APPEALS TO TILE HOUSE OF LORDS

Mr. KENNEDY rose to ask for information on a subject
Which was of vital importance to that part of the empire which
had done him the honour to send him to that House. Ru-
mour had asserted that it was the intention of his Majesty's
Government to effect some arrangement for ensuring the
dispatch of Appeal business in the House of Lords, and it
was the object of his present application to ascertain what
was the nature of the remedy proposed, or if any was in con-
templation. .
Mr. secretary PEEL said, it was true that the subject was
at present under the consideration of his Majesty's Govern-
ment; and at an early period, l►e had no doubt, he shdiild be
able to furnish some information of the result.
Mr. KENNEDY expressed a hope that the proposed altera-
tion would be laid before that House before it was carried into
effect.

Letters from Gibraltar of the 19th state that a
French convoy passed the Straits that morning,
from the Mediterranean, and ,was off Cape Spa rtel
in the afternoon. It consisted of nine vessels,
apparently in ballast, under the escort of a brig
of war, the Captain of which asked the master
of a Spanish craft whether he had beard of a
French line of battle ship, or knew of any
Spanish cruisers. It was reported that a Spanish
ship of the line and a brig had sailed from Cadiz
on a cruise. An Algerine squadron, consisting
of a 60-gun ship and a 50-gun ship, a schooner,
and a corvette (the latter belonging to the Bashaw
of Alexandria), sailed from Algiers for Alexan-
dria on the 4th ult. The Consul of the King of
the Netherlands previously declared to the Ivey,
that if his corsairs captured a single Spanish
vessel, they would immediately be attacked by
the Dutch squadron.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

ESCAPE of iIUSSEV , Charged With MUUDER.
Ma tIION-110 has already been Stated tri the public,
that Hussey, who is charged upon the Coroner's Verdict with
the murder of Delany at. Cloth-fair, contrived to keepout of the
reach of justice. The circumstance out of which his escape
took place was quite accidental, and it would appear from the
investigation which has already taken places that no person is
to blame in the affair, except the wife of the accused. It ap-
pears that it vias by' her tnisrepresentation of the violence
charged against. her husband his liberation from prison was
efli:eted. The facts are as folio* t--
Hussey was taken from the scene of action at Cloth-fair by .a
watchman and constable, neitherof whom hall learned that their
prisoner had committed more than a common assault. He was
lodged in the 011tspur-street Compter for a common assault,
and-not one word Was said about bloodshed or danger to those
who have the charge of the, prison. Soon after Hussey wax
locked up his wife called upon Alderman Waithman, told him
that her husband was kept away from his family on the Sunday
for a bit of a row, said he had good bail ready, and would appeal'
tit Guildhall Justice room next slay if the Alderman would be
so charitable as to, discharge him from custody, and made
out such a case as induced the Worthy Magistrate to send an
order for his liberation to Mr. Teague. It is an Understood
thing between the Keeper of the Compter and the City Magi-
strates, that the orders for the discharge of persons confined shall
not be considered operative if the Keeper see any reason to
question the propriety of them. Huasey's wife soon appeared at
the prison with the order and the bail; and Mr. Teague perceiv-
ing that the charge was of the customary kind, took the bail, and
set Hussey at. liberty. On the Monday morning, however, it
was found thet the case Was of the most serious nature, the un-
fortunate man whom Hussey assailed having died in the Hos-
pital ; of tootle, was not forthcoming at the Justice.
Boom. His bail appeared tlieieon the Monday morning, but
suddenly disappeared upon hearing that Delany was dead.
A vestry was soon after held in the parish of St. Bartholomew
the Great, and a deputation from that body waited on the !Joni
Mayor to complain of the liberation of the prisoner Hussey,
and asked his Lordship's advice as to the most expedient course
of proceeding for the apprehension of Hussey.
The Lonn Mavou recommended that a reward should be
offered for the taking of Ilussey, and Mr. Teague said that he
would do so.
t The subject will be further considered in the Court of Al.
, derman.

count OF KING'S BENCH, Juwt 23.
This day the sittings for Middlesex commenced before ;h.
[4olu) CHIEF JUSTICE and common Juries.

COHEN V. LEVI.
This was an action to recover 621. lent by the plaintiff to the
defendant. The plaintiff, Airs. Rosette Cohen, about five
years ago, lent the money to the defendant, who is her brother.
In-law, and received his unstamped acknowledgment for ,the
money, which she still retained in her possession.
The defendant admitted that he borrowed the money, but
called one nitness, named Samuel Levi, to prove that he saw
it paid, and three others to chew that the plaintiff' had acknow.
leelged that she received it. On the abet hand, the two chil-
dren of the plaintiff swore that the detbndant had admitted it
was still unpaid.
The Lord Cum r-JtYsT ICE left the case to the Jury, on the
credit dne to these opposing witnesses, and on the circumstance
that the written acknowledgment yet remained in the plaintiff's

lands.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 631.

POETRY

THE SPANISH' CAUSE.
" If I were an American, as lam an Englishman, while a
foreign troop was landed in my country, I never would lay
down my arms--never, never, never!„ LoaD CHATHAM.
Where lives the British free-borri soul,
A righteous cause will not controul,
Or high or low his station !
Who marks the base invading foe,
And feels not in his bosom glow
All CHATHAM'S indignation !

Exclaims he not--." Were I of Spain,
My heart from holy freedom's reign
No power on earth should sever ;
There while a single Frenchman breath
My sword should ne'er again be sheathed ;
No—never, never, never !"

SONNET,
ON SEEING A BEAUTIFUL CHILD DEAD.

(BY J. M. LACEn'
Can this be death ? Can this be that fell pow'r
Which robs the world of beauty and of bliss ?
It looks like slumber's softest, calmest hour,
And may the infant never wake for this ?
.Alas! its lips are pale —no gentle breath
Escapes from them like Summer's mildest sigh ;
No throbbing pulse is there : it must be death!
'But who shall tell us what it is to die?
All, that we know of life is like a dream,--
A dream that ends when death's dark hour is glen ;
But death we know not! only that we deem,=--
In holy hope,—it leads the soul to fleav'n !
Farewell, sweet bade ! thou wert an angel here,
Now thou'rt a seraph in a higher sphere.

FROM M 1 XLcO.

NEW ORLEANS, FEB. 8.--A Gentleman who left the city of
Mexico on the 20th December, informs us that the power of
Iturbide was tottering to its fall, that general discontent pre-
vailed, and that the people of St. Luis de Potosi have raised
the standard of revolt. Disaffection pervaded the army, which
was unpaid, unclothed, and generally barefoot, without provi-
sions, and almost without ammunition and cannon; most of
the military stores belonging to the empire having been sent
to Vera Cruz to operate against the Castle of St. Jaen d'Ulloa„
were seized' by the partizans of Victoria. There was no specie
in the imperial treasury, and to supply the want o
f it, hut.
bide liad issued-bills to the amount of four millions of dol-
lars, redeemable at the end of the year 1823.= A forced
loan had been resorted to, which it was found very diffi-
cult to collect, as sales of property belonging to the indi-
viduals were daily
_held in the city of Mexico by , the of.
freers of Government, to make good the quotas of such as
were unwilling; or unable to pay. To increase the embarrass-
ment of Iturbide, Victorio, with 1,600 men was in the im-
pregnable position Ponte del Rey, on the high mad between
Vera Cruz and Mexico. Vera Cruz itself was also possessed
by the enemy, although besieged by a small army of the lin-
perisiists, who being placed between the army under Victorio
and the garrison of Vera Cruz, would, it was supposed, be
shortly compelled to make a precipitate retreat to Alvarado, or
be cut to pieces. The natives of the United States in Mexico
were generally suspected and regarded with jealousy by the
friends of lturhide. Our informant, who belongs to New Or-
leans, arrived from' the interior at the camp of the besieging
army before Vera Cruz, in company with three other Americans,
who contrived to evade the sentinels and maketheir escape into
Vera Cruz. It is true, as has been stated, that General Santa
Anna matte an attack upon Xalapa and was forced to retreat,
but not until he had taken prisoners 600 grenadiers, whom he
carried off. He was as' ailed by a superior force, which arrived
at Xalapa after he had taken possession of it, notwithstanding
which he made good his retreat, with his prisoners and spoils.

COMMON COUNOIL..--- Yesterday the Lo RD
MAYOR held a Court of, Common Council, in
consequence of a requisition to consider the Bill
for the erection of a new London Bridge. The
Committee delivered in a Report of 'their pro-
ceedings in Parliament relative to the Bill, which
was read, and ordered to be printed. The Re-
quisition was then read, and after a long debate
the Court came to sundry Resolutions.

SUN.

Opposition to the progress of the French in Spain.
That neutrality in the present state of things is
the policy, the interest, and the duty of Eng-
land, is now so universally admitted, that the
speeches against it are laughed at from one end
of the country to the other. If war between
France and England begins, where and when
will it end ?

POETRY.

THE PARTITION OF THE EARTH.
(Front Schiller.)

BY LORD FRANCIS LEVISAX GOWER.
When Jove had encircl'd our planet with light,
And had roll'd the proud orb on its way,
And had given the Moon to illume it by night,
And the broad sun to rule it by•day;
The reign of ita surface he form'd to agree
With the wisdom that govern'd its plan;
He divided the earth, and apportion'd the sea,
And he gave the dominion to man.

The hunter he sped to the forest and wood,
And the husbandman seized on the plain ;
The fisherman launch'd his canoe on the flood,
And the merchant embark'd on the main.
The mighty partition was tinish'd at last,
When a figure came listlessly on;
But fearful and wild were the looks that he cast
When he found that the labour was done.

The mien of disorder, the wreath which he wore,
And the frenzy that flash'd from his eye,
And the lyre of ivory and the gold which he bore,
Proclaim'd that the poet was nigh ;
And he rush'd all in tears, at the fatal decree,
To the foot of the Thunderer's throne.
And complain'd that no spot of the earth or the sea
Had been given to the bard as his own.

And the Thundercr smil'd at his prayer and his mien,
Tho' he mourn'd the request was too late;
And he ask'd in what regions the Poet had been,
Inen his lot was decided by fate,
Oh ! pardon my error, he humbly replied,
Which sprung from a vision too bright,
My soul at the moment was close by thy aide,
Entranc'd in these regions of light.
It hung on thy visage, it bask'd in thy smile,
And it rode on thy glances of fire;,
And forgive, if, bewilder'd and dazzled the while-.
It forgot every earthly desire.
The earth, said the Godhead, is portion'd away,
And I cannot reverse the decree,
But the heavens are mine, and the regions of day—.
And their portal is open to thee.—

MY MOTHER'S GRAVE•
My mother's grave, my mother's grave
Oh ! dreamless is her slumber there;
And, drowsily the banners wave
O'er her that was so chaste and fair ;
Yea ! love is dead, and memory faded !
But when the dew is on the brake,
And silence sleeps on earth and sea,
And mourners weep, and ghosts awake,
Oh ! then she cometh back to me
In her cold beauty darkly shaded !

I cannot guess her face or form ;
But what to me is form or face
I do not ask the weary worm
To give me back each buried grace
Of glistening eyes or trailing tresses !
I only feel that she is here,
And-that we meet and that we parts
And that I drink within mine ear,
And that I clasp around my heart,

SPAIN.

MADRID, OCT. 17.—The 30,000 French who
are to occupy thci Peninflula will be..distributedi
through the Provinces aecording, to a new terri-
torial. division. There will be in Madrid a l‘,lSir.!
shal of France to command in chiet, but not
Oudinor, who appears extremely disgusted with
all that takes place here. It is believed that
this important place will be confided to Lauriston
You will hear of the repugnance which the
French show for the extreme measures of - Nrj-
dinand. his a fable. When the Decree of Ole
Ist October came to be .known here, the. Liberlils
were insulted, outraged, stoned, and beaten in
the streets. The French did not oppose these
excesses, with the exception of the gens d'armes,
who snatched a few unfortunate men from the
fury of the populace, and who next day received
orders to quit Madrid. .
Riego has been tried and condemned to death.
He will be transferred one,of these days to the
Town Prison. Cavia was his Judge, the nephew
of the Bishop of Osma, one of the Regents, and
the crime in the Act of Accusation is the having
voted as a Deputy of, the Cortes the deposition
of the King, during his translation to Cadiz, and
the nomination of the Regency. It is impossible
to form an idea of the horrible treatment to which
this unfortunate man has been subjected. By a
refinement of cruelty, worthy of the S*irviles, tbe
custody of his person was confided to Zuluaga,
one of the Chiefs of the rebellion of the 7th July,
who took a pleasure in tormenting the prisoner in
every possible manner. .The populace were per-
mitted, on the first day, to approach the dungeon
in which Riego was confined, and to load him
with insults. .

Letters from Alicant and Carthagena state,
that several detachments of those garrisons, as
well as the national militia of those two towns,
and of Murica, °rattlela, and several others,
have gone to join the army of Ballasteros. In
fact, all those who are compromised in the Con-
stitutional party, have every thing to fear from
the reaction which is manifesting itself in conse-
quence of the famous Decree of the Ist October.
Exposed to become victims of the populace
who are excited by the monks, they will every-
where embrace the resolution of joining the dif-
ferent focuses of resistance scattered throughout
the Peninsula.

KING'S BENCH—(Tias Dar.)

LIBEL.

CLERK V. DEAVMOUNT.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff,
the Conductor and Manager of the European Life and Beacon
Fire Office, against Mr. Barber Beaumont, of the County Fire
Office, for alleged libels published by defendant in the Ob.
server, Morning Herald, and Morning Post Newspapers ;
the damages were laid at 10,0001.—The SOLICITOIt-GrENE-
RAI. opened the case on the part of the plaintiff; and called
Charles Foreman, the late clerk of the Morning Post, who
proved the libel complained of was brought to the office by a
person from the County Fire Office, as an advertisement, and
paid for as such.

The libel was then read. It stated " that lately two new
Insurance Companies had been established, and which gua-
ranteed to effect Insurance upon a higher rate, viz. 25 per cent.
than any hitherto done." The article then went on to state—
" that the Managers were men who formerly conducted two
other Insurance Companies, but left it without allowing them
a single shilling."

Thomas Goodyear, of the Observer, also proved the Jibe;
was left in the office for insertion.

It was, however, discovered that the paragraph was not word-
ed in the Advertisement as in the Record, and that chary was
consequently dropped; the Libel in the ,Morning Post being
the only one to be proceeded upon.
Mr. DErterssr, on the part of the defendant, contended, that
the defendant had a right to make what remarks he thought
proper upon the plaintiff's plans, and considered he was thereby
rendering the public a service.
The Learned Counsel called no wittiestes.
Chief Justice ABBOTT, in charging the:Jury, said, he con-
sidered the plaintiff' had made out his case, and was conse-
quently entitled to the damages.
The Jury consulted for a short time, and then returned their
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2001.
The Court was intensely crowded during the trial.

faulter us yet.

The Public have not failed to observe, that,
whatever may be the 'pretexts
_hereafter to be
brought forward in ".justitication.pf,aDeclaration
of War, the Speecia-rot the -King of FRANCE has
not pretended to allege any injury, any insult,
any provocation, which could account for the
rash, the iniquitous, the perilous, policy hich he
ilItS adopted respecting Spain ! The hostility of
his Government to the Spaniards is founded
upon the naked and unprincipled avowal,
that he desires to see FERDINAND I'M re-
stored to that condition hi which he will " be
free to give to his people institutions which they
cannot hold but from him !" It is obvious from
this avowal, not only that the determination of
the French Cabinet for War has been very re-
cently formed, but that that determination has
been given to it by external influence! We can.
not form any other conclusion than that which
we have, just stated, without imputing to France
the most deliberate dupticity and the most
shameless falsehood, or without assuming that
the Portuguese Foreign Ministe! has grossly
misrepresented the nature of the declarations he
had received from France,—and that for the mere
purpose of gratuitously deceiving his own Sove-
reign, and the Portuguese Cortes and nation. On
referring to the Report of that Minister, in our
Paper of the 23d instant, the Reader will find in
it this remarkable passage. " The Government
of his Most CitaisTiAN Ma.; vs-ry protested, that
it had never conceived uny hostile intention to-
wards Portugal ; that, as a Constitutional GOvern-
ment, it not only considered as unjust, but would
be ashamed to maintain, so absurd a doctrine as
that of the interference of one Porzer in the in-
ternal organization of any other; and that
notwithstanding the fears which the Army
of the Pyrenees might naturally excite,
it would never pass the frontier line unless
it were first violated by the Spanish troops.',
—Yet, after these solemn assurances, so
recently given, the King of FRANCE now an-
nounces that he is about to send a hundred
thousand men into Spain ; and for what purpose,
or on what grounds ?---for the pursope of overturn-
trrg " the "internal political organization" of that
Monarchy,---and on no other ground than this,
that its political organisation givot "
