TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY kart:at from the Morning Papers, July 15. [THE Tram.] Letters were received yesterday from Car litagerka, dated the 22d of May. Gen.Soublette bad Arrived there to take upot himself the °face of the Intendant of the Department of the Mag dalene. The report, therefore, of his having, been appointed on a mission to this country is entree. Letters from the President himself, had be received at Cartitagetta, dated subsequently' to the treachery of the troops in Callao, in which, with ills , characteristic ardour, he still augurs fa. vottrably of his ultimate prospects in Pere. He bad written for fresh supplies of troops, arms, and ammunition, to furnish which great exertions were making at Carthagena, and a frigate so freighted was to sail immediately for Chagres. The come munications from Bogota, the capital or Co lombia, to the coast, were likely to be rendered more expeditious, it having been discovered that the river Meta, which falls into the Apure, was navigable to within a few miles of that city.— Commercial prospects were improving et,Car thagena, in consequence of the known solicitude of the Government at Bogota to protect and, fa. your the merchants , particularly those of Great Britain. We learn with pleasure, that one of those 1 - places of resort called " Hells," in St. James's street; has been deteqed, and is likely to have its practices disclosed by legal proceedings. The , personages frequenting the place , are devils of a higher rank : and great pains were taken to 41- -luta such , by the splendour of the furntture, the lichuess of the fare, and'the humbug of a pre tended ballot , for members : as if any other quality were necessary in the dupes of a gam. bling.house beyond those of possessing money, or having relations wham their misconduct may ruin or r ender unhappy:'---(lbid.) " - NORNING CHRONICLE.] The Conseis opened yesterday at 91, and reached . 94, 95, but a considerable 'gloom coati . !HO' hang over the market, and an at tie,itOt'inties reduced them in the course „. Of t, I . ay' t - o-' 941. Before the close of the day . theri Wei a 'slight reaction, and 940 was the closing price, - ,frarn. which .must be deducted the dividend now in course of ,payment,of 11.10 s. Tho deelitie; therefore, in the•Coustilli t within two ruontits,'ia'hot less than three, per cent., and at the same tinte, perhaps, in ' the whole com mercial history of England, money never was more abundant than at this moment. Several eminent capitalists attribute the general 'decline inittin value of European National Securities to theloans which England, during the last twelve . months, has contracted for with the new Am risen Republics, for they state that sales must have been made out of the previously existing national debts, before money could by advanced to America. A very slight attention, however, to the actual 'Mute of the Money Market 'wiil show bow extremely futile this excuse is for the decline whiCh hes Occurred in the value of publics Credit.. Three per cenL of redUction on the English debt of eight hundred millions, is equal to twenty.:four millions, and its the whole Sum advanced to America is only thirteen millions of stock, or about half that sum of cash, and as up wards of five millions of each has been applied, during the last year, to redeem, and consequently, la a. proportitinate degree, to enhance the value of the English National Debt, had the whole thirteen millions of Stock con tracted for in England by America been with drawn from the English funds, it would not have constituted one half of the sum lost by their de creased value•during the last two months Alone. When the fall of five per cent. in the French funds, of eight or ten per cent in those of Naples, and of a minor gradation in those of every State in Europe, is added to that which has taken place in the funds of the British Empire, it must up pear obvious that some other reason than the American Loansmust exist for the decline which bas taken place in the value of national credit during the last few weeks. The fact. is, the principles of the Holy Alliance are hourly be coming better known, and consequently are gra. dually inspiring the nations with fears and apprehensions for the future. [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the 13th inst. with the Riolle of Tuesday, reached us last night by express. They contain intelligence from Constantinople to the 13th of June, which states that Count Guilleminot, the , new French Ambassador, had been received with all the honours due to the Representative of a friendly Monarch. The In terpreter of the Porte had immediately repaired to Mil hotel to compliment him, and he was to have shortly audiences of the Grand Vizier and the Reis Effendi, and to be presented to the Grand Seignior. From the silence observed by the Government with respect to the operations of the' Turkish armament, it was Inferred, and no dou with justice, that If some defeat hod not been sus. tamed, at least nothing of importance had been achieved. Indeed private reports continued to Mate that Derwish Pacha had but 10,000 men nt the Pass of Therrnopite, and that all his ertillery bad fallen into the hands of the Greeks. These Paper, also publiah letters froffi Madrid to the behinning of the present month, which meution the probability that the Ambassadors of the; Holy Alliance would assemble in that cu. pital to consider of the situation of Spin, the oc cupation of Cadiz, and the future destiny of tug Balearic Werra*. " it, is not known," asy the let ters, " what part England would take on that oc. aasion, and it seems to ba feared that she would not approve, of the projects formed upon those par- Cruise points try the other Powers." It is scrimp; that any doubt should 1w entertained tespecting the part which Eugland would take on such occasion, since her Ministers have repeatedly declared in Parliament, that she net only would not, but that she had refused to atle.pd any Cith. gress on, the subject of Spttni'ih affairs. The King is said to have reiterated the expression of his determination never to recognize the independ ence of any of his former posiessions in America. It is added, that he had concluded a new loan for 60 millions of francs with a Dutch House; and that 10 millions were to be appropriated to the fitting out of an armament against South America! [NEW TIMES.] We received Sierra Leone Gazettes yesterday to the middle of May, and priVite letters from that Colony to the, oth. ult. They however afford no additional information from Cape Coast. The Acting Governor, the honourable Daniel Molly Hamilton, was taking the most active measures for the defence of the different Set tlements and Forts ; and on the 15th of May issued a Proclamation permitting the importa tion of horses, cattle, and provisions, duty free, until the Ist of November next. From this Gen tlernikn's long residence in the country and gene ral knowledge of its localities, the greatest con fidenco was entertaine&by the inhabitants of the measures he was pursuing. To add .to , the gene ral feeling of regret for, the loss of so.eiccellent an officer as their late Governor, .accounts had just after:been brought out by the Maidstone frigate of the melancholy fate 'of their late Naval Commander In Chief s Sir. George Collier, au officer whoseexertions on that , station were duly appreciated by the inhabitants, arid at a time when they anticipated his again visiting the Coast. [MIMS)! PR ss.] Letters were received yesterday from Car . thagena, dated the '24th of May. From them we learn, that notwithstanding the treachery and desertion of so many: of the Peruvian leaders, Bolivar was taking the most effectual measures for repelling and subduing the. Royalists. It was 'remarked, with just feelings of pride hr these letters ) that no Colombian has been guilty of the crime of joining the oppressors of his country. A great number of the Colombians were slaughtered at Callao, when it was delivered up tot the :Royalists. We have no accounts how Torre Tagle had been received by-ltis new associates, nor what progress the dissensions .0.1 the Spa niards had made amongst themselves. It Is not irn probable that Bolivar :May; after all, not ber quired to strike a blow,* seditious movement had taken place at Guayraluil,in thoproVince of Quito. It . was immediately suppresied by the Atithe.. rides. General Soublette, the new Intendant of 'Carthagena, was proceeding vigorously witltthe dispatch of his duties. A great and most bene ficel improveMent was perceptible in the revenue department: The rumour, , that the , . General had been appointed Envoy:to Great Britain was evidently, without the. least foundation. The British Commissioners were. very popular, and their presence had created the kindliest feeling . towards this , Country. Some';obserVations were lately made in the French' Chamber of De• puties by .M. de Noodles, in which he strongly urged his Government to adopt the same, policy, with, regard-Ito• South America that is pursued by ltngland, `l ire was 'Or. , Aered twits printed; :turtlAt may,. :therefore,. be fairly presumed not to ba widelyAissorrant'fron the opinion of tire.

The Ministers have not ventured to attack the Archbishop himself: They'have .cho• sett for their adversary—or their victim—the responsible Editor of . the Quoti4ittine, the first Journal that published the letter. The crimina lity of this epistle, is reduced to-three heads.—first i denying the right of the civil priveer to impute upon Bishops any regulations to it seeming ad. viseble, for the better regulation cif seminaries in France—secondly, denying the adMissibility of certain propositions already established by law— thirdly, treating the Minister's letter as , so. much waste paper, not deigning even to answer IL It remains .to be seen what course the.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S .BENCH, JUYL 14. TIM LINO V. WATSON AND BLISS. This was an indictment against two of the inhabitants of the parish of Bethnal Green for an assault on a person named Mann. The prosecution arose out of the disputes which have so long agitated the above parish. After 'a long party conflict, which ended in Mr. Britten's success and Mr. May's defeat, the parties . met annually to celebrate the victory. In'August last they had a dinner at the Mermaid, Hackney, exclusively for the friends of Britten. The prosecutor and a person named Berrenger went with a ticket to admit two. Berrenger gave the ticket at the door and advanced in. He then looked round for his companion, and found Bliss and Watson had turned him outside the gate. The assault was proved. • Mr. Bitorattard and Mr. C. PHILLIPS, as Counsel for the defendants, addressed the Jury. According to the representa tion of these Learned Gentlemen, a crowd had assemb led at the gates of the gardens, with intention to force their way in to see the fireworks: The constables, finding the pressure increase, sent for Mr. Watson and Mr. Bliss, who acted as Stewards ; and those persons, to preserve good order, pushed out Mann, who was attempting to force hiseway through the door. The LORD elitEr JUSTICLhad that they had no right to refuse Mann admission, when the ticket for two was produed by Berrenger. The Jury, .under all the circumstances, found both the de. fendants ai Ity: BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. ntvtxa S. GREENWOOD. Air. COMMON SETICIEAWT stated the circumstances. The plaintiff,. Elizabeth Irving, brought this action for one of the most serious evils which could - hefal a young, woman. Both parties were still young. • She Wait a young woman of the highest character, which enabled her to move in a higher sphere than her situation could have otherwise entitled her td: Ile was in a state of greater opulence. She had been liv ing with her mother. who carried on the business of poulterer, &c. in VVallingford, Berks, in the highest credit. The -defen dant was a son of a gentleman farmer. He paid his addresses to her with the utmost earnestness and assiduity. In 11118 he came to town with her t.) be married, but she being under age, and a license being therefore necessary, they delayed the ceremony. In 1819 she had the small-pox, which only called forth warmer expressions of a%ction from him. The conse tieences did not render her less attractive, and made no change In his attentions. She came to this county, and set up in the same business with her mother, at Twickenham. There he visited her, and was on the eve of marriage, dresses, &c. being bought; but his father-in-law now and his elder brother took him away. His attentions were continued up to January, 1822, when, under promise of marriage,ite triumphed over her virtue. In November she was delivered of a child. The defendant then neglected her, and bad since married another lady of greater opulence than the plaintiff. In these circumstances the Jury were called upon to give damages. Whatever objection could be made by another party, it did not lie with the defendant to found an objection on the success of his own promises, - and the confidence she reposed in his vows. They would consider the affliction of her mind, the reproaches of the world, and the ruin of her prospects in life, all occasioned by the misconduct of the defendant, and they would give such damages as the case Called for.

The libels.weral cert. tained in two letters, ote.of which was written to a client of the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Pr Lt. observed, that as this acton Was brought to vindicate the character of the plaintiff, the defendant was wil ling to acknowledge most publicly that the letters in question were written in a moment of irritation, and that the imputa tions which they cast upon the plaintiff, were altogether un founded. His client was also ready to make any fit apology to the plaintiff' for the use of the obnoxious expressions. Mr. Serjeant VAnattax consulted with his client, and said that he was ready, after what had passed, to take a verdict with nominal damages, and such costs as were usually charged be tween attorney anti client. Mr. Serjeant PELL consented to this proposal. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thought that the plaintiff in this case had acted very properly. His object had been to vin dicate his character; and the acknowledgment of the defendant that the aspersions which he had cast upon it were unfounded would answer that object much better even dial) obtaining the heaviest damages. The Jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages One shilling. SATCHELL V. LUCAS AND OTHERS. This was an action against the Sheriffs of Middlesex, to re. cover possession of goods which they had seized under an exe cution ; the person whose goods they were, having, as it was alleged, previously transferred all property in them to the pre sent plaintiff. The plaintiff, James Satchell, was valet to Mr. Warre, the Member for Taunton. His nephew, Thomas Satchell, to whom the goods had belonged, was a butcher, re siding at Mill-hill. A. verdict, with 51. damages, had beat re covered against him, for shooting a dog, which he stated had injured him in the neighbourhood, and he lost all his trade. The execution was levied for the costs and damages in this ac tion. HO was called, however, to prove, that on the 30th of May, previous to the execution, he conveyed all 'the property to the plaintiff, his uncle, and that his uncle had at different times lent him money, and supplied him with articles, such as rope, choppers for killingoxen, &c.; he carrying on the business for him, and receiving an allowance out of it of 00s. per week. Chief Justice Bxsv observed, that there was a positive sta tute, which declared, that although consideration was paid,.yet if it was with the knowledge of, and intent to defeat, an execu tion, it was fraudulent and void. Mr. Sergeant WILD, who conducted the plaintiff's case, contended, that would not touch this case. Bevan S'atchell's lather-in-law, raid he was present on the 30th May, when the deeds of conveyance were executed. After that time the property became the plaintiff's. lie himself had lent Thomas Satchell, who was distressed, money to carry on the business; but he had lost all his books and accounts con cerning?. Mr. Sergeant Vanostale began to address the Jury on the part of the defendant. Hi s L e a rne d Friend, Mr. Sergeant Pell, sitting between himself and his Learned Brother Wild, had said that he sat between the laughing and crying philo sophers. He (Mr. Sergeant Vaughtut t hoped the character of the langhing philosopher applied to him, for certainly It was more pleasant to go throu g h th e w or ld wi th a smiling than a weeping countenance. He was not surprised, however, that his Learned Brother Wild , had had his " sweet milk of human nature" soured this hot weather ; for of all the cases which had ever come before a' Court, this was the most suspicious.— From his experience in Courts, lie always began to suspect fraud when he.saw. that two or three witnesses and the plaintiff were relations. Fhis case smelt as strong of fiatul as' any of the meat in Satehell the butcher's shop; it was morethan flyblown ; it was actually alive with fraud. He-observed upon the number of persons who had been made defendants in this action. The complainants Were not content with the Sheriffs and Sheriff's officers, but they had dragged in the poor innocent attorney as a victim to be sacrificed on the altar of this butcher. The Learned Serjeant was proceeding to argue on the trick of the pleintiffsupplying his nephew with a few goods, when he was stopped by the Chief Justice, who said that, without going further, , he would take the opinion of the Jury. Mr. Serjeant WILD submitted, before that was done, that thislissignment was good as between James • and Thomas Sat. shell; and if it were good as between them, embody could dis pute but the plaintiff had.a legal right of action. Mr. Serjeant Van offaWobserved - that the conveyance was on the,3oth May, the first day-of the Term-after the verdict against Thomas Satchel!, on which day it was known judgment would be entered up. Chief Justice BEST—Gentlemen of the Jury, do you think. there has been an open and tsetorioue - tranefer of this property; do you believe, after having heard the evidence, that dila is a fair conveyance, and a fair and open delivery of posaession, or is the whole a fraud ? if you think . it is, you will find for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant WILD submitted that the Learned Judge was not warranted in puting that question. Isbell, said the Learned Sergeant, tender a-bill of exceptions, because the question is not whether it is a fraud. Cti-txr JUST rcx—Write down your bill of exceptions now, that Inlay understand it. The Jury here said--We all agree that it is an attempt to defraud. CHIEF JUST will venture to say there Is not &human being present who lies-not thought so for the last three hours. • illy: Sergeant WILD read his bill of exceptions, which was as -follows :—That upon the eviden c e in th e cause i t i s not compe tent to dispute the plaintiff's property, and that as between the parties • upon this record, and upon the present evidence, the plaintiff has established a right to the property, and -the defend ants have given no evidence. CHIEF - JUSTICE---I will put no such question upon this record, because Lhave asked the Jury do they think possession Irv, delivered, or was It all a fraud ? .

Here the matter. ended: GREEK LOAN. _ _ DE W!TZ iv. HENDRICK. Mr. Serjeant PELL stated the - plaintiff's case to the Jury, and observed, that his client had - been compelled to bring his action for the recovery of papers that were of the g reatest. con sequence to him, which had got into the defendant's hands, and which he had refused-to give up. • The plaintiff; Gen e r a l De' Wits, had been deputed on the part of the Greeks to raise a loan, and he had been induced by the representations of Mr.. Cointesse, whose name was known to some of the Jury in con sequence of trial of yesterday, to apply.t6 the defendant to raise a sum of money far that purpose, and he bad placed in his hands a bond and certain scrip receipts, which the defendant refused to deliver up till his bill of expences for the negociation of the loan were paid. The defendant had stated that a bill of 1631. was due. to,him, which: amount!wak tendered to him on condition that he would deliver up the documents in qtrestion. On that sum' being offered; Hendrick set up a claim ihr-com mission of 5001. Hendrick the .stock-jobber.' claimed 5301. for doing aothirw for he hack literally done nothing to procure the loan that he had promised to do. Mr. Thomas Bland sworn.-4 am attorney for Mr. De Wits, and have been. so about eight months; I know Ir. Carnptesse, who lives in Sohoaquare; I know Hendrick, the stock-johbert and I am acquainted with the fact of General De Witz having applied to Hendrick to raise money for him; the defendant was to raise money by way of loan for the 'plaintiff; the p a pers de posited in Hendrick's hands by De Witz . were scrip receipts t . with stamps, value 271., and a notarial copy of the power of attorney, an di a bond belonging to Mr. Comptesse. The ne gociation took place in N a y, ic2a ; I went to Hendrick with Comptesse to procure back the documents, and to pay him his hill; .we waited nearly three hours before we saw the defend" ant; when we did see him the plaintiff claimed his papers, but he said lie should give up nothing till his bill was paid. Comptesse proposed his acceptance, which defendant refuted, saying he would have his money. Having between 3001. and 4001. in my pocket, I took it out, and said I would pay him that or any other demand against the General. Defendant then said that he required a commission ; ?upon which De Wits said, " Commission ! you have done nothing to justify your receiving commission, and reproached hint for not carrying the loan he required to the Stock Exchange. The defendant said, as no Scrip had been paid he could not carry it to the Stock Exchange; if he did he should be liable to be expelled. Cross-examined by Sergeant WILDE—The defendant said the bond had been deposited with him for the expencee that he might incur; but he did not say that the other papers were. I have talked to General De Wits respecting the powerof at torney pending the action. I have a great deal of business with the General for causes. Hendrick never said that he could not raise the money because the boud.wss,signed in London, and not in Greece. _ Mr. Sergeant Wsr.DE addressed the Jury on thepart of the defendant ' and called George Clarke—l am clerk to defendant, who was etnplorla , by General De Witz to negociate a Greek Loan. He comPtat" various papers on the subject which the plaintiff read. 'En-: gravings were procured, advertieements inserted in the Mine papers, and brokers were em .yed.who were entitled to a com mission. I remember Mr. being at our counting.houeei and the next day I went to the p. intiff's house, and presented a copy of the account; and I said that I had the papers anti power of attorney with r, which I offered to deliver up ; but' he said he would not mdve them without Comtesse's Spanish Bond was delivered up. Mr. Hendrick was employed. from November to May in this transaction. Cross.examined by Mr. Sergeant have been nine months in Hendrick s employ ; Ido not know whether Samp son's brockerage of 12!. 10s. was paid, or Sangers 21. ; I know 61. 6*. was paid to the John Bull newspaper for mires. tisernents. Re-examined—The reason the Loan was not elFeeted, arose from the character of the Greek Deputies. A paper was posted, at the Stock Exchange, guarding the public from advancing money to General Count de NVitz, he having no authorityto negociate a loan from the Greek Government. Mr. Hendrick, had a communication with the Greek Committee on the sub• ject, who recommended him to have nothing to do with the Loan. Mr. Sampson sworn three weeks ago I had a con* versation with Me.. - about the commission, and he told me as the Loan' ailed, he should be that money ous of pocket if he paid the commission. ' Samuel Josephs proved the execution of the warrant of atter+ ney by Ex Arch, Johannicus. It was executed in King-streett Finsbury-square. Mr. serjeant PE LL in reply said, the simple fact of the care was, whether the defc ndar.t' had a right to hold the docunrenut or not. lie contended, that if the documents were of no value the defendant had not a right to retain them ; and the fact of his retaining them ;hewed that they were by the defendant con, sidered of value. The Ctuir --- jtiaTielt left it to the Jury to say whether they considered this siege' transaction recognised by the Greek Goren, went ; anti he doubted even if such recognition of it would render it a legal proceeding ; but as that question had not been raised he would not trouble the Jury with his opinion. But he asked diti Jury if they were satisfied of the fairness of this transaction.-r- He confessed that to him it appeared to have been so loosely got up, without giving_the Court en opportunity of ,judgindOi t it, that it would be di ffi cult to fix any damage beyo n d the 271.. the value of the stamps, and it was for them to say ifqiuti were due. Verdict for the defendant. 'lTArronu (WIDOW) AND OTIIX RS (ASSIGNEES) W. CLAKEIV This was an action brought by the assignees of the baukrupt, William Clarke, against his father. The evidence adduced having varied from the counts in tbe declaration, The CutEr JUSTICE directed a verdict to be given for the plaintiff; reserving liberty to the defendant to move the Cotizt on the variance. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JULY 14. BMITIE V. HOOPER This was an action brought by Lieut. Smith, ottbe 14th Light Dragoons, against the defendant, a cabinet.nraket: in Frome ' for illegally detaining a t r unk, cont a i n i ng hi s regi mentals, &c. In March last the regiment was stationed . at Frome, and desirous of getting lodgings in a private house ha agreed with the defendant for some apartments. lie had taloa a lady into his lodgings on the second night, which caused' & dispute, and the plaintiff left the apartments, at the urns time offering a week's rent, but th e d e f en d ant re fused to take low than a month's rent, and detained the trunk in question. Since the action was commenced the defendant had delivered up the goods—he therefore only sought for nominal damages, so as to carry costs. Richard llozely, the plaintiff's servant, proved that the plaintiff took the apartments In question; on the first night he dept . there alone, but on the second night took a lady home with him : on the following morning the lady went away, and Mr. Hooper and 31r. Smith had some words ; Mr. Sarith.lefi the lodgings, and ordered the witness to take away the goods, Anti to pay one week's rent. Mr. Hooper refused to take la* than a month's rent, and refused also to allow Mr. Smith Kt stay there any longer. The trunk was detained ahout seven weeks, and then sent to Mr. Smith's quarters. Cross-examined—The lady was not present when the apart. menta were taken; Mr. Smith did not say that he was going i• take a prostitute to the lodgings; the quarrel was in cense.. quenee of her being there. Mr. ATKINSON addressed the Jury for the defendant, 04 said, that they could not, as fathers, give the plaintiff a vet= diet for having been turned out of the house of a respectahl* tradesman, who, having a family of his own, naturally 'felt indignant that he had let his lodgings to a person; who took prostitute with him to disgrace his house. The Lont) CRIEr BATON said, however wrong the 'plain:. tiff had acted, still he bad offered to go back to the lodging. by himself, and the reftiaal of the defendant to receive him, cer tainly did not entitle him to retain the goods. " The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One Farthing. A gentleman, presenting a young lady, to mother, said, " Madam, this is Miss F:, and she is not. so great a fool as she looks to be." " There, Madam," said the young lady, liesithellifferenee between your son and me." A young Curate being once asked how he came to enter the Church, pertly answered, - 44 Because the Lord had!fleed of inc." " That may well be," replied a gentleman present, "'for I have often read that the Lord had once need of an ass.° COAL MARKET, ..Trwr 14: Ships at Market.
