One of the latter states that Prussia is about to endeavour to esta blish an intercourse with the South American States, and has appointed a Consul at Buenos Ayres. The following are extracts: ST. PETERSBURGIT, JANUARY 19. The Emperor has been pleased to grant to the Mi nister of Finance, M. Crancin, an estate in Courland, for fifty years, the annual revenue of which is twenty thousand rubles. WARSAW, JANUARY 17. Mr. Stratford Canning arrived here yesterday, on his way to Sr. Petersburgfi. BRUSSELS, J A/WA RY 31. We learn that Prussia is one of the States of the Continent which endeavoursto establish an intercourse with the South American States, and has appointed M. John Eschenberg to the office of Prussian Consul at Buenos Ayres. HAGUE, FEBRUARY S. We learn that the Members of the First Chamber of the Svates General are summoned to attend at Brussels, on the 1 , ,t of March, to deliberate on the project of law relative to the cuwrency of French coin in the Southern Provinces, as well as the other projects'of law adopted by the Second Chamber. ST. PETERSBURGH, JANUARY 15. PROM THE JOURNAL DI FRANCFORT FRB. 2. A great quantity of silver coin has arrived from the provinces of the interior, in consequence of which, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund have received a million of rubles in silver, for their operation. A letter from New Archangel and the isle of Sitka, says, that our American commerce is in the most flou riAing state. Evei y thing prospers, and the Colony live in peace and friendship with the neighbouring sa vage tribes. The commercial relations with Calefornia become more and more important, and by the care of Captain Murauiew, Commander in-Chief of our Ame rican Colonies, the navigation is in the most favourable 'situation. Last year, vaccine matter was brought for the first time from Ochotsk and Sitka, and the Alen tians were vaccinated with great succe..s. The vaccine has also been introduced into Calefornia. The French Papers of Sunday, and the Etoik of Monday, have reached us. The KING of England's Speech, and the change of Ministers in Lisbon, are the , 1 two topics on which they expatiate. The Etoile, which seemed to feel most sensibly our recognition of the South American States, now consoles itself and France in discovering that our recognition of them is a matter of no'moment to us or to them, and that it can lead to no important consequences as respects the other Eu ropean Powers. With regard to the change of the Cabinet in Portugal, the same paper has found out that it will turn to the advantage of the Holy Alliance. In the Quotidienne we find a letter, dated Lisbon, the 23d ult. which contains some details respecting the late change of Ministry, and the character of the new Mi nisters. The dismissal of the late Cabinet is ascribed, not to English influence, but to internal disunion ; and Sir W. A'COURT is stated not to have known of the change till late in the day when it took place. Ptrr /moo, who was Minister in the time of the Cortes, is stated to have refused his new appointment, from a fear of exciting the hostility of the Royalists. Tonnes, who is appointed Minister of Niro ine, is described as a man little known in Portugal, and not much acquainted with public affairs; while great praise is bestowed on Mawr, the new Minister of Finance. This Paper beseeches the Holy Alliance to be firm, and England will abandon the trans-Atlantic States as she abandoned the Penin sula two years ago. The Editor evidently knows little of the character of the English or its Government. Our recognition of the South American States is not a rash or ill-judged measure, but one naturally arising out of events which had been long ago foreseen. A communication from Madr id, dated January 27, states, that the Spanish Government had presented a note to the English Charge d'Affaires, in which it pro tested against the steps which Great Britain had taken, or might take, to recognise directly or indirectly, in the " American possessions of Spain, any authority, save that of the legitimate King, FERDINAND VII." The British Charge d'Affaires (alto is said to have kept away for a fortnight, when the rest of the Diplomatic Body paid their respects to the King), immediately dis patched a courier to London, to convey this protest to our Government. M. 'LEA BERMUDEZ had also sent one to Paris, it was supposed with a similar commission. The Constitutionnel,in its remarks on the Lords Com missioners' Speech, ascribes the agitation of the Catho lics of Ireland to an " occult influence," of which, hoe - ever, it observes, " it might not be difficult to point out the origin." " We know," it adds, " that the Jesuits are at work actively in Ireland. On this subject we pos sess some important information, of which we intend to make use." This information will be interesting on this side of the Channel, and we therefore hope, that the Constitutionnel will redeem its pledge. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

The Marchioness Dowager of SALISBURY'S Assembly took place on Monday evening, and Salisbury House, in the Green Park, was lighted up for the first time this season. Owing to the inclemency of the night, the assemblage was not so great as usual... Mr. VAUGHAN, his Britannic MAJESTY'S Envoy to the Swiss Confederation, has arrived at Paris. His Excellency is at the Hotel Maurice, Rue St. Honore. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS has been confined to his bed for several days past, with a severe fit of the gout ; but we are happy to hear that the excellent Baronet is fast recovering. It is rather a singular coincidence that the family of VESTRIS compose a moiety of all the talent of the Italian Opera House in its various departments : Madame VE,TRIS, Mad.

[For Military Promotions see neat me.] COVENT•GARDEN THEATRE. -.40,-- Another fashionable audience was last night attracted to this house, to witness the repetition of the comedy of The Belle's Stratagem, in which Miss Fool's again per formed the heroine of the May, Letitia Hardy. She - was received with most enthusiastic cheering, and though affected considerably by the kind and sympathetic feelings of the audience, she soon recovered her self% nossession, and entered fully into the spirit of the character. In the song, " My face is my fortune," &c. her archness was irresistible, and she was honoured with an encore. We must not forget the grace and agility she displayed in the Minuet de la Cour, which she danced with Mrs. FINING. CHARLES KEMBLE, as Doricou't ; Mr. JONES, as Flutter; and Mrs. Glass, as Mrs. Racket, did not suffer the piece to flag for a mo ment, and at its conclusion the curtain fell amidst loud and general applause. NAVAL IN7'ELLIGENCE.

In the course of the business yesterday, in the Court of Chancery, the Loan CNANCELLOIL said that there was no truth in the report of a certain Nobleman having realised the sum of ,C 160,000 by the purchase and sale of Mexican Mine shares. His Lordship further mentioned, that reports of this nature were cir. coined by interested persons, with the view of deceiving the public and profiting by the credulity of the latter. A Hamburgh Paper says, that Sir WALTER SOHTT intends making a four in Sweden and Norway. in order to make himself acquainted with the localities and customs of countries where he has laid the scene of a new work, which he is writing. After a severe struggle, Mr. WHITBY was yesterday elected a Common Councilman for the Ward of Viutry. A scut-1 tiny, however, was demanded, and ordered. At a Court held at the Trinity House, on Monday last, Capt. JOHN WOOLMORE was unanimously elected Deputy Master of that Corporation, in the room of Capt. JOSEPH COTTON, deceased. Sunday, the King of FRANCE received Lord and Lady Sarron and family, at a private audience.

Mr. kIaTHIWS will commence a new Entertainment at the same 'fheatre the latter end of. this month or the beginning of March. Mr. Maynaws is now studying the Entertainment. During the last Parliamentary Recess, WHITE'S Club House has undergone considerable embellishments, particillarly the large Room, one of the finest in England. The windows have been fitted up with the new satin merino damask, with draperies on the most extentive scale; the colours tastefully harmonising with the walls and enrichments of the ceiling. Yesterday, the dispatches were dosed at the East India House and delivered to the Pursers of the following ships, viz. —Kent, Captain Coss; Scaleby Castle, Captain Nawatz, for Bengal and China; and Kellic Castle, Captain ADAMS, for Bombay and China. The high tides of Wednesday and Thursday last in undated the greater pat t of the Essex, Suffolk, and Nor folk Coasts; and committed extensive savages along the wnole line. Lieutenant Gioacz LINDESAY, R.N. has lately in vented a machine, which he terms a " Marine Cir cuitoo," by which means he can place our largest ships of war in any position, immediately, when ships are dis masted in action, or attacked by gun-boats in a calm. Yesterday morning, soon after three o'clock, a fire was discovered at Norland House., a spacious mansion on the Uxbridge road, opposite to Holland House. In a few hours the whole building was reduced to ashes.— Not a single at ticle of furniture was saved. A young Gentleman belonging to the family, who had been at the play, came home about one o'clock, but did nut immediately retire to bed. On leaving the room in which he had been sitting; to go up stairs, he heard a crackling, as of burning wood, and, on ascending the stairs, discovered the upper part of the building on hre. Fortunately, the whole of the numerous family were enabled to escape, but with such haste, that not a single article of apparel, except what they could hurry was saved. conoNEMS INQUEST- • An Inquisition was this morning taken before THO 3. STIRLING, Esq. at the Board-room of St. Giles's ‘Vo: house, on the body of John Claypon, "whose death WAS the result of violence used towards him by his wife, - Elizabeth Claypon, who is now ift custody to abide the result of this inquiry. John Taylor stated, that he resided at No. 5, Laseelles•court, Broad-street, Bloomsbury ; the deceased and his wife resided in the room under witness, and about twelve o'clock on Saturday night he heard a noise as if they were quarrelling, and shortly afterwards he heard the street door opened, and shut again ; in a little time after he heard a cry that the man was killed, and his wife went down stain; he followed some time after, and found the deceased man lying in a gore of blood. Mary Taylor, wife of the former witness, confirmed his testi. stony, and in addition thereto stated, that site believed they lived together on good terms. The deceased's wife was generally a sober woman, but witness believes that on Saturday night both of them were intoxicated. About twelve o'clock on that night, witness went into their room, and saw them sitting by the fire, apparently on good terms with each other. They had some steaks, beer, Ste. for supper, of which they were about to partake. Short!) , after witness retired to bed, where she bad not been long before the heard a noise as if they were quarrelling, which was succeeded by a cry of " Oh ! Mary, come down, for the man is in a gore of blood." This was followed by an exclamation from the prisoner, of " Oh! my Geo, I have killed my husband !" Wit ness went down stairs, and found the woman in the cuitody of some watchmen, and the man lying dead, weltering in his blood. The unhappy woman appeared to be in great agony, and kept clapping her hands and exclaiming against herself. She was shortly after taken to the watch-home, and witness teturned to her room. In answer to an inquiry front a Juror, the wittiest !•tatet: that she had no reason to believe that any jealousy existed on the part of the ;lei soner, or that any cause had been given kr it by the deceased.— The deceased had lived in the house about severs months. Richard Ogilvie, surgeon, litissell.street, Bloomsbury, stated, that he yesterday examined the body of the deceased by direction of the parish officers, and that he found two severe wounds on the skull, one of which had prodoced a fracture of about an inch and a half in length, and an inch in breadth, and had pressed part of the skull inward upon the brain. There were Other wounds on dif ferent parts of the upper part of the body, which witness is satisfied must have been produced by distinct and repeated blows with some hearty instrument; those on the head, he is satisfied, were the immediate cause of death. The Beadle here produced the poker, tongs, shovel, broom, and other implements found lying in the room, and which were thought calculated to have been used In inflicting the fatal blows. One of them, a large and strong made shovel, was broken in two, but none of them exhibited any stains of blood. Mr. Stephenson, surgeon of High -street, Thoomsbury, stated, that he was called in to attend the deceased about one o clock on Sunday morning, and that he found hint quite dead. There was a spade lying' on the floor of the room, with which witness thought the fracture to have been inflicted. There were ether wounds about his head, but it was the fracture which had occasioned death. ' Mr. Webb, assistant to Mr. Ireland, stated, that he was the first professional man who saw the bodyof the deceased, and he found him dead. A quantity of blood had flowed front the wounds on the head, which there had been no attempt made to stanch. He was of opinion that the fracture was the immediate cause of death, and that it was produced by a blow front a spade or instrument of that kind. Several watchmen and beadles were also examined, whose testi .motiy went to shew, that on their being called in to take the woman into custody, they found her kneeling by the side of the deceased, crying bittetly, and reproaching herself with his death. The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Mazy Keaton, alias Elizabeth Claypon, the wife of the deceased. SPORT INU INTELLIGENCE. • -ow- HUNTING. The Earl of Derby's Stag-hounds will meet to-morrow, at Ad dington; and Saturday, at the Oaks. Lord Petre's Fox-hounds meet to-morrow, at Belmont Castle ; Saturday, at the Shepherd and Dog, Cray's Hill ; Tuei.day, at Til bury Mill; Thursday, the 17th, at Stuck; and Saturday, the I 9th, at Langdon Hills. Lord Sondes hounds met at Peppen Gam, on Friday week, and found a bate, which they ran to Stutters' Wood and over Short Wood Farm, at Throwley, to Challock Mills, and killed near East well Pask, a distance of at 'cast 13 miles, within an hour. TROTTING IN THF. NORTH. The Marquis of Huntly lately matched his hack , mare to carry eight stone, and trot sa miles in three hours. The performance took place between Forms and Elgin, on the Ist of February. Owing to the known superior qualities of the whole of the Noble Marquis's hacks, the mare was the favourite at high odds. She did the first eighteen miles in one hour and 14 minutes, and completed the 36 miles in two hours and 46 minutes, a performance not to be sneered at by the trotting fancy on this side the Tweed. PEDESTRIANISM. Another Match at the Five Bridges was undertaken yesterday morning, by a Mr. Williamson, as privately as it could he done. It was made over a Bacchanalian party a week since,fur so sovereigns, to be alone in 32 minutes, Mr. Pedley having done it on 'Sunday morning within that time. The pedestrian did the firs' mile and a half in eight minutes and forty seconds, went quietly up the steps at Waterloo-bridge, passed through the wicket-gate, and travelled along the bridge (rather less than a quarter of a mile) in a minute and six seconds. Here the pedestrian, instead of going through the Temple, took the route of Fleet -street, Ludgate-hill, Doctors' Commons, and Labour-in-vain-hill, along the Southwark-bridge. that of Blackfriars having been avoided in the match. The pedelf trian completed the match on the City side of London-bridge ha 31 minutes 48 seconds. Some consider it would have been easier to have gone along Black friars. The Marquis of CIIANDOS, during the last week, entertained s distinguished party of friends at Wotton, who, in their shooting excursions, killed 236 head of game in one day. A cart was se* by his Lordship to Aylesbury, loaded with pheasants, hares, ice. which were distributed as presents to several respectable inhabitants of the town. CORN EXCHANGE, MAI2K-LA NE, FEB. 9. The arrivals of Grain in general this week are moderate. Prime Wheat is scarce at* sells well at !Monday's prices, in other sorts there is scarcely any business doing. Barley does not sell freely • at the late advance. Beans and Peas fully maintain last quota tions. Oats remain at Monday's terms, hut there is not much trade for that article. The 'Flour trade Is still extremely dull.. Arrivals this week—English Wheat, 6500 quarters : Barley, 1500 quarters; Oats, 7200 quarters; Foreign Wheat 950 quarters; Barley, 3250; Oats, 2200 quarters; Flour, 5100 sacks. - The RECORDER makes his Reputtto the KING in Council, at two o'clock this day, at Carlton Palace, of the convicts tried at the December Sessions at the 014 Bailey. ...Yesterday, information was received at the 31ansinn-hbirse, that two parcels, containing 5E2,040 in Bank-notes, had been stolen on the preceding day, out of Newman's Gravesend coach. Notwith standing the great losses sustained by the carelessness of bankers, the plans of the London gangs are still as profitable as ever, to the speculators in stage-coach robberies. In this case there was no blame attributable to those who transmitted /lie notes. They exactly followed the directions of the bankers, whose notes are thus, pro bahly, thrown into a second circulation: At a little after one o'clock on Monday, a parcel, directed to Messrs. Brenchley and Co. Graves end, containing £1,403, In country notes, was delivered to the coachman of the Gravesend coach, and another parcel, directed to Messrs. Milian, Twiss, and Co. Gravesend, eortaining £640, also in country notes, was likewise put into his care, with orders per sonally to give them into the custody of the two houses. The first parcel was transmitted by the house of Williams and Co. of Birchin lane, the second by that of Sir J. Perrin& The coachman at the same time was well acquainted with the contents of both parcels. He im mediately proceeded to the yard of the Bull Inn, Leadenhall-street, where his coach was, and deposited the parcels in a box con. structed as the depositary of valuable property, under his own seat. He then double-locked the box, and put a padlock over the first lock, so that he fancied all the efforts of the thieves, particularly as he bad to go so short a journey, would be ineffectual. Having thus pre pared himself for the worst, he went into the inn to have a little refreshment, after which he collected his passengers, and drove off to Gravesend, supposing that all was safe. Upon his arrival, when he went to open the box, be found that some good-natured fellow had saved him the trouble. Both locks had been wrenched open, sand both parcels had been removed.
