"It is affirmed in them that l 2 ; 000 Russians, having laid down their arms, surrendered at discre tion, without striking a blow, and that the whole of our artillery was shamelessly abandoned.

According to the latest accounts received from Lisbon, the affairs of Portugal are in a desperate condition. The Government distrusts th e people, the people distrust the Government, each strives to embarrass the other ; and, as if this of itself were not sufficient, they are split into countless factions, the most moderate of "hich is characterized by deep malignity. First comes the faction of that modern Quixote, the marqui s e CIIAVES; secondly, the strong Party of th e nl,l Q UEEN ; thirdly, the adherents of the rein , bning despot ; and fourthly, those of the Constitution and Donna MARIA. Meanwhile, anarchy stalks with gigantic step across the land ---there are no ruling powers—there is no re sPonsibility—the chiefs of each faction seem ac countable to none but themselves. With regard t 9 Don MICPUEL, his time is worthily employed in shooting rabbits, brought in a box for the Purpos e , out of the window ; and cultivating a Pair of infant whiskers, which, much to his Ma- Ys discomfiture, are still, and have been for hie months, in a state of the most efletninate ,ferility. As a fresh instance of the Royal 4 gacity, Don MIGUEL has only just discovered that on e of the Russian Empresses is dead, and i 4 a paroxysm of affection, has ordered his Co urt,—those, at least, who can afford to pay f Or a new suit—to go into mourning. Really, art " perusing these accounts, we cannot but thi nk his Majesty's mother was abundantly 3u4ified in setting him down as an " idiot." erman Papers of the 17th inst. have been ec eived this morning, but their contents are 4141portant. The following are extracts : TURKISH FRONTIERS, DEC. 30. lq fQvi' rive ago, 200 caissoons, coining from Ka -11, ad in the environs of Bucharest, the far ther destination of which is not at present known. We are also not informed whether they contained ammunition or not, or what is become of the cannon to which they belonged. . Count Pahien has not yet returned from Jassy to Bucharest, and, if we may believe letters from the Russian head -quarters, it is even doubtful whether he will return. A proclama tion in the name of Count Wittgenstein invites the inhabitants of Bucharest to have an eye upon stran gers who are in Wallachia, and to inform the police what they may have occasion to observe, for which a reward is promised them. FRANKFORT, JAN. 16. The Berlin Papers publish long extracts from the Greek Bee, of Nov. 22, the intelligence con tained in which is now of little importance, and re lates to insignificant military events which took place in Eastern Greece, from the 9th to 13th of November. The substance of them is, that the . Greek army took the fort of Stevenico, situated at the distance of three leagues from Livadia and the convent of Dombo, which was defended by an Albanian gar rison, who were made prisoners with their com mander, Abbas Aga. On their being brought to the head-quarters they were sent at their own request to their own homes, by way of Zeitouni. The General speaks in high terms of the conduct of the officers and men in an engage meat with the Turks before the taking of Ste venico, and especially those who, after the storm ing of the place, gave quarter to the Turks, of whom 25 were made prisoners. They - were well treated, and set at liberty the next day. VIENNA, JAN. 12.—Metalliques, 96 3-10; Bank Shares, 1,110. We recommend to the attention of our readers an article entitled the " Russian Campaign," which occupies a considerable portion of The Sun, and which will be found highly interesting, It must be confessed that it puts the most fa vourable construction upon all the operations of the Russians in the last campaign both in Europe and Asia, but it will be seen at the same time, that there is a great deal of truth, plausibility, and candour in the state ment. It is written by an officer of the Russian Staff, and intended as an antidote to the sinister reports and gloomy inferences of the German jour nals. Only 85,000 men crossed the Pruth and the Danube at the end of May, and only 40,000 of these arrived at Shumla—and yet they con quered Varna, and still keep their ground ! What will the Germans say to this ? The Morning Chronicle contains the follow ing paragraph:— " The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND received the keys of office, and went through the preliminaries for entering on the functions of Lord Lieutenant of Ire land, at the office of Mr. PEEL, in Downing-street, OR Wednesday. We were the first to announce the arrival of his Grace in town from Alnwiek Castle, early in last December : it is now reported in the political circles that his visit to London at that period of the year was connected with the present arrangement, although the fact of a negotiation being at that time in progress is not supposed to have been communicated by the PREMIER to his Colleagues." If the above may be credited, it affords proof " strong as lloly Writ," that the Duke of WEL LINGTON is as imperious in the Cabinet as in the camp—that the Ministers are all treated in the light of subordinate officers, and that the Duke monopolises all the power, giving his col leagues merely their full share of the respon sibility. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TwEr,r2 o'CLocr. There appears to be a heaviness in the Coned market this morning, which may be owing to a report of a change in the French Ministry ; Consols, which left off yesterday at 86/, opened at the same price this morning, and may now be quoted at Sti?i, with little doing.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday after noon at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, which was attended by the whole of the Cabinet Ministers. The Mini sters assembled at half-past three, and remained in close deliberation till near half-past six. The youthful Queen, Donna Maria 11., of Portugal, is now sitting for her bust to Turnerelli, the celebrated sculptor. His Grace the Duke of Northumberland has already commenced the duties of his high office. The boxes, &c. from the Irish Office, were on Thursday for warded to his Grace, who is in constant communication with Mr. Secretary Peel.—Morning Paper. The Portrait of the Marehione§s Wellesley, which is attached to the forthcoming Number of La Belle Assonbli'e, is really a chef d'oeuvre in the art of engraving. For delicacy, for elegance of proportion, and general finish, we have seldom seen its equal. The veil, in particular, which depends in graceful folds from her Ladyship's head, has an exquisite transparent character about it. The por trait is engraved by Dean from a painting by Robertson, and is intended to illustrate the 50th Number of the Gallery of Female Nobility. By the letters from Paris of the 19th instant, gold is at a premium of 10f. per mile ; which, at the English Mint price of3l. 17s. 1 Oid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25f. 40c. ; and the exchange at Paris on London, at short, tieing 25f. 15c., it follows that gold is 1 per cent. higher at Paris than in London. By the letters from Amsterdam of the 20th instant, the premium on gold is 144 to 14 per cent., which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10i-d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 12f. 7e. to 12f. Sic. ; and the exchange at Amsterdam on London, at short, being 111. 871 c., it follows that gold is l to per cent. higher at Amsterdam than in London. Upwards of 400,000 persons passed by steam vessels from the Thames last year.—Sheffield Courant. DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE THAMES, Tnititz PERSONS DROWNED.-Yestcrday, at half-past one, two gentlemen entered a wherry at Rotherhithe, to be ferryed over to Execution Dock ; they got half-way over, when the force of the current brought them between a SUnderland trader and a Dutch vessel, as the latter was making a tack, drove against them an immense piece of ice, which stove in the wherry, and it is with extreme re gret we state that it sunk to the bottom, and every indi vidual on board periehed. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 22.—Wind E.—Arrived the Mary Ann, Isabella, from Jamaica. FALMOUTH, JAN. 23.—Wind E.N E.—Arrived the Colossus, from New fork; James, Carey, from St. John's; and Duke of Kent picket, from Lisbon, sailed the 11th. BazsT, JAN. 15 —A boat marked Rowena, Liver pool, was driven on shore about nine leagues north-west of this port, on the 9th inst. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Cape De Verds, dated Villa Da Praya the 2d of November : " A Spanish schooner and a schooner brig have for several days been standing off and on at the mouth of this port, and occasionally coming to anchor. It is supposed that they are pirates. The schooner brig carries ten twenty four pounders on her upper deck, and six nine-pounders below :it is called the Cometa. The number of her crew, by her own account, is thirty-five; they have offered some Manchester piece goods and chintz for sale, at very low prices. The schooner has sailed from the coast, and the other is expected to follow. It is reported they are from the Havannah. The Union, Wills, of Hull, was driven on shore on Yarmouth Beach yesterday. The Mariner, Bird, of London, was driven on shore, near Yarmouth, on Thursday, and it was feai ed would be wrecked. The Mary, M'Leish, from Londonderry to Liverpool, was driven on shore near Holyhead, on Thursday, and it was feared would be totally wrecked. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. His Lordship did not take his seat, this morn ing, till nearly 11 o'clock. MINN V. MINN. Mr. ANDERTON applied for an cx-parle injunc tion in this case to restrain the defendant, the hus band of the plaintiff, from transferring the sum of 5,0001. and a fraction, three per cent. consols. The application was made at the instance of one of the children of the plaintiff, by a former marriage. The plaintiff was advanced in life, being 54 years of age, the defendant was 29, and a young man well-known to the public in consequence of proceedings that had taken place in the Ecclesiastical Court, for the purpose of setting aside the will of his former wife. It had been the unfortunate lot of the plaintiff and her family to be afflicted with mental imbecility, nearly amounting to lunacy. The defendant had ' engrafted himself into the affections of the plaintiff, and without the consent or knowledge of her chil dren she eloped with him at midnight, and was privately married on the 24th of lovember last. The plaintiff was at this time in possession of upwards of 8,000/. ; she had had 15 children by her former husband, many of which had been afflicted with the same dreadful malady as the plaintiff. No settle ment was prepared at this time, but the defendant promised that her property should be at her own disposal, stating himself to be a man of property and independence. It was afterwards ascertained that this representation was false, and that he was in the most embarrassed circumstances. He had caused part of the B,OOW. to be transferred, and unless pre vented by the Court, it was his intention to transfer the whole, and leave the plaintiff entirely destitute. Every method had been used by the defendant to prevent the making of a settlement, and it was clear the only object he had in view in marrying the plaintiff was to possess himself of her property. — His Honour the Vice-Chancellor yesterday dis missed the motion on the ground of delay, it ap pearing that the parties who now applied for the in junction, knew all the facts since the latter end of November. His LORDSHIP acted upon the same principle this morning, considering it necessary that a party who applied for an injunction ex-parte, should come to the Court immediately. The motion was therefore again dismissed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. (SITTINGS IN BANCO.) FORGED BILLS OF EXCHANGE.-COOPER V. MBYISR AND OTlikißS. This was an action by the indorsee of three bills of exchange, which he had taken from a man named Derby. One of them purported to be draw n by Ed ward Woodman, and the two others by Henry Hul lock and Co., the names of which drawers all turned out to be forgeries. The defendants were the acceptors of the bills in question, and at the trial before Lord Tenterden and a Special Jury, at Guildhall, evidence was ad duced that the defendants had no knowledge of the fraud which Derby had played on them, the verdict passed for defendants. Mr. GURNEY now moved for a rule to show cause for a new trial, on the ground that improper evidence had been admitted.—Rule Nisi granted. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. BROUGHAM addressed the Court on a rule Nisi, which he obtained last sittings for a criminal information against a Magistrate of the county of Oxford. Upon looking, however, into the office it was discovered that no affidavit of the service of notice had been filed, in order that the defendant might have an opportunity of showing cause against the application. Having now filed such affidavit of service, he (Mr. Brougham) repeated the application with four additional affidavits.—Rule Nisi granted. CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.—The great meeting of the Friends of Civil and Religious Free dom, at the Rotunda, was followed by a splendid Dinner, which took place yesterday at Morrisson's. It was served up on a scale of considerable grandeur and magnificence; about 200 gentlemen sat down to dinner.—John David Latouche, Esq., in the chair.—Amongst the distinguished individuals near the Chair, we observed the Earl of Bec tive, Lords Rossmore, Cloncurry, Clanmorris, Killeen ; Messrs. Brownloxv, Napper, Crawford, Tighe, Wyse, &c. —Dublin Morning Pose of Thursday. HERRING FISHING IN TIIE FRITH.-S0 far as the herring fishing has yet gone, it has not nearly realised the expectations held out at the commencement of the season. About 2,000 has been the highest take yet obtained, and the boats frequently return without a single fin.— Caledenianlfercury. It appears that a strong prejudicial feeling exists against the Medical Institution in this town, in con sequence of a report which has been maliciously set afloat, that three or four dead bodies are concealed on the premises. We have authority, however, not only to contradict such report, but also to state, that it is the determination of the Members of the Institution not to allow any dissection to be carried on in their rooms until the Legislature has pro vided some adequate means of supplying the medical prac titioners with subjects.- Sheffield Courant. THE SEVERE WEATllER.—Yesterday the frost continued to be most threateningly severe; even in the occupied rooms of houses at the suburbs water froze rapidly at noon-day. With the frost there was a high and sharp wind, so much so as to raise the dust in clouds, par ticularly on the Western roads, and the effect was such— mixing dust, wind, and snow—that the coachmen who had travelled any distance along such roads could hardly be dis tinguished by their most familiar acquaintance-. The effects of the sudden and severe frost have been equally powerful and curious on the river Thames. On Thursday afternoon portions of ice began to collect along the banks between and above bridges, to be forced forwards with the tide, only to be floated back to 'join with newly-formed portions of ice; and on Friday morning these congrega tions presented so many little "icebergs," seriously ob structing the river below bridges, but decidedly ob structing it, by rendering it of dangerous passage, except for large barges, above Westminster-bridge. There it is already nearly frozen over ; fronting Brantford, Isleworth, &c. the ice already covers the river ; and it is the opinion of watermen and others well acquainted with the river, that should the frost continue with equal severity till this (Satur day) evening, the river will not only become im passable, above bridges in particular, for any boats or barges, except with danger, hut that the river, above bridges especially, will be literally frozen over. Yester day afternoon such was nearly the ease in many places.— There are, in fact, every where all signs of a severe and continued frost. During yesterday, as well as on Thurs day, there were, above Vauxhull and Battei sea Bridges, the unusual sights, except in remarkably severe and stormy weather, flocks of sea-gulls flitting about the surface and banks of the river. Since the severe winter of 1814 the Thames and its banks inland have ❑ot presented so frosty an appearance as they now do. By order of the Commisgioners, Custom-house, Jan, 21. T. WHITMORE, Sec. The late Lord Lieutenant has conferred the honour of Knighthood o❑ Dr. Anderson, his physician. The Marquis de Barbacena carne to town on Thursday from the residence of the young Queen of Por tugal, and visited Prince Lieven, the Russian Ambassador, Viscount Rabayana, the Brazilian Minister, and the Mar quis de Palmella, at their respective residences. At the Petworth quarter-sessions, a Lieute nant Courtenay, R. N., was found guilty of an assault on the toll-keeper of Shoreham bridge, and fined one shilling. BRUSSELS, JAN. 18.—The tribunal of the first instance, in this city, has decided, after a very long de liberation, that there are no grounds for proceedings at law against M. Cache Momens, Editor of the Courier des Pays Bas, who bad been put under strict confinement on account of the disturbances on 20th December. M. C. Momens was immediately set at liberty.—Haarlem Cou rant, Jan. 20. So severe a frost as at present prevails has not been experienced for several winters past. All inland navigation is completely at a stand, and it is expected, if the frost continue, of which there is every appearance, that the river will be altogether blocked up to-day. Large masses of ice were floating up and down with the tido yesterday, in immense quantities, rendering it exceedingly dangerous to attempt a passage. One gentleman reports be eras an hour in crossing below London-bridge in a boat; and the proprietors of several powerful steam-boats, re spectively refused 45 gaineas to tow a vessel down. if the frost continue much longer, we may shortly expect a repetition of the celebrated frost-fair of 1813 1814, with all its extraordinary featiritiee.
