!et there k no Ij o k e Ow between isanceslisiAalow.„....,_ ocleatiOn that the Holy Allan tir - 41 - strla; intend _to: take. a 'share in the contest, i.hes no one can mistake, but - their 'design's o pt eolicitly divulged. The Note of Russia says— , y. e spress die desire of seeing a protracted misery tenni .% to snatch from the same yoke an unhappy Monarck, and di dd l e first atmog European nations—to stop the effusion of 0 ,4 1 ,01 to facilitzte the re-establishment of an order of thing s wise an d national, is certainly not attacking the indepen_ Oc t ma d, country, nor establishing a right of intervention against power whatever would have reason to protest." c e rtainly the Emperor of Russia may express any jes kei he wishes; but he has no right to interfere, fiber directly or indirectly, by open acts or by in ion, with the internal affairs of a country, po, under any circumstances, would never meddle with hi m , We are then told that the reply of Spain so ot decide questions of the very highest im potence." Now, we do not see that Spain has any el ision to answer the Note at all ; but to hold the pen tenour of her way, regardless of the enmity which bet firmness, in securing her independence, excites among the despots of Europe. The Notes of Austria and Prussia are not quite so k a sha as that of Russia, nor do they require parti ally notice. That of Prussia, however, asks a few regions which the Spanish Government will feel ro dificulty in answering; and from the firrruiess sod temper which the present Spanish Ministers have displayed, we doubt not their reply will be wo rthy of them and of the sacred cause in which t hey are engaged. }hying already remarked on those insolent Notes, athave now to state the manner in which they have ken received at Madrid, which we learn by the French Papers of Friday. The conduct of the Cot tcs L es been such as all friends of Spain, and admirers t i the Spanish character, cannot fail to regard with pride. There was not merely exhibited that unani mity of sentiment which such an occasion would na turally inspire into the hearts of an assembly of free men, but a tempered, measured, and resolute corn posnre, at once the most secure and most formidable accompaniment of the spirit which rises against in justice. ARGUELLES, the leader of the moderate pa t ty, marched, in this instance, pa r i passa with GALIANo, the head of the Liberals. A motion of Atioutia.zs to adjourn for eight and forty hours, that Europe might be convinced of the deliberate coolness by which the Councils of the Spanish Legis laore were directed, was at once approved by the Crotes. ARGUELLES was appointed a Member of the Committee of Diplomacy, charged with the proposi- UM of a Message to the KING; and GA LIANO bore a generous testimony to what had always been his con viction—that however they might differ on the details ofthe public service, ARGUELLES would, whenever the safety and dignity of the nation were at stake, be the foremost in defending them.: This impor t ant subject was taken into consideration in the Sitting of the Cortes on the 9th instant. M. SAN MIGUEL, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, an nounced, that the four Notes had been received from the Cabinets of France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, and though the affairs to which they related did not belong to the jurisdiction of the Cortes, yet the Go verament wished to make the contents of these do cuments known to the Cortes, as well as the answers of the Spanish Government. When the Notes had been read, M. SAN MIGUEL observed, that as these documents contained no determinate proposition, the Government of his Catholic Majesty did not think roper to reply in a categorical manner to communi cations which consist merely Of a tissue of false sup positions, invectives, and calumnies. He added, that the Government proposed to issue a Manifesto, in which would be faithfully traced the history of the Spanish Revolution, and of the conduct which the Government had constantly observed. The instruc tions of the Spanish Government to their Charges des *fires at the respective Courts were then read, amidst cries from the spectators in the galleries, of "Live Spain !—Live the Sovereignty of the People ! —Death to Tyrants !" The Cortes then passed a Resolution unanimously, "that no modification shall be made in the Constitu tion proclaimed at Cadiz in the year 1812, except such a measure shall be called for by the unanimous voice of the nation, and shall be adopted in confor mity with what is prescribed by the fundamental code.' M. GALIANO proposed that the Cortes should ad dress a Message to the King, in 'which his Majesty should be informed of the declaration just made by the Cortes. In the Message it was proposed that the Xing should be assured that the Cortes were resolved to make every possible sacrifice for maintaining in its foil integrity the Constitution of 1812, as well as the splendour of the Constitutional throne ; that the Cortes "gild furnish to the Government every assistance Necessary for repelling every hostile attempt on the Pet of the Powers whose Notes had been read ; and dot all Spaniards would contribute with pleasure to entnrprise which had for its object to defend the **loaf liberty and independence. A great part of the Deputies rose, and wished to . ipak in support of this proposition. The PRESIDENT observed, that the unanimous vote th e Deputies in favour of the motion of M. Galiano ed all discussion on the subject at that mo t unnecessary. M. ARGUELLEa, after informing the Cortes with ::*hat indigwatien he had heard the Notes of the four ° fbAtts read, observed, that the consideration of N. Caliano's motion might to be adjontned, that it might be made evident to all Europe that the resolution to which the Congress was about to come was not the malt of a momentary impulse. He proposed that the motion should he referred to the Diplomatic Com mittee, and that that Committee should, within forty eight hours, present a draught of the Message to be addressed to the King. He concluded by a strong declaration of his firm attachment to the Constitu tion of 1812. The speech of M. A RouELL Es was followed by the greatest applause. The Cortes adopted the motion of M. ARGUELLES. The PRESIDENT then nominated that Deputy a Member of the Diplomatic Committee. Mr. A t the close of the debate, all the Deputies rose, and the cries of " The Constitution I the National In dependence 1' were alternately repeated. The PRESIDENT adjourned the Sitting. This forenoon we received a German Mail, with Papers to the 13th instant. The Emperor and Em press of Ausrat*, and the King of NAPLES, reached Vienna on the 4th instant. The Orkatal Spectator, of 30th November, gives an account of the plundering of the Sardinian bri gantine the Spirit() Santo, Captain CORSEN/GO, by a Chtiut blig, which first sent a boai to seize the Captain, and when he was on board the Greek pirate, his vessel was plundered of eve-ything. The Captain thinks the Greeks would have murdered him and his crew, had not a large vessel appeared in sight. The' Greeks then put the Sardinian' Captain on board his vessel, and sailed in a different direction. The Cap tain has come to Smyrna. The same authority, not a veritable one cettainly, states, that the Grteks of Missoloughi have seized an Austrian sloop, and murdered the Captain, Count JAVONOVICII, and three of his crew. Letters from Syra of the Bth, mention a conspiracy that had been discovered among the Greeks, which had for its object to plunder the island and the vessels in the port, and to massacre the Catholics. The Spec-Wear Oriental contains a long article on the Greek Insurrection, which is of the true Holy Alliance manufacture, and might form a good appendix to the three Notes we insert to-day.— The Greeks are vehemently reproached for rebelling against the Sultan, which it declares to be " unjust and criminal," as it " violates the principles of legiti macy." How tender the rogues are of all legitimacy, save that of the rights of the people. The pathetic manner in which this Address appeals to the. Greeks is eminently ridiculous. We cannot forbear copying a portion of it. It is quite in the style of Russian humbug, and we would almost swear that Count NESSELRODE had written the article himself. " Your S vereign," says the Address, 44 it is true, was the Sultan, and you are Greeks ; but PRovr- DENCE had given him to you for many centuries, and you ought to have respected him. It was not in his power to change his Government and his Religion to please you ; but he left you at all times the free exer cise of your Religion, and every year his benefits made you advance gradually towards your emanci pation ; your credit daily increased in the capital ;. your commerce absolved everything; your privileges were on a footing with those of the Europeans ; pour increasing wealth enabled you to found everywhere rich establishments. " Your armed merchantmen covered all the seas, your public schools multiplied in Turkey ; the dawn of the revival of letters already tinged the horizon with its brilliant colours ; the tree of life of Greece began to take root, and to put forth tender foliage ; but, alas ! it has been suddenly blighted by the infec tious breath of pernicious sects, enemies to the repose of the world; it has groaned beneath the repeated strokes of 'the revolutionary axe, and, already bowed to the earth, it is an object of mourning, • when but lately it seemed to encourage the most delightful hopes ." How involuntarily does Mr. Burchen expression —" Fudge !" force itself upon us in reading this demi-official address of the Holy Alliance to the Greeks. Brussels Papers to the 17th inst. reached us this forenoon. An article from Frankfort states, that Napoli di Romania surrendered to the Greeks on the Ist ult. The Turkish garrison marched out, and laid down their arms, and the terms of the capitulation have been strictly observed. Several distressed Greeks had arrived at Frankfort from Russia, and a Turkish merchant of the name of SOLINIAN, who was formerly iStandard-bearer to NAPOLEON'S Mamelukes, set a !subscription on foot for their relief, to which he con tributed a large sum. The King of the NaritiaLANos has given 10,000 francs, ft om his privy purse, to the poor of Brussels. A singular circumstance, which has excited great sensation, has just taken place at Cassel, the capital of Hesse. Several inhabitants of that City had fur nished large sums for the erection of extensive Bar- I racks, during the reign of J EROME, Ex-Kin g of West phalia. The old Elector, on his return to his dominions, declared the claim of those creditors to be null and void. The Spanish Manifesto, in answer to'the Allied Powers, reached Paris on Saturday. It is what we expected, firm but temperate, and refutes the false assertions and assumptions in the. Notes of the Allied Powerst at the same time that it denies the right of foreign interference with its affairs. 1 BRIGHTON; JANUARY 19. His MATll3rf continues in a progressive state of amendment. He has not - yet left hti private qpirt ments, but hasAined out of his bed•rom for the last three day!. The account at the Palace' this morning is, that I his MAJESTY has passed an excellent night, and is much better.

SEYMOUR there, with ettra dispatChes fcr his Lordship, who had left town previously on a Foreign Mission. Saturday Mr.DA*IELS, the Ktrco's messenger, left town with dispatches from the Foreign Office, for l'aris.

The Hawk, APLza, had sailed for this Port 14 days previous.— Spoke on thellth inst. 35 leagues W. of Tory, the Marath on, Bor n, of and from Belfast for Jamaica, nut three days, wind S.S. W. The day previous they had supplied with provisions the Camillus, from Quebec for Liverpool, she had been beating about the North Channel since 25th ult. On the 13th inst. off Malinhead, spoke the Castle Conte, Revenue cruizer, cruizing for a ship from Quebec for London, which had been spoke the day before by a preventive boat, with four feet water in her hold, and the head of rudder broken off; spoke yesterday, the Martha, Kturtrznr, from St. John's, N. B. for Troon, for orders, ail well. • Tuesday night, as two men were in a boat in the west bay, at Christchurch, rowing a raft of tubs from a smuggling cutter to wards the shore, the boat upset, and they both perished. The appearance of the River this morning at London-bridge, at the ebbing of the tide, was truly terrific, from the quantity of ice floating down. At halfpast nine, two coal-barges in endea vouring to shoot the centre arch, were, by the rapidity of the current, prevented—one was drove half through one of the small arches, the other on the starlings—they had each two men on board, and are likely to remain in their perilous situa tion till the Rowing of the tide. Some humane persons from the bridge lowered down some provisions by means of a rope, for which the poor fellows seemed very thankful. Sunday sennight, Mr. FARM, ironmonger, in Kendall, ac companied by his two brothers, went to dine with their parents, who reside near the reservoir. After dinner, the three brothers amused thentselees by skalting on that large body of water by whidh the canal is supplied; but the ice not being sufficiently strong, the two younger brothers unfortunately fell in. blr. Nazis plunged after them repeatedly, but could not succeed in raising them; they sunk in each others arms and perished. DREADFUL FIRE, NEAR THE ELEPHANT AND CASTLE.—About three o'clock yesterday morning an alarming fire broke out in the house of Mr. Moss, a cheesemonger, immediately at the back of the Elephant and Castle, in tLe Walwolth toad, %%hid), in a very short time, communicated to the next house ( a corner one) occupied by Mr. Clapp, a con fectioner and pastry-cook ; and, shortly afterwards, from Mr. Clapp's house, the destructive element found its way to the house of Mr. Callaway, .a , fruiterer, in the entrance of the Kent-road. • At the hour mentioned .it may be supposed that the families inhabiting the houses described were fast asleep, and that, therefore, no immediate alarm could be given whence the fire originated ; and the three houses were on fire at the same time, without the inhabitants knowing their perilous situation. The fire-engines belonging to the different Offices, and from almost all parts of the town, were as soon as possible on the spot, and the firemen, as is always. their custom, were most prompt and active on their duty; but not - - withstanding a good supply of water, considering the intense frost, no part of the premises mentioned could be preserved. The houses are-now in complete ruins. The different families had the most narrow escape for their lives; and it is painful to add, that some of them were severely hurt in the attempt to save themselves. Little or no .property has been saved, and nothing In proportion to the loss has been insured. The whole of what has .been preserved is in the Rockingham Arms, under the cnrnnt *And lord and the unfortunate sufferers. ~. ; EXECIIIION. -This morning the awful sentence of death was cat lied into effect at the top - of Horsemortger-lane Jail t upon Giles Last; aged . l7; for criminally abusing girl under nine years of age.

At nine o'clock the tolling of the prison bell announced that all WAS ready, and the wretched culprit was conducted to the scaffold by the Under Sheriffi, Mr. WALTERS (the jailer), the Chaplain, and attendants. the platform he addressed a few inarticulate words to the assembled crowd, who seemed greatly affected at his inel.nch9ly fate. In a few minutes t the awful preparations being completed, the drop fella and this world closed on ham for ever. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. lIUN'fING.

Five and twenty pound: • to five have been laid and taken, that the three Bristoltden win WOODCOCKS. • During half a century last past there has not been known such an abundance of woodcocks as at present. Early in the week, as Mr. Chatfield, of Wtck, was hunting a hedge-rows on a farm of his own, at Horton, with a solitary pointer, in less than half an hour he flashed no lesi a number than twelVe woodcocks, nine of which, in as many shots, he bagged. It is the opinion of many persous,that when such birds visit us in unusual abund ance, it foretells a long anti rigid winter; and present appear ances are in no wise at variance with the predictive spirit of that remark. PIGF.ON A match took place at Worthing, on Monday last, between Mr. B. Wicks, of that town, and Mr. G. Faulkner, of Todior too, near Liulehantpton, to shoot at 20 Pigeosis, 18 yards from the trap, for live guineas, when Mr. F. killed 16' birds out of 18; and Mr. W. only 12 out of that number. The other four pigeons were not shot at. COCKING. The cockers of Sussex and Hampshire had two grand days' play at Chichester on Monday and Tuesday last.

Tor Szarorrorz MI/ea.—The frost on Saturday night .,, was so intense, that it covered every part of the Serpentine River yes terday with ice. On that part of the north aide which was the preceding day • running stream, the best skaiters were assembled. —Not*ithstanding the severity of the cold during the day, there were a number of carriages in the drive ; and on the ice there were several fashionable grouper. In the course of tke morning there was so heavy a haze or Gag, that for some hours it was ins possible to distinguish objects even at a few yards distance. The town vas yesterday enveloped in so dense a fog, that it was necessary to light candles in several churches during Divine Service. It was a sort of floating fog, As at times the atmosphere appeared partially clear, and suddenly would become dark and murky. The wind was due east. We are glad to find that the long-established Cook and Confectioner's, 93, Oxford-street (Mr. Malta's) is about to extend its Accommodations, by uniting to the concern, in the adjoining Premises, a CHOP and EATING House, of a superior and approved descrip tion.
