On Saturday letters were received from the Ha'

receipt of advices from Mexico to -the 2gth Nov.
We are sorry to learn that the insurgents have de'
rived a considerable accession of strength from the
standard of revolt being hoisted in the Northern
Provinces, and fronl Vome cht‘•cks which the forces of
Government had met with: From a Proclamatiorl
issued by the Viceroy, It appears that they have pb
tained supplies of _arms ;and ammunition from the
United States; and' some of their !cadets ate ever)
said to be natives of that . couirry. It is probable,
that hostilities between the two countries woula
fallow a war between Great Britain .and the United
States. In complianie;w,th the urg,ent requests of
the Viceroy-, vessels were fitting. up at the Havai"
nab to convey a,body of troops from thence to „Me.(-
.ico. The distress and thisety to "u hich many 'O-f the
inhabitants ate reduced may besconceived from the
following extract of a letter :—" The regular hoof's
no sooner enter a-distriti which.. has •been &elate('
in a stale'of revolt, than they punish the inhabltants
by fines, "Sze. On their departure to atiotler flog"
ter, or on their force being sensibly weakentd, o'4
insurgents return, and insisltpon lice qu triers, ley!
a contribution, and thus finish tl.e ruin which thelt
eftecesqws had commenced."

On Saturday were received Jatna'ca Journals '3
the 26th 'December. An article in the Royal Ga-

to Martha, who are in favour of the Cortex, hr:ve de-
cored war against Carthagena, and that several 1)11'
tl es had been fought on the river Magdalena, (43
both sides of which fortifications had been CO
stru6ted. Much blood had -not been shed, but 1116
contending panics had been alternately successful'
The inhabitants of Carthagena have declared theme'
selves independent, and abolished the Inquisition.'
The Officers, both civil and military, have taken tha
oaths prescribed. The Viceroy of Santa Fe, non*
nated by the Cortes, was momentarily expe6ted

SINGIAAR ROBBERY.—For some time past it .I 19

hire of Messrs. Crosweller and Co. a box under tl'o`'
seat of one of their London coaches, in order t
transmit cash with greater 'security, to and 11°114
their bankers in London. To each of these boxe4
there were two keys, for the respective conveniertois
of the parties in town and country ; on Wedoesd3;
last, notes belonging_to the above bank, to till
amount of bet Ween 3•and 4,0001. which had be°
cashed at the bank of Messrs. Weston, Pinball',
'
and Co. in the Borough, were deposited, as usual;
to be returned to the bank at Brighton.- On t'
arrival of the coach in that town, Mr. Pocock, cLere
to the Union Bank, attended, as usual, to u11'715
the seat, and take out the cash box, _when it o'ci
discovered that it had been broke open, and robbed
of the whole of its contents. The coathman `3ll
immediately applied,to, who gave the following Or'
ticulars :—Six perlons were hooked for insideOe'L.
two only of whom appeared at the time of
coach starting, "ii. a gentleman, and a lady, dreoei
in the first style of fihion, who seemed to be 11131
and wife ;. two gentleman were taken up at a
--distance on-the road, and-the others never appearet
at all. When the coach reached Sutton, abiAli
miles front town, the lady was suddenly taken "ft
and obliged 16 alight at the inn, Where she was I`,
with here stip'po,ed lea.band. At this time, a
Ir
seuger from the top of the coach got inside. Y
the arrival of the coach at the inn at Reigate, teas
two gentlemen who Were inside left it; in order
they said, to inquire after a friend, but they speed 110
returned, and said, they had ascertained that "),
GentlemanWhotn they had supposed was at Brigd;
ton, had returned to town, it was therefore useless
to proceed : on this they settled their fare and vieljt
ri
away. From the above statement, it clearly aePe.3j e
that the robbery was' committed by the four insi
passengers, between London and Sutton, as the Pei.'

well known to be a respectable man.—A reward °f
Six hundred pourlds, has been offered for a, Pre'

less extensive than formerly; but we know not
what merit they can claim on this head, since, from
the number of military quartered in the leighbour-

LAW REPORT.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, F. 8.

SIR FRANCIS BURDETT V. THE SPEAKER OF THE

HOUSE OF COMMONS

This imporfant question carne on to be argued by
Writ of Error, from the King's Bench, before the
Barons of the Exchequer, the Chief Justice of .the
Common Pleas, and Mr. Justice Heath, Sir S. Law-
rence, and Sir A. Chambre, being prevented by ill
health from giving their 'attendance.
Mni CLIFFORD argued the case on the part of the
Hon. Bart. contending, that however competent the
power of the House of Commons might be to main—
tain its privileges in the House, it had no right to exer-
cise those means of enforcing hem out of the House,
which the Law and the Constitution had denied
them. The power be meant, was the military
force employed on the occasion, which was the
subject of the present action. If such a prin,
ciple were to be admitted,- he contended that the
House of Commons would have as much right to..
command the regular standing army or the country,
as the ,Monarch himself. But he maintained the
contrary of that proposition, by asserting, that
had the Commander in Chief thought proper
to refuse the aid of the soldiery to enforce the
Speaker's warrant, he would not have been guilty
Of a breach ofi the privileges of the House.—
But in order to support the legality of the
measure resorted to by the Commons, they were
bound to shew, that the Commander in Chief
world have been guilty of violating its privileges by
so refusing. He was free to admit the House had
authority to m.3intain- its privileges against any in-
terruption to the just exercise of its Irgislati,,e deli-
beration ; but he denied that they had a tight to en-
force its authority by any other means than the Law
and the Constitution had recognised in them, name-
ly, their Serjeant at Arms and their IVlsssengers.
In no instance had military force been used, either,
before or since the time of the Long Parliament, to
enforce its privileges, except on the present occa-,
-sion ; and he pu' it to the wisdom of the Cirt,
whether they would. recognise such a lawless pre-
cedent as that to which he alluded. or whether they
wwild come to a decision in his client's case. He
contended, that the cases which were, most relied
epon on the ollfer side were such as ought'to have
n.-,.:eight at the present day, because they were
decided in tim:'s, either of party heat, or enforced
from tear of personal consequences, to the Judges
who decided them.
Mr. RICHARDSON, with great learning and ability,
took pretty much the same ground of argument, as
that taken by the Attorney Genet al, when the sub-
je& was discussed in the Court of King's Bench,
contending, that as it was admitted the House of
Commons was a Court of competent jurisdiction, it
ought to have the power of enlacing its authority,
when treated with contempt. In this case, he con-
tended, that the objection to the military force,
ployed, was without foundation, because they were
to he considered in the same light as constables or
citizens.

Sir J. MANSFIELD was decidedly.of opinion that
there was nodmw in the ohjeetion of Mr. Clifford,
to this last part of the question, and said it was the
same whether soldiets of sailors were employed, if

the right of the Commons to enforce their ivileges
was made out. ..

Further argument postponed to' the 22J of Apri'

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB: 8.

THE KING V. THE BISHOP ()I, LONDON AND ARCH

BIiHUP 01, CANTERBURY.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH, after stating that lie had
availed himself Of th;, oppoitunity which the inter-
val ince yesterday afforded, to read o' rr the various
affidavits in this case, proceeded todeliker the opi-
nion of the Court, It was to be observed,' that
the duiduti or the Court to interfere in such'a case
as the present, was to be construed by reference
to the Act of the'thee 13th and 14th of Charles 11.

by which it was declared, that no person should be
permitted to ati as a Lecturer or Preacher, unless
he were first approved, and thereto licensed, by the
Archbishop of the province, or Bishop of the, diocese.
The question, then, was, what was this approval,
required by the Statute ? It 'was cleat ly a condi-
tional precedent, without which the Bishop or 410-
bishop could not be called on to grant his licnse.
If the Court saw that, in the' present case, the
Bishop had not' lain himself out to acquire the
means of a deliberate approval of DO6tor Povah,
if he should find him to be a fit person to be licensed
a Friday Morning Letlurer of the Church in ques-
tion, that might be sufficient cau,e fur the Court to
interfere. But it appeared, on the contrary, that the
Bishop had used all due, reasonable, and proper
means to enable him to come to a deliberate and fair
tiecision on this point. The affidavits of the Bishop
himself bore; that, after every due deliberation, he
had come to a conscientious opinion sand conviction,
that he could not, consistently with his duty, approve
of Dr. Povah, as, a.fit and proper person to be the

. . .
Friday Morning Leatirer of the church of St. Bar-
tholomew, and that from this, and from no other
motive, had he refused him a Lcense as such Lee-,
turer. lithe Bishop had Made a return of this kind
to the mandamus, on the idea the Court had granted
it, would not such return h t‘e been sittisfatiory.—

The Court had never been desired to at upon, nor
had ever thought-of .a wing on, the conscience
of the Bishop.
Unless, therefore, the Cotirt could repeal the
law, and take from the Bishop the power of ap-
proval reposed in him, They could not grant the pre-
sent application. His Lordship agreed that there
was a duty to be perfotmed 'both by the Archbishop
and the Bishop. Ot what nature this duty was, he
should not at present consider. That the Records of
the Archbishop's Court furnished no instance of au
• application to the Archbishop as within his province,
but only within his Diocese, did not approve that
no such application lay, but only that none so h had
been made. If any application, however, were here
to be made to the Archbishop, his Lordship
it would be a substantive application. The Rule
must be discharged as to both.
The ATTOR:igY GENERAL hope.] that as to the
Bishop of London, the ILtie might bia. discharged
with costs.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, this was probably the
`first case on this particular point, and therefore, the
Court was of opinion, no costs ought to be given ;
"but if any similar case should 'be (Odd, they would
theta do what was right.
