NMI told, the whole body of the insurgents did out on' the 25th of January, the date of the latest accounts from Cadiz, exceed Y,OOO men, what necessity could 'General FRITNE have felt of assembling a force of 1 515,000 men, before he would venture to direct his.. march against the rebel camp ? or why did be permit so small a force for so lqng • period to brave the Royal authority, and disturb the public tran quillity? Advice, received in town from Spain, confirm the particulars contained in the French papers, of an attempt or a small party, headed by • person named SANTIAGO, to occasion a revolt in the town of Cadiz. The authorities in Cadiz exercised their power in this instance in a very prompt and efficacious manner-against the disturbers of the public peace, for SANTIAGO and one or two others of the ringleaders were immediately shot. From this circumstance no judgment can be formed respecting the general temper of the people of Cadiz, for SANTIAGO'S ex periment was interrupted before it could have had time to operate, and the character of the attempt is in the hands of his enemies. SANTIAGO wise evi dently • rash and intemperate man, but it is certain that he was accompanied by a party who probably had reasons to believe that their exertions would be extensively supported. The French Chamber of Peers assembled on Wednesday. A Report was made to the Chamber from the Committee of Petitions. Among the Pe titions we►e six in favour of the existing law of elec tions, sod one praying fur an alteration in its provi sions; but the Chamber, true to its early resolu tion upon this point, rejected all. The Chamber of Deputies has been engaged during three days in discussing the provisions of the law far securing the possessors of national do mains in the enjoyment of this species of property. The principle of the law is generally recognised. Ttir•ilay next (to-morrow) has, it is affirmed, been , fixed irrevocably by the Count DECATIII, as the day on which he purposes to present to the Chamber of Deputies his new law of elections. The discussion of this measure will, it is feared, excite in • high degree the angry passion. of the rival par►ies in the Legislative Chambers. The Five per Cents, are 74 f.; Bank Stock 1433 f. 75c. The Pence transport, recently arrived from the Cape of Good Hope, left that settlement on the ieth of November, and St. Helena on the 10111 of December, at which time BONAPARTE was well, and continued his out-door exercise in the grounds immediately attached to Longwood. His new house was nearly ready for his . reception, and it is in every respect • most spacious and commodious matisi cccc , containing, with a ball-room, seventeen excellent rooms. The Conqueror (flag ship), Tees, Abundance, and .A'asitilut, were lying at St. Helena. The Sappho, Captain PLUSIRIDON, sail ed on the 10th December, for the Cape of Good Hope, to bring the Governor, Lord CHARLES Sommers.. to England. The Peace 'oiled next day for Chatham. Friday morning arrived at Portsmouth the 7 /roma, wansport. from Barbadoes and St. Lucia, buying left the former island on the 3d, and the latter the sth January, when general good health and perfect tranquillity prevailed. The whole of the Leeward Islands were fast recovering from the de vastating effects of the late hurricanes ; at Barbadoes and St. Lucia the crop• were most promising. Lord COMBSIMERE returns to England in June next. The Elwyn/es (Commodore Memnon) railed from Barbadoes on the 26th of December, for St. Thomas's. The Thomas has proceeded for Woolwich, to land a company of artillery she has brought home. Newfoundland Papers from the 21st December to the 12th January have been received. The fol. lowing are extracts from the Royal Gazette of December 21:— " Yesterday an 'interesting trial was brought to issue in the Supreme Court, in the case of W. N. GLAscocK. Esq. Captain of N.

The da mages were laid at 2501. The Defendant admitted the libel, and put in a plea of justification, on the ground that Captain GLascocx had caused to be published in The Sentinel a certain article under the signature of Malaprop; tending to bring the family of the Defendant into ridicule. Evidence was produced to chew that the Plaintiff had been accessary to the publication complained of by the Defendant, and therefore the latter thought him self entitled to a verdict, or at least to a mitigation of damages. The Judge, in summing up, stated the law on the questioul that the article which med -the present cause of action was libellous, tie entertained no doubt; but it would remain with the Jury to determine how far it had been provoked by the previous conduct of the Plaintiff. The Jury retired for a short time, and returned into Court, finding for the Plaintiff, damages 101. The Court was excessively crowded:till the close of the trial, at five o'clock in the evening."
