distinction of country, fawn one family sprer.Aover the earth.—
The Englishinenipotentiary has proved to the Spaniards thai
he is woithy of the nation to which he belongs."

A plot had been detected and defeated at Cadiz, and the
principal conspirators arrested, among whom are several well-
known seditious characters. Don ALPHONSO MORENO
GUERRA and Brigadier-General ZALDIVAR are of the number.
The Constitutionalists continurto gain advantages over the in-
surgents in the provinces ; anda.dvices had arrived of the occu-
pation of Siguenza by the Constitutional troops. This circum-
stance is of considerable importance, for :" Siguenza is consi-
dered as the Bayonne of Spain," the hot-bed of insurrection.

We have received the French Papers of Thurs-
day and Friday. They contain accounts from Madrid to the
16th instant, of the same nature as those supplied us by the
Spanish Journals, to which we have before adverted. The
proceedings of the "French Chamber of Deputies are at
present more than usually interesting. In that assembly
on the 24th, frequent allusions were made to the present
state of Europe, and more especially to the situation of
Spain, on the Resolution for defraying the charges of the Fo-
reign Ministry. The conduct of the French Government to.
wards Spain had been severely reprobated in the discussion of
the preceding day, and on the opening of the debate on
the 24th, M. de Ronald replied to those attacks, and
denied that the French Government hall interfered in the int
ternal affairs of that country. General For, in an eloquen-
speech, maintained the contrary, and called upon the Ministry, to
beware lest their conduct towards that kingdom should produce
the same effect as the manifesto of the Duke of Batniswlcs in
France. He contended that the French Ministry had endeavour-
ed to create confusion on the other side of the Pyrenees, and
adduced several Pacts which afforded strong presumptive proof
that the disaffected in Spain relied upon the assistance of France.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, in reply to General For,
rebutted the charges brought against the French Government,
and contended that the troops on the Pyrenean frontiers were
not assembled for any hostile purpose, and for no other than to
prevent the introduction of the yellow fever.

The conduct of the French Government towards the Greeks
was also attacked by General For, in the course, of his speech,
as well rs by some other members, who contended that it was
the duty of every Christian Government to protect the Greeks,
and assist them against the Turks, who threatened their gene-
ral extermination. M. LAINE defended the conduct of the
French Government, whose exertions in favour of the Greeks
appear certainly to be more efficacious and meritorious than those
of other Countries.

understood his Hon. Friend, thiMember for Caernarvon, Was
to bring in a Bill to remedy those defects. and the house was
not at present in a condition to come to a decision on the ques-
tion ; besides the opinionsof two previous Committees were in
favour of amendMent and not of abolition.
• Mr. C. WILSON wished, to assimilate the Jurisdictions ;
and at the same time bore his testimony to the respectability of
the Welch Judges. •
Mr. W. WYNN thought it very. desirable to have the Juris-
dictions assimilated; at the same time, he thought the present
plan so open to objection, that he recommended the Hon.
Mover to withdraw it for the present. If the intended propo-
sition of his Right Hon. Friend, the Attorney-General, did
not meet his views, itwould be at his option to bring the subject
forward again.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR did not hesitate to state it as his opi-
nion that, in the selection of Welsh Judges, the paramount
consideration .was patronage.—( Hear hear !)—He would go
further, and say they. were too generally political app.ointments.
He considered so serious a question as the administration of
justice ought not to discussed in so thin a House ' • and he there-
fore should move, as an Amendment, that the further discus-
sion should be postponed until that day fortnight.
After a few observations from Sir C. Cole, Mr. Peel, and
Mr. Denman, Mr. M. A. Taylor persisting in his motion for
an adjournment of the discussion, the Gallery was cleared for a
division ; but it appearing that only 34 Meinbers were present,
an adjournment of the House of course took place.

[BRITISH PRESS.]

Spanish Papers to the 10th instant have been
received at our Office. It is stated in them that
Cadiz, the principal port of Spain, is blockaded
by a single insurgent privateer. The 44 National
Consulate" has reiterated its complaint upon this
disgraceful subject. to the Commander of the
Marine Department, who answered that the com-
Plaint had been transmitted to his Majesty, who
alone is competent to afford relief.

[MORNING POST.]
We continue to receive from all parts of the
country the most gratifying accounts of the pro-
gress of the huniane exertions of Englishmen
for the relief of their suffering fellow-creatures in
Ireland. The Committee at Lloyd's, we are

IRISH POLICE.

Mr. CiOtTLBURN said that in bringing forward this sub-
-joct he should shut out from his consideration the great ques-
tionswith regard to Ireland, which 'would be more properly
discuSsed upon other occasions. The outline of the Bill was,
"to vest in the hands of the Executive the power of creating
epecisi magi,trates, and to eziable policemen to be transferred
from one barony to another, to be under the control of the
magistracy. He trusted the Sill would be discussed at length
upon some of its future stages, when its merits could be better
understood by the House. He moved for leave to 'bring in a
Bill to authorise'the appointment of Constables in Ireland, so
as to secure the tranquillity of the country, by the removal from
barony to barony. '
Sir J. NEWPORT said that the measure appeared to li:t;
. to place a large farmer at the disposal of the local Magistrates,
and to leave them without responsibility. Upon this first view
of the measure, these were the principal objections which pre-
. seated themselves to his mind.
Mr. V. FITZGERALD thought the thanks of the House
due to his Right Hon. Friend, for having thus early brought
the subject before the House. It was one in which he had
for along time been deeply interested, and he was much gra-
tified at seeing it in such good hands. '
Mr. necretary PEEL, thought the Hon. Baronet would not
firld, upon reflection, that his objections could lie against the
Bill. He was satisfied that the Hon. Baronet would apply his
mind to the measure proposed, without permitting any pre-
.onceived opinion to interfere with his deliberate judgment.
Seviral attempts had been made to accomplish this desirable
.object„ but hitherto without success ; and it was his earnest
hope that it might now be rendered practicable. He believed
that the chief evils of Ireland arose from the ordinary English
laws not having had a fair trial in that country. He did not
mean to anticipate discussion, and he should therefore only
express his opinion that what was proposed might now be
done; and it was agreed on all hands, that if an effective police
could be'established in Ireland, the greatest benefits must arise
-Itoal it.

Mr. BROUGHAM put a question across the table- to Mr.
Goukburn, which, as well as the answer, was inaudible.—
Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
WELSH JUDICATURE.

' nesses examined before various Committees of the House, to
thew that-the equitable jurisdiction *as altogether -I.efVetiVe...,‘-

THE MONUMENT.
MR. EDITOR—There is a little inscription in
conspicuous characters upon that elegant Column,
which at this time it may be proper to notice, as
many of our Senators may not hitherto have had
an eye to it. It runs thus :
This Pillar was set up in perpetual remembrance
Of that most dreadful Burning of this Protestant City,
Begun and carried on by the treachery of a Popish Faction,
In the year of our Lord 1666;
In order to the cairying on of their horrid Plot
For extirpating the Protestant Religion
And old English Liberty; and for the introduction
Of Popery and Slavery.

OLD BAILEY-(T1 15 DAY.)

This morning the Court was crowded to ex-
cess to witness the trial of Ann Mountford,
charged with the wilful murder of her own infant,
Lucy Mountford, aged eight months, by severing
its head from the body by a sharp instrument.—
On the Judges coming into Court she was
placed at the bar; her appearance was mild and
becoming, but her countenance bore a wild sort
of smile.—To the indictment she pleaded Not
Guilty.

The first witness was Mary Ireland, who
lodged in the same house with the prisoner.—
She proved the incoherent behaviour of the un-
happy womon on the morning the dreadful oc-
currence took place; and her having said she
had murdered her child, and wished to be
hanged.

Robert Cranch, a constable, took the prisoner
into custody ; he asked her what induced her to
commit the rash act; she replied she had been un-
comfortable in her mind for some time ; " she
once possessed the good things of the Lord, but
now had lost them ;" she had attempted to hailg
herself three weeks before'she killed the child,
but could not do it ; she had tried the same morn-
ing at the wheel loom, but could not accomplish
it ; she had selected the youngest child because
she thought she could kill it the easiest.
Several other persons were called on behalf of
the prosecution, but all their evidence in some re-
spect tended to prove the insanity of the prisoner.
This being the case for the prosecution, Mr.
Justice BAILEY called on the prisoner for her
defence. She said, " 1 would sooner die than.
go borne to my family."
Two persons proved her to be afflicted with
an hereditary madness.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY here interrupted the case,
and asked the Jury if they were satisfied ; they
replied 44 yes, as to the prisoner's insanity ;"
they then returned a verdict of Guilty, but that
the prisoner was not of sound mind when she
committed the offence.—This verdict subjects
her to be imprisoned for life.

A NEW SERIES.

We take this opportunity of informing the Public, that The
Lady's Magazine has changed its Proprietor, and fallen into
the hands of the Gentleman who projected the New Series,
commencing in January, 1620, and who issued a Prospectus,
detailing his intended plan, which gave such general satisfac-
tion that the sale of the Magazine increased many hundred
copies in the space of one month. Circumstances prevented
that plan from being more than partially adopted ; but our
friends may now rest assured that no pains will be spared by
the present Proprietor, to render this Magazine one of the best
as it is one of the oldest Periodical Miscellanies to be found in
the present day ; and he has no doubt that each succeeding
Number will bear evident marks of improvement. Exclu-
sive of elegant and novel Embellishments, a Lithographic
Drawing, by an eminent Artist, will occasionally be given as
an original for Ladies to copy ; and a more ample survey will
be taken of elegant Literature, of Music, the Fine Arts, &c.

but to the parties.

OLD BAILEY, MAY 23.

ABSENCE or PROSECUTORS.—On the sitting of the Court
this morning, the prosecutors in twenty cases did not appear
when called. Considerable delay in consequenc',e took place,
and the RECORDER, after animadverting on the conduct of
the persons who were bound to further the ends of justice, ob-
served he should notice the subject when the causes came be-
fore the Court:
John Franklin was indicted for a burglary in the house of
Thomas Gubbins, at Staines, on the 11th instant, and stealing
some shoes.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing only.
Mr. Law here entered the Court and said, he was retained
for the prisoner, but in consequence of the case being taken out
of its turn, he had not arrived in time, nor had the witnesses
for the defence.
The.REcortpr It regretted the circumstance, hut said the
Witnesses should be examined on their arrival.

On Wednesday night the house of Mr. Thomas
Frey, Belgrave-place, Pimlico, was broken into,
and robbed of apparel, plate, and other property
to a large amount.

FELTON V. EASTHOPE, ESQ.

This was an action under the Bribery Act, to recover pe-
nalties against the defendant, for bribing certain freemen of the
borough of St. Albans, to vote for him at the election of a Bur-
gess to serve in Parliament for that Borough, in December,
1321, in the room of W. Tierney Robarts, Esq. deceased. The
penalties sought to be recovered amounted to about 10,0001.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. HOLT conducted the
plaintiff's case, and Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. PULLER the
defendant's.
The case for the plaintiff rested principally upon the tes-
imony of his father, Robert Felton, a bankrupt, now a
prisoner in the King's Bench prison, at the suit of the de-
fendant ; and who was employed by the defendant as his
confidential agent in managing his canvas for the Borough
of St. Albans, in December, 1821. Four other actions were
promoted by the same person, one at his own suit, in Hertford-
shire, and the remainder at the nominal suit of his son, in as,
many different counties. According to his evidence, he was
authorized by the defendant to promise to the out-voters for the
borough, resident in London, two guineas for their expences,
whilst attending the election, and three guineas each for their
votes, after the election was over ; and he stated that the per-
sons who voted for the defendant had been paid after this rate.
Several of the voters were examined, who proved it to be the
custom of the borough of St. Albans to be paid for the exercise
of their elective franchises after this scale.
Several respectable witnesses were examined on behalf of the
defendant, to contradict Felton, and to shew that the defendant
was wholly ignorant of any bargain having been made of the
nature stated by him.
The CHIEF JUSTICE, in his charge to the Jury, directed
their attention to the form of the declaration, which alleged the
corrupt bargains to have taken place before the election, where-
as the evidence had most reference to supposed corrupt bargains
after the election. They would, however, direct their attention
to the evidence on both sides, and give it such weight as the
credit of the witnesses in their judgment seemed to deserve.
The Jury immediately found their verdict for the defendant.
The trial lasted the greatest part of the day, and was not
, over until half-past six o'clock.

THE LORD COLLINGWOOD.

In answer to a question from Mr. BEN NE:,
The Marquis of LONDONDERR Y said, that from the
inquiries he had, made relative to the reported detention of the
British vessA,. the Lord Colling wood, by a Spanish privateer,
iti January last, in consequence of the blockade of Buenos
Apes, it appeared that it was not in any shape connected with
the Spanish colonial laws, as had been stated in that House.
He had written immediately to the Spanish Ambassador, who
was totally ignorant of the circumstance, and Was not aware
of the existence of any privateer of the name that had been
stated, nor did he know any. think of the blockade. He, re-
ceived the same answer from the Board of Trade, and the mat-
ter was now in course of investigation by our Minister at Ma-
drid, as well on the part of this Government as on the part of
the Spanish Ambassailor here. He assured the Hon. Member
that the utmost attention was paid to the British commercial
interests in this particular, and that no violation of rights of
the nature alluded to would be suffered to pass unnoticed. At
the same time he might observe, that a distinct notification had
been made some time back that this country could not acquiesce
in the colonial laws of Spain.—( Hear !)
Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH considered the explanation
of the Noble Marquis as of a most gratifying nature; for it
was certainly most necessary to the well-being of our Commer-
cial interests that they should know that they will be protected
against lawless invasion and interruption. It was of great im-
portanee to their security,. that in Commercial Laws, right
should be merely incident to possession.

A RELIGIOUS IMPOSTOR.

John Watson, aged 39, and Eliza Worthy, aged 17, were in-
dicted for stealing a quantity of wearing apparel and other ar-
ticles, from the dwelling-house of John Wilson.

This case excited considerable curiosity. The male prisoner
obtained lodgings at the house of the prosecutor, where he re-
mained two days, and appeared extremely attentive to the
duties of religion. He found his way, however, on the second
night, to the bed-room of the girl Worthy, and, under promise
of marriage, persuaded her to elope with him during Mrs. Wil-
son's absence. He took care, however, previously, to break
open the drawers, and carry off some valuable property, which
was subsequently found in his possession, and the fugitives
were taken into custody.
The girl's mistress gave her a most excellent character, on.
account of which she was sentenced to only six months' im-
prisonment • and Watson, after a strong animadversion by the
Judge on the hypocritical pretence on which he seduced the
girl, was sentenced to seven years' transportation.
The whole of the capital convicts were reprieved before the
Judge left the town.
The Commission of Oyer and Terminer was opened this
morning by Mr. Baron GRAHAM, attended by J. NETHER-
coaI', Esq. as High Sheriff; and, on returning from church,
he sat at the Crown side, and having tried two prisoners--:one
for sheep-stealing—adjourned the Court till to-morrow.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 17.—The Calender is not numerous,

A MERMAID.

Extract of a Letter from the Rev. Dr. PHILIP, Representative
of the London Missionary Society, at Cape Town, Cape of
Good Hope, dated April 26, 1822 :
" I have to-day seen a Mermaid, now exhibiting in this town.
I have always treated the existence of this creature as fabu-
lous, but my scepticism is now removed. The head is almost
the size of that of a baboon. It is thinly coveted with black
hair, hanging down, and not inclined to frizzle. On the up-
per lip and on the chin there are a few hairs, resembling those
upon the head. The ossa malarunz, or cheek bones, are pro-
minent. The forehead is low, but, except in this particular,
the features are much better proportioned, and bear a more
decided resemblance to the human countenance than those of
any of the baboon tribes. The head is turned back, and the
countenance has an expression of terror, which gives it an ap-
pearance of a caricature of the human face ; but I am disposed
to think that both these circumstances are accidental,, and have
arisen from the manner in which the creature met its death. It
bears the appearance of having died in great agony. The ears,
nose, lips, chin, breasts, and nipples, fingers and nails, re-
semble those of a human figure. The spinous processes of the
vertebrw are very prominent. The length of the animal is
three feet ; but not having been at all well preserved it has
shrunk very considerably, and must have been both longer
and thicker when it was alive than it is now. Its resem-
blance to the human species ceases immediately under the
mamma.. On the line of separation, and directly under the
breast, are two fins. From the point where the human figure
ceases, which is about twelve inches below the vertex of the
head, it resembles a large fish of the salmon species. It is
covered with scales all over. On the lower part of the animal
the scales resemble those of a fish ; but on that part of the
animal which resembles the human form. they are much less,
and scarcely perceptible, except on a Dear inspection. On the
lower part of the body it has six fins, one dorsal, two ventrical,
two pectoral, and the tail. The figure of the tail is exactly
that which is given in the usual representations of the mermaid.
It was caught somewhere on the North of China by a fisher,.
man, who sold it for a trifle ; after which it was brought to Ba-
tavia. Here it was purchased by Captain Eades for 5000
Spanish dollars, and he has since been offered 10,000 Spanish
dollars for it, but refuses to part with it for that sum. Captain
Eades is a passenger on board the American ship Lion, now in
Table Bay ; he leaves this port in about a fortnight, and the
Lion :visits the Thames on her passage to America, so that it
will probably be soon exhibited in London."

SPAIN.

MADRID, JULY B.—The following are further
details respecting the events of the Gth and 7th :
The position of Madrid in the commencement
of the 7th was most alarming. The column of
the Royal Guard, which had debouched on the
Place del Sol, came in contact only with a Guard
not sufficiently numerous to resist it ; but Pro-
vidence watched over the liberties of Spain. A
musket shot, fired by a citizen who was in the
house of General Morillo, sufficed to spread alarm
over the Place of the Constitution. On the first
news of the engagement, Generals Ballasteros,
Riego, Pallahera (so well known in the war of in-
dependence), Morillo, and the Minister of War,
who had abandoned his colleagues to take his
place with the Patriots before the park of artil-
lery, rushed forward at the gallop. General
Riego, who had no command, remained during
the whole attack with the Militia. Gen. Ballas-
teros dared to attack the mass of the column at
the head of twelve horsemen only. The Liberales,
conquerors', testified the greatest respect for the
Royal Family. On the 7th and Bth the tran-
quillity of the city was perfect. Such a tranquil-
lity is as astonishing as honourable. If the ser-
vile faction had triumphed, the scene would have
presented a very different aspect.
After the Te Deum chaunted the morning of
the Bth, they proceeded with pomp to the inter-
ment of the Lieut., Colonel of the Guard Lauda-
burn, assassinated in the Palace the first day of
the Meeting. The Militia and all the troops of
the garrison followed the procession, as the antient
Romans followed that of Lucretia, and traversed
with religious solemnity the principal streets of
the capital.
It is affirmed that the Royal Family were on
the point of incurring great danger amidst the
rebels, but the new guard observes the most
severe discipline. The greatest order reigns in
the Palace, which the militia and the patriots
have not wished to enter, from a delicacy which
cannot fail to confound the malevolent.

The victorious patriots contented themselves
with demanding from the King constitutional
guarantees, not illusory, in the re-organization of
the Administration. The new Ministry, it is
said, will be composed thus :---Minister of War,
General Palahera, distinguished for his conduct
formerly, and also during the last few days ; Mini-
ster of the Interior, Sr. Dasco, a very respect-
able man, who signalized himself last year in the
Cortes by his enlightened patriotism, and his
firmness of character; Minister of Justice, Sr.
Calatrava, one of the most distinguished Juris-
consults of Spain, the same who had so great a
part itt the framing the Penal Code, and one of
the most' solid orators of the last Cortes. ,

A body of 40 Italian refugees, organised under
the orders of a Spanish Officer, fought with
much courage, and merited the eulogium of the
Patriots,(Constitutionnel.)
