THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRICTS FROM '1111: 11011INING PAPERS, January 20, IS2'2. .[NEW TIMES.] Aprivate letter was . received yesterdaY from Constantinople, dated the 27th of:December, being two days after the departure of the regular Mail, which is expected to arrive on Thursday. A:t - the aboVe date the Ottoman capital enjoyed .piirfect tranquillity, and from the strong convic tion, which prevailed that the Grand Seignior had ri e d his acquiescenee in the Russian Ultimatum, a favourable effect had been 'produced upon the trade of the place, and considerable orders had bi!ep.forwarded to this country. The latest ac counts received at Constantinople from 'Smyrna were 'of a satisfactory .nature; no new - excesses had been committed, and the place continued quiet. _ _ _ hoever has travelled on the Continent must often have met with individuals that entertain the.most ridiculous ideas of our OppoSition, and 'actually believe that " all the talents" of the country are monopolized (in conjunction with Lords:Grey, Lansdown, &c.) by our .celebrated 'Waithman, Wood, Hume, and -.Hunt, against whom they think it wonderful that such weak and corrupt Administrations as those which overthrew Buonaparte and liberated. Europe car? have so long stood their ground.—Just so have many worthy and . even loyal persons in this country persuaded themselves that the French Opposition, headed by Benjamin Constant, the Swiss, Sebastiani, the Corsican, a►id Chauvelin, the Ambassador of the Regicides, really carry with them all the respectability of France, and command a majority of the Chamber of Deputies. how much surprised will these honest English politicians be to read the humble confession of IV ;Liberals in the Private Correspondence of The T.inzes of yesterday, coupled with the facts, hiL4t.even-that Journal cannot dissemble, of the late divisions on the Law of the PreSs !—(Mid.) [MORNING HERALD.] The French Papers continue to be exclusively filled - with the debate in the Chamber of De -On the Freedom of the Press. A new cldise, :professing to be for the protection of re ligibn,: excited a considerable sensation. This artielels, if we may trust the Liberals, one of the. Master-strokes of the new system in France. point of fact, religion was already expressly, but. generally (without specification of any par ticular form of Christian worsjlip) protected by' thelaiv. The new article expressly renders in .violaiile the religion of the State, or Catholic re ligion. M. Benjamin Constant, who is a Protestant, opposed the article, on the ground that its object vaz to restrain the Protestants in France from ar guing,ln their own defence, against those Catholic dogmas which they consider errors ; whilst the Catholics, on the other hand, treated the tenets of the Protestants as so many criminal and wilful errors. One Deputy, indeed, seemed to let out the secret of his party (the Ultras,) in;a former debate on the same subject. Whether from having more honesty or less policy than his neighbours, he openly avowed that he supported the article—though in his opinion still short of the mark—upon the principle that the Catholic religion was the only true one, and all others were blasphemous errors. [MORNING POST.] Every day's , arrivals demonstrate the total want of foundation of the reports so industriously circulated a- fortnight since, that Turkey had accepted the Russian Ultimatum. That impor tant decision was stated to have taken place on the. 18th of December, the very day on which the . comminication said to have contained the intelligence was dated. Letters were yesterday received, which set that part of the question quite at rest. They are from Constantinople, and to the 29th of December, at which time there had been an extraordinary meeting of the Divan, but it had broken up without coming to any determination respecting the Ultimatum. At a. late hour last night we received Brussels Papers to the 26th instant. They also bring intelligence . from Constantinople, to the 29th of December, which makes no mention of the Rus sian Ultimatum, or of its acceptance. It states, however, another fact, which, if correct, is of considerable importance. The war with Persia is said to he really at an end. The Persians are represented, as having made repeated attacks on the Turkish troops, in the vicinity of Bagdad, without being able to dislodge them. Both parties then became weary of the contest, and agreed to the appointment of a Sheik, with powers to act as umpire between them. The result is said to have been a convention by which the Persians. agreed to evacuate the Ottoman territory, and to make good the damage they had done, . The convention had not been signed by Prince Mirza on the ground of illness ; and that circumstance, joined to the facility with which an agreement so disadvantageous to the Persians had been concluded, created a belief that the Prince was dead, and that his Officers were only anxious to secure the retreat of his army before the intelligence had transpired. The Cholera Morbus had prevailed for some time to a great extent, in those countries, especially at Schiraz, where seven thousand persons had fallen victims to its violence.—(Mid.) [BRITISH PRESS.] A popular commotion in Ireland is uniformly accompanied by attacks upon mail coaches. The mail coach betwien Cork and Macroom was at tacked and plundered on Thursday last, but the mail bags fortunately escaped. The fire-arms of the guard were probably the chief object of this attack, but we lament to,find that the coachman and guard were severely wounded, some of the passengers ill-treated, and the coach destroyed. On the same, day there was a skirmish between these robbers and a large party of troops from Macroom, in which eighty men of the rifle bri gade are said to 'have done feilerful execution.— We should mourn as sincerely as any persons the loss of human lives, but there is humanity in wishing that a terrific example should be , early made of these deluded miscreants who dis— turb the public peace. It is humanity to the, .great body of the guilty themselves, as such au event would in all probability deter them from further pursuing a career attended with effects. so :awful ; but with respect to the nation at. large, it implies .a feeling of mercy in the most ex tended sense. At the same time we may express a hope that the peasantry shall not be unnecessa rily irritated and driven into acts-of rebellion.— Acts of severity may be necessary in particular instances, and they who dare to appear in arms ought to be crushed at once by the active exer cise of military power ; but in reference to the general welfare of the kingdom, and to the fu ture hopes of its tranquillity, it would be wise and merciful to conciliate as much as possible the feelings of the people, and to inspire them with some degree of confidence in the benevolent dis position of their rulers. [MORNING CHRONICLE.I Mercantile letters from Bahia, received at Liverpool, convey a very different idea of the commotion which we a few days ago stated had taken place there at the commencement of last November, from any that has hitherto reached this country ; we shall therefore give as correct an abstract of them as we are able :—lt seems that on the morning of the Ist November, several proclamations appeared stuck up about different parts of the town, particularly near the troops' quarters, inviting the latter and the people to expel the present Government, and fixing the 3d for it to be done. A few mad and factious per sons also appeared in several Societies, and at tempted to insinuate this criminal doctrine, calumniating the Government, and trying to lower it in the public opinion. The Govern ment was not unaware of these facts ; but wishing to act moderately and prudently, they took no notice of these cabals. The stick ing up of the proclamations and all the other disorganizing plans were, in fact, the work only of half a dozen anarchists.—On the night of the 2d, the troops were however all kept in their quarters, and the Members of the • Government remained together. Nothing happened—in the morning every thing was tranquil, and the Senate met as usual. At eleven, a party of people, about thirty in number, entered the square, cry ing out " Long live the Constitution—Long live the Cortes—A new Government, and down with the old one !" Among the mob were some mili tary officers of rank. They overpowered the guard at the Town-house, took away the city standard, arid their numbers being increased, they posted off to the Palace where the Go vernment were sitting—The Junta of Govern ment being' informed of what was passing, sent Colonel Oliveira and Lieutenant-Colonel Pereira, two of the Members, to execute dis tinct commissions. During their absence, as well as that of the Town-major, the Govern ment being left entirely defenceless and unpre pared, the mob rushed into the Palace, and over- powered its inmates. Addressing themselves to the Public Functionaries, they said they . had resorted to that step in order to have a new Go vernment, adding, that such was the will of the people. Two Colonels, who had placed them selves at the head of the mob, accused the Go v^rnment of having acted unjustly, and declared that the people were not satisfied with them.— The Government answered, that if they had in voluntarily committed any injustice, the aggrieved parties could recur to the Cortes; that as a Go vernment, they were acknowledged by the whole nation, and consequently could not be put down, much less by a handful of factious persons, having no public representation whatever. in the mean time, the mob had taken possession of all the doors of the Palace, not allowing one of the Members of the Government to go out; nor, indeed, would they allow them to go into another room. 'Whilst these altercations were going on, loud cries were heard in the square, in favour of the existing Government, and against anarchists, which she w ed that the people were determined to support the Government. Colonel Pereira advanced With a company of infantry to the Palace-gate, and then ascended the staircase. The remain ing part of the same battalion followed, headed by Colonel Oliveira, and after them carne the Lusitanian Legion, and a small body of artillery. The leaders of the mob still persisted, and in vited the Governthent to withdraw the troops, requesting that the Commanders of the several corps might be called, and their opinions asked. Even in this the President of the Junta acquiesced, desirous that the mob should 'be satisfied. The officers were called, and distinctly said, that the present Government, duly elected as it was, and approved by the Cortes and King, was the Government they would obey and no other. The president, tired with the insults put upon him, at length ordered the populace to de part from the Palace, and that those who refused should be arrested: Some adopted the prudent resolution of going away ; but Gordilho and some of the worst braved his authority. The ringleaders were then arrested and sent to fort Barbalho, and in the night they were embarked in the frigate Plince Don Pedro, for Lisbon. By three o'clock in the afternoon every thing was tranquil, and the troops had retired to their quarters. LTHE. TIMES. The following is among the rumours circulated at Paris ; it is curious, we should conceive, rather as shewing the exaggeration of party, than as developing the politics of foreign Courts with truth or probability. An act or declaration such as the reader will find attributed to the Emperor Alexander, would really be giving up the Holy Alliance, and that in the most ungracious way to wards the other contracting parties :—" The Em peror Alexander, it is said, has expressed his high dissatisfaction with the late change in the Cabinet, and the manner in which it was effected. A despatch was received on Friday by the Russian Ambassador, dated St. Petersburgh, on the 6th or 7th instant, in which his Imperial Majesty desires it to be intimated to the French Government ) Male views with pain the dismissal of the Duke of Richelieu, and that whatever may be the consequences to France of the formation, of a Ministry like - the present, he considers himself solved from all engagetnents to interfere between the Bourbons and the people. The Duke of Richelieu, who, whatever may be his defects, is universally allowed to be of a frank and loyal character, has, it is said, great reason to, com plain of the want of directness, if not of positive insincerity, on the part of Monsieur, who pro. duced the late change, and may, probably, have communicated his treatment and feelings to his Imperial Protector. This, declaration of Alex ander may, perhaps, have given rise to the report about changes in the Cabinet." It must, we fear, be now acknowledged, that the disturbances in the south of Ireland are as suming' daily a more aggravated and formida ble character. We yesterday extracted from the Dublin papers, intelligence that a skirmish had taken place on the 24th instant, between a party of military, and a large body of in surgents, in the neighbourhood of Macroom, not more than twenty miles westward of the city of Cork ; and that a second party of troops, under the command of Captain Fitz clarence, had found the country-people near the same spot, assembled in such multitudes, and so strongly posted, as induced the Command ing-officer to send for a reinforcement from head quarters, before he could venture to offer battle. How this particular matter ended, the Irish Jour. nals do not enable us to state. But we can now add, that three days afterwards, viz. on Thurs day last, the 24th, a second action, or rather a series of skirmishes, was fought on the heights , near Macroom, between Colonel Mitchell, of the Rifle Corps, and eight or nine hundred of the peasantry. Colonel Mitchell appears to have come up with his enemy just towards the close of an attack on the mail-coach, but in time to rescue some of the bags. As our troops acted in small parties, the Insurgents made frequent attempts to charge them, but were always repelled by their steady fire. Several of these misguided men were 'killed, and twenty two taken prisoners. Great praises are.-given to Colonel Mitchell in the Irish papers, for the judgment and spirit with which he con ducted this affair : he lost but one man killed, 'and one wounded. The insurgents were in part only furnished with fire arms, but much more generally with pikes. Where such means are resorted to for obtaining a redress of grievances, whether real, or—as we fear they are not in the present instance—altogether fictitious or exag gerated, no alternative unhappily remains to.the Government but to begin by enforcing its autho rity at all hazards. The most intolerable of grievances is the impotence of the laws.—(lbid.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.. YORK SPRING VEETING.—FIusr DAY.

LAW INT ELLIG ENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN - .. 29. CONTEMPT OF COURT. DnEwE v. CROUCH. Mr. SHADWELL said it was necessary for him to make an application to his Lordship, in consequence of a female ward 'of the Court having been clandestinely married. The name of the ward was Miss Drewe, and since the month 'of Dec. 1020, up to the 20th inst. the young lady, who was only 13 years of age, had resided. with her aunt Mrs. Byefield, .In Old Compton_ street, Soho. On the morning of the 20th of the present month Miss Drewe left her aunt's house before any of the family had risen, and without the knowledge of any person. Mrs. Byefield made every inquiry to ascertain whither her niece had gene; but without success. On the following day, the 21st, Mrs.l3yefield became apprehensive that Miss Drewe had eloped in order to gefrharned; anti she therefore caused-notices to be served on .the churches in the neighbourhood that her niece was a Ward of Chancery. On the same day the buSband of Mrs. Byefleld received the following note, which bore no signature :—"•Sir, fearing, that an, accidental circumstance may have prevented the delivery of a note from your niece to yourself or Mrs. Byefieldo beg to assure you that sh e i s in p er f ec t he a l t h and spiritt, and .that. you may expect to see or hear from her on' Wednesday or Thursday next, and trust that matters will prihe satisfactory to.all parties." On the Wednesday following, the 23d, a person calling herself Mrs. Turner, called on Mrs. Byefield, - and informed that lady that her neice was married to her son, Mr. Wm. Turner. of Cullum -street, Tenehurch street. The marriage, Mrs. Turner stated, had ta.!:en place on the-Clay - on which the infant had eloped. - Mrs. Turner, upon being qnestioned, did not deny that she and her faMily, (of whom her son John, and ber grand-daughter Elizabeth) were privy to, and had assisted at, the marriage of William Turner and Miss Drewe, knew the latter to be a Ward of the Court. Under those circumstances the Learned Counsel prayed that his Lordship veoplti order Mrs. Turner, her - two sons, and her grand-daughter, to attend in Court to, answer for the contempt of which they had been guilty. - • The Loan CHANCELLOR. directed the parties named by Mr. Shadwell to attend in Court on Fridayinorning next. COURT OF KTNO'S BENCH, JAN. 29. COY V. TROY. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 9991. drawn at. sixtyp~one . days' sight, by Roche and Co. of Cork, on the de.: fondant in London. The bill was regularly left for acceptance by the holder (the plaintiff) at the cleEndant's counting-house, hut was net called for till three days afterwards, when it was given back by the defendant, with his acceptance thereon dated on the day the bill was left, but which acceptance he had sub sequently erased, in consequence of some change of circum-. stances. The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff, subject to the opinion of ; the Court on the question, whether, in point ()flaw, this was a valid acceptance. TY argued at considerable 'length in support of the - doctrine, that the acceptance being once made by the drawee, - could not afterwards be revoked by him, and cited in support of his : position the cases of Bentinck v. Dorrien, and Fernandez v. 'Wynn, decided by Lord Ellenborough at Nisi Prins. Ile also quoted the opinion of ,Monsietir Pardessus, a modern French writer on commercial rights, as favouring the doctrine for which lie contended. Mr. PENMAN was about to rise on behalf of the defendant, but was stopped by 'Che.Couwr, who were unanimously of opinion that judg ment must be for the defendant. In questions of thi s ximl, the opinions of foreign courts, or learned foreign writers was entitled to great attention ; but it would be found, on referring to the next sentence of Pardessus' work, quoted by Mr. Chitty, that he spoke of a bill which had been negotiated, and that he agreed with the learned Potter, and with the law, as now laid down by the Court, in cases where, as here, the acceptance had been cancelled before the bill went out of the drawee's posses. sion.—.Tudgnient for the defendant.

This was an action against the defendants, Members of the Manchester Yeomanry, for an assault committed on the plaintiff at the Manchester Meeting, in August 1819.

Mr. Serjeant LAWES, in the courseof the last Term, had oh' tained 4. rule to shew cause why an annuity granted by the c le / fendant to the present pl a intiff s as Di rec t ors o f th e Star-P• e Annuity - Office, 'should not be set aside • and Why the deed g should not be delivered up to be cancelled. He founded 1 1 . motion on an affidavit of the defendant; from which it Appea r ' that in May, 1818, bein g very much distressed for money t? meet his various 'exigencies, Sir Thomas (then' Mr. Champ"'. nays) had applied to Messrs. • Howard and Gibbs to raise lam the sum of twenty thousand pounds, which they said th cl would attempt to procure on annuity f rom the S tar Ananiti. Office. For this accommodation, the defendant was to secur e an annuity on his estates, at' he rate of 121. per cent. whi% would amount to a sum of 24001. ; besides w hi c h he 11 .. to pay Messrs. Howard and Gibbs 01. per cent. for their preen', ration of the advance. The affidavit further stateda that abou t 17,0001. of this loan had been expend ea by m essrs . rlosvarcl Gibbs to paY off several outstanding annuities formerly . ,;•rante v ' t . by the defendant to .other persons. That two sums for intere., and commission had been deducted, leaving a balance in favour -of 11321. which he had never received; and which only been carried to his account in the plaintiff's book. r - 1 -Y' retention of the consideration money, and charge of comini', sion and prccuration, by the parties who had nominally ad vanced the money for which the an n u ity was gran t e d, wer e con' tended to vitiate the deed, under the provisions of the 53 Gam' 3. c. 141, sec 6. of the Annuity ACt. Mr. Serjeant LENS on Saturday, and Mr. Serjeant Oral , ° e l on Monday, shewed cause aga i ns t th e ru l e - They produce the affidavits of Gibbs, of a Mr. Stephen, and of Mr. Burt °n ; the defendant's agent at the time of the transaction, denr% a the retention of the consider a ti on mone y.

Champneys when the • de e d s w ere ex e cu t e d, an d that a; his consent and agreement .17,0001. h a d b een re t a i ne d for t l7 4 purpose of paying- off these outstanding annuities, that re; leases of these old annuities were given .to the defendant, an 7 the remainder of the money h a nd e d over to' him, when tl e 'j deeds were executed. That_ the sum of. 10001. mention in the defendant's affidavit, had riot been deducted, althougl it had • been• previously agreed 'that Messrs.

Mr. Serjeant LENS. accounted for this apparent disagraffa ment, by saying, that the l a tt er G e ntl eman hail only depose" - what he himself had. seen, and- to no other parts of this cein plicated transaction. The Learned Serjeant contended, tl . r ,e the facts stated by the defend an t h a d b een f u ll y answere d in affidavits which had been just produced, an d i ns i s t e d that t" ° rule ought to be discharge& Mr. Serjeant LAWES replied -on behalf of the defenda rt .: He acknowledged, that taken - nienierically, the affida yi . t ; produced by his Learned Friends were stronger than . ITJ but was that a reason why t his rule s h ou ld b e dischargc u c i , - • It had been stated, that if thi s rule should be clischarg e gi the plaintiffs would be without a re m e dy ; b u t th e y wo uld s t ae be able to maintain an a c ti on aga i ns t th e defendant for - sums really not nominally a d va n ce d, an d w h o was n ow ho` able and willing to pay what he really owed. ia 11 The Court adjourned the further c onsid era ti on o f this case " to-day ; 'when ,rfzirl Mr. Serjeant PEARE-appeared to support the rule ou--- dboyubitrihSact-rtiheeanit,BLoo3l‘.vheas,d, b eo e n en ten re d ta in i g nea th i a n t th t e le m r a e ni c l o ur uT ese b r e i4J • by the defendant. •re Lord Chief Justice DAttAS observed, that Pany person ~ more qualified than another to answer any c:rarge Of this d e ' t at cription, it was the person against "whom thi:i charge-hoikbtli brought.
