ago • Has there been any indication of a revolu-1 tionar y movement in France? On the contrary, we are told that one month of war has done more for the principles of legitimacy in France than nine years of peace, and that the simple fact of Louis XVIII. being en abled to assemble 100,000 loyal soldiers, was a cer tain proof of the stability of his Throne. If we look to Spain, we shall see that she has given no provocations to any Power. She waited until she was attacked; and, though she defends herself in the best wa y she is able, yet certainly her exertions are not such asto threaten any danger to either !lustt is or Russia. The doubtful tenure by which Austria holds Italy, n ay be considered as a sufficient reason for a few of her troops remaining stationed on the Po ; and as Russia is not bound by any treaty to disband her ar my, it k of little consequence whether she encamps it on the banks of the Vistula or the Euxine. The following is the must recent intelligence we have from Paris. On account of the Feast of Ascen sion, Thursday was a close holiday at Paris. PAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING, Fova o'Ccocr. The Journal de Toulouse, a semi-ministerial Paper, vhich has just reached Paris, contains the following : We heat from Bayonne, that the Generals Abis gal and Morino are on the point of re-uniting their forces, which are supposed to amount to 40,000 tier, and offering battle to Marshal Oudinot, whilst Ballasteins will occupy General Molitor. A considerible materiel is preparing for tie siege of St. Sebastian's, which fortress refuses to listen to anything like capitulation ; and in order to cut off all means of retreat from the garrison, all the vessels i n the port have been sent away. It is added, that the Governor has remained inaccessible to seductions of more than one kind. 'l i re Military Intendant of S:. Sebastian's was shot on the 13th of the last month, for having had communications with the French." The same Journal gives the following news from Catalonia: " General Donnadicu was at Puycerda on the 25th. On the morning of the 26th, 800 men from Roma psa were sent to occupy Miter. Another column is to march this evening by Belver on their way to La Seu. The garrison of the place has been renewed. It is not Orrea who has arrived there, but another Chid, whose name has not reached us. Some im portant events must soon take place, and the fate of Catalonia cannot much longer remain undecided.— The stripping of the churches and the arrests con rnue ; nothing is left untried by the Constitutionalists 1) procure themselves money. We are assured that Mina is still at Vich, or in the environs. The reason that Marshal Moncey has not ad vanced as far as he might during the eleven days he has been in. Catalonia is, that he is desirous of taking Figueras before going further. General Curial, at the head of eight thousand men, intends attacking the Constitutional troops, whose numbers are every dap increasing by the arrival of various Guerilla par ties. It is most likely that before many days we shall have to communicate an account of some se: ious affair, unless Mina should retire upon Barcelona." The Echo du Midi (a fanatical paper) has the fol lowing, under the same date : " The militia, who occupied Campredon, have re tired upon Olut, whereare assembled the Constitu tional troops under Mina. Two hundred men, coming from Berga, entered Ripoil the 24th, and had orders to be in readiness to march the nest morning towards Olot. It is also towards this point that have been di rected the garrisons of Cordova, Segovia, Marrezza, Vich, &c. These movements seem to announce the intention of giving battle. A report is in circulation this morning, that the Commandant of Figueras has been killed by the troops under his command. Con tradictory motives are assigned fur this event, it must be said, is still doubtful. The intelligence from Perpignan of the Ist of May, contains nothing of importance. The 29th ult. General Donnadieu was at Campredon. There has been a considerable fall of rain in the country, as also in Catalonia. An order has been sent here for 60,060 rations for the army. The rivers are not fordable ; it rains incessantly ; and the rations are obliged to be sent a distance of twelve leagues in uncovered carts." The two strongest advocates for the French Go vernment at the present moment are Mr. Cobbett and the Courier. Mr. Cobbett, in the due exercise of kis prophetic vocation (for albeit the day of the Gridiron sacrifice is past, the man yet liveth to be a cdbjuror to the nations) has been for months predicting how "the brave French People" would triumph over the dull heretics of Spain ; and the Courier makes it Its daily task to write commentaries on the sooth sayings of the Long Island sage. Now that matters, flowever, are taking the usual course of the old man's rophecies, the spirits of the commentator begin to kiroop ; and it is thus that he announces the last very sati.factory intelligence from Bayonne We have received Bayonne papers, &c. The accounts they bring arc still gloomy, and seem to be the forerunners of unlvourablc nexus !" Ills MAJESTY is considerably better ; yet the gout, though not with increased pain, still continues iii the wrist of the tight arm. Ye,terday, the L•`arl of LIVERPOOL, transacted busi• ness with Mr. Secretary CANNING at the Foreign Office. fbe KING received a long visit from the Duke of lent: yestet day. TILL A RMY It appear% by the decision of the Master-General of the Ord nance, that Officers or the Royal Regiment of Artillery and Corps of Royal Engineers, who have been allowed to retire on half-pay by their own desire, shall not be considered on perma nent half-pay, hut liable to he called upon to rejoin, when those on temporary half.pay are brought into their effective Regiment or Corps. Tuesday, a s o ldier belonging to the Ist Royal -Veteran Com pany, of the name of Funnel, was found in a ditch near the Spur Battery, on Chatham Lines. Ile was conveyed to the Hospital of Fort Pitt, where he shortly after expired from the injury he had received. A Coroner's Jury sat upon the body, and returned a verdict of—Accidental Death. Yesterday, Prince LEOPOLD had a numerous grand dinner and evening party. The Countess of ESSEX gave a grand Rita on Thursday evening, at her house in Hill -street, Berke ley-sq.i:i!e, to nearly 400 distinguished fashionables. The Earl and Countess MORLEY gave an elegant entertainment yesterday, to the Marquis and Mar chiones of STAFFORD, Earl GOWER, Lord BELORAVE, Viscount and Viscountess GRANVILLE, and a distin guished party, at Kent House. It is said to be now settled, that the Duke of Po upNAc is to be the accredited Minister from France to this country. The last accounts from Stockholm state, that great preparations are making in that City for the marriage of Prince OSCAR with th e d aug h ter o f P r i nce E u - GENE BRAUHARNOIS. IVe have authority to state, that the intelligence inserted in the London Prints as to the embarkation of Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD at Leith, in the Se- RINGAPATANI frigate, Captain WARREN, for Stock holm, is incorrect: the gallant General not having yet set out on his Embassy to the Court of Sweden. Yesterday se'nnight, an Inquisition was taken at Cambridge, on the body of Mr. David Beaumont, of the Eagle Inn. The deceased, who was only twenty five years of age, had complained of a slight oppression at the chest for a day or two, but appeared in excellent health : on the Thursday, after eating his dinner, he complained of being unwell, sank down, and expired.—Verdict, " Died by the visitation of Gon." Yesterday morning, in the Court of King's Bench, an elderly Lady went into the Jury-box, sons cere manic, and seated herself as Foreman of the Jury. The Jurymen seemed perfectly unconscious of the intrusion; as did the old Lady herself. The ludicrous appearance of a Jury so constituted produced an in voluntary sensation of laughter throughout the Court, until one of the officers glanced his eye at No. 13, whem the astonished Jurywoman was abruptly, and not without some reluctance, peremptorily compelled to descend from her extrajudicial station asJurywoman. Wednesday night, soon after twelve o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Dis brow, bookseller, in Castle.street, Windsor, which in a short time was Burnt to the ground. The flames caught the adjoining house, which was just fitted up for Mr. It. Clode, corn-chandler. Notice was imme diately given to the Foot and Cavalry Barracks for their assistance; their engines came immediately, but they could not get water in time, and the se cond house was also consumed in a short period. The wind being high, the flames communicated to Mr. Roberts's, a grocer, which was soon destroyed. The houses of Mr. BLUNT, saddler to his Majesty, and Mrs. WAND, caught successively, .and the latter fell in : when the fire was got under. Great damage is done to the house of Mr. KNIGHT, bookseller, which . is opposite, owing to the great heat' of the flames. Great praise is due to the Fusileers andLife . Guards, for their assistance. CITY Bustaiss.—A Special Court of Common Council was yesterday held, to receive a Report from the Bridge-house Com mittee relative to London-bridge, and for the transaction of other business.—Mr. Wat.sa gave notice, that he would, at the next Court, move a vote of censure on Alderman Magnay, for the un gentlemanlike language used by him, relative to the conduct of ; the Court, in not granting him a vote of thanks for his conduct during his Mayoralty.—Mr. Alderman ATKINS thought it an un usual thing to propose a vote of censure on an individual, (or cer tain words alleged to have been spoken by him, before any in , quiry took place, to ascertain first whether the words were or ; were not spoken.—Mr. Weasn said, he had waited to bring for ; ward this subject, until the worthy Alderman should be present; but he had slipped through his fingers.—Mr. Alderman Aranis moved that the notice should not be entered on the Journals of the Coat, which was agreed to.—On the motion of Mr. Alder man Woon, it was resolved to send a Deputation to the Com mittee of the House of Commons, stating that the communica tion made by theta to the Bridge-hoist Committee was so im portant, that the Court was induced to take further time to con sider upon it ; and requested, therefore, that the Committee would suspend their proceedings on the subject until after the next Court, to be held on Wednesday next. BAD TIMES.—Proof Ist.—The number of Com missions of Bankruptcy issued in the last four years has been progressively decreasing :—in 1819, there were 14.99; in 1820, 1821 ; in 1821, 1238 ; and in 1822, 1004.—Proof 2d.—The sums received by the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt from Savings' Banks and Friendly Societies amounted, for the last year, to £l,B7s,ooo—half a million more than the sum invested by these Institu tions in the preceding year. This is a decisive proof of a progressive improvement in the condition of the lower orders.—Proof 3d.-1 he trade of Knaresbo rough is in such a flourishing state, that in the short space of three years, upwards of three hundred dwel ling houses have been built, and small houses are no sooner finished than they are inhabited, principally by weavers' families.—Proof 4th.—During the last year SOO workmen's cottages have been built at Manches ter, and upwards of 100 are now in progress. ELEGANT GLASSES, FURNITURE, &c.—The No bility and Gentry are invited to inspect the Ware rooms of COOPER and Sort, 93, Bishopsgate-Within,! where is exhibited an assortment of new and second hand Plate Glasses, admirably suited to every descrip tion of drawing or dining-rooms. The prices are just reduced 4.0 per cent. on Plates measuring 100 inches by 72, and upwards ; and on those of smaller dimen- 1 sions the alteration will be found equally important. The extensive preference given to this Establishment is thankfully acknowledged by the Proprietors, who, in their endea spurs to evince their gratitude, by ma ntlfaeturing articles in a superior manner, at prices suitable to the times, hope to merit a continuance of public support. In the furniture department is com prised every new and elegant article of Upholstery,' Cabinet, and Chair-work, regulated upon such a scale of economy as to demand and ensure the pa tronage of rank and fashion.

Mr. HART stated that this was a bill praying for an injunction of the Court to restrain the defendants from applying the receipts and profits of Covent garden Theatre to any other purposes than those spe cified in the deed of the 9th of May, 1812. The bill also prayed that a receiver might be appointed to receive the monies which were so obtained from the Theatre. Mr. BELL, on the part of the defendants, said, that a demurrer in the case was pending, and he con ceived, therefore, that the present application could not now be granted. The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked, when the- violation of the deed of May, 4812, first commenced ? • Mr. HART was not prepared to answer the question. The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought, that the only course the plaintiff could now take, was to make a special application to the Court to hear the demurrer, and support that application by affidavit. The defend ant, Mr. Harris, ought to be supplied with a notice. Mr. HART said, that Mr. Harris was not to be found, although diligent search had been made. Upon the application of Mr. BELL, the Court al lowed the costs of the present motion. UNikritsiit IN tkittdriktk tAIIIRRTEibR. IfAt The Rev. Thomas Carr, ALA.
