By their silence,however, we are led to infer that the recent Firman said to have been issued by the G rand Seig.l oior, is a fabrication. The Galette of Leasbcrg con firms the news of. the Jateissaries having violated the c apitulation of the convent of Secka, but asserts that Jordalti had destroyed himself to avoid falling into tlae hands of the Turks.—From Lisbon we learn that a new decree of the Cortes reduces the Members of the Councillors of State to nine, who are to be impsed by the Cortes to the King. Other altera. l timis of importance are said to be also contemplated.

On the follow ing morning, at sun-rise, the ship was so completely ea ec i o p e d in ice, that there appeared no means of %seer, even from the tops of the malts. The ice, in its whole extent, rose about 14 feet above time snrface of the water. It drifted towards the south-east, and bore the ship along with it 29 successive days. On the 17th of Pcb. Captiin D. being 300 miles east of Cape Race, 44. 37. north lat., perceived an opening to the south-east, and succeeded in disengaging himself. From the 19th of January to the 3d of February, the brig only made four miles a day, and, daring the 29 days this singular navigation lasted, be descried near 100 very extensive mountains of compact ice.

On the 21st his Majesty gave an audience to Prints Metternich, ,who has been sent by his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, to compliment the King on his arrival in his German dominions. — Prince Metternich was introduced by Count Munster, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and on his entering the Court Yard of the Palace, the guard presented arms, and the drums were beat.. 7 NI His Majesty has learned with regret, that during the bunting party which was designed for his Majesty's entertainment several persons were injured. His Ma jesty has *iron orders that a sum from the Royal Treasury Asti .be applied with becoming liberality for the recovery and indemnification of those persons. His Majesty, as far as we yet know, intends to leave this city on the 29th, to stop the first night at Roten kirchen, and the •secotrd at Munden. • His Majesty will then continue his journey by way of Coblents. Cologne, Aix-la-Chapelle, Liege, and Brussels. The same paper contains the address of the Depu , legion of the General States of Hanover to the King, and the speech of the Hereditary Land Marshal, Count Munster, on introducing the Deputation. To the Address of the Prisident of the Deputation his Majesty was pleased to make the following at Wei : " I feel the greatest joy at finding myself in the midst of my faithful German Subjects, and receive whit particular pleasure from this Deputation of the Genes al Metes of the Kingdom the assurance of their respect and love for my person and my Royal House, of which I have already received so many effecting proofs.

The Royal George and Prince Regent yachts, with their attendant syuadren, have been ordered round from Portsmouth to Calais. with positive instructions to be in readiness to receive his Majesty and suite on board early on Friday morning next.—The Royal Sovereign yacht has also received orders to proceed immediately to Calais, for the purpose of conveying her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta to this coun try, on her return from Germany. The Royal Sove reign is chosen for this service because she draws less water than any of the other Royal yachts, and, of course, is capable of approaching much nearer to the pier. The Venn, steam-boat, Captain Jones, has left her moorings off the Tower. to proceed to Calais, and re ceive his Majesty on board, on his return to England. The orders were for the boat to he in waiting at Calais on Monday next. I to Sir Francis Burdett has arrived at his seat in Wiltshire. The Vice-Chancellor, Sir John Leach, arrived in Paris, last week from a tour through the South of France and the Pyrenees. At the late election of Mayor for the Borough of Liverpool, it is asserted that in the space of three days and a half, not less than 3,0001. were spent on each side. At first, it is said, six shillings were paid as days' wages, but afterwards half sovereigns and extra orders for ale.

Mr. Jones asks the following questions:—" Do the Whig Party wish it to be understood that henceforward thi.eople (or as they choose to nickname them, the • Radicals') are to be excluded from taking any part in their deliberative proceedings ?" " Are our PnhPv Meetings to be converted into private cabals ; and is the right of free discussion to be placed under the arbi trary controut of a managing Committee ? In short, are the people to be rendered mere silent and passive instruments is il i ke hurls of their leaders, anti be allowed only to meet and approve what is set before them, with out comment or observation ?" LAW CIIANG.4I6—We have heard it reported, that the following changes are about to take plate in our Law Courts ;—Sir John Stuart, Bart. retires in conse quence of bad health, and is to be succeeded by the Lord Advocate, whom Henry Bone Drummond, Esq. M.P. is to succeed ; and that Lord Bannatyne retires, and will be succeeded by the Solicitor-General, who, again, is to be succeeded by John Hope, Esq. son of the Lord President.—(Ediabergh Paper.) We understand, that George Thom, now lying in Aberdeen Jail, under sentence of death, for murder, has, with deep contrition, confessed his guilt, and cleared his wife of having had any share in the crime for which he is condemned to die.—(Ediahurgli Star.) In the garden of R isebank, in the neighbourhood of 'Aberdeen, the Strawberry-beds at present are covered with a profusion of blossom ; and ripe fruit, of a large slue, and delicious flavour, were gathered last week in considerable quantities. This is a more remarksble' p.oof of the mildness of the present weather than 'any thing we have yet heard of. Several apple-trees are again in blossom; but this circumstance is Lot so rare. —(lbid.) On the 6th instant, as Mr. Lowry, a farmer of the . Barton of Place, In the parish of St. Anthony, near "St Dfiiirks, Was digging fur manure on the beach near low water mark, he found a human skeleton, ! which 14 under some sand and rubbish, with the face Bownwaids, and the arm turned tinder the body :—a large stone was placed on the shoulders. From the sitnation in which it was found, it is supposed to be the remains of a person who was murdered. From the appearance of the remains, they are supposed to have been those of a tall man. On the above circum stances being known, a woman resident al St. Mawr., stated, that about twenty years since, when she was is the service of Admiral Spry, she had at one time oc casion to pass the above spot about midnight, when she saw four sailors digging; on seeing her they im mediately ran off. Being much alarmed at their ap pearance, she hastened back to the house ; but the oc currence was passed over. The flowing of the tide soon obliterated all vestig es of the spot that had been disturbed. The woman has often mentioned the cir• cumstance, and expressed a wish that she could learn why the s Mors were digging at that time and place. The remains have been carefully collected and placed in a coffin, which has been deposited in the Church. yard of St. Anthony, and the large stone found on the shoulders placed at the head. On Monday night, about eight o'clock, as Mr. Henry Clark, who lives near the Dog and Stile, Bo rough-road, was returning home with his family, he saw several persons hastily run away as they ap proached the street door. The house basin& been left w ithout any person in it, be naturally felt al arm, and a light having been procured from a neighbour's, a ske leton key was discovered in the lock of the street door. Thus, Mr. Clark coming home at the very mom •nt the thieves were about to enter his house, providentially saved his property from plunderers. Several su4pi doss characters had been seen lurking about the spot during the afternoon. Descriptions of them bare been given to the proper persons, which, it is hoped, may lead to the detection of the numerous gangs that infest that neighbourhood. FIRS.-0a Saturday night about half-past ten o'clock, flames were discovered issuing from the roof and windows of a stable, situated in %V Itite-crusa-street, Union-street, Borough. In the stable were several valuable horses, the property of Mr. Howes, coal-mer chant, and adjoining to it was a wooden building, containing a number of cows. The greatest alarm and consternation ran through the neighbourhood, as the surrounding houses are chiefly of wood, and inhabited by numerous poor families. At this juncture en intrepid young man entered the stable and loosened the Lorses from the mangers, and other persons following his example, the whole of the valuable cattle, together with their harness were pre served. It was many minutes before one horse which stood at the farther end of the stable could be moved, but the young man who first entered having brought to the door a rope which lie had affixed to the horse's head, by the united strength of a number of persons, this timid animal was at length dragged from his perilous situation. A plentiful supply of water being procured, and the exertions of the neighbours being properly applied, the fire was subdued without ex tending beyond the building where it commenced. A number of engines and firenori arrived in a short time after the firs was clikovelled, ,It is supposed that a Spark must - have dioppod avian the hay in the left, as no other cam for the acei lent can be assigned.

Miss BLAKE'S performance of Misch eath in the Be*- gars Opera, attracted a crowded audience last et ening.

The celebrated song of the Wolf, was last night sung by her, in the scene with the thieves, and was loudly encored. The extracr dinary depth and sweetness of this young la:ly's roico astonishes every one, and_ she cannot fail to be an acqui sition to any theatre that may be fortunate enough to engage her permanently. OLD Bill LE Y.—'l'Hia MORNING. C. Coghlan and T. Ilarris (boys of 13 and 14 years of age) were indicted for stealing a rural necklace, the property of J. Sydes. The circumstances of the caso were these: Tile daughter of the prosecutor was walking out charged with the care of her brother, a boy of Mat• years of age, when Harris unloosened the necklace from the neck of the child. A person passine; by observed him in the act, and immediately apprehended him. Coghlan was in company with Harris and was also apprehended. The Jury acquitted Coghlan and found 'lams Unity. Mr. Aitantx, who tried the prisoners, said he knew Harris to be an old offender, hut promised giro that it should be the last time of his appearance at .hat bar. , • ittaita'sv itottaray. John Jacohs was indicted for assaulting Ellen Alder son on the King's highway, and taking from her prrson a shilling, a bonnet, and a silk handkerchlef. Ellen Anderson is the wife of an extra tide-waiter, and described herself as going out on the evening of Me Ith inst. to purchase some mow. She toqk a shillitiA anil a basin with her, and had not proceeded far when she met with the prisoner, who attacked her violently, snatched the shilling frau' her hand, and tore her bon -set and handkerchief front her head and neck. Tbp prisoner continued beating her until two watchmen came up and rescued her from his violence. The prisoner declared his innocence, Mid . attest hit employer, who gave him an excellent mmeter. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, bat recommended him to mercy on account of the character which he had received. The COMMON SERJE %NT said that he slarald certainly forward the recommendation of the Jury to the Crew'', but that when they considered the drradfnl state in which many of the public streets were, and, especially, that part of the town (Hosetuary-lane) in which this crime had been committed. they would not wonder if hp forbore to add his own recommendation to theirs. Be . sides, this case had been marked with great and unnr•ces , sary violence, as it appeared that the interposition of the watchmen alone had preserved the prosecutrix from per haps, actual death. The Common Sergeant then warned the prisoner not to rely too strongly on the rmoimenda -1 tion that had been made, hut to prepare for that faCn • which he was probably destined to undergo.. Letters from Milan stale. that there had been formed in that City, by order of the Austrian government, a Commission of Inquiry, composed of Judges, half Ita lians and half Herman..., in order to make artriries re specting the Carhonari and other reformers of Italy. Mr. Samuel Waller, of this town, who, was sew tenced to three months' imprisonment at the Sal ford July Sessions, for street-preaching, was discharged from the Sew Bailey on Tuesday se'nnight, at a quar ter past seven o'clock in the morning ; the term of his imprisonment, as interpreted by the Magistrates, having expired on that day. Mr. Waller, at the pe riod of his liberation, was in a poor state id health, but we are happy to say that his restoration to liberty. and the comforts of his family circle, have since produced very favourable effects.—(ifanchester Guardian.)
