daybreak, on Thursday morning last. blowing • •ale from the N.W. • vessel was descried in the alfing from the month of Salmon River. At eight she had driven on the bar, and appeared to be a schooner with both masts alongside. A man was seen standing at her night.heads, making some feeble signals of distress. We immediately manned n boat from the river, and several attempts—were made to gain the wreck, bet all in vain, the sea breaking over her in the most frightful manner. At .one o'clock. the wind having in some measure abated. we succeeded in boarding the wreck. and brought off James Yoram , '•, seaman, and Miss Jane Gibson, an Irish Lady, passenger. the only two sur. aurora out of eleven souls, who left Fort George on Monday morning last ! The Lady was found lashed to the windlass, much bruised. and in a state of in. Voonga was apparently in a state of g ;r-at exhaustion, kneeling by the bause.hole. *eh a turn of cable around his waist. He had a finger broken on one hand. and n thunib on the other, and was otherwise much bruised.— Y o ungs was • seaman about 35 years of age. The Lady was returning from Queenstown, U. C. to Quebec, on her way to Ireland. A gold watch, which she carried in her bosom, is the only article she has saved. the cabin being washed open and dead lights stove in by the sea. All the passengers' bagger is oupposed to have been lost. She states that she is 24 years of age, that she had been on • vis►t to her brother at Queenstown. who died in May List—that there were several other passengers on hoard, five rif whom, including a man. wife, and child, died in the cabin before the schooner righted !

Extract from the Diario do Gorermo, of November 20:— ° When we wrote the article in the Diario of Saturday No. 90), we involuntarily omitted the essential circumstance that the happy result which we witnessed on the 17th, is in a groat measure owing to the patriotic seal of the most illus. trom• Colonel Commandant of the light legion, Bernardo Corrsa de Castro r Sepulveda. This distinguedwel officer, enlightening the minds of those who were deluded by a ape. emu; appearance for an ill-understontl public interest, had the glory to restore to the public the tranquillity of which it was deprived by the events of the 11th of this mooth; at the ..:tme time shewing to the world, that an army composed of Portuguese is not capable of deviating from the paths of g'orv. " On the lSth the most illustrious and excellent General cipar Texeira went to the Palace of the Government, and h. in( introduced to the Hall of the Sittings, made Isis re spectful compliments to the Government, which were receiv nit!' the regard they merited. The Government corn mi. finned him to form project of a Military Council, n 'Orli shall have to propose all that relates to the organiza tion and discipline of the army, the Government reserving to itself as well the approbation of the plan and of the Mem rs of the said Council, as the decision on all the proposals which it may make for the promotion of so important an ohjnet, and the expedition of the orders, which must be t.siismitted by the vompetent office." No/rmout 29. The Military Committee is setivrly engaged in the ob. jo rto which are submitted to its consideration. It has et re,* recommended to the Government the distribution of the medals which his Majesty has been pleased to order to be bestowed un deserving officers, subalterns, and privates of the army, indicating the form of them, and all that is to be done in this respect in conformity with the lloe+l orders. The Government adopted the proposal of t: e Committee, and the distribution in question will shortly be Insole. The Gazelles are nearly filled with the articles extracted f. um the Spanish Constitution, relative to the election of Deputies to the Cortes. In the instructions addressed to the Magistrates who arc to preside at the elections, it is observed ti at the Articles relative to the Transmarine dominions are applicable till their inhabitants shall spontaneously ex. press their adherence to the general wishes of the Portuguese people. The time being so short, it will not be possible, in t ••se of any doubt arising, to apply to the Government ; the P.esoii nes must, therefore, take advice of well•infortned pricttos, and lake care that the elections are made without fail osi the days appointed.

How ever improbable this may be, there are persons credulous eoutigh to believe ii, hut to convince ourselves of the (slam hood of these reports we need only observe, that the situation of our Mousschy absolutely requires that we du mot iutertera LONDON, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 12. MO. Lisbon and Flanders mails have arrived, bringing a variety of political intelligence, which will be found in one of our preceding columns. An arti cle extracted from • Brussels paper, purporting to be a communication received from the fortress of Lille. gives an account of the army of France, which to us appears to be very astonishing. France has long been essentially a military country, at least the genius of the Government, whether BOURBON or BONAPARTE be at its head, has been decidedly military ; and since the restoration of the Boy RBONS we have rentsrkrd no indisposition in and• branch of the Siate to retailer the military force as brilliant and effective a+ was possible. The write► from Lille, however, now affirms, that with the exception of the Royal Guards and the Swiss regiments, all the corps of the Fiend) army are incomplete. Such is said to be the condition of both iiarintry and cavalry, and the inefficient state of the army is urged by the writer as a reason why Fiance would be unable to take en active part in any war which might break out in Italy. The whole statement we believe to he incorrect, and we reel satisfied that there is not a Government on the Continent of Europe more capable at this instant of a vigorous and po serful military enterprise than the Govern ment of France. What the disposition and feelings of the Cabinet of the Teti!rein may be upon the subject of the Austrian iteva•ion of Naples, is a question of a very different Wow, and one of far higher importance. The power of France to arrest the progress of Austria in her march of conquest through the south of Italy cannot, we think, be questioned, but what her policy may dictate on such an occasion is • point of deep and serious interest. The jealousy subsisting between Austria and France, ever since the splendid rivalry of the powerful CHARLES V. and the chivalrous FRANCIS. has become almost proverbial. It has appeared to operate on both Governments as their settled principle of action ; they have, indeed, long divided the Continent of Europe between them, fur until the persevering energy of one FREDER;CC, and the successful am bitiou of another, raised the petty State of Brun denburgh into the Kingdom of Prussia, no names were heard on the Continent of sufficient weight to divide the public interest with the great Houses of Austria and France. All other Powers were con tented to rank as the allies of each respectively ; but now Prussia seems to divide the empire of public opinion with either, while the Russian has collected a huge power in the north, ready to fall like an avalanche upon whatever State that may excite his cupidity by its fertile lands, or his displeasure. by verouritig to resent his rude interference in the in- ternal economy of ether people. The elevation of Russia and Prussia, however, into Powers of the first class, is too recent to alter, in ally sensible degree, the relations between Austria and France, and the close connexion which the former seems to have formed w►th the two Northern Powers is not calculated to remove whatever sentiments of jea lousy may still lurk in the Cabinet of Paris. Italy, too, it cats never he forgotten. was a cow. strut theatre for the quarrels of these two 'nighty Powers. and excited, in the warmest degree, their mutual hostility. France has ever looked with the utmost anxiety to obtain a footing in that " garden of Europe," and with jealousy to the better finteisies of her rival, which have given her the command of the entire northern division of Italy. Is it to he supposed that - France would now regard w►th in d &relice the triumphant u►arch of Austria through the whole extent of that country, winch must of necessity- give to the Cabinet of Vienna an outvo te-oiled influence in every part of it ? We do lint think that even the British Cabinet could view sueli I provertliog oil the part of Austria with compla cency, for it would effectually destroy that myste rious balance of power whits it was the business •ud boast of our profound Shatesineu to accomplish. We cannot here refrain from drawing the •treutiou of our readers to the great probability that from this time forth the interests of Europe will requite es clear union between the Govern memo of England and France, us a neces. miry counterpoise to check the alarming power of the confederacy that has been formed by Austria, Prussia, and RAsspia. France on the present occasion weak influenced, in • considerable degree, preseion of what the actual feelings o. Family of Naples might be on the subject revolution. It is to ascertain this point that Ge. neral the Count BCLLesiiittni said to have been sent by the Allied Bovereigba to Naples. Th mediation of France has probably reduced liter violent tone of the Austrian Cabinet in awi. this mild and conciliatory iwoceeding. The Itayai Family of Naples cannot safely deny their spine. bation of the late proceedings, and their answer to this effect, while it gratifies their own subjects, and strengthens their throne by insuring the boil affections of the people, must also save the comb• try from the horrors of the Austrian invasion. The Government of France might be as mseillissx as any in Europe to sanction a revolution effeeted by the people without the concurrence of the Royal authority, but the most ordinary principles of foreign policy cannot railer the Court of the Tuileries to lend themselves to the aggrandizement of Austria, by sanctioning her unopposed conquest of all Italy. The following is an extr►ct of a private letter from Gibraltar:— _ Y GI AAAAA AR, 11011/3111011 16. " We have been kept in great agitation for some time past, respecting the final determination of the C,rtss, re garding cotton goods.

Letters from St. Thomas's, dated the end of October, state, that MORILLO, after driving BOLIVAR back to the vicinity of Angostura. had granted him a truce, at his easireat rolocitation. A meeting of Commissioners, finally to adjust the difference', and put an end to hostilities, was to take place on the . 23d October, at San Fernando de A pure.

The inquiries in the course of the day were most numeron., consisting of all the bulk and fashion in town.

Last night a ne* melo-drama WIN produced at this beautiful little theatre, called Zamoskt ; the Forties: end the Mine. The story Is smirk, but the attention is. kept above by door boredom's which follow in quick succession. In the Coot scene we ore informed by Zontoski (Mr. Gov ens At.) that he has made captives of Floreska (Mrs. W AT. I.ETT) and her child, whom he has brought to the fortress, situated ou the borders of Poland, alts being the wife of Edwiaski (Mr. WrriCtris), who was betrothed to hem, oitoolasseki, by her tether, but she preferred her husband to him. This is the cause of his pursuing them with his vengeance. Heresies being in his pores!, he uses every art to bring her over to his love, voltiVoso•t success. koltointki comes to the fortress jou do guise as a !private soldier, and represents Inosse;', %awake as twinging to Flureska the art-wont col 'G.? hoisbanot's death, and to deliver his picture, c. lao her.

The letter lass something of the milk of human kind ness about her, and her father having received great benefits from the father of her prisoner, she is determined to save her; accordingly wills that kind of intrigue which so much belongs to woman in her station, she try, to deceive her brother gaoler. U. is Dot to be deceived, although he gave fair promises to Floreska, with the brutal idea that if her husband was dead, although she would not Le kind to his master she might to him. PAria, how ever, succeeds by the assistance of her nephew Peter (Mr. CowELL), a simpleton (or rather a p. pears to he so), for the purpose, as he said, of rescu ing on innocent female from oppressiolt.—( rhos acknowledgment of Peter was well received viol applauded). At the noose-ut that fidivinski is token prisoner sifter his escape, Peter leads some Polish troops into the fort, and when they are or dered by Zotnoski to fire at his mina, they point their pieces at him, and discover themselves. Ze moski is awn sentenced to the mines, sod the piece concludes with Etheinski, floreska, end their child being safe out of the hands of their mortal minty. It would be invidious to speak particularly of the good acting of any of the performers who outmoded the character., as they all deserve praise, hot we cannot pass over that of Miss YATES. tit Potion; it would have been considered an escellent piece of acting at one of the winter tlwatres.
