Aneniew, Nalitsch, Hermann, and Ranpach have been superseded from their functions for having during their Lecture de veloped opinions which have appeared dangerous. An inquiry is iustituted into this affair." Accounts from Madrid, dated Nov. 27, announce the receipt of intelligence relative to the treaty between O'Douoja and Iturbide and the establishment of Mex ican Independence. According to the French papers, this news produced a lively sensation. Among specu latious to which it gave rise, was a suspicion that a plot was formed for removing the Royal Family from Europe. Cadiz has been in an unsettled state fir saute time, in consequence of the appointment of the Baron d'Aotlilla to be Commandant-General, and the refusal of the people to receive him in that capacity ; the political Chief addressed a representation to the King which was unattended to; this silence raised the indignation of the inhabitants, who, however, were in some degree appeased, by a proclamation stating, that the political Chief had despatched another communication to the King. The King,on receiving this, sent a message to the Cortes, who thereupon promised to take the subject of complaint into consideration. It was said that the King hail cmisnited M. Martinez de la Rosa, the present President of the Cortes, on the choice of a new minis ity ; thitiM . 8 &terrines proposed Arena, Usoria, and 'NW ; id' trniii proposition -was agreeable to his rd . tjesty, and that it would obtain his royal sanction. 4 letter in the same paper adds, that the ministers ' have just sent a dispatch to the Escurial, tendering their resignations.. This was immediately communi cated to the club de la Fontana, where it was celebrated with enthusiasm. We rejoice to learn, that in all the in fested provinces of Spain the violence of the fever is on the decline. Although new eases still occur, yet the cumber of those who recover at last surpasses that of the deaths. Monaiclis seldom learn wisdom from experience.— Twenty-live years banishment from his native soil, it appears, has not been sufficient to instruct the BOUR BON. The charitable protection he received in this country bas not taught him the value of its liberal lhstitutions. The freedom of the press, though a free press in this country, sympathised in his wrongs and contributed to place him on the Throne of his ancestors, has been by him and his Ministers attacked at all points, submitted to an Ultra Censor ship, and indeed almost annihilated. Yet a projet of law is again introduced to the Chamber of Deputies, and with the obvious intention of imposing fresh shackles on that valuable privilege, and thereby de- stroying the few liberties remaining to Frenchmen. M. Delalot took orcasion, Ultra as he is, to speak as every 'Representative of the People should do. He told * bold and incontrovertible truths, and sheaved them off in their true colours. He told them, that they wished to stifle the voice of truth; put down public discus sion, and protect those under Royal favour. He said em phatically, that the Chamber would not remain passive, while Ministers attempted to break thebondsofoonfidence between the Ring and the people. This M. Delalot, while reprobating the conduct of the Bourbon Ministry proba bly felt his attention diverted to the great folks on this side the Channel. It appears that the French Cabinet is founded upon a model by no means palateable to public 'ten in this country. But there is a considerable difference in the situation of the two countries. French Ministers boast of a rich Exchequer, and ex pect a saving of 1,300,0001. sterling in the next year's taxes, whereas the Ministers of England continue a profligate coi s. of expenditure without ways and means to sup port it, except such as involve the country in farther difficulties. The hurdles' of the people of France are trivial, in comparison wit), the vast resources with which nature and industry have supplied them. They have overcome the impositions of foreign foes, and prudently avail themselves of those advantages which are is their power. A vessel arrived yesterday from Buenos Ayres, bringing letters to the 12th September, five days later Alan the advices previunsly received, but on inquiry. 4ive find they do not contain any particular news. .., . a t. r• IitkLAND. • . lt.

" Last night has added to the dreadful catalogue of assassinations which disgtaces this county. There is a Mr. Heywood, son4n-low to Colonel O'Dell, the late Member, who lives it Hollywood, within a few miles of this win; his house was attacked a short time since, and all his itms taken away. He was absent at the time, and on his return declared Wee his servants, that if he hid beeiv-at home he woold I have given up his arms only with his life.

A party, sprinted to execute this horrid sent ini* west last night to Hollywood House, broke into it', took oat the wretched man and shot him as if by sentence of a Court Martial. There is no escaping their vengeance for the man who is marked out a victim. We are in hoots that the Spe cial Commission, which sits in Limirack on the 14 th , will do some g ood. It is a nielanchtilk hope. There are twenty-four wretches to be tried. the If reater part of wbgin will probably be hanged 1 Three prisoners have been brought in here this morning; 1 have not beard for what crime." MINISTICRIAL ARRANGSMINTS.—By the Brithou Iteratd of this day. we learn that the 1/bar4onsa Wellesley had arrived on Tnesdarat the Pavilion; and left it yesterday morning; and by the Derby Mercury we ascertain that on Wednesday last, Mr. Canning stopped at Derby, on the road to the Marquess of Stafford's, at Trentham. These movements indicate pretty plainly how the affairs of the Cabinet are settled. It is nianifest, that whatever was the office of fered to the latter gentleman, or whatever the cause of his non-acceptance, he continues out of place. It is asserted. that notwithstanding certain personal objections to him in a certain quarter, which might have been insurmountable in reference to a place in the Cabinet, the highest situation in India, was pro posed to him. His acceptance of the offer it is said was expected as a matter of course ; and under this impression, it is reported that the King had written to the Marquess of Hastings, toting, among other rea sons for his recal, the wish of his Majesty to possess near his person some faithful friend in whom he could confide. We state the rumour as it is related ; but what the grounds of, it are we have not the means to ascertain. The Marquess Wellesley and Mr. Goulburn will set off for Ireland in a few days. Mi. Wilmot, we under stand, is to succeed Mr. Goalburn, as Under Secretary of State fur the Colonial Department. Mr. Clive retire from the Home Department, and Mr. Dawson. the ; bro ther-in-law of the Right Hon. R. Peel, is mentioned as his successor.—(Courier.) •It has been mentioned in several of the London Papers that the King is about to honour our county , vi.tk his presence, by visiting our noble Lord Lieute nant at Eastnor Castle. We apprehend that this st. ,ientent is incorrect or at least premature. But a co.. Itspondent assures us, that his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester is expected at Eastnor Castle in the resent week, and that nasty d&salogaiehed persons in this and the adjoining counties are invited to meet him.—(Hereford Journal.) The Right Hon. George Canning, M.P., with his Lady and daughter, passed through Derby this morn ing (Wednesday, sth instant) on their way to Tren tham, the seat of the Marquess of Stafford.—(Derby Mercury.) The Report of the return of the Marquess of Hast ings, which we copied yesterday from a Morning Paper, is said not to he entitled to credit. A letter written by the Noble Marquess. dated the 20th April last, states, that his Lordship and family were all well, and contains no allusion whatever to an intended re turn. Many of his Lordship's most intimate friends give not the slightest credit to the report. In two of the Morning Papers of yesterday it was gravely stated, in so many words, that " four hundred and seventy inches of rain fell in Exeter in November." What! more than thirty-seven feet perpendicular ? The distant friends of the Exonians must tremble for the safety of their relatives and acquaintance, when they learn the news. But let them be comforted ; there is nothing in the case to disquiet them, ex cept a trifling error of the press. The compositor who converted the figures into words was not ac quainted with the language of decimal fractions; bat translated 4,70 inches, into four hundred and seventy 'lnches, instead of four inches, and seventy hundredth parts! A letter has been received in the City, by a highly respectable mercantile house, dated Odessa, Nov. 6, stating, that on the 16th of December, the Russian authorities at that place would contract for 150,000 chests of Wheat and Flour, or 750,000 bushels. — This is in consequence of • scarcity reported in the Crimea. The export of Corn was also expected to be prohibited. A meeting of the Turkey Company took place on Thursday, when dispatches from Constantinople were laid before it. They reached London by way of Vi enna. They confirm the news of a war having broken out between the Turks and Persians, and of the latter having entered the dominions of the former. It appears that a Persian Prince commanded in person not less than 110,000 men. The most severe engage. ment took place in the immediate vicinity of Bagdad. Lady Cochrane was brought to bed, at seven o'clock yesterday morning, of a girl, which, with its Noble Mother, we are happy to find are as well as possible. The Princess Augusta, during her stay abroad, spent her time principally with the Queen of Wirtetnberg and the Princess of Hesse Homburg : with the former her Royal Highness stayed about six weeks. The Ptincess did not go to Hanover. r Amongst the applicantatipr relief at be Mendicity 10ffice yesterday was the brother in-law of Christophe, late Emperor of Hayti ! In consequence of the small number of women (only ten) permitted to go with the &teflon of Chards now es their way to Ireland, a number of applications are making, by their wives, for passes to their different parishes. -* Thell&I regiment, of which Co 4 is now tbe bead =ere, and which had lately rwsl4 orders to bold selves In readiness to embark hk - that Ma im. for , the West Indies, hare been countermanded. . ~~ .. , - ' ~, IVA TIII Siairiga.- -. 7 ...-- TO WITRNIA TIGHE.

M.P. ) iireer lite relation, the immortal Grattan, well said IrWbuidl 4 never received kindness film the Government fiiielailtreegh her fears , and that the conduct observed 'wattle **lrish people was, that at an ungracious step mother. These were bold trptbs that cannot be snook by the ephemeral assertion' of. any milk and water Irishman. Now you assert that the present disturbed state of Ireland is not at allVfributable to misgovern ment. Was the read of Earilitswilliatn and the Duke of &Mord from the Governiffent of Ireland. not owing to their beteg too great favourites in that unfortunate conetry, and did not their predecessors, and bare not their sticeesors adopted different modes of rule? Has there bean as Irish Chief Governor for the last thirty years wife has attempted even a general system of cosi\ ciliation? Then, Sir. what can you call this but min, rule? Itithimext place you deny the existence of as Orange Party In the Government. How then did Harley, the stone-cutter, now bead of the Police. an established Oressgmums. do!e to propose an Orange toast under the very nose Of* King last August, although the tultno aitious-of his Xajqsty were publicly declared to be con ' dilialosY t or 'W.-dared the Alderman of SKINN6II'II AWAIT repeat the Insult to the King, and the present Mayo,. propeee•ius Oraage toast at the Michaelmas illinqr, in tbeitiesence of Lord Talbot, the Head of the Oevernaseet? Yoe deity that high rents and other ex. manes oppresk the people ; sees such an assertion need $ comment-? Yen state that the Clergy of the Established Church of Ireland are not more illiberal than in Eng land. Whether yen meant this as a joke or a satire on the cloth, 1 cannot divine, but I should think it would not be received as a compliment by the townsmen on either side of the water. In the principle of substi tuting annuities to the Clergy. in lieu of tythes, I, fully agree. But from a knowledge, at least equal, if not superior, to Mr. Tighe, I will insist that the chief dis turbances that have existed in the South of Ireland for the last fifty years, were owing to the wicked and wanton exactions of Tythes and Tytbe Farmers; but much, no doubt, arises from misrule. What has Eng land ever (Waits serve Ireland? Nothing! What has she done to oppress Ireland? Every thing! She has been the cruel step-mother, the tyrannical oppressor, the robber of her dearest rights, and briber of her tra i t orous children, aa the continued prescriber of the musket, the bayonet, skid the gallows. So much, Sir. for the correctness ot year information. I hope. however, you will in future be either silent on the subject, or speak truths that are known to the most vulgar bog-trotter in the country. I regret the disposition to break the peace in the Counties of Limerick and Cork, but until the causes of disturbance are removed, the consequences must ever follow.

Mr. Johnson, a native of Scalesby, in Cumberland, is the head master of the National School in London. When the Emperor of Russia was in England, in ISI4, he visited that Esta blishment. Subsequently, his Imperial Majesty sent four young gentlemen to be instructed in the system of the institution, and having accomplished the purpose of their mission, they returned to their native country. On the 2d ult. the Rev. Mr. Johnson received the follow ing letter from Baron Nicolay, Secretary to Count Lieven, the Russian Ambassador:— " 36, Harley-street, Nov. '2, 1821. " Ste-1 have to inform you, in the absence of his Excellency, Count Lieven, thut his imperial Majesty has been pleased to commai.d that a diamond ring should be offered to you in his name, as a mark of his 31ajesty's satisfaction, for your exertions in favour of the four students who were sent to England in 1817, for the pur pose of studying the system of education adopted in the National Central School. I therefore request you, Sir, to have the goodness to call and see me on Tuesday next, about twelve, if that day should suit your conve nience, in order that I may deliver to you the ring. " 1 have the honour to remain. Sir, " Your very obedient Servant. " Rev. Mr. Johnson." " Baron NICOLIT." Mr. Johnson accordingly waited upon the Baron, who presented the Emperor's princely gift, in the most handsome manner. The ring is worth 3001. Tun CARLtuts.—Notwithstauding the recent severe sentences on two members of this family, others have been found to supply their places, and have been remov ed in due course by the rigour of the law. On the 3i inst. the '• Society for the Suppression of Vice" obtain ed a warrant against G. Clarke, Carlile's 'booms!), for the sale of a work. containing a foul libel on the King and Government, by virtue of which he was apprehend ed, and taken before Mr. Justice Bayley, at his Lord ship's Chambers, from whence lie was committed to Newgate for want of bail. The defendant behaved in the most insolent manner in the presence of the Learned Judge, and threatened an action against the Society for a false arrest. Clarke bad scarcely been removed an hour, before his place was tak en b y a young girl, named Susannah Wright, who continued the sale of the same obnoxious work, and an information being lodged against her, she was also arrested, and will, this morn ing, be brought before Jude Best, to put in bail. The trials of these defendants will come on during the next sittings at Guildball.—(Coweier) The following singular occurrence happened at Bland ford on Tuesday. As Mr. Snow's harriers were run- Dins a bore on Mill Down, they took after a monkey, which bad escaped from its place of con fi neme nt. After being followe&by the dogs over most of the garden walls, and entering the back premises of the houses in Salisbury-street andllwanstone-street, the poor animal was safely secured wit out injury, and the timid ba re i , made a fortunate retreat.—(Dorchester Jonneal.)

All grain was upon the decline again on Tuesday at Lewes. The best mutton in that town is now selling at sd. per pound. Butchers' meat is now more reasonable in this town.

During the heavy gales of last week several trees, the property of Mr. Sergison, of Cuckfield-plate, were torn up, two of which were riven in twain, and the tops carried to a considerable distance. The gates and wall of the Park were also blown down.. During t'oe gale of Friday se'nnight, an unloaded vessel, which lay in Newhaven harbour, was blown over and sunk.

A boat put off to acquaint them. of t o r danger, when the vesse l answered the helm, and to sea. It is expected that these adventuress. me.e, who put off at so much risk, will be handsomely re warded. BIARRIAGit EXTRAORDINART.—A man of the name of Taylor, upwards of 70 years of age, was, this week, joined in holy matrimony to a woman beteietto SO snit 90 years old! The happy couple were married at (near Lewes), their native place, and were attendettO church by a male and female friend of about their own' age. The united gears of the four amounted to upwards of 300 ! Mrs. Eliman treated the party with their wed ding-dinner. They afterwards proceeded' to Lord Hamp den's, where they were regaled with his Lordship's best stingo.

Besides, "Ma- dame Catalani, Mrs. Salmon, Mr. Brabam, and Signor Plarci assisted at the performance. Respecting the former, the plain Glasgow critic says, " Madame Vita lani shone out with her usual unparal ‘,.. leted.apiendonr ; . siair-semde. ints be particular in our praise. Ifilte ply with our national prejetliees at Is gratify us whit a Scottish song, we sliould have Teti diffidence.

As some of our rude?, may wish to conjecture the amount of the proceeds, we may mention a rough calculation which was made of the numbers present. In the Pit, 500 ; in the Dozes. 600 ;in the Oallery, 300; total, 1,400. If we sup pose 1,200 to be subscribers, and 200 the purchavers of single tickets, the amount will owed 5501." TRIGONOMETRICALSI'RViY.—I;rptsin Veitch and Mr. Drummond, the Engineer Officers entrusted with the conduct of the trigonometrical survey in the North of Scotland, have recently finished their task in Otk ney and Zetland, by establishing in those closters of islands the several positions which serve. to connect them with the main land of Scotland, and which.itlien completed in the subordinate details, will WO4 aim rately the geography of this quarter of the. Eraplre.—. In their operations they were attended by the Pro tector gun-brig, Captain Hemet, Commander; and that gentleman was employed at the same time in a nautical survey of various harbours among those islands which stood in need, particularly in Zeeland, of more accurate charts than have yet been given to mariners. The laborious and even hazardous task has been brought to a conclusion, with only one serious an 4 painful disaster at the close of the survey. Mr. Fitz. james, Midshipman, with four men, having gone front the rendezvous at Catf Sound, in Eday, to the island of Sands. for seine provisions, they were lost on their return, in one of those fearful currents of tide (the Lashy roast,) which are freqnent among those islands, and Into which no stranger would venture without a pilot, particularly in the flimsy narrow boats called gigs, which are so generally attached to ships of war. The fate of Mr. Fitzjames, an amiable and accomplish• ed young gentleman, and his fellow-sufferer', has thrown a gloom over the close of this scientific occur. 'ion. A few days ago a curious discovery of a deer's horn was made by the servantsof Mr. Henderson, at Driphill, near Stirling, whilst clearing away a quantity of moss. They bad first eta six feet into the moss, and thereafter i three feet into a stratum of clay, where it was fond firmly imbedded. It is about three feet in ledgth, with six fine antlers ; and what is very extraordinary, it is without the least appearance of decay. There seems strong reasons for conjecturing, from the situation in 1 which it was found, that it must have lain there previous to the formation of the moss, This natural euriesiq Is I at present in the possession of H.
