The fol• Wing ate estractss F.IBIS, NOVEMBER It. M. Nunez, formerly Aide-de-Camp of General I:i^bo, set off on Monday evening, at half-past ten o'c!ock, as an extraordinary courier, with all speed, for Madrid. It is presumed that he has been dis. patcheg by the Spanish Ambassador, and that the news cf war, which has lately ;wen in cit (-Illation, has occasioned his sudden departure. M. Nunez is known fa: 1.i5 devotion to the Constitutional system, and tile indevendence of his country. It is somcw hat vernal kable, that the Spanish Bonds, which were en Saturday at 45f. were done, after 'Change !toms, at 541. This rise is attributed to the now well-authenticated success of the Constitutional armies.—ConditutioLucl. It is already known that the Regency of Urgel has negotiated a loan with M. J. Ouvrard. The amount is four millions of piasters. The Journal of Si. rticrzz.burgh says that an earth quake was felt in that city, which obliged many per • sons to lease their houses. The shock proceeded from north to south, and hrsted for abGut one minute. The weather was, at the time, calm, and the thermometer at twenty degices of Reaumur. M. the Marquis de Lascour, senior (by age) of the French Generals, and of the members of the Order of St. Louis, has just departed this life. Ile was 95 years of age. A letter from Perpignan, dated the 3d, states, that the fortifying of the citadel commenced the pre- VIOUS evening. Letters from the lonian Isles, of a very recent date, and which we have received this day, brings us un expected news respecting the situation of the Greeks.

The news from Greece is still contradictory. Earlier accounts froth Thev,aly stated, that Jussuf Aga had arrived at Larissa, with the Turkish garri son of the citadel of Corinth, and added, that the Turks, and Chourschid Paella himself, were greatly surprised at the scrupulous fidelity with which the Greeks had observed the terms of the Capitulation ; but there are new accounts from Larissa, of the 13th of October, which make no mention whatever of the arrival of Jussuf Aga and the garrison of Corinth, and it is therefore apprehended that the news of the surrender of that fortress, which would be so im portant to the Greeks, was premature. If, however, It is true, as reported from Belgrade i that Chourschid had left Larissa, and retied to Bitoglie, the Turks who may still be in the citadel of Corinth, can hardly hope to be relieved. CARLSIWITE, NOV. 4.

We have. learnt with much regret that accounts reached town in the course of yesterday, from the Pavilion, at Brighton, stating the continuance of his MaJEsTy's indisposition, and representing it as more serious than e were previously inclined to believe. It seems that his M AJESTY, before he experienced the kte attack of the gout, mentioned by us a few days ago, had laboured for several days under a severe de• pression of spirits. The Phybician, however, in at tendance, exlected, we understand, that the gout would, as in ordinary cases, have removed those languid symptoms. but in this he has been somewhat disappointed, and the reports from the Pavilion have, we fear, in consequence, assumed the unfavourabL character, which, unhappily, we now find them to possess.—Mo a ing chronicle. ' We have heard that the painful affection of the head, to which the Duke of WELLtNoirc,N has lately been subject, was caused by the improper application of lunar caustic to a sore ear. It touched the tym-• panum of theear, which became irritated, and affected the nerves of the brain to a violent degree. The Marqui, of TITCHEIRLD left town yesterday evening, for his father's (the Duke of Pormaxo) seat, Welbeck, Notts. The Countess of I'owts has arrived at her seat, Walcott, Sa lop, from the Duke of Northumberland's, Alnwick Castle. The Countess de Gaza is expected to arrive to-morrow at her house in St. James's-square, from her seat in Bedfordshire. Sir *3l. BURROUGHS, Bart. has left town on a tour. COVENT-GARDEN IEATRE.—Last night the Tra gedyTi of Romeo and Juliet was performed ; the part of Juliet by Miss F. H. KELLY, late of the Dublin Theatre, her first appearance on these boards. A more successful debut we never witnessed, if we ex cept that of Miss ablitit, in the same character— Miss KELLY, who appears to be very young, possesses all the requisites necessary to the formation of a fine actress. Her features are handsome ; and, as she shewed in the course of her performance, capable of the strongest and most varied expression. She is of middle stature, somewhat, but not unpleasantly, in clining to the en bon point,and very beautifully formed. Miss KELLY'S performance, however, afforded very convincing proofs that she is not one of those to whom beauty was given, but intellect denied. Throughout the whole of the arduous character of Juliet she en tered with fervour into the joy, the grief, and the despair, of the love-stricken Italian ; and she de scribed those different passions with much fidelity.— In the expression of deep grief she is eminently suc cessful. In her last scene she described, with ap- ' palling fidelity, the hurricane by which the bosom of Juliet is agitated. Miss KZLLY'a performance was received with the most animated applause. Mr. C. KIMBLE played the part of Romeo with his usual ex cellence. JONES was a pleasant Mercutio. The Nurse was performed by Mrs. DAVENPORT most humor ously. The Tragedy has been got up with great care, and at considerable expense. The new dresses are elegant, and the new scenery, particularly the view of Capukt'a garden, is truly beautiful. • i4lAir AL INTELLIGPidtiIIP I r ix ) Itstrtet of a letter fron, . - i 31, jr Bienhao dated July 1 :-- 41 Nagar beck, having, on the 18th , ht.

" St. Andrew's, New Brunswick, Oct. 1, 1822. _ _ " I am sorry to inform you, that in the Gull of Florida I Pell in with a piratical brig of war, who took from me 1050 dollars, which I was taking to pay port charges, &c.—money was their chief object. They knew my business better than I did; they told me that I had been to the Havannah with mules, and that thi price of them or the freight of them they must have, either in cash or hills. As I had no cargo on board, I told them that I had left the freight with my consignee, but this did not satisfy them. I expected they would have murdered me. They held a council of war whether to murder the whole of the crew or not, as some of my crew knew the pirates. They were under Buenos Ayres colours, but it was neither a Buenos Ayres vessel nor crew, but real Spaniards." MOUNT VESUVIUS. NAPLES, OCTOBER 21. Yesterday, at sunrise, Vesuvius was still tranquil, though for two days the water of the surrounding wells had entirely disappeared : but a few seconds after twelve o'clock, smoke, mixed with lava as usual, began to appear. About two o'clock a dreadful in ternal noise was heard throughout the whole neigh bourhood, and the noise continued to increase until midnight. In fine, about half-past three o'clock a terrible explosion took place from the upper cone, preceded by repeated shocks and internal howlings from the mountain. The shocks increased gradually to sunrise, and about two hours after sunrise, a torrent of lava about a mile broad was perceived, and extending as far as a mile and a half between she Casa de la Favorite and Resin*. The terror of the peasants, and of the people who at this season occupy their country houses, was so great, that the road from Portici to Naples' was filled with carriages conveying families and va• luables from the scene of Ja•-:ger. According to the latest accounts, the mountain was undergoing great coneulsions t and though the weather was serene, a thick cloud of ashes and stones darkened all the left side of the crater, and exhibited a spectacle at once picturesque and awful. myosin 23. The eruption of Vesuvius is terrible. The torrent of lava which flows towards Resina has already co, vered 100 acres of ground. The showers of ashes darken the sky, and fall even in the streets of the capital. The stones which have fallen at Boscotre Casa have accumulated to the height of five palms. The eruptions of stones are frequent, and the sounds which issue from the mountain are frightful. All the people who lived near the volcano have fled. About 800 persons from the neighbouring villages have been received by order of the Police and Pre. lecture. OCTOBER 24. While we are writing the sky is extremely obscure, and the shower of ashes continues. P. S. We learn, on official authority, that the moun tain no longer throws out either bitumen, fire, or ashes ; that Portici, Resina, and Torre del Greco, are delivered. On the side of Somma only, the ob scurity is still considerable, and the ashes fall in great abundance.—Gazetta di Napoli. The Duke of RUTLAND expects a large party of Noblemen in a few days at 13elvoir Castle, on a shooting excursion. Lady Nuover is nearly recovered from her late severe indis position.

Elisabeth Tomlinson, of Banton, near Stafford, has been com mitted to jail, 'charged with the murder of her husband. Yesterday William Tucker, about eighteen years of age, in the employ of Mr.Trumper, of Heston, near Hounslow, was brought to the Public-Office, in Bow-street, charged with maliciously shooting William Becket, eleven years of age, on the 17th of I July. The case had been before the Country Magistrates, but 1 1 they , through Colonel CLIIHEROW, bad decided that no malice was proved, and the complainant had better be satisfied with the payment of the Doctor's bill—upon which a warrant was applied for at the above Office, and immediately granted. The boy, it appeared, was minding some cows in a lane near Heston, when the prisoner came up with a gun in hii hand, and desired the former to throw up his cap, that he might shoot at it. The boy refused, but the prisoner snatched it away, threw it into the air: and shot two holes in it. He then reloaded, and said he would be d—d if he would net have a shoot at his and imme diately fired. The contents dreadfully mangled the head and face of the poor boy. Sir RICHARD Blame said, Ibis appeared to him a serious offence, and he should adjourn the examination, that Colonel Clitherow might attend, not wishing to interfere with other. Magistrates. The poor boy's appearance excited much commiseration. His cheeks and the front put of his head is full of hollow wounds. It came out in the evidence that he is an orphan in the fullest sense of the word: he is an illegitimate child, and his mother, a Mrs. Becket, put him to nurse to a woman of the name of Bell, who received as. a week, till Mrs. Becket died. Being in formed that the father was a man of considerable consequence, she applied to Mr. Dyne, an attorney, who for some time pro cured her a remittance but now no payment could be got, and the Parish refused assistance, because the mother's settlement could not be ascertained. The boy, therefore, is now humanely kept by John Bell, themes's's husband, a beeper of one of the locks on the Paddington Canal, scar liestoo, ellhoush he has , 'sot eight children of his own. 1 014 NIA, OCTOBER -. Since yesterday several Of f icial Notes have pasi,,i between the Austrian and Russian Missions, copies of which have been formally taken down at the Doke of Wellington's bureau. Nothing has transpired with respect to their contents. At an early hour yesterday morning, every conspicuous place in the town exhi. bited a printed placard, announcing to the tants that the Theatre was be splendidly lighted up that night, and consequently something more t h an ordinary was expected.: anticipation at once decided that the three Sovereigns had resolved to go in state to the Theatre. The fact was even so; Cleir Majesties had absolutely come to such a resolution, with the view of gratifying the good people of th e good town of Verona—an object that made the Em reror of Russia overcome, for the time, his natural aversion to theatrical exhibitions. At seven ~'clock the body of the Theatre was completely filled, and Me vivid light of numberless wax tapers, displayed the rich gilding and other decoradons, to the highest advantage. The several boxes found occupants ef a diversified character, but all ri them moving in the first rank of society. Princes, Dukes, Marqoisses, Counts, and Barons, interchanged nods of tecog . nition with Field Marshals, Gene ra l s , C o l one l s , an d Majors; and the latter bowed civilities to Mittisters of State, Ambassadors, Envoys, and Secretaries of Legation. Pi ince Metternich sat in the same box with the Duke of Wellington, who was dressed in hisamiformi as Master. General of the Ordnance, and decorateci,. with all his Orders. The personages composing the several missions were arrayed its the State costume of their respective countries; and those of the French and Russian diplomatic corps were strikingly con spicuous. Count Caraman assumed .4 an impo ing attitude" in one of the front boxes, wearing a tidily embroidered habit, enhanced by the Cross of S!. Louis and other heraldic appendage.. Oppo.ite in him sat Count Lieven in a dark green unifia m. splen didly ornamented with a profti,ton of dazzling lace, and chains of massive geld ; and further on wa, -ern, habited in a no lets co-tly manner, the mote im portant Count Nesselrode, accompanied by the never iailing Count Pozzo di Borgo, and- M. T.itischeff, with a whole hest of Muscovite dii As to the Ladies, tho'c who move in the highest circle of fashion, sheu ed the same spirit of tivalry in the splendour of their attire, that appeared to prevail among the men. The Archduchess Mai is LouLa, the widow of Bonaparte, wore a rich dre.)s of Brus sels lace over a white satin slip, and on her head a pink wreath, encircling both temples, and confini:lg the hair over the forehead, so as to exhibit in viv:,i lustre a tiara of brilliants, within which her braided ringlets were compressed. It was a quarter before eight when the S.vereigns presented themselves, and they were greeted from all parts of the house with loud and repeated cties of Viva! which their Majesties acknowledged by a con descending bow to the audience. The whole three were dressed in the Austrian uniform, the Emper; r of Russia appearing as Colonel of a Hungarian regi ment. His countenance is now a great deal more florid, and has a more marked expression than %then 'he visited London. The new Opera of Arminio wa; the entertainment commanded, and the el e s exerted themselves to the utmost. Their effo:ts, how ever, passed in a great measure unheeded, the general attention Lei ng absorbed in the presence of the al:gut visitors. As soon as the first act was over, the three Monarchs bowed again to the audience and wired, preceded by the great Officers of the Imperial suite, holding lighted tapers in their hands. The Empress, who had sat in another box, joined their Majesties ai they withdrew, and took the arm of the Emperor Alexander, while the Archduchess Maria Louisa w:ts handed to her carriage by the King of Prussia. OCTOB e 24. The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry ar rived here last night from Vienna, having come by Saltzburg and the Tyrol. The Duke of Wellington, anticipating their api torch, sent out a person two stages to. meet them, with a formal card of invita tion to dinner, but they did not reach town till eight o'clock, too late an hour to accept it. Another of ficial conference was held yesterday, but nothing whatever is known either as to the subject or the re sult. M. Tatischeff gave a grand Ball last night to all the official characters attending the Congress, and en bourgeois was the order of the costume. Lord and Lady Burghersh are hourly expected bete from Florence. The day before yesterday, the Duke of Wellington dined with the Grand Duke of Tuscany; and, on his return home, transa c t e d b us i ness ha s Secretary till a late hour. OCTOBER 25. It is now generally believed that the sittings of the Congress will not be pi ()longed beyond the 15th of December at farthest, and may probably terminate by the latter end of next month. The only que;tioa of difficulty will be the state of Spain ; for, in conse quence of recent overtures, the affairs of Greece are, it is said, so far in a train of adjustment as to leave no doubt that all parties, except the Greeks them selves, will rest satisfied, at least for the present. ocroBER 26. Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, a stout, well shaped, jolly-looking individual, with a slouched hat, an olive frock coat, loose blue trowsers, and his Cravat tied negligently round kis neck, entered the ordinary ante-room at the Duke of Wellington's, where all persons make their appearance before they ate an nounced. On presenting himself, he &sited the ser vant in waiting to shew hint at once into the Duk.• apartment, upon which the other stared and t:..• stranger smiled. He was no other than the Ernreror of All the Russias, and the instant he disclosed his rank the poor janitor looked confounded, while ae flew to Captain Cathcart, whose duty it was to an nounce the august visitor. His Imperial Majesty, cn being shewn in, addressed the Duke in terms of fa• miliar kindness, and remained closeted with him for nearly three hours. This is the first private visit which the Emperor of Russia has paid since his ar rival ;. and if distinct from any political object, the honour must have come doubly e n h a n ce d to the noble personage on whom it was-conterred. The Duke of Wellington had yesterday a select party to dine with him, among whom were the Mar quis and Marchioness of Londonderry. Lord and Lady Butghersh reached town at a late .hour last night, auu this morning they visited the Duke of ss kit whoa; they continued some time.
