at this moment 55 to I. In the earlier part of the morning a good deal of business was done both in Spanish and New Scrip. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (Front the Courier Frangais, dated Dec. 31.) After mass, the KING ' held a Council of Mi nisters in his Palace, which lasted an hour. Count d'Escars died last night. It appears certain that yesterday there was 'a Council of Ministers at M. Lauriston's, in which M. Chateaubrand assisted, and at which it was decided that the present Ministry shall remain in office until the meeting of the House, which is fixed for the 28th of January. We have received the Spanish Journals, by an extraordinary conveyance, of the 15th and 24th Dec. iln the first there is nothing of importance ; in the second, as well as in the private letters, we do not find any thing to justify the reports which one of the evening Papers reported yester day, and which several of our Journals copied this morning. At the departure of the courier all remained quiet at Madrid. Letters from Madrid state, that the communi cations between the Foreign Powers and our Government are very active, nothing of which has as yet transpired. • PERPiGNAN, Dec. 21.—The snow has not ceased falling since Thursday, which has ren dered the roads impassable. PUYCERDA., DEC. 19.—We are now certain that Fleyres and Valere, after having been driven from Campredon and all its environs, have taken refuge in France. (Fran: the Gazette de France, Dec. 31.) Amongst the persons spoken of who is to be Ambassador to England, is that of the Duke de Fitz James. 13AYONNE, DEC. 22.—General Torregos, with 3,000 men, coming from Pampeluna has struck .terror into the Army of the Faith, which has retreated on our frontiers ; but on their arrival at Lombiers they received orders to march for Arragon to join the remains of the army of Baron D'Eroles. O'Donne), abandoned by most of his men, who have returned home again, has himself quitted all the positions he occupied in Navarre, dividing his few remaining troops into small parties. ILLYnic, DEC. 11.—Lord Strangford, Ambits. sador to the Porte, arrived here from the Con. gress. A report prevails that the Turkish General is authorized to offer an armistice to the Greeks, CHOURSCHID PACHA, the Turkish Comman tier, who, by his enterprising spirit, and the vigour of his military operations, placed the cause of the Greeks in such imminent peril that nothing but the most devoted heroism, and the blessing of the God of Battles on their arms, could save them and their country from destruc tion, has lost his head, by order of the barbarian, ungrateful, and murderous Government, which he had so zealously and so skilfully served. We yesterday stated that the private letters from all parts of the Continent had become re markable for the increased confidence with which their writers spoke of the cause of the heroic Greeks. From the important details con tained in the Foreign Intelligence of our Paper of this day, our Readers will see that the expec tations in favour of Greece are well founded.— Nothing, surely, can exceed the distraction and dismay of the Turks, or the undaunted resolu tion and inextinguishable energy with which their self-emancipated subjects have sustained and re pelled the successive attacks of their formidable and infuriated enemies. The secession of hostilities during the winter will enable the Greeks to consolidate their Government, to secure the advantages which they have already - gained, to improve their domestic resources, to recruit their armed force, and, we sincerely hope, to obtain the recognition of their independence, and the succours which are( necessary for its complete establishment, from that Power which is the most able to effect their deliverauce from the Turks, and which, at the same time, can have no political motive for subjecting them to another and scarcely less barbarous yoke. Greece, -which has proved itself so formidable to the Otto man domination as an enemy, cannot but be valuable to England as an ally, if England, boldly disentangling herself from the insidious policy of the Holy Alliance, will but in this case adopt that course which is plainly pointed out to her by a wise and generous Icy I' , bytldi ctates po of humanity, and the doctrines and precepts of religion. That the Turkish Empire in Europe cannot much longer exist, has become obvious even to the most superficial observers. It has been gradually declining, until it is now but the shadow of its former greatness ; and that shadow has only been preserved by the jealousies and op interests of other States. In a few years more, however, it must- ba finally dissipated by the effects. of internal' convulsions, if not re moved, by the fire of a Russian invasion. Nothing, therefore, can prevent the annexation of Euro pean Turkey toltussia, but the erection of a new Christian Empire on the ruins of the Mus sulsnan Tyranny. The Greeks, who have so nobly struggled for their emancipation from oppression, under all the disadvantages of an in surrectionary war and of an imperfectly con. structed and unrecognized Government, will of course display equal heroism ; with infinitely greater resources and power, and with all the advantages which, as an independent State, she would reap from her alliances with the other Powers of Europe, and particularly with Great Britain, in resisting the dangerous en croachment of Russia, and in setting limits to the territorial progression of that overgrown and rapacious Empire. The Greeks would be more deeply interested than any other European na tion in disconcerting the vast projects of Russia, because they would be more immediately endan gered than any other people by their success.

Bayonne Papers to a recent date reached us this morning ; they contain accounts of the pro. ceedings of MINA, but they are not of a late date, nor of great importance. MINA, in one of his reports mentions the defeat of D'Eacn.Es, and that he had seen '2,500 of the Insurgents lay down their arms on the French territory into which he had driven them. The Nuremberg Gazelle contains some details respecting the arrival of the Solon of 60 guns at Bastin, from Marseilles, with a battalion of Ger man troops, consisting of 600 men, of whom 200 are for the artillery, all perfectly armed and equipped. They have with them a good band of music. The rnoney by which this battalion has been fitted out was collected by subscriptions in Gernuiny. Among, the subscribers is the King of Wurtemberg, who gave 60,000 florins from his privy purse. M. Bethman, the banker of Frank fort, subscribed 160 lonia d'or. The Swiss Can tons of Zurich, Berne, and Arau, have furnished 18 pieces of cannon and 3 mortars. This bat talion is to wait at Bastia, to be joined by 7 or 800 volunteers, commanded by a Colonel of Ilesse Darmstadt, named Dittmar. The following paragraph, from the Journal de Paris of Monday last, contains seine explanation respecting the proceedings instituted by the Spanish Ambassador at Paris against the con tractors fur the loan to the Urgel Regency :--- " The Drapeau Blanc has stated that the Duke de San-Lorenzo has proceeded against M. Casi mir Perrier for negotiating the paper of the Co. lumbian Government for the profit of the insur gents. We can assert that this statement is des titute of foundation, and that no suit has been instituted by his Excellency against M. Casimir Perrier. It is true that the tribunals have re fused to recognize the Signature of the Duke of San Lorenzo in the suit which his Excellency has commenced against MM. Ouvrard and Rouge mont, on account of the loan for the Regency of Urgel, until it shall be legally authenticated by the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs ; but we have good reason to believe that the Drapeau Blanc's statement of the refusal of that Minister to comply with this formality, without which the Ambassador's signature cannot obtain a public character before the Courts, is as little true as that respecting the suit against M. Casimir Perrier."—(Journal de Paris.) Yesterday, being New Year's Day, the Duke of YORK, agreeably to annual custom, left town soon after twelve o'clock for Brighton ) to dine with the KING. The Duke of SUSiEX was likely to have made a fatal mistake a few days since at Bognor, by taking a strong embrocation that was intended for a fomentation; the mistake he discovered im mediately, and had recourse to swallowing a large quantity of warm water, which had the effect of bringing the whole off his stomach, and very soon relieved him from the perilous dose ; he found no other ill effects but temporary sickness. His Royal Highness labours under an asmatic affec tion.—(Brighton Chronicle.) We understand that the intelligence contained in the Pilote of the 25th ult., on the authority of letters from Rio of the Roth October, that Lord COCHRANE had been invited to repair to Rio Ja neiro by the Revolutionary Government of Bra zil, turns out to be correct. An invitation was at the same time given to every English Sea OM cer, on the terms of receiving a promotion of a step above the grade he held in his own service. To English sailors, the expence of their passage, and 31. sterling of pay per month, were offered. —(Morning Chronicle.) From the will of Prince HARDENBERG it ap. pears that his whole fortune amounts to about 700,000 dollars. His chief heirs are his two children by his first marriage with the Countess ltEvEN'rLow, viz. Count lIARDENRERG REVENT. Low, and his sister Princess of PUCKLER MUSKAU. His second (divorced) wife, who lives in Italy, retains her annual allowance of 1,000 dollars,— Th e Prince's third wife is to have a jointure of 1,000 dollars per annum, and the estate of Gliencke, near Berlin, for her residence; she will also, it is supposed, have a pension from the State, in the same manner as Princess BLUCHER. The Prince's nephew, the young Count HMI. DENBERG, has, in estates, &c. a capital of 40,000 dollars. There are also considerable legacies to private persons, and annuities to his servants.— (German Paper.) BRIGHTON, DEC. 31. There was no company at the Palace to-day, besides his MA JESTY and Royal suite, including the Marquis Graham, and the Earl and Countess of Warwick. No invitations have been issued for an increase of company in the evening.— Lord and . Lady F. L. Gower left their names to-day, as a preliminary to their departure for London to-morrow.

It will be the first Fete given for many years at that superb Seat of the Cowper Family. Great improvements, in architectural decoration, have occupied the Noble Lord's attention during the last two years. The New Library, a noble apartment, is to be the Ball-room on the above night. The whole interior is to be lighted up on a con. struction entirely new : and the Supper will be a banquet upon such a elegant scale as is rarely seen. The Earl and Countess of Albemarle are keeping up Old English hospitality in the most finished stile, at Quidenham Hall, in Norfolk. The Viscountess Cremorne, having devoted ten days to acts of charity at Chelsea Farm, has now returned to town, to dis pense her beneficence in Stanhope street. Her Lady ship en tertained a few fashionable friends yesterday. Briton Hall, in Yorkshire, the seat of the Beaumonts, dis plays itself, as usual, in acts of spirited benevolence. The Countess of Dysart entertained a distinguished party at dinner yesterday, at her seat, Ham House, Surrey. The Countess of Essex had a select party of fashionable% yesterday evening, at her house in Hill.street, Berkeley square. The Earl of Harrowby is entertaining a distinguished party of friends at his seat, Sandon Hall, Staffordshire. PORTSMOUTH CASE. The LORD CHANCELLOR having directed a Commission to be issued, for an inquiry , before a Jury of the state of Lord PORTSMOUTH'S mind, this matter is expected shortly to be brought before that tribunal. We have authority to state, that so tar from the Hon. NEWTON FELLOWES having any in terested views in the proceedings beyond the protection of his brother and the security of the title and estates, he has ex. pressed his determination, and which must defy the prejudices which have so long and so unjustly existed against him, that in the event of Lord Portsmouth being found to be of unsound mind, he will neither accept the appointment of Committee of the person nor estates, but will merely retain his present dia. racter of one of the trustees, with the desire that every shilling of the income arising from the estates should be applied, dur ing Lord Portsmouth's life, for promoting the comfort and happiness of the Noble Earl, and in the necessary repairs of the property.—(Morning Paper.) THE SERPENTINE RIVER. The ice exhibited the same picture as on the preceding day. The best akaiters had changed their former . position to the vicinity of the lodge built by the Humane Society ; the ice at the East-end of the river being greatly cut up. There were a few carriages about two o'clock, but none of note. The day was not so cold as the preceding ones, but the fog had en creased. 111 (ZN ) rt- ..., 13,1~(8), "‘ 4 14 -1 . . 06/ !al. 41 4 ndlL 0 0 . 1 ' , ' • ,04 4 ;- ; igwt . e 4 2, oY J 9 Si - 't; SPOIITING.

Mr. Udney's Uxbridge won the Cup in two ties, and Mr. Humphries' bl. b. the Cover.—The sports were altogether ex. cellent. At the close of a silly book, the author, as usual, printed the word FINIS t a wit wrote under it the fol lowing couplet:--- " FINIS ! an error or a lte, my friend I " In writing foolish books—there is no end." The female proprietor of a boarding-house in the city of Batavia, being e(pplied to by an acquaintance for accommodations under her mot, regrotted her inability to re. ceive him, on account of her house being already tilled " But," added the dame, with obliging earnestness, " do not be impatient ; my lodgers are new comers ; and you know, my dear friend, we are certain of death vacancies in is short time." In a company of topers, whose fancies are always inventive of a reason fair to fill their glass again,' a round of belles was proposed. Dr. Barret, upon being called upon for the fair ob ject of his admiration, gave, with much gravity, ' the college bell.' DIODORUS SHAMUS says, that among the an cient Egyptians, one of the articles or conditions of their marriage contracts was, that " the bus band should be obedient to the wife."—We have often heard of Egyptian bondage, but never knew that it had been carried so far its this before. THE FOUR, P's.—M. PoNTAC, a French Ma gistrate, of great abilities, but extremely indolent, having retired to his country seat, to divert himself during the summer season, a suitor went to him to solicit a final determination of a cause which had been many years protracted.' Ile arrived just as the President was going to mount for the chase. M. Pontac being of a facetious disposition, bade him stay, till he came back, and in the meantime to - amuse himself with finding out the meaning of the letters that were over his gate, namely—four P's. When Pontac came back from the chase, he found his dangling suitor. " Well, my friend," says the Judge, " Have you made out the inscription ? ' " Yes, my Lord, that I have." " Aye, well, what is it ?" It is pauvre plaidrur, prenez patience.— (Poor pleader, pray have patience.)--!'he real signification of the letters was, Peter Pontac., Premier President ; but M. Pontac was so pleased with the new turn ingeniously given to them, and so admonished by the reproof it conveyed, that the cause was decided next day. A Luc !—The pigs in the vicinity of Naples are so fat as to be able to move only with difficulty ; and several persons have been curious to learn in what manner this deal. deratum was obtained. They were informed that the pigs were always fed in the first instance with Indian Corn, and then generally permitted to shift for themselves ! The method adopted by the Neapolitans to ascertain when the ani. mal is fit for the knife, is as extraonlinary as it is cruel—an iron probe is Plunged into the side of the animal, and when the point touches the lean or museularfibre (not till then !) it is in. dicated by the expression of pain.—(Shrewsbury Paper.) THE CURISTIAN „tEa.t.—The most ancient author whom w e fi n d us i n g the modern mode of date, Anna is the venerable BEDE, who published his Ecclesiastical History in 731. It was adopted in France under King PEPIN, and fully established in the reign of CHARLEMAGNE. The custom of beginning the year on the Ist of January commenced in France in 1564. POETRY. GREECE. Blest be the memory of those, Who, fighting for their country's right, Fall while the combat hotly glows, • And seal their eyes with death's dark night. Blest be their memory ! though past • This varied scene of joy and woe, Their fame, their deathless fame, shall last Till Honour's current cease to flow. Ye Patriots who so nobly wage The war with Turkey's fated pest, Oh I may your just, your virtuous rage, As brilliant blaze in every breast. May every fetter'd Nation now In Europe's ample, blood-stain'd chart, Feel your contagious influence glow, And rouse each manly free-born heart. It is not mad ambition's call That ye thus eagerly obey, Not love of wealth that bids ye fall To Death's unsparing arm a prey. The sordid stimulus of gain Ye leave the slaves of Turkey's Lord ; Asking for every toil anti pain, Your Liberty the sole reward. And oh ! 'tis sure, if aught avail The groaning world's most fervent pray'r ; Ye will not, must not, cannot fail, Its every wish with you ye bear. Oh ! may success your efforts crown ! Rouse from its lethargy the world ! 'Till from his blood-erected throne Thy Tyrant to the Earth be hurl'd. DRURY-LANE TILEATILE.—We are sorry to state that on account of indisposition Mr. Emus- TON was last night unable to perform the part of Baru Dornion in The Road to Ruin. It was taken at so short a notice by Mr. COOPER, as to excite much surprise at the promptitude and abi lity with which he supported the character. But he has justly acquired hi the public mind a very favourable estimation of his professional merits. TVIEATAICALS AT POPLAII.—For some time past a Theatre has been opened for the amuse ment of the inhabitants of this place, and which which we are informed has been licensed by the Magistracy of that district. The performances on Monday were George Barnwell, Bombastes Furioso, and Don Juan; and on Tuesday Mac beth, Sze. The performers consist of some itine rants from the country, and stage-struck youths from London. WALKING STEWART.—A bust of this ex traordinary man has just been modelled by Mr.J . KENDRICK, whose talents as a sculptor are justly admired. Mr. STEWART possessed an original, acute, and benevolent mind. his doctrines all tended to the promotion of happiness among man kind, and to inculcate what he deemed the prin ciples of eternal truth. Unhappily his style was too gigantic in its nature, though suitable to the comprehensiveness of his conceptions, to be understood by people of an inferior intellectual grasp, who, therefore, considered him as wild, if not insane ; but if his notions were to be conveyed in simple language . they would . have a powerful effect in controuling the passions of mankind, harmonizing their tempers, and recon ciling them to the . course of nature. The model is very like the amiable original and represents him with the expressive animation, which generally marked his countenance when he was delivering those principles which he conceived to be of the utmost importance to the interests of all sensitive beings, as well as of human nature. THE BAMBOO.--The various uses to which that elegant species of reed, called the bamboo is applied by the Chinese, would excite astonishment in an English mechanic. Their Chairs, their tables, screens, bedsteads, and bedding, with many other household moveables, are entirely constructed of this hollow reed. It is used on board ship, for poles, tin sails, for cables, fir rigging, and for caulking. In husbandry, it serves as a material for carts, wheelbarrows, for wheels to raise water, fur fences, for sacks to hold grain, a nd a variety of other purposes. The young shoots furnish an article of food, and the wicks of candles are made of its fibres. It serves to embel. dish the garden of the Prince, and to cover the cottage of the peasant. Indeed, there are few uses to which the ingenuity of the Chinese has not applied the bamboo, either entire, or split into thin laths, or divided into fibres. The fir“ couple of Cols which were carried to Cuyaba, sold for a pound of gold. There was a plague of rats in the settlement, and they were purchased as a speculation, which proved an ex cellent one. The first kittens produced 30 oitavas each ; the next generation were worth 20; the price gradually fell as the inhabitants became stocked with these beautiful and useful creatures. Montenegro presented to the elder Almagro the first cat which was brought to South America, and was rewarded for it with 600 pesos. Early yesterday morning a fire broke out in the attic story of Mrs. Gould's oyster-shop, Bow. street, Covent-Garden. The room was occu pied by an old lady, who had broken her leg a few days previously, and was unable to get out, until by assistance she was rescued from her danger, and the fire was got under without doing much damage beyond destroying the fur niture.—Another fire broke out yesterday morn ing, about six o'clock, in the first floor of No. 6, Little Earl•street, Seven Dials. It was fortu nately got under without communicating to any other part of the building. lio►zniu ATTEMPT AT SUICIDL.-00 Tuesday night, about eight o'clock, a naval Captain, resid ing in George-street, Commercial-road, whose house but a short time ago was on fire, attempted to put a period to his existence by cutting his throat with a razor that he had secreted about his person for the express purpose. About eight o'clock he was sitting comfortably with his wife,and family in the parlour on the ground floor, when his wife perceived a degree of stupor or melancholy apparently come over him, but did not make any observation. Some time after this she retired up stairs, we believe .to put to rest the younger branches of the fa mily, when in the interval, the unfortunate man, bent on self-destruction, inflicted a deep wound in his neck, which leaves him with little hope of a recovery ; on his wife's return she observed him weltering in his blood. Surgical assistance was instantly called, and he was conveyed to the Lon don Hospital, whore he lies in a very dangerous state. Ills distressed wife is inconsolable, and bereft of every hope of his recovery. THE ARMY. The 13th (or Ist Somerset) Regiment of Foot, C;c:wrat E.

Rose, from Bordepuz bound to Rouen, laden with wine, drove on shore near the Start Point last even ing, at ten o'clock, with much water in the hold—one Mall drowned, 25 casks of wine and a few stores saved. • SUICIDE. An Inquest was held on Tuesday evening - be. fore T. STintrioa, Esq. Coroner, at the Belvidere Tavern, Pentonville ' on view of the body of an inter e stin g young wo man named Alary Lock, who hung herself in a lit of derange ment, occasioned by disappointment in love. John Scott, Esq. of No. 16, 'Middleton -terrace, Pentonville, being sworn, stated, that deceased lived with him as a servant on Saturday morning last Mrs. Scott came into the room in great agitation, and witness could just understand that Mary had hung herself in the area ; witness went down as fast as he could, and found her suspended by a rope fastened to a railing, a part of which still remains ; witness instantly cut her down, but she was quite stiff; and witness supposes she had been there all night ; a medical man was sent for, but he said the body was cold, and he could render no assistance. Mary Elizabeth Phillips stated she knew deceased perfectly; she had kept company for some months with a . young man named John ilawess, a carpenter; deceased informed witness she expected to be his wife in a fortnight; saw deceased acci dentally, who said she had heard that he was married to another woman, which he denied, and was very angry with her for be lieving it ; she. seemed very wretched in consequence, and said she certainly regarded him very much; she sighed greatly, and appeared very miserable. Ann Eversley said she knew deceased amid about a week ago she said that she was going to be married to a young man after Christmas. Sarah Hanson said she was intimate with deceased, knew she kept company with a young man, a carpenter, having been out walking with them ; deceased told witness he had promised her marriage about three months ago ; she was very low spirited in consequence of his conduct towards her so long as two months ago, since which time witness has seen very little of deceased. Sarah Lock, sister of deceased, said she had seen her sister and Hawes together. Deceased said to witness, that he wished her to settle, but she put it off; deceased afterwards told wit ness that newts said to her, he had been married a month or six weeks ; he then afterw ards told her he was not married; witness saw her sister on Sunday evening, and thought she looked very dull. This being the whole of the evidence, it was intimated that the key of the area. gate in which the unfortunate woman had put an end to her existence, was missing, and of which no at count could be given. The CORONER, therefore summed up the evidence, and dwelt in very strong terms upon the conduct of Hawes, who had been the occasion of her death; and as the key of the gate was missing, he recommended the parties to apply to the Magistrates at Hatton-garden respecting the recovery of it, for he certainly did consider the man deserving of some pu nishinent. The Jury, accordingly, returned their verdict--" That the deceased hung herself, being at the time in a st ate of t em p u rerY mental dereangment." A reprieve arrived at the County Prison on Sa turday morning (28th ult.) for the two burglars: Lewis and Oliver, who were left for execution at the late Assizes. On the happy intelligence being communicated to these unfortunate men, their feelings were so overcome that they fell on their knees, and remained speechless for some moments. Their conduct while under sentence of death was most exemplary, and they evinced the greatest penitence and contrition. We wish we could say the same of.Hartky (who attempted to assassi nate Capt. Owen, of the Bellerophon), bnt that is not in our power. This miserable being appears lost to every sense of remorse or religious feeling. In vain does the Rev. Chaplain of the prison endea vour to excite in his Mind a proper sense of hisaw ful condition, and cautions him to beware of that rock of infidelity on which so many have foundered ; but, alas ! the desolating ideas of Paine and Car lik, have taken such deep hold of him, that the exhortations of the Rev. Gentleman are rendered of no avail. The warrant for the execution of this wretched man is arrived, and will be carried into effect on Thursday next (this day.)—(Maid stone Journal.)
