The Statesman. — London, England, 1823-04-03 00:00:00

ceived dispatches from Perpignan, on Sunday last, im mediately assembled in Council; and that the result of their deliberations was a resolution to apply to the Chamber of Deputies for fresh supplies' of men and mo ney: the former to consist of from 40 to 60,000 men' and the latter to amount to 60,000,000 francs. It is stated that Mina commands three divisions, amounting to 15,000 men, in what may be called the vicinity of 'France, not including the garrisons in the fortresses which the Spaniards mean to defend. The Regency has been broken up, and a Council of Spanish Chiefs of the Faith appointed in its place, to act in concert with, and under the direction of, the Duke of Angouleme. The Journals of Sunday insinuate, rather than assert, that Marshal Victor has been definitively and not temporarily removed from the Ministry of War. His successor, -General Dijeon, signs the Royal Ordonnances in the' Moniteur as " Minister of War," without the words ad interim. Orders are said to have been dispatched to the French Fleet in the Mediterranean, to follow the movements of the Army along the coasts of Catalonia, in order to supply the troops with provisions, in case the Spaniards, as it is expected, should lay waste the coun try in their retreat. No credit whatever is attached to t he report. also mentioned in private letters, that the King of France had a paralytic stroke on Tuesday week, which was kept concealed from the public, and even from his own Brother till Saturday last, when he had completely recovered. It was also reported last night, that the De claration of War by France against Spain, and the Ma nifesto issued at the head of the Army on entering the Peninsula, had reached this country. The statement, we believe i like many another, mere fabrication. Frtancii FUNDS, MARCH 31.—Five per Cents. dividend from March 23,1823, opened at 78f. 60c.: closed at 781. 75c.—Bank Shares, 1475E —Neapolitan Stock, 67;1. Evcliange on London—One mouth, 251. 65c. (money.) Since the above was written, we have received the Drapcau Blanc, and Constilutionnel of Tuesday last, which are chiefly filled with the debate on the War Bridget. The debate was opened by M. Bourdonnaye, whose speech occupies four columns. lie was answered by 111. Villele, who, in his speech made use of in the rem akable phrase "the incertitude that may follow the war." This bad the effect of raising Spanish Bonds in Paris. The last news received from Bordeaux was of the 2 lth of March, and that from Toulouse was of the same date. Accounts from Bayonne are of the 22d ult., at which time they write that it was asserted that rations for the troops would he distributed on the Ist of April. The intelligence from Perpignan, is of the 20th ult. At that period, it was said there were 20 millions, 500 thousand francs in the Calm of reserve of that army. In other respects, the papers are barren of intelligence from the armies. The Duchess of Anronleme will set off on Wednesday. Sbe will be accompanied by her ladies of honour, the Duchess of Da llas, and the Viscountess of Agoult. Tutsoav, APRIL 11.—Spanish Bonds, 322—Renter, 78. 75. Frankfort papers have arrived this morning, by which we have received accounts from Constantinople, which are greatly at variance with each other. The one is in an article from Odessa, dated March 6, which states that a ship had arrived there which left Constantinople on the 28th of February, and that letters from that city affirm that the Porte has acceded to the proposals bronglit by Lord Strangford. There was a report in circulation, that an amnesty for the Greeks is one of the articles; but the Greeks, probably recollecting the am nesty of Chios, said they bad not asked for any, and boprd soon to have obtained it for themselves. The other account is direct from Constantinople, and is slated February 25, and states as follows • " Lord Stnngford bas bad his audience of the Sultan and the Divan, for the payment of the troops has passed over without disturbance. Some days after the great Divan was held, when the Ulemas and Chiefs of thit Ja nissaries were present, and the proposals of his Lordship were taken into consideration. We learn from an au thentic source that in this extraordinary assembly, at which the Sultan I< said to have been placed so as to bear the proceedings without being seen. it was resolved to take a step towards an agreement with Russia, the Reis Effendi having declared to Lord Strangford, that the Turkish Ministers were ready to receive the relations with Russia; a formal communication l►sa not yet been made. As soon as this is done, expre.ses will be despatched to London and Vienna. Private letters from Vienna say, that an extraordinary courier from Constantinople arrived there on tie 18th, :.nd probably brought this communi ' cation. Expresses were immediately despatched to St. Pe tersbergh and London. The Porte seems to have been led to this concession. by the events in the Peloponnese's, and is now seriously thinking of striking some decisive blow against the Greeks. The armaments making here with► this view, are, therefore, extremely great, and have already led to some excesses oa the shores of the Channel. On the whole the state of the capital is tolerable. In the Archipelago the Greeks continue to capture vessels." The Austrian Observer contains no news from Constanti nople. It gives the convention between the Emperors of Russia and Austria, and the King of Prussia, on one part, and the King of Sardinia on the other, for withdrawing the Austrian troops from the Sardinian territory. STOCK EXCUANGE, 12 o'cLocx.—Consols opened this 'milling at 741 i, at which price they remain steady, with little business doing. Vomitus; Ft: NOS.—Spanish Bonds experienced a rise • Ibis morning, owing, it is said, to Villele's speech in the Chamber of Deputies. Bonds which left oil' yester -day at 24i, opened this morning at 22, went up to M. CAili,f36l—New Spanish, 291-01 d, 38—New Prassia,79l —Old, 82—Danish, 81—Colorn his, 67.1 to SS. Yesterday afternoon his Majesty held a Privy Council at Brighton. Tee following rumour was in circulation yesterday in the city: it is so much at variance with the information which we published yesterday on the best authority, that we are convinced that it is either wholly untrue or a gross exaggeration of some petty affair : we give it, however, in the terms in which it was reported :—Letters dated the 15th of March were received yesterday from Oporto.— They state that a party of the vanguard of Rego's army, unsupported either by cavalry or artillery, bad fallen in, bear Chaves, with a detachment of the troops of Asia ratite well provided with both, and having had the tenie rity, under die influence of the enthusiasm inspired by •their late sucees►es, to hazard an engagement with a force with which they were wholly unfitted to contend, were surrounded and inhered a total defeat. This disas ter is not supposed to have affected the welfare of the ;satin body of the Amoy under Rego's command, though gtAtES MAN. TH : it is difficult, and indeed scarcely possible, to reconcile it with the accounts received by way of Lisbon, that Ama tante had fled into Spain.—(.lforning paper.) Another paper, referring to the same statement, dis credits it altogether, both because it is known that on the 12th of March, D'Amarante had offered to jive him self up to General Rego on condition that his life should be spared, and which offer was refused, and because in telligence from Lisbon of the 13th March, announces that Chaves, the only strong hold in possession of the rebels, had been taken by the Constitutional Army. The mail now due may be hourly expected, and by it the real state of affairs in . Portugal will be communicated. NURVIBURO, MARCII O.—Extract from a private letter. —" According to our adrices from Vienna, the Austrian Ambassador at Petersburgh had received from his Govern ment, instructions to support the negocistions commenced by the British Minister, Sir Charles Begot, With the Russian Cabinet, and which have for their object the maintenance of peace in the South of Europe. It is nevertheless added. that the Court of Vienna has declared, that in the case ofl Russia not adhering to the political system of England, Austria cannot dispense with the fultllmeut of the obligations imposed on her by her alliance with the Cabinet of Peters 'burgh, as well as by the particular conventions concluded• between the great Powers at the Congress of Verona. It is still asserted that the Emperor of Russia wishes that the same course should tie pursued with respect to Spain as was adopted towards Naples and Piedmont in 1821, v:iich sake it be presumed that Sir C. Begot will fail in his ef forts to change the system of the Cabinet of Petersburgh." Yesterday his Excellency Baron Wertber, Envoy . Ex traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of Prussia, jointly with Mr. N. M. Rothschild,snd accompanied by Mr. Bonnet, Notary Public, cancelled and deposited in the Bank of England, the amount of Forty 'fliousand Five Hundred Pounds Special Bonds of the Prussian Loan, negotiated by Mr. N. M. Rothschild , in London, being he first half of the sum fixed for the redemption of bonds in the fifth year, and also the sav ing of interest on the five hundred and nine thousand two bundr, d pounds redeemed to the Ist of April, 1823. The Duke of Clarence has notified his intention of honouring the Port Admiral at Chatham, Sir Benjamin w Halloell, with a visit at his residente , Boles, Hill, Ro• chester, about the 12th of April, when his Royal High ness purposes to be present at the launch of the Prince Regent. Several members of the Board of Admiralty are also expected at the launch of that fine ship. — (Kentish Gazette) The Chancellor and Lady Manners have issued cards of invitation for dinner on Friday next. We under stand that his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant is to b e among the guests.—(Dublin Morning Post of Facade!' ) 111 r. Gaarrax.—An at•ack having been lately made upon the character of the late Right Honourable Henry Grattan, in the Dublin Erening Mail, his son, Mr. Henry Grattan, briefly answered it in the Dublin Freeman's Journal, in which he charged the Author and Editor with having "deliberately published a wicked and scan dalous falsehood." To this answer, a reply has been published in the Dublin Evening Mail, threatening per sonal violence. A Meeting of the Clergy of the North Ridiere of Yorkshire was held at Thirsk, on the 24th ult., when a Petition against the Roman Catholic Claims was carried by a majority of 20 to 10. The Petition was moved by Mr. Young, of Wiling, and seconded by Mr. Willis. A counter-petition was proposed by Mr. Sydney Smith, and supported by Mr. Wiliam Vernon. Mr. Archdeacon Wraugham spoke in favour of conciliatory measures to , wards the Roman Catholics. The Yarmouth, Keaghley, of Liverpool, from Campea chy for London, was totally lost the 9th of Jan., off Bon cass, Cape Salem, (Spanish Main.)—Crew saved. CONTEST FOR THE ALDERSIANIC GOWN.—It is expect ed that the contest, at the approaching election of as Alderman for Langbourn ward, to serve in the place of Sir John Earner, decease'', will be very warmly maintain ed upon the part of all the candidates. A deputation from the most respectable and affluent inhabitants of the ward waited upon Rowland Stephenson, Esq., the bank er, of Lombard-street, for the purpose of ascertaining whether he would undertake to represent the ward, and having received an answer to their wish,an active canvass' was immediately commenced; and the report says that the efforts in favour of his return will, in all prObabili- 1 iv, prove successful. The other candidates are filr. Key, the stationer, who, we believe, once before put up for the gown, and Sir Francis Desanges, who is already knows to the public as having served the office of Sheriff for the city of London. Mr. Stephenson, unfortunately, labours under a disadvantage which it may be possible to act upon very much to his prejudice in the election. He is not a freeman of the city of London; and before he cats be elected, it is indispensably necessary that he should become one. There is a regulation with respect to the choice of an alderman, against which there are heavy ' complaints, but which it has never been attempted to im prove. A very few days after a vacancy takes place, the election must follow. The election most take place so Tuesday. A court of alderman is appointed in the ca lendar for the same day, and many of the aldermen are absent from town, so that the friends of the other candi dates may calculate upon the chance that no court will sit, except the Lord Mayor takes care to issue his notice, and thus provides that fair play be shown to all parties. Mr. Stephenson it was who made the vigorous stand Is Cornwall against one of the creatures of the Duke of Newcastle, and was within four or five votes of plain the election for one of the notorious boroughs. ST. BRIDE'S CHURCH, FLEET STREET.—St. Bride's Church having suffered by the fire in 1666, and was re built in the year 1680, from the designs of that chaste and elegant architect, Sir Christopher Wren. The most striking feature in the outward appearsnee of this church is its beautiful tower and well proportioned spire of delicate and scientific construction ; the lofty tower forms a basehigher than the neighbouring house% from which rises a cubical spire of the Corinthian order. the elevation of which is 2J4 feet, being 32 feet more than that of the Monument. On entering at the western porch, which is peculiarly elegant in its proportions, we noticed a most effective al teration in the opening which has been made in the dome, whereby sufficient light is derived from the tower to display to advantage the massive enrichments and ge neral architectural beauties of this entrance. The general appearance of the interior is such as pro duces an extremely grand and imposing effect ; the dila pidated altar piece, as well as the paintings of Moses and Aaron, have been removed to make way for a noble win dow and surrounding architectural embellishments, that' combine lightness with solidity. The space at present occupied by the window, now covered by temporary painted blinds, is intended to be filled by a copy of the celebrated painting of the descent of our Saviour from the Cross, by Reubens, at the Ca thedral Church at Antwerp; the dimensions of this paint ing will be 20 by 13 feet, and it is now in a tolerablelstate of forwardness. The north and south galleries have been lengthened about 18 feet, and sow extend the entire length of the church. The whole of the lead lights bare been re• moved for the substitution of cast iron, and the glare of unhruken light is somewhat relieved by insterticial ground glass. The pews are lined throughout with a wa t ere d inorine of a very rich puce colour; indeed, the arrangements in tniuntim bare been attended to with every consideration of propriety. It may be ne cessary to observe, that the Church will be lighted by gas, trout sixteen double branches, suspende 1 in the galleries from the crown of each arch, and below, in a parallel line; by this means the light will he more equally diffused, than if it emanated, as it usually dues, from a collective body in the centre. ABSENTEES. TO ?NZ IDITOR Of Tnic STATICSHAN. Sin,—lt would appear strange that no tax is laid np- I on individuals who, after having torn the country to pieces to make money, go and spend that money in France. This, I say, would appear strange if we did not know that individuals do not like to tax themselves. — Mechanics and artificers are restrained from leaving the country, because the country would be a loser. Dues it not then inj ure the country for individuals to take away the money in large quantities to spend abroad ? possessed of a thousand a year each, would not on an average lay by snore than two hundred. There would be then 8001. expended out of IDOOL, The intrinsic va lue of the necessary articles they purchase, would not be more than 4001.; for labour in producing the necessary articles, 3001.; taxes 1001. By such individual spending his money abroad, the country loses 40U1. altar, or four tenths of his income. Three hundred pounds egpended in labour would employ eight working hands. Tile peo ple of the class to which I allude have been delighted and almost intoxicated witli the fun they have formerly had at home. They have had wars, to put down Jacobin ism in France, and wars to endeavour to put down Ame rican Independence; they have hunted down Reformers at home in all kinds of ways; they have had the spy awl dungeon system ; they have had prosecutions, and they have had executions. They have enjoyed every kind of unnatural luxury, in a political way, that the most capricious apietites could desire; and now, they wish to skulk away . without paying their share of the cost. Suppose a company of twenty persons have a sup per, and the majority of them agree to have plain joints and beer ;—but suppose a hectoring fellow, possessed of property and assurance, has influence to persuade them to have a sumptuous regale of poultry, pastry, and other delicacies, and to drink expensive wines? Would it be just when the bill was brought in of twenty pounds, fur the hectoring fellow to skulk off, directly the supper was over, without paying any share of the reckoning ? Would it not be expected that he would psy more than his share ? that he would make a suitable apology. saying, " tfentleinen, I am convinced that I have over persuaded you to launch into greater extravagance than you intended, or that your pockets will afford. As such, I think that I can do no less than pay one-fifth of the bill, which is four pounds, for your kindly indulging my extravagant propensities."-1 have merely thrown out these few hints, in the hone that a much eb!cr pen than mine will do justice to le subject. SPITALONIA. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. " Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, ai Cower, dated 2d instant: " I have seen a Pagsenocr in the noncom, who went in the Portuguese ship, Carolina, from Manilla to China ; he informs me, that the Regent was off Manilla, on Oct. 29, (lie saw her very near the port.) with loss of rudder, that a gale of wind came on which drove her on the Coast of China, and that when he left Macau on the 27th Nov. it was reported that she was then on the coast.

(PROM TUB DUBLIN PREEMAN'S JOURNAL.) A letter received in town yesterday (Sunday, the 30th nit.) from a gentleman who went over to Holyhead ape cially for the purpose of making enquiries relative to this deplorable event, confirms the accounts which have been laid before the public in all the main particulars. It states, that the vessel struck at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, on the West Mouse Rock, about a mile and a half from the shore; she was then drilling with the tide at the rate of ten knots as hour ; when approaching the rock, the men were put into the boat to tow her off, but to no effect—she struck and went down in about three quarters of an hour. In the mean time nine of the deck passengers, and one cabin passenger (a Liverpool watch maker), leaped from the bowsprit into the boat. The captain leaped overboard, and was lashed to its helm. They were landed 10 miles nearer to Liverpool than Ho lyhead, Our excellent friend Ilore, who was in the ca bin when slid vessel struck, got on deck; and wag the only one (except Mr. M'Kenzie, who escaped) who re tained his self-possession. He continued in the packet while any hopes remained, throwing out buckets of water, and was seen afterwards attached to a crate of eggs in the water, by a deck passenger, who was on the same crate. lie remained clinging to it for about fifteen minutes, and exclaimed aloud, Oh GOD! is there no hope of relief?" At the expiration of a quarter of an hour lie let go his hold and sunk to tine no more. The man who was on the crate with him says, he dial not-seem completely exhausted at the time. In ten minutes after Our dear friend went down, the boat which rescued M'Kenzie and the two deck passengers, reached the crate. No trace has been discovered of Mr. Elore's body. The gentleman mho went to Holyhead travelled above 10 miles along the shore and left an accurate description of his person to every respectable individual along the line. If his remains should be washed ashore, communication will immmediately be made to his afflicted friends in Dublin, to whom it would be some consolation to recover and pay the last sad duties to his mortal remains. No bodies were found after the first day. The boats from Holyhead picked up 29 bodies, all deck passengers, except three, viz.—a gentleman who hid a bill in his pocket, drawn by Messrs. Ferrier and Pollocks, of Dublin, and sup posed to be Mr. W. Martin's nephew; a lady who had letters in her pocket directed, Mrs. at Mr. Alder man M'Kcnny's, and a lady (name unknown) with a child at her breast. It is consolitary to he enahleil to state, Mr. Wigton was not on board the Alert. That gentleman sailed by the Holyhead packet on Wednesday morning. . We can also state, on the best authority, that Mr. Coote, the gentleman wi, is mentioned in an evening pa per to have left the Hibernian Hotel for Liverpool, on board the Alert, did net sail in that ill-fated vessel, al though his name nes b.rolced, Mr. Coote hiving been prevailed upon to change his mite, which he according . ly did, and left the above hotel for Holyhead on Tars . day morning. We therefore hasten to contra•iiet the re port of his being one of the unhappy sufferers, and to re lieve the minds of that gentleman's friends. Mr. Benson, of Bachelor's-walk, is another person who was, as stated in some of the evening papers, to lime sailed in the Alert. We are authorized to say, that Mr. Benson was not iu that packet. He also, fortunately, went by the Head. (FROM Tag DUBLIN MORNING POST OP TOSSDAT) It is supposed the following women and children were on board the Alert packet, as their passage was paid to , Liverpool, on Tuesday afternoon the 2.5 th ult , by order of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, out of wages forfeit ed by two disorderly servants :—Mary •Anneitirk, Ma ry's-lane ; Eleanor Burke, and four children; Bridget Coleman and three children ; going to their respective husbands in Manchester and London. The last two sup posed from Connaught. SPOItTI6. --el.:- EASTER VONDIY.—On F.ar.er Monday the Grang ual Hunt took place, which was attended by the k: e st field of sportmen of all ranks that has been this s-ason. at Farnham Common. Soon after ten o'clock a fine deer was turned out of the cart, which set off with great swift ness across the country to tie right of Amerstorm. I t the cetore of the chafe the hounds lot scent of a fox: which they followed for tome time, and by so do' n t th deer got a great way a-head, and they set re obliged to take the hounds back.

Ytst•rday they turned out a fine titer near Saltily, anti td-morrow for the last time thisseason, they turn out at Belliont, near Hounslow Heath. MATCH TO DO FIFTY MILE. IN FIVE flourts.--This match was undertaken yesterday morning over a piece of ground of ten miles, at Hilted, nean,Eppitir, for one hundred pounds. Mr. Jeffery, a dealer, undertook to ride a cob horse, fourteen hands and a half, and TO carry twelve stone, in the said time.

This task be aceeni• plisied in three hours and live minutes, running i:.s the coaches all the time, at the rate of . sight macs .its hour. There were fewer woodcocks emigrated to Eoglaui last winter, than fur several years past, which is thus acconnte.l for. It seems their eggs arc becoming a gre it 'usury in Sweden, and the peasants offer them fur sale in grea; quantities in the market at Stockholm. BONERS.—SPRING AND NEATK.—The haekersof Nera were very slow at making the fifty to the hundred, at Oa Castle, Holborn. Spring's money was ready, but Neate's was carefully laid down, and that with muck chaffing. — Spring left Mr. Hancock's in Little-street, St. dames 's street, on Tuesday, for Brighton, in training. lie will return to his old training place at Reigate in a fortnight. Neate has turned performer on the boards of the Bath Theatre to err with a insti named Santy, in Turn and Jerry, at a libetal salary. Some dislike this sort of training.

Ge neral's ruin ply bull afforded some excellent sport yester day at the live mile slab on the Plgeware-road, some of the best-bred buffers had the wind tossed oe: of theta. The fancier: mustered strong, and a sub• scription purse fur a tight was soon got together, and it produced a very merry one between IMMO an t Kilburn Turn (Isle travelling name.)
