Commercial men are informed that the tariff on merchandize had been approved, and that conse quently reckoning . from the 16th inst. there will be no opposition to introduce by Hamburgh colonial produce remaining in Holstein, the declarations of which have been received at the Custom-house of Hamburgh, since merchants can now neither pay in specie or kind. JAN. 17.—The corps of Danish sailors, the advan , ced guard of which was reviewed on the Bth, passed this morning through Hamburgh, on their way to Antwerp. They observed on their march the greatest order and good discipline. t, DEC. 10. The confiscated Tenerife cargoes are now selling by public auction, at very high prices. Our course of exchange has improved these last past days. The yearly market at Makatna, on the Volga, was last sum mer very considerable ; goods to the amount of 30,000,000 rubles were sent thither, and the amount of the articles sold exceeded 20,000,000 rubles.

'Friday afternoon the Ktsci was considered so much recovered by his Physician; attending him, that they allowed the QUERN and Princess AUGUSTA to have an interview with him. The meeting was of course, very interesting. It being also the opinion of the Physicians that his MAJESTY might have interviews with all his family by degrees, the Duke of York left town on Saturday morning, for the purpose of seeing his Royal Father on that day or yesterday. The Duke of CUMBERLAND left town an Saturday about one o'clock, we presume for the same object. The Duke of SUSSEX arrived at Windsor Castle yesterday, at half past one. Saturday his MAJESTY appeared in public for the ' first time since the commencement of his indisposition. The weather proving very mild and fine, his Mairsry came out of Windsor Castle about twelve o'clock, at. tended by three of the Physicians, who accompanied him to the east walk of the Terrace, so as to be in full view of the Park ; they continued walking there till one o'clock, when the KING returned to the Castle to _dinner. His MAJESTY appeared in very good health, not having lost much flesh, and in high spi rits ' • conversing with the medical gentlemen the whole time. He was dressed in a blue great coat, over his mourning. The unexpected circumstance of his MAJESTY appearing in public soon spread through the town of Windsor, and crowds resorted to the Park to see him; several attempted to go on the Terrace, but were prevented by the sentinels, the order for preventing strangers from walking there continuing in force. Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, the LORD CHANCELLOR arrived at Windsor Castle, and had an audience of the KING for a considerable time. At three o'clock his Lordship set off on his return to London. Saturday morning.the QUEEN and PRINCESSES took an airing to Maidenhead and Taplow. Yesterday morning the QUEEN and Pnrwcassrs eard divine service performed in Windsor Castle. Lord RIVERS and Colonel Caret, came into wait; ng at St. James's Palace yesterday, as Lord and room of his MAJESTY'S Bed-chamber, Saturday orders were given by the VICE CHAMBER MN for the Messengers under his.controul, called the ipg's Messengers, who attend his MAJESTY hen in .wn, to take the official bores and dispatches to the .üblic. offices; ice. to attend the Puma litcoan upon e same duty. ii i :Veterday morning the PRINCE REGENT tont an air in his carriage.

' The dispatches received last week from Lord Wu, LING•roN, dated the 19th ultimo, were published in the Gazette of Saturday. The dispatches mentioned in our last to have been received from his Lordship, are dated foul- days later. They do not mention any movement of importance, and upon the whole, their contents are, we under. *stand, not discouraging. With all the reinforce. ments received by the enemy, the relative force of the opposing armies, is fully as favourable for the allies as before the battle of Busaco ; and it is hoped, that by the time Lard WELLINGTON shall have received the reinforcements new going out, his army will be 1 equal in number to that of the enemy. We have a variety of printed. journals and private letters from the the Army to the 2d instant inclusive. Their general contents are vague, and of little Im portance. Four soldiers, detected in plundering the inhabitants, were hung in sight of the Army, and one who had attempted to desert to the enemy, was shot in front of his regiment. Several desertions have lately taken place from the Chasseurs Britanniques, who form part of the British army at Cadiz ; the regiment has consequently been removed to Lisbon. The following ships of war were lying in the Tagus when the last accounts came away : viz. DMA.. NOUGMT, BARFLEUR, MARS, ABERCRO2dB/E, NPR; TUEUX, ZEALOUS, POICTIERS, and AGINCOURT, of the line ; ST. FIORENZO frigate, NORTR STAR sloop, and GROWLER gun•brig. The Lisbon Gazette of 24th January, after copy ing from the Spanish papers the detailed account of the action of Uldicoua, has the following reflection : 64 The unfortunate result of the action at Uldicona, on the 2Gth November, and that at Baza on the 3d of the same month fought by the army of Murcia, cannot but suggest the following reflection : Ng The Spanish 'Juntas having been elected on the sudden, and obliged to act at the same moment, formed armies likewise on the sudden, and con,equent ly were obliged to creail a great number of absolutely new Officers. Many of these were certainly good sol diers, but many others from ignorance, cowardice, or other causes, totally unfit to command the men over whom they were placed, and give them the firmness and discißlinc so indispensibly requisite. It appears, therefore, absolutely necessary that the Spanish Gene rals should dismiss from the service all officers who are not qualified for their duty, for the spirit of the people and soldiers in Spain is excellent. LISBON, JANUARY 30. Besides the notice mentioned in the extract from Wellington's dispatch respecting General Junot, there are others given, from which we can prove he was wounded —A French soldier, taken prisoner on the right bank of the Zezere, has made a deposition, in which he declares, that on the 24th the Duke, who had been wounded by a ball in the head, was interred at Thomar, and at whose funeral allthe Officers assisted. It appears by this to be Junot who had the title of Duke. We have also received letters from Corunna to a late date. The following is an Extract : " CORUNNA, JANUARY 25. 44 I avail myself of a schooner's going to England, to send you all the news I can muster. We are much disappointed here in not receiving a large reinforce ment, which we were some time ago given to under stand was coming to our assistance. The enemy are receiving large reinforcements, and are accumulating all round us in great numbers. In short, unless we receive speedy aid, I fear this place will once more fall into their hands. I have seen a letter of a recent date from Bayonne, which states that nearly the whole of the veteran infantry corps in the French service, are marching for the Peninsula by different routes, and that their places in the garrisons, 84c. from whence they are taken, are supplied by conscripts. Our allies seem almost tired of defending their own cause. The enemy, on the contrary, are acting with greater vigour and success than at any time since they invaded the peninsula." The Manifesto of the Cortex, given in another co lumn, is an interesting article, and deserving of an attentive perusal. Letters from Cadiz state, that on the night of the nd December, the boats of Sir RICHARD Kam' squadron attacked a three.gun battery, which they spiked, killed three men, and took three prisoners; with a loss, on our part, of two men wounded. On the 26th, the gun and rocket-boats of the squadron made a fierce attack upon the town and place where the French gun-boats rendezvous. There were about 20 in the place, which, upon our apponch, they drew up *. into the bt:shes," upon wheels. .The firing, how ever, was kept op for an hour and a half, which de. of;Toyed four of the gun-boats, and must have killed many of the French party. CONGAEVE'*rockets were supposed to have been thrown with great effect, We had one man hurt by the bursting of a gun. Mr. Sirnoxo, an American Courier, 'has arrived at Ya r mouth, from St. Petersburgh, charged with dis patches from tbe American . Minister at that Court to Mr, r aikszv.

The reinforcements for Lisbon, on board the Beet under Sir JOSEPH Yoaire, have at length sailed from Torbay, with a fair wind at E.N.B. But those from Portsmouth and Plyniouth, for the same destination, had not sailed at the date of our last letters, received t . i, m• r ling. , Many Staff Officers have arrived from Lisbon, and among others— Sir Stapietoa Cotton, Motor-General Leith, Brigadier-Generals Coleman sad Cranford, Marquis offweedale, Marquis of Wor- meter, Lord Hay, Lord Edward Somerset, the Hon. Cochrane Johnstone, the Hon. A. Berkeley, CoNed heLeod, Major Mac _ _ . gregor Murray, Captains Perceval, Dudley, and Hay, Dr. Dimes. ty, and many others. One hundred recruits for the 23d Dragoons, and the same number for the e 2sth, have embarked at the Is{/of Wight for India. Many recruits are going out by the fleet now collecting. The 611th Light Infantry Regiment has marched from Arundel to Lewes barracks. The Bedford Militia have marched to Little Hamp ton•and Bognor barracks. The Egyptian ophthalmia having disappeared nearly in the country, the barracks at Hilsea, which have hitherto been occupied by sick with this pesti. fence, have been given up to the Barrack Board for troops. We hear that the depot for training 20,000 Spanish • troops, after the British system, under Colonel WHIT. TINGHAM, is at Majorca, nut at Minorca as we stated. We are glad to hear, that it is determined to clothe, arm and discipline (and we hope appoint with British Officers) 20,000 mere Spanish troops in another in sular situation, from whence, when perfect in disci. pline and appointments as an army, they can be sent to act wherever they can be most useful to the corn. mon cause. The names of different Officers are handed about to fill the same situations in the Spanish service which Marshal Sir WILLIAM CARR BlUlRsroan does in the Portuguese service. blajor-GeneralWicrumt,theLieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, has got the battalion of the 60th regi ment, vacant by the appointment of General KEPPEL to the two battalions of the 67th regiment. By this promotion General WHETHAM% majority of the first Foot Guards goes among the Officers of the corps. We understand that the PRINCE'S appointment of dee Aids-du-Camp gives satisfaction in the army— most of them have seen much service. A detachment of the 47th Regiment of Foot has been ordered to proceed from Bury to the army depot, Isle of Wight, and will march on Wednesday, the 13th instant, to Banbury ; 14th, to Woodstock ; 15th, through Oxford to Abingdon ; 16th, to Ilsley ; and 18th, to Newbury, kc. Captain thus, of the 85th Regiment, succeeds Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Evan, (who is removed to the Northern District) as Brigade Major at Gos port. Lieutenant-Colonel EVANS will be stationed at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Tuesday forenoon, about 450 French prisoners were landed at Leith, and marched through Edin burgh, under an escort of the Ross-shire militia and a party of dragoons, to Pennycuick ; and on Wed nesday another division of prisoners, about the same number, were landed and marched into Edinburgh Castle, from whence they marched next morning to Pennycuick. The outrage at Arundel as mentioned in the STAR of Saturday, was committed by a party of the 68th Regiment, more than 30 in number, headed by some officers, who, armed with bludgeons, attacked the in habitants, many of whom were ill-treated. The drums of the Volunteers beat to arms, when the sol diers retreated to the barracks. The next day, three officers and a corporal were sworn to as being con cerned ; two of the offending officers and the corporal were committed to Horsham jail, and a Captain found bail.—A reward of £5O was offered for their identification, and the Volunteers patroled the town for the two remaining nights during which the regi ment remained. Fifteen of the inhabitants were se verely hurt. Thursday night the inhabitants of Winchester were alarmed by a quarrel of some soldiers belonging to the 74th regiment (which were marching through on their route to Portsmouth) with some of the inhabi tants, at a public-house. fhe aid of the City Volun teers was required to assist the constables in restoring the peace of the City, which was happily done. Two of the soldiers were confined in the City Bridewell, but we=e liberated the next morning, and proceeded on their march with the regiment. The Volunteers were under arms the whole of the night. The Catholics of Ireland have once more voted a Petition to Parliament for a redress of their grievances. The Petition will be presented forthwith to both Houses of ?Aliment.
