The Girths n Pap is stated, a few days ago, that the tutor of d^ sous of the late Duke of .Montebello, formerly marshal Larrics, echo are now residing at Presden, had b ea n arrested by order of the Pritssi•ti Government that his pup resisted the e x-cittion of this order with pistols ia their hands, bet that an armed force having becn sent for, they were oliligeil to yield, and suffer their tutor to be taken into custody. It is further stated, that he has been conveyed to Prussia, anti that he is suspected of having written an outrageous lib.l upon some menthera of the Prussian Rue al This tutor, VaIOSC 113100 is tint mentioned in the German Papers, is a young man named Cowan, funnel ly Prafesser of Philosophy. Ile oluained a brilliant reputatien by the lectures he gave at the Faculty of Paris. Ilia dismissal was one of the first acts of the pro a:nt Hr was not the tutor of the sons of the Pule of Mont hello, as the German Papers state, hut he was intimately acipiaiite. with them, and as One Of dr an au go ing to Warsaw to marry a lady of high birth, the family requested M. Cousin to accompany him. M. CAtiln was travelling with rassports, perfectly regular; and his crest thcrtfore in Saxony can only be re , ..eiled at a 1031101.il si,daticti of the laws of nations, and as an odious attempt to extend the jurisdiction of the Inquisition of tlayerce kyieid the boundaries of Germany, and even to foreigners. Al. Cous:n never wrote a libel upon anybody, te; to the members of the Piussian floyal Family, he knew nothing of them, but being a Professor of Philosophy, he was oldigeel to stialy ilia different systems of German Phi loselby, and he had made several journeys into Germany, where he became acquainted with the most distinguished I'r !tenors of the Universities in that country, and he had maintained with them a scientific intercourse. Since these jeurneys, snot of these Professors have been persecuted and imprisoned in fortre.star. It is possible that in seizing their papers, tile Police may have found some letter' written to them by M. Cousiti ; and that would alone be enough to induce the G.ritisaic Itiqtnsition to have him arrested. Some persons,—and it is said ever the relations of M. de Ment-belle,— are 'relined to believe that this act results from powerful intrigues, intended to prevent the splendid and advantageous marriage that young Montebello was going to contract. Whatever may have been the causes of this event, all the friends of science, ought to deplore it, as M. Cousin wss in a feel he state of health, and quite inca pable of supporting a hong captivity, especially with the ill-Cestment fur which the G.:rman Police is infamous. The honour and elkmity of France are concerned that an energetic rernonstrance should be immediately made against this act of violence; and it is lobe hoped that the opinions aseribA to M. Cousin, and the injustice committed upon him by his dismissal, will nut prevent the :Mittiskrs from in terfering in his favour, in that way which not only justice, humanity, rtid the laws of nations require, but also the rational hauour.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Last night, the tragedy of Itritice Preserved was pro duced at this theatre, for the peril ese of introducing on the boards a lady whose name we have heard is Sim" and who lies been a favourite, for some time past, with the play-ening people of Norwich. It would be un fair in us to offer s decisive opinion after a first perform ance, and that a first performance too of the very dffiicult character of B-le:dera. Since the first performance of yen he Preserved, the character of Belvidera has found but few efficient representatives ; and it is only since the ap pearance of Miss O'Neill, that it has again found ladies who are adventurous enough to attempt it. Since Miss O'Neill's retirement freon the stage, several fair candidates fur histri onic fame have chosen it fur their dr! at, and have, generally speaking, only partially succeeded. To say that the effort of last night deserves a higher praise, would be to speak agaiust cur judgment. There were, however, some isarticular traits of the character of Beleidera very well conceived, though generally the performance was too much marked by force and want of finish. The tears and the noise naturally at t tclting to the character arc abundant enough, without any excessive use of either by its representative on the stage. Mrs. or Miss !Homan (for we know not which) pessesses an interesting figure, rather above the middle size. Her eyes arc intelligent, her lima well formed, and her voice, in some of its tones, forcibly reminded us of Miss O'Neill. Az we hive just said, it Is unfair to speak peremptorily of a first attempt, and that an attempt it. which only one in dividual has succeeded for nearly the last half century - we therefore reserve the expression of our opinion, and have nu doubt that, in our next notice of this clever debu t:Jute, we shall be able to speak of her iu much warmer terms. It were something like impertinent in us to oft'er a syllable on the performance of Young's Pierre, or Charles Kernble's.hgee. They have each so made the characters their own—the expectation is everywhere so completely realised—altogether the performances are so justly conceiv ed, and so powerfully delineated, that perhaps there are nd two such portraitures to be witnessed at present on the boards. Where all is so eminently finished, selection becomes a matter of difficulty ; and that selection is the less neces sary here, as all the admirers of the drama have had them for years treasured up in the tablet of their memory. The house was full at half price. It is but justice to the lady to add, that throughout her performance the applause war vigorously kept ui , and that upon the announcement of the repetition of the tragedy for Saturday evening next, the acclamations of the audience were loud and general. GAJIE LAWS. An important decision on the Game Laws occurred at the An. trim Sessions oa Wednesday lose. It was in the case of the King against John Redmond. Gent., and was an appeal from the con viction of Wm. Clarke. Esq. of Steeple, in the tine of U. for :trey. tog and using a grev hound slog, defendant not being qualified ac cording to lux. Several objections against the appeal, and in sup port of the conviction, were urged by Mr. Davison, Finnerty ; but these were met by Mr. M•lkinnell, Counts.' for the defendant. and were finally overruled by the Conn. 31r. 31•Dorwitell then called upon the Court to impannel w Jury to try defetniant's qualt:ication under the Act 27 Oro. 111. chap. 25. see. 11, which recites the 10th William 111. secs. 2 and 10, which forbids any person saving or keeping any setting dog or bit:11„ wit; out having a freehold estate of lOW a -Fear, or a personal estate of 1,0001., or having a licence from the Justices as a trainer of setting dogs, under a penalty of U. The Jury were then sworn, and the following issue was agreed upon Whether John Redmond be possessed of pctsortil property to the amonnt of 1,0001. sterling —or be the son of an Esquire—or be seised of a freehold estate, of the annual value of 100/. sterling." After proof being entered into of the property anti rank in life of defendant's faiths% the Jury frilltilett the following verdict We find John Redmond qualified, being the sun of an Esquire." The I conviction was according)) quashed. Mr. 31•1Sonnell applied for costs, on the ground that defendant had been before tined, and on an appeal the conviction was re versed, and that this prosecution was more in the nature of s perse. cution than a fair application of penal statuses on a must unpopular subject.

It would be, indeed, extraordinary. if, with a surface of ter ritory so vast there should not be found soils adapted to the culture of every species of production known in Eu rope. The following article on the vine is mut:feel from an American Paper:—" We have already had occasion to notice the attention which the agriculturists of Pennsylva nia are paying to the cultivation of the vine.. late Phila delphia paper state, that there are perhaps not less than fifteen or twenty sit:cyan:s within as many miles of the borough of York, and nearly all c.onimeticeel within a year or two.' But Pentisylvaiiia. we are glad to font, does nut stand alone in this. We observe it mentioned in a New haven paper, that at a fete given there last week by Devid C. do Forest, Esq. there was placed on the table about You bunches of beautiful purple grapes, obtained from a young native vine, which was transplanted seine years ago, of the class of grapes so abundant in cur fbrestg. called fox grapes.

This morning, nhout ten o'clock, this stupendous bark was discermal to the westwaid, moving gradually up to wards Dover ; it happcned partieukrly fortunate that the wind was moderate front the IV.N.W., and, withal, fitte weather, so that a vast number of boats were won afloat, tilled with eager spectators, who sailed off and continual to ply ronittl her fur a considerable time while passing. Se veral persons were admitted on board, to whom tie: Cap tain (111 . 1itllar) behaved very couwously, and seemed disposed to afford every information in answer to toe nu merous questions propos, il. Ile stated that the vessel took the vronnil the day after the steam-boat left her, and laid four da...s in the river St. Lawrence, which be cont;iders to have been a fortunate circumstance, in consequence of his ' having taken out some of the cargo from each end to lighten and get her off ; and had it not been fur the relief aftbrded by this occurrence, she could t •t have crossed the ocean in safety. It appears she had been just seven weeks on the passage rout that River, and encountered two gales in crossing the Atlantic, when site behaved as well as could be expected front so unwieldy an object, having o❑ board io,ooo tons of timber. Its the last gale she strain:al considerably, and opened some leaks.

Extract of a private letter from a mercantile correspon dent at Gibraltar, dated the nth ult.:— "On my arrival 'here , after an agreeable voyage of eight days. I had the satisfaction of meeting our friend , of lenehureh. street, who has been lingering here near three weeks. lye was much surprised at my arrival. and questioned miterespeeting arty viers.

Fueling, however, that there were actuully more sellers than buyers, the latter being chiefly eloors. we deteamined to be convinced teen the c• • !once of our own senses, what was the real condition of that part of Spain we were most likely tovisit— the state of public feeling, their present views ate! future intentions. particularly as to cuainiercial concerts. !laving ascertained these matters, we might thee enabletl to twin a tolerably correct judge ment bow far to go, when and with whom to du bastions., the spun ' tutu of credit to e eire, if re &c.

Everything being landed and warehoused. we took our departure from Old Gib, early 00 the morning of the le"li ult., passed the lines of St. Roche, and at a village named Contoro, shout three miles beyond it, we sent our horst* baek, and hired a cabriolet. What a vast difference between travelling in this country and in our native isle ! The car riage* here ist• heavy, ill.caatrived vehicles; the roads deep, rugged. and randy ; and the mules sullen, obstinate Animals, that seem to bid defiance to whip or spur. As our utiset war to push on for Seville, we lost no time ; but travelling here tries your patience, and shout four miles an hour w2l the utmost we could achieve, our drivers being as dull and stupid as their cattle. We arrived at the above famed city late in the evening, and were set down down at one of the best inns. where we were furnished with good beds and excel lent faro. We started early the next morniug to take a view of the town and its environs ' which certainly far exceed the expectations I had formed of it; hut, like all other great cities on the Conti' • tit, you are surprised aril offended at seeing tl e proud palaces of gran. den near the humble dwelling of industry and care. There are, however. several streets and squares of handsome houses, the krchi. Lecture of many of them not interior. perhaps, to anything you have ever seen. You have, too, smut: beautifully TOlllllalle *pigs, which command extensive lieu, of the surrounding ceuntry, agreeably interspersed with wood and water. We had the precau tion to provide ourselves with introductory letters to wale of the rim mercantile house. in the city ; likewise some letters of intmduction given to us by old S., the Jew, who is well known here and at all the southern parts of Spain ; from him we de. iced very valuable 'thrice as well as instruction with respect to our future intercourse among the Spanish merchants. Ile has bin .tlf realieed a princely for tune, and, of late years. I understand, has added considerably to it by loans to men of business, and military men of rank, on good se curity. On the morning of the second day we presented our letters at the houses of several Dons, at each of which we were received with much kindness and urbanity. After some conversation as to the general state of national commerce, Sc. we opened our business by producing our respective invoices, a duplicate of which they re. quirA to be left in their counting-bouses, to which we pave a ready taunplience. being prepared el the purpose. We dined the other day with Don A—, at whose table we met several respectable merchants, must of whom speak very tolerable English. The can. venation was general. and I observed mine host and his company were very guarded on poi*: ties! subjects; but one aed all evidently felt hurt that french influence bad gained such In ascendancy iu the Councils of Ferdinand. Spanish pride was sermingle mortified at the degradation of their country, which had (ellen all much in the wale of notions. When the wine began to circulate rather freely there was less reserve. amid but one opinion was ex pressed as to the late invasion of their ti dfic neighbours ; and. from 'he best opinions i can collect, there is little doubt that the great majority of Spaniards arc lying by for a tit opportunity to ex terminate their invaders. The better kind of inhat...ants keep up a sort of polite intercourse, and exchange civilities with the garrison. while the lower orders have frequent bleiteriegs with the French soldiery, which the must rigid discipline rum not prevent.

I BIIITISII NAVY. I From the Philatirlp's;4ilemacraric Press The object of the mite of Mr. AdiEngton, the British Charge des Aff:tires. to the Secretary of State, respecting Signals to Pilots, has hem the tubjete of conjecture with 'natty of our fellow-citizen, aod of emelt um SlllllOl9 to the Officers of our Navy, who very naturally believe, that the lit itish Government would mat take the trouble to in struct their Representative here on the subject, without a nive, and that a mighty one, as that Government is sellout influenced by slight and unimpt.rtant causes. Tu ascribe to them a friendly motive, utter the experience. we have had, would he more than folly on our part. The navy of Go at Britain is her pride, her boast, aril her protection ; and everything that has a bearing on its character, or an iiifluence on its aggrandizement. is seised on by those interested in its exaltation. Writers have been emplm ell at great expense to bolster up the reputation of the ' British navy, and decry that of otir Republic. The exploits of our oftieers have been placed by them in the most unfa vourable point of view ; they have beet) charged with false hoods in the it official statements; and their most Wiling; success has hem ascribed to an overwhelniing, superiority of force, and not to superior skill and ceerage. Thee have been called " Copper Captains," cur ships have in derision been called " fir frigates," and cur flag " bits of striped bunting." Everything, in fact, that could be done to disparage the character of our navy has heeu attempted in England, and by British officers. They have asserted a superiority over our marine, and they have attempted, by every means in their power, to prove to the world that they are superior in courage, skill, and in telligence, to us. All that is wanting now is an acknow ledgment on our part of their superiority, and this acknow ledgment is called fur by the note of Mr. Addington, whose (Government, in the abundance of its care and toollottude for the welfare of our navy, is desirous of establishing 54.- nals for its preservation, as though we had not forethought or ability to establish them for ourselves ! But roust we follow the degrading suggestion—niust we submit to this dictation? A greater point of arrogance we Lave not met with, since the refusal of Admiral Halstead to return the salute of Commotion! Porter, " because it is at variance with the British naval regulations for any British flag office? to return the salute of any inferior fereign flag oflit.er with an equal number of guns!' The force commanded ov Cointoodoce Porter is three times as grt at as that commanded by Admiral Ilalstead on the Jamaica station, and the re. fusel of Admiral Halstead is the grossest insult to our flag. Where, let it be asked, is the necessity for any new sig nals fur Pilots? or what ineotivenierce has ever been known to result from the use of the Jack ? a signal knowie from time immemorial to pilots in every part of the world. Pride, national pride, is working at the rout—the pride of the British nation will not be satisfied until she takes the lead of us in naval matters. It is hoped, however, that our Government will reiwl with proper spirit, this attempt to encroach on us, and that the pride of our officers will nut be humbled by a compulsory conformity to signals of Bri tish dictation. Let England take care of her navy, we know how to talc care of our own, and we can fooeive nei ther the folly nor the preamuptiun of her Mileious interfee once in what belongs exclusively to ourselves. The .1;:ne of Hull, Captain Maddison, had her bows stove at Hav:s's Straits this season, with dime fish, anti would have gone down had it nut been fur the gallant behaviour of the masters aril cress of the Lady Jane of Newcastle, Captain Fleming, and of tl.e Resolution of Peterhead, Captain Phillips, who bore down to the Jane, which had then ten feet water in her hold, and lent her sixty men to assist at the pumps. Captain Maddison afterwards stood across the eountr) in march of a beach to repair his ship upon ; which icing accomplished well as the country and lateness of the sozson would permit, the Jane, as might naturally b e • e:zp:eted. did not return home, but, to the credit of all on board. took the ice again &oar, and got five more large tish.— We bear it is the intent:on of Lloyd's to reward the crews of ail the three ship', as a stimulus to the future example of others, when placed in a simalar critical situation. _ S.

The Original Correspondence of Lord Byron, wh:ch was suppressed by the Court of Chancery at the it:nous:o of his L.4ciship's Executors when on the eve of publieaticto in the: summer, is not likely, we are informed, to be totally lost so the world. The late Mr. Dallas. whose ‘• Recollections' are drawn as well from a long personal intimacy, as from the written tnemorials of his late Noble Relative, adotted a suggsstion of the Lord Chancellor, and embodied the substance of th. correspondence in the fonn of a narrative, which embraces a pei its! of his Lordship's carn‘r that is alt tretnely interestir.,-.
