'l' E RIV IC H and Lord Cow LEY. "The dispute"—says our contemporary—"is either totally unknown, or pre served with marvellous caution in the best-informed cir cles at Vienna." At the same time, he admits that the thing is, no doubt, possible. In reply to this, we have to tell the Times that the dispute is well known in the political circles at . Vienna, and that it is even said to originate in more than one serious cause of difference. The first we will mention—and which it would not in the least astonish us to find well founded—is the project of . an eastern partition seriously entertained by Nt- C EIOLAB, in which project the rapacious Austrian has consented to . become acquiescent for his proper share of the spoil. Having witnessed, it is said, with mingled disgust and alarm, the pusillanimous forbearance of our Cabinet, while Russia was moving from conquest to con quest with gigantic stride, the Prince—perceiving clearly that he had nothing to hope from an alliance with the Noble Duke—cemented a cordiality with the northern autocrat, as more consentaneous with his views and in terests,and adopted a correspondent coolness with the am bassador from St. James's. Now, a project like this ac cords so exactly with the grasping and selfish policy of the Vienna school, that we are quite prepared to see it carried into effect. We have frequently reminded the Noble Duke that he had nothing to look for in so unnatural an ally for England, and so insincere, as Austria. If—as the Chronicle asserts—Lord COW LEY be already in town, his Grace is probably ere this in possession of new proofs to corroborate our assertions. Tliere is, however, another ground of difference, which —on the part of Austria—we know to be irreconcileable as it is wide : we mean, the perpetual arguments and solicitations by which Prince METTERNICH has been beset and badgered—according to instructions from the Court of England—to lead the van in the European recognition of Minuet.. We know that the Em peror FRANCIS is inflexible on this point, and that he has declared his fixed resolve never to ac knowledge the detested usurper of the throne of Donna MAMA. Whatever may be the uncertainty, in which the project of a new partition—with Austria co-operant—is involved, the existence of this latter cause of dispute between the two Cabinets is beyond, a question. Moreover, it is notorious, that METTER,: icn has said—with reference to the Noble Earl—he may do as he pleases, hut the Court of Austria will never recognise tlut tyrant. We think,also—notwith standing the tendencies of the Noble Foreign Secretary— that we may predicate the same of England. The fraud and cruelty with which he has endeavoured to put down constitutional forma in Portugal, by a pertinacious prose cution—as well overtly in various manners, as by diplo matic manoeuvre—of what Mr. GALLY KNIGHT terms the repressive system, will be frustrated by the spirit of the Portuguese themselves : frustrated, too, signally will these efforts be, by the nearly simultaneous downfal of the two most unpopular and unprincipled administrations, which at this moment hamper and coerce the general im pulse to Constitutions. The assertion that our Ambassador at Vienna is only come home upon family affairs, is a shallow device to blind those who do not look below the surface of things. With regard to the partition of Turkey—whether, it be yet arranged, as is stated, by these great powers, or procrastinated for what may be thought a riper moment --we have no doubt that it is the steady determination of NICHOLAS. Thus, are the first-fruits of the Noble Duke's Oriental policy developing themselves unequi vocally to the world. M. ETNA nn has addressed a letter to the Consti tutionnel relative to the refusal of the French Government to make any further pecuniary advance to the President of Greece. We have already offered our opinion on the conduct of M. CAPo D'ISTRIAS to the English creditors, and should nos• recommend his friend, M. EY?: AIM, to remind him that until he render justice there, it is not likely that any new loan can be negociated on the Con tinent. We are struck by one passage in the letter of M. EYNAILD, in which he alludes to'" the Prince who may be called on to reign over Greece." Coming frau a person who is so confiden tially connected with the President, this sentence implies very plainly that an intention is entertained, of convert ing the new State into a monarchy : it wostld also seem to indicate, that M. CAPO DISTILIAS has no very great objection to relinquish his Presidency. Although the rumours of internal dissensions in the French Cabinet have been formally contradicted by their own journals, all private letters from Paris agree in their confirmation. It is asserted positively, that a change before the meeting of the Chambers, is quite inevitable. We shall be greatly astonished, indeed, if CHARLES X. venture to open the Session, and face the representatives of the people with such a Ministry. A short time will decide the question. St Petersburgh Papers to the 21st October have been received this day. They publish numerous favours and promotions granted by his Imperial Majesty ; but they have not yet given the treaty of peace, or stated the ex change of the ratifications. A subjoined article from the Nuremlnirgh Correspondent, informs us that the new Austrian Loan is a very popular one—considerable time. bargains being making in it at 92 per cent. In other respects, our Continental arrivals to-day are witbobt interest : ST. PETERSBURGH, 0cr.19. Yesterday his Highness Prince Chostew Mina, Ambassador from Persia, had an audience of the Emperor and Empress, in which he took leave—being oo the point of returning to Persia.— The persons belonging to his suite had afterwards the hon Our of taking leave of the Emperor. _ _ Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Helen, and the Grand Duchess Maria, her daughter, arrived in the capital on Sa turday evening. The Emperor has been pleased to approve a de cision of the Committee of Ministers, given on the proposal of the Minister of Finance. by virtue of which the right of trading With foreign counuies, granted to the merchants of the 3d class of the Government of Orenburg, is given also to those of Western Si beria, in order to encourage and extend the commerce of that country.—St Peter:burgh Papers, 05t.21. FRANCFORT, Om 26. The new Austrian Loan. at 4 per cent. has already found many purchasers among our speculators. Considerable time bargains hue been in it at 911 per ant. —Nuremberg Cbrrespondenf, Os& 29. • COLOGNE, OCT. 30. On Tuesday the 27tb, at noon, the Amor, a ship belonging to Capt. Hartmann, of Brugen,bound to Mayence, which had taken on board In our pert a cargo of 4,000 cwt. of cologneal goods and dried fish, sunk about two leagues above Cologne. Assistance was sent from this city u soon as possible, and yesterday morning the ship, which bad been got afloat, arrived Isere with two others that had been sent to take on board the few goods that were saved in a damaged state. The cargo was insured hen for about 12,000 dollars, but the greater part of the carp, including a great deal of Sugar, was not insured. The cause of the accident is not known. HAGUE, Nor. S.

Twel.vx o'CLoca. Consols, which left off yesterday on Change at 919 strong buyers for the Account, are not quite so good this morning. They opened at 911 / for Money, and 911 I for the Account, with little busi ness doing as yet. In the Foreign Market, Danish and Brazilian Bonds are the only stock doing in at present ; the prices are much the same as yesterday's. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. The Funds which were very buoyant yesterday, have a differen t tendency at present ; various descriptions of British Money Stocks have come to Market in ithe course of the morning, the Public either selling for want of money or by choice, realizing at the high prices. Consols may be quoted at 91i for Money, and 91i Sellers, for the Account 91i fOr January. The Dutch steamer, which has arrived, brings letters of Tuesday, which state that the Exchange comes higher also; the Dutch Funds have improved. The Exchange from Lisbon comes-45. In the Foreign Market the only business doing is In Brazil Bonds, which are lower. Mexican Stock has rather improved, and is much the Same as yesterday. The Lisbon Gazettes, from 19th to 24th Oct. (both inclusive) are received this day ; but, of course, contain no particular news. No mention is made of the Pope's nuncio having delivered his credentials. Among the ship news is the arrival of the Don John VI. on the 21st. The Lisbon Mail was brought by H.M. cutter Bram ble ; sailed the 25th Oct. Private Letters state that it was fully expected that Don Miguel would soon be ac knowledged lawful King of Portugal by all the Euro pean Powers ; and the general opinion was, that the differences between him and his brother, the Emperor of Brazil, were in a favourable train of settlement. Every thing was quiet at Lisbon. The 32 suspected persons arrested in Algares had arrived in the above capital, and were confined in the different prisons—amongst whom was the ex-Governor of Taro. The accounts from Constantinople are to the Bth Oct. and appear to be favourable. Great tranquillity pre vailed in the Capital ; and the Government were using their utmost exertions to fulfil their engagements with Russia, in regard to the indemnifications of the peace. Firmans, free of expence, were granted to the flags of all nations for the passage of the Bosphorus. On the 7th Oct. two Russian officers arrived in the Capital from St. Petersburgh. Vice-Admiral Malcolm is also stated to have arrived there ; but for what purpose it was not known. Accounts from Tangier states that the Pasha Mohamet Omimon died at Fez. His funeral was most magnificent, and attended by the Emperor and his whole Court. Bou Loci xz, OCT. 31.—A considerable quantity of foreign Wheat has been imported this year into our port,' which has prevented a rise in that article taking place in our environs. Ten more ships have arrived with about 20,000 hecto. in the month of October. The Mexican packet still remains due. It is anxiously looked for. From the Calcutta Price Current of the 4th Jane: Indigo, with the exception of two or three small parcels, the crop of 1828-29, is now entirely disposed of. The exports during the past season come up to within a trifle of the export.

The sailor Francisco is also delivered to the Consul, to be sent home immediately. At the Corn Exchange this morning there were several buyers : still little purchases were effected, owing to the expectation that a reduction in the prices would have taken place. The price must be nominally quoted as on Monday. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. &s--Althongh you have replied to the extraordinary doctrines pot forth by the Times relative to the State necessity of recognising Don Misuar., in a manner which leaves little to desire on the part of those who are suffering from the usurpation, yet the subject is so important, and involves such vital interests, that I trust you will permit me to offer a few remarks to the public through the medium of your columns. According to the 110d00s of your contemporary, the recognition of the Usurper is an event which the exigencies of the State and e commerce may absolutely demand." This part of the article, to which you have already twice replied, seems to be the least offensive pretext which the secret partisans of Miguel have lately found to secure to him the fruits of his rapacious and sanguinary sway. But there never was a pretext more futile or unjust. Upon what principle, it may be asked, can there be a necessity of enter ing into a " commercial intercourse" with a moaner who has trampled on every thing which is held sacred, and who by his whole conduct has compromised the stability orthrones and the peace of nations? Where is the necessity for the legitimate monarchs of Europe entering into diplomatic relations with s person who has acquired his power through treason and blood? That which the interest of Europe calls fur, justice demands, and mind policy dic tates, is that the tyrant should be hurled from the throne he has robbed, and restore it to the lawful owner. The recognition deemed so necessary by the Times, would be a flagrant violation of justice, and strike at the root of that legitimacy which forms the founda tion of the kingly power throughout civilised States. But sup posing that in the long struggle between usurpation and legitimate rule, the private interests of a powerful nation suffer, what pro. vents that Power from at once removing the evil, by putting in force the inviolability of those principles which it has so often proclaimed to the world, and that are so essential to the repose of Europe? Have not all the great powers carried on a war of thirty years to re establish the principle of legitimacy, and did they not declare at its conclusion, that no institutions were legal, except those granted or approved by the lawful Sovereign ? How, therefore, can any writer who professes to respect the rights of others, advance doc trines so diametrically opposed to these rights? It is a fact too well known to require illustration, that the usurper of Portugal has violated the principle so often and loudly proclaimed, and placed in jeopardy the commercial interests of all those powers which have been in alliance with our country. It is thus against him rather than is his behalf, that the Times ought to invoke the influence of the European Cabinets :—more especially if those Cabinets have ac. knowledged Donna Mama as the lawful Sovereign. Is the usurper such a person that his overthrow would cause any great sacrifices to Europe? The answer is soon given, and by no means doubtful! The pretext of " commercial Intermit" Is not less absurd than all the other reasons advanced by the Theses. It Is notorious that the usurper has annihilated trade by driving bar dreds of the most wealthy families, both natives and foreigners,into exile, persons who were indifferent to political changes, but whose large capitals have been thus taken from circulation and will never return while the usurper remains. On the other hand, has not all confidence been destroyed, while the finest portion of the whole country is under sequestration. Where, as in a recent instance, the despot did not scruple to seize the funds of all the charitable foun dations in Lisbon and other places, is it likely that any person wishing to preserve his property would run the risk of exposing it to such a lawless plunderer ? The fact 6, that were lilsovec to be recognized to-morrow, the commerce of England with Portugal would be left in the same unprofitable and precarious state in which it has continued ever since the usurpation. If the 2'fisses believes that British commerce has sustained great losses by the blockades of the usurper, its complaints ought to be directed against those Ministers, who, after having declared him as such, not only acknowledged those blockades, but even blockaded in his behalf a portion of the lawful Sovereign's dominions, as in the case of Ter ceira. I shall conclude these cursory remarks by observing, that the recognition of Don Mutest by England. would be a foul stain on its character, an incalculable source of injury to its commerce, while it furniihed a precedent which might ultimately be fatal to every crowned bead in Europe. London, Nov. 5. A PORTUGUESE EXILE. THE SPINNING JENNY. TO THE EDIT - OltOF THE STAR. St a—An article in your Journal of last evening, headed " Origin of the Spinning Jenny," brings to my memory, although partially (being now 35 years ago) a conversation with my old friend, Mr. DE.tcox, then living at Crayford, near Dartford, Kent, speaking of Mr. ARKW RIG lIT, who had attended Mr. DEACON in the capacity of a tonsor at Preston for some years, he said," Whatever merit was due to Mr. ARK W RIGHT for perseverance in industry, or even ingenuity, he did not deserve the merit of that invention, which was altogether the invention of a man, whose name he men tioned, and who was by trade a carpenter, or wheel and millwright, who was a very drunken illiterate man, but a very superior mechanical genius. This man, in one of his drunken fits, left the model (which he had shown to Mr. DEACON, and on the merits of which Mr. ARK w niallT afterwards consulted him, Mr. DEA cow) in pledge for a few shillings with Mr. AUK WRIGHT, with whom he was on terms of intimacy, and was never afterwards heard of. How long it remained in Mr. ARK WRIGHT'S possession before his calculating mind set it in motion, I know not, nor the particulars of its intro duction: if told, I have forgotten, but the authority of so respectable a Gentleman from his own knowledge is to me a refutation of its originating with Sir RICHARD. Yours, &c. A CONSTANT READER. Camberwell, Thursday evening. We think our Correspondent's letter very inte resting ; but inasmuch as lie is anonymous, and the name of the poor mechanic does not appear in his statement, neither are we referred to the present residence of Mr. DEACON, nor even told if he be yet living, we admit it as a curious assertion, not destitute of probability, ,but utterly unsupported by proof. Sir RICHARD ARK WRIGHT must not be thus lightly despoiled, now that he is no longer here to answer for himself: at the same time, if the fame of this useful invention has been un justly usurped by him, and the evidence to establish this fact is in our Correspondent's power, we trust he will not hesitate to come forward, at least with his own name, and afford such collateral facilities, as he may be able to command, for the interesting ascertainment. —En. STAR. LANOENBURG, OCT. 25.—Her Serene Highness Princess ANNA FEODOREWNA AUGUSTA CHARLOTTE WILHELMINA of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, (a Princess of Leiningen and daughter of the Duchess of KENT,) was this morning safely delivered of a Prince, who has been baptized by the name of CHARLES LEWIS WIL LIAM LEOPOLD. The beautiful edifice lately erected by Messrs. Hoare, bankers, in Fleet-street, now nearly completed will cost little short of £60,000. The house is completely iso lated, its neighbours standing Nearly a foot from .its walls, which gives it a rather strange appearance. Its roof and rafters are iron, the front and sides of Portland stone. The prudence of this respectable firm established an accumulating building fund, which has been forty years increasing, and last Christmas amounted to more than the sum expended on the building. When St. Dunstan's church is taken down, this part of the greatest thoroughfare of London will be materially widened and improved. DRURY LANE THEATRE. VENICE PRESERVED. We were present last evening at Drury Lane Theatre, at the performance of Venice Preserved, and were highly gratified to witness a Tragedy, in which an adequate distribution of talent gave full and impressive effect to bold and tender varieties. As we are free from all theatrical partialities, yet sensibly alive to the interests of the drama, we gladly embrace an occasion of com mending that liberal and judicious system of diffusing throughout its exhibition the ample powers of a com pany ; the only system by which a management can hope to attach popularity to its undertaking; and, one, which if steadily pursued must super sede all the inducements of favour or affection; and command, by its intrinsic merit, what it last night ensured, a crowded audience full of animated and expres sive satisfaction. Nothing can more effectually destroy the illusion of this scene than the unnatural and intole rable habit, of late years too grossly obtruded on the public, of confiding the total interest of plays to a soli tary instance of isolated talent, and of withholding front it the support and indispensable co-operation of kindred ability. We are indeed averse from the exhi bition of all prodigies, in which so much is sacrificed to augment the marvellous, and to lessen the dimensions of the natural objects around it. A due distribution of ability, graduated by just and professional rules, is all that w e require to give effect to the excellent productions of ow Drama ; and of this the exhibition at Drury-L ane , w h ere Comedies are incomparably sustained, hasbeen gi ven i n liberal succession; and the performance of last night. supplies sufficient evidence. The Pierre of Mr. YouHc was marked with all its well-known excellence. The Jaffier of Mr. IVA LLacs; was a masterly display of the alternation of the wild and the pathetic passions. The Belvidera of Miss PHIL LIPS was a highly chaste and elegant performance, though somewhat diminished in effect by occa sional precipitation, and an apparent diffidence of employing, to their full extent, the very splendid powers which she abundantly professes and manifests with so much judgment, modesty, and taste. We imagine it would be a kind of critical misprision, in ad verting to Miss PHILLIPS'S personation of the lovely Belvidera, to be silent on her beauty, which so es sentially upholds the probabilities of her potent in fluence and distressful implications; but, admitting the full effect of such impressions, (and we know they are very generally felt) it becomes a secondary ob ject when associated with the accomplished tenderness, the calm and touching sorrow, which she poured I with such exuberant profusion into all the food extremes of her pathetic infelicity. Especial praise is due to Miss PICILI.Ies for the exquisite discretion she evinces in the scene of her distraction ; a more af fecting exhibition of the passion we have not beheld; it is fearfully infected with insane emotion, and yet entirely free from the extravagance, by which it is so frequently converted into maudlin and unnatural absurdity. The tragedy was announced for repetition with clamo rous approbation ; and we must say—though the applause of managers is at present an uncanonical act of justice, that if Mr. PRICE continues to afford such exhibitions at his Theatre, he will find his judgment and liberality very indisputably attested and rewarded at the same time, by an unerring criterion—the abundant returns of the Theatrical treasury. The Don John ship-of-the-line, which arrived at Lis bon from Terceira, brought in two English ships as prizes ! A vessel is preparing at Lisbon for Angola, to take on board a number of Constitutionalists, transported to that Island. This day, as usual on the first day of Michaelmas Term, the Judges breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor, and proceeded to open the Courts at Westminster, ac cerding to customary form. Accounts from Paris state that General Saldanl a arrived on the 27th October at Hede, the depot of the Portuguese refugees. He was met on the road by several of the Officers, who received him with every mark of distinction. Policies have for some time been opened at Lloyd's of £2O to return £lOO, in the event of Consols touching 92 before the termination of the present Account, and there is now some prospect of their being decided in favour of those who gave the premium. It may be expected that a powerful effort will be made to prevent the advance of per cent. further in consols, which will decide these policies. The accounts from Barnsley this day are very unfa vourable. Workmen, who are willing to take work at reduced prices, are intimidated front doing so by the threats of the turn outs, who have not only destroyed some of the workmens furniture, but have actually fired into the houses of those who are obnoxious to them. We understand that East India Sugars were selling at the last India House sale at the reduced price of 20s. to 20s. 6d. ST. PETERS BU RGU, OCT. 15.—Within three days up wards of 1,500 casks of tallow have been sold ; the first qua lity fetched 98 to 99 roubles ; the second ditto, 95 to 96. The exportation of tallow to this day amounts to 144,000 casks. Flax and hemp are both flat. The first quality of Cazan potash brought yesterday 84 roubles, and 86 are now demanded for thesmall stock remaining on band. The exportation of potash amounts to 14,700 casks. Linseed oil fetches six roubles 80 copecks per pud. Wheat and rye are rather flat; 4,000 tachetwerts of Kuban wheat have been sold at 19 roubles. Linseed is sought after; 22 roubles have been offered for good qualities; but, as last year's stock is insignificant, the holders keep aloof, and lie by for a further improvement. NEWARK POLITENESS.OR Friday last, as some gentlemen, who had been dining together at Newark, were returning home, one of them, either by accident or • from being heavier in the head than in the heels, fell, and rolled in the kennel. He called to a friend for as— sistance to raise him up; his friend came, but all his attempts were useless, when he exclaimed, " D —me, I can't get you out; but I'll not leave you ; so I'll do the next best thing—l'll lie down by the side of you which he actually did. FEMALE COU RAG E.—A few days since, the widow of the late John Gibbs, gamekeeper to P. Methuen, Esq. of Corsham House, secured a man while in the act of poach ing ! This makes the third poacher which this heroine has taken. One of the most recent on dits of the French capital is, that the Ministry is to have a liberal infusion in the persons of Count de la Ferronays and M. Roy, who are to replace De Bourmont and La Bourdonnaye. We know not what truth there is for this report, but we now submit a query to the French Liberals, which, eager as they have been to discover topics of outcry against one of these Ministers, may, notwithstanding, open a new geld for declamation :---Did M. De Bourmont, or did he not, from time to time furnish the Duke of Wellington, at the lines of Torres Vedras, with information respecting the movements of the French army, which proved exceed ingly useful to his Grace ?—Brighton Gazette. ~:.
