NEWMARKET COURSING MEETING, 1824.
rittsT CIIEVELEY FIELD.
TUESDAY—The oldest sporannan at Newmarket can not brit g
to recollection a more boisterous and unfavourable coursing day
than this has been. Half past 11 o'clock was the time given in
the Orders from the Club last night !Or the first couple of dogs
for the Cup to be in the Slip at the Furies, Warren Hill ' • the
Slipper punctually obeyeal Ins instructions; anti notwithstanding.
the Incessant ruin, accompanied by a perfect hurricane, the as•
semblage of sportsmen and others was very numerous, as the
Cup for this year excites a very lively interest. A delay in start..
ing the first brace took place in the hope that the rain would
abate, but at 12 the tempest being as furious as ever, it was
deemed useless to keep back any longer, and the sport corn..
menced and continued till nearly dusk, the rain descending
in torrents during the whole times During the progress of the
day's courses the fir trees in the 'Warren plantations were.
heard in every direction either to split or fall, and it is con.
jectured that upwards of one hundred were actually blown
down. Several persons took shelter during the storm in a
hut., erected in the plantation as a resting place for jockeys
when wasting; and while there, a tree was blown up and
fell on the roof of the hut, but happily. only occasioned ra-t
then a hasty retreat, without any injury. Horses could
scarcely carry their riders, who. experienced equal difficulty
in retaining their scats, and many instances occurred of Irani
being blown off; anti either totally lost, or occasioning to the
owners a disagreeable and unsportsmanlike pursuit at full
stretch, for one, two, or three miles; these contingencies
were not confined to the Heath, as others of a snore dart_
genius nature took place at Newmarket and it environs, where
houses were unroofed, chimneys blown down, and. windows
blown in, &c. but fortmittely without loss of:life.
Last night the hares were driven out of the plantation at the
top of 'Warren Hill, and fires kindled around it to keep them
out, agreeable to custom, in order to get them into the furze*
for good coursing; but this did not avail, for the inclemency
of the night induced the furred tribe to seek a warmer retreat,
and have recourse to the hollows, consequently but few atop.
ped, and those did not like to move even when the beaters.
strove to rouse them for the runs, several being absolutely
pushed out of their newly made forms fearful of encountering
the weather.

On the First Cheveley Field it..rarely.happens that the day is
not in favour of the hares, who uniformly make for the planta-
tion. This was the case today; for in the four courses run
from the furzes the betting was chiefly 2 to 1 on the hare ; but
when they moved to the ploughed lands, the eourhes were in
favour of the dogs.
Considering the disadvantages, we could not have expected
so numerous and respectable an assemblage; we noticed Lord
Dunwich, Admiral Wilson, Messrs. Northey, Sycr, Scott, De
Burgh, Redhead, Mure, Wilkinson, Hoskins, Rust, tient,
Wright, Buckworth, Dean, Towers, te.
It-is with extreme gratification we add, that Lord Rivera is
so far convalescent as to take airings in his close carriage, and
had the weather permitted would have been on the ground
to-day.
The sport was admirable nearly throughout; br the Cup in
particular, in which the crack dogs were engaged, and 'on this
event we have given a careful and detailed account of each
course.

The following are particulars:—
For
• th. Gold Cup.
No. 1. Mr. Northers red d. Nectar - . . 1
Mr. Syer's 1. b. . . - . . 2

bitch banging upon the hill full ten yards behind, not having a
chance—the here made the copice, before which she was turned
several times by Nectar, but beat them both in gallant style.
Betting 6 and 7 to 4 and 2 to 1 on Puss.
Nu. 2. 111r.•kicott's r. d. . Imhoff . . . 1

M. De Burgh's r. d. Quiz - . . 2
A fine course. Quiz had the best of the running at first, but
lost ground ; he, however, recovered it in the middle of the
Course! but was beat. The hare beat both doss, and was the
favourite at 2 to 1.

No. 3. Marquis of Huntley's d. d. Viscount . I
Mr. Redhead's r. d. Lear . . - 2
The hare was again the favourite at 6 to 4, and beat the dogs
after a beautifully contested course.
No. 4. Mr. Mure's blk. d. p. . .i
Admiral Wilson's t. d. Uxbridge - 2
This course was equal to any of the tbrmer ones. Filho had
nearly all the running with Uxbridge at his heels, and they
made tine sport; the bare was again the favourite, but WAS
killed.

No. li. Mr. Wilkinson's blk. b. Clara - - .
- I
Lord Rivers' blk. d. Rolla - - - 2
Roila had the best of this course at first, but the hare making
a bend near the cover, Clara came in and won cleverly. Even
betting between dogs and hare, who escaped.
No. 6. Mr. Hoskins' blk. and w. b. Heiress . - 1
Mr. Rust's r. d. p. Baron , - - 2
A good course, but no betting. The hare beat the dugs'.

Mr. I3rickworth's br. d. p. Kiss - - 2
A very severe course, and had not the hare been killed so

THE LONDON- JOURNALS•

DAI V
Extrac Is from the Nornint Papers) Nov. 25.

[MORN.II4G CHRONICLE.] ,
The Ordonnance which summons the Cham-
bers for the 22d of the ensuing month, has caused
an universal sensation in Paris. All parties are
full of joy, and they look upon it as the signal
of battle. M. de Villele assumes in all his acts,
and in public, an appearance of the greatest se-
curity ; he omits no opportunity of inducing per.
sous to take part in his quarrel ; he,flatters and
menaces by-turns the Chamber of Peers, and he
specially conceals all his fears in appearing to. be
wrapt up in the examination and developement
of the new projects for the reduction of the
Rentes; and for the indemnity to. emigrants,
which he intends offering to the discussion of the
Chambers. But his ill-disguised fears show them-
lelves in every direction. The liberty of the
Press, like the sword of Damocles, is always sus-
pended over the head of the Minister, and he in
Train seeks repose and tranquillity in the' gilded
bowers of his palace in la Rue de Rivoli. During
his sleepless nights he meditated on the means
to grapple with this terrible and implacable foe ;
and in the morning he rises to fresh difficulties,
which spring from the freedom of thought and of
the Press. In vain he carried into the Council
of the King the. project of annihilating the Li-
berty of the Journals ; in, vain he depicts his ad-
versaries as jealous and envious rivals of his
power; in vain he represents them as animated
by their own interest only, and 'not by that of
the public ; he dreads to think of the solemn pro-
mises of Charles X. and of the approaching pub-
licity that will be given to the debates in both
Chambers. Ills intolerant colleagues, Corbiere
and Peyronnet, in vain persuade him to adopt
their violent parties, the elastic Villele pre.
fers bending to the public opinion, to the
opposing it. -- The Police has orders to
run down every day in' the public places,
the promenades, the coffee-houses, the thea.
tret, Chateaubriand and Bourdonnaie, while
the forlorn Ministerial Journals insult in their
unread columns liberal men and liberal principles.
But'all these unworthy attempts to pervert the.
public mind have just the contrary effect to what
the Ministry intends. Every one is interested
for the defenders of the constitutional doctrines,
such as they are, and every one joins in tnaledic-
Lions against the Minister, who acts wisely in
sheltering himself behind the popularity of the
King, though Charles X. should be careful
how lie acts, as he owes more to the hopes inspired
by a new reign, than to himself. The false
tribute of love and praise is only a Kingly oint-
ment which is applied to all Monarchs, and they
will be moat deceived who suppose that the de.
monstrations ptit forth by the different parties to
the Hew Prince will be fulfilled to the letter. It
is a sort of passport under which they make i
known. their wishes, and in landing the King
they do not forget to make known the grievances
of the: country., It has frequently been said,
that the liberty of the press is the palladium
of the liberties of the people. Curses then on
him who would lift his hand against the arch
which fermi so sacred an union, though that
of. M. de is not stiong enough to over-
turn it.

[MORNING POST.]
The packet ship Florida has arrived at Liver-
pool, with New Yot k.Papers to the 3d inst. and
Baltimore to tho 30th of October. They contain
information from Mexico and Colombia which
leaves no doubt as to the authenticity of the Pa-
nama account of Bolivar's victory, but at the same
rime proves, as we originally stated, that the
action was a partial one, entirely confined to the
cavalry of both armies, Wild that the advantage
gained by the Liberator, although important, was
not decisive. A Baltimore Journal of the 29th ult.
speaks indeed of a great battle in Peru, in
which the Spanish Commander, thinterac, is
said to have been killed, and the Colom-
bian General, Sucre, with another Officer of the
same rank, to have also perished on the field.
But as it is added, that although the Republicans
were victorious, the victory was not decisive of
the fate of the country, it is probable that the in-
telligence relates to the defeat of Canterac's ca-
valry, which having been followed by the re-
treat of his whole army, may certainly be repre-
sented not only as an advantage, but as a vic-
tory. As Camerae himself headed his cavalry in,
that action, it is not impossible than he may have
been killed, though the fact was not mentioned
in the Panama Dispatch. Such a catastrophe
would account for the sudden retreat and
alleged flight of his army more satisfactorily
than the mere dispersion of his horse, which
could only have endangered the safety of his in-
fantry, if Bolivar had bad the rest of his troops
at hand to attack it, which, according to his own
report, be bad not. Should Conterize have fallen,
we should certainly be disposed to say .with the.
Baltimore Journal, that the Royal cause in Peru
had received its death-blow, for there is no doubt
that his talents and influence with the troops
have long been its chief support.

[rim TIMES]
The .opinion which we have always maintained
with regard to the case of the unhappy Mr.
Ftiuntleroy has been, that looking merely to his
offences, it would be utterly impossible for any
Minister of the Crown, in the Conscientious (Hs,
charge of his public duty, to recommend. such a
Criminal to Mercy. We learn that this opinion
has been confirmed by the proceedings of the
Privy Council, and that (the Judges haying
previously decided against the argument in
error) the unhappy man has' been 'doomed to
undergo the' sentence of the law on Tues.
day next.' The idea entertained by , some
of his Creditors that he could, if his life
were-saved, make important :discoveries as,to the
share of other individuals in his guilty transac-
tions, appears to be without fotOdatian. At least,
it is not understood that Mr.. Fauntleroy has
offered to make sucl► diiclosures`; but. it may be
hoped that he will occupy part of the fleeting

moniOtts Actite:eti itie43 'ttna eternity, in offering
to his:infured fellow-creatures the sole- reparation
in his power, by a full•and candid confession of
his enothiities.

We some time since noticed the reciprocal'
abolition, by some of the Continental Powers, of
the impost called Droit rte Detraction, payable
on the transfer of property from one country. to
the heirs or other claimants in another country.
This relic of barbarous legislation is rapidly
disappearing ; and we find, that in consequence
of the Russian Ukase of the 14th of June, 18'23,
decreeing the abolition in regard to all countries
which admitted the principle of reciprocity, offi-
cial declarations have been exchanged between
the Russian Government and our Minister at St.
Petersburgh, establishing the fact of that aboli-
tion as between Russia and Great Britain.—(lbid.)

[BRITISH PRESS.
We have received a file of the Buenos Ayres
Paper, El Argos, to the 11th of September. It
brings some interesting intelligence as to the
state of the civil war between the Spaniards in
Peru. It completely explaini the news we pub-
fished on the 16th inst., and which at the time
completely puzzled our contemporaries learned
in South American affairs. On the 20th of June,
at Potosi, Olaneta issued a Manifesto, addressed
to the inhabitants of Peru, in which he des
nounced Laserna, Cantarac, Valdez, Monet,
and the other Spanish Constitutionalists in Peru,
as- enemies to the rights of the Throne. Since
the publication of this Manifesto, hosti-
lities have been waged fiercely between Valdez
and Olatieta, the former having the nearest
command to this rebellious Ultra-Royalist.
His adherents, it will be seen, avow and glory
in the most savage ferocity, and they seem to be
much more enterprising and desperate than the
Constitutionalists, who, we suppose, do not very
clearly understand what they are fighting for,—
General Carratala, it now appears, was captured
on the 14th of July by some partisans of Olaneta,
by surprise, in the city of Potosi, which that Ge-
neral had evacuated some weeks before. The
first account we had of Carratala's being made
prisoner, represented that he had been taken
after a severe engagement between the two Spa-
nish armies ; but it is now clear' that there had
been no general battle previous to his capture.—
Valdez was then in the vicinity •of Chu-
quisaca, and it is 'not improbable, from the
violent feelings and unbounded confidence
of the soldiers of Olaneta, that if the former
chose to hazard a conflict, the latter would not
decline it, though with forces of inferior number.
Olaneta seems to have Organized the country
under his command judiciously for his own. pur-
poses, and to have strongly attached a great
number of persons to his interests. Of Repub-
licans, or Independents, there appears to be but
very few indeed, at least in Upper, Peru. All
the dissentious of the Royalists have not induced
a single party to make its appearance, though
the trade of war is, we apprehend, The best that
can be followed at the present moment in that
part of the world. The Editor of the Argos thinks
that when Guerilla parties can be formed., who
can carry on their operations without any danger
of being defeated
.(sin tensor alguno de scr buti.
due), the Patriots of Peru will be encouraged to
come forward and look their enemies in the face.
Whether they will manifest this extraordinary
degree of devotion to the liberty and independ,
ence cif their country, or whether they will wain
patiently till Bolivar saves them all risk, and
trouble of every kind, we shall perhaps shortly
know. It appears to us, from all that we tee in
the Buenos Ayres papers, that the Peruvians are
still likely to act upon • Falstaff's prudential
maxim.
