The Project was ne iieJ, on the 20th ultimo, in the Second Chamber he States, by a majority of 39 to 36. BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY :1 the Sitting of the Second Chamber of the States on Friday, the 20th,.the debate began upon l'roject of a Law which enacts penalties for in to foreign Powers. His Excellency the _Minister 7 Foreign Affairs spoke first. Several Members both fo: and against the Project. The debate adj.,;:tned, and resumed in the evening, several e . ; delivered their opinions, and his Ex y the Minister of Justice made a concluding !.(11 to defend the necessity and object of the Law. U President having declared the discussion r;,I, the question was put to the vote, the result 7.iich was, that $6 Members voted for, and S 9 t the Projet. It was consequently resolved by t i,amber, to request his Majesty to take the Pro :in que,tion into further consideration. VIENNA, IiESRUARY 11. report was spread at the beginning of the week z there had been an insurrection at Naples, and . ..:•he Royal Family had quitted the Capital ; we jtlst learned with certainty that these reports :-cagy exaggerated, and that the whole is re- to ar. affray which took place in a little town 7.; :riles from the Capital, between the militia and treguiar tro , ,ps ; they fought with great fury on 6sides--night hardly separated the combatants. iollcm;ng ility order was pefectly re-established. PEILRiBURGH, FEBRUARY 4. celebrated Hetman of the Cossacks, and Ge ai Cavalry, Count Platoff, lately died at No- The Grand Duke Nicholas has arrived from Nos- It is said that the Emperor will make but a aay in this capital. The Cadiz Mail has brought intelligence of a kind nnexpected, and which amounts to a most di rt and ur.cqulv.,cal admission, on the part of the tvernment, that, is every thing that related to their :rr:nercial System, the interests of the Colonists .een invariably sacrificed to those of the mer- I.:1:E cf Old Spain. By these letters, which are from Cadiz of the 6th, from Madrid of the 11th ult. it appears, that the cf Spain had come to the r,.....01uti0n of esta g four free ports in the l'enii,sula, viz. Cadiz, Azdero, Corunna, and Alicant, v!here all kinds of ''zri goods will be admitted free of duties, and rzfA to be re-exported to all parts of S;,utli Ame- paying only 3 per cent. at the iime of being tt•tsported. This resolution has 1.) , n adopted in uence of a strong representation from the Ca tfrchant.;, who, by time and fatal experience, • %;.! , 11 induced to acknowledge their error in in 't cc , . the observance of their antiquated laws of Itadies, ct Colonial regulations; at the same time t they End themselves compelled to suggest and Irzt scrr-e plan, in order to counteract the ship :rade by foreigners and " other smugglers" I:e7 call them) to the trar,atlantic provinces, as 1- ;ite in-,' citations effected by virtue of privi cacc, granted to individuals, the whole of to be detrimental to the interests of tttchants residing in the Peninsula. 11 of this intelligence created some sensa ±Z City on Saturday, where the new Spanish J., :ton was mentioned in a very vague manner, zorn it expectations were formed favourable to s'nlnerce of this country. It certainly is a flow tl the Vera Cruz licenses, but we would where else is it in Spanish America, that the Z l 4i car. make shipments direct? Under the existing state of things in the Mexican provinces, where goods are escorted from the landing port to the capital with 1000 men, Spanish trade is very small, the remainder of the Continent is supplied through other channels. Foreign Merchants will not therefore be deluded by.this snare. The measure was concerted between Minister GARAY and the Public Companies of Spain, and resorted to as a financial scheme, with a view to enable the Government to fit out the Russian Squa dron and the other proji-cted armaments against South America. The execution of the project has been confided to La Direction General de Rentas, a subordinate department under the Finance Minister, %%hose dispatch, communicating the Royal Order to I the Cadiz Consutado, is in town. In the same letters it is positively asserted, that a Treaty or Convention has been concluded between Spain and the United States, whereby the two Flori das are to be ceded to the latter, either in exchange of Louisiana, which, in such case, would revert to the domiujon of Spain, or for a certain sum of money to be agreed upon between the two parties, hut, it is added, under the condition that such cession or ex change of territory shall meet the approbation of the British Government. AMERICA. - This morning we received Boston and New York Papers, both to the 6th ultimo. They mention as a report, the death of INCLEDON, the singer,occasioned by the rupture of a blood-vessel. The deaths at Charleston, during the last season of the yellow fever, were 264. The following were the value of exports from Bos ton during the last year.—Of domestic produce, 4,291,398 dollars ; of foreign productions, 5,313,194 dollars ; total, 9,634,592 dollars. SPANISH AMERICA. In the Boston Commercial Advertiser of the sth of February, we meet with the following brief notices on affairs to the Southward : " News from New Grenada states, that the new Viceroy had officially notified that he could no lon ger sustain the kingdom in consequence of disasters experienced by his parties on the Plains of Casenane ; that Morillo had threatened to execute one of his Generals for having retreated with 5000 men before SOO Independents ; that on the 6th October the Inde pendents had defeated the Royalists and captured the Province of Pampluna ; that in Carthagena the Spa niards were preparing for an expected siege." " A Gentleman from Panama informs, that the Independent Army of Chili had landed in Peru, to join the powerful armies from Buenos Ayres ; that the Royal Army in Peru had been routed; and that the . Patriot Armies were in triumphant march for Lima: that Cases had already become independent, • which had excited great alarm in Lima; that the ports of Lima and Guayaquil were closely blockaded by the Patriots, whose vessels had appeared off Panama, and it was supposed their flag will fly in triumph from Cape Horn to the North point of Venezue:a within six months. Accounts from St. Mary's to the 20th ultimo state, that Commodore Ara( still remained at Amelia, but was making preparations to embark, with all his naval forces and effects. It was, however, thought by some, that the Island would be restored to him, as soon as a fair representation of his pro ceedings could be made to our Government:— What other result can be expected from such a re presentation than that which followed the appeal of the Lamb to the Wolf ? Yesterday Divine Service was performed at Carl ton-House, by the Rev. F. W. BLOMBERG and the Rev. Dr. S. CLARKE. Friday evening the Duke and Duchess of Gr.ou rEsTrit gave a grand entertainment at Gloucester house, Piccadilly, to the QUEEN, the PRINCE RE GENT, &c.

The Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND was safely de livered of a still born male child, at half-past seven o'clock on Friday evening, at his Grace's house in St. James's-square. The Countess of MARCH was safely delivered of a son and heir at half-past six o'clock on Friday even ing at Richmond House. The Prince cf HEssE HOMBERG visited the QUEEN and the Princesses AUGUSTA and ELIPABETH on Sa turday and yesterday. He dined with the Marquis of SALISaURY on Saturday, and in the evening went to the Opera. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.--Saturday the Opera of Zuma was repeated, and, as usual, attracted a most brilliant and respectable audience. The Songs were mostly encored, particularly the beautiful Echo Duet between Miss STEPHENS and Mr. BRAHAM, and his admirable and truly appropriate song " Peruvians wake to glory." The latter was sung three times, and excited the loudest and most rapturous applauses of the audience, which continued for some time after the song was ended.—The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER arrived at the Theatre nearly at the conclusion of the Opera, when " Goo save the King" was called for, and sung in the most effective style by BRAHAM and Miss STEPHENS,assisted by the whole of the vocal strength of the House. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETYr.-The first Concert for the present season, commenced on Monday last, with an admirable Selection of Music.—Mr. WEICHSEL led the band with his usual spirit and accuracy, and the room was crowded with rank and ashiun.

I have seen but a few of the papers, as the people who found them were unwilling to part with them, without a recompence for their trouble. Amongst the papers I understand are several Bills of Exchange and Powers of Attorney, directed to people in Lon don and Scotland.

A chimney in Carlton House was on fire yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock : the flames were soon extinguished by means of wet blankets and buckets of water. A fireman was admitted to see that every spark of fire was completely put out. A fire broke out on Friday night, about nine o'clock, in the Woollen Manufactory of Mr. WILLIAM Woon, jun. in the Willow-Holme, near Carlisle, which raged with such irresistible violence, that in two hours the whole of the interior of the building, with nearly all its contents, fell a prey to the devouring element, not withstanding hundreds collected on the spot and ren dered all possible assistance : the origin of the fire has not as yet been ascertained.

The Army Estimates for the current year are less than those of last year by the sum of 188,0271.195. Sd. Tuesday, the detachment of the 14th regiment, - which lately arrived at Portsmouth from the Medi terranean, in the Thoma, and Mary, was disem barked and marched to Chichester. Thursday part of the 35th regiment marched from Winchester, for Hilsea barracks, and the remainder followed next day for the same destination. The 64th Regiment has embarked at Plymouth, and remains wind-bound, for Gibraltar. The sth Battalion, 60th Regiment, will return home to be disbanded. We have good authority for stating that the 91st, 92d, and 93d Regiments, as already announced, are to be formed into Highland Light Infantry, and will not come within the reduction. By the latter arrange ment the Government will secure the services of de cidedly some of the first and best class of men in the Army: of this we have an instance in the 93d, com manded by Colonel OMAGH :—during a period of two years and five months, that this noble Regiment has been dispersed, in the word of times, in not less hthan twenty-two different parts in the Counties of Li merick, Tipperary, and Glare, these has not been a case of complaint against the corduct cf an Officer or Soldier, except in one solitary instance, and the individual in question was immediately removed.— Punishment and desertion are not known in the Corps ; and what is equally honourable, there is scarce a man in the Regiment sixpence in debt. INDIA. - MADRAS, SEPT. SO.—We have received letters from Hyderabad of the 20th, by which we are happy to learn that the health of his Excellency the Commander in Chief (Sir T. Hislop) continues to improve very ra pidly. On the previous day he had taken an airing in his palanquin, and we liope in a few days to an nounce his complete restoration to health. The Ge neral was not expected to leave the Residency before this date. In the mean time the different columns are on their march to form their respective divisions of the army in the fi e ld ._ From die banks of the Beemah we have some ac counts of the movements of troops. A vast quantity of rain had fallen in that part of the Deccan. The river had risen considerably, and a great number of cattlehad perished from the inclemency of the weather. Madras was visitec4 early an Tuesday morning last, by one of the most awful and tremendous thun der storms we ever remember to Lave observed. The lightning was extremely vivid, nut we are happy to state that, as far as our enquiries go, no material damage was occasioned by it. A tree at the St. Thome Tank was struck and shivered. An immense quantity of rain fell during the storm. The weather has since been serene, but extremely sultry. Ocroaaa 7.—Letters of the Bth ulrimd, from the Most Noble the Governor-General's fleet, lead us to believe that head-quarters will be established at Cawnpore on the 10th ultimo. The third division of the Bengal army had received orders to hold itself in readiness to take the field by the 15th. An army of reserve was to form at Calpee, were the Marquis of Hastings will fix his head-quarters during the time the army is in the field. His Lordship had en joyed the best health during the voyage. The gal lant veteran General Sir 1). Ochterloney is to com mand the third division. We- are happy to hear that the sickness at Jessore has considerably abated. The epidemic is said to have been occasioned principally by an immoderate use•of sable fish. DURLIS, FEBRUARY 23. Thursday last, at three o'clock, in celebration of her MAJESTY'S Birth-day, his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT held a Levee at the Castle, which was most numerously attended by all the Nobility and other personages of rank at present in t:iis city. In the evening their Excellencies the LORD LIEUTENANT and the Countess of TALsor, had a ball and supper, at which every person who could claim any rank or distinction in the country was present. Miss KELLY,—It is in the recollection of our Rea ders that Miss KELLY Was violently assailed in Lon don, by a deperate enthusiast. We ieg7et to state, that a similar fatality has befallen her Lyre, as on Sa turday last—a young man of wild appearance, as we are informed, liillowed her horn:, though per fectly unknown to her, as it appears, anti whose con duct was so strange, as to mind, as to resemble that of the person we nave already mentioned in London. In the present state of this affair, we do not feel:autho rised to go into further detail.—Lublin Journal. yORN-EXCIIIINGE,.MARK 7 LANE, MARCII 2.
