OLD HENRY REID. Within the dark, windowless walls of his so litary cottage, about a mile above Greenloaning, where he had resided, secluded and alone, for the last twenty-eight years, died Henry Reid, in the 89th year of his age. He was found on the forenoon of Saturday the 7th ult. with his clothes partly on, reclining on a block of wood, by one of his nearest neighbours. He could not, however, have been long dead, as his body, when discovered, was still warm. He had, ap parently, fallen from his chair, and, it is sup posed, a stroke of 'paralysis, or apoplexy, may have terminated his existence without a struggle. This old man was remarkable for his eccentri cities, which seem to have been hereditary—for it is questionable whether his father, a brother, and two sisters, were not still more remarkable than himself. His prents dying about 1760, left him, his brother, and two sisters, decidedly misanthropic, in possession of the small pendicle which Henry retained to his death. So long as the sisters lived, they literally screamed when a stranger of the male sex ventured to cross their threshliold. Soon, however, after the death of their parents they drooped, one by one, into the grave—and John and Henry were left to manage matters, both " out and in," as they best could. In 1801, John took ill and died, and Henry was left with out a friend on earth. He still, however, found means to keep the pendicle, and con trived to earn as much by cutting wood and making pailing stools, in the neighbouring woods, as paid his rent ; and he did so regu larly for 24 years after his brother's death. Four years ago his poor circumstances and great age lilting represented to his landlord, that gentle man was generously pleased to intimate to him that no mit would in future be exacted from him. This timely assistance revived the droop iu frame and sinking spirits of the old man, and he could not restrain the tears of gratitude. It was remarked that when he died his all was worn out and done. He had sold his cow some months before his death, and deposited her price with a friendly neighbour, in order to de fray, as he said, the ext.ence of his funeral, which, indeed, it did. Scarcely a particle of food kind was within his door, but what was found in his pockets, being a small portion of bread and cheese. Indeed, for some months before his death, he was necessarily more fre quently to be seen at the houses of his neigh bouring benefactors, where his " tales of other years" made him always a welcome guest. — Caledonian Mercury. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres of Monday.) FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, Nov. 20.—An Austrian courier has passed through Semlin, making the best of his way to Constantinople ; and a French courier from the capital is performing quarantine. The accounts from Constantinople are Joretty satisfactory, but there seems to be a generaliermentation in all the provinces. _ . Adrianople was evacuated by the Russians on the Ilth ; only the sick, and a small body of troops for their protection, remain in the city. Mustapha Pacha, of Scutari, began to approach Adrianople on the 10th, in order to take possession of it immediately after the departureof the Russians. It is said he has published a proclamation, exhorting. all Mussulmans to concord, and also promisingagene ral amnesty to all the subjects of the Sultan who have taken part in the political events of the late war. This proclamation does not at all make the inhabitants of Adrianople easy : they know the cru elty of the Paella, and await his arrival with appre hension. Commerce begins to revive at Semlin and Belgrade. Manufactured goods, in particular, are in great demand. TRIESTE, NOVEMBER 26.—Letters from Corfu of the Sth of November say that a ship of the line of one hundred and twenty guns and some frigates are daily expected there, to reinforce the English Naval force in the Mediterranean. It is believed at Corfu, that England, notwithstanding the peace between Russia and Turkey, intends to augment rather than diminish its naval force. A part of the Austrian squadron in the Archipelago, consisting of a frigate and some smaller men-of-war, is shortly to return to Trieste to perform quarantine. VIENNA, NOVEMBER 27.—We have not yet re ceived the official news of the delivery of Gi uvdzevo to the Russian troops, and the last let ters from Bucharest of the 13th instant are not clear on the subject. According to these letters, the evacuation of Adrianople had not even begun on the 6th, and was not to begin till the com plete evacuation of Giordzevo. We learn, how ever, through an indirect channel, that on the 27th of October a column of infantry had quitted Adri anople, and that every thing was preparing for the complete evacuation of that city. We expect every hour the mail from Constantinople. Letters from Semlin say, that Counts Orloff and Butenieff had arrived at Constantinople, where their appearance had caused great joy, as it was }loped that the Porte would soon announce an abate --new of the military contribution. There is still a very actire correspondence be tween General Diebitsch and the Prussian Ambas sa'!nr, M. Royer. Pyxis, DEC. 7.—The reports of a change of Mi nistry are more and more confirmed. This evening it was the general opinion in all the salons, where the news from the Court circulates. A coalition Ministry was spoken of. The names of Messrs. Royer Collard, and Humann, «ere added to those of Pasquier, Martignac, and Ambrugeac. 'The official part of the Moniteur contains a re port to the King by Count de Chabro% the Mi nister of Finance, a Royal ordinance, and some other documents, reletive to a loan of 80,000,000 francs, bearing interest at 4 per cent., to be contracted for by public tender with the parties who shall make the most advantageous offer. This loan is made in consequence of the law of the 19th of June, 1828, giving the Government a rate of credit for 80,000,000 for extraordinary ex pences, authorized during the same year by royal ordinances The Gazelle de France places among the " Lies of the l)ay," the reports of a coalition Ministry, given in the Courier Francais and the Constitu• tionnel.

DEVEREUX.—A new edition of this admi rable novel, by the author of " Pelham," is just ready for publication. The sale has already, as we are assured, very nearly equalled that of some of the Scotch novels, and it deserved to do so.

THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1829. We have authentic news from Berlin to -day that the health of the Emperor of RUSSIA iS out of all danger—his MAJESTY being pro nounced in a state of convalescence. — The Treaty of Peace is at length pub lished in the St. Petcrsburgh Journal, and much prosperity is anticipated for Russia from " the happy restoration of tranquil- lity." Tl►e following are the Bulletins of his MAJESTY'S health : by the Dutch mail, to morrow, we may expect further news on the EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Gazette de France of Tuesday.) PARIS, DEC. 8. A letter from Berlin, of the 30th of November, announces that nu alarm is felt at the Court of St. Petersburgh respecting the health of the Emperor. The disorder of the Emperor of Russia has been determined to be a simple inflammatory fever, with out local cause, and in consequence of a violent cold. His Majesty was bled on the 17th, and leeches were applied on the 20th. According to the latest accounts of the 21st of November, the Emperor, after a quiet night, in which he had slept eight hours, had had a copious perspiration, and the effect of which had been very favourable. Five frigates, of 60 guns each, are now building in the dock-yards of L'Orient. BERLIN, NOV. 25. The conferences respecting Greece continue, and though it cannot be expected that the Cabinet will make any premature communication on this subject, we can assure the friends of the Greeks, who feared that the country would be restricted within two narrow limits, that their fears become daily more superfluous, and that the Greek cause has in the Cabinets powerful and zealous friends. The negociations relative to the execution of the Treaty of Adrianople appear to meet with diffi culties which result from the state of the Turkish empire, and require, in the first place, that the local circumstances—the situation of the Sultan, the conduct of the Pachas, and the interest of the Chris- tian and Nlussulmati inhabitants—be taken into con sideration. It is not impossible that the Sultan himself may have reason to desire that the RussiaNs should remain longer in the vicinity of his capital.

Letters from St. Petersburgh of 25th November bring the highly pleasing intelligence that his Ma jesty the Emperor is in full convalescence. On the 22d a favourable crisis took place in the situation of the august patient, and a profuse perspiration had the most beneficial effect. The fever had entirely disappeared on the 21st in the evening, and his Majesty does not even keep his bed. The following are the most recent Bulletins re specting his Majesty's health : " His Majesty the Emperor has had a very good night, from half-past ten in the evening till eight this morning he only awoke once. " His Majesty's health visibly improvep. (Signed) " CREIGHTON. " RAUCH. " ARENDT. " November 23, 1829." " His Majesty the Emperor had had a very quie . night. His Majesty's health is very satisfactory. " CREIGHTON. RAUCH. " ARENDT." " Nov. 25. " His Majesty the Emperor has had a very quiet night, and is entirely free from fever. His Majesty may now be considered as convalescent. " CREIGHTON. " RAUCH. " ARENDT." " Nov. 24. ST. PETERSBURGH, NOV. 23. Our Journal contains the following :—" His Ma jesty the Emperor has received from General Field Marshal Count Diebitsch Sabalkausky, the intelli. gence that the exchange of the ratifications of the treaty of peace, concluded at Adrianople on the 2d (14th) September, took place on the 16th (28th) of Oct.,between the pleninoten tiari es of the high contract ing powers, and as his Imperial Majesty has already received the ratification of it by the Ottoman Em pire, we hasten to publish the treaty in question, While this convention, by which the glorious contest is terminated in a happy and honourable manner, fixes the boundaries of Russia in Europe and Asia, it se cures to the commerce of Russia and to that of the whole world, the freedom of navigation, which the interests of all nations have long required ; it opens to the manufacture and agriculture of all countries new sources of prosperity, by offering them new channels for the disposal of their produce, and gives to our country, by the happy restoration of general tranquillity, an honourable indemnity for its exer tions and many sacrifices."* The Prussian States Gazette gives the Treaty so specting the Principalities in the French and German Iguages. TIFLIS, NOV. _5. A letter from Beiburt, of the 3d (15th) Octo ber, says, "On the Ist (13th) of this month, we received in the Camp, through Lieut. Duhamel, of the General Staff, the official news of the conclu sion of peace between Russia and the Ottoman Porte. Our corps had already marched from Bei burt to Bachor, when it received orders to march back to Erzeroum, which it began to do on the fol lowing day. The Tuiks have received the news of the peace with inexpressible joy." The following are extracts from Brussels Papers of the 9th instant : BRUSSELS, DEC. 5. We have received a series of Batavian Journals, hut they are of older dates than those which we re ceived some days ago, and which came down to the 27th July. These that have come to hand this morning are from the 6th of May to the 20th June. They contain four reports of the Governor-General to the Commissary-General, dated Magellang, the 19th and 20th May, and the 6th and 9th June. The military operations which they detail are of small importance. General de Kock had made a tour of inspection to visit the military positions in the district of Bo gowendo where he found every thing to his satis faction. It seems that the auxiliary troops gra dually accustom themselves to European discipline. The Lieut.-Governor-General, in his last report, says, that the military operations are of small im portance, but that he keeps the enemy constantly on the alert, and that it is to be ascribed to this activity that several more of Diepo Negoro's parti sans have submitted. WARSAW, Nov. 17. It is reported here that the Porte has offered to Russia completely to give up the Principalities, in return for an entire release from the payment of the sums stipulated by the treaty of Adrianople, as an indemnity for the expenses of the war; but it seems that Russia is not inclined to keep for itself Wallachia and Moldavia, and that in case this ar rangement should be brought about, it would cede them to Austria, which would, on its side, give up the whole or part of its Polish provinces, to be in corporated with the kingdom of Poland. FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, NOV. 5. Several regiments of cavalry have already arrived at Bacan and Roman to pass the winter. The Committee of Boyards at Bucharest is still engaged in the choice of a Hospodar. It seems that the majority of votes will be in favour of Prince Ghika. We received the following from our Paris Correspondent : " PARIS, DEC. 8. 44 Two opposite statements are at this moment n open circulation on the subject of the French Ministry. The one is, that M. de Villele is to be entrusted with the formation of a new Ca- binet, plus pronona, more decidedly royalist than that of the Prince Polignac. The other, and as I conceive the more probable statement, is that a coalition Ministry is about to be form ed, with a view to which a variety of lists are in circulation, one of which gives the Presidency of the Council to M. de Chateaubriand, the department of Foreign Affairs to M. de Morte mart, that of the Interiori to M. de Martignac, ,he Finances to M. Humann, Justice to M Roye►-Callard, and the Marine to Admiral de Rigny. There seems to be a greater difference of opinion as to the other departments ; that of Public Instruction is variously ascribed to M. Vatimesnil, M. Villemain, and M. Debelleyine ; and that of War to Marshal Maison, Gene rals Guillerninot, and Sebastiani. Those who are more favourable" to the royalist party give a decided ascendancy in the new Cabinet to the friends of M. Villele ; but as I cannot believe that the leaders of the Liberals would consent to coalesce with their opponents on such terms as to leave themselves in the minority, or so as to give to their Royalist Colleagues even a marked ascendancy in the Council, I have not thought it necessary to repeat the reports in circulation. " What is chiefly remarkable at the present moment, is the altered tone of the Gazette in regard to several members of the present Minis try. A pointed attack was made within these few days on M. Courvosier, the Alinister of Justice, who, whatever be the fate of the Ca binet in general, it is now tacitly admitted is certainly to retire. The Drapean Blanc, in deed, the extreme ultra Royalist Paper, asserts that he is to be succeeded by M. Guernon de Ranville, and that the Abbe Nicolle is to be entrusted with the portfolio of Public Instruc- tion ; but it seems, that since the appear ance of M. de Ranville at Court, it has been decided that he has lived too long in the departments, that his air is awkward and pro vincial, and his manners unpolished and un graceful. The ladies in short will not believe that a man can save the monarchy who presents himself so badly. Even his adversaries admit that they have nothing else to reproach him with. Let us hope, they say, that that will 4" suffice. Who knows but that we may be 4" relieved from the Polignac Administration, " because M. de Ranville does not know how " to make a bow !' " The battery which the Gazette has just opened on M. de Chabrol is of a still more hostile character. The Minister of Finance has just created 80,000,000 of Four per Cent. Stock, in virtue of a law to that effect, passed in the month of June, 1828, which left it in the power of the Government to fix the rate of in terest, and the other conditions on which the new loan was to be negotiated. Hitherto, the Minister of Finance had provided for his extra ordinary expellees by the negociation of royaj bonds, equivalent in their operation to our Ex chequer Bills, at the rate of 3 per cent. ; and it is contended by the Gazette, that there was no thing to hinder this state of things from continu ing until the approach of the month of June, when he would be compelled to prepare for their redemption ; but this, it is said, might then have been facilitated, by paying off the Five per Cent. Stock. This official Journal then proceeds in the following terms : " We ask, first, why the option has not been left to the bidders, of determining the kind of stock in which they wished to make their propo sals ? Why should the Government be foreclosed from the advantages arising from a lower rate of in terest, if the bidders had offered it ? " ' We ask again why the Minister, having the Three per Cents, at 86, and being easily able to negociate a loan at least at 80, has thought it ne cessary.to create another stock ? " Finally, we ask, why a Three per Cent. Loan has not been negociated; since it would, in fact, have increased the rise of the Threes, and, conse quently, have made the extinction of the Fives so much the more profitable to the Treasury, by making the Threes approach nearer to par.' " The Gazette concludes this extraordinary attack on M. de Chabrol by saying, It is diffi cult to account for the motives which have in duced the Minister of Finance to injure so many public and private interests.' " Whatever opinion may be formed as to this hard mouthed criticism on the financial pro ceeding of M. de Chabrol, it is not easy to escape the inference, either that that Minister is to retire, or, as some haVe asserted, that he is to take a higher place in the coalition Cabinet ; in which case the Gazette will no longer be the official organ of the Government. It cannot be supposed that in the relation in which this Paper has hitherto stood to the present Ministry, it would have ventured thus to attack one of its Members, on the supposition that the Cabinet remained firmly united, and likely to continue so. On the supposition that a total change in the Ministry is not an event to be so imme diately expected, it may, I apprehend, be taken for granted that at least three changes will soon take place by the retirement of M. Courvosier, M. dc Chabrol, and General Bourmont. It is said, indeed, this morning, that preparations for removal are already in progress at the office of the War Department, and that General Bour mont is certainly to leave it to-morrow. " A letter of the 2d inst., from Frankfort, on the subject of the illness of the Emperor Nicho las, says—' We have just received expresses from Berlin, which were sent off on the 30th ult. with despatches for different mercantile houses, containing intelligence regarding the health of the Emperor, of a date two days later than the last bulletins published at St. Petersburgh.— This intelligence is alarming. It announces that the Emperor is getting worse ; that the malady is a pituitous fever (schelim fiche?), and not a cold, accompanied by an access of fever, as was presumable from the bulletins. The same de spatches give us the rate of the public funds at Berlin. All the State paper, which had previ ously maintained its ground firmly, had just ex perienced a decided fall ; in consequence, the Austrian Metalliques here have fallen from 1021, buyers, to 1011, sellers. The Vienna Bank Actions have also given way 14 florins, and the Bills of the Polish Loan about 2 per cent. Letters from Antwerp announce the death of the Emperor, but upon such authority we conceive no reliance can be placed.'" A Guernsey Paper, received this morning, says that the French Government, in order to encou rage the Brandy distilleries, have laid a heavy duty on Foreign Spirits, particularly on British Rum ; and that they also strictly prohibit the im portation of Foreign Tobacco, in order to encou rage the culture of their own in Normandy and Britanny. Parliament was this day prorogued by Com mission to Thursday the 4th of February, then to meet for the despatch of business. The House of Commons was represented by the usual officers. Despatches were received at the Colonial Office, this morning, from Sir JAMES LYON, Governor of Barbadoes, dated 21st of October. Despatches were also received from the respective Governors of the whole of the Leeward Islands. At the Foreign Office there are no arrivals, except the customary ones from Paris and Brussels. Mr. O'CONNELL'S answer to the recent statements in a Morning Cotemporary, that he had " huxtered" for a fee with the BERES FORDS, appears in our columns of to-day. I t is drawn up with much tact and ingenuity, and ao far as it goes is satisfactory. But the publication of the whole correspondence which took place between Mr. O'CONNELL and Lord BERESFORD'S agent, on the subject in discus sion, is requisite, before a decisive opinion can be formed. At present, we have only scanty extracts on the one side, and a partial defence on the other. 2 COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The appearance of Miss KEMBLE as Belvidera last night, before one of the fullest and most enthu siastii; houses we ever remember to have seen, may be looked on as the most memorable era that the stage has known since the debut of Miss O'NEILL. The experiment was a bold one, and somewhat trying to so inexperienced a young lady as Miss KEMBLE; but we are gratified to add, that it has been successful in an eminent de gree, and that she has passed the ordeal in tri umph. In her first scene with Jaffier she seemed oppressed with a timidity, which at one time we thought would have cowed her better efforts, but as the character:rose in interest, her genius rose with it, and she grappled with its difficulties in a spirit that old OTWAT would have delighted to honour. Her first decided hit was in her delivery of the line, " and blessed the Gods for all her travail past," which she gave with an energy that elicited a tumult of applause. Her last words, too, on part ing from Jajfier, were characterised by an impas sioned tenderness, which nothing but the unerring instinct of a nature determined to give full play to its healthy and delicately constituted sensibilities, for the pathos of Miss KEMBLE, though at times energetic and even fierce in its expression, is exqui sitely feminine and delicate—could have prompted. Tip repetition of the words and mariner of her hus band, when he placed her in the hands of Renault, had an electrical effect on the audience, such as we ma y suppose Mrs. SIDDONS to have called forth in the best days of her fame. The allusio n too to Brutus and his Portia was equally suc cessful, but we could not altogether approve ' of the position she assumed just previous to her throwing herself on Jeer's arm, and implor ing him to kill her. The attitude was unnatural, and what was worse, sustained with manifest dif ficulty. We have ;aided to the quality of Miss KEMBLE'S pathos. An instance in point will fully bear out our Notion of it. In the words " Oh my poor heart, when wilt thou break ?" this young lady threw a depth of feeling into her voice, an abandonment of all hope into her look and manner, of so fine, subtle, yet de cided a character, that it thrilled the whole house to the core. It was the most perfect image of a de spair " deep, but not loud,"—energetic, yet strictly feminine, that we ever remember to have been affected with. -Altogether Miss KEmBLE's performance was triumphant to a degree seldom witnessed on the stage. The secret of her success is easily told. It is its perfect truth and freedom from the too often depressing trammels of art. She has studied in the comprehensive school of nature, who, in return, has beets no niggard in her instructions. Thus quali fied, she has but to "go on and prosper." for so long as the Blandtssian fountain of true healthy feeling still preserves its freshness in her heart, purifying and strengthening all within the range of its sweet influence, so long will Miss KEMBLE con tinue her extraordinary career, the pride, the orna ment of the modern stage. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Mr. KEAN last night played Sir Giles Overreach in his usual style, to a tolerably full house. He seemed to take unusual pains with his part, but did not make so deep an i►npression on the house as he was wont to do. His delivery, however, of the words " Right Honourable daughter," was very emphatic and true to the character. Mr. FARREN made an excellent Marrall, and Miss FAUCIT an interesting Margaret.

Campbell to go to New Brunswick as Governor; Sir Colin Campbell to succeed Sir James at Grenada; our Governor, Sir James Lyon is to proceed to Madras ; and Sir John Keane will be our Governor. Front what source this informa tion is derived we are at a loss to conjecture. The weather for some days past has been cold and frosty, heavy showers of snow have fallen in the mountains, and the ships are busily employed in getting ready for sea. THE FUNDS. Twentv-four hours have now el.ipsed since the re ported death of the Emperor of Russia took place, and no confirmation of the above important event has been received, although we have arrivals this morning from Hamburg, Ostend, and Paris ; therefore this stock-jobbing ruse de guerre, after answering sinister views, has entirely fallen to the ground; arid we are informed that the letters received by the Flanders mail this morning, con firm the statement received by the Express from Paris, that no danger is attached to the Emperor's illness, and a change for the best has taken place ; in consequence of the above favourable account, the funds have improved ; Console, which left off yes terday at 944 for the Account, opened at 94i 1, and soon after were done at 94i, but a sale of 150,000 Consols being effected, the Market turned to 944 sellers, at which price they continue. At present a report is in circulation that some important correspondence is now on the tapis between the English and Spanish Government in regard to the affairs of Mexico, as well as to the finances of Spain. In the Foreign Market Greek Stock has improved. n other securities little doing as yet.

All the evil forebodings in regard to the dangerous health of the Emperor of Russia may now be said to have vanished. An express is arrived from Ber lin, of the 3d inst., stating that the Court there were in high spirits, having received a courier from Sr. Petersburgh, bringing the happy information that the Emperor of Russia was out of danger and improving. This favourable account has caused the Funds in Hamburg, Holland, and Paris to im prove, which has had the same effect in the British Market in the early part of the morning, when Con sols were at 9-1 i for the Account; but some sales being effected to realize, the Market fell to 94 for Account, at which price they continue steady. In the Foreign Market Russian Stock has im proved to 108 k 109. TERR' O'CLOCK. Commis for Account, 941 i. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY') VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. CONTEMPT.---WILSON V. MILSOME—LUCAS V.
