The Loali CHAMCEL Loa was to have pronounced jadg.

sented themselves, with respect to the power vested 'in the
majoriy of the shareholclais to demise the seven-eighth, of the

further considered before he delivered his opinion finally on the
subject:
renown? 1.0/01.--JONES V.,KINDER.
Mr. IVETtiznigta., on behalf of the defendant, requested
that he might be permitted peremptorily to bring on his mo-
tion to dissolve the injunction granted inTebituo7 last, on the
ground of the great inconvenience of the restriction, by which
upwards of a million and a half of money was tied up; and
also from the prejudice which was thus attached to the whole
transaction.

The Loin Cusascts.r.acis. was willing to dispose of the mo:
doh on an early day.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH', Jura 211.

ROBElerirv.. 30 NVS.
Tliix was an action of debt, against the Marshal of the King's
Bench prison, for the escape of a person named Stephens, who
had been detained in his custody at the plaintiff's suit. It al)*
peered that Mr. SLephens, who had the benefit of the rules, dui
not confine himself within their limits, but ibr nearly four
months regularly slept at his- own house in Charles-street,
Grosvenor-amiare, and on One occasion joined a limiting party
in Kent. The Marshal, however, discovering this conduct, re-
took him on the 3d Of March last, and locked him within the
walls of the prison:

The LORD CHIRP JUSTICE thought that, under these cir,
eutnstances, the plaintiff could not recover ; but allowed a ver.,
diet to be taken for him on several of the issues, upon the effect
of which the COurt will decide.;

This was an action to recover from the defindant a sum of

wager between the plaintiff and a Mr. Freshfield.

plaintiff; that he (F.) would find a man that would beat the
plaintiff fly a stake of 1001. No combitant was then named,
but it was understood that Spring was to be Mr. Freslitield's
man. The plaintiff' accepted the bet, and agreed to fight, it'

of 20/i was deposited in the hands of the defendant, who keep,
the Turf Hotel, Sti James's-street, to abide the event of the
battle. It turned out that the stun of 1001. could not be made
up, and, consequently, the light not . having taken place, the
plaintiff applied to the defendant for a return of thts money,
hitt the defendant declining, ender pretence that the plaintiff
had not paid a bet lost upon a fight between Spring and Neat,
the_reent action was brought.

should not suffif the case to go to the Jttry. The public time
was not to be wasted by such discussions. He should discharge

PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS. JtrxE 26.

We add .the following particulars respecting
the departure of 'King Ferdinand from Seville,
-which we have received to-day from Madrid
from persons worthy of credit :--13n the 12th, at
7 p.m. the King set out. from Seville by land,
and passed the night at Utreva ;' the I'3th at
Xeres, and early on the 14th he arrived at
Cadiz. Mr. Ward, who lately passed through
Paris on his way -to London, had accompanied
his Majesty; he returned to Seville, whence he
was dispatched to London, on the evening of the
14th, by Sir W. A'Court, the British Ambas-
sador. :The latter was, in fact, making prepare-
2ions-to depart ; bat it is b6tieved that only his
lady and family will leave Seville and go to Gib-
•raltar ; and that his Foccellency will wait for the
orders of his 'Government. On the 13th the
Cortes embarked at Seville for Cadiz, on hoard
of steam-boats ; all the vessels, boats, and barks
have been put in requisition, to convey the
officers and the suites of the Government. Some
of them that remained behind were plundered.
it is affirmed that there are at present in Cadiz
15,000 troops and militia.—(Journal du Paris.)

NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN SPAIN.,
"MADRID, JUNE 21.
" PROCLAMATION OF THE REGENCY OF TIIE KINGDOM

TO THE SPANIARDS.
" SPANIARDS !—The Regency of the Kingdom addressed
itself to you in the excess. of its most poignant grief, not to
excite the constant loyalty of your hearts, because the Spaniards
cannot cease to be faithful to the God of our Father, and to our
beloved Sovereign; but to assuage the bitterness of its afilic.
tion or yours, at the sight of the evils which may ensue from the
melancholy situation in which the perfidious enemies of the
country have placed us.
" You are witnesses of the forbearance, the mildness, thb
indulgence, with which the partisans of irreligion, licentious.,
ness, and anarchy, have been treated. You have, it is true,
sometimes deplored the impunity which men -so criminal enjoy
in all places; and the Regency would even have feared scenes
calculated to cause Scandal, if, convinced of your wise patriot-
ism, it had not known that you were acquainted with the mo-
tive of its so mild and tolerant conduct. It must be said frank-
ly, this motive was, the liberty of the King and of his august
family.
" Spaniards, you know it, our legitimate- and adored So-
vereign has been deprived of the throne of his fathers. So
horrible a crime has been committed to revenge the heroic
answer of the Monarch, to the proposal to remove him to
Cadiz—an Answer the words of which ought to be written on
marble and brass. They will be the finest ornament of his.
gory for many ages, and they will always be engraved on the
hearts of all Spaniards.
" My conscience, and the interests of my subjects, do not
permit we to leave this place. As an individual, or a private
person, f should see no inconvenience in removing to another
place ; but, as a King, my conscience does not permit me to
do so.! ,

_
" In speaking thus, Ferdinand has manifested his great soul
and his love of his people. A Regency, named by the most
furious demagogues, has been the conseqUence of so much he-
roism ; and Ferdinand and his Consort, and all the Royal
Family, have been violently transferred to Cadiz; to Cadiz,
where that act destructive of religion and the Monarchy arose.
There the Monarch now is a prisoner; there is the Royal
; and can there be a Spaniard who can see such an event
without indignation and without horror ?
Spaniards ! Your Government confesses that it can find
no expression fit to paint so horrible a crime ; your Government
feels itself reduced to the eloquence of silence.
" Thu Itwncy of the Kingdom confounded, it is true, by
so great a crime, will not neglect to take, and it has taken firm
and energetic measures to punish its authors, and to remedy
• the evils caused by the implacable enemies of God and of the
Monarch. Prudence and vigour will govern all its resolutions.
You will, co-operate in so just an object, by confiding in your
Government, which will unremittingly pursue those whose in-
.f real has filled our hearts with mourning."
A Royalist Corps, partly composed of Portuguese, blockades
4-Ciudad Rodrigo, the siege of which will soon be begun. It is
suppoied it cannot make a song resistance, being ill supplied
with proviSions.
Some Monks of a Convent at Madrid have caused the re-
venues of an estate to be seized, which had belonged to their
order, and hail been held under the Constitutional system. The
legal officer employed acted by virtue of authority from one of
the Members of the municipality; this Member has been sum-
moned by the Regency, who blamed his zeal, because no reso-
. lotion had been taken respecting ecclesiastical property sold
under the Decree of the Cortes.

[FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.I
GERCAIIA, Jo to: 21.—Almost all the Revolutionists of Ca-
talonia look refuge in Barcelona on the entrance of the French
army into Spain. Terrified by the news which they have re...
ceived, many of them have left that city.
Count de I'Abisbal has written to his brother, who com-
mands the fortress of St. Sebastian, a very urgent letter, in
which he exhorts him to make hid submission, and not to ex—
pose the city to the misfortunes of a siege. This letter has
been delivered to the Governor of Tolosa, who immediately
tent it to St. Sebastian.
PARIS, June 20.—There is no longer any doubt respecting
the kind of Republican revolution effected at Seville : it is a
Regency that has been established, as we first stated. Thus the
Spaniards have to choose between a Regency which has, de-
throned their King, and a Regency which marciw: to restore to
him his liberty and his Crown,. between a Royal Administra-
tion sitting at Madrid, and a Democratic Convention establish.
ed at Cadiz between a principle of order and a source of
anarchy—no honest man will find any difficulty In making his
election.

(from the Quotidienne.l
M MAUD, Juan: 20.—0 n the 16th this capital gave a strik.
ino proof of its sincere attachment to its legitimate King and
the. Revd Family. About noon, a report was spread that the
Royal victims were at liberty. An immense crowd hastened to
the Puerta del Sol ; the Monolas played on their tambourines,
• ,which saver were struck to eelebrate the triumph of Wickedness.
Thti.street Las Carretas was impassable from the crowd, who
wore impatient to learn, by an Extraordinary Gazette, the con-,
tirmation of this happy intelligence. The reiterated assurances
of the cmployt!s that there was not any news, nor any order to
distribute an extraordinary bulletin, could not restrain the mul-
titude.. Every one "believed only his own wishes, and there
were no means to ;make the crowd withdraw, who fancied that
. the printers deceived them, or wished to delay the moment of
their complete satisfaction.
Half-pest ten had alreedy struck. And it was not possible to
shut the doors of the printing-office on account of the crowd,:
there was some reason to apprehend that this laudable impa-
tience might give occasion to:the ill-disposed to excite dis
turbance, by inilneing credulous persons to overstep the limits

that though his Royal lliKliness had received satisfactory news
there was not yet anything official, but that as sullt as he
should receive any such, he wOuld.lose no time in malting them

(The Quotirliellitc, after giving tbe official bulletin the same
as in the Atonitenr, says,}
'Po the above details we add the following particulars, fur-
nished by our private correspondent :
" General Ilordesoulte, learning the outrage put on the Royal
Dignity by the Constitutionalists Of Seville, has marched from
Cordovo directly upon Cadiz, without passing through Set ills ;
by this means he has gained three days march, and arrived on
the 216 t at Port St. Mary, on the very bay of Cadiz, and only
two leagues distant from that 'city, lt is from Port St. Mary
Britt the vessels 'constantly depart which supply, C,adiz with

Zayas has been overtaken by the French army, which greedy
harrassed it; t3eneral Molitor is in pursuit of liallasteros, %via:
to retreat precipitately.

{From the Journal du Commerce.'
PARIS, JUNE 25.-04- the 17th there was published, at
Madrid, a decree df the inspector of the printing offices and
booksellers' shops in the kingdom, forbidding any books, pe-
riodical Publications, or other papers, of whatsoever nature
they may be (except cards •of invitation), to be printed, sold,
or imported into the kingdom, without the previous permission
of the council or tribunal.
Yesterday, after four o'clock in the afternoon, M. Chardon,
Advocate, and Commissary of Police of the quarter of La
Chausske d'Antin, went to the office of the Mirror, for the
purpose of notifying to the Editor, M. Michelot, actually in
prison, a decree of the Minister of the Interior, finally sup-
pressing the Journal which be publishes. In the absence of
M. Michelot, the Commissary of Police gave his notice to
those Gentlemen employed on the Journal who had not yet
quitted the office of the ,Mirror. These men of letter* have
thought they ought not to make any resistance, and the Jour-
nal has not appeared to-day. It is said they have taken all
legal measures against the act which strips them df a pro-
perty that they have established with so much trouble and
expence.
[From the Constitutionnel.l
CAlll.nutrE,.lu NE 2U.—People had too soon presumed that
the kind of political interdict expressed by the three Powers
of the Holy Alliance against the King of Wurtemberg would
be servilely imitated by the powers of an inferior order. The
Cabinet of Bavaria has behaved in a manner snore worthy of
itself.—The Bavarian Minister to the Court of Stutgard, who
had obtained leave of absence to spend the season at the baths
of Baden, has just received orders from his Court to repair im-
mediately to his post; doubtless not to give reason to credit re-
ports humiliating to the independence of the Bavarian Govern-
ment. This step may, perhaps, be regarded an indirect dia.:
approval, by Bavaria, of tire measures taken by three Powers'
against itrurtemberg.
Rosin, jUN E I.—The Very Rev. Dr. Ryan, senior of the
Catholic Clergy of Cashel, lately left this city ; lie carries the
Pallium, or Apostolical Letters, for the Very Rev. Dr. Laffitn,
who is just promoted to the Archiepiscopal See of Cashel. Dr.
Latlim had been recommended to his Holiness by the suffrages
of the Clergy of the vacant diocese, which calls to mind the
usages of the primitive church. The virtues and the character
of this Prelate, WWI have acquired him the most honourable
recomniersdation :eat the favour of his Holiness, insure to his
diocese a paternal Government, inaccessible to all influence or
intervention contrary to the rights and invariable principles of
the Catholic Religion.
