It repeats, without remark, the statement in the Et4ile, that the King of SPAIN has !igned an act by which he acknowledges a debt to Frence of thirty-four millions of francs; and assigns in Payment the produce of the Salt-mines of Arragon and the Customs of Miranda, through which goods are in troduced tram France, and the privileged provinces of Biscay and Navarre, into the unprivileged provinces to tie south of the Ebro. An extract is given from a letter of a French Officer a! Cadiz, dated 18th January, which states that the Fleur de Lis, and other French vessels of war, which I ' 4l recently arrived there, had for their only object (Poirr ?wipe objet), to convey home more promptly ti&e stlb-officers and soldiers tlf the French army *lose term of service is expired. The purpose of this assurance is obviously to dirxountenance any idea that Le French ships were intended to canpetate in the proicced Spanish expedition against South America; 20d that it is founded in truth, we see no reason to doubt. kie have received today the following accounts frOm. BAYONNE, FEBTiIiA EY Our accounts from Madrid are of the 29th. On the 25th of January, a corps of 100 Constitutionalists en- ' tered the town of St. Clements de la Mancha ; and it required a superior force, belonging to General Iles sieres, to drive them away. They barricadoed themselves in a house, from which they escaped under cover of the night. The Resta itrador spares no pains to support the cause of absolute power and superstition. " The moderate people,* it says, " form, in a time of revolu tion, a more formidable party than all the rest." If a gunnel has occurred in one commune, or an arrest has taken place in another, it announces an insurrection, or the discovery of a conspiracy, one of the ringleaders in which has been imprisoned. Then it exclaims against the negligence of certain communes, and reproaches them with not having any Royal Volunteers. It is cer tain that several very simple facts have been exagge rated in this manner. The same Journal says, " that there are enemies to the throne, whom it points out, and who are ready to trouble the public tranquillity,' unless rigorous measures are adopted to check their audacity." Its indignation is especially directed against the Freemasons, and being unable to point them out, it states their numbers to amount to 70,000, and this is not exaggerated. The addresses to the King are also a great resource, and they are always in the spirit that the journalist de sires, especially if they come from the Clergy or the Royal Volunteers. In its last number it has one from the Clergy of the Communes of La Rioja ; the follow. ing is the substance of what they ask of the King : Ist. The reestablishment of the Inquisition.-2d. The severe punishment of all those who have contri buted to establish or support the Constitutional system, without which the liberty and the life of the King and the Royal Family are in danger, and there can be no tranquillity throughout the Monarchy.-3d. A system of regulation for the Army, especially the Royal Vo lunteers.-4th. The appointment of Commissaries of Police in all the communes of La Rioja. The Restaurador says it is ready to publish the names of above 6,000 persons, in Madrid alone, who de s erve to be severely punished. It is strongly reported here, that all the Spanish re fugees are to be sent back to Spain. This measure, the cause of which is unknown, alarms all those whom it concerns; orders have already been given to some. The brig Maria Theresa, which had been can ied into the Canaries, has returned from the island of Palma; ft great part of the cargo has been burnt in the ware houses, which were set on fire, and by which the destruc tion of ten houses was occasioned. A strong detachment of discharged soldiers, chiefly of the 37th regiment, returning from Spain, passed through here yesterday, on their way to the interior. M. Destrogat, senior of our city, has received a very flattering letter from King Ferdinand, who thanks him for the services he has rendered to the Royal cause ; the letter was accompanied with a portrait of the Prince, richly set. They talk of the embarkation of ten of our regiments for Spanish America. Yesterday morning, the Princess AUGUSTA left her Royal Highness's residence at Frogmore in her travelling carriage, attended by Lady MALY Tan.on, her Royal Highness's Lady in Waiting, and proceeded to London. She alighted at her Royal Highness's new intended residence in the Stable-yard, in the King's Palace, St. James's, the house joining the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cianases. Her Royal Highness was shortly after joined by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gun/cgsTrit. Be tween three and four o'clock, the Princess left Gloucester House, where she had partaken of a dejeune, on her return to Frogmore. Sunday, the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER at tended Divine Service at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. Yesterday her Royal Highness the Princess SOPHIA visited the Duke of YORK. Yesterday the Earl of WESTMORLAND transacted business at the Foreign Office. The Earl of LIVERPOOL gave a grand dinner yester day, at Fife House. Mr. STRATFORD CANNING gave an elegant entertain ment yesterday, at his house in Berkeley-square. The Countess LUDOLPH had a small circle of fashion ables yesterday evening, in Gloucester-place. Lady Salmi entertained a distinguished party az dinner on Monday, at her house in Piccadilly. Mrs. MACDONALD will give a Quadrille Bail this evening, in Baker-street. Lord BYRON (according to a letter from Zlnte) has several literary and military Gentlemen near him, who are render ing great services to the Greeks. His Lordship, however, supports them entirely from his own purse. It is his intention to establish one or two Newspapers in the most populous parts of Greece. We find we were in error respecting the descent of the title of the late Sir HENRY Bart DUDLIY. The Baronetage was granted to him and his heirs male, but not in default of issue to the next of kin. The title, therefore, instead of going to his brother, EDWARD BAER Esq. is now extinct. Capt. and Mrs. PARKER have left town, for Brighton. NOTICE TO THE HOLDERS OP CERTIFICATES OF NaarouraNnKNTS.—Messrs. Fa LCONNIT and Co. and Mrriueorrat, SORVILLO, and Co. Administrators of the Neapolitan Rents, haying been informed that it is the general desire of the holders of Certifi cates to have a greater number of Coupons than has been hitherto attached to each Certificate, and thus to avoid the renewal of too fre quent borders, have the honour of announcing, that for all Certi ficates unprovided with Coupons, there will henceforth he delivered new borders of fourteen Coupons, attested by their signature in the ordinary form, and without expense. The Concert for the benefit of the Choral Fund at the English Opera House on Monday last, was well attended. The report of the Marry Wives of Windsor being converted into an Opera is totally untrue. The Play is about to be produced at Drury-Lane, with the whole comic strength of the company, and with no other additions, than as Amiens and Rosa lind, and Lorenzo and Jessica, have songs in As You Like It and The ]/spirant sf Venice, so Fenton, Mrs. Ford, and Mrs. Page are to war ble a few of our Bard's "native wood-notes wild !" The general bond of the Mexican Loan has been de posited in the Bank of England with the usual forms. The case of Smith the Missionary, who was recently tried by a Court-martial in Demerara, still remains, it is said, under the consideration of Government. The sum of 2.500.0001. in specie, being the amount of the Austrian Loan, which was landed at Dover on Friday last, bas arrived in safety in the Metropolis. Intelligence has been received that avalanches have done considerable injury to the Alps of Berne, and the villages of llasli, Gadmen, and Guttaneti. A substantial farmer from Kilbrin, in wh. , se custody fire-arms were found, and ten others, are for trial at the ensuing Sessions at Mallow, under the Insurrection Act. COVENT-GARDPN THEATRE. A nes+ Opera in three Acts was produced .here last night, Under the title of Antive - Latid or, The &Mtn front Slavery. Most of the overture, if not the whole of it, was from Rossini. It was spirited, peculiar. and had considerable variety. It was well played. Want led the orchestra with amazing vigour and precision ; and to his exertions in a great measure must be attri buted the encore with which it was honoured. The plot is sufficiently simple. The principal characters were thus disposed oft-- Aurelio di Montalto, Mr. Stm.ant—Gueseppo, Mr. W. FAWN —'rancredi, Mr. Cooess—Marcello, Mr. Dusussx—Perigrino, Mr. Faweerr.—Cl)mtante, Miss PATON—Biondina, Miss N. That— Lavinia, Miss lirmiort—Zanina, Miss Love. Almost four years have elaesed since Aurelio quitted Genoa, his native city, on an expedition against the Tunisians, and, failing, had become their prisoner, to gether with his attendant, Peregrino. Pr ior to leaving his native land he was betrothed to Clyntante, whose father died at the expiration of three years, and declared in his will, that unless she married within a year after his death his estates should not descend to her. By the villiany of his guardian, Gueseppo, the whole of Aurelids letters have been intercepted, and he is supposed by many to be dead. Clynante, however, still hopes that he exists, and in order to perform the condition of her father's will, and to prevent the family estates from falling into the hands of others, she persuades her cousin, Biondina, to assume the garb of manhood, with the name of Cetin, and to appear as her accepted suitor. Gireseppe, fearing the return of:Aurelio, is anxious to gain the hand of his sister Lavinia, that he may form some claim to the Mnntalto estates ; and Zoning, Lari• Ilia's attendant and Perez,' ino's wife, has long been tired of her nondescript state of existence, being neither a widow nor a spouse,; and longs for decisive intelligence. At this juncture the Opera commences. On the rising of the curtain, a finely painted, and tolerably ac curate view of the Mole of Genoa is presented ; a vessel arrives, commanded by a victorious captain, Tancredi, who has brought with him a number of Genoese whom he has liberated frnm slavery. The meeting between the parents and children, husbands and wives, brothers and relations who had been long sundered, was executed with considerable spirit, and produced some effect. Aurelio, doubting the faith of his mistress, Clyina rite, from his letters not having been answered, and no effort made for his liberation, disguises himself as an Abyssi nian, disfigures Peregrino also, and secures the assistance of his old friend Tancredi to forward his designs. He finds that Clyntante is actually on the eve of marriage with Ccelio, and being invited to the nuptials, as the friend of Tame, edi, he resolves on discovering himself at the moment she is about to give her hand to another, and to publicly expose her falsehood. While making known his determination to Tancredi, Ccelio overhears him, and immediately repairs to Clyntante to inform her of the discovery. In the meantime Peregrtno after, trying the truth and constancy of Zanina, has made her acquainted with his return, and had an interview with Gueseppo, whose roguery be becomes acquainted with, and learns from him the con stancy of Clyinaute. Of this Tancredi informs Aurelio, but he is still incredulous, and perplexed at the power of Ccelio. The time 107 the marriage ceremony arrives. gymanfe, apprised of the return of Aurelio, exhibits no signs of;surprise at his appearance in his true character, but upbraids him for his want of faith. The mean ava rice of Gueseppo is exposed, and he is compelled to settle his own estates on his ward Lavinia. Biondina ad vances in her female attire, and ail being satisfactorily explained, new weddings have to take place. Such is the outline of the plot. The dialogue is better than the general entremets between son.: , and' song, and occasionally contain souse good hits, though ' the humour which pervades it is, upon the whole, ratuer broader than desirable. Miss PATUN we have always thought a fine singer, but we never recollect to have heard her with greater pleasure than we did last night. Her last bravura was rapturously and deserved encored. The little ballad in the second act, which she accompanied with the harp, struck us as being very beautiful, and was sung with infinite taste and feeling. The whole of the music,thongh announced as bylkanoe, may be said to savour of the ROSSINI school ; and we are inclined to apply to it, the remark which is so con stantly in the months of connoisseurs in painting, namely, it wants breadth of effect. A soft light is dif fused over the whole, yet falling on no one part with sufficient strength to bring it forward into notice and rivet the attention. Such we should say was the fault of last night's music ; it had no prominent passages so far relieved from the general mass, as to leave no doubt upon the mind as to their superior and intrinsic excellence. The Opera was well got up, and announced for repetition this evening, amidst very general applause.— We subjoin a specimen of the song., which are far above the ordinary standard : DUETTO.—Cxvstawre, Catio—( Adapted from the French.) Lo! when showers desceuding, Weigh the lily's crest, Dow its frail cup, bending. Seems with woe opprest. Drops on drops assail her, Whelan each lucid led; The pale flow'r grows yet paler; Lost in hopeless grief ! (Amoco()) Zephyr, lightly sweeping O'er the blooming plain, Spies that lily weeping, Newly wash'd with rain : Fondly bends he o'er it, Blowing drops away, With a kiss restores it, Lady of the May ! C A V ATI N A.— AURELIO —(Rossnit.) Farewell! thou coast of glory, Where dwell'd my sires of yore! Their names, their martial story, Your trophied tombs restore! Farewell! thou clime of beauty! Where blooms the maid 1 love ; Fond thoughts in pleasing duty Around her ever rove ! What phrase to shape ' farewell' in, In vain this heart would tell; Winds blow—white sails are swelling— Oh! native land!—farewell' COLONIAL SLAVERY.—Petittons to both Houses of Parliament, praying for an amelioration in the condition of the Slave Population to his Majesty's Colonies, have been prepared, and will this week be handed about for signatures in Gloucester. THE HERMIT ABROAD.—The Month Review, speak ing of this lively Satirist, and useful Moralist of ed i r times, thus ingeniously compares him, and apparently with much propriety, to our favourite Sterne : 4' lioth," observes the Critic, " attempt cha racteristic pictures et French nature in its more prominent varietie3; and both wander ' from grave to gay, from live° y to severe,' with desultory caprice and veraatile emotion. In Sterne, we have more of intuition; in the Hermit, more of obcervation ; in Sterile, of feeling; in the Hermit, of s arcasm; in Sterne, of grace ; in the Hermit, of caricature ; in Sterne, of condensation ; in the Hermit, of repetition ; but many phenomena are noticed by the Hermit, which have originated since Sterne's :Lac." counrop COMMON•Pi.EAS.,:THIS • THOMAS _4 I V. j . -T. B. an. . T, EYSQ. The Lord Chief JuitiO Oivkoat? proceeded this , . morning to pronounce judgment on this case, which he observeJ, was an application.foc a new trial made by . Mr. Beaumont, on the part or an Insurance Com . — pany, on fobr gratinds: first, That the presiding Jtidge had misdireited the Jury; and, secondly. that true. bills for a conspiracy to defraud the Insurance Com- . pant had been found against the patties who' were the principal witness on the trial. These grounds, the Court were clearly of opinion, were not sufficient to warrant a new trial. With resi , ect to the second grouni; several high legal authorities had laid down an opinion concurring will; that he had delivered. The defendants alley two other grounds : Ist, That they were taken by snrpri , e: an.l,Aly, That new facts had come to their knowledge subsequent to the trial. Undt.uhtedly, if satisfactorily established, these were grounds for granting a new_ trial, but the Court would be very cau tious in examining the proofs on which these allegations rest.— The first ground rests wholly on the affidavit of Mr. Beaumont. who states that he 'steel relied on the known insolvency of the plain tiff as being Sufficient to prove the improbability of his having such A quantity of goods by him, and that be should be able to prove the probability, and perk !ps the certaimy, that the bills which the plain. tiff had got discoUnteS were to the discharge of other bill?. This, it would be recollected, was Ote affidavit 1)f an interested party, and was therefore to be looked at with suspicion. He ought to have informed the Court who were the witnesses who were to support this probability. They could rot, therciurr, on this ground grant a new trial. The new facts that bad come to his knowledge were supported by affidavits, hut then these affidavits were again met by others on the opposite side, so fully and so numerously; that they could not, under such a co in of testimony, where the affidavits put in were thus answered, and in some ins:lures by dis interested witnesses, after a full and dispassionate consideration, do otherwise than refuse the present motion for a new trial. The COURT therefore Of dacd the Rule granted to be discharged with coats. . . • ri l o pponent ? ask you wheiher it wbutd tbe more b ec oming to hear thisGeutleman without interruption, subject, of course, to whatever animadVersions he may 21terwards receive from those sho may follow him." Major D'Auirast then concluded reading his resolu tions, and expressed the regret he felt at detaining the rott ing while he obtruded himself upon their attention. fle a•stired them he was too conscious of his own in feriority to dispute pertinaciously the opinions of other men, w h o might think they had better information on the subject.—The following are the Resolutions :-- "1. It is the opinion of this Meeting that rational and defined Lberry is a blessing to Which the whole race of mankind have an original title. That in accordance with this principle, and being fully aware that a state of slavery is incompatible with those moral ties, those social feelings of gratitude Which in free countries bind the servant to the master, this Meeting anxiously looks forward to that desirable period when the Black population of the West Indian Colonies shall be deemed by the Legisiatire of the mother country to header advanced in moral attainments as to be worthy of being admitted to the condition of free labourers, and capable of properly a ppreciating the blessings of national freedom. 'I Fearlessly as this Meeting proclaims to the world the feelings by which they are actuated in common with their fellow-men ; anxious as they ever will be to give those feelings effect by a cordial c ooperation with the British Parliament; they still feel it a duty incumbent upon them to declare, that all unworthy or base appeals to the passions of the yet uneducated Negroes can only retard, in stead of promoting the beneficent views of the Legislature, and that it is necessary that the Negroes should be taught ' How very short teed is that liberty which comes hurried along by the hurt icanes of commotion, and which enthrones itself upon moral ruin.' "4 4. That it Is the opinion of this Meeting that the owners and occopiers of the soil of the B. Mob West ludiau Colonies are as 'such entitled to legislative protection as the owners and occupiers of the soil of Great Britain. * 5. That this Meeting relies upon the justice of Parliament, mains that in every measure which may hereafter be brought for ward in furtherance of ultimate, emancipation, a due regard will he bad to vested and acknowledged rights, and a conviction of the jus tice, and of the necessity of equitable indemnification." The CHAlRafatie— , " Is this amendment seconded?—. If is, I shall, in the discharge of my duty, put it to t h e m e eting ; if not, the same duty forbids nie to put it." There being no seconder, the amendment was not put. Mr. TAYLOR thought the question of Negro Emanci pation, alluded tis by the mover of the amendment, did not regularly come within the business of the day. He thought all those details ought to be considered in the first Instance by the Colonial Legislature. Mr. CAMPBELL regretted the interruption which the mover of the amendment had received ; and with re spect to his allusion to the final extinction of coercive labour among the negroes, he could assure him, that slavery had of late years become stripped of its terrors, and was passing gradually away towards its conclusion, laeo, he was sorry to s‘ty, the intemperate friends of abolitinu, 1;..d, by their unwise and impolitic conduct, arrested itL progress. He gave his cordial support to the petition, and thanked the Gentlemen who drew it up. Mr. JOHN FULLER (who had been very violent in his interruption of Major D'Albiac, near whom he stood) said, that they had a pretty good example of what was called " face labour" in St. Domingo, where the 13Iacks lidd it famously, for they could only grow coffee and sugar enough for their own consumption : a pretty thing that would be for the owners of British property in the West India Colonies. He hoped the King would at once ameliorate their interests by issuing a Proclama tion, stating that it was not intended by the Legislature to manumit the slaves. The question upon the Petition was then put, and carried with one dissentient. Mr. MANNING entirely concurred in the object of the Petition, in the awful crisis of West India atfairs, and moved that the Petition be presented to his Majesty by the Chairman, accompanied by such Members of both Houses of Parliament as wished to attend on the occa sun; and by the agents of the West India Colonitls. Some conversation arose upon this mode of present. ing the Petition, as tending to delay, if a Levee were not speedily held; and it was ultimately agreed, that the mode of presentation should be left to the Chairman. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the Meet ing dispersed. THEA I: MY. Yesterday afternoon the Duke of YORK, as Cotnmander•in-Chief, held a Levee at his Office, in the Horse Guards, which was at. tendel by a numerous assemblage of General Officers. Among them were the following : General the lion.

Tuesday se'nnight, the Royal Flfeshire Yeomanry Cavalry gave a dinner to Mr. Tuoam)s, of Charkton, their Colonel. in the 'ton tine, Cupar, on which occasion they presented him with a piece of plate, a massy silver table-lamp, of exquisite workmanship, as a me. morial of their regard and attachment. Mr. GILLESPIE, of Kirkton, presented the plate, accompanied by an appropriate Address, in the name of the corps, to which Colonel Trlnsism; made a suitable reply. The Depots of the 23d (loyal Welch Fusileers), the 77th (last Middlesex), and the Old (Highland) Regiments of infantry, have received orders to embark from Ireland, on board the Joseph Green transport, for the Isle of Wight.

A curious scene pt esented itself cm Saturday after norm about four o'cl: ck, at Knightsbridge, in conse quence of a post-chaise, in which were a young Lady and a Gentleman, having been stopped by two Gen tlemen ; from the convetsation and warmth of the parties, the popu:ace soon understood that the young Lady had eloped from her home in Charlotte-street, Rathbone-place, and the desire to get a sight of her was such, that tl.e road was blocked up for nearly an hour, and the young Lady was at length taken away in a Gentleman's chariot by her friends. She was under stood to be the only daughter of a Lady of immense property ; the gallant was an Officer belonging to a Regiment of Dragoon Guards. The Lady had gone to the house of a friend in Cavendish-square, ss ith the con sent of her parent, at nine in the morning, and it was in consequence of a note previous to her arrival in Caven dish-square, that the affair was discovered, the Gentle men who stopped them having been lying in wait for them, and spoiled their journey to the temple of Hymen.
