Victor) Emmanuel, the King of Sanlinia, is no more. After a life of great vicissitudes, this well-meaning Monarch has quitted an worldly care for ever. The young Prince of Carignan was tit Paris when the account of Victor Emma nuel's death arrived.—Our Bayonne letter gives a most melancholy account of the situation of Spain. Nothing can be more dreadful than the state of things in that nithappy country. Anarchy, all through the provinces, wAs at its height ; robberies were constantly perpetrated in the capital; the fanatics were ceaseless in the work of tatlrtler and pillage in the provinces. This is the present happy state of things in Spain, and the result of aLsolute tyranny ! Th, French army forms the only check on gene ral iirmrrect ion, and its amount is again increasing : several re,gireents belonging to the reserve were artin entering Spain from the Eastern Pyrenees.—The Divan at Constati tinopl.. appear to be appalled by the succerses of the Creets. The Grand ‘'i2;!er, it is stated. was to proceed to the Nlorea with extraordinary powers. This proceeding will have no effect. The Greek; are now beyond the power of the Mussulman ; they would disdain anything short of complete independence, and will yet shake the o:taman throne to its foundations. The atrocious outrage of the treacherous 1)on Ptliro en 11:e persons of the Brazilian Deputies will probably end in his deposition, and the establishment of a Ilepublic all thrm:;ll Brazil. Hia own deportation is likely to foliate on the execrable stretch of authority by which sevtial of the leading Members of ;he Congress were seized by the tyrant's ordera, and hurried on board a vessel in waiting, to be tim; into dungeon on a distant shore. Though [lsere is n:uned as their destination, it is much more likely that the unhappy Dtputies will be taken to Mozambique, or some other of the Portuguese colonies on the coast of A film, and emit their days in dungeons, or as malefactor a, in chains, beneath a burning sun. What the tyrant's object has been in dissolvin;; the Congress and transporting its leading members, is not yet known ; the next arrivals fiont Rio will show whether he has been acting in concert with the faction in Lisbon, and, influenced by his intriguing trother and her partisans, intended to extinguish the inde pomience of Brazil, and renters again, if possible, the su premacy of Portugal ; or that the despot's aim was the at tainment of absolute power. The moat pressing letters l are known to bye been addressed so Don Pedro, some months since, by his moth, 7, Don *Opel his brother, and every member of his family, urging the exertion of all his influence to restore Brazil to the mother country. He was stated to have declined any interview with the bearer ; but the letters may have had their effect, and the tyrant may have attempted, in consequence, by a desperate act, to destroy the liberties of Brazil. It is more than probable that the same fate that awaited Iturbide is reserved for Duo Pedro, and that the Brazils will imitate the example of Mexico. Liberty we should imagine to be much too strongly sup pored throughout that great country to be shaken to its very foundations by any sudden abuse of individual setlimity ; Brazil, we are confident, will assert and main sail] her freedom. The arrival of the Creole, with letters to the 20th of November, referred to in the abort and hasty ones of the 26th, will probably disclose the real objects of this new attempt, and show whether it bat originated itt the intrigues of Portugal to restore its fallen power, or in 'Don Pedro's own ambition to put down the constitution in preparation, and grasp in his hands uncontrolled au thority over that free and rising country. The fever of feeling seal continues high in the West India Islands, particularly in Jamaica, on the important i;tiestion of the slave population ; and a motion has been made in the House of Assembly, to repeal the Registry Bill. We are not surpria'd that high excitation should x:st on this occasion, when we consider the property, the lives. anal the possessions that are at stake. But se are afraid the 11'tst Indians are going too far : their repeal of this sect would' be nothing, unless the British Parliament agreoil to a measure of the same description ; and there is rii probability whatever of suck a concession being made hero. If Parliament should not agree to any further mea- 1 Tires for the emancipation of the slaves, it is all the planters ran possibly expect ; but nothing that has been enacted v ill be revelled. If the Housed Assembly in Jamaica 1 pro( ed to repeal the Registry Bill, that House and the lititish Parliament will he at direct issue, and the cons( quences must be most ruinotur.and fatal. It is idle to teat of Jamaica, or the Leonard Islands, resisting the autho rity of the parent country ;.—they could not do gofer a week. How could they make the attempt, but by arming their slaies ? aril, that despairing atesaure once adopted, what bet-limns of the authority of a handful of white proprietors? They. with. their families, would be sacrificed at the first onset. We are persuaded that the conduct of bfr. Wilberforce, Mr. Buxton, and the abolition- , ists under their influence, who are pressing this I dange.ous %nation, is meet unjustifiable : to gratify an imistiperate and vetarian seal, they are urging the ruin of the property of thousands, and die ultimate loss anti destruction of the Sugar Islands, with millions of British capital at stake, in which they have no per sonal participation. The inspa, fiat Abolitionists are calling for measures on which they are wholly uninforincil, and pressing a question, that, if instuatly conceded, must drag down inevitable ruin on thousands. At the same time we think the West lodises are suffering their preju dices to outrun their judgment ; they are displaying much tun violent feelings—feelings which will make little for them when the discussion comes on. We are convinced slavery car not be r erpet nil in the il'esteru Islands, and that it most be graduaUy but ultimately abolished. The condition of the mimes in Jamaica, and all through the 11 est Indies, has of late years, we know, been greatly ame liorated, and we believe the change to have been in a great deiglee owing to the investigations instituted in this coun try. The fact is, toneeesions, atter all, must he made by the proprietors ; and they will set much more wisely in re.kirg to moderate rasher than arrt st the progrcss or the great measures now in action. We think too violent an alarm, without any pressing or immediate cause, Las been raised in Jami s ica, and such.a spirit will afford new argu ments in Parliament to the persevering abolitionist. This important question ought to be calmly discussed, and on the best information ; it should be debated without preju dice on either side. As to the petitions that will be pre- scnted, these are in a great measure worth nothing, and must be so considered. They come from men ignorant of the snbject, and influenced only by a blind and sectarian zeal. They. know nothing of the West Indies or its situa tion ; and Mr. Wilberforce or Mr. Buxton ought to be ashamed of presenting such pt titbits. Let their history be investigated, and it will be found they are got up in country towns, from individuals personally canvassed, who are ignorant of their real object, and are titis'ed by deep tlesign. Should such petitions, and on such a subject, 'carry with them the slightest %retied ? Assuredly not. The surest and the shortest means of destroying a free Government, and establishing a pure and unmixed despo tism, is by annihilating the liberty of the press. The people of England, taken in the mass, arc too high-spirited to submit to the open exercise cf arbitrary power ; but they are by no means sufficiently upon their guard against the indirect and secret attacks that are daily made upon their constitutional privileges by the law of libel, which, in the extent to which it hie.; been carried by this last verdict against Me. Hunt, as effectually extinguishes the freedom of the press u any censorship, however rigid, could possibly do. " he dangerous consequences," as Lord Erakine Lunt truly said, in his memorable speech on the trial of 'the Dean of St. Asaph, " of the doctrines established en the subject of libel, are obscured from the oyes of many, from their net feeling the immediate effects of them in daily oppression and injustice; but tl:at security is tmen porary and fallacious, it depends upon the convenience of Govern:nen' for the time being, which may nut be in terested in the sacrifice of individuals. and in the temper of the Magistrate who administers the criminal law." The sycophants of tyranny find this /we orlibel their best ally in all cases in which a victim is to be marked out for sacri fice: nothing is half so well calculated for the purposes of oppressions* this Gorernitunt-engine, which can at any time grind under its wheels the man, whoerer he may be, that the Court may choose to pick out as an object of vengraece, or to hold up as an object of terror. There can he no question as to the fatal effect that will be—that inevitably must be—produced by the present system of what is called the law of libel—a system at war with every principle that deserves filename of law, u well as subversive of every right by which the tenure of our liberties as a people are held. We earnestly hope that Mr. Hunt will yet move isi arrest if judgment. That supposed offence, of which lie is declared ratty, is an offimee an known to the laws of England; it is an offence unknown to the Constitution of England. That an opinion pro nounced in the reign of one monarch, delivered in the spi rit of conscientious conviction, is to deliver over the person who utters it to the stern vengeance of the law, because it may, by possibility, disturb or disyniel the mind If his snretssur—it is a principle unheard of! There is a con /t etroary among the Scrertigns of Europe to put down the liberty of Me l'ress. The Continental Press is already struck down. That part of the compact is fulfilled. In Bri tish Indio its influence has been recently annihilated, and its freedom is at an end. Thfsgreat example was intended to give the lead; and we may rely upon it, that it is not meant the precedent should be thrown away. Wit! uaiu England the press is enslaved—effectively, and with the most cunning foresight enslaved—through the medium of the hue ~r libel. It has a reach of despotism in its result that leaves nothing to consecrate the privileges, or to guard the rights of a free people, and nothing hereafter but tine and imprisonment can await any writer, who has the cour ve to speak the truth, or the virtue to attempt either to serve his country, or to save it. The Catholics of Ireland areydetermined to bring their cla:ms before Parliament, in the 'tree:vest manner, early in the next Session : they feel the justice of their de mands, and will press them unceasingly, until conceded. .Iggregate Meeting will soon assemble in Dublin ; Mr. O'Connell has given notice, in the Committee, of a motion to that effect, and the example will be followed all through the kingdoin. It will he a consideration with the Catho lics, whether they will not pray to be heard in support of the Bill for their relief at the bar of both I louses, and address his Mateaty, paying his gracious and powerful interposi tion also. We know that Mr. O'Connell, during his limited stay here, had a conference of great intevest with Mr. Brougham, anti that the sitzotion of Ireland and the Ca tholic question were fully canvassed. The luminous elo quence of the latter distinguished senator will be exerted prominently in the approaching Session on the distracted situation of Ireland. The Catholics in general, unhappily, arc not satisfied with the government of the Marquis leaky ; it is meat unfortunate such a feelintr should exist, but it cannot now be dissembles]. We do not wonder they should feel deeply mortified and ditappointeci ; they have been most unjustifiably treated. The body of penal law, still in full force against them, is an anomaly in the his tory of enlightened legislation, and a disgrace to the counsels of this country. Their petitions could scarce ob tain a hearing in a crowded house during the last Session, while the stupid bigotry of Sir Timings Lethbridge was patiently heard for near two hours. The tranquillity and welfare of Ireland, in which this country is so deeply in (crested, are in a great degree committed in this question ; its people never will be quiet or cot toned sender turnweltest proacrimion ; nor can six millions of Catholics be kept hi eternal bondage. No half-measures of qllected conciliation will do ; Government and the Legislature must make up their minds to act fairly and justly towards that country, or sec it disturbed from end to encl. if its peace and prospe tity arc to be sacrificed to the bigotry and politics of two or three Tory families here, let Alinisters at once declare so: let them state that the Manners family, the Ilert fortis, anti the Louselalea, arc the Leiters of Ireland, and control every measure of the Irish Government. The subject is likely to come early, and markedly, in the ap proaching 14,..55i0n, before the House. Mr. Hume will l i bring on hie motion for the extinction of the Viceroy's Court in Ireland, and the Catholics will (nicer their advo cates so as to ensure a full discussion of their claims. It is perfectly clear, the present discordant system cannot last ; it produces no good : without open hostility, it has all its results, and the consequences to the Catholics are completely the Lune.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER raox lIT%P.TERSACROII, DATED imexmara 1:?. None of the European Powers have more regular or more uninterrupted relations with C'hina•than Russia. These relations haveyubsisted em the same footing since I7YS, since the onnelttsion of tl.e first commercial treaty between die two empires. By this treaty the Russian Government has the right of maintaining at Pekin a hotel, two churches, an arelimandrite, with four ecclesiastics, and as many young nu in destined to acquire the Chinese and 'Mandchou lan pages, for the purpose of serving, on their return, as in , Lrpreters on the frontier or in the offices of the Minister cue Foreign Affairs. By the stipulations of the original treaty, all :hese persons should reside at Pekin only for ten years, but generally the ecclesiastical suite and the pupils of language remain for thirteen years. Till lately little at tention was paid to the kind of persons selected for the Chinese mission. 'they were frequently individuals of mean talents and limited education. A few only of the Russian interpreters brought up in China have hitherto :littered real services to their country and to literature, such as Leonticv and Vladikine. Of the last mission, which has just returned, I must speak differently. The Arch mandrite I lyacintlie, who was at the head of it, carried to, Pekin more natural talents titan any of his predecessors, and has gained higher claims to distinction by his inde fatigable study of the Chinese, and his extensive know ledge of other languages of the interior of Asia. Thirteen years spent in the capital of China, and employed in stub born literary labours, have enabled hint to accomplish works which will surpris.. those best acquainted with the Chinese language, literature, .and history. I shall merely enume rate a few of those works, which would aepear from their number and importance to be rather the united transactions of a learne I society, than the productions of a sin de indi vidual. The chief of them is a history of China, from the year 1367 before Christ, to die year 1633 of our era, which Is comprised in nine folio volumes. Another is a geogra phical and statistical description of the Chinese empire, socoinpanied with an extensive map, in the five principal dialects spoken in (Willi. The next in importance is a translation of the works of Confucius into Russian, with an ample commentary and learned notes. Besides these, he has composed a dictionary of the Chinese and Russian languages, in two volumes ; four works on the geography and history of Thibet and Little Bucharia ; a histo ry of the Mongolian Tribes ; and a translation of the code of laws given by the China Government to the Mongolian hordes wider its eissinnipt ;111 detailed description of tike city of Pekin ; and an account of the llyttraulic win ti executed on the banks of the Yellow River and the (Bleat Canal of China. In addition to these labours, the Arch mandrite /Iyacintlie has enriched the literature of his country with several treatises on the manners, the customs, the arts, rend sciences of the Chinese. It is said by his friends, that this learned person poasesses extensive literary treasures, of which his present position is little calculated to forward the publication. Whether from the freedom of bis political opinions, or from thelwant of that legitimate su perstition which is now so much in demand in the Russian church, he has been ordered to leave the capital, and to reside in a convent near .Irchangel. It is hoped that he will be recalled by the Emperor, after expiating his liberal sentiments or conduct by a proper penance. Saturday morning, the Earl of Liverpool left his seat at Coatnh R ood, for Brighton, on a visit to his Majesty. Friday morning, Mr. Secretary Calming left town for Coombe Wood, :Limey, the scat of the Earl of Liverpool, on a visit to the Noble Earl.

A paragraph has appeared in several of the daily papers, on the authotity of a private letter from Calcutta, that Mr. Thaekery, the barrister, having proceeded thither without a liceiree from the East India Directorship, had be.n re fused admission by the Judges, on the ground that the bar had aln sly three more their the prescribed number, and was ordered by the Government to return home. The sim ple fact is, that when he left this country, Mr. Thaek e ry had only provided himself with a licence, authorising him to reside at Madras. THE LATE ('HAR! I)IIII)IN.—GRAND MUSICAL FEwriv A I..—The stewards for the public festival in honour of the late Charles llilnlin, met on Saturday evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, when a letter from Sir desoph Yorke was read, in which the gallant expreattl hill_ferfetle !liiifttiltdis take the Idbair on theaserweioi k : Indio promote the lautiOde nndertaking in every way wit his power. Answers were also. received from several pro' fesaional gentlemen to signify their desire to add to the' eouviviality by their presmee, making up the list of mu sical performers to upwards of thirty, including alt the principal vocalists of the present day. The whole of the selection is to be from the works ot the late Mr. The gallery is to be thrown open to the lady subscribers, who will h e admitted by tickets only, and the company is expected to 'be more numerous than on any former occa sion, and many naval and military characters are to be invited. A color ONICON.—The selection for this instrument on I Saturday was extremely pleasing. It commenced with the overture Caliph q-Bu g tha. The air He's all the World to Me, and song Doke Thomtim, were delightfully executed, and most effective. There is something so sweet and deli : cate iii the perfonntince of a ft.vourite air capon the Apollo : nicon, that nothing seems wanting. The overture to La Donna del I.ao) is a mixture or Rossini's beauties and im cctiois, but in some parts very pleasing. ll'c heard it last season at the. /peva vary frequently • but the chaste ness and brilliancy of Mr. Purkia's pe rformance would raise the morture much in the estimation of the musical world. It was much applauded on Saturday. The Intro- duction and Rondo (Mochellcs), was a fine specimen of execution, and we have seldom seen the performances more effective altogether. IV: learn with gratification that the Committee of the Court of ('onimon Council, to whom was referred the con sideration of the state of the coal trade, have determined on recommending the appointment of 25 additional meters —a measure, which, if adopt d, cannot fail, by leading to a quicker supply, to lower the price of that moss nec.laxry article.

Last night we received the Paris Journals of Friday, from which we copy the following :- 1 From the Motateete.l lIAYONNE, JAN. & - - There is nothing new on the frontier'. The strictest vigilance is exercised at the proe%art lkhobie : those Spaniards who come without passports are not suffered to pa's. TOl'l.ol7gr, J 9. General Rottenbourg, commanding the Eastern Pyrenees, has been authorised by his Excellency the Minister of War to send into the Department of the Arviege and the Aude several regiments belonging to the division of reserve. The proceedings preliminary to the trial of the French deserters are expected to be hntshed in two months, when these persons, 34 in number, will be brought to trial. From the C'unriler Fre:menial INANKFORT, JAW. We learn from Eberfield that the directing cenincil of the Rhenish FAA India l'onimny has published its report upon the maritime exportations mink by the Company during the course of the year, I/P23. The re..ult of the report is, that there was exported to America, and chiefly to the colonies fomerly belonging to Spain, produce of Herman industry which returned con‘itlerahle sums. The nianufactories of Prussia have furnished in linen., cloths, cottons, iron, and other metals, copper, ironmongery, hats, glass, and ware, to the amount of 837,0110 rix dollars ; Saxony and Hanover, to the amount of 118,11011; the other Getman States, to the amount of ; the total amount of the exportations is a million and a-half of al: dollars. AVe hear of communications made by the Coon of Vienna, to Baron BiMortensen, President of the fiennanic Diet, which he is to submit to the anienibly. It is already certain that every thing will be accepted. Many Ministers and 31endiers of the mimic Chamber continue to arrive at Frankfort ; we notice parti cularly Baron B'essenthergh, the confidential adviser of the Em peror of Austria, and Baron Ifershels, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the /hand Ifuchr cf Baden. The last number of the Spectalcur Oricrthil, which reached us, rapt, that the Turks march everywhere without obstruction; and that every person is forced to acknowledge in them the chancier of power and superiority. Affairs are still unsettled, and a fourth can,. piticm would undoubtedly take place; but the Greeks sould never, ur assisted, be able to gain their independence. And of this they ate so conscious, that to extricate themselves from their dreadful situation, they generally desire (who will believe it %) a King,' a Sovereign. These are the words of the Aprclutersr; who, Lair. ever, hastens to add, you will perceive that this desire is already an important trait with all reflecting minds; but this inclination is warmly opposed by the Chiefs, who protest against any idea of the kind ; to the rest, there will never be the least unanimity in the operations of the Greeks. When permission is given to write, it must be done under the correction of a Pacha. The same jourmil mentions, that the executive power of the llellenisis is removed for the present from Napoli to Romania, and the legislative au. thority to Argos; and Piiilhallenists of rank have arrived at Hydra, where they have been most cordially received, and lodged in the best houses. They have made (it is added) a most singular proposition to the Greeks, respecting the Island of Rhodes; but the Sivflutrotr does not think proper to inform its readers of this proposition or any thing connected with it. Bites:4El.s, Jaw. 12. The sitting of the Second Chamber of the States-General have been postponed until the I;th of May, at which time there will be presented to its consider's:ion, different projects of extreme im. portenee. The Jsdicafrar of llourtleaux gives the following from ;Madrid, dated January 3 : • . . . " Two dais since a Swiss 11113 killed by some soldiers of the Royal (bard : one of the latter was arrested ; an officer caused him to escape ; but the officer himself has been arrested, and conveyed to prison." The accounts from Galicia are afflicting ; all that district is in motion ; and ft may be stipposod that the Liberals arc not spared. It is said that 20) armed men traverse Andalusia and Murcia. The day before yesterday the cavalry regiment of the Prince left the capital ; its destinaJion is not known ibut it is conjectured that it will march upon the provinces of which we have spoken. Au. other regiment has left Morbid this day. AU the Spanish troops will, it is thought, be removed. and the French garrison will be augmented to the number of I fi,lloo. The Prime Minister continues ill. The favourite and the ad vlaer of the King since his return is said to be a Sieur Tarte. The Archbishops and Bishops have addressed a memorial to the King on the subject of the various charges made against than, in not quitting the capital when ordered, being indisposed, dec. Ills Majesty has decided that all the staff officers of the city of Grenada, who voluntarily limned a part of the national militia, shall be deprived of their employments, if they do not prove before the Captain-General of the province that they were comprised in the deidaratioa of the li;th of last September. [From the Jou t . nal des Di:bats.] Manain, Jaw. 6. The King. in consideration of the heroism shewn in his last momenta by Don Antonio Lastrea, who was shot at Malaga by order of Itirgo, as one of the men moat devoted to the cause of the altar and the throne. has bestowed upon his widow the sum of 4,400 reale, enjoyed by heir husband. He has made a similar grant to the eldest son, the successor of his father. :The Mentoried Bordrldia contains the fallowing :- - JAN. 6. The Ring has Nat rained General Quentin Military Governer of the City of Madrid ; and Pascual Lignuw, Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo. Property of every description, belonging to the Tribunal of the Inquisition was latterly applied to the credit of the public; but his Majesty wishing to put an end to this state of things, bag ordered that all the property, pensions, and revenues belonging to this Tribunal, be in future managed by the Collector-General, and that the persons employed in the offices of public credit, charged until the present time with tic affairs of the Inquisition, should preserve them. Pants. _ _ After cor:menting on the warlike tone assumed by some of the English papers, the Courtier Frurfrail adds, after the language used fir three months by the English :Ministerial Journals and other more significant demonstrations, it is difficult not to believe, that if our Government gives the least assistance to Spain In an attempt to reconquer her ancient American Colonies, the British Cabinet will d :clare wcr. We cannot have forgotten the fatal con sequences which an English war has at all times entailed upon our country; and however great the lore of the new Minister may be foe the principles of the Holy Alliance; however he may wish to make ' them triumph in America, as lie has made them triumph in Spain; however he may feel himself disposal to make this new concession to the party which dreams but of war and conquest, we may be permitted to indulge a hope that the importance of the results which will follow this determination, will arrest the execution of projects which have awakened the distrust of England, and that South America will net he compelled to purchase by a new war, and by new sacrifices, lior ivlepentlence, of which no human power will be ultitustely alle to deprive her. Two Couriers, ore English, the other Piedmontese, arrived yes. toeday at Paris, announcing the death of Victor Emmanuel, King of Sardinia. This Monarch was aged 63. His death is sincerely re. grated by the people of Piedmont. Posterity will do justice to the courage and integrity of which be gave a rare example, when he renounced a throne rather than descend to oaths and digned de. monstrations of adhotion and attachment to a constitution which he d.rosed incompatible with the rights and perhaps the happiness of his subjects. The Prince of Carignan, having been informed of the death of his Majesty, could not go yesterday to a brilliant fete, which wee given in hts honour by one of the (Intends of the Army of Spain, which a great number of (Jeweils belonging to that army were present. The Journals of Madrid, of the 6th, received to-day, make no mention of the Decree of Amnesty, which, if we were to believe the Ministerisl Journals, wax to be published on the Day of Kings. Thus is the fourth time that an ep och has been fixed for the sp.! penrance of the decree, and that the hopes of those who expected it have been deceived. So many successive postponements musk* us think it put off to an indcintte period. A letter from :tante, of the lOth of December, announces that; Omer Vrione, disgraced by the Pcrte, has thrown himself into the ' antis of the Hellenists.
