Bayonne Papers to the 14th, which came to hand this morning, state, that General GUILLE utuoT, the Chief of the Staff of the French Army, arrived there on the 12th; as did also many Ge, nerals of Brigade, and an incalculable number of Employes belonging to the different departments. Ale bridge constructing across the Bidassoa, is to be completed by the Ist April. Nearly the • Whole of the Duke of ANG,OULEME'S establish. dent is arrived there. His HIGHNESS is expected • before the end of the month, and it is supposed, that 44 soon as he has reviewed his troops they will b e ordered to proceed into Spain by various routes, , "less the negotiations on foot between France and England sh o uld decide otherwise. One of these P pers also alleges that the Constitution. theses are hardly making any preparations to op.. chsetbe invasion with the exception of 5 or 600 conscripts Who have arrived at Vittoria. Letters from Saragosa of the sth say, that Gen. BALASTE• nos, was expected there every moment. Gene ral O'DONNEL set out on the 13th instant for Saint John Pied de Port, to organize the Division of the French Army, which is intended to enter Spain by that road.— An English Courier passed through Bayonne from Madrid on the 6th for London. He stated that the KING, the Cortes, and Government, were not to leave. Madrid till the 17th or 18th of March, and that Sir 'Wm. A'Coturr and his Lady would follow them. The remainder of these Papers state in general the great activity which is daily carried on in the prospect of in- vasion. Frankfort Papers, received this morning, con tain the following article :- 46 CONSTANTINOPLE, FED. 10.-Our situation has become more critical. Scarcely had Lord STRANGFORD presented the note to the REIS EFFENDI, than the Porte ordered an increase of its amount by sea and land. The Janissaries again begin to murmur, which makes it feared that they will break nut into fresh' exces ses. To-morrow Lord STRANOFORD will have a solemn audience of the Sultan. A few days after there will be a great Divan, where the answer to be made to the proposition of the English. Ambassador will be discussed. In the mean time Lord STRANOFORD , has ready a Declaration, translated into Greek, to be distributed in the revolted countries. It states that they are not to expect any assistance from the Christian Powers We this day insert in our preceding columns some further extracts from the Paris Papers of Wednesday, which we received yesterday by express. From the statement of the French force which has been collected on the frontier, it would appear that it is far from amounting to a hundred thousand men. The troops at and near &Yonne consist only of forty-seven thousand men. The corps which is forming at Perpignan is to be fifty thousand more; but the moment for commencing hostilities approaches, and it is now acknowledged that the preparations of France are not yet complete! The KING bad announced at the opening of the Session that a 'hundred thousand Frenchmen were reacts to march! On the part of France all has hitherto been boasting and gasconade. On that of Spain, the expression of an unconquerable resolution to maintain her independence, has been accom panied by a frank and honourable avowal of the perils and difficulties of the struggle, and by an activity and vigour of Preparation at once com mensurate with the magnitude and imminency of the danger, and indicative of a fixed determina tion to maintain the conflict to the last. We shall soon see to which side victory will incline. The Constitutional troops in Catalonia are ad vancing upon the French frontier ; and the foreign legion, 'which has been organised at Bar celona, was embarked on the 4th instant for the same destination. The Brest fleet, which sailed some time since, under the command of Admiral 11 AMELIN, has been dispersed and shattered by a tempest. The intelligence from Ancona, Trieste, mid Zante, in our present Paper, is highly favourable to the heroic Greeks, who may now be consider. ed as having achieved their independence. [FaOM A CORRESPONDENT.) STOCK EXCHANGE, Half-past Twelve &Clack.— Since you received your Express from Paris yes terday, there have been seven Expresses from that Capital, three of them this morning. They do not bring news of any importance. The French Funds were 78f. 35c., so that the Speech of Mr. CANNING had produced a rise of only H2O cents.—:Private letters from Paris state that the King of SPAIN was to leave Madrid on the 15th inst. Consols opened this morning at 74f 2 , at which they are steady, with a flat Market. FOREIGN PUNDS.—Very little business is doing in this Market. Spanish Bonds opened at‘26ll.- li.

We received this morning Philadelphia Papers to the '26th February.- -The following are Ex- tracts : [Prom the Advertiser, Feb. 251 " We have received a Carracas Paper of the 23t1 January, from which we collect the follow ing concerning the military operations ih the neighbourhood. On the 25th December a Spanish squadron of nine vessels arrived at Gibraltar, and on the debarkation of their troops, Gen. Clementi fell back to Poroseco, where he remained on the Ist. Morales followed, and took possession of Truxillo on the 30th December. The force of Morales consists of 1,300 men. The latest of our Papers contain no news from the armies, which seem to augur nothing favourable. [From the National Advocate, Feb. 24.] " The brig Georgetown Packet has arrived from Laguira, by which we learn that the pro spects were more flattering than had been for some months back, said to be on account of the confidence of the people in the Government. — General Morales, long the dread of the Colom bians, was completely surrounded by the troops under Generals Paez and Montilla ; his escape was deemed impossible. The Columbian squad ron had the complete command of the sea. " Cirmt.—A. general Convention was to be as sembled in Peru, to determine' on a form of Go vernment. " LIMA.—San Martin , resumed the Supreme Government on the of August." A Proclamation has been issued by the PRESI DENT of the United States, informing that the Convention of Navigation and commerce of America, between the United States and France, has been ratified. -~--. We understand, by private letters from New York this morning, that the Amendment to the new Tariff Bill has been thrown out of Congress. Both Houses of Parliament were last night occupied with important business. In the House of Lords, on the Order of the Day being read for the house going into a Committee on the National Debt Reduction Bill, the Earl of LI VERPOOL defended the Sinking Fund, as now proposed to be established, in one of the most lucid and argumentative speeches ever uttered on a question of economical science vvithin the walls of Parliament. The expences of the late war y as his Lordship observed, had not im poverished the country. 4 ' War, by creating artificial markets, might give a stimulus to the capital of the country, and increase its wealth." The calamities which had arisen out of the progress and termination of the contest were not owing to any dimininution of the national wealth, bid to the changes of property which the increase of taxation in the first place, and its diminution subsequently una voidably occasioned. The recurrence of similar evils, in future wars, could only be prevented by the existence of a Sinking Fund, which could be appropriated to the discharge of extraordinary expences,and thus obviate the necessity of imposing new taxes ; and though a Sinking Fund of five mil lions might not be found sufficient for defraying the expences of a war; yet as far as it went, it was obvious that its effect must be to prevent those evils, arising from th e v i o le n t transf e r of property, which had alr'eady been so se verely felt.--In the House of Commons, Mr. WALLACE'S Warehousing Bill, after an inef fectual opposition, went through a Committee, and WWI ordered to be reported on Monday. Mr. STUART WORTLEY wished that time might be allowed for the woollen manufacturers of Yorkshire to consider how their interests would be affected by the Bill ; and Mr. THOMAS WIL. SON WUS desirous that the exception in favour of " silk and linen" should be extended to " woollen" manufactures. On the division, however, the majority for going into the COmmittee was 82 to 8. We fear that the effect of this Bill, while it may for a time be favourable to foreign commerce, will be most injuriously and indeed ruinously felt by many branches of the na tional industry. The London Watch Trade, we nuderstand, are amongst the classes of menu fucturers who anticipate serious injury from its operation. The Citat,iceLt.oa of the EXCVEQUER, in the Committee to consider of the Beer Duties Acts, brought forward a series of Resolutions for permitting an intermediate quality of beer between the present strong and small beer to be brewed for sale. The principal features of the Right Hon. Gentleman's proposal are, that it shall be competent for any person to take out a Licence for selling Beer or Ale of a quality not exceeding in price 27 5 . per barrel, and paying a duty of ss. per barrel ; that the beer shall be sold in any quantity down to a pint;--that it shall not be consumed on the premises where it is sold ;—that brewers and publicans shall n o t b e allowed to b rew n sell the o beer of intermediate quality the r Premises where they carry on their ordi nary business ;—and that the persons sell ing the new quality of beer shall he free from the control of the Magistrates. The pro posed measure was opposed by Mr. Alderman WOOD, on behalf of the publicans, two thousand of whom, the Hon. Member stated, were amongst his constituents.--The proposition, however, if carried Into a l aw , w ill b e hi g hl y favourable, in, our opinion, to public morals, and to the peace, comfort, and prosperity-of many thousands of families, who are now destroyed by the asso ciations of the pot-house. Though it must be admitted that it will prove injurious to the pre sent Brewers and Publicans, it is a great boon to the working and middling classes, and will have a beneficial influence on the agricultural interest., TILE KING.---(Brighton, March W.) —His MAJESTY continues in health, and to enjoy good spirits.

" now cruel to say I'm enamour'd with BALL, " Pre known him a week, and don't like him at all." J. C. ORATORTO.—The season concluded last night at Drury-Lane Theatre. It has been remarkably successful, as might be expected from the ex tensive arrangements which had been made to support the entertainment with the best Per formers, vocal and instrumental, and, for that purpose, it was obvious that no expence had been spared. CAMPORESE, Mrs. SALMON, Miss STE. PIIENS, MISS FORGE, MISS POVEY, BRAIIAM, BELLAMY, SAPIO, TEanAtr., &c. &c. formed a vocal host. The instrumental department was ably filled by BocnsA, Sir GEORGE SMART, Mont, and other distinguished Performers. The Selections were judicious, and the whole was brought forward with correctness, force, and animation. The success, therefore, which attended it was a due tribute to the general excellence of the entertainment. ROYAL ACADEMY.—Mr. FLAXMAN, in his Lecture on SCULPTURE, on Monday last, with that liberal spirit which always characterizes true Genius, paid a just and feeling tribute to the memory of CANOVA. lie dilated with learning, judgment, and taste upon his talents and his private virtues. The learned Professor stated, that highly as the merits of CANOVA were distin. guished in every country, he was equally admired a'nd esteemed in his own, for the goodness of his heart and the general excellence of his personal character. lie dispensed the means, observed Mr. FLAXMAN, which the great encouragement that attended him placed at his disposal with' the most liberal and benevolent spirit ; and the tenderness and beauty of his style of art were emanations of his own mind, combining, perhaps, more of the real grace and liveliness of Nature with the classical and select forms of the Antique, than has been seen in any other Sculptor. The Professor enumerated and de scribed the principal works of the great departed Artist, and impressed upon the students a due consideration► of the debt of gratitude which every English Artist owes to his memory, for the unvaried kindness with which he never failed to receive them at Rome. We regret that we have not had an opportunity of following Mr. FLAXMAN through the whole of his admirable series of Lectures during the course, and still more that on Monday next it reaches its conclu sion. ft is hardly necessary to add, that this liberal and learned tribute to the merit of CANOVA from an Artist, who is himself so highly and so justly distinguished, could not but excite in the audience the warmest feeling of respect, esteem, and admiration. MRS. Stop°Ns.—We are very sorry to hear that the death or her brother STEPHEN, her sister Mrs. Twigs, and her brother Jottm, within a few mouths, has deeply affected th© health as well as the feelings of this once unrivalled ornament of the theutriCal world, THE LATE MR. K cal /It v.—Erroneous accounts of the property and the bequests of Mr. liumuLt have appeared in the► public journals. We are assured that they are gross exaggerations.. It has been absurdly said that an old play-bill states Mr. J. P. KEMBLE. to have performed at Worcester on February 12th, 1767. The truth is, that he was born on the first of that month, in that very year. A 'new Comedy is expected at Covent-Garden Theatre, from the pen of Mr. LUNN, an Officer of the Army, who hus already distinguished himself in the literary world by several humorous Poems, which are marked by considerable knowledge, as well as by the true vis comica, and whose cha racter is highly respected in private life. This Gentleman has written a tragedy, of which Regulus is the hero, and which may rank with the best productions of the same kind that have appeared in later days. We hope to see it grace the Stage.

This morning, a little after eight o'clock, a fire broke out at a Carpenter's shop, tuate in Whetstone's Park, Lincoln's Inn-fields, and adjoining to the great timber-yard of Mr. CRUDDASS• As it is surrounded by a ,number of old wood premises, great apprehensiOns were entertained that the fire would be very destructive ; but, happily, from the exer tions of the neighbours, and the fire-englnes which were soon collected, no very great damage was done. The chapel, in , Gate-street, is a good deal injured, as well as two or three houses in the same street. We do not hear of any accident. It appeared that the fire was arca sioned by the carpenters, when they went to breakfast, having left on the fire a pot containing combustible matter. ACCOUT. [From the Short-hand Writer of the Insolv N ent Debtors' Court.] This morning a fire broke out in Whetstone Park, Lincoln's Inn-fields, at the adjoining pre mises of J. MASSEY, Esq. Chief Clerk to the Insolvent Debtors' Court, whose town residence is No. 2, Gate -street. This Gentleman was induced to rise early on professional business, and first discovered the fire, and gave instant alarm. Unfortunately Mrs. MASSEY, who is supposed to be in the last stage of pregnancy, together with her children, came up from the country house, at Drayton, a few days ago, and it was with the greatest difficulty that they were conveyed, almost in a state of nudity, to the house of Mr.Sotrrito ATE, where they received every attention. At present it is not ascertained from what source the fire sprung, but several houses are destroyed, and the whole of the neighbourhood thrown into the greatest consternation. We are happy to state that, as Chief Clerk of the Court, it happened that Mr. MASSEY had no important documents destroyed, which on other occasions might have• been the case ; had it been so, serious inconve nience would have resulted. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the exertions of the Police for protecting the property, and the fire. men for their laborious exertion to prevent the extension of the conflagration.

EQUALIZATION OF DUTIES ON SUGAR. Yesterday the adjourned debate on the resolutions proposed on Thursday by Mr. Forbes was resumed. Mr. WEEtnwo and Mr. MACAULAY spoke in support of the resolutions, Mr. HUME followed on the same side, and used many argu. ments in favour of a free trade, not only in sugar, but in all the commodities of East Indian commerce. Mr. S. DIXON supperted the amendment of. Mr. Plummer, and thought that, considering the great and peculiar difficulties under which cultivation of sugar m the West Indies laboured, the merchants were entitled to the preference which the law secured them in the home market. Mr. It. JAcKsow contended for an open trade in sugar, and expatiated on the advantages to the Asiatic atid itrltish (*mar t , nines which might be derived from an unrestrained comtnere,.. Mr. STErrms supported the resolutions., Mr. FORBES replied. The CHAIRMAN put the question, so as to take the sense or the Court on both at the same time.:-." that the words proposed to be left out stand part of the question." . The question was carried in the affirmative. A ballot was demanded, which the Chairman appointed to take place on Tuesday, the 18th of April next. IRELAND. A Gentleman who resides in the County of Cork, celled us a few days ago, and gave a most frightful account of the state of society in that part of the Kingdom.
