The above Council related to the pricking of Sheriffs, &c. Yesterday morning, several of the Cabinet Ministers left town for Brighton, to attend the King in Council. The Spanish Minister transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office, Downing Street, for a consider. able time. There is no foundation for the reports of fresh changes in the Administration which were circulated yesterday in the City.—( 41inisterialpaper.) T he Duke of York is improving i n his health. The answer to the inquiries yesteiday was his Royal High netts is going on very well.—(Court Circular.) Mr. Vansittart was considerably better yesterday, the fever having left him, he was enabled to sit up great part of the day. Prince Leopold came to town yesterday, [from Clare • mont, on a visit to the Duke of York, and remained some time with his Royal relative; he afterwards went to his London residence, and from thence to Kensing ton, to dine with his sister, the Duchess of Kent. • The French have at this times very valuable commerce, • and an immense property at sea! Many privateers are fitting oat by Spanish merchants, under the Spanish flag, and letters of marque have been applied for. The Spanish Ambassador will, it is understood, grant them as soon as a declaration of war is known, and the French commerce will be swept away from the ocean. • . Private letters received yesterday from Paris , and / , dated January 29, say :—" The Funds, which were ex • `lf cted to continue falling, have had a great and sudden . . . se—of course, there are abundant rumours as to the • canre—one is, that dispatches have been received from Mail raisore favourable than was expected—that the British Minister at Madrid has prevailed upon the Spa nish Government to adopt more moderate councils, &a. ism. Such are the rumours, and I send them as rumours. " PARIS. JAN. 29.—Stocks have risen. and no troops have yet left Paris. The Grenadier Horse Guards that were ordered to the frontiers, have been countermanded. It is said that the French Government have received as surances, that a strict neutrality will be preserved by Great Britain."—(Courier.) A Gentleman has arrived from Havre, who left that place the day before yesterday. He had resided there for some.years. Amongst the Merchants, Traders, and the Manufacturing classes, the conduct of the French Ministers had created the utmost indignation. Since the year 1815, they have gradually been increasing their mercantile pursuits, when sudilecly, by the com mand of the Holy Alliance, they find their prosperity -.blasted, and their property tasken from them in the share of insurance premiums against capture by the skips of the Peninsula, rendered their enemies from no Other cause than the iniquitous desire to restore to the - inhabitants despotism, and to restrain the gradual ad ''l V4llCe of the human mind in the useful sciences and arts. t No doubt can be entertained that the s a m e s p irit exists i • 4 • wherever oominerce has been pouring her beneficent Ise , teenceon the people. The Courier yesterd a y evenin g '' ' Oporto, by a private letter from Paris, that the rent. of, . ' Wend regiments, destined to reinforce the army of ob servation, bad been altered, if this intelligence has • any fonadation, the change has taken place not from any alteration in the policy which has been so shame ' fully observed towards the Spanish nation, but because • the spirit of freedom will burst out in France herself, unless restrained by military power. The Altstrian Observer, of the 18th inst. contains a • long article from Constantinople, dated the 24th Dec. is hich states, that since the death of Haleb Effendi, the Janissaries have been very quiet. The Turks are very busy in equipping nee ships of war, finding that their • large vessels can do nothing against the Greeks. The ' Captain Paella is therefore resolved, it is said, to employ in:future only corvettes, brigs and other small and lighter vessels,under the care of chosen seamen. The Greeks are said to be preparing, at !pure, a great expedition, destined to attempt a lauding in one of the islands of the Archipelago ; it is generally thought Scio, though some name hletelin or Tcnedos as the most likely to be visited. The Greeks have, for some time past, had a considerable number of small vessels in the harbour of Smyrna, and threaten that city. Regiments of Janissaries are to march to the Persian frontier. The cholera morbus is making great ravages in Asia, and penetrated to Syria, 41-• so that the inhabitants of the ruins of Aleppo have been forced to quit their last asylum. A merchant ship has arrived in the river from Lisbon, which sailed on the 22d current. The packet left the l'agns on the same day, but was obliged to put back. Ay this conveyance intelligence has been received that (• the troops, which bad been embarked for the Braitils, would not permit the transports to get under weigh when • the convoy frigate made the signal for sailing, but be came extremely impatient to he re-landed. 'fhe Captain states that many Fiench officers had arrived at Lisbon, , who bad quitted theAreench army in disgust, and who were soliciting to be admitted into the service of Per ! tugal. 1 - Yesterday, being settling day for the transactions in foreign securities, a very great sentation was proceeded, 'among the persons engagaed io them by the announce meat of a d 'miller of the first consequence, whose ex tensive resources were previously supposed to have placed bins beyond the apprehension of such a reverse. fhe name of this gerilleman is Mr. Daniel Moiatta, ana it is no -more than justice to say, that the previous knowledge of and estimation for his character caused the most lively synepathy to be every where expressed for his mi: fortunc It has been ceased. no doubt, by a sconfidence in his own judgment that the peace of the Continent would ha maintained, and which was so strong as to induce lam to risk his very large property on the issue.

There is an unusual bustle and anxiety in the workshops and warehouses of those con nected with the gun trade. It is said, that already agents ' from Spain have arrived to make large purchases io " guns, trumpets, and a'," which are required for the service of armies.

St ought not to intrude upon your time, and should not do so, had it not been for the report of the York meet ing, as appearing in the Old Times and Daniel Stewart's Paper. In the speech made by Sir Francis Wood, that part of it where he thought proper to condemn the meeting at Norfolk, the papers before named, have in a parenthesis, embodied a sentiment connected with Mr. Cobbett, as eomingfrom the people, which is as untrue as falsehood could have rendered it, for the very reverse was the fact. No sooner had Sir F. W. referred to the Norfolk Meeting, than he was hailed with " that's the thing we rant, Cobbett's "petition." This is what really took place, and if what the Old Times and the Courier say be true, how is it, that RAINES. by whom I was standing, has not given a similar report In the Leeds Mercury. From the conversation I had with various people, (the chief of whom were farmers), be fore and after the York meeting, their conversation inva riably turned upon the Norfolk Petition, which in their opinion, seemed to contain the only measures, that were likely to give them, and the country at large, relief. After the meeting was over, I renewed my conversation with all to whom I could conveniently address myself, and such as conversed with (and they were not a few) approved of the unanimity of the meeting, but lamented that more strong Resolutions were not proposed. I then asked whether Mr. COBBETT'S propositions, would have satisfied them and they answered in the affirmative. 1 am, Sir, your's, R. R. Our correspondent has our thanks; but, we wanted no thing to convince us, that the Norfolk Petition is approved of by the Yeomen in Yorkshire; and as to the things called " reports" in the paper of "the Reverend Doctor Brodie.

However, as they only injure their readers, they only injure those who de :erre to be injured. We have foretold many events with great exactness; but, never were we more confident of any thing, titan we are of the fall of this infamous trading con cern, within a few months. There are.perhaps, forty part mere 113 this vehicle of foolishness and lies; but, Anna Bro die, and the Rey. Doctor, her husband, stand amongst the Meade of the Donee ! One CARDEN, of Bedford-square, and his toffe, stand also amongst the bead partners. We will drag out the whole crew in due time. MESSRS. COBBETT AND ATTWOOD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATISSIAN. Sin —The two gentlemen whose names are above written stand pre-eminent in their knowledge of the subject of the currency. it is not likely that any other man in the kingdom, understands that subject sa well as they do, as the very circumstance of their having written so much upon it must have made them more fa. miliar with every part of it, than those persons con he who have never been in the practice of expressing their thoughts in writing. They both agree as to the CAUSE of low prices. They admit the same principle. They have taken the pains to illustrate the same principle by innumerable examples, which serve to show the truth of it, and to make it to be understood by common capacities. They have both exhibited the subject in various points of view;—have analysed and dissected it, have entered into calculations respecting it ; —and hare always ex• ressed themselves in language which indicates similar feelings of indignation and abhorrence. But although these two public writamagros as t 4 elto cause of the present distresses—they differ essentlallyta to the RtliteT.-11 I understand the matter at all, Mr. Cohbett on the subject of remedy, has shown superiority of judgment. The difference between them may 1 think be stated in a few words. Mr. Cohbett says:-1. That Peel's Bill is the cause of the present low prices, and 2d. That the remedy for the distresses of the country lies in an equitable adjustment of all Debts, or money contracts both public and private; and, in order to make the ati jastment equitable,it is necessary to look at money as the representative of commodities; to look at it in its caps. city of purchasing; (and not to look at its merely nomi nal amount ;) and then to look at the different periods in which Debts were contracted, and what was the pur chasing capacity of money at those respective periods. By means of these rules and considerations an equitable adjustment may be accomplished, and the nation speedily restored to happiness and prosperity. Where is the man who can honestly object to an equitable adjustment of any thing? The very words of the proposition are its best recommendation. If the adjustment is not to be equitable, what is it to be ? Is it to be inequitable??— 'I lien that would be to let things remain as they now are. How stupid then must be the conduct of those who oppose that part of the Norfolk Petition, which prays for an equitable adjustment of money contracts, public and private. But now as to Mr. Attwood. His remedy is to alter the value of the currency. I think it is to make six shillings and eight pence to be coined into a pound ster ling. But I beg leave to ask Mr. Attwood whether his proposition does not involve great injmitice I In the first place it is calling upon, and allowing, the Govern ment of the country to do that which they have not, and never had,any right to do. For as noGovernment can have the right of doing an act of injustice, so no government can have the right of altering the value of the established currency, —for no alteration can ever be effected without injustice. Suppose the proposed alteration to be effect ed? Where is the end to it ? This time next year, the Government alter again, anti order ten or twelve or fif teen shillings to be coined into a pound sterling. Thus all contracts would be violated again and again, and injustice spread through the land.—lt cannot—it must not, be permitted. The Restriction Act has been the Cause of all our evils, and will Mr. Attwood recommend a measure of a similar nature aid tendency ? What confidence could men place in the Laws ? How could they enter into any money contracts of any description. when they felt a constant uncertainty and anxiety as to the future ? Such a state of society would be produced, as it would be miserable to exist in. In the next place, how would Mr. Attwood's propo sition operate upon all recent contracts ? Yesterday 1 burrowed a thousand sovereigns of my friend , which I agree to pay him back in a year's time. The Govern ment alter the value of money; 1 then get my thousand sovereigns coined into three thousand pounds sterling, then pay my friend one thousand, and keep two thou sand to myself. Then the increased quantity of money will perhaps double prices, which at once reduces the thousand pounds to 5001. while 1 am in possession of a large share of the original debt. By the same process all other recent contracts are violated. The yearly ser vant to whom I am to give 91. at the end of her service, is still to receive 91. but only half the quantity of commodities. Its effect upon commerce will be fatal, and thousands of manufacturers would be reduced to misery and starvation. The Ministers know the valise of Peel's Bill, as it respects our commerce.—And, lastly, there is no manner of necessity for this measure, because an equitable adjustment offers itself, which will do justice to all, and injustice to none. I hope Mr. Att wood will notice this part of the subject, as 1 think lie has said in some part of his writing, that his plan would not be productive of injustice to any one.—Tour's, Sic. Geo.

IRISH REVENUE.—We understand that the two Eng lish Commissioners, who are to preside at the New Boards of Customs and Excise, are expected here, from London. in the course of this week.—(Dublin Morning Post, Jan. 29.) Tag WEATHER IN IRELAND.—The passengers in the Southern coaches, approaching Dublin on Sunday morn ing, was much alarmed on learning when arrived at Naas, that the coaches from Dublin had not, as usual, passed by at the customary hour. Near Dubin, it be came necessary to call on extra aid to clear the roads. The Mail from Limerick arrived in Dawson Street, at nine o'clock on Sunday morning. The mail due at 6 o'clock did not arrive till twelve. The snow had been upwards of three feet on various parts of the road. At six yesterday evening, three inland snsils were due at the General Poet Office. A thaw continned to create much inconvenience in the streets, and several, though trifling accidents, resulted from the manner in which the snow was thrown from the roofs of houses.—(Dala lin B.

Bearaar Man RODRERY.—Mr. Farrell, Chief Peace officer at the head police office, yesterday . apprehended a man named ()orally, on suspicion of being concerned in the Belfast Mail Coach Robbery.

The United States Schooner, Shark, Lieutenant Perry, sailed from Kingston in company with the Delight, and gave convoy to her and the Bri tish ships, Jane, 111•Clee, and John Esdale, King for London. Having seen them clear off Cape Antonio, she parted with Warn on the 24th of Norfollc. It cer tainly is a new era in naval history, when our vessels of war afford protection to British merchantmen bound from English colonies to the mother country. May the act be reciprocal, and the obligation perpetual. " HAVANNAII, Nov. 29.—The British Government has seen here a division of one frigate, a brig, and a clatter, to cruise against the pirates, on the coast, and tHey have already commenced their operations, in which they will be supported also by this government. They are expecting twelve shcooners of light draught of water, for that purpose, and we hope that this force. combined with the American cruisers, will soon clear our coast of those robbers." Tee DECCAN PRIZE Cause.—The judgment of the Lords of the Treasury, in this most important cause, has been postponed, in consequence of the indisposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. As soon as that Right lion. Gentleman is sufficiently recovered, sa as to be able to attend the Board, it is now understood that their Lordships will decide this case, which is so deeply interesting to the parties concerned. The Hereford county meeting, which was to have taken place this day, on the subject of parliamentary reform, is abandoned. Lord Somers having declined signing the requisition. A meeting of the County of Cambridge will be held on the 14th instant, in pursuance of a req iisition signed by upwards of 1000 Freeholders, for the purpose of taking into consideration the State of the Nation, and the most effectual means of obtaining a redress of Oievances, l and restoring to the people their right of being fully represented in Parliament. Thursday a meeting of the inhabitants of Lincoln was convened by the worshipful the mayor at the Guild hall, at 12 o'clock, for the purpose of petitioning Par- Bement against the Insolvent Debtors' Act. The meet ing was numerous; and, after mature consideration of the subject, it was unanimously determined to present petitions to both Houses of Parliament expressive of a desire for repeal of the said act; and it was also deter mined that the petitions do lie at the Guildhall, for sig natures, until the Ist of Feb. A meeting similar to the above was held at Gainshe rough on Wednesday ; Mr. John Tidd was called to the chr, and petitions against the Insolvent Debtors' Act were agreed to. A meeting of the merchants, bankers, traders, and others interested in the trade and commerce of Wisbech, was held at the town ball, on Tuesday last, W. Watson, Esq., the town bailiff, in the chair, when petitions were thaws up and agreed upon, to be presented to both Houses of Parliament, for the revision and amendment of the laws relating to Insolvent Debtors. A meeting was held at the Guildhall in Boston. on Tuesday, the Mayor (F. %Vheldale. Esq.) in the chair, to consider of the existing, laws for the relief of insolvent debtors, when it was resolved, that the insolvent acts had been productive of the most serious evils to the trade and commerce of that town, In common with the rest of the country, and that a petition to Parliament should be prepared and signed, praying the repeal of such acts.

DRURY LANE MUSICAL PERFORMANCES. -.OW" • • The first of the Annual Musical Performances usually. called Oratorios took plice on Thursday. They continue under the direction of Mr. Bochsa, and credit is certain ly dine to him for the spirit with which they ate con ducted. But there is room for improvement. The vocal corps is not so strong as it was last year, and Owe is an absolute deficiency in the ehorusses. We shall not, however, be too free of censure, because this is i kind of extraneous performance, unconnected with the regular ones in Lent. Mr. Bodin will no doubt render his se lections, as well as the style in which they ate performer', equal to those of last year; and then he will deserve every support. The first part was a selection from th e Messiah; a first tribute to the immortal supremacy of Handel. Braham, Mrs. Salmon, Miss M. Tree and bliss Ooodall, distinguished themselves in the moat favorite pieces. The second Act was formed of a selection from a net, Oratorio of Rossini's, entitled Cyrus at Babylon. Before we state our opinion of the effect which this Oratorio produced, it is but justice to the great master whose re• potation it affects, that we should make allowance for the circumstances under which it appears to have been brought oat. In the first place, the language (origin. ally Italian of course) has been translated into English. and added to this disadvantage, neither the orchestral nor the choral accompaniments displayed the confidence or the correctness which results from adequate practice. Upon the whole, therefore, it did not strike us as being worthy of the highest rank among the effusions of Ro, sini's genius. The music frequently dig • from the sacred and sublime character of oratorio to that imagir ative and brilliant style for which the composer is so ar dently admired. In fact, this is so much the case, that were it not for the majestic beauties of the " Moans is EGYPT," we should have inclined to the opinion whic4 many have have asserted, that Rossini could not :nu ceed in the awful and solemn characteristics which are required by subjects of such a nature. His Cyras at Babylon is far the Most part operatic ; yet there are some gems among the concerted pieces which are mark. ed by a splendour that could only emanate from the inspirations of genius. The t)vertnre is neither fertile in originalities, nor even particularly effective in repe titions. A Miscellaneous Act closed the performsnre , , and seat away one of the most crowded audiences that we have ever seen, With perfect satisfaction, _ .
