LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 11.
DE LA TOlllll4 v. DERNAL'ES.
In this case, which has been before the Court in various
forms since the year 101 U, the plaintiff's Counsel contended to.
day that the plea of the defendant, alleging that he was the
functionary of the King of Spain in his political capacity, and
therefore not amenable to the jurisdiction of this Court, was
over-ruled by his original answer, in which he denied that he
was agent to the King of Spain.
It was insisted on the other side, that the plea was quite con-
sistent with the answer; as the former only admitted that the
defendant was the agent for the King of Spain to receive cer,
rain duties due to biro, and for other public purposes, but the
latter denied that be was his agent for the purpose of paying
his debts.

The Loan CHANCELLOR observed, that it would be unfor.
tunate if the point of pleading involved in this case were to re.
main unsettled. lie would take an immediate opportunity of
conversing with Lord Itedesdale, to ham from him on what
authority he had laid down the position cited by Counsel front
his book ; and then he (the Lord Chancellor) would look into
the pleadings, and see how far that doctrine applied to the pre,
sent case.

GREEK SONG.—THE VOICE OF SCIO.
( From the New Monthly Maga,zine.
A voice from Scio's Isle,
A voice of song, a voice of old,
Swept far as cloud or billow roll'd,
And earth was hush'd the while.
The souls of nations woke !
Where lies the land whose hills among
That voice of victory bath not rung,
As if a trumpet spoke ?
To sky, and sea, and shore,
Of those whose blood, on Ilion's plain,
Flowed from the rivers to the main,
A glorious tale it bore !
Still by our sun-bright deep,
With all the fame that fiery Lay
Threw round them in its rushing way,
The sons of battle sleep.
And kings their turf have crown'd !
And pilgrims o'er the foaming wave
Brought garlands there; so rest the brave,
Who thus their bard have found !
A voice from Scio's Isle, .
A voice as deep bath risen again !
As far shall peal its thrilling strain,
Where'er our sun may smile,!
Let not its tones expire !
Such poser to waken earth and heaven,
And might and vengeance, ne'cr was given
To mortal song or lyre.
Know ye not whence it comes ?
—nom ruined hearths, from burning fangs,
From kindred blood on yon.red plains,
Front desolated homes !
'Tis with us through the night !
Ms on our hills, 'tis in our sky-
-Hear it, thou Heaven ! when swords flash nigh,
O'er the mid waves of fight.

SUPPLY.

The Order of the Day was read for the House going into a
Committee of Supply ; and the House being in a Committee,
Mr. GOULIIITIIN moved a vote for 17,0001., in aid of the
Charter Schools of Ireland.
Mr. HUME complained, that several Returns for which lie
had moved respecting the state of Ireland had been made, al-
though he conceived. there had been ample time for that pur-
pose. tic wishedito know whether any reduction in the ex-
penditure of that country was intended by his Majesty's Go-
vernment, as it appeared to have increased every year since
the Union. He thought that Parliamentary interference with
-charitable institutions seldom did goad, as the money applied
to their assistance was generally expended on objects foreign
from the original purpose. IVidi regard to the specific vote
• before the Cormittee, he dissented from it altogether, as it
was confined to the education of Protestant children. He fully
appreciated the advantages of 'education among the poorer
classes, but he wished the system of education to he uniform.
He saw no reason for confining it to Protestants, seeing that a
majority of Midis oro.7ths of the people of Ireland were Ca-
tholics. He much wished -to see exclusive establishments for
education entirely put down, and the money applied to general
objecn‘ He did not object to the stint in question, or an sum
for a general purpose,. but he did object to the sum of 17,0001.
' foi the education of Protestants exclusively. He should there-
fore move that this vote be reduced to 10,000/. though he would
have no objection to a vote for the other 7,0001. to give Catholic
-children the benefit of education.
Mr. 001MBURN said, the arguments of the Hon. Mem-
ber had all been urged and answered on former occasions. The
establishment in question was not confined to ',purposes of edu-
' cation. They were principally charitable purposes, and he
could not admit that because education was introduced inci-
dentally, and that education was in conformity with the Protes-
tant religion, that it was therefore objectionable on that ground.
Food and clothing were the principal objects of these institu-
tions; and their fund had alreadybeen much contracted. Ile con-
tended, that where there were such institutions already founded,
they ought to be assisted by Parliament. Many reductions had
been made since laSt year in the different branches of- expendi-
- tore referred to by the present vote. -
Sir J. NEwrata was of opinion, that if the funds appro-
priated to different charities now scattered in various directions
were taken into the-hands of 'Government, and consolidated,
fiar the purpose of forming one central school, touch benefit
would result from the arrangement. Divided and subdivided
aq the sehoobt Were at present, with masters to superintend
each separate establishment, the most extravagant expenditure

SOLI N QUIS DICERE F.ILSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1823.

We have received the following important in-
telligence from Paris, proving, not only that
the French Army passed the Bidassoa on the
7th, but that on the preceding day, a part
of the French troops were for the first time
engaged with a small corps of the French and
Italian refugees who have taken up arms, in
the cause of the Spaniards. Though this body
of the foreign auxi*iaries was of course defeated
and dispersed, it augurs well for Spain that they
even ventured to place themselves, unsupported
as they were, in contact with the French
lines. From the conduct of the French soldiers
in the affair, and the manner in which the
passage of the Bidassoa seems to have been
effected, there appears to be no reason to expect
any immediate or extensive symptoms of defec-
tion in the invading army. The new War Mi-
nister, however, still harps upon the continued
attempts to corrupt the fidelity of the troops,
which he would scarcely have adverted to at the
moment of triumph, if they were not of such a

Mr. W. HORTON statedl that the Commissioners now in
the West Indies had instructions, when their present labium
should be brought to a conclusion, to proceed to the isle of

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

The following Letter, which lately appeared iu
The Bury Gazette, presents a more distinct de-
velopement of THE PITT SYSTEM than we are
accustomed to hear even from those who exert
their eloquence in support of the political prin-
ciples of our late wise and upright Minister, but
who do not distinctly and accurately state their
conception of the nature, substance, and ten-
dency of those principles. The Earl of HARE..
W,OOD, at the last anniversary Festival in honour
of the birth-day of the great departed Statesman,
at 'Merchant Taylore.liall, gave a succinct but
clear and emphatic exposition of what he con-
ceived to -be the true principles of Mr. PITT. As
this nobleman is distinguished for a sound under-
standing, and may be justly considered as a
genuine, independent Statesman, above all Minis-
terial allurements, his opinions are entitled to
respect and confidence. We wish, therefore,
that he could be induced, to take some opportu-
njty of communicating his sentiments on this sub-
ject to the public at large. We heard his speech
with great pleasure, and regretted that, being
delivered late in the evening, he could not well
detail his opinions at a convivial moment, but we
may venture to say, that what the Noble Lord
did utter, so far as it went, gave a distinct and
striking form to the PITT SYSTEM, and might, if
expanded, constitute a sound POLITICAL CREED
for every real friend to the Constitution in Church
and State.

a standard, two cannon, three store waggons, a
quantity of baggage, and a chest, containing
17,000 francs, also fell into the hands of the

The Jourual des Debuts announces that the
Spanish Regency, established by the Duke

cree of the Cortes which had reduced the Tithes
one half, and has restored them to their full
amount. 'rho same Regency have notified their

levy upon the revenues of the Clergy a subsidy
of only ten millions of reals, instead of the thirty
which they have contributed to the expences of
the State during the last six years.

The REMENIDRANCER read the different clauses or the

Committee of the House of Commons.
Mr. l)sxoN inquired of Mr. Montague, the city architect,
whether, if a bridge were built of the dimensions specified in
the Bill, with die necessary approaches, &e. it would cost less
than a million of money
Mr. Mox rAtm E. said he had calculated it at fr2fi,oool. ; but
considering the small difference between the two sums, perhaps
it would be prudent to put it down as a million, In reply t,
some questions from Mr. Jones, Mr. Montirgue said, that frout
the suns he had stated, tio,ooo/. was to b.! deducted, as the
amount of the duty on stone, and of the sums necessary for
securing the other bridges.

that the negociators on the part of England had neglected, by
declarations and remonstrancet syfficiently distinct and tine;
qUlVocal, to manifest the disapprobation of the'couritry on the
projected invasion of an independent State, and on the assump-
tion of a right to interfere withits internal regulations. This
assertion, we suppose, will never be repeated._ We quote the
language of Lord Castlereagh, addrsssed to the four Courts of
,France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, so long ago as the year
1820, when the recent change of affairs in Spain, and the un-
confirmed and unsettled state of her institutions, became first a
subject of anxiety to the other European Powers. Speaking
then of the alliance of the four great Powers, he says—" It never
Was intended as an union for the government of the world, or
for the "superintendence of the internal affairs of other nations."
—And again, in,the same Paper, adverting to the supposed
danger of revolutionary example, he declares that England
"-cannot, and will not, act upon . abstract and speculative
principle of precaution. The alliance," he goes on to say,
" which exists, had no such purpose in view in its original
formation. It was never so explained to Paliament ; if it
had, most assuredly, the sanction of Parliament would never
have been given to it." We cannot read these paragraphs.of
a State Paper now first brought to light without an offering of
ipontaneous homage to the memory of its author—a States-
man, who, at the very moment when he was holdinge.this
dignified and constitutional language to Foreign States, was
at home loudly and grossly reproached as one who favoured
the views and practices of despotism and oppression.—
Lamented Castlereagh ! Well mightest thou endure with
equanimity the taunts 9r invectives of party malice, conscious,
that in the archives of the State there existed monuments like
these of .thy genuine love of freedom, of thy regulated devo-
tion to the great cause of human happiness, of tht generous
advocacy of the rights of national independence ! This lan-
guage could havisuggested itself to no man whose mind was
not imbued with consititutional principles, and whose heart
did not overflow with the feelings of a patriot. Here is no as-
sumption of supreme power for the Executive Government ;
thepther members of this great and powerful alliance are told
that the English Parliament would have withheld its sanction
From any alliance that involved a prospective violation of the
rights of independent nations. -Is there any other language of
remonstrance—is there any other form of protest which the
imagination can devise, -or which words can convey, so de-
cided as this ?

(OFFICTAL.)-FROM THE' ARMY OF THE Pl'.
RE{4'EES, 4TH CORPS.

11y Lonn—Yesterday, at live o'clock ;n the
morning, I learnt that the reconnoitcriie hick
took place in the night by Gen. Romago,a, by
Relver, on Martinet and Santa Lugina, having
found_ in all directions the enemy, the General
retired on Isobals, leaving three companies
at 'kilter. At eight o'clock I received in-
formation that the enemy were not in force,
and that General Romagosa was marching on
Belver. At 9 o'clock, the equipages of the Spanish
Royalists arrived at Isobals. At 10 o'clock Ge.
ne'ral Romagosa and his troops were at Puycerda.
The three companies which were detached did
not arrive from the mountains till several
hours after. Before 11 o'clock the enemy
appeared in force in the direction 'of Belver and
d'Alp. I immediately dispatched orders to the
two-companies of voltigeurs of the 60th of the
line, stationed at Solldagousse,
to advance, and
to keep open the communication with me. The
nature of the ground masked the movement of
the enemy's column. I compute his force to be
about 2000 men and SO horse. Having received
accounts from Puyeerda, that the Constitu-

5

I

tionalists, who reinalued in a masked position,
a little on the right before Belver, were march-
ing in force on that town, I immediately halted'
and reconnoitered that columns which amounted
to about 1000 men and 20 cavalry ; the result
was, we obliged the enemy to pass the &Ire. If
I had had with me a squadron of cavalry I should
have captured that column; I entered Puycerda at
o'clock in the evening.

HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAr, JUNE 10.
Mr. IlnounEw, accompanied by several other Members of
the House of Commons, brought up the Scotch Linen Manufac-
tures Bill, and several private Bills.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved that the Scotch Manu-
factures Bill be referred to a Select Connnittee.—Agreed to.
The Duke of ATHOLL presented a petition from certain
Manufacturers of Perth against the Scotch Linen Manufactures
Bill.

Lord ROSSLYN presented peveral petitions from Flax-
dressers of Dundee, and other places in Scotland, against the
same Bill.—The petitions were ordered to lie on the table.
On the motion of Lord SIDUOUTir, the Prison Discipline
Bill was ordered to be printed, and afterwards to be referred to
a Committee of the whole House.

STATE OF IRELAND.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN, seeing the Noble Earl at
the head of his Majesty's Government in his place, begged to
recall to his recollection some questions which he had put to
him respecting any recent information on the state of Ireland.
As the Insurrection Bill tvottlei probably soon be brought be.
.fore► their Lordships; he wished to be informed whether theta
was any objection to putting the House into possession of every
information relative to the state of Ireland. _ .

The Earl of LIVERPOOL was not aware of any objection
to putting the House in possession of the information to which
the Noble Marquis alluded, but he would again mention the
subject on the next meeting of the House.
The Marquis of LA NSDOWN then gave notice of a mo-
tion by a Noble Friend of his (the Duke of Devonshire) on
Thursday se'nnight, on the subject to which the papers referred.
