The Ulegvtits corvette, the Cygne brig, and y Akyme schooner, are also ordered to be ready to sail at a mo istest's notice. At the same time, a yard for snaking rockets Is forming near the Polygon, under the direction of M. Bowe, and a considerable num ber of Congreve rockets are to be ready by the Ist of May. The Syrene frigate. Captain M. Charmasseht, sails to-day or to morrow for the blockade of Algiers, and she carries out M. Mas sieu de Clerval, who is to take the command on that station. He has received directions as to the operations that are to be under taken in that neighbourhood. The government is hiring not forty, hut sixty vessels at Marseille. A Capitaine de Vaisseau is gone there to examine these vessels. Vice-Admiral de Rommel has received orders to detain in the Levant all vessels yet there, which have/seen freighted on account of Government. This news con firms the report lately in circulation, viz. that fresh troops are to ►e sent to the Morea. The Armide frigate is about to put to an. The following vessels are repairing at Toulon :—The Ville de Marseille, the Provenee,the Sciplon, and the Breslaw ships of the line ; the Oise and the Emulation, corvettes ; the iphiginle, the Didon, the Pallas, the Amphytrite, frigates; and the Rust, the Dragon, the Aierte, and the Royale, brigs. Meat of these vessels were laid up on their return from the Le vant, but fresh orders have hastened their reitment. The Circe frigate is to.return from Mahon. The last news frem the Levant says that the Trident, a ship of the line, which was to leave far France about Dan Miser 35, has received countermanding orders, and that it will remain in the Archipelago till fresh orders are received. Nothing is said of Ad miral Rigny. From the Journal des Debats. PARIS, JAN. 18. When the Chambers meet the question win be raised whether they and the Ministry can go on together; and on the first words of the Chamber of Deputies to the Throne, depends the future fate of the Chamber and of the Ministers—of the Chamber which the King can dissolve to-morrow—which is as immortal, by its own nature, as the Monarch; and of the Ministers, whom the King can send sway in an hour, and who in an hour may die, as well as the hopes of the faction which has pissed them where they are. The Address of the Chamber cannot fall to reach this common enemy. to show them to the Prince as France sees them. There is not a citizen who has not contributed his emotions and his anger to the Address; and an Address so composed the Ministry cannot resist. It is a different thing to feel confidence when in a small Com mittee on the subject of the Address—to laugh at the Chamber which has expressed its wishes—and to find themselves in the pre sence of the Chamber the day after an hostile Address, and listen to severe language, having no voices to defend them—obliged to reply to a thousand questions—to feel that they are there in defi ance of the Chamber, which has rejected them. This position is untenable ; one cannot contend against ail ; even the silence of the Chamber would be a defeat. What then must be its contempt and its anger What will then be done ? It will be necessary to resign. For if the Ministry did not give up the Chamber, the Chamber must give up the Ministry ; and in case the Monarch convokes another Parliament, that will give to the Ministers three months longer life, and this all. But this Chamber dissolved, another must be summoned. The hostile Address will be renewed, the Deputies sent away will again return to the Throne the bearers of the same unalterable wishes, but the Monarch will be convinced by the unanimous voice of the people of the truth of their complaints. The circle from which the Ministry will seek to escape will be drawn closer ; they will be tin- able to escape ; the Monarch will no longer regard them, aad they must go out. Then every thing will return to its proper place. Constitutional France, always having her King at her head—for she cannot proceed without her King—will go forward with increased force and liberty towards the great destiny which awaits it, with out thinking further of the momentary obstacles that impeded it.

But he must be fond to foolish root among our neighbours, to be eradicated bil sees, and inaccessible to the constant teachings of expo any Ministerial trickery. While we deplore the total rience, who looks to see the country redeemed, by the I absence of talent and patriotism in our own Ministers— very spirits who are driving it headlong to destruction. while we know that the corruption of Parliament, and non-existence of a National Party among the Aristocracy, leaves so little room for hope in England, we derive infinite consolation from a settled belief that the people of France are destined'to give another splendid lesson to surrounding nations. Thanks to the progress of civilisation, the second lesson will not be sullied by the follies and crimes of the first ! • We call the attention of the public to an article from the Paguete de Portugal, which will be found in the first page of this sheet, entitled " Don MIGUEL and his Protectors." There is a prejudice—or rather a mis taken notion—too common, that England has too many evils to deal with at home to engage in what is passing amongst other Powers. This, to any one of ordinary comprehension, is just the same as to say, that because, a merchant has, within nis family, wrongs to mend, or misfortunes to repair, he is authorised to disoblige his friends, neglect his customers, and disappoint his creditors. It must not be forgotten that the foreign affairs affecting this country am but too olosaly connootod with its domestic concerns ; and that both must neces sarily go forward pari passu—if any regard is to be paid to our prosperity. But it is not now the question, whether our rulers should, or should not take a share in the affairs of Portugal. The time is gone by, to leave that to the discretion of the Noble DUKE or the Noble EARL. Even from the beginning of the at tempt to destroy the blessed sway of constitutional go vernment in Portugal, by fixing Don MIGUEL in that country, it was decided by the parties, alluded to in the article from the Paguete de Portugal, in the affirmative ; nor is it sought now, in order to establish the incontro vertibbs truth of this, to quote the parts which Sir CHARLES STUART, Sir WILLIAM AVoulltT, Lord COWLEY, Sir FREDERICK LAMB, and Lord STRANG FORD, played in the transaction. We could only desire to point out the solicitude shown by his MAJESTY to assert the legitimate rights of the QUEEN, and restore peace, comfort, and prosperity, to the Portuguese. This anxiety was ex pressed under the authority of his MAJESTY'S speech— and the question now is, whether Ministers have met his MAJESTY'S wishes, and adopted those means and appli ances, which they had within their power for the accom plishment of so desirable an object. It will be a matter of curiosity to see how it shall be accounted for by our diplomatists, that—when almost all the individuals of the royal families of Naples, Sardinia, France, Spain, and Portugal were put in motion—the grand project of dis posing of the old QUEEN has been defeated. There will, no doubt, be a great deal of equivocation about it ; but the fact is, that the hero of WATERLOO has been outwitted by a handful of crafty priests. A trial took place yesterday in the Court of Common Pleas, which was of much importance to the freedom of discussion at public meetings. The plaintiff most mildly and inoffensively had stated his opinions in support of his own, and the general interests. The defendant ad journed his reply till the meeting was over ; when he made use of an argementung ad hominemto the plaintiff, which—if it were allowed—would soon gag effectually the rightful freedom of debate in every assembly. The Jury thought so ; and, very properly, gave an admonitory verdict of Fifty Pounds. 4 0.—_ The roads are in su ate from snow and floods, that the mail-coaches have been more obstructed than for many years past. One-half of the mail-coaches only had reached the General Post Office by nine o'clock this morning ; and the letter-carriers were dispatched with such letters as had arrived up to half-past ten—at which hour none of the Western Mails had come in. CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to the great fall of mow, the inland letters were not de livered this morning until a very late hour. Consequently we are deprived u yet of shipping intelligence. The French malls also remain due. Consols opened this morning at the ume price they left of yesterday, 946 to i for February and 931 for money, but at present the market is not so good, and Consols may be quoted 94 sellers, with little or nothing doing. This being the day of paying and receiving the differences of their accounts, the brokers and jobbers are actively employed in the above transactions. The Washington Papers state that dispatches have been received from Mr. Moore, American Minister at Columbia, stating that he has succeeded in procuring admission of the justice and validity of most of the American claims on the Columbian Government. Accounts from Savannah bring Information that the Hebrew Synagogue on the South Common has been destroyed by fire. The total receipt of the Government of the United States from 1789 to 1828, for customs, internal revenue, and direct taxes, was 70,945,491,333 dollars; the expenditure during the same period was less between six sad seven millions—the balance In the Treasury in January, 1828. Account. from Portn Rico of filth November, state that seven young men were executed there, condemned as pirates, It appears in the American Papers, received this morning. to the 17th December, . very long report from the Secretary of the Navy to the President—in which he states that the naval force of the United States which has been kept up during the present year, has been composed of the dill' squadrons employed in cruising on the stations heretofore assigned them; it also states, that the present confused and unsettled condition of the fiscal concerns of the Navy Department. ma►es it proper that the subject be brought to the notice of Congress. Quebec Papers to the sth December, Montreal to the 9th Dec. and New Orleans to the 95th Nov. have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house.—The Quebec Papers state, that the Legislature of New Brunswick has been called for dispatch of business, by the President. on Tuesday, 14th January. The hfontreal Papers say,* , We understand, that in consequence of the Hudson Bay Company refusing to pay any part of the fund belonging to the late North West Company, Mr. Ermatenger, as agent, Is going to England, and intends to procure those creditors' claims. It has been objected to us by a Correspondent, that we waste much of our political cartridge against men, which might be employed so much more advantageously against measures. We cannot plead guilty to the charge. When we first commenced our labours upon the STAR, which, it will be remembered, was converted all at once from extreme Toryism to popular and constitutional as sertions, we told the Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. PEEL—minims fidentes, certainly, but we told those Ministers—that we would bear with them for the love which we bear the country, and give them an un biassed trial. Suspending onr already justified preju dices—justified by their past political career—we agreed to an armistice, and took up our position only as a body of observation. Portugal, as regards our foreign affairs, and the persecution instituted against opinion at home, have been superabundant tests: and though many more proofs of their misgovern ment, quite as unequivocal in flagrancy, might be cited —if we chose to cite them—we will take our stand upon these. " The number of emigrants," says the Quebec Paper of the 3d December, " who have landed at this port during the summer, has been unusually great, and may be estimated at 17,000 to 18,000. There are upwards of 10,000 from Ireland, 3,500 from England, and 2,500 from Scotland." The New Orleans Papers state, by accounts from the Havannah of the Bth November, that an extraordinary duty has been put on flour, coming from Spain in foreign bottoms, of five dollars per barrel. Another fire has taken place In the ill-fated city of Augustine— the damages done is calculated at 20,000 dollars. HALF-PAST ONE. The Como! Market at present appears to be rather feverish; Consols which were in the early part of the morning at 94i for the account, have since been done at 94. and are at present at the above price, for money:93i. It appears that a great quantity :of stock is in the market, and money is in great demand in the House at present. There is very little doing in the New French Scrip. It may be quoted at 1 per cent. premium. The Foreign market is inactive, with little doing, and most of the prices are the same u yesterday. LIURPOOL, J•N. 19.—Our Cotton market yesterday was very dull; to-day, in consequence of the accounts from New Orleans, Mobile, Charlestown, Savannah, &e. of the very few vessels load ing for Europe, it has again resumed the confidence of the latter end of last week. The sale to-day amount to 1,000 bags. Is our Correspondent—whom we know to be a man of right feeling and enlightened mind—prepared to argue that any good can come from individuals, who have carried duplicity and a disregard of the national honour into our foreign transactions, and the spirit of oppression into their domestic government ? Did not the Noble Dux E, ten years ago—in precisely the same spirit, as that in which he governs now—avow his uncompromising hos tility to public liberty, and deride county meetings as a farce ? The declamation—purely derisory then—is be come a reflection of terrible import now. At that time, the overpowering blaze of a planet which has since set in blood, rendered imperceptible the specks of minor malig nancy which circled round it, of which the Noble Dul a was one : but that star of tyranny is now extinguished, and the speck beside it is grown up into a blazing star. It is a fallacy of the most dangerous kind, to dissuade from the personal resistance of such a man • since it is clear that, while such a man remains at the helm, that system alone in which he delights— those measures only, which are consentaneous with his principles—will be the rule of Government. Nothing is to be hoped from the Duke of %Vaud NOTON : all is to be apprehended. The Dublin Register of Tuesday, received this day, contains a' letter of upwards of three mortal columns, closely printed, from the Lord MOUNTCASHZL to the Bishop of F ERN s, and also a letter from Mr. O'Cox x ELL, in which he expresses himself not disposed to ap proach nearer the poor laws for Ireland than a heavy tax upon absentees. At the Conrt of Aldermen held on Tuesday a case was decided which has for some time past occasioned much discussion among the licensed victuallers of the metropolis. It was an appeal by Messrs. limes, Walters, Westbrook, and Davis, licensed victuallers of the Ward of Cheap, against being compelled to act as constables, having been chosen on St. Thomas's Day, or pay the fine. By Act of Parliament, any licensed victualler serving as constable absolutely loses his license. The licensed victuallers referrred to gave notice of appeal on being chosen, and on Tuesday the case was heard in the Court of Aldermen, at which Mr. Alderman Wood presided for the Lord Mayor. The appellants alluded to several portions of .the Acts of Parliament regulating licensed victuallers, to prove that they were not liable to be called upon to serve as constables. By the 3d of Gee. IV. it is enacted that licensed victuallers shall be disqualified to serve as constables, and that, if any licensed victualler did take upon himself the office, he should lose his license. The appellants submitted they were not bound to find a deputy or act themselves. The Court, after some deliberation, decided that the appellants were excused from serving the,ffice of constable, and thus set the ques tion at rest. These remarks are not made in individual ill-will, but they are wrung from us by the injuriousness of the imputation. Our Correspondent wya--it is not men about whom we are solicitous, but measures ; let us look to these. Granted : but if that man—who is opposed by interest, and in spirit, more than all other men, to the measures which we feel can alone be salvatory— be not removed from the direction of things, in what way can we show our solicitude with regard to " mea sures," which shall not involve our denunciation of de only obstacle to their adoption? Is it not evid•lnt, that the most efficacious method of compassing the d♦- sired measures, is by compassing fuit the removal. 6f their special impediment? The Noble Dunn is the A curious appearance presented itself early yesterday (Wednesday) morning on the southern side of the River Thames by the great quantity of snow which had fallen, which so completely covered the boats that were aground as to leave no visible trace of them whatever, exhibiting to the eye one beautiful sheet of downy sur face. When the watermen went to look after their boats, the first Impression was that they had been stolen ; but upon second reflection they were inclined to believe that they lay buried beneath a thick covering of snow. A gals soon arose, which convinced them that the last con , elusion was the most accurate, as the flaky element was then lifted from its bed, and carried in showers in differ ent directions, leavinetheir mall vessels once again in the possession of their rightful owners. . . . come, hitherto, of thou eon-odoptios: noised cased FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The Duke In LAVAL MONTMORENCY, the French Ambassador, and the Russian Ambassador, were occu pied for a considerable time with the Earl of A BEnnEEN yesterday, at the Foreign Office. The Austrian Ambassador visited the Earl of ABER DEEN yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of Stat.. for Foreign Affairs. The Earl of ROSSLYN entertained the Cabinet Minis ters to dinner yesterday evening, at his residence in St. James's-square. This was the first Cabinet dinner given by his Lordship to his colleagues since his accession to the Ministry, and the second Cabinet dinner this season. Nearly the whole of the Ministers of the Cabinet were present. The Earl of ABERDEEN visited the CHANCELLOR of the Ex cii EQUER yesterday, at the Treasury. The Earl of RossLvN and Mr. Secretary PEEL had interviews yesterday with the Duke of W LLIN °vow. Mr. PEEL, it is said, has undertaken to bring in a Bill to regulate, and, of course, to do away with, many of the enormous, not to say unjust and iniquitous, fees now de manded by Clerks of the Peace. By the death of Lord REDESDALL, his pension of £4,000 a year, as a retired Lord Chancellor of Ireland, falls into the Civil List. During the incumbency of Bishop NORTH he and his family held preferment amounting to more than 40,0001. per annum in the diocese of Winchester, more than half of which is in the hands of his family at present. Alluding to the union, or rather dis-union, which at present exists between Holland and Belgium, a modern writer observes, that he believes that Holland would be stronger if she stood alone, for that no nation was ever yet made more powerful by the addition of some millions of discontented citizens. Those virtuous and consistent people, the Whig Phil hellenists, do not seem to have considered it at all essen tial to their ideas of freedom that the Greeks themselves should have any voice in the appointment of their future Sovereign—Morning Herald. A deputation of merchants from the City attended yesterday at the office of the Board of Trade and had an interview with Mr. LACK, the Chief Clerk, in the absence of Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD. It was decided, in the case of HANDS V. Hessov, in the King's Bench, the other day, that general medical practitioners, that is, apothecaries, are entitled to charge for attendance upon patients. This decision was given under the direction of Lord TEN T E DEN. It relieves this class of medical men from the necessity of procuring a remuneration for their time and attendance through the medium of enormous charges for unnecessary drugs. The extensive premises lately occupied by the old Post-office in Lombard-street, which consists of a multi plicity of tenures, will, we hear, shortly be brought to sale.

Yesterday the despatches for Bengal and China, by the ship Macqueen, Captain ROBERT LINDSAY, were dosed at the East India House, and delivered to the purser of that ship. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain CHARLES SHELDON Ti mms, of the ship Reliance, took leave of the Court, previous to departing for Bengal and China.

For the last three or four days a gentleman of military appearance has every afternoon sported in Hyde Park a dark green-bodied cabriolet, without wheels, in lieu of which it is fitted up as a sleigh. The whole of the drive, from the quantity of snow that has lately fallen, forms a perfect sheet of ice. The sleigh is drawn with great ra pidity by a fine spirited grey horse, and to the harne, , en attached a variety of small bells, which, from their tinkling noise, and the novelty of sleigh-riding in this eountry, attract no small portion of the attention of the bequenters of this fashionable place of exercise. Yesterday, the Marshall& Estate, at Romford, Essex, illormerly the residence and property of Row LAND STE priorsow, Esq. was put up at the Auction Mart. The thither, which was to be taken at a valuation, is considered worth £1,200. The property was bought in for £14, 120 . Twelve cottages, in Collier-row, adjoining Marshall's, produced £1,610.
