The Warlike tendeoti d nee afticlai to di Nees

to town within ifitliint tiro ,se three days,
given birth to much fpeculation in the City,
.And en impression teemed yesterday to be very
generally entertained that a war was inevitable
„hrtaeen Spain and the United States. This coil.
jecture, however, evidently depends upon several
;.,eoutingencies, and it is manifest that no satisfac-
tory information INN hitherto reached this country
respecting the actual state of the negociations
between the Governments of Madrid and Wash-
ington. There is no point, therefore, on which •
judgment can be formed, and speculation upon the
Mihjrct consequently fails to excite any interest.
Indeed in the present crippled state of the Spanish
Monarchy, when y the visitation of Providence its
whole system is debilitated, the conduct of the
United States alone can be • subject for considers-
non—for, should the American Government deter•
-min ripen seizing the Florida by force of arm►,
The King of Sp&tw mast submit to the outrage
without the power of offering the slightest resistance.

It will be seen by referring to our report of the
law proceedings in the Court of liiog's Bench
yeiferday, that Mr. HUNT renewed his application
for a rule to shew cause why a criminal information
should not be filed against certain individuals,
Magistrates of Manchester. This application was
as unsuccessful as that which he made ■ few days
since ; nor was lie more fortunate in another and
Mill stranger application which he urged, namely,
that the Judges should direct the Attorney or
Solicitor-Getseral to move fur a criminal Mem-
, motion against the Magistrates. The Judges have
.in certain cams • power of assigning Counsel,
with the concurrence of the Counsel and the par-
:ties, as when an individual Ilan infarnd pouperis,
or its cases of high treason, but it was never sup-
' .posed that any Court of Law could command an
Officer of the Crown, or any Gentleman of the
Bar, to institute a 'criminal proceeding ; even
the House of Imedis, fermi'
banal in the empire, never
commands upon the Attorney or era!,
but whenever a case came under their considera-
tion which seemed to require the interference of a
Court of criminal jurisdiction, their Lordships have
uniforinly presented an address to the Sovereign,
praying this he may be pleased to order the Law
Officers of the Crown to proceed according to the
nature of the trausaction. The Judges, therefore,
without hestiation, refused the application. Mr.
HutiT, it seems, has, either from • confidence in his
own powers, or a contempt of the Gentlenten of the
Bar, made a very silly resolution never to commit
his affairs to the discretion o► !abilities of a " hired
advocate." Thi; vow, to which oo doubt he means
to adhere faithfully, unfortunately deprives Mr.
Howe of sill chance of obtaining such re-
dress floas the Magistrates of Manchester, for
the injuries which he supposes himself to have
received, as lie may conceive alone suited to their
conduct. The Judges have explained to him
that they will suffer none but • Barrister to move
for a criminal information, and without expressing
an opinion upon the wisdom or propriety of this
rule of Court, we cannot but look upon Mr. HUNT
as not evincing much wisdom in refusing to sub.
mit to it.

The Navy Office has given notice in the City,
that Government will want a few vessels, from 350
to 500 taus each, to convey the emigrants, how.
3tc. In the Cape of Good Hope. It is re.
ported in the City that twenty vessels, at least, will
be reqnired.

The most pressing Circular, by Lord CASTLE.
REAGIi, has been forwarded to all the Members
who have pledged their votes to Ministry, entreating
them to attend on the first day of the meeting of
Parliament, as business of the most important kind
is to come on. The exertions made by Goiernment
to procure a full attendance Of their frieeds (as they
call those who surrender their judgment iodic Trea-
sury) are unexampled, sod we doubt not but the
phalanx will be forraed with all its usual strength.
May we not hope that the truly independent Mem.
bets, who feel that it is to the constituent body of
the Commons of the United Kingdom, and nut to
Lord CASTLERFAGII, that they owe responsibility,
will feel the urgent necessity of their attendance, at
a moment so critical ? It is manifest that notwith-
standing the absurdity of the doctrines of Radical
Refisiaters, ail the inefficacy of all their attempts
to delude the people, their Meetings are to be made
the pretext fur rucruachments on the rights secured
to all by the Charter of our Liberties. It would
seem that no argument would be necesaury to bliog
every patriot to his post; und we know out how any
man who has received the important trust of a Re-
presentative can apologise to his country for his ab-
sence at such a trials.
