FLANDERS MAIL. IRUN, DECEMBER 23. A little pamphlet, of only one sheet, is privately circulated at Madrid, the title of which is, A Dia- ' logue between the Shade of Don Quixotic, a Liberal, and - a Servile." This pamphlet, which is full of originality and wit, is a bitter satire on the different operations of the Government. The conspiracy of the pretended orders to march the Militia—to arrest and send into banishment some grave Ecclesiastics— to reniove Civil and Military Officers, have furnished the author with a multitude of pleasantries, some of v hich are very ptignant. All the endeavours of the Police to discover tie distributors of this satire have been hitherto unavailing. News received by merchants at Cadiz, from Vera Cruz, mention, that a large convoy coming from Mexico, with several millions of piastres, destined for the mother.country, had arrived in that city, where it waited for a safe conveyance to Spain.— Happily the convoy has a numerous escort, for the road from Mexico to Vera Cruz is not free from dan ger, and is often interrupted by bands of Guerillas. The eternal Father Torres has again appeared in the field with siz or 7,000 men. This indefatigable par tisan retires into the mountains as soon as he is pur sued by the Royal troops ; re-appears in the plain when the danger is past ; imposes contributions on the villages and the inhabitants who are known to entertain opinions contrary to his own, and retires with his booty without a possibility of overtaking Lim. At the beginning of October he had a success ful action with the dragoons of Mexico, whom he repulsed with loss ; but other troops coming up, Father Torres disappeared with his band. He was formerly a Priest, and much esteemed in his diocese. WARSAW, DECEMBER 17. His Majesty the Emperor, our King, has issued an Ordonnance fur the renewal of the third of the Mem bers of the Diet, according to the Constitution; and the Viceroy is charged to convoke the Central Assem blies for that purpose.., • THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1820. THE FUNDS. PRIOR OF STOOKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK: 3 per Cent. Reduced 68i 3 per Cent. Consols 671 ex. div. 4 per Cont. 86; 5 per Cent. Navy 102;11 or. div.

Coasols for Acct. 691 The quantity of Stock sold on Saturday, by the most respectable Brokers, exceeded any day's sale since the opening of the present Account. When Consols were at 696► those persons who had been purchasing immense sums at 68, began to realize, which threw a damp upon the Market, and they closed at 6)f,. This morning they opened at 69i, and the Market looks very heavy. The opinion of the monied men is, that the present rise will be but temporary, and that a depression will ensile before settling day. Between two and three hundred thou sand of the October-dated Exchequer Bills were thrown upon the Market on Saturday, which added to the depression of the Funds; one Broker sold 130,000 of them. Many view the Message of the American PRESI DENT as petfectly pacific, and, consequently, as au guring well to the prospects of the mercantile world. One pat t of the Address has, however, excited not only surpt ize, but apprehension r in the minds of some who look beyond the present moment. The PRESI DENT, speaking of the Treaty fur the cession of the Floridas, and which FERDINAND has refused to ratify, states, that the Governments of Great Britain and France were " decidedly in favour of the Ratifica tion:' This appears to be almost inexplicable, for, as we noticed on Friday, the possession of South Florida by the United States, would give them the entire cominal of the navigation of the Gulf of Mexico, and endanger the commithication with some of our most valuable West India Islands. Nor is it easy to imagine that this country should look with indifference to a transfer, threatening such conse quences, without obtaining the means cf counteract ing them. The claim of the United States is set up in the name of payment or remuneration, due to her citi zens for the spoliations made on her commerce during the war. If this gives them a right to ob tain from Spain the Northern shores of the Gulf stream, Britain has a greater claim against Spain, to entitle her to demand the Southern shore, namely, Cuba. It is well known that daring the six years of the Pepinsular war, Great Di itain supplied Spain with four and a half milikns sterling, in money and articles of war, besides the presence of large army and navy. Lit fitting then that this country should make no effort—we do nut say, to prevent the United States ft om obtainirg Florida, but to obtain for ourselves the means of warding off the dangers to which this cession must expoe our Western posses- sions ? Is it a matter of no moment, a hen every man, of the slightest discernment, is looking forwat d to the complete emancipation of South America, that we should possess the me ans of enjoying and protecting an uninterrupted commercial ;mere( urse with every part of that expanding market for European Manufactures? It should certainly be the policy of this country to guard, with-a jealous eye, every arrangement of other Powers which may eventually endanger our cmn safety, or tend to shut out oor commerce from any quart er. We ate not of those who, to snit a tem porary purpose, can ever join in the cry of 46 Perish cur commerce F' None but fcols will view either our Commerce or our Apiculture as objects to be viewed with indifference. We possess no other means by which to make foreign nations contribute to the payment of Olt• inter est of a load of debt contracted • principally on their account. The industry of Great Britain can only be duly estimated by what she has already done ; but what will her industry avail, if means are not employed to open, and keep open, the markets of the world for the products of her indus try ? Were our debt a trifle, which the exertions of a very few years could cancel, men might view, with indifference, all the arrangements of other States; but we are otherwise circumstanced, and our policy ought to be extensively prospective. Wc have, oftener than once, expressed our opinion that a great effort ought to be made to pay off our entire Debt, as the only effectual means of restoring perfect health and vigour to our Agriculture and Commerce; and also our perfect conviction that this important measure might be effected to the real benefit of every class in the community; but we are not sanguine in our expectations that this will be realized ; and it is, therefore, our duty not to pass, without observation any measure which in its conse quences must affect the prosperity of the country. We have received some further American Papers, but not of a later date than those which we last an nounced. The following are extracts: SACKETS HARBOUR, NOVEMBER 16. By the military movements in Canada, we should infer, that the time is not far distant when they co* template another war with this country. Their forces have been greatly augmented this season. Their vessels at—lingstoa-are kept in such order, that they can be rigged and ready for sea at a week's notice. Their armies are busily engaged in erecting powerful and permanent fortifications. Kingston, at this time, is strongly fortified at every point; while at Sacket's Harbour, an important military post, there are mil lions of public property going to decay, and not a single work of defence. BALTIMORE, NOVEMBER 30. Arrived on Friday evening last, an armed schooner, full of men, said to belong to Brion's squadron.— Whether " in distress," wanting repairs, or for what cause she visits us, we know not—as yet having seen no report of her arrival. • We must conclude, materials and price of labour are more moderate here than in other ports, as we appear to have the preference given us by all the " Patriot defenders"--and their arrival and depar ture has become so common, that a public report is not considered necessary. DECEMBER 3.—The armed Patriot brig Puerry don, arrived at this port on Thursday night, after a successful cruize (as we are told), having boarded ninety-seven vessels of various descriptions, only three of which she manned. The Puerrydon is last from Margaretta, performing the passage in eighteen days. In an engagement with the Portuguese ship Augusta, eleven of the crew of the privateer were killed and wounded, the Captain among the latter. The First Officer and boat's crew of the Puerrydon were detained at Margaretta. FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER OF NOV. 30. " The Editors have information on which they can rely, that the consequences of the rash invasion of the Spanish territory, by a - handful of men from the American lines, are proving to be such as might naturally have been expected. After the dispersion of these men, those settlers in . Texas, who had asso ciated with them, were left in a most pitiable condi tion. All the American settlers have been obliged to cross over to this side of the line, and leave be- i hind them the fruits of their industry, and the hopes' of their families. The Spaniards from St. Antonio, 1700 strong, with six pieces of cannon, were, about the Ist of this month, near Labadie. Their intention was to establish a post at Nacogdoches, and settle the Province. General Long had gone to Lafitte's, at Galvestown ; and it was considered unsafe for him to return by the route by which he went out.— With such materials as composed the Expedition, it was impossible any other result could have attended it. The soldiers were of the most worthless order— men unfit for any service, and even such as were dis charged, on account of their worthlessness, from the service of daily labourers at Baton Rouge and other posts !" COLUMBUS, (OHIO), NOVEMBER Is. THE SEASONE.—The past and the present have been very extraordinary ones—for six months the ground has not been thoroughly wet in this part of the country, notwithstanding our crops have been good. Fol several days past the atmosphete has been obscured, in consequence of the smoke arising from the immense fires on the Darby-plains, and elsewhere. It is supposed the fire originated t h rough the care lessness of bunters. (This fire sufficiently explains the phenomenon of the /Jack rain, of which the American Papers have recently had such wondering accounts ) A Bill has passed the. House of •Representatives of Georgia, repealing the law on Usury. It makes no alteration in the present established legal inte rest, and subjects the Usurer to a mere nominal pe na:ty, viz. the forfeiture of so much interest' as exceeds eight per cent. This law, therefore, had for its object the sanctioning of Usury, and the penalty threatened was evidently a mere cover to its real object. A Mail from Flanders arrived I;st night, from the Papers brought by which we have given some ex tracts in a preceding part of our Paper. We have also, this forenoon, received a supply of Frankfort Papers to the 3d instant. The only article of gene ral interest which we have met with in them is the following, on the subject of a Free Trade through Germany: ', BERLIN, DECEMBER 28. " It is stated, in some German Journals, that the Deputies of the Association of German Merchants and Manufacturers have received a favourable an swer from onr Government, in reply to the Petition in favour of the Commerce and Industry of Germany. —This statement is perfectly correct. They were well received, as well by his Highness the Prince Chancellor, as the Ministers of the Interior, of Com merce, and of Finance, and obtained the agreeable assurance, that the Prussian Government, far from desiring to injure the 'welfare of the neighbouring States of Germany, by selfish measures, would rejoice if the Governments of Germany would agree upon the principles of a general system of Commerce, pro moting the welfare of the whole ; and that the. Pru ssian Government would willingly contribute its part to procure for all Germany the advantages of a free trade, founded upon principles of justice. 4g At- the same time, it was not concealed from them, that the situation and the Constitution of the several German States seemed to be by no means prepared for the adoption of common measures, to which it was especially necessary that each indivi dual State should have the guarauteep that the joint ordinances should be observed by all in the sane spirit. It appeared, therefore, that at present, the best method would be, for each of the States that thought themselves aggrieved by the present system, to endeavour to make arrangements with t!;e•e Members of the Confederatioa who are consi..',l ad as the cause of this grievance, and is this ac..n ner to introduce coinciding Ordinances, by deg: - .-es, from frontier to frontier, and thus remove snore more the internal obstacles to a free track." Extract of a letter from Berwick, dated January 5: —" Four Colliers have been sent off this evening r..m Tweedmouth for Durham Jail, as leaders cf a cqm bination for raisins their wages. The whole of The Colliers in this district struck on Monday, and :he uneasiness it has occasioned at this inclement se.i.on is very great among many families who have not Ile means of laying in a stock of that useful ankle of life. A Bench of Magistrates has been sitting all this day at Tweedmouth, trying to recoil ile the differences between the masters and the men—but np to this hour nothing has been done—the men arc ob stinate. A meeting of Magistrates and the Select Vestry has been held this afternoon, in the Town- Hall here, to take into consideration the best mode of supplying the town, when it was agreed that a cargo from the nearest pert they can be got at, should be orkred forthwith. The men are eu i ;aged until Whitsunday, and can make a guinea a week." Yesterday, thePR iNce B EGEN T, with the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, attended Divine Service, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace. Friday evening, the Duke of YonK came to town, from attending the KING, at Windsor. Satur lay, his Royal Highness transacted military busint , ,s with the PRINCE Ii.EOEN I', at Carlton House. Yev.eithii, his Royal Highness left town for Woburn Abbe, on a visit to the Duke of BEDFORD. Saturday morning, the Duke of CLAKExcn left town, for Bushy Park. His Royal Highness returned to London in the evening. Saturday, Prince LEOIOLD left town for Claremont. Saturday, Viscount SIDNIOUTII had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton /louse. Yesterday, the LORD CHANCELLOR had an audience of the PRINCE RECENT. The Earl of GLASGOW is to be appointed Lnrd Lieutenant of Ayrshire : he resigns the office of Lord Lieutenant of the County of Renfrew, in fav'ur of Lord_I3LANTYRE, who is to be nominated his successor. The York Herald states, that the story which has been copied from The York Gazette, into most of the Parers of the country, about a coffin having been kft at Lord GRANTHAM . S door, is wholly a fabrication. An Oxford friend informs us, that a paragraph, which has been circulated through the Papers, stating that a hunted stag had been killed, list week, iA Mazennese College, is neither more nor less than a braze: faced lie'! DRERY-L AN E.—The Opera of Guy Mannering was admirably performed on Saturday. BnAHANs seemed to transcend even himself in his wonder-lid execution of the several airs allotted to his part. His Last Words .f Mormion, afforded at once a grand and impressive .display, altog;..!her unt,xun pled ; and Scots wha ha'e 7.1,1" Wil!ace bled, he was obliged to sing no less than three times. It USbELL performed the part of Dominie Sampson, fcr the first time, and acquitted himself with considerable ability ; and Miss CAREW, Miss POVEY, and Miss CUBITT, were as happy as usual it - their respective characters. The Pantomime appears to increase in public favour, and went off, on this occasion, with infinite eclat. COVENT-GARDEN.--The Marriage of Figaro was admirably performed at this Theatre. There was no alteration in the cast of the characters, and all the performers exerted themselves with the most happy effect. The Pantomime also went off with eclat.—His Excellency the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR, and suite, occupied the Regent's box, and seemed much amused. • THEATRE.—ROSSINI'S Comic Opera, 1.4 Cenerentola (Cinderella), which has been a great fa vourite on the Continent, was performed at this The atre, for the first time, on Saturday night. its Drama differs, materially from the one broui,vhi out, some years back, at Drury-Lane. Cinderella (Madame Bettocur), the step-daughter of bon Magnifico ( A maaonerri), suffers repeated injuries from his daugh ters, Clarinda and Thisbe (Signora Moat and Madame Garin), and is forced by them to submit to the most menial services. A Pilgrim (ltoazao), enters the Palace of Don Magnifico to ask charity; he is repulsed by the two proud sisters, but gets refresh ment from the cunpa•sionate hide: AIL The Prince of Sou lerno (Toaaa), having determined to seek for a wife among the beauties of his neighbourhood, announces his intention of visit ing Don Magnifico, who is delighted with the honour conferred upon him. The Prince, to form his judgment, comes in disraiw, and appears as the Squire of his own Valet, Dandini, (Ptacci), who is deputed to take his chara c t er . Th e preten ded Squire meets Cinderella in her menial dress, and is charmed with her. Dandini makes love to the Ladies, and they are invited to a Ball given by the Prince. Cinderella petitions to go, but is rem fused, and she contrives to appear there, to the surprise of Dca Magnifico and his daughters. The Ball breaks up, and on their return home Cinderella is found in her usual attire, aid excites astonishment at the similarity of the beauty that so lately mcved before theta; the Valet avows himself, to the shame of the Ba ron; the Prince also avows himself, and Makes Cinderella de partner of his throne. _ The music, which is composed by ROSSINI, is beau tiful, and highly dramatic. The opening Piece, the Quintetto ; a Song, by AMBROGETTI ; the Duet be tween Toant and Madame BELLOCHI, and the lines to the first, are finely conceived. Signor TORRI made his first appearance in this country. Ilis voice, a tenor, is flexible and sweet his acting easy, modest, and gentlemanlike ; he has a marked pleasing coun tenance, a good figure ) and his whole deportment is modest and prepossessing. He attempts nothing but what he executes with neatness and precision.--Am- BItOGITTI ) in Don Magnifico, was all life, bustle, and discriminition, ever attentive to the cunning of the scene, and never losing a point that could be seized upon to produce laughter. The Cherusses, were very perfect; and the Orchestra, led by SPAGNIOLETTIg deserves the highest encomium, for the delectable manner in which they executed this most eitEcult music. The scenery and decorations were highly appropriate ; and on the whole we can Safely predict this Opera will bawls a favourite,
