Some to es are still entertained in Paris, that war with E.3p.in may not take place. TII:s forenoon we received Bayonne Papers to the ait!l ult. The Saragossa Gazette gives a cempre hensive view of the operations of General MINA in Catalonia, which shews, that notwithstanding all the bravado of the Army of the Faith, no sooner was it met by Constitutional troops in sufficient force, than it %%as dkrersed, and its scattered elements are wan dering in all directions. We have received the Austrian Observer to th e 20th, and Nuremberg Papers to the 25th ultimo.— The for slier merely announces the death of Field Mar shal LAUDON, who had distinguished himself in the war of the French Revolution, and who was nephew to the more celebrated Marshal of that name—the fa. tnily was originally Scotch, and from Ayrshire. The Austrian funds are very slightly affected by tLe warlike temper of the Congress, which is the more caraordinary, as they suffered a great depression during the vicissitudes of the Turkish question. The Nnremberg Paper gives news from Greece, as latc ai the 24th'of October, at which time Cnouas cau PACZA. or at least part of his army, was at La the capital Of Thegaly. He is represented him elf as then occupied in organizing his forces, which are said to be considerable—in securing his commu nications with Macedonia, and in averting an attack from the side pf Epiru!. wintre MAUROCORDATO is sail to have been at the.btad of a considerable force. Nothing new baa toccurred in the Morea, only that Psti as w blcecaded by the Greeks. Napoli di Ro ms-ga was still in the hands of the Turks, as were Coron and Madan.— We observe that the German Powers of the sicond rank are raising their armies to the full complement; and well may they take these precautions, seeing the violence and arrogance of the Powers of the first rank. Bavaria is taking this step ; and Saxony *has set her tLe example.. MiLtdelphia Papers arrived this morning to the 2d Y vember, but their contents are unimportant.

QUEENSBERRY CA USE. COURT OF SESSION, NOVEMI3ER.es. The cases between the Earl of Wemyss, the Duke of Queensberry's Executors, and the tenants on the March estate, regarding the questions of damages and violent profits claimed by the Earl on account of the leases granted by the Duke of. Queensberry, were called in the first division of the Court of Ses sion to-day. As soon as the Counsel had taken their places at the bar, - The LORD PRESIDENT stated that a doubt had oc curred to the Court as to the competency of the action of declarator and damages pursued by Lord Wemyss against the Executors, on the' ground that that action had been raised during the lifetime of the Duke of Queensberry, when it was impossible that any damage could have been sustained by Lord Wemyss. His Lordship added, that it did not ap pear that this point had been foil) , argued in the papers before the Court; but that it had occurred to their Lordships' that, if they should sustain any pro ceedings under that action as it no•,v stands, it was very probable, from the critical attention shewn by the House of Lords to every point connected with regularity in the form of the proceedings, the case might be sent back from the House of Lords on the single ground to which his Lordship had alluded.— His Lordship concluded with recommending to Lord Wemyss, the pursuer, to bring a new action now, which, if the Executors should consent to dispense with, the induce might be brought into Court forth with, and might enable their Lordships to proceed with more confidence in the regularity of the process; and with this view his Lordship proposed to supersede advising the cause until the new action should be brought in.

The Right Hon. and Learned Judge was assisted on the Bench by two Naval Officers of rank. It appeared by the affidavits, and by statements not in question, that the ship John and Thomas, of 450 tons burthen, and with a cargo of 600 tons of timber on board, was on its way to Liverpool on the 19th of April last, when having taken pilots on board from the Scilly Isles, it was driven by stress of wea ther to seek an anchorage in the bay of Penzance.) She had lost her rudder, some of her cables, and was, leaking considerably. The anchorage that was chosen I appeared to several of the witnesses extremely pe rilous, and Lieutenant St. John, an Officer com manding the Fox, revenue cutter, who was just on the point of leaving the place, offered his services, and by means of his cutter, towed her to a place of greater security. Several days elapsed before the skip could be effectually repaired, or enabled to pur-' sue her voyage, during the first part of which the wind increased to a hurricane. The Master, Samuel Baxter, was stated to have contemplated cutting away the masts, and allowing her to drive as a wreck ashore, but to have been dissuaded from that step by the remonstrances of Lieutenant St. John, and ano ther of the witnesses. There was much adverse swearing with regard to the conduct of Mr. St. John. It appeared he first asked £BOO for salvage, and then reduced his demand to £3OO. Oa the other side £lOO was tendered. Lord Srowau, observed, that be had the satisfac tion of concurring in opinion with the Professional Gentlemen who sat near him in regarding the salvage , in the present case as of a limited nature, as not evincing any of that enterprise that could exalt it into heroism, and as displaying only the requisite degree of skill and labour for towing the vessel to a safe - anchorage. The original claim of £BOO was el-, cessive. It was true, on the other band, that £lOO might appear a small requital, considering the size of the ship and the bad weather he had encountered I, but her cargo was not valued at more than £2700, nor was she herself in so disastrous a condition as had been represented. Upon the whole case, he should' dismiss the defendant Cram any further observance after payment of the £lOO which was first tendererclei He was unwilling to mark it with costs, at least with- Costs previous to the refusal of the geodes. . . Dattftt-tame.----Last night, after the Conway of Wild (Idle, Salina 'weni off with the accustcniteal scido; little CLARA Fseetia made her first appearance . this Theatre, and was honoured with a most flatterin. reception. He r a pp earance h as l ost nape p f i ts i nte r rest, nor her acting one particle of- it4hscinationi during her rural. ezeursions. The part' selected for her was Little Pickle, in • The Spoiled Child, a darn= ter peculiarly adapted to the display of her extraor dinary powers. With the volatility and archness of youth, some traits of its fondness and sensibility are blended, which she delineated with amazing fidelity. There are a thousand nameless charms in acting which art can never confer, and which bear the faithful im press of natural endowments. Such are the charac ters which mark the performance of this dramatic prodigy. She may justly, then, be considered an ac cession to the strength of this Company. Other stars may be more brilliant in their course ; none, certainly, can excite more delight and amazement. COVENT-GARDEN.—Last night was produced at this Theatre the long-promised new Opera, entitled Ma id Marian, or the Huntress of Arlingford, "founded (to use the words of the Adapternhincipally on the incidents, poetry, and dialogue of ;little novel, so named, by the Author of Headlong Het—Mr. PEA COCK." The popularity of the novel, and the still greater popularity of the collection of ballads, enti tled Robin Hood's Garland, and Itrrsoa's collection Of ballads and legends concerning " Robin Hood and his Merrie Men,' from which the story of the novel is compiled, relieve usfrom the necessity of detailing the plot at any length. The incidents of the novel which have been preserved by the dramatist are, the interruption of the marriage ceremony, by the at tempt to seize the Earl of Huntingdon; the adven ture of Sir William of the lee; Gamwell Feast ; the destruction of Arlingford Castle; the introduction of the Baron Fitzwater and his daughter Matilda to the Outlaws, and the latter's change of name to " Maid Marian;" the adventure of Marian with Richard Cana de Lion, and the scene with the latter in the bower of Robin Hood. With these are incorporated Prince John's attempt on the life of his brother Richard, and his banquet at Nottingham Castle, from Sir WALTER SCOTT'S novel of I vanhoe. - The exertions of the performers in general were well put forth, and liberally applauded. The " lion , hearted" Richard was well personated by Mr. T. P. Coolie; the testy, self-willed old 13477,11 Fitzwater, was well pourtrayed by Mr. W. PARREN ; the jovial, carolling, carousing, and cudgel-playing Friar tick, found an excellent representative in Mr. C. Kastact. He was, in truth, an excellent representative of " the church militant." His jest, his flaggon, and his quarter-staff, flew about most merrily. He even ven tured on a verse or two of an old ballad, and thus completed the character of the jolliest of Friars. Mr. ABBOTT, as the King of the Archers, upheld the ho .nour of the Lincoln Green ; and the character of Lady Matilda, or Maid Marian, frank, blithe, and merry, yet gentle, affectionate, and gracefully feminine, was finely conceived, and embodied by Miss M. TRILL —The new scenery produced on the occasion, of which there was a great variety, equalled anything of its kind that had ever before been exhibited. The Ban quet Scene was perhaps the most splendid that was ever produced on the Stage; the dresses and decora tions have been all got up with the same attention to. magnificence. A Trio, introduced in the Banquet scene, by Mrs. Bisitoo, Mrs. STERLING, and Miss Love, and the accompaniment on the harp by Mr. CHIP, and his pupil, Mr. RosT, jun. were warmly ap plauded. The annexed Song was beautifully sung by Miss TREE, and unanimously encored : The love that follows fain Will never its faith betray; But the faith that's held in a chain Will never be found again Should a single link give way. For, hark ! hark ! hark ! The dog doth bark, That watches the wild deer's lair, The hunter awakes at the peep of the dawn, But the lair it is empty, the deer it is gone, And the hunter knows not where. No —no, no, no, The love that follows fain, &c. • The following sestett was spiritedly sung, and much applauded : 0, bold Robin Hood is a forester good, As ever drew bow in the merry green wood; • At his bugle's shrill singing the echoes are ringing, The wild deer are springing for many a rood, His summons we fellow o'er brake and o'er hollow • The shrilly•blown summons of bold Robin Hood! And what eye bath e'er seen such a sweet maiden Queen As Marian, the pride of the foresters' green? A sweet gentle flower, she blooms in the bower, Where alone to this hour the wild rose bath been ; We hail her in duty, the Queen of all beauty— We will live, we will die, by our sweet maiden Queen! And we've a grey friar, geed as heart can desire, To absolve all our sins, .as the case may require; Who with courage so stout lays his oak plant about, And puts to the rout all the foes of his choir; For we are his choritters—we, merry foresters, Chorusing all with our militant friar! Among the crowd of melodies and harmonies, we were peculiarly struck with almost the closing one, to these interesting and poetic words: 0, well do I remember that lone but lovely hour, When the stars had met, and the dews had wet each gently closing lower, When the spoon-lit trees waved in the breeze above the sleep ing deet. And we fondly stray'd through the greenwood shade, the spring time of the year. - - When all was still beneath the bright moon's chaste and quiet eye, Save the ceaseless flow of the stream below and the night wind's fragrant sigh, Which brought the song of the distant throng so faintly to the ear, As we fondly stray'd through the greenwood shade in the spring time of the year. 0, like an infant's dream of joy was that sweet hour to me ! As pure, as bright, as swift in Sight from care, from fear as free. And front my heart the Ufe must part, which how its pulse doth cheer, Ere the thought shall fade of that greenwood shade, in the spring-time of the year! The falling of the curtain was followed by long continued plaudits, and the Piece was announced for repetition without a single dissentient voice from an exceedingly crowded audience. We anticipate in favour of this new effort of Covent-Garden a run commensurate with the expense which the liberality of the Theatre has incurred in preparing it.

The deer then took up the Coihmon towards the ftabbit-warred, through the inclniures to wards Harrow, making a double to the right, tvhere he got into a pond, and kept the hounds off for some time, but nas soon got out. The deer was at length taken, about two miles Irons Hayes, after a chace of upwards of two hours. Whilst hunting with the Sussex fox-hounds, tine day last week, ALZIAMER Donovait, Es* of Framfield-place, narrowly escaped being killed in a singular tall from his horse. In the heat of the chace, and galloping at full speed, he attempted a gate, but the horse slipped as he was about to take the leap, and both he and the rider were precipitated over time gate ! The horse, atint animal, escaped unhurt, and dlr. 1). with a few scratches. bLe fell head foremost. SPARRING. Yesterday there was a numerous assemblage at the rives Court, in favour of Randall. Here one of the greatest artists the kingdom ever knew e.tErd his friends together, to exhibit those qualifications nature had served him with ; and it was ex pected that the fight being off between him and Martin, owing to the jobbing of Martin's backer, o turn, et the special desire of the Conintancler.in-Cliief, would have tam-n place. Not so, thought Martin and his friends: and he said, " I hive 'been "napped twice by him, and I can throw wen ' s the main, tread in the mill as well as anybody, now my hAcker's floored." The sets-to were indifferent, except that lietween &lace and Ward (the crosier.) Belasco, from superior science, opposed to a man a stone and a half above his wee:lhr, chewed that which convinced the amateurs Ward was a cal or a righier. The littehr Jew had the best at every turn. Randall set-to with Harry Holt; here was a sri:ntific display. Scroggins gave a jolly turn-up, and all se e m e d s a t i s fi e d wit h the Nonpareil's muster. His foes did not envy him, his friends caressed him, and so went off the frolic, to the advantage of one of the greatest phenomena of the day. BOXING MATCH EXTRAORDINARY. Yesterday a ludicrous circumsunce took place at the West End of the Town, between a Carisaision of the first viLter, and hip coachman, which ended in a pugilistic bout. The drawing room, by all accounts, had the appearance of a slaughter-house, and the only seconds present were my lady and the housekeeper. The fight originated in the following circumstanc e : Coaches having heard something which he thought prejudicial to his master's character as a Gentleman, felt no hesitation in charging him with it, little anticipating such a milling; and yes terday morning, when he was privately conversing with his lady, Jarvis, without ceremony, entered the drawing-room, and made use of the most impertinent language, calling his master a d—d scoundrel, vagabond, and a blackguard. Such conduct astonished the master and mistress, and the former requested to know who was the author of the slander, as he wrauld punish the base in ventor. This Coacher refused to tell, and laid his hand on his master and pushed him away. Such conduct could no longer be brooked, and the parties set-to. The master, who had not neglected the science of boxing, had the best of it, and in a short period the head of the coachman, through fibbing and short hits, was a mass of cuts and blod. The coachman could not come to time, and he was bundled out of the room like an ill-bred dog. Unfortunately the Lady, seeing her lord involved in so disgrace ful a scene, fainted. Her husband immediately proceeded to Marlborough-street Office, when all the officers proceeded and apprehended Coacher, who went to the Office worse beat• than any prize-fighter. His master entered into a description of the battle, and the cause of it, and the prisoner was ordered to find good bail. NOVEL BATTLE. Sunday se'nnight two crows were observed playing and gam bolling with a sea gull, on the island in the Lune, at Kirkby Lonadale. In an instant, and apparently by concert, they both pounced upon the gull, and struck it dead at one blow with their beaks; and immediately proceeded to strip off the feathers, and devour the flesh. PEF.BLES-SHIRE SHOOTING AND COURSING CLUB.
