the other inevitable causes of war navtng cnsap peered, may we not indulge the hope that this last will be found not more unyielding than its predecessors, especially since we have the impor tant acknowledgment from the war Party them selves, that it had been determined that, against the principles of the Spanish revolution,the French Ministry would not make war! Besides, the French Ultras, in their precipitation, do not seem to reflect with proper coolness and deliberation on the attitude and dispositions of England. We can now declare, with a confidence which we should not previously hare been warranted to assume, that the British Government does not at present anticipate that there will be war between France and Spain,—that this Government has .exerted its influence to prevent a war,—and, that it will probably leave no means untried to deter France from an enterprise which is not only pregnant with peril, but is unjust in itself.---There ma y be a war, It is true ; but it is at present exceedingly improbable. The affair of the violation of ter ritory is really too ridiculous to require further exposure; and as for the vague threats held out in the Circular of the three Powers, tan. guage equally strong, and with the exception of the withdrawal of the Ambassadors, of the same import, and almost in the same terms, was ad- dressed to the Spanish Ambassador at St. Peters'.

SUN OFFICE, One o'Clock.—The following is an Extract from a private Letter received from Paris this morning : " An extraordinary Courier has arrived from Madrid, which capital he left on the 7th instant. At the time of his departure the Revolutionists were in a state of frantic desperation ; the people were in great commotion ; and in the Clubs the most violent speeches were made. Strong symptoms of discontent were also manifested, and every thing announced the approach of a great catastrophe. The Foreign Ministers were only waiting for the French Minister, to quit Madrid immediately." We cannot answer for the truth of the state ments in the preceding extract. if authentic to their full extent, they may be regarded as favour able to peace, since the alleged distraction in the capital of Spain would compel the Spanish Go. vernment to make such concessions as would satisfy France.---While we ure adverse to the project of invading Spain, we shall not be sorry if the Spaniards themselves should effect Some modification of their Constitution. ERIOiN ENTERPRIZE.—A tie* field for cort►mercial adventure has been opened between Missouri and the Empire of Mexico. Colonel COOPER has recently returned to St. Louis from n successful commercial expedition to Santa Fe. le drove three loaded waggOns from Boon's Uck into the tOwn . of Santa Fe, for the contents of which, in return, he brought back specie and some hundred males. The road is represented to be good, the country being open and level, and abounding with grass for horses ! — The people of Santa Fe expressed a great desire for a commercial intercourse with Missouri. It would be a singular event if the Western States, who have suffered so severely from the scarcity of specie, whilst those of the East possessed com paratively plenty, shOuld now have it in their power to supply the latter with the precimis metals. BRIUILTON, s.—The KiNG, we have the happiness to state, continues to improve in health. The answer to inquiries at the Palace this day, -without variation, has been, " His itIAJEsTY is Heller." --Among the very many of Nobility who left their Signatures at the Palace this morning, Mr. JustiCe BAYLEY was included. • Lord FRANCIS CONYNODAI.--It has been -stated as an extraordinary circumstance that this young Nobleman has been appointed Under Se. cretay of State for Foreign Affairs, The truth, however, is that young persons have for many years been selected for that office. It was occu pied by Sir FRANCIS VINCENT, and by the present LORD LIVERPOOL, both in early life, as prepara tory to political education. We shoUld regret that in the present instance it was attended by the removal of so respecsable and intelligent a ,gentleman as Mr. 13AchmonsE, if it were not un -derstood that he proceeds to India. • The wealthy members of the Jewish persuasion have, for more than a century, been in the prac tice of making their children 'C Wards of the , /Court of Chancery." A reference to the Ac peuntant General's office will chew some very heavy old accounts of this nature. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, we are happy to learn, 13 pearly recovered from his late Indisposition. THE THEATRES: COVENT•GAADEN:—TiIe continued attraction of The School for Scandal is a proof that though the Public in general may too often, and too justly, be censured for bad taste, yet that right principles of judgment lurk in the public mind, and may be . drawn into action on pro per occasions. This admirable _Comedy, which rears its) head far above_ all contemporary pro. ductions, drew a large audience last night. As we recently noticed its representation, we have now' chiefly to observe, that MISS CHES. TER, who was prevented from appeariug in the part of Lady Teazle on the late occasion, as sumed that character last night. Her person and manner are well calculated to render justice to the part in point of exterior graces, and the spirit and humour with which ,she supported it were fully correspondent. There was a playful . ele- , gance in the whole which gave additional anima tion to the piece itself ; nor was she less effec tive in the unaffected sensibility and contrite de jection which marked the scene in which she is discovered in her visit to the insidious Joseph Surface. We have attended many representa tions of Lady Teazle, and must give a very fa vourable testimony to the performance of last night ; and the more so, as it was the first ap pearance of this pleasing actress in the character. YATESi in Moses, made an allusion to the Colum bian loan, which excited much laughter. 11 the play is always as well spppoited as it was on this occasion, by FAWCETT'S Sir Oliver FA RREN'S Sir Peter, D BLANCHAR 'S Crabtree, J ONES'S Sir Benjamin, and Mr. C. KENBLEIN Charles, it can not fail to be attractive. We conceive that the conclusion is improperly retarded by the attempt to fix on Charles the accusation of matrimonial overtures towards Lady Sneernell. The charge was ridiculous as well as hopeless, notwithstand ing the clandestine industry of Mr. Snake, whose character appears too disgustingly absurd in the last scene. So well satisfied were the audience with Mr. C. KEMBI.E in Char/es, and so popular is he become as an actor, that he was received .with a universal round of applause when be came forward to announce the future performances. uew petite Comedy, en. titled Auusla, or the Blind Girl, was repeated last night, and not unsuccessfully. It, as we before observed, excites benevolent feelings, and is not wholly devoid of humorous perplexities.— We are of opinion that Mrs. -W. WEST, in the heroine, should wear a slight green bandage over her eyes, for while they are closed, as at pre - - seta, her face exhibits too lethal an appearance. It would also excite more sympathy, as an ob- ViOus sign of the deprivation of sight. Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated December 12, 182/ :---" The vess e l b oug h t f or the Republic o f Colombia, at 153,000 dollars, has arrived out safe, and is now cruising under Colombian colours. Such a vessel was wanting to reduce Porto Cabello by sea, and the Govern ment has promptly complied with the agreement for its purchase. By a vessel arrived this day from La Guayra, I learn that two sloops of war had arrived there with specie from England, and of that specie 50,000 dollars were applied in parl payment for the ship in question." MR. ELLISTON.—It is with pleasure we state that this Gentleman, 'who is one of the very best 'comic props of the British Stage, is so much re covered that he will soon be able to exert him» self with his usual spirit and humour. Ma. Gteroan.--W e repeat that there is no truth in the revived report that this Gentleman is about to relinquish the conduct of . The Quar terly Review, and we add, for the satisfaction of the . Publici that his health is so much restored as to warrant the hope that he will long be able to preside over a work which so powerfully sup ports the best interests of the country. The recent work on the present state of the affairs of this country has incorrectly been attri buted to Mr. TIIOMAX P. COURTNEY. It if, w e are assured, the production of Mr. HOLT, a Bar rister, who not long shier published an admirable treatise on the Law of Shipping. Lieutenant FOLLIOTT, who had the misfortune to be thrown from the top of a coach on his way to Ireland, and in consequence to suffer the atn• putation of one of his hands, is a near relation of W. H. FOLLIOTT, Esq, the spirited citizen of Chester, who never comes forward but for the purpose of promoting. some public good, or re moving some public evil. CANOYA.—In the principal towns of Italy, CANOVA is honoured as he merits. At Rome a splendid funeral service is preparing to honour thii illustrious artist. It will take place at the Church of the Apostles, where the first work from which he acquired reputation is deposited. I t is the tomb of one of the most learned, most virtuous, greatest of the Sovereign Pontiffs of which the chair of St. Peter can boast. It will be easily guessed that we mean Ganganelli, the immortal CLEMENT XIV . — (Paris Paper.) DUEL PREVENTED.—A meeting was appointed to take 'place early, yesterday morning in the fields at the back of the Red House, Battersea, between Mr. M—N and Mr. A —a, City Gentle men, but information having been received on the preceding evening Mr. M.'s house was watched. On his way to the intended spot for the duel, be was apprised of some constables being in attend. ance on the ground, and the affair terminated for that time. GOVERNOR OF THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION. —Yesterday the Magistrates of Middlesex as sembled at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell- Green, to elect a fit person to fill the °nice of Governor of Coldbath-fields Prison, vacant by the death of, the late Mr. Atkins.

They King thinking highly of the obligation, asked what rerompence he should make him ? Mr: Rodney replied, " Sire, I am no courtier, and if I were, you have no doubt sufficient claims on me; the only favour, therefore, that I have to ask is, that you and the l)nke of Chanties will stand godfathers to my son, who is just born."

John Bryant, of Aiulli nahone, he being charged on oath of Mary Burke, spinster, with being the principal of a party who forcibly and against her consent car ried her.away from the house of James Ryan, of Ballyvadly, farmer, with intent to marry her, as she heard. The girl above mentioned is the daughter of a respectable farmer. On her having been taken off, word was immediately dispatched to Killaghy Castle, and such were the prompt exertions of Mr. Despard and his son, in . turning ont the military at a late hour, and such the panic struck into the misguided wretches who had committed this offence, that they were obliged to leave their victim, without any opportunity of insult, at a farmer's house, about a mile from the dwelling. from w h ence she was taken, where every comfort was afforded her till her deliverers arrived. A most respectable Meeting of persons con ' nected with trade in this place, occurred on Friday last, for the purpose of forming a Society of Tradesmen in the town and county, to oppose and prosecute fraudulent insolvent debtors: The Chairman, Mr. Henry Marshall, having declared the purpose for which the Meeting had been called, stated the propriety and necessity of forming such Society. Upon the motion of William Searle, Esq, seconded by Mr. Turner, certain rules for the government of the society were read and confirmed. Mr. C. Edwards addressed the meeting; and in the course of his remarks, stated two cases of, fraud : Th e fi rst related to a bill - b ro k er, who I had debts against his estate amounting to more than 14,0004 where th e cre di tors d id not receive one farthing dividend ; the other case referred to a merchant, who also owed his creditors more than 14,0001., and who paid into Court for the benefit of those to whom he was indebted the sum of 31.05. 3d. _l Mr. Edwards stated, that within two years of the passing of the Act, upwards of 15,000 persons had take the benefit of it. Mr. Randall made some very judici ' Gus remarks,she w ing the present ex pence ton credi. tor of exposing a debtor ; the propriety of forming the society, which met with his hearty concur rence, "and requested to be a subscriber. Several other gentlemen briefly commented upon the iniquity of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, and thereby chewed the propriety of forming an tosociation.--(Cambridge Chronicle ) jan. 184 P 0 E T Y.

Hall, of the public 'office, Union Hall, received a warrant specially directed to him, for the apprehension of the above noted character, and another person not yet in custody, for a burglary committed o n th e p rem i ses of Henry Sewell, Esq. at Blechingly, in Surrey, on t h e 17th December. Mr. Sewell on the above evening received information that a cart and horse had been seen ira a chalk pit on a stmaill corn men, near his house. Mr. S.. paid no attention to this telligence, imagining that the can belonged probably to some trampers. However, about twelve o'clock at night, he was awoke by the noble of p ersons on the premises, as if endeavouring to break open a door; he got up and took , his ,pistols, which he recollected were out of order ; he then returned to his room and loaded his gun, which he fired on getting into the garden, when be heard some persons. run off. On proceeding tow ar d s t h e common, he found a cart, containing five hundred weight of lead, which bad been stolen from his premises. Mr. Sewell sent for Brown, a constable, at Alesterham, who, could gain no trace of the robbers. The Rev. Mr. Kendrick, a Altagiamite of that dis trict, issued his warrant to Hall, and he dispatched 'Pople and Rice, two Union-ball officers, in pursuit of them. These Mb.' cers for the last fortnight have been active .itt their endeavours" to gain information respecting Field ant his accomplices ; and on Tuesday, Rice succeeded in apprehending the former, at lilt lodgings, Sir -street, Lambeth. The officer took his prisoner to. Blecitiogly, there to be iden tified, which the ostler of an inn at Afesteeliatrewas able to do the prisoner and his companion having Sl e pt at hi s master ' s beuse the night preceding the tobbery. These burglars had gone down to Blechingly for the purpose of robbing the church-yard, but bting disappointed in that ob. ject, committed the robbery in question. • Field was fully committed to take his trial at the next Sur. re y Assizes. Great praise is due to the officers for their zeal in this bu siness. THE AVEATHER.---The weather has much abated la seve rity.

TRISECTION OF THE SLIERIDAN, Principal of the Academy, 68, Stephen-street, Dublin, has invented a mathematical instru ment, by means of which this problem, hitherto considered impossible, is solved , with the greatest facility ; it will trisect any assigned arch, involving the consideration of no higher curve than the circle, with one chord and t diameter. This instrument has been submitted to the Royal Irish Academy, who have returned Mr. SHERIDAN thanks , by their Librarian, the ltev. Dr. ROE, for the invention. The instru ment may be seen any day at Mr. SHERIDAN'S.
