'Via Majesty the Emperor Constantine was at Warsaw, in good health. Bulletins are published daily of the health of the Empress Mo ther. That of yesterday teeming, ten o'clock, announced that her Majesty. notwithstanding her great affliction, was rather better than on the pree.tdiox day. It was not till the 7th that reports of the Empeter's indisposition began to be spread abroad. On the 9th, notice was given that prayers would - be put up in all the churches for the recovery of our beloved Sovereign. In the Churches of the Convent of Alexander Neusky, the principal Nubilim Ministers, Generals, Officers of the Guards, and a great crowd:of people assembled. Suddenly, before divine service was ended, Major-General Neldhardt,Chief of the Staff of the Guards, entered the Church. His face overspread with a deadly paleness, but too surely announced the fatal news.. Ile went op to General ‘Vanow, Commander of the Guards, and communicated to hint the unhappy erent. It was immediately known to all present. Thu temple resounded with lamentation'', and tears Sowed from the eyes of the brave who had gone to meet death in the Geld with a smile. All hastened to the Palace, where obey learnt that at the same moment they were putting up their prayers in the church in presence of the Imperial Family, rt ex cess had arrived from Taganrog, and that the Governor-General hadaremmunicated the fatal news, of which he was the bearer, to the Grand Duke Nicholas, and then to the Empress Maria. As anon as the oath to the Emperor Constantine had been taken in the chinch. first by the Grand Duke Nicholas, then by the Coun. ell of the Empire, the Synod, the Ministers. and the principal Officers of gate, the Generals and Colonels of the Regiments of the Guards-went to receive the oath from their man.

The following extracts from the Gi,Valtar Chronick give some further, and authentic, particulars of the hurri cane which I.:kly did so much mischief in that Bay : [From the Gibraltar ell 'Oldie of the 7th Dee It Is with painful feelings that we notice the cfftcts of the dread ful storm experienced last Light in the Bay. After some days blowing from theweet, the barometer announced the approaching destruction. A little after four p.m. the wind veered to the south west, and blew with the greatest violence during the best part of rl,e night. This morning the sight from off Montague Battery to Ferri ts, PIII:ip ens ttuly appalling. Almost rote half of the ve..sels which were in this anchorage were stranded, principally on the Neutral Ground ; and, in some places, lying In heart,,crushed together. The Golionttian pr:vateer was driven on shore beyond Fort Bt. Philip ; she lies on her beam ends, and considerably under water. _ . . [From the Chron;rk of the II b ) It is yet. seri will be for tom? days. impossible to ateertain the exact number of ves..els driven on shore, many of which are com. pieta wrecks, particularly a number of small craft, which have been crushed by the larger vessels, anti are entirely gone to pieces.

Adding to this number those of Fort St. Philip, and un der the works of the garrison, and reckoning those which have al.

LONDON, FRIDAY, .I.txtrAwr 6, MO. - - - Last night we received the Paris Papers of Tuesday, They do not furnish us with a tingle word of intelligecce from Russia. 'r he Journal des Debuts offers an capitula tion of some circumstances which were supposed to be in compatible with the fact of the accession of the Emperor NicitoLAS:—." It appiars that notwithstanding the docu ment which declared the renunciation of the throne by the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, the Grand Duke Nice tits hail the delicacy to proclaim him Emperor. The Grand Duke CoxSTANTINE, on his part, fully believing that this document, promulgated by him on receiving the news of ALEXANDER'S death, had prevented the procla mation of his accession, sent the Gand Duke NIICHA EL with a written confirmation of the document declaratory of his renunciation of the throne. The Grand Duke lftcnaet. met the courier bringing the intelligence of the proclamation of CoNrANTINE I. at Mitten, three days journey from St. Petersburgh, and two from Warsaw. He has since felt it his duty to wait at Ft. Petersburgh for despatches from CONSTANTINE, subse quent to his receiving the news of his proclamation. Five or six days wquld be sufficient for that purpose.' Another account in the same journal is, that the Emperor ALEXANDER had time before his death to write i letter with his own hand to CONSTANTINE, which the latter, it is said, had sent the Grand Duke MICHAEL to deliver in person to the Empress Mother at St. Petersburgh. The Courtier Francois mentions a report that the object of the , uranu LIM AIICHAEL'S mission was to stipulate, as the conditions of Cowers xviwee abdication, that all the Polish provinces now incorporated with the Russian Em pire shall be restored to that kingdom which is under the reign of CONSTANTINE, to resume its independence, and that the provinces of the Crimea and the establishments of the Black Sea shall be formed into a principality for Miens EL These of course can only be conjectures, and are, therefore, entitled to little regard ; one fact is worthy notice: On Monday M. Pozzo DI Bianco, the Russian Ambassador at Paris, administered to the Members of his legation the oath of fidelity to the Emperor CONSTAR'. TINE. It is remarked, however, that M. Pout DI Boum did not attend at the Tuileries on New Year's-day with the rest of the body. Ile is said to have declared that, in the utter ignorance in which be finds himself as to what has pissed, he considers himself at present only u the keeper of the archives of the Russian legation.

The journey to the Crimea made - the Emperor Alekander ac quainted with the little real progrecs that has' been made by the new colonies and the other establishments foamed by his coders. The ?elution which this circumstance caused him, and his extreme activity in Investigating the obstacles to the civilisation of the Crinies, had placed the Emperor in a SUM of mind whith contd. bitted to aid the progress of his disorder. The funds have experienced great fluctuation.' at Frankfort and Vienna. It was said that Prince Metternich was extremely un- easy at receiving no communication from the new Emperor Con. stantine; that that Prince was gone to Bessarabia to inspect the army of the South, and that that army had entreated bun to march to the aid of the Greeks; a measure to which he Is supposed to be well inclined. These apprehensions have been in some measure allayed by news which has been circulated with some emphasis, that Constantine had written to the Emperor of Austria, " that he would follow in every respect the last will of Alexander I." Rut these vague assurances, which at the beginning of a reign would be only mere forms of etiquette, have not even been given, eines the news of the abdication of this Prince was circulated; bat it was asked whether be has not resertcd For himself, or for the (Irani Duke Michael, the throne of Poland. All is uncertainty anti agitation. iFrotti the Qeotidienge of Tuesday.l PARIS, JAY..!.

[From the Courrier Francais of Tuesday.l PATHS, JAx. 3. A report has been spread that the object of the (hand Duke Michael's mission to St. Petersburgh is to make the following pro posals: that Constantine shall renounce the throne of Russia, on condition that he shall remain King of Poland, which kingdom shall become independent, and that the provinces separated from it under the reign of Catherine 11. shall be re-united with it that a principality shall be formed of the Crimea and the establishments on the Black Sea, to be given to the Grand Duke Michael. This would be a kind of dismemi,ering of Russia to which indeed so vast an empire has a natural tendency. The Amsterdam Papers of IVednesday arrived last night. The principal intelligence they contain is relative to the state of affairs in Java, which they insist is much better than bail been rtpresented. Our readers, if they are curious, will find the details in another column. Vi'e have also received papers of the same date from the Hague. They announce that the Prince of ORANGE will shortly go to St. Petersburgh, for the purpose of complimenting his brother-in-law the Emperor Co r rir £ on his accession to the Russian Throne. 'CITY, THURSDAY EYZNIXO. The transaction* on the Stock Exchanges appear to be fast returning to the state in which they were carried on previous to the late disastrous panic. Consols opened se 821, and but little variation occurred during the day. The prices of Reduced and Three and a Half per Cent• Stocks remained steady at yesterday's quotation. Bank Stock was 221. Money has become so extremely plentiful, that the quantity of bills for discount is very much dimi nished. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds are a shade higher. _ _ . The advance on South American Stocks was consider able, which was attributed, rnd no doubt justly, to the favourable intelligence from Mexico. They were full I per cent. higher. Mexican 6 per cents. were til, 714, and at one time they reached 721; . 001041006, 68i, from which quotation they afterwards, haimeie v aleclined in a slight degree. Russian Stocks were 811. —I .in other Secu rities there was little business doing. The only bargains in Shares were In thoieef the Anglo-. Mexican Company, which advanced from '6 to 10 pre mium ; having been depressed to the fOrmer price by the publication of the Report. The Lisbon Gazette to the 19th tilt. has r . -rived. It con tains no political news, and its Court intelligence, re specting the improved health of the King, and his return to Lisbon, we had previously obtained through the French Papers. We have received Demerara papers to the 14th of Nov. They mention that an undertaking of great importance to the colony—the supply of fresh water by canal, from Lamaha Creek to Georgetown, by a trench, to be fourteen feet broad, and eight feet deep, had commenced. At a previous public meeting of the inhabitants, the Hon. Mr. NFTurk in the chair, it was agred that all planters should de•ach a tenth part of their neg:oes till the undertaking was completed ; and the Chairman stated to the meeting, that he was authorized by his Excellency the Governor to me . .tion, that every facility would be given by the local authorities in the colony to this very important undertak ing. A Steamßoat Company. to navigate the river and adjacent coast, had also been established. THE QITARTER'S REYLNUE.--The Quarterly and An nual Accounts of the Revenue, which are made up to this slay, will not be completed till to-morrow, when we shall be enabled to lay them before our readers. Meanwhile, we have the satisfaction to state, that the expectations which were formed at the commencement of last year, of the produce of the Revenue, will ha found to be amply realised.—Corn ler. PaoviNciat. BANxe.—The banks of Messrs. Haraand and Sons, of Tewkesbury, &c. possess property sufficient to pay twenty shillingi in the pound to every creditor, and leaving a balance exceeding ninety-seven thousand pounds in their favour.--We are happy to learn that such is the confidence in the solvency of the firm of Gibbins, Eaton, and Co. that tradespeople et Hay take their bills in the re gular course of trade.—llereforil Joaryak The last Papers received from New York, to theith ult. all speak of the late failure in Finsb ury -stpare, with the deepest feelings of sympathy for their venerable and highly respected countryman, who, it appears, has been the foun der of the fortunes of innumerable Americans. We have seen many letters, in which, to the credit of the writers, they not only acknowledge this, but evince the same confi dence as heretofore. Extract of a letter from New York, dated Dec. 8 : " We fully expected the worst waft over, but the failure of Sam. IVilHams s house has put quite a gloom over the city. The hanks are afraid to discount, and will con tinue so until they find who suffers by Williams's. The failures here have exceeded one hundred in two months. Some of our first merchants have failed. The banks are unwilling so discount for importers, and fearful they may draw out specie and and it home." • Li vEsroot., Jaw. s.—Our cotton market droops a little. About 4000 or .5000 bags have been sold in the week, but prices may be quoted about a farthing lower than those of last week. Some indication of speculation has shown itself to-day. Ri.PIESENTATION OF YORESOIRE.OIII Milton has published an Address to the Freeholders of Yorkshire, dated Friday last, in which his Lordship States that when an election takes place, he shall again make an offer of his services, and as he feels anxious that the peace of so great a community should not be prematurely disturbed, he ab stains for the present from soliciting their suffrages. Mr. Hynilman, a young and rich West India plantp, purchased Gloucester Lodge, the late villa of Mr. Secretary Gentling, about four months ago, for 30,000/. Sines that I period, vast sums have been appropriated tbr the improve ment of the house and grounds. SURRENDER OF 8.4 N JUAN D'ULIAM. Official accounts have been received from Mexico, of the capture, by the Patriots, of the Castle of St. Juan trUllos. thelast spot which Old Sptin retained in that quarter of &nub America. The Lively frigate, which has arrived at Plymouth, brings, we understand, despa•ches from Mr. Wand; also, letters from Mexico to the 26th November. By the latter we have received the Proclamation of the President, General Victoria, announcing the above event to the Mexican people. This Proclamation, which is too long to give to-day, is date(' Nov. 23, 1826. The mortality had been very great in the Castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa reviona to its capitulation. Of six hundred men, three hundred died since the Ist•of S• ptember, two hundred were ill, and one hundred only fit for duty. Three hundred pieces of cannon, and the stores, were va lued at two millions of &tiara. Letters from Havannah, -f the Mb of December, state that the Governor of St. Juan (Mica, aml his officers, had arrived there in the Mexican sloop of war Victoria, which remained at anchor in the inner harbour, after hav ing landed her prisoners. The folltAving is an extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Mexico; dated the 16th Nov. :--" We beg leave to wait on you with the orders relating the shipping which have been made by this Government ; the first is dated 26th October 1825, That from the following day the hours of business at the Custom-house be from eight to ten o'clock ; that the afternoon be dedicated exclusively to arranging old accounts, which have got much behind the discharge of vessels to begin at day-break, and to end at half-past ten ; and goals so despatched to be cleared from the Custom-house from half-past eleven to two o'clock.' fbe second, dated Oct. 31.--." That ail goods, of which a detailed invoice is not presented at the Custom house, shall remain in the stores until the exact contents can be inventoried by the officers.' fhe Committee of Congress Tins concluded its labours of reviving the Arancel ; and it is said that they propose to reduce the duties nearly one-half ; they have not yet laid their report before the House, and we fear great opposition will be made to so salutary a measure." A letter from Barbadoea, received yestertliy, states that his Majesty's cutter Vigilant hail arrived at that Island, on her way to Mexico, with Mr. Tyllcote on board, charged with important despatches from the British Government. We have received Carac ae Papers to the 17th of Novem ber. The latest accounts from Peru state that Bolivar was still at Cusco. It is reported that General Rodil hail at length sent an intimation to the Independent General, that he was willing to enter into negotiations for the surrender of Callao. In Colombia the inhabitants are very busy in , electing Members for the Congress to meet early in J t nuary. The property tax, of ten per levied in Co lombia, as a war tax and abolished, has again been levied, t.:tich has occasioned a great outcry against the existing Government. _ letters from La Gitayra, to the 2211 November, state that Colombia was about to ask of this country another Loan, and that Mr. Elias, resident at Bogota, was in treaty for the same. One object of this Loan is to pay off a description of paper that was issued to the military some time since, for pay flue to them, and is now afloat in the Market, to be purchased at the very considerable discount 'of 75 per cent. l'Ene vi AN COASTING TaanE.—The Congress of Peru, for the purpose of protecting the coasting lade under their own flag, have, says the Lbillimore Gazette, laid a duty.of thirty per cent. upon all merchandise intended to he sent to the coast in foreign vessels, payable at one of the prin cipal ports. In consequence of representations made in Lima, it is 'understood that the Decree of the 17th of April, relative to the confiscation of Spanish property, will not be in force until right months after its date. Mr. Beauchamp, who had been arrested in Kentucky, suspected of being the murderer of Colonel Sharp, has been acquitted. Ile offered after his discharge to remain ten days in Frankfort, to afford an opportunity to adduce new testimony against him, if any further could be ob tained. _ . lioaniaLE PARRICIDE.—The following shocking par ticulars are copied from the Richmond Enquirer (Virginia paper) of Nov. 29: •• Thousands in the Commonwealth are acquainted with John Brown, an old Revolutionary soldier, who has limed so many years and so faithfully as a door-livelier to the House of Delegates. The unfortunate man has fallen by the hands of his own son. On Saturday last, the son shot the father; but as the old man did tot fall dead, the son mired an axe, struck him on the head, perhaps nearly separated it from the body, and mangled it in a most distress. ingmsnner. Another of the sons, hearing of the terrible catastrophe. approached his brother with a gun, who immediately attempted to fly; but the irritated sou shot at him, and merely grazed him on the cheek with one partridge shot. The parricide then stopkand returned the fire, is Odell unfortunately took effect on the body of his brother, whose life is despaired of; some negroes, who had been prevented from interfering by the fear of his gun, then stepped up and arrested the murderer. On Saturday morning he was committed to the gaol of New Kent County. Our informant states that the unfortunate parricide is supposed to have beea for some time deranged." Tree LATE CAPTAIN nr. CEERPIGNY.—By.st packet re ceived through.the Pest-office from Major-General Keane, commanding Ss Majesty's troops at Jamaica, we learn that on Moinlve, the 2 tth of October, 1825, died on hoard his Majesty's ship Scylla, to which he had been recently appointed, Captain Augustus Champion De Crespigny. He was first appointed to the Britomart, but unfortu nately, on the (loath of Captain Russell, who with many officers and seamen fell a victim to the ravages of the yellow fever, and notwithstanding the infection which raged on board the ship, Captain De Crespigny unfortunately ap plied for it, and with that esprit de cores so natural to him, being appointed to her by the Admiral on that station, took the command of her ; lie was taken ill on the Satur day, and died on the Monday following. Captain de Cres pigny went first to sea under the patronage of Lord St. Vincent, and was with Lord Nelson at the battle of Tra falgar ; from thence he was taken under the patronage of Lord Collingwootl, who took him under his guidance and tuition in his own cabin on board the Ocean,• where he made him study the duties of a seaman under his particu lar care ;--he distinguished himself in a variety of actions during the war, and was woundt.l several times, particu larly on the coast of Calabria, having received a desperate sabre wound in an action on shore. .11A7s:TIILSTE• Tit rAr E.---Monday night Mrs. M'Cib- bon made . her appetvance in the clia - ractr of Lady Ran dolph, in the tragedy of Douglas. (which had been substi tuted for the comedy of .John Ron, the play previously announced, in order to saint her an opportunity of ap pearing). The moment she came forward to the stage, she was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers from every pail of the hottsc, which for s:vcral minutes pre vented the progress of the piece. The house was quite full in every part except the lower boxes, which, owing perhaps to the season, were very thinly attended. We un• derstand that Mrs. Ogilvie has returned to Birmingham. _ SPITALItELDS MECIIANICEI ' INSTITUTION.OII WedL nerelay a meeting of the members of this Institution was held, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Com mittee as to the progress of the Institution during the last year.

Truman, Ilanbury, and Buxton had made them an annual donation of ten guineas. Other respectable persons were promoting the object of the Institution, from a conviction of the beneficial moral habits engendered by establishments of the kind. They had opened a library consisting of 410 standard works for re ference and circulation. They bad 'obtained an excellent set of scientific apparatus.

No trouble my digi.ities bring; No other is halt so free. In my kingdom there is but one table, All my subjects partake in my cheer ; We would all have Champaigne were we able ; As his, we ham plenty, of beer ; And 'tis I am the Oscar Kixo. A king, and a true one, am I ; No courtiers nor ministers here; I see every thing with my own eye, And hear every thing with my own car. No conspiracies 1 apprehend, Among brothers and equals I rule; We all help both to gain and to spend, And get drunk when the treasury's full ; And 'tie I am the GIPSY KIFO. I confess that I am but a man, My failings who pleases may knnw ; I am fond of my girl and my cans, And jolly companions a-rowe. My subjects are kind to me, They don't grudge me the largest glass, Nor yet that I hold on my knee, At this moment, the prettiest lass ; Fortis I ant the Gipsy KING. Ne'er a king do I envy, no' I, Sir, That sits on a golden throne, And I'll tell you the reason •rhy, Sir— 'levee a Rayne and ball of my own. To sit all the night through in a crown. I've a notion mine ears 'twould freeze But I puU my old nightcap down, And tipple and smoke at my ease; Fortis I am the GIPSY KING.

KEAN'S OX T•EINO LEAVE or THE arrzrri :OE NEW YOllli. " Ladies and fientlemen—ln obedience to your honoured com mands I cheerfully t myself before you, and in purs uance o f my sincere wishes 1 11 7 1 :u el l i d 'solicit your indulgent acceptance of the humble tribute of my unfeigned gratitude and regard. There ate periods, however, under peculiar circumstances, when language loses its power, and words but feebly express the emotions of tire heart 1 I pray you will therefore bear with me on this occasion. s. When I landed in your hospitable city. almost a tankrupt Ia fortune and reputation—writhing under affliction and calamities, the particulars of which might be painful, if not improper, for ma here to enumerate, I was visited by mental stupor, from which( thought nothing on earth could ever amuse me. Not even the clamour and opposition on the night I first had the honour to appear before you amid more my faculties or subdue my fixed insensibility. Ambition seemed dead, and hope cast but a glim. meting ray across the desolation of my POUI 4 when, like my better angel, your kindness descending upon me, dispelled that lethargy which but a few hours before I had devoutly prayed might attend nit through all the changes of my mortal career. " It is you, ladies and gentlemen, and your generous sympathies, that have restored me to myself and to society ; and although my poor feelings may be unequal to the discharge of the enormous debt of gratitude I owe you, yet trust me, there are clear friends, and kindred spirits across the waters, who, when they shall hear of the obligation you have so tenderly imposed, will assist me in bless ing you nod your memories for ever ! It were idle for me to assure you, that my heart la too full, and too deeply sensibly of your goodness and hospitality, to give adequate utterance to the senti ments it now entertains for you, and which, to it latest pidsatior, shall be fondly cherished with the most ferret aspirations for your health anti happiness ! " Ladies and gentlemen, I must for a time bid you an affection ate farewell. And you will permit me to hope, that on nty return from Beaton, I may have the honour and happiness of twin ap• pricing before you." The following paragraph, from the "litany Doily .4drertiser of yesterday, will show the flattering manner in which Mr. Kean was received by the theatre-going public ut Albany : " hut night Mr. Kean made his first appearance in this city. Long before six o'clock the house was filled in every nook and corner. Loud calls were made in the pit to close the door, in con sequence of the immense crowd, and the calls were obeyed. Tht second tier of boxes was so prepared, that persons standing In tin lobby (which was filled) could have a fair view of the stage. Previous to the raising of the curtain, the home was as still as could be expected in such an assemblage. 0:.. person (half seas over), in the pit, was very noisy, not was removed by the police officers, at the earnest call iv the audience, who expressed their satisfaction at his removal bt loud applause. On the ringing of the bell for the. commencement of the play, the house observed profound silence, which continued until Keen's appearance, when there were the most loud and deafen ing cheers. Throughout the play, the fine acting of:this great tragedian rivetted the closest attention of the spectators, and who the curtain fell, the cries of Kean, Kean !' resounded from evert quarter of the house, which continued until he made his appear ante in front of the stage, when he returned hie warm thanks I'm the kind manner in which he had been received by the Albtoe audiencs. In the course of the address he said that the American people had reviver), rest:lichened, and invigorated the spirit of a poor heart-broken roan, int! that it should be his greatest ambition to deserve and preserve their approbation ; that he was thee too much exhausted to speak more, but on some future OCCasital would more fully express the deep sense of gratitude which In entertainedin which th e y hadwelcomed h towardstlie c i tizens of Albanienu It worthy ,fortieveryfi f parantterint manner ?tailor note, that from the beginning fo tho end of the play not on. hiss or murmur of disapprobation was heard. In the course Mtn: afternoon, great numbers of persons arrived in this city from Tray Lansingburgh, Waterford, Schaghticoke, Schenectady, and Om neighbouring places, many of whom were obliged to return disap. pointed, nqf being able to gain admission to the theatre." Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was het, by summons, at the Foreign Office, in Downing-street wb:ch was attended by the Earl of Liverpool, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning, Vise,Ant , Melville, and Lord Bexley. The Lord Chancellor WM prevented from attending the Council by a severe attack of the gout in his Lordships knees, of which Iris Lorchhi: was a little 'better yesterday. The deliberations of th, Council continued till half past four o'clock. The At torney and Solicitor Generals were in attendance durini the deliberations of the Cabinet Council. The Earl of Li verpool came to town yesterday morning from his kat Coombe Wood, and returned there in his chariot and low after the breaking up of the Cabinet Council. The Chew cellar of the Exchequer came to town for the same purpose from Beckenham, as did Lord Bexley from Foot's Cray.
