Although our min Government, in the present 'Ciitical 'state of • foreign politics, cannot be expected tp pay so much attention to the internal interests of the Empire, as is afforded by that orthe Netherlands, which is able to re . Pose much of its solicitude, respecting its exter mei relations, upon the natural guardian of Euro pean independence (Great Britain), yet a very general eXpectation is entertained that in the next Session of Parliament it is the intention of 4linisters to obtain leave to issue Exchequer :Bills for carrying on Public Local Works, at a • Apwer rate of interest than four per cent.

The Irish Orange Association has adop ted :a new system of rules and regulations, arranged by the Grand Lodge of Ireland, assembled in Dublin on the 4th of August, 1823. To these rules they had prefixed a short declaration, and a copy of the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration According to the new rules, no other oaths are to be taken by the Members of this Association, nor any secret to be kept, except the pass-words, by which they arc to be known to one another as members of the same body. The oaths are to be taken before Magistrates, and not privately administered. The present officers of the Grand Lodge of Ireland are as follows : Grand Allister—The Right Hon. Charles Henry St. John, Earl O'Neill, K. S. P., &c. Deputy Grand Master—Colonel William Blacker. Grand Treasurer—Sir Abraham Bradley King, Bart. Deputy-Grand Secretary—Daniel Fred. Ryan, Esq.,Barrister. Deputy-Grand Treasurer—William Stoker, Esq. Grand Chaplain—The Rev. John Graham A. M. Assistant Grand Chaplains—Th e Rev. Graham,. Harcourt Lees, Bart., the Rev. John I. Beresford, A. 8., and the Rev. S. H. Steward, A. B. The following is the declaration of the Lodge :—" This as sociation is formed by persons desiring, to the utmost of th e i r power, to support and defend his Majesty King George IV., the constitution and laws of the country, and the succession to the throne In his Majesty's illustrious House, being Protestant, for the defence of their person and property, and Tor the main. tenance of the peace of the country; and for these purposes the Members hold themselves obliged, when lawfully called upon, to beat all times ready to assist the civil and military powers in the just and lawful discharge of their duty. They associate, also, in honour of King William 111., . Prince of Orange, whose name they bear, whose glorious memory they hold in reverence, and whose illustrious deeds they annually comme morate, tending as they did to the restoration of civil and reli gious liberty, and of the pure form of religion established in these realms. This is exclusively a Protestant Association ; yet, detesting an intolerant spirit, it admits no persons into its brotherhood who are not well known to be incapable of pose. cuting, injuring, or Upbraiding any one on account of his reli gious opinions ' • but that their principle is, to 'aid and assist every loyal subject of every religious description, by protecting him from violence and oppression."—(frish Paper.) We copy the following important article,frorn o Glusgoro Courier of Tuesday last : " We some days ago noticed the arrival of I.k. MACKAY from Mexico, to which State, it was asserted, he had been sent upon a special mission , by our Government, and which the same report stated had been attended with complete success. We have• reason to believe, from information obtained through channels on which we can rely, that these reports are perfectly correct. , —The Doctor, we hear, has done .his business, negociating a commercial treaty with .Mexico, in a most complete and satis factory manner, and upon a basis t h at will prove most satis factory and beneficial to our merchants. So close did the Doctor keep the object of his visit to. Mexico, that not a single individual there had any idea of his business, and still less that it was of a public nature. IVithiu those few days a bill drawn for him while in Mexico, upon the Treasury here, passed through the hands of a commercial house in this city. The tied for commerce in Mexico.is very great, and the duties arc, we hear, to be fixed at a moderate rate, and upon a sworn in voice value as in the United States. WINDSOR, Nov. 27.---This morning after breakfast 1118 MAJESTY rode out in his phaeton. The King proceeded in his morning airing in the Great Park ). _ &c. for a considerabl e time. His MAJESTY Apected to leave us to-morrow, to the regret of the inhabitants, Six., for some length of time. SPANISH PATRlOTl.—Yesterday a Committee, composed of gentlemen of the first respectability, assembled at the British Hotel, Cockspur-street, for the purpose of promoting a subscription for the relief of those Spaniards who have been compel led to seek iu this country an asylum from the ►engeance of the restored FERDINAND. The committee, after consulting for some time as to the best means of effecting the object which they have in view, adjourned until Monday next. Colonel JONES, of the Grenadier Guards, who was in the chair, received communications from Earl SPENCER., and other distinguished indivi duals, approving of the proposed subscriptions, and expressing the strongest sympathy for the unfortunate Spaniards. r. HonAcc Twas.---The reason that induc ed this gentleman to come forward with a public declaration that l u has not, and never had, any connection with the weekly Paper in titled JOHN BULL, is, we understand, because isuch a report had been current in legal circles, and the Gentlemen of the Bar, deemed it a point of professional Etiquette that it should be openly contradicted. Otherwise the disavowal might have been considered as an officious intrusion upon public notice. CAPTAIN PARRY. --An account of the lust Voyage of this enterprising and intelligent orna ment of the British Navy, we understand, is now preparing, under the unction of the Admiralty. Every thing of oourse important and interesting will be recorded. The work will be highly gra tifying to the world at large, and will remain a perpetual monument of the zeal for knowledge, and the liberality with which it was carried into effect, which so honourably mark the British character, with respect to the enterprise itself, end the persevering spirit, as well as fortitude, which attended its execution. The late JonN TAYLon VatromAtt, whose recent death has been stated, was well known to the fashionable circles, and at one period was admitted even into those of Royalty He was an Underwriter by profession, and ac cording to report, possessed considerable pro.. perty. He was blunt and unaccommodating in his manners, but hospitable, and not unwilling to render a kind service in his own peculiar trimmer. He was well-known in the streets of London and from the peculiarity of his hat, was generally styled HAT.NAIIGIIAN, and by many Pensjilvanian VAuclitArr, as the covering of his head was in the American shape. lie was the me dium of a very benevolent offer on the part of his present Majesty to the family of the late Mr Sna. AMIN, during the close of that Gentleman's life, but which was declined, because the family had ample resourses to supply every thing that his si tuation could require. The zealous and disinte rested attention shewn to this great Orator, Politi cian, and Poet, during his last illness, and till his death, is one of those noble instances of kindness which have always marked the character of his friend, Dr. BAIN, who has now, we find, relin quished the medical profession, and resides, Alum cum thin/tate, at his seat in Dorsetshire.

Among the charges brought` tigitinst this mtir. dered patriot are those of cruelty and rapacity at Malaga ; and as it would have been hazardous. to assert the ill treatment of British commercial tresidents, without supplying names and particulars, the pretended mercantile sufferers were transform ed into Americanc—with what justice we leave the following extract from the Nor York .Evening Post of October 31, to decide JIMMY IMPORTANT FROM gpA/N. The arrival at Boston of the brig Prudent, Ellis, in 37 days from Malag a , b r i ngs t h e following note from Mr. Barrel, United States' Consul at Malaga, containing highly favourable and most cheering intelligence from the Peninsula. It ought to make those who have all itiNg sneered at us for holding similar language respecting the aftkirs of Spain, hide their di. minished heads:— " News has just reached us, that Itiego,after giving the French a complete beating in the streets of Jaen, _leaving 700 of them dead, besides wounded, proCeeded on hia•mareh, and was in a place called La Carolina, rapidly marching towards Madrid, and was in expectation of joining with Martin, the Empecinatio,, , and but little doubt remains that he is at this moment within a, few leagues of the capital of Spain.' The authorities of this place spread a report two days since, that he was captuted ; but it was merely to deceive the ignorant, and keep alive the hopes of the Serviles; more properly called the " Banditti of Ipain." If the Government in Cadiz remain firm . a very short time' longer, the face of affairs in this unhappy Country sill Wear a different aspect; and Europe may have to thank-Spain forsiV. ing all the Continent from despotism. The conduct of Riego while in this place has hien ported in the Gibraltar Chronicle in a base and shameful light --false in every respect, and a tissue of lies. lie acted like a gallant soldier, and a firm unshaken patriot ; and among all the Generals in Spain he has proved himself capable of acting for his unfortunate country in the true „style of the old Romans. Malaga, Sept. 20,1823.'" SAVILLE Roosts, LEICESTER-SQUARE.— Milli MACAULEY, last night, gave her Histrionic Deli needn't of the character of MARY S UAltp , at this place. The composition is her own, and her recitation gave full force to it, with such a variety: of expression as the nature of the subject re quired. We regret that we have not room to detail the merits of her entertainment. The literary talents and oratoriel -powers of this Per former place her indeed bra 'very -tonspicuons ' light s and well entitle her to public admiration and encouragement. Brrn, Nov. U.—The long promised perform an" of Italian Operas at our Theatre, took place last night. The performers engaged for the oc casion were Madame floNzt De BEGNIS, Signor Brunez, Signor PLAcci, and Signor de Heusi's. The piece represented was It Turco in Italia. In addition to these performers, Miss GEORGE, Mr, PRILLIVS, and Mr. LATHAM assisted. The whole was under the direction of Signor DE BEGNIS. Mr. Longa was the leader of the band, and Sir GEORGE SMART presided at the Piano-forte. Wl' have not at present morn for the particulars of this harmonic treat in the regions of Old BLADUD. COACZ RACE.---Another of this degrading and dangerous competition which so frequently takes place occurred on ll r eduesday in the New Road from Paddington. Two suburb stages pro ceeding to the Bank struggled for precedence with such perilous activity us to terrify all spec tators on the road. One .young woman was so shaken and frightened that She was nearly thrown off the top of the coach, hut was taken down on a momentary halt. The horses seemed to be sinking under the merciless contention, and the neck of one of them was quite raw and bleed. ing. This account was given to us by a Lady, who followed the stages some time in her own carriage, alarmed at the probable result, and who informs us that she has obtained the numbers of the two coaches. We advise the Proprietors of the Coaches to enquire* into the conduct of their drivers ; and they will probably learn that these mischievous contentions frequently occur. We wish that Mr. MARTIN had witnessed this disgraceful scene. A letter from Plymouth says, that " MINA and LtonEnA are in a French brig in the Sound, which is an-' der quarantine." This accounts far the delay in the arrival of that distinguished Patriot in London.

SUN-OFFICE, TMILEE O'CLOCK. Dispatches arrived this morning, bringing ac. counts from Madrid to the 19th, with positive information that FERDINAND'S confidential Minis ter SAiz, had not only retained his own situation but arranged the whole of the Ministry. Fan.. DINAND, it is said, has turned a deaf ear to all the importunities of FItANCE, AUSTRIA, RUSSIA, and ENGLAND, as to their endeavours to persuade him to change his Prime Minister, as well as with regard also to the recognition of the Bonds, which he now says are trot Spanish Bonds; and that he is indifferent whether he succeeds or not in raising money by a New Loan, as he, is quite sure that he has sufficient resources to carry on the affairs of Government ; having been relieved from the burthens which were imposed upon his Country, not for, its, welfare but for th• private gain of a set of desperate men whom the Power of Gov, and his Allies, have confounded. Such is the outlinC of the letters which have arrived, and, we pro are assured, have been received in a moat respectable quarter. P 0 E It Y. TrIE RORSES OF LYSIPPUS.

Mr. Phillips stated that his stock had been of late plundered to a very great extent, and although be had tried all manner of schemes to detect the thief, he never succeeded till Wednesday last. In cousequence of the dis appearance of a vast quantity of extra fine tooth. brushes, he had for security placed five gross in a trunk, under lock and key, and which trunk was secreted under the bed. On Wednesday afternoon, about one o'clock, the prisoner went out. Ile followed him to the house of a man named 13olton, in Grenville -street, Clarendon.. square, Somers Town. In the evening he made inquiries of Holton, who admitted purchasing three gross and one dozen of tooth brushes of the prisoner, at a fair price, and that he had mulct.- taken to supply him with twelve gross more en Monday. On inspecting the trunk in which he had deposited the five gross, be found that three gross and five dozen were missing. The prisoner must have taken the key f►om the cupboard, un locked the box, and after he had stolen the brushes, locked it again and replaced the key.— He was remanded for further examination, TILE ARMY.

On Tuesday last a Coroner's Inquest was held t the Boar's Bead, Heaton Norris, on the body of the untiar .unote female who WAS murdered et Stockport, on Saturday night. The first evidence called was 31r. John Alandand, part ner in the house of Thos. Alarsland and Sons, who aduuttsd having been with the girt from eleven to twelve o'clock oh Sa turday night—he then bid her good night, in the presence of tha watchman, and separated from her ; he went direct home to his father's house, and attempted to unlock the door, hat finding a key left inside he awakened one of the servants ; it was at that time a few minutes after twelve. The servant was examir. al, who deposed es to the time of his coming in, anti heard him subsequently go up stairs to bed. Others of the servants a ere examined, who heard him come into the house. A witness, passing by the spot when the body ads fl"lnd' at quarter p e a t twe l ve, deposed that lie saw a person rise up front behind a heap of rubbish ; he did not know theater), and was afraid he intended to rob hint; the person, however, took no notice of him, and after he had passed he saw the same per son conceal himself behind the rubbish again; he took partrett he notice of the man, and could identify him. This witness was taken to the New Bailey prison, and strewed into a mum, in which were a number of people, Prom whom he instantly selected one, who had been apprehended by the police on Sall. day, and whose name is Iforstield. Another witness deposed that he saw florslield in the mar.. ket-place with d eceased, at a quarter past ten, previous to her going to meet Mr. Af ar sland, who was the lino witness.. Borafield's account of' himself was as follows t—fle and the deceased lived in adjoining houses, about a mile from the Market-place, Stockport—he saw her about five o'clock in the evening, and agreed to see her in Stockport at eight or lane o'clock —Ole was to call upon him at the King's flead—she did not cal according to her promise —nearly ten o'clock he met with a girl he knew, and walked with her through the fields to Bower Ifouse-yard, in which she lived, and passed his own house towards Lancashire-hill—he left he r at half past ten, went borne, and never left the house till called up in the morning. This account being contradicted by the previous' evidence, the Jury brought in a verdict—" Wilful Murder against Wil. liam florslield, ' and he was committed to Lancaster for trial. The prisoner had been for some time endeavouring to gain the affections of the girl; but whether she encouraged 'him dixis not yet appe ar . Popular feeling, in the first instance, directed its suspicion against Mr. M. ; but his account of himself, and the satisfac tory corroboration by other evidence, removed every suspicion of that nature from the public mind.
