y.. ; priblic. The advices from Bogota are of the 9th of )I.irch, and those from Carthagena, of the 9th of iptii. By the same vessel, accounts have been re ceived from Mexico, of the 16th of April, stating that TAMPICO, with twenty others, had been arrested; and that an Act of Outlawry against humps had passed the Congress unanimously. Dispatches were this morning received at the Colo nial Office, Downing -street, from Sir BENJAMIN D'Un- BAN, the new Governor of Demerara, dated May 5, at which time all way quiet in that Colony. This f.renoon we received kr:micron Papers to the 66th instant. .One of them contains a project for ame liorating the condition of the Jews, which has been sub witted to the Chamber of Deputies at Stuttgardt. It is but a few years ago that the Jews at Frankfort, though forming a fifth part of the population, were pent up in a nook of the city, which had but one place of e gress, and even this was shut up at night; and even t ow, in Germany, they labour under many galling restrictions, which are a disgrace to an age that boasts of its civilization. The following are extracts : •STUTTGARDT, JUNE 8. The Chamber of Deputies, in its Sitting of the 4th of June, received from M. Von Schmedlin two projects of law, the first of which relates to the civil condition of the Jews, and has for its object, by a system of legisla tion adapted to our times, to make their condition bar nionize with the general welfare, and likewise to facilitate as much as possible the means of educating and quell fiing the Israelites for the enjoyment of their civil T ights, on their taking upon them, on the other hand, all c ivil duties. In general, therefore, the Jews settled in the kingdom shall enjoy the tights of subjects of Wur. temburg, and be subject to all the civil laws, and bound to fulfil all the duties and obligations of the other citizens. Every Jew settled in the kingdom must belong to cue certain commune, as citizen or proprietor. With respect to the right of acquiring real property, and re. siding in another commune, the Israelite shall be placed on the same footing as the Christian ; but he is prohi bited from acquiring real property for the purpose of re-selling it, and the necessary regulations are pie. sciibed to prevent any trade of this kind. The Israelites shall be allowed farther to found separate Colonies, with their own demarcation and particular municipal Con stitution, with the obligations annexed to them, espe cially for the support of the poor, and may purchase the land necessary for this purpose, in which the State will afford them every reasonable facility. The Jew shall farther be entitled, as well as the Christian, to choose his profession and trade at pleasure, and qualify himself for it either at home or abroad. But while the Jews are thus to be permitted to exercise every descr ip ticn of trade and profession, the law contains the ne cessary regulations to pi event the inconveniences of the petty retail ti ade, &c. Particular regard is had to the improvement of the Jews, in a religious, moral, and intellectual view. Two chapters of the law treat of the churches and schools of the Jews. Parents and guardians are bound to have their children and wards of both sexes, from the age of six to 14, instructed in public schools, for which pur pose the necessary dispositions ale made for the esta blishment of Jewish elementary schools ; and with reference to the liberty in the exercise of their religion allowed the Jews, various regulations are made, for the purpose of so arranging the affairs of the Jewish Church, without touching the forms of their religious worship as hitherto practised, that an improved religious educa tion may be gradually effected. SWITZERLAND, JUNE S. M. Charles Pf)ffer, Captain of the Swiss Papal Guard, has been for some days at Lucerne, his native city. He is commissioned by the Pope to renew the capitulation for the company of guards, which has sub sisted for three centuries, due regard being paid to the alterations that may be necessary on account of the change of circumstances. He has already presented to the Council the Papal brief on this subject, and the ne gociations, which can hardly meet with any difficulty, \will soon be brought to a satisfactory termination by the Council. It is said that M. Pfyffer is likewise com missioned to communicate the wish of his Holiness to takeinto his pay a corps of 2,000 Swiss troops of the line, and to enter into negociations for the purpose. JUN'E 10. The Archbishop of Munich has issued a pastoral letter to the Clergy of his diocese, renewing several ancient regulations for the dress and external deport ment of the Clergy, and forcibly recommending that external decorum and dignified conduct which should distinguish those who by their conduct and example aught to lead the faithful to piety, devotion, and virtue. Jamaica Papers have arrived to the 2d of May. The following extracts are from the Jamaica Courant of the I st of May : KINGSTON (JAMAICA), *MAY 1. Yesterday a meeting of the Merchants and Under writers concerned in the trade of the Mosquito shore took place, when several Resolutions were agreed to, and transmitted to Admiral Halstead, who addressed the following letter to the Mayor.— “ Isis, Port Royal, 50th April. " Sin—Having received a copy of Resolutions which were adopted at a Meeting of Merchants and Under writers, held at the Commercial Rooms, on the subject of certain pretensions set forth by the Colombian Re public, to exclude foreigners fiom trading with the nisrpaito and other shores in that vicinity, I beg you will be good enot4h to make known, for the informa tion of those interested, that I shall send by the Grecian cutter, which is to sail for Carthagena the day after to uiorrow, a letter, reque,ting that the Proclamation on this subject he suspended till the same shall have been node 'mown to the British Government. I shall also ICCll3.3llit the Government of the'said Republic, that' ' have instructions to the contrary, it is my *duty to . kntect the British' trade in these seas, whenever it may be carried on in a laWfal manner ; and I therefore cannot make any exceptions to that which is carried on with the Indians on the Mosquito and other shores. " L W. lIALSTEAD, Vice-Admiral." A respectable inhabitant of this town arrived here from Cuba, a few days ago, and relates that the pe'ple of Principe evince the most hostile disposition towards all the English, and that a great many excesses have been committed, although the parties were known to the Government, and there were no measures adopted to prevent them► . _ We are happy to learn that letters have been received at Demerara, stating that no attempt had been made on the life of Colonel Dawson, on the part of the Govern ment cf St. Domingo. 7'llE KING.- GATIOY, Ilia MASESTY comes to town today from Windsor, and will hold a Council to-morrow at Carlton Palate. On Thursday, or should the House of Lords not get through the business of the Session by that time, on Friday Parliament will be prorogued, it is confidently expected, by the Krso in person. Lord GwIDTA, the Deputy Lord Great Chamberlain of Eng land, and on whom devolves the duty of making the requisite pre parations when the Kum goes to Parliament, on Saturday had an amlience of his Maassry to take his MASI:WWII commands regarding the prorogation of Parliament ; but his Lordship is understood to have received no positive commands on the subject; and last night no instructions had been given at the House of Lords, to commence the requisite preparation, should his Kamm in pee. son, prorogue the Parliament. On Thursday, his Maarsry will dine with the Duke of Wgisspe- TOW, at Apsley House, where there will be a most distinguished party to meet our Sovereign. We have great pleasure in adding that his Blaszslv enjoys excellent health. WINDSOR. JUNZ 21.—This afternoon, about three o'clock, the Kato took an airing in his phaeton in the Park. The Duke of DORSC7, Lord C; Raves, Sir WILLIAM Kilirg. and Sir ANDRZW BARNARD, left the Royal Castle this day for London. His ALsarse7 is expected to leave the Castle to-morrow for London, to hold a Privy Council in the course of a few days. The King of WURTEHBERG is said to be expected at Marseilles, for sea-bathing. Sunday, the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE dined with the Duchess of Kane, at her apartments at the King's Palace, Kensington. Prince LROPOLD, attended by Baron STOCKMAR, ar rived in town yesterday morning, from Claremont. The Duchess of Kerte, the Prince of Littnneser, and the Princess Flemoas, visi ted his Royal Highness, and partook of an elegant Airline. In the evening his Royal Highness had a numerous grand party. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Tonic and' Prince Leoroto honoured the Marquis and Marchioness of Wok canna with their company, at dinner, on Saturday, at their rei denee, in Cavendish-square. The Margravine of ANSPACH returned to her mane sion at Benham, Berks, last week, after many years' absence. Colonel STRUT? is considerably recovered from the effects of his late alarming accident. Mr. MUNRO, the King's Messenger, arrived in town on Sunday night, with Dispatches from the Hague. Dispatches were received yesterday morning at the Foreign Othce i Downing-street, from Sir IL THOSINTON, our Am • bassador at Lis bon, dated the 12th instant. Mr. Avis, who arrived in town on Friday from Ma drid, accomplished his journey in nine days. DOVER, AIME 20.—The Monarch steam-boat sailed this morning for Calais, with Mr. and Mrs. Itoenscuus. Mr. Roeuscriurs returns in the Monarch, this evening, and his Lady proceeds to Frankfort. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRIL—Mr. KENT, who per formed Richard at this Theatre on Thursday night, made his second appearance in the same character yesterday evening. Mr. Kau: was more collected in his performance last night than on Thursday , but, in the ultimate value of it, there was no material change. We bear, with much pleasure, that Miss STKYHILNS, DKADIAM, Miss FANNY KKLLY,Mr. RATllltit, and Mr. Matneves, are engaged for this season at the English Opera House. We are authorized to announce positively, that the Committee for the Omaha DIUSICAL FESTIVAL, which takes place in Cambridge on the ild of July next, have taken measures to prevent any imposition in the price of lodgings. DUEL.—A meeting took place at five o'clock yester day morning near Hampstead, between J. W. Wiseman and R. J. Homer, Esqrs. when we regret to say Mr. Wit rears was severely wounded ; but, from the skilful exertions of his medical friend, every hope is entertained of his recovery. In the list of causes to be tried in the Court of King's Bench, after Term, the case of Cox v. Keay, we perceive is set down. It occupies the 216th place,and is to be tried by a Special Jury. CHICHESTER, JUNE 19. Wednesday, the Lord Bishop of Catessuna (the Rev. Dr. Cans), was enthroned in his Cathedral. His Lordship was met at the great Western door by the Choir and Prebendaries, who chanted a Hymn as they walked in procession up the aisle. Having arrived opposite the throne, his Lordship was conducted to it by the Rev. Mr. Toa ster., the Prebendary in residence, and placed on it with the usual ceremony. 'fhe morning service then commenced, and theDDenes, and other parts of the sacred othce, were sung with great effect. The Cathedral was crowded to excess, and all the inhabitants of Chichester seemed anxious to greet the arrival of their Bishop with real satisfaction. Indeed, we have no doubt but that the amiable qualities which the parish of Brighton acknowledge in its Vicar, will be experienced, on a more extended scale, by the Diocese of Chichester, in its Bishop. We understand that a citation has issued, calling upon the executors of a will of the late Signora STOSACT, which was proved sonic years ago, to bring into the Prerogative Court the probate of such will, as having been obtained upon an undue description of the deceased, &c. It is probably not generally known, that this distinguished vocalist left a very considerable for. tune behind her; no part of which, owing to the dispositions of the will in question, and other circumstances that will speedily be come matter of investigation in the? Spiritual Courts, has been hi therto inherited by Mr." Spencer Brahma," whose near relationship Ito the deceased, as well as her repeated declarations of intended j testamentary bounty in his favour, seem to have induced an expec-1 tation of a different result, as to his interests, from that which has ensued upon the Lady's death. When i.is Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY laid before Parliament the last Report of the Commissioners for build ing New Churches, he stated that besides the Churches built and building under the former grant, applications had been made (with a view to the proposed grant) for seventy new Churches (not seven as erroneously printed), and that these, if carried into execution, would occupy more than the additional X 500,000. We learn that the number of Churches already completed is 28; those in progress, 44 ; those for which the plans are still under eon• sideration, 141 ; and those for which the plans are not yet given in : 10 ; in all 98. Add to these the 70 mentioned by the Archbishop, and for which the applications are most urgent, and the whole number will be 168 ; being more than the number previously existing in either of the following Dioceses—Durham, Ely, Carlisle, Bangor, St. Asaph, or Rochester. Letters from the Cape of Good Kope, dated 14th April, give a most distressing account from Delagoa (a Pot tuguese settlement on the Coast of Africa). A de tachment of the natives had surprised the Governor, and his escort of fifty men, the whole of whom were butchered in the most inhuman manner; and such was the agitation and alarm at Delagoa, at the time the accounts came away, that it .was believed it would be entirely evacuated, and the fort destroyed. Surixam Gazettes of the 27th of April have been re ceived at Amsterdam: they contain nothing of the pretended disturbances of which the English Journals have spoken—Brussels Paper. a An investigation took place on Saturday, before the \lagistrates at Hertford, respecting the burglary com mitted at the house of Earl Cowper's steward. It was understood that nothiA l was. elicited materially affect .trg the prisoner /)uti . fie was remanded to the us.t.)dy of Mr. Wilson for ten days. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The following is an extract of a letter from Ilia de Janeiro, 16th April, 1324, to a mercantile house in Glasgow :—" I have now to inform you, that the Agenoria was lost on her voyage to Buenos Ayres, at a place galled the English Bank. You will no doubt see this unfortunate circumstance officially stated in Lloyd's List. The owners of the Agenoria had so much confidence in her that they did not Insure their interest in the vessel and cargo, amounting to sixteen or twenty thousand rnilreas. It is supposed that several people who remained on the wreck have perished, but their fate is not as yet known. Some were saved upon a raft, after having been nearly seven days on the same,with scarcely anything to eat or drink."

MR. ROBERT GOVRLAY. This unfortunate Get;rerem is not inactive, and is' not unwilling to meet the Doctors. On Sunday, Mr. Gourlay wrote to those Doctors (Munro and Tuthill), who had delivered a cozOicate to the House, in which they expressed their belief that Mr. Gourlay was in an unsound state of mind and insane, and he called on those Gentlemen to secant what he termed their inju rious and ill-founded opinion. Yesterday, the Doctors again visited Mr. Gourlay, and had considerable con versation, and in consequence of such conversation Mr. Gourlay again wrote to the Speaker, enclosing divers letters, papers. Stc. Preparatory to the discharge cf Mr. Gourlay, in the event of such proceeding being de termined on, the Bill of Fees, 4-c. was made out. It amounted to twenty-one pounds ! Mr. Gourlay said he should pay no such fees. He was prepared to go to Newgate, and he had, from the first, been so prepared, had the House deemed it right to send him thither, and certainly his expenses would not have been anything like such amount. Rather than pay any part of such bill, Mr. Gourlay declared his intention to remain a pri soner till the prorogation, as then he must be suffered to go at large as a matter of course. • It was expected that the subject would be brought forward in the House of Commons last night. Some Magistrates were there, attended by an officer, to be prepared to convey Mr. Gourlay into other and parti ticular custody, should the opinion of the House con firm the Doctors' certificate. Between eight and nine o'clock, howeverohey were informed that the subject would not be brought forward, in consequence of which the parties connected with the police departed. LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCII, JUNE 21. STAFFORD PEERAGE.-TN! WINO V. COOKE. Mr. CAMPBELL moved their Lordships on affidavit to postpone the judgment of the Court on James Stamp Sutton Cooke, con victed of a conspiracy at the late Gloucester Assizes to disturb and disquiet Sir George Jerningham in the peaceable possession of cer tain estates in the county of Stafford, whereof he was seized the brother of the defendant claiming the title of Baron Lord Stafford, in opposition to Sir George. Mr. CaIitPSZLI. proceeded to state, that judgment having been appointed for this day. the affidavit he held in his hand set forth the defendant's Inability to attend, from the circumstance of indis position, he being confined with a severe fit of the gout. He had been in attendance during every day of last Term, and now prayed the Court to postpone judgment. Lotto Mater iVSTSCl4—Judgmeat having been appointed for this day, you see the great inconvenience the Court is put to in your now coming hire for delay. Mr. Casseatzt..---My Lord, I regret the circumstance of this Gentleman's indisposition as much as any une.--The case was or dered to stand over. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. MAGNAY V. PICKERING. This was a case of an attachment, lodged by Alder man Magnay for a sum of 7501. against any money in the hands of Mr. Berry, the Secretary of the Hope In surance Company. Evidence was given to prove that the sum of 2071. was due from the Hope Insurance Company to Mr. Pickering. Mr. Berry, the Secretary, had the controul over the money, but it was only as the servant to the Company. This money was there fore attached. Mr. BOLLARD appeared on behalf of Mr. Berry, and contended that the attachment would not lie against him. It was evident that the money was not in the pos session of the Secretary, but of the Company, to whom the attachment should have been issued. Mr. BARNARD said the Secretary, or some other were by Act of Parliament officer of these Companies, made liable to be sued for the debts of the whole body. The attachment was, under this Act, properly directed against the Secretary. Mr. BOLLARD replied, that iu no case whatever could money be attached in the hands of an individual, unless it was actually in his possession. Mr. BARNARD said, if the attachment were held by the Court to be good, and an action were afterwards brought by Mr. Pickering against Mr. Berry for the money, this attachment would be a sufficient answer to it. The Recommit held the objection made on behalf of Mr. Berry to be good. An attachment from this Court , did not come within the meaning of the Act as a suit.' The Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, returned a verdict for the defendant, _ 44,MY. .-• Arrived in Ceylon in January last, 10 resume tbt 0 " 1 . 1 = of the Island, LieutenantXpeneral Sir,Erordiao iheasza, an diately after his arrival he presented to the Mesa of the '4stla VW% ment a most superb Silver Salver, accompanying the valsibldeft with the following note : " Sir Edward Barnes presents hb compliments to Colonel Green well and tits Officers of the 45th Regiment, and requests their ac ceptance of a Silver Waiter, as a token of his respect and esteem. " Government House, Colombo, 23d Jan. 1824." To which the following reply was given: " Lieut.-Colonel Greenvrell and the Officers of the 45th Regiment beg to return Sir Edward Barnes their hest thanks fur hit hand some and valuable present of a Silver Waiter for their Mess ; and they request to assure his Excellency the honour be has thus con ferred, and the kind manner be has conveyed his approbation and regard, will ever be remembered by the 45th Regiment." It may be added, that the above Regiment, with its gallant Com mander, Lieutenant-Colonel Gamiwats, is under orders to pro ceed to the Continent of India. GENERAL ORDERS. Horse Guards, e4th IMay, 1824. It having been represented to the Commander-in-Chief, that no 4. withstanding the Orders already in force, great inconvenience has arisen from the want of regular marriage and baptismal certifi cates from foreign stations, of Officers and Soldiers, and their chil dren, his Royal Highness has been pleased to direct that the Chap lains to the forces abroad shall be instructed to transmit to the Chaplain General's office, half-yearly, and for any broken period that may occur previous to their quitting the stations on which they are employed, a copy, duly signed by themselves and the Officer in command of each station, of the regimental registers of marriages and baptisms now kept in conformity with the general regulations on this subject. By command of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General. Horse Guards, 31st May, 1824. His Majesty has been graciously pleased to approve of a Hospital Serjeant being borne upon the establishment of each Battalion of Infantry : this appointment is to take effect in Corps serving in Great Britain and Ireland, and in the islands of the British Chap- Deh from the 25th of June next, and in Regiments serving on ffi reign stations from the 25th of December nest. His Royal High ness the Commander-in-Chief directs, that in the appointment of Hospital Serjeants, Commanding Officers will take care to select men who are active, intelligent, and of good character. The Hos pital Serjeants are, in future, to be accounted for in the Regimental Returns, under the head of " Staff Serjeants." In consequence of this addition to the establishment of Serjeants s one Private is to be .discontinued as a part of the establishment of Regiments of Infan try, from the respective periods above stated. By command of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General BOW-STREET-THIS DAY. BURGLARY IN ST. JASISte'S-STRERT. George Ms, a well-known character, was put to the bar, on sus picion of being concerned with a daring gang of burglars, in rob bing, to a considerable extent, the premises of Mr. Uoby, boot maker, of St. James's-street. The prisoner was stopped by the police, some distance from the spot, and, from the information re ceived, they had strong reason to believe he had been concerned is the robbery. It, however, fortunately for him, happened that he had not any of the property in his possession at the time. There being no farther evidence against him on the present occasion, the Magistrate thought it would be going too far to send him for trial, and ordered him to bo discharged. The Officers are still actively employed in endeavouring to trace the robbers, and from information they have received, there is a great chance that their exertions will be attended with success. T I DISTURBANCE AT THE SURREY THEATRE. A disturbance took place at the Surrey Theatre last night, which had nearly demolished the interior of the house. A Mr. CARTLICH was announced to play a part in the last piece, which part had been hitherto sustained by Mr. H. RIDABLE, who, in consequence, it is said, of non-payment, bad withdrawn himself from the Com pany. On the appearance of the former in the part assigned him, every person in the Pit rose, and an universal cry for " RIDABLE" prevailed throughout the Theatre. Mr. CARTLICH addressed the audience; and at the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Kautz jumped from the pit upon the stage, and taking the hand of his rival, said, " CARTLICH, I respect you as a man and a Gentleman , and that's more than I can say of your employer." Mr. KEXIBLZ was on the point of addressing the audience, when WILLIAMS, who, we understand, is the Proprietor, rushed from behind the wings, and seizing Mr. litstat.z, who had thus interrupted the per formance, endeavoured to expel him from the stage. A scuffle succeeded, in which Mr. KIMBLE was thrown over the orchestra into the pit. The audience now in terfered, and showers of orange-peel descended from all parts of the house on the stage, when Mr. Jour! REEVE and Mr. Auto entered the stage, and forcibly dragged Mr. Wiwasts from the scene of insult and tumult. This ended the riot on the stage, but was only a fresh stimulus for the parties in the pit : Mr. KEstst.z was mounted by his friends upon a bench, and would have spoken, but he was interrupted by a posse of officers, who darted across the pit, and seized hold of him. A battle-royal ensued ; and the friends of Mr. Kum's contested it with a sparring match with the supporters of CataTucif. With some difficulty Mr. Kum': was removed from the scene of action, and deposited in the Surrey watch house. This done, the piece was suffered to proceed. but in mere dumb shew, for the cries for REMBLE to resume his part were too load to suffer any of the actors to be heard. Of the disputes between Messrs. WILLIAMS and KEMILI we know nothing ; but certainly the theatre was not a place to settle them, and Mr. KEIIBLE ought to hare known better than interrupt the performance. A private letter flora Lisbon, received yesterday morning by an eminent Portuguese merchant, states, that the King of Portugal has resolved to respect the public debt, and that one of his first decrees would be to that effect. The writer adds, " what a glorious ex ample this would be for Spain to follow f' Accounts from India, dated in November last, state that matters ere not yet settled with the Burmas, and that there is still likely to be some fighting. A Belgic Journal mentions that there has lately been a dreadful hail storm, which has caused irreparable da mage in different parts of that country. A Southern Journal, in repeating this event, adds, the hailstones were as large as pigeons' eggs—another Journal, on the bor ders of the Garonne, announces that they were as large as the eggs of an ostrich I—When this news has passed the bridge of Bourdeaux, GOD knows to what dimen sions these hailstones will have attained. We know that a snow-ball gathers as it rolls; but it appears that in the South of France hailstones have the same property of increasing their magnitude as they proceed from one Journal to another. Sunderland has been thrown into much agitation by the apprehension and committal to Durham jail, of a surgeon of that place, for having administered corrosive sublimate to his wife, with an intent to poison her. MOTHER or Vscas.—The Duke of ORLEANS, the Regent, had four daughters, distinguished by the names of the Four Cardinal Sun.
