was arrived, it was said, with the orders of
Ring- Ferdinand. Resistance in Spain, for the
present, seems useless.; it was therefore to
be desired • that this place submitted, if on
terms, of safety to the lives of the garrison
and people. It is in Catalonia only that the
Constitutionalists made any resistance worthy of
themi,and there, it is likely, the vengeance of
YerilEriAnd will be most freely indulged. The
minor fortresses were also either taken,or on the
eve of submission. That of Ciudad Rodrigo has
already been announced. Later accounts state
that Lerida and the See d'Urgel had made their
submission, and that Bostalrich was about to ca-
pitulate. These were the chief places in Cata-
lonia still occupied by the Spaniards. The
Paris. Journals make no mention of Mina or of
his Lieutenants. General Rotten had still the
chief command in Barcelona. King Ferdinand has
hitherto' been more occupied in the distribution
of punishments than of rewards. Indeed he has
by a Sweeping decree proscribed whole masses of
the Spanish people. The sentences of proscrip-
tion against persons by name is also very nu-
merous--comprising not merely Constitutionalists,
but 'the more temporising Serriles ; among whom
some. Grandees, who signed the memorable ad-
dress. EVen the Chiefs of the Faith have as yet
received no distinctions, but it is rumoured. that
honours will soon be showered on them.

[MORNING Parr.]
French Papers to the 27th instant reached us
iast night by express. If• the intelligence which
they contain be correct to its full extent, the
campaign may be regarded as closed in the Pen-
insula. Insulated points may continue to defend
themselves and Guerrillas to scour the coun-
try, but all regular warfare seems to be at an
end. The forts of, the Sets d'Urgel were aim-
pelted to surrender on the 19th instant, after
having borne a tremendous fire for several
days. A practicable breach bad been effect-
ed, and even if the garrison had repelled the
assault which was on the eve of taking place, it
could not hope to resist a second, as there was no-
possibility of obtaining relief, and without the
addition of fresh numbers the loss attending each
repulse of the enemy must have led to the ulti-
mate submission of the gallant defenders. A
still more, important event is the arrangement or
capitulation entered into by the Governor of
Lerida, by which he engaged to surrender
that town on the .30th of the present month.—
Lerida had been lately reinforced by the bravo
hut unfortunate San 'Miguel, who had left all
his infantry, amounting to 3000 men, in that
town, when he undertook with his cavalry that
hazardous movement beyond the Segre, which
cost him his liberty, and it is reported, his life.

OLD BAILEY.

—Le .tes.
Ministers held on Saturday did, not break up till
four o'clock, their determination did not ge-
nerally traespire till. after the operations
of -tile moral market had closed, and no
effect resulting from it is therefore apparent
on the Paris quotations; but several capitalists
obtained infermation of what passed bent to
their correspondents here to make purchases of
Spanish stock, which rose in consequence more
than two per cent. Whatever temporary• effect
may be produced by the new hope this expected
interference has given rise to, it is certain that a
shock has been given to Spanish credit, by the
decree issued by Ferdinand at Port St. Mary's,
from which it will not, speedily, recover ; and
even if the decree is partially reseinded,, future
monet-lenders will, in prudence, ask themselves
the question—What safety for the employment of
capital is afforded by a country so impoverished,
and so destitute of future resources, as Spain. An-
other carious topic is brought forward in the letters
from Peris,—we mean the course likely to be pur-
sued with regard to the late trans-Atlantic pos-
sessiore, of Spain, and it is asserted, that after
much deliberation, the project of re-conquering
them by forte of arms has been finally abandoned.
What depends on human resolution is of course
liable to change; and this project may, therefore,
under more encouraging prospects, be revived ;
but that 'the► present has been the decision of the
Prawera concerned, we are led to conclude with a
consirlerabk degree of confidence. It has nut,

expedient to satisfithewounded pride of Ferdinand`
who is to be allowed, with the generalxottaent of
Europe, a fit,coetiolatien for such A mind, --to
retain the empty title of King of " the two Spaina
and the Indies. An attempt will also be made,
through the medium of negociation, to induce the
colonies to pay a large annual sum to Spain, as a
return for abstaining from all hostile attacks,
and some commercial privileges are to be se-
cured for Spanish subjects; among, which are
mentioned an ,exemption from the tonnage-duty
ao'shippinf;. it is also said that it 'will be sti-
pulated for in any general arrangement that may
be entered into with the late trans-Atlantic pos-
sessions of Spain, that no commercial advantages
shall be conceded except to the mother country,
and that allf other nations shall be on a perfectly
equal footing. All resolutions, however, except
that for abstaining from invasion, inasmuch as they
depend on the consent of the Colonies, are plain.
ly nugatory.

contradictory rumours are circulated. Whilst
the Mode says that it was disbanded with-
out any opposition, other. Journals assert
that it was in full march towards Granada " to
carry off its late Commander (Ballasteros), who,
according to the Revolutionists, was -confined
within the ancient dungeons of the Inquisition in
that city." Two regiments of cavalry and two
of infantry were said to have received orders to
reinforce the division of General Latour Foissac,
who was preparing to oppose the insurgents. it

upon them during the contest by the activity of
Spanish privateers.

their claim on him WAS reduceu, uy various paymente; to •t‘
11,0001. Their younger brother. ho_weiVer, Mr. Francis Henry
Mitchell, was a creditor of Mr. Wildman' to the extent of
20,0001., and was under acceptances. for him to the aininuit of
22,0001. more. Under these circumstances Messrs. Mitchell
agreed to advance the 20,0001.; 'taking' an assignment of the
securities -In question, which was accordingly executed On the
4th of October, 1820. The assignees new sought to recover
these securities on the ground that the deed was a voluntary
preference of the defendant, to his-own creditors, and was made
in contemplation of bankruptcy.
In order to whew that at the time when the deed was executed
Mr. Wildnian knew.that be was insolvent, *widener, at consi-
derable length was adduced as to the gate of his affairs at that
period. It was necessary, however, in order to maintain the
title of the assigneeito sue, to 'prove the commission of an act
of bankruptcy, and forthLs purpoai they relied on the deed it.
gaff, which, If it were a voluntary preference, would amount to
AP An of bankruptcy. To give It this effect, Mr. SCARLXTT,
for the plaintiffs, referred to the examination of Mr. Mitchell
before the Commissioners, in which lie did not allege that he
had pressed Mr. Wildman for this deed as a security for the
repayment Of the 20,080/.
Mr. SOLlcyron'..OkeitnAl., tor the 'defendants, contended,
that the first step in the cause,' the act of bankruptcy, was not
preyed,- because the plaintiffa had entirely failed to show that
the deed was a voluntary preference. At the examination of
Mr. Mitchell, he' was never asked the question whether the deed
WAS execntedln pursuance of the agreement for the advance of,
20,000/. ; and if it had been asked, the dispute would have
been settled et once by his reply. Those who knew how such
examinations were cOndected would not be surprised that Mr.
Mitchell had not volunteered that statetnent which he was able
to give ; his honour and veracity were above question and
'there was nothing in this transaction which could, for a me-
went,
impeach them.
The Loan CHIEAP JUSTICE was strongly expressing his
opinion, that the evidence did not support' a case of voluntary
preference, when Mr, SCAlttrrT rose and elected to be non-
suited, observing there could be no imputation on Mr. Mitchellie
character.
The plaintiffs were accordingly nonsuited.

13LACKXtfltN v. PERRENG.
Mr. STEVEkre; counsel for the prosecution, stated that this
suit was instituted agninst the Rev. P. /Jarring, rector of North
nkillb; neat Mndharr. in this county, charging him with
continued series of incontinence and fornication with one Maria
ISehella Blackburn, : from July, 11320, to Mercii, 184. The
evidence of WI. Blaekburn, he said, was fully borne put by
the letters of the defendaut, some of which referred to circum.
etancea of such a nature as completely to establish the. chttrge
of a criminal intercourse: he had recognised her pregnancy in
letter of advice as to the best place of her confinement, and
• had used epithets such as were seldom employed but by per.
sons guiding in. the neatest and dearest relationship to each
other : though seine of these lettere were written in a feigned
name, such as the romantic and poetic one of " Petrarch,"
there weld be no doubt of the identity of the defendant's hand-
writing. The case would also be found to be established by
other evidence ; and he was sure lie should be advocating the
vide of justice and of public morals in praying .for the cantle..
ion of the offender. •
' Mr. TANCIi.ED. for the defendant, said he hoped he should

lieavy charge against him. 'lf the defendant was con victeil, .the
consequences would be highly penal ; it would.deprive him of
his living, and consign him to lasting disgrace.. He was ehere_

The French Papers and Letters of Saturday
evening do not tend in any degree to justify the
alarms so industriously spread on our Stock, Ex•
change. The pacification of Spain proceeds
very •favourably. The important fortress of
Lerida has submitted to the King ; Barcelona
is negociating ; the Sea d'Urgel has been can-
nonaded, and, according to one account, has
actually surrendered. Attempts were matio
by some revolutionary officers in the army of
Ballasteros to oppose the. disbanding , of that
force ; but the soldiers refused to linter to the
suggestions, and no further obstacles to the en-
tire dispersion of the corps are apprehended.—
Indeed the whole Spanish army will be re.•
organised ; and for that purpose it,is necessary
to dismiss ell the present soldiers, and to admit
into the military service none but men who can
be relied upon for loyalty, and good conduct.—
Meanwhile a force of 30,000 French it is said
will, remain to secure the peace of the country
until the new levies are completely disciplined.
The reports of the King. of France's illness ap-
pear to have been exaggerated :. his Majesty,
however, has been for some time past indisposed;
and on the EKchange at Paris, as well as on our
own, sinister, rumours are quickly laid bold of,
and magnified into an importance which does not
iiropoily belong to them. From the same
anse, statements wholly unfounded were cir•
culated in Paris of commotions in Portugal,
and fresh insurrections in Andalusia. The
itentes declined, but not from any credit
given to these stories : the closing price was
$9. 85. The fact is, that Capitalists begin to
look to some new loans which mast be required
