By advice: from Chile to the end of September. it appears that the Congress has sanctioned a decree. by which the house of Palates, Zea, and Co. which, under ' the name of aim*, had obtained the monopoly of certain articles. on the condition of remitting the funds to England los the payment of the dividends, is to be deprived of that privilege, and its affairs in connexion with it wound up under the superintendents of a com mission. Whether any ulterior measures are contem plated by the Government for the performance of that in which the Edam has been found wanting. does mot transpire; bat the -private letters certainly do not hold out any pcouragement to that effect. It is said that one of the Ministers is so sit ongly opposed to the break ingttp of the Edema), that he has threatened to reeffesl if the decree is carried into effect.

The repeated delays which have preceded its production serve.' to heighten the curiosity which its success on the Conti nent was calculated to excite, And a nuaselous audience was assembled. The characters were thus disposed of : Gismin (Agent oi a the Av2ei Estate) . Mr. G. Parson. . Mr. Prams. Gene /ream (a Linn. in the Bash& stinky). Mr ltladamellasvass. Af •Jae (the Sheriff) (an Orphan, brought up by the family. J. isaAlci. of Avenel) . . Ulm Allie (wife at the farmer) . . Miss CaOWws'. • ILL Moments (the old sent of the Avenel family) Mrs. Davastrost. The Opera commences with a chorus of peasants, who are ab ut to celebt ate the christening of M'Fhear's child -0 Hesse! basis! sound pipe and tabor; ' Sing, Highland lads, the song of joy ; Hail this glad day, dear to ear neighbour, He chsismos on this day his boy." . . . This chorus is exceedingly animated and sprightly. Just as the peasants are at a loss for a godfather, a young stranger arrives, who proves to be Georp Broom. rand he readily undertakes the duty. His air, 44 Ali 1 'what delight the Soldier knows." is pleasing and drawl tive. He sups with the farmer ; and the wonders woaked by the White Maid are related in a simple ballad by 'title. Brown, in conversation with 111 , Phear, informs him, that all he know: of his own history is, that be was placed at an early age on board a ship, where he gat the same of Brown, and that he made his ei,cape, got into the army. obtained a commission, and is in love with some Lady unknown. It further appears, that the heir of the House of Avenel islost, and that the mansion is to be sold on the following day by auction. when it is expected that Glossin will purchase it. This, it will be seen at once, is a staange jumble from (cis. Maanersieg. M'Phear then tells an absurd story, how he had once an interview with the White Maid. and raw ceived from her two thousand pounds. A letter sigaed by the White .l laid. is now delivered to M‘Phear, SW joining him to be at the Castle of Avenel, and beg far shelter, at twelve at night; Wrhear ii . oveteonal by alarm, and Broom undertakes to go in his stead, and so ends the first Act. The second commences in the Castle of Avenel. Louise sings a acena of no peculiar vigour. It I. followed by a • duet be. tween her and Giossin, skilfully haraionized. Browne now arrives, end is left to pass the night in a dark room by tloesin. A very ridiculous scene follows. Loam.' era the Gentleman in the dress az. Aiev.....-...... sepposing Al•Phear to be there. After the has promised obed nice, and the Lady less mystery in future, they shake hands and part: There is some ex• pressive and pleasing music in this scene. Next comes 'the finale—the auction scene—which has been so much talked about. The Sheriff, according to what wee r dent we know not, is the auctioneer. The main condi tion is, that the money shall be paid before a certain , hour, or the bidder “as a swindler at once will be treated. * The farmers have combined to outbid tolossie, and Whear bids for them. Glosshs has raised his biddings to such an amount, that they are about to give up their project, when Louise enters, is recognised , by Bravo as his incognita, and desires him to bid _y l el higher. He does so, and is t declared the purchaser., music of all this is remarkably ingenious. The saiet i ' cessive biddings, the disappoin tment of the faresers,l the rising uneasiness of tieim, and the joy of the auditory at the triumph of his opponent, are all elpressed with admirable variety and force. The, third act commences with a conversation between 'Louise and Margaret, from which it appears that there' is a tradition that a certain statue will never appeal 11 l ' again in the Castle, until the right heir of the house ofi lAvenel shall have returned. The ballad at the spinning larheel, which has obtained some celebrity, follows: it Idid not attract much admiration. The next scene is the hall where the statue is missing. Here Brows re ceives the homage of the peasant*, who sing a chorus to the air of 11 Robin Adair, which produced an extra ordinary effect in Paris. The hour of payment now comes, and Brans is on the point of being taken into custody by Giouirs and the officers, when the White Maid appears, occupies the vacant pedestal, and declat esßrown Ito be Julian, the heir of the House of Avenel. (Jessie. is despair, tears of the veil from the White Maid, and she proves to be Louise. Juliast makes have to her, mid is accepted, and so ends the drama. Madame Vestals sung with admirable skill and expression, and acted with much spirit. Miss CAME displayed taste sad a good style of negation ; considering, especially, bow short has been her experience on the stage; the effort was highly creditable to her abilities. Miss Gew alt) played and sang with dexterity and intelligence. Mr. Palmists should, above all things, endeavour to welt distinctly. Much of his dialogue was unintel. li g ible. The trautlation has been effected, with a view to the preservation ei the music, without regard fee the beauty of the versification. The announcement of the Opera for repethient was received with applause. Dispatibes have been received from Persia, dated Tabree, 0(0.5, announcing, that a division of the Persian Army, detached by his Highness the Prince Regent, mad* the eddimald otitis eldest son, Mahomed Meerza, and his undo, Anseerlhan, was defeated. ladds§ll Aead Ck-r. sl. _Admiral Brown sailed on the 4th ilet. in the Sarandi schooner, to join the two veliels of war from Chili, and said to be craisia and waiting for him between Cape St. Antonio Cape Corstentes.

Mr. Brown stated, that the debt la question bad been coeuramed Woe years ago. The Cattsannt.-1 am afraid rhea that the Statute of Lkaltadass will interfere with the power of the Court.

Mr. Brown produced two or duce boobs • but, upon looking into them, he discovered that the debt in ques tion had not been entered in any one of them. He was about therefore to apply for an adjournment, when Tie defendant stood forward, and said. that it was really of no use to postpone the case, as be had a de fence of the strongest legal character, the best defence in the world.

This day the insolvent was brought up for rehearine, and several witnesses were examined, particularly Mr. D. Ramsey and his wife, at whose house the Colonel and his i 'Ely had apartments, in Tunbtidge.suset, New-road. Si. Pancras. The viva vote testimony of those witnesses was esiMi siderably at variance with the written affidavits GOSS which the rule was obtained fir a rehearing. Charlotte Burford deposed, that she was formerly servant to Colonel Low, and was hired by this name. While in that capacity she gave evidence on oath in the name of Charlotte Juhnson; the reason she did' so was, toilsome she was afraid of having - her name appear in the newspapers.

The CRIES Commasiomaa, addressing Colonel Low, informed him, that as he had sworn to a schedule as tree. creditor ' which it was the intention of the opposing _ to contradict. therefore he need not answer questions put to his unless be thought proper. The Colonel replied, that he was anxious to be ex amined, and he was interrogated by the opposing Coup• sel (Mr. Cooke) st great length, relative to plate, watches, g..ld chain, jeeellery, medicine chests, and a great quan tify of valuable property which the duplicates veleta to. The Colonel said, that he had 'nut lived with M Loa; regularly for many years, but only paid occasional visits on account of the children. He was placed in a paiolui situation to answer to things of which be was en tirely ignorant. Mrs. Low wasin the habit of receiving presents from her family and friends. Among all the ar ticles specified he had no knOwledge of any, eseept the gold watch-chain and seals, which were presented to his sou in the year 1619, by General English, while be was on a foreign station. He woald Solemnly swear that be sever pledged, or knew of any article being pledged in his name up to the date of the latest duplicate.— With respect to the crooks referred to by the witnesses, some of them belonged to the late Major Carroll, who died of the yellow fever at Honduras. andlithers to Cap tain Stemma, who was drowned. He (Colonel Low) ►rought home the property by virtue of a power of at seamy, and it has bean delivered to the respective friends of the deceased officers. One of the swords alluded to was given to his son by General English, and the other - belonged to the late Major Carroll.

The Cosa: °believed, that the Learned Counsel had eitercised a 'sued discretion. The rule was then discharged. Major Samuel Birekaut, of the Ist Royal Veteran Retains, was opposed by Mr. rowels, as belt& of Mean. Monist! mid Co. Intuition. at Cambridge, and a Mr. Phillips. The petitioner (e fine-looking man) stated that h:bad been 47 years in the army, and received 95.6 d. a-day half-pay, for meritorious services in all parts of the world. He stn ed that he had' formerly a house in India, which was sold for 1,5100 rupees (about 10t1. sterling), and the proceeds went to the payment of some Indian debts. He was not able to sell his commission, unless he got placed ots full pay, of which be bad some ei pectation. When this was accomplished, be would pay his creditors every farthing. He much regretted that they would not give him time, which would have prevented his application to the Cart for relief. Mr. Pottoes applied to the c onwto set wart • porde& et the kissivent's half.pay towards the payment of his debts. Major Bitcham, in reply to the Court, siid, that be bad a niece dependent ta him for support, and had no o:her source of income beyond his half-pay, which netted about 1601. a year. The Comm said, the justice of the case would be met by 301. a year being set apart for the benefit of the tie ditots. Upon this understanding the discharge will be made out, but the first payment is not to take place until Lady Day next. . _ Captain BLact, Commander of the steam boat G eorge the Fourth, arrived at the Foreign Moe, in a ponshaisn at tat o'clock as Monday morning, bringing dimmed*, dbms wean' Lisboa from Mr Wirisan A'Courr, oar Minister at lithos.
