The DNIT:SK Pn gas commenced publishing yesterday morning at five o'clock. LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1821. The Przneh Papers of Wednesday and the Eloile of Thursday reached our office last night. They contain Mile of any public interest. The leading contents of the fifoniteur and Etoile will be found underneath. 'From the Moaitrur of Wednesday, Jan. 144 The of part contains only the notes of an audience given by his Majesty to the Chevalier Brito, Portuguese Ambassador Es. traordinary to the Court of the Netherlands, who is appointed Charge d'Affaires of Portugal till the arrival of the Ambassador, whom the Court of Lisbon intends to send to his Majesty. (lion-official Part) PARIS, JAX. 13. We learn from Nimes that the Royal tribunal is going to bring to trial Roque and twelve other persons, who are accused of crimes against the internal security of the Suitt, of rebellion against the Den d'armerle, and of attempts to murder the Gend'armes who were engaged in the exercise of their functions. There are no news by express relative to the health of Pope Leo XI I. Letters of the 29th of December, which have been re ceived by the ordinary courier, say that hopes are still entertained of the recovery of Lis Holiness. A letter from Rome, of the 29th ult. announces that Cardinals , Spinucci, Archbishop of Benevento, and Fabeisnia Buffo, are The Bulletin of the Pkdritontess Gazette of the Id of Jannwry, says, that King Victor Emmanuel had not uperissood any huh In. convenience for some days. [From the Etoik of Thursday, Jae. lA] TaizeTC, Dic. 26. Letters from Corfu of the lath of December state, that all the English men-of-war that are cruising In the Levant have received orders to meet at Malta. The object of their meeting is an expedi. two against Tunis, the Dey persisting in his refusal to comply with the demands of the British Government, which claims the release of the Cheek slaves. On hearing this news the Tunisian vessels have quitted the Turkish squadrod in the Gulf of Lepanto, to hasten to the sod •soce of their Sovereign. It is to be hoped that this expedition will prove more decisive than that against Algiers. _ PARIS, JAY. 14. We bavc received to-day the Diario di Roma of thel9th and 31st December. It contains the following article en the health of Vie Pope:— • Ills Holiness had suffered at the end of No►ember one of those hemorrhages to which he had been subject for many years. Not. wi:hstanding the weakness it left behind, the Holy Father, whose ardent zeal for the good of religion and the State, is above all praise, would still devote his attention to it without ceasing, even in his bed. In the night of the nd the Pope had a violent suf focation. The physician found that he had a fever, and an inci. pient swelling, and applied sinsfisnis to the feet, and a blister to the neck. These remedies 'mafiosi to relieve the breast. Rome, which was as vansternation, was consoled this morning, by learning that its adored Prince was sensibly better. The fever has ceased, and the swelling is considerably reduced. On the tllith the Pope was able again to attend to business, and to give daily audiences to the Secretary of State. His Holiness is only very weak ; but it i. hoped that regular diet will strengthen him." Cardinal Spinbc.ci died at Benevento on the 21st, in his With year.

His It la! Highness the Duke of York, with a feeling that does Lonour to his heart, has come forward on the occasion. Tlte memory and nanscentlant merits of the great Erskine tat. rover be forgotten while constitutional liberty is re vered, or integrity and eloquence of the highest order va lued in this country. His monument will animate the rising generation to an imitation of his great example; his talents , and Lis virtues will survive in the hearts of Eaglishmen, when the present age has passed away and his frailties have been long forgotten. Such is the imperishable glory of the illustrious dead ! statues can add little to their fame: but they call up their remembrance daily; and while we gaze on the inanimate marble, every buried recollection rises afresh, and we again live and move amid the scenes that raised and consummated theft character. This is an idolatcvy a free people may indulge in. Among the illus trious departed of this country, the name of Erskine will long stand high, as a fearless advocate and an incorruptible public character. We were prevented by the press of matter from remark lag, in our Paper of yesterday, on the case of Brandin v. Ittoril aid others. The action was brought to recover the aim of 1331. 14s. for services performed by the plaintiff, Ile late boa-keeper of Covent-garden Theatre, for the de let:ants, the proprietors of that Tkatrc. B e fore the ease was opened, tte Lord Chief Justice suggested that it would be better to infer the ease, as it involved questions which coald not be the wish of either parties should be 4 .041ic1y discussed.—Mr. B:arlett, for the plaintiff, pro b-rad perfect readiness to acquiesce in the suggestion.— Mr. Gurney, the defendants' counsel, said, it was certainly the wish of his clients to have the matter in dispute .dis cuseed in open Court ; that, in fact, they were anxious for au opportunity of justifying thethselv . cs publicly; but that, after the intimation his Lordship had given, he would not persist in bringing on the trial at that place.— The Lord Chief Justice said, it appeared to him that a reference would be the coarse desirable for all parties. A Jury was accordingly sworn prof;o•nni, and a verdict taken for the plaintiff's subject to a reference. Naw omt this case we would remark—and the remark applies bet to too many cases that come before the Coe rt—tha; it is hiAlmly unbecom ing in a Jn•lge to be the prime mover in withdrawing a cause from the decision of a Jury, and sttimmitt:ng it to the decision of private individuals out of Court. Ile may rid himself no doubt of much trouble by ra doing, but he ought not, on that very account, to be the person with whom the rdtevnee originates. After time parties have, at a great expense, gone through all the regular process necessary to bring their cause before a Jury, and have paid heavy tees to Counsel with their briefs, the presiding Judge ought to be the last person who, after this, should, offer any sug gestion which should induce them to abandon their appeal to the public tribunal of the country, and to seek the chance of justice from secret and select arbitrators. If it had been thought proper and expedient by the parties themsrlres to have adopted this course, it was open to them to have done so before they hail incurred the very heavy, in many cases ruinous, expense of bringing the case Mere a Jury. That, at this crisis, the Judge should interfere to intercept the verdict, which, at so great cost, they had put themselvo in a condition to obtain, we consider as ex tremely reprehensible. In the present case, and it hap pens in very many cases besides the present, the Counsel for the defendants, after openly averring that it 11114 the wish of his clients fa hare the ease tried in open Court, adds, nevertheless, that, after the intimation Isms Lordship had given, he would not persist in bringing the case before a Jury. Now we do say, that no Counsel is justified in yielding to this suggestion of the Judge, in opposition to the declared will and wish of his client. It is a servile and contemptible courtesy, to which clients are too often sacrificed. An honest homage, a fair and deserved respect — all this is well. But in our courts of law we have examples that go much beyond this—a mean subserviency, a want of spirited, manly, upright independence: this has become of late too much the character of the Bar. It is in behalf of an opposite course that we want the energy and the ex ample of an Erskine. We sadly miss the followers of this honourable and spirited advocate. We live in an age of hypocrisy and cant, of chicanery and litigation. The old English habits, and with them the old English character, are fast fading away : the Senate, the Bar, the Bench—in no part are we free from infection. We have,—and this is perhaps the worst feature of the times,—a mercenary press to cajole and corrupt a niarcenary people. This is our cha racter and our condition in the mass. There are,—as there ever must be,—exceptions ; but, in spite of these, our masked characteristic is degeneracy. As it is, and with the law of libel and the Bridge-street Association staring us in the face, the aspect of timings is appalling. We ab stain from further remark at present ; but we shall shortly return to the subject. The Courier of last night has come forward with its eulogy on the prosecutors of Mr. Hunt., If the Association, of which Murray is the organ, needed any added taint of infamy to blast them in the eyes of all honest and impar tial men, it would be sure to follow from the praise of the °wrier. This paper has ever been a vile jackall in the train of corruption—its hollow bark has always announced the approach of the domestic foe. Where is the measure that has been virtuous this journal has ever applauded ? Where is there anything profligate or vile it has not eulogised and supported for years? Like Don Matthias de Sylvs, in Gil Bias, who wrote forged billets dour to him self, the Courier daily proclaims its false news and self invented intelligence to those who are weak enough to swallow it; it blows its brazen trumpet in the public way, and, while the cheeks of its mercenary are inflated with the effort, it imagines the miserable puff succeeds, and that hollow sound can be a substitute for both truth and com mon sense. If the prosecution of Mr. Hunt, as the pub lisher of Lord Byron's writings, had been one demand. d by public justice, the Crown would have come forward .on the occasion. The first Law Officer was silent ; and it is a proof he did not think the case was one that called for his interference. Let an indictment, with its numerous counts and inuendoes, be prepared, and there is no action of a man's life it may not render criminal. No publication is safe from legal sophistry, as no individual, unsupported, can stand against the array and purses of an Association with such a mercenary as Murray in its train. If all the libels the Courier has ever written against private and public character, were made the subject of in dictments, its existence would have long since ceased : if its ally, the Sunday Paper, whose trade is defamation, were prosecuted for all its nefarious slanders, its managers would consume their lives in jail, and years in place of months would be added to their prison calendar. The poem in question was in bad taste, and can add nothing to Lord Byron's fame. It was forgotten when this prosecution calls,' its memory up again, and every stanza is now in the hands of thousands. But Lord Byron's faults, whatever they were, should not havo been visited ou his publisher. It was a crusade worthy only of the gang from whom its malevolence proceeded:. all their efforts have been of the same description—they never yet flew at higher game. Has the Liberal ever been half so vile as the pages of Illackwood ? Could any thing excel the infamy of the Beacon, the Sentinel, and John Bull?. Yet these publica tions have passed, in a great degree, unnoticed ! But they are die Gazettes of Murray and his crew : their principles anti their objects are the same ; and aech a press, however licentious, publishes its slanders with impunity, while a solitary bookseller on the other side, is immediately huntol and run down. This Messrs. Murray and Adol phus call justice! TII E Porr.-11'e mil in the Lyons Universal G.mettc, that kite's from Rome, dated the 29th of December last, give very satisfactory accounts of the heairh of his lioli• EMS, Pope Leo XI I. On the other hand, the Swabian Mercury, which we received to-day (Tuesday, 13th inst.) states, on the authority of advices from Milan, dazed Dec. 31, that a courier had arrived in that town, with the noti fication of the death of the Holy Father. We have reason to hope that the Swabian Mercury is tnisinfonned.—Jour nal des Detail. IlnvANrne, Nov. 1.5.---General Morales arrived here a few days since, in the United States brig, Spark, from San tiago de Cuba. On his landing, Captain Sliubrich fired a salute. The General waited upon his Excellency the Cap triin-Gcneral a few minutes only, and was escorted .o his lodgings in a retired part of the city. It is said he must be disposed of, and that be will very soon embark for the Main. iVe arc all tranquil and healthy. A Spaniard was assassinated last night ; it is said that the act was commit ted by an American. About thirteen American seamen are apprehended, and are undergoing an investigation ; but it apitcars there is no proof against v.; vy one ; yet the Spaniards say they will take the lives of a hundred Americans in ven geance for the life of their fellow-citizen.

The Darrina was rrfonned at this theatre last evening, for the purpose of introducing Mr. Sinclair as Cal 'ha.— Did we nut take into consideration the novelty which usually attracts an audience, we should say tfiat Miss Paton divided with this gentleman thc claim to admiration which the performances of both were, calculated to create in a very high degree. Miss Paton is thc best female bra vura singer on the English stage at present; at least we know of no exception, as far as we arc able to judge from what we witness at our Wint establishments, which we take to be no unequita'ole rule of estimation. If any per son doubt the correctness of this opinion, we would refer them not only to the execution of her songs in f/vrr/ta, but also to her singing iss Cana, and particularly to that very trying test of musical talent—" adieu, Thum dreary pile!" On noeccasion did she display to greater advantake that proud vocal superiority, those brilliant powers, and pa.eeiunate and melodious tones, which delight and enchant her listeners. She ran through every variety of intonation, from the highest pitch to the lowest cadence, with a truly astonishing rapidity. All her tones were moulded accord ing to the true impulse of passion ; and there was that eons inunicaion between the words and the expression they arc intended to convey, which constitutes the true merit of song, and is, in its genuine simplicity, beyond all art. Mr. Sinclair, as Car/vs, sang with the same sweetness and taste as in OAindo. The songs are fewer and more simple than those of the Cabinet, and do not afford equal opportunities for the display of those ornamental embellishments which he has acquired by the sedulous cultivation of his talents in Italy. He was encored in " Had I a heart for jalsehuod framed," and " Love has eyes." The that is just that de scription of ballad song which is peculiarly suited to the insinuating softness of tone, which, in Mr. Sinelair's voice, is so delightfully varied and expressive. Mr. Fawcett was very comic as " cunning little Isaac," and the other parts were sustained with creditable ability. The Cabinet dinners will commence for the season on Tuesday sennight. The first will be given at Fife House by the Earl of Livcrpool. The Chancellor of the Exchequer will entertain a dis tinguished party at dinner this day, at his residence in Downing-street. Viscount Granville has a lar.e party of friends on a shooting excursion, at his seat, Wherstmd Lodge, neer Ips wich. Mi. Alexander, the new Chief Baron of the Exchequer, was a contemporary, at the bar, of the Lord Chancellor, and cannot be much his Lordship's junior in age. Mr. Bell, the King's Counsel, has retired from the Court of Chancery, and means to confine himself in future to Chamber practice. The Earl of Lonsdale is so much recovered from his late accident, as to have been able to take a ride on horse back for aeveral days past.—Slarnli/rd Mercury. The remains of the Dowager Lady Sutton (relict of the late Sir Richard Snuon,Bart., of Norwood-park), who died at her house in Upper Seymour-street, London, on the 3d inst., were deposited in Abe family vault at Averham, near Newark, au Tuesday Mt. Her Ladyship was in the 87th year of her age, and *as grandmother-in-law to the present Sir Richard Sutton, Bart.---Lincoln Mercury. 31a. Gt.auarowa.—On the Bth inst. a numerous and highly respectable meeting was held at the King's Arms, Liverpool, pursuant to a requisition signed by a number of gentlemen of all political parties, to consider of the most suitable mode of conveying some testimonial of respect to Joint Gladstone, Esq. M.l?. " for the important services rendered by him to that town on val.:,us occasions." On the motion of John Bolton, Esq. Henry Blundell Hollins- Nati, Esq. was called to the Chair. The Chairman, Mr. Bolton, and several other gentlemen, addressed the meet ing, praising in the strongest terms the exertions and con duct of Mr. Gladstone, whose was devoted to promoting the prosperity of Liverpool. A series o f molutions were passed, one of which was, that a subscription be opened for the purpose of raising a fund for the 'purchase of plate, to be presented to hint, in token of sincere respect and esteem. A subscription was immediately opened, which amounted to 8101. _ ... .- .--- MTH; JAN, 11.—Sir George Smart and Mr. Ladcr commenced their series af Concerts last night, and, not withstanding the extreme coldness of the searm, and the slippery state of the streets, the room was absolutely crowded. The attraction for the evening was Cramer s Lading, and the anal exertions of Mrs. Salmon and Messrs. Vaughan and Bellamy ; to which must be added, , the inimitable violoncello Concerto by Lindley, and his ad , inirable accompaniment to Vaughan, in the Alexis of Dr. Pepusch. On 11'ednewlay nest Sinclair is to be the brigl.: 1 evening star ; after whiell'the Theatre is to be honoured 1 with Ins presence for a few nights.—One of the 'ovate rious affairs, lately hinted at in this city, was to have 'been brought forward at the Quarter S...ssions at IVells, yester day, but the accuser traversed the indictment to the As rises in March next.

It is replrted that a %Adversity will be erected in Bruns wick. This seems the wore probable, as the University of Ifolnistadt, which formerly existed in the Duchy of Brunswick, and was very celebrated has been suppressed so many years. We understand that it is in the contemplation of the Board of Admiralty, to Wilt: a circular letter to the Lieu tenants of iris Majesty's navy, calling upon them to make a return of their ability and desire to serve, should it be necessary to order them afloat. The object of this return will be, to separate the effective from the non-effective list, so that when the s.Triees of the former may be required, it will at once be known how to obtain them. Sr. A rinse w's.—The abolition of the Scottish Commis-1 1 sary Courts took place on New Year's Ihy. In few in-! stances will this arrangement be more felt than here. The Commissariat of St. Andrew's was very extensive • it included almost the whole county of Fife, a considerable part of Forfar and Perth shires, besides several parishes in other parts of Scotland. 'l'he Court was never open; its proceedings consequently were but little known. It was, however, a relict of past greatness, and that was enough to endear it to our citizens. The measure, it will be recol lected, was wrung from the Lord Advocate (who seemed to have a kindred feeling), by the perseverance of Lord Archibald Hamilton. The business now comes within the ruisdiet.on of the Sheriff-Courts.—Searmaa.

The Capitan Pacha has arrived here, with ten ships, which are in ajery bad state; they are labouring night and day at the arsenal to refit them. The appearance of these vessels has pro duced a strong sensation amongst the people. The Divan i assembled every day, and the deliberations are said to be entirely on the subject of the Greeks. The Reis Effendi has had a conference with Lord itrangforJ; and it appears that the Porte wishes to attend to the advice of this diplomatist. The report that the English squadron ()tithe Mediterranean has gone to Tunis, to require satisfaction of the Dey fur refusing to furnish a list of the Greek slaves who were taken to Tunis by English vessels. has caused here a strong ingression. The, Christians are delighted with the measure, but this event will render the navigation of the Archipelago still more dangerous. 'l'he violent measures of the l'orte respecting the currency has caused the Exchange to fall considerably. HERMANSTATI (TRANSYLVANIA) arc. 04.

The Tribunal of Appeal of the Canton of Zurich was engaged on the Nth December r the affair of the librarian (leaner; and the sentence which condemned him to a month's imprisonment, and a line of two hundred francs, has been con6nned by a majority of one voice. The sentence points out the most reprehensible passages of the writing. It is entitled "The Defence of the Pro fessor Jahn." The librarian made himself responsible for the pub lication by not giving up the name of the author: PARIS, JAN. 13. We read in the Gazette nil:see:elle of Irons, that le• tent from Rome, of the 29th December, state that the accounts of the Pope's health are of the most satisfactory nature. Upon the other side, the 3frreure de Santee, WiliCil came to hand to-day, gives us news trout Milan of the 31st of December, that there arrived a courier in that city from Route, who announced the death of his Holiness. We have reason to hope that the latter paper is Misinformed. _ The King of Portugal has just decorated M. Candid°, &lathed to the Embassy at Pans, with the Cross of Christ. His fidelity is thus rewarded. M. Candid° had drawn upon himself the hatred of the Cu;,.,m because he had performed his duty and accompanied to Laybach the Count of Porto Sim°, the Portuguese Ambassador, as his Secretary. A dreadful event took place last night in the street of Roi de Sicile. A person named Grange, woo resided in the suret, pos sessing an excellent character, was seized with a sudden insanity, upon the death of his mother-in-law, to whom he was tenderly at tached. Upon perceiving his melanehoiy situation, his wife trest ed him wish the tenderest care, but his frenzy was so violent that he seized a large knife, and plunged it into the side of his wife, who clasped him in her anus; she saved herself and took refuge with her neighbours, and implired their assistance for herself, and particularly for her husband. The unfortunate matt closed the door, and refused to open it. The Commissary of Police arrived, and as the house was about to be entered by force, the wretched man, atter making some fruitless efforts to cut his throat, flung himself out of the window, and was killed upon the spot. The wound of the woman is slight, and no bad consequence is expected. An unfortunate man, in the Commune of Chambosy, has been crushed to death in his mill. He has left a widow and eight help less children. _ .... [From the Constilutimincl.l CONSTAVTINOPLE, DEC. 10. All the measures respecting gold and silver cause the greatest anxiety here.

It is probable that the Five per Cents. of this city, which circulate in London and Paris, will soon rise to the sa u te height as the Austrian Funds of Milan. Bars,:Ets, JAN. 10. A meeting of the Committee of Vaccination toot place at a splendid feast on the Bth, at fiend, to celebrate the anniversary of the discovery of Jenner, and its introduction into this country by the respectable physician, Demanet. It appears, that in spite of .the zeal sad care of the Csiamittee, the -pox has shown itself in some of the streets of the city, but the fixing of a placard to the infected houses, and other healthful measures resortod to by the magistracy, have had a good effect. The malady has not spread, and there is reason to hope for its speedy disappearance. PERPIGNAN JAN. S. The Staff of the army of Barcelona arc established ' fur the mo ment at Garcia, situated almost under the cannon of Barcelona, and all the troops of Baron d'Eroles occupy the adjacent villages. Some think that the object of his position is to place an imposing force In that quarter ; according to others, this movement was rendered ne cessary by the bad disposition of custom-house officers, who were organised into corps, and of a part of a regiment of Soria, who did not wish to surrender their arms until they reached their own I homes, lest they should be murdered on the march. 'What is cer tain is, that the greatest confusion reigns in all Catalonia, where the Royalists command. The Alcade of Reuss has been murdered, as well as the Alcade of Palls. The Alcade of Abisbal wished to put an era' to all the robberies that infest his commune. fie voured to employ the Royalist militia of Abisbal for the purpose ; but he did rot succeed. The attempt, however, terrified their ache. rents of the... Males, and on the 28th ot' the last month various bands arose and disarmed the Royalist militia. So that this part of the pro. since is entirely at the aurey of independent bands, composed of the lowest of the party of the Faith. Though the severest system of police is observed at Barcelona, It does rot prevent persons who travel by eight from bring robbed end sometimes murdered. rpon the ill st of December, a gentleman, aceomptuzied by his wife, was assailed by three petsons, each c9vercd with a large mantle. One of the assailants held up a lantern, to be sure that he had the proper victim, but finding his mistake, he retired, saving it was not him. It is to be hoped that the King's Government will take all I measures to rerore the . public tranquillity in Catalonia, and that this tranquillity will bring civilization into a country where so many circumstances at present concur to cstabLs t Ignorance and ! barbarism.

The Efoilr attacks the winners of the people of England on the subject of the boxing-match which has taken place in the vicinity of London. The same journal recites with pleasure the details of a bull fight, in which a dozen of these animals were killed, seven. teen horses gored, and many men wounded. Every nation hrs its habits, and it is not proper to censure those of one when those of another are commended. There is this difrerence between England and Spain, that in the former country it is the lower class of the people that tieck to a savage spectacle ; and in the latter the Coun itself.does nut disdain to waist at a barbarous show.
