Privide Correspondence from Vera Crux, Nov. 20.--'Phis City is in a dreadful state, the yellow fever has made its appearance, and in ad. dition to this awful scene nightly assassinations are committed. Individuals of all nations 'who had resorted here as adventurers, are reduced by poverty and distress to the necessity of enlisting in the Mexican ranks. Business is at a stand. To day a Proclamation was issued by the Emperor declaring an active war against the forces of Old Spain remaining in Mexico. All communication ceases between the Castle and the City, and the American vessels are warned away. The fate of Mexico is involved in clouds and darkness, and time alone can decide on her fate.

CHICHESTER ELECTION. It is reported that on Thursday evening Mr. POYNTZ was 26 a-head of Sir GODFREY WEBSTER, and that it Was expected the Election will close to,day or Monday. It is not a little remarkable that no regular publicity has been given of the progress of this Election, so that the absent inhabi tants or freemen might judge of the necessity of their attending to vote. It has .been o b served; that the right of Electi on i n this City is'net correctly understood, and which in all proba. bility arises froM the error of Mr. MALE, who; in his book on Elections, edition 1018, Appendix, p. xcix,' states, that the right of Election is in " the inhabitants paying scot and lot." The same Tor, and not the only One; pervades:Mr. OLD FIELD'S book cn tbe RepreSentation of the Country. Whereas it appears from CAniw, p.. 1,14, and other writers, and by. the Journals of the House of Commons, that it had been soleninly decideyl,.; " thatthe cOmmonolity of the Borough, together with " the free Citizens, had the right of Election." We arc in. thieed to point, out this .error in Mr. MALE and Mr. 01.1)- FIELD'S works, that the same may be rectified in future edi tions ; but, we believe, if the Journals of the Rouse of, Com mons were regularly gone,tlirough, from the reign of Et.l*A. BETII to the reign s of GEopou the First, many other errors will be found. On this subject, and many other p`l:4nts which will necessarily arise out of a constitutional review of the Gren ville Act, and its effects on the Representation of the CouotrY, we reserVe ourselveti for another. =anion. We cannot, b ow ever, but lament that Lord JOuN RUSSELL, Mr. LAMITON, and the other Whig adVocates for Reform, entirely overlook the r(4trnining effect:of this Statute , on the ancient right of Election in many'phices, and we, equally regret the unanimity which prevails among the Whigs to perpetuate oceasionality in an the Close &roughs! THE , KlNG.—(Brighton, Feb. 13.) The Palace report of the state of his MAJI:STY'S Health to-day has heen of the most pleasing cha racter, and most cheerful is the effQct it has upon the town. On Thursday afternoon,.. soon after the arr i va l of Mr. VANSITTAR T and. Mr. BATHURST at the King's Palace, at Brighton, the Right Bon. Gentlemen had audiences of his MAJESTY, when Mr. BArituasT resigned his Seals, and oth er in. signiti of office, as Chancellor of the Duchy o f Lancaster;' and the KING was gracious)y plen6ed 'to deliver them to Mr. VANSITTART, who sae coeds Mr. BATHURST.

Yesterday Mr. ItnaiNsoN, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, transacted business at the Trea sury. Having, as our Renders are aware, uniformly and strenuously advocated the cause of the heroic Greeks, we could not but severely regret that thy' Deputies of their Government were not admitted to the late Congress at Verona, for the purpose of asserting their claims to the proles. tion of Christendom. A copy of the Note of the Creek Government to the Congress, has been received in London, ;Ind we find will ap pear exclusively, in the British .11fonitor of to morrow, together witlyan account of an import ant arrest, which proves that the Prussian influ ence has been destroyed in Greece. THE ARMY. TUE. DECCAN MIME CASE.' TREASURY CIIAMIIERS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 5, 1823. PItESENT, THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL, • THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, THE HON. BERKELEY PAGET VISCOUNT LOirrn ER, , LORD GRANVILLE, IL SOMERSET. [EXTRACT FROM THE MINUTE.] " Their Lordships having,heard Counsel in support of the Claims of the Marquis of HASTINGS 4114 the GRAND ARMY, and 'of thoie of Sir THOMAS BISLOP and the ARMY of the DEceam, and having maturely and deliberateliweighed and considered all the documentary evidence laid before them, in behalf of the several parties, anti the arguments of the Counsel, —are of opinion, that the most just and equitable principle of distribution will be, to adhere, as nearly as the circumstances of the case may admit, to that of actual capture : and that, although they are aware that the principle of constructive cap. ture must, under certain circumstances, in a degree be ad mitted, the disposition should be to lithit, rather than to ex tend, that principle : " They are, therefote, of opinion, that the mode of distribu tion originally intended by the Marquis of Hastings, would be most equitable and just, with respect to the booty taken at Poonah, Mahidpore, and Nagpore ; and that the booty taken on each of those occasions respectively, should belong to the ,divisions of the Deccan Army engaged in the respective opera tions in which the same was captured : But that, as the division of the Bengal Army, under Brigadier-General Hardman, ap pears to have been put in motion for the purpose of co-operating directly in the reduction of Nugpore, and to have been actually engaged with a corps of the enemy, antecedent to the surrender of that place, this division appears to their Lordships to be justly entitled to share in the booty captured at Nagpore ; And that such other booty, arising from the operations against the Mahrattas in the years 1817 and 1810, as may now be sub ject to His Majesty's Royal disposition, should be granted to such divisions of' the Grand Army. under the command of the Marquis of Hastings, and of the Deccan Army, under the command of Sir Thomas Hislop, as may respectively have captured the same. • " Their Lordships are also of opinion, that conformably to the letter of the Marquis of Hastings to Sir Tho Mas Hislop, of the 12th of January; 1818, Sir Thomas Hislop, as Cornman. der-in-Chief of the Deccan Army, and all the Officers of the General Stair of that Army, are entitled to particiPate in the booty which may arise from any capture by any divisions of the Army of the Deccan, until the said Army of the Deccan was broken up on the 31st March, 1818. " Their Lordships have felt it to be inconsistent with their duty to recommend to his Majesty to give his sanction to any agreement for the common division of booty, into which the several divisions of either Army may have entered, as it is their decided opinion, that if the principle of actual capture be not adopted in this case as the rule of distribution, no other correct Or equitable rule could have been adopted, than that of a gene, ral distribution amongst the forces of all the Presidencies en. gaged in the combined operations of the campaign. " Theirlordships do not consider that, under all the cir cumstances of this case, it will be expedient to recommend to his Majesty to grant any part of this booty to the East India Company. " Ana their Lordships will submit to 'his Majesty their re. commendation, that he will be graciously pleased to direct that his Royal Grant of the said booty may be made in conformity with these principles." It is expected that Richard, Earl of Cavan, K. C. Colonel of the 68th Foot, and Governor of Calsilot Castle, gill succeed to the Colonelcy of the 4th Regiment, vice General Lister, de ceased.

LEGAL MUNIFIOcNcE.--The following fact ought to be made public, in justice to one of the most estimable characters in this country, and who would have done honour to the best of times. A venerable Member of the Judicial Bench, who was somewhat involved in his cir cumstances, from the pressure 'of former pecu. niary obligations, is so highly respected by the Gentlemen of the Bar, that they raised a Subscriptio►► in his favour. The sum required was 10,000/.; 7,500/. was collected. The. list was then carried to the LORD CRAN CELLoit, who immediately gave a draft for the whole of the remainder. This is by no means the first instance of the liberality of the same, dignified character to professional gintlemen in embarrassed circumstances ,• " These are imperial work:, and worthy Kings." ORATOR grand musical treat took place last night at Drury-Lane Theatre. The selec tion was chiefly from HAND L,' ROSSINI, and IlcurnovEst. We regret that we have not room to notice the particular merits of the entertain. t, but when we state thwt the vocal depart ment was supported by Mrs. SALMON, CAMPO. RUSE, CURIONI, BRAIIAM, BELLAMY, Miss STEPHENS, Miss TREE, Miss FORDE, and Miss PA'roN; it is hardly necessary to add that the whole formed a rich harmonic treat.— Miss Dianix, a daughter of Mr. CHARLES DianiN, came forward for the first time, we believe, in public, and acquitted herself most ably in a concertante for two harps with I3ocusA. It was on both parts an admirable specimen of instiumental skill. T e house was crowded in all parts. • KING's TnEATRE.--The Concert Room at this Theatre was opened hist night for an illustration of the EIDOURANION by Mr. ‘VALKEII, 14 member, of that family who have long gratified the public with Lectures on the sublime science of Astronomy, Mr. WALKER. evidently inherits the talents and knowledge of his predecessors, and seemed highly to gratify a numerous audience. ENGLISII OPIILt lIOM.--1141'. BARTLEY ) who added to his well-merited reputation as an actor that of an intelligent and able Lecturer on Astronomy, during the LENT Season, last year, resumed his discourses on that wonderful subject last night. He delivered his lecture with pecu liar distinctness, animation, and effect. The whole was illustrated by admirable machinery, which rendered all he said very instructive and very gratifying. lie was most deservedly up plautled. We are rebuked in an amusing little diurnal work, styled the " Theatrical Obser.ver," for having censured the assignment of parts among Gang of Gypsies,.. to Miss CURITT and Miss Foapv. We join in commending them for " putting their shoulders to the wheel," but we still think that they both deserved higher sta tions iu the theatrical vehicle. FOR THE SUN. THE ROYAL LIBRARY. Ma. EDITOR —His late MAJESTY, on his tir res. sion to the Throne, laid the foundation of a Li brary, which he intended should never be sepa rated from the Crown; it was to be an heir-loom of the Crown.—lt is a curious circumstance, that this Library was entirely accumulated during the life of the Founder; and that the person em ployed at the commencement of the collection still continues to preside over it; that is, from the year 1762 to the year 1823—a period of sixty-one years.

We have much pleasure in announcing that the goodly work of removing the houses attached to our venerable Abbey Church has, within these few days, been actually coin menced ; and in coarse of a short period the premises lately occu pied by Mrs. Wright, at the N.W. corner, and the large house in the Grove, recently in the possession of Mr. Webster, will be levelled with the round. As we un d ers tand the Cor poration h a v e res o lve d not to renew the premises on the north of the Abbey, of '.which they are the grotti,d landlords; and that Earl Manvers has intimated a simiLr determination with regar d to hi s property on the south part of the noble structure, there is every, reason to hope, that in due course of time the whole of the houses that have so long eneura bered and obscured its architectural beauty will be removed, and " leave not a wreck behind." —(IC.
