The French Papers of Friday announce officially the re capture of Tarifa by storm, on the afternoon of the 19th inst. One Chief only of the Spanish Constitutionalist:, it Is said, escaped, in a boat ; the rest were either killed or taken, and we are told that the prisoners have been deli erred over to the vengeance of the Spanish Covernment. If this intelligence he true to the letter, and we confess we were from the fiat apprehensive that the desperate en terprise could have no other termination, it will be unlikely that any other attempt will be made at present to disturb the death-like slnwhas of Spanish liberty. Our private ac counts from that unhappy country,however t are nut in accord ance with the recent newt; and, as we have the fullest reli ance on the authority from which our correspondent derives information, We feel it our duty to call the particular at tent/on of our readers to the contents of the letter we received from him I:.st night. Front h's statements it would seem • that the French l'onstitutiona'. Torrijos, had pea sesxd himself of A lgesiras. and that the people have joined him in great numbers. It further appears that he has a sufficient bit r ply of money, and that he distributed considet able !toms in the several districts through which he passed, a eireuen•tanee which cannot fail to increase the number as well as to ►trengthen the confidence of his partisans. On this occasion we prefer giving the eonin 1111 l ieation in the very words of cur correspondent, who obviously had writ ten and cent it off in haste : •• (fie 'cure de Cadiz, du tt Aout, emits par un airier Frans/kis, macaw, qua Tor, ijos s'eat empari ct Alg vitas, ct que bcaucoup do monde s'est joint ti lui ; it parait, ajoire cette lettre, quo rarttent no poi masque pas, car i 1 cn a repandue beauct up dans les lieu: an al s passe pe qui don grown le nombre de see partisans." We earr.estly hope that the present prospect of affairs in Spain will revive the long-depressed spirit of national pa triotism, and lead to the ultimate establishment of liberal in stitutions, and to some salutary and settled system of civil go vernment. We have always insisted that the conflict with derpotistn was far from being at an end in Spain, and that that high-spirited people would strike a:tain for fret dune ; and we yet trust that they will show to the world that they a re not sunk into that stale of hopeless degrada tion in which by many they have beat invidiously &pro s:oiled. The mural and intellectual condition of nations is too far advanced in Europe to give its oppressors any dunce of establishing their military dominion either in peace or in safety. The nttempt to do so, through any allimice of Princes, holy or unholy, must lead eventually to their own undoing. •1 him is a truth which they cannot he use soon ought. s will yet probably affind an example of this reaction. whiA, we hope, may serve as a warnieig to prevent the n...;Tesity of any other. The jest but dreadful vengeance inflicted by the Greeks on the Turkish garrison of desolated Ipsara is now placed beyond all (lonic It appears, as we before stated, that the Greek flr. t defeated the armament of the Capitan Pacha with ve:y great loss, immediately after the &sem bark:atoll of the Turks, and that, having driven the bar barians to take refuge at Mityleae, the Creeks returned, and put to the sword all the Turks they found on the island. We rejoice to learn that the bravery and de votedness of the Ipsariotes, women as well as men, were of tl:c highest order, and that the abused lan guage we so often hear, of the readiness of men to die in defence of their country, was not exaggerated by these most gallant patriots. The most glorious days of an cient Greece seem to open afresh upon us, to gild with unfading renown the struggle of the modern Hellenists for freedom and einelependence. S.veral Ilydriote fire-ships had sailed in quest of the Ottoman fleet. We shall look with anxiety for the news of their success. Every Chris tian heart must beat strongly in their favour. We care little about the Egyptian squadron, when the Capitan Pacha shall be destroyed. We have always doubted the sincerity of the intentions of the wily Viceroy, to waste his strength in terminating a contest which it is rather his interest to prolong. We know that the Paella of Egypt has for some been taking those steps which clearly indicate his intention to establish a sovereign dominion for himself over the provinces he now governs. His time is hardly yet tome toileclare himself, but be will, we are satisfied, take good care to husband his means for own defence when cir cumstances shall render it prudent and necessary for him to pat an cnd to the dubious 'policy he is now following. Samos was still unsubdued ; and if the Ilydriote vessels fall in with the Turkish fleet, its subjugation will not be attempted. The Turks have already suffered severely ; above sto,ono of their troops have been sacrificed to the' manes of the massacred Greek Islaneltrs. Success has raised the ardour of the Patriots to enthusiasm, and they' fight like men to whom victory is assured by the promise of !leaven. Another defeat will take from the Turks all hope of again subduing any portion of the (;reek territory. The expedition of the Capitan Paella was the Bernier effort of the infidels. llenceforth they will be driven to defensive minium, and they will deem themselves fortunate if the inspired zeal of the Christians sutlers them to continue in possesetion of an acre of the soil once commuted by the holy influence of the triumphant cross. The Water Cumpanies have, in an Evening Paper of yesterday, published their defence against the animad versions we have felt it our duty to make on the ncgli• gence and delay manifeateti in the supply of water on several recent occasions of conflagration. In the first place we arc told that our observations have been unjust,. because they amount to "an attack upon the British character generally, as if, in such a case of emergency, there could be a hesitation to render that important assist ance which the Water Companies (whose directors are known, and respected wherever known) have, more than others, in their power to supply." Laying aside the cant and absurdity about "the British character," which might as well be pleaded by cviry other delinquent in his vindication, we answer the rest of the paragraph by referring to the facts to which we have lwfote ad verted. In the cases of emergency which have occurred, " the important assistance which the Water Com panies have, more than other:, in their power to supply," has not been rendered. Why then are we asked, whether we can believe they would hesitate to render it ? The pub lic knows that a'ter repeated warnings and admonitions the Water Companies have col t:nued to negleef the furnish ing cf that early and abun lint s itply, by which we have it in evidence, before the Police Magistrates, the destruc tion of several houses and much property might hive been saved, to say nothing of the danger to which human life has been thus wantonly exposed. To what purpose do-the Water Companies ask us, " how can you suppose us capable of this shameful and wielcd negligence ?" when the fact of the negligence is notorious to all mankind ? With regard to the allegations din the watchmen on the premiges of these Companies3havc " directions to watch ilia atmosphere, and whenever from appearances a fire is supposed to have commenced, to call up the superintend ent, at whatever hour of the night," in order that " the earliest assistance tnay be given," we answer again by a fresh reference to facts. Whatever may be the plans and arrangements of these Companies, the " earliest assistance" is not given ; and we may perhaps doubt whether these plan■ and arrangements ate of the most excellent description, when we hear the tureen& of the Lambeth Company stating, that he lives a mile and a hall from the water-works, to which he must proceed and awaken the engineer, before a drop of water can be had ! I Rut the Companies say that they are " accused as if they had failed in some knouni and imperative duty." This is certainly shifting their ground. Feeling it un stable beneath their fett, they have recourse to the paltry plea, that the duty of supplying water in cases of fire, is not " known and imperative." If it be meant that the duty is not, according to the law of the land, known and imperative, we must concede the point, if that will avail them : but what shall we think of the good feeling and moral sense of these Companies, when in effect they tell us, that they arc not bound by the strict letter of the law to give us water, and therefore that they will patiently look on while our houses are burned to the ground, and our families thrown into alarm and confusion? We are next told that "it is unreasonable to suppose, that water, which is necessarily supplied to parts of districts, at stated is rinds, and with known intervals, should always happen ;to be ready, although the fire should happen at one of thou• intervals." This is another pitiful subterfuge. Really tin se Water Companies must imagine that the pub lic are as weak in intellect as in resolution. It is not expected that " water should always happen to be ready ;" but it ilexpccted that such a system should be acted upon by the Companies as will allow the earliest and fullest supply when necessity requires it. The difficulty felt by these persons, that their " duty is not known and impe- native," may be racily Removed, as w•e trust it will, by an enactment of the Legislature. Every public body, with exclusive privileges, ought to be rendered in some shape beneficial to society at large ; and as the Water Companies resent as an imputation upon their patriotism, that they should be suspected of nut sharing " in the general zealot' Englishtnen" with relation to these too freeirently melancholy accidents, there can Lc no °fejt ctien en their part to the imposition of a "known and imperative duty" next Session. We pass over the arguments founded on the lowness bf the premiums of because, in answer to them, and to all that can be a:tiel in defence of the Water Companies, if a quarto volume were written, there stand the incontrovertible facts, which no sophistry can obliterate, that at all the recent fires in the metropolia, the want of water has been a general matt,-r of bond coin punt ; and that in almost every instance the conflagration ban extended much beyond the bounds within which it anight have been confined, if water could, Well after the discovery ,of the fire, have been obtained. Last werk, Hutt Mariano Egana, late Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in Chili, with his Secretary, Mr. Barra, arrived in London. They came in the Royal Sovereign, winch made her passage in ninety-ow days from I'alpa- Talmo. We understand that Mr. Egana is appointed Mi nister Plenipotentiary to this Government, in consequence of Mr. Hisarri's repeated requests to he recalled. The following diplomatic changes have been determined on : Sir Charles Bigot goes to Paris to succeed Sir Chas. Stuart, who retires on a pension. Mr. Stratford Canning sureeeds Sir Charles Baited at St. Petershurgh. Sir Win. A'Court is to go as Ambassador to Lisbon, with a salary of s,OOO/. a-yea►. S:r E. Thornton is to succeed Sir %Van.

Accordirg to the Recounts which we have r ecitted front Smyrna and Constantinople, and also by way of Italy, no doubt remains of the truth of the news communicated through us, of the destruction .fall the Tusks who had landed at Ipsara. 1: appears from the reports, that the blowing up of the fort of Sit. Nicola destroyed the stunt of the Turks who were about the fort ; that the Greek fleet, of 64 sail, scat by the Government from Na poli di ltoritania to the aid of Ipsara, attacked the Turkish fleet, and it Is positively stated the result was, that rib gun-boats, 8 doors, a corvette, and 3 frigates, were taken or Intent, or otherwise destroyed ; that the (;omn•ander of the Turkish fleet, favoured by the wind, fled u• blitylene; that on the subsequent landing of the Greeks at Ipsara, all the Turkish gar rison was put to the sword ; so that the Greeks remained in posaession of the island. The Greek fleet then sailed in search of the Capitan Paella. It is further said, that the Greek:, had landed on the isle of Chios, sad that all the Turks in the village of IVollina were killed. The beaver, of the lien** of !pars is unparalleled; even the women toot part in the combat, with the sante co mess and bravery. The number of Turks who perished is estimated at 22,000. Accounts art Impatiently expected of a second meeting with the remainder of the Turkish fleet, which, it in notiloubtal, will be to the advantage of the Greeks. The ardour with which they are inspired is a sure protege to victory. We learn from Caere that the report which had heen circulated, that the Capitan Paths would go from Ipsara to attack Somas, was a mere feint/ to deceive the fireekn; the Turks, proud of their tem porary PaCCOS had conceived a bolder plan, that of attempting the conquest of t he iniportant island of Hydra, which is the centre of all the naval force of the Checks-H owever, the Capitan l'acha being aware of the important means of defence which secures hy dra from a cony de main, and knowing that the troops which coin pose the garrison are all natives, Los shewn much hesitation in his conduct, fur, at the departure of the last courier, who brought des. Ipatches to the English Government in die lonian Islands, the Ot- unison Admiral was still oil 3litylene, where he expected the Egyptian squadron which was to leave Candies to join him. The Turks haring massacted the traitors wile delivered up to them the post which was confided to then in the Isle of Ipsara, will be a g►eat obstacle to the success of the attempts which the agents of the Capitan Parka may make to corrupt the Albanian Chiefs its the •other islands of the Archipelago.

Mr. Abraham Monteflore, whose death we announced, was the second son of the late Mr. Joseph Montetiore, of Kennington, Surrey, an Italian merchant, who placed I • out at an early period in the silk trade, as apprentice to Mr. Prater, of Noble-street, Cheapside, with whom he continued seven years. Leaving Mr. C'rater's he entered into the silk trade on his own account, and married Mary, the daughter of Mr. Q. flail, late of Russia-row, Milk street, by whom he has one daughter ; quitting the silk trade he went abroad for some time, arid was at Wal cheren at the tune of the ill-fated expedition to that island ; he afterwards married the sister of Mr. Rothschild, with whose fortunes he identified his interest and became a lead ing operator in the funds, in which he has been 'eminently successful, having acquired, as report states, about half a million sterling. lie has left several children by his second marriage. II ASTI Non.—The workmen arc still busily employod at the excavations in the Castle, and the success which has hitherto attended them, will be an encouragement to them to make further search. Within these few days they have discovered the remain; of a stone coffin, in which three bodies appear to have been deposited. The heads seem to have been severed, and arc placed at the foot of the coffin, which is harrow, and into which the bodies appear to have been thrown with little ceremony. Conjecture will doubt less be busy as to what was the probable fate of these per sonages. The great size of all the bones discovered, seems to maim the generally-entertained opinion, that we have very much degenerated from the stature of our ancestors. Th.. fineness of the weather, on Sunday, induced sfata Bell anti his numero city to enjoy the rural scenes in the vicinity of the in is, and the concourse assembled at all the public tea-ga ens almost exceeded belief. The stage coach-masters reaped a plentiful harvest, and as one instance of the great profit accruing to them rsenerally, Prince, the coach-proprietor at Peckham Rye, sent 117 persons to town be the hours of seven and ten last night, exclusive of children; there are two other coach masters on the same ground, whose vehicles were tilled in the same proportion. At Cumbtrland-gardins, a serious commotion had nearly taken place ; unfortunately for the proprietors, the bakers had only furnished WO rolls instead of 900 as ordered ; consequently ut the brewd and littler hour, there was a general outcry for more not rolls; the waiters could furnish no more; the bar was beset by men, women, and hungry children, and had it not been for a timely supply of /nitrated new bread from the neighbouring bakers, the castle would have been stormed, and the unfor tunate inmates, perhaps, have fallen a sacrifice to the ravenous visitors. The whole of the establishment, con sisting of waiters, cooks, boots, and some acquaintance,' on die spot. were put into immediate requisition, to carve bread and butter for the half-famished crowd ; and at length, Mr., Mrs., and all the Wile /tuna retired perfectly satiaffed.

What ever may be said of the liberty taken with our great Bard in the catasuophe, in favour of Ceralefia, the well-merited reward of her filial piety is certainly a de lightful piece of poetical justice—nevertheless it is at a t;rrat sacrifice—we should like to hear Mr. Kean in the passages following her death in the original— " !fowl, howl, howl, howl I. you are wen of stone," ke.

The following is an extract of a letter from a youry, gentleman belonging to Greenock, dated Lima, April 1, 1824: _ _ . . The Spanish troops, 3.000 strong, entered this city on the 22th of F.bruary, mil immediately marched to l'allso to take lesssession of the Castles there. 'I hey have since marched about 2,10M1 of them to the interior to join the main body under Camerae, who is in the province of Jugs, watching the movements of Bolivar ; 1100 remain in the Castles of Callao, and there are about 200 here to keep the city in quietness. Since their arrival they have not treated the &hid', in general, very hospitably, and I am sorry to say that their friendship towards ts does not improve; but. on the coot,' -y, their conduct appears to be daily getting worse: they do every thing in their power to cross us; however, we must bear their in sults a few months longer. It is toy decided ;Onion that Bolivar's troops will be here in the latter cud of .May, or the beginnint; of June, at: , : that they will ultimately free the e flurry front the yol• of the Spaniard.

The magpies and jackdaws of Milan were carefully taught to salute the Emperor of Austria, on his visit, with the cry of " VI via Chervil" or, " Get away Frank !"—a circumstance which was omitted in the official account of his Imperial Majes.y's reception.

TIIFATRF:S. n O g ri s E h ßA soug -H° , B r : in:ants The great m E as S tec " ol Bl E l his benefit at this Theatre last, evening. The pri nc i pal piece selected fur the entertainment of the evening r e Der Freirehutz, in which Mr. Braham appeared fur th e thirtieth or fortieth time. Whether it be owing t o p lea merit of the music, or to the merit of the pe rforme r , or , as we think, to the combined merit of both, certainly' n r : piece has been so attractive, and so deservedly so, as that of Drr Feriae/4st%. On each night of its the Theatre has beat crowded to excess. Those w i, a were judges of music, u well as those who affected to be judges, thronged numerously to Fite it th e weed of their approbation. Hitherto Rossini eajoyed, as i t were, a monopoly of popularity; but Von Web r, b y the composition of Dr,- Frcischrtz, has certainly ' 414 . 4 in to divide the laurel of musical superiority the favoured Italian. Unquestionably there has Caen no opera by Rossini so popular in this country as th at o f %Veber. The compositions of Rossini are, as it w , r, standard productions and perfect models ; but an iitr kr : tial observer would, we think, find more real musical in ,„i t and science in the gay, joyous, and sparkling combinatio n , of the German composer, than in the productions of ti e southern rival. Mr. Braham, who is in this country will,. out the shadow of a rival in the profession of which he i, a distinguished ornament, gave all the exquisite songs of tin: opera with that powerful effect which extorts mira: and defies competition. A Mr. Beral, from t h e !lumps. of Lr P. den and lioningsberg, appeared as Caspar last eve MHz. p e has bren hut Mr three months a resident in this country he performed the part originally in Gcruntay, and, with due allowance for a foreign accent, and a few forein mu. fiarities, his performance was highly creditable. By a little more attention to English pronunciation, to English manners, and English style of tinging, he may, we think, become a very available a< quisiti .n to the English stage: but we should deceive him egregiously, if we did not in:. press on his mind, that lie has many things to 1 sms, as well as to unlearn, before he arrives at that station in Its profeesion to which his talents entitle him.—A cogent fol lowed the opera. Broadhurst gave "To Lacs' cc around, - as lie gives everything—with exquisit.: ferling and delirhtfull effect. But the merit of the conc:rt 5 4i , Braliam's " Santa who hoe ": lie was encored, and on both occasions he heaved the loud torrent likes load from his breast. Brabant requires to have the sweetness of hit voice sustained by its depth and power ; and in this, n well as in the songs of the opera, he has equal mans nit it s of sustaining himself in each respective esepa r i inente f his fascinating profession. Mr. Braham had a Gamper for his benefit ; and if we measure merit by the edifies which a performer contributes to the entertainment and delight of the public, certainly there is no perfonmr ulu presents claims more unquestionable, or merits suprier to those of Mr. Almham. C 01317120 TIIE AT Rt. The audience were presented last night with a new piece ' called George the Third, the Father of his People. The extreme and unreasonable length of the performance, and various delays respecting the stage machinery, &c. in- parable from a first exhibition, render it impossible lor to give snore than a brief outline of a production which tan I.nast, at least, the merits of perfect originality. Ms scene is laid principally at Windsor, in the neighbourboA of which Mr. Harlotry, once moving in the highest Link of commercial opulence, but now reduced to indigene wad beggary, resides, accompanied by his three children, two slaughters and an infant son. These constitute his entire family, and form his only consolation under the double calamity of the sleuth of his wife and the loss of his fortune. His eldest daughter, Rose, is attachtd to the young Lieutenant Goryi•ey, and is sines rely loved by hint iu rettins The officer is ordered to London, and his betrothed, us- able to witness the distress and sutihring of her father, which she is unable to alleviate, forms the rcwlut of following him to the capital. She leaves a letter for '!er father, informing him of hl r departure. The mascot overwhelms him with anguish, and as hilst he is lainenire his own misfortunes and the supposed loss of his child, 111 'is informed by Lord Adamant (a coarse imitation of L-1 Ogilby), then on his way to the Castle of Windsor, !hit the companion of his daughter's flight, and the caoe of his unhappiness, could be no other than the Prime. cf Wales, his present Majesty, then an inmate of the Itqld abode at Windsor. . Such-is, as far as we can collect, the main incident or ths performance, and upon this, as a foundation, our "that thinks proper to exhibit the domestic intercourse and pri vate habits of their late Nlajtsties, and of various men bets of the present Royal Family. It seems he is not satisfied with the industry of the biographer, w the research of the historian. lie is determined the labours of the dramatist must be also employed urea the subjects to which we have alluded.

In this respect, the • ation is stupid as wi !I ss nr verent. The political events of our late revere: Menseh'i reign, are also represented. M a r g aret Xi di , Le struts her h..ur upon the stage.

In aeldition to all these incidents our author has undertaken a snore diffi cu lt Lei:: lie hes introduced us to those attic feasts at which the P:ineo of Wales presided, surrounded by all th. axial wit, tatent,ard literature of the empire. Amongst the list of his High ness's company we find the names of Mr. Fos, Lord Erskioe, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. iVilberforce, &c. If the names of these distinguished ornaments of the Senate and social hoard were not mentioned in the bills, we should not sus pect them to be of the party. We cents my hadno intense' evidence to warrant the supposition that they were rams , for Mr. Fox was without wisdom, Lonl Erskine was pa. featly silent, and a single gleam of wit was net emitted by the author of the Sehoot jar Seautra. The w pm-tentative of poor Sheridan was in our opinion guilty of one ruw propriety at the banquet ; Le was actually the tiret to rr Illiquid, the glass. This was, ii we mistake not, out of IIL keeping, and would have been snore becoming in Mr. Crumpton, a demure-looking person, who eras Moo this occasion the representative of Mr. ilberforce.
