THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the .11 orting Papers, April 6, I 825. DICtIitNING cuitosucr.E.l When the French led their armies into Spain, they carefully announced to the world, that in entering the territories of an independent nation, " their views wereanost disinterested—that they went only for the, purple of putting an end to anarchy—reconciling a people to their Monarch —and, in short, for restoring a Nation to the great European Family, from which it had been sepa rated by a few designing and mistaken men." — Since they attained their ohject, and took military possession of Spain, they have,from time to time, studiously published that it was their intention, ut astated period, to withdraw from the Peninsula, and leave its inhabitants to themselves ; thus giv ing the world to understand, that they would re deem those pledges under which they crossed the Pyrenees,and secured an easy conquest. Time has rapidly passed away ; remonstrate after remon strance has been made on the subject of their delay, and yet no signs are evinced of a readiness to put an end to the present occupation. On the con trary, it is seen that the French are fortifying Cadiz in a streuous manner ; the quesion of in demnity for the expences they have incurred has been raised, and it has been discovered that they entertain the secret design of extending their own frontiers as far as the Ebro, in conformity to an old plan now revived, into which, it is confident ly asserted, many of the leading Catalonians are prepared to enter. Spain is to be compensated by the annexation of Portugal, and the latter country is to be under a . Viceroy, in the inde pendent manner it was governed during the time it was held by the Spaniards. Such, we are as sured by a high political authority in Paris, are the secret views entertained by the French Cabinet, and for the realization of which ex tensive prepartions afe malti:lz. We - are told that in Catalonia. some men of • influ ence have already been enlisted into their cause, and flattered With time idea of belonging to a Government more enlightened and more conge nial to their habits and prejudices than that of Madrid. •Ferdinand is also represented as being favourable to the exchange, as it would give him possessimi of one of the finest ports in Europe, and besides punish the British for their inter ference in his domestic affairs on the other side of the Atlantic. The secret intrigues and machinations in furtherance of that part of the plan which is intended to operate in Portugal are, we understand, carrying on by the Portuguese Infanta Maria Theresa, widow of the Spanish Infante Don Pedro Carlos, who has for some time past taken up her resi dence in Madrid, and carries on an active corre spondence a ith the Queen, her .Mother, in Lis bon. In this scheme a number of the Portuguese Nobility are said to be joined ; and its dis covery, it is added, has given considerable uneasiness to the King, who is fatly aware that the plot is mixed up with a large portion of personal enmity towards himself. Such, we very candidly repeat, are the as surances we have received from a quarter ex tremely well-informed, and, indeed, the last letters written from the Portuguese capital pre pare us for some early and momentous event. A variety of circumstances also render it pretty clear that our. on n Government are on th e eve o f adopting some new line of policy with regard to Portugal, the commencement of which is en trusted to Sir Charles Stuart, who has been pre ceded by several auxiliaries. The precise nature of this policy time only can show ; but if in reality the French have given to our remonstrance that answer which is aatributed to them, and very speciously insinuated—that they are as much en titled to Cadiz as we are to Gibraltar—their real intentions, with regard to Spain, cannot long be kept secret. r fiItITISH PRRsS.I From La Guayra we have received a file of the Colombiano to the 19th of February. From these Papers we have extracted that important document, the Message of the Vice-President to Colombian Congress, on the opening of the Le gislative Session, on the Qd of January. General Santander, it will be seen, speaks iu firm and moderate language with respect to the stability of the new Republic, and the condition of its internal resources. The result of the war in Peru was not known at Bogota when the Mes sage was delivered, but the Colombian Govern ment state very fully their reasons for antici pating the brilliant success which was consum _mated by the victory of GuamangUilla.— The territorial limits of Colombia and Peru with relation to each other are not yet de fined ; and with admirable delicacy and ge nerosity the Message advises that the negocia- Von on this subject between the two States should be suspended until the troops of Colombia shall be withdrawn from Peru. The same objections, however, ilo not apply to the settlement of the Northern boundary of the Colombian Republic; and as an accredited Minister from the provinces of Guatemala was residing at Bogota, the line of demarkation was to be traced at the earliest mo ment. The decree of the Executive, by which the part of the Atlantic coast extending from Cape Gracios a Dios to the River Chagres, was declar-1 ed to belong to Colombia, is submitted to the con sideration of the Congress. It will be remem bered that some feeling among the British autho rities in the Nest Indies was excited .by the pre tensions set up by the Colombian Government this territory. The prudence and justice ttrey have displayed in regard to other subjects, warrant us in expecting that this question will also be ad justed on sound and honourable principles. It is next announced that a Treaty of " Peace, Friend ship, Navigation, and Commerce" has been con cluded with the United States, on a basis " so commendable as to render all eulogiuneauper fluous." The relations of Colombia with Europe are then noticed. Of courae England is .first mentioned, and a considerable portion of the Message is devoted to a statement of the proceed ings that took place witl,l the BritishCotnmissioners. ,The Colomblati Government did not forget what" was due to its own character in these transactions. Our Consuls were accredited " to the Authorities that might happen to be established" in that part of the " Provinces of Colombia" in which they were appointed to reside. Under these circum stances, the Colombian Executive would only permit the Cott,suls " to protect the commerce and interests off' English subjects in the capacity of agents for the protection of sailors and com merce." This course, to which the British Commissioners had given their ready assent, was adopted as " the line of conduct most conform able with the dignity of the Republic, and ser viceable to the interests of the British nation." General Santander fairly admits, that the posi tion of England with regard to Colombia, would not allow the British Government to have acted otherwise previously to the recognition of the inde pendence of Colombia. These difficulties,however, will soon be entirely removed by the treaty of commerce now negociating, and the relations between the countries will then be placed in every respect on the most friendly and desirable footing. It is worthy of observation, that while the Colombian Executive never for a moment neglected to assert its rights, not the slightest asperity of feeling was manifested towards Eng land. Overtures, it appears, have been made from Hayti, to conclude a Treaty of defensive alliance ; but the Colombian Government, acting with respect to the sable Republic on the same principles on which England has acted with re spect to Colombia,wisely declined the invitation. The remainder of the Message relates to the in ternal state of the country. The whole is clearly and frankly expressed. No attempt is made to disguise or palliate any evils that exist; but the general view of the progress made by the Repub lic in the consolidation of its institutions, is high ly fasourable to its future prospects of tranquil lity and prosperity. The Vice-President directs the attention of the Congress to the necessity of making " provision for the punctual payment of the interest, and gradual extinction of the princi pal, of the Public Debt." The Message con cludes with a picture of the actual condition of the new State, equally correct and gratifying. [MORNING POST.] We trust the revived Committee on the Com bination Laws will not confine itself to such ready cut and dried evidence as Mr. Hume's Bill, which has done so much fearful mischief, was last year founded on. We warned Parliament and the public at the time of the dangers which the Hon. Mem ber for Montrose's enactment was calculated to let loose on society ; we knew the oracles of the new law, and we foresaw that its operation would be as baneful in its way as the other slang Reforms of the. Westminster Radicals, if they had passed the Legislature, would have been in their ways. Mr. Hume wa:, upon that occasion, the Triton of the Minnows. He called together tailors, and stmetnakev4S, and weavers, and from their dicta he framed a Bill 'which revoked all the written and unwritten wisdom of our ancestors, and left the rights, the properties, the talents, and we may add, the lives of all the employers in the coun try at the mercy of the employed. The latter were then heard against the former; we trust the former will now be heard against the latter, and justice be done to both. We trust the system of delegation an affiliation will be effectually broken up, and political as well as other machinations be prevented for the future. [Th a TIMES.] Cararcas papers have arrived to the 10th of Feb. The President's message we have given elsewhere, and these papers contain also one or two other topics worth noticing. A few days before the departure of the packet, there had appeared off the port of Laguayra, a squadron under French colours, consisting of a 54-gun ship, two brigs, and two schooners of war. Those vessels stood in close to the shore, but did not communicate with it. After a communication between the frigate and one of the brigs, the frigate made sail to leeward. The destination of this squadron was conjectured to be Carthagena, and that its object related to the misunderstanding which took place some months back, between the French brig of war Gazelle, and the Colombian corvette Venezuela. It appears by a return of the Cus tom-house at Puerto Cabello, published in the Colombian°, of the 12th of January, that there was a surplus revenue of 6,035 dollars in the month of November preceding. The election for the Presidency of Colombia will take place in the course of the present year, within which the term of service of the illustrious Bolivar expires. increase over the, corresponding Quarter of last year of between fifty and sixty thousand pounds, The amount of the Customs for the Quarter end ing the sth of April, 1824, was 2,191,0001.; that of the Quarter which terminated yesterday, will be nearly 2,250,0001. In the returns for the Quarter ending the sth of April last year, the produce of high duties on viool, silk, salt, &c. were included, for they continued up to that time; these, however, form no part of the amount of the Return for .the present Quarter, which more than make up the deficiency. The increase would have been still greater, had not the large reduction on Foreign Wines taken place imme diately on the resolutions to that effect having passed the House of Commons, which is some weeks ago. In comparing the Customs Re venue for the year ending yesterday, with that which terminated on the sth of April, 1824, there is an apparent deficiency of about a quar ter of a million ; but if we consider it in refer ence to the million and a half of taxes repealed, then will there be proved a virtual increase in the Customs of a million and a quarter in the year, and of two millions and a quarter as compared with the year ending the sth of April, 1823; and this in one single branch of the Revenue. The amount of the Customs for the year ending the sth of April, 1823, was 9,406,6421.; that for the year 1824, 10,484,5781.; and the Customs Re venue for the year ending yesterday, will he about 10,245,0001. [MORNING II ALD.] The capital conviction of Henry Savery for forgery, at the Bristol Sessions, appears to have been one of the many distressing cases which occur in our Criminal Courts. This wretched man pleaded guilty, and the verdict was, of coarse, so recorded, without further inquiry.— His confession of the crime appeared a sur prise, especially on Lord Gifford, who pre sided as Recorder, and humanely endeavoured to induce him to take advantage of his trial upon the usual plea. The prosecutor also was deeply affected, and appeared most anxious to interpose between the wretched victim and his fate. But why this struggle of humanity and compassion against the law ? Of the prisoner's guilt no doubt could be entertained. It is that reason is shocked and feeling outraged by the disproportioned and sanguinary harshness with which the prisoner's offence is visited. This single fact, that both the prosecutor and the Judge are anxious to . wrest the vic tim from the penalty of his guilt—to interpose between a criminal whose guilt is undisputed, and the law, is an anomaly to be accounted for only by the unjust and inhuman severity of the pu nishment. It is quite obvious that the prosecutor and Judge are in a vicious position. But so many and such conclusive reasons have been given for tak ing away the punishment of death in cases of forge ry, that it is only a difficulty of choice. It is even shewn that the offence is rendered more frequent by the chances of escape, arising from the cruelty of the law, and the uncertainty of its execution. Public opinion has long demanded this mitiga tion, and it cannot be much longer withheld. The trite reasons drawn from our being a com mercial country are idle. He who is not re strained by public shame and the minor punish ment, will not be restrained by the fear of death. Perhaps there is even something in manhood which encounters the contingency of death with more recklessness. [THE PUBLIC LEDGFR.I The Message to the Colombian Congress, upon the assembling of that Body on the 2d of January, is an extra ordinary Document, and :hews that the claims of the Republic, to be ranked amongst independent States, arc fully as valid as those of some of the Powers which dispute her title to this rank. Let us compare it, in point of composition alone, with many of the State Papers, for example, which have issued from the presses of the Holy Alliance, and it will lose nothing by the comparison, . notwithstanding the very elaborate manner in which these have been drawn up. But here the resemblance ceases, for, in every other respect, the distance between the one and the others, is immeasurable. The Proclamations of the Holy Alliance are a tissue of sophistries, in order to snake the false appear the true, but executed in so slovenly a man ner that the labour is thrown away. On the Contrary, every line of the Message is a manly appeal to human reason and throughout an anxiety appears to seek the light, and not. evade it. The object of the latter, which is the happiness of the hu man race, founded on the utmost expansion of its intellectual and moral energies, accounts for this ingenuous tone, whilst the confederated Monarchs love crooked and dark ways, because their deeds will not bear a severe and close scrutiny. The first part of the Message comprises the foreign relations of the republic, and moderation, prudence, dignity, and conciliation are the characte ristics of her intercourse with other nations. Even in speaking of the Spanish Government, not a word is used but what has a ten. dency to subdue the prejudices of that Power, and pave the way for an amicable arrangement. There is as much magnanitnity as judgment in this, though it in much to be doubted whether it will make a corresponding impression, as far at least as the Court of Madrid is concerned. Harty thing, however, can conquer the ob stinacy and pride of that Court, it is the way in which the Vice- President, Santander, speaks of its pretensions. But it is in those passages which relate to Hayti, France, and Great Britain, that we discover the consummate Statesman, adroit negociator ' and, at the same time, the dignified chief of a free, successful, and rapidly rising State. Nothing conld surpass ie judgment with which the overtures of the Haytian Government to conclude a defensive alliance were evaded ; but the manner, perhaps, in which the disclosure is made. By this the good will of France is conciliated, and the Haytian Government must, at the same time, see the propriety of the refusal. The offer was a tempting one, though under its surface lay many difficultien ; and to have evaded it with so much skill, shews that the Co lombian Vice-President is no Tyro in the refinements of the diplomatic school, whilst his mind is evidently supe rior to its chicane. We shall say but little of his conduct with respect to our own Consuls, particularly as our Go vernment has removed the anomaly that provoked and justi fied this display et' dignity ; whilst the same prudence, which we had so often occasion to panegyrize, stepped in here like wise, to prevent the inconvenience that might arise from the as sumption of so lofty a tone. That part of the Message which treats of the domestic interests of the Republic exhibits the same [N End TIM Es.l sound, enlightened, and practical views, with the same candour THE QUARTER'S REV ENE; E.-The returns were `in the disclosure, as appears in the Expose of the external relations.

We stated some time ago, that Mr. Stratford Canning, having completed the special abject of his mission to the Court of St. Petersburg!), had attempted to open the question of Greek politics, and the Count Nesselrode had declined to dis. cuss a subject which (lid not form part of the business intrusted to him to negotiate with the English Envoy. We stated that Mr. S. Can ning had immediately submitted to the justice of-this objection of the Russian Minister ; and having nothing further to do in the Russian Capital, had demanded his passports. While he was making preparations for his departure, a courier from Count ',levet' arrived at St. Peters burgh, with dispatches: soon afterwards it was intimated to Mr. S. Canning that the Russian Cabinet was not unwilling to enter upon the subject of Greek politics with him, if he had re ceived any instructions to negociate before the arrival of Lord Strangford. Mr. S. Canning, it • was therefore supposed, would stay at St. Peters burgh some time longer.—(tbid.) ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE, APRIL 5. (Before the LORD CgrEr BARON and a Special Jury.) PREVENTIVE SERVICE—RIGHT OF SEARCH. THE KING 'v. PINNAW. Mr. Sergeant TADDY stated the case for the prosecution. He said that the question which he submitted to the Jury was im portant, not only to the prosecutor (the Earl of Harborough), but to the public in general. This case was that of every sub ject who had any regard for their liberty. The facts were shortly these :—On the 28th of August, 1823, the Noble Lord entered on board of a vessel at Ramsgate, with the view of reaching Dover that evening. He arrived there late at night ; and as the tide had ebbed he could not enter the harbour. He landed just below it at a place called the Knowles about half-past eleven at night. After he had debarked he walked towards York Hotel ; but on his way thither was stopped by the de fendant, who was a seaman in the Preventive Service. This person insisted on searching him; his Lordship asked what authority he possessed for exercising this power. The only answer made to this request was, that his Lordship must not proceed farther. This, however, his Lordship refused to do, as no authority had been produced. The man then drew his cut lass, and in a menacing attitude said, " By the Holy Ghost if you don't sto I'll cut you down." His Lordship remonstrated against this flagitious conduct, and declared that if the man carried his threat into execution he would be guilty of murder. This, however, had no effect upon him ; for on his Lordship's attempting to proceed to the hotel, the seaman drew forth a pistol, and threatened to blow his brains out. Lord Hara borough thought it proper for his safety to apply for the assist ance of the crew in the vessel which he had left, and two of them were accordingly called. Meanwhile the defendant fired the pistol, and as this acted as a signal to the seamen stationed at other parts of the coast, the Lieutenant came to the spot. The defendant afterwards withdrew, and his Lordship proceeded to York Hotel. The Learned Sergeant submitted that the proceeding on the part of Pinnaw was quite illegal. He had no right to search or to use violence towards an individual who peaceably landed at the beach. Even if the detention were legal, the use of the sword and pistol was an infringement on the liberty of the subject. The Navy ought not to be perverted to the purposes which were employed by the defendant against the prosecutor. Lord Harborough examined.—l landed at the Knowles. A person came up to me and said, he must search my person. He asked me where I was going; I answered, about my business. He then stood before me; I refused to be detained, unless he shewed me his authority. He said that he acted by his officer's orders. He had a pistol and a cutlass. He showed the pistol first, and presented it to me. The defendant said I should not proceed forwards ; he kept walking before me, and declared re peatedly that I should not pass him, and made use of several oaths. When he fired his pistol as a signal, I said, to him I shall go now ; he replied, by the Holy Ghost, if you attempt to move I'll cut you down. I often asked his name, but he re fused to give it. I was detained at least a quarter of an hour. Cross-examined.—l could not get into the harbour. I had a sailor's dressun that evening, and looked like a seaman. I con sidered the defendant to be a seaman of the Preventive Service. I did not tell my name to him. I had nothing in my boots that could be called contraband or illegal. Edward Williams was on board Lord Harborough's boat on the evening in question, and brought him on shore; he landed at the Knowles, because it was near the York Hotel, and it was then nearly at low water. His Lordship called him on shore, and on coming towards him, he saw the defendant standing alongside of him. His Lordship desired him to listen to what this indi vidual said. The latter said, he would search his Lordship ; but Lord 11. declared he would not permit him to do so unless he shewed some authority. Pinnaw had a drawn cutlass in his hand, and prevented his Lordship from going forward. His Lordship then asked him to fetch his offi cer; the defendant answered—" I'll be if I will not do for you." His Lordship proceeded to walk at a slow pace towards the York Hotel. The defendant came before him, and said—" By the Holy Ghost I'll cut you down ;" and flashed the cutlass over his head, as if he were about to cut him. The Custom House watch-box is at a little dis tance from the Hotel, and it was necessary to pass it, before reaching the Hotel. The defendant came before his Lord ship a second time, and said—" By the Holy Ghost I'll blow your brains out." His Lordship answered—" Well, my man, if you blow my brains out, you will certainly do murder." A Custom House officer came to the spot, who spoke to witness, and said—" Dear me, what a shame ; it is Lord Harborough, and I believe it is all very well." At this time, Pinnaw was before his Lordship. He held his pistol close to him, and firing it, said—" Now you h---- stop now." This brought other persons connected with the Preventive Service ; among whom was Lieutenant Smith. From him, Lord Harborough asked the name of the man who had insulted him? Smith replied—" Is it you, Lord Harbo rough ?—you are a damn'd troublesome fellow ;" and said, he was sorry that he had not detained his boat when it came on shore, as it wanted a none. Witness afterwards went for two constables ; but on his arrival, Pinnaw had been taken away. Lord Harborough, on that evening, was dressed in a short blue coat and trowsers. No person charged him with having any smuggled goods on his person. Cross-examined—His Lordship said to Pinnaw that he might be a. highwayman for aught he knew. He did not hear his Lordship say, " that if the defendant searched his boat, he would throw him overboard, as he had done with some or the damn'd blockade men before." J. Kent, another of the boat's crew, corroborated the testi mony of the preceding witness. . Two witnesses from Dover proved that passengers were land ed at the Knowles at low water. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Serjeant ONSLow, for the defendant, contended, that as Lord Harborough had concealed his name, rank, or business, the latter was justified in the steps which he had taken. If his Lordship had• presented himself in a questionable shape, in that questionable shape he must be treated. The defendant only did that which he conceived to be his duty; and by that standard alone he must be tried. From the dress and manner of his Lord ship it was impossible to ascertain his station or purpose. If any man chose to put on a masquerade, he ought to abide the conse quences of his indiscretion. Suppose a person put on a smock frock and threw a sack across his shoulders, and chose to parade a church-yard at night, he would undoubtedly be taken for a resurrection Man. The imprudence of the disguise would jus tify the steps taken by those who watched over these matters; and in like manner the conduct of the prosecutor sufficiently excused the measures pursued by the defendant. The Learned Serjeant called— . Lieutenant Smith, who commanded the seamen of the Pre ventive Service. He deposed that on the evening above alluded to, he was roused at midnight by the report of a pistol. On re pairing to the Knowles he found Lord Harborough. His Lord ship immediately accosted him and said, " Mr. Smith, here I am again stopped and insulted by one of your d—d rascals." Witness said, " I am sorry to see it, for the sole purpose of your Lordship is to give annoyance to me and my men. But if you are insulted, the man shall be punished." His Lordship replied, " The d--d scoundrel will not allow me to proceed to my Hotel." It was witness's duty to search every person who land ed at the beach at night. His Lordship was in a sailor's dress. —On the morning of the 24th of August witness's men had a contest with several smugglers about 3 or 400 yard* from the Knowles. Two other witnessess were examined; but the evidence elicit. ed no fact of importance. Mr. Serjeant 'FADDY replied. He contended, that as his Learned Friends could not justify the violent detention of the prisoner by any act or precedent, a verdict of guilty ought to pass against the defendant. The LORD CHIVY nARON, in summing up, said, he was not apprised of the act on which the right of searching every person, whether male or female, who came over from the Con tinent, was founded, to ascertain whether contraband goods had been concealed on their persons. He left it to the Jury to de cide whether the facts of the case justified the conduct of the defendant. I The Jury deliberated for a few minutes in the box, when one of their number addre ssed the Court :—" We are of" opinion," said he, " that Lord Harborough was not engaged in smug. ensued th e p oi n betweentot lair, a the lv, bar involved and the ti ;ling, but that he landed under such circumstances as justified the (s uspicion of his being engaged in smuggling." '‘. d in the case could be proposed t o th e C ourt o f Ki ng ' s B enc h t when his Lordship, turning to the Jury, said, " Gentlemen, I think the beat course of proceeding—that whi c h w ill d o j us tice e desultory t 4) as ry t o conversation the in then which between the parties is, that you should bring in a verdict of guilty, with liberty to them to turn it into a special verdict; and that you should declare in terms of the justification which you have already declared." Some of the Jury l•avinq expressed their doubts of this course of proceeding, they withdrew ; and after an absence of a few minutes, acceded to the verdict proposed by the Court, with a slight variation m the phraseology of it. The important point of law still remains to be decided in the Court of Xing's Bench.
