CGOPFIELD V. CUAPPLE.
This waian action of covenant on an indenture of apprentice.
ship, by the father-in-law of the apprentice, against hits master
for neglecting to supply him with necessary food 'and meal.
eines during that term. The defendant was a hoot-maker in
Covent-garden; the lad had served with him six years of his
time, but in the seventh met with a strain as he was at-
tempting to clean a window, which brought on a severe and
dangerous illness. His master having no- accomadation for
him in his own house, took him to that of the plaintiff, where
'he lingered four months and then died. During thiS time, his
father-in-law incurred an expellee of 171. for surgical attendance
and medicines, and also paid other sums to nurses, which he
now sought to recover *um the miser.
(.IrirTy, for the defendant contended, that he was not
liable in this form of action, because there had been no refusal
to provide necessaries, but only a humane acquiesconee in the
apprentices remaining tinder the care of his relatives. lie also
urged that the charges fhr medicines were exorbitant, and that
the whole could never have been taken.
The Loup CritEr JuwercE was clearlyl:l opinion, that
though there was no'wilful or criminal refusal to provide 'for
the apprentice, yet that the consignment of him to the care of
the plaintiff, because the defendant could not accommod tte hint
in lus own house, vim such neglect to perform the covenant as
would sustain the action. • The question of damageS was en.
tirely for the Jury, who would give a uuxlerate compensation,
which was all the plaintiff' seemed to desire.--The Jury found
a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 42/. •

PARIS PAPERS.
[From the Journal des Debuts of Thursday.]
PASO; JUNE 18.—We have seen it announced,- in the jour—
nals, that the Spanish Regency has declared null and void the
loans contracted by the Cortes. No official act of this kind has

come to our knowledge, We believe that the Regency, essen-

tially administrative in its functions, would not eagerly press

,forward to decide in a matter of high legislation, upon so grave

anti complicated an affair it would doubtless consider it more
prudent to wait till the King, whom, according to its own prin-
ciples, it regards as the supreme legislator, shall be able, with
the advice of his Council, to determine a question connected
with the most important political interests. • -

NEWS FROM THE ARMY OF SPAIN. .
CARGI.IXA. JUNE 10.—The 7th of June, the vanguard of
our corps d'arinee met a corps of Constitutionalists, consisting
of 900 men. We prepared to attack them ; but the poor devils
fled, or surrendered themselves, without firing a shot. Five
:hundred prisoners, one standard, and two pieces of cannon,
remained in our hands. Yesterday, the 9th, the tame van-

-guard met, at Desplana-Perros, about a league from Carolina,
a column of 800 Constitutionalists, who, after attempting to
make some-resistance, were dispersed, captured, or killed.—
The result was 300 prisoners, and 100 left on the field of battle.

—lt cost us, too, more dearly than the other affair, for we lost
several soldiers, two or three officers, and about 40 wounded.
We are now at Carolina., Thus we have already traversed
40 leagues of country . since our departure ; and you eee we
do not idle upon the road. The heat begins to be felt : we
march by night. We ate every where received as -liberators.—
Carolina is a pretty little town, well built, and founded by a
German colony.

ARMY OF THE PYRENEES—II_OLLETIN.

" In consequence of the brilliant affair which the vanguard
of Count Bord.esoult had on the Bth before Santa Cruz, the
enemy's General, Placentia, being cut off from the great road
to Estremadura, had thrown himself into the mountains, where
be had succeeded in collecting 300 foot and 300 horse; being
unable to reach Estremadura, except by 'dreadful roads, there
was reason to believe that he would attempt to proceed to Ca-
rolina, by a road which had been long neglected. In conse-
quence, General Bourdesoult had
.ordered the Duc de Dino,
commanding his vanguard, to proceed with all expedition to
La Carolina.
"That General bad arrived there on the 9th, at ten in the
morning. He soon learnt that the little Column of Placentia
was crossing the great road to endeavour to get to the moun-
tains of Vilches, which are less difficult, and by which he might
reach Jean. This news was brought by Quarter-Master Ogee,
who, being left to make observations, traversed the enemy's
column, to rejoin his General.
" The Duo de Dino having repaired immediately to Vilches.,
whether Placentia was going, met with him drawn up in a pla-
teau, separated from him by a ravine; he caused him to be
immediately. attacked by two companies of Voltigeurs of the
2d light regiment, supported by the.rest of the regiment. These
,companies crossed the ravine with the greatestinipetuosity, and
forced 'the enemy's infantry to take flight ; but Placencia's
three squadrons, which were formed in a band of the guard,
made some resistance to our tirailleuts. The chasseurs of the
guard then promptly crossed the ravine, formed en the left of
the enemy, and immediately gallopped, towards the infantry,
which were retreating, firing under the protection of the ca-
valry. All were then thrown into disorder ; 280 soldiers, 40 of
them cavalry; 11 officers, one of them a captain of cavalry,
were taken prisoners in this affair, which was conducted with
equal judgment' anal vigour by the Due de Dino. Placencia's
column is now totally destroyed; unfortunately, we had two
men killed and seven wounded, none of them dangerously.
Then follow the praises of the troops and several officersd—
The Duc de Dino himself has on this occasion given fresh
proofs of his activity, and zeal, and entire devotion to the
• •
s service."

[BY EXPRESS.]
MADRID, JUNE 14.—Letters have been received from Gan.
Count Bourniont, who has succeeded in conveying hie artillery
across the Tagus, and was, on the 11th, at Tnixillo. The dis-
positions of the people of Estremailura scented to be excellent
The Revolutionists were supposed to beretreating directly to
-Seville. The Commissioner of the Regency writes, that the
whole country highly praises the conduct of Gen. Bourmont.
Various letters have been intercepted at the General's head-
quarters, which confirm the happy success of the Royalist
lliovement in Portugal ; it began, as I told•you, on the '2Bth of
May, and on the 3d of June the King was restored to liberty,
and to Ids power and authority.
Gen. Pamplona has been named Minister of War, Count de
.Palmella, Minister of State, and Count Osarcos, of Finance.
An officer of your staff, who returned yesterday from a mis-
-sion to Salamanca, states that the division of Count Aniarante
left it on the Bth, to return to Portugal ; but, in order to pro-
tect a city which has received them so well, they have left there
.s battalion of Militia, till the arrival of, the Spanish Royalist
troops.
The want of direct communication is the only reason that
no Envoy from the new Government had yet reached the Duke
of. Angnulume.
Wilson had come to inform himself of the tate of things in
the Asturias and Gallicia. He found things in such a state
•that he returned•to Portugal, where the counter-revolution is
..proceeding.
,IMPORT FROM THE LIEUTENANT-GENERAL, COMMAN-
DER OF THE DIVISION OF THE EASTERN PYRENEES,
'TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER, SECRETARY OF
STATE FOR THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
" MONSEIGNEUR I—l have to-day good news to comniu-
• nic.ete to your Excellency, respecting the brilliant results of the
movements ;Erected against Mina; and I hasten to Lay them
before you.
" On the 14th a column of the enemy debouched about two
o'clock, towards the defiles of Voluvollera. This Column had
been warmly attacked by, our troops, commanded by General
St. Priest. The result has been the, destruction of all this co-
, toren, in the valley of aweja. .About six hundred prisoners I
vete taken, among whom Is General Orrea, with several
oflicetst. • •
It was only a false attack that Blina caused to be made.
„About five o'clock he appeared himself, with 1,500 or 2,000
men, both cavalry and infantry, on the heights of Leo.; but he'
descended with the greatest rapidity at the sight of a strong
detachment of the garrison of Mont Louis, which I caused to
take a position before thaeplace, to observe the motions of the
enemy, and defend the defiles of our mountains. Mina re-
mained some minutes at Err to refresh his men, who were
dying' with hunger ; thence he crossed the plain to Llivia,
Where he reposed some hours. In the night he continued his
march towards the valley of Carol. On the 15th, at three in
the morning, loud firing was heard on that side. Mina is ac-
tively pursued; if he can be cut off from the road to Urgel, he
is undone—for his troops are harrassed,and In the greatest want
of every thing. This it is that has forced him to abandon 'the
heights of Mulcts.
A report, which I this instant received, says, that 200 pri-
eloners had already been taken front Mina, at the points of
Carol and Guils, where they were fighting on the 15th, in the
evening. There is, therefore, every reason to suppose that this
oolumn will be destroyed, and that Mina will be either taken
, or Plied.
"Y have just given the necessary orders for the conveyance
of the prisoners from Mont Louis to Perpignan, whence I shall
make them stet out for Montpellier as soon as they arrive.
" I am, &c., " Baron ROTIFEIIi BOURG."
