A private letter, which appears in one of them, from Aix-la-Chapelle, states that the differences which subsisted between Sweden and Denmark, relative to the performance of the Treaty of Kiel, have been submitted to the Congreqs, and there decided. By the sixth article of that Treaty, the King - of S*IIDEN charges himself with a part of the public debt of the Daniell Monarchy, proportionate to the population and revenues of Norway b the amount of which was sub sequently to be determined by Commissioners. Commisioners were in consequence appointed by both parties, but they could not come to an agree ment. The amount is determined by the Congress,. but has not been as yet made public. The French Funds have suffered a trifling fall since the former accounts. The Five per Cents. were on Monday, 69 r. lo c. ; flank Stock, 1,560 f. It is understood that the ill-success of the Expe dition fitted out in the early part of this year for the discovery of the North Pole, will not deter the Lords of the Admiralty from venturing a similar Expedition in the course of the ensuing spring. It undoubtedly belongs to a great naval and mer cantile Power, as Great Britain is, to make every fair and national effort to extend the limits of sum field and geographical science, and to attempt the achievement of an object so universally desired ; but considering the unsuccessful experiments that have been repeatedly made, and particularly the last, which vets undertaken with every advantage that could be afforded by enthusiasm, skill, and intre pidity, we cannot entertain the remotest hope of ever Teeing a similar enterprise crowned with success. From the accounts that have been comminvicated to their friends and the public, by individuals en gaged in the Dorothea and Trent, it is very mani fest that the flattering pictures drawn by the over heated imaginations or abused credulity of many persons in this country, respecting the absence of ice in the Northern Seas, were the crude offspring of fancy, and that an icy barrier ►till encloses the eastern coast of Greenland, and, indeed, prevents the possibility of an advance to the North beyond the Both degree. The two ships found nature in those bleak and desolate regions clothed in the same repulsive garb she had ever presented to all previous natigators, whose accounts were deserving of credit; the field ice was as firm and impenetrable, and the floating ice as dangerous and variable, as it had ever been on any former It has been said, that the late Expedition failed rather from the accident that betel the Dorothea, than front any obstacles opposed by nature that might not be surmounted ; but this untoward ac cident was the consequence of the too daring in trepidity of her Cotnniander ; and if it had ;lot happened at one moment, aid in one situ ition, the same accident, or one still more tremendous, must, from the'general aspect of nature in that region, and the terrific char:too. of the roll., have been anticipated at no great distance of tape tinder other circumstances. We arc tol , l that the return of the Isabella and the Alexander, cott►posing the other Lraneh of the ' -grand Expedition, is not to be considered a failure. We admit that the word." failure." considered as absolute and total, might he too strong an exprer •ion us applied to the return of these ships; but at the same time we conceive the term " suc cess" to be no less inapplicable. We w e ll remem ber, while the ships were in the act of being equip ped. the elaborate statements which appeared iu a periodical Journal, emanating) if general report were to be credited, from the Admiralty itself which hail for their object to prove the ferailrility of reaching the Pole, and the existence of a point of union by Davis' Streits between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. These statements, by shewing the impressions entertained at the time within the precincts of the Admiralty, likewise evinced the hopes that were indulged, and may therefore be re. ceived almost as conclusive proof of the exact ob ject proposed by the Expedition. Many interest ing discoveries may have been made—many goes tious of geography may have been set at rest; but the very point attained, namely, that Beffitex Bay is proved, by accorate observati ~,,, to be a bay, establishes the fact, that the hopes of those wl.o de vised the Expedition have been disappointed.-- This. therefore, if not • " failure," must at least he considered as approaching very close to it. The early chemists who sought the philosopher's stone, were far from being reconciled to their dis appointment by the many valuable discoveries they made in chemistry during their visionary pursuit ; and while the object of their fondest search con tinued to baffle their art, no minor attainment, particularly should it prove the vanity of their exertions, could be regarded in the light of " suc cess." We lament. extremely, the failure of the Expedition; and though we may entertain fears that the ships dispatched in the next year sill be eqiially unsuccessful, we should at the same time be e. ry unwilling to throw interruptions in the way of the enterprise. Much interest is attached to the discovery of a station inhabiting between the latitudes 7ti. and 78. who are reported to have " thought that the world to the south was all ice, and of whom gem tattoo had succeedst! generation without their tasting the fruits of the earth." Ass Evening Paper, with interesting simplicity, expresses a hope that Captain Ross will let the world know how such • nation obtained the maim of existence without tasting the fruits of the earth. IVithout having the advantage of a peep at the Captain's Journal, we shall venture to inform our admiring contemporary that this nation probably found the means of ea. istence in killing bears and seals, and catching fish, in a manner very like that penned by th►e Wm. bitants of Lapland and Greenland. It is not stir. prising that this people, surrounded by immense harriers of ice, should believe every thing beyond their own immediate vision to be ice also. and where vegetation must be wholly interrupted, it was to be expected that the miserable beings inhabiting such to clime should never have tasted " the fruits of the earth." We do not anticipate any details respecting them which will exhibit a state of existence very different from that of the Laplander. The extent of their ides* can easily be imagined by a consideration of those scenes of nature which latitudes so far north must present, and with which alone these poor creatures can be familiar, An affected importance is attempted to be attached to this discovery, in a notice respecting it published in the Treasury Journals, wherein it is said that " the chief, of this people had hitherto supposed themselves to be monarchs of the uni verse." IVhat • pomp of expression ! Chiefs and monarchs are fine-sounding words, and imply a state of cis ilization *deduced beyond the first rude principles of society. But can it be imagined that in such a place as that, where this " nation" is said to ix discovered, any ►hing like eivilis-stion could exist ? The " nation" will no doubt prove to be a few wretched families huddled together, each too anxious about the attainment of the scanty means of prolonging their precarious existence to entertain a thought of governing the others.

" )(..rl f. dOiatt Oti THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. Last night was revived the Comedy of Lore Makes a Man or, The Fop's Fortune. The Se. lectson of this play for revival was a very unfortu nate one, and we are miller at a loss to conceive what motives could have led to it. It is certain that it is devoid of almost every quality that can re commend a dramatic production. The story, frosn beginning to end, is at variance with any appear once of probability ; the incidents are so strange, and, coming so thickly, so far beyond the reach of common experience. that the actors in such extra ordinary 'crises cease to excite any interest or sympathy. in one play. and that a comedy, we have a combat between a pair of brothers, a duel, a threatened strangling. and a shipa reek —not to mention the minor train of " hair-breath 'scopes and moving accidents." This extravagance in the plot is not redeemed by strength of colouring or consistency in the character., wit in the language, or humour in the dialogue; but, least of all, can this play pretend to render its spectator's wiser or better, or to leave one piece of moral iiistructiou on the mind —on the contrary, it *hounds not only with single words, but *hole sentences, calculated to put modesty to the blush, and, in one at least of its occurs, vice is dressed out in a bevy alluring attire. The play, iu short, is a tissue of ienproba bility, insipidity, and (tenth obliges us to add) in delicacy. Its own flatness and dulness, however, were helped out by some excellent acting. and it was tolerably well received. Mrs. WEST performed Angelina with great deli cacy mid feeling. Mr. PEN LEY rendered (Indio, the fop. what lie certainly is not himself, a very amusing personage. The perpetual motion" of his limb., sod whiffling activity of his body, were most appropriate accotnpaiiiments of that inanity of intellect. and nothingness or character, which is the most essential attribute of the respectable species he represented. His constant attention to, and ad jostnieist of, the little parts of his dress, added to the incessant affected use of Isis snuff-box sod eye glass, would in common life immediately point nut a foolish and impertinent coxcomb. Mr. PEN LET also delivered lets share of the dialogue with a conceited air. and glib careless manner, perfectly in character. His performance was deserving of very high praise; and, with Mr. MUNDEN'S Una Lewis. relieved the piece of much of its in trinsic heaviness. One could scarcely conceive that the latter part was capable of no mulch importance, oddity, and humour, as it assumed in . Mr. Aliqt- DEN', hands. The honest, }food-natured tone of Mr. MI:EDENS voice expressed all the warns kind ness of //on / saris. and the strength of Its Wee bon for his uepliew, while his hand* and atirtfcame instinctively to the assistance of his easily irritated temper. Ilia acting drew forth a continual laugh. Mr. H. KENBLE delivered the sentimental speeches of the book-worm Carlos with becoming gravity. Mr. WATKINIMN was sufficiently positive and testy iu Gharino. Sancho was played very judiciously by Mr. COWEL L. COVENT-GARDCN. The tragedy of Adelgitha was last night per formed... awl, excellently supported as it was, com moulded inueli praise. .4 new afterpiece, entitled Si: Physicians, or The Patient carried off, followed, and woe received with shonte of dis-approbation. It is a very poor attempt, to externd to three individuals that degree of character, which had, in other dramas, been cor.. fined to one. Ili this piece a Gentleman is eni - mewed of a yomig Lady. and the Lady is assailed by her Guardian; the Guardian has, to accomplish his purpose. endeavoured to make her believe she is ill, for a considerable time. To carry on his scheme. he orders three doctors to attend. They arrive; but the lover, his servant, and his uncle, by means of a cumiing servant, clothe the physicians in garbs quite emulate to their profession, while they pro ceed to the Guardian. in the character of phy sicians. The Lady, of course. comes its contact with her lorer, lie being disguised, and agrees to all his prescriptions. The piece ends with a gene ral reconciliation of the parties. Under circum stances of success, we would willingly enter into a full description and delineation of a drama. The present was, however, so ill received, that it is unlikely again to be brought before the public. W e may therefore be excused if we dignms it, tidying. that the performers did their utmost to esippoi t it; but, corkish as they were, they could not buoy up such an iuimetise mass of brick and mortar! From a late description of a fugitive young lady. her friends hoped that they hid traced her to 11 certain house in the vicinity of Russell-squire; hot. nn inquiry. it proved a mistake. and that the presumed lair one was the master. a first-rate Dandy, who was seen at the window lacing his stays.

Tilt latter boxer (who styles hitnaelf the Champion of England) is lately 'climbed from My tour on the Continent, and, it should seem, was so inflaftd and puffed op with conceit from the applause be had met with from the great melts at Aix.la-Chapelle, that he annoyed every company he went into with his pelf-praise, and his challenge to fight ney man is lb. world. This conduct, it appears, was carried to such esteem en Thursday evening last, at a micel house in the neighboarhood of Chancery-lame, where Richmond was present, that some broad hints were given of putting bin, out of the room. The bare thought of this sort of degrade lion raised Carter's choler to a great height, had being what is shingly termed lathy, a tstru-up ultimately was the conse quence between him and the Man of Colour in the yard he. lunging to the house. lo the course of three or four rather bustling rounds, the Lancashire hero could not make any play, hut bad the worst of it ; and Richmond with one of his desperate right-handed hits (for which he is so distinguished io the ring), planted so successfully upon the upper works of Carter, which nut only chanceried him, brought furtb the claret, bat floored the milling hero of Aix.la.Chapelle, with all the cele rity of a abut. The skirmish was over, sod Carter retired, not covered with glary, but something more like scespisig over the stupidity of the frame, and the folly of intemperance, while Richmond returned with all the won-chaltume possible, to finish the evening over his sober Aeavpsret.
