CHARLES TIERNAN. Viee.Corisul sr the Republic of the United States of No. 2J , Soutl! Charles.street, Dec. 6. INDIA. We mentioned yr,terilay the arrival at Liverpool of the Crown, Captain Pinder, from Calcutta, bringing advices to the 28th August. In a Liverpool Paper cat Monday we find the following Jsummary of the intelligence received by this conveyance:— The main body of the British troops, under the command of Slr A. Campbell, remained in their cantonments at Prome. No general action between them and the Burmese had then taken place, tut the enemy bad annoyed our troops incessantly, by making at tache upon them, under cover of woods and jungle,' in front of our position. .A number of persons had fallen victim, to this petty mode of wavfate i but d i sease had carried off a much greater num. ber. The raloshad been so heavy that the whole country was in uedeted. All was tranquil at Rangoon and Airman at the date of the lest recounts received from those A dreadful mortality was raging at Calcutta when the Crown exiled. The cholera roorbus was carrying off the natives by SO O a soy. The mortalPy among the Europeans was comparatively tri limp. Serval ships from England, with troops, hail arrived at hledrae. It wits doubtful, however, whether they would he sent to reinforce the army in the Burmese teeritorr, as. notwithstand. ing the mortality "'filth had prevailed among the British troops in that country, they were 'motional to be stilt %efficiently strung in number to bring the war to a satisfactory termination. In addition to the above, we extract the following de tails from the Supplement to the Calcutta l;overainent Go7ette of thv 22.1 A ugyst • Pnoste—The period since the cessation of active operations to the eastward, on account of the rains, has been productive of serious reports roncerniog the views and preparations ot the enemy, many of them curious aid amusing. but R 41114 of than sufficiently authentic to be entirely relied on. Among other in dirt of recent impoitatiot from Pers., 4,000 Burmese had established themselves Patana d oh, a onst not fir from ?runic. A Burmese, who fled to Ave. after the capture of Itonahew, states, that the King had particularly queetioned the Chief Choo- Nocut,Bn as to the certainty of the death of the .Naha Itundras. lah, and the reply wan in the affirmative. It was quite impossible, he added, to resist the force of the English either by land or water.

TIIIJ 19, The Paris Papers have at last furnished us with official intelligence from Warsaw, which must put an end to all doubts reganling the succession to the throne of ALE S. A NDF Mato LA s has been tlr.rt proclaimed Emperor of Russia and King of Poland. CONSTANTINE himself read the Imperial Ukase of his brother to the Court, which It convoked for the purpose of hearing it, in the presence of his wife and the Gmcrals of the army under his command. The day after the oath of allegiance to the Emperor NICHOLAS was to be administered to the troops. So far, therefore, as suspicion could attach to the intentions of CONSTANTINE it must now be removed, unless we sup pose him to be dissembling without any rational motive or object. Whether the favour with which CoNsr,INTINE is personally regarded by the soldiery may induce the armies at Moscow and in the South to declare for him, as his regiment did at St. Petcrsburgh, is a matter of conjec ture, on which we should be only wasting our pains to speculate. Even should such a move ment tskc place, which is, under all circumstances, we think, highly improbabh , , it could hardly now be successful. No Prince, whatever may be his reasons, can more clearly or positively have abdicated his right of sovereignty. When the facts are made fully known, there will surely be no attempt, in these days, to force a sceptre into his reluctant band. The Creeks have certainly gained some advantages over their enemies in the vicinity of Salona. The Seraskier R►:nsctttu has, in revenge for his reverses, beheaded two of the principal Albanian chieftains. Eironi the lifouL'eur of Alooday, Jan. If.) PARIS, - .1.%!:. U. Accounts from Amsterdam of the 9th of January stated that the preceding day, at live in the afternoon, twenty wagons le.l that city with soldiers and baggage, on their way from Ilarderwyk to the fielder, where they we►e to embark for the I:3St Indies. An embarkation of these troops seems to confirm what the Engh.h paws have lately published respecting the incur. reetions which had broken out in several parts of the island of Java, of the critical situation of the Don h authorities, and of the urgent need they had of receiving within a few months reinforcements from Europe, to be aisle to maintain possession of that important colony. Ilrom the Quotidienne.l . . M Apart), JAL 6. (PRIVATE connEsPoNnrxer.) The Consultative Junta has ceased its functions. M. Costancs, the President, has communicated to each of the members his Ma jesty's determination on this subject. It is the Council of State which is to purpose anti determine on the different affairs which will be afterwards distributed according to the internal regulation of the Council, and which will soon be completed. The Council of State 1,1111 consequently receive an augmentation, so that it may fortis a number of st.ctiats sufficient for all the classes of political business. Thus it may be supposed that there will b as many sections, at least, as ministerial departments. It seems that th e form of the ancient Council of State in France has been tuloptetl. The Dike de Muntenar, ('resident of the Council of the Indies, died the day before yesterday at a very advanced age. lie had been member of the Regency of which the Duke del Inf,intado was President. It has caused some surprise that neither M. de 3lontenar nor Don Antonio Caldron, who was also n tnember of the tame Regency, have been called to the Council of State. M'e soon hope to set among the incracrs of the Council of State who are yet to be appointed, sotue of those good Royalists whose ser vices rind opinions are so dent to all Spaniards. It is besides au int:enmity which is due so then for the persecutions they have lately endured. Accounts horn Cadiz inform us of the arrival of the crpedition from Corunns st Puerto Rico, the 13th of November; ItAM men v-ere landed in that Wand. A vessel which hail just arrived at Gibvaltar, and had left the llavaanah at the end of the same month, brought the news of the arrival of the rest of the expedition at Cuba. The Garrtie of truilay publishes an ordinance of his Majesty, decreeing that from the Ist ofJanuary, 1826, all the tribunal's may , sit on half.holydays, which have hitherto always been vacation days, which was a grtst hindrar.ce to business.

It is not often that we remark upon the writings of Mr, Conant T, and for this reason, that, revolutionary as his doctrines are upon all topics, we apprehend no danger from them. They arc neutralised by the excess of their malig nity. He is so universally known as the revengeful and inveterate enemy of this country, that his predictions pass for nothing. He makes no hesitating avowal of his enmity to every thing connected with her prosperity; his hatred is manifest in every subject he touches and in every sen tence he writes. Whatever , party is intent upon under mining her power finds i❑ him a willing confederate. He is ready at all times to enlist himself against the Govern ment, and the more popular the Ministers are, and the higher they stand in public estimation, the more turbulent are his attacks upon them, and the more vulgar and violent his abuse. But from his pen it flows away without harm, because whoever takes up his Register expects, as matter of course, that his statements will take their usual swing, and his virulence its usual latitude. He is read, because be is always worth reading; for, though he abounds in misrepresentation, his style is fluent, forcible, and full of energy. He says whatever comes uppermost, and takes whichever occurs first, whether a fact or a falsehood, care— less which it is, suloug as it answers the purpose ; but there is still a freshness of mind, and a Cossack strength of language, that rivets the attention of his readers, and leaves them only to lament, with regard to the writer, that he should be entirely destitute of principle, and utterly re gardless of truth. In his Register of the present week Mr. CORBETT ad dresses himself to the mechanics on the subject of viper ma icy. And we have at the outset a specimen of the easy assurance with which he asserts what he himself, as well as every one else who has any acquaintance with the subject, knows to be wholly unfounded. " You have seen," says Le, " and indeed felt, the effects of the stop page of only six banks (out of seventy) in London, and of about a hundred (out of eight hundred) in the country. What would you have seen and felt if the whole had stopped? This was not only possible, but this is what must hare taken place if one-pound notes front the Bank, and other measures the most extraordinary, had not been resorted to." Mr. COBBETT ventures the above assertion, not doubting but that it will pass muster with that c'ass of readers whom alone he is anxious to influence. He knows they will never pause to ask themselves—if it were at all likely that the trifling lssuc—(for it was but trifling)—of one-pound Bank of England notes kept all the residue of the bankers in London and in all other Farts of the kingdom from stopping payment. A man must be in the last stage of idiotcy that could be made to believe it. It is manifest that nothing preserved the banks that stood their ground but their being prepared to meet—and actu ally meeting—all the demands upon them. But for the causeless panic that produced the run upon them, even those which failed would have been found equal to all their engagements, and would have continued to answer every claim upon them without difficulty. But the great object of Mr. COBOETT, and of the faction in this country to which he belongs, is to cry down Loper• riii rency ; and accordingly, taking ground on his own false assertion with regard to the banks, he asks—" Ought we not to inquire whether paper money be a thing necessary in a country ? Ought we not to inquire why we have it at all i' Ought we not to inquire whether we cannot get rid of the desolating curse ?" And, having proceeded a due length in this sweeping and dictatorial tone, he affects to scorn as absurd the opinion that paper money is at all es sential to the carrying on the concerns of commerce, and he endeavours to prove it—as is customary with him in all hi s demoi,strationA—by first raising suppositions to suit his case, and then drawing from them such conclusions as may be made to serve it. He is a praCtised adept in this sort of manoeuvring; the sample which we arc about to quote will exemplify it:— " Let us suppose a country where the whole of the sales, purchases, bargains, in short, all the dealings in it, require money in circulation to the amount of fieente mil lions of sovereigns. Then, let us suppose that, from some cause or other, the 61ealings fall off one lire/j; that instead of two bushels of wheat there would be only one, and so on with everything else; and let us suppose that t,c (mon lity if money were to remain the same. The consequence would he, that the one bushel of wheat, and the one every thing else, would have as much money employed in the removal of it- from hand to hand as the two hail before, for, observe, all the money in the country would still be used; competition would snake men employ the whole of it." Now, either Mr. CORBETT is misleading himself by a gross fallacy, or he is purposely endeavouring to mislead his readers. Ile first takes twenty million of sovereigns ns the amount of the currency ; this he considers as being wholly employed in the purchase and transfer of commo dities of every kind. Ile then says, " Let us suppose that, from some cause or other, the dealings fall off one hall . ; that instead of two bushels of wheat there would be only one." But mark the fallacy. The dcalinv falling off one hay' is here put as synonymous with there being only one bushel of wheat instead of two; whereat the one circum stance is totallyktferent in its nature and consequences from the other. If the dealings which absorbed the twenty million of sovereigns fun if one iaT, then the quantity of rirculaling medium required will be less by one half; but if there is such a deficient harvest as to reduce the .coppill oreora one half, and that " instead of two buahelsi of wheat there would be only one," in this case the price will br doubled, and will of course absorb a double amount of whatever 'Portion of the currency was before paid in eZ : change for it. And if " the one bushel of wheat " rises to the same price as was before paid fee the two, it thin be comes impossible that " the one of every thing else can - have as tunas musirt, employed in the removal of it from band to hand as the iwu had before." The statement re ftites itself. Mr. CODDLTT blunders equally—either ignorantly or by design—when he proceeds to prove the converse of his proposition. " Nutt, suppose the contrary of (Lis. Sup pose the (killings in the country to be &added, anti suppose the ynaatity of money in the country still to remain the sante as if was kfure. The consequence would be, that he:, bushels of wheat, and two of every thing else, would havo no more money employed in the removal of them from hand to hand than the, one had before."—Certainly not. How is it possible they should? If the quantity of money—the twenty million 'of sovereigns—remains the same as before; if there were twenty.bushels of wheat and twenty of every thing else,. instead of two, it is quite clear that they " would have no more money employed in the removal of them from hand to hand than the one had before," and for the best of all reasons, because, according to his own showing, there is no more money to employ. To suppose the case of a nation having twenty million of sovereigns, and no more, to carry on all its commercial dealings, and then to argue very gravely thati these deal ings arc doubled no more money will he employed, or in other words, that no man can give more than he has got—to dress out this most common-place of all truisms with a parade of reasoning is truly ludicrous. Mr. COWIE TT'S Registers will furnish endless examples of this mode of discussion. It is under this sort of cover that he carries on his weekly ' crusade against the established principles of moral reason and political truth. It is worth remarking, by the way, that he never fails to wind up his arguments, however puerile and inconclusive they may be, in a tone of perfect triumph ; thus, after putting his supposed cases as above, he asks, as if flushed with victory—" What becomes, then, of the assertion that an increase of dealings demands an increase of the quantity of the circulating money ?" The answer to which is, that Me assertion stands just where it did, anti that all that Ur. CORBETT has advanced, even giving hint all the benefit of his suppositions, shows that it is utterly beyond his power to snake, much less to over turn it. IVe cannot spare more space to this article at present ; but as the Register and the Times hunt in couples to run down paper credit and paper eurrene . .:‘, we shall not omit to examine the additional arguments by which Mr. Cos- BETT professes to convince the public of " the necessity of putting an end to them."

An article from Berlin states that the Moscow Regiment, which on the ‘2,6th ult. refused to take the oath to the Em peror Nicholas, is the old regiment of Lithuania. Formed by his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine, it was extremely attached to him, and manifested the most lively joy when he was proclaimed E:nperor. It was one of the best Russian regiments, unit greatly distinguished knit* in the last war. The decision of the President of the United States with respect to sending Ministers to the Congress at Panama has excited considerable attention among the American po liticians. It is distinctly announced, however, in the Na tional Intelligencer, that the persons who are to be rent will be invested with no other authority than that of " Counsellors," with the perfect understanding that the United States' Government will not deviate from that strict neutrality which has hitherto been declared and maintained between the present belligerents. Messrs. Gallatin and Crawford are mentioned as the individuals upon whom the selection is likely to fall. Their functions, it is added, " will be of the gravest and most confidential nature." The express conveying the Message of the President of the United Stato to Ilthimere left this city on Tueeday, at 2.; minutes past twelve; and, by the liml.re Ame rican, we ham, that the one by the Citizen's Line arrived in that city at ten minutes past two o'clock, and the other in about five minutes afterwards. If our clocks agree, therefore, the time occupied in conveying the Message the whole of this distauce of 37 miles was only one hour and three quarters !

The closing of what is called th e : gate at St. Peter's conk place in the afternoon of ma, eve, with the following ceremonies:— After vespers had been sung in the Sistine Chapel, Pope, attended by the cardinals, &c., descended bs private staircase into the c h urc h, here he was re ee i v ,,,i the Chapter, and prayed before the rvliques and moat. He next gave out the anthem, Cent exhiltitis, which was sung by his choristers whil e grand procession, prect tli:ig his Mohnen b taT i r. ., candle, marched into the portico. 'Here he esccod o l throne which had been prepared fok bite, and the it , ants took their respective places. The two step, granite leading to the holy gate had been /eeriest:sic moved, and two of wood substituted. Several trays . tabling bricks, mortar, and stucco, destined for the al l . ance of walling up the sacred aperture, hail been p; near the steps. The other requisites, such as aim trowels, &c. were disposed upon tables. Every th being ready, the two wooden steps were taken away, Pope quitted his throne, with mitre cm head and cant!! hand, in order to bless the bricks and mortar. This bet performed, one of the masters of the cerettioniesgirt en an apron. Kneeling upon a cushion placed in from the doorway, he received a trowel from a Cardinal, ; with it some mortar, which he spread upmithe thresh*: reciting at the same time a form of prayer. Upon this placed in the centre and at the sides dupe bricks, %I I ; were gilt, and embossed with his arras and those of cathedral. During this and subsequent operations I choir sung the hymn " Calestis urbs came the Cardinal Chief Penitentiary, who also placed bricks and mortar. His Eminence was followed in aG. process; by the four senior Penitentiaries (Confessors) longing to the church. It will be sufficiently evident that the most workmanlike arrangement of about IS bricks could not close this entrance into the church; but, in order to effect t h e semblance of completion, the workmen lowered over the aperture a canvas painted to represent a pate. Tie Pope, upon returning to his throne t resigned the *peen, and washed his hands, the ewer being presented by the linke of Gravena. and the towel by the senior Cardinal in priest's orticrs. His Holiness then read the text of above hymn. All the candles that bad bees borne bt those who had composed the procession were now extingtnihed ; the Pope gave out the l'e Dertm, which was irformed.by the choristers; and the solemnity concluded with a publi cation by two Cardinals of plenary indulgence in favour of all present. Similar ceremonies were perfoneed at the churches of St. John of Lateran, Sr. Mary the Greater, and St. Mary in Trastcvere, where the Jubilee getes wete shut by Cardivals especially delegated to those offices. KEAN IN AMERICA. Kean is now at Albany, where. according to the papers, he was received with greater tokens of idolatry than at tended his last performance in New York. After the close of the play at his last benefit in that city he was called for by the audience ; he obeyed the call, and adircased the poopfe, in substance, as follows—from Noah's Advocate:— " Mr. Kean stated, that in doing himself die honour of appearing before the audience, he might obsarre that it would be an insult to their understanding to suppose that words could be a return for the unbounded favours he had received. lie had left 7,nglind after the most virulent and unrelenting persecution that any man had ever suffered ; and, added to thi s , he k a d ex p er i e n ce d domes. tit calamities which it would not be here proper to explain. The dreadful agony of his feelings had nearly overcome him ; he was in the lowest stile of dejection, and feared eves his intellectual faculties would hare abandoned him. In this horrible condition, injured in reputation and bankrupt In fortune, he landed on onr hospitable shores—and his only hope was. that the same Providenca that had blasted his expectations might also prostate his mortal frame in dust. Ile was alike insensible to censure or applguse ; nor was it the clamour and disturbance that attended his appca-. ance on the first night, that in the least aroused him from the stupor. He might truly say that he was wrecked, serseless, on our coast, and by generous treatment had been restored to lif ! it'hat, therefore, did he not owe to the New York audience? h that audience could not realise the extent of his obligation ; for the winds of heaven would waft to congenial friends in the par:nt country, the consoling reception he had met with. Under cireum. stances of such vital unponance to him, he found it impossitU to offer commensurate gratitude ; and lie would therefore only did ire, with the deepest sincerity, that wherever destiny might direct him, or whatever might be the ultimatum of his career, the last pulsa tion of his heart would beat warmly for New York. " Mr. Kean concluded (amidst the loudest applause) with in. forming the audience that he should now proceed to Boston. and on his return, he anticipated the honour of again appearing before them." So So Kean is determined to come to Boscon. The eyes of our southern cities are turned hitherward with anxiety to know what will be his reception, and if a Bostonian would pass a day in New York without being interrogated five hundred times on the subject, he must keep himself shut up in his chamber. Our belief is now, as it has ever been, that a gentlemanly apology—if such a vulgar fellow can make one--for his running away, will be sufficient to stop all riotous proceedings in our theatre, if any should be commenced. Those who like his acting would then be in quiet possession of the house, for most of those who dislike it would stay away.—Boston Cuurier. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. The.
