the natives were going to 'Massacre them, arid pro claim their independence. Path terror and indigaa tion pervaded the shinds of the ignorant class of the Europeans, and being almost all of them enlisted in the Militia, crowded to their military posts, and in less than five hours about 3000 men were fully equip ped and under arms, raving for vengeance. In the night of the sth of this month, a list was presented to the Governor, containing 46 names of the persons said to have caused the riot, by seditious tries and insulting the Militia, and a prompt and se ,ere punishment was demanded. By that time the natives had begun to look for themselves, and to provide means of support for the Government, who were abandoned by the military force. On the even ing of the 6th, peace and order were again restored." The King cf PORTUGAL has, by a Decree of the 'Fth of January, sanctioned the establishment of a Protestant Chapel at Lisbon, which is declared to be under the special protection and direction of the Bri tish Legation at that Court, and that t is to be re• cognized as such by all the Public Authorities in the kingdom. If any credit can be given to the statements in the Paris Papers, the French Government is too far corn brined towards Spain to recede, and that war is ine vitable. The warlike tone of the French Ultra Jour nals is echoed, or rather instigated by the Ultra Press in this country. Some of our contemporaries call it the Ministerial Press, but this we deny, as it is very evident that the Courier and the New Times have been ignorant of the views of our Ministry, and have vindicated a line of policy to which it is decidedly hostile. This conduct on the part of two English Jour nals has had a considerable share in urging the French Ultras to war, from an opinion that they were but echoing the sentiments of the British Government. 4 , They have" as one of our contemporaries olr.erves, 44 all along written as if they were the pensioned advocates of a foreign Government, instead of the organs of their own :" and it is positively stated, and firmly believed. in Paris, that a London Journal, which has been the loudest in its clamours for war, is in the actual pay of the French Ultras.— So far, indeed, have the French Ultras been deceived as to the policy of this Government, that the Quoti diennc and the Drupeau Blanc of Tuesday assert that the Governments of France and England are agreed in their views respecting Spain. These Ultra Editors have before this time learnt how miserably they have been deceived, and that the British Government sees the iniquity and the injustice of the attack on Spain as clearly as the British People. Notwithstanding all that has been asserted of the unanimous feeling in favour of war in the French Chambers, yet this is far from being the case ; .and even in The Chamber of Peers, which has been ap pointed by the KING, and hold their 'seats only at his pleasure, an Amendment on the Address to his MAJESTY, condemning the war on Spain, was s upported by a minority of fifty-three to ninety; a circumstance which ought to convince Louts that the most honest part of his Peers are decidedly against the war. For the other 'news in the French Papers we refer to a preceding column. It is strongly reported in the City, that early in the Session there will be a funding of Exchequer Bills in the New Four per Cents. which seems the more pro bable, and gains belief, as the New Four per Cents. are full one and a half higher than they ought to be, as compared with the Old Four per Cents, and Ex chequer Bills are nearly lOs. per cent. premium. The Dike and Duchess of GtoucEsreit came to town on Saturday, from their sett at BAgshot, for The sea,on. Lard AUHERST, we are sorry to state, has been for wme time past indisposed. The Marquis of STAFFORD continues indisposed, at his house, at Richmond. THE AINa. • A report prevailed yesterday evening, that the ICING'S health was considerably worse t we are happy to state, that the report is untrue. A gentleman, who left Brighton yesterday afternoon, and who . hai means of knowing, ;assures us that his ALtirsTY's general health is good ; but that he is suffering severely from gout in the knees and alleles. His MAJESTY was so anxious to receive a general. outline of the Debate in both Houses of Parliament, on the Royal Speech, that a Messenger arrived at Brighton during the night with a dispatch from Lord Lamar , OL. The Messenger took his departure from the Palace in the course of yesterday. Our gracious KING has riot yet recovered from the fatigue he ex perienced at the Council,when the Speech, and other State matters oc cu pi e d hi s attent i on f or so long a time, as to occasion a lassitude, which still remains, to the extreme regret of us all. We are assured there is no personal danger attend ing this .protracted malady; but it is painful to observe, that it continues far beyond the period his MAJ . EsTv's mAical attendants at first predicted for its duration. GENERAL POST =OFFICE, FEBRUARY 7.

Extract of a letter from Castlebar (Ireland), datAl January 30, 1823—" in peace or in war, the 88th Regiment (Connaught Rangers) seems determined to be conspicuous. In honour of his Majesty's accession, the Officers of this truly gallant corps (now quartered in the province from which it derives its patronimic) yesterday entertained a select party of Gentlemen to dinner, at their barrack here. Their excellent band was the delight of the assembled strangers, during and after dinner ; and a grand display of fireworks from the barrack-yard, in the course of the evening, astonished, while it excited the admiration and wonder of, the inhabitants, rushing in crowds from every quarter of the town to witness the unexpected novelty. This corps was among the first to come forward with a liberal subscription for its suffering countrymen, during the late distresses in Ireland, and we find it early in the list of subscriptions for a monument to the memory of his late Majesty, and also subscribing fur the erection of such a testimonial as may hereafter be raised to commemorate his present most excellent Majesty's late visit to Ireland."

Mr. Justice BAYLEY has expressed a wish to resign his seat in the King's Bench, for the less laborious functions of a Baron of the Exchequer. The King's Bench Bar have presented an Address to his Lord ship, expressive of their regret at being likely to lose a Judge whose profound knowledge, upright charac• ter, and amiable deportment, throw such a lustre on their Court. Mr. JEKYLL, on the first day of the present Term, resigned his office of Master in Chancery, as a return to the duties of it was considered as prejudicial to the permanence of his late recovery.

Pza. 1.--On the 14th tab while Grottos F4( l . of Leslie, was walkingwitlifits totyling.plece on the banks of the Leven, looking for wild ducks, he saw an uncommon water fowl dive in the river ; and on observing that it had seized its prey, he fired and killed the animal; when he found he had not only shot the bird, but a large trout, which it was in the act of swallowing. The bird, on examination, appeared to be the " garland duck," well known on the coast of Iceland, but rarely seen in this country, except on the northern shares, in the twist inclement weather. On the 23d, the same geutleman observed a large otter, an animal now rather rare in Fifesbire, rising and darting down, amidst the snow and ice on the Leven. Watching it, till it seized its booty and swain to shore, he killed it on the spot, by a shot through the head. On approaching it, he again found that he bad not only destroyed the poacher, but recovered its plunder, as there was between the otter's teeth a trout nearly fifteen inches in length. The otter measured three feet ten inches from the nose to the tip of the tail, and in girth eighteen inches. CURIOUS ASSOCIATION OF ANIMA LS. A singular instance of the association of animals, inimically op. posed to each other, occurred last week in a lone barn lachniging to Mr. Amos, at Owre, near Faversham. A nun annually em ployed to kill the rats in the barn, haying killed 45 rats, found two fine rabbits, a pule eat, and a stole, which were also destroyed. . • GAME L.IWS. At a petty sessions held in Devizcs on Tuesday last, Maltkias Carter, a Bigler, of Holt, was convicted in seven penalties MX.; each, for having in his possession seven pheasants, which he had bought of a poacher, named John Alford. Yesterday, at Union Hall, Willians Callaghan', driver of a Portsmouth waggon, was fined £5, for carrying game. SKAITI NG. The ice, on the greater part of the Serpentine River, bore yesterday, but the day was too inclement for the exhibition of much diversion. There were a few skaitera on it about two o'clock, performing evolutions with umbra:as over their heads. The snow. drifted 'with amazing force. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE ICE. On the Sind ult. a melancholy occurrence took place on the lake of cast6strange in the demesne of Turmas Alircnett, Esq. in the county of Roscommon. A man of the name of Casey, in crossing an artn of the lake, had not proceeded many yards upon the ice, when it gave way, and he sunk immediately; but having acrid( ntally found footing on a rock, he was not perfectly over. wltrlnted. 1k encouraged the hope of being saved by the arrival of three brothers of the name of Kilroe, who, with true Irish courage and humanity, ran to his assistance. On e o f t h em h a d succeeded in fastening a rope round his waist, when tbeicegiving way again, he also'sunk. His two brothers, anxiously, but in considerately, ruched towards him at the same moment, to 'bare, alas! with a friend and brother, their premature and watery .1 1 - 1 • •• 1 '• • • ._ _. • A tire b ro k e out =out two ociocit this morning, grave.

Wit ness then returned to the Court, intending to instruct Counsel to move fur a cr . •ed information against him, but the Court had risen in the meantime. When he was again leaving the Court; the defendant accosted him with, " Well. have yen moved the Court? I'll d—d saon move you, 7 can tell you.". AIL this, he kruev, arose from the part he had taken against. the gamine house-keepers; hut he was determined to pursue them to j u d g e ment.

Vexed and irritated that he (defendant) whoJsad " doh,/ as much as any man in London to expose and put down gamesters and gaming houses," should be pointed out as a common gambler, he fol lowed Mr. Woodroffe, and demanded his address, in order that he might bring an action against him for the gross libel which hd had uttered. This Mr. Woodroffe refused, and he did call him a liar and a scoundrel, terms which lie thought were merited by a man who would utter a libel upon another. and had not the courage to meet the consequences. He (defendant) finally pushed rudely by Mr. It'oreiroffe, hut did not strike him. Mr. Woodroffe then called Mt. Smith, his friend, who swore to tbe assault. Some warns conversation then took place, in the course of Which the defendant accused Mr. Woodroffe of compounding a felony. Sir 'Benner, Ibeent—Those are strong words, Mr.Westma. cots, and would have been better emitted. The defendant explained that he meant an information upon a penal statute, and not a felony. Mr.Woodroffe, he said, had taken money from a Mr. Aldridge to quash an indictment. Mr.Woodroffe denied this. He had brought an action against Aldridge, and had drOpped it on payment of the debt and costs. Mr. HALLS said - that- he was very softy that two . individuals 'who, bd believed...had jollied in the same laudable object, should be thus at-variance. kir. Woodroffe said the worthy Magistrate was a little mistaken in lh'et respeit, for his operations and intentions and those of the defendant were exactly counter to each other. The defendant observed, that Mr. Woodruffe had that day avowed his intention of proceeding against hint before the Judges by attachment, for contempt of Court, and he hoped the Magis trates would leave him to that course. A meisenger of the Court was then called by-the defendant, and he denied that soy blow was struck. • Mr. Hatks Said Alt: .

Pickpocte.—Yesterday &Mantin, charged with pick ing pockets at Drury. Lane Theatre, was brought up for re-exa mination before Ste !items-Re Blame.
