Accounts from Colmar to the 10th of January, in the German Papers received by us yesterday, state the report of the Opposition Deputies, Messrs. d'Argenaoo, George Lafayette, and Berrien, Representatives Its the last Chamber fee the departmeht of the Upper Rhine, being About to be summoned before the local tribunal at All kirk, on account of their memorable letter circulated in that department, on the expulsion of the undaunted Manuel, and which assigned to their constituents their reasons for withdrawing themselves from the outraged Chamber, and taking subsequently no part in its deliberations. Every opposition possible will now be given to the return of the Opposition Hepatic. to the new Chamber ; and a proceed ing of this sort is purposely adopted at such a period. Manuel will moat probably be re-eleeosl, and again ex pelled by the violence of the Royalists, and the Chamber will a second time &Timm a scene of violence and armed outrage. The Special' ar (h-ienhil, the apologist of the fe rocious Turk, and of the worst atrocities of that bar barous power, under date of the 'lath Novembei, affects to give a most gratifying picture of the situation of hapless Scio: according to this wretehol Journal, that island enjoys perfect tranquillity; that is, the quiet of the grave, the peace of the church-yard, and the si lence of the tombs. The impartiality of the Smyrna Journal is well known and appreciated ; this Paper has latterly become very moderate and philanthropic ; twelve months sitter it denounced the Greeks as irk's, whose necks must fall tri the scymitar and bow-string, without hope or commiseration : at present, however, its tone is completely subdued. " Humanity now (this Paper says) " list no wish to fonn but that of seeing the Greek revs)- " lotion terminated, not violently, but in a Manner that " nay content both the Turks and the Greeks. Many " pily (it modestly adds) the accomplishment of this wish "is nernate." It is indeed. So far sac agree with the writer of this article. A consummation of this sort is one the managers of the Smyrna Paper aloue ran contemplate ; nobody beside Is insane enough vireo to think of it. The Grerksi can be contented with nothing short of absolute independence: the Turk aims at nothing short of universal extermination ; he would reign amid the silence of sur rounding death sooner than cease to govern by a code of ferocious oppression. The Smyrna Journal adds, that "it " is the history, and not the romance, of the Greek rent " lotion they have undertaken to write." But this Jour nal, the hireling Gazette of the Mussulinen, never will be referred to for the h'story of the teor:ous efforts for liberty of the Greeks. Their actions will I e recorded by other pens, and be known and remembered in their great rt ault and their unparalleled effect, when the calumnies of the Smyrna defamer are long forgotten. New York papere to the "Sth of Dreenther, and Boston paper* to the 23(1, reached us yesterday. The former con tain denten:a intelligence to the 49th of November, anal the Culumbiann of Caraccas to the 21nli. In the lint there is nothing of any inter it ; the latter gives the details of the surprise and capture of Puerto Cebdlo, the Last strong hold of the Spaniards in Colombia. There is nut now a Spanish 1:::ltlier in open hostility throughout the whole extent of that Republic--it is completely frzr. Porto Cabello (as we knew before), was taken by stratagem and surprise ; the independent troops having, for the maid of small newts, forded e lake, and crowed a marsh in the night. The royalists wen. completely 'unwired and overpowered ; they appear to have fought. however, with great bravery, Litt fell almost to a man. late tale of indiscriminate car nage of women and children, is dealt d in the Colombian paper ; the writer of the account says he was an eye witue..s of due scene, and neither saw women mar children injured ; that, on the contrary, great tenderni sot and hu manity were exhibited by the pan „a troops. The loss of the Sp ottier& was about one hundred and fifty men.

The Creole, so enviously expected, has at length arrived from Rio Janeiro, and brought letters to the 2eth of No vember; they detail the monstrous outrage committed on the Brazilian representatives, and the sudden deportation of five members to Europe: the remaining deputies from the provinces, it is stated, demanded their passports, but they were refused. The Congress, consisting of fifty-two individuals, lent from the fifteen provinces of the coast, into which Brazil is divided, when assembled and de liberating on Constitution for that extended empire, was suddenly surrounded by Dori Pedro's troops, and dissolved by his mandate. Cromwell, in the some way, got rid of the fanatic Parliament of his day ; ■nd Napoleon, with his grenadiers, at a later period, dissolved the Council of Ancients and Five Hundred. Brazil is now completely subject to the will of its dtspot, and kept in awe merely by Dun Pedro's armed bands: such a state of things is not likely to last longer in Brazil than it did in Mexico ; the tyrant's supremacy rests on an uncertain basis, and will be shaken by the first com motion of popular discontent. Numbers in Brazil arc at tached to a republic, and we are convinced such a go vernment will be the ultimate fate of that fine country. It does not yet appear what the imperious despot's motives were for the sudden dissolution of the Congress and the arrest and exile of its bailing members--whether the outrage proceeded from the intrigues of Portugal, urged by his restless mother and the faction now in power, or that Don Pedro was determined, with the assistance of his troops, to be Absolute, and trample on every thing like a emst!tudon in time country ;—whatever his motives were, they appear to have been suddenly adopted. In the Dior& of the Wei of November, Sebastian Luiz Tinoco, appointed Minister of Finance only ten days before, is permitted to re sign his office. On the 45th of November, the same Journal contains the tyrant's decree, displacing Da Costa Banos from his office of Minister of Marine, to which he had been named only three short days before. Acts such as these rival the I splice of a Caligula or Nero. These mandates are fol lowed by an order, through the Secretary of State for the Department of Justice, obliging the Intendant-General of Police to embark for Europe, on board a vessel to be fitted out for the purpose, Antonio de Souza Viers, and his fa mily, confined in the fort of Ills du Cobros, and declar ing that he should summon Paulo Jordan, Bernardo de Reis, and Henriques Garcs T, to appear before him, and in timate to them that they have to quit the dominions of Bra zil within the space of 90 days, for any port in Europe they may choose. This decree is dated from the palace at Rio, the 15th of November. On the 21st the merchant vessel Livonia sailed, avowedly for Havre de Grace, having ou board the three Andrade', Padre Belehior, Rocha, with two of his suns, and Montezuma, another deputy, with their fami lies—all suddenly exiled and torn from their homes and pursuits by the despot's power. On the same day appeared an order from the new Minister of \Par, Gomez da Silviera Mendents, removing the embargo laid eight days pre viously on all ve,sels, both national and foreign. All restrictions became unnecessary; the new order of things having been scicomplished. The government of Brasil, it appears, was treating for a loan of two millions anti a half, to be raised in this country, pledging the reveduct of the provinces for the payment. The trade at RIO was cry great ; this is not to be wondered at, from the int mense resources+ of Brazil, now the richest country of the New World; and if a settled order of things existed id that empire, any loan, to a much larger amount, pust be fully secured. The letters announcing the violent changes made, vary in several particulars : 'wise impute Don Pe dro's cabitraty proceedings solely to the 4alrigneir of the Portuguese faction, and an intention to restore, if possible, the ascendancy of Portugal within that country again; while others state that these sets originated solely from - the Brasilia•. Emperor's determination to overthrow the eon stitution, and reign absolute and uncontrolled, subse quently granting, of gracious will, a =detected charter to his subjects. Our own opinion is, that Don Pedro's power will soon be at an end, and Brazil, through its whole extent, become a Republic. It is the only despotism now existing in all America, and fetters the vast resources of that rich and rising country.

A traveller, just arrived from Alexandria, in Egypt, states that at the moment of his departure salvoes of artillery were announcing a great victory gained by the army of the Viceroy, over the rebels of Shandy ; and on the very spot where his eon was cut off by treason on the preceding year. Six thousand prisoners, and amongst them the entire family of the Chief of Shandy ; and ae mrding to some aeopunta, the Chief himself, had fallen into the Viceroy's paws. This victory establishes tranquillity upon ,h:. frontier of Upper Egypt, and travellers and merchants are saved horn all inquietude.

The Knights of Malta are constantly speaking of themselves; they knock at every fluor to pronounce the miracle of the resurrec tion of their order ; and they do not wish to recollect, that times arc utterly changed. We art far removed from that period, when everything not noble was estimated as worthless. Armed monks may reduce those who wise to become members of their order, to the necessity (little anntortable to Christian meekness) of proving their paternal and maternal nobility. The founder of our religion was not so exact to the choir of his Apostles. The time is gone by when the Turks were the terror of Europe; we have oo longer anything to feu from them ; and as to the other barbarian powers, they never littlisted a lighter injury upon Christianity, than when they dispensed klessieurs the Knights, for we can most easily dis pense with their scevices. But even supposing that it was actually necessary to wage perpteual war with the Infidels (sod the auppo shine is meet shown!), how, in their present financial embarrass meats, am the States of Europe (even if they were an disposed) to pay so en tly a soldiery as these Knights. tine hundred of these gen- Amite 'Mild ismastetempensive than an entire regiment, and they would not be snore serviceable than a single cempany of grenadiers; * It ha, been demonstsatiol that the hasmborn peasant can bestow ill heavy a rehire blow, as the best gentleman by lather and mother.

The papers arc a broken series, and therefore we are without any thing from that 'source relative to the late events that led to the dissolution of the Congress' by the Emperor. The letters, however, give some information on the point. It appears that an embargo was laid on at Rio at the time of dissolving the Congress, and taken off on the 19th of November: — Rio JANEIRO, Nov. 94, 1923. (Inc Ministers ate now constantly holding conferences with his Majesty, in order to frame a Constitution or Charter, which is ex. petted to be on the beats of the British Constitution. The Emperor could not possibly permit the Convention lately assembled to continue ; amongst them were many perverse and ig norant persons, totally incapable of any ides for a Constitution on practical principles j there wait no alternative—tbe Emperor must suffer himself to be divested of all the monarchical prerogatives, or he must dissolve the Convention ; they had made him take off his crown on opentng the sitting, refused to give him a veto, de. prived him of his Pnvy Council, and even abewn an intention of dem•ving him of the power of tewarding services dune in the sate. Every thing is in perfect tranquillity, and all persons, not of the republican party, arc satisfied that affairs would have een much worse if the Emperor had submitted. Experience La convinced me that the present generation is not fit foe collecting among them any Legislative Assembly. The trade here is immense, and from that alone, at present, all the expenses of warlike operations have been defrayed, without ' impaling any new taxes. Should this Government raise any loan, I am convinced there is ample security and means for making good every engagement. CT or ANOTATIt I.T.TTP:III.I RIO JAWEIIIO, Nov.

Yorkshire, where true English hospitality has been enjoyed for mimic time past, during the present festive scum. On Tuesday evening the May of the Mountaineer) was performed at the West London Theatre, which has lately undergone a thorough repair, been new be;eutifiell,dceorated, and much improved. The decorations resembl e th ose of the English Opera pious?, and the arrangements of the private boxes are in many respects similar to those of the Italian Opera Ilous'. '1 here alterations have been done fur the perform:nee of French plays, the season for which commenced on Wednesday evening. This %pities of foreign entertainment was very successful at this theatre last sea son. The play of the Mouutaineds was respectably got up, with appropriate 'insets and decorations, and many of the characters well sustained, particularly ()deviate, by a Young gentleman of the name of Perkins, from Penley'r company at Boulogne, and who, it is said, is shortly to make his appearance at Drury-lane. Ile is only twenty years of age, and sustained that arduous character throughout with the most promising talents for such a line of acting; his discovery of Flotaethe, and his fall in the frantic !WTI(' were very effective ; the fall was managed, perhaps, as wellat the must experienced tragedian.

The proprietors of the winter theatres, within the at two years, have made great exertions to impart rent-sl e d and augmented splendor to the interior of their resperm e establishments. I.)uring the recess, corresponding exertaes have been made on behalf of the King's theatre, on a eak the most liberal and extensive. We have noticed from ga t to time the progress of the improvements that have ha made, and we were gratified lest evening with a opportunity of seeing those improvements compleed, and exhibited to the utmost advantage. The Ire embellishments arc all brilliant, chute, and doable The ceiling is particularly beautiful ; it is divided j ee nine compartments, and in the centre of each is a Andy painted figure of one of the Muses. This is a most hippy device, and one that is as becoming as it is approprate. Of the other ornaments and decorative devices we lane already spoken ; and it only remains for us to add, that the very numerous and elegant company which was he evening invited to inspect them, bore the highest tied mon, to. their beauty, brilliancy, and propriety. Hoe gratifying this appearance must have been to then who remember the dull and worn-out aspect tibia the house presented last season ! An accident hap pened to the centre chandelier, by its falling, through the negligence of some of the persons engaged is the machinery for placing it in its present dishpans's. This circumstance, we understand, occasioned the delay of a week in opening the theatre. The chandelier was sat entirely destroyed by the fall • it has been sin* quint!, and additional lustres have been added to it, ho that it is now one of the most costly ornaments introduced into any of our theatres. It remains for us to say little of the per formance of last night, which was not, indeeet a regular performance, but a preparatory exercise for theeopening of the house on Saturday next. The performers sisere to me dress, and went through their respective parts with ea ease and familiarity which bespoke a consciousneu of their appearing rather before an assembly of friends than the tribunal of public criticism. The entertainments of the evening commencer! with a divertisement. The principal performers were Mr. C. Vistas; Madame Ventriei and Is demoiselle Legros. The two former arc well-known oh justly-admired favourites of the public. The Ishii- require' only to be known to become so. She has danced; we under stand, with great eclat at Naples, and iv engaged after the • present season here to perform at Vienna. Her encellenee is in her grace, her perfect eased execution, and her tankful 1, variety of attitude. She could, we think, however, hare . 4 made greater exertions in the way of display and saecutUe p but we will postpone our judgement of her pierits until 4 she comes regularly before us at the opening of the house. Maelethoiselle Grows also appeared in the divert is ement, which consisted of rai de trine and /we de d ear alternately. ' The ballet followed, but • partial rehearsal of ig only took place. It is entitled "La fries de soled." It opens with a very gay and enlivening scene of Peruvian maids dancing round an altar, and contributing to it wreaths of votive roses, and baskets of flowers. The touter of the balk (Monsieur :tuner) ascends and descends, but again we repeat that we must wait for the adventitious aid of air • peopriate dresses, and of the whole scenery, io catch s correct notion of the subject of this ballet, which, from being a Peruvian one, will give great scope for splendor. The opera to be played is Zehniers, which has not been acted before in this country. Great expectadons have bees formed of it, not only from the reputation of its author (Itordni), but from the very flattering circumstance of the audience interrupting the opera, the first tune it was per formal at Vienna, and not permitting it to proceed until histeeslf made his appearance on the stage to receive the enthusiastic applause of the homes. Three new pieta will be performed on Saturday--an instance of novelty awl I a proof of meritorious exertion which has not, Me believe, before occurred at the opening of any season at the King's Thy/lire. Such efforts merit encouragement and suers, and that success we. anticipate, will reward the enterprise and spirit by which the King's Theatre has been letelersel every way worthy the patronage of that high clamor mere ty of which it has long been the place of peculiar aid fastest- rite resort. Mist CAr.

He continued playing some of the same com poser's music, Clementini a, Mozart's, ot and hile composi tions, for upwards of two hours, with the greatest seal and enioVinent, without any disposition to leave oft as is ge ncrally the case with those of his tender age of sight years. Although his fingers are not of sufficient length for ID octave, yet be contrives to give a slight touch to the key. so that the defect is not diseovered, which nu adm!ticd by the professors and amateurs present, who all joined i frequent exclau.s . ims of " Wonderful !"

The leaves of the music-book front which be played were turned aver fur him by an t iii i l sent organist and piana-forte player, who looked at the music as he played it, and highly rompli *vented him, and also expressed his astemishmett. The attention of Ws eyes, ellieh was required, to the tousle, wets also as astonishing as the residuum/ and execution with which he plays the most difficult passages; and he is even wide at this early age, to be what is called a si A tit player; raid as a proof of it, he played music for three hews, a leo evemugs since, which he hail hot seen before, scemoraniei by other instruments.
