silence, that NA.TOLION, in a conversation with Sir PLYAMENZY MALCOLM, at St. Helena, and in the presence of other British officers, acknowledged 'that he himself had given the order, not only that the Duke d'EbtottEts should be seized at Etten heim, but that he should be put to death. NA POLEON at the same time declared that the mock trial was quite unnecessary—that his resolution to take the life of the Duke was fixed and un alterable—and that it was justified by the plots which had been formed against himself and against France, and in which it was well known that the Duke d'EmoutEN was concerned. In our preceding columns we have inserted ex tracts from the Paris, Bayonne, and Dutch Papers. The farmer, we are sorry to say, an nounce the consummation of the crimes of the Spanish Royalists in the execution of the un fortunate General RIEGO. Carthagena has surrendered. --The Bayonne Papers state, that M. Pozzo DI BORGO has arrived at Madrid, for the purpose of concluding the arrangements for the cession of the Balearic Islands to Russia! -The Dutch Papers speak of the great advantages which Hemburgh already derives from the alterations in the Navigation and Co lonial Laws of England. Vessels now arrive at Ilamburgh direct from Jamaica and the East I tidies. It appears by letters received from Rio de Janeiro, that the corvette Voador, which sailed from Lisbon on the 29th of July, arrived on the 17th September, having on board two Commis sioners appointed to announce the restoration of the King of PORTUGAL to his former power. The Vendor entered the harbour under the Por tuguese flag, firing a royal salute; but having Omitted to hoist a flag of truce, she was made a Prize; and taken possession of by the Brazilians. --110 person was permitted to land from the captured corvette ; and the letters add, that no propositions from Portugal will be listened to, without the preliminary recognition of the in dependence of the Brazilian Empire.—The same letters state that accounts of the 22d of August had been received at Rio de Janeiro from Buenos Ayres. A serious misunderstanding, originat ing in a disputed point of etiquette, had unfor tunately arisen between the Buenos Ayrean Government and Captain WILLts, Commander of the British sloop of war Brazen. It has been the invariable practice of English men of war, lying in the outer roads of Buenos Ayres, to board all British vessels bound inwards. In the exercise of this right, Captain Wxws sent a boat to board a vessel bound inwards ; but the boat was fired iato by a Buenos Ayrean gun-boat, which had been ordered to board all vessels bound inwards, previous to their being visited by the English. Captain WILLIS demanded an apology from the Government for the outrage, which was refused ; on which he went on board the Brazen, and took measures for pre venting entirely the future ingress of English ves sels. Sir THOMAS HARDY, on receiving at Rio de Janeiro dispatches with the in telligence of this unpleasant occurrence, made 14n ediate preparations for saili ng f or B uenos Ayres in his Majesty's ship Creole. The English Iller chants had received full assurances from the Buenos Ayrean Government that their persons e 4 prop erty wou ld b e respected, whatever might be the result of the misunderstanding, which aoe Prude nce o f Si r T HOMAS HARDY, we have no h 4 ' 4 , will bring to an amicable adjustment.

DRURY•LANE.—The Play of Rob Roy, found ed on one of those Scottish novels which have been so much admired, and are so deservedly popular, was represented at this Theatre on Sa turday. Mr. MACREADY was the hero of the piece, and his performance of the part, which has always been distinguished for truth and vigour, was not less so on the present occasion. Mr. LISTON was the Baillie Jarvis, which he, as usual, rendered very diverting. lie made the stage wait for him twice, a circumstance extra ordinary in him, us he is gererally very attentive to his duty. Mrs. Burnx was so admirable in Roy's Wife, that though it was announced as her first and only appearance in the character, she will probably be required to repeat it.— We have not room to notice the other Per formers, but we must add that ARCHER and BaowNE appeared to advantage, particularly the latter in Dougal, a character essentially dif ferent from the Fops in which he has been chiefly successful. HoRN and Miss POVEY contributed their musical efforts with good effect. Covewr-G kRDEN.—The domestic Tragedy of The Gamester, a play that doubtless has never been represented without some moral effect, on Saturday restored Mrs. BARTLEY to the London Stage. She is a very good actress, and in full possession of her powers. Her performance of Mrs. Beverley was characterized by strong feel ing, and that maturity of judgment which can only result from experience founded on good sense. Mr. YOUNG'S Beverley has usually been very impressive, and it was not less so on Saturday. Mr. C. KEMBLE'S Lewson has always been a performance of prominent ex cellence. Mr. COOPER, an actor who has attained well-merited popularity, was only defective inns. much as he is chiefly calculated for open, gene. roes and manly characters, and therefore it is difficult for him to appear as a subtle and har dened villain ; but still he displayed a full con ception of the part, and was conspicuous in pro. ducing the general effect of the play. Miss FOOTE should have been the Charl o tt e i ns t ea d o MISS BEAUMONT, who is a pleasing actress, but the part is beyond her reach. Mrs. BARTLEY was very well received, and all the principal performers had their due tribute of applause. COURT OF KING'S BENCH--(Tuts DAY THE KING V. DOLBY. The defendant appeared in Court this morning to receive judgment; it will be recollected, that on his appearing last week, he read several affi davits, imputing great severity on the part of the Attorney for the prosecution.—Mr. GURNEY read one this morning from the Attorney, deny ing that he proceeded with any severity, but that when Mr. Dolby was arrested he was al lowed to return home, consequently the harsh ness of the proceedings could not have affected ►l'lr. Dolby's health ; the Attorney, how ever, was willing to suspend the proceedings upon Mr. Dolby's promise that he would in future desist from publishing the work. Mr. Dolby expressed his willingness to do so, when the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE ordered him to enter into his recognizance to appear when culled upon, and give up the work. Mr. Dolby was about to thank the Court, but the LORD CHIEF JUS• TICE said, there was no gratitude due to the Court for the execution of justice. The defend ant then re►ired. Airpqnson, Nov. 16.—This day his 'MAJESTY attended Divine Service in the private Chapel in the Castle.—Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA attended Divine Service in the Parish Church.—The day being remarkably fine, a great number of visitors promenaded on the Terrace. —This morning the Royal Horse Guards, with their Band playing, marched from the Cavalry Barracks to the Infantry Barracks, where they, with the Royal Fusileers, heard Divine Service. —Yesterday (Saturday) the King took his usual airing on horseback in Windsor Great Park. On Friday night a King's Messenger left town with dispatches for Spain. Mr. Secretary CANNING was expected in town yesterday, from the Earl of MDRLEr's seat in Devonshir e . , The DOUBLE SOVEREIGNS have been issued; but the number cast is so limited, that there is no chance of any being in general circulation, as each Banker is only allowed twenty-five cud the Bank of England Clerks one ; as a medal, the double Sovereign is finely executed.— The coin nearly resembles the single sovereigns only upon a larger scale, and with the addition OR the rim of ANNO REGNI I V.

CovroN.—This gentleman, who has recently been announced as a bankrupt, has, according to report, been missing some time, and his family are naturally under great alarm. 1t was generally understood that he possessed great property and was very frugal in his habits. He was well known for his literary attainments and poetical genius. lie is the author of an excellent Poem, entitled HvPocatsy, and has published two volumes of a popular work, entitled LACON. He lately gave a very spirited Poem to this Paper, in favonr of the Spanish Patriots, which appeared in it a few weeks ago. Lord BATHURST and his family, attended by his Lordship's confidential fiend, were in a pri vate box at Covent-garden Theatre on Saturday evening, to see MOORE'S tragedy of the Gamester On Priday next, at Covent-garden Theatre, on e of Shakspeare's plays is to be got up in all the splendour of the ancient costume. It is said that Mr, CABLES KEMBLE intends in fnture to pay particular attention to the dress of the times to which Shakspeure's Plays•respectively refer. The trial of CASTAING, the . Physician, occu pies a good deal of public attention at Paris, bui the proceedings are tiresome and uninteresting. It is stated, that Lemon, the person whose name has been so frequently mentioned as con nected with that description of gaming, and other transactions, which led to the untimely end of the murdered Weare, has been arrested in Paris, at t he instance of our Government.

EDINBURGH, Nov. 13.—Tuesday being the day appointed for the public dinner to be given to the Rev. Dr. CHALMERS by the citizens of Glasgow, upon the occasion of this celebrated Divine giving up the ministry of St. John's, and departing to become Profes s o r o f Moral Philosophy in ilia Universty of St. Andrew's, the same took place in the Assembly Rooms there. Above 300 Gentlemen of the first respectability, wealth, and talents, in the city, assembled on this occasion, to chew their respect for the Reverend Doctor, and their regret at his leaving the labours of the ministry in that city. A still greater number would have attended could accommodation have been obtained. At five o'clock the company sat down to an elegant dinner ; the lion. the Lord Provost in the chair, and James Ewing, Esq. croupier. The arrangements were excellent, and did the greatest credit to the attention of the stewards and other persons who had the charge of making them. After the cloth was removed, several loyal and patriotic toasty were given from the Chair ; atlei 'which his Lordship gave the health of Dr. Chalmers, which was received with loud applause. The Reverend Doctor returned thanks in an energetic and appropriate speech. • Several other toasts were given, and the company did not separate till a late hour. THE MURDER OF MR. WEA.RE. About one o'clock on Sunday last, Mr. Fr r. TON arrived in Hertford, and immediately repaired to the Town-ball, where the Magistrates were then sittin g , f or t h e purpose of requ i r i ng permission to visit ,John Thurtell, for whom alone he is professionally concerned. Mr. Fenton made his application in the first instance to the Rev. Mr. Loyd, he being the gentleman with whom Mr. Fenton, in conjunction with Mr. Jay, of Norwich, communicated in behalf of the prisoner on Thursday. Mr. Loyd immediately informed Mr. Fenton, that he was sure the order of the Magistrates for limiting the professional assistance to the prisoner to one solicitor, and he being Mr. Jay, would not be r esc i n d. ed. Mr. F enton b e i ng diss atia fi ed with this answer, said, that as the town-agent of Mr. Jay, who was then in Nor wich, it was his bounden duty to make his application to the Alagistrates collectively, from the heavy professional re sponsibility which devolved upon him. Mr. Loyd said that as some circumetancesof a serious nature had transpired since Mr. Fenton was last in Hertford, it was absolutely necessary, be. fore admission of any kind were allowed in behalf of the pri soner, that the character of the applicant should be strictly in vestigated, and that he (Mr. Loyd) must communicate the circumstances to which be alluded to the Magistrates. 'Mr. Fenton said, that he could have no possible objection to any in vestigation which the Magistrates might desire respecting him. self, but that he should like to be present at the time to af. ford any personal explanation which the cas e m i g h t require. Mr. Loyd then said that he would repair to the Magistrates, and requested Mr. Fenton to follow him up stairs which he accord ingly did. A ft e r M r . F enton bad remained 25 minutes in the lobby of the Magistrates' chamber, he was sent for, and upon entering the morn he stated that his business there was to desire permission to visit John Thurtell, as his professional adviser. Ile said that he acted as the agent of Mr. Jay, who, from his residence at Norwich, and the nature of his business (he being an eminent conveyancer), was not so well calculated to conduct such a case as a solicitor residing on the spot ; there. fore Mr. Jay was anxious that Mr. Fenton should give the ne cessary professional aid. One of the Magistrates remarked, that the prisoner Thurtell, as well as Mr. .Tay and Mr. Fen. ton, were perfectly aware before Mr. Jay was admitted on Thursday, of the imperative nature .of the order already re-'' ferred to, that only one Solicitor sh ou ld b e admitted, and had the opportunity of making their own selection ; they had done so, and as the choice had fallen upon Aft Jay, he alone could now be permitted to have access to his client. Mr. Fenton ad mitted the fact to be as described by the Magistrate, and that Mr. Loyd heard both Mr. Jay and Mr. Fenton consider which of them should visit the prisoner on Thursday; and Mr. Loyd here added, " Yes, and heard Thurtell hi mse l f refuse to see you (Mr. Fenton), and indeed say, that as he never saw you in his life, he would not communicate with you if you did enter his apartment; that he would not open his mouth, or tell you any thing." Air. Fenton replied, that in effect he believed 141 r. Loyd's statement was correct, for upon Thurtell being Informed that only one person could hav e access to him, he naturally selected the individual whom he had previously known, and when they . agreed that Mr. Jay should communi cate with the prisoner, it was fbr the purpose of his apprising Thurtell personally, that Mr. Fenton, w h om b e had never seen, was in point of fact his town-agent, posseased his ccaii deuce, and that with him, if it were found necessary, the psi. goner might confidentially communicate. The Magistrates replied, that Thurtell knew in the first in. stance how he stood with reference to the rule framed by them, j and that if his selection had fallen upon a gentleman whose local residence must embarrass his opportunities of professional communication in the case, he had only to blame himself for his choice ; but that they (the Magistrates) could not rescind the order, nor impair or qualify its effect. To this .Ur. Fen ton replied, that a country solicitor and his town-agent were always professionally considered as one and the same, and their conjoint efforts never before denied to a prisoner. The Magi- scrams, however, persevered in affixing the peremptory con. struction upon the order. Mr. Fenton again urged the professional reasons which ren dered it incumbent upon him to make the present application, and alluded to the difficulties which were imposed upon any Solicitor who had the management of this defence, from the ex.parte statements with which the public press haul teemed throughout this business, many of winch Mr. Jay had informed him, he knew to be false. In this remark the Magistrates expressed their coincidence, and Mr. Loyd himself stated, as one of these mi sre p resentations, that he had been called in the public papers the " .11ev. Mr. Elgood." Air. Fenton repeated, that he was obliged to make this application in the discharge of his professional duty, and that it was only in his character as a Solicitor for Thurtell he appeared before them. The Magistrates admitted that Mr. Fenton was only performing what he felt to be an imperative duty. Mr. Loyd at the same time remarked, that he had seen Mr. Jay the last time he had left the prison, and had ,not heard him exp ress any wish for M r . F enton ' s admission as his substitute. Alr. Fenton' however, begged to rec a ll Mr. Loyd's recollectio n to the fact, that previously, on Tuesday, Mr. „fay had re. peateally re queste d permission for his (Air. Fenton's) adonis. soon, and might naturally enough omitted to repeat, at parting, a request which, throughout the day, had been so often refesed. Upon an observation from some of the Magistrates that they had no official knowledge of Mr. Fenton's connexion with .Mr. Jay, Air. Fenton said that he was certainly unprepared at the instant with a written authority from Mr. Jay, and had entered the Alagis *rates room without expecting to recogniz e an y gent l eman present ; but that he wits happy to see Mr. Taylor present, who would no doubt remember him when he transacted sortie business for biro in the office of one of the most respectable *elicitors in London, and who could bear testimony to his being the person whom he had represented himself to be.— He then addee, that as he must apply elsewhere for that per. mission which the Magistrates persisted in refusing, lie begged to know finally and explicitly, if he was to understand that they absolutely denied to him the professional access which he now sought; the answer was, " Certainly, and more particularly, as there are not present several of the Al agistrates who signed the restrictive order, we cannot take upon ourselves to revoke what they have done ;" and Air. Loyd at length said, in the result, " IS e refuse to alter the order, without suitin g our reasons." Thi s b us i ness b e i ng at an end, Air. Fenton said, that he had an observation to offer before he departed, Which has no reference to this cause, but related to himself personally; and he then called upon Mr. Loyd to state what were the serious circumstances which he had discovered since his last visit to Hertford, that called for investigation of character, because, if they related to him, he was ready and anxious to meet them at once before the Magistrates. Upon this the Ala gistrates said, that they were sitting only on public business, and could not enter into private anti personal topics. Mr. Fenton rejoined, and said, that as Air. Loyd had been in pri vate communication with the Alegistretes fin. sonic time before he was admitted, he presumed that he bad, during that inter val, mentioned the same allusion to character which he had stat ed to himself at his first interview that morning. He (Air. Fen. ton) feeling himself thus alluded to, and being as well descended and as well connected us any of the gentlemen whom he had the honour of addressing, was naturally solicitous to vindicate him self. He thought he had a right to know what were the se rious charge% alluded to, and to explain them before he left that room. The Al agistratcs then all concurred in the propriety of the request. Upon this Air. Loyd rose, and asked Air. Fenton whether, since the year 1821, lie was riot indebted to Air. Nicholsonn, the solicitor of Llerthird, " eleven shillingr arid sixpence" for Ciis fee turnerShff Mr. Fentoo said, that he certainly owed no debt ; he, however, recollected that about the time alluded to, he had sent d own a wr i t to Mr. Nicholson, not as Under-Sheriff, but as a Solicitor, to be exe cuted. That he thought all the fees had been long since paid in the usual manner ; he, however, recollected that Mr. Nictiohon had lately sent an account of I la. 6d. for agency, which, Weaned for long ago, he had no doubt K ould have been regularly paid by someone ofhis clerks; but in this instance, Air. Fenton hall heard nothing of the charge until a year after the bankruptcy of his client, by which circumstance he had himself lost all costs. Ile added, that on the first day of his coming to Hert ford, and when he called upon Air. Nicholson to offer an undertaking for the liberation of Mr. 'Pearson he reminded Air. Nicholson of this trilling charge, of which I.llr. Nicholson professed to have no recollection, and immediately paid it.. Fenton left it to the Magistrates, after this explanation, to form what opinion they pleased upon the taste of the intro. diction of this topic. The Alagistnitee expressed their satis faction at this explanation, and hi reply to a further remark of Air. Fenton, said that they were perfectly satisfied with the conduct of that gentleman. Air. Penton, after thanking the Magistr a t es f or t h e i r personal attention, withdrew. In the course of the conversation of the day, Mr. Loyd made a remark upon Mr. Fenton's having offered to give an under taking professionally to the under- s h er iff, to put i n bail for Air. Pearson. Mr. Fenton edmitted the fact; and he said that he had done so for the best of all reasons, as he thought Pearson would, if at liberty, be of service to him in the discharge -of his duty ; anti then alluded to the inconsistency of altering the rooms 01' the prisoners upon any supposition of his being concerned in a collusive arrest to place Air. Pearson in the poi, when lie had instantly offered this un dertaking for his release, and could only want his assistance while at large. A Magistrate remarked, that they could not be too cautious. Since the visit of 31r. Jay, the solicitor of Norwich, to Thur tell in ilertford gaol, Thurtell appears in cash ; and has di ,rected the attendants who procure for him his food, to provide for Probert whatever he desires, and that he (Thurtell) has the cash for it; but of Hunt h e says h e k now* nothing. Since the Interchirage of the room; of Hunt and Thurtell, la *Wel? *. of an opinion entertained by ► the Reir. Aft Loyteztarhe ta acting sisiting Magistrate, arid in constant at ce in ie gaol, that the arrest of Mr. Pearson fbr debt was canner#44 with some plan f or private communication, although WO SO* Jay and Mr. Fenton, with whom 111 r. Pearson went to if. ford, offered a bail-bond for his personal appearance, the Magia trate.; continue to use, if poesible, an increased degree of vigil ance. Nothing is allowed in the ivey . of food to bo admitted which- does not undergo a close supervision and exarninatioo,- Thuitell is not, as has been described, abrupt and offensive to his demunour ; on th e contrary, he ia cool, colleeted, and cis it to those who have access to him. He . persists in denying hie guilt, means to rely upon an alibi for his defence—the eviderW:e (as hitherto disclosed ) would fix the time of the perpetration of the murder about eight o'clock, and Mrs. Probart 'does not speak to Thurtell'a arrival at the cottage lenJore test o'clock. There is no doubt that the defence will be an attempt to prove an alibi, and that, from the circumstances of the case, the trial cannot be termi nate d i n one day. Thurtell, since the visit of Mr. Jay, on 'l.:ursday, has been assiduo ri us in pre:par• ing ma teriels for his d e f ence : he has been constantly w, an ex. presses some an xiety f or the arrival of his solicito ting r. .His d eeeh was expended early in the , week, and he was one day at:teeny on the gaol allowance. He has now, however, some money, which was supplied to him for necessaries by his solicitor he regularly pays for Probert's ord - . rs. , and Alderman pays was not in town, as has beer stated; he has not been out of his house at Norwich since the dreadful event occurred which has plunged the family in so much affliction. Mr. Jay, the solicitor of Norwich, was dezuted by the family to afford the necessary means of defence to Thurtelis and lie has transferred the trust to his own agent, Mr. Fenton. The Magistrato, having already laid down a rule that only one professional adviser shall be admitted to each prisoner, ob ject to the introduction of any professional substitute fir Mr. Jay, who has returned to Norwich, and ulterior applic.aLone to higher tribunals will be the consequence. It is said that an applicathin will be made to the Court of fling's Bench on the subject. Mr. Aldenham, the Solicitor, of Red Lion-square, has been appointed by the parish-officers of the township where Mr. 'Weare was murdered, to conduct the g prosection. The Magi, rates at Hertf or d l ast Seturday declared u , tbatthey had nothing to do with the appointment of the Solicitor for the prosecution, which they said must rest with the parish-officera o n t h e spot. No legal assistance has as y et been offered for Probert or Hunt. Mr. Nicholson, the under-Sheriff (as we mentioned on Satur day), positively denies that he is retained for Probert. -- ST. A.I.I3AN'S, SATURDAY, NOY. 1 5.—Several persons WM inquirers at the gaol, this day, after the health of Mrs. Pro.. bert : she is Anita to be daily getting worse. The aurgeois who att - entis her and Miss Noyes speaks very doubtfully of her condition. Miss Noyes has beconic calm, and is chiefly em. ployed in reading books of a religious kind, which have been placed in the apartment for her use. She has repeatedly ex. prised her surprise at being detained in custody, when she is entirely ignorant of the transaction. On Friday night Mrs. Probert was frequently in'tears 1 she declares that her husband knew nothing of the deed till after it was perpetratad ; with t declaration she persisted in bobre, the Magistrates. 11r. Noyes expects to be liberated on Tuesday nc:at ; but w e ar e informed that a meeting of Alagistratex will then take place, to determine if Mr. Noyes and his sister shall be admitted to bail or if they s h a ll h e committal to the county gaol till the Winter Assizes, to give evidence on the trial. it has been decided that Mrs. i'robert is not to be enlarged till after he: husband's trial, and she has been finally examined, 1 01 .4 r: •:," .. 41 ,li „., ~,tio . . .. ~,,), e s * - r - -. -i 4.

This morning there is , main only a middling supply of Wheat, Itaill., Beans, and Peas, from Essex, Kent, and Sussex 4 and the quantity of Oata from the northern parts is unusually small for this season of the year.
