This forenoon we received Bayonne Papers to the
4th instant. They describe the wretched state of the
Army of the Faith"—half naked, discontented, and
in despair at not seeing the Fiench troops, which
their Officers assured them would enter Spain on the
Ist instant. These Papers state, that an energetic
Remonstrance had been addressed to the Spanish Go-
vernment by the Constitutional Generals, to demand

from France that she shall not, after affording shelter

mediator between the French arid Spanish Govern- i San Lorenzo, our .A mbassador at Paris, has just

passed through, and is supposed to have brought
11-pacific news. This conjecture is strengthened by the
circumstance that for these five or six days the ex-

change of couriers between Paris and Madrid has
gfeatly abated. The courier that has just past had
orders to make all speed, and ample autbority.to
require whatever escort should be necessary. If the

news he brings k really pacific, it will greatly sou.

On the 28th, General Torrijos commenced his ope-
rations with 6000 men. A column of 500 men has
been detached towards Bilboa ; one of 800 has rein-
Ilforced the Pastor, as he is called ; a third, of 1200

Men, proceeds along the banks of the Ebro; while

the General, with a fourth, of above 3000 men, in-
cluding 400 cavalry, went to Pampeluna, which le
entered on the 30th. All the garrisons in his rear,
and especially at the passage of the Ebro, have been
reinforced, so that in a few days we shall see opera.

tions commenced in the fifth district. The two co.
lumns of Guerguet and Santos Ladron have fallen
back towards the mountains of Navarre, doubtless to
effect their junction with O'Donnell, whose troops, to
the number of 1500 men, are at Lombieres and the
environs, but they are not well disciplined. •
The weather is dreadful, and it is thought that no
more will be necessary than to scour the country
and press the bands back to the mountains, to ob-
tain a complete victory fever them ; for the soldiers of
the Faith have devastated the country, which now
affords them no resources, and they are half naked,
discontented, and in despair at not seeing the division
of French troops which their Officers had assured them
was to enter Spain on the Ist of this month. \V
think we may expect that in about a week O'llor..
nell will be obliged to go and take up his v.itittr-
quarters at Bayonne.
Notwithstanding the rigour of the season, the
stitutional troops are eager to engage those wre;chi.d
bands which desolate this fine country : as a proo:.
of their spirit, we may mention that 300 recruits
have most earnestly requested to go with the troc ps
of Torrijos, which was refused because these young
men do not even kftow how to march. The Paster
has now about 1,500 men, !who, divided into three
columns, will scour the three provinces: but wlat
will this avail us if the fugitives retreat into France
by the mountains of the Bidassoa, and return to take
up arms at Irati ?
, Till the measure is adopted of sending those who
retreat into France 40 leagues into the interior, we
shall always be harassed and exposed to their ma-
rauding: for how many times have we dispersed ani
driven away the bands of Zabala, Barrutia, Guesai.‘,
Cuebillas, Guerguet, Santos Ladron, and others?—
and how many times have we seen them return; by
way of Irati, provided with new means to make
war upon us? To obtain a remedy for this is the
object of an enerLetic Remonstrance addressed to the
Government by the Constitutional Generals, and
I signed by the Political Chiefs.

LORD PORTSMOUTH'S CASE.

COURT OF CHANCERY-TDIS DAY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR proceeded to state the pe-
tition,which was to question the soundness or unsound-
secs of the mind of Lord Portsmouth. He said, that
the Commission is to inquire into the soundness of
the mind of the party, though originally the province
of she Court was only to inquire into Idiotcy : but it
has been long settled, that if the party .is found to be
incapable of managing his affairs, then the person
holding the office of Chief Commissioner of Luna-
tics (for he did not dispose of this case as Chancellor)
issued a Commission ; and if be issued a Commission
ti• inquire into the soundness of the mind of the party,
if a Jury should find that the party was incapa-
ble of managing his affairs, that would not be suffi-
;'ent to give the Chief Commissioner any further
wer over him, unless that finding was preceded by
•i;,ding that the party was of unsound mind; and,
J
support of this doctrine, his Lordship quoted
sTitsiderable number of cases from the decision of
Lord Hardwicke ; for be could not of himself take
upon him to declare whether the patty was of un-
iinind mind or not, but to list that question of the
country, that is, by a Jury; for the Crown shall not
otherwise do that by which a party shall be deprived
of his liberty; and after that finding, there was a right
of traversing that finding. He then went over the sub-
stance of the affidavitsot the physicians, and observed,
that it it had not been for the caveat, he should have
issued the Commission for the Inquiry some time ago.
However, although this petition was presented by Mr.
Newton Fellowes; the brother of the Noble Lord, his
Lxdship said it did not belong whim, at present, to call
Fellowes the heir apparent to the Earldom. There
was a great variety of solemn instruments executed
by the Noble Lord ; and at first, when this applica-
tion was made to him some years ago for such a'
commission as this, he thought that, upon a perusal
of all the affidavits, there was a great deal of evi-
dence of eccentricity of conduct, but, upon the whole,
the evidence was in favour of sanity, and the evi-
dence of hardship and of ill-treatment was extremely
scanty ; therefore, then, he could not grant the corn.
mission, but the question was now, whether matters
were altered so as to call for a new inquiry ? He
r. fished it to be understood that he gave no opi-
nion upon the alleged sanity or insanity, cruelty,
adultery, or impotency. He decided upon neither
of these points: for he may be Impotent, and
not be an object of a commission; he may be treated
I.:di cruelty, and not be a subject of a commission;
he may have had an adulterous wife,and not be a sub-
ject of a commission. Whether any of these facts
es,ted, he gave no opinion; for he would not preju-
t:ce the question with any opinion of his upon
either of the points : the only question with him
was—whether or not there was ground for inquiry
whether the Noble Lord's mind was sane or not?-
2le then took a view of the affidavit of Dr. Bankhead,
and observed that the Learned Doctor did not appear
to embrace the question to be examined into ; though
he agreed with him in some parts, for a man may
have a 'depraved mind without being of an unsound
mind. As to that of the other Physicians, the
whole of the medical evidence preponderated
greatly in favour of unsoundness of mind. He then
observed upon all that had been said of what hao-
pened at different parts of England and Edinburgh,
and all which had been solemnly denied on oath,
upon which he would say nothing, for he would not
touch the character of any individual ; but the ques-
tion was, whether there was ground for inquiry into
fac:s ? upon these grounds he was of opinion that the
Ccnlmission should issue. With respect to all other
points, of security of the Noble Lord's person, &c. he
would say, in the course of this week, what should be
done; but it was his duty to say, upon the whole of
the case, there was grouad for issuing this Commission.
The ATIORNICY-GENERAL proposed the Commis-
sion to be executed in Middlesex.
The Loun CitArscuton wished to know whether
there should not be power given to adjourn from
, place to place? but, to save unnecessary expense,
and for other purposes, he believed it had better be
in Middlesex.—llere the matter rests.

The charge of Baron GRAHAM to the Grand Jury
at.Hertford, has very naturally excited considerable
surprise. it has been said, that the People have no-
thing to do with the laws bat obey them ; and, mon-
strous as the doctrine may be, it is one that appears
:1 have no small share in ' ;illation. When, however,
new law is made with the avowed object of les-
sening the severity of former ones, we should least of
a:i expect opposition to them from those whose only
:L-.;v is to see them faithfully administered. That a
third Assize may give more trouble and create addi-
ic,;ial expense to the Judges we will admit ; but it is
an experimental measure; and if it should afterwards
t;ecome a permanent one, we doubt not that either
r.zare Judges will be created, or the present ones corn-
?cr.sated for their increased labours. But whether
:ins be the case or not, we may ask how far it is
pood policy for a Judge to find fault with those laws
cf the 'Legislature which we ate taught it is the duty
of every person to respect, and certainly most of all
those individuals to whom their execution is so im-
mediately entrusted?
:Nly,rzarotra Atreus at KIST G KINSTZAD.—Some evenings
ego the loud report of a gun was heard in East Grinstead Church-
yard, and when the frightened inhabitants arrived at the spot,
they found two very respectable young men lying at a grave,
bolh shut in the legs. The account they gave was, that they had
been 'induced by some London resurrection-men to take out a
corpse recently interred, and that in the act of se doing, they had
teen washed, and allot at. Nothing fartherh as yet transpired;'
4% Loth the parties are highly respectable, their motives for
such base employment romaius a mystery. 1

in our harbour. The boats of his *Majesty's ship now lying
there, having returned from escorting the keels down the river,
the men were ordered, as usual, to draw the contents from their
muskets, from which the officer, according to custom, had pre-
viously seen the priming blown ; one of the men, however, find-
ing some difficulty in drawijag his piece, reprimed it, and dis-
charged It at the 0144-- buoy, when the OA unfortunately
rebounded, and struck a sailor, named James Johnson, who was
passing in a boat at the time. It entered his right side and
passed out at his back, and after lingering some time he died. As
soon as the accident was known to the Commanding Officer, he
sent the Assistant Surgeon of the ship to attend upon the wounded
man, and every care and attention were paid to him. The men
belonging to the ship have volunteered a day's pay to assist the
wife and family of the deceased.
