Most of the troops who had joined in the revolt, have again returned to their duty, and the remainder have taken the road to Spain ; and some of the Chiefs had embarked, amongst whom was the Marquis ABRANTE.S. Accounts from from Madrid state, of the 23d October, that the last news received there from Lisbon, caused an explanation of a nature not very agreeable, between the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs and Mr. LAMB, Minister of his Britannic MAMMY. This circumstance bas caused all the Ministers to depart immediately for the Escurial, where they remained in council in the presence of the KINO. This morning we received the Journal de St. Peters birgA to the 22d ult. The EMPEROR arrived at St. Petersburgh on the 18th. The following are extracts ST. PETERSBURGH, Oclosza 18. Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress and the young Grand Doke Alexander, arrived in this city to day at half past eleven. They alighted at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kagan, where Te Deunt was sung, after which the Metropolitan, in a few words, offered his con gratulations to their Majesties, and gave his pastoral ►enediction. As they left the Church an immense mul titude, drums together by the desire to see our beloved Sovereign and his august Consort, welcomed them with the most joyful acclamations. In the evening the illumi nations were more splendid than those that took place on the receipt of the news of their Majesties coronation, of which we have already given an account. The Grand Duchess Helen returned from Moscow on Sunday last the 15th). _ . .

A Flanders Mail, received this morning, has brought us the following intelligence: UTRECHT, (krona 31. =TRACT OF A PRIVATZ LRTTIIR FROM CURACOA. DATRD 80TH AUGUST. " According to accounts from Colombia, the disputes &kerma Paez and the Government of Bogota will pro bably be amicably adjusted; it is true, however, that the inhabitants of Maracaibo, the capital of the depart ment of Wirt, also desire the review of the Constitu. tion of Colombia, and petitioned the Government that this review of the Constitution may be made at an earlier period than is at present fixed for it : all this has passed in the greatest order, without the smallest act of insnbordinatioa or disregard to the supreme authority." In the same letter, we find the following passage : " We have little to say of the gold mine (as it is called) of Aruba, only that the work is continued with two.' thirds of the number of people; and that gold con tinues to be found in small pieces, in more than one place in the defiles, but not so much, and by no means in such quantities as at the beginning of the operations in 1824, and for some time afterwards. For my part, I believe, that there is still much gold in Aruba, dis persed, indeed, but still to be found. by employing per sons skilled in mining property, to e x amine the places where the precious metal has been discovered. .4 The engine/Ts now here, are busily employed in the survey of the island, and have made such progress, that only a - fourth part remains unfinished ; so that it is probable they will have completed it before the orders for the erection of the fortifications arrive." Nov. I.—lt is announced, by an Order of the Day, that every division of infantry is to furnish one hundred and fifty volunteers for India. These troops, about 3,000 in ' number, are to forth a separate corps,during the two years that they are to remain in India. Many advantages are promised them, in consequence of which many officers and a great number of soldiers have offered themselves. BNREIC, °evens Vt. The mortality here is uncommonly great, for 117 deaths have already occurred in this month, vrhereu in doe last 10 years, the average annual number of deaths has been between 135 and 140. ARN Int id, Nom ura34 We learn from Friesland , that the mortality in the month of October, was in most places greater than in 1 of . the preceding month. It was thought that the seven weather bad produced simile good effect, but the time was too short to speak decidedly. SARONG, Ormuz 14. We have ins' learned that the Doha of Saxe Coburg has refund. his ratification in the convention for the partition of the territory of Saxe Gotha and Altenburg, of which such frequent mention bas been nude. It is probable that this affair has been brought before the German Diet. We have received the Elate of Friday and Saturday, The former is chiefly hlkd with the intelligence which bad already reac►ed us through other channels, vie. Prince himentore's official 'dispatches to tke Russian Government ; the Decree of the King of the Nitsweat.axas respecting the free navigation of the Rhine, and the reply of the States-General to his Majesty's speech ea opening the Session. From the latter we hare extracted articles of cond. 'dentine interest regarding Russia, Persia, and Turkey, as weU as some recent information from Portugal. These extracts will be found in our pteeeding Columns. An extract frosialse Memsrial Borelais, states that Dr. Faasseu., Who since the fine initerection in Spanish America had exersised the sepreme authority bi Paraguay, bad abdicated in favour of Mend Gus m, but that in consequence of the absence of that the Secrttary of the Government, Lamas, was take charge of the *Wt . :ministration ad interim.

From the aarratiie of jiiihce Miami toss, k appears that the English Charge d'Alfaites bad frequent and fuU communi cation both with the Schah and *kik the Ilbislan General, and that he held communication with Prince M Wilmer on the g7th of July, at Sults:lla, at the express coirmand'of the - Schah, on the means to -be adopted, whereby to avisid a rupture between fhe two States, and that, subsequently to.that date, frequent confereekes, in *hick that Gentleman held a part, took place on the subject: The Austria* Observer states, that the Chief Tdriish Commissioner at Akermann arrived at Jassy on the 11th nit. bit his way to Constantinople, bearing the Contention agreed on at Akermann, by t►e Turkish and Russian Plenipotentiaries, for the Sultan's ratification. All apprehensions of war bad ceased at Jassy; Se Turkish Commkosioners were expected to return to Constantinople at the end of October.

The estimated annual valet (according to the Commissioners return) is (exclusive of timber) 275/. while the annual value, per former surveys, was 1101. GLASGOW, Nov. 4.—Yesterday that fine ship, the Mount-Stewart Elphinstooe. was launched from Mr. &me's building-yard, Greenock. The day was uncommonly fine, and added greatly to the beauty of the scene. She went off in fine style, amidst the cheers of an immense number of spectators, assembled to witness the gratifying event. The Mount Stewart Elphinstone is a beautiful vessel, US tons register, and is tie property of JOIIIN Ammo, Esq. of this city. She has been built expressly for the Bombay trade, and is intended as a regular trader betwixt the Clyde and that Presidency. MENAI BltlDoll.—.--This stupendous structure, though erected at se great a height above high water mark Is, it appears, scarcely out of the reach of the lofty masts of a ship. Sunday, the 24th September, as the ship Cyrus, Captain Wismar Davison, of Newcastle, was passing under it, she struck her main royal mast head in the bridge, which fell on the deck. The height from the top of the main royal mast head to the water was after wards ascertained to be no less than 110 feet.

A letter from the Greek Agent at New York, dated 7th alt. states that the large frigate destined for Greece was provi sioned, fully maimed, and only waited a wind to proceed to sea. HAMBURGH, OCT. 31.—This afternoon the English packet arrived with the Mail of Friday, the 27th. The steam beat which left London on Saturday, and should arrive to-day, is not yet come, as we are going to press. On the 28th we had a violent storm here. A milk barge from this city, was upset in crossing the Elbe, and, as far as we can learn, ten persons perished. Among them were a man and his wife, who have left three children : the number of the persons lost cannot be exactly ascertained, as there were several passengers in the barge. The intelligence from Lisbon in the Gazette of the 18th ult. is extremely satisfactory. The Infanta pie sided at a Council of Ministers, which sat for two hours, and the Government is evidently acting with energy, to defeat the machinations of the enemies of the charter. The feeling of the military and the people is decidedly in favour of the Constitution, and a similar feeling is general throughout the kingdom. While the Portuguese duly appreciate the value of the charter as being essential to their happiness, there is little to ap prehend from the intrigues of the degenerate part of the Clergy, or the efforts of the serviks. Gen. Dann, on entering his office as Minister of War, was surrounded by more than 100 officers, who entreated to be sent to Algarve, as volunteers, against the rebels. The War Minister had proceeded to the seat of the insurrection with a large force from Lisbon, and the Baron Quin tilla, Minister of Marine, was to take his porffituille ad i h interim.

THE SAFFRON HILL MURDER. _ HATTON.GAIM4 7 -THIS DAY. Some of the witnesses who were examined on the Coroner's Inquest on Ann Perry, who is supposed to have been murdered by John Ambrose, now in custody, having expressed some reluctance to appear against him, unless they are satisfied for their loss of time, Mr. Barnsley, the beadle, of the Saffron.hill Liberty, of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, applied for summonses against all of them, requiring their attendance at eleven o'clock in the forenoon of W ednesday next, before the Magistrate (Mr. Rogers) at this office, the-day fixed for the re-examination of the prisoner. This morning summonses were issued against the following per sons, whose testimony is very material on the part of the prosecu. don: Charles Thomas, who lodged on the same floor with the prisoner and the decea sed, and heard them at high words on the Saturday night, and also beard a very heavy fall to the ground ; against William Robertson, who lodged in the room under neath that occupied by the deceased, who proved that the prisoner on the Sunday asked bim If any water came through the ceiling out of his room, as be had upset some • against Mr. Mil burne and Mr. Shepherd , the surgeons ; and against Sarah Jay and her husband, the owners of the house where the deceased lodged, who proved that after the death of the deceaaed,the prisoner declared to them that she (the deceased) bad gone to her brother's on a visit, at the same time the unfortunate woman was lying dead on the floor, weltering in blood, and covered over with sacks behind some chairs, as stated on the Coroner's Inquest. The wretched man conducts himself in a very cool and collected manner, and erpresses himself certain of an acquittal He says, that although he wished to get rid of her, be never harboured a thought of murdering her—that he never took a pint of beer away from his home in his life, and that she had robbed him, and pledged every snide belonging to him that she could lay her hand on ; in fact, be says she has been his ruin. He a few days before he was appre hended made up his mind to surrender himself, as he felt quite un happy and miserable In his mind; and when he was taken by Betty the constable, be felt quite happy that be had been released from his misery. NEW YORE, OCT. 4 —The British Vice Consul died at Port-au-Prince on the 46th of August, and the French Vice Consul on the lit ult. The funeral of the late Alderman MAGNA! took place on Saturday. It passed from Wandsworth along the South wark bridge between two and three o'crOck, and was within view of the spot where the contest was going forward for the gown vacant by the worthy Alderman's death. The body Is Interted in the Church in Vintry Ward. ANOTHIM MURDZIL..-MOnday, .70.6 Reay, of this City, labourer, was fully committed to our gaol, charged , on a verdict of a Coroner's Inquest, with the wilful murder of Jane Myers, with whom he improperly co habited, by violently kicking her in various parts of her body and dragging her about the room by her feet, etc. The deceased, it appears, was nearly seventy years of age, and the prisoner not more ibex 40. The reason assigned for this atrocious deed is, they having quar relled respecting some whiskey.—Carlisle Paper. Notwithstanding the activity of the local Magistrates of Leatherhead and the neighbourhood, they have not been able during the past week to throw any light upon this mysterious transaction, and no clue bas yet been discovered to the retreat of Mary Ayres and Cobbler Will. It is thought they are concealed in London. When Lee, the officer, went to the lock-up on Satur day for the purpose of removing Ambrose, the man charged with the murder of Ann Petry, he found him asleep. Having roused him, Lee proceeded to put on the handcuffs; the prisoner then said, " Oh, you need not be afraid of my running away, I'll walk quiet, for, thank Gos, I am quite innocent." Lee then inquired if he had any money about him? to which the wretched man answered in the negative, and begged Lee would give him a glass of gin as he went along, as he de clared he was almost dead. The parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, have undertaken to prosecute. PHlL—Saturday night, shortly after the inhabitants had retired to rest, the kitchen of a chandler's shop in Clarke-street, Brewer's treen,Westminster,was observed by some persons casually passing to have taken fire. Four young men lodgers slept in the attic, two of whom only were in bed, and it was with the greattist difficulty one of them was brought to the first Boor window and down the ladder. The flames had now reached the whole interior; but the arrival of several engines, coupled with the exertions of the firemen, stopped their progress, and confined the injury to the one building, which was reduced to a skeleton. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Miss MITPORD 9 6 Tragedy of F9scari was produced on Saturday night, to a numerous and respectable audience. The characters in the Tragedy were thus disposed or: Foscari (Doge of Venice) . Mr. Young, Fraiscesca Fascari (his son) . Mr. C. KURIL; aitni Brim Mr. WARDS, Count Zeno Venetian Benton Mr. Hosaanow, Dalai° Mr. 24111T0W, Cosnso (Donato's sen) . Mr. Seam, CWao (a follower of Count Erlsso) Mr. Frrsuoasis, Camilla (Donato's daughter) Mrs. &Amax, Laws . . . Mile HEIST. - - - The history of Foscari is too well known for a repo. tition of it here to be requisite. He was made Doge of Venice in the year 1423, and so remained for above 30 years afterwards. The events of his life which are made use of in the play, are an attempt on the part of some of the Senators to depose him, and the banishment of his son on a charge of murder. The histoty has fur nished little more than a hint. The plot is the author's. When the play commences Francesco Foscari is absent, engaged in war against Brescia, and has sent home letters announcing his success, which have been intercepted by .Erino, a discontented Se nator. Francesco is betrothed to Camilla, daughter of Donato, a powerful Member of the Senate, and an old friend of the Doge.— The play opens with a disclosure of the intern ions of Erizxs. He do. elates to Cato his desire to gab the Ducal Crown, and as Donato has just been refused a -request, which he has made to the Doge, he contrives to excite his anger against him. In the Second Act Brits* proposes to the Senate the removal of Fosoari, on account of his 'advanced age, and his preference of the people to the nobility.— Foscari is engaged in this debate, when his son arrives victo rious, secures Erisao of unfairness, censures Donato for his con duct towards the Doge, and with his own hand takes the bon net from his father's brow. The Senators, however, re-elect him. Frawley% after in vain entreating the pardon of Donato for his hasty reproaches, makes an appointment through Cosno to meet Camilla. This assignation is overheard by Eris's. On the same evening the Doge gives a feast at the palace, but Donato and Erins refuse to attend. Francesco andantino' meet. Their conversation is interrupted by the sound of some one approaching, and Francesco, by Ca/nit/it's desire, immediately departs.—Soon after be has left ' her, a cry is beard of " Murder Foscari and the scene suddenly changes to the Ducal Palace. Here the festivities are interrupted by news that Donato has been murdered, and Francesco is charged by Cosa, and Eri=o with the crime, and taken into custody. The next scene is his trial. The dead body is brought in. Eriz-a and Canto declare that they saw Francesco jump from the balcony about the time when the murder was committed, and his sword and cloak are found with the dead body. Camilla is next brought forward. and reluctantly admits that she heard the words " lurder" and " Foseari." Francesco is found guilty, and condemned to ba nishment. Camilla, still believing him innocent, resolves to accom. pany him, in spite of the dissuasion of her brother. They are going forth together, when Cosmo arrives to prevent them. He insults Francesco to whom Erin' gives his sword. They fight, and Francesco falls mortally wounded. The innocence of Frontons now becomes manifest. It turns out that Cdso, a follower of Erie'', had been seen linking near the Donato palace, and, on his appre. hension, jewels belonging to the deceased having been found on his ,person, he bad confessed himself the murderer. It seems that bet bad, for a high bribe from Erizso, agreed to destroy Francesco Foos tart, and being met by Deltilo, whilst in pursuit of his intended victim, bad slain him instead, and possessing himself of the cloak and sword which the young lover had left in the ball, had plunged that sword the .lead body, and contrived the other circumstances which led to the trial and cosidenutation of the Doge's guiltless son. itrizzo, tallith+. e in his vengeance, admits the truth of this. Fran cesco dies, and the Certain falls. . Of these materials Miss MITNORD has worked out what may with strict justice be called a beautiful Tragedy. The deep pathos of many of the situations speaks for itself; and the diction is always elegant, and occasionally vigorous. Among the more bold and pas sionate bursts may be enumerated the situation where Francesco first reprehends the ungrateful Senate for their ingratitude to his father; the trial scene, in which he challenges the rack, and desires to have death rather than banishment; and especially the little point (in the same scene) where he refuses to accept assistance for his fainting mistress from the treacherous Erizzo. The verse of the Play is always smooth ; the poetry very full of imagination, and constantly abounding with natural touches both of spirit and feeling. The authotetv has sts managed, moreover, as to give parts of considerable length and importance to almost all the peiformets ern. ployed. Mr. YOUNG plays the elder toreari--;whuse interest arises chiefly, after the second act, out Of the misfortunes of his son—very curiously. And Mr. Cr KIMBLE looked and acted most admirably in Francesco; nothing at all comparable to it could be found upon the stage; and, in such a character, it is impossible to desire that anything should be better. In addition to these powerful helps, Mr.WARDa and Mr, SEIM; as Erizzo and Cosnso, have both considerable opportunity for display ; and Mrs. SLosAw acted the part of Camilla, especially the latter and more tender scenes of it, with a pathetic softness and temperance which deserved, u it excited, general approbation. Considerable pains have been bestowed upon the appointing and getting up of the piece; the scenery is very splendid, and there is a fancifully arranged dance introduced into the ban. gaming scene in the third act. The first scene, a street in Venice, is one of the best pieces of painting perhaps that the theatre has produced. Upon the whole, the play went off as it merited, with unusual applause ; and Miss MITTORD is entitled to this high commendation — that she has produced a tragedy of the legitimate drama —not a pantomime of moonlight, and procession, and tinsel. Mr. YOUNG announced the piece for repetition with great applause; but, contrary to the usual ESP torn nu epilogue was given. The following is the PROLOGUE. For riches famed of yore, and once as free As her own element, the bounding sea, Fair Venice, now fare from her " palmy sate,' Broods o'er hes palace-city desolate; Bach mart deserted, each Palladian haU, Vacant and ruinous, proclaims her fall. Yet still one triumph of her ancient fame Odds her decay, and lingers round her name s 'Tie, that beneath the proud Venetian dome T►e Tragic Musoltath Sz'd her favourite hem; ; 'Tie, that her very name makes young hearts glow With deep remembrance of some glorious woe. Them Shylock whetted his relentless knife; There poor Othello won his murdered wife ; There Pierre, stout traitor, the awed State defied; There Jaffee loil, and Belvidere died. And there the Immortal Bard, who all too soon Fell in the blaze of Fame's effulgent noon, Lamented Byron ! twice a tale bath told Of princely anguish in the days of old s How 'salon the Senate Felled, fired With vengeful hate, by their stem doom aspired !

Deem not of it wont! That 'de a theme made famous by his vase. Ere his bold Tragedy burst into day, Her trembling hand had closed this woman's play. A different track she followed—Oh ! forgive Her errors ye, who bid the Drama live ! To your indulgence she commends her cause, And hopes, yet dares not ask, your kind applause!
