liIKA STATisMAN. made au irruption into the French territory, attacked, and are said to have defeated the Baron. Such was the report at Paris on Thursday night. Tho Male al ludes to this report, but adds, that the letter it has re ceived from Perpignan speaks merely of an alert on the night of the 17th, and of the departure of some troops, but acknowledges that Mina and Llobera did ac tually make their'appearance on the extreme Frontier.— There is no mention made of the conspiracy in any of these papers. They allude to alarming reports in cir culation ; contradict the report of the arrest of General Pharney, brother-in-law of Guillerninot ; but speak of the fruitless attempts made by French officers, who had fled to Spain, to corrupt the French troops, and induce them to declare for the Bonaparte family. By the journals of Saturday we leant, that the reports of the entry of Mina into the French territory continued to be circulated on the Exchange, bat were without confir mation, and obtained little credit. On the subject of the tonspiracy in the army, the papers preserve a wary si lence, while the good order and discipline of that portion of it which continues flithful is ostentatiously put forth, The departure of the Duchess d'Angouleme for for deaux, to join her husband, is fixed for the 2d of April ; from which it is probable that the entry of the French into the Peninsula is not so near as has been conjectured. Great movements are making in the port of Rochefort, and several vessels of war are fitting oat, to cruise on the coast of Bayonne., According to these papers the depart ure of the King of Spain from Madrid, on t:-.e 20th, was viewed with general satisfaction, and without any infringement of public tranquillity. lie was escorted by 6,000 men, commanded by the Count of Abiebal' and 22,000 militia were stationed along the road to Seville. Letters from Madrid of the 21st add to the former intel ligence, that the Cortes would close the Session as soon as it was ascertained that the King had passed Ocana, when they would adjourn to the 16th of April, the day on which they would hold their first sitting in Seville. The Ministers Egea and San Miguel were to remain some days longer at Madrid. General Mofillo was to set out immediately for the Army of Galicia. The few Spaniards who remained in Paris were preparing to quit that capital. The Count de Toreno, who has resided there fur the last two years, was about to repair to Loudon. FRINCH FUNDS, MASUD 29.—Five per Cent. Consols. opened at 78f. 54k.; rose to 78f. 85c., and closed at 78f. 50c.—Bank Stock, I,47sf.—Neapolitan Stock, 67i. — Exchange on London, one month, 25f. 70c. ; three mouths, 25f. 50c. By Dutch papers received this morning, we have the following intelligence from various parts of the conti. nem:— From Stockholm we learn that nothing has yet trans pired that can lead to a discovery of the author of the alarming letters. One Frykstedt. who has been servant in several families, has been taken up, because he had said in a public place, that he knew wbo had put the let ters in the post; but he has confessed nothing, and affirms, that he uttered the expressions attributed to him, when in a state of intoxication. A ship of the line, Charles the Twelfth, is preparing to bring over the bride of the Prince Royal. The State Gazette of Berlin says there is no founda tion for the report published in Brussels papers, that considerable magazines are forming at Treves for a I Pruss:an army of observation. The contractors for the supply of the troops, however, made the usual purchases, and this has given rise to the report. It is reported at Frankfort that several houses in that city have not beemery fortunate with the second Neapo litan Loan. There appears to be no thought of a second Austrian Loan. An article from Petersburg, dated March 8, states that since the beginning of February they have had con stantly warm weather, the thermometer being six or sloven degrees (Reaurnar, about 46 of Farenhcit), and' , the winter sceres too, have entirely forsaken them. It thaws so rapidly that the streets are not passable, even in sledges, and the roads are likewise in a very bad state. On the 30th of January, there was so earth quake in the Island of Arland. The day was gloomy, and it snowed. Between eleven and twelve in the forenoon, a violent shock was felt, accompanied pith a loud subterraneous noire, so that several houses tumbled. S•roattExcitawoe, Twetva o'CLocu.—Consols opened tbismorcing at NIL at which price they have remained steady. Two Expresses have arrived from Paris, but we do not hear of any later intelligence from that capi lal than what has been published this morning. It is said That a Saturday's Evening Paper is in town, but that it does not contain any news of importance. Spa nish Eonds are upon the rise, owing to the Spanish oo vernment's punctuality in paying the dividend, as well as, the report of a diplomatic character going to Ma drid. FOREIGN 7n:sm.—Spanish Bonds opened at 29, and are at present 291, with a good market. Chili. 09—New Spanish, 291 to I—Old. nothing done — New Prussia, 74-01 d, 82—Danish, 81—Colombia, 57. (PROM THE HOARD OF THE NEW ENGLAND COFFEE HOUSE.) New York papets have arrived, from which the follow: ing its extracts :-- Paws SOUTH AMERICA.—The brig Clio has arrived at Newcastle from Buenos Ayres. and furnished the Phi ladelphia Gazette with late and interesting news from South America. The accounts from Chili are to the litter end of November, and state that Valparaiso has been entirely destroyed by an earthquake, and two or three•hundred persons perished in the ruins. Coquimbo, Aroncaqua, and several other towns, have suf fered severely, and many of the principal buildings of Santiago have been a good deal injured by the repeated shocks which continued moat of the night of the 19th of November. The advice. from Lima are to the lOth of November, at which time the Market was dull. The following is verbal information concerning Buenos Ayres.—The Government of Buenos Ayres ap_ pears to be established on correct and liberal principles. affording protection to individual safety and property. — The United States, the only nation that has recognised the independence of Buenos Ayres, is held by Govern ment and the people in great estimation. CARACCAS. JAN. 17 .....STATi OF TIM eeeee 1 movements of the enemy from Maracaybo toward Retigue , induced us to believe, teat he intends opening the cam paign by the Province of Truxillo. At this hour he has made no great progress in his new line of operation. — Our forces at Dacha, the division of the West, under Col Marinquez, and those of Valencia under Paez, are ready for action. Extract of a letter from St. Martha, Dec. 24.—Morales does not frighten us. Wise measures having been taken, and General Montilla has departed to meet him with about 4000 men. Paez, with 3000, and Soubletto, with 4000, Colonel Nerves, with 2000, and General Cle menti, with 1,800. It will be very lucky for Morales, if he can escape from the forces which are to attack him. There are rumours at Paris of another attempt to nego ciate with Spain. According to a cotemporary, a Gentle man, who left that capital on Friday states, that it was reported in the best informed political circles, that Count Jules de Polignac, was about to depart on a special mis sion to the Spanish Govel-nment, which could have no other object than to bring about a reconciliation between the two countries. Lima, MARCH 26.—1 n French Flanders and Artois, which form the 16th military division, there is a great number of officers on half-pay, who, while they are in the receipt of it, await the time when they may be em ployed in active service. These officers have chosen the places where they desire to fix their abode, and cannot quit their department without permission ; yet we are Informed that several of them have successively disap peared. It is supposed that they have found means to embark for England, and thence, without doubt, have proceeded for Spain, which has given occasion to stricter measures of surveillance. The Madrid papers of the 20th announce the death of Don Luis de Borbon, Cardinal de Scale, and Archbishop of Toledo, at the age of 45. He was at the head of the patriotic Spanish Prelates. The Universal says, "he died faithful to the sentiments in which he lived, and during his long and painful indisposition, not the least of his sufferings was the finding his country distracted by the factious, and threatened with an unjust war." The report of a conspiracy in Sweden, which, though against a Government not of the purely legitimate kind, produced an ultra expression of alarm, proves to be a hoax. The circular letters in the name of Gen. Hoist, sent to the Governors of the Swedish provinces on the subject of the conspiracy, were forgeries. An ordinance of the Governor of Stockholm premises 10,000 rix dol lars banco for the discovery of the author. Extract of a letter, dated Gottenhurg, March 17 : " The last accounts from Stockholm state that the Rus sian Ambassador has given in a note to Government de manding to know, should a war take place between France, and Spain, what part they intend taking ? The samtOt it would appear has been *done in Copenhagen." Dovax, MARCH 28.—The late conspiracy in France has occasioned the Dottaniers at Calais to be very minute and rigorous in searching the baggage of passengers, in or der to ascertain if there be auy writing or paper sewed tap in it. By a Gentleman who landed from France to-day, we learn, that the day before he left Paris, no less than 65 persons, supposed to be concerned in the late affair, were apprehend, and every description of conveyance en tering Paris, was examined by the police, Batteries are throwing up on the sands near Calais, and every other precaution taking to guard against an attack limn Spa nish privateers. Letters from Bahia of the 20th of January mention, that an attack was made on the 7th, by General Madeira, on the island of Taporica. His force consisted of 1,500 men, on hoard of two brigs, 20 gun-boats, and some smacks, all provided with guns of considerabte calibre. The attack lasted five hours, and ended in Madeira's he ing compelled to retire with a loss of 200 men. The Portuguese troops then returned to Bahia. Madeira, fearing in his contest with the Brazilians to be straiten ed for provisions, had subsequently given orders that all the women and children should retire into the inte rior. According to these letters, nothing of importance bail occurred at Bahia from the 7th to the 20th, and they are supposed, therefore, to throw doubt on the statement we extracted from from a Maranham journal, of the total defeat of Labatour, the Brazilian General. That ac count was so little circumstantial in dates and places, as in itself to create suspicion of its authenticity ; bnt, as the principal action was said to have occurred on the 26th of January, there must be a further arrival from Bahia before it can be considered groundless. It is rumoured that Mr. Johnstone, the Private Secre tary of the Marquess of Wellesley, has received his dis tnissal.—This measure is said to have been insisted on by Lord Liverpool. We are happy to be assured that the officer who was among the numerous persons that perished in the Alert Liverpool packet, was not Major Kelly, belonging to the Staff of General Egerton, as was at first supposed.— Major Kelly is now in London in excellent health. The Bellerophon hulk, at Sheerness, is discharging all her convicts, preparatory to being converted into an /Ve lum for Juvenile Convicts, who are to be kept constantly at different trades, under masters appointed for this spe cial purpose. ALARMING AND DRSTRUCTIVR FIRE THIS MORNING. About 5 o'clock this morning, as one of oar compositOrs was crossing Wych Street, un his way to the office, his attention was excited by the appearance of smoke which issued fetwn the shop windows of Mr. Noyes, Tallow Chandler, in that Street, nearly opposite the Olympic Theatre. Consulting a bye-stander who was near, they both became convinced that the shop was on fire, and proceeded instantly to rouse the inmates, who were buried in sleep, to a sense of their imminent danger. The house was full of lodgers; and io a few minutes the street presented such a spectacle as is seldom witnessed. The opening of the street door had given vent to the flames, which rushed to the upper part of the house with most frightful rapidity, and left the dis tracted inhabitants not the least opportunity to save any thing except their lives. At one moment was seen a man rushing out of the house, with no clothing but his shirt; at another, a female, with a blanket around her, clasping a young infant to her distracted bosom. Soon after a poor mother followed, almost in a state of nudity, leading two children in her hands, with three others, entirely naked, running after her. The scene, indeed, and the distraction of the sufferers, exceed the powers of description. One poor man was in such consternation, that he continued, in his shirt only, endeavouring to collect and save the furniture of his room, till constraint was used to secure his personal safety. lisppily, no lives were lost ; though, had the calamity happened at an earlier hour of tue morning, the most awful consequences must have occur red. The flames soon reached the roof of the house in which the fire began, and communicated to that of Mr. Lindsay, painter and glazier. The greatest a larm prevailed for the safety of the other houses in the neighbourhood, particularly on the west side of Newcastle Street, as the stables of the Bell Inn-yard, which partly joined the premises of Mr. Noyes, are contiguous to that street. In the course of an hour, however, the conflagration was checked lit its career, and no other damage, besides what we have mentioned,took place, except In the roof of one of the stables. We are concerned to add, that we understand, Mr. Lindsay, who was the leaseholder of both the houses destroyed, had not insured them. THE AGE OF BRONZE—By Lona By sox. This Poem, " takes in all matters which now agitste the political world."—We content ourselves, for tne pre sent, with the following satire on the patriotism and the plaints of his brother patricians. " Alas, the country I how shell tongue or pen Bewail her now uncountry gentlemen ? ? The last to bid the cry of warfare cease, The first to make a malady of peace. For what were all these country patriots born ? To hunt, and vote, and raise the price of corn? Bet corn, like every mortal thing, must fall, Kings, conquerors. and markets, most of all. And must ye fall with every ear of grain? Why would you trouble Buonaparte's reign? He was your great Triptolemus ; his vices Destroyed by realms, and still maintained your prices; He amplified to every lord's content The grand Agrarian Alchemy high rent. Why did the tyrant stumble on the Tartars, And lower wheat to such desponding quarters? Why did you chain him on yon isle so lone The man was worth much more upon his throne. True, blood and treasure boundlessly were spilt, But what of that? the Gaul may bear the guilt. But bread was high, the farmer paid his way, And acres told upon the appointed day." • • • • "Safe in their barns, these Sabine tillers sent Their brethren out to battle.—why ? for Rent ! Year after year they voted cent. per cent. Blood, sweat, and tear-wrung millions, —why ? for Rent ! They roared, they dined, they drank, they swore, they meant To die for England; when then live? for Rent! The peace has made one general malcontent Of these high-market patriots; war was Rent! Their love of country, millions all mis-spent, How reconcile? by reconciling Rent! And will they not repay the treasures lent No: down with every thing, and up with Rent! Their good, ill, health, wealth, joy, or discontent, Being, end, aim. religion—Rent ! Rent ! Rent ! Thou sold'st thy birthright, Esau! for a mess: Thou ehouldst have gotten more. or eaten less; Now thou hest swilled thy pottage, thy demanis Are idle : Israel says the bargain stands." • • • • • "Admire their patience through eac!. sacrifice, Till taught to feel the lesson of their pride, The price of taxes and of homicide ; Admire their justice, which would fain deny The debt of nations :—pray, who made it high?" BAIGIITON, MARCH 31.—His Majesty attended Divine Service yesterday, and on Good Friday, in the Palace chapel. The Chapel, on each °cession, was crowded, in volving his Majesty's household, nobility, gentry, and townsfolk. A paper of this morning, in the account which its Brighton correspondent gives of the service of yester day, says, "We can positively state with respect to the Athanasian Creed, which in the service is appointed for this day, his Majesty who, equally with the late King, his father, Is proverbial for hie attention to the responses, was perfectly silent during the lime Dr. Pearson was occupied in reciting this Creed, and did not respond at all. It will be heard with regret, that an intimation has been thus early given, that it is not his Majesty's pre sent intention to embark on his cruising excursions in his Royal yacht this summer.—(llanipaliire Telegraph.) Saturday's Gazette notifies the grants of the dignities of Earl and Viscount of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, to Charles William, Marquess of Londonderry, by the title of Viscount Seaham, of Sealiani, in the County Palatine of Durham, and Earl Vane • and of a Viscount of the said United K i ng dom to William Carr, Baron Beresford, by the title of Viscount Beres ford, of Beresford, in the County of Stafford. The public are indebted to L2rd A. Hamilton for a parliamentary paper, shoWing the number of persons composing the Councils of the Scottish Boroughs, of which the following is the result:—Total number of per sons composing the Councils, 1102. Add for nine bo roughs not accounted for, 135. Having property, 7ao. None, 356. Resident, 915. Non-resident, 151. The city of Durham is again to be the scene of an election, Sir Henry Hardinge having vacated his seat by taking an office in the Orinstice department. The writ for a new election arrived in Durham on Thursday morning. Sir H.'s address on offering himself again to the notice of the freemen, was soon after published.- IVhen our accounts left Durham no other candidate had announced himself, and there was not much prospect of Sir H.'s return being opposed. The election is fixed for the 3d of April.—(Neweastle Gaon.) A letter has been received by the Mayor of Lancaster, from Mr. Secretary Peel stating, that it is not probable there 10:1 be any alteration in the place of holding the assizes. The people of Liverpool and Manchester have been making strenuous entleavonrs to have the assizes held alternately between those towns and Lancaster. Mr. Betty is engaged at Drury-Lane Theatre for three years, to.commence from the next season. The engar inent would have commenced from the present time, had not Mr. Betty's provincial engagements occupied his time till the end of the year. " I think," said a farmer, " I ahead(' make a good Parliament man, for I use their language. 1 received two Bills the other day, with requests for immediate , payment: the one l ordered to be Ltid on the table—the other to be read that day six months!" Accounts have reached us from Admiral Krosenstern, that a Russian officer had accomplished the extraor linary journey of fifty days on the Polar lee, and' had arrived at an entirely open Polar Sea ! !—(Literary Gasete.) The trade of Pettit is still at a very low ebb; land, were it not for the cheapness of provisions, the weavers, though all employed, could scarcely subsist on their wages. The Edinburgh Petition for Reform, has been signed by nearly seven thousand persons, all of whom are house holders. It may he safely said, that a petition at once so numerously and respectably subscribed, has rarely been laid before Parliament. We understand that an answer has been received this morning to the application of Mr:. M'Kinnon for mercy. and that the prayer of her petition cannot be complied with.--(Edie. Star of Friday.) On Monday last the fox-hounds of Sampson Danbury, Esq. had a remarkably brill ant chase. The fox was found at Iladham-park, Instantly broke cover, and went sway to Wicking-hall, crossing the Bishop Stortford road, leaving Minions on the right, and pointed for Madams, but could not make it. The hounds pressing him hard, he turned back, and after running over a great extent of country, re gained Iladham-park by Eastwood, thence again through Hadham-park to Bailey-hills and Farnham-green, where, for the first time, there was a short check. The huntsman, however, instantly made a successful cast, and recosered his fox, and after a gallant burst ran in to him at Ars) bu ry, near Mannutlen. The distance was accomplished in SO minutes. Coact EXCHANGE. —There were tolerable large arrivals of most descriptions of grain last week, but this morning the additional supplies are only moderate. Wheat has sold on nearly the same terms as this day se'nnight, but upon the whole, the trade is very dull. Barley also con tinues to sell heavily, but the prices do not decline. Beans hardly maintain the terms of this day se'nnight. l Grey Peas are unaltered. Boiling Peas fully support their last prices. There is a tolerable good supply of Irish oats, but not many English, and the trade fully supports last week's terms. The Flour trade is in an unsettled state. SMITIIFIRLD MARIULT, Masten 31.—There was a foil market of Oxen this morning, and the trade being heavy, the prices were somewhat lower than last Monday. Of a t e-p and lambs the numbers were also great, but with I tile abatement in the prices from this day se'nnight.— Ui on the whole, the supply of all descriptions of cattle m as much greater than thidemand.

Several important trials at Derby, relative to the right of the Crown to the lands left by the sea on the coa.A. of Lincoln, and in which the fate of similar property a!1 over the kingdom is involved, were heard on Thursday last, before Mr. Justice Palm, and a most respectable Jury. In the first issue, in which Lord Yarboroa:.rit was defendant, a verdict against the Crown was recArletl. • The same result attended all the cases with the excep tion of one—that of Mr. W. Scroupe, who had been led to make an erroneous allega'ion that the Fitees, or new salt inarshee, were appendant to his minor; whereas the Counsel fur the Crown called a witness to prove that be bad purchased a fee farm rent reserved to the Crown in a grant by Charles 1., which lies between the new m trshes and the estate of Mr. Scroope. The verdict in this case was taken for the plaintiff: in all the others, as matter of coarse, after the failure of the first, for the defendants. !MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—OG Saturday week as Mrs. Moore, wife of Mr. Moore, attorney, La,. caster, was sitting before the tire with a child five weeks old in her lap,a spark flew under her chair which she endeavoured to put inside, the fender pith her foot, when a light shawl which she wore caught fire, in i she was instantly enveloped in flames. In her terror she threw the child on a rota, and ran to the kitchen, in which was the housekeeper, but she, also terrified, ran into the street calling for help • in eonsequeoce of this delay, before any person arrived, Mrs. M. was so dreadfully burned, that she lingered in excruciating agony till Monday evening, when death put an end to her sufferings.
