The French Ministerial Papers are chiefly filled with pompous and inflated accounts of the 134 " of ANGOULEME'S triumphal entry into 'aria, 'inn private letters, however, give a ver y ditrerent colouring to an event, which it is : t he Obvious policy of the French Government, ail d of the abettors of the war against Spain, - - to represent with the greatest possible eclat, 'We have ourselves received a letter this mornin g from an accurate and intelligent friend at Paris, who states that the mei). 00 11 of the Duke was extremely. cool, and that if the Sentiments of the Parisians, respecting the in justice of the Spanish Iva!) are to he inferred from their conduct on , this occasion, they have been ex- Pressed in a very striking and unequivocal manner. Although an illumination of the City was ordered t vamthorities,ourCorrespondent states that not no-third of the City was lighted up! En tire streets Were shrouded in utter darkness. In some of the. principal streets the inhabitants of many houses closed their shutters, in order to mark their sentiments in the strongest manner ; and even the families who complied with the requisi tion which was made upon their loyalty, in nume rous instances manifested their unwillingness, by ethi biting, only one or two lights ! • The gate of the me ntion occupied by the British Ambassador was Closed, and on each side of it was planted a pole, h eft ring,from courtesy, the letter A., surmounted . 1 1 n Crown, in small coloured lamps. Our Cor lesPondent's letter is dated at two o'clock on Wednesday. We have not room for it to-day, but we shall have the satisfaction of laying it be f're our readers on Monday. e Copy the following article from the r P dot e at tha 2d instant.

We are assured thit the Order has of late obtained the consent of the Greeks who have the greatest influence, and that England will not oppose the execution of the above project." CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consola opened this morning at 85, 841, 85i, to 85,1, at which price they remain steady up to this hour.—We understand that one Express has arrived. from Paris with Thursday's prices,which are nearly the same as last received. Rentes, 90f. 45c. to gof. 50c.—Spanish, 281. We do not hear that the above Express brings any material informa tion, excepting details of the continued rejoicings in the above Capital. We have no reports, nor any kind of informa tion on 'Change. FOREIGN MAnicEr.—Spanigh Bonds opened this morning at 2645, went up to 27i, with little doing, owing to there being scarcely any varia tion in the price of Spanish Bonds at Paris. We this day lay before our Readers a copious report of the proceedings yesterday at Hertford, which resulted in the postponement of the trial of the persons charged with the murder of WILLIAM WEARE, until the 6th January next. ,—The necessity for this unfortunate interruption to the course of the public justice of the country, originated in the prejudice which it was proved had been done to the prisoners by the repre. sentations of the press, and by the performance of the principal features of the murder at one of the London Theatres. It cannot be denied that the case of 'the prisoners has been greatly prejudiced by these means, and that it is almost impossible that they could have had a fair trial, unless time had been allowed for the irritation of the public mind to subside. livery person can judge for himself of the extent of the prejudice ; for there is perhaps scarcely a man in the country who has not been persuaded, by the ex-parte statements which have appeared, of the guilt of the prisoners. THE KING'S COURT.—Yesterday, at half-past three o'clock, his MAJESTY held a Court at his Palace in Pall-mall, which was attend e d by th e Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Am bassador from the King of the Netherlands, the Portuguese Ambassador, the Saxon Minister, the Minister of State from the King of the Netherlands, the Master of the Ceremonies, the Deputy Mas ter of the Ceremonies, &c. The Dutch Ambas sador, and Monsieur de Falck, Minister of State from the King of the Netherlands upon a special mission, had audiences of his Majesty. Baron Just, the Saxon Minister, had an audie,pif of his Majesty ; and the Count de Villa Real, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of Portugal, also had an audience, to deliver his credentials. These were attended by Mr. Canning. Mr. Canning had an audience of the King. The Court broke up soon after six o'clock. Yesterday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess A vausTA visited his MAJESTY. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, accom panied by the Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA, arrived in town yesterday from ,Bushy Park. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, the Duchesi of GLoucErrEn, the Princess Au- GUSTA, , and the Princess SOPHIA, partook of a dejeune with the Duke of YORK. Last evening the Duke and Duchess of CEA* RENCE, accompanied by the Duchess of GLou- CUTER and the . Princess AUGUSTA, returned to Bushey Park. On Wednesday evening the Prince of LEIN.. EN GE N left the KING'S Palace at Kensington for Claremont, the residence of his Royal Highness Prince LEOPOLD. MALTA.—The Chief Judge, Sir JOSEPH 7.. ta t a Maltese, a Knight of the order of St. Michael and George, being the first order re cently conferred 'by the Maltese Government for the' encouragement of legal talents, diet! a short time ago. All the Government officers and merchants were invited to the funeral. Sir Joseph being the first of the new order that has died since its creation, the Lieutenant- Governor, who attended the funeral, ordered all the crosses, Gcc. to be buried with him. — The Bishop of Malta had previously sent word that the order not having been yet ap proved by the Court of Rome, lie could not per mit them to he carried with the body. A long cor respondence has in consequence beep entered into between the Bishop and the Governor on the sub ject, and the result has been, that the question is now referred to Rome. In the mean time two of the Judges have resigned the order, perceiv ing that the Church disapproves them. THE HERTFORD TRIALS.—The disappointment felt was universal, on the postponement of the trial being made k n own, and numbers who had contrived to overcome the scruples of a person who had charge of the gallery door, as early as four o'clock on Friday morning, by applying a very handsome douceur, departed with the greatest chagrin. The accommodations in the town were very fair, but most tremen dously dear; beds were only to be had on Thursday night at about two guineas each, and this sum was very willingly paid, The town was crowded during the whole of the day,' and many persons of rank were seen parading the streets who had but ni vain endeavoured to gain admission into the Court. The police was very well regulated, and some London pickpockets were captured and lodged in Hertford gaol, among whom was the noted Tit Shields; he was caught by Nicholls, of Bow-street, in the crowd. On Hunt finding his evidence rejected, and judging from the appearances, he said, on his return to the gaol, Very well, t h ey have done me, and I must be hanged." It is the general belief that the evidence is conclusive against this man, and that he will be condemned. We have just learned that a Gentleman landed last night at Skerries, from Lima, in one hundred days, who states that the Independents had re occupied the city, and that the Royalists, who had evacuated it, were intercepted, and no doubt entertained that they would all be made pri soners.—(Dublin Evening Post.) THE TIIIATRE• COVENTZARDEN.—The Public, last night, were much surprized and highly gratified in seeing Mr. YOUNG, one of the chief tragic actors of his day, appear in the character of Sir Per tinax illackycophant, and perform with admirable ability. The Play itself is a despicable libel upon the people of Scotland, and therefore ought never to have been suffered to appear after its qualities had, been developed in the first re presentation. The author, who was a very vin dictive man, must have founded this general at tack upon a people on some private provocation or pique. To shew the paltry malevolence of the design, the play was originally ailed, The True burn Seatchman, but the author could not obtain a licence for its representation under that title, and therefore adopted that which it bears at present. AlAcitures character as an actor, is admirably given by Cituacumt, in his Res. clad. He performed the parts of Shylock, Sir iirchy 111 6 Sarcasnr, and Sir Pertinax, better than any of his successors that we have seen, but in all other parts he was laborious, coarse, and clumsy, always attempting to shew acting as a theoretical science rather than as a vivid representation of human life. He was the bitter enemy of GARRICK, from envy rather than from any provocation, for when his violent passions occasioned his dismis sion from the stage, GAItnICK did all in his power to restore him, and in the meantime offered him a generous provision. But to return to the play. It is not only a libel upon a thoughtful, prudent, and intelligent people, but its satire' and humour are common-place, and if ut tered in private society would be thought to sa vour of mere malice and hackneyed abuse. How ever as a mixed audience are not capable of cri tical discrimination, and, such is the nature of mankind, are gratified with the degradation of those above them,, the comedy altogether is what may be stiled a good acting play. It is now indeed full time that we should advert to the performance. It has been thought es.. sentirtl to the part of Sir Pe:llium that he should speak the Scotch qtcent correctly. We ere by no means of the same opinion, not only because it gives direction and force to the national libel, but becauSe the sentiments, feel- lugs, end passions of the character are what the Actor is chiefly to regard. We are not surpriz ed that 'the Frenchmen in King John speak good English, or the Roman cardinal, in that play The character of Sir Pertinax would be more effective if supported without the Scottish accent, for its intrinsic qualities would then operate upon the audience, nor would they, or the actor, be em barrassed by the pronunciation. We ought toapo logize for having so long delayed noticing the per formance of Mr. YOUNG. It was surprisingly ex cellent throughout,even without considering that he is so admirable a tragedian, and that his qualities and talents seemed to be limited by nature to the latter capacity. We shall not enter into any analysis of his performance, but content ourselves with saying that the character was sustained with appropriate and striking merit throughout—every point of sarcasm was forcibly eXpressed, the hu- Moor was given with luxtiriant effect, but was still analogous to the character, the violent emo tions were accurately pouhrayed,_ and yet they were nicely discriminated, and kept separate, from what they would have appeared if connected with the lofty effusions of the tragic muse. Upon the whole Mr. YOUNG displayed altogether such comic powers as to present him in a new light, and we cannot give our opinion more decisively than to say, t h a t it was upon a level with his tragic merits, and fully justified the very favourable and almost enthusiastic re ception which he experienced from a very nu• merous audience. We must be short in our corn ments on the rest of the performers. Mrs. CHAT TERLEY was easy and spirited in Lady Rod°lpha, COOPER manly and dignified in Egerton, Anaorr natural and forcible in Sidnej, Mrs. Grans excel lent in Betty flint, and BA ItTl,r, Y gaven good repre sentation of the credulous, dissipated, and toping Peer. We are tempted to add an , anecdote, in order to justify our opinion of the Scottish cha racter. A mercantile gentleman, a native of Scotland, whom we knew early in life, told us, perhaps with some national but allowable partiality, that while :re resided in Holland the Dutch Government made the following estimate of the Irish, American, and Scottish characters t—When any outrage occurred they were lenient to the Irish, cond. Bering them as a bold but thoughtless people, to the Americans also, as belonging to a country not sufficiently matured in civil regulations, but none to the Scotch, considering them as coming from a nation distinguished for prudence, knowledge, and good order, and, consequently, conceiving that they ought to have known better•. GARRICK. This great and unrivalled Actor in comedy, 41 well as tragedy, made his first appearance at Goodman's Field's Theatre, then under the ma nagement of Mr. GIFFA RD in 1741. The nharac. ter which he performed was Richard the Third, and the spirit, force, truth, and nature, which marked his acting, overturned at once, the old system, and raised him far above all his compe. titans. The following account of him was pub. lished soon after his first appearance, and the present race of theatrical Performers cannot do better than attentively consider the 'striking lesson which the description of the merits of this great Actor so forcibly inculcates " Mr. ainnicx is but of a middling stature, yet, being well prollortioned and having a peculiar happiness in his ad. dress and action, Is a living instance that it is not essential to a theatrial hero to be six foot high. His voice is clear and pierc ing, perfectly sweet and harmonious, without monotony, drawl. whichthe genius of in , or aflectation ; it is capable of all the various passions the heart of man is agitated with, and Shakepeare can describe; it neither is whining, bellowing, or grumbling, but in whatever character he assimulates, perfectly easy hi its transitions, natural in its cadence, and beautiful in its elocution. He is not less happy in his mien and gait, in which he is neither strutting or mincing, neither stiff nor slouching. When three or four are on the stage with him, he is attentive to whatever is spoken, and never drops his charac ter when he has finished a speech, by either looking contemp. tibly on an inferior performer, unnecessary spitting, or suf. fering his eyes to wander through the whole circle of specta tors. His action comes ponds with the voice, and both with the character he is to pig ; it is never superfluous, awkw ar d, Or too frequently repeat ed, but graceful, decent, and YAriollB."

STANZAS To the Memory of the Spanish Patriots latest killed, in resist ing the Regency and the Duke of ANQOULEME. WY T. CA3tPIJEIA, ESQ. Brave men, who at the Trocadero fell— Beside your cannons conquer'd not, though slain, There is a victory in dying well For Freedom,--and ye have not died in vain, For come what may, there shall be hearts in Spain To honour, Ay embrace, your inartyr'd lot, Cursing the Bigot's and the Bourbon's chain, And looking on your graves, though trophied not, As holier, hallow'd ground, than priests could make the spot! What though your cause be baffled—freemen cast In dungeons—dragg'd to death, or forc'd to flee; hope is not wither d in affliction's blast; — The patriot's blood's the seed of Freedom's tree; And short your orgies of revenge shall he, Cowl'd demons of the Inquisitorial cell; Earth shudders at your victory,—for ye Are worse than common fiends from Heaven that fell— The baser ranker sprung, Autochthoner of hell! Go to your bloody rites again ;—bring back The ball of horrors and the assessor's pen, Recording answers shriek'd upon the rack ; Smile o'er the gaspings of spine-broken men ; Preach, perpetrate, damnation in your den ; Then let your altars, ye blaaphemers, peal, With thanks to Heaven that let yeitinose again, To practice deeds with torturing fire and steel No eye may search—no tongue may challenge or reveal. Yet laugh not in your carnival of crime Too loudly, ye oppressors—Spain was free ; Her soil has felt the foot-prints, and her clime Ilden winnow'd by the wings of Liberty ; And these even parting scatter as they flee Thoughts—influences, to live in hearts unborn, Opinions that shall wrench the prison key From Persecution--chew her mask oif-torn, And tramp her, bloated head beneath the foot of Scorn. Glori to them that die in this great cause ! Kings, Bigots, can inflict no brand of shame, Or shape of death, to shroud them from applause:— NO, manglers of the martyr's earthly frame, Your hangmen fingers cannot touch his fume. Still in your prostrate land there shall be some Proud hearts, the shrines of Freedom's vestal flame ; Long trains of ill may pass unheeded, dumb, But vengeance is behind, and justice is to come. ~, t V. „ 4 . , : s .....1' r ... 44 , 1: •.. o 31 ••• ° -a. t•,)•-...4:&1* ~ iS. , ' , ~ t* 1 . 1 .1 . • . GENERAL MINA. General MINA slept at the Royal Hotel, Ply mouth, on Sunday night, but left it on Monday, and went to private lodgings in Stonehouse, where, we understand, he intends to reside for some time. On Monday evening he went to the Theatre at Plymouth. The house was crowded in almost every part. The performances were for the benefit of Mr. HARVEY, the Stage-Ma nager, and, were by desire and under the patronage of the worthy Commander-in-Chief, Sir JOHN CAMERON, K.C.8., who arrived at an early hour, and was greeted with most enthusi astic bursts of applause from all parts of the house. On General MINA'S arrival, which was a considerable time after, the audience waved .their hats, and gave three cheers. As soon as the noise ceased, a person called out— " Englishmen, in showing your respect for foreigners, do not forget your KlNG—let us have God save the King." The Orchestra imme diately commenced the national uir,and performed it in grand style. Three hearty English rounds of applause followed. Before the audience had time to seat themselves, Some person in the boxes called for 44 See the Conquering Hero comes," which the Orchestra instantly played. Clapping of hands followed, and the performance, which had been suspended all the time, was then resumed, and proceeded with out further interruption to the conclusion, when Rule Britannia was called for and played, the audience standing uncovered, and joining in it, the same as in God save the King. MINA seemed to take considerable interest in the performances throughout, which were Virginias, and the High land Reel—both were admirably performed.— He was dressed in a plain suit of coloured clothes.—He is rather a stout dark-complexioned elderly-looking man. BATH ITALLA.N OPERA.-.We cannot too highly praise the exertions which our old favourite DE BEGNIS has made in the productions of the Italian Opera at Bath. The whole weight of the stage direction fell upon him, and it is merely justice to state, that his arringements have met with the most complete success. The good people of Bath have fully appreciated his exertions, as on the second evening of his appearance he was wel. corned by long and continued applause. MIDDLESEX ,SESSI6NS.-(Til5 DAY.) TRIAL of BENBOW — for a LIBEL on WILLIAM CARMICHAEL,SAIITII, EBQ., of Sloaae Street. William Benbow, -the bookseller of Castle street, Leicester square, was put upon his trial, on an indictment charging him with having pub lished a pamphlet called " The Horrors and Crimes of Kelly House Lunatic Asylum," con taining a wicked and malicious libel on the chit:- racter of William Carmichael Smith, hsq., one of the paymasters of the Exchequer Bills, residing in Sloane-street, Chelsea. Mr. ADOLPIIUS was for the prosecution, and Mt . .. Cocteau for the defence. It will be recollected that the prosecutor some time buck, owing to the insane state of mind under which his wife laboured, was neces. sitated to place her in Kelly House Asylum, from which place she was afterwards re moved by habeas anpus. The defendant had published in the pamphlet in question the particulars of that transaction, and connecting with it past occurrences of Mr. Smith's life, of a most libellous description, impugning his con duct in his situation which he held in the Exchequer-office, and holding him up to the ridicule of society. Witnesses were called to prove the purchase of the libel, and that Mr. Smith was the person so defamed. After a speech of considerable length and energy from Mr. COOPER, the. Chairman, summed up, and the Jury acquitted the defendant. Lord Mc/sutra: sat on the Bench during part of the trial. OLD BAILEY.—(TinsDATJ FORGERY.—Wm. flay was put to the bar on an indictment charging him with feloniously ut tering a certain paper, purporting to be for bl. value, well knowing the same to be forged. There were no less than four indictments against the prisoner, who described himself to be a printer by trade. In order to bring home the ,charge to the prisoner the different persons to whom he had passed notes were called, ns were the re spective gentie►nen from the Bank. The prisoner put in a written defence, in which ho ascribed his full to distress, and said, that he found the notes in Fleet-market, where he was nightly obliged to resort, having neither house or home to go to. lie called the very prosecutors'against him to speak to his character, and they all gave him a very good one. Mr. Justice BAILEY summed up the evidence to the Jury, who found the prisoner Guiky— Death. 111URCANT11,1 1 , SIIIPPING.

Fat.mouTst, DEC. variable.--The schooner Venus, which put into this port yesterday from Penzanee„ bound to Leghorn, after being as far as Cape Finaster, in a tremendous squall from west last night, parted both cables and drove on Trefttsio Point, where she lost.her rudder, but after wards got off and drifted on the rocks near St. Maws, what,, she now lies ; her cargo is discharging. HOLYTIEAD, DEC 4..—Wind W.N.W. blowing a hard gale.—The brig Lord Middleton, Thomson, from St. Andrews, N. 8., m Liverpool, drove on shore to leivard of this harbour ' last night is bilged, and not likely to be got nfi As soon as day-light brought to view the unfortunate vessel, and the prri lous situation of all co board (no Life-boat in the lilace) f hour boats put out with the view of saving the lives ef the erew, but the sea ran so high alongside that only one boat, being a six. oared boat, kindly sent by the.

An additional Contract for supplying the Go vermnent with '2,000 tierces of Beef, and 4,000 tierces of Pork, of the present season's cure, has been proposed. This in itself, without fiar a moment reflecting on the warlike indication which it conveys, will be of essential service to the country. The delivery of the 6,000 tierces is required by the 30th of April.—(Cork Con. stilution.) Miss BRUNTON took her leave of the Bath{au (Hence on Wednesday last, att . entered into ttn , engagement for life with Mr. ATES, of Covent- Garden Theatre. As she has studied to The Way to get Married," and taken a part in the old piece of " Matrimony," it is to be hoped. she will pass the " lioney-moom" pleasantly-- learn " How to grow rich"---carefully avoid " Family Jare"----and ultimately conclude with that admirable play of Sri A KSPFAII Ws," .4114 well that ends well.--(llath 'Jerald, Dec. 5.) N o mg/maple volt Lorc.---A• certain truly waited on a physician in great trouble about her daughter. ‘ 6 What ails her?" said the doctor. ' Alas, doctor! I cannot tell; but she has lost her humour, her looks, her stomach; her strength consumes every day, so us we fear ahe cermet live." " Why do you not marry her?" "Alas, doctor! that we would fain do, and have offered her as good a match as she could ever expect ; but she will not hear of marrying." "la fhero no other, do you think, that she would be con tent to marry ?" " Ah, doctor ! that is it that troubles us ; for these is a young gentleman t% doubt not she loves that her father and l can never consent to." 66 Why, look you, madatn" replies the Doctor gravely, (being among all his books in his closet,) 64 then the case is this : your daughter would marry one man, and you would have her marry another : in all my books I find no remedy for such a disease as this !" In the case lately decided in the Scotch Court of Session, the trustees of the late Earl of FivE, in consequence of the general depreciation of agricultural produce, agreed that Gill, a tenant, should have a certain deduction from the rent in his tack ; but doubtful of their powers, he suspended a threatened charge for the tack iu his lease, and the Court supported the tenant, to the extent of the deduction previously agroed upon. This decision is of some moment to the tenantry of Scotland.
