chief transactions- are its Colombia, and New Spanish Bonds, which are rather heavy owing to the Colombian Ambassador having arrived without bringing the ratification of the above Loan.—Colombian Bonds are getting up. The Colistisbian Charge d'Affaires is this moment with the Contractors. Colombia 67} to 68. Our extracts from the Continental Journals, under the head " Foreign Intelligence," are inte resting. The article on the " Policy of the Holy Alliance," unfolds the views of the Powers con federated under that title, in a manner that must excite the serious attention of the Public. Since we wrote the above, we have received the contents of the Paris Papers of Thursday last, by EXPRESS. ( From the Quogidienne, Jan. 2. ) " PARIS, JAN. 2.—The Prince d'Esterkazy, Austrian Ambassador to England, has arrived here. " The Spanish General Valero has arrived at Toulouse. " They write from St. Girons, c2sth December, that two aid-de-camps of the Baron d'Eroles and a superior officer have been there for several days, and have taken a lodging for the General, who is gone to Sok for his family ; he will pass the winter here. The situation of our town gives the means of a quick correspondence with the Valley of Aran, the theatre of the war. " FRONTIERS OF SPAIN. " ENVIRONS OF PUYCERDA, DEC. 20.—1 t is anounced that Paul Moralles, who commands a a corps of 5 or 600 men, entered the town of Toura, after having forced two hundred militia to abandon it, and take refuge in the Castle.— It is also stated that Moralles having learned at Calaf that a considerable convoy left Barcelona, for the troops stationed before Seu, Went in search of it, but learned that it had already fallen into the hands of the Royalists.— Accounts from the environs of Seu, of the 19th, state that Romagosa, at the head of a great party Of the garrison, approached the town, and pene trated as far as the Portal d'Espagne. 46 PERPIGNAN, DEC. e4.—The great fall of snow has been succeeded by a quantity of rain, which has made the roads impassable, and pre. vented the couriers from proceeding on their journey. Romanillo is here. General Fleyres has set off for Toulouse. " Letters from the frontiers assure us, that more than 3000 Royalists have collected at Conque du Tremp. They state from Bayonne that a great number of the soldiers of the Army of the Faith are continually passing that town, who are going to join the army of O'llonnel. Artillery is arriving here, although we have the report of Peace." Lisbon Papers of the 18th ult. reached us this morning ; they announce the appointment of the Regency of Brazil, consisting of five Members. The Archbishop of BRA:ZIL is President. Their residence is to be fixed at Bahia, and all the provinces of Brazil are to be subject to them, except those of Para and Maranham. On the 16th there was a long debate on recruiting the army. The Militia are to be enlisted into the troops of the line.—The Piedmon tese Gazette, of the 21th ult. states, on the au thority of accounts from Ancona of the 16th, that Lord STUANGI ORD has been obliged to put into that port by bad weather. It adds, that his Lordship is to demand of the Porte free passage of tho Dardanelles for the vessels of every recog nized Power. FROM CUltAcOA.—By the arrival of the brig Hippomenes from Curogoa, we have received The Courant of that place to the 9th Inclusive. The sloop of war llercules, of 500 tons, and 9.2 Z2-pounders, Commodore Daniels, and the private armed brig Vencedon," both from New York, had arrived at Laguira iu fifteen days passage, with 500 men on board, and were immediately taken up by the Columbian Government. — These vessels, after hoisting the Republic flag, proceeded, on the 28th October, .in quest of the Spanish frigate Ligera, and were descried on the Bth off Laguira, cruizing against the Spaniards in the Gilph of Maracaibo. Orders have been re ceived from Begota not to send any more troops out, as a sufficient force was preparing to march for Cundinamana and Carthagena to dislodge Morales, who, notwithstanding the late report of his having returned to Porto Cavello was in possession of 'Maracaibo. On the 12th October the Colombians were making gre‘at preparations to attack him by sea and land, seven thousand men were ready to march. We this day lay before our Readers the whole 1 )f the Message of the American President on the opening of Congress, of which we published 4 tl abstract yesterday. We do not think that it is necessary to enter into lin examination of this document. It is so perspicuous in itself, as to require no explanations. We shall 'offer only one remark, therefore, respecting it; and that is, that Mr. MoNRoE does not seem to be in• fected with the visionary theories of the advocates of free trade, from which so much danger was lately apprehended to the vital interests of Great Britain. M. MONROE, in admitting the abstract truth of those theories, takes care to guard against particular application in practice, and even sug gests the policy of increasing the duties payable on the importation of foreign productions into the United States. On Thursday night Mr. ROBINSON, the King's Messenger, arrived in Downing-street, with dis patches from Sir WILLIAM A'COURT, our Minister at Madrid. It appears from the following extract of a let ter from Kingston, Jamaica, dated the 18th of November, that a Jamaica ship, bound to Lon don, has been convoyed from the naval ren dezvous at Jamaica by an American ship of wur : —" The John Esdaile, bound to London, does not sail until the 21st inst. And goes to-leeward, under the protection of the United State's schooner of war Shark, no\v lying at Port Royal, the Captain of which has promised to see the John Esdaile through the Gulf." _ A frigate is ordered to carry out Lord Wit. LIAM BENTINCR immediately to St. Andero, or some port in the Bay, on a special mission to Madrid. _ ROYAL NAVY.—The following Officers are appointed to the Prince Regent, of 130 guns, fitting at Chatham, as guard ship at that port, and for the flab of 'Vice-Admiral Sir Benja min Hallowell I—Lieutenants Pierce (Ist), Aldridge, 31erre dith, Ratusden, Barlow, and Charles Hallowell, Flag-Lieu tenant ; Mr. Robertson, Surgeon ; Mr. Purdo, Master ; Mr. John M'Arthur, Purser ; Rev. John Kirby, Chaplain. The Officers appointed to the Gloucester, 74, Sir Edward Owen, are—Lieutenants Maclean, Harrison, Evans, James O'Brien, and DanFersfield ; Mr. Wilson,. Surgeon ; Mr. Vidall, Purser. —Circuit:li Gazette, Jan. 3.) A few days since, by an unanimous vote in Common Hall, NATHANIEL ATCIJESON, Esq., was chosen an Honorary Freeman of the ancient bo rough of Leicester. DvEr..—A meeting took place on Thursday morning at Finchley Common, between Captain G—N—T and a Mr. in consequence of some expressions made use of by the latter rela tive to the sale of a pony, purchased by the Cap tain for a Lady of Mr. M.'s servant, which was returned unsound. The parties fired twice, and in the second Mr. M. was shot in the shoulder, but the ball was extracted on the ground by a surgeon in attendance, and the patient was en abled to reach Holloway, and is said not to be in danger. MLLANCHOLY DEAT' OF MR. BOUCHIER SMITH.--The Christmas festivities at Crome, the seat of the Eurl of COVENTRY, have abruptly ter minated in consequence of an event equally awful and afflicting. JOSEPH BOUCIIIEIt SMITH, Esq. who was on a visit at Crome, and who on Satur day night, Dec. 28, retired to rest apparently in good health, was attacked, at half-past eight o'clock on Sunday morning, by spasms in his chest, which occasioned his death in about forty minutes. The deep concern of Lord COVENTRY and -his family may be readily imagined, as well as the grief of the other friends and surviving relatives of the deceaied. Mr. BOUCHIER Smyrn's polished manners and extreme good nature, united as they were to a powerful intellect, great command of language, and infinite variety of knowledge, peculiarly qualified him to shine in the social intercourse of private life. On New Year's Day Mr. YOUNG, the Actor, visited the Royal Menagerie, Exeter 'Change, in company with a gentleman ; soon after leaving the place one of the men (a German) picked up a ten pound note in the room, folded up in paper, and written upon, " For the Theatrical Fund." There were two Ladies in the room at the time, but, from the superscription on it, it was pre sumed to be the property of the above Gentle man. The man waited upon Mr. YOUNG, last night, at the Theatre, to inquire if he had lost any thing ; upon which Mr. Y. exclaimed, Why, yes ! I have lost a ten pound note—l know not where, nor do I know the number. The man presented the note to him, informing him where he had picked it up. Mr. Y. told him he was an honest fellow, and presented him with a sovereign. On. Friday last, the 27th ult. n gentleman of this city shot a most singular and beautiful young cock pheasant. On the head are horns resembling those of the horned owl, between which is a complete mass of gold, and the plumage alto gether is exceedingly fine.—( Worcester Journal.) SUICIDE.—On Friday. last (27th ult.) an in quest was taken at Stragglethorpe, before GEORGE WUITE ) Gent., Coroner, on the body of Hannah Rowbottam (a servant of Mr. Chambers, of that place), who had hanged herself.—lt appeared in evidence that the deceased, having risen at her usual time on the preceding morning, went to the stable, and culled one of the men servants to come in and light the tire and get the breakfast ready ; and on her return into the house she met another of the servants, who asked her for a light, when she told him she had not a light, but he might get one in the stable.—On two of the men 'coming into the house in a few minutes afterwards, one of them took a candle, and went up stairs, where he found the unhappy young woman hanging by a silk handkerchief to a baulk of the chamber;, he immediately cut her down, and although the witnesses thought not more than five miVutes had elapsed from the time they spoke to her, all life was extinct. The Jury, after mature delibera tion, returned a verdict offelo de se. The body was accordingly buried in a cross road leading from Stragglethorpe to Broughton, and from Beckinghant to Leadenham, with a stake driven through it according to la w.—(6'lconfordllercury.) There were 1,268 individuals ccmmlitted from Marlborough-street Office, for felonies, misde meanors, and assaults, in 1821 ; and in 1822 there has been an increase of 235, the total num being 1 ) 503, who have been committed for simi lar offences from the same' office. BRIGHTON, JAN'. 2. The Royal dinner-party received an increase to-diy . by the arrival, at the Palace, of the Earl and Countess of Harcourt and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Stanhope. No invitations have been issued to enlarge the Evening party.—The Marquis and 3larchioness of Cholmondeley and Lord Henry Cholmondeley return to town to-morrow.—The Duke and Duchess of Clarence are expected to arrive at the Pavilion on• Saturday. , coot. ) r, :,,,,,,7: , ,t1 .:,,i' ~.,•:• "••• ' ...s.'„; , . e' , . .•;-":••.;,,,..: s , cr•; a ... s.lti -.,•;- ~,,, t. , i, , , ,,, .

TIIE NEWLY lIIPORTEDAMERICAX 1101111ES,--The public were informed of ,the speed of two American trotters, the property of Mr. Aldridge, some months ago, and it seems two others, lately came over , are superior in speed, and equa l to 17 miles i n one h our. They are the property of a gentle man of the name of Beningborough, and one of them was matched to do eight miles in half an hour on the Cambridge road, on Thursday, and to carry 11 stone. The horse is an iron gray, rat-tailed, and 10 hands high. The match was for 100 sovereigns, at a week's notice, and the horse di.l the first mile In three minutes thirty seconds; the second, three minutes twenty nine; third, three minutes twenty-six; fourth, three minutes , thirty-six ; fifth, three min u t es thirty-two; sixth, thr ee t pi nutes fifty ; seventh three minutes forty ; and eighth l three minutes fifty-two : making in the whol e twenty-eight minutes and fifty seenufls.

Ow forth I draw thee, glittering blade, Thy scabbard thus I cast away And we shall pass on undismay'd, Though foes Should thicken like a shade Around our path, on battle day I Too long in scabbard hut thou lain Unus'd, amid oppression's glooin : When thraldom round us wove her chain... When suffering mercy su'd in vain ; And hope was none—save in the tomb ! Now forth, my sword ! oh! better far To fight, to fall, in Freedom's cause, Than crouch before oppression's car, And, sickening at the thought of war, With trembling, brook a tyrant's laws Too long beneath our native skies Hath tyranny her flag unroll'd ; " Forth, forth !" the voice of Nature cries, " And o'er the necks of foernen rise, " As did your patriot sires of old !" The warrior's hand bath never toil'd In nobler cause than our's before ; Nor shall our patriot's hopes be foil'd, For prosp`rous fate bath ever smil'd On such, as dar'd themselves restore. 'Tis not in foreign hearts and hands To plead our cause, and fight our fields ; Our hope is in our native brands, 'Tls Duty's iron voice commands, And curs'd be ev'ry son that yields ! Shades of the Helots, round us rise, Point out our steps in glory's path Point to our islands—seas—and skies Point to our Greece, and bid us rise Above the abject fear of death! There is a voice which cheers ax on— Life dragg'd in chains is worthless dross ; Say, shall we turn from danger's frown ? • • No ! with the Turkish Crescent down ! Exalt on high the blessed cross ! On, on, to danger—let us on ; And oh ! my Country ! if we be By Tyranny's vaunting hosts ogerthrown, Yet honour falls to us alone, Who, spurning fetters, dar'd bo free !

On —on, my blade, nor let us turn, Though blood rain round in purple showirs ; May every heart for glory bum At chains and flight alike we spurn ; Let Freedom or the Grave be ours ! ( Math:rood': Magazine.) INTEItIOR OF .r}rE Hoirsr or Loans.--We have been favoured with a sight' of . this very curious specimen of the graphic art, in which we perceive are introduced upwards of one hundred and forty portraits of the most distinguished characters iii this country ; for we observe, that below the bar, in the place ,allotted for strangers, are the portraits of Sit El UMPHItY DAVY, Sir WALTER SCOTT, Mr. SOUTHEY, Mr. SOAVE, Mr. CllAll'rßY, Mr. WILKIE, Dr. JENtVER, Mr. Humor, the musical cornposer, and in short most of the men of eminence of the preaent day. The Artist, we find, has been 4nployed without the least intermission for the last two years on this veryinteresting plate, and we are sure the admirers of the arts will be gratified to hear that it is ap proaching very near towards completion. The identity of the Portraits is equal to any thing we have seen, when exe cuted upon a much larger scale ; and when we recollect that the print of the death of Lord CIIATIIAII in the House of Lords (which has only one-third of the number o:portraits) was upwards of twenty years iri the hands of the Engraver, we cannot but approie and admire the idea of the proprie:. for of this undertaking, in having it engraved on a scale, which would ensure its completion in a reasonable time, and before one half of the Members of the House of Lords who compose 'it, had gone to the House appointed for' all living (which was the case with those In the engraving of the death of Lord CRATUAII), and especially as we can with equal facility recognise the resemblances. This work reflects great credit on that indefatigable promoter of the arts, Mr . itOWYER, its projector, as having been the medium of bringing forward whatlwe conceive to be one of the, greatest curiosities and most extraordinary productions which has ever appeared of the graphic art, as well as of accomplishing, in a reasonable time, a work which cannot but be deemed a most important and in teresting one to the country at large..—(Morning Chronicle.) A FIGHTING PARSON AT THE BATTLE OF THE NILE.--A jolly soul of a parson, on board one of the leading ships at the Nile, persisted in walking the quarter. deck after the battle commenced. Ile was admonished by the captain to retire down to the cockpit as a place of safety —he disregarded the admonition, and continued to witness the awful scene; but beint in the way of the guns, the captain peremptorily ordered him to go below—lie obeyed, and mut tered, If I can't fight, I can do something else." I,'re gently after he appeared on the main -deck, with a huge bot tle of grog under his arm, wilich he liberally served out to the fatigued tars, exclaiming frequently, "if my p ro f ess i on forbids me from fi ghting, it does not prevent me from support ing those whose duty it is to do sa."—( 41faric Lantern.) SuEnnonsE, JAN. 1.-A saddler named Green residing at Stalbridge, was. on Saturday morni ng l as t found'suspend ed in a hayloft quite dead. He was a short time previously conversing with a man in the stable underneath, when, ob. serving the crib empty, he said he would go up in the loft 'and throw down some hay. His long absence induced the man below to seek for him. Some losses in trade are sup. posed to have weighed heavily on Green's mind, and drove him to the desperate act above mentioned. He has left a widow and two children in a state of poverty and wretchedness. THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE.--Uninviting as the weather is at present, the Muse of SHAIESPEARE hat still a power of attraction which is honourable to public taste. The tragedy of Macbeth was represented last night at this Theatre, an as Mr. KEAN was out of.town the hero of the loiece was assigned to Mr. YOUNG. But the true policy of the Ma nagement would be to let these popular actors appear alternately in the same characters. There would then he a fair test of their respective merits, and it would be a stimulus to their reci procal exertions. Mr. JOHN KEMBLE was not only decidedly the best representative of Mac.- beth within our remembrance, but far above all competitors. Mr. YOUNG, therefore, does wisely in following his outline, and properly inherits a great portion of his reputation in the part. It is but just to add that he displayed original spirit in several passages, and gave a judicious portrait of the whole. Mrs. W. WEST, who is'better calcu lated for the pathetic than the heroic, so justly. however conceives the part of Lady Macbeth as to render it by no means unimpressive. Mr. COOPER'S Macdziff exceeds the ordinary rate of merit in that character. Cormr-GAanex.—The well merited attrac tion of the new Pantomime, Harlequin and the Ogress, which was well attended last night, has enabled this Theatre to pull up with veat success. MS STEPHENS and Mr. HORN, who have been engaged for a limited number of nights by Mr. HARRIS, are to appear at the New Theatre this evening, as Polly and Captain Macheath s in The Beggar's Opera.—( Dublin Morning Post.)
