To error they. are liable, but not to the criminal intent; .and their errors, when .honest, will be met with indulg ence ; whereas; the slightest taint of criminality would deprive thern. of the support we have . mentioned, and withdut which, they Cotild not. retain their situations for a single weeli. If they were to forfeit that suiwort, all the fa vOut of the Court Worild - not avail them ; and it may he said, that the character of their administration is formed in a great degree by the sound opinions emanating from the temperate reflecting porti'an of the bOrnoittnity... This is, the cause that their policy islotiiied upon solid prin cipks;: arid' - that resists the temptations of a tramient popularity, in 'order 'to obtain - useful, though slow results. It . shews more Wisdom to be rather too cautious in the Management of ,the. various and' complex interests of a large Empire, tlian'to be too adVenturons. There-is a tendency in the great machinery of States to disentangle itself, when it gets perplexed, which is impeded, instead of being promoted .h y v sudden and iolent iuterference. The present Ministry appen *to. recognize this principle, and this is, no doubt, the reason *that they are so circumspect in grap pling with- acknowledged evils, when they - ate of long standing, and of an inveterate character. To this prudence they are indebted for the support. they receive from the sober and enlightened' part of the Public ; and their measures, in every circumstance,' also have 'this recommendation, that they are, regulated by the necessity of the case, and by the reason of the country. Hence arise .that confidence ana'Sense of secnrity visi- - ble in tiro countr;iitiltvithstandiug the daring at tempts of—the disaffected to .excite alarm' and: distrust; .Lt is astonishing how very- little.pro perty of every- kind'has been affected by their bold, and unprincipled machinations. It is equally curl-. ous to-remark, how slightly the operations of trade have suffered in consequence. An Unfa-: vourable iMpresSion has been unquestionably produced ; and,' it is'probable, that were it not for the mischievous design's of the factious- and disaffected, the beneficial effects of the- national industry, 'Wealth, and enterprise; would be much more visible than they are. However, it is plain that,: in 'any other country, or under any other Government, the existence Of such a faction would spread universal anxiety, and cause a vast de pression of every .species of property, which is dependant for its .security on the preservation of public tranquillity: , But here the consequences are scarcely perceptible, or only to be discover- . ed by a very keen eye ; and we have, no .hesita tion-in ascribing 'this singular phenomenon to the Confidence which henest men have in the ,prudent and upright character of the . present soon'therefore as, the Government ap peared to•he in danger, all persons of moral worth rallied round it _instantly. ...Ministers may now met Parliament with confidence, and. fearlessly propose Such legislative. measures .as the crisis . may require.

Indeed there'could be 'no useful purpose 'obtain ed by the personal attendance of the King at the Congress at Laybach; because were the ling to be. wrought upon •by the arguments or the per sonal influence of the Allies to admit the pro priety of some alterations in the constitution of Spain, .forlhe - purpose of granting more power to'the Throne—alterations whitir, for our own parts, we should think_ very advisa!ge—yetwith what'etrett would his 'assent be attended ? The Cortes would reject tire alteratiOns with contempt, and so the condescension of the King in leaving his own dominions' to - meet other Monarchs, .and to receive , their- instructions upon the domestic afrairs of his own kingdom,"would be . follOwed by no other imaginable tonseqUence' than' to expose his Majesty to the pity or derisionolthe world ; .and,-still-worso,,to the contempt or displeasUre .of his own subjects.—(/bid.) [New ,Tinzes:l. It is stated in the Journal which offiiiallynoti es,the acts and proceedingi of Brandemburgh House, that.the Queen _has purchased a xesidelare ;n Pall-Mall, near the Palace of her Royal Con- sort. We should hope that this was -erroneous, or at least that her Majesty had no intention of esOblishing herself in such a situation. Certain ly, in private life, a wife separated from her hus band would beiregarded as destitute .of hil deli cacy, who sho-ald 'thus tix herself in his imme diate vicinity ; but where the husband is also a Sovereign,- -and -where die wife is the tool or idol of a mob, language is too weak to express the scorn and. detestation with which such con duct must he vie Wed by every loyal.

The Cortes were to meet on the 9th inst., if Ferdinand attend the Congress of the Sovereigns at Laybach. Should he be disposed to proceed thither, the Spanish Cortes will resume their sittings on the 9th inst..for the discussion of a question which must excite intense interest throughout - the country. The'departure of the King will no doubt be opposed. What ever may be the result of the deliberation, the Constitution of Spain cannot but be regarded by the Allies as having been forced upon the Sovereign, like that of Naples-, by a Revolution elrecied through the soldiery.

Letters from Pernambuco, &Jed 30th No vember, were received yesterday, which 'State, that on the morning of the 26th a general alarm was diffused among the inhabitants, on dis covering that all the'avenues of the town were held in military occupation ; and that this step was follo4ed by the arrest of several iudiOduals on. an -alleged charge of conspiracy against the existing government. The persons arrested were of mean condition, and wholly incapable of plan nina or of executing such a design. It produced much embarrassment however at Pernambuco, by exciting distrust among the country people proceeding thither with produce for sale,' who invarialaly turned back ou hearing of the affair. Though involved in much mystery and obscu rity the letters treat it as an event of no im portance..-_-(lbid.) [The Public Ledger.] Some Cadi4 Papers have arrived. The intel ligence which 'the.y supply from Madrid has been anticipated by the French Journals. They con lain some Extracts from The Barcelona Gazettes, which condemn, in severe terms, the apathy ma nifested by the Government with regard to the excesses committed on the frontier and in the in terior of Spain by smugglers and - banditti of every description ; and which also 'reprobate the con duct. of the Anied , Sovereigns with regard to Na ples. On the subject of their hostility to the Spanish Constitution, • one of these' Journalists .makes* the following 'reflections :—" The. Sove reigns who now think this, are; the same who, a few years ago, solemnly recognized this Consti tution, which then . aroused them from the lethar gy—from the humiliation- 7 -in which they were plunged—which Was the basis to preserve their Thrones, to support their vacillating. sceptres, tO., recover their dignity, their honour, and their rank. We are far from comparing Lay.: bach with'...Bayonne ; Ferdinand IV. with Fer dinand VII: ;' or the . Emperor Francis with Buonaparte. if any acts of injustice, 'like those committed by the Usurper of the .Thione of the Bourbons should be seen in' our hands, we shall not impute it to the Sovereigns, but to their evil Counsellors.

And what may be the, result 8f thi new Congress ?

This was an action of trover, to recover a con siderable quantity of wine and spirits sold by the bankrupt to the defendant, under the following circumstances :---- The bankrupt was the proprietor of a liquor shop and wine -vaults, situated in Piccadilly; and he had-dealings with a person of the - name of Probent, with whom he had been upon'terms of the closest - .intimacy,' and bill .transactions . had Occurred between them. In the year 18t7 the bankrupt became bail forihedefendant 'Holding; Who subsequently•called upon!him to. thank him for this act of kindness, and shortly after he met Probent, and -having:spoketr to him concerning the then embarassed situation of the bankrUpt's affairs, .siggested the • propriety of 'his - taking theiwnefit of the Insolvent Act, In'subsequent i n t erv i#,vs ,between—Probent . and . iloltlin4 - ,' lie . agreed to enter into their plans, and on hh own credit he . purc'hased a large quantity Of wine and Spirits,-which he sent to the house of the . defeil 7 ant,, who, from ..a earn-factor, becathe . a ,spirit, merthant, in'' Devonshire-Street;' Queen- square;H and entered. into an agreement with . the bankrupt, that he (Holding) would return the stock: , or the Proceeds thereof, subs eque ntly t o th e bankrupt's relielfrom his difficulties, The whole amount:of the property thus . , delivered .amounted to about three thousand pounds, which Was invoiced :to the defendant SO per cent. below. the prime cost. The defendant also drew upon the bankrupt bills of eichange amounting to-20001. which the bank rupt accepted. Being dishonoured he was ar rested by the defendant, who took a - warrant of attorney for the amount, upon which in a short time after when .the bankrupt was pressed by ills bona fide creditors, he entered up judgment, and thereby swallowed up the. whole of his goods - . The 'defendant had induced the' bankrupt to be lieve that he and Probent would .concert a coM mission and relieve him from his difficulties by be ,usual machinery of a fraudulent commission. Tie however suffered him. to remaininp . rison, and the result was, that.a real creditor sued out a commission against him, and fiuding that Hold ing and Probeht had deceived• hirn,, he stated the true case to the creditors, •vith• whom-the pre sent action • originated ; for the purpose of re covering the goods for. the advantage of tote real creditors. The . case was proted by the bankrupt, hfc=wifo, and two persons named Smyth and Gibbons. Mr: MA RrATT, for the defendant, urged, that in point of law the.plaintiffs had no title to sue, since the original transaction -was founded in fraud, and consequently the property •did not legally rest in the assignees. The Ctuxr JUSTICE over- - mica the objectiOn, observing, that as the • boi u t fide creditors had treated it as a regular bargain and sale, whatever title the bankrupt ha - d would necessarily vest in his assignees. • The defence then resorted to, was, that the original, transaction between- the bankrupt and the defendant was a fair sale for, value paid •to the bankrupt in, the prcsence of witnekses; who were also indebted to the defendant in the sum of 2000/. - Bills and receipts . Were given in to support this case, which, however, the bank rupt in his original examination bad sworn were • fabricate-d. The defendant then called his brother, who swore that he saw 18001. paid to the bankrupt on account of the wines and spirits, though the bankrupt stated that he had merely received a few pounds si►►ce he was imprisoned. Another witness swore, that he saw the de fendant pay the bankrupt a sum of 3151.; but he could not state on what account. The carters who delivered the wine,'Stc. to the defendant, proved that they delivered to the bank rupt sealed papers, the contents - of which they could not describe. Mr. GURNEY. replied at considerable length. The Jury, under the Learned Jndge's direc tions, forthwith found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages 20441. INSOLVENT DEBToRs' COURT, JAN, 15. HansE . -CnAuNriNo.---John Howe, a dealer in horses, was opposed by Mr. Pollock, Mr. An- - drews,„Mr.. Tattered, and Mr. Manning, on be half of General Mackay, Mr. Wright, Mr. Chap man,. and several other Gentlemen, on the ground. of gross frauds practised towards them in selling unsound horses, with warranty as sound and free from vice: From the. ecidence of these Gentle-. men, it appeared, that they - had been severally induced by flaming advertisements in. the public papers of horses to be sold, " the property" as the advertisements for, the most part stated, " of a Gentleman going. abroad," or of " a Gentleman giving up keeping horses," to pur chase. horses from the . prisoner; with an engage- . meat, that if the :horses .did not pleaSe the: purchasers the money should be returned. The horses uniformly proved to be unsound, and were returned within a day or two ; but the prisoner, after promising on the retdrn of the horses to.de posit the money on the fOllowing day in :some banking-house, took care to keep out of the way, and the parties received neither horse nor money. The prisoner very freely admitted 'all these facts, but added, that he had no interestin the trans actions, further than a - compensation for his trouble in the sale of welt ,horse of livelier cent.; that all , the 'horses belonged . , to .another person, a notorious horse chaunter in the. west end of the town, and:Ahat this person alvtiays re ceived the purchase Money. ,Be also . stated, that it was poverty that drove him' to the commission of such acts.. He had, he said, some years' ago owed upwards of 2,0001. to, different persons in England, and, among others, a large sum to Wilson,eue of the Members for the City, and to Mr. Kaye, the" Solicitor for the Bank. That he left England - and went to Canada; where, by in dustry and care, he collected the sum of '2,9001. with which he returned to England ; that on his arrival he advertised for'all his creditors to come in for payment of their debts, and that lie had paid then] 4 205. to the pound, with interest, for the years of his absence.. This act of justice and of extraordinary honesty. reduced his funds Very low, and he was obliged to, embark what remained to him in business as a' horse-dealer. His partners debts, here fell upon him, and he was Compelled again to.go to Cana"a. Entering the Iti ver Saint Lawrence, he suffered shipwreck, and- lost.all hi§ property. He with difficulty re turned -to England, having obtained a passage from the charity of a Jnerchaut in,Quebec,, and' on his arrival in London without a shilling,:was compelled to . resort to. the first means that offer ed of obtaining a shilling for his immediate sup per:L. It was his misfortune to meet with. the in-' dividual alluded to, and he could; not resist the temptation. . . . : The COURT viewing all the . circumstances of the case, considered , it .so pregnant with fraud, that they felt themselves boand to mark their sense of.it, .by enforcing the severity of the Act of Parliament to its utmost limit. They lainented that the terms of the .Act did not enable them to deprive him of the advantages he might derive from . .enjoyin , :the benefit of the. ,rult:s of the King's Bench, and to shut'hirn up within the walls of the 'prison ; but such power as the Le gislature allowed them they :should. exercise. They therefore. declared that John Howe should not be entitled to the benefit:a the Act, nor he discharged from custody until he shall, have been in prison at the suit of his opposing creditors , for the space of two years from the date of filing his petition.—( British Press.)

POLICE -INTELLIGENCE; • H- - CURIOUS CASE OF AN ..AFRICAN SLAVE BEFORE Ayoß. MA stOs-iiltitisE.---A Black, named Evans, a native of Jamaica, was'brOtight up under circum stances similar - to thost which gate rise to the celebrated question decided through the inter vention of Granville Sharp in-the Court of King's Bench, " Whether a shive;Upon setting foot upon the shores of Great Britain, was net front that moment free."' The Captain of a JamdiCatrian had, it appeared from the statement Of, : one of the Marshalnien, cudeayoUred to compel Evans to sail with him to Jamaica, but the Black re fused to leave England. The Captain declared that the Black was his apprentice ; and that he was regularly "manumitted before the deed of apprenticeship was drawn up. This the - Black denied ; and Said he should be again treated as a slave if he went back with the Captain to Ja maica... The Captain hoped the Black would he kept in custody until the thing should be cleared up. The LORD MAyna said, he should take care of the Black, and write to his former master ; after which, if the deed.of manumission was produced,' Ev a ns must.of course attend his? master. The Black Was sent - to the Compter; and the Lord Mayor soon after received a letter from the former master, stating that he (Evans,) had lived with him as hiS ;lave for three year 4 in Jamaica, and that the complainant had purchas: ed him to bring to this Country. The writer never heard that a deed of manumission had been executed. Yesterday the Black was again brought up. The Lord Mayor ascertained that the Cap= Lain bad sailed, but that endeavours had been used to prevail upon the, Black- to' sail with him. The - Black most resolutely refused, and said.? that as long as be was able to attend upon a far.2.:- ly as a servant, he never would back as a slave. The Lord Ma vor appr4ted ofthe Black's determination to avoid the condition to which be might_ probably be reclueed if he had consented to go to Jamaica, and stated, that as, hi, charac ter was unimpeachable, he could easily procure him a situation in this country. lfe was then returned to the Compter, where he is to remaiu a few days, when Mr.AS T illiarns., the Sheriff, Will exert himself for the poor fellow's ad vantage.
