THE LONDON' 'JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, August 11.

Lim TISU PRESS.]
Rumours of negotiation in Spain, between An-
gouleme and the Cortes, prevailed in Paris on
Friday, and gave en impulse to the French funds.
Nothing certain, however, was talked of or
known respecting these projects of the vacillating
French Cabinet. Angouleme had left the Spa-
ilish capital on the 28th, with 4,000 men,. the
principal part of the garrison of Madrid, but he
journeyed south slowly, and with the utmost
caution ; and his arrival at Seville was not ex-
pected until so late as the 19th of August. The
Duke will then be governed by events. If the
wnr flags in the interval as heavily as it now does
—Cadiz and Barcelona both holding out,` as it is
almost certain they will do, and. the Constitution.
alists still increasing their force through the two
Castiles, and in the utherproviuces, under the Em-
pecinado and other leaders—propositions, we have
no doubt, will be made to the Cortes far differ-
ent from the haughty menaces or four months
since, with an offer of the mediation and gurantee
of gnOnd, in case of the Cortes acceding to
them. Without this guarantee, solemnly pledged
and accepted, or the removal.of the French army
beyond the Pyrenees, the Cortes, we are con-
vinced, never will negociate. The last Bayonne
papers state the report that an English frigate had
arrived a t Cadiz, and that immediately after land-
ing
the Envoy on board, the Cortes assembled,
and decided that every proposal coming froin the
French should be instantly rejected, if tat ten-
dered in concert with England. The report,
however unfounded, shews, at least, the state of
public feeling on this important subject. Except
the utter withdrawing of the French Army, the
guarantee of this country is the only safe assur.
mice that the Cortes and Government could re.
ceive for their own safety and that of free-
dom in Spain. The celebrated- Empecinado
is said, in . letters from Burgos, to have en-
tered Salamanca on the 28th. This distinguished
chief keeps all that country in complete awe and
alarm. The banditti. leader, the'Cure Merino,,
had left Estiemadura, where the Constitutional
Guerillas were too numerous for him, and gone
with his paltry band to Placentia for safety.—
Thursday's Monileur contains a telegraphic dis-
patch„stating that Mulitor's advanced guard dis-
persed, on the 25th, near Guadix, all the cavalry
of Ballasteros ; that on the 27th Granada was
occupied ; and that on the 2f3th Molitor bad
completely defeated Cam pi llo—a convenient note
is subjoined,. saying night had interrupted the
dispatch. The close of the Bulletin was sobse--
qmently posted on the Bourse of Paris, stating
that tiallasteros had retreated into the mountains
of Cazorla, and that the French. General Foissac
Latour was at„Villa Cabrillo, and Loverdohad re-
turned- to Guadli, and that Ballasteros, utterly
discouraged, demapded terms of accommodation:,

.We yesterday received the French Papers- of
Friday. They contain the complete telegraphic
dispatch of which a part only had appeared in
the Papers of Thursday, and that pert not quite
correct. The advlces relate solely to the opera-
tions of Genera! Molitor against Ballasteros,,the
latter pf whom had his cavalry dispersed on the
25th ult. and was himself beaten and forced to,
seek shelter in the mountains of Cazorla on the
Sth. The dispatch concludes with, saying,
that the enemy &sires to come to terms of
accommodation ; but whether these expres-
sions are meant to apply to Ballasteros
himself, or to some of his followers, does not
clearly appear.—lt is asserted that several of
the Revolutionists at Cadiz have of late de-
serted : and that among. those who rennin there
is little union. thily one iegiment irstennch to
the cause of the Revolution , and, singularly
enough, it is the regiment called Imperial Alex-
ander ! That soma understanding is kept up
between persons in Cadiz • and the Regency Is
dear, from the regular accounts, published by
the latter, of the health of the King and Royal
Family.—Most sincerely do we trust, that this
may leed to an accommodation consistent with
the hest intvrests of Spain !'

[mottNtrtia - cnitorriCr.e.)
A French Officer beloeging to that part.. of the.
army which. occupies Valencia, has written ,to
osie of his friends at Paris ;-.." We have reached
this town without meeting the enemy, and with-
out knowing what we are to do. At our ap-
proach all the. persons who have filled public
situations under the Constitutional regime, the
militia, anti' all those who have distinguished
themselves by their 'patriotic opinions, departed
from the town,in which we found hardly any per-
sons but monks and beggars. The few families
of distinction Who remained, lead a very retired life,
and will not receive our visits, though at present
they have relaxed their rigour a little, since they
have discovered that the French Officers do pot
give any trouble Many oue,.and they censure even
more severely perhaps than the inhabitants, the in.
justice and absurdity of the war they are obliged to
carey on. General Molitor has conducted him.

our arrival, u long list was presented to him of

selves to the vengeaute and recriminations of the
sating party. Valencia is a beautiful citys in the
middle 'of a film country, which is constantly
cultivated.. The inhabitants of the immense plain
called La Henna are of Arabic origin, and
preserve in part the • customs of their
an-
cestors. They. nourish a strong hatred Of
the. French, against whom they carried on
a severe war in the first invasion of the Penin-
sula, If they have not taken up arms against us
on the present occasion, it is because the Priests

Came to defend the Catholic religion, about to be ,
abolished by the Cortes. There can be nothing
more barbarous and disgusting than the lower
orders of 'the Clergy in Valencia. Priests are
seen smoking and getting drunk in the coffee-
houses and cabarets, with the most indecent
females,and the most rude and brutal men. Some
of these Ministers of Religion carry on smuggling
openly, and travel on the high roads armed like
robbers. 'rho neighbourhood of Valencia is full
of Guerillas, so that we are obliged to shut our-
selves up in the town, and we do not even send
a reconnoitering party outside of the walls. It is
said that we are to leave, however, in pursuit of
Ballasteros ; and we are flattered with the hopes
of seeing Grenada, which is described to us as
an earthly paradise. At the same time the whole
army is well acquainted with the miseries we may
expect to encounter, and the troops have no other
wish than to return to France."

[MORNING lIERALD,]
Paris Journals to the Bth have been received
since our last.. The accounts in them from Ga-
licia are not so recent as those which have been
brought by the Royal George packet, and which
have already appeared in our Paper. There are
various accounts and rumours respecting Banns-
teros. A telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne
announces that his cavalry was dispersed on the
25th by the van-guard of Molitor; and other
accounts allege that he had retired with the in-
fantry into the mountains. A second version re-
specting this General, on the French 'Change, was
that he had concluded an armistice with the
French General, and was on the eve of playing
the part of Morillo and Abisbal. It would be
rash to decide either way, without better, inform.
ation. It is very possible that, notwithstanding
these rumours, his military position may be still
goodf and his honour unstained. But whatever
be the face of the campaign in Andalusia and
Galicia, there can be no question that the situa-
tion of the French Army is most critical in
Catalouia. The corps &armee of Marshal
Moncey, harassed by fatiguing marches and con-
tinued, though not very bard, fighting, is now suf-
fering under the additional evil influence of heat
and sickness. The siege of Barcelona is in
effect abandoned. The quarters of the Marshal
were again at Mataro, where he had been more
than a month since ; and the establishment
for the civil administration of the army was
carried back to Girona, which the French
occupied more than two months back. More-
over the army is divided by feuds between the
Marshal and some of the Generals under him.—
We alluded, some days since, to the severe ani-
madversions in the Paris Ultra Papers upon
Moncey, and, the eulogies upon Gen. Donnadieu,
at his expence. It appears that the receipt of
the Journals containing these observations ex 4
cited a ferment through the army of Catalonia.
All the Colonels, and ahnost all the Generalsy
it ie said,. supported the Marshal, and protested
against the comments of tke Parisian Journalists.
Moncey thanked them, and sentoff a remonstrance
on the subject, which had reached Paris, but upon
which no step had yet been taken by the Minis-
try. rt is a striking proof how ridden the French
Ministry—or, at least, the moderate part of it—
is, when it dares not controul such glaring licen-
tiousness in the journals of the fanatical party, or
remove Donnadieu, the prime mover, from his
command, though with an equally absolute
power to do both.

[D101#1411.14 POST.]
French Papers to the 9th inst. reached us lastl
night by Express. They are still silent respect-
.l
ing the fall of Corunna, which would not be the
case had that city surrendered soon after the►
departure of the Royal George : for there would
have been ample time for a telegraphic dispatch

the importance which is attached to the re.
doction of that place on account of the be.
lief now prevalent in France that all the attacks
made upon it had been repulsed, Would insure
the instant publication of such welcome intelli-
gence. Molitor, it will be seen by our extracts
in a former column, claims a victory over the
army of Ballasteros in the vicinity of Granada,
which heboasts of having occupied before the ac-
tion. This statement being given in a telegraphic
dispatch, is necessarily very brief, and leaves it to
be explained how Ballasteros, who had been re.
presented by former official reports as at a consider.

near that City to receive a beating from the enemy,

Cadiz.

[THE Timm]
We have already brought under the notice of
our readers a certain class of proceedings at the
several Assizes throughout Ireland during the
present Circuit. These proceedings have derived
their interest from the light which they throw
upon the state of the country., under one of its
most important aspects—viz. the relation, past
and present, between the Irish Magistrates and
the People. Several of the County Magistrates
have recently had actions brought against
them for injustice towards individuals of in-
ferior stations—nt every instance have been
visited with severe 'damages, and held up by
the Judges to reproach. Two circumstances
here are worthy of remark; and indeed the first
is the direct consequence of the second—viz.,
that the offence is at long standing, and the re-

medy altogether of ni9tiern'tiate, having been re=
sorted tnprely (at least with.success) before the.
period at which we are writing. The lands of
Ireland bad been confiscated and divided, above
a century and a half since, among bodies of mili-
tary adventurers front England. The pride of
conqUest, the despotic habitS of military life—
the consciousness of oppression—and the secret
fear of re-action on t'he part of the oppressed, had
tinged the whole race of new proprietors with
feelings and manners towards the conquered
people not favourable td a speedy amalgamation
between them. Difference of religion and other
causes, aggravated the above serious evil. r Out
of the conquering soldiers, and their children and
descendants, the Magistrates of Ireland, and in a'
great degree the juries, have been chosen ; and if
the laws were rigorous in their principle, the
spirit in which they have been administered
far outstripped it. The effect of these remote
causes and long habits has been manifest to
every observant stranger who visited Ireland in.
our own day. The law has been laughed at
by the rich man, or perverted to his selfish
purposes. By the poor it has been despaired
of as a remedy, or only felt as a scourge ; and
with a deep sense of injustice, the Irish peasant
has felt from his cradle, that to his own violence
he must look for the redress of his wrongs. Such,
we are afraid, has been a too faithful picture of the
leading grievance of that unhappy country down to
the present hour. It is,at the same time prudent, as
well as just, to draw the public attention to every
change,or chance of change,iu the operation of pub-
lie disorders. The Insurrection Act, which con-
ferred so many new powers on Magistrates har-
dened by indulgence and impunity, has (curiously
as well as providentially) supplied, together
with the temptation to abuse, the happiest illus.
*alien of that whole system of abuses which a
large portion of the country gentletuen who
called for it were plainly interested to uphold.--
All the Magistrates who have been sued and
mulcted for false iMprisonment at these SummerAs-
, sizes, employed the Insurrection Act as the engine;
!and the pretext for their outrages on personal
liberty. Mr. Boyce, of the county of Water-'
ford—Doctor and Justice Dempster, at Nenagh
—and Mr. Falkiner, whose conduct we report-
ed on Saturday, and who had a verdict of
1501. against him for imprisoning a respectable
individual, of Birr, because he would not take
otr his hat to' him these culprits used the
Insurrection Act as a means of overthrowing
every other law in the country, and with the
certain result of inflaming the people of Ire..
land to madness, if the new spirit, perhaps in-
stilled by the Government, but most fortunately'
(and for the first time) conveyed from the Bench
to Juries% had not applied the best medica-
ment,—namely, redress by the law itself Against
its unworthy Ministers. The immediate, benefit
to which we look forward from such
ierks' of proceedings in Ireland, is tlie,
donment of that excrescence upon the Constitu.
don, the Insurrection ACt ; and, what§ better'
still, the removal of all pretenCefor auiy likOlUstr4,
ment of 'oppression. 'lf the people Trod that they
can be shielded from injustice by the Orprfaryi
course of law--that the Government is eartuala
the use of its influence with the higher class of
functionaries—these, again, active in admiiniShini
the juries, and the juries roused to a consciousness,
that they have to decide, not between a gentleman
and a peasant,but between `niartrield man—the Com-
mon law of the laud will' become more powerful
to protect as well as to restrain the Irish, than
w hole statute-books of insurrection acts and le-
gions of troops. This is, on the face of it, a new
era in the country.
