The reigning Duke of Anhalt Coetheo. and the Duchess, his wife, during the journey which they made to Paris, in the conme of the last year. left their abjurations in the hands of the Archbishop of Paris. His Digit. nest announced the fact on the 13th inst. to his subjects in the fol lowing Proclamation. (Here follows the Proclamation.] The subjoined paragraph is from the Moniker Yesterday. before Mass, his Excellency Lieut.-General Count Po: .() di BorFo presented to the King, in a private audience, the letter of his sovereign notifying the death of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor Alexander Paulowitsch, and the new credentials by which his Excellency is confirmed in his appointment at the Court or France, as Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten . vale of kit Imperial Majesty Prince Nicholas, Emperor of all the li-Vsias, King of Poland, rite."

" You have lost your Ito war," stud the Monarch to these last. " I pardon you ; endeavour to recover it." They immediately supplicated the Emperor, with tear, of shame and repentance, to restore his confidence to them, sad made the air resound with loud buzzes. When the brave General .3liloradowitsh felt his death approach ing. during the night of the 26th and 27th, he ordered his sword to we brought to him, which having kissed, be exclaimed.

This token of respect will continue for one year, and be divided into quarters of three months each. In these directions we observe the following :—When their Imperial Majesties go to meet the body of the Emperor, and also on the day of the funeral, they w , ll wear on their heath a large veil of black crape, which will cover the whale dress. When the ladies of the first four classes' approach the body of the Emperor, and also on the day of the fune ral. they will wear large mourning mantles; and on leaving their houses. capes or veils of black crape, which will entirely cover the fine. The length of the train will distinguish the different classes : that et their Majesties the Empresses will be four arching long; that of her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess will only be three. The train for the ladies of the first two classes will be two archaises ; those of the third class an arching and a half; and those or tW fourth clam one archive. GIBRALTAR.

The Paris Papers which reached our office last night communicate no news with which we were not previously acquainted.

The Cunstifidiqnnel names three of the Consular Agents appointed by the French Government in South America. The repulse of I D 11A 11111 PA CH A it itHISOIOnghi is confirmed. [From the Courtier Francais of Wednesday, 25th Jan.] • PARIS, JAN. 21. A letter from New Orleans, dated 29d December, has been com municated to us. It contains the following details : The assembling of Mexican troops in the Peninsula of Yucatan and hf Colombian troops in the Isthmus of Panama, where all the veterans of Peru art anllecting—the activity with which ships are being built for both these Republics in the ports of the United States--the departure of the Asia to double Cape Horn, and the junction of all the Colombian and Mexi can forces in . the Pacific, leave no doubt of the resolu tion to attack Cuba. Toe English do not oppose this pro ject, as was at first Imagined. It is also to be observed that it is under these circumstances that the United States send deputies to the Congress at Panama, and have chosen them front among their distinguished Statesmen ; they are Messrs. Crawford and Galatin. Theinhabitants of Cuba have exact information of all these pre parations, and look forward to great events. The last letters from that island announce, that on the 224 Nov. there was a populous tumult in the village of Regla, two leagues from the llavannah ; though it was appeased it much alarmed the Members of the Go vernment, who see the danger of a general crisis become daily more immin ent. [From the Pitote.) CORTI:, JAW. 1. Twenty-six Hydriot vessels under Mantis have kept in check for twenty days the whole Turkish fleet before Patras, and whenever the Turks have attempted any offensive operation, they have been obliged ro return into their lines with loss. The delay of the Greek fleet in joining the Hydriot squadron induced Mianlls to leave the Gulf of Naupachus, to remove as soon as possible the trifling diffi culties which detained the other divisions so long at Spezzia. An English packet, which quitted the coast of Acamania twelve days after the departure of Aliaulis, yesterday brought us news that the Greek fleet, of 67 sail, wilt many fire-ships. had doubled, on the 22d ult. Cape Papa. A few days before Sachtury met near Selo two Turkish frigates, convoying 20 transports, He burnt one of the frigates, disabled the other, and took all the transports. The last news which we have received from the Peloponnesus are very satisfactory. Ibrahim Pacha had attempted to open himself a pas sage by Acrata, but he was attacked there by tondos, who killed many of his men, and obliged him to retreat. Another Egyptian corps was landing at the same time at Salons, hut the brave Rome lints drove it back to the beach, and it re-einbarked ; so that this expedition had no resale whatever. Ibrahim Paella, after having completely failed, and lost many men in his march to Arista, retreated into Naupachus, where he hastily embarked on board the Egyptian vessels, crossed the Gulf, and marched against Missolonghi. \Viten he arrived before the place he immediately gave orders fur a general assault, but the gar rison behaved with firmness, repulsed the enemy at all points, and obliged them to retreat into the entrenchments of the Seraskier. 111issolonght having been besieged for a few days by sea, began to want provisions, hut on the re-appearance of the Greek fleet, all the communications were free. CMIIIN NA, JAN. G. The bad weather has suspended the operation,. at Vigo; besides powerful engines are expected at Vigo from London. Nothing is THE I3RITISH PRESS. talked of but a new expedition to Mexico, for which we want no. thing but ships, sailors, troops, and, above all, money. Yet It seems that the new form of government which rules us ought to have supernatural means to give triumph to a cause which so nearly affects its interest. Every body complains of the dearth we suffer, but we bear it with resignation, because we always expect a favourable political Change. [From the Constitugivxsosel of Wednesday. lS, ] PAR JAY. 24. The Ministry have just advanced one step towards the new States of South America; but it is not even half • recognition ; it Is an Act which we do not know how to characterize. Em ployes have been appointed to reside at the respective governments. They are charged to take care of fur commercial interests, but have not the tide of Consuls, et even of Agents, because that would imply • kind of recognition. They are under the depart ment for Foreign Affairs, and hare, it Is said, by their instructions, received orders to correspond only with the Minister of Marine. They have no appointed mission, their passports being their only letters of credit. Such is the false result of • false position. We hope, but do not expect. that their mission will have the effect anticipated. %Ve know only the Dames of three of the new agents: M. 'Martin, for Mexico; M. Chaumette lhafosses, for Lima; and M. °orgy, for Cannon.

Lartri r, for the promotion of French industry. In another part of this days paper they will find an article from the Constitutionnek, explanatory of the proceedings that have taken place between the Directors of that in tended association and the French Government. The jealousy of all popular measures which characterises the statesmen of the Continent has, it will been seen, crushed the design, than which we can imagine nothing more per fectly free from political objection. t ..."' The Edinburgh Reviewers, in their article on Mr. A,lt'ut.t.ocit's discourse on " Political Economy," after bringing forward various reasons which should induce every one to acquaint himself—as far as he is able—with this comprehensive science, add, that " in addition to all these reasons for the general cultivation of this most im portant and most practical study, there is one other consi deration also arising out of the aspect of the times, that is, probably, of greater weight than any we have mentioned. We allude now to the rapid and remarkable progress which Me lower orders ate making in this and all other branches of knowledge—as well es to the distinction and visible predominance that attaches in public life to those who can counsel on it with authority. Of all the derangements that can well take place in a civilized community, one of the most embarrassing and discreditable would be that of the working classes becoming more intelligent than their Employers. It would end, undoubtedly, as it ought to end, in a mutual exchange of property and condition; but could not fail, in the mean time, to give rise to great and ttriscently disorders."—We consider this intimation as very full of meaning, although conveyed in terms which wrap up much of its true import. We have ourselves no objection to any improvement that can be given to the lower classes of so ciety, because we consider that whatever tends to advance the intellectual condition of mankind, tends likewise to their mural amendment. On this account we would with hold from them no means of instruction which they are fairly capable of receiving, because we should say, the more enlightened they arc, the more pure, peaceable, and orderly'. will they be in that relative situation in the community in which they are ordained to move. lf, owing to the in crease of Mechanics' Institutions and of Rickey() Lec tures, the working classes should even chance to become " more intelligent than their employers," we bad imagined that the only consequence would be, that their conduct would be so much the more rational and exemplary. But if—as we are here told—this undoubtedly will and one,/ to end " in a mutual change of property and condi tion," we freely confess that such a APIVOLUTION as this is a result which we did not at all contemplate, and which the reflective part of the public, we are sure, will not look forward to without alarm. The " great and unseemly disorders," which are to prepare the way for this "mutual exchange," will be—if we understand this language at all—very much like a breaking up of the foundations of social order. If the study of political eels nomy really tends to bring about such an overthrow as is here glanced it, the less it makes a part of popular educa tion the better : but, according to the Edinburgh Reviewers, " the lower orders will never be either contented, tranquil, or comprlable, till they are generally imbued with some, at least, of its most important doctrines." If the fact be so, we can only say that the teachers of this science ought to take great care what direction they give to the minds of the multitude; for otherwise, judging from the present opera. tion of their doctrines, the " unseemly disorders' . will be upon us before we are aware. Hitherto the lower orders have not apparently benefited much by their instruction in this new school of science. The course pursued by them under the combination system is a melancholy proof of the small price they set upon the rules of justice, in settling what they may at any time conceive to be their rightful claims. But, according to the doctrines of the Edinburgh critic, this does but speed forward the desirable end without at all intercepting the blessings it. is to bring with it. " Combinations and 'strikes of work,' says he, "may be nccersary, upon any variation of circum stances, to bring things sooner to their proper level—like shakes given to a clogged engine, or the jerks df a machine not working sweetly—but they never can effect the grand results." When we look to the spirit that is abroad, and to the aspiring body of scholars that are to be imbued with such opinions as these, we fear that to the commercial part of the community, and to the manufacturing industry of the country, " the grand results" will be perilous in the extreme. We have drawn attention to this article in the Edinhurg,h Review, from a conviction that it is calculated to do harm, by bringing into odium the science which it is manifestly mast desirous to advocate. However we may object to the application of the principles of the new school of Poli tical Economists as ill-timed, we still consider them as having opened a field of valuable iuyuirv, and have no wish to see their researches brought into disrepute. On the :mbject of free trade they carry their system much fur ther than we think it can be safely followed, because its operation is uncertain, and its result incalculable; but we still have no objection to the endowment of Lectureships or Professorships in this science, nor to any courses of in struction delivered at the Mechanics' Institutions. We have no fear, should even the working chases become " more intelligent" than their employers, that it will ever end as the Edinburgh Revitlem think it osg/a. We are willing to admit in candour that their language on this head was unguarded, and that they would be among the foremost to disavow the dangerous consequences which they ~. ~ have given their opponents occasion to draw from it. Our only desire is to caution them in these tittles against the re. petition of it. CITY, FRIDAY EVENINO. The Stock Exchange bore an improved appearane, this morning. Then was a good deal of business doing in the British Funds. Thc opening pike of Consols was 8U1; a large quantity of Money Stock being thrown on the market, there was very soon a cline to 80. The quotation afterwards advanced to 8o ; but from that point gradually fell to 1, at which it closed. For the Account Consols were improv ing, they opened at bui and finally reached a. The price for Money varied to 3to j leas than for the Account. Small Excheyier bah . ; were at 4s. prem., those for larger sums at par and 1 discount. In the Foreign Market there was little business transact ing. The prices -,..ere nearly the same as yesterday. Colombian Birds were .58,1, Mexican 681, Brazilian 63. Greek Bonds were in great request, and consequently rose I per cent. ; Russian were 84, and Spanish 141. In the Share Market everything is still languid. ' Anglo- Mexican Shares were selling at par ; New United at 6. The other Cetepanies are unworthy of notice. • Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Srst Cabinet Council, to make arrangements fur the meeting of Parliament, was hPld'itrihe Secretary of Stag's Office for Foreign Affairs, in Downing-street, which sat in close deliberation till near nee o'clock. There were present at the Council, the Earls of Liverpool, Harrowby, Westmorland, and Bathurst, the Duke .of Wellington, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, Viscount Melville, Lord Bexley, Mr. Huskisson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Wynn. Yesterday the Duke of Atholl transacted business at the Secretary of State's Office for the Colonial Depart ment. THZ LORD CH A NCILLOR.—The answer to the inquiries yesterday, as to the health of the Lord Chancellor, was that his Lordship was somewhat better. We perceive by a St. Petersburgh Journal of the 26th December (7th January), with which we have been favoured, that the article which appeared in the Muniteur of the 20th, and the Journal de Paris of die 21st January, was a literal transcript from the official account in the Itusiiin paper. There is not in that account throughout any assertion that cries for a constitution were hearth. Consuls for Ilayti have been appointed by Swedenand by liamburgli. Extract of a letter, dated Cadiz, Jan. 9 :—" The Preach engineers have been more than seven months engaged in throwing up a parapet all along the line of wall, which is broken down from nearly the corner of the Engineer barracks to the Castle of Santa Catalina. Between these points the wall runs zigzag, and they are, more or less, fol lowing up its course. The weather has been so stormy lately, and a heavy swell rolling in from the Atlantic, that the Terre-plein of the rampart became undermined, and a considerable portion of the parapet fell in. The parapet is at least 22 feet thick ; and from the ground to its crest is 748 feet in height. This parapet has got no brwrquetie. In the event of an attack from sea it would defend nn im mense army drawn up behind it. They are going fast on with the work, and two-thirds of it are already completed. The General (Guidon) has been engaged here these last three weeks, inspecting the whole of the division under his command, particularly those stationed at Chiclana, Puerto de Santa Maria, Xeres de la Frontera, &c." By letters of the 6th of Murata. from New Orleans, it appears that much distress existed there, in consequence of the small demand for produce on European account com pared with the abundant supply which the market was likely to receive. A letter from Singapore of the 19th August states, that on the 11th of that month his Majesty's ship Larne brought into harbour the American brig Governor Endi cott, of about 280 tons burthen, which she had detained for a contravention of treaty, in endeavouring to trade with Singapore, the privilege of trading by the Americans being restricted to Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, and Prince of Wales Island. The Captain of the American brig admitted that he intended to trade with Singapore, but protested in warm terms against the seizure, as being a violation of the rights of nations, unsanctioned by any particular article of the treaty in question. The Captain of the Larne, on the other hand, maintained his right to make the seizure, and the question excited considerable interest at Singapore. The American Captain was waiting for an opportunity to send his account of the affair to New York. The letters from Hamburgh through Holland, received yesterday, are dated the 20th inst. They fully confirm the report of the assistance given by the Senate of Ham burgh to an old and worthy senator. The amount given in one letter is stated at nearly 120,0001. sterling ; in an other at 30,000/. The accounts frotn St. Petershurgh by this conveyance state that perfect tranquillity continued to prevail in the Russian capital. At Hamhurgh the frost continued to be intense. The letters from Holland say that the thaw had commenced there. _ _ _ There is only one instance on record of a Senator in Hamburgh and his affairs were in such a desperate state, and so extensive, that all common aid could be of no avail. The circumstance of his proceeding in state to the Senate House, and his tesignation of his dignity, forms still a favourite therm with the citizens of Hamburgh. ...... _ ._. Letters from Augsburg, received on Thursday, mention the failure of the eminent banking-house of Carli and Co. of that city. We are sorry to state that another American house at Liverpool has suspended payment. The Sheerness bank has re-opened fur the payment of its notes, but not for general business at present. Pi.vmoClti ItsNE.—A fourth meeting of the creditors of Sir Wm. Elford and Co. was held at Plymouth on Monday last, at which Messrs. Lockyer, Browne, Kers will, Prance, and Govett, were appointed assignees ; and Messrs. Harris, Rowley', Harris, and Co. Treasurers to the Bankruptcy. In consideration of the late pecuniary calamity here, Government have most handsomely caused all pensioners and half-pay officers to be supplied unusually early with the pay-tickets to Christmas, and instead of supplying the latter with bills of exchange the orders were peremptory on the Treasury department of our dock-yard.--Plyourath Journal. STATE Or TOE COUNTELV.-At Darlington one-third of the people are out of employment ; at Norwich 10,000 ; at Huddersfield there is quite a stagnation • at Nottingham and Leicester half the bands are unemployed. In the greatest part of the manufacturing districts, one-half at least of the operative mechanics are out of employment,. not including such as are employed in the manufacture of hardware. The letters from all parts of Scotland, but particularly in the districts of Dundee, Arbroath, Aber deen, &c. state that the various works are stopping daily. Factories to a large extent have already stopped, and the greatest alarm is beginning to prevail with respect to em ployment for the people. In the districts last mentioned we are assured that one-fourth at least of the hands are out of employment, and the number must increase daily. Manchester, which, with the rest of Lancashire, seemed for a time untouched, according to the letters last received, is in as distressed a condition as Scotland.—Leeds In lelligencrr. Tue. (hors 'f Kans.—We alluded in our last to the' very unsatisfactory state of this branch of manufacture, and to the fears entertained that the masters would be ulti mately obliged to dismiss a considerable number of their hands ; although this painful step has not yet been taken to any considerable extent, still a partial discharge has been found necessary, and much individual distress is con sequently felt, the first symptom of which is, that the goods, &c. of the discharged workmen are daily finding their way to the pawnbroker's, and it is to be feared that the parish pay must ,ultimately be resorted to. As it is obviously the interest of the city and county to use every effort to avert the serious injury which threatens the glove trade (which gives employment to upwards of 30,000 men, women, anti children) we again beg to suggest the pro priety of petitioning the legislature, at least to delay the introduction of foreign ,gloves. The master glovers are already preparing petitions to this effect.—Worcester Jour-nat. FAS!! 10X A 2 LE I.N TE L tIG &Wit.

The parish of Clerken well held a; public meeting on the 20th May, 1625, and was the first to agave t 6 an Address of Thanks and Congratulation to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, for the manly and eonstititional support which, in Parliament, and as a Pet r of Parliament, he had given to the Protestant throne and the Protestant altar. The absence of one individual, who was called from home immetliat, ly after the meeting had taken place, and who, it was desired, should accompany the Address, unavoidably prevented the presentation to the Heir Presumptive till Thursday last, when a deputation, consisting of Roger Staples Fisher, Esq. and other gentlemen, waited upon his Royal Highness, and were most graciously received. The Rev. It. Milne, curate of the parish, who mom panied the deputation, addressed his Royal Highness in a neat and appropriate speech. Mr. Fisher, the Chairman, then read the Address, to which his Royal Highness replied in the following terms TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE PARISH OF CLERIETNWILL. "GEKTLLMEN,—In returning you my sincere thanks for the honour you have done me in voting the present Address I beg to assure you, that I derive great satisfaction from finding that my public conduct has merited the approbation of so respectable* body of persona as the inhabitants of the pariah of Clerken well. (Signed) " FREIIk:HICK." COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE, Yesterday evening Venice Preserved was performed at this theatre, for the purpose of introducing Mr. Warde, for :he first time, as Pierre, and Mr. Serle, as Jaffier. The style of these gentlemen is now known to the public, and it will, perhaps, be sufficient on this occasion to say, that each of them acquitted himself as every one who had seen their former displays on the London boards would have expected. We cannot congratulate either on any signal success in the personation of his part, though we readily admit that they both manifested considerable talent in the characters they had chosen. Warde's representation of the reckless soldier was manly and spirited, and more equally sustained than some of his other parts. His death was striking and impressive. Serle's J:7 flier was to the full as whining as it ought to have been. His action was grace ful and almost redundant. The attention of the house was intently fixed on the performance; and, at the close, the applause was warm and general. RoYat. DONATION.—His Majesty, with that sponta neous beneficence by which he has been always distin guished, no sooner heard of the situation of Mr. O'Keefe, than he ordered a donation of one hundred guineas to he immediately forwarded to him, and was at the same time most graciously pleased to direct a similar sum to be an nually paid during the remainder of the dramatic veteran's life. The serious dramas L'Eroe di Lancastro and Fedra, from which a Selection will be performed for the first time in this country on Monday next, at the King's Theatre, are, it is reported, the productions of a noble diplomatic character. The public will have an opportunity of hearing, on Mon day next, at the Opera (louse (besides the phalanx of vocal talent assembled on the occasion), the most beautiful hand in Europe, consisting of about :-200 professional men of the first talent. Madame Bonini has consented to sing at the Choral Fund Concert. _ It is stated that the American Tragedian (Mr. Pelby) was not permitted to appear at all, to play fir nothing, be fore the British public, till he had actually deposited loot. for a guarantee to the house! The library of the Marquis of Sligo, lately burned, was a saloon, on which nearly 20,0001. was expended within the last few years, and was certainly one of the most per fectly chaste specimens of architectural beauty in the king dom. Nearly the whole of the valuable collection of books, shells, and minerals, that it contained, are destroyed. Henry Cowper, Esq., the reiative of the celebrated poet (formerly also in the office), after having held the of fice for about forty-five years, is mentioned as about to retire from the situation of Assistant-Clerk of Parliament to the Howie of Lords, at the commencement of the ap proaching Session. It was, amongst other things, his duty to announce the Royal Assent to the Bills in the old Nor man French of " Le Roy/ le veld," fir. It is rumoured that the heir-apparent of an ancient and most respectable Roman Catholic family, whose mansion is in the immediate vicinity of a neighbouring watering place, has recently become a member of the Established Church.—Preston Pih.l. _ _ ANOTHER CHIMNEY-SWEEPER SUFFOCATEM—On Sa turday morning last, two boys, chimney-sweepers, were engaged, in the absence of their master, to sweep the flues in the Turkey Paper NHII, near Keighley. One of the boys, named Henry. Johnson, proceeded to clear them of their contents, but after staying a considerable time longer than was necessary, and, after being repeatedly called on, the other boy went in search of him, but hail not proceeded far before he was obliged to retire with nearly the loss of his life. After being three hours in the flue, the unfortu nate boy was extricated a corpse, from suffocation. A Jury is summoned to investigate the case. The little sufferer was fourteen years of age, and came from the Fensrin Lincolnshire. He related • few days before his death, to a gentleman in lieighley, a most affecting narrative of his adventures; lie gave his name as above, and said bis father was a stone-mason, and in comfortable circumstances, but apprenticed him to a chimm y-swceper, in his own neigh ' bourhooil, a few years ago. His mato not having sufficient employment for him, made him over (as he expressed it) to one of the profession in Leeds. The latter, after employ ing him some time, disposed of him to Peter Hall, of licightey, who, he said, used him most inhumanly, often heating hint, and allowing him nothing but soot bags to lie upon !. Ile further stated, that as soon as the weather was warmer (for he had scarce any clothes to cover him) he would beg a few halfpence, and contrive to visit his father, and once more solicit him to take him under his protection. If the above narrative he true (and he related it with tears in his eyes), the conduct of the parent is atrocious in the extreme.—Leeds Inteillgencer. THE LUCKY BROTHERS.—Mr. David Jones, of York street, Westminster, having rather a dirty bank note, which a shopkeeper refused to change, sent his wife to try if she could purchase a share of the number of the note, 8,t31, in the Lottery, which she did, and it was drawn a few days after a prize of 20,000/. His brother, John Jones, who kept a public-house in the same street, being determined to try his fortune in the like way, he laid by all the dirty or soiled notes he took in trade, and before the next lottery he selected the worst in appearance and purchased with it a share of the No. 4,107, which was also drawn a Prize of 20,0001., and thus they acquired in the neighbourhood the appellation of the Lucky Brothers. iNOE YESTERDAY. rLeghorn ,Genoa Venice 0 Malta ll Naples 39f Palermo...—. ...per os. 130 Lisbon 314 Oporto 31 ItioJaneito 43f I Ilabi• 48 Buenos Ayres 434 Dublin 0 Cork 0 IBULLION,FiII OZ. k. a.
