BRIGHTON-MONDAY. The King and the Princess Augusta have hitherto escaped the virulence of the influenza. This morning his Majesty and his Royal Sister took a carriage drive before luncheon. His Majesty's carriage was drawn by the gray stud, which always excites universal admiration.

Lord Saltoun has arrived at the Albion. Yesterday evening the Duke and Duchess of St. Albans entertained a distinguished party at dinner at the Bedford. Several o f their Grace's establishment have been attacked with the influenza. The festivities of this week, which were to have been - very numerous, will be much diminished by the indisposi tion of several families about to give entertainments. The grand ball, ,at St. Alban's House, announced for the 20th, is not to take place, in consequence of the Duchess of - St. Albans being a sufferer from the prevalent influenza. Lady Grace Gore has put off her party from this week, as also Lady Winterton and Mrs. Gibbins. THE INFLUENZA,_. This complaint, which, without being dangerous, is tedious in the extreme, reducing the sufferer to the utmost degree of weakness, is prevailing throughout all classes in Brighton. Its first appearance is usually accompanied by sickness, shiverings, intense pain in the back and limbs, and a depression of spirits, accortling to the class of mind of the party suffering, the senses are either confused and deadened, or, in the other extreme, excited to a painful degree. The usual time it remains seems about 10 or 12 days ; but this species of illness is so liable to re lapse, that it is almost impossible to define its original de gree of duration. In the fashionable world here the follow ing persons are at present suffering from its effects :—The Earl of Rosse, the Lady Alicia Parsons, Lady Grace Gore and three daughters, the Duchess of St. Alban's, Lord Frederick Beauclerk, lion. Mrs. Grevill; Hon. General Phipps, Lady C. Stuart, the Hon. Mrs. Westenra, Mrs. Ten nison Floyd, Mrs. Drummond, and several others.

I4.—The Mayor, whose conduct has been above all praise, has departed for Dubin, to urge on the Irish Government the claim of the sufferers to its sympathy and assistance ; and a meeting was held last night at the Chamber of the Guilds of th e Congregated Trades, on the suggestion of Mr. STEELE, for the purpose of forwarding an address to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, calling - on him as a fellow-citizen, and brother of the Guilds, to assist in obtaining relief for the unhappy persons who have been bereaved of their friends and their properties by the late awful calamity. Mr. Lucas, an English tradesman for some years settled in Limerick, was called to the chair, and the feeling which he evinced, and the sentiments to which he gave expression, did honour alike to himself and to England. Several resolutions were moved and carried with the most perfect unanimity ; and a very eloquent and pathetic address, written by Mr. PATRICK NPDONNELL, the Secre tary to the Guilds, was read and moved by him, his motion seconded by Mr. STEELE, and carried amidst acclamation, and expressions of confidence that Mr. RICE would enter with ardour into the objects of the meeting. Mr. STEELE was then called to the chair, and in putting the vote of thanks to Mr. Lucas, called upon the members of the Guilds to pass their eulogy on their English brother's sentiments and conduct in the chair, in its most glowing torte, by giving him nine huzzas, and declaring that he was an honour to England and to Garryowen. The tradesmen then returned to their homes. DUBLIN, JAN. 14. GENERAL ASSOCIATION. We stated yesterday that at the adjourned meeting on Friday, a vote of thanks to Sir WTm. Molesworth, pro posed by Mr. O'Connell, and seconded by Mr. Grattan, was carried. The rote of thanks was confined to Sir William's services on the Orange question, and for the many votes he had give❑ in favour of the people of Ireland. On other points a respectful remonstrance was to be con veyed in the letter of thanks, to be prepared by the Com mittee ; and the Hon. Baronet was also to be informed that there was not the least hostility amongst the mem bers of the Association to the present Administration, and that they did not mean to refuse an instalment on the Tithe question. Mr. GRATTAN, in seconding the motion, said, Sir Wm. Molesworth and Mr. Roebuck were honest in intention ; but he had no hesitation in saying that they were mistaken. Mr. Roebuck seemed indifferent to the horrors that would be likely to befal Ireland if the Tories came into power, and such men as Mr. O'Connell had alluded to were thrust upon the bench of justice. Known and fiery partisans were made the administrators of the law in Ireland. It would (if any thing did so) drive him to the field in arms to fight for his liberties. Mr. BARRETT followed up Mr. O'Connell's attack upon Mr. Sharman Crawford, denounced the " rascally Radicals of Newcastle," took credit to himself for having spared no political scoundrel, from Eneas M'Donnell down to Feargus O'Connor ; and expressed his belief, with Mr. O'Connell, that, as a nation, the English were, with some glorious ex ceptions, either adverse or indifferent to justice for Ireland. After some conversation elicited by Mr. Barrett's attack, The Rev. Mr. 0' M ALLEY rose to exercise his right of reply upon the poor-law discussion. In the course of his speech he made some observations, which drew up Mr. O'Connell. The Learned Gentleman, after saying a few words, was interrupted with cries of " Order !" Upon the continuance of the interruption to his speaking Mr. O'Connell called for Mr. O'Mailey's letter, from which he read the following passage :—" Oh ! how long are we to witness the sickening spectacle—sickening to the heart of every pure and generous patriot—the spectacle of men of strong ambition and loose principles stepping into Parlia ment upon the shoulders of those poor brave fellows, and kicking them off as they get in !" He asked who were the men of loose principles? He was told in the Committee it was not him.—(This was responded to with loud cheers by the meeting.) The Rev. Mr. O'MALLEY complained that the introduc tion of such a topic was an impediment to him in his reply. Mr. O'CONNELL demanded the name of the person re ferred to. Mr. STAUNTON considered it unfair to interrupt the Rev. Gentleman in his reply. Mr. O'Malley ought not to be called on to name any particular person. Mr. O'CoNNELL—Name.—(Loud cries of " Name, name," and shouts of " No, no ;" " Mr. O'Malley, proceed.") Great confusion prevailed in the meeting for some minutes. Mr. O'Connell again called for the name, and said there could not be such indecent scenes there. The Rev. Mr. O'MALLEY said if the course then pur sued were persisted in, he would retire altogether. After a brief delivery, the Rev. Gentleman then concluded his argument. Mr. O'CONNELL again called the attention of the Rev. Gentleman to the passage from the letter he had read. The Rev. Mr. O'MALLEY felt, he said, really surprised that the Hon. Gentleman should urge that point upon him. Mr. O ' CONNELL said he should give notice of a motion for the next day of meeting, that the marked thanks were due to, and the unqualified confidence of the people of Ireland was placed in, Richard Lalor Sheil. The Rev. Mr. O'MALLEY hoped the Hon. Gentleman would allow him the honour of seconding that resolution. Mr. O ' CONNELL hoped not. He hoped that Mr. O'Mal ley would have the delicacy not to second a motion of the kind. Mr. P. COSTELLO thought an apology ought to be made by the Reverend Gentleman to Mr. Sheil. Mr. O'CONNELL considered it better not to press the subject then, but leave full time for deliberation. He then proceeded to say that though he had a full right to explain the misconceptions that were entertained of the sentiments he had delivered on this subject on a former occasion, he should confine himself to the notice of the inconsistency with which he was charged by Mr. Sharman Crawford, in consenting to the disfranchisement of the 40s. freeholders. His answer to that was, that at the period of the disfran chisement ha was one of several Irish gentlemen, then in London, who petitioned Parliament rather to reject the Emancipation Bill than accept it on the condition of disfran chising the forty-shilling freeholders. Then as to the Sub letting Act, he had always opposed it, and ultimately suc ceeded in having it repealed. That Act did not increase competition, but took away the possibility of competition. Then as to tithes, there was this comicality in the case that the Reverend Gentleman said it was utterly impossi ble to abolish tithes, and Mr. Sharman Crawford declared they must be totally abolished. He then proposed the fol lowing resolutions:— " Ist. That the present Administration deserves the gratitude, and enjoys the confidence of the Irish People, and that such Administration, being pledged to bring for. ward a measure of Poor-laws in Ireland in the now ap proaching Session, we deem it the duty of all the popular Representatives of this country, to give the most efficient support in their power to such Government measure—to any extent which shall not involve a violation of principle. " 2.d. The present winter and ensuing Spring afford a melancholy prospect of the effects of famine and disease in many parts of Ireland, arising from the inclemency of the season, and the failure of the poor man's crop ; and we, therefore, require the representatives of the Irish people to press upon the Government the absolute necessity of ob taining, before it be too late, a grant from Parliament of a large sum to be applied in aid of local subscriptions in the immediate relief of the poor in particular localities. " 3d. That the first and most sacred duty of the Irish Members is to aid the present Ministry in mitigating, and finally removing, the political causes which have created poverty and misery amongst the great mass of the popu lation of the finest and most fertile land on the face of the globe." In his supporting these resolutions, be said he was opposed to any poor law which would not limit the relief to cases of calamity and misery, that persons would not undergo the misery for the sake of the relief. He was convinced that in the present state of Ireland a poor-law unaccompanied with extensive emigration, would augment, instead of dimi nishing the miseries of the country. He concluded by pro posing the resolutions, which passed unanimously. The amount of the rent for the week was then announced to be 2411. 3s. 3d. The meeting then adjourned. THE MASTER OF THE ROLLS.—On inquiry to-day, we learned that Sir Wm. M'Mahon was somewhat improved although there is little hope of his ultimate recovery.—Dub lin Evening Post. An affair of honour between Mr. Costello and Mr. El lis, arising out of some strong language used in the commit tee room on Wednesday was prevented. Mr. Ellis was bound over to keep the peace. Mr. Costello was non in vcntus. Mr. Beaumont has addressed from Dublin a letter to his constituents on the subject of obtaining justice for Ire land. THE GREAT INlETRorous.—The title alone of this work, by the author of " Random Recollections of the Lords and Commons," is of itself sufficient to excite uni versal curiosity, for where is there an individual whp is not anxious to know all about our Babylonic capital ? The immense variety of information contained in these volumes is no less astonishing than its singular nature and originality. In the searching fashion of" Paul Pry," our penetrating author appears to have gained admission everywhere for the express purpose of presenting the world with a faithful picture of " The Great Metropolis." The secrets which are here brought to light, relative to metropolitan society— the clubs—the theatres—the gaming -houses, &c., &c., will startl e the oldest inhabitant of London ; whilst our country cousins will be still more amazed at knowing " what is done in the capitol." THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1837 COLOMBIAN BONDS. TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE OF COLOMBIAN BONDHOLDERS. Sia,—As it appears that the Colombian States are about to come to some terms with the British Creditors, I consider that the more simple the arrangements are, the more satis factory it will be to the Creditors, and the more beneficial to the credit of the Colombian States, while the carrying the same into effect will be attended with much less ex pense ; therefore, instead of making a Deferred Stock at once, as proposed at the late meeting, which would eventu ally create nine different descriptions of Stock (three to each State), I beg leave to suggest the fidlowing plan for the consideration of the Committee, as being in accordance with what I have above stated, viz. : That each State shall be bound to remit sufficient funds, according to the proposed allotment of its proportion of the debt, as shall be enough to pay the first dividend that became due ; i. e., those Coupons payable on the 15th July, 1826, and Ist Nov., 1826, on the Ist Jan., 1838 ; those payable on the 15th Jan., 1827, and Ist May, 1827, on the Ist Jan., 1839. The next half year's to be paid on the Ist Sept., 1839, and a further one every eight months during the four following years ; at the expiration of which, the full 6 per cent. to be regularly paid, and the arrears of divi dends to be then funded, not at par, but say 10 per cent. above the average price that the Bonds may bear in the London market for the month or two months previous to the conversion. This arrangement would allow ample time for the adjust ment of all differences between the three States, as to the proportion of the debt to be allotted to each, and then there will be no difficulty in having new Bonds delivered by the respective States for their proportion of the amount of the old Bonds, and the arrears of interest that may then remain due upon them ; the commencement of the payment of in terest on the latter of which might, if necessary, be deferred for two years. An inducement would be here held out to the Colombian States to pay, if possible, an extra dividend for the last year or two, as, by so doing, they would raise their credit materially, the advantages of which they would reap in the greatly improved priceS at which they would be able to fund the arrears. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, T. A. R. Jan. 16, 1837. Admiral Ross Donelly, Admiral A ustin, and Ad miral Munly are to be raised immediately to the dignity of Knights Commanders of the Bath. • Everybody is talking about " Henrietta Temple," and remarking upon the author's pictures, or caricatures, of the remarkable and well-known characters about the clubs and gaming -houses, and in the fashionable circles. Of at least one individual, who is understood to have rea lised a vast fortune in a very short space of time by supe rior skill and grdat natural talent, Mr. D'lsraeli's sketches are generally very correct. The party referred to bears, in this work, the appellation of Mr. Bond Sharp, and the author has hit off his character and personal appearance to the very life.—Dispatch. Last Thursday afternoon an Irishman entered the Roman Catholic chapel in Duke -street, Lincoln's Inn fields, and committed several outrageous attacks on one of the Priests, who was standing near the altar, and would in all probability have murdered him, had he not fortunately released himself from the man's grasp, and taken refuge in the private house belonging to the chapel. The man amused himself for some time breaking down the backs of the pews, and throwing at the chandelier suspended from the ceiling. The beadle arrived with assistance from the Bow-street station-house, when it required the force of seven men to eject him from the chapel, and place him in custody. Who the person is has not been ascertained, but that he is in a state of madness there cannot be the slightest doubt. The Priest and beadle's clothes were nearly torn from their backs, and the damage done to the interior of the chapel is said to exceed 50/. MR. O'CONNELL AT BANBUR I.—We are not a little astonished at finding the following exceedingly foolish and illiberal paragraph in the Northampton Chroni cle :—" On Tuesday last, just at dusk, a dark-green car riage entered the gateway of the White Lion. The waiter ran out, and, when he opened the door, he found inside nothing but a thick walking stick, and a dirty pair of gloves. T:e driver refused to give any account of the persons whom he had brought to town. After remaining about three hours, he went out for a short time, and, on returning, put his horses to, and drove off. We were satisfied there was some mystery, some Whig-radical trickery in this, and de termined to unravel it, and to the dismay of our jobbing, self-elected, popish, infidel, town councillors, we have suc ceeded most completely. The person who came in that carriage was set down at the end of the town, and was no other than the Member for all Ireland. Yes, the virtual head of the crim-Connell administration, on that evening, visited Banbury. He proceeded to the house of one of the aldermen ; a special meeting of the Council was imme diately summoned, the great agitator attended, and shortly after eight o'clock his carriage drove up South Bar -street, and opposite to the monument, he got into it and departed. We, ourselves, saw an individual of immense proportions standing before the popish chapel now building, near to the above spot, evidently surveying it with great satisfaction ; but we then little thought that the blackest heart in the British dominions was polluting this, before sufficiently de based, town with his presence," &c. &c. In consequence of the progress made in the system of education, the municipality of Paris has made a change in the Jury or Committee for examining governesses as to their qualifications, and has determined that a female shall henceforth form one of the Jury. Governesses will have to undergo three examinations. The first in grammar, arith metic, and sacred history ; the second in geography and the history of France ; and the third in general history, logic, and literature.—.Galignani. CORONER'S INQUEST.—At eight o'clock Friday night an inquisition was held before Mr. Hig , s, at the Ros e and Crown, Crown -street, Soho, on th e body of Auguste Dubuisson, aged 20, who destroyed himself by firing a pistol into his head. About fire o'clock in the morning of Friday, Mrs. Elizabeth Stroud, egg-dealer, of 17, Graf ton-street, Soho, was asleep in the room behind the shop, when she was awoke by a noise outside. She thought from the noise more than one person was there, and that they were attempting to break in. The violence against the door was such as to make a small bell attached ring, and forced off a small bolt. She sat up in the bed in alarm, and after about ten minutes she heard the report of a pistol, and all was immediately quiet. On going into the shop she saw blood flowing in under the door. Mrs. Cheeseman, a lodger, opened the street door, and found the unfortunate man lying dead. Previous to the discharge of th e pi s t o l, s h e heard a pacing up and down before the door, but thinks it was of only one person. The Rev. Dr. Niblock, Princi , pal of the London High School, said the deceased had for the last six months been professor of French and Geometry in his school, and had been diligent, patient, and singularly meek throughout. He was a Roman Catholic. He left witness at the commencement of the vacation, on the 20th of December, and then received a check for his quarter's stipend, but which he never presented. He was when he left in perfect health and in high spirits. Witness never saw any symptom of aberration of mind in him. The fa ther, who was evidently deeply affected, had not seen his son for three months, having been in Paris during the greater part of the interval. Friday morning, by the first Twopenny-post delivery, he received a letter in his son's handwriting, the substance of which was that he was tired of life ; that it was a burden to him, and that in his distress and perplexity death alone could solve the question. Verdict—Temporary Insanity. _ _ . , epidemicTHE INFLUENZA.—The epinec so extensively prevailing in the metropolis exhibits at present no signs of abatement. It is observed that in places situated low its attacks are far more severe than those on a higher elevation. About Hampstead the aspect it assumes is comparatively mild, and differing little from the common catarrh. The courts of law are deserted by most of the leading counsel, and various important motions, &c., stand over in consequence. More than one remedy for this distressing malady has been recommended, but the follow ing has been communicated by an experienced medical man as the simplest and surest in its effects. Keep the bowels in a state of gentle relaxation, and take at bed-time a basin of hot sweetened gruel, in which must be mixud a tea spoonful of ipecacuanha wine, and the same quantity of sweet spirits of nitre. It taken in time this specific will speedily throw off the complaint. Antimony has been re commended in the place of ipecuanba, but the former is much more variable in its action, and is less to be depended upon. At twelve o'clock on Sunday night, Mr. Charles Cornell discovered a fire on his farm buildings at Brook street farm, near Halstead. The house is at a short dis tance from the buildings, and on Mr. Cornell arriving at them, two barns, cattle-sheds, cart-lodges, a granary, stable, and a cottage adjoining, were all in flames at the same mo ment. It is supposed that the fire took place in the thatch of a barn adjoining the road; the wind being high at the time, the flames spread rapidly. Mr. Cornell's loss consists of a stack of barley, a stack of straw, a stack of haulm, twelve loads of wheat, a great quantity of barley and seeds in the granary, numerous sets of harness, and two fine horses, which were totally destroyed. The people in the cottage were so paralysed with, fright, that they were obliged to be dragged out of the place. The 'gentlemen of the neighbourhood gave every assistance in their power, and the whole of the people of the towns and villages did their best to save the property ; by their exertions a considerable quantity of hay, turnips, &c., were fortunately rescued from destruction. There does not remain a doubt of its being the work of an incendiary, no fire ever being used near the spot where the conflagration commenced. The property is insured to the Essex Office,--Esser Herald. FOREIGN IN TE LLIGEN CE. FRANCE. PARIS, JAN. 15.—We have accounts from Bona of the 22d December ; they announce that the evacuation of the troops previously drawn from Oran and Algiers, on the Constantine expedition, had entirely terminated. There is now remaining in the place only the garrison necessary for the duty. Tht_., communication with Guelma is still open, and the engineers are still actively employed in surround ing the intermediate . points of communication between Bona and Constantine, with some defensive works sufficient to secure that ancient town from a coup dc main on the part of the Arabs, who have not yet appeared in any num bers on that side. It appears that they are all assembling in the environs of Constantine. Despatches addresseCto Don Carlos have been inter cepted. Among them is a very curious letter of Baron Capelle. It states " that the Powers were firmly resolved not to acknowledge Charles V. till he shall be master of Bilboa, and that a check before that place would do him the greatest injury. As for the intervention (adds the letter) it will not take place, so long as the Doctrinaires are in power. For this reason it is to be desired that they may keep their ground, and the Powers are fully re solved to support them with all their influence."—LeTemps. The estafette from Calais has arrived without bringing tho English Journals. The sea ran so high, fir t the packets could not enter the harbour. The mail from Strasburg is likewise still due. An Even ing Journal says, " The accounts which we receive to-day, inform us that Espartero is going to direct his operations towards the French frontier, in order to cut off all the com munications of the Carlists on that side, and to deprive them of the resources which they draw from it. The army of Navarre is especially charged with this operation." A letter from Toulon says, " The SrSi.en having taken its provisions and stores, was ready to sail on the 7th in the morning, with about 900 men of the new Foreign Le gion, whom it is to convey to Africa ; but the embarkation of the troops has been suspended. It is believed that General Damremont has written by telegraph to the Mi nister of War, to ask for fresh orders relative to the desti nation of that battalion."—Journal du Commerce, Jan. 15, Supplements published at two o'clock in the afternoon. SPAIN. Intercepted account of the total ruin of the Carlist cause in Spain, in a letter from Mr. E. B. Stephens (cor respondent of the Morning Post) to Mr. Mitchell (corres pondent of the Morning Herald) Durango, Tuesday, Dec. 27. " My dear Mitchell—Thank God I'm alive, and I write to tell you that we are all safe ; that is Ranelagb, Butts and Son, Humphrey Bell and myself ; we have had a most infernal drubbing. What has become of the army, Heaven knows, it has been a complete debacle. I know little more than that Espartero took the broken bridge of Luchana on Saturday evening, because it was not defended by a sufficient force. Ranelagh and Bell fought like devils, charging at the head of thirty men to retak e th e a d vance d post ; but a scoundrelly Captain of the 6th Regiment of Biscaye, who I hope will be publicly disgraced, said that he was of the reserve, and drew off his men, so that our friends found themselves fighting against Espartero with five Biscayans. Que vottlez you: Q The Trincadouras came sweeping up, and clearing the cause way with grape-shot ; the column gained a footinr , on the bill, and made a hurra on the B a nd eras , which 6 they carried before the dawn ; the cry along our line then was they are coming.' This was quite enough for me, so I mounted my mule, and gallopped off venire d terre, along the Camino Real de Monguia. The infantry fled through the snow to Galdacano ; the Prince and suite with the artillery, i. e. all that was saved, to Guernica. Ranelagh, Colonel Butts and Son, minus their baggage, gained the same place on foot—poor Ranelagh, in a mag nificent dressing-gown a' la Louis the Fourteenth. The whole of his baggage, including his splendid toilette case, well stocked with Delcroix's most exquisite perfumery, and two of Truefit's elaborately-made whigs, fell into the hands of the Christinos : for myself, I rode on, without a pesetta in my pocket, to find out the Senora Calle, who gave me a couple of dollars instead of two hundred, alleging that she would soon be in Bayonne, and would then pay me the rest—cold comfort this ! Entre 720718, the game is up, and I shall cut my stick ; you may therefore expect to see me in Bayonne almost immediately ; to tell you the truth, I'm dead beaten ; I hope the new ma nifold machine has not been dispatched hither from Bayonne ; pray write and tell me if I have any chance of tinding on this side the. Pyrenees my surtout, umbrella, and the two bottles of Scotch whisky—there's no swallow ing their cursed aqua dente ; also how the devil I'm to get across the frontier to Iron with my baggage, and whether I could travel better to St. Jean de Luz with or without my mule ; I know I can sell her at Irun for what she cost me at Estera, but I don't know if I can manage my bag gage so as to avoid delay at Behobia without a help, but after all sell her I must, for I am regularly cleaned out. Tell me also what I am to say to the people at the Pass port-office there. I still retain my Bayonne receipt for my English one. Shall I bring one from Don Gulielmo Sierra? The day after I receive your letter I shall start for Bayonne, and happy shall I be to find myself once more with a whole skin at the Hotel St. Etienne, for I have had quite enough of this cut-throat work ; therefore request that cl .- ".'cllo o .'*g the 111 441 :s de Lde to keep all letters and newspapers for me lest they should cross me on the road. Many thanks for all favours, my dear Mitchell, in haste for poste, after riding over the snow from Guernica. Most truly yours, " E. B. STEPHENS." In the sitting of the 6th instant the Committee of Na tional Rewards proposed the following Bill to the consi deration of the Cones : " Article 1. The defenders of Bilboa, and the army and navy, as well Spanish as English, who contributed towards raising the siege, deserve well of the country. " Art. 2. The President of the Cortes shall write an au tograph letter to the General-in-Chief; Don Baldomero Espartero, in testimony of the nation's gratitude, directing him to return thanks in the name of the Cortes to all the Generals, officers, and troops, as well of the army as the navy, who had assisted in the defence of Bilboa, or in raising the siege ; and another to the illustrious Commo dore of his Britannic Majesty's naval forces stationed on the coast of Cantabria, for the services which his marines and sailors have rendered to our cause ; and finally, another to the Corporation of Bilboa, to the authorities, the na tional militia, and inhabitants, which is to be read every year on the 25th day of December with due solemnity. " Art. 3. The ground hitherto occupied by the Capu chin Convent is to be destined for a square, to be called The Square of Bilboa,' in the centre of which a bronze monument, of elegant and simple construction, is to be erected, for the purpose of perpetuating the glory of the defenders and liberators of that invincible city. " Art. 4. The Government shall be authorised-Ist, to defray out of the national purse the reconstruction of all the edifices belonging to loyal subjects which had been destroyed during the siege ; 2dly, the erection of a simple and majestic monument, in the most convenient situation, which shall manifest to posterity the valour displayed by the inhabitants of Bilboa during the sieges which they sus tained against the Carlist faction ; and idly, the amount of the pensions which may be accorded,to the widows and or phans of the defenders and liberators of Bilboar TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 21.—This evening we are to have gay doings. It is the Sultan's birth-day, and the whole city is to be illuminated. His Highness himself is to take his iftar (evening meal after a day of abstinence) at the Scraskier's palace, at Eski Serai, and various amusements are to be provided for the entertainment of the people, who will throng to the spot in spite of the plague and all its evils. It will be recollected that the Sultan (who is 53 Turkish years old) wished to celebrate his birth-day accord ing to the French calendar ; but he found that the Ulemah were so much opposed to such an innovation, that he gave up the point, and adheres to the old Arab calculation. It being a matter of no importance whatever, he was right in not creating fresh enemies by his Giaour predilections. The present fete will last three days. A Circassian is arrived here, who says that when he left his country the Vixen had already made the coast, and that the Russian cruisers got purposely out of the way, so as not to be obliged to notice her. If this is true, it is no more than was expected. The Russians in the meantime arc threatening with destruction all Turkish craft that may attempt to communicate with Circassia. Should the re port about the Vixen be correct, what better proof is required that nothing but firmness is wanted to put these Northern upstarts in order ? The famous Kurdish Chief Ravendouz Bey is expected to arrive here froni one hour to another. He is accom panied by his treasure, consisting of gold, silver, jewels, and other precious thing, which form the loads of 120 wag gons ! The private treasure of the late Commander-in- Chief of the Turkish army, Reshid Mehmed Paella, is also on the way, and about to arrive. It consists of 300 chests of gold and silver coin ! With such facts continually start ing us in the face, there are still people who persist in be lieving that Turkey is one of the poorest countries in the world ! The plague is decidedly getting better, as may be seen by our plague thermometer—the weekly report of the Greek hospital —or, as it is sometimes called, the Zondano-Ta phvean (tomb of the living), which this time shows the num ber of the patients admitted to have been only eighty-two —deaths forty. We have, however, to regret the death, by the disorder, of Hassouna d'Ghie s , l a t e e dit or o f th e French Paper of the Government, entitled- the Moniteur Ottoman. As an editor his services were not worth a straw, and the Paper has long been a disgrace to the country ; but his loss will be severely felt by the Sultan, who was de cidedly disposed to profit by the European experience of Hassouna, in order to introduce into his corrupt Admini stration many more reforms of a useful character. It is likely that the new editor will be Vakouf Bey, now second translator at the Sublime Porte ; and if he can only suc ceed in getting proper assistance for the French depart ment, he may do well enough. A good paper is what is very much wanted here. I see by the European Journals that the exaggerated ac counts once circulated here of the ravages of the plague, have gained credence. lam assured that, at no time, have the deaths in Constantinople Proper (i.e. within the walls) much exceeded 80 per diem, and at present they fall short of 40, of which, about one-half may proceed from ordinary maladies. I regret to say that the disorder, which had nearly ceased at Adrianople, is again spreading in an alarm ing way, thanks to the zeal of the Greek priesthood, who have brought forward the zone of a famous Virgin Mary, at Mount Athos, and have been collecting all the fanatic Greeks at the metropolitan church to adore it ! The fools have an idea that no disorder can be caught in their churches, and thus they become victims on every occasion to an absurd credulity, in which they are of course encou raged by their para-loving pastors. If the churches were closed in times of public sickness, Europe would never bear of such devastation as has been lately recorded. It appears to be understood that nothing more will be (lone about the tarif until the receipt of fresh instructions from the British Government, which cannot be here until the commencement of February. If England will only take the initiative, she may do just as she pleases. Want of decision will, as heretofore, be fatal to the prosperity of the Ottoman Empire. Trade is in a most deplorable state. The Persians are owing enormous sums, which they cannot, or will not, pay. The market is groaning under a weight of goods fit only for the Persian market, and not a package can be sold without an enormous loss, whilst the exchanges are as wild as a weathercock in a tornado. London has been done to-day at 1011 1031 1021. SOUTH AMERICA. " FALMOUTH, JAN. 14.—8 y his Majesty's packet Gold finch, Lieutenant Collier, arrived this morning with the Mexican mails, we haze advices from Vera Cruz up to the 30th of November last. The preparations in the north of the republic for the invasion of Texas was still proceeding, and the rear division of the Government troops, to the amount, it was stated, of 4,000 men, under the command of General Bravo, who was appointed Commander-in-Chief, had been incorporated in the neighbourhood of Matamoros with the troops which bad returned from the former cam paign, and amounting to about 3,000. The greatest efforts had been made by the Government to render this force effective in every respect ; but despite their exertions and precautions, a great scarcity of provisions existed at Mata moros. The Mexican sea force it was found necessary to increase considerably, with a view of checking the depredations of the Texian privateers, which had cap tured several vessels from the ports of Campeachy and Tampico. _ _ _ " Great alterations were contemplated by the Govern ment in the fiscal department all over the country, and it was considered more than probable that the . new tariff would be accompanied by an entire change of officers in the Custom-house departments. His Excellent} Senor Gorostiza, who had been dis patched on a special mission to the Cabinet of Washington, had returned from New York before concluding the inten tion of his diplomatic errand, in consequence of the United . States' General Gaines having passed the Vxican fron tier, under the plea of keeping the. Indiatis quiet. He had with him a force of 600 men, and had:entered Na cogdoches. We understand that Government had re mitted the export duty on cochineal. The Goldfinch sailed from Tampico on the 21st, Vera Cruz on the 30th of No vember, and the Havannah on the 13th of December, and brings on freight 320,000 dollars." ITALY. ROME, DEC. 27.—The promotion of several Prelates, of which I spoke lately, has now taken place. I add the most important particulars :—Monsey G. Farritti, the well-known and meritorious Minister, is appointed Bishop of Teuscone and Corneto, in the room of the deceased Cardinal Vetzi. The post of Uditore Generale Della, Rev. A. Camera, Apos tolical, is offered to Mousey Mezey, d'Argenteau Nuncio, at Munich, a native of Liege; should he decline it will be given to Mons. Luigi Amat dc S. Felippe e Corso, late Nuncio at Madrid. Both places lead to the nearest promotion to the Cardinal's hat. The successors to the two Nuncios arc not yet appointed. Monsignore. Burial() della Valle is Uditore della Sacra Rota in the room of the late Monsignore de Cupis, and his place in the Signatura is given to Monsig. Lipefic. Arrangements made by Monsignore Testi, Minister of Finance, in his departments are particularly important, because, in addi tion to the three sections in the Chamber of Accounts, those of the Customs, Public Debt, Stamp Duty, four new ones are formed, viz., Public Works, the - Prisons, the Taxes, and one other ; the Presidents, three of whom are not ecclesiastics, as usual, but laymen, which is a very remarkable innovation. We have accounts from Malta, which state that the plague had been brought thither by a ship from Constantinople, so all vessels from that island were denied admittance into the king dom of Naples. The next mail from the south will show what credit is due to this report. VIENNA, JAN. 4.—The Viadika of Montargis had to-day the honour of being presented to Prince Metternich by Prince Gottschakoff, the Russian Charge d'Affaires. We have a continued violent north-west wind, with heavy snow, which is so deep, that the streets have frequently been impassable. The mails from almost all parts have arrived a day or two too late; and a courier who was dispatched yester day by the Chancellor of State for Paris could get only one stage from Vienna, and after many fruitless attempts to pro ceed, was obliged to turn back, with his carriage broken, to set out a second time with a stronger vehicle, and double the number of horses. CORFU, DEC. 22.—8 y a letter which has been brought by a steam-boat we have news from Smyrna, which represents the state of Syria as very critical, and say that great caution must be observed in making consignments to that country. Several houses which have lately commenced doing , business with that country are under much uneasiness, because, in case of any extraordinary events which may ensue from the fermentation in Syria, great losses may be apprehended. In Greece, on the contrary, trade is becoming very active, and the im portation of goods from the South of France is increas ing. The return of King Otho is anxiously expected at Athens ; every thing is in readiness for the reception of his Majesty and his young consort. The accounts from Smyrna add, that the prohibition issued by the Russian Government against the landing of foreign merchandize on the north cast coast of the Black Sea, seems to increase the contraband trade carried on, and which calls for great vigilance on the part of the Russian authorities. Several ships, it is said, have lately been detained which had on board military stores fer the Caucasian tribes. It is believed that a great part of the car goes is English property. Two officer► have lately been sent from the office of the Lord High Commissioner; one is gone to Malta, the other to Tripoli. It is said that orders have been sent to the English men-of-war that were sent to Tripoli to return to Malta. This is supposed to be at the request of the Porte. The defeat of the French before Constantine has given manifest pleasure to the inhabitants of this island. It is believed that the French will now find it difficult to regain their ascendancy among the Bedouins, and that though France may obtain a temporary success by its arms, it will not be able in the end to keep its ground in Africa. The premiums of insurance for ships have risen considerably within these three weeks. JASSY, DEC. 23.—The General Assembly will be opened in a few days. It is generally hoped that this session will be con cluded peaceably and happily. RUMOURED MARRIAGE.--It is reported that Lord M-- H— is about to be united to Miss B—, a young:lady of great beauty, from the sister island. FIRE AT QUEBEC.—Last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a fire broke out at Pres-de-Ville, to the south-west of the Inclined Plane, in the house of Mr. Kelly, tavern-keeper. The wind was westerly and the tide out, and many of the houses wood; and the street narrow. Every assistance was given by the neighbourhood, but the fire could not be prevented from spreading across the street, and the wooden buildings on both sides burnt so in tensely, that they set the stone houses that happensed to be opposite on fire, by the doors,, windows, and eaves of the roofs. The military and some of the fire companies at tended, but little could be done to arrest the progress of the flames to leeward. The conflagration only stopped at the Inclined Plane. A couple of houses to the windward of Kelly's were consumed. The buildings were mostly new ; twenty-two of them erected on the late Mr. Mol son's property after the fire two years ago. The desolation and distress is immense. Besides the loss sustained by the proprietors, and the assurance companies, it is supposed that upwards of 100 families are deprived of their dwellings at the setting in of winter, and have lost all they have saved by industry for their support. The number of houses de stroyed is about .50. The amount of property destroyed is not so great as at the fire of the 10th of September, at the Queen's-wharf, but it is much more disastrous, by the number of industrious families that it leaves destitute. Three of the merchants of the Lower Town are now col lecting subscriptions to assist those who stand most in need of aid, with a place of temporary resort and some imme diate relief.—Quebcc Gazette, Dec. 9. COPENHAGEN, JAN. 3.—More than half of the inhabitants of Berlin have been suffering by a disorder which is a severe cold, and is here called the grippe ; on th e whole, it is, however, very mild. The King, who has been attacked by it, is rather better. Jan7.—The b u ll e ti n o f to-day represents the King's health as improving ; the fever has abated ; the appetite is better, and hi s M a j es t y f ee l s himself rather stronger. His sleep however continues to be interrupted by the cough - —Hamburg/1 Paper. The number of sheep lost in the late snow storm in this county (Lincolnshire) would exceed belief. One dealer alone has bought three hundred skins during last week, and there have been others in the same line who have purchased even - more largely.—Lincoln Gazette. NAPOLEON AND THE DUKE L' VICENZA. (From La Nouvelle Minerve.) " Napoleon," says the narrator of the details given onclig the above head, and who will be better remembered by many of our readers as Caulaincourt, " was subject to violent fits of ill-humour. When he wanted on these occasions a sa tisfactory answer, to those who contradicted his opinions, he used to show his displeasure by some dry an s wer ; but. if it happened that he was still opposed, he often carried ill-humour to the very verge of rudeness. When the con versation took this turn, I used in order to avoid corning to extremities, which I knew my temper could not patiently brook, cut the matter shoot by gravely taking: my leave. This used 'greatly to annoy the Emperor ; but, notwithstanding, he never allowed me to depart without adding some word of kindness to remove any unpleasant feeling which his previous warmth might have created, and in this way, without further explanation, harmony used to be restored between us." It appears however, that their differences were not always so spee dily made up. " During the campaign of Moscow," con tinues Caulaincourt, ".at the close of a warm altercation, I quitted the head-quarters; and retired to a kind of garret, which an officer had the kindness to give up to me along with his straw pallet —a luxury at that time. Berthier came to seek me on the part of the Emperor. I, at first, objected to return, being satisfied, in my own mind, that my functions about his person had ceased. I had even written to him requesting some command in Spain. He returned my letter, at the bottom of which there was written in his own hand, lam not so bad as to send you to get yourself killed in Spain. Come and see me—l expect you.' On seeing me approach he laughed. You well know,' said he, holding out his hand to me, that we are like a pair of lovers, who cannot bear to pass one another in anger.' "" Our difference on this occasion had lasted three days. From that time his sallies of ill-temper were much less serious. " Towsrds the close of 1813, the Emperor began to show himse.if more in public—attended by the Empress— than had been his custom. He probably felt it necessary to court popularity at the time, in order the better to coun teract the intrigues which were even then going on very actively amongst the friendi of the Bourbons." That Napoleon was cognizant of much of what was going on on this subject appeari certain, from the statement of Caulaincourt, who seems at a loss to account for the ex traordinary apathy—the more extraordinary - in one of the energetic habits and movements of the Emperor. One evening, at the opera, "when the Emperor and Empress were present, Napoleon, at the close of, one of the acts, retired into the salon attached to his box, and turning suddenly to aulaincourt, said. " They are plotting in the. Faubourg St. Germain ; those people are incorrigible ; they say many bad thiegs of me there. Have you heard any ?" Caulain court's reply was indicative enough of the courtier and the soldier. •" It is not in my presence that any one would venture to speak ill of your Majesty." " They do, however," continued the Emperor, " plot and conspire a bsurdly—meanly ; but these petty intriguers are not dangeraus ; yet I am astounded at the ingratitude of these peoples whom, for the most part, I have raised from misery--to whom I have restored their sequestrated estates— and on wfrom I have conferred, at, in many instances, their own most obsequious and humiliating solicitations, places in my Court." Caulaincourt does not mention the reply he made to these remarks ; but he intimates, " that if the Em peror had followed the counsels which had been given to him, and sent ' a certain porsonage' to Vincennes, he would have done only an act of justsne." " That traitor," he adds, " was the life and soul of all the plots and conspiracies then going on between the Bourbon party and the allies, and from his former relations with most of the members of the foreign diplomatic bodies, he possessed much real influence:." Though the Emperor knew some, and suspected snore, of the intrigues which were carried on, to take advantage of the difficulties to which he had brought France, and the jeopardy in which he placed the imperial sceptre, it appears from the statements of Caulaincourt that he was not trt all aware of the extent to which they had been carried, and the boldness with which they were conducted. Some few days after the conversation above noticed, at the breaking up of a Council, Savary, the Chief Minister of Police, placed in the hands of the Emperor a parcel, con taining printed papers, manuscripts, several letters, and a porkfenille. " What is all this ?" demanded the Emperor. Sire," replied Savary, " they are proofs in . support of facts to which I have often in vain begged the attention of your Majesty." The Emperor knit his brows as be cast his eye over ono of the letters which Savary had put into his hands. • From the Minister's account of the manner in which these, important documents came to hisa hands, it appeared that some time before the police got intimation that Madame La —, under pretence of a journey, for amusement, to Mentz, was to be the bearer of many important communica tions from the Coterie of the Faubourj St. Germain. We are told that a more prudent choice could not have been made of an Ambassadress for such a mission. ,She was young, handsome, of most engaging manners, great Address, and a spirit which would not have shrunk from any of the conse quences of the functions with which she was charged. On the 3d or 4th of December, 1813, she prepared to set out from Paris. Her passports for Mentz were all en regle— lier elegant caleche was covered with boxes and trunks, filled with robes, cloaks, bonnets, &c. Who could have suspected any evil from such an array of trumpery ? In fact, nothing could have a more harmless air than the whole set-out. In this manner, and accompanied by a confidential domestic, she journeyed towards Mentz in per fect security, revelling in the delightful anticipations of splendid fetes, of riches, and ambitious conquests. Alas! pleasant dreams are of short duration. The fair tra veller had not achieved more than half her journey, when she was aroused from her enchanting reveries to see her carriage surrounded by vulgar gendarmes, and still less polished alguazils of police, who roughly threw open the door, and intimated that she must descend. Her place in the carriage was soon supplied by agents, who com menced a most minute search into every part, evidently in quest of something which was considered of vast impor tance. She knew well what was the object of their search ; but as long as she found that it was unsuccessful, she, with the most imperturbable coolness, talked--in a high strain, using no slight threats against the invasion of the liberty of the subject.' " What could they want? Were not her passports all regular ? Was the reign of terror returned that men could be guilty, with impunitT, of such an outrage against a poor unoffending female ?" Rer complaints and remonstrances were continued in this style' up to the moment when she saw that they had found the long .sought - for par cel, which was ingeniously concealed in the bsittom of the carriage. It contained the correspondence—a portfolio, filled with letters of credit at Frankfort and other Places, and besides 15,000 francs in gold. Her tone and mi snner became now all at once changed. To threats and remon strances succeeded tears and supplications, and offers of gold to the worthy gendarmes. But all was in vain. The police agents were, as they usually are, insensible to tears, and in accessible to gold, and the lady was obliged to submit to re turn to Paris, escorted by the gendarmes, and with three police officers, who ungallantly took their seats at the side of the fair traveller. They arrived at Paris by twilight, and Madame La-- having been subject to a long interro gatory by the Minister of Police, and all the documents of which she was the bearer, taken out and verified in her pre sence, she was committed to a place of safety. Her tra velling companion and the postillions who, (except the po lice), were the only parties cognisant of her arrest, were also properly looked after. When Savary had related what we have stated in substance of the manner in which he had ob tained the documents, the Emperor read them ; they were all of the utmost importance, as they showed the views And objects of the kgitimatistes. Savary urged the Emperor to take immediate measures to put down those con spiracies against his Government. Napoleon did not re ply ; he bowed to Savary to take his leave, and await his orders. After Savary had retired, the EMperor again read most of the documents—an expression of in dignation escaping him now and then.. Some of them he threw into the fire as he read them ; others he placed in the drawer of his bureau. For a time he was sad and silent, and it was some moments before he said to me, " Can you conceive such atrocities ?" It does not appear from the statement of Caulaincourt, that the Emperor either pu nished the parties engaged in these intrigues, or took. that advantage of his knowledge of them which he had been a dvised to do. This may perhaps be accounted for b y t h e more pressing nature of other • objects, which about the same time forced themselves on his attention. Every day," adds Caulaincourt, " some new disaster occurs to complicate our situation already so •embarrass in-. The strong towns in Germany in which our gar risons had hitherto held out, were now going from us one by one, and we thus, besides the forts, lost men, munitions, and materiel, those precious resources with which our enemies enriched themselves. Still the new levy of 300,000 men was going on with facility, but we wanted time. We were now in December, and the allies were ad vancing by forced marches. On the Ist of January, 1814, they crossed our frontiers." It was then commenced that campaign of miracles, in which the genius of Napoleon blazed forth with astounding splendour. Never before did an army achieve such pro digies of valour, or perform such skilful manceuvres—work such wonders. In the campaign of France were renewed those prodigies of Italy, which exhibited to the whole world the spectacle of a hero. The close of the military career of Napoleon supplies the most 'gigantic defence which the annals of warfare afford. It is generally understood - that a brevet wiil be an nounced in the Indian army, similar in extent to that winch has just taken taken place in the King's service.
