COACH ROBBERIES.

MANSION-IfousE.--lesterday, Sergen#l, the
guard of the Birmingham Balloon Coach, and Clarke end Gide
ford, ene two men who were leriprehended on suspicion of being
parties to the robbery of the Bankers' parcels, containing notes
to the amount of nearly 8,0001. were brought up for fusel ex-
amination.
' 31r. ALLEY attended for the prisoners.
Mr. HI:3IPHREYS, the solicitor, for the bankers.
The prisoners bad been remanded in consequence of informa-
tion that a female who went down to Birmgighani in the with.
out of which the parcel had been stolen, was able to identify
Clarke and Clifford as persons engaged in the robbery. The
Bankers, with the pertrussion of the Lord Mayor, .dispatched
Mr. Cope, the £!arshal, to Abergav'enny, to which piece the
feinale.passenger bad gone after her arrival at Birtniteeham,
and on Tuesday night the Marshal returned with the witness.
The new witness, whose name is Elliott, stated, that she west
the wife of a private in the 14th Lancers, and was a peseienger
in the Birmingham Balloon Coach on the day the robbery was
coneriiitted. Before she heard the alarth of the rohliclry in the,
yard of the Swanewith-two-Neeks Inn, she ease a man go up
to the coach while the horse-keeper was cleaniug . the windows,
and heard him say that' he Was going down by the Coach. The
horse-keeper had the door in his band at the, tithe, and the
stranger threw a great coat in. Witriree wee loitering about the
yard at the time, and she did not see any one take it. away. At
the time this took place, there was a man standing under the
gateway, whom she should know again.
The LORD Maxon desired her to look round the justice-
room, and say whether she could identify any one of these she
saw in the yard amongst the crowd. She replied' that she could
not see any one there of whom she had any knowledge dr 're-
collection; but she added, that in the Mansion-house public-
house, it short time before the examination commenced, *She
saw one of the men.
Mr. COPE said, the witness had, in that public.honse paint-
ed out a person as one of the individuals who had been in the
yard, against whom it was Impoesible that any imputation: of
the kind could rest.
. , .
Clarke and Clifford were then discharged, Mr. ALI.T.Y }hir-
ing assured the LORD MAYOR that they would .t all Mlles he
ready to appear upon being sent for upon the subject..,
The Loup MAYOR then addressed Sergeant; t lie guard, upon
the charge against him, which co tainly amounted to an Levu-
tation of a serious nature to a person, confidentially employed.
The very grossest negligence was attributable to Wm, and the
inconvenience he hadr,suffered was well de Breed. His Lord..
ship, in speaking of the loss sustained by;the:Batikers, observed,
that they should exercise more caution in sending their notes
from lace to place. They. might secure them, that is, against
plunder of the kind, by cutting their notes in helves.
The guard was then discharged, owe: entering into his own
recognizance of UK to appear next Session to answer any
complaint or indictment that might-be preferred against hitn.
EXETER SUBSCRIPTION COACII ROBREItY.--
Thomas was brought up for a final examination, on the charge
of having stolen a parcel of Bankers' notes, to the • amount of
upwards of 1401. out of the Exeter Subscription Coach, in
Piecadilly.-1 he evidence his been already 'detailed our ac-
counts from the Justice Room.
Mr. Iluateatitres, for the prosecution, submitted that a
case was made out for a Jury in the testimony of the iwo Meat •
who followed him from Holborn to Piccadilly, and of the poi.-
ter who changed the notes for him at the Banking-lioUsein the
City.
The guard of the Exeter Coach was at the last tald Bails'
Sessions ordered to be sent back until next Session., upon the
affidavit of Mr. Humphreys, stating that it would be Mei:63'4
to the ends of justice to disclose the evidencteupen the case et
that period, and that more evidence was expected.
Applicatioa was made upon the occasion to the Court to pet.. mit the guard to put in bail, but the application new. e -
The prisoner sues committed for trial.—He 'seemed 'very
anxious to speak in his defence, by accusing one of the Wit-
nesses against him : but Mr. Harmer advised him not to spefik a word.

personification of age, poverty, and diSease. I ferdstield, the
officer of this Justice-room, in passing along FL,et-stret2t, on
Wednesday evening, saw him in altercation with two gentlemen.
and upon inquiry, learnt that they were accusing him of an tit-
tempt to pick their pockets. Knowing the character of &attics,
'he thought it advisable to take him into custody to the Conipter,
where he was searched. Sixpence-halfpenny was his whae
stock of cash, but in pawnbrokers' duplicates he abounded---no
less than 36 being found in his possession, and several of them
for trifling articles. Bill retained much of his gentlemanly ad..

Till?. LONDON JOURNALS.

ECIRACTS FROli THE DAILY MORNING PAPEII9I
January 24, 1823.

MORNING rosT.]
Faris Journals to the 22d inst. arrived last
night by Express. They still abound with
rumours of Ministerial changes, but nothing de-
sisive had yet taken place. The recall of Count
de is Garde continued to be asserted by tne
Ultras, whilst the Journal des IMbats and the
Moniteuti refuted the assertion by their silence
on that subject. The language of the Journal des
Wiwi*, however, has.experienced is considerable
change. It is become angry, and violent, nay
almost hostile to this country. These are
symptoms from which the .decline of M.
Villele's influence over that paper, and
probably in the Cabinet, may be implied,
iind if they should continue or increase, they
must be taken as sure iudications of his approach-
ing retirement, and of the triumph of the war
party. Indeed, if other accounts are to be
trusted, preparations are making in every quar-
ter which wear a very warlike aspect. A letter.
from Caluis, written yesterday, which reached us
with the' Papers, states, " that the troops at St.
Omer and part of those at Calais, had received
order§ to march to the South." This displays
some decision or much alarm. Of the latter no
small portion was excited in the French capital,
by the statement of the Etoile, the Journal des
Mbals, and the Prapeau Blanc) that " the
Marquis de Vence had come to Paris to
make an important communication respecting
the Army of Obseevation." As, we stated
yesterday, reports were immediately spread
that disaGction had displayed itself in that army
to such an extent as to endanger the present
order of things in France. Others stated that
Mina had made a sudden attack upon the French
line, and had gained an important victory.—
These rumours seem to have gained so much
credit that is was found necessary to counteract
their effect by a prompt contradiction ; and the
offending Journals were made to declare on Tues..
day, that what they had stated the day before
was entirely false.

[THF TIMES.]
Ministers, it is said, are now wanting to recede
from and disown the pamphlet which they have
suffered for so many weeks to be circulated as
the expose of the state of the country, and of their
own forthcoming projects. It is rather unlucky
for this disavowal, that, exclusiVe of other pre-
tensions to Ministerial dictation, the pamplet
claims, in the very first page, to have been
written for the purpose of supplying the defect
of oral communications in the House of Com-
mons

" The time is approaching in which the main branches Of
our administration, financial, foreign, domestic, and colonial,
must severally pass under the ordinary annual review of Par.
liament. To arrive at a just estimate of any one of these wh-
ims, requires a closer anti nearer examination of the public
documents and official statements than can be afibrded at
the time iota rim* of their discussion. To assist in forming
the public judgment on these subjects; to produce, 'explain,
and arrange► these documents, is the purport of the following
observations. It i 4, therefore, proposed to take a review of the
actual state of effairs from January, 1822, to the year now
ennimenced."

What, then, can the disavowal mean? Has
" the Clown said more than was set down for.
him in his part ?" or has the aspect of public
feeling really produced sonic change in Counsels?

[NM TIMES.]
'the infinite succession of contradictory reports
from Paris is such as should induce every reason-
able person to hear them all with great distrust.
At one moment a levy of 300,000 men is ordered,
Mina hus attacked the French army, the Marquis
De Vence arrives with disastrous intelligence
from the Pyrennees, the Duke d'Angouleme
has set off to tread the forces, the Minister
of War is in his train, M. de Vill6lo has re-
signed, and in short the war is actually be-
gun l The next moment every word of this
ie a fable ; the Minister is in his place, the
Marquis De Vence hits not left the Pyrennees,
nor the Duke D'Angouleme quitted Paris ;. and
Mina instead of advancing against the French,
has fallen back upon Barcelona.—We must give
Me French Cabinet credit for acting with con-
sistency as welt as with.deliheration. They will
certainly not precipitate a war; hut our own
im-
pression Most certainly is, that they will not be
able to prevent it. There has been a third viola-
tion of the French territory. It will not he pos-
sible to put up with these systematic insults from
the SpaniAl Republicans much longer.

[anlTlSil toms.]
The animated Answer of the Spanish Govern-
ment to the Allies is conceived in that manly
spirit, and expressed in that determined tone,
which at mice asserts"and adorns the freedom
anti justice of their cause.• It was but the other
day that these Allied Sovereigns, who now would
fain trample on the neck of Freedom, trembled
for the safety of their own empires. The French
Revolution priidoced no doubt•in its train a vast
Mass of human suffeting, but with this, and in the
course of it, it disturbed the sleeping energies of
Ole human mind, and drew forth alt those quali-
ties of courage anti character which, while they
snake wan what he ought to be, spew h m what
he is. Freedom broke at last the links ;of that
heavy chain which had so long coiled rou nil her,
and walked abroad once more among the nations
of the earth. For a time, while these Allied
Potentates felt each for the safety of his own
dominions, they cherished the love of liberty in
their subjects, because it was necessary to take
advantage of it for their own purposes, and
-it-was only through this medium that they were
to be roused to the maintenance of " their rights,"
as they were then called, against the gigantic
strength of the one Imperial Despot who threatened
to prostrate all the thrones of Europe. It was
then that these now Holy Allies, who would
crush the independence of Spain, professed to be
anxious only to preserve to monarchy that force

which was necessary to maintain all those liber-
ties so dear to them and to their people.

_--~r`--

[MORNING 3IVRALDI
Accounts were received yesterday from Paris,
of Tuesday's date. The contents of the Journals
are such as somewhat to enliven public attention,
hut without affording any materials to lead the
public judgment. A mere assemblage of fluc-
tuating rumours—such as the resignation of M.
de Vill6le—the appointment of a new Mi-
nistry—the raising of 300,000 men—the depar-
ture of the Duke of Angouleme for the fron-
tier, with a French Marshal for his military,
Mentor—all this, which may undergo a total
change of aspect before twenty-four hours,
would form a very uncertain basis of opinion.—
One thing only may be said, that the French
Councils are in a new state of agitation, and
the public mind anxious and depressed. No
news of importance appears to have reach-
ed Paris from Madrid. The Foreign Ambits-
sadors—we mean those of Austria, Russia, and
Prussia—had left the Spanish capital, without, it
would appear by the Spanish Journals, any other
sentiment being expressed than an unconcerned,
if not contemptuous treatment of the event. It
is still doubted whether the French Minister he
recalled. We incline to the opinion of those
who deny it—not because we think his ultimate
recall improbable, but because some change in the
Ministry must precede a step so important. It
is much more natural that it should follow than
precede a change of Councils.

[MORNING cum:max..]
Considerable curiosity has been felt as to the
selection of a successor to the Honourable Percy
Jocelyn, the late Bishop of Clogher. Ministers,
it was imagined, would (for particular reasons in
this instance) have departed from their usual
practice, and named for this lucrative See some
Divine distinguished by his learning, literiiry re-
putation, theological acquirements, professional
character, or for any thing else in the world, but the
being the brother of a friendly Peer. They must
have known that the eyes of the British public were
upon them, although the promotion was to be
made in Ireland, where the most scandalous jobs
havNiitherto taken place, as a matter of course,
without observation. The case, however, is now
altered the people of England have found, to
their cost, that the patronage of Ireland is uni-
formly exercised, merely as a Parliamentary
engine, for the preservation of corrupt majori-
ties, and they have become tenderly alive to
the subject. They have therefore seen with
indignation that Ministers have had the har-
dihood to persist, on this occasion, in their abo-
minable system, and have actually filled up the
vacancy with a Lord Robert Tottenham I.—a per-
son of such 'perfect insignificance and obscurity
as to be utterly unknown, if the Red Book did
not state him to be a brother of the Marquis of
Ely, a thick and thin supporter of Government,
who had-already precured for him a less valuable
Bishoprick I This is the thousandth act of the
same kind of nn Administration, that gulls so
many weak, but well meaning persons with their
loud pretensions to a superior .regard for the
Church.
