COURT OF KING'S BENCH. The Court Was opened this day by Lord TEN TERDEN pro jOrma, and further adjourned until :Monday- next the 15th of. October. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Adjourned Sittings after Term.) The Sittings for the trial of causes in the City of London commenced this morning at Guildhall, be fore Lord Chief Justice BEST. I‘IORIUSSON V. eeeeaee. Mr. Sergeant WILDE stated the case. The :ion bf the plaintiff, James Morriseon, was a deaf and dumb boy, educated in the Institution for Deaf and • Dumb Persons, arid after arriving at the proper age he was bound apprentice to the defendant to learn the trade of e cooper. The defendant received an apprentice-fee of 101. with the boy, and covenanted to support hint after th e fi rs t year orhiS apprenticeship. Not satisfied, however, with the fee which he had received front the Institution, the defendant had some private understanding with the boy's father to receive an extra fecr, and not being satisfied with the Manner in which the father acted on this under standing, after six months of the boy's apprentice ship had expired, the master thought proper to send the boy home, upon some frivolous excuse of his riot having come early enough in the morning to his I work. From that period to the present the boy ovals supported by his father, and had lately been humanely taken into the service of a shoemaker, at, • which business be h a d made considerable progress. The present action was brought to recover compen sation in damages for the loss of the boy's time, and for that support which the defendant covenanted to give him. Thomas James Watson was Sworn to interpret for such of the witnesses as were deaf and dumb. He put the various questions suggested by the Coun sel by means of signs, and they appeared to he accu rately and readily understood on every occasion. James Morrisson, an intelligent looking lad, about 16 years of age, deposed that he entered Mr. Leonard's service in August, 1822, and remained until February, 1823. Witness never worked at Mr. Leonard's subsequently to February, 1823. On • a Thursday in that month witness went to work at six o'clock in the morning, and was met by Mr. Leonard,who said you are come too late to work, you must go home. Witness was in the habit of going to work at six o'clock, and sometimes later. In reply to his master, ,when h e sa i d witness came too late to work, witness replied that " he was sorry he I v" so late ;" but the master again said," you had better go home." Witnees went home at eight o'clock, arid told his father what Mr. Leonard said, and his father wrote a letter, which witness took back to his master at 10 o'clock. (The l etter was then put in and read.--e The plaintiff merely inquired what was the rea son which induced the defendant to send home the boy, and added, that if he desired his attend ance earlier in the morning, the boy should go to work at any hour the master appointed.)—Upon irnekereeipviiy,ng this no t e , the defendant wrote a lett er with which he sent witness back to his father. From that period witness never learned all Ytbing from Mr. Leonard, nor received any sup- Port from him. Witness has been supported since by his father. Cross -examined—Witness was carried twice be- loo re the M ag i strates, c h arged by his master with lin untiler rroe e beh av i our, b ut never heard of those charges after h e l e f t M r. Leonard ' s employment. Ins M • r . C ompton, Secretary to the Committee of the ti tution for the Deaf and Dumb, stated that the defendant appeared before the Committee on the 10th F ebruary, 1823, and complained that the boy ' hid brandished an adze at him, and requested to have h e l ' haA uentures cancelled. The boy explained that ' - only flourished the adze in play, without any ire of insulting or hurting his master, and the a lt mitte e dismissed the complaint as frivolous.— Wi t ''esg was also present before the Magistrate had °ever refunded the apprentice fee, though he pro to do so. l"e CHI EF J USTICE o b serve d , t h at if t h e master i ?uld not show that he had actually taught the boy e s tra de, and supported him, he c o u ld h ave no an to this ac tio n . Mr . Sergeant ANDREWS, who appeared f or the ir% mefen. clant, concurred in the view of the case taken t Y ti t o be e Courta g n es d . addressed the jury only in miti -1.1 of dams He stated that the defendant eels a i perso n in very humble circumstances, living wholr) a cellar' and that the evidence of the -boy wits rii r r e rvo i r y thy of credit. The facts of the case, were, that the boy was a lad of vio le.nt , al , dangerous temper, though the defendant, from zi ni peculi ar c i rcumstances, was shut out from an °PPortunity of proving the circumstances as they really occurred. f; The.LOR D C HIEF JUSTICE.—Is there any o bj ec- A - : °11 t o my asking those who know this boy, as to his 9potition?

They want to Si ". nionds's Hotel, and after some time, the child bet ' am in e . very restless and fretful, continually inquiring when her mama was coming ; until, at length, it attracted the at tention of a gentleman present at - the hotel; who, seeing the child well dressed in a white frock with lace, and a beaver hat, began to suspect that the woman had not come honestly by the child, and asked her several questions, to which she gave very surly replies, and when he got u p to leave the room, followed him, and slammed the door so violently upon him as to catch his fingers. Night ap proashing, the woman went to bed, hut had not been up stairs long, when the child was heard to cry most violently, and the land lad y 's son called to th e svos n an to open the door, which she refused, and the 'child's screams continu ing, itishin there was n o doubt but the wo man was pun rsr some way, and the door was immediately burst open ,t When s he rushed with the child in her ar ms towards the Window, and threatened, that if any one approached her, she would throw it into the street. By dint of manoeuvre, however, the young Man; with the assistance of hip brother, after a tremendous struggle, succeeded in taking the child item the woman ; and, upon its being caressed by Mrs. Siminonds, stated her name to be " Flora Campbell," but could n o t tell where she bad resided.

G.—The first Ball of the Season, given by the Berkhamstead Club, took place at the King's Arms, on Thursday last, and was attended by all the Nobility and Gentry for many miles round,. with the addition of the Officers of the 69th Regiment. The Stewards were the Marquis of Salisbury and Thomas Dorrien, jun., Esq. Weippart, with his excellent full band, attended, and gave universal satisfaction. Dancing was resumed after supper, and was kept up with great spirit till a late hour. The whole went off with great eclat. On Thursday, Sir James Gordon, the resident Commissioner of the Victualling Board, visited South Down Brewery, a branch of the establishment, when a general inspection of all employed ensued, and at the conclusion of which they were informed by Sir James, that a considerable reduction in the Brewery and Cooperage war immedictely to take place. We understand that the porter at the gate, two warders, and ten labourers, were marked for super annuation ; and report says that the Master Cooper and several other officers will follow. It is further reported, that a reduction will be made throughout the Victualling Department, both here and in all the ports.—Plyntouth Herald. So dense was the fog at Shepherd's BuSh, on Saturday morning, that the drivers of some of the car riages coming into London were obliged to get down and lead their horses. On Saturday last it was discovered that a sin gularly disposed thief had visited Biggleswade on the pre ceding night, and committed robberies of a curious de scription. Mr. Niven, tea-dales, lost about 401 h. of honey from two hives, which was taken by drowning the bees ; his vine was also stripped of grapes, and a pail in his yard taken to carry them off in. A tub, belonging to Mr. Tup lin, was also selected as a proper vessel in which to convey the honey. A box of barley-meal was stolen from Mr. Albone's, but the box was afterwards found on the north road ; and a number of engraving tools and other articles were stolen from the workshop of Mr. Conquest, glazier, by taking a pane of glass out of the window. Informa tion being given to the constable, they pursued a woman suspected as the thief, and took her into custody, with the articles in her 'possession, at Buckden, whither she had gone in a stage-waggon on her way home to St. Ives.— Her name is Mary Greensmith, and she says that she se creted herself in Mr. Niven's garden about nine o'clock in the evening, and that a man, a perfect stranger to her, as sisted in the robberies. She was committed for trial. On Friday, a t noon, the remains of J o h n the Chelsea attached pensioner, to the Hospitalwereconsigned tto the H g e ra w v a e s , in Salter, burial-groundthe would in the y h e a a v r e i l 4 7 e e 2 00 ,1 o a 7 n d yearshad he f lived o a n fw o o l d C m h o was borne n ln st itution." r n i months r, g d e a r y, de signated as the " Fa age: he was the oldes t t h Collegeitutio and w lie s borne to the grave by four of his old comrades, and the sergeants followed as chief mourners. After the burial service was performed, the pensioners fired a volley of musketry over the grave. So universally was he respected, that there was scarcely a dry eye amongst nearly the whole of the pensioners belonging to the College who followed him to the grave. He had only been ill three days. Mrs. Roberts, the landlady of the snow Shoes public-house, every morn i ng sent him a glass of rum, and th e b oy on Tu "daY morning had just brought him his daily allowance when -he expired. The Commissioners also allowed him one pint o f ale daily. It h a , been eab been s t a t e d, th a t if C a ptain P a r r y h a d ' to advanc e 15 miles farther, i. e., to the 83d t i,, th ee n ; /te e twled o°f° - ornament. Thi s , h owever , is not quite !o ld have been entitled to the reward allotted correct. By the last act on this subject, passed in the year 1818, a reward is offered of 20,0001. for the discovery of a passage from th e • A tlantic t o the Pacific Oceans, along the northern shore of Mnn "Ira ; also a reward of 5,000/. to those who shall first approach within one degree of the North Pole; and proportionate rewards, at the discretion of the Commissioners for discovering the longitude, to ‘. such persons as shall first have accomplished certain pro portions of the said passage or approach, namely, the passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and the approach to the North Pole." According to the account published, Captain Parry only reached the latitude of 82 deg. 45 min., which is more than 400 miles from the Pole, and he was still very far, therefore, from fulfilling the condition which would have entitled him to the reward of 5,000/. With regard to the pro portionate reward, Captain Parry, in order to be entitled to it, must have reached a higher northern latitude than any former navigator, and the simple question here is, how has any former voyager proceeded northward ; what is the extreme point of human adventure in these polar seas? Few, certainly, have reached so high a latitude as 82. 45. In 1606, Hudson advanced only as far as 82 degrees. The Dutch navigators were never beyond north latitude 80.11. ; and Captain Phipps, afterwards Lord Mulgrave, was in 1773, stopped by ice in latitude SO. 48. Some of the whalers have, however, gone beyond this. In 1 816, the Neptune whaler, of Ab erdeen, was as f ar as 83. 20 . , and if the present Act had been in force, might have claimed a share of the 6,0001. for accomplishing a proportion of the desired approach. T he Act of Parliament d oes no t assign a reward for reaching any particular latitude short of one degree from the Pole ; it is only to those who have advanced farthest into these unknown seas, that a share of the 5,0001. is offered ; and unless the 83d degree be con sidered as the extreme limit of navigation in the Northern Ocean, up reward would attach to the roaclaiug of this Pint. NEW CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. (From tLe Dublin Evening Post, Oct. 6.) . Mr. BRETT, in the Chair, After a few routine matters had been disposed of, Mr. SBIEL addressed the Association. He- com menced a very eloquent and impressive speech by reverting to the terrible murder committed in Tip perary a few days ago. He drew a masterly and ap palling picture of the state of recklessness and de pravity to which the peasantry were reduced. H e then gave an animated view of the system of mis government which bad generated these vices, and contended that the Protestants of Ireland were, if possible, more interested in restoring the country, if possibl,, to peace and order than the Cat This could not be accomplished, he demonstrated by a train of argument, at once forcible and conclu sive, without putting ail his Majesty's subjects upon a perfect equality, as to their civil and political rights. Th e speech was received throughout with con tinued cheering. Mr. C O'Dwvaa gave notice of a motion touch ing the communications received from the Right Rev. Doctor Logan, Catholic Bishop of Meath, con cerning the Irish Society's Schools. After disposing of a few matters of form, the As -,;ociation adjourned. DUBLIN, OCT. 7. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) An event of rather an extraordinary nature has taken place in .this city withit: the last week—a Sheriff's dinner attended only by thirty members of the Corporation ! suppose you are aware, that the great majority of the mem hers of our respectable Corporation are persons to whom a sumptuous dinner is an event of sufficiently rare occur rence to attract a poor gourmand, if it were only for its novelty. Why it had not the expected effect upon a late occasion, 1 am, unable to divine. • The only cause assign able is, that the gentleman -who is now one of our High Sheriffs has been two or three times unsuccessful, and they take the liberty of translating his motto, " Je us change qu'en mourant," into " 1 won't give change till I die." Although this may be the pretext, I am certain it cannot be the real cause, for there are few of our corporators who are not nearly in the same predicament; for instance, the leading orator in the " Commons" has been smashed fre. quentiv, and one of the most distinguished Foremen of our City Grand Jury has been. Gazetted no less than three times. Then why our High Sheriff should be despised, I really cannot tell, Perhaps the neglect that is now exhi bited towards him is manifested because he accepted the office when no one else could be found to take it, for so low, so very low, has our Corporation here fallen, that the office of High Sheriff was actually for weeks going a begging, and no one, not even the oratorical tailor, Davy IPCluny, would deign to receive it. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TA TTERSALL'S.-Our. 8. As this was the settling day for the Newmarket Races, ;r very numerous muster assembled. Very little, however, was done with regard to next years' Stakes. Colonel and Druid are the two first for the Derby. Hardly any were mentioned for the Oaks. The settling bore a cheerful character, and with the exception of one dispute, every thing went off smoothly. To settle that one dispute, how ever, a court was formed of two directors, and during the decision an air of awful majestic dignity reigned through out. The suitors set forth their respective claims, and at one time the wordy war waged thick and heavy, the old fashioned mode of listening to each other being entirely dis pensed with ; at length " the court" restored order, and another obstacle to public justice arose in a witness who refused to be examined without that most important docu ment of the Turf, his betting hook, and the court adjourned to allow the aforesaid witness to provide himself therewith. In one case 10 to 6 was betted on Curtis against Tisdale, who fight to-morrow. CHESTERFIELD RACES.—FRIDAY, Ocr. 5. Sweepstakes of sgs. each, for all ages. Two miles. (10 Subs.)

A THEATRES. DRURY-LANE, The fourth appearance of Mr. Kean, jun. in the charActer of Douglas, took place last night at this theatre; but deserves uo mention, further than it exhibited a little—and but a little improvement.— We u nderstand, that he is shortly to make his ea ap- ' p ran ee in Romeo : this is well suited t o hi s age , and will give him a fair opportunity of redeeming hi mse lf. Should he fail, his case, we fear, will be irremediable. • • COVENT-GARDEN. M. Young's hamlet—his most impressive and c onsistent character, unless, perhaps, we except Brutus, droV a full house last night, who witnessed it s performance throughout with unqualified satis faction. The maudlin melancholy of this character Mr. Young gave with suitable discrimination, nor did he fail to give effect to those few passages, w h ere the nobler energies of the man burst forth. He hes, however, been so often the subject of cri ticism in this particular character, that it will be suf ficient to state, that he sustained it with all his wonted excellence. DELPHI. Mrs. Yates made her first appearance here last night, in a new Burlet ta, translated from the French, and entitled " Love and Reason." She was warmly received from the first to the last of her performance, notwithstanding'that her part offered few or no op portunities of display. Messrs. Terry and Yates represented a father and son, and it was to their excellence in these respective characters, that the sue.. cess of the I3urletta was mainly owing; for in itself it was but indifferent. SURREY. Master Burke appeared here last night as Young Norval, and went through the part with astonishing spirit and adherence to nature. His ,voice too—a singular circumstance in one so young, for he can scarcely be ten years old, was managed with as much judgment . as the most experienced performer could have exhibited. His petit figure, however, told somewhat ridiculously against him, more particularly when he had to threaten annihilation to some gigan tic Dane. in every other respect his acting was en thusiastically received by the audience, with whom he is evidently a favourite. Mr. N. Kemble was the Glenalvon of the evening, and a sad noisy one he was ; the remaining characters were respectably supported. THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT. DRURY-LANE Kenney has a new comedy, in five acts, in which Liston is to act a character, which Green-room re port speaks of as likely to rival Paul Pry. This comedy will he produced without delay. A new play, written by that experienced veteran Reynolds in his youthful days, has been accepted by Price ; it is of the heroic kind, and will involve a grand spectacle. Macready is to act the principal character. Poole has, we understand, two dramas, one of them entirely new, and the other that which was intended for the Haymarket, but which was superseded by Kenney's Spring and Autumn ; or, the Bride at Fifty. Two new Operas are likewise in active preparation. The music of the first has been sent down to Miss Paton, at Brighton, who is delighted with the character and songs allotted to her. Braham will perform in this opera, and Barley, and Miss Love. A Morning Paper says—Young Kean, by his performance of Douglas, has already put nearly 1,4001. into the pocket of the manager. His next character will be Romeo, in which a more extended scope will be given for the exposition of his youthful talent. A young lady is to perform Juliet, who hes 'already been favourably re ceived in that character. The lessee of Drury •lane Theatre, in conse -quence of the wishes of the . proprietors of the Theatre in Paris, has extended the furlough of Miss Smith son—a decided favourite with the Ltrisians—Miss S!vith son heilig engaged at Drury-lane. Barrymor e is preparing a Pantomime for Christmas, which, in point of scenery, machinery, and de coration, is intended to rival all t!iiit has hitherto been done for 14 .4 „! gratification of the hclyday folks. COVENT-GARDEN Charles Kemble is not a whit behind-hand with his powerful neighbour. Several of Shakspeare's most popular tragedies are to be acted, in which Kean, Young, and Kemble, are to perform. This triumvirate is unequalled in the present state of the stage, and their united talents will tend to revive the Tragic Muse, which has con tinued to droop ever since the retirement of Mrs. Siddous and John Kemble. Madame Vestris, Miss Kelly, Miss Chester, Mrs. Glover, Mrs. Chatterley, Mrs. Gibbs, and Mrs. Davenport, 'all engaged at Covent-garden, constitute a phalanx of talent for the performance of legitimate comedy, which even the spirited lessee at the other theatre cannot equal, although, in the musical and operatic department, Priee leaves Kemble at an immeasurable distance. Morton has a comedy at this theatre. A new tragedy has , likewise been accepted, together with a new Opera. Farley has been employed during the summer upon a new pantomime for Christnia3 ; and a melo-drama, which the manager expects will be a palpable hit. Mrs. Waylett's Benefit takes place at the Ilaymarket to-night ; and from the merit of the Bill of Fare, as well as from the well-known fascinations of the leading performer herself, we have every reason to antici pate a full house. We understand that the young lady, Miss Grant, who made so successful a debut at the Theatre Royal Drury-laiie,. on Friday evening last, was formerly a pupil of the Royal Academy of Music, and under the sole direc tion of SignOr Crevelli. Kean has been acting with success both in Glasgow and Liverpool; from the latter place he comes to Covent-garden, whence, when he has acted a certain number of nights, he will go to Paris, to perform in the English Theatre ; hut his success there is extremely doubtful, a ft er the brilliant reception of Charles Kemble, whose style of acting, so congenial to the taste of the French critics and artists, is directly opposed to that of Kean. Ebers, , under the auspices of Lord Fife, i s endeavouring to concoct a French Theatre in London upon an extended fteale. Madame Caradori Allan has left London for the Continent; she will not return for one year at least. Miss Stephens, it appears, is Hot yet engaged by either of the winter managers; Charles Ketnble is said to he in treaty with her for Covent-garden. Mr. Horn, Mr. Pearman, and Mr. and Mrs. Slornsn, and Miss Cubitt, are gone to America, where Mr. Kaan is likely to follow them at the end of the present season.

Mathews will not he " At Home" at the Lyceum (luring the ensil ing Lent ; he has been warmly solicited to return to Ame rica Cr another season, and it is probable he will go when his engagement has terminated at Drury-lane. The elder Chapman, late of Covent-garden, is gone to Paris, accompanied by a young pupil, who has been regularly educated for the stage, and who is to make his first app ea rance there, in tragedy. Young will like wise act in Paris, and Charles Kemble will return thither on the first opportunity to perform a limited number of nights. Overtures, highly advantageous, have likewise been made to the veteran Munden, to act a few nights in Paris ; Munden, who is in excellent health, has not re. turned an answer. Ber.ides our own regular dramatic company, now generally admitted to be the first out of London, Miss Paton, Mr. Braharn, Mr. igapio, Mr. Sinclair, and other eminent performers, are expected to visit the Scottish gapital during the approaching season, in addition to Miss Stephens, who is to appear on Tuesday next. Miss Noel, we understand, is engaged on a professional tour before re turning to ftilfil her engagements here, in the course of which she will visit Dumfries, Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen, laveraesa, &c. v .-dinburgh Observer.Z Carmarthen Regatta took place on Wednes day and Thursday last, and the prizes were well contested for on both sides. The Tenby boat won the principal on Wednesday; and the wherry belonging to John Jones, Esq., M.P., lowed by four gentlemen amateurs, won on Thursday. The contests between the boats belonging to merchantmen and the coracles were well contested, and afforded much amusement to thousands who were present. —Cambrian.

Sept. 20, 1827. EXOMIENSIS. The great elm tree under which the renowned William Penn made his treaty with the Indians at Shack amaxon, in the year 1682, became celebrated from that time. When in the American war the British General Simeoe was quartered at Kensington, he so respected it, that upon his soldiers cutting every other tree for firewood, he placed a sentinel under this memorable tree, that not a branch of it might be touched. In 1812 it was blown down, and its trunk was then split into wood, and cups, And other articles, were made from it to be kept as me morial*. FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have unfeigned satisfaction in stating, on the authority of an express from Constantinople, received since our publication of yesterday, that the Turkish question, so far as Greece is con cerned, may be considered in all probability as by this time set at rest. It appears that the Porte had, according to custom, temporised to the last hour, taking the chance of the cards for what 'flied happen, until juggling and duplicity would serve no further purpose. So late As the 10th of September, the Allied Asnbassadors gave notice to their fellow-subjects, English, Frencft, and Russian, that it naight no longer be safe for them to remain in the Turkish capital, the Mi nisters themselves being about to depart, and all protection to person and property disappearing with them. The facts appear to be carefully collected, such well authenticated in our city ar tick, and we acquiesce in the surmise that intel ligence from the Porte to the Paeha of Egypt, re turned s t o through n a lsajo C flrolnr Alexandriarado ek, wh on o t he 4th ith . , may have assisted in accelerating the dispo sition to negotiate, which had been produced by the decisire declarations of the Allied Ministers, and by the undisguised prospect of coercive measures being resorted to on the part of the European squadrons. It wi3l be observed, that by all the accounts received, the Porte is said to have insinuated an apprehension of other ques tions, besides that relative to Greece, being kept in petto by the Allied Powers, and 'likely to be pressed upon it in the sequel, if once it shouldbegin to fie d yed. i'h , i t l hatasa er l orte object in iogfbit,oivrebel joint ne6.6 ie o v e ebsly ia , ti e o e n a ,t i ber s e atis- re mained no ulterior point whatever to be ad justed, beyond the stipulations of the Greek treaty. Nor could it be Mani& to make the Turkish Government understand, that in respect of any scheme for sensibly enfeebling, much more dismembering, the empire of the Sultan, such a project would meet from two at least of ' the Powers which signed the treaty in favour of Greece, a resistance as determined and effectual as it would be possible to anticipate from a com bination of the most perfect identity of interest, with an unconquerable array of maritime and military force, animated by the universal consent of the two most spirited and enlightened nations in Europe. Turkey must, indeed, have been convinced ere now, by Mr. Stratford Canning and the French. Ambassador, that if any other Government, however formidable, should menace her with injuries amounting to dismemberment, she would find in the ready protection of France and England a complete assurance and guaran tee against their execution. That the clouds which so long impended over this Greek discus sion have now apparently been dispelled, or at least that the last wind from Constantinople blew in a direction the best calculated to encourage such a prospect, affords a double ground for ree joicing, inasmuch as the politics of another quar ter of the European Continent are such as call for the deep and undivided watchfulness of the Go vernment and people of Great Britain. The con dition of every part of the Peninsula, from the Eastern Pyrenees to the rock of Lisbon, becomes hourly more discouraging. The quarrel betweeti the Apostolical rebels of Catalonia and Ferdi nand, is no other, incredible as it may seem, than that he, Ferdinand, is not absolute enough, vindictive enough, atrocious enough, to please them,—that Ferdinand VII. is too enlightened to rule over Spain ! His journey to Catalonia if it be only to Catalonia and no further—seems as doubtful in its causes as (whatever those causes may be) it appears precarious in its re sults. When we wonder at the quiescence of the French troops, while hordes of rebel barba rians against the ally and relative of Charles X., are not only setting the sovereignty of Ferdinand at defiance, but insulting the fortreasee of which these very troops hold possession, the Moniteur, with great composure, informs us, that the French army does not interfere in the present case, although it did notoriously interfere against a slight insurrectionary movement on the other, namely, the Constitutional side of the question, at Tarifa, because that of Tarifa was in the nature of au invasion, and that near the gates of Bar celona is an internal rebellion. This is rather bold of the Moniteur: it might seem unpolished to apply the stronger term of audacious to such an argument. Why, what was the first motive of the French invasion ? Was it not to put down a system of internal polities ? If not to meddle in the domestic affairs of Spain, what took the Duke of Angouleme thither ? Was the country then invaded ? The sole pretext on which the French army entered the kingdom was one under which they were morally bound to take the field for the suppression of any rebel lion against Ferdinand : rebellion, it is true, there was none when they did enter, but to suit a wicked purpose it was so described ; and now they tell us that their object is to repel invasion—not to put down insurrec tion ! Shall we whisper, to them what the world malicious g h t wo againstr d says,free that at the Constitution,ench established, and will not fight against a in n g t la h nd the fair alreadyy o s v : r n The me nt fou eTddhiee Spain, r asks an,d t t E s n , if it b e woraiyesttolybaendestaabbsloislhuetde:pboeweearusreebtehln in the same e Govern ment is the enemy of freedom every where, and every where (but in Greece , where it is quite a b o o t n o m n or g c , h i e h ) e the sal e associate pri nc principles" e a s n , partisanthat France of re fuses Portugal, ar bitrary o rtugal, with the parti es engaged in civil war .. to in power. ter No, we answer—manifestly no. 'England came to defend Portugal from • • invasion, and is there tore bound by her own hour and consistency to abstain from meddling where no invasion exists. But the Court of F rance,--which marched avowedly first to make a civil war, and then to take a part hi it,—on what plea of c onsistency or honour can the French Court pretend to say that it will only act against i n vasion,. but avid look on while a c i v il war is raging? I t is too plain,—the system betrays its osyn dishonest principles. If an armament of an hundred thou sand serviles were to disembark under the guns of Barcelona, or of Cadiz, not a French bullet , vould molest them. If but 500 Constitutional Spaniards were to show themselves in arms 300 miles from the coast, horse, foot, and dra goon, from the Commander-in-Chief to the trumpeter, would be after them by forced marches. It is the object of the enterprise, not its locality, which operates on the nerves of the Bourbon Government. The Moniteur con iesses that it dreaded in 1823 the contagion of Spanish liberty. But the French oec it occupatio n , seems, at last, is to be prolonged as a balance to the occupation of Portugal by England. It is, we say, now publicly acknowledged that British Government has furnished France with mot i ve for prolonging lies seizure Of the Spanish garrisons, by occu pig Portugal with British troops !" W e are glad to have the con fession which we lon g h are sought for. But is it an honourable avowal, or justified but on a
