We vesterday mentioned that Baron REHAUSEN, the S'Arediol Minister, was about to leave this Cou ntry. We feel, however, great pleasure in .assuring Readers, that his dqparture does not proceed from any rupture, as it has been absurdly stated, or even auy coolness between this Country and Sweden. On the contrary, we' have reason to believe, that a per lealy good understanding subsists between the two Go - ernments. Baron REHAUSEN will set out as sow' as his successor, M. D'ADLERBERG, arrives. Intelligence was this morning received, at Lloyd's, that his Majesty's Ship Diomede had arrived at Limerick, on the 23d instant, from Monte Video, Avith General BERESFORD on board.--The Diomede ,sailed from Monte Video on, the .23d March.— At that time the most adive preparatiobs were mak nig for an Expedition 'against-Buenos Ayres, and no Loubt was entertained with'respell to its success. THE Letters and Papers brought by, the last Lis bon Mail; 'concur' in stating, that strong symptoms of dissatistilaion have been manifested by the Courts of Madrid and Lisbon towards each other. It Is evident that the Spanish Government sugpeet that the Portuguese have, in some. degree, encouraged our Expeditions to South America.' . The following is an article from- the Madrid Gazette, upoh the 6Nibied : " That happy, extreme of the world, where the Catholic Faith has hitherto flourished pure and un sirllied, South America, the English have now got footing in. Henceforward the happiness of the Natives is gone; they must become pitates under their new masters. What does Portugal intend by. such policy ? Will Brazil. remain a Portuguese Co lo* when Chili and Paraguay shall be torn fiotn, Spain ? Will .the feeble, the tottering Regency of Portugal, command resped frbm a nation which tramples on its, neighbours in proportion to their w.-mkness Nu; Brazil, will soon follow the fate of La Plata : -and like other unfortunate nations, Por- Anal will become wise, when she has ruched' the c&fas pf her folly. The naval predominance of England must be subdued, or there will be no safety lot, Nations. Englan-1, impotent by land, is all powerful by sea. Is Portugal blind, that she cannot see those topinasts which look down upon the Bay of Liibon, and from which England at once defies and insults the world ?" The Duchess of BIiUNSWICK is expected in this country in about a fortnight - . This venerable Prin cess, whose vittues,.as well as her misfortunes, and near relation to our excellent KING, roust endear her to the people of Great- Britain, will reside with her amiable daughter at Blackheath, and, pf course, Nvillreceive every soothing alleviation that. filial duty and affeClion can achninister A house has been ta ken in the neighbourhood, for the ficconupodation of D 1 of ac_wss _RUN WICK s attendants. Adverting yesterday to Sir FRAN cis 13uRPETT'A in famous Manifesto, we affirmed that it had been read with disgust by all his . friends, except the most worthless, who aim at the destruction of the pre, sent Government. It is with' much pleasure we find that the more respeaable part of thosefriends are bo#t contented with a Private- condemnation of a Manifesto so hostile to our Monarchical ,Establish- meat, but mean to proceed. to some public measure, either to induce Sir FRANCIS to disavow the senti ments to which he has been itiduced to subscribe his name, or to require that he will vacate his seat, and give them an opportunity of ele&ing another Candidate—'.vho, whatever his political attachthents may be, is aauated by constitutional principles, and firmly resolved to maintain that system to which we have been so long indebted for the blessings of free dom and secUrity. Such a measure it is indeed a duty incumbent upon them to adopt, not merely to stigmatize Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, if he perseveres in avowhig the sentiments which the seditious ad vtrtiseinent contains, but in vindication of their own principles and charaaers ; for otherwise the world at large will have a right to infer that Sir FRANCIS BIIRDtT,T is expressing their opinions and wishes as well 'as his own. When Sir FRANCIS ButtnETT compares the present form of our Gover nment to a " Gang of Rob i bers," it is evident that he does not mean merely the persons by whom that Government is administered, but the vital prin- ciples of the system itself, which he has figuratively denominated the " RED BOOK," because he thinks he dares not, speak more plainly at present; for he contends that " the tiltt OLE of the prent system,"' whit h he calls a system of corruption, ought . to bi ABOLISHED, and declares that " ti:e accursed leaves of that scandalous RED BOOK should be torn out." It is impossible to suppose that the author of the infamous publication alluded to, whoever he may be, can have guy meaning but to point out the neCessity of demolishing, at once, the whole of the British Constitution. If such language as this. passes with impunity, we have reason to,apprehend the worst consequences, for the author.and 'abettors of such doEtrines will 'think that they may confidently pro= ,ceed in• their attempts to delude the public judo; ment, and they may, in time, inflame an unthinking rabble to seize• what they are told that the RED Boox (that is, the present form of Government) has taken from them, and which they are also told, ‘.‘ ought no longer to be ,transferred" from them selves. • We have before observed, that Sir F. BURDETT'S advertisement breathes the same spirit as the publi cations of those who overthrew the, French Mo narchy, and we avail ourselves of the following pa . - rallel, which a respeEtable con temporary has sup plied, in order to justify our assertion. The subject is too serious to be lightly passed over, after all that we have witnessed it France, where the want of due, aEtivity at the beginning produced the downfall of a systerh that had existed for ages, and brought on ten thousand worse evils than it was the professed' intention to remove, even -if those evils had been as bad as they were represented by the miscreants wh o , were the authors of the horrorsthat ensued : MA‘AT.

You, Gen " tlernen, by this unparallel " ed . Ele6.tion, have lewdly "'pronounced your send_' rnents. May yoLlr voice " be echoed through the " land." WE yesterday laid before our Readers some bc th e most interesting particulars respecting the late unfok.. tunate Mutiny at Malta'; and we am . ...h appy to say, t hat when the last accounts came away, tranqutility had been perfectly restored. Many of the mutineers had been executed, and Courts Martial were ap pointed for the trial of the remainder : they 'were principally Greeks. The following Letter Fontaina. some further details upon the subjeet VALETTE, (MALTA,) APRIL 16.-‘ , On Satur day, the 4th of April, at three o'clock in the after noon, this city was alarmed by a most daring mutiny in the Regiment of Froberg, consisting of foreigners of every description, quartered in the fortress on the opposite side of the harbour of Valette, called the Ricaseli. "The Adjutant SWARTZ, on being advised of the intended mutiny, sallied out, with other officers, deter nixed to quell it in its infancy, but did not succeed ; himself and Captain WHITFIELD fell vie titils in the attempt—the Major and others were wounded. ' " In the fortress, on duty, was a party of the Royal . British Artillery, 'commanded by Capt. FADE, who were immediately disarmed: and remained un der the controul of the mutineers, and compelled by them to load the cannon and mortars, and . point them towards the city of Layalette, or wherever otherwise they thought proper to order them. The soldiers of the regiment who were not of the num ber of the mutineers, embraced the opportunity that offered to etre& ►heir escape, and a great .nnmber accomplished it, though many of them were shot at by the mutineers in making the attempt; several of these unfortunate men were wounded, and others shot dead. The ringleaders on the third day, pos sibly with a view to get supplies of provisions, open ed the great gates of the fort, placing centinels in the usual order, of which opportunity on, the sth day, about 300 availed themselves, taking with ! hem the Major of the Regiment wounded, in a litter, and all the Officers, together with Captain FADE and the artillery men, and all the English women with their children. The two centinels attempted to oppose this party, who were immediately shot dead by them. " In this fortress was a large powder magazine, con aining abont suu barrels of gun -powder, a. which an artilleryman was placed centinel, from whom the mutineers demanded entrance into the magazine, which he.boldly- refused at the expence of his life, as they instantly put him to death. " The numbers of the mutineers in the fort,, in consequence cf continual desertions, was reduced to a very few, and on Friday the lo j th instant ar six o'cloCk in the afternoon, fired two bombs on this city, which happily did no injury. It was resolved to - storm the place at day break the next morning; and take them by surprise, ere they could have time to put in execution their threatened pUrpose of blow ing up the powder magazine. " The walls were scaled, but a dog . giving.the alarm, fruStra - toctthe plan. Six of the eight remain ing, retired to the magazine ; the other two were cut Of from the magazine: They, howeVer, - fired two bombs towards the city, which providentially did no injury. " On 'Sunday evening, at ten o'clock, the six re, solved to blow up the magazine, in order to make their escape, which they effected. " In the magazine were from 4 to 500 barrels of gunpowder, which made a most tremenduous explo sion ; fortunately, the plan was suspe6ted, and only a small number of troops were therefore placed in the fort to watch their motions and prevent their escape, and to surprise them if an opportunity of fered : happily, therefore, only three soldiers became their vi&ims and two or three wounded. " The shock of the explosion did infinite damage to the windows; one of the shells burst in passing over my house. " The mutineers fled into the interior of tie island, and are since taken. The last of them (a BI:ick) was taken this morning, disguised in wo man's clothes, on whom tell the lot to blow up the ! magazine. " On Monday last a Court-Marshal was held at the Town-house, on twenty-five of the mutineers; supposed to be ringleaders, one of whom at the gal, lows Was respited, the' others executed; ten hanged ) - ; and fourteen shot." Mr. ARBUTHNOT, our late Minister at Constanti nople, is arrived in town. His state of health has been for. some time very precarious. The .voyage home, however, has Considerably recruited him. Yesterday being [ldly Thursday, pUrsuant to an nu::l custom, the children of all the parochial charity schools in the Metropolis and its suburbs, attended divine service at St. Paul's Cathedral. SO many thousand children of both sexes, the offspring of poor parents, unable to afford them maintenance or edu cation, decently clothed, comfortably maintained, and religiously i nst ruaed, presented an object won by Of the national character, and interesting to every friend Of civilized society. The Lord Mayor and,Sheriffs, at tended by the City Officers, were present on the oc casion, as well as a number of the Dignitaries of the Church, with several" of the Nobility, Gentry, and respectable Citizens. Out of the reasons, no doubt, which induce the Opposition Writers to be so hostile to Mr. I.AP CELLES, is the-attachment which .than Gentleman had to Mr. PITT, his veneration for the memory of that in ns:nous Statesman, and meritorious solipitede to procure some signal mark of national honour and exatitUde for so great an ornament to this Country. tachconducil, on the part of Mr. LASCELLES, is a sufficient groun3 for the resentment of those Writers who adunre and support men who treated Mr. PITT's m-runry with anindifference only disgrace ful to themselves. . • Mr. CALVERT'S DINNER.—A considerable num ber of the friends of this Gentleman assembled ye terday at the Grove-House, Camberwell, in order to celebrate the event of his having (Sired himself as a Candidate for the Borough of Southwark. Mr. SoLomorr DAVIES was in the Chair, and obtain ed great applause, by observing that the Company present " appeared in full feather, not at all resem bling teaten Cocks." The health of thelinyo, 'the Prince of WAI,E, the QUEEN, and the, rest of the Royal Faintly, were the toasts after dinner, and were well received. " The Memory of Mr. F o x,"was drank with'enthusiasra. When Mr. CALVERT'S health had been given, that Gentleman addressed the com pany, testifying his thanks and his gratitude for the support which had attended him on the Poll. The rest of the day passed in leStivity, and was enliven ed by songs from several of the company. CateKET.----The grand match in LORD'S Ground, on Monday last, .between nine ,of Hampshire, with .Lambert - and Hampton, against eleven of all Eng land, for one thousand guineas a side, was decided on Wednesday in favour of England, by 47 runs. EMERY had nearly 6001. , in the House, on,Wed nesdav last, op his Benefit at. Covent Garden Thea tre; a circumstance at which all who know him. will rejoice, for heaas well in his domestic charaeler, as Well as on the Stage. COoKg left town this morning for the laudable. purposeof performing for the benefit of the Theatri cal Fund established at Bath. It is to be regretted, that the two institutions of the same kind, in the London Theatres, are not supported with more vigour. If the chief performers were even to make it a point to come forward annually with their best efforts, the funds in question need not depend. merely on. private contribution, but would enjoy ample and permanent means of providing for age and 'infirmity; The Marchioness of BUCKINGHAM'S accouchement, which is daily looked for, will make the interval be tween the birth of her eldest child (Lord TtairLE) and that which is now expeaed, thirty-one years : it is nineteen years since the 'Marchioness was deli vered of her last son, Lord GEORGE.
