No remarks are made on this act of the British Government. The! Gazelles from the £sth to the 29th of January are filled with extracts from foreign Journals. The news of the death of the King of NAPLES was received at Madrid, on the 26th of January. Frankfurt Papers to the 3d inst. reached us this fore noon, but they contain no intelligence of importance. The Emperor of RUSSIA has issued a decree, reducing the tax on imported and native salt ; this will occasion a deficiency in the Russian Revenue of three millions of rubles. The Spanish Minister in Switzerland has circulated a notice, that all Spaniards residing abroad, and wishing to return to their native country, must obtain certi- Scams from the Spanish agents relative to their poli- tical conduct. Mr. PAKINHAM, the Secretary to the Briti,h Lega tidn in Switzerland, acts at present as Charge d'Affaires, in the absence of Mr. VAUGHAN the Minister. The French Papers of Sunday and Monday have reached us. The most absurd stories continue to find their way into these Papers. One Journal tells us that I Congress is to be held at Paris in spring ; this is con tradicted by the Dolle: another Journalist states, that the English. General BLUNT has arrived at Lisbon, and it is thought that he is sent " to choose cantonments for twenty or thirty thousand men, who are to be sent to pass the fine season in Portugal:" Then exclaims the veracious Joutaalist, " We are on the e•e of great events, which may have a decided influence on the Continental Powers; for if these English troops should arrive, France will be obliged; on her part, to augment the force she still has in Spain. This collision may be attended with serious consequences." This will be news to the British Cabinet, who have strangely omitted so strong a season for augmehting our army, as that of having 30,000 men to send to " pass the fine season in Portugal." M. de WOLRONSICY, the Extraordinary Ambassador from the Emperor of Russia, to congratulate CHARLES X. upon his accession to the throne, has had an audience of his Majesty, and was received with great pomp, the DAUPHIN and French Ministers being present at the audience. He made a speech which was given at length in the Moniieur of the following day, but the Kt sro's answer was omitted. The Times of this morning sup plies the omission, and gives the following as a correct copy of the KING'S answer : " I receive with pleasure the congratulations which you convey to me in the name of the Emperor of all the Russia., and you may assure him of the sincerity of the friendship which unites me to him. fam as much attache , ' as your powerful Monarch to the tl,:ctrines of the Holy Alliance, and 1 shail do all that lies in my power to maintain them. Tell him from me, that as long as he and I continue united, nothing is to be feared for the tranquillity of Europa." That nothing is to be feared for the tranquillity of Europe, we feel assured, but it will not depend entirely on the union of Russia and France; it is the common interest of all Powers to remain at peace: nor is there any question on which a just or reasonable cause of quarrel could be grounded. The Constilutionnd con tains the following observations on the Speech of his Britannic MAJESTY at the commencement of the pre sent Session : " The Speech from the Throne, which the LORD CHANCELLOR spoke at the opening of the English Par liament, has been exi ccted with impatience ; curiosity was aaxiaus to know shat language the British Go vernment would hold in the new situation it has chosen. It was what ought to have been expected from Mr. CANNaG'S abilities; it is simple ar.d moderate; but this moderation shews the strength and fixedness of the resolutions ; it at. the same time proves that the Eng lish Ministry are well aware of the position of the Con tinental Powers, who, in separating their interest from that of the people, have, so to speak, norally disarmed themselves, and could not undertake a hostile move ment against England without hastening their ruin, and even compromising their own existence. " The decisive measure is at last made. England takes the proper measures to confirm by treaties the commer cial relations which exist between her and the States or South America which have seceded from Spain. Now as treaties can only be concluded with Independent States,, it is evident that the ords r f the King of ENG LAND are a formal acknowledgment of the independ ence of the Old Spani , h Colonies. This is without doubt the most important event of the present period." Yesterday the Cabinet Millis.ers dined with the Earl of Hananwsv, at his house in Grosvenor-square, being the first Cabinet Dinner the Noble Earl has given this seasona Mr. Secretary Past. was prevented tiom attending the Krures Court yesterday, by indisposition. The Right Hon. Gentleman continues confined to his house witk a severe cold. Earl Ballwin tranucted the official duties of the Right Hon. Secretary with the KING in his absence. We are happy to state that Mr. Secretary PEEL is better this morning. The Duke of CLARENCE came to town yesterday motning,from his residence at Busby. His Royal Highness left town, at half-past four in the afternoon, on his return to Bushy. Prince Pouczanc,the French Ambassador, transacted business yesterday, at the Foreign Office, Downing-street. The Marquis of SALISBURY is about to launch out with a residence and establishment suitable to his rank and fortune : Downshire House, in Hanover-square is to be his future residence. LOrd MARCUS HILL is preparing to accompany Sir CHAILLISSTUAII? to Lisbon. The Host. ROBERT S. DUNBAR is appointed one of the Commissioners of the Navy Board, in the room of the late Hon. Bouvwz. We understand that the actual receipt at the treasury of Covent-Garden Theatre, on the first night of Miss Foorg's ap. pearance, this season, was nine hundred pounds, sigma Millings, the largest sum ever received. In 15'21, by the bursting of the dikes, or sea walls, on the Dutch coast, 72 villages were overwhelmed by an inundation, in which 100,000 persons perished. Workmen have been employed for some days past in making preparations for taking down the ruins in the High-street, Edinburgh, caused by the late destruc dire rues. • sios ritE Akbit • The augmentation of the itligimeets in India is to / he sine Writ the Company's Spring ships.

The Newfoundland Papers contain the particulars of a Public Meeting of the inhabitants, held the 3d of January, to take into consideration the Report of the Committee appointed to negociate with the English Government, respecting the state of the fisheries, and the agricultural and other important interests of the Co lony. The Report of the Committee was much ap proved of, and a memorial to Lord BATUURST, regard ing the decline of trade and the fisheries, was agreed to. The hurricane of 21st December, threw down the co lossal statue of St. Christopher, at Riga. In its fall it killed a soldier of the 4th Regiment of the Marine. Between five and six o'clock on Wedne.day se'nnight, a shot was fired into the drawing-room window of Mr. Whistler's house, No. 5, Mount•street, Dublin. The slugs were found on the floor. In consequence of a new regulation, the Foreign Am bassadors at the Court of Stockholm, enjoy unlimited exemption from duties of Custom, on all goods directly addressed to them. A fire broke out about seven o'clock on Friday even ing in the premises of Mr. Reid, cloth-manufacturer, in Chamber-street, near Ardee-street, Dublin. The ac cident originated is the overheating of the stove in the drying-house, which bursting, communicated the flames to the warps of the cloth, which are at this season of the year necessarily dried by this means—all the combus tible matter in the drying-house became soon ignited, and the fire spread with much rapidity. The back houses were burned. One of the family of a respectable weaver in Alyth (a boy five years of age), is so well acquainted with the Hebrew language, that he can read and translate dif ferent passages in the Hebrew Bible, with as much per spicuity as some who fill a pulpit. He is also acquainted with all the characters of the Arabic language. Rail-roads in France are preferable to canals, from the difficulty and expense of supplying water where there are so few small streams. An experiment of a rail-road is now making near Lyons ; but there has been such a total disregard of economy in everything connected with it, that it is much doubted whether it can ever pay. The expellse will be at least five times as much as it would be in England, and it is entirely under the direction of the Government Establishment , of Potts and Chaussies. eo f. - • , ,• etter ay, at two o'clock, his lkilue.trir held a Ciiirt at his Palace, in Pall-mall, which was attended by— The Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of the Connell, thi Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Secretaries of State fiir the Foreign and Catawba Departments, the First Lord of the Adrniralty, the Master-Generat of the Ordnance, the Pre. sident of the Board of Comiroal, the Chancellor of the'Duchy of Lancaster, the Mister of the Hum, the Vice Chamberlain, Earl Cathcart (Gold Stick), the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the.

The pleasing little farce, entitled More Blunders than One ; or, The Irish Valet, was oil Monday night. revived at thisTheatre. We stated, on its first appear ance, that the incidents of the piece arise out of the blunders and mistakes of Larry Hoologan, a well-. . meaning Irish servant, in his attempts to reconcile the. jealous-quarrels which hourly take place between his master and the Lady to whom he is about to be married (Miss S. Boorri). The acting of Mr. Porten, as Larry, reminded us of some of the beat delineations of Irish character. In a word, it was such as to keep the house; which was crowded to excess, in a continued roar or laughter. Some of the scenes ate so exquisitely hu morous and so inimitably pourtrayed, that it would be useless to attempt a description of them ; to he fully ap preciated They must be witnessed. Miss S. Boosts, as the Love sick Lady, and Miss PARROCK s her attendant) (the Sweetheart of Larry Hoologan), played their parts with their wonted spirit and effect, and were loudly and justly applauded. Letters were received yesterday from Pernambuco; dated the 26th of December, being three days later than the previous accounts. The prisoners from Bahia had reached that place, and the Balfour transport, in which they had been conveyed, was tying moored be tween two Brazilian vessels of war. The order from Rio de Janeiro for immediately disarming them was about to be put into execution, previcau to their being trans ferred to that place. It is said the differences between Lord COCHRANE and the Brazilian Government, which had created in him an aversion to that service, have been satisfactorily adjusted, and that his Lordship has abandoned his intention of returning to England. COACH ROBBERY.—Another valuable parcel has, within a few days past, fallen into the hands of the adepts at coach robberies.—lnformation of the affair has been given to the Police, from which it appears, that some days back a parcel containing Bills of Ex change, specially indorsed, a number of Country Bank notes, and several Lottery Prizes, made payable to bearer, were sent up from Gloucester by the Mail di rected to Messrs. Middleton and Company,. of Skinner street, Snow-hill. The parcel was placed with nume• roes others in a strong box, under one of the seats in the inside of the coach, and on reaching town it was missed ; but as the box remained locked, and bore no marks of violence, and as the other parcels were all safe, it was at first thought that it- might by accident have been left behind. Subsequent inquiries, however, have led the Proprietors to conclude that the box must have been opened with a false trey, and the parcel ab stracted. The party, whoever he may be, seems to have had some skill at selection, as the parcel he took was the only one of value in the box. The value of the parcel was nearly 4001. Saturday evening a fire was discovered in a bake. house in Queen's Place, back of Greenside-street, Edin bargh, which extended to a smith's shop adjoining, and before it was subdued, destroyed most of the interior' of both places. The inhabitants in the vicinity were greatly alarmed, and many began to remove - their effects. The fire, however, was kept in check by throwing buckets of water, and on the arrival of the fire engines was soon got under.—About the same time, a fire broke out in a cellar in the Covenant Close, but it was extinguished without doing any material damage. —Sunday night, about nine o'clock, another alarm was given of a fire in Roxburgh Close. It was occasioned by a foul chimney, and was extinguished after consum ing some of the joists of the house it began in. Monday se'nnight, a young man calling himself Ro #rt Maitland, from Aberdeen, succeeding in passing several forged notes of the Royal Bank of Scotland, in Stonehaven, but was apprehended while vending ano her, and has been committed for trial.
