far from a storm Of civil nature; every
thing portencs it; and at present there is
III fact 10 government, the whole Of the
ministers having refused to serve any
longer, and Mr. Ferdinand does not like
e. return to Madrid. Therefore you may
be assured that some catastrophe will soon
take place, un.ess it is prevented by the

LATE ARRIVAL FROM LIVERPOOL.

LATE ARRIVAL FROM LIVERPOOL
By our marine list it will be seen.
thai the ship Tobacco Plant, Capt Bald
wrn, arrived in Hampton Roads last
nj mt, 10 IL days passage from Liverpool.
J'rom the circumstance Of capt. Bald
wins having heretofore, communicated
W in this port in a few hours after his
arrival in the Roaas, and usually brought
papers for the printing offices here, We
are inclined TO believe that some partic-
ular reasons exist for his omission Of
these friendly attentions on the present
occasion. Several opportunities have Of
fered from the Roads, but we still hear
nothing from him, and we understand
that the ship has proceeded up James
River for City Point,
From the passage reported, the Tobac-
co Plant must have left Liverpool about
the 2lst Sept, the day on which the Orion
sailed, and yet we find no mention made
OF her in the report from that ship. In
plain truth, we conjecture that capt B. is
in possession of some intelligence respect
ing the English markets, later than our
adyices by the Orion, and which a due
regard to The interest of his commercial
friends up the river, duees him to with.
ho,d until lie reaches his pert Of desti-
nation.

LAW REPORT.

BILL OF EXCHANGC.-iH NE r1OADG"
THEREOF PRESUMED THE oW : Err,
UNTIL THE CONTRARY BE PROVED.
The holder thereof discharged. from neglect
in presenting, uhsre the bill IS put in etrcu-
lotion.
The suit was brought by the plaintiffs a.
rainst the defendants, endorsers OF foreign
bill of exchange which was returned from
Eng land. protested both for non acceptance
and non payment.
The plaintiffs right 10 recover is opposed
by several grounds Of defence. LIST That
they are no, the owners Of the bill. End,
That they have been guilty OF lachss
or culpable negligence in having presented
il too late TO the drawees for acceptance. Sd.
tia, there was no demand Of payment
On the first objection the court decided,
that as they appeared to be holders by re-
gular endorsement, they must likewise be
presumed to be owners until the contrary be
proved. To support their second objection
the defendants urged that by evidence in the
case il was established That other bills had
been accepted and paid ny the drawees,
which were drawn posterior to the one in
question. But" said the court, sit does
Aut follow as necessary consequence that
because the holders Of these bills have
been more diligent than the appeIIees that
the latter have been guilty Of such la.
ches. as must according to the lawamerchant
exoners te the endorsers from their liability"
The court then declared that it was settled
that the course of conduct to he pursued by
holders of bills in order to exonerate them
from the charge OF neglect, was a question
of law to be determined by the court, and
cited the case of Muctman VS.. D'Equiao, I'd
vol. III. Blackstone 565. Where Butler,
Judge, declared that 'the only certain rule
that can be laid down as 10 laches, With re-
gard 10 bills payable at sight, Or certain
time after sight, is that they ought to be put
in circulation. !ttbis be done las was the
case with the bill en- which this action j,
fvunded) it appears thai the lime between
the period OF drawing and presenting tlr ex-
ceptance may be very considerable without
any just charge Of negligence against the
holders"
Ii was ia evidence That the usual course
OF bills drawn IN New Orleans on England
was first 10 the Atlantic states to be nego-
ciated, from whence they were sent 10 their
final destination. Aud upon the whole,
said The court We are oi oplnr0n that no ZACH
es is attributed to tee piaisltts N relation
to their demand vi acceptance on The draw
er."
The court did not examine The third oh.
lection, on account vi "the holder OF bill
OF exchange having rigb; 10 resor, to the
drawers and endorsers Immediately on lis
protest for non acceptance and as it Is be-
ileved that this right Is not invaildated by
retaining the bill until lis maturity end the
demanding payment"

LAST NIGHTS NAIL.

WAsHINoroN, Oct. i0.-n appeurs from
the Federal Gazette, that there i, AT least one
person who disapproves of the late tIsnslc-
tons at Pensacola, relative 10 Il arrest Gf
Col Callaya. We shall not quarrel with ms,
for that, being of the belief thai every man h,s
clear right 10 his own opinion. But why
should IRE be blau,ed, for v.uturin. ours !. VS.
wish the affair had never taken place !; but we
cannot undertake to ccnsre "A procee,li.i:
which intelligent Americans on the spot cor
cur in approving. The mistake of those who
most find fault on this occasion. appears To Le
IN considering Col. Caava as the Representa-
tive of the Spanish government whereas tx,
fact is, that, If he had amy ccnlmi. sioi,
from his government To act as such after the
surrender of Pensacola, it was not made known
to general Jackson, OF to our government.
He stood in the same Ugh as other pri,at, G..
tiZens, and enjoyed no immunity which ali Gid
not.
With regard to the case of Judge Fromen-
tin, alluded to by the writer in the Gazette, we
have not the materials upon which 10 form 4
decided opinion.
1t Is very certain thatthe powers ola Spar
ish Governor aud Captain General, devoved
ON Gen. Jackson by the act of Congress, are
very extensive, and incompatible with our
notions of the necessary separation of the
powers of go,ernnent--ali of which, il is said,
a Spanish Governor unites in his own person
and, acting in Il judicial capacity, we can con-
ceivc that Gen. Jackson had IN authority
which it was not for Judge FronIcntin to re-
siSt This, however, depends on the extent Of
the powers of the late Spanish Governor. with
which VIC are not sufficiently acquainted Il,
speak with any certainty. The writer in ths.
Gazette says authortativcly, and apparently
from direct information, that it is not true that
Judge Fromentin acknow iedged that he hao
not the right, or was not bonnd, to issue the
habeas corpus. On. this point we can only
say, if Judge Fromentin has been unjustly or
illegally dealt with by the Governor, he has
the ability, aud we doubt not the disposition
too, 10 cause his rigntitd authority to be res
pectcd. Nat Int.
