reigns, would have ravaged and ruined the whole of that fine country, and menaced for a long time the rest of Europe." After still farther enforcing the salutary conse quences of foreign interference, by the example of the speedy restoration which was effected in Pied mont, the Circular proceeds to st:lte, that the Allied Monarchs will remain faithful to the principles which they have avowed, ivhatever new trial PaormENcE fay havc in reserve for thr::?. More than ever called upon, as all other legitimate Sovereigns and Powers are, to watch over the peace of Europe, to protect it not only against those errors and passions which would compromise the relations between Power and Power, but especially against those ruinous attempts which would give up the civilized world mall the horrors of universal anarchy, they believe that they would be profaning so august • a vocation were they to listen to the narrow calculations of a vulgar policy. As everything is simple, open, ani frankly avowed M Cie system which they have embraced, they sub mit it with confidence to the judgment of all en lightened Governments." " The Congress," the Paper goes on to state, 46 which has just been finished, will be renewed in the course of next year. The Sovereigns will then take into consideration the term to be fixed for those mea sures, which, with the consent of all the Courts of Italy, and particularly those of Naples and Turin, have been judged necessary to consolidate the tran quillity of the Peninsula. The Monarchs and their Cabinets will bring to the examination of this ques tion the same spirit which has hitherto directed them. Motives of incontestable importance determined the Sovereigns to interfere in the affairs of Italy ; they are far from wishing to prolong that interference be yond the lima of a strit.t necessity, desiring most sincerely that the circumstances which have imposed this painful duty upon them, may never again occur." Such are the most important passages of this ad ditional Circular, the publication of which must cer tainly he of great usc, in letting the world know what the Sovereigns specifically mean, a thing not easily to be gathered from the vague and general phra seology, in which their own Declaration is worded. Everything is now, indeed, abundantly " simple and open, in the system which they have embraced."— The principle which they have adopted, and are de termined, as far as it is in their power, to enforce, is imply this—that no change in the Government of any country, which is brought about by the People, or other- wise than by the free will and gift of the Sovereigns IP:10M Goo has placed over them, shall be tolerated. • —The only preliminary which is prescribed as requi site to the interference of these Potentates in mainte nance of this principle is, that the Prince or Sove reign who is menaced by his people, shall make a request for their aid ; but even this is prescribed in rather indefinite terms, seeming rather to leave it to the Sovereigns themselves to determine ►wen the state of matter s between a Sovereign and his people shall make it a desirable thing for some foreign Power to come to the aid of the former. We prc.ntnie that such doctrines as these stand in no need of refutation for the sake of any British Reader. They are at va riance with the pi inciples which seated the House of Hanover on the British Throne, and arc in ditect hos tility tosevery reason of policy which has been hitherto supposed to bind nations and communities together. —lt is impossible to view the consequences to which a perseverance in them by the Allied Sovereigns may lead, without apprehension and uneasiness. Spain, Portugal, and Turkey, arc each opening up £lds for new crusades to these Don Quixotes of Legitimacy ; they talk, indeed, as if they had much work yet on hand. But is it possible that even one other crusade on such a principle can take place without unsettling the whole political system of Europe and involving it again in general warfare and confusion? Accounts have arrived this forenoon from the Bra zils to the 7th of March. The following is an extract: RIO DE JANEIRO, MARCO 7. Yesterday a Decree of his Majesty was published, recapitulating the circumstances which induced him to take the oath to the Con , titution—lle observes, that it is absolutely necessary that he should reside in the place where the Cortes are assembled : that he shall leave the Crown Prince, his son, as Governor of Brazil. Another Decree of the same, issued for the election of Deputies without delay, the Deputies are to repair as soon as elected, to Rio, that such as arrive before his Majesty's departure may accompany him.

Tuesday se'nnight, as one of the boats employed by the Walls end Lime Company, was returning front Marsden Rock, near South Shields, heavily laden with lime-stones, a strong Sea struck her, when she immediately sunk, and Thomas Temple and John Temple (father and son), and R.Tullock,were drowned. Thomas Temple has left a widow, with a very large and young family, to mourn his fate. During a very heavy gale on Thee:lay sennight, fifteen or six teen large fish, of the species called Grampus, were driven on shore at Mevagissey ; several of then measured from 15 to 20 feet in length. A vast number of them appeared in the bay, and being observed by the persons engaged in the Preventive Service, were mistaken for a raft of kegs, and in the hope of obtaining a rich prize, the boats were manned and put out, regardless of the tremendous sea then going. Having ascertained their mistake, they were on their return, when one of the boats unfortunately upset; and of seven men who were on board, three, nanic ly, Jousters, CLARE, and PARTRIDGE, were unfortunately drowned, the others were picked up.

' szroannox or MEACHANDISZ TO N. S. WALLS IN CONVICT SHIPS. " Treasury Chambers, March 27. " Gztertamint—l am commanded by the Lords Commis stoners of his Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you, that, with re. spect to the Memorial of the Merchants at Sydney, relative to the revived practice of importing merchandise in convict ships into the colony of New South Wales, that my Lords have in formed the Commissioners of the Navy, that, as the convict ships and transports do not enter and clear out at the Custom house, they desire that no articles of merchandize may be per mitted to be shipped on board such vessels, beyond what may be required as sea -stores, for the use of the Officers, crew, and passengers, unless accompanied by the proprietors, who may be provided with a passage on board any such vessel. (:.3igned) " S. IL LUSHINGTON. " To the Commissioners of Customs." NAvIGATIuti EXTRAORDIKATT.—LIMIRICX, MAT 21.—A very curious and novel article was exhibited on our river on Wednes day last. A miniature sail boat, only four feet in the keel, with all necessary apparatus of sails and rigging. pushed up with great velocity, and with all the Importance of nautical trade. At first it was conceived to have been set afloat by some boys for amuse ment ; but as it approached the quays, she seemed to tack and shift her sails, as if aided by the science of a man of war's crew. Oa coming close to the dock, she was found to contain a small crippled boy, of the name of Ryan, from Kilrush, which place he said he left the day before, and sailed up the Shannon tear lessly, to gratify the people of Limerick, and to solicit from them some trifle towards sustaining him. The boat weighs, without ballast, only 30 pounds, and her ballast is but 36 pounds.—A few pence from the spectators will make him as happy as a Commo dore of a fleet. A private letter from Constantinople, dated April 26th, says, —" Things remain much in the same state as they were when I wrote last. Continual arrests are taking place, and a great many arms have been found concealed in the Greek churches. This accounts, perhaps, in some measure, for the severity which has been practised against the Dignitaries. A general search has been ordered to be made, the consequences of which will lead to some disastrous plunder. The more one sees and hears of this insurrection, the more reason is there to apprehend dan ger from their plans. Notwithstanding the continued-peaceable expressions which proceed from the Russian Functionaries, we have heard, from good authority, that the Greek Princes who escaped have been received at Odessa with great favour, and have been admitted to land, after a quarantine of onlyfour days! whereas, in all other instances of vessels arriving from the Turkish dominions, they have been subjected to an invariable and inflexible regulation, of performing thirty days quarantine. " Accounts from the Archipelago state, that the Idriots, Ip sariots, and Speciots, were inviting the different Islands in that quarter to declare for the Greek cause. The shipping was ex tremely numerous, and well-equipped. The Turkish fleet, which is now ready to sail, has been destined for that quarter. Some portion of it had gone upwards, when some troops had been sent to join them. The Dragoman of the Porte, and nine teen other Greeks, have been decapitated or hanged in the course of one day. The remainder of the troops now ready for action have been ordered to proceed to the Bosphorus, where they ] were to embark on board the vessels stationed there to receive them, these vessels having been moored near to the Black Sea, in consequence of the depredations committed by the Turkish soldiery, vetilst they remained in the canals. We are in great hopes that the departure of the fleet trill diminish the danger. As it is, the Police are quite useless; for, whether they du it from de , ..ien or not, they certainly make no attempt to crush the , lirentionseess of the soldiery. " An order has been issued, that no person should he out after sunset ; and although this order was understood to apply only to the Rajahs, some persons of the first respectability have been arrested for the infringement of it. The 'Vizier has at length arrived, with a cortege of 20,000 persons. He remained some time in the neighbourhood of the capital, wherein he made his entry on the 21st with great pomp. The troops who accompanied him will be conveyed below the Seven Towers, which are at the extremity of the capital, without entering Constantinople. "tan the day of the Vizier's entry, four Bishops and three Priests were hanged; two of the former over the door of the Church. This event has caused a great sensation here; fur although Ypsi lanti now merely says, that he wishes Moldavia and Wallachia to be governed by persons selected in the Provinces, and thus to surrender all his personal claims—yet the Greeks in the Mores seem to be less inclined to give up their claim to a perfect eman • cipation from the Turkish yoke. The accounts which we have received from that quarter state, that they have been successful against the Turks, and that Pons, Corinth, &e. *e in their pessessiuu ; adding, that the flame which has here been kindled, will hardly be eatinguished except by rivets of blood." THE ARMY. Major WOOD and Captain Covat's Companies of the 3d Royal Veteran Battalion, came in to Plymouth, the former on Stzurdry evening, and the latter on Monday, from Waterford, in tile Fox and another transport, and have been landed and placed in Old and New Cumberland Barracks. Captain BARTLEY'S Company cf the 49th Regiment have ar rived at Carlow, to do duty. The 4th Royal Veteran Battalion were disbanded at Ayr, on the 37th instant. Detachments of the 5d Veteran Battalion, from Tarbert, Cai-- rick Island, and Scatrary, arrived in Limerick on Monday and Tuesday sennight, on their route for Waterford. The 88th, or Connauzlit lianurs, expect shortly to leave Chester for Ireland. The embarkation of the 2d Royal Veteran Battalion com menced on Wednesday, at Waterford, when four Companies went on board the transports at the Parade. The tint division of the 49th Regiment, which is to replace the Ctl Veteran Battalion in Waterford, marched into that city on Wednesday. The detachment consisted of two Companies, under the command of Major DENIS. Another division was to arrive on Thursday, as also a portion of the Zid Veterans : the latter to he embarked for Plymouth. Monday se'nnight the nd Light Infantry, commanded by Colonel Sir JOHN COLDURNV, K.C.B. was reviewed at the Cita del, in hull, by General Sir JorIN Byac, commanding in that district. The Regiment went through their evolution, with the greatest accuracy, notch to the satisfaction of the G,neral, and a large concourse of spectators. Monday se'nnight the Borodino transport arrived at Hull from Deptford, to take on board the 6th Regiment of Foot, de.tined for St. Helena. The Regiment was to leave Leeds fur em barkation at that port, on Friday and Saturday last.

The Sporting World, in the City, are all alive to the great match made by two Solicitors, who have engag..d, for a bet of 200 gs. to go, between them, 100 miles in 24 hours. They are both remarkably healthy men, but past their climacteric. The task is to be undertaken any day in the month of June—betting six to four on Time I An admirably contested race was run, on Friday last, on Durdham Down for a considerable sum, betwetn a horse rode _ _ by Mr. A. PROMEROE, and a mare rode by Mr. It. Baiter. The Down was crowded with carriages, in which were a num ber of Ladies. The first beat, after a severe struggle, was won by Mr. PLOTHEROE by a neck. The second heat was also well contested; but on pulling up his horse for the purpose of turning inside the posts, which are awkwardly placed, Mr. PACITHEROE'S knee struck against one of them, by which he was thrown and lost the heat, but fortunately without receiving injury. Fur the third heat, the horse gave a stone weight to the mare t • and won. SUDDEN DEATH or JOE NORTON, roz PUGILIST. Yesterday, an inquest was held at the George Inn, George yard, Snow-hill, before T. Suwrox, Esq. Coroner, en the body of Joseph Norton, aged 54, who died suddenly, under the fol lowing circumstances:—lt appeared in evidence that the de ceased was formerly a prize-fighter, but latterly, in consequence of his being much impaired in constitution, he had no means of subsisting but from the bounty of a few friends, " who knew him in better days," and who occasionally supplied hint with food. On Saturday he was kindly asked by an acquaintance to partake of some mutton-chops at a house In Smithfield, where he ate hearty, and drank a pint of porter; he afterwards went to the house of Harry Harmer, the pugilist, where he took a couple of pints more of porter, and two glasses of stout, and whilst in the act of smoking a pipe and joking with some friends, he fell from his seat. Some of his companions who were present, jested and laughed at the deceased, challenging him with being intoxicated, and sent him home thinking him to be in that state. The following morning he was found in bed quite dead.— Several questions were put by a Juryman, in answer to which it appeared that the Gas-light Man, who had recently fought with Cooper, had beaten the deceased at the house of Belcher, of which he frequently complained, and said that he felt the effects of his blows, and he would never leave him, meaning that he would punish him for his conduct. The deceased at the time was partly helpless, and another prize-fighter of eminence beat I him with a stick violently. The Conti/tea did not consider that the Gas-light Man would be affected by having struck the de ceased, unless it could be proved that his blows caused his death ; and suggested the probability of the deceased dying front apo plexy. The Jury, after some consideration, returned a verdict, " Died by the Visitation of Goa." SPARRING. Turner, that distinguished artist at flowing and painting, had his annual benefit at the Fives-court yesterday, and a very hand some tribute was paid to this man of feather, by a full attendance of amateurs. The sets-to afforded much of quantity, and more of quality, and the following were the leading ones: Cribb and Oliver made an excellent 'set-to; but although against the veteran champion, in justice to Oliver, he had decidedly the best of it, and drew Cribb's claret. Oliver has been taking very careful training for his combat with Gas on the 12th of June, and he has gained much quickness, and rather astonished his friends. The Champion, on the contrary, has been in the sun shine of plenitude, " with his pipe and his pal, puffing sorrow away !" and this set-to seemed to annoy him in the wind-office. lie u P•.rn and Harry Harmer showed off a batch of science and rush, which gave much satisfaction. Sampson and Rasher made an entertaining set-to—or it was rather a fight in reality, with the gloves. Sampson made no effort to hit in the first two rounds, but he parried too well to get hit. In the third round he changed his system, and let loose with his left hand, until Rasher's head noddled about like a Chi nese image, and he had all the best of it. Brummagem will be at work with them, and he has put the big Black's fighting on one side, by the nobbing he gave him. Spencer and Burke also had a good turn-up ;as had the new Gas-man and Mason, but the former is too heavy a hitter for the latter. Belcher and Bina* afforded considerable amusement the latter evinced much skill. Randall and Turner: the wind-up of the sports was excellent between these pugilists, once foes, but now sincere friends, yet nevertheless both anxious to get the " best" with the gloves. The condition of Turner is fine, and his action so lively, and himself so eager for the attack, that his limbs appeared to be bung upon wires. Randall, front his recent illness, appears but a shadow of that Randall who fought and beat Turner at Crawley llutst. The gaiety of Turner, however, made no impression on the cool steady system of tactics pursued by the nonpareil. The stopping was fine on 'both sides. The spectators cried out " enough," in =sequence of the fight canting on so soon be tween Turner and Martin, lest any accident should happen to the former. - ; ssiip Neither the Gas-Light nor the Master of Me Rolls was present. will have the honour of entertaining her MAJESTY, Turner very politely returned thanks for the patronage he bad received on that day, also for past favours, and trusted that in and a select party, at dinner. future he'sbould always give the amateurs satisfaction, either in The labours of the Agricultural Committee are the ring or in that Court !—(Loud applause). drawing to a close, but not without some prospect In consequence of the sudden death of the Master of the of benelitting the country by their exertions.

EL ACOW. .When the Loan CHIEF his Tina took his seat, at half-past tea o'clock, lie h:furrned Mr. PARKS that the Court had taken into its consideration his appli cation, that her Majesty the Queen should file an .la vit of her innocence before the defendant was called upon to answcr the Rule obtained against hint for a criminal inf4niation. The Court were of opi nion that, on account of the illustrious. rank of the party, such an affidavit ought not to be required. The Rule, therefore, for the Cri:niaal Information against the Rev. Mr. Bancow, for a libel upon her Majesty, is made absolute. Our Readers will recollect, that the libel was in a Sermon preached by the Rev. Gentleman, at Liver pool, and afterwards published by him, with Notes. ELECTING A LEGISLATORIAL ATTORNEY AT BIRSIINGHAM. THE XING V. MAJOR CARTWRIGHT AND OTHERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL prayed the Court for judgment upon John Cartwright, Esq. J. T. Wooler, George Edmonds, J. G. Lewis, and Madocks, who were convicted at the last Summer Assizes for the County of Warwick. The record of the convictiop was then read, and the defendants took their places on the floor of the Court. The Lord Chief,Justice ABBOTT observed, that as Mr. Cartwright was a Gentleman advanced in yews, he might be permitted to have a seat; one was ac cordingly provided for the Major, and his friend, Mr. Walker. Mr. Justice BEST then proceeded to read over the notes of the trial, and had nct finished before one o'clock. As the defendants had then severally to ad. dress the Com t at great length, the judgment cannot be pronounced until a very late hour in the day. Yesterday being the Anniversary of the Restora- tion of King CHARLES, the sprigs of oak were very conspicuous in the button-holes of promenaders. At one o'clock the Park and Tower guns were fired. No business was transacted in either House of Parliament. Yesterday the Duke of YORK held a Levee, as Com mander-in-Chief, at his Office in the Horse Guards. Count MUNSTER had an audience of his MAJESTY yesterday. The Duchess of CLARENCE and Duchess of KENT rode out together, yesterday, in an open carriage. Prince LEOPOLD dined with the Duchess of carriag e. yesterday. Yesterday the RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR, Viscount SIDMOUTH, and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, had audiences of the KING. The Ball at Willis's Rooms, on Monday evening, was but thinly attended, in consequence of the many other splendid entertainments given chat night. Earl GROSVENOR will give an elegant entertain ment to Prince LEOPOLD and a large party of distin guished personages, on the Bth of June, at Grosve nor House. Yesterday the Earl and Countess De LA WARRE gave a grand entertainment, on the christening of their infant son, at their house in Upper Grosvenor street.

Mrs. BLacastt.aw has issued cards of invitation fcr a musical party on the 3d of June, at her house in Orchard-street. The arrival of the Earl of TALBOT from Ireland, the recent union of his Excellency's daughter with the Earl of DARTMOUTH, and the embodying of the Militia, of which the latter Noble Earl is Colonel, renders the town of Stafford very gay at this time. The Frankfort Papers state, that Count Laroue, who distinguished himself during the late troubles in Piedmont by his fidelity to his King, has quitted the Piedmontese service, and intends to retire into the Austlian States, because the amnesty he is said to have promised to the Revolutionists had not received the Royal sanction. This report is however con tradicted in the French Papers, and the Count is stated, on the contrary, to possess the full confidence of his Sovereign.
