the writ of error, or appeal, SO that it may
come on to be solcmnly argued, This will
place the court in the situation it ought re-
ally obe. Not engaged in deciding questi
ons OF mere fact, matters of account, which
could better be settled in different mode,

1T 1t be objected that the court may some
times refuse redress to persons who are
really eRtitled to it; it may deny their in
terposltion IN cases where it is dictated by
justice and propriety. The answer to this
is, that the court of appeals must at least de-
eide whether error exists in the judgment
OF the inferior court. Why not therefore
conhde to that court, or to the judges of it ?
In the first instance, what must ultimately
be submitted to its judgment! 1t may also
be commended, that the great extent of the
state may make it announcement to the peo-
pie, to apply to the judges for wrts oferror,
supersedeas, or appeals.
HE addition to the number Of Judges will
diminish the weight of this objection. But
besides, IL Is known that as applications are
made on the record, and no new evidence
can be introduced, such records, can with.
out difficulty be transmitted to the judges
The facilities of intercourse in this conn
try will render this easy. And in order to
prevent Inconvenience to the parties by the
emanation OF an execution, the law mav
iprovidc that where person shall intend to
apply to tho Court of appeals, or one of the
judges OF that court for an appeal, writ of
error, or supersedeas, the Judge, or court

| IL the change here suggested, takes place,
/ is believed that the business of the Court
of Appeals, will be essentially diminished,

power or the judges within reasonable time,
after a cause gets into the court to decide it.

rop Sims, Capt. HAYNES in so days from

tor Of the Herald papers to ,he fourth of
November. Their contents do not possess
that interest which we had anticipated, be-
ing chiefly composed of structures on the ad
minlstra zion, conjeciures as to the stipula-
tons ofthe treaty between France and Aus
tria, and anathemas against the proprietors
OF Covent Garden Theatre, who, il appears,
have not been able toput down the powerful
opposition raised against them, IN conse.
quence of the enhancement of prices Of ad
ipittance into the Theatre. The Jubilee, in
commemorative of the Kings having attain
ed the 50ih year of his reign, was observe

Their this Jubilee was dictated by spirit of
loyalty, for having involved them in tine ca

attention of his subjects from the cloud

bic to say. But if we believe the anti minis.

ceivsd) distress aud penury on the one side,
arising from her efforts on the continent be-
ing completely thwarted By Bonaparte and
GU the other, distrust in the ministry and
their adherents Combined together, must e.
ventually produce something of no ordinary
nature. The accounts from Spain represent

The enemy enforced with almost all
the garrison of Saragossa, and with differ
ent Corps they Rad scattered in several DO.
s,tions on this side of the Ebro, came to
attack re Yesterday in my position before
this city. General Souchet, who has lust
succeeded Junot, wished no doubt to sig.
palIse himself by some remarkable exploit,
upon taking the command, aimed at no
Tess than the entire destruction Of the RI
sing army which his majesty has been
pleased 70 entrust to my command & to &C.
complish this object, Souchet came from
Saragossa TO command this expedition in
person, bringing Wartier and other gene.
rails with him. 1t seems that General Sou
chet had no idea of the characteristic 5ra-
very and hrmness of the Spanish troops,
and II has cost him dear to come by that
knowledge. Neither the brisk fire OF the
artillery nor their superiority ia cavalry,
which was two or three times more nume-
Tous than ours, nor the repetition Of four
attacks made with the greatest fury By
their most select infantry, could make the
br we spanish troops give one foot Of ground.
In every attack, the French met with the
most obstinate resistance, were repulsed
with very great loss and pursued to some
distance, until having found at last all their
ettempts vain, they took advantage Of the
darkness OF the night to effect a retreat.
