Madrid, Jas. 17 ; Fur some time past a real amelioration is observed in the mane tenting, in Spain. In a country where everything has been so shaken by several revolutions, which have so raeidly succeeded each other, too much pratee cannot be even to the discernment of hie Sovereign, sad to the strength of mind by which, disengaging hkreielf from the fetters which parties had imposed on the exercise Obis authority, he knows how to force the chiefs of these parties IS Seiko another course, to profess moderate sentiments, and to con ftihiete to the grand object of the general welfare. After having Monoxl the movement of the re-action, and modified the decrees whisk inspired the greatest uneasiness , the King has turned Ms thoughts towards modifying the internal administration 0 his kingdom, and re-establishing the finances.

After the death of that officer, Colonel Stain's, who had participated in that act of rebellion, was followed by the Government troops. It is the same Colonel who, in 1823, first scaled the walls of Napoli di Romania. Ile was arrested near 'fripolitza, and con into the torn, where lie was tried by a Council of War, an d . of high treason, and notwithstanding his past services, as out off, and he wits immediately executed. This ex empliMetterhy will serve as a lesson for those who, because they bates - some acts of bravery, think themselves authorised to trout) e the public order to satisfy their ambition. Immediately after the Government, having been instructed of the part which somediscontented persons had acted, upon this movement of the younger Colocotroni, ordered a body of troops to follow them. These discontented persons are Lando*, Delis Janni, and Zaintis, torn of 6mM/et of proestns, who, under the Turks, governed the vs entry : they wished to have continued, even after the Revolution, the abuses by which they enriched themselves under the Ottoman feovernroent. Inftructed by too long experience, the people, in the last elections, had excluded them from the Government which pushed them on to the desperate enterprise by which they hoped to he able to repossess themselves of their ancient influence, now en tirely destroyed. They will soon undergo the punishment they have provoked by their conduct. The Greek Government at present feels the strength which the love of the people has given it ; and after havirg first granted an ammety to the factious, it is now resolvei. to employ that severity which will establish it still more. Patna continues to be closely blockaded by sea and land. The beim of the raising of the siege, which has been spread for several daft Past, is false • the departure of four ships which the Greek Aamiral had deta ched from hit squadron, stationed before that gees, and which he has sant to reinforce the blockade of Coron and Nodort, was the sole occasion of the report.

This latter iiinueht it his duty to com municate the JAWS to the syndic of the Exchange-broken, with out. however—which is quite worthy of attention—sny exchange of official notices having taken place on the subject.

The Supreme Executive Power has addressed to me the following Decree : • The Supreme Executive Power of the United Provinces of Central America. " Inasmuch as the National Constituent Assembly has decreed as follows. " The National Constituent Assembly of the United Provinces of Central America, anxious to promote the increase and prosperity of these Provinces, decrees the following Articles :- 6 ' Art. I. Every foteigner desirous of removing to any of the United Provinces of Cenral America (coosisting, at present, of Chigoe, Costarica. Nicaragua, Honduras, San Salvador, Guatimala, and Quessltenango), will be allowed to do it, on the terms and in the mar.ner most convenient to him. " 2. Every stranger who, conformably is the preceding Article, shall transfer himself to either of the above-named Provinces, shall be admitted by the Local Authorities, and shall be allowed to ex ercise, in full freedom and security, whatever pursuit, business, or occupation, he may choose, without excepting mining, since the laws which prohibited strangers from 'working the mines are at pre sent repealed. 3. Every foreigner who, being already in either of the above named Provinces, may wish to become a denizen in them. shall declare that wish before the Municipal Authorities of the district in which he chooses to reside. The Slunicipaftty, in such case, will enrol, in the censua . book of the district, the stance ef the stranger, and that of his family if it can be ascertained, together with the motive for his procedure, his age, condition, and occu pation; and after such inscription he shall be considered as a deoizen, and enter upon the period fiord by the Constioition of these States for acquiring the right of citizenship therein, erjoy leg. in the meantime, all the other rights inherent to natural-born subjects, and conforming himself to the provisions detailed in the fundamental law for obtaining the special certificate of citi. tenship. " 4. From the day on which any foreigner has become it denizen in any district of these Provinces, pursuant to the regulations of the preceding Article, he shall be capable. like every natural born subject, of acquiring any uncultivated lands, or any estates, in the district of which he is a denizen, according to the existing laws. "A. Every citizen of these Provinces, anti every stranger of whatsoever country, roar (even before he has become a denizen in the territory of these United Province.), for himself alone, or by forming a company, consisting of not more then three persons, enter into agreement for the purpose of establishing one or more new townships. In order to do this, he must lay the plan of such new township before the Government of the Province in which he wishes to found such an establishment. The Legislature of the Province will cause a strict examination to be made of such plan, and, if it be found conformable to the laws in force, and to the provisions of this Decree, or altering it so as to make it con formable to them, may approve of it, and allow it to be put into execution, without requiring the projector to make any application to the Federative Government, although it must be submitted finally to the Federal Congress fur their further sanction and con firmation. 6. No contract for founding a new township shall be allowed by the Authorities of any province, unless the contractor shall hind himself to provide for each township at least fifteen families ; that is, fifteen free married mist with their wives. The respective provincial Legislatures shall prescribe a period to the contractor, within which he is bound to furnish the required number of fami lies, under penalty of losing, in proportion, the rights and fa vours granted in the contract, and of having the contract entirely annulled, if he does not furnish the fifteen married couple. " 7. As soon as ten families, at least, are present at the place appointed by the Government for the new Settlement, lily will proceed to the formal establishment of the township, try taking the oath of allegiance to the political constitution of the Province, presence of a Commissioner, *elected by the provincial Chief, and proceed then to the election of the municipal caters in the manner pointed ont by the existing laws. " 8. The territory marked out by the Governments of the re spective Provinces. for such new Settlements, must be wholly un- 1 claimed ; that is, free from any rights of property or possession, either by individuals or communities; accounting as such all land formerly the property of religious fraternities, or destroyed foundations ; bat in case that the appointed district should have any claimants, they will be required to appear publicly, and to prove such claim, point out the boundaries, and fix the land-marks. " 9. The present Decree assigns, in full property, to each mar ried couple, contained in the number specified in the contract of settlement, *space of land equal to a square of a thousand rods each way, although it is not necessary that the land should be of cite entire piece. " 10. Every unmarried person of either sex, who may enter upon l e new settlement with the married persons specified in the contract, shall be entitled, provided they marry within the first six years of 1 the settlement, to receive the same quantity of land mentioned in Idle preceding article. And if such marriage be entered into with 1 the bed igroour aloof ii ices of the country, or with persons of colour descended from natives, the person so marrying shall receive a double portion of land. " 11. Further, the present Decree assigns in full property to the person contracting to form such new township, a space of one thou sand rolls square, for each and every married couple, who may re move to the new Settlement under the contract. " 12. The three preceding articles will serve as a general basis to determine, with precision, the interest in land offered to concise tors for founding new township., and to each of the settler', under the previsions of the contract, although exceeding the number spe cified therein. 13. Every family, or married couple, of whatever condition, which (not being included in any contract of settlement) may wish to join a new township, shall be permitted to do so at any time (defraying themselves the expense of voyage and removal); ', and if it be proved that they have made themselves denizens within' the first six years of the legal establishment of the township, they shall receive. in full property, a portion of land double that which is assigned by Article 9, to a married couple settling under the 1 contract, ,at the expense of the contractor. Likewise, every un married man, becoming a denizen within the first six years, shall re ceive apertion of land one thousand rods square each way, as men tioned in Article 9. " 14.. Every new sst:ler will be held bound to occupy or culti vate, accortlir.g to its quality, the portion of land assigned to him, within the first eight years after taking possession of it, on penalty of losing the whole or part of it, according as he may have failed in discharging the obligation Imposed by the present article. " 15. Every portion of land granted by this law to the con tractors themselves, must be cultivated or occupied according to its quality, and the objects for which it WiLi granted, within eight years from anti after the establishment of tho township, on penalty of having all such part as may be uncultivated, held unclaimed and without an owner. " 16. The Governments of the different Provinces are hereby authorized to grant larger portions of land than those mentioned it the preceding articles, to such of the settlers as, within the required number of years, shill have cultivated and occupied their previous grants; and, likewise, to such others as may have turned to the breeding of cattle, and require a larger portion of land for the aug mentation of their stock. " 17. Every new settler may sell freely, anti at all times, the lands granted to him by this law, provided, at the time of selling them, they ate in the rate of cultivation or occupation which this law points out : excepting from this provision the contractors them selves, who may freely dispose of the lands they receive tinder the contract the day they take possession, although they may not have been in any way occupied or cultivated; and, excepting also, the families spoken of in Article 13, to whom is given the sante permis sion, with respect to the grant assigned, on account of having de frayed the expenses of their removal. 18. Every new settler is free, at all times, to return to his own country, or to remove to any place which may suit hint better; and io such case he shall he allowed, without any imposts, to withdraw all his property, and to dispose of such part of his land as may be in a etre of cultivation ; as any part which remains uncultivated will be considered as common and unclaimed. " 19. Every new settler may, from the day of his becoming a member of the settlement, dispose by will (according to the exist ing iewal o_l4l. kinds of property belonging to him, and trans mit to his heirs and executors the rights worthiest by him over, the land granted to him as a settler, although it may not be cul tivated entirely, and leaving his heirs, on taking such land, sub ject to all the obligations imposed on the testator himself by the present law.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JANY•RT 9, ism The Paris Papers of Wednesday bring ato intelligence of moment. The news relating to Greece we have given separately, and our readers will see with pleasure that the dissensions amongst the Greeks have been by no means so formidable as they have been represented. The siege of Patras has not been interrupted, and the Government, feeling itself strong in the affections of the people, threatens the revolters with condign punishment. Meanwhile the Greek navy continues to gather fresh laurels. The Egyp tian fleet was drawn by a stratagem from the Bay of Maeri, where it had taken shelter, aril beaten at sea by the gallant Miau Lis, who pursued it within view of Alexandria. The loss of the Mahometans is stated to have been considerable. Twelve large transports had arrived at Napoli, having no board 3,000 black soldiers, disciplined in the European style, and 400 Arabian horses. From Spain the intelligence is father satisfactory. The Efoile affirms that FEcoma:4D is beasme a miracle of ' moderation and benevolence. All his efforts are directed to the " grand of of the general welfare." The fact is, that his Catholic MAJESTY can no longer proceed without some revenue, and, preparatory to the re-establishment of his credit with the view to negotiate a loan, he is obliged to adopt some sound and rational principle of government: but, while he remains the absolute Sovereign, what security can his creditcrs have against his relapse into tyrannical violence and wilful dishonesty? _ _ . The French journalists are engrossed with the discussion of the questions of indemnity to the sufferers by the Revo lution. In every quarter new claimants arise. "If France was put up for sale," says the Journal des Debats, " it is doubtful whether the bankers of Europe would purc: . ase her, on condition of paying all the indemnities already alleged to be due on account of ►he spoliation and injustice of the Revolution. Every body pretends to have some claim on poor France, and should we go on long as at pre sent, it will be nec:scary to have some regulation estab lished as to the rights of these creditors, who all struggle earnestly for the privilege of inisfortunc. We are sorry that the petitions for indemnity, which arrive daily from all parts of the country, are not accompanied with a state ment of the sums required to satisfy the petitioners. This simple addition would have taught our successors how much a Revolution costs. The genius of M. in ViLLELE will show them how this is all to be paid." The Abbe de PEADT has boldly denied that the emigrants have any right whatever to indemnity. " They are deprived of all right by their own acts, public and private ; by their pro clamations, which arc so many monuments of their inten tion to restore to full vigour the ancient system in all its parts, and their own privileges." M. LALLY ToLLsrD*L began his celebrated defence of the emigrants with these words: " The Republic has triumphed." It is row the turn of the emigrants to boast that they have triumphed. France has indemnified the foreigners who subdued her : she is now about to indemnify the emigrants. Marshal SecnET, it is stated, lies dangerously ill. Ile was one of the most favourite and ferocious soldiers of BON AAAAA E, and has never enjoyed the countenance of the reigning family. The illiberal and hypocritical cabal, who, on pretence of defending public morals, have endeavoured to oppress and ruin Mr. KIRA w, last bight sustained a camplete defeat. They were even better organised than on Monday evening, and mote judiciously stationed, for the purpose of keeping up a continued tumult; but their hostility, active and un remitting as it was throughout the tragedy, was finally overcome, and both Mr. EILLISTON and 2.1 r. KEAN were patiently heard in explanation of !licit conduct, and the addresses were received with general and overwhelming applause. There can be no deubt now, that the tur bulent cpposition was concerted wholly from feelings of envy and ma'ice towards Mr. Kt:AN personally; but, notwithstanding the alliance this party had formed with a portion of the daily press, the good sense of the public has triumphed over the joint machinations of the confederacy. I?urirg the performance of Othello, the band of disturbers were successful in preventing any appeal to the audience. Mr. Et.usrox was on the stage upwards of a quarter of an hour, using every gesticulation ex pressive of his desire to speak to the !sense, but the rioters were then too powerful, and it was their business not to suffer any explanation to be rendered. That sterling re gard to justice, however, which belongs to the English people, in a higher degree than to any ether nation, be ' cause, perhaps, they are more frequently called upon to exercise it, gave Mr. ELus roN afterwards the opportu nity he had previously sued for in vain ; and when his explanation was heard, the uproar of what the Times calls " the moral and decent part of the community," was put down by a burst of acclamation, so complete and irresistible, that the power of the malcontents from that moment seems to have been utterly extinguished. Mr. &LISTON gave, we think, a full and satisfactory statemtnt of the cause of Mr. KEAN's re-appearance at this time. The engagement under which he is now performing was concluded when it was quite uncertain whether Mr. Cox would think fit to lay his case before a Jury. In this state of things, Mi. ELLISTON gave Mr. KEAN notice that he would be adver tised for last Monday, and the arrangement was made ac cordingly. Afterwards caine on the trial, which neither the manager nor the actor could prevent, and with the re port of that proceeding, the Papers now loudest in their outcry against KERN, published a garbled mass of letters selected by the plaintiffs solicitor. Some of these letters contained allusions which, when so published, appeared to be flagrantly indecent. But it should be remembered that the publication of these letters was the voluntary act cf the Papers ;it funned no part of the Report of the trial. The whole offence against public decency was therefore commit ted by the Papers, and nut by Mr. KEAN, who certainly never intended the objectionable passages to have been seen but by one person in the world. Yet it was deliberately proposed by these Papers to immolate Mr. KEAN fur their offence ! Whatever of revolting grossness has met the public eye in this case, has been wantonly obtruded before it by the moralists who arc shocked that KEAN should have written to such a woman as Mrs. Cox, allusions of the only kind acceptable to her. His address last night was temperate and judicious. Ifs abstainer! very properly from deprecating the public displeasure with respect to his private misconduct, arid appealed to the liberality and justice of the audience as an actor, in which capacity only he stood before them. The " obscene" Papers which ale In league with his enemies will now, we suppose, find it their interest to be silent ; and we may therefore expect to hear very little snore from them on this subject, unless, perhaps, " for the sake of morality," they could obtain for publication the replies to the letters they have already sent forth, fur the edification of the " respectable and decent part of society." .11.10N011611e. The Stock Market in Engli.h securities was extremely dull yesterday, and but little business done in it. Consols for money opened at 911, and were afterwards done at ! and 4.

The tragedy of Othello was the entertainment given out as the performance of last night at this Theatre, the part of Othello by Mr. Kean, his second appearance since an event which is likely to form an important era in the dra matic career of this once popular performer. The throng at the entrances of the play-house was by no means greet; it was quite inconsiderable when cemeared with the multi , tudea that rendered access to the Theatre upon Monday ' evening a matter of personal hazard. But though the audience of last night was thus relatively small, it seemed actuated by a spirit of more determined hostility, and ap peared to bring to the contest a much greater degree o f system and organization. The audience upon the former night might have been likened to an eastern army, count less, indeed, as to numbers, but inefficient in the fight; that of the latter select and few, well appointed and Care fully marshalled, amply compensating for defect of num bers by the skill and discipline of those who were brought to the field. Upon the opening of the doors, the pit, galleries, and upper tier of boxes, were instantly filled ; the other rows of boxes were comparatively empty; there was complete, and, perhaps, a creditable absence of ladies from those parts which the most respectable clan of females aro in the habit of frequenting. The tranquillity that Telen e t throughout the house fors considerable time, was of such a nature as almost to warrant the supposition that the merit was laid, and the performance of the night would be al lowed to pass undisturbed ; the erroneous nature of this expectation was, however, speedily proved by the act of a politician in the gallery, who, no doe& for the purpose 'of ascertaining the current of public opi nion, exposed to view two placards, upon one of which was inscribed, in large letters, " Kean for ever," upon the other, " Down with the Times." The display of these manifestoes was the signal of asproar, which lasted through the performance of the overture, and remained tinabattd when the actors appeared upon the stage. Afeir the performance of a few passage, in dumb show, the won retired t 3 the back of the star, and Mr. Elliston himself appeared in full dress, for the purpose, we presume, of making an appeal to the audience. Upon the manager presenting himself, the teimult increased, and it was utterly impossible for him t'. obtain attentien for a moment. lie exhibited a laudable perseverance upon the occasion, an I remained a considerable time upon the stage, making many and numerous obeisances, placing his hand upon his heart, and using all those arts which time out of mind have teen allowed to rhetoricians in the act of suppliet tion. It was the remark of a great orater of antiquity, that action is every thing : the reception of Mr. Makin is a decider.: preof that this aphorism ie not universally tree, for, notwithstanding the frequency and the grace of his efferts, the audience was obdurate, and lie nt length re , tir«l. Upon his disappearance, the performers attempted to go through their parts, but in vain ; their voices were drown( din the din that seemed to prevail through the en tire 'tense, and which, of course, reached its greatest limit upon the entrance of Mr. Kean ; it was then the partisans and the opponents of this gentleman made their trees; strenuous (Wens, and between the noisy approbation be stowed by the one party, and the censure lavished most un sparingly and boisterously by tl:e other, it was impos sible to hear a syllable that was uttered upon the stage. A great effort seemed to be made by both parties tenon the inn peachment of Othello before the Senate by the father of Ike desnona; and, when the fair cause of the accusat icn vindicates, in dumb show, her own free choice, and acquits the dark warrior of all sorcery and guilt, they expressed their fed ings in a manner that must have inflicted considerable pain upon those not equally interested in the result and cause of the warfare. The p. rformer himself appeared to us to he fully master of himself, and to have regained that fortitude which seemed somewhat shaken on his first up. pcarance. Upon this occasion lie required all his 'Jerre, for the opposition assumed an appearance of management and system v.hich it wanted upon the night of Monday. Of this probably he was aware, and thought it incumbent upon him to meet it with firmness, though without eibi biting any symptom of disrespect. Pit, Box, and (hiller,' in convulsion ; Ile steed unmoved amidst a burning world.". The half price brought, as was to in expected, a new sup ply of partisans, who ranged themselves uned r their re spective banners, and the fourth act wee an uninterrupted scene of tumult. About the conclusion of this act, and in deed at other short periods through the performance, ai parties appeared exhausted, and there were brief cessation; but all fatigue, all exhaustion, seemed forgotten upon the appearance of the hero of the night ; he was the harbinger of tumult—he brought clamour in his train. The discus sions in the pit appeared to be conducted with extreme seri mony, and in many eases the disputants proceeded to the ultimo ratio, and supported their sentiment. by blows. Those who breathed the purer atmosphere, and occupied the higher region of the galleries, maintained their opinions with equal obstinacy, though with better temper. When one of these lofty inhabitant: raised his " sweet voice" in behalf of Alderman Cox, his facetious antagonist and neighbour was contented with wishing the worthy Al derman in the throat of his clamorous advocate, and did not appear disposed to enforce his arguments by any more cogent reasoning. After the conclusion of the scene, Mr. Thompson came forward to announce the per formance of the ensuing evening, bur the clamour rendered it utterly impossible for him to attain his object, and, find ing his efforts unavailing, he retired. A few scenes of the pantomime bail been performed, when Mr. Elliston was recognised in the boxes, and he was loudly called for : after some time the Manager obeyed the call, and presented himself amidst loud applause. After making his respects, he stated, that if he we. indulged with a hearing, he would give a full, and he made no doubt, a satisfactory ex planation.—ln the appearance of Mr. Kean, at this particu lar time, he would be believed when lie said he never felt such embarrasstuent as at that moment : his wish, as Ma nager of that Theatre, had ever been to contribute to the amunments of the nubile. (Cries of " Yes, yes;" and "Elliston for ever.") In the present instance, a partini ler engagement was made by him with Mr. Kean, unavoid able in its nature, as subsequent arrangements had been entered into for other engagements. This was the cause of his present appearance. He should also state that upon the Saturday previous to the public exposure of a late un fortunate transaction, he was informed by Mr. Kean's soli citor, to wh a m he made application, that no trial would We place, aid consequently there would he no obstructienn Mr. Keats'. appearance ; upon this he wrote to Mr. Kea3, and received an answer which proved Mr. Kean to be as mindful dins (Mr. Elliston's) interest as lie was of his own. fled he known that any disapprobation would have been felt by the l übic, in consequence of the transaction which took place on the Tuesday after the conversatien lie held wi h the solicitor, lie a oald have avoided any thing that would give the public offence. Here a voice from the dress-box inked why Mr. Kean's appearance UM required so soon. Mr. Elliston answered, because it was advertised previous to the transaction. (Loud applause followed this declaration). If he declined fulfilling the engorgement he made with Mr. Kean, it would, he thought, be joining the party against him ; this he would never do. The approbation testified by the audience proved to him that the disapprobation was confined to a small number. It had been asserted the house was packed by him ; this he solemnly denied. Ile denied it as he valued the character of a gentleman, which lie trusted he had ever maintained. Ile would make one request, that the audience weold honour Mr. Kean with a hearing, and he was ready to enter into his own defence, if he were allowed. [Loud cries of Kean, Kean.] Mr. Elliston retired, and in a short interval returned, conducting Mr. Kean. His appearance was dietioguished by loud applause. He seemed much agitated, and addressed the audience, as far as we could collect, as follows:—Ile efiel not appear before them. he said, to ask indulgence for his private errors; for them be h-el been punished by the proper tribunal of his country. He appeared before them merely as the representative of Shakspeare's characters, and he asked not a judgment upon the transactions of his private life, tut the impartial decision of the British people upon his merits as au actor. If he did not enter into an explanation of certain occurrences of his life, it was from inotites of delicacy, which they would appreciate, and not from any wish to spare himself a mortification, perhaps, well deserved. He might fall a professional victim to their vereFet ; but he awaited their decision, and not that of a hostile and malignant press, whose utmost malice be war , --~ • _j r env bin t 0 .4 1011
