According ' l e the c apitulations, the lila of the insurgent Guards wer e T ared; but a royal order, dated the 21st of 1 ,,,,u6t, was afterwards published, which excepted the leaders of the revolt, on the ground that the oritulatims had been made without any authority N‘',.o..'ver. The Committee reported in favour of the ,• T omises given by P - ALA REA and PLACRS7IIA. After ,4 debate of considerable length, the opinion of the •otrittee was adopted. "1 - 1;e Espectador mentions the receipt of a letter n o n, a Correspondent in Italy, on the breaking up 11-.0 asfembly of Sovereigns at . Verona, in which wri:cr says, " the Congress bas dissolved with- pretending to notice the affairs of Spain." The refusal to receive the Spanish Ambassador, \ ., !I.ANUEVA, at Rome, has been attributed to the ..,,-;agues of the Regency of Urgel ; but the Espedador to think it is owing to the influence of the ( - A , inet of Vienna. The age of the Pore senders it -,,;,able that anew election willsoon take place, and ;, wished to raise the Archduke RODOLPH of to the Papal chair. But .it is stated by .the Tyvta./or, that the Spanish Ambassador has the setting aside one of the candidates: hence it is thongllt desirable that there should be no Spanish mi n ister at the Court of Rome, at a time when he r 'ght be lik?ly to have an opportunity of exercising tnis important privilege. nidav, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held t e Foreign Office, Downing-street, which was at t::: 2.1 by the LORD (CHANCELLOR, the Earl of Li- Visionnt MELVILLE, the CHANCELLOR of f I.XCIIEQUER, Mr. CANNING, Mr. ROBINSON, &c.

The Duke of WELLINGTON and M. CHATILAUBRIAND hold c onferences together daily. A Paris Paper of Thursday announces that the Duke of WELLINGTON was to dine on the following car with M. the Baron ROTHSCHILD, and leave Paris ior London the nett day.

Extract of a letter from a private soldier in the st Regiment to his friend in Glasgow, dated For t Augusta, Jamaica, 22d October, 1822:--" We have been unfortunate with regard to sickness since we landed, having lost one Captain, two Lieutenants, one Assistant Surgeon, our Quarter-master Serjeant, six Setjearits, and about 112 men, six women, and eleven children. However, since the end of May the sickness his abated, and we have continued very I. , .:althy since. This is what they call the hurricane ::tsnn, although in this part we have experienced Lothing of the kind as yet; hot since we have been ;r. this fort there was a slight shock of an earthquake ir.lt in Kingston." 'fire accounts from Ireland represent Queen's County as in a very disturbed state. There is seldom a night in which some house is not robbed, or a r:naity of hay and corn destroyed. Young ash for the purpose of making pike-handles, have been cut in largo quantities. Several persons' ...lave been arrested on various ch ar g es.

The Starling, DOUGLAS, was lost near Constantinople during a gale, the lst ult. Crew saved. Two Imperial vessels were lost at the same time. On the 6th instant, the schooner Salmon, Captain Arrcotson, of the port of Ann tin, sailed from thence for Liverpool, with a cargo of potatoes, and when near St. Bee's Head, was struck by a heavy sea, and immediately went to the bottom with all hands, consisting of the Master, WALTER JOHNSTONE, of Kelhead, Mate, and a Swede. They have all left wives and families. Monday, seven Mateiand Midshipmen passed their examina tions for Lieutenants at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth.

Wednesday, Admiral Sir HENRY Flt.acxwoon ar rived at Portsmouth in the LEANDER, of 50 guns, having been relieved in the command in the East In dies by Commodore GRANT, who arrived at Trinco malee, in the LIFFEY, on the Bth of December. Cap tain HARMER came from the Cape of Good Hope in the command of the LEANDER, in consequence of : Captain RICHARDSON being landed there in very ill health. Lieutenant HAMILTON, of the LEANDER, was promoted to command the HERON, in the room of Captain HANKER. The crew of the LEANDER were afflicted with scurvy, but by obtaining large supplies of vegetables and fresh beef at Symon s town they were soon restored to health. The LEANDER sailed from Trincomalee on the 21st of August, the Cape of Good Hope the 20th of Oc tober, and St. Helena on the Ist ultimo. All the ships composing the Indian squadron were left at Trincomalee, viz. the LIFFEY, GLASGOW, TEES, DAUNTLESS, SOPHIE, CURLEW, and SATELLITE.— Tile GLASGOW was under way for the river Hoogly, to take on board the Marquis of HASTINGS. It was uncertain whether he would proceed to England or the Mediterranean, thence to pursue his course to Vienna, at which Court he is to succeed the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. the present Amba , aador. The LIFFEY was to sail in about a fortnight for Madras, and thence to Cochin, to launch and fit out, for a passage to England, the new ship TERMAGANT; Cap tain DUNLOP, and the Officers and crew of the CUR LEW, were to be turned over to her. The MADAGASCAR, 46, is to be launched at Bom bay in January. Captain GAMBIER and the Officers and crew of the DAUNTLESS, are to be turned over to her for passage to England. The TEES was about to sail for Penang, the So- PHIE to the Persian Gulf, the SATELLITE, for New South Wales. The ships were all healthy. The LEANDER was put under quarantine shortly after her arrival, from having boarded the French ship la Theresa, from Marseilles, in lat. 20. 41. N. long. 30. 26. NV. She was released on Wednesday, and Sir H. BLACKWOOD struck his flag on Wednes day night; she is come into harbour to be paid off. The passengers by her were—Captain R. G•RE, R.N. Captain G. BAKER, R.N. Lieutenant CROCKER, Mr. GARROW, Accomptant-General of Madras, and Mr. TWISTLETON, from Colombo. The naval establishment at the Dock-yard at Trin comalee has been broken up. The Officers and some of the artificers came home in the LEANDER; as did also Captain ROBERT GORE, late of the SATELLITE, and Lieutenant MAIER' . CROKER, of the same ship, invalided. Lieutenant DUNLOP, late of the GLAS GOW, had been promoted, and appointed to the com mand of the TERMAGANT, a new 28 gun ship, which was fitting out to proceed to England, and was ex pected to sail about October. Lieutenant M.J. CUR• RIE had been promoted, and appointed to the SATEL LITE, vice Captain GORE. Mr. GRANT, Midshipman of the LIFFEY, had been appointed Lieutenant of the SATELLITE, in the room of Lieutenant CROKER. The HERON, 18 gun sloop, was at the Cape of Good Hope. HASTINGS, —Thursday se'nnight, this coast was visited, for a favr hours, with a very strong gale, during which one side of a new building in NVel lington -place was blown down. Several feet of a wall, nine feet high, which surrounds the Pelham mews, was levelled with the ground, and panes of glass in all directions were smashed by the blast ; in one sash no less than six panes were blown in, and it was with difficulty that the children, who were in the bed-room, were rescued from their perilous situa tion. During the same gale a Dutch vessel foundered near Dymchurch, and the whole of the crew perished. The calendar at Maidstone contains a catalogue of upwards of a hundred prisoners, many of whom are, charged with capital offences. Amongst the latter is the case of a man named Robert Hartley, who stands indicted under Lord Elienborough's Act, for mali ciously stabbing Captain Owen, of the Bellerophon convict ship, at Sheerness, on the 29th of August, where the prisoner was confined as a transport, after having been convicted of a capital offence. He bad obtained a commutation of the punishment of death to that of transportation for life, under pretence of giving some important information. respecting the murder of the Lite Mrs. Dpnatty. THE PORTSMOUTH CASE. • , The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the Earl of PORTS smiles case, having sent the matter to an issue, many of our Readers may not know what will be the precise result of such a direction. The question of Lord PORTSMOUTH'S sanity having been directed to, ' be tried, the next step to be taken will be the appoint ing certain Commissioners, before whom the issue will be tried, and the proceedings regulated. Who those Ccmmissionesa will be we are not able to anticipate; but, doubtless, they will be Gentlemen of high pro. fessional knowledge. A precept will then be directed to the Sheriff, commanding him to empannel a Jury for the trial of the issue. The Sheriff will return a' sufficient number of Jurymen, and then a day will be fixed for the trial. The Jury will assemble in such place as may be deemed most convenient, and in the meantime subpcenas, adapted to the nature of - the proceeding, will be issued, for the purpose of com pelling the attendance of the witnesses. The case will then be attended by Counsel on both sides. An open ing speech will be made on the part of those who de.ire to have the Commission taken out, and he will then proceed to the regular examination of his wit nesses, who will be cross-examined by the Counsel for those who oppose the Commission. In short, the whole will assume the form of an ordinary trial at law, and be conducted much in the same way, with the exception that the Commissioners will be the Judges, &c. and, as we apprehend, the discussion will not be public. The ulterior consequences to the par ties must depend wholly upon the result of the deli berations of the Jury. Should they pronounce in favour of his Lordship's sanity generally, there will be an end of the question ; the acts of his Lordship will be the subject of legal sanction, and will be upheld and maintained by the law, the same as the acts of any other: man. Should he be found in sane, it will then, among others, be a question first, with the Jury, how long he had been so? When the fatuity commenced ? And whether it has con tinued with or without lucid intervals? Upon these matters will depend the further directions of the LORD CHANCELLOR. DRURY-LANE THenTne.—Saturlay night, Mr, KEAN performed Hamlet, for the first time this sea• son, to a crowded and elegant audience. His per. formance was marked with great power, and the deep pathos of his lover tones gave toll effect to the philosophic melancholy of the character. COVENT-GARDEN.—Maid Marian continues to be acted with unabated success. The acting and sing ing of Miss M. TREE have never been strewn to greater advantage. Much of the popularity of this Opera, however, in addition to its interesting story, arises from the admirable acting of Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE, in Friar Tusk ; there is a rich and mellow merriment in his personation of the jolly friar, which we did not previously conceive Mr. kesme could have assumed. ADELPHL—Tom and Jerry attracted as crowded an audience as ever on Saturday evening. POLITICAL PUNS.—Among the many expedients resorted to by the depressed party in a State to in dulge their sentiments safely, and probably, at the same time, according to situation, to sound those of their companions, puns and other quibbles have been of notable service. The following is worthy of no tice :—The Cavaliers, during Cromwell's usurpation, usually put a crumb of bread into a glass of wine, and before they drank it would exclaim with cau tious ambiguity, " GOD send this Crum well down !" A Royalist Divine, also, during the Protectorate, did not scruple to quibble in the following prayer, which he was accustomed to deliver 0 LORD, who host put a sword into the hand of thy servant Oliver, put it into his heart ALSO—to do according to thy word." He would drop his voice at the word also, and aftey a significant pause, repeat the concluding sentence in an under tone. When FERDINAND returned to Spain he gave to each of the religious orders of Spain four titles of Nobility, with authority to sell them. In this way Mossa ROSALIA, a lawyer, purchased for 50,000 francs, the title of Marquis, and became Marquis of Mata-Florida. In his flight, as President of the Urgel Regency, he is said to have been entered in the Post Office Register by a much higher title—the Consti tutionnel says, " a title so elevated that we cannot venture to copy it." It appears by letters from Paris, that the Marquis had called himself King of Spain I Drinking of healths was customary amongst the Roman gallants, who used to take off as malty glasses to their mistresses, as there were letters in their names, according to Martial, who says— Nista sex cyathis, septem Justina bibatur. Now let Six cups to Nzvia's health go round, And fair Justina's be with Seven crown'd. • Hence, perhaps, arose our custom of drinking healths or toasts, a ceremony which Ps ynne, in his " Healthe's Sicknesse," inveighs against with all the madness of enthusiastic fury. This extraordinary man concludes his " Address to the Christian Reader" thus :—" The unfained well-wisher of thy spiritual and corporal, though the appugner of thy poeular and pot-empty ing health." New MARRIAGE ACT.—Another instance of the universal dislike in which this most unpopular Act is held, occured at Feliskirk church, in Yorkshire, two or three Sundays.ago. When the Minister began to read this obnoxious document, the congregation evinced strong signs of uneasiness; still, however, he proceeded. At last a venerable village sire seemed to have lost all patience, and hastily rising, ex claimed—" Come, come, Mr. , give us some th:r.g else; we've had enough of it." This unex pected interruption, though so congenial with the thoughts of the assembly, caused a burst of laughter, which continued to display, itself in many a half-sup pressed titter, even unto the end of the chapter. • The Assizes for Essex finished on Saturday at Chelmsford. No case of general interest occurred. Sentence of death was passed upon seven unfortunate convicts, but none were left for execution, except one —namely, Benjamin Cooper, convicted of breaking and entering the dwelling-house of a widow Lady at Thasttd, during the time of Divine Service, on the 4th of September, and stealing money to the amount of £l7O. No hopes of mercy were held out to him. The Grand Jury found true bills against Mr. Caw thorn,. the late keeper of the House of Correction at Chelmsford, his wife, and one of the turnkeys, for cruelty to prisoners, and for defrauding the County of nno . ney which came to the hands of the defendant. These prosecutions went off to the next Assizes. SPORTING. INTELLIGENCA . • . . BOXRRS. Tow Drumm—lli consequence of the treatment he reedy*, in seconding Shelton on Tuesday last, he has since mattes pair JAs declaration to all his friends, that he will not appear again.ii •. the Prise Ring in the capacity of a Second; having made up Ms illui nd that, in future, he will be nothing , more than a spectator. Shelton, on Friday evening, made his bast to the DIY C tab, at the Castle Tavern, Holborn ; and in the snuggery, foto-re ceived the 2100 stakes, as the reward of his victory. In addi tion to which, we believe we have to record an unprecedented circumstance, from one dghtkli man to another: 'rem Weber . made Shelton a present of 20 sovereigns, for his honest and • brave conduct in the fight. , - . Graxers.—This hero of the fist can he backed against Abbott for 50 or 2100 a-side: or any other pugilist of his weight. Gyb letts is an EasPender, and nothing else but a good lad. He de feated Sampson, and also Rasher, in great style. Ges.—lmiloodiately after the ght between Hudson and Shel ton. Hickman declared that be was sorry, on his own account, that Hudson had lost the battle, iebeing the intention of the friends of Josh, in the event of his having proved the victor, to have backed him against Hickman, for 2500 a-side ; and be . laughingly observed, " 0, my nig, if I shouldn't like it vastly I" It is rather a curious coincidence, that on that day twelvemonth a report reached Loudon that lhcfmao was dead, in conse. quence of the severe blows he received in his battle with Neate. It perhaps may also be necessary to state, that Hickman had been thrown out of single horse chaises several times, owing to his furious mode of driving. On being picked up a few months since, nearly killed, he then bitterly exclaimed against the use of such vehicles, and in the beat of his px.sion, wished that if he ever rude in one again he might have his brains knocked out. His wish, too lamentably for his unhappy wife and two small children, has been verified. His remains are to be interred on Thursday, when most of his brother-pugilists will follow him to the grave. A benefit at the Fives -court, for his widow and fa mily, is talked of. . HUNTING.

Saturday se'nnight, the Winter Prize Medal, given by the Thistle Gulf Club, VIJi played fur in Leith Links, and gained by GEORGE LonaN, Esq. W. S. PEDESTRIANISM. The celebrated pedestrian, Russet!, has arrived in Glasgow, for the purpose of walking a match against time, on which great bets are pending. The distance is 1O miles in 24 hours. LITHOORAPIIIC FORGERlES.—Forgeries to a consi derable extent have recently been committed on two wholesale houses in %Vatling-street and Cateaton street, by means of lithographic fac similes. It ap pears that goods were sold to the firms in question in the Manchester line, to the amount, in one instance, of 9001. and in the other to nearly 5001. Their ac ceptances were taken in the usual course; those ac ceptances were subsequently taken off by means of the lithographic press, and afterwards impressed on new bills which were drawn. The new bills were discounted without hesitation by the houses of GLYN and Co. and BARCLAY and Co. and the fraud was not discovered till the offenders had absconded. It is supposed they are gone to America. The total amount of the frauds discovered is about 1,0001. — Observer. Bow-Srarvr.—Saturday the landlord of the Blue Posts, ft"- pert-street, Haymarket, was charged by a common informer with suffering some persons to drink in his house on the pre ceding Sunday, during Divine Service, it being half past four in the afternoon. The landlord, however, proved that the Service at St. Ann's Church was over at a quarter past four; and, more over, that the only persons in his house were his own family, who bad been to Church, and were taking. an early tea. The Magi strate immediately dismissed the information, and. the informer slunk out of the Office. --- - CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, DEC. 16. The arrivals of last week were again extremely large, and the fresh supplies of this morning from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk are tolerably good. Prime samples of Wheat obtained rather more money in the early part of the morning, but the trade after wards became dull for all sorts at the sante prices as last quoted. Barley does not sell so Freely as of late, and the prices are rather lower. Good dry Beans fully , maintain their value, but other kinds are very dull sale, and rather cheaper. Barley and Grey Peas remain unaltered front last Monday's prices. The large supply of Oats has caused much dullness in this trade, and ex eept for the primeot parcels, last week's prices cannot be ob tained. Flour remains unaltered. ..,~ , t PRICES ON B. , ARD OP SHIP.
