' destined to be the Commander.in-Chief of the This expedition appears altogether to bun the cause of much misunderstanding. .mong other extraordinary reports in circOla one is, that our King has Funds invested in the of England. Be that a; it may, misery is daily ling through the country, vmd robberies are in. creasing. The ltighaymen make their appearance. es the Sierra Morena ; and from their num. and order, bear more resemblance to detach. of regular troops than to gangs of robbers.— , these few days the Colonel of the cavalry re iment of Algarve or Tarnesio, I am not quite cer 'hich, while travelling with an escort of six dra was surprised by this banditti. They fired .iled the Colonel, upon which the escort fired. Money is growing more and more scarce, and is rapidly declining. Public credit is as bad as private, and the new Ministers know not what course to pursue, for there a farthing in the Treasury. They asked the of 4,000,000 of reals (about £40,000 sterling) the Bank of San Carlos, but the Directors ex ...a themselves. They asked an advance of eight, millions (C 80,000) from the Philippine Company, and •-ed an offer of only one-hall of that sum. The sf-eosins were at tht same time applied to for millions; but this Corporation answered, that it in a complete state of insolvency. A contribution 160,000,000 of reals (L 1,600,000) is now spoken abc ut to be levied on the whole kingdom, and at a time when it is not possible to collect the ' taxes. .n the midst of this public distress, it may appear jsliitig that the Government should carry on a ..ohsiderable number of works, which may be re garded as works of luxury, and are; at all events, - immediately necessary. But this is a matter of icy; fin. it is absolutely necessary to stop the mouths of the lmngry C'hisperos (the lower classes of Metropolis), lest their arms should be employed some other occupation. The system of imprisonment continues as usual. Canga Arguelles, formerly a Member of the Cortes, was set at liberty by the late Ministry, in conse ice of their wishing to profit by his great know in political economy, has again been thrown . dungeon. The cause of his arrest is, his hay *. prefixed tp a work on finances the following de dication z . , To his Majesty, as a proof a the author's ' 'icy.' It has been insinuated, •that the words his jest, have a double meaning, and that the author, using them, referred to the nation, and not to the . M. Canga Arguelles is accordingly punished ais supposed attempt to re•producc the damnable iocuine of national sovereignty ; and is sent t 6 prison learn to write less laconically and enigmatically. The prisoners in the Castle of Villaviciosa are watched with the greatest vigilance. The persons 'attached to the Court affect to believe, that the case prisoners is one of the greatest intricacy and .nportance. They go so far as to report, that a close correspondence has been long carried on by M. Calvo M. Gallardo with the brother of the latter, as as with other Spanish Patriots in France and England ; but this is not believed, even by those who make the assertion. • M. Galinsoga, the Alcade de Corte (a Judge), is intrusted with the preparation of the profess. It is ordered, that whatever sums of money he may want, Lble him to prosecute the investigation, to dis all the ramifications of the alleged plot , and all persons implicated in it, whether in this kingdom abroad, shall be immediately placed at his (lisp°. The process will last a long time ; and, like other charges of high treason, the result will in probability be to establish the innocence of the Eri- Ts with the ruin of their families and fortunes. OCTOBER 11.—There is a report of another ige of Ministry, but I cannot guarantee its truth." JVENT-GARDEN TIFEATRE.—Last night the late M. G. LEwts's tragic play of ildelgitha was re 'at this Theatre. The purpose of this revival to introduce Miss SOMERVILLE in the character het nine of the piece. This play, like every offspring from the pen of its Author, is marked his singular style, original genius, and horrific ncidcnts; a style abounding in lofty sentiment and imagery. The character of the heroine is, in particular, stampt with dignity of sentiment and strength of resnlation. The peculiar powers of Miss AERVU.LE are, in an especial manner, suited to, sustain the arduous character of Adelgiga. In her wife of the heroic Guiscard, the daughter of Sc found an able representative. By her the hor of repentance for early errors, and concealment rose errors, were strongly depictured. The scorn lignity with which she repressed the declaration re made to her by the perfidious Michael, were effective. The terror which she exhibited, on , scovering that Michael was in possession of her secret, her portrait, and letters: and that she , consequently completely in h;s power, excited 'veliest plaudits. But in the scene with her hus , in which she, under pretence of interceding another female, relates her own story, and hears seal her doom in the sentence he pronounces on unknown, and in her distracted accusation of air, when urged by Michad to do so, and stened unless she did, that 6:award. should be acquainted with the incident which had marked early life, elicited, and deservedly, the most -ptureus shouts of applause from the audience.— Through the whole piece, the interest of which al . entitely deperds on that which Adelgitha creates herself in the minds of the audience, Miss SOMER VILLE'S powers never failed her; and she has, by her efforts in this arduous character, established her pre tensions to fame in the most dignified characters of the Drama. Yount:, as Guisrard ; C. KEMBLE, as Lothtair • and MACREAny, as the Emperor Mi c hael, ample justice to the task assigned to them. Mrs. ,UCIT gave an interesting and forcible picture of gentle unfortunate /risme. The Play is, on the , hole, strongly tier, and the curtain fell amidst the )udest plaudits of the audience. . . I .

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon. The local intelligence which they contain is unim portant ; but there are some foreign articles of con siderable interest, which we subjoin: FROM THE MAIN, OCTOBER 19. The system of defence which has been adopted by the Military Committee of the Diet at Frankfort, and submitted to that Assembly, proposes the establish ment of several new fortresses for the Confederation on the Upper Rhine. The pa incipal one will be established, accoreing to the advice of the Committee, at Ulm, on the Da-. nube, a place already celebrated in military annals. It belongs to the King of Wirtemberg, and it will, of course, be necessary to enter into negoc iAtions with that Sovereign to induce him to give thisdesti, nation to a city which is of much importance to his kingdom. Another fortress of the Confederation will be esta blished in the Grand Duchy of Baden, but it is not yet agreed which city shall be selected for this pur pose. The Military Committee have proposed two places, between which they have left the Diet to choose; the one is Rastadt—the other Doneszhin gen. Itastidt is situated in a place, about a short league from the Rhine, and at some distance from the mountains, so that it cannot be commanded.— Doneschingen, the residence of the Prince of Fersten berz;, is situated at the foot of the Black Forest (east ward of the mountains), and surrounded with hills on which forts might be constructed. Every thing, therefore, depends oa the question, whether it is judged most proper to construct a fortress in the neighbourhood of the Rhine, or rather at the en trance of those defiles by which we enter into the in terior of Swabia after passing the chain of the Black Mountains? Two forts of the Confederation will be constructed in Rhenish Bavaria, one at Germersheim in front of Spire, the other at Hombourg between Deuv Ponts and Kayserslautern. The Allied Powers will furnish the funds for the construction of all these fortresses out of the sums destined for this purpose from the war contribution which has been paid by France. BERLIN, OCTOBER 13. Our Gazette of to-day contains an article, from which it appears that Prince Hardenberg will conti nue to be charged, in his quality cf Chancellor of State, with the general superintendence of the whole administration. The same article bears, that it is for the relief of Prince Hardenberg, and at his own soli citation, that the King has named Count Lottum to be Minister of the Public Treasury, and Comptroller- General 'of Finances, and Count Bernstorff to be Mi nister for Foreign Affairs. The public of Berlin take much interest in the po litical writings of the day, and often participate in the party differences to which they refer. One of the mos', animated controversies at present is that re specting the Noblesse. General Baron Dierike has volunteered as the apologist of his own order; but he has met with a violent adversary in another noble man, M. de Hundt-Radowsky, whom the Gene al has essayed, though with little success, to refute in the journals. Impartial men say that matters on both sides are carried a little too far; that; M.Hundt, and those who support him, express themselves with too much bitterness against the nobility, who, espe cially in the late wars of deliverance, have tendered great setviccs ; while General Dierike supports privi leges which arc no longer in season, and would grant too many advantages to a clas; of citizens, who ought to contribute to the expenses of the State in the same manner as other classes. Professor Forster has been called to account for a work which he has published, under the title " On 'the Interior Relations of Pruseia." A process has been commenced against him, and he has been pro visionally suspended from his functions. He is pre paring to publish his defence. This affair has pro duced a great sensation. Since it is now known that nothing will be done at the Congress at Air-la-Chapelle to give new con stitutions to the different States which are still without any, the interest which people here take in the Con gress is no longer the same, and they lock anxiously for the return of the King and Prince Hardenberg, from a belief that they will then turn their attention seriously to the organization of our future constitution. CARLSRUILE, OCTOBER 'S. We can now announce that all the. military mea sures which have taken place in our Grand Duchy, and which have caused co much sensation, arc at an end. It is now attempted to give another colour to the object of them ; bur there can be no doubt that it is the official declaration made by the Court of Mu nich to the Militster of Wurtemburg, which has tran claillized our Government. The Emperor Alexande,- has, we are assured, given great proofs of friendship for our Sovereign in this affair. The health of the Grand Duke is much ameliorated, and every appre hension on this head has subsided. NUREMBERG, OCTOBER 19. There has been denounced to the Univorsity of' Jena a libel which has been printed in that City un der the title of The Young German to, the German People, in which, it is said the people have been in vited to insurrection. The Srratus-Academicus has instituted the most rigorous inquiry, but as yet has been able to discover nothing. VIENNA, OCTOBER 13. A rumour has been prevalent here for some days, which has caused a good deal of speculation, that our Court is about to open a subscription for a new grand Loan. The produce of this Loan is to be employed exclusively in withdrawing the paper money from circulation, the value of which has lately somewhat improved. HAMBURGH, OCTOBER 19. A great division has broken out among the Jews in this city, relative to the mode of celebrating the ceremonies of their religion. A numerous party among them have united in constructing a Syna gogue, which has a great resemblance to a Christian Church, and the service even has some conformity with that of the Christian Churches. These dissen ters are the objects of violent aiiicaadveision on the part of the Rabbis and other Israelites attached to ancient forms. A younger brother of the celebrated banking house of Rothschild has lately espoused Mademoi selle Herz, of this City. An idea of the wealth of this family may be formed from the value of the gifts which have been distiibuted on this occasion. The sum of 25,000 florins has been distributed among the poor of all religions. Every one GI the 'numerous clerks of the house has received a gratifi cation of 100 ducats; and the presents have been extended even to the humblest domestics. The new married pair purchased a house, for 100,000 florins. M. Rothschild has now five Banking Establish- ments—at London, Frankfort, Amsterdam, Ham burgh, and Berlin, and he proposes to establish a sixth at Petersburgh. PETERSBURGH, OCTOBER S. Lieutenant-General Denison, now Iletman of the Don Cossacks, in place of Count Platoff, assumed on the 27th August possession of that dignity, Since the opening of the navigation until the 7th of last month, the number of merchant vessels which entered the port of Cronstadt was 1011, partly laden with cargoes, and partly in ballast. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPTEMBER 10. The Patriarch of this Capital has, by order of the Porte; addressed to the Metropolitan of Aleppo a letter of exhortation, in which he recommends to him to treat with more respect the Catholic Greeks who are under the protection of the Austrian Consulate. The Ministers of France and Spain have at the same time transmitted strong appeals against the arbitrary conduct of the schismatic Greeks of the East, uhich is in direct variance with existing treaties. SCHAFFHAUSEN, OCTOBER Is. The schism which the snpposed restoration of the Jesuits has occasioned in the Government and among the people of this Canton, becomes every day more confirmed. Public opinion has pronounced itself decidedly in favour of the adversaries of the Jesuits, and it is generally hoped that the measure a 'opted will be rescinded. We are assured that the Govern ments of Lucerne, Zurich, Berne, Argovia, and other Cantons, have unanimously disapproved the step; taken by our Government. French 5 per Cents, Monday, 74 fr. cJO c. A Council of the Cabinet Ministers was yesterday held at the Foreign Office, in Downing-street ; the deliberations occupied a long time. A consultation was also held at the Office of the Home Department. The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl *of LIVERPOOL, Lords MELVILLE, SIDMOUTII and BATHURST, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, attended. The Earl of LIVERPOOL arrived yesterday at Fife house from liner-castle. Yesterday his Excellency the Prussian Ambassa dor, Baron liumnotor, Counsellor BORSENIANN, and Mr. ROTHSCHILD, delivered to the Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, in the presence of Mr. Bus- NET, Notary, the deeds of mortgage, as securities for the due payment of the loan of five millions poands sterling, lately contracted for, by Mr. ROTkISCHILD, on accuunt of the Prussian Government. Cardinal CANIBACERES, Archbishop of Rouen, died there on Saturday last, at the age of 62. COLONIAL ETIQUETTE,--The Lady of a Gentleman in a high judicial situation in Demarary, in conse quell ce of asserting high claims tt) rank and precedence in the assemblies of George Town, bas produced a sort of civi: war among the Ladies there. The Lady's claims were backed by her husband, who appealed to the Governor, stating . the law of precedence in Eng land. The Governer, it seems, did not coincide with the Judge in his view c;fthe case, and some unpleasant cot responderce took place betweenthem, which ended in a re!ereAce to Lord BArI:URST. T his important business is therefore to be decided by the Secrefael Singe for Me Colonial Deportment! General ts,- mor, when Governor of Gi! , roltar, very happily settled a :Smiler dispute amens, the Ladies of the Gar rison under his command, by orderii:g that iu all cases respecting precedence in the 8011-roons, the Ladies were to take rank according to theirsexiarity.
