The Moniteur announces the death of EUGENE BEAUHA RNOIS, Prince of EICHSTADT. The intelligence of this event, which took place at Munich, at four o'clock in the morning of the.2lst instant, was communicated to Pails by telegraph. Prince EUGENE was the son of the Empress JOSEPHINE, by her former husband. He was a great favourite with BosapairrE, who made him Viceroy, a situation which he held-until the fall of NAPOLEON. Prince EUGENE was married to AUGUSTA AMELIA, rldeEt daughter of the King of BAVARIA, on the 13th of January, 1806, and since the restoration of the Bour bons he has resided almost entirely at the Court of his father-in-law. He was not considered a man of great talents, but of an arhiable disposition, and of strict ho nour and integrity. The health of the Princess Louts* of CONDE is improving. The Duc de Bovuos bas been confined some days by indisposiLion; The Moniteur contains two ‘ Royal:Ordonnatmes, the first appointing the Presidents of some of the Electoral Colleges; and the second for dividing the Colsrt of Assizes for the department of the .Seine into two sec tions, which will he simultaneously occupied, and thus expedite busifiess. Baron d'lttoLss, the Captain-General of Catalonia , entered Barcelona vn the llth inst. accompanied only by an Vscort of fifteen cavalry. On his arrival Reissued the following Proclamation : " liarcelouians—Our beloved King has confided to swe the care of your tranquillity and .happiness, and 'bail spare no exertions to discharge a duty so dear to me. I count on your kind cooperation in making me acquainted with your wishes. I come not to increase resentments, but, on thecontrary, to stifle them ; and for myself, I shall forget everything but your good. Order and union ; these are my views and my objects; and in demonstrating no respect to particular persons, the Authorities will best enable me to fulfil my wishes. Your personal quarrels ;hall be decided by impartial justice, the sanctuary of which is open to all offenders; its majestic march shall not .bc disturbed by the cries of the multitude, nor by. individual considera• tions. The law, the glory of the King, or death—that is my motto. " Barcelonians, your happiness and tranquillity are the object of the cares and wishes of your Compatriot and Chief of Catalonia.

LETTER PROM MADRID, OF THE ISTII LNSTANT. " The delay 6T-the Act of Amnesty appears to have created some dissatisfaction; and it is remarked that the ardent Royalists; who some time ago were altogether opposed to an amnesty being granted, now speak of it as an act to which a wider scope must be given, in order to obtain the object wJ!ich the Government has in view. " Several Canons have received orders to return to their canonicates th'ilaMous Trappist has also been commanded to depart; a few days ago, he was seen near the Puerta del Sol, on horieback, in his ecclesiastical habit and a General's sash, and preceded by two run _ . • ning footmen. "Thu Director of Police, at Seville, has issued an Ordonnance to the following effect:—During the day, more than four persons ate forbidden to be seen toile- M.N., and during the night more than two, to render them suspected ; it is enough that the persons are known be the partisans of the Constitution, and proceedings 'will be commenced against them.' • A letter of the 16th inst. from Marseilles, states that '.he Spanish General, Villacampa, bad arrived in that port ; it is said he has asked permission to reside there. The Courier Francais of the 14th - inst. was seized at Crest, in consequence of the complaint of the SA-Prefect of that town, that it contained.an article against him. The Monitenr announces the return to Breit of the E riclice frigate, that tjok out the intelligence of the fall of Cadiz, and the restoration of FERDINAND to absolute Power, to the liavannah. The Spanish Colonel BAR.. RAJA S was the bearer of FERDINAND'S orders t be. leached, it appears, the Havannall on tlic 91 of Decem ber; and sailed again on the `l ist of the same month, bringing,back dispatches from Flues, the Governor of Cuba. Complete tranquillity, this account states, pre vailed in the island, when the Eurydice sailed. Dutch Papers to the kith have reached us. They contain intelligence from Odessa to the beginning of the present month. It is stated that Lord Brnasorono had received instructions from England to continue the negocialions for arranging the differences between Russia and the Porte, and that much anxiety was felt to know what rt M. MINZIACKY would take in the affair, as it was reported that his mission was purely of a mercantile nature. The conferences which were to take place at St. Petcrsburgh, on the subject of Greece, with the British Minister, Sir C. BAGOr, had however been postponed till the result of M. MIN.. ZIACKY'S mission was known. It would appear from this circumstance, that the object of that mission em braced still greater interests than those of trade, and that it was connected more or less with concessions to the Greeks, if not with the recognition of their inde pendence. The Rusiian Senator, TATISCIIEPF, was to return to Vienna at the beginning of March on a mission which was supposed to be connected with those affairs. Gibraltar Papers to the 6th instant reached us last night, confirming the accounts of the captutes of the Barbary Pirates. Letters from the Levant announce that it has.been impossible hitherto to come to an arrangement with the Tutkish Authorities relative vs the landing of goods destined for Russian Ports in the Black Sea. So many formalities are enforced, that the Captains of ships prefer selling their cargoes in the ports where they happen to be, rather than wait months before they can obtain from Constantinople permission to continue their voyage. It is remarked that the Porte aims particu larly to throw obstacles in the way of Europeans trad ing with the Russian ports, and to accomplish this object, avails- itself sometimes of one 'pretext, and sometimes of another. It still exercises, with the greatest rigour, the right of visiting neutral vessels in its ports, alleging the necessity of being convinced that there are on board such vessels neither Greek slaves, nor prsperty belonging to . the Greeks. By an arrival from Oran, the intelligence repecti ng the Algerine squadron is confirmed, w i th the addition that five Spanish vessels have been captured by them. Yesterday, Viscount MELvit.i.e was a little better. It is said in the fashionabl4 circles, that Lord JOHN TXYxaE will lead to the hymeneal altar, on Tuesday next, the beau tiful and accomplished Miss Bcassroah, niece to Mr. G. livitu. The Dowager Countess Pout. Err yesterday enter tained his Royal Highness the Duke of Guoucarrea, and a distill guished.party, to dinner.

Lord Bos•row and family arrived on Wednesday at their house in tosser Groevenor.street, from their seat, Halloos' Lodge, Bucks. The Lord Advocate of Scotland, Sir WILLIAM RAI, Lady Rae, and Miss RAI, arrived yesterday at the Waterloo Ho tel, from Scotland. The King of the NETHERLANDS arrived at Brussels en the 21st, and the Prince of Gamma, on the 23d instant. . • Yestet day morning, at eleven o'clock, a meeting of the Lords of his Nauss?' Most Honourable Privy Council was held at the Council Office, Whitehall, which was attended by the Loan PRZSIDINT, the Jaws of the Aeolis Comte, Sir H. Roams, Lord CoLcussTee, Mr. Sanarias llouazur, and Lord STowens.. The further consideration of the Appeal of Messrs. Boy a, Kann and Co. ; against the decision of the Commissioners for French Claims, was resumed. The Knos's Anvocoes was heard in support of the deci sion of the Commissionkrs. hlr..Fosnaintatic was heard in reply, urging strongly Mr. Bovn's claims, and concluded with praying theta Lordships to rescind the Decree of the Commissioners, and concluded at half-past two o'clock, when the Inas PBASIMIT or dered Counsel to withdraw; after which their Lordships remained in deliberation for a considerape time. A new Insurance Company is about to be brought forward, under the auspices of three of the most emi nent Establishments in Europe, but the Prospectus has not yet been published. Five millions sterling will be' the capital, and it is understood that this concern will not be confined to any particular Vatter% but will be open to the subjects of all nations for securing their property from natural casualties, and insuring the in terest of relatives and connections in their lives, The particulars are, however, as yet, not generally known. The Company wille under the controul of Mr, ROTHS• CHILD. It is divided into shares of £lOO each, which are, We believe, disposed of. Mercantile advices from Buenos Ayres, dated the 20th November, have been received, and their contents have created some uneasiness among those interested in that quarter. The Indians have for a coatiderable time past been very unsettled and troublesome, and it was evident that they were instigated by disaffected persons who had absented themselves from the capital. They bad, in fact, made several sudden incursions into. the Province, driving away cattle, carrying off?the women, and butchering the men who were so unfortunate as to fall into their hands. The small detachments of troops stationed co the frontiers had either been defeated or compelled to retire, and the success the Indians had met with rendered them more daring. The terror spread throughout thd' Province was so great, that the planters and farmers, with their families and most valuable ef fects, were leaving their estates, and coming into the town for protection. Another almost equally alarming. calamity' had occurred. No rain had fallen for a consi derable time, and the drought was so great, that the cattle were , dying in 'every direction, or withdrawing to the more secluded parts of the country, to escape from the heat. This had rendered meat unusually scarce, and the military detachment stationed at Entre Rios, were, at the time the above letters came away, actually living -on Mares' flesh. The Government were adopting the most energetic measures against the Indians, and no doubt they would succeed in putting a stop to their in cursions ; but this could not be done for some time, and not without considerable losses and expense. It is said that the Indians had - been highly incensed against the Government, on account of its living attempted to ex tend the frontiers, Which they consider as un infringe -Ment on their own lands. Affairs were so extremely critical, that the Gov ernment 6 per cent. Stock, which • a.iittle before was at 45, had fallen to 40, and even that price was nominal, as there were co purchasers.

Meeting of the friends and sub scribers to the above Institution, was held yesterday; ' pursuant to advertisement, at the Fr eema-ons Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the several Reports of the Treasurers and Master and Mistress of the School, and for the 'election of fourteen of the candidates for ad mission. At half-past two o'clock the Lord Bishop of London took the Chair. 'There were al , o present the Bishops of Salisbury and -Lincoln, Archdeacons Putt and Goddard, the Dean of Carlisle, Drs. Gaskin, Moore, Sheppard, and a numerous body of Divines, &c. The Rev. Mr. TuaNert, the Secretary, read the aninwies of the last quarterly meeting. The House Surgeon's Report was then read, which stated, that the health of the boys and girls on the e,ta blishment was - very good, yet that there had been'a deal of sickness during the past year, from the great preva lence of the measles and trooping-cough. Mr. WATSON, 'the joint Treasurer, moved a Tote of thanks - to Mr. Le e se, the house surgeon, for the unre mitted attention given to the children during a year . of such unprecedented sickness. The Bishop of LONDON thought that a more sub stantial mode of expressing their sense of Mr. Leese's . exertions should be xdopted, than a mere vote of thanks; and it was afterwards resolved that it should be re ferred to the Committee to consider what donation should be made to Mr. Leese in addition to the ordinary annual payment for his services. The Report of the Master of the Boys' School was _next read ; from which it appeared that there were at present fifty-two boys educating there, and that three of those would shortly be withdrawn. The Report of the Mistress oldie Girls School stated; that• there were then trirty-six girls on the establishment, all of whom were in good health. Previously to the reading of the Treasurers' Report, Mr. Watson read a letter from Archdeacon Cambridge, his Co-Treasurer, expressing his regret that an accident (a sprained ancle) prevented his attendance.

In conselltleace of a fire which broke out in the extensive Wharfs *lt'd Warehouses of Messrs. Pickford and Company, on the banks of the City road Daiin. The fire Was first observes! in the interior of the middle row of warehouses, and so rapid was its psogress as tts defy every effort to prevent it spreading destruction around, and in a short time communicated to the building. At this time vast crowds of persons thronged the cutterior of the building, while as many more were observed hastening from all parts of Lon don, guided by the column of flame, Which was visible Many miles; the persons employed in the interior, observing the im mense mass press upon them, very prudently closed all the gates, to prevent the egrect of any individuals. The Royal Exchange, County, Beacon, Sun, and Globe, were the first en' ines that arrive,' on the spot, and coming round theltivek premises, entered the pt in ltatcliffe.row, which were immediately closed upon them. Ora entering the yard, the dreadful spectacle was more visible to the eye. Those premisea which contained the greater pottion of the • product of the Northern part of England, were seen in entire flame, while the various commOditirs recently imported, presented heap of smoky ruins. The engines were immediately brought into play, partly standing in the canal, while the firemen manned a boat, and boldly ventured as far near the flames as the scorching heat would allow them. The flames at this time hid obtained such ascendancy that all attempts to save the buildings were useless; every enzine that was-then in full play seemed not in the least to damp the flame, pot prevent it spreading its destruction ; the firemen therefore turned their attention to the adjacent buildings of Messrs. Pickford lying esatward of the City-road, and displayed their efforts to prevelt th.fna falling a prey to the fire. Their exertions were successful, and they saved the uhject they aimed at .; had they caught, there is not the least doubt but Mr. Holt's warehouses would also have shared the same fate ; the warehouses, however, where the fire first originated, !sting _ . _ _ stored with goods, particularly from*Liverp.ool, Manchester, Stet fordshire, Birmingham, and She111:1:1, drfied all exertions to save. a single article ; the flames continued spreading in every direction, and several engines were brought round within the wall:, and then com menced playing upon the side* warehouses near the City mad; which contained an unusual quantity of china and glass in err ;es. All the gates in Ratcliffe-row and Macciesflehi-street were closAl, but the walls, standing 18 feet high,were lined with prisms. Snore were pulling ethers down to obtain a view, while as many more were pushed over and received serious injuries; at this time a small wicket, large enough to admit one persoa, was forced, and in rushed the multitude as fast as they possibly could ; the intrudera were however chserved, and the gate immediately closed. The crowd at length forced one of the great gates, and gained the banks of the canal opposite to the fire; it was sin-tiding rhea far and wide about the warehouses, while the red-hot tiles I r.gia the roofs, splitting into a thousand pieces, reseal - bled all explosion of gunpowder. The ponderous beams stretching across the build ing: long continued battling. while the bales of varinus commo dities burned below, resembling a heap of coals. At length the flames were somewhat abated in the first quarter, and then began its ravages it.. the left hand range of warehouses, principally occupied by crates of china, Eq. which were almost totally consumed. We have not yet ascertained in 'what manner the fire originated, but it lb supposed to have been occasions * by * by some tow catching fire; while other reports state it to have originated from an explosion of some gas pipes on the premises. It is generally presumed, and we believe too sue, that two firemen and a boy are missing; the fire. men are supposed to have fallen overboard, and although every in. quiry has been made after them, they have not been found. At half-past 11 o'clock last night, the fiameewere totally subdued, hat vast columns of smoke were still rising from all parts of the ruins. The total amount of what is destroyed by this destructive bre has not been ascertained. Mr. Pickford's property, it is said, is insured to an amount sufficient to cover his total loss ; but we re gret to state, that such is not the case with a great quantity of nier chants' property. The bre appeared very awful, and made the City-road as light as day ; it was burning very rapid, and the roof fell in before the un glues got to work. Considerable alarm was excited by a Gentleman saying that there was a quantity of gunpowder in o.e watehousea ; but it was soon after ascertained that it was put into a barge, and taken down the Canal. It its said that the lire was occasioned by the gas, but for the truth of this we cannot answer. Fortznxa PARTICULARS.—The damage done to the warehouses it estimated at £20,000. Much property was stolen by a set of thieves, who rushed into the yard, and cut open several valuable packages,• which they plundered. Two persons were taken into custody, but were rescued by the gang. An immense number of persons had assembled on the bridge over the canal in the City-road, en dens: was it that the pass ige was stopped for carriages, &c. till an opening was forced by a Strong party of police. During this time several po - sons were forced over the parapet, and got a thorough ducking in the water ; fortunately, however, they all got out Safe. The ruins were still smoking this morning. _ _ SPOIITIM;. i J . `L.[ t,J NCE. BETTING-ROOM.

TILE IRISH CHAVPIDN'S DECLARATION TO THE Produce of girls' school . Legacies MASQUERADE.—Repeated taiiure appears to have but little effect in damping the Spirit of speculation ; for, notwithstand ing the luckless results of most of the efibrts is the way of masque rade at the King's Theatre, another attempt was matte last night.— The pit was planked over with all due exactness, the bands pro vided were sufficient for the purpose, and the supper table, at least the one we saw, was wellstored with viands, jellies, and pastry. —A number of people appeared in s:range dresses, but there were few sustained characters. There was a good, or at teal a wise Jew, who laughed at the folly of speculating in the Spanish Bonds, and ridiculed the• royals bubble with success. There was also a Clergyman of some sedatitness and phraseology, and a Fishwornan, who drank gin, pnd talked: slang with felicity. —.l little girl ran up and down the tight-rope with marvellous dexterity, and a Mr. £sAi lawn :arra Kruse exhibited some curious and perilous tricks of juggling. A great many of those who went in character failed ; but there were some whts displayed much genuine dramatic talent. We observed a Yorkshire lad of rare abi lity, if he were anything else, and consummate impudence, if' he Ivens simplevountryniau; he seemed to have lived all his life in a stable, or farm-yard. There was a sturdy Irish Haymaker, who kept up his part with great happiness of brogue, end an ine'ski.usti-, bk fund of Irish modesty. He engaged in a serious and unitising argument with an English Farmer, on the min-cave merits of po tatoes and roast beef. The Irishman was the noisiest in the battle, and certainly his rubicund visage and chairman's Ivgs bole testimo:q to the invigorating effect of poratne diet: The suppers were by Jtenut, of Dond.street, and were most prn ; finely served up. The wines were not of the very best order, but they were much better than we remember to have known given b e fo re at such entertainments.

To shew you, therefore, that the citc:f:sig is not on toe side, and that /am really anxious to have matters clearly understood, I beg to submit the following facts to your judgment : When 1 challenged him in Manchester for 1001. a-side, he pre tended to treat my offer with contentin (though be had never, but in one instance, fought for more), and named 5001. as the least stake—a sum three times greater than any for whit:t he bad ever contended. But though he was afterwards shamed into ktreeitig for 3001. a-side, yet he calculated on my inability, to raise so mach : 'and 'to prevent my doing so, he and his friend, besides throwing other obstacles in my way, contrived ,to induce the Gentleman who agreed to put down the whole sum for me, to withdraw his patronage; so that it was with the utmost difficulty I raised the battle money.—M to the battle, it is needless to re peat that I have good reasons to complain of the treatment I expe rienced. Every unprejudiced witness will bear me out in thisolnd my friends are so satisfied with my conduct, that they are ready to back me against Spring for £5OO on a stage, which they think the only way of guarding against a renetttion of unfaiitreatment. But when Spring finds me thus supported, he raises his detiand to a thousand; on the ground that I challenged him to fight for any sum front £5OO to £lOOO. My words were—ihat I would fight hint for from .e3OO to £5OO, or for £lOOO, if I were backed, and I do not deny them; for, if I had £lOO,OOO I would confidently stake it. But £5OO is a sum between £5OO and £lOOO ; acd. if I could get hacked for £lOOO I should rejoice at it, as it would at once do away this excuse of Spring. I think, however, that it will not cell much for his credit it he continues to reject the £XO which I can command, and £5O of which I am ready to 107 down at Belcher's, to make the match, any time he thinks proper. I be lieve nine out of ten, in the spniting world, will agree that Spring cannot honourably refuse this proposal, were it even on►y to met t the complaint of foul play, which l am justified in making with re gard to the former battle. But he has also pledged himself, when he received the champion ship, to imitate the donor's conduct. Then why not redeelu his pledge, or resign the gift ? lie says that be does not VS ish to enter the ring again. This it Mere shuffling. Ile ought not to hold a situation for which he has no taste—he cannot, in justice, have the honour without the danger. If he will not fight, then let him resign the championship ou o'ie that will—to a man who %till not want to make a sinecure of the title, and will always he ready to fight for a stake of SOO/.
