~...~ the feelings of the 'galley-gores in their favour was qui tr sympathetic, and does equal honour to all parties. We perceive that a treaty of Alliance. offensive and defensive, has been signed between Portugal and:the Rebel Regency at Madrid, which Mr. Canning rei'Y pro perly refused to receive even a message front. The nen. trai policy of England has already involved ea in a strange dilemma; but this union of Portugal with the Interests of Fiance, of which the Rebel Regency at Ma. - drid is but the cat's-paw, bids fair to plunge as into still . deeper difficulties. • . Every preparation has been made for his Majesty's ma tine excursion ; but, we believe, that the very unfavour able state of the weather. together with some slight re . mains of indisposition, has induced his Majesty to lay, aside all thoughts of it for the present season.—(Moris. 1 iag Herald) • I Prince Williams of Sohn; le ft London on Sunday week, attended by Sir Hassey Vivian, one of the King a - .

The young gentlemen of the College went op the river to sup at Smiley gall. The weather was much more favourable than could have been expected after a very stormy day, and the procession of gaily . trimmed boats was one of the most pleasing and interesting sights we have ever witnessed. The band of the Oxford Blues occupied two boats in the procession, and played some delightful airs during the whole of the entertainment. An immense number of elegant carriages, filled with beautiful and well-dressed women, added greatly to the effect of this lively scene. The procession returned to Eton at half past eight, when a brilliantdisplay of fier y orks took race from the island opposite the bridge, which was II nutinated with coloured lamps. Soon after vire o'clock the whole ceremony concluded, the band I,la)ing " Goo Save the King." The whole thing went off with great eclat, and without any accident. The increase of revenue alone on tobacco in bublin, since the formation of the coast guard, the Freeman's Journal says, has amounted to the entire cost of the pre ' ventive establishment in Ireland. his Majesty has, by a letter addressed to the Arch bishops and Bishops directed that Sermons be preached in every church in the kingdom, on behalf of the Na• tion.'l Society for the Education of the Poor, and that contributions be made from door to door in the week ensuing that in which the sermon will be preached.

Wednesday having been the day appointed for laying the Foundation Stone of the New Chapel and Free School in Dublin, notwithstanding the inclemency of the day, the arrangements were gone through with the ac enstemed solemnity.

It was stated last week in some of the papers that an establishment was to be sent out from England to New South Wales.

Yesterday a splendid eatertain rne nt was given at the Thatched House Tavern, in celebration of the return of the Marquess of Hastier to this country. by the Gen. denten who had served under his Lordship's Adminis. tration in India. At about eight o'clock upwards of MO Noblemen and Gentlemes sat down to a dinner of the moat sumptooss description. The viands were of, the choicest character, and the wines of excellent quality. The whole arrangements, indeed, were conducted upon a scale of truly Eastern magnillceoce, and great credit is due to the Proprietor of the Tavern for the taste, spirit, and liberality with which he give effect to the directions of the Gentlemen who subscribed to this entertainment. In one respect the day was, perhaps, somewhat unfor tunately selected, -as it happened to be that on which another splendid entertainment was given by the Earl of Shaftesbury, to which many di s ti ngu i s h e d personages, who would otherwise have been presenton this occasion, had previously engaged themselves. Lord William Ben da& presided, and was supported on his right hand by his Royal Highness the Doke of Sussex, and on the left by Prince Leopold. On the tight of the Duke of Sussex sat the Marquess of Hastings, Lord Holland,'Admiral Jabat, Lord Bexley, Lord W. Russell, and Sir W. Young; on the left of Prince Leopold were Count Vandelslob, • Mr. C. Wynn, Earl Breadalbane. Lord Howden, Mr. Elphin ston, and Sir H. Bl ac k woo d.

After the usual routine of toasts were gone through, the Noble Chairman proposed the health of his Royal Highoess the Duke of Sussex. The Duke of Sussex rose and said that be deeply felt the compliment paid him, and that he received pl e asure on that occasion, not only in meeting the friends by whom he was surrounded, but in taking advantage of it, as the first public opportunity he had had of welcoming the Noble Marquess on his return to this country. — (Applause.) The next toast was the health of Prince Leopold of Saxe CON rg. Prince Leoretn returned thanks briefly, and expressed the satisfaction he felt of that opportunity being allowed him to express his respect and esteem for the Marquess of Hastings. The Noble CHAIRMAN rose, and said that in rising to propose the health of the Noble Marquess, who appeared that day as their guest, he would propose &toast whit!) would be bailed with enthusiasm. The whole policy of the Noble Marquess's Government in India was founded on liberal and extended views, and in furtherance of that syetem laid down by the Marquess of Wellesley—a sys tem which, carried inte'execution, had proved the secu rity of the British possessions in India. It was reserved for the Noble Marquess to carry that system to its full accomplishment, and to settle that on a permanent secu rity, which the foresight of the Marquess of Wellesley had laid down. In reviewing the conduct of the Mar quess of Hastings, he should not do justice alone 'o hi merits as a General, but be would v , -tare on the sate ,expression of approbation to his co duct after victory. The honours gained by him in ti e tield were only equalled by his triumphs in the Cabinet. In whatever seesethe conduct of the Noble Marquess was to be con sidered, he was equally entitled to the respect and ad miration of the country. He was also s;,ecially entitled to the marked respect of those immediately connected with India •, for in a period or five years of his adminis tration, he did not add one shilling to the debt of India, while the revenue of the country was increased five mil lions annually in the same time. Having thus briefly ad verted to the public conduct of the Noble Marquess, lie would not trespass longer on their time, but would pro. pose, with sentiments of gratitude and esteem, " the health of the Noble Guest, the Marquess of Hastings." Theta's' was received with the greatest enthusiasm. The Marquess of HASTINGS then rose and said, that he could not refrain from avowing how keenly he felt the encomiums lavished on him by the Noble Chairman, and the concurrence which the company expressed by their applause and approbation of the toast. In the warmest manner he must express his thanks for that ap probation which shed a bright and an additional lustre open him. And however partial that applause might be, he could not help being proud of it, as conferring on !tin; an honest fame. qt was true, as the Noble Lord in the Chair remarked, that his chief merit consisted in follow ing up and extending the plans laid down by the Mar quess of Wellesley. To the extension of those views, as circumstances admitted, he adapted his conduct, and attained a success not dependent on fortuitous Mecum stances, but secured by patience and overcoming the various difficulties which opposed him. The Noble Chairman complimented him on two grounds —on his success in war, and on the attention paid to the improve ment of the revenue and interests of the East India Cam. pan} For the former he was indebted to the gallantry of the troops he commanded, and the co-operation and spirit of their officers; and for the latter, he only felt he discharged a duty in return for tbat liberality with which be was treated by the Court of Directors. The Noble Marquess then briefly reviewed his conduct in the pro secution and termination of the Pindaree ear, anti, after paying some compliments to the army who served under him, concluded by again expressing his acknowledgment for the honour done him.—(Applause.) The Duke of Sussex proposed the health of the Noble Chairman. Lord Wie. BZNTINCK returned thanks in a brief but emphatic speech. The CHAIRMAN then gave " the health cf Sir Thomas Hislop and the Army who served under him." He then gave " the health of the Second in command, Sir John Malcolm." Sir JOHN SIALCOLM briefly returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN gave "the health of the Foreign Mi nisters who honoered the company with their presence that day." The next toast was, " the health of the President of the Board of Control." The Right Hoo. Mr. W. WYNN returned thanks, and eulogised the conduct of the Magness of Haqings in India. The next toast was " the health of the Chairman, and Directors of the East India Company." Mr. SMITH, in the absence of the Chairman and Depu ty Chairman, returned thanks. The Duke of Sussex gave " The health of the Mar chioness of Hastings." The Marquess of HArrixos expressed his acknow ledgments for the compliment paid bins. The following toasts were then given with appropriate observations Lord Amherst, and the present 60. moment of India"-•." Sir Edw. Paget and the Indian Army." CORUNNA. An Express arrived yesterday at the Admiralty from Falmouth, stating that iotelligenc4 had reached that port from Corunaa so late as the 20th a at which time the firing was still heard. By the way of Liverpool, accounts have arrived from Coronae of the 18th, brought by the Minerva, Captain Libans, (said to be a French East Indiarnae, wllch bad been captured. and taken into Coronas) which arrived at Liverpool on Saturday. She brought several passen gers, and among them the wife of Oen. Mina. The French had not succeeded is their attack upon the town, and are stated to have retreated 4 or 5 leagues. When the Minerva sailed. they were firing upon the shipplog in the Bay, in consequence of which the vessels were getting under weigh. " The actions of the 15:b and 16th were very severe.and the French are represented to have lost a great ntheller of seen on the latter day, as they were at one time in possession of part of the town, from which they were re pulsed with great loss. Two Spasish F un- ho sts had ont-flanked the besiegers, and caused considerable loss to thin in killed and wounded. TUaTHER PARTIOULLIIL The garrison.when attacked consisted of about 1,800 men, the greatest part of them Guipuscoan awl Navarrese volunteers, the regulars not amounting to more than 400. The other disposable force was on the side of Vigo and Dreamt. The French attacked with 5,000 men, the whole corps d'arnsee they have in Galicia; and certainly no thing could be more cool and determined than the de fence of the garrison. Colonel Zarva. Commander of the Unipuscoa militia, was killed, together with several other officers of minor rank. The French are stated to have bad 700 men disabled. The Spaniards, after de fending the heights in front of the town, withdrew within the walls on the 16th, and in the evening of that day a Council of War was held, which was attended by all the principal officers. Colonel Serene, the same who distinguished himself in Madrid during the revolt of the Guards, whom on that-occasion he charged, when be had his horse killed under him by their bayonets, was the first who spoke. He told his hearers that national ho nour, as well as the most sacred of tames, required that the garrison of Colman* should bury themselves under the ruins of the town confi !ed to their care. " Let us set an example to oar countrymen," added he, " by first defending the city; and if overpowered, by withdrawing to the castle, and there resistin g t o the l as t moment ." The brave Metides Vigo, the Governor of the town, and whose wife came passenger in one of the vessels, seconded the motion, which was again snpported by Colonel No- I yells. The resolution of the Council was nuanirnows. It was determined that they should defebd Coeur= as tong as they had powder and ball to oppose their adver sanes. Sir Robert Wilson was living at the British 1 1 Consul's house, and it was thought that be Would iintoe- , diately proceed to Vigo, in order to wake Sterangements to move on the rear of the French, as I consldereble force was collecting in the neighbourhood of Orense. consisting of the regiments of Burgos, Constitution, Spain, Grenada, Arragon, and Ferrol. Col. Light's wound is reported not to be dangerous. SIR R. WILSON'S LETTER, PREVIOUS TO XIS DIPAIt7I7RX TOR CORUNNA. Vtoo, Jnly 1. "My dear Friends and Companions in Arms!-1 am just su :aliened to Coruons. I would willingly have re rosined with you in this conjuncture, but the public in. terest is yours, and this must always take place of every consideration. " I left my hountry to join the ranks of a valiant people contending for its independence against a foreign enemy: not to interfere in its internal concerns. But to attain this end, adopting the means which may condoLj to it, I shall remain faithful to my obligations so long as the Spanish nation preserves its loyalty to the Government, which it swore to _defend against the dictates of the ty rannical invader.

" R. Witsolv. " Vigo, June3o, 1823. Baron de Richemont, Inspector General of the French possessions in India, was orought into Coronae in a French Indiaman, by a Spanish pritateer, and thrown into the prison of Antonio. The Baron is the brother of the French Minister de Villele, who ordered Sir Ro bert Wilson to leave Paris in so insulting a manner.— The revenge lie took was to apply to the Spanish Au- thorities for the liberation of the * Baron de Richemont, but his application was refused by the Spanish Autliori ties, who declared their determination to detain him as , an hostage for the safety of the Constitutional General. Sir Robert Wilson, however, repeated his request, and at last obtained the liberation of De Richemont and se veral other prisoner*. Sir Robert Wilson, it is believed, wai on the eve of repairing to Vigo, where a large holly of •Constitational troops and militia were assembling, for the purpose of turning the flank of the enemy. MR. Caant.ls.—Priday. the Deputation from Mr. Charles's Committee waited upon the Lord Mayor, who received them most politely. The hardship of Mr. Charles's case having been explained to his Lordship, he instantly ordered Mr. Charles his license, and that no other conditions should be imposed upon him than.whai had been the usage under all the former Chief Magis trates of Dublin, namely, personal admission for the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, with three passes to his Lord. ship, and two to each of the Sheriffs, and the Lord Mayor's Secretary, Mr. Taylor. Mr. Charles and the Gentlemen having thanked his Lordship, they retired, quite satisfied with their reception, land the success of their mission. In the evening Mr. Charles's rooms were most fash ionably and numerously attended. Amongst the com pany in the boxes were the two Sheriffs (Messrs. Thorpe and Cooper) and their Ladles.—((bid.)

The friends of the author, how ever, prevailed; and this monstrous abortion is to have an..- thee trial. The meager promised ass piece of a "peculiar interest ;" and he bas kept hit word ; bnt it is not every thing that is peculiar that is good. The story is par: i ) borrowed from a novel of the same name. Frankenstein. looks for the principles of life in the corruption of death—no • very . likely place to find it by the br a —and at last animates a cadaverous automaton, from which be shrinks In as much terror, as the painter did from the devil of his own painting. At first, we are let to expect something very sublime, from the appearance of a full-grown demon, with black hair, white teeth, and the complexion of a dead carcase! Frankenstein very unnaturally endeavours to dispatch this work of his own baud : but the sword breaks : and the poor demon, not liking such barbarity at the hands of its father, sets out to seek its own fortune, Wherever it is seen, the people ran away from it. It scares a troop of gypsies, and burns its fingers at the fire. Theo its attention is roused by the sound of music; and it " grins horribly a ghastly smile." At first it is a good hutuoured monster ; picks violets for a blind man; and fetches a huge bundle of billets for firewood. Then it saves a Lady from droen ing; but on seeing the horrible form of her preserver, the Lady screams—her brother thinks she is in danger, and very unjustly shoots at the good natured- mhitn: who, becoming indignant, at seeing a worse return for restoring a sister to her brother, than it might have expected for bringing back a dead wife to a merry mourning husband, seises a brand and sets fire to the house. The goblin now becomes furious, a-d m lignant —rims away with Ftankenstein's broiler, an shoots his betrothed spouse, the lady whom it had berme saved. Frankenstein, maddened to distraction, pursues it with loaded pistols; and after a deadly struggle, they are both buried under a falling avalanche of snow! WALLack is the Frankenstein, and plays admirably. 'P. P. Cooks is the Goblin. and does it all imsginalii. justice. His pantomime is as excellent as we have et er seen. The delineation (tithe different emotions of the strange being, on the hearing of the music, was horribly faithful to the author's idea. Keeley has a humourotis part, which tells well enough. The re't of the ladies and gentlemen bad very little to do, but to I walk in and sing. The music was pretty; and there was enough of it. Nothing, however, was encored dar ing the performance of the piece; though a duet between Miss PovaY and PamtilAN, perhaps deserved to be a". We were surprised to find such a drama advertised, without a part for Miss Nubby; but there was nething in it worthy of her pswers. HAYII•IIIKET Tosatran.--Madame VERTRIS's Mac heath, and Miss Parox's Polly, attracted another over. flowing audience to this Hopse yesterday evening.
