not be entreated till. next term ; unit therefore, on his appearance in that term, is mo. tion to stay,the estreats Might 'preient the forfeiture. This, therefore,' would be the best course to pursue. The defendent was then called on his recognizances, ant The SOLICITOR.OENERAL Moved that his recognizances be estreated ; which was ordered accordingly. TAYLOR v. wavEss. This was an application to the Court to set aside the outlawry of the defendant, on an obiection to the form in which one of the proclamation; was m a d e . •T ife COURT directed that the outlawry should be set aside, on the terms of the defendant appearing, and putting in bail to the action. - THE SING v, J. W. TRUST. The Soucrroti-Ogxenar, moved flir the judgment of the Court on the defendant, who was convicted at the last sittings for London, on an ex-tecio information charging him with the publication of a blesPhemous libel on the Christian Religion and the Holy Scriptures. • The defendant, a young man , of respectable appearance, ad. dressed the ,Court, and begged that tire case might stand for a futtire day, as he wished - to piepare affidavits, and as he had instruatal Counsel, whom he had only been able to see on the preceding evening, and who had. not found time to prepare him self in the interval. The Limn Oilitr • JusTICE asked who his Counsel WAS, • and whether he was present.. The defendant laid Mr. French was his coun s e l . he LORD CHI Er-JUSTICE inquired whether Mr. French Wished for the delay.. ' MN Entarett'rose and replied in the affirmative. The case was ordered to stand till Thursday. THE ,ICIKO L ODER AW) tutgEswooP, 'The Scit,fc tVott-tiErttitAi . prayed for the judgment or. the Court on Richard Older, a seaman, and Mary Ure.anwood, who were convicted atiherlast Asskres for Kent, on art information charging them with a riot at Dover. It appeared fromihe report of the trial, that a:person limbed Sharp had been arrested.Ml a warrant for as offence against the excise laws, and the (Aters were conveying him to prison, when a great mob, to the number of 600, in which there were man women and boys, attacked the officers, and made a riot which continued for five hours. Mr. Justice BAYLjY passed the sentence of the Court, that •Older should be imprisoned in the jail at Maidstone, and kept. to hard labour, for 10 calendar months, and find security for good behaviour for three years, himself in 501. and two sureties in 101. each; and that Mary Greenwood should be imprisoned in the House of Correction of St. Augustin's, near Canterbury, for '$ calendar months, and find two sureties for her good be haviour for 3 years. The woman held a child in her arms during the proceedings, and was carried fainting out of Court after the sentence. TUE RING v. T. STUNT. This defendant also appeared to receive; judgment; haying been found guilty of a violent and brutal assault on one of the Officers of Excise, who went to the house of his father, a far mer, in Sussex, in search of smuggled liquor. Some difficulty had occurred in proving the identity of the defendant, which Mr. PLATT this day made the ground of a motion for a new trial. The application was refused by the Court. • The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. GURNEY were heard in support of the prosecution, and in aggravation. Mr. Justice BAYLEY passing judgment observed, that the offence was committed in 1821, prior to a recent Act of Par liament which enabled the Judges to inflict hard labour. The Learned Judge made the remark, because where violence was committed on officers in the discharge of their duty persons must expect hard labour to be inflicted in their punishment.—. The Court, taking into consideration some circumstances in behalf of the defendant, sentenced him to three months' im prisonment in Horsham Gaol. He was also required to find security for his good behaviour for three years, himself in 1001., and two others in 801. each. THE XING V. NEVIL. The SOLICITOR-GUNERAt moved•for the judgment of the Court on the detendant, who suffered judgment to pass against him by default on two informations—one charging him with attempting to bribe a seaman to connive at the landing of smuggled spirits ; the other alleging that he made a signal to communicate with a smuggling vessel at sea. On the part of the defendant, affidavits were put in to chew that the first overtures for the bribery came, not from him, but from the seaman. The Cott RT, adverting to the circumstances thus disclosed, sentenced the defendant on the first information to two months, and on the second to one month's imprisonment in Maidstone gaol. THE SING V./STOCKS AND ANOTHER. Mr. SCATMETi moved for a rule to show cause why a cri minal information should not be exhibited against Mr. Stocks, a collier, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, and another gen tleman, a Magistrate of that division. A man named Ker shaw and his son and apprentice, who was under age, were working for Mr. Stocks, and his father became indebted to him in between 30/. and 40/. As he left the service, Mr. Stocks took him before the Magistrate, who committed not only him, but his son for three months to prison. While they were in cofinement, the turnkey brought them a paper to sign, offering them their liberation if they would sign it, and representing it as a mete agreement to return to their work. They accordingly signed it, were set at liberty, and returned to the service of Mr. Stocks, where the father reduced the debt to 5/., and then gave notice of his intention to pay that sum and to leave his master. On receiving this notice, Mr. Stocks sum moned them again before the Magistrate, when he asserted that they had agreed to continue in his service for a term, by a writ ten agreement which he declined to produce. The Magistrate, without requiring to look at the agreement, committed both father and son for two months, although the latter, being under age, was incapable of binding himself by a contract, and though the Magistrate was warned to: that effect by an attorney.' Such conduct the Learned Counsel submitted, raised a strong pre sumption of corrupt motive.—The Court granted a rule to show cause. EAVES v. BELT AND ANOTHER. Mr. JowEs showed cause against a rule, obtained by si gen tleman named Eaves in person, calling on Mr. Belt and his son, clerks in the Crdwn Office, to return to him certain fees which he had paid them. Mr. Eaves was indicted for a libel, and, according to the practice of the Crown Office, was obliged to procure the respite of his recognizances from term to term, before trial ; for this purpose, he applied to the defendants, and they received from him the regular fees. -These gentlemen po sitively swore_ that they had taken none but the usual and an cient charges, and were extremely anxious for the full vindica tion of their character. The COURT asked whether Mr. Eaves had seen the -aft. davit ; and finding that ha had.,nok, directed the case to stand over, in order that he might have time to peruse it. Mr. Joxzs handed, his affidavit to Mr. Eaves, and the mat ter dropped for the present. COURT Or COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 17. STOCEHAW v: TRENCH.SPRATT V. THE samr. Mr. Serjeant PELL moved for a rule to.sliew cause .Why the allowance for bail in these eases should not be set aside,- and the costs paid by.the. defendant. The names of the bail were, James Owen and James Hough t and they' appeared in that Court on Friday last tojustify. On that occasion Owen posi tively and distinctly swore, when under examination, that his name was J. Owen, and that hehadnever gone by any other ; and being asked if he had ever been remanded by the Insolvent 'Debtors` Court, he answered that he never had,'And addathat he had never been in gaol on any . . account in all his life. An affidavit, however, which he (Serjeant Pell) held in his hand, and proceeded to reed, sworn by Mr. Shute; of Milbank-street, stated that the deponent had formerly been professionally em ployed by the said Owen's wife before marriage, and by the said Owen after their marriage; that his name was not James, but John, and that he was arrested and sent to prison , in the year 1821, and gave notice to the deponent of his inten. tion to apply for his discharge' under' the Insolvent Debtors' Apt, and that, upon his making that application, he was op posed by the deponent, and remanded by the Court for the i term of two years. . The other bail, James Hough, also swore, on coming tip to justify, that he had never been in prison for debt: but it was sworn in the affidavits of several parties, which the Learned Serjeant now read,-that the iaid James Hough in 1819 tarried on the business of a shoemaker, and that in the month of June in that year he left his residence there, and went into custod y in White Cross-street prison. It was generally said that if bail swore falsely, when they came to Justify, they might be indicted for perjury; but both that Court and the Centrt of King's Bench had exercised their authority, the contempt of Court being so great, and the injury to the .party so aggra vated by ordering . bail so conducting themselves to be lei in the pillory.' 'There was also an instance where a man was or dered to be committedby Mr.,Justiee,Best. . , . • MA Justice Buanouou—" That was a case where the per was detailed before the Learned Judge himitelf." - - The Learned Serjeant then proceeded to quote authorities. 'An indictment for perjury could gIVe no satisfaCtion 'to the party,injitree4 and unless the rule of the Conn' was absolutely opposed to even an exercise of their authority, he trusted their Lordships would think this it'fit ease for its,exereise. Mr. Justice PARK said that the statement that had just been rnade, was of course, ex-park, and it was one that really'asto nished him exceedingly, for lie remembered the case perfectly well, and remarked at the time, that he never had heard in • swots given to an examination with more coolness :and- appa rent fairness. The proceeding which it was now sought to adopt was one which operated- entirely against the defend • 21, his t a v we was e s b r e w iL , 4 l o i no i m en te " a falsely , d I l a 1 e the re present. `the• and the application was made without any a ffi davits, atteni t ing to show that he in any way participated in the perjury at was alleged to have been et c: hee im mel 7 ,: i hgu t ie t ne e dhi d este b il y it fore he did not, feel authorised to grant this motion. - Tiritli re. sect( partiesr t toew(t) were before parti es b n e o f t ore comm i twthheoC ourt , w Mr. Justice BURROUOH concurred.—Rule refused. • We regret having to announce the .4eath of Ous'rAVUß Rocktronr, Esq. late Member for,the county of Westmeath.
