SOLEAI QUIS D.ICEIZEFdLSUM 4C7DR4T LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1/33. By the latest accounts from St. Petersburgh, It '"n3 that the relations between that Court a id the Dutch Government are becoming more ~lncelyunited ; and that, from re - cent indica tions, there is every reason to believe, that early in the Spring, it will be unequivocally seen, that the two Governments are committed to each Other to aid and support FERDINAND the Seventh iii his endeavours to regain possession of Spanish South America. The Russians, it is said, will avail themselves of the advantages. they have de rived 'under the secret articles of their last `Treaty with Holland, and that their ships of war will he entitled to enter, refit; and rema in in the Dutch portswhenever they shall see oc- ca ;ion. There has been, since the postponement of the trial of pel:sons accused of the murder of Mr. WE 'RE, a good deal of controversy in some of t he Papers, on the comparative advantage or in ' jury arising to the administration of justice from t he publication" of evidence take') preparatory to trial,—one party contending that the ut most possible publicity ought to be given to ail the ex parte statements for or against per "ls doomed to undergo the ordeal of a % judi cialinvestigation,—and the other deprecating eve rY thing which can in any way or in the test degree tend • to prepossess the minds of Juries, before the submission to them of evidence upon th e trials. Both parties to this contro versy, as is generally the case when men run into extremes, are probably in the wrong, and "idler of them seems to have very acca . ' a ‘elY distinguished the real source of the pre judice which has so often, and with so much j u stice,been complained of. The mere publication of e vidence, before a Magistrate or a Coroner, if given entire, and without remark of any kind, on t he part of the Reporters, might, perhaps, be generally serviceable to the ultimate elucidation of truth, and therefore favourable to justice, )4pre j whi • l udice could rarely result to the accus ed, and • that from the very circumstance that it is kn °‘lrn that all preliminary investigations are generally exparte, and that it is therefore neces •sary to hold the mind in suspense for the formation of an ultimate judgment until the day of trial. But we are sorry to acknowledge that the daily prac tice of the Press is to go far beyond the publica tion of the evidence, and we hesitate not to say, that the mischief which is thus effected by it ought to be severely punished. Nothing is more common than for the Reporter to express the impression which has been produced upon himself, by the preliminary evidence, and even by the appearance and behaviour of the prisoner, and by the hearsay gossiping statements which are commonly in circulation in the scene of the examination s —and so to embody his re presentation of his own impressions and observa tions with the judicial substance of the case, as to succeed effectually in communicating his pre judiced feelings to his readers. CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 85k, at which price they remain up to this hour with little or nothing doing, owing to there being . no information of import ance from the Continent.—Several Expresses have arrived this morning from Paris with Fri day's prices—Rentes, 91f. 45c.—Spanish Bonds, 29 to 292. Although the Spanish Bonds have fallen 3 per Cent. at Paris, that circumstance has not had much effect on our Spanish Market, as it is more attributed to private speculation in Paris than to any political news. It is reported that three New Lists are form ing in the French capital for the New Spanish Loan.—Besides the departure of N. M. ROTHS CHILD, Esq. l. we understand two other monied parties have also set off for Paris. FOREIGN IVlAttitrr.—Spanish Bonds opened this morning at 28H, 27i, 28 to 28k, with some business, but to no great extent. In all other Foreign Securities little doing. Philadelphia Papers are arrived to the 9.lst November, but do not contain an article worth extracting. BAYONNE, DEC. 4.—The necessity of intimi dating the turbulent and ill-disposed at Madrid, and of deterring them from further excesses against the French troops of the Army of Occupation, by inspiring them with a salutary terror, has induced the severe and prompt punishment of the authors or accomplices of the tumult of the 26th of last month. Seventeen of the persons concerned—not in the plot, for it was not one, but in the riot—have been shot. It is to be hoped that t hi s m ilitary execution will have the effect of preventing siniiier occurrences in future. Madrid is tranquil, but gloomy. The troubles in Galicia become more serious ; bands multiply in all quarters, and Corunna is constantly on the alert, in apprehen sion of some blow being intended against it, against which it cannot take all the precautions that might be wished, be cause it cannot tell from what side an enemy may come. The situation of the French in that province and the Asturias, as well as the frontier provinces, is very delicate. Travellers are not safe, since they are stopped on the very banks Of the Bidassoa, and strong escorts will. be henceforth necessary. It is now said that the Empecinaclo hasbeen restored to liberty, but most people think he has never been taken, as it seems very unlikely that a Chief, who has shown himself so formidable, would now be released, if he was once taken. There is reason to believe that the light cavalry, which was to return to France, will remain in Spain—at least it has received orders motto con• tinue its march. The streets of Cadiz are said to be very un safe after dark. The following is an extract from a letter which we have received from an Officer employed in protecting the British commercial interests, round Cape Horn : " CALLA°, At/G. 21, 1823.—The Spanish forces retired from Lima on the night of the Ifith of July, after having been in possession one month. During their stay, there were not any excesses committed; neither did they confiscate one-half the property that they might; as far as the British merchants are concerned, they can have no great reason to complain. The last accounts received of the movements of the Spaniards, state them to be going to the southward along the coast; and that the Patriot forces were marching upon Arequipa. Up to to day, no battle has been fought; and it is thought that pos session of Arequipa will be got by the Peruvians without any great difficulty. They have in the field about 8,500 men, com manded by Generals Sucre, Santa Cruz, and Miller: This lat ter officer commands the advanced guard, and is thought to possess more military talent than all the Generals of Peru, and they are not a few. The Spanish forces are nearly the same in point of numbers, but exceed in their cavalry. It is therefore hard to conjecture on which side victory will declare; but the fate of this country certainly depends on the first general action that is fought. If the Spaniards gain it, Peru will be saved tP Spain for some time, as these people know not which w a y t o turn for the want of money ; and what Increases their difficul tie is, they are divided among themselves, as they haire now two Presidents and two Houses of Congress— the one at Ulna, under General Torre Tagle t the other at Truxillo, under Rive Aguero, who is said to be at the head of 2,000 men. He has been declared a traitor and rebel by the President of till Con gress at Lima; but unhappily for this old man, he is not at the head of 2,000 men, therefore Rita Aguero need not g i ve him self much trouble about what he is declared by an impotent old man, as long as he has an armed force at his command. It is much to be regretted that Spain does not at once acknowledge the Independence of these States, or send out a reinforcement to their army in Peru, as that is the only portion of this quar ter of the globe they have any chance of retaining us a colony, and not even that for a g reat len g th of time. Thn Fly joined us on the 29th, from Lngland, and Captain Martin took the command. The ex-Director ofChilit_General O'Higgins, and f a mily, carnepassengers in her from Valparaiso. Jr is thought a political explosion is on th e e v e of taking place in Chili, as the Director, General Trajall e, is ver y unpopvjar. The fly sailed on Sunday last to rel ieve the Blossom, C,aptain M'Lean, which ship will sail from this place for Englar4 about the Aurora, the 20th November. Lieutenant Ma nsfield is appointed to vice Martin, promoted. The nnly foreign ships of war on this side Cape Horn, are, the American Franklin 44, and Dolphin schooner. We expect the Tartar, from Rio, to relieve the Aurora."—( Hamm/tire Telegraph.j Rumouns.—lt is now positively stated that Sir ROBERT GIFFORD will be immediately sworn in Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and that he is to be elevated to the Peerage, with an assurance that be is to succeed the pre sent LORD CIIANCELf,OR. That Sir R. GRAHAM is to he the Chief Baron ; and that Master COURTNEY is to be appointed the Junior Puisno Baron, with a promise that he is to succeed Sir It. GRAWAM. Mr. WETLIARELL is to be the new Solicitor-General. Mr. Secretary CANNIzto is at present confined to his house, at Gloucester Lodge, by an attack of gout, from which we understand that the Right lion. Gentleman has been suffering for se veral days past. The celebrated and eloquent Member of the Spanish Cortes, /kn01J:3,1 , 1:5, has, we understand, arrived in this City from Cork, where he landed a short time since. iiis arrival is not generally k n own, or, we doubt not, he would receive that public attention to which his patriotic services entitle him. - -( Correspondent, . 11) COAST DUTY ON COALS. FOR THE SUN. Mn.Enrron—lf this partial and impolitic tax is repealed, Coals may be purchased at the Out- Ports at very moderate prices; to chew which, the following table is submitted to your Readers : Per Chaldron, Winchester AVERAGE FnEre. iiT Measure. from Newcastle or Sun- To London, is -12 k.

So that the best NEWCASTLE Coals may be im ported at any of the ports between Dover and Portsmouth at 31s. per chaldron, Winchester measure; and the inferior Coals from Newcastle at 255. per chaldron ; and the best SUNDERLAND Coals at 31s. 3d. per chaldron, and the inferior at 245. per chaldron. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising, that there is so great an anxiety in the Maritime Districts to be relieved from the payment of the duties imposed on Coals carried coastwise. Dover, Dec. 13, 1823. A KENTISH FARMER. THE THEATRES. DttuaT-LANE.—The musical Play of Guy illannering was repeated on Saturday to a crowd ed house. Mr. BRARAM exerted himself most ably. He was required to repeat the song Of The Death of Nelson ; but be came forward and assured the audience that he should be highly gratified in complying with their flattering requi sition, if he did not feel that the exertion would be too great. This plea was well received, but he was obliged to repeat ‘g Bruce's Address to to his Soldiers." Miss STEPHENS sung so well that most of her songs were encored, and the Play was generally Ave!! supported. The new, absurd, and injurious practice of admitting the half-price visitors at nine o'clock, instead of at the end of the second. Act, was adopted, and the clattering, trampling, and banging of the doors and benches, totally destroyed the scene in which Meg Msrrilies first appears, as hardly a syllable that she uttered could be heard. The part was performed for the first time , by Mrs. BUNN, and in the most impressive manner.--We appeal to the Managers of both Theatres, `and require them, in justice to the Public, to delay the admission of half-price till the end of the third act of Plays and the second of Operas.— The Public have a right to insist on an uninter rupted hearing of the performances, which cannot be the case till this new, and, indeed, offensive, regulation is abolished. COVENT-GARDEN.-- = The Tragedy of Thu Gamester was represented so well, on Saturday last, by Messrs. YOUNG, C. KEMBLE, COOPER, and Mrs. BA RTLET, AS to deserve a much more numerous audience than attended it. AFFAIRS OF GREECE.- We have just been favoured with a perusal of a letter from Lord BYRON, dated Cephalonia, the 29th ultimo, ,received yesterday. His Lord ship intended forthwith to proceed to the seat of the Greek Government.„ having received advices that the affairs-of the Greeks were in the most prosperous condition. His Lordship entertains 'wry sanguine hops of their u ltimate success, and indeed expresses his opinion,,' that if the lioly Alliance does not interfrne, the Greeks will in the next year securely esta blish theirs independence." We , think we can tranquilize his Lordship's mind on that subject ; for, so far from the Holy Alliance interfering injuriously for the Greeks, it is certain that thi Greeks have made n cession of territory to the ei (levant .Knights of Malta, who are under the immediate pro tection, of France and Russia. .Indeed it is well known that the Emperor of Russia, the King of France, and all the mem bers of their Imperial and Royal Families, belong to the Or der, which was re-established by the Emperor. Paul at St. Petersburgh, in the year 1790, The establishment of the Knights of Malta in Greece, at this period, is not so unim. pottant as many persons imagine, in relation to British inte. rots in that quarter.—(Brilish onifor of yesterday.) , The arrangements respecting the Loan con-1 tracted for Austria, by the houses of Messrs. ' RoTHISGItILD and Co., BAILING and Co., and Sir THOMAS Rath, IRVING, and Co., have been finally completed to the entire satisfaction of the Government and of the Contractors. The first instalment of 400,0001. has been paid into the Exchequer, and the Bonds are expected to be brought out in a week or ten days. Mr. ROTHSCHILD left town on Saturday even ing for Paris, for the purpose of conducting in person an important financial negociation with the Spanish Government. The Gaactle of Saturday, It will be Seen by our ex t r acts from it, contains the lists of the Officers l for the two new regiments ordered to be added to the Army. They are numbered the 04th and 95th. The Officers are almost entirely taken from the half-pay, or the veteran battalions. The men, we understand, will be raised without any increase whatever of the usual rate of levy money. Men recrnits not under five feet six inches in height, will be taken to the age of thirty; and growing lads, not exceeding eighteen years of age, will be received at the standard of five feet five inches. The bounty to a recruit for un limited service, will be 31. 45., and for limited service, 21. les. 6d. Four shillings has been added to the bounty of the recruit, as an induce ment to enlist, which sum has been deducted from the allowances hitherto granted to the recruiting officer and conducting sergeant, so as to keep the total charge of levy money at the same amount as before. Letters by the Leeward Mail, so long due, were received in Glasgow this morning. The dates from the different Islands are from the 20th to the latter end of October. We are happy to state that they bring no accounts of any open disturbances, but they express strong fears for the future. The writers express their hopes that what has taken place in Demerara will open the eyes of this country, and induce her to desist from bringing forward rash undigested plans for the regulation of the internal affairs of these valuable possessions,-(Glasgow Courier, Dan.) Mr. GIUMALDI, the c low n at C o v en t Garde n Theatre, i s a ffli cte d withan er.ex inwa erti rd on, co w nw en lain p t ierf s o u g o u s i ; d are have been brought on by ov character of clown last season, and in consequence it is doubt. ful whether he will be able to perform this season.

SHAISPEARIeS Henry the Fourth is the, neat play to he produced at Covent•garden Theatre, decorated with the same attention to costume and habit of the period, which Mr. PLAzious, has dis played in his accurate and most characteristic dresses in king John. Rossm.---,The celebrated ROSSINI ) and his wife, Madame COLUIIAN ROSSINI, arrived in London on Saturday, hating been engaged and brought to this country by Signor BENELLI, the present Manager of the Opera. These cele brated Performers have met lvith the mostfica tering reception in Paris—on balancing accounts, we have no doubt that those distinguished Artists will acknowledge, ere long, that England, more tardy, perhaps, in its notice of approval, is more successful as to its substantial way of reception. On Friday night, or: very early on Saturday morning, a, laundry which stands detached from the residence of Mr. JOHN STOCKDALE, at Not ting was entered by means of picklocks, and four baskets, containing nearly the whole linen of his family, ten in number, were carried off. It seems the more remarkable, from the moon being particularly bright, patroles on the road, and his servants having risen at four o'clock to attend the chimney-sweepers. A few nights before a garden bell was stolen from the gate.— We hear That he has some clue to the robbers. EXECUTlON.—(Edinburgh, Dec. 10.)—The execution of the unfortunate youth, Thos. Black, who was convicted on the 4th of November, of the crimes of house-breaking and theft, took place this morning at the head of Libberton's Wynd, amidst a great concourse of spectators.— Ms behaviour, 'since the commutation of the punishment of his younger associate, has been, in every respect, suitable to his awful situation ; and on his arrival at the place of execution, he prayed for a considerable time with the greatest appearance of devotion mad penitence. lie then, in an audible voice, addressed the crowd, acknowledging his guilt, and warning them to avoid evil company, who had brought him to his ignominious death. Ile was , then launched into eternity, and died apparently without pain. During the awful scene, a death-like silence was uniformly maintained by the spectators, who lamented his untimely end.

EXTRAORDINARY INSTANCE OF SUSPENDED MENTAL AND BODILY FUNCTIONS, The following singular rase was related bi - Sir Astley Cooper in his Lecture or w(,doeb(lB y last " The circumstance which I shell mention is one, -which, whether vie regard it in a physiological or surgical point of view, is, herpaps, one of the most extraordinary winch ever occurred; and, as connected with surgery and phisiology, I um surprised that it has not made a greater Impression on the .public mind than it appears to have done. 'A .man was pressed on board of one of his Majesty's ships, early in the late revolutionary war. While on board this vessel, in the Mediterranean, he received a fall from the yard arm, and When pi 'keel up, he was found to he Insen s ibl e . Th e vessel soon after makin.* Gibraltar, he was deposit e d in a h os pit a l at t h at place, where b he remained for some months,still insensible ; and some time after he .was . b roug ht' from ibraltur on board the Dolphin frigate, to a depot Air sailor s ;. Deptford. While he was at Deptford, the surgeon under whose care he was, wart visited by Mr.• Davy, who was then an apprentice at this hospital : the surgeon said to Mr. Davy, I have : a case which I think you would like to see. It is a man who has been insensible for many 'months ; he lies on his back With very few signs of life : he' breathes, indeed, ha s a pulse, and some: motion hi his fingers; but in a ll o th er. respects he is appa rently deprived : of all powers of mind, volition, or don. Mr. Davy went to see the case and on exianin ing the patient, found that there was a slight depression on one part of the head. Being informed of the accident which had,. occasioned his depression, - lie recommended the man to be sent to St. Thomas's Iltainin. lie was placed under the care of Mr.' Cline ; and when he was first admitted into this hospital, I saw him lying on his 'beck, breathing without any great difficulty ; his pulse regular, his arms extended,' and his fingers moving to and fro to the motion of his heart; so that you mild count hie pulse by this motion of his fingers. If he wanted food, he had. the power of moving his lips anti tongue ; and this action of his mouth was the signal to his attendants for sopplying this Want., Mr. Cline, on examining his head, found an oixnotia de ores. Rion t and • thirteen months and.a few, days • after the accident, he was carried into the operating theatre, and there rephined. The depressed portion of bone was elevated from the skull. While he was lying on the table, the motion of his finger* went on during the Operation, but no sooner was the portion of bone raised than it ceased. The operation was performed at one o'clock in th? afternoon ; and at tour o'clock, as I wet walking through the wards I went up . to the man's bed-side, and was surprised to see him sitting up m his bed. fie had r s i,. e d himself on his pilloW. I asked hand' he felt any pain, and he im mediately put his had to his head. In four (lays from that time, he was able to get out of bed, and began to converse;. and •in a few days mere was able to tell us where he came from. Ile recollected the circumstances of his having been pressed, and carried down to Plymouth or Falmouth ; but from that mo ment up to the time when the operation was performetl (that is, for a period of 13 months and some days,) his mind had remained in a state ofperfect oblivion. Ile had drink, ash' were, the cup ofLethe ; he had suffered a complete death, as far 'as regarded his mental and almost all his bodily powers; bat, by removing a small portion of bone with the saw, he was at once restored to all the functiOns of' his mind, and almost all the powers of his body."--(The Lanett ) THE MARKETS.
